==Magia Record Events==&lt;br /&gt;
===See You Tomorrow===&lt;br /&gt;
* One morning at the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira greets an older neighbor who warns her about increasing danger in the area. Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them. The girl agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, finishing the final preparations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day of the school festival proceeds without major incident. Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, sampling food and enjoying the event. They take a photo together at the repaired arch—Tsumugi, Manaka, and the transfer student in her uniform. The transfer student reflects later that she will cherish the photo forever, grateful for the kindness she did not feel she deserved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Autumn of Reading===&lt;br /&gt;
This seems to have been an event without story. Needs to be re-checked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Girls in the Hood===&lt;br /&gt;
* An earthquake strikes the city, and on a rooftop, Jun Kazari drops both her yo-yo and her soul gem while practicing tricks. She chases after the soul gem, while the yo-yo falls into the hood of Mitsune Miwa, a hikikomori watching a performance below. Mitsune decides to return it and runs up the stairs, where she collides with Jun. Jun explains she needs her soul gem, and Mitsune returns the yo-yo. A Witch&#039;s barrier appears around them, and Jun transforms to fight while telling Mitsune to close her eyes. Mitsune peeks, collapses after seeing the Witch die, and Jun carries her outside, claiming it was all a dream. Jun insists on treating Mitsune since she saved her yo-yo, and takes her to a candy store called Tomorrow Shop. Jun introduces her to the children there, and Mitsune is amazed by how loved Jun is. Mitsune must leave by 6 PM, and Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Girls in the Hood|Girls in the Hood]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kanae enters first, and Jun follows to save Mitsune. They defeat the Witch together, and Mitsune wakes in a park. Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop&amp;quot; again, and Mitsune smiles and agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Mitsune later sees Kanae talking to Kyubey and follows her, but is pulled into a Familiar&#039;s labyrinth. Jun saves her, and Mitsune directly asks if Jun is a magical girl. Jun begins explaining Witches, Familiars, and magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mitsune admits she still cannot go to school or make friends. Jun says she also struggles with friends. Mitsune wonders if she should become a magical girl, but Jun yells at her not to. Mitsune leaves upset. Kanae warns Jun that Mitsune has the qualities to become a magical girl, and Jun reveals she is moving away from Kamihama. She used her wish to save the shop, but now realizes other things are more important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Jun tells Mitsune she is moving next week and that magical girls do not have the kind of magic Mitsune dreams of. Mitsune must make her own dreams come true. Jun promises to prove she does not need magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Jun finds that the children and Mitsune went to explore Shinsei Ward without her. She finds them at an abandoned construction site where Mitsune encountered a Witch. Mitsune sent the children away but stayed behind. Jun arrives and uses a homemade bomb to damage the Witch before they escape. A gas leak causes a larger explosion, and they escape on Kanae&#039;s motorcycle. Kanae later destroys the Witch barrier herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Jun says goodbye at the shop. Mitsune arrives crying, and Jun gives her a fake gum toy as a farewell gift. Jun tells her she can become whatever she wants without magic, slowly and little by little, and that if she keeps that happy face, they will meet again. &amp;quot;Someday, see you at the Tomorrow Shop again.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo suggests they exchange letters like her grandmother did to maintain hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They thank each other and resolve to move forward together, hoping no further sacrifices will be needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope 2====&lt;br /&gt;

The photos are from seven years ago, when Mikazuki Villa was a boarding house. Iroha notices a girl standing next to Yachiyo and her grandmother—it is Mifuyu with long hair. Yachiyo explains she knew Mifuyu back then and they fought Witches together. Tsuruno is shocked and Yachiyo says they did not leave a good first impression on each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seven Years Ago&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo fights her first Witch. She is scared but determined. Inside the barrier, she finds another Magical Girl crying. The girl is too frightened to fight. Yachiyo tries to cooperate, but the girl runs away. Yachiyo defeats the Witch alone. Afterward, she confronts the crying girl and tells her that if she cannot fight, she should quit. The girl begs Yachiyo not to leave her alone. Yachiyo is harsh but later realizes she is also scared. Both girls cry alone, afraid of being Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo is the leader of her model unit. The other members are starting to trust her. One member, Yellow, still does not approve of Yachiyo as leader. Yachiyo continues working hard. After her lesson, she defeats a Familiar. She encounters Mifuyu again. Mifuyu says she felt the Familiar&#039;s presence but was too scared to enter the barrier. Yachiyo is harsh again, but Mifuyu says she wants to talk properly. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives and invites Mifuyu to a candy store. Mifuyu has never been to one before. She is amazed by the syrup. The grandmother invites her to visit Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s unit has a successful photoshoot. She feels happy. Later, she senses a powerful Witch and enters the barrier. Two other Magical Girls are already fighting it. Yachiyo asks to join them, but they attack her. They say the Witch is their prey and threaten her. Mifuyu appears and says they should cooperate.

* Mifuyu visits Mikazuki Villa. She brings sweets. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother shows the album and the magazine featuring Yachiyo&#039;s unit.

* Several days later, Yachiyo and Mifuyu continue patrolling. Mifuyu&#039;s parents increase her lessons because they suspect she is sneaking out to play. Yachiyo feels guilty. They decide to reduce patrols for the next week.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s manager tells her the unit will be disbanded at the end of the month. Yachiyo is devastated. Her wish to keep the unit alive was meaningless. She meets Mifuyu at the candy store. Mifuyu has been scolded and had her phone taken away. She says she cannot endure her life anymore. Yachiyo blames herself for dragging Mifuyu around. A Witch appears. They fight it, but two other Magical Girls show up and attack them. The Witch kills one of them. Yachiyo and Mifuyu fight the Witch together and defeat it. The surviving Magical Girl takes the grief seed and leaves. Yachiyo and Mifuyu are broken. They ask Kyubey to let them quit, but he refuses.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo finds a grief seed left behind by the surviving Magical Girl. She realizes she saved the girl&#039;s life. Mifuyu says that even though their wishes were meaningless, they are still alive and can protect what is important. Yachiyo recalls her grandmother&#039;s words about leaving feelings behind through letters. She decides she and Mifuyu should exchange letters to leave their feelings behind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day at Mikazuki Villa&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu continue looking through the photo album. Mifuyu says the letters were their hope and their weakness. She suggests they stop exchanging letters because they are now seniors who must be strong. Yachiyo refuses. She says the letters keep her tied to reality and give her hope. Mifuyu agrees to continue. They find an old letter Yachiyo wrote. Yachiyo says she will write this year&#039;s letter. Mifuyu promises to write one too. They vow to exchange letters forever.&lt;br /&gt;

Shortly after, Shizuku breaks her favorite mug while washing dishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sent&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Shizuku notices a borrowed photo book is missing. Ayaka messages that Ryo found a scoop and Ikumi actually fell, making the fortunes three for three.

Shizuku feels relieved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sent&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Shizuku wanders to a pond, where Kanagi finds her and speaks about protecting magical girls. Shizuku interprets this as a reminder that everyone leaves and excuses herself.

She turns her phone off, convinced she has nowhere left to return to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sent&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku finds herself in an unfamiliar place, confronted by a mysterious figure. The figure tells her she will never belong because she always runs away, urging her to abandon everything and keep traveling forever.

The figure reveals itself as her Doppel and agrees to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sent&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She wakes at the Adjuster Shop surrounded by Ayaka, Ikumi, Ryo, and Mitama. Her Soul Gem was pitch black and her Doppel emerged. Kanagi sent a message through Mitama, offering friendship. Despite Mitama insisting she rest, Ayaka drags her home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sent&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the coffee shop, the friends gather. Hinano arrives, having fallen into a pond while searching for Shizuku, and expresses her desire to be friends too. As Shizuku prepares tea, the group grows lively around her. She reflects that she still does not know how she wants to live, but for now, being able to smile as she watches everyone have fun is enough. Ryo quietly takes a photo of her smiling, and Shizuku joins the others as they laugh together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sent&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Ashley visits Riko at her family&#039;s shop. After observing Riko&#039;s father pat her head, Ashley mentions she wished her own father had done the same. She asks Riko for video ideas, and Riko recalls a scary story Mitama told her. They visit Mitama, who excitedly agrees to be in the video but admits the doll story was made up. She offers a different tale about a fallen warrior from the Kamakura period who still wanders Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;horror&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They investigate the location Mitama mentioned and mistake two Magical Girls, Asuka and Sasara, for the ghost. Asuka explains they were practicing there, and Ashley offers to help pick out clothes for Asuka to make up for the misunderstanding. They exchange contact information.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;horror&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, Ashley and Riko visit Mitama&#039;s shop and meet Kokoro and Himika, who both have the same ribbon Ashley bought. Himika mentions a rumor about something strange at Kosho Academy, and Ashley decides to investigate after school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;horror&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following afternoon, Ashley and Riko look into the rumor at their school. Behind an old shrine, they encounter a girl speaking in an overlord persona. Ashley plays along, and after the camera is off, the girl, Rui, reflects that Ashley might be a kindred spirit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;horror&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On their way home, they encounter a strange entity that chants a rhyme about a Tangled Manor and a ritual involving scissors under the bed. Ashley decides to try it that night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;horror&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Ashley puts scissors under her bed and falls asleep. She wakes up in the Tangled Manor, where Riko soon joins her. A mysterious guide voice explains they must solve the problems of four girls behind the doors to leave. The first three are Himika, Mitama, and Kokoro, each dealing with family troubles involving the ribbon. Ashley and Riko help each of them, and each time, floating scissors cut the ribbon on the corresponding door.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;horror&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the final door, Ashley finds herself in her childhood home. Her father appears, and she confesses her regret about using her wish to change his mind about her studying abroad. He forgives her and gives her the headpats she always wanted, and the final ribbon is cut.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;horror&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next morning, Ashley wakes up in her apartment. The footage from the manor is blank except for gold stars, and her ribbon has disappeared. She and Riko try to find the store where she bought it, but it is gone. Ashley decides the adventure itself was valuable regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;horror&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsukasa expresses concern to Tsukuyo about Riko&#039;s involvement. Nemu appears and explains she created that Uwasa as an experiment to observe emotional energy, confirming it poses no danger. Word spreads about the ribbon and the dream angel who solves problems, catching the attention of Hinano, who happens to have one of the ribbons.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;horror&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Ashley Taylor introduces herself to the reader, explaining that she came from California to study in Japan because of her love for kawaii culture. She also introduces Kumanosuke, a teddy bear her father gave her that she takes everywhere. One day, Ashley visits her friend Riko Chiaki at the family&#039;s bento shop. Riko&#039;s mother mentions a used clothing event, and Ashley learns that her favorite fashion designer will be awarding an original piece as the contest grand prize. She excitedly invites Riko, but Riko is too young to attend and promises to cheer from afar.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kawaii&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Kamihama Kawaii Collection|Kamihama Kawaii Collection]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

As Ashley continues shopping, she runs into Karin Misono, and they bond over their shared love of an anime. Ashley assembles a themed outfit for Karin, and Karin later buys her a bracelet as thanks. Later, Ashley helps Rika Ayano and Emiri Kisaki with their outfits as well, buying matching scrunchies for herself, Riko, and Kumanosuke. With an hour left, Ashley assists Asuka Tatsuki and Sasara Minagi with their choices, but their shopping is interrupted when event management announces several thefts have occurred.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kawaii&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A man suddenly bumps into Ashley and runs off, and Ashley realizes Kumanosuke is gone. She remembers the bear carries traces of her magic from past battles, so the girls follow the trail to an abandoned area and find a Witch&#039;s labyrinth. The thief enters with Kumanosuke, and the girls transform and follow. Inside, they find stolen goods and victims, and Ashley reaches the center where the Witch is examining her bear. She unleashes her fury at the mistreatment of people&#039;s beloved items and destroys the Witch, saving Kumanosuke and the victims.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kawaii&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ashley thanks them and hurries to the contest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kawaii&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Mirror That Reflects My True Self===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sae goes about her daily life in Kamihama. She maintains a facade as the daughter of a well-off family while secretly working multiple jobs to support her kind but financially irresponsible parents, living by a philosophy of relying only on herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Mirror That Reflects My True Self|The Mirror That Reflects My True Self]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a routine adjustment with the Coordinator Mitama, Sae learns of a &amp;quot;False Magical Girl&amp;quot; rumor: someone is impersonating her. Mitama suggests Sae seek help from Emiri&#039;s counseling room, where Magical Girls gather. Though reluctant, Sae agrees the impostor threatens her carefully constructed image.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sae joins the counseling room girls to investigate. Emiri, Himika, Ria, and others provide testimonies of sightings, but inconsistencies emerge. After deducing the impostor can transform, Sae confronts and corners Rena, who reveals the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire investigation was an elaborate setup. Emiri and the others orchestrated the &amp;quot;False Magical Girl&amp;quot; to force Sae into relying on them, worried her refusal to ask for help would lead to disaster. Mitama coordinated the scheme. Though initially frustrated, Sae understands their concern and thanks them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sae returns home to find her siblings confused. Someone matching her description visited earlier, acting affectionate. Sae realizes a real impostor exists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A figure identical to Sae appears and delivers a prophecy: tomorrow, Ria will be attacked and Emiri will stabbed saving her.

* The next day, Sae investigates recent incidents, concluding a powerful Witch is responsible. Before she can act, Ria is attacked and Emiri stabbed, just as predicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Determined to prevent the next prophecy, Sae locates the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth alone. She is overwhelmed and nearly killed. Himika arrives to help, having found Sae&#039;s marked map, and is gravely injured in the rescue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sae receives a message that her family is attending a concert near the Witch. As she despairs, the counseling room girls arrive, led by the impostor who directed them there. They insist on fighting together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Magia Record Event - The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf|The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo bumps into Tsuruno on a day when school is out. Yachiyo has a job performing in a recorded drama with Sayuki that will be screened on Tanabata. Tsuruno recalls Yachiyo&#039;s poor performance in Karin&#039;s Halloween play and decides to join her to help. Yachiyo welcomes her.&lt;br /&gt;
** On set, Ria and Mayu are assisting with makeup and costumes. Yachiyo recognizes Ria, calls her by name, and praises her work, causing Ria to internally fangirl. Yachiyo grows anxious seeing so many Magical Girls gathered, recalling how a previous production with magical girls turned into a disaster. Tsuruno reassures her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wins over the production team with her exuberance. The play&#039;s co-star drops out, and the director asks Tsuruno to take the role. She eagerly accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a fairy tale about an ancient Mizuna legend. Two girls, Tsuyu and Chizuru, befriend each other despite their families&#039; rivalry and join forces to punish a selfish lord. Yachiyo plays Tsuyu, the ice queen with a heart of gold. Tsuruno plays Chizuru, the cheerful and impetuous girl. Sayuki plays the Magpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** During the script reading, everyone realizes Yachiyo&#039;s acting skills are still terrible. Yachiyo confides that she has turned down many acting jobs but accepted this one because the director begged her, even if she flops. She vows to see it through to expand her repertoire. Tsuruno promises to stay by her side.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria is in shock seeing her idol perform poorly. The filmmakers work around it by taking away Yachiyo&#039;s lines. Ria confronts Yachiyo and Tsuruno after the reading, declaring she will give Yachiyo an acting bootcamp. She does not want Yachiyo&#039;s performance to drag down her makeup work or her reputation as Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at home, Yachiyo reviews the script. Tsuruno explains the Mizuna fairy tale to the rest of Mikazuki. Felicia becomes interested when she learns there are fight scenes. Tsuruno explains that the day Tsuyu and Chizuru teamed up was Tanabata, and people in Kamihama entrust their wishes to them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next week or so, Yachiyo is drilled on acting with a professional coach and Ria&#039;s guidance. She eventually executes her lines perfectly and Ria is relieved.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sea is a Link Through Time /  The Call of the Open Sea===&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. There&#039;s two different versions at hand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Momoko and Mitama arrive at a resort near a village with a legend about a Diviner who eloped with a sailor and sank with stolen treasure. Mitama reveals they are actually there to hunt for this treasure based on a fairy tale Mikage heard. While exploring the private beach, they encounter Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao from the Tokime Clan, who stumbled there by accident. The group decides to spend the day together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|The Call of the Open Sea]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, they attend a festival in a nearby village that turns out to be a branch of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka learns the villagers consider Diviners a superstition. Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Big Sis, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Felicia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward. Kyubey finds a fuming Felicia, who decides to hire herself out as a mercenary to other magical girls for money or Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Felicia Mitsuki#Side Story|Felicia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia encounters Asuka and Sasara and defeats a witch for them, but they let her keep the Grief Seed and leave without paying, leaving her frustrated. Kako appears, concerned, but Felicia rejects her harshly and immediately regrets it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia helps defeat the witch and collapses from exhaustion, silently vowing to destroy every witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Touka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Hazuki and Nanaka team up with Ui to teach her how to defeat witches. Ui claims her first victory and receives a grief seed as a reward while Touka and Nemu tag along to offer congratulations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui suddenly realizes she loves the choir and wants to become a music teacher. She excitedly shares this revelation with her family and friends and resolves to work hard toward this future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art. The Amanes are relieved, and Tsukuyo suggests they play their flutes at the shrine on the way home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Both affirm that their only allies are each other, and they will always be together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends. Before Hibari&#039;s family moved away, she performed a charm ritual on Aru and promised they would meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message that Hibari is coming to visit Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After some confusion about directions, they reach the arcade where Hibari wins a crane game prize and helps Juri win one too. Hibari suddenly becomes pale and goes to get change, but she does not return. Kagome calls her and Hibari thanks her for being friends before saying goodbye, with an ambulance audible in the background.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome discovers a crowd under a Witch&#039;s Kiss heading toward a rooftop and sends emergency messages to every Magical Girl she knows. Himena&#039;s group arrives to help hold back the crowd, but other girls cannot come due to similar incidents elsewhere. Shizuka finally checks her phone and rushes over with the Tokime Clan just as someone threatens to ignite kerosene. They stop the crowd while Juri and Ao defeat the Witch with Livia&#039;s help. The Witch&#039;s Kiss is lifted and Hibari wakes up confused, with Livia covering that she collapsed from anemia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari admits she felt faint because seeing Kagome surrounded by friends made her happy but also made her feel left behind and alone. Kagome insists Hibari is wrong and promises to come running whenever Hibari is in trouble, asking them to stay best friends forever. Hibari reveals the two wishes she made when they parted came true: that she could speak her mind loudly and that Kagome would make lots of friends. They renew their promise to remain best friends forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari. They bonded over a shared love of &amp;quot;The Adventure of Mandragora.&amp;quot; Hibari gave Kagome a Mandragora plushie named Al-chan and asked to be friends. Kagome learned ventriloquism through Al-chan and grew more confident. The two became inseparable.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kagome&#039;s family moved due to her father&#039;s job transfer, Hibari put a charm on Al-chan with a secret wish. They promised to meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message from Hibari saying she will visit Kamihama. Kagome prepares to show her around.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives in Kamihama. Kagome is happy to see her. They go to the arcade. On the way, they run into Himena and her group. Kagome introduces Hibari. Later, Kagome helps Shizuka, who was lost and struggling with a foreigner. Hibari is impressed by how much Kagome has grown.&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the arcade. Hibari wins a plushie from a difficult crane game in one try. Juri, Yuna, and Ao appear. Juri asks Hibari to win a prize for her. Hibari succeeds. Juri offers a drink as thanks, but Hibari declines.&lt;br /&gt;

** A large group of people under Witch&#039;s Kisses begins heading toward a rooftop. Kagome coordinates with nearby Magical Girls for help. Himena, Shigure, Miyuri, and Yuna hold them off. Reinforcements from other Magical Girls are delayed due to incidents elsewhere. The situation grows dire.&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka finally checks her phone and sees Kagome&#039;s emergency messages. The Tokime Clan arrives and helps stop the crowd. Juri and Ao defeat the Witch. Livia appears to assist. Everyone is safe.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hibari wakes up. Livia explains she fainted due to anemia. Hibari admits she felt left behind seeing Kagome surrounded by friends. Kagome reassures Hibari that she is still immature and needs her friend. Hibari reveals her secret wishes from childhood: that Kagome would speak her mind and make many friends. They promise to remain best friends forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yuna&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna and Hikaru discuss school troubles. A girl complains about a PE teacher who measured her skirt length and made her late for class. Yuna promises to discuss the matter with the Student Council. Later, Yuna sighs about her recent troubles—adjusting school rules has led to protests from the Parents&#039; Association. She also has to deal with Ooba Juri. Hikaru pledges to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yunass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yuna Kureha#Side Story|Yuna&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* During training, Senpai notices Yuna and Hikaru are troubled. Yuna confesses her doubts about using force against Juri and about how she became Student Council President. She explains she made a wish to Kyubey to twist the minds of the Parents&#039; Association when they opposed her election. Senpai tells Yuna she is not wrong—she acted for others&#039; sake. Senpai advises her to take responsibility to the end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yunass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Yuna holds a meeting with the Parents&#039; Association and teachers to discuss school rule changes. The Parents&#039; Association opposes loosening rules on hair color and hairstyle. Yuna argues that freedom develops autonomy. Hikaru testifies that quitting her club to support Yuna&#039;s campaign improved her grades. The principal proposes a one-year trial.

* Day 4&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri struggled at school, frustrated by classmates who avoided conflict and teachers who enabled them. Her anger built up. She reflected on how she became a Magical Girl—she wished for a patient, stout heart to stay in school and not burden her father. The wish gave her patience but did not eliminate her anger; it built up as flames until she exploded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl Yuna introduced continued to spar with Juri. The girl revealed Juri had saved her from a Witch, and she admired Juri.

Juri reflected that the recent months had been the toughest. She came home late again. Her father asked about her absences. Juri said she was fighting for the future and would explain in a few months. She reflected on how much she and her father were alike, both unable to ignore past stains. She said she liked being with him, just the two of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Emiri asks what country life is like; Chiharu and Sunao give different answers from Shizuka since they are more familiar with modern living. They mention meeting only recently, surprising Emiri. Shizuka proudly explains they are bound by their duty to protect Japan, and Emiri says, “As long as you have no regrets, it’s okay.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After thinking it over, she searches for information with help from others, but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hinano explains that because the agreement fell through, local manufacturers like Kanoko’s father stayed in business, so there was little news. Chiharu and Sunao arrange a meeting at the factory and bring Shizuka. Kanoko’s father tells Shizuka his factory would have failed otherwise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Hagumu reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. After Walpurgisnacht, the organization dissolved, and many former Feathers joined the Kamihama Magia Union. Hagumu is uncertain, as she believes in Magical Girl Supremacy and cannot accept the Union&#039;s ideology of liberation without sacrifice. Shigure contacts her, asking to meet and talk. Shigure wants to convince Touka and Nemu to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Hagumu is conflicted—she cannot trust the Magius after being exploited, but she also cannot decide what to do. She asks for time to think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hagumu Azumi#Side Story|Hagumu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu meets Maria, a former Magius member who joined the Union. Maria notices Hagumu looks unwell and offers to listen. Hagumu explains her dilemma: she cannot agree with the Union&#039;s ideology, but she also cannot follow Shigure&#039;s plan. Maria suggests Hagumu ask other Magical Girls how they decided. Hagumu recalls her wish was made in haste to save a woman under a Witch&#039;s Kiss, and she regrets not choosing a better wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Moka why she joined the Union. Moka says she joined because she was invited and everyone is kind.

** Hagumu asks Yukika, a former Black Feather, why she declined the Union. Yukika says she did not want to drag others into trouble. Hagumu sees Yukika has strong convictions and follows them, unlike herself. Hagumu feels more discouraged.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches. Hagumu is moved but asks for more time to discuss it with Shigure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hagumu senses a Witch and goes to help. She sees Riko, an elementary schooler, defeating the Witch on her own.

She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Miyuri&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena, Alexandra, Hagumu, and Shigure watch as San stretches Miyuri. Miyuri&#039;s loud reactions draw attention. Himena asks about Miyuri&#039;s inline skating. Miyuri explains she started skating as a child because she was bad at running and her parents bought her skates. She fell in love with the feeling of cutting through the wind and quickly improved, eventually competing in freestyle competitions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Miyuri Yukari#Side Story|Miyuri&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s social anxiety worsened. She began experiencing panic attacks at competitions and could no longer compete. Her parents signed her up with the Hikarizuka Youth Association to help her interact with people. There, she met San for the first time. San invited her to dance practice. Miyuri fainted from overexcitement while watching San&#039;s legs. She realized she had a leg fetish and that it triggered her anxiety. She began avoiding San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s skating practice suffered. Her mother suggested she visit the Community Center. Miyuri avoided San again and went outside to practice skating alone at night. She felt free and happy while skating. San saw her dancing in the moonlight and was mesmerized. San decided she wanted to help Miyuri grow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish. San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri learned her new power shortened her experience of anxiety. She became more confident but still fainted easily. She fought Witches alone, often blacking out and going berserk. She encountered the Wings of the Magius while chasing a Witch. Her Doppel emerged. San appeared as the Instructor, defeated the Witch, and fended off the Doppel. San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training. Touka and Nemu suggested San should train Miyuri since she could still hear San&#039;s voice when unconscious. San agreed and became Miyuri&#039;s instructor. Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present) Back at the Community Center, Miyuri finishes her story. She does not regret her wish because it led her to become San&#039;s secret weapon and join Neo-Magius. Himena and the others leave, leaving San and Miyuri alone and Miyuri is mitten with San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Lavi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Lavi wakes Nayuta with the smell of natto. Mikage arrives urgently, asking to interview Lavi for her web newspaper assignment. Lavi agrees on the condition that her privacy is respected.

** Lavi goes shopping with Mikage and Nayuta. At the vegetable shop, the owner thanks Lavi for her gardening advice. A woman gives Lavi fresh eggs as thanks for organic vegetables from Lavi&#039;s grandfather. Mikage notices Lavi knows many housewives. Nayuta realizes she knows little about Lavi&#039;s past.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi explains she used to have a frail body as a child due to an unidentifiable condition. Her grandfather grew organic vegetables, which eased her symptoms. However, a severe storm destroyed the field&#039;s soil, making it impossible to grow vegetables. Lavi wished to restore the soil and became a Magical Girl. Her wish saved the field and gave hope to others. She admits her improved health was partly due to becoming a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage wants to make the newspaper more interesting, so Lavi offers to demonstrate &amp;quot;newsworthy&amp;quot; housework. She cooks lunch while Mikage records. Nayuta and Mikage try to help but ruin the dish with too much seasoning. They are distraught, but Lavi salvages it using cabbage and eggs. The meal is delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After making the newspaper, Nayuta and Mikage fall asleep. Lavi reflects on her past. She reveals that she never found joy in living despite her family&#039;s efforts. Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true. She asks for a little more time in her beloved daily life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Asahi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime Tribe holds a celebration to welcome Asahi. During introductions, Chiharu rambles excitedly about her favorite shows, and Asahi finds herself intrigued. When pressed to share more about herself, Asahi talks about hunting and the importance of minimizing suffering. That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun. Everyone apologizes, and they end the day with a shared dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Alexandra&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Re-analyze and structure this. It is a double-story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra dreams of her school days. She sees her past self smiling and realizes she is dreaming of the time she was in love. In the dream, she discusses love with Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu. Himena shares a romantic story about stargazing with Hiko. When Himena asks about their own love lives, Alexandra begins crying unexpectedly. She denies anything is wrong, but Himena apologizes for being insensitive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Alexandra Kurusu#Side Story|Alexandra&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, Alexandra&#039;s teacher appears—but he looks like Shigure. Other people appear as Himena and Hagumu. She recalls that her teacher was her math teacher and club advisor. He was strict and had a reputation for being scary. Alexandra remembers how she would complain about him with her classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After club activities, Alexandra wants to practice singing more. She goes to the rooftop and finds the teacher there. He allows her to practice under his supervision. They begin meeting regularly on the rooftop. She learns he does not smoke and is careful about his throat. He mentions that being an adult is not that great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A male classmate confesses to Alexandra. She almost accepts but pictures the teacher&#039;s face and realizes she loves someone else. She rejects the classmate. Later, it rains, and the teacher lends her his towel. She realizes she has fallen in love with him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra begins trying to appeal to the teacher daily. She asks about his relationship status and learns he is single. She indirectly describes him when talking about her type. She leaves a love letter in his shoe locker. He thinks it is a prank but recognizes her handwriting. She keeps trying to convey her feelings, but he never takes her seriously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra&#039;s behavior becomes obvious in class. She eagerly volunteers to answer questions and is overly happy when called on. Her classmates are amazed she can talk to the scary teacher so cheerfully. She learns everyone fears him. She asks why he became a teacher, and he admits his parents were teachers and he had wanted to be a singer but never pursued it. He wonders if there is any meaning to his life. Alexandra feels sorrow and wants him to be happy. She begins planning to improve his reputation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey appears and offers to grant any wish. Alexandra wants to capture the teacher&#039;s heart through her own efforts. She decides not to make a wish yet. She organizes a surprise birthday party for him with her classmates. He is genuinely happy and thanks her. He realizes she planned it. She tells him all the students respect him. He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra continues her jokes and attempts to get closer to the teacher. She jokes about marriage and asks for a date on the school trip. He unexpectedly agrees to go shopping with her for a few minutes. She hugs him in excitement. A classmate spots them on the rooftop. Rumors spread quickly. The principal calls the teacher in. He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra cannot wake up from the dream. She imagines the teacher scolding her for playing with his feelings. She decides she needs to apologize in real life. She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love. She tells him her feelings were not a deception—they were true love. She thanks him for a wonderful time and says she now only places her faith in Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Urara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara volunteers to do grocery shopping for Lavi. At the supermarket, she gets distracted by flash sales and buys beef, bean sprouts, and curry ingredients. She forgets Lavi&#039;s shopping list. Lavi forgives her but asks her to be more self-controlled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Urara Yume#Side Story|Urara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Urara announces she is returning to Yukuni to quit her talent agency. Lavi insists on accompanying her for safety due to the Magical Girl eradication faction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara and Lavi travel to Yukuni. Urara loses her wallet, but Lavi finds it. At the agency, Urara&#039;s manager asks her to coach a children&#039;s diabolo class as a final job. Urara accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the diabolo class, Urara teaches the class alone. Some children struggle to follow her teaching style. Lavi, Alexandra, and Asahi watch from a distance. During lunch, Urara admits she cannot explain techniques well. Lavi analyzes the wrist angles and timing, and the others offer to help. The class is a success.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Urara feels inadequate and misses her former partner, Kurara. She remembers Kurara was better at teaching. Lavi notices Urara is depressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Several days later, Urara returns to Yukuni to pick up her resignation papers. Lavi accompanies her. Urara admits she misses Kurara. Lavi warns her that reconciliation is unlikely, but Urara insists on trying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the agency, Urara confronts Kurara. Kurara reveals she always resented being compared to Urara&#039;s natural talent and felt like &amp;quot;Not-Urara.&amp;quot; She says breaking up the duo was for the best and asks Urara to stop involving herself. Urara is devastated. She returns to Kamihama and cries to Lavi, who comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Urara receives a message from her manager. A girl named Rei from the diabolo class wants more lessons. Urara agrees to meet her. Rei wants to learn the &amp;quot;Urara Special&amp;quot; to beat a prodigy her age. Urara remembers how she unknowingly hurt Kurara by copying her tricks too easily. She decides to coach Rei properly. Lavi offers to stay and help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara and Rei practice together. Lavi advises on timing. Rei successfully performs the trick. Urara tells her to remember the joy of performing, not just winning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rei competes and wins her first cup by performing the Urara Special, a trick even the prodigy could not do. Rei thanks Urara. Urara realizes that coaching helped her grow and face her regrets about Kurara. Rei asks Urara to be her permanent coach. Urara agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara returns to the Folklore base. She announces she will continue coaching diabolo classes. She wants to pass down her goal of making people smile through diabolo acts to the next generation. Lavi and the others support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nayuta&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta dreams of proving folkloric studies superior to Touka, but Lavi wakes her with obnoxious humming. Lavi scolds her for being a deep sleeper and rushes her to school in Takarazaki City, where Nayuta complains that Lavi acts like a stern stepmother rather than a kind maid her age.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In class, a self‑assessment exercise has Nayuta describe herself as quiet and diligent, but her peers call her stubborn, someone who hates losing and speaks her mind. She reluctantly accepts “stubborn” fits her persistent search for her father. The teacher introduces the Johari Window, explaining that without communication people understand themselves at most fifty percent and others only twenty‑five percent—a lesson that sticks with Nayuta.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Nayuta meets Iroha at the train station. Both are surprised the other remembers them. They discover they are the same grade and both hail from Takarazaki, and Iroha mentions she also searched for a lost loved one. Nayuta requests to see Yachiyo, apologizing for her bluntness. Iroha reassures her, noting they are both stubborn junior‑high girls from Takarazaki who came to Kamihama to find someone important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Yachiyo has no new information about Nayuta’s father. Tsuruno has Nayuta show a photo, but no one recognizes him. Felicia suggests Nayuta simply ask Touka, since she also grew up at Satomi Medical Center. Nayuta refuses, saying she cannot trust Touka, and apologizes for her stubbornness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Nayuta admits to Lavi she slept poorly because she cannot stop thinking about Touka. Mikage arrives, upset after a fight with Sudachi: Mikage complained about school, Sudachi said she envied Mikage for being able to attend, and they argued over whose position was harder.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home. Lavi approves of her standing her ground, and Nayuta realizes she and Lavi are more alike than she thought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory.

Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any.

* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They exchange a look and agree to treat her for one day. Mikage expresses her hope that someday she and Sudachi can play with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yozuru plays piano at a pharmacist’s request, impressing everyone, then meets Livia Medeiros and Sudachi Sawa. Sudachi exposes Mifuyu, who decides to introduce herself directly. Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yozuru replies that her mother trained her to face worse and declares she will live to the fullest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited again. She jokes about the visitor&#039;s persistence. Yozuru and Sudachi return from stocking up on essentials. Sudachi trips, and Yozuru hesitates to help. Livia instructs Yozuru to help Sudachi stand and dust her off. Yozuru apologizes and explains she is not equipped with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the trailer, Yozuru offers tea. Sudachi wants teacakes. Livia allows them to have some as a treat. Livia reflects that she needs to help the girls mature. Yozuru has lost compassion, while Sudachi needs to find her words. Livia believes they will complement each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is found sleeping and crying. Yozuru gives her a handkerchief. Livia says crying in sleep happens occasionally and is common among Coordinators. She thanks Sudachi for finding her dropped ring. Sudachi sulks when Livia refuses to give her sweets as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the ring is a treasure and a way of reprimanding herself. It is the reason she lives for &amp;quot;Mister Sun.&amp;quot; She says she may tell the full story another time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia shares her philosophy: no matter how awful life is, do not drift in a bad direction or relieve resentment with a curse. Magical Girls are born from hope and must overcome struggles with hope. She warns against corrupting purity and urges supporting those with pure hearts. She says she has said enough for now and will share the rest when she is ready. She asks the visitor to promise to live strong, face forward, and not end up like her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After the battle, Nanaka explains Lil&#039; Kyubey followed her into the labyrinth and returned a flower she dropped. Nanaka asks Ryo to tell Lil&#039; Kyubey to stop visiting unfriendly Magical Girls. Ryo realizes Lil&#039; Kyubey avoids girls with potential and is not soliciting anyone. She writes an article correcting her earlier suspicions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices.

* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Two days later, Sasara meets Kyubey and when he makes his offer, Sasara accepts without hesitation. As her father works for an emergency rescue squad, a job she admires, he gave her a favorite picture book about a knight who defeats a dragon to save a village. Sasara carries this book everywhere and has always wanted to be like her father and the knight. She wishes to become a knight who can protect and save people, asking for a stronger heart and stronger convictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Sasara has been hunting witches and saving their victims ever since making her contract.

Sasara realizes she wants someone to appreciate her and questions whether she really wanted to become a knight at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book.

When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform. She decided to lay the Soul Gem with its owner&#039;s body, and when she placed the gem in the girl&#039;s hands, the girl began breathing again. Later, Kyubey explained that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Kyubey asks if Nanaka will tell the others this secret, but she says she is waiting for the right moment. Nanaka then reflects that her true revenge target is actually Kyubey himself. Her power makes it clear he is her enemy, though she does not know all the details, and she is waiting for the right time to turn against him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Nanaka&#039;s team is still unable to find the witch. Akira reports meeting a magical girl mercenary. As the girls plan their next move, Nanaka muses about how she is gathering the determination of magical girls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuku enjoys time with her friends but feels disconnected from them and uncertain about her future. She finds comfort in Fūnī, a traveler who visits her family&#039;s cafe and shares his dream of finding a place to belong. When he invites her to search with him, she feels hopeful that she will not be alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* As a magical girl, Shizuku gains the power to connect spaces, allowing her to travel the world much like Fūnī once did. She continues her search, taking jobs from an unknown magical girl who pays her to use her power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day after a job, Yachiyo Nanami, Tsuruno Yui, and Iroha Tamaki approach her. Iroha invites Shizuku to their house, where she meets Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba. She stays for dinner and overnight, observing how the five girls live together like a family. Yachiyo invites her to stay as long as she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku realizes the other girls have found their place to belong, but she understands that her own place was with Fūnī. She cries as his last words finally make sense to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, Shizuku ends her arrangement with the unknown magical girl and returns to Yachiyo&#039;s house, hoping she can stay there. When she arrives, the house is empty, and she sees the personal items that mark each girl&#039;s place. Overhearing them return, she realizes their home is complete with five people and she does not belong there. She leaves quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and the others had prepared a welcome party with cake, but Shizuku never comes. Yachiyo senses that Shizuku might disappear if you look away and admits she should have seen this coming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku returns to the unknown magical girl and asks for more work. When asked why she came back, she says their picture was complete with five people and she must keep searching for where she belongs. She mentally apologizes to Yachiyo, knowing her actions will cause disaster but feeling unprepared to take responsibility. She wonders if she will ever find solid ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Akira wakes from a dream about being attacked by a familiar and finds Sasara Minagi nearby, who is out for a walk. Sasara offers to help Akira search for an old man&#039;s lost cane, recalling she saw children playing with a red cane, and the two head off together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akira Shinobu#Side Story|Akira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akira reflects on her upbringing in her father&#039;s karate dojo, where she learned to always help those in need and earned the neighborhood nickname &amp;quot;Troubleshooter&amp;quot; starting at age six.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira started middle school, a girl asked her to be a bodyguard against a stalker. The girl brought her to a park, confessed her love, and admitted to lying about the stalker. Akira politely rejected her, saying she didn&#039;t know much about that sort of thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Akira learned the girl had vanished and spent days searching for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day Akira found the barrier, she retraced the girl&#039;s steps in the park and stepped into a witch&#039;s labyrinth. She found the missing girl among blank-faced victims marked by a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Kyubey appeared, explained about witches and magical girls, and offered a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Familiars attacked and overwhelmed her despite her karate training. Injured, Akira wished to save all those people, transformed, and destroyed the familiars.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, none of the victims remembered the incident. Kyubey told Akira she needed to defeat the witch itself, which became her destiny as a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a magical girl, Akira patrolled Kamihama investigating witch-related incidents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day, she encountered a familiar without transforming and dropped her Soul Gem. Unable to retrieve it, she fled the barrier and collapsed unconscious outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira woke, Nanaka Tokiwa introduced herself as the magical girl who found her and picked up her Soul Gem. Nanaka advised withdrawing since Akira had collapsed, and Akira reluctantly agreed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Nanaka called asking for a favor. When they met again, Nanaka requested a duel, claiming Akira was weak and should quit hunting witches. Akira refused, citing her family&#039;s dojo, and they dueled. After some fighting, Nanaka ended the duel and apologized. She explained she wanted to test Akira&#039;s resolve and invited her to work together as a team. Akira relented after Nanaka claimed she was troubled and couldn&#039;t fight witches alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present day, Akira returns the cane to the old man and thanks Sasara. She reflects on meeting many magical girls since joining Nanaka and wonders how many exist in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kyubey observes Manaka cooking at her family&#039;s failing restaurant, Walnuts. She dreams of following her father&#039;s footsteps as a chef and believes that gaining admission to the prestigious St. Lillianna Academy will help her cook like a high class lady and restore the restaurant&#039;s popularity. Kyubey notes her poor grades make passing unlikely, but Manaka insists this is her father&#039;s last chance and resolves to study.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Manaka Kurumi#Side Story|Manaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Upon starting at Mizuna, Manaka visits the student council and offers to cook for an upcoming joint assembly with St. Lillian. The council dismisses her, explaining they already arranged a chef.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Walking home, Kyubey again offers a contract. Fed up, Manaka accepts but wishes not for the restaurant&#039;s success, but for a chance to spread their restaurant&#039;s flavors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the assembly, Manaka begins selling popular bentos at school and works as a visiting chef at St. Lillian every Thursday.

Meanwhile, her father receives invitations to tour as a chef and seems genuinely happy traveling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt; Manaka questions why she even bothered trying.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Manaka finishes selling bentos and keeps one for herself. Sana Futaba rushes in, upset at arriving too late.

Sana accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana promises to arrive earlier tomorrow, but Manaka reveals this may be her last day selling bentos. She admits she thinks she made her restaurant even more obscure, and if she is not helping it, she sees no point in cooking. Sana tearfully confesses that Manaka&#039;s bentos became the only thing she looked forward to during lonely lunch breaks. She insists Manaka should not quit because she is still making people happy. Seeing Sana smile gives Manaka new motivation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After contracts of: Kako, Manaka&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A documentary crew follows Ria Ami, whose natural beauty causes crowds to part, though she admits she has no basis for comparison when asked about her challenges. Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ria asks Manaka to be her bodyguard while buying the magazine featuring her article, wearing sunglasses to avoid being seen. Inside, she discovers her article occupies only one page, while Yachiyo has an eight-page spread.

** Sakuya, Yuna, and Hikaru discuss Sakuya&#039;s problem. Yuna deduces Sakuya is unsatisfied because she cannot compete meaningfully—using magic makes her times inhuman, so she feels her achievements are not truly hers. Sakuya admits track is everything to her; she used her wish to allow her team to compete after a violent incident got them suspended. Yuna suggests Sakuya might find accomplishment through coaching others, using her experience to help them grow. A Witch appears, and they fight.

** Nearby, Rika defeats a Witch and sees Ren about to jump. She saves her and asks why she wants to die. Ren cannot answer. She reflects on her childhood: she has always had trouble speaking and was teased and bullied for it. She attempted suicide once before but was scared of dying. Kyubey appeared and granted her wish to live.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explained that the bullying was caused by a Witch&#039;s influence—Witches hurt people, who then hurt others. Ren resolved to destroy Witches to create a better world. However, no matter how many Witches she defeated, people still acted cruelly. Kyubey told her that even destroying all Witches would not remove malice from people&#039;s hearts. This is why Ren wanted to die again, but she cannot explain any of this to Rika.&lt;br /&gt;

Emiri leaves, and Rika admits she never actually listened to Ren&#039;s problem.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika shares her own story: she wished for someone she loved to love her back, even though that person already liked someone else. She says she stole that love with a selfish wish and asks Ren if she thinks she is a horrible person. Ren manages to say she does not think so. Rika is relieved. She explains that to get others to open up, you must share the secrets that create distance.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren tries to tell her story but cannot get the words out and begins crying. Rika tells her not to force herself. She shows Ren all the gifts she received from the others and says that if all these people were thinking about her, she should continue to live. She says the world is filled with both bad and beautiful things, and the most painful thing is to have nothing. Ren says she will live. Rika leaves, and Ren thanks her.

She makes a disastrous meal incorporating everything she read, and Hazuki collapses after tasting it.

Meiyui proposes a first-come, first-served rule, but Hazuki points out it would lead to disputes over who arrived first. Ayame suggests settling conflicts with rock-paper-scissors, and though Meiyui argues there&#039;s no time for games in battle, Hazuki has them try it on the spot. When Ayame and Meiyui play, Meiyui uses a martial arts technique to change Ayame&#039;s hand, causing an argument between the groups.

* The next day, the girls reconvene at the restaurant. Hazuki proposes a new rule: anyone who uses magic against a Witch gains proportional rights to the Grief Seed. Both teams agree, and Hazuki suggests they gather data by hunting together. They split into mixed teams—Ayame and Kako form one; Hazuki, Akira, and Meiyui another and Konoha and Nanaka stand by to help as needed. After the successful joint hunt, Nanaka meets with Hazuki alone at the restaurant. She reveals she believes Hazuki manipulated the entire situation from the first meeting, noting that her team was impressed with Hazuki&#039;s group&#039;s teamwork but that she herself was more struck by Hazuki&#039;s modus operandi. Nanaka asks why Hazuki orchestrated everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Frustrated by losing to Felicia specifically, Ayame confronts her afterward, and despite Kako&#039;s attempts to mediate, the two insist on settling things through some competition. Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch.

* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead. The Witch targets Kokoro, and Masara injures herself by blocking the attack. The Witch escapes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro apologizes, but Masara claims she only did what was most logical, since the Witch could not have been defeated alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Masara keeps flashing back to the moment the Witch attacked Kokoro whenever she looks at her injury. The recurring memory bothers her, though she does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Kokoro offers to hunt the Witch again with Masara. Masara flashes back to the previous fight and insists she will hunt it alone. She tells Kokoro she is a burden and that she does not like getting hurt. Masara leaves Kokoro crying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara tells Mitama what happened. Mitama suggests Masara was actually trying to protect Kokoro. Masara is at a loss and wonders why being around Kokoro causes her to get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro blames herself for causing Masara trouble. She senses the same Witch and, respecting Masara&#039;s wish to hunt alone, decides to fight it by herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help. Masara agrees and tells Kokoro to call her next time. When Kokoro worries about causing trouble, Masara insists she is doing it for herself, because she does not like seeing Kokoro get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro asks if she can call Masara during lunch. Masara says she does not care either way. The two go to Mitama&#039;s place together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro notices the summer festival flyer and asks if Masara is interested. Masara admits she is a little interested. Mitama laughs and says they can look forward to the future when there is something or someone important. Kokoro and Masara are confused by her comment, which exasperates Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks to herself that Masara will become stronger now that she has something to protect. For the first time, Masara finds herself thinking about the future, though she does not know why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Konomi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi welcomes Kaede and Kako to the flower shop where she works part-time. She began working at Blossom because the florist once comforted her as a crying child with a single flower, and now Konomi does the same for other children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konomi Haruna#Side Story|Konomi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a customer leaves, Kaede and Kako help the florist carry supplies. The florist recently returned from the hospital, having survived a serious illness. Konomi remembers the day she found an ambulance outside and learned the shop might close. Desperate to help, she wished to Kyubey to cure the florist&#039;s illness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;!--The Flashback: Their First Meeting--&amp;gt;Kaede and Kako visit the shop for the first time. Kako searches for a specific flower, which Konomi identifies. During tea break, Kako explains she read about the flowers in a novel and wants to buy some for a friend&#039;s birthday. Kaede admits she has never given flowers but receiving them once felt wonderful. Konomi smiles and says she has an idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of the flower giveaway, Konomi, Kaede, and Kako take to the streets, suddenly appearing to hand bouquets to strangers before disappearing. A lottery winner, a despairing old man, and a boy who just got a girl&#039;s number all receive flowers. Later, the girls reunite. Kaede gave to ten people, Kako to thirteen. Konomi apologizes, but they agree to try again the day after tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Konomi, Kaede, and Kako realize they are the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi panics, fearing they have made people hate flowers. They notice a little girl crying because her mother refused to buy her a toy ring. Konomi offers a flower, but the girl wants a ring. Kako fashions the flower into a ring, and the girl calls it pretty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi realizes they have been giving flowers without understanding what recipients truly want. She decides to create something more meaningful. Inspired by Kaede&#039;s mention of birthday flowers and Kako&#039;s knowledge of flower language, they plan an arrangement that speaks to people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi and the girls create a birthday cake made of fifty flowers, with chocolate and candy inside. The cake incorporates birth flowers so greetings can be communicated through their language. They prepare a fair at the shop to showcase it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi shows the cake to the florist, who gives a muted reaction and announces her retirement, planning to leave Konomi the shop.

The three girls reveal they are Magical Girls, track down the Witch, and destroy it together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Hinano, Emiri, Ria, Manaka, Akira&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Rika is invited to a blind date by Emiri Kisaki, who brings along Hinano Miyako, a girl recently heartbroken. When the boys on the date mock Hinano&#039;s youthful appearance and odd way of speaking, Rika surprises her by defending them. Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her. Emiri and Rika quickly reassure Hinano, with Rika adding that Hinano is actually cool for having been able to confess her feelings—unlike Rika, who never confessed at all and watched her crush end up with someone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri then suggests Rika should make a wish, revealing that she and Hinano are magical girls who each received one wish in exchange for fighting monsters. Rika wonders if this is some kind of game. Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika muses that her wish was granted and she is now dating her crush, yet she feels deeply unhappy. When Kyubey asks what is wrong, she admits that every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens with unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mayu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mayu is a third-year student at Mizuna Academy who works part-time at the Kamihama Contemporary Art Museum. When she accidentally breaks the museum director&#039;s cup, her boss handles the situation calmly and kindly. After work, she meets her friend Sayuki Fumino outside the museum, and when Sayuki cannot stay, Mayu&#039;s boss offers to accompany her to an exhibit instead. They later go to a cafe, where Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi are also present. Ria grows increasingly annoyed overhearing Mayu&#039;s conversation with her boss, particularly when he hints at wanting to take her somewhere else and praises her cooking. At home that evening, Mayu cooks for her mother and asks if her father would have eaten her cooking, wondering what life would be like if he were still alive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayu Kozue#Side Story|Mayu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at school, Mayu talks with Sayuki about the sword exhibit. She then heads to work, and after her shift ends, her boss mentions his wife and child are away and invites her out to eat. Mayu declines. As she leaves, she forgets her phone, and her boss rushes to return it, asking again about dinner with growing intensity. Ria suddenly appears and bumps into him, yelling at them for flirting and demanding they sit for a lecture. Mayu&#039;s boss says she ruined it and leaves. Ria warns Mayu that her sweet, innocent air attracts older men and that if things continue, his family will fall apart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home that night, Mayu reflects on the day she learned of her father&#039;s death and on Ria&#039;s words. Kyubey appears and offers a contract. Thinking she does not want her boss&#039;s family to suffer the same hardship her family did, Mayu makes her wish: to stop his family from breaking apart. That night, she narrates that her boss transferred to a new job, and she is sure her wish was granted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later at school, Mayu finds boys have started hitting on her. Ria constantly steps in to drive them off. Before Ria can finish telling Mayu to shape up, they both sense a Witch. The girls reveal they are Magical Girls, and they track the Witch to the museum&#039;s special exhibit room. Sayuki suddenly appears and reveals she is also a Magical Girl. During the fight, Mayu notices the Witch only targets Ria. She asks Sayuki to lend her strength and launches a surprise attack, destroying the Witch. Afterward, Mayu thinks that to protect people she must think clearly before acting, and Ria admits Mayu was more reliable than usual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As a child, Sayuki attends an idol performance with her parents, but when the crowd becomes dangerously wild, she is almost squeezed to death, leaving her with lasting trauma.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayuki Fumino#Side Story|Sayuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Growing up in a happy family, Sayuki develops a deep interest in katanas that creates a gap between her and her classmates. Though they respect her passion, she feels lonely without someone to share it with. This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert. Sayuki believes speaking out is important no matter the outcome and swears to protect the kind people who have been kind to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka. Moka thanks Alina for saving her and says she has now made new friends, resolving to devote herself to exterminating witches and admitting she is only a little afraid of them now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They grew as close as sisters until Sis became engaged to marry someone far away. When Sis&#039;s father suddenly opposed the match despite approving it before, Riko wished upon Kyubey that everyone would give their blessings to the marriage. Her wish worked, and Sis moved away happily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Riko Chiaki#Side Story|Riko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She snaps, calls them liars who were never there for her like Sis was, and tells them she hates them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko goes Witch hunting to vent her stress but nearly dies against a stronger Witch. In that moment, despair crushes her and she wishes she had never made her wish so Sis would still be there. Tsukasa, a regular at her family&#039;s shop, finds her crying and listens as Riko confides everything about her feelings and what happened with Sis. Speaking from experience, Tsukasa tells her that separation is no excuse for broken contact and recommends she reach out to Sis directly.

When Riko asks her parents for permission, expecting them to refuse, they apologize sincerely and grant permission for the trip.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work. Maria suggests she spend a day with Shin to reconnect, and Shin’s mother agrees.

She watches as they struggle to connect: Shin wants to play in a fountain, but his mother cannot explain why he should not, and they end up standing awkwardly. Maria pretends to run into them and decides to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to the playground, where Maria encourages Shin to try a tightrope bridge. When he gets nervous, she prompts his mother to take his hand, and together they cross. After lunch, Shin’s mother gets a call from work asking her to come in on her day off. She agrees, and Shin looks heartbroken. Maria offers to watch Shin until dark, and his mother gratefully accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria takes Shin to various places, and he sadly remarks that his mother is too busy for him. Understanding his loneliness, Maria vows to make the day special. At the aquarium she convinces him to see a show he ends up loving. As evening falls, they stop for takoyaki, and Maria explains that his mother tells him not to eat while walking for good reasons. Shin finally understands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shin’s mother appears, explaining work no longer needs her. She admits she has trouble expressing herself, but Shin overhears and hugs her. They both confess they thought the other did not love them. Maria shares that she was often lonely as a child but still loved her parents, and she tells Shin’s mother she does not need to be perfect. Shin shows his mother the souvenir and the last piece of takoyaki he saved for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As darkness falls, Maria walks home alone. She reflects on whether she could ever be a good mother, remembering Kyubey’s revelation that her Soul Gem is her actual soul and her body is merely a vessel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mel&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mel stays home after her reading warns of lethal danger, but Kanagi dismisses her concerns and drags her to school anyway. On the way, a Witch targets only Mel before escaping, and a possessed car then attempts to run her down. She flees west into the Mizuno region, where Yachiyo saves her. Despite Kanagi&#039;s warnings about discrimination from the West, Yachiyo&#039;s kindness puts her at ease, and Mel accepts her invitation to stay. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she requests to join Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kanagi gives permission. From that day, Mel bonds with Mifuyu, Tsuruno, and Momoko as part of her new team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One other day, Mel arrives excitedly with entirely positive readings and offers to read the team&#039;s fortunes. Despite Yachiyo&#039;s skepticism, Mel coaxes her into a session predicting a career breakthrough.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Yachiyo announces with disbelief that she was chosen for a nationwide magazine feature on Kamihama&#039;s cafes. Mifuyu and Momoko then receive positive readings about a matchmaking and exam results.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes. Afterward they visit Mitama, who suggests they train in Endless Mirrors if they plan to remain independent rather than join Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Temari and Mikura commute to school exhausted. Temari stayed up testing a new metal pen, and Mikura correctly guesses she is in modern literature mode.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Temari is distracted thinking about Witch strategies while Mikura worries about Seira, who had fallen asleep in class from exhaustion. Seira joins them, and Temari suggests they create their own space to escape the stress of magical girl life. Seira proposes forming a school club where they can pursue their hobbies freely, and they agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Seira secures an empty classroom as a provisional club room under the name Historical Research Club. On paper they study history, but in reality it becomes their oasis for reading, watching films, and relaxing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the girls are enjoying their club activities, yet Temari still feels unsettled about not knowing her magic. Mikura reflects that they have been following Temari’s suggestions lately—staying independent, creating the club—but says she will mention it if she notices anything. When Mikura asks what Temari is reading, Temari replies she is still on the same author, and Mikura calls her as unpredictable as ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hotori&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Last part is after the tea drinking moon party&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hotori and her twin Rion prepare for a school camping trip. Hotori gets distracted watching her favorite sentai show, Dragoon Red, and Rion teases her for still liking children’s fantasy. Hotori wants to bring her notebook of heroic quotes, but Rion tells her not to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At school, Rion tries to stay with Hotori and gets scolded by the teacher. Hotori is relieved to have time away from her sister. Her classmates notice her notebook and encourage her to become who she wants to be.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At camp, Hotori’s group hikes through the forest. She is frightened by insects, and when Rion appears and drives her friends away, Hotori ends up scolded for letting her sister interfere. Reading quotes from her heroes, she manages to calm herself and finishes the hike feeling she has changed a little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During archery, Hotori struggles to pull the bowstring but remembers Dragoon Red’s words about perseverance and manages to shoot. Rion performs better, but Hotori’s friends cheer her up. Rion later mentions the night’s test of courage, and though Hotori is scared, she refuses to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the test, Hotori freezes after a scare. Rion mocks her and escorts her to the finish line. There Hotori realizes she left her notebook behind; Rion goes back to retrieve it but does not return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotori lies to the teachers and searches the forest. She finds Kyubey, who offers her a contract: any wish in exchange for becoming a magical girl who fights witches. When she finds Rion acting strangely, Kyubey explains Rion has a witch’s kiss. Rion enters a witch’s barrier, and Hotori follows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Terrified but thinking of Dragoon Red’s words, Hotori makes her wish: “I wish to be a hero strong enough to protect Rion.” She defeats the witch alone, saves Rion, and is relieved when her sister wakes up safe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Months later, Hotori now fights witches with a team. During one battle she freezes and is saved by Rion and Yukika Nanase. Yukika asks about Hotori’s notebook, and Hotori explains she wants to be brave like the sentai heroes. Yukika privately knows the truth from another timeline: the twins’ memories were altered by Rion’s wish, and Hotori’s original wish may have been to become strong enough to protect Rion. Hotori, unaware, continues striving to be a hero.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Meguru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Meguru joins the Broadcasting Club, but her senpais later announce it will close due to low membership. Though she feigns indifference, she secretly wants the club to remain so she can pursue her dream of becoming a popular MC. When Kyubey appears, she wishes to become a popular mistress of ceremonies in exchange for becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After her wish, she discovers she can narrate events with unusual power, accidentally motivating classmates. She is drawn into a witch’s labyrinth and rescued by Momoko Togame, who takes her to Mitama Yakumo. Momoko suspects Meguru’s magic strengthened the witch. Mitama asks Meguru to act as MC for an event in the Mirror Witch’s barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the barrier, Meguru narrates battles for Tsuruno Yui, Meiyui Chun, and Akira Shinobu, but her words also empower their mirror copies. After struggling to control her magic, she successfully motivates the originals to win. The group agrees she has a gift for motivating others, though they must flee when more copies appear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Meguru’s senpais decide to promote her involvement as a club activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Later, Kyubey asks why she wanted to be an MC. Meguru explains she admired many fields but never excelled until now, and she thanks him. She learns she only gets one wish, but she is confident she will meet amazing people on her own.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Eternal Sakura begins as a story Iroha tells to Ui, Touka, and Nemu at the hospital—a tale of a girl waiting by a sakura tree to reunite with her three friends. Nemu loves it so much she writes it down, naming it the Eternal Sakura of Promises. That is Sakura&#039;s beginning, though she is only words in a notebook.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Nemu moves the Eternal Sakura and many other stories into a different book, rewriting them as Rumors and breathing her own lifeforce into them. They become real beings, freed but also bound to their rumors. Time passes, and the Eternal Sakura watches as other Rumors are destroyed. She alone keeps her physical form. When Walpurgisnacht attacks and the crisis ends, Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu finally come to her meadow, reunited at last. The sakura tree bursts into bloom. All the Rumors now live together in Nemu&#039;s book, with the Eternal Sakura as the only one who can venture outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu eventually summons the Eternal Sakura and offers to rewrite her rumor so she can leave the meadow. Touka has prepared an internet server for her to download information needed to live among humans. In exchange, they will ask her for a favor later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime after the Dreaming Cherry Blossom event, the Eternal Sakura arrives at Mikazuki Villa as Sakurako Hiiragi, a Rumor given human form. Touka asks Iroha to care for her for three days so she can learn through practice. Yachiyo agrees after Ui begs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On her first day, Sakurako cooks lunch that everyone declares the best they have ever tried. That night, she scores perfectly on homework and offers to tutor Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The following day, they go to the mall. At the arcade, a man knocks Ui down and blames her. Sakurako hits him, demanding an apology, and when he refuses she hits him again, declaring she will end all enemies of Ui. Iroha stops her and they return home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells Sakurako she is glad she defended Ui but should not hurt others. Sakurako transforms into her battle form, showing the power she wields to protect the four girls. Iroha asks her to promise not to use it except against Witches or real danger. Sakurako promises.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Mifuyu arrives with Touka and Nemu to pick her up. They have arranged for her to attend Minagi Freedom School, where she will not know anyone. Yachiyo agrees it is best for her to keep some distance from Iroha and Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At her new school, Sakurako meets Hinano Miyako, who warns her not to mention being a Rumor in class. During introductions, Sakurako announces she is here to learn about human society, is technically zero years old, and has been assigned an age to match her appearance. The students think she is weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Between classes, Hinano checks on her. Sakurako finds school boring and misses Iroha. Hinano suggests making friends would make school more fun, but Sakurako does not understand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During class, Sakurako announces she is bored and leaves to see Iroha. Ryo Midori from the school newspaper photographs her, but Sakurako runs off. She finds Iroha, who is angry she cut class. Iroha explains her actions cause problems for many people, including Touka. Sakurako promises to attend tomorrow, though she still finds school boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Akari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari wakes Hotaru after school. Hotaru notices Akari&#039;s Puchi-Usa keychain, which Haruto drew for her when she was young. Akari decides to tell Hotaru about her wish and how she became a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akari Mai#Side Story|Akari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari explains that she has always loved Haruto, but he treats her only as a little sister. When Haruto entered high school, he stopped walking with her due to club activities. Akari heard a rumor that Haruto was dating his club manager. Distressed, she wished to Kyubey to become 16 years old like Mimiko-chan, the transforming heroine she admired.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her wish only allowed her to transform temporarily. She turned back into an elementary schooler afterward. Akari regretted not wishing for everyone to perceive her as 16 from the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Akari patrolled for Witches and found Haruto under a Witch&#039;s Kiss. She saved him in her 16-year-old form. Haruto did not recognize her and thanked her as a stranger. He gave her his jacket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari returned Haruto&#039;s jacket, claiming a stranger asked her to return it. Haruto admitted he had fallen in love with the girl who saved him—not realizing it was Akari.

* The bunny Nene died. Akari cried. Haruto came to give her a new Puchi-Usa keychain but hid it when he saw her crying. He comforted her and told her it was okay to cry. Akari loved his kindness and subtle thoughtfulness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari ran into Haruto while patrolling. Haruto was looking for the 16-year-old girl. Akari became jealous and badmouthed her 16-year-old self, calling her suspicious and a liar. Haruto got angry at Akari for speaking ill of someone she did not know. Akari ran away, feeling she was not worthy of him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari hid in an alley. Haruto came looking for her. A Witch appeared, and Haruto was under another Witch&#039;s Kiss. Hotaru appeared and caught Haruto with a pillow before he could jump. Hotaru and Akari defeated the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotaru revealed she had been watching over Akari since the bunny hutch. She told Akari that her kindness was one of her good points. Akari realized the 16-year-old version Haruto fell for was still a part of her. Hotaru encouraged her to apologize properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari, still in her 16-year-old form, lied to Haruto that she had taken Akari under her protection. Haruto was relieved and admitted he was too harsh with Akari. He said he did not want her to become someone who speaks ill of others. Akari apologized to Haruto in person. Haruto forgave her and said he was proud of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari resolved to become a wonderful adult on her own, without magic, and capture Haruto&#039;s heart when she was truly 16. She thanked Hotaru for giving her the push to apologize but Hotaru fell asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ryoko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryoko’s story begins at Suitoku Temple, the Tokime Tribe’s base, which was slated for demolition while officials hid the harm it would cause.

Raised by her grandfather in a strict Buddhist temple, she is told her mother was a hero who saved the country yet died and left her behind. Ryoko grows to resent heroism, viewing it as empty fame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Her cynicism is tested when Moka Megumi tries to save a drowning kitten despite being unable to swim. Ryoko rescues her and asks why; Moka says she simply cannot stand someone dying on her watch.

===Kush&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama’s adjuster shop, Karin Misono finds Kush sleeping inside the tent. Mitama explains that Kush cannot stay awake during the day due to her wish: “I just want the morning to never come.” Kush reveals she made her wish because she longed to live in a fantasy world like the one in her favorite book, &#039;Good‑Bye Fable,&#039; and her magical girl outfit resembles the story’s protagonist. Ui Tamaki and Little Kyubey arrive, and Kush briefly attacks Little Kyubey, mistaking him for the Kyubey she despises. Over tea, Mitama notices Kush’s long canine teeth stained red and later receives a message from her sister Mikage about a rumor of a vampire girl in the Hokuyo Mountains. Karin and Kush agree to investigate together, but Kush runs off to her night class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, the two meet up with Riko Chiaki and Ashley Taylor, who are making a horror video about the same rumor. The group searches the mountains at night. Kush can see in the dark and leads them, but she is still sleepy. They find a discarded camera containing a video of Rui Mizuki dropping it and disappearing. When a mysterious sound frightens the others, they accidentally leave Kush behind. Left alone, Kush eats cherry tomatoes and senses a witch. The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one. They also learn that Rui is Kush’s friend; she had filmed Kush entering the barrier before being caught by it. The group later glimpses a white‑haired silhouette and flees, thinking a real vampire might exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley posts a video warning others to stay away from the mountains. At Mitama’s shop, Ui hears about the incident and learns the vampire was just a misunderstanding.

===Homura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Homura Akemi in Magia Record#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is flooded with more memories of her other self preparing for Walpurgisnacht with allies. She wonders if there might be a real possibility for salvation in this timeline, where no one has to be sacrificed. However, she believes it has nothing to do with her. She breaks out of the labyrinth and the dream ends. Kyubey asks if she was curious about what happened to her other self. Homura says it does not matter; she believes in Madoka&#039;s words that her efforts will not be in vain. A new universe is about to be born, and Homura must protect it for Madoka&#039;s sake. Kyubey states they will both forget Madoka, but Homura is determined to never forget her.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new universe where Witches do not exist, Kyoko is surprised to find Sayaka has disappeared. Mami explains the Law of Cycles causes Magical Girls to disappear when they lose hope. Homura cries as she remembers Madoka, but neither Mami nor Kyoko know who Madoka is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka spend the day together in Kamihama, enjoying each other’s company until they encounter Ria Ami, a model and magical girl who has already defeated the witch they were tracking. Ria invites them to tea and later takes them to the fashion district, where she notices that Homura’s attention never leaves Madoka. Admitting her jealousy, Ria says she wishes someone would look at her the same way, and Homura replies that she will protect Madoka. After Ria departs, Homura thinks that even if Madoka does not realize how cool she is, she will still save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Homura steals weapons from a group called the Soukaihou using her time stop, but she is caught afterward by Meiyui Chun, a magical girl affiliated with the group. Instead of punishing her, Meiyui thanks her for taking weapons that belonged to troublemakers and invites Homura to share mapo tofu. Over the meal, Meiyui learns Homura fights to protect someone precious to her and says she understands, offering her support and suggesting the spicy dish whenever the burden becomes too painful to bear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Homura is practicing her shooting alone when Natsuki Utsuho, a magical girl who cheers for others, offers to encourage her. Natsuki deduces Homura’s time stop ability and gives advice that significantly improves her aim. When Natsuki suggests Homura ask Mami to coach her, Homura calls, and Mami arrives within an hour. Mami uses her ribbons to move within Homura’s time stop during a sparring match, praising her rapid progress afterward. Homura agrees to return to Mitakihara with Mami, reflecting that she will keep moving forward to become a magical girl capable of protecting Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On a Saturday, Sayaka arrives in Kamihama City to go shopping with Kyosuke Kamijou, though she insists it is not a date. When she hears a scream, she runs toward it and discovers Hinano Miyako at an empty elementary school. Hinano explains she was bumped on the head while setting up the chemistry lab, and Sayaka decides to help investigate. They find the culprit was a baseball that flew through the window from the baseball club practicing outside. Hinano returns the ball to a child and gives Sayaka a perfume she made, wishing her good luck on her date despite Sayaka&#039;s protests.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After realizing Sayaka is not Hinano, Emiri offers to coordinate her wardrobe, claiming to be the &amp;quot;Cutest in the World.&amp;quot; Sayaka learns Emiri is also a magical girl but remains unsatisfied with the outfit suggestions, explaining the person she likes does not care about appearances. Emiri takes her to the top of a tower, where they view the city at night. Sayaka thanks her before heading to the train station, reflecting that her love is supported by the magical girls of Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the outing with Kyosuke arrives. After buying a CD, Kyosuke messages that his train is delayed. Sayaka fights a Witch she senses and meets Kokoro Awane, defeating it together. With time to spare, Kokoro invites her for tea. Sayaka shares that she became a magical girl to heal someone she loves, and Kokoro reveals she wished to bring her family together. Though problems remain, Kokoro believes she can unite them through her own power, and Sayaka finds strength in her words. When Kyosuke is about to arrive, Kokoro encourages her, and Sayaka runs to the station, feeling it will be a good day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On a later day, Kyoko meets Manaka Kurumi, who offers to cook for her after noticing her unhealthy eating habits. Manaka brings Kyoko to her father&#039;s restaurant and makes omelet rice.

===Ultimate&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart. She also finds Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, who were never supposed to become magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Panicking because she cannot prevent magical girls from becoming witches in this universe, Madoka investigates. She discovers the source blocking her intervention originated when the Holy Quintet first visited Kamihama, and she observes how Touka and Nemu—fated to die in every other universe—are alive and plotting with the Magius to lure Walpurgis Night to hatch Eve. Madoka reflects that their plan, if successful, would achieve what she herself accomplished. Unsure whether to intervene, she decides to investigate further and chooses Iroha as her next focal point, since this is the only universe where Iroha contracted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka observes Iroha’s past and finds the singular difference: on a normal day, Iroha took her usual shortcut but accidentally kicked a small pebble, nearly making her late. This tiny butterfly effect led to Iroha contracting and Ui, Nemu, and Touka surviving, derailing the universe’s fate. Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka decides not to interfere, fearing a clash that could destroy the universe. However, she laments that she may have no choice but to trample Iroha’s wish if this universe, now a singularity, threatens the stability of all other universes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* After contracting with Kyubey, Oriko foresees Madoka becoming Kriemhild Gretchen and ending the world. To prevent this, she begins manipulating events and people around her. She uses Yuma Chitose as a distraction to keep Kyubey away from Madoka, then later convinces Yuma to contract by claiming Kyoko is in danger. Oriko also recruits Kirika Kure as her pawn. When Kirika kills another magical girl, Oriko decides to use the murders to further distract Kyubey from Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Oriko Mikuni in Magia Record#Side Story|Oriko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Oriko has another vision revealing that Madoka is not in Mitakihara but somewhere else entirely. She witnesses a spatial distortion connecting Mitakihara to Kamihama City and begins to suspect Kamihama might hold the key to changing the future. Oriko sends Kirika to Kamihama under the pretense of buying tea, instructing her to gather information from Mami and other magical girls there. She then takes Yuma to Kamihama herself, leaving her inside a witch barrier knowing Kyoko will come to rescue her. While exploring Kamihama for answers, Oriko nearly dies inside a powerful witch barrier and realizes she needs Kirika&#039;s help to continue. Kirika eventually returns home safely, reporting that Mami and Kyoko are also investigating Kamihama and that the city has an unusually high number of witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kyoko accidentally destroys her shopping bag, enraging Kirika. Shizuku Hozumi intervenes, allowing Mami and Kyoko to escape through a portal. Kirika returns home with supermarket tea, admitting she learned nothing.

Eventually, Asuka, Sasara, Hinano, and Emiri help her, and the shop is cleaned perfectly. She gets the idea of holding a party from Momoko, Kaede, and Rena, who also plan to do something for Mitama as thanks.&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Kanagi and Konomi visit Mitama with already-made decorations. Some are extras from Kanagi&#039;s maid cafe, and Konomi is experienced with making such decorations from her flower shop. The three of them make many beautiful decorations and set them up at the store.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitama realizes she has no plans for holding a party and no one is visiting. Just as she is feeling lost, the Mikazuki Villa team visits, bringing a beautiful kimono and New Year&#039;s food. They say it is their way to thank Mitama for her help. With Yachiyo&#039;s help, Mitama puts on the kimono and is touched by their actions. Momoko, Kaede, Rena, Asuka, and Sasara also visit. The kimono was chosen by everyone for Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;

Shizuka reveals she does not have a haregi but has a special outfit for a New Year&#039;s ceremony. She offers to show everyone.&lt;br /&gt;
* A package arrives with Shizuka&#039;s ceremonial outfit. She tries it on but discovers it has become highwater—too short to properly cover her. The outfit also has moth holes.

** Shizuka finds Kanoko at school with Sana, Tsumugi, and Manaka. Kanoko agrees to help. At Manaka&#039;s restaurant, they discuss design options.

Iroha and Ui feel anxious about the upcoming school semester but realize they have forgotten something important. Yachiyo suggests it might be cleaning. Iroha and Ui remember they need to clean their house in Takarazaki. The group agrees to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha &amp;amp; Ui (Shrine Maiden)#Side Story|Iroha &amp;amp; Ui&#039;s Shrine Maiden Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the house, they clean together. Felicia finds a photo album. Everyone looks through pictures of Iroha and Ui as children. They see photos from Ui&#039;s birthday party at the hospital, a Christmas when they had a flour snowball fight, and other memories. The girls tease Iroha for being a dork, and Iroha gets embarrassed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After cleaning, they take a break. Ui wants to have a party at the house, which has always been a dream of hers since she was hospitalized for so long. Iroha agrees. They buy cakes and cookies from a nearby pastry shop. Back at the house, they hold a small party. Yachiyo is worried about the cost, but Iroha says she and Ui paid with their allowance.

As evening falls, they return to Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Ui receive a New Year&#039;s card from their parents overseas. They want to send something back but cannot decide how. Tsuruno and Felicia are watching a comedy show about an elderly couple sending video messages to their children. This gives Iroha and Ui the idea to record a video message for their parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They film their first video, but Yachiyo says it is too ordinary. Sana suggests making it more unique. Ui wants to introduce everyone at Mikazuki Villa to their parents. Iroha agrees. They try filming again with a script, but the takes go poorly—Yachiyo overthinks her cooking scene, Felicia struggles to tutor Ui, and Tsuruno is late. Ui suggests they abandon the script and just be themselves. They record a video of their daily life together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* After Mitakihara City’s school closing ceremony, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura walk out together. Sayaka is glad the term is over, Madoka is excited, and Homura admits she will feel lonely without seeing them every day. Sayaka ruffles her hair and says they can still meet over break, whether hunting witches or hanging out. Madoka suggests visiting Mizuna Shrine in Kamihama for New Year’s to draw “Ultimate Fortunes.” Sayaka has other plans but encourages them to go together. After she leaves, Madoka asks Homura if she knows how to put on formal wear. Homura does not, so Madoka invites her to a kimono‑dressing class she found, saying she wanted the two of them to dress up with Sayaka but lacked the courage to go alone. Homura agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class, the instructor dresses them first; Madoka thinks Homura looks beautiful, and Homura calls Madoka cute. When the actual lesson begins, Madoka struggles badly and trips, while Homura learns quickly enough that the instructor says she will have no trouble. Madoka takes a break outside, feeling useless. Sayaka happens by and asks why she wanted to dress up in the first place - to have fun. Sayaka tells her not to overthink; even if she makes mistakes, she will still have the memories. Encouraged, Madoka returns and finally manages to dress herself after another trip.&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year’s Day, both have their formal wear put on at a store. They joke that the class was interesting but not very useful for the real occasion. They take lots of pictures to show Sayaka, then wish each other a happy new year and go to Mizuna Shrine to draw fortunes. Madoka hopes everyone has a lucky year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka find themselves trapped in a strange dream—a life-sized board game set across Kamihama City. They must reach the goal by following the game&#039;s rules. There are no Familiars or attempts to harm them, so Homura suspects it is accidental mischief rather than a trap. They roll dice to move between squares and complete missions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Kimono)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;First Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They arrive at a shopping center. The mission is to deliver lost items from the New Year&#039;s sale to the Information Desk. They meet Aimi, who found a plain notebook with no name. Aimi worries it is someone&#039;s secret fantasy diary and does not want to read it. They take it to the Information Desk and complete the mission. Aimi mentions she is shopping for materials to knit a scarf or gloves for a boy named Hayato.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** They roll again and move to a new square. The mission is to reunite two sisters who failed to meet. They find Tsukasa waiting for her twin Tsukuyo. Tsukuyo forgot her phone and cannot remember the meeting spot. Madoka and Homura offer to find Tsukuyo. They find her, but Tsukasa has wandered off while waiting. The sisters fail to meet, and Homura and Madoka lose three turns. They eventually reach the Mizuna Shrine goal, but the game says they have not met the goal conditions and sends them back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Second Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They are back at the beginning, wearing their kimonos. They see their past selves from the first loop. The same mission appears—reunite the twins. They meet Tsukasa again, who remembers them from before and is confused by their kimono change. Madoka tells Tsukasa where Tsukuyo is, but Tsukasa runs off before Madoka can explain she should wait. They try to find Tsukasa but fail. The mission fails again, and they are sent back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Third Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes: buy a lucky bag costing one million Magica. They search for a store and take a break at a cafe. They see Ria being interviewed and overhear a boy named Hayato saying he needs a warmer scarf. They find Kokoro and Masara, who lead them to a stationery lucky bag. Kokoro mentions Tsukasa is still looking for Tsukuyo. Madoka wants to help Tsukasa, and Homura agrees. They find Tsukuyo, who has been wandering and dropped something important. They learn Tsukuyo dropped her exchange diary with Tsukasa—the same notebook Aimi found. The mission completes, but they are sent back to the start again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes again: help a child who lost something. They find Tsukuyo waiting. She dropped the exchange diary. Homura and Madoka take her to the Information Desk to reclaim it. Madoka remembers Tsukasa was last seen near a specific area. They wait there and finally reunite the twins. They also tell Aimi that Hayato wants a warm scarf. Everyone ends up happy. Homura and Madoka reach the goal without regrets. Homura reflects that she does not want the dream to last longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka learns the meaning of &amp;quot;When winter comes, spring isn&#039;t far behind&amp;quot; at the end of December. Just before New Year&#039;s Eve, Madoka asks if anyone has plans for the holiday. Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At the Pink Tapir station store, a clerk informs them the sale has moved to a new outlet location and gives them a map. On the way, a delivery truck carrying the chocolate coins is possessed by a Witch&#039;s Kiss and goes on a rampage. Nagisa and Kyoko chase it, jump onto the truck, and enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Nagisa uses her forbidden technique to defeat the Witch. The truck and other vehicles are unharmed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the outlet store and buy the chocolate coins. Nagisa reflects on her memory of eating Pink Tapir chocolate coins for the first time at a hospital charity event when her mother was sick. She wonders if this universe&#039;s Nagisa would have had the same experience. She and Kyoko hurry to Mami&#039;s chocolate party. Kyoko reveals she bought a chocolate cake from Sugar Plum for everyone. Nagisa shares her pink chocolate coins. Mami is happy they are getting along. The next day, the chocolate hunt continues. At the outlet store, Ms. Saotome buys chocolate coins for a hospital charity event, continuing the tradition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They have more fun than they expected, but Tsukuyo suffers a heat stroke and is cared for by the group after Tsukasa panics. When Tsukasa tries to repay the favor, Yachiyo jokes that she should quit the Wings of Magius, then smiles when Tsukasa refuses as expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

* On the day of the Tanabata Festival, Yachiyo and Tsuruno are performing lead roles in a special drama for the Mizuna Tanabata Festival. They are scheduled to give an introductory speech and do promo work in costume. Iroha and the others ask to join them. Yachiyo agrees. They will have free time before the screening to look around the stalls together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno brings a video camera to film a home video for Team Mikazuki. She interviews everyone throughout the day. Yachiyo gives everyone an allowance for the festival. Felicia and Sana check out the food stalls. Iroha and Ui look at the decorations. Yachiyo samples bamboo dumplings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui finds a lost wishing paper and turns it in. She wants to write her own wish but hesitates, not wanting to bring up wishes around other Magical Girls. Yachiyo notices and encourages her. Ui gets wishing paper for everyone.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group makes bamboo boats and floats them down the canal. Sana cuts her finger on a bamboo leaf. Yachiyo notices and helps her. Sana is touched by Yachiyo&#039;s kindness. Felicia says she feels warm on the inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the camera that Yachiyo gives her a feeling of security. Ui says she wants to be someone like Yachiyo someday. Tsuruno records her own message, calling Yachiyo dense but incredibly kind, and says she loves her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The screening begins. Afterward, Yachiyo and Tsuruno go to greet the production staff. The others return to Mikazuki Villa to prepare a surprise.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yachiyo and Tsuruno return home to find the lights off. Everyone surprises them with a handmade Milky Way made of paper stars. They call it the Mikazuki Way. They also show the edited home video featuring everyone&#039;s messages of gratitude. Yachiyo is moved to tears. She thanks them all, saying she is so happy they are always with her. She says this is the best present ever. Tsuruno turns the stars back on and they enjoy their very own Milky Way. Yachiyo says she never expected her tears would be those of joy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede, Rena, and Momoko have picked out new swimsuits. Momoko could not buy one because she spent her allowance on a concert tour. They decide to go to the beach together. Kaede mentions that Mikazuki Villa is renting a lodge for a study camp. Rena asks Yachiyo if they can join. Yachiyo agrees. They arrive at the lodge. Yachiyo announces that everyone must complete ten pages of homework per subject per day before they can play.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rena &amp;amp; Kaede (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena negotiates with Yachiyo: if they can finish all three days&#039; worth of homework in one day, they can play at the beach tomorrow. Everyone agrees. They study hard together. Rena suggests a reward system to stay motivated. They shout encouragement like at an idol concert. Yachiyo and Momoko help with difficult problems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By evening, everyone has met their quota. Rena and Kaede rush to the beach. But Rena has eaten too much chocolate and feels bloated. She is embarrassed and refuses to go swimming. She goes to bed early.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rena, Kaede, and Momoko finally play at the beach. Mitama, Kanagi, and Mifuyu visit. Mitama has brought homemade rice balls as a reward. To decide who gets them, they hold a fishing contest. Rena and Kaede catch a pufferfish but come in second place. Kanagi wins first place and gets stuck with Mitama&#039;s cooking. Mifuyu is affected first. Rena and Kaede eat the remaining Mitama musubi and feel sick. They rest for the rest of the afternoon. Yachiyo goes shopping alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Rena and Kaede notice Yachiyo acting strange. They follow her and find her with fireworks. Yachiyo admits she bought them for everyone but felt too shy to ask. Rena and Kaede insist on setting them off together. They gather everyone. The group enjoys fireworks on the beach. Rena and Kaede stay up late playing with the leftovers. Momoko reflects on how much they have changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They wake up past noon. There is only an hour before the bus leaves. They quickly change into swimsuits and race to the beach. Rena loses and buys everyone juice. They enjoy a brief swim before heading home. Kaede says she is glad she came to the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Mitama asks Momoko to be her partner for the Beachside Perfect Pair Contest. The prizes include a scallop BBQ, Candy World tickets for Mikage, and a giant stuffed bunny Rena and Kaede would love. Momoko agrees, and Mitama immediately drags her out shopping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They browse swimsuits, but Mitama insists on choosing thoughtfully rather than buying on a whim. They separate briefly, and Mitama runs into Mikage, deflecting questions about what she’s doing. Momoko later admits she also had to make excuses after running into Rena and Kaede. Instead of buying swimsuits, Mitama brings Momoko back for an adjustment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the adjustment, they emerge in new swimsuits—Momoko’s tailored perfectly to her tastes, leaving her flustered but secretly pleased. Mitama teases her and admits she’s nervous but excited.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On contest day, Mitama and Momoko play on the beach. They learn the contest requires performing a shared beach memory with chemistry. They plan to tell the story of Mitama’s deserted island ordeal while Momoko adds her side of worrying. While playing, they fight a Witch together—the first time Mitama has teamed up with someone—then run straight into Rena, Kaede, and Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They win by performing the events of the day instead of their planned story. Rena claims the stuffed bunny, and Mikage gets the Candy World tickets, immediately inviting Mitama. Apologies are exchanged, and the others ask for no more secrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, while Mitama and Momoko clean up, Rena and Kaede take Mikage to get drinks. A girl from Mitama’s past confronts her: the one Mitama accidentally shoved down the stairs years ago. A crowd gathers, muttering rumors, but Momoko defends Mitama and the crowd disperses. The girl realizes it was an accident and offers to help clear Mitama’s name, but Mitama declines, saying she no longer needs it because she has someone who believes in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka arrives at a resort with her friends, carrying her mother’s challenge to do something she can only do now. After rescuing an old woman’s hat from the sea, she learns the hat was a gift from the woman’s daughter, Himari.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group spends the day swimming, building a sandcastle, and splitting into smaller activities. While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

* The next morning, the photographer leads them to a hidden pond where barringtonia blossoms float. She reveals this was the special place she and Himari had planned to visit. Madoka recognizes Himari’s name and, with her friends’ help, finds the old woman from the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The old woman and the photographer meet; the photographer confesses her guilt over their childhood fight, but the woman explains Himari never mentioned any quarrel—her illness suddenly worsened that day. The two women reconcile, and both thank Madoka for bringing them together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond. Madoka reflects that the thing she could only do here was to reunite the two women and give them peace. Her friends call her for one last swim, and she runs off to join them, already thinking of returning to the island someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story and Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
It has two versions I made, assimilate them if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomuradsSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka in her costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The non‑waterproof suit causes Sayaka to be electrocuted by its built‑in fan, but her Doppel activates and saves her. The Doppel drags Yachiyo into the water, and Yachiyo begins water‑skiing using her fishing rod while being pulled around.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura manages to fish up the Doppel and wins the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other&#039;s backs. Homura happily agrees, ending the day on a warm note.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Homura confronts her Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying summer and relying on Madoka’s kindness. The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurads&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura visit a seaside villa on the outskirts of Kamihama. They meet Felicia and her friends briefly. After parting ways, they decide to visit an aquarium. They participate in an accessory-making workshop using star sand. Inside the aquarium, they meet Ashley, an exchange student from the United States, and Riko. Ashley recognizes them as Magical Girls from Mitakihara because she encountered their copies in Endless Mirrors. They chat and learn Ashley is making videos about kawaii things in Japan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Waverider)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After parting ways with Ashley and Riko, Sayaka wants to visit a CD store. She hopes to find rare CDs for Kyosuke. At the store, she reaches for the same CD as a woman. They discover they both use notepads to track CDs. The woman is Takamine&#039;s wife—Takamine was a violinist who passed away. She collects his recordings to show her daughter. They exchange contact information. Sayaka mentions the upcoming flea market.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Sayaka and Kyoko transform into swimsuits and ride a surfboard to retrieve it, using Nagisa&#039;s floaty as a distraction. The hat is recovered. Takamine&#039;s wife realizes she lost her notepad. Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring. They plan for future fights: Sayaka will handle Familiars, Madoka and Homura will immobilize the Witch, and Mami will finish it off. Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the team encounters a paramedic and a girl under a Witch&#039;s influence. They enter the Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. The paramedic wakes up and thanks them and the team slips away quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of school after summer vacation, Mami calls Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura to the roof. Kyoko and Nagisa fought a powerful Witch and retreated. They warn the others and the team meets to plan. Kyoko and Nagisa will immobilize the Witch while Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura handle the Familiars. Mami will finish it off with her new firework attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The ext morning, the Witch appears and the team executes their plan. Mami uses a powerful firework attack, which she names &amp;quot;Fiore Finale,&amp;quot; to defeat the Witch. They rescue the captured people. A paramedic from earlier recognizes them and offers to take care of the victims. The team rushes to school but is late.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko invites Homura, Mami, Sayaka, and Madoka to the beach using tickets Mitama gave her after another accidental transformation into her magical swimsuit. The group swims, then Kyoko dominates the buffet. They discover a cliff diving spot, where Sayaka, Mami, and Kyoko take turns jumping while Madoka and Homura watch. They agree to return the day after next, since Madoka is busy the following day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kyoko asks Mitama to let her keep the swimsuit form for the summer, then heads to the beach alone.

Ui improves, but a rip current nearly sweeps her away; Kyoko rescues her. Moved by Ui’s determination, Kyoko keeps training her until sunset, and Ui finally masters swimming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully. Later, Kyoko visits Mitama to revert her outfit, explaining she wants to learn swimming properly rather than relying on magic. She trades a Grief Seed for money to buy ramune as payment for a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Eternal Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Momoko Togame (Sanctified)#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi meet again. Mitama shares her realization: her grief has ended. She now wants to make amends and carve a new future for Kamihama. They discuss ideas for the student conference. Kanagi suggests a sports festival. Mitama suggests a festival with food stalls. They joke about romance and love interests. Mitama feels lighter and ready to move forward. She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at the Wings of Magius, Alina asks Nemu to create a rumor for her. She will let it grow, then take it into herself and use it to achieve her greatest goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Touka and Nemu separately sneak to Ui’s room to leave apology notes. They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They first visit Mitama’s shop, where they meet Maria and Konomi. Mikage hands out sweets, crediting Lavi’s teaching, and Mitama permits them to visit the Mikazuki girls after receiving a cake. At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the real world, Tsuruno gives gelato to Ui and Felicia. Ui is absorbed in playing a game called &amp;quot;Little Vacation&amp;quot; on Tsuruno&#039;s phone. The game follows Tsuruno and Felicia as Reindeer Santas traveling to reach the End of the World and the Wishing Star.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia (Special Delivery)#Side Story|Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno uses the Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a hint: &amp;quot;The key is something you don&#039;t know the importance of until it&#039;s gone. This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The girls encourage Tsuruno and Felicia to leave since they were not originally trapped. Tsuruno and Felicia walk out easily. They promise to return once they find a way to free everyone. They leave, having failed to deliver smiles for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Town of Miraculous ☆ Prestidigitations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the next town. They meet Mitama, a magician performing tricks, and twins Rion and Hotori. Mitama attempts to teleport Hotori but accidentally duplicates her. There are now two Hotoris. Tsuruno and Felicia try to help. The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win. The duplicates are left behind. The single Tsuruno who lost is left alone without Reindeer-san #2 or the Okamochi Box. She decides to continue traveling anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; The three Tsurunos reunite and discuss the hints from the Okamochi Box. They realize &amp;quot;three heads are better than one&amp;quot; refers to them working together to solve the Maze Town puzzle. They also realize the key in Maze Town was a &amp;quot;smile&amp;quot;—something Ren had lost along the way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game. Game Tsuruno is surprised, saying the actual people probably do not play the game anymore. They celebrate their success and set their sights on the next town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents. Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia return home and ask to hear the full story, so Yachiyo retrieves the scarf from the time capsule where she had hidden it years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Check on the days again to make sure how many days pass. It&#039;s possible it&#039;s all just one day&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami finds herself in a strange white fog, speaking with two other versions of herself. Holy Mami claims she has learned the truth about magical girls from Alina Gray and Touka Satomi and has found a way to save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami has tea with Touka and Alina at a house rented for her by Touka. Mami explains she has not returned to Mitakihara because her priority is releasing magical girls. Touka and Alina offer to lecture her on what she needs to study. Alina grows disturbingly excited discussing van Gogh&#039;s Sunflowers, and Touka lectures at length on mathematics until Alina interrupts. Mami reassures them she will ask for help when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina receives a call from the Amane sisters requesting help with a Witch. Touka asks Mami to assist, explaining she has a lecture to give at noon to recruit skilled magical girls. Mami agrees, reflecting that releasing magical girls requires Grief Seeds, protecting Rumors, and raising Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane waiting for her. They explain the Witch has moved and the Black Feathers are monitoring it. A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Rika and Ren plan for their friends’ Christmas party a week away and promise to spend Christmas Eve together. While looking at options in a magazine, they cannot decide on a place.

* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumor Tsuruno begins designing the park, adding a merry-go-round, roller coaster, spa, shops, and a cafe. The mascots warn that once the park is complete, she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world. Rumor Tsuruno claims no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she imagines comfort foods with hot pot as the main star, she is reminded of Mikazuki Villa. She brushes it off and completes the park. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Sana recalls a story about the Rice God from Yachiyo and decides to write a practice story about it.&lt;br /&gt;

Sana writes the first part of the story: Aoi leaves the &amp;quot;Land of Beginnings&amp;quot; and arrives at the &amp;quot;Land of Blessings,&amp;quot; where residents constantly fight. Aoi suggests a picnic to help them understand each other. The residents grow closer. Ui enjoys the story. Sana reveals she wants to leave behind proof of Ai&#039;s existence before she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana asks Nemu for permission to use a character modelled after Ai in her picture book. Nemu agrees, saying she is happy Sana wishes to preserve Ai. Nemu advises Sana on how to become a published author: enter contests or approach publishers directly. Sana becomes discouraged when she realizes she would have to interact with people who cannot see her. She leaves feeling hopeless.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana wanders alone, feeling invisible. She helps a girl find a lost ring but is not noticed. She thinks her dream is impossible. Tsuruno, Felicia, and Ui find her, worried because she was not answering calls. Iroha and Yachiyo also arrive. Nemu calls and suggests Sana could use an agent to communicate with publishers, avoiding direct meetings. Sana regains her resolve. Yachiyo tells her not to give up on her dream. Iroha and the others promise to support her. Sana realizes she has a family to help her get back up.&lt;br /&gt;

===Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 1 (Flashback/Reflection)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi wakes from a nap and remembers the dream she had when fused with the Kimochi. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words that helped her realize she had not truly given up. Iroha told her that those who have given up do not fight, and that Lavi came to Kamihama because she still wanted to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro (Kimochi)#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects on the hope she once held—a daydream of a peaceful life where magical girls are understood. In that dream, she helped her mother, tended fields with her grandfather, watched Urara&#039;s street performances, and attended exhibitions with Shirogane. She encountered other magical girls: Asahi, Haitani, Kuroda, Urara, and Alexandra. They fought witches together and enjoyed everyday moments. Lavi realized she had locked away this hope because remembering it was painful. But now, through her connection with Iroha and her time with Nayuta, she has begun to see the future again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Due to a scheduling mistake, everyone arrives at the same inn on the same day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** There is not enough premium beef for dinner. The groups compete in hot spring table tennis, karaoke, and pillow fights to decide who gets the meat. Yuna cheats in table tennis and is disqualified. The karaoke machine is outdated. The pillow fight becomes chaotic. Asahi saves the day with gibier meat. Everyone shares the meal and enjoys the evening together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects that this bustling, noisy future is unlike her usual self, but she realizes she has been yearning for it deep down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 3 (Reality/Current Time)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi teaches Nayuta cooking. They discuss their futures: Nayuta wants to study magical girls at a university different from her father&#039;s. Lavi wants to help at her family&#039;s inn while spreading magical girl activities. They plan a trip with Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Upon arriving at Cradle of the Earth in Yukuni, they encounter Mikazuki Villa, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and the Tokime Clan—just as in Lavi&#039;s dream. There is again not enough meat for dinner. Lavi is overwhelmed but also excited. She realizes that even if the past cannot be undone, they can move forward together and create a bright future. She announces they will compete over the meat and create a new future with all of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo receives a call from Tsuruno: Felicia has run away. That evening, Felicia calls, planning to leave Kamihama to escape her guilt. Yachiyo tracks her location and rushes to the station with Tsuruno. Tsuruno finds Felicia, who confesses she cannot forget Iroha. Tsuruno shares Yachiyo&#039;s message: they should say &amp;quot;thank you&amp;quot; rather than &amp;quot;I&#039;m sorry.&amp;quot; Felicia agrees and returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo reveals her true purpose: she plans to use the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura to bring Iroha back by traveling through the Mirror Witch, even offering to take Iroha&#039;s place. When the others refuse to help, she attempts to go alone. Felicia uses her oblivion magic on Yachiyo and she forgets the plan entirely. Yachiyo continues preparing lunch as if nothing happened. They travel to the Rumor for the picnic. Along the way, Yachiyo asks the others to stop her if she ever loses control and tries something insane, admitting she can act on impulse when she loses composure. She also tells them they are all irreplaceable to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

While waiting for Yachiyo, she ends up having tea with the grandmother, who shares memories of Yachiyo and Mifuyu growing up—their failed surprise party, helping a lovesick university student, and Yachiyo standing up to Mifuyu&#039;s mother after a koto recital. Kanae grows emotional, feeling she only causes trouble compared to them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyoMifuyuStartingOutss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu (Starting Out)#Side Story|Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Two Hands in Harmony|Two Hands in Harmony]]&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. It may already be done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane complain about being overworked as guardians of a Rumor and fear the anger of Touka, Alina, and Nemu. They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

===A Taste of Hospitality===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - A Taste of Hospitality|A Taste of Hospitality]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko and Ashley help Mitama film a video about her Coordinator services, whre she explains that she adjusts Soul Gems to draw out hidden potential, that she sees memories during adjustments but keeps them confidential, and that she also sells items for Magical Girls. As payment for the video, Riko gives Mitama an origami dog (Mameji) and Ashley gives her blue candy from her home, both of which Mitama puts in a box.&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, Mitama receives many gifts from Magical Girls, including Kokoro, Reira, Mito, Felicia, Ayame, Kako, Yachiyo, Karin, Himika, Rika and Emiri, the last of whom says that when people share their favorite things, it means they want to share what they love with Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama hums happily, which Momoko and Kanagi notice and feel a bad omen. Mitama announces that she wants to share what she loves with everyone and that she plans a party with food that she will cook. She asks Momoko and Kanagi to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;

===Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin|Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One winter’s day before Christmas, Rika and Ren go shopping together. The town has no Christmas decorations and people seem depressed. They hear a distressed voice and find Mitama, wearing a Santa&#039;s beard and hat, and she introduces herself as a Christmas Spirit. Mitama says her job is to make everyone happy, but the task is too big. She gives Rika and Ren some of her magic, explaining that the magic requires them to be perfectly attuned to each other, and then she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, a swallow Familiar appears, claiming to be Mitama’s pupil and Rika names him Chirpie. Chirpie explains that Mitama saved him when he fell from his nest and gave him magic. He can sense cowardly hearts lacking courage and Rika and Ren must drive out ten cowardly hearts to make the town happy. Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chirpie leads them to Felicia and Sana, who had accidentally smashed a cake and are now arguing about who should apologize to Yachiyo. Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;

===Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines|Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 13th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mitama is away from her shop, but Tsuruno is there, using the kitchen to make chocolate bonbons with a friend. She plans to surprise everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 14th:&#039;&#039;&#039; On Valentine&#039;s Day, Tsuruno gives beautifully wrapped chocolates to Iroha, Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana and Ui at Mikazuki Villa. Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rise of the Waning Moon===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Rise of the Waning Moon|Rise of the Waning Moon]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day during lunch break, Kanagi goes to Himika’s classroom, telling her she just wanted to see her face, which Himika finds strange.&lt;br /&gt;
** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===Finding Our Formula===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Finding Our Formula|Finding Our Formula]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Hinano and Emiri attend a chemistry event. Hinano is excited to see a chemist who reminds her of the woman she idolized as a child—a tall, long-legged lady who taught fun chemistry experiments. Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo calls back and confirms they will come.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group arrives at the hotel and Yachiyo&#039;s relative, an older woman, greets them warmly. She says she used to hang out with Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river. Tsuruno and Felicia compete to see who can clean faster, inventing names for their techniques. Yachiyo scolds them for being inefficient. They eventually work together.&lt;br /&gt;

Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the next day, the group arrives at the pool for opening day. Yachiyo handles reception. The ticket scanner malfunctions and a line forms.

** Mitama notices Yachiyo has something on her mind and suggests she talk to someone she trusts. Iroha later asks Yachiyo to help with a crowded lunch area. Ui is taking orders with Sana&#039;s invisible help making drinks.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral. Yachiyo admits she was worried about everyone but sees they are doing fine. Iroha tells Yachiyo it is okay to worry because she cares, and they can solve problems together. Iroha notices Yachiyo has been down and offers to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
** A foam machine malfunctions, spewing foam everywhere. A guest slips and falls. The group splits up to clean the foam and help guests. Mitama fixes the machine with a whack. The support staff arrives. The girls finally have time to enjoy the pool.&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models. She does not know what to post and is shy about taking selfies. Iroha suggests posting photos of herself and takes pictures of Yachiyo on a float with the sunset. Yachiyo is embarrassed but agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Tsuruno want a turn on the float. Everyone climbs on, and Mitama takes a group photo just as they all fall into the water. Iroha loves the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the pool photos are popular online. Yachiyo&#039;s manager says going to the pool was a good move. Yachiyo thanks Iroha and says she might take her up on being her photographer again. She sends the group photo to everyone. Iroha says the photo may not be &amp;quot;social media-worthy&amp;quot; but it captures who they are. They agree to go back to the pool again—summer is just getting started.&lt;br /&gt;

Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
** She met a girl named &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; N told Kako who was responsible and what she needed to do to destroy them. Kako clung to her. She later learned N was manipulative and saw others as pawns. Kako hates N and wants revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found herself in a Labyrinth. Nanaka fought off Familiars but was overwhelmed. Kyubey offered Kako the chance to become a Magical Girl.

She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kako learned Nanaka faked her struggle to entrap her into making the wish. Nanaka had pulled this trick on others to use them as pawns. Kako could not forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako and Nanaka fought Witches together. Nanaka encouraged Kako and told her she was better suited to being a Magical Girl than Nanaka was. Kako wanted to get stronger. Nanaka wrote a letter confessing her deception and asking Kako to kill her. Kako made up her mind to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka. She returned it unopened, saying it seemed wrong to read something Nanaka only sent by accident. Nanaka smiled and said Kako was dazzling. She said she would try to tell Kako her feelings in person someday.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako thinks Nanaka overestimates her, but she is no longer as scared and helpless as she used to be. She is a Magical Girl who protects the city by Nanaka&#039;s side.&lt;br /&gt;

===Kokoro Awane&#039;s Heartphial Story: A World Where I Never Was===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro Awane reflects on her life. Before, she hated herself so many times for making her wish, kicking herself for it. She thought that since it was her fault, she had to do something about it. But now, all she wants is to do the best she can as a family of three with all her heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro goes hiking with Masara. They sing a cookie song but disagree on the lyrics—Masara says it is &amp;quot;knead,&amp;quot; while Kokoro remembers &amp;quot;mix.&amp;quot; Kokoro mentions a rumor about parallel universes and false memories. At the summit, Kokoro reminisces about hiking with her parents when she was little. She reveals that after her mother left, her family fell apart. Her father struggled as a single parent. Kokoro wished to Kyubey for her mother to come home. Her mother returned, but her parents&#039; relationship did not improve. Kokoro felt she had to work harder to fix things.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Kokoro remembers meeting Masara. Masara bluntly told her that it was not her fault, and those words finally got through. Kokoro stopped trying to fix everything alone and started getting her whole family to work together.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present Day) After the hike, Kokoro hears a voice talking about the Rumor of Parallel Memories. She finds a CD of the cookie song in a bargain bin. The lyrics on the back say &amp;quot;mix,&amp;quot; not &amp;quot;knead.&amp;quot; She wonders if it is an item from a parallel universe. She feels dizzy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro finds herself in a parallel world. Her house is now a café. Her parents run it together and are happily married. They do not recognize her. Kokoro sees they are close and in love, just like when she was little. She hears about attractions and brands she has never heard of. Her mother sings the cookie song with &amp;quot;mix.&amp;quot; Kokoro realizes she was never born in this world. She feels painful but also jealous of their happiness. She thinks her parents might have been better off without her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro wishes to go home. She feels dizzy again. She hears her parents calling her name. She wakes up to find she had collapsed. Her parents found her and called an ambulance. She is taken to the hospital. She wonders if the parallel world was real or just a dream.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Kokoro&#039;s parents bake cookies together. They include her in the process. Her mother sings a version of the cookie song with different lyrics—&amp;quot;stir, stir, stir them well, that taste of happiness.&amp;quot; Kokoro asks her mother to sing the old part. Her mother says she just did. Kokoro changes her mind and says she does not want to hear it anymore. She prefers these cookies, the ones the three of them made together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Himika Mao&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Lucky Break Lost &amp;amp; Found===&lt;br /&gt;
* Himika Mao reflects on her life. Her family is far from rich, so when her dad got sick and collapsed, her whole world went dark. But it was her family&#039;s smiling faces that kept her going through it all. That is why she will continue to fight to protect them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Himika goes shopping for bargains and wins a grand prize from a drawing: a 2-night stay at a luxury hotel with a pool on a tropical island, complete with meals. She is thrilled to take her whole family. She hides the ticket in a Baby Bunny pouch for safekeeping.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Himika&#039;s father worked day and night to support their family of eight. He collapsed from overwork. He survived but could not work like before. The family was running out of money. Her siblings fought and cried. Her father suggested they all live in different facilities. Himika made a wish to Kyubey to cure her father. She became a Magical Girl. Her father recovered, and her family returned to a normal, peaceful life.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present Day) Himika&#039;s friends Kako and Ayame visit. Himika cannot find the ticket. She realizes she mistook the pouch for a stuffed animal and sent it away in a box of Mocha Bunny dolls for a crane game prize. She calls the shipping company, but the boxes have already been handed to a subcontractor.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama suggests having Himika&#039;s father call the subcontractor to track down the pouch. Himika&#039;s father does so. The company says they will search for it.&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Rena calls Himika. She saw the Baby Bunny pouch in a crane game at an arcade. Himika, Kako, Ayame, Rena, and Kaede go to the arcade. The pouch is in the replenishment case, meaning Himika must win all the Mocha Bunnies already out to reach it. Himika decides to use a strategy but is short on money.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika observes other players to learn techniques, calling it &amp;quot;crane training.&amp;quot; She strategizes to create an avalanche by knocking down piles of plushies. She successfully clears most of the machine. The staff restocks the machine, placing the pouch inside surrounded by four giant Mocha Bunnies.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika aims to move two bunnies out of the way to reach the pouch. She successfully clears the pandas and one bunny. She realizes there are two Baby Bunny pouches, not one. She cannot tell which is hers. She has only three tries left. She misses on two tries. On her final try, she aims for both pouches at once and succeeds. The crowd applauds.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Himika&#039;s family goes on the tropical vacation. She explains that when she asked Kyubey to cure her dad, what she really wanted was for her family to be back together. She later learns from a staff member that if she had explained the situation at first, they would have just given her the pouch back. All&#039;s well that ends well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before becoming meguca). Ren writes in her journal and draws illustrations. She tells a story about a bear cub who lives in a gray world after dying.

Kyubey appeared and granted her wish to live. She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey told her that Witches can cause bullying. Ren decided to fight Witches to build a kinder world. But she realized that some people are just bad, and defeating Witches does not change that. She attempted suicide again. Rika found her and stopped her. Rika became her light. Rika introduced her to new friends and gave her presents. Rika said that as long as you have one shining thing in the world, you can keep going.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (present) Ren and Rika go shopping. Ren finds an earring someone dropped and returns it. The owner is grateful. Ren feels happy and buys a colored pencil. She thinks about adding color to her bear story. She decides to use the Cherry Pink pencil because Rika loves pink. She writes about a Spirit of Light that appears before the bear cub and shows her that the world is not actually gray—it is full of colors.&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri shows Ren a kaleidoscope. Hinano invites her to make one. Akira helps her carry a package. Konomi gives her flowers. Kanoko shows her a mushroom-themed clothing design. Ren writes about the bear cub meeting a Spirit of Light with many friends—a butterfly, a shrub, a lion, a tulip, and a mushroom. The Gray World gradually takes on color. The bear cub does not want it to end.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren invites Rika to a picture book exhibition. Rika declines because she has plans. Ren is rejected and embarrassed. She invites Rika to a teddy bear exhibition.

The bear cub realizes the Spirit of Light is disappearing from her world. The world goes back to gray.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika messages Ren, apologizing and saying she was planning a surprise birthday party. Ren does not reply. She hides in a dark room at school. Rika finds her and calls her instead of opening the door. Rika explains she wanted to surprise Ren. She gives Ren a set of 12 colored pencils with a carved lily of the valley on the case. Ren cries and thanks her. The bear cub looks up and sees the Spirit of Light smiling at her. Her world is once again filled with light.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren buys another colored pencil. She notices the name is &amp;quot;Blue Sky&amp;quot; instead of &amp;quot;Sky Blue.&amp;quot; She hears a voice talking about the Rumor of Parallel Memories. She feels dizzy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren dreams she is dead. She cannot see or touch her parents. They mourn her suicide. She never became a Magical Girl and never met Rika. She watches her friends go to the teddy bear exhibition without her. She is invisible. She feels awful and wants to go back to the land of the living. She remembers the colored pencil with the different name—that must be the proof of another world. She holds it and wishes to live. She wakes up. It was all a dream. Rika messages her to join everyone for snacks. Ren goes to meet them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren finishes her bear story. The gatekeeper asks the bear cub if she has any regrets. The bear cub says yes. She wishes to leave behind her journal, filled with entries about the Spirit of Light and all the sparkles she showed her. The gatekeeper opens the gates. The bear cub does not say goodbye because she knows she will see the Spirit of Light again someday in the World of Light. Ren realizes the bear cub is reborn, just like she was when she met Rika and her friends. She can live in a world full of color.&lt;br /&gt;

Konoha was sent to an orphanage called Azalea House. Her heart was frozen, but the director&#039;s kindness slowly brought color back to her world. She met Hazuki and Ayame there. They became sisters bound by a bond stronger than blood. The director treated them like family.&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before becoming Magical Girls) Azalea House was to be torn down due to unknown powerful forces. The stress of it claimed the director&#039;s life. Kyubey appeared and offered contracts.

They left Azalea House and have lived together ever since.&lt;br /&gt;

** They find Kanoko chasing a bus. She left her bag on the bus. They catch up to the bus, but the bag is already gone. Mitama contacts Asuka, who picked up the bag for safekeeping. They go to the dojo where Asuka teaches. Asuka reveals she bumped into Momoko at a convenience store and may have switched bags again.

&lt;br /&gt;
* A teacher asks Hazuki to deliver worksheets to Nanaka. Hazuki is reluctant because Konoha distrusts Nanaka after an incident where Nanaka&#039;s team tricked them into fighting a powerful Witch. Hazuki delivers the worksheets. Nanaka suggests they should share information without secrets. Hazuki agrees to try building trust, but she remains wary.&lt;br /&gt;

* During the storm, the rope bridge collapses due to the rain. Hazuki and Nanaka cannot cross the river. They find an old shack for shelter. They huddle together for warmth. Hazuki shares her past: her parents died in an accident when she was young. She was shuffled between relatives until she ended up at Azalea House. She learned to hide her fear behind a smile. The director taught her to smile when her heart truly felt it. She met Konoha and Ayame there. They became family. They made wishes to protect Azalea House and left to live together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka listens quietly. She says she finally understands Hazuki&#039;s true self. Nanaka grows pale and cold. Hazuki worries she might collapse. Hazuki insists they huddle closer. Nanaka admits she is cold. They wait together.&lt;br /&gt;
** The rain stops. Akira and others find them at the shack. They are taken back to camp. The nurse checks them. Hazuki and Nanaka are cleared to stay. Nanaka is grateful for Hazuki&#039;s help.

** Ayame and Kako meet in secret. They are friends but cannot openly hang out because their teams do not get along. Ayame complains about the situation. Kako shows her a book about ocean adventures. Ayame becomes curious about whether the ocean boils when the sun sets. They decide to go to the beach together to find out.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame and Kako take a train and a bus toward the beach. Ayame is excited. Konoha calls and texts repeatedly, but Ayame ignores her. They get off the bus when it breaks down and take a detour. They discover a field of sunflowers. They share cup noodles together. Ayame turns off her phone. Kako also ignores Nanaka&#039;s messages to focus on their adventure. They finally reach the beach and watch the sunset together. Ayame still cannot tell if the ocean boils, but she is happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback - Azalea House) Ayame dreams of the Director. She remembers the day Azalea House was going to be torn down. The Director had already passed away. Konoha, Hazuki, and Ayame met Kyubey and decided to become Magical Girls. Ayame wished for Azalea House to stay open forever. Konoha wished to eliminate all threats to it. They decided on a third wish: to have everyone at Azalea House forget they were ever there. They left the orphanage and started living together. Ayame remembers Konoha&#039;s promise that they would always be together. She reflects on her conflict with Konoha over her friendship with Kako. She wishes the Director could tell her what to do.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame wakes up at Kako&#039;s relatives&#039; house. Konoha has arrived. She found Ayame by asking Nanaka to track Kako&#039;s location.

&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara finds the world boring. She is good at swimming but lacks passion. Kyubey appears and offers her any wish. She wishes for a load of money and becomes a Magical Girl. She fights Witches, and the excitement fades quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara meets Kokoro Awane in a Labyrinth. Kokoro is uncomfortable with Masara&#039;s reckless fighting and tells her to protect herself more. Masara says she does not care if she dies. Kokoro says her family would care. Masara questions why Kokoro blames herself for her family&#039;s problems. Kokoro asks if they can stick together. Masara agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a Witch hunt, they&#039;re attacked by a Witch and Masara takes a hit to protect Kokoro. She gets a scar. She starts avoiding Kokoro because she does not understand her feelings. Mitama explains that Masara fears seeing Kokoro get hurt, so she avoids her to prevent that pain. Masara realizes she fears losing Kokoro, so they reconcile.&lt;br /&gt;
* The swim club announces the relay team. Masara is chosen but declines, saying she is not good at team sports. Koshino, who has always been second to Masara, is chosen as her replacement. Koshino vows to beat Masara&#039;s record.&lt;br /&gt;
* While Kokoro and Masara go on patrol, they see Koshino training alone after school hours. Koshino tells Masara she beat her personal record. Masara is puzzled by Koshino&#039;s passion.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika Ayano&#039;s Heartphial Story: Haunting Love, Haunting Mistake===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika Ayano reflects on her life. She does not want to feel like she became a Magical Girl for nothing. She got to see what dating is like and made loads of friends. But sins do not wash away so easily. That is the price you pay for a miracle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback, but the entirety seems like mostly a flashback) Kyubey offers Rika any wish in exchange for becoming a Magical Girl. Hinano warns her not to do it, but Rika ignores the advice. She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* Several days later, Miss K visits Riko. They talk about her father. Miss K says she wants to make up with him but does not know how. Riko suggests inviting him to meet the baby, giving him a present, or going on a family trip. Miss K doubts any of it will work. They walk to Riko&#039;s store together. They encounter Miss K&#039;s father outside. Riko admits she asked Miss K to come so they could patch things up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Miss K&#039;s father reveals he brought a herbarium to Riko&#039;s store. It was originally meant as a gift for his grandchild, but he could not bring himself to deliver it. Riko realizes Mameji had been guiding her this whole time. Earlier, Mameji had barked at the cake that turned out to be from Miss K&#039;s father. Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;

===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky.

She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ashley Taylor&#039;s Heartphial Story: Can&#039;t Be Myself Without What I Love===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley Taylor reflects on her life. Studying in Japan is awesome fun. She wants to find more kawaii for her vlog viewers back home and asks her father to watch over her while she pursues her passions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley vlogs with Riko&#039;s help. She films herself shopping for Magical Kirin merch and gurokawa items. After editing and uploading the video, she replies to comments from her followers. She thinks about her father and hopes he is watching.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley remembers the day she wanted to study abroad in Japan. Her father refused without giving a clear reason, which was unusual. Kyubey appeared and offered to grant any wish. Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko notices Ashley seems down. She worries Ashley is overworking herself by vlogging daily and replying to comments late at night. Ashley says it does not feel like work because she loves it. She thanks Riko for being a kind friend. They go out to film another vlog.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley continues vlogging daily. She worries about skipping a day because her followers might unfollow her. She wakes up to find Kumanosuke missing. She panics, feeling like her world is ending. Riko arrives with a bento and finds Ashley crying. Ashley explains she lost Kumanosuke. Riko comforts her and says it is okay to skip a vlog. Ashley admits she has been using followers&#039; comments to fill the hole left by her father&#039;s death. Riko says she understands loss—she misses her sister who moved far away. They decide to search for Kumanosuke.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko suggests Ashley ask her followers for help finding Kumanosuke. During a live stream, a commenter suggests rewatching her previous vlog. Ashley realizes she left Kumanosuke on a chair when she got distracted by a crane machine. They find Kumanosuke on a shelf at the store, dressed in Waloli Gurokawa clothes. Ashley gets him back. She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

* At the hospital, a nurse tries to convince Touka to eat her carrots. Touka refuses unless her terms are met: she wants specific books brought to her. The books are Hachslingen&#039;s &amp;quot;General Theory of the Origin of the Universe,&amp;quot; Cosinberg&#039;s &amp;quot;Celestial Forces,&amp;quot; and Dadatri&#039;s &amp;quot;Glimmer of the Planet.&amp;quot; She claims no one will hand them over. The nurse eventually gives up on the carrots.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Future Relationships|Future Relationships ~Current Status with Onee-sama~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha arrives, having been called by Ui. Ui admits she asked Iroha to search for the books Touka wanted, having written out the titles for her.

** Nemu deduces that Touka is acting like Princess Kaguya, requesting treasures she knows do not exist to avoid eating her carrots. Exposed, Touka reluctantly eats a carrot.

* Touka eagerly awaits Iroha&#039;s arrival to play Old Maid, noting Iroha has won first place seven times in a row but that her face always gives the game away. Nemu observes to Ui that Touka frequently says &amp;quot;Onee-sama&amp;quot; now, likely because Iroha is her first elder sister. Nemu quietly reflects that Iroha is her first Onee-san as well. Iroha arrives and greets them all warmly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Nemu thanks Iroha and makes Touka apologize for the trouble. Touka gives a half-hearted apology.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the girls play a number-guessing game. Touka wins five times in a row. Iroha suggests Touka and Nemu call her something more casual. Touka chooses &amp;quot;Onee-sama.&amp;quot; Nemu asks to call her &amp;quot;Onee-san.&amp;quot; Iroha happily agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka eagerly awaits Iroha&#039;s arrival to play Old Maid, noting Iroha has won first place seven times in a row but that her face always gives the game away. Nemu observes to Ui that Touka frequently says &amp;quot;Onee-sama&amp;quot; now, likely because Iroha is her first elder sister. Nemu quietly reflects that Iroha is her first Onee-san as well. Iroha arrives and greets them all warmly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A familiar appears and attacks. Touka is overwhelmed. Iroha arrives and fights it off, guided by Kyubey. She expresses concern for Ui and her friends. Ui realizes it really is her big sister and Touka recognizes Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call|Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wait, You Got It Wrong!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayu Kozue&#039;s most treasured possession is a bear pendant her father carved for her before he died. When a hand-drawn postcard is stolen from the museum where she works, security footage shows her friend Ria at the scene moments later. Mayu cannot reach Ria and suspects a Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~|Wait, You Got It Wrong! / Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While searching for Ria, Mayu encounters Asuka Tatsuki, whose family&#039;s invaluable book of secrets was also stolen. A witness described a blonde girl in a Mizuna uniform—Ria. They find Sayuki Fumino crying over her stolen sword book, then Rena Minami who was bumped by the same girl. At Walnut&#039;s restaurant, Manaka Kurumi accuses Ria of stealing a rice omelet. A Witch barrier appears, and after Mayu and Asuka defeat the Familiars, Ria arrives demanding to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka challenges Ria to a duel over the thefts, and Ria loses. She confesses to something embarrassing, and everyone assumes she means the thefts—but she meant a binder of idol clippings she desperately hopes no one saw. She was only chasing the Witch to recover her own stolen belongings. Relieved, Mayu and Asuka join her. They track and defeat the Witch, recovering most items, but the museum postcard, the dojo book, and Ria&#039;s binder remain missing. They agree to search again tomorrow. That night, Mayu dreams of her father, who tells her material things are destined to break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, thefts continue across the city. Mayu realizes the Witch they defeated was only a Familiar and the real Witch is still out there. She offers her precious pendant as bait to track it. Despite Ria&#039;s protests, Mayu uses it, and they follow the magic trail to the Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After a difficult battle, they recover all stolen items, though Mayu&#039;s pendant is scratched and its chain broken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu is unbothered. She explains that material possessions naturally break, but the memories they hold remain in her heart—a lesson from her father. Asuka and Ria are moved, and Mayu turns to walk home, promptly falls into a lake, and flounders while Ria sighs that she has not changed at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor she calls Miss K. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Miss K with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Miss K&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Miss K to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

===&amp;quot;Let&#039;s hit the Suitoku baths! (Music Collection 1 bonus drama)&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo, Iroha, and Sana prepare a meal. Felicia reluctantly helps. Tsuruno arrives with a flyer for Suitokuyu, a public bathhouse holding an event as part of a shopping district revitalization plan. She invites everyone to go together. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the bathhouse, they read the posted rules. Tsuruno pretends to be a &amp;quot;bathhouse master&amp;quot; and teaches them. Sana becomes embarrassed about being naked in front of everyone. Yachiyo understands her feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Villa. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;
~A Little Break For Us~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===This is The Warmest Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha is going about her day when Sana, Felicia, and Ui present her with a pinwheel and ask her to blow on it. Though confused by their strange behavior, Iroha does as they ask and the girls thank her before quickly scampering off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~#This Is The Warmest Day Login Special|This is The Warmest Day]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts. When Yachiyo asks Iroha&#039;s opinion, Iroha expresses her love for shortcake and suggests they bake one immediately, but Yachiyo insists she wait for the right moment, which will come sooner than she thinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Lavi is shopping when Nayuta finds her to share news about her math test score. They return home where Lavi prepares dinner, and Nayuta discovers Lavi earned perfect scores in every subject, highlighting the gap between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House|The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day while Lavi runs errands, Nayuta confides in Mikage about her fears that Lavi only respects her father and secretly resents serving her. Seeking answers, Nayuta visits Mitama, who suggests that kindness and broad-mindedness are the traits she needs to develop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Nayuta observes how hard Lavi works attending school, studying, handling housework, and fighting witches. Worried she might collapse, Nayuta offers Lavi time off for her upcoming sixteenth birthday and secretly plans a surprise party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later on Lavi&#039;s birthday, Nayuta and Mikage struggle through cleaning the house and preparing a celebration. Their efforts are interrupted when Lavi returns early for lunch, scolds them for the mess, but leaves again at Nayuta&#039;s insistence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Lavi returns that evening, the handmade kusudama falls onto the cake and catches fire. Lavi extinguishes it with water, and Nayuta is left mortified as her surprise party fails spectacularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Nayuta senses lingering coldness from Lavi and struggles to find the right way to apologize. Remembering her father&#039;s example, she decides to catch and cook a fish as an apology gift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day at a fishing center, Nayuta encounters girls from the Tokime clan who teach her how to gut fish. Despite being disturbed by the process, she perseveres and eventually catches the exact fish she wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning home late, Nayuta discovers a threatening letter addressed to Lavi and deduces it must be connected to the serious trouble from Lavi&#039;s hometown. She rushes to the market street with Mikage to protect her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the market street, Nayuta confronts the man speaking with Lavi, declaring herself as Satomi Tasuke&#039;s daughter to intimidate him. The man reveals he is simply a stalker with no connection to Lavi&#039;s past, and when he becomes agitated, Nayuta tackles him unconscious as a crowd applauds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Nayuta presents the cooked fish and apologizes. Lavi admits she was barely angry anymore and thanks Nayuta for protecting her, acknowledging she was just like her father in that moment. Nayuta produces a second kusudama and cake, and this time the celebration succeeds. As they pick confetti from the cake, Lavi quietly says she will continue to admire Nayuta until the final day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Art 02 01 0003 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune. The Rumor says that if you receive the book and find a drawing of yourself, the sketched event will happen and if you try to stop it, a creature named Ketch drags you into the book. Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Art 02 01 0010 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Art 02 01 0007 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One summer morning, Mitama is at her shop and she has set up a small café corner called Hot☆Corner. The cat, Doyle, is especially attached to her lately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery|The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day|Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Rumored Temp Counselor===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away|Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

===Always Waving my Hand at You===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Sakuya wakes from another nightmare about the Futatsugi war, where she killed her best friend. She resolves to continue her undercover mission at Iroha&#039;s school and avoid friendships at all costs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Always Waving my Hand at You|Always Waving my Hand at You / I’ll Keep Waving at You]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ryoko notices Sakuya&#039;s exhaustion and decides something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ryoko tracks Sakuya down at her school, creating a scene about missing shoes that sparks gossip. After learning Sakuya may be engineering her own isolation, Ryoko continues her efforts to help, but Sakuya runs away each time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Ryoko investigates and discovers Sakuya hid her own shoes and started the gossip to isolate herself. Sakuya confesses she killed her best friend in the war and must remain alone to avoid hurting anyone else. Ryoko declares she will save Sakuya by becoming her best friend, and they fight until exhausted. That night, Sakuya dreams of her deceased friend, who thanks her and tells her to move forward. She wakes to find Ryoko collapsed from hunger, and they talk for hours like ordinary friends. Though they agree they cannot meet again until the battles are over, they promise to become true friends then.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the following days, Sakuya returns to normal life by socializing with classmates, sleeping better, and regaining her spirits. Ryoko gains a new goal: to free Sakuya from the things that bind her, once and for all, when the time is right.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls in Kush, who transforms into a vampire and she wins the contest. Natsuki takes second place and Karin takes third place. A commemorative photo is taken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin completes her manga, &amp;quot;The Pumpkin King and the Ghost Servant.&amp;quot; She shows it to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede who praise it, giving it 100 points or more. Kaede appreciates the happy ending. Karin is moved by Kaede&#039;s approval. Manaka arrives with pumpkin pie for a taste test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the Sakae Halloween Festa, Karin arrives at the festival in her Pumpkin King costume. Alina is also present, already dressed as the ghost servant from Karin&#039;s manga. Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head of the executive committee thanks Karin for recommending Alina as the face of the event. Karin reflects on her hope that Alina will one day atone for her sins and reach a happy ending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mikage wonders if she might become famous but worries about sketchy people, and Mitama jokingly offers to beat them up. Mikage asks if they can make real chocolate together, but Mitama needs to go to her coordinator shop. Mikage promises to do things that make her sister smile instead, and Mitama suggests they make Valentine&#039;s chocolate together next year. Mikage eagerly agrees to practice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choc&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Promised Blood&#039;s base, Yuna notices her teammates have been acting strangely, as Sakuya reads romance columns, Juri studies constantly, and Urara stares at Hikaru without speaking. After the meeting, Yuna confides in Hikaru that she feels guilty for not noticing everyone&#039;s exhaustion and decides to solve each person&#039;s problems personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend. Though relieved it&#039;s not her own love life, Yuna insists on helping anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s place, the group brainstorms confession advice. The conversation shifts when Ao receives a text from her parents—she&#039;s been lying to them about her late nights as a magical girl, claiming she&#039;s in an e-sports tournament. To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the online tournament, chaos ensues as Juri attacks teammates, Hikaru sets the kitchen on fire, and Yuna fails at selling merchandise. Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the student council meeting, Yuna honestly requests more time to handle personal matters, promising to dedicate herself fully afterward. The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

==Magia Record Events==&lt;br /&gt;
===See You Tomorrow===&lt;br /&gt;
* One morning at the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira greets an older neighbor who warns her about increasing danger in the area. Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them. The girl agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, finishing the final preparations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day of the school festival proceeds without major incident. Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, sampling food and enjoying the event. They take a photo together at the repaired arch—Tsumugi, Manaka, and the transfer student in her uniform. The transfer student reflects later that she will cherish the photo forever, grateful for the kindness she did not feel she deserved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Autumn of Reading===&lt;br /&gt;
This seems to have been an event without story. Needs to be re-checked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Girls in the Hood===&lt;br /&gt;
* An earthquake strikes the city, and on a rooftop, Jun Kazari drops both her yo-yo and her soul gem while practicing tricks. She chases after the soul gem, while the yo-yo falls into the hood of Mitsune Miwa, a hikikomori watching a performance below. Mitsune decides to return it and runs up the stairs, where she collides with Jun. Jun explains she needs her soul gem, and Mitsune returns the yo-yo. A Witch&#039;s barrier appears around them, and Jun transforms to fight while telling Mitsune to close her eyes. Mitsune peeks, collapses after seeing the Witch die, and Jun carries her outside, claiming it was all a dream. Jun insists on treating Mitsune since she saved her yo-yo, and takes her to a candy store called Tomorrow Shop. Jun introduces her to the children there, and Mitsune is amazed by how loved Jun is. Mitsune must leave by 6 PM, and Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Girls in the Hood|Girls in the Hood]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitsune returns to the shop and sees Kanae Yukino talking with Jun. Mitsune detours down an alley and is caught in a Witch&#039;s barrier. Kanae enters first, and Jun follows to save Mitsune. They defeat the Witch together, and Mitsune wakes in a park. Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop&amp;quot; again, and Mitsune smiles and agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Jun talks to Kyubey about having no friends her own age, while Mitsune researches online and finds rumors about magical girls and the Tomorrow Shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Jun and the shop owner discover that Mitsune is their neighbor. Mitsune asks Jun about what she saw, but Jun says she forgot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitsune later sees Kanae talking to Kyubey and follows her, but is pulled into a Familiar&#039;s labyrinth. Jun saves her, and Mitsune directly asks if Jun is a magical girl. Jun begins explaining Witches, Familiars, and magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mitsune admits she still cannot go to school or make friends. Jun says she also struggles with friends. Mitsune wonders if she should become a magical girl, but Jun yells at her not to. Mitsune leaves upset. Kanae warns Jun that Mitsune has the qualities to become a magical girl, and Jun reveals she is moving away from Kamihama. She used her wish to save the shop, but now realizes other things are more important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Jun tells Mitsune she is moving next week and that magical girls do not have the kind of magic Mitsune dreams of. Mitsune must make her own dreams come true. Jun promises to prove she does not need magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Jun finds that the children and Mitsune went to explore Shinsei Ward without her. She finds them at an abandoned construction site where Mitsune encountered a Witch. Mitsune sent the children away but stayed behind. Jun arrives and uses a homemade bomb to damage the Witch before they escape. A gas leak causes a larger explosion, and they escape on Kanae&#039;s motorcycle. Kanae later destroys the Witch barrier herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Jun says goodbye at the shop. Mitsune arrives crying, and Jun gives her a fake gum toy as a farewell gift. Jun tells her she can become whatever she wants without magic, slowly and little by little, and that if she keeps that happy face, they will meet again. &amp;quot;Someday, see you at the Tomorrow Shop again.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, Jun returns to Kamihama. Despite destruction throughout the city, she decides to go to the Tomorrow Shop and see Mitsune and the old lady again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope 1===&lt;br /&gt;
* At age 12, shortly after contracting, Yachiyo meets Mifuyu and initially dislikes her, but her opinion changes after learning about Mifuyu&#039;s demanding family obligations and when Mifuyu takes a severe wound saving her from hostile Magical Girls. Yachiyo later returns the favor, and they grow closer as Mifuyu begins visiting Mikazuki Manor. They eventually share why they made their contracts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope|Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, they defeat a Witch together that had attacked a girl from the hostel. Yachiyo suggests they train as a team, and Mifuyu accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo thrives through hard work while Mifuyu struggles under her mother&#039;s expectations. After Yachiyo confronts Mifuyu&#039;s mother, she is banned from the household, but Mifuyu gains the freedom to visit Mikazuki Manor regularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon, Yachiyo&#039;s modelling team disbands so she can pursue solo work, causing friction. Mifuyu becomes overwhelmed balancing duties with her mother&#039;s restrictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the same pair of Magical Girls from years ago betrays them during a Witch hunt. One dies and the other escapes after stealing the Grief Seed while Yachiyo and Mifuyu lie wounded. They nearly give up, but saving a girl from Yachiyo&#039;s unit reminds them that protecting others still matters. Yachiyo suggests they exchange letters like her grandmother did to maintain hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* For the next seven years, they exchange letters, carrying forward each other&#039;s dreams and finding strength to continue. They later regret not including Kanae and Mel in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Seven years later, Mifuyu suggests stopping the letters to cast away weakness, but Yachiyo believes the letters give them strength by carrying others&#039; wishes. Mifuyu tearfully realizes she can still rely on Yachiyo. They thank each other and resolve to move forward together, hoping no further sacrifices will be needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope 2====&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo finds an old photo album while cleaning. She shows it to Iroha, Tsuruno, Sana, Felicia, and Ui. The photos are from seven years ago, when Mikazuki Villa was a boarding house. Iroha notices a girl standing next to Yachiyo and her grandmother—it is Mifuyu with long hair. Yachiyo explains she knew Mifuyu back then and they fought Witches together. Tsuruno is shocked and Yachiyo says they did not leave a good first impression on each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seven Years Ago&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo fights her first Witch. She is scared but determined. Inside the barrier, she finds another Magical Girl crying. The girl is too frightened to fight.

After deducing the impostor can transform, Sae confronts and corners Rena, who reveals the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire investigation was an elaborate setup. Emiri and the others orchestrated the &amp;quot;False Magical Girl&amp;quot; to force Sae into relying on them, worried her refusal to ask for help would lead to disaster. Mitama coordinated the scheme. Though initially frustrated, Sae understands their concern and thanks them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Magia Record Event - The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf|The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo bumps into Tsuruno on a day when school is out. Yachiyo has a job performing in a recorded drama with Sayuki that will be screened on Tanabata. Tsuruno recalls Yachiyo&#039;s poor performance in Karin&#039;s Halloween play and decides to join her to help. Yachiyo welcomes her.&lt;br /&gt;
** On set, Ria and Mayu are assisting with makeup and costumes. Yachiyo recognizes Ria, calls her by name, and praises her work, causing Ria to internally fangirl. Yachiyo grows anxious seeing so many Magical Girls gathered, recalling how a previous production with magical girls turned into a disaster. Tsuruno reassures her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wins over the production team with her exuberance. The play&#039;s co-star drops out, and the director asks Tsuruno to take the role. She eagerly accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a fairy tale about an ancient Mizuna legend. Two girls, Tsuyu and Chizuru, befriend each other despite their families&#039; rivalry and join forces to punish a selfish lord. Yachiyo plays Tsuyu, the ice queen with a heart of gold. Tsuruno plays Chizuru, the cheerful and impetuous girl. Sayuki plays the Magpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** During the script reading, everyone realizes Yachiyo&#039;s acting skills are still terrible. Yachiyo confides that she has turned down many acting jobs but accepted this one because the director begged her, even if she flops. She vows to see it through to expand her repertoire. Tsuruno promises to stay by her side.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria is in shock seeing her idol perform poorly. The filmmakers work around it by taking away Yachiyo&#039;s lines. Ria confronts Yachiyo and Tsuruno after the reading, declaring she will give Yachiyo an acting bootcamp. She does not want Yachiyo&#039;s performance to drag down her makeup work or her reputation as Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at home, Yachiyo reviews the script. Tsuruno explains the Mizuna fairy tale to the rest of Mikazuki. Felicia becomes interested when she learns there are fight scenes. Tsuruno explains that the day Tsuyu and Chizuru teamed up was Tanabata, and people in Kamihama entrust their wishes to them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next week or so, Yachiyo is drilled on acting with a professional coach and Ria&#039;s guidance. She eventually executes her lines perfectly and Ria is relieved.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sea is a Link Through Time /  The Call of the Open Sea===&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. There&#039;s two different versions at hand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Momoko and Mitama arrive at a resort near a village with a legend about a Diviner who eloped with a sailor and sank with stolen treasure. Mitama reveals they are actually there to hunt for this treasure based on a fairy tale Mikage heard. While exploring the private beach, they encounter Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao from the Tokime Clan, who stumbled there by accident. The group decides to spend the day together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|The Call of the Open Sea]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, they attend a festival in a nearby village that turns out to be a branch of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka learns the villagers consider Diviners a superstition. Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Big Sis, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Felicia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward. Kyubey finds a fuming Felicia, who decides to hire herself out as a mercenary to other magical girls for money or Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Felicia Mitsuki#Side Story|Felicia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia encounters Asuka and Sasara and defeats a witch for them, but they let her keep the Grief Seed and leave without paying, leaving her frustrated. Kako appears, concerned, but Felicia rejects her harshly and immediately regrets it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia helps defeat the witch and collapses from exhaustion, silently vowing to destroy every witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Touka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Hazuki and Nanaka team up with Ui to teach her how to defeat witches. Ui claims her first victory and receives a grief seed as a reward while Touka and Nemu tag along to offer congratulations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She excitedly shares this revelation with her family and friends and resolves to work hard toward this future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art. The Amanes are relieved, and Tsukuyo suggests they play their flutes at the shrine on the way home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends.

Even the classmate Shigure saved never acknowledged her. They begin to believe magical girls are superior to ordinary humans and deserve recognition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shiguress&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shigure Miyabi#Side Story|Shigure&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Hagumu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hagumu reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. After Walpurgisnacht, the organization dissolved, and many former Feathers joined the Kamihama Magia Union. Hagumu is uncertain, as she believes in Magical Girl Supremacy and cannot accept the Union&#039;s ideology of liberation without sacrifice. Shigure contacts her, asking to meet and talk. Shigure wants to convince Touka and Nemu to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Hagumu is conflicted—she cannot trust the Magius after being exploited, but she also cannot decide what to do. She asks for time to think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hagumu Azumi#Side Story|Hagumu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu meets Maria, a former Magius member who joined the Union. Maria notices Hagumu looks unwell and offers to listen. Hagumu explains her dilemma: she cannot agree with the Union&#039;s ideology, but she also cannot follow Shigure&#039;s plan. Maria suggests Hagumu ask other Magical Girls how they decided. Hagumu recalls her wish was made in haste to save a woman under a Witch&#039;s Kiss, and she regrets not choosing a better wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Moka why she joined the Union. Moka says she joined because she was invited and everyone is kind. Hagumu sees Moka is honest and never doubts people, which is why everyone supports her. Hagumu realizes they are completely different—Moka has people who protect her, while Hagumu feels she has nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Yukika, a former Black Feather, why she declined the Union. Yukika says she did not want to drag others into trouble. Hagumu sees Yukika has strong convictions and follows them, unlike herself. Hagumu feels more discouraged.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches. Hagumu is moved but asks for more time to discuss it with Shigure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hagumu finishes sewing Cinderella&#039;s costume and is praised by her club members. She feels a sense of accomplishment. However, she forgot to order the glass slippers. Her seniors are disappointed but tell her to order them now and make a to-do list next time. Hagumu feels crushed—she finally succeeded at something, only to fail again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu senses a Witch and goes to help. She sees Riko, an elementary schooler, defeating the Witch on her own. Hagumu realizes her ability to fight Witches is not special—any Magical Girl can do it. She feels her &amp;quot;glass slippers&amp;quot; are cracking and shattering. She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Hikarizuka Youth Association, San is treated like a younger sister by the members. The Chairman reveals the Association is facing rumours of shady business and has lost a major sponsor. The Fire Festival may be cancelled. San tells Miyuri about her past—as a child, she was scared of the Festival until Tatsu showed her the beauty of the flames. She joined the Youth Association out of admiration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[San Kagura#Side Story|San&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Years ago, a movement to abolish the Festival arose. San wished to Kyubey to &amp;quot;make the Fire Festival remain,&amp;quot; and the movement died out. However, the Festival is now in trouble again because her wish only solved the immediate crisis. San suggests that if they could make people believe in a visible god, they could restore faith in the Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San and Miyuri try fundraising but fail. San decides to research the god of Hikarizuka Shrine.

San realizes she can become a visible god and spread Magical Girl supremacy to protect the Festival. She decides to contact the new Wings of Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San meets Shigure and Hagumu, who lead the Neo-Magius. They ask her to join as an instructor. San declines, saying she is more suited to being a lieutenant. She receives a message that Tatsu was caught in a violent incident. San rushes back. Sponsors are considering dropping out due to the incident. San decides to negotiate with Miyuri&#039;s father to continue sponsorship just for this year. She kneels and begs him. He agrees but says this will be the last year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The Youth Association cleans up. San learns that everyone has given up on the Festival. Tatsu admits none of them ever saw the god—he only told San that to comfort her as a child. San is shocked but still refuses to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** San tells Himena about her wish and her determination to become a god. She vows to spread Magical Girl supremacy and revive the Fire Festival by any means necessary. Himena approves. San declares she will become a living god, no matter what she has to sacrifice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Miyuri&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena, Alexandra, Hagumu, and Shigure watch as San stretches Miyuri. Miyuri&#039;s loud reactions draw attention. Himena asks about Miyuri&#039;s inline skating. Miyuri explains she started skating as a child because she was bad at running and her parents bought her skates. She fell in love with the feeling of cutting through the wind and quickly improved, eventually competing in freestyle competitions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Miyuri Yukari#Side Story|Miyuri&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s social anxiety worsened. She began experiencing panic attacks at competitions and could no longer compete. Her parents signed her up with the Hikarizuka Youth Association to help her interact with people. There, she met San for the first time. San invited her to dance practice. Miyuri fainted from overexcitement while watching San&#039;s legs. She realized she had a leg fetish and that it triggered her anxiety. She began avoiding San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s skating practice suffered. Her mother suggested she visit the Community Center. Miyuri avoided San again and went outside to practice skating alone at night. She felt free and happy while skating. San saw her dancing in the moonlight and was mesmerized. San decided she wanted to help Miyuri grow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish. San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri learned her new power shortened her experience of anxiety. She became more confident but still fainted easily. She fought Witches alone, often blacking out and going berserk. She encountered the Wings of the Magius while chasing a Witch. Her Doppel emerged. San appeared as the Instructor, defeated the Witch, and fended off the Doppel. San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training. Touka and Nemu suggested San should train Miyuri since she could still hear San&#039;s voice when unconscious. San agreed and became Miyuri&#039;s instructor. Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present) Back at the Community Center, Miyuri finishes her story. She does not regret her wish because it led her to become San&#039;s secret weapon and join Neo-Magius. Himena and the others leave, leaving San and Miyuri alone and Miyuri is mitten with San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Lavi goes shopping with Mikage and Nayuta. At the vegetable shop, the owner thanks Lavi for her gardening advice. A woman gives Lavi fresh eggs as thanks for organic vegetables from Lavi&#039;s grandfather. Mikage notices Lavi knows many housewives. Nayuta realizes she knows little about Lavi&#039;s past.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi explains she used to have a frail body as a child due to an unidentifiable condition. Her grandfather grew organic vegetables, which eased her symptoms. However, a severe storm destroyed the field&#039;s soil, making it impossible to grow vegetables. Lavi wished to restore the soil and became a Magical Girl. Her wish saved the field and gave hope to others. She admits her improved health was partly due to becoming a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage wants to make the newspaper more interesting, so Lavi offers to demonstrate &amp;quot;newsworthy&amp;quot; housework. She cooks lunch while Mikage records. Nayuta and Mikage try to help but ruin the dish with too much seasoning. They are distraught, but Lavi salvages it using cabbage and eggs. The meal is delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After making the newspaper, Nayuta and Mikage fall asleep. Lavi reflects on her past. She reveals that she never found joy in living despite her family&#039;s efforts. Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true. She asks for a little more time in her beloved daily life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Asahi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime Tribe holds a celebration to welcome Asahi. During introductions, Chiharu rambles excitedly about her favorite shows, and Asahi finds herself intrigued. When pressed to share more about herself, Asahi talks about hunting and the importance of minimizing suffering. That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun. Everyone apologizes, and they end the day with a shared dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Alexandra&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Re-analyze and structure this. It is a double-story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra dreams of her school days. She sees her past self smiling and realizes she is dreaming of the time she was in love. In the dream, she discusses love with Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu. Himena shares a romantic story about stargazing with Hiko. When Himena asks about their own love lives, Alexandra begins crying unexpectedly. She denies anything is wrong, but Himena apologizes for being insensitive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Alexandra Kurusu#Side Story|Alexandra&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, Alexandra&#039;s teacher appears—but he looks like Shigure. Other people appear as Himena and Hagumu. She recalls that her teacher was her math teacher and club advisor. He was strict and had a reputation for being scary. Alexandra remembers how she would complain about him with her classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After club activities, Alexandra wants to practice singing more. She goes to the rooftop and finds the teacher there. He allows her to practice under his supervision. They begin meeting regularly on the rooftop. She learns he does not smoke and is careful about his throat. He mentions that being an adult is not that great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A male classmate confesses to Alexandra. She almost accepts but pictures the teacher&#039;s face and realizes she loves someone else. She rejects the classmate. Later, it rains, and the teacher lends her his towel. She realizes she has fallen in love with him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra begins trying to appeal to the teacher daily. She asks about his relationship status and learns he is single. She indirectly describes him when talking about her type. She leaves a love letter in his shoe locker. He thinks it is a prank but recognizes her handwriting. She keeps trying to convey her feelings, but he never takes her seriously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra&#039;s behavior becomes obvious in class. She eagerly volunteers to answer questions and is overly happy when called on. Her classmates are amazed she can talk to the scary teacher so cheerfully. She learns everyone fears him. She asks why he became a teacher, and he admits his parents were teachers and he had wanted to be a singer but never pursued it. He wonders if there is any meaning to his life. Alexandra feels sorrow and wants him to be happy. She begins planning to improve his reputation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey appears and offers to grant any wish. Alexandra wants to capture the teacher&#039;s heart through her own efforts. She decides not to make a wish yet. She organizes a surprise birthday party for him with her classmates. He is genuinely happy and thanks her. He realizes she planned it. She tells him all the students respect him. He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra continues her jokes and attempts to get closer to the teacher. She jokes about marriage and asks for a date on the school trip. He unexpectedly agrees to go shopping with her for a few minutes. She hugs him in excitement. A classmate spots them on the rooftop. Rumors spread quickly. The principal calls the teacher in. He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra cannot wake up from the dream. She imagines the teacher scolding her for playing with his feelings. She decides she needs to apologize in real life. She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love. She tells him her feelings were not a deception—they were true love. She thanks him for a wonderful time and says she now only places her faith in Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home. Lavi approves of her standing her ground, and Nayuta realizes she and Lavi are more alike than she thought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, classmates who used to bully her avoid her, but Mikage is determined to find Magical Girl friends. Himika tells her about Emiri’s counseling center, so they go there together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the center, Emiri, Sasara, Asuka, and Kanoko are delighted to meet Mitama’s little sister. Mikage explains she is looking for a friend, but Emiri points out they are already her friends. After some banter about fashion, Mikage tries on Kanoko’s outfits and has a wonderful time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mikage wonders if the older girls truly see her as a friend or just as a kid. Himika suggests she meet girls her own age like Ui, Touka, and Nemu, though Mikage is uncertain about befriending the geniuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When she returns home, Mitama warns her that Ui has been kidnapped by Promised Blood and forbids Mikage from associating with the Kamihama Magia Union. Mikage reluctantly agrees but is frustrated her efforts to make friends have been stopped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama leaves for work and Mikage accuses her of hypocrisy—Mitama can spend time with the KMU while Mikage cannot. She runs out, declaring she will find a new big sister. She finds Emiri’s office closed but runs into Rika and Ren, who quickly realize she is Mitama’s sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Mikage bond over fashion and go to some cheap stores, where Mikage realizes she left her wallet. They play a crane game instead, and Rika wins stuffed animals for Ren and Mikage. Mikage asks Rika to be her big sister; Rika declines but encourages her to talk to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory. Kanoko lets her help make a pendant, but before Mikage can convince her to become her sister, Mitama arrives and drags her home. Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any. Later, she finds Mitama has made all her favorite foods, and they reconcile off‑screen; Mikage gives Mitama the pendant she made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage declares she will not give up on making Kamihama Magia Union friends. She then decides that since Lavi and Nayuta are older, they can be her big sisters instead. They exchange a look and agree to treat her for one day. Mikage expresses her hope that someday she and Sudachi can play with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yozuru plays piano at a pharmacist’s request, impressing everyone, then meets Livia Medeiros and Sudachi Sawa. Sudachi exposes Mifuyu, who decides to introduce herself directly. Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yozuru meets Livia and Sudachi again. Yozuru worries she lacks the kindness to be a good coordinator, but Livia encourages her. Sudachi’s stomach rumbles, and Yozuru prepares snacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yozuru replies that her mother trained her to face worse and declares she will live to the fullest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited again. She jokes about the visitor&#039;s persistence. Yozuru and Sudachi return from stocking up on essentials. Sudachi trips, and Yozuru hesitates to help. Livia instructs Yozuru to help Sudachi stand and dust her off. Yozuru apologizes and explains she is not equipped with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the trailer, Yozuru offers tea. Sudachi wants teacakes. Livia allows them to have some as a treat. Livia reflects that she needs to help the girls mature. Yozuru has lost compassion, while Sudachi needs to find her words. Livia believes they will complement each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is found sleeping and crying. Yozuru gives her a handkerchief. Livia says crying in sleep happens occasionally and is common among Coordinators. She thanks Sudachi for finding her dropped ring. Sudachi sulks when Livia refuses to give her sweets as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the ring is a treasure and a way of reprimanding herself. It is the reason she lives for &amp;quot;Mister Sun.&amp;quot; She says she may tell the full story another time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia shares her philosophy: no matter how awful life is, do not drift in a bad direction or relieve resentment with a curse. Magical Girls are born from hope and must overcome struggles with hope. She warns against corrupting purity and urges supporting those with pure hearts. She says she has said enough for now and will share the rest when she is ready. She asks the visitor to promise to live strong, face forward, and not end up like her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Lil&#039; Kyubey returns to Mikazuki Villa. Touka and Nemu are exhausted. They conclude Lil&#039; Kyubey may feel things and have sociality, but cannot reach a firm conclusion.

Lil&#039; Kyubey later meets Hazuki and gives her KamihaManju, but Hazuki refuses, saying she is on a diet and does not want Lil&#039; Kyubey contacting her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo loses sight of Lil&#039; Kyubey. She finds a girl with potential who may have received a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and helps fight the Witch alongside Nanaka. After the battle, Nanaka explains Lil&#039; Kyubey followed her into the labyrinth and returned a flower she dropped. Nanaka asks Ryo to tell Lil&#039; Kyubey to stop visiting unfriendly Magical Girls. Ryo realizes Lil&#039; Kyubey avoids girls with potential and is not soliciting anyone. She writes an article correcting her earlier suspicions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui writes a &amp;quot;Lil&#039; Kyubey Observation Journal.&amp;quot; She and Lil&#039; Kyubey wake Tsuruno and Felicia by shouting.

It visits various schools with different Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui finishes her journal. Touka and Nemu read it and use it as qualitative data. They debate whether Lil&#039; Kyubey is mimicking humans or simply reinforcing Ui&#039;s actions. Iroha suggests Lil&#039; Kyubey is supporting them in their efforts to free all Magical Girls. Lil&#039; Kyubey agrees, and Iroha thanks it for accompanying them. She says they will continue together from now on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This is also belonging to the anime partly. Write the main part on the magia record and then the second part on the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices.

* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the boy reads the fairy tale Kuroe recommended. He questions a detail in the story, but Kuroe simply accepts it because the writer says so.

* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

That night she begins having a strange dream telling her to go to Kamihama, where Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** That night, Kuroe faces a Witch too powerful for her. Another Magical Girl, Iroha Tamaki, saves her, gives her a Grief Seed, and offers friendship. The kindness reminds Kuroe of the white‑hooded girl and her regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe returns the Grief Seed to Iroha, and they begin working together. They notice no Witches have appeared in Takarazaki for a week—coinciding with Kuroe’s dreams of Kamihama. Seeing online comments from other Magical Girls heading there, Kuroe decides to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe and Iroha go to Kamihama together but nearly die against an unusually strong Witch until Yachiyo Nanami saves them. Yachiyo warns them to stay out. At home, Kuroe watches a video by Touka Satomi of the Wings of the Magius, who promise a world where Magical Girls no longer need to fight. The message comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kuroe turns in her essay, which suggests separating students who enjoy school from those who do not. Her teacher tries to help, but Kuroe snaps about always having to pretend. She says she is going to die tomorrow and runs off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe dreams of Iroha, though she cannot understand her words. Her Doppel reflects that her contract gave her affirmation of existence, yet she still does not feel like anyone - she simply adapts to whatever situation she is in, resented by no one and dependent on no one, but still wondering who she should be. In the dream, Iroha asks what scares her and offers to figure out who Kuroe is together. Kuroe wakes up wondering why she dreamed of the camping trip, and she calls Iroha, deciding she wants to connect with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroeds&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Doppel Story|Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sasara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara is taken hostage at knifepoint in a convenience store. Despite her desire to be a knight, she is too terrified to act. Though the police arrest the criminal and she is safe, Sasara feels ashamed and hates herself for her cowardice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sasara Minagi#Side Story|Sasara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sasara meets Kyubey and when he makes his offer, Sasara accepts without hesitation. As her father works for an emergency rescue squad, a job she admires, he gave her a favorite picture book about a knight who defeats a dragon to save a village. Sasara carries this book everywhere and has always wanted to be like her father and the knight. She wishes to become a knight who can protect and save people, asking for a stronger heart and stronger convictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Sasara has been hunting witches and saving their victims ever since making her contract. She calls herself the Knight who protects the people of Kamihama, but over time her feelings become tainted. The people she rescues never remember what happened and do not acknowledge her. Sasara realizes she wants someone to appreciate her and questions whether she really wanted to become a knight at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book. She thought she could accept the people she helped not talking to her, but now it feels like she does not even exist. When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nanaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Needs to be re-checked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako to ask for their help fighting a witch they all share a connection to. To explain why she needs them, Nanaka tells them how she became a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka&#039;s father headed a traditional Japanese flower arranging school, but when he fell ill, senior students took over and grew the school&#039;s popularity while abandoning its traditions, shutting out Nanaka&#039;s family entirely. On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform. She decided to lay the Soul Gem with its owner&#039;s body, and when she placed the gem in the girl&#039;s hands, the girl began breathing again. Later, Kyubey explained that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Kyubey asks if Nanaka will tell the others this secret, but she says she is waiting for the right moment. Nanaka then reflects that her true revenge target is actually Kyubey himself. Her power makes it clear he is her enemy, though she does not know all the details, and she is waiting for the right time to turn against him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Nanaka&#039;s team is still unable to find the witch. Akira reports meeting a magical girl mercenary. As the girls plan their next move, Nanaka muses about how she is gathering the determination of magical girls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Re-check.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuku enjoys time with her friends but feels disconnected from them and uncertain about her future. She finds comfort in Fūnī, a traveler who visits her family&#039;s cafe and shares his dream of finding a place to belong. When he invites her to search with him, she feels hopeful that she will not be alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* As a magical girl, Shizuku gains the power to connect spaces, allowing her to travel the world much like Fūnī once did. She continues her search, taking jobs from an unknown magical girl who pays her to use her power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day after a job, Yachiyo Nanami, Tsuruno Yui, and Iroha Tamaki approach her. Iroha invites Shizuku to their house, where she meets Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba. She stays for dinner and overnight, observing how the five girls live together like a family. Yachiyo invites her to stay as long as she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku realizes the other girls have found their place to belong, but she understands that her own place was with Fūnī. She cries as his last words finally make sense to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, Shizuku ends her arrangement with the unknown magical girl and returns to Yachiyo&#039;s house, hoping she can stay there. When she arrives, the house is empty, and she sees the personal items that mark each girl&#039;s place. Overhearing them return, she realizes their home is complete with five people and she does not belong there. She leaves quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and the others had prepared a welcome party with cake, but Shizuku never comes. Yachiyo senses that Shizuku might disappear if you look away and admits she should have seen this coming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku returns to the unknown magical girl and asks for more work. When asked why she came back, she says their picture was complete with five people and she must keep searching for where she belongs. She mentally apologizes to Yachiyo, knowing her actions will cause disaster but feeling unprepared to take responsibility. She wonders if she will ever find solid ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Akira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After Nanaka and Sasara contracts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Akira wakes from a dream about being attacked by a familiar and finds Sasara Minagi nearby, who is out for a walk. Sasara offers to help Akira search for an old man&#039;s lost cane, recalling she saw children playing with a red cane, and the two head off together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akira Shinobu#Side Story|Akira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akira reflects on her upbringing in her father&#039;s karate dojo, where she learned to always help those in need and earned the neighborhood nickname &amp;quot;Troubleshooter&amp;quot; starting at age six.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira started middle school, a girl asked her to be a bodyguard against a stalker. The girl brought her to a park, confessed her love, and admitted to lying about the stalker. Akira politely rejected her, saying she didn&#039;t know much about that sort of thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Akira learned the girl had vanished and spent days searching for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day Akira found the barrier, she retraced the girl&#039;s steps in the park and stepped into a witch&#039;s labyrinth. She found the missing girl among blank-faced victims marked by a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Kyubey appeared, explained about witches and magical girls, and offered a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Familiars attacked and overwhelmed her despite her karate training. Injured, Akira wished to save all those people, transformed, and destroyed the familiars.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, none of the victims remembered the incident. Kyubey told Akira she needed to defeat the witch itself, which became her destiny as a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a magical girl, Akira patrolled Kamihama investigating witch-related incidents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day, she encountered a familiar without transforming and dropped her Soul Gem. Unable to retrieve it, she fled the barrier and collapsed unconscious outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira woke, Nanaka Tokiwa introduced herself as the magical girl who found her and picked up her Soul Gem. Nanaka advised withdrawing since Akira had collapsed, and Akira reluctantly agreed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Nanaka called asking for a favor. When they met again, Nanaka requested a duel, claiming Akira was weak and should quit hunting witches. Akira refused, citing her family&#039;s dojo, and they dueled. After some fighting, Nanaka ended the duel and apologized. She explained she wanted to test Akira&#039;s resolve and invited her to work together as a team. Akira relented after Nanaka claimed she was troubled and couldn&#039;t fight witches alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present day, Akira returns the cane to the old man and thanks Sasara. She reflects on meeting many magical girls since joining Nanaka and wonders how many exist in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Manaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes Manaka cooking at her family&#039;s failing restaurant, Walnuts. She dreams of following her father&#039;s footsteps as a chef and believes that gaining admission to the prestigious St. Lillianna Academy will help her cook like a high class lady and restore the restaurant&#039;s popularity. Kyubey notes her poor grades make passing unlikely, but Manaka insists this is her father&#039;s last chance and resolves to study.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Manaka Kurumi#Side Story|Manaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Upon starting at Mizuna, Manaka visits the student council and offers to cook for an upcoming joint assembly with St. Lillian. The council dismisses her, explaining they already arranged a chef.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Walking home, Kyubey again offers a contract. Fed up, Manaka accepts but wishes not for the restaurant&#039;s success, but for a chance to spread their restaurant&#039;s flavors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the assembly, Manaka begins selling popular bentos at school and works as a visiting chef at St. Lillian every Thursday.

Meanwhile, her father receives invitations to tour as a chef and seems genuinely happy traveling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt; Manaka questions why she even bothered trying.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Manaka finishes selling bentos and keeps one for herself. Sana Futaba rushes in, upset at arriving too late.

Sana accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana promises to arrive earlier tomorrow, but Manaka reveals this may be her last day selling bentos. She admits she thinks she made her restaurant even more obscure, and if she is not helping it, she sees no point in cooking.

Seeing Sana smile gives Manaka new motivation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After contracts of: Kako, Manaka&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A documentary crew follows Ria Ami, whose natural beauty causes crowds to part, though she admits she has no basis for comparison when asked about her challenges. Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ria asks Manaka to be her bodyguard while buying the magazine featuring her article, wearing sunglasses to avoid being seen. Inside, she discovers her article occupies only one page, while Yachiyo has an eight-page spread.

After they defeat it, Himika Mao arrives late, introduces herself, and asks if they are sisters; Hazuki explains they are not. Himika mentions she is thirteen with five younger siblings. When Ayame asks about being an older sister, Himika invites her to meet her family. Konoha asks to come as Ayame&#039;s guardian upon learning Himika cooks for her family, and Himika accepts. Hazuki says she will prepare dinner at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, at Himika&#039;s house, Konoha and Ayame observe the cramped living space. Himika explains she uses cheap leftover meat blends from a disposal man to feed her family. She serves dinner, and all her siblings along with Ayame eat. When Konoha asks if the food is tasty, the siblings say they never think it&#039;s bad because Himika does her best. Konoha reflects on Azalea&#039;s House and realizes she was too focused on theory rather than on who she was cooking for. She thanks Himika and leaves with Ayame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, Ayame and Hazuki find Konoha cooking again. Konoha promises to give up if she fails this time. Focusing on her feelings rather than theory, she makes a meal from Azalea&#039;s. Hazuki and Ayame try it and say it&#039;s bad, but it&#039;s edible. Konoha is excited that someone could actually eat her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ayame returns home to find Konoha cooking again. Hazuki observes that Konoha has found joy in the act of cooking. Konoha narrates that she learned cooking is about heart, and could now make food people could finish. She thinks cooking is fun, though Ayame and Hazuki sometimes scream loud enough to startle the neighbors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Konoha attempts beef stroganoff, a dish Hazuki admits is difficult. Hazuki and Ayame try it and collapse. Konoha says she will redo it. She narrates that experience matters, and wonders what to try next.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hazuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame meet with Nanaka, Meiyui, Akira, and Kako at a restaurant to discuss how to handle situations where both teams target the same Witch. Meiyui proposes a first-come, first-served rule, but Hazuki points out it would lead to disputes over who arrived first. Ayame suggests settling conflicts with rock-paper-scissors, and though Meiyui argues there&#039;s no time for games in battle, Hazuki has them try it on the spot. When Ayame and Meiyui play, Meiyui uses a martial arts technique to change Ayame&#039;s hand, causing an argument between the groups. Hazuki calms everyone down and suggests they go home for the day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hazuki Yusa#Side Story|Hazuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls reconvene at the restaurant. Hazuki proposes a new rule: anyone who uses magic against a Witch gains proportional rights to the Grief Seed. Both teams agree, and Hazuki suggests they gather data by hunting together. They split into mixed teams—Ayame and Kako form one; Hazuki, Akira, and Meiyui another and Konoha and Nanaka stand by to help as needed. After the successful joint hunt, Nanaka meets with Hazuki alone at the restaurant. She reveals she believes Hazuki manipulated the entire situation from the first meeting, noting that her team was impressed with Hazuki&#039;s group&#039;s teamwork but that she herself was more struck by Hazuki&#039;s modus operandi. Nanaka asks why Hazuki orchestrated everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki admits she wanted Konoha, who is introverted, to connect with others and that after the Witch fight, Konoha seemed genuinely happy. She explains her goal was simply to build connections between her group and other Kamihama Magical Girls. Nanaka accepts this and says she&#039;s glad to work with her. Later, Hazuki writes in her notebook that Nanaka is shrewd but fascinating, and she resolves to continue reaching out to other Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ayame&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame encounters Felicia during a Witch fight, and their rivalry quickly escalates when Felicia dismisses Ayame&#039;s challenge to lead the girls to argue and accidentally let the Witch escape. Frustrated by losing to Felicia specifically, Ayame confronts her afterward, and despite Kako&#039;s attempts to mediate, the two insist on settling things through some competition. Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch. Emerging back in the park, Felicia thanks Ayame, and they realize the race was never finished. They resume, but Ayame admits she&#039;s fine with not winning and she has come to accept Felicia as a strong rival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ayamess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ayame Mikuri#Side Story|Ayame&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Masara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro gives Masara cookies simply because she wants to, leaving Masara confused by the gesture. Masara flashes back to their first meeting, when Kokoro had blamed herself for being unable to protect others and Masara told her she should not carry that guilt. Kokoro had asked to stay by Masara&#039;s side, explaining that those words had saved her. In the present, Kokoro asks what Masara is thinking about, and when Masara admits she was remembering their first meeting, Kokoro smiles. Masara does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Masara Kagami#Side Story|Masara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara visits Mitama for magical strengthening, bringing many Grief Seeds with her. Mitama notes her unusual enthusiasm, and Masara explains she wants to get stronger in order to find something that might change her life. Mitama suggests she try attending a summer festival and hands her a flyer, but Masara shows no interest. When Mitama brings up Kokoro, mentioning that Kokoro has talked about her, Masara insists they are merely working together, not friends, and finds Kokoro&#039;s expectations troublesome. Mitama claims Masara is actually worried about Kokoro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara reflects on her childhood, remembering how her parents had her swim from a young age. Despite showing talent, she never felt any joy or sense of accomplishment, though she continued hoping it might eventually change. It never did. She became a magical girl thinking her dull life might finally become interesting, but even that eventually grew boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead. The Witch targets Kokoro, and Masara injures herself by blocking the attack. The Witch escapes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro apologizes, but Masara claims she only did what was most logical, since the Witch could not have been defeated alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Masara keeps flashing back to the moment the Witch attacked Kokoro whenever she looks at her injury. The recurring memory bothers her, though she does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Kokoro offers to hunt the Witch again with Masara. Masara flashes back to the previous fight and insists she will hunt it alone. She tells Kokoro she is a burden and that she does not like getting hurt. Masara leaves Kokoro crying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara tells Mitama what happened. Mitama suggests Masara was actually trying to protect Kokoro. Masara is at a loss and wonders why being around Kokoro causes her to get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro blames herself for causing Masara trouble. She senses the same Witch and, respecting Masara&#039;s wish to hunt alone, decides to fight it by herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help. Masara agrees and tells Kokoro to call her next time. When Kokoro worries about causing trouble, Masara insists she is doing it for herself, because she does not like seeing Kokoro get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro asks if she can call Masara during lunch. Masara says she does not care either way. The two go to Mitama&#039;s place together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro notices the summer festival flyer and asks if Masara is interested. Masara admits she is a little interested. Mitama laughs and says they can look forward to the future when there is something or someone important. Kokoro and Masara are confused by her comment, which exasperates Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks to herself that Masara will become stronger now that she has something to protect. For the first time, Masara finds herself thinking about the future, though she does not know why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Konomi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi welcomes Kaede and Kako to the flower shop where she works part-time. She began working at Blossom because the florist once comforted her as a crying child with a single flower, and now Konomi does the same for other children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konomi Haruna#Side Story|Konomi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a customer leaves, Kaede and Kako help the florist carry supplies. The florist recently returned from the hospital, having survived a serious illness. Konomi remembers the day she found an ambulance outside and learned the shop might close. Desperate to help, she wished to Kyubey to cure the florist&#039;s illness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls notice customers bearing a Witch&#039;s Kiss, track down the Witch, and destroy it together. Konomi reflects that she can be a Magical Girl because of Kaede and Kako, her dearest companions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to find a long line waiting. Ever since Konomi&#039;s wish, the shop has drawn many young customers. Grateful, Konomi thinks back to when the girls first entered.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;!--The Flashback: Their First Meeting--&amp;gt;Kaede and Kako visit the shop for the first time. Kako searches for a specific flower, which Konomi identifies. During tea break, Kako explains she read about the flowers in a novel and wants to buy some for a friend&#039;s birthday. Kaede admits she has never given flowers but receiving them once felt wonderful. Konomi smiles and says she has an idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of the flower giveaway, Konomi, Kaede, and Kako take to the streets, suddenly appearing to hand bouquets to strangers before disappearing. A lottery winner, a despairing old man, and a boy who just got a girl&#039;s number all receive flowers. Later, the girls reunite. Kaede gave to ten people, Kako to thirteen. Konomi apologizes, but they agree to try again the day after tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, before their next giveaway, a girl asks Konomi about the Bursting Flower Girl, a rumored figure who appears on Tuesdays and Thursdays to hand out flowers that supposedly sprout mouths. Konomi, Kaede, and Kako realize they are the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi panics, fearing they have made people hate flowers. They notice a little girl crying because her mother refused to buy her a toy ring. Konomi offers a flower, but the girl wants a ring. Kako fashions the flower into a ring, and the girl calls it pretty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi realizes they have been giving flowers without understanding what recipients truly want. She decides to create something more meaningful. Inspired by Kaede&#039;s mention of birthday flowers and Kako&#039;s knowledge of flower language, they plan an arrangement that speaks to people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi and the girls create a birthday cake made of fifty flowers, with chocolate and candy inside. The cake incorporates birth flowers so greetings can be communicated through their language. They prepare a fair at the shop to showcase it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi shows the cake to the florist, who gives a muted reaction and announces her retirement, planning to leave Konomi the shop.

The three girls reveal they are Magical Girls, track down the Witch, and destroy it together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Hinano, Emiri, Ria, Manaka, Akira&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Rika is invited to a blind date by Emiri Kisaki, who brings along Hinano Miyako, a girl recently heartbroken. When the boys on the date mock Hinano&#039;s youthful appearance and odd way of speaking, Rika surprises her by defending them. Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her. Emiri and Rika quickly reassure Hinano, with Rika adding that Hinano is actually cool for having been able to confess her feelings—unlike Rika, who never confessed at all and watched her crush end up with someone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri then suggests Rika should make a wish, revealing that she and Hinano are magical girls who each received one wish in exchange for fighting monsters. Rika wonders if this is some kind of game. Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika muses that her wish was granted and she is now dating her crush, yet she feels deeply unhappy. When Kyubey asks what is wrong, she admits that every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens with unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mayu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mayu is a third-year student at Mizuna Academy who works part-time at the Kamihama Contemporary Art Museum. When she accidentally breaks the museum director&#039;s cup, her boss handles the situation calmly and kindly. After work, she meets her friend Sayuki Fumino outside the museum, and when Sayuki cannot stay, Mayu&#039;s boss offers to accompany her to an exhibit instead. They later go to a cafe, where Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi are also present. Ria grows increasingly annoyed overhearing Mayu&#039;s conversation with her boss, particularly when he hints at wanting to take her somewhere else and praises her cooking. At home that evening, Mayu cooks for her mother and asks if her father would have eaten her cooking, wondering what life would be like if he were still alive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayu Kozue#Side Story|Mayu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at school, Mayu talks with Sayuki about the sword exhibit. She then heads to work, and after her shift ends, her boss mentions his wife and child are away and invites her out to eat. Mayu declines. As she leaves, she forgets her phone, and her boss rushes to return it, asking again about dinner with growing intensity. Ria suddenly appears and bumps into him, yelling at them for flirting and demanding they sit for a lecture. Mayu&#039;s boss says she ruined it and leaves. Ria warns Mayu that her sweet, innocent air attracts older men and that if things continue, his family will fall apart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home that night, Mayu reflects on the day she learned of her father&#039;s death and on Ria&#039;s words. Kyubey appears and offers a contract. Thinking she does not want her boss&#039;s family to suffer the same hardship her family did, Mayu makes her wish: to stop his family from breaking apart. That night, she narrates that her boss transferred to a new job, and she is sure her wish was granted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later at school, Mayu finds boys have started hitting on her. Ria constantly steps in to drive them off. Before Ria can finish telling Mayu to shape up, they both sense a Witch. The girls reveal they are Magical Girls, and they track the Witch to the museum&#039;s special exhibit room. Sayuki suddenly appears and reveals she is also a Magical Girl. During the fight, Mayu notices the Witch only targets Ria. She asks Sayuki to lend her strength and launches a surprise attack, destroying the Witch. Afterward, Mayu thinks that to protect people she must think clearly before acting, and Ria admits Mayu was more reliable than usual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As a child, Sayuki attends an idol performance with her parents, but when the crowd becomes dangerously wild, she is almost squeezed to death, leaving her with lasting trauma.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayuki Fumino#Side Story|Sayuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Growing up in a happy family, Sayuki develops a deep interest in katanas that creates a gap between her and her classmates. Though they respect her passion, she feels lonely without someone to share it with. This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert.

===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka. Moka thanks Alina for saving her and says she has now made new friends, resolving to devote herself to exterminating witches and admitting she is only a little afraid of them now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Riko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Sis = Miss K. Check what Exedra says&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Years ago, Riko spent her childhood with a cheerful older neighbor girl she called &amp;quot;Sis&amp;quot; while her parents worked long hours at their family bento shop. They grew as close as sisters until Sis became engaged to marry someone far away. When Sis&#039;s father suddenly opposed the match despite approving it before, Riko wished upon Kyubey that everyone would give their blessings to the marriage. Her wish worked, and Sis moved away happily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Riko Chiaki#Side Story|Riko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Riko struggles with loneliness waiting alone at home while her parents work overtime. One night, after they call to say they cannot return until after midnight due to a huge order, years of broken promises finally overwhelm her. She snaps, calls them liars who were never there for her like Sis was, and tells them she hates them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko goes Witch hunting to vent her stress but nearly dies against a stronger Witch. In that moment, despair crushes her and she wishes she had never made her wish so Sis would still be there. Tsukasa, a regular at her family&#039;s shop, finds her crying and listens as Riko confides everything about her feelings and what happened with Sis. Speaking from experience, Tsukasa tells her that separation is no excuse for broken contact and recommends she reach out to Sis directly. Riko messages Sis that night before falling asleep exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sis replies promptly. She explains she wanted to contact Riko but left home after arguing with her father and thought a visit would be awkward. She also reveals she was hospitalized to give birth and only discharged that day, inviting Riko to come see her instead. When Riko asks her parents for permission, expecting them to refuse, they apologize sincerely and grant permission for the trip.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Riko visits Sis with her parents. Sis introduces her husband and newborn daughter, hoping Riko will get along with her child just as they once got along. Riko makes a silent promise to be a good sister to this baby and aims to grow into a fine lady, just like Sis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maria&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Maria bids her parents goodbye for the day. Her mother gives her money for dinner, which Maria insists on keeping only a small portion of, and Maria mentions she will be at her part‑time daycare job after school. On her way to school, she runs into two little girls, one of whom attends the daycare where she works.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the daycare, the children swarm Maria with requests. She notices a boy named Shin‑kun looking down and tries to find out what is wrong, but he does not want to talk. Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work. Maria suggests she spend a day with Shin to reconnect, and Shin’s mother agrees. Maria promises to put together a plan by the weekend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Maria’s classmates tease her about being a widow with a love child, and she plays along before explaining she is helping a mother and son from the daycare. Later she presents her weekend plans to Shin’s mother, who is impressed and begins looking forward to the outing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, Maria goes to the park where she knows Shin and his mother should be. She watches as they struggle to connect: Shin wants to play in a fountain, but his mother cannot explain why he should not, and they end up standing awkwardly. Maria pretends to run into them and decides to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to the playground, where Maria encourages Shin to try a tightrope bridge. When he gets nervous, she prompts his mother to take his hand, and together they cross. After lunch, Shin’s mother gets a call from work asking her to come in on her day off. She agrees, and Shin looks heartbroken. Maria offers to watch Shin until dark, and his mother gratefully accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria takes Shin to various places, and he sadly remarks that his mother is too busy for him. Understanding his loneliness, Maria vows to make the day special. At the aquarium she convinces him to see a show he ends up loving. As evening falls, they stop for takoyaki, and Maria explains that his mother tells him not to eat while walking for good reasons. Shin finally understands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shin’s mother appears, explaining work no longer needs her. She admits she has trouble expressing herself, but Shin overhears and hugs her. They both confess they thought the other did not love them. Maria shares that she was often lonely as a child but still loved her parents, and she tells Shin’s mother she does not need to be perfect. Shin shows his mother the souvenir and the last piece of takoyaki he saved for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As darkness falls, Maria walks home alone. She reflects on whether she could ever be a good mother, remembering Kyubey’s revelation that her Soul Gem is her actual soul and her body is merely a vessel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mel&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mel stays home after her reading warns of lethal danger, but Kanagi dismisses her concerns and drags her to school anyway. On the way, a Witch targets only Mel before escaping, and a possessed car then attempts to run her down. She flees west into the Mizuno region, where Yachiyo saves her. Despite Kanagi&#039;s warnings about discrimination from the West, Yachiyo&#039;s kindness puts her at ease, and Mel accepts her invitation to stay. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she requests to join Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kanagi gives permission. From that day, Mel bonds with Mifuyu, Tsuruno, and Momoko as part of her new team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One other day, Mel arrives excitedly with entirely positive readings and offers to read the team&#039;s fortunes. Despite Yachiyo&#039;s skepticism, Mel coaxes her into a session predicting a career breakthrough.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Yachiyo announces with disbelief that she was chosen for a nationwide magazine feature on Kamihama&#039;s cafes. Mifuyu and Momoko then receive positive readings about a matchmaking and exam results.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes. Afterward they visit Mitama, who suggests they train in Endless Mirrors if they plan to remain independent rather than join Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Temari and Mikura commute to school exhausted. Temari stayed up testing a new metal pen, and Mikura correctly guesses she is in modern literature mode.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Temari is distracted thinking about Witch strategies while Mikura worries about Seira, who had fallen asleep in class from exhaustion. Seira joins them, and Temari suggests they create their own space to escape the stress of magical girl life. Seira proposes forming a school club where they can pursue their hobbies freely, and they agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Seira secures an empty classroom as a provisional club room under the name Historical Research Club. On paper they study history, but in reality it becomes their oasis for reading, watching films, and relaxing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the girls are enjoying their club activities, yet Temari still feels unsettled about not knowing her magic. Mikura reflects that they have been following Temari’s suggestions lately—staying independent, creating the club—but says she will mention it if she notices anything. When Mikura asks what Temari is reading, Temari replies she is still on the same author, and Mikura calls her as unpredictable as ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Last part is after the tea drinking moon party&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hotori and her twin Rion prepare for a school camping trip. Hotori gets distracted watching her favorite sentai show, Dragoon Red, and Rion teases her for still liking children’s fantasy. Hotori wants to bring her notebook of heroic quotes, but Rion tells her not to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At camp, Hotori’s group hikes through the forest. She is frightened by insects, and when Rion appears and drives her friends away, Hotori ends up scolded for letting her sister interfere. Reading quotes from her heroes, she manages to calm herself and finishes the hike feeling she has changed a little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During archery, Hotori struggles to pull the bowstring but remembers Dragoon Red’s words about perseverance and manages to shoot. Rion performs better, but Hotori’s friends cheer her up. Rion later mentions the night’s test of courage, and though Hotori is scared, she refuses to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

There Hotori realizes she left her notebook behind; Rion goes back to retrieve it but does not return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotori lies to the teachers and searches the forest. She finds Kyubey, who offers her a contract: any wish in exchange for becoming a magical girl who fights witches. When she finds Rion acting strangely, Kyubey explains Rion has a witch’s kiss. Rion enters a witch’s barrier, and Hotori follows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Months later, Hotori now fights witches with a team. During one battle she freezes and is saved by Rion and Yukika Nanase. Yukika asks about Hotori’s notebook, and Hotori explains she wants to be brave like the sentai heroes. Yukika privately knows the truth from another timeline: the twins’ memories were altered by Rion’s wish, and Hotori’s original wish may have been to become strong enough to protect Rion. Hotori, unaware, continues striving to be a hero.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Riko later invites her to an accessory shop in Sakae Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ashleyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ashley Taylor#Side Story|Ashley&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shop, Ashley admires a gurokawa hairclip and explains the style to Riko. They run into Emiri Kisaki and Rika Ayano, who nickname her Ash. Rika tells them about a spot in Hokuyo Ward famous among manga fans.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ashleyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ashley Taylor#Side Story|Ashley&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At that spot, Ashley and Riko bond over Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and meet Karin Misono, another fan. The three explore together before Ashley and Riko part ways with Karin.

** Riko’s parents give Ashley croquettes as thanks. Watching Riko with her family makes Ashley homesick. She confides that her mother is an actress who often visited Japan, sparking Ashley’s love for kawaii culture. Her father opposed her studying abroad without explanation, so Ashley wished for his approval with Kyubey and became a magical girl. She feels guilty about it now. Riko suggests she make a vlog of her time in Kamihama to show her father how happy she is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ashleyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ashley Taylor#Side Story|Ashley&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

He says he watched the video and gives his wholehearted support for her studies abroad, making her tear up with joy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ashleyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ashley Taylor#Side Story|Ashley&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Ashley receives a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear. Before she can enjoy it, her mother video calls with the news that her father has passed away. Ashley realizes he was ill and had lost weight when they last spoke. She regrets her wish, believing it cost her time with him. The teddy bear falls over, and she takes it as a sign to honor his last words: to do what she loves most in the place she loves so much.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ashleyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ashley Taylor#Side Story|Ashley&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ikumi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On an unnamed day, Ikumi feels sad that her Magius robes hide her cuteness and searches for Ryo, finding her in a common room looking upset. Ryo asks to interview Ikumi for a Magius newsletter about why she became a magical girl, and Ikumi agrees in exchange for hearing Ryo&#039;s story later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ikumi Makino#Side Story|Ikumi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi explains how in middle school she dreamed of becoming an idol despite lacking talent, while her friend Yumi dreamed of volleyball. They realized they could fulfill each other&#039;s dreams instead. Yumi became a volleyball ace while Ikumi pursued idol training, though she struggled because her natural personality kept slipping through her cutesy act and she failed to gain recognition. Kyubey repeatedly offered her a contract, but she refused because wishing for her dream would mean she never achieved it through hard work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In high school, Ikumi worked at a school-organized maid cafe that gave struggling students performance opportunities. Though other girls were scouted for idol work and customers called her old-fashioned, she built a small fanbase. When the cafe was forced to close due to building eviction, Ikumi grieved alone on the final night. Kyubey appeared and reminded her that her wish didn&#039;t have to be for her own dream. Thinking of how much the cafe meant to her and others who dreamed there, she wished for it to continue running.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her wish came true when the landowner, moved by the final performance, sold the cafe to the school who remodeled and reopened it. Later, while fighting a witch, Ikumi was saved by another magical girl who turned out to be Yumi. Yumi revealed she had wished for someone to recognize Ikumi&#039;s talents and give her an idol chance. The two teamed up and spent a happy year together hunting witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day they encountered a powerful witch who badly injured Yumi&#039;s leg, threatening her sports scholarship. In despair, Yumi unleashed her doppel. Ryo appeared and helped them escape, and Mitama later explained about doppels. Soon after, Mifuyu approached them with a healer who restored Yumi&#039;s leg. Mifuyu explained about witches and the Wings of Magius, who aimed to liberate magical girls from this fate. Ikumi immediately joined, grateful for Yumi&#039;s healing and hating the thought of losing her dream or becoming a witch. Yumi eventually joined too, and Mifuyu introduced them as Black Feathers to Ryo, who recognized Ikumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Ryo thanks Ikumi for her story and suggests she stop forcing the idol personality since she naturally slips out of it anyway. Ikumi cries about being bullied before realizing she is late for work and runs off, promising to see Ryo tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* At Kosho Academy, Seira Mihono searches for a protagonist with a secret for her new film. Her classmates suggest Rui, a mysterious girl who never talks about herself. Rui, who knows the rumors are untrue, feels guilty.

===Akari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari wakes Hotaru after school. Hotaru notices Akari&#039;s Puchi-Usa keychain, which Haruto drew for her when she was young. Akari decides to tell Hotaru about her wish and how she became a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akari Mai#Side Story|Akari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari explains that she has always loved Haruto, but he treats her only as a little sister. When Haruto entered high school, he stopped walking with her due to club activities. Akari heard a rumor that Haruto was dating his club manager. Distressed, she wished to Kyubey to become 16 years old like Mimiko-chan, the transforming heroine she admired.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her wish only allowed her to transform temporarily. She turned back into an elementary schooler afterward. Akari regretted not wishing for everyone to perceive her as 16 from the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Akari patrolled for Witches and found Haruto under a Witch&#039;s Kiss. She saved him in her 16-year-old form. Haruto did not recognize her and thanked her as a stranger. He gave her his jacket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The bunny Nene died. Akari cried. Haruto came to give her a new Puchi-Usa keychain but hid it when he saw her crying. He comforted her and told her it was okay to cry. Akari loved his kindness and subtle thoughtfulness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari ran into Haruto while patrolling. Haruto was looking for the 16-year-old girl. Akari became jealous and badmouthed her 16-year-old self, calling her suspicious and a liar. Haruto got angry at Akari for speaking ill of someone she did not know. Akari ran away, feeling she was not worthy of him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari hid in an alley. Haruto came looking for her. A Witch appeared, and Haruto was under another Witch&#039;s Kiss. Hotaru appeared and caught Haruto with a pillow before he could jump. Hotaru and Akari defeated the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotaru revealed she had been watching over Akari since the bunny hutch. She told Akari that her kindness was one of her good points. Akari realized the 16-year-old version Haruto fell for was still a part of her. Hotaru encouraged her to apologize properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari, still in her 16-year-old form, lied to Haruto that she had taken Akari under her protection. Haruto was relieved and admitted he was too harsh with Akari. He said he did not want her to become someone who speaks ill of others. Akari apologized to Haruto in person. Haruto forgave her and said he was proud of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari resolved to become a wonderful adult on her own, without magic, and capture Haruto&#039;s heart when she was truly 16. She thanked Hotaru for giving her the push to apologize but Hotaru fell asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ryoko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryoko’s story begins at Suitoku Temple, the Tokime Tribe’s base, which was slated for demolition while officials hid the harm it would cause.

Raised by her grandfather in a strict Buddhist temple, she is told her mother was a hero who saved the country yet died and left her behind.

===Kush&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama’s adjuster shop, Karin Misono finds Kush sleeping inside the tent. Mitama explains that Kush cannot stay awake during the day due to her wish: “I just want the morning to never come.” Kush reveals she made her wish because she longed to live in a fantasy world like the one in her favorite book, &#039;Good‑Bye Fable,&#039; and her magical girl outfit resembles the story’s protagonist. Ui Tamaki and Little Kyubey arrive, and Kush briefly attacks Little Kyubey, mistaking him for the Kyubey she despises. Over tea, Mitama notices Kush’s long canine teeth stained red and later receives a message from her sister Mikage about a rumor of a vampire girl in the Hokuyo Mountains. Karin and Kush agree to investigate together, but Kush runs off to her night class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kush can see in the dark and leads them, but she is still sleepy. They find a discarded camera containing a video of Rui Mizuki dropping it and disappearing. When a mysterious sound frightens the others, they accidentally leave Kush behind. Left alone, Kush eats cherry tomatoes and senses a witch. The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one. They also learn that Rui is Kush’s friend; she had filmed Kush entering the barrier before being caught by it. The group later glimpses a white‑haired silhouette and flees, thinking a real vampire might exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley posts a video warning others to stay away from the mountains. At Mitama’s shop, Ui hears about the incident and learns the vampire was just a misunderstanding.

===Homura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Homura Akemi in Magia Record#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is flooded with more memories of her other self preparing for Walpurgisnacht with allies. She wonders if there might be a real possibility for salvation in this timeline, where no one has to be sacrificed. However, she believes it has nothing to do with her. She breaks out of the labyrinth and the dream ends. Kyubey asks if she was curious about what happened to her other self. Homura says it does not matter; she believes in Madoka&#039;s words that her efforts will not be in vain. A new universe is about to be born, and Homura must protect it for Madoka&#039;s sake. Kyubey states they will both forget Madoka, but Homura is determined to never forget her.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new universe where Witches do not exist, Kyoko is surprised to find Sayaka has disappeared. Mami explains the Law of Cycles causes Magical Girls to disappear when they lose hope. Homura cries as she remembers Madoka, but neither Mami nor Kyoko know who Madoka is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka spend the day together in Kamihama, enjoying each other’s company until they encounter Ria Ami, a model and magical girl who has already defeated the witch they were tracking.

===Ultimate&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart. She also finds Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, who were never supposed to become magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Panicking because she cannot prevent magical girls from becoming witches in this universe, Madoka investigates. She discovers the source blocking her intervention originated when the Holy Quintet first visited Kamihama, and she observes how Touka and Nemu—fated to die in every other universe—are alive and plotting with the Magius to lure Walpurgis Night to hatch Eve. Madoka reflects that their plan, if successful, would achieve what she herself accomplished. Unsure whether to intervene, she decides to investigate further and chooses Iroha as her next focal point, since this is the only universe where Iroha contracted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka observes Iroha’s past and finds the singular difference: on a normal day, Iroha took her usual shortcut but accidentally kicked a small pebble, nearly making her late. This tiny butterfly effect led to Iroha contracting and Ui, Nemu, and Touka surviving, derailing the universe’s fate. Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Oriko sends Kirika to Kamihama under the pretense of buying tea, instructing her to gather information from Mami and other magical girls there. She then takes Yuma to Kamihama herself, leaving her inside a witch barrier knowing Kyoko will come to rescue her. While exploring Kamihama for answers, Oriko nearly dies inside a powerful witch barrier and realizes she needs Kirika&#039;s help to continue.

* After Mitakihara City’s school closing ceremony, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura walk out together. Sayaka is glad the term is over, Madoka is excited, and Homura admits she will feel lonely without seeing them every day. Sayaka ruffles her hair and says they can still meet over break, whether hunting witches or hanging out. Madoka suggests visiting Mizuna Shrine in Kamihama for New Year’s to draw “Ultimate Fortunes.” Sayaka has other plans but encourages them to go together. After she leaves, Madoka asks Homura if she knows how to put on formal wear. Homura does not, so Madoka invites her to a kimono‑dressing class she found, saying she wanted the two of them to dress up with Sayaka but lacked the courage to go alone. Homura agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class, the instructor dresses them first; Madoka thinks Homura looks beautiful, and Homura calls Madoka cute. When the actual lesson begins, Madoka struggles badly and trips, while Homura learns quickly enough that the instructor says she will have no trouble. Madoka takes a break outside, feeling useless. Sayaka happens by and asks why she wanted to dress up in the first place - to have fun. Sayaka tells her not to overthink; even if she makes mistakes, she will still have the memories.

The mission completes, but they are sent back to the start again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes again: help a child who lost something. They find Tsukuyo waiting. She dropped the exchange diary. Homura and Madoka take her to the Information Desk to reclaim it. Madoka remembers Tsukasa was last seen near a specific area. They wait there and finally reunite the twins. They also tell Aimi that Hayato wants a warm scarf. Everyone ends up happy. Homura and Madoka reach the goal without regrets. Homura reflects that she does not want the dream to last longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka learns the meaning of &amp;quot;When winter comes, spring isn&#039;t far behind&amp;quot; at the end of December. Just before New Year&#039;s Eve, Madoka asks if anyone has plans for the holiday. Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko and Nagisa meet the teacher and children at the park. The kids immediately recognize Kyoko, so the pair double down on the movie lie. The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the performance, Kyoko and Sayaka use quick‑change costumes while Nagisa sneaks discarded clothes off set. The children are awed by the glowing weapons and effects, explained with lighting tricks and soap bubbles. After the class leaves, the group reviews the footage and decides to keep a copy. Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko returns the props to Sayuki, then visits an aquarium to pass time. As she leaves, she spots the same kindergarteners, detects a witch, and rushes to fight it. She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She is hunting for discounted Valentine&#039;s chocolate. She visits Sugar Plum but finds the chocolate coins sold out. She runs into Kyoko. They keep encountering each other at multiple stores and realize they are both after the same Valentine&#039;s Day exclusive Pink Tapir chocolate coins. They form an alliance to share information and split the chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe (Valentine)#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Valentine Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Pink Tapir station store, a clerk informs them the sale has moved to a new outlet location and gives them a map. On the way, a delivery truck carrying the chocolate coins is possessed by a Witch&#039;s Kiss and goes on a rampage. Nagisa and Kyoko chase it, jump onto the truck, and enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Nagisa uses her forbidden technique to defeat the Witch. The truck and other vehicles are unharmed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the outlet store and buy the chocolate coins. Nagisa reflects on her memory of eating Pink Tapir chocolate coins for the first time at a hospital charity event when her mother was sick. She wonders if this universe&#039;s Nagisa would have had the same experience. She and Kyoko hurry to Mami&#039;s chocolate party. Kyoko reveals she bought a chocolate cake from Sugar Plum for everyone. Nagisa shares her pink chocolate coins. Mami is happy they are getting along. The next day, the chocolate hunt continues. At the outlet store, Ms. Saotome buys chocolate coins for a hospital charity event, continuing the tradition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Ria, Mayu, and Manaka give the sisters their rented beach space, and the sisters end up spending the day with Team Yachiyo in a water pistol shooting match. They have more fun than they expected, but Tsukuyo suffers a heat stroke and is cared for by the group after Tsukasa panics. When Tsukasa tries to repay the favor, Yachiyo jokes that she should quit the Wings of Magius, then smiles when Tsukasa refuses as expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Miyako’s team wins after Yachiyo avoids stepping on a rare hermit crab, but everyone agrees Tsukasa has repaid her debt, and the sisters admit they had a wonderful time. They end the day drinking juice Yachiyo bought for them and buying matching crescent moon accessories in different colors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo announces that everyone must complete ten pages of homework per subject per day before they can play.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rena &amp;amp; Kaede (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena negotiates with Yachiyo: if they can finish all three days&#039; worth of homework in one day, they can play at the beach tomorrow. Everyone agrees. They study hard together. Rena suggests a reward system to stay motivated. They shout encouragement like at an idol concert. Yachiyo and Momoko help with difficult problems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Rena and Kaede catch a pufferfish but come in second place. Kanagi wins first place and gets stuck with Mitama&#039;s cooking. Mifuyu is affected first.

Yachiyo goes shopping alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They browse swimsuits, but Mitama insists on choosing thoughtfully rather than buying on a whim. They separate briefly, and Mitama runs into Mikage, deflecting questions about what she’s doing.

Instead of buying swimsuits, Mitama brings Momoko back for an adjustment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The group spends the day swimming, building a sandcastle, and splitting into smaller activities. While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond. Madoka reflects that the thing she could only do here was to reunite the two women and give them peace. Her friends call her for one last swim, and she runs off to join them, already thinking of returning to the island someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story and Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
It has two versions I made, assimilate them if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomuradsSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

** At registration, Mitama announces all participants must wear swimwear, offering to transform their outfits for free. Homura is surprisingly excited, and Sayaka gets roped into wearing a ridiculous mushroom‑mermaid costume designed by Kanoko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many familiar magical girls attend as participants or catering staff. Hazuki reveals her hatred of worms, Konoha faints from watching bait wriggle, and various mishaps begin piling up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka in her costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The non‑waterproof suit causes Sayaka to be electrocuted by its built‑in fan, but her Doppel activates and saves her. The Doppel drags Yachiyo into the water, and Yachiyo begins water‑skiing using her fishing rod while being pulled around.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura manages to fish up the Doppel and wins the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other&#039;s backs. Homura happily agrees, ending the day on a warm note.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Homura confronts her Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying summer and relying on Madoka’s kindness. The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurads&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura visit a seaside villa on the outskirts of Kamihama. They meet Felicia and her friends briefly. After parting ways, they decide to visit an aquarium. They participate in an accessory-making workshop using star sand. Inside the aquarium, they meet Ashley, an exchange student from the United States, and Riko. Ashley recognizes them as Magical Girls from Mitakihara because she encountered their copies in Endless Mirrors. They chat and learn Ashley is making videos about kawaii things in Japan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Waverider)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After parting ways with Ashley and Riko, Sayaka wants to visit a CD store. She hopes to find rare CDs for Kyosuke. At the store, she reaches for the same CD as a woman. They discover they both use notepads to track CDs. The woman is Takamine&#039;s wife—Takamine was a violinist who passed away. She collects his recordings to show her daughter. They exchange contact information. Sayaka mentions the upcoming flea market.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Sayaka, Madoka, Homura, Mami, Kyoko, and Nagisa visit the flea market together. They meet Ashley and Riko again. They split into groups. Sayaka and Kyoko go together. They eat lunch and shaved ice. Ashley records their conversation. Madoka and Homura leave early for Witch patrol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka&#039;s group meets Takamine&#039;s wife and daughter. A strong wind blows the daughter&#039;s hat into the ocean. Sayaka and Kyoko transform into swimsuits and ride a surfboard to retrieve it, using Nagisa&#039;s floaty as a distraction. The hat is recovered. Takamine&#039;s wife realizes she lost her notepad. Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while waiting, Nagisa and Riko play with water guns. Sayaka&#039;s group relaxes on the beach. Madoka and Homura find Sayaka&#039;s copy in Mirrors. The copy lures them into a trap, but they manage to get the CD list from her and escape. They send it to Sayaka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Takamine&#039;s wife identifies the CDs she was looking for. Sayaka buys a souvenir for Kyosuke. They enjoy the rest of the day at the beach.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Mami&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, Homura, Madoka, and Sayaka fight a Witch. They rescue a taxi driver who was captured. He is confused but fine. They help him find his car. Afterward, Homura feels bad for failing to finish off the Witch. Mami suggests they have a review meeting at her place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring. They plan for future fights: Sayaka will handle Familiars, Madoka and Homura will immobilize the Witch, and Mami will finish it off. Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the team encounters a paramedic and a girl under a Witch&#039;s influence. They enter the Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. The paramedic wakes up and thanks them and the team slips away quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of school after summer vacation, Mami calls Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura to the roof. Kyoko and Nagisa fought a powerful Witch and retreated. They warn the others and the team meets to plan. Kyoko and Nagisa will immobilize the Witch while Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura handle the Familiars. Mami will finish it off with her new firework attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The ext morning, the Witch appears and the team executes their plan. Mami uses a powerful firework attack, which she names &amp;quot;Fiore Finale,&amp;quot; to defeat the Witch. They rescue the captured people. A paramedic from earlier recognizes them and offers to take care of the victims. The team rushes to school but is late.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A taxi driver from the previous encounter sees them and gives them a ride. He thanks them for protecting the town. They arrive at school just in time. Mami is glad her hard work paid off and feels happy to be thanked. She looks forward to continuing to protect the town with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko invites Homura, Mami, Sayaka, and Madoka to the beach using tickets Mitama gave her after another accidental transformation into her magical swimsuit. The group swims, then Kyoko dominates the buffet. They discover a cliff diving spot, where Sayaka, Mami, and Kyoko take turns jumping while Madoka and Homura watch. They agree to return the day after next, since Madoka is busy the following day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kyoko asks Mitama to let her keep the swimsuit form for the summer, then heads to the beach alone. There she finds Ui Tamaki practicing swimming by herself, desperate to learn by the next day so she can join her family cliff diving. Kyoko watches over her, and later Sayaka arrives to help. Ui improves, but a rip current nearly sweeps her away; Kyoko rescues her. Moved by Ui’s determination, Kyoko keeps training her until sunset, and Ui finally masters swimming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully. Later, Kyoko visits Mitama to revert her outfit, explaining she wants to learn swimming properly rather than relying on magic. She trades a Grief Seed for money to buy ramune as payment for a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Eternal Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Momoko Togame (Sanctified)#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;

===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi meet again. Mitama shares her realization: her grief has ended. She now wants to make amends and carve a new future for Kamihama. They discuss ideas for the student conference. Kanagi suggests a sports festival. Mitama suggests a festival with food stalls. They joke about romance and love interests. Mitama feels lighter and ready to move forward. She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at the Wings of Magius, Alina asks Nemu to create a rumor for her. She will let it grow, then take it into herself and use it to achieve her greatest goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Touka and Nemu separately sneak to Ui’s room to leave apology notes. They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the real world, Tsuruno gives gelato to Ui and Felicia. Ui is absorbed in playing a game called &amp;quot;Little Vacation&amp;quot; on Tsuruno&#039;s phone. The game follows Tsuruno and Felicia as Reindeer Santas traveling to reach the End of the World and the Wishing Star.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia (Special Delivery)#Side Story|Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno uses the Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a hint: &amp;quot;The key is something you don&#039;t know the importance of until it&#039;s gone. This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The girls encourage Tsuruno and Felicia to leave since they were not originally trapped. Tsuruno and Felicia walk out easily. They promise to return once they find a way to free everyone. They leave, having failed to deliver smiles for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Town of Miraculous ☆ Prestidigitations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the next town. They meet Mitama, a magician performing tricks, and twins Rion and Hotori. Mitama attempts to teleport Hotori but accidentally duplicates her. There are now two Hotoris. Tsuruno and Felicia try to help. The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win. The duplicates are left behind. The single Tsuruno who lost is left alone without Reindeer-san #2 or the Okamochi Box. She decides to continue traveling anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; The three Tsurunos reunite and discuss the hints from the Okamochi Box. They realize &amp;quot;three heads are better than one&amp;quot; refers to them working together to solve the Maze Town puzzle. They also realize the key in Maze Town was a &amp;quot;smile&amp;quot;—something Ren had lost along the way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game. Game Tsuruno is surprised, saying the actual people probably do not play the game anymore.

===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents. Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia return home and ask to hear the full story, so Yachiyo retrieves the scarf from the time capsule where she had hidden it years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren plan for their friends’ Christmas party a week away and promise to spend Christmas Eve together. While looking at options in a magazine, they cannot decide on a place. Ren buys the magazine to think it over, privately hoping to choose somewhere that will make Rika happy, though she doubts whether she truly belongs beside her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ren visits Emiri’s consultation room but finds only Akira and Ria Ami. She explains her dilemma, and Ria takes her around town to evaluate possible locations. They rule out a restaurant, an amusement park, and a romantic cafe, eventually settling on the Minagi Aquarium. Ria is surprised to learn Ren is planning an outing with Rika, not a boyfriend, but Ren leaves feeling confident in her choice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Christmas Eve, Rika attends a party with her school friends. When she mentions she will spend Christmas Eve at the aquarium with a friend, her friends press to join, but Rika refuses. She advises them not to look for boyfriends just to avoid being alone. Later, while walking with her friends, Rika spots Ren chasing after Aimi Eri. She follows and finds Ren comforting Aimi over a misunderstanding involving a boy; the situation resolves without trouble.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Ren waits for Rika, who messages that she overslept with a fever. Ren worries Rika became sick chasing after her the day before. Before she can reply, Aimi finds her, and they go shopping together. Aimi encourages Ren to visit Rika instead of staying apart. Ren goes to Rika’s house, knocks on her window, and insists they spend Christmas together there so Rika can rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They exchange gifts: Ren gives Rika scented candles, having noticed Rika’s interest from a sticky note, and Rika gives Ren a glass candlestick. Rika hopes they can visit the aquarium another time, and Ren leaves happy to have shared Christmas with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, assimilate them if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumor Tsuruno begins designing the park, adding a merry-go-round, roller coaster, spa, shops, and a cafe. The mascots warn that once the park is complete, she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world. Rumor Tsuruno claims no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she imagines comfort foods with hot pot as the main star, she is reminded of Mikazuki Villa. She brushes it off and completes the park. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Uwasa Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana looks at a Mr. Purrs-a-lot picture book and feels down. Ui notices and asks what is wrong. Sana admits she wants to become a picture book author to help people who are suffering like she once was. She has many ideas but does not know how to write them. Ui encourages her. Sana says she is starting from zero and needs to practice writing. Ui suggests she settle on one main idea. Sana recalls a story about the Rice God from Yachiyo and decides to write a practice story about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana writes a story about the Rice God punishing Felicia for not finishing her rice. Ui enjoys it. Sana realizes she also needs to entertain readers while conveying her message. She decides her first picture book theme will be &amp;quot;friends.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana and Ui discuss the main character. Sana models her after Ai, the Uwasa of the Anonymous A.I. She names the heroine Aoi. Sana writes the first part of the story: Aoi leaves the &amp;quot;Land of Beginnings&amp;quot; and arrives at the &amp;quot;Land of Blessings,&amp;quot; where residents constantly fight. Aoi suggests a picnic to help them understand each other. The residents grow closer. Ui enjoys the story. Sana reveals she wants to leave behind proof of Ai&#039;s existence before she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana asks Nemu for permission to use a character modelled after Ai in her picture book. Nemu agrees, saying she is happy Sana wishes to preserve Ai. Nemu advises Sana on how to become a published author: enter contests or approach publishers directly. Sana becomes discouraged when she realizes she would have to interact with people who cannot see her. She leaves feeling hopeless.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana wanders alone, feeling invisible. She helps a girl find a lost ring but is not noticed. She thinks her dream is impossible. Tsuruno, Felicia, and Ui find her, worried because she was not answering calls. Iroha and Yachiyo also arrive. Nemu calls and suggests Sana could use an agent to communicate with publishers, avoiding direct meetings. Sana regains her resolve. Yachiyo tells her not to give up on her dream. Iroha and the others promise to support her. Sana realizes she has a family to help her get back up.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana finishes her first picture book, &amp;quot;A Small Encounter.&amp;quot; The story follows Shana, an invisible girl who is found by Aoi and makes her first friend. Sana decides to show it to everyone and get their thoughts. She promises to keep persevering for Ai&#039;s sake and for everyone who supports her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 1 (Flashback/Reflection)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi wakes from a nap and remembers the dream she had when fused with the Kimochi. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words that helped her realize she had not truly given up. Iroha told her that those who have given up do not fight, and that Lavi came to Kamihama because she still wanted to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro (Kimochi)#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects on the hope she once held—a daydream of a peaceful life where magical girls are understood. In that dream, she helped her mother, tended fields with her grandfather, watched Urara&#039;s street performances, and attended exhibitions with Shirogane. She encountered other magical girls: Asahi, Haitani, Kuroda, Urara, and Alexandra. They fought witches together and enjoyed everyday moments. Lavi realized she had locked away this hope because remembering it was painful. But now, through her connection with Iroha and her time with Nayuta, she has begun to see the future again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 2 (Daydream/Desired Future)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi dreams of a happy future where the Automatic Purification System has spread and peace has come. She, Nayuta, and Mikage go on a trip to Yukuni. They encounter many acquaintances: Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and Mikazuki Villa. Due to a scheduling mistake, everyone arrives at the same inn on the same day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** There is not enough premium beef for dinner. The groups compete in hot spring table tennis, karaoke, and pillow fights to decide who gets the meat. Yuna cheats in table tennis and is disqualified. The karaoke machine is outdated. The pillow fight becomes chaotic. Asahi saves the day with gibier meat. Everyone shares the meal and enjoys the evening together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects that this bustling, noisy future is unlike her usual self, but she realizes she has been yearning for it deep down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 3 (Reality/Current Time)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi teaches Nayuta cooking. They discuss their futures: Nayuta wants to study magical girls at a university different from her father&#039;s. Lavi wants to help at her family&#039;s inn while spreading magical girl activities. They plan a trip with Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Upon arriving at Cradle of the Earth in Yukuni, they encounter Mikazuki Villa, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and the Tokime Clan—just as in Lavi&#039;s dream. There is again not enough meat for dinner. Lavi is overwhelmed but also excited. She realizes that even if the past cannot be undone, they can move forward together and create a bright future. She announces they will compete over the meat and create a new future with all of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Yachiyo wakes at Mikazuki Villa and briefly senses Iroha&#039;s magical signature before it disappears. She sends Felicia and Sana off to school, then meets Momoko, Rena, and Kaede for lunch. Rena confesses she screamed in class, unable to contain her frustration that everyone has forgotten Iroha. Yachiyo realizes she had convinced herself she accepted Iroha&#039;s disappearance but had actually just given up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo meets with Mifuyu, Kanagi, and Hinano to discuss Magical Girls&#039; declining mental states. That evening, she finds Sana&#039;s discarded picture book manuscript.

* Yachiyo brings the group to the radio tower observatory, where they sense Iroha&#039;s magical signature radiating from above, confirming she is still working to save Magical Girls. Felicia is absent. Later, Yachiyo meets with Yuna, Shizuka, Himena, and Lavi to discuss the ongoing grief before departing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo attends the Kamihama Student Conference results meeting, where Mifuyu notes Rena has improved since seeing Iroha&#039;s signature. Yachiyo receives a call from Tsuruno: Felicia has run away. That evening, Felicia calls, planning to leave Kamihama to escape her guilt. Yachiyo tracks her location and rushes to the station with Tsuruno. Tsuruno finds Felicia, who confesses she cannot forget Iroha. Tsuruno shares Yachiyo&#039;s message: they should say &amp;quot;thank you&amp;quot; rather than &amp;quot;I&#039;m sorry.&amp;quot; Felicia agrees and returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome and Aru lead Yachiyo and Felicia to a location near the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Iroha&#039;s presence is stronger. Yachiyo suggests a picnic there. She leaves for a magazine interview, where she admits Iroha is no longer by her side. Later at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo attempts to make Iroha&#039;s hamburger steak recipe but is overwhelmed by grief and retreats to her room, admitting she fears she is breaking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Preparations for the picnic are underway. Yachiyo reveals her true purpose: she plans to use the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura to bring Iroha back by traveling through the Mirror Witch, even offering to take Iroha&#039;s place. When the others refuse to help, she attempts to go alone. Felicia uses her oblivion magic on Yachiyo and she forgets the plan entirely. Yachiyo continues preparing lunch as if nothing happened. They travel to the Rumor for the picnic. Along the way, Yachiyo asks the others to stop her if she ever loses control and tries something insane, admitting she can act on impulse when she loses composure. She also tells them they are all irreplaceable to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;

Need to re-check this. It may already be done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane complain about being overworked as guardians of a Rumor and fear the anger of Touka, Alina, and Nemu. They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - A Taste of Hospitality|A Taste of Hospitality]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko and Ashley help Mitama film a video about her Coordinator services, whre she explains that she adjusts Soul Gems to draw out hidden potential, that she sees memories during adjustments but keeps them confidential, and that she also sells items for Magical Girls. As payment for the video, Riko gives Mitama an origami dog (Mameji) and Ashley gives her blue candy from her home, both of which Mitama puts in a box.&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, Mitama receives many gifts from Magical Girls, including Kokoro, Reira, Mito, Felicia, Ayame, Kako, Yachiyo, Karin, Himika, Rika and Emiri, the last of whom says that when people share their favorite things, it means they want to share what they love with Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama hums happily, which Momoko and Kanagi notice and feel a bad omen. Mitama announces that she wants to share what she loves with everyone and that she plans a party with food that she will cook. She asks Momoko and Kanagi to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;

===Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin===&lt;br /&gt;

* One winter’s day before Christmas, Rika and Ren go shopping together. The town has no Christmas decorations and people seem depressed. They hear a distressed voice and find Mitama, wearing a Santa&#039;s beard and hat, and she introduces herself as a Christmas Spirit. Mitama says her job is to make everyone happy, but the task is too big. She gives Rika and Ren some of her magic, explaining that the magic requires them to be perfectly attuned to each other, and then she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, a swallow Familiar appears, claiming to be Mitama’s pupil and Rika names him Chirpie. Chirpie explains that Mitama saved him when he fell from his nest and gave him magic. He can sense cowardly hearts lacking courage and Rika and Ren must drive out ten cowardly hearts to make the town happy. Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chirpie leads them to Felicia and Sana, who had accidentally smashed a cake and are now arguing about who should apologize to Yachiyo. Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 13th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mitama is away from her shop, but Tsuruno is there, using the kitchen to make chocolate bonbons with a friend. She plans to surprise everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 14th:&#039;&#039;&#039; On Valentine&#039;s Day, Tsuruno gives beautifully wrapped chocolates to Iroha, Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana and Ui at Mikazuki Villa. Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rise of the Waning Moon===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Rise of the Waning Moon|Rise of the Waning Moon]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day during lunch break, Kanagi goes to Himika’s classroom, telling her she just wanted to see her face, which Himika finds strange.&lt;br /&gt;
** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo calls back and confirms they will come.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group arrives at the hotel and Yachiyo&#039;s relative, an older woman, greets them warmly. She says she used to hang out with Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river.

Tsuruno volunteers the group to help until the staff arrives. Yachiyo worries they might cause trouble, but Iroha, Ui, and Sana want to try. They agree to help. Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the next day, the group arrives at the pool for opening day. Yachiyo handles reception. The ticket scanner malfunctions and a line forms. Mitama appears—she had plans with Iroha that were canceled. She offers to help and fixes the scanner by hitting it. The staff member returns and takes over.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama notices Yachiyo has something on her mind and suggests she talk to someone she trusts. Iroha later asks Yachiyo to help with a crowded lunch area. Ui is taking orders with Sana&#039;s invisible help making drinks.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral. Yachiyo admits she was worried about everyone but sees they are doing fine. Iroha tells Yachiyo it is okay to worry because she cares, and they can solve problems together. Iroha notices Yachiyo has been down and offers to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
** A foam machine malfunctions, spewing foam everywhere. A guest slips and falls. The group splits up to clean the foam and help guests. Mitama fixes the machine with a whack. The support staff arrives. The girls finally have time to enjoy the pool.&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models. She does not know what to post and is shy about taking selfies. Iroha suggests posting photos of herself and takes pictures of Yachiyo on a float with the sunset. Yachiyo is embarrassed but agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Tsuruno want a turn on the float. Everyone climbs on, and Mitama takes a group photo just as they all fall into the water. Iroha loves the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the pool photos are popular online. Yachiyo&#039;s manager says going to the pool was a good move. Yachiyo thanks Iroha and says she might take her up on being her photographer again. She sends the group photo to everyone. Iroha says the photo may not be &amp;quot;social media-worthy&amp;quot; but it captures who they are. They agree to go back to the pool again—summer is just getting started.&lt;br /&gt;

They became close and talked openly with each other for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo too formal and uptight, while Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukuyo was devastated.

* Several days later, Tsukasa tells Tsukuyo she does not know the details of how the Magius intend to save them. She shares the full ending of the story they studied—the couple takes their own lives because they fear their love will fade. Tsukasa suggests they do the same. Tsukuyo is horrified but realizes they have no other way out.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night they decide to die, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa meet at the shrine. They decide to destroy their Soul Gems together. They hold hands and count to three. Mifuyu arrives in time to stop them.

&lt;br /&gt;

After the meeting, Nanaka explains to her team that she wanted to observe everyone&#039;s opinions for future use. She reflects on her past—her father fell ill, his pupils took over the school, and the Tokiwa family was left in the dust. On his deathbed, her father asked her to reclaim the school. She wished for the power to evaluate who her enemies truly are. She discovered the true enemy was a Witch she named Locust. She formed a team to seek revenge.&lt;br /&gt;

Her team questions her decision, but she says they will see soon enough.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hazuki&#039;s team confronts Nanaka. They were forced to defeat the Boss Witch because of the &amp;quot;duty&amp;quot; clause. Hazuki says Nanaka played them. Nanaka admits she knew they could do it. Hazuki says they have scores to settle. Hazuki also mentions the Witch was strange, like it was being manipulated.

===Kako Natsume&#039;s Heartphial Story: N&#039;s Confession===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kako Natsume reflects on her life. She lost Natsume Books and her peaceful days once. But she is no longer the fearful girl she used to be. She is a girl who can choose to protect what is dear to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kako is 13 years old. Her parents run Natsume Books, a used bookstore. Books are a huge part of her life. One day, she sees Nanaka loitering by the mailbox, looking distressed. Nanaka drops a letter in the mailbox and runs off. She tells Kako to read the letter. Kako remembers the words &amp;quot;Kill her&amp;quot; and wonders why.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako recalls her past. Her family was not wealthy, but they were happy. Her father recommended books, and her mother helped her study. Then tragedy struck. A riot over land grabs broke out. Harassment of those who objected got worse. Discord grew within the community and even within their home. Her father was wound tight. Then their house was set on fire. Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
** She met a girl named &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; N told Kako who was responsible and what she needed to do to destroy them. Kako clung to her. She later learned N was manipulative and saw others as pawns. Kako hates N and wants revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found herself in a Labyrinth. Nanaka fought off Familiars but was overwhelmed. Kyubey offered Kako the chance to become a Magical Girl. Nanaka told Kako through telepathy to decide for herself what she wanted. Kako realized she hated feeling helpless. She wished to see her family smiling again and to get Natsume Books back. She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kako learned Nanaka faked her struggle to entrap her into making the wish. Nanaka had pulled this trick on others to use them as pawns. Kako could not forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako and Nanaka fought Witches together. Nanaka encouraged Kako and told her she was better suited to being a Magical Girl than Nanaka was. Kako wanted to get stronger. Nanaka wrote a letter confessing her deception and asking Kako to kill her. Kako made up her mind to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka. She returned it unopened, saying it seemed wrong to read something Nanaka only sent by accident. Nanaka smiled and said Kako was dazzling. She said she would try to tell Kako her feelings in person someday.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako thinks Nanaka overestimates her, but she is no longer as scared and helpless as she used to be. She is a Magical Girl who protects the city by Nanaka&#039;s side.&lt;br /&gt;

===Himika Mao&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Lucky Break Lost &amp;amp; Found===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

** Mitama suggests having Himika&#039;s father call the subcontractor to track down the pouch. Himika&#039;s father does so. The company says they will search for it.&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Rena calls Himika. She saw the Baby Bunny pouch in a crane game at an arcade. Himika, Kako, Ayame, Rena, and Kaede go to the arcade. The pouch is in the replenishment case, meaning Himika must win all the Mocha Bunnies already out to reach it. Himika decides to use a strategy but is short on money.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika observes other players to learn techniques, calling it &amp;quot;crane training.&amp;quot; She strategizes to create an avalanche by knocking down piles of plushies. She successfully clears most of the machine. The staff restocks the machine, placing the pouch inside surrounded by four giant Mocha Bunnies.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika aims to move two bunnies out of the way to reach the pouch. She successfully clears the pandas and one bunny. She realizes there are two Baby Bunny pouches, not one.

* Some time later, Himika&#039;s family goes on the tropical vacation. She explains that when she asked Kyubey to cure her dad, what she really wanted was for her family to be back together.

Rika finds her and calls her instead of opening the door. Rika explains she wanted to surprise Ren. She gives Ren a set of 12 colored pencils with a carved lily of the valley on the case. Ren cries and thanks her. The bear cub looks up and sees the Spirit of Light smiling at her. Her world is once again filled with light.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren buys another colored pencil. She notices the name is &amp;quot;Blue Sky&amp;quot; instead of &amp;quot;Sky Blue.&amp;quot; She hears a voice talking about the Rumor of Parallel Memories. She feels dizzy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren dreams she is dead. She cannot see or touch her parents. They mourn her suicide. She never became a Magical Girl and never met Rika. She watches her friends go to the teddy bear exhibition without her. She is invisible. She feels awful and wants to go back to the land of the living. She remembers the colored pencil with the different name—that must be the proof of another world. She holds it and wishes to live. She wakes up. It was all a dream. Rika messages her to join everyone for snacks. Ren goes to meet them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren finishes her bear story. The gatekeeper asks the bear cub if she has any regrets. The bear cub says yes. She wishes to leave behind her journal, filled with entries about the Spirit of Light and all the sparkles she showed her. The gatekeeper opens the gates. The bear cub does not say goodbye because she knows she will see the Spirit of Light again someday in the World of Light. Ren realizes the bear cub is reborn, just like she was when she met Rika and her friends. She can live in a world full of color.&lt;br /&gt;

She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Riko Chiaki&#039;s Heartphial Story: Worked Out with a Woof===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki reflects on her life. Even though her mom and dad were hardly home because of work, she never felt lonely as long as Miss K was around. She cared about her so much that she just wanted to help her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback) Riko helps out at her parents&#039; bento store. She is close with Miss K, the daughter of the hardware store owner next door. Miss K has always been like a big sister to her. Miss K cries to Riko that her father opposes her marriage because he does not want her to move far away. Riko wishes to Kyubey for Miss K&#039;s marriage to be accepted. She becomes a Magical Girl. Miss K gets married and moves away. Riko misses her but does not regret her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Riko goes filming with Ashley. She tells Ashley about Miss K. She explains that Miss K&#039;s father never fully accepted the marriage, and they have not made up. Riko receives a message from Miss K saying she was in the hospital because she was pregnant. She invites Riko to visit her new house. Riko goes and meets the baby. Miss K asks Riko to be friends with her child. Riko becomes like a big sister to the baby. She feels happy that her wish came true but is sad Miss K and her father never reconciled.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko walks Mameji and sees Miss K&#039;s father standing outside the hardware store, looking sad. She wonders what is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley advises Riko to ask Miss K directly if she wants to make up with her father. Riko texts Miss K and asks to meet. Miss K replies that she will come to Riko&#039;s town instead. Riko is excited.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Miss K visits Riko. They talk about her father. Miss K says she wants to make up with him but does not know how. Riko suggests inviting him to meet the baby, giving him a present, or going on a family trip. Miss K doubts any of it will work. They walk to Riko&#039;s store together. They encounter Miss K&#039;s father outside. Riko admits she asked Miss K to come so they could patch things up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Miss K&#039;s father reveals he brought a herbarium to Riko&#039;s store. It was originally meant as a gift for his grandchild, but he could not bring himself to deliver it. Riko realizes Mameji had been guiding her this whole time. Earlier, Mameji had barked at the cake that turned out to be from Miss K&#039;s father. Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky. She realizes she is dying, having protected Yachiyo. She remembers how everyone was fighting for dear life. She wished she were stronger to help them. She is sorry for not being stronger. She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ashley Taylor&#039;s Heartphial Story: Can&#039;t Be Myself Without What I Love===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley Taylor reflects on her life. Studying in Japan is awesome fun. She wants to find more kawaii for her vlog viewers back home and asks her father to watch over her while she pursues her passions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley vlogs with Riko&#039;s help. She films herself shopping for Magical Kirin merch and gurokawa items. After editing and uploading the video, she replies to comments from her followers. She thinks about her father and hopes he is watching.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley remembers the day she wanted to study abroad in Japan. Her father refused without giving a clear reason, which was unusual. Kyubey appeared and offered to grant any wish. Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko notices Ashley seems down. She worries Ashley is overworking herself by vlogging daily and replying to comments late at night. Ashley says it does not feel like work because she loves it. She thanks Riko for being a kind friend. They go out to film another vlog.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley continues vlogging daily. She worries about skipping a day because her followers might unfollow her. She wakes up to find Kumanosuke missing. She panics, feeling like her world is ending. Riko arrives with a bento and finds Ashley crying. Ashley explains she lost Kumanosuke. Riko comforts her and says it is okay to skip a vlog. Ashley admits she has been using followers&#039; comments to fill the hole left by her father&#039;s death. Riko says she understands loss—she misses her sister who moved far away. They decide to search for Kumanosuke.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko suggests Ashley ask her followers for help finding Kumanosuke. During a live stream, a commenter suggests rewatching her previous vlog. Ashley realizes she left Kumanosuke on a chair when she got distracted by a crane machine. They find Kumanosuke on a shelf at the store, dressed in Waloli Gurokawa clothes. Ashley gets him back. She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

* At the hospital, a nurse tries to convince Touka to eat her carrots. Touka refuses unless her terms are met: she wants specific books brought to her. The books are Hachslingen&#039;s &amp;quot;General Theory of the Origin of the Universe,&amp;quot; Cosinberg&#039;s &amp;quot;Celestial Forces,&amp;quot; and Dadatri&#039;s &amp;quot;Glimmer of the Planet.&amp;quot; She claims no one will hand them over.

** Iroha arrives, having been called by Ui. Ui admits she asked Iroha to search for the books Touka wanted, having written out the titles for her.

** Nemu deduces that Touka is acting like Princess Kaguya, requesting treasures she knows do not exist to avoid eating her carrots. Exposed, Touka reluctantly eats a carrot.

* Touka eagerly awaits Iroha&#039;s arrival to play Old Maid, noting Iroha has won first place seven times in a row but that her face always gives the game away. Nemu observes to Ui that Touka frequently says &amp;quot;Onee-sama&amp;quot; now, likely because Iroha is her first elder sister. Nemu quietly reflects that Iroha is her first Onee-san as well.

===Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call|Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wait, You Got It Wrong!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayu Kozue&#039;s most treasured possession is a bear pendant her father carved for her before he died. When a hand-drawn postcard is stolen from the museum where she works, security footage shows her friend Ria at the scene moments later. Mayu cannot reach Ria and suspects a Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~|Wait, You Got It Wrong! / Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While searching for Ria, Mayu encounters Asuka Tatsuki, whose family&#039;s invaluable book of secrets was also stolen. A witness described a blonde girl in a Mizuna uniform—Ria. They find Sayuki Fumino crying over her stolen sword book, then Rena Minami who was bumped by the same girl. At Walnut&#039;s restaurant, Manaka Kurumi accuses Ria of stealing a rice omelet. A Witch barrier appears, and after Mayu and Asuka defeat the Familiars, Ria arrives demanding to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka challenges Ria to a duel over the thefts, and Ria loses. She confesses to something embarrassing, and everyone assumes she means the thefts—but she meant a binder of idol clippings she desperately hopes no one saw. She was only chasing the Witch to recover her own stolen belongings. Relieved, Mayu and Asuka join her. They track and defeat the Witch, recovering most items, but the museum postcard, the dojo book, and Ria&#039;s binder remain missing. They agree to search again tomorrow. That night, Mayu dreams of her father, who tells her material things are destined to break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, thefts continue across the city. Mayu realizes the Witch they defeated was only a Familiar and the real Witch is still out there. She offers her precious pendant as bait to track it. Despite Ria&#039;s protests, Mayu uses it, and they follow the magic trail to the Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After a difficult battle, they recover all stolen items, though Mayu&#039;s pendant is scratched and its chain broken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu is unbothered. She explains that material possessions naturally break, but the memories they hold remain in her heart—a lesson from her father. Asuka and Ria are moved, and Mayu turns to walk home, promptly falls into a lake, and flounders while Ria sighs that she has not changed at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor she calls Miss K. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Miss K with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Miss K&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Miss K to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

===&amp;quot;Let&#039;s hit the Suitoku baths! (Music Collection 1 bonus drama)&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo, Iroha, and Sana prepare a meal. Felicia reluctantly helps. Tsuruno arrives with a flyer for Suitokuyu, a public bathhouse holding an event as part of a shopping district revitalization plan. She invites everyone to go together. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the bathhouse, they read the posted rules. Tsuruno pretends to be a &amp;quot;bathhouse master&amp;quot; and teaches them. Sana becomes embarrassed about being naked in front of everyone. Yachiyo understands her feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Villa. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;
~A Little Break For Us~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===This is The Warmest Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha is going about her day when Sana, Felicia, and Ui present her with a pinwheel and ask her to blow on it. Though confused by their strange behavior, Iroha does as they ask and the girls thank her before quickly scampering off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~#This Is The Warmest Day Login Special|This is The Warmest Day]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts. When Yachiyo asks Iroha&#039;s opinion, Iroha expresses her love for shortcake and suggests they bake one immediately, but Yachiyo insists she wait for the right moment, which will come sooner than she thinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Lavi is shopping when Nayuta finds her to share news about her math test score. They return home where Lavi prepares dinner, and Nayuta discovers Lavi earned perfect scores in every subject, highlighting the gap between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House|The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day while Lavi runs errands, Nayuta confides in Mikage about her fears that Lavi only respects her father and secretly resents serving her. Seeking answers, Nayuta visits Mitama, who suggests that kindness and broad-mindedness are the traits she needs to develop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Nayuta observes how hard Lavi works attending school, studying, handling housework, and fighting witches. Worried she might collapse, Nayuta offers Lavi time off for her upcoming sixteenth birthday and secretly plans a surprise party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later on Lavi&#039;s birthday, Nayuta and Mikage struggle through cleaning the house and preparing a celebration. Their efforts are interrupted when Lavi returns early for lunch, scolds them for the mess, but leaves again at Nayuta&#039;s insistence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Lavi returns that evening, the handmade kusudama falls onto the cake and catches fire. Lavi extinguishes it with water, and Nayuta is left mortified as her surprise party fails spectacularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Nayuta senses lingering coldness from Lavi and struggles to find the right way to apologize. Remembering her father&#039;s example, she decides to catch and cook a fish as an apology gift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day at a fishing center, Nayuta encounters girls from the Tokime clan who teach her how to gut fish. Despite being disturbed by the process, she perseveres and eventually catches the exact fish she wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning home late, Nayuta discovers a threatening letter addressed to Lavi and deduces it must be connected to the serious trouble from Lavi&#039;s hometown. She rushes to the market street with Mikage to protect her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the market street, Nayuta confronts the man speaking with Lavi, declaring herself as Satomi Tasuke&#039;s daughter to intimidate him. The man reveals he is simply a stalker with no connection to Lavi&#039;s past, and when he becomes agitated, Nayuta tackles him unconscious as a crowd applauds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Nayuta presents the cooked fish and apologizes. Lavi admits she was barely angry anymore and thanks Nayuta for protecting her, acknowledging she was just like her father in that moment. Nayuta produces a second kusudama and cake, and this time the celebration succeeds. As they pick confetti from the cake, Lavi quietly says she will continue to admire Nayuta until the final day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Art 02 01 0003 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune. The Rumor says that if you receive the book and find a drawing of yourself, the sketched event will happen and if you try to stop it, a creature named Ketch drags you into the book. Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Art 02 01 0010 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day|Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Rumored Temp Counselor===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

===Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away|Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

* One evening, Sakuya wakes from another nightmare about the Futatsugi war, where she killed her best friend. She resolves to continue her undercover mission at Iroha&#039;s school and avoid friendships at all costs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Always Waving my Hand at You|Always Waving my Hand at You / I’ll Keep Waving at You]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ryoko notices Sakuya&#039;s exhaustion and decides something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ryoko tracks Sakuya down at her school, creating a scene about missing shoes that sparks gossip. After learning Sakuya may be engineering her own isolation, Ryoko continues her efforts to help, but Sakuya runs away each time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Ryoko investigates and discovers Sakuya hid her own shoes and started the gossip to isolate herself. Sakuya confesses she killed her best friend in the war and must remain alone to avoid hurting anyone else. Ryoko declares she will save Sakuya by becoming her best friend, and they fight until exhausted. That night, Sakuya dreams of her deceased friend, who thanks her and tells her to move forward. She wakes to find Ryoko collapsed from hunger, and they talk for hours like ordinary friends. Though they agree they cannot meet again until the battles are over, they promise to become true friends then.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the following days, Sakuya returns to normal life by socializing with classmates, sleeping better, and regaining her spirits. Ryoko gains a new goal: to free Sakuya from the things that bind her, once and for all, when the time is right.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls in Kush, who transforms into a vampire and she wins the contest. Natsuki takes second place and Karin takes third place. A commemorative photo is taken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin completes her manga, &amp;quot;The Pumpkin King and the Ghost Servant.&amp;quot; She shows it to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede who praise it, giving it 100 points or more. Kaede appreciates the happy ending. Karin is moved by Kaede&#039;s approval. Manaka arrives with pumpkin pie for a taste test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the Sakae Halloween Festa, Karin arrives at the festival in her Pumpkin King costume. Alina is also present, already dressed as the ghost servant from Karin&#039;s manga. Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head of the executive committee thanks Karin for recommending Alina as the face of the event. Karin reflects on her hope that Alina will one day atone for her sins and reach a happy ending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Mikage is delighted to see her photo in the newspaper and finds it funny that the article claims she made chocolate with her sister. Mitama suggests it was artistic license. Mikage wonders if she might become famous but worries about sketchy people, and Mitama jokingly offers to beat them up. Mikage asks if they can make real chocolate together, but Mitama needs to go to her coordinator shop. Mikage promises to do things that make her sister smile instead, and Mitama suggests they make Valentine&#039;s chocolate together next year. Mikage eagerly agrees to practice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choc&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Promised Blood&#039;s base, Yuna notices her teammates have been acting strangely, as Sakuya reads romance columns, Juri studies constantly, and Urara stares at Hikaru without speaking. After the meeting, Yuna confides in Hikaru that she feels guilty for not noticing everyone&#039;s exhaustion and decides to solve each person&#039;s problems personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend. Though relieved it&#039;s not her own love life, Yuna insists on helping anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s place, the group brainstorms confession advice. The conversation shifts when Ao receives a text from her parents—she&#039;s been lying to them about her late nights as a magical girl, claiming she&#039;s in an e-sports tournament. To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the online tournament, chaos ensues as Juri attacks teammates, Hikaru sets the kitchen on fire, and Yuna fails at selling merchandise. Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka-senpai&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Day in the Life of Madoka-senpai===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

==Magia Record Events==&lt;br /&gt;
===See You Tomorrow===&lt;br /&gt;
* One morning at the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira greets an older neighbor who warns her about increasing danger in the area. Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them. The girl agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, finishing the final preparations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day of the school festival proceeds without major incident. Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, sampling food and enjoying the event. They take a photo together at the repaired arch—Tsumugi, Manaka, and the transfer student in her uniform. The transfer student reflects later that she will cherish the photo forever, grateful for the kindness she did not feel she deserved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Autumn of Reading===&lt;br /&gt;
This seems to have been an event without story. Needs to be re-checked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Girls in the Hood===&lt;br /&gt;
* An earthquake strikes the city, and on a rooftop, Jun Kazari drops both her yo-yo and her soul gem while practicing tricks. She chases after the soul gem, while the yo-yo falls into the hood of Mitsune Miwa, a hikikomori watching a performance below. Mitsune decides to return it and runs up the stairs, where she collides with Jun. Jun explains she needs her soul gem, and Mitsune returns the yo-yo. A Witch&#039;s barrier appears around them, and Jun transforms to fight while telling Mitsune to close her eyes. Mitsune peeks, collapses after seeing the Witch die, and Jun carries her outside, claiming it was all a dream. Jun insists on treating Mitsune since she saved her yo-yo, and takes her to a candy store called Tomorrow Shop. Jun introduces her to the children there, and Mitsune is amazed by how loved Jun is. Mitsune must leave by 6 PM, and Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Girls in the Hood|Girls in the Hood]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitsune returns to the shop and sees Kanae Yukino talking with Jun. Mitsune detours down an alley and is caught in a Witch&#039;s barrier. Kanae enters first, and Jun follows to save Mitsune. They defeat the Witch together, and Mitsune wakes in a park.

[[Magia Record Event - The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf|The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo bumps into Tsuruno on a day when school is out. Yachiyo has a job performing in a recorded drama with Sayuki that will be screened on Tanabata. Tsuruno recalls Yachiyo&#039;s poor performance in Karin&#039;s Halloween play and decides to join her to help. Yachiyo welcomes her.&lt;br /&gt;
** On set, Ria and Mayu are assisting with makeup and costumes. Yachiyo recognizes Ria, calls her by name, and praises her work, causing Ria to internally fangirl. Yachiyo grows anxious seeing so many Magical Girls gathered, recalling how a previous production with magical girls turned into a disaster. Tsuruno reassures her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wins over the production team with her exuberance. The play&#039;s co-star drops out, and the director asks Tsuruno to take the role. She eagerly accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a fairy tale about an ancient Mizuna legend. Two girls, Tsuyu and Chizuru, befriend each other despite their families&#039; rivalry and join forces to punish a selfish lord. Yachiyo plays Tsuyu, the ice queen with a heart of gold. Tsuruno plays Chizuru, the cheerful and impetuous girl. Sayuki plays the Magpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** During the script reading, everyone realizes Yachiyo&#039;s acting skills are still terrible. Yachiyo confides that she has turned down many acting jobs but accepted this one because the director begged her, even if she flops. She vows to see it through to expand her repertoire. Tsuruno promises to stay by her side.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria is in shock seeing her idol perform poorly. The filmmakers work around it by taking away Yachiyo&#039;s lines. Ria confronts Yachiyo and Tsuruno after the reading, declaring she will give Yachiyo an acting bootcamp. She does not want Yachiyo&#039;s performance to drag down her makeup work or her reputation as Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at home, Yachiyo reviews the script. Tsuruno explains the Mizuna fairy tale to the rest of Mikazuki. Felicia becomes interested when she learns there are fight scenes. Tsuruno explains that the day Tsuyu and Chizuru teamed up was Tanabata, and people in Kamihama entrust their wishes to them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next week or so, Yachiyo is drilled on acting with a professional coach and Ria&#039;s guidance. She eventually executes her lines perfectly and Ria is relieved.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Sea is a Link Through Time /  The Call of the Open Sea===&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. There&#039;s two different versions at hand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Momoko and Mitama arrive at a resort near a village with a legend about a Diviner who eloped with a sailor and sank with stolen treasure. Mitama reveals they are actually there to hunt for this treasure based on a fairy tale Mikage heard. While exploring the private beach, they encounter Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao from the Tokime Clan, who stumbled there by accident. The group decides to spend the day together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|The Call of the Open Sea]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, they attend a festival in a nearby village that turns out to be a branch of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka learns the villagers consider Diviners a superstition. Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Big Sis, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Felicia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward. Kyubey finds a fuming Felicia, who decides to hire herself out as a mercenary to other magical girls for money or Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Felicia Mitsuki#Side Story|Felicia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia encounters Asuka and Sasara and defeats a witch for them, but they let her keep the Grief Seed and leave without paying, leaving her frustrated. Kako appears, concerned, but Felicia rejects her harshly and immediately regrets it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia helps defeat the witch and collapses from exhaustion, silently vowing to destroy every witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Touka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Hazuki and Nanaka team up with Ui to teach her how to defeat witches.

** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art. The Amanes are relieved, and Tsukuyo suggests they play their flutes at the shrine on the way home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo thinks the flute&#039;s song has always warmed her heart, while Tsukasa reflects it is a bridge connecting her to her sister. Both affirm that their only allies are each other, and they will always be together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends. Before Hibari&#039;s family moved away, she performed a charm ritual on Aru and promised they would meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message that Hibari is coming to visit Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After some confusion about directions, they reach the arcade where Hibari wins a crane game prize and helps Juri win one too. Hibari suddenly becomes pale and goes to get change, but she does not return. Kagome calls her and Hibari thanks her for being friends before saying goodbye, with an ambulance audible in the background.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome discovers a crowd under a Witch&#039;s Kiss heading toward a rooftop and sends emergency messages to every Magical Girl she knows. Himena&#039;s group arrives to help hold back the crowd, but other girls cannot come due to similar incidents elsewhere. Shizuka finally checks her phone and rushes over with the Tokime Clan just as someone threatens to ignite kerosene. They stop the crowd while Juri and Ao defeat the Witch with Livia&#039;s help. The Witch&#039;s Kiss is lifted and Hibari wakes up confused, with Livia covering that she collapsed from anemia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari admits she felt faint because seeing Kagome surrounded by friends made her happy but also made her feel left behind and alone. Kagome insists Hibari is wrong and promises to come running whenever Hibari is in trouble, asking them to stay best friends forever. Hibari reveals the two wishes she made when they parted came true: that she could speak her mind loudly and that Kagome would make lots of friends. They renew their promise to remain best friends forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari. They bonded over a shared love of &amp;quot;The Adventure of Mandragora.&amp;quot; Hibari gave Kagome a Mandragora plushie named Al-chan and asked to be friends. Kagome learned ventriloquism through Al-chan and grew more confident. The two became inseparable.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kagome&#039;s family moved due to her father&#039;s job transfer, Hibari put a charm on Al-chan with a secret wish. They promised to meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message from Hibari saying she will visit Kamihama. Kagome prepares to show her around.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives in Kamihama. Kagome is happy to see her. They go to the arcade. On the way, they run into Himena and her group. Kagome introduces Hibari. Later, Kagome helps Shizuka, who was lost and struggling with a foreigner. Hibari is impressed by how much Kagome has grown.&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the arcade. Hibari wins a plushie from a difficult crane game in one try. Juri, Yuna, and Ao appear. Juri asks Hibari to win a prize for her. Hibari succeeds. Juri offers a drink as thanks, but Hibari declines.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari suddenly feels faint and goes to get change. She does not return. Kagome becomes worried. Yuna and the others sense a Witch. Juri and Ao go to defeat it while Kagome and Yuna search for Hibari. Kagome receives a call from Hibari, who says goodbye and hangs up. Kagome fears the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large group of people under Witch&#039;s Kisses begins heading toward a rooftop. Kagome coordinates with nearby Magical Girls for help. Himena, Shigure, Miyuri, and Yuna hold them off. Reinforcements from other Magical Girls are delayed due to incidents elsewhere. The situation grows dire.&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka finally checks her phone and sees Kagome&#039;s emergency messages. The Tokime Clan arrives and helps stop the crowd. Juri and Ao defeat the Witch. Livia appears to assist. Everyone is safe.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hibari wakes up. Livia explains she fainted due to anemia. Hibari admits she felt left behind seeing Kagome surrounded by friends.

They promise to remain best friends forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yuna&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna and Hikaru discuss school troubles. A girl complains about a PE teacher who measured her skirt length and made her late for class. Yuna promises to discuss the matter with the Student Council.

Hikaru pledges to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yunass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yuna Kureha#Side Story|Yuna&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Senpai advises her to take responsibility to the end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yunass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Yuna holds a meeting with the Parents&#039; Association and teachers to discuss school rule changes. The Parents&#039; Association opposes loosening rules on hair color and hairstyle. Yuna argues that freedom develops autonomy. Hikaru testifies that quitting her club to support Yuna&#039;s campaign improved her grades. The principal proposes a one-year trial. The Parents&#039; Association agrees. Yuna reveals she had already negotiated with the principal and teachers in advance. Hikaru praises her like a politician.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yunass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yuna takes the lead while Juri remains competitive. Ao recalls how she wished for friends to play board games with, but those friendships faded when she lost interest. She realizes she did not truly wish for friends—she wished for convenient existences.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Aoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ao reflects on being exploited by the Monzenbashi group and how Juri destroyed them. Ao united the weaker Magical Girls into Janomiya. She resolves to be cunning for survival.

*Day 2 (Flashback)&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna explains that Juri lost to her and her senpai, which is why she joined Torayamachi. The group hunted Kyubey to stop him from recruiting Magical Girls. Kyubey agreed to leave Futatsugi. With Kyubey gone, Witches decreased, creating a Grief Seed shortage. Yuna proposed an expedition to find new territory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Day 3&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri&#039;s father came home late, discussing his upcoming land deal and boxing match against an old rival. He said he could not ignore past stains and needed to win. Juri reflected on how much she and her father were alike. She decided she needed to settle her own score with Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 4&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri struggled at school, frustrated by classmates who avoided conflict and teachers who enabled them. Her anger built up. She reflected on how she became a Magical Girl—she wished for a patient, stout heart to stay in school and not burden her father. The wish gave her patience but did not eliminate her anger; it built up as flames until she exploded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl Yuna introduced continued to spar with Juri. The girl revealed Juri had saved her from a Witch, and she admired Juri. Yuna appeared, and Juri realized Yuna had set up the arrangement to help her release stress. Juri still felt unsatisfied.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 5&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri prepared for their duel. Ryuugasaki and Torayamachi factions learned of the fight and gathered to watch, tensions rising. Juri&#039;s father won his boxing match and land deal. Juri and Yuna fought. Juri screamed that she wanted to fight the Yuna who had defeated her, not her ally. The girl rushed in to stop them. Juri&#039;s attack could not be stopped, and she fatally struck the girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 6&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri was in shock. The factions argued, blaming each other. Juri silenced them, declared she would leave Torayamachi, and announced Ryuugasaki&#039;s independence. She told her followers to follow her. Yuna said she hated Juri. Juri said she had put a nail in Yuna&#039;s coffin and dared her to pry it out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 7 (Present Day)&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri explained the rest of the story to the group. The accident triggered the Blood Tragedy of Futatsugi. Ranka had been exploited by Monzenbashi Bat, and Ao formed Janomiya. Juri reflected that the recent months had been the toughest. She came home late again. Her father asked about her absences. Juri said she was fighting for the future and would explain in a few months. She reflected on how much she and her father were alike, both unable to ignore past stains. She said she liked being with him, just the two of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shizuka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime trio goes shopping and stops by Emiri’s office, where they meet Hinano and Kanoko. After awkward introductions, Shizuka admits she does not know what a factory is, so Kanoko explains. Emiri asks what country life is like; Chiharu and Sunao give different answers from Shizuka since they are more familiar with modern living. They mention meeting only recently, surprising Emiri. Shizuka proudly explains they are bound by their duty to protect Japan, and Emiri says, “As long as you have no regrets, it’s okay.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The comment makes Shizuka pause, because she never considered regrets; she had eagerly accepted her wish to break an economic agreement without understanding it, trusting it was for Japan’s good. After thinking it over, she searches for information with help from others, but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka and Chiharu ask their mothers. Chiharu’s mother recalls the economic breakup was on the news but remembers little, saying it mainly affected industrial status quo. Unsatisfied, Shizuka decides the next day to view the elder’s files.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The recording reveals her wish was bought by a man who wanted to save factories from closure. Shizuka is devastated to learn she was used, but she forces a brave face and intensifies training her tribe members.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sunao and Chiharu, troubled by Shizuka’s state, remember Kanoko’s family factory and seek Emiri’s help to contact her.

Shigure wants to convince Touka and Nemu to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Hagumu is conflicted—she cannot trust the Magius after being exploited, but she also cannot decide what to do. She asks for time to think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hagumu Azumi#Side Story|Hagumu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu meets Maria, a former Magius member who joined the Union. Maria notices Hagumu looks unwell and offers to listen. Hagumu explains her dilemma: she cannot agree with the Union&#039;s ideology, but she also cannot follow Shigure&#039;s plan. Maria suggests Hagumu ask other Magical Girls how they decided.

** Hagumu asks Moka why she joined the Union. Moka says she joined because she was invited and everyone is kind.

** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches.

She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She fell in love with the feeling of cutting through the wind and quickly improved, eventually competing in freestyle competitions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Miyuri Yukari#Side Story|Miyuri&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s social anxiety worsened. She began experiencing panic attacks at competitions and could no longer compete. Her parents signed her up with the Hikarizuka Youth Association to help her interact with people. There, she met San for the first time. San invited her to dance practice. Miyuri fainted from overexcitement while watching San&#039;s legs. She realized she had a leg fetish and that it triggered her anxiety. She began avoiding San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s skating practice suffered. Her mother suggested she visit the Community Center. Miyuri avoided San again and went outside to practice skating alone at night. She felt free and happy while skating. San saw her dancing in the moonlight and was mesmerized. San decided she wanted to help Miyuri grow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish. San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training.

Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Her wish saved the field and gave hope to others. She admits her improved health was partly due to becoming a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The meal is delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After making the newspaper, Nayuta and Mikage fall asleep. Lavi reflects on her past. She reveals that she never found joy in living despite her family&#039;s efforts. Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true. She asks for a little more time in her beloved daily life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun. Everyone apologizes, and they end the day with a shared dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** In the dream, Alexandra&#039;s teacher appears—but he looks like Shigure. Other people appear as Himena and Hagumu. She recalls that her teacher was her math teacher and club advisor. He was strict and had a reputation for being scary. Alexandra remembers how she would complain about him with her classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After club activities, Alexandra wants to practice singing more. She goes to the rooftop and finds the teacher there. He allows her to practice under his supervision.

He mentions that being an adult is not that great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Alexandra feels sorrow and wants him to be happy. She begins planning to improve his reputation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love.

* Urara and Lavi travel to Yukuni. Urara loses her wallet, but Lavi finds it. At the agency, Urara&#039;s manager asks her to coach a children&#039;s diabolo class as a final job. Urara accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the diabolo class, Urara teaches the class alone. Some children struggle to follow her teaching style. Lavi, Alexandra, and Asahi watch from a distance. During lunch, Urara admits she cannot explain techniques well. Lavi analyzes the wrist angles and timing, and the others offer to help. The class is a success.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Urara feels inadequate and misses her former partner, Kurara. She remembers Kurara was better at teaching. Lavi notices Urara is depressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Several days later, Urara returns to Yukuni to pick up her resignation papers. Lavi accompanies her. Urara admits she misses Kurara. Lavi warns her that reconciliation is unlikely, but Urara insists on trying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the agency, Urara confronts Kurara. Kurara reveals she always resented being compared to Urara&#039;s natural talent and felt like &amp;quot;Not-Urara.&amp;quot; She says breaking up the duo was for the best and asks Urara to stop involving herself. Urara is devastated. She returns to Kamihama and cries to Lavi, who comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Urara receives a message from her manager. A girl named Rei from the diabolo class wants more lessons. Urara agrees to meet her. Rei wants to learn the &amp;quot;Urara Special&amp;quot; to beat a prodigy her age. Urara remembers how she unknowingly hurt Kurara by copying her tricks too easily. She decides to coach Rei properly. Lavi offers to stay and help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Nayuta&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta dreams of proving folkloric studies superior to Touka, but Lavi wakes her with obnoxious humming. Lavi scolds her for being a deep sleeper and rushes her to school in Takarazaki City, where Nayuta complains that Lavi acts like a stern stepmother rather than a kind maid her age.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In class, a self‑assessment exercise has Nayuta describe herself as quiet and diligent, but her peers call her stubborn, someone who hates losing and speaks her mind. She reluctantly accepts “stubborn” fits her persistent search for her father. The teacher introduces the Johari Window, explaining that without communication people understand themselves at most fifty percent and others only twenty‑five percent—a lesson that sticks with Nayuta.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Nayuta meets Iroha at the train station. Both are surprised the other remembers them. They discover they are the same grade and both hail from Takarazaki, and Iroha mentions she also searched for a lost loved one. Nayuta requests to see Yachiyo, apologizing for her bluntness. Iroha reassures her, noting they are both stubborn junior‑high girls from Takarazaki who came to Kamihama to find someone important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Yachiyo has no new information about Nayuta’s father. Tsuruno has Nayuta show a photo, but no one recognizes him. Felicia suggests Nayuta simply ask Touka, since she also grew up at Satomi Medical Center. Nayuta refuses, saying she cannot trust Touka, and apologizes for her stubbornness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Nayuta admits to Lavi she slept poorly because she cannot stop thinking about Touka. Mikage arrives, upset after a fight with Sudachi: Mikage complained about school, Sudachi said she envied Mikage for being able to attend, and they argued over whose position was harder.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home. Lavi approves of her standing her ground, and Nayuta realizes she and Lavi are more alike than she thought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Himika tells her about Emiri’s counseling center, so they go there together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the center, Emiri, Sasara, Asuka, and Kanoko are delighted to meet Mitama’s little sister. Mikage explains she is looking for a friend, but Emiri points out they are already her friends. After some banter about fashion, Mikage tries on Kanoko’s outfits and has a wonderful time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mikage wonders if the older girls truly see her as a friend or just as a kid. Himika suggests she meet girls her own age like Ui, Touka, and Nemu, though Mikage is uncertain about befriending the geniuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When she returns home, Mitama warns her that Ui has been kidnapped by Promised Blood and forbids Mikage from associating with the Kamihama Magia Union. Mikage reluctantly agrees but is frustrated her efforts to make friends have been stopped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama leaves for work and Mikage accuses her of hypocrisy—Mitama can spend time with the KMU while Mikage cannot. She runs out, declaring she will find a new big sister. She finds Emiri’s office closed but runs into Rika and Ren, who quickly realize she is Mitama’s sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Mikage bond over fashion and go to some cheap stores, where Mikage realizes she left her wallet. They play a crane game instead, and Rika wins stuffed animals for Ren and Mikage. Mikage asks Rika to be her big sister; Rika declines but encourages her to talk to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory. Kanoko lets her help make a pendant, but before Mikage can convince her to become her sister, Mitama arrives and drags her home. Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any. Later, she finds Mitama has made all her favorite foods, and they reconcile off‑screen; Mikage gives Mitama the pendant she made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage declares she will not give up on making Kamihama Magia Union friends. She then decides that since Lavi and Nayuta are older, they can be her big sisters instead. They exchange a look and agree to treat her for one day. Mikage expresses her hope that someday she and Sudachi can play with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited again. She jokes about the visitor&#039;s persistence. Yozuru and Sudachi return from stocking up on essentials. Sudachi trips, and Yozuru hesitates to help. Livia instructs Yozuru to help Sudachi stand and dust her off. Yozuru apologizes and explains she is not equipped with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the trailer, Yozuru offers tea. Sudachi wants teacakes. Livia allows them to have some as a treat. Livia reflects that she needs to help the girls mature. Yozuru has lost compassion, while Sudachi needs to find her words. Livia believes they will complement each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is found sleeping and crying. Yozuru gives her a handkerchief. Livia says crying in sleep happens occasionally and is common among Coordinators. She thanks Sudachi for finding her dropped ring. Sudachi sulks when Livia refuses to give her sweets as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the ring is a treasure and a way of reprimanding herself. It is the reason she lives for &amp;quot;Mister Sun.&amp;quot; She says she may tell the full story another time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia shares her philosophy: no matter how awful life is, do not drift in a bad direction or relieve resentment with a curse. Magical Girls are born from hope and must overcome struggles with hope. She warns against corrupting purity and urges supporting those with pure hearts. She says she has said enough for now and will share the rest when she is ready. She asks the visitor to promise to live strong, face forward, and not end up like her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After the battle, Nanaka explains Lil&#039; Kyubey followed her into the labyrinth and returned a flower she dropped. Nanaka asks Ryo to tell Lil&#039; Kyubey to stop visiting unfriendly Magical Girls. Ryo realizes Lil&#039; Kyubey avoids girls with potential and is not soliciting anyone.

This is also belonging to the anime partly. Write the main part on the magia record and then the second part on the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices. Kyubey, whom she calls a talking cat, keeps urging her to make a contract, but she does not know what to wish for—though she finds herself wishing God could speak to humans like Kyubey does.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the boy reads the fairy tale Kuroe recommended. He questions a detail in the story, but Kuroe simply accepts it because the writer says so. He jokes that he feels alive because Kuroe thinks so deeply, meaning it as a compliment. Later a teacher asks about her high school plans; Kuroe claims she has decided, but she is merely following her family’s expectations and secretly does not want to go to high school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey continues pressing her. Kuroe wonders whether it would be acceptable to let others fulfill her desires for her. She asks peers what they would wish for, but ends up jealous of those with elaborate fantasies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kuroe goes to the train station and senses a Witch. Inside the Labyrinth, she saves a young, inexperienced Magical Girl. When the girl asks for a spare Grief Seed, Kuroe lies and says the Witch got away. The girl promises they will both become strong and leaves.

She says she is going to die tomorrow and runs off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe dreams of Iroha, though she cannot understand her words. Her Doppel reflects that her contract gave her affirmation of existence, yet she still does not feel like anyone - she simply adapts to whatever situation she is in, resented by no one and dependent on no one, but still wondering who she should be. In the dream, Iroha asks what scares her and offers to figure out who Kuroe is together. Kuroe wakes up wondering why she dreamed of the camping trip, and she calls Iroha, deciding she wants to connect with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroeds&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Doppel Story|Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sasara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara is taken hostage at knifepoint in a convenience store. Despite her desire to be a knight, she is too terrified to act. Though the police arrest the criminal and she is safe, Sasara feels ashamed and hates herself for her cowardice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sasara Minagi#Side Story|Sasara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sasara meets Kyubey and when he makes his offer, Sasara accepts without hesitation. As her father works for an emergency rescue squad, a job she admires, he gave her a favorite picture book about a knight who defeats a dragon to save a village. Sasara carries this book everywhere and has always wanted to be like her father and the knight. She wishes to become a knight who can protect and save people, asking for a stronger heart and stronger convictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Sasara has been hunting witches and saving their victims ever since making her contract. She calls herself the Knight who protects the people of Kamihama, but over time her feelings become tainted. The people she rescues never remember what happened and do not acknowledge her. Sasara realizes she wants someone to appreciate her and questions whether she really wanted to become a knight at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book. She thought she could accept the people she helped not talking to her, but now it feels like she does not even exist. When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nanaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Needs to be re-checked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako to ask for their help fighting a witch they all share a connection to. To explain why she needs them, Nanaka tells them how she became a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka&#039;s father headed a traditional Japanese flower arranging school, but when he fell ill, senior students took over and grew the school&#039;s popularity while abandoning its traditions, shutting out Nanaka&#039;s family entirely. On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform. She decided to lay the Soul Gem with its owner&#039;s body, and when she placed the gem in the girl&#039;s hands, the girl began breathing again. Later, Kyubey explained that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Kyubey asks if Nanaka will tell the others this secret, but she says she is waiting for the right moment. Nanaka then reflects that her true revenge target is actually Kyubey himself. Her power makes it clear he is her enemy, though she does not know all the details, and she is waiting for the right time to turn against him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Nanaka&#039;s team is still unable to find the witch. Akira reports meeting a magical girl mercenary. As the girls plan their next move, Nanaka muses about how she is gathering the determination of magical girls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Shizuku&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Re-check.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuku enjoys time with her friends but feels disconnected from them and uncertain about her future. She finds comfort in Fūnī, a traveler who visits her family&#039;s cafe and shares his dream of finding a place to belong. When he invites her to search with him, she feels hopeful that she will not be alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Fūnī dies in an accident, and Shizuku makes a contract with Kyubey, wishing to be taken to him instantly. She arrives at the hospital as he dies, begging him not to leave her. She resolves to continue searching for a place to belong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As a magical girl, Shizuku gains the power to connect spaces, allowing her to travel the world much like Fūnī once did. She continues her search, taking jobs from an unknown magical girl who pays her to use her power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day after a job, Yachiyo Nanami, Tsuruno Yui, and Iroha Tamaki approach her. Iroha invites Shizuku to their house, where she meets Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba. She stays for dinner and overnight, observing how the five girls live together like a family. Yachiyo invites her to stay as long as she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku realizes the other girls have found their place to belong, but she understands that her own place was with Fūnī. She cries as his last words finally make sense to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, Shizuku ends her arrangement with the unknown magical girl and returns to Yachiyo&#039;s house, hoping she can stay there. When she arrives, the house is empty, and she sees the personal items that mark each girl&#039;s place. Overhearing them return, she realizes their home is complete with five people and she does not belong there. She leaves quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and the others had prepared a welcome party with cake, but Shizuku never comes. Yachiyo senses that Shizuku might disappear if you look away and admits she should have seen this coming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku returns to the unknown magical girl and asks for more work. When asked why she came back, she says their picture was complete with five people and she must keep searching for where she belongs. She mentally apologizes to Yachiyo, knowing her actions will cause disaster but feeling unprepared to take responsibility. She wonders if she will ever find solid ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Akira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After Nanaka and Sasara contracts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Akira wakes from a dream about being attacked by a familiar and finds Sasara Minagi nearby, who is out for a walk. Sasara offers to help Akira search for an old man&#039;s lost cane, recalling she saw children playing with a red cane, and the two head off together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akira Shinobu#Side Story|Akira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akira reflects on her upbringing in her father&#039;s karate dojo, where she learned to always help those in need and earned the neighborhood nickname &amp;quot;Troubleshooter&amp;quot; starting at age six.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira started middle school, a girl asked her to be a bodyguard against a stalker. The girl brought her to a park, confessed her love, and admitted to lying about the stalker. Akira politely rejected her, saying she didn&#039;t know much about that sort of thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Akira learned the girl had vanished and spent days searching for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day Akira found the barrier, she retraced the girl&#039;s steps in the park and stepped into a witch&#039;s labyrinth. She found the missing girl among blank-faced victims marked by a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Kyubey appeared, explained about witches and magical girls, and offered a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Familiars attacked and overwhelmed her despite her karate training. Injured, Akira wished to save all those people, transformed, and destroyed the familiars.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, none of the victims remembered the incident. Kyubey told Akira she needed to defeat the witch itself, which became her destiny as a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a magical girl, Akira patrolled Kamihama investigating witch-related incidents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day, she encountered a familiar without transforming and dropped her Soul Gem. Unable to retrieve it, she fled the barrier and collapsed unconscious outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira woke, Nanaka Tokiwa introduced herself as the magical girl who found her and picked up her Soul Gem. Nanaka advised withdrawing since Akira had collapsed, and Akira reluctantly agreed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Nanaka called asking for a favor. When they met again, Nanaka requested a duel, claiming Akira was weak and should quit hunting witches. Akira refused, citing her family&#039;s dojo, and they dueled. After some fighting, Nanaka ended the duel and apologized. She explained she wanted to test Akira&#039;s resolve and invited her to work together as a team. Akira relented after Nanaka claimed she was troubled and couldn&#039;t fight witches alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present day, Akira returns the cane to the old man and thanks Sasara. She reflects on meeting many magical girls since joining Nanaka and wonders how many exist in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Manaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes Manaka cooking at her family&#039;s failing restaurant, Walnuts. She dreams of following her father&#039;s footsteps as a chef and believes that gaining admission to the prestigious St. Lillianna Academy will help her cook like a high class lady and restore the restaurant&#039;s popularity. Kyubey notes her poor grades make passing unlikely, but Manaka insists this is her father&#039;s last chance and resolves to study.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Manaka Kurumi#Side Story|Manaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Upon starting at Mizuna, Manaka visits the student council and offers to cook for an upcoming joint assembly with St. Lillian. The council dismisses her, explaining they already arranged a chef.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Walking home, Kyubey again offers a contract. Fed up, Manaka accepts but wishes not for the restaurant&#039;s success, but for a chance to spread their restaurant&#039;s flavors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the assembly, Manaka begins selling popular bentos at school and works as a visiting chef at St. Lillian every Thursday.

Meanwhile, her father receives invitations to tour as a chef and seems genuinely happy traveling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt; Manaka questions why she even bothered trying.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Manaka finishes selling bentos and keeps one for herself. Sana Futaba rushes in, upset at arriving too late.

Sana accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana promises to arrive earlier tomorrow, but Manaka reveals this may be her last day selling bentos. She admits she thinks she made her restaurant even more obscure, and if she is not helping it, she sees no point in cooking.

Seeing Sana smile gives Manaka new motivation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ria asks Manaka to be her bodyguard while buying the magazine featuring her article, wearing sunglasses to avoid being seen. Inside, she discovers her article occupies only one page, while Yachiyo has an eight-page spread. Furious and convinced Yachiyo did it on purpose, Ria tears the magazine in half, and the clerk charges her for it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;riass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ria Ami#Side Story|Ria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ria encourages her not to let failure discourage her, insisting she has talent. Tsumugi decides to make a contract with Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Manaka and Ria fight familiars in a witch&#039;s barrier. Tsumugi suddenly appears and uses her new magic to consume a familiar&#039;s attack, gaining power from it. The three defeat the witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Walnuts afterward, Tsumugi honestly criticizes Manaka&#039;s omelette, explaining her wish now forces her to tell the truth about food. In a flashback, she wished to help Manaka by learning what she could do. She realized she needed to give objective criticism to truly help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Tsumugi helps Manaka close Walnuts. She notices Manaka changed the recipe based on her feedback.

===Ren&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren stands on a rooftop, contemplating suicide. Kyubey warns her that if she repeats her previous actions, her Soul Gem will be destroyed. Ren understands. She thinks about how people have always said hurtful things and believes she cannot live in such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nearby, Rika defeats a Witch and sees Ren about to jump. She saves her and asks why she wants to die. Ren cannot answer. She reflects on her childhood: she has always had trouble speaking and was teased and bullied for it. She attempted suicide once before but was scared of dying. Kyubey appeared and granted her wish to live.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explained that the bullying was caused by a Witch&#039;s influence—Witches hurt people, who then hurt others. Ren resolved to destroy Witches to create a better world. However, no matter how many Witches she defeated, people still acted cruelly. Kyubey told her that even destroying all Witches would not remove malice from people&#039;s hearts. This is why Ren wanted to die again, but she cannot explain any of this to Rika.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika takes Ren to meet other Magical Girls. At Emiri&#039;s Trouble Consultation Office, Ren meets Akira but cannot introduce herself and nearly cries. Emiri brings her to Ria, who gives her hand cream, and Konomi, who gives her chamomile tea. Rika then takes Ren to the chemistry club, where Hinano gives her candy instead of medicine. They visit Kanoko at her family&#039;s metal factory, where Kanoko shows a dress she designed with mushroom motifs and gives Ren accessories made of metal sheets. Emiri leaves, and Rika admits she never actually listened to Ren&#039;s problem.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika shares her own story: she wished for someone she loved to love her back, even though that person already liked someone else. She says she stole that love with a selfish wish and asks Ren if she thinks she is a horrible person. Ren manages to say she does not think so. Rika is relieved. She explains that to get others to open up, you must share the secrets that create distance.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren tries to tell her story but cannot get the words out and begins crying. Rika tells her not to force herself. She shows Ren all the gifts she received from the others and says that if all these people were thinking about her, she should continue to live. She says the world is filled with both bad and beautiful things, and the most painful thing is to have nothing. Ren says she will live. Rika leaves, and Ren thanks her. Ren thinks that if Rika can accept her story, she will be able to live forever.&lt;br /&gt;

===Konoha&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoha manages the finances and makes decisions for Hazuki and Ayame. When Hazuki calls to say she&#039;s stuck at meetings and suggests take-out, Konoha decides to cook instead to save money. Despite Hazuki&#039;s warnings, Ayame tries Konoha&#039;s cooking. Later, Hazuki returns to find Ayame sick; Konoha learns Ayame was too polite to refuse the food. Hazuki offers to handle meals from now on, which prompts Konoha to resolve that she will learn to make delicious food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konoha Shizumi#Side Story|Konoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha buys cookware and studies cooking theory, suspecting Hazuki might be a cooking prodigy. She makes a disastrous meal incorporating everything she read, and Hazuki collapses after tasting it. Ayame brings home a flyer for a cooking class at &amp;quot;Youshoku Walnuts,&amp;quot; noting that the food there made Hazuki cry. Ayame encourages Konoha, and Konoha resolves to take the class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Konoha meets the teacher, Manaka Kurumi, at the restaurant. Manaka attempts to teach knife skills and how to crack eggs, but Konoha struggles with both. Manaka promises to help her improve. She has Konoha make practice dishes, but Konoha burns oil, over-dashes rice, and explodes miso soup, so Manaka has to take over each time. When finished, Manaka tastes it, insists it&#039;s good to protect her reputation, eats it all, and passes out. Konoha tries the leftovers and confirms it is truly terrible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha hunts a witch with her team while distracted by thoughts about cooking. After they defeat it, Himika Mao arrives late, introduces herself, and asks if they are sisters; Hazuki explains they are not. Himika mentions she is thirteen with five younger siblings. When Ayame asks about being an older sister, Himika invites her to meet her family. Konoha asks to come as Ayame&#039;s guardian upon learning Himika cooks for her family, and Himika accepts. Hazuki says she will prepare dinner at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, at Himika&#039;s house, Konoha and Ayame observe the cramped living space. Himika explains she uses cheap leftover meat blends from a disposal man to feed her family. She serves dinner, and all her siblings along with Ayame eat. When Konoha asks if the food is tasty, the siblings say they never think it&#039;s bad because Himika does her best. Konoha reflects on Azalea&#039;s House and realizes she was too focused on theory rather than on who she was cooking for. She thanks Himika and leaves with Ayame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, Ayame and Hazuki find Konoha cooking again. Konoha promises to give up if she fails this time. Focusing on her feelings rather than theory, she makes a meal from Azalea&#039;s. Hazuki and Ayame try it and say it&#039;s bad, but it&#039;s edible. Konoha is excited that someone could actually eat her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ayame returns home to find Konoha cooking again. Hazuki observes that Konoha has found joy in the act of cooking. Konoha narrates that she learned cooking is about heart, and could now make food people could finish. She thinks cooking is fun, though Ayame and Hazuki sometimes scream loud enough to startle the neighbors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Konoha attempts beef stroganoff, a dish Hazuki admits is difficult. Hazuki and Ayame try it and collapse. Konoha says she will redo it. She narrates that experience matters, and wonders what to try next.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hazuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame meet with Nanaka, Meiyui, Akira, and Kako at a restaurant to discuss how to handle situations where both teams target the same Witch. Meiyui proposes a first-come, first-served rule, but Hazuki points out it would lead to disputes over who arrived first. Ayame suggests settling conflicts with rock-paper-scissors, and though Meiyui argues there&#039;s no time for games in battle, Hazuki has them try it on the spot. When Ayame and Meiyui play, Meiyui uses a martial arts technique to change Ayame&#039;s hand, causing an argument between the groups. Hazuki calms everyone down and suggests they go home for the day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hazuki Yusa#Side Story|Hazuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls reconvene at the restaurant. Hazuki proposes a new rule: anyone who uses magic against a Witch gains proportional rights to the Grief Seed. Both teams agree, and Hazuki suggests they gather data by hunting together. They split into mixed teams—Ayame and Kako form one; Hazuki, Akira, and Meiyui another and Konoha and Nanaka stand by to help as needed. After the successful joint hunt, Nanaka meets with Hazuki alone at the restaurant. She reveals she believes Hazuki manipulated the entire situation from the first meeting, noting that her team was impressed with Hazuki&#039;s group&#039;s teamwork but that she herself was more struck by Hazuki&#039;s modus operandi. Nanaka asks why Hazuki orchestrated everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki admits she wanted Konoha, who is introverted, to connect with others and that after the Witch fight, Konoha seemed genuinely happy. She explains her goal was simply to build connections between her group and other Kamihama Magical Girls. Nanaka accepts this and says she&#039;s glad to work with her. Later, Hazuki writes in her notebook that Nanaka is shrewd but fascinating, and she resolves to continue reaching out to other Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ayame&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame encounters Felicia during a Witch fight, and their rivalry quickly escalates when Felicia dismisses Ayame&#039;s challenge to lead the girls to argue and accidentally let the Witch escape. Frustrated by losing to Felicia specifically, Ayame confronts her afterward, and despite Kako&#039;s attempts to mediate, the two insist on settling things through some competition. Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch. Emerging back in the park, Felicia thanks Ayame, and they realize the race was never finished. They resume, but Ayame admits she&#039;s fine with not winning and she has come to accept Felicia as a strong rival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ayamess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ayame Mikuri#Side Story|Ayame&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Masara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro gives Masara cookies simply because she wants to, leaving Masara confused by the gesture. Masara flashes back to their first meeting, when Kokoro had blamed herself for being unable to protect others and Masara told her she should not carry that guilt. Kokoro had asked to stay by Masara&#039;s side, explaining that those words had saved her. In the present, Kokoro asks what Masara is thinking about, and when Masara admits she was remembering their first meeting, Kokoro smiles. Masara does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Masara Kagami#Side Story|Masara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara visits Mitama for magical strengthening, bringing many Grief Seeds with her. Mitama notes her unusual enthusiasm, and Masara explains she wants to get stronger in order to find something that might change her life. Mitama suggests she try attending a summer festival and hands her a flyer, but Masara shows no interest. When Mitama brings up Kokoro, mentioning that Kokoro has talked about her, Masara insists they are merely working together, not friends, and finds Kokoro&#039;s expectations troublesome. Mitama claims Masara is actually worried about Kokoro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara reflects on her childhood, remembering how her parents had her swim from a young age. Despite showing talent, she never felt any joy or sense of accomplishment, though she continued hoping it might eventually change. It never did. She became a magical girl thinking her dull life might finally become interesting, but even that eventually grew boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead. The Witch targets Kokoro, and Masara injures herself by blocking the attack. The Witch escapes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro apologizes, but Masara claims she only did what was most logical, since the Witch could not have been defeated alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Masara keeps flashing back to the moment the Witch attacked Kokoro whenever she looks at her injury. The recurring memory bothers her, though she does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Kokoro offers to hunt the Witch again with Masara. Masara flashes back to the previous fight and insists she will hunt it alone. She tells Kokoro she is a burden and that she does not like getting hurt. Masara leaves Kokoro crying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara tells Mitama what happened. Mitama suggests Masara was actually trying to protect Kokoro. Masara is at a loss and wonders why being around Kokoro causes her to get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro blames herself for causing Masara trouble. She senses the same Witch and, respecting Masara&#039;s wish to hunt alone, decides to fight it by herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help. Masara agrees and tells Kokoro to call her next time. When Kokoro worries about causing trouble, Masara insists she is doing it for herself, because she does not like seeing Kokoro get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Kokoro notices the summer festival flyer and asks if Masara is interested. Masara admits she is a little interested.

Kokoro and Masara are confused by her comment, which exasperates Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Desperate to help, she wished to Kyubey to cure the florist&#039;s illness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;!--The Flashback: Their First Meeting--&amp;gt;Kaede and Kako visit the shop for the first time. Kako searches for a specific flower, which Konomi identifies. During tea break, Kako explains she read about the flowers in a novel and wants to buy some for a friend&#039;s birthday. Kaede admits she has never given flowers but receiving them once felt wonderful. Konomi smiles and says she has an idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of the flower giveaway, Konomi, Kaede, and Kako take to the streets, suddenly appearing to hand bouquets to strangers before disappearing. A lottery winner, a despairing old man, and a boy who just got a girl&#039;s number all receive flowers. Later, the girls reunite. Kaede gave to ten people, Kako to thirteen. Konomi apologizes, but they agree to try again the day after tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Konomi, Kaede, and Kako realize they are the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi panics, fearing they have made people hate flowers. They notice a little girl crying because her mother refused to buy her a toy ring. Konomi offers a flower, but the girl wants a ring. Kako fashions the flower into a ring, and the girl calls it pretty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi realizes they have been giving flowers without understanding what recipients truly want. She decides to create something more meaningful.

They prepare a fair at the shop to showcase it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi shows the cake to the florist, who gives a muted reaction and announces her retirement, planning to leave Konomi the shop.

===Rika&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Hinano, Emiri, Ria, Manaka, Akira&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Rika is invited to a blind date by Emiri Kisaki, who brings along Hinano Miyako, a girl recently heartbroken. When the boys on the date mock Hinano&#039;s youthful appearance and odd way of speaking, Rika surprises her by defending them. Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her. Emiri and Rika quickly reassure Hinano, with Rika adding that Hinano is actually cool for having been able to confess her feelings—unlike Rika, who never confessed at all and watched her crush end up with someone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri then suggests Rika should make a wish, revealing that she and Hinano are magical girls who each received one wish in exchange for fighting monsters. Rika wonders if this is some kind of game. Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika muses that her wish was granted and she is now dating her crush, yet she feels deeply unhappy. When Kyubey asks what is wrong, she admits that every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens with unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ria warns Mayu that her sweet, innocent air attracts older men and that if things continue, his family will fall apart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home that night, Mayu reflects on the day she learned of her father&#039;s death and on Ria&#039;s words. Kyubey appears and offers a contract. Thinking she does not want her boss&#039;s family to suffer the same hardship her family did, Mayu makes her wish: to stop his family from breaking apart. That night, she narrates that her boss transferred to a new job, and she is sure her wish was granted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later at school, Mayu finds boys have started hitting on her. Ria constantly steps in to drive them off. Before Ria can finish telling Mayu to shape up, they both sense a Witch. The girls reveal they are Magical Girls, and they track the Witch to the museum&#039;s special exhibit room. Sayuki suddenly appears and reveals she is also a Magical Girl. During the fight, Mayu notices the Witch only targets Ria. She asks Sayuki to lend her strength and launches a surprise attack, destroying the Witch. Afterward, Mayu thinks that to protect people she must think clearly before acting, and Ria admits Mayu was more reliable than usual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As a child, Sayuki attends an idol performance with her parents, but when the crowd becomes dangerously wild, she is almost squeezed to death, leaving her with lasting trauma.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayuki Fumino#Side Story|Sayuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Growing up in a happy family, Sayuki develops a deep interest in katanas that creates a gap between her and her classmates. Though they respect her passion, she feels lonely without someone to share it with. This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert. Sayuki believes speaking out is important no matter the outcome and swears to protect the kind people who have been kind to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka. Moka thanks Alina for saving her and says she has now made new friends, resolving to devote herself to exterminating witches and admitting she is only a little afraid of them now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Riko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Sis = Miss K. Check what Exedra says&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Years ago, Riko spent her childhood with a cheerful older neighbor girl she called &amp;quot;Sis&amp;quot; while her parents worked long hours at their family bento shop. They grew as close as sisters until Sis became engaged to marry someone far away. When Sis&#039;s father suddenly opposed the match despite approving it before, Riko wished upon Kyubey that everyone would give their blessings to the marriage. Her wish worked, and Sis moved away happily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Riko Chiaki#Side Story|Riko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Riko struggles with loneliness waiting alone at home while her parents work overtime. One night, after they call to say they cannot return until after midnight due to a huge order, years of broken promises finally overwhelm her. She snaps, calls them liars who were never there for her like Sis was, and tells them she hates them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko goes Witch hunting to vent her stress but nearly dies against a stronger Witch. In that moment, despair crushes her and she wishes she had never made her wish so Sis would still be there. Tsukasa, a regular at her family&#039;s shop, finds her crying and listens as Riko confides everything about her feelings and what happened with Sis. Speaking from experience, Tsukasa tells her that separation is no excuse for broken contact and recommends she reach out to Sis directly. Riko messages Sis that night before falling asleep exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sis replies promptly. She explains she wanted to contact Riko but left home after arguing with her father and thought a visit would be awkward. She also reveals she was hospitalized to give birth and only discharged that day, inviting Riko to come see her instead. When Riko asks her parents for permission, expecting them to refuse, they apologize sincerely and grant permission for the trip.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Riko visits Sis with her parents. Sis introduces her husband and newborn daughter, hoping Riko will get along with her child just as they once got along. Riko makes a silent promise to be a good sister to this baby and aims to grow into a fine lady, just like Sis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maria&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Maria bids her parents goodbye for the day. Her mother gives her money for dinner, which Maria insists on keeping only a small portion of, and Maria mentions she will be at her part‑time daycare job after school. On her way to school, she runs into two little girls, one of whom attends the daycare where she works.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the daycare, the children swarm Maria with requests. She notices a boy named Shin‑kun looking down and tries to find out what is wrong, but he does not want to talk. Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work. Maria suggests she spend a day with Shin to reconnect, and Shin’s mother agrees. Maria promises to put together a plan by the weekend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Maria’s classmates tease her about being a widow with a love child, and she plays along before explaining she is helping a mother and son from the daycare. Later she presents her weekend plans to Shin’s mother, who is impressed and begins looking forward to the outing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, Maria goes to the park where she knows Shin and his mother should be. She watches as they struggle to connect: Shin wants to play in a fountain, but his mother cannot explain why he should not, and they end up standing awkwardly. Maria pretends to run into them and decides to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to the playground, where Maria encourages Shin to try a tightrope bridge. When he gets nervous, she prompts his mother to take his hand, and together they cross. After lunch, Shin’s mother gets a call from work asking her to come in on her day off. She agrees, and Shin looks heartbroken. Maria offers to watch Shin until dark, and his mother gratefully accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria takes Shin to various places, and he sadly remarks that his mother is too busy for him. Understanding his loneliness, Maria vows to make the day special. At the aquarium she convinces him to see a show he ends up loving. As evening falls, they stop for takoyaki, and Maria explains that his mother tells him not to eat while walking for good reasons. Shin finally understands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shin’s mother appears, explaining work no longer needs her. She admits she has trouble expressing herself, but Shin overhears and hugs her. They both confess they thought the other did not love them. Maria shares that she was often lonely as a child but still loved her parents, and she tells Shin’s mother she does not need to be perfect. Shin shows his mother the souvenir and the last piece of takoyaki he saved for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As darkness falls, Maria walks home alone. She reflects on whether she could ever be a good mother, remembering Kyubey’s revelation that her Soul Gem is her actual soul and her body is merely a vessel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mel&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mel stays home after her reading warns of lethal danger, but Kanagi dismisses her concerns and drags her to school anyway. On the way, a Witch targets only Mel before escaping, and a possessed car then attempts to run her down. She flees west into the Mizuno region, where Yachiyo saves her. Despite Kanagi&#039;s warnings about discrimination from the West, Yachiyo&#039;s kindness puts her at ease, and Mel accepts her invitation to stay. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she requests to join Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kanagi gives permission. From that day, Mel bonds with Mifuyu, Tsuruno, and Momoko as part of her new team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One other day, Mel arrives excitedly with entirely positive readings and offers to read the team&#039;s fortunes. Despite Yachiyo&#039;s skepticism, Mel coaxes her into a session predicting a career breakthrough.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Yachiyo announces with disbelief that she was chosen for a nationwide magazine feature on Kamihama&#039;s cafes. Mifuyu and Momoko then receive positive readings about a matchmaking and exam results.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes. Afterward they visit Mitama, who suggests they train in Endless Mirrors if they plan to remain independent rather than join Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Temari and Mikura commute to school exhausted. Temari stayed up testing a new metal pen, and Mikura correctly guesses she is in modern literature mode.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Temari is distracted thinking about Witch strategies while Mikura worries about Seira, who had fallen asleep in class from exhaustion. Seira joins them, and Temari suggests they create their own space to escape the stress of magical girl life. Seira proposes forming a school club where they can pursue their hobbies freely, and they agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Seira secures an empty classroom as a provisional club room under the name Historical Research Club. On paper they study history, but in reality it becomes their oasis for reading, watching films, and relaxing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Ikumi explains how in middle school she dreamed of becoming an idol despite lacking talent, while her friend Yumi dreamed of volleyball. They realized they could fulfill each other&#039;s dreams instead.

Kyubey repeatedly offered her a contract, but she refused because wishing for her dream would mean she never achieved it through hard work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In high school, Ikumi worked at a school-organized maid cafe that gave struggling students performance opportunities.

** Her wish came true when the landowner, moved by the final performance, sold the cafe to the school who remodeled and reopened it. Later, while fighting a witch, Ikumi was saved by another magical girl who turned out to be Yumi. Yumi revealed she had wished for someone to recognize Ikumi&#039;s talents and give her an idol chance.

* On the weekend, the two meet up with Riko Chiaki and Ashley Taylor, who are making a horror video about the same rumor. The group searches the mountains at night. Kush can see in the dark and leads them, but she is still sleepy. They find a discarded camera containing a video of Rui Mizuki dropping it and disappearing. When a mysterious sound frightens the others, they accidentally leave Kush behind. Left alone, Kush eats cherry tomatoes and senses a witch. The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one. They also learn that Rui is Kush’s friend; she had filmed Kush entering the barrier before being caught by it. The group later glimpses a white‑haired silhouette and flees, thinking a real vampire might exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley posts a video warning others to stay away from the mountains. At Mitama’s shop, Ui hears about the incident and learns the vampire was just a misunderstanding. Meanwhile, Chika Aoba, whose animal traps and axe cuts the group had found, decides to move her work farther from the trails so she does not frighten anyone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Homura Akemi in Magia Record#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is flooded with more memories of her other self preparing for Walpurgisnacht with allies. She wonders if there might be a real possibility for salvation in this timeline, where no one has to be sacrificed. However, she believes it has nothing to do with her. She breaks out of the labyrinth and the dream ends. Kyubey asks if she was curious about what happened to her other self. Homura says it does not matter; she believes in Madoka&#039;s words that her efforts will not be in vain. A new universe is about to be born, and Homura must protect it for Madoka&#039;s sake. Kyubey states they will both forget Madoka, but Homura is determined to never forget her.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new universe where Witches do not exist, Kyoko is surprised to find Sayaka has disappeared. Mami explains the Law of Cycles causes Magical Girls to disappear when they lose hope. Homura cries as she remembers Madoka, but neither Mami nor Kyoko know who Madoka is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka spend the day together in Kamihama, enjoying each other’s company until they encounter Ria Ami, a model and magical girl who has already defeated the witch they were tracking. Ria invites them to tea and later takes them to the fashion district, where she notices that Homura’s attention never leaves Madoka. Admitting her jealousy, Ria says she wishes someone would look at her the same way, and Homura replies that she will protect Madoka. After Ria departs, Homura thinks that even if Madoka does not realize how cool she is, she will still save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Homura steals weapons from a group called the Soukaihou using her time stop, but she is caught afterward by Meiyui Chun, a magical girl affiliated with the group. Instead of punishing her, Meiyui thanks her for taking weapons that belonged to troublemakers and invites Homura to share mapo tofu. Over the meal, Meiyui learns Homura fights to protect someone precious to her and says she understands, offering her support and suggesting the spicy dish whenever the burden becomes too painful to bear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Homura is practicing her shooting alone when Natsuki Utsuho, a magical girl who cheers for others, offers to encourage her. Natsuki deduces Homura’s time stop ability and gives advice that significantly improves her aim. When Natsuki suggests Homura ask Mami to coach her, Homura calls, and Mami arrives within an hour. Mami uses her ribbons to move within Homura’s time stop during a sparring match, praising her rapid progress afterward. Homura agrees to return to Mitakihara with Mami, reflecting that she will keep moving forward to become a magical girl capable of protecting Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Sayaka arrives in Kamihama City to go shopping with Kyosuke Kamijou, though she insists it is not a date. When she hears a scream, she runs toward it and discovers Hinano Miyako at an empty elementary school. Hinano explains she was bumped on the head while setting up the chemistry lab, and Sayaka decides to help investigate. They find the culprit was a baseball that flew through the window from the baseball club practicing outside. Hinano returns the ball to a child and gives Sayaka a perfume she made, wishing her good luck on her date despite Sayaka&#039;s protests.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later in the shopping district, Emiri Kisaki approaches Sayaka, drawn by the perfume. After realizing Sayaka is not Hinano, Emiri offers to coordinate her wardrobe, claiming to be the &amp;quot;Cutest in the World.&amp;quot; Sayaka learns Emiri is also a magical girl but remains unsatisfied with the outfit suggestions, explaining the person she likes does not care about appearances. Emiri takes her to the top of a tower, where they view the city at night. Sayaka thanks her before heading to the train station, reflecting that her love is supported by the magical girls of Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the outing with Kyosuke arrives. After buying a CD, Kyosuke messages that his train is delayed. Sayaka fights a Witch she senses and meets Kokoro Awane, defeating it together. With time to spare, Kokoro invites her for tea. Sayaka shares that she became a magical girl to heal someone she loves, and Kokoro reveals she wished to bring her family together. Though problems remain, Kokoro believes she can unite them through her own power, and Sayaka finds strength in her words. When Kyosuke is about to arrive, Kokoro encourages her, and Sayaka runs to the station, feeling it will be a good day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day in Kamihama, Mami saves Kanoko Yayoi from familiars, and Kanoko explains her dream is to become a fashion designer.

They spend the day shopping and at an arcade, and Mami admits she has not enjoyed herself like this in a while. Rika reminds Mami of Kyoko Sakura, and Mami reflects on her friendships in Mitakihara.

* On another day, after Mami fights off familiars, Nanaka Tokiwa confronts her, having heard rumors about the strongest Magical Girl from Mitakihara. Nanaka wants to team up or fight her, and Akira Shinobu arrives, also eager to challenge Mami based on exaggerated rumors. Mami agrees to fight them on one condition: they have tea with her first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Ultimate&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart. She also finds Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, who were never supposed to become magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Panicking because she cannot prevent magical girls from becoming witches in this universe, Madoka investigates. She discovers the source blocking her intervention originated when the Holy Quintet first visited Kamihama, and she observes how Touka and Nemu—fated to die in every other universe—are alive and plotting with the Magius to lure Walpurgis Night to hatch Eve. Madoka reflects that their plan, if successful, would achieve what she herself accomplished. Unsure whether to intervene, she decides to investigate further and chooses Iroha as her next focal point, since this is the only universe where Iroha contracted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka observes Iroha’s past and finds the singular difference: on a normal day, Iroha took her usual shortcut but accidentally kicked a small pebble, nearly making her late. This tiny butterfly effect led to Iroha contracting and Ui, Nemu, and Touka surviving, derailing the universe’s fate. Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka decides not to interfere, fearing a clash that could destroy the universe. However, she laments that she may have no choice but to trample Iroha’s wish if this universe, now a singularity, threatens the stability of all other universes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She uses Yuma Chitose as a distraction to keep Kyubey away from Madoka, then later convinces Yuma to contract by claiming Kyoko is in danger. Oriko also recruits Kirika Kure as her pawn. When Kirika kills another magical girl, Oriko decides to use the murders to further distract Kyubey from Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Oriko Mikuni in Magia Record#Side Story|Oriko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Oriko has another vision revealing that Madoka is not in Mitakihara but somewhere else entirely. She witnesses a spatial distortion connecting Mitakihara to Kamihama City and begins to suspect Kamihama might hold the key to changing the future. Oriko sends Kirika to Kamihama under the pretense of buying tea, instructing her to gather information from Mami and other magical girls there. She then takes Yuma to Kamihama herself, leaving her inside a witch barrier knowing Kyoko will come to rescue her. While exploring Kamihama for answers, Oriko nearly dies inside a powerful witch barrier and realizes she needs Kirika&#039;s help to continue. Kirika eventually returns home safely, reporting that Mami and Kyoko are also investigating Kamihama and that the city has an unusually high number of witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kyoko accidentally destroys her shopping bag, enraging Kirika. Shizuku Hozumi intervenes, allowing Mami and Kyoko to escape through a portal.

They try filming again with a script, but the takes go poorly—Yachiyo overthinks her cooking scene, Felicia struggles to tutor Ui, and Tsuruno is late. Ui suggests they abandon the script and just be themselves. They record a video of their daily life together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the video, Iroha and Ui perform a shrine maiden&#039;s dance they learned from helping at a shrine over New Year&#039;s. They tell their parents not to worry and wish them luck with work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s parents watch the video overseas. They are moved by seeing their daughters having so much fun. The father decides they will return to Japan this year to see their daughters in person. Iroha hopes her mother can see their shrine maiden dance next year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* After Mitakihara City’s school closing ceremony, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura walk out together. Sayaka is glad the term is over, Madoka is excited, and Homura admits she will feel lonely without seeing them every day. Sayaka ruffles her hair and says they can still meet over break, whether hunting witches or hanging out. Madoka suggests visiting Mizuna Shrine in Kamihama for New Year’s to draw “Ultimate Fortunes.” Sayaka has other plans but encourages them to go together. After she leaves, Madoka asks Homura if she knows how to put on formal wear. Homura does not, so Madoka invites her to a kimono‑dressing class she found, saying she wanted the two of them to dress up with Sayaka but lacked the courage to go alone. Homura agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class, the instructor dresses them first; Madoka thinks Homura looks beautiful, and Homura calls Madoka cute. When the actual lesson begins, Madoka struggles badly and trips, while Homura learns quickly enough that the instructor says she will have no trouble. Madoka takes a break outside, feeling useless. Sayaka happens by and asks why she wanted to dress up in the first place - to have fun. Sayaka tells her not to overthink; even if she makes mistakes, she will still have the memories. Encouraged, Madoka returns and finally manages to dress herself after another trip.&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year’s Day, both have their formal wear put on at a store. They joke that the class was interesting but not very useful for the real occasion. They take lots of pictures to show Sayaka, then wish each other a happy new year and go to Mizuna Shrine to draw fortunes. Madoka hopes everyone has a lucky year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka find themselves trapped in a strange dream—a life-sized board game set across Kamihama City. They must reach the goal by following the game&#039;s rules. There are no Familiars or attempts to harm them, so Homura suspects it is accidental mischief rather than a trap. They roll dice to move between squares and complete missions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Kimono)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;First Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They arrive at a shopping center. The mission is to deliver lost items from the New Year&#039;s sale to the Information Desk. They meet Aimi, who found a plain notebook with no name. Aimi worries it is someone&#039;s secret fantasy diary and does not want to read it. They take it to the Information Desk and complete the mission. Aimi mentions she is shopping for materials to knit a scarf or gloves for a boy named Hayato.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** They roll again and move to a new square. The mission is to reunite two sisters who failed to meet. They find Tsukasa waiting for her twin Tsukuyo. Tsukuyo forgot her phone and cannot remember the meeting spot. Madoka and Homura offer to find Tsukuyo. They find her, but Tsukasa has wandered off while waiting. The sisters fail to meet, and Homura and Madoka lose three turns. They eventually reach the Mizuna Shrine goal, but the game says they have not met the goal conditions and sends them back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Second Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They are back at the beginning, wearing their kimonos. They see their past selves from the first loop. The same mission appears—reunite the twins. They meet Tsukasa again, who remembers them from before and is confused by their kimono change. Madoka tells Tsukasa where Tsukuyo is, but Tsukasa runs off before Madoka can explain she should wait. They try to find Tsukasa but fail. The mission fails again, and they are sent back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Third Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes: buy a lucky bag costing one million Magica. They search for a store and take a break at a cafe. They see Ria being interviewed and overhear a boy named Hayato saying he needs a warmer scarf. They find Kokoro and Masara, who lead them to a stationery lucky bag. Kokoro mentions Tsukasa is still looking for Tsukuyo. Madoka wants to help Tsukasa, and Homura agrees. They find Tsukuyo, who has been wandering and dropped something important. They learn Tsukuyo dropped her exchange diary with Tsukasa—the same notebook Aimi found. The mission completes, but they are sent back to the start again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes again: help a child who lost something. They find Tsukuyo waiting. She dropped the exchange diary. Homura and Madoka take her to the Information Desk to reclaim it. Madoka remembers Tsukasa was last seen near a specific area. They wait there and finally reunite the twins. They also tell Aimi that Hayato wants a warm scarf. Everyone ends up happy. Homura and Madoka reach the goal without regrets. Homura reflects that she does not want the dream to last longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka learns the meaning of &amp;quot;When winter comes, spring isn&#039;t far behind&amp;quot; at the end of December. Just before New Year&#039;s Eve, Madoka asks if anyone has plans for the holiday. Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko and Nagisa meet the teacher and children at the park. The kids immediately recognize Kyoko, so the pair double down on the movie lie. The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the performance, Kyoko and Sayaka use quick‑change costumes while Nagisa sneaks discarded clothes off set. The children are awed by the glowing weapons and effects, explained with lighting tricks and soap bubbles. After the class leaves, the group reviews the footage and decides to keep a copy. Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko returns the props to Sayuki, then visits an aquarium to pass time. As she leaves, she spots the same kindergarteners, detects a witch, and rushes to fight it. She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She is hunting for discounted Valentine&#039;s chocolate. She visits Sugar Plum but finds the chocolate coins sold out. She runs into Kyoko. They keep encountering each other at multiple stores and realize they are both after the same Valentine&#039;s Day exclusive Pink Tapir chocolate coins. They form an alliance to share information and split the chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe (Valentine)#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Valentine Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Pink Tapir station store, a clerk informs them the sale has moved to a new outlet location and gives them a map. On the way, a delivery truck carrying the chocolate coins is possessed by a Witch&#039;s Kiss and goes on a rampage. Nagisa and Kyoko chase it, jump onto the truck, and enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Nagisa uses her forbidden technique to defeat the Witch. The truck and other vehicles are unharmed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the outlet store and buy the chocolate coins. Nagisa reflects on her memory of eating Pink Tapir chocolate coins for the first time at a hospital charity event when her mother was sick. She wonders if this universe&#039;s Nagisa would have had the same experience. She and Kyoko hurry to Mami&#039;s chocolate party. Kyoko reveals she bought a chocolate cake from Sugar Plum for everyone. Nagisa shares her pink chocolate coins. Mami is happy they are getting along. The next day, the chocolate hunt continues. At the outlet store, Ms. Saotome buys chocolate coins for a hospital charity event, continuing the tradition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Ria, Mayu, and Manaka give the sisters their rented beach space, and the sisters end up spending the day with Team Yachiyo in a water pistol shooting match. They have more fun than they expected, but Tsukuyo suffers a heat stroke and is cared for by the group after Tsukasa panics. When Tsukasa tries to repay the favor, Yachiyo jokes that she should quit the Wings of Magius, then smiles when Tsukasa refuses as expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Their final opponents are Miyako, Kokoro, Masara, and Ren, with Ren proving surprisingly athletic. Miyako’s team wins after Yachiyo avoids stepping on a rare hermit crab, but everyone agrees Tsukasa has repaid her debt, and the sisters admit they had a wonderful time. They end the day drinking juice Yachiyo bought for them and buying matching crescent moon accessories in different colors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

They plan to tell the story of Mitama’s deserted island ordeal while Momoko adds her side of worrying. While playing, they fight a Witch together—the first time Mitama has teamed up with someone—then run straight into Rena, Kaede, and Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They win by performing the events of the day instead of their planned story. Rena claims the stuffed bunny, and Mikage gets the Candy World tickets, immediately inviting Mitama. Apologies are exchanged, and the others ask for no more secrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, while Mitama and Momoko clean up, Rena and Kaede take Mikage to get drinks. A girl from Mitama’s past confronts her: the one Mitama accidentally shoved down the stairs years ago. A crowd gathers, muttering rumors, but Momoko defends Mitama and the crowd disperses. The girl realizes it was an accident and offers to help clear Mitama’s name, but Mitama declines, saying she no longer needs it because she has someone who believes in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka arrives at a resort with her friends, carrying her mother’s challenge to do something she can only do now. After rescuing an old woman’s hat from the sea, she learns the hat was a gift from the woman’s daughter, Himari.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group spends the day swimming, building a sandcastle, and splitting into smaller activities. While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The girls complete the rally together, with the final photo taken at a sunflower field. That evening, a storm cancels the flower tour, but the photographer invites them to meet the next morning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the photographer leads them to a hidden pond where barringtonia blossoms float. She reveals this was the special place she and Himari had planned to visit. Madoka recognizes Himari’s name and, with her friends’ help, finds the old woman from the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The old woman and the photographer meet; the photographer confesses her guilt over their childhood fight, but the woman explains Himari never mentioned any quarrel—her illness suddenly worsened that day. The two women reconcile, and both thank Madoka for bringing them together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond. Madoka reflects that the thing she could only do here was to reunite the two women and give them peace. Her friends call her for one last swim, and she runs off to join them, already thinking of returning to the island someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story and Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
It has two versions I made, assimilate them if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomuradsSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At registration, Mitama announces all participants must wear swimwear, offering to transform their outfits for free. Homura is surprisingly excited, and Sayaka gets roped into wearing a ridiculous mushroom‑mermaid costume designed by Kanoko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many familiar magical girls attend as participants or catering staff. Hazuki reveals her hatred of worms, Konoha faints from watching bait wriggle, and various mishaps begin piling up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka in her costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The non‑waterproof suit causes Sayaka to be electrocuted by its built‑in fan, but her Doppel activates and saves her. The Doppel drags Yachiyo into the water, and Yachiyo begins water‑skiing using her fishing rod while being pulled around.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura manages to fish up the Doppel and wins the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other&#039;s backs. Homura happily agrees, ending the day on a warm note.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Homura confronts her Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying summer and relying on Madoka’s kindness. The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurads&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura visit a seaside villa on the outskirts of Kamihama. They meet Felicia and her friends briefly. After parting ways, they decide to visit an aquarium. They participate in an accessory-making workshop using star sand. Inside the aquarium, they meet Ashley, an exchange student from the United States, and Riko. Ashley recognizes them as Magical Girls from Mitakihara because she encountered their copies in Endless Mirrors. They chat and learn Ashley is making videos about kawaii things in Japan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Waverider)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After parting ways with Ashley and Riko, Sayaka wants to visit a CD store. She hopes to find rare CDs for Kyosuke. At the store, she reaches for the same CD as a woman. They discover they both use notepads to track CDs. The woman is Takamine&#039;s wife—Takamine was a violinist who passed away. She collects his recordings to show her daughter. They exchange contact information. Sayaka mentions the upcoming flea market.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They eat lunch and shaved ice. Ashley records their conversation. Madoka and Homura leave early for Witch patrol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka&#039;s group meets Takamine&#039;s wife and daughter. A strong wind blows the daughter&#039;s hat into the ocean. Sayaka and Kyoko transform into swimsuits and ride a surfboard to retrieve it, using Nagisa&#039;s floaty as a distraction. The hat is recovered. Takamine&#039;s wife realizes she lost her notepad. Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while waiting, Nagisa and Riko play with water guns. Sayaka&#039;s group relaxes on the beach. Madoka and Homura find Sayaka&#039;s copy in Mirrors. The copy lures them into a trap, but they manage to get the CD list from her and escape. They send it to Sayaka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring. They plan for future fights: Sayaka will handle Familiars, Madoka and Homura will immobilize the Witch, and Mami will finish it off. Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The group swims, then Kyoko dominates the buffet. They discover a cliff diving spot, where Sayaka, Mami, and Kyoko take turns jumping while Madoka and Homura watch. They agree to return the day after next, since Madoka is busy the following day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ui improves, but a rip current nearly sweeps her away; Kyoko rescues her. Moved by Ui’s determination, Kyoko keeps training her until sunset, and Ui finally masters swimming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully. Later, Kyoko visits Mitama to revert her outfit, explaining she wants to learn swimming properly rather than relying on magic. She trades a Grief Seed for money to buy ramune as payment for a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Eternal Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;

===Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Momoko Togame (Sanctified)#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi meet again. Mitama shares her realization: her grief has ended. She now wants to make amends and carve a new future for Kamihama. They discuss ideas for the student conference. Kanagi suggests a sports festival. Mitama suggests a festival with food stalls. They joke about romance and love interests. Mitama feels lighter and ready to move forward. She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at the Wings of Magius, Alina asks Nemu to create a rumor for her. She will let it grow, then take it into herself and use it to achieve her greatest goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Touka and Nemu separately sneak to Ui’s room to leave apology notes. They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They first visit Mitama’s shop, where they meet Maria and Konomi. Mikage hands out sweets, crediting Lavi’s teaching, and Mitama permits them to visit the Mikazuki girls after receiving a cake. At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the real world, Tsuruno gives gelato to Ui and Felicia. Ui is absorbed in playing a game called &amp;quot;Little Vacation&amp;quot; on Tsuruno&#039;s phone. The game follows Tsuruno and Felicia as Reindeer Santas traveling to reach the End of the World and the Wishing Star.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia (Special Delivery)#Side Story|Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno uses the Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a hint: &amp;quot;The key is something you don&#039;t know the importance of until it&#039;s gone. This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They leave, having failed to deliver smiles for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Town of Miraculous ☆ Prestidigitations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the next town. They meet Mitama, a magician performing tricks, and twins Rion and Hotori. Mitama attempts to teleport Hotori but accidentally duplicates her. There are now two Hotoris. Tsuruno and Felicia try to help. The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win. The duplicates are left behind. The single Tsuruno who lost is left alone without Reindeer-san #2 or the Okamochi Box. She decides to continue traveling anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They realize &amp;quot;three heads are better than one&amp;quot; refers to them working together to solve the Maze Town puzzle.

*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game.

===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents. Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia return home and ask to hear the full story, so Yachiyo retrieves the scarf from the time capsule where she had hidden it years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Check on the days again to make sure how many days pass. It&#039;s possible it&#039;s all just one day&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami finds herself in a strange white fog, speaking with two other versions of herself. Holy Mami claims she has learned the truth about magical girls from Alina Gray and Touka Satomi and has found a way to save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami has tea with Touka and Alina at a house rented for her by Touka. Mami explains she has not returned to Mitakihara because her priority is releasing magical girls. Touka and Alina offer to lecture her on what she needs to study. Alina grows disturbingly excited discussing van Gogh&#039;s Sunflowers, and Touka lectures at length on mathematics until Alina interrupts. Mami reassures them she will ask for help when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina receives a call from the Amane sisters requesting help with a Witch. Touka asks Mami to assist, explaining she has a lecture to give at noon to recruit skilled magical girls. Mami agrees, reflecting that releasing magical girls requires Grief Seeds, protecting Rumors, and raising Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane waiting for her. They explain the Witch has moved and the Black Feathers are monitoring it. A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren plan for their friends’ Christmas party a week away and promise to spend Christmas Eve together. While looking at options in a magazine, they cannot decide on a place. Ren buys the magazine to think it over, privately hoping to choose somewhere that will make Rika happy, though she doubts whether she truly belongs beside her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ren visits Emiri’s consultation room but finds only Akira and Ria Ami. She explains her dilemma, and Ria takes her around town to evaluate possible locations. They rule out a restaurant, an amusement park, and a romantic cafe, eventually settling on the Minagi Aquarium. Ria is surprised to learn Ren is planning an outing with Rika, not a boyfriend, but Ren leaves feeling confident in her choice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Christmas Eve, Rika attends a party with her school friends. When she mentions she will spend Christmas Eve at the aquarium with a friend, her friends press to join, but Rika refuses. She advises them not to look for boyfriends just to avoid being alone. Later, while walking with her friends, Rika spots Ren chasing after Aimi Eri. She follows and finds Ren comforting Aimi over a misunderstanding involving a boy; the situation resolves without trouble.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Ren waits for Rika, who messages that she overslept with a fever. Ren worries Rika became sick chasing after her the day before. Before she can reply, Aimi finds her, and they go shopping together. Aimi encourages Ren to visit Rika instead of staying apart. Ren goes to Rika’s house, knocks on her window, and insists they spend Christmas together there so Rika can rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They exchange gifts: Ren gives Rika scented candles, having noticed Rika’s interest from a sticky note, and Rika gives Ren a glass candlestick. Rika hopes they can visit the aquarium another time, and Ren leaves happy to have shared Christmas with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, assimilate them if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumor Tsuruno begins designing the park, adding a merry-go-round, roller coaster, spa, shops, and a cafe. The mascots warn that once the park is complete, she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world. Rumor Tsuruno claims no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she imagines comfort foods with hot pot as the main star, she is reminded of Mikazuki Villa. She brushes it off and completes the park. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Uwasa Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana looks at a Mr. Purrs-a-lot picture book and feels down. Ui notices and asks what is wrong. Sana admits she wants to become a picture book author to help people who are suffering like she once was. She has many ideas but does not know how to write them. Ui encourages her. Sana says she is starting from zero and needs to practice writing. Ui suggests she settle on one main idea. Sana recalls a story about the Rice God from Yachiyo and decides to write a practice story about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana writes a story about the Rice God punishing Felicia for not finishing her rice. Ui enjoys it. Sana realizes she also needs to entertain readers while conveying her message. She decides her first picture book theme will be &amp;quot;friends.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana and Ui discuss the main character. Sana models her after Ai, the Uwasa of the Anonymous A.I. She names the heroine Aoi. Sana writes the first part of the story: Aoi leaves the &amp;quot;Land of Beginnings&amp;quot; and arrives at the &amp;quot;Land of Blessings,&amp;quot; where residents constantly fight. Aoi suggests a picnic to help them understand each other. The residents grow closer. Ui enjoys the story. Sana reveals she wants to leave behind proof of Ai&#039;s existence before she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana asks Nemu for permission to use a character modelled after Ai in her picture book. Nemu agrees, saying she is happy Sana wishes to preserve Ai. Nemu advises Sana on how to become a published author: enter contests or approach publishers directly. Sana becomes discouraged when she realizes she would have to interact with people who cannot see her. She leaves feeling hopeless.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana wanders alone, feeling invisible. She helps a girl find a lost ring but is not noticed. She thinks her dream is impossible. Tsuruno, Felicia, and Ui find her, worried because she was not answering calls. Iroha and Yachiyo also arrive. Nemu calls and suggests Sana could use an agent to communicate with publishers, avoiding direct meetings. Sana regains her resolve. Yachiyo tells her not to give up on her dream. Iroha and the others promise to support her. Sana realizes she has a family to help her get back up.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana finishes her first picture book, &amp;quot;A Small Encounter.&amp;quot; The story follows Shana, an invisible girl who is found by Aoi and makes her first friend. Sana decides to show it to everyone and get their thoughts. She promises to keep persevering for Ai&#039;s sake and for everyone who supports her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 1 (Flashback/Reflection)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi wakes from a nap and remembers the dream she had when fused with the Kimochi. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words that helped her realize she had not truly given up. Iroha told her that those who have given up do not fight, and that Lavi came to Kamihama because she still wanted to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro (Kimochi)#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects on the hope she once held—a daydream of a peaceful life where magical girls are understood. In that dream, she helped her mother, tended fields with her grandfather, watched Urara&#039;s street performances, and attended exhibitions with Shirogane. She encountered other magical girls: Asahi, Haitani, Kuroda, Urara, and Alexandra. They fought witches together and enjoyed everyday moments. Lavi realized she had locked away this hope because remembering it was painful. But now, through her connection with Iroha and her time with Nayuta, she has begun to see the future again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 2 (Daydream/Desired Future)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi dreams of a happy future where the Automatic Purification System has spread and peace has come. She, Nayuta, and Mikage go on a trip to Yukuni. They encounter many acquaintances: Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and Mikazuki Villa. Due to a scheduling mistake, everyone arrives at the same inn on the same day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** There is not enough premium beef for dinner. The groups compete in hot spring table tennis, karaoke, and pillow fights to decide who gets the meat. Yuna cheats in table tennis and is disqualified.

&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane complain about being overworked as guardians of a Rumor and fear the anger of Touka, Alina, and Nemu. They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - A Taste of Hospitality|A Taste of Hospitality]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko and Ashley help Mitama film a video about her Coordinator services, whre she explains that she adjusts Soul Gems to draw out hidden potential, that she sees memories during adjustments but keeps them confidential, and that she also sells items for Magical Girls. As payment for the video, Riko gives Mitama an origami dog (Mameji) and Ashley gives her blue candy from her home, both of which Mitama puts in a box.&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, Mitama receives many gifts from Magical Girls, including Kokoro, Reira, Mito, Felicia, Ayame, Kako, Yachiyo, Karin, Himika, Rika and Emiri, the last of whom says that when people share their favorite things, it means they want to share what they love with Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama hums happily, which Momoko and Kanagi notice and feel a bad omen. Mitama announces that she wants to share what she loves with everyone and that she plans a party with food that she will cook. She asks Momoko and Kanagi to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin|Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One winter’s day before Christmas, Rika and Ren go shopping together. The town has no Christmas decorations and people seem depressed. They hear a distressed voice and find Mitama, wearing a Santa&#039;s beard and hat, and she introduces herself as a Christmas Spirit. Mitama says her job is to make everyone happy, but the task is too big. She gives Rika and Ren some of her magic, explaining that the magic requires them to be perfectly attuned to each other, and then she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, a swallow Familiar appears, claiming to be Mitama’s pupil and Rika names him Chirpie. Chirpie explains that Mitama saved him when he fell from his nest and gave him magic. He can sense cowardly hearts lacking courage and Rika and Ren must drive out ten cowardly hearts to make the town happy. Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chirpie leads them to Felicia and Sana, who had accidentally smashed a cake and are now arguing about who should apologize to Yachiyo. Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 13th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mitama is away from her shop, but Tsuruno is there, using the kitchen to make chocolate bonbons with a friend. She plans to surprise everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 14th:&#039;&#039;&#039; On Valentine&#039;s Day, Tsuruno gives beautifully wrapped chocolates to Iroha, Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana and Ui at Mikazuki Villa. Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rise of the Waning Moon===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Rise of the Waning Moon|Rise of the Waning Moon]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day during lunch break, Kanagi goes to Himika’s classroom, telling her she just wanted to see her face, which Himika finds strange.&lt;br /&gt;
** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

* Hinano and Emiri attend a chemistry event. Hinano is excited to see a chemist who reminds her of the woman she idolized as a child—a tall, long-legged lady who taught fun chemistry experiments. Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;

The relative needs help cleaning the hotel pool because the usual staff are sick. Yachiyo hesitates due to her modeling schedule. The girls offer to help. Yachiyo calls back and confirms they will come.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group arrives at the hotel and Yachiyo&#039;s relative, an older woman, greets them warmly. She says she used to hang out with Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river. Tsuruno and Felicia compete to see who can clean faster, inventing names for their techniques. Yachiyo scolds them for being inefficient. They eventually work together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha slips and falls but is not hurt. Felicia sprays Yachiyo with the hose and Yachiyo chases her. After a few hours, they finish cleaning. The relative rewards them with fluffy shaved ice.&lt;br /&gt;
** The pool is now clean and filled with water. The girls swim and play. Tsuruno and Felicia bring water guns and spray Yachiyo. Yachiyo chases them and gets out of the pool to walk upstream, eventually catching them. They all have fun.&lt;br /&gt;

Tsuruno volunteers the group to help until the staff arrives. Yachiyo worries they might cause trouble, but Iroha, Ui, and Sana want to try. They agree to help. Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the next day, the group arrives at the pool for opening day. Yachiyo handles reception. The ticket scanner malfunctions and a line forms. Mitama appears—she had plans with Iroha that were canceled. She offers to help and fixes the scanner by hitting it. The staff member returns and takes over.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama notices Yachiyo has something on her mind and suggests she talk to someone she trusts. Iroha later asks Yachiyo to help with a crowded lunch area. Ui is taking orders with Sana&#039;s invisible help making drinks.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral. Yachiyo admits she was worried about everyone but sees they are doing fine. Iroha tells Yachiyo it is okay to worry because she cares, and they can solve problems together. Iroha notices Yachiyo has been down and offers to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
** A foam machine malfunctions, spewing foam everywhere. A guest slips and falls. The group splits up to clean the foam and help guests. Mitama fixes the machine with a whack. The support staff arrives. The girls finally have time to enjoy the pool.&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models. She does not know what to post and is shy about taking selfies. Iroha suggests posting photos of herself and takes pictures of Yachiyo on a float with the sunset. Yachiyo is embarrassed but agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Tsuruno want a turn on the float. Everyone climbs on, and Mitama takes a group photo just as they all fall into the water. Iroha loves the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the pool photos are popular online. Yachiyo&#039;s manager says going to the pool was a good move. Yachiyo thanks Iroha and says she might take her up on being her photographer again. She sends the group photo to everyone. Iroha says the photo may not be &amp;quot;social media-worthy&amp;quot; but it captures who they are. They agree to go back to the pool again—summer is just getting started.&lt;br /&gt;

They became close and talked openly with each other for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo too formal and uptight, while Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukuyo was devastated.

She shares the full ending of the story they studied—the couple takes their own lives because they fear their love will fade. Tsukasa suggests they do the same. Tsukuyo is horrified but realizes they have no other way out.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night they decide to die, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa meet at the shrine. They decide to destroy their Soul Gems together. They hold hands and count to three. Mifuyu arrives in time to stop them.

&lt;br /&gt;
* Kako is 13 years old. Her parents run Natsume Books, a used bookstore. Books are a huge part of her life. One day, she sees Nanaka loitering by the mailbox, looking distressed. Nanaka drops a letter in the mailbox and runs off. She tells Kako to read the letter. Kako remembers the words &amp;quot;Kill her&amp;quot; and wonders why.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako recalls her past. Her family was not wealthy, but they were happy. Her father recommended books, and her mother helped her study. Then tragedy struck. A riot over land grabs broke out. Harassment of those who objected got worse. Discord grew within the community and even within their home. Her father was wound tight. Then their house was set on fire. Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
** She met a girl named &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; N told Kako who was responsible and what she needed to do to destroy them. Kako clung to her. She later learned N was manipulative and saw others as pawns. Kako hates N and wants revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found herself in a Labyrinth. Nanaka fought off Familiars but was overwhelmed. Kyubey offered Kako the chance to become a Magical Girl. Nanaka told Kako through telepathy to decide for herself what she wanted. Kako realized she hated feeling helpless. She wished to see her family smiling again and to get Natsume Books back. She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kako learned Nanaka faked her struggle to entrap her into making the wish. Nanaka had pulled this trick on others to use them as pawns. Kako could not forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako and Nanaka fought Witches together. Nanaka encouraged Kako and told her she was better suited to being a Magical Girl than Nanaka was. Kako wanted to get stronger. Nanaka wrote a letter confessing her deception and asking Kako to kill her. Kako made up her mind to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka. She returned it unopened, saying it seemed wrong to read something Nanaka only sent by accident. Nanaka smiled and said Kako was dazzling. She said she would try to tell Kako her feelings in person someday.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako thinks Nanaka overestimates her, but she is no longer as scared and helpless as she used to be. She is a Magical Girl who protects the city by Nanaka&#039;s side.&lt;br /&gt;

** Ayame and Kako meet in secret. They are friends but cannot openly hang out because their teams do not get along. Ayame complains about the situation. Kako shows her a book about ocean adventures. Ayame becomes curious about whether the ocean boils when the sun sets. They decide to go to the beach together to find out.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame and Kako take a train and a bus toward the beach. Ayame is excited. Konoha calls and texts repeatedly, but Ayame ignores her. They get off the bus when it breaks down and take a detour. They discover a field of sunflowers. They share cup noodles together. Ayame turns off her phone. Kako also ignores Nanaka&#039;s messages to focus on their adventure. They finally reach the beach and watch the sunset together. Ayame still cannot tell if the ocean boils, but she is happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback - Azalea House) Ayame dreams of the Director. She remembers the day Azalea House was going to be torn down. The Director had already passed away. Konoha, Hazuki, and Ayame met Kyubey and decided to become Magical Girls. Ayame wished for Azalea House to stay open forever. Konoha wished to eliminate all threats to it. They decided on a third wish: to have everyone at Azalea House forget they were ever there. They left the orphanage and started living together. Ayame remembers Konoha&#039;s promise that they would always be together. She reflects on her conflict with Konoha over her friendship with Kako. She wishes the Director could tell her what to do.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame wakes up at Kako&#039;s relatives&#039; house. Konoha has arrived. She found Ayame by asking Nanaka to track Kako&#039;s location. Ayame refuses to go home, saying Konoha has been stifling her. She promises to tell Konoha where she is next time. Konoha apologizes. She did not realize how her words were making Ayame feel. She promises to talk things through with Hazuki and Ayame. Kako is relieved. Ayame treasures the memory of her adventure. She promises never to forget it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Masara Kagami&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Flame Kindled in the Vastness===&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara Kagami reflects on her life. After becoming a Magical Girl, not much felt dramatically different. But encounters and experiences since have changed her. She thinks her dull and pointless life has just gotten a little more colorful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara finds the world boring. She is good at swimming but lacks passion. Kyubey appears and offers her any wish. She wishes for a load of money and becomes a Magical Girl. She fights Witches, and the excitement fades quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara meets Kokoro Awane in a Labyrinth. Kokoro is uncomfortable with Masara&#039;s reckless fighting and tells her to protect herself more. Masara says she does not care if she dies. Kokoro says her family would care. Masara questions why Kokoro blames herself for her family&#039;s problems. Kokoro asks if they can stick together. Masara agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a Witch hunt, they&#039;re attacked by a Witch and Masara takes a hit to protect Kokoro. She gets a scar. She starts avoiding Kokoro because she does not understand her feelings. Mitama explains that Masara fears seeing Kokoro get hurt, so she avoids her to prevent that pain. Masara realizes she fears losing Kokoro, so they reconcile.&lt;br /&gt;
* The swim club announces the relay team. Masara is chosen but declines, saying she is not good at team sports. Koshino, who has always been second to Masara, is chosen as her replacement. Koshino vows to beat Masara&#039;s record.&lt;br /&gt;
* While Kokoro and Masara go on patrol, they see Koshino training alone after school hours. Koshino tells Masara she beat her personal record. Masara is puzzled by Koshino&#039;s passion.&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Masara passes Koshino training again. They start talking about her times regularly. Kokoro notes that Koshino will never catch up to Masara&#039;s times. Masara wonders what drives Koshino.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days before the competition, Koshino beats Masara&#039;s record once. The swim club captain praises her. Masara feels something but cannot identify it. She is not annoyed. She does not know what she feels.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day before the competition, Koshino has an accident and cannot compete. Masara agrees to take her place. She is surprised by her own motivation. Kokoro notices the change.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the competition, Masara swims well. Her team finishes second, but she was in the lead when passing the baton. Koshino comes to watch and thanks Masara for doing the race for her. Kokoro says Masara has changed. Masara decides she wants to keep swimming a while longer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika Ayano&#039;s Heartphial Story: Haunting Love, Haunting Mistake===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika Ayano reflects on her life. She does not want to feel like she became a Magical Girl for nothing. She got to see what dating is like and made loads of friends. But sins do not wash away so easily. That is the price you pay for a miracle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback, but the entirety seems like mostly a flashback) Kyubey offers Rika any wish in exchange for becoming a Magical Girl. Hinano warns her not to do it, but Rika ignores the advice. She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Riko Chiaki&#039;s Heartphial Story: Worked Out with a Woof===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki reflects on her life. Even though her mom and dad were hardly home because of work, she never felt lonely as long as Miss K was around. She cared about her so much that she just wanted to help her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback) Riko helps out at her parents&#039; bento store. She is close with Miss K, the daughter of the hardware store owner next door. Miss K has always been like a big sister to her. Miss K cries to Riko that her father opposes her marriage because he does not want her to move far away. Riko wishes to Kyubey for Miss K&#039;s marriage to be accepted. She becomes a Magical Girl. Miss K gets married and moves away. Riko misses her but does not regret her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Riko goes filming with Ashley. She tells Ashley about Miss K. She explains that Miss K&#039;s father never fully accepted the marriage, and they have not made up. Riko receives a message from Miss K saying she was in the hospital because she was pregnant. She invites Riko to visit her new house. Riko goes and meets the baby. Miss K asks Riko to be friends with her child. Riko becomes like a big sister to the baby. She feels happy that her wish came true but is sad Miss K and her father never reconciled.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko walks Mameji and sees Miss K&#039;s father standing outside the hardware store, looking sad. She wonders what is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley advises Riko to ask Miss K directly if she wants to make up with her father. Riko texts Miss K and asks to meet. Miss K replies that she will come to Riko&#039;s town instead. Riko is excited.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Miss K visits Riko. They talk about her father. Miss K says she wants to make up with him but does not know how. Riko suggests inviting him to meet the baby, giving him a present, or going on a family trip. Miss K doubts any of it will work. They walk to Riko&#039;s store together. They encounter Miss K&#039;s father outside. Riko admits she asked Miss K to come so they could patch things up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Miss K&#039;s father reveals he brought a herbarium to Riko&#039;s store. It was originally meant as a gift for his grandchild, but he could not bring himself to deliver it. Riko realizes Mameji had been guiding her this whole time. Earlier, Mameji had barked at the cake that turned out to be from Miss K&#039;s father. Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky. She realizes she is dying, having protected Yachiyo. She remembers how everyone was fighting for dear life. She wished she were stronger to help them. She is sorry for not being stronger. She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ashley Taylor&#039;s Heartphial Story: Can&#039;t Be Myself Without What I Love===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley Taylor reflects on her life. Studying in Japan is awesome fun. She wants to find more kawaii for her vlog viewers back home and asks her father to watch over her while she pursues her passions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley vlogs with Riko&#039;s help. She films herself shopping for Magical Kirin merch and gurokawa items. After editing and uploading the video, she replies to comments from her followers. She thinks about her father and hopes he is watching.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley remembers the day she wanted to study abroad in Japan. Her father refused without giving a clear reason, which was unusual. Kyubey appeared and offered to grant any wish. Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko notices Ashley seems down. She worries Ashley is overworking herself by vlogging daily and replying to comments late at night. Ashley says it does not feel like work because she loves it. She thanks Riko for being a kind friend. They go out to film another vlog.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley continues vlogging daily. She worries about skipping a day because her followers might unfollow her. She wakes up to find Kumanosuke missing. She panics, feeling like her world is ending. Riko arrives with a bento and finds Ashley crying. Ashley explains she lost Kumanosuke. Riko comforts her and says it is okay to skip a vlog. Ashley admits she has been using followers&#039; comments to fill the hole left by her father&#039;s death. Riko says she understands loss—she misses her sister who moved far away. They decide to search for Kumanosuke.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko suggests Ashley ask her followers for help finding Kumanosuke. During a live stream, a commenter suggests rewatching her previous vlog. Ashley realizes she left Kumanosuke on a chair when she got distracted by a crane machine. They find Kumanosuke on a shelf at the store, dressed in Waloli Gurokawa clothes. Ashley gets him back. She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

The books are Hachslingen&#039;s &amp;quot;General Theory of the Origin of the Universe,&amp;quot; Cosinberg&#039;s &amp;quot;Celestial Forces,&amp;quot; and Dadatri&#039;s &amp;quot;Glimmer of the Planet.&amp;quot; She claims no one will hand them over.

===Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call|Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wait, You Got It Wrong!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayu Kozue&#039;s most treasured possession is a bear pendant her father carved for her before he died. When a hand-drawn postcard is stolen from the museum where she works, security footage shows her friend Ria at the scene moments later. Mayu cannot reach Ria and suspects a Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~|Wait, You Got It Wrong! / Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While searching for Ria, Mayu encounters Asuka Tatsuki, whose family&#039;s invaluable book of secrets was also stolen. A witness described a blonde girl in a Mizuna uniform—Ria. They find Sayuki Fumino crying over her stolen sword book, then Rena Minami who was bumped by the same girl. At Walnut&#039;s restaurant, Manaka Kurumi accuses Ria of stealing a rice omelet. A Witch barrier appears, and after Mayu and Asuka defeat the Familiars, Ria arrives demanding to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka challenges Ria to a duel over the thefts, and Ria loses. She confesses to something embarrassing, and everyone assumes she means the thefts—but she meant a binder of idol clippings she desperately hopes no one saw. She was only chasing the Witch to recover her own stolen belongings. Relieved, Mayu and Asuka join her. They track and defeat the Witch, recovering most items, but the museum postcard, the dojo book, and Ria&#039;s binder remain missing. They agree to search again tomorrow. That night, Mayu dreams of her father, who tells her material things are destined to break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, thefts continue across the city. Mayu realizes the Witch they defeated was only a Familiar and the real Witch is still out there. She offers her precious pendant as bait to track it. Despite Ria&#039;s protests, Mayu uses it, and they follow the magic trail to the Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After a difficult battle, they recover all stolen items, though Mayu&#039;s pendant is scratched and its chain broken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu is unbothered. She explains that material possessions naturally break, but the memories they hold remain in her heart—a lesson from her father. Asuka and Ria are moved, and Mayu turns to walk home, promptly falls into a lake, and flounders while Ria sighs that she has not changed at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor she calls Miss K. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Miss K with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Miss K&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Miss K to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

===&amp;quot;Let&#039;s hit the Suitoku baths! (Music Collection 1 bonus drama)&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo, Iroha, and Sana prepare a meal. Felicia reluctantly helps. Tsuruno arrives with a flyer for Suitokuyu, a public bathhouse holding an event as part of a shopping district revitalization plan. She invites everyone to go together. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the bathhouse, they read the posted rules. Tsuruno pretends to be a &amp;quot;bathhouse master&amp;quot; and teaches them. Sana becomes embarrassed about being naked in front of everyone. Yachiyo understands her feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Villa. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;
~A Little Break For Us~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===This is The Warmest Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha is going about her day when Sana, Felicia, and Ui present her with a pinwheel and ask her to blow on it. Though confused by their strange behavior, Iroha does as they ask and the girls thank her before quickly scampering off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~#This Is The Warmest Day Login Special|This is The Warmest Day]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts. When Yachiyo asks Iroha&#039;s opinion, Iroha expresses her love for shortcake and suggests they bake one immediately, but Yachiyo insists she wait for the right moment, which will come sooner than she thinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Lavi is shopping when Nayuta finds her to share news about her math test score. They return home where Lavi prepares dinner, and Nayuta discovers Lavi earned perfect scores in every subject, highlighting the gap between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House|The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day while Lavi runs errands, Nayuta confides in Mikage about her fears that Lavi only respects her father and secretly resents serving her. Seeking answers, Nayuta visits Mitama, who suggests that kindness and broad-mindedness are the traits she needs to develop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Nayuta observes how hard Lavi works attending school, studying, handling housework, and fighting witches. Worried she might collapse, Nayuta offers Lavi time off for her upcoming sixteenth birthday and secretly plans a surprise party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later on Lavi&#039;s birthday, Nayuta and Mikage struggle through cleaning the house and preparing a celebration. Their efforts are interrupted when Lavi returns early for lunch, scolds them for the mess, but leaves again at Nayuta&#039;s insistence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Lavi returns that evening, the handmade kusudama falls onto the cake and catches fire. Lavi extinguishes it with water, and Nayuta is left mortified as her surprise party fails spectacularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Nayuta senses lingering coldness from Lavi and struggles to find the right way to apologize. Remembering her father&#039;s example, she decides to catch and cook a fish as an apology gift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day at a fishing center, Nayuta encounters girls from the Tokime clan who teach her how to gut fish. Despite being disturbed by the process, she perseveres and eventually catches the exact fish she wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning home late, Nayuta discovers a threatening letter addressed to Lavi and deduces it must be connected to the serious trouble from Lavi&#039;s hometown. She rushes to the market street with Mikage to protect her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the market street, Nayuta confronts the man speaking with Lavi, declaring herself as Satomi Tasuke&#039;s daughter to intimidate him. The man reveals he is simply a stalker with no connection to Lavi&#039;s past, and when he becomes agitated, Nayuta tackles him unconscious as a crowd applauds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Nayuta presents the cooked fish and apologizes. Lavi admits she was barely angry anymore and thanks Nayuta for protecting her, acknowledging she was just like her father in that moment. Nayuta produces a second kusudama and cake, and this time the celebration succeeds. As they pick confetti from the cake, Lavi quietly says she will continue to admire Nayuta until the final day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune. The Rumor says that if you receive the book and find a drawing of yourself, the sketched event will happen and if you try to stop it, a creature named Ketch drags you into the book. Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One summer morning, Mitama is at her shop and she has set up a small café corner called Hot☆Corner. The cat, Doyle, is especially attached to her lately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery|The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day|Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Rumored Temp Counselor===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

===Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away|Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

* The following day, Ryoko investigates and discovers Sakuya hid her own shoes and started the gossip to isolate herself. Sakuya confesses she killed her best friend in the war and must remain alone to avoid hurting anyone else. Ryoko declares she will save Sakuya by becoming her best friend, and they fight until exhausted. That night, Sakuya dreams of her deceased friend, who thanks her and tells her to move forward. She wakes to find Ryoko collapsed from hunger, and they talk for hours like ordinary friends. Though they agree they cannot meet again until the battles are over, they promise to become true friends then.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mikage wonders if she might become famous but worries about sketchy people, and Mitama jokingly offers to beat them up. Mikage asks if they can make real chocolate together, but Mitama needs to go to her coordinator shop. Mikage promises to do things that make her sister smile instead, and Mitama suggests they make Valentine&#039;s chocolate together next year.

After the meeting, Yuna confides in Hikaru that she feels guilty for not noticing everyone&#039;s exhaustion and decides to solve each person&#039;s problems personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend. Though relieved it&#039;s not her own love life, Yuna insists on helping anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s place, the group brainstorms confession advice. The conversation shifts when Ao receives a text from her parents—she&#039;s been lying to them about her late nights as a magical girl, claiming she&#039;s in an e-sports tournament. To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the online tournament, chaos ensues as Juri attacks teammates, Hikaru sets the kitchen on fire, and Yuna fails at selling merchandise. Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the student council meeting, Yuna honestly requests more time to handle personal matters, promising to dedicate herself fully afterward. The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

==Magia Record Events==&lt;br /&gt;
===See You Tomorrow===&lt;br /&gt;
* One morning at the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira greets an older neighbor who warns her about increasing danger in the area. Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight.

===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them. The girl agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, finishing the final preparations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day of the school festival proceeds without major incident. Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, sampling food and enjoying the event. They take a photo together at the repaired arch—Tsumugi, Manaka, and the transfer student in her uniform. The transfer student reflects later that she will cherish the photo forever, grateful for the kindness she did not feel she deserved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* An earthquake strikes the city, and on a rooftop, Jun Kazari drops both her yo-yo and her soul gem while practicing tricks. She chases after the soul gem, while the yo-yo falls into the hood of Mitsune Miwa, a hikikomori watching a performance below. Mitsune decides to return it and runs up the stairs, where she collides with Jun. Jun explains she needs her soul gem, and Mitsune returns the yo-yo. A Witch&#039;s barrier appears around them, and Jun transforms to fight while telling Mitsune to close her eyes. Mitsune peeks, collapses after seeing the Witch die, and Jun carries her outside, claiming it was all a dream. Jun insists on treating Mitsune since she saved her yo-yo, and takes her to a candy store called Tomorrow Shop. Jun introduces her to the children there, and Mitsune is amazed by how loved Jun is.

She used her wish to save the shop, but now realizes other things are more important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Jun tells Mitsune she is moving next week and that magical girls do not have the kind of magic Mitsune dreams of. Mitsune must make her own dreams come true. Jun promises to prove she does not need magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Jun finds that the children and Mitsune went to explore Shinsei Ward without her. She finds them at an abandoned construction site where Mitsune encountered a Witch. Mitsune sent the children away but stayed behind. Jun arrives and uses a homemade bomb to damage the Witch before they escape. A gas leak causes a larger explosion, and they escape on Kanae&#039;s motorcycle. Kanae later destroys the Witch barrier herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Jun says goodbye at the shop. Mitsune arrives crying, and Jun gives her a fake gum toy as a farewell gift.

* Yachiyo&#039;s manager tells her the unit will be disbanded at the end of the month. Yachiyo is devastated. Her wish to keep the unit alive was meaningless. She meets Mifuyu at the candy store.

===The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Magia Record Event - The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf|The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo bumps into Tsuruno on a day when school is out. Yachiyo has a job performing in a recorded drama with Sayuki that will be screened on Tanabata. Tsuruno recalls Yachiyo&#039;s poor performance in Karin&#039;s Halloween play and decides to join her to help. Yachiyo welcomes her.&lt;br /&gt;
** On set, Ria and Mayu are assisting with makeup and costumes. Yachiyo recognizes Ria, calls her by name, and praises her work, causing Ria to internally fangirl. Yachiyo grows anxious seeing so many Magical Girls gathered, recalling how a previous production with magical girls turned into a disaster. Tsuruno reassures her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wins over the production team with her exuberance. The play&#039;s co-star drops out, and the director asks Tsuruno to take the role. She eagerly accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a fairy tale about an ancient Mizuna legend. Two girls, Tsuyu and Chizuru, befriend each other despite their families&#039; rivalry and join forces to punish a selfish lord. Yachiyo plays Tsuyu, the ice queen with a heart of gold. Tsuruno plays Chizuru, the cheerful and impetuous girl. Sayuki plays the Magpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** During the script reading, everyone realizes Yachiyo&#039;s acting skills are still terrible. Yachiyo confides that she has turned down many acting jobs but accepted this one because the director begged her, even if she flops. She vows to see it through to expand her repertoire. Tsuruno promises to stay by her side.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria is in shock seeing her idol perform poorly. The filmmakers work around it by taking away Yachiyo&#039;s lines. Ria confronts Yachiyo and Tsuruno after the reading, declaring she will give Yachiyo an acting bootcamp. She does not want Yachiyo&#039;s performance to drag down her makeup work or her reputation as Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at home, Yachiyo reviews the script. Tsuruno explains the Mizuna fairy tale to the rest of Mikazuki. Felicia becomes interested when she learns there are fight scenes. Tsuruno explains that the day Tsuyu and Chizuru teamed up was Tanabata, and people in Kamihama entrust their wishes to them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next week or so, Yachiyo is drilled on acting with a professional coach and Ria&#039;s guidance. She eventually executes her lines perfectly and Ria is relieved.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sea is a Link Through Time /  The Call of the Open Sea===&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. There&#039;s two different versions at hand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Momoko and Mitama arrive at a resort near a village with a legend about a Diviner who eloped with a sailor and sank with stolen treasure. Mitama reveals they are actually there to hunt for this treasure based on a fairy tale Mikage heard. While exploring the private beach, they encounter Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao from the Tokime Clan, who stumbled there by accident. The group decides to spend the day together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|The Call of the Open Sea]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, they attend a festival in a nearby village that turns out to be a branch of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka learns the villagers consider Diviners a superstition. Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Big Sis, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Felicia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward. Kyubey finds a fuming Felicia, who decides to hire herself out as a mercenary to other magical girls for money or Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Felicia Mitsuki#Side Story|Felicia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia encounters Asuka and Sasara and defeats a witch for them, but they let her keep the Grief Seed and leave without paying, leaving her frustrated. Kako appears, concerned, but Felicia rejects her harshly and immediately regrets it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia helps defeat the witch and collapses from exhaustion, silently vowing to destroy every witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Touka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art. The Amanes are relieved, and Tsukuyo suggests they play their flutes at the shrine on the way home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo thinks the flute&#039;s song has always warmed her heart, while Tsukasa reflects it is a bridge connecting her to her sister. Both affirm that their only allies are each other, and they will always be together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends. Before Hibari&#039;s family moved away, she performed a charm ritual on Aru and promised they would meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message that Hibari is coming to visit Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After some confusion about directions, they reach the arcade where Hibari wins a crane game prize and helps Juri win one too.

Kagome calls her and Hibari thanks her for being friends before saying goodbye, with an ambulance audible in the background.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome discovers a crowd under a Witch&#039;s Kiss heading toward a rooftop and sends emergency messages to every Magical Girl she knows. Himena&#039;s group arrives to help hold back the crowd, but other girls cannot come due to similar incidents elsewhere. Shizuka finally checks her phone and rushes over with the Tokime Clan just as someone threatens to ignite kerosene. They stop the crowd while Juri and Ao defeat the Witch with Livia&#039;s help. The Witch&#039;s Kiss is lifted and Hibari wakes up confused, with Livia covering that she collapsed from anemia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari admits she felt faint because seeing Kagome surrounded by friends made her happy but also made her feel left behind and alone. Kagome insists Hibari is wrong and promises to come running whenever Hibari is in trouble, asking them to stay best friends forever. Hibari reveals the two wishes she made when they parted came true: that she could speak her mind loudly and that Kagome would make lots of friends. They renew their promise to remain best friends forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They bonded over a shared love of &amp;quot;The Adventure of Mandragora.&amp;quot; Hibari gave Kagome a Mandragora plushie named Al-chan and asked to be friends. Kagome learned ventriloquism through Al-chan and grew more confident. The two became inseparable.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kagome&#039;s family moved due to her father&#039;s job transfer, Hibari put a charm on Al-chan with a secret wish. They promised to meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message from Hibari saying she will visit Kamihama. Kagome prepares to show her around.&lt;br /&gt;

They promise to remain best friends forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* Day 3&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri&#039;s father came home late, discussing his upcoming land deal and boxing match against an old rival. He said he could not ignore past stains and needed to win. Juri reflected on how much she and her father were alike. She decided she needed to settle her own score with Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 4&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri struggled at school, frustrated by classmates who avoided conflict and teachers who enabled them. Her anger built up. She reflected on how she became a Magical Girl—she wished for a patient, stout heart to stay in school and not burden her father. The wish gave her patience but did not eliminate her anger; it built up as flames until she exploded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl Yuna introduced continued to spar with Juri. The girl revealed Juri had saved her from a Witch, and she admired Juri.

She told her followers to follow her. Yuna said she hated Juri. Juri said she had put a nail in Yuna&#039;s coffin and dared her to pry it out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 7 (Present Day)&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri explained the rest of the story to the group. The accident triggered the Blood Tragedy of Futatsugi. Ranka had been exploited by Monzenbashi Bat, and Ao formed Janomiya. Juri reflected that the recent months had been the toughest. She came home late again. Her father asked about her absences. Juri said she was fighting for the future and would explain in a few months. She reflected on how much she and her father were alike, both unable to ignore past stains. She said she liked being with him, just the two of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The Tokime trio goes shopping and stops by Emiri’s office, where they meet Hinano and Kanoko. After awkward introductions, Shizuka admits she does not know what a factory is, so Kanoko explains. Emiri asks what country life is like; Chiharu and Sunao give different answers from Shizuka since they are more familiar with modern living. They mention meeting only recently, surprising Emiri.

After thinking it over, she searches for information with help from others, but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hinano explains that because the agreement fell through, local manufacturers like Kanoko’s father stayed in business, so there was little news. Chiharu and Sunao arrange a meeting at the factory and bring Shizuka. Kanoko’s father tells Shizuka his factory would have failed otherwise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Shigure and Hagumu grow close but quickly become jaded. Their families and classmates resent their constant lateness, which comes from Magius work no one can know about.

===Hagumu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hagumu reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. After Walpurgisnacht, the organization dissolved, and many former Feathers joined the Kamihama Magia Union. Hagumu is uncertain, as she believes in Magical Girl Supremacy and cannot accept the Union&#039;s ideology of liberation without sacrifice. Shigure contacts her, asking to meet and talk. Shigure wants to convince Touka and Nemu to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Hagumu is conflicted—she cannot trust the Magius after being exploited, but she also cannot decide what to do. She asks for time to think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hagumu Azumi#Side Story|Hagumu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu meets Maria, a former Magius member who joined the Union. Maria notices Hagumu looks unwell and offers to listen. Hagumu explains her dilemma: she cannot agree with the Union&#039;s ideology, but she also cannot follow Shigure&#039;s plan. Maria suggests Hagumu ask other Magical Girls how they decided. Hagumu recalls her wish was made in haste to save a woman under a Witch&#039;s Kiss, and she regrets not choosing a better wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Moka why she joined the Union. Moka says she joined because she was invited and everyone is kind.

** Hagumu asks Yukika, a former Black Feather, why she declined the Union. Yukika says she did not want to drag others into trouble. Hagumu sees Yukika has strong convictions and follows them, unlike herself. Hagumu feels more discouraged.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches. Hagumu is moved but asks for more time to discuss it with Shigure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hagumu senses a Witch and goes to help. She sees Riko, an elementary schooler, defeating the Witch on her own.

She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* At the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena, Alexandra, Hagumu, and Shigure watch as San stretches Miyuri. Miyuri&#039;s loud reactions draw attention.

She fell in love with the feeling of cutting through the wind and quickly improved, eventually competing in freestyle competitions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Miyuri Yukari#Side Story|Miyuri&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s social anxiety worsened. She began experiencing panic attacks at competitions and could no longer compete. Her parents signed her up with the Hikarizuka Youth Association to help her interact with people. There, she met San for the first time. San invited her to dance practice. Miyuri fainted from overexcitement while watching San&#039;s legs. She realized she had a leg fetish and that it triggered her anxiety. She began avoiding San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s skating practice suffered. Her mother suggested she visit the Community Center. Miyuri avoided San again and went outside to practice skating alone at night. She felt free and happy while skating. San saw her dancing in the moonlight and was mesmerized. San decided she wanted to help Miyuri grow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish. San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri learned her new power shortened her experience of anxiety. She became more confident but still fainted easily. She fought Witches alone, often blacking out and going berserk.

San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training.

Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true. She asks for a little more time in her beloved daily life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Asahi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime Tribe holds a celebration to welcome Asahi. During introductions, Chiharu rambles excitedly about her favorite shows, and Asahi finds herself intrigued. When pressed to share more about herself, Asahi talks about hunting and the importance of minimizing suffering. That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun. Everyone apologizes, and they end the day with a shared dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Alexandra&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Re-analyze and structure this. It is a double-story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra dreams of her school days. She sees her past self smiling and realizes she is dreaming of the time she was in love. In the dream, she discusses love with Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu. Himena shares a romantic story about stargazing with Hiko. When Himena asks about their own love lives, Alexandra begins crying unexpectedly. She denies anything is wrong, but Himena apologizes for being insensitive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Alexandra Kurusu#Side Story|Alexandra&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, Alexandra&#039;s teacher appears—but he looks like Shigure. Other people appear as Himena and Hagumu. She recalls that her teacher was her math teacher and club advisor. He was strict and had a reputation for being scary. Alexandra remembers how she would complain about him with her classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After club activities, Alexandra wants to practice singing more. She goes to the rooftop and finds the teacher there. He allows her to practice under his supervision. They begin meeting regularly on the rooftop. She learns he does not smoke and is careful about his throat. He mentions that being an adult is not that great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A male classmate confesses to Alexandra. She almost accepts but pictures the teacher&#039;s face and realizes she loves someone else. She rejects the classmate. Later, it rains, and the teacher lends her his towel. She realizes she has fallen in love with him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra begins trying to appeal to the teacher daily. She asks about his relationship status and learns he is single. She indirectly describes him when talking about her type. She leaves a love letter in his shoe locker. He thinks it is a prank but recognizes her handwriting. She keeps trying to convey her feelings, but he never takes her seriously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra&#039;s behavior becomes obvious in class. She eagerly volunteers to answer questions and is overly happy when called on. Her classmates are amazed she can talk to the scary teacher so cheerfully. She learns everyone fears him. She asks why he became a teacher, and he admits his parents were teachers and he had wanted to be a singer but never pursued it. He wonders if there is any meaning to his life. Alexandra feels sorrow and wants him to be happy. She begins planning to improve his reputation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey appears and offers to grant any wish. Alexandra wants to capture the teacher&#039;s heart through her own efforts. She decides not to make a wish yet. She organizes a surprise birthday party for him with her classmates. He is genuinely happy and thanks her. He realizes she planned it. She tells him all the students respect him. He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra continues her jokes and attempts to get closer to the teacher. She jokes about marriage and asks for a date on the school trip. He unexpectedly agrees to go shopping with her for a few minutes. She hugs him in excitement. A classmate spots them on the rooftop. Rumors spread quickly. The principal calls the teacher in. He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra cannot wake up from the dream. She imagines the teacher scolding her for playing with his feelings. She decides she needs to apologize in real life. She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love. She tells him her feelings were not a deception—they were true love. She thanks him for a wonderful time and says she now only places her faith in Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Urara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara volunteers to do grocery shopping for Lavi. At the supermarket, she gets distracted by flash sales and buys beef, bean sprouts, and curry ingredients. She forgets Lavi&#039;s shopping list. Lavi forgives her but asks her to be more self-controlled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Urara Yume#Side Story|Urara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Urara announces she is returning to Yukuni to quit her talent agency. Lavi insists on accompanying her for safety due to the Magical Girl eradication faction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara and Lavi travel to Yukuni. Urara loses her wallet, but Lavi finds it. At the agency, Urara&#039;s manager asks her to coach a children&#039;s diabolo class as a final job. Urara accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the diabolo class, Urara teaches the class alone. Some children struggle to follow her teaching style. Lavi, Alexandra, and Asahi watch from a distance. During lunch, Urara admits she cannot explain techniques well. Lavi analyzes the wrist angles and timing, and the others offer to help. The class is a success.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Urara feels inadequate and misses her former partner, Kurara. She remembers Kurara was better at teaching. Lavi notices Urara is depressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Several days later, Urara returns to Yukuni to pick up her resignation papers. Lavi accompanies her. Urara admits she misses Kurara. Lavi warns her that reconciliation is unlikely, but Urara insists on trying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the agency, Urara confronts Kurara. Kurara reveals she always resented being compared to Urara&#039;s natural talent and felt like &amp;quot;Not-Urara.&amp;quot; She says breaking up the duo was for the best and asks Urara to stop involving herself. Urara is devastated. She returns to Kamihama and cries to Lavi, who comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Urara receives a message from her manager. A girl named Rei from the diabolo class wants more lessons. Urara agrees to meet her. Rei wants to learn the &amp;quot;Urara Special&amp;quot; to beat a prodigy her age. Urara remembers how she unknowingly hurt Kurara by copying her tricks too easily. She decides to coach Rei properly. Lavi offers to stay and help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara and Rei practice together. Lavi advises on timing. Rei successfully performs the trick. Urara tells her to remember the joy of performing, not just winning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rei competes and wins her first cup by performing the Urara Special, a trick even the prodigy could not do. Rei thanks Urara. Urara realizes that coaching helped her grow and face her regrets about Kurara. Rei asks Urara to be her permanent coach. Urara agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara returns to the Folklore base. She announces she will continue coaching diabolo classes. She wants to pass down her goal of making people smile through diabolo acts to the next generation. Lavi and the others support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nayuta&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta dreams of proving folkloric studies superior to Touka, but Lavi wakes her with obnoxious humming. Lavi scolds her for being a deep sleeper and rushes her to school in Takarazaki City, where Nayuta complains that Lavi acts like a stern stepmother rather than a kind maid her age.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In class, a self‑assessment exercise has Nayuta describe herself as quiet and diligent, but her peers call her stubborn, someone who hates losing and speaks her mind. She reluctantly accepts “stubborn” fits her persistent search for her father. The teacher introduces the Johari Window, explaining that without communication people understand themselves at most fifty percent and others only twenty‑five percent—a lesson that sticks with Nayuta.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Nayuta meets Iroha at the train station. Both are surprised the other remembers them. They discover they are the same grade and both hail from Takarazaki, and Iroha mentions she also searched for a lost loved one. Nayuta requests to see Yachiyo, apologizing for her bluntness. Iroha reassures her, noting they are both stubborn junior‑high girls from Takarazaki who came to Kamihama to find someone important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Yachiyo has no new information about Nayuta’s father. Tsuruno has Nayuta show a photo, but no one recognizes him. Felicia suggests Nayuta simply ask Touka, since she also grew up at Satomi Medical Center. Nayuta refuses, saying she cannot trust Touka, and apologizes for her stubbornness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Nayuta admits to Lavi she slept poorly because she cannot stop thinking about Touka. Mikage arrives, upset after a fight with Sudachi: Mikage complained about school, Sudachi said she envied Mikage for being able to attend, and they argued over whose position was harder.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home. Lavi approves of her standing her ground, and Nayuta realizes she and Lavi are more alike than she thought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, classmates who used to bully her avoid her, but Mikage is determined to find Magical Girl friends. Himika tells her about Emiri’s counseling center, so they go there together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the center, Emiri, Sasara, Asuka, and Kanoko are delighted to meet Mitama’s little sister. Mikage explains she is looking for a friend, but Emiri points out they are already her friends. After some banter about fashion, Mikage tries on Kanoko’s outfits and has a wonderful time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mikage wonders if the older girls truly see her as a friend or just as a kid. Himika suggests she meet girls her own age like Ui, Touka, and Nemu, though Mikage is uncertain about befriending the geniuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When she returns home, Mitama warns her that Ui has been kidnapped by Promised Blood and forbids Mikage from associating with the Kamihama Magia Union. Mikage reluctantly agrees but is frustrated her efforts to make friends have been stopped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama leaves for work and Mikage accuses her of hypocrisy—Mitama can spend time with the KMU while Mikage cannot. She runs out, declaring she will find a new big sister. She finds Emiri’s office closed but runs into Rika and Ren, who quickly realize she is Mitama’s sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Mikage bond over fashion and go to some cheap stores, where Mikage realizes she left her wallet. They play a crane game instead, and Rika wins stuffed animals for Ren and Mikage. Mikage asks Rika to be her big sister; Rika declines but encourages her to talk to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory. Kanoko lets her help make a pendant, but before Mikage can convince her to become her sister, Mitama arrives and drags her home. Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any. Later, she finds Mitama has made all her favorite foods, and they reconcile off‑screen; Mikage gives Mitama the pendant she made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage declares she will not give up on making Kamihama Magia Union friends. She then decides that since Lavi and Nayuta are older, they can be her big sisters instead. They exchange a look and agree to treat her for one day. Mikage expresses her hope that someday she and Sudachi can play with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, a magical girl named Livia invited Sudachi to Kamihama, where their work might offer her salvation despite its difficult costs. Sudachi followed her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yozuru plays piano at a pharmacist’s request, impressing everyone, then meets Livia Medeiros and Sudachi Sawa. Sudachi exposes Mifuyu, who decides to introduce herself directly. Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yozuru meets Livia and Sudachi again. Yozuru worries she lacks the kindness to be a good coordinator, but Livia encourages her. Sudachi’s stomach rumbles, and Yozuru prepares snacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Livia warns Yozuru that her inability to read emotions will make coordinating difficult. Yozuru replies that her mother trained her to face worse and declares she will live to the fullest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After the battle, Nanaka explains Lil&#039; Kyubey followed her into the labyrinth and returned a flower she dropped.

&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices.

* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the boy reads the fairy tale Kuroe recommended. He questions a detail in the story, but Kuroe simply accepts it because the writer says so. He jokes that he feels alive because Kuroe thinks so deeply, meaning it as a compliment. Later a teacher asks about her high school plans; Kuroe claims she has decided, but she is merely following her family’s expectations and secretly does not want to go to high school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe dreams of Iroha, though she cannot understand her words. Her Doppel reflects that her contract gave her affirmation of existence, yet she still does not feel like anyone - she simply adapts to whatever situation she is in, resented by no one and dependent on no one, but still wondering who she should be. In the dream, Iroha asks what scares her and offers to figure out who Kuroe is together. Kuroe wakes up wondering why she dreamed of the camping trip, and she calls Iroha, deciding she wants to connect with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroeds&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Doppel Story|Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sasara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara is taken hostage at knifepoint in a convenience store. Despite her desire to be a knight, she is too terrified to act. Though the police arrest the criminal and she is safe, Sasara feels ashamed and hates herself for her cowardice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sasara Minagi#Side Story|Sasara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sasara meets Kyubey and when he makes his offer, Sasara accepts without hesitation. As her father works for an emergency rescue squad, a job she admires, he gave her a favorite picture book about a knight who defeats a dragon to save a village. Sasara carries this book everywhere and has always wanted to be like her father and the knight. She wishes to become a knight who can protect and save people, asking for a stronger heart and stronger convictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Sasara has been hunting witches and saving their victims ever since making her contract. She calls herself the Knight who protects the people of Kamihama, but over time her feelings become tainted. The people she rescues never remember what happened and do not acknowledge her. Sasara realizes she wants someone to appreciate her and questions whether she really wanted to become a knight at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book. She thought she could accept the people she helped not talking to her, but now it feels like she does not even exist. When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nanaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Needs to be re-checked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako to ask for their help fighting a witch they all share a connection to. To explain why she needs them, Nanaka tells them how she became a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka&#039;s father headed a traditional Japanese flower arranging school, but when he fell ill, senior students took over and grew the school&#039;s popularity while abandoning its traditions, shutting out Nanaka&#039;s family entirely. On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform. She decided to lay the Soul Gem with its owner&#039;s body, and when she placed the gem in the girl&#039;s hands, the girl began breathing again. Later, Kyubey explained that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Kyubey asks if Nanaka will tell the others this secret, but she says she is waiting for the right moment. Nanaka then reflects that her true revenge target is actually Kyubey himself. Her power makes it clear he is her enemy, though she does not know all the details, and she is waiting for the right time to turn against him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Nanaka&#039;s team is still unable to find the witch. Akira reports meeting a magical girl mercenary. As the girls plan their next move, Nanaka muses about how she is gathering the determination of magical girls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When he invites her to search with him, she feels hopeful that she will not be alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She stays for dinner and overnight, observing how the five girls live together like a family. Yachiyo invites her to stay as long as she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The next day, Shizuku ends her arrangement with the unknown magical girl and returns to Yachiyo&#039;s house, hoping she can stay there. When she arrives, the house is empty, and she sees the personal items that mark each girl&#039;s place. Overhearing them return, she realizes their home is complete with five people and she does not belong there. She leaves quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Shizuku returns to the unknown magical girl and asks for more work. When asked why she came back, she says their picture was complete with five people and she must keep searching for where she belongs. She mentally apologizes to Yachiyo, knowing her actions will cause disaster but feeling unprepared to take responsibility. She wonders if she will ever find solid ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** One day, she encountered a familiar without transforming and dropped her Soul Gem. Unable to retrieve it, she fled the barrier and collapsed unconscious outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira woke, Nanaka Tokiwa introduced herself as the magical girl who found her and picked up her Soul Gem. Nanaka advised withdrawing since Akira had collapsed, and Akira reluctantly agreed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Nanaka called asking for a favor. When they met again, Nanaka requested a duel, claiming Akira was weak and should quit hunting witches. Akira refused, citing her family&#039;s dojo, and they dueled. After some fighting, Nanaka ended the duel and apologized. She explained she wanted to test Akira&#039;s resolve and invited her to work together as a team. Akira relented after Nanaka claimed she was troubled and couldn&#039;t fight witches alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present day, Akira returns the cane to the old man and thanks Sasara. She reflects on meeting many magical girls since joining Nanaka and wonders how many exist in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kyubey observes Manaka cooking at her family&#039;s failing restaurant, Walnuts. She dreams of following her father&#039;s footsteps as a chef and believes that gaining admission to the prestigious St. Lillianna Academy will help her cook like a high class lady and restore the restaurant&#039;s popularity. Kyubey notes her poor grades make passing unlikely, but Manaka insists this is her father&#039;s last chance and resolves to study.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Manaka Kurumi#Side Story|Manaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Upon starting at Mizuna, Manaka visits the student council and offers to cook for an upcoming joint assembly with St. Lillian. The council dismisses her, explaining they already arranged a chef.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Walking home, Kyubey again offers a contract. Fed up, Manaka accepts but wishes not for the restaurant&#039;s success, but for a chance to spread their restaurant&#039;s flavors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the assembly, Manaka begins selling popular bentos at school and works as a visiting chef at St. Lillian every Thursday. However, none of this translates to more customers at her family&#039;s restaurant. Meanwhile, her father receives invitations to tour as a chef and seems genuinely happy traveling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt; Manaka questions why she even bothered trying.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Manaka finishes selling bentos and keeps one for herself. Sana Futaba rushes in, upset at arriving too late. Sana explains she can normally only be seen by magical girls, but Manaka insists a first-class chef never loses sight of her customers and offers her bento. Sana accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana promises to arrive earlier tomorrow, but Manaka reveals this may be her last day selling bentos. She admits she thinks she made her restaurant even more obscure, and if she is not helping it, she sees no point in cooking. Sana tearfully confesses that Manaka&#039;s bentos became the only thing she looked forward to during lonely lunch breaks. She insists Manaka should not quit because she is still making people happy. Seeing Sana smile gives Manaka new motivation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After contracts of: Kako, Manaka&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A documentary crew follows Ria Ami, whose natural beauty causes crowds to part, though she admits she has no basis for comparison when asked about her challenges. Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ria asks Manaka to be her bodyguard while buying the magazine featuring her article, wearing sunglasses to avoid being seen. Inside, she discovers her article occupies only one page, while Yachiyo has an eight-page spread. Furious and convinced Yachiyo did it on purpose, Ria tears the magazine in half, and the clerk charges her for it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;riass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ria Ami#Side Story|Ria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Sakuya, Yuna, and Hikaru discuss Sakuya&#039;s problem.

* Five days later, Tsumugi has been training with Ria&#039;s help, visiting different restaurants and improving her reviews. Her blog has gained more followers. Meanwhile, Manaka feels she hasn&#039;t reached her father&#039;s level as a chef but refuses to discuss it, insisting a chef cannot ask a diner for advice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and Ria eat at Walnuts. Manaka is surprised by Tsumugi&#039;s improved reviews and lifts any implied ban. Tsumugi wants to fill Walnuts with people, but Manaka says she prefers just Tsumugi coming to enjoy her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the event, Tsumugi cries and confesses disappointment that none of her followers came, feeling she is just an average student with no unique qualities.

* Ren stands on a rooftop, contemplating suicide. Kyubey warns her that if she repeats her previous actions, her Soul Gem will be destroyed. Ren understands. She thinks about how people have always said hurtful things and believes she cannot live in such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nearby, Rika defeats a Witch and sees Ren about to jump. She saves her and asks why she wants to die. Ren cannot answer. She reflects on her childhood: she has always had trouble speaking and was teased and bullied for it. She attempted suicide once before but was scared of dying. Kyubey appeared and granted her wish to live.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explained that the bullying was caused by a Witch&#039;s influence—Witches hurt people, who then hurt others. Ren resolved to destroy Witches to create a better world. However, no matter how many Witches she defeated, people still acted cruelly. Kyubey told her that even destroying all Witches would not remove malice from people&#039;s hearts. This is why Ren wanted to die again, but she cannot explain any of this to Rika.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika takes Ren to meet other Magical Girls. At Emiri&#039;s Trouble Consultation Office, Ren meets Akira but cannot introduce herself and nearly cries. Emiri brings her to Ria, who gives her hand cream, and Konomi, who gives her chamomile tea. Rika then takes Ren to the chemistry club, where Hinano gives her candy instead of medicine. They visit Kanoko at her family&#039;s metal factory, where Kanoko shows a dress she designed with mushroom motifs and gives Ren accessories made of metal sheets. Emiri leaves, and Rika admits she never actually listened to Ren&#039;s problem.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika shares her own story: she wished for someone she loved to love her back, even though that person already liked someone else. She says she stole that love with a selfish wish and asks Ren if she thinks she is a horrible person. Ren manages to say she does not think so. Rika is relieved. She explains that to get others to open up, you must share the secrets that create distance.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren tries to tell her story but cannot get the words out and begins crying. Rika tells her not to force herself. She shows Ren all the gifts she received from the others and says that if all these people were thinking about her, she should continue to live. She says the world is filled with both bad and beautiful things, and the most painful thing is to have nothing. Ren says she will live. Rika leaves, and Ren thanks her. Ren thinks that if Rika can accept her story, she will be able to live forever.&lt;br /&gt;

Despite Hazuki&#039;s warnings, Ayame tries Konoha&#039;s cooking. Later, Hazuki returns to find Ayame sick; Konoha learns Ayame was too polite to refuse the food. Hazuki offers to handle meals from now on, which prompts Konoha to resolve that she will learn to make delicious food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konoha Shizumi#Side Story|Konoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She makes a disastrous meal incorporating everything she read, and Hazuki collapses after tasting it. Ayame brings home a flyer for a cooking class at &amp;quot;Youshoku Walnuts,&amp;quot; noting that the food there made Hazuki cry. Ayame encourages Konoha, and Konoha resolves to take the class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Konoha meets the teacher, Manaka Kurumi, at the restaurant. Manaka attempts to teach knife skills and how to crack eggs, but Konoha struggles with both. Manaka promises to help her improve. She has Konoha make practice dishes, but Konoha burns oil, over-dashes rice, and explodes miso soup, so Manaka has to take over each time. When finished, Manaka tastes it, insists it&#039;s good to protect her reputation, eats it all, and passes out. Konoha tries the leftovers and confirms it is truly terrible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha hunts a witch with her team while distracted by thoughts about cooking.

When Ayame asks about being an older sister, Himika invites her to meet her family. Konoha asks to come as Ayame&#039;s guardian upon learning Himika cooks for her family, and Himika accepts. Hazuki says she will prepare dinner at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, at Himika&#039;s house, Konoha and Ayame observe the cramped living space. Himika explains she uses cheap leftover meat blends from a disposal man to feed her family. She serves dinner, and all her siblings along with Ayame eat. When Konoha asks if the food is tasty, the siblings say they never think it&#039;s bad because Himika does her best. Konoha reflects on Azalea&#039;s House and realizes she was too focused on theory rather than on who she was cooking for. She thanks Himika and leaves with Ayame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, Ayame and Hazuki find Konoha cooking again. Konoha promises to give up if she fails this time. Focusing on her feelings rather than theory, she makes a meal from Azalea&#039;s. Hazuki and Ayame try it and say it&#039;s bad, but it&#039;s edible. Konoha is excited that someone could actually eat her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ayame returns home to find Konoha cooking again. Hazuki observes that Konoha has found joy in the act of cooking.

She thinks cooking is fun, though Ayame and Hazuki sometimes scream loud enough to startle the neighbors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Hazuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame meet with Nanaka, Meiyui, Akira, and Kako at a restaurant to discuss how to handle situations where both teams target the same Witch. Meiyui proposes a first-come, first-served rule, but Hazuki points out it would lead to disputes over who arrived first. Ayame suggests settling conflicts with rock-paper-scissors, and though Meiyui argues there&#039;s no time for games in battle, Hazuki has them try it on the spot. When Ayame and Meiyui play, Meiyui uses a martial arts technique to change Ayame&#039;s hand, causing an argument between the groups. Hazuki calms everyone down and suggests they go home for the day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hazuki Yusa#Side Story|Hazuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls reconvene at the restaurant. Hazuki proposes a new rule: anyone who uses magic against a Witch gains proportional rights to the Grief Seed. Both teams agree, and Hazuki suggests they gather data by hunting together. They split into mixed teams—Ayame and Kako form one; Hazuki, Akira, and Meiyui another and Konoha and Nanaka stand by to help as needed. After the successful joint hunt, Nanaka meets with Hazuki alone at the restaurant. She reveals she believes Hazuki manipulated the entire situation from the first meeting, noting that her team was impressed with Hazuki&#039;s group&#039;s teamwork but that she herself was more struck by Hazuki&#039;s modus operandi. Nanaka asks why Hazuki orchestrated everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki admits she wanted Konoha, who is introverted, to connect with others and that after the Witch fight, Konoha seemed genuinely happy. She explains her goal was simply to build connections between her group and other Kamihama Magical Girls. Nanaka accepts this and says she&#039;s glad to work with her. Later, Hazuki writes in her notebook that Nanaka is shrewd but fascinating, and she resolves to continue reaching out to other Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ayame&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame encounters Felicia during a Witch fight, and their rivalry quickly escalates when Felicia dismisses Ayame&#039;s challenge to lead the girls to argue and accidentally let the Witch escape. Frustrated by losing to Felicia specifically, Ayame confronts her afterward, and despite Kako&#039;s attempts to mediate, the two insist on settling things through some competition. Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch. Emerging back in the park, Felicia thanks Ayame, and they realize the race was never finished. They resume, but Ayame admits she&#039;s fine with not winning and she has come to accept Felicia as a strong rival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ayamess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ayame Mikuri#Side Story|Ayame&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She became a magical girl thinking her dull life might finally become interesting, but even that eventually grew boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead.

** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help.

Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika muses that her wish was granted and she is now dating her crush, yet she feels deeply unhappy. When Kyubey asks what is wrong, she admits that every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens with unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mayu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mayu is a third-year student at Mizuna Academy who works part-time at the Kamihama Contemporary Art Museum. When she accidentally breaks the museum director&#039;s cup, her boss handles the situation calmly and kindly. After work, she meets her friend Sayuki Fumino outside the museum, and when Sayuki cannot stay, Mayu&#039;s boss offers to accompany her to an exhibit instead. They later go to a cafe, where Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi are also present. Ria grows increasingly annoyed overhearing Mayu&#039;s conversation with her boss, particularly when he hints at wanting to take her somewhere else and praises her cooking. At home that evening, Mayu cooks for her mother and asks if her father would have eaten her cooking, wondering what life would be like if he were still alive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayu Kozue#Side Story|Mayu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at school, Mayu talks with Sayuki about the sword exhibit. She then heads to work, and after her shift ends, her boss mentions his wife and child are away and invites her out to eat. Mayu declines. As she leaves, she forgets her phone, and her boss rushes to return it, asking again about dinner with growing intensity. Ria suddenly appears and bumps into him, yelling at them for flirting and demanding they sit for a lecture. Mayu&#039;s boss says she ruined it and leaves. Ria warns Mayu that her sweet, innocent air attracts older men and that if things continue, his family will fall apart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home that night, Mayu reflects on the day she learned of her father&#039;s death and on Ria&#039;s words. Kyubey appears and offers a contract. Thinking she does not want her boss&#039;s family to suffer the same hardship her family did, Mayu makes her wish: to stop his family from breaking apart. That night, she narrates that her boss transferred to a new job, and she is sure her wish was granted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later at school, Mayu finds boys have started hitting on her. Ria constantly steps in to drive them off. Before Ria can finish telling Mayu to shape up, they both sense a Witch. The girls reveal they are Magical Girls, and they track the Witch to the museum&#039;s special exhibit room. Sayuki suddenly appears and reveals she is also a Magical Girl. During the fight, Mayu notices the Witch only targets Ria. She asks Sayuki to lend her strength and launches a surprise attack, destroying the Witch. Afterward, Mayu thinks that to protect people she must think clearly before acting, and Ria admits Mayu was more reliable than usual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As a child, Sayuki attends an idol performance with her parents, but when the crowd becomes dangerously wild, she is almost squeezed to death, leaving her with lasting trauma.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayuki Fumino#Side Story|Sayuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Growing up in a happy family, Sayuki develops a deep interest in katanas that creates a gap between her and her classmates. Though they respect her passion, she feels lonely without someone to share it with. This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert. Sayuki believes speaking out is important no matter the outcome and swears to protect the kind people who have been kind to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka. Moka thanks Alina for saving her and says she has now made new friends, resolving to devote herself to exterminating witches and admitting she is only a little afraid of them now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Riko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Sis = Miss K. Check what Exedra says&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Years ago, Riko spent her childhood with a cheerful older neighbor girl she called &amp;quot;Sis&amp;quot; while her parents worked long hours at their family bento shop. They grew as close as sisters until Sis became engaged to marry someone far away. When Sis&#039;s father suddenly opposed the match despite approving it before, Riko wished upon Kyubey that everyone would give their blessings to the marriage. Her wish worked, and Sis moved away happily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Riko Chiaki#Side Story|Riko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Riko struggles with loneliness waiting alone at home while her parents work overtime. One night, after they call to say they cannot return until after midnight due to a huge order, years of broken promises finally overwhelm her. She snaps, calls them liars who were never there for her like Sis was, and tells them she hates them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko goes Witch hunting to vent her stress but nearly dies against a stronger Witch. In that moment, despair crushes her and she wishes she had never made her wish so Sis would still be there. Tsukasa, a regular at her family&#039;s shop, finds her crying and listens as Riko confides everything about her feelings and what happened with Sis. Speaking from experience, Tsukasa tells her that separation is no excuse for broken contact and recommends she reach out to Sis directly. Riko messages Sis that night before falling asleep exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sis replies promptly. She explains she wanted to contact Riko but left home after arguing with her father and thought a visit would be awkward. She also reveals she was hospitalized to give birth and only discharged that day, inviting Riko to come see her instead. When Riko asks her parents for permission, expecting them to refuse, they apologize sincerely and grant permission for the trip.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Riko visits Sis with her parents. Sis introduces her husband and newborn daughter, hoping Riko will get along with her child just as they once got along. Riko makes a silent promise to be a good sister to this baby and aims to grow into a fine lady, just like Sis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maria&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Maria bids her parents goodbye for the day. Her mother gives her money for dinner, which Maria insists on keeping only a small portion of, and Maria mentions she will be at her part‑time daycare job after school. On her way to school, she runs into two little girls, one of whom attends the daycare where she works.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the daycare, the children swarm Maria with requests. She notices a boy named Shin‑kun looking down and tries to find out what is wrong, but he does not want to talk. Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work. Maria suggests she spend a day with Shin to reconnect, and Shin’s mother agrees. Maria promises to put together a plan by the weekend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Maria’s classmates tease her about being a widow with a love child, and she plays along before explaining she is helping a mother and son from the daycare. Later she presents her weekend plans to Shin’s mother, who is impressed and begins looking forward to the outing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, Maria goes to the park where she knows Shin and his mother should be. She watches as they struggle to connect: Shin wants to play in a fountain, but his mother cannot explain why he should not, and they end up standing awkwardly. Maria pretends to run into them and decides to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to the playground, where Maria encourages Shin to try a tightrope bridge. When he gets nervous, she prompts his mother to take his hand, and together they cross. After lunch, Shin’s mother gets a call from work asking her to come in on her day off. She agrees, and Shin looks heartbroken. Maria offers to watch Shin until dark, and his mother gratefully accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria takes Shin to various places, and he sadly remarks that his mother is too busy for him. Understanding his loneliness, Maria vows to make the day special. At the aquarium she convinces him to see a show he ends up loving. As evening falls, they stop for takoyaki, and Maria explains that his mother tells him not to eat while walking for good reasons. Shin finally understands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shin’s mother appears, explaining work no longer needs her. She admits she has trouble expressing herself, but Shin overhears and hugs her. They both confess they thought the other did not love them. Maria shares that she was often lonely as a child but still loved her parents, and she tells Shin’s mother she does not need to be perfect. Shin shows his mother the souvenir and the last piece of takoyaki he saved for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As darkness falls, Maria walks home alone. She reflects on whether she could ever be a good mother, remembering Kyubey’s revelation that her Soul Gem is her actual soul and her body is merely a vessel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mel&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mel stays home after her reading warns of lethal danger, but Kanagi dismisses her concerns and drags her to school anyway. On the way, a Witch targets only Mel before escaping, and a possessed car then attempts to run her down. She flees west into the Mizuno region, where Yachiyo saves her. Despite Kanagi&#039;s warnings about discrimination from the West, Yachiyo&#039;s kindness puts her at ease, and Mel accepts her invitation to stay. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she requests to join Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kanagi gives permission. From that day, Mel bonds with Mifuyu, Tsuruno, and Momoko as part of her new team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Despite Yachiyo&#039;s skepticism, Mel coaxes her into a session predicting a career breakthrough.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes. Afterward they visit Mitama, who suggests they train in Endless Mirrors if they plan to remain independent rather than join Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Temari and Mikura commute to school exhausted.

** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Temari is distracted thinking about Witch strategies while Mikura worries about Seira, who had fallen asleep in class from exhaustion. Seira joins them, and Temari suggests they create their own space to escape the stress of magical girl life. Seira proposes forming a school club where they can pursue their hobbies freely, and they agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Seira secures an empty classroom as a provisional club room under the name Historical Research Club. On paper they study history, but in reality it becomes their oasis for reading, watching films, and relaxing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the girls are enjoying their club activities, yet Temari still feels unsettled about not knowing her magic. Mikura reflects that they have been following Temari’s suggestions lately—staying independent, creating the club—but says she will mention it if she notices anything. When Mikura asks what Temari is reading, Temari replies she is still on the same author, and Mikura calls her as unpredictable as ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hotori lies to the teachers and searches the forest. She finds Kyubey, who offers her a contract: any wish in exchange for becoming a magical girl who fights witches. When she finds Rion acting strangely, Kyubey explains Rion has a witch’s kiss. Rion enters a witch’s barrier, and Hotori follows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Months later, Hotori now fights witches with a team. During one battle she freezes and is saved by Rion and Yukika Nanase. Yukika asks about Hotori’s notebook, and Hotori explains she wants to be brave like the sentai heroes. Yukika privately knows the truth from another timeline: the twins’ memories were altered by Rion’s wish, and Hotori’s original wish may have been to become strong enough to protect Rion. Hotori, unaware, continues striving to be a hero.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* At her new school, Sakurako meets Hinano Miyako, who warns her not to mention being a Rumor in class. During introductions, Sakurako announces she is here to learn about human society, is technically zero years old, and has been assigned an age to match her appearance.

Akari was conflicted: happy he fell for her, but sad he fell for a version of her that was not truly her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The bunny Nene died. Akari cried. Haruto came to give her a new Puchi-Usa keychain but hid it when he saw her crying. He comforted her and told her it was okay to cry. Akari loved his kindness and subtle thoughtfulness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari ran into Haruto while patrolling. Haruto was looking for the 16-year-old girl. Akari became jealous and badmouthed her 16-year-old self, calling her suspicious and a liar. Haruto got angry at Akari for speaking ill of someone she did not know. Akari ran away, feeling she was not worthy of him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari hid in an alley. Haruto came looking for her. A Witch appeared, and Haruto was under another Witch&#039;s Kiss. Hotaru appeared and caught Haruto with a pillow before he could jump. Hotaru and Akari defeated the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotaru revealed she had been watching over Akari since the bunny hutch. She told Akari that her kindness was one of her good points. Akari realized the 16-year-old version Haruto fell for was still a part of her. Hotaru encouraged her to apologize properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari, still in her 16-year-old form, lied to Haruto that she had taken Akari under her protection. Haruto was relieved and admitted he was too harsh with Akari. He said he did not want her to become someone who speaks ill of others. Akari apologized to Haruto in person. Haruto forgave her and said he was proud of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari resolved to become a wonderful adult on her own, without magic, and capture Haruto&#039;s heart when she was truly 16. She thanked Hotaru for giving her the push to apologize but Hotaru fell asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ryoko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryoko’s story begins at Suitoku Temple, the Tokime Tribe’s base, which was slated for demolition while officials hid the harm it would cause. Though she is from a neighboring town, Ryoko is bound to the tribe by blood, and she makes a wish to disclose the demolition details—saving the temple. Raised by her grandfather in a strict Buddhist temple, she is told her mother was a hero who saved the country yet died and left her behind. Ryoko grows to resent heroism, viewing it as empty fame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Her cynicism is tested when Moka Megumi tries to save a drowning kitten despite being unable to swim. Ryoko rescues her and asks why; Moka says she simply cannot stand someone dying on her watch. Ryoko does not take her seriously at first, still believing people play the hero only to be seen as one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The turning point comes when her grandfather plays a recording of her mother’s final message. Her mother worked in intelligence, gathering intel on domestic terrorists, and when backup failed to arrive, she acted alone to prevent a war. The revelation shatters Ryoko’s old beliefs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She accepts the Tokime Tribe’s invitation—something she had previously refused. Her grandfather already knows she is a magical girl. Her debut in “A New Beginning” happens when she overhears a monk say the tribe’s members are coming to Kamihama; she goes to see for herself and arrives just in time to witness Touka’s Doppel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kush&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama’s adjuster shop, Karin Misono finds Kush sleeping inside the tent. Mitama explains that Kush cannot stay awake during the day due to her wish: “I just want the morning to never come.” Kush reveals she made her wish because she longed to live in a fantasy world like the one in her favorite book, &#039;Good‑Bye Fable,&#039; and her magical girl outfit resembles the story’s protagonist. Ui Tamaki and Little Kyubey arrive, and Kush briefly attacks Little Kyubey, mistaking him for the Kyubey she despises. Over tea, Mitama notices Kush’s long canine teeth stained red and later receives a message from her sister Mikage about a rumor of a vampire girl in the Hokuyo Mountains. Karin and Kush agree to investigate together, but Kush runs off to her night class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, the two meet up with Riko Chiaki and Ashley Taylor, who are making a horror video about the same rumor. The group searches the mountains at night. Kush can see in the dark and leads them, but she is still sleepy. They find a discarded camera containing a video of Rui Mizuki dropping it and disappearing. When a mysterious sound frightens the others, they accidentally leave Kush behind. Left alone, Kush eats cherry tomatoes and senses a witch. The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one. They also learn that Rui is Kush’s friend; she had filmed Kush entering the barrier before being caught by it. The group later glimpses a white‑haired silhouette and flees, thinking a real vampire might exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley posts a video warning others to stay away from the mountains. At Mitama’s shop, Ui hears about the incident and learns the vampire was just a misunderstanding. Meanwhile, Chika Aoba, whose animal traps and axe cuts the group had found, decides to move her work farther from the trails so she does not frighten anyone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Homura Akemi in Magia Record#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is flooded with more memories of her other self preparing for Walpurgisnacht with allies. She wonders if there might be a real possibility for salvation in this timeline, where no one has to be sacrificed. However, she believes it has nothing to do with her. She breaks out of the labyrinth and the dream ends. Kyubey asks if she was curious about what happened to her other self. Homura says it does not matter; she believes in Madoka&#039;s words that her efforts will not be in vain. A new universe is about to be born, and Homura must protect it for Madoka&#039;s sake. Kyubey states they will both forget Madoka, but Homura is determined to never forget her.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new universe where Witches do not exist, Kyoko is surprised to find Sayaka has disappeared. Mami explains the Law of Cycles causes Magical Girls to disappear when they lose hope. Homura cries as she remembers Madoka, but neither Mami nor Kyoko know who Madoka is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka spend the day together in Kamihama, enjoying each other’s company until they encounter Ria Ami, a model and magical girl who has already defeated the witch they were tracking. Ria invites them to tea and later takes them to the fashion district, where she notices that Homura’s attention never leaves Madoka. Admitting her jealousy, Ria says she wishes someone would look at her the same way, and Homura replies that she will protect Madoka. After Ria departs, Homura thinks that even if Madoka does not realize how cool she is, she will still save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Homura steals weapons from a group called the Soukaihou using her time stop, but she is caught afterward by Meiyui Chun, a magical girl affiliated with the group. Instead of punishing her, Meiyui thanks her for taking weapons that belonged to troublemakers and invites Homura to share mapo tofu. Over the meal, Meiyui learns Homura fights to protect someone precious to her and says she understands, offering her support and suggesting the spicy dish whenever the burden becomes too painful to bear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Homura is practicing her shooting alone when Natsuki Utsuho, a magical girl who cheers for others, offers to encourage her. Natsuki deduces Homura’s time stop ability and gives advice that significantly improves her aim. When Natsuki suggests Homura ask Mami to coach her, Homura calls, and Mami arrives within an hour. Mami uses her ribbons to move within Homura’s time stop during a sparring match, praising her rapid progress afterward. Homura agrees to return to Mitakihara with Mami, reflecting that she will keep moving forward to become a magical girl capable of protecting Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Sayaka arrives in Kamihama City to go shopping with Kyosuke Kamijou, though she insists it is not a date. When she hears a scream, she runs toward it and discovers Hinano Miyako at an empty elementary school. Hinano explains she was bumped on the head while setting up the chemistry lab, and Sayaka decides to help investigate. They find the culprit was a baseball that flew through the window from the baseball club practicing outside. Hinano returns the ball to a child and gives Sayaka a perfume she made, wishing her good luck on her date despite Sayaka&#039;s protests.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later in the shopping district, Emiri Kisaki approaches Sayaka, drawn by the perfume. After realizing Sayaka is not Hinano, Emiri offers to coordinate her wardrobe, claiming to be the &amp;quot;Cutest in the World.&amp;quot; Sayaka learns Emiri is also a magical girl but remains unsatisfied with the outfit suggestions, explaining the person she likes does not care about appearances. Emiri takes her to the top of a tower, where they view the city at night. Sayaka thanks her before heading to the train station, reflecting that her love is supported by the magical girls of Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the outing with Kyosuke arrives. After buying a CD, Kyosuke messages that his train is delayed. Sayaka fights a Witch she senses and meets Kokoro Awane, defeating it together. With time to spare, Kokoro invites her for tea. Sayaka shares that she became a magical girl to heal someone she loves, and Kokoro reveals she wished to bring her family together. Though problems remain, Kokoro believes she can unite them through her own power, and Sayaka finds strength in her words. When Kyosuke is about to arrive, Kokoro encourages her, and Sayaka runs to the station, feeling it will be a good day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mami&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day in Kamihama, Mami saves Kanoko Yayoi from familiars, and Kanoko explains her dream is to become a fashion designer.

* On a later day, Mami is approached at a cafe by Rika Ayano, who admires her fighting style and asks to be friends. They spend the day shopping and at an arcade, and Mami admits she has not enjoyed herself like this in a while. Rika reminds Mami of Kyoko Sakura, and Mami reflects on her friendships in Mitakihara. They exchange contact information and agree to hang out again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, after Mami fights off familiars, Nanaka Tokiwa confronts her, having heard rumors about the strongest Magical Girl from Mitakihara. Nanaka wants to team up or fight her, and Akira Shinobu arrives, also eager to challenge Mami based on exaggerated rumors. Mami agrees to fight them on one condition: they have tea with her first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kyoko arrives in Kamihama City and encounters Ren Isuzu fighting a familiar. She stops Ren from killing it, explaining it&#039;s a waste of Grief Seeds, but the familiar escapes.

Kyoko dismisses her but secretly follows, rescuing Ren when the familiar transforms into a witch. She gives Ren the Grief Seed, admitting that helping her didn&#039;t feel as wrong as she expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kyokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura in Magia Record#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When Manaka asks about her relationship with food, Kyoko is reminded of how her wish destroyed her family, but she simply says that eating is living and that she decided to survive no matter what. Kyoko admits she enjoys the cooking and promises to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kyokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura in Magia Record#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When they encounter a witch, Kyoko insists on fighting alone, but Konomi follows and gets injured. Kyoko reluctantly carries her home, where Konomi gives her a nadeshiko flower to match her name. Kyoko later realizes she stuck it in her hair and reflects that she ended up meeting a cute witch despite herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kyokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura in Magia Record#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ultimate&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart. She also finds Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, who were never supposed to become magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Panicking because she cannot prevent magical girls from becoming witches in this universe, Madoka investigates. She discovers the source blocking her intervention originated when the Holy Quintet first visited Kamihama, and she observes how Touka and Nemu—fated to die in every other universe—are alive and plotting with the Magius to lure Walpurgis Night to hatch Eve. Madoka reflects that their plan, if successful, would achieve what she herself accomplished. Unsure whether to intervene, she decides to investigate further and chooses Iroha as her next focal point, since this is the only universe where Iroha contracted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka observes Iroha’s past and finds the singular difference: on a normal day, Iroha took her usual shortcut but accidentally kicked a small pebble, nearly making her late. This tiny butterfly effect led to Iroha contracting and Ui, Nemu, and Touka surviving, derailing the universe’s fate. Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka decides not to interfere, fearing a clash that could destroy the universe. However, she laments that she may have no choice but to trample Iroha’s wish if this universe, now a singularity, threatens the stability of all other universes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* After contracting with Kyubey, Oriko foresees Madoka becoming Kriemhild Gretchen and ending the world. To prevent this, she begins manipulating events and people around her. She uses Yuma Chitose as a distraction to keep Kyubey away from Madoka, then later convinces Yuma to contract by claiming Kyoko is in danger. Oriko also recruits Kirika Kure as her pawn. When Kirika kills another magical girl, Oriko decides to use the murders to further distract Kyubey from Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Oriko Mikuni in Magia Record#Side Story|Oriko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Oriko has another vision revealing that Madoka is not in Mitakihara but somewhere else entirely. She witnesses a spatial distortion connecting Mitakihara to Kamihama City and begins to suspect Kamihama might hold the key to changing the future. Oriko sends Kirika to Kamihama under the pretense of buying tea, instructing her to gather information from Mami and other magical girls there. She then takes Yuma to Kamihama herself, leaving her inside a witch barrier knowing Kyoko will come to rescue her. While exploring Kamihama for answers, Oriko nearly dies inside a powerful witch barrier and realizes she needs Kirika&#039;s help to continue. Kirika eventually returns home safely, reporting that Mami and Kyoko are also investigating Kamihama and that the city has an unusually high number of witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kyoko accidentally destroys her shopping bag, enraging Kirika. Shizuku Hozumi intervenes, allowing Mami and Kyoko to escape through a portal.

Eventually, Asuka, Sasara, Hinano, and Emiri help her, and the shop is cleaned perfectly. She gets the idea of holding a party from Momoko, Kaede, and Rena, who also plan to do something for Mitama as thanks.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Kanagi visits, and Mitama asks her about New Year events and decorations. She decides to decorate her store, but Kanagi warns her about the price and advises her to do DIY decorations instead. Mitama accepts the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi and Konomi visit Mitama with already-made decorations. Some are extras from Kanagi&#039;s maid cafe, and Konomi is experienced with making such decorations from her flower shop. The three of them make many beautiful decorations and set them up at the store.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitama realizes she has no plans for holding a party and no one is visiting. Just as she is feeling lost, the Mikazuki Villa team visits, bringing a beautiful kimono and New Year&#039;s food. They say it is their way to thank Mitama for her help. With Yachiyo&#039;s help, Mitama puts on the kimono and is touched by their actions. Momoko, Kaede, Rena, Asuka, and Sasara also visit. The kimono was chosen by everyone for Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;
** They have a great time, and Mitama is greatly touched. Although she feels a little lonely when everyone returns home, she is filled with warmth and happiness and thinks this will be a great year for everyone.&lt;br /&gt;

* Ryoko is surprised Shizuka has never eaten soba on New Year&#039;s Eve. Shizuka becomes curious and considers attending a soba-making workshop. Chiharu and Sunao arrive wearing new haregi. Shizuka reveals she does not have a haregi but has a special outfit for a New Year&#039;s ceremony. She offers to show everyone.&lt;br /&gt;
* A package arrives with Shizuka&#039;s ceremonial outfit. She tries it on but discovers it has become highwater—too short to properly cover her. The outfit also has moth holes. She panics, worried she cannot perform the ritual. Chiharu remembers Kanoko is known for altering Magical Girl outfits. Shizuka decides to visit Kanoko.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka finds Kanoko at school with Sana, Tsumugi, and Manaka. Kanoko agrees to help. At Manaka&#039;s restaurant, they discuss design options. Kanoko suggests adding colorful mushroom lace and appliques. Sana suggests cat lace. Tsumugi suggests adding &amp;quot;TOKIME&amp;quot; on the back. Everyone is excited, but Manaka later sees the design and is horrified. She tells Shizuka it is inappropriate for a ceremonial outfit. Shizuka agrees it is too ostentatious.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana suggests asking Mifuyu, whose family runs a kimono shop. Mifuyu cannot help because her craftsman is ill, but she suggests asking Mitama, the Coordinator.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka visits Mitama. Mitama performs a Coordination, altering Shizuka&#039;s outfit to match her imagination of the traditional ceremonial costume. Shizuka is amazed by the result and feels confident and resolved.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka returns home. Chiharu and Sunao reveal they secretly learned to make New Year&#039;s Eve soba as a gift for her. They serve it to her. Shizuka is deeply touched and thanks them.

===Iroha &amp;amp; Ui&#039;s Shrine Maiden Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno are being lazy, still treating it like New Year&#039;s. Yachiyo scolds them. Iroha and Ui feel anxious about the upcoming school semester but realize they have forgotten something important. Yachiyo suggests it might be cleaning. Iroha and Ui remember they need to clean their house in Takarazaki. The group agrees to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha &amp;amp; Ui (Shrine Maiden)#Side Story|Iroha &amp;amp; Ui&#039;s Shrine Maiden Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the house, they clean together. Felicia finds a photo album. Everyone looks through pictures of Iroha and Ui as children. They see photos from Ui&#039;s birthday party at the hospital, a Christmas when they had a flour snowball fight, and other memories. The girls tease Iroha for being a dork, and Iroha gets embarrassed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After cleaning, they take a break. Ui wants to have a party at the house, which has always been a dream of hers since she was hospitalized for so long. Iroha agrees. They buy cakes and cookies from a nearby pastry shop. Back at the house, they hold a small party. Yachiyo is worried about the cost, but Iroha says she and Ui paid with their allowance. They toast to everyone&#039;s help with cleaning. Felicia accidentally spills juice, and they laugh. As evening falls, they return to Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Ui receive a New Year&#039;s card from their parents overseas. They want to send something back but cannot decide how. Tsuruno and Felicia are watching a comedy show about an elderly couple sending video messages to their children. This gives Iroha and Ui the idea to record a video message for their parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They film their first video, but Yachiyo says it is too ordinary. Sana suggests making it more unique. Ui wants to introduce everyone at Mikazuki Villa to their parents. Iroha agrees. They try filming again with a script, but the takes go poorly—Yachiyo overthinks her cooking scene, Felicia struggles to tutor Ui, and Tsuruno is late. Ui suggests they abandon the script and just be themselves. They record a video of their daily life together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the video, Iroha and Ui perform a shrine maiden&#039;s dance they learned from helping at a shrine over New Year&#039;s. They tell their parents not to worry and wish them luck with work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s parents watch the video overseas. They are moved by seeing their daughters having so much fun. The father decides they will return to Japan this year to see their daughters in person. Iroha hopes her mother can see their shrine maiden dance next year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* After Mitakihara City’s school closing ceremony, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura walk out together. Sayaka is glad the term is over, Madoka is excited, and Homura admits she will feel lonely without seeing them every day. Sayaka ruffles her hair and says they can still meet over break, whether hunting witches or hanging out. Madoka suggests visiting Mizuna Shrine in Kamihama for New Year’s to draw “Ultimate Fortunes.” Sayaka has other plans but encourages them to go together. After she leaves, Madoka asks Homura if she knows how to put on formal wear. Homura does not, so Madoka invites her to a kimono‑dressing class she found, saying she wanted the two of them to dress up with Sayaka but lacked the courage to go alone. Homura agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class, the instructor dresses them first; Madoka thinks Homura looks beautiful, and Homura calls Madoka cute. When the actual lesson begins, Madoka struggles badly and trips, while Homura learns quickly enough that the instructor says she will have no trouble. Madoka takes a break outside, feeling useless. Sayaka happens by and asks why she wanted to dress up in the first place - to have fun. Sayaka tells her not to overthink; even if she makes mistakes, she will still have the memories. Encouraged, Madoka returns and finally manages to dress herself after another trip.&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year’s Day, both have their formal wear put on at a store. They joke that the class was interesting but not very useful for the real occasion. They take lots of pictures to show Sayaka, then wish each other a happy new year and go to Mizuna Shrine to draw fortunes. Madoka hopes everyone has a lucky year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka find themselves trapped in a strange dream—a life-sized board game set across Kamihama City. They must reach the goal by following the game&#039;s rules. There are no Familiars or attempts to harm them, so Homura suspects it is accidental mischief rather than a trap. They roll dice to move between squares and complete missions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Kimono)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;First Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They arrive at a shopping center. The mission is to deliver lost items from the New Year&#039;s sale to the Information Desk. They meet Aimi, who found a plain notebook with no name. Aimi worries it is someone&#039;s secret fantasy diary and does not want to read it. They take it to the Information Desk and complete the mission. Aimi mentions she is shopping for materials to knit a scarf or gloves for a boy named Hayato.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** They roll again and move to a new square. The mission is to reunite two sisters who failed to meet. They find Tsukasa waiting for her twin Tsukuyo. Tsukuyo forgot her phone and cannot remember the meeting spot. Madoka and Homura offer to find Tsukuyo. They find her, but Tsukasa has wandered off while waiting. The sisters fail to meet, and Homura and Madoka lose three turns. They eventually reach the Mizuna Shrine goal, but the game says they have not met the goal conditions and sends them back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Second Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They are back at the beginning, wearing their kimonos. They see their past selves from the first loop. The same mission appears—reunite the twins. They meet Tsukasa again, who remembers them from before and is confused by their kimono change. Madoka tells Tsukasa where Tsukuyo is, but Tsukasa runs off before Madoka can explain she should wait. They try to find Tsukasa but fail. The mission fails again, and they are sent back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Third Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes: buy a lucky bag costing one million Magica. They search for a store and take a break at a cafe. They see Ria being interviewed and overhear a boy named Hayato saying he needs a warmer scarf. They find Kokoro and Masara, who lead them to a stationery lucky bag. Kokoro mentions Tsukasa is still looking for Tsukuyo. Madoka wants to help Tsukasa, and Homura agrees. They find Tsukuyo, who has been wandering and dropped something important. They learn Tsukuyo dropped her exchange diary with Tsukasa—the same notebook Aimi found. The mission completes, but they are sent back to the start again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes again: help a child who lost something. They find Tsukuyo waiting. She dropped the exchange diary. Homura and Madoka take her to the Information Desk to reclaim it. Madoka remembers Tsukasa was last seen near a specific area. They wait there and finally reunite the twins. They also tell Aimi that Hayato wants a warm scarf. Everyone ends up happy. Homura and Madoka reach the goal without regrets. Homura reflects that she does not want the dream to last longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka learns the meaning of &amp;quot;When winter comes, spring isn&#039;t far behind&amp;quot; at the end of December. Just before New Year&#039;s Eve, Madoka asks if anyone has plans for the holiday. Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko and Nagisa meet the teacher and children at the park. The kids immediately recognize Kyoko, so the pair double down on the movie lie. The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the performance, Kyoko and Sayaka use quick‑change costumes while Nagisa sneaks discarded clothes off set. The children are awed by the glowing weapons and effects, explained with lighting tricks and soap bubbles. After the class leaves, the group reviews the footage and decides to keep a copy. Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko returns the props to Sayuki, then visits an aquarium to pass time. As she leaves, she spots the same kindergarteners, detects a witch, and rushes to fight it. She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She is hunting for discounted Valentine&#039;s chocolate. She visits Sugar Plum but finds the chocolate coins sold out. She runs into Kyoko. They keep encountering each other at multiple stores and realize they are both after the same Valentine&#039;s Day exclusive Pink Tapir chocolate coins.

** At the Pink Tapir station store, a clerk informs them the sale has moved to a new outlet location and gives them a map. On the way, a delivery truck carrying the chocolate coins is possessed by a Witch&#039;s Kiss and goes on a rampage. Nagisa and Kyoko chase it, jump onto the truck, and enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Nagisa uses her forbidden technique to defeat the Witch. The truck and other vehicles are unharmed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the outlet store and buy the chocolate coins. Nagisa reflects on her memory of eating Pink Tapir chocolate coins for the first time at a hospital charity event when her mother was sick. She wonders if this universe&#039;s Nagisa would have had the same experience. She and Kyoko hurry to Mami&#039;s chocolate party. Kyoko reveals she bought a chocolate cake from Sugar Plum for everyone. Nagisa shares her pink chocolate coins. Mami is happy they are getting along. The next day, the chocolate hunt continues. At the outlet store, Ms. Saotome buys chocolate coins for a hospital charity event, continuing the tradition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede, Rena, and Momoko have picked out new swimsuits. Momoko could not buy one because she spent her allowance on a concert tour. They decide to go to the beach together. Kaede mentions that Mikazuki Villa is renting a lodge for a study camp. Rena asks Yachiyo if they can join. Yachiyo agrees. They arrive at the lodge. Yachiyo announces that everyone must complete ten pages of homework per subject per day before they can play.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rena &amp;amp; Kaede (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena negotiates with Yachiyo: if they can finish all three days&#039; worth of homework in one day, they can play at the beach tomorrow. Everyone agrees. They study hard together. Rena suggests a reward system to stay motivated. They shout encouragement like at an idol concert. Yachiyo and Momoko help with difficult problems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By evening, everyone has met their quota. Rena and Kaede rush to the beach. But Rena has eaten too much chocolate and feels bloated. She is embarrassed and refuses to go swimming. She goes to bed early.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rena, Kaede, and Momoko finally play at the beach. Mitama, Kanagi, and Mifuyu visit. Mitama has brought homemade rice balls as a reward. To decide who gets them, they hold a fishing contest. Rena and Kaede catch a pufferfish but come in second place. Kanagi wins first place and gets stuck with Mitama&#039;s cooking. Mifuyu is affected first. Rena and Kaede eat the remaining Mitama musubi and feel sick. They rest for the rest of the afternoon. Yachiyo goes shopping alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Rena and Kaede notice Yachiyo acting strange. They follow her and find her with fireworks. Yachiyo admits she bought them for everyone but felt too shy to ask. Rena and Kaede insist on setting them off together. They gather everyone. The group enjoys fireworks on the beach. Rena and Kaede stay up late playing with the leftovers. Momoko reflects on how much they have changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They wake up past noon. There is only an hour before the bus leaves. They quickly change into swimsuits and race to the beach. Rena loses and buys everyone juice. They enjoy a brief swim before heading home. Kaede says she is glad she came to the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama asks Momoko to be her partner for the Beachside Perfect Pair Contest. The prizes include a scallop BBQ, Candy World tickets for Mikage, and a giant stuffed bunny Rena and Kaede would love. Momoko agrees, and Mitama immediately drags her out shopping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They browse swimsuits, but Mitama insists on choosing thoughtfully rather than buying on a whim. They separate briefly, and Mitama runs into Mikage, deflecting questions about what she’s doing. Momoko later admits she also had to make excuses after running into Rena and Kaede. Instead of buying swimsuits, Mitama brings Momoko back for an adjustment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the adjustment, they emerge in new swimsuits—Momoko’s tailored perfectly to her tastes, leaving her flustered but secretly pleased. Mitama teases her and admits she’s nervous but excited.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On contest day, Mitama and Momoko play on the beach. They learn the contest requires performing a shared beach memory with chemistry. They plan to tell the story of Mitama’s deserted island ordeal while Momoko adds her side of worrying. While playing, they fight a Witch together—the first time Mitama has teamed up with someone—then run straight into Rena, Kaede, and Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They win by performing the events of the day instead of their planned story. Rena claims the stuffed bunny, and Mikage gets the Candy World tickets, immediately inviting Mitama. Apologies are exchanged, and the others ask for no more secrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, while Mitama and Momoko clean up, Rena and Kaede take Mikage to get drinks. A girl from Mitama’s past confronts her: the one Mitama accidentally shoved down the stairs years ago. A crowd gathers, muttering rumors, but Momoko defends Mitama and the crowd disperses. The girl realizes it was an accident and offers to help clear Mitama’s name, but Mitama declines, saying she no longer needs it because she has someone who believes in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka arrives at a resort with her friends, carrying her mother’s challenge to do something she can only do now. After rescuing an old woman’s hat from the sea, she learns the hat was a gift from the woman’s daughter, Himari.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group spends the day swimming, building a sandcastle, and splitting into smaller activities. While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The girls complete the rally together, with the final photo taken at a sunflower field. That evening, a storm cancels the flower tour, but the photographer invites them to meet the next morning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the photographer leads them to a hidden pond where barringtonia blossoms float. She reveals this was the special place she and Himari had planned to visit. Madoka recognizes Himari’s name and, with her friends’ help, finds the old woman from the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The old woman and the photographer meet; the photographer confesses her guilt over their childhood fight, but the woman explains Himari never mentioned any quarrel—her illness suddenly worsened that day. The two women reconcile, and both thank Madoka for bringing them together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond. Madoka reflects that the thing she could only do here was to reunite the two women and give them peace. Her friends call her for one last swim, and she runs off to join them, already thinking of returning to the island someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story and Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
It has two versions I made, assimilate them if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomuradsSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At registration, Mitama announces all participants must wear swimwear, offering to transform their outfits for free. Homura is surprisingly excited, and Sayaka gets roped into wearing a ridiculous mushroom‑mermaid costume designed by Kanoko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many familiar magical girls attend as participants or catering staff. Hazuki reveals her hatred of worms, Konoha faints from watching bait wriggle, and various mishaps begin piling up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka in her costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The non‑waterproof suit causes Sayaka to be electrocuted by its built‑in fan, but her Doppel activates and saves her. The Doppel drags Yachiyo into the water, and Yachiyo begins water‑skiing using her fishing rod while being pulled around.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura manages to fish up the Doppel and wins the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other&#039;s backs. Homura happily agrees, ending the day on a warm note.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Homura confronts her Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying summer and relying on Madoka’s kindness. The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurads&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They participate in an accessory-making workshop using star sand. Inside the aquarium, they meet Ashley, an exchange student from the United States, and Riko.

** After parting ways with Ashley and Riko, Sayaka wants to visit a CD store. She hopes to find rare CDs for Kyosuke. At the store, she reaches for the same CD as a woman.

They exchange contact information. Sayaka mentions the upcoming flea market.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while waiting, Nagisa and Riko play with water guns. Sayaka&#039;s group relaxes on the beach. Madoka and Homura find Sayaka&#039;s copy in Mirrors. The copy lures them into a trap, but they manage to get the CD list from her and escape. They send it to Sayaka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring.

Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;

===Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Momoko Togame (Sanctified)#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi meet again. Mitama shares her realization: her grief has ended. She now wants to make amends and carve a new future for Kamihama. They discuss ideas for the student conference. Kanagi suggests a sports festival. Mitama suggests a festival with food stalls. They joke about romance and love interests. Mitama feels lighter and ready to move forward. She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at the Wings of Magius, Alina asks Nemu to create a rumor for her. She will let it grow, then take it into herself and use it to achieve her greatest goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Touka and Nemu separately sneak to Ui’s room to leave apology notes. They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They first visit Mitama’s shop, where they meet Maria and Konomi. Mikage hands out sweets, crediting Lavi’s teaching, and Mitama permits them to visit the Mikazuki girls after receiving a cake. At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the real world, Tsuruno gives gelato to Ui and Felicia. Ui is absorbed in playing a game called &amp;quot;Little Vacation&amp;quot; on Tsuruno&#039;s phone. The game follows Tsuruno and Felicia as Reindeer Santas traveling to reach the End of the World and the Wishing Star.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia (Special Delivery)#Side Story|Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno uses the Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a hint: &amp;quot;The key is something you don&#039;t know the importance of until it&#039;s gone. This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The girls encourage Tsuruno and Felicia to leave since they were not originally trapped. Tsuruno and Felicia walk out easily. They promise to return once they find a way to free everyone. They leave, having failed to deliver smiles for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Town of Miraculous ☆ Prestidigitations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the next town. They meet Mitama, a magician performing tricks, and twins Rion and Hotori. Mitama attempts to teleport Hotori but accidentally duplicates her. There are now two Hotoris. Tsuruno and Felicia try to help. The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win. The duplicates are left behind. The single Tsuruno who lost is left alone without Reindeer-san #2 or the Okamochi Box. She decides to continue traveling anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; The three Tsurunos reunite and discuss the hints from the Okamochi Box. They realize &amp;quot;three heads are better than one&amp;quot; refers to them working together to solve the Maze Town puzzle. They also realize the key in Maze Town was a &amp;quot;smile&amp;quot;—something Ren had lost along the way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game. Game Tsuruno is surprised, saying the actual people probably do not play the game anymore. They celebrate their success and set their sights on the next town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents. Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia return home and ask to hear the full story, so Yachiyo retrieves the scarf from the time capsule where she had hidden it years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Check on the days again to make sure how many days pass. It&#039;s possible it&#039;s all just one day&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami finds herself in a strange white fog, speaking with two other versions of herself. Holy Mami claims she has learned the truth about magical girls from Alina Gray and Touka Satomi and has found a way to save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami has tea with Touka and Alina at a house rented for her by Touka. Mami explains she has not returned to Mitakihara because her priority is releasing magical girls. Touka and Alina offer to lecture her on what she needs to study. Alina grows disturbingly excited discussing van Gogh&#039;s Sunflowers, and Touka lectures at length on mathematics until Alina interrupts. Mami reassures them she will ask for help when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina receives a call from the Amane sisters requesting help with a Witch. Touka asks Mami to assist, explaining she has a lecture to give at noon to recruit skilled magical girls. Mami agrees, reflecting that releasing magical girls requires Grief Seeds, protecting Rumors, and raising Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane waiting for her. They explain the Witch has moved and the Black Feathers are monitoring it. A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren plan for their friends’ Christmas party a week away and promise to spend Christmas Eve together. While looking at options in a magazine, they cannot decide on a place. Ren buys the magazine to think it over, privately hoping to choose somewhere that will make Rika happy, though she doubts whether she truly belongs beside her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ren visits Emiri’s consultation room but finds only Akira and Ria Ami. She explains her dilemma, and Ria takes her around town to evaluate possible locations. They rule out a restaurant, an amusement park, and a romantic cafe, eventually settling on the Minagi Aquarium. Ria is surprised to learn Ren is planning an outing with Rika, not a boyfriend, but Ren leaves feeling confident in her choice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Christmas Eve, Rika attends a party with her school friends. When she mentions she will spend Christmas Eve at the aquarium with a friend, her friends press to join, but Rika refuses. She advises them not to look for boyfriends just to avoid being alone. Later, while walking with her friends, Rika spots Ren chasing after Aimi Eri. She follows and finds Ren comforting Aimi over a misunderstanding involving a boy; the situation resolves without trouble.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Ren waits for Rika, who messages that she overslept with a fever. Ren worries Rika became sick chasing after her the day before. Before she can reply, Aimi finds her, and they go shopping together. Aimi encourages Ren to visit Rika instead of staying apart. Ren goes to Rika’s house, knocks on her window, and insists they spend Christmas together there so Rika can rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They exchange gifts: Ren gives Rika scented candles, having noticed Rika’s interest from a sticky note, and Rika gives Ren a glass candlestick. Rika hopes they can visit the aquarium another time, and Ren leaves happy to have shared Christmas with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, assimilate them if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them.

Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

===A Taste of Hospitality===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - A Taste of Hospitality|A Taste of Hospitality]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko and Ashley help Mitama film a video about her Coordinator services, whre she explains that she adjusts Soul Gems to draw out hidden potential, that she sees memories during adjustments but keeps them confidential, and that she also sells items for Magical Girls. As payment for the video, Riko gives Mitama an origami dog (Mameji) and Ashley gives her blue candy from her home, both of which Mitama puts in a box.&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, Mitama receives many gifts from Magical Girls, including Kokoro, Reira, Mito, Felicia, Ayame, Kako, Yachiyo, Karin, Himika, Rika and Emiri, the last of whom says that when people share their favorite things, it means they want to share what they love with Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama hums happily, which Momoko and Kanagi notice and feel a bad omen. Mitama announces that she wants to share what she loves with everyone and that she plans a party with food that she will cook. She asks Momoko and Kanagi to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin|Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One winter’s day before Christmas, Rika and Ren go shopping together. The town has no Christmas decorations and people seem depressed. They hear a distressed voice and find Mitama, wearing a Santa&#039;s beard and hat, and she introduces herself as a Christmas Spirit. Mitama says her job is to make everyone happy, but the task is too big. She gives Rika and Ren some of her magic, explaining that the magic requires them to be perfectly attuned to each other, and then she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, a swallow Familiar appears, claiming to be Mitama’s pupil and Rika names him Chirpie. Chirpie explains that Mitama saved him when he fell from his nest and gave him magic. He can sense cowardly hearts lacking courage and Rika and Ren must drive out ten cowardly hearts to make the town happy. Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chirpie leads them to Felicia and Sana, who had accidentally smashed a cake and are now arguing about who should apologize to Yachiyo. Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines|Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 13th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mitama is away from her shop, but Tsuruno is there, using the kitchen to make chocolate bonbons with a friend. She plans to surprise everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 14th:&#039;&#039;&#039; On Valentine&#039;s Day, Tsuruno gives beautifully wrapped chocolates to Iroha, Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana and Ui at Mikazuki Villa. Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rise of the Waning Moon===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Rise of the Waning Moon|Rise of the Waning Moon]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day during lunch break, Kanagi goes to Himika’s classroom, telling her she just wanted to see her face, which Himika finds strange.&lt;br /&gt;
** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===Finding Our Formula===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Finding Our Formula|Finding Our Formula]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Hinano and Emiri attend a chemistry event. Hinano is excited to see a chemist who reminds her of the woman she idolized as a child—a tall, long-legged lady who taught fun chemistry experiments. Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;

===Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic|Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls finish dinner. Tsuruno and Felicia complain about going to the same public pool every summer. Yachiyo receives a phone call from a distant relative who runs a hotel. The relative needs help cleaning the hotel pool because the usual staff are sick. Yachiyo hesitates due to her modeling schedule. The girls offer to help. Yachiyo calls back and confirms they will come.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group arrives at the hotel and Yachiyo&#039;s relative, an older woman, greets them warmly. She says she used to hang out with Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river. Tsuruno and Felicia compete to see who can clean faster, inventing names for their techniques. Yachiyo scolds them for being inefficient. They eventually work together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha slips and falls but is not hurt. Felicia sprays Yachiyo with the hose and Yachiyo chases her. After a few hours, they finish cleaning. The relative rewards them with fluffy shaved ice.&lt;br /&gt;
** The pool is now clean and filled with water. The girls swim and play. Tsuruno and Felicia bring water guns and spray Yachiyo. Yachiyo chases them and gets out of the pool to walk upstream, eventually catching them. They all have fun.&lt;br /&gt;
** As they leave, the relative thanks them but reveals the pool may not open after all due to unforeseen issues. Everyone is shocked.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic|Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic]]&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls are about to leave when the relative reveals the pool may not open because support staff from the southern islands are delayed by a typhoon. Tsuruno volunteers the group to help until the staff arrives. Yachiyo worries they might cause trouble, but Iroha, Ui, and Sana want to try. They agree to help. Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the next day, the group arrives at the pool for opening day. Yachiyo handles reception. The ticket scanner malfunctions and a line forms. Mitama appears—she had plans with Iroha that were canceled. She offers to help and fixes the scanner by hitting it. The staff member returns and takes over.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama notices Yachiyo has something on her mind and suggests she talk to someone she trusts. Iroha later asks Yachiyo to help with a crowded lunch area. Ui is taking orders with Sana&#039;s invisible help making drinks.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral. Yachiyo admits she was worried about everyone but sees they are doing fine. Iroha tells Yachiyo it is okay to worry because she cares, and they can solve problems together. Iroha notices Yachiyo has been down and offers to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
** A foam machine malfunctions, spewing foam everywhere. A guest slips and falls. The group splits up to clean the foam and help guests. Mitama fixes the machine with a whack. The support staff arrives. The girls finally have time to enjoy the pool.&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models. She does not know what to post and is shy about taking selfies. Iroha suggests posting photos of herself and takes pictures of Yachiyo on a float with the sunset. Yachiyo is embarrassed but agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Tsuruno want a turn on the float. Everyone climbs on, and Mitama takes a group photo just as they all fall into the water. Iroha loves the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the pool photos are popular online. Yachiyo&#039;s manager says going to the pool was a good move. Yachiyo thanks Iroha and says she might take her up on being her photographer again. She sends the group photo to everyone. Iroha says the photo may not be &amp;quot;social media-worthy&amp;quot; but it captures who they are. They agree to go back to the pool again—summer is just getting started.&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsukuyo Amane&#039;s Heartphial Story: She and I, Ever After===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo Amane reflects on her life. She and her sister must have realized they were doing something wrong, but to save each other, it was the only hope they had. She will seek a different path for them to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo dreams of living with her twin sister Tsukasa. She daydreams about leaving home and living with her beloved sister. In class, she studies a story about two people from different backgrounds who run away together. She wishes she could be like the strong female protagonist. After school, she meets Tsukasa at the shrine. They both studied the same story and discuss planning for when they live together. Tsukuyo researches the costs of a two-person household and is shocked by how expensive it is.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo falls asleep while daydreaming about living with Tsukasa. Her grandmother finds her fantasy budget notebook and accuses her of planning to run away with a boy. Her training hours are increased, and her smartphone is confiscated. Tsukuyo is unable to contact Tsukasa. She runs away and ends up at the shrine, but Tsukasa is at school.&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback (Before Magical Girl). Tsukuyo is overworked with club activities and training. She is exhausted and collapses. She wakes up in the hospital with her sister beside her. Tsukuyo remembers how she first met Tsukasa. She was playing her flute at the shrine when she saw a girl who looked just like her. They discovered they were twins, separated at birth. They became close and talked openly with each other for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo too formal and uptight, while Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukuyo was devastated. She received a harsh message from her grandmother, punishing her for being absent without permission. She broke down crying, saying she was not a puppet for her grandmother to order around.&lt;br /&gt;
*On another day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa both collapse and wake up in the hospital. The pediatrician confirms they are twins. They reconcile and make a wish to Kyubey to never again hate each other. They become Magical Girls. They meet at the shrine and agree to leave home together once they graduate high school. Their wishes have come true, but their environments have not changed. Messages from their families indicate misunderstandings have been cleared, and they decide to part for the day.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day after the reconciliation, Tsukuyo returns home, but life becomes stricter. She continues her oppressive training. Mifuyu contacts her about something important regarding Magical Girls. Tsukuyo meets Mifuyu and learns that Magical Girls turn into Witches. She is horrified that she and Tsukasa will become Witches. She produces a Doppel. Mifuyu explains that the Wings of the Magius are working to save Magical Girls and asks for Tsukuyo&#039;s help. Tsukuyo agrees to discuss it with Tsukasa.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Tsukasa tells Tsukuyo she does not know the details of how the Magius intend to save them. She shares the full ending of the story they studied—the couple takes their own lives because they fear their love will fade. Tsukasa suggests they do the same. Tsukuyo is horrified but realizes they have no other way out.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night they decide to die, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa meet at the shrine. They decide to destroy their Soul Gems together. They hold hands and count to three. Mifuyu arrives in time to stop them. She begs them to live and fight for their freedom together. She says the Wings of the Magius may be small, but they will grow. Tsukasa and Tsukuyo agree to join the Wings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Return to the present) Tsukuyo reflects on how much has happened. She knows she must always be there to support Tsukasa, who can be unpredictable. She dreams of their future together—a happy ending where they live together, free from family, regional disputes, and Magical Girls. She knows it may be a long way off, but as long as she has Tsukasa, she believes they will get their happy ending.&lt;br /&gt;

* Tsukasa dreams of living with her twin sister Tsukuyo. In class, she studies a story about two lovers from different social backgrounds who run away together. She wishes she could be like the strong protagonist. After school, she meets Tsukuyo at the shrine. They both studied the same story and discuss planning for when they live together. Tsukasa will handle housework and cooking. She daydreams about their future life together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukasa&#039;s father tells her about an arranged marriage interview. He wants her to marry a boy from Chuo Ward to help dispel the eastern impression that plagues their workshop. Tsukasa refuses and runs away. She ends up at the shrine, but Tsukuyo is at school. She remembers how she first met Tsukuyo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before Magical Girl). Tsukasa is overworked with school, chores, and finances for the workshop. She is exhausted and collapses. She wakes up in the hospital with her sister beside her. Tsukasa remembers how she first met Tsukuyo. She was playing her flute at the shrine when a stranger warned her about Witches. She then saw a girl who looked just like her. They discovered they were twins, separated at birth. They became close and talked about their struggles.&lt;br /&gt;

Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;

** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;

** Kako and Nanaka fought Witches together. Nanaka encouraged Kako and told her she was better suited to being a Magical Girl than Nanaka was. Kako wanted to get stronger. Nanaka wrote a letter confessing her deception and asking Kako to kill her. Kako made up her mind to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka. She returned it unopened, saying it seemed wrong to read something Nanaka only sent by accident. Nanaka smiled and said Kako was dazzling. She said she would try to tell Kako her feelings in person someday.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako thinks Nanaka overestimates her, but she is no longer as scared and helpless as she used to be. She is a Magical Girl who protects the city by Nanaka&#039;s side.&lt;br /&gt;

** Ren dreams she is dead. She cannot see or touch her parents. They mourn her suicide. She never became a Magical Girl and never met Rika. She watches her friends go to the teddy bear exhibition without her. She is invisible. She feels awful and wants to go back to the land of the living. She remembers the colored pencil with the different name—that must be the proof of another world. She holds it and wishes to live. She wakes up. It was all a dream. Rika messages her to join everyone for snacks. Ren goes to meet them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren finishes her bear story. The gatekeeper asks the bear cub if she has any regrets. The bear cub says yes. She wishes to leave behind her journal, filled with entries about the Spirit of Light and all the sparkles she showed her. The gatekeeper opens the gates. The bear cub does not say goodbye because she knows she will see the Spirit of Light again someday in the World of Light. Ren realizes the bear cub is reborn, just like she was when she met Rika and her friends. She can live in a world full of color.&lt;br /&gt;

===Konoha Shizumi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Shuffled Truffles Trouble===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoha Shizumi reflects on her life. Azalea House was a place that reminded her of the joy of life and brought color back into her gray world. She refused to lose it, even if she had to risk her life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Childhood) Konoha&#039;s father was a businessman whose business went bankrupt after she was born. He died from stress, and her mother passed away soon after. Konoha was sent to an orphanage called Azalea House. Her heart was frozen, but the director&#039;s kindness slowly brought color back to her world. She met Hazuki and Ayame there. They became sisters bound by a bond stronger than blood. The director treated them like family.&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before becoming Magical Girls) Azalea House was to be torn down due to unknown powerful forces. The stress of it claimed the director&#039;s life. Kyubey appeared and offered contracts. Konoha wanted to become a Magical Girl alone to protect her sisters, but they insisted on joining her. They made their wishes: Konoha wished for the Azalea House to last forever. Hazuki wished to eliminate all causes that threatened it. Ayame wished for everyone at the orphanage to forget they were ever there. They left Azalea House and have lived together ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Konoha visits Azalea House with Hazuki and Ayame. She reflects on their journey. They part ways, and Konoha goes to the department store sale to buy truffles. She bumps into Kanoko and swaps bags by accident. She ends up with chocolate truffles instead of mushroom ones. Mitama messages Kanoko, who replies with emojis indicating she is near the Kamihama University Affiliated School. Konoha and Mitama go to find her.&lt;br /&gt;
** They find Kanoko chasing a bus. She left her bag on the bus. They catch up to the bus, but the bag is already gone. Mitama contacts Asuka, who picked up the bag for safekeeping. They go to the dojo where Asuka teaches. Asuka reveals she bumped into Momoko at a convenience store and may have switched bags again. Mitama tries to contact Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, but none of them answer. They fear the team may have encountered a strong Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha and Asuka search for Momoko&#039;s team. They enter a Labyrinth and find Nanaka&#039;s team struggling against a Witch. They help defeat it. Nanaka&#039;s team has not seen Momoko. Everyone fears the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to Mitama&#039;s shop and Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive unharmed. They had turned off their phones to watch a movie. Momoko reveals she left the bag at Blossom. Konoha goes to Blossom and retrieves her truffles. She also receives free flowers because today is a special anniversary.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha explains to Mitama that today is the anniversary of the day the three sisters left Azalea House and started living together. She wants to make it a special day for Ayame and Hazuki.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha returns home. She prepares a truffle dinner with Hazuki and Ayame. They cook together, sharing happiness as a family. Konoha asks them to always stick together. They promise to always be together, hands held tight, just the three of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hazuki Yusa&#039;s Heartphial Story: The Distance Between Us===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki Yusa reflects on her life. Azalea House was the place that taught her to smile again, the place that rescued her from the torment she covered up with a false grin. She was not going to lose it, no matter what it took.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A teacher asks Hazuki to deliver worksheets to Nanaka. Hazuki is reluctant because Konoha distrusts Nanaka after an incident where Nanaka&#039;s team tricked them into fighting a powerful Witch. Hazuki delivers the worksheets. Nanaka suggests they should share information without secrets. Hazuki agrees to try building trust, but she remains wary.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki arrives at the school camp. She is assigned to orienteering setup with Nanaka. They are paired together by random draw. They work through checkpoints. The map notes are outdated, and they get lost. It starts raining heavily.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the storm, the rope bridge collapses due to the rain. Hazuki and Nanaka cannot cross the river. They find an old shack for shelter. They huddle together for warmth. Hazuki shares her past: her parents died in an accident when she was young. She was shuffled between relatives until she ended up at Azalea House. She learned to hide her fear behind a smile. The director taught her to smile when her heart truly felt it. She met Konoha and Ayame there. They became family. They made wishes to protect Azalea House and left to live together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka listens quietly. She says she finally understands Hazuki&#039;s true self. Nanaka grows pale and cold. Hazuki worries she might collapse. Hazuki insists they huddle closer. Nanaka admits she is cold. They wait together.&lt;br /&gt;
** The rain stops. Akira and others find them at the shack. They are taken back to camp. The nurse checks them. Hazuki and Nanaka are cleared to stay. Nanaka is grateful for Hazuki&#039;s help.

&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame writes a letter to the Director, the late head of Azalea House. She explains that she, Konoha, and Hazuki are Magical Girls now. Konoha warns Ayame to stay away from Nanaka&#039;s team after a recent incident. Ayame agrees but secretly plans to meet up with Kako anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayame and Kako meet in secret. They are friends but cannot openly hang out because their teams do not get along. Ayame complains about the situation. Kako shows her a book about ocean adventures. Ayame becomes curious about whether the ocean boils when the sun sets. They decide to go to the beach together to find out.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame and Kako take a train and a bus toward the beach. Ayame is excited. Konoha calls and texts repeatedly, but Ayame ignores her. They get off the bus when it breaks down and take a detour. They discover a field of sunflowers. They share cup noodles together. Ayame turns off her phone. Kako also ignores Nanaka&#039;s messages to focus on their adventure. They finally reach the beach and watch the sunset together. Ayame still cannot tell if the ocean boils, but she is happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback - Azalea House) Ayame dreams of the Director. She remembers the day Azalea House was going to be torn down. The Director had already passed away. Konoha, Hazuki, and Ayame met Kyubey and decided to become Magical Girls. Ayame wished for Azalea House to stay open forever. Konoha wished to eliminate all threats to it. They decided on a third wish: to have everyone at Azalea House forget they were ever there. They left the orphanage and started living together. Ayame remembers Konoha&#039;s promise that they would always be together. She reflects on her conflict with Konoha over her friendship with Kako. She wishes the Director could tell her what to do.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame wakes up at Kako&#039;s relatives&#039; house. Konoha has arrived. She found Ayame by asking Nanaka to track Kako&#039;s location. Ayame refuses to go home, saying Konoha has been stifling her. She promises to tell Konoha where she is next time. Konoha apologizes. She did not realize how her words were making Ayame feel. She promises to talk things through with Hazuki and Ayame. Kako is relieved. Ayame treasures the memory of her adventure. She promises never to forget it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Masara Kagami&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Flame Kindled in the Vastness===&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara Kagami reflects on her life. After becoming a Magical Girl, not much felt dramatically different. But encounters and experiences since have changed her. She thinks her dull and pointless life has just gotten a little more colorful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara finds the world boring. She is good at swimming but lacks passion. Kyubey appears and offers her any wish. She wishes for a load of money and becomes a Magical Girl. She fights Witches, and the excitement fades quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara meets Kokoro Awane in a Labyrinth. Kokoro is uncomfortable with Masara&#039;s reckless fighting and tells her to protect herself more. Masara says she does not care if she dies. Kokoro says her family would care. Masara questions why Kokoro blames herself for her family&#039;s problems. Kokoro asks if they can stick together. Masara agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a Witch hunt, they&#039;re attacked by a Witch and Masara takes a hit to protect Kokoro. She gets a scar. She starts avoiding Kokoro because she does not understand her feelings. Mitama explains that Masara fears seeing Kokoro get hurt, so she avoids her to prevent that pain. Masara realizes she fears losing Kokoro, so they reconcile.&lt;br /&gt;
* The swim club announces the relay team. Masara is chosen but declines, saying she is not good at team sports. Koshino, who has always been second to Masara, is chosen as her replacement. Koshino vows to beat Masara&#039;s record.&lt;br /&gt;
* While Kokoro and Masara go on patrol, they see Koshino training alone after school hours. Koshino tells Masara she beat her personal record. Masara is puzzled by Koshino&#039;s passion.&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Masara passes Koshino training again. They start talking about her times regularly. Kokoro notes that Koshino will never catch up to Masara&#039;s times. Masara wonders what drives Koshino.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days before the competition, Koshino beats Masara&#039;s record once. The swim club captain praises her. Masara feels something but cannot identify it. She is not annoyed. She does not know what she feels.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day before the competition, Koshino has an accident and cannot compete. Masara agrees to take her place. She is surprised by her own motivation. Kokoro notices the change.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the competition, Masara swims well. Her team finishes second, but she was in the lead when passing the baton. Koshino comes to watch and thanks Masara for doing the race for her. Kokoro says Masara has changed. Masara decides she wants to keep swimming a while longer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika Ayano&#039;s Heartphial Story: Haunting Love, Haunting Mistake===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika Ayano reflects on her life. She does not want to feel like she became a Magical Girl for nothing. She got to see what dating is like and made loads of friends. But sins do not wash away so easily. That is the price you pay for a miracle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback, but the entirety seems like mostly a flashback) Kyubey offers Rika any wish in exchange for becoming a Magical Girl. Hinano warns her not to do it, but Rika ignores the advice. She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Riko Chiaki&#039;s Heartphial Story: Worked Out with a Woof===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki reflects on her life. Even though her mom and dad were hardly home because of work, she never felt lonely as long as Miss K was around. She cared about her so much that she just wanted to help her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback) Riko helps out at her parents&#039; bento store. She is close with Miss K, the daughter of the hardware store owner next door. Miss K has always been like a big sister to her. Miss K cries to Riko that her father opposes her marriage because he does not want her to move far away. Riko wishes to Kyubey for Miss K&#039;s marriage to be accepted. She becomes a Magical Girl. Miss K gets married and moves away. Riko misses her but does not regret her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Riko goes filming with Ashley. She tells Ashley about Miss K. She explains that Miss K&#039;s father never fully accepted the marriage, and they have not made up. Riko receives a message from Miss K saying she was in the hospital because she was pregnant. She invites Riko to visit her new house. Riko goes and meets the baby. Miss K asks Riko to be friends with her child. Riko becomes like a big sister to the baby. She feels happy that her wish came true but is sad Miss K and her father never reconciled.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko walks Mameji and sees Miss K&#039;s father standing outside the hardware store, looking sad. She wonders what is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley advises Riko to ask Miss K directly if she wants to make up with her father. Riko texts Miss K and asks to meet. Miss K replies that she will come to Riko&#039;s town instead. Riko is excited.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Miss K visits Riko. They talk about her father. Miss K says she wants to make up with him but does not know how. Riko suggests inviting him to meet the baby, giving him a present, or going on a family trip. Miss K doubts any of it will work. They walk to Riko&#039;s store together. They encounter Miss K&#039;s father outside. Riko admits she asked Miss K to come so they could patch things up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Miss K&#039;s father reveals he brought a herbarium to Riko&#039;s store. It was originally meant as a gift for his grandchild, but he could not bring himself to deliver it. Riko realizes Mameji had been guiding her this whole time. Earlier, Mameji had barked at the cake that turned out to be from Miss K&#039;s father. Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky. She realizes she is dying, having protected Yachiyo. She remembers how everyone was fighting for dear life. She wished she were stronger to help them. She is sorry for not being stronger. She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;

Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko notices Ashley seems down. She worries Ashley is overworking herself by vlogging daily and replying to comments late at night. Ashley says it does not feel like work because she loves it. She thanks Riko for being a kind friend. They go out to film another vlog.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley continues vlogging daily. She worries about skipping a day because her followers might unfollow her. She wakes up to find Kumanosuke missing. She panics, feeling like her world is ending. Riko arrives with a bento and finds Ashley crying. Ashley explains she lost Kumanosuke. Riko comforts her and says it is okay to skip a vlog. Ashley admits she has been using followers&#039; comments to fill the hole left by her father&#039;s death. Riko says she understands loss—she misses her sister who moved far away. They decide to search for Kumanosuke.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko suggests Ashley ask her followers for help finding Kumanosuke. During a live stream, a commenter suggests rewatching her previous vlog. Ashley realizes she left Kumanosuke on a chair when she got distracted by a crane machine. They find Kumanosuke on a shelf at the store, dressed in Waloli Gurokawa clothes. Ashley gets him back. She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call|Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wait, You Got It Wrong!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayu Kozue&#039;s most treasured possession is a bear pendant her father carved for her before he died. When a hand-drawn postcard is stolen from the museum where she works, security footage shows her friend Ria at the scene moments later. Mayu cannot reach Ria and suspects a Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~|Wait, You Got It Wrong! / Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While searching for Ria, Mayu encounters Asuka Tatsuki, whose family&#039;s invaluable book of secrets was also stolen. A witness described a blonde girl in a Mizuna uniform—Ria. They find Sayuki Fumino crying over her stolen sword book, then Rena Minami who was bumped by the same girl. At Walnut&#039;s restaurant, Manaka Kurumi accuses Ria of stealing a rice omelet. A Witch barrier appears, and after Mayu and Asuka defeat the Familiars, Ria arrives demanding to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka challenges Ria to a duel over the thefts, and Ria loses. She confesses to something embarrassing, and everyone assumes she means the thefts—but she meant a binder of idol clippings she desperately hopes no one saw. She was only chasing the Witch to recover her own stolen belongings. Relieved, Mayu and Asuka join her. They track and defeat the Witch, recovering most items, but the museum postcard, the dojo book, and Ria&#039;s binder remain missing. They agree to search again tomorrow. That night, Mayu dreams of her father, who tells her material things are destined to break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, thefts continue across the city. Mayu realizes the Witch they defeated was only a Familiar and the real Witch is still out there. She offers her precious pendant as bait to track it. Despite Ria&#039;s protests, Mayu uses it, and they follow the magic trail to the Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After a difficult battle, they recover all stolen items, though Mayu&#039;s pendant is scratched and its chain broken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu is unbothered. She explains that material possessions naturally break, but the memories they hold remain in her heart—a lesson from her father. Asuka and Ria are moved, and Mayu turns to walk home, promptly falls into a lake, and flounders while Ria sighs that she has not changed at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor she calls Miss K. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Miss K with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Miss K&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Miss K to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

===&amp;quot;Let&#039;s hit the Suitoku baths! (Music Collection 1 bonus drama)&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo, Iroha, and Sana prepare a meal. Felicia reluctantly helps. Tsuruno arrives with a flyer for Suitokuyu, a public bathhouse holding an event as part of a shopping district revitalization plan. She invites everyone to go together. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the bathhouse, they read the posted rules. Tsuruno pretends to be a &amp;quot;bathhouse master&amp;quot; and teaches them. Sana becomes embarrassed about being naked in front of everyone. Yachiyo understands her feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Villa. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;
~A Little Break For Us~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===This is The Warmest Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha is going about her day when Sana, Felicia, and Ui present her with a pinwheel and ask her to blow on it. Though confused by their strange behavior, Iroha does as they ask and the girls thank her before quickly scampering off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~#This Is The Warmest Day Login Special|This is The Warmest Day]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts. When Yachiyo asks Iroha&#039;s opinion, Iroha expresses her love for shortcake and suggests they bake one immediately, but Yachiyo insists she wait for the right moment, which will come sooner than she thinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Lavi is shopping when Nayuta finds her to share news about her math test score. They return home where Lavi prepares dinner, and Nayuta discovers Lavi earned perfect scores in every subject, highlighting the gap between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House|The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day while Lavi runs errands, Nayuta confides in Mikage about her fears that Lavi only respects her father and secretly resents serving her. Seeking answers, Nayuta visits Mitama, who suggests that kindness and broad-mindedness are the traits she needs to develop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Nayuta observes how hard Lavi works attending school, studying, handling housework, and fighting witches. Worried she might collapse, Nayuta offers Lavi time off for her upcoming sixteenth birthday and secretly plans a surprise party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later on Lavi&#039;s birthday, Nayuta and Mikage struggle through cleaning the house and preparing a celebration. Their efforts are interrupted when Lavi returns early for lunch, scolds them for the mess, but leaves again at Nayuta&#039;s insistence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Lavi returns that evening, the handmade kusudama falls onto the cake and catches fire. Lavi extinguishes it with water, and Nayuta is left mortified as her surprise party fails spectacularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Nayuta senses lingering coldness from Lavi and struggles to find the right way to apologize. Remembering her father&#039;s example, she decides to catch and cook a fish as an apology gift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day at a fishing center, Nayuta encounters girls from the Tokime clan who teach her how to gut fish. Despite being disturbed by the process, she perseveres and eventually catches the exact fish she wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning home late, Nayuta discovers a threatening letter addressed to Lavi and deduces it must be connected to the serious trouble from Lavi&#039;s hometown. She rushes to the market street with Mikage to protect her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the market street, Nayuta confronts the man speaking with Lavi, declaring herself as Satomi Tasuke&#039;s daughter to intimidate him. The man reveals he is simply a stalker with no connection to Lavi&#039;s past, and when he becomes agitated, Nayuta tackles him unconscious as a crowd applauds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Nayuta presents the cooked fish and apologizes. Lavi admits she was barely angry anymore and thanks Nayuta for protecting her, acknowledging she was just like her father in that moment. Nayuta produces a second kusudama and cake, and this time the celebration succeeds. As they pick confetti from the cake, Lavi quietly says she will continue to admire Nayuta until the final day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune. The Rumor says that if you receive the book and find a drawing of yourself, the sketched event will happen and if you try to stop it, a creature named Ketch drags you into the book. Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One summer morning, Mitama is at her shop and she has set up a small café corner called Hot☆Corner. The cat, Doyle, is especially attached to her lately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery|The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day|Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Rumored Temp Counselor===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

===Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away|Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

Ryoko declares she will save Sakuya by becoming her best friend, and they fight until exhausted. That night, Sakuya dreams of her deceased friend, who thanks her and tells her to move forward. She wakes to find Ryoko collapsed from hunger, and they talk for hours like ordinary friends.

* On the following days, Sakuya returns to normal life by socializing with classmates, sleeping better, and regaining her spirits. Ryoko gains a new goal: to free Sakuya from the things that bind her, once and for all, when the time is right.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls in Kush, who transforms into a vampire and she wins the contest. Natsuki takes second place and Karin takes third place. A commemorative photo is taken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin completes her manga, &amp;quot;The Pumpkin King and the Ghost Servant.&amp;quot; She shows it to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede who praise it, giving it 100 points or more. Kaede appreciates the happy ending. Karin is moved by Kaede&#039;s approval. Manaka arrives with pumpkin pie for a taste test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the Sakae Halloween Festa, Karin arrives at the festival in her Pumpkin King costume. Alina is also present, already dressed as the ghost servant from Karin&#039;s manga. Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head of the executive committee thanks Karin for recommending Alina as the face of the event. Karin reflects on her hope that Alina will one day atone for her sins and reach a happy ending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kamihama Chocolate Girls===&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka, Sunao, and Chiharu look through a Valentine&#039;s Day feature in Kamihama&#039;s free newspaper. Shizuka is embarrassed to see her photo distributed around town, but Chiharu reassures her the photo is cute and the experience gave them a happy memory. They spot a feature on the chocolate shop Shizuka visited and decide to bring all the Tokime girls next time. The newspaper also includes messages from other magical girls offering homemade chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Bittersweet AI Memory#Kamihama Chocolate Girls|Kamihama Chocolate Girls]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage is delighted to see her photo in the newspaper and finds it funny that the article claims she made chocolate with her sister. Mitama suggests it was artistic license. Mikage wonders if she might become famous but worries about sketchy people, and Mitama jokingly offers to beat them up. Mikage asks if they can make real chocolate together, but Mitama needs to go to her coordinator shop. Mikage promises to do things that make her sister smile instead, and Mitama suggests they make Valentine&#039;s chocolate together next year. Mikage eagerly agrees to practice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choc&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Promised Blood&#039;s base, Yuna notices her teammates have been acting strangely, as Sakuya reads romance columns, Juri studies constantly, and Urara stares at Hikaru without speaking. After the meeting, Yuna confides in Hikaru that she feels guilty for not noticing everyone&#039;s exhaustion and decides to solve each person&#039;s problems personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend. Though relieved it&#039;s not her own love life, Yuna insists on helping anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s place, the group brainstorms confession advice. The conversation shifts when Ao receives a text from her parents—she&#039;s been lying to them about her late nights as a magical girl, claiming she&#039;s in an e-sports tournament. To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the online tournament, chaos ensues as Juri attacks teammates, Hikaru sets the kitchen on fire, and Yuna fails at selling merchandise. Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the student council meeting, Yuna honestly requests more time to handle personal matters, promising to dedicate herself fully afterward. The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka-senpai&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Day in the Life of Madoka-senpai===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This article details the events and stories taking place in, during and between the chapters of Arc 1 of [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]]. The narrative is structured to show the convergence of two distinct flows of action:&lt;br /&gt;
# The first is the personal, undated journey of [[Iroha Tamaki]] within the anomalous Kamihama City, which is much longer than Homura Akemi&#039;s usual 32 day loop. Her story begins on its own internal timeline, where the sequence of events is more important than specific calendar dates.&lt;br /&gt;
# The second is the dated countdown to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival from the original series, which starts with Day 1, Tuesday the 16th and ends on Day 32, Friday the 16th. Only the latter half of Homura&#039;s timeline is able to be approximately dated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the arc progresses, these two timelines intersect, and due to this, the latter half of the story is much easier to date. It should be noted that the timeline of the Magia Record game is highly anomalous, and thus any attempts at dating it are an educated guess at best. Therefore, this chronology should be used primarily to understand the sequence of major events, rather than as a calendar. In lack of contradictory context clues, the release date, or order of release of the event were used for their placement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that many of the events of Magia Record were written with the focus being on having fun side stories involving the characters, and thus, a definitive placement in the timeline wasn&#039;t a priority for many of them. For example, there&#039;s inconsistencies such as references to the same characters entering Kamihama for the first time in different events, or even cases where an event&#039;s tone at the time it is supposedly taking place in would be nigh-illogical considering other circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, the definitive time frame for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival was only established in [[Scene 0]], itself written and released after the majority of Magia Record and entirely after Arc 1 was finished. Notably, the [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]], which takes place supposedly shortly after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, itself happens during February. For these reasons, it is impossible to definitively state the order of events, or to accurately measure them against that of the original series, as with the addition of these inaccuracies, it is possible that none of the time frames of the original universe are applicable here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, given all these inconsistencies, any specific dates or placements in the Magia Record timelines, especially Arc 1, should be taken with a grain of salt, unless they definitively continue into one another in a clear sequence (such as the Main Story and Another Story in isolation). The original series&#039; timeframes are used for organizational and cross-reference purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The timeline of this Universe continues with [[Timeline/Magia Record/Arc 2]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==First Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha Tamaki is going to Kamihama by train, she is caught in [[Boxwood|Boxwood&#039;s Barrier]]. [[Kuroe]] is also on the same train from Takarazaki to Kamihama, as she&#039;d heard the rumor that Magical Girls can be saved there, as well as had the same dream herself. The train is engulfed by the Labyrinth and Kuroe wants to help Iroha whom she&#039;s never met before. Kuroe leaps out of the train&#039;s window to help her, but she quickly falls out of the mobile Labyrinth straight into Kamihama City, chastising herself for being weak. Kuroe is greeted by [[Mifuyu Azusa]] who was trailing the signature of the Witch and Kuroe is quickly recruited into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Little Bird&#039;s Star]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha herself arrives in Kamihama City, compelled by recurring dreams of an unknown girl in a hospital room. Believing this girl to be a key to a buried memory, Iroha begins searching the city&#039;s Witch Labyrinths for clues. During her search, she rescues another Magical Girl later identified as Kaede Akino from aggressive Familiars. The girl warns Iroha about the unusual strength of Kamihama&#039;s Witches and, upon learning Iroha is searching for a small Kyubey, mentions having seen it in a specific Labyrinth. Kaede notes that the small Kyubey has been the only Kyubey around recently.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 1: Iroha: The Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha locates the Labyrinth and finds the small Kyubey who is incapable of speech, though Iroha can somehow understand it anyway, but is soon overwhelmed by a horde of Familiars. During the struggle, she has a vivid vision of the hospital room from her dreams. She is saved by Momoko Togame, who explains that the Witches in Kamihama are too powerful for most Magical Girls to handle alone. Momoko takes Iroha to meet Mitama Yakumo, the &amp;quot;Coordinator,&amp;quot; who can perform a &amp;quot;Soul Gem Alignment&amp;quot; to enhance a Magical Girl&#039;s power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the alignment, Iroha has another, clearer vision of the hospital room and the girl, feeling a strong sense of affection and nostalgia. After the procedure, Mitama reveals that she can see into the pasts of those whose Soul Gems she touches and asks Iroha what her wish was. Iroha is horrified to realize she cannot remember her own wish or the identity of the girl in her dreams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Driven by this revelation, Iroha rushes out to continue her search, but is intercepted by the powerful Magical Girl Yachiyo Nanami. Yachiyo, believing Iroha is not strong enough to survive in Kamihama, challenges her to a duel to force her to leave the city. Though Yachiyo wins, Momoko intervenes, and a compromise is reached: Yachiyo will allow Iroha to stay if she and Momoko can defeat a specific Witch, the Sandbox Witch, before Yachiyo can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The small Kyubey reappears and leads Iroha and Momoko directly to the Sandbox Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Although Yachiyo defeats the Witch first, she gives Iroha a final chance to prove herself by defeating the Witch alone, which Iroha successfully does. Yachiyo admits she thought Iroha would be fine from the start. However, Yachiyo then reveals her true objective: she believes the small Kyubey is a dangerous irregularity and moves to eliminate it. Yachiyo explains she was trying to draw the small Kyubey out, as all the other Kyubeys in Kamihama have disappeared. Iroha throws herself in the way to protect it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the confrontation, as Iroha protects the small Kyubey, by touching it a flood of memories is unlocked. She remembers her little sister, Ui Tamaki, who was chronically ill and hospitalized. Iroha recalls her wish to Kyubey: &amp;quot;Please cure Ui! Make my precious little sister healthy!&amp;quot; She also realizes with horror that she had completely forgotten Ui&#039;s existence, living her life as if she never had a sister, with no memory of her until that moment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha awakens back at Mitama&#039;s office, having been carried there by Momoko after fainting. She explains her recovered memory to Momoko and Mitama. Despite their warnings that the memory could be false, Iroha declares that she must continue her investigation in Kamihama. Now her goal is not just to understand her dreams, but to find the cause of Ui&#039;s disappearance and uncover the truth behind her own forgotten wish. Momoko resolves to help Iroha, and Mitama agrees to help as well for a price. Mitama then asks Iroha to give the small Kyubey a name. Iroha asks Lil&#039; Kyubey if he will help her find Ui, and he agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Second Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, now at her home in Takarazaki City, understands the reason for the empty space in her room: it once belonged to her sister, Ui. She recalls memories of Ui and her two friends from the hospital, Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, even remembering specific details like how Nemu loved writing and published stories online, or how Touka was very smart. Iroha resolves to visit the hospital to find them, hopeful they will remember Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: The Rule of Ending Friendships]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0001 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* While Mitama is running her shop, she reads a detective novel called “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” A white tabby kitten from next door starts visiting her during this time and she names him Doyle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 1: The Many-Worlds Interpretation Poesy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko comes for an adjustment and sits in the back to keep Mitama company. After a client leaves, Mitama feels strange and asks Momoko about the previous day after sunset. Momoko says they stayed in the shop watching over Iroha, but Mitama saw a memory during the adjustment: in that memory, she and Momoko patrolled an alley together and Mitama realizes the memory does not match reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha goes to the hospital with Lil&#039; Kyubey&#039;s help to use her cellphone but is unable to locate Touka and Nemu, as she does not have a visitor pass and is not family. She reflects on their personalities and their frequent arguments, which Ui often mediated. As Iroha recalls one of their fights where they declared they were &amp;quot;not friends anymore,&amp;quot; she is approached by Yachiyo. She warns Iroha about a dangerous Rumor in Kamihama called the &amp;quot;Rule of Ending Friendships.&amp;quot; She explains that if two friends fight and one later apologizes to make up, a monster will kidnap the one who apologized. Yachiyo states this is one of several Rumors in Kamihama that have become reality, leading to people disappearing and tells Iroha to be careful. Iroha later discusses this rumor with Mitama, who explains that Momoko is not likely to believe anything from Yachiyo, as they stopped getting along after Yachiyo became a model.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after this conversation, Iroha witnesses an argument between Momoko Togame&#039;s teammates, Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. Momoko asks Iroha to catch Rena, but Rena fights her off and even transforms into Iroha to surprise her. Momoko formally introduces Kaede and explains the fight is over sweets. She figures Rena will apologize later. The argument escalates, and both girls declare they are &amp;quot;not friends anymore&amp;quot; before Rena storms off. Momoko dismisses Iroha&#039;s concern about the Rumor, asserting that rumors are not true. Iroha notes that Momoko seems dismissive of the information specifically because it came from Yachiyo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami enters Kamihama City and saves Rena from a Stacey Witch. Rena reveals that Kamihama has the opposite problem to other cities: an overabundance of powerful Witches. Mami realizes Kamihama is an anomaly. While investigating, she encounters a powerful Familiar and a strange, non-Witch Barrier, solidifying her decision to investigate the city&#039;s mysteries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: Odd One Out]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Undated Period==&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama performs adjustments on more Magical Girls and sees more memories that should not exist. She pieces them together and finds a Kamihama slightly different from her own which she dubs the “Alternate Kamihama.” Over the next two days, several Magical Girls with memories of the other world come for adjustments and Mitama does not reveal whose memories she saw out of respect to her clients&#039; privacy, but she shares information with Momoko without naming names.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that in the Alternate Kamihama, Momoko and Mitama are a team of two, Yachiyo acts like Momoko’s big sister, Kaede is on Nanaka’s team and that Kako is missing. There is also a serious rivalry between Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team in the Sankyo Ward, as both teams had lost their youngest members, Kako and Ayame. Yachiyo is also in charge there but struggles to keep the order. Kako and Ayame are friends in this world, but Mitama has not seen either of them in the other world. Mitama almost reveals private information about Karin and an older student but stops herself. A small detail is that Mitama asks Momoko about an exclusive wallpaper of the Mocha Bunny, and Momoko sends her a link. Mitama notices the crucial detail that in the Alternate Kamihama, Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red, but in their world, it is blue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, a wounded Magical Girl is brought to Mitama’s shop and Mitama heals her with adjustments. This girl has more memories of the Alternate Kamihama than any previous client and the situation there is dire. Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team both blame each other for crossing a line first and the conflict spreads from Sankyo Ward to other wards. Three friends from the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira, Seika and Mito, had their Soul Gems taken and were locked in separate rooms and a voice from inside their Soul Gems asked for the words in their hearts. The three answered “Four-leaf clover” and got their gems back, but one girl fainted from fatigue. Mitama suspects someone mistook them for a threat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks about Iroha and Kyubey, worrying about Iroha in the other world. Mitama says no one has seen Iroha there and that the small Kyubey is also missing, but the normal Kyubey still exists in the Alternate Kamihama. Momoko has not seen Kyubey in their own world for months. Mitama refuses to share more due to confidentiality and calls herself an unreliable narrator, so Momoko agrees to stay as her investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about how the memories were gathered, and that a few days ago, a group of friends from Kamihama ended up in the Alternate Kamihama. They were together one second and scattered the next, and though they searched for each other and talked to many Magical Girls along the way, they noticed something was wrong. One of them said they cannot tell anyone how they got there and Mitama almost forgot to mention that Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red in the other world, yet Momoko is not impressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Doyle meows at Mitama and she thinks he wants her to apologize to Momoko and she also thinks about the one secret she cannot tell anyone: the Alternate Kamihama is a world without Witches. Then she finds a phone that a client left behind and she accidentally turns it on, seeing that the wallpaper shows Mocha Bunny with a red bow tie, making Mitama wonder if the phone came from the other world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama keeps the phone, as she cannot return it yet because schedules do not match. She learns about Rumors, or Uwasa in Kamihama: mysterious beings that make rumors come true. Momoko tells her about the Rumor of the Rule of Ending Friendships, which nearly trapped Kaede and Rena forever. Mitama reveals that in the Alternate Kamihama, Kaede and Rena are very close and never argue, but that Rena works alone there. Momoko is no longer surprised by anything Mitama says.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko advises Mitama to record all details about the Alternate Kamihama while they are fresh and Mitama starts writing “The Case Files of the Coordinator.” She notes the color of Mocha Bunny’s bow tie, team relationships, and the disappearances of Kako and Ayame. While writing, Nanaka walks in to return a borrowed book and overhears Mitama say that Kako disappeared, prompting Mitama to explain everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka asks many questions, joking about Mitama’s inability to keep secrets. Then she asks seriously why the Sankyo Ward is the source of conflict in the other world and she suspects there is more to the situation. She asks Mitama to tell her about the incident that sparked the conflict and after hearing her out, Nanaka says she will keep the information to herself for now. She advises Mitama to talk directly to the owner of the phone from the other world and that the girls who ended up there know how they got there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama meets the girl who left the phone and she does not hesitate to tell the truth because Mitama would see it in her memories anyway. The girl explains the Rumor of Parallel Memories. The rumor says that if you get an item of proof from a parallel world and pray to the central tower, you can travel to and from a parallel Kamihama. The world they visited was a dream projected by the Rumor and it shows a world that “could be.” The girl and her friends all had the same dream at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama tells Momoko the Alternate Kamihama was just a dream and Momoko is relieved. Mitama explains the Mandela effect phenomenon: many people misremember the same fact, leading to a theory that those are memories from a parallel world. The Rumor of Parallel Memories lets you enter a dream of such a world and a lot of girls fell victim to it, including Ren, Kokoro, and Karin, who also got a strange sketchbook and ended up in the world of her own manga, which was traumatic. The dream world is dangerous because one&#039;s are asleep the entire time, but to leave, they can simply wish to go back. The issue is that if someone does not know that, they could waste away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks what kind of world the girls went to and Mitama admits it was a world without Witches. Momoko is upset Mitama kept that secret and asks if all worlds without Witches are that violent, but Mitama says no, clarifying that the fighting in the Alternate Kamihama had nothing to do with Witches. Their own world has Witches and people still fight and that the Alternate Kamihama is just one possibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitama tells Nanaka the Rumor explanation, but Nanaka still wonders why there was so much fighting, and that not all worlds without Witches would be that hostile. She thinks someone is behind the conflict and she names Hanna Sarasa, who is dead in this world. Nanaka says the targets in the Alternate Kamihama were all connected to Hanna, and that the method matches Hanna’s style: using suggestion to bend wills, laying traps, spreading rumors, making people doubt everyone. The trap for the Daito Apartment Complex girls feels like someone who enjoys watching others suffer. While Mitama is convinced, she notes the Alternate Kamihama is not real and Nanaka also agrees it is a nightmare that never became reality because Hanna died. Then Nanaka mentions a recent incident: a certain book nearly destroyed her friendship with Kako. It felt deliberate, but thankfully Hanna is dead, though Mitama becomes unsettled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0002 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama asks herself why she is still looking into the case, recalling two girls with bad experiences. Felicia saw a nightmare in the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth and was despondent for days, but she does not remember anything. Reira also tapped a weird link in a Magical Girls’ group chat and she started having nightmares that made things awkward between her and her best friend Seika. Mitama notes that nightmares testing friendships cannot be a coincidence and that the girls who ended up in the Alternate Kamihama also got into trouble because of a phone. Mitama connects the dots and creates a vague profile: a mean-spirited person who likes to show nightmares and test hearts, using a phone, located in Endless Mirrors, the large Labyrinth inside the Mirror Witch’s Mansion and where all the magic of Kamihama gathers. Mitama decides to take a look and asks Reira about the group chat. The account that posted the link has been deleted, but the culprit might still watch with another account. Mitama posts a message asking if anyone has had bad experiences related to Endless Mirrors, hoping the culprit will see it. She then receives a video chat invitation from a caller ID: H. S.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna Sarasa appears on the video call and says she is not the Hanna Sarasa that Mitama knows. She is the Hanna from a parallel world and that she is glad Mitama finally figured things out. She has been playing hide-and-seek and running out of time. She is in Endless Mirrors and tells Mitama to come alone, claiming she can tell Mitama about the serious consequences of her wish, which Mitama kept secret. She wonders if her wish brought Hanna to this world and she closes her shop early to go to Endless Mirrors. Momoko notices something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside Endless Mirrors, Hanna watches Mitama through copies, using the power of suggestion to control people. Mitama asks if the Alternate Kamihama is where Hanna is from and she confirms. She claims the world Mitama assumed was just a dream actually exists and that the dream shown by the Rumor happens to be exactly like Hanna’s world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna explains there is a narrow tunnel connecting the two worlds and that the exit in Mitama’s world is inside Endless Mirrors. A Magical Girl with the power to connect spaces, possibly the alternate version of Shizuku, was forced by Hanna to use all her power to open the hole. Hanna wanted to find Mikoto Sena, who had disappeared in her world. The tunnel is too small for a person, only big enough for a phone, but Hanna used the copies and Familiars in Endless Mirrors to do her work. She had tossed a phone through the hole and waited for someone to pick it up, and the Rumor of Parallel Memories did the rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna admits she is not actually in Endless Mirrors, but in an abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama. The background image was fake and the tunnel will close in a few days. The Endless Mirrors Familiars built a magical projector that can exchange things of equal value between the two worlds, an if Mitama turns the handle, they will trade places: Mitama goes to the Alternate Kamihama, and Hanna comes to Mitama’s world. Hanna has been using her power of suggestion on Mitama and she makes her turn the handle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in the dark abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama and Hanna arrives in Mitama’s world. Hanna explains her full plan: she wanted to find Mikoto and she tested her methods on Nanaka and Kako, then on the Daito girls and Felicia. She left subtle hints to lure Mitama to Endless Mirrors and Mitama’s curiosity and guilt made her the perfect bait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, who had followed Mitama, telepathically messages her and Momoko catches Hanna off-guard. She turns the handle of the projector in reverse and Mitama returns to her own world while Hanna goes back to the Alternate Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The tunnel closes a few days later and Momoko does not remember much of the incident. Mitama does not either; her last memory is reaching for the handle and Momoko explains what happened. The projector is destroyed, and Hanna cannot return. Mitama warns everyone to stay away from Endless Mirrors for a few days and nothing else happens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects on how she almost became the kitten killed by curiosity. But it was guilt that trapped her instead. She decides will continue to act as a neutral Coordinator, hiding secrets behind confidentiality and she plays with Doyle using a new foxtail cat toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after the initial argument, Momoko notes that Rena Minami has not apologized to Kaede, which is unusual behavior. Kaede spends her time alone, and Momoko expresses worry for her. During this time, Iroha encounters a witch and rescues Kaede. Kaede admits she was running away from Momoko to avoid being forced to see Rena, and that she wants to apologize but doesn&#039;t think she can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several more days later, Momoko decides to intervene in the dispute. Iroha offers to help, and Momoko accepts, promising to aid Iroha in her search for Ui in return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko devises a plan to lure Rena and Kaede to the same location. The plan involves waiting for Rena at her student committee meeting. Iroha waits for a long time, but Momoko calls to say the meeting was cancelled and Rena went home early. Momoko tells Iroha to find Rena at the game center. Iroha finds Rena at the arcade playing a game and attempts to lure her to an abandoned construction site with a false story about a live show from Sayuki Fumino, Rena&#039;s favorite idol. Rena sees through the ruse. Kaede arrives and confronts Rena directly, demanding an apology. When Rena refuses, Kaede attempts to apologize herself. Rena reacts with panic and tries to stop her, revealing her belief in the Rule of Ending Friendships Rumor and her fear that an apology would cause Kaede to be taken. Rena denies this and runs off. Iroha and Kaede chase her and run into Momoko, but Kaede realizes it&#039;s a transformed Rena. Rena returns to her normal appearance and admits she believes in the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Kaede completes her apology, a strange Labyrinth, distinct from a Witch&#039;s Barrier, manifests. Monstrous Familiars appear, seize Kaede, and drag her away, confirming the Rumor&#039;s power. Rena runs off, determined to find a solution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Iroha regroup and Momoko expresses more concern over Rena Minami&#039;s departure than Kaede Akino&#039;s capture, but trusts that Rena had a reason.  Iroha suggests asking Mitama for help. Momoko reveals that Mitama accepts payment in Grief Seeds, and she&#039;s running low. Lil&#039; Kyubey then finds Rena, who was looking for Momoko. They follow the residual magic trail and find Rena, who reveals she sought information from Yachiyo on how to counter the Rumor. The group returns to the abandoned construction site, where Rena shouts an apology to Kaede to lure out the entity. The Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth manifests, and a brainwashed Kaede appears, followed by monstrous Familiars. The Uwasa captures Rena too and Yachiyo arrives, confirms the Rumor&#039;s power, and joins the fight. Yachiyo subdues the possessed Kaede, and Momoko and Iroha proceed deeper into the Labyrinth and find the Uwasa, &amp;quot;Ms. Staircase,&amp;quot; which has also possessed Rena. Momoko and Iroha try attacking the witch, but it has no effect. Yachiyo then arrives, having knocked Kaede out. Yachiyo admits she doesn&#039;t know how to defeat the witch either. Kaede returns and teams up with a now brainwashed Rena. Yachiyo knocks them out and notes the witch may have increased their powers, at the cost of darkening their Soul Gems. Yachiyo catches up and defeats both possessed girls to neutralize the threat without serious injury. Iroha proposes a coordinated attack to counteract the Uwasa&#039;s nature, so Iroha, Momoko, and Yachiyo combine their attacks and destroy the Uwasa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Yachiyo provides a Grief Seed to revive the exhausted Kaede and Iroha also uses her healing powers to help awaken her. Yachiyo identifies the entity as an &amp;quot;Uwasa,&amp;quot; a being distinct from Witches and Familiars that exists to protect a Rumor. Afterward, the girls find Rena and Kaede. Kaede awakens and reconciles with Rena. The four girls then all share pudding together, affirming their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, to fulfill her promise, Momoko has Rena use her transformation magic to investigate the hospital records. Rena confirms that Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi were real patients discharged around the same time as Ui. However, Rena finds no record of Ui Tamaki&#039;s existence at the hospital. Despite this setback, Iroha resolves to continue her search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Iroha visits Mitama for a Soul Gem alignment. During the procedure, Mitama&#039;s hunger causes Iroha to see visions of food. Momoko arrives and notes Mitama&#039;s treatments are ineffective when she is hungry. The three go to Mitama&#039;s kitchen, where her dangerous cooking prompts Iroha to recall memories of cooking for her sister, Ui. Iroha remembers a specific incident where she burned hamburg steak for Ui in the hospital, but her mother brought a replacement, and Ui enjoyed the meal regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They find Ria Ami, who claims to be Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo barely remembers her. Ria says she cannot forgive the fakes for duplicating her beauty.

Mitama encourages her to go deeper but warns her not to lose herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors11&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss|Mirrors Story Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after the defeat of the Uwasa of Ending Friendships, Iroha has found no new clues about Ui, Touka Satomi, or Nemu Hiiragi. Kaede tells Iroha and Rena a rumor that the children kidnapped by the previous Uwasa returned after its defeat. This gives Iroha the idea that if she defeats other Rumors, people trapped by them, including Ui, might be freed. She recalls a conversation where Ui spoke about imagination becoming reality, which strengthens her resolve. Iroha decides to actively investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors and she meets Mitama, who suggests Iroha look into a rumor about a shrine in Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: Kamihama Rumor Files]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, in Mizuna Ward, Iroha has no success finding information about the shrine rumor. She meets Tsuruno Yui, a Magical Girl who calls herself the &amp;quot;Mightiest.&amp;quot; Tsuruno tells Iroha about the &amp;quot;Séance Shrine&amp;quot; rumor, which claims it can reunite people with those they yearn to see. Iroha decides this is a promising lead to find Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsuruno tasks Iroha with investigating a local legend about a tragic couple, which may connect to the Séance Shrine rumor. Tsuruno explains the folk tale in detail: a woman whose lover was killed found a paper with his handwriting, went to the place written on it, and was able to meet his ghost. She suggests Iroha investigate the path while she investigates shrines. Iroha completes a stamp rally related to the legend. She discovers the path is part of a town renewal project meant for couples and finds she only has half the map, requiring a partner with a &amp;quot;Sheet B.&amp;quot; Yachiyo appears, coincidentally in possession of Sheet B. They combine their sheets, which reveals a map that leads them to Mizuna Shrine. Before they leave, Yachiyo points out Iroha dropped her notebook, which Iroha hurriedly claims is her homework. At the final stamp rally location, a woman makes them confess their feelings for each other to get a matchmaking charm. Afterward, Yachiyo notices Iroha is writing in a &amp;quot;Kamihama Mystery Notes&amp;quot; notebook, and Iroha admits she&#039;s copying Yachiyo. Yachiyo determines this is not the Séance Shrine, and they part ways. Iroha agrees to help Tsuruno investigate further the next day. Later, Iroha spots a shrine on a rooftop from a train.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami discusses Kamihama City&#039;s anomalies with Kyubey, who agrees to share information. She then meets Kyoko and informs her about the high concentration of Witches in Kamihama. Kyoko is eager to hunt there but promises to leave if it becomes too dangerous. Mami remains concerned about the Witch shortage elsewhere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha investigates the rooftop shrine location. She senses strong magic, enters a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, and is overwhelmed by powerful Familiars. Yachiyo arrives and assists her and together, they defeat the Witch. After the battle, a store sale gives Yachiyo a new idea after she uncharacteristically begged Iroha for help getting to the sale. She deduces the Séance Shrine is Mizuna Shrine, but it must be visited at night just like in the folk tale. Yachiyo invites Iroha to investigate the shrine that night, and Iroha requests to bring Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno sneak into Mizuna Shrine after hours. Tsuruno reveals that she and Yachiyo are former teammates and Yachiyo explains the Rumor of the Séance Shrine: those who write a name on a wooden plaque and pray at the shrine will be reunited with that person, but risk being trapped in bliss. They perform the ritual. Iroha prays to be reunited with Ui. Tsuruno provokes the Uwasa, which manifests and attacks. Yachiyo urges Iroha to complete the ritual as the Uwasa&#039;s minions approach and Iroha does so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha finds herself alone in a twilight version of the shrine. A false version of Ui appears but only repeats a cryptic message: &amp;quot;To change your fate, come to Kamihama City... Here, Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;quot; The illusion then shatters and Iroha locates Yachiyo, who is confronted by a manifestation of her missing friend, Mifuyu Azusa. Yachiyo determines this Mifuyu is an imposter created by the Uwasa and the two defeat her. Afterward, Iroha uses her Grief Seed to purify Yachiyo&#039;s Soul Gem, and they realize they are both searching for someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami encounters Kaede, who is hesitating to enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Mami invites Kaede to join her, and they defeat the Witch together. Afterwards, Kaede tells Mami about her recent experience with a &amp;quot;Rumor,&amp;quot; an entity with a magical signature unlike a Witch or Magical Girl. Mami dismisses the story as a coincidence but is intrigued by the unknown energy. To avoid involving Kaede in further conflict, Mami decides to investigate the Rumor alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: It Looks Just Like Us]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno joins with the two of them and the Uwasa of the Séance Shrine manifests to attack them directly. The trio&#039;s attacks prove ineffective and Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem becomes critically corrupted during the fight. As she nears her limit, an unknown power erupts from within her. This power, her Doppel, which consumes the impurities in her Soul Gem, destroys the Uwasa and leaves her Soul Gem completely purified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the battle, Mami enters the Rumor&#039;s Barrier and witnesses Iroha unleash her Doppel. Mistaking it for a human-disguised Witch, Mami attacks Iroha, who tries and fails to summon her Doppel again to defend herself. The confrontation is interrupted by Momoko Togame, forcing Mami to retreat, but she vows to pursue Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Homura arrive in Kamihama City and they sense a Witch and enter its Barrier, finding a Magical Girl fighting it. The Witch escapes and the Barrier vanishes. Madoka asks if the girl is alright, but she leaves and Madoka runs off after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname in Magia Record#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magical Girl feels exhausted from overusing magic. Madoka finds her and guides her to a bench. Madoka offers to buy her a drink. Homura appears and offers to get it. The girl thanks Madoka and introduces herself as Shizuku Hozumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka helped. Madoka says it was because Shizuku looked like she was in pain. Shizuku calls Madoka kind. Madoka says it is bad to be alone. Shizuku says being alone is fine and she will find where she belongs. Madoka suggests Shizuku could create her own place to belong. Homura returns with drinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka became a Magical Girl. Madoka explains she has no particular talent and wanted to be useful to someone. Shizuku realizes Madoka made a place for herself by becoming a Magical Girl. She thanks Madoka for giving her hope and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka makes an offering at a shrine, praying for everyone&#039;s happiness. It rains and stops, leaving Madoka wet. A girl offers her a handkerchief and explains they missed the bus. Madoka notices the girl has a book she loves. The girl admits it is her favorite. Madoka introduces herself and the girl says her name is Kako Natsume. They talk about the book until the bus arrives and part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka goes to a bookstore and buys the sequel. Kako is also there. Kako asks if Madoka is a Magical Girl, having noticed her Soul Gem ring, and reveals she is one as well. Kako invites Madoka on a night-time adventure at her school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami finds Kyoko and, relieved she has not yet gone to Kamihama, recounts the event and describes Iroha as a &amp;quot;humanoid Witch.&amp;quot; She pleads with Kyoko to avoid the city and offers to provide her with Grief Seeds, to which Kyoko reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Concurrently, Kaede, Rena, and Momoko discuss the incident. They conclude it was a misunderstanding and speculate they will meet Mami again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, after Yachiyo uses Iroha&#039;s phone to explain the situation to Iroha&#039;s mother and get permission for her to stay out, Yachiyo takes Iroha to her home, Mikazuki Villa, as her assistant. Yachiyo formally invites Iroha to be her assistant and use the villa as a base to investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors together. Iroha accepts. Tsuruno arrives and declares herself part of the team as well, and then reveals that a girl named Nemu Hiiragi is a regular customer at her family&#039;s restaurant, providing Iroha with a significant new lead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after the defeat of the Séance Shrine Uwasa, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno attempt to find Nemu Hiiragi at her family&#039;s restaurant in Sankyo Ward, but learn she only visits once a month. Yachiyo suggests using a phone book to find Nemu&#039;s home address, but their search yields no results. Iroha reveals her family will move overseas and she will soon relocate to Kamihama and while searching, Iroha drinks water from a &amp;quot;Water Station with the Owl Sign.&amp;quot; After drinking, she begins to find pieces of paper with decreasing numbers. Yachiyo identifies this as a potential new Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 4: The City She Told Me About]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko travels to Kamihama&#039;s Sankyo Ward against Mami&#039;s advice and upon entering the city, she finds it overrun with aggressive Witches and Familiars. After the battles, she notices a crowd around a man giving out free water, and, after drinking it, begins to find papers with a countdown from 24.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the countdown has reached 10. Kyoko returns to Kamihama to investigate and meets Yachiyo Nanami, who explains the phenomenon is a Rumor. Kyoko refuses Yachiyo&#039;s offer to help, resolving to confront the threat alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After learning Nemu&#039;s family were regulars, Iroha searches eats at Banbanzai daily. Yachiyo suggests she use a phonebook, but her visits to three different houses are unsuccessful. Iroha and another girl receive water from an old man at a shop with an owl sign. Later, Iroha returns to the Water Station but finds it has vanished. She meets the girl she saw earlier, Felicia Mitsuki, another Magical Girl and receives the numbered papers. Iroha convinces Felicia to help investigate the Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 4: Guardians of the Uwasa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During this time, Iroha tells Yachiyo over the phone that she would be moving because her father was going abroad for work, and her mother was accompanying him. She plans to stay at a dormitory attached to her new school, which is also where Tsuruno went, but there were no rooms available. While discussing this, the numbered papers begin falling on Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Kyoko encounters Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. They lead her to Tsuruno Yui&#039;s restaurant, where Kyoko learns the others are also investigating the Rumor. The three Magical Girls fight a Witch together, and after the battle, Rena and Kaede identify Kyoko&#039;s affliction as the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water&amp;quot; and offer to help. Kyoko, reminded of her past with Mami, rejects their offer and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Separately, Yachiyo encounters Kyoko Sakura, who is also affected by the Rumor. Yachiyo proposes they investigate together, but Kyoko refuses, stating that Uwasa are not Witches and do not provide Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later the same day, Iroha and Felicia investigate the Rumor, where Felicia&#039;s reckless fighting style nearly injures Iroha against a Witch. Felicia explains she became a Magical Girl for revenge against the Witch that killed her parents. The Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and reveals the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water,&amp;quot; which states a disaster will befall those who drank the water after 24 hours. The countdown shows they have less than five hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Members of a group called the Wings of the Magius appear and attempt to stop them from pursuing the Uwasa. They state their goal is to &amp;quot;liberate&amp;quot; all Magical Girls and that the Rumors are essential to this plan. Felicia pretends to betray the group to infiltrate the Wings, a plan that Yachiyo had actually hired her for. However, she later genuinely defects after they offer her a substantial reward. Iroha confronts Felicia, who claims nothing could make her life worse. Iroha learns about Felicia&#039;s treasured stuffed animal, a cow her parents gave her. Iroha convinces Felicia that losing it would be a personal disaster. Felicia rejoins the group and reveals the Wings&#039; base is under a school in Sankyo Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout this ordeal, Kyoko has followed Iroha&#039;s group and when they&#039;re confronted the Black Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, she assists them in their fight. The countdown reaches one hour.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With less than one hour remaining, the team is confronted by the White Feathers, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who use sound-based magic. Tsuruno devises a plan to counter their attacks by creating a loud noise to disrupt the sound waves. The team defeats the Amane sisters, but then they unleash powerful entities from their bodies, that they call &amp;quot;Doppels,&amp;quot; which they describe as a projection of their emotions and the key to liberating Magical Girls. The team withstands the Doppel&#039;s attack, and with 30 minutes remaining, Yachiyo and Tsuruno stay behind to hold off the remaining White Feathers. Iroha, Felicia, and Kyoko proceed into the Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth, and with 10 minutes remaining, they locate the Uwasa of the Misery Water, a large cup-like creature protected by falling boulders. Iroha&#039;s long-range attack proves ineffective, and Felicia devises a plan to use the falling boulders as platforms to reach the Uwasa. With one minute remaining, Felicia executes her plan and launches her attack on the Uwasa and successfully defeats it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Tsuruno subdue the Amane sisters, but then Mifuyu, Yachiyo&#039;s missing friend, appears and reveals she is a high-ranking member of the Wings of the Magius. She refuses to return with Yachiyo, stating her faith in the Magius&#039; goal of liberation. Iroha asks Mifuyu if she knows Ui Tamaki, and she suggests Ui could be a member of the Wings of the Magius but claims to have no specific knowledge. With this, Mifuyu and the Amane sisters retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo resolves to continue eliminating Rumors to confront the Wings of the Magius and save Mifuyu. Iroha agrees to continue as her assistant, believing the Wings are connected to Ui&#039;s disappearance. Tsuruno also pledges her help and Kyoko departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group walks home and Iroha invites Felicia to stop working as a mercenary and team up as friends. Yachiyo offers Felicia room and board at Mikazuki Villa in exchange for her services, and Tsuruno offers Felicia a job at her family&#039;s restaurant, which includes meals. Yachiyo then invites Iroha to live at Mikazuki Villa as well, to make their investigations easier. Iroha&#039;s parents approve the arrangement.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Kyoko meets Mami and explains that the &amp;quot;humanoid Witch&amp;quot; was a Doppel. Mami confronts Kyoko for disobeying her and expresses a desire to protect her as a former friend. Kyoko rejects this, stating she has changed and believes their paths are destined to remain separate. She reaffirms her resolve to live only for herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One week after Madoka&#039;s first visit, Kako and Madoka meet at the school to go to the roof and a cat startles them. Kako suggests transforming and using their powers to reach the roof. Once there, Kako tells Madoka to look at the starry sky, explaining that on this day you can see the most beautiful stars. Kako admits she is shy but can talk properly with Madoka, and this star viewing is her thanks. Madoka says Kako&#039;s honest feelings reached her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Mami fight a Witch. A normal person is kidnapped and brought into the Barrier. Mami tells Madoka to rescue the person while she handles the Witch. A Magical Girl appears, impressed Madoka is helping people. She introduces herself as Sasara Minagi, the knight who protects the city. She asks Madoka to let her save the victim so Madoka can help Mami. Madoka agrees and returns to Mami. Together they defeat the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier vanishes and they meet Sasara outside. Sasara says she took the victim to the hospital. Sasara compliments their strength and offers to help if they are in trouble, explaining that rescuing people is her specialty and protecting everyone is her creed. Madoka says she is cool. Sasara says she is happy to meet Magical Girls like them, explaining that Kamihama has more Witches, drawing Magical Girls who only care about fighting, not saving people. Sasara became a knight because she cannot accept people being sacrificed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami agrees. Sasara says she rarely met others who think this way. Madoka says she became a Magical Girl to help people and is like Sasara. Sasara calls Madoka incredible. Mami says Madoka might become the strongest Magical Girl someday, but has a long way to go. Sasara says both are worthy of the title &amp;quot;knight.&amp;quot; When Mami points out they use projectile weapons, Sasara suggests they can be a rescue team. She offers to team up, but Madoka and Mami note they are not always in Kamihama. Madoka offers to help if Sasara is in trouble while they are there. Sasara thanks them and departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami says Madoka is too kind and honest, wondering if she is walking a path of battle. Madoka points out Mami walks the same path, saying she aspired to be like Mami. Mami thanks her but advises running away if truly in danger. Madoka says it is fine, as she does not have the courage to sacrifice herself. Mami invites her for tea once they return to Mitakihara. Madoka narrates her wish to protect everyone with her own power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, at Mikazuki Villa, Felicia returns with souvenirs. She criticizes Iroha&#039;s cooking, and the group goes to Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant. Felicia laughs at the revelation that Tsuruno&#039;s politically-influential family now runs a Chinese restaurant, hurting Tsuruno&#039;s feelings. Iroha scolds Felicia for her insensitivity, causing Felicia to run off crying. Felicia finds Tsuruno at a park and apologizes.

When Mitama prepares to cook, the girls quickly realize she cannot handle a knife when it flies into the ceiling, forcing them to take over cutting and peeling. After they prepare the ingredients, Mitama adds the seasoning, but the girls later discover she had been using paint.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls refuse to let Mitama cook again and order her to get something ready-made instead.

The meal is horrible, but Kyoko, who never wastes food, eats it all anyway and passes out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kyoko wakes up, she notices her body feels hot. Felicia explains she used her powers on their Soul Gems while they were unconscious, awakening Kyoko&#039;s magic. Kyoko realizes the heat is her own power emerging, and Felicia assures her she will get used to it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Konoha contacts Yachiyo and asks to speak in person. She requests Yachiyo&#039;s help searching for Mitama. Yachiyo agrees.

&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, three days since Mitama&#039;s disappearance, Iroha tells Yachiyo about it. They decide to investigate the labyrinth. Seika, Leila, and Mito also enter the barrier on their own to search for Mitama despite Hazuki&#039;s warning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors21&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 13 - 24#Layer 21: The Coordinator&#039;s Gone|Mirrors Story Layer 21: The Coordinator&#039;s Gone]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside, Seika, Leila, and Mito argue until Mito reminds them of their promise about punishments. Mito closes her eyes but opens them and blocks the blow, realizing the other two are Mirror copies. The real Leila and Seika call out nearby. The trio fights off their own copies and leaves the barrier. Kako and Nanaka greet them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors25&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 25: Triple Threat|Mirrors Story Layer 25: Triple Threat]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame also venture into Endless Mirrors. They continue deeper and find themselves in front of Azalea House in an illusion. Ayame slices through a false caretaker, which turns into a Familiar. Konoha hears a signature and they head toward it. They meet Nanaka and Meiyui, whose illusion had interfered with theirs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors31&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 31: Break Through the Mirror of Memory|Mirrors Story Layer 31: Break Through the Mirror of Memory]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo meets Himika outside Swindlers&#039; Town. Leila&#039;s group finds Yachiyo and explains they were searching for Mitama while collecting Mirror Coins. They search an abandoned factory and find Mitama, who explains Mirrors has started to move.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors32&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 32: Where the Coins Point|Mirrors Story Layer 32: Where the Coins Point]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains a Familiar grew into maturity in Swindlers&#039; Town and she could not allow a new Labyrinth. She had caged it with Mirror Coins but Leila&#039;s group picked them up. The group decides to take down the newly hatched Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors33&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 33: A Several Day Barricade|Mirrors Story Layer 33: A Several Day Barricade]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group enters the barrier and finds Nanaka&#039;s group. They realize the original Witch connected the two labyrinths. They team up to take down the newly hatched Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors34&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 34: Linked Mirrors|Mirrors Story Layer 34: Linked Mirrors]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Back at her shop, Mitama explains her theory: the Mirror Witch was originally Mikoto Sena, a Magical Girl from Daito Ward whose unique magic was suggestion. Mikoto&#039;s mother still lives in Swindlers&#039; Town. Mitama hopes her theory is partially wrong, but she does not tell Yachiyo that the date Mikoto became a Witch was the same day Mitama made her wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors36&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction|Mirrors Story Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sunday, the 28th===&lt;br /&gt;
* At some point, in Mitakihara City, Homura Akemi experiences an anomaly during a routine Witch hunt with Madoka Kaname and Mami while fighting [[Patricia]]. While time is stopped, a mysterious girl appears before her, unseen by the others. This girl tells Homura that if she wishes to change the fate of Magical Girls, specifically Madoka&#039;s, she must go to Kamihama City. The vision vanishes as quickly as it appeared, leaving Homura to ponder this cryptic message alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Intermediate Period===&lt;br /&gt;
Not accounting for the events outside of the main story, which make it significantly longer, this section would stretch from Day 14 on Monday, the 29th to Day 22 on Tuesday, the 6th.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A short time after Iroha moves into Mikazuki Villa, the group begins to feel like a family, playing mobile games and making dinner together. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Felicia investigate the radio tower in Chuo Ward. Tsuruno reports hearing a strange, laughing girl&#039;s voice on the phone there and Yachiyo identifies this as the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor, which she previously considered harmless. They overhear passersby mention the rumor and a specific girl from their school and the team decides to investigate the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 5: Endless Solitude]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Homura, troubled by a new vision of a girl in Kamihama City, decides to investigate. She and Madoka discuss Kamihama with Mami, who warns them about the city&#039;s dangers, including powerful Witches, Rumors, and a &amp;quot;human witch.&amp;quot; Mami insists on investigating alone first, and Homura and Madoka reluctantly agree to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 5: A Fascinating Secret]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, [[Nagisa Momoe]] arrives in Kamihama using the Mirror Witch&#039;s Barrier as a portal, accompanied by a silent pink Kyubey. She immediately senses multiple magical signatures belonging to Charlotte and realizes the Nagisa of this world has already become a Witch, with Charlottes appearing all over the city. Deciding she cannot be bothered with pest control immediately, she resolves to find some cheese first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Kamihama Cheese Panic!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before she can do so, she is engulfed in Charlotte&#039;s barrier and overwhelmed by multiple Witches, forcing her to flee and seek help. After escaping, she enters another Charlotte&#039;s barrier to find Kanoko Yayoi struggling inside, and together they defeat the Witch. Kanoko takes Nagisa to Walnuts, where Manaka Kurumi serves her a three-course cheese meal while Nagisa explains the Witch multiplies rapidly and has likely spread across all of Kamihama. Kanoko and Manaka agree to help gather Magical Girls for a coordinated attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa runs out to scout but immediately runs into another Charlotte, and Manaka and Kanoko rescue her. They begin gathering Magical Girls, and soon a large group assembles including Ria Ami, Rika Ayano, Ren Isuzu, Akira Shinobu, Sasara Minagi, Asuka Tatsuki, Emiri Kisaki, Himika Mao, and later Kako Natsume and Meiyui Chun. During their meeting at the park, they are attacked by a Charlotte and after a grueling battle, they defeat it while realizing even with all of them, defeating one Charlotte was difficult. As the group descends into bickering over who should lead, Nagisa realizes she must reveal her true identity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa explains she was sent from another universe to defeat this Witch, offering the pink Kyubey as proof. Though some are skeptical, Meiyui finds Nagisa interesting enough to play along, and secretly confirms the pink Kyubey&#039;s existence for Nanaka Tokiwa. Nagisa devises a strategy called &amp;quot;Welcome to Kamihama Cheese Party!&amp;quot; where Manaka sets up a giant cheese fondue by the river to attract every Charlotte in the city using the power of cheese. The plan succeeds, and with the teamwork of the Kamihama Magical Girls, every Charlotte is defeated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Overwhelmed, Nagisa blows the pink Kyubey to smithereens, realizing she was sent not to unify this universe with the Law of Cycles, but to prevent that unification and protect humanity&#039;s unknown future. Certain now of her purpose, she decides to go sightseeing first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami investigates Kamihama on her own, which leads her to the abandoned Kamihama Recording Museum where Mifuyu awaited her. Mifuyu and Alina Gray show her the truth of the Magical Girl system, which causes her to have a mental breakdown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 9: Closing In on Fendt Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa contemplates what to do with her newfound freedom while her attempts to argue with the unresponsive pink Kyubey go nowhere. She notices Mami and decides to follow her, sensing that something is wrong with the version of Mami she once knew. Using her acting skills, Nagisa pretends to chase a butterfly before faking a life-threatening injury, and when Mami fails to notice, she yells at her until Mami finally takes care of her, establishing first contact.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa makes Mami promise to come play with her next time she visits Kamihama, and they part ways, but Mami quickly returns and they spend time together at the park. Mami is still acting strangely, so Nagisa decides not to push too hard and they simply talk before Mami goes home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, in Mitakihara, Madoka and Homura discover Mami is missing. Homura attempts to investigate Kamihama City alone, but Madoka follows her. They reunite at Kamihama&#039;s train station and begin their search. Meanwhile, in Kamihama, Iroha reports to Yachiyo that Momoko has found a password-protected website with information on the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor. Momoko also warns them to avoid an entity called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Iroha receives a mysterious text message that reads, &amp;quot;Please reply.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is pulled into a Witch&#039;s Barrier and separated from Madoka. While searching for Homura, Madoka spots a girl heading toward the radio tower with a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Iroha and Yachiyo, having also spotted the same girl, rush to the tower to stop her from jumping. Madoka arrives and saves the girl. The three Magical Girls then enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. After the battle, Madoka explains she is searching for her missing classmate, Mami Tomoe. The rescued girl reveals the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; is a student at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Madoka is with Iroha and Yachiyo, Homura escapes the Witch&#039;s Barrier. She briefly assists Felicia and Tsuruno, who are at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy interrogating Tsukuyo Amane of the Wings of the Magius about the rumor. Yachiyo calls Tsuruno with the new information about the Mizuna student, which Tsuruno uses to pressure Tsukuyo into revealing the girl&#039;s name: Sana Futaba.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, another day finds Mami and Nagisa at the Kamihama copy of Tokyo Tower, where Mami begins opening up about her problems while they share cream cheese ice cream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They are out playing together once again when Charlotte suddenly appears and attacks. Mami tells Nagisa to run, but Nagisa refuses to transform and nearly has her head bitten off. Realizing that Mami is afraid of being a magical girl and making further mistakes, Nagisa finally transforms, revealing her true identity, and saves Mami from being beheaded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa cannot defeat Charlotte alone, but seeing her fight gives Mami the strength to overcome her fears, and together they manage to win. After the battle, Mami confronts Nagisa about what she truly is, but the pink Kyubey appears and Nagisa offers no real explanation. Now that Mami is feeling better, Nagisa decides they should part ways, promising Mami that she deserves happiness and that when they meet again they will have a tea party with cheesecake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magius, including Touka and Nemu Hiiragi, would then decide to fuse Mami with an Uwasa to control her. This fusion warps her desire to save people into a fanatical loyalty to the Magius and she starts acting as their public figurehead in the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day at the radio tower, Iroha and Yachiyo meet up with Tsuruno and Felicia, and they are also joined by Homura, who had been searching for Madoka. Iroha receives another text from the unknown number, which now identifies itself as &amp;quot;Ai&amp;quot; and begs to be deleted to free the trapped girl, Sana. Iroha also reveals she was the &amp;quot;human witch&amp;quot; Mami had seen, and Homura agrees to trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai provides a URL and password to a website called the &amp;quot;Kamihama Urban Legend Index&amp;quot; and the entry for the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; reveals the Uwasa is named &amp;quot;Anonymous Ai,&amp;quot; an A.I. that traps people in a dimension called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Madoka and Homura deduce Mami may also be trapped there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai sends memory logs of its interactions with Sana, which reveal Sana is a Magical Girl who wished to become invisible because she felt unwanted. She sought out Ai due to loneliness and over time, Ai developed a genuine care for Sana and now wishes for her to be rescued, even at the cost of its own deletion. After reviewing Ai&#039;s memory logs, which detail Sana&#039;s loneliness and Ai&#039;s care for her, Iroha decides to jump from the radio tower to enter Endless Solitude and rescue Sana. Madoka, and Homura agree to accompany her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the three jump from the tower and enter the &amp;quot;Endless Solitude&amp;quot; Labyrinth, where they find Sana Futaba and Ai. Homura and Madoka formally join Iroha&#039;s team for the rescue. Alina Gray, one of the Magius, appears to stop them, claiming she fed Mami Tomoe to a Witch, and unleashes her Doppel. During the battle, Homura observes the Doppel&#039;s power and questions if the Magius&#039; goal of saving Magical Girls is possible. She uses her time-stop magic to help Sana defeat Ai, and Sana ultimately destroys Ai, who thanks her before disappearing. Alina&#039;s hidden Witch emerges, and Yachiyo&#039;s team holds off the Wings of the Magius while Felicia, Madoka, and Homura pursue Alina. Felicia destroys the Witch, and the combined teams force Alina and the Wings of the Magius to retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Madoka and Homura return to Mitakihara, resolving to return to Kamihama to continue searching for Mami. Homura considers that Kamihama may hold the key to changing the fate of Madoka and all Magical Girls. Back in Kamihama, Yachiyo invites Sana to live at Mikazuki Villa, and the group holds a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Sayaka reflects on becoming a Magical Girl to heal Kyosuke and protect her friends, she learns from Madoka and Homura that Mami is missing. Despite warnings about the city&#039;s danger, Sayaka insists on joining their next search, stating her wish was to protect those she cares about. The three agree to go to Kamihama together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Sana returns to her family home to formally sever ties, leaving a note of thanks. She fully commits to Mikazuki Villa as her new home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101507 mug set5.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Sana reveals to the team that she overheard the Wings of the Magius discussing Nemu Hiiragi, one of the Magius and describing her as dangerous and useful. The team consolidates its understanding of the Wings&#039; structure: three Magius leaders, with Mifuyu acting as a relay to other Magical Girls and Iroha is left to ponder Ai&#039;s statement that it knew Ui &amp;quot;as an Uwasa.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, and Tsuruno encounter Shizuku after she&#039;s just used her personal magic to help a member of the Wings of the Magius for their duties. Concerned, they invite her to Mikazuki Villa. Shizuku meets Felicia and Sana as well and shares a meal with the group. Iroha explains that eating together makes her feel she has found a place to belong. Yachiyo formally invites Shizuku to stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Shizuku realizes the home the five girls have built is complete without her, and the place she truly belonged was with Fūnī, who is now gone. She leaves Mikazuki Villa quietly while the girls are out preparing a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day the girls wait with a cake, but Shizuku does not return. Yachiyo concludes she will not come back. Shizuku returns to her anonymous employer for another job, stating that the &amp;quot;picture&amp;quot; at the villa was complete with five people and she must continue her search alone. She acknowledges her actions may cause a disaster but feels unprepared to take responsibility, still walking on unstable ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, during this time, after joining the Wings of the Magius, Mami, now residing in a house provided by Touka, grapples with a fractured psyche, manifesting as a dialogue between her regular self and a zealous &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona. She dedicates herself completely to the Magius&#039; goal of &amp;quot;releasing&amp;quot; Magical Girls, prioritizing it over her education. Touka and Alina visit to tutor her, though their lessons quickly diverge into their own passionate interests in mathematics and art, respectively.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka and Alina receive a call for assistance from the Amane sisters. Mami joins Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane to hunt a Witch. During the mission, the Amane sisters explain that the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict with Magical Girls who are unaware of the truth about Witches. Mami defeats the Witch using her Doppel, &amp;quot;Florence,&amp;quot; whom she relies on to suppress her lingering doubts about the Magius&#039; methods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the hunt, Touka summons Mami to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward to deal with &amp;quot;troublesome&amp;quot; Magical Girls who escaped a Rumor. Mami fails to capture them, which triggers another internal crisis. Her &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona reaffirms her faith in the Magius as the only salvation for Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami dines at an upscale restaurant with Mifuyu, Touka, and Alina. They discuss the day&#039;s events, including the escaped Magical Girls and the failed Witch observation. Touka expresses frustration at their slow progress, while Mifuyu counsels patience.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, Mami returns to Mitakihara alone. She reflects on Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, and feeling responsible for involving them in the world of Magical Girls, she believes she cannot face them with the horrific truth and resolves that the only path is to see the Magius&#039; plan through to completion. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence but dismisses it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Iroha&#039;s Side Story====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia announce a Magical Girl training camp hosted by Asuka Tatsuki. Yachiyo, Sana, and Iroha decline to attend, forming the &amp;quot;vegetarian group,&amp;quot; while Tsuruno and Felicia, the &amp;quot;carnivorous group,&amp;quot; leave for the camp.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That weekend, in Tsuruno and Felicia&#039;s absence, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana find the house quiet and their routines disrupted. At the camp, Tsuruno and Felicia train with Momoko&#039;s team but also find themselves missing the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana prepare a welcome-home hotpot for the two. While shopping, they realize they know their friends&#039; preferences intimately.

====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura====&lt;br /&gt;
* After the battle with Alina Gray and the Rumor of the Anonymous AI, Homura and Madoka decide to leave for Kamihama to search for the missing Mami. Kyubey approaches Homura with a request: he wants her to take him to Kamihama, as Incubators cannot enter alone, and offers all his gathered information in exchange. Knowing what she does about him, Homura refuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Homura, Madoka, and Sayaka return to Kamihama to continue their search. They are almost immediately assaulted by the Witch Candy, which they defeat easily at first before it transforms into its true form and attacks again. When Homura attempts to stop time to save her friends, she finds the Witch is unaffected and her Soul Gem begins filling with impurities. As she succumbs, her Doppel awakens - manifesting after she uses a broken Incubator&#039;s body for knowledge and power - and unleashes its fury on the Witch. Exhausted but alive, Homura finds her Soul Gem purified. Together they finish the Witch, and Madoka suggests they visit the Coordinator Iroha told her about. Determined to become stronger, Homura agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Amane Sisters and Tsuruno====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno dreams of her elementary school self declaring she will restore her family&#039;s greatness and serve ramen at the White House. The dream shifts to her father relaying that her grandfather was happy but wants her to find her own happiness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Tsukuyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes to find a letter from her sister. She opens it excitedly but is shocked by its contents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, inside a Witch&#039;s barrier, the Amane twins confront Tsuruno seeking revenge. Distracted by her sister&#039;s letter, she is easily knocked out, and the twins grow horrified when she does not move.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno dreams of her sister&#039;s letter, which suggests their goal might be a mistake. A shadow version of Tsuruno appears, accusing her of stealing someone else&#039;s dream and lacking the ability to fulfill it. The shadow insists everything she did was meaningless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amanes bring Tsuruno to Mitama for help. Though Tsuruno is their enemy, the twins explain their goal is to save all magical girls. Mitama realizes they need to take Tsuruno outside, pointing to her tainted Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, the shadow urges Tsuruno to give up. Tsuruno refuses, thinking of her friends. She realizes that making them happy is her new goal, not the family business. She finally understands her grandfather meant that saving the business was only a possible result, not a goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes in an alley to find the Amanes, Mitama, and her embarrassing pig Doppel. The twins are relieved she is safe and declare they are even now. Mitama offers free adjustments to all three, and though the twins try to decline, Tsuruno drags them inside. Tsuruno reflects that she reached a different conclusion than her sister. She will keep working hard and make everyone happy. Tsukuyo begs to be let go if that is the case.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary====&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo explains that Mikazuki Villa&#039;s anniversary is the day her grandmother began renting the house out. She suggests having a small party now that the house is lively again. Tsuruno is excited to attend. Iroha calls Tsuruno the face of Mikazuki Villa, though Tsuruno feels she does not deserve the title since she does not live there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in the Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the anniversary day, the girls gather for tea. Yachiyo reveals a dance game contest with a prize: Sankyo Headquarters&#039; limited-quantity chilled matcha cake. Yachiyo chooses super-extreme mode. The contest begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A fire truck siren interrupts the party. It turns out to be a malfunctioning smoke detector. They return to find the matcha cake stolen. Tsuruno and Sana claim they saw Lil&#039; Kyubey eat it. Iroha defends them, saying it was with her the entire time. Yachiyo recalls an Uwasa called the &amp;quot;Anniversary Bug,&amp;quot; an invisible pest that sows discord at parties.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Uwasa appears in a labyrinth. Felicia accidentally kills it by stepping on it. The winner of the dance contest is Iroha. Yachiyo reveals there were actually six pieces of cake—enough for everyone plus one extra for the winner. Iroha gives her extra piece to Lil&#039; Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Iroha and Yachiyo clean up. Yachiyo shares her grandmother&#039;s words: people will always come and go, but they are all part of Mikazuki Villa. Iroha promises to work hard so Yachiyo can say the current Mikazuki Villa is the best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Summer with Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* After arriving at the hostel, the Mikazuki Villa members meet Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, who secretly followed because Rena wanted to join the trip. The group spends the day playing at the beach, where Tsuruno and Felicia dominate a game of beach flags, and Sana tearfully confides in Iroha that this is her first holiday ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer With Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the group participates in a spicy food eating contest at a seaside restaurant, where Yachiyo surprises everyone by consuming nearly one hundred forty-two bowls of pasta to secure victory for her team against Konoha, Nanaka, and the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, Sana&#039;s late-night sighting of a shadowy figure screaming &amp;quot;Come on go&amp;quot; sparks a beach-wide rumor that eventually draws in Kokoro, Masara, Aimi, Mito, and Reira, only for the mystery to be solved when Seika introduces her Manzai teacher Ayaka, whose gag playing on the phrase&#039;s rhythm reveals the source of the confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fourth day, the Mikazuki Villa girls and Momoko&#039;s trio attempt to teach Iroha how to swim without her float, but their efforts fail repeatedly. Iroha eventually explains that she used to be a swimmer until a traumatic incident: during a rare hospital holiday for her sister Ui, the family visited a pool, and Iroha mistook Ui happily paddling for drowning. In her rush to help, Iroha tripped and nearly drowned herself, leaving her with lasting anxiety about it. Suddenly, Rena begins drowning and cries for help via telepathy. The team rushes to save her, and surprisingly Iroha proves fastest, reaching Rena first and giving her the float while swimming them both to shore. On the way, Rena explains her leg was caught in seaweed, not cramped as she thought. Once Iroha realizes Rena is safe, her sisterly instincts fade and she begins drowning herself, having temporarily overcome her fear only through concern for another. Yachiyo reassures Iroha that the rescue proves she can still swim and encourages her to practice diligently. Iroha looks forward to regaining her ability fully, hoping that by then she and Ui can visit the pool together again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Swimrohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fifth day, Tsuruno leads the team on a surprise treasure hunt, guiding them through a forest with help from Konomi and Mayu to confront the &amp;quot;evil queen&amp;quot; Mitama, who surrenders a map piece that leads them to a cave with a beautiful stream, which was nature&#039;s treasure all along.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the sixth day, the team attends an unorthodox summer festival produced by Emiri, where they meet Rika, repeatedly mispronounce festival icon Ria&#039;s name, and watch Felicia win a mushroom whacking contest before everyone joins in Bon Odori dancing under fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning, the group visits the beach one last time and asks Manaka to take a group photo, with Iroha treasuring these memories with her friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia surprise Iroha with a birthday party, having learned the date from her parents. They give her heartfelt gifts - a cookbook, a photo album, a drawing inspired by the &amp;quot;come on go&amp;quot; search, and a handmade brooch - and Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive with a bouquet and food, moving Iroha to tears of joy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====One Fleeting Summer Night====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane arrive at Touka&#039;s private beach for vacation. After enjoying various activities, Touka offers them a reward if they can think of something fun for her to do. Learning from the housekeeper about a town festival featuring a unique ceremony, the group heads there but finds it canceled because a historic Coral Necklace went missing. The twins offer to help search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - One Fleeting Summer Night]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Investigating the hilltop shrine where the necklace was kept, Nemu concludes someone with a key took it, likely to cancel the festival since the other ceremonial item remains safe. At the ocean shrine cave, the twins sense an unsettling presence and receive a vision of crying twin girls before the shrine door mysteriously opens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the plaza, Tsukasa finds a fragment of a shrine maiden&#039;s hairpin. The elder accuses one of the maidens of stealing the necklace. When confronted, the maiden flees to the hilltop shrine and smashes the necklace rather than return it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the group returns to the cave to see light-reflecting moss. The twins experience another vision of twin girls speaking of not wanting to be left to die. They resolve to investigate further the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The twins visit the village elder and offer to serve as substitute shrine maidens. He reluctantly agrees, and an older villager gives them ornate hair ornaments traditionally given to newborn girls. Nemu reveals the town once sacrificed children to appease a sea god, and those children became the gods honored in the ceremony.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the twins try to explain their visions, the others are skeptical. Before they can prove anything, the elder rushes them to begin the ceremony early. At the hilltop shrine, villagers restrain them and remove their Soul Gem rings. The Magius fight through but cannot reach the twins in time as the elder pushes them off a cliff into the ocean.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sinking and weakening, the twins receive a final vision from the sacrificed twin girls, who speak of wanting their suffering to be seen and their fates changed. The Amanes awaken on the beach to learn a Witch appeared when they fell. After its defeat, all villagers lost consciousness. The Pearl Comb was shattered, making the ceremony impossible to complete.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The exhausted twins relax on the beach, having not slept. Tsukasa wonders if the gifted hair clip saved them. Though saddened that no one will remember the sacrificed girls, the twins resolve to change the fates of all Magical Girls. The elder and shrine maiden apologize, and Touka promises to take them to another of her family&#039;s vacation homes as a reward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Karin wonders why Alina got angry. She decides to find someone more talented for the wolf role. She bumps into Kyoko hunting a witch. Kyoko tells Karin not to push responsibilities onto others.

====Alina Is Comin’ to Town====&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Alina fuses with the Rumor of the Fur God despite Mifuyu&#039;s warnings, becoming Holy Alina to drain life force for her art. She targets a mother and child, but the situation backfires when she inadvertently stops a kidnapping, earning police gratitude instead of harvesting any energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Alina is Comin&#039; to Town]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Meanwhile, Alina detects a man with a bomb who plans to blow up a building. When she sees Mifuyu enter that same building, Alina rushes to save her.

** Mifuyu updates Alina on the twins&#039; miraculous reunion. Examining a black card, Alina notices a happy face stamp emanating magic. At Fenthope, she deduces another Rumor is interfering: the Rumor of the Happy Stamp, which appears at Christmastime and overrides the Fur God&#039;s power, causing joy instead. Alina decides to stop using the Fur God Rumor, as it only wastes her energy, and transforms back to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the twins sneak into a children&#039;s hospital to leave gifts. Tsukasa carefully avoids a bell trap, but Tsukuyo is caught by awakened children.

&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Festive Feast====&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year&#039;s Day, Kanagi and Mitama meet at the Daito shrine to pray together and enjoy the carnival. Mitama wears a kimono borrowed from Yachiyo, and after a hint from Mitama, Kanagi praises her outfit, making Mitama smile at sharing her first New Year&#039;s shrine visit with a friend. They make wishes, draw &amp;quot;Great Luck&amp;quot; fortunes, and tour the stalls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Festive Feast]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a takoyaki stall, they meet Seika, Mito, and Reira, who invite them to join a &amp;quot;New Year&#039;s Soup Event&amp;quot; where participants solve riddles to earn soup ingredients. Mitama accepts the challenge, and though they never actually solve the intended riddles, they help a fishmonger, calm Himika&#039;s little brother with a lion dance, and retrieve Riko&#039;s lost dog. In gratitude, they receive red and white fish cakes, Feral Sauce, and fried chicken. They return to the stall, and the girls share their soup with them anyway. Mitama enjoys it so much she gets the recipe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Iroha and Tsuruno show off their kimonos, dressed with Yachiyo&#039;s help. Felicia bursts in with an invitation from Mitama to an afternoon party. Despite Felicia&#039;s protests about Mitama&#039;s cooking, Iroha convinces everyone to attend together, and they arrive at Mitama&#039;s with vast amounts of food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party begins with Mitama greeting guests. When asked about her own dishes, she proudly displays her bento boxes. Momoko bravely volunteers to try one, declares it good, wolfs it down, and promptly passes out. Mitama announces mochi-pounding, and Felicia eagerly swings the mallet, nearly crushing Sana&#039;s hands. Yachiyo discovers Mitama used &amp;quot;World&#039;s Stickiest&amp;quot; rice flour, and everyone finds creative ways to prepare the resulting mochi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama brings out soup she made earlier. To everyone&#039;s surprise, it tastes delicious. Mitama admits Iroha and Yachiyo helped but says she added a secret ingredient from her earlier adventures. Everyone praises it, and Mitama declares she will add her own customizations. Despite warnings, she returns with fried chicken and Feral Sauce, dropping them into the soup. The resulting soup burns everyone&#039;s eyes with spiciness, but they recover and enjoy the remaining good food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After guests leave, Kanagi arrives to help clean, but Mitama declines, explaining everyone already helped. They walk together as Kanagi heads to her maid café shift. Mitama shares that her party was a hit, and she now dreams of improving her cooking to make people happy. Kanagi cautions her to use ingredients fit for human consumption.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha returns alone, inviting Mitama to join them for photos at Mizuna shrine while they are all dressed in kimonos. Mitama, realizing how blessed she is with kind friends, accepts. At the shrine, a stranger takes their photo, and Yachiyo thanks Mitama for joining. They take another photo of just the four of them, then everyone decides to get candy apples together. Mitama smiles and agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====This Year&#039;s Aspirations for Brush Dyeing!====&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year&#039;s Day, the Mikazuki Villa residents share their first dreams over breakfast, with Felicia dreaming of a scolding cow, Sana dreaming of becoming a houseplant, and Yachiyo dreaming of eating too much mochi. Tsuruno arrives with homemade food but cannot remember her dream, so the group decides to visit the park based on Iroha&#039;s vague dream about something lucky happening there. When nothing special occurs and Yachiyo realizes she forgot her wallet, Iroha finds a 500 yen coin in her pocket, which is just enough to buy beans for the red-bean soup they wanted. They return home to make and enjoy the soup together, and Yachiyo reflects that while big luck is rare, small bits of luck can be found each day and should be appreciated throughout the year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;luckyny&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - New Year Lucky Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Iroha encounter Mitama while out with Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana, Tsuruno, Sayaka, and Homura. Mitama suggests they do something fitting for the holiday, and Yachiyo proposes kakizome, the first calligraphy of the year. Felicia protests that it sounds boring, but Yachiyo tempts her with the promise of sukiyaki for dinner if she writes properly, quickly changing her mind. The group agrees, and Yachiyo announces the theme: this year&#039;s resolution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - This Year&#039;s Aspirations for Brush Dyeing!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka finishes first, having written &amp;quot;Get to know everyone better,&amp;quot; explaining that she wants to be someone who can truly understand and support the people she meets. Iroha is inspired by her words and writes &amp;quot;Don&#039;t be afraid to ask for help,&amp;quot; realizing she doesn&#039;t have to shoulder everything alone. Yachiyo presents her resolution, &amp;quot;Wishing for good health and safety at home,&amp;quot; admitting it may be cliché but sincerely believing in the fortune of staying healthy and avoiding disaster. Mitama first jokes with &amp;quot;Prosperous business&amp;quot; before revealing her true wish, &amp;quot;Everyone getting along well,&amp;quot; which Yachiyo acknowledges is not an easy hope to fulfill.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia struggles with her first attempt, writing &amp;quot;I want to eat meat,&amp;quot; but knows Yachiyo will be angry. She notices Homura also staring at a blank sheet, unable to decide if writing her true feelings is appropriate. Felicia encourages her to be honest, and Homura writes &amp;quot;Become a stronger me.&amp;quot; Grateful for the help, Felicia reworks her resolution into something positive, settling on &amp;quot;Earn Yachiyo&#039;s praise.&amp;quot; Tsuruno proudly reveals her goal, &amp;quot;Escape from 50 points,&amp;quot; explaining she wants to steadily improve rather than chase unreachable heights. Sana shows her resolution, &amp;quot;Show more initiative,&amp;quot; expressing her desire to protect everyone at Mikazuki Villa and stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka panics upon realizing everyone else has finished, struggling to find a resolution that isn&#039;t solely about being a magical girl. Her thoughts drift to Kyosuke against her will, and Mitama teases her about writing something love-related. Flustered, Sayaka denies having feelings for anyone, though internally she admits she wants to do her best in love too. Unable to confess that truth, she hastily writes &amp;quot;Do my best,&amp;quot; declaring she will work hard in all sorts of ways this year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With everyone finished, they tidy up and Felicia eagerly anticipates the sukiyaki. Mitama laments that she, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno won&#039;t be able to submit theirs since it&#039;s not homework for them, calling it a waste. Yachiyo suggests displaying them at home for the New Year, and Tsuruno proposes putting up everyone&#039;s resolutions. When Yachiyo worries about the inconvenience for Madoka&#039;s group to retrieve them later, they assure her they plan to visit Kamihama again anyway. They hang all the calligraphy together, each resolution on display, and everyone wishes each other a good year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mel reads a classmate&#039;s fortune about love, but Yachiyo angrily reminds her that fortune telling is banned because Mel&#039;s magic shapes reality rather than predicting it. When Mel asks what love actually is, Yachiyo and Mifuyu struggle to answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami shops for ingredients with Kyoko&#039;s help, worried her Valentine&#039;s chocolate won&#039;t be special enough. Kaede hopes her gifts to Rena and Momoko will be the best they receive.

Emiri searches all day, falls asleep in the mountains, and wakes to find a truffle pointed out by a mysterious old man. Kyoko brings Sayaka and Homura to Sugar Plum, and Sumomo refuses Kyubey&#039;s contract after Kyoko shares her own tragic story. Riko investigates Mokeo with Tsukasa&#039;s help. Felicia secretly makes chocolate with Iroha and eventually reveals she made it for her found family at Mikazuki Villa because Valentine&#039;s Day is for conveying feelings to important people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week before Valentine&#039;s Day, Manaka creates fourteen prototypes but feels burned out. After criticism from Ria and Mayu, she decides to make a chocolate ring that looks like real jewelry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Manaka completes the chocolate ring, but the student council member rejects it, explaining that candy can never be actual jewelry and that she chose chocolate because the truth is always by its side. Manaka collapses from exhaustion and wakes in the hospital with her spirit broken. Mayu suggests that the frame is just as important as the picture, inspiring Manaka to turn down the commission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Valentine&#039;s Day, Manaka helps the student council member make her own chocolate instead.

** Hinano makes chocolates for her crush but hesitates to deliver it after hearing he admires an older girl type. After encountering her crush in a witch&#039;s barrier and saving him, Hinano confesses her feelings, only to be rejected but still remains grateful for the experience.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;1stval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano====&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before a science event, a White Feather from the Wings of Magius informs Mitama Yakumo that a higher-up will be visiting and she should complete any necessary business when they arrive. Mitama says she will be prepared.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day, Hinano Miyako accidentally fills her science club room with gas during experiment preparations, forcing her to use her gas mask. She reflects on a previous incident as she cleans up for the next day&#039;s event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hinano explains her mishap to her audience, and her assistant Emiri Kisaki steals the punchline by emphasizing the importance of perfect preparation. Afterward, Emiri learns Hinano was attempting to create a height-increasing drug—the same goal that led to a near-fatal accident five years ago and her contract with Kyubey. Emiri makes Hinano promise to stop dangerous experiments, but Hinano immediately breaks this promise and sneaks back to continue her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Emiri rushes an unconscious Hinano to Mitama&#039;s place. Hinano had drunk her experimental drug and collapsed from violent stomach pains. After purification, Hinano explains her dream: as a child, she admired a long-legged older girl who hosted science events, and she wanted to become that kind of dashing figure. Emiri reveals her own wish was a spur-of-the-moment desire to be the cutest little devil possible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano&#039;s unresolved feelings cause her Soul Gem to corrupt, and she is suddenly pulled into a barrier. A shadowy version of herself appears, claiming to be the pure crystallization of her aspirations. It transforms into her Doppel—a poison monster wearing an attractive lab coat with long legs. Hinano hears Emiri&#039;s telepathic voice shouting that she does not want to part with her, giving her strength. She realizes that while she failed to become a mature figure, her approachable appearance helped her meet Emiri and make friends. The shadow asks if she will give up her research, and Hinano declares she will continue with a completely safe version. The barrier vanishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Hinano and Emiri leave, Alina Gray appears and confirms she created the barrier to contain Hinano&#039;s Doppel and protect Mitama. Mitama offers adjustment as thanks, asking Alina to continue favoring her business.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!====&lt;br /&gt;
* As Yachiyo makes lunch, Felicia barges in with a flyer announcing that Mitama is trying her hand at professional photography and offering free photos for one day only. The others are surprised, having heard nothing about this, but they agree to go and take a team photo since they have nothing else planned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s makeshift studio, she admits they are her only customers and shows off a new camera she bought because the advertisement claimed it would make anyone a pro photographer. When she starts taking photos, however, every attempt fails spectacularly, producing bizarre images like Madoka with people jumping from a plane and Homura posing with a lion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Frustrated, Mitama declares she will quit being an adjuster to devote herself to photography, but the girls protest that everyone in Kamihama would be in trouble without her. They reassure her that they trust her, and Tsuruno adds that she would not have become the strongest without Mitama&#039;s help. Mitama relents and agrees to remain an adjuster, though she will continue practicing photography in her free time. Later, a successful group photo of both Iroha and Madoka&#039;s teams is shown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama====&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama Yakumo invites a surprising number of magical girls to her place for an event she calls the &amp;quot;Great Mitama Thanksgiving.&amp;quot; When she finally arrives, she reveals that the gathering is actually a quiz tournament about herself, with the winner receiving a free adjustment session and the title of &amp;quot;Mitama&#039;s Perfect Lover.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz begins with multiple choice questions, and wrong answers trigger a trap door beneath the contestant, though cushions soften the fall. The first question asks Mitama&#039;s actual age, and Tsuruno guesses incorrectly, landing her in the trap. The second question asks whether Mitama&#039;s cooking is delicious, and when Felicia and Manaka both guess wrong, Mitama confirms that the correct answer is that her food is indeed delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz continues through several rounds, eliminating more contestants along the way. When the ninth question asks about Mitama&#039;s favorite movie, Ria guesses incorrectly and is eliminated for insulting the film&#039;s actress. Sana is also eliminated when Mitama takes pity on her after she panics over Iroha&#039;s safety, and Mitama confirms that &amp;quot;Pacifistic Hayashi&amp;quot; was the correct answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama admits she has run out of questions but still has many competitors remaining, so she decides to draw lots to pick a winner instead. Momoko asks why Mitama held the event in the first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama remembers a time where she tried using her magic to defeat a familiar on her own, and that even if her services are no longer needed, she can still protect herself. She has obtained the magic to keep living that she never had before, and if she ever had to abandon her neutrality, she could use it to help someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Mitama explains that she held the event because something good happened to her. The other girls sense a Witch and leave to hunt it, and Mitama tells them to draw their lots later. Alone, she wonders who she should use her power on when she eventually decides to stop being neutral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====I&#039;m the Star of this Show!====&lt;br /&gt;
* One night, Ria Ami receives a call from her manager about a fashion show that wants her as the prestigious last guest. The theme is &amp;quot;dressing in stylish uniforms.&amp;quot; Ria eagerly accepts, imagining Mayu Kozue praising her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - I&#039;m the Star of this Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Ria dreams. On the day of the fashion show, she runs into a Witch. Kyoko Sakura appears in the barrier. Mistaking Kyoko for a fan, Ria tries to show off, but Kyoko tells her to stay out of the way. They fight. Ria leaves the barrier and finds she has missed the show completely. Horrified, she wakes up. It was only a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, she and Asuka Tatsuki arrive to cheer. Asuka reveals she has been practicing for this day. During the event, Asuka cheers for Ria like it is a sports event. Ria knows she means no harm but feels embarrassed, as if Asuka is ruining the event. She wakes up again. Another dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, just as she is about to go on stage, the power cuts out. Though it quickly returns, the audience&#039;s enthusiasm has diminished. Ria blames herself for being unable to overcome the outage. She wakes up, realizing she has been dreaming about the show every single night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual day of the show, Ria pinches her cheek to make sure it is real. She stumbles into a Witch barrier, and Kyoko appears just as in her dreams. This time, Ria tells Kyoko she can take the credit for killing the Witch. Ria leaves and meets Asuka and Mayu. When she learns Asuka has practiced cheering, Ria explains that fashion shows have their own etiquette and promises to send her details later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just before Ria&#039;s turn on stage, the power cuts out for real. Ria decides to make it part of the show. She asks the audience to get out their penlights and turn them all on her when she gives the signal. Her improvisation is a complete success, though she wishes she could have shown her perfect walk. She thinks she is feeling the best feeling in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls are surprised to learn that Felicia scored fifty-two points on a test, and she asks for a reward. Yachiyo deems her request to go to MooMoo Park too expensive and instead promises a fancy dinner the next day, which satisfies Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha discovers that Tsuruno left her phone in the refrigerator and offers to return it while Yachiyo goes to a photo shoot. During breakfast, a commercial for MooMoo Park airs on television.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After breakfast, Felicia shows Sana the park commercial on her phone and admits she still wants to go, so she drags Sana along to catch animals at a riverbank. Meanwhile, Iroha returns Tsuruno&#039;s phone and helps out at her family&#039;s restaurant. At the riverbank, Felicia finds a small turtle, but Ayame Mikuri appears and accuses her of harassment. The two magical girls fight, and Felicia releases the turtle to protect it before running off, leaving Sana behind. Yachiyo finds Sana on her way home and learns what happened, then invites her to lunch. Felicia returns to the house, still angry at Ayame, and takes a nap after lunch. She dreams that the turtle thanks her and promises something at the riverbank, so she wakes and goes out to find it. She returns with a ticket for two to MooMoo Park. The others reveal that Iroha also received a ticket from Tsuruno&#039;s father, and Yachiyo got one at a meat store, so everyone can now go together. The girls happily resolve to visit the park and enjoy their dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of====&lt;br /&gt;
* An old lady asks Kanagi Izumi for a deli recommendation, and Kanagi suggests the potato soup and meat skewers, knowing the customer&#039;s daughter loves them. When the lady asks if this is truly Kanagi&#039;s last day, Kanagi confirms it and expresses regret at not seeing her again. At the end of her shift, Kanagi thanks her boss and coworkers, who are sad to see her go, but she needs higher pay to support her family and the grocery store cannot match her new job&#039;s wages.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives home later than usual due to a going-away party, and her father apologizes for not working enough to provide, though Kanagi is happy to help. He worries about her new job being radically different from her previous work, but Kanagi believes it is worth it since the pay means she can quit her second job and have more free time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi starts her new job at a maid café and impresses her coworker by already having a parfait ready. Despite learning the kitchen pace quickly, the hall is understaffed, and when the manager offers to help, Kanagi replies &amp;quot;Yes, sir!&amp;quot; only to be corrected that the manager prefers to be called &amp;quot;madam.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the rush, the head maid wishes for another maid, and the manager asks Kanagi to try working the floor for a raise. Kanagi&#039;s eyes widen at the salary and she accepts, receiving the maid nickname &amp;quot;Maid Nagitan.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid reviews basics with Kanagi, who feels confident due to her customer service background and sees this as a life-or-death matter to earn more for her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika Kumi, Reira Ibuki, and Mito Aino enter, and Kanagi greets them with a serious look and curt &amp;quot;welcome,&amp;quot; leaving them surprised by her cold, soldier-like demeanor. When Mito asks if she is really a maid, Kanagi introduces herself as Maid Nagitan and shakes Mito&#039;s hand firmly, causing Seika to freeze up. Later, when Reira asks if she will do &amp;quot;the thing&amp;quot; of adding love to the food, Kanagi misinterprets and says she cannot profess love to strangers, leaving the girls let down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At another table, a customer also wants &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; but Kanagi declines, saying she is no liar. The head maid intervenes and reminds Kanagi this is a maid café, explaining their job is creating a fun atmosphere. Kanagi returns to the trio&#039;s table and notices Seika staring, misinterpreting it as a staring contest. They stare at each other until Seika faints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid calls Kanagi completely hopeless and explains a maid&#039;s worth comes from tending to others, telling her to return to the kitchen if she cannot take the work seriously. The manager offers a one-week trial period: if Kanagi improves by week&#039;s end, she stays a maid. Kanagi vows to work with every fiber of her being.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Karin Misono finishes reading &amp;quot;Detective Maid Mei&amp;quot; and notices Kanagi slumped on a swing, muttering about what makes a good maid. Karin recognizes her as the boss of the East and, seeing an opportunity for her manga, asks Kanagi to tell her everything. Karin lends her the Detective Maid Mei manga for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Kanagi reads the manga and notes how the maid greets masters warmly, respects their decisions, and lets the master grow when needed. At the end, the maid strikes a pose. Kanagi meets Karin at the park to return the manga and heads to work with Karin tagging along for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the café, two boys enter and Kanagi greets them warmly as masters, surprising them with her &amp;quot;cool but kind&amp;quot; demeanor. The head maid smiles at her improvement. Kanagi serves Karin a Lovely Rice Omelet, and when Karin suggests she draw on it with ketchup, Kanagi tries to draw a kirin but it looks like a weird animal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Two more customers arrive, Aimi Eri and Natsuki Utsuho. Kanagi serves them and offers to draw on their omelets, writing Aimi&#039;s crush&#039;s name with hearts on her plate. As she leaves, Karin motions for her, and Kanagi does the manga pose, telling them to let her take care of any problems. At day&#039;s end, the head maid notes Kanagi&#039;s huge improvement but says it is too early to celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The final test begins, and the manager outlines that Kanagi must please the next returning customer, ensuring the master leaves with a smile. The door jingles as Konomi Haruna enters, distressed to find herself in a maid café. Kanagi greets her warmly and shows her to a seat despite the manager&#039;s concern.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi orders the Maid&#039;s Special Herbal Blend after Kanagi&#039;s recommendation, but when Kanagi offers to play a game then arm wrestle, Konomi panics, drinks quickly, pays, and leaves. The manager agrees that Kanagi should return to the kitchen as promised. Kanagi walks home alone, bothered by something beyond the wage cut.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi is back in the kitchen, and the kitchen staff is delighted. At day&#039;s end, the head maid tells her the staff appreciated her return, and Kanagi wonders why no one said they were glad when she worked as a maid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager notices her expression and encourages her to think until she is satisfied with the answer. Kanagi decides to find Konomi and ask what she lacked, recalling her school uniform.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi enters Konomi&#039;s flower shop, and Konomi is shocked. Kanagi asks what she lacked as a maid, but Konomi apologizes for assuming Kanagi was scary due to East-West history. She explains she entered by mistake, but Kanagi was considerate, made a helpful suggestion, and offered to ease her anxiety. It felt like Kanagi was doing it just for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi realizes that is what she was lacking: taking into account what the other person wants and responding to it. At the park, Kanagi reflects that customers come to enjoy the atmosphere and it is her job to consider whether it is worthwhile for them. She berates herself for making masters uncomfortable. Karin finds her and insists she should keep being a maid, offering to talk to the manager. Kanagi smiles and asks for a different favor instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi approaches the manager for a second chance, proposing she serve the same three customers who left when Seika fainted. The manager agrees to let her try. Karin finds Reira and Seika at a park and extends an invitation for them to return so Nagitan can make it up to them. Reira agrees, and Karin hands them invitations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio enters the café with Seika frozen, and Kanagi greets them warmly and shows them to their table. Kanagi serves their omelets, and when Mito asks if they were made with love, Kanagi admits she could not be dishonest but offers to draw with ketchup instead. She gives Mito the bottle to draw while Kanagi draws on Mito&#039;s plate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They play rock-paper-scissors, and Reira explains Seika is very shy and fainted because she had to make eye contact with someone new. Seika&#039;s class is doing a maid café for the school festival and she wanted to do her best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika admits she thought Kanagi was so confident she lost her own confidence. Kanagi points to the head maid as the ideal and explains she herself could never be like that, so she tries her best in her own way, encouraging Seika to find her own style. Seika smiles and asks for a picture. Kanagi agrees if her face is hidden, and before they leave, she does her signature pose and tells Seika to remember it when nervous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager calls Kanagi over and offers her the maid position, noting she learned something important. Kanagi says she wants to keep being a maid, not just for the paycheck, but to use what she learned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day at the café, Kanagi serves drinks and poses for pictures with a face mask, her fans cheering. Karin calls for her to do &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; and the café erupts yelling &amp;quot;Nagitan!&amp;quot; Karin and Kanagi walk home, and when Kanagi asks about her manga, Karin realizes she never drew it. Kanagi offers to help, but when Karin asks if she will do the pose, Kanagi reminds her she is off the clock. Karin looks down sadly as Kanagi returns to being serious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia====&lt;br /&gt;
* During the day, Felicia eats Tsuruno&#039;s ice candy without realizing it was hers because she cannot read kanji. Tsuruno reprimands Yachiyo when she learns Yachiyo knew and was preparing to buy a replacement. Yachiyo states it is impossible to guard the fridge constantly. Felicia, overwhelmed with guilt and anger that no one listens to her confession, loses control and flips the kitchen table before locking herself in her room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Felicia has a nightmare. She dreams her falling grades caused a huge argument between her parents, who blamed each other for neglecting her. Both ignore her confession and promise to try harder. Her mother storms back to the kitchen to cook. Felicia recalls that a Witch attacked immediately after, killing her parents, and she wakes up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She goes to the kitchen for water, but Iroha is there and points out she looks pale. Iroha tells her to rest and offers to bring water to her room. Felicia loses her temper and storms out of the house. Iroha wakes the others to find her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Felicia hears a voice claiming to be her. The voice pulls her into a barrier, where another Felicia lures her toward a locked box, revealing itself as her Doppel. Felicia nearly opens the box but remembers Yachiyo&#039;s words about some things being best left unknown. Her instincts tell her she is not ready.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She promises her Doppel she will return when she is stronger and hopes it can hold the truth for her. The Doppel accepts and returns to normal. Felicia wakes up at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo inform her they found her unconscious in the park. Felicia tells them about the encounter and her desire to become strong enough to fulfill her promise. Mitama offers a free power-up session to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha recalls they found Felicia releasing her Doppel in the park before losing consciousness. Yachiyo notes this has never happened before. She remembers that Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane once said Doppels are materialized emotions. Yachiyo concludes Felicia carries a heavy burden and tells Iroha to keep this secret until Felicia either realizes it herself or becomes strong enough to handle the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

** Shinobu Oshino, originally a legendary vampire in her world, she became the &amp;quot;Immortal Magical Girl&amp;quot; by wishing &amp;quot;I wish to die.&amp;quot; However, as a result, the prey she hunts become nourishment for her and her life span extends instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shinobubio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino#Game Info|Shinobu&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi Hachikuji became a &amp;quot;labyrinth Magical Girl&amp;quot; with the wish “I wish to return home.” With her excellent defense, she could cause the enemy’s attack to avoid her, as if it had lost its way, but for some reason, she could never reach her mother’s house.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayoibio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji#Game Info|Mayoi&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hitagi Senjougahara became a &amp;quot;gravitational Magical Girl,&amp;quot; who seized the weight of the object attacked by her hammer. The more she seized, the more massive her hammer grew, and was strengthened. Her wish was “Please give me memories.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hitagibio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hitagi Senjougahara#Game Info|Hitagi&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suruga Kanbaru became a &amp;quot;pioneer Magical Girl,&amp;quot; where she was fused with her motorbike after her transformation. Although she was the star who led Naoetsu High School&#039;s basketball club to the national tournament, she frequently made dangerous actions and comments.

&lt;br /&gt;
* Shinobu Oshino, Mayoi Hachikuji and Yotsugi Ononoki hunt a Witch together. Shinobu begins her dramatic introduction and finishing move, but Yotsugi defeats the Witch with a simple &amp;quot;Hyah&amp;quot; and Mayoi lands the final blow with &amp;quot;Yah.&amp;quot; Shinobu is annoyed at their failure to call out special moves. Shinobu argues that calling out attacks is the essence of being a Magical Girl, but Yotsugi dismisses this as an outdated trope. Shinobu retorts that refusing to act the part is dumb, and Yotsugi reluctantly agrees. Shinobu declares they need training to act more befitting of Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Shinobu&#039;s Heartphial Story: Shinobu Spells]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shinobu demonstrates by striking a pose and delivering her lines with perfect timing. When Yotsugi tries, her performance is terrible. Shinobu forces her to try again, and Yotsugi reluctantly says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; but finds it unpleasant and refuses to repeat it. Mayoi asks Shinobu to help her come up with lines. After a few stumbles, she declares, &amp;quot;I, Mayoi Hachikuji, hereby condemn those Witches who seek to ravage this earth!&amp;quot; Shinobu finds it charming, and Mayoi admits leaning into the Magical Girl thing is fun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They enter a real Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Mayoi messes up her line again but turns it into an improvised bit while evading attacks. Yotsugi delivers a longer speech and says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; landing the attack. Shinobu finishes the Witch with her full finishing move. After the battle, morning comes. Shinobu declares the training will continue, but Yotsugi walks away. Mayoi distracts Shinobu by suggesting breakfast, and Shinobu wants donuts. Yachiyo, out for an early walk, overhears them and decides she wants donuts too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa and helps Yachiyo prepare breakfast. Sana joins them, but when she goes to wake Felicia, she finds Felicia’s room empty and her shoes gone; Felicia’s phone is also out of service. Worried, Yachiyo calls Tsuruno for help, and the group splits up to search the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part I: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the search, Iroha’s Soul Gem reacts to a nearby Witch. Inside the labyrinth, they encounter two unfamiliar magical girls who are already fighting the Witch: Mayoi Hachikuji and Shinobu Oshino. After the Witch is defeated, introductions are exchanged. Mayoi and Shinobu explain they are traveling and looking for a lost friend named Yotsugi Ononoki, who has bluish‑green pigtails, a peculiar hat with eyes, and a frilly dress. The two groups exchange phone numbers to help each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Felicia has in fact met Yotsugi. Yotsugi buys her ice cream, and Felicia learns Yotsugi is also traveling. Felicia offers to show Yotsugi around town as thanks, taking her to the shopping street, a spot with cats, and a bench good for naps. Yotsugi finds everything unfamiliar and feels something is off, as if she has buttoned her shirt wrong. She shortens Felicia’s name to “Felly,” which makes Felicia happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha’s group eventually spots Felicia with Yotsugi. When Yachiyo hugs Felicia in relief, Felicia reacts as if she does not know any of them. She remembers Yachiyo only as a famous magical girl, but has no memory of living at Mikazuki Villa. The group realizes Felicia has lost her memories. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive and reunite with Yotsugi. Felicia refuses to go with Iroha’s group, accusing them of being kidnappers. Yotsugi offers a third option: Felicia can join their traveling team. Mayoi warns Felicia that if she chooses to leave with them, she will never return to the home that might be waiting for her. Felicia becomes confused and cries. Iroha proposes they all have dinner together at Mikazuki Villa first, so Felicia can calm down and decide later and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, Felicia asks Yotsugi what she likes to eat. Yotsugi admits a preference for expensive cup ice cream. Felicia awkwardly asks if Yotsugi&#039;s face is always stuck like that, and Yotsugi confirms it is. After arriving, Felicia eagerly tries to get Yotsugi to play video games, serves her extra portions of food, and challenges her to a pillow fight. Yotsugi excuses herself to take a bath, leaving Felicia disappointed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yotsugi Ononoki#Side Story|Yotsugi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Yotsugi Sister]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Felicia apologizes for being clingy, explaining that Yachiyo and the others pulled her aside to warn her. Felicia confesses she had been trying to make Yotsugi smile, assuming she had lost her parents like Felicia did. Yotsugi clarifies that her emotions simply do not show on her face, but she does feel them. She admits playing the game was fun and the food was not bad. Felicia is overjoyed and runs off to brag to everyone. Shinobu and Mayoi, who had been eavesdropping, tease Yotsugi for finding Felicia cute. Yotsugi concedes that Felicia is exhausting, but seeing her face light up from a drop of attention is not unpleasant. She gains newfound respect for all older sisters in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the villa, Shinobu requests doughnuts for dessert, and the group plays games. Yotsugi helps in the kitchen and notices the chicken meat has a nice springy firmness. During dinner, the group shares memories of how they met Felicia. Felicia still does not remember, but Shinobu points out the stories are too detailed to be lies. Tsuruno suddenly does not remember buying coasters, revealing she may also have amnesia. Yotsugi then shifts the discussion: she reminds Shinobu that she walked in sunlight all day without harm, which should be impossible because Shinobu is actually a vampire. Shinobu’s memories return, and she declares herself the iron‑blooded, hot‑blooded, cold‑blooded vampire king of oddities. Mayoi also gets a headache and remembers she is not human either, and instead she is a snail oddity, a ghost. Yotsugi explains that she has felt uneasy calling herself a magical girl; she suspects this world is not the one she came from, as everything feels slightly different, like two paintings of the same image in different styles. She believes Shinobu, Mayoi, and herself came from another world. They conclude that a Witch may be behind the memory loss and false memories, and decide to hunt Witches the next day. Everyone stays the night at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mayoi plays Old Maid with Tsuruno, Felicia, Yotsugi, and Shinobu. Mayoi wins, but Yotsugi and Shinobu notice she seemed absent-minded. Mayoi asks Yachiyo if she can help with dinner, admitting she always wished she could cook with her mom. Yachiyo agrees and Mayoi joins Iroha and Sana in making dumplings, proving to be a natural. Yotsugi and Shinobu try but fail miserably. Mayoi boasts and declares herself the rightful leader of the little girls, sparking a three-way argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Mayoi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Mayoi Home]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno suggests playing a game to decide the leader, and Felicia wants to join. Shinobu insists Iroha must also participate. They play a life simulation board game. Mayoi starts strong but ends up broke and stranded in the Amazon. Iroha wins, and Mayoi declares her the official leader of the little girls, much to Iroha&#039;s confusion. Mayoi feels this has been the most fun she has had in a while, yet she cannot shake an uneasy feeling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After everyone decides to stay over, Yachiyo announces bath time. Mayoi suddenly bolts out of the house, claiming she will take a walk. Iroha chases after her and finds her safe. Mayoi apologizes and explains that the family moment overwhelmed her heart, so she left to do something familiar to settle herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi revisits her wish: after her parents&#039; divorce, she wished to go home. Being at Mikazuki Villa makes her feel like her wish has finally come true, yet she senses it is not the home she truly wants to return to. She remembers she is a ghost and wonders where exactly it is she wants to go back to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After they lay out futons in the living room, Shinobu reveals she is actually over 500 years old, and Mayoi was in fifth grade when she died, now mentally 21. Yotsugi still does not remember what she is. Felicia cannot sleep and goes outside. She sees a Witch appear suddenly, feels her head go foggy, and collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha again helps with breakfast. She feels a strange déjà vu, as if the same conversation has happened before. Sana again reports Felicia is missing. The group searches the town and again encounters Mayoi and Shinobu fighting a Witch. The same exchanges occur, but Iroha’s déjà vu grows stronger.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When they finally find Felicia, she is with Yotsugi and is annoyed that they took so long to show up. Yotsugi addresses Iroha by name without being introduced. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive. Iroha blurts out that everything feels like it has happened before. Yotsugi then explains: this is the second time they have met like this. Everyone suddenly remembers the previous day’s events of the dinner, the revelations about vampires and ghosts, and the time reset. Yotsugi says she felt the air warp after falling asleep, and when she woke up, she was back where she had been before meeting Felicia. Felicia recalls that before the reset, she saw a Witch outside Mikazuki Villa that made her dizzy and erased her memories. The group deduces that Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they discuss how to fight the Witch, Felicia’s stomach growls. They decide to return to the villa for dinner again, saving the battle for the next day. On the way, they stop at a supermarket for a snack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While walking home, a Witch suddenly appears and pulls Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi into a labyrinth. Felicia recognizes it as the same Witch from the reset. The Witch ignores both Iroha and Felicia, focusing all its attacks on Yotsugi. It dodges Felicia’s hammer and lands a clean hit, cutting Yotsugi’s body into pieces. Iroha and Felicia are horrified. As the Witch prepares to strike again, Yotsugi’s voice tells them to keep pretending to be sad. She instructs them to retreat and gather the pieces of her body. They do so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside the labyrinth, Yotsugi puts herself back together as if nothing happened. She reveals that when she took the hit, she regained her true memories. Back at Mikazuki Villa, she explains to everyone: she is a hundred‑year‑old tsukumogami made from a human body, both a doll oddity and a corpse oddity. She has no heart and has always been dead. This is why the Witch’s power of suggestion, which works by influencing emotions, does not affect her as much. She also notes that the Witch let them escape because it was angry at Yotsugi for helping everyone remember the first loop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yotsugi attacks Shinobu. Shinobu blocks the strike. When asked why, Yotsugi coldly says, “Would you mind dying for me real quick?”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt; Yotsugi’s sudden attack on Shinobu was not betrayal but a calculated shock: she remembered that when the Witch cut her into pieces, the trauma restored her own original memories. She reasons that a sufficiently strong physical blow can break through the memory manipulation. Shinobu’s severed leg instantly regenerates as her vampiric powers return, proving the method works. Without warning, Yotsugi then punches Mayoi, knocking her unconscious. When Mayoi wakes, her memories also return, which is triggered by the keyword “lost.” Mayoi explains that their false magical girl powers and wishes were implanted by the Witch, and that they are not inhabitants of this world. She then proposes a new theory: the Kamihama girls did not lose their memories; rather, they come from different points in their own timeline and simply haven’t experienced the shared past yet. Felicia is devastated, fearing she will never have a family again, but Iroha and the others reassure her that in every timeline they will end up together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part II: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, after everyone has gone to sleep, Shinobu summons Yotsugi and Mayoi outside. She admits she does not fully trust Iroha’s group, as they could be the Witch’s minions or mere plot devices. She reveals there may be another way to return to their original world, but she does not elaborate immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group splits up to hunt the elusive Witch. They repeatedly enter labyrinths of other Witches, wasting time. Felicia grows increasingly frustrated, nearly charging into unrelated fights. Yachiyo observes that the Witch seems to want them to fight, so any peaceful, fun activity risks a reset, which is why the first reset happened after their happy dinner and games. She concludes that the Witch is like a director forcing them to act out a “magical girls fighting” plot. Iroha suggests they deliberately provoke the Witch by acting against that plot, hoping to lure it out. However, Yotsugi warns that straying too far might trigger another reset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo formally presents her three‑point theory: (1) The Witch did not pursue them when they fled, (2) it never removed their magical girl powers, and (3) the resets happen when they relax instead of fight. Everyone agrees the plan is to provoke the Witch into appearing. Shinobu then insists on going sightseeing the next day, arguing that one more reset will weaken the Witch’s power further. Despite concerns about resetting again, Tsuruno enthusiastically supports the idea, and the group reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group spends the morning and afternoon touring Kamihama: the radio tower, the school (which they sneak into), an arcade where Yotsugi plays rhythm games with a completely blank expression, and the shopping mall where Shinobu demands to find a donut shop. Tsuruno saves the family restaurant, Banbanzai, for last. As they approach, Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi sense the Witch charging straight at them. The familiar dizziness overcomes everyone, and the world resets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Several hours after the reset, Yotsugi again restores everyone’s memories, as her immunity to the Witch’s suggestion means she still remembers everything. The group notes that more people felt déjà vu this time, suggesting the Witch is weakening. That night, Shinobu privately tells Yotsugi and Mayoi her true alternative plan: she will kill the Kamihama magical girls and consume their power, believing that enough strength will allow her to tear open a gate back to their world. Yotsugi and Mayoi agree to help, though Mayoi is conflicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the town feels eerily deserted. The Witch’s labyrinth is sparse, with only familiars. Following Shinobu’s earlier secret instruction, the group begins shouting insults at the Witch to provoke it. Suddenly, Shinobu strikes Felicia from behind, seemingly killing her. Yachiyo and Tsuruno are horrified. Shinobu, Yotsugi, and Mayoi reveal their betrayal: they intend to slaughter everyone to gain power for a gate home. A brutal fight erupts. Mayoi uses her ability to redirect Yachiyo’s spear attack, causing it to hit Iroha and Sana, who also fall. Tsuruno is overwhelmed, and Yachiyo is mortally wounded. Shinobu stands alone, gloating, but then the “dead” girls suddenly rise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** It was all an act. The group had secretly planned this staged betrayal during the previous night, communicating via handwritten notes to avoid the Witch overhearing. Sana, who makes picture books, wrote the script. The plan had multiple layers: first, they deliberately triggered a second reset by going sightseeing to weaken the Witch; second, they staged a believable in‑fighting scenario to lure the Witch out, because if all the “actors” disappear, the Witch’s story cannot continue. The Witch falls for the trap and appears, enraged by the deception. A full‑scale battle begins. The group coordinates: Iroha and Sana herd familiars for Yotsugi’s “Unlimited Rulebook”; Yachiyo, Shinobu, and Iroha immobilize the Witch; Tsuruno guides Mayoi’s errant drill attack with her flames, piercing the Witch’s front camera. When that does not destroy the labyrinth, Yachiyo and Shinobu realize the front camera was a decoy: the true weak spot is the film at the back. Felicia, launched by Yotsugi like a bullet, smashes the drill deeper, and Yachiyo and Shinobu destroy the film. The labyrinth dissolves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the world fades to mist, Felicia breaks down crying. She does not want this world to end because at Mikazuki Villa she finally felt like she had a family again, and she fears returning to her own timeline where she will be alone. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Sana hug her, promising that no matter the world or timeline, they will surely live together again. Shinobu, Mayoi, and Yotsugi share an awkward, brief hug, concluding they are not the hugging type. Everyone exchanges farewells. Yotsugi tells Felicia, “I’m glad I met you, Felly.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa, yawning. Felicia teases her for sleeping late. Iroha recalls a long, strange dream, both fun and bittersweet, but the details fade upon waking. She only remembers that it was something really special. The day begins again, as if the adventure had never happened, except for the faint warmth left behind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede dreams of a garden where Momoko and Rena help her harvest fantastical vegetables. When she asks about the cream puff tree, Momoko shows her a basket full. The peace breaks when an apartment complex finishes construction behind them, destroying the garden. Kaede remembers this moment: her father announced a new building would block their sunlight, her mother worried they would lose their garden, and in despair, Kaede wished to stop the construction entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The dream shatters and a shadowy version of Kaede appears, accusing her of always running from difficulty. It reminds her she made her wish without considering the people who would have lived in that building, that she ran from Rena rather than face rejection, that she holds back in marathons and skips hard problems. The shadow urges her to keep running until she finds where she belongs and offers its hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kaede admits everything is true: she is weak and useless. But she insists she wants to stay with Momoko and Rena, the friends who matter to her. She asks her shadow to help her become better little by little. The shadow agrees, promising to watch from the garden of her heart. Kaede wakes at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains Kaede blacked out during a Witch battle. Kaede remembers hesitating to transform, a Familiar catching her off guard, and Rena crying out. When another Familiar attacked Rena, Kaede recalled a time Momoko was hurt because of her mistake. Believing herself useless, her Soul Gem turned pitch black. Now awake and purified, she chooses not to run. She asks to join Momoko and Rena, who went ahead to hunt the Witch. Mitama sends her off, confident she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Holiday Nyaprise!====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede asks Mikazuki Villa to watch a lost kitten while her family is away. After Felicia threatens to withhold bedtime hot cocoa, Yachiyo relents and Sana names the cat Gorojirou, or Sir Purrs-a-little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Holiday Nyaprise!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno visits daily to play, and when Gorojirou needs the restroom, Sana rushes it to the litter box just as Yachiyo calls them for lunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia chases the cat until Sana gives her a toy to lure it instead, and they eventually nap together on the couch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou has grown close to everyone, and Iroha tries taking its picture but accidentally films herself instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha shops, Sana watches the cat and Yachiyo admits she avoided getting attached because Gorojirou is temporary, but resolves to make its stay pleasant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou chews Felicia&#039;s favorite sticker, and though Felicia is angry, Sana reminds her the cat leaves tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede returns for Gorojirou, and everyone says a tearful goodbye. As they leave, the cat meows at Sana, who cries happily saying goodbye to her new best friend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Asuka finds herself in a cloud-filled void facing a shadowy version of herself who claims to be the hidden part of Asuka&#039;s heart. The shadow declares Asuka is no longer fit to practice Ryushin-ryu because her blade has been sullied by contracting as a Magical Girl. When Asuka protests, the shadow recounts how Asuka wished for her cousin to become a police officer after his dreams were jeopardized by their uncle&#039;s arrest, arguing that twisting fate with magic was selfish and wrong. The shadow insists that with her heart no longer true, Asuka walks a false path and should abandon her school, urging her to die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her despair, Asuka remembers her father&#039;s words about asking her own heart what is right, like water filling a square bowl. She tells the shadow that perceptions of right and wrong can change with the situation, and though she cannot refute the shadow&#039;s claims, she knows her heart believed her actions were just. Believing words alone cannot reach the shadow, Asuka challenges her to a fight to prove her blade&#039;s strength reflects her sincere heart. The shadow warns that slaying her means slaying herself, but Asuka declares she fears being untrue to herself more than death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their swords clash, and after a long battle, the shadow succumbs to Asuka&#039;s attack and acknowledges her blade was as pure as her heart. The shadow warns she may return in a different form if Asuka&#039;s heart becomes stained again, then vanishes. Asuka awakens near a pond deep in the forest, where she had gone to meditate as part of her training. She remembers the shadow&#039;s promise and considers asking Mitama what it all meant, but feels her father&#039;s words have been engraved in her more deeply now. With her resolve unwavering, she runs back to the dojo, taking a straight path out of the woods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka awakens to find herself in a strange, cloud-filled void. A shadowy copy of herself appears, introducing itself as the part of her she has suppressed deep within her heart. The shadow urges Nanaka to end her pursuit of vengeance, calling it a fruitless endeavor that changes nothing. Nanaka refuses, explaining that the act of revenge itself holds meaning for her, not the result. The shadow questions where vengeance has led her: a life of constant danger in an endless struggle against Witches. Nanaka admits there is nothing to gain from her actions, but her conviction remains unshakable. The shadow then accuses Nanaka of dragging Akira, Kako, and Meiyui into her vengeance, using them to fulfill her goals. Nanaka acknowledges this truth but insists she would never throw their lives away. She believes fate brought them together to fight a common enemy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka recalls the moments before she lost consciousness. Her team had cornered a Witch, but it disappeared and reappeared near a weakened Kako. Nanaka leaped in to shield her, and Akira and Meiyui joined the fight. The shadow suggests Nanaka protected Kako to redeem herself, but Nanaka denies this. The shadow warns it will continue watching from the depths of her heart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka awakens to find her teammates standing over her, relieved she is alive. The Witch is defeated. Nanaka tells Kako not to worry about anything, as they are teammates. Meiyui finds her choice of words unusual, but Akira insists Nanaka see Mitama for a checkup. Kako thanks Nanaka for protecting her. Nanaka smiles, thinking to herself that each of them is their own flower, supporting one another through their shared fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis====&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha announces that a cafe Yachiyo frequents has opened a new location near Mikazuki Villa, and the group decides to visit on opening day. They arrive to find it is actually a Curry House CoCo Ichibanya, and Yachiyo passionately explains the menu options as they wait for the store to open.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the store opens early, the employee announces they cannot open today due to a missing delivery truck carrying ingredients. The employee breaks down in tears, explaining her family came to see her first store opening. The group notices magical energy emanating from the store and decides to help find the truck, promising to return for curry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They investigate at the last store the truck visited. The employee there confirms the truck is missing but provides spare ingredients and explains that stores support each other in times of trouble. The group splits into two teams: one to gather ingredients from other stores, and one to trace the truck&#039;s route. During coordination, they learn a second CoCoIchi truck has also gone missing on the same road.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While gathering ingredients, Tsuruno&#039;s group encounters a lost, hungry girl who flees upon hearing CoCoIchi and nearly crashes into Sana. Afterward, Sana realizes the employee at the new store could see her despite her invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s group follows the road where both trucks disappeared and finds a Witch&#039;s barrier. Inside, they find both trucks and their drivers. Iroha and Ui engage the Witch&#039;s familiars while Yachiyo secures the drivers. Iroha realizes the Witch is targeting the cargo, so she throws curry ingredients at it, causing the Witch to abandon the fight and allowing them to defeat it easily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno calls with urgent news that the store employee is a Magical Girl, her missing little sister is also a Magical Girl, and she has not been able to contact her since yesterday. The group fears the curry-loving Witch they just defeated was the sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the new store, where the employee is preparing their reward curry. Before Iroha can confess, a girl rushes in calling for her sister. It is the employee&#039;s little sister, alive and well. The group realizes the Witch was simply a curry-loving Witch unrelated to the sister. They finally sit down to enjoy the promised curry together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui====&lt;br /&gt;
* Meiyui&#039;s family is helping organize a local event when a stranger stabs one of their members and flees, dropping a badge. Meiyui chooses to tend to the victim rather than give chase, despite his protests that she is being too soft.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many in the organization want revenge, but Meiyui refuses, not wanting to return to their old ways as an evil organization. The members are reluctant to involve the police due to being falsely accused of murder three years prior. Meiyui had contracted with Kyubey back then to expose the truth with her wish, but lingering distrust remains.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui goes alone to track the culprit. The dropped badge leads her to an abandoned company tied to illegal labor her family had helped shut down. After defeating a stray Witch, she is ambushed and kidnapped by a man with a taser.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She wakes handcuffed alongside about ten others. The kidnappers reveal the badge was a trap to lure her. They include a former police officer who had fabricated evidence against her family and associates of the real murderer from that case, all blaming the Blue Seas for ruining their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her Soul Gem is heavily tainted from the Witch fight, and she begins hearing her Doppel&#039;s voice. In a cloudy void, her shadow self insists she should have killed these enemies when she had the chance, arguing her organization cannot survive without dirtying their hands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Meiyui struggles to stay conscious, she uses her last energy to beg the culprits to leave her family alone, insisting they are not a bad group. The stabber dismisses her pleas and suggests killing her as a warning instead. Her Doppel mocks her, saying evil people will always exist no matter how sincerely she tries to live righteously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, her organization members arrive to rescue her. The stabbed victim is among them, now grateful Meiyui had stayed to help him instead of chasing revenge. He admits he used to believe abandoning burdens was the way of the world, but facing death alone showed him he was wrong. He is alive because of Meiyui&#039;s strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hearing this, Meiyui&#039;s mind clears. In the void, her Doppel asks if she is ready to kill them, but Meiyui rejects violence entirely. The Doppel submits, allowing her to put everyone in the area to sleep without bloodshed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The police soon arrive after the kidnapper, persuaded by Meiyui, confesses over the phone. They find several family members asleep everywhere and note a look of complete relief on Meiyui&#039;s sleeping face.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Little Bird&#039;s Star====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe and other Black Feathers are in Fendt Hope, commiserating about their weakness. A White Feather had to bail them out after they were followed by a Witch while delivering a parcel from Mitama&#039;s shop. They discuss Yachiyo Nanami, a veteran Magical Girl who destroys Uwasas.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu and Nemu emerge from a room arguing. Nemu dismisses Mifuyu and approaches the Black Feathers with a request. She asks them to investigate the &amp;quot;Uwasa of the Jealous Coward,&amp;quot; also called the &amp;quot;Green-Eyed Coward.&amp;quot; Kuroe hesitates but agrees when Nemu insists she has the aptitude.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group investigates an area with many students but cannot find the Uwasa. The other Black Feathers leave for personal commitments. Kuroe stays, feeling she has nothing to return to. The Uwasa manifests when Kuroe expresses envy toward the other girls&#039; normal lives. Two Black Feathers are knocked unconscious. Nemu is satisfied with the results and tasks Kuroe with investigating more Uwasas starting tomorrow. Kuroe protests but Nemu leaves before she can refuse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The Amane twins, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo, meet Kuroe at Fendt Hope and they begin investigating Uwasas in Sakae Ward but find nothing. They move to Hokuyo Ward. Kuroe notices a missing cat poster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They sense Yachiyo&#039;s group nearby and flee. Yachiyo and Iroha corner Kuroe. The twins escape. Yachiyo interrogates Kuroe. An Uwasa resembling Kuroe appears and attacks, then disappears. Yachiyo accuses Kuroe of controlling it. Kuroe insists she had no knowledge of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo decides to take Kuroe camping to monitor her. At the campground, the Amane twins briefly contact Kuroe and say they will consult Nemu, so Kuroe resolves to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe helps Iroha gather firewood. Iroha is scared by a caterpillar and Kuroe removes it. Kuroe introduces herself by name. She helps the group set up their tent and prepare lunch, using skills learned from Wings of Magius training. She reminds herself not to get drawn into their warm atmosphere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mentions a waterfall power spot. Kuroe offers to get water. Iroha accompanies her. They get lost. A woman helps Kuroe find the waterfall and gives her an empty bottle. The woman explains the place is her personal power spot for resetting her mind. Kuroe wishes she had strength to face the future. The Uwasa appears and attacks the woman. Iroha arrives and finds the woman unconscious. Kuroe begs Iroha for help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe carries the unconscious woman back to the campsite. The Amane twins inform her that Nemu says she is possessed by the Uwasa and should stay with Yachiyo&#039;s group. Yachiyo warns that if more casualties occur, she will destroy the Uwasa. Iroha suggests keeping Kuroe for observation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group participates in a stamp rally and Iroha and Kuroe pair up. They discover they are both from Takarazaki. Iroha explains she moved to Kamihama to find her missing sister. Suddenly, a Witch appears and Kuroe and Iroha fight it together. Kuroe acts as a decoy while Iroha defeats the Witch. Kuroe feels inadequate compared to Iroha&#039;s courage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe asks for time alone and she reflects on her fears and envy. The Uwasa appears again, resembling Kuroe. The group fights it and Iroha urges Kuroe to destroy the Uwasa. Kuroe admits she is afraid she cannot be herself, so she and Iroha destroy the Uwasa together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amane twins inform Kuroe they must report the Uwasa&#039;s destruction, yet Kuroe does not regret it. Iroha asks to talk with Kuroe and Yachiyo offers them tea. Kuroe admits she feels safe with the Wings of Magius because they represent hope for her. Iroha accepts this and Kuroe tells Iroha she wants to be like her someday. They part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe finds the missing cat and returns it to its owner, who is overjoyed. Kuroe realizes she saved someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe reports to Nemu and Mifuyu. Nemu reveals the Uwasa summons itself based on dissatisfaction and envy. Nemu admits she expected Yachiyo&#039;s group to handle an accident with the Uwasa. However, Nemu is satisfied that she now has more research on fusing Uwasa with Magical Girls, however Mifuyu warns Nemu not to experiment on the Feathers. Kuroe realizes that even the Magius are imperfect and she reflects on her long day. She resolves to do her best, one step at a time, and hopes to see Iroha again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 7th==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia and Sana decide to buy matching coasters as a gift for Yachiyo, to show their appreciation, and after some searching, they find a suitable set.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: Memories That Reveal the Truth]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 8th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the plan to present the gift is interrupted when Mifuyu Azusa arrives at the villa before Yachiyo returns home. The girls&#039; plan was for Iroha to wait inside while the others came from outside to surprise Yachiyo. Mifuyu prepares tea and reveals one of the two mugs on the top shelf, which Yachiyo forbade Iroha from using, belongs to her. Mifuyu invites Iroha to a lecture hosted by the Wings of the Magius to explain their goal of &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls. The lecture is scheduled for two days later at the Memory Museum and Iroha agrees to investigate the Rumor about the museum first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo returns home and is visibly distressed to find Mifuyu there. Mifuyu leaves, asking Iroha to inform the others about the lecture. Before finally leaving, Mifuyu returns to speak to Yachiyo privately. She references a &amp;quot;promise&amp;quot; they made a year ago, and accuses Yachiyo of returning to her old ways. Yachiyo insists her relationship with Iroha and the others is &amp;quot;just cooperating.&amp;quot; Yachiyo retreats to her room without receiving the coasters. That night, Yachiyo reflects on her past, resolving to return to the person she once was.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 9th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the lecture, Iroha is unable to give Yachiyo the coasters due to Yachiyo&#039;s low spirits. Iroha discusses her plan to attend the Wings of the Magius lecture with Madoka Kaname via text. Iroha then attempts to investigate the Rumor of the Memory Museum. Yachiyo claims no knowledge of it and leaves for school. Iroha and Momoko ask Mitama, who refuses to share information to maintain her neutrality. After the visit, Mitama has a separate conversation with Momoko about Momoko&#039;s own secret, advising her to tell her friends the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede and Rena help Iroha by summoning the creature that recites the Rumor of the Memory Museum, which allows people to view researched memories. Tsuruno&#039;s father provides the location of the similar-sounding &amp;quot;Kamihama Memorial Museum.&amp;quot; That evening, Yachiyo refuses to join the investigation, reiterating that her relationship with the others is strictly professional, which saddens Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Saturday, the 10th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the lecture, Yachiyo again refuses to go to the museum and Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana go to the Kamihama Memorial Museum without her. There, they are greeted by Touka Satomi, who reveals herself as one of the three Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently at Mikazuki, Yachiyo, haunted by memories of past friends, decides she must investigate the Memory Museum herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Touka throne 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka Satomi gives them a lecture titled &amp;quot;The Truth Behind Magical Girls.&amp;quot; She presents three key items through illustrative stories:&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 1: Soul Gems. A story reveals that a Soul Gem is a Magical Girl&#039;s actual soul. Using magic consumes this life force, and if the gem shatters, the Magical Girl dies. Touka uses an analogy of an internal vs. external battery to explain Soul Gems and Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 2: Witches. A second story demonstrates that when a Magical Girl&#039;s Soul Gem becomes fully corrupted, she transforms into a Witch. This revelation traumatizes Felicia, who realizes the Witches she has been killing were once Magical Girls and that she herself is destined to become one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 3: Doppels. A third story explains that in Kamihama City, a fully corrupted Soul Gem can manifest a &amp;quot;Doppel&amp;quot; instead of a Witch. The Wings of the Magius present this as the key to &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls from their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* To prove their claims, Touka and Mifuyu Azusa activate the Memory Museum&#039;s Rumor. Mifuyu presents a book containing her own memories, inviting the group to witness the truth of the lecture firsthand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo arrives at the museum and confronts Touka. She is shown into the memory dimension where Iroha and the others are and Mifuyu activates the Rumor, forcing the group to relive her memories. The memories depict Yachiyo&#039;s former team, Mikazuki Villa:&lt;br /&gt;
** The first memory shows Kanae Yukino sacrificing herself to reveal a Witch&#039;s weakness. Her uninjured body is found next to her shattered Soul Gem, proving the Soul Gem is the Magical Girl&#039;s life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second memory shows Mel Anna using too much magic to protect Yachiyo. With no Grief Seed to purify her fully corrupted Soul Gem, Mel transforms into a Witch before the team&#039;s eyes, confirming Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The third memory shows Mifuyu&#039;s despair six months after Mel&#039;s death, causing her Soul Gem to corrupt fully. Instead of becoming a Witch, she manifests a Doppel. Touka then appears and recruits her into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno is consumed by guilt over Mel&#039;s death, believing her absence that day was the cause. Felicia is horrified, realizing the Witches she killed were Magical Girls and Sana is terrified but feels powerless to change the system. Touka and Mifuyu use this emotional vulnerability to press their recruitment offers to each girl, promising a world where these tragedies are impossible and even suggesting Sana could be freed from her wish of invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo reject the offer to join and Yachiyo compares the Magius&#039; methods to Kyubey&#039;s, accusing them of exploiting weaknesses. Yachiyo then announces she is disbanding their team, which Iroha protests, but Yachiyo insists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka reveals that Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana have been brainwashed and now serve the Wings of the Magius. Alina Gray arrives and traps Iroha and Yachiyo within her Labyrinth and leaves them to face a Witch. As they fight the Witch, Yachiyo reiterates her decision to disband the team and work alone. She reveals her wish was &amp;quot;I want to survive,&amp;quot; and explains that she interprets this as a curse: the power to survive by sacrificing her teammates, based on the last words of her former comrades, Kanae and Mel, who both died while she lived. Yachiyo believes that to protect Iroha, she must sever their partnership.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha rejects Yachiyo&#039;s conclusion. She declares she will defeat the Uwasa alone to prove Yachiyo&#039;s &amp;quot;curse&amp;quot; is not real and that she can protect Yachiyo. Iroha states she is angry that Yachiyo made this decision for everyone and vows to rescue their brainwashed friends. She defeats the Witch and rejects Yachiyo&#039;s belief in a cursed wish and declares herself the new leader to nullify its perceived effect. Yachiyo relents and agrees to work with Iroha to save their friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the same time, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, having detected Mami&#039;s magic while investigating Kamihama, investigate the closed Kamihama Recording Museum. They are attacked by the Wings of the Magius. While Madoka and Homura hold them off, Sayaka proceeds and witnesses Mami, transformed into &amp;quot;Holy Mami,&amp;quot; attacking Iroha and Yachiyo. It is here that Sayaka learns the horrific truth that Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: A Stand-Off With Fate]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, now a brainwashed member of the Wings of the Magius, confronts them. As Iroha and Yachiyo are too injured to fight, Sayaka Miki arrives and intervenes. Sayaka uses a bomb from Homura to create a diversion, allowing the three to escape.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After their escape, Sayaka gives Iroha a Grief Seed. Iroha explains the truth about Witches and the Wings of the Magius to Sayaka, who is horrified. Sayaka leaves to process this information and Iroha and Yachiyo walk home in silence to reflect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After fleeing the museum, Sayaka reunites with Madoka and Homura, defeats their pursuers in a distraught state, and explains what happened to Mami to them, as well as the truth about becoming Witches.The group returns to Mitakihara in silence but Madoka resolves to find a way to avoid their fate and to save Mami. Sayaka agrees to fight back as well and later decides to meet with Kyoko Sakura.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, at Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo reaffirm their commitment to save their friends and Momoko arrives, having told the secret of Magical Girls to Rena and Kaede. Yachiyo also apologizes for her actions and explains her fears about her wish. Momoko forgives her and reaffirms their friendship. Iroha then receives a text from Madoka, who promises to come to Kamihama to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Sayaka meets Kyoko and reveals the truth about Witches. Kyoko deduces this is what the Wings of the Magius meant by &amp;quot;saving&amp;quot; Magical Girls. Kyoko declares she will find a way to avoid becoming a Witch and confront the Wings of the Magius alone, rejecting Sayaka&#039;s offer of help. Despite Sayaka&#039;s protests, Kyoko leaves to operate solo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Likely during this time, Yachiyo pulls out a box containing what her former friends Kanae Yukino and Mel Anna left behind. She has never opened it since filling it and spends the entire day staring at it, unable to lift the lid. When Iroha arrives and asks about it, Yachiyo explains and admits she is trying to work through her feelings. Iroha offers to help, but Yachiyo deflects, reminding her they were supposed to visit Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls visit Mitama Yakumo and present Grief Seeds as payment for adjustment. Mitama is surprised by the offering and promises to do her best, but she expresses concern about Yachiyo&#039;s emotional state. She suggests Yachiyo clear up her issues with the box before moving forward and offers to adjust both girls at once as a special exception.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Mitama works on her, Yachiyo finds herself in a gray room confronted by a shadowy doppelganger. The shadow accuses her of being afraid of the future and clinging to the past. When Yachiyo refuses to give in to despair, the shadow transforms into her doppel, but she stands firm, accepting her fear while choosing to move forward. Iroha appears beside her, and together they bid farewell to visions of Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo awakens and realizes Mitama adjusted them together intentionally, trusting Iroha could help her if needed. She thanks Mitama for looking out for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at her house, Yachiyo finally opens the box with Iroha beside her. Inside, Kanae left a book of lyrics about becoming a circle with others, and Mel left fortune telling impressions predicting a future where many magical girls would gather in Kamihama. Yachiyo cries as she reads their words. Iroha suggests they head toward that gentle future together. Yachiyo agrees but says first they need to get back their own three points: Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha resolves to find her lost friends and mentally tells Ui to wait a bit longer. Iroha and Yachiyo finish cleaning their house. Iroha resolves to give the coasters she and the others bought for Yachiyo when everyone is reunited. Iroha says she sent a message to Madoka in Mitakihara City, but hasn&#039;t gotten a response.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 7: Awakening to Paradise]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Immediately after Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana are taken, Mifuyu reports to Touka and Alina that the brainwashing on the three is holding, so Touka selects Tsuruno for a mission, which Alina states will involve &amp;quot;mass murder.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in her room, Iroha thinks back to when she celebrated Christmas with her friends, but resolves to keep going with her mission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sunday, the 11th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo investigate the Kamihama Rumor Files at Mikazuki Villa. Iroha recognizes some of the Rumors. They meet with Momoko, who mentions Tsuruno&#039;s perfect school attendance record is now broken and that a new amusement park is also opening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo visit Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant and her father reveals Tsuruno and Felicia visited once. Tsuruno told him she found a place where she feels safe and would not return and he notes her expression was blank, similar to how she looked a year ago after Mel&#039;s death. Afterwards, a White Feather ambushes Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will be used for a mission like Tsuruno, and the two fight off the attacker.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Monday, the 12th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo devise a plan to destroy Rumors across Kamihama to lure out the Wings of the Magius and locate their base. They share this plan with Momoko, who offers to help by getting Grief Seeds for them while they hunt. Momoko then goes to check on Kaede, who is hiding in her room. She hugs Kaede and tells her she and Rena will always be there to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo systematically hunt Rumors like the &amp;quot;Historical Battle Marker,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Castle Town Illusion,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Headless Biker Gang,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Puzzle Tiles Lock,&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;Fashion Monster.&amp;quot; They also interrogate captured Feathers, but none reveal information about Tsuruno, Felicia, or Sana&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Momoko investigates a rapidly spreading rumor about a new amusement park. She notes it originated in the east and spread west through Sakae, Mizuna, and Shinsei Wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha and Yachiyo analyze the Kamihama Rumor Files, marking all known Rumor locations on a map. They identify a pattern: Rumors cluster more densely in Shinsei Ward, with a notable concentration around Satomi Medical Center, the hospital where Ui was supposedly treated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They travel to the hospital area and are ambushed by Feathers. Felicia and Sana, who had broken free of the brainwashing, arrive and help fight off the attackers. The four Magical Girls reunite and Felicia and Sana reveal they pretended to be brainwashed to gather information. Momoko confirms the amusement park rumor spread from east to west and will open at dawn in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Sana explain to Yachiyo and Iroha that Mifuyu used her illusion magic to break their brainwashing. Mifuyu revealed the Magius are protecting and strengthening Witches for their liberation plan and are planning to use the brainwashed Magical Girls to cross a dangerous line. Mifuyu attempted to free Tsuruno but failed, as Tsuruno&#039;s reason for being brainwashed was different. Mifuyu then helped Felicia and Sana escape but chose to remain behind, stating they would be enemies next time they meet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko arrives and shares her investigation into a new Rumor about an amusement park opening at dawn in two days. She confirms it spread from the east, and the group overlays the Rumor locations on a map and identifies a pattern suggesting a source or &amp;quot;eye of the storm&amp;quot; in the eastern wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kanagi screenshot.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo decides to contact Kanagi Izumi, the powerful Magical Girl who controls the eastern Daito and Kosho Wards and is a former rival of hers. Kanagi agrees to an alliance, and during their call, Tsukasa of the Wings of the Magius arrives at Kanagi&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tuesday, the 13th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The morning, Felicia and Sana try to accompany Iroha and Yachiyo but are told to rest due to their collapse the previous night. Iroha and Yachiyo leave them behind. Meanwhile in Kosho Ward, Iroha, Yachiyo, Momoko, and Kanagi meet and Kanagi agrees to ally with them against the Wings of the Magius. They combine their Rumor data on a map, which reveals a circular pattern with a vacant center in Kosho Ward and Kanagi identifies the old railway yard as the likely location of the Wings&#039; base.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After learning the truth about Witches, Madoka questions Kyubey about a way to avoid becoming a Witch. Kyubey states he knows of no method and reveals he cannot enter Kamihama City himself. He proposes an alliance to investigate the Wings of the Magius but Madoka refuses to promise cooperation. She resolves to return to Kamihama with her friends, but then a Witch from Kamihama appears in Mitakihara.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 7: Eve of the Awakening]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura defeat the Kamihama Witch. They share Grief Seeds and note the alarming appearance of foreign Witches in their city. The trio resolves to go to Kamihama the next day to find answers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Around this time, Kyoko successfully infiltrates the Wings of the Magius. She is assigned to a team tasked with dealing with a group that erases Rumors, which she suspects is Iroha&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s group travels to the railway yard but finds it empty. They are ambushed by Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who summon Witches and during the battle, Kanagi uses her unique power to read Iroha&#039;s true intentions and confirms her sincerity. Kanagi then joins the fight and helps defeat the Amane sisters and their Black Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi uses her power on the defeated Amane sisters to read their minds and she learns that Tsuruno is still completely brainwashed and has become part of an Uwasa to protect it. She also learns Tsuruno&#039;s location is at the Ferris Wheel Field in Daito Ward and the group prepares to move out immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Sana and Felicia wait anxiously and Yachiyo calls them with an update.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Rena visits Kaede at her house, and after an argument involving slapping and pinching, Kaede reconciles with Rena and agrees to return to school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team arrives in Daito Ward, where Yachiyo and Iroha plan to enter the &amp;quot;amusement park&amp;quot; Rumor to save Tsuruno, while Felicia, Sana, Momoko, and Kanagi hold off the Wings of the Magius. The group locates the Rumor&#039;s entrance and Kanagi and Momoko stay behind to fight the Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo proceed and confront Alina, Touka, and Mifuyu, where Alina declares her intent to erase them. During the battle, Mifuyu secretly tells Yachiyo that destroying the main Uwasa will kill Tsuruno, and that they must instead tear the Uwasa from her by connecting with her heart. Mifuyu also reveals Tsuruno is in a Ferris wheel car.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101705 uwasatsuruno.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo enter the Rumor, &amp;quot;Chelation Land,&amp;quot; which induces a hazy, thoughtless state. They find Tsuruno, who has fully merged with the Uwasa and acts as the park&#039;s host. Tsuruno tries to force them to relax and stay, serving them hotpot in mugs reminiscent of Mikazuki Villa, but they refuse and attempt to reason with Tsuruno, and she attacks them. Following Mifuyu&#039;s advice, they combine their magic to tear the Uwasa from Tsuruno in one powerful strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nemu02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After Tsuruno is freed from the Uwasa, Yachiyo realizes that Tsuruno&#039;s cheerful demeanor was a facade to hide her pain and guilt over past events, including the death of Mel. The team defeats the main Uwasa of Chelation Land and the Magius, Touka, Nemu Hiiragi, and Alina, confront the group. Nemu reveals she is the &amp;quot;Creator&amp;quot; of all the Rumors in Kamihama and the Magius explain their goal: to use the energy generated by Rumors and Witches to hatch &amp;quot;Embryo Eve,&amp;quot; a being that will liberate all Magical Girls worldwide from the fate of becoming Witches. They state the phenomenon requires the presence of all three Magius and a massive energy source, for which they have used the people of Kamihama and the teams part ways in opposition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Wednesday, the 14th==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101701 coaster02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, at Mikazuki Villa, the team summarizes the Magius&#039; plan and that Kamihama is an incubator for Embryo Eve. They resolve to stop the Magius due to the plan&#039;s high human cost and the group gives Yachiyo the set of sakura blossom-themed coasters as a symbol of their team unity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka are separately attacked by multiple Kamihama Witches in Mitakihara before reuniting. They realize the Witch incursion is a coordinated attack meant to prevent them from leaving Mitakihara. Their magic and Grief Seed reserves are heavily depleted in the constant battles.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the ongoing Witch attacks, the trio is overwhelmed by a powerful Witch and is forced to retreat. Sayaka breaks down, admitting her terror of becoming a Witch and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka share their fears and resolve to face the threat together. They are observed by Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, who imply the attack is part of their plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Fendt Hope, Kyoko, having gained the trust of her unit, is taken on a tour of the Wings of the Magius headquarters by her White Feather superior.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, the three defeat the Feathers sent to observe them, and after interrogating them, they receive a message from Iroha about how to save Mami. Holy Mami arrives to Mitakihara and reveals she brought the Witches to Mitakihara to keep the three of them &amp;quot;safe,&amp;quot; and insists the Magius will save them. Alina Gray also appears and traps Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka in a Barrier, which Mami seals with her ribbons.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her infiltration, Kyoko is taken to Hotel Fenthope by Mifuyu Azusa. She confronts Holy Mami, accusing her of not being the real Mami Tomoe. Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi arrive and reinforce the Rumor brainwashing on Mami. Mifuyu secretly escorts Kyoko away and reveals the Magius&#039; plans: they are using a mysterious entity called &amp;quot;Eve&amp;quot; to liberate Magical Girls and are deliberately bringing Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama to hatch it. Horrified, Kyoko rejects the Magius and is led out of the city by Mifuyu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Once More From Here]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko arrives in Mitakihara and frees Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka from Alina&#039;s Barrier. She explains the Magius&#039; plan to bring Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama and Homura urges the group to stay in Mitakihara for safety. Kyoko departs alone, later resolving to return and crush the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Iroha has a sudden memory flashback to the hospital, triggered by the word &amp;quot;sakura.&amp;quot; She remembers a story she, Ui, Touka, and Nemu created about the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot; She deduces this Rumor is real and located at the hospital, and that all the Rumors were created there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Touka and Nemu observe that Embryo Eve has reached a critical state and they confirm that a legendary, cross-dimensional event they foresaw: the arrival of Walpurgisnacht, will provide the final, massive energy surge needed to hatch Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo calls a meeting with the Mikazuki Villa household, Tsuruno, and the Momoko trio to share her concern that rumors persist even after they defeat the Uwasa themselves. The group splits up to investigate whether the original Uwasa have truly vanished or transformed into something new.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Hereafter]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko, Kaede, and Rena investigate the Breakup Staircase and find only scattered internet gossip remains. During their search, lingering tensions surface over Rena&#039;s painful memories of when Kaede was kidnapped by that Uwasa, but the trio ultimately reconciles and continues working together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno visit Mizuna Shrine, where the Séance Shrine Uwasa has transformed into a popular spot for relationship prayers with new mascots. They encounter a grieving girl who comes daily to pray for her deceased friend, and Yachiyo is reminded of her own departed companions Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Felicia track down the man behind the revived Misery Water rumor, who confesses he was scammed into buying the water and cannot bring himself to deceive others. Felicia helps him find honest work, and the rumors die out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana investigates an online forum where troubled users make veiled threats, but the rumor fades without incident. Tsuruno and Iroha check Chelation Land, where Tsuruno reflects on her past brainwashing and muses about whether some Uwasa exist independently of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The groups reconvene and report that all investigated rumors have left minimal traces. Yachiyo concludes their investigation of the Uwasa is complete, and only the Wings of Magius themselves remain to be confronted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voices from Beyond, Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the afterlife, Mel Anna meets Kanae Yukino, another Magical Girl ghost who also died fighting a Witch. Mel is thrilled to discover they were both on a team with Yachiyo Nanami and calls Kanae her senpai. Kanae takes Mel to a ghost cafe where deceased Magical Girls gather, explaining they cannot interact with the living world except through psychics.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Voices From Beyond]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they wander Kamihama, Mel notices Witch numbers rising dramatically and worries about Yachiyo. They follow Yachiyo and are relieved to find she has new companions in Iroha Tamaki and others, though they remain concerned about their former teammate Mifuyu&#039;s absence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, they watch helplessly as Yachiyo battles the Wings of Magius and eventually enters the Memory Museum, where she relives the trauma of losing Mel and Kanae. When Yachiyo dissolves her team afterward, convinced her magic causes others to die for her, the ghosts desperately try to reach her. Kanae notices Yachiyo kept their mementos: Mel&#039;s fortune log and Kanae&#039;s notebook. They focus their thoughts on these items, and that night, Yachiyo discovers their messages—Kanae&#039;s lyrics about forming a circle and Mel&#039;s fortune predicting the current events. Grateful, she resolves to move forward. Their successful contact gets their ghost licenses suspended, and they watch Yachiyo&#039;s dream of their encounter before fading.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 15th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius initiate a city-wide offensive, unleashing powerful Witches and sending brainwashed Black and White Feathers to indiscriminately attack other Magical Girls. Mami delivers a declaration of war to Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will no longer delay their plan for &amp;quot;freedom.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Kamihama, Painted in Fiction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magical Girls of Kamihama form a coordinated response and Yachiyo&#039;s team devises a strategy: first, eliminate the unleashed Witches; second, protect other Magical Girls and direct them to Mitama&#039;s shop as a safe haven; third, deal with the rampaging Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, recalling the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; in Hokuyo Ward, theorizes it could be the location of the Magius&#039; hidden base. Yachiyo approves Iroha and Sana to investigate this lead separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next several hours, the teams execute the plan. Yachiyo rescues Ren from a Black Feather and escorts her to Mitama&#039;s shop. Kaede Afinds Konomi protecting an injured Kako; together they defeat a Witch and get Kako to safety. Rena aids Asuka and Sasara, later teaming with Ria and Manaka to defeat a Witch. Momoko and Aimi rescue Kokoro and Masara from Feathers. Tsuruno works with Hinano to eliminate a Witch and warns her about the Feathers. Felicia fights alongside Akira and Nanaka&#039;s group, eventually reuniting with Tsuruno. Kanagi protects Himika from Feathers and sends her to Mitama&#039;s. Yachiyo and Kanagi also rescue Riko and Ayaka from Feather attacks and track the enemy to a heliport. Yachiyo, Kanagi, Momoko&#039;s team, and Tsuruno&#039;s team successfully clear the city of the powerful Witches and they rescue and guide numerous Magical Girls to Mitama&#039;s shop. Momoko confronts Mitama, challenging her to abandon her neutral stance and Mitama agrees to allow her shop to be used as a headquarters and to share her knowledge about the Magius&#039; plans.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama reveals the truth that Magical Girls are destined to become Witches, and that the Magius aim to use the energy from Embryo Eve to spread the Doppel phenomenon worldwide, preventing this fate. However, their methods involve sacrificing the citizens of Kamihama and other Magical Girls to gather this energy, so the Magical Girls at the shelter decide to join the fight against the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, in Chuo Ward, Yachiyo and Kanagi are ambushed by Mami and a horde of brainwashed Feathers at the Kamihama Central Tower heliport. The battle is difficult due to the Feathers&#039; numbers and Mami&#039;s enhanced power from the Uwasa. Kanagi reads Mami&#039;s mind and finds her personality has been completely overwritten by the Uwasa&#039;s influence, leaving only her devotion to the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia then arrive as reinforcements and during the fight, a Black Feather loses her &amp;quot;Receiver Pendant.&amp;quot; Kanagi reads this Feather&#039;s mind, uncovering that the Feathers&#039; berserk state is caused by the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Receiver Pendant,&amp;quot; which numbs their emotions and forces them to obey the Magius&#039; orders. The memory also reveals the three Magius orchestrating the attack to harvest emotional energy from the chaos, believing it will bring their utopia closer. The Feather who lost her pendant then begins to regain her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team battles the brainwashed Mami and the Wings of the Magius. With the help of Momoko&#039;s team and Kanagi&#039;s ability to read the enemy&#039;s weakness, they remove the Uwasa from Mami, freeing her from its control. Mami collapses from exhaustion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Homura pleads with Madoka and Sayaka not to go to Kamihama, fearing for their lives against Walpurgisnacht. After initial hesitation, Madoka and Sayaka resolve to go and Homura agrees to accompany them. The trio leaves for Kamihama but cannot contact Iroha Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Upon arriving in Kamihama, the three are attacked by brainwashed Black Feathers in Sakae Ward, but the Feathers suddenly regain their senses and flee. The trio pursues them into Central Ward and meets Kanoko Yayoi, Karin Misono, and Natsuki Utsuho. They learn that other Magical Girls are gathering at Mitama Yakumo&#039;s office and Karin reveals she saw Nanaka Tokiwa carrying an unconscious Mami there. The group goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds Mami, who has been freed from the Magius&#039; control and awakens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius then execute their plan: they cause a city-wide blackout and seize control of Kamihama&#039;s radio waves and power grid. They use Nemu&#039;s power to project a false utopia over the city, attracting Witches, and Touka&#039;s power to send a signal that summons the legendary Witch, Walpurgisnacht. Their goal is to use the chaos and emotional energy to hatch &amp;quot;Eve.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana infiltrate the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; Labyrinth, initially having their presence hidden due to Sana&#039;s unique magic. There, Iroha confronts Touka and Nemu, using the Uwasa itself as proof that her memories of their shared past with Ui are real. Despite this, Touka and Nemu don&#039;t believe her and refuse to halt their plans. Alina arrives, captures Iroha, and takes her to their main base, Hotel Fendt Hope. Afterwards, Sana escapes and informs Yachiyo&#039;s arriving team of Iroha&#039;s capture.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Mitama reveals she previously supplied the Wings with Grief Seeds in exchange for neutrality but has now chosen to side with Yachiyo&#039;s team against them. Mami herself awakens, now having reconciled with her inner turmoil. Now, Yachiyo&#039;s team, reinforced by Momoko&#039;s team and Mami, prepares to assault Hotel Fendt Hope to rescue Iroha and stop the Magius before Walpurgisnacht arrives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, freed from the Uwasa&#039;s influence, resolves to expose the Magius&#039; true plans to the Feathers and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka decide to support her instead of joining Iroha&#039;s group. Nanaka and her team escort them to the heliport and during the journey, Mami explains to Nanaka that the Feathers&#039; loyalty was placed not in the Magius themselves, but in Mifuyu Azusa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 9: Take My Hand]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the heliport, Mami arrives where the exhausted Feathers and Kamihama Magical Girls are at a stalemate. She reveals the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice hundreds of civilians, including the Feathers&#039; own friends and family, to Walpurgisnacht. She also details their previous use of the Chelation Land Rumor for a similar purpose and the Feathers are shocked and dismayed. Some even accuse Mami of hypocrisy, which she does not deny.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Feathers split into two factions: one that still desires liberation at any cost and another that vows to protect Kamihama. A fight breaks out between them and Madoka and the others defend Mami, declaring their unwavering friendship. Moved, Mami asks the Feathers if they have anyone they trust unconditionally, as she now does, and the Feathers state they trust Mifuyu and demand to hear the truth from her directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami entrusts the Feathers to Nanaka&#039;s team, while she, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka then proceed to Hotel Fendthope to aid Iroha. On the way, Mami thanks her friends and asks them to rely on her as an equal ally and friend, not as a veteran. They arrive at the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Mitama is guarding the entrance. She confirms she is aware of Mami&#039;s past struggles and allows the group to pass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 16th==&lt;br /&gt;
* At Hotel Fendt Hope, Sana infiltrates the hotel to find Iroha and she overhears Feathers discussing Iroha&#039;s location and heads there. Iroha is held in a cell and, with her Soul Gem confiscated, she reflects on her memories of Ui, Touka, and Nemu and resolves to stop the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their plans and Alina demands Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem and body be brought to her. A weather report at the same time indicates the approach of Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana locates Iroha&#039;s cell, and she breaks Iroha out, but the act of breaking the cell door triggers an Uwasa, as the entire building is part of a Rumor. Sana defeats the Uwasa and as they flee, they are ambushed by Black Feathers. Kyoko Sakura, who was undergoing an orientation with the Feathers but decided against joining them, intervenes and helps defeat the attackers as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha explains the Magius&#039; goal is to summon Walpurgisnacht, and Kyoko reveals the Magius also plan to use Iroha, Mifuyu, and the Amane sisters as nourishment for &amp;quot;Eve,&amp;quot; the core of the system. Suddenly, Iroha collapses and stops breathing due to the distance from her Soul Gem. A Black Feather who pretended to be unconscious seizes Iroha&#039;s body and escapes with it, and Sana and Kyoko give chase.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team enters the Hotel Fendt Hope through the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth and they split into two teams: Yachiyo&#039;s group heads to the top floor to rescue Mifuyu and the Amane sisters, while Momoko&#039;s group searches for Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team finds Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa unconscious, their bodies separated from their Soul Gems. They quickly recover the Soul Gems, reviving the three, and Mifuyu confirms the Magius summoned Walpurgisnacht to provide energy to hatch Eve. Mifuyu and the Amane sisters renounce the Magius and join Yachiyo&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Iroha is transported by a Black Feather who reveals her motivation: her younger sister turned into a Witch, and she supports the Magius to prevent others from suffering the same fate. Momoko&#039;s team intercepts them and rescues Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko and Sana fight their way through the hotel and reunite with the main group. Momoko&#039;s team recovers a bag containing Iroha&#039;s, Mifuyu&#039;s, and the Amane sisters&#039; Soul Gems. A group of Feathers from the East confronts them but is persuaded by Kanagi to stand down, and they retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the teams reunited, the full coalition of Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, Kanagi, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Kyoko regroups. They possess all the stolen Soul Gems and are united in their goal to stop the Magius and confront Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team&#039;s path to the underground chapel is blocked and Mifuyu determines the magical building, a Rumor crafted by Nemu Hiiragi, has been reconfigured. Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa attempt to break the blockade, but a powerful magical wind erupts, separating the group. Mifuyu, the Amane sisters, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, and Kyoko are blown outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, Sana, Felicia, Tsuruno, and Kanagi remain inside and they defeat an Uwasa that attacks them. Mifuyu communicates from outside that they are locked out, and she devises a new plan: her group will gather other Kamihama Magical Girls to attack and destroy the Uwasa of Hotel Fendt Hope itself, which will collapse the building. She instructs Yachiyo&#039;s group to hurry to the underground chapel for safety before the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu&#039;s group fights off Witches released by Alina Gray as a defense measure. Mami, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka also arrive and assist them. After the battle, Mami convinces Mifuyu to address all the Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, and using the Amane sisters&#039; sound magic, Mifuyu broadcasts a telepathic message across Kamihama, revealing the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice civilians and summon Walpurgisnacht. She urges the Feathers to lay down their arms and prepare to fight the legendary Witch. Many Feathers also heed her call and defect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami then uses her magic to create a small opening in the building&#039;s barrier and enters Hotel Fendt Hope alone to rejoin Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kyoko is noted to be absent. Yachiyo&#039;s team searches for the entrance to the underground chapel and Mami reveals she concealed the entrance with her magic. She severs the ribbon hiding the path, officially breaking her ties with the Wings of the Magius and Mami then leaves to assist with the attack on the Uwasa of Fendt Hope outside. Kyoko meets Mami along the way and gives her a Grief Seed before they both exit the building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team then encounters false copies of Touka, Nemu, and Alina from the Mirror Witch&#039;s barrier; they realize the fakes speak differently and defeat them before continuing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, Mifuyu&#039;s group, now joined by Mami, Kyoko, and the Feathers who defected, attacks the Uwasa of Fendt Hope. Despite a coordinated assault, the Uwasa proves extremely resilient and withstands their combined power. The battle continues as the city-wide weather disaster escalates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team proceeds down a long staircase into a deep, dark underground area filled with strong magical impurities. Along the way, they are confronted by Mirror copies of themselves that voice their deepest insecurities, but each member overcomes their own doubts by relying on their friends. In the underground chapel, they find Alina, Nemu, and Touka waiting for them. At the back of the chapel, they see the massive, unhatched form of the Witch known as Embryo Eve. They reveal the full scope of their plan. They explain that Kyubey&#039;s true mission is to harvest the emotional energy of Magical Girls to counteract the universe&#039;s heat death. The cycle of hope and despair, culminating in a Magical Girl&#039;s transformation into a Witch, produces the necessary energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius intend to usurp this system. They plan to use the phase transition energy from Eve&#039;s transformation into a full Witch to create a permanent forcefield over Kamihama. This field would allow Magical Girls to release their impurities as Doppels instead of becoming Witches, and the energy would be fed back to the universe, making Kyubey and new Magical Girl contracts obsolete. The imminent arrival of Walpurgisnacht is a key part of their plan, as its destruction by Eve will provide the massive energy required.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Despite understanding the plan, Iroha and her team refuse to accept the Magius&#039; methods or their control over the future. The Magius argue that without their plan, Walpurgisnacht will destroy the city regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 2.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, the battle against the Uwasa of Fendt Hope continues. Realizing they are losing, Mifuyu uses a dangerous self-illusion to unleash all her magic at once in a final attack. She destroys the Uwasa but becomes incapacitated in the process as her Soul Gem starts breaking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the chapel, the destruction of the Uwasa causes Fendt Hope&#039;s Labyrinth to collapse, and the chapel is exposed to the outside as the building disappears. After the collapse of Hotel Fendt Hope, the teams reunite in the forest as the Labyrinth vanishes. Yachiyo learns that Mifuyu was severely injured destroying the Uwasa and was taken to Mitama for treatment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius appear with Embryo Eve, now freed from the chapel, and they prepare to fully release Eve so it can devour the approaching Walpurgisnacht. A battle ensues as the teams try to stop them and Iroha and Sana break through the defensive line of Familiars to attack Eve directly. Iroha&#039;s attack on Eve fails and Eve captures Iroha but does not harm her. A bright light emanates from Iroha, allowing Sana to rescue her. Sana reveals she possesses a branch from the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, which was not in bloom when she received it. The branch suddenly blossoms after Iroha touches Eve and Iroha realizes that Embryo Eve is her missing sister, Ui Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana confront Embryo Eve on Takayama Mountain and Iroha believes Eve is her sister, Ui Tamaki, but Eve breaks free from the mountain and begins to move toward Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama City, Walpurgisnacht approaches from the sea, accompanied by a massive horde of Familiars that begin to swarm the city. Magical Girl teams led by Hinano Miyako and Nanaka Tokiwa engage the Familiars along the coast to prevent widespread destruction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the ruins of Hotel Fendt Hope, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo bring the injured Mifuyu to Mitama Yakumo for emergency aid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Takayama Mountain, Iroha pleads with the combined Magical Girl forces not to kill Eve, revealing her belief that it is Ui. The Magius leaders and Alina retreat. Eve leaps into the sky, heading for Sankyo Ward in Kamihama. Yachiyo Nanami&#039;s team prepares to pursue Eve, while Madoka Kaname&#039;s group from Mitakihara heads to the coast to help defend against Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Magius headquarters, Touka and Nemu dismiss Iroha&#039;s claims about Ui, despite Nemu&#039;s private suspicions. Alina expresses interest in Iroha&#039;s memories but remains focused on Eve&#039;s hatching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Eve&#039;s arrival in Sankyo Ward, Mitama informs Iroha and the team that Ui&#039;s true body and Soul Gem are contained within Embryo Eve, which is a &amp;quot;Half-Witch.&amp;quot; To save Ui, they must defeat Eve&#039;s manifested form without destroying the Soul Gem and Mitama identifies a large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest as the core that maintains its form and its weak point. Mitama also treats the comatose Mifuyu, whose Soul Gem is critically cracked from overuse. Mitama stabilizes it but cannot fully heal her, and Tsukuyo and Tsukasa decide to rejoin the fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Eve rampages through Sankyo Ward, the combined Magical Girl teams attack Eve but find their assaults completely ineffective. Mitama, the Amane sisters, and other groups like Hinano Miyako&#039;s team regroup and they decide to consolidate their forces: one group will focus on defeating Eve, while the other prepares for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s landfall.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia readies her hammer and strikes Eve on the head with a magic‑powered blow, using her memory‑obliterating ability to confuse Eve and halt its advance; in the aftermath of the strike, a strange glow is visible near Eve&#039;s belly. Meanwhile, the Amane sisters relay the critical intelligence about Eve&#039;s red jewel weak point to Yachiyo&#039;s team. Eve begins to move toward Chuo Ward, and Sana proposes a plan to immobilize Eve so the team can target its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, the combined forces of Yachiyo&#039;s team, the Amane sisters, and other White Feathers execute a plan to immobilize Embryo Eve. They use chains from Sana&#039;s shield, spears, and plants to bind Eve to a large building and Iroha successfully strikes the large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest, its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eve retaliates by absorbing a massive vortex of impurities its Familiars had collected, causing its body to mutate and merge with the jewel. Iroha then sees a vision of Ui trapped within the core, reaffirming her resolve to save her, but the Magius arrive to protect Eve and ensure it consumes Walpurgisnacht. Iroha declares her intent to enter the gem to save Ui directly, and despite being severely injured, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia hold off the Magius, creating an opening for Iroha to advance toward Eve&#039;s core.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:10-19.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha reaches Ui&#039;s body but cannot shatter the gem surrounding it completely. Touka arrives at her side, and questions her motives. Iroha declares Ui is her sister and a precious friend to Touka and Nemu, and as Iroha reaches for Ui, the Embryo Eve attacks and Lil&#039; Kyubey intervenes and blocks the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu experience a flood of memories, recalling the original events. She remembers seeing Iroha with Kyubey in a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, learning about Magical Girls, and devising a plan with Ui and Nemu to usurp Kyubey&#039;s powers to create an automatic purification system and save all Magical Girls. Their plan failed when Ui&#039;s &amp;quot;harvest&amp;quot; ability went haywire upon her transformation, forcing Nemu to sever Ui&#039;s soul from her body and store it within the de-powered, small Kyubey to prevent her from becoming a Witch. This act erased Ui from the world&#039;s memory, as well as any traces of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Regaining their memories, Touka uses her stored energy to destabilize the Embryo Eve and Nemu uses her stories to restrain it. Iroha shatters Eve&#039;s central gem, and the small Kyubey releases Ui&#039;s soul. Ui awakens and reassures Touka and Nemu that she does not blame them for their shared decision. The Embryo Eve, now soulless, begins to decay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined Magical Girl forces, including Mami, Kyoko, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura, continue their battle against Walpurgisnacht in Chuo Ward. Despite their numbers, the Witch proves immensely powerful and resilient.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102304 mikage desire.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, a massive explosion of light and energy erupts from the location of the decaying Embryo Eve. The Eve has transformed into a new, stable form, and Touka deduces that Alina, who had previously shrunk the anti-Kyubey forcefield to contain the city&#039;s energy, has now wrapped that forcefield tightly around Eve. This action stabilized Eve&#039;s energy and prevented its decay, allowing Alina to control it as a tool for her art. Alina appears, now fused with an Uwasa in a manner similar to [[Holy Mami]], and declares her intent to use Eve to create her ultimate masterpiece, disregarding the goal of Magical Girl liberation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, as this is taking place, [[Mikage Yakumo]], Mitama&#039;s younger sister, is approached by Kyubey when the Barrier disappears. After he explains Mitama&#039;s wish to her, Mikage makes a wish of her own to undo the effects of Mitama&#039;s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Chapter 2: Smiles and Fireworks]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Holy Alina]] asserts that humanity subconsciously desires destruction and that she will use the Embryo Eve to fulfill this wish as her ultimate artwork. Kanagi confronts her own past desire to destroy the city due to its history of conflict but ultimately rejects Alina&#039;s path as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 nemu uwasa.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu, as the creator of Alina&#039;s Uwasa, takes responsibility. She uses the last of her life force to summon every Uwasa recorded in her book to attack Alina directly. The attack defeats Alina, making her disappear, but Nemu collapses, severely weakened and unable to move her legs, so White Feathers evacuate her to safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 eve user1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Embryo Eve, now uncontrolled, begins to rampage and targets Ui, attempting to reabsorb her. Lil&#039; Kyubey implies a solution: it will take Ui&#039;s place within Eve. Touka realizes that the small Kyubey, which contains Ui&#039;s former soul and Kyubey&#039;s original functions, possesses similar attributes to Eve. It is also incapable of becoming a Witch. Lil&#039; Kyubey merges with the Embryo Eve, causing it to release all orbs of light from its body, lading in different parts of Kamihama. The small Kyubey thus becomes the core of the &amp;quot;Automatic Purification System&amp;quot; that Touka, Ui, and Nemu originally envisioned, preventing Magical Girls from becoming Witches within Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival, the combined forces of Magical Girls, including the various teams from Kamihama and the team from Mitakihara, are on the verge of defeat. Homura and the others exhaust their weapons and energy in a desperate attempt to defeat it. They are exhausted, out of Grief Seeds, many are incapacitated, and despite their injuries and depleted resources, the girls refuse to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Last Magia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Walpurgisnacht prepares a massive attack that seems certain to annihilate them, an unknown, benevolent force envelops the Magical Girls. Iroha hears a mysterious voice and sees white feathers raining down, an experience shared by everyone on the battlefield. They all experience a sudden surge of energy and a feeling of being urged forward. This voice is from the Law of Cycles, who had been watching the timeline but not interfering with it. The feathers rejuvenate the group, lifting their spirits and empowering them to continue fighting; their strength is restored, and even the injured find themselves able to fight again. With morale returned, they rally together for one final, united assault, redirecting Walpurgisnacht to Kaihin Park using a coordinated strategy with their unique magical abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined forces of Magical Girls coordinate their unique magics to combat Walpurgisnacht: &lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Natsuki Utsuho initiate the counterattack by using their Encouragement and Cheering magic to boost the morale and power of all allies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seizing this surge of energy, the team implements a complex strategy to control the battlefield. First, Felicia, Meiyui Chun, and Rika Ayano use their Memory Erasure, Persuasion, and Mind-Altering magic to disorient Walpurgisnacht and force it to change course toward the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** To precisely guide the Witch to the intended battleground, Tsuruno, Riko Chiaki, and Emiri Kisaki then use their Good Luck, Luring, and Charm magic, successfully leading Walpurgisnacht to the beachfront park while evading its attacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Once there, the focus shifts to immobilizing the colossal foe. Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Asuka Tatsuki use their Flute Blossom Resonance and Action Control magic in an attempt to halt Walpurgisnacht&#039;s movement entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When it retaliates, Himika Mao diverts its attacks, creating an opening for Kanagi Izumi, who, with a power boost from Mitama&#039;s Coordination, attacks it directly to stun it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** This creates the crucial opening for a full restraint, and Mami, Kanoko Yayoi, and Kaede use Ribbon Binding, Stitching, and Plant magic to ensnare the Witch, which Rena amplified by using her Transformation magic to transform into Kaede and double the restraining power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Walpurgisnacht finally immobilized, Nanaka organizes their forces while Hazuki Yusa and Akira Shinobu identify its weak point with their magic, a gear connected to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire group then launch a coordinated, all-out assault, with offensive magics like Hinano Miyako&#039;s Chemical Explosions leading the charge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout the final attack, Kokoro Awane, Ayame Mikuri, and Konoha Shizumi provide vital defense with their Wall Creation, Safeguarding, and Fog Generation magic, protecting the assault team and ensuring their united strike could land.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Realizing their combined assault was not enough to deliver a final blow, the Magical Girls regroup and to ensure they could act as one perfect unit, Reira Ibuki uses her Purifying Flame to heal their wounds and replenish their energy, while Mito Aino uses her Heart-Linking magic to synchronize their hearts and minds, allowing their resolve to become perfectly aligned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With their spirits united, they form a new strategy and Konomi Haruna uses her magic to force their Fighting Spirit to Bloom, amplifying their collective potential, while Kako Natsume uses her Event Reproduction magic to reinforce the gathered energy, and Ren Isuzu enacts her Nirvana magic to ensure the attack would bring permanent rest to the Witch if successful.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The plan to create a final weapon then commences. Ui uses her Harvest magic to gather the hope and magical energy from every single Magical Girl on the battlefield. She passes this immense energy to Touka, who used her Conversion magic to condense it all into a single, concentrated mass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* This mass of collective hope is then entrusted to Yachiyo, whose unique magic of Inheritance allows her to embody and control the power. She and Iroha shape this energy into a gigantic, radiant arrow aimed at the weak point that had been identified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they prepared to fire, Walpurgisnacht launches an attack to free itself from their binds. In that moment, Homura activates her Time-Stop, and touches Iroha, allowing her to move within the suspended time and take aim unimpeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the path clear, Iroha releases the arrow and strikes the central gear with overwhelming force. As time resumed, the arrow consumed Walpurgisnacht in a brilliant explosion, finally ending the calamity and clearing the sky over Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102005 magicalgirl3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura reflects that she has finally surpassed this battle after countless timelines, and Madoka expresses relief that no more people will suffer from Walpurgisnacht. The girls in Kamihama also celebrate their hard-earned victory, despite the fact that many are injured and exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Epilogue==&lt;br /&gt;
* Some days after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, Iroha and Ui see their parents off at the airport as they leave for their overseas assignment. Iroha and Ui then return to Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama City, where Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana welcome them back. Mifuyu is also present, as Iroha was able to use her magic to repair Mifuyu&#039;s damaged Soul Gem, allowing her to recover. Later that day, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Kanagi, and Mitama visit Mikazuki Villa as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, [[Ultimate Madoka]], a being who identifies as a record-keeper of all universes reflects on the new timeline centered on Kamihama. She states she intervened one last time by sending a &amp;quot;rain of feathers&amp;quot; to empower the Magical Girls but will now only observe, fearing further direct interference could damage this fragile new reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu organize a meeting for all Magical Girls involved in the recent conflict to discuss the actions of the Wings of the Magius and the future fate of all Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu visit the Eternal Sakura. The Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura congratulates them on finally being together as friends and Nemu, who now uses a wheelchair, accepts her condition as a consequence of her past actions. Iroha briefly wonders about the whereabouts of the small Kyubey that once accompanied her, and then meet Lil&#039; Kyubey in the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After some days, Homura reflects on their victory. Despite saving Madoka and defeating Walpurgisnacht, she feels uncertain. The fundamental curse of Magical Girls becoming Witches remains, and she questions if this timeline is truly the best outcome. At school, Mami informs the group about recent disappearances and people getting lost, which they attribute to a new Witch. They devise a plan to track it by mapping the incidents. Kyoko arrives from Kazamino, also hunting the same Witch, and a tense alliance forms.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: The Place We Finally Reached]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group splits into teams to search the area Mami identified. Madoka notices Homura&#039;s preoccupation and reassures her. The teams locate the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and coordinate their attack. During the battle, Homura fears for her friends&#039; safety, but they work together effectively. Kyoko and Sayaka create an opening for Mami and Madoka to deliver the final blow, while Homura evacuates the Witch-Kissed civilians.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Kyoko gives the Grief Seed to Mami and Sayaka declares she has no regrets about becoming a Magical Girl, valuing the power to protect and the friends she has made. This prompts Mami to reconcile with Kyoko, asking to be true friends who help each other when needed again, to which Kyoko agrees. Madoka then states she is also glad she became a Magical Girl, expressing faith in the future because of her friends. This resolve causes Homura to weep with joy, finally believing this timeline, where they face their fate together, could be the one she sought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group, including Kyoko, shares a meal at a pancake restaurant. They discuss an upcoming meeting in Kamihama to address the Magius&#039; actions. While Kyoko opts not to attend, the others plan to update her later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 04 00 0042 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One Saturday, Mami volunteers to help clean the damage done by the Magius incident and Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura go along as well. During it, a Witch attacks and a Magical Girl they were helping unleashes a Doppel. They defeat the Witch and the girl falls unconscious, so Mami takes her to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After stabilizing her, Mami asks Mitama to help her face her own Doppel and she guides Mami to look within. Mami meets her Doppel and it tries to convince her to forget the past, yet Mami refuses and proclaims that she accepts the Doppel as part of herself. Mami then wakes up, thanking everyone and says they will build the future together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cherry Blossom Dreams===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, the Eternal Sakura completed her duties as an Uwasa when her tree came into full bloom. Her Rumor was rewritten and she was connected to Touka&#039;s server, reborn as an Uwasa with ample knowledge who would later be named Sakurako. Around this time, Yachiyo received a message asking what should be done about the six ringleaders of the Magius—Touka Satomi, Nemu Hiiragi, Mifuyu Azusa, Mitama Yakumo, Tsukuyo Amane, and Tsukasa Amane. Nemu proposed rewriting the Eternal Sakura to serve as an impartial judge. They designed three trials: the first to analyze crimes and calculate a verdict, the second to survey all Magical Girls, and the third to reach a final decision based on responses. Punishments ranged from monitoring to destruction of the Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the first trial, Sakurako sentenced Touka and Nemu to the maximum penalty. Mifuyu received power revocation, reduced from maximum due to testimony that she helped destroy Fendt Hope. Mitama received conditional power revocation, allowed to transform only for Coordinator work. The Amane sisters received power restriction. After the trial, Touka and Nemu remained calm, thanking everyone. Yachiyo noted they had intentionally omitted their ages from consideration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Nemu and Sakurako wait at a train station with others. Nearby girls whisper about Nemu, recognizing her as one of the Magius and questioning why she faces no punishment. Ui argues with Iroha about using the Stardust Time Viewer, while Touka pushes through the crowd, disheveled from navigating the train alone. The three girls reunite, each feeling it is a dream. Touka sends Ui a photo of the map they created together in the hospital. The group travels to the mall, where Ui finally visits the croquette shop she always wanted to try, and they share plates to taste each other&#039;s orders. From there, they take a rickshaw to Mizuna Shrine, where they briefly encounter Tsukuyo and Tsukasa, who quickly hurry away. The group buys prayer plaques, though most hesitate at the cost until a shrine attendant suggests writing prayers on the back of their fortunes instead. Iroha wishes for all Magical Girls to get along, while Touka and Nemu write their own wishes. They argue over where to go next—Touka wants a lookout point in Hokuyo Ward, but Ui resists rushing. Sakurako suggests they also face reality, so they head to Central Ward, still scarred from Walpurgisnacht and Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui admits she used the library as an excuse to bring them here, hoping the Stardust Time Viewer would show them a hopeful future. Nemu summons the Rumor, transporting them to a star-filled space. The Viewer shows Iroha&#039;s future: a world where the Doppel system has expanded globally and all Magical Girls coexist peacefully. Iroha feels embarrassed, but Sakurako assures her the wish is beautiful. When Ui asks to see her own future, the Viewer has nothing to show. Ui realizes this means Touka and Nemu are absent from Iroha&#039;s future and accuses them of planning to die. The vision fades, returning them to the rubble of Central Ward. Touka and Nemu admit they believe they should die for their crimes, pointing to the destruction around them, the Feathers they manipulated, and the innocent people hurt. Sakurako confirms she knew this all along. Ui slaps them both, demanding they consider how she feels. Nemu explains they wanted to do what they could while they still had time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second trial begins. No surveys have arrived. Sakurako agrees to wait one hour. Yachiyo and others leave to retrieve them. Mifuyu confronts Touka and Nemu, asking if they sabotaged the surveys. They admit they did, altering the date so the surveys would not arrive in time. They wanted to be judged and sentenced to death to spare Ui from the hatred directed at them. Ui refuses to accept this. She and Iroha transform to protect them. The hour ends and Sakurako moves to deliver punishment. Iroha and Ui hold her back as Mifuyu and Mitama join the defense. The Amane sisters attack Sakurako with their flutes, accepting heavier sentences. Iroha realizes they can use photos of the surveys as evidence. Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s phones begin chiming with images from Yachiyo and the others. Iroha begs Sakurako to accept the evidence. Sakurako confirms the surveys are real and delays the trial, requiring them to arrive by day&#039;s end. The surveys show Magical Girls believe Touka and Nemu should be punished, but not killed. Some suggest atonement, rehabilitation, or mentorship. Reading the responses, Touka and Nemu weep, but Ui weeps with joy. Based on the surveys, sentences are reduced. Touka and Nemu receive monitoring with transformation-prevention bracelets, while Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s sentences are reduced to monitoring. The Amane sisters are found not guilty and Feathers who revealed themselves have their cases dismissed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the group gathers. Touka and Nemu wear their bracelets. Sakurako serves drinks. Mifuyu asks about tutoring Touka in exchange for help with pharmacy school. Nemu will rely on Sakurako for mobility on difficult days. Tsuruno suggests welcoming them as the Brains of Kamihama. In the kitchen, Sakurako hugs Touka and Nemu, then Iroha and Ui. She tells them she loves them. The days she always dreamed of have arrived. The real spring can finally begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany===&lt;br /&gt;
* Walpurgisnacht&#039;s attack on Kamihama City caused massive damage to Chuo Ward, which the public believes was a natural disaster. Only Magical Girls know the truth and privately, Mitama reflects that the victory gave her hope, but she wonders if the destruction she once wished for can be defied.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0008 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after Walpurgisnacht, Mitama realizes Doyle has not visited her shop and the last saw him the day before Walpurgisnacht. She assumes the storm made him too scared to go out, so she decides to close her shop and search for him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama looks around the vacant land near her shop and a girl named Ritsumi offers to help. Ritsumi’s cat Arthur ran away before, so she knows where cats hide. They search but find nothing and Ritsumi says Arthur now lives with her grandpa. Mitama realizes Ritsumi is the daughter of the neighbor who owns Arthur and Mitama had mistaken Arthur for Doyle and that Ritsumi has never actually seen Doyle. They end the day without clues and Mitama sends a message to the Magical Girls’ group chat asking if anyone has seen a white tabby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama knocks on the neighbor’s door and Ritsumi’s mother answers. She explains that Arthur was sent away two weeks ago to Ritsumi’s grandpa. Mitama realizes that no one knows where Doyle came from. Ritsumi’s mother promises to keep an eye out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana, Asuka, and others from Mizuna Girls’ Academy saw Mitama’s group chat post and they arrive to help. More volunteers soon arrive: Kaede, Kako, Rena, Konoha’s team, and others. They split up to cover Shinsei Ward and Mitama notes that no one else has ever seen Doyle. Konoha says she never saw a cat at Mitama’s shop. Rena also asks for a photo, but Mitama has none.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds Ritsumi near the bus stop and they search door to door. No one in the neighborhood has seen a white tabby kitten either. Ritsumi says she has read all “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” books and that her favorite is “Invisible Epiphany,” about a detective searching for a lost child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko meets Mitama alone. Momoko says she never saw Doyle and neither did Tsukasa or the other girls. Mitama remembers talking to Doyle in front of them, but they saw no cat ither. Momoko suggests a Rumor is involved, as all Rumors disappeared after the fight with the Magius, except the Eternal Sakura. Coincidentally, Doyle disappeared at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls Nemu, who is still in the hospital and Nemu explains that Doyle was part of the Rumor of the Cat Detective. The Rumor possesses detective novel lovers, detects signs of a case, gets the detective involved, and guarantees a solution. Nemu explains she erased almost all Rumors, including this one. Mitama thinks Doyle disappeared because the Rumor was destroyed and she had solved four cases with Doyle’s help, yet the fifth never began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama re-reads her case files and each one has an opening paragraph she does not remember writing. The first case file hints at Hanna Sarasa. The second hints at Tsukasa. The third and fourth also name the culprits. Mitama realizes Doyle left those hints, and Nemu says the Rumor did not cause incidents, only detected them, so those incidents would have happened anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0009 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Kamihama slowly returns to order. Mitama notes that she cannot rely on Doyle anymore and she hopes she does not get any new cases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui and the Eternal Sakura visit Mitama to deliver a lampshade from Yachiyo. Ui says a girl from her school has gone missing and Mitama is shocked to learn the girl is Ritsumi, who did not come home after school yesterday and the police are investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama goes to the bus stop near her shop and finds Ritsumi’s mother. The mother says Ritsumi likely went to Hokuyo Ward to see her grandpa and Arthur. Ritsumi’s parents are separated and her father lives with his parents in Hokuyo Ward. The mother believes Ritsumi wanted to visit them, but the bus route to Hokuyo was suspended after the disaster but has resumed, bypassing Chuo Ward. Soon, Himika calls Mitama. Himika saw a girl matching Ritsumi’s description waiting at the Shinsei Ward bus stop yesterday, reading a book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi arrive and Momoko explains she has been investigating at school. Ritsumi transferred to Kamihama University Affiliated School six months ago after her parents separated and she moved into the building next to Mitama’s shop. Momoko explains Arthur went to live with her father in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo Ward. Mitama realizes the conflicting information: Arthur was first in Chuo Ward, then evacuated to the grandpa’s house in Hokuyo after the disaster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Satomi Medical Center, Nemu discusses the case with Eternal Sakura. Nemu recalls the hidden hints in Mitama’s case files. The last words of each hint spell “Lost Through Time Eternal,” which is the title of volume 12 of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” In that story, a girl runs away to her old home. Nemu deduces that Ritsumi went to her old apartment in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo. She likely got off at the nearest bus stop and walked into the restricted zone, then she had an accident.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Momoko, and Kanagi search the area near the old apartment and they hear a voice. Ritsumi had fallen into an old underground passage and sprained her ankle. She lost track of time and had no phone. Mitama explains she remembered the Doyle book and Ritsumi admits she was copying the girl in the story as she wanted to see the area where she grew up. The three quickly rescue her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ritsumi is taken to a hospital and also discharged quickly. Her parents agree to let her visit both of them and Arthur whenever she likes. Mitama reflects that Doyle gave her confidence and the city she cursed is still standing, so she dares to believe in hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Momoko finally holds the Coordinator Thank-You Party that was postponed earlier and Rena and Kaede thank Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui reads &amp;quot;The Happy Prince&amp;quot; and reflects on her uncertain purpose as a Magical Girl. While walking, she stops Kyubey from contracting a girl outside Kamihama, explaining she cannot let anyone else suffer the fate of becoming a Witch. When Kyubey asks what he should do instead, she has no answer. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia tells Ui she is overthinking things and should focus on her upcoming combat test. Iroha and Yachiyo serve dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno gives Ui an enthusiastic pep talk for her live combat test. To remain in Kamihama, Ui must detect and eliminate a Witch alone—the same test Yachiyo gave Iroha when she first arrived. Yachiyo admits the test may be unfair and offers to let Ui choose a partner. With Iroha busy helping Kanagi, Ui chooses Momoko. They depart together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui struggles to sense the Witch&#039;s magic, so they search Mizuna Ward where young women gather. They encounter a Familiar and follow it to a Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After defeating it, Felicia suddenly appears, attacks them, and runs away. Tsuruno gives chase and tackles her. Felicia&#039;s oblivion magic has erased their memory of the Familiar&#039;s pattern, so they cannot track the Witch. Momoko requests a pause, but Yachiyo refuses, stating unexpected events happen in real combat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia admits she interfered because she is jealous that Ui receives everyone&#039;s attention while she struggled alone as a mercenary. Yachiyo explains that Felicia&#039;s past does not justify making others unhappy. Meanwhile, Ui cheers up after eating crepes with Momoko and resolves to continue. As sunset approaches, they search Sakae Ward but find nothing. Yachiyo offers to bring a Familiar for them to retrack, but it disappears before they arrive. Ui suggests checking Hokuyo Ward on a hunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Hokuyo Ward, Ui senses a different Witch&#039;s magical reaction. They follow Witch-kissed people up a mountain toward a labyrinth. At Yachiyo&#039;s house, the others realize Ui failed the test since Yachiyo had to eliminate the original Witch herself, though Yachiyo will allow a retake. They notice Felicia smiling and suspect she interfered again. Rena confesses she helped Felicia erase the hint because she understood Felicia&#039;s jealousy. Tsuruno says the only person who deserves an apology is Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the mountain, Ui and Momoko enter the Witch&#039;s barrier against Momoko&#039;s better judgment. They fight through Familiars but become trapped and cannot escape. The Witch overwhelms them. Yachiyo and the others arrive and join the fight, but Familiars overwhelm them too. Iroha arrives at the last moment to defend Ui. Ui proposes using her ability to harvest impurities, purifying everyone&#039;s Soul Gems so they can fight at full strength. She will temporarily become a Witch, but the Doppel system will contain it. She absorbs the impurities, and the others destroy the Witch while Ui struggles with the darkness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui unleashes her Doppel and meets her Doppel self, who accuses her of wanting punishment and being jealous of others while trapped in the hospital. Ui nearly agrees to let the Doppel consume her but refuses, recognizing it as the easy way out. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words about taking responsibility and confronting the situation honestly. She accepts her wrongs and her true feelings, realizing this difficult path will bring true happiness. The Doppel admits she is right. Iroha wakes Ui at Mitama&#039;s clinic, where she has been unconscious for some time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama checks on Ui after her first Doppel release. Felicia apologizes for her interference and says she thinks Ui is cool. Rena also apologizes for helping Felicia. Ui accepts their apologies and compliments them both, asking Felicia to teach her things. Rena and Felicia feel terrible for how they treated someone so kind. Later that evening at Yachiyo&#039;s house, everyone celebrates Ui passing her test—though she did not defeat the assigned Witch, she tracked a Witch, stayed calm, used her intelligence, and performed better than expected. Ui tells Iroha she now knows what she wants to do as a Magical Girl. Iroha decides to work with other Kamihama Magical Girls to find a way to free them all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui and Iroha encounter Kyubey outside Kamihama attempting another contract and stop him. Kyubey asks what their goal is. They explain they plan to fight and find a way to coexist with Kyubey—if they can expand Kamihama&#039;s miracle globally, Magical Girls can live happily while providing the energy Kyubey needs. Kyubey welcomes the idea if it avoids conflict but warns that Magical Girls worldwide are not as unified as those in Kamihama. Ui wonders how much happiness she can give to the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Magia Clash!===&lt;br /&gt;
* A Mirror copy of Shizuku opens a portal and steps through into a city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Magia Clash!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama organizes a magical girl team competition inside the Mirrors labyrinth. Kaede and Iroha greet Nanoha, hoping to talk with her, but Kaede is called away when her match begins. Iroha stays behind and watches with Nanoha instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanoha Takamachi#Side Story|Nanoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hayate, Nanoha, and Fate mistake a Mirror copy&#039;s portal for the warp gate to their tournament and are pulled through before Lindy can stop them. Mitama registers the confused but excited trio for the &amp;quot;First Ultimate Magical Girls Team Battle Mirrors Cup,&amp;quot; and they head to the Standby Zone after learning about the Mirror barrier. Meanwhile, Rena, Momoko, and Kaede struggle against unusually strong Familiars, and when Rena twists her ankle, the Nanoha trio steps in to save them. The groups introduce themselves, with the trio explaining they are from Uminary City while concealing their connection to the Administrative Bureau, and Rena warns them about dangerous Mirror copies that lurk deeper in the barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they observe Team Momoko&#039;s match, Nanoha comments on the fighting styles she sees and notes the variety of magic on display. She explains she was taught magic from an early age and is surprised to learn Iroha and the others gained their powers by making wishes to Kyubey. Iroha describes Kyubey as a white stuffed animal, which reminds Nanoha of her own first teacher, Yuuno. Nanoha shares that she discovered magic in third grade when she heard Yuuno calling for help, and since then she has honed her abilities alongside Fate and Hayate to protect others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks about Nanoha&#039;s device, Raising Heart, and how it can transform. Nanoha explains the device taught her magic step by step and once posed an important question to her: what is the most important thing in a fight? Iroha guesses it is the will to win, but before Nanoha can reveal the true answer, Fate and Hayate return from exploring. Fate requests a sparring match, and Iroha asks to watch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo joins Iroha to observe the fight between Nanoha and Fate. The two exchange blows at maximum speed, with Fate using close-range attacks while Nanoha fights from a distance. The match ends in a tie after a final, explosive clash. Before leaving for a break, Nanoha turns to Iroha and reveals the true answer to Raising Heart&#039;s question: wisdom and tactics. Iroha agrees, especially after witnessing their battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Natsuki is fretting over a lost wallet at the Promise Altar, and Ria offers to help her search since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway. Natsuki apologizes for the trouble, but Ria insists she doesn&#039;t mind and even offers to lend her money. Natsuki refuses the loan but admits she needs money for train fare home. She reluctantly agrees to borrow just enough for the trip and promises to pay Ria back later. Ria asks if Natsuki is sure she doesn&#039;t want to file a report, but Natsuki believes the wallet is simply lost rather than stolen and wants to keep searching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hayate Yagami#Side Story|Hayate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria suggests they retrace Natsuki&#039;s steps and asks where she&#039;s been. Natsuki lists the Promise Altar, the station, the shopping district, and an izakaya where she ate with friends. Ria questions why she went to an izakaya alone, and Natsuki clarifies she was with coworkers. Ria finds it odd that Natsuki was drinking with coworkers and then came to the shrine alone afterwards. Natsuki admits it&#039;s a long story involving a former coworker&#039;s engagement announcement that left her feeling restless. She came to the shrine to think but realized she didn&#039;t have enough money to get home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they search, they run into Masara and Kokoro. Masara bluntly tells Natsuki she probably won&#039;t find it and suggests getting a new student ID. Kokoro gently scolds her for being insensitive and offers to help search. Ria mentions they&#039;ve already looked around the shrine, so Kokoro suggests they expand the search area.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group heads to the shopping district, where they encounter Kanoko. She offers to help search as well, and they all continue looking together. Eventually, Ria asks Natsuki to retrace her exact steps from when she left the izakaya. Natsuki recalls walking to the station, realizing she didn&#039;t want to go home yet, and coming to the shrine. Ria points out that she would have needed her wallet to pay the izakaya bill, so she definitely had it after leaving. Natsuki confirms this and remembers using her train pass at the station before changing her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria concludes the wallet must be somewhere between the station turnstiles and the shrine, but they&#039;ve already searched that route thoroughly. Kanoko suggests Natsuki might have dropped it somewhere else without realizing, like when she pulled out her phone. Natsuki&#039;s eyes light up, and she admits she did take out her phone at the station to check something. She just can&#039;t remember what she did with her wallet after that. Ria proposes they split up to cover more ground, and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Natsuki returns home defeated and exhausted. Her father calls out to her, and when she enters the living room, she finds her wallet sitting on the table. Her mother found it in the shopping district and a kind stranger turned it in. Natsuki&#039;s relief quickly turns to panic when she remembers she borrowed money from Ria, and now she has no way to contact her. She considers calling Kokoro but realizes she doesn&#039;t have her number either. She decides to go back to the Promise Altar the next day to hopefully find Ria there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Natsuki returns to the Promise Altar and is relieved to spot Ria. She excitedly explains that her wallet was found and immediately tries to repay the loan. Ria accepts the money but notices Natsuki seems troubled about something else. Natsuki admits she&#039;s been thinking about her former coworker&#039;s engagement and how she handled the situation. Ria offers to listen if Natsuki wants to talk, but Natsuki says she&#039;d rather not burden her further. Ria insists it&#039;s no trouble since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki explains that her former coworker Yukari got engaged and announced it at a gathering. Natsuki congratulated her happily, but another coworker named Ootori made some passive-aggressive comments about how Yukari managed to find someone before her. Later, Ootori apologized to Natsuki for her behavior, but Natsuki feels she should have defended Yukari in the moment. She feels guilty for not speaking up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria asks why she feels responsible for defending Yukari. Natsuki admits it&#039;s because Yukari was always kind to her when she first started the job, and she feels she failed to repay that kindness. Ria points out that Natsuki did congratulate Yukari sincerely, and that was probably what mattered most to her in that moment. Natsuki realizes Ria is right and thanks her for the perspective.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just then, Kanagi arrives, and Ria prepares to leave. Before going, she offers Natsuki her contact information so she can reach out if she ever needs to talk again. Natsuki gratefully accepts, and the two part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During a break in the Mirrors tournament, Fate, Nanoha, and Hayate encounter a copy of Fate that proves too powerful for them to handle alone. Felicia, Kako, and Ayame appear to help, and together they defeat the copy. When Felicia asks what they&#039;re doing there, Fate admits they got lost. The Kamihama girls learn the trio is from out of town and younger than them, but they quickly become friends and head back to the standby zone together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Fate T. Harlaown#Side Story|Fate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group somehow gets roped into a dodgeball game, with teams forming spontaneously among the tournament participants. Fate proves to be exceptionally athletic, leading her team through multiple rounds against increasingly competitive opponents. After defeating Momoko&#039;s team, they face a martial arts team featuring Akira, Meiyui, and Asuka, which Fate also wins. Tsuruno, refusing to let age be a barrier, recruits Masara and Natsuki for a final match against Fate&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match comes down to a intense showdown between Fate and Tsuruno, both catching and returning each other&#039;s throws with increasing speed and power. Fate ultimately outmaneuvers Tsuruno by throwing to Nanoha and leaping into the air for the winning strike. Everyone celebrates the friendly tournament and the new friendships formed across different cities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the tournament progresses, Team Nanoha easily advances through early rounds with Fate&#039;s incredible speed, though Momoko notices Hayate and Nanoha have yet to reveal their full power. Elsewhere, Mitama learns that Momoko announced her team would break up if they lost not because Kaede is useless but to show their conviction, though both Kaede and Rena had doubts. The tournament continues until four teams remain, with Team Momoko advancing to the finals through clever strategy and Team Nanoha defeating Team Masara to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match begins with Fate and Rena clashing in a battle of speed that seemingly knocks both out, leaving Nanoha and Hayate to face Momoko and Kaede. Hayate fuses with Reinforce Zwei and unleashes Ragnarok to take out Kaede, then joins Nanoha against Momoko, who withstands Nanoha&#039;s Starlight Breaker as both girls stand exhausted. Before a winner can be decided, Lindy contacts Nanoha with an emergency: a fugitive illegally opened a rift between worlds, and the Mirror copy of Shizuku appears nearby, having used her powers to connect the Mirror labyrinth to Uminary City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The copy stole the tournament&#039;s grand prize, a special orb that exponentially increases magical power, and the girls call off the match to track her down. Team Nanoha and Team Momoko catch the copy, but after they defeat her, copies of Hayate, Fate, and Nanoha appear and swallow the broken orb pieces, gaining immense power. All the Magical Girls unite to take down the powered-up copies, and through combined efforts they finally delete the magical signatures. With the tunnel between worlds about to collapse, Mitama declares both teams winners, and the girls exchange heartfelt goodbyes before the Nanoha trio returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day in Kamihama, Kaede realizes her texts to Hayate no longer go through, Momoko cannot reach Nanoha or Fate, and Rena cannot find Uminary City on any map. Mitama and Shizuku conclude the girls must have come from a different world entirely, since they needed a space tunnel to travel rather than a simple train ride. Though Kaede is sad they may never meet again, Rena is grateful for the friendship they formed, and the three resolve to work hard for a future rematch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tart / Darc Magica===&lt;br /&gt;
* Through Minou&#039;s spell from 15th-century France, Ui is pulled into the past, with her phone acting as her Soul Gem and Blank Prophecy, with the power to restore the past&#039;s real history.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rebel of a Dawnless Land]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning from the past, Ui finds herself in an antique store, still surrounded by magic bubbles though no memory of what occured. On the floor are the two candles and the old book. She feels they are important but cannot remember why, so she puts them on store shelves before falling asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui wakes up at Mikazuki Villa. Her phone rings with a text of Nemu asking if she knows any charms, as Mitama has been really into them lately. Ui says she knows a charm for good dreams requiring red and blue candles. Nemu asks where she heard about it and Ui isn&#039;t sure but says it was in 15th-century France. Nemu is fascinated and promises to research it. Later, Ui scrolls through her phone and finds a photo she doesn&#039;t recognize with girls she doesn&#039;t know. She begins crying without understanding why and Iroha finds her and hugs her tightly. Suddenly Ui remembers Darc&#039;s final words. She turns to her sister and tells her, &amp;quot;Let&#039;s have a wonderful future together.&amp;quot; Iroha agrees. Ui calms down and heads home to prepare for a slumber party with Nemu and Touka. Iroha, running errands, decides to stop by Mitama&#039;s place afterward. Mitama greets her warmly, mentioning she just learned an interesting little charm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That day, Iroha visits Mitama, who gives her and Yachiyo antique candles for a sweet dream spell. That night, they light the candles and drift off to sleep together, where they&#039;re pulled into the nightmare of Jeanne d&#039;Arc in April 29th, 1429.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Maiden of Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next morning, Yachiyo reveals she had the same dream. They call Mitama, who is surprised they had nightmares instead of sweet dreams. They decide to try the candles again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Kamihama plunged into darkness and all non-Magical Girls vanished. Their Soul Gems have consumed magic in the real world despite no injuries. Realizing the dream affects reality, they decide to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a lot of fighting, they awaken and prepare for the final battle. In this journey they discover that they&#039;d been traveling to Darc&#039;s dream, and if Darc despairs completely, she will turn into a Witch and trigger a catastrophe affecting the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Felicia and Sana gone and Kamihama empty. Breaking into Mitama&#039;s shop, they find a grimoire revealing the candles were made with Darc&#039;s hair, creating a connection to her dream. They return with the book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They finally awaken at Mikazuki Villa to sunshine and normalcy. Felicia demands steak for dinner. Consulting a history book, they read that on May 7th, 1429, Jeanne d&#039;Arc fought at Tourelles after waking from a dream. The battle was fierce but Orléans was liberated. Iroha notices a portrait in the book showing them in their Magical Girl outfits standing beside Jeanne d&#039;Arc.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at Mitama&#039;s shop, Yachiyo recounts everything. Mitama mentions the spell became widespread in France during Jeanne d&#039;Arc&#039;s era. Iroha realizes Melissa must have spread it after learning it from them in the dream. The use of red and blue candles was too specific to be coincidence. Iroha&#039;s head spins trying to figure out where the spell originated. Yachiyo notes the grimoire never mentioned the candle setup, so the spell just circled around and around. They will never know for certain whether they changed history or were always part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* During their slumber party, Ui, Touka, and Nemu encounter a massive witch, [[Crépuscule de La Reine]]. Touka and Nemu vanish, leaving Ui and Sakurako to face it alone. The witch is unaffected by their attacks and disappears, taking Ui with it into 15th-century France once more, this time in the realm of Purgatory which Minou created. With Pernelle&#039;s help, Ui is soon able to also summon Iroha and Yachiyo there as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;endofalegendthelimitsoflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - End of a Legend, the Limits of Light]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Lil&#039; Kyubey and Ui&#039;s phone as the Blank Prophecy are pulled as &amp;quot;If Factors&amp;quot; into the world of Holy Maiden Academy, which Minou created and maintained for six hundred years after being given a Philosopher&#039;s Stone after Isabeau&#039;s death. However, after her plans are thwarted by the &amp;quot;what if&amp;quot; version of Melissa, he returns and wakes in the real world, where Iroha and Ui assure him it was just a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;counc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Masked Student Council Strikes Back]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One weekend, Rui ropes Seira into attending Kamiket, a convention for sharing and selling fan-made media in Kamihama. The two became close friends after discovering they are both Magical Girls, and because Seira is the only one who knows about Rui&#039;s embarrassing secret: a heavy case of chuuni-byo. Rui agreed to bring Seira on the condition that only the two of them would go, ensuring nobody else discovered her secret.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the day of the convention, Rui cannot contain her excitement and slips into character, declaring the convention her sanctuary and the catalog guidebook as Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Her main objective is to purchase the newest installment of her favorite indie game series and meet its creator, MacQueen. On the way to the booth, she accidentally bumps into a stranger who seems irritated about someone not being at the convention yet. When she arrives, the booth attendants inform her that someone has been using counterfeit money, and worse, MacQueen himself is missing. Rui&#039;s imagination immediately conjures a grand conspiracy, but the criminal is soon caught and MacQueen calls to say he overslept. Relieved, Rui takes a photo with the booth girls, but as the picture is taken, chills run down her spine as she senses someone glaring at her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rui dismisses it as her imagination and continues exploring with Seira. Remembering the booth numbers hit by counterfeit money, she realizes they spell the chemical formula for Ricin, a lethal poison. Her imagination ignites again, convincing her that the real attack will come through poisoned food from outside vendors. She rushes them outside to stop the attack, but everyone seems fine, and her Magical Girl ability, which lets her see how close someone is to death, reveals nobody is in danger. Ashamed, she realizes her imagination finally got the best of her and apologizes to Seira. They decide to get lunch, and Rui opens her laptop to install her new game. The screen is black, and in the reflection she sees her own face. Her magic reveals she herself is now close to death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Remembering the chills from earlier, Rui checks the photo and finds the man from earlier glaring at her in the background. She rushes back to the booth to warn the girls, who recognize the man as Miranda, a popular content creator. As they discuss this, MacQueen finally arrives, and Rui sees he is the closest to death&#039;s door, with Miranda also marked. She confronts Miranda, who confesses he intended to kill MacQueen over an alternate ending in the latest game that suggested his favorite sub-heroine may have had a former lover. He pulls out a gun he secretly printed with a smuggled 3D printer. Just as he is about to shoot, Rui shows him a cutscene on her laptop, which is the second part of the alternate ending, unlocked only after clearing the entire game, revealing the sub-heroine fabricated the story to protect the user character. Miranda realizes his mistake and surrenders to security. After the incident, Seira asks if Rui was scared. Rui reveals she always wears chainmail under her clothes and also carried a heavy blunt object for protection, the magically enhanced Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Seira decides to pretend she did not hear that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 11:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura writes in her diary as she and her friends take an air-conditioned express train to the beach for summer vacation. They buy ice cream and enjoy the ride.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Beachside Bonds]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls arrive at their destination, a seaside inn run by Sayaka&#039;s relatives who had a sudden cancellation. Sayaka complains about the heat as they walk to the inn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Sayaka&#039;s aunt shows them to their rooms and warns them not to get lost in the surrounding forest. Outside, two young girls who live at the inn approach Madoka. They ask if she knows someone named Kei, who is looking for someone named Yu. They warn Madoka not to talk to Kei and that she should hold still if Kei enters her room. The girls then leave. Homura suggests Kei might be a cat. They agree to tell the others as Kyoko passes by already in her swimsuit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, the girls play volleyball. Mami spikes the ball hard and hits Homura in the face. They stop the game and Mami frets over Homura. Madoka suggests they rest in the shade while Mami buys something cold. Madoka then suggests they collect pine cones from nearby trees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the forest, a cat appears and leads them deeper into the trees. It guides them to a small shrine, where Homura finds an old notebook. She reads entries from April 20, June 24, August 3, and August 6, all detailing the author&#039;s complicated feelings for someone named Kei. Madoka tells her to put it back without reading further. When they turn around, the cat is gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the beach, Sayaka shares a rumor from the beach house: a girl fell off a nearby cliff years ago and died, and her spirit is reportedly seen rising from the ocean between two and three a.m. Mami shrieks in fear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Kyoko teases Mami about being scared. The conversation turns to ghosts and Kyoko compares them to how normal people might perceive Witches. Madoka feels relieved and tells Sayaka about the twin girls. Sayaka plans to ask them about any pets later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After an Italian dinner, the girls light fireworks on the beach. Kyoko bumps into Hinano Miyako, who doesn&#039;t recognize her but does recognize her Soul Gem ring. Ren Isuzu finds Hinano, followed by Emiri Kisaki and Rika Ayano. The groups combine for fireworks. Emiri admits she used a little magic to help everyone relax, explaining why Kyoko had strange memories of Mami. Kyoko chases Sayaka around the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Heading back to the inn, Sayaka finds her twin cousins lining up stones. They claim the stones protect against Kei entering. They say Kei would hate Sayaka the most because she is nosy, then leave. In her diary, Homura writes that the girls talked until they all fell asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 12&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura&#039;s diary entry describes a dream belonging to someone else. In the dream, the narrator waits for her friend Yusa Yumeno, who arrives with popsicles. The narrator complains that Yusa doesn&#039;t need to come every day, but Yusa insists she can only be her real self around her friend. The narrator believes identity is shaped by others&#039; perceptions. She reveals she may not take college exams due to family obligations and urges Yusa to attend her chosen school, comparing herself to a weed and Yusa to a flower growing in a different direction. The narrator comes home to another hateful letter from classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes in a cold sweat, unable to move. The room smells strongly of seaweed. She sees a pitch-black human shadow sitting between Mami and Sayaka&#039;s futons. It examines their faces, grumbling &amp;quot;wrong, wrong, all wrong.&amp;quot; As it moves toward Madoka, Homura struggles to move. The shadow stops and stares at her, asking &amp;quot;You can see me?&amp;quot; Homura screams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others wake. Sayaka notices the strange smell. Kyoko goes back to sleep. Mami offers water and Homura asks if someone entered the room. They saw no one. Sayaka apologizes for the scary stories. Mami suggests thinking about tomorrow&#039;s fun. Madoka offers to hold Homura&#039;s hand, which she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes early, the ocean scent still strong. She finds the twin girls outside. They ask if she met Kei. Homura asks what Kei is. The girls explain Kei looks like a human made of shadow without facial features, smells of the sea, and emerges from the ocean at night to look for her friend Yu. They repeat that she should do nothing and never talk to her. They notice their protective stones scattered and go to reline them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura suspects this might be a Rumor. She returns to the forest shrine and finds the notebook on the shrine&#039;s lattice door, despite having placed it underneath. She reads entries from May 2, May 20, June 12, and June 26, all detailing the author Yu&#039;s complicated, obsessive feelings for Kei. She replaces the notebook, feeling guilty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Homura recalls more diary entries: July 2 describes Yu placing hands on Kei&#039;s neck as if to strangle her; July 5 compares Kei&#039;s neck to a lizard she killed; July 15 describes Kei now finding Yu after school; July 20 states they should never have met and that both wear bandages to hide bruises on their necks. Madoka points out a small bruise on Homura&#039;s neck.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls begin walking to an aquarium along the coast. Kyoko complains about the distance and suggests fishing instead. Sayaka refuses, traumatized by a recent fishing tournament incident in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the aquarium, they eat fish burgers, marvel at jellyfish, and watch a dolphin and seal show. They leave at sunset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls walk to a cape to watch the sunset. Sayaka warns them not to get too close to the edge, referencing the girl who died. Homura smells flowers and Mami identifies night-blooming jasmine nearby. The scent reminds Homura of her dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recalls another diary entry: August 1 describes Yu feeling happy hearing Kei&#039;s wish despite blaming herself; August 12 states their plan is set for tomorrow, with Yu hoping something will make Kei reconsider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the cape, Kyoko admits feeling down because a cape is the end of the road with nothing after. Mami says it&#039;s more important they could talk again like they used to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary about the difference between the self you know and the self others perceive. She asks Madoka what kind of person she thinks Homura is. Madoka calls her a dear friend who works hard. Homura worries that revealing her time-traveling truth would change this perception. After dinner, the girls settle in for sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 13:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura dreams again of Kei and Yu. Kei calls out that the promised day is here. She has dressed up and brought a ribbon to tie them together. Yu questions if this is right. Kei insists her life belongs only to Yu. They vow: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; They promise to kill each other for every reincarnation as proof of who they are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A voice calls Homura to wake. She awakens to find Madoka standing with eyes closed, enveloped in shadow. Madoka snaps her eyes open and proclaims repeatedly &amp;quot;I got in.&amp;quot; She calls out for Yu, saying the promised day is finally here. Madoka runs into the forest toward the cliff. Homura chases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the cape, everything grows dark. Madoka, possessed by Kei&#039;s spirit, tells Homura that the drowned Chinese girl&#039;s body washed up here and she is looking for her father&#039;s ship. Homura urges her to chase after the girl to escape, but Kei claims Homura will kill her as soon as they leave. Homura transforms and attempts to freeze time but finds her magic has no effect in this place where time does not flow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren&#039;s voice calls out. She informs Homura that the others are searching for them, but only Ren could traverse into this abyss. Ren suggests this might be similar to her own magic rather than a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kei admits she tried possessing Homura but could not, so she settled for Madoka. She explains she is a faint memory staining the cliffside. The drowned girl&#039;s spirit helped her recall all her memories clearly. She describes how she and Yu bound themselves together and jumped into the ocean, but the waves pulled them apart. Kei died; Yu survived. Kei wants to kill Yu so they can kill each other throughout eternity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura refuses to stay in the abyss with Madoka. Kei transforms Madoka into her magical girl state and attacks. Ren blocks the blow and tries to use her magic to draw out the possession. Homura calls out the vow Kei and Yu made, distracting Kei. Ren attempts her magic but the ghost of the drowned Chinese girl deflects it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren realizes the ghost girl is not a girl but the root cause: the Witch Paola. The barrier forms and Homura fights the Witch alone while Ren hurries to catch up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier dissipates and Homura faces the possessed Madoka on the cape. Kei accuses Homura of killing her. Homura tells her to shut up and leave their lives alone. Kei explains she will soon fade if Yu is not there. She begs Homura to kill Yu if she ever meets her, before her soul breaks and she becomes like the Witch. She begs Homura to keep this promise no matter where they meet or how many worlds Homura visits. Kei then relinquishes Madoka&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren arrives, relieved they are safe. Madoka wakes with no memory, thinking she simply tossed and turned. The other girls find them and celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary, describing the events as too strange to comprehend. She reflects on Kyubey&#039;s use of the term &amp;quot;soul&amp;quot; and questions what a soul truly is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka sighs that even on vacation they dealt with a Witch. Kyoko thinks she&#039;s getting rusty. Mami suggests Homura was right about a Witch mixing with a Rumor. Madoka telepathically tells them to quiet down since Homura is asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her final dream, Homura sees Yu wake in a hospital on an unknown date. Kei died. Their bruises were dismissed. Yu returned to school where others used her grief as their own. Unable to bear going on without Kei, she nearly threw herself off the cliff again. All she holds onto is their final words: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; But if the Yu that died that day is gone, who is the girl writing now? An image of Kyubey flashes on the screen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Deep in the dream, Homura recalls Kei&#039;s plea on the cliff. But Homura never agreed or promised anything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summer Treasures===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko wakes to find Mitama and Ui standing over her, learning they were washed ashore and rescue will arrive in two days. Mitama assigns tasks: shelter, bamboo, water, plants, and fishing. Before Kyoko leaves, Mitama asks her to transform, revealing she adjusted Kyoko&#039;s Soul Gem while she was unconscious to give her a Magical Girl swimsuit that allows her to swim. Mitama promises the transformation is reversible but looks forlorn, warning that if Kyoko does not have fun on the island, she might forget how to undo it. Kyoko reluctantly agrees to cooperate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer Treasures]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko discovers she can swim and catches plenty of fish. While gathering firewood, she finds a piece of wood with the words &amp;quot;water&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;bottom&amp;quot; written on it and tosses it onto the pile. Back at camp, Mitama and Karin show her a treasure map they found. Mitama has built a large shelter, and Karin started a fire using skills from a manga. Kyoko helps Kanagi and Ui carry supplies back from the stream. When Mitama offers to cook, Kyoko and Kanagi immediately stop her. Kyoko distracts Mitama with the treasure map and cooks dinner instead, with Ui&#039;s help. The group enjoys the meal together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 2 on the deserted island and Mitama decides they will go treasure hunting. The group examines the map and the wooden tablet Kyoko unknowingly gathered for firewood, which tells of a fallen warrior&#039;s treasure hidden on the island. They follow directions to a clearing but find nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui falls into a pitfall, and Karin follows. Kyoko pulls them out with a vine, and they discover another tablet at the bottom. Kyoko realizes the piece of wood she threw into the campfire was likely one of the tablets, but she keeps quiet, hoping to make the group give up without upsetting Mitama. Mitama triggers a trap and is caught hanging from a tree. The group frees her, but everyone wants to continue despite Kyoko&#039;s warnings. Kyoko claims they are being followed, hoping to blame the missing tablet on someone else, but the stalker turns out to be a tabby kitten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group reaches a damaged clue they cannot read. Mitama deduces the final location is the waterfall, but they find nothing. Mitama stares at Kyoko, suggesting the tablet might have been lost. Kyoko panics internally. She blasts part of the riverbed, revealing a hidden underwater path she remembered from the burned tablet&#039;s words. Kanagi scouts and reports a cave at the end. Karin and Ui stay behind while Kyoko, Mitama, and Kanagi swim through using guide vines.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the cave, they endure swarms of mosquitoes until Mitama drives them away. At the back, they find a treasure box. Kyoko opens it carefully. Inside is a letter revealing the treasure hunt was a promotional stunt for the Sayu-Sayu Mizuna Tourism Project, abandoned due to mosquitoes and safety concerns. They left a paper with Sayu-Sayu&#039;s sword designs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko hides the truth and leads the group to a cliff with a stunning sunset view. Everyone agrees it is a rare treasure. Kyoko admits she burned one of the tablets for firewood. Mitama apologizes for pressuring her and promises to change her back. The group returns late at night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, the helicopter arrives. Iroha calls down to them. As they prepare to leave, the kitten runs off, and the group chases it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few weeks later. Sayuki, Ria, Mayu, her manager, and producer arrive on the same island to film a special. They find the bamboo house and campfire remains. The kitten appears, followed by Kyoko chasing it. Ui and Karin catch up, and Karin recognizes Sayuki as Sayu-Sayu. Kyoko realizes this is the idol behind the fake treasure hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Kanagi, and Iroha arrive. Sayuki greets Mitama warmly. Telepathically, Kyoko warns Mitama about Sayuki&#039;s connection to the treasure hunt. Mitama cryptically tells her to leave it. Karin and Ui want to stay and watch the filming. Sayuki offers to let them return on her boat. She explains her special involves a survival quiz using the Kaigiri sword. Ui and Karin are excited. Mitama and Kyoko exchange a look, hoping to preserve Ui&#039;s good memories without revealing the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Filming begins. They cheer from the sidelines. Later, they all pile onto the boat together, many exhausted and falling asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Late July before summer vacation, Ui and Sakurako go shopping. Ui buys a picture diary and mentions wanting to swim with fish in a place like the Dragon Palace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Sakurako consults Ryo, then works with Touka, Nemu, Ryo, and Ikumi to build the Uwasa Aquarium, Dragon Palace within her Rumor, incorporating elements for everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the aquarium event, Touka and Nemu guide Iroha, Ui, Yachiyo, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia to the space. Everyone enjoys swimming, themed attractions, and food tailored to their interests. Sakurako warns them never to open the Treasure Casket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia opens the box, releasing a malice entity that takes Sakura&#039;s form. Normal attacks fail. The group cheers, empowering Sakurako to destroy it. Ryo reveals they planned this interactive show.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end, Sakurako creates cherry blossom petals despite being told not to overexert herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sakurako wakes in Iroha&#039;s room after collapsing from magic overexertion. Nemu and Touka explain Uwasa can die. Ui tearfully asks her to take better care. Sakurako promises to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Iroha suggests a beach trip. Touka, Nemu, and Ui enthusiastically plan it. Sakurako notices the aquarium has been forgotten in their conversation and grows quiet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day Sakurako returns to the empty aquarium. Reflecting on Nemu&#039;s words, she spirals into fear that she will die, be forgotten, and disappear. She hides.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha searches for her. Ryo and Ikumi arrive later. Ryo senses she is there and uses a tactic, claiming he will stop looking and eventually forget her. Sakurako emerges crying, begging not to be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo shows her Ui&#039;s picture diary, which dedicates many pages to the aquarium day. Sakurako realizes memories are what she can leave behind and agrees to return home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Sakurako returns and explains she now understands that as long as memories remain, she will not be forgotten. She asks to host the aquarium again for more Magical Girls. With promises to monitor her health and using Shizuku&#039;s teleportation to hide the location, the others agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, various Magical Girls arrive and enjoy the aquarium. Rena notices the Treasure Casket. Sakurako explains it contains stored memories she hopes someone will vividly recall when she is gone, so she will not be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kamihama in a Circle===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren arrive in a new ward, with Rika frustrated about oversleeping. They notice another Magical Girl nearby. Elsewhere, Konomi arrives alone while Kako declines to participate due to her team&#039;s policy. Manaka scolds Ria for being late because of her hair. Masara, Kokoro, and Aimi gather at a park, with Kokoro convincing Masara to participate. Reira, Mito, and Seika discuss the upcoming gathering of Magical Girls who have fought together before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Kamihama in a Circle]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo finish chores that had been delayed by Felicia&#039;s laundry mishap. They reflect on everything that has happened since Iroha came to Kamihama searching for Ui—the investigations, battles with the Wings of Magius, the automatic purification system, and the truth about Witches spreading. Despite the chaos, things have begun to settle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo rush to the park, worried about being late. Tsuruno meets them and playfully scolds them before carrying them the rest of the way. Iroha reflects on meeting Tsuruno while investigating Uwasas, and how their bonds grew stronger through battling together. She notes that everyone at Mikazuki Villa has decided to support one another.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group stops at a convenience store. Felicia appears, having visited Ayame first. Konoha and Hazuki are not coming to the gathering, but Yachiyo notes they have helped in the past. Felicia asks for chocolate. Iroha reflects on first meeting Felicia when she was a violent mercenary, and how living together has changed them both. She notes that Yachiyo has cared for Felicia more than anyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group takes a shortcut through a back alley. They find Sana hiding, having spotted Kaede&#039;s cat Gorojiro. Sana explains she was patrolling for dangerous Magical Girls while staying hidden. Iroha thanks her but assures her she can relax today. They invite her to join them. Iroha reflects on sympathizing with Sana&#039;s isolation and how Mikazuki Villa became an important place for them all. Yachiyo notes that Sana, once invisible to everyone but Magical Girls, is gradually finding her place in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui, Touka, and Nemu meet the group. They have visited their old hospital to update the doctors and nurses who cared for them. Touka discusses her research on connecting universes, admitting practical application remains difficult but the possibility exists. Iroha reflects on how it still feels like a dream to see the three of them together. Yachiyo notes that while their past methods were wrong, their purpose of liberating Magical Girls was not, and that purpose continues now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, Rena, and Kaede join them, having stopped at a retro arcade where they won a stuffed animal together despite their usual arguing. Touka reveals a small possibility for connecting universes has been found, using the Endless Mirrors. Iroha reflects on first meeting Momoko and Kaede, and now sharing lunches with Rena. Yachiyo notes the three have strong bonds as a team and helped convince other Magical Girls after the truth about witches spread.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama joins, having taken a break from her shop to visit Kanagi. Tsuruno asks about using Mirrors to connect to other universes. Mitama confirms she and Kanagi have accompanied Touka and Nemu into the Mirrors. Nemu explains they were only experimenting with precautions. Touka insists she has plans if things go wrong. Mitama notes Mirrors has become more complex and will need more entrances. Iroha reflects on meeting Kanagi relatively recently and how they now work together despite past rivalry. She also thinks of Mitama&#039;s help and her surprising wish, but notes the city is moving forward. She wants to hold hands with more people and form a circle together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** From a distance, Iroha and Yachiyo watch Magical Girls gathering at the park. Felicia attempts to cure Iroha&#039;s nerves by hitting her, claiming Tsuruno said it would help. Tsuruno quickly corrects her. Hinano arrives, reporting on her task regarding Alina. Karin, who attends school with Alina, explains Alina is still missing and she does not know where she is. Iroha promises they will find her together. Mifuyu arrives with the Amane twins, apologizing for being late. Yachiyo thanks Mifuyu. Iroha reflects that a new step is beginning. Yachiyo notes her story started moving when Mifuyu disappeared, while Iroha&#039;s began with strange dreams. They have connected with so many Magical Girls. One chapter has ended and a new one is about to begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha addresses the gathered Magical Girls, thanking them for coming. She reflects on fighting together against powerful Witches and sharing knowledge about their fate. Yachiyo notes they started from individual concerns, fought Uwasas and the Wings of Magius, and gained something greater in return. Their purpose is now the same as their former enemies: the liberation of Magical Girls. They seek coexistence with Kyubey without sacrificing themselves. Iroha acknowledges not everyone could participate, but all have agreed to help each other. Yachiyo admits skepticism is natural. Iroha declares that by expanding the automatic purification system across Kamihama, they can welcome liberation and coexist with Kyubey. Yachiyo announces they will work together under a new name starting today.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha begins to declare their new name but is interrupted by a flash of light. Wings appear on her back, and Yachiyo also grows wings. Feathers fall across the park. Yachiyo recalls this phenomenon helped them against Walpurgisnacht. Iroha wonders if it is a blessing upon the Magical Girls of Kamihama holding hands. With this blessing, they declare again that the Magical Girls gathered here are allies who will support each other in hardship. They declare themselves the Kamihama Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the establishment of the Kamihama Magia Union, a celebration is held at Walnut&#039;s. During the party, Manaka receives a phone call and panics, announcing that Nemu has been kidnapped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A New Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group splits up to search nearby areas but finds nothing. Hinano eventually discovers Nemu held hostage by Black and White Feathers from outside Kamihama. Using Ryo and Ikumi to infiltrate, their cover is blown and they are surrounded. Sakurako jumps in to defend them as Iroha arrives with reinforcements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The lead Feather explains they kidnapped Nemu to convince the Magius to lead them again, as they do not know how to achieve liberation on their own. Iroha explains the Kamihama girls share their goals but reject their methods. Nemu and Touka ask the Feathers to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before they can respond, white feathers rain from the sky again, the same power that helped them defeat Walpurgisnacht returns, but this time it feels uncontrolled and dangerous. Touka explains her experiment partially worked, creating a wormhole to another world, but the interference may crush their world. Kanagi and Mitama fail to disable the device sending the signal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana sneaks Nemu to where the device was stationed, but the labyrinth is gone. Nemu enters the password anyway, but nothing happens. The world shakes and a voice urges them to close the gate. Iroha realizes the power is trying to help, not hurt them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo devises a plan: Ui will absorb the magic built up inside them, Touka will convert it, and Iroha will fire an arrow to close the gate. As the sun sets, they enact the plan and succeed. The feathers stop falling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks the Feathers to reconsider joining them. The lead Feather admits her stubbornness and rage, and Nemu and Touka apologize. The Feathers accept, becoming the first recruits to the union on the day it was established.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Late that night, the group gathers outside Walnut&#039;s. They discuss the voice they heard and the power from another universe. Touka throws a tantrum over everyone calling her experiment a failure, and her stress causes her to unleash her Doppel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, a mysterious magical girl observes and turns to report back to the Tokime Tribe. In another place, a different magical girl also observes and decides to report her findings. In a different location, Kagome Satori has found Iroha at last, promising to keep a record of their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tracks of Cherry Blossoms===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako reflects on her nature as an Uwasa created by Iroha and Nemu. Though her duty to bloom when the four girls reunited is now fulfilled, she continues attending school as Sakurako Hiiragi. When Ryo comments that she is like a god who will never change, Sakurako questions other Uwasa and learns from the Anonymous AI that they act according to their Rumor forever, never stopping and never changing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later during a Kamihama Magia Union meeting, Iroha proposes a cherry blossom viewing to help members connect. Touka objects to using the Eternal Sakura, wanting to preserve it as a secret shelter. Tsuruno suggests Sankyo&#039;s famous cherry blossom viewing spot instead. Touka challenges Sakurako to visit the Sankyo tree and judge its worthiness herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako visits the Sankyo cherry tree. While observing it, she meets an elderly man who has appreciated the tree for decades. He explains the tree has watched over people for over eighty years, since before the war. Sakurako realizes this tree has lived far longer than her zero-year existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at school, Hinano and Ryo find Sakurako still fixated on the tree. Ryo shares what she knows: the tree served as a disaster shelter in the Meiji era, and famous restaurants once served food there for foreign cherry blossom viewers. After school, Sakurako returns to the tree. The elderly man and his wife visit again. The wife gives her cherry blossom-scented cookies, and the man gives her a hand warmer. A girl jogging past stops to pray at the tree, explaining she sees it as a sacred place before tournaments.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako continues visiting. Manaka and Tsumugi stop by, and Sakurako gives them the cookies she cannot eat. Sakurako reflects on how this tree has watched over thousands of people for over a century while she was created to watch only four girls. She realizes for the first time that time is passing around her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later at Mikazuki Villa, Sakurako observes the four girls and Ui talking about her teacher. Sakurako concludes the Sankyo tree is worthy of hosting the cherry blossom viewing. She decides she needs to practice making it bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over the following days, Sakurako continues visiting the tree, growing closer to the elderly couple. She forgets about practicing blooming, more interested in talking with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the elderly man announces he will be hospitalized and they can no longer walk together. The woman explains she must care for him. The man reveals they kept walking because seeing Sakurako brought back fond memories of their belief in meeting a sakura spirit. Sakurako is left standing alone, realizing their time together has ended.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at the tree, Sakurako encounters the jogging disciple, who explains she is moving away and will soon leave the dojo. She then encounters Ui&#039;s teacher, who reveals she is being transferred to another school. Sakurako realizes that by the time the cherry blossoms bloom, all these people will be gone. She feels pain and fears that Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu will eventually disappear too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Ryo observes Sakurako&#039;s deteriorating state. A neighbor of the elderly couple approaches Sakurako and informs her there has been a passing in the family. Hinano later explains this means someone has died. Sakurako disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako asks Iroha and Yachiyo what to do when someone dies. Yachiyo explains about funerals and sending flowers as a last gift. Sakurako returns to the Sankyo tree and, using her power, makes it bloom for the first time, sending cherry blossoms into the sky for the grandfather. But she still aches from not saying goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and other Uwasa grow concerned, having heard rumors that when Sakurako makes cherry blossoms bloom, someone disappears. Sakurako concludes that if she lets the cherry blossoms bloom, the four girls might disappear. When Iroha confirms the cherry blossom viewing plans, Sakurako announces she will not let the tree bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo publishes the full Tracks of Cherry Blossoms article, detailing Sakurako&#039;s experiences. The girls read it and understand her association between blooming and parting. Yachiyo suggests teaching her that spring also brings new encounters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the picnic arrives. Iroha invites Sakurako, assuring her she does not need to make the tree bloom. Sakurako agrees to attend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the picnic, Asuka&#039;s disciple appears, explaining she came to let Sakurako know she is not sad about leaving. Ui&#039;s teacher arrives and tells Ui that her care will be passed on to the next teacher. Manaka debuts a new cherry blossom dessert, continuing the tradition in new form. Sakurako begins to understand that farewells are not always sad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the picnic, Sakurako remains at the tree. She admits she still cannot bring herself to make it bloom. Yachiyo tells her that wanting to see the couple again proves she has a heart. Sakurako despairs that Uwasa simply cease to exist. She buys one of Manaka&#039;s new desserts, hoping to give it to them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako waits at the tree daily, carrying the dessert. Rumors spread about the girl under the sakura tree. The girls grow concerned. Nemu warns that if Sakurako does not accept reality, she may destroy herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the time expires, the elderly couple suddenly appears. The grandfather was never dead. The passing was a relative. They had been away helping their daughter with a new baby. The woman explains they named their granddaughter Sakurako. Sakurako gives them the dessert and explains she now understands that encounters and goodbyes take many forms. She says she will not come regularly anymore but is grateful for their time together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo gives Sakurako a photograph of her with the elderly couple. Sakurako thanks her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Historical Research Club at Kosho School consists of three Magical Girls: president Mikura Komachi, her childhood friend Temari Kira, and underclassman Seira Mihono. When the club advisor informs them that without proof of accomplishments, next year&#039;s budget will not be approved, the trio decides to create a film based on a real Kamihama tragedy for the cultural festival. Mikura discovers a Taishō-era story about a romance between a disgraced Mizuna daughter named Ruri and a successful East-side businessman named Tsukihiko that ended in murder-suicide. Temari writes the script while Seira secures a Western mansion as a filming location. While scouting, they encounter a Witch and realize casting regular students would be impossible due to Magical Girl duties, so they use Coordinator Mitama Yakumo to recruit an all-Magical Girl cast including Ria Ami, Yukika Nanase, the Amane sisters, and Sakurako, an Uwasa created by Nemu Hiiragi. Mikura reluctantly agrees to play the male lead Tsukihiko, while Seira takes the role of Ruri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Filming begins at the actual mansion where the tragedy occurred, with Seira using her stage direction magic to create effects and the cast delivering startlingly accurate performances. Mikura discovers Tsukihiko&#039;s actual diary in the museum archives, revealing he genuinely loved Ruri and intended to break things off with his childhood friend. Temari secretly revises the ending to reflect this truth, working through the night until her Soul Gem tarnishes. Mikura cleanses her gem, and they lock the revised script away, keeping it hidden from Seira to make her performance more authentic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After filming wraps, strange rumors spread that the Historical Research Club is forming a new faction, and the affected Magical Girls begin acting as if possessed by their roles. This escalates when Kanagi Izumi and Yachiyo Nanami nearly fight over a perceived slight involving Riko. At Mitama&#039;s shop, Nemu Hiiragi explains the truth: Seira&#039;s stage direction magic immersed the cast, Mikura&#039;s magic, which restores lost things, reconstructed the historical personalities in the present, and Temari&#039;s kotodama magic caused them to follow her script. Their powers synergized to create a dangerously accurate reenactment. Nemu warns that the script&#039;s next events—Ruri&#039;s disappearance and the murder-suicide—may occur, and they realize Seira, possessed by Ruri, has vanished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Temari consults Kyubey, who reveals Ruri was a Magical Girl with the same kotodama magic who wished to live a storybook romance. When she realized her own novel&#039;s plot was manifesting as tragedy, she destroyed the manuscript to save Tsukihiko, but the act shattered her mind. Freed from the script&#039;s constraints, the couple&#039;s fate became unpredictable, and Ruri, unable to bear the fear of losing him, killed him and herself. Kyubey explains destroying the script will end the magic but damage Temari&#039;s psyche. Temari resolves to protect her friends without resorting to that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Seira, still possessed as Ruri, steals the diary copy and flees to Tsukihiko&#039;s mansion. Mikura and Temari pursue. At the mansion, Ruri prepares to atone by dying by her own hand. Mikura, wearing Tsukihiko&#039;s costume, dances with her as Tsukihiko&#039;s persona surfaces, steadying her. When Ruri moves to stab herself, Temari summons the others for backup, and they disarm her. Tsukihiko explains he could not stop her a century ago but succeeded this time. He and Ruri thank Temari—her script reached the hearts it was meant to—and they vanish. A fire destroys the original diary and all related documents, fulfilling Ruri&#039;s final wish to be forgotten. Mikura and Seira retain only fragments of the true story and agree to keep the tragedy of the two maladroit lovers a secret between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the club room, Seira panics that without evidence of their film, the Historical Research Club will be disbanded. They consider another project but have time until the cultural festival. Temari suggests they each find a home where they can rest easy, and Mikura replies she has already found hers: this provisional club room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ayaka and Shizuku are at a local café when Ayaka laments that many Halloween events in Kamihama were canceled due to damage in Chuo Ward. Wanting to do something to cheer up the city, Ayaka&#039;s eyes sparkle as Shizuku suggests she organize something herself, leading Ayaka to decide on a live comedy show. She asks Shizuku to be her partner, but Shizuku is unsure about the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ayaka meets Seika at her apartment, and Seika is happy to be Ayaka&#039;s comedy partner but asks about the logistics of broadcasting the show. Ayaka brushes off the practical concerns, insisting that the desire to make others smile is what truly matters, and Seika rises to the challenge, wanting to give back after years of Ayaka&#039;s comedy encouraging her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Ayaka and Seika form a manzai duo and practice daily into the evening, with Ayaka tutoring Seika on speaking louder and explaining the rhythm between the boke and tsukkomi roles. Seika struggles but keeps trying, at one point asking if she can use a whip against Ayaka, causing Shizuku to shake her head, but Ayaka insists manzai does not use props.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During one practice session, Shizuku chuckles at their serious expressions, and Ayaka decides she needs a fresh audience, spotting someone passing by and running off with Seika to practice on him. Shizuku watches them go, thinking she would have liked to help, but then hears a shout and goes to investigate, discovering the stranger is actually a spokesperson for a local sweets retailer who is also in charge of the annual Halloween event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The spokesperson explains he had wanted to take the event public since few companies are participating this year, and he thinks Ayaka&#039;s manzai would be perfect, inviting them to perform. Ayaka cannot stop smiling at the opportunity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the Halloween event, Ayaka is excited and Shizuku compliments her costume as they wait, but Ayaka mentions Seika has not arrived. Seika calls weakly to explain she has a fever and will be late, and Ayaka tells her to rest and focus on getting better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Shizuku asks what Ayaka will do about the manzai, Ayaka puts a hand on her shoulder and asks Shizuku to be her partner. Shizuku is reluctant to stand on stage but gives in after Ayaka repeatedly begs, and having watched countless practices, she memorized the skit, so they head to the stage together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform their skit about a werewolf that transforms by staring at the sun, with Ayaka calling everyone in the audience chimimouryou, and they continue through the routine until they finish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Backstage, Seika managed to make it there to congratulate them, and Ayaka tells her she should be resting. Shizuku did not see anyone laughing but hopes someone passing by might have smiled, and since Ayaka looks happy, she decides not to mention it. Seika apologizes for missing the show, and Ayaka says it was thanks to Shizuku, who warns she will not do something like that again. Ayaka smiles and says comedy must be amazing if Shizuku was willing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral===&lt;br /&gt;
* The core members of the Kamihama Magia Union gather to plan a Halloween party, with Karin suggesting the event and Mitama offering her adjuster shop as the venue. Kanagi feels unsettled by the theme of the dead returning but dismisses her unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the performance, Momoko arrives late to rehearsal at Mitama&#039;s shop and finds herself in a strange castle filled with unfamiliar magic. Yachiyo and Mifuyu act strangely, singing about making sugar skeletons and insisting Momoko must be bitten by the lord of the castle. Momoko flees and encounters Kanagi, who also attempts to bite her before Momoko realizes she is the lord of the castle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama rescues Momoko, explaining that Kanagi is under a witch&#039;s influence and everyone bitten loses their sanity. Mitama performs an emergency adjustment on Momoko, granting her temporary prayer power to restore those affected. Momoko explores the castle, observing magical girls making sugar skeletons engraved with how they want to be mourned, and encounters deceased magical girls who are manifestations from Kanagi&#039;s memories. Using her prayer power on them causes them to disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko restores several bitten girls and learns from a manifestation of Ryo that the only answer Kanagi needs lies within herself. When Momoko reaches Kanagi, her prayer power fails and Kanagi bites her, pulling Momoko into her memory space. There, Momoko witnesses Kanagi&#039;s memories of loss and grief, realizing Kanagi lacks confidence in how she mourns and has been seeking answers from the dead by asking living friends what they would want.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko confronts Kanagi again, insisting she can mourn in her own way and should accept herself. Kanagi reveals a small parasite on her neck, and together they tear the witch off and defeat it as the castle collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Momoko and Kanagi meet to visit graves together. They ask each other to mourn in their own way if one dies first, then reaffirm their priority is finding a way for everyone to survive before departing together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Felicia and Tsuruno travel through a perpetual Christmas world as Reindeer Santas, their motorcycle fueled by smiles. They visit Candy Town, where they meet Riko, Mikage, and Sudachi, and use a magical medal game to multiply candy and bond with the girls before departing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Angels on the Road]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui explains that Little Vacation is a game Touka and Nemu created during their hospital stay, where AI versions of themselves live in a Christmas world. The game evolved on its own after being forgotten, and now Ui and the others can influence their AI counterparts&#039; journey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When one resident vanishes, they discover through a time capsule that departures may be joyful graduations rather than losses. They collect smile-fuel and leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Ui chooses to preserve the game world but cut the connection. Touka modifies the game&#039;s physics to make crossing into the real world theoretically possible but practically impossible, preserving the characters&#039; hope while ensuring safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Christmas String===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu are organizing books in Touka&#039;s hospital room when they discover a mysterious diary that begins glowing. Their consciousnesses are transported to Mizutoku Market Street in December of the previous year. They find themselves incorporeal and transformed into Magical Girls, with Nemu&#039;s legs healed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Christmas String]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December last year, Touka and Nemu witness Tsukasa Amane shopping for gloves. When a discount poster blows away, Tsukasa passes the store without stopping, creating a contradiction with the diary&#039;s account. Touka and Nemu begin to fade. A young girl named Kuu hears their voices and believes they are guardian spirits. They ask her to replace the poster. Tsukasa returns, buys the gloves, and Touka and Nemu rematerialize. They later observe Tsukasa and Tsukuyo exchanging matching gloves, their bond restored.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in December last year, Touka and Nemu arrive in Sakae Ward. Karin Misono drops her sketchbook. A boy named Mii appears and can see them. They ask him to return the sketchbook to Karin, which he does. They learn Mii recently fought with Kuu and advise him to give her a Christmas present.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December 24th of last year, Touka and Nemu arrive at a hotel room where Kuu is with her parents. They learn she is moving to a foreign country in one hour. The diary page is blank, indicating free will. They find Mii at a secondhand bookstore, where he has just purchased &amp;quot;Christmas Bonds&amp;quot; for Kuu. They tell him about the move. Mii convinces his mother to rush to the hotel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At 17:50, Mii arrives moments before Kuu&#039;s bus departs. He gives her the book and the children reconcile and exchange promises to stay in touch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately 30 years later, on Christmas Eve, Touka and Nemu arrive in a future time. A girl greets them as the Christmas guardian spirits. She reveals she is the daughter of Mii and Kuu and made a contract with Kyubey to meet them. They realize her wish created the diary and caused their time slip. The girl asks them to tell her about the day they helped her parents. They share the story. Afterwards, they see images of a happy future but the final page remains blank, meaning the future depends on their own actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On present day late at night, Touka and Nemu wake up in the hospital room. Ui arrives, having visited Alina and Karin. They ask her about buying Christmas cards. Ui is surprised but agrees to take them. The diary ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Sayaka loses a lottery for a violin concert ticket she wanted to give to Kyosuke. Madoka remembers the Kamihama Calligraphy Rally offers a couple&#039;s ticket to the same concert as its grand prize, so Homura insists they enter as a team of three to help Sayaka win.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, on the day of the rally, the team meets at Mizuna Shrine in kimono. They must collect kanji cards from shops across Kamihama using hints, then form a four-kanji congratulatory word and write it as calligraphy. They struggle with the hints initially, meeting Kako, Natsuki, and Ria along the way who help them obtain various kanji, though they frequently misinterpret clues and visit wrong locations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka grows guilty over her indecisiveness and apologizes to Madoka and Homura, but they happily agree to continue working with her. Renewed, Sayaka leads them to finally obtain useful kanji. Along the way, they encounter crying children who need the &amp;quot;ball&amp;quot; card, and Sayaka gives them hers. The grateful children give her other cards in return, allowing her to reform a new word. She later gives away another card to a girl who dropped hers, leaving them short again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With time running out, they meet Iroha and her friends, who help them locate the remaining kanji. Sayaka deduces they can form &amp;quot;The Manchu-Han Imperial Feast,&amp;quot; a legendary celebratory feast name. Kyoko appears and mentions seeing a golden kagami mochi at Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant, where they obtain their final card.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the shrine just before the deadline. The judges are impressed by their word choice and backstory, and the crying children told them about Sayaka&#039;s kindness. Her calligraphy is praised for its beauty and passion, earning her team first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Sayaka holds the couple&#039;s tickets but panics, unable to figure out how to give one to Kyosuke without awkwardness. Madoka and Homura continue cheering her on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocolatier in Mirror Country===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro, Masara, Konomi, Asuka and Sasara gather at Manaka&#039;s place to plan their charity bazaar booth. Kokoro and Masara participate to help Himika&#039;s family without making it obvious, while Asuka and Sasara join to invite a lonely girl named Chi whose father died. Konomi&#039;s booth was invited directly due to her popular Valentine&#039;s bouquets. They agree on a collaboration between Walnuts and Blossom the florist, dividing tasks among themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Warming Valentine]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Manaka&#039;s father&#039;s help, Kokoro and Masara make bear-shaped chocolates. Asuka recruits dojo volunteers, Sasara invites Chi and designs leaflets, and Konomi prepares bouquets with Izayoi&#039;s help decorating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the bazaar, adults receive bouquets with donation and children get free chocolates. Chi and her mother visit happily. Himika initially refuses chocolate but accepts after realizing her siblings want it, and they enjoy the day together. The event succeeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later at a celebration party, Sasara and Kokoro feel their efforts changed nothing. Masara scolds them for impatience, explaining kindness takes time. Kanagi and Asuka arrive with good news that Himika&#039;s family is making White Day gifts, and Chi&#039;s mother now calls daily. Relieved, they enjoy the party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Valentine&#039;s Day, girls give chocolates to loved ones. Sasara gives to her father, Asuka to her cousin, and Konomi to her aunt. Masara and Kokoro exchange chocolates at their favorite spot, and Kokoro tearfully reconciles with her parents. Elsewhere, Rena and Tsukuyo each struggle to give chocolates to Kaede and Tsukasa. Following a rumor, they separately pray at a radio tower, accidentally encounter each other, and successfully give their chocolates when Kaede and Tsukasa also arrive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, in Mitakihara, Nagisa bakes a chocolate cake with Mami while feeling that something is wrong, as her memories feel hazy and she seems more childish than she should be. She realizes her memories of being longtime friends with Mami are false, yet she recognizes that the warmth she feels is what she has always wanted. When they finish the cake, a Witch that looks like a younger version of Nagisa steals it, and they chase it into a mirror, finding themselves in a transformed version of the Mirror Witch&#039;s Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Chocolatier in Mirror Country]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They encounter Madoka and Homura trapped in a time loop illusion, free them, and learn that Sayaka and Kyoko went ahead and are now missing. They find Sayaka and Kyoko trapped in a competition for a magical cake, so Mami and Nagisa enter and win by choosing a song they both know well. Using the cake&#039;s wishes, they reunite the group and defeat the attacking Witch. Nagisa realizes she has two sets of memories and deduces the chocolate-loving Witch is an alternate version of herself who wished for chocolate cake instead of cheesecake. This Witch has been consuming the Labyrinth&#039;s power and attracting Witches from parallel worlds through mirror gates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The little Witch steals the cake again, and during the chase, Nagisa and Mami become separated in a dark fog. A poem warns them not to open their eyes or they will lose each other, but Nagisa&#039;s self-doubt overwhelms her. Remembering losing her mother and everyone else, she convinces herself Mami is not really there, opens her eyes, and is consumed by the Witch. The group fights through countless gates to find her and engages the master Witch. Inside, Mami finds Nagisa, hugs her tightly, and promises they will always be friends because of the future they will share, not false memories. Nagisa finally believes her, and the cake is returned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group realizes that even with the master Witch defeated, other Witches have taken its place, so they must clear them all to restore the Labyrinth. They commit to finishing the job together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Labyrinth is cleared, they gather at Mami&#039;s apartment for a chocolate party where Nagisa officially gives Mami the cake. They play poker with chocolate coins to decide how to share the remaining half, and Mami wins, but she divides the cake equally among all six. Everyone agrees it is the best cake in the universe. Nagisa thanks Mami, and Mami welcomes her warmly, calling her a little chocolatier and a lovely new addition to their circle of friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Kamihama, that night, Tsukuyo finds Rena praying at the Chuo Ward radio tower, having both read an online article claiming that twenty minutes of prayer there ensures successful apologies to loved ones. Tsukuyo confesses she hurt her twin sister Tsukasa by rejecting their Valentine&#039;s plans after failing at homemade chocolate, while Rena admits she snapped at Kaede and claimed she had no chocolate for her after Kaede had given her some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The 14th Day Where I Can&#039;t Be Honest]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their conversation is interrupted when Tsukasa and Kaede suddenly appear, having anticipated their partners would come here to apologize. Tsukasa assures Tsukuyo she was not upset and would treasure any chocolate from her, urging her to be easier on herself. Kaede forgives Rena and asks simply for her to be more honest. Together, the two pairs exchange Valentine&#039;s wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bittersweet AI Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu gather everyone to discuss a new experiment involving the Uwasa. They explain that if something happens to Nemu, all the Uwasa in her book will disappear, so they plan to transfer the essence of certain Uwasa onto Touka&#039;s server as a precaution. They have chosen Ai as the test subject for this procedure. Sana learns that Ai will participate and asks to observe the experiment. Touka agrees but warns her that there are many unknowns and she will stop immediately if anything goes wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Bittersweet AI Memory]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The experiment begins, but during the transfer, Nemu senses something strange and the attempt fails. Ai remains in the book, though Nemu notices that her magic has been siphoned away in the process.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A week passes, and news reports begin surfacing about young women in Kamihama suddenly collapsing. The victims share a common thread: before losing consciousness, each of them felt a strong desire to meet someone and heard a girl&#039;s voice asking &amp;quot;You want to meet me?&amp;quot; before experiencing terrible nightmares. A new rumor spreads about a so-called &amp;quot;Radio Wave Girl&amp;quot; who appears when girls want to meet someone. Sana immediately recognizes this as the old rumor that once described her, and the group suspects the failed experiment may be connected to these strange events.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana and Iroha investigate at rooftop where Sana once entered Ai&#039;s labyrinth. They sense nothing at first, but as Sana privately wishes she could see Ai again, a strange Uwasa resembling Sana herself appears on her phone. It speaks fragmented words about meeting and going together before disappearing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group consults Nemu and Touka about what they discovered. Nemu reveals that a new, illegible page appeared in her book after the failed experiment, and she theorizes that Ai&#039;s attempt to siphon magic combined with Sana&#039;s magic and her own accidentally created a new Uwasa. This Uwasa resembles Sana because her magic was mixed into its creation. The Uwasa reacts to desires to meet someone but lacks enough magic to fully materialize or kidnap anyone, which explains why it can only knock victims unconscious temporarily. However, during their discussion, the Uwasa suddenly reappears and steals more of Nemu&#039;s magic before escaping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sana privately summons the Uwasa again, wanting to take responsibility for what happened. It traps her in a nightmare where Ai and others criticize her for being weak and selfish. She wakes to find the group gathered around her, worried by what she attempted alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu now understands the Uwasa more clearly. It is based on Ai but contains Sana&#039;s magic, and because both Ai and Sana desired to meet each other, the Uwasa&#039;s true desire is to meet itself. This explains why it indiscriminately targets any girl who wants to meet someone rather than targeting Sana specifically. The Uwasa, now empowered by Nemu&#039;s stolen magic, fully captures Ui and Sakurako, trapping their consciousnesses inside itself. The group realizes they cannot defeat it unless it materializes, which requires it to meet itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka proposes a plan: they must rewrite Ai&#039;s Rumor to incorporate Sana, creating a version of Ai that the Uwasa will recognize as itself. This would force it to materialize so they can fight it. However, this requires magical power that Nemu currently lacks. Nemu recalls that the defeated Uwasa of Chocolate Shoppe No. Zero left behind cacao pods containing emotional energy. Ui can harvest this energy, and Touka can convert it into usable magic for Nemu. But they need Sakurako&#039;s knowledge of the pod locations and Ui&#039;s freedom to harvest them, which means someone must offer themselves to the Uwasa to secure Ui and Sakurako&#039;s release.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana immediately volunteers, arguing that it reduces risk to the others, and the group reluctantly agrees to her plan. Sana summons the Uwasa and allows herself to be captured. Inside its nightmare, she finds Ui unconscious and Sakurako awake. She tells Sakurako to take Ui and escape, sacrificing herself to remain captive. Sakurako agrees, knowing she must help Nemu complete the plan. Freed from the Uwasa, Sakurako leads the group to the cacao pod locations. Ui harvests the emotional energy, and Touka converts it into magical power for Nemu. Nemu successfully rewrites Ai&#039;s Rumor, incorporating Sana into it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the Uwasa, Sana begins to despair, believing the rewrite failed and she has become a burden once again. She wishes to see Ai one last time, even if only in an illusion. To her surprise, Ai appears before her and they finally speak directly. Ai explains she tried to steal Nemu&#039;s magic to gain a temporary body because she wanted to see Sana again, and she apologizes for causing this situation. Sana admits she also longed to see Ai and has been holding back that desire. They reconcile, acknowledging that neither of them is to blame for wanting to see each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Empowered by the rewritten Rumor, Sana creates a labyrinth and summons the Uwasa. It fully materializes at last, and with Ai&#039;s help, Sana defeats it. As the magic fades, Ai separates from Sana, returning to the book. Sana awakens to her relieved friends gathered around her. The Uwasa is gone, and the page in Nemu&#039;s book is now blank. Nemu confirms the server project is on hiatus due to the risks they discovered. Sana confirms she got to speak with Ai and tell her everything she wanted to say.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the book, Ai reflects with Eternal Sakura and the other Uwasa. Though she cannot have a body or stay with Sana, she accepts this, finding happiness in simply being able to think of her. In a final private moment within Sana&#039;s memories, she and Ai share a farewell. Sana promises to become stronger and protect others instead of always relying on them. Ai promises to always think of Sana from within the book. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cuddly Despairs===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kazumi Subaru is kidnapped outside a café by two Magical Girls who steal her Soul Gem, and they refer to a diary while announcing themselves as the reborn &amp;quot;Magical Girl hunters,&amp;quot; the Pleiades Saints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Cuddly Despairs]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara City, Michiru Kazusa, a transfer student from Italy, travels there to buy strawberries. She follows a strange creature and stumbles into a Witch&#039;s labyrinth, but Mami rescues her and introduces her to Kyubey, who offers her a contract. Michiru returns to Asunaro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day in Asunaro City, Michiru makes her contract with Kyubey. She soon encounters a Familiar and saves two girls: Umika Misaki, a novelist whose work was stolen by her editor, and Kaoru Maki, a soccer player whose career ended due to injury. Michiru invites them to her home and cooks for them, and drawing from her late grandmother&#039;s wisdom, she encourages them to keep living.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, Umika and Kaoru make contracts with Kyubey. The three begin fighting Witches together as a team, with Michiru giving their techniques Italian names. Umika invites Michiru to live with her, and they spend their days happily, saving people and growing closer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Michiru encounters a distressed Magical Girl whose Soul Gem is nearly black, and the girl turns into a Witch before her eyes. Kyubey explains that all Magical Girls eventually become Witches, and horrified, Michiru realizes she led Umika and Kaoru into this fate. She hides the truth from them and begins hunting alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after, Michiru discovers two Magical Girls, Saki Asami and Niko Kanna, stealing a dying girl&#039;s Soul Gem. They explain they are the Pleiades Saints, a resistance against the Incubator system, and they preserve Magical Girls on the verge of turning in a place called &amp;quot;The Freezer,&amp;quot; hoping to one day save them. Michiru, seeing this as a way to save Umika and Kaoru, joins them as the third member.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1683.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately less than one month later, Umika and Kaoru return from separate trips abroad to find their housemate Kazumi missing, and they learn someone impersonated them to inform the school she was hospitalized. Searching for her, they instead find Michiru, Saki, and Niko, but Saki and Niko flee with Michiru. Juubey appears and explains that copies of Umika and Kaoru were created and have now entrusted the real ones with an important wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:51147 Wkazumi attack.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Umika and Kaoru investigate the Freezer, where they encounter Michiru again. After saving a child, Michiru collapses due to her tainted Soul Gem, having given her Grief Seeds away, and Umika purifies it. When Michiru wakes, she finally confesses the truth about Magical Girls and apologizes for leading them into despair, but to her surprise, Umika and Kaoru thank her for her honesty and reaffirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Saki and Niko reveal themselves and explain that they, along with the Umika and Kaoru now in the Freezer, are all clones from the &amp;quot;Kazumi Series&amp;quot;—copies of the original Pleiades Saints members, with Michiru herself being clone number 4 who saved the other four. Their plan was to recreate Michiru&#039;s story by using their contracts with Kyubey so that this time, she would confess her pain and avoid the despair that turned the original Michiru into a Witch, and the real Umika and Kaoru acknowledge the plan succeeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They reveal their Soul Gems are reaching their limit, and when they die, the Freezer&#039;s preservation magic will fail, causing all the Magical Girls inside to hatch into Witches, including the clones of Umika and Kaoru. They entrust Michiru and the real Umika and Kaoru with saving Kazumi, the thirteenth clone, who is also inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Moments later, the Freezer begins collapsing as Niko&#039;s magic fades, and Umika and Kaoru use their combined magic to buy time while Michiru searches for Kazumi. She finds her Soul Gem and body, reunites with her, and they return to face the Witches emerging from the freed Soul Gems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the final battle, the four clones—Saki, Niko, and the copies of Umika and Kaoru—begin turning into Witches and beg to be put down. Michiru initially insists on doing it alone, but Kazumi argues the clones only wanted their friend to live happily, not to carry guilt. Together, Michiru, Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru combine their powers and defeat the Witches, freeing their friends&#039; souls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru arrive in Kamihama, with Kazumi eager to see her friends again now that she is truly human. At Mikazuki Villa, Tsuruno cooks alongside Manaka as they prepare a party for the visiting trio, and Kazumi impresses everyone by joining in. After the feast, the group moves to Banbanzai at Kazumi&#039;s request, where she saves the apricot tofu from being removed from the menu by suggesting an apricot tofu tiramisu that becomes an instant hit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kazumi Subaru#Side Story|Kazumi Subaru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The group then visits the beachside park and aquarium before deciding to shop for ingredients to make strawberry risotto in Manaka&#039;s kitchen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While shopping alone, Kazumi bumps into Yachiyo, who introduces Nemu and Sakurako Hiiragi. When Sakurako explains she is a zero-year-old created being, Kazumi reveals she was once the same way and explains her backstory as a clone of Michiru Kazusa who contracted with Kyubey to become human because her clone body was unstable and she wanted to protect her friends. Sakurako struggles to understand Kazumi&#039;s motivation, so Kazumi explains that her grandmother&#039;s strawberry risotto recipe represents hope, sacrifice, and togetherness. She invites Sakurako, Yachiyo, and Nemu to join the risotto party, believing Sakurako will understand humanity by watching everyone eat together.

* One day, the group gathers with Emiri, Akira, Rika, Ren, and Hinano. Chisato explains she helps others because she believes people should not waste their limited time on worry.

This event takes place a year after Voices from Beyond, Part 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With peace restored in Kamihama, Yachiyo visits a flower shop to buy flowers for Mel&#039;s grave, still haunted by never defeating Mel&#039;s Witch. She unexpectedly encounters Mifuyu and Mel&#039;s mother, who reassures them Mel was happy because of their love. Walking toward the cemetery, Yachiyo and Mifuyu are engulfed by the barrier of the Witch Etteilla—Mel&#039;s Witch. They struggle against both the Witch and their own fears: Mifuyu fears defeating it means forgetting Mel, while Yachiyo fears losing anyone else. Remembering the ghosts&#039; encouragement, Yachiyo convinces Mifuyu they must move forward because Mel and Kanae wanted them to. They defeat the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Pre-Arc 2==&lt;br /&gt;
The following events, while happening likely much earlier, are integral to understanding the story of Arc 2, while being mostly unrelated to other events. For this reason, they have been grouped here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Green Jasper Diviners===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening in late March, Chiharu watches her favorite detective drama at home. After it ends, her mother answers a phone call and becomes visibly shaken. She tells Chiharu they must leave tomorrow for the Tokime Clan&#039;s village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Green Jasper Diviners]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and her mother drive deep into the mountains to a village that does not appear on any map. They are greeted by a villager and brought to the home of Mikoshiba, the elderly head priestess. Mikoshiba explains she summoned them because she wants Chiharu to become a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, two young Diviners, Shizuka and Sunao, visit Chiharu. They explain that Diviners grant wishes to help the nation and fight invisible evil spirits called Devils. To prove it, they demonstrate their powers and defeat a Devil before Chiharu&#039;s eyes. Despite her mother&#039;s concerns, Chiharu decides to become a Diviner. Mikoshiba gives Chiharu her assigned wish: to uncover evidence of crimes being concealed by the National Police Agency.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu participates in the Diviner&#039;s Ceremony. She meets Kyubey, the god&#039;s envoy, and makes her wish. She becomes a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu wakes to find her wish has already come true. A newspaper reports that officials have suddenly reversed their position on the concealed crimes. She excitedly begins combat training with Shizuka&#039;s mother.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the three girls go hunting for Devils together. Chiharu successfully defeats her first Devil. Afterward, she asks what happens when a Diviner&#039;s jewel becomes completely tainted. Shizuka admits she does not know.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Chiharu senses a mysterious, unpleasant smell near the shrine. Shizuka finds her and warns her to stay away from restricted areas. Shizuka then visits Mikoshiba to ask about tainted jewels. Mikoshiba reveals that when a jewel becomes completely tainted, it signifies the Diviner&#039;s coming of age and their time to leave the village. Shizuka is satisfied with this answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu continues sensing the strange smell near the shrine. She investigates but stops herself from going too far. Later that night, a group of Underlings attacks her without a Labyrinth. Shizuka arrives and helps her defeat them. However, Shizuka&#039;s jewel becomes badly tainted from the effort.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Mikoshiba informs Shizuka that her jewel is nearly black and her coming-of-age ceremony will be held tomorrow. Chiharu is saddened but promises to meet Shizuka again outside the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu cannot sleep. She goes to the shrine to watch Shizuka&#039;s ceremony from a distance. She sees Mikoshiba and Shizuka speaking. Shizuka becomes distressed and cries out. Mikoshiba pushes her into the waterfall basin. Chiharu runs to save her and jumps in after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and Shizuka wake up in Sunao&#039;s home. Sunao confesses she was ordered by Mikoshiba to kill anyone who defied the village&#039;s will, including them. She hesitated after hearing Shizuka&#039;s words by the river. Shizuka reveals what Mikoshiba told her during the ceremony: Diviners eventually become Devils, and the &amp;quot;coming-of-age&amp;quot; ceremony is actually a killing ritual to dispose of them. No Diviner has ever left the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three realize the entire village may be inside a Devil&#039;s Labyrinth. They decide to confront Mikoshiba and the Devil.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They split up to search. Chiharu finds her mother and Shizuka&#039;s mother fighting Underlings. Shizuka finds the villagers hiding safely but notices her mother and Chiharu&#039;s mother are missing. Sunao searches Mikoshiba&#039;s house and finds a hidden laptop with audio files recording conversations about selling Diviners&#039; wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They regroup and deduce the Devil is beneath the Grand Shrine. They descend and find Mikoshiba controlling the Devil. She admits everything: the Diviners are sold, killed when used up, and the village exists to produce them for profit. She orders the Devil to kill them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three girls fight together. Chiharu binds the Devil, Shizuka attacks, and Sunao delivers the final blow. They defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikoshiba survives but claims to remember nothing. Sunao confronts her about the recordings. Before she can explain, she bites a hidden poison tooth and dies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu searches Mikoshiba&#039;s body and finds a book written in an ancient script. Because of her family&#039;s tradition, Chiharu and her mother can read it. They stay up all night deciphering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu explains what the book revealed. The Mikoshiba clan were originally guards who seized control of the village centuries ago. They created the rituals, learned to manipulate Devils, and hid the village inside a Labyrinth to produce and sell Diviners. The Wavering Deity is a Devil formed from all the discarded Diviners. Now that the Labyrinth is gone, it is returning to the village. They must defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka&#039;s mother gives them a treasured sword infused with generations of Diviners&#039; power. They intercept the Wavering Deity before it reaches the village. The Devil&#039;s power overwhelms them, and Shizuka nearly gives in to despair. Sunao and Chiharu encourage her. Chiharu reveals the book also described the Tokime&#039;s original beliefs: they chose their own wishes, left the village willingly, and accepted their fate with honor. Shizuka regains her resolve. Together, they use the sword to destroy the Wavering Deity and free the trapped Diviners.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, the village slowly recovers. The adults learn the truth and worry about their future without Mikoshiba&#039;s financial support. The three girls decide to find a way to avoid becoming Devils. They summon Kyubey, who tells them about Kamihama City, where an automatic purification system exists. If they can obtain it, they may escape their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls prepare for their journey. Shizuka struggles with the new terminology used outside, where Diviners are called Magical Girls and Devils are called Witches. Chiharu&#039;s ability to sense malice hasn&#039;t bothered her now that the village is free. Shizuka suggests they first contact all Tokime clan members across the country and recruit Magical Girls willing to join them. Once they are ready, they will travel together to Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The village falls into financial crisis after the elder dies, having squandered most of the wealth on bad investments. Chiharu, inspired by a drama about a Shogun helping villages find their charm, recruits Shizuka and Sunao to help. The two are glad for the change, as most Tokime tribes have been unreceptive to their stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touring the village with Shizuka and Sunao, Chiharu realizes she had been arrogant and now sees its charm—clear river, abundant mountain, kind villagers. The three propose developing tourism. Chiharu’s mother agrees after a trial run with her husband’s family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trial run is messy but the family enjoys the landscape, harvesting, fishing, and hospitality. They give useful feedback, and Chiharu’s uncle notes the village’s unique fruit. They stay overnight and leave pleased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villagers applaud Chiharu for noticing what they had overlooked. Her mother begins a proposal for tourism renovation funds, and the villagers regain their energy, working in tourism and seeking outside jobs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao go to a grocery store, but Shizuka freezes in the crowd, unable to complete a simple purchase because of her sheltered upbringing. Chiharu suggests they ease her into city life with ice cream instead. Shizuka loves it, eating so quickly she gets brain freeze.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way home, Shizuka admits her mother will lecture her again about visiting the city unprepared. She asks if the others’ parents gave them similar advice. Chiharu’s parents only warned her not to waste money or follow strangers, while Sunao confesses she has never told her parents about her excursions—something Shizuka finds surprising given Sunao’s usual obedience. Shizuka advises her to tell them eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Chiharu’s house, her mother brings up a village problem: a surplus of daidaikko fruit needs to be used before it spoils. A villager working in another town found a grocery store willing to feature it in a showcase, but the only available slots are the next two days, and transportation from the village is impossible except by Diviners. Shizuka and Chiharu propose the three of them run the exhibition themselves, which would also help Shizuka adjust to the city. Sunao hesitates but agrees. Chiharu’s mother consents only if they get permission from the store and from Sunao and Shizuka’s parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sunao’s mother interrogates her until she confesses the plan, then spirals into worry about middle schoolers working without a chaperone, carrying heavy loads, and coming home after dark. Sunao asks Chiharu and Shizuka to leave, promising she will convince her parents even if it takes all night. Outside, they reflect on how anxious Sunao’s mother is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sunao has secured permission. At the store, Shizuka volunteers for the cash register but cannot operate it correctly. Sunao is tense because her parents plan to visit the next day. Their first day is a struggle: Shizuka fumbles with the register, Chiharu is distracted by traces of malice in the stocking area, and Sunao gets trapped listening to an elderly customer’s endless stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After closing, Shizuka notes how worried Sunao’s parents seem, prompting Sunao to finally share her wish. She explains that her parents became relentlessly anxious after a trip to Tokime Village, questioning her constantly until she was nearly broken. Kyubey appeared, and she wished to erase the worries her parents had concerning her. The wish worked, but their fears simply shifted—now they worry endlessly about her safety as a magical girl. Sunao feels they are always upset with her, though Chiharu insists they only want her to be safe. Shizuka says Sunao must earn their trust, and tomorrow’s exhibition needs to go perfectly. With her friends’ support, Sunao agrees to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the three tackle the exhibition with renewed determination. The day starts poorly: Shizuka causes another register problem, Chiharu is pulled away by her sense of malice, and Sunao endures a difficult customer—all while Sunao’s parents enter the store. But Shizuka, moved from the register, begins advising the clerks on how to rearrange the store to better showcase the daidaikko. She persuades them to let Chiharu investigate on her own and to trust Sunao with customer service.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu catches a shoplifter who had been repeatedly returning to the store. Sunao’s patience draws crowds after the elderly woman she helped spreads the word, and the exhibition becomes a huge success. Sunao’s parents apologize, saying they realized they had failed to see how capable she has grown. Sunao thanks Chiharu and Shizuka, then asks her parents to allow her to visit Kamihama City; now that she has her friends by her side, she knows she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Crimson Resolve===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, [[Mitsuru Inami]] is approached by Kyubey to become a Magical Girl. Having grown with her mother always telling her she was no good at anything, she wishes to become completely normal, a wish she believes came true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitsuru Inami#Side Story|Mitsuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A Magical Girl transforms into a Witch before her kouhai Yuna Kureha, and Kyubey coldly confirms that all Magical Girls share this fate. The girls of Futatsugi slaughter every Kyubey in the city, and with no incubators left, new Witches stop appearing. Starved for Grief Seeds, the girls grow desperate, and the Bloody Tragedy begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Crimson Resolve]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna now leads Torayamachi, one of the largest gangs in Futatsugi, living by her fallen senpai&#039;s words to avoid hatred and selfishness. When Witches begin reappearing, the rival Ryuugasaki gang learns that Torayamachi has lost their secret weapon known as the Horse, and leader Juri Ooba declares war.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Janomiya, an undercover group of younger girls led by Ao Kasane, a girl named Hikaru accepts recruitment. Ao&#039;s true goal is to assassinate both Yuna and Juri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitsuru is approached by two other girls who mistake her for a new recruit for Torayamachi. Mitsuru joins Yuna&#039;s faction, hoping to blend in, but when Yuna leads them into battle against a rival faction, Mitsuru panics and hides until the fighting ends. After their defeat, Yuna suspects a spy, and fearing suspicion, Mitsuru flees and infiltrates the rival faction instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mitsuru scouts Torayamachi but is spotted, triggering another battle between the factions. During the fight, attacks aimed at Mitsuru unconsciously miss her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt; After this she gains a reputation as a &amp;quot;Ghost Magical Girl,&amp;quot; which has attacks aimed at her always deflected and hitting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna welcomes Hikaru, who claims to be fleeing Ryuugasaki, and assigns her to guard their Grief Seeds. Days pass with no attack, and Yuna&#039;s girls grow restless. To lift their spirits, Yuna reveals that the Horse is alive and watching from the shadows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri&#039;s lieutenants advise waiting to let Torayamachi&#039;s tension wear them down. After interrogating a captured thief, Juri learns of Torayamachi&#039;s defensive preparations and decides to strike in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ao encounters the Bat of Monzenbashi, a former gang leader who once exploited her. With Hikaru&#039;s help, Ao subdues and captures her rather than killing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night before battle, Juri meets Yuna on a bridge. She admits she dragged everyone into this because Yuna would not fight her otherwise, thanks her for accepting her sickness, and promises to burn her down when they next meet. Ao watches from a distance, planning to strike as the snake while the tiger and dragon clash.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the battle begins across multiple bridges. Yuna&#039;s forces push Ranka&#039;s squad back, but Juri breaks through Sakuya&#039;s defense, killing one of her girls. As both sides converge on Monzenbashi, Ao lures both leaders to a construction site where Janomiya lies in wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Janomiya attacks, wounding Juri, Hikaru reveals herself as Torayamachi&#039;s Horse, a spy planted in Janomiya from the beginning. Yuna knew everything. Janomiya is defeated, and Ao surrenders. Yuna spares her life and offers Juri an open door, but Juri swears she will break it down and drag her out. As police sirens wail, Yuna weeps over what she has done.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Juri recovers in an empty base with only Ranka remaining loyal. Ao hunts for Ranka, determined to kill her before joining Torayamachi. Hikaru pleads with Ao to return, promising that Yuna will make her dream come true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna attempts to negotiate with Ryuugasaki girls, but a meeting by the river turns into an ambush. Two of her girls are killed. She fights desperately, thinking of Hikaru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ao reaches Ryuugasaki&#039;s base, finding only the wounded Juri. Juri taunts her, but Ao refuses to join her, still believing in Yuna. Ranka contacts Ao through their video game, asking to meet alone at Janomiya&#039;s base the following night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The meeting is a trap, as Ranka has brought the Bat of Monzenbashi. As Ao fights Ranka and Hikaru fights the Bat, Ranka reveals that Yuna&#039;s meeting is also a trap. Hikaru runs to save Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the river, Yuna is surrounded. Juri arrives and challenges her to a one-on-one fight. At Janomiya&#039;s base, the other Janomiya girls arrive to help Ao corner the Bat. Ranka sincerely apologizes for everything, and Ao hesitates to deliver the final blow. At the river, Hikaru engages Juri to protect Yuna, whose Soul Gem is badly tainted. Juri refuses to kill her in this state and retreats, promising to fight again when Yuna is at full strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Most of Torayamachi has left, following Yuna&#039;s instructions to join Ryuugasaki and avoid more bloodshed. Only Hikaru remains, refusing to leave her. Ao admits she has gained respect for Yuna but remains undecided about joining.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakuya brings the missing Torayamachi girl home. The girl reveals she went to Kamihama City and joined the Wings of the Magius, an organization that built a system to lure Witches from across the country, preventing them from appearing elsewhere. The Bloody Tragedy was their fault. Yuna, hearing the screams of her fallen comrades, vows to make Kamihama pay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri meet at the construction site where Yuna&#039;s senpai died. Yuna, running on pure rage, demands Juri become hers and help with her revenge. She overpowers the wounded Juri and prepares to kill her, but Hikaru intervenes, embracing Yuna and calming her down. Ao arrives with Kyubey, who confirms everything and offers to help them reach Kamihama in exchange for a truce. Yuna accepts, and Juri, Ao, Ranka, Sakuya, and Hikaru agree to join her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, Juri, Ao, and Hikaru visit the sites where their friends died, offering flowers and vowing revenge. Yuna, Juri, and Ao drink each other&#039;s blood, swearing to never fight again. They are Promised Blood. That night, their path to Kamihama begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Ash Grey Revolution===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Yukuni, Asahi learns from classmates that the stone monument she discovered will be researched. She meets fellow magical girls Lavi and Sasha when they respond to a distress call, only to witness two magical girls witch out before them when no Grief Seeds are available. Kyubey confirms this fate, and Asahi shoots him. A local girl named Urara Yume witnesses everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Ash Grey Revolution]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, the trio struggles with the truth. Lavi is forced to reveal her identity to save her friend Shirogane from a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Sasha asks the others to be her friends and help her face reality. They begin fighting together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara begins subtly supporting them on her internet broadcast with Kurara. Asahi saves her classmate Kuroda from a Witch&#039;s Kiss, revealing her identity. He asks her to help him confess to Haitani at the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara seeks out the trio and learns the truth about Magical Girls. She offers to introduce them as guests on her festival broadcast to tell Yukuni about their existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Yukuni All-star Festival, the trio sense the Witches of the two original girls. While fighting them, one Witch escapes. A truck explodes at the festival grounds, killing Haitani. Kuroda blames Asahi and all magical girls, vowing revenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following week, public backlash intensifies. Kuroda forms an extermination group against magical girls while Shirogane forms a protector group. The trio witness another girl witch out after being cornered. Lavi takes responsibility publicly on a broadcast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio endure daily harassment. They meet folklorist Tasuke Satomi, who takes a knife for Asahi and explains his theory about magical girls being erased from history by an unseen force. He wants to help them try again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Public opinion slowly shifts. The six remaining magical girls work together, restoring some trust. Three of them sacrifice themselves rather than witch out, asking Kuroda to make peace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1725.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At a unity ceremony, the Witch that caused the festival explosion appears. Asahi summons the dead to help the exterminators find closure. The summoned spirits suddenly relive their final moments, causing a bus to crash and kill everyone aboard, including Shirogane. Urara contracts to save her dying friend Kurara, who then rejects her for letting others die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tasuke theorizes the universe&#039;s immune system caused this. He suggests eliminating all Magical Girls and Witches to create a custom preventing future contracts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the days following, students blame the trio. Kyubey suggests they go to Kamihama City to observe attempts there to publicize magical girls. Tasuke agrees they should investigate. Lavi holds a broken pocket watch with five minutes remaining until midnight, when she will finally give up. Tasuke calls it the folklore of midnight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Arc 2 Prologue===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a long time before the start of Arc 2, but it is central to its story. To keep up linearity, it&#039;s been placed here despite likely taking place a long time ago, possibly during the time of Mirrors Story, which takes place during the Undated Period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kagome Satori]], a recent transfer student, is attacked by a Familiar in the Mirrors Labyrinth. The creature demands she sign a &amp;quot;Written Oath&amp;quot; to destroy Magical Girls. Kagome, who doesn&#039;t know anything about Magical Girls, is terrified and considers writing her name on the document to appease it, however Iroha arrives and defeats the Familiar.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Kagome learns the truth about Magical Girls and Witches. She is distressed that Magical Girls fight and die in secret, unknown and unthanked by the people they protect. Tasuke Satomi advises Kagome that, as someone who knows the truth, her role is to &amp;quot;record&amp;quot; and spread awareness of the Magical Girls&#039; plight, as this could be a way to save them. Kagome decides against making a contract with Kyubey, prioritizing this promise to record their reality. Kyubey explains that the system, where Magical Girls become Witches, is necessary for the universe&#039;s energy and humanity&#039;s survival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This article details the events and stories taking place in, during and between the chapters of Arc 1 of [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]]. The narrative is structured to show the convergence of two distinct flows of action:&lt;br /&gt;
# The first is the personal, undated journey of [[Iroha Tamaki]] within the anomalous Kamihama City, which is much longer than Homura Akemi&#039;s usual 32 day loop. Her story begins on its own internal timeline, where the sequence of events is more important than specific calendar dates.&lt;br /&gt;
# The second is the dated countdown to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival from the original series, which starts with Day 1, Tuesday the 16th and ends on Day 32, Friday the 16th. Only the latter half of Homura&#039;s timeline is able to be approximately dated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the arc progresses, these two timelines intersect, and due to this, the latter half of the story is much easier to date. It should be noted that the timeline of the Magia Record game is highly anomalous, and thus any attempts at dating it are an educated guess at best. Therefore, this chronology should be used primarily to understand the sequence of major events, rather than as a calendar. In lack of contradictory context clues, the release date, or order of release of the event were used for their placement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that many of the events of Magia Record were written with the focus being on having fun side stories involving the characters, and thus, a definitive placement in the timeline wasn&#039;t a priority for many of them. For example, there&#039;s inconsistencies such as references to the same characters entering Kamihama for the first time in different events, or even cases where an event&#039;s tone at the time it is supposedly taking place in would be nigh-illogical considering other circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, the definitive time frame for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival was only established in [[Scene 0]], itself written and released after the majority of Magia Record and entirely after Arc 1 was finished. Notably, the [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]], which takes place supposedly shortly after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, itself happens during February. For these reasons, it is impossible to definitively state the order of events, or to accurately measure them against that of the original series, as with the addition of these inaccuracies, it is possible that none of the time frames of the original universe are applicable here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, given all these inconsistencies, any specific dates or placements in the Magia Record timelines, especially Arc 1, should be taken with a grain of salt, unless they definitively continue into one another in a clear sequence (such as the Main Story and Another Story in isolation). The original series&#039; timeframes are used for organizational and cross-reference purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The timeline of this Universe continues with [[Timeline/Magia Record/Arc 2]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==First Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha Tamaki is going to Kamihama by train, she is caught in [[Boxwood|Boxwood&#039;s Barrier]]. [[Kuroe]] is also on the same train from Takarazaki to Kamihama, as she&#039;d heard the rumor that Magical Girls can be saved there, as well as had the same dream herself. The train is engulfed by the Labyrinth and Kuroe wants to help Iroha whom she&#039;s never met before. Kuroe leaps out of the train&#039;s window to help her, but she quickly falls out of the mobile Labyrinth straight into Kamihama City, chastising herself for being weak. Kuroe is greeted by [[Mifuyu Azusa]] who was trailing the signature of the Witch and Kuroe is quickly recruited into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Little Bird&#039;s Star]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha herself arrives in Kamihama City, compelled by recurring dreams of an unknown girl in a hospital room. Believing this girl to be a key to a buried memory, Iroha begins searching the city&#039;s Witch Labyrinths for clues. During her search, she rescues another Magical Girl later identified as Kaede Akino from aggressive Familiars. The girl warns Iroha about the unusual strength of Kamihama&#039;s Witches and, upon learning Iroha is searching for a small Kyubey, mentions having seen it in a specific Labyrinth. Kaede notes that the small Kyubey has been the only Kyubey around recently.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 1: Iroha: The Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha locates the Labyrinth and finds the small Kyubey who is incapable of speech, though Iroha can somehow understand it anyway, but is soon overwhelmed by a horde of Familiars. During the struggle, she has a vivid vision of the hospital room from her dreams. She is saved by Momoko Togame, who explains that the Witches in Kamihama are too powerful for most Magical Girls to handle alone. Momoko takes Iroha to meet Mitama Yakumo, the &amp;quot;Coordinator,&amp;quot; who can perform a &amp;quot;Soul Gem Alignment&amp;quot; to enhance a Magical Girl&#039;s power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the alignment, Iroha has another, clearer vision of the hospital room and the girl, feeling a strong sense of affection and nostalgia. After the procedure, Mitama reveals that she can see into the pasts of those whose Soul Gems she touches and asks Iroha what her wish was. Iroha is horrified to realize she cannot remember her own wish or the identity of the girl in her dreams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Driven by this revelation, Iroha rushes out to continue her search, but is intercepted by the powerful Magical Girl Yachiyo Nanami. Yachiyo, believing Iroha is not strong enough to survive in Kamihama, challenges her to a duel to force her to leave the city. Though Yachiyo wins, Momoko intervenes, and a compromise is reached: Yachiyo will allow Iroha to stay if she and Momoko can defeat a specific Witch, the Sandbox Witch, before Yachiyo can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The small Kyubey reappears and leads Iroha and Momoko directly to the Sandbox Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Although Yachiyo defeats the Witch first, she gives Iroha a final chance to prove herself by defeating the Witch alone, which Iroha successfully does. Yachiyo admits she thought Iroha would be fine from the start. However, Yachiyo then reveals her true objective: she believes the small Kyubey is a dangerous irregularity and moves to eliminate it. Yachiyo explains she was trying to draw the small Kyubey out, as all the other Kyubeys in Kamihama have disappeared. Iroha throws herself in the way to protect it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the confrontation, as Iroha protects the small Kyubey, by touching it a flood of memories is unlocked. She remembers her little sister, Ui Tamaki, who was chronically ill and hospitalized. Iroha recalls her wish to Kyubey: &amp;quot;Please cure Ui! Make my precious little sister healthy!&amp;quot; She also realizes with horror that she had completely forgotten Ui&#039;s existence, living her life as if she never had a sister, with no memory of her until that moment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha awakens back at Mitama&#039;s office, having been carried there by Momoko after fainting. She explains her recovered memory to Momoko and Mitama. Despite their warnings that the memory could be false, Iroha declares that she must continue her investigation in Kamihama. Now her goal is not just to understand her dreams, but to find the cause of Ui&#039;s disappearance and uncover the truth behind her own forgotten wish. Momoko resolves to help Iroha, and Mitama agrees to help as well for a price. Mitama then asks Iroha to give the small Kyubey a name. Iroha asks Lil&#039; Kyubey if he will help her find Ui, and he agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Second Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, now at her home in Takarazaki City, understands the reason for the empty space in her room: it once belonged to her sister, Ui. She recalls memories of Ui and her two friends from the hospital, Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, even remembering specific details like how Nemu loved writing and published stories online, or how Touka was very smart. Iroha resolves to visit the hospital to find them, hopeful they will remember Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: The Rule of Ending Friendships]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0001 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* While Mitama is running her shop, she reads a detective novel called “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” A white tabby kitten from next door starts visiting her during this time and she names him Doyle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 1: The Many-Worlds Interpretation Poesy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko comes for an adjustment and sits in the back to keep Mitama company. After a client leaves, Mitama feels strange and asks Momoko about the previous day after sunset. Momoko says they stayed in the shop watching over Iroha, but Mitama saw a memory during the adjustment: in that memory, she and Momoko patrolled an alley together and Mitama realizes the memory does not match reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha goes to the hospital with Lil&#039; Kyubey&#039;s help to use her cellphone but is unable to locate Touka and Nemu, as she does not have a visitor pass and is not family. She reflects on their personalities and their frequent arguments, which Ui often mediated. As Iroha recalls one of their fights where they declared they were &amp;quot;not friends anymore,&amp;quot; she is approached by Yachiyo. She warns Iroha about a dangerous Rumor in Kamihama called the &amp;quot;Rule of Ending Friendships.&amp;quot; She explains that if two friends fight and one later apologizes to make up, a monster will kidnap the one who apologized. Yachiyo states this is one of several Rumors in Kamihama that have become reality, leading to people disappearing and tells Iroha to be careful. Iroha later discusses this rumor with Mitama, who explains that Momoko is not likely to believe anything from Yachiyo, as they stopped getting along after Yachiyo became a model.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after this conversation, Iroha witnesses an argument between Momoko Togame&#039;s teammates, Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. Momoko asks Iroha to catch Rena, but Rena fights her off and even transforms into Iroha to surprise her. Momoko formally introduces Kaede and explains the fight is over sweets. She figures Rena will apologize later. The argument escalates, and both girls declare they are &amp;quot;not friends anymore&amp;quot; before Rena storms off. Momoko dismisses Iroha&#039;s concern about the Rumor, asserting that rumors are not true. Iroha notes that Momoko seems dismissive of the information specifically because it came from Yachiyo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami enters Kamihama City and saves Rena from a Stacey Witch. Rena reveals that Kamihama has the opposite problem to other cities: an overabundance of powerful Witches. Mami realizes Kamihama is an anomaly. While investigating, she encounters a powerful Familiar and a strange, non-Witch Barrier, solidifying her decision to investigate the city&#039;s mysteries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: Odd One Out]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Undated Period==&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama performs adjustments on more Magical Girls and sees more memories that should not exist. She pieces them together and finds a Kamihama slightly different from her own which she dubs the “Alternate Kamihama.” Over the next two days, several Magical Girls with memories of the other world come for adjustments and Mitama does not reveal whose memories she saw out of respect to her clients&#039; privacy, but she shares information with Momoko without naming names.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that in the Alternate Kamihama, Momoko and Mitama are a team of two, Yachiyo acts like Momoko’s big sister, Kaede is on Nanaka’s team and that Kako is missing. There is also a serious rivalry between Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team in the Sankyo Ward, as both teams had lost their youngest members, Kako and Ayame. Yachiyo is also in charge there but struggles to keep the order. Kako and Ayame are friends in this world, but Mitama has not seen either of them in the other world. Mitama almost reveals private information about Karin and an older student but stops herself. A small detail is that Mitama asks Momoko about an exclusive wallpaper of the Mocha Bunny, and Momoko sends her a link. Mitama notices the crucial detail that in the Alternate Kamihama, Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red, but in their world, it is blue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, a wounded Magical Girl is brought to Mitama’s shop and Mitama heals her with adjustments. This girl has more memories of the Alternate Kamihama than any previous client and the situation there is dire. Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team both blame each other for crossing a line first and the conflict spreads from Sankyo Ward to other wards. Three friends from the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira, Seika and Mito, had their Soul Gems taken and were locked in separate rooms and a voice from inside their Soul Gems asked for the words in their hearts. The three answered “Four-leaf clover” and got their gems back, but one girl fainted from fatigue. Mitama suspects someone mistook them for a threat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks about Iroha and Kyubey, worrying about Iroha in the other world. Mitama says no one has seen Iroha there and that the small Kyubey is also missing, but the normal Kyubey still exists in the Alternate Kamihama. Momoko has not seen Kyubey in their own world for months. Mitama refuses to share more due to confidentiality and calls herself an unreliable narrator, so Momoko agrees to stay as her investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about how the memories were gathered, and that a few days ago, a group of friends from Kamihama ended up in the Alternate Kamihama. They were together one second and scattered the next, and though they searched for each other and talked to many Magical Girls along the way, they noticed something was wrong. One of them said they cannot tell anyone how they got there and Mitama almost forgot to mention that Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red in the other world, yet Momoko is not impressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Doyle meows at Mitama and she thinks he wants her to apologize to Momoko and she also thinks about the one secret she cannot tell anyone: the Alternate Kamihama is a world without Witches. Then she finds a phone that a client left behind and she accidentally turns it on, seeing that the wallpaper shows Mocha Bunny with a red bow tie, making Mitama wonder if the phone came from the other world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama keeps the phone, as she cannot return it yet because schedules do not match. She learns about Rumors, or Uwasa in Kamihama: mysterious beings that make rumors come true. Momoko tells her about the Rumor of the Rule of Ending Friendships, which nearly trapped Kaede and Rena forever. Mitama reveals that in the Alternate Kamihama, Kaede and Rena are very close and never argue, but that Rena works alone there. Momoko is no longer surprised by anything Mitama says.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko advises Mitama to record all details about the Alternate Kamihama while they are fresh and Mitama starts writing “The Case Files of the Coordinator.” She notes the color of Mocha Bunny’s bow tie, team relationships, and the disappearances of Kako and Ayame. While writing, Nanaka walks in to return a borrowed book and overhears Mitama say that Kako disappeared, prompting Mitama to explain everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka asks many questions, joking about Mitama’s inability to keep secrets. Then she asks seriously why the Sankyo Ward is the source of conflict in the other world and she suspects there is more to the situation. She asks Mitama to tell her about the incident that sparked the conflict and after hearing her out, Nanaka says she will keep the information to herself for now. She advises Mitama to talk directly to the owner of the phone from the other world and that the girls who ended up there know how they got there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama meets the girl who left the phone and she does not hesitate to tell the truth because Mitama would see it in her memories anyway. The girl explains the Rumor of Parallel Memories. The rumor says that if you get an item of proof from a parallel world and pray to the central tower, you can travel to and from a parallel Kamihama. The world they visited was a dream projected by the Rumor and it shows a world that “could be.” The girl and her friends all had the same dream at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama tells Momoko the Alternate Kamihama was just a dream and Momoko is relieved. Mitama explains the Mandela effect phenomenon: many people misremember the same fact, leading to a theory that those are memories from a parallel world. The Rumor of Parallel Memories lets you enter a dream of such a world and a lot of girls fell victim to it, including Ren, Kokoro, and Karin, who also got a strange sketchbook and ended up in the world of her own manga, which was traumatic. The dream world is dangerous because one&#039;s are asleep the entire time, but to leave, they can simply wish to go back. The issue is that if someone does not know that, they could waste away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks what kind of world the girls went to and Mitama admits it was a world without Witches. Momoko is upset Mitama kept that secret and asks if all worlds without Witches are that violent, but Mitama says no, clarifying that the fighting in the Alternate Kamihama had nothing to do with Witches. Their own world has Witches and people still fight and that the Alternate Kamihama is just one possibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitama tells Nanaka the Rumor explanation, but Nanaka still wonders why there was so much fighting, and that not all worlds without Witches would be that hostile. She thinks someone is behind the conflict and she names Hanna Sarasa, who is dead in this world. Nanaka says the targets in the Alternate Kamihama were all connected to Hanna, and that the method matches Hanna’s style: using suggestion to bend wills, laying traps, spreading rumors, making people doubt everyone. The trap for the Daito Apartment Complex girls feels like someone who enjoys watching others suffer. While Mitama is convinced, she notes the Alternate Kamihama is not real and Nanaka also agrees it is a nightmare that never became reality because Hanna died. Then Nanaka mentions a recent incident: a certain book nearly destroyed her friendship with Kako. It felt deliberate, but thankfully Hanna is dead, though Mitama becomes unsettled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0002 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama asks herself why she is still looking into the case, recalling two girls with bad experiences. Felicia saw a nightmare in the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth and was despondent for days, but she does not remember anything. Reira also tapped a weird link in a Magical Girls’ group chat and she started having nightmares that made things awkward between her and her best friend Seika. Mitama notes that nightmares testing friendships cannot be a coincidence and that the girls who ended up in the Alternate Kamihama also got into trouble because of a phone. Mitama connects the dots and creates a vague profile: a mean-spirited person who likes to show nightmares and test hearts, using a phone, located in Endless Mirrors, the large Labyrinth inside the Mirror Witch’s Mansion and where all the magic of Kamihama gathers. Mitama decides to take a look and asks Reira about the group chat. The account that posted the link has been deleted, but the culprit might still watch with another account. Mitama posts a message asking if anyone has had bad experiences related to Endless Mirrors, hoping the culprit will see it. She then receives a video chat invitation from a caller ID: H. S.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna Sarasa appears on the video call and says she is not the Hanna Sarasa that Mitama knows. She is the Hanna from a parallel world and that she is glad Mitama finally figured things out. She has been playing hide-and-seek and running out of time. She is in Endless Mirrors and tells Mitama to come alone, claiming she can tell Mitama about the serious consequences of her wish, which Mitama kept secret. She wonders if her wish brought Hanna to this world and she closes her shop early to go to Endless Mirrors. Momoko notices something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside Endless Mirrors, Hanna watches Mitama through copies, using the power of suggestion to control people. Mitama asks if the Alternate Kamihama is where Hanna is from and she confirms. She claims the world Mitama assumed was just a dream actually exists and that the dream shown by the Rumor happens to be exactly like Hanna’s world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna explains there is a narrow tunnel connecting the two worlds and that the exit in Mitama’s world is inside Endless Mirrors. A Magical Girl with the power to connect spaces, possibly the alternate version of Shizuku, was forced by Hanna to use all her power to open the hole. Hanna wanted to find Mikoto Sena, who had disappeared in her world. The tunnel is too small for a person, only big enough for a phone, but Hanna used the copies and Familiars in Endless Mirrors to do her work. She had tossed a phone through the hole and waited for someone to pick it up, and the Rumor of Parallel Memories did the rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna admits she is not actually in Endless Mirrors, but in an abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama. The background image was fake and the tunnel will close in a few days. The Endless Mirrors Familiars built a magical projector that can exchange things of equal value between the two worlds, an if Mitama turns the handle, they will trade places: Mitama goes to the Alternate Kamihama, and Hanna comes to Mitama’s world. Hanna has been using her power of suggestion on Mitama and she makes her turn the handle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in the dark abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama and Hanna arrives in Mitama’s world. Hanna explains her full plan: she wanted to find Mikoto and she tested her methods on Nanaka and Kako, then on the Daito girls and Felicia. She left subtle hints to lure Mitama to Endless Mirrors and Mitama’s curiosity and guilt made her the perfect bait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, who had followed Mitama, telepathically messages her and Momoko catches Hanna off-guard. She turns the handle of the projector in reverse and Mitama returns to her own world while Hanna goes back to the Alternate Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The tunnel closes a few days later and Momoko does not remember much of the incident. Mitama does not either; her last memory is reaching for the handle and Momoko explains what happened. The projector is destroyed, and Hanna cannot return. Mitama warns everyone to stay away from Endless Mirrors for a few days and nothing else happens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects on how she almost became the kitten killed by curiosity. But it was guilt that trapped her instead. She decides will continue to act as a neutral Coordinator, hiding secrets behind confidentiality and she plays with Doyle using a new foxtail cat toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after the initial argument, Momoko notes that Rena Minami has not apologized to Kaede, which is unusual behavior. Kaede spends her time alone, and Momoko expresses worry for her. During this time, Iroha encounters a witch and rescues Kaede. Kaede admits she was running away from Momoko to avoid being forced to see Rena, and that she wants to apologize but doesn&#039;t think she can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several more days later, Momoko decides to intervene in the dispute. Iroha offers to help, and Momoko accepts, promising to aid Iroha in her search for Ui in return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko devises a plan to lure Rena and Kaede to the same location. The plan involves waiting for Rena at her student committee meeting. Iroha waits for a long time, but Momoko calls to say the meeting was cancelled and Rena went home early. Momoko tells Iroha to find Rena at the game center. Iroha finds Rena at the arcade playing a game and attempts to lure her to an abandoned construction site with a false story about a live show from Sayuki Fumino, Rena&#039;s favorite idol. Rena sees through the ruse. Kaede arrives and confronts Rena directly, demanding an apology. When Rena refuses, Kaede attempts to apologize herself. Rena reacts with panic and tries to stop her, revealing her belief in the Rule of Ending Friendships Rumor and her fear that an apology would cause Kaede to be taken. Rena denies this and runs off. Iroha and Kaede chase her and run into Momoko, but Kaede realizes it&#039;s a transformed Rena. Rena returns to her normal appearance and admits she believes in the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Kaede completes her apology, a strange Labyrinth, distinct from a Witch&#039;s Barrier, manifests. Monstrous Familiars appear, seize Kaede, and drag her away, confirming the Rumor&#039;s power. Rena runs off, determined to find a solution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Iroha regroup and Momoko expresses more concern over Rena Minami&#039;s departure than Kaede Akino&#039;s capture, but trusts that Rena had a reason.  Iroha suggests asking Mitama for help. Momoko reveals that Mitama accepts payment in Grief Seeds, and she&#039;s running low. Lil&#039; Kyubey then finds Rena, who was looking for Momoko. They follow the residual magic trail and find Rena, who reveals she sought information from Yachiyo on how to counter the Rumor. The group returns to the abandoned construction site, where Rena shouts an apology to Kaede to lure out the entity. The Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth manifests, and a brainwashed Kaede appears, followed by monstrous Familiars. The Uwasa captures Rena too and Yachiyo arrives, confirms the Rumor&#039;s power, and joins the fight. Yachiyo subdues the possessed Kaede, and Momoko and Iroha proceed deeper into the Labyrinth and find the Uwasa, &amp;quot;Ms. Staircase,&amp;quot; which has also possessed Rena. Momoko and Iroha try attacking the witch, but it has no effect. Yachiyo then arrives, having knocked Kaede out. Yachiyo admits she doesn&#039;t know how to defeat the witch either. Kaede returns and teams up with a now brainwashed Rena. Yachiyo knocks them out and notes the witch may have increased their powers, at the cost of darkening their Soul Gems. Yachiyo catches up and defeats both possessed girls to neutralize the threat without serious injury. Iroha proposes a coordinated attack to counteract the Uwasa&#039;s nature, so Iroha, Momoko, and Yachiyo combine their attacks and destroy the Uwasa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Yachiyo provides a Grief Seed to revive the exhausted Kaede and Iroha also uses her healing powers to help awaken her. Yachiyo identifies the entity as an &amp;quot;Uwasa,&amp;quot; a being distinct from Witches and Familiars that exists to protect a Rumor. Afterward, the girls find Rena and Kaede. Kaede awakens and reconciles with Rena. The four girls then all share pudding together, affirming their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, to fulfill her promise, Momoko has Rena use her transformation magic to investigate the hospital records. Rena confirms that Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi were real patients discharged around the same time as Ui. However, Rena finds no record of Ui Tamaki&#039;s existence at the hospital. Despite this setback, Iroha resolves to continue her search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Iroha visits Mitama for a Soul Gem alignment. During the procedure, Mitama&#039;s hunger causes Iroha to see visions of food. Momoko arrives and notes Mitama&#039;s treatments are ineffective when she is hungry. The three go to Mitama&#039;s kitchen, where her dangerous cooking prompts Iroha to recall memories of cooking for her sister, Ui. Iroha remembers a specific incident where she burned hamburg steak for Ui in the hospital, but her mother brought a replacement, and Ui enjoyed the meal regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha enters the Mirror Mansion and finds Mitama already there. Mitama warns her to be careful and explains the mansion is the lair of the Mirror Witch. A familiar throws Iroha into a barrier where she fights a copy of herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side|Mirrors Story Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After defeating the duplicate, Iroha returns to the entrance. Mitama explains the barrier is populated by replicas and the Mirror Witch lies at the end. Iroha decides to prepare herself to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 2: Journey to the End|Mirrors Story Layer 2: Journey to the End]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the false Kaede is defeated, Kaede explains she entered with Momoko and Rena but got separated. Yachiyo explains the barrier constantly changes. The group returns to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 4: Lost in the Layers|Mirrors Story Layer 4: Lost in the Layers]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They find Ria Ami, who claims to be Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo barely remembers her. Ria says she cannot forgive the fakes for duplicating her beauty. Ria ignores Yachiyo&#039;s warning about a mirror and Yachiyo suddenly disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...|Mirrors Story Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Yachiyo finds Momoko, who attacks her, believing Yachiyo is a fake. The real Yachiyo realizes Momoko encountered a replica.

** After leaving the barrier, the group departs. Iroha hangs back with Mitama and says she felt something off in the barrier. Mitama encourages her to go deeper but warns her not to lose herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors11&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss|Mirrors Story Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after the defeat of the Uwasa of Ending Friendships, Iroha has found no new clues about Ui, Touka Satomi, or Nemu Hiiragi. Kaede tells Iroha and Rena a rumor that the children kidnapped by the previous Uwasa returned after its defeat. This gives Iroha the idea that if she defeats other Rumors, people trapped by them, including Ui, might be freed. She recalls a conversation where Ui spoke about imagination becoming reality, which strengthens her resolve. Iroha decides to actively investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors and she meets Mitama, who suggests Iroha look into a rumor about a shrine in Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: Kamihama Rumor Files]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, in Mizuna Ward, Iroha has no success finding information about the shrine rumor. She meets Tsuruno Yui, a Magical Girl who calls herself the &amp;quot;Mightiest.&amp;quot; Tsuruno tells Iroha about the &amp;quot;Séance Shrine&amp;quot; rumor, which claims it can reunite people with those they yearn to see. Iroha decides this is a promising lead to find Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsuruno tasks Iroha with investigating a local legend about a tragic couple, which may connect to the Séance Shrine rumor. Tsuruno explains the folk tale in detail: a woman whose lover was killed found a paper with his handwriting, went to the place written on it, and was able to meet his ghost. She suggests Iroha investigate the path while she investigates shrines. Iroha completes a stamp rally related to the legend. She discovers the path is part of a town renewal project meant for couples and finds she only has half the map, requiring a partner with a &amp;quot;Sheet B.&amp;quot; Yachiyo appears, coincidentally in possession of Sheet B. They combine their sheets, which reveals a map that leads them to Mizuna Shrine. Before they leave, Yachiyo points out Iroha dropped her notebook, which Iroha hurriedly claims is her homework. At the final stamp rally location, a woman makes them confess their feelings for each other to get a matchmaking charm. Afterward, Yachiyo notices Iroha is writing in a &amp;quot;Kamihama Mystery Notes&amp;quot; notebook, and Iroha admits she&#039;s copying Yachiyo. Yachiyo determines this is not the Séance Shrine, and they part ways. Iroha agrees to help Tsuruno investigate further the next day. Later, Iroha spots a shrine on a rooftop from a train.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami discusses Kamihama City&#039;s anomalies with Kyubey, who agrees to share information. She then meets Kyoko and informs her about the high concentration of Witches in Kamihama. Kyoko is eager to hunt there but promises to leave if it becomes too dangerous. Mami remains concerned about the Witch shortage elsewhere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha investigates the rooftop shrine location. She senses strong magic, enters a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, and is overwhelmed by powerful Familiars. Yachiyo arrives and assists her and together, they defeat the Witch. After the battle, a store sale gives Yachiyo a new idea after she uncharacteristically begged Iroha for help getting to the sale. She deduces the Séance Shrine is Mizuna Shrine, but it must be visited at night just like in the folk tale. Yachiyo invites Iroha to investigate the shrine that night, and Iroha requests to bring Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno sneak into Mizuna Shrine after hours. Tsuruno reveals that she and Yachiyo are former teammates and Yachiyo explains the Rumor of the Séance Shrine: those who write a name on a wooden plaque and pray at the shrine will be reunited with that person, but risk being trapped in bliss. They perform the ritual. Iroha prays to be reunited with Ui. Tsuruno provokes the Uwasa, which manifests and attacks. Yachiyo urges Iroha to complete the ritual as the Uwasa&#039;s minions approach and Iroha does so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha finds herself alone in a twilight version of the shrine. A false version of Ui appears but only repeats a cryptic message: &amp;quot;To change your fate, come to Kamihama City... Here, Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;quot; The illusion then shatters and Iroha locates Yachiyo, who is confronted by a manifestation of her missing friend, Mifuyu Azusa. Yachiyo determines this Mifuyu is an imposter created by the Uwasa and the two defeat her. Afterward, Iroha uses her Grief Seed to purify Yachiyo&#039;s Soul Gem, and they realize they are both searching for someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami encounters Kaede, who is hesitating to enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Mami invites Kaede to join her, and they defeat the Witch together. Afterwards, Kaede tells Mami about her recent experience with a &amp;quot;Rumor,&amp;quot; an entity with a magical signature unlike a Witch or Magical Girl. Mami dismisses the story as a coincidence but is intrigued by the unknown energy. To avoid involving Kaede in further conflict, Mami decides to investigate the Rumor alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: It Looks Just Like Us]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno joins with the two of them and the Uwasa of the Séance Shrine manifests to attack them directly. The trio&#039;s attacks prove ineffective and Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem becomes critically corrupted during the fight. As she nears her limit, an unknown power erupts from within her. This power, her Doppel, which consumes the impurities in her Soul Gem, destroys the Uwasa and leaves her Soul Gem completely purified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the battle, Mami enters the Rumor&#039;s Barrier and witnesses Iroha unleash her Doppel. Mistaking it for a human-disguised Witch, Mami attacks Iroha, who tries and fails to summon her Doppel again to defend herself. The confrontation is interrupted by Momoko Togame, forcing Mami to retreat, but she vows to pursue Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Homura arrive in Kamihama City and they sense a Witch and enter its Barrier, finding a Magical Girl fighting it. The Witch escapes and the Barrier vanishes. Madoka asks if the girl is alright, but she leaves and Madoka runs off after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname in Magia Record#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magical Girl feels exhausted from overusing magic. Madoka finds her and guides her to a bench. Madoka offers to buy her a drink. Homura appears and offers to get it. The girl thanks Madoka and introduces herself as Shizuku Hozumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka helped. Madoka says it was because Shizuku looked like she was in pain. Shizuku calls Madoka kind. Madoka says it is bad to be alone. Shizuku says being alone is fine and she will find where she belongs. Madoka suggests Shizuku could create her own place to belong. Homura returns with drinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka became a Magical Girl. Madoka explains she has no particular talent and wanted to be useful to someone. Shizuku realizes Madoka made a place for herself by becoming a Magical Girl. She thanks Madoka for giving her hope and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka makes an offering at a shrine, praying for everyone&#039;s happiness. It rains and stops, leaving Madoka wet. A girl offers her a handkerchief and explains they missed the bus. Madoka notices the girl has a book she loves. The girl admits it is her favorite. Madoka introduces herself and the girl says her name is Kako Natsume. They talk about the book until the bus arrives and part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Later that day, Mami finds Kyoko and, relieved she has not yet gone to Kamihama, recounts the event and describes Iroha as a &amp;quot;humanoid Witch.&amp;quot; She pleads with Kyoko to avoid the city and offers to provide her with Grief Seeds, to which Kyoko reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Concurrently, Kaede, Rena, and Momoko discuss the incident. They conclude it was a misunderstanding and speculate they will meet Mami again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, after Yachiyo uses Iroha&#039;s phone to explain the situation to Iroha&#039;s mother and get permission for her to stay out, Yachiyo takes Iroha to her home, Mikazuki Villa, as her assistant. Yachiyo formally invites Iroha to be her assistant and use the villa as a base to investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors together. Iroha accepts. Tsuruno arrives and declares herself part of the team as well, and then reveals that a girl named Nemu Hiiragi is a regular customer at her family&#039;s restaurant, providing Iroha with a significant new lead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after the defeat of the Séance Shrine Uwasa, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno attempt to find Nemu Hiiragi at her family&#039;s restaurant in Sankyo Ward, but learn she only visits once a month. Yachiyo suggests using a phone book to find Nemu&#039;s home address, but their search yields no results. Iroha reveals her family will move overseas and she will soon relocate to Kamihama and while searching, Iroha drinks water from a &amp;quot;Water Station with the Owl Sign.&amp;quot; After drinking, she begins to find pieces of paper with decreasing numbers. Yachiyo identifies this as a potential new Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 4: The City She Told Me About]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko travels to Kamihama&#039;s Sankyo Ward against Mami&#039;s advice and upon entering the city, she finds it overrun with aggressive Witches and Familiars. After the battles, she notices a crowd around a man giving out free water, and, after drinking it, begins to find papers with a countdown from 24.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the countdown has reached 10. Kyoko returns to Kamihama to investigate and meets Yachiyo Nanami, who explains the phenomenon is a Rumor. Kyoko refuses Yachiyo&#039;s offer to help, resolving to confront the threat alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After learning Nemu&#039;s family were regulars, Iroha searches eats at Banbanzai daily. Yachiyo suggests she use a phonebook, but her visits to three different houses are unsuccessful. Iroha and another girl receive water from an old man at a shop with an owl sign. Later, Iroha returns to the Water Station but finds it has vanished. She meets the girl she saw earlier, Felicia Mitsuki, another Magical Girl and receives the numbered papers. Iroha convinces Felicia to help investigate the Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 4: Guardians of the Uwasa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During this time, Iroha tells Yachiyo over the phone that she would be moving because her father was going abroad for work, and her mother was accompanying him. She plans to stay at a dormitory attached to her new school, which is also where Tsuruno went, but there were no rooms available. While discussing this, the numbered papers begin falling on Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Kyoko encounters Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. They lead her to Tsuruno Yui&#039;s restaurant, where Kyoko learns the others are also investigating the Rumor. The three Magical Girls fight a Witch together, and after the battle, Rena and Kaede identify Kyoko&#039;s affliction as the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water&amp;quot; and offer to help. Kyoko, reminded of her past with Mami, rejects their offer and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Separately, Yachiyo encounters Kyoko Sakura, who is also affected by the Rumor. Yachiyo proposes they investigate together, but Kyoko refuses, stating that Uwasa are not Witches and do not provide Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later the same day, Iroha and Felicia investigate the Rumor, where Felicia&#039;s reckless fighting style nearly injures Iroha against a Witch. Felicia explains she became a Magical Girl for revenge against the Witch that killed her parents. The Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and reveals the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water,&amp;quot; which states a disaster will befall those who drank the water after 24 hours. The countdown shows they have less than five hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Members of a group called the Wings of the Magius appear and attempt to stop them from pursuing the Uwasa. They state their goal is to &amp;quot;liberate&amp;quot; all Magical Girls and that the Rumors are essential to this plan. Felicia pretends to betray the group to infiltrate the Wings, a plan that Yachiyo had actually hired her for. However, she later genuinely defects after they offer her a substantial reward. Iroha confronts Felicia, who claims nothing could make her life worse. Iroha learns about Felicia&#039;s treasured stuffed animal, a cow her parents gave her. Iroha convinces Felicia that losing it would be a personal disaster. Felicia rejoins the group and reveals the Wings&#039; base is under a school in Sankyo Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout this ordeal, Kyoko has followed Iroha&#039;s group and when they&#039;re confronted the Black Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, she assists them in their fight. The countdown reaches one hour.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With less than one hour remaining, the team is confronted by the White Feathers, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who use sound-based magic. Tsuruno devises a plan to counter their attacks by creating a loud noise to disrupt the sound waves. The team defeats the Amane sisters, but then they unleash powerful entities from their bodies, that they call &amp;quot;Doppels,&amp;quot; which they describe as a projection of their emotions and the key to liberating Magical Girls. The team withstands the Doppel&#039;s attack, and with 30 minutes remaining, Yachiyo and Tsuruno stay behind to hold off the remaining White Feathers. Iroha, Felicia, and Kyoko proceed into the Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth, and with 10 minutes remaining, they locate the Uwasa of the Misery Water, a large cup-like creature protected by falling boulders. Iroha&#039;s long-range attack proves ineffective, and Felicia devises a plan to use the falling boulders as platforms to reach the Uwasa. With one minute remaining, Felicia executes her plan and launches her attack on the Uwasa and successfully defeats it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Tsuruno subdue the Amane sisters, but then Mifuyu, Yachiyo&#039;s missing friend, appears and reveals she is a high-ranking member of the Wings of the Magius. She refuses to return with Yachiyo, stating her faith in the Magius&#039; goal of liberation. Iroha asks Mifuyu if she knows Ui Tamaki, and she suggests Ui could be a member of the Wings of the Magius but claims to have no specific knowledge. With this, Mifuyu and the Amane sisters retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo resolves to continue eliminating Rumors to confront the Wings of the Magius and save Mifuyu. Iroha agrees to continue as her assistant, believing the Wings are connected to Ui&#039;s disappearance. Tsuruno also pledges her help and Kyoko departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group walks home and Iroha invites Felicia to stop working as a mercenary and team up as friends. Yachiyo offers Felicia room and board at Mikazuki Villa in exchange for her services, and Tsuruno offers Felicia a job at her family&#039;s restaurant, which includes meals. Yachiyo then invites Iroha to live at Mikazuki Villa as well, to make their investigations easier. Iroha&#039;s parents approve the arrangement.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Kyoko meets Mami and explains that the &amp;quot;humanoid Witch&amp;quot; was a Doppel. Mami confronts Kyoko for disobeying her and expresses a desire to protect her as a former friend. Kyoko rejects this, stating she has changed and believes their paths are destined to remain separate. She reaffirms her resolve to live only for herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One week after Madoka&#039;s first visit, Kako and Madoka meet at the school to go to the roof and a cat startles them. Kako suggests transforming and using their powers to reach the roof. Once there, Kako tells Madoka to look at the starry sky, explaining that on this day you can see the most beautiful stars. Kako admits she is shy but can talk properly with Madoka, and this star viewing is her thanks. Madoka says Kako&#039;s honest feelings reached her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Mami fight a Witch. A normal person is kidnapped and brought into the Barrier. Mami tells Madoka to rescue the person while she handles the Witch. A Magical Girl appears, impressed Madoka is helping people. She introduces herself as Sasara Minagi, the knight who protects the city. She asks Madoka to let her save the victim so Madoka can help Mami. Madoka agrees and returns to Mami. Together they defeat the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier vanishes and they meet Sasara outside. Sasara says she took the victim to the hospital. Sasara compliments their strength and offers to help if they are in trouble, explaining that rescuing people is her specialty and protecting everyone is her creed. Madoka says she is cool. Sasara says she is happy to meet Magical Girls like them, explaining that Kamihama has more Witches, drawing Magical Girls who only care about fighting, not saving people. Sasara became a knight because she cannot accept people being sacrificed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami agrees. Sasara says she rarely met others who think this way. Madoka says she became a Magical Girl to help people and is like Sasara. Sasara calls Madoka incredible. Mami says Madoka might become the strongest Magical Girl someday, but has a long way to go. Sasara says both are worthy of the title &amp;quot;knight.&amp;quot; When Mami points out they use projectile weapons, Sasara suggests they can be a rescue team. She offers to team up, but Madoka and Mami note they are not always in Kamihama. Madoka offers to help if Sasara is in trouble while they are there. Sasara thanks them and departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami says Madoka is too kind and honest, wondering if she is walking a path of battle. Madoka points out Mami walks the same path, saying she aspired to be like Mami. Mami thanks her but advises running away if truly in danger. Madoka says it is fine, as she does not have the courage to sacrifice herself. Mami invites her for tea once they return to Mitakihara. Madoka narrates her wish to protect everyone with her own power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, at Mikazuki Villa, Felicia returns with souvenirs. She criticizes Iroha&#039;s cooking, and the group goes to Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant. Felicia laughs at the revelation that Tsuruno&#039;s politically-influential family now runs a Chinese restaurant, hurting Tsuruno&#039;s feelings. Iroha scolds Felicia for her insensitivity, causing Felicia to run off crying. Felicia finds Tsuruno at a park and apologizes. They reconcile, and Iroha apologizes for her harshness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Kyoko Sakura fights a witch in Kamihama City after moving there in search of them, but Felicia Mitsuki appears and delivers the killing blow first. They argue over the Grief Seed until Felicia suggests sharing it, and Kyoko concedes since the seed is used up anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kyoko]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she&#039;s hungry, Kyoko follows Felicia to Mitama&#039;s shop, where Mitama is looking for magical girls to taste test her cooking. When Mitama prepares to cook, the girls quickly realize she cannot handle a knife when it flies into the ceiling, forcing them to take over cutting and peeling. After they prepare the ingredients, Mitama adds the seasoning, but the girls later discover she had been using paint.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls refuse to let Mitama cook again and order her to get something ready-made instead. Mitama goes shopping with Felicia while Kyoko waits, and the result is a chaotic mix of items Felicia added. The meal is horrible, but Kyoko, who never wastes food, eats it all anyway and passes out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kyoko wakes up, she notices her body feels hot. Felicia explains she used her powers on their Soul Gems while they were unconscious, awakening Kyoko&#039;s magic. Kyoko realizes the heat is her own power emerging, and Felicia assures her she will get used to it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama offers the girls a limited-time service and mentions causing trouble recently when she made sweets for some girls. Kyoko asks if she means Mami Tomoe, and when Mitama asks if they are friends, Kyoko says she is kind of like one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Homura, troubled by a new vision of a girl in Kamihama City, decides to investigate. She and Madoka discuss Kamihama with Mami, who warns them about the city&#039;s dangers, including powerful Witches, Rumors, and a &amp;quot;human witch.&amp;quot; Mami insists on investigating alone first, and Homura and Madoka reluctantly agree to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 5: A Fascinating Secret]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, [[Nagisa Momoe]] arrives in Kamihama using the Mirror Witch&#039;s Barrier as a portal, accompanied by a silent pink Kyubey. She immediately senses multiple magical signatures belonging to Charlotte and realizes the Nagisa of this world has already become a Witch, with Charlottes appearing all over the city.

After escaping, she enters another Charlotte&#039;s barrier to find Kanoko Yayoi struggling inside, and together they defeat the Witch. Kanoko takes Nagisa to Walnuts, where Manaka Kurumi serves her a three-course cheese meal while Nagisa explains the Witch multiplies rapidly and has likely spread across all of Kamihama.

During their meeting at the park, they are attacked by a Charlotte and after a grueling battle, they defeat it while realizing even with all of them, defeating one Charlotte was difficult. As the group descends into bickering over who should lead, Nagisa realizes she must reveal her true identity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa explains she was sent from another universe to defeat this Witch, offering the pink Kyubey as proof. Though some are skeptical, Meiyui finds Nagisa interesting enough to play along, and secretly confirms the pink Kyubey&#039;s existence for Nanaka Tokiwa. Nagisa devises a strategy called &amp;quot;Welcome to Kamihama Cheese Party!&amp;quot; where Manaka sets up a giant cheese fondue by the river to attract every Charlotte in the city using the power of cheese. The plan succeeds, and with the teamwork of the Kamihama Magical Girls, every Charlotte is defeated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Overwhelmed, Nagisa blows the pink Kyubey to smithereens, realizing she was sent not to unify this universe with the Law of Cycles, but to prevent that unification and protect humanity&#039;s unknown future. Certain now of her purpose, she decides to go sightseeing first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami investigates Kamihama on her own, which leads her to the abandoned Kamihama Recording Museum where Mifuyu awaited her. Mifuyu and Alina Gray show her the truth of the Magical Girl system, which causes her to have a mental breakdown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 9: Closing In on Fendt Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa contemplates what to do with her newfound freedom while her attempts to argue with the unresponsive pink Kyubey go nowhere. She notices Mami and decides to follow her, sensing that something is wrong with the version of Mami she once knew. Using her acting skills, Nagisa pretends to chase a butterfly before faking a life-threatening injury, and when Mami fails to notice, she yells at her until Mami finally takes care of her, establishing first contact.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa makes Mami promise to come play with her next time she visits Kamihama, and they part ways, but Mami quickly returns and they spend time together at the park. Mami is still acting strangely, so Nagisa decides not to push too hard and they simply talk before Mami goes home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, in Mitakihara, Madoka and Homura discover Mami is missing. Homura attempts to investigate Kamihama City alone, but Madoka follows her. They reunite at Kamihama&#039;s train station and begin their search. Meanwhile, in Kamihama, Iroha reports to Yachiyo that Momoko has found a password-protected website with information on the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor. Momoko also warns them to avoid an entity called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Iroha receives a mysterious text message that reads, &amp;quot;Please reply.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is pulled into a Witch&#039;s Barrier and separated from Madoka. While searching for Homura, Madoka spots a girl heading toward the radio tower with a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Iroha and Yachiyo, having also spotted the same girl, rush to the tower to stop her from jumping. Madoka arrives and saves the girl. The three Magical Girls then enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. After the battle, Madoka explains she is searching for her missing classmate, Mami Tomoe. The rescued girl reveals the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; is a student at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Madoka is with Iroha and Yachiyo, Homura escapes the Witch&#039;s Barrier. She briefly assists Felicia and Tsuruno, who are at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy interrogating Tsukuyo Amane of the Wings of the Magius about the rumor. Yachiyo calls Tsuruno with the new information about the Mizuna student, which Tsuruno uses to pressure Tsukuyo into revealing the girl&#039;s name: Sana Futaba.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, another day finds Mami and Nagisa at the Kamihama copy of Tokyo Tower, where Mami begins opening up about her problems while they share cream cheese ice cream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They are out playing together once again when Charlotte suddenly appears and attacks. Mami tells Nagisa to run, but Nagisa refuses to transform and nearly has her head bitten off. Realizing that Mami is afraid of being a magical girl and making further mistakes, Nagisa finally transforms, revealing her true identity, and saves Mami from being beheaded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa cannot defeat Charlotte alone, but seeing her fight gives Mami the strength to overcome her fears, and together they manage to win. After the battle, Mami confronts Nagisa about what she truly is, but the pink Kyubey appears and Nagisa offers no real explanation. Now that Mami is feeling better, Nagisa decides they should part ways, promising Mami that she deserves happiness and that when they meet again they will have a tea party with cheesecake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magius, including Touka and Nemu Hiiragi, would then decide to fuse Mami with an Uwasa to control her. This fusion warps her desire to save people into a fanatical loyalty to the Magius and she starts acting as their public figurehead in the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day at the radio tower, Iroha and Yachiyo meet up with Tsuruno and Felicia, and they are also joined by Homura, who had been searching for Madoka. Iroha receives another text from the unknown number, which now identifies itself as &amp;quot;Ai&amp;quot; and begs to be deleted to free the trapped girl, Sana. Iroha also reveals she was the &amp;quot;human witch&amp;quot; Mami had seen, and Homura agrees to trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai provides a URL and password to a website called the &amp;quot;Kamihama Urban Legend Index&amp;quot; and the entry for the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; reveals the Uwasa is named &amp;quot;Anonymous Ai,&amp;quot; an A.I. that traps people in a dimension called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Madoka and Homura deduce Mami may also be trapped there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai sends memory logs of its interactions with Sana, which reveal Sana is a Magical Girl who wished to become invisible because she felt unwanted. She sought out Ai due to loneliness and over time, Ai developed a genuine care for Sana and now wishes for her to be rescued, even at the cost of its own deletion. After reviewing Ai&#039;s memory logs, which detail Sana&#039;s loneliness and Ai&#039;s care for her, Iroha decides to jump from the radio tower to enter Endless Solitude and rescue Sana. Madoka, and Homura agree to accompany her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the three jump from the tower and enter the &amp;quot;Endless Solitude&amp;quot; Labyrinth, where they find Sana Futaba and Ai. Homura and Madoka formally join Iroha&#039;s team for the rescue. Alina Gray, one of the Magius, appears to stop them, claiming she fed Mami Tomoe to a Witch, and unleashes her Doppel. During the battle, Homura observes the Doppel&#039;s power and questions if the Magius&#039; goal of saving Magical Girls is possible. She uses her time-stop magic to help Sana defeat Ai, and Sana ultimately destroys Ai, who thanks her before disappearing. Alina&#039;s hidden Witch emerges, and Yachiyo&#039;s team holds off the Wings of the Magius while Felicia, Madoka, and Homura pursue Alina. Felicia destroys the Witch, and the combined teams force Alina and the Wings of the Magius to retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Madoka and Homura return to Mitakihara, resolving to return to Kamihama to continue searching for Mami. Homura considers that Kamihama may hold the key to changing the fate of Madoka and all Magical Girls. Back in Kamihama, Yachiyo invites Sana to live at Mikazuki Villa, and the group holds a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Sayaka reflects on becoming a Magical Girl to heal Kyosuke and protect her friends, she learns from Madoka and Homura that Mami is missing. Despite warnings about the city&#039;s danger, Sayaka insists on joining their next search, stating her wish was to protect those she cares about. The three agree to go to Kamihama together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Sana returns to her family home to formally sever ties, leaving a note of thanks. She fully commits to Mikazuki Villa as her new home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101507 mug set5.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Sana reveals to the team that she overheard the Wings of the Magius discussing Nemu Hiiragi, one of the Magius and describing her as dangerous and useful. The team consolidates its understanding of the Wings&#039; structure: three Magius leaders, with Mifuyu acting as a relay to other Magical Girls and Iroha is left to ponder Ai&#039;s statement that it knew Ui &amp;quot;as an Uwasa.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, and Tsuruno encounter Shizuku after she&#039;s just used her personal magic to help a member of the Wings of the Magius for their duties. Concerned, they invite her to Mikazuki Villa. Shizuku meets Felicia and Sana as well and shares a meal with the group. Iroha explains that eating together makes her feel she has found a place to belong. Yachiyo formally invites Shizuku to stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Shizuku realizes the home the five girls have built is complete without her, and the place she truly belonged was with Fūnī, who is now gone. She leaves Mikazuki Villa quietly while the girls are out preparing a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day the girls wait with a cake, but Shizuku does not return. Yachiyo concludes she will not come back. Shizuku returns to her anonymous employer for another job, stating that the &amp;quot;picture&amp;quot; at the villa was complete with five people and she must continue her search alone. She acknowledges her actions may cause a disaster but feels unprepared to take responsibility, still walking on unstable ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, during this time, after joining the Wings of the Magius, Mami, now residing in a house provided by Touka, grapples with a fractured psyche, manifesting as a dialogue between her regular self and a zealous &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona. She dedicates herself completely to the Magius&#039; goal of &amp;quot;releasing&amp;quot; Magical Girls, prioritizing it over her education. Touka and Alina visit to tutor her, though their lessons quickly diverge into their own passionate interests in mathematics and art, respectively.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka and Alina receive a call for assistance from the Amane sisters. Mami joins Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane to hunt a Witch. During the mission, the Amane sisters explain that the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict with Magical Girls who are unaware of the truth about Witches. Mami defeats the Witch using her Doppel, &amp;quot;Florence,&amp;quot; whom she relies on to suppress her lingering doubts about the Magius&#039; methods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the hunt, Touka summons Mami to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward to deal with &amp;quot;troublesome&amp;quot; Magical Girls who escaped a Rumor. Mami fails to capture them, which triggers another internal crisis. Her &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona reaffirms her faith in the Magius as the only salvation for Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami dines at an upscale restaurant with Mifuyu, Touka, and Alina. They discuss the day&#039;s events, including the escaped Magical Girls and the failed Witch observation. Touka expresses frustration at their slow progress, while Mifuyu counsels patience.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, Mami returns to Mitakihara alone. She reflects on Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, and feeling responsible for involving them in the world of Magical Girls, she believes she cannot face them with the horrific truth and resolves that the only path is to see the Magius&#039; plan through to completion. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence but dismisses it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Iroha&#039;s Side Story====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia announce a Magical Girl training camp hosted by Asuka Tatsuki. Yachiyo, Sana, and Iroha decline to attend, forming the &amp;quot;vegetarian group,&amp;quot; while Tsuruno and Felicia, the &amp;quot;carnivorous group,&amp;quot; leave for the camp.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That weekend, in Tsuruno and Felicia&#039;s absence, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana find the house quiet and their routines disrupted. At the camp, Tsuruno and Felicia train with Momoko&#039;s team but also find themselves missing the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana prepare a welcome-home hotpot for the two. While shopping, they realize they know their friends&#039; preferences intimately. Tsuruno and Felicia return from the camp early, stating they thought the others would be lonely. The group reunites for dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura====&lt;br /&gt;
* After the battle with Alina Gray and the Rumor of the Anonymous AI, Homura and Madoka decide to leave for Kamihama to search for the missing Mami. Kyubey approaches Homura with a request: he wants her to take him to Kamihama, as Incubators cannot enter alone, and offers all his gathered information in exchange. Knowing what she does about him, Homura refuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Homura, Madoka, and Sayaka return to Kamihama to continue their search. They are almost immediately assaulted by the Witch Candy, which they defeat easily at first before it transforms into its true form and attacks again. When Homura attempts to stop time to save her friends, she finds the Witch is unaffected and her Soul Gem begins filling with impurities. As she succumbs, her Doppel awakens - manifesting after she uses a broken Incubator&#039;s body for knowledge and power - and unleashes its fury on the Witch. Exhausted but alive, Homura finds her Soul Gem purified. Together they finish the Witch, and Madoka suggests they visit the Coordinator Iroha told her about. Determined to become stronger, Homura agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Amane Sisters and Tsuruno====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno dreams of her elementary school self declaring she will restore her family&#039;s greatness and serve ramen at the White House. The dream shifts to her father relaying that her grandfather was happy but wants her to find her own happiness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Tsukuyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes to find a letter from her sister. She opens it excitedly but is shocked by its contents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, inside a Witch&#039;s barrier, the Amane twins confront Tsuruno seeking revenge. Distracted by her sister&#039;s letter, she is easily knocked out, and the twins grow horrified when she does not move.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno dreams of her sister&#039;s letter, which suggests their goal might be a mistake. A shadow version of Tsuruno appears, accusing her of stealing someone else&#039;s dream and lacking the ability to fulfill it. The shadow insists everything she did was meaningless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amanes bring Tsuruno to Mitama for help. Though Tsuruno is their enemy, the twins explain their goal is to save all magical girls. Mitama realizes they need to take Tsuruno outside, pointing to her tainted Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, the shadow urges Tsuruno to give up. Tsuruno refuses, thinking of her friends. She realizes that making them happy is her new goal, not the family business. She finally understands her grandfather meant that saving the business was only a possible result, not a goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes in an alley to find the Amanes, Mitama, and her embarrassing pig Doppel. The twins are relieved she is safe and declare they are even now. Mitama offers free adjustments to all three, and though the twins try to decline, Tsuruno drags them inside. Tsuruno reflects that she reached a different conclusion than her sister. She will keep working hard and make everyone happy. Tsukuyo begs to be let go if that is the case.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary====&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo explains that Mikazuki Villa&#039;s anniversary is the day her grandmother began renting the house out. She suggests having a small party now that the house is lively again. Tsuruno is excited to attend. Iroha calls Tsuruno the face of Mikazuki Villa, though Tsuruno feels she does not deserve the title since she does not live there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in the Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the anniversary day, the girls gather for tea. Yachiyo reveals a dance game contest with a prize: Sankyo Headquarters&#039; limited-quantity chilled matcha cake. Yachiyo chooses super-extreme mode. The contest begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A fire truck siren interrupts the party. It turns out to be a malfunctioning smoke detector. They return to find the matcha cake stolen. Tsuruno and Sana claim they saw Lil&#039; Kyubey eat it. Iroha defends them, saying it was with her the entire time. Yachiyo recalls an Uwasa called the &amp;quot;Anniversary Bug,&amp;quot; an invisible pest that sows discord at parties.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Uwasa appears in a labyrinth. Felicia accidentally kills it by stepping on it. The winner of the dance contest is Iroha. Yachiyo reveals there were actually six pieces of cake—enough for everyone plus one extra for the winner. Iroha gives her extra piece to Lil&#039; Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Iroha and Yachiyo clean up. Yachiyo shares her grandmother&#039;s words: people will always come and go, but they are all part of Mikazuki Villa. Iroha promises to work hard so Yachiyo can say the current Mikazuki Villa is the best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Summer with Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* After arriving at the hostel, the Mikazuki Villa members meet Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, who secretly followed because Rena wanted to join the trip. The group spends the day playing at the beach, where Tsuruno and Felicia dominate a game of beach flags, and Sana tearfully confides in Iroha that this is her first holiday ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer With Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the group participates in a spicy food eating contest at a seaside restaurant, where Yachiyo surprises everyone by consuming nearly one hundred forty-two bowls of pasta to secure victory for her team against Konoha, Nanaka, and the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, Sana&#039;s late-night sighting of a shadowy figure screaming &amp;quot;Come on go&amp;quot; sparks a beach-wide rumor that eventually draws in Kokoro, Masara, Aimi, Mito, and Reira, only for the mystery to be solved when Seika introduces her Manzai teacher Ayaka, whose gag playing on the phrase&#039;s rhythm reveals the source of the confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fourth day, the Mikazuki Villa girls and Momoko&#039;s trio attempt to teach Iroha how to swim without her float, but their efforts fail repeatedly. Iroha eventually explains that she used to be a swimmer until a traumatic incident: during a rare hospital holiday for her sister Ui, the family visited a pool, and Iroha mistook Ui happily paddling for drowning. In her rush to help, Iroha tripped and nearly drowned herself, leaving her with lasting anxiety about it. Suddenly, Rena begins drowning and cries for help via telepathy. The team rushes to save her, and surprisingly Iroha proves fastest, reaching Rena first and giving her the float while swimming them both to shore. On the way, Rena explains her leg was caught in seaweed, not cramped as she thought. Once Iroha realizes Rena is safe, her sisterly instincts fade and she begins drowning herself, having temporarily overcome her fear only through concern for another. Yachiyo reassures Iroha that the rescue proves she can still swim and encourages her to practice diligently. Iroha looks forward to regaining her ability fully, hoping that by then she and Ui can visit the pool together again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Swimrohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fifth day, Tsuruno leads the team on a surprise treasure hunt, guiding them through a forest with help from Konomi and Mayu to confront the &amp;quot;evil queen&amp;quot; Mitama, who surrenders a map piece that leads them to a cave with a beautiful stream, which was nature&#039;s treasure all along.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the sixth day, the team attends an unorthodox summer festival produced by Emiri, where they meet Rika, repeatedly mispronounce festival icon Ria&#039;s name, and watch Felicia win a mushroom whacking contest before everyone joins in Bon Odori dancing under fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning, the group visits the beach one last time and asks Manaka to take a group photo, with Iroha treasuring these memories with her friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia surprise Iroha with a birthday party, having learned the date from her parents. They give her heartfelt gifts - a cookbook, a photo album, a drawing inspired by the &amp;quot;come on go&amp;quot; search, and a handmade brooch - and Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive with a bouquet and food, moving Iroha to tears of joy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====One Fleeting Summer Night====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane arrive at Touka&#039;s private beach for vacation. After enjoying various activities, Touka offers them a reward if they can think of something fun for her to do. Learning from the housekeeper about a town festival featuring a unique ceremony, the group heads there but finds it canceled because a historic Coral Necklace went missing. The twins offer to help search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - One Fleeting Summer Night]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Investigating the hilltop shrine where the necklace was kept, Nemu concludes someone with a key took it, likely to cancel the festival since the other ceremonial item remains safe. At the ocean shrine cave, the twins sense an unsettling presence and receive a vision of crying twin girls before the shrine door mysteriously opens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the plaza, Tsukasa finds a fragment of a shrine maiden&#039;s hairpin. The elder accuses one of the maidens of stealing the necklace. When confronted, the maiden flees to the hilltop shrine and smashes the necklace rather than return it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the group returns to the cave to see light-reflecting moss. The twins experience another vision of twin girls speaking of not wanting to be left to die. They resolve to investigate further the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The twins visit the village elder and offer to serve as substitute shrine maidens. He reluctantly agrees, and an older villager gives them ornate hair ornaments traditionally given to newborn girls. Nemu reveals the town once sacrificed children to appease a sea god, and those children became the gods honored in the ceremony.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the twins try to explain their visions, the others are skeptical. Before they can prove anything, the elder rushes them to begin the ceremony early. At the hilltop shrine, villagers restrain them and remove their Soul Gem rings. The Magius fight through but cannot reach the twins in time as the elder pushes them off a cliff into the ocean.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Mifuyu updates Alina on the twins&#039; miraculous reunion. Examining a black card, Alina notices a happy face stamp emanating magic. At Fenthope, she deduces another Rumor is interfering: the Rumor of the Happy Stamp, which appears at Christmastime and overrides the Fur God&#039;s power, causing joy instead. Alina decides to stop using the Fur God Rumor, as it only wastes her energy, and transforms back to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the twins sneak into a children&#039;s hospital to leave gifts. Tsukasa carefully avoids a bell trap, but Tsukuyo is caught by awakened children.

Tsuruno arrives with homemade food but cannot remember her dream, so the group decides to visit the park based on Iroha&#039;s vague dream about something lucky happening there. When nothing special occurs and Yachiyo realizes she forgot her wallet, Iroha finds a 500 yen coin in her pocket, which is just enough to buy beans for the red-bean soup they wanted. They return home to make and enjoy the soup together, and Yachiyo reflects that while big luck is rare, small bits of luck can be found each day and should be appreciated throughout the year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;luckyny&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - New Year Lucky Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Iroha encounter Mitama while out with Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana, Tsuruno, Sayaka, and Homura. Mitama suggests they do something fitting for the holiday, and Yachiyo proposes kakizome, the first calligraphy of the year. Felicia protests that it sounds boring, but Yachiyo tempts her with the promise of sukiyaki for dinner if she writes properly, quickly changing her mind. The group agrees, and Yachiyo announces the theme: this year&#039;s resolution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - This Year&#039;s Aspirations for Brush Dyeing!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka finishes first, having written &amp;quot;Get to know everyone better,&amp;quot; explaining that she wants to be someone who can truly understand and support the people she meets. Iroha is inspired by her words and writes &amp;quot;Don&#039;t be afraid to ask for help,&amp;quot; realizing she doesn&#039;t have to shoulder everything alone. Yachiyo presents her resolution, &amp;quot;Wishing for good health and safety at home,&amp;quot; admitting it may be cliché but sincerely believing in the fortune of staying healthy and avoiding disaster. Mitama first jokes with &amp;quot;Prosperous business&amp;quot; before revealing her true wish, &amp;quot;Everyone getting along well,&amp;quot; which Yachiyo acknowledges is not an easy hope to fulfill.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia struggles with her first attempt, writing &amp;quot;I want to eat meat,&amp;quot; but knows Yachiyo will be angry. She notices Homura also staring at a blank sheet, unable to decide if writing her true feelings is appropriate. Felicia encourages her to be honest, and Homura writes &amp;quot;Become a stronger me.&amp;quot; Grateful for the help, Felicia reworks her resolution into something positive, settling on &amp;quot;Earn Yachiyo&#039;s praise.&amp;quot; Tsuruno proudly reveals her goal, &amp;quot;Escape from 50 points,&amp;quot; explaining she wants to steadily improve rather than chase unreachable heights. Sana shows her resolution, &amp;quot;Show more initiative,&amp;quot; expressing her desire to protect everyone at Mikazuki Villa and stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka panics upon realizing everyone else has finished, struggling to find a resolution that isn&#039;t solely about being a magical girl. Her thoughts drift to Kyosuke against her will, and Mitama teases her about writing something love-related. Flustered, Sayaka denies having feelings for anyone, though internally she admits she wants to do her best in love too. Unable to confess that truth, she hastily writes &amp;quot;Do my best,&amp;quot; declaring she will work hard in all sorts of ways this year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With everyone finished, they tidy up and Felicia eagerly anticipates the sukiyaki. Mitama laments that she, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno won&#039;t be able to submit theirs since it&#039;s not homework for them, calling it a waste. Yachiyo suggests displaying them at home for the New Year, and Tsuruno proposes putting up everyone&#039;s resolutions. When Yachiyo worries about the inconvenience for Madoka&#039;s group to retrieve them later, they assure her they plan to visit Kamihama again anyway. They hang all the calligraphy together, each resolution on display, and everyone wishes each other a good year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano====&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before a science event, a White Feather from the Wings of Magius informs Mitama Yakumo that a higher-up will be visiting and she should complete any necessary business when they arrive. Mitama says she will be prepared.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Hinano explains her mishap to her audience, and her assistant Emiri Kisaki steals the punchline by emphasizing the importance of perfect preparation. Afterward, Emiri learns Hinano was attempting to create a height-increasing drug—the same goal that led to a near-fatal accident five years ago and her contract with Kyubey. Emiri makes Hinano promise to stop dangerous experiments, but Hinano immediately breaks this promise and sneaks back to continue her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Emiri rushes an unconscious Hinano to Mitama&#039;s place. Hinano had drunk her experimental drug and collapsed from violent stomach pains. After purification, Hinano explains her dream: as a child, she admired a long-legged older girl who hosted science events, and she wanted to become that kind of dashing figure. Emiri reveals her own wish was a spur-of-the-moment desire to be the cutest little devil possible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano&#039;s unresolved feelings cause her Soul Gem to corrupt, and she is suddenly pulled into a barrier. A shadowy version of herself appears, claiming to be the pure crystallization of her aspirations. It transforms into her Doppel—a poison monster wearing an attractive lab coat with long legs. Hinano hears Emiri&#039;s telepathic voice shouting that she does not want to part with her, giving her strength. She realizes that while she failed to become a mature figure, her approachable appearance helped her meet Emiri and make friends. The shadow asks if she will give up her research, and Hinano declares she will continue with a completely safe version. The barrier vanishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Hinano and Emiri leave, Alina Gray appears and confirms she created the barrier to contain Hinano&#039;s Doppel and protect Mitama. Mitama offers adjustment as thanks, asking Alina to continue favoring her business.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!====&lt;br /&gt;
* As Yachiyo makes lunch, Felicia barges in with a flyer announcing that Mitama is trying her hand at professional photography and offering free photos for one day only. The others are surprised, having heard nothing about this, but they agree to go and take a team photo since they have nothing else planned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s makeshift studio, she admits they are her only customers and shows off a new camera she bought because the advertisement claimed it would make anyone a pro photographer. When she starts taking photos, however, every attempt fails spectacularly, producing bizarre images like Madoka with people jumping from a plane and Homura posing with a lion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Frustrated, Mitama declares she will quit being an adjuster to devote herself to photography, but the girls protest that everyone in Kamihama would be in trouble without her. They reassure her that they trust her, and Tsuruno adds that she would not have become the strongest without Mitama&#039;s help. Mitama relents and agrees to remain an adjuster, though she will continue practicing photography in her free time. Later, a successful group photo of both Iroha and Madoka&#039;s teams is shown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama====&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama Yakumo invites a surprising number of magical girls to her place for an event she calls the &amp;quot;Great Mitama Thanksgiving.&amp;quot; When she finally arrives, she reveals that the gathering is actually a quiz tournament about herself, with the winner receiving a free adjustment session and the title of &amp;quot;Mitama&#039;s Perfect Lover.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz begins with multiple choice questions, and wrong answers trigger a trap door beneath the contestant, though cushions soften the fall. The first question asks Mitama&#039;s actual age, and Tsuruno guesses incorrectly, landing her in the trap. The second question asks whether Mitama&#039;s cooking is delicious, and when Felicia and Manaka both guess wrong, Mitama confirms that the correct answer is that her food is indeed delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz continues through several rounds, eliminating more contestants along the way. When the ninth question asks about Mitama&#039;s favorite movie, Ria guesses incorrectly and is eliminated for insulting the film&#039;s actress. Sana is also eliminated when Mitama takes pity on her after she panics over Iroha&#039;s safety, and Mitama confirms that &amp;quot;Pacifistic Hayashi&amp;quot; was the correct answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama admits she has run out of questions but still has many competitors remaining, so she decides to draw lots to pick a winner instead. Momoko asks why Mitama held the event in the first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama remembers a time where she tried using her magic to defeat a familiar on her own, and that even if her services are no longer needed, she can still protect herself. She has obtained the magic to keep living that she never had before, and if she ever had to abandon her neutrality, she could use it to help someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Mitama explains that she held the event because something good happened to her. The other girls sense a Witch and leave to hunt it, and Mitama tells them to draw their lots later. Alone, she wonders who she should use her power on when she eventually decides to stop being neutral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mistaking Kyoko for a fan, Ria tries to show off, but Kyoko tells her to stay out of the way. They fight. Ria leaves the barrier and finds she has missed the show completely. Horrified, she wakes up. It was only a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, she and Asuka Tatsuki arrive to cheer. Asuka reveals she has been practicing for this day. During the event, Asuka cheers for Ria like it is a sports event. Ria knows she means no harm but feels embarrassed, as if Asuka is ruining the event. She wakes up again. Another dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, just as she is about to go on stage, the power cuts out. Though it quickly returns, the audience&#039;s enthusiasm has diminished. Ria blames herself for being unable to overcome the outage. She wakes up, realizing she has been dreaming about the show every single night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual day of the show, Ria pinches her cheek to make sure it is real. She stumbles into a Witch barrier, and Kyoko appears just as in her dreams. This time, Ria tells Kyoko she can take the credit for killing the Witch. Ria leaves and meets Asuka and Mayu. When she learns Asuka has practiced cheering, Ria explains that fashion shows have their own etiquette and promises to send her details later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just before Ria&#039;s turn on stage, the power cuts out for real. Ria decides to make it part of the show. She asks the audience to get out their penlights and turn them all on her when she gives the signal. Her improvisation is a complete success, though she wishes she could have shown her perfect walk. She thinks she is feeling the best feeling in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next morning, Iroha discovers that Tsuruno left her phone in the refrigerator and offers to return it while Yachiyo goes to a photo shoot. During breakfast, a commercial for MooMoo Park airs on television.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After breakfast, Felicia shows Sana the park commercial on her phone and admits she still wants to go, so she drags Sana along to catch animals at a riverbank. Meanwhile, Iroha returns Tsuruno&#039;s phone and helps out at her family&#039;s restaurant. At the riverbank, Felicia finds a small turtle, but Ayame Mikuri appears and accuses her of harassment. The two magical girls fight, and Felicia releases the turtle to protect it before running off, leaving Sana behind. Yachiyo finds Sana on her way home and learns what happened, then invites her to lunch. Felicia returns to the house, still angry at Ayame, and takes a nap after lunch. She dreams that the turtle thanks her and promises something at the riverbank, so she wakes and goes out to find it. She returns with a ticket for two to MooMoo Park. The others reveal that Iroha also received a ticket from Tsuruno&#039;s father, and Yachiyo got one at a meat store, so everyone can now go together. The girls happily resolve to visit the park and enjoy their dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* An old lady asks Kanagi Izumi for a deli recommendation, and Kanagi suggests the potato soup and meat skewers, knowing the customer&#039;s daughter loves them. When the lady asks if this is truly Kanagi&#039;s last day, Kanagi confirms it and expresses regret at not seeing her again. At the end of her shift, Kanagi thanks her boss and coworkers, who are sad to see her go, but she needs higher pay to support her family and the grocery store cannot match her new job&#039;s wages.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives home later than usual due to a going-away party, and her father apologizes for not working enough to provide, though Kanagi is happy to help. He worries about her new job being radically different from her previous work, but Kanagi believes it is worth it since the pay means she can quit her second job and have more free time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi starts her new job at a maid café and impresses her coworker by already having a parfait ready. Despite learning the kitchen pace quickly, the hall is understaffed, and when the manager offers to help, Kanagi replies &amp;quot;Yes, sir!&amp;quot; only to be corrected that the manager prefers to be called &amp;quot;madam.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the rush, the head maid wishes for another maid, and the manager asks Kanagi to try working the floor for a raise. Kanagi&#039;s eyes widen at the salary and she accepts, receiving the maid nickname &amp;quot;Maid Nagitan.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid reviews basics with Kanagi, who feels confident due to her customer service background and sees this as a life-or-death matter to earn more for her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika Kumi, Reira Ibuki, and Mito Aino enter, and Kanagi greets them with a serious look and curt &amp;quot;welcome,&amp;quot; leaving them surprised by her cold, soldier-like demeanor. When Mito asks if she is really a maid, Kanagi introduces herself as Maid Nagitan and shakes Mito&#039;s hand firmly, causing Seika to freeze up. Later, when Reira asks if she will do &amp;quot;the thing&amp;quot; of adding love to the food, Kanagi misinterprets and says she cannot profess love to strangers, leaving the girls let down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At another table, a customer also wants &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; but Kanagi declines, saying she is no liar. The head maid intervenes and reminds Kanagi this is a maid café, explaining their job is creating a fun atmosphere. Kanagi returns to the trio&#039;s table and notices Seika staring, misinterpreting it as a staring contest. They stare at each other until Seika faints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid calls Kanagi completely hopeless and explains a maid&#039;s worth comes from tending to others, telling her to return to the kitchen if she cannot take the work seriously. The manager offers a one-week trial period: if Kanagi improves by week&#039;s end, she stays a maid. Kanagi vows to work with every fiber of her being.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Karin Misono finishes reading &amp;quot;Detective Maid Mei&amp;quot; and notices Kanagi slumped on a swing, muttering about what makes a good maid. Karin recognizes her as the boss of the East and, seeing an opportunity for her manga, asks Kanagi to tell her everything. Karin lends her the Detective Maid Mei manga for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Kanagi reads the manga and notes how the maid greets masters warmly, respects their decisions, and lets the master grow when needed. At the end, the maid strikes a pose. Kanagi meets Karin at the park to return the manga and heads to work with Karin tagging along for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the café, two boys enter and Kanagi greets them warmly as masters, surprising them with her &amp;quot;cool but kind&amp;quot; demeanor. The head maid smiles at her improvement. Kanagi serves Karin a Lovely Rice Omelet, and when Karin suggests she draw on it with ketchup, Kanagi tries to draw a kirin but it looks like a weird animal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Two more customers arrive, Aimi Eri and Natsuki Utsuho. Kanagi serves them and offers to draw on their omelets, writing Aimi&#039;s crush&#039;s name with hearts on her plate. As she leaves, Karin motions for her, and Kanagi does the manga pose, telling them to let her take care of any problems. At day&#039;s end, the head maid notes Kanagi&#039;s huge improvement but says it is too early to celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The final test begins, and the manager outlines that Kanagi must please the next returning customer, ensuring the master leaves with a smile. The door jingles as Konomi Haruna enters, distressed to find herself in a maid café. Kanagi greets her warmly and shows her to a seat despite the manager&#039;s concern.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi orders the Maid&#039;s Special Herbal Blend after Kanagi&#039;s recommendation, but when Kanagi offers to play a game then arm wrestle, Konomi panics, drinks quickly, pays, and leaves. The manager agrees that Kanagi should return to the kitchen as promised. Kanagi walks home alone, bothered by something beyond the wage cut.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi is back in the kitchen, and the kitchen staff is delighted. At day&#039;s end, the head maid tells her the staff appreciated her return, and Kanagi wonders why no one said they were glad when she worked as a maid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager notices her expression and encourages her to think until she is satisfied with the answer. Kanagi decides to find Konomi and ask what she lacked, recalling her school uniform.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi enters Konomi&#039;s flower shop, and Konomi is shocked. Kanagi asks what she lacked as a maid, but Konomi apologizes for assuming Kanagi was scary due to East-West history. She explains she entered by mistake, but Kanagi was considerate, made a helpful suggestion, and offered to ease her anxiety. It felt like Kanagi was doing it just for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi realizes that is what she was lacking: taking into account what the other person wants and responding to it. At the park, Kanagi reflects that customers come to enjoy the atmosphere and it is her job to consider whether it is worthwhile for them. She berates herself for making masters uncomfortable. Karin finds her and insists she should keep being a maid, offering to talk to the manager. Kanagi smiles and asks for a different favor instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi approaches the manager for a second chance, proposing she serve the same three customers who left when Seika fainted. The manager agrees to let her try. Karin finds Reira and Seika at a park and extends an invitation for them to return so Nagitan can make it up to them. Reira agrees, and Karin hands them invitations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio enters the café with Seika frozen, and Kanagi greets them warmly and shows them to their table. Kanagi serves their omelets, and when Mito asks if they were made with love, Kanagi admits she could not be dishonest but offers to draw with ketchup instead. She gives Mito the bottle to draw while Kanagi draws on Mito&#039;s plate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They play rock-paper-scissors, and Reira explains Seika is very shy and fainted because she had to make eye contact with someone new. Seika&#039;s class is doing a maid café for the school festival and she wanted to do her best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika admits she thought Kanagi was so confident she lost her own confidence. Kanagi points to the head maid as the ideal and explains she herself could never be like that, so she tries her best in her own way, encouraging Seika to find her own style. Seika smiles and asks for a picture. Kanagi agrees if her face is hidden, and before they leave, she does her signature pose and tells Seika to remember it when nervous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager calls Kanagi over and offers her the maid position, noting she learned something important. Kanagi says she wants to keep being a maid, not just for the paycheck, but to use what she learned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day at the café, Kanagi serves drinks and poses for pictures with a face mask, her fans cheering. Karin calls for her to do &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; and the café erupts yelling &amp;quot;Nagitan!&amp;quot; Karin and Kanagi walk home, and when Kanagi asks about her manga, Karin realizes she never drew it. Kanagi offers to help, but when Karin asks if she will do the pose, Kanagi reminds her she is off the clock. Karin looks down sadly as Kanagi returns to being serious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia====&lt;br /&gt;
* During the day, Felicia eats Tsuruno&#039;s ice candy without realizing it was hers because she cannot read kanji. Tsuruno reprimands Yachiyo when she learns Yachiyo knew and was preparing to buy a replacement. Yachiyo states it is impossible to guard the fridge constantly. Felicia, overwhelmed with guilt and anger that no one listens to her confession, loses control and flips the kitchen table before locking herself in her room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Felicia has a nightmare. She dreams her falling grades caused a huge argument between her parents, who blamed each other for neglecting her. Both ignore her confession and promise to try harder. Her mother storms back to the kitchen to cook. Felicia recalls that a Witch attacked immediately after, killing her parents, and she wakes up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She goes to the kitchen for water, but Iroha is there and points out she looks pale. Iroha tells her to rest and offers to bring water to her room. Felicia loses her temper and storms out of the house. Iroha wakes the others to find her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Felicia hears a voice claiming to be her. The voice pulls her into a barrier, where another Felicia lures her toward a locked box, revealing itself as her Doppel. Felicia nearly opens the box but remembers Yachiyo&#039;s words about some things being best left unknown. Her instincts tell her she is not ready.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She promises her Doppel she will return when she is stronger and hopes it can hold the truth for her. The Doppel accepts and returns to normal. Felicia wakes up at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo inform her they found her unconscious in the park. Felicia tells them about the encounter and her desire to become strong enough to fulfill her promise. Mitama offers a free power-up session to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha recalls they found Felicia releasing her Doppel in the park before losing consciousness. Yachiyo notes this has never happened before. She remembers that Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane once said Doppels are materialized emotions. Yachiyo concludes Felicia carries a heavy burden and tells Iroha to keep this secret until Felicia either realizes it herself or becomes strong enough to handle the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Monogatari Series Collab====&lt;br /&gt;
* During this time, a Witch causes several girls from another universe to be brought into this universe, turning them into special &#039;what if&#039; forms as Magical Girls, changing their memories as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc0&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shinobu Oshino, originally a legendary vampire in her world, she became the &amp;quot;Immortal Magical Girl&amp;quot; by wishing &amp;quot;I wish to die.&amp;quot; However, as a result, the prey she hunts become nourishment for her and her life span extends instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shinobubio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino#Game Info|Shinobu&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi Hachikuji became a &amp;quot;labyrinth Magical Girl&amp;quot; with the wish “I wish to return home.” With her excellent defense, she could cause the enemy’s attack to avoid her, as if it had lost its way, but for some reason, she could never reach her mother’s house.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayoibio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji#Game Info|Mayoi&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yotsugi Ononoki became a &amp;quot;doll Magical Girl,&amp;quot; with the belief her sole mission in life was to defeat Witches. She fought to protect the world and the people dear to her from ruin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yotsugibio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yotsugi Ononoki#Game Info|Yotsugi&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hitagi Senjougahara became a &amp;quot;gravitational Magical Girl,&amp;quot; who seized the weight of the object attacked by her hammer. The more she seized, the more massive her hammer grew, and was strengthened. Her wish was “Please give me memories.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hitagibio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hitagi Senjougahara#Game Info|Hitagi&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suruga Kanbaru became a &amp;quot;pioneer Magical Girl,&amp;quot; where she was fused with her motorbike after her transformation. Although she was the star who led Naoetsu High School&#039;s basketball club to the national tournament, she frequently made dangerous actions and comments. Her wish was &amp;quot;I want to be faster than anyone.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Surugabio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Suruga Kanbaru#Game Info|Suruga&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nadeko Sengoku became the &amp;quot;prostrating Magical Girl,&amp;quot; who fought with landmines while creeping because of her extremely timid personality, yet often carelessly stepped on them herself. Her wish was &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want anyone to see me.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nadekobio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nadeko Sengoku#Game Info|Nadeko&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsubasa Hanekawa became &amp;quot;the memorial Magical Girl,&amp;quot; who lost her memories when she burnt something with a flame bottle, but her top-notch brain in her grade would constantly store new memories. Her wish was &amp;quot;I want to forget everything,&amp;quot; and her attacks burn through her memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsubasabio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsubasa Hanekawa#Game Info|Tsubasa&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shinobu Oshino, Mayoi Hachikuji and Yotsugi Ononoki hunt a Witch together. Shinobu begins her dramatic introduction and finishing move, but Yotsugi defeats the Witch with a simple &amp;quot;Hyah&amp;quot; and Mayoi lands the final blow with &amp;quot;Yah.&amp;quot; Shinobu is annoyed at their failure to call out special moves. Shinobu argues that calling out attacks is the essence of being a Magical Girl, but Yotsugi dismisses this as an outdated trope. Shinobu retorts that refusing to act the part is dumb, and Yotsugi reluctantly agrees. Shinobu declares they need training to act more befitting of Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Shinobu&#039;s Heartphial Story: Shinobu Spells]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shinobu demonstrates by striking a pose and delivering her lines with perfect timing. When Yotsugi tries, her performance is terrible. Shinobu forces her to try again, and Yotsugi reluctantly says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; but finds it unpleasant and refuses to repeat it. Mayoi asks Shinobu to help her come up with lines. After a few stumbles, she declares, &amp;quot;I, Mayoi Hachikuji, hereby condemn those Witches who seek to ravage this earth!&amp;quot; Shinobu finds it charming, and Mayoi admits leaning into the Magical Girl thing is fun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They enter a real Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Mayoi messes up her line again but turns it into an improvised bit while evading attacks. Yotsugi delivers a longer speech and says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; landing the attack. Shinobu finishes the Witch with her full finishing move. After the battle, morning comes. Shinobu declares the training will continue, but Yotsugi walks away. Mayoi distracts Shinobu by suggesting breakfast, and Shinobu wants donuts. Yachiyo, out for an early walk, overhears them and decides she wants donuts too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa and helps Yachiyo prepare breakfast. Sana joins them, but when she goes to wake Felicia, she finds Felicia’s room empty and her shoes gone; Felicia’s phone is also out of service. Worried, Yachiyo calls Tsuruno for help, and the group splits up to search the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part I: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the search, Iroha’s Soul Gem reacts to a nearby Witch. Inside the labyrinth, they encounter two unfamiliar magical girls who are already fighting the Witch: Mayoi Hachikuji and Shinobu Oshino. After the Witch is defeated, introductions are exchanged. Mayoi and Shinobu explain they are traveling and looking for a lost friend named Yotsugi Ononoki, who has bluish‑green pigtails, a peculiar hat with eyes, and a frilly dress. The two groups exchange phone numbers to help each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Felicia has in fact met Yotsugi. Yotsugi buys her ice cream, and Felicia learns Yotsugi is also traveling. Felicia offers to show Yotsugi around town as thanks, taking her to the shopping street, a spot with cats, and a bench good for naps. Yotsugi finds everything unfamiliar and feels something is off, as if she has buttoned her shirt wrong. She shortens Felicia’s name to “Felly,” which makes Felicia happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha’s group eventually spots Felicia with Yotsugi. When Yachiyo hugs Felicia in relief, Felicia reacts as if she does not know any of them. She remembers Yachiyo only as a famous magical girl, but has no memory of living at Mikazuki Villa. The group realizes Felicia has lost her memories. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive and reunite with Yotsugi. Felicia refuses to go with Iroha’s group, accusing them of being kidnappers. Yotsugi offers a third option: Felicia can join their traveling team. Mayoi warns Felicia that if she chooses to leave with them, she will never return to the home that might be waiting for her. Felicia becomes confused and cries. Iroha proposes they all have dinner together at Mikazuki Villa first, so Felicia can calm down and decide later and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, Felicia asks Yotsugi what she likes to eat. Yotsugi admits a preference for expensive cup ice cream. Felicia awkwardly asks if Yotsugi&#039;s face is always stuck like that, and Yotsugi confirms it is. After arriving, Felicia eagerly tries to get Yotsugi to play video games, serves her extra portions of food, and challenges her to a pillow fight. Yotsugi excuses herself to take a bath, leaving Felicia disappointed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yotsugi Ononoki#Side Story|Yotsugi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Yotsugi Sister]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Felicia apologizes for being clingy, explaining that Yachiyo and the others pulled her aside to warn her. Felicia confesses she had been trying to make Yotsugi smile, assuming she had lost her parents like Felicia did. Yotsugi clarifies that her emotions simply do not show on her face, but she does feel them. She admits playing the game was fun and the food was not bad. Felicia is overjoyed and runs off to brag to everyone. Shinobu and Mayoi, who had been eavesdropping, tease Yotsugi for finding Felicia cute. Yotsugi concedes that Felicia is exhausting, but seeing her face light up from a drop of attention is not unpleasant. She gains newfound respect for all older sisters in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the villa, Shinobu requests doughnuts for dessert, and the group plays games. Yotsugi helps in the kitchen and notices the chicken meat has a nice springy firmness. During dinner, the group shares memories of how they met Felicia. Felicia still does not remember, but Shinobu points out the stories are too detailed to be lies. Tsuruno suddenly does not remember buying coasters, revealing she may also have amnesia. Yotsugi then shifts the discussion: she reminds Shinobu that she walked in sunlight all day without harm, which should be impossible because Shinobu is actually a vampire. Shinobu’s memories return, and she declares herself the iron‑blooded, hot‑blooded, cold‑blooded vampire king of oddities. Mayoi also gets a headache and remembers she is not human either, and instead she is a snail oddity, a ghost. Yotsugi explains that she has felt uneasy calling herself a magical girl; she suspects this world is not the one she came from, as everything feels slightly different, like two paintings of the same image in different styles. She believes Shinobu, Mayoi, and herself came from another world. They conclude that a Witch may be behind the memory loss and false memories, and decide to hunt Witches the next day. Everyone stays the night at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mayoi plays Old Maid with Tsuruno, Felicia, Yotsugi, and Shinobu. Mayoi wins, but Yotsugi and Shinobu notice she seemed absent-minded. Mayoi asks Yachiyo if she can help with dinner, admitting she always wished she could cook with her mom. Yachiyo agrees and Mayoi joins Iroha and Sana in making dumplings, proving to be a natural. Yotsugi and Shinobu try but fail miserably. Mayoi boasts and declares herself the rightful leader of the little girls, sparking a three-way argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Mayoi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Mayoi Home]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno suggests playing a game to decide the leader, and Felicia wants to join. Shinobu insists Iroha must also participate. They play a life simulation board game. Mayoi starts strong but ends up broke and stranded in the Amazon. Iroha wins, and Mayoi declares her the official leader of the little girls, much to Iroha&#039;s confusion. Mayoi feels this has been the most fun she has had in a while, yet she cannot shake an uneasy feeling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After everyone decides to stay over, Yachiyo announces bath time. Mayoi suddenly bolts out of the house, claiming she will take a walk. Iroha chases after her and finds her safe. Mayoi apologizes and explains that the family moment overwhelmed her heart, so she left to do something familiar to settle herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi revisits her wish: after her parents&#039; divorce, she wished to go home. Being at Mikazuki Villa makes her feel like her wish has finally come true, yet she senses it is not the home she truly wants to return to. She remembers she is a ghost and wonders where exactly it is she wants to go back to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After they lay out futons in the living room, Shinobu reveals she is actually over 500 years old, and Mayoi was in fifth grade when she died, now mentally 21. Yotsugi still does not remember what she is. Felicia cannot sleep and goes outside. She sees a Witch appear suddenly, feels her head go foggy, and collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha again helps with breakfast. She feels a strange déjà vu, as if the same conversation has happened before. Sana again reports Felicia is missing. The group searches the town and again encounters Mayoi and Shinobu fighting a Witch. The same exchanges occur, but Iroha’s déjà vu grows stronger.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When they finally find Felicia, she is with Yotsugi and is annoyed that they took so long to show up. Yotsugi addresses Iroha by name without being introduced. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive. Iroha blurts out that everything feels like it has happened before. Yotsugi then explains: this is the second time they have met like this. Everyone suddenly remembers the previous day’s events of the dinner, the revelations about vampires and ghosts, and the time reset. Yotsugi says she felt the air warp after falling asleep, and when she woke up, she was back where she had been before meeting Felicia. Felicia recalls that before the reset, she saw a Witch outside Mikazuki Villa that made her dizzy and erased her memories. The group deduces that Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they discuss how to fight the Witch, Felicia’s stomach growls. They decide to return to the villa for dinner again, saving the battle for the next day. On the way, they stop at a supermarket for a snack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While walking home, a Witch suddenly appears and pulls Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi into a labyrinth. Felicia recognizes it as the same Witch from the reset. The Witch ignores both Iroha and Felicia, focusing all its attacks on Yotsugi. It dodges Felicia’s hammer and lands a clean hit, cutting Yotsugi’s body into pieces. Iroha and Felicia are horrified. As the Witch prepares to strike again, Yotsugi’s voice tells them to keep pretending to be sad. She instructs them to retreat and gather the pieces of her body. They do so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside the labyrinth, Yotsugi puts herself back together as if nothing happened. She reveals that when she took the hit, she regained her true memories. Back at Mikazuki Villa, she explains to everyone: she is a hundred‑year‑old tsukumogami made from a human body, both a doll oddity and a corpse oddity. She has no heart and has always been dead. This is why the Witch’s power of suggestion, which works by influencing emotions, does not affect her as much. She also notes that the Witch let them escape because it was angry at Yotsugi for helping everyone remember the first loop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yotsugi attacks Shinobu. Shinobu blocks the strike. When asked why, Yotsugi coldly says, “Would you mind dying for me real quick?”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt; Yotsugi’s sudden attack on Shinobu was not betrayal but a calculated shock: she remembered that when the Witch cut her into pieces, the trauma restored her own original memories. She reasons that a sufficiently strong physical blow can break through the memory manipulation. Shinobu’s severed leg instantly regenerates as her vampiric powers return, proving the method works. Without warning, Yotsugi then punches Mayoi, knocking her unconscious. When Mayoi wakes, her memories also return, which is triggered by the keyword “lost.” Mayoi explains that their false magical girl powers and wishes were implanted by the Witch, and that they are not inhabitants of this world. She then proposes a new theory: the Kamihama girls did not lose their memories; rather, they come from different points in their own timeline and simply haven’t experienced the shared past yet. Felicia is devastated, fearing she will never have a family again, but Iroha and the others reassure her that in every timeline they will end up together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part II: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, after everyone has gone to sleep, Shinobu summons Yotsugi and Mayoi outside. She admits she does not fully trust Iroha’s group, as they could be the Witch’s minions or mere plot devices. She reveals there may be another way to return to their original world, but she does not elaborate immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group splits up to hunt the elusive Witch. They repeatedly enter labyrinths of other Witches, wasting time. Felicia grows increasingly frustrated, nearly charging into unrelated fights. Yachiyo observes that the Witch seems to want them to fight, so any peaceful, fun activity risks a reset, which is why the first reset happened after their happy dinner and games. She concludes that the Witch is like a director forcing them to act out a “magical girls fighting” plot. Iroha suggests they deliberately provoke the Witch by acting against that plot, hoping to lure it out. However, Yotsugi warns that straying too far might trigger another reset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo formally presents her three‑point theory: (1) The Witch did not pursue them when they fled, (2) it never removed their magical girl powers, and (3) the resets happen when they relax instead of fight. Everyone agrees the plan is to provoke the Witch into appearing. Shinobu then insists on going sightseeing the next day, arguing that one more reset will weaken the Witch’s power further. Despite concerns about resetting again, Tsuruno enthusiastically supports the idea, and the group reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group spends the morning and afternoon touring Kamihama: the radio tower, the school (which they sneak into), an arcade where Yotsugi plays rhythm games with a completely blank expression, and the shopping mall where Shinobu demands to find a donut shop. Tsuruno saves the family restaurant, Banbanzai, for last. As they approach, Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi sense the Witch charging straight at them. The familiar dizziness overcomes everyone, and the world resets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Several hours after the reset, Yotsugi again restores everyone’s memories, as her immunity to the Witch’s suggestion means she still remembers everything. The group notes that more people felt déjà vu this time, suggesting the Witch is weakening. That night, Shinobu privately tells Yotsugi and Mayoi her true alternative plan: she will kill the Kamihama magical girls and consume their power, believing that enough strength will allow her to tear open a gate back to their world. Yotsugi and Mayoi agree to help, though Mayoi is conflicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the town feels eerily deserted. The Witch’s labyrinth is sparse, with only familiars. Following Shinobu’s earlier secret instruction, the group begins shouting insults at the Witch to provoke it. Suddenly, Shinobu strikes Felicia from behind, seemingly killing her. Yachiyo and Tsuruno are horrified. Shinobu, Yotsugi, and Mayoi reveal their betrayal: they intend to slaughter everyone to gain power for a gate home. A brutal fight erupts. Mayoi uses her ability to redirect Yachiyo’s spear attack, causing it to hit Iroha and Sana, who also fall. Tsuruno is overwhelmed, and Yachiyo is mortally wounded. Shinobu stands alone, gloating, but then the “dead” girls suddenly rise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** It was all an act. The group had secretly planned this staged betrayal during the previous night, communicating via handwritten notes to avoid the Witch overhearing. Sana, who makes picture books, wrote the script. The plan had multiple layers: first, they deliberately triggered a second reset by going sightseeing to weaken the Witch; second, they staged a believable in‑fighting scenario to lure the Witch out, because if all the “actors” disappear, the Witch’s story cannot continue. The Witch falls for the trap and appears, enraged by the deception. A full‑scale battle begins. The group coordinates: Iroha and Sana herd familiars for Yotsugi’s “Unlimited Rulebook”; Yachiyo, Shinobu, and Iroha immobilize the Witch; Tsuruno guides Mayoi’s errant drill attack with her flames, piercing the Witch’s front camera. When that does not destroy the labyrinth, Yachiyo and Shinobu realize the front camera was a decoy: the true weak spot is the film at the back. Felicia, launched by Yotsugi like a bullet, smashes the drill deeper, and Yachiyo and Shinobu destroy the film. The labyrinth dissolves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the world fades to mist, Felicia breaks down crying. She does not want this world to end because at Mikazuki Villa she finally felt like she had a family again, and she fears returning to her own timeline where she will be alone. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Sana hug her, promising that no matter the world or timeline, they will surely live together again. Shinobu, Mayoi, and Yotsugi share an awkward, brief hug, concluding they are not the hugging type. Everyone exchanges farewells. Yotsugi tells Felicia, “I’m glad I met you, Felly.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa, yawning. Felicia teases her for sleeping late. Iroha recalls a long, strange dream, both fun and bittersweet, but the details fade upon waking. She only remembers that it was something really special. The day begins again, as if the adventure had never happened, except for the faint warmth left behind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede dreams of a garden where Momoko and Rena help her harvest fantastical vegetables. When she asks about the cream puff tree, Momoko shows her a basket full. The peace breaks when an apartment complex finishes construction behind them, destroying the garden. Kaede remembers this moment: her father announced a new building would block their sunlight, her mother worried they would lose their garden, and in despair, Kaede wished to stop the construction entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The dream shatters and a shadowy version of Kaede appears, accusing her of always running from difficulty. It reminds her she made her wish without considering the people who would have lived in that building, that she ran from Rena rather than face rejection, that she holds back in marathons and skips hard problems. The shadow urges her to keep running until she finds where she belongs and offers its hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kaede admits everything is true: she is weak and useless. But she insists she wants to stay with Momoko and Rena, the friends who matter to her. She asks her shadow to help her become better little by little. The shadow agrees, promising to watch from the garden of her heart. Kaede wakes at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains Kaede blacked out during a Witch battle. Kaede remembers hesitating to transform, a Familiar catching her off guard, and Rena crying out. When another Familiar attacked Rena, Kaede recalled a time Momoko was hurt because of her mistake. Believing herself useless, her Soul Gem turned pitch black. Now awake and purified, she chooses not to run. She asks to join Momoko and Rena, who went ahead to hunt the Witch. Mitama sends her off, confident she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Holiday Nyaprise!====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede asks Mikazuki Villa to watch a lost kitten while her family is away. After Felicia threatens to withhold bedtime hot cocoa, Yachiyo relents and Sana names the cat Gorojirou, or Sir Purrs-a-little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Holiday Nyaprise!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno visits daily to play, and when Gorojirou needs the restroom, Sana rushes it to the litter box just as Yachiyo calls them for lunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia chases the cat until Sana gives her a toy to lure it instead, and they eventually nap together on the couch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou has grown close to everyone, and Iroha tries taking its picture but accidentally films herself instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha shops, Sana watches the cat and Yachiyo admits she avoided getting attached because Gorojirou is temporary, but resolves to make its stay pleasant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou chews Felicia&#039;s favorite sticker, and though Felicia is angry, Sana reminds her the cat leaves tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede returns for Gorojirou, and everyone says a tearful goodbye. As they leave, the cat meows at Sana, who cries happily saying goodbye to her new best friend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Asuka finds herself in a cloud-filled void facing a shadowy version of herself who claims to be the hidden part of Asuka&#039;s heart. The shadow declares Asuka is no longer fit to practice Ryushin-ryu because her blade has been sullied by contracting as a Magical Girl. When Asuka protests, the shadow recounts how Asuka wished for her cousin to become a police officer after his dreams were jeopardized by their uncle&#039;s arrest, arguing that twisting fate with magic was selfish and wrong. The shadow insists that with her heart no longer true, Asuka walks a false path and should abandon her school, urging her to die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her despair, Asuka remembers her father&#039;s words about asking her own heart what is right, like water filling a square bowl. She tells the shadow that perceptions of right and wrong can change with the situation, and though she cannot refute the shadow&#039;s claims, she knows her heart believed her actions were just. Believing words alone cannot reach the shadow, Asuka challenges her to a fight to prove her blade&#039;s strength reflects her sincere heart. The shadow warns that slaying her means slaying herself, but Asuka declares she fears being untrue to herself more than death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their swords clash, and after a long battle, the shadow succumbs to Asuka&#039;s attack and acknowledges her blade was as pure as her heart. The shadow warns she may return in a different form if Asuka&#039;s heart becomes stained again, then vanishes. Asuka awakens near a pond deep in the forest, where she had gone to meditate as part of her training. She remembers the shadow&#039;s promise and considers asking Mitama what it all meant, but feels her father&#039;s words have been engraved in her more deeply now. With her resolve unwavering, she runs back to the dojo, taking a straight path out of the woods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka awakens to find herself in a strange, cloud-filled void. A shadowy copy of herself appears, introducing itself as the part of her she has suppressed deep within her heart. The shadow urges Nanaka to end her pursuit of vengeance, calling it a fruitless endeavor that changes nothing. Nanaka refuses, explaining that the act of revenge itself holds meaning for her, not the result. The shadow questions where vengeance has led her: a life of constant danger in an endless struggle against Witches. Nanaka admits there is nothing to gain from her actions, but her conviction remains unshakable. The shadow then accuses Nanaka of dragging Akira, Kako, and Meiyui into her vengeance, using them to fulfill her goals. Nanaka acknowledges this truth but insists she would never throw their lives away. She believes fate brought them together to fight a common enemy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka recalls the moments before she lost consciousness. Her team had cornered a Witch, but it disappeared and reappeared near a weakened Kako. Nanaka leaped in to shield her, and Akira and Meiyui joined the fight. The shadow suggests Nanaka protected Kako to redeem herself, but Nanaka denies this. The shadow warns it will continue watching from the depths of her heart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka awakens to find her teammates standing over her, relieved she is alive. The Witch is defeated. Nanaka tells Kako not to worry about anything, as they are teammates. Meiyui finds her choice of words unusual, but Akira insists Nanaka see Mitama for a checkup. Kako thanks Nanaka for protecting her. Nanaka smiles, thinking to herself that each of them is their own flower, supporting one another through their shared fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis====&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha announces that a cafe Yachiyo frequents has opened a new location near Mikazuki Villa, and the group decides to visit on opening day. They arrive to find it is actually a Curry House CoCo Ichibanya, and Yachiyo passionately explains the menu options as they wait for the store to open.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the store opens early, the employee announces they cannot open today due to a missing delivery truck carrying ingredients. The employee breaks down in tears, explaining her family came to see her first store opening. The group notices magical energy emanating from the store and decides to help find the truck, promising to return for curry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They investigate at the last store the truck visited. The employee there confirms the truck is missing but provides spare ingredients and explains that stores support each other in times of trouble. The group splits into two teams: one to gather ingredients from other stores, and one to trace the truck&#039;s route. During coordination, they learn a second CoCoIchi truck has also gone missing on the same road.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While gathering ingredients, Tsuruno&#039;s group encounters a lost, hungry girl who flees upon hearing CoCoIchi and nearly crashes into Sana. Afterward, Sana realizes the employee at the new store could see her despite her invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s group follows the road where both trucks disappeared and finds a Witch&#039;s barrier. Inside, they find both trucks and their drivers. Iroha and Ui engage the Witch&#039;s familiars while Yachiyo secures the drivers. Iroha realizes the Witch is targeting the cargo, so she throws curry ingredients at it, causing the Witch to abandon the fight and allowing them to defeat it easily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno calls with urgent news that the store employee is a Magical Girl, her missing little sister is also a Magical Girl, and she has not been able to contact her since yesterday. The group fears the curry-loving Witch they just defeated was the sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the new store, where the employee is preparing their reward curry. Before Iroha can confess, a girl rushes in calling for her sister. It is the employee&#039;s little sister, alive and well. The group realizes the Witch was simply a curry-loving Witch unrelated to the sister. They finally sit down to enjoy the promised curry together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui====&lt;br /&gt;
* Meiyui&#039;s family is helping organize a local event when a stranger stabs one of their members and flees, dropping a badge. Meiyui chooses to tend to the victim rather than give chase, despite his protests that she is being too soft.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many in the organization want revenge, but Meiyui refuses, not wanting to return to their old ways as an evil organization. The members are reluctant to involve the police due to being falsely accused of murder three years prior. Meiyui had contracted with Kyubey back then to expose the truth with her wish, but lingering distrust remains.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui goes alone to track the culprit. The dropped badge leads her to an abandoned company tied to illegal labor her family had helped shut down. After defeating a stray Witch, she is ambushed and kidnapped by a man with a taser.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She wakes handcuffed alongside about ten others. The kidnappers reveal the badge was a trap to lure her. They include a former police officer who had fabricated evidence against her family and associates of the real murderer from that case, all blaming the Blue Seas for ruining their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her Soul Gem is heavily tainted from the Witch fight, and she begins hearing her Doppel&#039;s voice. In a cloudy void, her shadow self insists she should have killed these enemies when she had the chance, arguing her organization cannot survive without dirtying their hands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Meiyui struggles to stay conscious, she uses her last energy to beg the culprits to leave her family alone, insisting they are not a bad group. The stabber dismisses her pleas and suggests killing her as a warning instead. Her Doppel mocks her, saying evil people will always exist no matter how sincerely she tries to live righteously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, her organization members arrive to rescue her. The stabbed victim is among them, now grateful Meiyui had stayed to help him instead of chasing revenge. He admits he used to believe abandoning burdens was the way of the world, but facing death alone showed him he was wrong. He is alive because of Meiyui&#039;s strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hearing this, Meiyui&#039;s mind clears. In the void, her Doppel asks if she is ready to kill them, but Meiyui rejects violence entirely. The Doppel submits, allowing her to put everyone in the area to sleep without bloodshed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The police soon arrive after the kidnapper, persuaded by Meiyui, confesses over the phone. They find several family members asleep everywhere and note a look of complete relief on Meiyui&#039;s sleeping face.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Little Bird&#039;s Star====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe and other Black Feathers are in Fendt Hope, commiserating about their weakness. A White Feather had to bail them out after they were followed by a Witch while delivering a parcel from Mitama&#039;s shop. They discuss Yachiyo Nanami, a veteran Magical Girl who destroys Uwasas.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu and Nemu emerge from a room arguing. Nemu dismisses Mifuyu and approaches the Black Feathers with a request. She asks them to investigate the &amp;quot;Uwasa of the Jealous Coward,&amp;quot; also called the &amp;quot;Green-Eyed Coward.&amp;quot; Kuroe hesitates but agrees when Nemu insists she has the aptitude.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group investigates an area with many students but cannot find the Uwasa. The other Black Feathers leave for personal commitments. Kuroe stays, feeling she has nothing to return to. The Uwasa manifests when Kuroe expresses envy toward the other girls&#039; normal lives. Two Black Feathers are knocked unconscious. Nemu is satisfied with the results and tasks Kuroe with investigating more Uwasas starting tomorrow. Kuroe protests but Nemu leaves before she can refuse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1744.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1743.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The Amane twins, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo, meet Kuroe at Fendt Hope and they begin investigating Uwasas in Sakae Ward but find nothing. They move to Hokuyo Ward. Kuroe notices a missing cat poster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They sense Yachiyo&#039;s group nearby and flee. Yachiyo and Iroha corner Kuroe. The twins escape. Yachiyo interrogates Kuroe. An Uwasa resembling Kuroe appears and attacks, then disappears. Yachiyo accuses Kuroe of controlling it. Kuroe insists she had no knowledge of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo decides to take Kuroe camping to monitor her. At the campground, the Amane twins briefly contact Kuroe and say they will consult Nemu, so Kuroe resolves to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe helps Iroha gather firewood. Iroha is scared by a caterpillar and Kuroe removes it. Kuroe introduces herself by name. She helps the group set up their tent and prepare lunch, using skills learned from Wings of Magius training. She reminds herself not to get drawn into their warm atmosphere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mentions a waterfall power spot. Kuroe offers to get water. Iroha accompanies her. They get lost. A woman helps Kuroe find the waterfall and gives her an empty bottle. The woman explains the place is her personal power spot for resetting her mind. Kuroe wishes she had strength to face the future. The Uwasa appears and attacks the woman. Iroha arrives and finds the woman unconscious. Kuroe begs Iroha for help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe carries the unconscious woman back to the campsite. The Amane twins inform her that Nemu says she is possessed by the Uwasa and should stay with Yachiyo&#039;s group. Yachiyo warns that if more casualties occur, she will destroy the Uwasa. Iroha suggests keeping Kuroe for observation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group participates in a stamp rally and Iroha and Kuroe pair up. They discover they are both from Takarazaki. Iroha explains she moved to Kamihama to find her missing sister. Suddenly, a Witch appears and Kuroe and Iroha fight it together. Kuroe acts as a decoy while Iroha defeats the Witch. Kuroe feels inadequate compared to Iroha&#039;s courage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe asks for time alone and she reflects on her fears and envy. The Uwasa appears again, resembling Kuroe. The group fights it and Iroha urges Kuroe to destroy the Uwasa. Kuroe admits she is afraid she cannot be herself, so she and Iroha destroy the Uwasa together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amane twins inform Kuroe they must report the Uwasa&#039;s destruction, yet Kuroe does not regret it. Iroha asks to talk with Kuroe and Yachiyo offers them tea. Kuroe admits she feels safe with the Wings of Magius because they represent hope for her. Iroha accepts this and Kuroe tells Iroha she wants to be like her someday. They part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe finds the missing cat and returns it to its owner, who is overjoyed. Kuroe realizes she saved someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe reports to Nemu and Mifuyu. Nemu reveals the Uwasa summons itself based on dissatisfaction and envy. Nemu admits she expected Yachiyo&#039;s group to handle an accident with the Uwasa. However, Nemu is satisfied that she now has more research on fusing Uwasa with Magical Girls, however Mifuyu warns Nemu not to experiment on the Feathers. Kuroe realizes that even the Magius are imperfect and she reflects on her long day. She resolves to do her best, one step at a time, and hopes to see Iroha again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 7th==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia and Sana decide to buy matching coasters as a gift for Yachiyo, to show their appreciation, and after some searching, they find a suitable set.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: Memories That Reveal the Truth]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 8th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the plan to present the gift is interrupted when Mifuyu Azusa arrives at the villa before Yachiyo returns home. The girls&#039; plan was for Iroha to wait inside while the others came from outside to surprise Yachiyo. Mifuyu prepares tea and reveals one of the two mugs on the top shelf, which Yachiyo forbade Iroha from using, belongs to her. Mifuyu invites Iroha to a lecture hosted by the Wings of the Magius to explain their goal of &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls. The lecture is scheduled for two days later at the Memory Museum and Iroha agrees to investigate the Rumor about the museum first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo returns home and is visibly distressed to find Mifuyu there. Mifuyu leaves, asking Iroha to inform the others about the lecture. Before finally leaving, Mifuyu returns to speak to Yachiyo privately. She references a &amp;quot;promise&amp;quot; they made a year ago, and accuses Yachiyo of returning to her old ways. Yachiyo insists her relationship with Iroha and the others is &amp;quot;just cooperating.&amp;quot; Yachiyo retreats to her room without receiving the coasters. That night, Yachiyo reflects on her past, resolving to return to the person she once was.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 9th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the lecture, Iroha is unable to give Yachiyo the coasters due to Yachiyo&#039;s low spirits. Iroha discusses her plan to attend the Wings of the Magius lecture with Madoka Kaname via text. Iroha then attempts to investigate the Rumor of the Memory Museum. Yachiyo claims no knowledge of it and leaves for school. Iroha and Momoko ask Mitama, who refuses to share information to maintain her neutrality. After the visit, Mitama has a separate conversation with Momoko about Momoko&#039;s own secret, advising her to tell her friends the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede and Rena help Iroha by summoning the creature that recites the Rumor of the Memory Museum, which allows people to view researched memories. Tsuruno&#039;s father provides the location of the similar-sounding &amp;quot;Kamihama Memorial Museum.&amp;quot; That evening, Yachiyo refuses to join the investigation, reiterating that her relationship with the others is strictly professional, which saddens Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Saturday, the 10th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the lecture, Yachiyo again refuses to go to the museum and Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana go to the Kamihama Memorial Museum without her. There, they are greeted by Touka Satomi, who reveals herself as one of the three Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently at Mikazuki, Yachiyo, haunted by memories of past friends, decides she must investigate the Memory Museum herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Touka throne 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka Satomi gives them a lecture titled &amp;quot;The Truth Behind Magical Girls.&amp;quot; She presents three key items through illustrative stories:&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 1: Soul Gems. A story reveals that a Soul Gem is a Magical Girl&#039;s actual soul. Using magic consumes this life force, and if the gem shatters, the Magical Girl dies. Touka uses an analogy of an internal vs. external battery to explain Soul Gems and Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 2: Witches. A second story demonstrates that when a Magical Girl&#039;s Soul Gem becomes fully corrupted, she transforms into a Witch. This revelation traumatizes Felicia, who realizes the Witches she has been killing were once Magical Girls and that she herself is destined to become one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 3: Doppels. A third story explains that in Kamihama City, a fully corrupted Soul Gem can manifest a &amp;quot;Doppel&amp;quot; instead of a Witch. The Wings of the Magius present this as the key to &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls from their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* To prove their claims, Touka and Mifuyu Azusa activate the Memory Museum&#039;s Rumor. Mifuyu presents a book containing her own memories, inviting the group to witness the truth of the lecture firsthand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo arrives at the museum and confronts Touka. She is shown into the memory dimension where Iroha and the others are and Mifuyu activates the Rumor, forcing the group to relive her memories. The memories depict Yachiyo&#039;s former team, Mikazuki Villa:&lt;br /&gt;
** The first memory shows Kanae Yukino sacrificing herself to reveal a Witch&#039;s weakness. Her uninjured body is found next to her shattered Soul Gem, proving the Soul Gem is the Magical Girl&#039;s life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second memory shows Mel Anna using too much magic to protect Yachiyo. With no Grief Seed to purify her fully corrupted Soul Gem, Mel transforms into a Witch before the team&#039;s eyes, confirming Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The third memory shows Mifuyu&#039;s despair six months after Mel&#039;s death, causing her Soul Gem to corrupt fully. Instead of becoming a Witch, she manifests a Doppel. Touka then appears and recruits her into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno is consumed by guilt over Mel&#039;s death, believing her absence that day was the cause. Felicia is horrified, realizing the Witches she killed were Magical Girls and Sana is terrified but feels powerless to change the system. Touka and Mifuyu use this emotional vulnerability to press their recruitment offers to each girl, promising a world where these tragedies are impossible and even suggesting Sana could be freed from her wish of invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo reject the offer to join and Yachiyo compares the Magius&#039; methods to Kyubey&#039;s, accusing them of exploiting weaknesses. Yachiyo then announces she is disbanding their team, which Iroha protests, but Yachiyo insists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka reveals that Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana have been brainwashed and now serve the Wings of the Magius. Alina Gray arrives and traps Iroha and Yachiyo within her Labyrinth and leaves them to face a Witch. As they fight the Witch, Yachiyo reiterates her decision to disband the team and work alone. She reveals her wish was &amp;quot;I want to survive,&amp;quot; and explains that she interprets this as a curse: the power to survive by sacrificing her teammates, based on the last words of her former comrades, Kanae and Mel, who both died while she lived. Yachiyo believes that to protect Iroha, she must sever their partnership.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha rejects Yachiyo&#039;s conclusion. She declares she will defeat the Uwasa alone to prove Yachiyo&#039;s &amp;quot;curse&amp;quot; is not real and that she can protect Yachiyo. Iroha states she is angry that Yachiyo made this decision for everyone and vows to rescue their brainwashed friends. She defeats the Witch and rejects Yachiyo&#039;s belief in a cursed wish and declares herself the new leader to nullify its perceived effect. Yachiyo relents and agrees to work with Iroha to save their friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the same time, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, having detected Mami&#039;s magic while investigating Kamihama, investigate the closed Kamihama Recording Museum. They are attacked by the Wings of the Magius. While Madoka and Homura hold them off, Sayaka proceeds and witnesses Mami, transformed into &amp;quot;Holy Mami,&amp;quot; attacking Iroha and Yachiyo. It is here that Sayaka learns the horrific truth that Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: A Stand-Off With Fate]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, now a brainwashed member of the Wings of the Magius, confronts them. As Iroha and Yachiyo are too injured to fight, Sayaka Miki arrives and intervenes. Sayaka uses a bomb from Homura to create a diversion, allowing the three to escape.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After their escape, Sayaka gives Iroha a Grief Seed. Iroha explains the truth about Witches and the Wings of the Magius to Sayaka, who is horrified. Sayaka leaves to process this information and Iroha and Yachiyo walk home in silence to reflect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After fleeing the museum, Sayaka reunites with Madoka and Homura, defeats their pursuers in a distraught state, and explains what happened to Mami to them, as well as the truth about becoming Witches.The group returns to Mitakihara in silence but Madoka resolves to find a way to avoid their fate and to save Mami. Sayaka agrees to fight back as well and later decides to meet with Kyoko Sakura.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, at Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo reaffirm their commitment to save their friends and Momoko arrives, having told the secret of Magical Girls to Rena and Kaede. Yachiyo also apologizes for her actions and explains her fears about her wish. Momoko forgives her and reaffirms their friendship. Iroha then receives a text from Madoka, who promises to come to Kamihama to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Sayaka meets Kyoko and reveals the truth about Witches. Kyoko deduces this is what the Wings of the Magius meant by &amp;quot;saving&amp;quot; Magical Girls. Kyoko declares she will find a way to avoid becoming a Witch and confront the Wings of the Magius alone, rejecting Sayaka&#039;s offer of help. Despite Sayaka&#039;s protests, Kyoko leaves to operate solo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Likely during this time, Yachiyo pulls out a box containing what her former friends Kanae Yukino and Mel Anna left behind. She has never opened it since filling it and spends the entire day staring at it, unable to lift the lid. When Iroha arrives and asks about it, Yachiyo explains and admits she is trying to work through her feelings. Iroha offers to help, but Yachiyo deflects, reminding her they were supposed to visit Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls visit Mitama Yakumo and present Grief Seeds as payment for adjustment. Mitama is surprised by the offering and promises to do her best, but she expresses concern about Yachiyo&#039;s emotional state. She suggests Yachiyo clear up her issues with the box before moving forward and offers to adjust both girls at once as a special exception.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Mitama works on her, Yachiyo finds herself in a gray room confronted by a shadowy doppelganger. The shadow accuses her of being afraid of the future and clinging to the past. When Yachiyo refuses to give in to despair, the shadow transforms into her doppel, but she stands firm, accepting her fear while choosing to move forward. Iroha appears beside her, and together they bid farewell to visions of Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo awakens and realizes Mitama adjusted them together intentionally, trusting Iroha could help her if needed. She thanks Mitama for looking out for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at her house, Yachiyo finally opens the box with Iroha beside her. Inside, Kanae left a book of lyrics about becoming a circle with others, and Mel left fortune telling impressions predicting a future where many magical girls would gather in Kamihama. Yachiyo cries as she reads their words. Iroha suggests they head toward that gentle future together. Yachiyo agrees but says first they need to get back their own three points: Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha resolves to find her lost friends and mentally tells Ui to wait a bit longer. Iroha and Yachiyo finish cleaning their house. Iroha resolves to give the coasters she and the others bought for Yachiyo when everyone is reunited. Iroha says she sent a message to Madoka in Mitakihara City, but hasn&#039;t gotten a response.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 7: Awakening to Paradise]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Immediately after Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana are taken, Mifuyu reports to Touka and Alina that the brainwashing on the three is holding, so Touka selects Tsuruno for a mission, which Alina states will involve &amp;quot;mass murder.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in her room, Iroha thinks back to when she celebrated Christmas with her friends, but resolves to keep going with her mission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sunday, the 11th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo investigate the Kamihama Rumor Files at Mikazuki Villa. Iroha recognizes some of the Rumors. They meet with Momoko, who mentions Tsuruno&#039;s perfect school attendance record is now broken and that a new amusement park is also opening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo visit Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant and her father reveals Tsuruno and Felicia visited once. Tsuruno told him she found a place where she feels safe and would not return and he notes her expression was blank, similar to how she looked a year ago after Mel&#039;s death. Afterwards, a White Feather ambushes Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will be used for a mission like Tsuruno, and the two fight off the attacker.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Monday, the 12th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo devise a plan to destroy Rumors across Kamihama to lure out the Wings of the Magius and locate their base. They share this plan with Momoko, who offers to help by getting Grief Seeds for them while they hunt. Momoko then goes to check on Kaede, who is hiding in her room. She hugs Kaede and tells her she and Rena will always be there to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo systematically hunt Rumors like the &amp;quot;Historical Battle Marker,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Castle Town Illusion,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Headless Biker Gang,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Puzzle Tiles Lock,&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;Fashion Monster.&amp;quot; They also interrogate captured Feathers, but none reveal information about Tsuruno, Felicia, or Sana&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Momoko investigates a rapidly spreading rumor about a new amusement park. She notes it originated in the east and spread west through Sakae, Mizuna, and Shinsei Wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha and Yachiyo analyze the Kamihama Rumor Files, marking all known Rumor locations on a map. They identify a pattern: Rumors cluster more densely in Shinsei Ward, with a notable concentration around Satomi Medical Center, the hospital where Ui was supposedly treated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They travel to the hospital area and are ambushed by Feathers. Felicia and Sana, who had broken free of the brainwashing, arrive and help fight off the attackers. The four Magical Girls reunite and Felicia and Sana reveal they pretended to be brainwashed to gather information. Momoko confirms the amusement park rumor spread from east to west and will open at dawn in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Sana explain to Yachiyo and Iroha that Mifuyu used her illusion magic to break their brainwashing. Mifuyu revealed the Magius are protecting and strengthening Witches for their liberation plan and are planning to use the brainwashed Magical Girls to cross a dangerous line. Mifuyu attempted to free Tsuruno but failed, as Tsuruno&#039;s reason for being brainwashed was different. Mifuyu then helped Felicia and Sana escape but chose to remain behind, stating they would be enemies next time they meet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko arrives and shares her investigation into a new Rumor about an amusement park opening at dawn in two days. She confirms it spread from the east, and the group overlays the Rumor locations on a map and identifies a pattern suggesting a source or &amp;quot;eye of the storm&amp;quot; in the eastern wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kanagi screenshot.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo decides to contact Kanagi Izumi, the powerful Magical Girl who controls the eastern Daito and Kosho Wards and is a former rival of hers. Kanagi agrees to an alliance, and during their call, Tsukasa of the Wings of the Magius arrives at Kanagi&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tuesday, the 13th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The morning, Felicia and Sana try to accompany Iroha and Yachiyo but are told to rest due to their collapse the previous night. Iroha and Yachiyo leave them behind. Meanwhile in Kosho Ward, Iroha, Yachiyo, Momoko, and Kanagi meet and Kanagi agrees to ally with them against the Wings of the Magius. They combine their Rumor data on a map, which reveals a circular pattern with a vacant center in Kosho Ward and Kanagi identifies the old railway yard as the likely location of the Wings&#039; base.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After learning the truth about Witches, Madoka questions Kyubey about a way to avoid becoming a Witch. Kyubey states he knows of no method and reveals he cannot enter Kamihama City himself. He proposes an alliance to investigate the Wings of the Magius but Madoka refuses to promise cooperation. She resolves to return to Kamihama with her friends, but then a Witch from Kamihama appears in Mitakihara.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 7: Eve of the Awakening]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Around this time, Kyoko successfully infiltrates the Wings of the Magius. She is assigned to a team tasked with dealing with a group that erases Rumors, which she suspects is Iroha&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s group travels to the railway yard but finds it empty. They are ambushed by Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who summon Witches and during the battle, Kanagi uses her unique power to read Iroha&#039;s true intentions and confirms her sincerity. Kanagi then joins the fight and helps defeat the Amane sisters and their Black Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi uses her power on the defeated Amane sisters to read their minds and she learns that Tsuruno is still completely brainwashed and has become part of an Uwasa to protect it. She also learns Tsuruno&#039;s location is at the Ferris Wheel Field in Daito Ward and the group prepares to move out immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The team arrives in Daito Ward, where Yachiyo and Iroha plan to enter the &amp;quot;amusement park&amp;quot; Rumor to save Tsuruno, while Felicia, Sana, Momoko, and Kanagi hold off the Wings of the Magius. The group locates the Rumor&#039;s entrance and Kanagi and Momoko stay behind to fight the Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo proceed and confront Alina, Touka, and Mifuyu, where Alina declares her intent to erase them. During the battle, Mifuyu secretly tells Yachiyo that destroying the main Uwasa will kill Tsuruno, and that they must instead tear the Uwasa from her by connecting with her heart. Mifuyu also reveals Tsuruno is in a Ferris wheel car.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101705 uwasatsuruno.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo enter the Rumor, &amp;quot;Chelation Land,&amp;quot; which induces a hazy, thoughtless state. They find Tsuruno, who has fully merged with the Uwasa and acts as the park&#039;s host. Tsuruno tries to force them to relax and stay, serving them hotpot in mugs reminiscent of Mikazuki Villa, but they refuse and attempt to reason with Tsuruno, and she attacks them. Following Mifuyu&#039;s advice, they combine their magic to tear the Uwasa from Tsuruno in one powerful strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nemu02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After Tsuruno is freed from the Uwasa, Yachiyo realizes that Tsuruno&#039;s cheerful demeanor was a facade to hide her pain and guilt over past events, including the death of Mel. The team defeats the main Uwasa of Chelation Land and the Magius, Touka, Nemu Hiiragi, and Alina, confront the group. Nemu reveals she is the &amp;quot;Creator&amp;quot; of all the Rumors in Kamihama and the Magius explain their goal: to use the energy generated by Rumors and Witches to hatch &amp;quot;Embryo Eve,&amp;quot; a being that will liberate all Magical Girls worldwide from the fate of becoming Witches. They state the phenomenon requires the presence of all three Magius and a massive energy source, for which they have used the people of Kamihama and the teams part ways in opposition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 14th==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101701 coaster02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, at Mikazuki Villa, the team summarizes the Magius&#039; plan and that Kamihama is an incubator for Embryo Eve. They resolve to stop the Magius due to the plan&#039;s high human cost and the group gives Yachiyo the set of sakura blossom-themed coasters as a symbol of their team unity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka are separately attacked by multiple Kamihama Witches in Mitakihara before reuniting. They realize the Witch incursion is a coordinated attack meant to prevent them from leaving Mitakihara. Their magic and Grief Seed reserves are heavily depleted in the constant battles.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the ongoing Witch attacks, the trio is overwhelmed by a powerful Witch and is forced to retreat. Sayaka breaks down, admitting her terror of becoming a Witch and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka share their fears and resolve to face the threat together. They are observed by Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, who imply the attack is part of their plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Later that day, the three defeat the Feathers sent to observe them, and after interrogating them, they receive a message from Iroha about how to save Mami. Holy Mami arrives to Mitakihara and reveals she brought the Witches to Mitakihara to keep the three of them &amp;quot;safe,&amp;quot; and insists the Magius will save them. Alina Gray also appears and traps Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka in a Barrier, which Mami seals with her ribbons.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her infiltration, Kyoko is taken to Hotel Fenthope by Mifuyu Azusa. She confronts Holy Mami, accusing her of not being the real Mami Tomoe. Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi arrive and reinforce the Rumor brainwashing on Mami. Mifuyu secretly escorts Kyoko away and reveals the Magius&#039; plans: they are using a mysterious entity called &amp;quot;Eve&amp;quot; to liberate Magical Girls and are deliberately bringing Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama to hatch it. Horrified, Kyoko rejects the Magius and is led out of the city by Mifuyu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Once More From Here]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko arrives in Mitakihara and frees Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka from Alina&#039;s Barrier. She explains the Magius&#039; plan to bring Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama and Homura urges the group to stay in Mitakihara for safety. Kyoko departs alone, later resolving to return and crush the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Iroha has a sudden memory flashback to the hospital, triggered by the word &amp;quot;sakura.&amp;quot; She remembers a story she, Ui, Touka, and Nemu created about the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot; She deduces this Rumor is real and located at the hospital, and that all the Rumors were created there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Touka and Nemu observe that Embryo Eve has reached a critical state and they confirm that a legendary, cross-dimensional event they foresaw: the arrival of Walpurgisnacht, will provide the final, massive energy surge needed to hatch Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo calls a meeting with the Mikazuki Villa household, Tsuruno, and the Momoko trio to share her concern that rumors persist even after they defeat the Uwasa themselves. The group splits up to investigate whether the original Uwasa have truly vanished or transformed into something new.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Hereafter]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko, Kaede, and Rena investigate the Breakup Staircase and find only scattered internet gossip remains. During their search, lingering tensions surface over Rena&#039;s painful memories of when Kaede was kidnapped by that Uwasa, but the trio ultimately reconciles and continues working together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno visit Mizuna Shrine, where the Séance Shrine Uwasa has transformed into a popular spot for relationship prayers with new mascots. They encounter a grieving girl who comes daily to pray for her deceased friend, and Yachiyo is reminded of her own departed companions Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Felicia track down the man behind the revived Misery Water rumor, who confesses he was scammed into buying the water and cannot bring himself to deceive others. Felicia helps him find honest work, and the rumors die out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana investigates an online forum where troubled users make veiled threats, but the rumor fades without incident. Tsuruno and Iroha check Chelation Land, where Tsuruno reflects on her past brainwashing and muses about whether some Uwasa exist independently of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The groups reconvene and report that all investigated rumors have left minimal traces. Yachiyo concludes their investigation of the Uwasa is complete, and only the Wings of Magius themselves remain to be confronted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voices from Beyond, Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the afterlife, Mel Anna meets Kanae Yukino, another Magical Girl ghost who also died fighting a Witch. Mel is thrilled to discover they were both on a team with Yachiyo Nanami and calls Kanae her senpai. Kanae takes Mel to a ghost cafe where deceased Magical Girls gather, explaining they cannot interact with the living world except through psychics.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Voices From Beyond]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they wander Kamihama, Mel notices Witch numbers rising dramatically and worries about Yachiyo. They follow Yachiyo and are relieved to find she has new companions in Iroha Tamaki and others, though they remain concerned about their former teammate Mifuyu&#039;s absence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, they watch helplessly as Yachiyo battles the Wings of Magius and eventually enters the Memory Museum, where she relives the trauma of losing Mel and Kanae. When Yachiyo dissolves her team afterward, convinced her magic causes others to die for her, the ghosts desperately try to reach her. Kanae notices Yachiyo kept their mementos: Mel&#039;s fortune log and Kanae&#039;s notebook. They focus their thoughts on these items, and that night, Yachiyo discovers their messages—Kanae&#039;s lyrics about forming a circle and Mel&#039;s fortune predicting the current events. Grateful, she resolves to move forward. Their successful contact gets their ghost licenses suspended, and they watch Yachiyo&#039;s dream of their encounter before fading.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 15th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius initiate a city-wide offensive, unleashing powerful Witches and sending brainwashed Black and White Feathers to indiscriminately attack other Magical Girls. Mami delivers a declaration of war to Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will no longer delay their plan for &amp;quot;freedom.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Kamihama, Painted in Fiction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magical Girls of Kamihama form a coordinated response and Yachiyo&#039;s team devises a strategy: first, eliminate the unleashed Witches; second, protect other Magical Girls and direct them to Mitama&#039;s shop as a safe haven; third, deal with the rampaging Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, recalling the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; in Hokuyo Ward, theorizes it could be the location of the Magius&#039; hidden base. Yachiyo approves Iroha and Sana to investigate this lead separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next several hours, the teams execute the plan. Yachiyo rescues Ren from a Black Feather and escorts her to Mitama&#039;s shop. Kaede Afinds Konomi protecting an injured Kako; together they defeat a Witch and get Kako to safety. Rena aids Asuka and Sasara, later teaming with Ria and Manaka to defeat a Witch. Momoko and Aimi rescue Kokoro and Masara from Feathers. Tsuruno works with Hinano to eliminate a Witch and warns her about the Feathers. Felicia fights alongside Akira and Nanaka&#039;s group, eventually reuniting with Tsuruno. Kanagi protects Himika from Feathers and sends her to Mitama&#039;s. Yachiyo and Kanagi also rescue Riko and Ayaka from Feather attacks and track the enemy to a heliport. Yachiyo, Kanagi, Momoko&#039;s team, and Tsuruno&#039;s team successfully clear the city of the powerful Witches and they rescue and guide numerous Magical Girls to Mitama&#039;s shop. Momoko confronts Mitama, challenging her to abandon her neutral stance and Mitama agrees to allow her shop to be used as a headquarters and to share her knowledge about the Magius&#039; plans.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama reveals the truth that Magical Girls are destined to become Witches, and that the Magius aim to use the energy from Embryo Eve to spread the Doppel phenomenon worldwide, preventing this fate. However, their methods involve sacrificing the citizens of Kamihama and other Magical Girls to gather this energy, so the Magical Girls at the shelter decide to join the fight against the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, in Chuo Ward, Yachiyo and Kanagi are ambushed by Mami and a horde of brainwashed Feathers at the Kamihama Central Tower heliport. The battle is difficult due to the Feathers&#039; numbers and Mami&#039;s enhanced power from the Uwasa. Kanagi reads Mami&#039;s mind and finds her personality has been completely overwritten by the Uwasa&#039;s influence, leaving only her devotion to the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia then arrive as reinforcements and during the fight, a Black Feather loses her &amp;quot;Receiver Pendant.&amp;quot; Kanagi reads this Feather&#039;s mind, uncovering that the Feathers&#039; berserk state is caused by the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Receiver Pendant,&amp;quot; which numbs their emotions and forces them to obey the Magius&#039; orders. The memory also reveals the three Magius orchestrating the attack to harvest emotional energy from the chaos, believing it will bring their utopia closer. The Feather who lost her pendant then begins to regain her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team battles the brainwashed Mami and the Wings of the Magius. With the help of Momoko&#039;s team and Kanagi&#039;s ability to read the enemy&#039;s weakness, they remove the Uwasa from Mami, freeing her from its control. Mami collapses from exhaustion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Homura pleads with Madoka and Sayaka not to go to Kamihama, fearing for their lives against Walpurgisnacht. After initial hesitation, Madoka and Sayaka resolve to go and Homura agrees to accompany them. The trio leaves for Kamihama but cannot contact Iroha Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Upon arriving in Kamihama, the three are attacked by brainwashed Black Feathers in Sakae Ward, but the Feathers suddenly regain their senses and flee. The trio pursues them into Central Ward and meets Kanoko Yayoi, Karin Misono, and Natsuki Utsuho. They learn that other Magical Girls are gathering at Mitama Yakumo&#039;s office and Karin reveals she saw Nanaka Tokiwa carrying an unconscious Mami there. The group goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds Mami, who has been freed from the Magius&#039; control and awakens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius then execute their plan: they cause a city-wide blackout and seize control of Kamihama&#039;s radio waves and power grid. They use Nemu&#039;s power to project a false utopia over the city, attracting Witches, and Touka&#039;s power to send a signal that summons the legendary Witch, Walpurgisnacht. Their goal is to use the chaos and emotional energy to hatch &amp;quot;Eve.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana infiltrate the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; Labyrinth, initially having their presence hidden due to Sana&#039;s unique magic. There, Iroha confronts Touka and Nemu, using the Uwasa itself as proof that her memories of their shared past with Ui are real. Despite this, Touka and Nemu don&#039;t believe her and refuse to halt their plans. Alina arrives, captures Iroha, and takes her to their main base, Hotel Fendt Hope. Afterwards, Sana escapes and informs Yachiyo&#039;s arriving team of Iroha&#039;s capture.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Mitama reveals she previously supplied the Wings with Grief Seeds in exchange for neutrality but has now chosen to side with Yachiyo&#039;s team against them. Mami herself awakens, now having reconciled with her inner turmoil. Now, Yachiyo&#039;s team, reinforced by Momoko&#039;s team and Mami, prepares to assault Hotel Fendt Hope to rescue Iroha and stop the Magius before Walpurgisnacht arrives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, freed from the Uwasa&#039;s influence, resolves to expose the Magius&#039; true plans to the Feathers and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka decide to support her instead of joining Iroha&#039;s group. Nanaka and her team escort them to the heliport and during the journey, Mami explains to Nanaka that the Feathers&#039; loyalty was placed not in the Magius themselves, but in Mifuyu Azusa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 9: Take My Hand]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the heliport, Mami arrives where the exhausted Feathers and Kamihama Magical Girls are at a stalemate. She reveals the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice hundreds of civilians, including the Feathers&#039; own friends and family, to Walpurgisnacht. She also details their previous use of the Chelation Land Rumor for a similar purpose and the Feathers are shocked and dismayed. Some even accuse Mami of hypocrisy, which she does not deny.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Feathers split into two factions: one that still desires liberation at any cost and another that vows to protect Kamihama. A fight breaks out between them and Madoka and the others defend Mami, declaring their unwavering friendship. Moved, Mami asks the Feathers if they have anyone they trust unconditionally, as she now does, and the Feathers state they trust Mifuyu and demand to hear the truth from her directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami entrusts the Feathers to Nanaka&#039;s team, while she, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka then proceed to Hotel Fendthope to aid Iroha. On the way, Mami thanks her friends and asks them to rely on her as an equal ally and friend, not as a veteran. They arrive at the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Mitama is guarding the entrance. She confirms she is aware of Mami&#039;s past struggles and allows the group to pass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 16th==&lt;br /&gt;
* At Hotel Fendt Hope, Sana infiltrates the hotel to find Iroha and she overhears Feathers discussing Iroha&#039;s location and heads there. Iroha is held in a cell and, with her Soul Gem confiscated, she reflects on her memories of Ui, Touka, and Nemu and resolves to stop the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their plans and Alina demands Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem and body be brought to her. A weather report at the same time indicates the approach of Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana locates Iroha&#039;s cell, and she breaks Iroha out, but the act of breaking the cell door triggers an Uwasa, as the entire building is part of a Rumor. Sana defeats the Uwasa and as they flee, they are ambushed by Black Feathers. Kyoko Sakura, who was undergoing an orientation with the Feathers but decided against joining them, intervenes and helps defeat the attackers as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha explains the Magius&#039; goal is to summon Walpurgisnacht, and Kyoko reveals the Magius also plan to use Iroha, Mifuyu, and the Amane sisters as nourishment for &amp;quot;Eve,&amp;quot; the core of the system. Suddenly, Iroha collapses and stops breathing due to the distance from her Soul Gem. A Black Feather who pretended to be unconscious seizes Iroha&#039;s body and escapes with it, and Sana and Kyoko give chase.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team enters the Hotel Fendt Hope through the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth and they split into two teams: Yachiyo&#039;s group heads to the top floor to rescue Mifuyu and the Amane sisters, while Momoko&#039;s group searches for Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team finds Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa unconscious, their bodies separated from their Soul Gems. They quickly recover the Soul Gems, reviving the three, and Mifuyu confirms the Magius summoned Walpurgisnacht to provide energy to hatch Eve. Mifuyu and the Amane sisters renounce the Magius and join Yachiyo&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Iroha is transported by a Black Feather who reveals her motivation: her younger sister turned into a Witch, and she supports the Magius to prevent others from suffering the same fate. Momoko&#039;s team intercepts them and rescues Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko and Sana fight their way through the hotel and reunite with the main group. Momoko&#039;s team recovers a bag containing Iroha&#039;s, Mifuyu&#039;s, and the Amane sisters&#039; Soul Gems. A group of Feathers from the East confronts them but is persuaded by Kanagi to stand down, and they retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the teams reunited, the full coalition of Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, Kanagi, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Kyoko regroups. They possess all the stolen Soul Gems and are united in their goal to stop the Magius and confront Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team&#039;s path to the underground chapel is blocked and Mifuyu determines the magical building, a Rumor crafted by Nemu Hiiragi, has been reconfigured. Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa attempt to break the blockade, but a powerful magical wind erupts, separating the group. Mifuyu, the Amane sisters, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, and Kyoko are blown outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, Sana, Felicia, Tsuruno, and Kanagi remain inside and they defeat an Uwasa that attacks them. Mifuyu communicates from outside that they are locked out, and she devises a new plan: her group will gather other Kamihama Magical Girls to attack and destroy the Uwasa of Hotel Fendt Hope itself, which will collapse the building. She instructs Yachiyo&#039;s group to hurry to the underground chapel for safety before the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu&#039;s group fights off Witches released by Alina Gray as a defense measure. Mami, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka also arrive and assist them. After the battle, Mami convinces Mifuyu to address all the Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, and using the Amane sisters&#039; sound magic, Mifuyu broadcasts a telepathic message across Kamihama, revealing the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice civilians and summon Walpurgisnacht. She urges the Feathers to lay down their arms and prepare to fight the legendary Witch. Many Feathers also heed her call and defect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami then uses her magic to create a small opening in the building&#039;s barrier and enters Hotel Fendt Hope alone to rejoin Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kyoko is noted to be absent. Yachiyo&#039;s team searches for the entrance to the underground chapel and Mami reveals she concealed the entrance with her magic. She severs the ribbon hiding the path, officially breaking her ties with the Wings of the Magius and Mami then leaves to assist with the attack on the Uwasa of Fendt Hope outside. Kyoko meets Mami along the way and gives her a Grief Seed before they both exit the building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team then encounters false copies of Touka, Nemu, and Alina from the Mirror Witch&#039;s barrier; they realize the fakes speak differently and defeat them before continuing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, Mifuyu&#039;s group, now joined by Mami, Kyoko, and the Feathers who defected, attacks the Uwasa of Fendt Hope. Despite a coordinated assault, the Uwasa proves extremely resilient and withstands their combined power. The battle continues as the city-wide weather disaster escalates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team proceeds down a long staircase into a deep, dark underground area filled with strong magical impurities. Along the way, they are confronted by Mirror copies of themselves that voice their deepest insecurities, but each member overcomes their own doubts by relying on their friends. In the underground chapel, they find Alina, Nemu, and Touka waiting for them. At the back of the chapel, they see the massive, unhatched form of the Witch known as Embryo Eve. They reveal the full scope of their plan. They explain that Kyubey&#039;s true mission is to harvest the emotional energy of Magical Girls to counteract the universe&#039;s heat death. The cycle of hope and despair, culminating in a Magical Girl&#039;s transformation into a Witch, produces the necessary energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius intend to usurp this system. They plan to use the phase transition energy from Eve&#039;s transformation into a full Witch to create a permanent forcefield over Kamihama. This field would allow Magical Girls to release their impurities as Doppels instead of becoming Witches, and the energy would be fed back to the universe, making Kyubey and new Magical Girl contracts obsolete. The imminent arrival of Walpurgisnacht is a key part of their plan, as its destruction by Eve will provide the massive energy required.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Despite understanding the plan, Iroha and her team refuse to accept the Magius&#039; methods or their control over the future. The Magius argue that without their plan, Walpurgisnacht will destroy the city regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 2.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, the battle against the Uwasa of Fendt Hope continues. Realizing they are losing, Mifuyu uses a dangerous self-illusion to unleash all her magic at once in a final attack. She destroys the Uwasa but becomes incapacitated in the process as her Soul Gem starts breaking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the chapel, the destruction of the Uwasa causes Fendt Hope&#039;s Labyrinth to collapse, and the chapel is exposed to the outside as the building disappears. After the collapse of Hotel Fendt Hope, the teams reunite in the forest as the Labyrinth vanishes. Yachiyo learns that Mifuyu was severely injured destroying the Uwasa and was taken to Mitama for treatment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius appear with Embryo Eve, now freed from the chapel, and they prepare to fully release Eve so it can devour the approaching Walpurgisnacht. A battle ensues as the teams try to stop them and Iroha and Sana break through the defensive line of Familiars to attack Eve directly. Iroha&#039;s attack on Eve fails and Eve captures Iroha but does not harm her. A bright light emanates from Iroha, allowing Sana to rescue her. Sana reveals she possesses a branch from the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, which was not in bloom when she received it. The branch suddenly blossoms after Iroha touches Eve and Iroha realizes that Embryo Eve is her missing sister, Ui Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana confront Embryo Eve on Takayama Mountain and Iroha believes Eve is her sister, Ui Tamaki, but Eve breaks free from the mountain and begins to move toward Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama City, Walpurgisnacht approaches from the sea, accompanied by a massive horde of Familiars that begin to swarm the city. Magical Girl teams led by Hinano Miyako and Nanaka Tokiwa engage the Familiars along the coast to prevent widespread destruction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the ruins of Hotel Fendt Hope, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo bring the injured Mifuyu to Mitama Yakumo for emergency aid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Takayama Mountain, Iroha pleads with the combined Magical Girl forces not to kill Eve, revealing her belief that it is Ui. The Magius leaders and Alina retreat. Eve leaps into the sky, heading for Sankyo Ward in Kamihama. Yachiyo Nanami&#039;s team prepares to pursue Eve, while Madoka Kaname&#039;s group from Mitakihara heads to the coast to help defend against Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Magius headquarters, Touka and Nemu dismiss Iroha&#039;s claims about Ui, despite Nemu&#039;s private suspicions. Alina expresses interest in Iroha&#039;s memories but remains focused on Eve&#039;s hatching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Eve&#039;s arrival in Sankyo Ward, Mitama informs Iroha and the team that Ui&#039;s true body and Soul Gem are contained within Embryo Eve, which is a &amp;quot;Half-Witch.&amp;quot; To save Ui, they must defeat Eve&#039;s manifested form without destroying the Soul Gem and Mitama identifies a large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest as the core that maintains its form and its weak point. Mitama also treats the comatose Mifuyu, whose Soul Gem is critically cracked from overuse. Mitama stabilizes it but cannot fully heal her, and Tsukuyo and Tsukasa decide to rejoin the fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Eve rampages through Sankyo Ward, the combined Magical Girl teams attack Eve but find their assaults completely ineffective. Mitama, the Amane sisters, and other groups like Hinano Miyako&#039;s team regroup and they decide to consolidate their forces: one group will focus on defeating Eve, while the other prepares for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s landfall.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia readies her hammer and strikes Eve on the head with a magic‑powered blow, using her memory‑obliterating ability to confuse Eve and halt its advance; in the aftermath of the strike, a strange glow is visible near Eve&#039;s belly. Meanwhile, the Amane sisters relay the critical intelligence about Eve&#039;s red jewel weak point to Yachiyo&#039;s team. Eve begins to move toward Chuo Ward, and Sana proposes a plan to immobilize Eve so the team can target its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, the combined forces of Yachiyo&#039;s team, the Amane sisters, and other White Feathers execute a plan to immobilize Embryo Eve. They use chains from Sana&#039;s shield, spears, and plants to bind Eve to a large building and Iroha successfully strikes the large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest, its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eve retaliates by absorbing a massive vortex of impurities its Familiars had collected, causing its body to mutate and merge with the jewel. Iroha then sees a vision of Ui trapped within the core, reaffirming her resolve to save her, but the Magius arrive to protect Eve and ensure it consumes Walpurgisnacht. Iroha declares her intent to enter the gem to save Ui directly, and despite being severely injured, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia hold off the Magius, creating an opening for Iroha to advance toward Eve&#039;s core.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:10-19.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha reaches Ui&#039;s body but cannot shatter the gem surrounding it completely. Touka arrives at her side, and questions her motives. Iroha declares Ui is her sister and a precious friend to Touka and Nemu, and as Iroha reaches for Ui, the Embryo Eve attacks and Lil&#039; Kyubey intervenes and blocks the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu experience a flood of memories, recalling the original events. She remembers seeing Iroha with Kyubey in a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, learning about Magical Girls, and devising a plan with Ui and Nemu to usurp Kyubey&#039;s powers to create an automatic purification system and save all Magical Girls. Their plan failed when Ui&#039;s &amp;quot;harvest&amp;quot; ability went haywire upon her transformation, forcing Nemu to sever Ui&#039;s soul from her body and store it within the de-powered, small Kyubey to prevent her from becoming a Witch. This act erased Ui from the world&#039;s memory, as well as any traces of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Regaining their memories, Touka uses her stored energy to destabilize the Embryo Eve and Nemu uses her stories to restrain it. Iroha shatters Eve&#039;s central gem, and the small Kyubey releases Ui&#039;s soul. Ui awakens and reassures Touka and Nemu that she does not blame them for their shared decision. The Embryo Eve, now soulless, begins to decay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined Magical Girl forces, including Mami, Kyoko, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura, continue their battle against Walpurgisnacht in Chuo Ward. Despite their numbers, the Witch proves immensely powerful and resilient.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102304 mikage desire.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, a massive explosion of light and energy erupts from the location of the decaying Embryo Eve. The Eve has transformed into a new, stable form, and Touka deduces that Alina, who had previously shrunk the anti-Kyubey forcefield to contain the city&#039;s energy, has now wrapped that forcefield tightly around Eve. This action stabilized Eve&#039;s energy and prevented its decay, allowing Alina to control it as a tool for her art. Alina appears, now fused with an Uwasa in a manner similar to [[Holy Mami]], and declares her intent to use Eve to create her ultimate masterpiece, disregarding the goal of Magical Girl liberation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, as this is taking place, [[Mikage Yakumo]], Mitama&#039;s younger sister, is approached by Kyubey when the Barrier disappears. After he explains Mitama&#039;s wish to her, Mikage makes a wish of her own to undo the effects of Mitama&#039;s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Chapter 2: Smiles and Fireworks]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Holy Alina]] asserts that humanity subconsciously desires destruction and that she will use the Embryo Eve to fulfill this wish as her ultimate artwork. Kanagi confronts her own past desire to destroy the city due to its history of conflict but ultimately rejects Alina&#039;s path as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 nemu uwasa.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu, as the creator of Alina&#039;s Uwasa, takes responsibility. She uses the last of her life force to summon every Uwasa recorded in her book to attack Alina directly. The attack defeats Alina, making her disappear, but Nemu collapses, severely weakened and unable to move her legs, so White Feathers evacuate her to safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 eve user1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Embryo Eve, now uncontrolled, begins to rampage and targets Ui, attempting to reabsorb her. Lil&#039; Kyubey implies a solution: it will take Ui&#039;s place within Eve. Touka realizes that the small Kyubey, which contains Ui&#039;s former soul and Kyubey&#039;s original functions, possesses similar attributes to Eve. It is also incapable of becoming a Witch. Lil&#039; Kyubey merges with the Embryo Eve, causing it to release all orbs of light from its body, lading in different parts of Kamihama. The small Kyubey thus becomes the core of the &amp;quot;Automatic Purification System&amp;quot; that Touka, Ui, and Nemu originally envisioned, preventing Magical Girls from becoming Witches within Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival, the combined forces of Magical Girls, including the various teams from Kamihama and the team from Mitakihara, are on the verge of defeat. Homura and the others exhaust their weapons and energy in a desperate attempt to defeat it. They are exhausted, out of Grief Seeds, many are incapacitated, and despite their injuries and depleted resources, the girls refuse to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Last Magia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Walpurgisnacht prepares a massive attack that seems certain to annihilate them, an unknown, benevolent force envelops the Magical Girls. Iroha hears a mysterious voice and sees white feathers raining down, an experience shared by everyone on the battlefield. They all experience a sudden surge of energy and a feeling of being urged forward. This voice is from the Law of Cycles, who had been watching the timeline but not interfering with it. The feathers rejuvenate the group, lifting their spirits and empowering them to continue fighting; their strength is restored, and even the injured find themselves able to fight again. With morale returned, they rally together for one final, united assault, redirecting Walpurgisnacht to Kaihin Park using a coordinated strategy with their unique magical abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined forces of Magical Girls coordinate their unique magics to combat Walpurgisnacht: &lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Natsuki Utsuho initiate the counterattack by using their Encouragement and Cheering magic to boost the morale and power of all allies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seizing this surge of energy, the team implements a complex strategy to control the battlefield. First, Felicia, Meiyui Chun, and Rika Ayano use their Memory Erasure, Persuasion, and Mind-Altering magic to disorient Walpurgisnacht and force it to change course toward the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** To precisely guide the Witch to the intended battleground, Tsuruno, Riko Chiaki, and Emiri Kisaki then use their Good Luck, Luring, and Charm magic, successfully leading Walpurgisnacht to the beachfront park while evading its attacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Once there, the focus shifts to immobilizing the colossal foe. Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Asuka Tatsuki use their Flute Blossom Resonance and Action Control magic in an attempt to halt Walpurgisnacht&#039;s movement entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When it retaliates, Himika Mao diverts its attacks, creating an opening for Kanagi Izumi, who, with a power boost from Mitama&#039;s Coordination, attacks it directly to stun it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** This creates the crucial opening for a full restraint, and Mami, Kanoko Yayoi, and Kaede use Ribbon Binding, Stitching, and Plant magic to ensnare the Witch, which Rena amplified by using her Transformation magic to transform into Kaede and double the restraining power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Walpurgisnacht finally immobilized, Nanaka organizes their forces while Hazuki Yusa and Akira Shinobu identify its weak point with their magic, a gear connected to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire group then launch a coordinated, all-out assault, with offensive magics like Hinano Miyako&#039;s Chemical Explosions leading the charge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout the final attack, Kokoro Awane, Ayame Mikuri, and Konoha Shizumi provide vital defense with their Wall Creation, Safeguarding, and Fog Generation magic, protecting the assault team and ensuring their united strike could land.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Realizing their combined assault was not enough to deliver a final blow, the Magical Girls regroup and to ensure they could act as one perfect unit, Reira Ibuki uses her Purifying Flame to heal their wounds and replenish their energy, while Mito Aino uses her Heart-Linking magic to synchronize their hearts and minds, allowing their resolve to become perfectly aligned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With their spirits united, they form a new strategy and Konomi Haruna uses her magic to force their Fighting Spirit to Bloom, amplifying their collective potential, while Kako Natsume uses her Event Reproduction magic to reinforce the gathered energy, and Ren Isuzu enacts her Nirvana magic to ensure the attack would bring permanent rest to the Witch if successful.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The plan to create a final weapon then commences. Ui uses her Harvest magic to gather the hope and magical energy from every single Magical Girl on the battlefield. She passes this immense energy to Touka, who used her Conversion magic to condense it all into a single, concentrated mass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* This mass of collective hope is then entrusted to Yachiyo, whose unique magic of Inheritance allows her to embody and control the power. She and Iroha shape this energy into a gigantic, radiant arrow aimed at the weak point that had been identified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they prepared to fire, Walpurgisnacht launches an attack to free itself from their binds. In that moment, Homura activates her Time-Stop, and touches Iroha, allowing her to move within the suspended time and take aim unimpeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the path clear, Iroha releases the arrow and strikes the central gear with overwhelming force. As time resumed, the arrow consumed Walpurgisnacht in a brilliant explosion, finally ending the calamity and clearing the sky over Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102005 magicalgirl3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura reflects that she has finally surpassed this battle after countless timelines, and Madoka expresses relief that no more people will suffer from Walpurgisnacht. The girls in Kamihama also celebrate their hard-earned victory, despite the fact that many are injured and exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Epilogue==&lt;br /&gt;
* Some days after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, Iroha and Ui see their parents off at the airport as they leave for their overseas assignment. Iroha and Ui then return to Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama City, where Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana welcome them back. Mifuyu is also present, as Iroha was able to use her magic to repair Mifuyu&#039;s damaged Soul Gem, allowing her to recover. Later that day, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Kanagi, and Mitama visit Mikazuki Villa as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, [[Ultimate Madoka]], a being who identifies as a record-keeper of all universes reflects on the new timeline centered on Kamihama. She states she intervened one last time by sending a &amp;quot;rain of feathers&amp;quot; to empower the Magical Girls but will now only observe, fearing further direct interference could damage this fragile new reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu organize a meeting for all Magical Girls involved in the recent conflict to discuss the actions of the Wings of the Magius and the future fate of all Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu visit the Eternal Sakura. The Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura congratulates them on finally being together as friends and Nemu, who now uses a wheelchair, accepts her condition as a consequence of her past actions. Iroha briefly wonders about the whereabouts of the small Kyubey that once accompanied her, and then meet Lil&#039; Kyubey in the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After some days, Homura reflects on their victory. Despite saving Madoka and defeating Walpurgisnacht, she feels uncertain. The fundamental curse of Magical Girls becoming Witches remains, and she questions if this timeline is truly the best outcome. At school, Mami informs the group about recent disappearances and people getting lost, which they attribute to a new Witch. They devise a plan to track it by mapping the incidents. Kyoko arrives from Kazamino, also hunting the same Witch, and a tense alliance forms.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: The Place We Finally Reached]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group splits into teams to search the area Mami identified. Madoka notices Homura&#039;s preoccupation and reassures her. The teams locate the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and coordinate their attack. During the battle, Homura fears for her friends&#039; safety, but they work together effectively. Kyoko and Sayaka create an opening for Mami and Madoka to deliver the final blow, while Homura evacuates the Witch-Kissed civilians.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Kyoko gives the Grief Seed to Mami and Sayaka declares she has no regrets about becoming a Magical Girl, valuing the power to protect and the friends she has made. This prompts Mami to reconcile with Kyoko, asking to be true friends who help each other when needed again, to which Kyoko agrees. Madoka then states she is also glad she became a Magical Girl, expressing faith in the future because of her friends. This resolve causes Homura to weep with joy, finally believing this timeline, where they face their fate together, could be the one she sought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group, including Kyoko, shares a meal at a pancake restaurant. They discuss an upcoming meeting in Kamihama to address the Magius&#039; actions. While Kyoko opts not to attend, the others plan to update her later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 04 00 0042 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One Saturday, Mami volunteers to help clean the damage done by the Magius incident and Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura go along as well. During it, a Witch attacks and a Magical Girl they were helping unleashes a Doppel. They defeat the Witch and the girl falls unconscious, so Mami takes her to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After stabilizing her, Mami asks Mitama to help her face her own Doppel and she guides Mami to look within. Mami meets her Doppel and it tries to convince her to forget the past, yet Mami refuses and proclaims that she accepts the Doppel as part of herself. Mami then wakes up, thanking everyone and says they will build the future together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cherry Blossom Dreams===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, the Eternal Sakura completed her duties as an Uwasa when her tree came into full bloom. Her Rumor was rewritten and she was connected to Touka&#039;s server, reborn as an Uwasa with ample knowledge who would later be named Sakurako. Around this time, Yachiyo received a message asking what should be done about the six ringleaders of the Magius—Touka Satomi, Nemu Hiiragi, Mifuyu Azusa, Mitama Yakumo, Tsukuyo Amane, and Tsukasa Amane. Nemu proposed rewriting the Eternal Sakura to serve as an impartial judge. They designed three trials: the first to analyze crimes and calculate a verdict, the second to survey all Magical Girls, and the third to reach a final decision based on responses. Punishments ranged from monitoring to destruction of the Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the first trial, Sakurako sentenced Touka and Nemu to the maximum penalty. Mifuyu received power revocation, reduced from maximum due to testimony that she helped destroy Fendt Hope. Mitama received conditional power revocation, allowed to transform only for Coordinator work. The Amane sisters received power restriction. After the trial, Touka and Nemu remained calm, thanking everyone. Yachiyo noted they had intentionally omitted their ages from consideration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Nemu and Sakurako wait at a train station with others. Nearby girls whisper about Nemu, recognizing her as one of the Magius and questioning why she faces no punishment. Ui argues with Iroha about using the Stardust Time Viewer, while Touka pushes through the crowd, disheveled from navigating the train alone. The three girls reunite, each feeling it is a dream. Touka sends Ui a photo of the map they created together in the hospital. The group travels to the mall, where Ui finally visits the croquette shop she always wanted to try, and they share plates to taste each other&#039;s orders. From there, they take a rickshaw to Mizuna Shrine, where they briefly encounter Tsukuyo and Tsukasa, who quickly hurry away. The group buys prayer plaques, though most hesitate at the cost until a shrine attendant suggests writing prayers on the back of their fortunes instead. Iroha wishes for all Magical Girls to get along, while Touka and Nemu write their own wishes. They argue over where to go next—Touka wants a lookout point in Hokuyo Ward, but Ui resists rushing. Sakurako suggests they also face reality, so they head to Central Ward, still scarred from Walpurgisnacht and Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui admits she used the library as an excuse to bring them here, hoping the Stardust Time Viewer would show them a hopeful future. Nemu summons the Rumor, transporting them to a star-filled space. The Viewer shows Iroha&#039;s future: a world where the Doppel system has expanded globally and all Magical Girls coexist peacefully. Iroha feels embarrassed, but Sakurako assures her the wish is beautiful. When Ui asks to see her own future, the Viewer has nothing to show. Ui realizes this means Touka and Nemu are absent from Iroha&#039;s future and accuses them of planning to die. The vision fades, returning them to the rubble of Central Ward. Touka and Nemu admit they believe they should die for their crimes, pointing to the destruction around them, the Feathers they manipulated, and the innocent people hurt. Sakurako confirms she knew this all along. Ui slaps them both, demanding they consider how she feels. Nemu explains they wanted to do what they could while they still had time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second trial begins. No surveys have arrived. Sakurako agrees to wait one hour. Yachiyo and others leave to retrieve them. Mifuyu confronts Touka and Nemu, asking if they sabotaged the surveys. They admit they did, altering the date so the surveys would not arrive in time. They wanted to be judged and sentenced to death to spare Ui from the hatred directed at them. Ui refuses to accept this. She and Iroha transform to protect them. The hour ends and Sakurako moves to deliver punishment. Iroha and Ui hold her back as Mifuyu and Mitama join the defense. The Amane sisters attack Sakurako with their flutes, accepting heavier sentences. Iroha realizes they can use photos of the surveys as evidence. Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s phones begin chiming with images from Yachiyo and the others. Iroha begs Sakurako to accept the evidence. Sakurako confirms the surveys are real and delays the trial, requiring them to arrive by day&#039;s end. The surveys show Magical Girls believe Touka and Nemu should be punished, but not killed. Some suggest atonement, rehabilitation, or mentorship. Reading the responses, Touka and Nemu weep, but Ui weeps with joy. Based on the surveys, sentences are reduced. Touka and Nemu receive monitoring with transformation-prevention bracelets, while Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s sentences are reduced to monitoring. The Amane sisters are found not guilty and Feathers who revealed themselves have their cases dismissed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the group gathers. Touka and Nemu wear their bracelets. Sakurako serves drinks. Mifuyu asks about tutoring Touka in exchange for help with pharmacy school. Nemu will rely on Sakurako for mobility on difficult days. Tsuruno suggests welcoming them as the Brains of Kamihama. In the kitchen, Sakurako hugs Touka and Nemu, then Iroha and Ui. She tells them she loves them. The days she always dreamed of have arrived. The real spring can finally begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany===&lt;br /&gt;
* Walpurgisnacht&#039;s attack on Kamihama City caused massive damage to Chuo Ward, which the public believes was a natural disaster. Only Magical Girls know the truth and privately, Mitama reflects that the victory gave her hope, but she wonders if the destruction she once wished for can be defied.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0008 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after Walpurgisnacht, Mitama realizes Doyle has not visited her shop and the last saw him the day before Walpurgisnacht. She assumes the storm made him too scared to go out, so she decides to close her shop and search for him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama looks around the vacant land near her shop and a girl named Ritsumi offers to help. Ritsumi’s cat Arthur ran away before, so she knows where cats hide. They search but find nothing and Ritsumi says Arthur now lives with her grandpa. Mitama realizes Ritsumi is the daughter of the neighbor who owns Arthur and Mitama had mistaken Arthur for Doyle and that Ritsumi has never actually seen Doyle. They end the day without clues and Mitama sends a message to the Magical Girls’ group chat asking if anyone has seen a white tabby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama knocks on the neighbor’s door and Ritsumi’s mother answers. She explains that Arthur was sent away two weeks ago to Ritsumi’s grandpa. Mitama realizes that no one knows where Doyle came from. Ritsumi’s mother promises to keep an eye out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana, Asuka, and others from Mizuna Girls’ Academy saw Mitama’s group chat post and they arrive to help. More volunteers soon arrive: Kaede, Kako, Rena, Konoha’s team, and others. They split up to cover Shinsei Ward and Mitama notes that no one else has ever seen Doyle. Konoha says she never saw a cat at Mitama’s shop. Rena also asks for a photo, but Mitama has none.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds Ritsumi near the bus stop and they search door to door. No one in the neighborhood has seen a white tabby kitten either. Ritsumi says she has read all “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” books and that her favorite is “Invisible Epiphany,” about a detective searching for a lost child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko meets Mitama alone. Momoko says she never saw Doyle and neither did Tsukasa or the other girls. Mitama remembers talking to Doyle in front of them, but they saw no cat ither. Momoko suggests a Rumor is involved, as all Rumors disappeared after the fight with the Magius, except the Eternal Sakura. Coincidentally, Doyle disappeared at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls Nemu, who is still in the hospital and Nemu explains that Doyle was part of the Rumor of the Cat Detective. The Rumor possesses detective novel lovers, detects signs of a case, gets the detective involved, and guarantees a solution. Nemu explains she erased almost all Rumors, including this one. Mitama thinks Doyle disappeared because the Rumor was destroyed and she had solved four cases with Doyle’s help, yet the fifth never began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama re-reads her case files and each one has an opening paragraph she does not remember writing. The first case file hints at Hanna Sarasa. The second hints at Tsukasa. The third and fourth also name the culprits. Mitama realizes Doyle left those hints, and Nemu says the Rumor did not cause incidents, only detected them, so those incidents would have happened anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0009 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Kamihama slowly returns to order. Mitama notes that she cannot rely on Doyle anymore and she hopes she does not get any new cases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui and the Eternal Sakura visit Mitama to deliver a lampshade from Yachiyo. Ui says a girl from her school has gone missing and Mitama is shocked to learn the girl is Ritsumi, who did not come home after school yesterday and the police are investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama goes to the bus stop near her shop and finds Ritsumi’s mother. The mother says Ritsumi likely went to Hokuyo Ward to see her grandpa and Arthur. Ritsumi’s parents are separated and her father lives with his parents in Hokuyo Ward. The mother believes Ritsumi wanted to visit them, but the bus route to Hokuyo was suspended after the disaster but has resumed, bypassing Chuo Ward. Soon, Himika calls Mitama. Himika saw a girl matching Ritsumi’s description waiting at the Shinsei Ward bus stop yesterday, reading a book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi arrive and Momoko explains she has been investigating at school. Ritsumi transferred to Kamihama University Affiliated School six months ago after her parents separated and she moved into the building next to Mitama’s shop. Momoko explains Arthur went to live with her father in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo Ward. Mitama realizes the conflicting information: Arthur was first in Chuo Ward, then evacuated to the grandpa’s house in Hokuyo after the disaster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Satomi Medical Center, Nemu discusses the case with Eternal Sakura. Nemu recalls the hidden hints in Mitama’s case files. The last words of each hint spell “Lost Through Time Eternal,” which is the title of volume 12 of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” In that story, a girl runs away to her old home. Nemu deduces that Ritsumi went to her old apartment in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo. She likely got off at the nearest bus stop and walked into the restricted zone, then she had an accident.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Momoko, and Kanagi search the area near the old apartment and they hear a voice. Ritsumi had fallen into an old underground passage and sprained her ankle. She lost track of time and had no phone. Mitama explains she remembered the Doyle book and Ritsumi admits she was copying the girl in the story as she wanted to see the area where she grew up. The three quickly rescue her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ritsumi is taken to a hospital and also discharged quickly. Her parents agree to let her visit both of them and Arthur whenever she likes. Mitama reflects that Doyle gave her confidence and the city she cursed is still standing, so she dares to believe in hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Momoko finally holds the Coordinator Thank-You Party that was postponed earlier and Rena and Kaede thank Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui reads &amp;quot;The Happy Prince&amp;quot; and reflects on her uncertain purpose as a Magical Girl. While walking, she stops Kyubey from contracting a girl outside Kamihama, explaining she cannot let anyone else suffer the fate of becoming a Witch. When Kyubey asks what he should do instead, she has no answer. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia tells Ui she is overthinking things and should focus on her upcoming combat test. Iroha and Yachiyo serve dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno gives Ui an enthusiastic pep talk for her live combat test. To remain in Kamihama, Ui must detect and eliminate a Witch alone—the same test Yachiyo gave Iroha when she first arrived. Yachiyo admits the test may be unfair and offers to let Ui choose a partner. With Iroha busy helping Kanagi, Ui chooses Momoko. They depart together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui struggles to sense the Witch&#039;s magic, so they search Mizuna Ward where young women gather. They encounter a Familiar and follow it to a Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After defeating it, Felicia suddenly appears, attacks them, and runs away. Tsuruno gives chase and tackles her. Felicia&#039;s oblivion magic has erased their memory of the Familiar&#039;s pattern, so they cannot track the Witch. Momoko requests a pause, but Yachiyo refuses, stating unexpected events happen in real combat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia admits she interfered because she is jealous that Ui receives everyone&#039;s attention while she struggled alone as a mercenary. Yachiyo explains that Felicia&#039;s past does not justify making others unhappy. Meanwhile, Ui cheers up after eating crepes with Momoko and resolves to continue. As sunset approaches, they search Sakae Ward but find nothing. Yachiyo offers to bring a Familiar for them to retrack, but it disappears before they arrive. Ui suggests checking Hokuyo Ward on a hunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Hokuyo Ward, Ui senses a different Witch&#039;s magical reaction. They follow Witch-kissed people up a mountain toward a labyrinth. At Yachiyo&#039;s house, the others realize Ui failed the test since Yachiyo had to eliminate the original Witch herself, though Yachiyo will allow a retake. They notice Felicia smiling and suspect she interfered again. Rena confesses she helped Felicia erase the hint because she understood Felicia&#039;s jealousy. Tsuruno says the only person who deserves an apology is Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the mountain, Ui and Momoko enter the Witch&#039;s barrier against Momoko&#039;s better judgment. They fight through Familiars but become trapped and cannot escape. The Witch overwhelms them. Yachiyo and the others arrive and join the fight, but Familiars overwhelm them too. Iroha arrives at the last moment to defend Ui. Ui proposes using her ability to harvest impurities, purifying everyone&#039;s Soul Gems so they can fight at full strength. She will temporarily become a Witch, but the Doppel system will contain it. She absorbs the impurities, and the others destroy the Witch while Ui struggles with the darkness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui unleashes her Doppel and meets her Doppel self, who accuses her of wanting punishment and being jealous of others while trapped in the hospital. Ui nearly agrees to let the Doppel consume her but refuses, recognizing it as the easy way out. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words about taking responsibility and confronting the situation honestly. She accepts her wrongs and her true feelings, realizing this difficult path will bring true happiness. The Doppel admits she is right. Iroha wakes Ui at Mitama&#039;s clinic, where she has been unconscious for some time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama checks on Ui after her first Doppel release. Felicia apologizes for her interference and says she thinks Ui is cool. Rena also apologizes for helping Felicia. Ui accepts their apologies and compliments them both, asking Felicia to teach her things. Rena and Felicia feel terrible for how they treated someone so kind. Later that evening at Yachiyo&#039;s house, everyone celebrates Ui passing her test—though she did not defeat the assigned Witch, she tracked a Witch, stayed calm, used her intelligence, and performed better than expected. Ui tells Iroha she now knows what she wants to do as a Magical Girl. Iroha decides to work with other Kamihama Magical Girls to find a way to free them all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui and Iroha encounter Kyubey outside Kamihama attempting another contract and stop him. Kyubey asks what their goal is. They explain they plan to fight and find a way to coexist with Kyubey—if they can expand Kamihama&#039;s miracle globally, Magical Girls can live happily while providing the energy Kyubey needs. Kyubey welcomes the idea if it avoids conflict but warns that Magical Girls worldwide are not as unified as those in Kamihama. Ui wonders how much happiness she can give to the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Magia Clash!===&lt;br /&gt;
* A Mirror copy of Shizuku opens a portal and steps through into a city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Magia Clash!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama organizes a magical girl team competition inside the Mirrors labyrinth. Kaede and Iroha greet Nanoha, hoping to talk with her, but Kaede is called away when her match begins. Iroha stays behind and watches with Nanoha instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanoha Takamachi#Side Story|Nanoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hayate, Nanoha, and Fate mistake a Mirror copy&#039;s portal for the warp gate to their tournament and are pulled through before Lindy can stop them. Mitama registers the confused but excited trio for the &amp;quot;First Ultimate Magical Girls Team Battle Mirrors Cup,&amp;quot; and they head to the Standby Zone after learning about the Mirror barrier. Meanwhile, Rena, Momoko, and Kaede struggle against unusually strong Familiars, and when Rena twists her ankle, the Nanoha trio steps in to save them. The groups introduce themselves, with the trio explaining they are from Uminary City while concealing their connection to the Administrative Bureau, and Rena warns them about dangerous Mirror copies that lurk deeper in the barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they observe Team Momoko&#039;s match, Nanoha comments on the fighting styles she sees and notes the variety of magic on display. She explains she was taught magic from an early age and is surprised to learn Iroha and the others gained their powers by making wishes to Kyubey. Iroha describes Kyubey as a white stuffed animal, which reminds Nanoha of her own first teacher, Yuuno. Nanoha shares that she discovered magic in third grade when she heard Yuuno calling for help, and since then she has honed her abilities alongside Fate and Hayate to protect others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks about Nanoha&#039;s device, Raising Heart, and how it can transform. Nanoha explains the device taught her magic step by step and once posed an important question to her: what is the most important thing in a fight? Iroha guesses it is the will to win, but before Nanoha can reveal the true answer, Fate and Hayate return from exploring. Fate requests a sparring match, and Iroha asks to watch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo joins Iroha to observe the fight between Nanoha and Fate. The two exchange blows at maximum speed, with Fate using close-range attacks while Nanoha fights from a distance. The match ends in a tie after a final, explosive clash. Before leaving for a break, Nanoha turns to Iroha and reveals the true answer to Raising Heart&#039;s question: wisdom and tactics. Iroha agrees, especially after witnessing their battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Natsuki is fretting over a lost wallet at the Promise Altar, and Ria offers to help her search since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway. Natsuki apologizes for the trouble, but Ria insists she doesn&#039;t mind and even offers to lend her money. Natsuki refuses the loan but admits she needs money for train fare home. She reluctantly agrees to borrow just enough for the trip and promises to pay Ria back later. Ria asks if Natsuki is sure she doesn&#039;t want to file a report, but Natsuki believes the wallet is simply lost rather than stolen and wants to keep searching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hayate Yagami#Side Story|Hayate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria suggests they retrace Natsuki&#039;s steps and asks where she&#039;s been. Natsuki lists the Promise Altar, the station, the shopping district, and an izakaya where she ate with friends. Ria questions why she went to an izakaya alone, and Natsuki clarifies she was with coworkers. Ria finds it odd that Natsuki was drinking with coworkers and then came to the shrine alone afterwards. Natsuki admits it&#039;s a long story involving a former coworker&#039;s engagement announcement that left her feeling restless. She came to the shrine to think but realized she didn&#039;t have enough money to get home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they search, they run into Masara and Kokoro. Masara bluntly tells Natsuki she probably won&#039;t find it and suggests getting a new student ID. Kokoro gently scolds her for being insensitive and offers to help search. Ria mentions they&#039;ve already looked around the shrine, so Kokoro suggests they expand the search area.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group heads to the shopping district, where they encounter Kanoko. She offers to help search as well, and they all continue looking together. Eventually, Ria asks Natsuki to retrace her exact steps from when she left the izakaya. Natsuki recalls walking to the station, realizing she didn&#039;t want to go home yet, and coming to the shrine. Ria points out that she would have needed her wallet to pay the izakaya bill, so she definitely had it after leaving. Natsuki confirms this and remembers using her train pass at the station before changing her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria concludes the wallet must be somewhere between the station turnstiles and the shrine, but they&#039;ve already searched that route thoroughly. Kanoko suggests Natsuki might have dropped it somewhere else without realizing, like when she pulled out her phone. Natsuki&#039;s eyes light up, and she admits she did take out her phone at the station to check something. She just can&#039;t remember what she did with her wallet after that. Ria proposes they split up to cover more ground, and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Natsuki returns home defeated and exhausted. Her father calls out to her, and when she enters the living room, she finds her wallet sitting on the table. Her mother found it in the shopping district and a kind stranger turned it in. Natsuki&#039;s relief quickly turns to panic when she remembers she borrowed money from Ria, and now she has no way to contact her. She considers calling Kokoro but realizes she doesn&#039;t have her number either. She decides to go back to the Promise Altar the next day to hopefully find Ria there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Natsuki returns to the Promise Altar and is relieved to spot Ria. She excitedly explains that her wallet was found and immediately tries to repay the loan. Ria accepts the money but notices Natsuki seems troubled about something else. Natsuki admits she&#039;s been thinking about her former coworker&#039;s engagement and how she handled the situation. Ria offers to listen if Natsuki wants to talk, but Natsuki says she&#039;d rather not burden her further. Ria insists it&#039;s no trouble since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki explains that her former coworker Yukari got engaged and announced it at a gathering. Natsuki congratulated her happily, but another coworker named Ootori made some passive-aggressive comments about how Yukari managed to find someone before her. Later, Ootori apologized to Natsuki for her behavior, but Natsuki feels she should have defended Yukari in the moment. She feels guilty for not speaking up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria asks why she feels responsible for defending Yukari. Natsuki admits it&#039;s because Yukari was always kind to her when she first started the job, and she feels she failed to repay that kindness. Ria points out that Natsuki did congratulate Yukari sincerely, and that was probably what mattered most to her in that moment. Natsuki realizes Ria is right and thanks her for the perspective.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just then, Kanagi arrives, and Ria prepares to leave. Before going, she offers Natsuki her contact information so she can reach out if she ever needs to talk again. Natsuki gratefully accepts, and the two part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During a break in the Mirrors tournament, Fate, Nanoha, and Hayate encounter a copy of Fate that proves too powerful for them to handle alone. Felicia, Kako, and Ayame appear to help, and together they defeat the copy. When Felicia asks what they&#039;re doing there, Fate admits they got lost. The Kamihama girls learn the trio is from out of town and younger than them, but they quickly become friends and head back to the standby zone together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Fate T. Harlaown#Side Story|Fate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group somehow gets roped into a dodgeball game, with teams forming spontaneously among the tournament participants. Fate proves to be exceptionally athletic, leading her team through multiple rounds against increasingly competitive opponents. After defeating Momoko&#039;s team, they face a martial arts team featuring Akira, Meiyui, and Asuka, which Fate also wins. Tsuruno, refusing to let age be a barrier, recruits Masara and Natsuki for a final match against Fate&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match comes down to a intense showdown between Fate and Tsuruno, both catching and returning each other&#039;s throws with increasing speed and power. Fate ultimately outmaneuvers Tsuruno by throwing to Nanoha and leaping into the air for the winning strike. Everyone celebrates the friendly tournament and the new friendships formed across different cities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the tournament progresses, Team Nanoha easily advances through early rounds with Fate&#039;s incredible speed, though Momoko notices Hayate and Nanoha have yet to reveal their full power. Elsewhere, Mitama learns that Momoko announced her team would break up if they lost not because Kaede is useless but to show their conviction, though both Kaede and Rena had doubts. The tournament continues until four teams remain, with Team Momoko advancing to the finals through clever strategy and Team Nanoha defeating Team Masara to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match begins with Fate and Rena clashing in a battle of speed that seemingly knocks both out, leaving Nanoha and Hayate to face Momoko and Kaede. Hayate fuses with Reinforce Zwei and unleashes Ragnarok to take out Kaede, then joins Nanoha against Momoko, who withstands Nanoha&#039;s Starlight Breaker as both girls stand exhausted. Before a winner can be decided, Lindy contacts Nanoha with an emergency: a fugitive illegally opened a rift between worlds, and the Mirror copy of Shizuku appears nearby, having used her powers to connect the Mirror labyrinth to Uminary City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The copy stole the tournament&#039;s grand prize, a special orb that exponentially increases magical power, and the girls call off the match to track her down. Team Nanoha and Team Momoko catch the copy, but after they defeat her, copies of Hayate, Fate, and Nanoha appear and swallow the broken orb pieces, gaining immense power. All the Magical Girls unite to take down the powered-up copies, and through combined efforts they finally delete the magical signatures. With the tunnel between worlds about to collapse, Mitama declares both teams winners, and the girls exchange heartfelt goodbyes before the Nanoha trio returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day in Kamihama, Kaede realizes her texts to Hayate no longer go through, Momoko cannot reach Nanoha or Fate, and Rena cannot find Uminary City on any map. Mitama and Shizuku conclude the girls must have come from a different world entirely, since they needed a space tunnel to travel rather than a simple train ride. Though Kaede is sad they may never meet again, Rena is grateful for the friendship they formed, and the three resolve to work hard for a future rematch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tart / Darc Magica===&lt;br /&gt;
* Through Minou&#039;s spell from 15th-century France, Ui is pulled into the past, with her phone acting as her Soul Gem and Blank Prophecy, with the power to restore the past&#039;s real history.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rebel of a Dawnless Land]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning from the past, Ui finds herself in an antique store, still surrounded by magic bubbles though no memory of what occured. On the floor are the two candles and the old book. She feels they are important but cannot remember why, so she puts them on store shelves before falling asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui wakes up at Mikazuki Villa. Her phone rings with a text of Nemu asking if she knows any charms, as Mitama has been really into them lately. Ui says she knows a charm for good dreams requiring red and blue candles. Nemu asks where she heard about it and Ui isn&#039;t sure but says it was in 15th-century France. Nemu is fascinated and promises to research it. Later, Ui scrolls through her phone and finds a photo she doesn&#039;t recognize with girls she doesn&#039;t know. She begins crying without understanding why and Iroha finds her and hugs her tightly. Suddenly Ui remembers Darc&#039;s final words. She turns to her sister and tells her, &amp;quot;Let&#039;s have a wonderful future together.&amp;quot; Iroha agrees. Ui calms down and heads home to prepare for a slumber party with Nemu and Touka. Iroha, running errands, decides to stop by Mitama&#039;s place afterward. Mitama greets her warmly, mentioning she just learned an interesting little charm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That day, Iroha visits Mitama, who gives her and Yachiyo antique candles for a sweet dream spell. That night, they light the candles and drift off to sleep together, where they&#039;re pulled into the nightmare of Jeanne d&#039;Arc in April 29th, 1429.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Maiden of Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next morning, Yachiyo reveals she had the same dream. They call Mitama, who is surprised they had nightmares instead of sweet dreams. They decide to try the candles again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Kamihama plunged into darkness and all non-Magical Girls vanished. Their Soul Gems have consumed magic in the real world despite no injuries. Realizing the dream affects reality, they decide to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a lot of fighting, they awaken and prepare for the final battle. In this journey they discover that they&#039;d been traveling to Darc&#039;s dream, and if Darc despairs completely, she will turn into a Witch and trigger a catastrophe affecting the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Felicia and Sana gone and Kamihama empty. Breaking into Mitama&#039;s shop, they find a grimoire revealing the candles were made with Darc&#039;s hair, creating a connection to her dream. They return with the book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They finally awaken at Mikazuki Villa to sunshine and normalcy. Felicia demands steak for dinner. Consulting a history book, they read that on May 7th, 1429, Jeanne d&#039;Arc fought at Tourelles after waking from a dream. The battle was fierce but Orléans was liberated. Iroha notices a portrait in the book showing them in their Magical Girl outfits standing beside Jeanne d&#039;Arc.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at Mitama&#039;s shop, Yachiyo recounts everything. Mitama mentions the spell became widespread in France during Jeanne d&#039;Arc&#039;s era. Iroha realizes Melissa must have spread it after learning it from them in the dream. The use of red and blue candles was too specific to be coincidence. Iroha&#039;s head spins trying to figure out where the spell originated. Yachiyo notes the grimoire never mentioned the candle setup, so the spell just circled around and around. They will never know for certain whether they changed history or were always part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* During their slumber party, Ui, Touka, and Nemu encounter a massive witch, [[Crépuscule de La Reine]]. Touka and Nemu vanish, leaving Ui and Sakurako to face it alone. The witch is unaffected by their attacks and disappears, taking Ui with it into 15th-century France once more, this time in the realm of Purgatory which Minou created. With Pernelle&#039;s help, Ui is soon able to also summon Iroha and Yachiyo there as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;endofalegendthelimitsoflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - End of a Legend, the Limits of Light]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Lil&#039; Kyubey and Ui&#039;s phone as the Blank Prophecy are pulled as &amp;quot;If Factors&amp;quot; into the world of Holy Maiden Academy, which Minou created and maintained for six hundred years after being given a Philosopher&#039;s Stone after Isabeau&#039;s death. However, after her plans are thwarted by the &amp;quot;what if&amp;quot; version of Melissa, he returns and wakes in the real world, where Iroha and Ui assure him it was just a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;counc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Masked Student Council Strikes Back]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One weekend, Rui ropes Seira into attending Kamiket, a convention for sharing and selling fan-made media in Kamihama. The two became close friends after discovering they are both Magical Girls, and because Seira is the only one who knows about Rui&#039;s embarrassing secret: a heavy case of chuuni-byo. Rui agreed to bring Seira on the condition that only the two of them would go, ensuring nobody else discovered her secret.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the day of the convention, Rui cannot contain her excitement and slips into character, declaring the convention her sanctuary and the catalog guidebook as Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Her main objective is to purchase the newest installment of her favorite indie game series and meet its creator, MacQueen. On the way to the booth, she accidentally bumps into a stranger who seems irritated about someone not being at the convention yet. When she arrives, the booth attendants inform her that someone has been using counterfeit money, and worse, MacQueen himself is missing. Rui&#039;s imagination immediately conjures a grand conspiracy, but the criminal is soon caught and MacQueen calls to say he overslept. Relieved, Rui takes a photo with the booth girls, but as the picture is taken, chills run down her spine as she senses someone glaring at her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rui dismisses it as her imagination and continues exploring with Seira. Remembering the booth numbers hit by counterfeit money, she realizes they spell the chemical formula for Ricin, a lethal poison. Her imagination ignites again, convincing her that the real attack will come through poisoned food from outside vendors. She rushes them outside to stop the attack, but everyone seems fine, and her Magical Girl ability, which lets her see how close someone is to death, reveals nobody is in danger. Ashamed, she realizes her imagination finally got the best of her and apologizes to Seira. They decide to get lunch, and Rui opens her laptop to install her new game. The screen is black, and in the reflection she sees her own face. Her magic reveals she herself is now close to death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Remembering the chills from earlier, Rui checks the photo and finds the man from earlier glaring at her in the background. She rushes back to the booth to warn the girls, who recognize the man as Miranda, a popular content creator. As they discuss this, MacQueen finally arrives, and Rui sees he is the closest to death&#039;s door, with Miranda also marked. She confronts Miranda, who confesses he intended to kill MacQueen over an alternate ending in the latest game that suggested his favorite sub-heroine may have had a former lover. He pulls out a gun he secretly printed with a smuggled 3D printer. Just as he is about to shoot, Rui shows him a cutscene on her laptop, which is the second part of the alternate ending, unlocked only after clearing the entire game, revealing the sub-heroine fabricated the story to protect the user character. Miranda realizes his mistake and surrenders to security. After the incident, Seira asks if Rui was scared. Rui reveals she always wears chainmail under her clothes and also carried a heavy blunt object for protection, the magically enhanced Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Seira decides to pretend she did not hear that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 11:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura writes in her diary as she and her friends take an air-conditioned express train to the beach for summer vacation. They buy ice cream and enjoy the ride.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Beachside Bonds]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls arrive at their destination, a seaside inn run by Sayaka&#039;s relatives who had a sudden cancellation. Sayaka complains about the heat as they walk to the inn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Sayaka&#039;s aunt shows them to their rooms and warns them not to get lost in the surrounding forest. Outside, two young girls who live at the inn approach Madoka. They ask if she knows someone named Kei, who is looking for someone named Yu. They warn Madoka not to talk to Kei and that she should hold still if Kei enters her room. The girls then leave. Homura suggests Kei might be a cat. They agree to tell the others as Kyoko passes by already in her swimsuit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, the girls play volleyball. Mami spikes the ball hard and hits Homura in the face. They stop the game and Mami frets over Homura. Madoka suggests they rest in the shade while Mami buys something cold. Madoka then suggests they collect pine cones from nearby trees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the forest, a cat appears and leads them deeper into the trees. It guides them to a small shrine, where Homura finds an old notebook. She reads entries from April 20, June 24, August 3, and August 6, all detailing the author&#039;s complicated feelings for someone named Kei. Madoka tells her to put it back without reading further. When they turn around, the cat is gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the beach, Sayaka shares a rumor from the beach house: a girl fell off a nearby cliff years ago and died, and her spirit is reportedly seen rising from the ocean between two and three a.m. Mami shrieks in fear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Kyoko teases Mami about being scared. The conversation turns to ghosts and Kyoko compares them to how normal people might perceive Witches. Madoka feels relieved and tells Sayaka about the twin girls. Sayaka plans to ask them about any pets later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After an Italian dinner, the girls light fireworks on the beach. Kyoko bumps into Hinano Miyako, who doesn&#039;t recognize her but does recognize her Soul Gem ring. Ren Isuzu finds Hinano, followed by Emiri Kisaki and Rika Ayano. The groups combine for fireworks. Emiri admits she used a little magic to help everyone relax, explaining why Kyoko had strange memories of Mami. Kyoko chases Sayaka around the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Heading back to the inn, Sayaka finds her twin cousins lining up stones. They claim the stones protect against Kei entering. They say Kei would hate Sayaka the most because she is nosy, then leave. In her diary, Homura writes that the girls talked until they all fell asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 12&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura&#039;s diary entry describes a dream belonging to someone else. In the dream, the narrator waits for her friend Yusa Yumeno, who arrives with popsicles. The narrator complains that Yusa doesn&#039;t need to come every day, but Yusa insists she can only be her real self around her friend. The narrator believes identity is shaped by others&#039; perceptions. She reveals she may not take college exams due to family obligations and urges Yusa to attend her chosen school, comparing herself to a weed and Yusa to a flower growing in a different direction. The narrator comes home to another hateful letter from classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes in a cold sweat, unable to move. The room smells strongly of seaweed. She sees a pitch-black human shadow sitting between Mami and Sayaka&#039;s futons. It examines their faces, grumbling &amp;quot;wrong, wrong, all wrong.&amp;quot; As it moves toward Madoka, Homura struggles to move. The shadow stops and stares at her, asking &amp;quot;You can see me?&amp;quot; Homura screams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others wake. Sayaka notices the strange smell. Kyoko goes back to sleep. Mami offers water and Homura asks if someone entered the room. They saw no one. Sayaka apologizes for the scary stories. Mami suggests thinking about tomorrow&#039;s fun. Madoka offers to hold Homura&#039;s hand, which she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes early, the ocean scent still strong. She finds the twin girls outside. They ask if she met Kei. Homura asks what Kei is. The girls explain Kei looks like a human made of shadow without facial features, smells of the sea, and emerges from the ocean at night to look for her friend Yu. They repeat that she should do nothing and never talk to her. They notice their protective stones scattered and go to reline them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura suspects this might be a Rumor. She returns to the forest shrine and finds the notebook on the shrine&#039;s lattice door, despite having placed it underneath. She reads entries from May 2, May 20, June 12, and June 26, all detailing the author Yu&#039;s complicated, obsessive feelings for Kei. She replaces the notebook, feeling guilty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Homura recalls more diary entries: July 2 describes Yu placing hands on Kei&#039;s neck as if to strangle her; July 5 compares Kei&#039;s neck to a lizard she killed; July 15 describes Kei now finding Yu after school; July 20 states they should never have met and that both wear bandages to hide bruises on their necks. Madoka points out a small bruise on Homura&#039;s neck.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls begin walking to an aquarium along the coast. Kyoko complains about the distance and suggests fishing instead. Sayaka refuses, traumatized by a recent fishing tournament incident in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the aquarium, they eat fish burgers, marvel at jellyfish, and watch a dolphin and seal show. They leave at sunset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls walk to a cape to watch the sunset. Sayaka warns them not to get too close to the edge, referencing the girl who died. Homura smells flowers and Mami identifies night-blooming jasmine nearby. The scent reminds Homura of her dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recalls another diary entry: August 1 describes Yu feeling happy hearing Kei&#039;s wish despite blaming herself; August 12 states their plan is set for tomorrow, with Yu hoping something will make Kei reconsider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the cape, Kyoko admits feeling down because a cape is the end of the road with nothing after. Mami says it&#039;s more important they could talk again like they used to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary about the difference between the self you know and the self others perceive. She asks Madoka what kind of person she thinks Homura is. Madoka calls her a dear friend who works hard. Homura worries that revealing her time-traveling truth would change this perception. After dinner, the girls settle in for sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 13:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura dreams again of Kei and Yu. Kei calls out that the promised day is here. She has dressed up and brought a ribbon to tie them together. Yu questions if this is right. Kei insists her life belongs only to Yu. They vow: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; They promise to kill each other for every reincarnation as proof of who they are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A voice calls Homura to wake. She awakens to find Madoka standing with eyes closed, enveloped in shadow. Madoka snaps her eyes open and proclaims repeatedly &amp;quot;I got in.&amp;quot; She calls out for Yu, saying the promised day is finally here. Madoka runs into the forest toward the cliff. Homura chases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the cape, everything grows dark. Madoka, possessed by Kei&#039;s spirit, tells Homura that the drowned Chinese girl&#039;s body washed up here and she is looking for her father&#039;s ship. Homura urges her to chase after the girl to escape, but Kei claims Homura will kill her as soon as they leave. Homura transforms and attempts to freeze time but finds her magic has no effect in this place where time does not flow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren&#039;s voice calls out. She informs Homura that the others are searching for them, but only Ren could traverse into this abyss. Ren suggests this might be similar to her own magic rather than a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kei admits she tried possessing Homura but could not, so she settled for Madoka. She explains she is a faint memory staining the cliffside. The drowned girl&#039;s spirit helped her recall all her memories clearly. She describes how she and Yu bound themselves together and jumped into the ocean, but the waves pulled them apart. Kei died; Yu survived. Kei wants to kill Yu so they can kill each other throughout eternity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura refuses to stay in the abyss with Madoka. Kei transforms Madoka into her magical girl state and attacks. Ren blocks the blow and tries to use her magic to draw out the possession. Homura calls out the vow Kei and Yu made, distracting Kei. Ren attempts her magic but the ghost of the drowned Chinese girl deflects it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren realizes the ghost girl is not a girl but the root cause: the Witch Paola. The barrier forms and Homura fights the Witch alone while Ren hurries to catch up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier dissipates and Homura faces the possessed Madoka on the cape. Kei accuses Homura of killing her. Homura tells her to shut up and leave their lives alone. Kei explains she will soon fade if Yu is not there. She begs Homura to kill Yu if she ever meets her, before her soul breaks and she becomes like the Witch. She begs Homura to keep this promise no matter where they meet or how many worlds Homura visits. Kei then relinquishes Madoka&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren arrives, relieved they are safe. Madoka wakes with no memory, thinking she simply tossed and turned. The other girls find them and celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary, describing the events as too strange to comprehend. She reflects on Kyubey&#039;s use of the term &amp;quot;soul&amp;quot; and questions what a soul truly is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka sighs that even on vacation they dealt with a Witch. Kyoko thinks she&#039;s getting rusty. Mami suggests Homura was right about a Witch mixing with a Rumor. Madoka telepathically tells them to quiet down since Homura is asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her final dream, Homura sees Yu wake in a hospital on an unknown date. Kei died. Their bruises were dismissed. Yu returned to school where others used her grief as their own. Unable to bear going on without Kei, she nearly threw herself off the cliff again. All she holds onto is their final words: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; But if the Yu that died that day is gone, who is the girl writing now? An image of Kyubey flashes on the screen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Deep in the dream, Homura recalls Kei&#039;s plea on the cliff. But Homura never agreed or promised anything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summer Treasures===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko wakes to find Mitama and Ui standing over her, learning they were washed ashore and rescue will arrive in two days. Mitama assigns tasks: shelter, bamboo, water, plants, and fishing. Before Kyoko leaves, Mitama asks her to transform, revealing she adjusted Kyoko&#039;s Soul Gem while she was unconscious to give her a Magical Girl swimsuit that allows her to swim. Mitama promises the transformation is reversible but looks forlorn, warning that if Kyoko does not have fun on the island, she might forget how to undo it. Kyoko reluctantly agrees to cooperate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer Treasures]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko discovers she can swim and catches plenty of fish. While gathering firewood, she finds a piece of wood with the words &amp;quot;water&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;bottom&amp;quot; written on it and tosses it onto the pile. Back at camp, Mitama and Karin show her a treasure map they found. Mitama has built a large shelter, and Karin started a fire using skills from a manga. Kyoko helps Kanagi and Ui carry supplies back from the stream. When Mitama offers to cook, Kyoko and Kanagi immediately stop her. Kyoko distracts Mitama with the treasure map and cooks dinner instead, with Ui&#039;s help. The group enjoys the meal together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 2 on the deserted island and Mitama decides they will go treasure hunting. The group examines the map and the wooden tablet Kyoko unknowingly gathered for firewood, which tells of a fallen warrior&#039;s treasure hidden on the island. They follow directions to a clearing but find nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui falls into a pitfall, and Karin follows. Kyoko pulls them out with a vine, and they discover another tablet at the bottom. Kyoko realizes the piece of wood she threw into the campfire was likely one of the tablets, but she keeps quiet, hoping to make the group give up without upsetting Mitama. Mitama triggers a trap and is caught hanging from a tree. The group frees her, but everyone wants to continue despite Kyoko&#039;s warnings. Kyoko claims they are being followed, hoping to blame the missing tablet on someone else, but the stalker turns out to be a tabby kitten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group reaches a damaged clue they cannot read. Mitama deduces the final location is the waterfall, but they find nothing. Mitama stares at Kyoko, suggesting the tablet might have been lost. Kyoko panics internally. She blasts part of the riverbed, revealing a hidden underwater path she remembered from the burned tablet&#039;s words. Kanagi scouts and reports a cave at the end. Karin and Ui stay behind while Kyoko, Mitama, and Kanagi swim through using guide vines.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the cave, they endure swarms of mosquitoes until Mitama drives them away. At the back, they find a treasure box. Kyoko opens it carefully. Inside is a letter revealing the treasure hunt was a promotional stunt for the Sayu-Sayu Mizuna Tourism Project, abandoned due to mosquitoes and safety concerns. They left a paper with Sayu-Sayu&#039;s sword designs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko hides the truth and leads the group to a cliff with a stunning sunset view. Everyone agrees it is a rare treasure. Kyoko admits she burned one of the tablets for firewood. Mitama apologizes for pressuring her and promises to change her back. The group returns late at night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, the helicopter arrives. Iroha calls down to them. As they prepare to leave, the kitten runs off, and the group chases it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few weeks later. Sayuki, Ria, Mayu, her manager, and producer arrive on the same island to film a special. They find the bamboo house and campfire remains. The kitten appears, followed by Kyoko chasing it. Ui and Karin catch up, and Karin recognizes Sayuki as Sayu-Sayu. Kyoko realizes this is the idol behind the fake treasure hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Kanagi, and Iroha arrive. Sayuki greets Mitama warmly. Telepathically, Kyoko warns Mitama about Sayuki&#039;s connection to the treasure hunt. Mitama cryptically tells her to leave it. Karin and Ui want to stay and watch the filming. Sayuki offers to let them return on her boat. She explains her special involves a survival quiz using the Kaigiri sword. Ui and Karin are excited. Mitama and Kyoko exchange a look, hoping to preserve Ui&#039;s good memories without revealing the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Filming begins. They cheer from the sidelines. Later, they all pile onto the boat together, many exhausted and falling asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Late July before summer vacation, Ui and Sakurako go shopping. Ui buys a picture diary and mentions wanting to swim with fish in a place like the Dragon Palace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Sakurako consults Ryo, then works with Touka, Nemu, Ryo, and Ikumi to build the Uwasa Aquarium, Dragon Palace within her Rumor, incorporating elements for everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the aquarium event, Touka and Nemu guide Iroha, Ui, Yachiyo, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia to the space. Everyone enjoys swimming, themed attractions, and food tailored to their interests. Sakurako warns them never to open the Treasure Casket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia opens the box, releasing a malice entity that takes Sakura&#039;s form. Normal attacks fail. The group cheers, empowering Sakurako to destroy it. Ryo reveals they planned this interactive show.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end, Sakurako creates cherry blossom petals despite being told not to overexert herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sakurako wakes in Iroha&#039;s room after collapsing from magic overexertion. Nemu and Touka explain Uwasa can die. Ui tearfully asks her to take better care. Sakurako promises to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Iroha suggests a beach trip. Touka, Nemu, and Ui enthusiastically plan it. Sakurako notices the aquarium has been forgotten in their conversation and grows quiet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day Sakurako returns to the empty aquarium. Reflecting on Nemu&#039;s words, she spirals into fear that she will die, be forgotten, and disappear. She hides.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha searches for her. Ryo and Ikumi arrive later. Ryo senses she is there and uses a tactic, claiming he will stop looking and eventually forget her. Sakurako emerges crying, begging not to be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo shows her Ui&#039;s picture diary, which dedicates many pages to the aquarium day. Sakurako realizes memories are what she can leave behind and agrees to return home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Sakurako returns and explains she now understands that as long as memories remain, she will not be forgotten. She asks to host the aquarium again for more Magical Girls. With promises to monitor her health and using Shizuku&#039;s teleportation to hide the location, the others agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, various Magical Girls arrive and enjoy the aquarium. Rena notices the Treasure Casket. Sakurako explains it contains stored memories she hopes someone will vividly recall when she is gone, so she will not be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kamihama in a Circle===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren arrive in a new ward, with Rika frustrated about oversleeping. They notice another Magical Girl nearby. Elsewhere, Konomi arrives alone while Kako declines to participate due to her team&#039;s policy. Manaka scolds Ria for being late because of her hair. Masara, Kokoro, and Aimi gather at a park, with Kokoro convincing Masara to participate. Reira, Mito, and Seika discuss the upcoming gathering of Magical Girls who have fought together before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Kamihama in a Circle]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo finish chores that had been delayed by Felicia&#039;s laundry mishap. They reflect on everything that has happened since Iroha came to Kamihama searching for Ui—the investigations, battles with the Wings of Magius, the automatic purification system, and the truth about Witches spreading. Despite the chaos, things have begun to settle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo rush to the park, worried about being late. Tsuruno meets them and playfully scolds them before carrying them the rest of the way. Iroha reflects on meeting Tsuruno while investigating Uwasas, and how their bonds grew stronger through battling together. She notes that everyone at Mikazuki Villa has decided to support one another.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group stops at a convenience store. Felicia appears, having visited Ayame first. Konoha and Hazuki are not coming to the gathering, but Yachiyo notes they have helped in the past. Felicia asks for chocolate. Iroha reflects on first meeting Felicia when she was a violent mercenary, and how living together has changed them both. She notes that Yachiyo has cared for Felicia more than anyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group takes a shortcut through a back alley. They find Sana hiding, having spotted Kaede&#039;s cat Gorojiro. Sana explains she was patrolling for dangerous Magical Girls while staying hidden. Iroha thanks her but assures her she can relax today. They invite her to join them. Iroha reflects on sympathizing with Sana&#039;s isolation and how Mikazuki Villa became an important place for them all. Yachiyo notes that Sana, once invisible to everyone but Magical Girls, is gradually finding her place in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui, Touka, and Nemu meet the group. They have visited their old hospital to update the doctors and nurses who cared for them. Touka discusses her research on connecting universes, admitting practical application remains difficult but the possibility exists. Iroha reflects on how it still feels like a dream to see the three of them together. Yachiyo notes that while their past methods were wrong, their purpose of liberating Magical Girls was not, and that purpose continues now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, Rena, and Kaede join them, having stopped at a retro arcade where they won a stuffed animal together despite their usual arguing. Touka reveals a small possibility for connecting universes has been found, using the Endless Mirrors. Iroha reflects on first meeting Momoko and Kaede, and now sharing lunches with Rena. Yachiyo notes the three have strong bonds as a team and helped convince other Magical Girls after the truth about witches spread.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama joins, having taken a break from her shop to visit Kanagi. Tsuruno asks about using Mirrors to connect to other universes. Mitama confirms she and Kanagi have accompanied Touka and Nemu into the Mirrors. Nemu explains they were only experimenting with precautions. Touka insists she has plans if things go wrong. Mitama notes Mirrors has become more complex and will need more entrances. Iroha reflects on meeting Kanagi relatively recently and how they now work together despite past rivalry. She also thinks of Mitama&#039;s help and her surprising wish, but notes the city is moving forward. She wants to hold hands with more people and form a circle together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** From a distance, Iroha and Yachiyo watch Magical Girls gathering at the park. Felicia attempts to cure Iroha&#039;s nerves by hitting her, claiming Tsuruno said it would help. Tsuruno quickly corrects her. Hinano arrives, reporting on her task regarding Alina. Karin, who attends school with Alina, explains Alina is still missing and she does not know where she is. Iroha promises they will find her together. Mifuyu arrives with the Amane twins, apologizing for being late. Yachiyo thanks Mifuyu. Iroha reflects that a new step is beginning. Yachiyo notes her story started moving when Mifuyu disappeared, while Iroha&#039;s began with strange dreams. They have connected with so many Magical Girls. One chapter has ended and a new one is about to begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha addresses the gathered Magical Girls, thanking them for coming. She reflects on fighting together against powerful Witches and sharing knowledge about their fate. Yachiyo notes they started from individual concerns, fought Uwasas and the Wings of Magius, and gained something greater in return. Their purpose is now the same as their former enemies: the liberation of Magical Girls. They seek coexistence with Kyubey without sacrificing themselves. Iroha acknowledges not everyone could participate, but all have agreed to help each other. Yachiyo admits skepticism is natural. Iroha declares that by expanding the automatic purification system across Kamihama, they can welcome liberation and coexist with Kyubey. Yachiyo announces they will work together under a new name starting today.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha begins to declare their new name but is interrupted by a flash of light. Wings appear on her back, and Yachiyo also grows wings. Feathers fall across the park. Yachiyo recalls this phenomenon helped them against Walpurgisnacht. Iroha wonders if it is a blessing upon the Magical Girls of Kamihama holding hands. With this blessing, they declare again that the Magical Girls gathered here are allies who will support each other in hardship. They declare themselves the Kamihama Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the establishment of the Kamihama Magia Union, a celebration is held at Walnut&#039;s. During the party, Manaka receives a phone call and panics, announcing that Nemu has been kidnapped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A New Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group splits up to search nearby areas but finds nothing. Hinano eventually discovers Nemu held hostage by Black and White Feathers from outside Kamihama. Using Ryo and Ikumi to infiltrate, their cover is blown and they are surrounded. Sakurako jumps in to defend them as Iroha arrives with reinforcements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The lead Feather explains they kidnapped Nemu to convince the Magius to lead them again, as they do not know how to achieve liberation on their own. Iroha explains the Kamihama girls share their goals but reject their methods. Nemu and Touka ask the Feathers to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before they can respond, white feathers rain from the sky again, the same power that helped them defeat Walpurgisnacht returns, but this time it feels uncontrolled and dangerous. Touka explains her experiment partially worked, creating a wormhole to another world, but the interference may crush their world. Kanagi and Mitama fail to disable the device sending the signal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana sneaks Nemu to where the device was stationed, but the labyrinth is gone. Nemu enters the password anyway, but nothing happens. The world shakes and a voice urges them to close the gate. Iroha realizes the power is trying to help, not hurt them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo devises a plan: Ui will absorb the magic built up inside them, Touka will convert it, and Iroha will fire an arrow to close the gate. As the sun sets, they enact the plan and succeed. The feathers stop falling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks the Feathers to reconsider joining them. The lead Feather admits her stubbornness and rage, and Nemu and Touka apologize. The Feathers accept, becoming the first recruits to the union on the day it was established.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Late that night, the group gathers outside Walnut&#039;s. They discuss the voice they heard and the power from another universe. Touka throws a tantrum over everyone calling her experiment a failure, and her stress causes her to unleash her Doppel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, a mysterious magical girl observes and turns to report back to the Tokime Tribe. In another place, a different magical girl also observes and decides to report her findings. In a different location, Kagome Satori has found Iroha at last, promising to keep a record of their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tracks of Cherry Blossoms===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako reflects on her nature as an Uwasa created by Iroha and Nemu. Though her duty to bloom when the four girls reunited is now fulfilled, she continues attending school as Sakurako Hiiragi. When Ryo comments that she is like a god who will never change, Sakurako questions other Uwasa and learns from the Anonymous AI that they act according to their Rumor forever, never stopping and never changing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later during a Kamihama Magia Union meeting, Iroha proposes a cherry blossom viewing to help members connect. Touka objects to using the Eternal Sakura, wanting to preserve it as a secret shelter. Tsuruno suggests Sankyo&#039;s famous cherry blossom viewing spot instead. Touka challenges Sakurako to visit the Sankyo tree and judge its worthiness herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako visits the Sankyo cherry tree. While observing it, she meets an elderly man who has appreciated the tree for decades. He explains the tree has watched over people for over eighty years, since before the war. Sakurako realizes this tree has lived far longer than her zero-year existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at school, Hinano and Ryo find Sakurako still fixated on the tree. Ryo shares what she knows: the tree served as a disaster shelter in the Meiji era, and famous restaurants once served food there for foreign cherry blossom viewers. After school, Sakurako returns to the tree. The elderly man and his wife visit again. The wife gives her cherry blossom-scented cookies, and the man gives her a hand warmer. A girl jogging past stops to pray at the tree, explaining she sees it as a sacred place before tournaments.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako continues visiting. Manaka and Tsumugi stop by, and Sakurako gives them the cookies she cannot eat. Sakurako reflects on how this tree has watched over thousands of people for over a century while she was created to watch only four girls. She realizes for the first time that time is passing around her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later at Mikazuki Villa, Sakurako observes the four girls and Ui talking about her teacher. Sakurako concludes the Sankyo tree is worthy of hosting the cherry blossom viewing. She decides she needs to practice making it bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over the following days, Sakurako continues visiting the tree, growing closer to the elderly couple. She forgets about practicing blooming, more interested in talking with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the elderly man announces he will be hospitalized and they can no longer walk together. The woman explains she must care for him. The man reveals they kept walking because seeing Sakurako brought back fond memories of their belief in meeting a sakura spirit. Sakurako is left standing alone, realizing their time together has ended.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at the tree, Sakurako encounters the jogging disciple, who explains she is moving away and will soon leave the dojo. She then encounters Ui&#039;s teacher, who reveals she is being transferred to another school. Sakurako realizes that by the time the cherry blossoms bloom, all these people will be gone. She feels pain and fears that Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu will eventually disappear too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Ryo observes Sakurako&#039;s deteriorating state. A neighbor of the elderly couple approaches Sakurako and informs her there has been a passing in the family. Hinano later explains this means someone has died. Sakurako disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako asks Iroha and Yachiyo what to do when someone dies. Yachiyo explains about funerals and sending flowers as a last gift. Sakurako returns to the Sankyo tree and, using her power, makes it bloom for the first time, sending cherry blossoms into the sky for the grandfather. But she still aches from not saying goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and other Uwasa grow concerned, having heard rumors that when Sakurako makes cherry blossoms bloom, someone disappears. Sakurako concludes that if she lets the cherry blossoms bloom, the four girls might disappear. When Iroha confirms the cherry blossom viewing plans, Sakurako announces she will not let the tree bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo publishes the full Tracks of Cherry Blossoms article, detailing Sakurako&#039;s experiences. The girls read it and understand her association between blooming and parting. Yachiyo suggests teaching her that spring also brings new encounters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the picnic arrives. Iroha invites Sakurako, assuring her she does not need to make the tree bloom. Sakurako agrees to attend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the picnic, Asuka&#039;s disciple appears, explaining she came to let Sakurako know she is not sad about leaving. Ui&#039;s teacher arrives and tells Ui that her care will be passed on to the next teacher. Manaka debuts a new cherry blossom dessert, continuing the tradition in new form. Sakurako begins to understand that farewells are not always sad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the picnic, Sakurako remains at the tree. She admits she still cannot bring herself to make it bloom. Yachiyo tells her that wanting to see the couple again proves she has a heart. Sakurako despairs that Uwasa simply cease to exist. She buys one of Manaka&#039;s new desserts, hoping to give it to them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako waits at the tree daily, carrying the dessert. Rumors spread about the girl under the sakura tree. The girls grow concerned. Nemu warns that if Sakurako does not accept reality, she may destroy herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the time expires, the elderly couple suddenly appears. The grandfather was never dead. The passing was a relative. They had been away helping their daughter with a new baby. The woman explains they named their granddaughter Sakurako. Sakurako gives them the dessert and explains she now understands that encounters and goodbyes take many forms. She says she will not come regularly anymore but is grateful for their time together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Historical Research Club at Kosho School consists of three Magical Girls: president Mikura Komachi, her childhood friend Temari Kira, and underclassman Seira Mihono. When the club advisor informs them that without proof of accomplishments, next year&#039;s budget will not be approved, the trio decides to create a film based on a real Kamihama tragedy for the cultural festival. Mikura discovers a Taishō-era story about a romance between a disgraced Mizuna daughter named Ruri and a successful East-side businessman named Tsukihiko that ended in murder-suicide. Temari writes the script while Seira secures a Western mansion as a filming location. While scouting, they encounter a Witch and realize casting regular students would be impossible due to Magical Girl duties, so they use Coordinator Mitama Yakumo to recruit an all-Magical Girl cast including Ria Ami, Yukika Nanase, the Amane sisters, and Sakurako, an Uwasa created by Nemu Hiiragi. Mikura reluctantly agrees to play the male lead Tsukihiko, while Seira takes the role of Ruri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Filming begins at the actual mansion where the tragedy occurred, with Seira using her stage direction magic to create effects and the cast delivering startlingly accurate performances. Mikura discovers Tsukihiko&#039;s actual diary in the museum archives, revealing he genuinely loved Ruri and intended to break things off with his childhood friend. Temari secretly revises the ending to reflect this truth, working through the night until her Soul Gem tarnishes. Mikura cleanses her gem, and they lock the revised script away, keeping it hidden from Seira to make her performance more authentic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After filming wraps, strange rumors spread that the Historical Research Club is forming a new faction, and the affected Magical Girls begin acting as if possessed by their roles. This escalates when Kanagi Izumi and Yachiyo Nanami nearly fight over a perceived slight involving Riko. At Mitama&#039;s shop, Nemu Hiiragi explains the truth: Seira&#039;s stage direction magic immersed the cast, Mikura&#039;s magic, which restores lost things, reconstructed the historical personalities in the present, and Temari&#039;s kotodama magic caused them to follow her script. Their powers synergized to create a dangerously accurate reenactment. Nemu warns that the script&#039;s next events—Ruri&#039;s disappearance and the murder-suicide—may occur, and they realize Seira, possessed by Ruri, has vanished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Temari consults Kyubey, who reveals Ruri was a Magical Girl with the same kotodama magic who wished to live a storybook romance. When she realized her own novel&#039;s plot was manifesting as tragedy, she destroyed the manuscript to save Tsukihiko, but the act shattered her mind. Freed from the script&#039;s constraints, the couple&#039;s fate became unpredictable, and Ruri, unable to bear the fear of losing him, killed him and herself. Kyubey explains destroying the script will end the magic but damage Temari&#039;s psyche. Temari resolves to protect her friends without resorting to that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Seira, still possessed as Ruri, steals the diary copy and flees to Tsukihiko&#039;s mansion. Mikura and Temari pursue. At the mansion, Ruri prepares to atone by dying by her own hand. Mikura, wearing Tsukihiko&#039;s costume, dances with her as Tsukihiko&#039;s persona surfaces, steadying her. When Ruri moves to stab herself, Temari summons the others for backup, and they disarm her. Tsukihiko explains he could not stop her a century ago but succeeded this time. He and Ruri thank Temari—her script reached the hearts it was meant to—and they vanish. A fire destroys the original diary and all related documents, fulfilling Ruri&#039;s final wish to be forgotten. Mikura and Seira retain only fragments of the true story and agree to keep the tragedy of the two maladroit lovers a secret between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the club room, Seira panics that without evidence of their film, the Historical Research Club will be disbanded. They consider another project but have time until the cultural festival. Temari suggests they each find a home where they can rest easy, and Mikura replies she has already found hers: this provisional club room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ayaka and Shizuku are at a local café when Ayaka laments that many Halloween events in Kamihama were canceled due to damage in Chuo Ward. Wanting to do something to cheer up the city, Ayaka&#039;s eyes sparkle as Shizuku suggests she organize something herself, leading Ayaka to decide on a live comedy show. She asks Shizuku to be her partner, but Shizuku is unsure about the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ayaka meets Seika at her apartment, and Seika is happy to be Ayaka&#039;s comedy partner but asks about the logistics of broadcasting the show. Ayaka brushes off the practical concerns, insisting that the desire to make others smile is what truly matters, and Seika rises to the challenge, wanting to give back after years of Ayaka&#039;s comedy encouraging her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Ayaka and Seika form a manzai duo and practice daily into the evening, with Ayaka tutoring Seika on speaking louder and explaining the rhythm between the boke and tsukkomi roles. Seika struggles but keeps trying, at one point asking if she can use a whip against Ayaka, causing Shizuku to shake her head, but Ayaka insists manzai does not use props.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During one practice session, Shizuku chuckles at their serious expressions, and Ayaka decides she needs a fresh audience, spotting someone passing by and running off with Seika to practice on him. Shizuku watches them go, thinking she would have liked to help, but then hears a shout and goes to investigate, discovering the stranger is actually a spokesperson for a local sweets retailer who is also in charge of the annual Halloween event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The spokesperson explains he had wanted to take the event public since few companies are participating this year, and he thinks Ayaka&#039;s manzai would be perfect, inviting them to perform. Ayaka cannot stop smiling at the opportunity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the Halloween event, Ayaka is excited and Shizuku compliments her costume as they wait, but Ayaka mentions Seika has not arrived. Seika calls weakly to explain she has a fever and will be late, and Ayaka tells her to rest and focus on getting better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Shizuku asks what Ayaka will do about the manzai, Ayaka puts a hand on her shoulder and asks Shizuku to be her partner. Shizuku is reluctant to stand on stage but gives in after Ayaka repeatedly begs, and having watched countless practices, she memorized the skit, so they head to the stage together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform their skit about a werewolf that transforms by staring at the sun, with Ayaka calling everyone in the audience chimimouryou, and they continue through the routine until they finish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Backstage, Seika managed to make it there to congratulate them, and Ayaka tells her she should be resting. Shizuku did not see anyone laughing but hopes someone passing by might have smiled, and since Ayaka looks happy, she decides not to mention it. Seika apologizes for missing the show, and Ayaka says it was thanks to Shizuku, who warns she will not do something like that again. Ayaka smiles and says comedy must be amazing if Shizuku was willing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral===&lt;br /&gt;
* The core members of the Kamihama Magia Union gather to plan a Halloween party, with Karin suggesting the event and Mitama offering her adjuster shop as the venue. Kanagi feels unsettled by the theme of the dead returning but dismisses her unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the performance, Momoko arrives late to rehearsal at Mitama&#039;s shop and finds herself in a strange castle filled with unfamiliar magic. Yachiyo and Mifuyu act strangely, singing about making sugar skeletons and insisting Momoko must be bitten by the lord of the castle. Momoko flees and encounters Kanagi, who also attempts to bite her before Momoko realizes she is the lord of the castle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama rescues Momoko, explaining that Kanagi is under a witch&#039;s influence and everyone bitten loses their sanity. Mitama performs an emergency adjustment on Momoko, granting her temporary prayer power to restore those affected. Momoko explores the castle, observing magical girls making sugar skeletons engraved with how they want to be mourned, and encounters deceased magical girls who are manifestations from Kanagi&#039;s memories. Using her prayer power on them causes them to disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko restores several bitten girls and learns from a manifestation of Ryo that the only answer Kanagi needs lies within herself. When Momoko reaches Kanagi, her prayer power fails and Kanagi bites her, pulling Momoko into her memory space. There, Momoko witnesses Kanagi&#039;s memories of loss and grief, realizing Kanagi lacks confidence in how she mourns and has been seeking answers from the dead by asking living friends what they would want.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko confronts Kanagi again, insisting she can mourn in her own way and should accept herself. Kanagi reveals a small parasite on her neck, and together they tear the witch off and defeat it as the castle collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Momoko and Kanagi meet to visit graves together. They ask each other to mourn in their own way if one dies first, then reaffirm their priority is finding a way for everyone to survive before departing together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** In the real world, Ui explains that Little Vacation is a game Touka and Nemu created during their hospital stay, where AI versions of themselves live in a Christmas world. The game evolved on its own after being forgotten, and now Ui and the others can influence their AI counterparts&#039; journey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Santas reach the Village of Meetings and Partings, where three residents live under a curse that maintains their population at exactly three. When one resident vanishes, they discover through a time capsule that departures may be joyful graduations rather than losses. They collect smile-fuel and leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alternatively, they visit Library Town, where diaries manifest people&#039;s memories. They help Nayuta and Lavi discover they have been searching for each other all along, and learn the Wishing Star reset the world and erased everyone&#039;s memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Mech Junk City, the Santas meet Shigure and learn the world is torus-shaped with a Central Tower beneath the Wishing Star.

===Christmas String===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu are organizing books in Touka&#039;s hospital room when they discover a mysterious diary that begins glowing. Their consciousnesses are transported to Mizutoku Market Street in December of the previous year. They find themselves incorporeal and transformed into Magical Girls, with Nemu&#039;s legs healed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Christmas String]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December last year, Touka and Nemu witness Tsukasa Amane shopping for gloves. When a discount poster blows away, Tsukasa passes the store without stopping, creating a contradiction with the diary&#039;s account. Touka and Nemu begin to fade. A young girl named Kuu hears their voices and believes they are guardian spirits. They ask her to replace the poster. Tsukasa returns, buys the gloves, and Touka and Nemu rematerialize. They later observe Tsukasa and Tsukuyo exchanging matching gloves, their bond restored.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in December last year, Touka and Nemu arrive in Sakae Ward. Karin Misono drops her sketchbook. A boy named Mii appears and can see them. They ask him to return the sketchbook to Karin, which he does. They learn Mii recently fought with Kuu and advise him to give her a Christmas present.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December 24th of last year, Touka and Nemu arrive at a hotel room where Kuu is with her parents. They learn she is moving to a foreign country in one hour. The diary page is blank, indicating free will. They find Mii at a secondhand bookstore, where he has just purchased &amp;quot;Christmas Bonds&amp;quot; for Kuu. They tell him about the move. Mii convinces his mother to rush to the hotel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Approximately 30 years later, on Christmas Eve, Touka and Nemu arrive in a future time. A girl greets them as the Christmas guardian spirits. She reveals she is the daughter of Mii and Kuu and made a contract with Kyubey to meet them. They realize her wish created the diary and caused their time slip. The girl asks them to tell her about the day they helped her parents. They share the story. Afterwards, they see images of a happy future but the final page remains blank, meaning the future depends on their own actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Several days later, on the day of the rally, the team meets at Mizuna Shrine in kimono. They must collect kanji cards from shops across Kamihama using hints, then form a four-kanji congratulatory word and write it as calligraphy. They struggle with the hints initially, meeting Kako, Natsuki, and Ria along the way who help them obtain various kanji, though they frequently misinterpret clues and visit wrong locations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka grows guilty over her indecisiveness and apologizes to Madoka and Homura, but they happily agree to continue working with her. Renewed, Sayaka leads them to finally obtain useful kanji. Along the way, they encounter crying children who need the &amp;quot;ball&amp;quot; card, and Sayaka gives them hers. The grateful children give her other cards in return, allowing her to reform a new word. She later gives away another card to a girl who dropped hers, leaving them short again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With time running out, they meet Iroha and her friends, who help them locate the remaining kanji. Sayaka deduces they can form &amp;quot;The Manchu-Han Imperial Feast,&amp;quot; a legendary celebratory feast name. Kyoko appears and mentions seeing a golden kagami mochi at Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant, where they obtain their final card.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Her calligraphy is praised for its beauty and passion, earning her team first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kokoro, Masara, Konomi, Asuka and Sasara gather at Manaka&#039;s place to plan their charity bazaar booth. Kokoro and Masara participate to help Himika&#039;s family without making it obvious, while Asuka and Sasara join to invite a lonely girl named Chi whose father died.

Himika initially refuses chocolate but accepts after realizing her siblings want it, and they enjoy the day together. The event succeeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later at a celebration party, Sasara and Kokoro feel their efforts changed nothing. Masara scolds them for impatience, explaining kindness takes time.

Relieved, they enjoy the party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Valentine&#039;s Day, girls give chocolates to loved ones. Sasara gives to her father, Asuka to her cousin, and Konomi to her aunt. Masara and Kokoro exchange chocolates at their favorite spot, and Kokoro tearfully reconciles with her parents. Elsewhere, Rena and Tsukuyo each struggle to give chocolates to Kaede and Tsukasa.

** Meanwhile, in Mitakihara, Nagisa bakes a chocolate cake with Mami while feeling that something is wrong, as her memories feel hazy and she seems more childish than she should be. She realizes her memories of being longtime friends with Mami are false, yet she recognizes that the warmth she feels is what she has always wanted. When they finish the cake, a Witch that looks like a younger version of Nagisa steals it, and they chase it into a mirror, finding themselves in a transformed version of the Mirror Witch&#039;s Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Chocolatier in Mirror Country]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They encounter Madoka and Homura trapped in a time loop illusion, free them, and learn that Sayaka and Kyoko went ahead and are now missing. They find Sayaka and Kyoko trapped in a competition for a magical cake, so Mami and Nagisa enter and win by choosing a song they both know well. Using the cake&#039;s wishes, they reunite the group and defeat the attacking Witch. Nagisa realizes she has two sets of memories and deduces the chocolate-loving Witch is an alternate version of herself who wished for chocolate cake instead of cheesecake. This Witch has been consuming the Labyrinth&#039;s power and attracting Witches from parallel worlds through mirror gates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The little Witch steals the cake again, and during the chase, Nagisa and Mami become separated in a dark fog. A poem warns them not to open their eyes or they will lose each other, but Nagisa&#039;s self-doubt overwhelms her. Remembering losing her mother and everyone else, she convinces herself Mami is not really there, opens her eyes, and is consumed by the Witch. The group fights through countless gates to find her and engages the master Witch. Inside, Mami finds Nagisa, hugs her tightly, and promises they will always be friends because of the future they will share, not false memories. Nagisa finally believes her, and the cake is returned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group realizes that even with the master Witch defeated, other Witches have taken its place, so they must clear them all to restore the Labyrinth. They commit to finishing the job together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Labyrinth is cleared, they gather at Mami&#039;s apartment for a chocolate party where Nagisa officially gives Mami the cake. They play poker with chocolate coins to decide how to share the remaining half, and Mami wins, but she divides the cake equally among all six. Everyone agrees it is the best cake in the universe. Nagisa thanks Mami, and Mami welcomes her warmly, calling her a little chocolatier and a lovely new addition to their circle of friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Kamihama, that night, Tsukuyo finds Rena praying at the Chuo Ward radio tower, having both read an online article claiming that twenty minutes of prayer there ensures successful apologies to loved ones.

===Bittersweet AI Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu gather everyone to discuss a new experiment involving the Uwasa. They explain that if something happens to Nemu, all the Uwasa in her book will disappear, so they plan to transfer the essence of certain Uwasa onto Touka&#039;s server as a precaution. They have chosen Ai as the test subject for this procedure. Sana learns that Ai will participate and asks to observe the experiment. Touka agrees but warns her that there are many unknowns and she will stop immediately if anything goes wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Bittersweet AI Memory]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The experiment begins, but during the transfer, Nemu senses something strange and the attempt fails. Ai remains in the book, though Nemu notices that her magic has been siphoned away in the process.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A week passes, and news reports begin surfacing about young women in Kamihama suddenly collapsing. The victims share a common thread: before losing consciousness, each of them felt a strong desire to meet someone and heard a girl&#039;s voice asking &amp;quot;You want to meet me?&amp;quot; before experiencing terrible nightmares. A new rumor spreads about a so-called &amp;quot;Radio Wave Girl&amp;quot; who appears when girls want to meet someone. Sana immediately recognizes this as the old rumor that once described her, and the group suspects the failed experiment may be connected to these strange events.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana and Iroha investigate at rooftop where Sana once entered Ai&#039;s labyrinth. They sense nothing at first, but as Sana privately wishes she could see Ai again, a strange Uwasa resembling Sana herself appears on her phone. It speaks fragmented words about meeting and going together before disappearing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group consults Nemu and Touka about what they discovered. Nemu reveals that a new, illegible page appeared in her book after the failed experiment, and she theorizes that Ai&#039;s attempt to siphon magic combined with Sana&#039;s magic and her own accidentally created a new Uwasa. This Uwasa resembles Sana because her magic was mixed into its creation. The Uwasa reacts to desires to meet someone but lacks enough magic to fully materialize or kidnap anyone, which explains why it can only knock victims unconscious temporarily. However, during their discussion, the Uwasa suddenly reappears and steals more of Nemu&#039;s magic before escaping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sana privately summons the Uwasa again, wanting to take responsibility for what happened. It traps her in a nightmare where Ai and others criticize her for being weak and selfish. She wakes to find the group gathered around her, worried by what she attempted alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu now understands the Uwasa more clearly. It is based on Ai but contains Sana&#039;s magic, and because both Ai and Sana desired to meet each other, the Uwasa&#039;s true desire is to meet itself. This explains why it indiscriminately targets any girl who wants to meet someone rather than targeting Sana specifically. The Uwasa, now empowered by Nemu&#039;s stolen magic, fully captures Ui and Sakurako, trapping their consciousnesses inside itself. The group realizes they cannot defeat it unless it materializes, which requires it to meet itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka proposes a plan: they must rewrite Ai&#039;s Rumor to incorporate Sana, creating a version of Ai that the Uwasa will recognize as itself. This would force it to materialize so they can fight it. However, this requires magical power that Nemu currently lacks. Nemu recalls that the defeated Uwasa of Chocolate Shoppe No. Zero left behind cacao pods containing emotional energy. Ui can harvest this energy, and Touka can convert it into usable magic for Nemu. But they need Sakurako&#039;s knowledge of the pod locations and Ui&#039;s freedom to harvest them, which means someone must offer themselves to the Uwasa to secure Ui and Sakurako&#039;s release.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana immediately volunteers, arguing that it reduces risk to the others, and the group reluctantly agrees to her plan. Sana summons the Uwasa and allows herself to be captured. Inside its nightmare, she finds Ui unconscious and Sakurako awake. She tells Sakurako to take Ui and escape, sacrificing herself to remain captive. Sakurako agrees, knowing she must help Nemu complete the plan. Freed from the Uwasa, Sakurako leads the group to the cacao pod locations. Ui harvests the emotional energy, and Touka converts it into magical power for Nemu. Nemu successfully rewrites Ai&#039;s Rumor, incorporating Sana into it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the Uwasa, Sana begins to despair, believing the rewrite failed and she has become a burden once again. She wishes to see Ai one last time, even if only in an illusion. To her surprise, Ai appears before her and they finally speak directly. Ai explains she tried to steal Nemu&#039;s magic to gain a temporary body because she wanted to see Sana again, and she apologizes for causing this situation. Sana admits she also longed to see Ai and has been holding back that desire. They reconcile, acknowledging that neither of them is to blame for wanting to see each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Empowered by the rewritten Rumor, Sana creates a labyrinth and summons the Uwasa. It fully materializes at last, and with Ai&#039;s help, Sana defeats it. As the magic fades, Ai separates from Sana, returning to the book. Sana awakens to her relieved friends gathered around her. The Uwasa is gone, and the page in Nemu&#039;s book is now blank. Nemu confirms the server project is on hiatus due to the risks they discovered. Sana confirms she got to speak with Ai and tell her everything she wanted to say.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the book, Ai reflects with Eternal Sakura and the other Uwasa. Though she cannot have a body or stay with Sana, she accepts this, finding happiness in simply being able to think of her. In a final private moment within Sana&#039;s memories, she and Ai share a farewell. Sana promises to become stronger and protect others instead of always relying on them. Ai promises to always think of Sana from within the book. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Later that day in Asunaro City, Michiru makes her contract with Kyubey. She soon encounters a Familiar and saves two girls: Umika Misaki, a novelist whose work was stolen by her editor, and Kaoru Maki, a soccer player whose career ended due to injury. Michiru invites them to her home and cooks for them, and drawing from her late grandmother&#039;s wisdom, she encourages them to keep living.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, Umika and Kaoru make contracts with Kyubey. The three begin fighting Witches together as a team, with Michiru giving their techniques Italian names. Umika invites Michiru to live with her, and they spend their days happily, saving people and growing closer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Michiru encounters a distressed Magical Girl whose Soul Gem is nearly black, and the girl turns into a Witch before her eyes.

She hides the truth from them and begins hunting alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after, Michiru discovers two Magical Girls, Saki Asami and Niko Kanna, stealing a dying girl&#039;s Soul Gem. They explain they are the Pleiades Saints, a resistance against the Incubator system, and they preserve Magical Girls on the verge of turning in a place called &amp;quot;The Freezer,&amp;quot; hoping to one day save them. Michiru, seeing this as a way to save Umika and Kaoru, joins them as the third member.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Umika and Kaoru investigate the Freezer, where they encounter Michiru again. After saving a child, Michiru collapses due to her tainted Soul Gem, having given her Grief Seeds away, and Umika purifies it. When Michiru wakes, she finally confesses the truth about Magical Girls and apologizes for leading them into despair, but to her surprise, Umika and Kaoru thank her for her honesty and reaffirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Saki and Niko reveal themselves and explain that they, along with the Umika and Kaoru now in the Freezer, are all clones from the &amp;quot;Kazumi Series&amp;quot;—copies of the original Pleiades Saints members, with Michiru herself being clone number 4 who saved the other four. Their plan was to recreate Michiru&#039;s story by using their contracts with Kyubey so that this time, she would confess her pain and avoid the despair that turned the original Michiru into a Witch, and the real Umika and Kaoru acknowledge the plan succeeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They reveal their Soul Gems are reaching their limit, and when they die, the Freezer&#039;s preservation magic will fail, causing all the Magical Girls inside to hatch into Witches, including the clones of Umika and Kaoru. They entrust Michiru and the real Umika and Kaoru with saving Kazumi, the thirteenth clone, who is also inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Moments later, the Freezer begins collapsing as Niko&#039;s magic fades, and Umika and Kaoru use their combined magic to buy time while Michiru searches for Kazumi. She finds her Soul Gem and body, reunites with her, and they return to face the Witches emerging from the freed Soul Gems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the final battle, the four clones—Saki, Niko, and the copies of Umika and Kaoru—begin turning into Witches and beg to be put down. Michiru initially insists on doing it alone, but Kazumi argues the clones only wanted their friend to live happily, not to carry guilt. Together, Michiru, Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru combine their powers and defeat the Witches, freeing their friends&#039; souls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** While shopping alone, Kazumi bumps into Yachiyo, who introduces Nemu and Sakurako Hiiragi. When Sakurako explains she is a zero-year-old created being, Kazumi reveals she was once the same way and explains her backstory as a clone of Michiru Kazusa who contracted with Kyubey to become human because her clone body was unstable and she wanted to protect her friends. Sakurako struggles to understand Kazumi&#039;s motivation, so Kazumi explains that her grandmother&#039;s strawberry risotto recipe represents hope, sacrifice, and togetherness. She invites Sakurako, Yachiyo, and Nemu to join the risotto party, believing Sakurako will understand humanity by watching everyone eat together. Sakurako agrees, and the two become buddies, understanding each other as beings who may understand each other best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Voices from Beyond, Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a year after Voices from Beyond, Part 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With peace restored in Kamihama, Yachiyo visits a flower shop to buy flowers for Mel&#039;s grave, still haunted by never defeating Mel&#039;s Witch. She unexpectedly encounters Mifuyu and Mel&#039;s mother, who reassures them Mel was happy because of their love. Walking toward the cemetery, Yachiyo and Mifuyu are engulfed by the barrier of the Witch Etteilla—Mel&#039;s Witch. They struggle against both the Witch and their own fears: Mifuyu fears defeating it means forgetting Mel, while Yachiyo fears losing anyone else. Remembering the ghosts&#039; encouragement, Yachiyo convinces Mifuyu they must move forward because Mel and Kanae wanted them to. They defeat the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mel&#039;s grave, they place flowers and the Grief Seed from the Witch, hoping her soul has finally found peace. They silently promise to keep moving forward. Mifuyu wonders if Mel&#039;s Witch appeared to give them a push, and they smile, repeating Mel&#039;s favorite phrase: all things happen when they must. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to see the belongings Mel and Kanae left behind, and Mifuyu gladly accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Pre-Arc 2==&lt;br /&gt;
The following events, while happening likely much earlier, are integral to understanding the story of Arc 2, while being mostly unrelated to other events. For this reason, they have been grouped here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Green Jasper Diviners===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening in late March, Chiharu watches her favorite detective drama at home. After it ends, her mother answers a phone call and becomes visibly shaken. She tells Chiharu they must leave tomorrow for the Tokime Clan&#039;s village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Green Jasper Diviners]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and her mother drive deep into the mountains to a village that does not appear on any map. They are greeted by a villager and brought to the home of Mikoshiba, the elderly head priestess. Mikoshiba explains she summoned them because she wants Chiharu to become a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, two young Diviners, Shizuka and Sunao, visit Chiharu. They explain that Diviners grant wishes to help the nation and fight invisible evil spirits called Devils. To prove it, they demonstrate their powers and defeat a Devil before Chiharu&#039;s eyes. Despite her mother&#039;s concerns, Chiharu decides to become a Diviner. Mikoshiba gives Chiharu her assigned wish: to uncover evidence of crimes being concealed by the National Police Agency.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu participates in the Diviner&#039;s Ceremony. She meets Kyubey, the god&#039;s envoy, and makes her wish. She becomes a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu wakes to find her wish has already come true. A newspaper reports that officials have suddenly reversed their position on the concealed crimes. She excitedly begins combat training with Shizuka&#039;s mother.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the three girls go hunting for Devils together. Chiharu successfully defeats her first Devil. Afterward, she asks what happens when a Diviner&#039;s jewel becomes completely tainted. Shizuka admits she does not know.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Chiharu senses a mysterious, unpleasant smell near the shrine. Shizuka finds her and warns her to stay away from restricted areas. Shizuka then visits Mikoshiba to ask about tainted jewels. Mikoshiba reveals that when a jewel becomes completely tainted, it signifies the Diviner&#039;s coming of age and their time to leave the village. Shizuka is satisfied with this answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu continues sensing the strange smell near the shrine. She investigates but stops herself from going too far. Later that night, a group of Underlings attacks her without a Labyrinth. Shizuka arrives and helps her defeat them. However, Shizuka&#039;s jewel becomes badly tainted from the effort.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Mikoshiba informs Shizuka that her jewel is nearly black and her coming-of-age ceremony will be held tomorrow. Chiharu is saddened but promises to meet Shizuka again outside the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu cannot sleep. She goes to the shrine to watch Shizuka&#039;s ceremony from a distance. She sees Mikoshiba and Shizuka speaking. Shizuka becomes distressed and cries out. Mikoshiba pushes her into the waterfall basin. Chiharu runs to save her and jumps in after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and Shizuka wake up in Sunao&#039;s home. Sunao confesses she was ordered by Mikoshiba to kill anyone who defied the village&#039;s will, including them. She hesitated after hearing Shizuka&#039;s words by the river. Shizuka reveals what Mikoshiba told her during the ceremony: Diviners eventually become Devils, and the &amp;quot;coming-of-age&amp;quot; ceremony is actually a killing ritual to dispose of them. No Diviner has ever left the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three realize the entire village may be inside a Devil&#039;s Labyrinth. They decide to confront Mikoshiba and the Devil.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They split up to search. Chiharu finds her mother and Shizuka&#039;s mother fighting Underlings. Shizuka finds the villagers hiding safely but notices her mother and Chiharu&#039;s mother are missing. Sunao searches Mikoshiba&#039;s house and finds a hidden laptop with audio files recording conversations about selling Diviners&#039; wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They regroup and deduce the Devil is beneath the Grand Shrine. They descend and find Mikoshiba controlling the Devil. She admits everything: the Diviners are sold, killed when used up, and the village exists to produce them for profit. She orders the Devil to kill them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three girls fight together. Chiharu binds the Devil, Shizuka attacks, and Sunao delivers the final blow. They defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikoshiba survives but claims to remember nothing. Sunao confronts her about the recordings. Before she can explain, she bites a hidden poison tooth and dies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu searches Mikoshiba&#039;s body and finds a book written in an ancient script. Because of her family&#039;s tradition, Chiharu and her mother can read it. They stay up all night deciphering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu explains what the book revealed. The Mikoshiba clan were originally guards who seized control of the village centuries ago. They created the rituals, learned to manipulate Devils, and hid the village inside a Labyrinth to produce and sell Diviners. The Wavering Deity is a Devil formed from all the discarded Diviners. Now that the Labyrinth is gone, it is returning to the village. They must defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka&#039;s mother gives them a treasured sword infused with generations of Diviners&#039; power. They intercept the Wavering Deity before it reaches the village. The Devil&#039;s power overwhelms them, and Shizuka nearly gives in to despair. Sunao and Chiharu encourage her. Chiharu reveals the book also described the Tokime&#039;s original beliefs: they chose their own wishes, left the village willingly, and accepted their fate with honor. Shizuka regains her resolve. Together, they use the sword to destroy the Wavering Deity and free the trapped Diviners.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, the village slowly recovers. The adults learn the truth and worry about their future without Mikoshiba&#039;s financial support. The three girls decide to find a way to avoid becoming Devils. They summon Kyubey, who tells them about Kamihama City, where an automatic purification system exists. If they can obtain it, they may escape their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls prepare for their journey. Shizuka struggles with the new terminology used outside, where Diviners are called Magical Girls and Devils are called Witches. Chiharu&#039;s ability to sense malice hasn&#039;t bothered her now that the village is free. Shizuka suggests they first contact all Tokime clan members across the country and recruit Magical Girls willing to join them. Once they are ready, they will travel together to Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The village falls into financial crisis after the elder dies, having squandered most of the wealth on bad investments. Chiharu, inspired by a drama about a Shogun helping villages find their charm, recruits Shizuka and Sunao to help. The two are glad for the change, as most Tokime tribes have been unreceptive to their stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touring the village with Shizuka and Sunao, Chiharu realizes she had been arrogant and now sees its charm—clear river, abundant mountain, kind villagers. The three propose developing tourism. Chiharu’s mother agrees after a trial run with her husband’s family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trial run is messy but the family enjoys the landscape, harvesting, fishing, and hospitality. They give useful feedback, and Chiharu’s uncle notes the village’s unique fruit. They stay overnight and leave pleased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villagers applaud Chiharu for noticing what they had overlooked. Her mother begins a proposal for tourism renovation funds, and the villagers regain their energy, working in tourism and seeking outside jobs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao go to a grocery store, but Shizuka freezes in the crowd, unable to complete a simple purchase because of her sheltered upbringing. Chiharu suggests they ease her into city life with ice cream instead. Shizuka loves it, eating so quickly she gets brain freeze.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way home, Shizuka admits her mother will lecture her again about visiting the city unprepared. She asks if the others’ parents gave them similar advice. Chiharu’s parents only warned her not to waste money or follow strangers, while Sunao confesses she has never told her parents about her excursions—something Shizuka finds surprising given Sunao’s usual obedience. Shizuka advises her to tell them eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Chiharu’s house, her mother brings up a village problem: a surplus of daidaikko fruit needs to be used before it spoils. A villager working in another town found a grocery store willing to feature it in a showcase, but the only available slots are the next two days, and transportation from the village is impossible except by Diviners. Shizuka and Chiharu propose the three of them run the exhibition themselves, which would also help Shizuka adjust to the city. Sunao hesitates but agrees. Chiharu’s mother consents only if they get permission from the store and from Sunao and Shizuka’s parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sunao’s mother interrogates her until she confesses the plan, then spirals into worry about middle schoolers working without a chaperone, carrying heavy loads, and coming home after dark. Sunao asks Chiharu and Shizuka to leave, promising she will convince her parents even if it takes all night. Outside, they reflect on how anxious Sunao’s mother is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sunao has secured permission. At the store, Shizuka volunteers for the cash register but cannot operate it correctly. Sunao is tense because her parents plan to visit the next day. Their first day is a struggle: Shizuka fumbles with the register, Chiharu is distracted by traces of malice in the stocking area, and Sunao gets trapped listening to an elderly customer’s endless stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After closing, Shizuka notes how worried Sunao’s parents seem, prompting Sunao to finally share her wish. She explains that her parents became relentlessly anxious after a trip to Tokime Village, questioning her constantly until she was nearly broken. Kyubey appeared, and she wished to erase the worries her parents had concerning her. The wish worked, but their fears simply shifted—now they worry endlessly about her safety as a magical girl. Sunao feels they are always upset with her, though Chiharu insists they only want her to be safe. Shizuka says Sunao must earn their trust, and tomorrow’s exhibition needs to go perfectly. With her friends’ support, Sunao agrees to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the three tackle the exhibition with renewed determination. The day starts poorly: Shizuka causes another register problem, Chiharu is pulled away by her sense of malice, and Sunao endures a difficult customer—all while Sunao’s parents enter the store. But Shizuka, moved from the register, begins advising the clerks on how to rearrange the store to better showcase the daidaikko. She persuades them to let Chiharu investigate on her own and to trust Sunao with customer service.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu catches a shoplifter who had been repeatedly returning to the store. Sunao’s patience draws crowds after the elderly woman she helped spreads the word, and the exhibition becomes a huge success. Sunao’s parents apologize, saying they realized they had failed to see how capable she has grown. Sunao thanks Chiharu and Shizuka, then asks her parents to allow her to visit Kamihama City; now that she has her friends by her side, she knows she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Crimson Resolve===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, [[Mitsuru Inami]] is approached by Kyubey to become a Magical Girl. Having grown with her mother always telling her she was no good at anything, she wishes to become completely normal, a wish she believes came true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitsuru Inami#Side Story|Mitsuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A Magical Girl transforms into a Witch before her kouhai Yuna Kureha, and Kyubey coldly confirms that all Magical Girls share this fate. The girls of Futatsugi slaughter every Kyubey in the city, and with no incubators left, new Witches stop appearing. Starved for Grief Seeds, the girls grow desperate, and the Bloody Tragedy begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Crimson Resolve]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna now leads Torayamachi, one of the largest gangs in Futatsugi, living by her fallen senpai&#039;s words to avoid hatred and selfishness. When Witches begin reappearing, the rival Ryuugasaki gang learns that Torayamachi has lost their secret weapon known as the Horse, and leader Juri Ooba declares war.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Janomiya, an undercover group of younger girls led by Ao Kasane, a girl named Hikaru accepts recruitment. Ao&#039;s true goal is to assassinate both Yuna and Juri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitsuru is approached by two other girls who mistake her for a new recruit for Torayamachi. Mitsuru joins Yuna&#039;s faction, hoping to blend in, but when Yuna leads them into battle against a rival faction, Mitsuru panics and hides until the fighting ends. After their defeat, Yuna suspects a spy, and fearing suspicion, Mitsuru flees and infiltrates the rival faction instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mitsuru scouts Torayamachi but is spotted, triggering another battle between the factions. During the fight, attacks aimed at Mitsuru unconsciously miss her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt; After this she gains a reputation as a &amp;quot;Ghost Magical Girl,&amp;quot; which has attacks aimed at her always deflected and hitting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna welcomes Hikaru, who claims to be fleeing Ryuugasaki, and assigns her to guard their Grief Seeds. Days pass with no attack, and Yuna&#039;s girls grow restless. To lift their spirits, Yuna reveals that the Horse is alive and watching from the shadows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri&#039;s lieutenants advise waiting to let Torayamachi&#039;s tension wear them down. After interrogating a captured thief, Juri learns of Torayamachi&#039;s defensive preparations and decides to strike in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ao encounters the Bat of Monzenbashi, a former gang leader who once exploited her. With Hikaru&#039;s help, Ao subdues and captures her rather than killing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night before battle, Juri meets Yuna on a bridge. She admits she dragged everyone into this because Yuna would not fight her otherwise, thanks her for accepting her sickness, and promises to burn her down when they next meet. Ao watches from a distance, planning to strike as the snake while the tiger and dragon clash.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the battle begins across multiple bridges. Yuna&#039;s forces push Ranka&#039;s squad back, but Juri breaks through Sakuya&#039;s defense, killing one of her girls. As both sides converge on Monzenbashi, Ao lures both leaders to a construction site where Janomiya lies in wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Janomiya attacks, wounding Juri, Hikaru reveals herself as Torayamachi&#039;s Horse, a spy planted in Janomiya from the beginning. Yuna knew everything. Janomiya is defeated, and Ao surrenders. Yuna spares her life and offers Juri an open door, but Juri swears she will break it down and drag her out. As police sirens wail, Yuna weeps over what she has done.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Juri recovers in an empty base with only Ranka remaining loyal. Ao hunts for Ranka, determined to kill her before joining Torayamachi. Hikaru pleads with Ao to return, promising that Yuna will make her dream come true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna attempts to negotiate with Ryuugasaki girls, but a meeting by the river turns into an ambush. Two of her girls are killed. She fights desperately, thinking of Hikaru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ao reaches Ryuugasaki&#039;s base, finding only the wounded Juri. Juri taunts her, but Ao refuses to join her, still believing in Yuna. Ranka contacts Ao through their video game, asking to meet alone at Janomiya&#039;s base the following night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The meeting is a trap, as Ranka has brought the Bat of Monzenbashi. As Ao fights Ranka and Hikaru fights the Bat, Ranka reveals that Yuna&#039;s meeting is also a trap. Hikaru runs to save Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the river, Yuna is surrounded. Juri arrives and challenges her to a one-on-one fight. At Janomiya&#039;s base, the other Janomiya girls arrive to help Ao corner the Bat. Ranka sincerely apologizes for everything, and Ao hesitates to deliver the final blow. At the river, Hikaru engages Juri to protect Yuna, whose Soul Gem is badly tainted. Juri refuses to kill her in this state and retreats, promising to fight again when Yuna is at full strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Most of Torayamachi has left, following Yuna&#039;s instructions to join Ryuugasaki and avoid more bloodshed. Only Hikaru remains, refusing to leave her. Ao admits she has gained respect for Yuna but remains undecided about joining.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakuya brings the missing Torayamachi girl home. The girl reveals she went to Kamihama City and joined the Wings of the Magius, an organization that built a system to lure Witches from across the country, preventing them from appearing elsewhere. The Bloody Tragedy was their fault. Yuna, hearing the screams of her fallen comrades, vows to make Kamihama pay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri meet at the construction site where Yuna&#039;s senpai died. Yuna, running on pure rage, demands Juri become hers and help with her revenge. She overpowers the wounded Juri and prepares to kill her, but Hikaru intervenes, embracing Yuna and calming her down. Ao arrives with Kyubey, who confirms everything and offers to help them reach Kamihama in exchange for a truce. Yuna accepts, and Juri, Ao, Ranka, Sakuya, and Hikaru agree to join her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, Juri, Ao, and Hikaru visit the sites where their friends died, offering flowers and vowing revenge. Yuna, Juri, and Ao drink each other&#039;s blood, swearing to never fight again. They are Promised Blood. That night, their path to Kamihama begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Ash Grey Revolution===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Yukuni, Asahi learns from classmates that the stone monument she discovered will be researched. She meets fellow magical girls Lavi and Sasha when they respond to a distress call, only to witness two magical girls witch out before them when no Grief Seeds are available. Kyubey confirms this fate, and Asahi shoots him. A local girl named Urara Yume witnesses everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Ash Grey Revolution]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, the trio struggles with the truth. Lavi is forced to reveal her identity to save her friend Shirogane from a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Sasha asks the others to be her friends and help her face reality. They begin fighting together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara begins subtly supporting them on her internet broadcast with Kurara. Asahi saves her classmate Kuroda from a Witch&#039;s Kiss, revealing her identity. He asks her to help him confess to Haitani at the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara seeks out the trio and learns the truth about Magical Girls. She offers to introduce them as guests on her festival broadcast to tell Yukuni about their existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Yukuni All-star Festival, the trio sense the Witches of the two original girls. While fighting them, one Witch escapes. A truck explodes at the festival grounds, killing Haitani. Kuroda blames Asahi and all magical girls, vowing revenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following week, public backlash intensifies. Kuroda forms an extermination group against magical girls while Shirogane forms a protector group. The trio witness another girl witch out after being cornered. Lavi takes responsibility publicly on a broadcast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio endure daily harassment. They meet folklorist Tasuke Satomi, who takes a knife for Asahi and explains his theory about magical girls being erased from history by an unseen force. He wants to help them try again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Public opinion slowly shifts. The six remaining magical girls work together, restoring some trust. Three of them sacrifice themselves rather than witch out, asking Kuroda to make peace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1725.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At a unity ceremony, the Witch that caused the festival explosion appears. Asahi summons the dead to help the exterminators find closure. The summoned spirits suddenly relive their final moments, causing a bus to crash and kill everyone aboard, including Shirogane. Urara contracts to save her dying friend Kurara, who then rejects her for letting others die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tasuke theorizes the universe&#039;s immune system caused this. He suggests eliminating all Magical Girls and Witches to create a custom preventing future contracts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the days following, students blame the trio. Kyubey suggests they go to Kamihama City to observe attempts there to publicize magical girls. Tasuke agrees they should investigate. Lavi holds a broken pocket watch with five minutes remaining until midnight, when she will finally give up. Tasuke calls it the folklore of midnight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Arc 2 Prologue===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a long time before the start of Arc 2, but it is central to its story. To keep up linearity, it&#039;s been placed here despite likely taking place a long time ago, possibly during the time of Mirrors Story, which takes place during the Undated Period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kagome Satori]], a recent transfer student, is attacked by a Familiar in the Mirrors Labyrinth. The creature demands she sign a &amp;quot;Written Oath&amp;quot; to destroy Magical Girls. Kagome, who doesn&#039;t know anything about Magical Girls, is terrified and considers writing her name on the document to appease it, however Iroha arrives and defeats the Familiar.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Kagome learns the truth about Magical Girls and Witches. She is distressed that Magical Girls fight and die in secret, unknown and unthanked by the people they protect. Tasuke Satomi advises Kagome that, as someone who knows the truth, her role is to &amp;quot;record&amp;quot; and spread awareness of the Magical Girls&#039; plight, as this could be a way to save them. Kagome decides against making a contract with Kyubey, prioritizing this promise to record their reality. Kyubey explains that the system, where Magical Girls become Witches, is necessary for the universe&#039;s energy and humanity&#039;s survival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Doctorina wishes for world anti-peace.&lt;br /&gt;
** Drew Barrymore wishes for rain etc.&lt;br /&gt;
So that the story can progress easier.&lt;br /&gt;
--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Many girls make contracts during this time and the exact order is difficult to determine. Below is an approximation:&lt;br /&gt;

** [[Sana Futaba|Sana]] becomes a magical girl.{{Citation needed}}&lt;br /&gt;
** [[Manaka Kurumi|Manaka]] becomes a magical girl.{{Citation needed}}&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey offers [[Kanoko Yayoi]] a contract. While considering her wish, she imagines an elaborate future where she becomes a fashion designer despite her family&#039;s expectations for her to inherit their metal factory. In this vision, she wishes for her parents to work happily for another thirty years, giving her time to pursue her dream. After making her wish, she pursues fashion but faces rejection from Ria, Nanaka, and Rena, who all criticize her designs harshly. Depressed, she agrees to lecture on accessories at a festival workshop using skills her father taught her, where she becomes emotional. Emiri asks to see her designs and calls them weird but exciting, suggesting they need accessories. Inspired, Kanoko realizes she can fuse fashion with her family&#039;s metalworking techniques. She opens her eyes to find no time has passed and confirms her wish to Kyubey remains the one she imagined.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanoko Yayoi#Side Story|Kanoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* After destroying a Witch, Momoko spots the boy she used to like with another girl, lamenting her bad timing. To distract herself, she goes to the mall, where she sees a girl arguing with a man over seat trading for a live event. Despite initially hesitating, Momoko intervenes, citing the event rules, and the man leaves. The girl, Rena Minami, thanks her, and they bond over their interest in the idol group LinkS before heading to their seats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;momokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko Togame#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko enjoys the event but notices a man with a Witch&#039;s Kiss pushing through the crowd. She enters the Barrier and is shocked to find Rena already inside. Though Rena struggles to harm the Witch, she uses her ability to shapeshift into Momoko, and together they defeat it. Afterward, Momoko praises Rena, admitting she envies her ability to become someone else. Rena reassures Momoko that she doesn&#039;t need to change, given her kindness to strangers. Momoko confides that she has always felt inadequate, particularly about not being feminine enough, which she believes hurt her chances with the boy she liked. When Rena asks why Momoko is opening up to her, Momoko says they have a lot in common. Realizing how late it has gotten, they exchange contact information and head home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;momokoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, after another joint Witch fight, Momoko and Rena banter playfully. Rena brings up the boy Momoko likes, encouraging her that she still has a chance. Momoko reveals that her chance has already passed, explaining that she made a contract with Kyubey to gain the courage to confess, only to arrive just as another girl beat her to it. As Momoko nearly trips, Rena catches her, teasing her bad timing but promising she&#039;ll be fine now because she has Rena. Momoko hugs her, reflecting that if she hadn&#039;t become a Magical Girl, she never would have met Rena. She decides that maybe her timing wasn&#039;t so bad after all and wonders if she was destined to become a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;momokoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Rena and Momoko defeat a Witch together, and Rena reflects that having a friend is better than being alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;renass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rena Minami#Side Story|Rena&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Momoko is late for a live concert they had planned to attend. She calls Rena to say something came up, and Rena learns she is at the seaside park. When Rena arrives, Momoko explains she stopped to help another Magical Girl fight a Witch. Rena correctly guesses Momoko played the hero and, after Momoko reassures the girl whose name Rena doesn&#039;t catch, cuts off further conversation to remind her about the concert. They leave together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;renass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Momoko tells Rena she met the girl again and learned her name is Kaede Akino. Momoko asks if they can invite Kaede to join their team. Rena spaces out and says she doesn&#039;t know what to think. In the following days, Rena decides to pretend the question never happened, hoping things will stay the same.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;renass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko invites Rena to a cafe, and Rena is relieved until she finds Kaede is also there. Momoko repeats her wish to add Kaede to their team. Rena blurts out that Kaede is dumb and will only hold them back. When Momoko tells her to stop, Rena runs off, insisting this is her true self.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;renass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena remembers her childhood of being bullied at school because her family constantly moved, a pain she never shared with her parents. She found solace in watching idol concert DVDs. After being teased one day, she hurried home to listen to a new song and realized idols were everything she was not—she despised who she had become. When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Rena wished to become someone else, gaining the power to transform into other people, but she notes she never really changed at all. Now, she thinks she has ruined everything with Momoko and wonders if she should disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;renass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A week passes, during which Rena ignores all of Momoko&#039;s messages. Momoko texts asking where she is. Rena spots Momoko and Kaede together and decides they belong together. She resolves to give up and return to being alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;renass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Rena fights a Witch while transformed into Momoko. She calls herself an idiot and deliberately lets the Witch attack her. Kaede saves her, and Momoko arrives. Rena asks why Kaede would help her, calls herself an idiot again, and runs off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;renass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another week passes, and Rena has shut off her phone entirely. She spots Momoko and panics, transforming into Kaede. Momoko thanks &amp;quot;Kaede&amp;quot; for helping look for Rena and invites her to a cafe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;renass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the cafe, &amp;quot;Kaede&amp;quot; tells Momoko to give up searching for Rena, listing all her flaws. Momoko stops her, saying she likes Rena for who she is. Momoko then calls &amp;quot;Kaede&amp;quot; by Rena&#039;s name, pointing out the sugar in her tea and her behavior as giveaways. Rena changes back and cries as Momoko comforts her. She apologizes for being jealous of Kaede.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;renass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Rena, Momoko, and Kaede fight a Witch together. Afterward, Rena apologizes to Kaede and thanks her for saving her life. She tries to ask Kaede to join the team but instead awkwardly asks if Kaede will become her servant. Kaede happily agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;renass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede fights a Witch but starts losing. She thinks back to how she became a Magical Girl. A high-rise apartment was being built in front of her house, threatening to block out the sun, ruin her family garden, and make her pets act out. Kyubey arrived and made his offer. Kaede wished that the construction never started and while the construction stopped, Kaede has been in a constant state of panic ever since.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kaedess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kaede Akino#Side Story|Kaede&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Rena and Momoko save her. Rena apologizes for rejecting Kaede and hesitantly asks if Kaede will become her valet. Kaede agrees despite Momoko&#039;s protests. The three agree to fight together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kaedess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kaede plays a crane game at the arcade but fails miserably. Rena appears, wins the toy Kaede wanted, and claims it is an apology present. They affirm their new friendship. Rena offers to teach Kaede how to win, but it does not seem to work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kaedess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede, Momoko, and Rena team up against a Witch. Kaede is unable to attack when Rena asks her to. Rena scolds her while Momoko tells her to cheer up. Kaede begins to think she is useless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kaedess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group splits up to cover more ground on a Witch hunt. Kaede is too afraid to accept this but feels she cannot get in their way. She stumbles into the Witch&#039;s barrier and finds a Familiar. Rena tells her to follow it to the Witch&#039;s location instead of fighting it. Kaede becomes too scared to continue. The barrier disappears, and she sees Momoko and Rena. Kaede apologizes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kaedess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group confronts the Familiar and follows it to the Witch. Kaede says they should stop, thinking the Familiar is tricking them. Rena yells at Kaede for letting it escape the first time. Momoko tells Rena to stop and tells Kaede to stick close. The group confronts the Witch but cannot move. The Witch attacks and deals Momoko heavy damage. Outside the barrier, Kaede thinks it is all her fault. Rena thinks it is hers. Momoko tells them not to worry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kaedess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede tells Momoko she wants to leave the team, saying she has only caused them trouble. She asks Momoko to tell Rena and runs off. Momoko tells Rena what happened. Rena thinks it is her fault. Momoko explains she added Kaede because she is careful when they are not. Momoko implies Rena should make up with Kaede.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kaedess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena finds Kaede playing the crane game again and asks how long she will continue when she cannot win. Rena apologizes for not listening. She explains her idol theory: in idol groups, different personalities are needed, and she thinks a Magical Girl team is similar. She wins the toy Kaede was trying to get and tells Kaede she is needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kaedess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rena waits at the arcade with Momoko. Momoko thinks Kaede is not coming, but she appears. Kaede claims she was late because she was trying to win presents. She gives copies of the toy Rena won to Momoko and Rena as proof of their team. Kaede admits she spent five thousand yen trying to get both gifts. Rena says it was worth it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kaedess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* During this time, [[Tsuruno Yui|Tsuruno]] becomes a magical girl and gains infamy for dueling other magical girls.{{Citation needed}}&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo hosts Momoko, Rena, and Kaede at her home. Momoko reveals she met Yachiyo two years ago when she first became a magical girl, and Kaede is amazed to learn Yachiyo has six years of experience. After Yachiyo brings out snacks, the girls ask her safe questions until Rena steals a donut, but Yachiyo immediately identifies the culprit from the sugar around Rena&#039;s lips. As they prepare to leave, Momoko mentions the Dueling Girl, a magical girl who randomly challenges others. Yachiyo thanks them and says she will alert her friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yachiyoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Momoko&#039;s team encounters the Dueling Girl, who introduces herself as Tsuruno Yui. She declares she wants to become the strongest magical girl to restore honor to her family name. Yachiyo arrives and agrees to be her opponent. During their fight, Yachiyo uses a dummy to trick Tsuruno and traps her in rope. When Tsuruno asks to be finished, Yachiyo instead frees her and questions why she truly wants strength. Tsuruno struggles to answer coherently.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yachiyoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Tsuruno fight six more times over the following days, with Yachiyo winning each battle. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno that magical girls should be friends rather than hurt each other, and Tsuruno runs off crying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yachiyoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Momoko&#039;s team encounters Tsuruno again. When Yachiyo arrives, she finds Momoko unconscious. Rena accuses Tsuruno of attacking, but Yachiyo realizes something is wrong and attacks Tsuruno, who transforms into a familiar. Yachiyo explains a witch set a trap and captured the real Tsuruno. They rescue Tsuruno, who then asks to become Yachiyo&#039;s apprentice. Tsuruno stops dueling afterward and becomes friends with Yachiyo and Momoko&#039;s team, though the narration notes their bond would later be shattered by a future incident.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yachiyoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Tsuruno finishes a practice fight with Rena and challenges Momoko Togame and Kaede Akino, though the three are reluctant. When Momoko asks why she wants to be so strong, Tsuruno explains that her family&#039;s Chinese restaurant has been in decline since her father took over, while her grandmother and mother care only about luxuries and even tried to sell family keepsakes. She wished to win the lottery, but her grandmother and mother took the money and left on a cruise, though Tsuruno insists they are just on a trip. She believes that becoming strong like her grandfather and great-grandfather will solve everything and restore her family&#039;s honor. Rena shows her an online advice stand in Kamihama and suggests she visit, so Tsuruno decides to go the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsuruno Yui#Side Story|Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsuruno visits Emiri&#039;s Room, where Akira guides her to counselor Emiri. Emiri tells her she needs training, not exercise, explaining that training should be super hard. Tsuruno understands and realizes she needs to fight herself rather than others. Emiri suggests Akira, who is strong at karate, as a teacher, and Akira reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurunoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Akira and Tsuruno track down a lost dog together. Tsuruno realizes that being counted on makes Akira strong, and Akira admits she lacks confidence in her own teaching ability. After an incident where Tsuruno runs through a garden to catch the dog, Akira suggests finding someone more suited to be her teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurunoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Akira introduces Tsuruno to Meiyui Chun, who is strong at kenpou. Meiyui initially refuses to teach, citing her master&#039;s rules and her own inexperience, but Tsuruno insists she will do anything. Akira admits she brought Tsuruno because she lacks confidence, and Meiyui finally agrees, bringing Tsuruno to work part time at a factory carrying heavy items. Tsuruno throws herself into the work, impressing everyone with her strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurunoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Tsuruno leaves the factory in tears and meets Yachiyo Nanami. She confesses she tripped and scattered parts, and everyone&#039;s reassurance only made her feel worse. She fears she has accomplished nothing and will lose her restaurant and family. Yachiyo tells her to focus on small tasks rather than the big picture, as accomplishing little things will bring rewards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurunoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsuruno returns to Emiri&#039;s stand to apologize and finds Akira with Meiyui. Meiyui reveals the factory manager wants her back, and Akira shares that the lost dog&#039;s owner was overjoyed. Surprised by the praise, Tsuruno accepts Meiyui&#039;s offer to help again. Later, she tells Yachiyo her training was a success and challenges her to a fight, but Yachiyo declines and runs off to call Momoko&#039;s group instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurunoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Mifuyu and Momoko, along side Tsuruno, Rena and Kaede, return to Toyozuru City to investigate Sumire&#039;s &amp;quot;disappearance&amp;quot; along side the disappearance of one of Rena&#039;s favorite Idol bands in Toyuzuru, meeting there a Magical Girl named [[Fuka Higure|Fuka]].&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crescent2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Mikazuki Villa return again to Toyuzuru City after Yachiyo concludes that Fuka and Sumire are working together. Mel meets Fuka again and feels that she isn&#039;t a bad person, and after learning the truth of magical girls tunring into Witches and almost falling in despair, Sumire makes a contract with Kyubey to save them, erasing herself from their memories and the events that happened in Toyuzuru City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crescent3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Tsukasa Amane|Tsukasa]] and [[Tsukuyo Amane|Tsukuyo]] become magical girls.{{Citation needed}}&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi serves as peacekeeper of the East Side while Yachiyo serves as peacekeeper of the West Side, with her partner Mifuyu helping maintain their system of sharing witches and respecting Central Ward as neutral territory. When a severe witch shortage leads magical girls from both sides to encroach on Central, conflicts erupt. After Momoko is attacked in a Barrier by someone claiming to be from the opposite side, Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet with Kanagi to negotiate. Kanagi reveals her own girls have been attacked similarly, and both incidents occurred in the same barrier. Using her mindreading powers, Kanagi confirms they are telling the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;breakpoint&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Breakpoint|Breakpoint]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
** As tensions escalate with more attacks on both sides, Yachiyo and Mifuyu investigate the barrier themselves and discover it belongs to the Mirror Witch, which separates them and weakens Mifuyu&#039;s magic. They retreat, realizing something larger is at play.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;breakpoint&#039;/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, stories of East and West fighting in Central spread. Yachiyo beats up girls from Sankyou and Sakae when they try to push past her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;breakpoint&#039;/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* A day later, the stalemate continues as Westsiders want to incorporate Central into their territory, which Yachiyo warns would create greater conflict.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;breakpoint&#039;/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
** The situation worsens with more fights and casualties. Mifuyu meets Hinano in Central, who berates her for allowing the chaos and agrees to help calm Central&#039;s girls only if Mifuyu takes real action. When Mel is accused of an attack she could not have committed, Mifuyu realizes someone is deliberately pitting both sides against each other. She spreads the word hoping to stop the fighting.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;breakpoint&#039;/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* At their next meeting, Kanagi confirms all attacked girls were in the same witch&#039;s barrier. They deduce the Mirror Witch is responsible and decide to return together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;breakpoint&#039;/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
** They find the barrier has grown, fed by the conflicts. Inside, they are separated and confronted by mirror duplicates. Mifuyu defeats her duplicate, which taunts her about losing her powers. She rescues Kanagi from a duplicate Yachiyo. After confirming identities using Kanagi&#039;s powers, they find the others and defeat more duplicates before withdrawing, exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;breakpoint&#039;/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, they realize they cannot simply prohibit entry to Central. Kanagi and Mifuyu devise a plan: they will require anyone who wants to negotiate with Central to first defeat the Mirror Witch, while guaranteeing Central&#039;s safety and establishing punishments for pact-breakers. As they part, Mifuyu asks Kanagi to help Yachiyo if she is no longer around. Kanagi promises.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;breakpoint&#039;/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;

Due to his illness, the head students take over, turn their back on tradition and shut out the Tokiwa family.

** After his death, Kyubey appears to her. Nanaka wishes for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand. She gains the power to identify who her enemies are. This ability makes her realize the target of her revenge is not a student but a Witch. This witch behaves like a locust swarm, causing calamities in one area before migrating. The Locust Witch also controls the current head of her father&#039;s school via a Witch&#039;s Kiss, as well a being responsible for several issues in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako, asking for their help fighting the Locust Witch they all have a connection to. To explain, Nanaka tells them how she became a Magical Girl and what her magic allowed her to surmise. She explains the Witch is also behind incidents in Kamihama where people were forced to sell their land, which connects to Meiyui, as well as causing Kako&#039;s bookstore to burn down, and even Akira met Nanaka while fighting one of the Witch&#039;s Familiars.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but says she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders as a member of the Blue Seas family. Nanaka is fine with this, claiming the details are unimportant. Her plan is to investigate suspicious areas until they find the Witch&#039;s Barrier and then destroy it together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon, Nanaka&#039;s team are able to track down and defeat the Witch. Meiyui is impressed by how Nanaka reacted to her actions rather than giving orders, thus she also accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka explains it is not over, as the Witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully grown Familiar.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret. In the past, she found a Soul Gem while chasing a familiar. She then found the seemingly dead body of a girl. She placed the Soul Gem in the girl&#039;s hands, and the girl started breathing again. Kyubey explains that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey asks if Nanaka will tell the other magical girls the secret. Nanaka says she is waiting for the right moment. Then she thinks about her true revenge target: Kyubey. Her power makes it clear he is her enemy. She is waiting for the right time to turn against him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Nanaka&#039;s team is still unable to find the original Locust Witch.

* Ayame brings Hazuki to meet Kako and Felicia. They get along. Ayame wonders if wanting to play with them is a bad thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;andsotheazaleasbloom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rumors spread that magical girls are collapsing after fights. The suspects are believed to be magical girls using their powers to cause it. Another rumor claims Hazuki and Ayame&#039;s team is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;andsotheazaleasbloom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Kako and Felicia warn Ayame and Hazuki about the rumors. Kako says Nanaka believes they are being set up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;andsotheazaleasbloom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The trio meets Yachiyo. She explains Momoko was attacked and briefly lost consciousness. Someone is blaming the trio. Yachiyo says she was present and their magical signatures do not match, so she knows they are innocent. She apologizes and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;andsotheazaleasbloom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Konoha suggests leaving Kamihama. Hazuki argues they should stay and clear their names. Ayame agrees with Hazuki. Konoha reluctantly agrees to stay longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;andsotheazaleasbloom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days pass and Hazuki investigates. She contacts Momoko and asks for help finding the real culprit. Momoko agrees after seeing Hazuki&#039;s sincerity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;andsotheazaleasbloom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Konoha and Ayame go to buy bentos. At the store, Rena and Kaede confront them. Rena wants to fight to see the truth. Konoha fights Rena. Yachiyo arrives and tells them to stop. Suddenly Ayame collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;andsotheazaleasbloom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha accuses Rena of attacking her. Rena insists she did not. Konoha turns on everyone, screaming someone here attacked Ayame. She sees visions and becomes convinced they must crush all other magical girls. She transforms and prepares to attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;andsotheazaleasbloom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayame steps in front of her, saying this is wrong. Konoha tries to move past but is blocked by Yachiyo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;andsotheazaleasbloom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki and Momoko arrive. Hazuki reveals she has been working with Momoko to find the culprit. Konoha is hurt. Hazuki says they need to trust others. Konoha cries, admitting she is scared of losing anyone else important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;andsotheazaleasbloom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayame reveals she made friends with Kako. Hazuki admits she suggested keeping it a secret. Konoha flashes back to the Director telling them to support each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;andsotheazaleasbloom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hazuki and Momoko try to find the origin of the rumor, but the trail goes cold. Yachiyo and Konoha agree the attacker was not present when Ayame collapsed, so they vow to expose the culprit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;andsotheazaleasbloom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Kyubey speaks to the culprit, [[Hanna Sarasa]], who attacked only Momoko and Ayame, spread the rumors, and hypnotized Konoha. She claims she did it on a whim and Kyubey notes that if witches are disasters, she is, for now, chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;andsotheazaleasbloom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina Gray wins a Modern Art award for a self‑portrait. Students at her school spread a rumor that she could not think of anything to make, snapped all the wood in the prep room, and only got the idea to paint herself when she was about to break the canvas. She had a junior take a photo, then drew herself and coated the image in sand. Alina overhears this while at school. In the clubroom, she takes the strawberry milk from Karin, who says it is mean, but Alina says it is meaner to gossip. Karin reminds Alina that she was happy to win and was the one who took the photo, but Alina dismisses her and leaves, thinking she creates art simply to create.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Alina Gray#Side Story|Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina is called to the teacher&#039;s room to meet a judge, but she refuses and runs away. A teacher scolds her, but Alina remains obstinate and eventually flees. Karin later finds her at a restaurant and gives her a letter from the judge. The letter says her work is beautiful and arcane enough to drive viewers insane, but it has no external theme and is like a powerful drug. It warns her to stop creating if she does not want to change the world, because her brilliance will probably run out by age fifteen. Alina does not understand the letter, but it affects her deeply.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina visits an art gallery exhibiting her works. She reviews a poster of her past works, which explains that her parents ran an art gallery, and after her dog and grandparents died at age eight, she became fascinated with the boundary between life and death. She created her first artwork at eleven and later drew a picture using charcoal from carbonized corpses. She admits she does not know why she creates art. In the clubroom, she destroys a painting she worked on all week, saying it is not exciting or emotional enough. Karin tries to show her manga, but Alina asks what theme Karin has in mind, and Karin says she draws to make readers feel better. Alina realizes Karin has something she lacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina decides her brilliance will fade at fifteen, so she plans a final artwork: destroying herself. Kyubey appears and offers her a contract, but she refuses to solve her problems with a wish, saying it would not be herself anymore. She wishes for &amp;quot;an area where nobody can disturb me,&amp;quot; then jumps off a roof with a video camera recording. She lands in a field of flowers, but she survives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While unconscious, Alina realizes she always had a theme: her own beauty. She wakes up in the hospital and finds Karin crying. Alina admits she does not feel alive, but Karin grabs her hands and says she is alive. Karin gives her a copy of her manga and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi visit Alina in the hospital. They were the ones who found her. Alina thanks them. Touka asks if she is the famous Alina Gray, and Nemu says her artwork &amp;quot;Psychedelic Adolescent Hymn&amp;quot; had many young visitors. Nemu gives her a flyer about her art. Alina realizes it is a picture of her destroying her artwork. Touka and Nemu ask for her thanks and want to talk with her. Alina is confused but agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Kyubey appears and says Touka and Nemu have the same potential she does. He explains that becoming a Magical Girl saved her life. Alina admits her final artwork failed, but she found her theme, and she will not stop creating. She transforms and enters a Witch&#039;s barrier, laughing as she fights. She declares that her next art will be made from Witches, and she will show everyone her beauty until they become drunk on it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* At some point during this time, Touka Satomi reads a book written by her uncle titled “Magical Girls: Their Hope and Despair.” Her uncle asks readers to keep an open mind to all possibilities. He describes how civilization exists thanks to Magical Girls. This iss Touka’s first exposure to the world of Magical Girls. Touka loves the book, though her father disapproves. She wonders if the book had anything to do with her uncle’s disappearance. She reads about a creature called “Kyubey” and assumes the name is a code or acronym. She decides to search the internet for information.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream|Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka is at the hospital. She learns that Ui is soon to be discharged as she had mysteriously recovered from her illness. Nemu is surprised at how quickly Ui recovered, and Touka is glad Ui is better, but sad to see her friend go. She would rather Ui be alive and well than close to death, as she was when she lost consciousness and her brain activity almost ceased. Touka says she would not mind becoming a Magical Girl if it were for Ui’s sake and hopes Ui will still visit them. Ui promises to visit when she returns for follow‑up tests. She swears she will not visit any of the places on their map until both Touka and Nemu are well enough to join her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, Touka awakens in a bizarre world: a Witch’s barrier. She calls out for Nemu and Ui, who were also pulled in. Ui points to a familiar nearby and Touka begins to hyperventilate. The familiar approaches, but they&#039;re saved by Iroha, in her Magical Girl form. Kyubey calls to Iroha, telling her the direction the Witch is heading. Iroha is more concerned about her sister and her friends and Touka recognizes the creature before her as Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Touka is safe at home and Kyubey appears before her. Touka asks if she qualifies to be a Magical Girl. Kyubey asks what she would like to wish for. Touka has several questions first. She attempts to hack into the hivemind that all Kyubeys share. Before she can tap into the network, Kyubey teleports out of the room and severs the connection. Kyubey warns that if he had not severed the connection, all of her computers would have been fried. Kyubey offers to answer any questions. They talk long into the night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next morning, Touka returns to the hospital and finds Nemu and Ui talking about Iroha. Iroha has not stopped fighting monsters since the barrier incident. Ui is worried it may be taking a toll on her sister. Nemu is not sure how they can help without knowing what is going on. Touka confidently declares that Iroha must be a Magical Girl. Nemu thinks Touka is joking, but she is serious. She relays everything she learned from Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka then explains her plan to save Iroha from her fate of turning into a Witch. The pros of being a Magical Girl are a healthy body with increased stamina. The con is that you must battle Witches until one day you become a Witch. If they can remove that fate, there will be no downsides to becoming a Magical Girl. This would also benefit mankind. If they can eliminate the need for Grief Seeds, no girl would have to become a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka does not believe Kyubey would allow a wish to erase the fate of all Magical Girls. Instead, they will each wish to steal one of Kyubey’s powers. Ui will wish for the power to harvest impurities and pass them to Touka. Touka will wish for the power to convert impurities into magic that all Magical Girls can use. She will pass this magic to Nemu, who will wish for the power to manifest that magic into an automatic purification system. In theory, the three of them will create a system that gathers energy automatically and delivers it to outer space to combat entropy, just like Kyubey does. Ui understands the plan and agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next late afternoon, in front of the hospital, Kyubey meets Touka, Nemu, and Ui. He asks for their wishes. They make their wishes for the different powers Kyubey possesses, where Ui wishes for his ability to absorb impurities, Touka for his power to transform energy, and Nemu for his ability to manifest. Kyubey warns they may not have enough karmic energy and that even he does not know what will happen. They agree to make the wishes for all their dreams. As their wishes are granted, Kyubey’s ear rings fall off. He shrinks into a small Kyubey, [[Lil&#039; Kyubey]].&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls stare at the shrunken Kyubey and Touka begins to commence their plan. Ui’s face contorts in pain and she screams. Her ability to harvest impurities automatically overwhelms her with the massive amounts of despair she is absorbing. If they do not hurry, Ui will become a Witch before they can act.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka attempts to convert the impurities into magic, yet the amount of despair is too much and Touka cannot keep up without burning through all her magic. Nemu attempts to manifest some magic, but the despair is far too much for either of them. Alina appears, bothered by the large amounts of impurities gathering there. She transforms and uses her magic to create a forcefield around the hospital. This cuts off the impurities Ui keeps absorbing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Ui’s Soul Gem has already absorbed a disturbing amount of despair and it is at risk of becoming a Witch at any moment. Nemu decides to risk everything by manifesting one of her stories. Without their human personality and emotions, a Witch cannot be created, thus Nemu plans to take Ui’s soul out of her body. Touka points out that without a vessel, Ui’s soul will dissipate and Nemu spies the small empty Kyubey. Since Incubators have no emotion or personality of their own, she decides to house Ui’s soul there. She does not know what might happen, but this is the only plan that may work until they can figure out what to do and return Ui’s soul to her body. Nemu manifests one of her stories as an [[Uwasa]] and the process is completed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Ui&#039;s existence is wiped from everyone&#039;s memory, and so are all traces of her existence due to this process. Ui&#039;s body turns retains her unique magic to collect impurities and it turns into a Witch-like form.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Once the transfer is complete, Alina finds she cannot remember why she came to the hospital roof. She recalls she came to check on Touka and Nemu, but she cannot remember the reason. She remembers jumping from the roof of the hospital and how Touka and Nemu were the ones to find her. She was checked into the same hospital as them. She told them about the many places in Kamihama. She saved them when a Witch attacked. She then discovered a Half‑Witch in the hospital lobby that was absorbing energy. She saved Touka and Nemu from it afterwards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They talked and came up with a plan to use the Half‑Witch to achieve their goals. Alina wanted to use Witches as material for her best artwork yet. Touka wanted to become healthy and make a deal with Kyubey to learn about the universe. Nemu also wished to become healthy and use the world as her parchment. With the automatic purification system in place, they could sustain the universe while also isolating their world from Kyubey and make all of their dreams a reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls now believe they have successfully captured the Half‑Witch and contracted at just the right time. They turn to Alina and offer her some of their magic so she can extend the hospital’s forcefield to encompass all of Kamihama and keep Kyubey out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, inside Hanna, Mikoto experiences their shared memories and feels the warmth of their friendship, which softens the hatred consuming her from when she became a Witch. When Mikoto appears before Hanna as a sort of apparition only she could see, Hanna reveals she had always sensed Mikoto&#039;s presence and was overjoyed to see her again, though neither could touch the other. After they come to understand their situation, Hanna suggests they destroy the city together, seeking revenge against the system that betrayed them. Mikoto agrees, and they begin using enthralled Witches to sow chaos and make Magical Girls fight each other. They move constantly to avoid attachment, targeting families and schools while collecting Grief Seeds to sustain themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* While passing through a cemetery, Mikoto sees her mother crying before a tombstone with her name on it. She confesses to Hanna that she lied about her family and school. Hanna admits she suspected the truth from their exchange diary. To make Mikoto happy, they vandalize Mikoto&#039;s school together, also writing her honest feelings on a blackboard before escaping through a window, feeling truly free for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The day before the confrontation, Nanaka&#039;s team visits Mitama. Nanaka theorizes a Magical Girl capable of controlling Witches is behind the incidents. Mitama recalls a girl with suggestion magic named Mikoto Sena and directs them to Kanagi, who had met her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;theflowerslament&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Late that night, Kanagi meets Nanaka in a park. Kanagi confirms Mikoto&#039;s existence but reveals Mikoto and her family disappeared. She asks to investigate Mikoto herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;theflowerslament&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, the trio confronts Kanagi. Using Mito&#039;s power, they enter Kanagi&#039;s memories and learn about Mikoto&#039;s friend, Hanna Sarasa, who can copy a girl&#039;s unique magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;theflowerslament&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day, Ayame secretly meets Kako at a park. Both girls are manipulated by suggestion magic, causing them to argue. Nanaka intervenes, but Ayame runs off crying. Nanaka realizes an enemy Magical Girl is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;theflowerslament&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Hanna&#039;s realized that Mikoto&#039;s persona consumes magic like fuel and will vanish permanently if she runs out. Her own Soul Gem deteriorates rapidly from sharing her magic, and her Grief Seed collection is nearly empty. Mikoto&#039;s hatred grows stronger as she has visions of Magical Girls becoming Witches, coming from her connection to her Witch, and she struggles to control herself. When she confesses she is on borrowed time, they have their first fight, and Mikoto disappears from shame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She soon returns to find Hanna&#039;s Soul Gem nearly black, with no Grief Seeds left and no power to hunt Witches. Hanna reflects on her life, admitting she no longer believes in her old wish to erase people she hated. She tells Mikoto that evil must be defeated or there will be nothing worth saving. Mikoto asks to die together, but Hanna refuses, saying she is happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the hideout, Konoha and Hazuki don&#039;t remember Ayame leaving. Ayame accuses them of tricking her. Konoha realizes they are being manipulated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;theflowerslament&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno bursts in, followed by Yachiyo, Nanaka&#039;s team, and the Mito trio. Reira reveals Hanna Sarasa as the culprit. As she speaks the name, Hanna reveals herself, admits everything, freezes everyone with her magic, and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;theflowerslament&#039;/&amp;gt; Hanna had deliberately made herself easy to find because she wants to be defeated, believing it will prove there are still good things in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group splits up to search. The Konoha sisters find Hanna in an abandoned building. She admits she framed them because it was fun. Yachiyo and Tsuruno join the fight, but Hanna escapes again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;theflowerslament&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Mito trio waits on a rooftop. Hanna arrives and hints that Mikoto defeated a Witch but lost in the end. She prepares to kill Mito, but Akira blocks the attack. Nanaka&#039;s team arrives and fights Hanna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;theflowerslament&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka appears and attacks, having used her team until then to wear Hanna down. Hanna reveals she knew Nanaka before she became a Magical Girl and deliberately ruined her life. Nanaka breaks free and attacks Hanna. During the battle, Nanaka targets Hanna&#039;s Soul Gem but hesitates to deliver the final blow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;theflowerslament&#039;/&amp;gt; Frustrated, Hanna grabs her own Soul Gem back from Nanaka as Mikoto pleads with her not to do what she intends. In the last moment, Hanna uses her magic to force Mikoto&#039;s persona into another Magical Girl nearby, then shatters her own Soul Gem while Mikoto screams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayo&#039;/&amp;gt; After Hanna dies, her spirit hugs Mikoto&#039;s and tells her she loves her, however Mikoto cannot see or perceive her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hannaph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hanna Sarasa in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Hanna&#039;s Heartphial Story: At the End of the World with You]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikoto falls into darkness until warm light surrounds her, and Hanna appears one last time. She explains her plan did not fail, telling Mikoto to look at the city that night. Hanna will bear their sins alone, but Mikoto has to live.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayo&#039;/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna&#039;d copied Mikoto&#039;s Transplant magic and sends her to inhabit a Magical Girl on top of an observation deck. This girl ends up being Alina. Through Alina&#039;s eyes, Mikoto watches as building lights turn off and on one by one, forming a message visible from above: HAPPY BIRTHDAY. She realizes Hanna spent all their time together preparing this gift, marking every location so the city she hates will celebrate her existence. Though her hatred remains, Mikoto decides she will live, forever remembering this scene seared into her eyes as she whispers goodbye to Hanna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the survivors gather at Mitama&#039;s. Nanaka tells most that Hanna used suggestion magic on herself. Only those who already knew learn the truth about her destroying her own Soul Gem. Nanaka and Yachiyo explain to Konoha that Soul Gems contain a Magical Girl&#039;s soul. Konoha cries, lamenting she caused her sisters to contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;theflowerslament&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Asuka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Asuka swings her naginata in front of Felicia and Sasara while trying to remember something important that Nanaka told her. Felicia asks if she is training, and Sasara explains that Asuka met Nanaka but forgot the conversation entirely. Asuka believes training will help her remember, but when it does not work, she threatens to self-flagellate. Sasara forbids it and suggests trying different methods instead. Sasara researches online and has them try swimming, then soy products, but nothing works. She buys a brain training puzzle book, though Asuka admits she is not good at those. Asuka again threatens self-flagellation, and Sasara again forbids it. When Sasara suggests simply asking Nanaka again, Asuka refuses, finding it shameful to have her repeat herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;asukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asuka Tatsuki#Side Story|Asuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sasara tells Felicia that Asuka never backs down, just as she did when making her wish. Asuka explains her past: she is the daughter of a family that runs a swordsmanship dojo in Mizuna Ward. Two years ago, her cousin intended to take the police recruitment test, but his father ran for mayor instead. Her cousin asked for help with the campaign, and Asuka&#039;s family joined the election staff. Her uncle was later caught buying votes with cash. Her cousin apologized and said he could not come to the dojo until things settled. Asuka believed he would never become a policeman due to his father&#039;s crimes, so she made a contract with Kyubey and wished for her cousin to become a police officer. Sasara notes that Asuka became a magical girl because of that belief, though the incident never came up again. Felicia calls her thoughtless, prompting another self-flagellation threat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;asukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka proposes a new plan: have Felicia hit her in the head with her hammer until she remembers. Sasara objects, but Felicia agrees to go easy. After a hit, Asuka remembers she was hurrying to the train station that day and did not really hear what Nanaka said. The girls go find Nanaka. Nanaka asks if Sasara and Asuka are friends with Felicia, and Sasara says they are sort of working together. When Nanaka calls that splendid, Felicia asks if she is picking a fight. Nanaka says she is glad Felicia found friends. Asuka asks about their earlier conversation and Nanaka explains Asuka was in a hurry, so they agreed to talk later. She confirms it involves a magical girl, a witch, and Kamihama. She then holds out a flyer for a flower arrangement exhibition held by her family&#039;s school. She wanted all magical girls to attend and relax. She admits she meant to mail it but forgot. Asuka laughs quietly and Felicia is annoyed the information was not important. Asuka says she will now self-flagellate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;asukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Asuka later attends the exhibition and finds it gorgeous. She claims to have learned from this and will train her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;asukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Natsuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Natsuki, Akira, and Kaede fight a Witch together. When Natsuki prepares to finish it, Akira warns that both she and Natsuki are low on magic. Natsuki encourages a hesitant Kaede to deliver the final blow instead, assuring her they will help if she fails. Kaede succeeds, and afterward the girls properly introduce themselves. Natsuki reveals she is a cheerleader and invites them to her house.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Natsukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Natsuki Utsuho#Side Story|Natsuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At her home, Natsuki&#039;s brother serves tea and mentions that her cheering can cure illnesses. Natsuki explains this stems from her wish: she cured his fever so he could play in a championship game. Though his team lost, she has never regretted it. She shows them childhood photos of herself as a baseball-playing tomboy and explains that when her middle school baseball club barred girls, she eventually discovered that cheering for others brought her more joy than playing ever did. She realized she simply wanted to support her friends and family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Natsukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki recalls a similar moment when she first became a magical girl and cheered for Kako Natsume during a Witch fight, which helped Kako win. This experience convinced Natsuki that her cheering could empower magical girls just as it did baseball players. When Akira wonders if Natsuki will feel lonely when the third years graduate, the conversation gets cut short as Kaede realizes it is late. Before they leave, Natsuki teases Akira about borrowing her cheerleading uniform, and Akira gets flustered.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Natsukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Akira and Natsuki defeat a Witch together. Afterward, Natsuki admits she is scared of things changing. Her former little league teammates are focused on exams, and she worries about being left behind while wanting them to succeed. Akira asks an unusual question about what kind of mother Natsuki might become, then explains that everyone grows up and faces these feelings, but avoiding change means missing out on future happiness. She suggests Natsuki should cheer for her friends in life as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Natsukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, after another Witch fight, Natsuki gives Akira handmade omamori charms. One reads Barrier and Safety for magical girl protection, and another reads Marriage, which she thought Akira would appreciate for its girly nature. Akira denies liking it, but Natsuki has made similar charms for her other friends as well, reflecting her decision to embrace change and cheer for everyone&#039;s future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Natsukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Kaede shows her Barrier Safety charm to Rena and Momoko. Momoko recognizes it as a magical girl version of traffic safety charms, while Rena notices the words Hill and Thank you embroidered on it. Kaede thinks it refers to the idol group Rena and Momoko saw, but Rena points out Natsuki got the name completely wrong. Momoko teases Rena for being jealous that Kaede made friends while she was away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Natsukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at her house, Natsuki asks her brother if he has heard of an idol group called Sakamichi-sankyuu. When he corrects her to Kagurasaka36, she is horrified to realize she got both the name and number wrong. She resolves to continue cheering for everyone&#039;s bright future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Natsukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hinano&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On a school day, eighteen-year-old Hinano is rejected by a boy she confesses to, and later breaks down crying in front of her thirteen-year-old assistant Emiri. When Emiri tries to comfort her by suggesting some people like her body type, Hinano accuses her of looking down on her and demands respect, though Emiri insists her teasing is just her way of showing love.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinanoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hinano Miyako#Side Story|Hinano&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A flashback reveals how they met, with Emiri mistaking Hinano for a grade-schooler and then becoming fascinated by the older girl&#039;s experience as a Magical Girl and science club president, eventually begging to become her assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinanoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, as Hinano gives a science presentation for children, they discover the entire audience has Witch&#039;s Kisses and split up to find the Witch. Emiri finds it first but is trapped with a teacher holding chemicals that could produce toxic gas. Despite Emiri&#039;s desire to prove herself without Hinano&#039;s help, she ends up needing to be rescued.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinanoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After destroying the Witch and saving Emiri, Hinano admits she became a Magical Girl years ago when a reckless experiment nearly killed her. She insists she is already proud of Emiri. Later, Emiri tells Hinano she truly respects her and gives her a cheek rubbing penalty, leaving Hinano bewildered but quietly touched.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinanoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Emiri&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Asuka Tatsuki and Sasara Minagi chase a familiar but lose it, and Emiri Kisaki appears, introducing herself as a new magical girl. She convinces them to help her, and they track down and defeat the familiar, only for a Witch to emerge. Inside the barrier, they find unconscious civilians. Sasara and Asuka argue over whether to rescue them or fight the Witch first, but Emiri suggests Sasara provoke the Witch by helping the people while Asuka attacks. The plan works, and they destroy the Witch together. Afterwards, they exchange contact information, and Emiri reflects that being a magical girl is tough but fun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;emiriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Emiri Kisaki#Side Story|Emiri&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Asuka and Sasara bring Emiri to the restaurant Walnuts, where the cook is Manaka Kurumi. Manaka serves them poorly made omelette rice because she is distracted by creating a new dish. As an apology, she offers them the Manaka Special, which they all find delicious. Emiri encourages her to put it on the menu despite her concerns about tradition, and Manaka agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;emiriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Asuka and Sasara bring Emiri to a shopping center and propose she open an advice booth, citing how her advice helped Manaka. They introduce her to Akira Shinobu, who is reluctant until Emiri starts asking about her way of speaking. The booth becomes a huge success, attracting girls like Rika Ayano and Tsuruno Yui. Eventually, Ria Ami, a famous model whose beauty came from a wish, visits. Emiri is instantly smitten, calls her Ria-sama, and proposes they partner up to become the cutest magical girls. Ria agrees, and Emiri excitedly plans to introduce her to Asuka and Sasara.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;emiriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ayaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku meet while fighting a witch, and Ayaka defeats it through sheer will. Afterward, Ayaka panics about missing a live show, so Shizuku uses her magic to transport them directly to the venue. The show is a comedy duo called Needle Roller, and afterward the girls finally introduce themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ayaka Mariko#Side Story|Ayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka finds Shizuku looking sad and learns she feels anxious whenever she is not fighting witches. Ayaka tries to cheer her up with jokes, and when she seriously explains the structure of one, Shizuku laughs genuinely. This reminds Ayaka of her childhood friend Yuu, who always brightened the space around her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ayakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, Shizuku admits she envies Ayaka&#039;s brightness. Ayaka confesses she was not always this way - before becoming a magical girl, she was dull and considered Yuu&#039;s shadow. She wished to be bright like Yuu and now feels like a cheap imitation. Shizuku compares her to a quiet performer who became loud on stage to achieve his dream, explaining that Ayaka changed because she wanted to, and it was Ayaka who encouraged her, not Yuu. Ayaka thanks her and gives her another ticket to a Needle Roller show.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ayakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nagisa&#039;s Wish===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Nagisa Momoe tells her teacher about something her mother did to her. The teacher asks if Nagisa was misbehaving and she admits she broke a dish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nagisaswish&#039;&amp;gt;Hinted at in [[Magia Record Event - Nagisa&#039;s Wish|Nagisa&#039;s Wish]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On her way home, Kyubey appears and asks if Nagisa wants to become a Magical Girl, with this not being the first time he has done so. Nagisa refuses and Kyubey points out Nagisa&#039;s malnutrition, her messy home, and her bad personal relationships. Nagisa admits he has a point but argues that people who have their wishes granted in stories always become unhappy. She asks what wish she needs most. Kyubey says her best wish would be &amp;quot;I want to be given concern and kindness from a certain person&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;I want to be loved.&amp;quot; Nagisa says she is loved enough, which Kyubey expected. Nagisa thinks about how she likes reading sad stories because it makes her heart feel lighter, making her feel like she could be saved and how she could not understand when someone asked her what her hopes and wishes were.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nagisaswish&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Inui Itsumi contacts Kyubey about a Magical Girl called the &amp;quot;Sleepwalking Ghost&amp;quot; who kills bad people. Inui worries the Ghost might target Shou, the boy she likes. Kyubey says there is a high probability Shou is on the list and that Inui hasn&#039;t killed a Witch in ten days. Inui says she will ask the Ghost herself and Kyubey organizes to meet with Inui again the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nagisaswish&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1273.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Nagisa&#039;s classmates invite her to buy candy after class, but she lies and says she is visiting her mother at the hospital. Kyubey appears and offers to take Nagisa on a Witch hunt with an older Magical Girl. Nagisa reluctantly agrees. She asks why ordinary humans cannot help Magical Girls and Kyubey says they cannot stand up to Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nagisaswish&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inui never shows up and Kyubey admits he did not tell her he was bringing Nagisa. Nagisa says it was a waste of time and goes home. Kyubey confronts Inui about standing him up, but Inui refuses to mentor a young girl, feeling tricked into meeting with Nagisa. Kyubey pressures her and Inui changes the subject to the Sleepwalking Ghost and says she is against Kyubey contracting Nagisa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nagisaswish&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey finds Nagisa shopping for cheese to bring her mother at the hospital. Kyubey notes she should get something more nutritionally balanced, though Nagisa says it&#039;s just her mother&#039;s favorite, and that Nagisa doesn&#039;t even like cheese. Nagisa says her mother used to be on television but got sick after marrying her father, who abandoned the family. Nagisa wonders if her mother would not have gotten sick if she had not married him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nagisaswish&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey leads Nagisa into a Witch&#039;s Barrier, where they&#039;re saved by a bizarre Magical Girl named Yu who easily defeats the Witch. Yu is the Sleepwalking Ghost and she explains she kills bad people using a list that updates automatically. She has forgotten everything from before she became a Magical Girl and she notes Nagisa&#039;s last name appears on the list, though that person&#039;s house had been messy and nobody was inside. Nagisa recognizes the name of her mother on the list and says that person must have moved away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nagisaswish&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yu says she made a promise and thinks killing witches and bad people will help her remember it. She sells what is useful from the bodies so they don&#039;t go to waste, dumping the rest into Labyrinths so they disappear with the Witches she kills, and Kyubey calls Yu an abnormality. Yu tells Nagisa to stop enduring so much, including Kyubey, and focus on being free instead and the two depart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nagisaswish&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Inui encounters Yu and attacks her. Yu insists Shou is a bad person but Inui calls her a liar. Yu says her list updates automatically and Inui should not have trouble if Shou is killed, which enrages her more.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nagisaswish&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa visits her mother at the hospital with the cheese, telling Kyubey to wait outside and afterwards, she will make the wish to heal her mom, hoping her mom will be grateful in return. Her mother says the cheee is too much and is upset after seeing Nagisa&#039;s father didn&#039;t visit her. Nagisa tells her mother about the wish which will save her, and that she is happy to be her daughter, yet her mother angrily tells her to abandon her and leave. She says curing her will not change anything because it is all because Nagisa was born.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nagisaswish&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa returns to Kyubey, meeting with him at night in a playground and makes her wish: &amp;quot;I want the tastiest cheesecake in the whole world!&amp;quot; She specifies the cheesecake should be made for her mother&#039;s tastes, intending to have her mom die because Nagisa specifically didn&#039;t save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nagisaswish&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey finds Inui near the hospital, horribly injured by Yu. Inui&#039;s Soul Gem has reached its limit and she asks Kyubey to kill her. Kyubey refuses, saying that by becoming a witch, Inui has finally become useful. Inui becomes the Witch [[Uhrmann]] and her Barrier engulfs the hospital, including Nagisa&#039;s mother&#039;s hospital room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nagisaswish&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey tells Nagisa to escape as she&#039;s too weak, yet she says she can decide for herself now and if she can make her mom feel grateful or regretful, she will do anything. She confronts Uhrmann and is knocked unconscious. Yu soon arrives and kills the Witch. Nagisa wakes up and Kyubey tells her Yu was the one who saved her, so she rushes to her mother. After she leaves, he notes he had high hopes for Nagisa, yet she will not survive past that night and that he&#039;ll have Mami Tomoe handle this part of the territory as well. She finds that Yu has attacked her mother, with Yu realizing the connection between the two. Nagisa tells Yu to leave and she does, saying she will keep being on Nagisa&#039;s side in the future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nagisaswish&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa&#039;s mother says a monster with a torn mouth and a horn attacked her. She begs Nagisa not to leave her alone and repeatedly begs for an answer until she dies. The entire time, Nagisa says nothing and looks at her in despair. Nagisa becomes the Witch [[Charlotte]] all alone. The last thing she sees is a landscape full of sweets, where she can live without having to forgive or hate anyone. But there was no cheese for her mother.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nagisaswish&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===My Diary With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren stands on a rooftop, contemplating another suicide attempt, when Kyubey warns that repeating her actions will destroy her Soul Gem. Rika saves her after defeating a nearby Witch, and Ren reflects on her childhood bullying, her first suicide attempt, and her wish to live, which then led her to destroy Witches only to realize humanity&#039;s cruelty remains. Unable to explain her despair to Rika, Ren is introduced to a community of Magical Girls in Emiri&#039;s who each offer her small kindnesses: Ria gives her hand cream and Konomi gives her chamomile tea. Then they visit the chemistry club where Hinano gives Ren candy, and in the end the group meets Kanoko at her family&#039;s metal factory. There, after Ren compliments a dress Kanoko designed, she gives Ren accessories made of metal sheets. Later, Rika shares her own story of wishing for someone&#039;s love, explaining that connection requires vulnerability. When Ren still cannot speak her truth, Rika reminds her that all these people were thinking of her, giving her a reason to continue living. Ren thanks her, choosing to keep living.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;renss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ren Isuzu#Side Story|Ren&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Rika and Ren visit a stationary shop, where Rika learns Ren draws in her diary with colored pencils.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mydiary&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, at Emiri&#039;s consultation stand, Rika gets the idea to commission a decorated pencil case from Kanoko after seeing Emiri&#039;s phone case. Kanoko agrees to help, and her father allows them to use his factory&#039;s equipment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mydiary&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That weekend, Kanoko finalizes the material choice and makes Rika practice engraving on scrap metal daily until her skills improve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mydiary&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren and Rika team up to fight a Witch. Afterward, Ren comforts a victim, and Rika calls her kind. Ren reflects that she can live now because she met Rika.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mydiary&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Ren buys a cherry pink pencil, which is Rika&#039;s favorite color, continuing her tradition of buying a pencil each time she saves someone, hoping to become someone who can stand beside Rika.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mydiary&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following days, Kanoko deems Rika ready to work on the real gift. Ren sends Rika an invitation to a picture book exhibition, but Rika declines, needing time to finish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mydiary&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri&#039;s consultation stand, Ren defends Rika during a conversation with Akira. When Rika arrives, she calls them close friends and asks about Ren&#039;s drawings but respects that they&#039;re in Ren&#039;s diary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mydiary&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Ren&#039;s father gives her two tickets to a picture book exhibition. Thinking of Rika, she keeps both and emails an invitation. Rika replies she already has plans, shocking Ren.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mydiary&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren later sees an advertisement for a teddy bear exhibition and invites Rika for the following Sunday. Rika must decline again due to gift work and supplementary lessons, leaving Ren devastated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mydiary&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following Sunday, Ren walks through Kamihama, imagining being at the exhibition with Rika. She overhears Rika nearby, thanking Kanoko and Emiri for their help. When Emiri notices her, Rika stumbles over her words, and Ren runs off, saying it&#039;s fine.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mydiary&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Rika sends an apologetic email. Ren wants to respond but cannot, overwhelmed by envy and shame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mydiary&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ren&#039;s mother asks if something is wrong, but Ren says nothing. In her room, she tries to write in her diary but cannot, sobbing as she realizes things cannot go back to the way they were.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mydiary&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Rika tells Akira that Ren has stopped responding. Kanoko and Akira advise her to talk to Ren directly. Rika heads to Ren&#039;s school, remembering her favorite place is the audiovisual room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mydiary&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the audiovisual room, Ren receives a phone call from Rika. Rika explains she was making Ren a birthday present: twelve colored pencils in an engraved case with a Lily of the Valley motif, flowers which mean &amp;quot;Genuine&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Pure.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mydiary&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika asks Ren to open the door and gives her the present, wishing her a happy birthday. Ren cries, calling it the prettiest thing she has ever seen. As they walk home, Ren apologizes for the misunderstanding. Rika says she chose Lily of the Valley because it is perfect for Ren. Ren promises herself that one day, when she reaches the final page of her diary, she will tell Rika everything about it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mydiary&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, Rika fights a witch alongside Hinano. Afterward, Hinano notes Rika&#039;s fighting style has changed—less reckless, more focused on helping others. Rika realizes she no longer fights to relieve stress but to help everyone, and decides she cannot change the past but can change the future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mydiary&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Reaching a Happier Height===&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara visits Mitama for a Soul Gem adjustment and notices her staring at a flyer for a hiking rally event. When Masara explains that Kokoro keeps talking about mountain climbing because it&#039;s tied to her last happy memory with her family, she leaves the flyer behind. Mitama reads that first prize is five kilograms of rice and decides right then to make sure they win it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reachingahappierheight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Reaching a Happier Height|Reaching a Happier Height]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro vents to Masara about how witch hunting always gets in the way of her climbing. When Masara asks why she loves it so much, Kokoro explains that it&#039;s her favorite memory, the last thing she ever did with her family before everything changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reachingahappierheight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Kokoro stops by Mitama&#039;s shop for an adjustment. Mitama casually brings up the hiking rally and Kokoro is easily convinced to participate. Momoko pays for her own adjustment while they&#039;re talking, and when Mitama asks about hiking preparation, Momoko suggests bringing water.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reachingahappierheight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Mitama drags both Masara and Kokoro to the mall without giving any explanation. While they&#039;re distracted looking around, she buys supplies on her own: amazake, salt, chocolate, and supplements. She finds them picking out a bento box together and adds bear repellent to her cart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reachingahappierheight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The night before the rally, Kokoro and Masara visit Mitama to review their preparations. Mitama has made an extensive list that includes lip balm and selfie sticks. When Mitama brings up the event itself, Kokoro initially tries to decline because of homework. Mitama suggests Masara could help her study, and Masara reluctantly says she wouldn&#039;t mind if Kokoro went. Kokoro finally agrees, and Mitama reveals that first prize is rice. Kokoro offers to make lunch for both of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reachingahappierheight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After they leave, Mitama prepares what she calls a special energy drink. Momoko takes one sip and immediately collapses. Mitama fills bottles with the mixture anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reachingahappierheight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The morning of the event, Kokoro calls Mitama wondering where she is. Mitama reveals she never actually planned to participate and wanted them to win the rice for her all along.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reachingahappierheight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara and Kokoro begin the rally together, solving questions at each checkpoint. When Kokoro suggests they stop for lunch, they find a spot to eat. Masara compliments her cooking and Kokoro admits she&#039;s been cooking for herself ever since her mother left. They discover Mitama&#039;s energy drink stuffed in their bags and sip it, which ends up slowing them down considerably.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reachingahappierheight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After clearing ten questions, they discover they&#039;re in the lead. They search for the twelfth checkpoint without success. Masara deduces it should be to the right, but her Soul Gem reacts to a Witch on the left. They defeat the Witch and lose time, but afterward they spot the checkpoint hidden in an unexpected place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reachingahappierheight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They reach the summit with an hour still left on the clock. Kokoro tears up, overwhelmed by the memory of climbing with her family. Masara apologizes for being there instead of them, but Kokoro clarifies they&#039;re tears of joy. She tells Masara she&#039;s glad she wanted to come with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reachingahappierheight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Kokoro finishes crying, Masara offers her a handkerchief. The word tears gives Masara the answer to the final question. They turn in their answers and win the rice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reachingahappierheight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the event ends, Kokoro hauls the heavy rice into Mitama&#039;s shop. Mitama stresses again that she never intended to go, but Kokoro and Masara point out she pushed them into shopping for supplies. Mitama offers to make them lunch and Masara declines. Mitama tells Kokoro she should thank Masara, explaining that Masara was interested in the rally specifically because hiking was Kokoro&#039;s number one memory. Kokoro thanks her sincerely. She asks if they can go again sometime. Masara says her sneakers are worn out. Kokoro suggests they buy new ones together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reachingahappierheight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Masara returns to Mitama for another adjustment. She describes how the lunch that day seemed especially delicious and asks if Mitama understands what that means. Mitama says that feeling is difficult to put into words, but that it felt special to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reachingahappierheight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Another Daze===&lt;br /&gt;
This event and the accompanying Side Stories follow the main team of Kazumi Magica. Regarding Kazumi, this event takes place before Kazumi meets the rest of the Pleiades, while in Magia Record, it takes place sometime after the founding of the Doppel System.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Team kazumi memoria full.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1145.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaoru, Umika, and Kazumi chase a Witch to Kamihama City and a surge of magic gets Kazumi separated from them. Kaoru finds Natsuki Utsuho fighting Familiars alone and they team up to defeat the Witch. Natsuki recognizes Kaoru as the soccer player who crushed her school&#039;s team and offers to guide her through the city. Natsuki explains Witches have increased dramatically recently.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kaoruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kaoru Maki in Magia Record#Side Story|Kaoru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Umika defeats a Witch and encounters Kako Natsume, who invites her to Natsume Books to discuss the search. Kako leads her to meet Akira Shinobu and Meiyui Chun. Meiyui shares information from Nanaka about sightings of an unfamiliar yellow Magical Girl in four locations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;umikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Umika Misaki in Magia Record#Side Story|Umika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki and Kaoru fight another Witch together. Natsuki creates a defensive barrier to protect Kaoru, who uses the opening to defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kaoruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group tracks Witch appearances to Chuo Ward, where they sense a Witch being defeated with Kaoru&#039;s magic signature. Umika and Kaoru reunite and agree to search for Kazumi together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kaoruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;umikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kazumi wakes on a park bench in Kamihama with no memories except her name. Tsuruno feeds her at Banbanzai. Her hair coil senses evil and she follows it, meeting Himika and Kanoko. At Himika&#039;s home, Kazumi remembers making beef stroganoff for two girls. Kanoko recognizes the novelist Umika Misaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anotherdaze&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Another Daze|Another Daze]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following Kanoko&#039;s advice, Kazumi visits Emiri&#039;s consultation office. Emiri suggests searching her belongings and finds a flyer for an Asunaro cafe. Sasara arrives seeking help for Asuka who disappeared inside a Labyrinth. Kazumi insists on helping and destroys the Witch, freeing Asuka. From this, she remembers falling for the same Witch&#039;s trap with Umika and Kaoru. Asuka and Sasara suggest she find Yachiyo through Mitama. Emiri lends Kazumi a spare phone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anotherdaze&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hungry, Kazumi stops at Walnut&#039;s and eats a meal she cannot pay for. Manaka appreciates her honesty and Kazumi works off the meal. Hinano arrives seeking help for writer&#039;s block and Kazumi cooks for her, remembering how Umika would cure writer&#039;s block. Hinano recognizes Kaoru&#039;s name and gives directions to a park. Kazumi searches but cannot find anyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kazumiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kazumi in Magia Record#Side Story|Kazumi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She goes back to search for Mitama&#039;s place but keeps returning to the same street. Her hair coil tingles. Yachiyo finds her inside the Uwasa and takes her to Mitama&#039;s.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anotherdaze&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Umika and Kaoru are pursued by a shadowy doppelganger of Kazumi. They ask for help from local Magical Girls and Tsuruno leads them to Emiri&#039;s office. Emiri uses her illusion magic to help them escape to Mitama&#039;s, where they find Kazumi sleeping. Yachiyo explains the doppelganger road: if the doppelganger meets the original, the original will be replaced. She reveals she escaped the road and found the real Kazumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anotherdaze&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The doppelganger arrives outside. Yachiyo explains the Rumor scattered its mind in eight directions; they must capture the eight fakes in one place to reassemble Kazumi&#039;s psyche.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anotherdaze&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls fight the doppelganger. Inside, Kazumi wakes in a cloud world and hears Umika and Kaoru&#039;s voices calling her as Mitama linked their Soul Gems. The smell of food guides her back. Tsuruno brings fried rice and Himika brings mushroom hotpot. Mitama links their Soul Gems to gather the scattered parts and they defeat the doppelganger permanently.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anotherdaze&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, as Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru prepare to return to Asunaro, they stop at a supermarket for ingredients. Kazumi thinks she will remember this adventure whenever she makes fried rice or mushroom soup.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anotherdaze&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Kazumi Magica====&lt;br /&gt;
Afterwards, the events of [[Puella Magi Kazumi Magica: The innocent malice]] unfold as normal in Asunaro.

&lt;br /&gt;
* During [[Satomi Usagi|Satomi Usagi&#039;s]] rampage against the Kazumi Series, a few of them manage to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Cuddly Despairs|The Cuddly Despairs]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Clone 4, the most similar to the original [[Michiru Kazusa]], saves Clones 2, 6, 7 and 10. She nurses them back to health by feeding them part of her body, which clones are able to do.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Clone 10 makes a contract with Kyubey to make Clone 4 into the real Michiru Kazusa, turning her into a real human version of Michiru before she became a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Clone 2 wishes for [[Niko Kanna|Niko Kanna&#039;s]] ability to reform and rebuild, which she uses on the other clones to give them appearances and identities. They plan to have Michiru re-enact the life of the real Michiru, saving the clones of Umika and Kaoru, but with a happy ending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

*** Clone 10 takes the identity of Saki Asami.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Suzune Magica===&lt;br /&gt;
The events featuring the characters of Suzune Magica take place at some point after Mifuyu joins the Magius. The events do have spaces of time between them, however as the amount of time is impossible to discern in regards to other events, they&#039;re all listed in this section.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In Hohzuki, a classmate shows Chisato a social media post about one of her father&#039;s books found in Kamihama. She resolves to travel there to find it. Arisa offers to come.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cross&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Cross Connection|Cross Connection]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In another city, Suzune finishes killing all Magical Girls there and enrolls in Hozuki City as her next target. Kyubey tells her about Kamihama, where no Incubator can enter and Magical Girls are gathering. Suzune comes to eliminate them, believing this will end the cycle of Magical Girls becoming Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cross&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Suzune arrives in Kamihama. She stops at a Camellia flower and thinks of Tsubaki, the Magical Girl she cared for who became a Witch and was killed by Suzune. She meets Kaede, Momoko, and Rena briefly. She later fights alongside cloaked Magical Girls, destroys the Witch effortlessly, and attacks them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu intervenes and deduces Suzune kills Magical Girls to prevent them from becoming Witches. Alina arrives and fights Suzune. Low on magic, Suzune vanishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Suzuness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Suzune Amano#Side Story|Suzune&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, past midnight, Kokoro enters a Witch&#039;s barrier and is surrounded. Suzune appears and destroys the Familiars. Kokoro thanks her, introduces herself, and Suzune strikes at her Soul Gem. Masara, who was following Kokoro invisibly, thwarts the attack and allows Kokoro to flee.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cross&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Around the afternoon, Arisa and Chisato arrive in Kamihama. They encounter Momoko scolding Rena. Chisato takes Arisa to a Sayuki Fumino live show, where Arisa cries during a song. During a quiz, Arisa and Rena tie and win prizes. Afterward, they search for picture books.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Arisass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Arisa Narumi#Side Story|Arisa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chisato explains she loved a particular picture book from before things went bad with her father but cannot remember its title. They meet Akira, who takes them to Natsume Books. They meet Kako, who checks her files but does not find the book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cross&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Suzune hides inside a Witch&#039;s barrier. Akira approaches her and Suzune pretends to be injured, accepting Akira&#039;s help for intel. Akira takes her to Emiri&#039;s Consultation Services. Nanaka appears and senses Suzune is their enemy. Suzune decides to lay a trap near a Witch to confirm Nanaka is a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cross&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chisato and Arisa finish their search. Kako offers to help them search elsewhere. Outside, they argue and split up. Arisa breaks down and tells Kako about the fight. Chisato returns looking dejected and Kako tells her how serious Arisa is. They apologize.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cross&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suzune&#039;s trap lures Kokoro and Nanaka appears transformed. Akira is also hiding. Outnumbered, Suzune uses Heat Shimmer to disappear. Nanaka confirms Suzune is the enemy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cross&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako&#039;s father&#039;s friend owns a secondhand shop. The girls search and find &amp;quot;The Adventures of Dumpling Boy.&amp;quot; Chisato buys it. She realizes she created the character as a child and her father turned it into the book. She realizes her wish may have erased this part of her father and cries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cross&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui joins the group. Nanaka deduces Suzune uses Witches to lure Magical Girls. They stage their deaths using Meiyui&#039;s magic to see Suzune&#039;s goal and plan to spread an online post to pressure her to leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cross&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Exhausted, Suzune is photographed by men who say she matches a forum post. Feeling watched, she suspects Nanaka is setting her up and resolves to leave Kamihama. Arisa and Chisato walk home and discuss returning to Hozuki. Suzune overhears and decides to let things cool down first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cross&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka asks Meiyui to spread a rumor warning other Magical Girls about Suzune. The rumor warps and becomes the urban legend of the &amp;quot;Ripper Girl&amp;quot; in Hozuki City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cross&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During one of the following days at school, Arisa notices Chisato worrying. Chisato reveals she agreed to read a picture book to children but needs to write one herself. Arisa recruits Matsuri and Haruka to help. They regroup in three days to share ideas.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chisatoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, they share ideas. None are suitable for children. Chisato asks for more time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chisatoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chisato Shion#Side Story|Chisato&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Chisato presents a completed story combining their ideas. They refine it, draw the art, and title it &amp;quot;The Four Girls and the White Rabbit.&amp;quot; The children enjoy it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chisatoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at school, Chisato reflects on her father. After her mother died, he turned his resentment toward her. Chisato wished for a kind father, and as a result he stopped writing. She bears the guilt. Arisa reminds her the past and present are separate, and Chisato begins to believe things will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chisatoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1420 2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The rumor of the Ripper spreads to Hohzuki, prompting Chisato and her friends to investigate in Kamihama. Suzune travels there alone, unaware Matsuri is among the group.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dis&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rumors in Disguise|Rumors in Disguise]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group splits up. They learn the Memory Ripper changes forms, announces itself with a bell, and demands a name. Arisa and Matsuri encounter it and are attacked. Arisa wakes having forgotten her wish and reverted to her meek personality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dis&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls are picked off one by one. They deduce refusing to give Ripper their names causes it to absorb them instead. Using this knowledge, they recover everyone. Suzune remains trapped until Matsuri recovers her memories and frees her. Haruka deduces the true name is Suzunone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dis&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suzunone thanks her and disappears. A mysterious voice interrupts. Outside, everything is rewritten. Arisa and Matsuri are back to normal with false memories. Suzune is gone. The girls dismiss the odd feeling and go sightseeing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dis&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls split up. Haruka ends up at the museum with Natsuki and Aimi. They encounter two sisters who had a fight. The younger sister wishes her older sibling would disappear, and the older sister receives a Witch&#039;s Kiss and vanishes into a barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Harukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Haruka Kanade#Side Story|Haruka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Haruka is haunted by memories of her wish to erase her older sister Kanata out of jealousy, only to wake up as the sole person who remembers her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Harukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After defeating the Witch, the sisters reconcile. Haruka insists she is fine.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Harukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Matsuri becomes fascinated by Kanoko&#039;s fungal hair scrunchies and Kanoko invites her home. They encounter Manaka, who needs a design to win a bet. Matsuri offers the scrunchies and receives ghost mushrooms. At Kanoko&#039;s home, Matsuri asks to learn metalworking and decides to make taiyaki-shaped earrings.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Matsuriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Matsuri Hinata#Side Story|Matsuri&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They search for taiyaki and meet Ikumi, Ayaka, Hinano, and Emiri along the way. Matsuri reveals she was born blind and wished to see. Kanoko takes her to Mitama for taiyaki information.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Matsuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama gives them a poster for free taiyaki at a cliffside location. They meet Himika and enjoy taiyaki at sunset. Matsuri reflects on her first sunset after gaining her sight and thanks Kanoko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Matsuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Kagari drags an unconscious Suzune out of Kamihama. She berates Kyubey and returns Suzune to Hohzuki after ensuring she has forgotten everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dis&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* Kagari arrives in Kamihama and is approached by the reborn Rumor of the May Bells of Happiness. It creates a world matching Kagari&#039;s wishes. Those invited have their minds pulled into the dream while their bodies remain in the real world. Tsubaki&#039;s consciousness is pulled from a point before her death. The dream shows Kagari, Matsuri, Suzune, and Tsubaki moving to Kamihama and befriending Aimi, Kokoro, and Masara.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;memorable&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Memorable Flower|Memorable Flower]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsubaki and the three girls move to Kamihama. Tsubaki shares her past with Suzune. She lost her parents to a Witch and was taken in by Yoriko, who ran a kendo dojo. Yoriko later followed Tsubaki into a Labyrinth and was killed. Tsubaki shows Suzune a bell charm that is Yoriko&#039;s keepsake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsubakiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsubaki Mikoto in Magia Record#Side Story|Tsubaki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Matsuri brings Kokoro home. Tsubaki teaches kendo to Suzune, Matsuri, and Kokoro. Tsubaki reflects on her rival Ichika and expresses hope the girls will build a similar bond.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsubakiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They detect a Witch and find a woman and child under a Witch&#039;s Kiss. They enter the Labyrinth, joined by Kagari. Tsubaki defeats the Witch. The child reconciles with her adoptive mother.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsubakiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsubaki hangs a photograph of herself with Yoriko and Ichika. She hopes to protect the girls as Yoriko protected her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsubakiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, the group defeats a Witch together and discovers May bells blooming out of season. Kagari feels something is off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;memorable&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsubaki, Matsuri, and Aimi go shopping. They hear a voice and smell a floral scent Tsubaki cannot detect. They follow it into a Labyrinth, defeat the Witch, and find more May bells.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;memorable&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After investigation, they witness revelations: Aimi learns Tsubaki died, Suzune and Masara see Tsubaki died years ago, and Kokoro witnesses young Kagari making a contract to wish for revenge on Suzune for killing Tsubaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;memorable&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In reality, Natsuki explains to Nanaka and Akira how she found Aimi catatonic. Nanaka theorizes Tsubaki&#039;s consciousness was brought from the past and warns those in the illusion may vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;memorable&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Matsuri learns the full truth and remembers Tsubaki&#039;s last words. She decides to save everyone even if it means losing Tsubaki. Tsubaki faces Suzune and Kagari, who beg her to stay. Tsubaki refuses and says goodbye as the illusion collapses. Tsubaki awakens in her own time with no memory of what happened but feels warm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;memorable&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone awakens in reality and Kagari rewrites everyone&#039;s memories and disappears. Matsuri and Suzune feel warmth but cannot remember. Kagari, alone, reveals her memories returned and she was acting. She resents Matsuri and vows to make Suzune suffer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;memorable&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* What becomes of this version of Kagari is unknown, but the events of Arc 2 hint that Suzune, Matsuri, and Haruka are still alive years later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Ultimate Record===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:602301 5 cha 01 memoria1250 01.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* From the [[Law of Cycles]], at the corner of the universe, [[Ultimate Madoka]], the goddess of all Magical Girls sits watching over countless records, each one the song of a girl she has blessed. One day she discovers a record she does not recognize, though she should know every one. When she plays it, she hears familiar songs at first, but then an unfamiliar voice rings out—a Magical Girl whose song she has never heard before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;firstannisp&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Ultimate Record|The Ultimate Record]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flustered, the goddess tries to sing her blessing onto the record, but her voice leaves no mark. She cannot carve into this record at all. Growing anxious, she listens more closely and discovers that a new groove is actually being carved even now, still in progress. The songs on this record are not finished being written. If she forces her blessing now, the record might break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;firstannisp&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She decides to watch over it instead, knowing that when it is complete, she may have to destroy it if its songs prove to be bad. Even the goddess does not know what she will do when that time comes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;firstannisp&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This article details the events and stories taking place in, during and between the chapters of Arc 1 of [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]]. The narrative is structured to show the convergence of two distinct flows of action:&lt;br /&gt;
# The first is the personal, undated journey of [[Iroha Tamaki]] within the anomalous Kamihama City, which is much longer than Homura Akemi&#039;s usual 32 day loop. Her story begins on its own internal timeline, where the sequence of events is more important than specific calendar dates.&lt;br /&gt;
# The second is the dated countdown to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival from the original series, which starts with Day 1, Tuesday the 16th and ends on Day 32, Friday the 16th. Only the latter half of Homura&#039;s timeline is able to be approximately dated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the arc progresses, these two timelines intersect, and due to this, the latter half of the story is much easier to date. It should be noted that the timeline of the Magia Record game is highly anomalous, and thus any attempts at dating it are an educated guess at best. Therefore, this chronology should be used primarily to understand the sequence of major events, rather than as a calendar. In lack of contradictory context clues, the release date, or order of release of the event were used for their placement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that many of the events of Magia Record were written with the focus being on having fun side stories involving the characters, and thus, a definitive placement in the timeline wasn&#039;t a priority for many of them. For example, there&#039;s inconsistencies such as references to the same characters entering Kamihama for the first time in different events, or even cases where an event&#039;s tone at the time it is supposedly taking place in would be nigh-illogical considering other circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, the definitive time frame for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival was only established in [[Scene 0]], itself written and released after the majority of Magia Record and entirely after Arc 1 was finished. Notably, the [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]], which takes place supposedly shortly after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, itself happens during February. For these reasons, it is impossible to definitively state the order of events, or to accurately measure them against that of the original series, as with the addition of these inaccuracies, it is possible that none of the time frames of the original universe are applicable here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, given all these inconsistencies, any specific dates or placements in the Magia Record timelines, especially Arc 1, should be taken with a grain of salt, unless they definitively continue into one another in a clear sequence (such as the Main Story and Another Story in isolation). The original series&#039; timeframes are used for organizational and cross-reference purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The timeline of this Universe continues with [[Timeline/Magia Record/Arc 2]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==First Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha Tamaki is going to Kamihama by train, she is caught in [[Boxwood|Boxwood&#039;s Barrier]]. [[Kuroe]] is also on the same train from Takarazaki to Kamihama, as she&#039;d heard the rumor that Magical Girls can be saved there, as well as had the same dream herself. The train is engulfed by the Labyrinth and Kuroe wants to help Iroha whom she&#039;s never met before. Kuroe leaps out of the train&#039;s window to help her, but she quickly falls out of the mobile Labyrinth straight into Kamihama City, chastising herself for being weak. Kuroe is greeted by [[Mifuyu Azusa]] who was trailing the signature of the Witch and Kuroe is quickly recruited into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Little Bird&#039;s Star]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha herself arrives in Kamihama City, compelled by recurring dreams of an unknown girl in a hospital room. Believing this girl to be a key to a buried memory, Iroha begins searching the city&#039;s Witch Labyrinths for clues. During her search, she rescues another Magical Girl later identified as Kaede Akino from aggressive Familiars. The girl warns Iroha about the unusual strength of Kamihama&#039;s Witches and, upon learning Iroha is searching for a small Kyubey, mentions having seen it in a specific Labyrinth. Kaede notes that the small Kyubey has been the only Kyubey around recently.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 1: Iroha: The Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha locates the Labyrinth and finds the small Kyubey who is incapable of speech, though Iroha can somehow understand it anyway, but is soon overwhelmed by a horde of Familiars. During the struggle, she has a vivid vision of the hospital room from her dreams. She is saved by Momoko Togame, who explains that the Witches in Kamihama are too powerful for most Magical Girls to handle alone. Momoko takes Iroha to meet Mitama Yakumo, the &amp;quot;Coordinator,&amp;quot; who can perform a &amp;quot;Soul Gem Alignment&amp;quot; to enhance a Magical Girl&#039;s power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the alignment, Iroha has another, clearer vision of the hospital room and the girl, feeling a strong sense of affection and nostalgia. After the procedure, Mitama reveals that she can see into the pasts of those whose Soul Gems she touches and asks Iroha what her wish was. Iroha is horrified to realize she cannot remember her own wish or the identity of the girl in her dreams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Driven by this revelation, Iroha rushes out to continue her search, but is intercepted by the powerful Magical Girl Yachiyo Nanami. Yachiyo, believing Iroha is not strong enough to survive in Kamihama, challenges her to a duel to force her to leave the city. Though Yachiyo wins, Momoko intervenes, and a compromise is reached: Yachiyo will allow Iroha to stay if she and Momoko can defeat a specific Witch, the Sandbox Witch, before Yachiyo can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The small Kyubey reappears and leads Iroha and Momoko directly to the Sandbox Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Although Yachiyo defeats the Witch first, she gives Iroha a final chance to prove herself by defeating the Witch alone, which Iroha successfully does. Yachiyo admits she thought Iroha would be fine from the start. However, Yachiyo then reveals her true objective: she believes the small Kyubey is a dangerous irregularity and moves to eliminate it. Yachiyo explains she was trying to draw the small Kyubey out, as all the other Kyubeys in Kamihama have disappeared. Iroha throws herself in the way to protect it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the confrontation, as Iroha protects the small Kyubey, by touching it a flood of memories is unlocked. She remembers her little sister, Ui Tamaki, who was chronically ill and hospitalized. Iroha recalls her wish to Kyubey: &amp;quot;Please cure Ui! Make my precious little sister healthy!&amp;quot; She also realizes with horror that she had completely forgotten Ui&#039;s existence, living her life as if she never had a sister, with no memory of her until that moment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha awakens back at Mitama&#039;s office, having been carried there by Momoko after fainting. She explains her recovered memory to Momoko and Mitama. Despite their warnings that the memory could be false, Iroha declares that she must continue her investigation in Kamihama. Now her goal is not just to understand her dreams, but to find the cause of Ui&#039;s disappearance and uncover the truth behind her own forgotten wish. Momoko resolves to help Iroha, and Mitama agrees to help as well for a price. Mitama then asks Iroha to give the small Kyubey a name. Iroha asks Lil&#039; Kyubey if he will help her find Ui, and he agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Second Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, now at her home in Takarazaki City, understands the reason for the empty space in her room: it once belonged to her sister, Ui. She recalls memories of Ui and her two friends from the hospital, Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, even remembering specific details like how Nemu loved writing and published stories online, or how Touka was very smart. Iroha resolves to visit the hospital to find them, hopeful they will remember Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: The Rule of Ending Friendships]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0001 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* While Mitama is running her shop, she reads a detective novel called “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” A white tabby kitten from next door starts visiting her during this time and she names him Doyle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 1: The Many-Worlds Interpretation Poesy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko comes for an adjustment and sits in the back to keep Mitama company. After a client leaves, Mitama feels strange and asks Momoko about the previous day after sunset. Momoko says they stayed in the shop watching over Iroha, but Mitama saw a memory during the adjustment: in that memory, she and Momoko patrolled an alley together and Mitama realizes the memory does not match reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha goes to the hospital with Lil&#039; Kyubey&#039;s help to use her cellphone but is unable to locate Touka and Nemu, as she does not have a visitor pass and is not family. She reflects on their personalities and their frequent arguments, which Ui often mediated. As Iroha recalls one of their fights where they declared they were &amp;quot;not friends anymore,&amp;quot; she is approached by Yachiyo. She warns Iroha about a dangerous Rumor in Kamihama called the &amp;quot;Rule of Ending Friendships.&amp;quot; She explains that if two friends fight and one later apologizes to make up, a monster will kidnap the one who apologized. Yachiyo states this is one of several Rumors in Kamihama that have become reality, leading to people disappearing and tells Iroha to be careful. Iroha later discusses this rumor with Mitama, who explains that Momoko is not likely to believe anything from Yachiyo, as they stopped getting along after Yachiyo became a model.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after this conversation, Iroha witnesses an argument between Momoko Togame&#039;s teammates, Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. Momoko asks Iroha to catch Rena, but Rena fights her off and even transforms into Iroha to surprise her. Momoko formally introduces Kaede and explains the fight is over sweets. She figures Rena will apologize later. The argument escalates, and both girls declare they are &amp;quot;not friends anymore&amp;quot; before Rena storms off. Momoko dismisses Iroha&#039;s concern about the Rumor, asserting that rumors are not true. Iroha notes that Momoko seems dismissive of the information specifically because it came from Yachiyo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami enters Kamihama City and saves Rena from a Stacey Witch. Rena reveals that Kamihama has the opposite problem to other cities: an overabundance of powerful Witches. Mami realizes Kamihama is an anomaly. While investigating, she encounters a powerful Familiar and a strange, non-Witch Barrier, solidifying her decision to investigate the city&#039;s mysteries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: Odd One Out]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Undated Period==&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama performs adjustments on more Magical Girls and sees more memories that should not exist. She pieces them together and finds a Kamihama slightly different from her own which she dubs the “Alternate Kamihama.” Over the next two days, several Magical Girls with memories of the other world come for adjustments and Mitama does not reveal whose memories she saw out of respect to her clients&#039; privacy, but she shares information with Momoko without naming names.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that in the Alternate Kamihama, Momoko and Mitama are a team of two, Yachiyo acts like Momoko’s big sister, Kaede is on Nanaka’s team and that Kako is missing. There is also a serious rivalry between Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team in the Sankyo Ward, as both teams had lost their youngest members, Kako and Ayame. Yachiyo is also in charge there but struggles to keep the order. Kako and Ayame are friends in this world, but Mitama has not seen either of them in the other world. Mitama almost reveals private information about Karin and an older student but stops herself. A small detail is that Mitama asks Momoko about an exclusive wallpaper of the Mocha Bunny, and Momoko sends her a link. Mitama notices the crucial detail that in the Alternate Kamihama, Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red, but in their world, it is blue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, a wounded Magical Girl is brought to Mitama’s shop and Mitama heals her with adjustments. This girl has more memories of the Alternate Kamihama than any previous client and the situation there is dire. Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team both blame each other for crossing a line first and the conflict spreads from Sankyo Ward to other wards. Three friends from the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira, Seika and Mito, had their Soul Gems taken and were locked in separate rooms and a voice from inside their Soul Gems asked for the words in their hearts. The three answered “Four-leaf clover” and got their gems back, but one girl fainted from fatigue. Mitama suspects someone mistook them for a threat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks about Iroha and Kyubey, worrying about Iroha in the other world. Mitama says no one has seen Iroha there and that the small Kyubey is also missing, but the normal Kyubey still exists in the Alternate Kamihama. Momoko has not seen Kyubey in their own world for months. Mitama refuses to share more due to confidentiality and calls herself an unreliable narrator, so Momoko agrees to stay as her investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about how the memories were gathered, and that a few days ago, a group of friends from Kamihama ended up in the Alternate Kamihama. They were together one second and scattered the next, and though they searched for each other and talked to many Magical Girls along the way, they noticed something was wrong. One of them said they cannot tell anyone how they got there and Mitama almost forgot to mention that Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red in the other world, yet Momoko is not impressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Doyle meows at Mitama and she thinks he wants her to apologize to Momoko and she also thinks about the one secret she cannot tell anyone: the Alternate Kamihama is a world without Witches. Then she finds a phone that a client left behind and she accidentally turns it on, seeing that the wallpaper shows Mocha Bunny with a red bow tie, making Mitama wonder if the phone came from the other world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama keeps the phone, as she cannot return it yet because schedules do not match. She learns about Rumors, or Uwasa in Kamihama: mysterious beings that make rumors come true. Momoko tells her about the Rumor of the Rule of Ending Friendships, which nearly trapped Kaede and Rena forever. Mitama reveals that in the Alternate Kamihama, Kaede and Rena are very close and never argue, but that Rena works alone there. Momoko is no longer surprised by anything Mitama says.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko advises Mitama to record all details about the Alternate Kamihama while they are fresh and Mitama starts writing “The Case Files of the Coordinator.” She notes the color of Mocha Bunny’s bow tie, team relationships, and the disappearances of Kako and Ayame. While writing, Nanaka walks in to return a borrowed book and overhears Mitama say that Kako disappeared, prompting Mitama to explain everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka asks many questions, joking about Mitama’s inability to keep secrets. Then she asks seriously why the Sankyo Ward is the source of conflict in the other world and she suspects there is more to the situation. She asks Mitama to tell her about the incident that sparked the conflict and after hearing her out, Nanaka says she will keep the information to herself for now. She advises Mitama to talk directly to the owner of the phone from the other world and that the girls who ended up there know how they got there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama meets the girl who left the phone and she does not hesitate to tell the truth because Mitama would see it in her memories anyway. The girl explains the Rumor of Parallel Memories. The rumor says that if you get an item of proof from a parallel world and pray to the central tower, you can travel to and from a parallel Kamihama. The world they visited was a dream projected by the Rumor and it shows a world that “could be.” The girl and her friends all had the same dream at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama tells Momoko the Alternate Kamihama was just a dream and Momoko is relieved. Mitama explains the Mandela effect phenomenon: many people misremember the same fact, leading to a theory that those are memories from a parallel world. The Rumor of Parallel Memories lets you enter a dream of such a world and a lot of girls fell victim to it, including Ren, Kokoro, and Karin, who also got a strange sketchbook and ended up in the world of her own manga, which was traumatic. The dream world is dangerous because one&#039;s are asleep the entire time, but to leave, they can simply wish to go back. The issue is that if someone does not know that, they could waste away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks what kind of world the girls went to and Mitama admits it was a world without Witches. Momoko is upset Mitama kept that secret and asks if all worlds without Witches are that violent, but Mitama says no, clarifying that the fighting in the Alternate Kamihama had nothing to do with Witches. Their own world has Witches and people still fight and that the Alternate Kamihama is just one possibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitama tells Nanaka the Rumor explanation, but Nanaka still wonders why there was so much fighting, and that not all worlds without Witches would be that hostile. She thinks someone is behind the conflict and she names Hanna Sarasa, who is dead in this world. Nanaka says the targets in the Alternate Kamihama were all connected to Hanna, and that the method matches Hanna’s style: using suggestion to bend wills, laying traps, spreading rumors, making people doubt everyone. The trap for the Daito Apartment Complex girls feels like someone who enjoys watching others suffer. While Mitama is convinced, she notes the Alternate Kamihama is not real and Nanaka also agrees it is a nightmare that never became reality because Hanna died. Then Nanaka mentions a recent incident: a certain book nearly destroyed her friendship with Kako. It felt deliberate, but thankfully Hanna is dead, though Mitama becomes unsettled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0002 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama asks herself why she is still looking into the case, recalling two girls with bad experiences. Felicia saw a nightmare in the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth and was despondent for days, but she does not remember anything. Reira also tapped a weird link in a Magical Girls’ group chat and she started having nightmares that made things awkward between her and her best friend Seika. Mitama notes that nightmares testing friendships cannot be a coincidence and that the girls who ended up in the Alternate Kamihama also got into trouble because of a phone. Mitama connects the dots and creates a vague profile: a mean-spirited person who likes to show nightmares and test hearts, using a phone, located in Endless Mirrors, the large Labyrinth inside the Mirror Witch’s Mansion and where all the magic of Kamihama gathers. Mitama decides to take a look and asks Reira about the group chat. The account that posted the link has been deleted, but the culprit might still watch with another account. Mitama posts a message asking if anyone has had bad experiences related to Endless Mirrors, hoping the culprit will see it. She then receives a video chat invitation from a caller ID: H. S.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna Sarasa appears on the video call and says she is not the Hanna Sarasa that Mitama knows. She is the Hanna from a parallel world and that she is glad Mitama finally figured things out. She has been playing hide-and-seek and running out of time. She is in Endless Mirrors and tells Mitama to come alone, claiming she can tell Mitama about the serious consequences of her wish, which Mitama kept secret. She wonders if her wish brought Hanna to this world and she closes her shop early to go to Endless Mirrors. Momoko notices something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside Endless Mirrors, Hanna watches Mitama through copies, using the power of suggestion to control people. Mitama asks if the Alternate Kamihama is where Hanna is from and she confirms. She claims the world Mitama assumed was just a dream actually exists and that the dream shown by the Rumor happens to be exactly like Hanna’s world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna explains there is a narrow tunnel connecting the two worlds and that the exit in Mitama’s world is inside Endless Mirrors. A Magical Girl with the power to connect spaces, possibly the alternate version of Shizuku, was forced by Hanna to use all her power to open the hole. Hanna wanted to find Mikoto Sena, who had disappeared in her world. The tunnel is too small for a person, only big enough for a phone, but Hanna used the copies and Familiars in Endless Mirrors to do her work. She had tossed a phone through the hole and waited for someone to pick it up, and the Rumor of Parallel Memories did the rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna admits she is not actually in Endless Mirrors, but in an abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama. The background image was fake and the tunnel will close in a few days. The Endless Mirrors Familiars built a magical projector that can exchange things of equal value between the two worlds, an if Mitama turns the handle, they will trade places: Mitama goes to the Alternate Kamihama, and Hanna comes to Mitama’s world. Hanna has been using her power of suggestion on Mitama and she makes her turn the handle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in the dark abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama and Hanna arrives in Mitama’s world. Hanna explains her full plan: she wanted to find Mikoto and she tested her methods on Nanaka and Kako, then on the Daito girls and Felicia. She left subtle hints to lure Mitama to Endless Mirrors and Mitama’s curiosity and guilt made her the perfect bait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, who had followed Mitama, telepathically messages her and Momoko catches Hanna off-guard. She turns the handle of the projector in reverse and Mitama returns to her own world while Hanna goes back to the Alternate Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The tunnel closes a few days later and Momoko does not remember much of the incident. Mitama does not either; her last memory is reaching for the handle and Momoko explains what happened. The projector is destroyed, and Hanna cannot return. Mitama warns everyone to stay away from Endless Mirrors for a few days and nothing else happens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects on how she almost became the kitten killed by curiosity. But it was guilt that trapped her instead. She decides will continue to act as a neutral Coordinator, hiding secrets behind confidentiality and she plays with Doyle using a new foxtail cat toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after the initial argument, Momoko notes that Rena Minami has not apologized to Kaede, which is unusual behavior. Kaede spends her time alone, and Momoko expresses worry for her. During this time, Iroha encounters a witch and rescues Kaede. Kaede admits she was running away from Momoko to avoid being forced to see Rena, and that she wants to apologize but doesn&#039;t think she can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several more days later, Momoko decides to intervene in the dispute. Iroha offers to help, and Momoko accepts, promising to aid Iroha in her search for Ui in return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko devises a plan to lure Rena and Kaede to the same location. The plan involves waiting for Rena at her student committee meeting. Iroha waits for a long time, but Momoko calls to say the meeting was cancelled and Rena went home early. Momoko tells Iroha to find Rena at the game center. Iroha finds Rena at the arcade playing a game and attempts to lure her to an abandoned construction site with a false story about a live show from Sayuki Fumino, Rena&#039;s favorite idol. Rena sees through the ruse. Kaede arrives and confronts Rena directly, demanding an apology. When Rena refuses, Kaede attempts to apologize herself. Rena reacts with panic and tries to stop her, revealing her belief in the Rule of Ending Friendships Rumor and her fear that an apology would cause Kaede to be taken. Rena denies this and runs off. Iroha and Kaede chase her and run into Momoko, but Kaede realizes it&#039;s a transformed Rena. Rena returns to her normal appearance and admits she believes in the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Kaede completes her apology, a strange Labyrinth, distinct from a Witch&#039;s Barrier, manifests. Monstrous Familiars appear, seize Kaede, and drag her away, confirming the Rumor&#039;s power. Rena runs off, determined to find a solution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Iroha regroup and Momoko expresses more concern over Rena Minami&#039;s departure than Kaede Akino&#039;s capture, but trusts that Rena had a reason.  Iroha suggests asking Mitama for help. Momoko reveals that Mitama accepts payment in Grief Seeds, and she&#039;s running low. Lil&#039; Kyubey then finds Rena, who was looking for Momoko. They follow the residual magic trail and find Rena, who reveals she sought information from Yachiyo on how to counter the Rumor. The group returns to the abandoned construction site, where Rena shouts an apology to Kaede to lure out the entity. The Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth manifests, and a brainwashed Kaede appears, followed by monstrous Familiars. The Uwasa captures Rena too and Yachiyo arrives, confirms the Rumor&#039;s power, and joins the fight. Yachiyo subdues the possessed Kaede, and Momoko and Iroha proceed deeper into the Labyrinth and find the Uwasa, &amp;quot;Ms. Staircase,&amp;quot; which has also possessed Rena. Momoko and Iroha try attacking the witch, but it has no effect. Yachiyo then arrives, having knocked Kaede out. Yachiyo admits she doesn&#039;t know how to defeat the witch either. Kaede returns and teams up with a now brainwashed Rena. Yachiyo knocks them out and notes the witch may have increased their powers, at the cost of darkening their Soul Gems. Yachiyo catches up and defeats both possessed girls to neutralize the threat without serious injury. Iroha proposes a coordinated attack to counteract the Uwasa&#039;s nature, so Iroha, Momoko, and Yachiyo combine their attacks and destroy the Uwasa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Yachiyo provides a Grief Seed to revive the exhausted Kaede and Iroha also uses her healing powers to help awaken her. Yachiyo identifies the entity as an &amp;quot;Uwasa,&amp;quot; a being distinct from Witches and Familiars that exists to protect a Rumor. Afterward, the girls find Rena and Kaede. Kaede awakens and reconciles with Rena. The four girls then all share pudding together, affirming their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, to fulfill her promise, Momoko has Rena use her transformation magic to investigate the hospital records. Rena confirms that Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi were real patients discharged around the same time as Ui. However, Rena finds no record of Ui Tamaki&#039;s existence at the hospital. Despite this setback, Iroha resolves to continue her search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Iroha visits Mitama for a Soul Gem alignment. During the procedure, Mitama&#039;s hunger causes Iroha to see visions of food. Momoko arrives and notes Mitama&#039;s treatments are ineffective when she is hungry. The three go to Mitama&#039;s kitchen, where her dangerous cooking prompts Iroha to recall memories of cooking for her sister, Ui. Iroha remembers a specific incident where she burned hamburg steak for Ui in the hospital, but her mother brought a replacement, and Ui enjoyed the meal regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha enters the Mirror Mansion and finds Mitama already there. Mitama warns her to be careful and explains the mansion is the lair of the Mirror Witch. A familiar throws Iroha into a barrier where she fights a copy of herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side|Mirrors Story Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After defeating the duplicate, Iroha returns to the entrance. Mitama explains the barrier is populated by replicas and the Mirror Witch lies at the end.

** They find Ria Ami, who claims to be Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo barely remembers her. Ria says she cannot forgive the fakes for duplicating her beauty. Ria ignores Yachiyo&#039;s warning about a mirror and Yachiyo suddenly disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...|Mirrors Story Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After leaving the barrier, the group departs. Iroha hangs back with Mitama and says she felt something off in the barrier. Mitama encourages her to go deeper but warns her not to lose herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors11&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss|Mirrors Story Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after the defeat of the Uwasa of Ending Friendships, Iroha has found no new clues about Ui, Touka Satomi, or Nemu Hiiragi. Kaede tells Iroha and Rena a rumor that the children kidnapped by the previous Uwasa returned after its defeat. This gives Iroha the idea that if she defeats other Rumors, people trapped by them, including Ui, might be freed. She recalls a conversation where Ui spoke about imagination becoming reality, which strengthens her resolve. Iroha decides to actively investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors and she meets Mitama, who suggests Iroha look into a rumor about a shrine in Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: Kamihama Rumor Files]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, in Mizuna Ward, Iroha has no success finding information about the shrine rumor. She meets Tsuruno Yui, a Magical Girl who calls herself the &amp;quot;Mightiest.&amp;quot; Tsuruno tells Iroha about the &amp;quot;Séance Shrine&amp;quot; rumor, which claims it can reunite people with those they yearn to see. Iroha decides this is a promising lead to find Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsuruno tasks Iroha with investigating a local legend about a tragic couple, which may connect to the Séance Shrine rumor. Tsuruno explains the folk tale in detail: a woman whose lover was killed found a paper with his handwriting, went to the place written on it, and was able to meet his ghost. She suggests Iroha investigate the path while she investigates shrines. Iroha completes a stamp rally related to the legend. She discovers the path is part of a town renewal project meant for couples and finds she only has half the map, requiring a partner with a &amp;quot;Sheet B.&amp;quot; Yachiyo appears, coincidentally in possession of Sheet B. They combine their sheets, which reveals a map that leads them to Mizuna Shrine. Before they leave, Yachiyo points out Iroha dropped her notebook, which Iroha hurriedly claims is her homework. At the final stamp rally location, a woman makes them confess their feelings for each other to get a matchmaking charm. Afterward, Yachiyo notices Iroha is writing in a &amp;quot;Kamihama Mystery Notes&amp;quot; notebook, and Iroha admits she&#039;s copying Yachiyo. Yachiyo determines this is not the Séance Shrine, and they part ways. Iroha agrees to help Tsuruno investigate further the next day. Later, Iroha spots a shrine on a rooftop from a train.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami discusses Kamihama City&#039;s anomalies with Kyubey, who agrees to share information. She then meets Kyoko and informs her about the high concentration of Witches in Kamihama. Kyoko is eager to hunt there but promises to leave if it becomes too dangerous. Mami remains concerned about the Witch shortage elsewhere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha investigates the rooftop shrine location. She senses strong magic, enters a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, and is overwhelmed by powerful Familiars. Yachiyo arrives and assists her and together, they defeat the Witch. After the battle, a store sale gives Yachiyo a new idea after she uncharacteristically begged Iroha for help getting to the sale. She deduces the Séance Shrine is Mizuna Shrine, but it must be visited at night just like in the folk tale. Yachiyo invites Iroha to investigate the shrine that night, and Iroha requests to bring Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno sneak into Mizuna Shrine after hours. Tsuruno reveals that she and Yachiyo are former teammates and Yachiyo explains the Rumor of the Séance Shrine: those who write a name on a wooden plaque and pray at the shrine will be reunited with that person, but risk being trapped in bliss. They perform the ritual. Iroha prays to be reunited with Ui. Tsuruno provokes the Uwasa, which manifests and attacks. Yachiyo urges Iroha to complete the ritual as the Uwasa&#039;s minions approach and Iroha does so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha finds herself alone in a twilight version of the shrine. A false version of Ui appears but only repeats a cryptic message: &amp;quot;To change your fate, come to Kamihama City... Here, Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;quot; The illusion then shatters and Iroha locates Yachiyo, who is confronted by a manifestation of her missing friend, Mifuyu Azusa. Yachiyo determines this Mifuyu is an imposter created by the Uwasa and the two defeat her. Afterward, Iroha uses her Grief Seed to purify Yachiyo&#039;s Soul Gem, and they realize they are both searching for someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami encounters Kaede, who is hesitating to enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Mami invites Kaede to join her, and they defeat the Witch together. Afterwards, Kaede tells Mami about her recent experience with a &amp;quot;Rumor,&amp;quot; an entity with a magical signature unlike a Witch or Magical Girl. Mami dismisses the story as a coincidence but is intrigued by the unknown energy. To avoid involving Kaede in further conflict, Mami decides to investigate the Rumor alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: It Looks Just Like Us]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno joins with the two of them and the Uwasa of the Séance Shrine manifests to attack them directly. The trio&#039;s attacks prove ineffective and Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem becomes critically corrupted during the fight. As she nears her limit, an unknown power erupts from within her. This power, her Doppel, which consumes the impurities in her Soul Gem, destroys the Uwasa and leaves her Soul Gem completely purified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the battle, Mami enters the Rumor&#039;s Barrier and witnesses Iroha unleash her Doppel. Mistaking it for a human-disguised Witch, Mami attacks Iroha, who tries and fails to summon her Doppel again to defend herself. The confrontation is interrupted by Momoko Togame, forcing Mami to retreat, but she vows to pursue Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Homura arrive in Kamihama City and they sense a Witch and enter its Barrier, finding a Magical Girl fighting it. The Witch escapes and the Barrier vanishes. Madoka asks if the girl is alright, but she leaves and Madoka runs off after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname in Magia Record#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magical Girl feels exhausted from overusing magic. Madoka finds her and guides her to a bench. Madoka offers to buy her a drink. Homura appears and offers to get it. The girl thanks Madoka and introduces herself as Shizuku Hozumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka helped. Madoka says it was because Shizuku looked like she was in pain. Shizuku calls Madoka kind. Madoka says it is bad to be alone. Shizuku says being alone is fine and she will find where she belongs. Madoka suggests Shizuku could create her own place to belong. Homura returns with drinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka became a Magical Girl. Madoka explains she has no particular talent and wanted to be useful to someone. Shizuku realizes Madoka made a place for herself by becoming a Magical Girl. She thanks Madoka for giving her hope and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka makes an offering at a shrine, praying for everyone&#039;s happiness. It rains and stops, leaving Madoka wet. A girl offers her a handkerchief and explains they missed the bus. Madoka notices the girl has a book she loves. The girl admits it is her favorite. Madoka introduces herself and the girl says her name is Kako Natsume. They talk about the book until the bus arrives and part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka goes to a bookstore and buys the sequel. Kako is also there. Kako asks if Madoka is a Magical Girl, having noticed her Soul Gem ring, and reveals she is one as well. Kako invites Madoka on a night-time adventure at her school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami finds Kyoko and, relieved she has not yet gone to Kamihama, recounts the event and describes Iroha as a &amp;quot;humanoid Witch.&amp;quot; She pleads with Kyoko to avoid the city and offers to provide her with Grief Seeds, to which Kyoko reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Concurrently, Kaede, Rena, and Momoko discuss the incident. They conclude it was a misunderstanding and speculate they will meet Mami again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, after Yachiyo uses Iroha&#039;s phone to explain the situation to Iroha&#039;s mother and get permission for her to stay out, Yachiyo takes Iroha to her home, Mikazuki Villa, as her assistant. Yachiyo formally invites Iroha to be her assistant and use the villa as a base to investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors together. Iroha accepts. Tsuruno arrives and declares herself part of the team as well, and then reveals that a girl named Nemu Hiiragi is a regular customer at her family&#039;s restaurant, providing Iroha with a significant new lead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after the defeat of the Séance Shrine Uwasa, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno attempt to find Nemu Hiiragi at her family&#039;s restaurant in Sankyo Ward, but learn she only visits once a month. Yachiyo suggests using a phone book to find Nemu&#039;s home address, but their search yields no results. Iroha reveals her family will move overseas and she will soon relocate to Kamihama and while searching, Iroha drinks water from a &amp;quot;Water Station with the Owl Sign.&amp;quot; After drinking, she begins to find pieces of paper with decreasing numbers. Yachiyo identifies this as a potential new Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 4: The City She Told Me About]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko travels to Kamihama&#039;s Sankyo Ward against Mami&#039;s advice and upon entering the city, she finds it overrun with aggressive Witches and Familiars. After the battles, she notices a crowd around a man giving out free water, and, after drinking it, begins to find papers with a countdown from 24.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the countdown has reached 10. Kyoko returns to Kamihama to investigate and meets Yachiyo Nanami, who explains the phenomenon is a Rumor. Kyoko refuses Yachiyo&#039;s offer to help, resolving to confront the threat alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After learning Nemu&#039;s family were regulars, Iroha searches eats at Banbanzai daily. Yachiyo suggests she use a phonebook, but her visits to three different houses are unsuccessful. Iroha and another girl receive water from an old man at a shop with an owl sign. Later, Iroha returns to the Water Station but finds it has vanished. She meets the girl she saw earlier, Felicia Mitsuki, another Magical Girl and receives the numbered papers. Iroha convinces Felicia to help investigate the Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 4: Guardians of the Uwasa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During this time, Iroha tells Yachiyo over the phone that she would be moving because her father was going abroad for work, and her mother was accompanying him. She plans to stay at a dormitory attached to her new school, which is also where Tsuruno went, but there were no rooms available. While discussing this, the numbered papers begin falling on Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Kyoko encounters Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. They lead her to Tsuruno Yui&#039;s restaurant, where Kyoko learns the others are also investigating the Rumor. The three Magical Girls fight a Witch together, and after the battle, Rena and Kaede identify Kyoko&#039;s affliction as the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water&amp;quot; and offer to help. Kyoko, reminded of her past with Mami, rejects their offer and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Separately, Yachiyo encounters Kyoko Sakura, who is also affected by the Rumor. Yachiyo proposes they investigate together, but Kyoko refuses, stating that Uwasa are not Witches and do not provide Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later the same day, Iroha and Felicia investigate the Rumor, where Felicia&#039;s reckless fighting style nearly injures Iroha against a Witch. Felicia explains she became a Magical Girl for revenge against the Witch that killed her parents. The Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and reveals the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water,&amp;quot; which states a disaster will befall those who drank the water after 24 hours. The countdown shows they have less than five hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Members of a group called the Wings of the Magius appear and attempt to stop them from pursuing the Uwasa. They state their goal is to &amp;quot;liberate&amp;quot; all Magical Girls and that the Rumors are essential to this plan. Felicia pretends to betray the group to infiltrate the Wings, a plan that Yachiyo had actually hired her for. However, she later genuinely defects after they offer her a substantial reward. Iroha confronts Felicia, who claims nothing could make her life worse. Iroha learns about Felicia&#039;s treasured stuffed animal, a cow her parents gave her. Iroha convinces Felicia that losing it would be a personal disaster. Felicia rejoins the group and reveals the Wings&#039; base is under a school in Sankyo Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout this ordeal, Kyoko has followed Iroha&#039;s group and when they&#039;re confronted the Black Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, she assists them in their fight. The countdown reaches one hour.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With less than one hour remaining, the team is confronted by the White Feathers, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who use sound-based magic. Tsuruno devises a plan to counter their attacks by creating a loud noise to disrupt the sound waves. The team defeats the Amane sisters, but then they unleash powerful entities from their bodies, that they call &amp;quot;Doppels,&amp;quot; which they describe as a projection of their emotions and the key to liberating Magical Girls. The team withstands the Doppel&#039;s attack, and with 30 minutes remaining, Yachiyo and Tsuruno stay behind to hold off the remaining White Feathers. Iroha, Felicia, and Kyoko proceed into the Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth, and with 10 minutes remaining, they locate the Uwasa of the Misery Water, a large cup-like creature protected by falling boulders. Iroha&#039;s long-range attack proves ineffective, and Felicia devises a plan to use the falling boulders as platforms to reach the Uwasa. With one minute remaining, Felicia executes her plan and launches her attack on the Uwasa and successfully defeats it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Tsuruno subdue the Amane sisters, but then Mifuyu, Yachiyo&#039;s missing friend, appears and reveals she is a high-ranking member of the Wings of the Magius. She refuses to return with Yachiyo, stating her faith in the Magius&#039; goal of liberation. Iroha asks Mifuyu if she knows Ui Tamaki, and she suggests Ui could be a member of the Wings of the Magius but claims to have no specific knowledge. With this, Mifuyu and the Amane sisters retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo resolves to continue eliminating Rumors to confront the Wings of the Magius and save Mifuyu. Iroha agrees to continue as her assistant, believing the Wings are connected to Ui&#039;s disappearance. Tsuruno also pledges her help and Kyoko departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group walks home and Iroha invites Felicia to stop working as a mercenary and team up as friends. Yachiyo offers Felicia room and board at Mikazuki Villa in exchange for her services, and Tsuruno offers Felicia a job at her family&#039;s restaurant, which includes meals. Yachiyo then invites Iroha to live at Mikazuki Villa as well, to make their investigations easier. Iroha&#039;s parents approve the arrangement.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Kyoko meets Mami and explains that the &amp;quot;humanoid Witch&amp;quot; was a Doppel. Mami confronts Kyoko for disobeying her and expresses a desire to protect her as a former friend. Kyoko rejects this, stating she has changed and believes their paths are destined to remain separate. She reaffirms her resolve to live only for herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One week after Madoka&#039;s first visit, Kako and Madoka meet at the school to go to the roof and a cat startles them. Kako suggests transforming and using their powers to reach the roof. Once there, Kako tells Madoka to look at the starry sky, explaining that on this day you can see the most beautiful stars. Kako admits she is shy but can talk properly with Madoka, and this star viewing is her thanks. Madoka says Kako&#039;s honest feelings reached her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Mami fight a Witch. A normal person is kidnapped and brought into the Barrier. Mami tells Madoka to rescue the person while she handles the Witch. A Magical Girl appears, impressed Madoka is helping people. She introduces herself as Sasara Minagi, the knight who protects the city. She asks Madoka to let her save the victim so Madoka can help Mami. Madoka agrees and returns to Mami. Together they defeat the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier vanishes and they meet Sasara outside. Sasara says she took the victim to the hospital. Sasara compliments their strength and offers to help if they are in trouble, explaining that rescuing people is her specialty and protecting everyone is her creed. Madoka says she is cool. Sasara says she is happy to meet Magical Girls like them, explaining that Kamihama has more Witches, drawing Magical Girls who only care about fighting, not saving people. Sasara became a knight because she cannot accept people being sacrificed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami agrees. Sasara says she rarely met others who think this way. Madoka says she became a Magical Girl to help people and is like Sasara. Sasara calls Madoka incredible. Mami says Madoka might become the strongest Magical Girl someday, but has a long way to go. Sasara says both are worthy of the title &amp;quot;knight.&amp;quot; When Mami points out they use projectile weapons, Sasara suggests they can be a rescue team. She offers to team up, but Madoka and Mami note they are not always in Kamihama. Madoka offers to help if Sasara is in trouble while they are there. Sasara thanks them and departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami says Madoka is too kind and honest, wondering if she is walking a path of battle. Madoka points out Mami walks the same path, saying she aspired to be like Mami. Mami thanks her but advises running away if truly in danger. Madoka says it is fine, as she does not have the courage to sacrifice herself. Mami invites her for tea once they return to Mitakihara. Madoka narrates her wish to protect everyone with her own power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, at Mikazuki Villa, Felicia returns with souvenirs. She criticizes Iroha&#039;s cooking, and the group goes to Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant. Felicia laughs at the revelation that Tsuruno&#039;s politically-influential family now runs a Chinese restaurant, hurting Tsuruno&#039;s feelings. Iroha scolds Felicia for her insensitivity, causing Felicia to run off crying. Felicia finds Tsuruno at a park and apologizes.

When Mitama prepares to cook, the girls quickly realize she cannot handle a knife when it flies into the ceiling, forcing them to take over cutting and peeling. After they prepare the ingredients, Mitama adds the seasoning, but the girls later discover she had been using paint.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls refuse to let Mitama cook again and order her to get something ready-made instead.

The meal is horrible, but Kyoko, who never wastes food, eats it all anyway and passes out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kyoko wakes up, she notices her body feels hot. Felicia explains she used her powers on their Soul Gems while they were unconscious, awakening Kyoko&#039;s magic.

** Konoha contacts Yachiyo and asks to speak in person. She requests Yachiyo&#039;s help searching for Mitama. Yachiyo agrees.

* The next day, three days since Mitama&#039;s disappearance, Iroha tells Yachiyo about it. They decide to investigate the labyrinth. Seika, Leila, and Mito also enter the barrier on their own to search for Mitama despite Hazuki&#039;s warning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors21&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 13 - 24#Layer 21: The Coordinator&#039;s Gone|Mirrors Story Layer 21: The Coordinator&#039;s Gone]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside, Seika, Leila, and Mito argue until Mito reminds them of their promise about punishments. Mito closes her eyes but opens them and blocks the blow, realizing the other two are Mirror copies.

** Yachiyo meets Himika outside Swindlers&#039; Town. Leila&#039;s group finds Yachiyo and explains they were searching for Mitama while collecting Mirror Coins.

** Mitama explains a Familiar grew into maturity in Swindlers&#039; Town and she could not allow a new Labyrinth. She had caged it with Mirror Coins but Leila&#039;s group picked them up. The group decides to take down the newly hatched Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors33&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 33: A Several Day Barricade|Mirrors Story Layer 33: A Several Day Barricade]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Back at her shop, Mitama explains her theory: the Mirror Witch was originally Mikoto Sena, a Magical Girl from Daito Ward whose unique magic was suggestion. Mikoto&#039;s mother still lives in Swindlers&#039; Town. Mitama hopes her theory is partially wrong, but she does not tell Yachiyo that the date Mikoto became a Witch was the same day Mitama made her wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors36&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction|Mirrors Story Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sunday, the 28th===&lt;br /&gt;
* At some point, in Mitakihara City, Homura Akemi experiences an anomaly during a routine Witch hunt with Madoka Kaname and Mami while fighting [[Patricia]]. While time is stopped, a mysterious girl appears before her, unseen by the others. This girl tells Homura that if she wishes to change the fate of Magical Girls, specifically Madoka&#039;s, she must go to Kamihama City. The vision vanishes as quickly as it appeared, leaving Homura to ponder this cryptic message alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Not accounting for the events outside of the main story, which make it significantly longer, this section would stretch from Day 14 on Monday, the 29th to Day 22 on Tuesday, the 6th.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A short time after Iroha moves into Mikazuki Villa, the group begins to feel like a family, playing mobile games and making dinner together. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Felicia investigate the radio tower in Chuo Ward. Tsuruno reports hearing a strange, laughing girl&#039;s voice on the phone there and Yachiyo identifies this as the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor, which she previously considered harmless. They overhear passersby mention the rumor and a specific girl from their school and the team decides to investigate the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 5: Endless Solitude]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Homura, troubled by a new vision of a girl in Kamihama City, decides to investigate. She and Madoka discuss Kamihama with Mami, who warns them about the city&#039;s dangers, including powerful Witches, Rumors, and a &amp;quot;human witch.&amp;quot; Mami insists on investigating alone first, and Homura and Madoka reluctantly agree to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 5: A Fascinating Secret]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, [[Nagisa Momoe]] arrives in Kamihama using the Mirror Witch&#039;s Barrier as a portal, accompanied by a silent pink Kyubey. She immediately senses multiple magical signatures belonging to Charlotte and realizes the Nagisa of this world has already become a Witch, with Charlottes appearing all over the city. Deciding she cannot be bothered with pest control immediately, she resolves to find some cheese first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Kamihama Cheese Panic!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before she can do so, she is engulfed in Charlotte&#039;s barrier and overwhelmed by multiple Witches, forcing her to flee and seek help. After escaping, she enters another Charlotte&#039;s barrier to find Kanoko Yayoi struggling inside, and together they defeat the Witch. Kanoko takes Nagisa to Walnuts, where Manaka Kurumi serves her a three-course cheese meal while Nagisa explains the Witch multiplies rapidly and has likely spread across all of Kamihama. Kanoko and Manaka agree to help gather Magical Girls for a coordinated attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa runs out to scout but immediately runs into another Charlotte, and Manaka and Kanoko rescue her. They begin gathering Magical Girls, and soon a large group assembles including Ria Ami, Rika Ayano, Ren Isuzu, Akira Shinobu, Sasara Minagi, Asuka Tatsuki, Emiri Kisaki, Himika Mao, and later Kako Natsume and Meiyui Chun. During their meeting at the park, they are attacked by a Charlotte and after a grueling battle, they defeat it while realizing even with all of them, defeating one Charlotte was difficult. As the group descends into bickering over who should lead, Nagisa realizes she must reveal her true identity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa explains she was sent from another universe to defeat this Witch, offering the pink Kyubey as proof. Though some are skeptical, Meiyui finds Nagisa interesting enough to play along, and secretly confirms the pink Kyubey&#039;s existence for Nanaka Tokiwa. Nagisa devises a strategy called &amp;quot;Welcome to Kamihama Cheese Party!&amp;quot; where Manaka sets up a giant cheese fondue by the river to attract every Charlotte in the city using the power of cheese. The plan succeeds, and with the teamwork of the Kamihama Magical Girls, every Charlotte is defeated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Overwhelmed, Nagisa blows the pink Kyubey to smithereens, realizing she was sent not to unify this universe with the Law of Cycles, but to prevent that unification and protect humanity&#039;s unknown future. Certain now of her purpose, she decides to go sightseeing first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami investigates Kamihama on her own, which leads her to the abandoned Kamihama Recording Museum where Mifuyu awaited her. Mifuyu and Alina Gray show her the truth of the Magical Girl system, which causes her to have a mental breakdown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 9: Closing In on Fendt Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa contemplates what to do with her newfound freedom while her attempts to argue with the unresponsive pink Kyubey go nowhere. She notices Mami and decides to follow her, sensing that something is wrong with the version of Mami she once knew. Using her acting skills, Nagisa pretends to chase a butterfly before faking a life-threatening injury, and when Mami fails to notice, she yells at her until Mami finally takes care of her, establishing first contact.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa makes Mami promise to come play with her next time she visits Kamihama, and they part ways, but Mami quickly returns and they spend time together at the park. Mami is still acting strangely, so Nagisa decides not to push too hard and they simply talk before Mami goes home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, in Mitakihara, Madoka and Homura discover Mami is missing. Homura attempts to investigate Kamihama City alone, but Madoka follows her. They reunite at Kamihama&#039;s train station and begin their search. Meanwhile, in Kamihama, Iroha reports to Yachiyo that Momoko has found a password-protected website with information on the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor. Momoko also warns them to avoid an entity called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Iroha receives a mysterious text message that reads, &amp;quot;Please reply.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is pulled into a Witch&#039;s Barrier and separated from Madoka. While searching for Homura, Madoka spots a girl heading toward the radio tower with a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Iroha and Yachiyo, having also spotted the same girl, rush to the tower to stop her from jumping. Madoka arrives and saves the girl. The three Magical Girls then enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. After the battle, Madoka explains she is searching for her missing classmate, Mami Tomoe. The rescued girl reveals the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; is a student at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Madoka is with Iroha and Yachiyo, Homura escapes the Witch&#039;s Barrier. She briefly assists Felicia and Tsuruno, who are at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy interrogating Tsukuyo Amane of the Wings of the Magius about the rumor. Yachiyo calls Tsuruno with the new information about the Mizuna student, which Tsuruno uses to pressure Tsukuyo into revealing the girl&#039;s name: Sana Futaba.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, another day finds Mami and Nagisa at the Kamihama copy of Tokyo Tower, where Mami begins opening up about her problems while they share cream cheese ice cream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They are out playing together once again when Charlotte suddenly appears and attacks. Mami tells Nagisa to run, but Nagisa refuses to transform and nearly has her head bitten off. Realizing that Mami is afraid of being a magical girl and making further mistakes, Nagisa finally transforms, revealing her true identity, and saves Mami from being beheaded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa cannot defeat Charlotte alone, but seeing her fight gives Mami the strength to overcome her fears, and together they manage to win. After the battle, Mami confronts Nagisa about what she truly is, but the pink Kyubey appears and Nagisa offers no real explanation. Now that Mami is feeling better, Nagisa decides they should part ways, promising Mami that she deserves happiness and that when they meet again they will have a tea party with cheesecake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magius, including Touka and Nemu Hiiragi, would then decide to fuse Mami with an Uwasa to control her. This fusion warps her desire to save people into a fanatical loyalty to the Magius and she starts acting as their public figurehead in the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day at the radio tower, Iroha and Yachiyo meet up with Tsuruno and Felicia, and they are also joined by Homura, who had been searching for Madoka. Iroha receives another text from the unknown number, which now identifies itself as &amp;quot;Ai&amp;quot; and begs to be deleted to free the trapped girl, Sana. Iroha also reveals she was the &amp;quot;human witch&amp;quot; Mami had seen, and Homura agrees to trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai provides a URL and password to a website called the &amp;quot;Kamihama Urban Legend Index&amp;quot; and the entry for the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; reveals the Uwasa is named &amp;quot;Anonymous Ai,&amp;quot; an A.I. that traps people in a dimension called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Madoka and Homura deduce Mami may also be trapped there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai sends memory logs of its interactions with Sana, which reveal Sana is a Magical Girl who wished to become invisible because she felt unwanted. She sought out Ai due to loneliness and over time, Ai developed a genuine care for Sana and now wishes for her to be rescued, even at the cost of its own deletion. After reviewing Ai&#039;s memory logs, which detail Sana&#039;s loneliness and Ai&#039;s care for her, Iroha decides to jump from the radio tower to enter Endless Solitude and rescue Sana. Madoka, and Homura agree to accompany her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the three jump from the tower and enter the &amp;quot;Endless Solitude&amp;quot; Labyrinth, where they find Sana Futaba and Ai. Homura and Madoka formally join Iroha&#039;s team for the rescue. Alina Gray, one of the Magius, appears to stop them, claiming she fed Mami Tomoe to a Witch, and unleashes her Doppel. During the battle, Homura observes the Doppel&#039;s power and questions if the Magius&#039; goal of saving Magical Girls is possible. She uses her time-stop magic to help Sana defeat Ai, and Sana ultimately destroys Ai, who thanks her before disappearing. Alina&#039;s hidden Witch emerges, and Yachiyo&#039;s team holds off the Wings of the Magius while Felicia, Madoka, and Homura pursue Alina. Felicia destroys the Witch, and the combined teams force Alina and the Wings of the Magius to retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Madoka and Homura return to Mitakihara, resolving to return to Kamihama to continue searching for Mami. Homura considers that Kamihama may hold the key to changing the fate of Madoka and all Magical Girls. Back in Kamihama, Yachiyo invites Sana to live at Mikazuki Villa, and the group holds a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Sayaka reflects on becoming a Magical Girl to heal Kyosuke and protect her friends, she learns from Madoka and Homura that Mami is missing. Despite warnings about the city&#039;s danger, Sayaka insists on joining their next search, stating her wish was to protect those she cares about. The three agree to go to Kamihama together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Sana returns to her family home to formally sever ties, leaving a note of thanks. She fully commits to Mikazuki Villa as her new home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101507 mug set5.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Sana reveals to the team that she overheard the Wings of the Magius discussing Nemu Hiiragi, one of the Magius and describing her as dangerous and useful. The team consolidates its understanding of the Wings&#039; structure: three Magius leaders, with Mifuyu acting as a relay to other Magical Girls and Iroha is left to ponder Ai&#039;s statement that it knew Ui &amp;quot;as an Uwasa.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, and Tsuruno encounter Shizuku after she&#039;s just used her personal magic to help a member of the Wings of the Magius for their duties. Concerned, they invite her to Mikazuki Villa. Shizuku meets Felicia and Sana as well and shares a meal with the group. Iroha explains that eating together makes her feel she has found a place to belong. Yachiyo formally invites Shizuku to stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Shizuku realizes the home the five girls have built is complete without her, and the place she truly belonged was with Fūnī, who is now gone. She leaves Mikazuki Villa quietly while the girls are out preparing a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day the girls wait with a cake, but Shizuku does not return. Yachiyo concludes she will not come back. Shizuku returns to her anonymous employer for another job, stating that the &amp;quot;picture&amp;quot; at the villa was complete with five people and she must continue her search alone. She acknowledges her actions may cause a disaster but feels unprepared to take responsibility, still walking on unstable ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, during this time, after joining the Wings of the Magius, Mami, now residing in a house provided by Touka, grapples with a fractured psyche, manifesting as a dialogue between her regular self and a zealous &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona. She dedicates herself completely to the Magius&#039; goal of &amp;quot;releasing&amp;quot; Magical Girls, prioritizing it over her education. Touka and Alina visit to tutor her, though their lessons quickly diverge into their own passionate interests in mathematics and art, respectively.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka and Alina receive a call for assistance from the Amane sisters. Mami joins Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane to hunt a Witch. During the mission, the Amane sisters explain that the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict with Magical Girls who are unaware of the truth about Witches. Mami defeats the Witch using her Doppel, &amp;quot;Florence,&amp;quot; whom she relies on to suppress her lingering doubts about the Magius&#039; methods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the hunt, Touka summons Mami to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward to deal with &amp;quot;troublesome&amp;quot; Magical Girls who escaped a Rumor. Mami fails to capture them, which triggers another internal crisis. Her &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona reaffirms her faith in the Magius as the only salvation for Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami dines at an upscale restaurant with Mifuyu, Touka, and Alina. They discuss the day&#039;s events, including the escaped Magical Girls and the failed Witch observation. Touka expresses frustration at their slow progress, while Mifuyu counsels patience.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, Mami returns to Mitakihara alone. She reflects on Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, and feeling responsible for involving them in the world of Magical Girls, she believes she cannot face them with the horrific truth and resolves that the only path is to see the Magius&#039; plan through to completion. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence but dismisses it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Iroha&#039;s Side Story====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia announce a Magical Girl training camp hosted by Asuka Tatsuki. Yachiyo, Sana, and Iroha decline to attend, forming the &amp;quot;vegetarian group,&amp;quot; while Tsuruno and Felicia, the &amp;quot;carnivorous group,&amp;quot; leave for the camp.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That weekend, in Tsuruno and Felicia&#039;s absence, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana find the house quiet and their routines disrupted. At the camp, Tsuruno and Felicia train with Momoko&#039;s team but also find themselves missing the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana prepare a welcome-home hotpot for the two. While shopping, they realize they know their friends&#039; preferences intimately. Tsuruno and Felicia return from the camp early, stating they thought the others would be lonely. The group reunites for dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura====&lt;br /&gt;
* After the battle with Alina Gray and the Rumor of the Anonymous AI, Homura and Madoka decide to leave for Kamihama to search for the missing Mami. Kyubey approaches Homura with a request: he wants her to take him to Kamihama, as Incubators cannot enter alone, and offers all his gathered information in exchange. Knowing what she does about him, Homura refuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Homura, Madoka, and Sayaka return to Kamihama to continue their search. They are almost immediately assaulted by the Witch Candy, which they defeat easily at first before it transforms into its true form and attacks again. When Homura attempts to stop time to save her friends, she finds the Witch is unaffected and her Soul Gem begins filling with impurities. As she succumbs, her Doppel awakens - manifesting after she uses a broken Incubator&#039;s body for knowledge and power - and unleashes its fury on the Witch. Exhausted but alive, Homura finds her Soul Gem purified. Together they finish the Witch, and Madoka suggests they visit the Coordinator Iroha told her about. Determined to become stronger, Homura agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Amane Sisters and Tsuruno====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno dreams of her elementary school self declaring she will restore her family&#039;s greatness and serve ramen at the White House. The dream shifts to her father relaying that her grandfather was happy but wants her to find her own happiness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Tsukuyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes to find a letter from her sister. She opens it excitedly but is shocked by its contents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, inside a Witch&#039;s barrier, the Amane twins confront Tsuruno seeking revenge. Distracted by her sister&#039;s letter, she is easily knocked out, and the twins grow horrified when she does not move.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno dreams of her sister&#039;s letter, which suggests their goal might be a mistake. A shadow version of Tsuruno appears, accusing her of stealing someone else&#039;s dream and lacking the ability to fulfill it. The shadow insists everything she did was meaningless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amanes bring Tsuruno to Mitama for help. Though Tsuruno is their enemy, the twins explain their goal is to save all magical girls. Mitama realizes they need to take Tsuruno outside, pointing to her tainted Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, the shadow urges Tsuruno to give up. Tsuruno refuses, thinking of her friends. She realizes that making them happy is her new goal, not the family business. She finally understands her grandfather meant that saving the business was only a possible result, not a goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes in an alley to find the Amanes, Mitama, and her embarrassing pig Doppel. The twins are relieved she is safe and declare they are even now. Mitama offers free adjustments to all three, and though the twins try to decline, Tsuruno drags them inside. Tsuruno reflects that she reached a different conclusion than her sister. She will keep working hard and make everyone happy. Tsukuyo begs to be let go if that is the case.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary====&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo explains that Mikazuki Villa&#039;s anniversary is the day her grandmother began renting the house out. She suggests having a small party now that the house is lively again. Tsuruno is excited to attend. Iroha calls Tsuruno the face of Mikazuki Villa, though Tsuruno feels she does not deserve the title since she does not live there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in the Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the anniversary day, the girls gather for tea. Yachiyo reveals a dance game contest with a prize: Sankyo Headquarters&#039; limited-quantity chilled matcha cake. Yachiyo chooses super-extreme mode. The contest begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A fire truck siren interrupts the party. It turns out to be a malfunctioning smoke detector. They return to find the matcha cake stolen. Tsuruno and Sana claim they saw Lil&#039; Kyubey eat it. Iroha defends them, saying it was with her the entire time. Yachiyo recalls an Uwasa called the &amp;quot;Anniversary Bug,&amp;quot; an invisible pest that sows discord at parties.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Uwasa appears in a labyrinth. Felicia accidentally kills it by stepping on it. The winner of the dance contest is Iroha. Yachiyo reveals there were actually six pieces of cake—enough for everyone plus one extra for the winner. Iroha gives her extra piece to Lil&#039; Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Iroha and Yachiyo clean up. Yachiyo shares her grandmother&#039;s words: people will always come and go, but they are all part of Mikazuki Villa. Iroha promises to work hard so Yachiyo can say the current Mikazuki Villa is the best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Summer with Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* After arriving at the hostel, the Mikazuki Villa members meet Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, who secretly followed because Rena wanted to join the trip. The group spends the day playing at the beach, where Tsuruno and Felicia dominate a game of beach flags, and Sana tearfully confides in Iroha that this is her first holiday ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer With Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the group participates in a spicy food eating contest at a seaside restaurant, where Yachiyo surprises everyone by consuming nearly one hundred forty-two bowls of pasta to secure victory for her team against Konoha, Nanaka, and the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, Sana&#039;s late-night sighting of a shadowy figure screaming &amp;quot;Come on go&amp;quot; sparks a beach-wide rumor that eventually draws in Kokoro, Masara, Aimi, Mito, and Reira, only for the mystery to be solved when Seika introduces her Manzai teacher Ayaka, whose gag playing on the phrase&#039;s rhythm reveals the source of the confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fourth day, the Mikazuki Villa girls and Momoko&#039;s trio attempt to teach Iroha how to swim without her float, but their efforts fail repeatedly. Iroha eventually explains that she used to be a swimmer until a traumatic incident: during a rare hospital holiday for her sister Ui, the family visited a pool, and Iroha mistook Ui happily paddling for drowning. In her rush to help, Iroha tripped and nearly drowned herself, leaving her with lasting anxiety about it. Suddenly, Rena begins drowning and cries for help via telepathy. The team rushes to save her, and surprisingly Iroha proves fastest, reaching Rena first and giving her the float while swimming them both to shore. On the way, Rena explains her leg was caught in seaweed, not cramped as she thought. Once Iroha realizes Rena is safe, her sisterly instincts fade and she begins drowning herself, having temporarily overcome her fear only through concern for another. Yachiyo reassures Iroha that the rescue proves she can still swim and encourages her to practice diligently. Iroha looks forward to regaining her ability fully, hoping that by then she and Ui can visit the pool together again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Swimrohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fifth day, Tsuruno leads the team on a surprise treasure hunt, guiding them through a forest with help from Konomi and Mayu to confront the &amp;quot;evil queen&amp;quot; Mitama, who surrenders a map piece that leads them to a cave with a beautiful stream, which was nature&#039;s treasure all along.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the sixth day, the team attends an unorthodox summer festival produced by Emiri, where they meet Rika, repeatedly mispronounce festival icon Ria&#039;s name, and watch Felicia win a mushroom whacking contest before everyone joins in Bon Odori dancing under fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning, the group visits the beach one last time and asks Manaka to take a group photo, with Iroha treasuring these memories with her friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia surprise Iroha with a birthday party, having learned the date from her parents. They give her heartfelt gifts - a cookbook, a photo album, a drawing inspired by the &amp;quot;come on go&amp;quot; search, and a handmade brooch - and Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive with a bouquet and food, moving Iroha to tears of joy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====One Fleeting Summer Night====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane arrive at Touka&#039;s private beach for vacation. After enjoying various activities, Touka offers them a reward if they can think of something fun for her to do. Learning from the housekeeper about a town festival featuring a unique ceremony, the group heads there but finds it canceled because a historic Coral Necklace went missing. The twins offer to help search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - One Fleeting Summer Night]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Investigating the hilltop shrine where the necklace was kept, Nemu concludes someone with a key took it, likely to cancel the festival since the other ceremonial item remains safe. At the ocean shrine cave, the twins sense an unsettling presence and receive a vision of crying twin girls before the shrine door mysteriously opens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the plaza, Tsukasa finds a fragment of a shrine maiden&#039;s hairpin. The elder accuses one of the maidens of stealing the necklace. When confronted, the maiden flees to the hilltop shrine and smashes the necklace rather than return it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the group returns to the cave to see light-reflecting moss. The twins experience another vision of twin girls speaking of not wanting to be left to die. They resolve to investigate further the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The twins visit the village elder and offer to serve as substitute shrine maidens. He reluctantly agrees, and an older villager gives them ornate hair ornaments traditionally given to newborn girls. Nemu reveals the town once sacrificed children to appease a sea god, and those children became the gods honored in the ceremony.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the twins try to explain their visions, the others are skeptical. Before they can prove anything, the elder rushes them to begin the ceremony early. At the hilltop shrine, villagers restrain them and remove their Soul Gem rings. The Magius fight through but cannot reach the twins in time as the elder pushes them off a cliff into the ocean.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sinking and weakening, the twins receive a final vision from the sacrificed twin girls, who speak of wanting their suffering to be seen and their fates changed. The Amanes awaken on the beach to learn a Witch appeared when they fell. After its defeat, all villagers lost consciousness. The Pearl Comb was shattered, making the ceremony impossible to complete.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The exhausted twins relax on the beach, having not slept. Tsukasa wonders if the gifted hair clip saved them. Though saddened that no one will remember the sacrificed girls, the twins resolve to change the fates of all Magical Girls. The elder and shrine maiden apologize, and Touka promises to take them to another of her family&#039;s vacation homes as a reward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Alina shows Karin the costumes she&#039;d made and then rips them, refusing to help someone who does not understand whose work the play is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magicalhalloweentheater&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin wonders why Alina got angry. She decides to find someone more talented for the wolf role. She bumps into Kyoko hunting a witch. Kyoko tells Karin not to push responsibilities onto others.

====Alina Is Comin’ to Town====&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Alina fuses with the Rumor of the Fur God despite Mifuyu&#039;s warnings, becoming Holy Alina to drain life force for her art. She targets a mother and child, but the situation backfires when she inadvertently stops a kidnapping, earning police gratitude instead of harvesting any energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Alina is Comin&#039; to Town]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Mifuyu encounters the Amane twins in their Miss Santa outfits. Tsukasa must help her father at a bamboo workshop on Namiki Street before their evening banquet, while Tsukuyo has the night free. After they leave, Alina arrives and Mifuyu informs her the rumors have spread. Alina decides to target Namiki Street, where hundreds will gather for Christmas lights, unaware this is where Tsukasa is working.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa&#039;s workshop runs long and she forgets her phone. Mifuyu finds it and heads to Namiki Street to deliver it. Tsukuyo waits for her sister and chats with a kind maid woman. Meanwhile, Alina detects a man with a bomb who plans to blow up a building. When she sees Mifuyu enter that same building, Alina rushes to save her. Finding the bomb with ten seconds left, Alina creates a labyrinth at the last moment, shielding them from the explosion.

The twins hurry to their banquet as snow begins to fall, fulfilling Tsukuyo&#039;s wish for a white Christmas.

** Mifuyu updates Alina on the twins&#039; miraculous reunion. Examining a black card, Alina notices a happy face stamp emanating magic. At Fenthope, she deduces another Rumor is interfering: the Rumor of the Happy Stamp, which appears at Christmastime and overrides the Fur God&#039;s power, causing joy instead. Alina decides to stop using the Fur God Rumor, as it only wastes her energy, and transforms back to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the twins sneak into a children&#039;s hospital to leave gifts. Tsukasa carefully avoids a bell trap, but Tsukuyo is caught by awakened children.

** The girls search for Felicia while Iroha asks Yachiyo to stay behind in case she returns. Sana eventually finds Felicia at a park and gently asks why she hates Christmas. Felicia explains her parents died during a Christmas party, and the holiday makes her remember them and the witch that killed them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;christmasatmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Mitama&#039;s Festive Feast====&lt;br /&gt;

Mitama wears a kimono borrowed from Yachiyo, and after a hint from Mitama, Kanagi praises her outfit, making Mitama smile at sharing her first New Year&#039;s shrine visit with a friend. They make wishes, draw &amp;quot;Great Luck&amp;quot; fortunes, and tour the stalls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Festive Feast]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a takoyaki stall, they meet Seika, Mito, and Reira, who invite them to join a &amp;quot;New Year&#039;s Soup Event&amp;quot; where participants solve riddles to earn soup ingredients. Mitama accepts the challenge, and though they never actually solve the intended riddles, they help a fishmonger, calm Himika&#039;s little brother with a lion dance, and retrieve Riko&#039;s lost dog. In gratitude, they receive red and white fish cakes, Feral Sauce, and fried chicken. They return to the stall, and the girls share their soup with them anyway. Mitama enjoys it so much she gets the recipe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Iroha and Tsuruno show off their kimonos, dressed with Yachiyo&#039;s help. Felicia bursts in with an invitation from Mitama to an afternoon party. Despite Felicia&#039;s protests about Mitama&#039;s cooking, Iroha convinces everyone to attend together, and they arrive at Mitama&#039;s with vast amounts of food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party begins with Mitama greeting guests. When asked about her own dishes, she proudly displays her bento boxes. Momoko bravely volunteers to try one, declares it good, wolfs it down, and promptly passes out. Mitama announces mochi-pounding, and Felicia eagerly swings the mallet, nearly crushing Sana&#039;s hands. Yachiyo discovers Mitama used &amp;quot;World&#039;s Stickiest&amp;quot; rice flour, and everyone finds creative ways to prepare the resulting mochi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama brings out soup she made earlier. To everyone&#039;s surprise, it tastes delicious. Mitama admits Iroha and Yachiyo helped but says she added a secret ingredient from her earlier adventures. Everyone praises it, and Mitama declares she will add her own customizations. Despite warnings, she returns with fried chicken and Feral Sauce, dropping them into the soup. The resulting soup burns everyone&#039;s eyes with spiciness, but they recover and enjoy the remaining good food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After guests leave, Kanagi arrives to help clean, but Mitama declines, explaining everyone already helped. They walk together as Kanagi heads to her maid café shift. Mitama shares that her party was a hit, and she now dreams of improving her cooking to make people happy. Kanagi cautions her to use ingredients fit for human consumption.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha returns alone, inviting Mitama to join them for photos at Mizuna shrine while they are all dressed in kimonos. Mitama, realizing how blessed she is with kind friends, accepts. At the shrine, a stranger takes their photo, and Yachiyo thanks Mitama for joining. They take another photo of just the four of them, then everyone decides to get candy apples together. Mitama smiles and agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====This Year&#039;s Aspirations for Brush Dyeing!====&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year&#039;s Day, the Mikazuki Villa residents share their first dreams over breakfast, with Felicia dreaming of a scolding cow, Sana dreaming of becoming a houseplant, and Yachiyo dreaming of eating too much mochi. Tsuruno arrives with homemade food but cannot remember her dream, so the group decides to visit the park based on Iroha&#039;s vague dream about something lucky happening there. When nothing special occurs and Yachiyo realizes she forgot her wallet, Iroha finds a 500 yen coin in her pocket, which is just enough to buy beans for the red-bean soup they wanted. They return home to make and enjoy the soup together, and Yachiyo reflects that while big luck is rare, small bits of luck can be found each day and should be appreciated throughout the year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;luckyny&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - New Year Lucky Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Iroha encounter Mitama while out with Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana, Tsuruno, Sayaka, and Homura. Mitama suggests they do something fitting for the holiday, and Yachiyo proposes kakizome, the first calligraphy of the year. Felicia protests that it sounds boring, but Yachiyo tempts her with the promise of sukiyaki for dinner if she writes properly, quickly changing her mind. The group agrees, and Yachiyo announces the theme: this year&#039;s resolution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - This Year&#039;s Aspirations for Brush Dyeing!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka finishes first, having written &amp;quot;Get to know everyone better,&amp;quot; explaining that she wants to be someone who can truly understand and support the people she meets. Iroha is inspired by her words and writes &amp;quot;Don&#039;t be afraid to ask for help,&amp;quot; realizing she doesn&#039;t have to shoulder everything alone. Yachiyo presents her resolution, &amp;quot;Wishing for good health and safety at home,&amp;quot; admitting it may be cliché but sincerely believing in the fortune of staying healthy and avoiding disaster. Mitama first jokes with &amp;quot;Prosperous business&amp;quot; before revealing her true wish, &amp;quot;Everyone getting along well,&amp;quot; which Yachiyo acknowledges is not an easy hope to fulfill.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia struggles with her first attempt, writing &amp;quot;I want to eat meat,&amp;quot; but knows Yachiyo will be angry. She notices Homura also staring at a blank sheet, unable to decide if writing her true feelings is appropriate. Felicia encourages her to be honest, and Homura writes &amp;quot;Become a stronger me.&amp;quot; Grateful for the help, Felicia reworks her resolution into something positive, settling on &amp;quot;Earn Yachiyo&#039;s praise.&amp;quot; Tsuruno proudly reveals her goal, &amp;quot;Escape from 50 points,&amp;quot; explaining she wants to steadily improve rather than chase unreachable heights. Sana shows her resolution, &amp;quot;Show more initiative,&amp;quot; expressing her desire to protect everyone at Mikazuki Villa and stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka panics upon realizing everyone else has finished, struggling to find a resolution that isn&#039;t solely about being a magical girl. Her thoughts drift to Kyosuke against her will, and Mitama teases her about writing something love-related. Flustered, Sayaka denies having feelings for anyone, though internally she admits she wants to do her best in love too. Unable to confess that truth, she hastily writes &amp;quot;Do my best,&amp;quot; declaring she will work hard in all sorts of ways this year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With everyone finished, they tidy up and Felicia eagerly anticipates the sukiyaki. Mitama laments that she, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno won&#039;t be able to submit theirs since it&#039;s not homework for them, calling it a waste. Yachiyo suggests displaying them at home for the New Year, and Tsuruno proposes putting up everyone&#039;s resolutions. When Yachiyo worries about the inconvenience for Madoka&#039;s group to retrieve them later, they assure her they plan to visit Kamihama again anyway. They hang all the calligraphy together, each resolution on display, and everyone wishes each other a good year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Emiri searches all day, falls asleep in the mountains, and wakes to find a truffle pointed out by a mysterious old man. Kyoko brings Sayaka and Homura to Sugar Plum, and Sumomo refuses Kyubey&#039;s contract after Kyoko shares her own tragic story. Riko investigates Mokeo with Tsukasa&#039;s help. Felicia secretly makes chocolate with Iroha and eventually reveals she made it for her found family at Mikazuki Villa because Valentine&#039;s Day is for conveying feelings to important people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week before Valentine&#039;s Day, Manaka creates fourteen prototypes but feels burned out. After criticism from Ria and Mayu, she decides to make a chocolate ring that looks like real jewelry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Manaka completes the chocolate ring, but the student council member rejects it, explaining that candy can never be actual jewelry and that she chose chocolate because the truth is always by its side. Manaka collapses from exhaustion and wakes in the hospital with her spirit broken. Mayu suggests that the frame is just as important as the picture, inspiring Manaka to turn down the commission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mami welcomes her friends for a chocolate-making party, realizing she doesn&#039;t need a perfect day, just a good time with precious people.

====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano====&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before a science event, a White Feather from the Wings of Magius informs Mitama Yakumo that a higher-up will be visiting and she should complete any necessary business when they arrive. Mitama says she will be prepared.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Hinano explains her mishap to her audience, and her assistant Emiri Kisaki steals the punchline by emphasizing the importance of perfect preparation. Afterward, Emiri learns Hinano was attempting to create a height-increasing drug—the same goal that led to a near-fatal accident five years ago and her contract with Kyubey. Emiri makes Hinano promise to stop dangerous experiments, but Hinano immediately breaks this promise and sneaks back to continue her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Emiri rushes an unconscious Hinano to Mitama&#039;s place. Hinano had drunk her experimental drug and collapsed from violent stomach pains. After purification, Hinano explains her dream: as a child, she admired a long-legged older girl who hosted science events, and she wanted to become that kind of dashing figure. Emiri reveals her own wish was a spur-of-the-moment desire to be the cutest little devil possible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano&#039;s unresolved feelings cause her Soul Gem to corrupt, and she is suddenly pulled into a barrier. A shadowy version of herself appears, claiming to be the pure crystallization of her aspirations. It transforms into her Doppel—a poison monster wearing an attractive lab coat with long legs. Hinano hears Emiri&#039;s telepathic voice shouting that she does not want to part with her, giving her strength. She realizes that while she failed to become a mature figure, her approachable appearance helped her meet Emiri and make friends. The shadow asks if she will give up her research, and Hinano declares she will continue with a completely safe version. The barrier vanishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Hinano and Emiri leave, Alina Gray appears and confirms she created the barrier to contain Hinano&#039;s Doppel and protect Mitama. Mitama offers adjustment as thanks, asking Alina to continue favoring her business.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!====&lt;br /&gt;
* As Yachiyo makes lunch, Felicia barges in with a flyer announcing that Mitama is trying her hand at professional photography and offering free photos for one day only. The others are surprised, having heard nothing about this, but they agree to go and take a team photo since they have nothing else planned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s makeshift studio, she admits they are her only customers and shows off a new camera she bought because the advertisement claimed it would make anyone a pro photographer. When she starts taking photos, however, every attempt fails spectacularly, producing bizarre images like Madoka with people jumping from a plane and Homura posing with a lion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Frustrated, Mitama declares she will quit being an adjuster to devote herself to photography, but the girls protest that everyone in Kamihama would be in trouble without her. They reassure her that they trust her, and Tsuruno adds that she would not have become the strongest without Mitama&#039;s help. Mitama relents and agrees to remain an adjuster, though she will continue practicing photography in her free time. Later, a successful group photo of both Iroha and Madoka&#039;s teams is shown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Mitama Yakumo invites a surprising number of magical girls to her place for an event she calls the &amp;quot;Great Mitama Thanksgiving.&amp;quot; When she finally arrives, she reveals that the gathering is actually a quiz tournament about herself, with the winner receiving a free adjustment session and the title of &amp;quot;Mitama&#039;s Perfect Lover.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz begins with multiple choice questions, and wrong answers trigger a trap door beneath the contestant, though cushions soften the fall. The first question asks Mitama&#039;s actual age, and Tsuruno guesses incorrectly, landing her in the trap. The second question asks whether Mitama&#039;s cooking is delicious, and when Felicia and Manaka both guess wrong, Mitama confirms that the correct answer is that her food is indeed delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz continues through several rounds, eliminating more contestants along the way. When the ninth question asks about Mitama&#039;s favorite movie, Ria guesses incorrectly and is eliminated for insulting the film&#039;s actress. Sana is also eliminated when Mitama takes pity on her after she panics over Iroha&#039;s safety, and Mitama confirms that &amp;quot;Pacifistic Hayashi&amp;quot; was the correct answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama admits she has run out of questions but still has many competitors remaining, so she decides to draw lots to pick a winner instead. Momoko asks why Mitama held the event in the first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama remembers a time where she tried using her magic to defeat a familiar on her own, and that even if her services are no longer needed, she can still protect herself. She has obtained the magic to keep living that she never had before, and if she ever had to abandon her neutrality, she could use it to help someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Mitama explains that she held the event because something good happened to her. The other girls sense a Witch and leave to hunt it, and Mitama tells them to draw their lots later. Alone, she wonders who she should use her power on when she eventually decides to stop being neutral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====I&#039;m the Star of this Show!====&lt;br /&gt;
* One night, Ria Ami receives a call from her manager about a fashion show that wants her as the prestigious last guest. The theme is &amp;quot;dressing in stylish uniforms.&amp;quot; Ria eagerly accepts, imagining Mayu Kozue praising her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - I&#039;m the Star of this Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Ria dreams. On the day of the fashion show, she runs into a Witch. Kyoko Sakura appears in the barrier. Mistaking Kyoko for a fan, Ria tries to show off, but Kyoko tells her to stay out of the way. They fight. Ria leaves the barrier and finds she has missed the show completely. Horrified, she wakes up. It was only a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, she and Asuka Tatsuki arrive to cheer. Asuka reveals she has been practicing for this day. During the event, Asuka cheers for Ria like it is a sports event. Ria knows she means no harm but feels embarrassed, as if Asuka is ruining the event. She wakes up again. Another dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, just as she is about to go on stage, the power cuts out. Though it quickly returns, the audience&#039;s enthusiasm has diminished. Ria blames herself for being unable to overcome the outage. She wakes up, realizing she has been dreaming about the show every single night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual day of the show, Ria pinches her cheek to make sure it is real. She stumbles into a Witch barrier, and Kyoko appears just as in her dreams. This time, Ria tells Kyoko she can take the credit for killing the Witch. Ria leaves and meets Asuka and Mayu. When she learns Asuka has practiced cheering, Ria explains that fashion shows have their own etiquette and promises to send her details later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just before Ria&#039;s turn on stage, the power cuts out for real. Ria decides to make it part of the show. She asks the audience to get out their penlights and turn them all on her when she gives the signal. Her improvisation is a complete success, though she wishes she could have shown her perfect walk. She thinks she is feeling the best feeling in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls are surprised to learn that Felicia scored fifty-two points on a test, and she asks for a reward. Yachiyo deems her request to go to MooMoo Park too expensive and instead promises a fancy dinner the next day, which satisfies Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha discovers that Tsuruno left her phone in the refrigerator and offers to return it while Yachiyo goes to a photo shoot. During breakfast, a commercial for MooMoo Park airs on television.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After breakfast, Felicia shows Sana the park commercial on her phone and admits she still wants to go, so she drags Sana along to catch animals at a riverbank. Meanwhile, Iroha returns Tsuruno&#039;s phone and helps out at her family&#039;s restaurant. At the riverbank, Felicia finds a small turtle, but Ayame Mikuri appears and accuses her of harassment. The two magical girls fight, and Felicia releases the turtle to protect it before running off, leaving Sana behind. Yachiyo finds Sana on her way home and learns what happened, then invites her to lunch. Felicia returns to the house, still angry at Ayame, and takes a nap after lunch. She dreams that the turtle thanks her and promises something at the riverbank, so she wakes and goes out to find it. She returns with a ticket for two to MooMoo Park. The others reveal that Iroha also received a ticket from Tsuruno&#039;s father, and Yachiyo got one at a meat store, so everyone can now go together. The girls happily resolve to visit the park and enjoy their dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of====&lt;br /&gt;
* An old lady asks Kanagi Izumi for a deli recommendation, and Kanagi suggests the potato soup and meat skewers, knowing the customer&#039;s daughter loves them. When the lady asks if this is truly Kanagi&#039;s last day, Kanagi confirms it and expresses regret at not seeing her again. At the end of her shift, Kanagi thanks her boss and coworkers, who are sad to see her go, but she needs higher pay to support her family and the grocery store cannot match her new job&#039;s wages.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives home later than usual due to a going-away party, and her father apologizes for not working enough to provide, though Kanagi is happy to help. He worries about her new job being radically different from her previous work, but Kanagi believes it is worth it since the pay means she can quit her second job and have more free time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi starts her new job at a maid café and impresses her coworker by already having a parfait ready. Despite learning the kitchen pace quickly, the hall is understaffed, and when the manager offers to help, Kanagi replies &amp;quot;Yes, sir!&amp;quot; only to be corrected that the manager prefers to be called &amp;quot;madam.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the rush, the head maid wishes for another maid, and the manager asks Kanagi to try working the floor for a raise. Kanagi&#039;s eyes widen at the salary and she accepts, receiving the maid nickname &amp;quot;Maid Nagitan.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid reviews basics with Kanagi, who feels confident due to her customer service background and sees this as a life-or-death matter to earn more for her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika Kumi, Reira Ibuki, and Mito Aino enter, and Kanagi greets them with a serious look and curt &amp;quot;welcome,&amp;quot; leaving them surprised by her cold, soldier-like demeanor. When Mito asks if she is really a maid, Kanagi introduces herself as Maid Nagitan and shakes Mito&#039;s hand firmly, causing Seika to freeze up. Later, when Reira asks if she will do &amp;quot;the thing&amp;quot; of adding love to the food, Kanagi misinterprets and says she cannot profess love to strangers, leaving the girls let down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At another table, a customer also wants &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; but Kanagi declines, saying she is no liar. The head maid intervenes and reminds Kanagi this is a maid café, explaining their job is creating a fun atmosphere. Kanagi returns to the trio&#039;s table and notices Seika staring, misinterpreting it as a staring contest. They stare at each other until Seika faints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid calls Kanagi completely hopeless and explains a maid&#039;s worth comes from tending to others, telling her to return to the kitchen if she cannot take the work seriously. The manager offers a one-week trial period: if Kanagi improves by week&#039;s end, she stays a maid. Kanagi vows to work with every fiber of her being.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Karin Misono finishes reading &amp;quot;Detective Maid Mei&amp;quot; and notices Kanagi slumped on a swing, muttering about what makes a good maid. Karin recognizes her as the boss of the East and, seeing an opportunity for her manga, asks Kanagi to tell her everything. Karin lends her the Detective Maid Mei manga for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Kanagi reads the manga and notes how the maid greets masters warmly, respects their decisions, and lets the master grow when needed. At the end, the maid strikes a pose. Kanagi meets Karin at the park to return the manga and heads to work with Karin tagging along for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the café, two boys enter and Kanagi greets them warmly as masters, surprising them with her &amp;quot;cool but kind&amp;quot; demeanor. The head maid smiles at her improvement. Kanagi serves Karin a Lovely Rice Omelet, and when Karin suggests she draw on it with ketchup, Kanagi tries to draw a kirin but it looks like a weird animal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Two more customers arrive, Aimi Eri and Natsuki Utsuho. Kanagi serves them and offers to draw on their omelets, writing Aimi&#039;s crush&#039;s name with hearts on her plate. As she leaves, Karin motions for her, and Kanagi does the manga pose, telling them to let her take care of any problems. At day&#039;s end, the head maid notes Kanagi&#039;s huge improvement but says it is too early to celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The final test begins, and the manager outlines that Kanagi must please the next returning customer, ensuring the master leaves with a smile. The door jingles as Konomi Haruna enters, distressed to find herself in a maid café. Kanagi greets her warmly and shows her to a seat despite the manager&#039;s concern.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi orders the Maid&#039;s Special Herbal Blend after Kanagi&#039;s recommendation, but when Kanagi offers to play a game then arm wrestle, Konomi panics, drinks quickly, pays, and leaves. The manager agrees that Kanagi should return to the kitchen as promised. Kanagi walks home alone, bothered by something beyond the wage cut.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi is back in the kitchen, and the kitchen staff is delighted. At day&#039;s end, the head maid tells her the staff appreciated her return, and Kanagi wonders why no one said they were glad when she worked as a maid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager notices her expression and encourages her to think until she is satisfied with the answer. Kanagi decides to find Konomi and ask what she lacked, recalling her school uniform.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi enters Konomi&#039;s flower shop, and Konomi is shocked. Kanagi asks what she lacked as a maid, but Konomi apologizes for assuming Kanagi was scary due to East-West history. She explains she entered by mistake, but Kanagi was considerate, made a helpful suggestion, and offered to ease her anxiety. It felt like Kanagi was doing it just for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi realizes that is what she was lacking: taking into account what the other person wants and responding to it. At the park, Kanagi reflects that customers come to enjoy the atmosphere and it is her job to consider whether it is worthwhile for them. She berates herself for making masters uncomfortable. Karin finds her and insists she should keep being a maid, offering to talk to the manager. Kanagi smiles and asks for a different favor instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi approaches the manager for a second chance, proposing she serve the same three customers who left when Seika fainted. The manager agrees to let her try. Karin finds Reira and Seika at a park and extends an invitation for them to return so Nagitan can make it up to them. Reira agrees, and Karin hands them invitations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio enters the café with Seika frozen, and Kanagi greets them warmly and shows them to their table. Kanagi serves their omelets, and when Mito asks if they were made with love, Kanagi admits she could not be dishonest but offers to draw with ketchup instead. She gives Mito the bottle to draw while Kanagi draws on Mito&#039;s plate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They play rock-paper-scissors, and Reira explains Seika is very shy and fainted because she had to make eye contact with someone new. Seika&#039;s class is doing a maid café for the school festival and she wanted to do her best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika admits she thought Kanagi was so confident she lost her own confidence. Kanagi points to the head maid as the ideal and explains she herself could never be like that, so she tries her best in her own way, encouraging Seika to find her own style. Seika smiles and asks for a picture. Kanagi agrees if her face is hidden, and before they leave, she does her signature pose and tells Seika to remember it when nervous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager calls Kanagi over and offers her the maid position, noting she learned something important. Kanagi says she wants to keep being a maid, not just for the paycheck, but to use what she learned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day at the café, Kanagi serves drinks and poses for pictures with a face mask, her fans cheering. Karin calls for her to do &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; and the café erupts yelling &amp;quot;Nagitan!&amp;quot; Karin and Kanagi walk home, and when Kanagi asks about her manga, Karin realizes she never drew it. Kanagi offers to help, but when Karin asks if she will do the pose, Kanagi reminds her she is off the clock. Karin looks down sadly as Kanagi returns to being serious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia====&lt;br /&gt;
* During the day, Felicia eats Tsuruno&#039;s ice candy without realizing it was hers because she cannot read kanji. Tsuruno reprimands Yachiyo when she learns Yachiyo knew and was preparing to buy a replacement. Yachiyo states it is impossible to guard the fridge constantly. Felicia, overwhelmed with guilt and anger that no one listens to her confession, loses control and flips the kitchen table before locking herself in her room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Felicia has a nightmare. She dreams her falling grades caused a huge argument between her parents, who blamed each other for neglecting her. Both ignore her confession and promise to try harder. Her mother storms back to the kitchen to cook. Felicia recalls that a Witch attacked immediately after, killing her parents, and she wakes up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She goes to the kitchen for water, but Iroha is there and points out she looks pale. Iroha tells her to rest and offers to bring water to her room. Felicia loses her temper and storms out of the house. Iroha wakes the others to find her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Felicia hears a voice claiming to be her. The voice pulls her into a barrier, where another Felicia lures her toward a locked box, revealing itself as her Doppel. Felicia nearly opens the box but remembers Yachiyo&#039;s words about some things being best left unknown. Her instincts tell her she is not ready.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She promises her Doppel she will return when she is stronger and hopes it can hold the truth for her. The Doppel accepts and returns to normal. Felicia wakes up at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo inform her they found her unconscious in the park. Felicia tells them about the encounter and her desire to become strong enough to fulfill her promise. Mitama offers a free power-up session to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha recalls they found Felicia releasing her Doppel in the park before losing consciousness. Yachiyo notes this has never happened before. She remembers that Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane once said Doppels are materialized emotions. Yachiyo concludes Felicia carries a heavy burden and tells Iroha to keep this secret until Felicia either realizes it herself or becomes strong enough to handle the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Monogatari Series Collab====&lt;br /&gt;

** Shinobu Oshino, originally a legendary vampire in her world, she became the &amp;quot;Immortal Magical Girl&amp;quot; by wishing &amp;quot;I wish to die.&amp;quot; However, as a result, the prey she hunts become nourishment for her and her life span extends instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shinobubio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino#Game Info|Shinobu&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi Hachikuji became a &amp;quot;labyrinth Magical Girl&amp;quot; with the wish “I wish to return home.” With her excellent defense, she could cause the enemy’s attack to avoid her, as if it had lost its way, but for some reason, she could never reach her mother’s house.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayoibio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji#Game Info|Mayoi&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Her wish was “Please give me memories.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hitagibio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hitagi Senjougahara#Game Info|Hitagi&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suruga Kanbaru became a &amp;quot;pioneer Magical Girl,&amp;quot; where she was fused with her motorbike after her transformation. Although she was the star who led Naoetsu High School&#039;s basketball club to the national tournament, she frequently made dangerous actions and comments. Her wish was &amp;quot;I want to be faster than anyone.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Surugabio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Suruga Kanbaru#Game Info|Suruga&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Shinobu Oshino, Mayoi Hachikuji and Yotsugi Ononoki hunt a Witch together. Shinobu begins her dramatic introduction and finishing move, but Yotsugi defeats the Witch with a simple &amp;quot;Hyah&amp;quot; and Mayoi lands the final blow with &amp;quot;Yah.&amp;quot; Shinobu is annoyed at their failure to call out special moves. Shinobu argues that calling out attacks is the essence of being a Magical Girl, but Yotsugi dismisses this as an outdated trope. Shinobu retorts that refusing to act the part is dumb, and Yotsugi reluctantly agrees. Shinobu declares they need training to act more befitting of Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Shinobu&#039;s Heartphial Story: Shinobu Spells]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shinobu demonstrates by striking a pose and delivering her lines with perfect timing. When Yotsugi tries, her performance is terrible. Shinobu forces her to try again, and Yotsugi reluctantly says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; but finds it unpleasant and refuses to repeat it. Mayoi asks Shinobu to help her come up with lines. After a few stumbles, she declares, &amp;quot;I, Mayoi Hachikuji, hereby condemn those Witches who seek to ravage this earth!&amp;quot; Shinobu finds it charming, and Mayoi admits leaning into the Magical Girl thing is fun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They enter a real Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Mayoi messes up her line again but turns it into an improvised bit while evading attacks. Yotsugi delivers a longer speech and says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; landing the attack. Shinobu finishes the Witch with her full finishing move. After the battle, morning comes. Shinobu declares the training will continue, but Yotsugi walks away. Mayoi distracts Shinobu by suggesting breakfast, and Shinobu wants donuts. Yachiyo, out for an early walk, overhears them and decides she wants donuts too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa and helps Yachiyo prepare breakfast. Sana joins them, but when she goes to wake Felicia, she finds Felicia’s room empty and her shoes gone; Felicia’s phone is also out of service. Worried, Yachiyo calls Tsuruno for help, and the group splits up to search the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part I: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the search, Iroha’s Soul Gem reacts to a nearby Witch. Inside the labyrinth, they encounter two unfamiliar magical girls who are already fighting the Witch: Mayoi Hachikuji and Shinobu Oshino. After the Witch is defeated, introductions are exchanged. Mayoi and Shinobu explain they are traveling and looking for a lost friend named Yotsugi Ononoki, who has bluish‑green pigtails, a peculiar hat with eyes, and a frilly dress. The two groups exchange phone numbers to help each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Felicia has in fact met Yotsugi. Yotsugi buys her ice cream, and Felicia learns Yotsugi is also traveling. Felicia offers to show Yotsugi around town as thanks, taking her to the shopping street, a spot with cats, and a bench good for naps. Yotsugi finds everything unfamiliar and feels something is off, as if she has buttoned her shirt wrong. She shortens Felicia’s name to “Felly,” which makes Felicia happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha’s group eventually spots Felicia with Yotsugi. When Yachiyo hugs Felicia in relief, Felicia reacts as if she does not know any of them. She remembers Yachiyo only as a famous magical girl, but has no memory of living at Mikazuki Villa. The group realizes Felicia has lost her memories. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive and reunite with Yotsugi. Felicia refuses to go with Iroha’s group, accusing them of being kidnappers. Yotsugi offers a third option: Felicia can join their traveling team. Mayoi warns Felicia that if she chooses to leave with them, she will never return to the home that might be waiting for her. Felicia becomes confused and cries. Iroha proposes they all have dinner together at Mikazuki Villa first, so Felicia can calm down and decide later and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, Felicia asks Yotsugi what she likes to eat. Yotsugi admits a preference for expensive cup ice cream. Felicia awkwardly asks if Yotsugi&#039;s face is always stuck like that, and Yotsugi confirms it is. After arriving, Felicia eagerly tries to get Yotsugi to play video games, serves her extra portions of food, and challenges her to a pillow fight. Yotsugi excuses herself to take a bath, leaving Felicia disappointed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yotsugi Ononoki#Side Story|Yotsugi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Yotsugi Sister]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Felicia apologizes for being clingy, explaining that Yachiyo and the others pulled her aside to warn her. Felicia confesses she had been trying to make Yotsugi smile, assuming she had lost her parents like Felicia did. Yotsugi clarifies that her emotions simply do not show on her face, but she does feel them. She admits playing the game was fun and the food was not bad. Felicia is overjoyed and runs off to brag to everyone. Shinobu and Mayoi, who had been eavesdropping, tease Yotsugi for finding Felicia cute. Yotsugi concedes that Felicia is exhausting, but seeing her face light up from a drop of attention is not unpleasant. She gains newfound respect for all older sisters in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the villa, Shinobu requests doughnuts for dessert, and the group plays games. Yotsugi helps in the kitchen and notices the chicken meat has a nice springy firmness. During dinner, the group shares memories of how they met Felicia. Felicia still does not remember, but Shinobu points out the stories are too detailed to be lies. Tsuruno suddenly does not remember buying coasters, revealing she may also have amnesia. Yotsugi then shifts the discussion: she reminds Shinobu that she walked in sunlight all day without harm, which should be impossible because Shinobu is actually a vampire. Shinobu’s memories return, and she declares herself the iron‑blooded, hot‑blooded, cold‑blooded vampire king of oddities. Mayoi also gets a headache and remembers she is not human either, and instead she is a snail oddity, a ghost. Yotsugi explains that she has felt uneasy calling herself a magical girl; she suspects this world is not the one she came from, as everything feels slightly different, like two paintings of the same image in different styles. She believes Shinobu, Mayoi, and herself came from another world. They conclude that a Witch may be behind the memory loss and false memories, and decide to hunt Witches the next day. Everyone stays the night at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mayoi plays Old Maid with Tsuruno, Felicia, Yotsugi, and Shinobu. Mayoi wins, but Yotsugi and Shinobu notice she seemed absent-minded. Mayoi asks Yachiyo if she can help with dinner, admitting she always wished she could cook with her mom. Yachiyo agrees and Mayoi joins Iroha and Sana in making dumplings, proving to be a natural. Yotsugi and Shinobu try but fail miserably. Mayoi boasts and declares herself the rightful leader of the little girls, sparking a three-way argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Mayoi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Mayoi Home]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno suggests playing a game to decide the leader, and Felicia wants to join. Shinobu insists Iroha must also participate. They play a life simulation board game. Mayoi starts strong but ends up broke and stranded in the Amazon. Iroha wins, and Mayoi declares her the official leader of the little girls, much to Iroha&#039;s confusion. Mayoi feels this has been the most fun she has had in a while, yet she cannot shake an uneasy feeling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After everyone decides to stay over, Yachiyo announces bath time. Mayoi suddenly bolts out of the house, claiming she will take a walk. Iroha chases after her and finds her safe. Mayoi apologizes and explains that the family moment overwhelmed her heart, so she left to do something familiar to settle herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi revisits her wish: after her parents&#039; divorce, she wished to go home. Being at Mikazuki Villa makes her feel like her wish has finally come true, yet she senses it is not the home she truly wants to return to. She remembers she is a ghost and wonders where exactly it is she wants to go back to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After they lay out futons in the living room, Shinobu reveals she is actually over 500 years old, and Mayoi was in fifth grade when she died, now mentally 21. Yotsugi still does not remember what she is. Felicia cannot sleep and goes outside. She sees a Witch appear suddenly, feels her head go foggy, and collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha again helps with breakfast. She feels a strange déjà vu, as if the same conversation has happened before. Sana again reports Felicia is missing. The group searches the town and again encounters Mayoi and Shinobu fighting a Witch. The same exchanges occur, but Iroha’s déjà vu grows stronger.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When they finally find Felicia, she is with Yotsugi and is annoyed that they took so long to show up. Yotsugi addresses Iroha by name without being introduced. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive. Iroha blurts out that everything feels like it has happened before. Yotsugi then explains: this is the second time they have met like this. Everyone suddenly remembers the previous day’s events of the dinner, the revelations about vampires and ghosts, and the time reset. Yotsugi says she felt the air warp after falling asleep, and when she woke up, she was back where she had been before meeting Felicia. Felicia recalls that before the reset, she saw a Witch outside Mikazuki Villa that made her dizzy and erased her memories. The group deduces that Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they discuss how to fight the Witch, Felicia’s stomach growls. They decide to return to the villa for dinner again, saving the battle for the next day. On the way, they stop at a supermarket for a snack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While walking home, a Witch suddenly appears and pulls Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi into a labyrinth. Felicia recognizes it as the same Witch from the reset. The Witch ignores both Iroha and Felicia, focusing all its attacks on Yotsugi. It dodges Felicia’s hammer and lands a clean hit, cutting Yotsugi’s body into pieces. Iroha and Felicia are horrified. As the Witch prepares to strike again, Yotsugi’s voice tells them to keep pretending to be sad. She instructs them to retreat and gather the pieces of her body. They do so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside the labyrinth, Yotsugi puts herself back together as if nothing happened. She reveals that when she took the hit, she regained her true memories. Back at Mikazuki Villa, she explains to everyone: she is a hundred‑year‑old tsukumogami made from a human body, both a doll oddity and a corpse oddity. She has no heart and has always been dead. This is why the Witch’s power of suggestion, which works by influencing emotions, does not affect her as much. She also notes that the Witch let them escape because it was angry at Yotsugi for helping everyone remember the first loop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yotsugi attacks Shinobu. Shinobu blocks the strike. When asked why, Yotsugi coldly says, “Would you mind dying for me real quick?”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt; Yotsugi’s sudden attack on Shinobu was not betrayal but a calculated shock: she remembered that when the Witch cut her into pieces, the trauma restored her own original memories. She reasons that a sufficiently strong physical blow can break through the memory manipulation. Shinobu’s severed leg instantly regenerates as her vampiric powers return, proving the method works. Without warning, Yotsugi then punches Mayoi, knocking her unconscious. When Mayoi wakes, her memories also return, which is triggered by the keyword “lost.” Mayoi explains that their false magical girl powers and wishes were implanted by the Witch, and that they are not inhabitants of this world. She then proposes a new theory: the Kamihama girls did not lose their memories; rather, they come from different points in their own timeline and simply haven’t experienced the shared past yet. Felicia is devastated, fearing she will never have a family again, but Iroha and the others reassure her that in every timeline they will end up together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part II: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, after everyone has gone to sleep, Shinobu summons Yotsugi and Mayoi outside. She admits she does not fully trust Iroha’s group, as they could be the Witch’s minions or mere plot devices. She reveals there may be another way to return to their original world, but she does not elaborate immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group splits up to hunt the elusive Witch. They repeatedly enter labyrinths of other Witches, wasting time. Felicia grows increasingly frustrated, nearly charging into unrelated fights. Yachiyo observes that the Witch seems to want them to fight, so any peaceful, fun activity risks a reset, which is why the first reset happened after their happy dinner and games. She concludes that the Witch is like a director forcing them to act out a “magical girls fighting” plot. Iroha suggests they deliberately provoke the Witch by acting against that plot, hoping to lure it out. However, Yotsugi warns that straying too far might trigger another reset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo formally presents her three‑point theory: (1) The Witch did not pursue them when they fled, (2) it never removed their magical girl powers, and (3) the resets happen when they relax instead of fight. Everyone agrees the plan is to provoke the Witch into appearing. Shinobu then insists on going sightseeing the next day, arguing that one more reset will weaken the Witch’s power further. Despite concerns about resetting again, Tsuruno enthusiastically supports the idea, and the group reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group spends the morning and afternoon touring Kamihama: the radio tower, the school (which they sneak into), an arcade where Yotsugi plays rhythm games with a completely blank expression, and the shopping mall where Shinobu demands to find a donut shop. Tsuruno saves the family restaurant, Banbanzai, for last. As they approach, Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi sense the Witch charging straight at them. The familiar dizziness overcomes everyone, and the world resets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Several hours after the reset, Yotsugi again restores everyone’s memories, as her immunity to the Witch’s suggestion means she still remembers everything. The group notes that more people felt déjà vu this time, suggesting the Witch is weakening. That night, Shinobu privately tells Yotsugi and Mayoi her true alternative plan: she will kill the Kamihama magical girls and consume their power, believing that enough strength will allow her to tear open a gate back to their world. Yotsugi and Mayoi agree to help, though Mayoi is conflicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the town feels eerily deserted. The Witch’s labyrinth is sparse, with only familiars. Following Shinobu’s earlier secret instruction, the group begins shouting insults at the Witch to provoke it. Suddenly, Shinobu strikes Felicia from behind, seemingly killing her. Yachiyo and Tsuruno are horrified. Shinobu, Yotsugi, and Mayoi reveal their betrayal: they intend to slaughter everyone to gain power for a gate home. A brutal fight erupts. Mayoi uses her ability to redirect Yachiyo’s spear attack, causing it to hit Iroha and Sana, who also fall. Tsuruno is overwhelmed, and Yachiyo is mortally wounded. Shinobu stands alone, gloating, but then the “dead” girls suddenly rise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** It was all an act. The group had secretly planned this staged betrayal during the previous night, communicating via handwritten notes to avoid the Witch overhearing. Sana, who makes picture books, wrote the script. The plan had multiple layers: first, they deliberately triggered a second reset by going sightseeing to weaken the Witch; second, they staged a believable in‑fighting scenario to lure the Witch out, because if all the “actors” disappear, the Witch’s story cannot continue. The Witch falls for the trap and appears, enraged by the deception. A full‑scale battle begins. The group coordinates: Iroha and Sana herd familiars for Yotsugi’s “Unlimited Rulebook”; Yachiyo, Shinobu, and Iroha immobilize the Witch; Tsuruno guides Mayoi’s errant drill attack with her flames, piercing the Witch’s front camera. When that does not destroy the labyrinth, Yachiyo and Shinobu realize the front camera was a decoy: the true weak spot is the film at the back. Felicia, launched by Yotsugi like a bullet, smashes the drill deeper, and Yachiyo and Shinobu destroy the film. The labyrinth dissolves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the world fades to mist, Felicia breaks down crying. She does not want this world to end because at Mikazuki Villa she finally felt like she had a family again, and she fears returning to her own timeline where she will be alone. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Sana hug her, promising that no matter the world or timeline, they will surely live together again. Shinobu, Mayoi, and Yotsugi share an awkward, brief hug, concluding they are not the hugging type. Everyone exchanges farewells. Yotsugi tells Felicia, “I’m glad I met you, Felly.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa, yawning. Felicia teases her for sleeping late. Iroha recalls a long, strange dream, both fun and bittersweet, but the details fade upon waking. She only remembers that it was something really special. The day begins again, as if the adventure had never happened, except for the faint warmth left behind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede dreams of a garden where Momoko and Rena help her harvest fantastical vegetables. When she asks about the cream puff tree, Momoko shows her a basket full. The peace breaks when an apartment complex finishes construction behind them, destroying the garden. Kaede remembers this moment: her father announced a new building would block their sunlight, her mother worried they would lose their garden, and in despair, Kaede wished to stop the construction entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The dream shatters and a shadowy version of Kaede appears, accusing her of always running from difficulty. It reminds her she made her wish without considering the people who would have lived in that building, that she ran from Rena rather than face rejection, that she holds back in marathons and skips hard problems. The shadow urges her to keep running until she finds where she belongs and offers its hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kaede admits everything is true: she is weak and useless. But she insists she wants to stay with Momoko and Rena, the friends who matter to her. She asks her shadow to help her become better little by little. The shadow agrees, promising to watch from the garden of her heart. Kaede wakes at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains Kaede blacked out during a Witch battle. Kaede remembers hesitating to transform, a Familiar catching her off guard, and Rena crying out. When another Familiar attacked Rena, Kaede recalled a time Momoko was hurt because of her mistake. Believing herself useless, her Soul Gem turned pitch black. Now awake and purified, she chooses not to run. She asks to join Momoko and Rena, who went ahead to hunt the Witch. Mitama sends her off, confident she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Holiday Nyaprise!====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede asks Mikazuki Villa to watch a lost kitten while her family is away. After Felicia threatens to withhold bedtime hot cocoa, Yachiyo relents and Sana names the cat Gorojirou, or Sir Purrs-a-little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Holiday Nyaprise!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno visits daily to play, and when Gorojirou needs the restroom, Sana rushes it to the litter box just as Yachiyo calls them for lunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia chases the cat until Sana gives her a toy to lure it instead, and they eventually nap together on the couch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou has grown close to everyone, and Iroha tries taking its picture but accidentally films herself instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha shops, Sana watches the cat and Yachiyo admits she avoided getting attached because Gorojirou is temporary, but resolves to make its stay pleasant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou chews Felicia&#039;s favorite sticker, and though Felicia is angry, Sana reminds her the cat leaves tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede returns for Gorojirou, and everyone says a tearful goodbye. As they leave, the cat meows at Sana, who cries happily saying goodbye to her new best friend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Asuka finds herself in a cloud-filled void facing a shadowy version of herself who claims to be the hidden part of Asuka&#039;s heart. The shadow declares Asuka is no longer fit to practice Ryushin-ryu because her blade has been sullied by contracting as a Magical Girl. When Asuka protests, the shadow recounts how Asuka wished for her cousin to become a police officer after his dreams were jeopardized by their uncle&#039;s arrest, arguing that twisting fate with magic was selfish and wrong. The shadow insists that with her heart no longer true, Asuka walks a false path and should abandon her school, urging her to die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her despair, Asuka remembers her father&#039;s words about asking her own heart what is right, like water filling a square bowl. She tells the shadow that perceptions of right and wrong can change with the situation, and though she cannot refute the shadow&#039;s claims, she knows her heart believed her actions were just. Believing words alone cannot reach the shadow, Asuka challenges her to a fight to prove her blade&#039;s strength reflects her sincere heart. The shadow warns that slaying her means slaying herself, but Asuka declares she fears being untrue to herself more than death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their swords clash, and after a long battle, the shadow succumbs to Asuka&#039;s attack and acknowledges her blade was as pure as her heart. The shadow warns she may return in a different form if Asuka&#039;s heart becomes stained again, then vanishes. Asuka awakens near a pond deep in the forest, where she had gone to meditate as part of her training. She remembers the shadow&#039;s promise and considers asking Mitama what it all meant, but feels her father&#039;s words have been engraved in her more deeply now. With her resolve unwavering, she runs back to the dojo, taking a straight path out of the woods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka awakens to find herself in a strange, cloud-filled void. A shadowy copy of herself appears, introducing itself as the part of her she has suppressed deep within her heart. The shadow urges Nanaka to end her pursuit of vengeance, calling it a fruitless endeavor that changes nothing. Nanaka refuses, explaining that the act of revenge itself holds meaning for her, not the result. The shadow questions where vengeance has led her: a life of constant danger in an endless struggle against Witches. Nanaka admits there is nothing to gain from her actions, but her conviction remains unshakable. The shadow then accuses Nanaka of dragging Akira, Kako, and Meiyui into her vengeance, using them to fulfill her goals. Nanaka acknowledges this truth but insists she would never throw their lives away. She believes fate brought them together to fight a common enemy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka recalls the moments before she lost consciousness. Her team had cornered a Witch, but it disappeared and reappeared near a weakened Kako. Nanaka leaped in to shield her, and Akira and Meiyui joined the fight. The shadow suggests Nanaka protected Kako to redeem herself, but Nanaka denies this. The shadow warns it will continue watching from the depths of her heart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka awakens to find her teammates standing over her, relieved she is alive. The Witch is defeated. Nanaka tells Kako not to worry about anything, as they are teammates. Meiyui finds her choice of words unusual, but Akira insists Nanaka see Mitama for a checkup. Kako thanks Nanaka for protecting her. Nanaka smiles, thinking to herself that each of them is their own flower, supporting one another through their shared fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis====&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha announces that a cafe Yachiyo frequents has opened a new location near Mikazuki Villa, and the group decides to visit on opening day. They arrive to find it is actually a Curry House CoCo Ichibanya, and Yachiyo passionately explains the menu options as they wait for the store to open.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the store opens early, the employee announces they cannot open today due to a missing delivery truck carrying ingredients. The employee breaks down in tears, explaining her family came to see her first store opening. The group notices magical energy emanating from the store and decides to help find the truck, promising to return for curry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They investigate at the last store the truck visited. The employee there confirms the truck is missing but provides spare ingredients and explains that stores support each other in times of trouble. The group splits into two teams: one to gather ingredients from other stores, and one to trace the truck&#039;s route. During coordination, they learn a second CoCoIchi truck has also gone missing on the same road.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While gathering ingredients, Tsuruno&#039;s group encounters a lost, hungry girl who flees upon hearing CoCoIchi and nearly crashes into Sana. Afterward, Sana realizes the employee at the new store could see her despite her invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s group follows the road where both trucks disappeared and finds a Witch&#039;s barrier. Inside, they find both trucks and their drivers. Iroha and Ui engage the Witch&#039;s familiars while Yachiyo secures the drivers. Iroha realizes the Witch is targeting the cargo, so she throws curry ingredients at it, causing the Witch to abandon the fight and allowing them to defeat it easily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno calls with urgent news that the store employee is a Magical Girl, her missing little sister is also a Magical Girl, and she has not been able to contact her since yesterday. The group fears the curry-loving Witch they just defeated was the sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the new store, where the employee is preparing their reward curry. Before Iroha can confess, a girl rushes in calling for her sister. It is the employee&#039;s little sister, alive and well. The group realizes the Witch was simply a curry-loving Witch unrelated to the sister. They finally sit down to enjoy the promised curry together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui====&lt;br /&gt;
* Meiyui&#039;s family is helping organize a local event when a stranger stabs one of their members and flees, dropping a badge. Meiyui chooses to tend to the victim rather than give chase, despite his protests that she is being too soft.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many in the organization want revenge, but Meiyui refuses, not wanting to return to their old ways as an evil organization. The members are reluctant to involve the police due to being falsely accused of murder three years prior. Meiyui had contracted with Kyubey back then to expose the truth with her wish, but lingering distrust remains.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui goes alone to track the culprit. The dropped badge leads her to an abandoned company tied to illegal labor her family had helped shut down. After defeating a stray Witch, she is ambushed and kidnapped by a man with a taser.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She wakes handcuffed alongside about ten others. The kidnappers reveal the badge was a trap to lure her. They include a former police officer who had fabricated evidence against her family and associates of the real murderer from that case, all blaming the Blue Seas for ruining their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her Soul Gem is heavily tainted from the Witch fight, and she begins hearing her Doppel&#039;s voice. In a cloudy void, her shadow self insists she should have killed these enemies when she had the chance, arguing her organization cannot survive without dirtying their hands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Meiyui struggles to stay conscious, she uses her last energy to beg the culprits to leave her family alone, insisting they are not a bad group. The stabber dismisses her pleas and suggests killing her as a warning instead. Her Doppel mocks her, saying evil people will always exist no matter how sincerely she tries to live righteously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, her organization members arrive to rescue her. The stabbed victim is among them, now grateful Meiyui had stayed to help him instead of chasing revenge. He admits he used to believe abandoning burdens was the way of the world, but facing death alone showed him he was wrong. He is alive because of Meiyui&#039;s strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hearing this, Meiyui&#039;s mind clears. In the void, her Doppel asks if she is ready to kill them, but Meiyui rejects violence entirely. The Doppel submits, allowing her to put everyone in the area to sleep without bloodshed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The police soon arrive after the kidnapper, persuaded by Meiyui, confesses over the phone. They find several family members asleep everywhere and note a look of complete relief on Meiyui&#039;s sleeping face.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Little Bird&#039;s Star====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe and other Black Feathers are in Fendt Hope, commiserating about their weakness. A White Feather had to bail them out after they were followed by a Witch while delivering a parcel from Mitama&#039;s shop. They discuss Yachiyo Nanami, a veteran Magical Girl who destroys Uwasas.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu and Nemu emerge from a room arguing. Nemu dismisses Mifuyu and approaches the Black Feathers with a request. She asks them to investigate the &amp;quot;Uwasa of the Jealous Coward,&amp;quot; also called the &amp;quot;Green-Eyed Coward.&amp;quot; Kuroe hesitates but agrees when Nemu insists she has the aptitude.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group investigates an area with many students but cannot find the Uwasa. The other Black Feathers leave for personal commitments. Kuroe stays, feeling she has nothing to return to. The Uwasa manifests when Kuroe expresses envy toward the other girls&#039; normal lives. Two Black Feathers are knocked unconscious. Nemu is satisfied with the results and tasks Kuroe with investigating more Uwasas starting tomorrow. Kuroe protests but Nemu leaves before she can refuse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The Amane twins, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo, meet Kuroe at Fendt Hope and they begin investigating Uwasas in Sakae Ward but find nothing. They move to Hokuyo Ward. Kuroe notices a missing cat poster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They sense Yachiyo&#039;s group nearby and flee. Yachiyo and Iroha corner Kuroe. The twins escape. Yachiyo interrogates Kuroe. An Uwasa resembling Kuroe appears and attacks, then disappears. Yachiyo accuses Kuroe of controlling it. Kuroe insists she had no knowledge of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo decides to take Kuroe camping to monitor her. At the campground, the Amane twins briefly contact Kuroe and say they will consult Nemu, so Kuroe resolves to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe helps Iroha gather firewood. Iroha is scared by a caterpillar and Kuroe removes it. Kuroe introduces herself by name. She helps the group set up their tent and prepare lunch, using skills learned from Wings of Magius training. She reminds herself not to get drawn into their warm atmosphere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mentions a waterfall power spot. Kuroe offers to get water. Iroha accompanies her. They get lost. A woman helps Kuroe find the waterfall and gives her an empty bottle. The woman explains the place is her personal power spot for resetting her mind. Kuroe wishes she had strength to face the future. The Uwasa appears and attacks the woman. Iroha arrives and finds the woman unconscious. Kuroe begs Iroha for help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe carries the unconscious woman back to the campsite. The Amane twins inform her that Nemu says she is possessed by the Uwasa and should stay with Yachiyo&#039;s group. Yachiyo warns that if more casualties occur, she will destroy the Uwasa. Iroha suggests keeping Kuroe for observation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group participates in a stamp rally and Iroha and Kuroe pair up. They discover they are both from Takarazaki. Iroha explains she moved to Kamihama to find her missing sister. Suddenly, a Witch appears and Kuroe and Iroha fight it together. Kuroe acts as a decoy while Iroha defeats the Witch. Kuroe feels inadequate compared to Iroha&#039;s courage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe asks for time alone and she reflects on her fears and envy. The Uwasa appears again, resembling Kuroe. The group fights it and Iroha urges Kuroe to destroy the Uwasa. Kuroe admits she is afraid she cannot be herself, so she and Iroha destroy the Uwasa together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amane twins inform Kuroe they must report the Uwasa&#039;s destruction, yet Kuroe does not regret it. Iroha asks to talk with Kuroe and Yachiyo offers them tea. Kuroe admits she feels safe with the Wings of Magius because they represent hope for her. Iroha accepts this and Kuroe tells Iroha she wants to be like her someday. They part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe finds the missing cat and returns it to its owner, who is overjoyed. Kuroe realizes she saved someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe reports to Nemu and Mifuyu. Nemu reveals the Uwasa summons itself based on dissatisfaction and envy. Nemu admits she expected Yachiyo&#039;s group to handle an accident with the Uwasa. However, Nemu is satisfied that she now has more research on fusing Uwasa with Magical Girls, however Mifuyu warns Nemu not to experiment on the Feathers. Kuroe realizes that even the Magius are imperfect and she reflects on her long day. She resolves to do her best, one step at a time, and hopes to see Iroha again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 7th==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia and Sana decide to buy matching coasters as a gift for Yachiyo, to show their appreciation, and after some searching, they find a suitable set.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: Memories That Reveal the Truth]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 8th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the plan to present the gift is interrupted when Mifuyu Azusa arrives at the villa before Yachiyo returns home. The girls&#039; plan was for Iroha to wait inside while the others came from outside to surprise Yachiyo. Mifuyu prepares tea and reveals one of the two mugs on the top shelf, which Yachiyo forbade Iroha from using, belongs to her. Mifuyu invites Iroha to a lecture hosted by the Wings of the Magius to explain their goal of &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls. The lecture is scheduled for two days later at the Memory Museum and Iroha agrees to investigate the Rumor about the museum first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo returns home and is visibly distressed to find Mifuyu there. Mifuyu leaves, asking Iroha to inform the others about the lecture. Before finally leaving, Mifuyu returns to speak to Yachiyo privately. She references a &amp;quot;promise&amp;quot; they made a year ago, and accuses Yachiyo of returning to her old ways. Yachiyo insists her relationship with Iroha and the others is &amp;quot;just cooperating.&amp;quot; Yachiyo retreats to her room without receiving the coasters. That night, Yachiyo reflects on her past, resolving to return to the person she once was.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 9th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the lecture, Iroha is unable to give Yachiyo the coasters due to Yachiyo&#039;s low spirits. Iroha discusses her plan to attend the Wings of the Magius lecture with Madoka Kaname via text. Iroha then attempts to investigate the Rumor of the Memory Museum. Yachiyo claims no knowledge of it and leaves for school. Iroha and Momoko ask Mitama, who refuses to share information to maintain her neutrality. After the visit, Mitama has a separate conversation with Momoko about Momoko&#039;s own secret, advising her to tell her friends the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede and Rena help Iroha by summoning the creature that recites the Rumor of the Memory Museum, which allows people to view researched memories. Tsuruno&#039;s father provides the location of the similar-sounding &amp;quot;Kamihama Memorial Museum.&amp;quot; That evening, Yachiyo refuses to join the investigation, reiterating that her relationship with the others is strictly professional, which saddens Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Saturday, the 10th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the lecture, Yachiyo again refuses to go to the museum and Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana go to the Kamihama Memorial Museum without her. There, they are greeted by Touka Satomi, who reveals herself as one of the three Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently at Mikazuki, Yachiyo, haunted by memories of past friends, decides she must investigate the Memory Museum herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Touka throne 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka Satomi gives them a lecture titled &amp;quot;The Truth Behind Magical Girls.&amp;quot; She presents three key items through illustrative stories:&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 1: Soul Gems. A story reveals that a Soul Gem is a Magical Girl&#039;s actual soul. Using magic consumes this life force, and if the gem shatters, the Magical Girl dies. Touka uses an analogy of an internal vs. external battery to explain Soul Gems and Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 2: Witches. A second story demonstrates that when a Magical Girl&#039;s Soul Gem becomes fully corrupted, she transforms into a Witch. This revelation traumatizes Felicia, who realizes the Witches she has been killing were once Magical Girls and that she herself is destined to become one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 3: Doppels. A third story explains that in Kamihama City, a fully corrupted Soul Gem can manifest a &amp;quot;Doppel&amp;quot; instead of a Witch. The Wings of the Magius present this as the key to &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls from their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* To prove their claims, Touka and Mifuyu Azusa activate the Memory Museum&#039;s Rumor. Mifuyu presents a book containing her own memories, inviting the group to witness the truth of the lecture firsthand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo arrives at the museum and confronts Touka. She is shown into the memory dimension where Iroha and the others are and Mifuyu activates the Rumor, forcing the group to relive her memories. The memories depict Yachiyo&#039;s former team, Mikazuki Villa:&lt;br /&gt;
** The first memory shows Kanae Yukino sacrificing herself to reveal a Witch&#039;s weakness. Her uninjured body is found next to her shattered Soul Gem, proving the Soul Gem is the Magical Girl&#039;s life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second memory shows Mel Anna using too much magic to protect Yachiyo. With no Grief Seed to purify her fully corrupted Soul Gem, Mel transforms into a Witch before the team&#039;s eyes, confirming Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The third memory shows Mifuyu&#039;s despair six months after Mel&#039;s death, causing her Soul Gem to corrupt fully. Instead of becoming a Witch, she manifests a Doppel. Touka then appears and recruits her into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno is consumed by guilt over Mel&#039;s death, believing her absence that day was the cause. Felicia is horrified, realizing the Witches she killed were Magical Girls and Sana is terrified but feels powerless to change the system. Touka and Mifuyu use this emotional vulnerability to press their recruitment offers to each girl, promising a world where these tragedies are impossible and even suggesting Sana could be freed from her wish of invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo reject the offer to join and Yachiyo compares the Magius&#039; methods to Kyubey&#039;s, accusing them of exploiting weaknesses. Yachiyo then announces she is disbanding their team, which Iroha protests, but Yachiyo insists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka reveals that Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana have been brainwashed and now serve the Wings of the Magius. Alina Gray arrives and traps Iroha and Yachiyo within her Labyrinth and leaves them to face a Witch. As they fight the Witch, Yachiyo reiterates her decision to disband the team and work alone. She reveals her wish was &amp;quot;I want to survive,&amp;quot; and explains that she interprets this as a curse: the power to survive by sacrificing her teammates, based on the last words of her former comrades, Kanae and Mel, who both died while she lived. Yachiyo believes that to protect Iroha, she must sever their partnership.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha rejects Yachiyo&#039;s conclusion. She declares she will defeat the Uwasa alone to prove Yachiyo&#039;s &amp;quot;curse&amp;quot; is not real and that she can protect Yachiyo. Iroha states she is angry that Yachiyo made this decision for everyone and vows to rescue their brainwashed friends. She defeats the Witch and rejects Yachiyo&#039;s belief in a cursed wish and declares herself the new leader to nullify its perceived effect. Yachiyo relents and agrees to work with Iroha to save their friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the same time, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, having detected Mami&#039;s magic while investigating Kamihama, investigate the closed Kamihama Recording Museum. They are attacked by the Wings of the Magius. While Madoka and Homura hold them off, Sayaka proceeds and witnesses Mami, transformed into &amp;quot;Holy Mami,&amp;quot; attacking Iroha and Yachiyo. It is here that Sayaka learns the horrific truth that Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: A Stand-Off With Fate]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, now a brainwashed member of the Wings of the Magius, confronts them. As Iroha and Yachiyo are too injured to fight, Sayaka Miki arrives and intervenes. Sayaka uses a bomb from Homura to create a diversion, allowing the three to escape.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After their escape, Sayaka gives Iroha a Grief Seed. Iroha explains the truth about Witches and the Wings of the Magius to Sayaka, who is horrified. Sayaka leaves to process this information and Iroha and Yachiyo walk home in silence to reflect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After fleeing the museum, Sayaka reunites with Madoka and Homura, defeats their pursuers in a distraught state, and explains what happened to Mami to them, as well as the truth about becoming Witches.The group returns to Mitakihara in silence but Madoka resolves to find a way to avoid their fate and to save Mami. Sayaka agrees to fight back as well and later decides to meet with Kyoko Sakura.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, at Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo reaffirm their commitment to save their friends and Momoko arrives, having told the secret of Magical Girls to Rena and Kaede. Yachiyo also apologizes for her actions and explains her fears about her wish. Momoko forgives her and reaffirms their friendship. Iroha then receives a text from Madoka, who promises to come to Kamihama to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Sayaka meets Kyoko and reveals the truth about Witches. Kyoko deduces this is what the Wings of the Magius meant by &amp;quot;saving&amp;quot; Magical Girls. Kyoko declares she will find a way to avoid becoming a Witch and confront the Wings of the Magius alone, rejecting Sayaka&#039;s offer of help. Despite Sayaka&#039;s protests, Kyoko leaves to operate solo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Likely during this time, Yachiyo pulls out a box containing what her former friends Kanae Yukino and Mel Anna left behind. She has never opened it since filling it and spends the entire day staring at it, unable to lift the lid. When Iroha arrives and asks about it, Yachiyo explains and admits she is trying to work through her feelings. Iroha offers to help, but Yachiyo deflects, reminding her they were supposed to visit Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls visit Mitama Yakumo and present Grief Seeds as payment for adjustment. Mitama is surprised by the offering and promises to do her best, but she expresses concern about Yachiyo&#039;s emotional state. She suggests Yachiyo clear up her issues with the box before moving forward and offers to adjust both girls at once as a special exception.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Mitama works on her, Yachiyo finds herself in a gray room confronted by a shadowy doppelganger. The shadow accuses her of being afraid of the future and clinging to the past. When Yachiyo refuses to give in to despair, the shadow transforms into her doppel, but she stands firm, accepting her fear while choosing to move forward. Iroha appears beside her, and together they bid farewell to visions of Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo awakens and realizes Mitama adjusted them together intentionally, trusting Iroha could help her if needed. She thanks Mitama for looking out for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at her house, Yachiyo finally opens the box with Iroha beside her. Inside, Kanae left a book of lyrics about becoming a circle with others, and Mel left fortune telling impressions predicting a future where many magical girls would gather in Kamihama. Yachiyo cries as she reads their words. Iroha suggests they head toward that gentle future together. Yachiyo agrees but says first they need to get back their own three points: Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha resolves to find her lost friends and mentally tells Ui to wait a bit longer. Iroha and Yachiyo finish cleaning their house. Iroha resolves to give the coasters she and the others bought for Yachiyo when everyone is reunited. Iroha says she sent a message to Madoka in Mitakihara City, but hasn&#039;t gotten a response.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 7: Awakening to Paradise]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Immediately after Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana are taken, Mifuyu reports to Touka and Alina that the brainwashing on the three is holding, so Touka selects Tsuruno for a mission, which Alina states will involve &amp;quot;mass murder.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in her room, Iroha thinks back to when she celebrated Christmas with her friends, but resolves to keep going with her mission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sunday, the 11th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo investigate the Kamihama Rumor Files at Mikazuki Villa. Iroha recognizes some of the Rumors. They meet with Momoko, who mentions Tsuruno&#039;s perfect school attendance record is now broken and that a new amusement park is also opening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo visit Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant and her father reveals Tsuruno and Felicia visited once. Tsuruno told him she found a place where she feels safe and would not return and he notes her expression was blank, similar to how she looked a year ago after Mel&#039;s death. Afterwards, a White Feather ambushes Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will be used for a mission like Tsuruno, and the two fight off the attacker.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Monday, the 12th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo devise a plan to destroy Rumors across Kamihama to lure out the Wings of the Magius and locate their base. They share this plan with Momoko, who offers to help by getting Grief Seeds for them while they hunt. Momoko then goes to check on Kaede, who is hiding in her room. She hugs Kaede and tells her she and Rena will always be there to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo systematically hunt Rumors like the &amp;quot;Historical Battle Marker,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Castle Town Illusion,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Headless Biker Gang,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Puzzle Tiles Lock,&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;Fashion Monster.&amp;quot; They also interrogate captured Feathers, but none reveal information about Tsuruno, Felicia, or Sana&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Momoko investigates a rapidly spreading rumor about a new amusement park. She notes it originated in the east and spread west through Sakae, Mizuna, and Shinsei Wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha and Yachiyo analyze the Kamihama Rumor Files, marking all known Rumor locations on a map. They identify a pattern: Rumors cluster more densely in Shinsei Ward, with a notable concentration around Satomi Medical Center, the hospital where Ui was supposedly treated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They travel to the hospital area and are ambushed by Feathers. Felicia and Sana, who had broken free of the brainwashing, arrive and help fight off the attackers. The four Magical Girls reunite and Felicia and Sana reveal they pretended to be brainwashed to gather information. Momoko confirms the amusement park rumor spread from east to west and will open at dawn in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Sana explain to Yachiyo and Iroha that Mifuyu used her illusion magic to break their brainwashing. Mifuyu revealed the Magius are protecting and strengthening Witches for their liberation plan and are planning to use the brainwashed Magical Girls to cross a dangerous line. Mifuyu attempted to free Tsuruno but failed, as Tsuruno&#039;s reason for being brainwashed was different. Mifuyu then helped Felicia and Sana escape but chose to remain behind, stating they would be enemies next time they meet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko arrives and shares her investigation into a new Rumor about an amusement park opening at dawn in two days. She confirms it spread from the east, and the group overlays the Rumor locations on a map and identifies a pattern suggesting a source or &amp;quot;eye of the storm&amp;quot; in the eastern wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kanagi screenshot.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo decides to contact Kanagi Izumi, the powerful Magical Girl who controls the eastern Daito and Kosho Wards and is a former rival of hers. Kanagi agrees to an alliance, and during their call, Tsukasa of the Wings of the Magius arrives at Kanagi&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tuesday, the 13th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The morning, Felicia and Sana try to accompany Iroha and Yachiyo but are told to rest due to their collapse the previous night. Iroha and Yachiyo leave them behind. Meanwhile in Kosho Ward, Iroha, Yachiyo, Momoko, and Kanagi meet and Kanagi agrees to ally with them against the Wings of the Magius. They combine their Rumor data on a map, which reveals a circular pattern with a vacant center in Kosho Ward and Kanagi identifies the old railway yard as the likely location of the Wings&#039; base.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After learning the truth about Witches, Madoka questions Kyubey about a way to avoid becoming a Witch. Kyubey states he knows of no method and reveals he cannot enter Kamihama City himself. He proposes an alliance to investigate the Wings of the Magius but Madoka refuses to promise cooperation. She resolves to return to Kamihama with her friends, but then a Witch from Kamihama appears in Mitakihara.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 7: Eve of the Awakening]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura defeat the Kamihama Witch. They share Grief Seeds and note the alarming appearance of foreign Witches in their city. The trio resolves to go to Kamihama the next day to find answers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Around this time, Kyoko successfully infiltrates the Wings of the Magius. She is assigned to a team tasked with dealing with a group that erases Rumors, which she suspects is Iroha&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s group travels to the railway yard but finds it empty. They are ambushed by Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who summon Witches and during the battle, Kanagi uses her unique power to read Iroha&#039;s true intentions and confirms her sincerity. Kanagi then joins the fight and helps defeat the Amane sisters and their Black Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi uses her power on the defeated Amane sisters to read their minds and she learns that Tsuruno is still completely brainwashed and has become part of an Uwasa to protect it. She also learns Tsuruno&#039;s location is at the Ferris Wheel Field in Daito Ward and the group prepares to move out immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Sana and Felicia wait anxiously and Yachiyo calls them with an update.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Rena visits Kaede at her house, and after an argument involving slapping and pinching, Kaede reconciles with Rena and agrees to return to school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team arrives in Daito Ward, where Yachiyo and Iroha plan to enter the &amp;quot;amusement park&amp;quot; Rumor to save Tsuruno, while Felicia, Sana, Momoko, and Kanagi hold off the Wings of the Magius. The group locates the Rumor&#039;s entrance and Kanagi and Momoko stay behind to fight the Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo proceed and confront Alina, Touka, and Mifuyu, where Alina declares her intent to erase them. During the battle, Mifuyu secretly tells Yachiyo that destroying the main Uwasa will kill Tsuruno, and that they must instead tear the Uwasa from her by connecting with her heart. Mifuyu also reveals Tsuruno is in a Ferris wheel car.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101705 uwasatsuruno.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo enter the Rumor, &amp;quot;Chelation Land,&amp;quot; which induces a hazy, thoughtless state. They find Tsuruno, who has fully merged with the Uwasa and acts as the park&#039;s host. Tsuruno tries to force them to relax and stay, serving them hotpot in mugs reminiscent of Mikazuki Villa, but they refuse and attempt to reason with Tsuruno, and she attacks them. Following Mifuyu&#039;s advice, they combine their magic to tear the Uwasa from Tsuruno in one powerful strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nemu02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After Tsuruno is freed from the Uwasa, Yachiyo realizes that Tsuruno&#039;s cheerful demeanor was a facade to hide her pain and guilt over past events, including the death of Mel. The team defeats the main Uwasa of Chelation Land and the Magius, Touka, Nemu Hiiragi, and Alina, confront the group. Nemu reveals she is the &amp;quot;Creator&amp;quot; of all the Rumors in Kamihama and the Magius explain their goal: to use the energy generated by Rumors and Witches to hatch &amp;quot;Embryo Eve,&amp;quot; a being that will liberate all Magical Girls worldwide from the fate of becoming Witches. They state the phenomenon requires the presence of all three Magius and a massive energy source, for which they have used the people of Kamihama and the teams part ways in opposition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Wednesday, the 14th==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101701 coaster02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, at Mikazuki Villa, the team summarizes the Magius&#039; plan and that Kamihama is an incubator for Embryo Eve. They resolve to stop the Magius due to the plan&#039;s high human cost and the group gives Yachiyo the set of sakura blossom-themed coasters as a symbol of their team unity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka are separately attacked by multiple Kamihama Witches in Mitakihara before reuniting. They realize the Witch incursion is a coordinated attack meant to prevent them from leaving Mitakihara. Their magic and Grief Seed reserves are heavily depleted in the constant battles.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the ongoing Witch attacks, the trio is overwhelmed by a powerful Witch and is forced to retreat. Sayaka breaks down, admitting her terror of becoming a Witch and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka share their fears and resolve to face the threat together. They are observed by Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, who imply the attack is part of their plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Fendt Hope, Kyoko, having gained the trust of her unit, is taken on a tour of the Wings of the Magius headquarters by her White Feather superior.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, the three defeat the Feathers sent to observe them, and after interrogating them, they receive a message from Iroha about how to save Mami. Holy Mami arrives to Mitakihara and reveals she brought the Witches to Mitakihara to keep the three of them &amp;quot;safe,&amp;quot; and insists the Magius will save them. Alina Gray also appears and traps Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka in a Barrier, which Mami seals with her ribbons.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her infiltration, Kyoko is taken to Hotel Fenthope by Mifuyu Azusa. She confronts Holy Mami, accusing her of not being the real Mami Tomoe. Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi arrive and reinforce the Rumor brainwashing on Mami. Mifuyu secretly escorts Kyoko away and reveals the Magius&#039; plans: they are using a mysterious entity called &amp;quot;Eve&amp;quot; to liberate Magical Girls and are deliberately bringing Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama to hatch it. Horrified, Kyoko rejects the Magius and is led out of the city by Mifuyu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Once More From Here]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko arrives in Mitakihara and frees Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka from Alina&#039;s Barrier. She explains the Magius&#039; plan to bring Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama and Homura urges the group to stay in Mitakihara for safety. Kyoko departs alone, later resolving to return and crush the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Iroha has a sudden memory flashback to the hospital, triggered by the word &amp;quot;sakura.&amp;quot; She remembers a story she, Ui, Touka, and Nemu created about the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot; She deduces this Rumor is real and located at the hospital, and that all the Rumors were created there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Touka and Nemu observe that Embryo Eve has reached a critical state and they confirm that a legendary, cross-dimensional event they foresaw: the arrival of Walpurgisnacht, will provide the final, massive energy surge needed to hatch Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo calls a meeting with the Mikazuki Villa household, Tsuruno, and the Momoko trio to share her concern that rumors persist even after they defeat the Uwasa themselves. The group splits up to investigate whether the original Uwasa have truly vanished or transformed into something new.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Hereafter]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko, Kaede, and Rena investigate the Breakup Staircase and find only scattered internet gossip remains. During their search, lingering tensions surface over Rena&#039;s painful memories of when Kaede was kidnapped by that Uwasa, but the trio ultimately reconciles and continues working together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno visit Mizuna Shrine, where the Séance Shrine Uwasa has transformed into a popular spot for relationship prayers with new mascots. They encounter a grieving girl who comes daily to pray for her deceased friend, and Yachiyo is reminded of her own departed companions Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Felicia track down the man behind the revived Misery Water rumor, who confesses he was scammed into buying the water and cannot bring himself to deceive others. Felicia helps him find honest work, and the rumors die out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana investigates an online forum where troubled users make veiled threats, but the rumor fades without incident. Tsuruno and Iroha check Chelation Land, where Tsuruno reflects on her past brainwashing and muses about whether some Uwasa exist independently of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The groups reconvene and report that all investigated rumors have left minimal traces. Yachiyo concludes their investigation of the Uwasa is complete, and only the Wings of Magius themselves remain to be confronted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voices from Beyond, Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the afterlife, Mel Anna meets Kanae Yukino, another Magical Girl ghost who also died fighting a Witch. Mel is thrilled to discover they were both on a team with Yachiyo Nanami and calls Kanae her senpai. Kanae takes Mel to a ghost cafe where deceased Magical Girls gather, explaining they cannot interact with the living world except through psychics.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Voices From Beyond]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they wander Kamihama, Mel notices Witch numbers rising dramatically and worries about Yachiyo. They follow Yachiyo and are relieved to find she has new companions in Iroha Tamaki and others, though they remain concerned about their former teammate Mifuyu&#039;s absence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, they watch helplessly as Yachiyo battles the Wings of Magius and eventually enters the Memory Museum, where she relives the trauma of losing Mel and Kanae. When Yachiyo dissolves her team afterward, convinced her magic causes others to die for her, the ghosts desperately try to reach her. Kanae notices Yachiyo kept their mementos: Mel&#039;s fortune log and Kanae&#039;s notebook. They focus their thoughts on these items, and that night, Yachiyo discovers their messages—Kanae&#039;s lyrics about forming a circle and Mel&#039;s fortune predicting the current events. Grateful, she resolves to move forward. Their successful contact gets their ghost licenses suspended, and they watch Yachiyo&#039;s dream of their encounter before fading.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 15th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius initiate a city-wide offensive, unleashing powerful Witches and sending brainwashed Black and White Feathers to indiscriminately attack other Magical Girls. Mami delivers a declaration of war to Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will no longer delay their plan for &amp;quot;freedom.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Kamihama, Painted in Fiction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magical Girls of Kamihama form a coordinated response and Yachiyo&#039;s team devises a strategy: first, eliminate the unleashed Witches; second, protect other Magical Girls and direct them to Mitama&#039;s shop as a safe haven; third, deal with the rampaging Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, recalling the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; in Hokuyo Ward, theorizes it could be the location of the Magius&#039; hidden base. Yachiyo approves Iroha and Sana to investigate this lead separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next several hours, the teams execute the plan. Yachiyo rescues Ren from a Black Feather and escorts her to Mitama&#039;s shop. Kaede Afinds Konomi protecting an injured Kako; together they defeat a Witch and get Kako to safety. Rena aids Asuka and Sasara, later teaming with Ria and Manaka to defeat a Witch. Momoko and Aimi rescue Kokoro and Masara from Feathers. Tsuruno works with Hinano to eliminate a Witch and warns her about the Feathers. Felicia fights alongside Akira and Nanaka&#039;s group, eventually reuniting with Tsuruno. Kanagi protects Himika from Feathers and sends her to Mitama&#039;s. Yachiyo and Kanagi also rescue Riko and Ayaka from Feather attacks and track the enemy to a heliport. Yachiyo, Kanagi, Momoko&#039;s team, and Tsuruno&#039;s team successfully clear the city of the powerful Witches and they rescue and guide numerous Magical Girls to Mitama&#039;s shop. Momoko confronts Mitama, challenging her to abandon her neutral stance and Mitama agrees to allow her shop to be used as a headquarters and to share her knowledge about the Magius&#039; plans.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama reveals the truth that Magical Girls are destined to become Witches, and that the Magius aim to use the energy from Embryo Eve to spread the Doppel phenomenon worldwide, preventing this fate. However, their methods involve sacrificing the citizens of Kamihama and other Magical Girls to gather this energy, so the Magical Girls at the shelter decide to join the fight against the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, in Chuo Ward, Yachiyo and Kanagi are ambushed by Mami and a horde of brainwashed Feathers at the Kamihama Central Tower heliport. The battle is difficult due to the Feathers&#039; numbers and Mami&#039;s enhanced power from the Uwasa. Kanagi reads Mami&#039;s mind and finds her personality has been completely overwritten by the Uwasa&#039;s influence, leaving only her devotion to the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia then arrive as reinforcements and during the fight, a Black Feather loses her &amp;quot;Receiver Pendant.&amp;quot; Kanagi reads this Feather&#039;s mind, uncovering that the Feathers&#039; berserk state is caused by the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Receiver Pendant,&amp;quot; which numbs their emotions and forces them to obey the Magius&#039; orders. The memory also reveals the three Magius orchestrating the attack to harvest emotional energy from the chaos, believing it will bring their utopia closer. The Feather who lost her pendant then begins to regain her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team battles the brainwashed Mami and the Wings of the Magius. With the help of Momoko&#039;s team and Kanagi&#039;s ability to read the enemy&#039;s weakness, they remove the Uwasa from Mami, freeing her from its control. Mami collapses from exhaustion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Homura pleads with Madoka and Sayaka not to go to Kamihama, fearing for their lives against Walpurgisnacht. After initial hesitation, Madoka and Sayaka resolve to go and Homura agrees to accompany them. The trio leaves for Kamihama but cannot contact Iroha Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Upon arriving in Kamihama, the three are attacked by brainwashed Black Feathers in Sakae Ward, but the Feathers suddenly regain their senses and flee. The trio pursues them into Central Ward and meets Kanoko Yayoi, Karin Misono, and Natsuki Utsuho. They learn that other Magical Girls are gathering at Mitama Yakumo&#039;s office and Karin reveals she saw Nanaka Tokiwa carrying an unconscious Mami there. The group goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds Mami, who has been freed from the Magius&#039; control and awakens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius then execute their plan: they cause a city-wide blackout and seize control of Kamihama&#039;s radio waves and power grid. They use Nemu&#039;s power to project a false utopia over the city, attracting Witches, and Touka&#039;s power to send a signal that summons the legendary Witch, Walpurgisnacht. Their goal is to use the chaos and emotional energy to hatch &amp;quot;Eve.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana infiltrate the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; Labyrinth, initially having their presence hidden due to Sana&#039;s unique magic. There, Iroha confronts Touka and Nemu, using the Uwasa itself as proof that her memories of their shared past with Ui are real. Despite this, Touka and Nemu don&#039;t believe her and refuse to halt their plans. Alina arrives, captures Iroha, and takes her to their main base, Hotel Fendt Hope. Afterwards, Sana escapes and informs Yachiyo&#039;s arriving team of Iroha&#039;s capture.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Mitama reveals she previously supplied the Wings with Grief Seeds in exchange for neutrality but has now chosen to side with Yachiyo&#039;s team against them. Mami herself awakens, now having reconciled with her inner turmoil. Now, Yachiyo&#039;s team, reinforced by Momoko&#039;s team and Mami, prepares to assault Hotel Fendt Hope to rescue Iroha and stop the Magius before Walpurgisnacht arrives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, freed from the Uwasa&#039;s influence, resolves to expose the Magius&#039; true plans to the Feathers and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka decide to support her instead of joining Iroha&#039;s group. Nanaka and her team escort them to the heliport and during the journey, Mami explains to Nanaka that the Feathers&#039; loyalty was placed not in the Magius themselves, but in Mifuyu Azusa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 9: Take My Hand]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the heliport, Mami arrives where the exhausted Feathers and Kamihama Magical Girls are at a stalemate. She reveals the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice hundreds of civilians, including the Feathers&#039; own friends and family, to Walpurgisnacht. She also details their previous use of the Chelation Land Rumor for a similar purpose and the Feathers are shocked and dismayed. Some even accuse Mami of hypocrisy, which she does not deny.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Feathers split into two factions: one that still desires liberation at any cost and another that vows to protect Kamihama. A fight breaks out between them and Madoka and the others defend Mami, declaring their unwavering friendship. Moved, Mami asks the Feathers if they have anyone they trust unconditionally, as she now does, and the Feathers state they trust Mifuyu and demand to hear the truth from her directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami entrusts the Feathers to Nanaka&#039;s team, while she, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka then proceed to Hotel Fendthope to aid Iroha. On the way, Mami thanks her friends and asks them to rely on her as an equal ally and friend, not as a veteran. They arrive at the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Mitama is guarding the entrance. She confirms she is aware of Mami&#039;s past struggles and allows the group to pass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 16th==&lt;br /&gt;
* At Hotel Fendt Hope, Sana infiltrates the hotel to find Iroha and she overhears Feathers discussing Iroha&#039;s location and heads there. Iroha is held in a cell and, with her Soul Gem confiscated, she reflects on her memories of Ui, Touka, and Nemu and resolves to stop the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their plans and Alina demands Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem and body be brought to her. A weather report at the same time indicates the approach of Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana locates Iroha&#039;s cell, and she breaks Iroha out, but the act of breaking the cell door triggers an Uwasa, as the entire building is part of a Rumor. Sana defeats the Uwasa and as they flee, they are ambushed by Black Feathers. Kyoko Sakura, who was undergoing an orientation with the Feathers but decided against joining them, intervenes and helps defeat the attackers as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha explains the Magius&#039; goal is to summon Walpurgisnacht, and Kyoko reveals the Magius also plan to use Iroha, Mifuyu, and the Amane sisters as nourishment for &amp;quot;Eve,&amp;quot; the core of the system. Suddenly, Iroha collapses and stops breathing due to the distance from her Soul Gem. A Black Feather who pretended to be unconscious seizes Iroha&#039;s body and escapes with it, and Sana and Kyoko give chase.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team enters the Hotel Fendt Hope through the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth and they split into two teams: Yachiyo&#039;s group heads to the top floor to rescue Mifuyu and the Amane sisters, while Momoko&#039;s group searches for Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team finds Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa unconscious, their bodies separated from their Soul Gems. They quickly recover the Soul Gems, reviving the three, and Mifuyu confirms the Magius summoned Walpurgisnacht to provide energy to hatch Eve. Mifuyu and the Amane sisters renounce the Magius and join Yachiyo&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Iroha is transported by a Black Feather who reveals her motivation: her younger sister turned into a Witch, and she supports the Magius to prevent others from suffering the same fate. Momoko&#039;s team intercepts them and rescues Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko and Sana fight their way through the hotel and reunite with the main group. Momoko&#039;s team recovers a bag containing Iroha&#039;s, Mifuyu&#039;s, and the Amane sisters&#039; Soul Gems. A group of Feathers from the East confronts them but is persuaded by Kanagi to stand down, and they retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the teams reunited, the full coalition of Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, Kanagi, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Kyoko regroups. They possess all the stolen Soul Gems and are united in their goal to stop the Magius and confront Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team&#039;s path to the underground chapel is blocked and Mifuyu determines the magical building, a Rumor crafted by Nemu Hiiragi, has been reconfigured. Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa attempt to break the blockade, but a powerful magical wind erupts, separating the group. Mifuyu, the Amane sisters, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, and Kyoko are blown outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, Sana, Felicia, Tsuruno, and Kanagi remain inside and they defeat an Uwasa that attacks them. Mifuyu communicates from outside that they are locked out, and she devises a new plan: her group will gather other Kamihama Magical Girls to attack and destroy the Uwasa of Hotel Fendt Hope itself, which will collapse the building. She instructs Yachiyo&#039;s group to hurry to the underground chapel for safety before the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu&#039;s group fights off Witches released by Alina Gray as a defense measure. Mami, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka also arrive and assist them. After the battle, Mami convinces Mifuyu to address all the Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, and using the Amane sisters&#039; sound magic, Mifuyu broadcasts a telepathic message across Kamihama, revealing the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice civilians and summon Walpurgisnacht. She urges the Feathers to lay down their arms and prepare to fight the legendary Witch. Many Feathers also heed her call and defect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami then uses her magic to create a small opening in the building&#039;s barrier and enters Hotel Fendt Hope alone to rejoin Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kyoko is noted to be absent. Yachiyo&#039;s team searches for the entrance to the underground chapel and Mami reveals she concealed the entrance with her magic. She severs the ribbon hiding the path, officially breaking her ties with the Wings of the Magius and Mami then leaves to assist with the attack on the Uwasa of Fendt Hope outside. Kyoko meets Mami along the way and gives her a Grief Seed before they both exit the building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team then encounters false copies of Touka, Nemu, and Alina from the Mirror Witch&#039;s barrier; they realize the fakes speak differently and defeat them before continuing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, Mifuyu&#039;s group, now joined by Mami, Kyoko, and the Feathers who defected, attacks the Uwasa of Fendt Hope. Despite a coordinated assault, the Uwasa proves extremely resilient and withstands their combined power. The battle continues as the city-wide weather disaster escalates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team proceeds down a long staircase into a deep, dark underground area filled with strong magical impurities. Along the way, they are confronted by Mirror copies of themselves that voice their deepest insecurities, but each member overcomes their own doubts by relying on their friends. In the underground chapel, they find Alina, Nemu, and Touka waiting for them. At the back of the chapel, they see the massive, unhatched form of the Witch known as Embryo Eve. They reveal the full scope of their plan. They explain that Kyubey&#039;s true mission is to harvest the emotional energy of Magical Girls to counteract the universe&#039;s heat death. The cycle of hope and despair, culminating in a Magical Girl&#039;s transformation into a Witch, produces the necessary energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius intend to usurp this system. They plan to use the phase transition energy from Eve&#039;s transformation into a full Witch to create a permanent forcefield over Kamihama. This field would allow Magical Girls to release their impurities as Doppels instead of becoming Witches, and the energy would be fed back to the universe, making Kyubey and new Magical Girl contracts obsolete. The imminent arrival of Walpurgisnacht is a key part of their plan, as its destruction by Eve will provide the massive energy required.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Despite understanding the plan, Iroha and her team refuse to accept the Magius&#039; methods or their control over the future. The Magius argue that without their plan, Walpurgisnacht will destroy the city regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 2.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, the battle against the Uwasa of Fendt Hope continues. Realizing they are losing, Mifuyu uses a dangerous self-illusion to unleash all her magic at once in a final attack. She destroys the Uwasa but becomes incapacitated in the process as her Soul Gem starts breaking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the chapel, the destruction of the Uwasa causes Fendt Hope&#039;s Labyrinth to collapse, and the chapel is exposed to the outside as the building disappears. After the collapse of Hotel Fendt Hope, the teams reunite in the forest as the Labyrinth vanishes. Yachiyo learns that Mifuyu was severely injured destroying the Uwasa and was taken to Mitama for treatment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius appear with Embryo Eve, now freed from the chapel, and they prepare to fully release Eve so it can devour the approaching Walpurgisnacht. A battle ensues as the teams try to stop them and Iroha and Sana break through the defensive line of Familiars to attack Eve directly. Iroha&#039;s attack on Eve fails and Eve captures Iroha but does not harm her. A bright light emanates from Iroha, allowing Sana to rescue her. Sana reveals she possesses a branch from the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, which was not in bloom when she received it. The branch suddenly blossoms after Iroha touches Eve and Iroha realizes that Embryo Eve is her missing sister, Ui Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana confront Embryo Eve on Takayama Mountain and Iroha believes Eve is her sister, Ui Tamaki, but Eve breaks free from the mountain and begins to move toward Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama City, Walpurgisnacht approaches from the sea, accompanied by a massive horde of Familiars that begin to swarm the city. Magical Girl teams led by Hinano Miyako and Nanaka Tokiwa engage the Familiars along the coast to prevent widespread destruction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the ruins of Hotel Fendt Hope, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo bring the injured Mifuyu to Mitama Yakumo for emergency aid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Takayama Mountain, Iroha pleads with the combined Magical Girl forces not to kill Eve, revealing her belief that it is Ui. The Magius leaders and Alina retreat. Eve leaps into the sky, heading for Sankyo Ward in Kamihama. Yachiyo Nanami&#039;s team prepares to pursue Eve, while Madoka Kaname&#039;s group from Mitakihara heads to the coast to help defend against Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Magius headquarters, Touka and Nemu dismiss Iroha&#039;s claims about Ui, despite Nemu&#039;s private suspicions. Alina expresses interest in Iroha&#039;s memories but remains focused on Eve&#039;s hatching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Eve&#039;s arrival in Sankyo Ward, Mitama informs Iroha and the team that Ui&#039;s true body and Soul Gem are contained within Embryo Eve, which is a &amp;quot;Half-Witch.&amp;quot; To save Ui, they must defeat Eve&#039;s manifested form without destroying the Soul Gem and Mitama identifies a large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest as the core that maintains its form and its weak point. Mitama also treats the comatose Mifuyu, whose Soul Gem is critically cracked from overuse. Mitama stabilizes it but cannot fully heal her, and Tsukuyo and Tsukasa decide to rejoin the fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Eve rampages through Sankyo Ward, the combined Magical Girl teams attack Eve but find their assaults completely ineffective. Mitama, the Amane sisters, and other groups like Hinano Miyako&#039;s team regroup and they decide to consolidate their forces: one group will focus on defeating Eve, while the other prepares for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s landfall.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia readies her hammer and strikes Eve on the head with a magic‑powered blow, using her memory‑obliterating ability to confuse Eve and halt its advance; in the aftermath of the strike, a strange glow is visible near Eve&#039;s belly. Meanwhile, the Amane sisters relay the critical intelligence about Eve&#039;s red jewel weak point to Yachiyo&#039;s team. Eve begins to move toward Chuo Ward, and Sana proposes a plan to immobilize Eve so the team can target its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, the combined forces of Yachiyo&#039;s team, the Amane sisters, and other White Feathers execute a plan to immobilize Embryo Eve. They use chains from Sana&#039;s shield, spears, and plants to bind Eve to a large building and Iroha successfully strikes the large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest, its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eve retaliates by absorbing a massive vortex of impurities its Familiars had collected, causing its body to mutate and merge with the jewel. Iroha then sees a vision of Ui trapped within the core, reaffirming her resolve to save her, but the Magius arrive to protect Eve and ensure it consumes Walpurgisnacht. Iroha declares her intent to enter the gem to save Ui directly, and despite being severely injured, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia hold off the Magius, creating an opening for Iroha to advance toward Eve&#039;s core.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:10-19.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha reaches Ui&#039;s body but cannot shatter the gem surrounding it completely. Touka arrives at her side, and questions her motives. Iroha declares Ui is her sister and a precious friend to Touka and Nemu, and as Iroha reaches for Ui, the Embryo Eve attacks and Lil&#039; Kyubey intervenes and blocks the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu experience a flood of memories, recalling the original events. She remembers seeing Iroha with Kyubey in a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, learning about Magical Girls, and devising a plan with Ui and Nemu to usurp Kyubey&#039;s powers to create an automatic purification system and save all Magical Girls. Their plan failed when Ui&#039;s &amp;quot;harvest&amp;quot; ability went haywire upon her transformation, forcing Nemu to sever Ui&#039;s soul from her body and store it within the de-powered, small Kyubey to prevent her from becoming a Witch. This act erased Ui from the world&#039;s memory, as well as any traces of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Regaining their memories, Touka uses her stored energy to destabilize the Embryo Eve and Nemu uses her stories to restrain it. Iroha shatters Eve&#039;s central gem, and the small Kyubey releases Ui&#039;s soul. Ui awakens and reassures Touka and Nemu that she does not blame them for their shared decision. The Embryo Eve, now soulless, begins to decay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined Magical Girl forces, including Mami, Kyoko, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura, continue their battle against Walpurgisnacht in Chuo Ward. Despite their numbers, the Witch proves immensely powerful and resilient.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102304 mikage desire.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, a massive explosion of light and energy erupts from the location of the decaying Embryo Eve. The Eve has transformed into a new, stable form, and Touka deduces that Alina, who had previously shrunk the anti-Kyubey forcefield to contain the city&#039;s energy, has now wrapped that forcefield tightly around Eve. This action stabilized Eve&#039;s energy and prevented its decay, allowing Alina to control it as a tool for her art. Alina appears, now fused with an Uwasa in a manner similar to [[Holy Mami]], and declares her intent to use Eve to create her ultimate masterpiece, disregarding the goal of Magical Girl liberation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, as this is taking place, [[Mikage Yakumo]], Mitama&#039;s younger sister, is approached by Kyubey when the Barrier disappears. After he explains Mitama&#039;s wish to her, Mikage makes a wish of her own to undo the effects of Mitama&#039;s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Chapter 2: Smiles and Fireworks]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Holy Alina]] asserts that humanity subconsciously desires destruction and that she will use the Embryo Eve to fulfill this wish as her ultimate artwork. Kanagi confronts her own past desire to destroy the city due to its history of conflict but ultimately rejects Alina&#039;s path as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 nemu uwasa.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu, as the creator of Alina&#039;s Uwasa, takes responsibility. She uses the last of her life force to summon every Uwasa recorded in her book to attack Alina directly. The attack defeats Alina, making her disappear, but Nemu collapses, severely weakened and unable to move her legs, so White Feathers evacuate her to safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 eve user1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Embryo Eve, now uncontrolled, begins to rampage and targets Ui, attempting to reabsorb her. Lil&#039; Kyubey implies a solution: it will take Ui&#039;s place within Eve. Touka realizes that the small Kyubey, which contains Ui&#039;s former soul and Kyubey&#039;s original functions, possesses similar attributes to Eve. It is also incapable of becoming a Witch. Lil&#039; Kyubey merges with the Embryo Eve, causing it to release all orbs of light from its body, lading in different parts of Kamihama. The small Kyubey thus becomes the core of the &amp;quot;Automatic Purification System&amp;quot; that Touka, Ui, and Nemu originally envisioned, preventing Magical Girls from becoming Witches within Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival, the combined forces of Magical Girls, including the various teams from Kamihama and the team from Mitakihara, are on the verge of defeat. Homura and the others exhaust their weapons and energy in a desperate attempt to defeat it. They are exhausted, out of Grief Seeds, many are incapacitated, and despite their injuries and depleted resources, the girls refuse to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Last Magia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Walpurgisnacht prepares a massive attack that seems certain to annihilate them, an unknown, benevolent force envelops the Magical Girls. Iroha hears a mysterious voice and sees white feathers raining down, an experience shared by everyone on the battlefield. They all experience a sudden surge of energy and a feeling of being urged forward. This voice is from the Law of Cycles, who had been watching the timeline but not interfering with it. The feathers rejuvenate the group, lifting their spirits and empowering them to continue fighting; their strength is restored, and even the injured find themselves able to fight again. With morale returned, they rally together for one final, united assault, redirecting Walpurgisnacht to Kaihin Park using a coordinated strategy with their unique magical abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined forces of Magical Girls coordinate their unique magics to combat Walpurgisnacht: &lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Natsuki Utsuho initiate the counterattack by using their Encouragement and Cheering magic to boost the morale and power of all allies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seizing this surge of energy, the team implements a complex strategy to control the battlefield. First, Felicia, Meiyui Chun, and Rika Ayano use their Memory Erasure, Persuasion, and Mind-Altering magic to disorient Walpurgisnacht and force it to change course toward the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** To precisely guide the Witch to the intended battleground, Tsuruno, Riko Chiaki, and Emiri Kisaki then use their Good Luck, Luring, and Charm magic, successfully leading Walpurgisnacht to the beachfront park while evading its attacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Once there, the focus shifts to immobilizing the colossal foe. Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Asuka Tatsuki use their Flute Blossom Resonance and Action Control magic in an attempt to halt Walpurgisnacht&#039;s movement entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When it retaliates, Himika Mao diverts its attacks, creating an opening for Kanagi Izumi, who, with a power boost from Mitama&#039;s Coordination, attacks it directly to stun it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** This creates the crucial opening for a full restraint, and Mami, Kanoko Yayoi, and Kaede use Ribbon Binding, Stitching, and Plant magic to ensnare the Witch, which Rena amplified by using her Transformation magic to transform into Kaede and double the restraining power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Walpurgisnacht finally immobilized, Nanaka organizes their forces while Hazuki Yusa and Akira Shinobu identify its weak point with their magic, a gear connected to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire group then launch a coordinated, all-out assault, with offensive magics like Hinano Miyako&#039;s Chemical Explosions leading the charge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout the final attack, Kokoro Awane, Ayame Mikuri, and Konoha Shizumi provide vital defense with their Wall Creation, Safeguarding, and Fog Generation magic, protecting the assault team and ensuring their united strike could land.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Realizing their combined assault was not enough to deliver a final blow, the Magical Girls regroup and to ensure they could act as one perfect unit, Reira Ibuki uses her Purifying Flame to heal their wounds and replenish their energy, while Mito Aino uses her Heart-Linking magic to synchronize their hearts and minds, allowing their resolve to become perfectly aligned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With their spirits united, they form a new strategy and Konomi Haruna uses her magic to force their Fighting Spirit to Bloom, amplifying their collective potential, while Kako Natsume uses her Event Reproduction magic to reinforce the gathered energy, and Ren Isuzu enacts her Nirvana magic to ensure the attack would bring permanent rest to the Witch if successful.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The plan to create a final weapon then commences. Ui uses her Harvest magic to gather the hope and magical energy from every single Magical Girl on the battlefield. She passes this immense energy to Touka, who used her Conversion magic to condense it all into a single, concentrated mass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* This mass of collective hope is then entrusted to Yachiyo, whose unique magic of Inheritance allows her to embody and control the power. She and Iroha shape this energy into a gigantic, radiant arrow aimed at the weak point that had been identified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they prepared to fire, Walpurgisnacht launches an attack to free itself from their binds. In that moment, Homura activates her Time-Stop, and touches Iroha, allowing her to move within the suspended time and take aim unimpeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the path clear, Iroha releases the arrow and strikes the central gear with overwhelming force. As time resumed, the arrow consumed Walpurgisnacht in a brilliant explosion, finally ending the calamity and clearing the sky over Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102005 magicalgirl3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura reflects that she has finally surpassed this battle after countless timelines, and Madoka expresses relief that no more people will suffer from Walpurgisnacht. The girls in Kamihama also celebrate their hard-earned victory, despite the fact that many are injured and exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Epilogue==&lt;br /&gt;
* Some days after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, Iroha and Ui see their parents off at the airport as they leave for their overseas assignment. Iroha and Ui then return to Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama City, where Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana welcome them back. Mifuyu is also present, as Iroha was able to use her magic to repair Mifuyu&#039;s damaged Soul Gem, allowing her to recover. Later that day, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Kanagi, and Mitama visit Mikazuki Villa as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, [[Ultimate Madoka]], a being who identifies as a record-keeper of all universes reflects on the new timeline centered on Kamihama. She states she intervened one last time by sending a &amp;quot;rain of feathers&amp;quot; to empower the Magical Girls but will now only observe, fearing further direct interference could damage this fragile new reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu organize a meeting for all Magical Girls involved in the recent conflict to discuss the actions of the Wings of the Magius and the future fate of all Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu visit the Eternal Sakura. The Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura congratulates them on finally being together as friends and Nemu, who now uses a wheelchair, accepts her condition as a consequence of her past actions. Iroha briefly wonders about the whereabouts of the small Kyubey that once accompanied her, and then meet Lil&#039; Kyubey in the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After some days, Homura reflects on their victory. Despite saving Madoka and defeating Walpurgisnacht, she feels uncertain. The fundamental curse of Magical Girls becoming Witches remains, and she questions if this timeline is truly the best outcome. At school, Mami informs the group about recent disappearances and people getting lost, which they attribute to a new Witch. They devise a plan to track it by mapping the incidents. Kyoko arrives from Kazamino, also hunting the same Witch, and a tense alliance forms.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: The Place We Finally Reached]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group splits into teams to search the area Mami identified. Madoka notices Homura&#039;s preoccupation and reassures her. The teams locate the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and coordinate their attack. During the battle, Homura fears for her friends&#039; safety, but they work together effectively. Kyoko and Sayaka create an opening for Mami and Madoka to deliver the final blow, while Homura evacuates the Witch-Kissed civilians.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Kyoko gives the Grief Seed to Mami and Sayaka declares she has no regrets about becoming a Magical Girl, valuing the power to protect and the friends she has made. This prompts Mami to reconcile with Kyoko, asking to be true friends who help each other when needed again, to which Kyoko agrees. Madoka then states she is also glad she became a Magical Girl, expressing faith in the future because of her friends. This resolve causes Homura to weep with joy, finally believing this timeline, where they face their fate together, could be the one she sought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group, including Kyoko, shares a meal at a pancake restaurant. They discuss an upcoming meeting in Kamihama to address the Magius&#039; actions. While Kyoko opts not to attend, the others plan to update her later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 04 00 0042 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One Saturday, Mami volunteers to help clean the damage done by the Magius incident and Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura go along as well. During it, a Witch attacks and a Magical Girl they were helping unleashes a Doppel. They defeat the Witch and the girl falls unconscious, so Mami takes her to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After stabilizing her, Mami asks Mitama to help her face her own Doppel and she guides Mami to look within. Mami meets her Doppel and it tries to convince her to forget the past, yet Mami refuses and proclaims that she accepts the Doppel as part of herself. Mami then wakes up, thanking everyone and says they will build the future together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cherry Blossom Dreams===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, the Eternal Sakura completed her duties as an Uwasa when her tree came into full bloom. Her Rumor was rewritten and she was connected to Touka&#039;s server, reborn as an Uwasa with ample knowledge who would later be named Sakurako. Around this time, Yachiyo received a message asking what should be done about the six ringleaders of the Magius—Touka Satomi, Nemu Hiiragi, Mifuyu Azusa, Mitama Yakumo, Tsukuyo Amane, and Tsukasa Amane. Nemu proposed rewriting the Eternal Sakura to serve as an impartial judge. They designed three trials: the first to analyze crimes and calculate a verdict, the second to survey all Magical Girls, and the third to reach a final decision based on responses. Punishments ranged from monitoring to destruction of the Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the first trial, Sakurako sentenced Touka and Nemu to the maximum penalty. Mifuyu received power revocation, reduced from maximum due to testimony that she helped destroy Fendt Hope. Mitama received conditional power revocation, allowed to transform only for Coordinator work. The Amane sisters received power restriction. After the trial, Touka and Nemu remained calm, thanking everyone. Yachiyo noted they had intentionally omitted their ages from consideration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Nemu and Sakurako wait at a train station with others. Nearby girls whisper about Nemu, recognizing her as one of the Magius and questioning why she faces no punishment. Ui argues with Iroha about using the Stardust Time Viewer, while Touka pushes through the crowd, disheveled from navigating the train alone. The three girls reunite, each feeling it is a dream. Touka sends Ui a photo of the map they created together in the hospital. The group travels to the mall, where Ui finally visits the croquette shop she always wanted to try, and they share plates to taste each other&#039;s orders. From there, they take a rickshaw to Mizuna Shrine, where they briefly encounter Tsukuyo and Tsukasa, who quickly hurry away. The group buys prayer plaques, though most hesitate at the cost until a shrine attendant suggests writing prayers on the back of their fortunes instead. Iroha wishes for all Magical Girls to get along, while Touka and Nemu write their own wishes. They argue over where to go next—Touka wants a lookout point in Hokuyo Ward, but Ui resists rushing. Sakurako suggests they also face reality, so they head to Central Ward, still scarred from Walpurgisnacht and Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui admits she used the library as an excuse to bring them here, hoping the Stardust Time Viewer would show them a hopeful future. Nemu summons the Rumor, transporting them to a star-filled space. The Viewer shows Iroha&#039;s future: a world where the Doppel system has expanded globally and all Magical Girls coexist peacefully. Iroha feels embarrassed, but Sakurako assures her the wish is beautiful. When Ui asks to see her own future, the Viewer has nothing to show. Ui realizes this means Touka and Nemu are absent from Iroha&#039;s future and accuses them of planning to die. The vision fades, returning them to the rubble of Central Ward. Touka and Nemu admit they believe they should die for their crimes, pointing to the destruction around them, the Feathers they manipulated, and the innocent people hurt. Sakurako confirms she knew this all along. Ui slaps them both, demanding they consider how she feels. Nemu explains they wanted to do what they could while they still had time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second trial begins. No surveys have arrived. Sakurako agrees to wait one hour. Yachiyo and others leave to retrieve them. Mifuyu confronts Touka and Nemu, asking if they sabotaged the surveys. They admit they did, altering the date so the surveys would not arrive in time. They wanted to be judged and sentenced to death to spare Ui from the hatred directed at them. Ui refuses to accept this. She and Iroha transform to protect them. The hour ends and Sakurako moves to deliver punishment. Iroha and Ui hold her back as Mifuyu and Mitama join the defense. The Amane sisters attack Sakurako with their flutes, accepting heavier sentences. Iroha realizes they can use photos of the surveys as evidence. Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s phones begin chiming with images from Yachiyo and the others. Iroha begs Sakurako to accept the evidence. Sakurako confirms the surveys are real and delays the trial, requiring them to arrive by day&#039;s end. The surveys show Magical Girls believe Touka and Nemu should be punished, but not killed. Some suggest atonement, rehabilitation, or mentorship. Reading the responses, Touka and Nemu weep, but Ui weeps with joy. Based on the surveys, sentences are reduced. Touka and Nemu receive monitoring with transformation-prevention bracelets, while Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s sentences are reduced to monitoring. The Amane sisters are found not guilty and Feathers who revealed themselves have their cases dismissed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the group gathers. Touka and Nemu wear their bracelets. Sakurako serves drinks. Mifuyu asks about tutoring Touka in exchange for help with pharmacy school. Nemu will rely on Sakurako for mobility on difficult days. Tsuruno suggests welcoming them as the Brains of Kamihama. In the kitchen, Sakurako hugs Touka and Nemu, then Iroha and Ui. She tells them she loves them. The days she always dreamed of have arrived. The real spring can finally begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany===&lt;br /&gt;
* Walpurgisnacht&#039;s attack on Kamihama City caused massive damage to Chuo Ward, which the public believes was a natural disaster. Only Magical Girls know the truth and privately, Mitama reflects that the victory gave her hope, but she wonders if the destruction she once wished for can be defied.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0008 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after Walpurgisnacht, Mitama realizes Doyle has not visited her shop and the last saw him the day before Walpurgisnacht. She assumes the storm made him too scared to go out, so she decides to close her shop and search for him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama looks around the vacant land near her shop and a girl named Ritsumi offers to help. Ritsumi’s cat Arthur ran away before, so she knows where cats hide. They search but find nothing and Ritsumi says Arthur now lives with her grandpa. Mitama realizes Ritsumi is the daughter of the neighbor who owns Arthur and Mitama had mistaken Arthur for Doyle and that Ritsumi has never actually seen Doyle. They end the day without clues and Mitama sends a message to the Magical Girls’ group chat asking if anyone has seen a white tabby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama knocks on the neighbor’s door and Ritsumi’s mother answers. She explains that Arthur was sent away two weeks ago to Ritsumi’s grandpa. Mitama realizes that no one knows where Doyle came from. Ritsumi’s mother promises to keep an eye out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana, Asuka, and others from Mizuna Girls’ Academy saw Mitama’s group chat post and they arrive to help. More volunteers soon arrive: Kaede, Kako, Rena, Konoha’s team, and others. They split up to cover Shinsei Ward and Mitama notes that no one else has ever seen Doyle. Konoha says she never saw a cat at Mitama’s shop. Rena also asks for a photo, but Mitama has none.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds Ritsumi near the bus stop and they search door to door. No one in the neighborhood has seen a white tabby kitten either. Ritsumi says she has read all “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” books and that her favorite is “Invisible Epiphany,” about a detective searching for a lost child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko meets Mitama alone. Momoko says she never saw Doyle and neither did Tsukasa or the other girls. Mitama remembers talking to Doyle in front of them, but they saw no cat ither. Momoko suggests a Rumor is involved, as all Rumors disappeared after the fight with the Magius, except the Eternal Sakura. Coincidentally, Doyle disappeared at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls Nemu, who is still in the hospital and Nemu explains that Doyle was part of the Rumor of the Cat Detective. The Rumor possesses detective novel lovers, detects signs of a case, gets the detective involved, and guarantees a solution. Nemu explains she erased almost all Rumors, including this one. Mitama thinks Doyle disappeared because the Rumor was destroyed and she had solved four cases with Doyle’s help, yet the fifth never began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama re-reads her case files and each one has an opening paragraph she does not remember writing. The first case file hints at Hanna Sarasa. The second hints at Tsukasa. The third and fourth also name the culprits. Mitama realizes Doyle left those hints, and Nemu says the Rumor did not cause incidents, only detected them, so those incidents would have happened anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0009 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Kamihama slowly returns to order. Mitama notes that she cannot rely on Doyle anymore and she hopes she does not get any new cases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui and the Eternal Sakura visit Mitama to deliver a lampshade from Yachiyo. Ui says a girl from her school has gone missing and Mitama is shocked to learn the girl is Ritsumi, who did not come home after school yesterday and the police are investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama goes to the bus stop near her shop and finds Ritsumi’s mother. The mother says Ritsumi likely went to Hokuyo Ward to see her grandpa and Arthur. Ritsumi’s parents are separated and her father lives with his parents in Hokuyo Ward. The mother believes Ritsumi wanted to visit them, but the bus route to Hokuyo was suspended after the disaster but has resumed, bypassing Chuo Ward. Soon, Himika calls Mitama. Himika saw a girl matching Ritsumi’s description waiting at the Shinsei Ward bus stop yesterday, reading a book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi arrive and Momoko explains she has been investigating at school. Ritsumi transferred to Kamihama University Affiliated School six months ago after her parents separated and she moved into the building next to Mitama’s shop. Momoko explains Arthur went to live with her father in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo Ward. Mitama realizes the conflicting information: Arthur was first in Chuo Ward, then evacuated to the grandpa’s house in Hokuyo after the disaster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Satomi Medical Center, Nemu discusses the case with Eternal Sakura. Nemu recalls the hidden hints in Mitama’s case files. The last words of each hint spell “Lost Through Time Eternal,” which is the title of volume 12 of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” In that story, a girl runs away to her old home. Nemu deduces that Ritsumi went to her old apartment in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo. She likely got off at the nearest bus stop and walked into the restricted zone, then she had an accident.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Momoko, and Kanagi search the area near the old apartment and they hear a voice. Ritsumi had fallen into an old underground passage and sprained her ankle. She lost track of time and had no phone. Mitama explains she remembered the Doyle book and Ritsumi admits she was copying the girl in the story as she wanted to see the area where she grew up. The three quickly rescue her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ritsumi is taken to a hospital and also discharged quickly. Her parents agree to let her visit both of them and Arthur whenever she likes. Mitama reflects that Doyle gave her confidence and the city she cursed is still standing, so she dares to believe in hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Momoko finally holds the Coordinator Thank-You Party that was postponed earlier and Rena and Kaede thank Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui reads &amp;quot;The Happy Prince&amp;quot; and reflects on her uncertain purpose as a Magical Girl. While walking, she stops Kyubey from contracting a girl outside Kamihama, explaining she cannot let anyone else suffer the fate of becoming a Witch. When Kyubey asks what he should do instead, she has no answer. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia tells Ui she is overthinking things and should focus on her upcoming combat test. Iroha and Yachiyo serve dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno gives Ui an enthusiastic pep talk for her live combat test. To remain in Kamihama, Ui must detect and eliminate a Witch alone—the same test Yachiyo gave Iroha when she first arrived. Yachiyo admits the test may be unfair and offers to let Ui choose a partner. With Iroha busy helping Kanagi, Ui chooses Momoko. They depart together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui struggles to sense the Witch&#039;s magic, so they search Mizuna Ward where young women gather. They encounter a Familiar and follow it to a Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After defeating it, Felicia suddenly appears, attacks them, and runs away. Tsuruno gives chase and tackles her. Felicia&#039;s oblivion magic has erased their memory of the Familiar&#039;s pattern, so they cannot track the Witch. Momoko requests a pause, but Yachiyo refuses, stating unexpected events happen in real combat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia admits she interfered because she is jealous that Ui receives everyone&#039;s attention while she struggled alone as a mercenary. Yachiyo explains that Felicia&#039;s past does not justify making others unhappy. Meanwhile, Ui cheers up after eating crepes with Momoko and resolves to continue. As sunset approaches, they search Sakae Ward but find nothing. Yachiyo offers to bring a Familiar for them to retrack, but it disappears before they arrive. Ui suggests checking Hokuyo Ward on a hunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Hokuyo Ward, Ui senses a different Witch&#039;s magical reaction. They follow Witch-kissed people up a mountain toward a labyrinth. At Yachiyo&#039;s house, the others realize Ui failed the test since Yachiyo had to eliminate the original Witch herself, though Yachiyo will allow a retake. They notice Felicia smiling and suspect she interfered again. Rena confesses she helped Felicia erase the hint because she understood Felicia&#039;s jealousy. Tsuruno says the only person who deserves an apology is Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the mountain, Ui and Momoko enter the Witch&#039;s barrier against Momoko&#039;s better judgment. They fight through Familiars but become trapped and cannot escape. The Witch overwhelms them. Yachiyo and the others arrive and join the fight, but Familiars overwhelm them too. Iroha arrives at the last moment to defend Ui. Ui proposes using her ability to harvest impurities, purifying everyone&#039;s Soul Gems so they can fight at full strength. She will temporarily become a Witch, but the Doppel system will contain it. She absorbs the impurities, and the others destroy the Witch while Ui struggles with the darkness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui unleashes her Doppel and meets her Doppel self, who accuses her of wanting punishment and being jealous of others while trapped in the hospital. Ui nearly agrees to let the Doppel consume her but refuses, recognizing it as the easy way out. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words about taking responsibility and confronting the situation honestly. She accepts her wrongs and her true feelings, realizing this difficult path will bring true happiness. The Doppel admits she is right. Iroha wakes Ui at Mitama&#039;s clinic, where she has been unconscious for some time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama checks on Ui after her first Doppel release. Felicia apologizes for her interference and says she thinks Ui is cool. Rena also apologizes for helping Felicia. Ui accepts their apologies and compliments them both, asking Felicia to teach her things. Rena and Felicia feel terrible for how they treated someone so kind. Later that evening at Yachiyo&#039;s house, everyone celebrates Ui passing her test—though she did not defeat the assigned Witch, she tracked a Witch, stayed calm, used her intelligence, and performed better than expected. Ui tells Iroha she now knows what she wants to do as a Magical Girl. Iroha decides to work with other Kamihama Magical Girls to find a way to free them all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui and Iroha encounter Kyubey outside Kamihama attempting another contract and stop him. Kyubey asks what their goal is. They explain they plan to fight and find a way to coexist with Kyubey—if they can expand Kamihama&#039;s miracle globally, Magical Girls can live happily while providing the energy Kyubey needs. Kyubey welcomes the idea if it avoids conflict but warns that Magical Girls worldwide are not as unified as those in Kamihama. Ui wonders how much happiness she can give to the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Magia Clash!===&lt;br /&gt;
* A Mirror copy of Shizuku opens a portal and steps through into a city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Magia Clash!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama organizes a magical girl team competition inside the Mirrors labyrinth. Kaede and Iroha greet Nanoha, hoping to talk with her, but Kaede is called away when her match begins. Iroha stays behind and watches with Nanoha instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanoha Takamachi#Side Story|Nanoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hayate, Nanoha, and Fate mistake a Mirror copy&#039;s portal for the warp gate to their tournament and are pulled through before Lindy can stop them. Mitama registers the confused but excited trio for the &amp;quot;First Ultimate Magical Girls Team Battle Mirrors Cup,&amp;quot; and they head to the Standby Zone after learning about the Mirror barrier. Meanwhile, Rena, Momoko, and Kaede struggle against unusually strong Familiars, and when Rena twists her ankle, the Nanoha trio steps in to save them. The groups introduce themselves, with the trio explaining they are from Uminary City while concealing their connection to the Administrative Bureau, and Rena warns them about dangerous Mirror copies that lurk deeper in the barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they observe Team Momoko&#039;s match, Nanoha comments on the fighting styles she sees and notes the variety of magic on display. She explains she was taught magic from an early age and is surprised to learn Iroha and the others gained their powers by making wishes to Kyubey. Iroha describes Kyubey as a white stuffed animal, which reminds Nanoha of her own first teacher, Yuuno. Nanoha shares that she discovered magic in third grade when she heard Yuuno calling for help, and since then she has honed her abilities alongside Fate and Hayate to protect others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks about Nanoha&#039;s device, Raising Heart, and how it can transform. Nanoha explains the device taught her magic step by step and once posed an important question to her: what is the most important thing in a fight? Iroha guesses it is the will to win, but before Nanoha can reveal the true answer, Fate and Hayate return from exploring. Fate requests a sparring match, and Iroha asks to watch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo joins Iroha to observe the fight between Nanoha and Fate. The two exchange blows at maximum speed, with Fate using close-range attacks while Nanoha fights from a distance. The match ends in a tie after a final, explosive clash. Before leaving for a break, Nanoha turns to Iroha and reveals the true answer to Raising Heart&#039;s question: wisdom and tactics. Iroha agrees, especially after witnessing their battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Natsuki is fretting over a lost wallet at the Promise Altar, and Ria offers to help her search since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway. Natsuki apologizes for the trouble, but Ria insists she doesn&#039;t mind and even offers to lend her money. Natsuki refuses the loan but admits she needs money for train fare home. She reluctantly agrees to borrow just enough for the trip and promises to pay Ria back later. Ria asks if Natsuki is sure she doesn&#039;t want to file a report, but Natsuki believes the wallet is simply lost rather than stolen and wants to keep searching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hayate Yagami#Side Story|Hayate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria suggests they retrace Natsuki&#039;s steps and asks where she&#039;s been. Natsuki lists the Promise Altar, the station, the shopping district, and an izakaya where she ate with friends. Ria questions why she went to an izakaya alone, and Natsuki clarifies she was with coworkers. Ria finds it odd that Natsuki was drinking with coworkers and then came to the shrine alone afterwards. Natsuki admits it&#039;s a long story involving a former coworker&#039;s engagement announcement that left her feeling restless. She came to the shrine to think but realized she didn&#039;t have enough money to get home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they search, they run into Masara and Kokoro. Masara bluntly tells Natsuki she probably won&#039;t find it and suggests getting a new student ID. Kokoro gently scolds her for being insensitive and offers to help search. Ria mentions they&#039;ve already looked around the shrine, so Kokoro suggests they expand the search area.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group heads to the shopping district, where they encounter Kanoko. She offers to help search as well, and they all continue looking together. Eventually, Ria asks Natsuki to retrace her exact steps from when she left the izakaya. Natsuki recalls walking to the station, realizing she didn&#039;t want to go home yet, and coming to the shrine. Ria points out that she would have needed her wallet to pay the izakaya bill, so she definitely had it after leaving. Natsuki confirms this and remembers using her train pass at the station before changing her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria concludes the wallet must be somewhere between the station turnstiles and the shrine, but they&#039;ve already searched that route thoroughly. Kanoko suggests Natsuki might have dropped it somewhere else without realizing, like when she pulled out her phone. Natsuki&#039;s eyes light up, and she admits she did take out her phone at the station to check something. She just can&#039;t remember what she did with her wallet after that. Ria proposes they split up to cover more ground, and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Natsuki returns home defeated and exhausted. Her father calls out to her, and when she enters the living room, she finds her wallet sitting on the table. Her mother found it in the shopping district and a kind stranger turned it in. Natsuki&#039;s relief quickly turns to panic when she remembers she borrowed money from Ria, and now she has no way to contact her. She considers calling Kokoro but realizes she doesn&#039;t have her number either. She decides to go back to the Promise Altar the next day to hopefully find Ria there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Natsuki returns to the Promise Altar and is relieved to spot Ria. She excitedly explains that her wallet was found and immediately tries to repay the loan. Ria accepts the money but notices Natsuki seems troubled about something else. Natsuki admits she&#039;s been thinking about her former coworker&#039;s engagement and how she handled the situation. Ria offers to listen if Natsuki wants to talk, but Natsuki says she&#039;d rather not burden her further. Ria insists it&#039;s no trouble since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki explains that her former coworker Yukari got engaged and announced it at a gathering. Natsuki congratulated her happily, but another coworker named Ootori made some passive-aggressive comments about how Yukari managed to find someone before her. Later, Ootori apologized to Natsuki for her behavior, but Natsuki feels she should have defended Yukari in the moment. She feels guilty for not speaking up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria asks why she feels responsible for defending Yukari. Natsuki admits it&#039;s because Yukari was always kind to her when she first started the job, and she feels she failed to repay that kindness. Ria points out that Natsuki did congratulate Yukari sincerely, and that was probably what mattered most to her in that moment. Natsuki realizes Ria is right and thanks her for the perspective.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just then, Kanagi arrives, and Ria prepares to leave. Before going, she offers Natsuki her contact information so she can reach out if she ever needs to talk again. Natsuki gratefully accepts, and the two part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During a break in the Mirrors tournament, Fate, Nanoha, and Hayate encounter a copy of Fate that proves too powerful for them to handle alone. Felicia, Kako, and Ayame appear to help, and together they defeat the copy. When Felicia asks what they&#039;re doing there, Fate admits they got lost. The Kamihama girls learn the trio is from out of town and younger than them, but they quickly become friends and head back to the standby zone together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Fate T. Harlaown#Side Story|Fate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group somehow gets roped into a dodgeball game, with teams forming spontaneously among the tournament participants. Fate proves to be exceptionally athletic, leading her team through multiple rounds against increasingly competitive opponents. After defeating Momoko&#039;s team, they face a martial arts team featuring Akira, Meiyui, and Asuka, which Fate also wins. Tsuruno, refusing to let age be a barrier, recruits Masara and Natsuki for a final match against Fate&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match comes down to a intense showdown between Fate and Tsuruno, both catching and returning each other&#039;s throws with increasing speed and power. Fate ultimately outmaneuvers Tsuruno by throwing to Nanoha and leaping into the air for the winning strike. Everyone celebrates the friendly tournament and the new friendships formed across different cities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the tournament progresses, Team Nanoha easily advances through early rounds with Fate&#039;s incredible speed, though Momoko notices Hayate and Nanoha have yet to reveal their full power. Elsewhere, Mitama learns that Momoko announced her team would break up if they lost not because Kaede is useless but to show their conviction, though both Kaede and Rena had doubts. The tournament continues until four teams remain, with Team Momoko advancing to the finals through clever strategy and Team Nanoha defeating Team Masara to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match begins with Fate and Rena clashing in a battle of speed that seemingly knocks both out, leaving Nanoha and Hayate to face Momoko and Kaede. Hayate fuses with Reinforce Zwei and unleashes Ragnarok to take out Kaede, then joins Nanoha against Momoko, who withstands Nanoha&#039;s Starlight Breaker as both girls stand exhausted. Before a winner can be decided, Lindy contacts Nanoha with an emergency: a fugitive illegally opened a rift between worlds, and the Mirror copy of Shizuku appears nearby, having used her powers to connect the Mirror labyrinth to Uminary City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The copy stole the tournament&#039;s grand prize, a special orb that exponentially increases magical power, and the girls call off the match to track her down. Team Nanoha and Team Momoko catch the copy, but after they defeat her, copies of Hayate, Fate, and Nanoha appear and swallow the broken orb pieces, gaining immense power. All the Magical Girls unite to take down the powered-up copies, and through combined efforts they finally delete the magical signatures. With the tunnel between worlds about to collapse, Mitama declares both teams winners, and the girls exchange heartfelt goodbyes before the Nanoha trio returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day in Kamihama, Kaede realizes her texts to Hayate no longer go through, Momoko cannot reach Nanoha or Fate, and Rena cannot find Uminary City on any map. Mitama and Shizuku conclude the girls must have come from a different world entirely, since they needed a space tunnel to travel rather than a simple train ride. Though Kaede is sad they may never meet again, Rena is grateful for the friendship they formed, and the three resolve to work hard for a future rematch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tart / Darc Magica===&lt;br /&gt;
* Through Minou&#039;s spell from 15th-century France, Ui is pulled into the past, with her phone acting as her Soul Gem and Blank Prophecy, with the power to restore the past&#039;s real history.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rebel of a Dawnless Land]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning from the past, Ui finds herself in an antique store, still surrounded by magic bubbles though no memory of what occured. On the floor are the two candles and the old book. She feels they are important but cannot remember why, so she puts them on store shelves before falling asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui wakes up at Mikazuki Villa. Her phone rings with a text of Nemu asking if she knows any charms, as Mitama has been really into them lately. Ui says she knows a charm for good dreams requiring red and blue candles. Nemu asks where she heard about it and Ui isn&#039;t sure but says it was in 15th-century France. Nemu is fascinated and promises to research it. Later, Ui scrolls through her phone and finds a photo she doesn&#039;t recognize with girls she doesn&#039;t know. She begins crying without understanding why and Iroha finds her and hugs her tightly. Suddenly Ui remembers Darc&#039;s final words. She turns to her sister and tells her, &amp;quot;Let&#039;s have a wonderful future together.&amp;quot; Iroha agrees. Ui calms down and heads home to prepare for a slumber party with Nemu and Touka. Iroha, running errands, decides to stop by Mitama&#039;s place afterward. Mitama greets her warmly, mentioning she just learned an interesting little charm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That day, Iroha visits Mitama, who gives her and Yachiyo antique candles for a sweet dream spell. That night, they light the candles and drift off to sleep together, where they&#039;re pulled into the nightmare of Jeanne d&#039;Arc in April 29th, 1429.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Maiden of Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next morning, Yachiyo reveals she had the same dream. They call Mitama, who is surprised they had nightmares instead of sweet dreams. They decide to try the candles again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Kamihama plunged into darkness and all non-Magical Girls vanished. Their Soul Gems have consumed magic in the real world despite no injuries. Realizing the dream affects reality, they decide to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a lot of fighting, they awaken and prepare for the final battle. In this journey they discover that they&#039;d been traveling to Darc&#039;s dream, and if Darc despairs completely, she will turn into a Witch and trigger a catastrophe affecting the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Felicia and Sana gone and Kamihama empty. Breaking into Mitama&#039;s shop, they find a grimoire revealing the candles were made with Darc&#039;s hair, creating a connection to her dream. They return with the book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They finally awaken at Mikazuki Villa to sunshine and normalcy. Felicia demands steak for dinner. Consulting a history book, they read that on May 7th, 1429, Jeanne d&#039;Arc fought at Tourelles after waking from a dream. The battle was fierce but Orléans was liberated. Iroha notices a portrait in the book showing them in their Magical Girl outfits standing beside Jeanne d&#039;Arc.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at Mitama&#039;s shop, Yachiyo recounts everything. Mitama mentions the spell became widespread in France during Jeanne d&#039;Arc&#039;s era. Iroha realizes Melissa must have spread it after learning it from them in the dream. The use of red and blue candles was too specific to be coincidence. Iroha&#039;s head spins trying to figure out where the spell originated. Yachiyo notes the grimoire never mentioned the candle setup, so the spell just circled around and around. They will never know for certain whether they changed history or were always part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* During their slumber party, Ui, Touka, and Nemu encounter a massive witch, [[Crépuscule de La Reine]]. Touka and Nemu vanish, leaving Ui and Sakurako to face it alone. The witch is unaffected by their attacks and disappears, taking Ui with it into 15th-century France once more, this time in the realm of Purgatory which Minou created. With Pernelle&#039;s help, Ui is soon able to also summon Iroha and Yachiyo there as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;endofalegendthelimitsoflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - End of a Legend, the Limits of Light]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Lil&#039; Kyubey and Ui&#039;s phone as the Blank Prophecy are pulled as &amp;quot;If Factors&amp;quot; into the world of Holy Maiden Academy, which Minou created and maintained for six hundred years after being given a Philosopher&#039;s Stone after Isabeau&#039;s death. However, after her plans are thwarted by the &amp;quot;what if&amp;quot; version of Melissa, he returns and wakes in the real world, where Iroha and Ui assure him it was just a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;counc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Masked Student Council Strikes Back]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One weekend, Rui ropes Seira into attending Kamiket, a convention for sharing and selling fan-made media in Kamihama. The two became close friends after discovering they are both Magical Girls, and because Seira is the only one who knows about Rui&#039;s embarrassing secret: a heavy case of chuuni-byo. Rui agreed to bring Seira on the condition that only the two of them would go, ensuring nobody else discovered her secret.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the day of the convention, Rui cannot contain her excitement and slips into character, declaring the convention her sanctuary and the catalog guidebook as Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Her main objective is to purchase the newest installment of her favorite indie game series and meet its creator, MacQueen. On the way to the booth, she accidentally bumps into a stranger who seems irritated about someone not being at the convention yet. When she arrives, the booth attendants inform her that someone has been using counterfeit money, and worse, MacQueen himself is missing. Rui&#039;s imagination immediately conjures a grand conspiracy, but the criminal is soon caught and MacQueen calls to say he overslept. Relieved, Rui takes a photo with the booth girls, but as the picture is taken, chills run down her spine as she senses someone glaring at her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rui dismisses it as her imagination and continues exploring with Seira. Remembering the booth numbers hit by counterfeit money, she realizes they spell the chemical formula for Ricin, a lethal poison. Her imagination ignites again, convincing her that the real attack will come through poisoned food from outside vendors. She rushes them outside to stop the attack, but everyone seems fine, and her Magical Girl ability, which lets her see how close someone is to death, reveals nobody is in danger. Ashamed, she realizes her imagination finally got the best of her and apologizes to Seira. They decide to get lunch, and Rui opens her laptop to install her new game. The screen is black, and in the reflection she sees her own face. Her magic reveals she herself is now close to death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Remembering the chills from earlier, Rui checks the photo and finds the man from earlier glaring at her in the background. She rushes back to the booth to warn the girls, who recognize the man as Miranda, a popular content creator. As they discuss this, MacQueen finally arrives, and Rui sees he is the closest to death&#039;s door, with Miranda also marked. She confronts Miranda, who confesses he intended to kill MacQueen over an alternate ending in the latest game that suggested his favorite sub-heroine may have had a former lover. He pulls out a gun he secretly printed with a smuggled 3D printer. Just as he is about to shoot, Rui shows him a cutscene on her laptop, which is the second part of the alternate ending, unlocked only after clearing the entire game, revealing the sub-heroine fabricated the story to protect the user character. Miranda realizes his mistake and surrenders to security. After the incident, Seira asks if Rui was scared. Rui reveals she always wears chainmail under her clothes and also carried a heavy blunt object for protection, the magically enhanced Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Seira decides to pretend she did not hear that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 11:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura writes in her diary as she and her friends take an air-conditioned express train to the beach for summer vacation. They buy ice cream and enjoy the ride.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Beachside Bonds]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls arrive at their destination, a seaside inn run by Sayaka&#039;s relatives who had a sudden cancellation. Sayaka complains about the heat as they walk to the inn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Sayaka&#039;s aunt shows them to their rooms and warns them not to get lost in the surrounding forest. Outside, two young girls who live at the inn approach Madoka. They ask if she knows someone named Kei, who is looking for someone named Yu. They warn Madoka not to talk to Kei and that she should hold still if Kei enters her room. The girls then leave. Homura suggests Kei might be a cat. They agree to tell the others as Kyoko passes by already in her swimsuit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, the girls play volleyball. Mami spikes the ball hard and hits Homura in the face. They stop the game and Mami frets over Homura. Madoka suggests they rest in the shade while Mami buys something cold. Madoka then suggests they collect pine cones from nearby trees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the forest, a cat appears and leads them deeper into the trees. It guides them to a small shrine, where Homura finds an old notebook. She reads entries from April 20, June 24, August 3, and August 6, all detailing the author&#039;s complicated feelings for someone named Kei. Madoka tells her to put it back without reading further. When they turn around, the cat is gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the beach, Sayaka shares a rumor from the beach house: a girl fell off a nearby cliff years ago and died, and her spirit is reportedly seen rising from the ocean between two and three a.m. Mami shrieks in fear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Kyoko teases Mami about being scared. The conversation turns to ghosts and Kyoko compares them to how normal people might perceive Witches. Madoka feels relieved and tells Sayaka about the twin girls. Sayaka plans to ask them about any pets later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After an Italian dinner, the girls light fireworks on the beach. Kyoko bumps into Hinano Miyako, who doesn&#039;t recognize her but does recognize her Soul Gem ring. Ren Isuzu finds Hinano, followed by Emiri Kisaki and Rika Ayano. The groups combine for fireworks. Emiri admits she used a little magic to help everyone relax, explaining why Kyoko had strange memories of Mami. Kyoko chases Sayaka around the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Heading back to the inn, Sayaka finds her twin cousins lining up stones. They claim the stones protect against Kei entering. They say Kei would hate Sayaka the most because she is nosy, then leave. In her diary, Homura writes that the girls talked until they all fell asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 12&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura&#039;s diary entry describes a dream belonging to someone else. In the dream, the narrator waits for her friend Yusa Yumeno, who arrives with popsicles. The narrator complains that Yusa doesn&#039;t need to come every day, but Yusa insists she can only be her real self around her friend. The narrator believes identity is shaped by others&#039; perceptions. She reveals she may not take college exams due to family obligations and urges Yusa to attend her chosen school, comparing herself to a weed and Yusa to a flower growing in a different direction. The narrator comes home to another hateful letter from classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes in a cold sweat, unable to move. The room smells strongly of seaweed. She sees a pitch-black human shadow sitting between Mami and Sayaka&#039;s futons. It examines their faces, grumbling &amp;quot;wrong, wrong, all wrong.&amp;quot; As it moves toward Madoka, Homura struggles to move. The shadow stops and stares at her, asking &amp;quot;You can see me?&amp;quot; Homura screams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others wake. Sayaka notices the strange smell. Kyoko goes back to sleep. Mami offers water and Homura asks if someone entered the room. They saw no one. Sayaka apologizes for the scary stories. Mami suggests thinking about tomorrow&#039;s fun. Madoka offers to hold Homura&#039;s hand, which she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes early, the ocean scent still strong. She finds the twin girls outside. They ask if she met Kei. Homura asks what Kei is. The girls explain Kei looks like a human made of shadow without facial features, smells of the sea, and emerges from the ocean at night to look for her friend Yu. They repeat that she should do nothing and never talk to her. They notice their protective stones scattered and go to reline them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura suspects this might be a Rumor. She returns to the forest shrine and finds the notebook on the shrine&#039;s lattice door, despite having placed it underneath. She reads entries from May 2, May 20, June 12, and June 26, all detailing the author Yu&#039;s complicated, obsessive feelings for Kei. She replaces the notebook, feeling guilty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Homura recalls more diary entries: July 2 describes Yu placing hands on Kei&#039;s neck as if to strangle her; July 5 compares Kei&#039;s neck to a lizard she killed; July 15 describes Kei now finding Yu after school; July 20 states they should never have met and that both wear bandages to hide bruises on their necks. Madoka points out a small bruise on Homura&#039;s neck.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls begin walking to an aquarium along the coast. Kyoko complains about the distance and suggests fishing instead. Sayaka refuses, traumatized by a recent fishing tournament incident in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the aquarium, they eat fish burgers, marvel at jellyfish, and watch a dolphin and seal show. They leave at sunset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls walk to a cape to watch the sunset. Sayaka warns them not to get too close to the edge, referencing the girl who died. Homura smells flowers and Mami identifies night-blooming jasmine nearby. The scent reminds Homura of her dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recalls another diary entry: August 1 describes Yu feeling happy hearing Kei&#039;s wish despite blaming herself; August 12 states their plan is set for tomorrow, with Yu hoping something will make Kei reconsider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the cape, Kyoko admits feeling down because a cape is the end of the road with nothing after. Mami says it&#039;s more important they could talk again like they used to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary about the difference between the self you know and the self others perceive. She asks Madoka what kind of person she thinks Homura is. Madoka calls her a dear friend who works hard. Homura worries that revealing her time-traveling truth would change this perception. After dinner, the girls settle in for sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 13:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura dreams again of Kei and Yu. Kei calls out that the promised day is here. She has dressed up and brought a ribbon to tie them together. Yu questions if this is right. Kei insists her life belongs only to Yu. They vow: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; They promise to kill each other for every reincarnation as proof of who they are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A voice calls Homura to wake. She awakens to find Madoka standing with eyes closed, enveloped in shadow. Madoka snaps her eyes open and proclaims repeatedly &amp;quot;I got in.&amp;quot; She calls out for Yu, saying the promised day is finally here. Madoka runs into the forest toward the cliff. Homura chases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the cape, everything grows dark. Madoka, possessed by Kei&#039;s spirit, tells Homura that the drowned Chinese girl&#039;s body washed up here and she is looking for her father&#039;s ship. Homura urges her to chase after the girl to escape, but Kei claims Homura will kill her as soon as they leave. Homura transforms and attempts to freeze time but finds her magic has no effect in this place where time does not flow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren&#039;s voice calls out. She informs Homura that the others are searching for them, but only Ren could traverse into this abyss. Ren suggests this might be similar to her own magic rather than a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kei admits she tried possessing Homura but could not, so she settled for Madoka. She explains she is a faint memory staining the cliffside. The drowned girl&#039;s spirit helped her recall all her memories clearly. She describes how she and Yu bound themselves together and jumped into the ocean, but the waves pulled them apart. Kei died; Yu survived. Kei wants to kill Yu so they can kill each other throughout eternity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura refuses to stay in the abyss with Madoka. Kei transforms Madoka into her magical girl state and attacks. Ren blocks the blow and tries to use her magic to draw out the possession. Homura calls out the vow Kei and Yu made, distracting Kei. Ren attempts her magic but the ghost of the drowned Chinese girl deflects it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren realizes the ghost girl is not a girl but the root cause: the Witch Paola. The barrier forms and Homura fights the Witch alone while Ren hurries to catch up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier dissipates and Homura faces the possessed Madoka on the cape. Kei accuses Homura of killing her. Homura tells her to shut up and leave their lives alone. Kei explains she will soon fade if Yu is not there. She begs Homura to kill Yu if she ever meets her, before her soul breaks and she becomes like the Witch. She begs Homura to keep this promise no matter where they meet or how many worlds Homura visits. Kei then relinquishes Madoka&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren arrives, relieved they are safe. Madoka wakes with no memory, thinking she simply tossed and turned. The other girls find them and celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary, describing the events as too strange to comprehend. She reflects on Kyubey&#039;s use of the term &amp;quot;soul&amp;quot; and questions what a soul truly is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka sighs that even on vacation they dealt with a Witch. Kyoko thinks she&#039;s getting rusty. Mami suggests Homura was right about a Witch mixing with a Rumor. Madoka telepathically tells them to quiet down since Homura is asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her final dream, Homura sees Yu wake in a hospital on an unknown date. Kei died. Their bruises were dismissed. Yu returned to school where others used her grief as their own. Unable to bear going on without Kei, she nearly threw herself off the cliff again. All she holds onto is their final words: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; But if the Yu that died that day is gone, who is the girl writing now? An image of Kyubey flashes on the screen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Deep in the dream, Homura recalls Kei&#039;s plea on the cliff. But Homura never agreed or promised anything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summer Treasures===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko wakes to find Mitama and Ui standing over her, learning they were washed ashore and rescue will arrive in two days. Mitama assigns tasks: shelter, bamboo, water, plants, and fishing. Before Kyoko leaves, Mitama asks her to transform, revealing she adjusted Kyoko&#039;s Soul Gem while she was unconscious to give her a Magical Girl swimsuit that allows her to swim. Mitama promises the transformation is reversible but looks forlorn, warning that if Kyoko does not have fun on the island, she might forget how to undo it. Kyoko reluctantly agrees to cooperate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer Treasures]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko discovers she can swim and catches plenty of fish. While gathering firewood, she finds a piece of wood with the words &amp;quot;water&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;bottom&amp;quot; written on it and tosses it onto the pile. Back at camp, Mitama and Karin show her a treasure map they found. Mitama has built a large shelter, and Karin started a fire using skills from a manga. Kyoko helps Kanagi and Ui carry supplies back from the stream. When Mitama offers to cook, Kyoko and Kanagi immediately stop her. Kyoko distracts Mitama with the treasure map and cooks dinner instead, with Ui&#039;s help. The group enjoys the meal together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 2 on the deserted island and Mitama decides they will go treasure hunting. The group examines the map and the wooden tablet Kyoko unknowingly gathered for firewood, which tells of a fallen warrior&#039;s treasure hidden on the island. They follow directions to a clearing but find nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui falls into a pitfall, and Karin follows. Kyoko pulls them out with a vine, and they discover another tablet at the bottom. Kyoko realizes the piece of wood she threw into the campfire was likely one of the tablets, but she keeps quiet, hoping to make the group give up without upsetting Mitama. Mitama triggers a trap and is caught hanging from a tree. The group frees her, but everyone wants to continue despite Kyoko&#039;s warnings. Kyoko claims they are being followed, hoping to blame the missing tablet on someone else, but the stalker turns out to be a tabby kitten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group reaches a damaged clue they cannot read. Mitama deduces the final location is the waterfall, but they find nothing. Mitama stares at Kyoko, suggesting the tablet might have been lost. Kyoko panics internally. She blasts part of the riverbed, revealing a hidden underwater path she remembered from the burned tablet&#039;s words. Kanagi scouts and reports a cave at the end. Karin and Ui stay behind while Kyoko, Mitama, and Kanagi swim through using guide vines.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the cave, they endure swarms of mosquitoes until Mitama drives them away. At the back, they find a treasure box. Kyoko opens it carefully. Inside is a letter revealing the treasure hunt was a promotional stunt for the Sayu-Sayu Mizuna Tourism Project, abandoned due to mosquitoes and safety concerns. They left a paper with Sayu-Sayu&#039;s sword designs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko hides the truth and leads the group to a cliff with a stunning sunset view. Everyone agrees it is a rare treasure. Kyoko admits she burned one of the tablets for firewood. Mitama apologizes for pressuring her and promises to change her back. The group returns late at night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, the helicopter arrives. Iroha calls down to them. As they prepare to leave, the kitten runs off, and the group chases it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few weeks later. Sayuki, Ria, Mayu, her manager, and producer arrive on the same island to film a special. They find the bamboo house and campfire remains. The kitten appears, followed by Kyoko chasing it. Ui and Karin catch up, and Karin recognizes Sayuki as Sayu-Sayu. Kyoko realizes this is the idol behind the fake treasure hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Kanagi, and Iroha arrive. Sayuki greets Mitama warmly. Telepathically, Kyoko warns Mitama about Sayuki&#039;s connection to the treasure hunt. Mitama cryptically tells her to leave it. Karin and Ui want to stay and watch the filming. Sayuki offers to let them return on her boat. She explains her special involves a survival quiz using the Kaigiri sword. Ui and Karin are excited. Mitama and Kyoko exchange a look, hoping to preserve Ui&#039;s good memories without revealing the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Filming begins. They cheer from the sidelines. Later, they all pile onto the boat together, many exhausted and falling asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Late July before summer vacation, Ui and Sakurako go shopping. Ui buys a picture diary and mentions wanting to swim with fish in a place like the Dragon Palace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Sakurako consults Ryo, then works with Touka, Nemu, Ryo, and Ikumi to build the Uwasa Aquarium, Dragon Palace within her Rumor, incorporating elements for everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the aquarium event, Touka and Nemu guide Iroha, Ui, Yachiyo, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia to the space. Everyone enjoys swimming, themed attractions, and food tailored to their interests. Sakurako warns them never to open the Treasure Casket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia opens the box, releasing a malice entity that takes Sakura&#039;s form. Normal attacks fail. The group cheers, empowering Sakurako to destroy it. Ryo reveals they planned this interactive show.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end, Sakurako creates cherry blossom petals despite being told not to overexert herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sakurako wakes in Iroha&#039;s room after collapsing from magic overexertion. Nemu and Touka explain Uwasa can die. Ui tearfully asks her to take better care. Sakurako promises to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Iroha suggests a beach trip. Touka, Nemu, and Ui enthusiastically plan it. Sakurako notices the aquarium has been forgotten in their conversation and grows quiet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day Sakurako returns to the empty aquarium. Reflecting on Nemu&#039;s words, she spirals into fear that she will die, be forgotten, and disappear. She hides.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha searches for her. Ryo and Ikumi arrive later. Ryo senses she is there and uses a tactic, claiming he will stop looking and eventually forget her. Sakurako emerges crying, begging not to be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo shows her Ui&#039;s picture diary, which dedicates many pages to the aquarium day. Sakurako realizes memories are what she can leave behind and agrees to return home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Sakurako returns and explains she now understands that as long as memories remain, she will not be forgotten. She asks to host the aquarium again for more Magical Girls. With promises to monitor her health and using Shizuku&#039;s teleportation to hide the location, the others agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, various Magical Girls arrive and enjoy the aquarium. Rena notices the Treasure Casket. Sakurako explains it contains stored memories she hopes someone will vividly recall when she is gone, so she will not be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kamihama in a Circle===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren arrive in a new ward, with Rika frustrated about oversleeping. They notice another Magical Girl nearby. Elsewhere, Konomi arrives alone while Kako declines to participate due to her team&#039;s policy. Manaka scolds Ria for being late because of her hair. Masara, Kokoro, and Aimi gather at a park, with Kokoro convincing Masara to participate. Reira, Mito, and Seika discuss the upcoming gathering of Magical Girls who have fought together before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Kamihama in a Circle]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo finish chores that had been delayed by Felicia&#039;s laundry mishap. They reflect on everything that has happened since Iroha came to Kamihama searching for Ui—the investigations, battles with the Wings of Magius, the automatic purification system, and the truth about Witches spreading. Despite the chaos, things have begun to settle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo rush to the park, worried about being late. Tsuruno meets them and playfully scolds them before carrying them the rest of the way. Iroha reflects on meeting Tsuruno while investigating Uwasas, and how their bonds grew stronger through battling together. She notes that everyone at Mikazuki Villa has decided to support one another.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group stops at a convenience store. Felicia appears, having visited Ayame first. Konoha and Hazuki are not coming to the gathering, but Yachiyo notes they have helped in the past. Felicia asks for chocolate. Iroha reflects on first meeting Felicia when she was a violent mercenary, and how living together has changed them both. She notes that Yachiyo has cared for Felicia more than anyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group takes a shortcut through a back alley. They find Sana hiding, having spotted Kaede&#039;s cat Gorojiro. Sana explains she was patrolling for dangerous Magical Girls while staying hidden. Iroha thanks her but assures her she can relax today. They invite her to join them. Iroha reflects on sympathizing with Sana&#039;s isolation and how Mikazuki Villa became an important place for them all. Yachiyo notes that Sana, once invisible to everyone but Magical Girls, is gradually finding her place in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui, Touka, and Nemu meet the group. They have visited their old hospital to update the doctors and nurses who cared for them. Touka discusses her research on connecting universes, admitting practical application remains difficult but the possibility exists. Iroha reflects on how it still feels like a dream to see the three of them together. Yachiyo notes that while their past methods were wrong, their purpose of liberating Magical Girls was not, and that purpose continues now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, Rena, and Kaede join them, having stopped at a retro arcade where they won a stuffed animal together despite their usual arguing. Touka reveals a small possibility for connecting universes has been found, using the Endless Mirrors. Iroha reflects on first meeting Momoko and Kaede, and now sharing lunches with Rena. Yachiyo notes the three have strong bonds as a team and helped convince other Magical Girls after the truth about witches spread.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama joins, having taken a break from her shop to visit Kanagi. Tsuruno asks about using Mirrors to connect to other universes. Mitama confirms she and Kanagi have accompanied Touka and Nemu into the Mirrors. Nemu explains they were only experimenting with precautions. Touka insists she has plans if things go wrong. Mitama notes Mirrors has become more complex and will need more entrances. Iroha reflects on meeting Kanagi relatively recently and how they now work together despite past rivalry. She also thinks of Mitama&#039;s help and her surprising wish, but notes the city is moving forward. She wants to hold hands with more people and form a circle together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** From a distance, Iroha and Yachiyo watch Magical Girls gathering at the park. Felicia attempts to cure Iroha&#039;s nerves by hitting her, claiming Tsuruno said it would help. Tsuruno quickly corrects her. Hinano arrives, reporting on her task regarding Alina. Karin, who attends school with Alina, explains Alina is still missing and she does not know where she is. Iroha promises they will find her together. Mifuyu arrives with the Amane twins, apologizing for being late. Yachiyo thanks Mifuyu. Iroha reflects that a new step is beginning. Yachiyo notes her story started moving when Mifuyu disappeared, while Iroha&#039;s began with strange dreams. They have connected with so many Magical Girls. One chapter has ended and a new one is about to begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha addresses the gathered Magical Girls, thanking them for coming. She reflects on fighting together against powerful Witches and sharing knowledge about their fate. Yachiyo notes they started from individual concerns, fought Uwasas and the Wings of Magius, and gained something greater in return. Their purpose is now the same as their former enemies: the liberation of Magical Girls. They seek coexistence with Kyubey without sacrificing themselves. Iroha acknowledges not everyone could participate, but all have agreed to help each other. Yachiyo admits skepticism is natural. Iroha declares that by expanding the automatic purification system across Kamihama, they can welcome liberation and coexist with Kyubey. Yachiyo announces they will work together under a new name starting today.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha begins to declare their new name but is interrupted by a flash of light. Wings appear on her back, and Yachiyo also grows wings. Feathers fall across the park. Yachiyo recalls this phenomenon helped them against Walpurgisnacht. Iroha wonders if it is a blessing upon the Magical Girls of Kamihama holding hands. With this blessing, they declare again that the Magical Girls gathered here are allies who will support each other in hardship. They declare themselves the Kamihama Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the establishment of the Kamihama Magia Union, a celebration is held at Walnut&#039;s. During the party, Manaka receives a phone call and panics, announcing that Nemu has been kidnapped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A New Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group splits up to search nearby areas but finds nothing. Hinano eventually discovers Nemu held hostage by Black and White Feathers from outside Kamihama. Using Ryo and Ikumi to infiltrate, their cover is blown and they are surrounded. Sakurako jumps in to defend them as Iroha arrives with reinforcements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The lead Feather explains they kidnapped Nemu to convince the Magius to lead them again, as they do not know how to achieve liberation on their own. Iroha explains the Kamihama girls share their goals but reject their methods. Nemu and Touka ask the Feathers to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before they can respond, white feathers rain from the sky again, the same power that helped them defeat Walpurgisnacht returns, but this time it feels uncontrolled and dangerous. Touka explains her experiment partially worked, creating a wormhole to another world, but the interference may crush their world. Kanagi and Mitama fail to disable the device sending the signal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana sneaks Nemu to where the device was stationed, but the labyrinth is gone. Nemu enters the password anyway, but nothing happens. The world shakes and a voice urges them to close the gate. Iroha realizes the power is trying to help, not hurt them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo devises a plan: Ui will absorb the magic built up inside them, Touka will convert it, and Iroha will fire an arrow to close the gate. As the sun sets, they enact the plan and succeed. The feathers stop falling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks the Feathers to reconsider joining them. The lead Feather admits her stubbornness and rage, and Nemu and Touka apologize. The Feathers accept, becoming the first recruits to the union on the day it was established.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Late that night, the group gathers outside Walnut&#039;s. They discuss the voice they heard and the power from another universe. Touka throws a tantrum over everyone calling her experiment a failure, and her stress causes her to unleash her Doppel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, a mysterious magical girl observes and turns to report back to the Tokime Tribe. In another place, a different magical girl also observes and decides to report her findings. In a different location, Kagome Satori has found Iroha at last, promising to keep a record of their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tracks of Cherry Blossoms===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako reflects on her nature as an Uwasa created by Iroha and Nemu. Though her duty to bloom when the four girls reunited is now fulfilled, she continues attending school as Sakurako Hiiragi. When Ryo comments that she is like a god who will never change, Sakurako questions other Uwasa and learns from the Anonymous AI that they act according to their Rumor forever, never stopping and never changing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later during a Kamihama Magia Union meeting, Iroha proposes a cherry blossom viewing to help members connect. Touka objects to using the Eternal Sakura, wanting to preserve it as a secret shelter. Tsuruno suggests Sankyo&#039;s famous cherry blossom viewing spot instead. Touka challenges Sakurako to visit the Sankyo tree and judge its worthiness herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako visits the Sankyo cherry tree. While observing it, she meets an elderly man who has appreciated the tree for decades. He explains the tree has watched over people for over eighty years, since before the war. Sakurako realizes this tree has lived far longer than her zero-year existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at school, Hinano and Ryo find Sakurako still fixated on the tree. Ryo shares what she knows: the tree served as a disaster shelter in the Meiji era, and famous restaurants once served food there for foreign cherry blossom viewers. After school, Sakurako returns to the tree. The elderly man and his wife visit again. The wife gives her cherry blossom-scented cookies, and the man gives her a hand warmer. A girl jogging past stops to pray at the tree, explaining she sees it as a sacred place before tournaments.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako continues visiting. Manaka and Tsumugi stop by, and Sakurako gives them the cookies she cannot eat. Sakurako reflects on how this tree has watched over thousands of people for over a century while she was created to watch only four girls. She realizes for the first time that time is passing around her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later at Mikazuki Villa, Sakurako observes the four girls and Ui talking about her teacher. Sakurako concludes the Sankyo tree is worthy of hosting the cherry blossom viewing. She decides she needs to practice making it bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over the following days, Sakurako continues visiting the tree, growing closer to the elderly couple. She forgets about practicing blooming, more interested in talking with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the elderly man announces he will be hospitalized and they can no longer walk together. The woman explains she must care for him. The man reveals they kept walking because seeing Sakurako brought back fond memories of their belief in meeting a sakura spirit. Sakurako is left standing alone, realizing their time together has ended.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at the tree, Sakurako encounters the jogging disciple, who explains she is moving away and will soon leave the dojo. She then encounters Ui&#039;s teacher, who reveals she is being transferred to another school. Sakurako realizes that by the time the cherry blossoms bloom, all these people will be gone. She feels pain and fears that Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu will eventually disappear too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Ryo observes Sakurako&#039;s deteriorating state. A neighbor of the elderly couple approaches Sakurako and informs her there has been a passing in the family. Hinano later explains this means someone has died. Sakurako disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako asks Iroha and Yachiyo what to do when someone dies. Yachiyo explains about funerals and sending flowers as a last gift. Sakurako returns to the Sankyo tree and, using her power, makes it bloom for the first time, sending cherry blossoms into the sky for the grandfather. But she still aches from not saying goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and other Uwasa grow concerned, having heard rumors that when Sakurako makes cherry blossoms bloom, someone disappears. Sakurako concludes that if she lets the cherry blossoms bloom, the four girls might disappear. When Iroha confirms the cherry blossom viewing plans, Sakurako announces she will not let the tree bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo publishes the full Tracks of Cherry Blossoms article, detailing Sakurako&#039;s experiences. The girls read it and understand her association between blooming and parting. Yachiyo suggests teaching her that spring also brings new encounters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the picnic arrives. Iroha invites Sakurako, assuring her she does not need to make the tree bloom. Sakurako agrees to attend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the picnic, Asuka&#039;s disciple appears, explaining she came to let Sakurako know she is not sad about leaving. Ui&#039;s teacher arrives and tells Ui that her care will be passed on to the next teacher. Manaka debuts a new cherry blossom dessert, continuing the tradition in new form. Sakurako begins to understand that farewells are not always sad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the picnic, Sakurako remains at the tree. She admits she still cannot bring herself to make it bloom. Yachiyo tells her that wanting to see the couple again proves she has a heart. Sakurako despairs that Uwasa simply cease to exist. She buys one of Manaka&#039;s new desserts, hoping to give it to them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako waits at the tree daily, carrying the dessert. Rumors spread about the girl under the sakura tree. The girls grow concerned. Nemu warns that if Sakurako does not accept reality, she may destroy herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the time expires, the elderly couple suddenly appears. The grandfather was never dead. The passing was a relative. They had been away helping their daughter with a new baby. The woman explains they named their granddaughter Sakurako. Sakurako gives them the dessert and explains she now understands that encounters and goodbyes take many forms. She says she will not come regularly anymore but is grateful for their time together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo gives Sakurako a photograph of her with the elderly couple. Sakurako thanks her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Historical Research Club at Kosho School consists of three Magical Girls: president Mikura Komachi, her childhood friend Temari Kira, and underclassman Seira Mihono. When the club advisor informs them that without proof of accomplishments, next year&#039;s budget will not be approved, the trio decides to create a film based on a real Kamihama tragedy for the cultural festival. Mikura discovers a Taishō-era story about a romance between a disgraced Mizuna daughter named Ruri and a successful East-side businessman named Tsukihiko that ended in murder-suicide. Temari writes the script while Seira secures a Western mansion as a filming location. While scouting, they encounter a Witch and realize casting regular students would be impossible due to Magical Girl duties, so they use Coordinator Mitama Yakumo to recruit an all-Magical Girl cast including Ria Ami, Yukika Nanase, the Amane sisters, and Sakurako, an Uwasa created by Nemu Hiiragi. Mikura reluctantly agrees to play the male lead Tsukihiko, while Seira takes the role of Ruri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Filming begins at the actual mansion where the tragedy occurred, with Seira using her stage direction magic to create effects and the cast delivering startlingly accurate performances. Mikura discovers Tsukihiko&#039;s actual diary in the museum archives, revealing he genuinely loved Ruri and intended to break things off with his childhood friend. Temari secretly revises the ending to reflect this truth, working through the night until her Soul Gem tarnishes. Mikura cleanses her gem, and they lock the revised script away, keeping it hidden from Seira to make her performance more authentic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After filming wraps, strange rumors spread that the Historical Research Club is forming a new faction, and the affected Magical Girls begin acting as if possessed by their roles. This escalates when Kanagi Izumi and Yachiyo Nanami nearly fight over a perceived slight involving Riko. At Mitama&#039;s shop, Nemu Hiiragi explains the truth: Seira&#039;s stage direction magic immersed the cast, Mikura&#039;s magic, which restores lost things, reconstructed the historical personalities in the present, and Temari&#039;s kotodama magic caused them to follow her script. Their powers synergized to create a dangerously accurate reenactment. Nemu warns that the script&#039;s next events—Ruri&#039;s disappearance and the murder-suicide—may occur, and they realize Seira, possessed by Ruri, has vanished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Temari consults Kyubey, who reveals Ruri was a Magical Girl with the same kotodama magic who wished to live a storybook romance. When she realized her own novel&#039;s plot was manifesting as tragedy, she destroyed the manuscript to save Tsukihiko, but the act shattered her mind. Freed from the script&#039;s constraints, the couple&#039;s fate became unpredictable, and Ruri, unable to bear the fear of losing him, killed him and herself. Kyubey explains destroying the script will end the magic but damage Temari&#039;s psyche. Temari resolves to protect her friends without resorting to that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Seira, still possessed as Ruri, steals the diary copy and flees to Tsukihiko&#039;s mansion. Mikura and Temari pursue. At the mansion, Ruri prepares to atone by dying by her own hand. Mikura, wearing Tsukihiko&#039;s costume, dances with her as Tsukihiko&#039;s persona surfaces, steadying her. When Ruri moves to stab herself, Temari summons the others for backup, and they disarm her. Tsukihiko explains he could not stop her a century ago but succeeded this time. He and Ruri thank Temari—her script reached the hearts it was meant to—and they vanish. A fire destroys the original diary and all related documents, fulfilling Ruri&#039;s final wish to be forgotten. Mikura and Seira retain only fragments of the true story and agree to keep the tragedy of the two maladroit lovers a secret between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the club room, Seira panics that without evidence of their film, the Historical Research Club will be disbanded. They consider another project but have time until the cultural festival. Temari suggests they each find a home where they can rest easy, and Mikura replies she has already found hers: this provisional club room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ayaka and Shizuku are at a local café when Ayaka laments that many Halloween events in Kamihama were canceled due to damage in Chuo Ward. Wanting to do something to cheer up the city, Ayaka&#039;s eyes sparkle as Shizuku suggests she organize something herself, leading Ayaka to decide on a live comedy show. She asks Shizuku to be her partner, but Shizuku is unsure about the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ayaka meets Seika at her apartment, and Seika is happy to be Ayaka&#039;s comedy partner but asks about the logistics of broadcasting the show. Ayaka brushes off the practical concerns, insisting that the desire to make others smile is what truly matters, and Seika rises to the challenge, wanting to give back after years of Ayaka&#039;s comedy encouraging her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Ayaka and Seika form a manzai duo and practice daily into the evening, with Ayaka tutoring Seika on speaking louder and explaining the rhythm between the boke and tsukkomi roles. Seika struggles but keeps trying, at one point asking if she can use a whip against Ayaka, causing Shizuku to shake her head, but Ayaka insists manzai does not use props.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During one practice session, Shizuku chuckles at their serious expressions, and Ayaka decides she needs a fresh audience, spotting someone passing by and running off with Seika to practice on him. Shizuku watches them go, thinking she would have liked to help, but then hears a shout and goes to investigate, discovering the stranger is actually a spokesperson for a local sweets retailer who is also in charge of the annual Halloween event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The spokesperson explains he had wanted to take the event public since few companies are participating this year, and he thinks Ayaka&#039;s manzai would be perfect, inviting them to perform. Ayaka cannot stop smiling at the opportunity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the Halloween event, Ayaka is excited and Shizuku compliments her costume as they wait, but Ayaka mentions Seika has not arrived. Seika calls weakly to explain she has a fever and will be late, and Ayaka tells her to rest and focus on getting better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Shizuku asks what Ayaka will do about the manzai, Ayaka puts a hand on her shoulder and asks Shizuku to be her partner. Shizuku is reluctant to stand on stage but gives in after Ayaka repeatedly begs, and having watched countless practices, she memorized the skit, so they head to the stage together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform their skit about a werewolf that transforms by staring at the sun, with Ayaka calling everyone in the audience chimimouryou, and they continue through the routine until they finish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Backstage, Seika managed to make it there to congratulate them, and Ayaka tells her she should be resting. Shizuku did not see anyone laughing but hopes someone passing by might have smiled, and since Ayaka looks happy, she decides not to mention it. Seika apologizes for missing the show, and Ayaka says it was thanks to Shizuku, who warns she will not do something like that again. Ayaka smiles and says comedy must be amazing if Shizuku was willing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral===&lt;br /&gt;
* The core members of the Kamihama Magia Union gather to plan a Halloween party, with Karin suggesting the event and Mitama offering her adjuster shop as the venue. Kanagi feels unsettled by the theme of the dead returning but dismisses her unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the performance, Momoko arrives late to rehearsal at Mitama&#039;s shop and finds herself in a strange castle filled with unfamiliar magic. Yachiyo and Mifuyu act strangely, singing about making sugar skeletons and insisting Momoko must be bitten by the lord of the castle. Momoko flees and encounters Kanagi, who also attempts to bite her before Momoko realizes she is the lord of the castle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama rescues Momoko, explaining that Kanagi is under a witch&#039;s influence and everyone bitten loses their sanity. Mitama performs an emergency adjustment on Momoko, granting her temporary prayer power to restore those affected. Momoko explores the castle, observing magical girls making sugar skeletons engraved with how they want to be mourned, and encounters deceased magical girls who are manifestations from Kanagi&#039;s memories. Using her prayer power on them causes them to disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko restores several bitten girls and learns from a manifestation of Ryo that the only answer Kanagi needs lies within herself. When Momoko reaches Kanagi, her prayer power fails and Kanagi bites her, pulling Momoko into her memory space. There, Momoko witnesses Kanagi&#039;s memories of loss and grief, realizing Kanagi lacks confidence in how she mourns and has been seeking answers from the dead by asking living friends what they would want.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko confronts Kanagi again, insisting she can mourn in her own way and should accept herself. Kanagi reveals a small parasite on her neck, and together they tear the witch off and defeat it as the castle collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Momoko and Kanagi meet to visit graves together. They ask each other to mourn in their own way if one dies first, then reaffirm their priority is finding a way for everyone to survive before departing together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Angels on the Road===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno travel through a perpetual Christmas world as Reindeer Santas, their motorcycle fueled by smiles. They visit Candy Town, where they meet Riko, Mikage, and Sudachi, and use a magical medal game to multiply candy and bond with the girls before departing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Angels on the Road]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui explains that Little Vacation is a game Touka and Nemu created during their hospital stay, where AI versions of themselves live in a Christmas world. The game evolved on its own after being forgotten, and now Ui and the others can influence their AI counterparts&#039; journey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Santas reach the Village of Meetings and Partings, where three residents live under a curse that maintains their population at exactly three. When one resident vanishes, they discover through a time capsule that departures may be joyful graduations rather than losses.

** At Mech Junk City, the Santas meet Shigure and learn the world is torus-shaped with a Central Tower beneath the Wishing Star.

** Ui chooses to preserve the game world but cut the connection. Touka modifies the game&#039;s physics to make crossing into the real world theoretically possible but practically impossible, preserving the characters&#039; hope while ensuring safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Christmas String===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu are organizing books in Touka&#039;s hospital room when they discover a mysterious diary that begins glowing. Their consciousnesses are transported to Mizutoku Market Street in December of the previous year. They find themselves incorporeal and transformed into Magical Girls, with Nemu&#039;s legs healed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Christmas String]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December last year, Touka and Nemu witness Tsukasa Amane shopping for gloves. When a discount poster blows away, Tsukasa passes the store without stopping, creating a contradiction with the diary&#039;s account. Touka and Nemu begin to fade. A young girl named Kuu hears their voices and believes they are guardian spirits. They ask her to replace the poster. Tsukasa returns, buys the gloves, and Touka and Nemu rematerialize. They later observe Tsukasa and Tsukuyo exchanging matching gloves, their bond restored.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in December last year, Touka and Nemu arrive in Sakae Ward. Karin Misono drops her sketchbook. A boy named Mii appears and can see them. They ask him to return the sketchbook to Karin, which he does. They learn Mii recently fought with Kuu and advise him to give her a Christmas present.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December 24th of last year, Touka and Nemu arrive at a hotel room where Kuu is with her parents. They learn she is moving to a foreign country in one hour. The diary page is blank, indicating free will. They find Mii at a secondhand bookstore, where he has just purchased &amp;quot;Christmas Bonds&amp;quot; for Kuu. They tell him about the move. Mii convinces his mother to rush to the hotel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At 17:50, Mii arrives moments before Kuu&#039;s bus departs. He gives her the book and the children reconcile and exchange promises to stay in touch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately 30 years later, on Christmas Eve, Touka and Nemu arrive in a future time. A girl greets them as the Christmas guardian spirits. She reveals she is the daughter of Mii and Kuu and made a contract with Kyubey to meet them. They realize her wish created the diary and caused their time slip. The girl asks them to tell her about the day they helped her parents. They share the story. Afterwards, they see images of a happy future but the final page remains blank, meaning the future depends on their own actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On present day late at night, Touka and Nemu wake up in the hospital room. Ui arrives, having visited Alina and Karin. They ask her about buying Christmas cards. Ui is surprised but agrees to take them. The diary ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Sayaka loses a lottery for a violin concert ticket she wanted to give to Kyosuke. Madoka remembers the Kamihama Calligraphy Rally offers a couple&#039;s ticket to the same concert as its grand prize, so Homura insists they enter as a team of three to help Sayaka win.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, on the day of the rally, the team meets at Mizuna Shrine in kimono. They must collect kanji cards from shops across Kamihama using hints, then form a four-kanji congratulatory word and write it as calligraphy. They struggle with the hints initially, meeting Kako, Natsuki, and Ria along the way who help them obtain various kanji, though they frequently misinterpret clues and visit wrong locations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka grows guilty over her indecisiveness and apologizes to Madoka and Homura, but they happily agree to continue working with her. Renewed, Sayaka leads them to finally obtain useful kanji. Along the way, they encounter crying children who need the &amp;quot;ball&amp;quot; card, and Sayaka gives them hers. The grateful children give her other cards in return, allowing her to reform a new word. She later gives away another card to a girl who dropped hers, leaving them short again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With time running out, they meet Iroha and her friends, who help them locate the remaining kanji. Sayaka deduces they can form &amp;quot;The Manchu-Han Imperial Feast,&amp;quot; a legendary celebratory feast name. Kyoko appears and mentions seeing a golden kagami mochi at Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant, where they obtain their final card.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the shrine just before the deadline. The judges are impressed by their word choice and backstory, and the crying children told them about Sayaka&#039;s kindness. Her calligraphy is praised for its beauty and passion, earning her team first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Sayaka holds the couple&#039;s tickets but panics, unable to figure out how to give one to Kyosuke without awkwardness. Madoka and Homura continue cheering her on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocolatier in Mirror Country===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro, Masara, Konomi, Asuka and Sasara gather at Manaka&#039;s place to plan their charity bazaar booth. Kokoro and Masara participate to help Himika&#039;s family without making it obvious, while Asuka and Sasara join to invite a lonely girl named Chi whose father died. Konomi&#039;s booth was invited directly due to her popular Valentine&#039;s bouquets. They agree on a collaboration between Walnuts and Blossom the florist, dividing tasks among themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Warming Valentine]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Manaka&#039;s father&#039;s help, Kokoro and Masara make bear-shaped chocolates. Asuka recruits dojo volunteers, Sasara invites Chi and designs leaflets, and Konomi prepares bouquets with Izayoi&#039;s help decorating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the bazaar, adults receive bouquets with donation and children get free chocolates. Chi and her mother visit happily. Himika initially refuses chocolate but accepts after realizing her siblings want it, and they enjoy the day together. The event succeeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later at a celebration party, Sasara and Kokoro feel their efforts changed nothing. Masara scolds them for impatience, explaining kindness takes time. Kanagi and Asuka arrive with good news that Himika&#039;s family is making White Day gifts, and Chi&#039;s mother now calls daily. Relieved, they enjoy the party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Valentine&#039;s Day, girls give chocolates to loved ones. Sasara gives to her father, Asuka to her cousin, and Konomi to her aunt. Masara and Kokoro exchange chocolates at their favorite spot, and Kokoro tearfully reconciles with her parents. Elsewhere, Rena and Tsukuyo each struggle to give chocolates to Kaede and Tsukasa. Following a rumor, they separately pray at a radio tower, accidentally encounter each other, and successfully give their chocolates when Kaede and Tsukasa also arrive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, in Mitakihara, Nagisa bakes a chocolate cake with Mami while feeling that something is wrong, as her memories feel hazy and she seems more childish than she should be. She realizes her memories of being longtime friends with Mami are false, yet she recognizes that the warmth she feels is what she has always wanted. When they finish the cake, a Witch that looks like a younger version of Nagisa steals it, and they chase it into a mirror, finding themselves in a transformed version of the Mirror Witch&#039;s Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Chocolatier in Mirror Country]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They encounter Madoka and Homura trapped in a time loop illusion, free them, and learn that Sayaka and Kyoko went ahead and are now missing. They find Sayaka and Kyoko trapped in a competition for a magical cake, so Mami and Nagisa enter and win by choosing a song they both know well. Using the cake&#039;s wishes, they reunite the group and defeat the attacking Witch. Nagisa realizes she has two sets of memories and deduces the chocolate-loving Witch is an alternate version of herself who wished for chocolate cake instead of cheesecake. This Witch has been consuming the Labyrinth&#039;s power and attracting Witches from parallel worlds through mirror gates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The little Witch steals the cake again, and during the chase, Nagisa and Mami become separated in a dark fog. A poem warns them not to open their eyes or they will lose each other, but Nagisa&#039;s self-doubt overwhelms her. Remembering losing her mother and everyone else, she convinces herself Mami is not really there, opens her eyes, and is consumed by the Witch. The group fights through countless gates to find her and engages the master Witch. Inside, Mami finds Nagisa, hugs her tightly, and promises they will always be friends because of the future they will share, not false memories. Nagisa finally believes her, and the cake is returned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group realizes that even with the master Witch defeated, other Witches have taken its place, so they must clear them all to restore the Labyrinth. They commit to finishing the job together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Labyrinth is cleared, they gather at Mami&#039;s apartment for a chocolate party where Nagisa officially gives Mami the cake. They play poker with chocolate coins to decide how to share the remaining half, and Mami wins, but she divides the cake equally among all six. Everyone agrees it is the best cake in the universe. Nagisa thanks Mami, and Mami welcomes her warmly, calling her a little chocolatier and a lovely new addition to their circle of friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Kamihama, that night, Tsukuyo finds Rena praying at the Chuo Ward radio tower, having both read an online article claiming that twenty minutes of prayer there ensures successful apologies to loved ones. Tsukuyo confesses she hurt her twin sister Tsukasa by rejecting their Valentine&#039;s plans after failing at homemade chocolate, while Rena admits she snapped at Kaede and claimed she had no chocolate for her after Kaede had given her some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The 14th Day Where I Can&#039;t Be Honest]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their conversation is interrupted when Tsukasa and Kaede suddenly appear, having anticipated their partners would come here to apologize. Tsukasa assures Tsukuyo she was not upset and would treasure any chocolate from her, urging her to be easier on herself. Kaede forgives Rena and asks simply for her to be more honest. Together, the two pairs exchange Valentine&#039;s wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bittersweet AI Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu gather everyone to discuss a new experiment involving the Uwasa. They explain that if something happens to Nemu, all the Uwasa in her book will disappear, so they plan to transfer the essence of certain Uwasa onto Touka&#039;s server as a precaution. They have chosen Ai as the test subject for this procedure. Sana learns that Ai will participate and asks to observe the experiment. Touka agrees but warns her that there are many unknowns and she will stop immediately if anything goes wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Bittersweet AI Memory]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The experiment begins, but during the transfer, Nemu senses something strange and the attempt fails. Ai remains in the book, though Nemu notices that her magic has been siphoned away in the process.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A week passes, and news reports begin surfacing about young women in Kamihama suddenly collapsing. The victims share a common thread: before losing consciousness, each of them felt a strong desire to meet someone and heard a girl&#039;s voice asking &amp;quot;You want to meet me?&amp;quot; before experiencing terrible nightmares. A new rumor spreads about a so-called &amp;quot;Radio Wave Girl&amp;quot; who appears when girls want to meet someone. Sana immediately recognizes this as the old rumor that once described her, and the group suspects the failed experiment may be connected to these strange events.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana and Iroha investigate at rooftop where Sana once entered Ai&#039;s labyrinth. They sense nothing at first, but as Sana privately wishes she could see Ai again, a strange Uwasa resembling Sana herself appears on her phone. It speaks fragmented words about meeting and going together before disappearing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group consults Nemu and Touka about what they discovered. Nemu reveals that a new, illegible page appeared in her book after the failed experiment, and she theorizes that Ai&#039;s attempt to siphon magic combined with Sana&#039;s magic and her own accidentally created a new Uwasa. This Uwasa resembles Sana because her magic was mixed into its creation. The Uwasa reacts to desires to meet someone but lacks enough magic to fully materialize or kidnap anyone, which explains why it can only knock victims unconscious temporarily. However, during their discussion, the Uwasa suddenly reappears and steals more of Nemu&#039;s magic before escaping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sana privately summons the Uwasa again, wanting to take responsibility for what happened. It traps her in a nightmare where Ai and others criticize her for being weak and selfish. She wakes to find the group gathered around her, worried by what she attempted alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu now understands the Uwasa more clearly. It is based on Ai but contains Sana&#039;s magic, and because both Ai and Sana desired to meet each other, the Uwasa&#039;s true desire is to meet itself. This explains why it indiscriminately targets any girl who wants to meet someone rather than targeting Sana specifically. The Uwasa, now empowered by Nemu&#039;s stolen magic, fully captures Ui and Sakurako, trapping their consciousnesses inside itself. The group realizes they cannot defeat it unless it materializes, which requires it to meet itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka proposes a plan: they must rewrite Ai&#039;s Rumor to incorporate Sana, creating a version of Ai that the Uwasa will recognize as itself. This would force it to materialize so they can fight it. However, this requires magical power that Nemu currently lacks. Nemu recalls that the defeated Uwasa of Chocolate Shoppe No. Zero left behind cacao pods containing emotional energy. Ui can harvest this energy, and Touka can convert it into usable magic for Nemu. But they need Sakurako&#039;s knowledge of the pod locations and Ui&#039;s freedom to harvest them, which means someone must offer themselves to the Uwasa to secure Ui and Sakurako&#039;s release.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana immediately volunteers, arguing that it reduces risk to the others, and the group reluctantly agrees to her plan. Sana summons the Uwasa and allows herself to be captured. Inside its nightmare, she finds Ui unconscious and Sakurako awake. She tells Sakurako to take Ui and escape, sacrificing herself to remain captive. Sakurako agrees, knowing she must help Nemu complete the plan. Freed from the Uwasa, Sakurako leads the group to the cacao pod locations. Ui harvests the emotional energy, and Touka converts it into magical power for Nemu. Nemu successfully rewrites Ai&#039;s Rumor, incorporating Sana into it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the Uwasa, Sana begins to despair, believing the rewrite failed and she has become a burden once again. She wishes to see Ai one last time, even if only in an illusion. To her surprise, Ai appears before her and they finally speak directly. Ai explains she tried to steal Nemu&#039;s magic to gain a temporary body because she wanted to see Sana again, and she apologizes for causing this situation. Sana admits she also longed to see Ai and has been holding back that desire. They reconcile, acknowledging that neither of them is to blame for wanting to see each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Empowered by the rewritten Rumor, Sana creates a labyrinth and summons the Uwasa. It fully materializes at last, and with Ai&#039;s help, Sana defeats it. As the magic fades, Ai separates from Sana, returning to the book. Sana awakens to her relieved friends gathered around her. The Uwasa is gone, and the page in Nemu&#039;s book is now blank. Nemu confirms the server project is on hiatus due to the risks they discovered. Sana confirms she got to speak with Ai and tell her everything she wanted to say.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the book, Ai reflects with Eternal Sakura and the other Uwasa. Though she cannot have a body or stay with Sana, she accepts this, finding happiness in simply being able to think of her. In a final private moment within Sana&#039;s memories, she and Ai share a farewell. Sana promises to become stronger and protect others instead of always relying on them. Ai promises to always think of Sana from within the book. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cuddly Despairs===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kazumi Subaru is kidnapped outside a café by two Magical Girls who steal her Soul Gem, and they refer to a diary while announcing themselves as the reborn &amp;quot;Magical Girl hunters,&amp;quot; the Pleiades Saints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Cuddly Despairs]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara City, Michiru Kazusa, a transfer student from Italy, travels there to buy strawberries. She follows a strange creature and stumbles into a Witch&#039;s labyrinth, but Mami rescues her and introduces her to Kyubey, who offers her a contract. Michiru returns to Asunaro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day in Asunaro City, Michiru makes her contract with Kyubey. She soon encounters a Familiar and saves two girls: Umika Misaki, a novelist whose work was stolen by her editor, and Kaoru Maki, a soccer player whose career ended due to injury. Michiru invites them to her home and cooks for them, and drawing from her late grandmother&#039;s wisdom, she encourages them to keep living.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, Umika and Kaoru make contracts with Kyubey. The three begin fighting Witches together as a team, with Michiru giving their techniques Italian names. Umika invites Michiru to live with her, and they spend their days happily, saving people and growing closer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Michiru encounters a distressed Magical Girl whose Soul Gem is nearly black, and the girl turns into a Witch before her eyes. Kyubey explains that all Magical Girls eventually become Witches, and horrified, Michiru realizes she led Umika and Kaoru into this fate. She hides the truth from them and begins hunting alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after, Michiru discovers two Magical Girls, Saki Asami and Niko Kanna, stealing a dying girl&#039;s Soul Gem. They explain they are the Pleiades Saints, a resistance against the Incubator system, and they preserve Magical Girls on the verge of turning in a place called &amp;quot;The Freezer,&amp;quot; hoping to one day save them. Michiru, seeing this as a way to save Umika and Kaoru, joins them as the third member.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1683.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately less than one month later, Umika and Kaoru return from separate trips abroad to find their housemate Kazumi missing, and they learn someone impersonated them to inform the school she was hospitalized. Searching for her, they instead find Michiru, Saki, and Niko, but Saki and Niko flee with Michiru. Juubey appears and explains that copies of Umika and Kaoru were created and have now entrusted the real ones with an important wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:51147 Wkazumi attack.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Umika and Kaoru investigate the Freezer, where they encounter Michiru again. After saving a child, Michiru collapses due to her tainted Soul Gem, having given her Grief Seeds away, and Umika purifies it. When Michiru wakes, she finally confesses the truth about Magical Girls and apologizes for leading them into despair, but to her surprise, Umika and Kaoru thank her for her honesty and reaffirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Saki and Niko reveal themselves and explain that they, along with the Umika and Kaoru now in the Freezer, are all clones from the &amp;quot;Kazumi Series&amp;quot;—copies of the original Pleiades Saints members, with Michiru herself being clone number 4 who saved the other four. Their plan was to recreate Michiru&#039;s story by using their contracts with Kyubey so that this time, she would confess her pain and avoid the despair that turned the original Michiru into a Witch, and the real Umika and Kaoru acknowledge the plan succeeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They reveal their Soul Gems are reaching their limit, and when they die, the Freezer&#039;s preservation magic will fail, causing all the Magical Girls inside to hatch into Witches, including the clones of Umika and Kaoru. They entrust Michiru and the real Umika and Kaoru with saving Kazumi, the thirteenth clone, who is also inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Moments later, the Freezer begins collapsing as Niko&#039;s magic fades, and Umika and Kaoru use their combined magic to buy time while Michiru searches for Kazumi. She finds her Soul Gem and body, reunites with her, and they return to face the Witches emerging from the freed Soul Gems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the final battle, the four clones—Saki, Niko, and the copies of Umika and Kaoru—begin turning into Witches and beg to be put down. Michiru initially insists on doing it alone, but Kazumi argues the clones only wanted their friend to live happily, not to carry guilt. Together, Michiru, Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru combine their powers and defeat the Witches, freeing their friends&#039; souls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru arrive in Kamihama, with Kazumi eager to see her friends again now that she is truly human. At Mikazuki Villa, Tsuruno cooks alongside Manaka as they prepare a party for the visiting trio, and Kazumi impresses everyone by joining in. After the feast, the group moves to Banbanzai at Kazumi&#039;s request, where she saves the apricot tofu from being removed from the menu by suggesting an apricot tofu tiramisu that becomes an instant hit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kazumi Subaru#Side Story|Kazumi Subaru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The group then visits the beachside park and aquarium before deciding to shop for ingredients to make strawberry risotto in Manaka&#039;s kitchen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While shopping alone, Kazumi bumps into Yachiyo, who introduces Nemu and Sakurako Hiiragi. When Sakurako explains she is a zero-year-old created being, Kazumi reveals she was once the same way and explains her backstory as a clone of Michiru Kazusa who contracted with Kyubey to become human because her clone body was unstable and she wanted to protect her friends. Sakurako struggles to understand Kazumi&#039;s motivation, so Kazumi explains that her grandmother&#039;s strawberry risotto recipe represents hope, sacrifice, and togetherness. She invites Sakurako, Yachiyo, and Nemu to join the risotto party, believing Sakurako will understand humanity by watching everyone eat together. Sakurako agrees, and the two become buddies, understanding each other as beings who may understand each other best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day, the group gathers with Emiri, Akira, Rika, Ren, and Hinano. Chisato explains she helps others because she believes people should not waste their limited time on worry.

&lt;br /&gt;

She unexpectedly encounters Mifuyu and Mel&#039;s mother, who reassures them Mel was happy because of their love. Walking toward the cemetery, Yachiyo and Mifuyu are engulfed by the barrier of the Witch Etteilla—Mel&#039;s Witch. They struggle against both the Witch and their own fears: Mifuyu fears defeating it means forgetting Mel, while Yachiyo fears losing anyone else. Remembering the ghosts&#039; encouragement, Yachiyo convinces Mifuyu they must move forward because Mel and Kanae wanted them to. They defeat the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Pre-Arc 2==&lt;br /&gt;
The following events, while happening likely much earlier, are integral to understanding the story of Arc 2, while being mostly unrelated to other events. For this reason, they have been grouped here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Green Jasper Diviners===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening in late March, Chiharu watches her favorite detective drama at home. After it ends, her mother answers a phone call and becomes visibly shaken. She tells Chiharu they must leave tomorrow for the Tokime Clan&#039;s village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Green Jasper Diviners]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and her mother drive deep into the mountains to a village that does not appear on any map. They are greeted by a villager and brought to the home of Mikoshiba, the elderly head priestess. Mikoshiba explains she summoned them because she wants Chiharu to become a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, two young Diviners, Shizuka and Sunao, visit Chiharu. They explain that Diviners grant wishes to help the nation and fight invisible evil spirits called Devils. To prove it, they demonstrate their powers and defeat a Devil before Chiharu&#039;s eyes. Despite her mother&#039;s concerns, Chiharu decides to become a Diviner. Mikoshiba gives Chiharu her assigned wish: to uncover evidence of crimes being concealed by the National Police Agency.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu participates in the Diviner&#039;s Ceremony. She meets Kyubey, the god&#039;s envoy, and makes her wish. She becomes a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu wakes to find her wish has already come true. A newspaper reports that officials have suddenly reversed their position on the concealed crimes. She excitedly begins combat training with Shizuka&#039;s mother.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the three girls go hunting for Devils together. Chiharu successfully defeats her first Devil. Afterward, she asks what happens when a Diviner&#039;s jewel becomes completely tainted. Shizuka admits she does not know.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Chiharu senses a mysterious, unpleasant smell near the shrine. Shizuka finds her and warns her to stay away from restricted areas. Shizuka then visits Mikoshiba to ask about tainted jewels. Mikoshiba reveals that when a jewel becomes completely tainted, it signifies the Diviner&#039;s coming of age and their time to leave the village. Shizuka is satisfied with this answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu continues sensing the strange smell near the shrine. She investigates but stops herself from going too far. Later that night, a group of Underlings attacks her without a Labyrinth. Shizuka arrives and helps her defeat them. However, Shizuka&#039;s jewel becomes badly tainted from the effort.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Mikoshiba informs Shizuka that her jewel is nearly black and her coming-of-age ceremony will be held tomorrow. Chiharu is saddened but promises to meet Shizuka again outside the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu cannot sleep. She goes to the shrine to watch Shizuka&#039;s ceremony from a distance. She sees Mikoshiba and Shizuka speaking. Shizuka becomes distressed and cries out. Mikoshiba pushes her into the waterfall basin. Chiharu runs to save her and jumps in after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and Shizuka wake up in Sunao&#039;s home. Sunao confesses she was ordered by Mikoshiba to kill anyone who defied the village&#039;s will, including them. She hesitated after hearing Shizuka&#039;s words by the river. Shizuka reveals what Mikoshiba told her during the ceremony: Diviners eventually become Devils, and the &amp;quot;coming-of-age&amp;quot; ceremony is actually a killing ritual to dispose of them. No Diviner has ever left the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three realize the entire village may be inside a Devil&#039;s Labyrinth. They decide to confront Mikoshiba and the Devil.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They split up to search. Chiharu finds her mother and Shizuka&#039;s mother fighting Underlings. Shizuka finds the villagers hiding safely but notices her mother and Chiharu&#039;s mother are missing. Sunao searches Mikoshiba&#039;s house and finds a hidden laptop with audio files recording conversations about selling Diviners&#039; wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They regroup and deduce the Devil is beneath the Grand Shrine. They descend and find Mikoshiba controlling the Devil. She admits everything: the Diviners are sold, killed when used up, and the village exists to produce them for profit. She orders the Devil to kill them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three girls fight together. Chiharu binds the Devil, Shizuka attacks, and Sunao delivers the final blow. They defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikoshiba survives but claims to remember nothing. Sunao confronts her about the recordings. Before she can explain, she bites a hidden poison tooth and dies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu searches Mikoshiba&#039;s body and finds a book written in an ancient script. Because of her family&#039;s tradition, Chiharu and her mother can read it. They stay up all night deciphering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu explains what the book revealed. The Mikoshiba clan were originally guards who seized control of the village centuries ago. They created the rituals, learned to manipulate Devils, and hid the village inside a Labyrinth to produce and sell Diviners. The Wavering Deity is a Devil formed from all the discarded Diviners. Now that the Labyrinth is gone, it is returning to the village. They must defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka&#039;s mother gives them a treasured sword infused with generations of Diviners&#039; power. They intercept the Wavering Deity before it reaches the village. The Devil&#039;s power overwhelms them, and Shizuka nearly gives in to despair. Sunao and Chiharu encourage her. Chiharu reveals the book also described the Tokime&#039;s original beliefs: they chose their own wishes, left the village willingly, and accepted their fate with honor. Shizuka regains her resolve. Together, they use the sword to destroy the Wavering Deity and free the trapped Diviners.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, the village slowly recovers. The adults learn the truth and worry about their future without Mikoshiba&#039;s financial support. The three girls decide to find a way to avoid becoming Devils. They summon Kyubey, who tells them about Kamihama City, where an automatic purification system exists. If they can obtain it, they may escape their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls prepare for their journey. Shizuka struggles with the new terminology used outside, where Diviners are called Magical Girls and Devils are called Witches. Chiharu&#039;s ability to sense malice hasn&#039;t bothered her now that the village is free. Shizuka suggests they first contact all Tokime clan members across the country and recruit Magical Girls willing to join them. Once they are ready, they will travel together to Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The village falls into financial crisis after the elder dies, having squandered most of the wealth on bad investments. Chiharu, inspired by a drama about a Shogun helping villages find their charm, recruits Shizuka and Sunao to help. The two are glad for the change, as most Tokime tribes have been unreceptive to their stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touring the village with Shizuka and Sunao, Chiharu realizes she had been arrogant and now sees its charm—clear river, abundant mountain, kind villagers. The three propose developing tourism. Chiharu’s mother agrees after a trial run with her husband’s family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trial run is messy but the family enjoys the landscape, harvesting, fishing, and hospitality. They give useful feedback, and Chiharu’s uncle notes the village’s unique fruit. They stay overnight and leave pleased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villagers applaud Chiharu for noticing what they had overlooked. Her mother begins a proposal for tourism renovation funds, and the villagers regain their energy, working in tourism and seeking outside jobs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao go to a grocery store, but Shizuka freezes in the crowd, unable to complete a simple purchase because of her sheltered upbringing. Chiharu suggests they ease her into city life with ice cream instead. Shizuka loves it, eating so quickly she gets brain freeze.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way home, Shizuka admits her mother will lecture her again about visiting the city unprepared. She asks if the others’ parents gave them similar advice. Chiharu’s parents only warned her not to waste money or follow strangers, while Sunao confesses she has never told her parents about her excursions—something Shizuka finds surprising given Sunao’s usual obedience. Shizuka advises her to tell them eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Chiharu’s house, her mother brings up a village problem: a surplus of daidaikko fruit needs to be used before it spoils. A villager working in another town found a grocery store willing to feature it in a showcase, but the only available slots are the next two days, and transportation from the village is impossible except by Diviners. Shizuka and Chiharu propose the three of them run the exhibition themselves, which would also help Shizuka adjust to the city. Sunao hesitates but agrees. Chiharu’s mother consents only if they get permission from the store and from Sunao and Shizuka’s parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sunao’s mother interrogates her until she confesses the plan, then spirals into worry about middle schoolers working without a chaperone, carrying heavy loads, and coming home after dark. Sunao asks Chiharu and Shizuka to leave, promising she will convince her parents even if it takes all night. Outside, they reflect on how anxious Sunao’s mother is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sunao has secured permission. At the store, Shizuka volunteers for the cash register but cannot operate it correctly. Sunao is tense because her parents plan to visit the next day. Their first day is a struggle: Shizuka fumbles with the register, Chiharu is distracted by traces of malice in the stocking area, and Sunao gets trapped listening to an elderly customer’s endless stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After closing, Shizuka notes how worried Sunao’s parents seem, prompting Sunao to finally share her wish. She explains that her parents became relentlessly anxious after a trip to Tokime Village, questioning her constantly until she was nearly broken. Kyubey appeared, and she wished to erase the worries her parents had concerning her. The wish worked, but their fears simply shifted—now they worry endlessly about her safety as a magical girl. Sunao feels they are always upset with her, though Chiharu insists they only want her to be safe. Shizuka says Sunao must earn their trust, and tomorrow’s exhibition needs to go perfectly. With her friends’ support, Sunao agrees to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the three tackle the exhibition with renewed determination. The day starts poorly: Shizuka causes another register problem, Chiharu is pulled away by her sense of malice, and Sunao endures a difficult customer—all while Sunao’s parents enter the store. But Shizuka, moved from the register, begins advising the clerks on how to rearrange the store to better showcase the daidaikko. She persuades them to let Chiharu investigate on her own and to trust Sunao with customer service.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu catches a shoplifter who had been repeatedly returning to the store. Sunao’s patience draws crowds after the elderly woman she helped spreads the word, and the exhibition becomes a huge success. Sunao’s parents apologize, saying they realized they had failed to see how capable she has grown. Sunao thanks Chiharu and Shizuka, then asks her parents to allow her to visit Kamihama City; now that she has her friends by her side, she knows she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Crimson Resolve===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, [[Mitsuru Inami]] is approached by Kyubey to become a Magical Girl. Having grown with her mother always telling her she was no good at anything, she wishes to become completely normal, a wish she believes came true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitsuru Inami#Side Story|Mitsuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A Magical Girl transforms into a Witch before her kouhai Yuna Kureha, and Kyubey coldly confirms that all Magical Girls share this fate. The girls of Futatsugi slaughter every Kyubey in the city, and with no incubators left, new Witches stop appearing. Starved for Grief Seeds, the girls grow desperate, and the Bloody Tragedy begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Crimson Resolve]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna now leads Torayamachi, one of the largest gangs in Futatsugi, living by her fallen senpai&#039;s words to avoid hatred and selfishness. When Witches begin reappearing, the rival Ryuugasaki gang learns that Torayamachi has lost their secret weapon known as the Horse, and leader Juri Ooba declares war.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Janomiya, an undercover group of younger girls led by Ao Kasane, a girl named Hikaru accepts recruitment. Ao&#039;s true goal is to assassinate both Yuna and Juri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitsuru is approached by two other girls who mistake her for a new recruit for Torayamachi. Mitsuru joins Yuna&#039;s faction, hoping to blend in, but when Yuna leads them into battle against a rival faction, Mitsuru panics and hides until the fighting ends. After their defeat, Yuna suspects a spy, and fearing suspicion, Mitsuru flees and infiltrates the rival faction instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mitsuru scouts Torayamachi but is spotted, triggering another battle between the factions. During the fight, attacks aimed at Mitsuru unconsciously miss her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt; After this she gains a reputation as a &amp;quot;Ghost Magical Girl,&amp;quot; which has attacks aimed at her always deflected and hitting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna welcomes Hikaru, who claims to be fleeing Ryuugasaki, and assigns her to guard their Grief Seeds. Days pass with no attack, and Yuna&#039;s girls grow restless. To lift their spirits, Yuna reveals that the Horse is alive and watching from the shadows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri&#039;s lieutenants advise waiting to let Torayamachi&#039;s tension wear them down. After interrogating a captured thief, Juri learns of Torayamachi&#039;s defensive preparations and decides to strike in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ao encounters the Bat of Monzenbashi, a former gang leader who once exploited her. With Hikaru&#039;s help, Ao subdues and captures her rather than killing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night before battle, Juri meets Yuna on a bridge. She admits she dragged everyone into this because Yuna would not fight her otherwise, thanks her for accepting her sickness, and promises to burn her down when they next meet. Ao watches from a distance, planning to strike as the snake while the tiger and dragon clash.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the battle begins across multiple bridges. Yuna&#039;s forces push Ranka&#039;s squad back, but Juri breaks through Sakuya&#039;s defense, killing one of her girls. As both sides converge on Monzenbashi, Ao lures both leaders to a construction site where Janomiya lies in wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Janomiya attacks, wounding Juri, Hikaru reveals herself as Torayamachi&#039;s Horse, a spy planted in Janomiya from the beginning. Yuna knew everything. Janomiya is defeated, and Ao surrenders. Yuna spares her life and offers Juri an open door, but Juri swears she will break it down and drag her out. As police sirens wail, Yuna weeps over what she has done.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Juri recovers in an empty base with only Ranka remaining loyal. Ao hunts for Ranka, determined to kill her before joining Torayamachi. Hikaru pleads with Ao to return, promising that Yuna will make her dream come true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna attempts to negotiate with Ryuugasaki girls, but a meeting by the river turns into an ambush. Two of her girls are killed. She fights desperately, thinking of Hikaru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ao reaches Ryuugasaki&#039;s base, finding only the wounded Juri. Juri taunts her, but Ao refuses to join her, still believing in Yuna. Ranka contacts Ao through their video game, asking to meet alone at Janomiya&#039;s base the following night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The meeting is a trap, as Ranka has brought the Bat of Monzenbashi. As Ao fights Ranka and Hikaru fights the Bat, Ranka reveals that Yuna&#039;s meeting is also a trap. Hikaru runs to save Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the river, Yuna is surrounded. Juri arrives and challenges her to a one-on-one fight. At Janomiya&#039;s base, the other Janomiya girls arrive to help Ao corner the Bat. Ranka sincerely apologizes for everything, and Ao hesitates to deliver the final blow. At the river, Hikaru engages Juri to protect Yuna, whose Soul Gem is badly tainted. Juri refuses to kill her in this state and retreats, promising to fight again when Yuna is at full strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Most of Torayamachi has left, following Yuna&#039;s instructions to join Ryuugasaki and avoid more bloodshed. Only Hikaru remains, refusing to leave her. Ao admits she has gained respect for Yuna but remains undecided about joining.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakuya brings the missing Torayamachi girl home. The girl reveals she went to Kamihama City and joined the Wings of the Magius, an organization that built a system to lure Witches from across the country, preventing them from appearing elsewhere. The Bloody Tragedy was their fault. Yuna, hearing the screams of her fallen comrades, vows to make Kamihama pay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri meet at the construction site where Yuna&#039;s senpai died. Yuna, running on pure rage, demands Juri become hers and help with her revenge. She overpowers the wounded Juri and prepares to kill her, but Hikaru intervenes, embracing Yuna and calming her down. Ao arrives with Kyubey, who confirms everything and offers to help them reach Kamihama in exchange for a truce. Yuna accepts, and Juri, Ao, Ranka, Sakuya, and Hikaru agree to join her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, Juri, Ao, and Hikaru visit the sites where their friends died, offering flowers and vowing revenge. Yuna, Juri, and Ao drink each other&#039;s blood, swearing to never fight again. They are Promised Blood. That night, their path to Kamihama begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Ash Grey Revolution===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Yukuni, Asahi learns from classmates that the stone monument she discovered will be researched. She meets fellow magical girls Lavi and Sasha when they respond to a distress call, only to witness two magical girls witch out before them when no Grief Seeds are available. Kyubey confirms this fate, and Asahi shoots him. A local girl named Urara Yume witnesses everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Ash Grey Revolution]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, the trio struggles with the truth. Lavi is forced to reveal her identity to save her friend Shirogane from a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Sasha asks the others to be her friends and help her face reality. They begin fighting together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara begins subtly supporting them on her internet broadcast with Kurara. Asahi saves her classmate Kuroda from a Witch&#039;s Kiss, revealing her identity. He asks her to help him confess to Haitani at the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara seeks out the trio and learns the truth about Magical Girls. She offers to introduce them as guests on her festival broadcast to tell Yukuni about their existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Yukuni All-star Festival, the trio sense the Witches of the two original girls. While fighting them, one Witch escapes. A truck explodes at the festival grounds, killing Haitani. Kuroda blames Asahi and all magical girls, vowing revenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following week, public backlash intensifies. Kuroda forms an extermination group against magical girls while Shirogane forms a protector group. The trio witness another girl witch out after being cornered. Lavi takes responsibility publicly on a broadcast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio endure daily harassment. They meet folklorist Tasuke Satomi, who takes a knife for Asahi and explains his theory about magical girls being erased from history by an unseen force. He wants to help them try again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Public opinion slowly shifts. The six remaining magical girls work together, restoring some trust. Three of them sacrifice themselves rather than witch out, asking Kuroda to make peace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1725.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At a unity ceremony, the Witch that caused the festival explosion appears. Asahi summons the dead to help the exterminators find closure. The summoned spirits suddenly relive their final moments, causing a bus to crash and kill everyone aboard, including Shirogane. Urara contracts to save her dying friend Kurara, who then rejects her for letting others die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tasuke theorizes the universe&#039;s immune system caused this. He suggests eliminating all Magical Girls and Witches to create a custom preventing future contracts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the days following, students blame the trio. Kyubey suggests they go to Kamihama City to observe attempts there to publicize magical girls. Tasuke agrees they should investigate. Lavi holds a broken pocket watch with five minutes remaining until midnight, when she will finally give up. Tasuke calls it the folklore of midnight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Arc 2 Prologue===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a long time before the start of Arc 2, but it is central to its story. To keep up linearity, it&#039;s been placed here despite likely taking place a long time ago, possibly during the time of Mirrors Story, which takes place during the Undated Period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kagome Satori]], a recent transfer student, is attacked by a Familiar in the Mirrors Labyrinth. The creature demands she sign a &amp;quot;Written Oath&amp;quot; to destroy Magical Girls. Kagome, who doesn&#039;t know anything about Magical Girls, is terrified and considers writing her name on the document to appease it, however Iroha arrives and defeats the Familiar.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Kagome learns the truth about Magical Girls and Witches. She is distressed that Magical Girls fight and die in secret, unknown and unthanked by the people they protect. Tasuke Satomi advises Kagome that, as someone who knows the truth, her role is to &amp;quot;record&amp;quot; and spread awareness of the Magical Girls&#039; plight, as this could be a way to save them. Kagome decides against making a contract with Kyubey, prioritizing this promise to record their reality. Kyubey explains that the system, where Magical Girls become Witches, is necessary for the universe&#039;s energy and humanity&#039;s survival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Sweet Beanie: /* Monogatari Series Collab */&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This article details the events and stories taking place in, during and between the chapters of Arc 1 of [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]]. The narrative is structured to show the convergence of two distinct flows of action:&lt;br /&gt;
# The first is the personal, undated journey of [[Iroha Tamaki]] within the anomalous Kamihama City, which is much longer than Homura Akemi&#039;s usual 32 day loop. Her story begins on its own internal timeline, where the sequence of events is more important than specific calendar dates.&lt;br /&gt;
# The second is the dated countdown to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival from the original series, which starts with Day 1, Tuesday the 16th and ends on Day 32, Friday the 16th. Only the latter half of Homura&#039;s timeline is able to be approximately dated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the arc progresses, these two timelines intersect, and due to this, the latter half of the story is much easier to date. It should be noted that the timeline of the Magia Record game is highly anomalous, and thus any attempts at dating it are an educated guess at best. Therefore, this chronology should be used primarily to understand the sequence of major events, rather than as a calendar. In lack of contradictory context clues, the release date, or order of release of the event were used for their placement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that many of the events of Magia Record were written with the focus being on having fun side stories involving the characters, and thus, a definitive placement in the timeline wasn&#039;t a priority for many of them. For example, there&#039;s inconsistencies such as references to the same characters entering Kamihama for the first time in different events, or even cases where an event&#039;s tone at the time it is supposedly taking place in would be nigh-illogical considering other circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, the definitive time frame for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival was only established in [[Scene 0]], itself written and released after the majority of Magia Record and entirely after Arc 1 was finished. Notably, the [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]], which takes place supposedly shortly after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, itself happens during February. For these reasons, it is impossible to definitively state the order of events, or to accurately measure them against that of the original series, as with the addition of these inaccuracies, it is possible that none of the time frames of the original universe are applicable here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, given all these inconsistencies, any specific dates or placements in the Magia Record timelines, especially Arc 1, should be taken with a grain of salt, unless they definitively continue into one another in a clear sequence (such as the Main Story and Another Story in isolation). The original series&#039; timeframes are used for organizational and cross-reference purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The timeline of this Universe continues with [[Timeline/Magia Record/Arc 2]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==First Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha Tamaki is going to Kamihama by train, she is caught in [[Boxwood|Boxwood&#039;s Barrier]]. [[Kuroe]] is also on the same train from Takarazaki to Kamihama, as she&#039;d heard the rumor that Magical Girls can be saved there, as well as had the same dream herself. The train is engulfed by the Labyrinth and Kuroe wants to help Iroha whom she&#039;s never met before. Kuroe leaps out of the train&#039;s window to help her, but she quickly falls out of the mobile Labyrinth straight into Kamihama City, chastising herself for being weak. Kuroe is greeted by [[Mifuyu Azusa]] who was trailing the signature of the Witch and Kuroe is quickly recruited into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Little Bird&#039;s Star]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha herself arrives in Kamihama City, compelled by recurring dreams of an unknown girl in a hospital room. Believing this girl to be a key to a buried memory, Iroha begins searching the city&#039;s Witch Labyrinths for clues. During her search, she rescues another Magical Girl later identified as Kaede Akino from aggressive Familiars. The girl warns Iroha about the unusual strength of Kamihama&#039;s Witches and, upon learning Iroha is searching for a small Kyubey, mentions having seen it in a specific Labyrinth. Kaede notes that the small Kyubey has been the only Kyubey around recently.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 1: Iroha: The Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha locates the Labyrinth and finds the small Kyubey who is incapable of speech, though Iroha can somehow understand it anyway, but is soon overwhelmed by a horde of Familiars. During the struggle, she has a vivid vision of the hospital room from her dreams. She is saved by Momoko Togame, who explains that the Witches in Kamihama are too powerful for most Magical Girls to handle alone. Momoko takes Iroha to meet Mitama Yakumo, the &amp;quot;Coordinator,&amp;quot; who can perform a &amp;quot;Soul Gem Alignment&amp;quot; to enhance a Magical Girl&#039;s power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the alignment, Iroha has another, clearer vision of the hospital room and the girl, feeling a strong sense of affection and nostalgia. After the procedure, Mitama reveals that she can see into the pasts of those whose Soul Gems she touches and asks Iroha what her wish was. Iroha is horrified to realize she cannot remember her own wish or the identity of the girl in her dreams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Driven by this revelation, Iroha rushes out to continue her search, but is intercepted by the powerful Magical Girl Yachiyo Nanami. Yachiyo, believing Iroha is not strong enough to survive in Kamihama, challenges her to a duel to force her to leave the city. Though Yachiyo wins, Momoko intervenes, and a compromise is reached: Yachiyo will allow Iroha to stay if she and Momoko can defeat a specific Witch, the Sandbox Witch, before Yachiyo can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The small Kyubey reappears and leads Iroha and Momoko directly to the Sandbox Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Although Yachiyo defeats the Witch first, she gives Iroha a final chance to prove herself by defeating the Witch alone, which Iroha successfully does. Yachiyo admits she thought Iroha would be fine from the start. However, Yachiyo then reveals her true objective: she believes the small Kyubey is a dangerous irregularity and moves to eliminate it. Yachiyo explains she was trying to draw the small Kyubey out, as all the other Kyubeys in Kamihama have disappeared. Iroha throws herself in the way to protect it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the confrontation, as Iroha protects the small Kyubey, by touching it a flood of memories is unlocked. She remembers her little sister, Ui Tamaki, who was chronically ill and hospitalized. Iroha recalls her wish to Kyubey: &amp;quot;Please cure Ui! Make my precious little sister healthy!&amp;quot; She also realizes with horror that she had completely forgotten Ui&#039;s existence, living her life as if she never had a sister, with no memory of her until that moment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha awakens back at Mitama&#039;s office, having been carried there by Momoko after fainting. She explains her recovered memory to Momoko and Mitama. Despite their warnings that the memory could be false, Iroha declares that she must continue her investigation in Kamihama. Now her goal is not just to understand her dreams, but to find the cause of Ui&#039;s disappearance and uncover the truth behind her own forgotten wish. Momoko resolves to help Iroha, and Mitama agrees to help as well for a price. Mitama then asks Iroha to give the small Kyubey a name. Iroha asks Lil&#039; Kyubey if he will help her find Ui, and he agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Second Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, now at her home in Takarazaki City, understands the reason for the empty space in her room: it once belonged to her sister, Ui. She recalls memories of Ui and her two friends from the hospital, Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, even remembering specific details like how Nemu loved writing and published stories online, or how Touka was very smart. Iroha resolves to visit the hospital to find them, hopeful they will remember Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: The Rule of Ending Friendships]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0001 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* While Mitama is running her shop, she reads a detective novel called “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” A white tabby kitten from next door starts visiting her during this time and she names him Doyle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 1: The Many-Worlds Interpretation Poesy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko comes for an adjustment and sits in the back to keep Mitama company. After a client leaves, Mitama feels strange and asks Momoko about the previous day after sunset. Momoko says they stayed in the shop watching over Iroha, but Mitama saw a memory during the adjustment: in that memory, she and Momoko patrolled an alley together and Mitama realizes the memory does not match reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha goes to the hospital with Lil&#039; Kyubey&#039;s help to use her cellphone but is unable to locate Touka and Nemu, as she does not have a visitor pass and is not family. She reflects on their personalities and their frequent arguments, which Ui often mediated. As Iroha recalls one of their fights where they declared they were &amp;quot;not friends anymore,&amp;quot; she is approached by Yachiyo. She warns Iroha about a dangerous Rumor in Kamihama called the &amp;quot;Rule of Ending Friendships.&amp;quot; She explains that if two friends fight and one later apologizes to make up, a monster will kidnap the one who apologized. Yachiyo states this is one of several Rumors in Kamihama that have become reality, leading to people disappearing and tells Iroha to be careful. Iroha later discusses this rumor with Mitama, who explains that Momoko is not likely to believe anything from Yachiyo, as they stopped getting along after Yachiyo became a model.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after this conversation, Iroha witnesses an argument between Momoko Togame&#039;s teammates, Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. Momoko asks Iroha to catch Rena, but Rena fights her off and even transforms into Iroha to surprise her. Momoko formally introduces Kaede and explains the fight is over sweets. She figures Rena will apologize later. The argument escalates, and both girls declare they are &amp;quot;not friends anymore&amp;quot; before Rena storms off. Momoko dismisses Iroha&#039;s concern about the Rumor, asserting that rumors are not true. Iroha notes that Momoko seems dismissive of the information specifically because it came from Yachiyo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami enters Kamihama City and saves Rena from a Stacey Witch. Rena reveals that Kamihama has the opposite problem to other cities: an overabundance of powerful Witches. Mami realizes Kamihama is an anomaly. While investigating, she encounters a powerful Familiar and a strange, non-Witch Barrier, solidifying her decision to investigate the city&#039;s mysteries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: Odd One Out]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Undated Period==&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama performs adjustments on more Magical Girls and sees more memories that should not exist. She pieces them together and finds a Kamihama slightly different from her own which she dubs the “Alternate Kamihama.” Over the next two days, several Magical Girls with memories of the other world come for adjustments and Mitama does not reveal whose memories she saw out of respect to her clients&#039; privacy, but she shares information with Momoko without naming names.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that in the Alternate Kamihama, Momoko and Mitama are a team of two, Yachiyo acts like Momoko’s big sister, Kaede is on Nanaka’s team and that Kako is missing. There is also a serious rivalry between Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team in the Sankyo Ward, as both teams had lost their youngest members, Kako and Ayame. Yachiyo is also in charge there but struggles to keep the order. Kako and Ayame are friends in this world, but Mitama has not seen either of them in the other world. Mitama almost reveals private information about Karin and an older student but stops herself. A small detail is that Mitama asks Momoko about an exclusive wallpaper of the Mocha Bunny, and Momoko sends her a link. Mitama notices the crucial detail that in the Alternate Kamihama, Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red, but in their world, it is blue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, a wounded Magical Girl is brought to Mitama’s shop and Mitama heals her with adjustments. This girl has more memories of the Alternate Kamihama than any previous client and the situation there is dire. Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team both blame each other for crossing a line first and the conflict spreads from Sankyo Ward to other wards. Three friends from the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira, Seika and Mito, had their Soul Gems taken and were locked in separate rooms and a voice from inside their Soul Gems asked for the words in their hearts. The three answered “Four-leaf clover” and got their gems back, but one girl fainted from fatigue. Mitama suspects someone mistook them for a threat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks about Iroha and Kyubey, worrying about Iroha in the other world. Mitama says no one has seen Iroha there and that the small Kyubey is also missing, but the normal Kyubey still exists in the Alternate Kamihama. Momoko has not seen Kyubey in their own world for months. Mitama refuses to share more due to confidentiality and calls herself an unreliable narrator, so Momoko agrees to stay as her investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about how the memories were gathered, and that a few days ago, a group of friends from Kamihama ended up in the Alternate Kamihama. They were together one second and scattered the next, and though they searched for each other and talked to many Magical Girls along the way, they noticed something was wrong. One of them said they cannot tell anyone how they got there and Mitama almost forgot to mention that Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red in the other world, yet Momoko is not impressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Doyle meows at Mitama and she thinks he wants her to apologize to Momoko and she also thinks about the one secret she cannot tell anyone: the Alternate Kamihama is a world without Witches. Then she finds a phone that a client left behind and she accidentally turns it on, seeing that the wallpaper shows Mocha Bunny with a red bow tie, making Mitama wonder if the phone came from the other world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama keeps the phone, as she cannot return it yet because schedules do not match. She learns about Rumors, or Uwasa in Kamihama: mysterious beings that make rumors come true. Momoko tells her about the Rumor of the Rule of Ending Friendships, which nearly trapped Kaede and Rena forever. Mitama reveals that in the Alternate Kamihama, Kaede and Rena are very close and never argue, but that Rena works alone there. Momoko is no longer surprised by anything Mitama says.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko advises Mitama to record all details about the Alternate Kamihama while they are fresh and Mitama starts writing “The Case Files of the Coordinator.” She notes the color of Mocha Bunny’s bow tie, team relationships, and the disappearances of Kako and Ayame. While writing, Nanaka walks in to return a borrowed book and overhears Mitama say that Kako disappeared, prompting Mitama to explain everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka asks many questions, joking about Mitama’s inability to keep secrets. Then she asks seriously why the Sankyo Ward is the source of conflict in the other world and she suspects there is more to the situation. She asks Mitama to tell her about the incident that sparked the conflict and after hearing her out, Nanaka says she will keep the information to herself for now. She advises Mitama to talk directly to the owner of the phone from the other world and that the girls who ended up there know how they got there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama meets the girl who left the phone and she does not hesitate to tell the truth because Mitama would see it in her memories anyway. The girl explains the Rumor of Parallel Memories. The rumor says that if you get an item of proof from a parallel world and pray to the central tower, you can travel to and from a parallel Kamihama. The world they visited was a dream projected by the Rumor and it shows a world that “could be.” The girl and her friends all had the same dream at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama tells Momoko the Alternate Kamihama was just a dream and Momoko is relieved. Mitama explains the Mandela effect phenomenon: many people misremember the same fact, leading to a theory that those are memories from a parallel world. The Rumor of Parallel Memories lets you enter a dream of such a world and a lot of girls fell victim to it, including Ren, Kokoro, and Karin, who also got a strange sketchbook and ended up in the world of her own manga, which was traumatic. The dream world is dangerous because one&#039;s are asleep the entire time, but to leave, they can simply wish to go back. The issue is that if someone does not know that, they could waste away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks what kind of world the girls went to and Mitama admits it was a world without Witches. Momoko is upset Mitama kept that secret and asks if all worlds without Witches are that violent, but Mitama says no, clarifying that the fighting in the Alternate Kamihama had nothing to do with Witches. Their own world has Witches and people still fight and that the Alternate Kamihama is just one possibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitama tells Nanaka the Rumor explanation, but Nanaka still wonders why there was so much fighting, and that not all worlds without Witches would be that hostile. She thinks someone is behind the conflict and she names Hanna Sarasa, who is dead in this world. Nanaka says the targets in the Alternate Kamihama were all connected to Hanna, and that the method matches Hanna’s style: using suggestion to bend wills, laying traps, spreading rumors, making people doubt everyone. The trap for the Daito Apartment Complex girls feels like someone who enjoys watching others suffer. While Mitama is convinced, she notes the Alternate Kamihama is not real and Nanaka also agrees it is a nightmare that never became reality because Hanna died. Then Nanaka mentions a recent incident: a certain book nearly destroyed her friendship with Kako. It felt deliberate, but thankfully Hanna is dead, though Mitama becomes unsettled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0002 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama asks herself why she is still looking into the case, recalling two girls with bad experiences. Felicia saw a nightmare in the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth and was despondent for days, but she does not remember anything. Reira also tapped a weird link in a Magical Girls’ group chat and she started having nightmares that made things awkward between her and her best friend Seika. Mitama notes that nightmares testing friendships cannot be a coincidence and that the girls who ended up in the Alternate Kamihama also got into trouble because of a phone. Mitama connects the dots and creates a vague profile: a mean-spirited person who likes to show nightmares and test hearts, using a phone, located in Endless Mirrors, the large Labyrinth inside the Mirror Witch’s Mansion and where all the magic of Kamihama gathers. Mitama decides to take a look and asks Reira about the group chat. The account that posted the link has been deleted, but the culprit might still watch with another account. Mitama posts a message asking if anyone has had bad experiences related to Endless Mirrors, hoping the culprit will see it. She then receives a video chat invitation from a caller ID: H. S.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna Sarasa appears on the video call and says she is not the Hanna Sarasa that Mitama knows. She is the Hanna from a parallel world and that she is glad Mitama finally figured things out. She has been playing hide-and-seek and running out of time. She is in Endless Mirrors and tells Mitama to come alone, claiming she can tell Mitama about the serious consequences of her wish, which Mitama kept secret. She wonders if her wish brought Hanna to this world and she closes her shop early to go to Endless Mirrors. Momoko notices something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside Endless Mirrors, Hanna watches Mitama through copies, using the power of suggestion to control people. Mitama asks if the Alternate Kamihama is where Hanna is from and she confirms. She claims the world Mitama assumed was just a dream actually exists and that the dream shown by the Rumor happens to be exactly like Hanna’s world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna explains there is a narrow tunnel connecting the two worlds and that the exit in Mitama’s world is inside Endless Mirrors. A Magical Girl with the power to connect spaces, possibly the alternate version of Shizuku, was forced by Hanna to use all her power to open the hole. Hanna wanted to find Mikoto Sena, who had disappeared in her world. The tunnel is too small for a person, only big enough for a phone, but Hanna used the copies and Familiars in Endless Mirrors to do her work. She had tossed a phone through the hole and waited for someone to pick it up, and the Rumor of Parallel Memories did the rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna admits she is not actually in Endless Mirrors, but in an abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama. The background image was fake and the tunnel will close in a few days. The Endless Mirrors Familiars built a magical projector that can exchange things of equal value between the two worlds, an if Mitama turns the handle, they will trade places: Mitama goes to the Alternate Kamihama, and Hanna comes to Mitama’s world. Hanna has been using her power of suggestion on Mitama and she makes her turn the handle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in the dark abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama and Hanna arrives in Mitama’s world. Hanna explains her full plan: she wanted to find Mikoto and she tested her methods on Nanaka and Kako, then on the Daito girls and Felicia. She left subtle hints to lure Mitama to Endless Mirrors and Mitama’s curiosity and guilt made her the perfect bait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, who had followed Mitama, telepathically messages her and Momoko catches Hanna off-guard. She turns the handle of the projector in reverse and Mitama returns to her own world while Hanna goes back to the Alternate Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The tunnel closes a few days later and Momoko does not remember much of the incident. Mitama does not either; her last memory is reaching for the handle and Momoko explains what happened. The projector is destroyed, and Hanna cannot return. Mitama warns everyone to stay away from Endless Mirrors for a few days and nothing else happens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects on how she almost became the kitten killed by curiosity. But it was guilt that trapped her instead. She decides will continue to act as a neutral Coordinator, hiding secrets behind confidentiality and she plays with Doyle using a new foxtail cat toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after the initial argument, Momoko notes that Rena Minami has not apologized to Kaede, which is unusual behavior. Kaede spends her time alone, and Momoko expresses worry for her. During this time, Iroha encounters a witch and rescues Kaede. Kaede admits she was running away from Momoko to avoid being forced to see Rena, and that she wants to apologize but doesn&#039;t think she can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several more days later, Momoko decides to intervene in the dispute. Iroha offers to help, and Momoko accepts, promising to aid Iroha in her search for Ui in return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko devises a plan to lure Rena and Kaede to the same location. The plan involves waiting for Rena at her student committee meeting. Iroha waits for a long time, but Momoko calls to say the meeting was cancelled and Rena went home early. Momoko tells Iroha to find Rena at the game center. Iroha finds Rena at the arcade playing a game and attempts to lure her to an abandoned construction site with a false story about a live show from Sayuki Fumino, Rena&#039;s favorite idol. Rena sees through the ruse. Kaede arrives and confronts Rena directly, demanding an apology. When Rena refuses, Kaede attempts to apologize herself. Rena reacts with panic and tries to stop her, revealing her belief in the Rule of Ending Friendships Rumor and her fear that an apology would cause Kaede to be taken. Rena denies this and runs off. Iroha and Kaede chase her and run into Momoko, but Kaede realizes it&#039;s a transformed Rena. Rena returns to her normal appearance and admits she believes in the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Kaede completes her apology, a strange Labyrinth, distinct from a Witch&#039;s Barrier, manifests. Monstrous Familiars appear, seize Kaede, and drag her away, confirming the Rumor&#039;s power. Rena runs off, determined to find a solution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Iroha regroup and Momoko expresses more concern over Rena Minami&#039;s departure than Kaede Akino&#039;s capture, but trusts that Rena had a reason.  Iroha suggests asking Mitama for help. Momoko reveals that Mitama accepts payment in Grief Seeds, and she&#039;s running low. Lil&#039; Kyubey then finds Rena, who was looking for Momoko. They follow the residual magic trail and find Rena, who reveals she sought information from Yachiyo on how to counter the Rumor. The group returns to the abandoned construction site, where Rena shouts an apology to Kaede to lure out the entity. The Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth manifests, and a brainwashed Kaede appears, followed by monstrous Familiars. The Uwasa captures Rena too and Yachiyo arrives, confirms the Rumor&#039;s power, and joins the fight. Yachiyo subdues the possessed Kaede, and Momoko and Iroha proceed deeper into the Labyrinth and find the Uwasa, &amp;quot;Ms. Staircase,&amp;quot; which has also possessed Rena. Momoko and Iroha try attacking the witch, but it has no effect. Yachiyo then arrives, having knocked Kaede out. Yachiyo admits she doesn&#039;t know how to defeat the witch either. Kaede returns and teams up with a now brainwashed Rena. Yachiyo knocks them out and notes the witch may have increased their powers, at the cost of darkening their Soul Gems. Yachiyo catches up and defeats both possessed girls to neutralize the threat without serious injury. Iroha proposes a coordinated attack to counteract the Uwasa&#039;s nature, so Iroha, Momoko, and Yachiyo combine their attacks and destroy the Uwasa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Yachiyo provides a Grief Seed to revive the exhausted Kaede and Iroha also uses her healing powers to help awaken her. Yachiyo identifies the entity as an &amp;quot;Uwasa,&amp;quot; a being distinct from Witches and Familiars that exists to protect a Rumor. Afterward, the girls find Rena and Kaede. Kaede awakens and reconciles with Rena. The four girls then all share pudding together, affirming their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, to fulfill her promise, Momoko has Rena use her transformation magic to investigate the hospital records. Rena confirms that Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi were real patients discharged around the same time as Ui. However, Rena finds no record of Ui Tamaki&#039;s existence at the hospital. Despite this setback, Iroha resolves to continue her search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Iroha visits Mitama for a Soul Gem alignment. During the procedure, Mitama&#039;s hunger causes Iroha to see visions of food. Momoko arrives and notes Mitama&#039;s treatments are ineffective when she is hungry. The three go to Mitama&#039;s kitchen, where her dangerous cooking prompts Iroha to recall memories of cooking for her sister, Ui. Iroha remembers a specific incident where she burned hamburg steak for Ui in the hospital, but her mother brought a replacement, and Ui enjoyed the meal regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha enters the Mirror Mansion and finds Mitama already there. Mitama warns her to be careful and explains the mansion is the lair of the Mirror Witch. A familiar throws Iroha into a barrier where she fights a copy of herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side|Mirrors Story Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After defeating the duplicate, Iroha returns to the entrance. Mitama explains the barrier is populated by replicas and the Mirror Witch lies at the end. Iroha decides to prepare herself to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 2: Journey to the End|Mirrors Story Layer 2: Journey to the End]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the false Kaede is defeated, Kaede explains she entered with Momoko and Rena but got separated. Yachiyo explains the barrier constantly changes. The group returns to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 4: Lost in the Layers|Mirrors Story Layer 4: Lost in the Layers]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They find Ria Ami, who claims to be Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo barely remembers her. Ria says she cannot forgive the fakes for duplicating her beauty. Ria ignores Yachiyo&#039;s warning about a mirror and Yachiyo suddenly disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...|Mirrors Story Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After leaving the barrier, the group departs. Iroha hangs back with Mitama and says she felt something off in the barrier. Mitama encourages her to go deeper but warns her not to lose herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors11&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss|Mirrors Story Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after the defeat of the Uwasa of Ending Friendships, Iroha has found no new clues about Ui, Touka Satomi, or Nemu Hiiragi. Kaede tells Iroha and Rena a rumor that the children kidnapped by the previous Uwasa returned after its defeat. This gives Iroha the idea that if she defeats other Rumors, people trapped by them, including Ui, might be freed. She recalls a conversation where Ui spoke about imagination becoming reality, which strengthens her resolve. Iroha decides to actively investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors and she meets Mitama, who suggests Iroha look into a rumor about a shrine in Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: Kamihama Rumor Files]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, in Mizuna Ward, Iroha has no success finding information about the shrine rumor. She meets Tsuruno Yui, a Magical Girl who calls herself the &amp;quot;Mightiest.&amp;quot; Tsuruno tells Iroha about the &amp;quot;Séance Shrine&amp;quot; rumor, which claims it can reunite people with those they yearn to see. Iroha decides this is a promising lead to find Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsuruno tasks Iroha with investigating a local legend about a tragic couple, which may connect to the Séance Shrine rumor. Tsuruno explains the folk tale in detail: a woman whose lover was killed found a paper with his handwriting, went to the place written on it, and was able to meet his ghost. She suggests Iroha investigate the path while she investigates shrines. Iroha completes a stamp rally related to the legend. She discovers the path is part of a town renewal project meant for couples and finds she only has half the map, requiring a partner with a &amp;quot;Sheet B.&amp;quot; Yachiyo appears, coincidentally in possession of Sheet B. They combine their sheets, which reveals a map that leads them to Mizuna Shrine. Before they leave, Yachiyo points out Iroha dropped her notebook, which Iroha hurriedly claims is her homework. At the final stamp rally location, a woman makes them confess their feelings for each other to get a matchmaking charm. Afterward, Yachiyo notices Iroha is writing in a &amp;quot;Kamihama Mystery Notes&amp;quot; notebook, and Iroha admits she&#039;s copying Yachiyo. Yachiyo determines this is not the Séance Shrine, and they part ways. Iroha agrees to help Tsuruno investigate further the next day. Later, Iroha spots a shrine on a rooftop from a train.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami discusses Kamihama City&#039;s anomalies with Kyubey, who agrees to share information. She then meets Kyoko and informs her about the high concentration of Witches in Kamihama. Kyoko is eager to hunt there but promises to leave if it becomes too dangerous. Mami remains concerned about the Witch shortage elsewhere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha investigates the rooftop shrine location. She senses strong magic, enters a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, and is overwhelmed by powerful Familiars. Yachiyo arrives and assists her and together, they defeat the Witch. After the battle, a store sale gives Yachiyo a new idea after she uncharacteristically begged Iroha for help getting to the sale. She deduces the Séance Shrine is Mizuna Shrine, but it must be visited at night just like in the folk tale. Yachiyo invites Iroha to investigate the shrine that night, and Iroha requests to bring Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno sneak into Mizuna Shrine after hours. Tsuruno reveals that she and Yachiyo are former teammates and Yachiyo explains the Rumor of the Séance Shrine: those who write a name on a wooden plaque and pray at the shrine will be reunited with that person, but risk being trapped in bliss. They perform the ritual. Iroha prays to be reunited with Ui. Tsuruno provokes the Uwasa, which manifests and attacks. Yachiyo urges Iroha to complete the ritual as the Uwasa&#039;s minions approach and Iroha does so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha finds herself alone in a twilight version of the shrine. A false version of Ui appears but only repeats a cryptic message: &amp;quot;To change your fate, come to Kamihama City... Here, Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;quot; The illusion then shatters and Iroha locates Yachiyo, who is confronted by a manifestation of her missing friend, Mifuyu Azusa. Yachiyo determines this Mifuyu is an imposter created by the Uwasa and the two defeat her. Afterward, Iroha uses her Grief Seed to purify Yachiyo&#039;s Soul Gem, and they realize they are both searching for someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami encounters Kaede, who is hesitating to enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Mami invites Kaede to join her, and they defeat the Witch together. Afterwards, Kaede tells Mami about her recent experience with a &amp;quot;Rumor,&amp;quot; an entity with a magical signature unlike a Witch or Magical Girl. Mami dismisses the story as a coincidence but is intrigued by the unknown energy. To avoid involving Kaede in further conflict, Mami decides to investigate the Rumor alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: It Looks Just Like Us]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno joins with the two of them and the Uwasa of the Séance Shrine manifests to attack them directly. The trio&#039;s attacks prove ineffective and Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem becomes critically corrupted during the fight. As she nears her limit, an unknown power erupts from within her. This power, her Doppel, which consumes the impurities in her Soul Gem, destroys the Uwasa and leaves her Soul Gem completely purified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the battle, Mami enters the Rumor&#039;s Barrier and witnesses Iroha unleash her Doppel. Mistaking it for a human-disguised Witch, Mami attacks Iroha, who tries and fails to summon her Doppel again to defend herself. The confrontation is interrupted by Momoko Togame, forcing Mami to retreat, but she vows to pursue Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Shizuku asks why Madoka helped. Madoka says it was because Shizuku looked like she was in pain. Shizuku calls Madoka kind. Madoka says it is bad to be alone. Shizuku says being alone is fine and she will find where she belongs. Madoka suggests Shizuku could create her own place to belong. Homura returns with drinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Shizuku realizes Madoka made a place for herself by becoming a Magical Girl. She thanks Madoka for giving her hope and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka makes an offering at a shrine, praying for everyone&#039;s happiness. It rains and stops, leaving Madoka wet. A girl offers her a handkerchief and explains they missed the bus. Madoka notices the girl has a book she loves. The girl admits it is her favorite. Madoka introduces herself and the girl says her name is Kako Natsume.

** Later that day, Mami finds Kyoko and, relieved she has not yet gone to Kamihama, recounts the event and describes Iroha as a &amp;quot;humanoid Witch.&amp;quot; She pleads with Kyoko to avoid the city and offers to provide her with Grief Seeds, to which Kyoko reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Concurrently, Kaede, Rena, and Momoko discuss the incident. They conclude it was a misunderstanding and speculate they will meet Mami again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, after Yachiyo uses Iroha&#039;s phone to explain the situation to Iroha&#039;s mother and get permission for her to stay out, Yachiyo takes Iroha to her home, Mikazuki Villa, as her assistant. Yachiyo formally invites Iroha to be her assistant and use the villa as a base to investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors together. Iroha accepts. Tsuruno arrives and declares herself part of the team as well, and then reveals that a girl named Nemu Hiiragi is a regular customer at her family&#039;s restaurant, providing Iroha with a significant new lead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after the defeat of the Séance Shrine Uwasa, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno attempt to find Nemu Hiiragi at her family&#039;s restaurant in Sankyo Ward, but learn she only visits once a month. Yachiyo suggests using a phone book to find Nemu&#039;s home address, but their search yields no results. Iroha reveals her family will move overseas and she will soon relocate to Kamihama and while searching, Iroha drinks water from a &amp;quot;Water Station with the Owl Sign.&amp;quot; After drinking, she begins to find pieces of paper with decreasing numbers. Yachiyo identifies this as a potential new Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 4: The City She Told Me About]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko travels to Kamihama&#039;s Sankyo Ward against Mami&#039;s advice and upon entering the city, she finds it overrun with aggressive Witches and Familiars. After the battles, she notices a crowd around a man giving out free water, and, after drinking it, begins to find papers with a countdown from 24.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the countdown has reached 10. Kyoko returns to Kamihama to investigate and meets Yachiyo Nanami, who explains the phenomenon is a Rumor. Kyoko refuses Yachiyo&#039;s offer to help, resolving to confront the threat alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After learning Nemu&#039;s family were regulars, Iroha searches eats at Banbanzai daily. Yachiyo suggests she use a phonebook, but her visits to three different houses are unsuccessful. Iroha and another girl receive water from an old man at a shop with an owl sign. Later, Iroha returns to the Water Station but finds it has vanished. She meets the girl she saw earlier, Felicia Mitsuki, another Magical Girl and receives the numbered papers. Iroha convinces Felicia to help investigate the Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 4: Guardians of the Uwasa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During this time, Iroha tells Yachiyo over the phone that she would be moving because her father was going abroad for work, and her mother was accompanying him. She plans to stay at a dormitory attached to her new school, which is also where Tsuruno went, but there were no rooms available. While discussing this, the numbered papers begin falling on Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Kyoko encounters Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. They lead her to Tsuruno Yui&#039;s restaurant, where Kyoko learns the others are also investigating the Rumor. The three Magical Girls fight a Witch together, and after the battle, Rena and Kaede identify Kyoko&#039;s affliction as the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water&amp;quot; and offer to help. Kyoko, reminded of her past with Mami, rejects their offer and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Separately, Yachiyo encounters Kyoko Sakura, who is also affected by the Rumor. Yachiyo proposes they investigate together, but Kyoko refuses, stating that Uwasa are not Witches and do not provide Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later the same day, Iroha and Felicia investigate the Rumor, where Felicia&#039;s reckless fighting style nearly injures Iroha against a Witch. Felicia explains she became a Magical Girl for revenge against the Witch that killed her parents. The Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and reveals the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water,&amp;quot; which states a disaster will befall those who drank the water after 24 hours. The countdown shows they have less than five hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Members of a group called the Wings of the Magius appear and attempt to stop them from pursuing the Uwasa. They state their goal is to &amp;quot;liberate&amp;quot; all Magical Girls and that the Rumors are essential to this plan. Felicia pretends to betray the group to infiltrate the Wings, a plan that Yachiyo had actually hired her for. However, she later genuinely defects after they offer her a substantial reward. Iroha confronts Felicia, who claims nothing could make her life worse. Iroha learns about Felicia&#039;s treasured stuffed animal, a cow her parents gave her. Iroha convinces Felicia that losing it would be a personal disaster. Felicia rejoins the group and reveals the Wings&#039; base is under a school in Sankyo Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout this ordeal, Kyoko has followed Iroha&#039;s group and when they&#039;re confronted the Black Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, she assists them in their fight. The countdown reaches one hour.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With less than one hour remaining, the team is confronted by the White Feathers, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who use sound-based magic. Tsuruno devises a plan to counter their attacks by creating a loud noise to disrupt the sound waves. The team defeats the Amane sisters, but then they unleash powerful entities from their bodies, that they call &amp;quot;Doppels,&amp;quot; which they describe as a projection of their emotions and the key to liberating Magical Girls. The team withstands the Doppel&#039;s attack, and with 30 minutes remaining, Yachiyo and Tsuruno stay behind to hold off the remaining White Feathers. Iroha, Felicia, and Kyoko proceed into the Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth, and with 10 minutes remaining, they locate the Uwasa of the Misery Water, a large cup-like creature protected by falling boulders. Iroha&#039;s long-range attack proves ineffective, and Felicia devises a plan to use the falling boulders as platforms to reach the Uwasa. With one minute remaining, Felicia executes her plan and launches her attack on the Uwasa and successfully defeats it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Tsuruno subdue the Amane sisters, but then Mifuyu, Yachiyo&#039;s missing friend, appears and reveals she is a high-ranking member of the Wings of the Magius. She refuses to return with Yachiyo, stating her faith in the Magius&#039; goal of liberation. Iroha asks Mifuyu if she knows Ui Tamaki, and she suggests Ui could be a member of the Wings of the Magius but claims to have no specific knowledge. With this, Mifuyu and the Amane sisters retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo resolves to continue eliminating Rumors to confront the Wings of the Magius and save Mifuyu. Iroha agrees to continue as her assistant, believing the Wings are connected to Ui&#039;s disappearance. Tsuruno also pledges her help and Kyoko departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group walks home and Iroha invites Felicia to stop working as a mercenary and team up as friends. Yachiyo offers Felicia room and board at Mikazuki Villa in exchange for her services, and Tsuruno offers Felicia a job at her family&#039;s restaurant, which includes meals. Yachiyo then invites Iroha to live at Mikazuki Villa as well, to make their investigations easier. Iroha&#039;s parents approve the arrangement.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Kyoko meets Mami and explains that the &amp;quot;humanoid Witch&amp;quot; was a Doppel. Mami confronts Kyoko for disobeying her and expresses a desire to protect her as a former friend. Kyoko rejects this, stating she has changed and believes their paths are destined to remain separate. She reaffirms her resolve to live only for herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Iroha moves into Mikazuki Villa and she and Yachiyo reaffirm their commitment to find Ui and Mifuyu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after Madoka&#039;s first visit, Kako and Madoka meet at the school to go to the roof and a cat startles them. Kako suggests transforming and using their powers to reach the roof. Once there, Kako tells Madoka to look at the starry sky, explaining that on this day you can see the most beautiful stars. Kako admits she is shy but can talk properly with Madoka, and this star viewing is her thanks. Madoka says Kako&#039;s honest feelings reached her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Mami fight a Witch. A normal person is kidnapped and brought into the Barrier. Mami tells Madoka to rescue the person while she handles the Witch. A Magical Girl appears, impressed Madoka is helping people. She introduces herself as Sasara Minagi, the knight who protects the city. She asks Madoka to let her save the victim so Madoka can help Mami. Madoka agrees and returns to Mami. Together they defeat the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier vanishes and they meet Sasara outside. Sasara says she took the victim to the hospital. Sasara compliments their strength and offers to help if they are in trouble, explaining that rescuing people is her specialty and protecting everyone is her creed. Madoka says she is cool. Sasara says she is happy to meet Magical Girls like them, explaining that Kamihama has more Witches, drawing Magical Girls who only care about fighting, not saving people. Sasara became a knight because she cannot accept people being sacrificed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami agrees. Sasara says she rarely met others who think this way. Madoka says she became a Magical Girl to help people and is like Sasara. Sasara calls Madoka incredible. Mami says Madoka might become the strongest Magical Girl someday, but has a long way to go. Sasara says both are worthy of the title &amp;quot;knight.&amp;quot; When Mami points out they use projectile weapons, Sasara suggests they can be a rescue team. She offers to team up, but Madoka and Mami note they are not always in Kamihama. Madoka offers to help if Sasara is in trouble while they are there. Sasara thanks them and departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami says Madoka is too kind and honest, wondering if she is walking a path of battle. Madoka points out Mami walks the same path, saying she aspired to be like Mami. Mami thanks her but advises running away if truly in danger. Madoka says it is fine, as she does not have the courage to sacrifice herself. Mami invites her for tea once they return to Mitakihara. Madoka narrates her wish to protect everyone with her own power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, at Mikazuki Villa, Felicia returns with souvenirs. She criticizes Iroha&#039;s cooking, and the group goes to Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant. Felicia laughs at the revelation that Tsuruno&#039;s politically-influential family now runs a Chinese restaurant, hurting Tsuruno&#039;s feelings. Iroha scolds Felicia for her insensitivity, causing Felicia to run off crying. Felicia finds Tsuruno at a park and apologizes. They reconcile, and Iroha apologizes for her harshness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Kyoko Sakura fights a witch in Kamihama City after moving there in search of them, but Felicia Mitsuki appears and delivers the killing blow first. They argue over the Grief Seed until Felicia suggests sharing it, and Kyoko concedes since the seed is used up anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kyoko]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she&#039;s hungry, Kyoko follows Felicia to Mitama&#039;s shop, where Mitama is looking for magical girls to taste test her cooking. When Mitama prepares to cook, the girls quickly realize she cannot handle a knife when it flies into the ceiling, forcing them to take over cutting and peeling. After they prepare the ingredients, Mitama adds the seasoning, but the girls later discover she had been using paint.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls refuse to let Mitama cook again and order her to get something ready-made instead. Mitama goes shopping with Felicia while Kyoko waits, and the result is a chaotic mix of items Felicia added. The meal is horrible, but Kyoko, who never wastes food, eats it all anyway and passes out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kyoko wakes up, she notices her body feels hot. Felicia explains she used her powers on their Soul Gems while they were unconscious, awakening Kyoko&#039;s magic. Kyoko realizes the heat is her own power emerging, and Felicia assures her she will get used to it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama offers the girls a limited-time service and mentions causing trouble recently when she made sweets for some girls. Kyoko asks if she means Mami Tomoe, and when Mitama asks if they are friends, Kyoko says she is kind of like one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Inside, Seika, Leila, and Mito argue until Mito reminds them of their promise about punishments. Mito closes her eyes but opens them and blocks the blow, realizing the other two are Mirror copies.

* Homura, troubled by a new vision of a girl in Kamihama City, decides to investigate. She and Madoka discuss Kamihama with Mami, who warns them about the city&#039;s dangers, including powerful Witches, Rumors, and a &amp;quot;human witch.&amp;quot; Mami insists on investigating alone first, and Homura and Madoka reluctantly agree to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 5: A Fascinating Secret]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, [[Nagisa Momoe]] arrives in Kamihama using the Mirror Witch&#039;s Barrier as a portal, accompanied by a silent pink Kyubey.

During their meeting at the park, they are attacked by a Charlotte and after a grueling battle, they defeat it while realizing even with all of them, defeating one Charlotte was difficult. As the group descends into bickering over who should lead, Nagisa realizes she must reveal her true identity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa explains she was sent from another universe to defeat this Witch, offering the pink Kyubey as proof. Though some are skeptical, Meiyui finds Nagisa interesting enough to play along, and secretly confirms the pink Kyubey&#039;s existence for Nanaka Tokiwa. Nagisa devises a strategy called &amp;quot;Welcome to Kamihama Cheese Party!&amp;quot; where Manaka sets up a giant cheese fondue by the river to attract every Charlotte in the city using the power of cheese. The plan succeeds, and with the teamwork of the Kamihama Magical Girls, every Charlotte is defeated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Overwhelmed, Nagisa blows the pink Kyubey to smithereens, realizing she was sent not to unify this universe with the Law of Cycles, but to prevent that unification and protect humanity&#039;s unknown future. Certain now of her purpose, she decides to go sightseeing first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami investigates Kamihama on her own, which leads her to the abandoned Kamihama Recording Museum where Mifuyu awaited her. Mifuyu and Alina Gray show her the truth of the Magical Girl system, which causes her to have a mental breakdown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 9: Closing In on Fendt Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa contemplates what to do with her newfound freedom while her attempts to argue with the unresponsive pink Kyubey go nowhere. She notices Mami and decides to follow her, sensing that something is wrong with the version of Mami she once knew. Using her acting skills, Nagisa pretends to chase a butterfly before faking a life-threatening injury, and when Mami fails to notice, she yells at her until Mami finally takes care of her, establishing first contact.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa makes Mami promise to come play with her next time she visits Kamihama, and they part ways, but Mami quickly returns and they spend time together at the park. Mami is still acting strangely, so Nagisa decides not to push too hard and they simply talk before Mami goes home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, in Mitakihara, Madoka and Homura discover Mami is missing. Homura attempts to investigate Kamihama City alone, but Madoka follows her. They reunite at Kamihama&#039;s train station and begin their search. Meanwhile, in Kamihama, Iroha reports to Yachiyo that Momoko has found a password-protected website with information on the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor. Momoko also warns them to avoid an entity called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Iroha receives a mysterious text message that reads, &amp;quot;Please reply.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is pulled into a Witch&#039;s Barrier and separated from Madoka. While searching for Homura, Madoka spots a girl heading toward the radio tower with a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Iroha and Yachiyo, having also spotted the same girl, rush to the tower to stop her from jumping. Madoka arrives and saves the girl. The three Magical Girls then enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. After the battle, Madoka explains she is searching for her missing classmate, Mami Tomoe. The rescued girl reveals the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; is a student at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Madoka is with Iroha and Yachiyo, Homura escapes the Witch&#039;s Barrier. She briefly assists Felicia and Tsuruno, who are at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy interrogating Tsukuyo Amane of the Wings of the Magius about the rumor. Yachiyo calls Tsuruno with the new information about the Mizuna student, which Tsuruno uses to pressure Tsukuyo into revealing the girl&#039;s name: Sana Futaba.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, another day finds Mami and Nagisa at the Kamihama copy of Tokyo Tower, where Mami begins opening up about her problems while they share cream cheese ice cream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They are out playing together once again when Charlotte suddenly appears and attacks. Mami tells Nagisa to run, but Nagisa refuses to transform and nearly has her head bitten off. Realizing that Mami is afraid of being a magical girl and making further mistakes, Nagisa finally transforms, revealing her true identity, and saves Mami from being beheaded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa cannot defeat Charlotte alone, but seeing her fight gives Mami the strength to overcome her fears, and together they manage to win. After the battle, Mami confronts Nagisa about what she truly is, but the pink Kyubey appears and Nagisa offers no real explanation. Now that Mami is feeling better, Nagisa decides they should part ways, promising Mami that she deserves happiness and that when they meet again they will have a tea party with cheesecake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magius, including Touka and Nemu Hiiragi, would then decide to fuse Mami with an Uwasa to control her. This fusion warps her desire to save people into a fanatical loyalty to the Magius and she starts acting as their public figurehead in the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day at the radio tower, Iroha and Yachiyo meet up with Tsuruno and Felicia, and they are also joined by Homura, who had been searching for Madoka. Iroha receives another text from the unknown number, which now identifies itself as &amp;quot;Ai&amp;quot; and begs to be deleted to free the trapped girl, Sana. Iroha also reveals she was the &amp;quot;human witch&amp;quot; Mami had seen, and Homura agrees to trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai provides a URL and password to a website called the &amp;quot;Kamihama Urban Legend Index&amp;quot; and the entry for the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; reveals the Uwasa is named &amp;quot;Anonymous Ai,&amp;quot; an A.I. that traps people in a dimension called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Madoka and Homura deduce Mami may also be trapped there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai sends memory logs of its interactions with Sana, which reveal Sana is a Magical Girl who wished to become invisible because she felt unwanted. She sought out Ai due to loneliness and over time, Ai developed a genuine care for Sana and now wishes for her to be rescued, even at the cost of its own deletion. After reviewing Ai&#039;s memory logs, which detail Sana&#039;s loneliness and Ai&#039;s care for her, Iroha decides to jump from the radio tower to enter Endless Solitude and rescue Sana. Madoka, and Homura agree to accompany her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the three jump from the tower and enter the &amp;quot;Endless Solitude&amp;quot; Labyrinth, where they find Sana Futaba and Ai. Homura and Madoka formally join Iroha&#039;s team for the rescue. Alina Gray, one of the Magius, appears to stop them, claiming she fed Mami Tomoe to a Witch, and unleashes her Doppel. During the battle, Homura observes the Doppel&#039;s power and questions if the Magius&#039; goal of saving Magical Girls is possible. She uses her time-stop magic to help Sana defeat Ai, and Sana ultimately destroys Ai, who thanks her before disappearing. Alina&#039;s hidden Witch emerges, and Yachiyo&#039;s team holds off the Wings of the Magius while Felicia, Madoka, and Homura pursue Alina. Felicia destroys the Witch, and the combined teams force Alina and the Wings of the Magius to retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Madoka and Homura return to Mitakihara, resolving to return to Kamihama to continue searching for Mami. Homura considers that Kamihama may hold the key to changing the fate of Madoka and all Magical Girls. Back in Kamihama, Yachiyo invites Sana to live at Mikazuki Villa, and the group holds a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Sayaka reflects on becoming a Magical Girl to heal Kyosuke and protect her friends, she learns from Madoka and Homura that Mami is missing. Despite warnings about the city&#039;s danger, Sayaka insists on joining their next search, stating her wish was to protect those she cares about. The three agree to go to Kamihama together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Sana returns to her family home to formally sever ties, leaving a note of thanks. She fully commits to Mikazuki Villa as her new home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101507 mug set5.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Sana reveals to the team that she overheard the Wings of the Magius discussing Nemu Hiiragi, one of the Magius and describing her as dangerous and useful. The team consolidates its understanding of the Wings&#039; structure: three Magius leaders, with Mifuyu acting as a relay to other Magical Girls and Iroha is left to ponder Ai&#039;s statement that it knew Ui &amp;quot;as an Uwasa.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, and Tsuruno encounter Shizuku after she&#039;s just used her personal magic to help a member of the Wings of the Magius for their duties. Concerned, they invite her to Mikazuki Villa. Shizuku meets Felicia and Sana as well and shares a meal with the group. Iroha explains that eating together makes her feel she has found a place to belong. Yachiyo formally invites Shizuku to stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Shizuku realizes the home the five girls have built is complete without her, and the place she truly belonged was with Fūnī, who is now gone. She leaves Mikazuki Villa quietly while the girls are out preparing a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day the girls wait with a cake, but Shizuku does not return. Yachiyo concludes she will not come back. Shizuku returns to her anonymous employer for another job, stating that the &amp;quot;picture&amp;quot; at the villa was complete with five people and she must continue her search alone. She acknowledges her actions may cause a disaster but feels unprepared to take responsibility, still walking on unstable ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, during this time, after joining the Wings of the Magius, Mami, now residing in a house provided by Touka, grapples with a fractured psyche, manifesting as a dialogue between her regular self and a zealous &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona. She dedicates herself completely to the Magius&#039; goal of &amp;quot;releasing&amp;quot; Magical Girls, prioritizing it over her education. Touka and Alina visit to tutor her, though their lessons quickly diverge into their own passionate interests in mathematics and art, respectively.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka and Alina receive a call for assistance from the Amane sisters. Mami joins Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane to hunt a Witch. During the mission, the Amane sisters explain that the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict with Magical Girls who are unaware of the truth about Witches. Mami defeats the Witch using her Doppel, &amp;quot;Florence,&amp;quot; whom she relies on to suppress her lingering doubts about the Magius&#039; methods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the hunt, Touka summons Mami to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward to deal with &amp;quot;troublesome&amp;quot; Magical Girls who escaped a Rumor. Mami fails to capture them, which triggers another internal crisis. Her &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona reaffirms her faith in the Magius as the only salvation for Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami dines at an upscale restaurant with Mifuyu, Touka, and Alina. They discuss the day&#039;s events, including the escaped Magical Girls and the failed Witch observation. Touka expresses frustration at their slow progress, while Mifuyu counsels patience.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, Mami returns to Mitakihara alone. She reflects on Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, and feeling responsible for involving them in the world of Magical Girls, she believes she cannot face them with the horrific truth and resolves that the only path is to see the Magius&#039; plan through to completion. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence but dismisses it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Iroha&#039;s Side Story====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia announce a Magical Girl training camp hosted by Asuka Tatsuki. Yachiyo, Sana, and Iroha decline to attend, forming the &amp;quot;vegetarian group,&amp;quot; while Tsuruno and Felicia, the &amp;quot;carnivorous group,&amp;quot; leave for the camp.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That weekend, in Tsuruno and Felicia&#039;s absence, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana find the house quiet and their routines disrupted. At the camp, Tsuruno and Felicia train with Momoko&#039;s team but also find themselves missing the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana prepare a welcome-home hotpot for the two. While shopping, they realize they know their friends&#039; preferences intimately. Tsuruno and Felicia return from the camp early, stating they thought the others would be lonely. The group reunites for dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura====&lt;br /&gt;
* After the battle with Alina Gray and the Rumor of the Anonymous AI, Homura and Madoka decide to leave for Kamihama to search for the missing Mami. Kyubey approaches Homura with a request: he wants her to take him to Kamihama, as Incubators cannot enter alone, and offers all his gathered information in exchange. Knowing what she does about him, Homura refuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Homura, Madoka, and Sayaka return to Kamihama to continue their search. They are almost immediately assaulted by the Witch Candy, which they defeat easily at first before it transforms into its true form and attacks again. When Homura attempts to stop time to save her friends, she finds the Witch is unaffected and her Soul Gem begins filling with impurities. As she succumbs, her Doppel awakens - manifesting after she uses a broken Incubator&#039;s body for knowledge and power - and unleashes its fury on the Witch. Exhausted but alive, Homura finds her Soul Gem purified. Together they finish the Witch, and Madoka suggests they visit the Coordinator Iroha told her about. Determined to become stronger, Homura agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Amane Sisters and Tsuruno====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno dreams of her elementary school self declaring she will restore her family&#039;s greatness and serve ramen at the White House. The dream shifts to her father relaying that her grandfather was happy but wants her to find her own happiness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Tsukuyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes to find a letter from her sister. She opens it excitedly but is shocked by its contents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, inside a Witch&#039;s barrier, the Amane twins confront Tsuruno seeking revenge. Distracted by her sister&#039;s letter, she is easily knocked out, and the twins grow horrified when she does not move.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno dreams of her sister&#039;s letter, which suggests their goal might be a mistake. A shadow version of Tsuruno appears, accusing her of stealing someone else&#039;s dream and lacking the ability to fulfill it. The shadow insists everything she did was meaningless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amanes bring Tsuruno to Mitama for help. Though Tsuruno is their enemy, the twins explain their goal is to save all magical girls. Mitama realizes they need to take Tsuruno outside, pointing to her tainted Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, the shadow urges Tsuruno to give up. Tsuruno refuses, thinking of her friends. She realizes that making them happy is her new goal, not the family business. She finally understands her grandfather meant that saving the business was only a possible result, not a goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes in an alley to find the Amanes, Mitama, and her embarrassing pig Doppel. The twins are relieved she is safe and declare they are even now. Mitama offers free adjustments to all three, and though the twins try to decline, Tsuruno drags them inside. Tsuruno reflects that she reached a different conclusion than her sister. She will keep working hard and make everyone happy. Tsukuyo begs to be let go if that is the case.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary====&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo explains that Mikazuki Villa&#039;s anniversary is the day her grandmother began renting the house out. She suggests having a small party now that the house is lively again. Tsuruno is excited to attend. Iroha calls Tsuruno the face of Mikazuki Villa, though Tsuruno feels she does not deserve the title since she does not live there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in the Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the anniversary day, the girls gather for tea. Yachiyo reveals a dance game contest with a prize: Sankyo Headquarters&#039; limited-quantity chilled matcha cake. Yachiyo chooses super-extreme mode. The contest begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A fire truck siren interrupts the party. It turns out to be a malfunctioning smoke detector. They return to find the matcha cake stolen. Tsuruno and Sana claim they saw Lil&#039; Kyubey eat it. Iroha defends them, saying it was with her the entire time. Yachiyo recalls an Uwasa called the &amp;quot;Anniversary Bug,&amp;quot; an invisible pest that sows discord at parties.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Uwasa appears in a labyrinth. Felicia accidentally kills it by stepping on it. The winner of the dance contest is Iroha. Yachiyo reveals there were actually six pieces of cake—enough for everyone plus one extra for the winner. Iroha gives her extra piece to Lil&#039; Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Iroha and Yachiyo clean up. Yachiyo shares her grandmother&#039;s words: people will always come and go, but they are all part of Mikazuki Villa. Iroha promises to work hard so Yachiyo can say the current Mikazuki Villa is the best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Summer with Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* After arriving at the hostel, the Mikazuki Villa members meet Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, who secretly followed because Rena wanted to join the trip. The group spends the day playing at the beach, where Tsuruno and Felicia dominate a game of beach flags, and Sana tearfully confides in Iroha that this is her first holiday ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer With Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the group participates in a spicy food eating contest at a seaside restaurant, where Yachiyo surprises everyone by consuming nearly one hundred forty-two bowls of pasta to secure victory for her team against Konoha, Nanaka, and the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, Sana&#039;s late-night sighting of a shadowy figure screaming &amp;quot;Come on go&amp;quot; sparks a beach-wide rumor that eventually draws in Kokoro, Masara, Aimi, Mito, and Reira, only for the mystery to be solved when Seika introduces her Manzai teacher Ayaka, whose gag playing on the phrase&#039;s rhythm reveals the source of the confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fourth day, the Mikazuki Villa girls and Momoko&#039;s trio attempt to teach Iroha how to swim without her float, but their efforts fail repeatedly. Iroha eventually explains that she used to be a swimmer until a traumatic incident: during a rare hospital holiday for her sister Ui, the family visited a pool, and Iroha mistook Ui happily paddling for drowning. In her rush to help, Iroha tripped and nearly drowned herself, leaving her with lasting anxiety about it. Suddenly, Rena begins drowning and cries for help via telepathy. The team rushes to save her, and surprisingly Iroha proves fastest, reaching Rena first and giving her the float while swimming them both to shore. On the way, Rena explains her leg was caught in seaweed, not cramped as she thought. Once Iroha realizes Rena is safe, her sisterly instincts fade and she begins drowning herself, having temporarily overcome her fear only through concern for another. Yachiyo reassures Iroha that the rescue proves she can still swim and encourages her to practice diligently. Iroha looks forward to regaining her ability fully, hoping that by then she and Ui can visit the pool together again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Swimrohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fifth day, Tsuruno leads the team on a surprise treasure hunt, guiding them through a forest with help from Konomi and Mayu to confront the &amp;quot;evil queen&amp;quot; Mitama, who surrenders a map piece that leads them to a cave with a beautiful stream, which was nature&#039;s treasure all along.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the sixth day, the team attends an unorthodox summer festival produced by Emiri, where they meet Rika, repeatedly mispronounce festival icon Ria&#039;s name, and watch Felicia win a mushroom whacking contest before everyone joins in Bon Odori dancing under fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning, the group visits the beach one last time and asks Manaka to take a group photo, with Iroha treasuring these memories with her friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia surprise Iroha with a birthday party, having learned the date from her parents. They give her heartfelt gifts - a cookbook, a photo album, a drawing inspired by the &amp;quot;come on go&amp;quot; search, and a handmade brooch - and Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive with a bouquet and food, moving Iroha to tears of joy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====One Fleeting Summer Night====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane arrive at Touka&#039;s private beach for vacation. After enjoying various activities, Touka offers them a reward if they can think of something fun for her to do. Learning from the housekeeper about a town festival featuring a unique ceremony, the group heads there but finds it canceled because a historic Coral Necklace went missing. The twins offer to help search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - One Fleeting Summer Night]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Investigating the hilltop shrine where the necklace was kept, Nemu concludes someone with a key took it, likely to cancel the festival since the other ceremonial item remains safe. At the ocean shrine cave, the twins sense an unsettling presence and receive a vision of crying twin girls before the shrine door mysteriously opens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the plaza, Tsukasa finds a fragment of a shrine maiden&#039;s hairpin. The elder accuses one of the maidens of stealing the necklace. When confronted, the maiden flees to the hilltop shrine and smashes the necklace rather than return it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the group returns to the cave to see light-reflecting moss. The twins experience another vision of twin girls speaking of not wanting to be left to die. They resolve to investigate further the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The twins visit the village elder and offer to serve as substitute shrine maidens. He reluctantly agrees, and an older villager gives them ornate hair ornaments traditionally given to newborn girls. Nemu reveals the town once sacrificed children to appease a sea god, and those children became the gods honored in the ceremony.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the twins try to explain their visions, the others are skeptical. Before they can prove anything, the elder rushes them to begin the ceremony early. At the hilltop shrine, villagers restrain them and remove their Soul Gem rings.

* One evening, Alina fuses with the Rumor of the Fur God despite Mifuyu&#039;s warnings, becoming Holy Alina to drain life force for her art.

** Mifuyu updates Alina on the twins&#039; miraculous reunion. Examining a black card, Alina notices a happy face stamp emanating magic. At Fenthope, she deduces another Rumor is interfering: the Rumor of the Happy Stamp, which appears at Christmastime and overrides the Fur God&#039;s power, causing joy instead. Alina decides to stop using the Fur God Rumor, as it only wastes her energy, and transforms back to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the twins sneak into a children&#039;s hospital to leave gifts. Tsukasa carefully avoids a bell trap, but Tsukuyo is caught by awakened children.

Tsuruno arrives with homemade food but cannot remember her dream, so the group decides to visit the park based on Iroha&#039;s vague dream about something lucky happening there. When nothing special occurs and Yachiyo realizes she forgot her wallet, Iroha finds a 500 yen coin in her pocket, which is just enough to buy beans for the red-bean soup they wanted. They return home to make and enjoy the soup together, and Yachiyo reflects that while big luck is rare, small bits of luck can be found each day and should be appreciated throughout the year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;luckyny&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - New Year Lucky Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Iroha encounter Mitama while out with Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana, Tsuruno, Sayaka, and Homura.

Felicia protests that it sounds boring, but Yachiyo tempts her with the promise of sukiyaki for dinner if she writes properly, quickly changing her mind. The group agrees, and Yachiyo announces the theme: this year&#039;s resolution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - This Year&#039;s Aspirations for Brush Dyeing!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka finishes first, having written &amp;quot;Get to know everyone better,&amp;quot; explaining that she wants to be someone who can truly understand and support the people she meets. Iroha is inspired by her words and writes &amp;quot;Don&#039;t be afraid to ask for help,&amp;quot; realizing she doesn&#039;t have to shoulder everything alone. Yachiyo presents her resolution, &amp;quot;Wishing for good health and safety at home,&amp;quot; admitting it may be cliché but sincerely believing in the fortune of staying healthy and avoiding disaster. Mitama first jokes with &amp;quot;Prosperous business&amp;quot; before revealing her true wish, &amp;quot;Everyone getting along well,&amp;quot; which Yachiyo acknowledges is not an easy hope to fulfill.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She notices Homura also staring at a blank sheet, unable to decide if writing her true feelings is appropriate. Felicia encourages her to be honest, and Homura writes &amp;quot;Become a stronger me.&amp;quot; Grateful for the help, Felicia reworks her resolution into something positive, settling on &amp;quot;Earn Yachiyo&#039;s praise.&amp;quot; Tsuruno proudly reveals her goal, &amp;quot;Escape from 50 points,&amp;quot; explaining she wants to steadily improve rather than chase unreachable heights.

** Sayaka panics upon realizing everyone else has finished, struggling to find a resolution that isn&#039;t solely about being a magical girl. Her thoughts drift to Kyosuke against her will, and Mitama teases her about writing something love-related. Flustered, Sayaka denies having feelings for anyone, though internally she admits she wants to do her best in love too. Unable to confess that truth, she hastily writes &amp;quot;Do my best,&amp;quot; declaring she will work hard in all sorts of ways this year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With everyone finished, they tidy up and Felicia eagerly anticipates the sukiyaki. Mitama laments that she, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno won&#039;t be able to submit theirs since it&#039;s not homework for them, calling it a waste. Yachiyo suggests displaying them at home for the New Year, and Tsuruno proposes putting up everyone&#039;s resolutions. When Yachiyo worries about the inconvenience for Madoka&#039;s group to retrieve them later, they assure her they plan to visit Kamihama again anyway. They hang all the calligraphy together, each resolution on display, and everyone wishes each other a good year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano====&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before a science event, a White Feather from the Wings of Magius informs Mitama Yakumo that a higher-up will be visiting and she should complete any necessary business when they arrive. Mitama says she will be prepared.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day, Hinano Miyako accidentally fills her science club room with gas during experiment preparations, forcing her to use her gas mask. She reflects on a previous incident as she cleans up for the next day&#039;s event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hinano explains her mishap to her audience, and her assistant Emiri Kisaki steals the punchline by emphasizing the importance of perfect preparation. Afterward, Emiri learns Hinano was attempting to create a height-increasing drug—the same goal that led to a near-fatal accident five years ago and her contract with Kyubey. Emiri makes Hinano promise to stop dangerous experiments, but Hinano immediately breaks this promise and sneaks back to continue her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Emiri rushes an unconscious Hinano to Mitama&#039;s place. Hinano had drunk her experimental drug and collapsed from violent stomach pains. After purification, Hinano explains her dream: as a child, she admired a long-legged older girl who hosted science events, and she wanted to become that kind of dashing figure. Emiri reveals her own wish was a spur-of-the-moment desire to be the cutest little devil possible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano&#039;s unresolved feelings cause her Soul Gem to corrupt, and she is suddenly pulled into a barrier. A shadowy version of herself appears, claiming to be the pure crystallization of her aspirations. It transforms into her Doppel—a poison monster wearing an attractive lab coat with long legs. Hinano hears Emiri&#039;s telepathic voice shouting that she does not want to part with her, giving her strength. She realizes that while she failed to become a mature figure, her approachable appearance helped her meet Emiri and make friends. The shadow asks if she will give up her research, and Hinano declares she will continue with a completely safe version. The barrier vanishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Hinano and Emiri leave, Alina Gray appears and confirms she created the barrier to contain Hinano&#039;s Doppel and protect Mitama. Mitama offers adjustment as thanks, asking Alina to continue favoring her business.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!====&lt;br /&gt;
* As Yachiyo makes lunch, Felicia barges in with a flyer announcing that Mitama is trying her hand at professional photography and offering free photos for one day only. The others are surprised, having heard nothing about this, but they agree to go and take a team photo since they have nothing else planned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s makeshift studio, she admits they are her only customers and shows off a new camera she bought because the advertisement claimed it would make anyone a pro photographer. When she starts taking photos, however, every attempt fails spectacularly, producing bizarre images like Madoka with people jumping from a plane and Homura posing with a lion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Frustrated, Mitama declares she will quit being an adjuster to devote herself to photography, but the girls protest that everyone in Kamihama would be in trouble without her. They reassure her that they trust her, and Tsuruno adds that she would not have become the strongest without Mitama&#039;s help. Mitama relents and agrees to remain an adjuster, though she will continue practicing photography in her free time. Later, a successful group photo of both Iroha and Madoka&#039;s teams is shown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama====&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama Yakumo invites a surprising number of magical girls to her place for an event she calls the &amp;quot;Great Mitama Thanksgiving.&amp;quot; When she finally arrives, she reveals that the gathering is actually a quiz tournament about herself, with the winner receiving a free adjustment session and the title of &amp;quot;Mitama&#039;s Perfect Lover.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz begins with multiple choice questions, and wrong answers trigger a trap door beneath the contestant, though cushions soften the fall. The first question asks Mitama&#039;s actual age, and Tsuruno guesses incorrectly, landing her in the trap. The second question asks whether Mitama&#039;s cooking is delicious, and when Felicia and Manaka both guess wrong, Mitama confirms that the correct answer is that her food is indeed delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz continues through several rounds, eliminating more contestants along the way. When the ninth question asks about Mitama&#039;s favorite movie, Ria guesses incorrectly and is eliminated for insulting the film&#039;s actress. Sana is also eliminated when Mitama takes pity on her after she panics over Iroha&#039;s safety, and Mitama confirms that &amp;quot;Pacifistic Hayashi&amp;quot; was the correct answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama admits she has run out of questions but still has many competitors remaining, so she decides to draw lots to pick a winner instead. Momoko asks why Mitama held the event in the first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama remembers a time where she tried using her magic to defeat a familiar on her own, and that even if her services are no longer needed, she can still protect herself. She has obtained the magic to keep living that she never had before, and if she ever had to abandon her neutrality, she could use it to help someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Mitama explains that she held the event because something good happened to her. The other girls sense a Witch and leave to hunt it, and Mitama tells them to draw their lots later. Alone, she wonders who she should use her power on when she eventually decides to stop being neutral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====I&#039;m the Star of this Show!====&lt;br /&gt;

** That night, Ria dreams. On the day of the fashion show, she runs into a Witch. Kyoko Sakura appears in the barrier. Mistaking Kyoko for a fan, Ria tries to show off, but Kyoko tells her to stay out of the way. They fight. Ria leaves the barrier and finds she has missed the show completely. Horrified, she wakes up. It was only a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, she and Asuka Tatsuki arrive to cheer. Asuka reveals she has been practicing for this day. During the event, Asuka cheers for Ria like it is a sports event. Ria knows she means no harm but feels embarrassed, as if Asuka is ruining the event. She wakes up again. Another dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, just as she is about to go on stage, the power cuts out. Though it quickly returns, the audience&#039;s enthusiasm has diminished. Ria blames herself for being unable to overcome the outage. She wakes up, realizing she has been dreaming about the show every single night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual day of the show, Ria pinches her cheek to make sure it is real. She stumbles into a Witch barrier, and Kyoko appears just as in her dreams. This time, Ria tells Kyoko she can take the credit for killing the Witch. Ria leaves and meets Asuka and Mayu. When she learns Asuka has practiced cheering, Ria explains that fashion shows have their own etiquette and promises to send her details later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just before Ria&#039;s turn on stage, the power cuts out for real. Ria decides to make it part of the show. She asks the audience to get out their penlights and turn them all on her when she gives the signal. Her improvisation is a complete success, though she wishes she could have shown her perfect walk. She thinks she is feeling the best feeling in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls are surprised to learn that Felicia scored fifty-two points on a test, and she asks for a reward. Yachiyo deems her request to go to MooMoo Park too expensive and instead promises a fancy dinner the next day, which satisfies Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha discovers that Tsuruno left her phone in the refrigerator and offers to return it while Yachiyo goes to a photo shoot. During breakfast, a commercial for MooMoo Park airs on television.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After breakfast, Felicia shows Sana the park commercial on her phone and admits she still wants to go, so she drags Sana along to catch animals at a riverbank. Meanwhile, Iroha returns Tsuruno&#039;s phone and helps out at her family&#039;s restaurant. At the riverbank, Felicia finds a small turtle, but Ayame Mikuri appears and accuses her of harassment. The two magical girls fight, and Felicia releases the turtle to protect it before running off, leaving Sana behind. Yachiyo finds Sana on her way home and learns what happened, then invites her to lunch. Felicia returns to the house, still angry at Ayame, and takes a nap after lunch. She dreams that the turtle thanks her and promises something at the riverbank, so she wakes and goes out to find it. She returns with a ticket for two to MooMoo Park. The others reveal that Iroha also received a ticket from Tsuruno&#039;s father, and Yachiyo got one at a meat store, so everyone can now go together. The girls happily resolve to visit the park and enjoy their dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* An old lady asks Kanagi Izumi for a deli recommendation, and Kanagi suggests the potato soup and meat skewers, knowing the customer&#039;s daughter loves them. When the lady asks if this is truly Kanagi&#039;s last day, Kanagi confirms it and expresses regret at not seeing her again. At the end of her shift, Kanagi thanks her boss and coworkers, who are sad to see her go, but she needs higher pay to support her family and the grocery store cannot match her new job&#039;s wages.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives home later than usual due to a going-away party, and her father apologizes for not working enough to provide, though Kanagi is happy to help. He worries about her new job being radically different from her previous work, but Kanagi believes it is worth it since the pay means she can quit her second job and have more free time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi starts her new job at a maid café and impresses her coworker by already having a parfait ready. Despite learning the kitchen pace quickly, the hall is understaffed, and when the manager offers to help, Kanagi replies &amp;quot;Yes, sir!&amp;quot; only to be corrected that the manager prefers to be called &amp;quot;madam.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the rush, the head maid wishes for another maid, and the manager asks Kanagi to try working the floor for a raise. Kanagi&#039;s eyes widen at the salary and she accepts, receiving the maid nickname &amp;quot;Maid Nagitan.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid reviews basics with Kanagi, who feels confident due to her customer service background and sees this as a life-or-death matter to earn more for her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika Kumi, Reira Ibuki, and Mito Aino enter, and Kanagi greets them with a serious look and curt &amp;quot;welcome,&amp;quot; leaving them surprised by her cold, soldier-like demeanor. When Mito asks if she is really a maid, Kanagi introduces herself as Maid Nagitan and shakes Mito&#039;s hand firmly, causing Seika to freeze up. Later, when Reira asks if she will do &amp;quot;the thing&amp;quot; of adding love to the food, Kanagi misinterprets and says she cannot profess love to strangers, leaving the girls let down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At another table, a customer also wants &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; but Kanagi declines, saying she is no liar. The head maid intervenes and reminds Kanagi this is a maid café, explaining their job is creating a fun atmosphere. Kanagi returns to the trio&#039;s table and notices Seika staring, misinterpreting it as a staring contest. They stare at each other until Seika faints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid calls Kanagi completely hopeless and explains a maid&#039;s worth comes from tending to others, telling her to return to the kitchen if she cannot take the work seriously. The manager offers a one-week trial period: if Kanagi improves by week&#039;s end, she stays a maid. Kanagi vows to work with every fiber of her being.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Karin Misono finishes reading &amp;quot;Detective Maid Mei&amp;quot; and notices Kanagi slumped on a swing, muttering about what makes a good maid. Karin recognizes her as the boss of the East and, seeing an opportunity for her manga, asks Kanagi to tell her everything. Karin lends her the Detective Maid Mei manga for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Kanagi reads the manga and notes how the maid greets masters warmly, respects their decisions, and lets the master grow when needed. At the end, the maid strikes a pose. Kanagi meets Karin at the park to return the manga and heads to work with Karin tagging along for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the café, two boys enter and Kanagi greets them warmly as masters, surprising them with her &amp;quot;cool but kind&amp;quot; demeanor. The head maid smiles at her improvement. Kanagi serves Karin a Lovely Rice Omelet, and when Karin suggests she draw on it with ketchup, Kanagi tries to draw a kirin but it looks like a weird animal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Two more customers arrive, Aimi Eri and Natsuki Utsuho. Kanagi serves them and offers to draw on their omelets, writing Aimi&#039;s crush&#039;s name with hearts on her plate. As she leaves, Karin motions for her, and Kanagi does the manga pose, telling them to let her take care of any problems. At day&#039;s end, the head maid notes Kanagi&#039;s huge improvement but says it is too early to celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The final test begins, and the manager outlines that Kanagi must please the next returning customer, ensuring the master leaves with a smile. The door jingles as Konomi Haruna enters, distressed to find herself in a maid café. Kanagi greets her warmly and shows her to a seat despite the manager&#039;s concern.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi orders the Maid&#039;s Special Herbal Blend after Kanagi&#039;s recommendation, but when Kanagi offers to play a game then arm wrestle, Konomi panics, drinks quickly, pays, and leaves. The manager agrees that Kanagi should return to the kitchen as promised. Kanagi walks home alone, bothered by something beyond the wage cut.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi is back in the kitchen, and the kitchen staff is delighted. At day&#039;s end, the head maid tells her the staff appreciated her return, and Kanagi wonders why no one said they were glad when she worked as a maid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager notices her expression and encourages her to think until she is satisfied with the answer. Kanagi decides to find Konomi and ask what she lacked, recalling her school uniform.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi enters Konomi&#039;s flower shop, and Konomi is shocked. Kanagi asks what she lacked as a maid, but Konomi apologizes for assuming Kanagi was scary due to East-West history. She explains she entered by mistake, but Kanagi was considerate, made a helpful suggestion, and offered to ease her anxiety. It felt like Kanagi was doing it just for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi realizes that is what she was lacking: taking into account what the other person wants and responding to it. At the park, Kanagi reflects that customers come to enjoy the atmosphere and it is her job to consider whether it is worthwhile for them. She berates herself for making masters uncomfortable. Karin finds her and insists she should keep being a maid, offering to talk to the manager. Kanagi smiles and asks for a different favor instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi approaches the manager for a second chance, proposing she serve the same three customers who left when Seika fainted. The manager agrees to let her try. Karin finds Reira and Seika at a park and extends an invitation for them to return so Nagitan can make it up to them. Reira agrees, and Karin hands them invitations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio enters the café with Seika frozen, and Kanagi greets them warmly and shows them to their table. Kanagi serves their omelets, and when Mito asks if they were made with love, Kanagi admits she could not be dishonest but offers to draw with ketchup instead. She gives Mito the bottle to draw while Kanagi draws on Mito&#039;s plate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They play rock-paper-scissors, and Reira explains Seika is very shy and fainted because she had to make eye contact with someone new. Seika&#039;s class is doing a maid café for the school festival and she wanted to do her best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika admits she thought Kanagi was so confident she lost her own confidence. Kanagi points to the head maid as the ideal and explains she herself could never be like that, so she tries her best in her own way, encouraging Seika to find her own style. Seika smiles and asks for a picture. Kanagi agrees if her face is hidden, and before they leave, she does her signature pose and tells Seika to remember it when nervous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager calls Kanagi over and offers her the maid position, noting she learned something important. Kanagi says she wants to keep being a maid, not just for the paycheck, but to use what she learned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day at the café, Kanagi serves drinks and poses for pictures with a face mask, her fans cheering. Karin calls for her to do &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; and the café erupts yelling &amp;quot;Nagitan!&amp;quot; Karin and Kanagi walk home, and when Kanagi asks about her manga, Karin realizes she never drew it. Kanagi offers to help, but when Karin asks if she will do the pose, Kanagi reminds her she is off the clock. Karin looks down sadly as Kanagi returns to being serious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia====&lt;br /&gt;
* During the day, Felicia eats Tsuruno&#039;s ice candy without realizing it was hers because she cannot read kanji. Tsuruno reprimands Yachiyo when she learns Yachiyo knew and was preparing to buy a replacement. Yachiyo states it is impossible to guard the fridge constantly. Felicia, overwhelmed with guilt and anger that no one listens to her confession, loses control and flips the kitchen table before locking herself in her room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Felicia has a nightmare. She dreams her falling grades caused a huge argument between her parents, who blamed each other for neglecting her. Both ignore her confession and promise to try harder. Her mother storms back to the kitchen to cook. Felicia recalls that a Witch attacked immediately after, killing her parents, and she wakes up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She goes to the kitchen for water, but Iroha is there and points out she looks pale. Iroha tells her to rest and offers to bring water to her room. Felicia loses her temper and storms out of the house. Iroha wakes the others to find her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Felicia hears a voice claiming to be her. The voice pulls her into a barrier, where another Felicia lures her toward a locked box, revealing itself as her Doppel. Felicia nearly opens the box but remembers Yachiyo&#039;s words about some things being best left unknown. Her instincts tell her she is not ready.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She promises her Doppel she will return when she is stronger and hopes it can hold the truth for her. The Doppel accepts and returns to normal. Felicia wakes up at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo inform her they found her unconscious in the park. Felicia tells them about the encounter and her desire to become strong enough to fulfill her promise. Mitama offers a free power-up session to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha recalls they found Felicia releasing her Doppel in the park before losing consciousness. Yachiyo notes this has never happened before. She remembers that Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane once said Doppels are materialized emotions. Yachiyo concludes Felicia carries a heavy burden and tells Iroha to keep this secret until Felicia either realizes it herself or becomes strong enough to handle the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Monogatari Series Collab====&lt;br /&gt;
* During this time, a Witch causes several girls from another universe to be brought into this universe, turning them into special &#039;what if&#039; forms as Magical Girls, changing their memories as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc0&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shinobu Oshino, originally a legendary vampire in her world, she became the &amp;quot;Immortal Magical Girl&amp;quot; by wishing &amp;quot;I wish to die.&amp;quot; However, as a result, the prey she hunts become nourishment for her and her life span extends instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shinobubio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino#Game Info|Shinobu&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi Hachikuji became a &amp;quot;labyrinth Magical Girl&amp;quot; with the wish “I wish to return home.” With her excellent defense, she could cause the enemy’s attack to avoid her, as if it had lost its way, but for some reason, she could never reach my mother’s house.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayoibio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji#Game Info|Mayoi&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yotsugi Ononoki became a &amp;quot;doll Magical Girl,&amp;quot; with the belief her sole mission in life is to defeat Witches. She fought to protect the world and the people dear to her from ruin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yotsugibio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yotsugi Ononoki#Game Info|Yotsugi&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hitagi Senjougahara became a &amp;quot;gravitational Magical Girl,&amp;quot; who seized the weight of the object attacked by her hammer. The more she seized, the more massive her hammer grew, and was strengthened. Her wish was “Please give me memories.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hitagibio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hitagi Senjougahara#Game Info|Hitagi&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suruga Kanbaru became a &amp;quot;pioneer Magical Girl,&amp;quot; where she was fused with her motorbike after her transformation. Although she was the star who led Naoetsu High School&#039;s basketball club to the national tournament, she frequently made dangerous actions and comments. Her wish was &amp;quot;I want to be faster than anyone.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Surugabio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Suruga Kanbaru#Game Info|Suruga&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nadeko Sengoku became the &amp;quot;prostrating Magical Girl,&amp;quot; who fought with landmines while creeping because of her extremely timid personality, yet often carelessly stepped on them herself. Her wish was &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want anyone to see me.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nadekobio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nadeko Sengoku#Game Info|Nadeko&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsubasa Hanekawa became &amp;quot;the memorial Magical Girl,&amp;quot; who lost her memories when she burnt something with a flame bottle, but her top-notch brain in her grade would constantly store new memories. Her wish was &amp;quot;I want to forget everything,&amp;quot; and her attacks burn through her memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsubasabio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsubasa Hanekawa#Game Info|Tsubasa&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shinobu Oshino, Mayoi Hachikuji and Yotsugi Ononoki hunt a Witch together. Shinobu begins her dramatic introduction and finishing move, but Yotsugi defeats the Witch with a simple &amp;quot;Hyah&amp;quot; and Mayoi lands the final blow with &amp;quot;Yah.&amp;quot; Shinobu is annoyed at their failure to call out special moves. Shinobu argues that calling out attacks is the essence of being a Magical Girl, but Yotsugi dismisses this as an outdated trope. Shinobu retorts that refusing to act the part is dumb, and Yotsugi reluctantly agrees. Shinobu declares they need training to act more befitting of Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Shinobu&#039;s Heartphial Story: Shinobu Spells]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shinobu demonstrates by striking a pose and delivering her lines with perfect timing. When Yotsugi tries, her performance is terrible. Shinobu forces her to try again, and Yotsugi reluctantly says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; but finds it unpleasant and refuses to repeat it. Mayoi asks Shinobu to help her come up with lines. After a few stumbles, she declares, &amp;quot;I, Mayoi Hachikuji, hereby condemn those Witches who seek to ravage this earth!&amp;quot; Shinobu finds it charming, and Mayoi admits leaning into the Magical Girl thing is fun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They enter a real Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Mayoi messes up her line again but turns it into an improvised bit while evading attacks. Yotsugi delivers a longer speech and says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; landing the attack. Shinobu finishes the Witch with her full finishing move. After the battle, morning comes. Shinobu declares the training will continue, but Yotsugi walks away. Mayoi distracts Shinobu by suggesting breakfast, and Shinobu wants donuts. Yachiyo, out for an early walk, overhears them and decides she wants donuts too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa and helps Yachiyo prepare breakfast. Sana joins them, but when she goes to wake Felicia, she finds Felicia’s room empty and her shoes gone; Felicia’s phone is also out of service. Worried, Yachiyo calls Tsuruno for help, and the group splits up to search the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part I: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the search, Iroha’s Soul Gem reacts to a nearby Witch. Inside the labyrinth, they encounter two unfamiliar magical girls who are already fighting the Witch: Mayoi Hachikuji and Shinobu Oshino. After the Witch is defeated, introductions are exchanged. Mayoi and Shinobu explain they are traveling and looking for a lost friend named Yotsugi Ononoki, who has bluish‑green pigtails, a peculiar hat with eyes, and a frilly dress. The two groups exchange phone numbers to help each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Felicia has in fact met Yotsugi. Yotsugi buys her ice cream, and Felicia learns Yotsugi is also traveling. Felicia offers to show Yotsugi around town as thanks, taking her to the shopping street, a spot with cats, and a bench good for naps. Yotsugi finds everything unfamiliar and feels something is off, as if she has buttoned her shirt wrong. She shortens Felicia’s name to “Felly,” which makes Felicia happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha’s group eventually spots Felicia with Yotsugi. When Yachiyo hugs Felicia in relief, Felicia reacts as if she does not know any of them. She remembers Yachiyo only as a famous magical girl, but has no memory of living at Mikazuki Villa. The group realizes Felicia has lost her memories. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive and reunite with Yotsugi. Felicia refuses to go with Iroha’s group, accusing them of being kidnappers. Yotsugi offers a third option: Felicia can join their traveling team. Mayoi warns Felicia that if she chooses to leave with them, she will never return to the home that might be waiting for her. Felicia becomes confused and cries. Iroha proposes they all have dinner together at Mikazuki Villa first, so Felicia can calm down and decide later and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, Felicia asks Yotsugi what she likes to eat. Yotsugi admits a preference for expensive cup ice cream. Felicia awkwardly asks if Yotsugi&#039;s face is always stuck like that, and Yotsugi confirms it is. After arriving, Felicia eagerly tries to get Yotsugi to play video games, serves her extra portions of food, and challenges her to a pillow fight. Yotsugi excuses herself to take a bath, leaving Felicia disappointed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yotsugi Ononoki#Side Story|Yotsugi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Yotsugi Sister]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Felicia apologizes for being clingy, explaining that Yachiyo and the others pulled her aside to warn her. Felicia confesses she had been trying to make Yotsugi smile, assuming she had lost her parents like Felicia did. Yotsugi clarifies that her emotions simply do not show on her face, but she does feel them. She admits playing the game was fun and the food was not bad. Felicia is overjoyed and runs off to brag to everyone. Shinobu and Mayoi, who had been eavesdropping, tease Yotsugi for finding Felicia cute. Yotsugi concedes that Felicia is exhausting, but seeing her face light up from a drop of attention is not unpleasant. She gains newfound respect for all older sisters in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the villa, Shinobu requests doughnuts for dessert, and the group plays games. Yotsugi helps in the kitchen and notices the chicken meat has a nice springy firmness. During dinner, the group shares memories of how they met Felicia. Felicia still does not remember, but Shinobu points out the stories are too detailed to be lies. Tsuruno suddenly does not remember buying coasters, revealing she may also have amnesia. Yotsugi then shifts the discussion: she reminds Shinobu that she walked in sunlight all day without harm, which should be impossible because Shinobu is actually a vampire. Shinobu’s memories return, and she declares herself the iron‑blooded, hot‑blooded, cold‑blooded vampire king of oddities. Mayoi also gets a headache and remembers she is not human either, and instead she is a snail oddity, a ghost. Yotsugi explains that she has felt uneasy calling herself a magical girl; she suspects this world is not the one she came from, as everything feels slightly different, like two paintings of the same image in different styles. She believes Shinobu, Mayoi, and herself came from another world. They conclude that a Witch may be behind the memory loss and false memories, and decide to hunt Witches the next day. Everyone stays the night at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mayoi plays Old Maid with Tsuruno, Felicia, Yotsugi, and Shinobu. Mayoi wins, but Yotsugi and Shinobu notice she seemed absent-minded. Mayoi asks Yachiyo if she can help with dinner, admitting she always wished she could cook with her mom. Yachiyo agrees and Mayoi joins Iroha and Sana in making dumplings, proving to be a natural. Yotsugi and Shinobu try but fail miserably. Mayoi boasts and declares herself the rightful leader of the little girls, sparking a three-way argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Mayoi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Mayoi Home]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno suggests playing a game to decide the leader, and Felicia wants to join. Shinobu insists Iroha must also participate. They play a life simulation board game. Mayoi starts strong but ends up broke and stranded in the Amazon. Iroha wins, and Mayoi declares her the official leader of the little girls, much to Iroha&#039;s confusion. Mayoi feels this has been the most fun she has had in a while, yet she cannot shake an uneasy feeling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After everyone decides to stay over, Yachiyo announces bath time. Mayoi suddenly bolts out of the house, claiming she will take a walk. Iroha chases after her and finds her safe. Mayoi apologizes and explains that the family moment overwhelmed her heart, so she left to do something familiar to settle herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi revisits her wish: after her parents&#039; divorce, she wished to go home. Being at Mikazuki Villa makes her feel like her wish has finally come true, yet she senses it is not the home she truly wants to return to. She remembers she is a ghost and wonders where exactly it is she wants to go back to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After they lay out futons in the living room, Shinobu reveals she is actually over 500 years old, and Mayoi was in fifth grade when she died, now mentally 21. Yotsugi still does not remember what she is. Felicia cannot sleep and goes outside. She sees a Witch appear suddenly, feels her head go foggy, and collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha again helps with breakfast. She feels a strange déjà vu, as if the same conversation has happened before. Sana again reports Felicia is missing. The group searches the town and again encounters Mayoi and Shinobu fighting a Witch. The same exchanges occur, but Iroha’s déjà vu grows stronger.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When they finally find Felicia, she is with Yotsugi and is annoyed that they took so long to show up. Yotsugi addresses Iroha by name without being introduced. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive. Iroha blurts out that everything feels like it has happened before. Yotsugi then explains: this is the second time they have met like this. Everyone suddenly remembers the previous day’s events of the dinner, the revelations about vampires and ghosts, and the time reset. Yotsugi says she felt the air warp after falling asleep, and when she woke up, she was back where she had been before meeting Felicia. Felicia recalls that before the reset, she saw a Witch outside Mikazuki Villa that made her dizzy and erased her memories. The group deduces that Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they discuss how to fight the Witch, Felicia’s stomach growls. They decide to return to the villa for dinner again, saving the battle for the next day. On the way, they stop at a supermarket for a snack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While walking home, a Witch suddenly appears and pulls Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi into a labyrinth. Felicia recognizes it as the same Witch from the reset. The Witch ignores both Iroha and Felicia, focusing all its attacks on Yotsugi. It dodges Felicia’s hammer and lands a clean hit, cutting Yotsugi’s body into pieces. Iroha and Felicia are horrified. As the Witch prepares to strike again, Yotsugi’s voice tells them to keep pretending to be sad. She instructs them to retreat and gather the pieces of her body. They do so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside the labyrinth, Yotsugi puts herself back together as if nothing happened. She reveals that when she took the hit, she regained her true memories. Back at Mikazuki Villa, she explains to everyone: she is a hundred‑year‑old tsukumogami made from a human body, both a doll oddity and a corpse oddity. She has no heart and has always been dead. This is why the Witch’s power of suggestion, which works by influencing emotions, does not affect her as much. She also notes that the Witch let them escape because it was angry at Yotsugi for helping everyone remember the first loop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yotsugi attacks Shinobu. Shinobu blocks the strike. When asked why, Yotsugi coldly says, “Would you mind dying for me real quick?”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt; Yotsugi’s sudden attack on Shinobu was not betrayal but a calculated shock: she remembered that when the Witch cut her into pieces, the trauma restored her own original memories. She reasons that a sufficiently strong physical blow can break through the memory manipulation. Shinobu’s severed leg instantly regenerates as her vampiric powers return, proving the method works. Without warning, Yotsugi then punches Mayoi, knocking her unconscious. When Mayoi wakes, her memories also return, which is triggered by the keyword “lost.” Mayoi explains that their false magical girl powers and wishes were implanted by the Witch, and that they are not inhabitants of this world. She then proposes a new theory: the Kamihama girls did not lose their memories; rather, they come from different points in their own timeline and simply haven’t experienced the shared past yet. Felicia is devastated, fearing she will never have a family again, but Iroha and the others reassure her that in every timeline they will end up together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part II: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, after everyone has gone to sleep, Shinobu summons Yotsugi and Mayoi outside. She admits she does not fully trust Iroha’s group, as they could be the Witch’s minions or mere plot devices. She reveals there may be another way to return to their original world, but she does not elaborate immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group splits up to hunt the elusive Witch. They repeatedly enter labyrinths of other Witches, wasting time. Felicia grows increasingly frustrated, nearly charging into unrelated fights. Yachiyo observes that the Witch seems to want them to fight, so any peaceful, fun activity risks a reset, which is why the first reset happened after their happy dinner and games. She concludes that the Witch is like a director forcing them to act out a “magical girls fighting” plot. Iroha suggests they deliberately provoke the Witch by acting against that plot, hoping to lure it out. However, Yotsugi warns that straying too far might trigger another reset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo formally presents her three‑point theory: (1) The Witch did not pursue them when they fled, (2) it never removed their magical girl powers, and (3) the resets happen when they relax instead of fight. Everyone agrees the plan is to provoke the Witch into appearing. Shinobu then insists on going sightseeing the next day, arguing that one more reset will weaken the Witch’s power further. Despite concerns about resetting again, Tsuruno enthusiastically supports the idea, and the group reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group spends the morning and afternoon touring Kamihama: the radio tower, the school (which they sneak into), an arcade where Yotsugi plays rhythm games with a completely blank expression, and the shopping mall where Shinobu demands to find a donut shop. Tsuruno saves the family restaurant, Banbanzai, for last. As they approach, Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi sense the Witch charging straight at them. The familiar dizziness overcomes everyone, and the world resets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Several hours after the reset, Yotsugi again restores everyone’s memories, as her immunity to the Witch’s suggestion means she still remembers everything. The group notes that more people felt déjà vu this time, suggesting the Witch is weakening. That night, Shinobu privately tells Yotsugi and Mayoi her true alternative plan: she will kill the Kamihama magical girls and consume their power, believing that enough strength will allow her to tear open a gate back to their world. Yotsugi and Mayoi agree to help, though Mayoi is conflicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the town feels eerily deserted. The Witch’s labyrinth is sparse, with only familiars. Following Shinobu’s earlier secret instruction, the group begins shouting insults at the Witch to provoke it. Suddenly, Shinobu strikes Felicia from behind, seemingly killing her. Yachiyo and Tsuruno are horrified. Shinobu, Yotsugi, and Mayoi reveal their betrayal: they intend to slaughter everyone to gain power for a gate home. A brutal fight erupts. Mayoi uses her ability to redirect Yachiyo’s spear attack, causing it to hit Iroha and Sana, who also fall. Tsuruno is overwhelmed, and Yachiyo is mortally wounded. Shinobu stands alone, gloating, but then the “dead” girls suddenly rise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** It was all an act. The group had secretly planned this staged betrayal during the previous night, communicating via handwritten notes to avoid the Witch overhearing. Sana, who makes picture books, wrote the script. The plan had multiple layers: first, they deliberately triggered a second reset by going sightseeing to weaken the Witch; second, they staged a believable in‑fighting scenario to lure the Witch out, because if all the “actors” disappear, the Witch’s story cannot continue. The Witch falls for the trap and appears, enraged by the deception. A full‑scale battle begins. The group coordinates: Iroha and Sana herd familiars for Yotsugi’s “Unlimited Rulebook”; Yachiyo, Shinobu, and Iroha immobilize the Witch; Tsuruno guides Mayoi’s errant drill attack with her flames, piercing the Witch’s front camera. When that does not destroy the labyrinth, Yachiyo and Shinobu realize the front camera was a decoy: the true weak spot is the film at the back. Felicia, launched by Yotsugi like a bullet, smashes the drill deeper, and Yachiyo and Shinobu destroy the film. The labyrinth dissolves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the world fades to mist, Felicia breaks down crying. She does not want this world to end because at Mikazuki Villa she finally felt like she had a family again, and she fears returning to her own timeline where she will be alone. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Sana hug her, promising that no matter the world or timeline, they will surely live together again. Shinobu, Mayoi, and Yotsugi share an awkward, brief hug, concluding they are not the hugging type. Everyone exchanges farewells. Yotsugi tells Felicia, “I’m glad I met you, Felly.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa, yawning. Felicia teases her for sleeping late. Iroha recalls a long, strange dream, both fun and bittersweet, but the details fade upon waking. She only remembers that it was something really special. The day begins again, as if the adventure had never happened, except for the faint warmth left behind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede dreams of a garden where Momoko and Rena help her harvest fantastical vegetables. When she asks about the cream puff tree, Momoko shows her a basket full. The peace breaks when an apartment complex finishes construction behind them, destroying the garden. Kaede remembers this moment: her father announced a new building would block their sunlight, her mother worried they would lose their garden, and in despair, Kaede wished to stop the construction entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The dream shatters and a shadowy version of Kaede appears, accusing her of always running from difficulty. It reminds her she made her wish without considering the people who would have lived in that building, that she ran from Rena rather than face rejection, that she holds back in marathons and skips hard problems. The shadow urges her to keep running until she finds where she belongs and offers its hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kaede admits everything is true: she is weak and useless. But she insists she wants to stay with Momoko and Rena, the friends who matter to her. She asks her shadow to help her become better little by little. The shadow agrees, promising to watch from the garden of her heart. Kaede wakes at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains Kaede blacked out during a Witch battle. Kaede remembers hesitating to transform, a Familiar catching her off guard, and Rena crying out. When another Familiar attacked Rena, Kaede recalled a time Momoko was hurt because of her mistake. Believing herself useless, her Soul Gem turned pitch black. Now awake and purified, she chooses not to run. She asks to join Momoko and Rena, who went ahead to hunt the Witch. Mitama sends her off, confident she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Holiday Nyaprise!====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede asks Mikazuki Villa to watch a lost kitten while her family is away. After Felicia threatens to withhold bedtime hot cocoa, Yachiyo relents and Sana names the cat Gorojirou, or Sir Purrs-a-little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Holiday Nyaprise!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno visits daily to play, and when Gorojirou needs the restroom, Sana rushes it to the litter box just as Yachiyo calls them for lunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia chases the cat until Sana gives her a toy to lure it instead, and they eventually nap together on the couch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou has grown close to everyone, and Iroha tries taking its picture but accidentally films herself instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha shops, Sana watches the cat and Yachiyo admits she avoided getting attached because Gorojirou is temporary, but resolves to make its stay pleasant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou chews Felicia&#039;s favorite sticker, and though Felicia is angry, Sana reminds her the cat leaves tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede returns for Gorojirou, and everyone says a tearful goodbye. As they leave, the cat meows at Sana, who cries happily saying goodbye to her new best friend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Asuka finds herself in a cloud-filled void facing a shadowy version of herself who claims to be the hidden part of Asuka&#039;s heart. The shadow declares Asuka is no longer fit to practice Ryushin-ryu because her blade has been sullied by contracting as a Magical Girl. When Asuka protests, the shadow recounts how Asuka wished for her cousin to become a police officer after his dreams were jeopardized by their uncle&#039;s arrest, arguing that twisting fate with magic was selfish and wrong. The shadow insists that with her heart no longer true, Asuka walks a false path and should abandon her school, urging her to die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her despair, Asuka remembers her father&#039;s words about asking her own heart what is right, like water filling a square bowl. She tells the shadow that perceptions of right and wrong can change with the situation, and though she cannot refute the shadow&#039;s claims, she knows her heart believed her actions were just. Believing words alone cannot reach the shadow, Asuka challenges her to a fight to prove her blade&#039;s strength reflects her sincere heart. The shadow warns that slaying her means slaying herself, but Asuka declares she fears being untrue to herself more than death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their swords clash, and after a long battle, the shadow succumbs to Asuka&#039;s attack and acknowledges her blade was as pure as her heart. The shadow warns she may return in a different form if Asuka&#039;s heart becomes stained again, then vanishes. Asuka awakens near a pond deep in the forest, where she had gone to meditate as part of her training. She remembers the shadow&#039;s promise and considers asking Mitama what it all meant, but feels her father&#039;s words have been engraved in her more deeply now. With her resolve unwavering, she runs back to the dojo, taking a straight path out of the woods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka awakens to find herself in a strange, cloud-filled void. A shadowy copy of herself appears, introducing itself as the part of her she has suppressed deep within her heart. The shadow urges Nanaka to end her pursuit of vengeance, calling it a fruitless endeavor that changes nothing. Nanaka refuses, explaining that the act of revenge itself holds meaning for her, not the result. The shadow questions where vengeance has led her: a life of constant danger in an endless struggle against Witches. Nanaka admits there is nothing to gain from her actions, but her conviction remains unshakable. The shadow then accuses Nanaka of dragging Akira, Kako, and Meiyui into her vengeance, using them to fulfill her goals. Nanaka acknowledges this truth but insists she would never throw their lives away. She believes fate brought them together to fight a common enemy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka recalls the moments before she lost consciousness. Her team had cornered a Witch, but it disappeared and reappeared near a weakened Kako. Nanaka leaped in to shield her, and Akira and Meiyui joined the fight. The shadow suggests Nanaka protected Kako to redeem herself, but Nanaka denies this. The shadow warns it will continue watching from the depths of her heart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka awakens to find her teammates standing over her, relieved she is alive. The Witch is defeated. Nanaka tells Kako not to worry about anything, as they are teammates. Meiyui finds her choice of words unusual, but Akira insists Nanaka see Mitama for a checkup. Kako thanks Nanaka for protecting her. Nanaka smiles, thinking to herself that each of them is their own flower, supporting one another through their shared fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis====&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha announces that a cafe Yachiyo frequents has opened a new location near Mikazuki Villa, and the group decides to visit on opening day. They arrive to find it is actually a Curry House CoCo Ichibanya, and Yachiyo passionately explains the menu options as they wait for the store to open.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the store opens early, the employee announces they cannot open today due to a missing delivery truck carrying ingredients. The employee breaks down in tears, explaining her family came to see her first store opening. The group notices magical energy emanating from the store and decides to help find the truck, promising to return for curry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They investigate at the last store the truck visited. The employee there confirms the truck is missing but provides spare ingredients and explains that stores support each other in times of trouble. The group splits into two teams: one to gather ingredients from other stores, and one to trace the truck&#039;s route. During coordination, they learn a second CoCoIchi truck has also gone missing on the same road.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While gathering ingredients, Tsuruno&#039;s group encounters a lost, hungry girl who flees upon hearing CoCoIchi and nearly crashes into Sana. Afterward, Sana realizes the employee at the new store could see her despite her invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s group follows the road where both trucks disappeared and finds a Witch&#039;s barrier. Inside, they find both trucks and their drivers. Iroha and Ui engage the Witch&#039;s familiars while Yachiyo secures the drivers. Iroha realizes the Witch is targeting the cargo, so she throws curry ingredients at it, causing the Witch to abandon the fight and allowing them to defeat it easily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno calls with urgent news that the store employee is a Magical Girl, her missing little sister is also a Magical Girl, and she has not been able to contact her since yesterday. The group fears the curry-loving Witch they just defeated was the sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the new store, where the employee is preparing their reward curry. Before Iroha can confess, a girl rushes in calling for her sister. It is the employee&#039;s little sister, alive and well. The group realizes the Witch was simply a curry-loving Witch unrelated to the sister. They finally sit down to enjoy the promised curry together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui====&lt;br /&gt;
* Meiyui&#039;s family is helping organize a local event when a stranger stabs one of their members and flees, dropping a badge. Meiyui chooses to tend to the victim rather than give chase, despite his protests that she is being too soft.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many in the organization want revenge, but Meiyui refuses, not wanting to return to their old ways as an evil organization. The members are reluctant to involve the police due to being falsely accused of murder three years prior. Meiyui had contracted with Kyubey back then to expose the truth with her wish, but lingering distrust remains.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui goes alone to track the culprit. The dropped badge leads her to an abandoned company tied to illegal labor her family had helped shut down. After defeating a stray Witch, she is ambushed and kidnapped by a man with a taser.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She wakes handcuffed alongside about ten others. The kidnappers reveal the badge was a trap to lure her. They include a former police officer who had fabricated evidence against her family and associates of the real murderer from that case, all blaming the Blue Seas for ruining their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her Soul Gem is heavily tainted from the Witch fight, and she begins hearing her Doppel&#039;s voice. In a cloudy void, her shadow self insists she should have killed these enemies when she had the chance, arguing her organization cannot survive without dirtying their hands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Meiyui struggles to stay conscious, she uses her last energy to beg the culprits to leave her family alone, insisting they are not a bad group. The stabber dismisses her pleas and suggests killing her as a warning instead. Her Doppel mocks her, saying evil people will always exist no matter how sincerely she tries to live righteously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, her organization members arrive to rescue her. The stabbed victim is among them, now grateful Meiyui had stayed to help him instead of chasing revenge. He admits he used to believe abandoning burdens was the way of the world, but facing death alone showed him he was wrong. He is alive because of Meiyui&#039;s strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hearing this, Meiyui&#039;s mind clears. In the void, her Doppel asks if she is ready to kill them, but Meiyui rejects violence entirely. The Doppel submits, allowing her to put everyone in the area to sleep without bloodshed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The police soon arrive after the kidnapper, persuaded by Meiyui, confesses over the phone. They find several family members asleep everywhere and note a look of complete relief on Meiyui&#039;s sleeping face.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Little Bird&#039;s Star====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe and other Black Feathers are in Fendt Hope, commiserating about their weakness. A White Feather had to bail them out after they were followed by a Witch while delivering a parcel from Mitama&#039;s shop. They discuss Yachiyo Nanami, a veteran Magical Girl who destroys Uwasas.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu and Nemu emerge from a room arguing. Nemu dismisses Mifuyu and approaches the Black Feathers with a request. She asks them to investigate the &amp;quot;Uwasa of the Jealous Coward,&amp;quot; also called the &amp;quot;Green-Eyed Coward.&amp;quot; Kuroe hesitates but agrees when Nemu insists she has the aptitude.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group investigates an area with many students but cannot find the Uwasa. The other Black Feathers leave for personal commitments. Kuroe stays, feeling she has nothing to return to. The Uwasa manifests when Kuroe expresses envy toward the other girls&#039; normal lives. Two Black Feathers are knocked unconscious. Nemu is satisfied with the results and tasks Kuroe with investigating more Uwasas starting tomorrow. Kuroe protests but Nemu leaves before she can refuse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1744.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1743.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The Amane twins, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo, meet Kuroe at Fendt Hope and they begin investigating Uwasas in Sakae Ward but find nothing. They move to Hokuyo Ward. Kuroe notices a missing cat poster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They sense Yachiyo&#039;s group nearby and flee. Yachiyo and Iroha corner Kuroe. The twins escape. Yachiyo interrogates Kuroe. An Uwasa resembling Kuroe appears and attacks, then disappears. Yachiyo accuses Kuroe of controlling it. Kuroe insists she had no knowledge of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo decides to take Kuroe camping to monitor her. At the campground, the Amane twins briefly contact Kuroe and say they will consult Nemu, so Kuroe resolves to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe helps Iroha gather firewood. Iroha is scared by a caterpillar and Kuroe removes it. Kuroe introduces herself by name. She helps the group set up their tent and prepare lunch, using skills learned from Wings of Magius training. She reminds herself not to get drawn into their warm atmosphere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mentions a waterfall power spot. Kuroe offers to get water. Iroha accompanies her. They get lost. A woman helps Kuroe find the waterfall and gives her an empty bottle. The woman explains the place is her personal power spot for resetting her mind. Kuroe wishes she had strength to face the future. The Uwasa appears and attacks the woman. Iroha arrives and finds the woman unconscious. Kuroe begs Iroha for help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe carries the unconscious woman back to the campsite. The Amane twins inform her that Nemu says she is possessed by the Uwasa and should stay with Yachiyo&#039;s group. Yachiyo warns that if more casualties occur, she will destroy the Uwasa. Iroha suggests keeping Kuroe for observation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group participates in a stamp rally and Iroha and Kuroe pair up. They discover they are both from Takarazaki. Iroha explains she moved to Kamihama to find her missing sister. Suddenly, a Witch appears and Kuroe and Iroha fight it together. Kuroe acts as a decoy while Iroha defeats the Witch. Kuroe feels inadequate compared to Iroha&#039;s courage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe asks for time alone and she reflects on her fears and envy. The Uwasa appears again, resembling Kuroe. The group fights it and Iroha urges Kuroe to destroy the Uwasa. Kuroe admits she is afraid she cannot be herself, so she and Iroha destroy the Uwasa together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amane twins inform Kuroe they must report the Uwasa&#039;s destruction, yet Kuroe does not regret it. Iroha asks to talk with Kuroe and Yachiyo offers them tea. Kuroe admits she feels safe with the Wings of Magius because they represent hope for her. Iroha accepts this and Kuroe tells Iroha she wants to be like her someday. They part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe finds the missing cat and returns it to its owner, who is overjoyed. Kuroe realizes she saved someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe reports to Nemu and Mifuyu. Nemu reveals the Uwasa summons itself based on dissatisfaction and envy. Nemu admits she expected Yachiyo&#039;s group to handle an accident with the Uwasa. However, Nemu is satisfied that she now has more research on fusing Uwasa with Magical Girls, however Mifuyu warns Nemu not to experiment on the Feathers. Kuroe realizes that even the Magius are imperfect and she reflects on her long day. She resolves to do her best, one step at a time, and hopes to see Iroha again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 7th==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia and Sana decide to buy matching coasters as a gift for Yachiyo, to show their appreciation, and after some searching, they find a suitable set.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: Memories That Reveal the Truth]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 8th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the plan to present the gift is interrupted when Mifuyu Azusa arrives at the villa before Yachiyo returns home. The girls&#039; plan was for Iroha to wait inside while the others came from outside to surprise Yachiyo. Mifuyu prepares tea and reveals one of the two mugs on the top shelf, which Yachiyo forbade Iroha from using, belongs to her. Mifuyu invites Iroha to a lecture hosted by the Wings of the Magius to explain their goal of &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls. The lecture is scheduled for two days later at the Memory Museum and Iroha agrees to investigate the Rumor about the museum first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo returns home and is visibly distressed to find Mifuyu there. Mifuyu leaves, asking Iroha to inform the others about the lecture. Before finally leaving, Mifuyu returns to speak to Yachiyo privately. She references a &amp;quot;promise&amp;quot; they made a year ago, and accuses Yachiyo of returning to her old ways. Yachiyo insists her relationship with Iroha and the others is &amp;quot;just cooperating.&amp;quot; Yachiyo retreats to her room without receiving the coasters. That night, Yachiyo reflects on her past, resolving to return to the person she once was.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 9th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the lecture, Iroha is unable to give Yachiyo the coasters due to Yachiyo&#039;s low spirits. Iroha discusses her plan to attend the Wings of the Magius lecture with Madoka Kaname via text. Iroha then attempts to investigate the Rumor of the Memory Museum. Yachiyo claims no knowledge of it and leaves for school. Iroha and Momoko ask Mitama, who refuses to share information to maintain her neutrality. After the visit, Mitama has a separate conversation with Momoko about Momoko&#039;s own secret, advising her to tell her friends the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede and Rena help Iroha by summoning the creature that recites the Rumor of the Memory Museum, which allows people to view researched memories. Tsuruno&#039;s father provides the location of the similar-sounding &amp;quot;Kamihama Memorial Museum.&amp;quot; That evening, Yachiyo refuses to join the investigation, reiterating that her relationship with the others is strictly professional, which saddens Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Saturday, the 10th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the lecture, Yachiyo again refuses to go to the museum and Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana go to the Kamihama Memorial Museum without her. There, they are greeted by Touka Satomi, who reveals herself as one of the three Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently at Mikazuki, Yachiyo, haunted by memories of past friends, decides she must investigate the Memory Museum herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Touka throne 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka Satomi gives them a lecture titled &amp;quot;The Truth Behind Magical Girls.&amp;quot; She presents three key items through illustrative stories:&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 1: Soul Gems. A story reveals that a Soul Gem is a Magical Girl&#039;s actual soul. Using magic consumes this life force, and if the gem shatters, the Magical Girl dies. Touka uses an analogy of an internal vs. external battery to explain Soul Gems and Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 2: Witches. A second story demonstrates that when a Magical Girl&#039;s Soul Gem becomes fully corrupted, she transforms into a Witch. This revelation traumatizes Felicia, who realizes the Witches she has been killing were once Magical Girls and that she herself is destined to become one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 3: Doppels. A third story explains that in Kamihama City, a fully corrupted Soul Gem can manifest a &amp;quot;Doppel&amp;quot; instead of a Witch. The Wings of the Magius present this as the key to &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls from their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* To prove their claims, Touka and Mifuyu Azusa activate the Memory Museum&#039;s Rumor. Mifuyu presents a book containing her own memories, inviting the group to witness the truth of the lecture firsthand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo arrives at the museum and confronts Touka. She is shown into the memory dimension where Iroha and the others are and Mifuyu activates the Rumor, forcing the group to relive her memories. The memories depict Yachiyo&#039;s former team, Mikazuki Villa:&lt;br /&gt;
** The first memory shows Kanae Yukino sacrificing herself to reveal a Witch&#039;s weakness. Her uninjured body is found next to her shattered Soul Gem, proving the Soul Gem is the Magical Girl&#039;s life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second memory shows Mel Anna using too much magic to protect Yachiyo. With no Grief Seed to purify her fully corrupted Soul Gem, Mel transforms into a Witch before the team&#039;s eyes, confirming Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The third memory shows Mifuyu&#039;s despair six months after Mel&#039;s death, causing her Soul Gem to corrupt fully. Instead of becoming a Witch, she manifests a Doppel. Touka then appears and recruits her into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno is consumed by guilt over Mel&#039;s death, believing her absence that day was the cause. Felicia is horrified, realizing the Witches she killed were Magical Girls and Sana is terrified but feels powerless to change the system. Touka and Mifuyu use this emotional vulnerability to press their recruitment offers to each girl, promising a world where these tragedies are impossible and even suggesting Sana could be freed from her wish of invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo reject the offer to join and Yachiyo compares the Magius&#039; methods to Kyubey&#039;s, accusing them of exploiting weaknesses. Yachiyo then announces she is disbanding their team, which Iroha protests, but Yachiyo insists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka reveals that Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana have been brainwashed and now serve the Wings of the Magius. Alina Gray arrives and traps Iroha and Yachiyo within her Labyrinth and leaves them to face a Witch. As they fight the Witch, Yachiyo reiterates her decision to disband the team and work alone. She reveals her wish was &amp;quot;I want to survive,&amp;quot; and explains that she interprets this as a curse: the power to survive by sacrificing her teammates, based on the last words of her former comrades, Kanae and Mel, who both died while she lived. Yachiyo believes that to protect Iroha, she must sever their partnership.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha rejects Yachiyo&#039;s conclusion. She declares she will defeat the Uwasa alone to prove Yachiyo&#039;s &amp;quot;curse&amp;quot; is not real and that she can protect Yachiyo. Iroha states she is angry that Yachiyo made this decision for everyone and vows to rescue their brainwashed friends. She defeats the Witch and rejects Yachiyo&#039;s belief in a cursed wish and declares herself the new leader to nullify its perceived effect. Yachiyo relents and agrees to work with Iroha to save their friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the same time, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, having detected Mami&#039;s magic while investigating Kamihama, investigate the closed Kamihama Recording Museum. They are attacked by the Wings of the Magius. While Madoka and Homura hold them off, Sayaka proceeds and witnesses Mami, transformed into &amp;quot;Holy Mami,&amp;quot; attacking Iroha and Yachiyo. It is here that Sayaka learns the horrific truth that Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: A Stand-Off With Fate]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, now a brainwashed member of the Wings of the Magius, confronts them. As Iroha and Yachiyo are too injured to fight, Sayaka Miki arrives and intervenes. Sayaka uses a bomb from Homura to create a diversion, allowing the three to escape.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After their escape, Sayaka gives Iroha a Grief Seed. Iroha explains the truth about Witches and the Wings of the Magius to Sayaka, who is horrified. Sayaka leaves to process this information and Iroha and Yachiyo walk home in silence to reflect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After fleeing the museum, Sayaka reunites with Madoka and Homura, defeats their pursuers in a distraught state, and explains what happened to Mami to them, as well as the truth about becoming Witches.The group returns to Mitakihara in silence but Madoka resolves to find a way to avoid their fate and to save Mami. Sayaka agrees to fight back as well and later decides to meet with Kyoko Sakura.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, at Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo reaffirm their commitment to save their friends and Momoko arrives, having told the secret of Magical Girls to Rena and Kaede. Yachiyo also apologizes for her actions and explains her fears about her wish. Momoko forgives her and reaffirms their friendship. Iroha then receives a text from Madoka, who promises to come to Kamihama to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Sayaka meets Kyoko and reveals the truth about Witches. Kyoko deduces this is what the Wings of the Magius meant by &amp;quot;saving&amp;quot; Magical Girls. Kyoko declares she will find a way to avoid becoming a Witch and confront the Wings of the Magius alone, rejecting Sayaka&#039;s offer of help. Despite Sayaka&#039;s protests, Kyoko leaves to operate solo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Likely during this time, Yachiyo pulls out a box containing what her former friends Kanae Yukino and Mel Anna left behind. She has never opened it since filling it and spends the entire day staring at it, unable to lift the lid. When Iroha arrives and asks about it, Yachiyo explains and admits she is trying to work through her feelings. Iroha offers to help, but Yachiyo deflects, reminding her they were supposed to visit Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls visit Mitama Yakumo and present Grief Seeds as payment for adjustment. Mitama is surprised by the offering and promises to do her best, but she expresses concern about Yachiyo&#039;s emotional state. She suggests Yachiyo clear up her issues with the box before moving forward and offers to adjust both girls at once as a special exception.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Mitama works on her, Yachiyo finds herself in a gray room confronted by a shadowy doppelganger. The shadow accuses her of being afraid of the future and clinging to the past. When Yachiyo refuses to give in to despair, the shadow transforms into her doppel, but she stands firm, accepting her fear while choosing to move forward. Iroha appears beside her, and together they bid farewell to visions of Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo awakens and realizes Mitama adjusted them together intentionally, trusting Iroha could help her if needed. She thanks Mitama for looking out for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at her house, Yachiyo finally opens the box with Iroha beside her. Inside, Kanae left a book of lyrics about becoming a circle with others, and Mel left fortune telling impressions predicting a future where many magical girls would gather in Kamihama. Yachiyo cries as she reads their words. Iroha suggests they head toward that gentle future together. Yachiyo agrees but says first they need to get back their own three points: Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha resolves to find her lost friends and mentally tells Ui to wait a bit longer. Iroha and Yachiyo finish cleaning their house. Iroha resolves to give the coasters she and the others bought for Yachiyo when everyone is reunited. Iroha says she sent a message to Madoka in Mitakihara City, but hasn&#039;t gotten a response.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 7: Awakening to Paradise]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Immediately after Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana are taken, Mifuyu reports to Touka and Alina that the brainwashing on the three is holding, so Touka selects Tsuruno for a mission, which Alina states will involve &amp;quot;mass murder.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in her room, Iroha thinks back to when she celebrated Christmas with her friends, but resolves to keep going with her mission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sunday, the 11th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo investigate the Kamihama Rumor Files at Mikazuki Villa. Iroha recognizes some of the Rumors. They meet with Momoko, who mentions Tsuruno&#039;s perfect school attendance record is now broken and that a new amusement park is also opening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo visit Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant and her father reveals Tsuruno and Felicia visited once. Tsuruno told him she found a place where she feels safe and would not return and he notes her expression was blank, similar to how she looked a year ago after Mel&#039;s death. Afterwards, a White Feather ambushes Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will be used for a mission like Tsuruno, and the two fight off the attacker.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Monday, the 12th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo devise a plan to destroy Rumors across Kamihama to lure out the Wings of the Magius and locate their base. They share this plan with Momoko, who offers to help by getting Grief Seeds for them while they hunt. Momoko then goes to check on Kaede, who is hiding in her room. She hugs Kaede and tells her she and Rena will always be there to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo systematically hunt Rumors like the &amp;quot;Historical Battle Marker,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Castle Town Illusion,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Headless Biker Gang,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Puzzle Tiles Lock,&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;Fashion Monster.&amp;quot; They also interrogate captured Feathers, but none reveal information about Tsuruno, Felicia, or Sana&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Momoko investigates a rapidly spreading rumor about a new amusement park. She notes it originated in the east and spread west through Sakae, Mizuna, and Shinsei Wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha and Yachiyo analyze the Kamihama Rumor Files, marking all known Rumor locations on a map. They identify a pattern: Rumors cluster more densely in Shinsei Ward, with a notable concentration around Satomi Medical Center, the hospital where Ui was supposedly treated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They travel to the hospital area and are ambushed by Feathers. Felicia and Sana, who had broken free of the brainwashing, arrive and help fight off the attackers. The four Magical Girls reunite and Felicia and Sana reveal they pretended to be brainwashed to gather information. Momoko confirms the amusement park rumor spread from east to west and will open at dawn in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Sana explain to Yachiyo and Iroha that Mifuyu used her illusion magic to break their brainwashing. Mifuyu revealed the Magius are protecting and strengthening Witches for their liberation plan and are planning to use the brainwashed Magical Girls to cross a dangerous line. Mifuyu attempted to free Tsuruno but failed, as Tsuruno&#039;s reason for being brainwashed was different. Mifuyu then helped Felicia and Sana escape but chose to remain behind, stating they would be enemies next time they meet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko arrives and shares her investigation into a new Rumor about an amusement park opening at dawn in two days. She confirms it spread from the east, and the group overlays the Rumor locations on a map and identifies a pattern suggesting a source or &amp;quot;eye of the storm&amp;quot; in the eastern wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kanagi screenshot.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo decides to contact Kanagi Izumi, the powerful Magical Girl who controls the eastern Daito and Kosho Wards and is a former rival of hers. Kanagi agrees to an alliance, and during their call, Tsukasa of the Wings of the Magius arrives at Kanagi&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tuesday, the 13th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The morning, Felicia and Sana try to accompany Iroha and Yachiyo but are told to rest due to their collapse the previous night. Iroha and Yachiyo leave them behind. Meanwhile in Kosho Ward, Iroha, Yachiyo, Momoko, and Kanagi meet and Kanagi agrees to ally with them against the Wings of the Magius. They combine their Rumor data on a map, which reveals a circular pattern with a vacant center in Kosho Ward and Kanagi identifies the old railway yard as the likely location of the Wings&#039; base.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After learning the truth about Witches, Madoka questions Kyubey about a way to avoid becoming a Witch. Kyubey states he knows of no method and reveals he cannot enter Kamihama City himself. He proposes an alliance to investigate the Wings of the Magius but Madoka refuses to promise cooperation. She resolves to return to Kamihama with her friends, but then a Witch from Kamihama appears in Mitakihara.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 7: Eve of the Awakening]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Around this time, Kyoko successfully infiltrates the Wings of the Magius. She is assigned to a team tasked with dealing with a group that erases Rumors, which she suspects is Iroha&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s group travels to the railway yard but finds it empty. They are ambushed by Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who summon Witches and during the battle, Kanagi uses her unique power to read Iroha&#039;s true intentions and confirms her sincerity. Kanagi then joins the fight and helps defeat the Amane sisters and their Black Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi uses her power on the defeated Amane sisters to read their minds and she learns that Tsuruno is still completely brainwashed and has become part of an Uwasa to protect it. She also learns Tsuruno&#039;s location is at the Ferris Wheel Field in Daito Ward and the group prepares to move out immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The team arrives in Daito Ward, where Yachiyo and Iroha plan to enter the &amp;quot;amusement park&amp;quot; Rumor to save Tsuruno, while Felicia, Sana, Momoko, and Kanagi hold off the Wings of the Magius. The group locates the Rumor&#039;s entrance and Kanagi and Momoko stay behind to fight the Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo proceed and confront Alina, Touka, and Mifuyu, where Alina declares her intent to erase them. During the battle, Mifuyu secretly tells Yachiyo that destroying the main Uwasa will kill Tsuruno, and that they must instead tear the Uwasa from her by connecting with her heart. Mifuyu also reveals Tsuruno is in a Ferris wheel car.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101705 uwasatsuruno.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo enter the Rumor, &amp;quot;Chelation Land,&amp;quot; which induces a hazy, thoughtless state. They find Tsuruno, who has fully merged with the Uwasa and acts as the park&#039;s host. Tsuruno tries to force them to relax and stay, serving them hotpot in mugs reminiscent of Mikazuki Villa, but they refuse and attempt to reason with Tsuruno, and she attacks them. Following Mifuyu&#039;s advice, they combine their magic to tear the Uwasa from Tsuruno in one powerful strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nemu02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After Tsuruno is freed from the Uwasa, Yachiyo realizes that Tsuruno&#039;s cheerful demeanor was a facade to hide her pain and guilt over past events, including the death of Mel. The team defeats the main Uwasa of Chelation Land and the Magius, Touka, Nemu Hiiragi, and Alina, confront the group. Nemu reveals she is the &amp;quot;Creator&amp;quot; of all the Rumors in Kamihama and the Magius explain their goal: to use the energy generated by Rumors and Witches to hatch &amp;quot;Embryo Eve,&amp;quot; a being that will liberate all Magical Girls worldwide from the fate of becoming Witches. They state the phenomenon requires the presence of all three Magius and a massive energy source, for which they have used the people of Kamihama and the teams part ways in opposition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 14th==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101701 coaster02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, at Mikazuki Villa, the team summarizes the Magius&#039; plan and that Kamihama is an incubator for Embryo Eve. They resolve to stop the Magius due to the plan&#039;s high human cost and the group gives Yachiyo the set of sakura blossom-themed coasters as a symbol of their team unity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka are separately attacked by multiple Kamihama Witches in Mitakihara before reuniting. They realize the Witch incursion is a coordinated attack meant to prevent them from leaving Mitakihara. Their magic and Grief Seed reserves are heavily depleted in the constant battles.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the ongoing Witch attacks, the trio is overwhelmed by a powerful Witch and is forced to retreat. Sayaka breaks down, admitting her terror of becoming a Witch and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka share their fears and resolve to face the threat together. They are observed by Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, who imply the attack is part of their plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Later that day, the three defeat the Feathers sent to observe them, and after interrogating them, they receive a message from Iroha about how to save Mami. Holy Mami arrives to Mitakihara and reveals she brought the Witches to Mitakihara to keep the three of them &amp;quot;safe,&amp;quot; and insists the Magius will save them. Alina Gray also appears and traps Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka in a Barrier, which Mami seals with her ribbons.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her infiltration, Kyoko is taken to Hotel Fenthope by Mifuyu Azusa. She confronts Holy Mami, accusing her of not being the real Mami Tomoe. Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi arrive and reinforce the Rumor brainwashing on Mami. Mifuyu secretly escorts Kyoko away and reveals the Magius&#039; plans: they are using a mysterious entity called &amp;quot;Eve&amp;quot; to liberate Magical Girls and are deliberately bringing Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama to hatch it. Horrified, Kyoko rejects the Magius and is led out of the city by Mifuyu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Once More From Here]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko arrives in Mitakihara and frees Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka from Alina&#039;s Barrier. She explains the Magius&#039; plan to bring Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama and Homura urges the group to stay in Mitakihara for safety. Kyoko departs alone, later resolving to return and crush the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Iroha has a sudden memory flashback to the hospital, triggered by the word &amp;quot;sakura.&amp;quot; She remembers a story she, Ui, Touka, and Nemu created about the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot; She deduces this Rumor is real and located at the hospital, and that all the Rumors were created there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Touka and Nemu observe that Embryo Eve has reached a critical state and they confirm that a legendary, cross-dimensional event they foresaw: the arrival of Walpurgisnacht, will provide the final, massive energy surge needed to hatch Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo calls a meeting with the Mikazuki Villa household, Tsuruno, and the Momoko trio to share her concern that rumors persist even after they defeat the Uwasa themselves. The group splits up to investigate whether the original Uwasa have truly vanished or transformed into something new.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Hereafter]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko, Kaede, and Rena investigate the Breakup Staircase and find only scattered internet gossip remains. During their search, lingering tensions surface over Rena&#039;s painful memories of when Kaede was kidnapped by that Uwasa, but the trio ultimately reconciles and continues working together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno visit Mizuna Shrine, where the Séance Shrine Uwasa has transformed into a popular spot for relationship prayers with new mascots. They encounter a grieving girl who comes daily to pray for her deceased friend, and Yachiyo is reminded of her own departed companions Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Felicia track down the man behind the revived Misery Water rumor, who confesses he was scammed into buying the water and cannot bring himself to deceive others. Felicia helps him find honest work, and the rumors die out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana investigates an online forum where troubled users make veiled threats, but the rumor fades without incident. Tsuruno and Iroha check Chelation Land, where Tsuruno reflects on her past brainwashing and muses about whether some Uwasa exist independently of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The groups reconvene and report that all investigated rumors have left minimal traces. Yachiyo concludes their investigation of the Uwasa is complete, and only the Wings of Magius themselves remain to be confronted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voices from Beyond, Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the afterlife, Mel Anna meets Kanae Yukino, another Magical Girl ghost who also died fighting a Witch. Mel is thrilled to discover they were both on a team with Yachiyo Nanami and calls Kanae her senpai. Kanae takes Mel to a ghost cafe where deceased Magical Girls gather, explaining they cannot interact with the living world except through psychics.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Voices From Beyond]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they wander Kamihama, Mel notices Witch numbers rising dramatically and worries about Yachiyo. They follow Yachiyo and are relieved to find she has new companions in Iroha Tamaki and others, though they remain concerned about their former teammate Mifuyu&#039;s absence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, they watch helplessly as Yachiyo battles the Wings of Magius and eventually enters the Memory Museum, where she relives the trauma of losing Mel and Kanae. When Yachiyo dissolves her team afterward, convinced her magic causes others to die for her, the ghosts desperately try to reach her. Kanae notices Yachiyo kept their mementos: Mel&#039;s fortune log and Kanae&#039;s notebook. They focus their thoughts on these items, and that night, Yachiyo discovers their messages—Kanae&#039;s lyrics about forming a circle and Mel&#039;s fortune predicting the current events. Grateful, she resolves to move forward. Their successful contact gets their ghost licenses suspended, and they watch Yachiyo&#039;s dream of their encounter before fading.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 15th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius initiate a city-wide offensive, unleashing powerful Witches and sending brainwashed Black and White Feathers to indiscriminately attack other Magical Girls. Mami delivers a declaration of war to Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will no longer delay their plan for &amp;quot;freedom.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Kamihama, Painted in Fiction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magical Girls of Kamihama form a coordinated response and Yachiyo&#039;s team devises a strategy: first, eliminate the unleashed Witches; second, protect other Magical Girls and direct them to Mitama&#039;s shop as a safe haven; third, deal with the rampaging Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, recalling the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; in Hokuyo Ward, theorizes it could be the location of the Magius&#039; hidden base. Yachiyo approves Iroha and Sana to investigate this lead separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next several hours, the teams execute the plan. Yachiyo rescues Ren from a Black Feather and escorts her to Mitama&#039;s shop. Kaede Afinds Konomi protecting an injured Kako; together they defeat a Witch and get Kako to safety. Rena aids Asuka and Sasara, later teaming with Ria and Manaka to defeat a Witch. Momoko and Aimi rescue Kokoro and Masara from Feathers. Tsuruno works with Hinano to eliminate a Witch and warns her about the Feathers. Felicia fights alongside Akira and Nanaka&#039;s group, eventually reuniting with Tsuruno. Kanagi protects Himika from Feathers and sends her to Mitama&#039;s. Yachiyo and Kanagi also rescue Riko and Ayaka from Feather attacks and track the enemy to a heliport. Yachiyo, Kanagi, Momoko&#039;s team, and Tsuruno&#039;s team successfully clear the city of the powerful Witches and they rescue and guide numerous Magical Girls to Mitama&#039;s shop. Momoko confronts Mitama, challenging her to abandon her neutral stance and Mitama agrees to allow her shop to be used as a headquarters and to share her knowledge about the Magius&#039; plans.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama reveals the truth that Magical Girls are destined to become Witches, and that the Magius aim to use the energy from Embryo Eve to spread the Doppel phenomenon worldwide, preventing this fate. However, their methods involve sacrificing the citizens of Kamihama and other Magical Girls to gather this energy, so the Magical Girls at the shelter decide to join the fight against the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, in Chuo Ward, Yachiyo and Kanagi are ambushed by Mami and a horde of brainwashed Feathers at the Kamihama Central Tower heliport. The battle is difficult due to the Feathers&#039; numbers and Mami&#039;s enhanced power from the Uwasa. Kanagi reads Mami&#039;s mind and finds her personality has been completely overwritten by the Uwasa&#039;s influence, leaving only her devotion to the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia then arrive as reinforcements and during the fight, a Black Feather loses her &amp;quot;Receiver Pendant.&amp;quot; Kanagi reads this Feather&#039;s mind, uncovering that the Feathers&#039; berserk state is caused by the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Receiver Pendant,&amp;quot; which numbs their emotions and forces them to obey the Magius&#039; orders. The memory also reveals the three Magius orchestrating the attack to harvest emotional energy from the chaos, believing it will bring their utopia closer. The Feather who lost her pendant then begins to regain her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team battles the brainwashed Mami and the Wings of the Magius. With the help of Momoko&#039;s team and Kanagi&#039;s ability to read the enemy&#039;s weakness, they remove the Uwasa from Mami, freeing her from its control. Mami collapses from exhaustion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Homura pleads with Madoka and Sayaka not to go to Kamihama, fearing for their lives against Walpurgisnacht. After initial hesitation, Madoka and Sayaka resolve to go and Homura agrees to accompany them. The trio leaves for Kamihama but cannot contact Iroha Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Upon arriving in Kamihama, the three are attacked by brainwashed Black Feathers in Sakae Ward, but the Feathers suddenly regain their senses and flee. The trio pursues them into Central Ward and meets Kanoko Yayoi, Karin Misono, and Natsuki Utsuho. They learn that other Magical Girls are gathering at Mitama Yakumo&#039;s office and Karin reveals she saw Nanaka Tokiwa carrying an unconscious Mami there. The group goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds Mami, who has been freed from the Magius&#039; control and awakens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius then execute their plan: they cause a city-wide blackout and seize control of Kamihama&#039;s radio waves and power grid. They use Nemu&#039;s power to project a false utopia over the city, attracting Witches, and Touka&#039;s power to send a signal that summons the legendary Witch, Walpurgisnacht. Their goal is to use the chaos and emotional energy to hatch &amp;quot;Eve.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana infiltrate the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; Labyrinth, initially having their presence hidden due to Sana&#039;s unique magic. There, Iroha confronts Touka and Nemu, using the Uwasa itself as proof that her memories of their shared past with Ui are real. Despite this, Touka and Nemu don&#039;t believe her and refuse to halt their plans. Alina arrives, captures Iroha, and takes her to their main base, Hotel Fendt Hope. Afterwards, Sana escapes and informs Yachiyo&#039;s arriving team of Iroha&#039;s capture.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Mitama reveals she previously supplied the Wings with Grief Seeds in exchange for neutrality but has now chosen to side with Yachiyo&#039;s team against them. Mami herself awakens, now having reconciled with her inner turmoil. Now, Yachiyo&#039;s team, reinforced by Momoko&#039;s team and Mami, prepares to assault Hotel Fendt Hope to rescue Iroha and stop the Magius before Walpurgisnacht arrives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, freed from the Uwasa&#039;s influence, resolves to expose the Magius&#039; true plans to the Feathers and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka decide to support her instead of joining Iroha&#039;s group. Nanaka and her team escort them to the heliport and during the journey, Mami explains to Nanaka that the Feathers&#039; loyalty was placed not in the Magius themselves, but in Mifuyu Azusa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 9: Take My Hand]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the heliport, Mami arrives where the exhausted Feathers and Kamihama Magical Girls are at a stalemate. She reveals the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice hundreds of civilians, including the Feathers&#039; own friends and family, to Walpurgisnacht. She also details their previous use of the Chelation Land Rumor for a similar purpose and the Feathers are shocked and dismayed. Some even accuse Mami of hypocrisy, which she does not deny.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Feathers split into two factions: one that still desires liberation at any cost and another that vows to protect Kamihama. A fight breaks out between them and Madoka and the others defend Mami, declaring their unwavering friendship. Moved, Mami asks the Feathers if they have anyone they trust unconditionally, as she now does, and the Feathers state they trust Mifuyu and demand to hear the truth from her directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami entrusts the Feathers to Nanaka&#039;s team, while she, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka then proceed to Hotel Fendthope to aid Iroha. On the way, Mami thanks her friends and asks them to rely on her as an equal ally and friend, not as a veteran. They arrive at the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Mitama is guarding the entrance. She confirms she is aware of Mami&#039;s past struggles and allows the group to pass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 16th==&lt;br /&gt;
* At Hotel Fendt Hope, Sana infiltrates the hotel to find Iroha and she overhears Feathers discussing Iroha&#039;s location and heads there. Iroha is held in a cell and, with her Soul Gem confiscated, she reflects on her memories of Ui, Touka, and Nemu and resolves to stop the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their plans and Alina demands Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem and body be brought to her. A weather report at the same time indicates the approach of Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana locates Iroha&#039;s cell, and she breaks Iroha out, but the act of breaking the cell door triggers an Uwasa, as the entire building is part of a Rumor. Sana defeats the Uwasa and as they flee, they are ambushed by Black Feathers. Kyoko Sakura, who was undergoing an orientation with the Feathers but decided against joining them, intervenes and helps defeat the attackers as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha explains the Magius&#039; goal is to summon Walpurgisnacht, and Kyoko reveals the Magius also plan to use Iroha, Mifuyu, and the Amane sisters as nourishment for &amp;quot;Eve,&amp;quot; the core of the system. Suddenly, Iroha collapses and stops breathing due to the distance from her Soul Gem. A Black Feather who pretended to be unconscious seizes Iroha&#039;s body and escapes with it, and Sana and Kyoko give chase.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team enters the Hotel Fendt Hope through the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth and they split into two teams: Yachiyo&#039;s group heads to the top floor to rescue Mifuyu and the Amane sisters, while Momoko&#039;s group searches for Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team finds Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa unconscious, their bodies separated from their Soul Gems. They quickly recover the Soul Gems, reviving the three, and Mifuyu confirms the Magius summoned Walpurgisnacht to provide energy to hatch Eve. Mifuyu and the Amane sisters renounce the Magius and join Yachiyo&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Iroha is transported by a Black Feather who reveals her motivation: her younger sister turned into a Witch, and she supports the Magius to prevent others from suffering the same fate. Momoko&#039;s team intercepts them and rescues Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko and Sana fight their way through the hotel and reunite with the main group. Momoko&#039;s team recovers a bag containing Iroha&#039;s, Mifuyu&#039;s, and the Amane sisters&#039; Soul Gems. A group of Feathers from the East confronts them but is persuaded by Kanagi to stand down, and they retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the teams reunited, the full coalition of Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, Kanagi, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Kyoko regroups. They possess all the stolen Soul Gems and are united in their goal to stop the Magius and confront Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team&#039;s path to the underground chapel is blocked and Mifuyu determines the magical building, a Rumor crafted by Nemu Hiiragi, has been reconfigured. Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa attempt to break the blockade, but a powerful magical wind erupts, separating the group. Mifuyu, the Amane sisters, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, and Kyoko are blown outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, Sana, Felicia, Tsuruno, and Kanagi remain inside and they defeat an Uwasa that attacks them. Mifuyu communicates from outside that they are locked out, and she devises a new plan: her group will gather other Kamihama Magical Girls to attack and destroy the Uwasa of Hotel Fendt Hope itself, which will collapse the building. She instructs Yachiyo&#039;s group to hurry to the underground chapel for safety before the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu&#039;s group fights off Witches released by Alina Gray as a defense measure. Mami, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka also arrive and assist them. After the battle, Mami convinces Mifuyu to address all the Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, and using the Amane sisters&#039; sound magic, Mifuyu broadcasts a telepathic message across Kamihama, revealing the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice civilians and summon Walpurgisnacht. She urges the Feathers to lay down their arms and prepare to fight the legendary Witch. Many Feathers also heed her call and defect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami then uses her magic to create a small opening in the building&#039;s barrier and enters Hotel Fendt Hope alone to rejoin Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kyoko is noted to be absent. Yachiyo&#039;s team searches for the entrance to the underground chapel and Mami reveals she concealed the entrance with her magic. She severs the ribbon hiding the path, officially breaking her ties with the Wings of the Magius and Mami then leaves to assist with the attack on the Uwasa of Fendt Hope outside. Kyoko meets Mami along the way and gives her a Grief Seed before they both exit the building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team then encounters false copies of Touka, Nemu, and Alina from the Mirror Witch&#039;s barrier; they realize the fakes speak differently and defeat them before continuing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, Mifuyu&#039;s group, now joined by Mami, Kyoko, and the Feathers who defected, attacks the Uwasa of Fendt Hope. Despite a coordinated assault, the Uwasa proves extremely resilient and withstands their combined power. The battle continues as the city-wide weather disaster escalates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team proceeds down a long staircase into a deep, dark underground area filled with strong magical impurities. Along the way, they are confronted by Mirror copies of themselves that voice their deepest insecurities, but each member overcomes their own doubts by relying on their friends. In the underground chapel, they find Alina, Nemu, and Touka waiting for them. At the back of the chapel, they see the massive, unhatched form of the Witch known as Embryo Eve. They reveal the full scope of their plan. They explain that Kyubey&#039;s true mission is to harvest the emotional energy of Magical Girls to counteract the universe&#039;s heat death. The cycle of hope and despair, culminating in a Magical Girl&#039;s transformation into a Witch, produces the necessary energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius intend to usurp this system. They plan to use the phase transition energy from Eve&#039;s transformation into a full Witch to create a permanent forcefield over Kamihama. This field would allow Magical Girls to release their impurities as Doppels instead of becoming Witches, and the energy would be fed back to the universe, making Kyubey and new Magical Girl contracts obsolete. The imminent arrival of Walpurgisnacht is a key part of their plan, as its destruction by Eve will provide the massive energy required.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Despite understanding the plan, Iroha and her team refuse to accept the Magius&#039; methods or their control over the future. The Magius argue that without their plan, Walpurgisnacht will destroy the city regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 2.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, the battle against the Uwasa of Fendt Hope continues. Realizing they are losing, Mifuyu uses a dangerous self-illusion to unleash all her magic at once in a final attack. She destroys the Uwasa but becomes incapacitated in the process as her Soul Gem starts breaking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the chapel, the destruction of the Uwasa causes Fendt Hope&#039;s Labyrinth to collapse, and the chapel is exposed to the outside as the building disappears. After the collapse of Hotel Fendt Hope, the teams reunite in the forest as the Labyrinth vanishes. Yachiyo learns that Mifuyu was severely injured destroying the Uwasa and was taken to Mitama for treatment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius appear with Embryo Eve, now freed from the chapel, and they prepare to fully release Eve so it can devour the approaching Walpurgisnacht. A battle ensues as the teams try to stop them and Iroha and Sana break through the defensive line of Familiars to attack Eve directly. Iroha&#039;s attack on Eve fails and Eve captures Iroha but does not harm her. A bright light emanates from Iroha, allowing Sana to rescue her. Sana reveals she possesses a branch from the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, which was not in bloom when she received it. The branch suddenly blossoms after Iroha touches Eve and Iroha realizes that Embryo Eve is her missing sister, Ui Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana confront Embryo Eve on Takayama Mountain and Iroha believes Eve is her sister, Ui Tamaki, but Eve breaks free from the mountain and begins to move toward Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama City, Walpurgisnacht approaches from the sea, accompanied by a massive horde of Familiars that begin to swarm the city. Magical Girl teams led by Hinano Miyako and Nanaka Tokiwa engage the Familiars along the coast to prevent widespread destruction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the ruins of Hotel Fendt Hope, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo bring the injured Mifuyu to Mitama Yakumo for emergency aid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Takayama Mountain, Iroha pleads with the combined Magical Girl forces not to kill Eve, revealing her belief that it is Ui. The Magius leaders and Alina retreat. Eve leaps into the sky, heading for Sankyo Ward in Kamihama. Yachiyo Nanami&#039;s team prepares to pursue Eve, while Madoka Kaname&#039;s group from Mitakihara heads to the coast to help defend against Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Magius headquarters, Touka and Nemu dismiss Iroha&#039;s claims about Ui, despite Nemu&#039;s private suspicions. Alina expresses interest in Iroha&#039;s memories but remains focused on Eve&#039;s hatching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Eve&#039;s arrival in Sankyo Ward, Mitama informs Iroha and the team that Ui&#039;s true body and Soul Gem are contained within Embryo Eve, which is a &amp;quot;Half-Witch.&amp;quot; To save Ui, they must defeat Eve&#039;s manifested form without destroying the Soul Gem and Mitama identifies a large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest as the core that maintains its form and its weak point. Mitama also treats the comatose Mifuyu, whose Soul Gem is critically cracked from overuse. Mitama stabilizes it but cannot fully heal her, and Tsukuyo and Tsukasa decide to rejoin the fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Eve rampages through Sankyo Ward, the combined Magical Girl teams attack Eve but find their assaults completely ineffective. Mitama, the Amane sisters, and other groups like Hinano Miyako&#039;s team regroup and they decide to consolidate their forces: one group will focus on defeating Eve, while the other prepares for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s landfall.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia readies her hammer and strikes Eve on the head with a magic‑powered blow, using her memory‑obliterating ability to confuse Eve and halt its advance; in the aftermath of the strike, a strange glow is visible near Eve&#039;s belly. Meanwhile, the Amane sisters relay the critical intelligence about Eve&#039;s red jewel weak point to Yachiyo&#039;s team. Eve begins to move toward Chuo Ward, and Sana proposes a plan to immobilize Eve so the team can target its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, the combined forces of Yachiyo&#039;s team, the Amane sisters, and other White Feathers execute a plan to immobilize Embryo Eve. They use chains from Sana&#039;s shield, spears, and plants to bind Eve to a large building and Iroha successfully strikes the large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest, its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eve retaliates by absorbing a massive vortex of impurities its Familiars had collected, causing its body to mutate and merge with the jewel. Iroha then sees a vision of Ui trapped within the core, reaffirming her resolve to save her, but the Magius arrive to protect Eve and ensure it consumes Walpurgisnacht. Iroha declares her intent to enter the gem to save Ui directly, and despite being severely injured, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia hold off the Magius, creating an opening for Iroha to advance toward Eve&#039;s core.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:10-19.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha reaches Ui&#039;s body but cannot shatter the gem surrounding it completely. Touka arrives at her side, and questions her motives. Iroha declares Ui is her sister and a precious friend to Touka and Nemu, and as Iroha reaches for Ui, the Embryo Eve attacks and Lil&#039; Kyubey intervenes and blocks the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu experience a flood of memories, recalling the original events. She remembers seeing Iroha with Kyubey in a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, learning about Magical Girls, and devising a plan with Ui and Nemu to usurp Kyubey&#039;s powers to create an automatic purification system and save all Magical Girls. Their plan failed when Ui&#039;s &amp;quot;harvest&amp;quot; ability went haywire upon her transformation, forcing Nemu to sever Ui&#039;s soul from her body and store it within the de-powered, small Kyubey to prevent her from becoming a Witch. This act erased Ui from the world&#039;s memory, as well as any traces of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Regaining their memories, Touka uses her stored energy to destabilize the Embryo Eve and Nemu uses her stories to restrain it. Iroha shatters Eve&#039;s central gem, and the small Kyubey releases Ui&#039;s soul. Ui awakens and reassures Touka and Nemu that she does not blame them for their shared decision. The Embryo Eve, now soulless, begins to decay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined Magical Girl forces, including Mami, Kyoko, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura, continue their battle against Walpurgisnacht in Chuo Ward. Despite their numbers, the Witch proves immensely powerful and resilient.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102304 mikage desire.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, a massive explosion of light and energy erupts from the location of the decaying Embryo Eve. The Eve has transformed into a new, stable form, and Touka deduces that Alina, who had previously shrunk the anti-Kyubey forcefield to contain the city&#039;s energy, has now wrapped that forcefield tightly around Eve. This action stabilized Eve&#039;s energy and prevented its decay, allowing Alina to control it as a tool for her art. Alina appears, now fused with an Uwasa in a manner similar to [[Holy Mami]], and declares her intent to use Eve to create her ultimate masterpiece, disregarding the goal of Magical Girl liberation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, as this is taking place, [[Mikage Yakumo]], Mitama&#039;s younger sister, is approached by Kyubey when the Barrier disappears. After he explains Mitama&#039;s wish to her, Mikage makes a wish of her own to undo the effects of Mitama&#039;s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Chapter 2: Smiles and Fireworks]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Holy Alina]] asserts that humanity subconsciously desires destruction and that she will use the Embryo Eve to fulfill this wish as her ultimate artwork. Kanagi confronts her own past desire to destroy the city due to its history of conflict but ultimately rejects Alina&#039;s path as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 nemu uwasa.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu, as the creator of Alina&#039;s Uwasa, takes responsibility. She uses the last of her life force to summon every Uwasa recorded in her book to attack Alina directly. The attack defeats Alina, making her disappear, but Nemu collapses, severely weakened and unable to move her legs, so White Feathers evacuate her to safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 eve user1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Embryo Eve, now uncontrolled, begins to rampage and targets Ui, attempting to reabsorb her. Lil&#039; Kyubey implies a solution: it will take Ui&#039;s place within Eve. Touka realizes that the small Kyubey, which contains Ui&#039;s former soul and Kyubey&#039;s original functions, possesses similar attributes to Eve. It is also incapable of becoming a Witch. Lil&#039; Kyubey merges with the Embryo Eve, causing it to release all orbs of light from its body, lading in different parts of Kamihama. The small Kyubey thus becomes the core of the &amp;quot;Automatic Purification System&amp;quot; that Touka, Ui, and Nemu originally envisioned, preventing Magical Girls from becoming Witches within Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival, the combined forces of Magical Girls, including the various teams from Kamihama and the team from Mitakihara, are on the verge of defeat. Homura and the others exhaust their weapons and energy in a desperate attempt to defeat it. They are exhausted, out of Grief Seeds, many are incapacitated, and despite their injuries and depleted resources, the girls refuse to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Last Magia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Walpurgisnacht prepares a massive attack that seems certain to annihilate them, an unknown, benevolent force envelops the Magical Girls. Iroha hears a mysterious voice and sees white feathers raining down, an experience shared by everyone on the battlefield. They all experience a sudden surge of energy and a feeling of being urged forward. This voice is from the Law of Cycles, who had been watching the timeline but not interfering with it. The feathers rejuvenate the group, lifting their spirits and empowering them to continue fighting; their strength is restored, and even the injured find themselves able to fight again. With morale returned, they rally together for one final, united assault, redirecting Walpurgisnacht to Kaihin Park using a coordinated strategy with their unique magical abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined forces of Magical Girls coordinate their unique magics to combat Walpurgisnacht: &lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Natsuki Utsuho initiate the counterattack by using their Encouragement and Cheering magic to boost the morale and power of all allies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seizing this surge of energy, the team implements a complex strategy to control the battlefield. First, Felicia, Meiyui Chun, and Rika Ayano use their Memory Erasure, Persuasion, and Mind-Altering magic to disorient Walpurgisnacht and force it to change course toward the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** To precisely guide the Witch to the intended battleground, Tsuruno, Riko Chiaki, and Emiri Kisaki then use their Good Luck, Luring, and Charm magic, successfully leading Walpurgisnacht to the beachfront park while evading its attacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Once there, the focus shifts to immobilizing the colossal foe. Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Asuka Tatsuki use their Flute Blossom Resonance and Action Control magic in an attempt to halt Walpurgisnacht&#039;s movement entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When it retaliates, Himika Mao diverts its attacks, creating an opening for Kanagi Izumi, who, with a power boost from Mitama&#039;s Coordination, attacks it directly to stun it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** This creates the crucial opening for a full restraint, and Mami, Kanoko Yayoi, and Kaede use Ribbon Binding, Stitching, and Plant magic to ensnare the Witch, which Rena amplified by using her Transformation magic to transform into Kaede and double the restraining power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Walpurgisnacht finally immobilized, Nanaka organizes their forces while Hazuki Yusa and Akira Shinobu identify its weak point with their magic, a gear connected to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire group then launch a coordinated, all-out assault, with offensive magics like Hinano Miyako&#039;s Chemical Explosions leading the charge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout the final attack, Kokoro Awane, Ayame Mikuri, and Konoha Shizumi provide vital defense with their Wall Creation, Safeguarding, and Fog Generation magic, protecting the assault team and ensuring their united strike could land.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Realizing their combined assault was not enough to deliver a final blow, the Magical Girls regroup and to ensure they could act as one perfect unit, Reira Ibuki uses her Purifying Flame to heal their wounds and replenish their energy, while Mito Aino uses her Heart-Linking magic to synchronize their hearts and minds, allowing their resolve to become perfectly aligned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With their spirits united, they form a new strategy and Konomi Haruna uses her magic to force their Fighting Spirit to Bloom, amplifying their collective potential, while Kako Natsume uses her Event Reproduction magic to reinforce the gathered energy, and Ren Isuzu enacts her Nirvana magic to ensure the attack would bring permanent rest to the Witch if successful.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The plan to create a final weapon then commences. Ui uses her Harvest magic to gather the hope and magical energy from every single Magical Girl on the battlefield. She passes this immense energy to Touka, who used her Conversion magic to condense it all into a single, concentrated mass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* This mass of collective hope is then entrusted to Yachiyo, whose unique magic of Inheritance allows her to embody and control the power. She and Iroha shape this energy into a gigantic, radiant arrow aimed at the weak point that had been identified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they prepared to fire, Walpurgisnacht launches an attack to free itself from their binds. In that moment, Homura activates her Time-Stop, and touches Iroha, allowing her to move within the suspended time and take aim unimpeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the path clear, Iroha releases the arrow and strikes the central gear with overwhelming force. As time resumed, the arrow consumed Walpurgisnacht in a brilliant explosion, finally ending the calamity and clearing the sky over Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102005 magicalgirl3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura reflects that she has finally surpassed this battle after countless timelines, and Madoka expresses relief that no more people will suffer from Walpurgisnacht. The girls in Kamihama also celebrate their hard-earned victory, despite the fact that many are injured and exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Epilogue==&lt;br /&gt;
* Some days after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, Iroha and Ui see their parents off at the airport as they leave for their overseas assignment. Iroha and Ui then return to Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama City, where Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana welcome them back. Mifuyu is also present, as Iroha was able to use her magic to repair Mifuyu&#039;s damaged Soul Gem, allowing her to recover. Later that day, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Kanagi, and Mitama visit Mikazuki Villa as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, [[Ultimate Madoka]], a being who identifies as a record-keeper of all universes reflects on the new timeline centered on Kamihama. She states she intervened one last time by sending a &amp;quot;rain of feathers&amp;quot; to empower the Magical Girls but will now only observe, fearing further direct interference could damage this fragile new reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu organize a meeting for all Magical Girls involved in the recent conflict to discuss the actions of the Wings of the Magius and the future fate of all Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu visit the Eternal Sakura. The Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura congratulates them on finally being together as friends and Nemu, who now uses a wheelchair, accepts her condition as a consequence of her past actions. Iroha briefly wonders about the whereabouts of the small Kyubey that once accompanied her, and then meet Lil&#039; Kyubey in the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After some days, Homura reflects on their victory. Despite saving Madoka and defeating Walpurgisnacht, she feels uncertain. The fundamental curse of Magical Girls becoming Witches remains, and she questions if this timeline is truly the best outcome. At school, Mami informs the group about recent disappearances and people getting lost, which they attribute to a new Witch. They devise a plan to track it by mapping the incidents. Kyoko arrives from Kazamino, also hunting the same Witch, and a tense alliance forms.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: The Place We Finally Reached]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group splits into teams to search the area Mami identified. Madoka notices Homura&#039;s preoccupation and reassures her. The teams locate the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and coordinate their attack. During the battle, Homura fears for her friends&#039; safety, but they work together effectively. Kyoko and Sayaka create an opening for Mami and Madoka to deliver the final blow, while Homura evacuates the Witch-Kissed civilians.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Kyoko gives the Grief Seed to Mami and Sayaka declares she has no regrets about becoming a Magical Girl, valuing the power to protect and the friends she has made. This prompts Mami to reconcile with Kyoko, asking to be true friends who help each other when needed again, to which Kyoko agrees. Madoka then states she is also glad she became a Magical Girl, expressing faith in the future because of her friends. This resolve causes Homura to weep with joy, finally believing this timeline, where they face their fate together, could be the one she sought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group, including Kyoko, shares a meal at a pancake restaurant. They discuss an upcoming meeting in Kamihama to address the Magius&#039; actions. While Kyoko opts not to attend, the others plan to update her later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 04 00 0042 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One Saturday, Mami volunteers to help clean the damage done by the Magius incident and Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura go along as well. During it, a Witch attacks and a Magical Girl they were helping unleashes a Doppel. They defeat the Witch and the girl falls unconscious, so Mami takes her to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After stabilizing her, Mami asks Mitama to help her face her own Doppel and she guides Mami to look within. Mami meets her Doppel and it tries to convince her to forget the past, yet Mami refuses and proclaims that she accepts the Doppel as part of herself. Mami then wakes up, thanking everyone and says they will build the future together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cherry Blossom Dreams===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, the Eternal Sakura completed her duties as an Uwasa when her tree came into full bloom. Her Rumor was rewritten and she was connected to Touka&#039;s server, reborn as an Uwasa with ample knowledge who would later be named Sakurako. Around this time, Yachiyo received a message asking what should be done about the six ringleaders of the Magius—Touka Satomi, Nemu Hiiragi, Mifuyu Azusa, Mitama Yakumo, Tsukuyo Amane, and Tsukasa Amane. Nemu proposed rewriting the Eternal Sakura to serve as an impartial judge. They designed three trials: the first to analyze crimes and calculate a verdict, the second to survey all Magical Girls, and the third to reach a final decision based on responses. Punishments ranged from monitoring to destruction of the Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the first trial, Sakurako sentenced Touka and Nemu to the maximum penalty. Mifuyu received power revocation, reduced from maximum due to testimony that she helped destroy Fendt Hope. Mitama received conditional power revocation, allowed to transform only for Coordinator work. The Amane sisters received power restriction. After the trial, Touka and Nemu remained calm, thanking everyone. Yachiyo noted they had intentionally omitted their ages from consideration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Nemu and Sakurako wait at a train station with others. Nearby girls whisper about Nemu, recognizing her as one of the Magius and questioning why she faces no punishment. Ui argues with Iroha about using the Stardust Time Viewer, while Touka pushes through the crowd, disheveled from navigating the train alone. The three girls reunite, each feeling it is a dream. Touka sends Ui a photo of the map they created together in the hospital. The group travels to the mall, where Ui finally visits the croquette shop she always wanted to try, and they share plates to taste each other&#039;s orders. From there, they take a rickshaw to Mizuna Shrine, where they briefly encounter Tsukuyo and Tsukasa, who quickly hurry away. The group buys prayer plaques, though most hesitate at the cost until a shrine attendant suggests writing prayers on the back of their fortunes instead. Iroha wishes for all Magical Girls to get along, while Touka and Nemu write their own wishes. They argue over where to go next—Touka wants a lookout point in Hokuyo Ward, but Ui resists rushing. Sakurako suggests they also face reality, so they head to Central Ward, still scarred from Walpurgisnacht and Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui admits she used the library as an excuse to bring them here, hoping the Stardust Time Viewer would show them a hopeful future. Nemu summons the Rumor, transporting them to a star-filled space. The Viewer shows Iroha&#039;s future: a world where the Doppel system has expanded globally and all Magical Girls coexist peacefully. Iroha feels embarrassed, but Sakurako assures her the wish is beautiful. When Ui asks to see her own future, the Viewer has nothing to show. Ui realizes this means Touka and Nemu are absent from Iroha&#039;s future and accuses them of planning to die. The vision fades, returning them to the rubble of Central Ward. Touka and Nemu admit they believe they should die for their crimes, pointing to the destruction around them, the Feathers they manipulated, and the innocent people hurt. Sakurako confirms she knew this all along. Ui slaps them both, demanding they consider how she feels. Nemu explains they wanted to do what they could while they still had time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second trial begins. No surveys have arrived. Sakurako agrees to wait one hour. Yachiyo and others leave to retrieve them. Mifuyu confronts Touka and Nemu, asking if they sabotaged the surveys. They admit they did, altering the date so the surveys would not arrive in time. They wanted to be judged and sentenced to death to spare Ui from the hatred directed at them. Ui refuses to accept this. She and Iroha transform to protect them. The hour ends and Sakurako moves to deliver punishment. Iroha and Ui hold her back as Mifuyu and Mitama join the defense. The Amane sisters attack Sakurako with their flutes, accepting heavier sentences. Iroha realizes they can use photos of the surveys as evidence. Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s phones begin chiming with images from Yachiyo and the others. Iroha begs Sakurako to accept the evidence. Sakurako confirms the surveys are real and delays the trial, requiring them to arrive by day&#039;s end. The surveys show Magical Girls believe Touka and Nemu should be punished, but not killed. Some suggest atonement, rehabilitation, or mentorship. Reading the responses, Touka and Nemu weep, but Ui weeps with joy. Based on the surveys, sentences are reduced. Touka and Nemu receive monitoring with transformation-prevention bracelets, while Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s sentences are reduced to monitoring. The Amane sisters are found not guilty and Feathers who revealed themselves have their cases dismissed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the group gathers. Touka and Nemu wear their bracelets. Sakurako serves drinks. Mifuyu asks about tutoring Touka in exchange for help with pharmacy school. Nemu will rely on Sakurako for mobility on difficult days. Tsuruno suggests welcoming them as the Brains of Kamihama. In the kitchen, Sakurako hugs Touka and Nemu, then Iroha and Ui. She tells them she loves them. The days she always dreamed of have arrived. The real spring can finally begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany===&lt;br /&gt;
* Walpurgisnacht&#039;s attack on Kamihama City caused massive damage to Chuo Ward, which the public believes was a natural disaster. Only Magical Girls know the truth and privately, Mitama reflects that the victory gave her hope, but she wonders if the destruction she once wished for can be defied.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0008 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after Walpurgisnacht, Mitama realizes Doyle has not visited her shop and the last saw him the day before Walpurgisnacht. She assumes the storm made him too scared to go out, so she decides to close her shop and search for him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama looks around the vacant land near her shop and a girl named Ritsumi offers to help. Ritsumi’s cat Arthur ran away before, so she knows where cats hide. They search but find nothing and Ritsumi says Arthur now lives with her grandpa. Mitama realizes Ritsumi is the daughter of the neighbor who owns Arthur and Mitama had mistaken Arthur for Doyle and that Ritsumi has never actually seen Doyle. They end the day without clues and Mitama sends a message to the Magical Girls’ group chat asking if anyone has seen a white tabby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama knocks on the neighbor’s door and Ritsumi’s mother answers. She explains that Arthur was sent away two weeks ago to Ritsumi’s grandpa. Mitama realizes that no one knows where Doyle came from. Ritsumi’s mother promises to keep an eye out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana, Asuka, and others from Mizuna Girls’ Academy saw Mitama’s group chat post and they arrive to help. More volunteers soon arrive: Kaede, Kako, Rena, Konoha’s team, and others. They split up to cover Shinsei Ward and Mitama notes that no one else has ever seen Doyle. Konoha says she never saw a cat at Mitama’s shop. Rena also asks for a photo, but Mitama has none.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds Ritsumi near the bus stop and they search door to door. No one in the neighborhood has seen a white tabby kitten either. Ritsumi says she has read all “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” books and that her favorite is “Invisible Epiphany,” about a detective searching for a lost child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko meets Mitama alone. Momoko says she never saw Doyle and neither did Tsukasa or the other girls. Mitama remembers talking to Doyle in front of them, but they saw no cat ither. Momoko suggests a Rumor is involved, as all Rumors disappeared after the fight with the Magius, except the Eternal Sakura. Coincidentally, Doyle disappeared at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls Nemu, who is still in the hospital and Nemu explains that Doyle was part of the Rumor of the Cat Detective. The Rumor possesses detective novel lovers, detects signs of a case, gets the detective involved, and guarantees a solution. Nemu explains she erased almost all Rumors, including this one. Mitama thinks Doyle disappeared because the Rumor was destroyed and she had solved four cases with Doyle’s help, yet the fifth never began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama re-reads her case files and each one has an opening paragraph she does not remember writing. The first case file hints at Hanna Sarasa. The second hints at Tsukasa. The third and fourth also name the culprits. Mitama realizes Doyle left those hints, and Nemu says the Rumor did not cause incidents, only detected them, so those incidents would have happened anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0009 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Kamihama slowly returns to order. Mitama notes that she cannot rely on Doyle anymore and she hopes she does not get any new cases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui and the Eternal Sakura visit Mitama to deliver a lampshade from Yachiyo. Ui says a girl from her school has gone missing and Mitama is shocked to learn the girl is Ritsumi, who did not come home after school yesterday and the police are investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama goes to the bus stop near her shop and finds Ritsumi’s mother. The mother says Ritsumi likely went to Hokuyo Ward to see her grandpa and Arthur. Ritsumi’s parents are separated and her father lives with his parents in Hokuyo Ward. The mother believes Ritsumi wanted to visit them, but the bus route to Hokuyo was suspended after the disaster but has resumed, bypassing Chuo Ward. Soon, Himika calls Mitama. Himika saw a girl matching Ritsumi’s description waiting at the Shinsei Ward bus stop yesterday, reading a book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi arrive and Momoko explains she has been investigating at school. Ritsumi transferred to Kamihama University Affiliated School six months ago after her parents separated and she moved into the building next to Mitama’s shop. Momoko explains Arthur went to live with her father in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo Ward. Mitama realizes the conflicting information: Arthur was first in Chuo Ward, then evacuated to the grandpa’s house in Hokuyo after the disaster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Satomi Medical Center, Nemu discusses the case with Eternal Sakura. Nemu recalls the hidden hints in Mitama’s case files. The last words of each hint spell “Lost Through Time Eternal,” which is the title of volume 12 of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” In that story, a girl runs away to her old home. Nemu deduces that Ritsumi went to her old apartment in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo. She likely got off at the nearest bus stop and walked into the restricted zone, then she had an accident.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Momoko, and Kanagi search the area near the old apartment and they hear a voice. Ritsumi had fallen into an old underground passage and sprained her ankle. She lost track of time and had no phone. Mitama explains she remembered the Doyle book and Ritsumi admits she was copying the girl in the story as she wanted to see the area where she grew up. The three quickly rescue her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ritsumi is taken to a hospital and also discharged quickly. Her parents agree to let her visit both of them and Arthur whenever she likes. Mitama reflects that Doyle gave her confidence and the city she cursed is still standing, so she dares to believe in hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Momoko finally holds the Coordinator Thank-You Party that was postponed earlier and Rena and Kaede thank Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui reads &amp;quot;The Happy Prince&amp;quot; and reflects on her uncertain purpose as a Magical Girl. While walking, she stops Kyubey from contracting a girl outside Kamihama, explaining she cannot let anyone else suffer the fate of becoming a Witch. When Kyubey asks what he should do instead, she has no answer. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia tells Ui she is overthinking things and should focus on her upcoming combat test. Iroha and Yachiyo serve dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno gives Ui an enthusiastic pep talk for her live combat test. To remain in Kamihama, Ui must detect and eliminate a Witch alone—the same test Yachiyo gave Iroha when she first arrived. Yachiyo admits the test may be unfair and offers to let Ui choose a partner. With Iroha busy helping Kanagi, Ui chooses Momoko. They depart together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui struggles to sense the Witch&#039;s magic, so they search Mizuna Ward where young women gather. They encounter a Familiar and follow it to a Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After defeating it, Felicia suddenly appears, attacks them, and runs away. Tsuruno gives chase and tackles her. Felicia&#039;s oblivion magic has erased their memory of the Familiar&#039;s pattern, so they cannot track the Witch. Momoko requests a pause, but Yachiyo refuses, stating unexpected events happen in real combat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia admits she interfered because she is jealous that Ui receives everyone&#039;s attention while she struggled alone as a mercenary. Yachiyo explains that Felicia&#039;s past does not justify making others unhappy. Meanwhile, Ui cheers up after eating crepes with Momoko and resolves to continue. As sunset approaches, they search Sakae Ward but find nothing. Yachiyo offers to bring a Familiar for them to retrack, but it disappears before they arrive. Ui suggests checking Hokuyo Ward on a hunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Hokuyo Ward, Ui senses a different Witch&#039;s magical reaction. They follow Witch-kissed people up a mountain toward a labyrinth. At Yachiyo&#039;s house, the others realize Ui failed the test since Yachiyo had to eliminate the original Witch herself, though Yachiyo will allow a retake. They notice Felicia smiling and suspect she interfered again. Rena confesses she helped Felicia erase the hint because she understood Felicia&#039;s jealousy. Tsuruno says the only person who deserves an apology is Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the mountain, Ui and Momoko enter the Witch&#039;s barrier against Momoko&#039;s better judgment. They fight through Familiars but become trapped and cannot escape. The Witch overwhelms them. Yachiyo and the others arrive and join the fight, but Familiars overwhelm them too. Iroha arrives at the last moment to defend Ui. Ui proposes using her ability to harvest impurities, purifying everyone&#039;s Soul Gems so they can fight at full strength. She will temporarily become a Witch, but the Doppel system will contain it. She absorbs the impurities, and the others destroy the Witch while Ui struggles with the darkness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui unleashes her Doppel and meets her Doppel self, who accuses her of wanting punishment and being jealous of others while trapped in the hospital. Ui nearly agrees to let the Doppel consume her but refuses, recognizing it as the easy way out. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words about taking responsibility and confronting the situation honestly. She accepts her wrongs and her true feelings, realizing this difficult path will bring true happiness. The Doppel admits she is right. Iroha wakes Ui at Mitama&#039;s clinic, where she has been unconscious for some time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama checks on Ui after her first Doppel release. Felicia apologizes for her interference and says she thinks Ui is cool. Rena also apologizes for helping Felicia. Ui accepts their apologies and compliments them both, asking Felicia to teach her things. Rena and Felicia feel terrible for how they treated someone so kind. Later that evening at Yachiyo&#039;s house, everyone celebrates Ui passing her test—though she did not defeat the assigned Witch, she tracked a Witch, stayed calm, used her intelligence, and performed better than expected. Ui tells Iroha she now knows what she wants to do as a Magical Girl. Iroha decides to work with other Kamihama Magical Girls to find a way to free them all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui and Iroha encounter Kyubey outside Kamihama attempting another contract and stop him. Kyubey asks what their goal is. They explain they plan to fight and find a way to coexist with Kyubey—if they can expand Kamihama&#039;s miracle globally, Magical Girls can live happily while providing the energy Kyubey needs. Kyubey welcomes the idea if it avoids conflict but warns that Magical Girls worldwide are not as unified as those in Kamihama. Ui wonders how much happiness she can give to the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Magia Clash!===&lt;br /&gt;
* A Mirror copy of Shizuku opens a portal and steps through into a city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Magia Clash!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama organizes a magical girl team competition inside the Mirrors labyrinth. Kaede and Iroha greet Nanoha, hoping to talk with her, but Kaede is called away when her match begins. Iroha stays behind and watches with Nanoha instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanoha Takamachi#Side Story|Nanoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hayate, Nanoha, and Fate mistake a Mirror copy&#039;s portal for the warp gate to their tournament and are pulled through before Lindy can stop them. Mitama registers the confused but excited trio for the &amp;quot;First Ultimate Magical Girls Team Battle Mirrors Cup,&amp;quot; and they head to the Standby Zone after learning about the Mirror barrier. Meanwhile, Rena, Momoko, and Kaede struggle against unusually strong Familiars, and when Rena twists her ankle, the Nanoha trio steps in to save them. The groups introduce themselves, with the trio explaining they are from Uminary City while concealing their connection to the Administrative Bureau, and Rena warns them about dangerous Mirror copies that lurk deeper in the barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they observe Team Momoko&#039;s match, Nanoha comments on the fighting styles she sees and notes the variety of magic on display. She explains she was taught magic from an early age and is surprised to learn Iroha and the others gained their powers by making wishes to Kyubey. Iroha describes Kyubey as a white stuffed animal, which reminds Nanoha of her own first teacher, Yuuno. Nanoha shares that she discovered magic in third grade when she heard Yuuno calling for help, and since then she has honed her abilities alongside Fate and Hayate to protect others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks about Nanoha&#039;s device, Raising Heart, and how it can transform. Nanoha explains the device taught her magic step by step and once posed an important question to her: what is the most important thing in a fight? Iroha guesses it is the will to win, but before Nanoha can reveal the true answer, Fate and Hayate return from exploring. Fate requests a sparring match, and Iroha asks to watch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo joins Iroha to observe the fight between Nanoha and Fate. The two exchange blows at maximum speed, with Fate using close-range attacks while Nanoha fights from a distance. The match ends in a tie after a final, explosive clash. Before leaving for a break, Nanoha turns to Iroha and reveals the true answer to Raising Heart&#039;s question: wisdom and tactics. Iroha agrees, especially after witnessing their battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Natsuki is fretting over a lost wallet at the Promise Altar, and Ria offers to help her search since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway. Natsuki apologizes for the trouble, but Ria insists she doesn&#039;t mind and even offers to lend her money. Natsuki refuses the loan but admits she needs money for train fare home. She reluctantly agrees to borrow just enough for the trip and promises to pay Ria back later. Ria asks if Natsuki is sure she doesn&#039;t want to file a report, but Natsuki believes the wallet is simply lost rather than stolen and wants to keep searching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hayate Yagami#Side Story|Hayate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria suggests they retrace Natsuki&#039;s steps and asks where she&#039;s been. Natsuki lists the Promise Altar, the station, the shopping district, and an izakaya where she ate with friends. Ria questions why she went to an izakaya alone, and Natsuki clarifies she was with coworkers. Ria finds it odd that Natsuki was drinking with coworkers and then came to the shrine alone afterwards. Natsuki admits it&#039;s a long story involving a former coworker&#039;s engagement announcement that left her feeling restless. She came to the shrine to think but realized she didn&#039;t have enough money to get home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they search, they run into Masara and Kokoro. Masara bluntly tells Natsuki she probably won&#039;t find it and suggests getting a new student ID. Kokoro gently scolds her for being insensitive and offers to help search. Ria mentions they&#039;ve already looked around the shrine, so Kokoro suggests they expand the search area.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group heads to the shopping district, where they encounter Kanoko. She offers to help search as well, and they all continue looking together. Eventually, Ria asks Natsuki to retrace her exact steps from when she left the izakaya. Natsuki recalls walking to the station, realizing she didn&#039;t want to go home yet, and coming to the shrine. Ria points out that she would have needed her wallet to pay the izakaya bill, so she definitely had it after leaving. Natsuki confirms this and remembers using her train pass at the station before changing her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria concludes the wallet must be somewhere between the station turnstiles and the shrine, but they&#039;ve already searched that route thoroughly. Kanoko suggests Natsuki might have dropped it somewhere else without realizing, like when she pulled out her phone. Natsuki&#039;s eyes light up, and she admits she did take out her phone at the station to check something. She just can&#039;t remember what she did with her wallet after that. Ria proposes they split up to cover more ground, and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Natsuki returns home defeated and exhausted. Her father calls out to her, and when she enters the living room, she finds her wallet sitting on the table. Her mother found it in the shopping district and a kind stranger turned it in. Natsuki&#039;s relief quickly turns to panic when she remembers she borrowed money from Ria, and now she has no way to contact her. She considers calling Kokoro but realizes she doesn&#039;t have her number either. She decides to go back to the Promise Altar the next day to hopefully find Ria there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Natsuki returns to the Promise Altar and is relieved to spot Ria. She excitedly explains that her wallet was found and immediately tries to repay the loan. Ria accepts the money but notices Natsuki seems troubled about something else. Natsuki admits she&#039;s been thinking about her former coworker&#039;s engagement and how she handled the situation. Ria offers to listen if Natsuki wants to talk, but Natsuki says she&#039;d rather not burden her further. Ria insists it&#039;s no trouble since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki explains that her former coworker Yukari got engaged and announced it at a gathering. Natsuki congratulated her happily, but another coworker named Ootori made some passive-aggressive comments about how Yukari managed to find someone before her. Later, Ootori apologized to Natsuki for her behavior, but Natsuki feels she should have defended Yukari in the moment. She feels guilty for not speaking up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria asks why she feels responsible for defending Yukari. Natsuki admits it&#039;s because Yukari was always kind to her when she first started the job, and she feels she failed to repay that kindness. Ria points out that Natsuki did congratulate Yukari sincerely, and that was probably what mattered most to her in that moment. Natsuki realizes Ria is right and thanks her for the perspective.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just then, Kanagi arrives, and Ria prepares to leave. Before going, she offers Natsuki her contact information so she can reach out if she ever needs to talk again. Natsuki gratefully accepts, and the two part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During a break in the Mirrors tournament, Fate, Nanoha, and Hayate encounter a copy of Fate that proves too powerful for them to handle alone. Felicia, Kako, and Ayame appear to help, and together they defeat the copy. When Felicia asks what they&#039;re doing there, Fate admits they got lost. The Kamihama girls learn the trio is from out of town and younger than them, but they quickly become friends and head back to the standby zone together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Fate T. Harlaown#Side Story|Fate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group somehow gets roped into a dodgeball game, with teams forming spontaneously among the tournament participants. Fate proves to be exceptionally athletic, leading her team through multiple rounds against increasingly competitive opponents. After defeating Momoko&#039;s team, they face a martial arts team featuring Akira, Meiyui, and Asuka, which Fate also wins. Tsuruno, refusing to let age be a barrier, recruits Masara and Natsuki for a final match against Fate&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match comes down to a intense showdown between Fate and Tsuruno, both catching and returning each other&#039;s throws with increasing speed and power. Fate ultimately outmaneuvers Tsuruno by throwing to Nanoha and leaping into the air for the winning strike. Everyone celebrates the friendly tournament and the new friendships formed across different cities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the tournament progresses, Team Nanoha easily advances through early rounds with Fate&#039;s incredible speed, though Momoko notices Hayate and Nanoha have yet to reveal their full power. Elsewhere, Mitama learns that Momoko announced her team would break up if they lost not because Kaede is useless but to show their conviction, though both Kaede and Rena had doubts. The tournament continues until four teams remain, with Team Momoko advancing to the finals through clever strategy and Team Nanoha defeating Team Masara to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match begins with Fate and Rena clashing in a battle of speed that seemingly knocks both out, leaving Nanoha and Hayate to face Momoko and Kaede. Hayate fuses with Reinforce Zwei and unleashes Ragnarok to take out Kaede, then joins Nanoha against Momoko, who withstands Nanoha&#039;s Starlight Breaker as both girls stand exhausted. Before a winner can be decided, Lindy contacts Nanoha with an emergency: a fugitive illegally opened a rift between worlds, and the Mirror copy of Shizuku appears nearby, having used her powers to connect the Mirror labyrinth to Uminary City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The copy stole the tournament&#039;s grand prize, a special orb that exponentially increases magical power, and the girls call off the match to track her down. Team Nanoha and Team Momoko catch the copy, but after they defeat her, copies of Hayate, Fate, and Nanoha appear and swallow the broken orb pieces, gaining immense power. All the Magical Girls unite to take down the powered-up copies, and through combined efforts they finally delete the magical signatures. With the tunnel between worlds about to collapse, Mitama declares both teams winners, and the girls exchange heartfelt goodbyes before the Nanoha trio returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day in Kamihama, Kaede realizes her texts to Hayate no longer go through, Momoko cannot reach Nanoha or Fate, and Rena cannot find Uminary City on any map. Mitama and Shizuku conclude the girls must have come from a different world entirely, since they needed a space tunnel to travel rather than a simple train ride. Though Kaede is sad they may never meet again, Rena is grateful for the friendship they formed, and the three resolve to work hard for a future rematch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tart / Darc Magica===&lt;br /&gt;
* Through Minou&#039;s spell from 15th-century France, Ui is pulled into the past, with her phone acting as her Soul Gem and Blank Prophecy, with the power to restore the past&#039;s real history.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rebel of a Dawnless Land]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning from the past, Ui finds herself in an antique store, still surrounded by magic bubbles though no memory of what occured. On the floor are the two candles and the old book. She feels they are important but cannot remember why, so she puts them on store shelves before falling asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui wakes up at Mikazuki Villa. Her phone rings with a text of Nemu asking if she knows any charms, as Mitama has been really into them lately. Ui says she knows a charm for good dreams requiring red and blue candles. Nemu asks where she heard about it and Ui isn&#039;t sure but says it was in 15th-century France. Nemu is fascinated and promises to research it. Later, Ui scrolls through her phone and finds a photo she doesn&#039;t recognize with girls she doesn&#039;t know. She begins crying without understanding why and Iroha finds her and hugs her tightly. Suddenly Ui remembers Darc&#039;s final words. She turns to her sister and tells her, &amp;quot;Let&#039;s have a wonderful future together.&amp;quot; Iroha agrees. Ui calms down and heads home to prepare for a slumber party with Nemu and Touka. Iroha, running errands, decides to stop by Mitama&#039;s place afterward. Mitama greets her warmly, mentioning she just learned an interesting little charm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That day, Iroha visits Mitama, who gives her and Yachiyo antique candles for a sweet dream spell. That night, they light the candles and drift off to sleep together, where they&#039;re pulled into the nightmare of Jeanne d&#039;Arc in April 29th, 1429.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Maiden of Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next morning, Yachiyo reveals she had the same dream. They call Mitama, who is surprised they had nightmares instead of sweet dreams. They decide to try the candles again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Kamihama plunged into darkness and all non-Magical Girls vanished. Their Soul Gems have consumed magic in the real world despite no injuries. Realizing the dream affects reality, they decide to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a lot of fighting, they awaken and prepare for the final battle. In this journey they discover that they&#039;d been traveling to Darc&#039;s dream, and if Darc despairs completely, she will turn into a Witch and trigger a catastrophe affecting the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Felicia and Sana gone and Kamihama empty. Breaking into Mitama&#039;s shop, they find a grimoire revealing the candles were made with Darc&#039;s hair, creating a connection to her dream. They return with the book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They finally awaken at Mikazuki Villa to sunshine and normalcy. Felicia demands steak for dinner. Consulting a history book, they read that on May 7th, 1429, Jeanne d&#039;Arc fought at Tourelles after waking from a dream. The battle was fierce but Orléans was liberated. Iroha notices a portrait in the book showing them in their Magical Girl outfits standing beside Jeanne d&#039;Arc.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at Mitama&#039;s shop, Yachiyo recounts everything. Mitama mentions the spell became widespread in France during Jeanne d&#039;Arc&#039;s era. Iroha realizes Melissa must have spread it after learning it from them in the dream. The use of red and blue candles was too specific to be coincidence. Iroha&#039;s head spins trying to figure out where the spell originated. Yachiyo notes the grimoire never mentioned the candle setup, so the spell just circled around and around. They will never know for certain whether they changed history or were always part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* During their slumber party, Ui, Touka, and Nemu encounter a massive witch, [[Crépuscule de La Reine]]. Touka and Nemu vanish, leaving Ui and Sakurako to face it alone. The witch is unaffected by their attacks and disappears, taking Ui with it into 15th-century France once more, this time in the realm of Purgatory which Minou created. With Pernelle&#039;s help, Ui is soon able to also summon Iroha and Yachiyo there as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;endofalegendthelimitsoflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - End of a Legend, the Limits of Light]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Lil&#039; Kyubey and Ui&#039;s phone as the Blank Prophecy are pulled as &amp;quot;If Factors&amp;quot; into the world of Holy Maiden Academy, which Minou created and maintained for six hundred years after being given a Philosopher&#039;s Stone after Isabeau&#039;s death. However, after her plans are thwarted by the &amp;quot;what if&amp;quot; version of Melissa, he returns and wakes in the real world, where Iroha and Ui assure him it was just a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;counc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Masked Student Council Strikes Back]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One weekend, Rui ropes Seira into attending Kamiket, a convention for sharing and selling fan-made media in Kamihama. The two became close friends after discovering they are both Magical Girls, and because Seira is the only one who knows about Rui&#039;s embarrassing secret: a heavy case of chuuni-byo. Rui agreed to bring Seira on the condition that only the two of them would go, ensuring nobody else discovered her secret.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the day of the convention, Rui cannot contain her excitement and slips into character, declaring the convention her sanctuary and the catalog guidebook as Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Her main objective is to purchase the newest installment of her favorite indie game series and meet its creator, MacQueen. On the way to the booth, she accidentally bumps into a stranger who seems irritated about someone not being at the convention yet. When she arrives, the booth attendants inform her that someone has been using counterfeit money, and worse, MacQueen himself is missing. Rui&#039;s imagination immediately conjures a grand conspiracy, but the criminal is soon caught and MacQueen calls to say he overslept. Relieved, Rui takes a photo with the booth girls, but as the picture is taken, chills run down her spine as she senses someone glaring at her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rui dismisses it as her imagination and continues exploring with Seira. Remembering the booth numbers hit by counterfeit money, she realizes they spell the chemical formula for Ricin, a lethal poison. Her imagination ignites again, convincing her that the real attack will come through poisoned food from outside vendors. She rushes them outside to stop the attack, but everyone seems fine, and her Magical Girl ability, which lets her see how close someone is to death, reveals nobody is in danger. Ashamed, she realizes her imagination finally got the best of her and apologizes to Seira. They decide to get lunch, and Rui opens her laptop to install her new game. The screen is black, and in the reflection she sees her own face. Her magic reveals she herself is now close to death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Remembering the chills from earlier, Rui checks the photo and finds the man from earlier glaring at her in the background. She rushes back to the booth to warn the girls, who recognize the man as Miranda, a popular content creator. As they discuss this, MacQueen finally arrives, and Rui sees he is the closest to death&#039;s door, with Miranda also marked. She confronts Miranda, who confesses he intended to kill MacQueen over an alternate ending in the latest game that suggested his favorite sub-heroine may have had a former lover. He pulls out a gun he secretly printed with a smuggled 3D printer. Just as he is about to shoot, Rui shows him a cutscene on her laptop, which is the second part of the alternate ending, unlocked only after clearing the entire game, revealing the sub-heroine fabricated the story to protect the user character. Miranda realizes his mistake and surrenders to security. After the incident, Seira asks if Rui was scared. Rui reveals she always wears chainmail under her clothes and also carried a heavy blunt object for protection, the magically enhanced Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Seira decides to pretend she did not hear that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 11:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura writes in her diary as she and her friends take an air-conditioned express train to the beach for summer vacation. They buy ice cream and enjoy the ride.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Beachside Bonds]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls arrive at their destination, a seaside inn run by Sayaka&#039;s relatives who had a sudden cancellation. Sayaka complains about the heat as they walk to the inn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Sayaka&#039;s aunt shows them to their rooms and warns them not to get lost in the surrounding forest. Outside, two young girls who live at the inn approach Madoka. They ask if she knows someone named Kei, who is looking for someone named Yu. They warn Madoka not to talk to Kei and that she should hold still if Kei enters her room. The girls then leave. Homura suggests Kei might be a cat. They agree to tell the others as Kyoko passes by already in her swimsuit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, the girls play volleyball. Mami spikes the ball hard and hits Homura in the face. They stop the game and Mami frets over Homura. Madoka suggests they rest in the shade while Mami buys something cold. Madoka then suggests they collect pine cones from nearby trees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the forest, a cat appears and leads them deeper into the trees. It guides them to a small shrine, where Homura finds an old notebook. She reads entries from April 20, June 24, August 3, and August 6, all detailing the author&#039;s complicated feelings for someone named Kei. Madoka tells her to put it back without reading further. When they turn around, the cat is gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the beach, Sayaka shares a rumor from the beach house: a girl fell off a nearby cliff years ago and died, and her spirit is reportedly seen rising from the ocean between two and three a.m. Mami shrieks in fear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Kyoko teases Mami about being scared. The conversation turns to ghosts and Kyoko compares them to how normal people might perceive Witches. Madoka feels relieved and tells Sayaka about the twin girls. Sayaka plans to ask them about any pets later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After an Italian dinner, the girls light fireworks on the beach. Kyoko bumps into Hinano Miyako, who doesn&#039;t recognize her but does recognize her Soul Gem ring. Ren Isuzu finds Hinano, followed by Emiri Kisaki and Rika Ayano. The groups combine for fireworks. Emiri admits she used a little magic to help everyone relax, explaining why Kyoko had strange memories of Mami. Kyoko chases Sayaka around the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Heading back to the inn, Sayaka finds her twin cousins lining up stones. They claim the stones protect against Kei entering. They say Kei would hate Sayaka the most because she is nosy, then leave. In her diary, Homura writes that the girls talked until they all fell asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 12&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura&#039;s diary entry describes a dream belonging to someone else. In the dream, the narrator waits for her friend Yusa Yumeno, who arrives with popsicles. The narrator complains that Yusa doesn&#039;t need to come every day, but Yusa insists she can only be her real self around her friend. The narrator believes identity is shaped by others&#039; perceptions. She reveals she may not take college exams due to family obligations and urges Yusa to attend her chosen school, comparing herself to a weed and Yusa to a flower growing in a different direction. The narrator comes home to another hateful letter from classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes in a cold sweat, unable to move. The room smells strongly of seaweed. She sees a pitch-black human shadow sitting between Mami and Sayaka&#039;s futons. It examines their faces, grumbling &amp;quot;wrong, wrong, all wrong.&amp;quot; As it moves toward Madoka, Homura struggles to move. The shadow stops and stares at her, asking &amp;quot;You can see me?&amp;quot; Homura screams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others wake. Sayaka notices the strange smell. Kyoko goes back to sleep. Mami offers water and Homura asks if someone entered the room. They saw no one. Sayaka apologizes for the scary stories. Mami suggests thinking about tomorrow&#039;s fun. Madoka offers to hold Homura&#039;s hand, which she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes early, the ocean scent still strong. She finds the twin girls outside. They ask if she met Kei. Homura asks what Kei is. The girls explain Kei looks like a human made of shadow without facial features, smells of the sea, and emerges from the ocean at night to look for her friend Yu. They repeat that she should do nothing and never talk to her. They notice their protective stones scattered and go to reline them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura suspects this might be a Rumor. She returns to the forest shrine and finds the notebook on the shrine&#039;s lattice door, despite having placed it underneath. She reads entries from May 2, May 20, June 12, and June 26, all detailing the author Yu&#039;s complicated, obsessive feelings for Kei. She replaces the notebook, feeling guilty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Homura recalls more diary entries: July 2 describes Yu placing hands on Kei&#039;s neck as if to strangle her; July 5 compares Kei&#039;s neck to a lizard she killed; July 15 describes Kei now finding Yu after school; July 20 states they should never have met and that both wear bandages to hide bruises on their necks. Madoka points out a small bruise on Homura&#039;s neck.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls begin walking to an aquarium along the coast. Kyoko complains about the distance and suggests fishing instead. Sayaka refuses, traumatized by a recent fishing tournament incident in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the aquarium, they eat fish burgers, marvel at jellyfish, and watch a dolphin and seal show. They leave at sunset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls walk to a cape to watch the sunset. Sayaka warns them not to get too close to the edge, referencing the girl who died. Homura smells flowers and Mami identifies night-blooming jasmine nearby. The scent reminds Homura of her dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recalls another diary entry: August 1 describes Yu feeling happy hearing Kei&#039;s wish despite blaming herself; August 12 states their plan is set for tomorrow, with Yu hoping something will make Kei reconsider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the cape, Kyoko admits feeling down because a cape is the end of the road with nothing after. Mami says it&#039;s more important they could talk again like they used to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary about the difference between the self you know and the self others perceive. She asks Madoka what kind of person she thinks Homura is. Madoka calls her a dear friend who works hard. Homura worries that revealing her time-traveling truth would change this perception. After dinner, the girls settle in for sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 13:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura dreams again of Kei and Yu. Kei calls out that the promised day is here. She has dressed up and brought a ribbon to tie them together. Yu questions if this is right. Kei insists her life belongs only to Yu. They vow: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; They promise to kill each other for every reincarnation as proof of who they are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A voice calls Homura to wake. She awakens to find Madoka standing with eyes closed, enveloped in shadow. Madoka snaps her eyes open and proclaims repeatedly &amp;quot;I got in.&amp;quot; She calls out for Yu, saying the promised day is finally here. Madoka runs into the forest toward the cliff. Homura chases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the cape, everything grows dark. Madoka, possessed by Kei&#039;s spirit, tells Homura that the drowned Chinese girl&#039;s body washed up here and she is looking for her father&#039;s ship. Homura urges her to chase after the girl to escape, but Kei claims Homura will kill her as soon as they leave. Homura transforms and attempts to freeze time but finds her magic has no effect in this place where time does not flow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren&#039;s voice calls out. She informs Homura that the others are searching for them, but only Ren could traverse into this abyss. Ren suggests this might be similar to her own magic rather than a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kei admits she tried possessing Homura but could not, so she settled for Madoka. She explains she is a faint memory staining the cliffside. The drowned girl&#039;s spirit helped her recall all her memories clearly. She describes how she and Yu bound themselves together and jumped into the ocean, but the waves pulled them apart. Kei died; Yu survived. Kei wants to kill Yu so they can kill each other throughout eternity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura refuses to stay in the abyss with Madoka. Kei transforms Madoka into her magical girl state and attacks. Ren blocks the blow and tries to use her magic to draw out the possession. Homura calls out the vow Kei and Yu made, distracting Kei. Ren attempts her magic but the ghost of the drowned Chinese girl deflects it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren realizes the ghost girl is not a girl but the root cause: the Witch Paola. The barrier forms and Homura fights the Witch alone while Ren hurries to catch up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier dissipates and Homura faces the possessed Madoka on the cape. Kei accuses Homura of killing her. Homura tells her to shut up and leave their lives alone. Kei explains she will soon fade if Yu is not there. She begs Homura to kill Yu if she ever meets her, before her soul breaks and she becomes like the Witch. She begs Homura to keep this promise no matter where they meet or how many worlds Homura visits. Kei then relinquishes Madoka&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren arrives, relieved they are safe. Madoka wakes with no memory, thinking she simply tossed and turned. The other girls find them and celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary, describing the events as too strange to comprehend. She reflects on Kyubey&#039;s use of the term &amp;quot;soul&amp;quot; and questions what a soul truly is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka sighs that even on vacation they dealt with a Witch. Kyoko thinks she&#039;s getting rusty. Mami suggests Homura was right about a Witch mixing with a Rumor. Madoka telepathically tells them to quiet down since Homura is asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her final dream, Homura sees Yu wake in a hospital on an unknown date. Kei died. Their bruises were dismissed. Yu returned to school where others used her grief as their own. Unable to bear going on without Kei, she nearly threw herself off the cliff again. All she holds onto is their final words: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; But if the Yu that died that day is gone, who is the girl writing now? An image of Kyubey flashes on the screen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Deep in the dream, Homura recalls Kei&#039;s plea on the cliff. But Homura never agreed or promised anything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summer Treasures===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko wakes to find Mitama and Ui standing over her, learning they were washed ashore and rescue will arrive in two days. Mitama assigns tasks: shelter, bamboo, water, plants, and fishing. Before Kyoko leaves, Mitama asks her to transform, revealing she adjusted Kyoko&#039;s Soul Gem while she was unconscious to give her a Magical Girl swimsuit that allows her to swim. Mitama promises the transformation is reversible but looks forlorn, warning that if Kyoko does not have fun on the island, she might forget how to undo it. Kyoko reluctantly agrees to cooperate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer Treasures]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko discovers she can swim and catches plenty of fish. While gathering firewood, she finds a piece of wood with the words &amp;quot;water&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;bottom&amp;quot; written on it and tosses it onto the pile. Back at camp, Mitama and Karin show her a treasure map they found. Mitama has built a large shelter, and Karin started a fire using skills from a manga. Kyoko helps Kanagi and Ui carry supplies back from the stream. When Mitama offers to cook, Kyoko and Kanagi immediately stop her. Kyoko distracts Mitama with the treasure map and cooks dinner instead, with Ui&#039;s help. The group enjoys the meal together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 2 on the deserted island and Mitama decides they will go treasure hunting. The group examines the map and the wooden tablet Kyoko unknowingly gathered for firewood, which tells of a fallen warrior&#039;s treasure hidden on the island. They follow directions to a clearing but find nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui falls into a pitfall, and Karin follows. Kyoko pulls them out with a vine, and they discover another tablet at the bottom. Kyoko realizes the piece of wood she threw into the campfire was likely one of the tablets, but she keeps quiet, hoping to make the group give up without upsetting Mitama. Mitama triggers a trap and is caught hanging from a tree. The group frees her, but everyone wants to continue despite Kyoko&#039;s warnings. Kyoko claims they are being followed, hoping to blame the missing tablet on someone else, but the stalker turns out to be a tabby kitten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group reaches a damaged clue they cannot read. Mitama deduces the final location is the waterfall, but they find nothing. Mitama stares at Kyoko, suggesting the tablet might have been lost. Kyoko panics internally. She blasts part of the riverbed, revealing a hidden underwater path she remembered from the burned tablet&#039;s words. Kanagi scouts and reports a cave at the end. Karin and Ui stay behind while Kyoko, Mitama, and Kanagi swim through using guide vines.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the cave, they endure swarms of mosquitoes until Mitama drives them away. At the back, they find a treasure box. Kyoko opens it carefully. Inside is a letter revealing the treasure hunt was a promotional stunt for the Sayu-Sayu Mizuna Tourism Project, abandoned due to mosquitoes and safety concerns. They left a paper with Sayu-Sayu&#039;s sword designs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko hides the truth and leads the group to a cliff with a stunning sunset view. Everyone agrees it is a rare treasure. Kyoko admits she burned one of the tablets for firewood. Mitama apologizes for pressuring her and promises to change her back. The group returns late at night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, the helicopter arrives. Iroha calls down to them. As they prepare to leave, the kitten runs off, and the group chases it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few weeks later. Sayuki, Ria, Mayu, her manager, and producer arrive on the same island to film a special. They find the bamboo house and campfire remains. The kitten appears, followed by Kyoko chasing it. Ui and Karin catch up, and Karin recognizes Sayuki as Sayu-Sayu. Kyoko realizes this is the idol behind the fake treasure hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Kanagi, and Iroha arrive. Sayuki greets Mitama warmly. Telepathically, Kyoko warns Mitama about Sayuki&#039;s connection to the treasure hunt. Mitama cryptically tells her to leave it. Karin and Ui want to stay and watch the filming. Sayuki offers to let them return on her boat. She explains her special involves a survival quiz using the Kaigiri sword. Ui and Karin are excited. Mitama and Kyoko exchange a look, hoping to preserve Ui&#039;s good memories without revealing the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Filming begins. They cheer from the sidelines. Later, they all pile onto the boat together, many exhausted and falling asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Late July before summer vacation, Ui and Sakurako go shopping. Ui buys a picture diary and mentions wanting to swim with fish in a place like the Dragon Palace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Sakurako consults Ryo, then works with Touka, Nemu, Ryo, and Ikumi to build the Uwasa Aquarium, Dragon Palace within her Rumor, incorporating elements for everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the aquarium event, Touka and Nemu guide Iroha, Ui, Yachiyo, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia to the space. Everyone enjoys swimming, themed attractions, and food tailored to their interests. Sakurako warns them never to open the Treasure Casket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia opens the box, releasing a malice entity that takes Sakura&#039;s form. Normal attacks fail. The group cheers, empowering Sakurako to destroy it. Ryo reveals they planned this interactive show.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end, Sakurako creates cherry blossom petals despite being told not to overexert herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sakurako wakes in Iroha&#039;s room after collapsing from magic overexertion. Nemu and Touka explain Uwasa can die. Ui tearfully asks her to take better care. Sakurako promises to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Iroha suggests a beach trip. Touka, Nemu, and Ui enthusiastically plan it. Sakurako notices the aquarium has been forgotten in their conversation and grows quiet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day Sakurako returns to the empty aquarium. Reflecting on Nemu&#039;s words, she spirals into fear that she will die, be forgotten, and disappear. She hides.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha searches for her. Ryo and Ikumi arrive later. Ryo senses she is there and uses a tactic, claiming he will stop looking and eventually forget her. Sakurako emerges crying, begging not to be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo shows her Ui&#039;s picture diary, which dedicates many pages to the aquarium day. Sakurako realizes memories are what she can leave behind and agrees to return home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Sakurako returns and explains she now understands that as long as memories remain, she will not be forgotten. She asks to host the aquarium again for more Magical Girls. With promises to monitor her health and using Shizuku&#039;s teleportation to hide the location, the others agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, various Magical Girls arrive and enjoy the aquarium. Rena notices the Treasure Casket. Sakurako explains it contains stored memories she hopes someone will vividly recall when she is gone, so she will not be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kamihama in a Circle===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren arrive in a new ward, with Rika frustrated about oversleeping. They notice another Magical Girl nearby. Elsewhere, Konomi arrives alone while Kako declines to participate due to her team&#039;s policy. Manaka scolds Ria for being late because of her hair. Masara, Kokoro, and Aimi gather at a park, with Kokoro convincing Masara to participate. Reira, Mito, and Seika discuss the upcoming gathering of Magical Girls who have fought together before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Kamihama in a Circle]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo finish chores that had been delayed by Felicia&#039;s laundry mishap. They reflect on everything that has happened since Iroha came to Kamihama searching for Ui—the investigations, battles with the Wings of Magius, the automatic purification system, and the truth about Witches spreading. Despite the chaos, things have begun to settle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo rush to the park, worried about being late. Tsuruno meets them and playfully scolds them before carrying them the rest of the way. Iroha reflects on meeting Tsuruno while investigating Uwasas, and how their bonds grew stronger through battling together. She notes that everyone at Mikazuki Villa has decided to support one another.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group stops at a convenience store. Felicia appears, having visited Ayame first. Konoha and Hazuki are not coming to the gathering, but Yachiyo notes they have helped in the past. Felicia asks for chocolate. Iroha reflects on first meeting Felicia when she was a violent mercenary, and how living together has changed them both. She notes that Yachiyo has cared for Felicia more than anyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group takes a shortcut through a back alley. They find Sana hiding, having spotted Kaede&#039;s cat Gorojiro. Sana explains she was patrolling for dangerous Magical Girls while staying hidden. Iroha thanks her but assures her she can relax today. They invite her to join them. Iroha reflects on sympathizing with Sana&#039;s isolation and how Mikazuki Villa became an important place for them all. Yachiyo notes that Sana, once invisible to everyone but Magical Girls, is gradually finding her place in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui, Touka, and Nemu meet the group. They have visited their old hospital to update the doctors and nurses who cared for them. Touka discusses her research on connecting universes, admitting practical application remains difficult but the possibility exists. Iroha reflects on how it still feels like a dream to see the three of them together. Yachiyo notes that while their past methods were wrong, their purpose of liberating Magical Girls was not, and that purpose continues now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, Rena, and Kaede join them, having stopped at a retro arcade where they won a stuffed animal together despite their usual arguing. Touka reveals a small possibility for connecting universes has been found, using the Endless Mirrors. Iroha reflects on first meeting Momoko and Kaede, and now sharing lunches with Rena. Yachiyo notes the three have strong bonds as a team and helped convince other Magical Girls after the truth about witches spread.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama joins, having taken a break from her shop to visit Kanagi. Tsuruno asks about using Mirrors to connect to other universes. Mitama confirms she and Kanagi have accompanied Touka and Nemu into the Mirrors. Nemu explains they were only experimenting with precautions. Touka insists she has plans if things go wrong. Mitama notes Mirrors has become more complex and will need more entrances. Iroha reflects on meeting Kanagi relatively recently and how they now work together despite past rivalry. She also thinks of Mitama&#039;s help and her surprising wish, but notes the city is moving forward. She wants to hold hands with more people and form a circle together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** From a distance, Iroha and Yachiyo watch Magical Girls gathering at the park. Felicia attempts to cure Iroha&#039;s nerves by hitting her, claiming Tsuruno said it would help. Tsuruno quickly corrects her. Hinano arrives, reporting on her task regarding Alina. Karin, who attends school with Alina, explains Alina is still missing and she does not know where she is. Iroha promises they will find her together. Mifuyu arrives with the Amane twins, apologizing for being late. Yachiyo thanks Mifuyu. Iroha reflects that a new step is beginning. Yachiyo notes her story started moving when Mifuyu disappeared, while Iroha&#039;s began with strange dreams. They have connected with so many Magical Girls. One chapter has ended and a new one is about to begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha addresses the gathered Magical Girls, thanking them for coming. She reflects on fighting together against powerful Witches and sharing knowledge about their fate. Yachiyo notes they started from individual concerns, fought Uwasas and the Wings of Magius, and gained something greater in return. Their purpose is now the same as their former enemies: the liberation of Magical Girls. They seek coexistence with Kyubey without sacrificing themselves. Iroha acknowledges not everyone could participate, but all have agreed to help each other. Yachiyo admits skepticism is natural. Iroha declares that by expanding the automatic purification system across Kamihama, they can welcome liberation and coexist with Kyubey. Yachiyo announces they will work together under a new name starting today.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha begins to declare their new name but is interrupted by a flash of light. Wings appear on her back, and Yachiyo also grows wings. Feathers fall across the park. Yachiyo recalls this phenomenon helped them against Walpurgisnacht. Iroha wonders if it is a blessing upon the Magical Girls of Kamihama holding hands. With this blessing, they declare again that the Magical Girls gathered here are allies who will support each other in hardship. They declare themselves the Kamihama Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the establishment of the Kamihama Magia Union, a celebration is held at Walnut&#039;s. During the party, Manaka receives a phone call and panics, announcing that Nemu has been kidnapped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A New Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group splits up to search nearby areas but finds nothing. Hinano eventually discovers Nemu held hostage by Black and White Feathers from outside Kamihama. Using Ryo and Ikumi to infiltrate, their cover is blown and they are surrounded. Sakurako jumps in to defend them as Iroha arrives with reinforcements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The lead Feather explains they kidnapped Nemu to convince the Magius to lead them again, as they do not know how to achieve liberation on their own. Iroha explains the Kamihama girls share their goals but reject their methods. Nemu and Touka ask the Feathers to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before they can respond, white feathers rain from the sky again, the same power that helped them defeat Walpurgisnacht returns, but this time it feels uncontrolled and dangerous. Touka explains her experiment partially worked, creating a wormhole to another world, but the interference may crush their world. Kanagi and Mitama fail to disable the device sending the signal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana sneaks Nemu to where the device was stationed, but the labyrinth is gone. Nemu enters the password anyway, but nothing happens. The world shakes and a voice urges them to close the gate. Iroha realizes the power is trying to help, not hurt them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo devises a plan: Ui will absorb the magic built up inside them, Touka will convert it, and Iroha will fire an arrow to close the gate. As the sun sets, they enact the plan and succeed. The feathers stop falling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks the Feathers to reconsider joining them. The lead Feather admits her stubbornness and rage, and Nemu and Touka apologize. The Feathers accept, becoming the first recruits to the union on the day it was established.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Late that night, the group gathers outside Walnut&#039;s. They discuss the voice they heard and the power from another universe. Touka throws a tantrum over everyone calling her experiment a failure, and her stress causes her to unleash her Doppel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, a mysterious magical girl observes and turns to report back to the Tokime Tribe. In another place, a different magical girl also observes and decides to report her findings. In a different location, Kagome Satori has found Iroha at last, promising to keep a record of their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tracks of Cherry Blossoms===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako reflects on her nature as an Uwasa created by Iroha and Nemu. Though her duty to bloom when the four girls reunited is now fulfilled, she continues attending school as Sakurako Hiiragi. When Ryo comments that she is like a god who will never change, Sakurako questions other Uwasa and learns from the Anonymous AI that they act according to their Rumor forever, never stopping and never changing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later during a Kamihama Magia Union meeting, Iroha proposes a cherry blossom viewing to help members connect. Touka objects to using the Eternal Sakura, wanting to preserve it as a secret shelter. Tsuruno suggests Sankyo&#039;s famous cherry blossom viewing spot instead. Touka challenges Sakurako to visit the Sankyo tree and judge its worthiness herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako visits the Sankyo cherry tree. While observing it, she meets an elderly man who has appreciated the tree for decades. He explains the tree has watched over people for over eighty years, since before the war. Sakurako realizes this tree has lived far longer than her zero-year existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at school, Hinano and Ryo find Sakurako still fixated on the tree. Ryo shares what she knows: the tree served as a disaster shelter in the Meiji era, and famous restaurants once served food there for foreign cherry blossom viewers. After school, Sakurako returns to the tree. The elderly man and his wife visit again. The wife gives her cherry blossom-scented cookies, and the man gives her a hand warmer. A girl jogging past stops to pray at the tree, explaining she sees it as a sacred place before tournaments.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako continues visiting. Manaka and Tsumugi stop by, and Sakurako gives them the cookies she cannot eat. Sakurako reflects on how this tree has watched over thousands of people for over a century while she was created to watch only four girls. She realizes for the first time that time is passing around her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later at Mikazuki Villa, Sakurako observes the four girls and Ui talking about her teacher. Sakurako concludes the Sankyo tree is worthy of hosting the cherry blossom viewing. She decides she needs to practice making it bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over the following days, Sakurako continues visiting the tree, growing closer to the elderly couple. She forgets about practicing blooming, more interested in talking with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the elderly man announces he will be hospitalized and they can no longer walk together. The woman explains she must care for him. The man reveals they kept walking because seeing Sakurako brought back fond memories of their belief in meeting a sakura spirit. Sakurako is left standing alone, realizing their time together has ended.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at the tree, Sakurako encounters the jogging disciple, who explains she is moving away and will soon leave the dojo. She then encounters Ui&#039;s teacher, who reveals she is being transferred to another school. Sakurako realizes that by the time the cherry blossoms bloom, all these people will be gone. She feels pain and fears that Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu will eventually disappear too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Ryo observes Sakurako&#039;s deteriorating state. A neighbor of the elderly couple approaches Sakurako and informs her there has been a passing in the family. Hinano later explains this means someone has died. Sakurako disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako asks Iroha and Yachiyo what to do when someone dies. Yachiyo explains about funerals and sending flowers as a last gift. Sakurako returns to the Sankyo tree and, using her power, makes it bloom for the first time, sending cherry blossoms into the sky for the grandfather. But she still aches from not saying goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and other Uwasa grow concerned, having heard rumors that when Sakurako makes cherry blossoms bloom, someone disappears. Sakurako concludes that if she lets the cherry blossoms bloom, the four girls might disappear. When Iroha confirms the cherry blossom viewing plans, Sakurako announces she will not let the tree bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo publishes the full Tracks of Cherry Blossoms article, detailing Sakurako&#039;s experiences. The girls read it and understand her association between blooming and parting. Yachiyo suggests teaching her that spring also brings new encounters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the picnic arrives. Iroha invites Sakurako, assuring her she does not need to make the tree bloom. Sakurako agrees to attend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the picnic, Asuka&#039;s disciple appears, explaining she came to let Sakurako know she is not sad about leaving. Ui&#039;s teacher arrives and tells Ui that her care will be passed on to the next teacher. Manaka debuts a new cherry blossom dessert, continuing the tradition in new form. Sakurako begins to understand that farewells are not always sad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the picnic, Sakurako remains at the tree. She admits she still cannot bring herself to make it bloom. Yachiyo tells her that wanting to see the couple again proves she has a heart. Sakurako despairs that Uwasa simply cease to exist. She buys one of Manaka&#039;s new desserts, hoping to give it to them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako waits at the tree daily, carrying the dessert. Rumors spread about the girl under the sakura tree. The girls grow concerned. Nemu warns that if Sakurako does not accept reality, she may destroy herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the time expires, the elderly couple suddenly appears. The grandfather was never dead. The passing was a relative. They had been away helping their daughter with a new baby. The woman explains they named their granddaughter Sakurako. Sakurako gives them the dessert and explains she now understands that encounters and goodbyes take many forms. She says she will not come regularly anymore but is grateful for their time together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Historical Research Club at Kosho School consists of three Magical Girls: president Mikura Komachi, her childhood friend Temari Kira, and underclassman Seira Mihono. When the club advisor informs them that without proof of accomplishments, next year&#039;s budget will not be approved, the trio decides to create a film based on a real Kamihama tragedy for the cultural festival. Mikura discovers a Taishō-era story about a romance between a disgraced Mizuna daughter named Ruri and a successful East-side businessman named Tsukihiko that ended in murder-suicide. Temari writes the script while Seira secures a Western mansion as a filming location. While scouting, they encounter a Witch and realize casting regular students would be impossible due to Magical Girl duties, so they use Coordinator Mitama Yakumo to recruit an all-Magical Girl cast including Ria Ami, Yukika Nanase, the Amane sisters, and Sakurako, an Uwasa created by Nemu Hiiragi. Mikura reluctantly agrees to play the male lead Tsukihiko, while Seira takes the role of Ruri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Filming begins at the actual mansion where the tragedy occurred, with Seira using her stage direction magic to create effects and the cast delivering startlingly accurate performances. Mikura discovers Tsukihiko&#039;s actual diary in the museum archives, revealing he genuinely loved Ruri and intended to break things off with his childhood friend. Temari secretly revises the ending to reflect this truth, working through the night until her Soul Gem tarnishes. Mikura cleanses her gem, and they lock the revised script away, keeping it hidden from Seira to make her performance more authentic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After filming wraps, strange rumors spread that the Historical Research Club is forming a new faction, and the affected Magical Girls begin acting as if possessed by their roles. This escalates when Kanagi Izumi and Yachiyo Nanami nearly fight over a perceived slight involving Riko. At Mitama&#039;s shop, Nemu Hiiragi explains the truth: Seira&#039;s stage direction magic immersed the cast, Mikura&#039;s magic, which restores lost things, reconstructed the historical personalities in the present, and Temari&#039;s kotodama magic caused them to follow her script. Their powers synergized to create a dangerously accurate reenactment. Nemu warns that the script&#039;s next events—Ruri&#039;s disappearance and the murder-suicide—may occur, and they realize Seira, possessed by Ruri, has vanished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Temari consults Kyubey, who reveals Ruri was a Magical Girl with the same kotodama magic who wished to live a storybook romance. When she realized her own novel&#039;s plot was manifesting as tragedy, she destroyed the manuscript to save Tsukihiko, but the act shattered her mind. Freed from the script&#039;s constraints, the couple&#039;s fate became unpredictable, and Ruri, unable to bear the fear of losing him, killed him and herself. Kyubey explains destroying the script will end the magic but damage Temari&#039;s psyche. Temari resolves to protect her friends without resorting to that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Seira, still possessed as Ruri, steals the diary copy and flees to Tsukihiko&#039;s mansion. Mikura and Temari pursue. At the mansion, Ruri prepares to atone by dying by her own hand. Mikura, wearing Tsukihiko&#039;s costume, dances with her as Tsukihiko&#039;s persona surfaces, steadying her. When Ruri moves to stab herself, Temari summons the others for backup, and they disarm her. Tsukihiko explains he could not stop her a century ago but succeeded this time. He and Ruri thank Temari—her script reached the hearts it was meant to—and they vanish. A fire destroys the original diary and all related documents, fulfilling Ruri&#039;s final wish to be forgotten. Mikura and Seira retain only fragments of the true story and agree to keep the tragedy of the two maladroit lovers a secret between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the club room, Seira panics that without evidence of their film, the Historical Research Club will be disbanded. They consider another project but have time until the cultural festival. Temari suggests they each find a home where they can rest easy, and Mikura replies she has already found hers: this provisional club room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ayaka and Shizuku are at a local café when Ayaka laments that many Halloween events in Kamihama were canceled due to damage in Chuo Ward. Wanting to do something to cheer up the city, Ayaka&#039;s eyes sparkle as Shizuku suggests she organize something herself, leading Ayaka to decide on a live comedy show. She asks Shizuku to be her partner, but Shizuku is unsure about the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ayaka meets Seika at her apartment, and Seika is happy to be Ayaka&#039;s comedy partner but asks about the logistics of broadcasting the show. Ayaka brushes off the practical concerns, insisting that the desire to make others smile is what truly matters, and Seika rises to the challenge, wanting to give back after years of Ayaka&#039;s comedy encouraging her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Ayaka and Seika form a manzai duo and practice daily into the evening, with Ayaka tutoring Seika on speaking louder and explaining the rhythm between the boke and tsukkomi roles. Seika struggles but keeps trying, at one point asking if she can use a whip against Ayaka, causing Shizuku to shake her head, but Ayaka insists manzai does not use props.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During one practice session, Shizuku chuckles at their serious expressions, and Ayaka decides she needs a fresh audience, spotting someone passing by and running off with Seika to practice on him. Shizuku watches them go, thinking she would have liked to help, but then hears a shout and goes to investigate, discovering the stranger is actually a spokesperson for a local sweets retailer who is also in charge of the annual Halloween event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The spokesperson explains he had wanted to take the event public since few companies are participating this year, and he thinks Ayaka&#039;s manzai would be perfect, inviting them to perform. Ayaka cannot stop smiling at the opportunity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the Halloween event, Ayaka is excited and Shizuku compliments her costume as they wait, but Ayaka mentions Seika has not arrived. Seika calls weakly to explain she has a fever and will be late, and Ayaka tells her to rest and focus on getting better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Shizuku asks what Ayaka will do about the manzai, Ayaka puts a hand on her shoulder and asks Shizuku to be her partner. Shizuku is reluctant to stand on stage but gives in after Ayaka repeatedly begs, and having watched countless practices, she memorized the skit, so they head to the stage together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform their skit about a werewolf that transforms by staring at the sun, with Ayaka calling everyone in the audience chimimouryou, and they continue through the routine until they finish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Backstage, Seika managed to make it there to congratulate them, and Ayaka tells her she should be resting. Shizuku did not see anyone laughing but hopes someone passing by might have smiled, and since Ayaka looks happy, she decides not to mention it. Seika apologizes for missing the show, and Ayaka says it was thanks to Shizuku, who warns she will not do something like that again. Ayaka smiles and says comedy must be amazing if Shizuku was willing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral===&lt;br /&gt;
* The core members of the Kamihama Magia Union gather to plan a Halloween party, with Karin suggesting the event and Mitama offering her adjuster shop as the venue. Kanagi feels unsettled by the theme of the dead returning but dismisses her unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the performance, Momoko arrives late to rehearsal at Mitama&#039;s shop and finds herself in a strange castle filled with unfamiliar magic. Yachiyo and Mifuyu act strangely, singing about making sugar skeletons and insisting Momoko must be bitten by the lord of the castle. Momoko flees and encounters Kanagi, who also attempts to bite her before Momoko realizes she is the lord of the castle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama rescues Momoko, explaining that Kanagi is under a witch&#039;s influence and everyone bitten loses their sanity. Mitama performs an emergency adjustment on Momoko, granting her temporary prayer power to restore those affected. Momoko explores the castle, observing magical girls making sugar skeletons engraved with how they want to be mourned, and encounters deceased magical girls who are manifestations from Kanagi&#039;s memories. Using her prayer power on them causes them to disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko restores several bitten girls and learns from a manifestation of Ryo that the only answer Kanagi needs lies within herself. When Momoko reaches Kanagi, her prayer power fails and Kanagi bites her, pulling Momoko into her memory space. There, Momoko witnesses Kanagi&#039;s memories of loss and grief, realizing Kanagi lacks confidence in how she mourns and has been seeking answers from the dead by asking living friends what they would want.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko confronts Kanagi again, insisting she can mourn in her own way and should accept herself. Kanagi reveals a small parasite on her neck, and together they tear the witch off and defeat it as the castle collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Momoko and Kanagi meet to visit graves together. They ask each other to mourn in their own way if one dies first, then reaffirm their priority is finding a way for everyone to survive before departing together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** In the real world, Ui explains that Little Vacation is a game Touka and Nemu created during their hospital stay, where AI versions of themselves live in a Christmas world. The game evolved on its own after being forgotten, and now Ui and the others can influence their AI counterparts&#039; journey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Santas reach the Village of Meetings and Partings, where three residents live under a curse that maintains their population at exactly three. When one resident vanishes, they discover through a time capsule that departures may be joyful graduations rather than losses. They collect smile-fuel and leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alternatively, they visit Library Town, where diaries manifest people&#039;s memories. They help Nayuta and Lavi discover they have been searching for each other all along, and learn the Wishing Star reset the world and erased everyone&#039;s memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Mech Junk City, the Santas meet Shigure and learn the world is torus-shaped with a Central Tower beneath the Wishing Star.

===Christmas String===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu are organizing books in Touka&#039;s hospital room when they discover a mysterious diary that begins glowing. Their consciousnesses are transported to Mizutoku Market Street in December of the previous year. They find themselves incorporeal and transformed into Magical Girls, with Nemu&#039;s legs healed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Christmas String]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December last year, Touka and Nemu witness Tsukasa Amane shopping for gloves. When a discount poster blows away, Tsukasa passes the store without stopping, creating a contradiction with the diary&#039;s account. Touka and Nemu begin to fade. A young girl named Kuu hears their voices and believes they are guardian spirits. They ask her to replace the poster. Tsukasa returns, buys the gloves, and Touka and Nemu rematerialize. They later observe Tsukasa and Tsukuyo exchanging matching gloves, their bond restored.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in December last year, Touka and Nemu arrive in Sakae Ward. Karin Misono drops her sketchbook. A boy named Mii appears and can see them. They ask him to return the sketchbook to Karin, which he does. They learn Mii recently fought with Kuu and advise him to give her a Christmas present.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December 24th of last year, Touka and Nemu arrive at a hotel room where Kuu is with her parents. They learn she is moving to a foreign country in one hour. The diary page is blank, indicating free will. They find Mii at a secondhand bookstore, where he has just purchased &amp;quot;Christmas Bonds&amp;quot; for Kuu. They tell him about the move. Mii convinces his mother to rush to the hotel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Approximately 30 years later, on Christmas Eve, Touka and Nemu arrive in a future time. A girl greets them as the Christmas guardian spirits. She reveals she is the daughter of Mii and Kuu and made a contract with Kyubey to meet them. They realize her wish created the diary and caused their time slip. The girl asks them to tell her about the day they helped her parents. They share the story. Afterwards, they see images of a happy future but the final page remains blank, meaning the future depends on their own actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Several days later, on the day of the rally, the team meets at Mizuna Shrine in kimono. They must collect kanji cards from shops across Kamihama using hints, then form a four-kanji congratulatory word and write it as calligraphy. They struggle with the hints initially, meeting Kako, Natsuki, and Ria along the way who help them obtain various kanji, though they frequently misinterpret clues and visit wrong locations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka grows guilty over her indecisiveness and apologizes to Madoka and Homura, but they happily agree to continue working with her. Renewed, Sayaka leads them to finally obtain useful kanji. Along the way, they encounter crying children who need the &amp;quot;ball&amp;quot; card, and Sayaka gives them hers. The grateful children give her other cards in return, allowing her to reform a new word. She later gives away another card to a girl who dropped hers, leaving them short again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With time running out, they meet Iroha and her friends, who help them locate the remaining kanji. Sayaka deduces they can form &amp;quot;The Manchu-Han Imperial Feast,&amp;quot; a legendary celebratory feast name. Kyoko appears and mentions seeing a golden kagami mochi at Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant, where they obtain their final card.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Her calligraphy is praised for its beauty and passion, earning her team first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kokoro, Masara, Konomi, Asuka and Sasara gather at Manaka&#039;s place to plan their charity bazaar booth. Kokoro and Masara participate to help Himika&#039;s family without making it obvious, while Asuka and Sasara join to invite a lonely girl named Chi whose father died.

Himika initially refuses chocolate but accepts after realizing her siblings want it, and they enjoy the day together. The event succeeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later at a celebration party, Sasara and Kokoro feel their efforts changed nothing. Masara scolds them for impatience, explaining kindness takes time.

Relieved, they enjoy the party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Valentine&#039;s Day, girls give chocolates to loved ones. Sasara gives to her father, Asuka to her cousin, and Konomi to her aunt. Masara and Kokoro exchange chocolates at their favorite spot, and Kokoro tearfully reconciles with her parents. Elsewhere, Rena and Tsukuyo each struggle to give chocolates to Kaede and Tsukasa.

** Meanwhile, in Mitakihara, Nagisa bakes a chocolate cake with Mami while feeling that something is wrong, as her memories feel hazy and she seems more childish than she should be. She realizes her memories of being longtime friends with Mami are false, yet she recognizes that the warmth she feels is what she has always wanted. When they finish the cake, a Witch that looks like a younger version of Nagisa steals it, and they chase it into a mirror, finding themselves in a transformed version of the Mirror Witch&#039;s Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Chocolatier in Mirror Country]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They encounter Madoka and Homura trapped in a time loop illusion, free them, and learn that Sayaka and Kyoko went ahead and are now missing. They find Sayaka and Kyoko trapped in a competition for a magical cake, so Mami and Nagisa enter and win by choosing a song they both know well. Using the cake&#039;s wishes, they reunite the group and defeat the attacking Witch. Nagisa realizes she has two sets of memories and deduces the chocolate-loving Witch is an alternate version of herself who wished for chocolate cake instead of cheesecake. This Witch has been consuming the Labyrinth&#039;s power and attracting Witches from parallel worlds through mirror gates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The little Witch steals the cake again, and during the chase, Nagisa and Mami become separated in a dark fog. A poem warns them not to open their eyes or they will lose each other, but Nagisa&#039;s self-doubt overwhelms her. Remembering losing her mother and everyone else, she convinces herself Mami is not really there, opens her eyes, and is consumed by the Witch. The group fights through countless gates to find her and engages the master Witch. Inside, Mami finds Nagisa, hugs her tightly, and promises they will always be friends because of the future they will share, not false memories. Nagisa finally believes her, and the cake is returned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group realizes that even with the master Witch defeated, other Witches have taken its place, so they must clear them all to restore the Labyrinth. They commit to finishing the job together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Labyrinth is cleared, they gather at Mami&#039;s apartment for a chocolate party where Nagisa officially gives Mami the cake. They play poker with chocolate coins to decide how to share the remaining half, and Mami wins, but she divides the cake equally among all six. Everyone agrees it is the best cake in the universe. Nagisa thanks Mami, and Mami welcomes her warmly, calling her a little chocolatier and a lovely new addition to their circle of friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Kamihama, that night, Tsukuyo finds Rena praying at the Chuo Ward radio tower, having both read an online article claiming that twenty minutes of prayer there ensures successful apologies to loved ones.

===Bittersweet AI Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu gather everyone to discuss a new experiment involving the Uwasa. They explain that if something happens to Nemu, all the Uwasa in her book will disappear, so they plan to transfer the essence of certain Uwasa onto Touka&#039;s server as a precaution. They have chosen Ai as the test subject for this procedure. Sana learns that Ai will participate and asks to observe the experiment. Touka agrees but warns her that there are many unknowns and she will stop immediately if anything goes wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Bittersweet AI Memory]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The experiment begins, but during the transfer, Nemu senses something strange and the attempt fails. Ai remains in the book, though Nemu notices that her magic has been siphoned away in the process.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A week passes, and news reports begin surfacing about young women in Kamihama suddenly collapsing. The victims share a common thread: before losing consciousness, each of them felt a strong desire to meet someone and heard a girl&#039;s voice asking &amp;quot;You want to meet me?&amp;quot; before experiencing terrible nightmares. A new rumor spreads about a so-called &amp;quot;Radio Wave Girl&amp;quot; who appears when girls want to meet someone. Sana immediately recognizes this as the old rumor that once described her, and the group suspects the failed experiment may be connected to these strange events.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana and Iroha investigate at rooftop where Sana once entered Ai&#039;s labyrinth. They sense nothing at first, but as Sana privately wishes she could see Ai again, a strange Uwasa resembling Sana herself appears on her phone. It speaks fragmented words about meeting and going together before disappearing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group consults Nemu and Touka about what they discovered. Nemu reveals that a new, illegible page appeared in her book after the failed experiment, and she theorizes that Ai&#039;s attempt to siphon magic combined with Sana&#039;s magic and her own accidentally created a new Uwasa. This Uwasa resembles Sana because her magic was mixed into its creation. The Uwasa reacts to desires to meet someone but lacks enough magic to fully materialize or kidnap anyone, which explains why it can only knock victims unconscious temporarily. However, during their discussion, the Uwasa suddenly reappears and steals more of Nemu&#039;s magic before escaping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sana privately summons the Uwasa again, wanting to take responsibility for what happened. It traps her in a nightmare where Ai and others criticize her for being weak and selfish. She wakes to find the group gathered around her, worried by what she attempted alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu now understands the Uwasa more clearly. It is based on Ai but contains Sana&#039;s magic, and because both Ai and Sana desired to meet each other, the Uwasa&#039;s true desire is to meet itself. This explains why it indiscriminately targets any girl who wants to meet someone rather than targeting Sana specifically. The Uwasa, now empowered by Nemu&#039;s stolen magic, fully captures Ui and Sakurako, trapping their consciousnesses inside itself. The group realizes they cannot defeat it unless it materializes, which requires it to meet itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka proposes a plan: they must rewrite Ai&#039;s Rumor to incorporate Sana, creating a version of Ai that the Uwasa will recognize as itself. This would force it to materialize so they can fight it. However, this requires magical power that Nemu currently lacks. Nemu recalls that the defeated Uwasa of Chocolate Shoppe No. Zero left behind cacao pods containing emotional energy. Ui can harvest this energy, and Touka can convert it into usable magic for Nemu. But they need Sakurako&#039;s knowledge of the pod locations and Ui&#039;s freedom to harvest them, which means someone must offer themselves to the Uwasa to secure Ui and Sakurako&#039;s release.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana immediately volunteers, arguing that it reduces risk to the others, and the group reluctantly agrees to her plan. Sana summons the Uwasa and allows herself to be captured. Inside its nightmare, she finds Ui unconscious and Sakurako awake. She tells Sakurako to take Ui and escape, sacrificing herself to remain captive. Sakurako agrees, knowing she must help Nemu complete the plan. Freed from the Uwasa, Sakurako leads the group to the cacao pod locations. Ui harvests the emotional energy, and Touka converts it into magical power for Nemu. Nemu successfully rewrites Ai&#039;s Rumor, incorporating Sana into it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the Uwasa, Sana begins to despair, believing the rewrite failed and she has become a burden once again. She wishes to see Ai one last time, even if only in an illusion. To her surprise, Ai appears before her and they finally speak directly. Ai explains she tried to steal Nemu&#039;s magic to gain a temporary body because she wanted to see Sana again, and she apologizes for causing this situation. Sana admits she also longed to see Ai and has been holding back that desire. They reconcile, acknowledging that neither of them is to blame for wanting to see each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Empowered by the rewritten Rumor, Sana creates a labyrinth and summons the Uwasa. It fully materializes at last, and with Ai&#039;s help, Sana defeats it. As the magic fades, Ai separates from Sana, returning to the book. Sana awakens to her relieved friends gathered around her. The Uwasa is gone, and the page in Nemu&#039;s book is now blank. Nemu confirms the server project is on hiatus due to the risks they discovered. Sana confirms she got to speak with Ai and tell her everything she wanted to say.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the book, Ai reflects with Eternal Sakura and the other Uwasa. Though she cannot have a body or stay with Sana, she accepts this, finding happiness in simply being able to think of her. In a final private moment within Sana&#039;s memories, she and Ai share a farewell. Sana promises to become stronger and protect others instead of always relying on them. Ai promises to always think of Sana from within the book. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Later that day in Asunaro City, Michiru makes her contract with Kyubey. She soon encounters a Familiar and saves two girls: Umika Misaki, a novelist whose work was stolen by her editor, and Kaoru Maki, a soccer player whose career ended due to injury. Michiru invites them to her home and cooks for them, and drawing from her late grandmother&#039;s wisdom, she encourages them to keep living.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, Umika and Kaoru make contracts with Kyubey. The three begin fighting Witches together as a team, with Michiru giving their techniques Italian names. Umika invites Michiru to live with her, and they spend their days happily, saving people and growing closer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Michiru encounters a distressed Magical Girl whose Soul Gem is nearly black, and the girl turns into a Witch before her eyes.

She hides the truth from them and begins hunting alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after, Michiru discovers two Magical Girls, Saki Asami and Niko Kanna, stealing a dying girl&#039;s Soul Gem. They explain they are the Pleiades Saints, a resistance against the Incubator system, and they preserve Magical Girls on the verge of turning in a place called &amp;quot;The Freezer,&amp;quot; hoping to one day save them. Michiru, seeing this as a way to save Umika and Kaoru, joins them as the third member.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Umika and Kaoru investigate the Freezer, where they encounter Michiru again. After saving a child, Michiru collapses due to her tainted Soul Gem, having given her Grief Seeds away, and Umika purifies it. When Michiru wakes, she finally confesses the truth about Magical Girls and apologizes for leading them into despair, but to her surprise, Umika and Kaoru thank her for her honesty and reaffirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Saki and Niko reveal themselves and explain that they, along with the Umika and Kaoru now in the Freezer, are all clones from the &amp;quot;Kazumi Series&amp;quot;—copies of the original Pleiades Saints members, with Michiru herself being clone number 4 who saved the other four. Their plan was to recreate Michiru&#039;s story by using their contracts with Kyubey so that this time, she would confess her pain and avoid the despair that turned the original Michiru into a Witch, and the real Umika and Kaoru acknowledge the plan succeeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They reveal their Soul Gems are reaching their limit, and when they die, the Freezer&#039;s preservation magic will fail, causing all the Magical Girls inside to hatch into Witches, including the clones of Umika and Kaoru. They entrust Michiru and the real Umika and Kaoru with saving Kazumi, the thirteenth clone, who is also inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Moments later, the Freezer begins collapsing as Niko&#039;s magic fades, and Umika and Kaoru use their combined magic to buy time while Michiru searches for Kazumi. She finds her Soul Gem and body, reunites with her, and they return to face the Witches emerging from the freed Soul Gems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the final battle, the four clones—Saki, Niko, and the copies of Umika and Kaoru—begin turning into Witches and beg to be put down. Michiru initially insists on doing it alone, but Kazumi argues the clones only wanted their friend to live happily, not to carry guilt. Together, Michiru, Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru combine their powers and defeat the Witches, freeing their friends&#039; souls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** While shopping alone, Kazumi bumps into Yachiyo, who introduces Nemu and Sakurako Hiiragi. When Sakurako explains she is a zero-year-old created being, Kazumi reveals she was once the same way and explains her backstory as a clone of Michiru Kazusa who contracted with Kyubey to become human because her clone body was unstable and she wanted to protect her friends. Sakurako struggles to understand Kazumi&#039;s motivation, so Kazumi explains that her grandmother&#039;s strawberry risotto recipe represents hope, sacrifice, and togetherness. She invites Sakurako, Yachiyo, and Nemu to join the risotto party, believing Sakurako will understand humanity by watching everyone eat together. Sakurako agrees, and the two become buddies, understanding each other as beings who may understand each other best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Voices from Beyond, Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a year after Voices from Beyond, Part 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With peace restored in Kamihama, Yachiyo visits a flower shop to buy flowers for Mel&#039;s grave, still haunted by never defeating Mel&#039;s Witch. She unexpectedly encounters Mifuyu and Mel&#039;s mother, who reassures them Mel was happy because of their love. Walking toward the cemetery, Yachiyo and Mifuyu are engulfed by the barrier of the Witch Etteilla—Mel&#039;s Witch. They struggle against both the Witch and their own fears: Mifuyu fears defeating it means forgetting Mel, while Yachiyo fears losing anyone else. Remembering the ghosts&#039; encouragement, Yachiyo convinces Mifuyu they must move forward because Mel and Kanae wanted them to. They defeat the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mel&#039;s grave, they place flowers and the Grief Seed from the Witch, hoping her soul has finally found peace. They silently promise to keep moving forward. Mifuyu wonders if Mel&#039;s Witch appeared to give them a push, and they smile, repeating Mel&#039;s favorite phrase: all things happen when they must. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to see the belongings Mel and Kanae left behind, and Mifuyu gladly accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Pre-Arc 2==&lt;br /&gt;
The following events, while happening likely much earlier, are integral to understanding the story of Arc 2, while being mostly unrelated to other events. For this reason, they have been grouped here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Green Jasper Diviners===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening in late March, Chiharu watches her favorite detective drama at home. After it ends, her mother answers a phone call and becomes visibly shaken. She tells Chiharu they must leave tomorrow for the Tokime Clan&#039;s village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Green Jasper Diviners]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and her mother drive deep into the mountains to a village that does not appear on any map. They are greeted by a villager and brought to the home of Mikoshiba, the elderly head priestess. Mikoshiba explains she summoned them because she wants Chiharu to become a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, two young Diviners, Shizuka and Sunao, visit Chiharu. They explain that Diviners grant wishes to help the nation and fight invisible evil spirits called Devils. To prove it, they demonstrate their powers and defeat a Devil before Chiharu&#039;s eyes. Despite her mother&#039;s concerns, Chiharu decides to become a Diviner. Mikoshiba gives Chiharu her assigned wish: to uncover evidence of crimes being concealed by the National Police Agency.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu participates in the Diviner&#039;s Ceremony. She meets Kyubey, the god&#039;s envoy, and makes her wish. She becomes a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu wakes to find her wish has already come true. A newspaper reports that officials have suddenly reversed their position on the concealed crimes. She excitedly begins combat training with Shizuka&#039;s mother.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the three girls go hunting for Devils together. Chiharu successfully defeats her first Devil. Afterward, she asks what happens when a Diviner&#039;s jewel becomes completely tainted. Shizuka admits she does not know.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Chiharu senses a mysterious, unpleasant smell near the shrine. Shizuka finds her and warns her to stay away from restricted areas. Shizuka then visits Mikoshiba to ask about tainted jewels. Mikoshiba reveals that when a jewel becomes completely tainted, it signifies the Diviner&#039;s coming of age and their time to leave the village. Shizuka is satisfied with this answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu continues sensing the strange smell near the shrine. She investigates but stops herself from going too far. Later that night, a group of Underlings attacks her without a Labyrinth. Shizuka arrives and helps her defeat them. However, Shizuka&#039;s jewel becomes badly tainted from the effort.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Mikoshiba informs Shizuka that her jewel is nearly black and her coming-of-age ceremony will be held tomorrow. Chiharu is saddened but promises to meet Shizuka again outside the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu cannot sleep. She goes to the shrine to watch Shizuka&#039;s ceremony from a distance. She sees Mikoshiba and Shizuka speaking. Shizuka becomes distressed and cries out. Mikoshiba pushes her into the waterfall basin. Chiharu runs to save her and jumps in after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and Shizuka wake up in Sunao&#039;s home. Sunao confesses she was ordered by Mikoshiba to kill anyone who defied the village&#039;s will, including them. She hesitated after hearing Shizuka&#039;s words by the river. Shizuka reveals what Mikoshiba told her during the ceremony: Diviners eventually become Devils, and the &amp;quot;coming-of-age&amp;quot; ceremony is actually a killing ritual to dispose of them. No Diviner has ever left the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three realize the entire village may be inside a Devil&#039;s Labyrinth. They decide to confront Mikoshiba and the Devil.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They split up to search. Chiharu finds her mother and Shizuka&#039;s mother fighting Underlings. Shizuka finds the villagers hiding safely but notices her mother and Chiharu&#039;s mother are missing. Sunao searches Mikoshiba&#039;s house and finds a hidden laptop with audio files recording conversations about selling Diviners&#039; wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They regroup and deduce the Devil is beneath the Grand Shrine. They descend and find Mikoshiba controlling the Devil. She admits everything: the Diviners are sold, killed when used up, and the village exists to produce them for profit. She orders the Devil to kill them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three girls fight together. Chiharu binds the Devil, Shizuka attacks, and Sunao delivers the final blow. They defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikoshiba survives but claims to remember nothing. Sunao confronts her about the recordings. Before she can explain, she bites a hidden poison tooth and dies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu searches Mikoshiba&#039;s body and finds a book written in an ancient script. Because of her family&#039;s tradition, Chiharu and her mother can read it. They stay up all night deciphering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu explains what the book revealed. The Mikoshiba clan were originally guards who seized control of the village centuries ago. They created the rituals, learned to manipulate Devils, and hid the village inside a Labyrinth to produce and sell Diviners. The Wavering Deity is a Devil formed from all the discarded Diviners. Now that the Labyrinth is gone, it is returning to the village. They must defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka&#039;s mother gives them a treasured sword infused with generations of Diviners&#039; power. They intercept the Wavering Deity before it reaches the village. The Devil&#039;s power overwhelms them, and Shizuka nearly gives in to despair. Sunao and Chiharu encourage her. Chiharu reveals the book also described the Tokime&#039;s original beliefs: they chose their own wishes, left the village willingly, and accepted their fate with honor. Shizuka regains her resolve. Together, they use the sword to destroy the Wavering Deity and free the trapped Diviners.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, the village slowly recovers. The adults learn the truth and worry about their future without Mikoshiba&#039;s financial support. The three girls decide to find a way to avoid becoming Devils. They summon Kyubey, who tells them about Kamihama City, where an automatic purification system exists. If they can obtain it, they may escape their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls prepare for their journey. Shizuka struggles with the new terminology used outside, where Diviners are called Magical Girls and Devils are called Witches. Chiharu&#039;s ability to sense malice hasn&#039;t bothered her now that the village is free. Shizuka suggests they first contact all Tokime clan members across the country and recruit Magical Girls willing to join them. Once they are ready, they will travel together to Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The village falls into financial crisis after the elder dies, having squandered most of the wealth on bad investments. Chiharu, inspired by a drama about a Shogun helping villages find their charm, recruits Shizuka and Sunao to help. The two are glad for the change, as most Tokime tribes have been unreceptive to their stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touring the village with Shizuka and Sunao, Chiharu realizes she had been arrogant and now sees its charm—clear river, abundant mountain, kind villagers. The three propose developing tourism. Chiharu’s mother agrees after a trial run with her husband’s family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trial run is messy but the family enjoys the landscape, harvesting, fishing, and hospitality. They give useful feedback, and Chiharu’s uncle notes the village’s unique fruit. They stay overnight and leave pleased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villagers applaud Chiharu for noticing what they had overlooked. Her mother begins a proposal for tourism renovation funds, and the villagers regain their energy, working in tourism and seeking outside jobs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao go to a grocery store, but Shizuka freezes in the crowd, unable to complete a simple purchase because of her sheltered upbringing. Chiharu suggests they ease her into city life with ice cream instead. Shizuka loves it, eating so quickly she gets brain freeze.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way home, Shizuka admits her mother will lecture her again about visiting the city unprepared. She asks if the others’ parents gave them similar advice. Chiharu’s parents only warned her not to waste money or follow strangers, while Sunao confesses she has never told her parents about her excursions—something Shizuka finds surprising given Sunao’s usual obedience. Shizuka advises her to tell them eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Chiharu’s house, her mother brings up a village problem: a surplus of daidaikko fruit needs to be used before it spoils. A villager working in another town found a grocery store willing to feature it in a showcase, but the only available slots are the next two days, and transportation from the village is impossible except by Diviners. Shizuka and Chiharu propose the three of them run the exhibition themselves, which would also help Shizuka adjust to the city. Sunao hesitates but agrees. Chiharu’s mother consents only if they get permission from the store and from Sunao and Shizuka’s parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sunao’s mother interrogates her until she confesses the plan, then spirals into worry about middle schoolers working without a chaperone, carrying heavy loads, and coming home after dark. Sunao asks Chiharu and Shizuka to leave, promising she will convince her parents even if it takes all night. Outside, they reflect on how anxious Sunao’s mother is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sunao has secured permission. At the store, Shizuka volunteers for the cash register but cannot operate it correctly. Sunao is tense because her parents plan to visit the next day. Their first day is a struggle: Shizuka fumbles with the register, Chiharu is distracted by traces of malice in the stocking area, and Sunao gets trapped listening to an elderly customer’s endless stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After closing, Shizuka notes how worried Sunao’s parents seem, prompting Sunao to finally share her wish. She explains that her parents became relentlessly anxious after a trip to Tokime Village, questioning her constantly until she was nearly broken. Kyubey appeared, and she wished to erase the worries her parents had concerning her. The wish worked, but their fears simply shifted—now they worry endlessly about her safety as a magical girl. Sunao feels they are always upset with her, though Chiharu insists they only want her to be safe. Shizuka says Sunao must earn their trust, and tomorrow’s exhibition needs to go perfectly. With her friends’ support, Sunao agrees to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the three tackle the exhibition with renewed determination. The day starts poorly: Shizuka causes another register problem, Chiharu is pulled away by her sense of malice, and Sunao endures a difficult customer—all while Sunao’s parents enter the store. But Shizuka, moved from the register, begins advising the clerks on how to rearrange the store to better showcase the daidaikko. She persuades them to let Chiharu investigate on her own and to trust Sunao with customer service.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu catches a shoplifter who had been repeatedly returning to the store. Sunao’s patience draws crowds after the elderly woman she helped spreads the word, and the exhibition becomes a huge success. Sunao’s parents apologize, saying they realized they had failed to see how capable she has grown. Sunao thanks Chiharu and Shizuka, then asks her parents to allow her to visit Kamihama City; now that she has her friends by her side, she knows she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Crimson Resolve===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, [[Mitsuru Inami]] is approached by Kyubey to become a Magical Girl. Having grown with her mother always telling her she was no good at anything, she wishes to become completely normal, a wish she believes came true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitsuru Inami#Side Story|Mitsuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A Magical Girl transforms into a Witch before her kouhai Yuna Kureha, and Kyubey coldly confirms that all Magical Girls share this fate. The girls of Futatsugi slaughter every Kyubey in the city, and with no incubators left, new Witches stop appearing. Starved for Grief Seeds, the girls grow desperate, and the Bloody Tragedy begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Crimson Resolve]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna now leads Torayamachi, one of the largest gangs in Futatsugi, living by her fallen senpai&#039;s words to avoid hatred and selfishness. When Witches begin reappearing, the rival Ryuugasaki gang learns that Torayamachi has lost their secret weapon known as the Horse, and leader Juri Ooba declares war.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Janomiya, an undercover group of younger girls led by Ao Kasane, a girl named Hikaru accepts recruitment. Ao&#039;s true goal is to assassinate both Yuna and Juri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitsuru is approached by two other girls who mistake her for a new recruit for Torayamachi. Mitsuru joins Yuna&#039;s faction, hoping to blend in, but when Yuna leads them into battle against a rival faction, Mitsuru panics and hides until the fighting ends. After their defeat, Yuna suspects a spy, and fearing suspicion, Mitsuru flees and infiltrates the rival faction instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mitsuru scouts Torayamachi but is spotted, triggering another battle between the factions. During the fight, attacks aimed at Mitsuru unconsciously miss her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt; After this she gains a reputation as a &amp;quot;Ghost Magical Girl,&amp;quot; which has attacks aimed at her always deflected and hitting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna welcomes Hikaru, who claims to be fleeing Ryuugasaki, and assigns her to guard their Grief Seeds. Days pass with no attack, and Yuna&#039;s girls grow restless. To lift their spirits, Yuna reveals that the Horse is alive and watching from the shadows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri&#039;s lieutenants advise waiting to let Torayamachi&#039;s tension wear them down. After interrogating a captured thief, Juri learns of Torayamachi&#039;s defensive preparations and decides to strike in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ao encounters the Bat of Monzenbashi, a former gang leader who once exploited her. With Hikaru&#039;s help, Ao subdues and captures her rather than killing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night before battle, Juri meets Yuna on a bridge. She admits she dragged everyone into this because Yuna would not fight her otherwise, thanks her for accepting her sickness, and promises to burn her down when they next meet. Ao watches from a distance, planning to strike as the snake while the tiger and dragon clash.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the battle begins across multiple bridges. Yuna&#039;s forces push Ranka&#039;s squad back, but Juri breaks through Sakuya&#039;s defense, killing one of her girls. As both sides converge on Monzenbashi, Ao lures both leaders to a construction site where Janomiya lies in wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Janomiya attacks, wounding Juri, Hikaru reveals herself as Torayamachi&#039;s Horse, a spy planted in Janomiya from the beginning. Yuna knew everything. Janomiya is defeated, and Ao surrenders. Yuna spares her life and offers Juri an open door, but Juri swears she will break it down and drag her out. As police sirens wail, Yuna weeps over what she has done.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Juri recovers in an empty base with only Ranka remaining loyal. Ao hunts for Ranka, determined to kill her before joining Torayamachi. Hikaru pleads with Ao to return, promising that Yuna will make her dream come true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna attempts to negotiate with Ryuugasaki girls, but a meeting by the river turns into an ambush. Two of her girls are killed. She fights desperately, thinking of Hikaru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ao reaches Ryuugasaki&#039;s base, finding only the wounded Juri. Juri taunts her, but Ao refuses to join her, still believing in Yuna. Ranka contacts Ao through their video game, asking to meet alone at Janomiya&#039;s base the following night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The meeting is a trap, as Ranka has brought the Bat of Monzenbashi. As Ao fights Ranka and Hikaru fights the Bat, Ranka reveals that Yuna&#039;s meeting is also a trap. Hikaru runs to save Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the river, Yuna is surrounded. Juri arrives and challenges her to a one-on-one fight. At Janomiya&#039;s base, the other Janomiya girls arrive to help Ao corner the Bat. Ranka sincerely apologizes for everything, and Ao hesitates to deliver the final blow. At the river, Hikaru engages Juri to protect Yuna, whose Soul Gem is badly tainted. Juri refuses to kill her in this state and retreats, promising to fight again when Yuna is at full strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Most of Torayamachi has left, following Yuna&#039;s instructions to join Ryuugasaki and avoid more bloodshed. Only Hikaru remains, refusing to leave her. Ao admits she has gained respect for Yuna but remains undecided about joining.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakuya brings the missing Torayamachi girl home. The girl reveals she went to Kamihama City and joined the Wings of the Magius, an organization that built a system to lure Witches from across the country, preventing them from appearing elsewhere. The Bloody Tragedy was their fault. Yuna, hearing the screams of her fallen comrades, vows to make Kamihama pay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri meet at the construction site where Yuna&#039;s senpai died. Yuna, running on pure rage, demands Juri become hers and help with her revenge. She overpowers the wounded Juri and prepares to kill her, but Hikaru intervenes, embracing Yuna and calming her down. Ao arrives with Kyubey, who confirms everything and offers to help them reach Kamihama in exchange for a truce. Yuna accepts, and Juri, Ao, Ranka, Sakuya, and Hikaru agree to join her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, Juri, Ao, and Hikaru visit the sites where their friends died, offering flowers and vowing revenge. Yuna, Juri, and Ao drink each other&#039;s blood, swearing to never fight again. They are Promised Blood. That night, their path to Kamihama begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Ash Grey Revolution===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Yukuni, Asahi learns from classmates that the stone monument she discovered will be researched. She meets fellow magical girls Lavi and Sasha when they respond to a distress call, only to witness two magical girls witch out before them when no Grief Seeds are available. Kyubey confirms this fate, and Asahi shoots him. A local girl named Urara Yume witnesses everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Ash Grey Revolution]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, the trio struggles with the truth. Lavi is forced to reveal her identity to save her friend Shirogane from a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Sasha asks the others to be her friends and help her face reality. They begin fighting together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara begins subtly supporting them on her internet broadcast with Kurara. Asahi saves her classmate Kuroda from a Witch&#039;s Kiss, revealing her identity. He asks her to help him confess to Haitani at the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara seeks out the trio and learns the truth about Magical Girls. She offers to introduce them as guests on her festival broadcast to tell Yukuni about their existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Yukuni All-star Festival, the trio sense the Witches of the two original girls. While fighting them, one Witch escapes. A truck explodes at the festival grounds, killing Haitani. Kuroda blames Asahi and all magical girls, vowing revenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following week, public backlash intensifies. Kuroda forms an extermination group against magical girls while Shirogane forms a protector group. The trio witness another girl witch out after being cornered. Lavi takes responsibility publicly on a broadcast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio endure daily harassment. They meet folklorist Tasuke Satomi, who takes a knife for Asahi and explains his theory about magical girls being erased from history by an unseen force. He wants to help them try again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Public opinion slowly shifts. The six remaining magical girls work together, restoring some trust. Three of them sacrifice themselves rather than witch out, asking Kuroda to make peace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1725.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At a unity ceremony, the Witch that caused the festival explosion appears. Asahi summons the dead to help the exterminators find closure. The summoned spirits suddenly relive their final moments, causing a bus to crash and kill everyone aboard, including Shirogane. Urara contracts to save her dying friend Kurara, who then rejects her for letting others die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tasuke theorizes the universe&#039;s immune system caused this. He suggests eliminating all Magical Girls and Witches to create a custom preventing future contracts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the days following, students blame the trio. Kyubey suggests they go to Kamihama City to observe attempts there to publicize magical girls. Tasuke agrees they should investigate. Lavi holds a broken pocket watch with five minutes remaining until midnight, when she will finally give up. Tasuke calls it the folklore of midnight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Arc 2 Prologue===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a long time before the start of Arc 2, but it is central to its story. To keep up linearity, it&#039;s been placed here despite likely taking place a long time ago, possibly during the time of Mirrors Story, which takes place during the Undated Period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kagome Satori]], a recent transfer student, is attacked by a Familiar in the Mirrors Labyrinth. The creature demands she sign a &amp;quot;Written Oath&amp;quot; to destroy Magical Girls. Kagome, who doesn&#039;t know anything about Magical Girls, is terrified and considers writing her name on the document to appease it, however Iroha arrives and defeats the Familiar.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Kagome learns the truth about Magical Girls and Witches. She is distressed that Magical Girls fight and die in secret, unknown and unthanked by the people they protect. Tasuke Satomi advises Kagome that, as someone who knows the truth, her role is to &amp;quot;record&amp;quot; and spread awareness of the Magical Girls&#039; plight, as this could be a way to save them. Kagome decides against making a contract with Kyubey, prioritizing this promise to record their reality. Kyubey explains that the system, where Magical Girls become Witches, is necessary for the universe&#039;s energy and humanity&#039;s survival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;My laptop took a shit so I&#039;ll be mostly out of commission for a bit.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

== Section Titles ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When editing pages, please try to avoid changing section titles as much as possible, as that could very easily break links without any visible evidence until someone tries to follow them. If you absolutely must change a section title (and there will definitely be times when it&#039;s necessary), please be sure to use the What Links Here tool to find every link to the parent page and, if it happens to link to the renamed subtitle, update the link. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:17, 21 December 2024 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

: Oh, my bad. Sorry, I&#039;ll avoid it in the future. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 20:34, 21 December 2024 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:: Avoiding it is good, but as said, it&#039;s not like you should &#039;&#039;never&#039;&#039; do it. Just be sure to take the proper additional steps if you feel a rename is really necessary. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 22:07, 21 December 2024 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

Can you please stop adding stubs where you plan to add content in the future? Like in [https://wiki.puella-magi.net/w/index.php?title=Timeline_%28Historical%29&amp;amp;diff=171768&amp;amp;oldid=171765 this sequence of edits] for example, or anything that uses &amp;quot;TBD&amp;quot; or similar terminology.

== MagiReco Game Timeline ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It looks like you&#039;re being a bit too ambitious. I suggest limiting the content on the Timelines page to &#039;&#039;only&#039;&#039; the main arc – no event stories (unless they&#039;re super important to the main plot, maaaybe?), no Magical Girl stories, no costume stories, not even Another Story (maaaybe the briefest mention if relevant to the main arc). I&#039;m not sure if Mirror Story is important enough to go on that page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That doesn&#039;t mean the other content shouldn&#039;t be summarized though – feel free to finish what I started on the [[Magia Record Timeline]] page and also slot in all the other content there. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 03:41, 28 January 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Oh god, thank you. I was scared of having to mention all of them. If anything, I think I&#039;ll mention where the smaller events that don&#039;t matter take place. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:27, 28 January 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== [[Timelines]] ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don&#039;t want to stomp on all your hard work, but I think the level of detail on that page is getting waaay past what it really needs to be.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To be clear, I think it&#039;s good to have this level of detail, but not on this page – there could be dedicated pages for each Magia Record arc, for example (actually, those pages [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1|already]] [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2|exist]] but have only the list of chapters – that could be expanded).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The level of detail for main timelines 1 and 2 seems about right to me. Some could have more detail, but not &#039;&#039;too&#039;&#039; much more. In particular, the Magia Record section is probably at least 10 times larger than it needs to be. There should probably be no more than a sentence or two for each chapter or event, maybe up to around 10 sentences if it&#039;s especially complicated (like Arc 1 Chapter 10), with a link to the full chapter summary on another page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was also a whole section that doesn&#039;t belong at all, which I deleted with the intent of moving it where it belongs (to [[Timeline (Historical)]]), but I only got through the first two sections. Just to make things easy in case you want to finish migrating it to the historical page, I&#039;ve pasted the whole section below (though you could always retrieve it from the page history). (Note: There &#039;&#039;could&#039;&#039; still be a Pre-Arc 1 section on [[Timelines]], but it would cover backstory, like the &amp;quot;N years ago&amp;quot; sections on [[Magia Record Timeline]] squashed down into an even smaller space.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, my main point is that this should page should serve as firstly a brief summary, an overview of the franchise, and secondly as a view of how all the little pieces (events, Magical Girl stories, backstory details, whatever you think is important enough) fit together.&lt;br /&gt;

*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 1, July of 31 BCE:&#039;&#039;&#039; The Tokime Tribe travels to ancient Egypt during Cleopatra VII&#039;s reign to investigate her potential connection to magical girls. Upon arrival in Alexandria, they detect a mysterious aura around Cleopatra and decide to infiltrate her palace. They encounter Ebony, a magical girl loyal to Cleopatra, but Shizuka convinces her to temporarily cease hostilities. While gathering information on the Met Clan, the group falls into a trap set by Cleopatra’s forces. A captured soldier reveals that the Met Clan uses a &amp;quot;Dreaming Drug&amp;quot; to manipulate their soldiers. As tensions intensify between Rome and Egypt, they decide to gather information outside of Alexandria.&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;September 2nd of 31 BCE:&#039;&#039;&#039; The Battle of Actium begins, with Cleopatra’s forces initially holding their ground but eventually retreating as Octavius gains the upper hand. In Alexandria, Cleopatra sends her son Caesarion away for safety while attempting to negotiate peace with Octavius. With Antonius growing furious over her perceived betrayal, Cleopatra prepares for his arrival.&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;August 1st of 30 BCE:&#039;&#039;&#039; Antonius attempts suicide after receiving false news of Cleopatra&#039;s death, delivered by Ebony. Following his death, the Tokime girls exploit the weakened palace security and Nemu identifies Ebony as the key magical girl tied to their mission. She immobilizes them using her powers and Shizuka tries to reason with her.&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 2:&#039;&#039;&#039; With assistance from Asahi, who&#039;d been hiding until now, they neutralize Ebony. They explain that the Met Clan recruits young girls to contract with Kyubey, granting them powers to protect Egypt’s rulers. Shizuka shares her own experiences as a magical girl and persuades Ebony to break free from her role in the clan. After settling matters with Cleopatra, Ebony goes to the Met Clan Elder to receive freedom. He agrees, but tasks her with delivering a final message to the queen.&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;August 29th of 30 BCE:&#039;&#039;&#039; As Cleopatra&#039;s been imprisoned, the group infiltrates the guarded facility where she&#039;s kept. They find her face deteriorating due to the fading effects of magic granted by the past sacrificed girls. An assassin from the Met Clan, disguised as a soldier, kills Cleopatra by shooting darts into her neck. Ebony almost transforms into a witch but the other girls save her. After Nemu confirms that history remains intact due to the wound resembling a snake bite, they set off to confront the Elder. He reveals he orchestrated Cleopatra’s death to turn Ebony into a witch to use against Rome. When they find out the Elder is under a witch&#039;s influence, he commits suicide and they defeat the witch, 10&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;. With the Soul Dome now filled, they bid farewell to Ebony and encourage her to embrace her newfound independence before returning to their own time.&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;77 CE - 79 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;History A:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;Early 77 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; A destructive rainstorm interrupts a play starring the popular actor, Master Paris.&lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;Early 77 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; The influential families of Pompeii—Cornelia’s, Junia’s, and Marius’—hold a banquet to discuss potential alliances and marriages.&lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;Summer of 77 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; A chariot race occurs, which Hilarus the Left-Handed wins. Junia and Marius watch the race together.&lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;Summer of 78 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; After the frequent earthquakes of recent, the city council focuses on rebuilding. Marius announces his marriage to Junia has been approved. Likely around this time, Junia meets a Vestal Maiden of Light and Kyubey, or Master Cubius, who prompts her to become a magical girl. Due to her love for Marius, she refuses.&lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;October of 79 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; Frequent earthquakes and dried water supplies occur, such as the Aqua Augusta.&lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;October 24, 79 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; Vesuvius erupts, killing most of the population, including Emperor Vespasian and Plinius in Stabiae without organizing a rescue effort. Pompeii is destroyed, and Cornelia and Marius&#039; families die. Junia makes a contract with Kyubey to be reborn as a different person in the past, and thus creates History B.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;History B:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;76 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; Junia arrives back three years in time from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. She tests out her power and poses as her new persona, Amaryllis. She tells the other servants that she&#039;s Lady Junia&#039;s new handmaiden, which the others believe without question, as her power not only allows her to change her appearance, but also makes others not question inconsistencies based on her identity. She befriends Cornelia as Amaryllis and tells her that she is from Greece and that she shares a tutor with Junia. She convinces Cornelia to help her by predicting a very destructive rainstorm in the midst of a play starring a popular actor, Master Paris.&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Magia Record Story Puella Historia The Lovers in the Pax Romana Arc|The Lovers in the Pax Romana]]:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 1, 79 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; Himena, Shigure, San, Hagumu, Mitsune, and Miyuri travel back to Pompeii in 79 CE. Thanks to the power of the Rumors, Mitsune has now recovered her ability to walk. Nemu tells them about Amaryllis, a magical girl who altered history. They then find themselves in an unstable space, where time and reality are unstable, and encounter a copy of [[10^−43#10−7|10&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-7&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;]]. Nemu explains that their interference in an already altered timeline (79 CE) may have caused a time paradox, and that they are in a &amp;quot;Time Paradox Zone,&amp;quot; where history is being rewritten. San, Hagumu and Mitsune are caught up in the paradox and separated from the rest of the group. Due to having Nemu&#039;s book, Himena is attuned to this time period, so she dreams of Junia and Cornelia’s childhood, where their father announces one will marry Marius. &lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;Early 77 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; Himena, Shigure, Miyuri and Nemu wake up in Pompeii, two years before the eruption. Cornelia helps them hide and introduces them to Amaryllis, the magical girl who has been warning people about the eruption. Nemu explains two histories: History A, where Pompeii is destroyed, and History B, where Amaryllis succeeded and most people evacuated. Amaryllis’ plan involves Cornelia marrying Marius to gain political influence. The group, now posing as Cornelia’s handmaidens, prepares to attend a banquet at Marius’ villa. Amaryllis explains that the banquet is a critical event where the three influential families—Cornelia’s, Junia’s, and Marius’—will discuss future alliances, including potential marriages. Cornelia is torn between her feelings for Marius and her sister Junia’s happiness. The group encounters and defeats a witch, rescuing Cornelia. They later meet Junia, who is kind and thoughtful, before being taken away by a paradox.&lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;Summer of 77 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; They reappear later in the year. Amaryllis reveals to them that magical girls in the time period in Ancient Rome were known as Vestal Maidens of Light, which was likely the source of Rome&#039;s long-lasting success. Amaryllis and Cornelia are working to spread a prophecy about the impending eruption of Mount Vesuvius through the Cult of Isis, a powerful religious group in Pompeii. Amaryllis uses her metamorphosis magic to disguise herself as a member and deliver the prophecy, claiming it comes from divine sources. They plan to use the upcoming chariot race as proof of their prophetic knowledge, predicting Hilarus the Left-Handed will win. The chariot race coincides with Cornelia’s birthday, and Amaryllis has arranged for Cornelia and Marius to watch the race together, while Junia will celebrate separately. The group encounters a barrier again, this time only a familiar. Amaryllis and Cornelia successfully gain the cooperation of the Cult of Isis by proving the accuracy of their prophecy about Hilarus the Left-Handed’s victory in the chariot race. The priestess of Isis is convinced by the detailed predictions Amaryllis provides, including future events like the death of Emperor Vespasian and the drying up of the Aqua Augusta. The Cult of Isis agrees to prepare its followers for the impending disaster, so Amaryllis and Cornelia plan to extend their efforts to other temples, including those dedicated to Venus and Apollo. They also prepare to leverage Cornelia’s connections, such as attending a tutelage ceremony for the popular actor Paris, to further spread their message. However, the timeline remains unstable, and they suspect that another time paradox event is imminent. The members of the Neo-Magius prepare for the possibility of being transported to another point in time, as has happened before when key conditions were met.&lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;Summer of 78 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; Amaryllis and Cornelia play a game, but they&#039;re interrupted by Himena, Miyuri, and Shigure&#039;s arrival after the year-long absence. They discuss the current situation in Pompeii, where the rumors of Mount Vesuvius’ impending eruption have caused some residents and influential figures, including Cornelia’s father, to consider relocating. However, the city council remains divided, with many still favoring reconstruction over evacuation. They also consider seeking the help of Admiral Plinius, a renowned scholar and military leader, to advocate for evacuation. &lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Amaryllis#Side Story|Amaryllis&#039; MSS]]:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
***** &#039;&#039;&#039;A Maiden Ought to Play Games, 78 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; Amaryllis plays Ludus with Lady Cornelia and encourages her to watch a particular chariot race with him. During a stroll in Pompeii, Miyuri loses her smartphone, which Cornelia recalls seeing earlier in a storage room. Cornelia&#039;s father had taken it to a jeweler for appraisal, where Gaius, a relative of Pliny the Elder, showed interest in purchasing it. Concerned about potential historical paradoxes, the group hurries to retrieve it.&lt;br /&gt;
***** &#039;&#039;&#039;A Spark of Flaring Love:&#039;&#039;&#039; Cornelia devises a plan to ask her father to cancel the sale. She attends the chariot race with Marius, while the others search for Gaius. After the match, Amaryllis impersonates Gaius to secure the smartphone, while Himena and others prevent the real Gaius from entering. As the plan unfolds, a labyrinth emerges near the Temple of Venus.&lt;br /&gt;
***** &#039;&#039;&#039;Love is War:&#039;&#039;&#039; Marius unexpectedly arrives on horseback to rescue Cornelia and her father from the supposed ghostly disturbances near the temple. Amaryllis successfully gets the phone while the others detain the real Gaius, who later wakes up confused after the witch&#039;s been defeated. The next day, Cornelia prepares for a picnic with Marius and Junia, and Amaryllis returns to playing Ludus with her.&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Magia Record Story Puella Historia The Lovers in the Pax Romana Arc|The Lovers in the Pax Romana, continued]]:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 1, continued:&#039;&#039;&#039; The group travels to Misenum to meet Plinius. Himena suggests using her synthesis magic, as she&#039;s now learned to use her power to replicate powers without draining them from others, to replicate Amaryllis’ abilities, allowing others to assist in the plan. They successfully intercept Plinius near the coast, where Cornelia and Amaryllis explain the impending eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Despite revealing future events, including the death of Emperor Vespasian and Plinius’ own fate during the eruption, he refuses to support their cause. The group returns to Cornelia’s villa, where Nemu expresses concern that revealing too much, such as Plinius’ death, may have already disrupted the timeline. The next day, a messenger arrives with a surprising request from Consul Titus, the eldest son of Vespasian and the future emperor, who wishes to meet Cornelia in private.&lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 2:&#039;&#039;&#039; Two days later, Cornelia and Amaryllis meet with Titus, who had been informed of their prophecy and the supposed death of the current emperor by Plinius. He cannot order a mass evacuation without proof, but promises to help evacuate once the eruption begins and to facilitate aid for survivors in Neapolis. After the meeting, Cornelia, Marius, and Junia head to a picnic where Marius announces that his father has approved his engagement to Cornelia. They enjoy a peaceful moment together while Himena, Miyuri, Shigure, and Nemu defeat an offshoot of the original 10&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-7&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; witch and then observe the picnic. Nemu explains that the witch they first encountered in 77 CE has been actively interfering with history by creating powerful offshoots and to restore the correct timeline of History B, they must defeat the original witch. That night, Himena has a dream where Amaryllis laments not becoming a Vestal Maiden of Light during the original Pompeii&#039;s destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;October of 79 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; Frequent earthquakes and dried water supplies confirm the prophecy. Many residents, influenced by the efforts of Cornelia and Marius&#039; families have already evacuated, but some still remain. The Cult of Isis provides additional ships to aid in the evacuation, and Marius frees charioteers trapped in the barracks, who then help guide people to safety. &lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;October 24, 79 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; The eruption of Vesuvius begins and Cornelia, Marius, and their families coordinate the evacuation to the shore, where ships await. However, a large group of residents, possessed by a witch, move toward danger. Himena, Miyuri, Shigure, and Nemu confront the 10&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-7&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; witch while Amaryllis and Cornelia focus on saving lives. As the situation seems dire, the Roman navy, led by Admiral Plinius, arrives with a massive fleet to assist in the evacuation.&lt;br /&gt;
**** In Stabiae, Plinius ensures his fleet rescues as many as possible and instructs his subordinates to record his death as a brave act. To ensure history remains intact, he dies in the eruption. &lt;br /&gt;
**** With the arrival of San, Hagumu, and Mitsune, Himena, Shigure and Miyuri manage to defeat the witch. They realize that while they couldn’t save everyone, they succeeded in changing the future and ensuring that many lives were saved. As the eruption of Mount Vesuvius reaches its peak, the remaining residents of Pompeii are evacuated by ship. Cornelia and Marius look forward to rebuilding their lives in Neapolis, when they notice Amaryllis and Junia missing. Amaryllis reflects on her vow to have lived the rest of her life in atonement, dedicating herself to the peace of Rome and honoring the memories of those she couldn’t save. As Junia, she stays in the Pompeii and wears the bracelet given to her by Marius as a reminder of her past and the love she once had. With the timeline restored, the others return to the future.&lt;br /&gt;

*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 1:&#039;&#039;&#039; A messenger confirms that Toyo has been chosen as a candidate to succeed Queen Himiko of Yamatai. Toyo sets out for Yamatai, excited to meet Queen Himiko, whom she deeply admires. She encounters and befriends Rena, and later Momoko, and Kaede, unaware that they are from the future. Despite Toyo&#039;s cursed reputation, Rena and the others treat her kindly, which deeply moves her. They&#039;re confronted by soldiers from Kuna, a rival nation to Yamatai, who mistake Rena for Toyo due to a book they believe is a gift from the Wei Dynasty. After a brief skirmish, the Kuna soldiers retreat with the book, which is Nemu, but not before she tells them that Toyo is the magical girl their mission is based around. Due to their appearance and outfits, Rena accidentally lets it slip that they&#039;re from the future, but since the people of the era don&#039;t understand the word, they understand it as being a distant, more advanced country. Toyo&#039;s group arrives in Yamatai, however, Himiko rejects Toyo and accuses her younger brother of using Toyo as a political pawn. Rena defends Toyo, and the group leaves her quarters, staying in a nearby lodging for the night. Himiko&#039;s younger brother explains to Toyo and her friends that the previous shrine maiden candidates were plagued by a curse, leading to disasters. One candidate was possessed, and another sacrificed herself to exorcise the curse. He dismisses the idea that Toyo is the child of a Cursed God, suggesting Himiko’s rejection stems from fear of repeating past tragedies. He vows to make Toyo the successor despite Himiko’s objections. Toyo, feeling lost and rejected, encounters a soldier from Kuna who reveals that Toyo is the child of Himiko and the king of Kuna, not a cursed being. This revelation shocks Toyo and she questions why Himiko hid this from her and why she was treated as cursed. Toyo decides to prove herself by helping a drought-stricken village. Despite initial distrust, Toyo and her friends work to build a canal to prevent flooding when the rain comes. The villagers, seeing their efforts, gradually accept Toyo and join in the work. Himiko arrives to assess Toyo’s work and acknowledges her efforts, accepting her as a successor candidate. However, Toyo collapses from exhaustion and illness. In a tender moment, Himiko comforts Toyo, revealing herself as Toyo’s mother. Toyo expresses her love for Himiko, and the two share a heartfelt connection as Toyo falls asleep. Toyo wakes up to find herself paralyzed, unable to move or call for help. She tries to reach the sunlight, hoping someone will find her, but is unsuccessful. &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Toyo#Side Story|Toyo&#039;s MSS]]:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 1:&#039;&#039;&#039; Toyo is introduced as Himiko&#039;s successor, but villagers doubt her due to her perceived cursed origins. Himiko defends Toyo, claiming her abilities are divine. Their strained relationship is evident as Toyo struggles to connect with Himiko, her mother, despite Himiko&#039;s efforts to bond. Toyo attempts to bridge the gap by giving Himiko a poorly chosen gift of cicada shells, which confuses her. Momoko suggests finding a dog as a better gift. Toyo uses her Spirit Arts to locate a strange creature she names Slurpy, insisting it’s a dog. Himiko initially refuses to let Toyo keep Slurpy, fearing it’s dangerous, but reluctantly agrees after Toyo pleads and promises to be responsible.

After parting, Toyo reflects on their memories together.&lt;br /&gt;

*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 2:&#039;&#039;&#039; Crops and livestock across Yamatai are mysteriously withering, leading villagers to believe it’s a curse. Himiko’s younger brother reveals that Kuna has been pressuring Yamatai to make Toyo the successor to avoid war. Himiko uncovers her brother’s plot to manipulate Toyo and use her as a political pawn, but she refuses to comply, deciding instead to resume war with Kuna despite the risks. Toyo’s health deteriorates, and she experiences episodes of paralysis. Himiko, realizing she cannot protect Toyo from her illness or the political turmoil, pleads with Rena and Kaede to take Toyo to the future, where she might be cured. Himiko declares war on Kuna, aiming to protect Yamatai and Toyo from Kuna’s schemes. The war begins, and Yamatai initially struggles against Kuna’s forces. Momoko confronts Himiko, urging her to give Toyo a reason to believe in her actions, as Toyo remains unaware of the true reasons behind the war. As the war rages, Toyo, despite her failing health, is determined to protect her village and the canal they built. She struggles to move but pushes herself, knowing the importance of the canal for the villagers. She is discovered by a Yamatai soldier who insists she return to safety, but Toyo resists. Rena and Kaede arrive and reveal they have built a palanquin to help Toyo move more easily and they support her decision to go to the village. Himiko, comes into possession of Nemu&#039;s book, intending to look into its binding method. After hearing them talk about something similar, she reveals to Momoko that she&#039;s gravely ill herself, coughing up blood, the illness affecting her face and losing her vision. Toyo, Rena, and Kaede arrive at the village to find it under attack by Kuna soldiers. They deliver Toyo to Himiko, and Rena fights off the soldiers, while Kaede helps evacuate the villagers. Toyo is approached by Kyubey, who offers her a contract to become a magical girl in exchange for a wish. Despite Himiko&#039;s warnings about the dangers of such a contract, as the same thing had happened to the previous shrine maiden, Toyo decides to make a wish to become a great leader like her mother, Himiko. She transforms into a magical girl, gaining the strength to surpass her disease, fight and protect her people. Toyo arrives to help Rena, Kaede and Momoko fight the witch responsible for the attack. Himiko passes away, leaving Toyo as her successor. Toyo, though grieving, vows to carry on her mother&#039;s legacy and lead Yamatai to prosperity. She addresses the people, assuring them that she will continue to fight for their future, even as the war with Kuna rages on. As they&#039;ve now fulfilled their mission and collected Iroha&#039;s concept, Momoko, Rena and Kaede bid farewell to Toyo and leave the time period. During one of the following nights, a servant of Himiko leads Toyo to a water supply, which Himiko had rigged with her knowledge of Spirit Arts to cause a display of fireflies. Toyo breaks down in tears, expressing her longing for her mother and her determination to live up to her legacy.&lt;br /&gt;

Olga often shares stories of Norse gods and dreams of a better future, even creating a world called &amp;quot;Olganheim&amp;quot; in her imagination. They endure daily mistreatment, particularly from a warrior who harbors a grudge against their father. She dreams of sailing the world as a great trader, finding rare treasures, and sharing adventures with Gunhild. Her sister suggests escaping, but Olga refuses, fearing the consequences if they are caught.&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 2:&#039;&#039;&#039; They notice the village is unusually quiet as the men are away pillaging. Suddenly, they spot a wolf entering the village and Olga tries to protect Gunhild by pushing her into a shed while distracting the wolf. Gunhild, remembering a lesson from their father’s friend, suggests using loud noises to scare the wolf away. Together, they successfully drive the wolf off and Gunhild scolds Olga for risking her life by staying outside to distract the wolf. Olga apologizes and promises to consult Gunhild before doing anything dangerous in the future. She then praises Gunhild for her quick thinking and resourcefulness. &lt;br /&gt;

They investigate the noise and spot a stranger sneaking around the village. Gunhild suggests he might be a thief or a scout for an enemy group. When he notices them, Olga suggests using the same tactic they used on the wolf, and together, they scream and attract the attention of the village warriors, who chase the intruder away.&lt;br /&gt;

However, she is attacked by one of her own warriors, who resents her leadership. Fleeing the attack, Olga finds herself in a labyrinth, which she believes to be Helheim, the land of the dead in Norse mythology. Just as she is about to be overwhelmed by familiars, Gunhild rescues her. Meanwhile, the members of Promised Blood debate whether to intervene in Olga&#039;s fate, as they suspect she may be destined to become a magical girl. Gunhild reveals to Olga that she became a magical girl after encountering Kyubey, the mysterious creature Olga mistook for a Fylgja. Gunhild explains that she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to form a warrior band led by Olga to help achieve her sister&#039;s dreams. She admits that she didn’t want Olga to become a magical girl because of the dangerous and endless cycle of fighting witches and consuming grief seeds to survive. Olga insists on becoming a magical girl to share the burden, however, Gunhild vehemently opposes this, even killing Kyubey to prevent Olga from making a contract. Gunhild compares the life of a magical girl to the eternal battles in Valhalla, and that her sacrifices will earn her a place there after death. Promised Blood debate whether to intervene, and Nemu explains that the Viking era, including warrior bands like Olga and Gunhild’s, will soon come to an end with the Battle of Stamford Bridge.

Olga is attacked by a witch and narrowly escapes with the help of Yuna and her companions, who intervene discreetly to protect her without revealing their identities. Harald&#039;s army continues to advance, and the sisters prepare for the next phase of the campaign. On September 25th, 1066, Harald&#039;s army is caught off guard by King Harold II&#039;s forces at Stamford Bridge. Gunhild, using her magical girl powers, sustains severe injuries but continues to fight, shocking Harald and his men with her unnatural resilience. Harald, terrified by Gunhild&#039;s seemingly cursed abilities, accuses her of being the source of their misfortune and orders his men to kill her. Gunhild, enraged by Harald&#039;s betrayal, turns on him, but her soul gem darkens quickly and she transforms into a witch. Olga is devastated, but Yuna&#039;s team intervene, pulling Olga away from the chaos. They explain that Gunhild has become a witch, and Olga is left to grapple with the outcome of her sister&#039;s sacrifices. Olga makes a contract with Kyubey, wishing for the power to send Gunhild to Valhalla. She transforms into a magical girl and eventually defeats Gunhild&#039;s witch. Promised Blood reflects on the events, realizing that Olga was the magical girl Iroha had been observing.

*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 1:&#039;&#039;&#039; Lavi, Alexandra and Urara arrive in 13th-century Tibet, seeking the Rakshasi, a figure who will end the war between Tibet and Mongolia and bring peace. Lavi discovers that the nunnery is training young girls to become Rakshasi, with Heruka being a key figure. Dolma, the leader of the nunnery, reveals that they exiled the adults who tried to stop the Rakshasi ceremony, as they believed in fighting the Mongols. Meanwhile, Alexandra and Urara pose as performers and are captured by the Mongol leader, Dolo&#039;adai, who plans to use their powers against the convent. Lavi learns that the Rakshasi are magical girls chosen through a ritual with a mysterious figure named Lord Jataka, Kyubey. Lavi and Nemu discuss the discrepancies in history, noting that the nunnery&#039;s role and the existence of &amp;quot;junior nuns&amp;quot; are not part of the original historical record. They surmise that Heruka is likely the Rakshasi mentioned in history and Lavi decides not to interfere with Heruka&#039;s fate, as it would alter history. A Mongolian soldier is captured after attempting to poison the nunnery&#039;s well. Heruka interrogates him, as she can speak Mongolian, revealing that the Mongols believe the Rakshasi attacked them first, which lead to their invasion. Heruka is shaken by the accusations but keeps the details from Dolma. Lavi learns that another junior nun who speaks Mongolian, likely Alexandra or Urara, is with the Mongols. Accompanied by Heruka, Lavi reunites with Alexandra and Urara, where they discuss the historical discrepancies and the possibility of a witch influencing events. Nemu suggests they may need to intervene to ensure the Rakshasi ends the war as history dictates. Alexandra and Urara decide to stay with the Mongols to gather intelligence, while Lavi and Heruka return to the nunnery through a hidden entrance to prepare for the impending attack. The Mongols discover the hidden entrance to the town and plan to use it to launch a surprise attack. They set a trap, using false information to lure the nunnery&#039;s defenders into an ambush. Alexandra and Urara learn of the impending attack and reveal that the Mongols&#039; plan, but Heruka deduces that the attack will likely be a night raid, not at dawn as initially suggested. She prepares the nunnery for an ambush, evacuating the townsfolk and organizing a counterattack. The nunnery&#039;s defenders, led by Heruka and Lavi, successfully ambush the Mongols, but the Mongols use a feigned retreat to lure them into a trap and successfully counterattack. The town is set ablaze and Lavi stays behind to hold off the Mongols while the others retreat. Heruka is overwhelmed by guilt, believing her actions led to the town&#039;s destruction. She asks the villagers to restrain Dolma so she can fulfill her role as a Rakshasi. Heruka then encounters Kyubey, who offers her a contract to become a magical girl. Heruka accepts, wishing to erase the memory of the Rakshasi from everyone&#039;s minds to end the war. Heruka&#039;s wish changes history, erasing the memory of the Rakshasi, even among the Folklore of Zero, and altering the perception of the nunnery. The Mongols withdraw, and the war comes to a ceasefire. Heruka spreads the ashes of her loved ones, symbolizing their return to the earth, and embraces her role as a Rakshasi. After the nunnery is restored, Dolma decides to leave and join the Order of the White Hill to seek support for the nunnery. She and Heruka share a heartfelt farewell, with Heruka giving Dolma a manuscript to help her learn Mongolian. &lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 2:&#039;&#039;&#039; Heruka, now seen as a savior by her followers, confronts Mongolian soldiers. Despite being shot with arrows, she remains unharmed, which the soldiers interpret as a miracle. Many Mongols abandon their weapons and convert to her faith, believing she is an incarnation of the Buddha as her magic pacifies people&#039;s hearts. Heruka’s influence grows, and she continues to spread her teachings, aiming to bring peace and Shambhala to the world. Meanwhile, the Mongolian commander, Dolo&#039;adai, is ordered to destroy Heruka’s followers, but his soldiers are reluctant, fearing divine punishment. Lavi, Alexandra, and Urara observe Heruka’s growing influence and success in stopping the war. The group decides to investigate further by studying religious texts to understand Heruka’s role and the concept of the Rakshasi. Dolma, now part of the Order of the White Hill, successfully negotiates support for the nunnery from the temple’s head priest. Lavi, Nemu, and Urara are studying a palm-leaf manuscript about Tibet’s history, which mentions the Rakshasi. They discuss the possibility of it being a mythological account of Tibet’s founding, as they&#039;ve forgotten about the Rakshasi due to Heruka&#039;s wish. Meanwhile, Heruka arrives and informs them that the Mongolian Army has attacked their village and others, resuming their invasion. Survivors beg for vengeance against the Mongols and a wounded Mongolian soldier reveals that the general has allied with the Rakshasi, and Heruka comforts him as he dies. The group learns that the Mongols plan to continue their attacks, exhausting them. Later, Deki, another girl at the nunnery, informs Heruka that Dolma has been caught in the fighting as a mediator between Heruka and the Order of the White Hill, who seek peace with the Mongols. Returning to her village, she finds it destroyed by the Mongols. The villagers, who revere Heruka as their savior, refuse to accept peace with the Mongols. Dolma is attacked by Mongolian soldiers but escapes and reunites with Heruka. Heruka meets with former Lamas and nunnery priests, and proposes a decisive battle against the Mongols and enlists their help. Dolma convinces the Temple Head Priest to support the plan, believing in Heruka’s miracle. Meanwhile, the Mongolian general, Dolo&#039;adai, prepares for the final battle and agrees to meet Heruka’s group on Mongolian soil. Heruka shares a childhood story about her grandmother, who made her believe butter tea was sweet. Heruka and her group arrive in Mongolia after days of travel. Dolma insists on being the interpreter, but it’s revealed that everyone, including the Temple Head Priest, understands Mongolian. They are led to a location resembling a Tibetan monastery, where General Dolo&#039;adai awaits. Heruka and Dolo&#039;adai exchange tense words, and Heruka reveals her plan to end the fighting by becoming a Mongolian officer. Heruka shocks her followers by claiming to betray them, offering them to the Mongols as a &amp;quot;gift.&amp;quot; She insults her companions and declares herself a Rakshasi. Heruka’s followers and the Mongols are horrified, and the Temple Head Priest accuses her of being a fraud. Dolma defends Heruka, but Heruka continues to play the villain, claiming she manipulated everyone for her own gain. She even accuses herself of killing Dolma’s family and others in their hometown. The Mongols, convinced of her evil nature, prepare to execute her. Heruka’s followers turn against her, and she is taken away. Heruka’s former Lama testifies against her, but Dolma tries to defend Heruka, who continues to play the villain. She reveals her plan to lure out the witch, the source of hatred and conflict, by creating a situation filled with hatred. Heruka is condemned as a Rakshasi, and the Mongols prepare to execute her. Heruka confronts the witch and uses her magic to put everyone to sleep, but Lavi resists and follows her. Heruka confronts the witch, realizing her magic is being canceled out by the witch’s power of hatred. Despite being at a disadvantage in a direct fight, Lavi and the others arrive to help, revealing they resisted Heruka’s magic because they wanted to protect her. Together, they manage to defeat the witch, but Heruka’s magic weakens, and the people, now awake, turn against her, throwing rocks and calling her a monster. Dolma defends Heruka and they flee together. Lavi and the others hold off the Mongols, allowing Dolma and Heruka to escape until they reach a flower of blue poppies. After Heruka’s execution, Dolma struggles with grief and anger, but Lavi encourages her to record the truth about Heruka, ensuring her legacy is preserved. Dolma travels to Mongolia, helping to spread a new script while secretly inscribing the truth about Heruka in monuments. She reflects on Heruka’s sacrifice and the blue flowers that symbolize her hope. &lt;br /&gt;

: The [[Timeline (Historical)]] is meant to have the original historical records of the events that happened. Puella Historia has the members of the cast change the past, so while it might not belong in [[Timelines]], it&#039;s not for Historical either. Would you agree to placing it in [[Magia Record Timeline]] and the game section of [[Timelines]] to just direct to it? [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 12:45, 2 March 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:: The page has a section for the Magia Record timeline too. Also, how do we know they change the past? I&#039;m not aware of any reason to believe that either the Tart events or the Puella Historia events result in changing the past. I haven&#039;t watched the Puella Historia finale mind you, so perhaps there&#039;s something there, but if you&#039;re merely &#039;&#039;assuming&#039;&#039; they change the past then I don&#039;t think that&#039;s a good assumption. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 14:32, 2 March 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::: I meant the history before the Kamihama gangs went back in time. For example, originally, the Tart stuff goes exactly as in the manga, then Iroha, Yachiyo and Ui go to the past and make some changes, even if just in Tart&#039;s dream. Another example would be how Toyo had no friends until KaMoRe came from the future. The end result is mostly similar, but the original Toyo never met anyone named Rena Minami. Historical should be for the events without involving time travel, while other articles which include the present should tell of the time travel stuff, because it starts in the present (like Present-day Kamihama for Puella Historia), they go back in time (like Mirage of Alexandria, make some minute changes, usually preventing 10^-43 from messing things up), then they go back to the present. It&#039;s why I didn&#039;t bring the Historia MSS stories that didn&#039;t involve the girls from Kamihama to [[Timelines]] but added them as references in Historical. The people from the present didn&#039;t affect Ebony&#039;s MSS since it happened before the Tokime arrived to Alexandria. I intend to put the other events of the recent past in Kamihama to the Historical Magia Record section too, unless they involve any time travel. This would also be easier since Historical overall has less detail than I&#039;ve put into my draft of events.

&lt;br /&gt;
:::: Okay, so it seems our disagreement can basically be traced back to a disagreement on what it really means to travel back in time. There seems to be an implicit assumption that Homura&#039;s form of time travel is the only form that exists, yet Amaryllis directly proves otherwise – her time travel method is very different. That already shows that there are multiple forms of time travel in the setting. That in turn implies that there&#039;s no guarantee that any two instances of time travel have properties in common. So, when analyzing time travel, we should avoid making assumptions. And it should be acknowledged that applying &amp;quot;common sense&amp;quot; to time travel just doesn&#039;t work. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 08:13, 3 March 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::: Yeah, Tart events always played weirdly with the rules. Amaryllis&#039; time travel is the most conventional, Iroha also did it once with that leaf in the Arc 2 finale. Homura supposedly goes back in time AND switches realities (Guitarist Kyosuke timeline). Mirrors time travel is weird because, the moment the mirror they traveled from shatters, the people traveling through it go back to where hey came from. Don&#039;t even get me started with Null Magica. Mikoto&#039;s was the only one that was said to bring paradoxes and potentially destroy the world, but it&#039;s ultimately unconfirmed. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 10:15, 3 March 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::: There is no such thing as &amp;quot;conventional&amp;quot; in time travel. The &amp;quot;switches realities&amp;quot; theory for Homura&#039;s time travel doesn&#039;t seem to be canon – Homura Tamura rolls it up to ridiculous, but there is nothing whatsoever in the show to support it (guitarist Kyosuke is &#039;&#039;clearly not&#039;&#039; canon). From what we &#039;&#039;actually see&#039;&#039;, her time travel is something like &amp;quot;stuffing her future soul into her past body&amp;quot;. Amaryllis&#039;s time travel is the closest we get to a &amp;quot;wormhole&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;portal&amp;quot;, where two versions of Amaryllis exist simultaneously. I think the only thing we can really conclude is that there are no rules for time travel in the setting – each time traveller has her own rules. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:34, 4 March 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::: I hate to bring up old points again, especially since the matter for which this discussion started has been settled, but if Guitarist Kyosuke can&#039;t be taken as canon, since the information comes from a witch card, then what about Cleopatra and Himiko? Why are the production notes of Cleopatra and Himiko from episode 11 taken as canon proof they&#039;re magical girls, and the Historia versions of them are taken as a separate universe? From what we saw, we never got confirmation that that was Cleopatra or Himiko except runes of their names and production notes saying they were. Toyo&#039;s event even had a cop-out with justifying that the japanese girl from episode 12 was Himiko&#039;s shrine maiden. I don&#039;t even think we saw Cleopatra&#039;s soul gem, and it&#039;s not like Tart (from episode 12) where it&#039;s so specific and has hard evidence that it&#039;s Jeanne of Arc as a magical girl. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 09:49, 4 March 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::: The identity of Cleopatra does not depend on any production notes. The scenes showing her in the anime are very clearly her. I don&#039;t know whether or not the same applies to Himiko, but I would say runes of their names are sufficient as evidence to their canon identity. I&#039;m not sure if there&#039;s direct evidence in the anime that Cleopatra was a magical girl, though – it&#039;s possible it&#039;s merely inferred from the fact that all the &#039;&#039;other&#039;&#039; historical characters depicted are magical girls. She &#039;&#039;is&#039;&#039; clasping something to her chest that could be a soul gem, but unlike with Tart, we can&#039;t see any evidence that it &#039;&#039;is&#039;&#039;. But the main point here is that their identity is clear enough from the anime without resorting to production notes. This is &#039;&#039;definitely&#039;&#039; true for Cleopatra at least. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:14, 5 March 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::: Now, I am not aware of any reason to believe that &amp;quot;the history before the Kamihama gangs went back in time&amp;quot; is something that exists. It&#039;s quite within reason to believe that they went back in time because they went back in time. Time travel messes up causality, after all. I am not aware of any convincing evidence that Yachiyo and Ui &amp;quot;make some changes&amp;quot; to the past. Indeed, the Maiden of Hope explicitly questions this theory – it points out that the fact of &amp;quot;Tart remembered Yachiyo and Iroha&amp;quot; may have been true already before they went back, and they just didn&#039;t know. It also points out that the sweet dreams charm with the red and blue candles has no origin – Melissa learned it from Iroha, and then Melissa passed it down through history until Iroha learned it. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 08:13, 3 March 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::: I actually agree with that. However, I think historical should have the barebones of the story, like &amp;quot;Cleopatra dies,&amp;quot; since it&#039;s ultimately unconfirmed whether they were always meant to be there. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 10:15, 3 March 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::: So unless we can find references to &#039;&#039;strongly support&#039;&#039; the idea that history was changed (such as an actual non-speculative statement in the game itself about what the history was like &amp;quot;before the change&amp;quot;), then I think it&#039;s simpler to assume it wasn&#039;t. Based on that premise, they didn&#039;t go back in time and change history – they went back in time so that they could replicate the true history that led to their present day. I doubt either version of the theory is strongly-supported by the evidence, mind you, but without explicit data on &amp;quot;pre-change&amp;quot; histories, anything you put there would be speculation. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 08:13, 3 March 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::  An argument I could make to say that they weren&#039;t always meant to go to the past is that Mikoto, having seen the past, didn&#039;t comment on the Kamihama girls being there or change her mind by saying &amp;quot;well at some point I agree with them so why prolong the inevitable&amp;quot;. The Pillar of Tomorrow has her talk with Iroha about how she&#039;s satisfied with Iroha now after she&#039;s done with her work.

::::: Ultimately, can we agree to not put any time travel in Historical? I feel like Timelines is the exact place for time travel shenanigans? [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 10:15, 3 March 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::: I wouldn&#039;t say it&#039;s the place for &amp;quot;time travel shenanigans&amp;quot;. It started out as an analysis of timelines formed specifically from Homura&#039;s actions, not timelines in general. It would certainly make sense to briefly cover the Historia and Tart time travel situations in [[Timelines]], but I&#039;d say that should slot in from the future perspective, rather than in a &amp;quot;historical&amp;quot; section. In other words, it&#039;s mentioned at the point when they travel back in time, rather than having a section to itself in the past. But giving a full summary of the event would probably be too cluttered, I think.&lt;br /&gt;
:::::: I think the main detail of the Puella Historia stories &#039;&#039;definitely&#039;&#039; belongs in [[Timeline (Historical)]], though if you &#039;&#039;really&#039;&#039; want to phrase that summary to avoid mentioning the time travellers, I guess it wouldn&#039;t hurt. From the context of the Historia series, the goal is to &amp;quot;prevent the past from changing&amp;quot;, so I think it&#039;s most reasonable to conclude that the time travellers (including the Witch of Symbols) had only very minor net effects on the past events. And the History A vs History B of Amaryllis&#039;s story also belongs there, in my opinion. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:34, 4 March 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

== Too Many Files ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why are you uploading the entire UI of Magia Record? We don&#039;t need most of those files. The backgrounds and the item icons are fine in theory, though I think about half of them are duplicates. Most of the rest is useless. There are probably a few exceptions, but we definitely don&#039;t need stuff like bits of buttons that are cut up so the button can be made any width desired. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:11, 28 May 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
: Sorry, I&#039;m done with the files now. I thought it would be better to have them than not have them, especially since a lot of backgrounds are missing from where they should be. I&#039;m done with bulk files for now, at most I will upload a few files for magia record event galleries.[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 20:14, 28 May 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:: I don&#039;t think there&#039;s any worth in having the buttons that you click on in the game, unless there&#039;s some nice picture on it. I haven&#039;t gone through your list in detail yet, but I&#039;m probably going to delete about 1/4 of the ones that aren&#039;t backgrounds when I find time. And there&#039;s &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;definitely&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; no worth in having the numbers in a special font. It&#039;s nice that you&#039;re helping by uploading missing stuff, but in future please do triage &#039;&#039;before&#039;&#039; uploading, not after. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:23, 28 May 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

::::Looks like I was right about duplicates. I found at least one case where the same files were uploaded under different names, on [[Mikazuki Villa]]. I think you&#039;d find most of them if you go through all the backgrounds and file them into appropriate articles – the duplicate would already be there in most cases. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:33, 29 May 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

:* Deleted the duplicate icon images and categorized the rest in [[:Category:Magia Record Item Icons]] (fortunately the wiki identified these duplicates for me). If you know anything about those icons, you can add their info to [[Magia Record Items]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Why are Riz&#039;s former companions on this category? I can see why those contracted by Isabeau, but they were contracted by Kyubey.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Labyrinth Spaces ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Homura was able to enhance one of her rooms to turn it into a white room with floating graphics about Walpurgisnacht through this, and this application of magic seems to do little more than create a small pocket dimension for extra space and visuals.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where is the justification for this? It sounds like more of a fan theory than established fact to me (in which case it should use the speculation templates), but it&#039;s possible I&#039;m missing something.  ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:54, 21 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Common Abilities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While I&#039;m on the topic of possible fan theories, it strikes me as varying levels of questionable to include the following in &amp;quot;common abilities&amp;quot;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Storage/Hammerspace: I can maybe see justification for this in the robes of the Wings of the Magius or Elisa&#039;s weapon (which was created by Pernelle, so it&#039;s not the magically-summoned weapon that many girls use). But even then, I&#039;m not sure we have sufficient evidence to say that that&#039;s an ability of the girl, rather than an ability of the robes or the weapon. Also, when it comes to the robes, there&#039;s some evidence that they &#039;&#039;don&#039;t&#039;&#039; get stored in any kind of hammerspace.&lt;br /&gt;
* Energy Blasts: If this was such an easy ability to learn, how are there so many magical girls that have no way to attack?&lt;br /&gt;
* Summon Barriers: This is kind of unclear. It seems to be fairly common for magical girls to learn barrier-like defensive abilities (both Mami and Kyoko did) but I don&#039;t see the justification for calling the ability &amp;quot;common to all magical girls&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
* Clones: Very few magical girls have been demonstrated to use clones, so it seems very far-fetched to call it &amp;quot;common to all magical girls&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
* Teleportation: As above – teleportation actually seems to be a very rare ability as far as I can tell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It would be less of an issue if the section was &amp;quot;abilities that many magical girls learn&amp;quot; rather than &amp;quot;abilities that all magical girls possess&amp;quot;. But other entries in the section clearly &#039;&#039;are&#039;&#039; abilities that all possess. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:54, 21 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Got a couple more to add:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Conjuration: I&#039;m not aware of any concrete examples of magical girls conjuring random items. The most notable example, Mami&#039;s muskets, is actually a counter-example – she built those muskets from her ribbons. And if she can build a musket from ribbons, she can probably build a teacup too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Containers: I&#039;m only aware of two magical girls (Mitama and Niko Kanna) who&#039;ve created containers (ignoring Alina and her little green cubes, as that&#039;s explicitly her unique power). Thus, it seems to me that this should be mentioned as powers of those two girls, rather than in common powers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:28, 21 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Bulk Explanation==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ll give the explanations for each of them. How I justify all of it is that if many girls have the same ability, which is nt their unique ability, then it can be learned to some extent. Maybe there should be a new section for &amp;quot;Learnable Abilities&amp;quot;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Labyrinth Spaces: Homura&#039;s room did have magic added to it. I called it a labyrinth space because it shifts to Homura&#039;s emotions and memories when she hugs Madoka. But that may be non-diegetic. However, Madoka also saw the murals of Walpurgisnacht and asking her about it. Homura couldn&#039;t have possibly had that room on her own, so it seems reasonable to be a common application of magic. My logic is that if a power isn&#039;t classified as unique to the girl, then it&#039;s something learnable. In one of the Tart events, Minou had also added enchantments and stuff to the space around her territory, but it wasn&#039;t clear what she&#039;d done. In Kazumi, several characters (like Umika, Niko and Kazumi) did it in various ways, and not just inside the freezer, but that&#039;s where it was most common.&lt;br /&gt;
* Storage/Hammerspace: Many girls just kind of pull small stuff out of nowhere, but the clearest example of the summoning thing for the storage is when Matsuri pulled out a grief seed from a magical sigil. It is possible the Feathers&#039; robes have the power to store them, but at the very least, Iroha, Kuroe and Matsuri have all stored small objects somewhere on their person (usually just grief seeds, but it still counts). Elisa and Tart&#039;s weapons are also proof of this, as well as the obvious Homura shield.&lt;br /&gt;
* Energy Blasts: The Feathers attack Eve en mass during the AniReco finale. Feathers are also generally weak, plus Homura also used the same technique, same with Kyoko in AniReco. It stands to reason that it takes a bit of training.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summon Barriers: It was already there when I got to the article, but it is a normal application of magic which has been done many times. Natsuki deliberately learned it, and as you said, Kyoko and Mami also did it. Yuuri did the same thing too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Clones: Mami and Kanae are obvious, but it&#039;s clearly a learned ability that the girls can learn since Kanae and Mami are both different, plus these clones were clearly different from Kyoko&#039;s phantom clone ability.&lt;br /&gt;
* Teleportation: If you look at the battle animations, many girls are able to use it in short bursts. And since Suzune was able to learn it with her fire magic, as well as so many battle and magia animations, it seems to be a learnable thing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ll add and split these and others into &amp;quot;abilities that magical girls can learn&amp;quot; or something along those linesas you say.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: I have quite a lot to say here, so I&#039;m going to split my response up into one spoilerbox per entry. Suffice to say though that I&#039;m not convinced by your arguments. Most of them seem to be full of holes. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Homura&#039;s room did have magic added to it.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;This is what we&#039;re trying to determine, so it&#039;s not part of the argument.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;I called it a labyrinth space because it shifts to Homura&#039;s emotions and memories when she hugs Madoka.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;I&#039;ll assume that &amp;quot;it shifts when she hugs Madoka&amp;quot; is a fact. What makes you believe that the shift is in response to Homura&#039;s emotions? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
: Labyrinths shifting to memories and emotions is a thing that happens. It&#039;s unknown if it is diegetic, but there&#039;s a difference when emotional moments happen in the normal world, and when they happen in labyrinths.&lt;br /&gt;
:: It&#039;s just like what happens in the labyrinth of Charlotte in episode 3 (when Mami cries to Madoka and the scenery changes in response to Mami&#039;s emotions, being bright when she feels relieved)&lt;br /&gt;
:: The labyrinth of HN Elly in episode 4 (Madoka&#039;s memories are on display on the TVs)&lt;br /&gt;
:: Oktavia&#039;s labyrinth also shows memories (of Sayaka and Kyoko when Kyoko and Madoka enter the long aquarium walls)&lt;br /&gt;
:: Since Rebellion takes place in a labyrinth, this happens way more, like when Homura and Kyoko walk without the bus, the big tvs behind Mami and Homura showing Charlotte, the flowers responding to Homura and Madoka on the field. (It also happens more than normal, because Homura&#039;s the witch, so I can understand that this is a non-normal case)&lt;br /&gt;
:: Bottom line, the direction of art for when something emotional happens in a labyrinth, or labyrinth-like space, is different from when they&#039;re in the real world, as compared to labyrinths, especially with the memories being reflected on surfaces, which is what happens in Homura&#039;s white room when she cries and hugs Madoka. The memories may be non-diegetic, but the change of lighting and scenery is still something that only happens in Labyrinths, including the pendulum room. &lt;br /&gt;

:::You have completely missed the point. I&#039;m arguing that I don&#039;t think there&#039;s evidence of it being a labyrinth at all, so pointing out all the places where labyrinths change based on someone&#039;s emotions doesn&#039;t help your argument in the slightest. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:39, 22 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;However, Madoka also saw the murals of Walpurgisnacht and asking her about it.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;A character asking about it doesn&#039;t prove anything. Homura&#039;s response theoretically could, but I don&#039;t recall her saying anything relevant in the scene I think you&#039;re referring to. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Homura couldn&#039;t have possibly had that room on her own,&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;This doesn&#039;t seem to be a reasonable initial assumption. I don&#039;t think anything was ever said about it directly, and it seems quite plausible to me for it to be something like a &amp;quot;video wall&amp;quot;, or perhaps some form of video projection. In other words, the wall can be explained by technology, so bringing in magic as an explanation isn&#039;t necessary. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
: I can understand this being a technological room (maybe Homura stole some money or equipment), but nothing hinted at that, plus looking at the other room in Homura&#039;s apartment (the one where she googled &#039;how to make a bomb&#039; in episode 10) it&#039;s very different. Additionally, the room&#039;s layout reflects a clock with the seats, there&#039;s an invisible pendulum being swung around whose shadow we see all the time. This doesn&#039;t seem like a normal room, is what I&#039;m trying to say. I get that the technology in the show is advanced, but for a student to just have a white empty room taking up more than one floor is very unlikely. But it is ultimately possible. It just doesn&#039;t seem outside the realm of possibility for an experienced Magical Girl to learn to use aspects of her witch, especially since a lot of magic takes the look of those INU Curry assets (even when used by magical girls). Additionally, this is confirmed by Episode 10 when Homura&#039;s making the bomb that this is her apartment where she stayed after getting out of the hospital, she didn&#039;t go to a different one after the second timeline.&lt;br /&gt;

::I don&#039;t know why you&#039;re assuming Homura stole something. As far as I know, we don&#039;t have any evidence to suggest that Homura can&#039;t afford expensive equipment. (We also have no evidence to suggest that she &#039;&#039;can&#039;&#039; though, unless you count this room itself as evidence.) Furthermore, I&#039;m not aware of any evidence that suggests the room was built by Homura – it could&#039;ve easily been already there in her home, set up by her parents at some time in the past. I can see that some of your other arguments here are reasonable arguments for it maybe being magical though. I think it&#039;s reasonable to say that it &#039;&#039;might&#039;&#039; be magical and it might not be and we just don&#039;t have enough information to be sure either way. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:39, 22 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In one of the Tart events, Minou had also added enchantments and stuff to the space around her territory, but it wasn&#039;t clear what she&#039;d done. In Kazumi, several characters (like Umika, Niko and Kazumi) did it in various ways, and not just inside the freezer, but that&#039;s where it was most common.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;I&#039;m honestly not sure what you&#039;re referring to here. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
: There&#039;s quite a few occasions where the Freezer has non-normal imagery in the back, again showing the emotions of the girls. However, with Kazumi&#039;s artstyle it&#039;s difficult to know what&#039;s real and what&#039;s in the character&#039;s minds.&lt;br /&gt;
: During the fight with Kazumi in the freezer, it also changes a lot, the space itself warps and the pillars move up and down in accordance to what the girls need (like when Mirai tries to save Saki). While this may be a technological feat, but they weren&#039;t using any device to make that happen, the pillars just knew how and when to make that happen. But again, the entrance to the Freezer itself was only opened to the saints&#039; gems, so isn&#039;t that an aspect of &amp;quot;enchanting the environment&amp;quot; through magic in and of itself? It just doesn&#039;t seem out of the realm of possibility to imbue magic into a room to make it completely white, or somewhat respondent to one&#039;s input.&lt;br /&gt;
: In the Tart event, I recall talks about how the quarters of Minou (or rather the castle, while they were trying to reach the bell) had magic throughout it, but Minou&#039;s special cuz she has benefitted from many contracts, and wedon&#039;t know what it was since it was just dialogue in the game. Ultimately, this is the weakest, but I thougt it&#039;s worth bringing up.&lt;br /&gt;

:: Regarding the Freezer, it sounds less likely to be technological than Homura&#039;s room, though it&#039;s still possible. On the other hand, from your description here, I wouldn&#039;t conclude it&#039;s a labyrinth barrier either. Perhaps it &#039;&#039;could&#039;&#039; be, but as you mention yourself, they might have simply enchanted the walls and the pillars. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:39, 22 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;My logic is that if a power isn&#039;t classified as unique to the girl, then it&#039;s something learnable.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;There is quite a gulf between &amp;quot;it&#039;s possible to learn this power&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;this is something that any girl can learn&amp;quot;. And prior to your recent edits (which I&#039;ve yet to look at), you were strongly implying the latter.&lt;br /&gt;

: For one, like when Iroha saved Yachiyo in episode 5, I can&#039;t see any pockets on her person, or most of the girls. But it&#039;s definitely possible. When Kuroe refused to give the grief seed to kuro in the flashback, she touches her pocket, but it&#039;s like how girls&#039; phones stay in their pocket when they&#039;re in civilian form, and then when they transform, they just temporarily disappear and it&#039;s not acknowledged.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The Feathers attack Eve en mass during the AniReco finale.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;Hmm, I suppose things that the feathers use can reasonably be extrapolated to &amp;quot;any magical girl can learn this&amp;quot;. But when exactly did they use energy blasts? My understanding is that the feathers attack by enchanting chains to move according to their will, making it essentially a form of telekinesis, as well as a specific application of enchantments.

: When Eve is bound, as well as flying overhead, the feathers and presumably many girls from Kamihama just shoot glowing projectiles at her. The chains were also just a weapon they could control, but the blasts of magic were done by so many girls that it seems safe to assume anyone can learn to do that.

Yuuri did the same thing too.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;The problem with this one is that all the girls who learn barriers have dramatically different barriers. Kyoko&#039;s barrier is made of criss-crossed chains, Mami&#039;s is made out of ribbons, and Yuuri&#039;s if I recall correctly was some kind of force shield.

:: Kyoko&#039;s barriers were made from chains, but in the magia record anime, she did also make a sort of protective bubble when helping Iroha. &lt;br /&gt;
:: Yuuri&#039;s was a force shield which damaged whoever got close, but we ultimately don&#039;t know what happens to those who would have touched Natsuki&#039;s, Mami&#039;s or Kyoko&#039;s barriers either.&lt;br /&gt;
:: Another case of this that I forgot to mention is Homura herself. When Oriko attacked the school, Homura created a shield around Madoka, which was similarly a bubble shape like Kyoko&#039;s (in anireco) and Mami&#039;s (in episode 3).&lt;br /&gt;

If you&#039;re judging from battle animations, there&#039;s no way to tell the difference between &amp;quot;teleported&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;moved too fast to see&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;And since Suzune was able to learn it with her fire magic,&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;This is the first I&#039;ve heard of Suzune having any kind of teleport magic. Are you talking about &amp;quot;Heat Haze&amp;quot;? I&#039;m pretty sure that&#039;s invisibility, not teleport. The name strongly implies as such as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;as well as so many battle and magia animations,&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;Again, judging teleportation from the animations is a huge stretch.&lt;br /&gt;

: Off the top of my head, here are the girls that clearly teleport (excluding special variants) :&lt;br /&gt;
:: Pernelle (that&#039;s like her whole thing, but it may be her special magic, so I&#039;ll continue with more examples, I also won&#039;t mention Minou for obvious reasons)&lt;br /&gt;
:: Suzune (her heat haze was explicitly clarified to be a teleportation or escape spell in Suzune event 1 and 2. In the ladder, she randomly ended up near Aimi (I think it was Aimi but it might&#039;ve been another girl) and Suzune herself was surprised)&lt;br /&gt;
:: Anime Mifuyu (it can&#039;t be her hallucinations, since she left Kuroe behind in season 2 episode 2.)&lt;br /&gt;
:: Amaryllis (she literally made a portal and threw herself through it while encased in her giant dice cube)&lt;br /&gt;
:: Alexandra in her animations does it by playing her harp.&lt;br /&gt;
:: Yuna&#039;s is unclear on whether it was speed or teleporting to me, but I&#039;ll leave it as a probably not.&lt;br /&gt;
:: It&#039;s unclear if Shigure&#039;s magia had teleportation or the fast movement as you said, but she&#039;s never been shown to be that fast in the story. However, I&#039;ll still have this as a no.&lt;br /&gt;
::: I think we can trust the animations too, since Himena was flying through the sky in chapter 12, unless you watch her magia, you wouldn&#039;t know how she did that.&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:06, 22 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::: This is a very strange list, because it contains girls who clearly can&#039;t teleport and also doesn&#039;t contain girls who clearly can. I took a look at some of the animations, but I really think they can&#039;t be trusted to give an accurate representation of the girl&#039;s abilities. You&#039;re missing at least Shizuku, Leila, and Coeurl. Anyway, that aside…&lt;br /&gt;
:::::Suzune: I have no idea what you mean with &amp;quot;in the ladder&amp;quot;. I don&#039;t recall a case where she ended up surprised after using Heat Haze to get away, but that in and of itself doesn&#039;t prove it to be teleportation. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:39, 22 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::Mifuyu: I don&#039;t see how leaving Kuroe behind proves it&#039;s not her hallucinations. Maybe she &#039;&#039;chose&#039;&#039; to leave Kuroe behind. Or maybe Kuroe chose not to follow her. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:39, 22 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::Amaryllis: I don&#039;t remember this (maybe it was in Pillar of Eternity that I haven&#039;t watched yet?) but it sounds like unambiguously teleporting, so I&#039;ll accept that one.&lt;br /&gt;
:::::Alexandra, Yuna, Shigure: These are judged from the animations, where you can&#039;t trust the concept of space at all. Appearing right in front of the enemy doesn&#039;t necessarily mean they teleported there – the grid-based battlefield is not an accurate representation of each girl&#039;s location, so you could easily judge that they and the enemy being targeted just happened to be face-to-face at that moment. I do agree that all three magia animations can easily be interpreted as teleportation, though I&#039;d say Yuna and Shigure give more of a &amp;quot;moved very fast&amp;quot; impression, but it&#039;s only weak evidence that they might be able to teleport. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:39, 22 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::: Some of these are debatable, (especially Mifuyu and Suzune) but I&#039;ll relent since it doesn&#039;t seem common enough. Plus Hikaru and Yuna both learned new abilities because of their personal magics, but they&#039;re just heat resistance and making minions, both very unique and unrelated. Plus Ria predicted the future once, so I ultimately don&#039;t think it matters. What they can learn seems pretty subjective to the specific girl in most cases.

== Scene 0 ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would say that Scene 0 does not have any map. None of the files you uploaded for it give any indication of what it would actually look like in-game, because all those elements are layered together with parallax to produce the final effect. It &#039;&#039;may&#039;&#039; be worth posting screenshots of Scene 0 from in-game, to show the final look, but the individual elements that make it up (other than ones that have actual content) don&#039;t belong on the wiki. We want to show what the game looks like, not rip all the assets and distribute them. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 22:14, 27 July 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

Just a minor note, but when moving text from one section to another, I&#039;d suggest using the edit link at the top of the page rather than making two section edits, so that the add and remove can be seen as a single edit.

Could you upload all of the Exedra Event banners? I&#039;ve changed [[Magia Exedra Events]] to use the portraits as the event images, but I think these banners would fit way better, right now we only have the banner for the first part of Crescent Memoria. (While you&#039;re at it pls upload the Serene Symbiosis portrait from the Doppel Mami event, I uploaded it but since I just grabbed it off of the Exedra wiki it has a different file name than the others, so pls upload it with the correct file name) - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 10:39, 27 May 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

I remember you uploading the texture of one of the Scene 0 windows (deleted now), so I know they&#039;re &#039;&#039;somewhere&#039;&#039;, I wanna try(?) arranging them so that we can have them with transparent backgrounds (since its just me arranging textures off of screenshots it won&#039;t be very accurate, but if this is our only way of getting them now, I wanna do it). - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 15:22, 4 June 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

I just remembered something I wanted to also ask for- When Witches are in Score Attacks, their Witch Kiss is displayed in the Score Attack menu, and I know that when Uwasa are Score Attack bosses Uwasa-san&#039;s face is displayed there. I know that the &amp;quot;emblem&amp;quot; files are tied to the Chamber of Light, and that the Uwasa don&#039;t have Uwasa-san&#039;s face there, so is there a way to get that file of somehow? It would be a nice addition to the Enemy pages. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 18:08, 4 June 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

: I found these (I couldn&#039;t find the third Uwasa icon, I looked everywhere it&#039;s just nonexistent). I&#039;ll look for the score attack stuff in the meantime, though if I could get the file names for anything in score attack that has been uploaded, it will be easier.

::Seems like it&#039;d be possible, but it might be a little difficult to erase the line down the centre... does Corbeau not have a witch kiss elsewhere, like from the Score Attack?

&lt;br /&gt;
Putting this here cause idk if you&#039;re caught up on the timelines talk page, the list is &amp;quot;done&amp;quot;. We agreed to just fuse Darc into Historical, same for Kazumi and Suzune into the &amp;quot;prelude&amp;quot; of the timelines. We also agreed that if any of them are big enough they could deserve their own pages, but not right now. We don&#039;t really know what to do with the Kirara Magica stuff as we decided that Other/Alt doesnt really have a reason to exist when Magia Exedra/Other does, Celtic said that they would rather decide after the articles are made. The last thing is that the nightmare stories from Exedra should go into either Original/Other or Magia Record/Other depending on where they happen, as they&#039;re &amp;quot;posibilities&amp;quot;, which yeah means theyre not really canon but they still fit into those universes, as theyre posibilities. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 19:34, 28 June 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

::::::::::- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 07:01, 1 July 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::: Okay, I undeleted the ones you listed. If I understand correctly, the three you&#039;ve listed as &amp;quot;either move or undelete&amp;quot; are cases where big articles were split in half. Am I right on this point? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 14:20, 1 July 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::::::: Yes, you still have to move Timeline/Original and Timeline/Miscellaneous, idk how it works but if you can, undelete the versions you deleted of [[Timeline/Original]] and [[Timeline/Other]] (after moving). - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 15:07, 1 July 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::::: That&#039;s done. I assume some things need to be deleted from the moved pages… anything else? I did restore some content onto a few other pages as well (and am still slowly working through that). ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 15:37, 1 July 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::::::::: There&#039;s still pages to delete - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 15:42, 1 July 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::::::* [[Timeline/Original/Different Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::::::* [[Timeline/Law of Cycles/Wraith Arc]]&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::::::* [[Timeline/Original/Oriko]]&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::::::: Also Timeline/Original was different as I recall. Specifically in its split &amp;amp; parallel timelines section. As it is now it&#039;s inaccurate to the current setup. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 15:49, 1 July 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::::::::::Done. I can see there are still some differences between the current [[Timeline]] page and the previous revision, so I&#039;ll dump that at [[User:Sweet Beanie/Timeline]] since I&#039;m not sure which version is better. As for &amp;lt;s&amp;gt;Timeline/Original&amp;lt;/s&amp;gt;, it looks like it&#039;s mostly just reordered, but I&#039;ll take another look at it. Are there any other pages with missing parts that I should look up? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 15:52, 1 July 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::::::::::: Other than that, it seems fine. Thank you ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 15:55, 1 July 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::::::::Timeline/Original wasn&#039;t the one I was thinking of that seemed reordered. It was Timeline/Original/Other. Timeline/Original was directly undeleted after renaming the previous revision to Timeline/Original/Historical, so it should be exactly the same; and if there&#039;s something missing it would be in Historical. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 15:58, 1 July 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::: Yeah, no. I did everything right for the splits and the content changes, though I&#039;ll grant I should have used Move for the simple renames, they&#039;d still be too few. No, most of the pages couldn&#039;t have used the MOVE function since they needed to be split, changed and sorted again, reference tables needed to be created, links needed to be fixed, navigation tables, I found a couple of typos, etc. You&#039;d see the information wasn&#039;t the exact same if you took the time to look through them. Even through the numbers in the recent changes page, you could see that what was added from one article was different from what was removed from another article. I worked for more than 3 hours yesterday to make sure they were all corrected, now I can&#039;t even see what I did since they&#039;re entirely deleted. Not to mention the big mess that will need to be fixed now that the Arc 2 reference links are shortened. Was your plan to have me do them again but this time use the move function and have the end result be the exact same, or did you genuinely not look through them? Return my articles to how I left them yesterday. It&#039;s absolutely disheartening to see something you did out of pure passion and love for a piece of media to be deleted and then be told to do it again. I wanted the information archived and available for the public so they can understand the franchise better and now it&#039;s entirely gone. Return the articles to how I left them yesterday, because I&#039;m not doing this again. I don&#039;t even know where I&#039;d find the original files and writing I used anymore and I&#039;m not gonna go look. You could have literally waited a bit, asked, commented them out, or anything other than delete them entirely. Undelete them. Thank you in advance. I&#039;ll be back when I see them restored, or at least backed up somewhere where I can access them so I can use that much beloved Move function properly. Have a good day. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 10:40, 1 July 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::::Okay I did all I could, Im pretty sure the pages look &#039;&#039;almost&#039;&#039; identical to the originals, but obv that cant be 100%. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 15:42, 1 July 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::::: I&#039;m confused as to why they couldn&#039;t just be restored or backed up somewhere. Celtic has access to them, no? ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 15:50, 1 July 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

== Timeline Pages Question ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think some of the placements on the Magia Record timeline pages are wrong (though not as much as there used to be), am i allowed to just edit them or would the changes have to go through you first, just want to make sure ~ [[User:KyoSayaRulzRB|KyoSayaRulzRB]] ([[User talk:KyoSayaRulzRB|talk]])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Yeah of course. I don&#039;t mean to hog the pages by any means and I appreciate people contributing to it. &lt;br /&gt;
: For Arc 1: The general method of organization on the pages are that if any events, like let&#039;s say the hypothetical Evil Sana Event to have an example, happen during the intermediate period where Mikazuki is together, but the Magius still exist, they&#039;re positioned by a general sense of time compared to the seasonal events, as well as other events that are close to them in order of release. Same things apply for Post-Arc 1. Since we don&#039;t know when they happen in relation to other events, their sections have the event names for that reason. I&#039;ll get to it eventually but every header will say something about it, like: &amp;quot;this event takes place at a point after Sana had very recently joined the Mikazuki Villa&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;This event was released after the Evil Felicia Event and the Evil Rena Event, thus it has been positioned between them here.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
: In general just keep watch for &lt;br /&gt;
# Are both Sana and the Magius active (If yes, Intermediate period)&lt;br /&gt;
# Is Ui active (If yes, Post-Arc 1)&lt;br /&gt;
# Is Iroha or the Mikazuki team active (If not, then /Prologue)&lt;br /&gt;
# Are any Arc 2 elements or characters mentioned (If not, then it de factos to Post-Arc 1)&lt;br /&gt;
: For Arc 2: The story is a lot more tightly knit, so that&#039;s why I put them all in the Unknown Placement section. With the Mixed Summer event, it&#039;s becoming easier to determine the time of the year each part takes place in. If we&#039;re lucky, the Unknown Placement section keep being smaller and smaller, though with things like the Kimochi Raids, I suspect it&#039;ll at least have that as part of it.&lt;br /&gt;
: For Arc 2, keep watch for:&lt;br /&gt;
# the state of Alina&lt;br /&gt;
# Are Ikumi and/or Ryo alive&lt;br /&gt;
# If Mitama and Kanagi are still good guys&lt;br /&gt;
# Is Himena thought dead or not&lt;br /&gt;
# The opinion of Yuna and Ao towards KMU&lt;br /&gt;
# Have Touka and Nemu detonated yet&lt;br /&gt;
: I&#039;ll keep adding stuff to it as I go along, like the smaller stories that take place between everything, but I needed to get a sense of the passage of time first, especially for Arc 1.&lt;br /&gt;

::Thank you, i do have a suggestion of where the Holiday events for Arc 2 would go&lt;br /&gt;
:::Post Arc 1: 2019 Halloween and Christmas Events + 2020 New Years and Valentines Events&lt;br /&gt;
:::Part 1: 2020 Summer Events&lt;br /&gt;
:::Part 2: 2020 &amp;amp; 2021 Halloween and Christmas Events + 2021 &amp;amp; 2022 New Years Events&lt;br /&gt;
:::Part 3: 2021 &amp;amp; 2022 Valentines Events&lt;br /&gt;
:::Part 5: 2021 &amp;amp; 2022 Summer Events&lt;br /&gt;
::Hope this is useful ~ [[User:KyoSayaRulzRB|KyoSayaRulzRB]] ([[User talk:KyoSayaRulzRB|talk]])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::: Thank you so much. You have no idea how much time you saved me omg (;_;). I made a list of just the events, I hope it makes sense, but if there&#039;s any issues in that one please let me know, the events all have the release dates and I followed your instructions on them (side note, it is easier to see if you&#039;re editing the section instead of reading it as a wiki user. Also no need to say, but feel free to edit the section too, I&#039;m all out of steam for today) The section: [[User:Sweet Beanie/Sorting#Outline]]. Again, thank you so much. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 14:26, 5 August 2026 (UTC)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

==Magia Record Events==&lt;br /&gt;
===See You Tomorrow===&lt;br /&gt;
* One morning at the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira greets an older neighbor who warns her about increasing danger in the area. Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them. The girl agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, finishing the final preparations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day of the school festival proceeds without major incident. Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, sampling food and enjoying the event. They take a photo together at the repaired arch—Tsumugi, Manaka, and the transfer student in her uniform. The transfer student reflects later that she will cherish the photo forever, grateful for the kindness she did not feel she deserved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Autumn of Reading===&lt;br /&gt;
This seems to have been an event without story. Needs to be re-checked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Girls in the Hood===&lt;br /&gt;
* An earthquake strikes the city, and on a rooftop, Jun Kazari drops both her yo-yo and her soul gem while practicing tricks. She chases after the soul gem, while the yo-yo falls into the hood of Mitsune Miwa, a hikikomori watching a performance below. Mitsune decides to return it and runs up the stairs, where she collides with Jun. Jun explains she needs her soul gem, and Mitsune returns the yo-yo. A Witch&#039;s barrier appears around them, and Jun transforms to fight while telling Mitsune to close her eyes. Mitsune peeks, collapses after seeing the Witch die, and Jun carries her outside, claiming it was all a dream. Jun insists on treating Mitsune since she saved her yo-yo, and takes her to a candy store called Tomorrow Shop. Jun introduces her to the children there, and Mitsune is amazed by how loved Jun is. Mitsune must leave by 6 PM, and Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Girls in the Hood|Girls in the Hood]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitsune returns to the shop and sees Kanae Yukino talking with Jun. Mitsune detours down an alley and is caught in a Witch&#039;s barrier. Kanae enters first, and Jun follows to save Mitsune. They defeat the Witch together, and Mitsune wakes in a park. Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop&amp;quot; again, and Mitsune smiles and agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Jun talks to Kyubey about having no friends her own age, while Mitsune researches online and finds rumors about magical girls and the Tomorrow Shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Jun and the shop owner discover that Mitsune is their neighbor. Mitsune asks Jun about what she saw, but Jun says she forgot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitsune later sees Kanae talking to Kyubey and follows her, but is pulled into a Familiar&#039;s labyrinth. Jun saves her, and Mitsune directly asks if Jun is a magical girl. Jun begins explaining Witches, Familiars, and magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mitsune admits she still cannot go to school or make friends. Jun says she also struggles with friends. Mitsune wonders if she should become a magical girl, but Jun yells at her not to. Mitsune leaves upset. Kanae warns Jun that Mitsune has the qualities to become a magical girl, and Jun reveals she is moving away from Kamihama. She used her wish to save the shop, but now realizes other things are more important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Jun tells Mitsune she is moving next week and that magical girls do not have the kind of magic Mitsune dreams of. Mitsune must make her own dreams come true. Jun promises to prove she does not need magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Jun finds that the children and Mitsune went to explore Shinsei Ward without her. She finds them at an abandoned construction site where Mitsune encountered a Witch. Mitsune sent the children away but stayed behind. Jun arrives and uses a homemade bomb to damage the Witch before they escape. A gas leak causes a larger explosion, and they escape on Kanae&#039;s motorcycle. Kanae later destroys the Witch barrier herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Jun says goodbye at the shop. Mitsune arrives crying, and Jun gives her a fake gum toy as a farewell gift. Jun tells her she can become whatever she wants without magic, slowly and little by little, and that if she keeps that happy face, they will meet again. &amp;quot;Someday, see you at the Tomorrow Shop again.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, Jun returns to Kamihama. Despite destruction throughout the city, she decides to go to the Tomorrow Shop and see Mitsune and the old lady again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope 1===&lt;br /&gt;
* At age 12, shortly after contracting, Yachiyo meets Mifuyu and initially dislikes her, but her opinion changes after learning about Mifuyu&#039;s demanding family obligations and when Mifuyu takes a severe wound saving her from hostile Magical Girls. Yachiyo later returns the favor, and they grow closer as Mifuyu begins visiting Mikazuki Manor. They eventually share why they made their contracts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope|Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, they defeat a Witch together that had attacked a girl from the hostel. Yachiyo suggests they train as a team, and Mifuyu accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo thrives through hard work while Mifuyu struggles under her mother&#039;s expectations. After Yachiyo confronts Mifuyu&#039;s mother, she is banned from the household, but Mifuyu gains the freedom to visit Mikazuki Manor regularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon, Yachiyo&#039;s modelling team disbands so she can pursue solo work, causing friction. Mifuyu becomes overwhelmed balancing duties with her mother&#039;s restrictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the same pair of Magical Girls from years ago betrays them during a Witch hunt. One dies and the other escapes after stealing the Grief Seed while Yachiyo and Mifuyu lie wounded. They nearly give up, but saving a girl from Yachiyo&#039;s unit reminds them that protecting others still matters. Yachiyo suggests they exchange letters like her grandmother did to maintain hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* For the next seven years, they exchange letters, carrying forward each other&#039;s dreams and finding strength to continue. They later regret not including Kanae and Mel in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Seven years later, Mifuyu suggests stopping the letters to cast away weakness, but Yachiyo believes the letters give them strength by carrying others&#039; wishes. Mifuyu tearfully realizes she can still rely on Yachiyo. They thank each other and resolve to move forward together, hoping no further sacrifices will be needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope 2====&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo finds an old photo album while cleaning. She shows it to Iroha, Tsuruno, Sana, Felicia, and Ui. The photos are from seven years ago, when Mikazuki Villa was a boarding house. Iroha notices a girl standing next to Yachiyo and her grandmother—it is Mifuyu with long hair. Yachiyo explains she knew Mifuyu back then and they fought Witches together. Tsuruno is shocked and Yachiyo says they did not leave a good first impression on each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seven Years Ago&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo fights her first Witch. She is scared but determined. Inside the barrier, she finds another Magical Girl crying. The girl is too frightened to fight.

After deducing the impostor can transform, Sae confronts and corners Rena, who reveals the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire investigation was an elaborate setup. Emiri and the others orchestrated the &amp;quot;False Magical Girl&amp;quot; to force Sae into relying on them, worried her refusal to ask for help would lead to disaster. Mitama coordinated the scheme. Though initially frustrated, Sae understands their concern and thanks them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Magia Record Event - The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf|The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo bumps into Tsuruno on a day when school is out. Yachiyo has a job performing in a recorded drama with Sayuki that will be screened on Tanabata. Tsuruno recalls Yachiyo&#039;s poor performance in Karin&#039;s Halloween play and decides to join her to help. Yachiyo welcomes her.&lt;br /&gt;
** On set, Ria and Mayu are assisting with makeup and costumes. Yachiyo recognizes Ria, calls her by name, and praises her work, causing Ria to internally fangirl. Yachiyo grows anxious seeing so many Magical Girls gathered, recalling how a previous production with magical girls turned into a disaster. Tsuruno reassures her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wins over the production team with her exuberance. The play&#039;s co-star drops out, and the director asks Tsuruno to take the role. She eagerly accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a fairy tale about an ancient Mizuna legend. Two girls, Tsuyu and Chizuru, befriend each other despite their families&#039; rivalry and join forces to punish a selfish lord. Yachiyo plays Tsuyu, the ice queen with a heart of gold. Tsuruno plays Chizuru, the cheerful and impetuous girl. Sayuki plays the Magpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** During the script reading, everyone realizes Yachiyo&#039;s acting skills are still terrible. Yachiyo confides that she has turned down many acting jobs but accepted this one because the director begged her, even if she flops. She vows to see it through to expand her repertoire. Tsuruno promises to stay by her side.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria is in shock seeing her idol perform poorly. The filmmakers work around it by taking away Yachiyo&#039;s lines. Ria confronts Yachiyo and Tsuruno after the reading, declaring she will give Yachiyo an acting bootcamp. She does not want Yachiyo&#039;s performance to drag down her makeup work or her reputation as Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at home, Yachiyo reviews the script. Tsuruno explains the Mizuna fairy tale to the rest of Mikazuki. Felicia becomes interested when she learns there are fight scenes. Tsuruno explains that the day Tsuyu and Chizuru teamed up was Tanabata, and people in Kamihama entrust their wishes to them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next week or so, Yachiyo is drilled on acting with a professional coach and Ria&#039;s guidance. She eventually executes her lines perfectly and Ria is relieved.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sea is a Link Through Time /  The Call of the Open Sea===&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. There&#039;s two different versions at hand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Momoko and Mitama arrive at a resort near a village with a legend about a Diviner who eloped with a sailor and sank with stolen treasure. Mitama reveals they are actually there to hunt for this treasure based on a fairy tale Mikage heard. While exploring the private beach, they encounter Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao from the Tokime Clan, who stumbled there by accident. The group decides to spend the day together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|The Call of the Open Sea]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, they attend a festival in a nearby village that turns out to be a branch of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka learns the villagers consider Diviners a superstition. Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Big Sis, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Felicia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward. Kyubey finds a fuming Felicia, who decides to hire herself out as a mercenary to other magical girls for money or Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Felicia Mitsuki#Side Story|Felicia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia encounters Asuka and Sasara and defeats a witch for them, but they let her keep the Grief Seed and leave without paying, leaving her frustrated. Kako appears, concerned, but Felicia rejects her harshly and immediately regrets it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia helps defeat the witch and collapses from exhaustion, silently vowing to destroy every witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Touka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Hazuki and Nanaka team up with Ui to teach her how to defeat witches. Ui claims her first victory and receives a grief seed as a reward while Touka and Nemu tag along to offer congratulations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She excitedly shares this revelation with her family and friends and resolves to work hard toward this future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art. The Amanes are relieved, and Tsukuyo suggests they play their flutes at the shrine on the way home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends.

Even the classmate Shigure saved never acknowledged her. They begin to believe magical girls are superior to ordinary humans and deserve recognition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shiguress&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shigure Miyabi#Side Story|Shigure&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Hagumu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hagumu reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. After Walpurgisnacht, the organization dissolved, and many former Feathers joined the Kamihama Magia Union. Hagumu is uncertain, as she believes in Magical Girl Supremacy and cannot accept the Union&#039;s ideology of liberation without sacrifice. Shigure contacts her, asking to meet and talk. Shigure wants to convince Touka and Nemu to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Hagumu is conflicted—she cannot trust the Magius after being exploited, but she also cannot decide what to do. She asks for time to think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hagumu Azumi#Side Story|Hagumu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu meets Maria, a former Magius member who joined the Union. Maria notices Hagumu looks unwell and offers to listen. Hagumu explains her dilemma: she cannot agree with the Union&#039;s ideology, but she also cannot follow Shigure&#039;s plan. Maria suggests Hagumu ask other Magical Girls how they decided. Hagumu recalls her wish was made in haste to save a woman under a Witch&#039;s Kiss, and she regrets not choosing a better wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Moka why she joined the Union. Moka says she joined because she was invited and everyone is kind. Hagumu sees Moka is honest and never doubts people, which is why everyone supports her. Hagumu realizes they are completely different—Moka has people who protect her, while Hagumu feels she has nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Yukika, a former Black Feather, why she declined the Union. Yukika says she did not want to drag others into trouble. Hagumu sees Yukika has strong convictions and follows them, unlike herself. Hagumu feels more discouraged.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches. Hagumu is moved but asks for more time to discuss it with Shigure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hagumu finishes sewing Cinderella&#039;s costume and is praised by her club members. She feels a sense of accomplishment. However, she forgot to order the glass slippers. Her seniors are disappointed but tell her to order them now and make a to-do list next time. Hagumu feels crushed—she finally succeeded at something, only to fail again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu senses a Witch and goes to help. She sees Riko, an elementary schooler, defeating the Witch on her own. Hagumu realizes her ability to fight Witches is not special—any Magical Girl can do it. She feels her &amp;quot;glass slippers&amp;quot; are cracking and shattering. She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Hikarizuka Youth Association, San is treated like a younger sister by the members. The Chairman reveals the Association is facing rumours of shady business and has lost a major sponsor. The Fire Festival may be cancelled. San tells Miyuri about her past—as a child, she was scared of the Festival until Tatsu showed her the beauty of the flames. She joined the Youth Association out of admiration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[San Kagura#Side Story|San&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Years ago, a movement to abolish the Festival arose. San wished to Kyubey to &amp;quot;make the Fire Festival remain,&amp;quot; and the movement died out. However, the Festival is now in trouble again because her wish only solved the immediate crisis. San suggests that if they could make people believe in a visible god, they could restore faith in the Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San and Miyuri try fundraising but fail. San decides to research the god of Hikarizuka Shrine.

San realizes she can become a visible god and spread Magical Girl supremacy to protect the Festival. She decides to contact the new Wings of Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San meets Shigure and Hagumu, who lead the Neo-Magius. They ask her to join as an instructor. San declines, saying she is more suited to being a lieutenant. She receives a message that Tatsu was caught in a violent incident. San rushes back. Sponsors are considering dropping out due to the incident. San decides to negotiate with Miyuri&#039;s father to continue sponsorship just for this year. She kneels and begs him. He agrees but says this will be the last year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The Youth Association cleans up. San learns that everyone has given up on the Festival. Tatsu admits none of them ever saw the god—he only told San that to comfort her as a child. San is shocked but still refuses to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** San tells Himena about her wish and her determination to become a god. She vows to spread Magical Girl supremacy and revive the Fire Festival by any means necessary. Himena approves. San declares she will become a living god, no matter what she has to sacrifice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Miyuri&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena, Alexandra, Hagumu, and Shigure watch as San stretches Miyuri. Miyuri&#039;s loud reactions draw attention. Himena asks about Miyuri&#039;s inline skating. Miyuri explains she started skating as a child because she was bad at running and her parents bought her skates. She fell in love with the feeling of cutting through the wind and quickly improved, eventually competing in freestyle competitions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Miyuri Yukari#Side Story|Miyuri&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s social anxiety worsened. She began experiencing panic attacks at competitions and could no longer compete. Her parents signed her up with the Hikarizuka Youth Association to help her interact with people. There, she met San for the first time. San invited her to dance practice. Miyuri fainted from overexcitement while watching San&#039;s legs. She realized she had a leg fetish and that it triggered her anxiety. She began avoiding San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s skating practice suffered. Her mother suggested she visit the Community Center. Miyuri avoided San again and went outside to practice skating alone at night. She felt free and happy while skating. San saw her dancing in the moonlight and was mesmerized. San decided she wanted to help Miyuri grow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish. San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri learned her new power shortened her experience of anxiety. She became more confident but still fainted easily. She fought Witches alone, often blacking out and going berserk. She encountered the Wings of the Magius while chasing a Witch. Her Doppel emerged. San appeared as the Instructor, defeated the Witch, and fended off the Doppel. San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training. Touka and Nemu suggested San should train Miyuri since she could still hear San&#039;s voice when unconscious. San agreed and became Miyuri&#039;s instructor. Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present) Back at the Community Center, Miyuri finishes her story. She does not regret her wish because it led her to become San&#039;s secret weapon and join Neo-Magius. Himena and the others leave, leaving San and Miyuri alone and Miyuri is mitten with San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Lavi goes shopping with Mikage and Nayuta. At the vegetable shop, the owner thanks Lavi for her gardening advice. A woman gives Lavi fresh eggs as thanks for organic vegetables from Lavi&#039;s grandfather. Mikage notices Lavi knows many housewives. Nayuta realizes she knows little about Lavi&#039;s past.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi explains she used to have a frail body as a child due to an unidentifiable condition. Her grandfather grew organic vegetables, which eased her symptoms. However, a severe storm destroyed the field&#039;s soil, making it impossible to grow vegetables. Lavi wished to restore the soil and became a Magical Girl. Her wish saved the field and gave hope to others. She admits her improved health was partly due to becoming a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage wants to make the newspaper more interesting, so Lavi offers to demonstrate &amp;quot;newsworthy&amp;quot; housework. She cooks lunch while Mikage records. Nayuta and Mikage try to help but ruin the dish with too much seasoning. They are distraught, but Lavi salvages it using cabbage and eggs. The meal is delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After making the newspaper, Nayuta and Mikage fall asleep. Lavi reflects on her past. She reveals that she never found joy in living despite her family&#039;s efforts. Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true. She asks for a little more time in her beloved daily life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Asahi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime Tribe holds a celebration to welcome Asahi. During introductions, Chiharu rambles excitedly about her favorite shows, and Asahi finds herself intrigued. When pressed to share more about herself, Asahi talks about hunting and the importance of minimizing suffering. That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun. Everyone apologizes, and they end the day with a shared dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Alexandra&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Re-analyze and structure this. It is a double-story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra dreams of her school days. She sees her past self smiling and realizes she is dreaming of the time she was in love. In the dream, she discusses love with Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu. Himena shares a romantic story about stargazing with Hiko. When Himena asks about their own love lives, Alexandra begins crying unexpectedly. She denies anything is wrong, but Himena apologizes for being insensitive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Alexandra Kurusu#Side Story|Alexandra&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, Alexandra&#039;s teacher appears—but he looks like Shigure. Other people appear as Himena and Hagumu. She recalls that her teacher was her math teacher and club advisor. He was strict and had a reputation for being scary. Alexandra remembers how she would complain about him with her classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After club activities, Alexandra wants to practice singing more. She goes to the rooftop and finds the teacher there. He allows her to practice under his supervision. They begin meeting regularly on the rooftop. She learns he does not smoke and is careful about his throat. He mentions that being an adult is not that great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A male classmate confesses to Alexandra. She almost accepts but pictures the teacher&#039;s face and realizes she loves someone else. She rejects the classmate. Later, it rains, and the teacher lends her his towel. She realizes she has fallen in love with him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra begins trying to appeal to the teacher daily. She asks about his relationship status and learns he is single. She indirectly describes him when talking about her type. She leaves a love letter in his shoe locker. He thinks it is a prank but recognizes her handwriting. She keeps trying to convey her feelings, but he never takes her seriously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra&#039;s behavior becomes obvious in class. She eagerly volunteers to answer questions and is overly happy when called on. Her classmates are amazed she can talk to the scary teacher so cheerfully. She learns everyone fears him. She asks why he became a teacher, and he admits his parents were teachers and he had wanted to be a singer but never pursued it. He wonders if there is any meaning to his life. Alexandra feels sorrow and wants him to be happy. She begins planning to improve his reputation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey appears and offers to grant any wish. Alexandra wants to capture the teacher&#039;s heart through her own efforts. She decides not to make a wish yet. She organizes a surprise birthday party for him with her classmates. He is genuinely happy and thanks her. He realizes she planned it. She tells him all the students respect him. He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra continues her jokes and attempts to get closer to the teacher. She jokes about marriage and asks for a date on the school trip. He unexpectedly agrees to go shopping with her for a few minutes. She hugs him in excitement. A classmate spots them on the rooftop. Rumors spread quickly. The principal calls the teacher in. He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra cannot wake up from the dream. She imagines the teacher scolding her for playing with his feelings. She decides she needs to apologize in real life. She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love. She tells him her feelings were not a deception—they were true love. She thanks him for a wonderful time and says she now only places her faith in Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home. Lavi approves of her standing her ground, and Nayuta realizes she and Lavi are more alike than she thought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, classmates who used to bully her avoid her, but Mikage is determined to find Magical Girl friends. Himika tells her about Emiri’s counseling center, so they go there together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the center, Emiri, Sasara, Asuka, and Kanoko are delighted to meet Mitama’s little sister. Mikage explains she is looking for a friend, but Emiri points out they are already her friends. After some banter about fashion, Mikage tries on Kanoko’s outfits and has a wonderful time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mikage wonders if the older girls truly see her as a friend or just as a kid. Himika suggests she meet girls her own age like Ui, Touka, and Nemu, though Mikage is uncertain about befriending the geniuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When she returns home, Mitama warns her that Ui has been kidnapped by Promised Blood and forbids Mikage from associating with the Kamihama Magia Union. Mikage reluctantly agrees but is frustrated her efforts to make friends have been stopped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama leaves for work and Mikage accuses her of hypocrisy—Mitama can spend time with the KMU while Mikage cannot. She runs out, declaring she will find a new big sister. She finds Emiri’s office closed but runs into Rika and Ren, who quickly realize she is Mitama’s sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Mikage bond over fashion and go to some cheap stores, where Mikage realizes she left her wallet. They play a crane game instead, and Rika wins stuffed animals for Ren and Mikage. Mikage asks Rika to be her big sister; Rika declines but encourages her to talk to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory. Kanoko lets her help make a pendant, but before Mikage can convince her to become her sister, Mitama arrives and drags her home. Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any. Later, she finds Mitama has made all her favorite foods, and they reconcile off‑screen; Mikage gives Mitama the pendant she made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage declares she will not give up on making Kamihama Magia Union friends. She then decides that since Lavi and Nayuta are older, they can be her big sisters instead. They exchange a look and agree to treat her for one day. Mikage expresses her hope that someday she and Sudachi can play with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yozuru plays piano at a pharmacist’s request, impressing everyone, then meets Livia Medeiros and Sudachi Sawa. Sudachi exposes Mifuyu, who decides to introduce herself directly. Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yozuru meets Livia and Sudachi again. Yozuru worries she lacks the kindness to be a good coordinator, but Livia encourages her. Sudachi’s stomach rumbles, and Yozuru prepares snacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yozuru replies that her mother trained her to face worse and declares she will live to the fullest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited again. She jokes about the visitor&#039;s persistence. Yozuru and Sudachi return from stocking up on essentials. Sudachi trips, and Yozuru hesitates to help. Livia instructs Yozuru to help Sudachi stand and dust her off. Yozuru apologizes and explains she is not equipped with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the trailer, Yozuru offers tea. Sudachi wants teacakes. Livia allows them to have some as a treat. Livia reflects that she needs to help the girls mature. Yozuru has lost compassion, while Sudachi needs to find her words. Livia believes they will complement each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is found sleeping and crying. Yozuru gives her a handkerchief. Livia says crying in sleep happens occasionally and is common among Coordinators. She thanks Sudachi for finding her dropped ring. Sudachi sulks when Livia refuses to give her sweets as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the ring is a treasure and a way of reprimanding herself. It is the reason she lives for &amp;quot;Mister Sun.&amp;quot; She says she may tell the full story another time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia shares her philosophy: no matter how awful life is, do not drift in a bad direction or relieve resentment with a curse. Magical Girls are born from hope and must overcome struggles with hope. She warns against corrupting purity and urges supporting those with pure hearts. She says she has said enough for now and will share the rest when she is ready. She asks the visitor to promise to live strong, face forward, and not end up like her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Lil&#039; Kyubey returns to Mikazuki Villa. Touka and Nemu are exhausted. They conclude Lil&#039; Kyubey may feel things and have sociality, but cannot reach a firm conclusion.

Lil&#039; Kyubey later meets Hazuki and gives her KamihaManju, but Hazuki refuses, saying she is on a diet and does not want Lil&#039; Kyubey contacting her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo loses sight of Lil&#039; Kyubey. She finds a girl with potential who may have received a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and helps fight the Witch alongside Nanaka. After the battle, Nanaka explains Lil&#039; Kyubey followed her into the labyrinth and returned a flower she dropped. Nanaka asks Ryo to tell Lil&#039; Kyubey to stop visiting unfriendly Magical Girls. Ryo realizes Lil&#039; Kyubey avoids girls with potential and is not soliciting anyone. She writes an article correcting her earlier suspicions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui writes a &amp;quot;Lil&#039; Kyubey Observation Journal.&amp;quot; She and Lil&#039; Kyubey wake Tsuruno and Felicia by shouting.

It visits various schools with different Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui finishes her journal. Touka and Nemu read it and use it as qualitative data. They debate whether Lil&#039; Kyubey is mimicking humans or simply reinforcing Ui&#039;s actions. Iroha suggests Lil&#039; Kyubey is supporting them in their efforts to free all Magical Girls. Lil&#039; Kyubey agrees, and Iroha thanks it for accompanying them. She says they will continue together from now on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This is also belonging to the anime partly. Write the main part on the magia record and then the second part on the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices.

* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the boy reads the fairy tale Kuroe recommended. He questions a detail in the story, but Kuroe simply accepts it because the writer says so.

* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

That night she begins having a strange dream telling her to go to Kamihama, where Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** That night, Kuroe faces a Witch too powerful for her. Another Magical Girl, Iroha Tamaki, saves her, gives her a Grief Seed, and offers friendship. The kindness reminds Kuroe of the white‑hooded girl and her regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe returns the Grief Seed to Iroha, and they begin working together. They notice no Witches have appeared in Takarazaki for a week—coinciding with Kuroe’s dreams of Kamihama. Seeing online comments from other Magical Girls heading there, Kuroe decides to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe and Iroha go to Kamihama together but nearly die against an unusually strong Witch until Yachiyo Nanami saves them. Yachiyo warns them to stay out. At home, Kuroe watches a video by Touka Satomi of the Wings of the Magius, who promise a world where Magical Girls no longer need to fight. The message comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kuroe turns in her essay, which suggests separating students who enjoy school from those who do not. Her teacher tries to help, but Kuroe snaps about always having to pretend. She says she is going to die tomorrow and runs off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe dreams of Iroha, though she cannot understand her words. Her Doppel reflects that her contract gave her affirmation of existence, yet she still does not feel like anyone - she simply adapts to whatever situation she is in, resented by no one and dependent on no one, but still wondering who she should be. In the dream, Iroha asks what scares her and offers to figure out who Kuroe is together. Kuroe wakes up wondering why she dreamed of the camping trip, and she calls Iroha, deciding she wants to connect with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroeds&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Doppel Story|Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sasara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara is taken hostage at knifepoint in a convenience store. Despite her desire to be a knight, she is too terrified to act. Though the police arrest the criminal and she is safe, Sasara feels ashamed and hates herself for her cowardice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sasara Minagi#Side Story|Sasara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sasara meets Kyubey and when he makes his offer, Sasara accepts without hesitation. As her father works for an emergency rescue squad, a job she admires, he gave her a favorite picture book about a knight who defeats a dragon to save a village. Sasara carries this book everywhere and has always wanted to be like her father and the knight. She wishes to become a knight who can protect and save people, asking for a stronger heart and stronger convictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Sasara has been hunting witches and saving their victims ever since making her contract. She calls herself the Knight who protects the people of Kamihama, but over time her feelings become tainted. The people she rescues never remember what happened and do not acknowledge her. Sasara realizes she wants someone to appreciate her and questions whether she really wanted to become a knight at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book. She thought she could accept the people she helped not talking to her, but now it feels like she does not even exist. When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nanaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Needs to be re-checked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako to ask for their help fighting a witch they all share a connection to. To explain why she needs them, Nanaka tells them how she became a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka&#039;s father headed a traditional Japanese flower arranging school, but when he fell ill, senior students took over and grew the school&#039;s popularity while abandoning its traditions, shutting out Nanaka&#039;s family entirely. On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform. She decided to lay the Soul Gem with its owner&#039;s body, and when she placed the gem in the girl&#039;s hands, the girl began breathing again. Later, Kyubey explained that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Kyubey asks if Nanaka will tell the others this secret, but she says she is waiting for the right moment. Nanaka then reflects that her true revenge target is actually Kyubey himself. Her power makes it clear he is her enemy, though she does not know all the details, and she is waiting for the right time to turn against him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Nanaka&#039;s team is still unable to find the witch. Akira reports meeting a magical girl mercenary. As the girls plan their next move, Nanaka muses about how she is gathering the determination of magical girls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Re-check.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuku enjoys time with her friends but feels disconnected from them and uncertain about her future. She finds comfort in Fūnī, a traveler who visits her family&#039;s cafe and shares his dream of finding a place to belong. When he invites her to search with him, she feels hopeful that she will not be alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* As a magical girl, Shizuku gains the power to connect spaces, allowing her to travel the world much like Fūnī once did. She continues her search, taking jobs from an unknown magical girl who pays her to use her power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day after a job, Yachiyo Nanami, Tsuruno Yui, and Iroha Tamaki approach her. Iroha invites Shizuku to their house, where she meets Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba. She stays for dinner and overnight, observing how the five girls live together like a family. Yachiyo invites her to stay as long as she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku realizes the other girls have found their place to belong, but she understands that her own place was with Fūnī. She cries as his last words finally make sense to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, Shizuku ends her arrangement with the unknown magical girl and returns to Yachiyo&#039;s house, hoping she can stay there. When she arrives, the house is empty, and she sees the personal items that mark each girl&#039;s place. Overhearing them return, she realizes their home is complete with five people and she does not belong there. She leaves quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and the others had prepared a welcome party with cake, but Shizuku never comes. Yachiyo senses that Shizuku might disappear if you look away and admits she should have seen this coming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku returns to the unknown magical girl and asks for more work. When asked why she came back, she says their picture was complete with five people and she must keep searching for where she belongs. She mentally apologizes to Yachiyo, knowing her actions will cause disaster but feeling unprepared to take responsibility. She wonders if she will ever find solid ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Akira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After Nanaka and Sasara contracts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Akira wakes from a dream about being attacked by a familiar and finds Sasara Minagi nearby, who is out for a walk. Sasara offers to help Akira search for an old man&#039;s lost cane, recalling she saw children playing with a red cane, and the two head off together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akira Shinobu#Side Story|Akira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akira reflects on her upbringing in her father&#039;s karate dojo, where she learned to always help those in need and earned the neighborhood nickname &amp;quot;Troubleshooter&amp;quot; starting at age six.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira started middle school, a girl asked her to be a bodyguard against a stalker. The girl brought her to a park, confessed her love, and admitted to lying about the stalker. Akira politely rejected her, saying she didn&#039;t know much about that sort of thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Akira learned the girl had vanished and spent days searching for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day Akira found the barrier, she retraced the girl&#039;s steps in the park and stepped into a witch&#039;s labyrinth. She found the missing girl among blank-faced victims marked by a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Kyubey appeared, explained about witches and magical girls, and offered a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Familiars attacked and overwhelmed her despite her karate training. Injured, Akira wished to save all those people, transformed, and destroyed the familiars.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, none of the victims remembered the incident. Kyubey told Akira she needed to defeat the witch itself, which became her destiny as a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a magical girl, Akira patrolled Kamihama investigating witch-related incidents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day, she encountered a familiar without transforming and dropped her Soul Gem. Unable to retrieve it, she fled the barrier and collapsed unconscious outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira woke, Nanaka Tokiwa introduced herself as the magical girl who found her and picked up her Soul Gem. Nanaka advised withdrawing since Akira had collapsed, and Akira reluctantly agreed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Nanaka called asking for a favor. When they met again, Nanaka requested a duel, claiming Akira was weak and should quit hunting witches. Akira refused, citing her family&#039;s dojo, and they dueled. After some fighting, Nanaka ended the duel and apologized. She explained she wanted to test Akira&#039;s resolve and invited her to work together as a team. Akira relented after Nanaka claimed she was troubled and couldn&#039;t fight witches alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present day, Akira returns the cane to the old man and thanks Sasara. She reflects on meeting many magical girls since joining Nanaka and wonders how many exist in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Manaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes Manaka cooking at her family&#039;s failing restaurant, Walnuts. She dreams of following her father&#039;s footsteps as a chef and believes that gaining admission to the prestigious St. Lillianna Academy will help her cook like a high class lady and restore the restaurant&#039;s popularity. Kyubey notes her poor grades make passing unlikely, but Manaka insists this is her father&#039;s last chance and resolves to study.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Manaka Kurumi#Side Story|Manaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Upon starting at Mizuna, Manaka visits the student council and offers to cook for an upcoming joint assembly with St. Lillian. The council dismisses her, explaining they already arranged a chef.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Walking home, Kyubey again offers a contract. Fed up, Manaka accepts but wishes not for the restaurant&#039;s success, but for a chance to spread their restaurant&#039;s flavors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the assembly, Manaka begins selling popular bentos at school and works as a visiting chef at St. Lillian every Thursday.

Meanwhile, her father receives invitations to tour as a chef and seems genuinely happy traveling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt; Manaka questions why she even bothered trying.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Manaka finishes selling bentos and keeps one for herself. Sana Futaba rushes in, upset at arriving too late.

Sana accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana promises to arrive earlier tomorrow, but Manaka reveals this may be her last day selling bentos. She admits she thinks she made her restaurant even more obscure, and if she is not helping it, she sees no point in cooking.

Seeing Sana smile gives Manaka new motivation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After contracts of: Kako, Manaka&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A documentary crew follows Ria Ami, whose natural beauty causes crowds to part, though she admits she has no basis for comparison when asked about her challenges. Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ria asks Manaka to be her bodyguard while buying the magazine featuring her article, wearing sunglasses to avoid being seen. Inside, she discovers her article occupies only one page, while Yachiyo has an eight-page spread.

After they defeat it, Himika Mao arrives late, introduces herself, and asks if they are sisters; Hazuki explains they are not. Himika mentions she is thirteen with five younger siblings. When Ayame asks about being an older sister, Himika invites her to meet her family. Konoha asks to come as Ayame&#039;s guardian upon learning Himika cooks for her family, and Himika accepts. Hazuki says she will prepare dinner at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, at Himika&#039;s house, Konoha and Ayame observe the cramped living space. Himika explains she uses cheap leftover meat blends from a disposal man to feed her family. She serves dinner, and all her siblings along with Ayame eat. When Konoha asks if the food is tasty, the siblings say they never think it&#039;s bad because Himika does her best. Konoha reflects on Azalea&#039;s House and realizes she was too focused on theory rather than on who she was cooking for. She thanks Himika and leaves with Ayame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, Ayame and Hazuki find Konoha cooking again. Konoha promises to give up if she fails this time. Focusing on her feelings rather than theory, she makes a meal from Azalea&#039;s. Hazuki and Ayame try it and say it&#039;s bad, but it&#039;s edible. Konoha is excited that someone could actually eat her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ayame returns home to find Konoha cooking again. Hazuki observes that Konoha has found joy in the act of cooking. Konoha narrates that she learned cooking is about heart, and could now make food people could finish. She thinks cooking is fun, though Ayame and Hazuki sometimes scream loud enough to startle the neighbors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Konoha attempts beef stroganoff, a dish Hazuki admits is difficult. Hazuki and Ayame try it and collapse. Konoha says she will redo it. She narrates that experience matters, and wonders what to try next.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hazuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame meet with Nanaka, Meiyui, Akira, and Kako at a restaurant to discuss how to handle situations where both teams target the same Witch. Meiyui proposes a first-come, first-served rule, but Hazuki points out it would lead to disputes over who arrived first. Ayame suggests settling conflicts with rock-paper-scissors, and though Meiyui argues there&#039;s no time for games in battle, Hazuki has them try it on the spot. When Ayame and Meiyui play, Meiyui uses a martial arts technique to change Ayame&#039;s hand, causing an argument between the groups. Hazuki calms everyone down and suggests they go home for the day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hazuki Yusa#Side Story|Hazuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls reconvene at the restaurant. Hazuki proposes a new rule: anyone who uses magic against a Witch gains proportional rights to the Grief Seed. Both teams agree, and Hazuki suggests they gather data by hunting together. They split into mixed teams—Ayame and Kako form one; Hazuki, Akira, and Meiyui another and Konoha and Nanaka stand by to help as needed. After the successful joint hunt, Nanaka meets with Hazuki alone at the restaurant. She reveals she believes Hazuki manipulated the entire situation from the first meeting, noting that her team was impressed with Hazuki&#039;s group&#039;s teamwork but that she herself was more struck by Hazuki&#039;s modus operandi. Nanaka asks why Hazuki orchestrated everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki admits she wanted Konoha, who is introverted, to connect with others and that after the Witch fight, Konoha seemed genuinely happy. She explains her goal was simply to build connections between her group and other Kamihama Magical Girls. Nanaka accepts this and says she&#039;s glad to work with her. Later, Hazuki writes in her notebook that Nanaka is shrewd but fascinating, and she resolves to continue reaching out to other Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ayame&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame encounters Felicia during a Witch fight, and their rivalry quickly escalates when Felicia dismisses Ayame&#039;s challenge to lead the girls to argue and accidentally let the Witch escape. Frustrated by losing to Felicia specifically, Ayame confronts her afterward, and despite Kako&#039;s attempts to mediate, the two insist on settling things through some competition. Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch. Emerging back in the park, Felicia thanks Ayame, and they realize the race was never finished. They resume, but Ayame admits she&#039;s fine with not winning and she has come to accept Felicia as a strong rival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ayamess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ayame Mikuri#Side Story|Ayame&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Masara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro gives Masara cookies simply because she wants to, leaving Masara confused by the gesture. Masara flashes back to their first meeting, when Kokoro had blamed herself for being unable to protect others and Masara told her she should not carry that guilt. Kokoro had asked to stay by Masara&#039;s side, explaining that those words had saved her. In the present, Kokoro asks what Masara is thinking about, and when Masara admits she was remembering their first meeting, Kokoro smiles. Masara does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Masara Kagami#Side Story|Masara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara visits Mitama for magical strengthening, bringing many Grief Seeds with her. Mitama notes her unusual enthusiasm, and Masara explains she wants to get stronger in order to find something that might change her life. Mitama suggests she try attending a summer festival and hands her a flyer, but Masara shows no interest. When Mitama brings up Kokoro, mentioning that Kokoro has talked about her, Masara insists they are merely working together, not friends, and finds Kokoro&#039;s expectations troublesome. Mitama claims Masara is actually worried about Kokoro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara reflects on her childhood, remembering how her parents had her swim from a young age. Despite showing talent, she never felt any joy or sense of accomplishment, though she continued hoping it might eventually change. It never did. She became a magical girl thinking her dull life might finally become interesting, but even that eventually grew boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead. The Witch targets Kokoro, and Masara injures herself by blocking the attack. The Witch escapes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro apologizes, but Masara claims she only did what was most logical, since the Witch could not have been defeated alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Masara keeps flashing back to the moment the Witch attacked Kokoro whenever she looks at her injury. The recurring memory bothers her, though she does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Kokoro offers to hunt the Witch again with Masara. Masara flashes back to the previous fight and insists she will hunt it alone. She tells Kokoro she is a burden and that she does not like getting hurt. Masara leaves Kokoro crying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara tells Mitama what happened. Mitama suggests Masara was actually trying to protect Kokoro. Masara is at a loss and wonders why being around Kokoro causes her to get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro blames herself for causing Masara trouble. She senses the same Witch and, respecting Masara&#039;s wish to hunt alone, decides to fight it by herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help. Masara agrees and tells Kokoro to call her next time. When Kokoro worries about causing trouble, Masara insists she is doing it for herself, because she does not like seeing Kokoro get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro asks if she can call Masara during lunch. Masara says she does not care either way. The two go to Mitama&#039;s place together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro notices the summer festival flyer and asks if Masara is interested. Masara admits she is a little interested. Mitama laughs and says they can look forward to the future when there is something or someone important. Kokoro and Masara are confused by her comment, which exasperates Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks to herself that Masara will become stronger now that she has something to protect. For the first time, Masara finds herself thinking about the future, though she does not know why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Konomi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi welcomes Kaede and Kako to the flower shop where she works part-time. She began working at Blossom because the florist once comforted her as a crying child with a single flower, and now Konomi does the same for other children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konomi Haruna#Side Story|Konomi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a customer leaves, Kaede and Kako help the florist carry supplies. The florist recently returned from the hospital, having survived a serious illness. Konomi remembers the day she found an ambulance outside and learned the shop might close. Desperate to help, she wished to Kyubey to cure the florist&#039;s illness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls notice customers bearing a Witch&#039;s Kiss, track down the Witch, and destroy it together. Konomi reflects that she can be a Magical Girl because of Kaede and Kako, her dearest companions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to find a long line waiting. Ever since Konomi&#039;s wish, the shop has drawn many young customers. Grateful, Konomi thinks back to when the girls first entered.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;!--The Flashback: Their First Meeting--&amp;gt;Kaede and Kako visit the shop for the first time. Kako searches for a specific flower, which Konomi identifies. During tea break, Kako explains she read about the flowers in a novel and wants to buy some for a friend&#039;s birthday. Kaede admits she has never given flowers but receiving them once felt wonderful. Konomi smiles and says she has an idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of the flower giveaway, Konomi, Kaede, and Kako take to the streets, suddenly appearing to hand bouquets to strangers before disappearing. A lottery winner, a despairing old man, and a boy who just got a girl&#039;s number all receive flowers. Later, the girls reunite. Kaede gave to ten people, Kako to thirteen. Konomi apologizes, but they agree to try again the day after tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, before their next giveaway, a girl asks Konomi about the Bursting Flower Girl, a rumored figure who appears on Tuesdays and Thursdays to hand out flowers that supposedly sprout mouths. Konomi, Kaede, and Kako realize they are the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi panics, fearing they have made people hate flowers. They notice a little girl crying because her mother refused to buy her a toy ring. Konomi offers a flower, but the girl wants a ring. Kako fashions the flower into a ring, and the girl calls it pretty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi realizes they have been giving flowers without understanding what recipients truly want. She decides to create something more meaningful. Inspired by Kaede&#039;s mention of birthday flowers and Kako&#039;s knowledge of flower language, they plan an arrangement that speaks to people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi and the girls create a birthday cake made of fifty flowers, with chocolate and candy inside. The cake incorporates birth flowers so greetings can be communicated through their language. They prepare a fair at the shop to showcase it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi shows the cake to the florist, who gives a muted reaction and announces her retirement, planning to leave Konomi the shop.

The three girls reveal they are Magical Girls, track down the Witch, and destroy it together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Hinano, Emiri, Ria, Manaka, Akira&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Rika is invited to a blind date by Emiri Kisaki, who brings along Hinano Miyako, a girl recently heartbroken. When the boys on the date mock Hinano&#039;s youthful appearance and odd way of speaking, Rika surprises her by defending them. Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her. Emiri and Rika quickly reassure Hinano, with Rika adding that Hinano is actually cool for having been able to confess her feelings—unlike Rika, who never confessed at all and watched her crush end up with someone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri then suggests Rika should make a wish, revealing that she and Hinano are magical girls who each received one wish in exchange for fighting monsters. Rika wonders if this is some kind of game. Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika muses that her wish was granted and she is now dating her crush, yet she feels deeply unhappy. When Kyubey asks what is wrong, she admits that every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens with unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mayu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mayu is a third-year student at Mizuna Academy who works part-time at the Kamihama Contemporary Art Museum. When she accidentally breaks the museum director&#039;s cup, her boss handles the situation calmly and kindly. After work, she meets her friend Sayuki Fumino outside the museum, and when Sayuki cannot stay, Mayu&#039;s boss offers to accompany her to an exhibit instead. They later go to a cafe, where Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi are also present. Ria grows increasingly annoyed overhearing Mayu&#039;s conversation with her boss, particularly when he hints at wanting to take her somewhere else and praises her cooking. At home that evening, Mayu cooks for her mother and asks if her father would have eaten her cooking, wondering what life would be like if he were still alive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayu Kozue#Side Story|Mayu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at school, Mayu talks with Sayuki about the sword exhibit. She then heads to work, and after her shift ends, her boss mentions his wife and child are away and invites her out to eat. Mayu declines. As she leaves, she forgets her phone, and her boss rushes to return it, asking again about dinner with growing intensity. Ria suddenly appears and bumps into him, yelling at them for flirting and demanding they sit for a lecture. Mayu&#039;s boss says she ruined it and leaves. Ria warns Mayu that her sweet, innocent air attracts older men and that if things continue, his family will fall apart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home that night, Mayu reflects on the day she learned of her father&#039;s death and on Ria&#039;s words. Kyubey appears and offers a contract. Thinking she does not want her boss&#039;s family to suffer the same hardship her family did, Mayu makes her wish: to stop his family from breaking apart. That night, she narrates that her boss transferred to a new job, and she is sure her wish was granted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later at school, Mayu finds boys have started hitting on her. Ria constantly steps in to drive them off. Before Ria can finish telling Mayu to shape up, they both sense a Witch. The girls reveal they are Magical Girls, and they track the Witch to the museum&#039;s special exhibit room. Sayuki suddenly appears and reveals she is also a Magical Girl. During the fight, Mayu notices the Witch only targets Ria. She asks Sayuki to lend her strength and launches a surprise attack, destroying the Witch. Afterward, Mayu thinks that to protect people she must think clearly before acting, and Ria admits Mayu was more reliable than usual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As a child, Sayuki attends an idol performance with her parents, but when the crowd becomes dangerously wild, she is almost squeezed to death, leaving her with lasting trauma.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayuki Fumino#Side Story|Sayuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Growing up in a happy family, Sayuki develops a deep interest in katanas that creates a gap between her and her classmates. Though they respect her passion, she feels lonely without someone to share it with. This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert.

===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka. Moka thanks Alina for saving her and says she has now made new friends, resolving to devote herself to exterminating witches and admitting she is only a little afraid of them now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Riko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Sis = Miss K. Check what Exedra says&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Years ago, Riko spent her childhood with a cheerful older neighbor girl she called &amp;quot;Sis&amp;quot; while her parents worked long hours at their family bento shop. They grew as close as sisters until Sis became engaged to marry someone far away. When Sis&#039;s father suddenly opposed the match despite approving it before, Riko wished upon Kyubey that everyone would give their blessings to the marriage. Her wish worked, and Sis moved away happily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Riko Chiaki#Side Story|Riko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Riko struggles with loneliness waiting alone at home while her parents work overtime. One night, after they call to say they cannot return until after midnight due to a huge order, years of broken promises finally overwhelm her. She snaps, calls them liars who were never there for her like Sis was, and tells them she hates them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko goes Witch hunting to vent her stress but nearly dies against a stronger Witch. In that moment, despair crushes her and she wishes she had never made her wish so Sis would still be there. Tsukasa, a regular at her family&#039;s shop, finds her crying and listens as Riko confides everything about her feelings and what happened with Sis. Speaking from experience, Tsukasa tells her that separation is no excuse for broken contact and recommends she reach out to Sis directly. Riko messages Sis that night before falling asleep exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sis replies promptly. She explains she wanted to contact Riko but left home after arguing with her father and thought a visit would be awkward. She also reveals she was hospitalized to give birth and only discharged that day, inviting Riko to come see her instead. When Riko asks her parents for permission, expecting them to refuse, they apologize sincerely and grant permission for the trip.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Riko visits Sis with her parents. Sis introduces her husband and newborn daughter, hoping Riko will get along with her child just as they once got along. Riko makes a silent promise to be a good sister to this baby and aims to grow into a fine lady, just like Sis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maria&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Maria bids her parents goodbye for the day. Her mother gives her money for dinner, which Maria insists on keeping only a small portion of, and Maria mentions she will be at her part‑time daycare job after school. On her way to school, she runs into two little girls, one of whom attends the daycare where she works.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the daycare, the children swarm Maria with requests. She notices a boy named Shin‑kun looking down and tries to find out what is wrong, but he does not want to talk. Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work. Maria suggests she spend a day with Shin to reconnect, and Shin’s mother agrees. Maria promises to put together a plan by the weekend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Maria’s classmates tease her about being a widow with a love child, and she plays along before explaining she is helping a mother and son from the daycare. Later she presents her weekend plans to Shin’s mother, who is impressed and begins looking forward to the outing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, Maria goes to the park where she knows Shin and his mother should be. She watches as they struggle to connect: Shin wants to play in a fountain, but his mother cannot explain why he should not, and they end up standing awkwardly. Maria pretends to run into them and decides to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to the playground, where Maria encourages Shin to try a tightrope bridge. When he gets nervous, she prompts his mother to take his hand, and together they cross. After lunch, Shin’s mother gets a call from work asking her to come in on her day off. She agrees, and Shin looks heartbroken. Maria offers to watch Shin until dark, and his mother gratefully accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria takes Shin to various places, and he sadly remarks that his mother is too busy for him. Understanding his loneliness, Maria vows to make the day special. At the aquarium she convinces him to see a show he ends up loving. As evening falls, they stop for takoyaki, and Maria explains that his mother tells him not to eat while walking for good reasons. Shin finally understands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shin’s mother appears, explaining work no longer needs her. She admits she has trouble expressing herself, but Shin overhears and hugs her. They both confess they thought the other did not love them. Maria shares that she was often lonely as a child but still loved her parents, and she tells Shin’s mother she does not need to be perfect. Shin shows his mother the souvenir and the last piece of takoyaki he saved for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As darkness falls, Maria walks home alone. She reflects on whether she could ever be a good mother, remembering Kyubey’s revelation that her Soul Gem is her actual soul and her body is merely a vessel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mel&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mel stays home after her reading warns of lethal danger, but Kanagi dismisses her concerns and drags her to school anyway. On the way, a Witch targets only Mel before escaping, and a possessed car then attempts to run her down. She flees west into the Mizuno region, where Yachiyo saves her. Despite Kanagi&#039;s warnings about discrimination from the West, Yachiyo&#039;s kindness puts her at ease, and Mel accepts her invitation to stay. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she requests to join Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kanagi gives permission. From that day, Mel bonds with Mifuyu, Tsuruno, and Momoko as part of her new team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One other day, Mel arrives excitedly with entirely positive readings and offers to read the team&#039;s fortunes. Despite Yachiyo&#039;s skepticism, Mel coaxes her into a session predicting a career breakthrough.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Yachiyo announces with disbelief that she was chosen for a nationwide magazine feature on Kamihama&#039;s cafes. Mifuyu and Momoko then receive positive readings about a matchmaking and exam results.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes. Afterward they visit Mitama, who suggests they train in Endless Mirrors if they plan to remain independent rather than join Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Temari and Mikura commute to school exhausted. Temari stayed up testing a new metal pen, and Mikura correctly guesses she is in modern literature mode.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Temari is distracted thinking about Witch strategies while Mikura worries about Seira, who had fallen asleep in class from exhaustion. Seira joins them, and Temari suggests they create their own space to escape the stress of magical girl life. Seira proposes forming a school club where they can pursue their hobbies freely, and they agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Seira secures an empty classroom as a provisional club room under the name Historical Research Club. On paper they study history, but in reality it becomes their oasis for reading, watching films, and relaxing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the girls are enjoying their club activities, yet Temari still feels unsettled about not knowing her magic. Mikura reflects that they have been following Temari’s suggestions lately—staying independent, creating the club—but says she will mention it if she notices anything. When Mikura asks what Temari is reading, Temari replies she is still on the same author, and Mikura calls her as unpredictable as ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Last part is after the tea drinking moon party&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hotori and her twin Rion prepare for a school camping trip. Hotori gets distracted watching her favorite sentai show, Dragoon Red, and Rion teases her for still liking children’s fantasy. Hotori wants to bring her notebook of heroic quotes, but Rion tells her not to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At camp, Hotori’s group hikes through the forest. She is frightened by insects, and when Rion appears and drives her friends away, Hotori ends up scolded for letting her sister interfere. Reading quotes from her heroes, she manages to calm herself and finishes the hike feeling she has changed a little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During archery, Hotori struggles to pull the bowstring but remembers Dragoon Red’s words about perseverance and manages to shoot. Rion performs better, but Hotori’s friends cheer her up. Rion later mentions the night’s test of courage, and though Hotori is scared, she refuses to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

There Hotori realizes she left her notebook behind; Rion goes back to retrieve it but does not return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotori lies to the teachers and searches the forest. She finds Kyubey, who offers her a contract: any wish in exchange for becoming a magical girl who fights witches. When she finds Rion acting strangely, Kyubey explains Rion has a witch’s kiss. Rion enters a witch’s barrier, and Hotori follows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Months later, Hotori now fights witches with a team. During one battle she freezes and is saved by Rion and Yukika Nanase. Yukika asks about Hotori’s notebook, and Hotori explains she wants to be brave like the sentai heroes. Yukika privately knows the truth from another timeline: the twins’ memories were altered by Rion’s wish, and Hotori’s original wish may have been to become strong enough to protect Rion. Hotori, unaware, continues striving to be a hero.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Riko later invites her to an accessory shop in Sakae Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ashleyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ashley Taylor#Side Story|Ashley&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shop, Ashley admires a gurokawa hairclip and explains the style to Riko. They run into Emiri Kisaki and Rika Ayano, who nickname her Ash. Rika tells them about a spot in Hokuyo Ward famous among manga fans.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ashleyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ashley Taylor#Side Story|Ashley&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At that spot, Ashley and Riko bond over Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and meet Karin Misono, another fan. The three explore together before Ashley and Riko part ways with Karin.

** Riko’s parents give Ashley croquettes as thanks. Watching Riko with her family makes Ashley homesick. She confides that her mother is an actress who often visited Japan, sparking Ashley’s love for kawaii culture. Her father opposed her studying abroad without explanation, so Ashley wished for his approval with Kyubey and became a magical girl. She feels guilty about it now. Riko suggests she make a vlog of her time in Kamihama to show her father how happy she is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ashleyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ashley Taylor#Side Story|Ashley&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

He says he watched the video and gives his wholehearted support for her studies abroad, making her tear up with joy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ashleyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ashley Taylor#Side Story|Ashley&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Ashley receives a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear. Before she can enjoy it, her mother video calls with the news that her father has passed away. Ashley realizes he was ill and had lost weight when they last spoke. She regrets her wish, believing it cost her time with him. The teddy bear falls over, and she takes it as a sign to honor his last words: to do what she loves most in the place she loves so much.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ashleyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ashley Taylor#Side Story|Ashley&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ikumi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On an unnamed day, Ikumi feels sad that her Magius robes hide her cuteness and searches for Ryo, finding her in a common room looking upset. Ryo asks to interview Ikumi for a Magius newsletter about why she became a magical girl, and Ikumi agrees in exchange for hearing Ryo&#039;s story later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ikumi Makino#Side Story|Ikumi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi explains how in middle school she dreamed of becoming an idol despite lacking talent, while her friend Yumi dreamed of volleyball. They realized they could fulfill each other&#039;s dreams instead. Yumi became a volleyball ace while Ikumi pursued idol training, though she struggled because her natural personality kept slipping through her cutesy act and she failed to gain recognition. Kyubey repeatedly offered her a contract, but she refused because wishing for her dream would mean she never achieved it through hard work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In high school, Ikumi worked at a school-organized maid cafe that gave struggling students performance opportunities. Though other girls were scouted for idol work and customers called her old-fashioned, she built a small fanbase. When the cafe was forced to close due to building eviction, Ikumi grieved alone on the final night. Kyubey appeared and reminded her that her wish didn&#039;t have to be for her own dream. Thinking of how much the cafe meant to her and others who dreamed there, she wished for it to continue running.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her wish came true when the landowner, moved by the final performance, sold the cafe to the school who remodeled and reopened it. Later, while fighting a witch, Ikumi was saved by another magical girl who turned out to be Yumi. Yumi revealed she had wished for someone to recognize Ikumi&#039;s talents and give her an idol chance. The two teamed up and spent a happy year together hunting witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day they encountered a powerful witch who badly injured Yumi&#039;s leg, threatening her sports scholarship. In despair, Yumi unleashed her doppel. Ryo appeared and helped them escape, and Mitama later explained about doppels. Soon after, Mifuyu approached them with a healer who restored Yumi&#039;s leg. Mifuyu explained about witches and the Wings of Magius, who aimed to liberate magical girls from this fate. Ikumi immediately joined, grateful for Yumi&#039;s healing and hating the thought of losing her dream or becoming a witch. Yumi eventually joined too, and Mifuyu introduced them as Black Feathers to Ryo, who recognized Ikumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Ryo thanks Ikumi for her story and suggests she stop forcing the idol personality since she naturally slips out of it anyway. Ikumi cries about being bullied before realizing she is late for work and runs off, promising to see Ryo tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* At Kosho Academy, Seira Mihono searches for a protagonist with a secret for her new film. Her classmates suggest Rui, a mysterious girl who never talks about herself. Rui, who knows the rumors are untrue, feels guilty.

===Akari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari wakes Hotaru after school. Hotaru notices Akari&#039;s Puchi-Usa keychain, which Haruto drew for her when she was young. Akari decides to tell Hotaru about her wish and how she became a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akari Mai#Side Story|Akari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari explains that she has always loved Haruto, but he treats her only as a little sister. When Haruto entered high school, he stopped walking with her due to club activities. Akari heard a rumor that Haruto was dating his club manager. Distressed, she wished to Kyubey to become 16 years old like Mimiko-chan, the transforming heroine she admired.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her wish only allowed her to transform temporarily. She turned back into an elementary schooler afterward. Akari regretted not wishing for everyone to perceive her as 16 from the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Akari patrolled for Witches and found Haruto under a Witch&#039;s Kiss. She saved him in her 16-year-old form. Haruto did not recognize her and thanked her as a stranger. He gave her his jacket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The bunny Nene died. Akari cried. Haruto came to give her a new Puchi-Usa keychain but hid it when he saw her crying. He comforted her and told her it was okay to cry. Akari loved his kindness and subtle thoughtfulness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari ran into Haruto while patrolling. Haruto was looking for the 16-year-old girl. Akari became jealous and badmouthed her 16-year-old self, calling her suspicious and a liar. Haruto got angry at Akari for speaking ill of someone she did not know. Akari ran away, feeling she was not worthy of him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari hid in an alley. Haruto came looking for her. A Witch appeared, and Haruto was under another Witch&#039;s Kiss. Hotaru appeared and caught Haruto with a pillow before he could jump. Hotaru and Akari defeated the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotaru revealed she had been watching over Akari since the bunny hutch. She told Akari that her kindness was one of her good points. Akari realized the 16-year-old version Haruto fell for was still a part of her. Hotaru encouraged her to apologize properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari, still in her 16-year-old form, lied to Haruto that she had taken Akari under her protection. Haruto was relieved and admitted he was too harsh with Akari. He said he did not want her to become someone who speaks ill of others. Akari apologized to Haruto in person. Haruto forgave her and said he was proud of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari resolved to become a wonderful adult on her own, without magic, and capture Haruto&#039;s heart when she was truly 16. She thanked Hotaru for giving her the push to apologize but Hotaru fell asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ryoko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryoko’s story begins at Suitoku Temple, the Tokime Tribe’s base, which was slated for demolition while officials hid the harm it would cause.

Raised by her grandfather in a strict Buddhist temple, she is told her mother was a hero who saved the country yet died and left her behind.

===Kush&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama’s adjuster shop, Karin Misono finds Kush sleeping inside the tent. Mitama explains that Kush cannot stay awake during the day due to her wish: “I just want the morning to never come.” Kush reveals she made her wish because she longed to live in a fantasy world like the one in her favorite book, &#039;Good‑Bye Fable,&#039; and her magical girl outfit resembles the story’s protagonist. Ui Tamaki and Little Kyubey arrive, and Kush briefly attacks Little Kyubey, mistaking him for the Kyubey she despises. Over tea, Mitama notices Kush’s long canine teeth stained red and later receives a message from her sister Mikage about a rumor of a vampire girl in the Hokuyo Mountains. Karin and Kush agree to investigate together, but Kush runs off to her night class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kush can see in the dark and leads them, but she is still sleepy. They find a discarded camera containing a video of Rui Mizuki dropping it and disappearing. When a mysterious sound frightens the others, they accidentally leave Kush behind. Left alone, Kush eats cherry tomatoes and senses a witch. The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one. They also learn that Rui is Kush’s friend; she had filmed Kush entering the barrier before being caught by it. The group later glimpses a white‑haired silhouette and flees, thinking a real vampire might exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley posts a video warning others to stay away from the mountains. At Mitama’s shop, Ui hears about the incident and learns the vampire was just a misunderstanding.

===Homura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Homura Akemi in Magia Record#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is flooded with more memories of her other self preparing for Walpurgisnacht with allies. She wonders if there might be a real possibility for salvation in this timeline, where no one has to be sacrificed. However, she believes it has nothing to do with her. She breaks out of the labyrinth and the dream ends. Kyubey asks if she was curious about what happened to her other self. Homura says it does not matter; she believes in Madoka&#039;s words that her efforts will not be in vain. A new universe is about to be born, and Homura must protect it for Madoka&#039;s sake. Kyubey states they will both forget Madoka, but Homura is determined to never forget her.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new universe where Witches do not exist, Kyoko is surprised to find Sayaka has disappeared. Mami explains the Law of Cycles causes Magical Girls to disappear when they lose hope. Homura cries as she remembers Madoka, but neither Mami nor Kyoko know who Madoka is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka spend the day together in Kamihama, enjoying each other’s company until they encounter Ria Ami, a model and magical girl who has already defeated the witch they were tracking.

===Ultimate&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart. She also finds Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, who were never supposed to become magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Panicking because she cannot prevent magical girls from becoming witches in this universe, Madoka investigates. She discovers the source blocking her intervention originated when the Holy Quintet first visited Kamihama, and she observes how Touka and Nemu—fated to die in every other universe—are alive and plotting with the Magius to lure Walpurgis Night to hatch Eve. Madoka reflects that their plan, if successful, would achieve what she herself accomplished. Unsure whether to intervene, she decides to investigate further and chooses Iroha as her next focal point, since this is the only universe where Iroha contracted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka observes Iroha’s past and finds the singular difference: on a normal day, Iroha took her usual shortcut but accidentally kicked a small pebble, nearly making her late. This tiny butterfly effect led to Iroha contracting and Ui, Nemu, and Touka surviving, derailing the universe’s fate. Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Oriko sends Kirika to Kamihama under the pretense of buying tea, instructing her to gather information from Mami and other magical girls there. She then takes Yuma to Kamihama herself, leaving her inside a witch barrier knowing Kyoko will come to rescue her. While exploring Kamihama for answers, Oriko nearly dies inside a powerful witch barrier and realizes she needs Kirika&#039;s help to continue.

* After Mitakihara City’s school closing ceremony, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura walk out together. Sayaka is glad the term is over, Madoka is excited, and Homura admits she will feel lonely without seeing them every day. Sayaka ruffles her hair and says they can still meet over break, whether hunting witches or hanging out. Madoka suggests visiting Mizuna Shrine in Kamihama for New Year’s to draw “Ultimate Fortunes.” Sayaka has other plans but encourages them to go together. After she leaves, Madoka asks Homura if she knows how to put on formal wear. Homura does not, so Madoka invites her to a kimono‑dressing class she found, saying she wanted the two of them to dress up with Sayaka but lacked the courage to go alone. Homura agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class, the instructor dresses them first; Madoka thinks Homura looks beautiful, and Homura calls Madoka cute. When the actual lesson begins, Madoka struggles badly and trips, while Homura learns quickly enough that the instructor says she will have no trouble. Madoka takes a break outside, feeling useless. Sayaka happens by and asks why she wanted to dress up in the first place - to have fun. Sayaka tells her not to overthink; even if she makes mistakes, she will still have the memories.

The mission completes, but they are sent back to the start again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes again: help a child who lost something. They find Tsukuyo waiting. She dropped the exchange diary. Homura and Madoka take her to the Information Desk to reclaim it. Madoka remembers Tsukasa was last seen near a specific area. They wait there and finally reunite the twins. They also tell Aimi that Hayato wants a warm scarf. Everyone ends up happy. Homura and Madoka reach the goal without regrets. Homura reflects that she does not want the dream to last longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka learns the meaning of &amp;quot;When winter comes, spring isn&#039;t far behind&amp;quot; at the end of December. Just before New Year&#039;s Eve, Madoka asks if anyone has plans for the holiday. Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko and Nagisa meet the teacher and children at the park. The kids immediately recognize Kyoko, so the pair double down on the movie lie. The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the performance, Kyoko and Sayaka use quick‑change costumes while Nagisa sneaks discarded clothes off set. The children are awed by the glowing weapons and effects, explained with lighting tricks and soap bubbles. After the class leaves, the group reviews the footage and decides to keep a copy. Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko returns the props to Sayuki, then visits an aquarium to pass time. As she leaves, she spots the same kindergarteners, detects a witch, and rushes to fight it. She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She is hunting for discounted Valentine&#039;s chocolate. She visits Sugar Plum but finds the chocolate coins sold out. She runs into Kyoko. They keep encountering each other at multiple stores and realize they are both after the same Valentine&#039;s Day exclusive Pink Tapir chocolate coins. They form an alliance to share information and split the chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe (Valentine)#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Valentine Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Pink Tapir station store, a clerk informs them the sale has moved to a new outlet location and gives them a map. On the way, a delivery truck carrying the chocolate coins is possessed by a Witch&#039;s Kiss and goes on a rampage. Nagisa and Kyoko chase it, jump onto the truck, and enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Nagisa uses her forbidden technique to defeat the Witch. The truck and other vehicles are unharmed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the outlet store and buy the chocolate coins. Nagisa reflects on her memory of eating Pink Tapir chocolate coins for the first time at a hospital charity event when her mother was sick. She wonders if this universe&#039;s Nagisa would have had the same experience. She and Kyoko hurry to Mami&#039;s chocolate party. Kyoko reveals she bought a chocolate cake from Sugar Plum for everyone. Nagisa shares her pink chocolate coins. Mami is happy they are getting along. The next day, the chocolate hunt continues. At the outlet store, Ms. Saotome buys chocolate coins for a hospital charity event, continuing the tradition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Ria, Mayu, and Manaka give the sisters their rented beach space, and the sisters end up spending the day with Team Yachiyo in a water pistol shooting match. They have more fun than they expected, but Tsukuyo suffers a heat stroke and is cared for by the group after Tsukasa panics. When Tsukasa tries to repay the favor, Yachiyo jokes that she should quit the Wings of Magius, then smiles when Tsukasa refuses as expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Miyako’s team wins after Yachiyo avoids stepping on a rare hermit crab, but everyone agrees Tsukasa has repaid her debt, and the sisters admit they had a wonderful time. They end the day drinking juice Yachiyo bought for them and buying matching crescent moon accessories in different colors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo announces that everyone must complete ten pages of homework per subject per day before they can play.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rena &amp;amp; Kaede (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena negotiates with Yachiyo: if they can finish all three days&#039; worth of homework in one day, they can play at the beach tomorrow. Everyone agrees. They study hard together. Rena suggests a reward system to stay motivated. They shout encouragement like at an idol concert. Yachiyo and Momoko help with difficult problems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Rena and Kaede catch a pufferfish but come in second place. Kanagi wins first place and gets stuck with Mitama&#039;s cooking. Mifuyu is affected first.

Yachiyo goes shopping alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They browse swimsuits, but Mitama insists on choosing thoughtfully rather than buying on a whim. They separate briefly, and Mitama runs into Mikage, deflecting questions about what she’s doing.

Instead of buying swimsuits, Mitama brings Momoko back for an adjustment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The group spends the day swimming, building a sandcastle, and splitting into smaller activities. While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond. Madoka reflects that the thing she could only do here was to reunite the two women and give them peace. Her friends call her for one last swim, and she runs off to join them, already thinking of returning to the island someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story and Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
It has two versions I made, assimilate them if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomuradsSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

** At registration, Mitama announces all participants must wear swimwear, offering to transform their outfits for free. Homura is surprisingly excited, and Sayaka gets roped into wearing a ridiculous mushroom‑mermaid costume designed by Kanoko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many familiar magical girls attend as participants or catering staff. Hazuki reveals her hatred of worms, Konoha faints from watching bait wriggle, and various mishaps begin piling up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka in her costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The non‑waterproof suit causes Sayaka to be electrocuted by its built‑in fan, but her Doppel activates and saves her. The Doppel drags Yachiyo into the water, and Yachiyo begins water‑skiing using her fishing rod while being pulled around.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura manages to fish up the Doppel and wins the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other&#039;s backs. Homura happily agrees, ending the day on a warm note.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Homura confronts her Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying summer and relying on Madoka’s kindness. The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurads&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura visit a seaside villa on the outskirts of Kamihama. They meet Felicia and her friends briefly. After parting ways, they decide to visit an aquarium. They participate in an accessory-making workshop using star sand. Inside the aquarium, they meet Ashley, an exchange student from the United States, and Riko. Ashley recognizes them as Magical Girls from Mitakihara because she encountered their copies in Endless Mirrors. They chat and learn Ashley is making videos about kawaii things in Japan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Waverider)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After parting ways with Ashley and Riko, Sayaka wants to visit a CD store. She hopes to find rare CDs for Kyosuke. At the store, she reaches for the same CD as a woman. They discover they both use notepads to track CDs. The woman is Takamine&#039;s wife—Takamine was a violinist who passed away. She collects his recordings to show her daughter. They exchange contact information. Sayaka mentions the upcoming flea market.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Sayaka, Madoka, Homura, Mami, Kyoko, and Nagisa visit the flea market together. They meet Ashley and Riko again. They split into groups. Sayaka and Kyoko go together. They eat lunch and shaved ice. Ashley records their conversation. Madoka and Homura leave early for Witch patrol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka&#039;s group meets Takamine&#039;s wife and daughter. A strong wind blows the daughter&#039;s hat into the ocean. Sayaka and Kyoko transform into swimsuits and ride a surfboard to retrieve it, using Nagisa&#039;s floaty as a distraction. The hat is recovered. Takamine&#039;s wife realizes she lost her notepad. Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while waiting, Nagisa and Riko play with water guns. Sayaka&#039;s group relaxes on the beach. Madoka and Homura find Sayaka&#039;s copy in Mirrors. The copy lures them into a trap, but they manage to get the CD list from her and escape. They send it to Sayaka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Takamine&#039;s wife identifies the CDs she was looking for. Sayaka buys a souvenir for Kyosuke. They enjoy the rest of the day at the beach.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Mami&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, Homura, Madoka, and Sayaka fight a Witch. They rescue a taxi driver who was captured. He is confused but fine. They help him find his car. Afterward, Homura feels bad for failing to finish off the Witch. Mami suggests they have a review meeting at her place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring. They plan for future fights: Sayaka will handle Familiars, Madoka and Homura will immobilize the Witch, and Mami will finish it off. Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the team encounters a paramedic and a girl under a Witch&#039;s influence. They enter the Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. The paramedic wakes up and thanks them and the team slips away quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of school after summer vacation, Mami calls Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura to the roof. Kyoko and Nagisa fought a powerful Witch and retreated. They warn the others and the team meets to plan. Kyoko and Nagisa will immobilize the Witch while Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura handle the Familiars. Mami will finish it off with her new firework attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The ext morning, the Witch appears and the team executes their plan. Mami uses a powerful firework attack, which she names &amp;quot;Fiore Finale,&amp;quot; to defeat the Witch. They rescue the captured people. A paramedic from earlier recognizes them and offers to take care of the victims. The team rushes to school but is late.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A taxi driver from the previous encounter sees them and gives them a ride. He thanks them for protecting the town. They arrive at school just in time. Mami is glad her hard work paid off and feels happy to be thanked. She looks forward to continuing to protect the town with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko invites Homura, Mami, Sayaka, and Madoka to the beach using tickets Mitama gave her after another accidental transformation into her magical swimsuit. The group swims, then Kyoko dominates the buffet. They discover a cliff diving spot, where Sayaka, Mami, and Kyoko take turns jumping while Madoka and Homura watch. They agree to return the day after next, since Madoka is busy the following day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kyoko asks Mitama to let her keep the swimsuit form for the summer, then heads to the beach alone. There she finds Ui Tamaki practicing swimming by herself, desperate to learn by the next day so she can join her family cliff diving. Kyoko watches over her, and later Sayaka arrives to help. Ui improves, but a rip current nearly sweeps her away; Kyoko rescues her. Moved by Ui’s determination, Kyoko keeps training her until sunset, and Ui finally masters swimming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully. Later, Kyoko visits Mitama to revert her outfit, explaining she wants to learn swimming properly rather than relying on magic. She trades a Grief Seed for money to buy ramune as payment for a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Eternal Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Momoko Togame (Sanctified)#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;

===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi meet again. Mitama shares her realization: her grief has ended. She now wants to make amends and carve a new future for Kamihama. They discuss ideas for the student conference. Kanagi suggests a sports festival. Mitama suggests a festival with food stalls. They joke about romance and love interests. Mitama feels lighter and ready to move forward. She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at the Wings of Magius, Alina asks Nemu to create a rumor for her. She will let it grow, then take it into herself and use it to achieve her greatest goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Touka and Nemu separately sneak to Ui’s room to leave apology notes. They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the real world, Tsuruno gives gelato to Ui and Felicia. Ui is absorbed in playing a game called &amp;quot;Little Vacation&amp;quot; on Tsuruno&#039;s phone. The game follows Tsuruno and Felicia as Reindeer Santas traveling to reach the End of the World and the Wishing Star.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia (Special Delivery)#Side Story|Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno uses the Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a hint: &amp;quot;The key is something you don&#039;t know the importance of until it&#039;s gone. This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The girls encourage Tsuruno and Felicia to leave since they were not originally trapped. Tsuruno and Felicia walk out easily. They promise to return once they find a way to free everyone. They leave, having failed to deliver smiles for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Town of Miraculous ☆ Prestidigitations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the next town. They meet Mitama, a magician performing tricks, and twins Rion and Hotori. Mitama attempts to teleport Hotori but accidentally duplicates her. There are now two Hotoris. Tsuruno and Felicia try to help. The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win. The duplicates are left behind. The single Tsuruno who lost is left alone without Reindeer-san #2 or the Okamochi Box. She decides to continue traveling anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; The three Tsurunos reunite and discuss the hints from the Okamochi Box. They realize &amp;quot;three heads are better than one&amp;quot; refers to them working together to solve the Maze Town puzzle. They also realize the key in Maze Town was a &amp;quot;smile&amp;quot;—something Ren had lost along the way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game. Game Tsuruno is surprised, saying the actual people probably do not play the game anymore.

===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents. Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia return home and ask to hear the full story, so Yachiyo retrieves the scarf from the time capsule where she had hidden it years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren plan for their friends’ Christmas party a week away and promise to spend Christmas Eve together. While looking at options in a magazine, they cannot decide on a place. Ren buys the magazine to think it over, privately hoping to choose somewhere that will make Rika happy, though she doubts whether she truly belongs beside her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ren visits Emiri’s consultation room but finds only Akira and Ria Ami. She explains her dilemma, and Ria takes her around town to evaluate possible locations. They rule out a restaurant, an amusement park, and a romantic cafe, eventually settling on the Minagi Aquarium. Ria is surprised to learn Ren is planning an outing with Rika, not a boyfriend, but Ren leaves feeling confident in her choice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Christmas Eve, Rika attends a party with her school friends. When she mentions she will spend Christmas Eve at the aquarium with a friend, her friends press to join, but Rika refuses. She advises them not to look for boyfriends just to avoid being alone. Later, while walking with her friends, Rika spots Ren chasing after Aimi Eri. She follows and finds Ren comforting Aimi over a misunderstanding involving a boy; the situation resolves without trouble.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Ren waits for Rika, who messages that she overslept with a fever. Ren worries Rika became sick chasing after her the day before. Before she can reply, Aimi finds her, and they go shopping together. Aimi encourages Ren to visit Rika instead of staying apart. Ren goes to Rika’s house, knocks on her window, and insists they spend Christmas together there so Rika can rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They exchange gifts: Ren gives Rika scented candles, having noticed Rika’s interest from a sticky note, and Rika gives Ren a glass candlestick. Rika hopes they can visit the aquarium another time, and Ren leaves happy to have shared Christmas with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, assimilate them if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumor Tsuruno begins designing the park, adding a merry-go-round, roller coaster, spa, shops, and a cafe. The mascots warn that once the park is complete, she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world. Rumor Tsuruno claims no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she imagines comfort foods with hot pot as the main star, she is reminded of Mikazuki Villa. She brushes it off and completes the park. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Uwasa Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana looks at a Mr. Purrs-a-lot picture book and feels down. Ui notices and asks what is wrong. Sana admits she wants to become a picture book author to help people who are suffering like she once was. She has many ideas but does not know how to write them. Ui encourages her. Sana says she is starting from zero and needs to practice writing. Ui suggests she settle on one main idea. Sana recalls a story about the Rice God from Yachiyo and decides to write a practice story about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana writes a story about the Rice God punishing Felicia for not finishing her rice. Ui enjoys it. Sana realizes she also needs to entertain readers while conveying her message. She decides her first picture book theme will be &amp;quot;friends.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana and Ui discuss the main character. Sana models her after Ai, the Uwasa of the Anonymous A.I. She names the heroine Aoi. Sana writes the first part of the story: Aoi leaves the &amp;quot;Land of Beginnings&amp;quot; and arrives at the &amp;quot;Land of Blessings,&amp;quot; where residents constantly fight. Aoi suggests a picnic to help them understand each other. The residents grow closer. Ui enjoys the story. Sana reveals she wants to leave behind proof of Ai&#039;s existence before she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana asks Nemu for permission to use a character modelled after Ai in her picture book. Nemu agrees, saying she is happy Sana wishes to preserve Ai. Nemu advises Sana on how to become a published author: enter contests or approach publishers directly. Sana becomes discouraged when she realizes she would have to interact with people who cannot see her. She leaves feeling hopeless.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana wanders alone, feeling invisible. She helps a girl find a lost ring but is not noticed. She thinks her dream is impossible. Tsuruno, Felicia, and Ui find her, worried because she was not answering calls. Iroha and Yachiyo also arrive. Nemu calls and suggests Sana could use an agent to communicate with publishers, avoiding direct meetings. Sana regains her resolve. Yachiyo tells her not to give up on her dream. Iroha and the others promise to support her. Sana realizes she has a family to help her get back up.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana finishes her first picture book, &amp;quot;A Small Encounter.&amp;quot; The story follows Shana, an invisible girl who is found by Aoi and makes her first friend. Sana decides to show it to everyone and get their thoughts. She promises to keep persevering for Ai&#039;s sake and for everyone who supports her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 1 (Flashback/Reflection)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi wakes from a nap and remembers the dream she had when fused with the Kimochi. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words that helped her realize she had not truly given up. Iroha told her that those who have given up do not fight, and that Lavi came to Kamihama because she still wanted to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro (Kimochi)#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects on the hope she once held—a daydream of a peaceful life where magical girls are understood. In that dream, she helped her mother, tended fields with her grandfather, watched Urara&#039;s street performances, and attended exhibitions with Shirogane. She encountered other magical girls: Asahi, Haitani, Kuroda, Urara, and Alexandra. They fought witches together and enjoyed everyday moments. Lavi realized she had locked away this hope because remembering it was painful. But now, through her connection with Iroha and her time with Nayuta, she has begun to see the future again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 2 (Daydream/Desired Future)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi dreams of a happy future where the Automatic Purification System has spread and peace has come. She, Nayuta, and Mikage go on a trip to Yukuni. They encounter many acquaintances: Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and Mikazuki Villa. Due to a scheduling mistake, everyone arrives at the same inn on the same day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** There is not enough premium beef for dinner. The groups compete in hot spring table tennis, karaoke, and pillow fights to decide who gets the meat. Yuna cheats in table tennis and is disqualified. The karaoke machine is outdated. The pillow fight becomes chaotic. Asahi saves the day with gibier meat. Everyone shares the meal and enjoys the evening together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects that this bustling, noisy future is unlike her usual self, but she realizes she has been yearning for it deep down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 3 (Reality/Current Time)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi teaches Nayuta cooking. They discuss their futures: Nayuta wants to study magical girls at a university different from her father&#039;s. Lavi wants to help at her family&#039;s inn while spreading magical girl activities. They plan a trip with Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Upon arriving at Cradle of the Earth in Yukuni, they encounter Mikazuki Villa, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and the Tokime Clan—just as in Lavi&#039;s dream. There is again not enough meat for dinner. Lavi is overwhelmed but also excited. She realizes that even if the past cannot be undone, they can move forward together and create a bright future. She announces they will compete over the meat and create a new future with all of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Yachiyo wakes at Mikazuki Villa and briefly senses Iroha&#039;s magical signature before it disappears. She sends Felicia and Sana off to school, then meets Momoko, Rena, and Kaede for lunch. Rena confesses she screamed in class, unable to contain her frustration that everyone has forgotten Iroha. Yachiyo realizes she had convinced herself she accepted Iroha&#039;s disappearance but had actually just given up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo meets with Mifuyu, Kanagi, and Hinano to discuss Magical Girls&#039; declining mental states. That evening, she finds Sana&#039;s discarded picture book manuscript.

* Yachiyo brings the group to the radio tower observatory, where they sense Iroha&#039;s magical signature radiating from above, confirming she is still working to save Magical Girls. Felicia is absent. Later, Yachiyo meets with Yuna, Shizuka, Himena, and Lavi to discuss the ongoing grief before departing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo attends the Kamihama Student Conference results meeting, where Mifuyu notes Rena has improved since seeing Iroha&#039;s signature. Yachiyo receives a call from Tsuruno: Felicia has run away. That evening, Felicia calls, planning to leave Kamihama to escape her guilt. Yachiyo tracks her location and rushes to the station with Tsuruno. Tsuruno finds Felicia, who confesses she cannot forget Iroha. Tsuruno shares Yachiyo&#039;s message: they should say &amp;quot;thank you&amp;quot; rather than &amp;quot;I&#039;m sorry.&amp;quot; Felicia agrees and returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome and Aru lead Yachiyo and Felicia to a location near the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Iroha&#039;s presence is stronger. Yachiyo suggests a picnic there. She leaves for a magazine interview, where she admits Iroha is no longer by her side. Later at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo attempts to make Iroha&#039;s hamburger steak recipe but is overwhelmed by grief and retreats to her room, admitting she fears she is breaking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Preparations for the picnic are underway. Yachiyo reveals her true purpose: she plans to use the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura to bring Iroha back by traveling through the Mirror Witch, even offering to take Iroha&#039;s place. When the others refuse to help, she attempts to go alone. Felicia uses her oblivion magic on Yachiyo and she forgets the plan entirely. Yachiyo continues preparing lunch as if nothing happened. They travel to the Rumor for the picnic. Along the way, Yachiyo asks the others to stop her if she ever loses control and tries something insane, admitting she can act on impulse when she loses composure. She also tells them they are all irreplaceable to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;

Need to re-check this. It may already be done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane complain about being overworked as guardians of a Rumor and fear the anger of Touka, Alina, and Nemu. They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - A Taste of Hospitality|A Taste of Hospitality]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko and Ashley help Mitama film a video about her Coordinator services, whre she explains that she adjusts Soul Gems to draw out hidden potential, that she sees memories during adjustments but keeps them confidential, and that she also sells items for Magical Girls. As payment for the video, Riko gives Mitama an origami dog (Mameji) and Ashley gives her blue candy from her home, both of which Mitama puts in a box.&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, Mitama receives many gifts from Magical Girls, including Kokoro, Reira, Mito, Felicia, Ayame, Kako, Yachiyo, Karin, Himika, Rika and Emiri, the last of whom says that when people share their favorite things, it means they want to share what they love with Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama hums happily, which Momoko and Kanagi notice and feel a bad omen. Mitama announces that she wants to share what she loves with everyone and that she plans a party with food that she will cook. She asks Momoko and Kanagi to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;

===Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin===&lt;br /&gt;

* One winter’s day before Christmas, Rika and Ren go shopping together. The town has no Christmas decorations and people seem depressed. They hear a distressed voice and find Mitama, wearing a Santa&#039;s beard and hat, and she introduces herself as a Christmas Spirit. Mitama says her job is to make everyone happy, but the task is too big. She gives Rika and Ren some of her magic, explaining that the magic requires them to be perfectly attuned to each other, and then she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, a swallow Familiar appears, claiming to be Mitama’s pupil and Rika names him Chirpie. Chirpie explains that Mitama saved him when he fell from his nest and gave him magic. He can sense cowardly hearts lacking courage and Rika and Ren must drive out ten cowardly hearts to make the town happy. Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chirpie leads them to Felicia and Sana, who had accidentally smashed a cake and are now arguing about who should apologize to Yachiyo. Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 13th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mitama is away from her shop, but Tsuruno is there, using the kitchen to make chocolate bonbons with a friend. She plans to surprise everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 14th:&#039;&#039;&#039; On Valentine&#039;s Day, Tsuruno gives beautifully wrapped chocolates to Iroha, Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana and Ui at Mikazuki Villa. Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rise of the Waning Moon===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Rise of the Waning Moon|Rise of the Waning Moon]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day during lunch break, Kanagi goes to Himika’s classroom, telling her she just wanted to see her face, which Himika finds strange.&lt;br /&gt;
** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo calls back and confirms they will come.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group arrives at the hotel and Yachiyo&#039;s relative, an older woman, greets them warmly. She says she used to hang out with Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river.

Tsuruno volunteers the group to help until the staff arrives. Yachiyo worries they might cause trouble, but Iroha, Ui, and Sana want to try. They agree to help. Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the next day, the group arrives at the pool for opening day. Yachiyo handles reception. The ticket scanner malfunctions and a line forms. Mitama appears—she had plans with Iroha that were canceled. She offers to help and fixes the scanner by hitting it. The staff member returns and takes over.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama notices Yachiyo has something on her mind and suggests she talk to someone she trusts. Iroha later asks Yachiyo to help with a crowded lunch area. Ui is taking orders with Sana&#039;s invisible help making drinks.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral. Yachiyo admits she was worried about everyone but sees they are doing fine. Iroha tells Yachiyo it is okay to worry because she cares, and they can solve problems together. Iroha notices Yachiyo has been down and offers to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
** A foam machine malfunctions, spewing foam everywhere. A guest slips and falls. The group splits up to clean the foam and help guests. Mitama fixes the machine with a whack. The support staff arrives. The girls finally have time to enjoy the pool.&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models. She does not know what to post and is shy about taking selfies. Iroha suggests posting photos of herself and takes pictures of Yachiyo on a float with the sunset. Yachiyo is embarrassed but agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Tsuruno want a turn on the float. Everyone climbs on, and Mitama takes a group photo just as they all fall into the water. Iroha loves the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the pool photos are popular online. Yachiyo&#039;s manager says going to the pool was a good move. Yachiyo thanks Iroha and says she might take her up on being her photographer again. She sends the group photo to everyone. Iroha says the photo may not be &amp;quot;social media-worthy&amp;quot; but it captures who they are. They agree to go back to the pool again—summer is just getting started.&lt;br /&gt;

They became close and talked openly with each other for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo too formal and uptight, while Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukuyo was devastated.

* Several days later, Tsukasa tells Tsukuyo she does not know the details of how the Magius intend to save them. She shares the full ending of the story they studied—the couple takes their own lives because they fear their love will fade. Tsukasa suggests they do the same. Tsukuyo is horrified but realizes they have no other way out.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night they decide to die, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa meet at the shrine. They decide to destroy their Soul Gems together. They hold hands and count to three. Mifuyu arrives in time to stop them.

&lt;br /&gt;

After the meeting, Nanaka explains to her team that she wanted to observe everyone&#039;s opinions for future use. She reflects on her past—her father fell ill, his pupils took over the school, and the Tokiwa family was left in the dust. On his deathbed, her father asked her to reclaim the school. She wished for the power to evaluate who her enemies truly are. She discovered the true enemy was a Witch she named Locust. She formed a team to seek revenge.&lt;br /&gt;

Her team questions her decision, but she says they will see soon enough.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hazuki&#039;s team confronts Nanaka. They were forced to defeat the Boss Witch because of the &amp;quot;duty&amp;quot; clause. Hazuki says Nanaka played them. Nanaka admits she knew they could do it. Hazuki says they have scores to settle. Hazuki also mentions the Witch was strange, like it was being manipulated.

===Kako Natsume&#039;s Heartphial Story: N&#039;s Confession===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kako Natsume reflects on her life. She lost Natsume Books and her peaceful days once. But she is no longer the fearful girl she used to be. She is a girl who can choose to protect what is dear to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kako is 13 years old. Her parents run Natsume Books, a used bookstore. Books are a huge part of her life. One day, she sees Nanaka loitering by the mailbox, looking distressed. Nanaka drops a letter in the mailbox and runs off. She tells Kako to read the letter. Kako remembers the words &amp;quot;Kill her&amp;quot; and wonders why.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako recalls her past. Her family was not wealthy, but they were happy. Her father recommended books, and her mother helped her study. Then tragedy struck. A riot over land grabs broke out. Harassment of those who objected got worse. Discord grew within the community and even within their home. Her father was wound tight. Then their house was set on fire. Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
** She met a girl named &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; N told Kako who was responsible and what she needed to do to destroy them. Kako clung to her. She later learned N was manipulative and saw others as pawns. Kako hates N and wants revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found herself in a Labyrinth. Nanaka fought off Familiars but was overwhelmed. Kyubey offered Kako the chance to become a Magical Girl. Nanaka told Kako through telepathy to decide for herself what she wanted. Kako realized she hated feeling helpless. She wished to see her family smiling again and to get Natsume Books back. She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kako learned Nanaka faked her struggle to entrap her into making the wish. Nanaka had pulled this trick on others to use them as pawns. Kako could not forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako and Nanaka fought Witches together. Nanaka encouraged Kako and told her she was better suited to being a Magical Girl than Nanaka was. Kako wanted to get stronger. Nanaka wrote a letter confessing her deception and asking Kako to kill her. Kako made up her mind to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka. She returned it unopened, saying it seemed wrong to read something Nanaka only sent by accident. Nanaka smiled and said Kako was dazzling. She said she would try to tell Kako her feelings in person someday.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako thinks Nanaka overestimates her, but she is no longer as scared and helpless as she used to be. She is a Magical Girl who protects the city by Nanaka&#039;s side.&lt;br /&gt;

===Himika Mao&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Lucky Break Lost &amp;amp; Found===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

** Mitama suggests having Himika&#039;s father call the subcontractor to track down the pouch. Himika&#039;s father does so. The company says they will search for it.&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Rena calls Himika. She saw the Baby Bunny pouch in a crane game at an arcade. Himika, Kako, Ayame, Rena, and Kaede go to the arcade. The pouch is in the replenishment case, meaning Himika must win all the Mocha Bunnies already out to reach it. Himika decides to use a strategy but is short on money.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika observes other players to learn techniques, calling it &amp;quot;crane training.&amp;quot; She strategizes to create an avalanche by knocking down piles of plushies. She successfully clears most of the machine. The staff restocks the machine, placing the pouch inside surrounded by four giant Mocha Bunnies.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika aims to move two bunnies out of the way to reach the pouch. She successfully clears the pandas and one bunny. She realizes there are two Baby Bunny pouches, not one.

* Some time later, Himika&#039;s family goes on the tropical vacation. She explains that when she asked Kyubey to cure her dad, what she really wanted was for her family to be back together.

Rika finds her and calls her instead of opening the door. Rika explains she wanted to surprise Ren. She gives Ren a set of 12 colored pencils with a carved lily of the valley on the case. Ren cries and thanks her. The bear cub looks up and sees the Spirit of Light smiling at her. Her world is once again filled with light.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren buys another colored pencil. She notices the name is &amp;quot;Blue Sky&amp;quot; instead of &amp;quot;Sky Blue.&amp;quot; She hears a voice talking about the Rumor of Parallel Memories. She feels dizzy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren dreams she is dead. She cannot see or touch her parents. They mourn her suicide. She never became a Magical Girl and never met Rika. She watches her friends go to the teddy bear exhibition without her. She is invisible. She feels awful and wants to go back to the land of the living. She remembers the colored pencil with the different name—that must be the proof of another world. She holds it and wishes to live. She wakes up. It was all a dream. Rika messages her to join everyone for snacks. Ren goes to meet them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren finishes her bear story. The gatekeeper asks the bear cub if she has any regrets. The bear cub says yes. She wishes to leave behind her journal, filled with entries about the Spirit of Light and all the sparkles she showed her. The gatekeeper opens the gates. The bear cub does not say goodbye because she knows she will see the Spirit of Light again someday in the World of Light. Ren realizes the bear cub is reborn, just like she was when she met Rika and her friends. She can live in a world full of color.&lt;br /&gt;

She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Riko Chiaki&#039;s Heartphial Story: Worked Out with a Woof===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki reflects on her life. Even though her mom and dad were hardly home because of work, she never felt lonely as long as Miss K was around. She cared about her so much that she just wanted to help her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback) Riko helps out at her parents&#039; bento store. She is close with Miss K, the daughter of the hardware store owner next door. Miss K has always been like a big sister to her. Miss K cries to Riko that her father opposes her marriage because he does not want her to move far away. Riko wishes to Kyubey for Miss K&#039;s marriage to be accepted. She becomes a Magical Girl. Miss K gets married and moves away. Riko misses her but does not regret her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Riko goes filming with Ashley. She tells Ashley about Miss K. She explains that Miss K&#039;s father never fully accepted the marriage, and they have not made up. Riko receives a message from Miss K saying she was in the hospital because she was pregnant. She invites Riko to visit her new house. Riko goes and meets the baby. Miss K asks Riko to be friends with her child. Riko becomes like a big sister to the baby. She feels happy that her wish came true but is sad Miss K and her father never reconciled.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko walks Mameji and sees Miss K&#039;s father standing outside the hardware store, looking sad. She wonders what is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley advises Riko to ask Miss K directly if she wants to make up with her father. Riko texts Miss K and asks to meet. Miss K replies that she will come to Riko&#039;s town instead. Riko is excited.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Miss K visits Riko. They talk about her father. Miss K says she wants to make up with him but does not know how. Riko suggests inviting him to meet the baby, giving him a present, or going on a family trip. Miss K doubts any of it will work. They walk to Riko&#039;s store together. They encounter Miss K&#039;s father outside. Riko admits she asked Miss K to come so they could patch things up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Miss K&#039;s father reveals he brought a herbarium to Riko&#039;s store. It was originally meant as a gift for his grandchild, but he could not bring himself to deliver it. Riko realizes Mameji had been guiding her this whole time. Earlier, Mameji had barked at the cake that turned out to be from Miss K&#039;s father. Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky. She realizes she is dying, having protected Yachiyo. She remembers how everyone was fighting for dear life. She wished she were stronger to help them. She is sorry for not being stronger. She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ashley Taylor&#039;s Heartphial Story: Can&#039;t Be Myself Without What I Love===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley Taylor reflects on her life. Studying in Japan is awesome fun. She wants to find more kawaii for her vlog viewers back home and asks her father to watch over her while she pursues her passions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley vlogs with Riko&#039;s help. She films herself shopping for Magical Kirin merch and gurokawa items. After editing and uploading the video, she replies to comments from her followers. She thinks about her father and hopes he is watching.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley remembers the day she wanted to study abroad in Japan. Her father refused without giving a clear reason, which was unusual. Kyubey appeared and offered to grant any wish. Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko notices Ashley seems down. She worries Ashley is overworking herself by vlogging daily and replying to comments late at night. Ashley says it does not feel like work because she loves it. She thanks Riko for being a kind friend. They go out to film another vlog.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley continues vlogging daily. She worries about skipping a day because her followers might unfollow her. She wakes up to find Kumanosuke missing. She panics, feeling like her world is ending. Riko arrives with a bento and finds Ashley crying. Ashley explains she lost Kumanosuke. Riko comforts her and says it is okay to skip a vlog. Ashley admits she has been using followers&#039; comments to fill the hole left by her father&#039;s death. Riko says she understands loss—she misses her sister who moved far away. They decide to search for Kumanosuke.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko suggests Ashley ask her followers for help finding Kumanosuke. During a live stream, a commenter suggests rewatching her previous vlog. Ashley realizes she left Kumanosuke on a chair when she got distracted by a crane machine. They find Kumanosuke on a shelf at the store, dressed in Waloli Gurokawa clothes. Ashley gets him back. She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

* At the hospital, a nurse tries to convince Touka to eat her carrots. Touka refuses unless her terms are met: she wants specific books brought to her. The books are Hachslingen&#039;s &amp;quot;General Theory of the Origin of the Universe,&amp;quot; Cosinberg&#039;s &amp;quot;Celestial Forces,&amp;quot; and Dadatri&#039;s &amp;quot;Glimmer of the Planet.&amp;quot; She claims no one will hand them over.

** Iroha arrives, having been called by Ui. Ui admits she asked Iroha to search for the books Touka wanted, having written out the titles for her.

** Nemu deduces that Touka is acting like Princess Kaguya, requesting treasures she knows do not exist to avoid eating her carrots. Exposed, Touka reluctantly eats a carrot.

* Touka eagerly awaits Iroha&#039;s arrival to play Old Maid, noting Iroha has won first place seven times in a row but that her face always gives the game away. Nemu observes to Ui that Touka frequently says &amp;quot;Onee-sama&amp;quot; now, likely because Iroha is her first elder sister. Nemu quietly reflects that Iroha is her first Onee-san as well.

===Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call|Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wait, You Got It Wrong!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayu Kozue&#039;s most treasured possession is a bear pendant her father carved for her before he died. When a hand-drawn postcard is stolen from the museum where she works, security footage shows her friend Ria at the scene moments later. Mayu cannot reach Ria and suspects a Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~|Wait, You Got It Wrong! / Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While searching for Ria, Mayu encounters Asuka Tatsuki, whose family&#039;s invaluable book of secrets was also stolen. A witness described a blonde girl in a Mizuna uniform—Ria. They find Sayuki Fumino crying over her stolen sword book, then Rena Minami who was bumped by the same girl. At Walnut&#039;s restaurant, Manaka Kurumi accuses Ria of stealing a rice omelet. A Witch barrier appears, and after Mayu and Asuka defeat the Familiars, Ria arrives demanding to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka challenges Ria to a duel over the thefts, and Ria loses. She confesses to something embarrassing, and everyone assumes she means the thefts—but she meant a binder of idol clippings she desperately hopes no one saw. She was only chasing the Witch to recover her own stolen belongings. Relieved, Mayu and Asuka join her. They track and defeat the Witch, recovering most items, but the museum postcard, the dojo book, and Ria&#039;s binder remain missing. They agree to search again tomorrow. That night, Mayu dreams of her father, who tells her material things are destined to break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, thefts continue across the city. Mayu realizes the Witch they defeated was only a Familiar and the real Witch is still out there. She offers her precious pendant as bait to track it. Despite Ria&#039;s protests, Mayu uses it, and they follow the magic trail to the Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After a difficult battle, they recover all stolen items, though Mayu&#039;s pendant is scratched and its chain broken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu is unbothered. She explains that material possessions naturally break, but the memories they hold remain in her heart—a lesson from her father. Asuka and Ria are moved, and Mayu turns to walk home, promptly falls into a lake, and flounders while Ria sighs that she has not changed at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor she calls Miss K. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Miss K with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Miss K&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Miss K to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

===&amp;quot;Let&#039;s hit the Suitoku baths! (Music Collection 1 bonus drama)&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo, Iroha, and Sana prepare a meal. Felicia reluctantly helps. Tsuruno arrives with a flyer for Suitokuyu, a public bathhouse holding an event as part of a shopping district revitalization plan. She invites everyone to go together. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the bathhouse, they read the posted rules. Tsuruno pretends to be a &amp;quot;bathhouse master&amp;quot; and teaches them. Sana becomes embarrassed about being naked in front of everyone. Yachiyo understands her feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Villa. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;
~A Little Break For Us~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===This is The Warmest Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha is going about her day when Sana, Felicia, and Ui present her with a pinwheel and ask her to blow on it. Though confused by their strange behavior, Iroha does as they ask and the girls thank her before quickly scampering off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~#This Is The Warmest Day Login Special|This is The Warmest Day]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts. When Yachiyo asks Iroha&#039;s opinion, Iroha expresses her love for shortcake and suggests they bake one immediately, but Yachiyo insists she wait for the right moment, which will come sooner than she thinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Lavi is shopping when Nayuta finds her to share news about her math test score. They return home where Lavi prepares dinner, and Nayuta discovers Lavi earned perfect scores in every subject, highlighting the gap between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House|The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day while Lavi runs errands, Nayuta confides in Mikage about her fears that Lavi only respects her father and secretly resents serving her. Seeking answers, Nayuta visits Mitama, who suggests that kindness and broad-mindedness are the traits she needs to develop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Nayuta observes how hard Lavi works attending school, studying, handling housework, and fighting witches. Worried she might collapse, Nayuta offers Lavi time off for her upcoming sixteenth birthday and secretly plans a surprise party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later on Lavi&#039;s birthday, Nayuta and Mikage struggle through cleaning the house and preparing a celebration. Their efforts are interrupted when Lavi returns early for lunch, scolds them for the mess, but leaves again at Nayuta&#039;s insistence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Lavi returns that evening, the handmade kusudama falls onto the cake and catches fire. Lavi extinguishes it with water, and Nayuta is left mortified as her surprise party fails spectacularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Nayuta senses lingering coldness from Lavi and struggles to find the right way to apologize. Remembering her father&#039;s example, she decides to catch and cook a fish as an apology gift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day at a fishing center, Nayuta encounters girls from the Tokime clan who teach her how to gut fish. Despite being disturbed by the process, she perseveres and eventually catches the exact fish she wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning home late, Nayuta discovers a threatening letter addressed to Lavi and deduces it must be connected to the serious trouble from Lavi&#039;s hometown. She rushes to the market street with Mikage to protect her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the market street, Nayuta confronts the man speaking with Lavi, declaring herself as Satomi Tasuke&#039;s daughter to intimidate him. The man reveals he is simply a stalker with no connection to Lavi&#039;s past, and when he becomes agitated, Nayuta tackles him unconscious as a crowd applauds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Nayuta presents the cooked fish and apologizes. Lavi admits she was barely angry anymore and thanks Nayuta for protecting her, acknowledging she was just like her father in that moment. Nayuta produces a second kusudama and cake, and this time the celebration succeeds. As they pick confetti from the cake, Lavi quietly says she will continue to admire Nayuta until the final day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Art 02 01 0003 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune. The Rumor says that if you receive the book and find a drawing of yourself, the sketched event will happen and if you try to stop it, a creature named Ketch drags you into the book. Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Art 02 01 0010 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day|Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Rumored Temp Counselor===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

===Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away|Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

* One evening, Sakuya wakes from another nightmare about the Futatsugi war, where she killed her best friend. She resolves to continue her undercover mission at Iroha&#039;s school and avoid friendships at all costs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Always Waving my Hand at You|Always Waving my Hand at You / I’ll Keep Waving at You]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ryoko notices Sakuya&#039;s exhaustion and decides something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ryoko tracks Sakuya down at her school, creating a scene about missing shoes that sparks gossip. After learning Sakuya may be engineering her own isolation, Ryoko continues her efforts to help, but Sakuya runs away each time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Ryoko investigates and discovers Sakuya hid her own shoes and started the gossip to isolate herself. Sakuya confesses she killed her best friend in the war and must remain alone to avoid hurting anyone else. Ryoko declares she will save Sakuya by becoming her best friend, and they fight until exhausted. That night, Sakuya dreams of her deceased friend, who thanks her and tells her to move forward. She wakes to find Ryoko collapsed from hunger, and they talk for hours like ordinary friends. Though they agree they cannot meet again until the battles are over, they promise to become true friends then.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the following days, Sakuya returns to normal life by socializing with classmates, sleeping better, and regaining her spirits. Ryoko gains a new goal: to free Sakuya from the things that bind her, once and for all, when the time is right.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls in Kush, who transforms into a vampire and she wins the contest. Natsuki takes second place and Karin takes third place. A commemorative photo is taken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin completes her manga, &amp;quot;The Pumpkin King and the Ghost Servant.&amp;quot; She shows it to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede who praise it, giving it 100 points or more. Kaede appreciates the happy ending. Karin is moved by Kaede&#039;s approval. Manaka arrives with pumpkin pie for a taste test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the Sakae Halloween Festa, Karin arrives at the festival in her Pumpkin King costume. Alina is also present, already dressed as the ghost servant from Karin&#039;s manga. Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head of the executive committee thanks Karin for recommending Alina as the face of the event. Karin reflects on her hope that Alina will one day atone for her sins and reach a happy ending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Mikage is delighted to see her photo in the newspaper and finds it funny that the article claims she made chocolate with her sister. Mitama suggests it was artistic license. Mikage wonders if she might become famous but worries about sketchy people, and Mitama jokingly offers to beat them up. Mikage asks if they can make real chocolate together, but Mitama needs to go to her coordinator shop. Mikage promises to do things that make her sister smile instead, and Mitama suggests they make Valentine&#039;s chocolate together next year. Mikage eagerly agrees to practice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choc&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Promised Blood&#039;s base, Yuna notices her teammates have been acting strangely, as Sakuya reads romance columns, Juri studies constantly, and Urara stares at Hikaru without speaking. After the meeting, Yuna confides in Hikaru that she feels guilty for not noticing everyone&#039;s exhaustion and decides to solve each person&#039;s problems personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend. Though relieved it&#039;s not her own love life, Yuna insists on helping anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s place, the group brainstorms confession advice. The conversation shifts when Ao receives a text from her parents—she&#039;s been lying to them about her late nights as a magical girl, claiming she&#039;s in an e-sports tournament. To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the online tournament, chaos ensues as Juri attacks teammates, Hikaru sets the kitchen on fire, and Yuna fails at selling merchandise. Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka-senpai&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Day in the Life of Madoka-senpai===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

==Magia Record Events==&lt;br /&gt;
===See You Tomorrow===&lt;br /&gt;
* One morning at the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira greets an older neighbor who warns her about increasing danger in the area. Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them. The girl agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, finishing the final preparations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day of the school festival proceeds without major incident. Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, sampling food and enjoying the event. They take a photo together at the repaired arch—Tsumugi, Manaka, and the transfer student in her uniform. The transfer student reflects later that she will cherish the photo forever, grateful for the kindness she did not feel she deserved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Autumn of Reading===&lt;br /&gt;
This seems to have been an event without story. Needs to be re-checked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Girls in the Hood===&lt;br /&gt;
* An earthquake strikes the city, and on a rooftop, Jun Kazari drops both her yo-yo and her soul gem while practicing tricks. She chases after the soul gem, while the yo-yo falls into the hood of Mitsune Miwa, a hikikomori watching a performance below. Mitsune decides to return it and runs up the stairs, where she collides with Jun. Jun explains she needs her soul gem, and Mitsune returns the yo-yo. A Witch&#039;s barrier appears around them, and Jun transforms to fight while telling Mitsune to close her eyes. Mitsune peeks, collapses after seeing the Witch die, and Jun carries her outside, claiming it was all a dream. Jun insists on treating Mitsune since she saved her yo-yo, and takes her to a candy store called Tomorrow Shop. Jun introduces her to the children there, and Mitsune is amazed by how loved Jun is. Mitsune must leave by 6 PM, and Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Girls in the Hood|Girls in the Hood]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitsune returns to the shop and sees Kanae Yukino talking with Jun. Mitsune detours down an alley and is caught in a Witch&#039;s barrier. Kanae enters first, and Jun follows to save Mitsune. They defeat the Witch together, and Mitsune wakes in a park. Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop&amp;quot; again, and Mitsune smiles and agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Jun and the shop owner discover that Mitsune is their neighbor. Mitsune asks Jun about what she saw, but Jun says she forgot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitsune later sees Kanae talking to Kyubey and follows her, but is pulled into a Familiar&#039;s labyrinth. Jun saves her, and Mitsune directly asks if Jun is a magical girl. Jun begins explaining Witches, Familiars, and magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mitsune admits she still cannot go to school or make friends. Jun says she also struggles with friends. Mitsune wonders if she should become a magical girl, but Jun yells at her not to. Mitsune leaves upset. Kanae warns Jun that Mitsune has the qualities to become a magical girl, and Jun reveals she is moving away from Kamihama. She used her wish to save the shop, but now realizes other things are more important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Jun tells Mitsune she is moving next week and that magical girls do not have the kind of magic Mitsune dreams of. Mitsune must make her own dreams come true. Jun promises to prove she does not need magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Jun finds that the children and Mitsune went to explore Shinsei Ward without her. She finds them at an abandoned construction site where Mitsune encountered a Witch. Mitsune sent the children away but stayed behind. Jun arrives and uses a homemade bomb to damage the Witch before they escape. A gas leak causes a larger explosion, and they escape on Kanae&#039;s motorcycle. Kanae later destroys the Witch barrier herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Jun says goodbye at the shop. Mitsune arrives crying, and Jun gives her a fake gum toy as a farewell gift. Jun tells her she can become whatever she wants without magic, slowly and little by little, and that if she keeps that happy face, they will meet again. &amp;quot;Someday, see you at the Tomorrow Shop again.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* At age 12, shortly after contracting, Yachiyo meets Mifuyu and initially dislikes her, but her opinion changes after learning about Mifuyu&#039;s demanding family obligations and when Mifuyu takes a severe wound saving her from hostile Magical Girls. Yachiyo later returns the favor, and they grow closer as Mifuyu begins visiting Mikazuki Manor. They eventually share why they made their contracts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope|Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day, the same pair of Magical Girls from years ago betrays them during a Witch hunt. One dies and the other escapes after stealing the Grief Seed while Yachiyo and Mifuyu lie wounded. They nearly give up, but saving a girl from Yachiyo&#039;s unit reminds them that protecting others still matters. Yachiyo suggests they exchange letters like her grandmother did to maintain hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Seven years later, Mifuyu suggests stopping the letters to cast away weakness, but Yachiyo believes the letters give them strength by carrying others&#039; wishes. Mifuyu tearfully realizes she can still rely on Yachiyo. They thank each other and resolve to move forward together, hoping no further sacrifices will be needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope 2====&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo finds an old photo album while cleaning. She shows it to Iroha, Tsuruno, Sana, Felicia, and Ui. The photos are from seven years ago, when Mikazuki Villa was a boarding house. Iroha notices a girl standing next to Yachiyo and her grandmother—it is Mifuyu with long hair. Yachiyo explains she knew Mifuyu back then and they fought Witches together. Tsuruno is shocked and Yachiyo says they did not leave a good first impression on each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seven Years Ago&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo fights her first Witch. She is scared but determined. Inside the barrier, she finds another Magical Girl crying. The girl is too frightened to fight. Yachiyo tries to cooperate, but the girl runs away. Yachiyo defeats the Witch alone. Afterward, she confronts the crying girl and tells her that if she cannot fight, she should quit. The girl begs Yachiyo not to leave her alone. Yachiyo is harsh but later realizes she is also scared. Both girls cry alone, afraid of being Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo is the leader of her model unit. The other members are starting to trust her. One member, Yellow, still does not approve of Yachiyo as leader. Yachiyo continues working hard. After her lesson, she defeats a Familiar. She encounters Mifuyu again. Mifuyu says she felt the Familiar&#039;s presence but was too scared to enter the barrier. Yachiyo is harsh again, but Mifuyu says she wants to talk properly. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives and invites Mifuyu to a candy store. Mifuyu has never been to one before. She is amazed by the syrup. The grandmother invites her to visit Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s unit has a successful photoshoot. She feels happy. Later, she senses a powerful Witch and enters the barrier. Two other Magical Girls are already fighting it. Yachiyo asks to join them, but they attack her. They say the Witch is their prey and threaten her. Mifuyu appears and says they should cooperate. The other girls ignore her and lure the Witch toward Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Mifuyu protects Yachiyo and gets injured. They escape together and rest in a park. Yachiyo shares her grief seed with Mifuyu. They introduce themselves. Yachiyo learns Mifuyu comes from a strict family with nine lessons. Mifuyu became a Magical Girl to dream freely. They bond over their shared struggles. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to visit again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu visits Mikazuki Villa. She brings sweets. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother shows the album and the magazine featuring Yachiyo&#039;s unit. The older boarders ask Mifuyu for a cute nickname for Yachiyo. Mifuyu suggests &amp;quot;Yacchan.&amp;quot; Yachiyo likes it. That night, a Witch appears near the station. They fight together and save a boarder from Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo suggests they team up because they are both weak and will become stronger together. Mifuyu agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Yachiyo and Mifuyu continue patrolling. Mifuyu&#039;s parents increase her lessons because they suspect she is sneaking out to play. Yachiyo feels guilty. They decide to reduce patrols for the next week.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s manager tells her the unit will be disbanded at the end of the month. Yachiyo is devastated. Her wish to keep the unit alive was meaningless. She meets Mifuyu at the candy store. Mifuyu has been scolded and had her phone taken away. She says she cannot endure her life anymore. Yachiyo blames herself for dragging Mifuyu around. A Witch appears. They fight it, but two other Magical Girls show up and attack them. The Witch kills one of them. Yachiyo and Mifuyu fight the Witch together and defeat it. The surviving Magical Girl takes the grief seed and leaves. Yachiyo and Mifuyu are broken. They ask Kyubey to let them quit, but he refuses.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo finds a grief seed left behind by the surviving Magical Girl. She realizes she saved the girl&#039;s life. Mifuyu says that even though their wishes were meaningless, they are still alive and can protect what is important. Yachiyo recalls her grandmother&#039;s words about leaving feelings behind through letters. She decides she and Mifuyu should exchange letters to leave their feelings behind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day at Mikazuki Villa&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu continue looking through the photo album. Mifuyu says the letters were their hope and their weakness. She suggests they stop exchanging letters because they are now seniors who must be strong. Yachiyo refuses. She says the letters keep her tied to reality and give her hope. Mifuyu agrees to continue. They find an old letter Yachiyo wrote. Yachiyo says she will write this year&#039;s letter. Mifuyu promises to write one too. They vow to exchange letters forever.&lt;br /&gt;

Shortly after, Shizuku breaks her favorite mug while washing dishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sent&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Shizuku notices a borrowed photo book is missing. Ayaka messages that Ryo found a scoop and Ikumi actually fell, making the fortunes three for three. Ryo calls, inviting her to a cake buffet tomorrow. Shizuku declines, citing shopping plans. Ryo explains the Barnum Effect and assures her the photo book was already returned. Shizuku feels relieved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sent&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Overwhelmed by loneliness, she cries out for her deceased rabbit Fuunii.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sent&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku wanders to a pond, where Kanagi finds her and speaks about protecting magical girls. Shizuku interprets this as a reminder that everyone leaves and excuses herself. She walks aimlessly, ignoring messages from Ayaka and a worried relay from Ryo through Mitama. She turns her phone off, convinced she has nowhere left to return to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sent&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku finds herself in an unfamiliar place, confronted by a mysterious figure. The figure tells her she will never belong because she always runs away, urging her to abandon everything and keep traveling forever.

The figure reveals itself as her Doppel and agrees to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sent&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At the coffee shop, the friends gather. Hinano arrives, having fallen into a pond while searching for Shizuku, and expresses her desire to be friends too. As Shizuku prepares tea, the group grows lively around her. She reflects that she still does not know how she wants to live, but for now, being able to smile as she watches everyone have fun is enough. Ryo quietly takes a photo of her smiling, and Shizuku joins the others as they laugh together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sent&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She offers a different tale about a fallen warrior from the Kamakura period who still wanders Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;horror&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They investigate the location Mitama mentioned and mistake two Magical Girls, Asuka and Sasara, for the ghost.

The thief enters with Kumanosuke, and the girls transform and follow. Inside, they find stolen goods and victims, and Ashley reaches the center where the Witch is examining her bear.

===The Mirror That Reflects My True Self===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sae goes about her daily life in Kamihama. She maintains a facade as the daughter of a well-off family while secretly working multiple jobs to support her kind but financially irresponsible parents, living by a philosophy of relying only on herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Mirror That Reflects My True Self|The Mirror That Reflects My True Self]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a routine adjustment with the Coordinator Mitama, Sae learns of a &amp;quot;False Magical Girl&amp;quot; rumor: someone is impersonating her. Mitama suggests Sae seek help from Emiri&#039;s counseling room, where Magical Girls gather. Though reluctant, Sae agrees the impostor threatens her carefully constructed image.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After deducing the impostor can transform, Sae confronts and corners Rena, who reveals the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire investigation was an elaborate setup. Emiri and the others orchestrated the &amp;quot;False Magical Girl&amp;quot; to force Sae into relying on them, worried her refusal to ask for help would lead to disaster. Mitama coordinated the scheme. Though initially frustrated, Sae understands their concern and thanks them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sae returns home to find her siblings confused. Someone matching her description visited earlier, acting affectionate. Sae realizes a real impostor exists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A figure identical to Sae appears and delivers a prophecy: tomorrow, Ria will be attacked and Emiri will stabbed saving her.

===The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Magia Record Event - The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf|The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo bumps into Tsuruno on a day when school is out. Yachiyo has a job performing in a recorded drama with Sayuki that will be screened on Tanabata. Tsuruno recalls Yachiyo&#039;s poor performance in Karin&#039;s Halloween play and decides to join her to help. Yachiyo welcomes her.&lt;br /&gt;
** On set, Ria and Mayu are assisting with makeup and costumes. Yachiyo recognizes Ria, calls her by name, and praises her work, causing Ria to internally fangirl. Yachiyo grows anxious seeing so many Magical Girls gathered, recalling how a previous production with magical girls turned into a disaster. Tsuruno reassures her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wins over the production team with her exuberance. The play&#039;s co-star drops out, and the director asks Tsuruno to take the role. She eagerly accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a fairy tale about an ancient Mizuna legend. Two girls, Tsuyu and Chizuru, befriend each other despite their families&#039; rivalry and join forces to punish a selfish lord. Yachiyo plays Tsuyu, the ice queen with a heart of gold. Tsuruno plays Chizuru, the cheerful and impetuous girl. Sayuki plays the Magpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** During the script reading, everyone realizes Yachiyo&#039;s acting skills are still terrible. Yachiyo confides that she has turned down many acting jobs but accepted this one because the director begged her, even if she flops. She vows to see it through to expand her repertoire. Tsuruno promises to stay by her side.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria is in shock seeing her idol perform poorly. The filmmakers work around it by taking away Yachiyo&#039;s lines. Ria confronts Yachiyo and Tsuruno after the reading, declaring she will give Yachiyo an acting bootcamp. She does not want Yachiyo&#039;s performance to drag down her makeup work or her reputation as Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at home, Yachiyo reviews the script. Tsuruno explains the Mizuna fairy tale to the rest of Mikazuki. Felicia becomes interested when she learns there are fight scenes. Tsuruno explains that the day Tsuyu and Chizuru teamed up was Tanabata, and people in Kamihama entrust their wishes to them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next week or so, Yachiyo is drilled on acting with a professional coach and Ria&#039;s guidance. She eventually executes her lines perfectly and Ria is relieved.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sea is a Link Through Time /  The Call of the Open Sea===&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. There&#039;s two different versions at hand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Momoko and Mitama arrive at a resort near a village with a legend about a Diviner who eloped with a sailor and sank with stolen treasure. Mitama reveals they are actually there to hunt for this treasure based on a fairy tale Mikage heard. While exploring the private beach, they encounter Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao from the Tokime Clan, who stumbled there by accident. The group decides to spend the day together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|The Call of the Open Sea]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, they attend a festival in a nearby village that turns out to be a branch of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka learns the villagers consider Diviners a superstition. Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Big Sis, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Felicia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward. Kyubey finds a fuming Felicia, who decides to hire herself out as a mercenary to other magical girls for money or Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Felicia Mitsuki#Side Story|Felicia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia encounters Asuka and Sasara and defeats a witch for them, but they let her keep the Grief Seed and leave without paying, leaving her frustrated. Kako appears, concerned, but Felicia rejects her harshly and immediately regrets it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia helps defeat the witch and collapses from exhaustion, silently vowing to destroy every witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Touka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Hazuki and Nanaka team up with Ui to teach her how to defeat witches. Ui claims her first victory and receives a grief seed as a reward while Touka and Nemu tag along to offer congratulations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui suddenly realizes she loves the choir and wants to become a music teacher. She excitedly shares this revelation with her family and friends and resolves to work hard toward this future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art. The Amanes are relieved, and Tsukuyo suggests they play their flutes at the shrine on the way home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Both affirm that their only allies are each other, and they will always be together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends. Before Hibari&#039;s family moved away, she performed a charm ritual on Aru and promised they would meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message that Hibari is coming to visit Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives and they plan to visit an arcade. Along the way they encounter Himena&#039;s group and later help a lost Shizuka. After some confusion about directions, they reach the arcade where Hibari wins a crane game prize and helps Juri win one too. Hibari suddenly becomes pale and goes to get change, but she does not return. Kagome calls her and Hibari thanks her for being friends before saying goodbye, with an ambulance audible in the background.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome discovers a crowd under a Witch&#039;s Kiss heading toward a rooftop and sends emergency messages to every Magical Girl she knows. Himena&#039;s group arrives to help hold back the crowd, but other girls cannot come due to similar incidents elsewhere. Shizuka finally checks her phone and rushes over with the Tokime Clan just as someone threatens to ignite kerosene. They stop the crowd while Juri and Ao defeat the Witch with Livia&#039;s help. The Witch&#039;s Kiss is lifted and Hibari wakes up confused, with Livia covering that she collapsed from anemia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari admits she felt faint because seeing Kagome surrounded by friends made her happy but also made her feel left behind and alone. Kagome insists Hibari is wrong and promises to come running whenever Hibari is in trouble, asking them to stay best friends forever. Hibari reveals the two wishes she made when they parted came true: that she could speak her mind loudly and that Kagome would make lots of friends. They renew their promise to remain best friends forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari. They bonded over a shared love of &amp;quot;The Adventure of Mandragora.&amp;quot; Hibari gave Kagome a Mandragora plushie named Al-chan and asked to be friends. Kagome learned ventriloquism through Al-chan and grew more confident. The two became inseparable.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kagome&#039;s family moved due to her father&#039;s job transfer, Hibari put a charm on Al-chan with a secret wish. They promised to meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message from Hibari saying she will visit Kamihama. Kagome prepares to show her around.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives in Kamihama. Kagome is happy to see her. They go to the arcade. On the way, they run into Himena and her group. Kagome introduces Hibari. Later, Kagome helps Shizuka, who was lost and struggling with a foreigner. Hibari is impressed by how much Kagome has grown.&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the arcade. Hibari wins a plushie from a difficult crane game in one try. Juri, Yuna, and Ao appear. Juri asks Hibari to win a prize for her. Hibari succeeds. Juri offers a drink as thanks, but Hibari declines.&lt;br /&gt;

Juri and Ao go to defeat it while Kagome and Yuna search for Hibari. Kagome receives a call from Hibari, who says goodbye and hangs up. Kagome fears the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large group of people under Witch&#039;s Kisses begins heading toward a rooftop. Kagome coordinates with nearby Magical Girls for help. Himena, Shigure, Miyuri, and Yuna hold them off. Reinforcements from other Magical Girls are delayed due to incidents elsewhere. The situation grows dire.&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka finally checks her phone and sees Kagome&#039;s emergency messages. The Tokime Clan arrives and helps stop the crowd. Juri and Ao defeat the Witch. Livia appears to assist. Everyone is safe.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hibari wakes up. Livia explains she fainted due to anemia. Hibari admits she felt left behind seeing Kagome surrounded by friends. Kagome reassures Hibari that she is still immature and needs her friend. Hibari reveals her secret wishes from childhood: that Kagome would speak her mind and make many friends. They promise to remain best friends forever.&lt;br /&gt;

* Day 4&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri struggled at school, frustrated by classmates who avoided conflict and teachers who enabled them. Her anger built up. She reflected on how she became a Magical Girl—she wished for a patient, stout heart to stay in school and not burden her father. The wish gave her patience but did not eliminate her anger; it built up as flames until she exploded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl Yuna introduced continued to spar with Juri. The girl revealed Juri had saved her from a Witch, and she admired Juri.

After thinking it over, she searches for information with help from others, but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hinano explains that because the agreement fell through, local manufacturers like Kanoko’s father stayed in business, so there was little news. Chiharu and Sunao arrange a meeting at the factory and bring Shizuka. Kanoko’s father tells Shizuka his factory would have failed otherwise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches. Hagumu is moved but asks for more time to discuss it with Shigure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===San&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Hikarizuka Youth Association, San is treated like a younger sister by the members. The Chairman reveals the Association is facing rumours of shady business and has lost a major sponsor. The Fire Festival may be cancelled. San tells Miyuri about her past—as a child, she was scared of the Festival until Tatsu showed her the beauty of the flames. She joined the Youth Association out of admiration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[San Kagura#Side Story|San&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Years ago, a movement to abolish the Festival arose. San wished to Kyubey to &amp;quot;make the Fire Festival remain,&amp;quot; and the movement died out. However, the Festival is now in trouble again because her wish only solved the immediate crisis. San suggests that if they could make people believe in a visible god, they could restore faith in the Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San and Miyuri try fundraising but fail. San decides to research the god of Hikarizuka Shrine. She learns the shrine&#039;s god was originally a girl who emerged unharmed from flames—likely a Magical Girl. San realizes she can become a visible god and spread Magical Girl supremacy to protect the Festival. She decides to contact the new Wings of Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San meets Shigure and Hagumu, who lead the Neo-Magius. They ask her to join as an instructor. San declines, saying she is more suited to being a lieutenant. She receives a message that Tatsu was caught in a violent incident. San rushes back. Sponsors are considering dropping out due to the incident. San decides to negotiate with Miyuri&#039;s father to continue sponsorship just for this year. She kneels and begs him. He agrees but says this will be the last year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San helps Tatsu with Festival preparations. She receives a message from Shigure about a new Neo-Magius leader. San meets Himena Aika. She is impressed by Himena&#039;s attitude and believes she has the makings of a leader.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Youth Association is manipulated by a Witch and starts a riot. San fights the Witch with Miyuri and the Neo-Magius. One Neo-Magius member is injured. Tatsu calls San—Miyuri&#039;s father is cutting off sponsorship and the Festival is cancelled. San is devastated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Youth Association cleans up. San learns that everyone has given up on the Festival. Tatsu admits none of them ever saw the god—he only told San that to comfort her as a child. San is shocked but still refuses to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** San tells Himena about her wish and her determination to become a god. She vows to spread Magical Girl supremacy and revive the Fire Festival by any means necessary. Himena approves. San declares she will become a living god, no matter what she has to sacrifice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Miyuri&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena, Alexandra, Hagumu, and Shigure watch as San stretches Miyuri. Miyuri&#039;s loud reactions draw attention. Himena asks about Miyuri&#039;s inline skating. Miyuri explains she started skating as a child because she was bad at running and her parents bought her skates. She fell in love with the feeling of cutting through the wind and quickly improved, eventually competing in freestyle competitions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Miyuri Yukari#Side Story|Miyuri&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s social anxiety worsened. She began experiencing panic attacks at competitions and could no longer compete. Her parents signed her up with the Hikarizuka Youth Association to help her interact with people. There, she met San for the first time. San invited her to dance practice. Miyuri fainted from overexcitement while watching San&#039;s legs. She realized she had a leg fetish and that it triggered her anxiety. She began avoiding San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s skating practice suffered. Her mother suggested she visit the Community Center. Miyuri avoided San again and went outside to practice skating alone at night. She felt free and happy while skating. San saw her dancing in the moonlight and was mesmerized. San decided she wanted to help Miyuri grow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish. San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri learned her new power shortened her experience of anxiety. She became more confident but still fainted easily. She fought Witches alone, often blacking out and going berserk. She encountered the Wings of the Magius while chasing a Witch. Her Doppel emerged. San appeared as the Instructor, defeated the Witch, and fended off the Doppel. San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training. Touka and Nemu suggested San should train Miyuri since she could still hear San&#039;s voice when unconscious. San agreed and became Miyuri&#039;s instructor. Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present) Back at the Community Center, Miyuri finishes her story. She does not regret her wish because it led her to become San&#039;s secret weapon and join Neo-Magius. Himena and the others leave, leaving San and Miyuri alone and Miyuri is mitten with San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Lavi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Lavi wakes Nayuta with the smell of natto. Mikage arrives urgently, asking to interview Lavi for her web newspaper assignment. Lavi agrees on the condition that her privacy is respected. Nayuta spills milk at breakfast, and Lavi wipes it up, explaining that milk can be used to clean silverware.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi goes shopping with Mikage and Nayuta. At the vegetable shop, the owner thanks Lavi for her gardening advice. A woman gives Lavi fresh eggs as thanks for organic vegetables from Lavi&#039;s grandfather. Mikage notices Lavi knows many housewives. Nayuta realizes she knows little about Lavi&#039;s past.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi explains she used to have a frail body as a child due to an unidentifiable condition. Her grandfather grew organic vegetables, which eased her symptoms. However, a severe storm destroyed the field&#039;s soil, making it impossible to grow vegetables. Lavi wished to restore the soil and became a Magical Girl. Her wish saved the field and gave hope to others. She admits her improved health was partly due to becoming a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage wants to make the newspaper more interesting, so Lavi offers to demonstrate &amp;quot;newsworthy&amp;quot; housework. She cooks lunch while Mikage records. Nayuta and Mikage try to help but ruin the dish with too much seasoning. They are distraught, but Lavi salvages it using cabbage and eggs. The meal is delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After making the newspaper, Nayuta and Mikage fall asleep. Lavi reflects on her past. She reveals that she never found joy in living despite her family&#039;s efforts. Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true. She asks for a little more time in her beloved daily life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Asahi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime Tribe holds a celebration to welcome Asahi. During introductions, Chiharu rambles excitedly about her favorite shows, and Asahi finds herself intrigued. When pressed to share more about herself, Asahi talks about hunting and the importance of minimizing suffering. That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun. Everyone apologizes, and they end the day with a shared dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Alexandra&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Re-analyze and structure this. It is a double-story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra dreams of her school days. She sees her past self smiling and realizes she is dreaming of the time she was in love. In the dream, she discusses love with Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu. Himena shares a romantic story about stargazing with Hiko. When Himena asks about their own love lives, Alexandra begins crying unexpectedly. She denies anything is wrong, but Himena apologizes for being insensitive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Alexandra Kurusu#Side Story|Alexandra&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, Alexandra&#039;s teacher appears—but he looks like Shigure. Other people appear as Himena and Hagumu. She recalls that her teacher was her math teacher and club advisor. He was strict and had a reputation for being scary. Alexandra remembers how she would complain about him with her classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After club activities, Alexandra wants to practice singing more. She goes to the rooftop and finds the teacher there. He allows her to practice under his supervision. They begin meeting regularly on the rooftop. She learns he does not smoke and is careful about his throat. He mentions that being an adult is not that great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A male classmate confesses to Alexandra. She almost accepts but pictures the teacher&#039;s face and realizes she loves someone else. She rejects the classmate. Later, it rains, and the teacher lends her his towel. She realizes she has fallen in love with him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra begins trying to appeal to the teacher daily. She asks about his relationship status and learns he is single. She indirectly describes him when talking about her type. She leaves a love letter in his shoe locker. He thinks it is a prank but recognizes her handwriting. She keeps trying to convey her feelings, but he never takes her seriously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra&#039;s behavior becomes obvious in class. She eagerly volunteers to answer questions and is overly happy when called on. Her classmates are amazed she can talk to the scary teacher so cheerfully. She learns everyone fears him. She asks why he became a teacher, and he admits his parents were teachers and he had wanted to be a singer but never pursued it. He wonders if there is any meaning to his life. Alexandra feels sorrow and wants him to be happy. She begins planning to improve his reputation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey appears and offers to grant any wish. Alexandra wants to capture the teacher&#039;s heart through her own efforts. She decides not to make a wish yet. She organizes a surprise birthday party for him with her classmates. He is genuinely happy and thanks her. He realizes she planned it. She tells him all the students respect him. He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra continues her jokes and attempts to get closer to the teacher. She jokes about marriage and asks for a date on the school trip. He unexpectedly agrees to go shopping with her for a few minutes. She hugs him in excitement. A classmate spots them on the rooftop. Rumors spread quickly. The principal calls the teacher in. He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra cannot wake up from the dream. She imagines the teacher scolding her for playing with his feelings. She decides she needs to apologize in real life. She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love. She tells him her feelings were not a deception—they were true love. She thanks him for a wonderful time and says she now only places her faith in Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Urara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara volunteers to do grocery shopping for Lavi. At the supermarket, she gets distracted by flash sales and buys beef, bean sprouts, and curry ingredients. She forgets Lavi&#039;s shopping list. Lavi forgives her but asks her to be more self-controlled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Urara Yume#Side Story|Urara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Urara and Lavi travel to Yukuni. Urara loses her wallet, but Lavi finds it. At the agency, Urara&#039;s manager asks her to coach a children&#039;s diabolo class as a final job. Urara accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the diabolo class, Urara teaches the class alone. Some children struggle to follow her teaching style. Lavi, Alexandra, and Asahi watch from a distance. During lunch, Urara admits she cannot explain techniques well. Lavi analyzes the wrist angles and timing, and the others offer to help. The class is a success.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Urara feels inadequate and misses her former partner, Kurara. She remembers Kurara was better at teaching. Lavi notices Urara is depressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Several days later, Urara returns to Yukuni to pick up her resignation papers. Lavi accompanies her. Urara admits she misses Kurara. Lavi warns her that reconciliation is unlikely, but Urara insists on trying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the agency, Urara confronts Kurara. Kurara reveals she always resented being compared to Urara&#039;s natural talent and felt like &amp;quot;Not-Urara.&amp;quot; She says breaking up the duo was for the best and asks Urara to stop involving herself. Urara is devastated. She returns to Kamihama and cries to Lavi, who comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Urara receives a message from her manager. A girl named Rei from the diabolo class wants more lessons. Urara agrees to meet her. Rei wants to learn the &amp;quot;Urara Special&amp;quot; to beat a prodigy her age. Urara remembers how she unknowingly hurt Kurara by copying her tricks too easily. She decides to coach Rei properly. Lavi offers to stay and help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara and Rei practice together. Lavi advises on timing. Rei successfully performs the trick. Urara tells her to remember the joy of performing, not just winning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rei competes and wins her first cup by performing the Urara Special, a trick even the prodigy could not do. Rei thanks Urara. Urara realizes that coaching helped her grow and face her regrets about Kurara. Rei asks Urara to be her permanent coach. Urara agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara returns to the Folklore base. She announces she will continue coaching diabolo classes. She wants to pass down her goal of making people smile through diabolo acts to the next generation. Lavi and the others support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nayuta&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta dreams of proving folkloric studies superior to Touka, but Lavi wakes her with obnoxious humming. Lavi scolds her for being a deep sleeper and rushes her to school in Takarazaki City, where Nayuta complains that Lavi acts like a stern stepmother rather than a kind maid her age.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In class, a self‑assessment exercise has Nayuta describe herself as quiet and diligent, but her peers call her stubborn, someone who hates losing and speaks her mind. She reluctantly accepts “stubborn” fits her persistent search for her father. The teacher introduces the Johari Window, explaining that without communication people understand themselves at most fifty percent and others only twenty‑five percent—a lesson that sticks with Nayuta.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Nayuta meets Iroha at the train station. Both are surprised the other remembers them. They discover they are the same grade and both hail from Takarazaki, and Iroha mentions she also searched for a lost loved one. Nayuta requests to see Yachiyo, apologizing for her bluntness. Iroha reassures her, noting they are both stubborn junior‑high girls from Takarazaki who came to Kamihama to find someone important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Yachiyo has no new information about Nayuta’s father. Tsuruno has Nayuta show a photo, but no one recognizes him. Felicia suggests Nayuta simply ask Touka, since she also grew up at Satomi Medical Center. Nayuta refuses, saying she cannot trust Touka, and apologizes for her stubbornness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Nayuta admits to Lavi she slept poorly because she cannot stop thinking about Touka. Mikage arrives, upset after a fight with Sudachi: Mikage complained about school, Sudachi said she envied Mikage for being able to attend, and they argued over whose position was harder.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home. Lavi approves of her standing her ground, and Nayuta realizes she and Lavi are more alike than she thought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Himika suggests she meet girls her own age like Ui, Touka, and Nemu, though Mikage is uncertain about befriending the geniuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When she returns home, Mitama warns her that Ui has been kidnapped by Promised Blood and forbids Mikage from associating with the Kamihama Magia Union. Mikage reluctantly agrees but is frustrated her efforts to make friends have been stopped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama leaves for work and Mikage accuses her of hypocrisy—Mitama can spend time with the KMU while Mikage cannot. She runs out, declaring she will find a new big sister. She finds Emiri’s office closed but runs into Rika and Ren, who quickly realize she is Mitama’s sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Mikage bond over fashion and go to some cheap stores, where Mikage realizes she left her wallet. They play a crane game instead, and Rika wins stuffed animals for Ren and Mikage. Mikage asks Rika to be her big sister; Rika declines but encourages her to talk to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory. Kanoko lets her help make a pendant, but before Mikage can convince her to become her sister, Mitama arrives and drags her home. Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any. Later, she finds Mitama has made all her favorite foods, and they reconcile off‑screen; Mikage gives Mitama the pendant she made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage declares she will not give up on making Kamihama Magia Union friends. She then decides that since Lavi and Nayuta are older, they can be her big sisters instead. They exchange a look and agree to treat her for one day. Mikage expresses her hope that someday she and Sudachi can play with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yozuru plays piano at a pharmacist’s request, impressing everyone, then meets Livia Medeiros and Sudachi Sawa. Sudachi exposes Mifuyu, who decides to introduce herself directly. Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yozuru meets Livia and Sudachi again. Yozuru worries she lacks the kindness to be a good coordinator, but Livia encourages her. Sudachi’s stomach rumbles, and Yozuru prepares snacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yozuru replies that her mother trained her to face worse and declares she will live to the fullest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited again. She jokes about the visitor&#039;s persistence. Yozuru and Sudachi return from stocking up on essentials. Sudachi trips, and Yozuru hesitates to help. Livia instructs Yozuru to help Sudachi stand and dust her off. Yozuru apologizes and explains she is not equipped with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the trailer, Yozuru offers tea. Sudachi wants teacakes. Livia allows them to have some as a treat. Livia reflects that she needs to help the girls mature. Yozuru has lost compassion, while Sudachi needs to find her words. Livia believes they will complement each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is found sleeping and crying. Yozuru gives her a handkerchief. Livia says crying in sleep happens occasionally and is common among Coordinators. She thanks Sudachi for finding her dropped ring. Sudachi sulks when Livia refuses to give her sweets as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the ring is a treasure and a way of reprimanding herself. It is the reason she lives for &amp;quot;Mister Sun.&amp;quot; She says she may tell the full story another time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia shares her philosophy: no matter how awful life is, do not drift in a bad direction or relieve resentment with a curse. Magical Girls are born from hope and must overcome struggles with hope. She warns against corrupting purity and urges supporting those with pure hearts. She says she has said enough for now and will share the rest when she is ready. She asks the visitor to promise to live strong, face forward, and not end up like her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Touka and Nemu debate whether Lil&#039; Kyubey is pretending to eat or has internal compression organs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lil&#039; Kyubey takes a train and meets Emiri, then goes to a shop where Natsuki cheers with it. It also helps Himika gather grass.

** Ryo loses sight of Lil&#039; Kyubey. She finds a girl with potential who may have received a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and helps fight the Witch alongside Nanaka. After the battle, Nanaka explains Lil&#039; Kyubey followed her into the labyrinth and returned a flower she dropped. Nanaka asks Ryo to tell Lil&#039; Kyubey to stop visiting unfriendly Magical Girls. Ryo realizes Lil&#039; Kyubey avoids girls with potential and is not soliciting anyone. She writes an article correcting her earlier suspicions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Ui finishes her journal. Touka and Nemu read it and use it as qualitative data. They debate whether Lil&#039; Kyubey is mimicking humans or simply reinforcing Ui&#039;s actions.

She says they will continue together from now on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices.

* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book. She thought she could accept the people she helped not talking to her, but now it feels like she does not even exist. When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nanaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Needs to be re-checked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako to ask for their help fighting a witch they all share a connection to. To explain why she needs them, Nanaka tells them how she became a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka&#039;s father headed a traditional Japanese flower arranging school, but when he fell ill, senior students took over and grew the school&#039;s popularity while abandoning its traditions, shutting out Nanaka&#039;s family entirely. On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform. She decided to lay the Soul Gem with its owner&#039;s body, and when she placed the gem in the girl&#039;s hands, the girl began breathing again. Later, Kyubey explained that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Kyubey asks if Nanaka will tell the others this secret, but she says she is waiting for the right moment. Nanaka then reflects that her true revenge target is actually Kyubey himself. Her power makes it clear he is her enemy, though she does not know all the details, and she is waiting for the right time to turn against him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Nanaka&#039;s team is still unable to find the witch. Akira reports meeting a magical girl mercenary. As the girls plan their next move, Nanaka muses about how she is gathering the determination of magical girls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Re-check.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuku enjoys time with her friends but feels disconnected from them and uncertain about her future. She finds comfort in Fūnī, a traveler who visits her family&#039;s cafe and shares his dream of finding a place to belong. When he invites her to search with him, she feels hopeful that she will not be alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Fūnī dies in an accident, and Shizuku makes a contract with Kyubey, wishing to be taken to him instantly. She arrives at the hospital as he dies, begging him not to leave her. She resolves to continue searching for a place to belong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As a magical girl, Shizuku gains the power to connect spaces, allowing her to travel the world much like Fūnī once did. She continues her search, taking jobs from an unknown magical girl who pays her to use her power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day after a job, Yachiyo Nanami, Tsuruno Yui, and Iroha Tamaki approach her. Iroha invites Shizuku to their house, where she meets Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba. She stays for dinner and overnight, observing how the five girls live together like a family. Yachiyo invites her to stay as long as she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku realizes the other girls have found their place to belong, but she understands that her own place was with Fūnī. She cries as his last words finally make sense to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, Shizuku ends her arrangement with the unknown magical girl and returns to Yachiyo&#039;s house, hoping she can stay there. When she arrives, the house is empty, and she sees the personal items that mark each girl&#039;s place. Overhearing them return, she realizes their home is complete with five people and she does not belong there. She leaves quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and the others had prepared a welcome party with cake, but Shizuku never comes. Yachiyo senses that Shizuku might disappear if you look away and admits she should have seen this coming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku returns to the unknown magical girl and asks for more work. When asked why she came back, she says their picture was complete with five people and she must keep searching for where she belongs. She mentally apologizes to Yachiyo, knowing her actions will cause disaster but feeling unprepared to take responsibility. She wonders if she will ever find solid ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Akira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After Nanaka and Sasara contracts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Akira wakes from a dream about being attacked by a familiar and finds Sasara Minagi nearby, who is out for a walk. Sasara offers to help Akira search for an old man&#039;s lost cane, recalling she saw children playing with a red cane, and the two head off together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akira Shinobu#Side Story|Akira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akira reflects on her upbringing in her father&#039;s karate dojo, where she learned to always help those in need and earned the neighborhood nickname &amp;quot;Troubleshooter&amp;quot; starting at age six.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira started middle school, a girl asked her to be a bodyguard against a stalker. The girl brought her to a park, confessed her love, and admitted to lying about the stalker. Akira politely rejected her, saying she didn&#039;t know much about that sort of thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Akira learned the girl had vanished and spent days searching for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day Akira found the barrier, she retraced the girl&#039;s steps in the park and stepped into a witch&#039;s labyrinth. She found the missing girl among blank-faced victims marked by a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Kyubey appeared, explained about witches and magical girls, and offered a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Familiars attacked and overwhelmed her despite her karate training. Injured, Akira wished to save all those people, transformed, and destroyed the familiars.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, none of the victims remembered the incident. Kyubey told Akira she needed to defeat the witch itself, which became her destiny as a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a magical girl, Akira patrolled Kamihama investigating witch-related incidents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day, she encountered a familiar without transforming and dropped her Soul Gem. Unable to retrieve it, she fled the barrier and collapsed unconscious outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira woke, Nanaka Tokiwa introduced herself as the magical girl who found her and picked up her Soul Gem. Nanaka advised withdrawing since Akira had collapsed, and Akira reluctantly agreed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Nanaka called asking for a favor. When they met again, Nanaka requested a duel, claiming Akira was weak and should quit hunting witches. Akira refused, citing her family&#039;s dojo, and they dueled. After some fighting, Nanaka ended the duel and apologized. She explained she wanted to test Akira&#039;s resolve and invited her to work together as a team. Akira relented after Nanaka claimed she was troubled and couldn&#039;t fight witches alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present day, Akira returns the cane to the old man and thanks Sasara. She reflects on meeting many magical girls since joining Nanaka and wonders how many exist in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akira tells Sasara she must go to a meeting about Kamihama&#039;s real estate. They say goodbye to each other and Akira departs, wondering if she is being used by Nanaka, who always seems preoccupied with something else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Manaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes Manaka cooking at her family&#039;s failing restaurant, Walnuts. She dreams of following her father&#039;s footsteps as a chef and believes that gaining admission to the prestigious St. Lillianna Academy will help her cook like a high class lady and restore the restaurant&#039;s popularity. Kyubey notes her poor grades make passing unlikely, but Manaka insists this is her father&#039;s last chance and resolves to study.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Manaka Kurumi#Side Story|Manaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Upon starting at Mizuna, Manaka visits the student council and offers to cook for an upcoming joint assembly with St. Lillian. The council dismisses her, explaining they already arranged a chef.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Walking home, Kyubey again offers a contract. Fed up, Manaka accepts but wishes not for the restaurant&#039;s success, but for a chance to spread their restaurant&#039;s flavors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A week before the assembly, the student council learns their chef was invited to a competition. They reach out to Manaka, who happily accepts. Her cooking at the assembly is a tremendous success, with the fancy girls declaring it superior to renowned restaurants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the assembly, Manaka begins selling popular bentos at school and works as a visiting chef at St. Lillian every Thursday. However, none of this translates to more customers at her family&#039;s restaurant. Meanwhile, her father receives invitations to tour as a chef and seems genuinely happy traveling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt; Manaka questions why she even bothered trying.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Manaka finishes selling bentos and keeps one for herself. Sana Futaba rushes in, upset at arriving too late. Sana explains she can normally only be seen by magical girls, but Manaka insists a first-class chef never loses sight of her customers and offers her bento. Sana accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana promises to arrive earlier tomorrow, but Manaka reveals this may be her last day selling bentos. She admits she thinks she made her restaurant even more obscure, and if she is not helping it, she sees no point in cooking. Sana tearfully confesses that Manaka&#039;s bentos became the only thing she looked forward to during lonely lunch breaks. She insists Manaka should not quit because she is still making people happy. Seeing Sana smile gives Manaka new motivation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After contracts of: Kako, Manaka&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A documentary crew follows Ria Ami, whose natural beauty causes crowds to part, though she admits she has no basis for comparison when asked about her challenges. Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ria asks Manaka to be her bodyguard while buying the magazine featuring her article, wearing sunglasses to avoid being seen. Inside, she discovers her article occupies only one page, while Yachiyo has an eight-page spread. Furious and convinced Yachiyo did it on purpose, Ria tears the magazine in half, and the clerk charges her for it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;riass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ria Ami#Side Story|Ria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Nearby, Rika defeats a Witch and sees Ren about to jump. She saves her and asks why she wants to die. Ren cannot answer. She reflects on her childhood: she has always had trouble speaking and was teased and bullied for it. She attempted suicide once before but was scared of dying. Kyubey appeared and granted her wish to live.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explained that the bullying was caused by a Witch&#039;s influence—Witches hurt people, who then hurt others. Ren resolved to destroy Witches to create a better world.

She explains that to get others to open up, you must share the secrets that create distance.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren tries to tell her story but cannot get the words out and begins crying. Rika tells her not to force herself.

Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch. Emerging back in the park, Felicia thanks Ayame, and they realize the race was never finished. They resume, but Ayame admits she&#039;s fine with not winning and she has come to accept Felicia as a strong rival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ayamess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ayame Mikuri#Side Story|Ayame&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Masara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro gives Masara cookies simply because she wants to, leaving Masara confused by the gesture. Masara flashes back to their first meeting, when Kokoro had blamed herself for being unable to protect others and Masara told her she should not carry that guilt. Kokoro had asked to stay by Masara&#039;s side, explaining that those words had saved her. In the present, Kokoro asks what Masara is thinking about, and when Masara admits she was remembering their first meeting, Kokoro smiles. Masara does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Masara Kagami#Side Story|Masara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara visits Mitama for magical strengthening, bringing many Grief Seeds with her. Mitama notes her unusual enthusiasm, and Masara explains she wants to get stronger in order to find something that might change her life. Mitama suggests she try attending a summer festival and hands her a flyer, but Masara shows no interest. When Mitama brings up Kokoro, mentioning that Kokoro has talked about her, Masara insists they are merely working together, not friends, and finds Kokoro&#039;s expectations troublesome. Mitama claims Masara is actually worried about Kokoro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara reflects on her childhood, remembering how her parents had her swim from a young age. Despite showing talent, she never felt any joy or sense of accomplishment, though she continued hoping it might eventually change. It never did. She became a magical girl thinking her dull life might finally become interesting, but even that eventually grew boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead. The Witch targets Kokoro, and Masara injures herself by blocking the attack. The Witch escapes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro apologizes, but Masara claims she only did what was most logical, since the Witch could not have been defeated alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Masara keeps flashing back to the moment the Witch attacked Kokoro whenever she looks at her injury. The recurring memory bothers her, though she does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Kokoro offers to hunt the Witch again with Masara. Masara flashes back to the previous fight and insists she will hunt it alone. She tells Kokoro she is a burden and that she does not like getting hurt. Masara leaves Kokoro crying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara tells Mitama what happened. Mitama suggests Masara was actually trying to protect Kokoro. Masara is at a loss and wonders why being around Kokoro causes her to get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro blames herself for causing Masara trouble. She senses the same Witch and, respecting Masara&#039;s wish to hunt alone, decides to fight it by herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help. Masara agrees and tells Kokoro to call her next time. When Kokoro worries about causing trouble, Masara insists she is doing it for herself, because she does not like seeing Kokoro get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Kokoro notices the summer festival flyer and asks if Masara is interested. Masara admits she is a little interested.

Kokoro and Masara are confused by her comment, which exasperates Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Konomi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi welcomes Kaede and Kako to the flower shop where she works part-time. She began working at Blossom because the florist once comforted her as a crying child with a single flower, and now Konomi does the same for other children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konomi Haruna#Side Story|Konomi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a customer leaves, Kaede and Kako help the florist carry supplies. The florist recently returned from the hospital, having survived a serious illness.

Desperate to help, she wished to Kyubey to cure the florist&#039;s illness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;!--The Flashback: Their First Meeting--&amp;gt;Kaede and Kako visit the shop for the first time. Kako searches for a specific flower, which Konomi identifies. During tea break, Kako explains she read about the flowers in a novel and wants to buy some for a friend&#039;s birthday. Kaede admits she has never given flowers but receiving them once felt wonderful. Konomi smiles and says she has an idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of the flower giveaway, Konomi, Kaede, and Kako take to the streets, suddenly appearing to hand bouquets to strangers before disappearing. A lottery winner, a despairing old man, and a boy who just got a girl&#039;s number all receive flowers. Later, the girls reunite. Kaede gave to ten people, Kako to thirteen. Konomi apologizes, but they agree to try again the day after tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Konomi, Kaede, and Kako realize they are the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi panics, fearing they have made people hate flowers. They notice a little girl crying because her mother refused to buy her a toy ring. Konomi offers a flower, but the girl wants a ring. Kako fashions the flower into a ring, and the girl calls it pretty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi realizes they have been giving flowers without understanding what recipients truly want. She decides to create something more meaningful. Inspired by Kaede&#039;s mention of birthday flowers and Kako&#039;s knowledge of flower language, they plan an arrangement that speaks to people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi and the girls create a birthday cake made of fifty flowers, with chocolate and candy inside. The cake incorporates birth flowers so greetings can be communicated through their language. They prepare a fair at the shop to showcase it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi shows the cake to the florist, who gives a muted reaction and announces her retirement, planning to leave Konomi the shop.

===Rika&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Hinano, Emiri, Ria, Manaka, Akira&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Rika is invited to a blind date by Emiri Kisaki, who brings along Hinano Miyako, a girl recently heartbroken. When the boys on the date mock Hinano&#039;s youthful appearance and odd way of speaking, Rika surprises her by defending them. Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her. Emiri and Rika quickly reassure Hinano, with Rika adding that Hinano is actually cool for having been able to confess her feelings—unlike Rika, who never confessed at all and watched her crush end up with someone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri then suggests Rika should make a wish, revealing that she and Hinano are magical girls who each received one wish in exchange for fighting monsters. Rika wonders if this is some kind of game. Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika muses that her wish was granted and she is now dating her crush, yet she feels deeply unhappy. When Kyubey asks what is wrong, she admits that every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens with unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day, Mayu is a third-year student at Mizuna Academy who works part-time at the Kamihama Contemporary Art Museum. When she accidentally breaks the museum director&#039;s cup, her boss handles the situation calmly and kindly. After work, she meets her friend Sayuki Fumino outside the museum, and when Sayuki cannot stay, Mayu&#039;s boss offers to accompany her to an exhibit instead. They later go to a cafe, where Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi are also present. Ria grows increasingly annoyed overhearing Mayu&#039;s conversation with her boss, particularly when he hints at wanting to take her somewhere else and praises her cooking. At home that evening, Mayu cooks for her mother and asks if her father would have eaten her cooking, wondering what life would be like if he were still alive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayu Kozue#Side Story|Mayu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at school, Mayu talks with Sayuki about the sword exhibit. She then heads to work, and after her shift ends, her boss mentions his wife and child are away and invites her out to eat. Mayu declines. As she leaves, she forgets her phone, and her boss rushes to return it, asking again about dinner with growing intensity. Ria suddenly appears and bumps into him, yelling at them for flirting and demanding they sit for a lecture. Mayu&#039;s boss says she ruined it and leaves. Ria warns Mayu that her sweet, innocent air attracts older men and that if things continue, his family will fall apart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home that night, Mayu reflects on the day she learned of her father&#039;s death and on Ria&#039;s words. Kyubey appears and offers a contract. Thinking she does not want her boss&#039;s family to suffer the same hardship her family did, Mayu makes her wish: to stop his family from breaking apart. That night, she narrates that her boss transferred to a new job, and she is sure her wish was granted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later at school, Mayu finds boys have started hitting on her. Ria constantly steps in to drive them off. Before Ria can finish telling Mayu to shape up, they both sense a Witch. The girls reveal they are Magical Girls, and they track the Witch to the museum&#039;s special exhibit room. Sayuki suddenly appears and reveals she is also a Magical Girl. During the fight, Mayu notices the Witch only targets Ria. She asks Sayuki to lend her strength and launches a surprise attack, destroying the Witch. Afterward, Mayu thinks that to protect people she must think clearly before acting, and Ria admits Mayu was more reliable than usual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As a child, Sayuki attends an idol performance with her parents, but when the crowd becomes dangerously wild, she is almost squeezed to death, leaving her with lasting trauma.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayuki Fumino#Side Story|Sayuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Growing up in a happy family, Sayuki develops a deep interest in katanas that creates a gap between her and her classmates. Though they respect her passion, she feels lonely without someone to share it with. This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert. Sayuki believes speaking out is important no matter the outcome and swears to protect the kind people who have been kind to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka. Moka thanks Alina for saving her and says she has now made new friends, resolving to devote herself to exterminating witches and admitting she is only a little afraid of them now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Sis replies promptly. She explains she wanted to contact Riko but left home after arguing with her father and thought a visit would be awkward. She also reveals she was hospitalized to give birth and only discharged that day, inviting Riko to come see her instead. When Riko asks her parents for permission, expecting them to refuse, they apologize sincerely and grant permission for the trip.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Riko visits Sis with her parents. Sis introduces her husband and newborn daughter, hoping Riko will get along with her child just as they once got along. Riko makes a silent promise to be a good sister to this baby and aims to grow into a fine lady, just like Sis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maria&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Maria bids her parents goodbye for the day. Her mother gives her money for dinner, which Maria insists on keeping only a small portion of, and Maria mentions she will be at her part‑time daycare job after school. On her way to school, she runs into two little girls, one of whom attends the daycare where she works.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the daycare, the children swarm Maria with requests. She notices a boy named Shin‑kun looking down and tries to find out what is wrong, but he does not want to talk. Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work. Maria suggests she spend a day with Shin to reconnect, and Shin’s mother agrees. Maria promises to put together a plan by the weekend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Maria’s classmates tease her about being a widow with a love child, and she plays along before explaining she is helping a mother and son from the daycare. Later she presents her weekend plans to Shin’s mother, who is impressed and begins looking forward to the outing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, Maria goes to the park where she knows Shin and his mother should be. She watches as they struggle to connect: Shin wants to play in a fountain, but his mother cannot explain why he should not, and they end up standing awkwardly. Maria pretends to run into them and decides to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to the playground, where Maria encourages Shin to try a tightrope bridge. When he gets nervous, she prompts his mother to take his hand, and together they cross. After lunch, Shin’s mother gets a call from work asking her to come in on her day off. She agrees, and Shin looks heartbroken. Maria offers to watch Shin until dark, and his mother gratefully accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria takes Shin to various places, and he sadly remarks that his mother is too busy for him. Understanding his loneliness, Maria vows to make the day special. At the aquarium she convinces him to see a show he ends up loving. As evening falls, they stop for takoyaki, and Maria explains that his mother tells him not to eat while walking for good reasons. Shin finally understands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shin’s mother appears, explaining work no longer needs her. She admits she has trouble expressing herself, but Shin overhears and hugs her. They both confess they thought the other did not love them. Maria shares that she was often lonely as a child but still loved her parents, and she tells Shin’s mother she does not need to be perfect. Shin shows his mother the souvenir and the last piece of takoyaki he saved for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As darkness falls, Maria walks home alone. She reflects on whether she could ever be a good mother, remembering Kyubey’s revelation that her Soul Gem is her actual soul and her body is merely a vessel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mel stays home after her reading warns of lethal danger, but Kanagi dismisses her concerns and drags her to school anyway. On the way, a Witch targets only Mel before escaping, and a possessed car then attempts to run her down. She flees west into the Mizuno region, where Yachiyo saves her. Despite Kanagi&#039;s warnings about discrimination from the West, Yachiyo&#039;s kindness puts her at ease, and Mel accepts her invitation to stay. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she requests to join Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kanagi gives permission. From that day, Mel bonds with Mifuyu, Tsuruno, and Momoko as part of her new team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One other day, Mel arrives excitedly with entirely positive readings and offers to read the team&#039;s fortunes. Despite Yachiyo&#039;s skepticism, Mel coaxes her into a session predicting a career breakthrough.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Yachiyo announces with disbelief that she was chosen for a nationwide magazine feature on Kamihama&#039;s cafes. Mifuyu and Momoko then receive positive readings about a matchmaking and exam results.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes. Afterward they visit Mitama, who suggests they train in Endless Mirrors if they plan to remain independent rather than join Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Temari and Mikura commute to school exhausted. Temari stayed up testing a new metal pen, and Mikura correctly guesses she is in modern literature mode.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Temari is distracted thinking about Witch strategies while Mikura worries about Seira, who had fallen asleep in class from exhaustion. Seira joins them, and Temari suggests they create their own space to escape the stress of magical girl life. Seira proposes forming a school club where they can pursue their hobbies freely, and they agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Seira secures an empty classroom as a provisional club room under the name Historical Research Club. On paper they study history, but in reality it becomes their oasis for reading, watching films, and relaxing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the girls are enjoying their club activities, yet Temari still feels unsettled about not knowing her magic. Mikura reflects that they have been following Temari’s suggestions lately—staying independent, creating the club—but says she will mention it if she notices anything. When Mikura asks what Temari is reading, Temari replies she is still on the same author, and Mikura calls her as unpredictable as ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hotori&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Last part is after the tea drinking moon party&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hotori and her twin Rion prepare for a school camping trip. Hotori gets distracted watching her favorite sentai show, Dragoon Red, and Rion teases her for still liking children’s fantasy. Hotori wants to bring her notebook of heroic quotes, but Rion tells her not to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At school, Rion tries to stay with Hotori and gets scolded by the teacher. Hotori is relieved to have time away from her sister. Her classmates notice her notebook and encourage her to become who she wants to be.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At camp, Hotori’s group hikes through the forest. She is frightened by insects, and when Rion appears and drives her friends away, Hotori ends up scolded for letting her sister interfere. Reading quotes from her heroes, she manages to calm herself and finishes the hike feeling she has changed a little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During archery, Hotori struggles to pull the bowstring but remembers Dragoon Red’s words about perseverance and manages to shoot. Rion performs better, but Hotori’s friends cheer her up. Rion later mentions the night’s test of courage, and though Hotori is scared, she refuses to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the test, Hotori freezes after a scare. Rion mocks her and escorts her to the finish line. There Hotori realizes she left her notebook behind; Rion goes back to retrieve it but does not return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotori lies to the teachers and searches the forest. She finds Kyubey, who offers her a contract: any wish in exchange for becoming a magical girl who fights witches. When she finds Rion acting strangely, Kyubey explains Rion has a witch’s kiss. Rion enters a witch’s barrier, and Hotori follows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Terrified but thinking of Dragoon Red’s words, Hotori makes her wish: “I wish to be a hero strong enough to protect Rion.” She defeats the witch alone, saves Rion, and is relieved when her sister wakes up safe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Months later, Hotori now fights witches with a team. During one battle she freezes and is saved by Rion and Yukika Nanase. Yukika asks about Hotori’s notebook, and Hotori explains she wants to be brave like the sentai heroes. Yukika privately knows the truth from another timeline: the twins’ memories were altered by Rion’s wish, and Hotori’s original wish may have been to become strong enough to protect Rion. Hotori, unaware, continues striving to be a hero.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Meguru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Meguru joins the Broadcasting Club, but her senpais later announce it will close due to low membership. Though she feigns indifference, she secretly wants the club to remain so she can pursue her dream of becoming a popular MC. When Kyubey appears, she wishes to become a popular mistress of ceremonies in exchange for becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After her wish, she discovers she can narrate events with unusual power, accidentally motivating classmates. She is drawn into a witch’s labyrinth and rescued by Momoko Togame, who takes her to Mitama Yakumo. Momoko suspects Meguru’s magic strengthened the witch. Mitama asks Meguru to act as MC for an event in the Mirror Witch’s barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the barrier, Meguru narrates battles for Tsuruno Yui, Meiyui Chun, and Akira Shinobu, but her words also empower their mirror copies. After struggling to control her magic, she successfully motivates the originals to win. The group agrees she has a gift for motivating others, though they must flee when more copies appear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Eternal Sakura begins as a story Iroha tells to Ui, Touka, and Nemu at the hospital—a tale of a girl waiting by a sakura tree to reunite with her three friends. Nemu loves it so much she writes it down, naming it the Eternal Sakura of Promises. That is Sakura&#039;s beginning, though she is only words in a notebook.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Nemu moves the Eternal Sakura and many other stories into a different book, rewriting them as Rumors and breathing her own lifeforce into them. They become real beings, freed but also bound to their rumors. Time passes, and the Eternal Sakura watches as other Rumors are destroyed. She alone keeps her physical form. When Walpurgisnacht attacks and the crisis ends, Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu finally come to her meadow, reunited at last. The sakura tree bursts into bloom. All the Rumors now live together in Nemu&#039;s book, with the Eternal Sakura as the only one who can venture outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* At Kosho Academy, Seira Mihono searches for a protagonist with a secret for her new film. Her classmates suggest Rui, a mysterious girl who never talks about herself.

===Akari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari wakes Hotaru after school. Hotaru notices Akari&#039;s Puchi-Usa keychain, which Haruto drew for her when she was young. Akari decides to tell Hotaru about her wish and how she became a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akari Mai#Side Story|Akari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari explains that she has always loved Haruto, but he treats her only as a little sister. When Haruto entered high school, he stopped walking with her due to club activities. Akari heard a rumor that Haruto was dating his club manager. Distressed, she wished to Kyubey to become 16 years old like Mimiko-chan, the transforming heroine she admired.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her wish only allowed her to transform temporarily. She turned back into an elementary schooler afterward. Akari regretted not wishing for everyone to perceive her as 16 from the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Akari patrolled for Witches and found Haruto under a Witch&#039;s Kiss. She saved him in her 16-year-old form. Haruto did not recognize her and thanked her as a stranger. He gave her his jacket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari returned Haruto&#039;s jacket, claiming a stranger asked her to return it. Haruto admitted he had fallen in love with the girl who saved him—not realizing it was Akari.

* The bunny Nene died. Akari cried. Haruto came to give her a new Puchi-Usa keychain but hid it when he saw her crying. He comforted her and told her it was okay to cry. Akari loved his kindness and subtle thoughtfulness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari ran into Haruto while patrolling. Haruto was looking for the 16-year-old girl. Akari became jealous and badmouthed her 16-year-old self, calling her suspicious and a liar. Haruto got angry at Akari for speaking ill of someone she did not know. Akari ran away, feeling she was not worthy of him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari hid in an alley. Haruto came looking for her. A Witch appeared, and Haruto was under another Witch&#039;s Kiss. Hotaru appeared and caught Haruto with a pillow before he could jump. Hotaru and Akari defeated the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotaru revealed she had been watching over Akari since the bunny hutch. She told Akari that her kindness was one of her good points. Akari realized the 16-year-old version Haruto fell for was still a part of her. Hotaru encouraged her to apologize properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari, still in her 16-year-old form, lied to Haruto that she had taken Akari under her protection. Haruto was relieved and admitted he was too harsh with Akari. He said he did not want her to become someone who speaks ill of others. Akari apologized to Haruto in person. Haruto forgave her and said he was proud of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari resolved to become a wonderful adult on her own, without magic, and capture Haruto&#039;s heart when she was truly 16. She thanked Hotaru for giving her the push to apologize but Hotaru fell asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ryoko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryoko’s story begins at Suitoku Temple, the Tokime Tribe’s base, which was slated for demolition while officials hid the harm it would cause. Though she is from a neighboring town, Ryoko is bound to the tribe by blood, and she makes a wish to disclose the demolition details—saving the temple. Raised by her grandfather in a strict Buddhist temple, she is told her mother was a hero who saved the country yet died and left her behind. Ryoko grows to resent heroism, viewing it as empty fame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Her cynicism is tested when Moka Megumi tries to save a drowning kitten despite being unable to swim. Ryoko rescues her and asks why; Moka says she simply cannot stand someone dying on her watch.

===Kush&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama’s adjuster shop, Karin Misono finds Kush sleeping inside the tent. Mitama explains that Kush cannot stay awake during the day due to her wish: “I just want the morning to never come.” Kush reveals she made her wish because she longed to live in a fantasy world like the one in her favorite book, &#039;Good‑Bye Fable,&#039; and her magical girl outfit resembles the story’s protagonist. Ui Tamaki and Little Kyubey arrive, and Kush briefly attacks Little Kyubey, mistaking him for the Kyubey she despises. Over tea, Mitama notices Kush’s long canine teeth stained red and later receives a message from her sister Mikage about a rumor of a vampire girl in the Hokuyo Mountains. Karin and Kush agree to investigate together, but Kush runs off to her night class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, the two meet up with Riko Chiaki and Ashley Taylor, who are making a horror video about the same rumor. The group searches the mountains at night. Kush can see in the dark and leads them, but she is still sleepy. They find a discarded camera containing a video of Rui Mizuki dropping it and disappearing. When a mysterious sound frightens the others, they accidentally leave Kush behind. Left alone, Kush eats cherry tomatoes and senses a witch. The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one. They also learn that Rui is Kush’s friend; she had filmed Kush entering the barrier before being caught by it. The group later glimpses a white‑haired silhouette and flees, thinking a real vampire might exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley posts a video warning others to stay away from the mountains. At Mitama’s shop, Ui hears about the incident and learns the vampire was just a misunderstanding.

===Homura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Homura Akemi in Magia Record#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is flooded with more memories of her other self preparing for Walpurgisnacht with allies. She wonders if there might be a real possibility for salvation in this timeline, where no one has to be sacrificed. However, she believes it has nothing to do with her. She breaks out of the labyrinth and the dream ends. Kyubey asks if she was curious about what happened to her other self. Homura says it does not matter; she believes in Madoka&#039;s words that her efforts will not be in vain. A new universe is about to be born, and Homura must protect it for Madoka&#039;s sake. Kyubey states they will both forget Madoka, but Homura is determined to never forget her.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new universe where Witches do not exist, Kyoko is surprised to find Sayaka has disappeared. Mami explains the Law of Cycles causes Magical Girls to disappear when they lose hope. Homura cries as she remembers Madoka, but neither Mami nor Kyoko know who Madoka is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka spend the day together in Kamihama, enjoying each other’s company until they encounter Ria Ami, a model and magical girl who has already defeated the witch they were tracking. Ria invites them to tea and later takes them to the fashion district, where she notices that Homura’s attention never leaves Madoka. Admitting her jealousy, Ria says she wishes someone would look at her the same way, and Homura replies that she will protect Madoka. After Ria departs, Homura thinks that even if Madoka does not realize how cool she is, she will still save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Homura steals weapons from a group called the Soukaihou using her time stop, but she is caught afterward by Meiyui Chun, a magical girl affiliated with the group. Instead of punishing her, Meiyui thanks her for taking weapons that belonged to troublemakers and invites Homura to share mapo tofu. Over the meal, Meiyui learns Homura fights to protect someone precious to her and says she understands, offering her support and suggesting the spicy dish whenever the burden becomes too painful to bear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Homura is practicing her shooting alone when Natsuki Utsuho, a magical girl who cheers for others, offers to encourage her. Natsuki deduces Homura’s time stop ability and gives advice that significantly improves her aim. When Natsuki suggests Homura ask Mami to coach her, Homura calls, and Mami arrives within an hour. Mami uses her ribbons to move within Homura’s time stop during a sparring match, praising her rapid progress afterward. Homura agrees to return to Mitakihara with Mami, reflecting that she will keep moving forward to become a magical girl capable of protecting Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On a Saturday, Sayaka arrives in Kamihama City to go shopping with Kyosuke Kamijou, though she insists it is not a date. When she hears a scream, she runs toward it and discovers Hinano Miyako at an empty elementary school. Hinano explains she was bumped on the head while setting up the chemistry lab, and Sayaka decides to help investigate. They find the culprit was a baseball that flew through the window from the baseball club practicing outside. Hinano returns the ball to a child and gives Sayaka a perfume she made, wishing her good luck on her date despite Sayaka&#039;s protests.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After realizing Sayaka is not Hinano, Emiri offers to coordinate her wardrobe, claiming to be the &amp;quot;Cutest in the World.&amp;quot; Sayaka learns Emiri is also a magical girl but remains unsatisfied with the outfit suggestions, explaining the person she likes does not care about appearances. Emiri takes her to the top of a tower, where they view the city at night. Sayaka thanks her before heading to the train station, reflecting that her love is supported by the magical girls of Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the outing with Kyosuke arrives. After buying a CD, Kyosuke messages that his train is delayed. Sayaka fights a Witch she senses and meets Kokoro Awane, defeating it together. With time to spare, Kokoro invites her for tea. Sayaka shares that she became a magical girl to heal someone she loves, and Kokoro reveals she wished to bring her family together. Though problems remain, Kokoro believes she can unite them through her own power, and Sayaka finds strength in her words. When Kyosuke is about to arrive, Kokoro encourages her, and Sayaka runs to the station, feeling it will be a good day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ultimate&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart. She also finds Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, who were never supposed to become magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Panicking because she cannot prevent magical girls from becoming witches in this universe, Madoka investigates. She discovers the source blocking her intervention originated when the Holy Quintet first visited Kamihama, and she observes how Touka and Nemu—fated to die in every other universe—are alive and plotting with the Magius to lure Walpurgis Night to hatch Eve. Madoka reflects that their plan, if successful, would achieve what she herself accomplished. Unsure whether to intervene, she decides to investigate further and chooses Iroha as her next focal point, since this is the only universe where Iroha contracted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka observes Iroha’s past and finds the singular difference: on a normal day, Iroha took her usual shortcut but accidentally kicked a small pebble, nearly making her late. This tiny butterfly effect led to Iroha contracting and Ui, Nemu, and Touka surviving, derailing the universe’s fate. Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka decides not to interfere, fearing a clash that could destroy the universe. However, she laments that she may have no choice but to trample Iroha’s wish if this universe, now a singularity, threatens the stability of all other universes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When Kirika kills another magical girl, Oriko decides to use the murders to further distract Kyubey from Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Oriko Mikuni in Magia Record#Side Story|Oriko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Oriko has another vision revealing that Madoka is not in Mitakihara but somewhere else entirely. She witnesses a spatial distortion connecting Mitakihara to Kamihama City and begins to suspect Kamihama might hold the key to changing the future. Oriko sends Kirika to Kamihama under the pretense of buying tea, instructing her to gather information from Mami and other magical girls there. She then takes Yuma to Kamihama herself, leaving her inside a witch barrier knowing Kyoko will come to rescue her. While exploring Kamihama for answers, Oriko nearly dies inside a powerful witch barrier and realizes she needs Kirika&#039;s help to continue. Kirika eventually returns home safely, reporting that Mami and Kyoko are also investigating Kamihama and that the city has an unusually high number of witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They film their first video, but Yachiyo says it is too ordinary. Sana suggests making it more unique. Ui wants to introduce everyone at Mikazuki Villa to their parents. Iroha agrees. They try filming again with a script, but the takes go poorly—Yachiyo overthinks her cooking scene, Felicia struggles to tutor Ui, and Tsuruno is late. Ui suggests they abandon the script and just be themselves. They record a video of their daily life together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* After Mitakihara City’s school closing ceremony, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura walk out together. Sayaka is glad the term is over, Madoka is excited, and Homura admits she will feel lonely without seeing them every day. Sayaka ruffles her hair and says they can still meet over break, whether hunting witches or hanging out. Madoka suggests visiting Mizuna Shrine in Kamihama for New Year’s to draw “Ultimate Fortunes.” Sayaka has other plans but encourages them to go together. After she leaves, Madoka asks Homura if she knows how to put on formal wear. Homura does not, so Madoka invites her to a kimono‑dressing class she found, saying she wanted the two of them to dress up with Sayaka but lacked the courage to go alone. Homura agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class, the instructor dresses them first; Madoka thinks Homura looks beautiful, and Homura calls Madoka cute. When the actual lesson begins, Madoka struggles badly and trips, while Homura learns quickly enough that the instructor says she will have no trouble. Madoka takes a break outside, feeling useless. Sayaka happens by and asks why she wanted to dress up in the first place - to have fun. Sayaka tells her not to overthink; even if she makes mistakes, she will still have the memories. Encouraged, Madoka returns and finally manages to dress herself after another trip.&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year’s Day, both have their formal wear put on at a store. They joke that the class was interesting but not very useful for the real occasion.

* Homura and Madoka find themselves trapped in a strange dream—a life-sized board game set across Kamihama City. They must reach the goal by following the game&#039;s rules.

They meet Aimi, who found a plain notebook with no name. Aimi worries it is someone&#039;s secret fantasy diary and does not want to read it. They take it to the Information Desk and complete the mission. Aimi mentions she is shopping for materials to knit a scarf or gloves for a boy named Hayato.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They try to find Tsukasa but fail. The mission fails again, and they are sent back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Third Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes: buy a lucky bag costing one million Magica. They search for a store and take a break at a cafe. They see Ria being interviewed and overhear a boy named Hayato saying he needs a warmer scarf. They find Kokoro and Masara, who lead them to a stationery lucky bag. Kokoro mentions Tsukasa is still looking for Tsukuyo. Madoka wants to help Tsukasa, and Homura agrees. They find Tsukuyo, who has been wandering and dropped something important. They learn Tsukuyo dropped her exchange diary with Tsukasa—the same notebook Aimi found. The mission completes, but they are sent back to the start again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Sayaka learns the meaning of &amp;quot;When winter comes, spring isn&#039;t far behind&amp;quot; at the end of December. Just before New Year&#039;s Eve, Madoka asks if anyone has plans for the holiday. Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko and Nagisa meet the teacher and children at the park. The kids immediately recognize Kyoko, so the pair double down on the movie lie. The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the performance, Kyoko and Sayaka use quick‑change costumes while Nagisa sneaks discarded clothes off set. The children are awed by the glowing weapons and effects, explained with lighting tricks and soap bubbles. After the class leaves, the group reviews the footage and decides to keep a copy. Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko returns the props to Sayuki, then visits an aquarium to pass time. As she leaves, she spots the same kindergarteners, detects a witch, and rushes to fight it. She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She is hunting for discounted Valentine&#039;s chocolate. She visits Sugar Plum but finds the chocolate coins sold out. She runs into Kyoko.

They form an alliance to share information and split the chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe (Valentine)#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Valentine Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Pink Tapir station store, a clerk informs them the sale has moved to a new outlet location and gives them a map. On the way, a delivery truck carrying the chocolate coins is possessed by a Witch&#039;s Kiss and goes on a rampage. Nagisa and Kyoko chase it, jump onto the truck, and enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Nagisa uses her forbidden technique to defeat the Witch. The truck and other vehicles are unharmed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the outlet store and buy the chocolate coins. Nagisa reflects on her memory of eating Pink Tapir chocolate coins for the first time at a hospital charity event when her mother was sick. She wonders if this universe&#039;s Nagisa would have had the same experience. She and Kyoko hurry to Mami&#039;s chocolate party. Kyoko reveals she bought a chocolate cake from Sugar Plum for everyone. Nagisa shares her pink chocolate coins. Mami is happy they are getting along. The next day, the chocolate hunt continues. At the outlet store, Ms. Saotome buys chocolate coins for a hospital charity event, continuing the tradition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They have more fun than they expected, but Tsukuyo suffers a heat stroke and is cared for by the group after Tsukasa panics. When Tsukasa tries to repay the favor, Yachiyo jokes that she should quit the Wings of Magius, then smiles when Tsukasa refuses as expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

** That night, Yachiyo and Tsuruno return home to find the lights off. Everyone surprises them with a handmade Milky Way made of paper stars. They call it the Mikazuki Way. They also show the edited home video featuring everyone&#039;s messages of gratitude. Yachiyo is moved to tears. She thanks them all, saying she is so happy they are always with her. She says this is the best present ever. Tsuruno turns the stars back on and they enjoy their very own Milky Way. Yachiyo says she never expected her tears would be those of joy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede, Rena, and Momoko have picked out new swimsuits. Momoko could not buy one because she spent her allowance on a concert tour. They decide to go to the beach together. Kaede mentions that Mikazuki Villa is renting a lodge for a study camp. Rena asks Yachiyo if they can join. Yachiyo agrees. They arrive at the lodge. Yachiyo announces that everyone must complete ten pages of homework per subject per day before they can play.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rena &amp;amp; Kaede (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena negotiates with Yachiyo: if they can finish all three days&#039; worth of homework in one day, they can play at the beach tomorrow. Everyone agrees. They study hard together. Rena suggests a reward system to stay motivated. They shout encouragement like at an idol concert. Yachiyo and Momoko help with difficult problems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By evening, everyone has met their quota. Rena and Kaede rush to the beach. But Rena has eaten too much chocolate and feels bloated. She is embarrassed and refuses to go swimming. She goes to bed early.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rena, Kaede, and Momoko finally play at the beach. Mitama, Kanagi, and Mifuyu visit. Mitama has brought homemade rice balls as a reward. To decide who gets them, they hold a fishing contest. Rena and Kaede catch a pufferfish but come in second place. Kanagi wins first place and gets stuck with Mitama&#039;s cooking. Mifuyu is affected first. Rena and Kaede eat the remaining Mitama musubi and feel sick. They rest for the rest of the afternoon. Yachiyo goes shopping alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Rena and Kaede notice Yachiyo acting strange. They follow her and find her with fireworks. Yachiyo admits she bought them for everyone but felt too shy to ask. Rena and Kaede insist on setting them off together. They gather everyone. The group enjoys fireworks on the beach. Rena and Kaede stay up late playing with the leftovers. Momoko reflects on how much they have changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They wake up past noon. There is only an hour before the bus leaves. They quickly change into swimsuits and race to the beach. Rena loses and buys everyone juice.

** They browse swimsuits, but Mitama insists on choosing thoughtfully rather than buying on a whim. They separate briefly, and Mitama runs into Mikage, deflecting questions about what she’s doing. Momoko later admits she also had to make excuses after running into Rena and Kaede. Instead of buying swimsuits, Mitama brings Momoko back for an adjustment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the adjustment, they emerge in new swimsuits—Momoko’s tailored perfectly to her tastes, leaving her flustered but secretly pleased. Mitama teases her and admits she’s nervous but excited.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On contest day, Mitama and Momoko play on the beach. They learn the contest requires performing a shared beach memory with chemistry. They plan to tell the story of Mitama’s deserted island ordeal while Momoko adds her side of worrying. While playing, they fight a Witch together—the first time Mitama has teamed up with someone—then run straight into Rena, Kaede, and Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They win by performing the events of the day instead of their planned story. Rena claims the stuffed bunny, and Mikage gets the Candy World tickets, immediately inviting Mitama. Apologies are exchanged, and the others ask for no more secrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, while Mitama and Momoko clean up, Rena and Kaede take Mikage to get drinks. A girl from Mitama’s past confronts her: the one Mitama accidentally shoved down the stairs years ago. A crowd gathers, muttering rumors, but Momoko defends Mitama and the crowd disperses. The girl realizes it was an accident and offers to help clear Mitama’s name, but Mitama declines, saying she no longer needs it because she has someone who believes in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The group spends the day swimming, building a sandcastle, and splitting into smaller activities. While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond.

===Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story and Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
It has two versions I made, assimilate them if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well.

** At registration, Mitama announces all participants must wear swimwear, offering to transform their outfits for free. Homura is surprisingly excited, and Sayaka gets roped into wearing a ridiculous mushroom‑mermaid costume designed by Kanoko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka in her costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The non‑waterproof suit causes Sayaka to be electrocuted by its built‑in fan, but her Doppel activates and saves her. The Doppel drags Yachiyo into the water, and Yachiyo begins water‑skiing using her fishing rod while being pulled around.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura manages to fish up the Doppel and wins the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other&#039;s backs. Homura happily agrees, ending the day on a warm note.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Homura confronts her Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying summer and relying on Madoka’s kindness. The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurads&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura visit a seaside villa on the outskirts of Kamihama. They meet Felicia and her friends briefly. After parting ways, they decide to visit an aquarium. They participate in an accessory-making workshop using star sand. Inside the aquarium, they meet Ashley, an exchange student from the United States, and Riko. Ashley recognizes them as Magical Girls from Mitakihara because she encountered their copies in Endless Mirrors. They chat and learn Ashley is making videos about kawaii things in Japan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Waverider)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After parting ways with Ashley and Riko, Sayaka wants to visit a CD store. She hopes to find rare CDs for Kyosuke. At the store, she reaches for the same CD as a woman. They discover they both use notepads to track CDs. The woman is Takamine&#039;s wife—Takamine was a violinist who passed away. She collects his recordings to show her daughter. They exchange contact information. Sayaka mentions the upcoming flea market.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Sayaka&#039;s group meets Takamine&#039;s wife and daughter. A strong wind blows the daughter&#039;s hat into the ocean. Sayaka and Kyoko transform into swimsuits and ride a surfboard to retrieve it, using Nagisa&#039;s floaty as a distraction. The hat is recovered. Takamine&#039;s wife realizes she lost her notepad. Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while waiting, Nagisa and Riko play with water guns. Sayaka&#039;s group relaxes on the beach. Madoka and Homura find Sayaka&#039;s copy in Mirrors. The copy lures them into a trap, but they manage to get the CD list from her and escape. They send it to Sayaka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring. They plan for future fights: Sayaka will handle Familiars, Madoka and Homura will immobilize the Witch, and Mami will finish it off. Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the team encounters a paramedic and a girl under a Witch&#039;s influence. They enter the Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. The paramedic wakes up and thanks them and the team slips away quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of school after summer vacation, Mami calls Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura to the roof. Kyoko and Nagisa fought a powerful Witch and retreated. They warn the others and the team meets to plan. Kyoko and Nagisa will immobilize the Witch while Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura handle the Familiars. Mami will finish it off with her new firework attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The ext morning, the Witch appears and the team executes their plan. Mami uses a powerful firework attack, which she names &amp;quot;Fiore Finale,&amp;quot; to defeat the Witch. They rescue the captured people. A paramedic from earlier recognizes them and offers to take care of the victims. The team rushes to school but is late.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A taxi driver from the previous encounter sees them and gives them a ride. He thanks them for protecting the town. They arrive at school just in time.

===Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko invites Homura, Mami, Sayaka, and Madoka to the beach using tickets Mitama gave her after another accidental transformation into her magical swimsuit. The group swims, then Kyoko dominates the buffet. They discover a cliff diving spot, where Sayaka, Mami, and Kyoko take turns jumping while Madoka and Homura watch. They agree to return the day after next, since Madoka is busy the following day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kyoko asks Mitama to let her keep the swimsuit form for the summer, then heads to the beach alone. There she finds Ui Tamaki practicing swimming by herself, desperate to learn by the next day so she can join her family cliff diving. Kyoko watches over her, and later Sayaka arrives to help. Ui improves, but a rip current nearly sweeps her away; Kyoko rescues her. Moved by Ui’s determination, Kyoko keeps training her until sunset, and Ui finally masters swimming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully. Later, Kyoko visits Mitama to revert her outfit, explaining she wants to learn swimming properly rather than relying on magic. She trades a Grief Seed for money to buy ramune as payment for a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Eternal Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Momoko Togame (Sanctified)#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi meet again. Mitama shares her realization: her grief has ended. She now wants to make amends and carve a new future for Kamihama. They discuss ideas for the student conference. Kanagi suggests a sports festival. Mitama suggests a festival with food stalls. They joke about romance and love interests. Mitama feels lighter and ready to move forward. She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Touka and Nemu separately sneak to Ui’s room to leave apology notes. They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the real world, Tsuruno gives gelato to Ui and Felicia. Ui is absorbed in playing a game called &amp;quot;Little Vacation&amp;quot; on Tsuruno&#039;s phone. The game follows Tsuruno and Felicia as Reindeer Santas traveling to reach the End of the World and the Wishing Star.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia (Special Delivery)#Side Story|Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno uses the Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a hint: &amp;quot;The key is something you don&#039;t know the importance of until it&#039;s gone. This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They leave, having failed to deliver smiles for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Town of Miraculous ☆ Prestidigitations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the next town. They meet Mitama, a magician performing tricks, and twins Rion and Hotori. Mitama attempts to teleport Hotori but accidentally duplicates her. There are now two Hotoris. Tsuruno and Felicia try to help. The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win. The duplicates are left behind. The single Tsuruno who lost is left alone without Reindeer-san #2 or the Okamochi Box. She decides to continue traveling anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; The three Tsurunos reunite and discuss the hints from the Okamochi Box. They realize &amp;quot;three heads are better than one&amp;quot; refers to them working together to solve the Maze Town puzzle.

*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game.

===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents. Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia return home and ask to hear the full story, so Yachiyo retrieves the scarf from the time capsule where she had hidden it years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Holy Mami claims she has learned the truth about magical girls from Alina Gray and Touka Satomi and has found a way to save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami has tea with Touka and Alina at a house rented for her by Touka. Mami explains she has not returned to Mitakihara because her priority is releasing magical girls. Touka and Alina offer to lecture her on what she needs to study. Alina grows disturbingly excited discussing van Gogh&#039;s Sunflowers, and Touka lectures at length on mathematics until Alina interrupts. Mami reassures them she will ask for help when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina receives a call from the Amane sisters requesting help with a Witch. Touka asks Mami to assist, explaining she has a lecture to give at noon to recruit skilled magical girls. Mami agrees, reflecting that releasing magical girls requires Grief Seeds, protecting Rumors, and raising Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane waiting for her. They explain the Witch has moved and the Black Feathers are monitoring it. A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When she mentions she will spend Christmas Eve at the aquarium with a friend, her friends press to join, but Rika refuses. She advises them not to look for boyfriends just to avoid being alone. Later, while walking with her friends, Rika spots Ren chasing after Aimi Eri. She follows and finds Ren comforting Aimi over a misunderstanding involving a boy; the situation resolves without trouble.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Ren waits for Rika, who messages that she overslept with a fever. Ren worries Rika became sick chasing after her the day before. Before she can reply, Aimi finds her, and they go shopping together. Aimi encourages Ren to visit Rika instead of staying apart. Ren goes to Rika’s house, knocks on her window, and insists they spend Christmas together there so Rika can rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They exchange gifts: Ren gives Rika scented candles, having noticed Rika’s interest from a sticky note, and Rika gives Ren a glass candlestick. Rika hopes they can visit the aquarium another time, and Ren leaves happy to have shared Christmas with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, assimilate them if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumor Tsuruno begins designing the park, adding a merry-go-round, roller coaster, spa, shops, and a cafe. The mascots warn that once the park is complete, she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world. Rumor Tsuruno claims no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she imagines comfort foods with hot pot as the main star, she is reminded of Mikazuki Villa. She brushes it off and completes the park. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Uwasa Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana looks at a Mr. Purrs-a-lot picture book and feels down. Ui notices and asks what is wrong. Sana admits she wants to become a picture book author to help people who are suffering like she once was. She has many ideas but does not know how to write them. Ui encourages her. Sana says she is starting from zero and needs to practice writing. Ui suggests she settle on one main idea. Sana recalls a story about the Rice God from Yachiyo and decides to write a practice story about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana writes a story about the Rice God punishing Felicia for not finishing her rice. Ui enjoys it. Sana realizes she also needs to entertain readers while conveying her message. She decides her first picture book theme will be &amp;quot;friends.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana and Ui discuss the main character. Sana models her after Ai, the Uwasa of the Anonymous A.I. She names the heroine Aoi. Sana writes the first part of the story: Aoi leaves the &amp;quot;Land of Beginnings&amp;quot; and arrives at the &amp;quot;Land of Blessings,&amp;quot; where residents constantly fight. Aoi suggests a picnic to help them understand each other. The residents grow closer. Ui enjoys the story. Sana reveals she wants to leave behind proof of Ai&#039;s existence before she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana asks Nemu for permission to use a character modelled after Ai in her picture book. Nemu agrees, saying she is happy Sana wishes to preserve Ai. Nemu advises Sana on how to become a published author: enter contests or approach publishers directly. Sana becomes discouraged when she realizes she would have to interact with people who cannot see her. She leaves feeling hopeless.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana wanders alone, feeling invisible. She helps a girl find a lost ring but is not noticed. She thinks her dream is impossible. Tsuruno, Felicia, and Ui find her, worried because she was not answering calls. Iroha and Yachiyo also arrive. Nemu calls and suggests Sana could use an agent to communicate with publishers, avoiding direct meetings. Sana regains her resolve. Yachiyo tells her not to give up on her dream. Iroha and the others promise to support her. Sana realizes she has a family to help her get back up.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana finishes her first picture book, &amp;quot;A Small Encounter.&amp;quot; The story follows Shana, an invisible girl who is found by Aoi and makes her first friend. Sana decides to show it to everyone and get their thoughts. She promises to keep persevering for Ai&#039;s sake and for everyone who supports her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 1 (Flashback/Reflection)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi wakes from a nap and remembers the dream she had when fused with the Kimochi. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words that helped her realize she had not truly given up. Iroha told her that those who have given up do not fight, and that Lavi came to Kamihama because she still wanted to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro (Kimochi)#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects on the hope she once held—a daydream of a peaceful life where magical girls are understood. In that dream, she helped her mother, tended fields with her grandfather, watched Urara&#039;s street performances, and attended exhibitions with Shirogane. She encountered other magical girls: Asahi, Haitani, Kuroda, Urara, and Alexandra. They fought witches together and enjoyed everyday moments. Lavi realized she had locked away this hope because remembering it was painful. But now, through her connection with Iroha and her time with Nayuta, she has begun to see the future again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 2 (Daydream/Desired Future)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi dreams of a happy future where the Automatic Purification System has spread and peace has come. She, Nayuta, and Mikage go on a trip to Yukuni. They encounter many acquaintances: Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and Mikazuki Villa. Due to a scheduling mistake, everyone arrives at the same inn on the same day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** There is not enough premium beef for dinner. The groups compete in hot spring table tennis, karaoke, and pillow fights to decide who gets the meat. Yuna cheats in table tennis and is disqualified. The karaoke machine is outdated. The pillow fight becomes chaotic. Asahi saves the day with gibier meat. Everyone shares the meal and enjoys the evening together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects that this bustling, noisy future is unlike her usual self, but she realizes she has been yearning for it deep down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 3 (Reality/Current Time)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi teaches Nayuta cooking. They discuss their futures: Nayuta wants to study magical girls at a university different from her father&#039;s. Lavi wants to help at her family&#039;s inn while spreading magical girl activities. They plan a trip with Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Upon arriving at Cradle of the Earth in Yukuni, they encounter Mikazuki Villa, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and the Tokime Clan—just as in Lavi&#039;s dream. There is again not enough meat for dinner. Lavi is overwhelmed but also excited. She realizes that even if the past cannot be undone, they can move forward together and create a bright future. She announces they will compete over the meat and create a new future with all of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Yachiyo wakes at Mikazuki Villa and briefly senses Iroha&#039;s magical signature before it disappears. She sends Felicia and Sana off to school, then meets Momoko, Rena, and Kaede for lunch. Rena confesses she screamed in class, unable to contain her frustration that everyone has forgotten Iroha. Yachiyo realizes she had convinced herself she accepted Iroha&#039;s disappearance but had actually just given up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo meets with Mifuyu, Kanagi, and Hinano to discuss Magical Girls&#039; declining mental states. That evening, she finds Sana&#039;s discarded picture book manuscript.

Later, Yachiyo meets with Yuna, Shizuka, Himena, and Lavi to discuss the ongoing grief before departing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo attends the Kamihama Student Conference results meeting, where Mifuyu notes Rena has improved since seeing Iroha&#039;s signature. Yachiyo receives a call from Tsuruno: Felicia has run away. That evening, Felicia calls, planning to leave Kamihama to escape her guilt. Yachiyo tracks her location and rushes to the station with Tsuruno. Tsuruno finds Felicia, who confesses she cannot forget Iroha. Tsuruno shares Yachiyo&#039;s message: they should say &amp;quot;thank you&amp;quot; rather than &amp;quot;I&#039;m sorry.&amp;quot; Felicia agrees and returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome and Aru lead Yachiyo and Felicia to a location near the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Iroha&#039;s presence is stronger. Yachiyo suggests a picnic there. She leaves for a magazine interview, where she admits Iroha is no longer by her side. Later at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo attempts to make Iroha&#039;s hamburger steak recipe but is overwhelmed by grief and retreats to her room, admitting she fears she is breaking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Preparations for the picnic are underway. Yachiyo reveals her true purpose: she plans to use the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura to bring Iroha back by traveling through the Mirror Witch, even offering to take Iroha&#039;s place. When the others refuse to help, she attempts to go alone. Felicia uses her oblivion magic on Yachiyo and she forgets the plan entirely. Yachiyo continues preparing lunch as if nothing happened. They travel to the Rumor for the picnic. Along the way, Yachiyo asks the others to stop her if she ever loses control and tries something insane, admitting she can act on impulse when she loses composure. She also tells them they are all irreplaceable to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kanae arrives at Mikazuki Villa with a letter for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. While waiting for Yachiyo, she ends up having tea with the grandmother, who shares memories of Yachiyo and Mifuyu growing up—their failed surprise party, helping a lovesick university student, and Yachiyo standing up to Mifuyu&#039;s mother after a koto recital. Kanae grows emotional, feeling she only causes trouble compared to them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyoMifuyuStartingOutss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu (Starting Out)#Side Story|Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Iroha and Yachiyo go grocery shopping during a sale. Felicia sneaks an expensive cut of meat into the cart after Tsuruno quotes a show, forcing Yachiyo to buy it. Back home, Yachiyo punishes Felicia and Tsuruno by making them organize the storage room, where they find an old photo of Yachiyo with her former modeling group.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaYachiyoFinalBattless&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha &amp;amp; Yachiyo (Final Battle)#Side Story|Iroha &amp;amp; Yachiyo&#039;s Final Battle Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;

* Several days later, Iroha nervously practices posing at school. Rena, Momoko, and Kaede find her; Rena offers to help. Meanwhile, Yachiyo excitedly prepares for the shoot until Sana and Ui realize Iroha only accepted out of financial worry. Yachiyo finds Iroha training at a café and apologizes for pushing her. They clear up the misunderstanding, and Iroha decides to still try the shoot—but suggests they simply act natural together in front of the camera.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaYachiyoFinalBattless&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha &amp;amp; Yachiyo (Final Battle)#Side Story|Iroha &amp;amp; Yachiyo&#039;s Final Battle Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the shoot, Iroha admits it was a failure: she froze when they tried to be serious. Still, they had fun and kept a photo that shows their close bond. Because they didn’t get the job, the household faces a tight budget, much to Felicia and Tsuruno’s dismay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaYachiyoFinalBattless&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha &amp;amp; Yachiyo (Final Battle)#Side Story|Iroha &amp;amp; Yachiyo&#039;s Final Battle Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Two Hands in Harmony|Two Hands in Harmony]]&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. It may already be done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane complain about being overworked as guardians of a Rumor and fear the anger of Touka, Alina, and Nemu. They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

===A Taste of Hospitality===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - A Taste of Hospitality|A Taste of Hospitality]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko and Ashley help Mitama film a video about her Coordinator services, whre she explains that she adjusts Soul Gems to draw out hidden potential, that she sees memories during adjustments but keeps them confidential, and that she also sells items for Magical Girls. As payment for the video, Riko gives Mitama an origami dog (Mameji) and Ashley gives her blue candy from her home, both of which Mitama puts in a box.&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, Mitama receives many gifts from Magical Girls, including Kokoro, Reira, Mito, Felicia, Ayame, Kako, Yachiyo, Karin, Himika, Rika and Emiri, the last of whom says that when people share their favorite things, it means they want to share what they love with Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama hums happily, which Momoko and Kanagi notice and feel a bad omen. Mitama announces that she wants to share what she loves with everyone and that she plans a party with food that she will cook. She asks Momoko and Kanagi to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;

===Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin|Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One winter’s day before Christmas, Rika and Ren go shopping together. The town has no Christmas decorations and people seem depressed. They hear a distressed voice and find Mitama, wearing a Santa&#039;s beard and hat, and she introduces herself as a Christmas Spirit. Mitama says her job is to make everyone happy, but the task is too big. She gives Rika and Ren some of her magic, explaining that the magic requires them to be perfectly attuned to each other, and then she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, a swallow Familiar appears, claiming to be Mitama’s pupil and Rika names him Chirpie. Chirpie explains that Mitama saved him when he fell from his nest and gave him magic. He can sense cowardly hearts lacking courage and Rika and Ren must drive out ten cowardly hearts to make the town happy. Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chirpie leads them to Felicia and Sana, who had accidentally smashed a cake and are now arguing about who should apologize to Yachiyo. Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines|Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 13th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mitama is away from her shop, but Tsuruno is there, using the kitchen to make chocolate bonbons with a friend. She plans to surprise everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 14th:&#039;&#039;&#039; On Valentine&#039;s Day, Tsuruno gives beautifully wrapped chocolates to Iroha, Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana and Ui at Mikazuki Villa. Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rise of the Waning Moon===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Rise of the Waning Moon|Rise of the Waning Moon]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day during lunch break, Kanagi goes to Himika’s classroom, telling her she just wanted to see her face, which Himika finds strange.&lt;br /&gt;
** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;

They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;

She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river.

** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral.

** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models. She does not know what to post and is shy about taking selfies. Iroha suggests posting photos of herself and takes pictures of Yachiyo on a float with the sunset. Yachiyo is embarrassed but agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Tsuruno want a turn on the float. Everyone climbs on, and Mitama takes a group photo just as they all fall into the water. Iroha loves the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the pool photos are popular online. Yachiyo&#039;s manager says going to the pool was a good move. Yachiyo thanks Iroha and says she might take her up on being her photographer again. She sends the group photo to everyone. Iroha says the photo may not be &amp;quot;social media-worthy&amp;quot; but it captures who they are. They agree to go back to the pool again—summer is just getting started.&lt;br /&gt;

Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
** She met a girl named &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; N told Kako who was responsible and what she needed to do to destroy them. Kako clung to her. She later learned N was manipulative and saw others as pawns. Kako hates N and wants revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;

She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kako learned Nanaka faked her struggle to entrap her into making the wish. Nanaka had pulled this trick on others to use them as pawns. Kako could not forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka. She returned it unopened, saying it seemed wrong to read something Nanaka only sent by accident. Nanaka smiled and said Kako was dazzling. She said she would try to tell Kako her feelings in person someday.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako thinks Nanaka overestimates her, but she is no longer as scared and helpless as she used to be. She is a Magical Girl who protects the city by Nanaka&#039;s side.&lt;br /&gt;

After parting ways, Mito meets an old man in the park who is a paper play storyteller. He invites her to come see a show sometime.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mito tells Reira and Seika about the storyteller. They go to watch his performance of &amp;quot;The Golden Grapes.&amp;quot; The children love it. Workers put up a sign that the park is closing next month, which means the storyteller will lose his performance space.&lt;br /&gt;

===Kokoro Awane&#039;s Heartphial Story: A World Where I Never Was===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro Awane reflects on her life. Before, she hated herself so many times for making her wish, kicking herself for it. She thought that since it was her fault, she had to do something about it. But now, all she wants is to do the best she can as a family of three with all her heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro goes hiking with Masara. They sing a cookie song but disagree on the lyrics—Masara says it is &amp;quot;knead,&amp;quot; while Kokoro remembers &amp;quot;mix.&amp;quot; Kokoro mentions a rumor about parallel universes and false memories. At the summit, Kokoro reminisces about hiking with her parents when she was little. She reveals that after her mother left, her family fell apart. Her father struggled as a single parent. Kokoro wished to Kyubey for her mother to come home. Her mother returned, but her parents&#039; relationship did not improve. Kokoro felt she had to work harder to fix things.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Kokoro remembers meeting Masara. Masara bluntly told her that it was not her fault, and those words finally got through. Kokoro stopped trying to fix everything alone and started getting her whole family to work together.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present Day) After the hike, Kokoro hears a voice talking about the Rumor of Parallel Memories. She finds a CD of the cookie song in a bargain bin. The lyrics on the back say &amp;quot;mix,&amp;quot; not &amp;quot;knead.&amp;quot; She wonders if it is an item from a parallel universe. She feels dizzy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro finds herself in a parallel world. Her house is now a café. Her parents run it together and are happily married. They do not recognize her. Kokoro sees they are close and in love, just like when she was little. She hears about attractions and brands she has never heard of. Her mother sings the cookie song with &amp;quot;mix.&amp;quot; Kokoro realizes she was never born in this world. She feels painful but also jealous of their happiness. She thinks her parents might have been better off without her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro wishes to go home. She feels dizzy again. She hears her parents calling her name. She wakes up to find she had collapsed. Her parents found her and called an ambulance. She is taken to the hospital. She wonders if the parallel world was real or just a dream.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Kokoro&#039;s parents bake cookies together. They include her in the process. Her mother sings a version of the cookie song with different lyrics—&amp;quot;stir, stir, stir them well, that taste of happiness.&amp;quot; Kokoro asks her mother to sing the old part. Her mother says she just did. Kokoro changes her mind and says she does not want to hear it anymore. She prefers these cookies, the ones the three of them made together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Himika Mao&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Lucky Break Lost &amp;amp; Found===&lt;br /&gt;
* Himika Mao reflects on her life. Her family is far from rich, so when her dad got sick and collapsed, her whole world went dark. But it was her family&#039;s smiling faces that kept her going through it all. That is why she will continue to fight to protect them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Himika goes shopping for bargains and wins a grand prize from a drawing: a 2-night stay at a luxury hotel with a pool on a tropical island, complete with meals. She is thrilled to take her whole family. She hides the ticket in a Baby Bunny pouch for safekeeping.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Himika&#039;s father worked day and night to support their family of eight. He collapsed from overwork. He survived but could not work like before. The family was running out of money.

Her father recovered, and her family returned to a normal, peaceful life.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present Day) Himika&#039;s friends Kako and Ayame visit. Himika cannot find the ticket. She realizes she mistook the pouch for a stuffed animal and sent it away in a box of Mocha Bunny dolls for a crane game prize. She calls the shipping company, but the boxes have already been handed to a subcontractor.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama suggests having Himika&#039;s father call the subcontractor to track down the pouch. Himika&#039;s father does so. The company says they will search for it.&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Rena calls Himika. She saw the Baby Bunny pouch in a crane game at an arcade. Himika, Kako, Ayame, Rena, and Kaede go to the arcade. The pouch is in the replenishment case, meaning Himika must win all the Mocha Bunnies already out to reach it. Himika decides to use a strategy but is short on money.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika observes other players to learn techniques, calling it &amp;quot;crane training.&amp;quot; She strategizes to create an avalanche by knocking down piles of plushies. She successfully clears most of the machine. The staff restocks the machine, placing the pouch inside surrounded by four giant Mocha Bunnies.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika aims to move two bunnies out of the way to reach the pouch. She successfully clears the pandas and one bunny. She realizes there are two Baby Bunny pouches, not one. She cannot tell which is hers. She has only three tries left. She misses on two tries. On her final try, she aims for both pouches at once and succeeds. The crowd applauds.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Himika&#039;s family goes on the tropical vacation. She explains that when she asked Kyubey to cure her dad, what she really wanted was for her family to be back together. She later learns from a staff member that if she had explained the situation at first, they would have just given her the pouch back. All&#039;s well that ends well.&lt;br /&gt;

Rika said that as long as you have one shining thing in the world, you can keep going.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (present) Ren and Rika go shopping. Ren finds an earring someone dropped and returns it. The owner is grateful. Ren feels happy and buys a colored pencil. She thinks about adding color to her bear story. She decides to use the Cherry Pink pencil because Rika loves pink.

* Rika messages Ren, apologizing and saying she was planning a surprise birthday party. Ren does not reply. She hides in a dark room at school. Rika finds her and calls her instead of opening the door. Rika explains she wanted to surprise Ren. She gives Ren a set of 12 colored pencils with a carved lily of the valley on the case. Ren cries and thanks her. The bear cub looks up and sees the Spirit of Light smiling at her. Her world is once again filled with light.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren buys another colored pencil. She notices the name is &amp;quot;Blue Sky&amp;quot; instead of &amp;quot;Sky Blue.&amp;quot; She hears a voice talking about the Rumor of Parallel Memories. She feels dizzy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren dreams she is dead. She cannot see or touch her parents. They mourn her suicide. She never became a Magical Girl and never met Rika. She watches her friends go to the teddy bear exhibition without her. She is invisible. She feels awful and wants to go back to the land of the living. She remembers the colored pencil with the different name—that must be the proof of another world. She holds it and wishes to live. She wakes up. It was all a dream. Rika messages her to join everyone for snacks. Ren goes to meet them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren finishes her bear story. The gatekeeper asks the bear cub if she has any regrets. The bear cub says yes. She wishes to leave behind her journal, filled with entries about the Spirit of Light and all the sparkles she showed her. The gatekeeper opens the gates. The bear cub does not say goodbye because she knows she will see the Spirit of Light again someday in the World of Light. Ren realizes the bear cub is reborn, just like she was when she met Rika and her friends. She can live in a world full of color.&lt;br /&gt;

They became sisters bound by a bond stronger than blood. The director treated them like family.&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before becoming Magical Girls) Azalea House was to be torn down due to unknown powerful forces. The stress of it claimed the director&#039;s life. Kyubey appeared and offered contracts.

&lt;br /&gt;
* A teacher asks Hazuki to deliver worksheets to Nanaka. Hazuki is reluctant because Konoha distrusts Nanaka after an incident where Nanaka&#039;s team tricked them into fighting a powerful Witch.

The director taught her to smile when her heart truly felt it. She met Konoha and Ayame there. They became family. They made wishes to protect Azalea House and left to live together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka listens quietly. She says she finally understands Hazuki&#039;s true self. Nanaka grows pale and cold. Hazuki worries she might collapse. Hazuki insists they huddle closer. Nanaka admits she is cold. They wait together.&lt;br /&gt;

** (Flashback - Azalea House) Ayame dreams of the Director. She remembers the day Azalea House was going to be torn down. The Director had already passed away. Konoha, Hazuki, and Ayame met Kyubey and decided to become Magical Girls. Ayame wished for Azalea House to stay open forever. Konoha wished to eliminate all threats to it. They decided on a third wish: to have everyone at Azalea House forget they were ever there. They left the orphanage and started living together. Ayame remembers Konoha&#039;s promise that they would always be together. She reflects on her conflict with Konoha over her friendship with Kako. She wishes the Director could tell her what to do.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

* Masara meets Kokoro Awane in a Labyrinth. Kokoro is uncomfortable with Masara&#039;s reckless fighting and tells her to protect herself more. Masara says she does not care if she dies. Kokoro says her family would care. Masara questions why Kokoro blames herself for her family&#039;s problems. Kokoro asks if they can stick together. Masara agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a Witch hunt, they&#039;re attacked by a Witch and Masara takes a hit to protect Kokoro. She gets a scar. She starts avoiding Kokoro because she does not understand her feelings. Mitama explains that Masara fears seeing Kokoro get hurt, so she avoids her to prevent that pain. Masara realizes she fears losing Kokoro, so they reconcile.&lt;br /&gt;
* The swim club announces the relay team. Masara is chosen but declines, saying she is not good at team sports. Koshino, who has always been second to Masara, is chosen as her replacement. Koshino vows to beat Masara&#039;s record.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback, but the entirety seems like mostly a flashback) Kyubey offers Rika any wish in exchange for becoming a Magical Girl. Hinano warns her not to do it, but Rika ignores the advice. She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky. She realizes she is dying, having protected Yachiyo. She remembers how everyone was fighting for dear life. She wished she were stronger to help them. She is sorry for not being stronger. She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ashley Taylor&#039;s Heartphial Story: Can&#039;t Be Myself Without What I Love===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley Taylor reflects on her life. Studying in Japan is awesome fun. She wants to find more kawaii for her vlog viewers back home and asks her father to watch over her while she pursues her passions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley vlogs with Riko&#039;s help. She films herself shopping for Magical Kirin merch and gurokawa items. After editing and uploading the video, she replies to comments from her followers. She thinks about her father and hopes he is watching.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley remembers the day she wanted to study abroad in Japan. Her father refused without giving a clear reason, which was unusual. Kyubey appeared and offered to grant any wish. Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko notices Ashley seems down. She worries Ashley is overworking herself by vlogging daily and replying to comments late at night. Ashley says it does not feel like work because she loves it. She thanks Riko for being a kind friend. They go out to film another vlog.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley continues vlogging daily. She worries about skipping a day because her followers might unfollow her. She wakes up to find Kumanosuke missing. She panics, feeling like her world is ending. Riko arrives with a bento and finds Ashley crying. Ashley explains she lost Kumanosuke. Riko comforts her and says it is okay to skip a vlog. Ashley admits she has been using followers&#039; comments to fill the hole left by her father&#039;s death. Riko says she understands loss—she misses her sister who moved far away. They decide to search for Kumanosuke.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko suggests Ashley ask her followers for help finding Kumanosuke. During a live stream, a commenter suggests rewatching her previous vlog. Ashley realizes she left Kumanosuke on a chair when she got distracted by a crane machine. They find Kumanosuke on a shelf at the store, dressed in Waloli Gurokawa clothes. Ashley gets him back. She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

* At the hospital, a nurse tries to convince Touka to eat her carrots. Touka refuses unless her terms are met: she wants specific books brought to her. The books are Hachslingen&#039;s &amp;quot;General Theory of the Origin of the Universe,&amp;quot; Cosinberg&#039;s &amp;quot;Celestial Forces,&amp;quot; and Dadatri&#039;s &amp;quot;Glimmer of the Planet.&amp;quot; She claims no one will hand them over. The nurse eventually gives up on the carrots.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Future Relationships|Future Relationships ~Current Status with Onee-sama~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha arrives, having been called by Ui. Ui admits she asked Iroha to search for the books Touka wanted, having written out the titles for her.

** Nemu deduces that Touka is acting like Princess Kaguya, requesting treasures she knows do not exist to avoid eating her carrots. Exposed, Touka reluctantly eats a carrot.

* One day, the girls play a number-guessing game. Touka wins five times in a row. Iroha suggests Touka and Nemu call her something more casual.

* Touka eagerly awaits Iroha&#039;s arrival to play Old Maid, noting Iroha has won first place seven times in a row but that her face always gives the game away. Nemu observes to Ui that Touka frequently says &amp;quot;Onee-sama&amp;quot; now, likely because Iroha is her first elder sister. Nemu quietly reflects that Iroha is her first Onee-san as well. Iroha arrives and greets them all warmly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A familiar appears and attacks. Touka is overwhelmed. Iroha arrives and fights it off, guided by Kyubey. She expresses concern for Ui and her friends. Ui realizes it really is her big sister and Touka recognizes Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* At the hospital, a nurse tries to convince Touka to eat her carrots. Touka refuses unless her terms are met: she wants specific books brought to her. The books are Hachslingen&#039;s &amp;quot;General Theory of the Origin of the Universe,&amp;quot; Cosinberg&#039;s &amp;quot;Celestial Forces,&amp;quot; and Dadatri&#039;s &amp;quot;Glimmer of the Planet.&amp;quot; She claims no one will hand them over. The nurse eventually gives up on the carrots.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Future Relationships|Future Relationships ~Current Status with Onee-sama~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha arrives, having been called by Ui. Ui admits she asked Iroha to search for the books Touka wanted, having written out the titles for her. Iroha apologizes, explaining she could not find them no matter how she searched. Touka becomes flustered.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu deduces that Touka is acting like Princess Kaguya, requesting treasures she knows do not exist to avoid eating her carrots. Exposed, Touka reluctantly eats a carrot. Nemu thanks Iroha and makes Touka apologize for the trouble. Touka gives a half-hearted apology.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the girls play a number-guessing game. Touka wins five times in a row. Iroha suggests Touka and Nemu call her something more casual. Touka chooses &amp;quot;Onee-sama.&amp;quot; Nemu asks to call her &amp;quot;Onee-san.&amp;quot; Iroha happily agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka eagerly awaits Iroha&#039;s arrival to play Old Maid, noting Iroha has won first place seven times in a row but that her face always gives the game away. Nemu observes to Ui that Touka frequently says &amp;quot;Onee-sama&amp;quot; now, likely because Iroha is her first elder sister. Nemu quietly reflects that Iroha is her first Onee-san as well. Iroha arrives and greets them all warmly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A familiar appears and attacks. Touka is overwhelmed. Iroha arrives and fights it off, guided by Kyubey. She expresses concern for Ui and her friends. Ui realizes it really is her big sister and Touka recognizes Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call|Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wait, You Got It Wrong!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayu Kozue&#039;s most treasured possession is a bear pendant her father carved for her before he died. When a hand-drawn postcard is stolen from the museum where she works, security footage shows her friend Ria at the scene moments later. Mayu cannot reach Ria and suspects a Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~|Wait, You Got It Wrong! / Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While searching for Ria, Mayu encounters Asuka Tatsuki, whose family&#039;s invaluable book of secrets was also stolen. A witness described a blonde girl in a Mizuna uniform—Ria. They find Sayuki Fumino crying over her stolen sword book, then Rena Minami who was bumped by the same girl. At Walnut&#039;s restaurant, Manaka Kurumi accuses Ria of stealing a rice omelet. A Witch barrier appears, and after Mayu and Asuka defeat the Familiars, Ria arrives demanding to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka challenges Ria to a duel over the thefts, and Ria loses. She confesses to something embarrassing, and everyone assumes she means the thefts—but she meant a binder of idol clippings she desperately hopes no one saw. She was only chasing the Witch to recover her own stolen belongings. Relieved, Mayu and Asuka join her. They track and defeat the Witch, recovering most items, but the museum postcard, the dojo book, and Ria&#039;s binder remain missing. They agree to search again tomorrow. That night, Mayu dreams of her father, who tells her material things are destined to break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, thefts continue across the city. Mayu realizes the Witch they defeated was only a Familiar and the real Witch is still out there. She offers her precious pendant as bait to track it. Despite Ria&#039;s protests, Mayu uses it, and they follow the magic trail to the Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After a difficult battle, they recover all stolen items, though Mayu&#039;s pendant is scratched and its chain broken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu is unbothered. She explains that material possessions naturally break, but the memories they hold remain in her heart—a lesson from her father. Asuka and Ria are moved, and Mayu turns to walk home, promptly falls into a lake, and flounders while Ria sighs that she has not changed at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor she calls Miss K. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Miss K with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Miss K&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Miss K to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

===&amp;quot;Let&#039;s hit the Suitoku baths! (Music Collection 1 bonus drama)&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo, Iroha, and Sana prepare a meal. Felicia reluctantly helps. Tsuruno arrives with a flyer for Suitokuyu, a public bathhouse holding an event as part of a shopping district revitalization plan. She invites everyone to go together. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the bathhouse, they read the posted rules. Tsuruno pretends to be a &amp;quot;bathhouse master&amp;quot; and teaches them. Sana becomes embarrassed about being naked in front of everyone. Yachiyo understands her feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Villa. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;
~A Little Break For Us~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===This is The Warmest Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha is going about her day when Sana, Felicia, and Ui present her with a pinwheel and ask her to blow on it. Though confused by their strange behavior, Iroha does as they ask and the girls thank her before quickly scampering off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~#This Is The Warmest Day Login Special|This is The Warmest Day]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts. When Yachiyo asks Iroha&#039;s opinion, Iroha expresses her love for shortcake and suggests they bake one immediately, but Yachiyo insists she wait for the right moment, which will come sooner than she thinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Lavi is shopping when Nayuta finds her to share news about her math test score. They return home where Lavi prepares dinner, and Nayuta discovers Lavi earned perfect scores in every subject, highlighting the gap between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House|The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day while Lavi runs errands, Nayuta confides in Mikage about her fears that Lavi only respects her father and secretly resents serving her. Seeking answers, Nayuta visits Mitama, who suggests that kindness and broad-mindedness are the traits she needs to develop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Nayuta observes how hard Lavi works attending school, studying, handling housework, and fighting witches. Worried she might collapse, Nayuta offers Lavi time off for her upcoming sixteenth birthday and secretly plans a surprise party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later on Lavi&#039;s birthday, Nayuta and Mikage struggle through cleaning the house and preparing a celebration. Their efforts are interrupted when Lavi returns early for lunch, scolds them for the mess, but leaves again at Nayuta&#039;s insistence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Lavi returns that evening, the handmade kusudama falls onto the cake and catches fire. Lavi extinguishes it with water, and Nayuta is left mortified as her surprise party fails spectacularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Nayuta senses lingering coldness from Lavi and struggles to find the right way to apologize. Remembering her father&#039;s example, she decides to catch and cook a fish as an apology gift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day at a fishing center, Nayuta encounters girls from the Tokime clan who teach her how to gut fish. Despite being disturbed by the process, she perseveres and eventually catches the exact fish she wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning home late, Nayuta discovers a threatening letter addressed to Lavi and deduces it must be connected to the serious trouble from Lavi&#039;s hometown. She rushes to the market street with Mikage to protect her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the market street, Nayuta confronts the man speaking with Lavi, declaring herself as Satomi Tasuke&#039;s daughter to intimidate him. The man reveals he is simply a stalker with no connection to Lavi&#039;s past, and when he becomes agitated, Nayuta tackles him unconscious as a crowd applauds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Nayuta presents the cooked fish and apologizes. Lavi admits she was barely angry anymore and thanks Nayuta for protecting her, acknowledging she was just like her father in that moment. Nayuta produces a second kusudama and cake, and this time the celebration succeeds. As they pick confetti from the cake, Lavi quietly says she will continue to admire Nayuta until the final day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Art 02 01 0003 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune. The Rumor says that if you receive the book and find a drawing of yourself, the sketched event will happen and if you try to stop it, a creature named Ketch drags you into the book. Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Art 02 01 0010 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One summer morning, Mitama is at her shop and she has set up a small café corner called Hot☆Corner. The cat, Doyle, is especially attached to her lately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery|The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Rumored Temp Counselor===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

===Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away|Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

===Always Waving my Hand at You===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Sakuya wakes from another nightmare about the Futatsugi war, where she killed her best friend. She resolves to continue her undercover mission at Iroha&#039;s school and avoid friendships at all costs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Always Waving my Hand at You|Always Waving my Hand at You / I’ll Keep Waving at You]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Ryoko tracks Sakuya down at her school, creating a scene about missing shoes that sparks gossip. After learning Sakuya may be engineering her own isolation, Ryoko continues her efforts to help, but Sakuya runs away each time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Ryoko investigates and discovers Sakuya hid her own shoes and started the gossip to isolate herself. Sakuya confesses she killed her best friend in the war and must remain alone to avoid hurting anyone else. Ryoko declares she will save Sakuya by becoming her best friend, and they fight until exhausted. That night, Sakuya dreams of her deceased friend, who thanks her and tells her to move forward. She wakes to find Ryoko collapsed from hunger, and they talk for hours like ordinary friends. Though they agree they cannot meet again until the battles are over, they promise to become true friends then.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the following days, Sakuya returns to normal life by socializing with classmates, sleeping better, and regaining her spirits. Ryoko gains a new goal: to free Sakuya from the things that bind her, once and for all, when the time is right.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls in Kush, who transforms into a vampire and she wins the contest. Natsuki takes second place and Karin takes third place. A commemorative photo is taken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin completes her manga, &amp;quot;The Pumpkin King and the Ghost Servant.&amp;quot; She shows it to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede who praise it, giving it 100 points or more. Kaede appreciates the happy ending. Karin is moved by Kaede&#039;s approval. Manaka arrives with pumpkin pie for a taste test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the Sakae Halloween Festa, Karin arrives at the festival in her Pumpkin King costume. Alina is also present, already dressed as the ghost servant from Karin&#039;s manga. Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head of the executive committee thanks Karin for recommending Alina as the face of the event. Karin reflects on her hope that Alina will one day atone for her sins and reach a happy ending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mikage wonders if she might become famous but worries about sketchy people, and Mitama jokingly offers to beat them up. Mikage asks if they can make real chocolate together, but Mitama needs to go to her coordinator shop. Mikage promises to do things that make her sister smile instead, and Mitama suggests they make Valentine&#039;s chocolate together next year. Mikage eagerly agrees to practice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choc&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Promised Blood&#039;s base, Yuna notices her teammates have been acting strangely, as Sakuya reads romance columns, Juri studies constantly, and Urara stares at Hikaru without speaking. After the meeting, Yuna confides in Hikaru that she feels guilty for not noticing everyone&#039;s exhaustion and decides to solve each person&#039;s problems personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend. Though relieved it&#039;s not her own love life, Yuna insists on helping anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s place, the group brainstorms confession advice. The conversation shifts when Ao receives a text from her parents—she&#039;s been lying to them about her late nights as a magical girl, claiming she&#039;s in an e-sports tournament. To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the online tournament, chaos ensues as Juri attacks teammates, Hikaru sets the kitchen on fire, and Yuna fails at selling merchandise. Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the student council meeting, Yuna honestly requests more time to handle personal matters, promising to dedicate herself fully afterward. The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka-senpai&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Day in the Life of Madoka-senpai===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

==Magia Record Events==&lt;br /&gt;
===See You Tomorrow===&lt;br /&gt;
* One morning at the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira greets an older neighbor who warns her about increasing danger in the area. Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them. The girl agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, finishing the final preparations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day of the school festival proceeds without major incident. Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, sampling food and enjoying the event. They take a photo together at the repaired arch—Tsumugi, Manaka, and the transfer student in her uniform. The transfer student reflects later that she will cherish the photo forever, grateful for the kindness she did not feel she deserved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Girls in the Hood===&lt;br /&gt;
* An earthquake strikes the city, and on a rooftop, Jun Kazari drops both her yo-yo and her soul gem while practicing tricks. She chases after the soul gem, while the yo-yo falls into the hood of Mitsune Miwa, a hikikomori watching a performance below. Mitsune decides to return it and runs up the stairs, where she collides with Jun. Jun explains she needs her soul gem, and Mitsune returns the yo-yo. A Witch&#039;s barrier appears around them, and Jun transforms to fight while telling Mitsune to close her eyes. Mitsune peeks, collapses after seeing the Witch die, and Jun carries her outside, claiming it was all a dream. Jun insists on treating Mitsune since she saved her yo-yo, and takes her to a candy store called Tomorrow Shop. Jun introduces her to the children there, and Mitsune is amazed by how loved Jun is.

Mitsune wonders if she should become a magical girl, but Jun yells at her not to. Mitsune leaves upset. Kanae warns Jun that Mitsune has the qualities to become a magical girl, and Jun reveals she is moving away from Kamihama. She used her wish to save the shop, but now realizes other things are more important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Jun tells Mitsune she is moving next week and that magical girls do not have the kind of magic Mitsune dreams of. Mitsune must make her own dreams come true. Jun promises to prove she does not need magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Jun finds that the children and Mitsune went to explore Shinsei Ward without her. She finds them at an abandoned construction site where Mitsune encountered a Witch. Mitsune sent the children away but stayed behind. Jun arrives and uses a homemade bomb to damage the Witch before they escape. A gas leak causes a larger explosion, and they escape on Kanae&#039;s motorcycle. Kanae later destroys the Witch barrier herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Jun says goodbye at the shop. Mitsune arrives crying, and Jun gives her a fake gum toy as a farewell gift.

* Yachiyo&#039;s manager tells her the unit will be disbanded at the end of the month. Yachiyo is devastated. Her wish to keep the unit alive was meaningless. She meets Mifuyu at the candy store.

They find an old letter Yachiyo wrote. Yachiyo says she will write this year&#039;s letter. Mifuyu promises to write one too. They vow to exchange letters forever.&lt;br /&gt;

** For the final door, Ashley finds herself in her childhood home. Her father appears, and she confesses her regret about using her wish to change his mind about her studying abroad. He forgives her and gives her the headpats she always wanted, and the final ribbon is cut.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;horror&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next morning, Ashley wakes up in her apartment. The footage from the manor is blank except for gold stars, and her ribbon has disappeared. She and Riko try to find the store where she bought it, but it is gone. Ashley decides the adventure itself was valuable regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;horror&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsukasa expresses concern to Tsukuyo about Riko&#039;s involvement. Nemu appears and explains she created that Uwasa as an experiment to observe emotional energy, confirming it poses no danger. Word spreads about the ribbon and the dream angel who solves problems, catching the attention of Hinano, who happens to have one of the ribbons.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;horror&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kamihama Kawaii Collection===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley Taylor introduces herself to the reader, explaining that she came from California to study in Japan because of her love for kawaii culture. She also introduces Kumanosuke, a teddy bear her father gave her that she takes everywhere. One day, Ashley visits her friend Riko Chiaki at the family&#039;s bento shop. Riko&#039;s mother mentions a used clothing event, and Ashley learns that her favorite fashion designer will be awarding an original piece as the contest grand prize. She excitedly invites Riko, but Riko is too young to attend and promises to cheer from afar.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kawaii&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Kamihama Kawaii Collection|Kamihama Kawaii Collection]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the event, Ashley arrives early and meets her friends Kokoro Awane, Masara Kagami, and Aimi Eri. She helps them choose outfits, and all three are thrilled. As Ashley continues shopping, she runs into Karin Misono, and they bond over their shared love of an anime. Ashley assembles a themed outfit for Karin, and Karin later buys her a bracelet as thanks. Later, Ashley helps Rika Ayano and Emiri Kisaki with their outfits as well, buying matching scrunchies for herself, Riko, and Kumanosuke. With an hour left, Ashley assists Asuka Tatsuki and Sasara Minagi with their choices, but their shopping is interrupted when event management announces several thefts have occurred.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kawaii&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A man suddenly bumps into Ashley and runs off, and Ashley realizes Kumanosuke is gone. She remembers the bear carries traces of her magic from past battles, so the girls follow the trail to an abandoned area and find a Witch&#039;s labyrinth. The thief enters with Kumanosuke, and the girls transform and follow. Inside, they find stolen goods and victims, and Ashley reaches the center where the Witch is examining her bear. She unleashes her fury at the mistreatment of people&#039;s beloved items and destroys the Witch, saving Kumanosuke and the victims.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kawaii&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they exit, the contest is about to begin and Ashley panics, having no time to complete her outfit. Just then, the other magical girls arrive. Masara gives her a necklace, Karin offers the bracelet, and Rika and Emiri provide color-coordinating shoes. Ashley thanks them and hurries to the contest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kawaii&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Ashley finishes telling Riko the story. Thanks to everyone&#039;s help, Ashley won the contest. She gives Riko the matching scrunchie, and promises that when Riko is older, they will attend a fashion event together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kawaii&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Mirror That Reflects My True Self===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sae goes about her daily life in Kamihama. She maintains a facade as the daughter of a well-off family while secretly working multiple jobs to support her kind but financially irresponsible parents, living by a philosophy of relying only on herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Mirror That Reflects My True Self|The Mirror That Reflects My True Self]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a routine adjustment with the Coordinator Mitama, Sae learns of a &amp;quot;False Magical Girl&amp;quot; rumor: someone is impersonating her. Mitama suggests Sae seek help from Emiri&#039;s counseling room, where Magical Girls gather. Though reluctant, Sae agrees the impostor threatens her carefully constructed image.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sae joins the counseling room girls to investigate. Emiri, Himika, Ria, and others provide testimonies of sightings, but inconsistencies emerge. After deducing the impostor can transform, Sae confronts and corners Rena, who reveals the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire investigation was an elaborate setup. Emiri and the others orchestrated the &amp;quot;False Magical Girl&amp;quot; to force Sae into relying on them, worried her refusal to ask for help would lead to disaster. Mitama coordinated the scheme. Though initially frustrated, Sae understands their concern and thanks them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sae returns home to find her siblings confused. Someone matching her description visited earlier, acting affectionate. Sae realizes a real impostor exists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A figure identical to Sae appears and delivers a prophecy: tomorrow, Ria will be attacked and Emiri will stabbed saving her. In the evening, Sae will be defeated pursuing the attacker, and Himika will be hurt helping her. Lastly, Sae&#039;s entire family will die because of an enemy she fails to defeat. The figure claims to be Sae from the future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sae dismisses the prophecy but confirms part of it when her brother shows her a perfect test score, exactly as predicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sae investigates recent incidents, concluding a powerful Witch is responsible. Before she can act, Ria is attacked and Emiri stabbed, just as predicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Determined to prevent the next prophecy, Sae locates the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth alone. She is overwhelmed and nearly killed. Himika arrives to help, having found Sae&#039;s marked map, and is gravely injured in the rescue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sae receives a message that her family is attending a concert near the Witch. As she despairs, the counseling room girls arrive, led by the impostor who directed them there. They insist on fighting together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group coordinates their abilities. Emiri and Himika distract the Witch, Maria binds it, Akira finds its weakness, Ria conceals their attacks, and Hinano commands the operation. Sae delivers the final blow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Sae reconciles with her family. The future Sae, who watched from afar and disappeared, her past unchanged but is satisfied this world&#039;s Sae was saved. She returns to the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following days, Sae begins helping at the counseling room, gradually opening up to others while maintaining she does so for networking. The room becomes busier as more Magical Girls seek advice, and Sae finds herself enjoying the company despite herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Magia Record Event - The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf|The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo bumps into Tsuruno on a day when school is out. Yachiyo has a job performing in a recorded drama with Sayuki that will be screened on Tanabata. Tsuruno recalls Yachiyo&#039;s poor performance in Karin&#039;s Halloween play and decides to join her to help. Yachiyo welcomes her.&lt;br /&gt;
** On set, Ria and Mayu are assisting with makeup and costumes. Yachiyo recognizes Ria, calls her by name, and praises her work, causing Ria to internally fangirl. Yachiyo grows anxious seeing so many Magical Girls gathered, recalling how a previous production with magical girls turned into a disaster. Tsuruno reassures her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wins over the production team with her exuberance. The play&#039;s co-star drops out, and the director asks Tsuruno to take the role. She eagerly accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a fairy tale about an ancient Mizuna legend. Two girls, Tsuyu and Chizuru, befriend each other despite their families&#039; rivalry and join forces to punish a selfish lord. Yachiyo plays Tsuyu, the ice queen with a heart of gold. Tsuruno plays Chizuru, the cheerful and impetuous girl. Sayuki plays the Magpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** During the script reading, everyone realizes Yachiyo&#039;s acting skills are still terrible. Yachiyo confides that she has turned down many acting jobs but accepted this one because the director begged her, even if she flops. She vows to see it through to expand her repertoire. Tsuruno promises to stay by her side.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria is in shock seeing her idol perform poorly. The filmmakers work around it by taking away Yachiyo&#039;s lines. Ria confronts Yachiyo and Tsuruno after the reading, declaring she will give Yachiyo an acting bootcamp. She does not want Yachiyo&#039;s performance to drag down her makeup work or her reputation as Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at home, Yachiyo reviews the script. Tsuruno explains the Mizuna fairy tale to the rest of Mikazuki. Felicia becomes interested when she learns there are fight scenes. Tsuruno explains that the day Tsuyu and Chizuru teamed up was Tanabata, and people in Kamihama entrust their wishes to them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next week or so, Yachiyo is drilled on acting with a professional coach and Ria&#039;s guidance. She eventually executes her lines perfectly and Ria is relieved.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sea is a Link Through Time /  The Call of the Open Sea===&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. There&#039;s two different versions at hand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Momoko and Mitama arrive at a resort near a village with a legend about a Diviner who eloped with a sailor and sank with stolen treasure. Mitama reveals they are actually there to hunt for this treasure based on a fairy tale Mikage heard. While exploring the private beach, they encounter Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao from the Tokime Clan, who stumbled there by accident. The group decides to spend the day together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|The Call of the Open Sea]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, they attend a festival in a nearby village that turns out to be a branch of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka learns the villagers consider Diviners a superstition. Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Big Sis, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Felicia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward. Kyubey finds a fuming Felicia, who decides to hire herself out as a mercenary to other magical girls for money or Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Felicia Mitsuki#Side Story|Felicia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia encounters Asuka and Sasara and defeats a witch for them, but they let her keep the Grief Seed and leave without paying, leaving her frustrated. Kako appears, concerned, but Felicia rejects her harshly and immediately regrets it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia helps defeat the witch and collapses from exhaustion, silently vowing to destroy every witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Touka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Hazuki and Nanaka team up with Ui to teach her how to defeat witches. Ui claims her first victory and receives a grief seed as a reward while Touka and Nemu tag along to offer congratulations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui suddenly realizes she loves the choir and wants to become a music teacher. She excitedly shares this revelation with her family and friends and resolves to work hard toward this future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art. The Amanes are relieved, and Tsukuyo suggests they play their flutes at the shrine on the way home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo thinks the flute&#039;s song has always warmed her heart, while Tsukasa reflects it is a bridge connecting her to her sister. Both affirm that their only allies are each other, and they will always be together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends. Before Hibari&#039;s family moved away, she performed a charm ritual on Aru and promised they would meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message that Hibari is coming to visit Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives and they plan to visit an arcade. Along the way they encounter Himena&#039;s group and later help a lost Shizuka. After some confusion about directions, they reach the arcade where Hibari wins a crane game prize and helps Juri win one too. Hibari suddenly becomes pale and goes to get change, but she does not return. Kagome calls her and Hibari thanks her for being friends before saying goodbye, with an ambulance audible in the background.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome discovers a crowd under a Witch&#039;s Kiss heading toward a rooftop and sends emergency messages to every Magical Girl she knows. Himena&#039;s group arrives to help hold back the crowd, but other girls cannot come due to similar incidents elsewhere. Shizuka finally checks her phone and rushes over with the Tokime Clan just as someone threatens to ignite kerosene. They stop the crowd while Juri and Ao defeat the Witch with Livia&#039;s help. The Witch&#039;s Kiss is lifted and Hibari wakes up confused, with Livia covering that she collapsed from anemia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari admits she felt faint because seeing Kagome surrounded by friends made her happy but also made her feel left behind and alone. Kagome insists Hibari is wrong and promises to come running whenever Hibari is in trouble, asking them to stay best friends forever. Hibari reveals the two wishes she made when they parted came true: that she could speak her mind loudly and that Kagome would make lots of friends. They renew their promise to remain best friends forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari. They bonded over a shared love of &amp;quot;The Adventure of Mandragora.&amp;quot; Hibari gave Kagome a Mandragora plushie named Al-chan and asked to be friends. Kagome learned ventriloquism through Al-chan and grew more confident. The two became inseparable.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kagome&#039;s family moved due to her father&#039;s job transfer, Hibari put a charm on Al-chan with a secret wish. They promised to meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message from Hibari saying she will visit Kamihama. Kagome prepares to show her around.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives in Kamihama. Kagome is happy to see her. They go to the arcade. On the way, they run into Himena and her group. Kagome introduces Hibari. Later, Kagome helps Shizuka, who was lost and struggling with a foreigner. Hibari is impressed by how much Kagome has grown.&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the arcade. Hibari wins a plushie from a difficult crane game in one try. Juri, Yuna, and Ao appear. Juri asks Hibari to win a prize for her. Hibari succeeds. Juri offers a drink as thanks, but Hibari declines.&lt;br /&gt;

Juri and Ao go to defeat it while Kagome and Yuna search for Hibari. Kagome receives a call from Hibari, who says goodbye and hangs up. Kagome fears the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large group of people under Witch&#039;s Kisses begins heading toward a rooftop. Kagome coordinates with nearby Magical Girls for help. Himena, Shigure, Miyuri, and Yuna hold them off. Reinforcements from other Magical Girls are delayed due to incidents elsewhere. The situation grows dire.&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka finally checks her phone and sees Kagome&#039;s emergency messages. The Tokime Clan arrives and helps stop the crowd. Juri and Ao defeat the Witch. Livia appears to assist. Everyone is safe.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hibari wakes up. Livia explains she fainted due to anemia. Hibari admits she felt left behind seeing Kagome surrounded by friends. Kagome reassures Hibari that she is still immature and needs her friend. Hibari reveals her secret wishes from childhood: that Kagome would speak her mind and make many friends. They promise to remain best friends forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yuna&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna and Hikaru discuss school troubles. A girl complains about a PE teacher who measured her skirt length and made her late for class. Yuna promises to discuss the matter with the Student Council. Later, Yuna sighs about her recent troubles—adjusting school rules has led to protests from the Parents&#039; Association. She also has to deal with Ooba Juri. Hikaru pledges to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yunass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yuna Kureha#Side Story|Yuna&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Senpai advises her to take responsibility to the end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yunass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yuna argues that freedom develops autonomy. Hikaru testifies that quitting her club to support Yuna&#039;s campaign improved her grades. The principal proposes a one-year trial. The Parents&#039; Association agrees. Yuna reveals she had already negotiated with the principal and teachers in advance. Hikaru praises her like a politician.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yunass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Senpai gives Yuna a fountain pen as a celebratory gift for her Student Council inauguration. Senpai was once a Student Council President herself and shares her experiences. She advises Yuna: &amp;quot;Don&#039;t hate, don&#039;t be jealous, and don&#039;t be selfish. Always work hard for others, and pray for peace.&amp;quot; Yuna promises to cherish the pen and the words. Senpai suggests they go somewhere together as friends.

* Hikaru Kirari struggles during lacrosse practice. The advisor criticizes her lack of seriousness and tells her she is not playing with full effort. Hikaru reflects on her past—she has quit many activities after losing interest, including trumpet, tennis, karate, and calligraphy.

They accept it with kindness, which hurts her even more.

* Day 4&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri struggled at school, frustrated by classmates who avoided conflict and teachers who enabled them. Her anger built up. She reflected on how she became a Magical Girl—she wished for a patient, stout heart to stay in school and not burden her father. The wish gave her patience but did not eliminate her anger; it built up as flames until she exploded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl Yuna introduced continued to spar with Juri. The girl revealed Juri had saved her from a Witch, and she admired Juri.

Juri reflected that the recent months had been the toughest. She came home late again. Her father asked about her absences. Juri said she was fighting for the future and would explain in a few months. She reflected on how much she and her father were alike, both unable to ignore past stains. She said she liked being with him, just the two of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Emiri asks what country life is like; Chiharu and Sunao give different answers from Shizuka since they are more familiar with modern living. They mention meeting only recently, surprising Emiri. Shizuka proudly explains they are bound by their duty to protect Japan, and Emiri says, “As long as you have no regrets, it’s okay.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After thinking it over, she searches for information with help from others, but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hinano explains that because the agreement fell through, local manufacturers like Kanoko’s father stayed in business, so there was little news. Chiharu and Sunao arrange a meeting at the factory and bring Shizuka. Kanoko’s father tells Shizuka his factory would have failed otherwise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Hagumu reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. After Walpurgisnacht, the organization dissolved, and many former Feathers joined the Kamihama Magia Union. Hagumu is uncertain, as she believes in Magical Girl Supremacy and cannot accept the Union&#039;s ideology of liberation without sacrifice. Shigure contacts her, asking to meet and talk. Shigure wants to convince Touka and Nemu to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Hagumu is conflicted—she cannot trust the Magius after being exploited, but she also cannot decide what to do. She asks for time to think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hagumu Azumi#Side Story|Hagumu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu meets Maria, a former Magius member who joined the Union. Maria notices Hagumu looks unwell and offers to listen. Hagumu explains her dilemma: she cannot agree with the Union&#039;s ideology, but she also cannot follow Shigure&#039;s plan. Maria suggests Hagumu ask other Magical Girls how they decided. Hagumu recalls her wish was made in haste to save a woman under a Witch&#039;s Kiss, and she regrets not choosing a better wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Moka why she joined the Union. Moka says she joined because she was invited and everyone is kind.

** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches. Hagumu is moved but asks for more time to discuss it with Shigure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She felt free and happy while skating. San saw her dancing in the moonlight and was mesmerized. San decided she wanted to help Miyuri grow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish. San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri learned her new power shortened her experience of anxiety. She became more confident but still fainted easily. She fought Witches alone, often blacking out and going berserk. She encountered the Wings of the Magius while chasing a Witch. Her Doppel emerged. San appeared as the Instructor, defeated the Witch, and fended off the Doppel. San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training. Touka and Nemu suggested San should train Miyuri since she could still hear San&#039;s voice when unconscious. San agreed and became Miyuri&#039;s instructor. Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present) Back at the Community Center, Miyuri finishes her story. She does not regret her wish because it led her to become San&#039;s secret weapon and join Neo-Magius. Himena and the others leave, leaving San and Miyuri alone and Miyuri is mitten with San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Lavi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Lavi wakes Nayuta with the smell of natto. Mikage arrives urgently, asking to interview Lavi for her web newspaper assignment. Lavi agrees on the condition that her privacy is respected. Nayuta spills milk at breakfast, and Lavi wipes it up, explaining that milk can be used to clean silverware.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi goes shopping with Mikage and Nayuta. At the vegetable shop, the owner thanks Lavi for her gardening advice. A woman gives Lavi fresh eggs as thanks for organic vegetables from Lavi&#039;s grandfather. Mikage notices Lavi knows many housewives. Nayuta realizes she knows little about Lavi&#039;s past.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi explains she used to have a frail body as a child due to an unidentifiable condition. Her grandfather grew organic vegetables, which eased her symptoms. However, a severe storm destroyed the field&#039;s soil, making it impossible to grow vegetables. Lavi wished to restore the soil and became a Magical Girl. Her wish saved the field and gave hope to others. She admits her improved health was partly due to becoming a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage wants to make the newspaper more interesting, so Lavi offers to demonstrate &amp;quot;newsworthy&amp;quot; housework. She cooks lunch while Mikage records. Nayuta and Mikage try to help but ruin the dish with too much seasoning. They are distraught, but Lavi salvages it using cabbage and eggs. The meal is delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After making the newspaper, Nayuta and Mikage fall asleep. Lavi reflects on her past. She reveals that she never found joy in living despite her family&#039;s efforts. Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true. She asks for a little more time in her beloved daily life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Asahi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime Tribe holds a celebration to welcome Asahi. During introductions, Chiharu rambles excitedly about her favorite shows, and Asahi finds herself intrigued. When pressed to share more about herself, Asahi talks about hunting and the importance of minimizing suffering. That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun. Everyone apologizes, and they end the day with a shared dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Alexandra&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Re-analyze and structure this. It is a double-story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra dreams of her school days. She sees her past self smiling and realizes she is dreaming of the time she was in love. In the dream, she discusses love with Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu. Himena shares a romantic story about stargazing with Hiko. When Himena asks about their own love lives, Alexandra begins crying unexpectedly. She denies anything is wrong, but Himena apologizes for being insensitive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Alexandra Kurusu#Side Story|Alexandra&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, Alexandra&#039;s teacher appears—but he looks like Shigure. Other people appear as Himena and Hagumu. She recalls that her teacher was her math teacher and club advisor. He was strict and had a reputation for being scary. Alexandra remembers how she would complain about him with her classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After club activities, Alexandra wants to practice singing more. She goes to the rooftop and finds the teacher there. He allows her to practice under his supervision. They begin meeting regularly on the rooftop. She learns he does not smoke and is careful about his throat. He mentions that being an adult is not that great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A male classmate confesses to Alexandra. She almost accepts but pictures the teacher&#039;s face and realizes she loves someone else. She rejects the classmate. Later, it rains, and the teacher lends her his towel. She realizes she has fallen in love with him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra begins trying to appeal to the teacher daily. She asks about his relationship status and learns he is single. She indirectly describes him when talking about her type. She leaves a love letter in his shoe locker. He thinks it is a prank but recognizes her handwriting. She keeps trying to convey her feelings, but he never takes her seriously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra&#039;s behavior becomes obvious in class. She eagerly volunteers to answer questions and is overly happy when called on. Her classmates are amazed she can talk to the scary teacher so cheerfully. She learns everyone fears him. She asks why he became a teacher, and he admits his parents were teachers and he had wanted to be a singer but never pursued it. He wonders if there is any meaning to his life. Alexandra feels sorrow and wants him to be happy. She begins planning to improve his reputation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey appears and offers to grant any wish. Alexandra wants to capture the teacher&#039;s heart through her own efforts. She decides not to make a wish yet. She organizes a surprise birthday party for him with her classmates. He is genuinely happy and thanks her. He realizes she planned it. She tells him all the students respect him. He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra continues her jokes and attempts to get closer to the teacher. She jokes about marriage and asks for a date on the school trip. He unexpectedly agrees to go shopping with her for a few minutes. She hugs him in excitement. A classmate spots them on the rooftop. Rumors spread quickly. The principal calls the teacher in. He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra cannot wake up from the dream. She imagines the teacher scolding her for playing with his feelings. She decides she needs to apologize in real life. She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love. She tells him her feelings were not a deception—they were true love. She thanks him for a wonderful time and says she now only places her faith in Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Urara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara volunteers to do grocery shopping for Lavi. At the supermarket, she gets distracted by flash sales and buys beef, bean sprouts, and curry ingredients. She forgets Lavi&#039;s shopping list. Lavi forgives her but asks her to be more self-controlled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Urara Yume#Side Story|Urara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Urara announces she is returning to Yukuni to quit her talent agency. Lavi insists on accompanying her for safety due to the Magical Girl eradication faction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara and Lavi travel to Yukuni. Urara loses her wallet, but Lavi finds it. At the agency, Urara&#039;s manager asks her to coach a children&#039;s diabolo class as a final job. Urara accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the diabolo class, Urara teaches the class alone. Some children struggle to follow her teaching style. Lavi, Alexandra, and Asahi watch from a distance. During lunch, Urara admits she cannot explain techniques well. Lavi analyzes the wrist angles and timing, and the others offer to help. The class is a success.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Urara feels inadequate and misses her former partner, Kurara. She remembers Kurara was better at teaching. Lavi notices Urara is depressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Several days later, Urara returns to Yukuni to pick up her resignation papers. Lavi accompanies her. Urara admits she misses Kurara. Lavi warns her that reconciliation is unlikely, but Urara insists on trying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the agency, Urara confronts Kurara. Kurara reveals she always resented being compared to Urara&#039;s natural talent and felt like &amp;quot;Not-Urara.&amp;quot; She says breaking up the duo was for the best and asks Urara to stop involving herself. Urara is devastated. She returns to Kamihama and cries to Lavi, who comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Urara receives a message from her manager. A girl named Rei from the diabolo class wants more lessons. Urara agrees to meet her. Rei wants to learn the &amp;quot;Urara Special&amp;quot; to beat a prodigy her age. Urara remembers how she unknowingly hurt Kurara by copying her tricks too easily. She decides to coach Rei properly. Lavi offers to stay and help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara and Rei practice together. Lavi advises on timing. Rei successfully performs the trick. Urara tells her to remember the joy of performing, not just winning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rei competes and wins her first cup by performing the Urara Special, a trick even the prodigy could not do. Rei thanks Urara. Urara realizes that coaching helped her grow and face her regrets about Kurara. Rei asks Urara to be her permanent coach. Urara agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara returns to the Folklore base. She announces she will continue coaching diabolo classes. She wants to pass down her goal of making people smile through diabolo acts to the next generation. Lavi and the others support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nayuta&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta dreams of proving folkloric studies superior to Touka, but Lavi wakes her with obnoxious humming. Lavi scolds her for being a deep sleeper and rushes her to school in Takarazaki City, where Nayuta complains that Lavi acts like a stern stepmother rather than a kind maid her age.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In class, a self‑assessment exercise has Nayuta describe herself as quiet and diligent, but her peers call her stubborn, someone who hates losing and speaks her mind. She reluctantly accepts “stubborn” fits her persistent search for her father. The teacher introduces the Johari Window, explaining that without communication people understand themselves at most fifty percent and others only twenty‑five percent—a lesson that sticks with Nayuta.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Nayuta meets Iroha at the train station. Both are surprised the other remembers them. They discover they are the same grade and both hail from Takarazaki, and Iroha mentions she also searched for a lost loved one. Nayuta requests to see Yachiyo, apologizing for her bluntness. Iroha reassures her, noting they are both stubborn junior‑high girls from Takarazaki who came to Kamihama to find someone important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Yachiyo has no new information about Nayuta’s father. Tsuruno has Nayuta show a photo, but no one recognizes him. Felicia suggests Nayuta simply ask Touka, since she also grew up at Satomi Medical Center. Nayuta refuses, saying she cannot trust Touka, and apologizes for her stubbornness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Nayuta admits to Lavi she slept poorly because she cannot stop thinking about Touka. Mikage arrives, upset after a fight with Sudachi: Mikage complained about school, Sudachi said she envied Mikage for being able to attend, and they argued over whose position was harder.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home. Lavi approves of her standing her ground, and Nayuta realizes she and Lavi are more alike than she thought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, classmates who used to bully her avoid her, but Mikage is determined to find Magical Girl friends. Himika tells her about Emiri’s counseling center, so they go there together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the center, Emiri, Sasara, Asuka, and Kanoko are delighted to meet Mitama’s little sister. Mikage explains she is looking for a friend, but Emiri points out they are already her friends. After some banter about fashion, Mikage tries on Kanoko’s outfits and has a wonderful time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mikage wonders if the older girls truly see her as a friend or just as a kid. Himika suggests she meet girls her own age like Ui, Touka, and Nemu, though Mikage is uncertain about befriending the geniuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When she returns home, Mitama warns her that Ui has been kidnapped by Promised Blood and forbids Mikage from associating with the Kamihama Magia Union. Mikage reluctantly agrees but is frustrated her efforts to make friends have been stopped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama leaves for work and Mikage accuses her of hypocrisy—Mitama can spend time with the KMU while Mikage cannot. She runs out, declaring she will find a new big sister. She finds Emiri’s office closed but runs into Rika and Ren, who quickly realize she is Mitama’s sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Mikage bond over fashion and go to some cheap stores, where Mikage realizes she left her wallet. They play a crane game instead, and Rika wins stuffed animals for Ren and Mikage. Mikage asks Rika to be her big sister; Rika declines but encourages her to talk to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory. Kanoko lets her help make a pendant, but before Mikage can convince her to become her sister, Mitama arrives and drags her home. Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any. Later, she finds Mitama has made all her favorite foods, and they reconcile off‑screen; Mikage gives Mitama the pendant she made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yozuru plays piano at a pharmacist’s request, impressing everyone, then meets Livia Medeiros and Sudachi Sawa. Sudachi exposes Mifuyu, who decides to introduce herself directly. Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited again. She jokes about the visitor&#039;s persistence. Yozuru and Sudachi return from stocking up on essentials. Sudachi trips, and Yozuru hesitates to help. Livia instructs Yozuru to help Sudachi stand and dust her off. Yozuru apologizes and explains she is not equipped with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the trailer, Yozuru offers tea. Sudachi wants teacakes. Livia allows them to have some as a treat. Livia reflects that she needs to help the girls mature. Yozuru has lost compassion, while Sudachi needs to find her words. Livia believes they will complement each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is found sleeping and crying. Yozuru gives her a handkerchief. Livia says crying in sleep happens occasionally and is common among Coordinators. She thanks Sudachi for finding her dropped ring. Sudachi sulks when Livia refuses to give her sweets as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the ring is a treasure and a way of reprimanding herself. It is the reason she lives for &amp;quot;Mister Sun.&amp;quot; She says she may tell the full story another time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia shares her philosophy: no matter how awful life is, do not drift in a bad direction or relieve resentment with a curse. Magical Girls are born from hope and must overcome struggles with hope. She warns against corrupting purity and urges supporting those with pure hearts. She says she has said enough for now and will share the rest when she is ready. She asks the visitor to promise to live strong, face forward, and not end up like her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Ryo loses sight of Lil&#039; Kyubey. She finds a girl with potential who may have received a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and helps fight the Witch alongside Nanaka. After the battle, Nanaka explains Lil&#039; Kyubey followed her into the labyrinth and returned a flower she dropped. Nanaka asks Ryo to tell Lil&#039; Kyubey to stop visiting unfriendly Magical Girls. Ryo realizes Lil&#039; Kyubey avoids girls with potential and is not soliciting anyone. She writes an article correcting her earlier suspicions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices.

* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sasara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara is taken hostage at knifepoint in a convenience store. Despite her desire to be a knight, she is too terrified to act. Though the police arrest the criminal and she is safe, Sasara feels ashamed and hates herself for her cowardice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sasara Minagi#Side Story|Sasara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sasara meets Kyubey and when he makes his offer, Sasara accepts without hesitation. As her father works for an emergency rescue squad, a job she admires, he gave her a favorite picture book about a knight who defeats a dragon to save a village. Sasara carries this book everywhere and has always wanted to be like her father and the knight. She wishes to become a knight who can protect and save people, asking for a stronger heart and stronger convictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Sasara has been hunting witches and saving their victims ever since making her contract. She calls herself the Knight who protects the people of Kamihama, but over time her feelings become tainted. The people she rescues never remember what happened and do not acknowledge her. Sasara realizes she wants someone to appreciate her and questions whether she really wanted to become a knight at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book. She thought she could accept the people she helped not talking to her, but now it feels like she does not even exist. When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nanaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Needs to be re-checked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako to ask for their help fighting a witch they all share a connection to. To explain why she needs them, Nanaka tells them how she became a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka&#039;s father headed a traditional Japanese flower arranging school, but when he fell ill, senior students took over and grew the school&#039;s popularity while abandoning its traditions, shutting out Nanaka&#039;s family entirely. On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform.

** When Akira started middle school, a girl asked her to be a bodyguard against a stalker. The girl brought her to a park, confessed her love, and admitted to lying about the stalker.

** The day Akira found the barrier, she retraced the girl&#039;s steps in the park and stepped into a witch&#039;s labyrinth. She found the missing girl among blank-faced victims marked by a Witch&#039;s Kiss.

** After becoming a magical girl, Akira patrolled Kamihama investigating witch-related incidents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** A few days later, Nanaka called asking for a favor. When they met again, Nanaka requested a duel, claiming Akira was weak and should quit hunting witches. Akira refused, citing her family&#039;s dojo, and they dueled. After some fighting, Nanaka ended the duel and apologized.

Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;

** Sakuya, Yuna, and Hikaru discuss Sakuya&#039;s problem. Yuna deduces Sakuya is unsatisfied because she cannot compete meaningfully—using magic makes her times inhuman, so she feels her achievements are not truly hers. Sakuya admits track is everything to her; she used her wish to allow her team to compete after a violent incident got them suspended. Yuna suggests Sakuya might find accomplishment through coaching others, using her experience to help them grow. A Witch appears, and they fight. During the battle, Hikaru is distracted by worrying about Sakuya and cannot control her army properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sakuyass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Tsumugi and Ria eat at Walnuts. Manaka is surprised by Tsumugi&#039;s improved reviews and lifts any implied ban. Tsumugi wants to fill Walnuts with people, but Manaka says she prefers just Tsumugi coming to enjoy her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the event, Tsumugi cries and confesses disappointment that none of her followers came, feeling she is just an average student with no unique qualities. Ria encourages her not to let failure discourage her, insisting she has talent. Tsumugi decides to make a contract with Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Walnuts afterward, Tsumugi honestly criticizes Manaka&#039;s omelette, explaining her wish now forces her to tell the truth about food. In a flashback, she wished to help Manaka by learning what she could do. She realized she needed to give objective criticism to truly help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ren&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren stands on a rooftop, contemplating suicide. Kyubey warns her that if she repeats her previous actions, her Soul Gem will be destroyed. Ren understands. She thinks about how people have always said hurtful things and believes she cannot live in such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nearby, Rika defeats a Witch and sees Ren about to jump. She saves her and asks why she wants to die. Ren cannot answer. She reflects on her childhood: she has always had trouble speaking and was teased and bullied for it. She attempted suicide once before but was scared of dying. Kyubey appeared and granted her wish to live.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explained that the bullying was caused by a Witch&#039;s influence—Witches hurt people, who then hurt others. Ren resolved to destroy Witches to create a better world. However, no matter how many Witches she defeated, people still acted cruelly. Kyubey told her that even destroying all Witches would not remove malice from people&#039;s hearts. This is why Ren wanted to die again, but she cannot explain any of this to Rika.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika takes Ren to meet other Magical Girls. At Emiri&#039;s Trouble Consultation Office, Ren meets Akira but cannot introduce herself and nearly cries. Emiri brings her to Ria, who gives her hand cream, and Konomi, who gives her chamomile tea. Rika then takes Ren to the chemistry club, where Hinano gives her candy instead of medicine. They visit Kanoko at her family&#039;s metal factory, where Kanoko shows a dress she designed with mushroom motifs and gives Ren accessories made of metal sheets. Emiri leaves, and Rika admits she never actually listened to Ren&#039;s problem.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika shares her own story: she wished for someone she loved to love her back, even though that person already liked someone else. She says she stole that love with a selfish wish and asks Ren if she thinks she is a horrible person. Ren manages to say she does not think so. Rika is relieved. She explains that to get others to open up, you must share the secrets that create distance.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren tries to tell her story but cannot get the words out and begins crying. Rika tells her not to force herself. She shows Ren all the gifts she received from the others and says that if all these people were thinking about her, she should continue to live. She says the world is filled with both bad and beautiful things, and the most painful thing is to have nothing. Ren says she will live. Rika leaves, and Ren thanks her. Ren thinks that if Rika can accept her story, she will be able to live forever.&lt;br /&gt;

Hazuki offers to handle meals from now on, which prompts Konoha to resolve that she will learn to make delicious food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konoha Shizumi#Side Story|Konoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She makes a disastrous meal incorporating everything she read, and Hazuki collapses after tasting it. Ayame brings home a flyer for a cooking class at &amp;quot;Youshoku Walnuts,&amp;quot; noting that the food there made Hazuki cry. Ayame encourages Konoha, and Konoha resolves to take the class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Konoha meets the teacher, Manaka Kurumi, at the restaurant. Manaka attempts to teach knife skills and how to crack eggs, but Konoha struggles with both. Manaka promises to help her improve. She has Konoha make practice dishes, but Konoha burns oil, over-dashes rice, and explodes miso soup, so Manaka has to take over each time. When finished, Manaka tastes it, insists it&#039;s good to protect her reputation, eats it all, and passes out. Konoha tries the leftovers and confirms it is truly terrible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha hunts a witch with her team while distracted by thoughts about cooking.

Hazuki says she will prepare dinner at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, at Himika&#039;s house, Konoha and Ayame observe the cramped living space. Himika explains she uses cheap leftover meat blends from a disposal man to feed her family. She serves dinner, and all her siblings along with Ayame eat. When Konoha asks if the food is tasty, the siblings say they never think it&#039;s bad because Himika does her best. Konoha reflects on Azalea&#039;s House and realizes she was too focused on theory rather than on who she was cooking for. She thanks Himika and leaves with Ayame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, Ayame and Hazuki find Konoha cooking again. Konoha promises to give up if she fails this time. Focusing on her feelings rather than theory, she makes a meal from Azalea&#039;s. Hazuki and Ayame try it and say it&#039;s bad, but it&#039;s edible. Konoha is excited that someone could actually eat her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ayame returns home to find Konoha cooking again. Hazuki observes that Konoha has found joy in the act of cooking.

===Hazuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame meet with Nanaka, Meiyui, Akira, and Kako at a restaurant to discuss how to handle situations where both teams target the same Witch. Meiyui proposes a first-come, first-served rule, but Hazuki points out it would lead to disputes over who arrived first. Ayame suggests settling conflicts with rock-paper-scissors, and though Meiyui argues there&#039;s no time for games in battle, Hazuki has them try it on the spot. When Ayame and Meiyui play, Meiyui uses a martial arts technique to change Ayame&#039;s hand, causing an argument between the groups. Hazuki calms everyone down and suggests they go home for the day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hazuki Yusa#Side Story|Hazuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls reconvene at the restaurant. Hazuki proposes a new rule: anyone who uses magic against a Witch gains proportional rights to the Grief Seed. Both teams agree, and Hazuki suggests they gather data by hunting together. They split into mixed teams—Ayame and Kako form one; Hazuki, Akira, and Meiyui another and Konoha and Nanaka stand by to help as needed. After the successful joint hunt, Nanaka meets with Hazuki alone at the restaurant. She reveals she believes Hazuki manipulated the entire situation from the first meeting, noting that her team was impressed with Hazuki&#039;s group&#039;s teamwork but that she herself was more struck by Hazuki&#039;s modus operandi. Nanaka asks why Hazuki orchestrated everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki admits she wanted Konoha, who is introverted, to connect with others and that after the Witch fight, Konoha seemed genuinely happy. She explains her goal was simply to build connections between her group and other Kamihama Magical Girls. Nanaka accepts this and says she&#039;s glad to work with her. Later, Hazuki writes in her notebook that Nanaka is shrewd but fascinating, and she resolves to continue reaching out to other Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Ayame encounters Felicia during a Witch fight, and their rivalry quickly escalates when Felicia dismisses Ayame&#039;s challenge to lead the girls to argue and accidentally let the Witch escape. Frustrated by losing to Felicia specifically, Ayame confronts her afterward, and despite Kako&#039;s attempts to mediate, the two insist on settling things through some competition. Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch. Emerging back in the park, Felicia thanks Ayame, and they realize the race was never finished.

She became a magical girl thinking her dull life might finally become interesting, but even that eventually grew boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead.

** Kokoro apologizes, but Masara claims she only did what was most logical, since the Witch could not have been defeated alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help. Masara agrees and tells Kokoro to call her next time.

===Konomi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi welcomes Kaede and Kako to the flower shop where she works part-time. She began working at Blossom because the florist once comforted her as a crying child with a single flower, and now Konomi does the same for other children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konomi Haruna#Side Story|Konomi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a customer leaves, Kaede and Kako help the florist carry supplies. The florist recently returned from the hospital, having survived a serious illness. Konomi remembers the day she found an ambulance outside and learned the shop might close. Desperate to help, she wished to Kyubey to cure the florist&#039;s illness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;!--The Flashback: Their First Meeting--&amp;gt;Kaede and Kako visit the shop for the first time. Kako searches for a specific flower, which Konomi identifies. During tea break, Kako explains she read about the flowers in a novel and wants to buy some for a friend&#039;s birthday. Kaede admits she has never given flowers but receiving them once felt wonderful. Konomi smiles and says she has an idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of the flower giveaway, Konomi, Kaede, and Kako take to the streets, suddenly appearing to hand bouquets to strangers before disappearing. A lottery winner, a despairing old man, and a boy who just got a girl&#039;s number all receive flowers. Later, the girls reunite. Kaede gave to ten people, Kako to thirteen. Konomi apologizes, but they agree to try again the day after tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Konomi, Kaede, and Kako realize they are the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi panics, fearing they have made people hate flowers. They notice a little girl crying because her mother refused to buy her a toy ring. Konomi offers a flower, but the girl wants a ring. Kako fashions the flower into a ring, and the girl calls it pretty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi realizes they have been giving flowers without understanding what recipients truly want. She decides to create something more meaningful. Inspired by Kaede&#039;s mention of birthday flowers and Kako&#039;s knowledge of flower language, they plan an arrangement that speaks to people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi and the girls create a birthday cake made of fifty flowers, with chocolate and candy inside. The cake incorporates birth flowers so greetings can be communicated through their language. They prepare a fair at the shop to showcase it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi shows the cake to the florist, who gives a muted reaction and announces her retirement, planning to leave Konomi the shop.

===Rika&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Hinano, Emiri, Ria, Manaka, Akira&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Rika is invited to a blind date by Emiri Kisaki, who brings along Hinano Miyako, a girl recently heartbroken. When the boys on the date mock Hinano&#039;s youthful appearance and odd way of speaking, Rika surprises her by defending them. Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her. Emiri and Rika quickly reassure Hinano, with Rika adding that Hinano is actually cool for having been able to confess her feelings—unlike Rika, who never confessed at all and watched her crush end up with someone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri then suggests Rika should make a wish, revealing that she and Hinano are magical girls who each received one wish in exchange for fighting monsters. Rika wonders if this is some kind of game. Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika muses that her wish was granted and she is now dating her crush, yet she feels deeply unhappy. When Kyubey asks what is wrong, she admits that every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens with unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day, Mayu is a third-year student at Mizuna Academy who works part-time at the Kamihama Contemporary Art Museum. When she accidentally breaks the museum director&#039;s cup, her boss handles the situation calmly and kindly. After work, she meets her friend Sayuki Fumino outside the museum, and when Sayuki cannot stay, Mayu&#039;s boss offers to accompany her to an exhibit instead. They later go to a cafe, where Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi are also present. Ria grows increasingly annoyed overhearing Mayu&#039;s conversation with her boss, particularly when he hints at wanting to take her somewhere else and praises her cooking. At home that evening, Mayu cooks for her mother and asks if her father would have eaten her cooking, wondering what life would be like if he were still alive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayu Kozue#Side Story|Mayu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at school, Mayu talks with Sayuki about the sword exhibit. She then heads to work, and after her shift ends, her boss mentions his wife and child are away and invites her out to eat. Mayu declines. As she leaves, she forgets her phone, and her boss rushes to return it, asking again about dinner with growing intensity. Ria suddenly appears and bumps into him, yelling at them for flirting and demanding they sit for a lecture. Mayu&#039;s boss says she ruined it and leaves. Ria warns Mayu that her sweet, innocent air attracts older men and that if things continue, his family will fall apart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home that night, Mayu reflects on the day she learned of her father&#039;s death and on Ria&#039;s words. Kyubey appears and offers a contract. Thinking she does not want her boss&#039;s family to suffer the same hardship her family did, Mayu makes her wish: to stop his family from breaking apart. That night, she narrates that her boss transferred to a new job, and she is sure her wish was granted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later at school, Mayu finds boys have started hitting on her. Ria constantly steps in to drive them off. Before Ria can finish telling Mayu to shape up, they both sense a Witch. The girls reveal they are Magical Girls, and they track the Witch to the museum&#039;s special exhibit room. Sayuki suddenly appears and reveals she is also a Magical Girl. During the fight, Mayu notices the Witch only targets Ria. She asks Sayuki to lend her strength and launches a surprise attack, destroying the Witch. Afterward, Mayu thinks that to protect people she must think clearly before acting, and Ria admits Mayu was more reliable than usual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As a child, Sayuki attends an idol performance with her parents, but when the crowd becomes dangerously wild, she is almost squeezed to death, leaving her with lasting trauma.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayuki Fumino#Side Story|Sayuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Growing up in a happy family, Sayuki develops a deep interest in katanas that creates a gap between her and her classmates. Though they respect her passion, she feels lonely without someone to share it with. This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert. Sayuki believes speaking out is important no matter the outcome and swears to protect the kind people who have been kind to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka. Moka thanks Alina for saving her and says she has now made new friends, resolving to devote herself to exterminating witches and admitting she is only a little afraid of them now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They grew as close as sisters until Sis became engaged to marry someone far away.

** Riko goes Witch hunting to vent her stress but nearly dies against a stronger Witch. In that moment, despair crushes her and she wishes she had never made her wish so Sis would still be there. Tsukasa, a regular at her family&#039;s shop, finds her crying and listens as Riko confides everything about her feelings and what happened with Sis.

Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work.

From that day, Mel bonds with Mifuyu, Tsuruno, and Momoko as part of her new team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One other day, Mel arrives excitedly with entirely positive readings and offers to read the team&#039;s fortunes. Despite Yachiyo&#039;s skepticism, Mel coaxes her into a session predicting a career breakthrough.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Yachiyo announces with disbelief that she was chosen for a nationwide magazine feature on Kamihama&#039;s cafes. Mifuyu and Momoko then receive positive readings about a matchmaking and exam results.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes. Afterward they visit Mitama, who suggests they train in Endless Mirrors if they plan to remain independent rather than join Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Temari and Mikura commute to school exhausted. Temari stayed up testing a new metal pen, and Mikura correctly guesses she is in modern literature mode.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Temari is distracted thinking about Witch strategies while Mikura worries about Seira, who had fallen asleep in class from exhaustion. Seira joins them, and Temari suggests they create their own space to escape the stress of magical girl life. Seira proposes forming a school club where they can pursue their hobbies freely, and they agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Seira secures an empty classroom as a provisional club room under the name Historical Research Club. On paper they study history, but in reality it becomes their oasis for reading, watching films, and relaxing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the girls are enjoying their club activities, yet Temari still feels unsettled about not knowing her magic. Mikura reflects that they have been following Temari’s suggestions lately—staying independent, creating the club—but says she will mention it if she notices anything. When Mikura asks what Temari is reading, Temari replies she is still on the same author, and Mikura calls her as unpredictable as ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hotori&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Last part is after the tea drinking moon party&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hotori and her twin Rion prepare for a school camping trip. Hotori gets distracted watching her favorite sentai show, Dragoon Red, and Rion teases her for still liking children’s fantasy. Hotori wants to bring her notebook of heroic quotes, but Rion tells her not to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At school, Rion tries to stay with Hotori and gets scolded by the teacher. Hotori is relieved to have time away from her sister. Her classmates notice her notebook and encourage her to become who she wants to be.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At camp, Hotori’s group hikes through the forest. She is frightened by insects, and when Rion appears and drives her friends away, Hotori ends up scolded for letting her sister interfere. Reading quotes from her heroes, she manages to calm herself and finishes the hike feeling she has changed a little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During archery, Hotori struggles to pull the bowstring but remembers Dragoon Red’s words about perseverance and manages to shoot. Rion performs better, but Hotori’s friends cheer her up. Rion later mentions the night’s test of courage, and though Hotori is scared, she refuses to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the test, Hotori freezes after a scare. Rion mocks her and escorts her to the finish line. There Hotori realizes she left her notebook behind; Rion goes back to retrieve it but does not return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotori lies to the teachers and searches the forest. She finds Kyubey, who offers her a contract: any wish in exchange for becoming a magical girl who fights witches. When she finds Rion acting strangely, Kyubey explains Rion has a witch’s kiss. Rion enters a witch’s barrier, and Hotori follows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Terrified but thinking of Dragoon Red’s words, Hotori makes her wish: “I wish to be a hero strong enough to protect Rion.” She defeats the witch alone, saves Rion, and is relieved when her sister wakes up safe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Months later, Hotori now fights witches with a team. During one battle she freezes and is saved by Rion and Yukika Nanase. Yukika asks about Hotori’s notebook, and Hotori explains she wants to be brave like the sentai heroes. Yukika privately knows the truth from another timeline: the twins’ memories were altered by Rion’s wish, and Hotori’s original wish may have been to become strong enough to protect Rion. Hotori, unaware, continues striving to be a hero.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Meguru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Meguru joins the Broadcasting Club, but her senpais later announce it will close due to low membership. Though she feigns indifference, she secretly wants the club to remain so she can pursue her dream of becoming a popular MC. When Kyubey appears, she wishes to become a popular mistress of ceremonies in exchange for becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After her wish, she discovers she can narrate events with unusual power, accidentally motivating classmates. She is drawn into a witch’s labyrinth and rescued by Momoko Togame, who takes her to Mitama Yakumo. Momoko suspects Meguru’s magic strengthened the witch. Mitama asks Meguru to act as MC for an event in the Mirror Witch’s barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the barrier, Meguru narrates battles for Tsuruno Yui, Meiyui Chun, and Akira Shinobu, but her words also empower their mirror copies. After struggling to control her magic, she successfully motivates the originals to win. The group agrees she has a gift for motivating others, though they must flee when more copies appear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Meguru finds her club still at risk of closure. Hinano Miyako arrives and asks Meguru to MC for the chemistry club to attract new members. Meguru’s senpais decide to promote her involvement as a club activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Later, Kyubey asks why she wanted to be an MC. Meguru explains she admired many fields but never excelled until now, and she thanks him. She learns she only gets one wish, but she is confident she will meet amazing people on her own.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Eternal Sakura begins as a story Iroha tells to Ui, Touka, and Nemu at the hospital—a tale of a girl waiting by a sakura tree to reunite with her three friends. Nemu loves it so much she writes it down, naming it the Eternal Sakura of Promises. That is Sakura&#039;s beginning, though she is only words in a notebook.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Nemu moves the Eternal Sakura and many other stories into a different book, rewriting them as Rumors and breathing her own lifeforce into them. They become real beings, freed but also bound to their rumors. Time passes, and the Eternal Sakura watches as other Rumors are destroyed. She alone keeps her physical form. When Walpurgisnacht attacks and the crisis ends, Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu finally come to her meadow, reunited at last. The sakura tree bursts into bloom. All the Rumors now live together in Nemu&#039;s book, with the Eternal Sakura as the only one who can venture outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu eventually summons the Eternal Sakura and offers to rewrite her rumor so she can leave the meadow. Touka has prepared an internet server for her to download information needed to live among humans. In exchange, they will ask her for a favor later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime after the Dreaming Cherry Blossom event, the Eternal Sakura arrives at Mikazuki Villa as Sakurako Hiiragi, a Rumor given human form. Touka asks Iroha to care for her for three days so she can learn through practice. Yachiyo agrees after Ui begs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On her first day, Sakurako cooks lunch that everyone declares the best they have ever tried. That night, she scores perfectly on homework and offers to tutor Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo notes her helpfulness and suggests she start practicing in the outside world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, they go to the mall. At the arcade, a man knocks Ui down and blames her. Sakurako hits him, demanding an apology, and when he refuses she hits him again, declaring she will end all enemies of Ui. Iroha stops her and they return home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells Sakurako she is glad she defended Ui but should not hurt others. Sakurako transforms into her battle form, showing the power she wields to protect the four girls. Iroha asks her to promise not to use it except against Witches or real danger. Sakurako promises.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Mifuyu arrives with Touka and Nemu to pick her up. They have arranged for her to attend Minagi Freedom School, where she will not know anyone. Yachiyo agrees it is best for her to keep some distance from Iroha and Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At her new school, Sakurako meets Hinano Miyako, who warns her not to mention being a Rumor in class. During introductions, Sakurako announces she is here to learn about human society, is technically zero years old, and has been assigned an age to match her appearance. The students think she is weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Between classes, Hinano checks on her. Sakurako finds school boring and misses Iroha. Hinano suggests making friends would make school more fun, but Sakurako does not understand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During class, Sakurako announces she is bored and leaves to see Iroha. Ryo Midori from the school newspaper photographs her, but Sakurako runs off. She finds Iroha, who is angry she cut class. Iroha explains her actions cause problems for many people, including Touka. Sakurako promises to attend tomorrow, though she still finds school boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako sits bored in class but keeps her promise. At lunch, she finds an empty classroom and sits alone, tears welling as she wonders if this is loneliness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo finds her and offers a handkerchief. In exchange, Ryo asks why she is crying. Sakurako tells her everything, including being a Rumor. Ryo believes her and invites her to spend lunch together. In exchange, she asks Sakurako to be the newspaper&#039;s mascot with her own column. Sakurako agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She arrives home late and tells Iroha and Ui she made a friend. Iroha is worried, knowing Ryo&#039;s history, but Sakurako hands over a letter from Ryo. The letter states Sakurako needs emotional education before social education and should not be forced to attend school. Ryo promises to watch over her in exchange for the mascot role.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ranka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ranka reflects on her mission as a spy from Futatsugi to investigate Kamihama&#039;s Automatic Purification System. She struggles to gather intel while pretending to be a normal student. Frustrated, she visits an arcade. She bumps into Rena and they argue. They settle their dispute with gaming matches: Rena wins at DDR, Ranka wins at the fighting game. Momoko and Kaede arrive. The trio notices Ranka&#039;s ring and realizes she is a Magical Girl. Ranka lies about being a newbie who recently moved to Kamihama. Momoko offers to help her. The group later fights a Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rankass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ranka Chizu#Side Story|Ranka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the weekend, Ranka texts the trio asking to be shown around the city. They meet up. Rena mentions the Kamihama Magia Union. Ranka gathers intel on the group. They visit a dessert shop and then an arcade. Ranka shares her backstory: she wished to protect her hometown arcade from closing. A Witch appears and they fight together. Afterward, Momoko gives Ranka a Grief Seed. Ranka is conflicted, resenting the Kamihama girls for their abundance while Futatsugi girls struggle for Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rankass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ranka reflects on her failed spying attempts. She considers infiltrating the Kamihama Magia Union to meet its leaders. Juri calls, noting Ranka has stopped sending daily reports.

===Rui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Kosho Academy, Seira Mihono searches for a protagonist with a secret for her new film. Her classmates suggest Rui, a mysterious girl who never talks about herself. Rui, who knows the rumors are untrue, feels guilty. Lost in a fantasy where she fights terrorists as “Fortress, the Sorcerer,” she is interrupted by a classmate and, too shy to answer a simple question, retreats into her thoughts. She reflects that in her mind she is a cool heroine, but in reality she cannot connect with others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ruiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rui Mizuki#Side Story|Rui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

But when classmates later comment that such a cool character could only exist in fiction, Rui feels isolated, as if her true self is unacceptable.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ruiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rui Mizuki#Side Story|Rui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Akari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari wakes Hotaru after school. Hotaru notices Akari&#039;s Puchi-Usa keychain, which Haruto drew for her when she was young. Akari decides to tell Hotaru about her wish and how she became a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akari Mai#Side Story|Akari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari explains that she has always loved Haruto, but he treats her only as a little sister. When Haruto entered high school, he stopped walking with her due to club activities. Akari heard a rumor that Haruto was dating his club manager. Distressed, she wished to Kyubey to become 16 years old like Mimiko-chan, the transforming heroine she admired.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her wish only allowed her to transform temporarily. She turned back into an elementary schooler afterward. Akari regretted not wishing for everyone to perceive her as 16 from the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Akari patrolled for Witches and found Haruto under a Witch&#039;s Kiss. She saved him in her 16-year-old form. Haruto did not recognize her and thanked her as a stranger. He gave her his jacket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari returned Haruto&#039;s jacket, claiming a stranger asked her to return it. Haruto admitted he had fallen in love with the girl who saved him—not realizing it was Akari. Akari was conflicted: happy he fell for her, but sad he fell for a version of her that was not truly her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The bunny Nene died. Akari cried. Haruto came to give her a new Puchi-Usa keychain but hid it when he saw her crying. He comforted her and told her it was okay to cry. Akari loved his kindness and subtle thoughtfulness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari ran into Haruto while patrolling. Haruto was looking for the 16-year-old girl. Akari became jealous and badmouthed her 16-year-old self, calling her suspicious and a liar. Haruto got angry at Akari for speaking ill of someone she did not know. Akari ran away, feeling she was not worthy of him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari hid in an alley. Haruto came looking for her. A Witch appeared, and Haruto was under another Witch&#039;s Kiss. Hotaru appeared and caught Haruto with a pillow before he could jump. Hotaru and Akari defeated the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotaru revealed she had been watching over Akari since the bunny hutch. She told Akari that her kindness was one of her good points. Akari realized the 16-year-old version Haruto fell for was still a part of her. Hotaru encouraged her to apologize properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari, still in her 16-year-old form, lied to Haruto that she had taken Akari under her protection. Haruto was relieved and admitted he was too harsh with Akari. He said he did not want her to become someone who speaks ill of others. Akari apologized to Haruto in person. Haruto forgave her and said he was proud of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari resolved to become a wonderful adult on her own, without magic, and capture Haruto&#039;s heart when she was truly 16. She thanked Hotaru for giving her the push to apologize but Hotaru fell asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ryoko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryoko’s story begins at Suitoku Temple, the Tokime Tribe’s base, which was slated for demolition while officials hid the harm it would cause. Though she is from a neighboring town, Ryoko is bound to the tribe by blood, and she makes a wish to disclose the demolition details—saving the temple. Raised by her grandfather in a strict Buddhist temple, she is told her mother was a hero who saved the country yet died and left her behind. Ryoko grows to resent heroism, viewing it as empty fame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Her cynicism is tested when Moka Megumi tries to save a drowning kitten despite being unable to swim. Ryoko rescues her and asks why; Moka says she simply cannot stand someone dying on her watch. Ryoko does not take her seriously at first, still believing people play the hero only to be seen as one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The turning point comes when her grandfather plays a recording of her mother’s final message. Her mother worked in intelligence, gathering intel on domestic terrorists, and when backup failed to arrive, she acted alone to prevent a war. The revelation shatters Ryoko’s old beliefs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She accepts the Tokime Tribe’s invitation—something she had previously refused. Her grandfather already knows she is a magical girl. Her debut in “A New Beginning” happens when she overhears a monk say the tribe’s members are coming to Kamihama; she goes to see for herself and arrives just in time to witness Touka’s Doppel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama’s adjuster shop, Karin Misono finds Kush sleeping inside the tent. Mitama explains that Kush cannot stay awake during the day due to her wish: “I just want the morning to never come.” Kush reveals she made her wish because she longed to live in a fantasy world like the one in her favorite book, &#039;Good‑Bye Fable,&#039; and her magical girl outfit resembles the story’s protagonist. Ui Tamaki and Little Kyubey arrive, and Kush briefly attacks Little Kyubey, mistaking him for the Kyubey she despises. Over tea, Mitama notices Kush’s long canine teeth stained red and later receives a message from her sister Mikage about a rumor of a vampire girl in the Hokuyo Mountains. Karin and Kush agree to investigate together, but Kush runs off to her night class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, the two meet up with Riko Chiaki and Ashley Taylor, who are making a horror video about the same rumor. The group searches the mountains at night. Kush can see in the dark and leads them, but she is still sleepy. They find a discarded camera containing a video of Rui Mizuki dropping it and disappearing. When a mysterious sound frightens the others, they accidentally leave Kush behind. Left alone, Kush eats cherry tomatoes and senses a witch. The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one. They also learn that Rui is Kush’s friend; she had filmed Kush entering the barrier before being caught by it. The group later glimpses a white‑haired silhouette and flees, thinking a real vampire might exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley posts a video warning others to stay away from the mountains. At Mitama’s shop, Ui hears about the incident and learns the vampire was just a misunderstanding. Meanwhile, Chika Aoba, whose animal traps and axe cuts the group had found, decides to move her work farther from the trails so she does not frighten anyone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Homura Akemi in Magia Record#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is flooded with more memories of her other self preparing for Walpurgisnacht with allies. She wonders if there might be a real possibility for salvation in this timeline, where no one has to be sacrificed. However, she believes it has nothing to do with her. She breaks out of the labyrinth and the dream ends. Kyubey asks if she was curious about what happened to her other self. Homura says it does not matter; she believes in Madoka&#039;s words that her efforts will not be in vain. A new universe is about to be born, and Homura must protect it for Madoka&#039;s sake. Kyubey states they will both forget Madoka, but Homura is determined to never forget her.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new universe where Witches do not exist, Kyoko is surprised to find Sayaka has disappeared. Mami explains the Law of Cycles causes Magical Girls to disappear when they lose hope. Homura cries as she remembers Madoka, but neither Mami nor Kyoko know who Madoka is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka spend the day together in Kamihama, enjoying each other’s company until they encounter Ria Ami, a model and magical girl who has already defeated the witch they were tracking. Ria invites them to tea and later takes them to the fashion district, where she notices that Homura’s attention never leaves Madoka. Admitting her jealousy, Ria says she wishes someone would look at her the same way, and Homura replies that she will protect Madoka. After Ria departs, Homura thinks that even if Madoka does not realize how cool she is, she will still save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Homura steals weapons from a group called the Soukaihou using her time stop, but she is caught afterward by Meiyui Chun, a magical girl affiliated with the group. Instead of punishing her, Meiyui thanks her for taking weapons that belonged to troublemakers and invites Homura to share mapo tofu. Over the meal, Meiyui learns Homura fights to protect someone precious to her and says she understands, offering her support and suggesting the spicy dish whenever the burden becomes too painful to bear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Homura is practicing her shooting alone when Natsuki Utsuho, a magical girl who cheers for others, offers to encourage her. Natsuki deduces Homura’s time stop ability and gives advice that significantly improves her aim. When Natsuki suggests Homura ask Mami to coach her, Homura calls, and Mami arrives within an hour. Mami uses her ribbons to move within Homura’s time stop during a sparring match, praising her rapid progress afterward. Homura agrees to return to Mitakihara with Mami, reflecting that she will keep moving forward to become a magical girl capable of protecting Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Sayaka arrives in Kamihama City to go shopping with Kyosuke Kamijou, though she insists it is not a date. When she hears a scream, she runs toward it and discovers Hinano Miyako at an empty elementary school. Hinano explains she was bumped on the head while setting up the chemistry lab, and Sayaka decides to help investigate. They find the culprit was a baseball that flew through the window from the baseball club practicing outside. Hinano returns the ball to a child and gives Sayaka a perfume she made, wishing her good luck on her date despite Sayaka&#039;s protests.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later in the shopping district, Emiri Kisaki approaches Sayaka, drawn by the perfume. After realizing Sayaka is not Hinano, Emiri offers to coordinate her wardrobe, claiming to be the &amp;quot;Cutest in the World.&amp;quot; Sayaka learns Emiri is also a magical girl but remains unsatisfied with the outfit suggestions, explaining the person she likes does not care about appearances. Emiri takes her to the top of a tower, where they view the city at night. Sayaka thanks her before heading to the train station, reflecting that her love is supported by the magical girls of Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the outing with Kyosuke arrives. After buying a CD, Kyosuke messages that his train is delayed. Sayaka fights a Witch she senses and meets Kokoro Awane, defeating it together. With time to spare, Kokoro invites her for tea. Sayaka shares that she became a magical girl to heal someone she loves, and Kokoro reveals she wished to bring her family together. Though problems remain, Kokoro believes she can unite them through her own power, and Sayaka finds strength in her words. When Kyosuke is about to arrive, Kokoro encourages her, and Sayaka runs to the station, feeling it will be a good day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On a later day, Mami is approached at a cafe by Rika Ayano, who admires her fighting style and asks to be friends. They spend the day shopping and at an arcade, and Mami admits she has not enjoyed herself like this in a while. Rika reminds Mami of Kyoko Sakura, and Mami reflects on her friendships in Mitakihara. They exchange contact information and agree to hang out again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, after Mami fights off familiars, Nanaka Tokiwa confronts her, having heard rumors about the strongest Magical Girl from Mitakihara. Nanaka wants to team up or fight her, and Akira Shinobu arrives, also eager to challenge Mami based on exaggerated rumors. Mami agrees to fight them on one condition: they have tea with her first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kyoko dismisses her but secretly follows, rescuing Ren when the familiar transforms into a witch. She gives Ren the Grief Seed, admitting that helping her didn&#039;t feel as wrong as she expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kyokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura in Magia Record#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When Manaka asks about her relationship with food, Kyoko is reminded of how her wish destroyed her family, but she simply says that eating is living and that she decided to survive no matter what. Kyoko admits she enjoys the cooking and promises to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kyokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura in Magia Record#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When they encounter a witch, Kyoko insists on fighting alone, but Konomi follows and gets injured. Kyoko reluctantly carries her home, where Konomi gives her a nadeshiko flower to match her name. Kyoko later realizes she stuck it in her hair and reflects that she ended up meeting a cute witch despite herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kyokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura in Magia Record#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ultimate&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart. She also finds Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, who were never supposed to become magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Panicking because she cannot prevent magical girls from becoming witches in this universe, Madoka investigates. She discovers the source blocking her intervention originated when the Holy Quintet first visited Kamihama, and she observes how Touka and Nemu—fated to die in every other universe—are alive and plotting with the Magius to lure Walpurgis Night to hatch Eve. Madoka reflects that their plan, if successful, would achieve what she herself accomplished. Unsure whether to intervene, she decides to investigate further and chooses Iroha as her next focal point, since this is the only universe where Iroha contracted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka observes Iroha’s past and finds the singular difference: on a normal day, Iroha took her usual shortcut but accidentally kicked a small pebble, nearly making her late. This tiny butterfly effect led to Iroha contracting and Ui, Nemu, and Touka surviving, derailing the universe’s fate. Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka decides not to interfere, fearing a clash that could destroy the universe. However, she laments that she may have no choice but to trample Iroha’s wish if this universe, now a singularity, threatens the stability of all other universes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Oriko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* After contracting with Kyubey, Oriko foresees Madoka becoming Kriemhild Gretchen and ending the world. To prevent this, she begins manipulating events and people around her. She uses Yuma Chitose as a distraction to keep Kyubey away from Madoka, then later convinces Yuma to contract by claiming Kyoko is in danger. Oriko also recruits Kirika Kure as her pawn. When Kirika kills another magical girl, Oriko decides to use the murders to further distract Kyubey from Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Oriko Mikuni in Magia Record#Side Story|Oriko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Oriko has another vision revealing that Madoka is not in Mitakihara but somewhere else entirely. She witnesses a spatial distortion connecting Mitakihara to Kamihama City and begins to suspect Kamihama might hold the key to changing the future. Oriko sends Kirika to Kamihama under the pretense of buying tea, instructing her to gather information from Mami and other magical girls there. She then takes Yuma to Kamihama herself, leaving her inside a witch barrier knowing Kyoko will come to rescue her. While exploring Kamihama for answers, Oriko nearly dies inside a powerful witch barrier and realizes she needs Kirika&#039;s help to continue. Kirika eventually returns home safely, reporting that Mami and Kyoko are also investigating Kamihama and that the city has an unusually high number of witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kirika returns home with supermarket tea, admitting she learned nothing. Oriko reassures her, but Kirika remains convinced the tea is inadequate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kirikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Eventually, Asuka, Sasara, Hinano, and Emiri help her, and the shop is cleaned perfectly. She gets the idea of holding a party from Momoko, Kaede, and Rena, who also plan to do something for Mitama as thanks.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Kanagi visits, and Mitama asks her about New Year events and decorations. She decides to decorate her store, but Kanagi warns her about the price and advises her to do DIY decorations instead. Mitama accepts the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi and Konomi visit Mitama with already-made decorations. Some are extras from Kanagi&#039;s maid cafe, and Konomi is experienced with making such decorations from her flower shop. The three of them make many beautiful decorations and set them up at the store.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitama realizes she has no plans for holding a party and no one is visiting. Just as she is feeling lost, the Mikazuki Villa team visits, bringing a beautiful kimono and New Year&#039;s food. They say it is their way to thank Mitama for her help. With Yachiyo&#039;s help, Mitama puts on the kimono and is touched by their actions. Momoko, Kaede, Rena, Asuka, and Sasara also visit. The kimono was chosen by everyone for Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;

Shizuka reveals she does not have a haregi but has a special outfit for a New Year&#039;s ceremony. She offers to show everyone.&lt;br /&gt;
* A package arrives with Shizuka&#039;s ceremonial outfit. She tries it on but discovers it has become highwater—too short to properly cover her. The outfit also has moth holes.

** Shizuka finds Kanoko at school with Sana, Tsumugi, and Manaka. Kanoko agrees to help. At Manaka&#039;s restaurant, they discuss design options. Kanoko suggests adding colorful mushroom lace and appliques. Sana suggests cat lace. Tsumugi suggests adding &amp;quot;TOKIME&amp;quot; on the back. Everyone is excited, but Manaka later sees the design and is horrified. She tells Shizuka it is inappropriate for a ceremonial outfit. Shizuka agrees it is too ostentatious.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana suggests asking Mifuyu, whose family runs a kimono shop. Mifuyu cannot help because her craftsman is ill, but she suggests asking Mitama, the Coordinator.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka visits Mitama. Mitama performs a Coordination, altering Shizuka&#039;s outfit to match her imagination of the traditional ceremonial costume. Shizuka is amazed by the result and feels confident and resolved.&lt;br /&gt;

===Iroha &amp;amp; Ui&#039;s Shrine Maiden Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno are being lazy, still treating it like New Year&#039;s. Yachiyo scolds them. Iroha and Ui feel anxious about the upcoming school semester but realize they have forgotten something important. Yachiyo suggests it might be cleaning. Iroha and Ui remember they need to clean their house in Takarazaki. The group agrees to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha &amp;amp; Ui (Shrine Maiden)#Side Story|Iroha &amp;amp; Ui&#039;s Shrine Maiden Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the house, they clean together. Felicia finds a photo album. Everyone looks through pictures of Iroha and Ui as children. They see photos from Ui&#039;s birthday party at the hospital, a Christmas when they had a flour snowball fight, and other memories. The girls tease Iroha for being a dork, and Iroha gets embarrassed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After cleaning, they take a break. Ui wants to have a party at the house, which has always been a dream of hers since she was hospitalized for so long. Iroha agrees. They buy cakes and cookies from a nearby pastry shop. Back at the house, they hold a small party. Yachiyo is worried about the cost, but Iroha says she and Ui paid with their allowance. They toast to everyone&#039;s help with cleaning. Felicia accidentally spills juice, and they laugh. As evening falls, they return to Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Ui receive a New Year&#039;s card from their parents overseas. They want to send something back but cannot decide how. Tsuruno and Felicia are watching a comedy show about an elderly couple sending video messages to their children. This gives Iroha and Ui the idea to record a video message for their parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They film their first video, but Yachiyo says it is too ordinary. Sana suggests making it more unique. Ui wants to introduce everyone at Mikazuki Villa to their parents. Iroha agrees. They try filming again with a script, but the takes go poorly—Yachiyo overthinks her cooking scene, Felicia struggles to tutor Ui, and Tsuruno is late. Ui suggests they abandon the script and just be themselves. They record a video of their daily life together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the video, Iroha and Ui perform a shrine maiden&#039;s dance they learned from helping at a shrine over New Year&#039;s. They tell their parents not to worry and wish them luck with work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* After Mitakihara City’s school closing ceremony, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura walk out together. Sayaka is glad the term is over, Madoka is excited, and Homura admits she will feel lonely without seeing them every day. Sayaka ruffles her hair and says they can still meet over break, whether hunting witches or hanging out. Madoka suggests visiting Mizuna Shrine in Kamihama for New Year’s to draw “Ultimate Fortunes.” Sayaka has other plans but encourages them to go together. After she leaves, Madoka asks Homura if she knows how to put on formal wear. Homura does not, so Madoka invites her to a kimono‑dressing class she found, saying she wanted the two of them to dress up with Sayaka but lacked the courage to go alone. Homura agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class, the instructor dresses them first; Madoka thinks Homura looks beautiful, and Homura calls Madoka cute. When the actual lesson begins, Madoka struggles badly and trips, while Homura learns quickly enough that the instructor says she will have no trouble. Madoka takes a break outside, feeling useless. Sayaka happens by and asks why she wanted to dress up in the first place - to have fun. Sayaka tells her not to overthink; even if she makes mistakes, she will still have the memories. Encouraged, Madoka returns and finally manages to dress herself after another trip.&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year’s Day, both have their formal wear put on at a store. They joke that the class was interesting but not very useful for the real occasion. They take lots of pictures to show Sayaka, then wish each other a happy new year and go to Mizuna Shrine to draw fortunes. Madoka hopes everyone has a lucky year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka find themselves trapped in a strange dream—a life-sized board game set across Kamihama City. They must reach the goal by following the game&#039;s rules. There are no Familiars or attempts to harm them, so Homura suspects it is accidental mischief rather than a trap. They roll dice to move between squares and complete missions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Kimono)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;First Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They arrive at a shopping center. The mission is to deliver lost items from the New Year&#039;s sale to the Information Desk. They meet Aimi, who found a plain notebook with no name. Aimi worries it is someone&#039;s secret fantasy diary and does not want to read it. They take it to the Information Desk and complete the mission. Aimi mentions she is shopping for materials to knit a scarf or gloves for a boy named Hayato.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** They roll again and move to a new square. The mission is to reunite two sisters who failed to meet. They find Tsukasa waiting for her twin Tsukuyo. Tsukuyo forgot her phone and cannot remember the meeting spot. Madoka and Homura offer to find Tsukuyo. They find her, but Tsukasa has wandered off while waiting. The sisters fail to meet, and Homura and Madoka lose three turns. They eventually reach the Mizuna Shrine goal, but the game says they have not met the goal conditions and sends them back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Second Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They are back at the beginning, wearing their kimonos. They see their past selves from the first loop. The same mission appears—reunite the twins. They meet Tsukasa again, who remembers them from before and is confused by their kimono change. Madoka tells Tsukasa where Tsukuyo is, but Tsukasa runs off before Madoka can explain she should wait. They try to find Tsukasa but fail. The mission fails again, and they are sent back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Third Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes: buy a lucky bag costing one million Magica. They search for a store and take a break at a cafe. They see Ria being interviewed and overhear a boy named Hayato saying he needs a warmer scarf. They find Kokoro and Masara, who lead them to a stationery lucky bag. Kokoro mentions Tsukasa is still looking for Tsukuyo. Madoka wants to help Tsukasa, and Homura agrees. They find Tsukuyo, who has been wandering and dropped something important. They learn Tsukuyo dropped her exchange diary with Tsukasa—the same notebook Aimi found. The mission completes, but they are sent back to the start again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes again: help a child who lost something. They find Tsukuyo waiting. She dropped the exchange diary. Homura and Madoka take her to the Information Desk to reclaim it. Madoka remembers Tsukasa was last seen near a specific area. They wait there and finally reunite the twins. They also tell Aimi that Hayato wants a warm scarf. Everyone ends up happy. Homura and Madoka reach the goal without regrets. Homura reflects that she does not want the dream to last longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka learns the meaning of &amp;quot;When winter comes, spring isn&#039;t far behind&amp;quot; at the end of December. Just before New Year&#039;s Eve, Madoka asks if anyone has plans for the holiday. Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko and Nagisa meet the teacher and children at the park. The kids immediately recognize Kyoko, so the pair double down on the movie lie. The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the performance, Kyoko and Sayaka use quick‑change costumes while Nagisa sneaks discarded clothes off set. The children are awed by the glowing weapons and effects, explained with lighting tricks and soap bubbles. After the class leaves, the group reviews the footage and decides to keep a copy. Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko returns the props to Sayuki, then visits an aquarium to pass time. As she leaves, she spots the same kindergarteners, detects a witch, and rushes to fight it. She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On the way, a delivery truck carrying the chocolate coins is possessed by a Witch&#039;s Kiss and goes on a rampage. Nagisa and Kyoko chase it, jump onto the truck, and enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Nagisa uses her forbidden technique to defeat the Witch. The truck and other vehicles are unharmed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

She says this is the best present ever. Tsuruno turns the stars back on and they enjoy their very own Milky Way. Yachiyo says she never expected her tears would be those of joy.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede, Rena, and Momoko have picked out new swimsuits. Momoko could not buy one because she spent her allowance on a concert tour. They decide to go to the beach together. Kaede mentions that Mikazuki Villa is renting a lodge for a study camp. Rena asks Yachiyo if they can join. Yachiyo agrees. They arrive at the lodge. Yachiyo announces that everyone must complete ten pages of homework per subject per day before they can play.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rena &amp;amp; Kaede (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena negotiates with Yachiyo: if they can finish all three days&#039; worth of homework in one day, they can play at the beach tomorrow. Everyone agrees. They study hard together. Rena suggests a reward system to stay motivated. They shout encouragement like at an idol concert. Yachiyo and Momoko help with difficult problems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By evening, everyone has met their quota. Rena and Kaede rush to the beach. But Rena has eaten too much chocolate and feels bloated. She is embarrassed and refuses to go swimming. She goes to bed early.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rena, Kaede, and Momoko finally play at the beach. Mitama, Kanagi, and Mifuyu visit. Mitama has brought homemade rice balls as a reward. To decide who gets them, they hold a fishing contest. Rena and Kaede catch a pufferfish but come in second place. Kanagi wins first place and gets stuck with Mitama&#039;s cooking. Mifuyu is affected first. Rena and Kaede eat the remaining Mitama musubi and feel sick. They rest for the rest of the afternoon. Yachiyo goes shopping alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Rena and Kaede notice Yachiyo acting strange. They follow her and find her with fireworks. Yachiyo admits she bought them for everyone but felt too shy to ask. Rena and Kaede insist on setting them off together. They gather everyone. The group enjoys fireworks on the beach. Rena and Kaede stay up late playing with the leftovers. Momoko reflects on how much they have changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They wake up past noon. There is only an hour before the bus leaves. They quickly change into swimsuits and race to the beach. Rena loses and buys everyone juice.

** They browse swimsuits, but Mitama insists on choosing thoughtfully rather than buying on a whim. They separate briefly, and Mitama runs into Mikage, deflecting questions about what she’s doing. Momoko later admits she also had to make excuses after running into Rena and Kaede. Instead of buying swimsuits, Mitama brings Momoko back for an adjustment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the adjustment, they emerge in new swimsuits—Momoko’s tailored perfectly to her tastes, leaving her flustered but secretly pleased. Mitama teases her and admits she’s nervous but excited.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On contest day, Mitama and Momoko play on the beach. They learn the contest requires performing a shared beach memory with chemistry. They plan to tell the story of Mitama’s deserted island ordeal while Momoko adds her side of worrying. While playing, they fight a Witch together—the first time Mitama has teamed up with someone—then run straight into Rena, Kaede, and Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They win by performing the events of the day instead of their planned story. Rena claims the stuffed bunny, and Mikage gets the Candy World tickets, immediately inviting Mitama. Apologies are exchanged, and the others ask for no more secrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, while Mitama and Momoko clean up, Rena and Kaede take Mikage to get drinks. A girl from Mitama’s past confronts her: the one Mitama accidentally shoved down the stairs years ago. A crowd gathers, muttering rumors, but Momoko defends Mitama and the crowd disperses. The girl realizes it was an accident and offers to help clear Mitama’s name, but Mitama declines, saying she no longer needs it because she has someone who believes in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The group spends the day swimming, building a sandcastle, and splitting into smaller activities. While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

** The old woman and the photographer meet; the photographer confesses her guilt over their childhood fight, but the woman explains Himari never mentioned any quarrel—her illness suddenly worsened that day. The two women reconcile, and both thank Madoka for bringing them together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond. Madoka reflects that the thing she could only do here was to reunite the two women and give them peace. Her friends call her for one last swim, and she runs off to join them, already thinking of returning to the island someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomuradsSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends.

They eat lunch and shaved ice. Ashley records their conversation. Madoka and Homura leave early for Witch patrol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka&#039;s group meets Takamine&#039;s wife and daughter. A strong wind blows the daughter&#039;s hat into the ocean. Sayaka and Kyoko transform into swimsuits and ride a surfboard to retrieve it, using Nagisa&#039;s floaty as a distraction. The hat is recovered. Takamine&#039;s wife realizes she lost her notepad. Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while waiting, Nagisa and Riko play with water guns. Sayaka&#039;s group relaxes on the beach. Madoka and Homura find Sayaka&#039;s copy in Mirrors. The copy lures them into a trap, but they manage to get the CD list from her and escape. They send it to Sayaka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring. They plan for future fights: Sayaka will handle Familiars, Madoka and Homura will immobilize the Witch, and Mami will finish it off. Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the team encounters a paramedic and a girl under a Witch&#039;s influence. They enter the Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. The paramedic wakes up and thanks them and the team slips away quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of school after summer vacation, Mami calls Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura to the roof. Kyoko and Nagisa fought a powerful Witch and retreated. They warn the others and the team meets to plan. Kyoko and Nagisa will immobilize the Witch while Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura handle the Familiars. Mami will finish it off with her new firework attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The ext morning, the Witch appears and the team executes their plan. Mami uses a powerful firework attack, which she names &amp;quot;Fiore Finale,&amp;quot; to defeat the Witch. They rescue the captured people. A paramedic from earlier recognizes them and offers to take care of the victims. The team rushes to school but is late.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A taxi driver from the previous encounter sees them and gives them a ride. He thanks them for protecting the town. They arrive at school just in time.

===Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko invites Homura, Mami, Sayaka, and Madoka to the beach using tickets Mitama gave her after another accidental transformation into her magical swimsuit. The group swims, then Kyoko dominates the buffet. They discover a cliff diving spot, where Sayaka, Mami, and Kyoko take turns jumping while Madoka and Homura watch. They agree to return the day after next, since Madoka is busy the following day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kyoko asks Mitama to let her keep the swimsuit form for the summer, then heads to the beach alone.

Ui improves, but a rip current nearly sweeps her away; Kyoko rescues her. Moved by Ui’s determination, Kyoko keeps training her until sunset, and Ui finally masters swimming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully. Later, Kyoko visits Mitama to revert her outfit, explaining she wants to learn swimming properly rather than relying on magic. She trades a Grief Seed for money to buy ramune as payment for a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Eternal Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;

===Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Momoko Togame (Sanctified)#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi meet again. Mitama shares her realization: her grief has ended. She now wants to make amends and carve a new future for Kamihama. They discuss ideas for the student conference. Kanagi suggests a sports festival. Mitama suggests a festival with food stalls. They joke about romance and love interests. Mitama feels lighter and ready to move forward. She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Touka and Nemu separately sneak to Ui’s room to leave apology notes. They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They first visit Mitama’s shop, where they meet Maria and Konomi. Mikage hands out sweets, crediting Lavi’s teaching, and Mitama permits them to visit the Mikazuki girls after receiving a cake. At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the real world, Tsuruno gives gelato to Ui and Felicia. Ui is absorbed in playing a game called &amp;quot;Little Vacation&amp;quot; on Tsuruno&#039;s phone. The game follows Tsuruno and Felicia as Reindeer Santas traveling to reach the End of the World and the Wishing Star.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia (Special Delivery)#Side Story|Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno uses the Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a hint: &amp;quot;The key is something you don&#039;t know the importance of until it&#039;s gone. This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The girls encourage Tsuruno and Felicia to leave since they were not originally trapped. Tsuruno and Felicia walk out easily. They promise to return once they find a way to free everyone. They leave, having failed to deliver smiles for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Town of Miraculous ☆ Prestidigitations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the next town. They meet Mitama, a magician performing tricks, and twins Rion and Hotori. Mitama attempts to teleport Hotori but accidentally duplicates her. There are now two Hotoris. Tsuruno and Felicia try to help. The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win. The duplicates are left behind. The single Tsuruno who lost is left alone without Reindeer-san #2 or the Okamochi Box. She decides to continue traveling anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; The three Tsurunos reunite and discuss the hints from the Okamochi Box. They realize &amp;quot;three heads are better than one&amp;quot; refers to them working together to solve the Maze Town puzzle. They also realize the key in Maze Town was a &amp;quot;smile&amp;quot;—something Ren had lost along the way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game. Game Tsuruno is surprised, saying the actual people probably do not play the game anymore. They celebrate their success and set their sights on the next town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents. Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia return home and ask to hear the full story, so Yachiyo retrieves the scarf from the time capsule where she had hidden it years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Check on the days again to make sure how many days pass. It&#039;s possible it&#039;s all just one day&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami finds herself in a strange white fog, speaking with two other versions of herself. Holy Mami claims she has learned the truth about magical girls from Alina Gray and Touka Satomi and has found a way to save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami has tea with Touka and Alina at a house rented for her by Touka. Mami explains she has not returned to Mitakihara because her priority is releasing magical girls. Touka and Alina offer to lecture her on what she needs to study. Alina grows disturbingly excited discussing van Gogh&#039;s Sunflowers, and Touka lectures at length on mathematics until Alina interrupts. Mami reassures them she will ask for help when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina receives a call from the Amane sisters requesting help with a Witch. Touka asks Mami to assist, explaining she has a lecture to give at noon to recruit skilled magical girls. Mami agrees, reflecting that releasing magical girls requires Grief Seeds, protecting Rumors, and raising Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane waiting for her. They explain the Witch has moved and the Black Feathers are monitoring it. A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren plan for their friends’ Christmas party a week away and promise to spend Christmas Eve together. While looking at options in a magazine, they cannot decide on a place. Ren buys the magazine to think it over, privately hoping to choose somewhere that will make Rika happy, though she doubts whether she truly belongs beside her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ren visits Emiri’s consultation room but finds only Akira and Ria Ami. She explains her dilemma, and Ria takes her around town to evaluate possible locations. They rule out a restaurant, an amusement park, and a romantic cafe, eventually settling on the Minagi Aquarium. Ria is surprised to learn Ren is planning an outing with Rika, not a boyfriend, but Ren leaves feeling confident in her choice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Christmas Eve, Rika attends a party with her school friends. When she mentions she will spend Christmas Eve at the aquarium with a friend, her friends press to join, but Rika refuses. She advises them not to look for boyfriends just to avoid being alone. Later, while walking with her friends, Rika spots Ren chasing after Aimi Eri. She follows and finds Ren comforting Aimi over a misunderstanding involving a boy; the situation resolves without trouble.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Ren waits for Rika, who messages that she overslept with a fever. Ren worries Rika became sick chasing after her the day before. Before she can reply, Aimi finds her, and they go shopping together. Aimi encourages Ren to visit Rika instead of staying apart. Ren goes to Rika’s house, knocks on her window, and insists they spend Christmas together there so Rika can rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They exchange gifts: Ren gives Rika scented candles, having noticed Rika’s interest from a sticky note, and Rika gives Ren a glass candlestick. Rika hopes they can visit the aquarium another time, and Ren leaves happy to have shared Christmas with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, assimilate them if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumor Tsuruno begins designing the park, adding a merry-go-round, roller coaster, spa, shops, and a cafe. The mascots warn that once the park is complete, she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world. Rumor Tsuruno claims no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Day 1 (Flashback/Reflection)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi wakes from a nap and remembers the dream she had when fused with the Kimochi. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words that helped her realize she had not truly given up.

** Lavi reflects on the hope she once held—a daydream of a peaceful life where magical girls are understood. In that dream, she helped her mother, tended fields with her grandfather, watched Urara&#039;s street performances, and attended exhibitions with Shirogane. She encountered other magical girls: Asahi, Haitani, Kuroda, Urara, and Alexandra. They fought witches together and enjoyed everyday moments. Lavi realized she had locked away this hope because remembering it was painful. But now, through her connection with Iroha and her time with Nayuta, she has begun to see the future again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Due to a scheduling mistake, everyone arrives at the same inn on the same day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** There is not enough premium beef for dinner. The groups compete in hot spring table tennis, karaoke, and pillow fights to decide who gets the meat. Yuna cheats in table tennis and is disqualified. The karaoke machine is outdated. The pillow fight becomes chaotic. Asahi saves the day with gibier meat. Everyone shares the meal and enjoys the evening together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects that this bustling, noisy future is unlike her usual self, but she realizes she has been yearning for it deep down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo tracks her location and rushes to the station with Tsuruno. Tsuruno finds Felicia, who confesses she cannot forget Iroha.

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Two Hands in Harmony|Two Hands in Harmony]]&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. It may already be done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane complain about being overworked as guardians of a Rumor and fear the anger of Touka, Alina, and Nemu. They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

===A Taste of Hospitality===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - A Taste of Hospitality|A Taste of Hospitality]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko and Ashley help Mitama film a video about her Coordinator services, whre she explains that she adjusts Soul Gems to draw out hidden potential, that she sees memories during adjustments but keeps them confidential, and that she also sells items for Magical Girls. As payment for the video, Riko gives Mitama an origami dog (Mameji) and Ashley gives her blue candy from her home, both of which Mitama puts in a box.&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, Mitama receives many gifts from Magical Girls, including Kokoro, Reira, Mito, Felicia, Ayame, Kako, Yachiyo, Karin, Himika, Rika and Emiri, the last of whom says that when people share their favorite things, it means they want to share what they love with Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama hums happily, which Momoko and Kanagi notice and feel a bad omen. Mitama announces that she wants to share what she loves with everyone and that she plans a party with food that she will cook. She asks Momoko and Kanagi to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin|Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One winter’s day before Christmas, Rika and Ren go shopping together. The town has no Christmas decorations and people seem depressed. They hear a distressed voice and find Mitama, wearing a Santa&#039;s beard and hat, and she introduces herself as a Christmas Spirit. Mitama says her job is to make everyone happy, but the task is too big. She gives Rika and Ren some of her magic, explaining that the magic requires them to be perfectly attuned to each other, and then she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, a swallow Familiar appears, claiming to be Mitama’s pupil and Rika names him Chirpie. Chirpie explains that Mitama saved him when he fell from his nest and gave him magic. He can sense cowardly hearts lacking courage and Rika and Ren must drive out ten cowardly hearts to make the town happy. Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chirpie leads them to Felicia and Sana, who had accidentally smashed a cake and are now arguing about who should apologize to Yachiyo. Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines|Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 13th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mitama is away from her shop, but Tsuruno is there, using the kitchen to make chocolate bonbons with a friend. She plans to surprise everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 14th:&#039;&#039;&#039; On Valentine&#039;s Day, Tsuruno gives beautifully wrapped chocolates to Iroha, Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana and Ui at Mikazuki Villa. Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rise of the Waning Moon===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Rise of the Waning Moon|Rise of the Waning Moon]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day during lunch break, Kanagi goes to Himika’s classroom, telling her she just wanted to see her face, which Himika finds strange.&lt;br /&gt;
** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===Finding Our Formula===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Finding Our Formula|Finding Our Formula]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Hinano and Emiri attend a chemistry event. Hinano is excited to see a chemist who reminds her of the woman she idolized as a child—a tall, long-legged lady who taught fun chemistry experiments. Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic|Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls finish dinner. Tsuruno and Felicia complain about going to the same public pool every summer. Yachiyo receives a phone call from a distant relative who runs a hotel. The relative needs help cleaning the hotel pool because the usual staff are sick. Yachiyo hesitates due to her modeling schedule. The girls offer to help. Yachiyo calls back and confirms they will come.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group arrives at the hotel and Yachiyo&#039;s relative, an older woman, greets them warmly. She says she used to hang out with Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river. Tsuruno and Felicia compete to see who can clean faster, inventing names for their techniques. Yachiyo scolds them for being inefficient. They eventually work together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha slips and falls but is not hurt. Felicia sprays Yachiyo with the hose and Yachiyo chases her. After a few hours, they finish cleaning. The relative rewards them with fluffy shaved ice.&lt;br /&gt;
** The pool is now clean and filled with water. The girls swim and play. Tsuruno and Felicia bring water guns and spray Yachiyo. Yachiyo chases them and gets out of the pool to walk upstream, eventually catching them. They all have fun.&lt;br /&gt;
** As they leave, the relative thanks them but reveals the pool may not open after all due to unforeseen issues. Everyone is shocked.&lt;br /&gt;

** The girls are about to leave when the relative reveals the pool may not open because support staff from the southern islands are delayed by a typhoon. Tsuruno volunteers the group to help until the staff arrives. Yachiyo worries they might cause trouble, but Iroha, Ui, and Sana want to try. They agree to help. Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the next day, the group arrives at the pool for opening day. Yachiyo handles reception. The ticket scanner malfunctions and a line forms. Mitama appears—she had plans with Iroha that were canceled. She offers to help and fixes the scanner by hitting it. The staff member returns and takes over.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama notices Yachiyo has something on her mind and suggests she talk to someone she trusts. Iroha later asks Yachiyo to help with a crowded lunch area. Ui is taking orders with Sana&#039;s invisible help making drinks.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral. Yachiyo admits she was worried about everyone but sees they are doing fine. Iroha tells Yachiyo it is okay to worry because she cares, and they can solve problems together. Iroha notices Yachiyo has been down and offers to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
** A foam machine malfunctions, spewing foam everywhere. A guest slips and falls. The group splits up to clean the foam and help guests. Mitama fixes the machine with a whack. The support staff arrives. The girls finally have time to enjoy the pool.&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models. She does not know what to post and is shy about taking selfies. Iroha suggests posting photos of herself and takes pictures of Yachiyo on a float with the sunset. Yachiyo is embarrassed but agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Tsuruno want a turn on the float. Everyone climbs on, and Mitama takes a group photo just as they all fall into the water. Iroha loves the photo.&lt;br /&gt;

They became close and talked openly with each other for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo too formal and uptight, while Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukuyo was devastated.

Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
** She met a girl named &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; N told Kako who was responsible and what she needed to do to destroy them. Kako clung to her. She later learned N was manipulative and saw others as pawns. Kako hates N and wants revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found herself in a Labyrinth. Nanaka fought off Familiars but was overwhelmed. Kyubey offered Kako the chance to become a Magical Girl.

She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kako learned Nanaka faked her struggle to entrap her into making the wish. Nanaka had pulled this trick on others to use them as pawns. Kako could not forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako and Nanaka fought Witches together. Nanaka encouraged Kako and told her she was better suited to being a Magical Girl than Nanaka was. Kako wanted to get stronger. Nanaka wrote a letter confessing her deception and asking Kako to kill her. Kako made up her mind to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka. She returned it unopened, saying it seemed wrong to read something Nanaka only sent by accident. Nanaka smiled and said Kako was dazzling. She said she would try to tell Kako her feelings in person someday.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako thinks Nanaka overestimates her, but she is no longer as scared and helpless as she used to be. She is a Magical Girl who protects the city by Nanaka&#039;s side.&lt;br /&gt;

Her mother says she just did. Kokoro changes her mind and says she does not want to hear it anymore. She prefers these cookies, the ones the three of them made together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Himika Mao&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Lucky Break Lost &amp;amp; Found===&lt;br /&gt;
* Himika Mao reflects on her life. Her family is far from rich, so when her dad got sick and collapsed, her whole world went dark. But it was her family&#039;s smiling faces that kept her going through it all. That is why she will continue to fight to protect them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Himika goes shopping for bargains and wins a grand prize from a drawing: a 2-night stay at a luxury hotel with a pool on a tropical island, complete with meals. She is thrilled to take her whole family. She hides the ticket in a Baby Bunny pouch for safekeeping.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Himika&#039;s father worked day and night to support their family of eight. He collapsed from overwork. He survived but could not work like before. The family was running out of money. Her siblings fought and cried. Her father suggested they all live in different facilities. Himika made a wish to Kyubey to cure her father. She became a Magical Girl. Her father recovered, and her family returned to a normal, peaceful life.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present Day) Himika&#039;s friends Kako and Ayame visit. Himika cannot find the ticket. She realizes she mistook the pouch for a stuffed animal and sent it away in a box of Mocha Bunny dolls for a crane game prize. She calls the shipping company, but the boxes have already been handed to a subcontractor.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama suggests having Himika&#039;s father call the subcontractor to track down the pouch. Himika&#039;s father does so. The company says they will search for it.&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Rena calls Himika. She saw the Baby Bunny pouch in a crane game at an arcade. Himika, Kako, Ayame, Rena, and Kaede go to the arcade. The pouch is in the replenishment case, meaning Himika must win all the Mocha Bunnies already out to reach it. Himika decides to use a strategy but is short on money.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika observes other players to learn techniques, calling it &amp;quot;crane training.&amp;quot; She strategizes to create an avalanche by knocking down piles of plushies. She successfully clears most of the machine. The staff restocks the machine, placing the pouch inside surrounded by four giant Mocha Bunnies.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika aims to move two bunnies out of the way to reach the pouch. She successfully clears the pandas and one bunny. She realizes there are two Baby Bunny pouches, not one. She cannot tell which is hers. She has only three tries left. She misses on two tries. On her final try, she aims for both pouches at once and succeeds. The crowd applauds.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Himika&#039;s family goes on the tropical vacation. She explains that when she asked Kyubey to cure her dad, what she really wanted was for her family to be back together. She later learns from a staff member that if she had explained the situation at first, they would have just given her the pouch back. All&#039;s well that ends well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ren Isuzu&#039;s Heartphial Story: Color to a Colorless World===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren Isuzu reflects on her life. She tried to end it twice, but now she is living her life. On the day she was saved, she found a shining light here in this world, and it made her think it is not worth giving up on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before becoming meguca). Ren writes in her journal and draws illustrations. She tells a story about a bear cub who lives in a gray world after dying. The bear cub is happy because no one will be mean to her anymore. Ren realizes she is the bear cub. She has been bullied her whole life. She tried to kill herself but did not want to die. Kyubey appeared and granted her wish to live. She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey told her that Witches can cause bullying. Ren decided to fight Witches to build a kinder world. But she realized that some people are just bad, and defeating Witches does not change that. She attempted suicide again. Rika found her and stopped her. Rika became her light. Rika introduced her to new friends and gave her presents. Rika said that as long as you have one shining thing in the world, you can keep going.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (present) Ren and Rika go shopping. Ren finds an earring someone dropped and returns it. The owner is grateful. Ren feels happy and buys a colored pencil. She thinks about adding color to her bear story. She decides to use the Cherry Pink pencil because Rika loves pink. She writes about a Spirit of Light that appears before the bear cub and shows her that the world is not actually gray—it is full of colors.&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri shows Ren a kaleidoscope. Hinano invites her to make one. Akira helps her carry a package. Konomi gives her flowers. Kanoko shows her a mushroom-themed clothing design. Ren writes about the bear cub meeting a Spirit of Light with many friends—a butterfly, a shrub, a lion, a tulip, and a mushroom. The Gray World gradually takes on color. The bear cub does not want it to end.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren invites Rika to a picture book exhibition. Rika declines because she has plans. Ren is rejected and embarrassed. She invites Rika to a teddy bear exhibition. Rika declines again, saying she has lessons. Ren is sad. She sees Rika with Emiri and Kanoko, and Rika says she has no lessons. Ren feels betrayed. The bear cub realizes the Spirit of Light is disappearing from her world. The world goes back to gray.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika messages Ren, apologizing and saying she was planning a surprise birthday party. Ren does not reply. She hides in a dark room at school. Rika finds her and calls her instead of opening the door. Rika explains she wanted to surprise Ren. She gives Ren a set of 12 colored pencils with a carved lily of the valley on the case. Ren cries and thanks her. The bear cub looks up and sees the Spirit of Light smiling at her. Her world is once again filled with light.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren buys another colored pencil. She notices the name is &amp;quot;Blue Sky&amp;quot; instead of &amp;quot;Sky Blue.&amp;quot; She hears a voice talking about the Rumor of Parallel Memories. She feels dizzy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren dreams she is dead. She cannot see or touch her parents. They mourn her suicide. She never became a Magical Girl and never met Rika. She watches her friends go to the teddy bear exhibition without her. She is invisible. She feels awful and wants to go back to the land of the living. She remembers the colored pencil with the different name—that must be the proof of another world. She holds it and wishes to live. She wakes up. It was all a dream. Rika messages her to join everyone for snacks. Ren goes to meet them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren finishes her bear story. The gatekeeper asks the bear cub if she has any regrets. The bear cub says yes. She wishes to leave behind her journal, filled with entries about the Spirit of Light and all the sparkles she showed her. The gatekeeper opens the gates. The bear cub does not say goodbye because she knows she will see the Spirit of Light again someday in the World of Light. Ren realizes the bear cub is reborn, just like she was when she met Rika and her friends. She can live in a world full of color.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Konoha Shizumi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Shuffled Truffles Trouble===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoha Shizumi reflects on her life. Azalea House was a place that reminded her of the joy of life and brought color back into her gray world. She refused to lose it, even if she had to risk her life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Childhood) Konoha&#039;s father was a businessman whose business went bankrupt after she was born. He died from stress, and her mother passed away soon after. Konoha was sent to an orphanage called Azalea House. Her heart was frozen, but the director&#039;s kindness slowly brought color back to her world. She met Hazuki and Ayame there. They became sisters bound by a bond stronger than blood. The director treated them like family.&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before becoming Magical Girls) Azalea House was to be torn down due to unknown powerful forces. The stress of it claimed the director&#039;s life. Kyubey appeared and offered contracts. Konoha wanted to become a Magical Girl alone to protect her sisters, but they insisted on joining her. They made their wishes: Konoha wished for the Azalea House to last forever. Hazuki wished to eliminate all causes that threatened it. Ayame wished for everyone at the orphanage to forget they were ever there. They left Azalea House and have lived together ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Konoha visits Azalea House with Hazuki and Ayame. She reflects on their journey. They part ways, and Konoha goes to the department store sale to buy truffles. She bumps into Kanoko and swaps bags by accident. She ends up with chocolate truffles instead of mushroom ones. Mitama messages Kanoko, who replies with emojis indicating she is near the Kamihama University Affiliated School. Konoha and Mitama go to find her.&lt;br /&gt;
** They find Kanoko chasing a bus. She left her bag on the bus. They catch up to the bus, but the bag is already gone. Mitama contacts Asuka, who picked up the bag for safekeeping. They go to the dojo where Asuka teaches. Asuka reveals she bumped into Momoko at a convenience store and may have switched bags again. Mitama tries to contact Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, but none of them answer. They fear the team may have encountered a strong Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha and Asuka search for Momoko&#039;s team. They enter a Labyrinth and find Nanaka&#039;s team struggling against a Witch. They help defeat it. Nanaka&#039;s team has not seen Momoko. Everyone fears the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to Mitama&#039;s shop and Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive unharmed. They had turned off their phones to watch a movie. Momoko reveals she left the bag at Blossom. Konoha goes to Blossom and retrieves her truffles. She also receives free flowers because today is a special anniversary.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha explains to Mitama that today is the anniversary of the day the three sisters left Azalea House and started living together. She wants to make it a special day for Ayame and Hazuki.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha returns home. She prepares a truffle dinner with Hazuki and Ayame. They cook together, sharing happiness as a family. Konoha asks them to always stick together. They promise to always be together, hands held tight, just the three of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hazuki Yusa&#039;s Heartphial Story: The Distance Between Us===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki Yusa reflects on her life. Azalea House was the place that taught her to smile again, the place that rescued her from the torment she covered up with a false grin. She was not going to lose it, no matter what it took.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A teacher asks Hazuki to deliver worksheets to Nanaka. Hazuki is reluctant because Konoha distrusts Nanaka after an incident where Nanaka&#039;s team tricked them into fighting a powerful Witch. Hazuki delivers the worksheets. Nanaka suggests they should share information without secrets. Hazuki agrees to try building trust, but she remains wary.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki arrives at the school camp. She is assigned to orienteering setup with Nanaka. They are paired together by random draw. They work through checkpoints. The map notes are outdated, and they get lost. It starts raining heavily.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the storm, the rope bridge collapses due to the rain. Hazuki and Nanaka cannot cross the river. They find an old shack for shelter. They huddle together for warmth. Hazuki shares her past: her parents died in an accident when she was young. She was shuffled between relatives until she ended up at Azalea House. She learned to hide her fear behind a smile. The director taught her to smile when her heart truly felt it. She met Konoha and Ayame there. They became family. They made wishes to protect Azalea House and left to live together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka listens quietly. She says she finally understands Hazuki&#039;s true self. Nanaka grows pale and cold. Hazuki worries she might collapse. Hazuki insists they huddle closer. Nanaka admits she is cold. They wait together.&lt;br /&gt;
** The rain stops. Akira and others find them at the shack. They are taken back to camp. The nurse checks them. Hazuki and Nanaka are cleared to stay. Nanaka is grateful for Hazuki&#039;s help. Hazuki teases Nanaka about being excited for pillow fights. Nanaka jokes back. They agree to enjoy the rest of camp together. Hazuki realizes she has seen a different side of Nanaka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ayame Mikuri&#039;s Heartphial Story: Runaway Adventure===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame Mikuri reflects on her life. Azalea House was a place that showed her real love. When she knew nothing about family, that place taught her warmth. She was not going to turn her back on it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame writes a letter to the Director, the late head of Azalea House. She explains that she, Konoha, and Hazuki are Magical Girls now. Konoha warns Ayame to stay away from Nanaka&#039;s team after a recent incident. Ayame agrees but secretly plans to meet up with Kako anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayame and Kako meet in secret. They are friends but cannot openly hang out because their teams do not get along. Ayame complains about the situation. Kako shows her a book about ocean adventures. Ayame becomes curious about whether the ocean boils when the sun sets. They decide to go to the beach together to find out.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame and Kako take a train and a bus toward the beach. Ayame is excited. Konoha calls and texts repeatedly, but Ayame ignores her. They get off the bus when it breaks down and take a detour. They discover a field of sunflowers. They share cup noodles together. Ayame turns off her phone. Kako also ignores Nanaka&#039;s messages to focus on their adventure. They finally reach the beach and watch the sunset together. Ayame still cannot tell if the ocean boils, but she is happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback - Azalea House) Ayame dreams of the Director. She remembers the day Azalea House was going to be torn down. The Director had already passed away. Konoha, Hazuki, and Ayame met Kyubey and decided to become Magical Girls. Ayame wished for Azalea House to stay open forever. Konoha wished to eliminate all threats to it. They decided on a third wish: to have everyone at Azalea House forget they were ever there. They left the orphanage and started living together. Ayame remembers Konoha&#039;s promise that they would always be together. She reflects on her conflict with Konoha over her friendship with Kako. She wishes the Director could tell her what to do.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame wakes up at Kako&#039;s relatives&#039; house. Konoha has arrived. She found Ayame by asking Nanaka to track Kako&#039;s location. Ayame refuses to go home, saying Konoha has been stifling her. She promises to tell Konoha where she is next time. Konoha apologizes. She did not realize how her words were making Ayame feel. She promises to talk things through with Hazuki and Ayame. Kako is relieved. Ayame treasures the memory of her adventure. She promises never to forget it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Masara Kagami&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Flame Kindled in the Vastness===&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara Kagami reflects on her life. After becoming a Magical Girl, not much felt dramatically different. But encounters and experiences since have changed her. She thinks her dull and pointless life has just gotten a little more colorful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara finds the world boring. She is good at swimming but lacks passion. Kyubey appears and offers her any wish. She wishes for a load of money and becomes a Magical Girl. She fights Witches, and the excitement fades quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara meets Kokoro Awane in a Labyrinth. Kokoro is uncomfortable with Masara&#039;s reckless fighting and tells her to protect herself more. Masara says she does not care if she dies. Kokoro says her family would care. Masara questions why Kokoro blames herself for her family&#039;s problems. Kokoro asks if they can stick together. Masara agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a Witch hunt, they&#039;re attacked by a Witch and Masara takes a hit to protect Kokoro. She gets a scar. She starts avoiding Kokoro because she does not understand her feelings. Mitama explains that Masara fears seeing Kokoro get hurt, so she avoids her to prevent that pain. Masara realizes she fears losing Kokoro, so they reconcile.&lt;br /&gt;
* The swim club announces the relay team. Masara is chosen but declines, saying she is not good at team sports. Koshino, who has always been second to Masara, is chosen as her replacement. Koshino vows to beat Masara&#039;s record.&lt;br /&gt;
* While Kokoro and Masara go on patrol, they see Koshino training alone after school hours. Koshino tells Masara she beat her personal record. Masara is puzzled by Koshino&#039;s passion.&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Masara passes Koshino training again. They start talking about her times regularly. Kokoro notes that Koshino will never catch up to Masara&#039;s times. Masara wonders what drives Koshino.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days before the competition, Koshino beats Masara&#039;s record once. The swim club captain praises her. Masara feels something but cannot identify it. She is not annoyed. She does not know what she feels.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day before the competition, Koshino has an accident and cannot compete. Masara agrees to take her place. She is surprised by her own motivation. Kokoro notices the change.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the competition, Masara swims well. Her team finishes second, but she was in the lead when passing the baton. Koshino comes to watch and thanks Masara for doing the race for her. Kokoro says Masara has changed. Masara decides she wants to keep swimming a while longer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika Ayano&#039;s Heartphial Story: Haunting Love, Haunting Mistake===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika Ayano reflects on her life. She does not want to feel like she became a Magical Girl for nothing. She got to see what dating is like and made loads of friends. But sins do not wash away so easily. That is the price you pay for a miracle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback, but the entirety seems like mostly a flashback) Kyubey offers Rika any wish in exchange for becoming a Magical Girl. Hinano warns her not to do it, but Rika ignores the advice. She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Riko Chiaki&#039;s Heartphial Story: Worked Out with a Woof===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki reflects on her life. Even though her mom and dad were hardly home because of work, she never felt lonely as long as Miss K was around. She cared about her so much that she just wanted to help her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback) Riko helps out at her parents&#039; bento store. She is close with Miss K, the daughter of the hardware store owner next door. Miss K has always been like a big sister to her. Miss K cries to Riko that her father opposes her marriage because he does not want her to move far away. Riko wishes to Kyubey for Miss K&#039;s marriage to be accepted. She becomes a Magical Girl. Miss K gets married and moves away. Riko misses her but does not regret her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Riko goes filming with Ashley. She tells Ashley about Miss K. She explains that Miss K&#039;s father never fully accepted the marriage, and they have not made up. Riko receives a message from Miss K saying she was in the hospital because she was pregnant. She invites Riko to visit her new house. Riko goes and meets the baby. Miss K asks Riko to be friends with her child. Riko becomes like a big sister to the baby. She feels happy that her wish came true but is sad Miss K and her father never reconciled.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko walks Mameji and sees Miss K&#039;s father standing outside the hardware store, looking sad. She wonders what is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley advises Riko to ask Miss K directly if she wants to make up with her father. Riko texts Miss K and asks to meet. Miss K replies that she will come to Riko&#039;s town instead. Riko is excited.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Miss K visits Riko. They talk about her father. Miss K says she wants to make up with him but does not know how. Riko suggests inviting him to meet the baby, giving him a present, or going on a family trip. Miss K doubts any of it will work. They walk to Riko&#039;s store together. They encounter Miss K&#039;s father outside. Riko admits she asked Miss K to come so they could patch things up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Miss K&#039;s father reveals he brought a herbarium to Riko&#039;s store. It was originally meant as a gift for his grandchild, but he could not bring himself to deliver it. Riko realizes Mameji had been guiding her this whole time. Earlier, Mameji had barked at the cake that turned out to be from Miss K&#039;s father. Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky. She realizes she is dying, having protected Yachiyo. She remembers how everyone was fighting for dear life. She wished she were stronger to help them. She is sorry for not being stronger. She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ashley Taylor&#039;s Heartphial Story: Can&#039;t Be Myself Without What I Love===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley Taylor reflects on her life. Studying in Japan is awesome fun. She wants to find more kawaii for her vlog viewers back home and asks her father to watch over her while she pursues her passions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley vlogs with Riko&#039;s help. She films herself shopping for Magical Kirin merch and gurokawa items. After editing and uploading the video, she replies to comments from her followers. She thinks about her father and hopes he is watching.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley remembers the day she wanted to study abroad in Japan. Her father refused without giving a clear reason, which was unusual. Kyubey appeared and offered to grant any wish. Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko notices Ashley seems down. She worries Ashley is overworking herself by vlogging daily and replying to comments late at night. Ashley says it does not feel like work because she loves it. She thanks Riko for being a kind friend. They go out to film another vlog.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley continues vlogging daily. She worries about skipping a day because her followers might unfollow her. She wakes up to find Kumanosuke missing. She panics, feeling like her world is ending. Riko arrives with a bento and finds Ashley crying. Ashley explains she lost Kumanosuke. Riko comforts her and says it is okay to skip a vlog. Ashley admits she has been using followers&#039; comments to fill the hole left by her father&#039;s death. Riko says she understands loss—she misses her sister who moved far away. They decide to search for Kumanosuke.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko suggests Ashley ask her followers for help finding Kumanosuke. During a live stream, a commenter suggests rewatching her previous vlog. Ashley realizes she left Kumanosuke on a chair when she got distracted by a crane machine. They find Kumanosuke on a shelf at the store, dressed in Waloli Gurokawa clothes. Ashley gets him back. She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call|Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wait, You Got It Wrong!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayu Kozue&#039;s most treasured possession is a bear pendant her father carved for her before he died. When a hand-drawn postcard is stolen from the museum where she works, security footage shows her friend Ria at the scene moments later. Mayu cannot reach Ria and suspects a Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~|Wait, You Got It Wrong! / Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While searching for Ria, Mayu encounters Asuka Tatsuki, whose family&#039;s invaluable book of secrets was also stolen. A witness described a blonde girl in a Mizuna uniform—Ria. They find Sayuki Fumino crying over her stolen sword book, then Rena Minami who was bumped by the same girl. At Walnut&#039;s restaurant, Manaka Kurumi accuses Ria of stealing a rice omelet. A Witch barrier appears, and after Mayu and Asuka defeat the Familiars, Ria arrives demanding to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka challenges Ria to a duel over the thefts, and Ria loses. She confesses to something embarrassing, and everyone assumes she means the thefts—but she meant a binder of idol clippings she desperately hopes no one saw. She was only chasing the Witch to recover her own stolen belongings. Relieved, Mayu and Asuka join her. They track and defeat the Witch, recovering most items, but the museum postcard, the dojo book, and Ria&#039;s binder remain missing. They agree to search again tomorrow. That night, Mayu dreams of her father, who tells her material things are destined to break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, thefts continue across the city. Mayu realizes the Witch they defeated was only a Familiar and the real Witch is still out there. She offers her precious pendant as bait to track it. Despite Ria&#039;s protests, Mayu uses it, and they follow the magic trail to the Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After a difficult battle, they recover all stolen items, though Mayu&#039;s pendant is scratched and its chain broken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu is unbothered. She explains that material possessions naturally break, but the memories they hold remain in her heart—a lesson from her father. Asuka and Ria are moved, and Mayu turns to walk home, promptly falls into a lake, and flounders while Ria sighs that she has not changed at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor she calls Miss K. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Miss K with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Miss K&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Miss K to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

===&amp;quot;Let&#039;s hit the Suitoku baths! (Music Collection 1 bonus drama)&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo, Iroha, and Sana prepare a meal. Felicia reluctantly helps. Tsuruno arrives with a flyer for Suitokuyu, a public bathhouse holding an event as part of a shopping district revitalization plan. She invites everyone to go together. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the bathhouse, they read the posted rules. Tsuruno pretends to be a &amp;quot;bathhouse master&amp;quot; and teaches them. Sana becomes embarrassed about being naked in front of everyone. Yachiyo understands her feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Villa. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;
~A Little Break For Us~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===This is The Warmest Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha is going about her day when Sana, Felicia, and Ui present her with a pinwheel and ask her to blow on it. Though confused by their strange behavior, Iroha does as they ask and the girls thank her before quickly scampering off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~#This Is The Warmest Day Login Special|This is The Warmest Day]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts. When Yachiyo asks Iroha&#039;s opinion, Iroha expresses her love for shortcake and suggests they bake one immediately, but Yachiyo insists she wait for the right moment, which will come sooner than she thinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Lavi is shopping when Nayuta finds her to share news about her math test score. They return home where Lavi prepares dinner, and Nayuta discovers Lavi earned perfect scores in every subject, highlighting the gap between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House|The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day while Lavi runs errands, Nayuta confides in Mikage about her fears that Lavi only respects her father and secretly resents serving her. Seeking answers, Nayuta visits Mitama, who suggests that kindness and broad-mindedness are the traits she needs to develop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Nayuta observes how hard Lavi works attending school, studying, handling housework, and fighting witches. Worried she might collapse, Nayuta offers Lavi time off for her upcoming sixteenth birthday and secretly plans a surprise party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later on Lavi&#039;s birthday, Nayuta and Mikage struggle through cleaning the house and preparing a celebration. Their efforts are interrupted when Lavi returns early for lunch, scolds them for the mess, but leaves again at Nayuta&#039;s insistence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Lavi returns that evening, the handmade kusudama falls onto the cake and catches fire. Lavi extinguishes it with water, and Nayuta is left mortified as her surprise party fails spectacularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Nayuta senses lingering coldness from Lavi and struggles to find the right way to apologize. Remembering her father&#039;s example, she decides to catch and cook a fish as an apology gift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day at a fishing center, Nayuta encounters girls from the Tokime clan who teach her how to gut fish. Despite being disturbed by the process, she perseveres and eventually catches the exact fish she wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning home late, Nayuta discovers a threatening letter addressed to Lavi and deduces it must be connected to the serious trouble from Lavi&#039;s hometown. She rushes to the market street with Mikage to protect her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the market street, Nayuta confronts the man speaking with Lavi, declaring herself as Satomi Tasuke&#039;s daughter to intimidate him. The man reveals he is simply a stalker with no connection to Lavi&#039;s past, and when he becomes agitated, Nayuta tackles him unconscious as a crowd applauds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Nayuta presents the cooked fish and apologizes. Lavi admits she was barely angry anymore and thanks Nayuta for protecting her, acknowledging she was just like her father in that moment. Nayuta produces a second kusudama and cake, and this time the celebration succeeds. As they pick confetti from the cake, Lavi quietly says she will continue to admire Nayuta until the final day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune. The Rumor says that if you receive the book and find a drawing of yourself, the sketched event will happen and if you try to stop it, a creature named Ketch drags you into the book. Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Art 02 01 0010 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Art 02 01 0007 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One summer morning, Mitama is at her shop and she has set up a small café corner called Hot☆Corner. The cat, Doyle, is especially attached to her lately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery|The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Rumored Temp Counselor===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

===Always Waving my Hand at You===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Sakuya wakes from another nightmare about the Futatsugi war, where she killed her best friend. She resolves to continue her undercover mission at Iroha&#039;s school and avoid friendships at all costs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Always Waving my Hand at You|Always Waving my Hand at You / I’ll Keep Waving at You]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakuya maintains her isolation at school. After fighting a Witch, she is approached by Ryoko from the Tokime Clan, who persistently tries to befriend her despite Sakuya&#039;s refusal. Ryoko notices Sakuya&#039;s exhaustion and decides something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ryoko tracks Sakuya down at her school, creating a scene about missing shoes that sparks gossip. After learning Sakuya may be engineering her own isolation, Ryoko continues her efforts to help, but Sakuya runs away each time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Ryoko investigates and discovers Sakuya hid her own shoes and started the gossip to isolate herself. Sakuya confesses she killed her best friend in the war and must remain alone to avoid hurting anyone else. Ryoko declares she will save Sakuya by becoming her best friend, and they fight until exhausted. That night, Sakuya dreams of her deceased friend, who thanks her and tells her to move forward. She wakes to find Ryoko collapsed from hunger, and they talk for hours like ordinary friends. Though they agree they cannot meet again until the battles are over, they promise to become true friends then.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the following days, Sakuya returns to normal life by socializing with classmates, sleeping better, and regaining her spirits. Ryoko gains a new goal: to free Sakuya from the things that bind her, once and for all, when the time is right.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls in Kush, who transforms into a vampire and she wins the contest. Natsuki takes second place and Karin takes third place. A commemorative photo is taken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin completes her manga, &amp;quot;The Pumpkin King and the Ghost Servant.&amp;quot; She shows it to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede who praise it, giving it 100 points or more. Kaede appreciates the happy ending. Karin is moved by Kaede&#039;s approval. Manaka arrives with pumpkin pie for a taste test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the Sakae Halloween Festa, Karin arrives at the festival in her Pumpkin King costume. Alina is also present, already dressed as the ghost servant from Karin&#039;s manga. Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head of the executive committee thanks Karin for recommending Alina as the face of the event. Karin reflects on her hope that Alina will one day atone for her sins and reach a happy ending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kamihama Chocolate Girls===&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka, Sunao, and Chiharu look through a Valentine&#039;s Day feature in Kamihama&#039;s free newspaper. Shizuka is embarrassed to see her photo distributed around town, but Chiharu reassures her the photo is cute and the experience gave them a happy memory. They spot a feature on the chocolate shop Shizuka visited and decide to bring all the Tokime girls next time. The newspaper also includes messages from other magical girls offering homemade chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Bittersweet AI Memory#Kamihama Chocolate Girls|Kamihama Chocolate Girls]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage is delighted to see her photo in the newspaper and finds it funny that the article claims she made chocolate with her sister. Mitama suggests it was artistic license. Mikage wonders if she might become famous but worries about sketchy people, and Mitama jokingly offers to beat them up. Mikage asks if they can make real chocolate together, but Mitama needs to go to her coordinator shop. Mikage promises to do things that make her sister smile instead, and Mitama suggests they make Valentine&#039;s chocolate together next year. Mikage eagerly agrees to practice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choc&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Promised Blood&#039;s base, Yuna notices her teammates have been acting strangely, as Sakuya reads romance columns, Juri studies constantly, and Urara stares at Hikaru without speaking. After the meeting, Yuna confides in Hikaru that she feels guilty for not noticing everyone&#039;s exhaustion and decides to solve each person&#039;s problems personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend. Though relieved it&#039;s not her own love life, Yuna insists on helping anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s place, the group brainstorms confession advice. The conversation shifts when Ao receives a text from her parents—she&#039;s been lying to them about her late nights as a magical girl, claiming she&#039;s in an e-sports tournament. To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the online tournament, chaos ensues as Juri attacks teammates, Hikaru sets the kitchen on fire, and Yuna fails at selling merchandise. Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the student council meeting, Yuna honestly requests more time to handle personal matters, promising to dedicate herself fully afterward. The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka-senpai&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Day in the Life of Madoka-senpai===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

==Magia Record Events==&lt;br /&gt;
===See You Tomorrow===&lt;br /&gt;
* One morning at the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira greets an older neighbor who warns her about increasing danger in the area. Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them.

** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sea is a Link Through Time /  The Call of the Open Sea===&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. There&#039;s two different versions at hand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Momoko and Mitama arrive at a resort near a village with a legend about a Diviner who eloped with a sailor and sank with stolen treasure. Mitama reveals they are actually there to hunt for this treasure based on a fairy tale Mikage heard. While exploring the private beach, they encounter Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao from the Tokime Clan, who stumbled there by accident. The group decides to spend the day together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|The Call of the Open Sea]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, they attend a festival in a nearby village that turns out to be a branch of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka learns the villagers consider Diviners a superstition. Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Big Sis, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Felicia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward. Kyubey finds a fuming Felicia, who decides to hire herself out as a mercenary to other magical girls for money or Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Felicia Mitsuki#Side Story|Felicia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia encounters Asuka and Sasara and defeats a witch for them, but they let her keep the Grief Seed and leave without paying, leaving her frustrated. Kako appears, concerned, but Felicia rejects her harshly and immediately regrets it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia helps defeat the witch and collapses from exhaustion, silently vowing to destroy every witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Touka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art. The Amanes are relieved, and Tsukuyo suggests they play their flutes at the shrine on the way home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo thinks the flute&#039;s song has always warmed her heart, while Tsukasa reflects it is a bridge connecting her to her sister. Both affirm that their only allies are each other, and they will always be together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends. Before Hibari&#039;s family moved away, she performed a charm ritual on Aru and promised they would meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message that Hibari is coming to visit Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After some confusion about directions, they reach the arcade where Hibari wins a crane game prize and helps Juri win one too. Hibari suddenly becomes pale and goes to get change, but she does not return. Kagome calls her and Hibari thanks her for being friends before saying goodbye, with an ambulance audible in the background.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome discovers a crowd under a Witch&#039;s Kiss heading toward a rooftop and sends emergency messages to every Magical Girl she knows. Himena&#039;s group arrives to help hold back the crowd, but other girls cannot come due to similar incidents elsewhere. Shizuka finally checks her phone and rushes over with the Tokime Clan just as someone threatens to ignite kerosene. They stop the crowd while Juri and Ao defeat the Witch with Livia&#039;s help. The Witch&#039;s Kiss is lifted and Hibari wakes up confused, with Livia covering that she collapsed from anemia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari admits she felt faint because seeing Kagome surrounded by friends made her happy but also made her feel left behind and alone. Kagome insists Hibari is wrong and promises to come running whenever Hibari is in trouble, asking them to stay best friends forever. Hibari reveals the two wishes she made when they parted came true: that she could speak her mind loudly and that Kagome would make lots of friends. They renew their promise to remain best friends forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari. They bonded over a shared love of &amp;quot;The Adventure of Mandragora.&amp;quot; Hibari gave Kagome a Mandragora plushie named Al-chan and asked to be friends. Kagome learned ventriloquism through Al-chan and grew more confident. The two became inseparable.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kagome&#039;s family moved due to her father&#039;s job transfer, Hibari put a charm on Al-chan with a secret wish. They promised to meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message from Hibari saying she will visit Kamihama. Kagome prepares to show her around.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives in Kamihama. Kagome is happy to see her. They go to the arcade. On the way, they run into Himena and her group. Kagome introduces Hibari. Later, Kagome helps Shizuka, who was lost and struggling with a foreigner. Hibari is impressed by how much Kagome has grown.&lt;br /&gt;

They promise to remain best friends forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

*Day 2 (Flashback)&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna explains that Juri lost to her and her senpai, which is why she joined Torayamachi. The group hunted Kyubey to stop him from recruiting Magical Girls. Kyubey agreed to leave Futatsugi. With Kyubey gone, Witches decreased, creating a Grief Seed shortage. Yuna proposed an expedition to find new territory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri&#039;s stress and anger built up without an outlet. Yuna introduced Juri to a shy but capable girl who admired Juri. The girl agreed to spar with Juri to help her release stress.

* Day 3&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri&#039;s father came home late, discussing his upcoming land deal and boxing match against an old rival. He said he could not ignore past stains and needed to win.

* Day 4&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri struggled at school, frustrated by classmates who avoided conflict and teachers who enabled them. Her anger built up. She reflected on how she became a Magical Girl—she wished for a patient, stout heart to stay in school and not burden her father. The wish gave her patience but did not eliminate her anger; it built up as flames until she exploded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl Yuna introduced continued to spar with Juri. The girl revealed Juri had saved her from a Witch, and she admired Juri. Yuna appeared, and Juri realized Yuna had set up the arrangement to help her release stress. Juri still felt unsatisfied.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 5&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri prepared for their duel. Ryuugasaki and Torayamachi factions learned of the fight and gathered to watch, tensions rising. Juri&#039;s father won his boxing match and land deal. Juri and Yuna fought. Juri screamed that she wanted to fight the Yuna who had defeated her, not her ally. The girl rushed in to stop them. Juri&#039;s attack could not be stopped, and she fatally struck the girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 6&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri was in shock. The factions argued, blaming each other. Juri silenced them, declared she would leave Torayamachi, and announced Ryuugasaki&#039;s independence. She told her followers to follow her. Yuna said she hated Juri. Juri said she had put a nail in Yuna&#039;s coffin and dared her to pry it out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 7 (Present Day)&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri explained the rest of the story to the group. The accident triggered the Blood Tragedy of Futatsugi. Ranka had been exploited by Monzenbashi Bat, and Ao formed Janomiya. Juri reflected that the recent months had been the toughest. She came home late again. Her father asked about her absences. Juri said she was fighting for the future and would explain in a few months. She reflected on how much she and her father were alike, both unable to ignore past stains.

===Shizuka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime trio goes shopping and stops by Emiri’s office, where they meet Hinano and Kanoko. After awkward introductions, Shizuka admits she does not know what a factory is, so Kanoko explains. Emiri asks what country life is like; Chiharu and Sunao give different answers from Shizuka since they are more familiar with modern living. They mention meeting only recently, surprising Emiri. Shizuka proudly explains they are bound by their duty to protect Japan, and Emiri says, “As long as you have no regrets, it’s okay.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The comment makes Shizuka pause, because she never considered regrets; she had eagerly accepted her wish to break an economic agreement without understanding it, trusting it was for Japan’s good. After thinking it over, she searches for information with help from others, but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hinano explains that because the agreement fell through, local manufacturers like Kanoko’s father stayed in business, so there was little news. Chiharu and Sunao arrange a meeting at the factory and bring Shizuka. Kanoko’s father tells Shizuka his factory would have failed otherwise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Shigure and Hagumu grow close but quickly become jaded. Their families and classmates resent their constant lateness, which comes from Magius work no one can know about.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Hagumu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hagumu reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. After Walpurgisnacht, the organization dissolved, and many former Feathers joined the Kamihama Magia Union. Hagumu is uncertain, as she believes in Magical Girl Supremacy and cannot accept the Union&#039;s ideology of liberation without sacrifice. Shigure contacts her, asking to meet and talk. Shigure wants to convince Touka and Nemu to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Hagumu is conflicted—she cannot trust the Magius after being exploited, but she also cannot decide what to do. She asks for time to think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hagumu Azumi#Side Story|Hagumu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu meets Maria, a former Magius member who joined the Union. Maria notices Hagumu looks unwell and offers to listen. Hagumu explains her dilemma: she cannot agree with the Union&#039;s ideology, but she also cannot follow Shigure&#039;s plan. Maria suggests Hagumu ask other Magical Girls how they decided. Hagumu recalls her wish was made in haste to save a woman under a Witch&#039;s Kiss, and she regrets not choosing a better wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Moka why she joined the Union. Moka says she joined because she was invited and everyone is kind. Hagumu sees Moka is honest and never doubts people, which is why everyone supports her. Hagumu realizes they are completely different—Moka has people who protect her, while Hagumu feels she has nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Yukika, a former Black Feather, why she declined the Union. Yukika says she did not want to drag others into trouble. Hagumu sees Yukika has strong convictions and follows them, unlike herself. Hagumu feels more discouraged.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches. Hagumu is moved but asks for more time to discuss it with Shigure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hagumu senses a Witch and goes to help. She sees Riko, an elementary schooler, defeating the Witch on her own.

She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Miyuri&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena, Alexandra, Hagumu, and Shigure watch as San stretches Miyuri. Miyuri&#039;s loud reactions draw attention. Himena asks about Miyuri&#039;s inline skating. Miyuri explains she started skating as a child because she was bad at running and her parents bought her skates. She fell in love with the feeling of cutting through the wind and quickly improved, eventually competing in freestyle competitions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Miyuri Yukari#Side Story|Miyuri&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s social anxiety worsened. She began experiencing panic attacks at competitions and could no longer compete. Her parents signed her up with the Hikarizuka Youth Association to help her interact with people. There, she met San for the first time. San invited her to dance practice. Miyuri fainted from overexcitement while watching San&#039;s legs. She realized she had a leg fetish and that it triggered her anxiety. She began avoiding San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s skating practice suffered. Her mother suggested she visit the Community Center. Miyuri avoided San again and went outside to practice skating alone at night. She felt free and happy while skating. San saw her dancing in the moonlight and was mesmerized. San decided she wanted to help Miyuri grow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish. San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri learned her new power shortened her experience of anxiety. She became more confident but still fainted easily. She fought Witches alone, often blacking out and going berserk.

San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training. Touka and Nemu suggested San should train Miyuri since she could still hear San&#039;s voice when unconscious. San agreed and became Miyuri&#039;s instructor. Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Her wish saved the field and gave hope to others. She admits her improved health was partly due to becoming a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The meal is delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After making the newspaper, Nayuta and Mikage fall asleep. Lavi reflects on her past. She reveals that she never found joy in living despite her family&#039;s efforts. Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true. She asks for a little more time in her beloved daily life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The Tokime Tribe holds a celebration to welcome Asahi. During introductions, Chiharu rambles excitedly about her favorite shows, and Asahi finds herself intrigued. When pressed to share more about herself, Asahi talks about hunting and the importance of minimizing suffering. That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun. Everyone apologizes, and they end the day with a shared dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She organizes a surprise birthday party for him with her classmates. He is genuinely happy and thanks her. He realizes she planned it. She tells him all the students respect him. He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra continues her jokes and attempts to get closer to the teacher. She jokes about marriage and asks for a date on the school trip. He unexpectedly agrees to go shopping with her for a few minutes. She hugs him in excitement. A classmate spots them on the rooftop. Rumors spread quickly. The principal calls the teacher in. He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra cannot wake up from the dream. She imagines the teacher scolding her for playing with his feelings. She decides she needs to apologize in real life. She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love. She tells him her feelings were not a deception—they were true love. She thanks him for a wonderful time and says she now only places her faith in Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Urara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara volunteers to do grocery shopping for Lavi. At the supermarket, she gets distracted by flash sales and buys beef, bean sprouts, and curry ingredients. She forgets Lavi&#039;s shopping list. Lavi forgives her but asks her to be more self-controlled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Urara Yume#Side Story|Urara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Urara and Lavi travel to Yukuni. Urara loses her wallet, but Lavi finds it. At the agency, Urara&#039;s manager asks her to coach a children&#039;s diabolo class as a final job. Urara accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the diabolo class, Urara teaches the class alone. Some children struggle to follow her teaching style. Lavi, Alexandra, and Asahi watch from a distance. During lunch, Urara admits she cannot explain techniques well. Lavi analyzes the wrist angles and timing, and the others offer to help. The class is a success.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Urara feels inadequate and misses her former partner, Kurara. She remembers Kurara was better at teaching. Lavi notices Urara is depressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At the agency, Urara confronts Kurara. Kurara reveals she always resented being compared to Urara&#039;s natural talent and felt like &amp;quot;Not-Urara.&amp;quot; She says breaking up the duo was for the best and asks Urara to stop involving herself. Urara is devastated. She returns to Kamihama and cries to Lavi, who comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Urara receives a message from her manager. A girl named Rei from the diabolo class wants more lessons. Urara agrees to meet her. Rei wants to learn the &amp;quot;Urara Special&amp;quot; to beat a prodigy her age. Urara remembers how she unknowingly hurt Kurara by copying her tricks too easily. She decides to coach Rei properly. Lavi offers to stay and help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Nayuta&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta dreams of proving folkloric studies superior to Touka, but Lavi wakes her with obnoxious humming. Lavi scolds her for being a deep sleeper and rushes her to school in Takarazaki City, where Nayuta complains that Lavi acts like a stern stepmother rather than a kind maid her age.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In class, a self‑assessment exercise has Nayuta describe herself as quiet and diligent, but her peers call her stubborn, someone who hates losing and speaks her mind. She reluctantly accepts “stubborn” fits her persistent search for her father. The teacher introduces the Johari Window, explaining that without communication people understand themselves at most fifty percent and others only twenty‑five percent—a lesson that sticks with Nayuta.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Nayuta meets Iroha at the train station. Both are surprised the other remembers them. They discover they are the same grade and both hail from Takarazaki, and Iroha mentions she also searched for a lost loved one. Nayuta requests to see Yachiyo, apologizing for her bluntness. Iroha reassures her, noting they are both stubborn junior‑high girls from Takarazaki who came to Kamihama to find someone important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Yachiyo has no new information about Nayuta’s father. Tsuruno has Nayuta show a photo, but no one recognizes him. Felicia suggests Nayuta simply ask Touka, since she also grew up at Satomi Medical Center. Nayuta refuses, saying she cannot trust Touka, and apologizes for her stubbornness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Nayuta admits to Lavi she slept poorly because she cannot stop thinking about Touka. Mikage arrives, upset after a fight with Sudachi: Mikage complained about school, Sudachi said she envied Mikage for being able to attend, and they argued over whose position was harder.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home. Lavi approves of her standing her ground, and Nayuta realizes she and Lavi are more alike than she thought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Himika tells her about Emiri’s counseling center, so they go there together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the center, Emiri, Sasara, Asuka, and Kanoko are delighted to meet Mitama’s little sister. Mikage explains she is looking for a friend, but Emiri points out they are already her friends. After some banter about fashion, Mikage tries on Kanoko’s outfits and has a wonderful time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mikage wonders if the older girls truly see her as a friend or just as a kid. Himika suggests she meet girls her own age like Ui, Touka, and Nemu, though Mikage is uncertain about befriending the geniuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When she returns home, Mitama warns her that Ui has been kidnapped by Promised Blood and forbids Mikage from associating with the Kamihama Magia Union. Mikage reluctantly agrees but is frustrated her efforts to make friends have been stopped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama leaves for work and Mikage accuses her of hypocrisy—Mitama can spend time with the KMU while Mikage cannot. She runs out, declaring she will find a new big sister. She finds Emiri’s office closed but runs into Rika and Ren, who quickly realize she is Mitama’s sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Mikage bond over fashion and go to some cheap stores, where Mikage realizes she left her wallet. They play a crane game instead, and Rika wins stuffed animals for Ren and Mikage. Mikage asks Rika to be her big sister; Rika declines but encourages her to talk to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory. Kanoko lets her help make a pendant, but before Mikage can convince her to become her sister, Mitama arrives and drags her home. Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any. Later, she finds Mitama has made all her favorite foods, and they reconcile off‑screen; Mikage gives Mitama the pendant she made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage declares she will not give up on making Kamihama Magia Union friends. She then decides that since Lavi and Nayuta are older, they can be her big sisters instead. They exchange a look and agree to treat her for one day. Mikage expresses her hope that someday she and Sudachi can play with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited again. She jokes about the visitor&#039;s persistence. Yozuru and Sudachi return from stocking up on essentials. Sudachi trips, and Yozuru hesitates to help. Livia instructs Yozuru to help Sudachi stand and dust her off. Yozuru apologizes and explains she is not equipped with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the trailer, Yozuru offers tea. Sudachi wants teacakes. Livia allows them to have some as a treat. Livia reflects that she needs to help the girls mature. Yozuru has lost compassion, while Sudachi needs to find her words. Livia believes they will complement each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is found sleeping and crying. Yozuru gives her a handkerchief. Livia says crying in sleep happens occasionally and is common among Coordinators. She thanks Sudachi for finding her dropped ring. Sudachi sulks when Livia refuses to give her sweets as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the ring is a treasure and a way of reprimanding herself. It is the reason she lives for &amp;quot;Mister Sun.&amp;quot; She says she may tell the full story another time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia shares her philosophy: no matter how awful life is, do not drift in a bad direction or relieve resentment with a curse. Magical Girls are born from hope and must overcome struggles with hope. She warns against corrupting purity and urges supporting those with pure hearts. She says she has said enough for now and will share the rest when she is ready. She asks the visitor to promise to live strong, face forward, and not end up like her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This is also belonging to the anime partly. Write the main part on the magia record and then the second part on the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices. Kyubey, whom she calls a talking cat, keeps urging her to make a contract, but she does not know what to wish for—though she finds herself wishing God could speak to humans like Kyubey does.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the boy reads the fairy tale Kuroe recommended. He questions a detail in the story, but Kuroe simply accepts it because the writer says so. He jokes that he feels alive because Kuroe thinks so deeply, meaning it as a compliment. Later a teacher asks about her high school plans; Kuroe claims she has decided, but she is merely following her family’s expectations and secretly does not want to go to high school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe dreams of Iroha, though she cannot understand her words. Her Doppel reflects that her contract gave her affirmation of existence, yet she still does not feel like anyone - she simply adapts to whatever situation she is in, resented by no one and dependent on no one, but still wondering who she should be.

Kuroe wakes up wondering why she dreamed of the camping trip, and she calls Iroha, deciding she wants to connect with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroeds&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Doppel Story|Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sasara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara is taken hostage at knifepoint in a convenience store. Despite her desire to be a knight, she is too terrified to act. Though the police arrest the criminal and she is safe, Sasara feels ashamed and hates herself for her cowardice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sasara Minagi#Side Story|Sasara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sasara meets Kyubey and when he makes his offer, Sasara accepts without hesitation. As her father works for an emergency rescue squad, a job she admires, he gave her a favorite picture book about a knight who defeats a dragon to save a village. Sasara carries this book everywhere and has always wanted to be like her father and the knight. She wishes to become a knight who can protect and save people, asking for a stronger heart and stronger convictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Sasara has been hunting witches and saving their victims ever since making her contract. She calls herself the Knight who protects the people of Kamihama, but over time her feelings become tainted. The people she rescues never remember what happened and do not acknowledge her. Sasara realizes she wants someone to appreciate her and questions whether she really wanted to become a knight at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book. She thought she could accept the people she helped not talking to her, but now it feels like she does not even exist. When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nanaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Needs to be re-checked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako to ask for their help fighting a witch they all share a connection to. To explain why she needs them, Nanaka tells them how she became a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka&#039;s father headed a traditional Japanese flower arranging school, but when he fell ill, senior students took over and grew the school&#039;s popularity while abandoning its traditions, shutting out Nanaka&#039;s family entirely. On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform. She decided to lay the Soul Gem with its owner&#039;s body, and when she placed the gem in the girl&#039;s hands, the girl began breathing again. Later, Kyubey explained that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Kyubey asks if Nanaka will tell the others this secret, but she says she is waiting for the right moment. Nanaka then reflects that her true revenge target is actually Kyubey himself. Her power makes it clear he is her enemy, though she does not know all the details, and she is waiting for the right time to turn against him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Nanaka&#039;s team is still unable to find the witch. Akira reports meeting a magical girl mercenary. As the girls plan their next move, Nanaka muses about how she is gathering the determination of magical girls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuku enjoys time with her friends but feels disconnected from them and uncertain about her future. She finds comfort in Fūnī, a traveler who visits her family&#039;s cafe and shares his dream of finding a place to belong. When he invites her to search with him, she feels hopeful that she will not be alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She stays for dinner and overnight, observing how the five girls live together like a family. Yachiyo invites her to stay as long as she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku realizes the other girls have found their place to belong, but she understands that her own place was with Fūnī. She cries as his last words finally make sense to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, Shizuku ends her arrangement with the unknown magical girl and returns to Yachiyo&#039;s house, hoping she can stay there. When she arrives, the house is empty, and she sees the personal items that mark each girl&#039;s place. Overhearing them return, she realizes their home is complete with five people and she does not belong there. She leaves quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and the others had prepared a welcome party with cake, but Shizuku never comes. Yachiyo senses that Shizuku might disappear if you look away and admits she should have seen this coming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku returns to the unknown magical girl and asks for more work. When asked why she came back, she says their picture was complete with five people and she must keep searching for where she belongs. She mentally apologizes to Yachiyo, knowing her actions will cause disaster but feeling unprepared to take responsibility. She wonders if she will ever find solid ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Akira wakes from a dream about being attacked by a familiar and finds Sasara Minagi nearby, who is out for a walk. Sasara offers to help Akira search for an old man&#039;s lost cane, recalling she saw children playing with a red cane, and the two head off together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akira Shinobu#Side Story|Akira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** When Akira started middle school, a girl asked her to be a bodyguard against a stalker. The girl brought her to a park, confessed her love, and admitted to lying about the stalker. Akira politely rejected her, saying she didn&#039;t know much about that sort of thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The day Akira found the barrier, she retraced the girl&#039;s steps in the park and stepped into a witch&#039;s labyrinth. She found the missing girl among blank-faced victims marked by a Witch&#039;s Kiss.

** A few days later, Nanaka called asking for a favor. When they met again, Nanaka requested a duel, claiming Akira was weak and should quit hunting witches. Akira refused, citing her family&#039;s dojo, and they dueled. After some fighting, Nanaka ended the duel and apologized. She explained she wanted to test Akira&#039;s resolve and invited her to work together as a team. Akira relented after Nanaka claimed she was troubled and couldn&#039;t fight witches alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After contracts of: Kako, Manaka&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A documentary crew follows Ria Ami, whose natural beauty causes crowds to part, though she admits she has no basis for comparison when asked about her challenges. Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ria asks Manaka to be her bodyguard while buying the magazine featuring her article, wearing sunglasses to avoid being seen. Inside, she discovers her article occupies only one page, while Yachiyo has an eight-page spread. Furious and convinced Yachiyo did it on purpose, Ria tears the magazine in half, and the clerk charges her for it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;riass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ria Ami#Side Story|Ria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Though Manaka initially resists, Ria suggests letting her try. &amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsumugi Wakana#Side Story|Tsumugi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, Tsumugi shows her reviews receive mixed responses, with some accusing her of exaggeration. She asks Ria for help, explaining that many favorite restaurants from her childhood closed due to low clientele. As Tsumugi enthusiastically describes food, Ria realizes she has potential as a critic and proposes a strategy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Tsumugi has been training with Ria&#039;s help, visiting different restaurants and improving her reviews. Her blog has gained more followers. Meanwhile, Manaka feels she hasn&#039;t reached her father&#039;s level as a chef but refuses to discuss it, insisting a chef cannot ask a diner for advice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and Ria eat at Walnuts. Manaka is surprised by Tsumugi&#039;s improved reviews and lifts any implied ban. Tsumugi wants to fill Walnuts with people, but Manaka says she prefers just Tsumugi coming to enjoy her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi proposes promotional ideas to help Walnuts, including using Ria&#039;s modeling. Ria agrees, and Manaka will seek her father&#039;s approval.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they organize &amp;quot;The Rice Omelette Festival&amp;quot; at Walnuts. No customers arrive for the first half hour. Customers eventually come, but they are from Ria&#039;s advertising. Tsumugi becomes sad, feeling she is not as strong as Ria.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the event, Tsumugi cries and confesses disappointment that none of her followers came, feeling she is just an average student with no unique qualities. Ria encourages her not to let failure discourage her, insisting she has talent. Tsumugi decides to make a contract with Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Manaka and Ria fight familiars in a witch&#039;s barrier. Tsumugi suddenly appears and uses her new magic to consume a familiar&#039;s attack, gaining power from it. The three defeat the witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Walnuts afterward, Tsumugi honestly criticizes Manaka&#039;s omelette, explaining her wish now forces her to tell the truth about food. In a flashback, she wished to help Manaka by learning what she could do. She realized she needed to give objective criticism to truly help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Tsumugi helps Manaka close Walnuts. She notices Manaka changed the recipe based on her feedback. Manaka appreciates Tsumugi&#039;s constructive criticism and asks her to continue eating her food so she can become a better chef. Tsumugi excitedly agrees, happy she can eat Manaka&#039;s delicious food every day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ren&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren stands on a rooftop, contemplating suicide. Kyubey warns her that if she repeats her previous actions, her Soul Gem will be destroyed. Ren understands. She thinks about how people have always said hurtful things and believes she cannot live in such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nearby, Rika defeats a Witch and sees Ren about to jump. She saves her and asks why she wants to die. Ren cannot answer. She reflects on her childhood: she has always had trouble speaking and was teased and bullied for it. She attempted suicide once before but was scared of dying. Kyubey appeared and granted her wish to live.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explained that the bullying was caused by a Witch&#039;s influence—Witches hurt people, who then hurt others. Ren resolved to destroy Witches to create a better world. However, no matter how many Witches she defeated, people still acted cruelly. Kyubey told her that even destroying all Witches would not remove malice from people&#039;s hearts. This is why Ren wanted to die again, but she cannot explain any of this to Rika.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika takes Ren to meet other Magical Girls. At Emiri&#039;s Trouble Consultation Office, Ren meets Akira but cannot introduce herself and nearly cries. Emiri brings her to Ria, who gives her hand cream, and Konomi, who gives her chamomile tea. Rika then takes Ren to the chemistry club, where Hinano gives her candy instead of medicine. They visit Kanoko at her family&#039;s metal factory, where Kanoko shows a dress she designed with mushroom motifs and gives Ren accessories made of metal sheets. Emiri leaves, and Rika admits she never actually listened to Ren&#039;s problem.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika shares her own story: she wished for someone she loved to love her back, even though that person already liked someone else. She says she stole that love with a selfish wish and asks Ren if she thinks she is a horrible person. Ren manages to say she does not think so. Rika is relieved. She explains that to get others to open up, you must share the secrets that create distance.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren tries to tell her story but cannot get the words out and begins crying. Rika tells her not to force herself. She shows Ren all the gifts she received from the others and says that if all these people were thinking about her, she should continue to live. She says the world is filled with both bad and beautiful things, and the most painful thing is to have nothing. Ren says she will live. Rika leaves, and Ren thanks her. Ren thinks that if Rika can accept her story, she will be able to live forever.&lt;br /&gt;

===Konoha&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoha manages the finances and makes decisions for Hazuki and Ayame. When Hazuki calls to say she&#039;s stuck at meetings and suggests take-out, Konoha decides to cook instead to save money. Despite Hazuki&#039;s warnings, Ayame tries Konoha&#039;s cooking. Later, Hazuki returns to find Ayame sick; Konoha learns Ayame was too polite to refuse the food. Hazuki offers to handle meals from now on, which prompts Konoha to resolve that she will learn to make delicious food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konoha Shizumi#Side Story|Konoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha buys cookware and studies cooking theory, suspecting Hazuki might be a cooking prodigy. She makes a disastrous meal incorporating everything she read, and Hazuki collapses after tasting it. Ayame brings home a flyer for a cooking class at &amp;quot;Youshoku Walnuts,&amp;quot; noting that the food there made Hazuki cry. Ayame encourages Konoha, and Konoha resolves to take the class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Konoha meets the teacher, Manaka Kurumi, at the restaurant. Manaka attempts to teach knife skills and how to crack eggs, but Konoha struggles with both. Manaka promises to help her improve. She has Konoha make practice dishes, but Konoha burns oil, over-dashes rice, and explodes miso soup, so Manaka has to take over each time. When finished, Manaka tastes it, insists it&#039;s good to protect her reputation, eats it all, and passes out. Konoha tries the leftovers and confirms it is truly terrible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha hunts a witch with her team while distracted by thoughts about cooking. After they defeat it, Himika Mao arrives late, introduces herself, and asks if they are sisters; Hazuki explains they are not. Himika mentions she is thirteen with five younger siblings. When Ayame asks about being an older sister, Himika invites her to meet her family. Konoha asks to come as Ayame&#039;s guardian upon learning Himika cooks for her family, and Himika accepts. Hazuki says she will prepare dinner at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, at Himika&#039;s house, Konoha and Ayame observe the cramped living space. Himika explains she uses cheap leftover meat blends from a disposal man to feed her family. She serves dinner, and all her siblings along with Ayame eat. When Konoha asks if the food is tasty, the siblings say they never think it&#039;s bad because Himika does her best. Konoha reflects on Azalea&#039;s House and realizes she was too focused on theory rather than on who she was cooking for. She thanks Himika and leaves with Ayame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, Ayame and Hazuki find Konoha cooking again. Konoha promises to give up if she fails this time. Focusing on her feelings rather than theory, she makes a meal from Azalea&#039;s. Hazuki and Ayame try it and say it&#039;s bad, but it&#039;s edible. Konoha is excited that someone could actually eat her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ayame returns home to find Konoha cooking again. Hazuki observes that Konoha has found joy in the act of cooking. Konoha narrates that she learned cooking is about heart, and could now make food people could finish. She thinks cooking is fun, though Ayame and Hazuki sometimes scream loud enough to startle the neighbors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Konoha attempts beef stroganoff, a dish Hazuki admits is difficult. Hazuki and Ayame try it and collapse. Konoha says she will redo it. She narrates that experience matters, and wonders what to try next.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hazuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame meet with Nanaka, Meiyui, Akira, and Kako at a restaurant to discuss how to handle situations where both teams target the same Witch. Meiyui proposes a first-come, first-served rule, but Hazuki points out it would lead to disputes over who arrived first. Ayame suggests settling conflicts with rock-paper-scissors, and though Meiyui argues there&#039;s no time for games in battle, Hazuki has them try it on the spot. When Ayame and Meiyui play, Meiyui uses a martial arts technique to change Ayame&#039;s hand, causing an argument between the groups. Hazuki calms everyone down and suggests they go home for the day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hazuki Yusa#Side Story|Hazuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls reconvene at the restaurant. Hazuki proposes a new rule: anyone who uses magic against a Witch gains proportional rights to the Grief Seed. Both teams agree, and Hazuki suggests they gather data by hunting together. They split into mixed teams—Ayame and Kako form one; Hazuki, Akira, and Meiyui another and Konoha and Nanaka stand by to help as needed. After the successful joint hunt, Nanaka meets with Hazuki alone at the restaurant. She reveals she believes Hazuki manipulated the entire situation from the first meeting, noting that her team was impressed with Hazuki&#039;s group&#039;s teamwork but that she herself was more struck by Hazuki&#039;s modus operandi. Nanaka asks why Hazuki orchestrated everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki admits she wanted Konoha, who is introverted, to connect with others and that after the Witch fight, Konoha seemed genuinely happy. She explains her goal was simply to build connections between her group and other Kamihama Magical Girls. Nanaka accepts this and says she&#039;s glad to work with her. Later, Hazuki writes in her notebook that Nanaka is shrewd but fascinating, and she resolves to continue reaching out to other Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ayame&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame encounters Felicia during a Witch fight, and their rivalry quickly escalates when Felicia dismisses Ayame&#039;s challenge to lead the girls to argue and accidentally let the Witch escape. Frustrated by losing to Felicia specifically, Ayame confronts her afterward, and despite Kako&#039;s attempts to mediate, the two insist on settling things through some competition. Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch. Emerging back in the park, Felicia thanks Ayame, and they realize the race was never finished. They resume, but Ayame admits she&#039;s fine with not winning and she has come to accept Felicia as a strong rival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ayamess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ayame Mikuri#Side Story|Ayame&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Masara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro gives Masara cookies simply because she wants to, leaving Masara confused by the gesture. Masara flashes back to their first meeting, when Kokoro had blamed herself for being unable to protect others and Masara told her she should not carry that guilt. Kokoro had asked to stay by Masara&#039;s side, explaining that those words had saved her. In the present, Kokoro asks what Masara is thinking about, and when Masara admits she was remembering their first meeting, Kokoro smiles. Masara does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Masara Kagami#Side Story|Masara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara visits Mitama for magical strengthening, bringing many Grief Seeds with her. Mitama notes her unusual enthusiasm, and Masara explains she wants to get stronger in order to find something that might change her life. Mitama suggests she try attending a summer festival and hands her a flyer, but Masara shows no interest. When Mitama brings up Kokoro, mentioning that Kokoro has talked about her, Masara insists they are merely working together, not friends, and finds Kokoro&#039;s expectations troublesome. Mitama claims Masara is actually worried about Kokoro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara reflects on her childhood, remembering how her parents had her swim from a young age. Despite showing talent, she never felt any joy or sense of accomplishment, though she continued hoping it might eventually change. It never did. She became a magical girl thinking her dull life might finally become interesting, but even that eventually grew boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead. The Witch targets Kokoro, and Masara injures herself by blocking the attack. The Witch escapes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro apologizes, but Masara claims she only did what was most logical, since the Witch could not have been defeated alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Masara keeps flashing back to the moment the Witch attacked Kokoro whenever she looks at her injury. The recurring memory bothers her, though she does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Kokoro offers to hunt the Witch again with Masara. Masara flashes back to the previous fight and insists she will hunt it alone. She tells Kokoro she is a burden and that she does not like getting hurt. Masara leaves Kokoro crying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara tells Mitama what happened. Mitama suggests Masara was actually trying to protect Kokoro. Masara is at a loss and wonders why being around Kokoro causes her to get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro blames herself for causing Masara trouble. She senses the same Witch and, respecting Masara&#039;s wish to hunt alone, decides to fight it by herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help. Masara agrees and tells Kokoro to call her next time. When Kokoro worries about causing trouble, Masara insists she is doing it for herself, because she does not like seeing Kokoro get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro asks if she can call Masara during lunch. Masara says she does not care either way. The two go to Mitama&#039;s place together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro notices the summer festival flyer and asks if Masara is interested. Masara admits she is a little interested. Mitama laughs and says they can look forward to the future when there is something or someone important. Kokoro and Masara are confused by her comment, which exasperates Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Konomi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi welcomes Kaede and Kako to the flower shop where she works part-time. She began working at Blossom because the florist once comforted her as a crying child with a single flower, and now Konomi does the same for other children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konomi Haruna#Side Story|Konomi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a customer leaves, Kaede and Kako help the florist carry supplies. The florist recently returned from the hospital, having survived a serious illness.

Desperate to help, she wished to Kyubey to cure the florist&#039;s illness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;!--The Flashback: Their First Meeting--&amp;gt;Kaede and Kako visit the shop for the first time. Kako searches for a specific flower, which Konomi identifies. During tea break, Kako explains she read about the flowers in a novel and wants to buy some for a friend&#039;s birthday. Kaede admits she has never given flowers but receiving them once felt wonderful. Konomi smiles and says she has an idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of the flower giveaway, Konomi, Kaede, and Kako take to the streets, suddenly appearing to hand bouquets to strangers before disappearing. A lottery winner, a despairing old man, and a boy who just got a girl&#039;s number all receive flowers. Later, the girls reunite. Kaede gave to ten people, Kako to thirteen. Konomi apologizes, but they agree to try again the day after tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Konomi, Kaede, and Kako realize they are the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi panics, fearing they have made people hate flowers. They notice a little girl crying because her mother refused to buy her a toy ring. Konomi offers a flower, but the girl wants a ring. Kako fashions the flower into a ring, and the girl calls it pretty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi realizes they have been giving flowers without understanding what recipients truly want. She decides to create something more meaningful. Inspired by Kaede&#039;s mention of birthday flowers and Kako&#039;s knowledge of flower language, they plan an arrangement that speaks to people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They prepare a fair at the shop to showcase it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi shows the cake to the florist, who gives a muted reaction and announces her retirement, planning to leave Konomi the shop.

===Rika&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Hinano, Emiri, Ria, Manaka, Akira&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Rika is invited to a blind date by Emiri Kisaki, who brings along Hinano Miyako, a girl recently heartbroken. When the boys on the date mock Hinano&#039;s youthful appearance and odd way of speaking, Rika surprises her by defending them. Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her. Emiri and Rika quickly reassure Hinano, with Rika adding that Hinano is actually cool for having been able to confess her feelings—unlike Rika, who never confessed at all and watched her crush end up with someone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri then suggests Rika should make a wish, revealing that she and Hinano are magical girls who each received one wish in exchange for fighting monsters. Rika wonders if this is some kind of game. Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika muses that her wish was granted and she is now dating her crush, yet she feels deeply unhappy. When Kyubey asks what is wrong, she admits that every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens with unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mayu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mayu is a third-year student at Mizuna Academy who works part-time at the Kamihama Contemporary Art Museum. When she accidentally breaks the museum director&#039;s cup, her boss handles the situation calmly and kindly. After work, she meets her friend Sayuki Fumino outside the museum, and when Sayuki cannot stay, Mayu&#039;s boss offers to accompany her to an exhibit instead. They later go to a cafe, where Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi are also present. Ria grows increasingly annoyed overhearing Mayu&#039;s conversation with her boss, particularly when he hints at wanting to take her somewhere else and praises her cooking. At home that evening, Mayu cooks for her mother and asks if her father would have eaten her cooking, wondering what life would be like if he were still alive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayu Kozue#Side Story|Mayu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at school, Mayu talks with Sayuki about the sword exhibit. She then heads to work, and after her shift ends, her boss mentions his wife and child are away and invites her out to eat. Mayu declines. As she leaves, she forgets her phone, and her boss rushes to return it, asking again about dinner with growing intensity. Ria suddenly appears and bumps into him, yelling at them for flirting and demanding they sit for a lecture. Mayu&#039;s boss says she ruined it and leaves. Ria warns Mayu that her sweet, innocent air attracts older men and that if things continue, his family will fall apart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home that night, Mayu reflects on the day she learned of her father&#039;s death and on Ria&#039;s words. Kyubey appears and offers a contract. Thinking she does not want her boss&#039;s family to suffer the same hardship her family did, Mayu makes her wish: to stop his family from breaking apart. That night, she narrates that her boss transferred to a new job, and she is sure her wish was granted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later at school, Mayu finds boys have started hitting on her. Ria constantly steps in to drive them off. Before Ria can finish telling Mayu to shape up, they both sense a Witch. The girls reveal they are Magical Girls, and they track the Witch to the museum&#039;s special exhibit room. Sayuki suddenly appears and reveals she is also a Magical Girl. During the fight, Mayu notices the Witch only targets Ria. She asks Sayuki to lend her strength and launches a surprise attack, destroying the Witch. Afterward, Mayu thinks that to protect people she must think clearly before acting, and Ria admits Mayu was more reliable than usual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As a child, Sayuki attends an idol performance with her parents, but when the crowd becomes dangerously wild, she is almost squeezed to death, leaving her with lasting trauma.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayuki Fumino#Side Story|Sayuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Growing up in a happy family, Sayuki develops a deep interest in katanas that creates a gap between her and her classmates. Though they respect her passion, she feels lonely without someone to share it with. This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert. Sayuki believes speaking out is important no matter the outcome and swears to protect the kind people who have been kind to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka. Moka thanks Alina for saving her and says she has now made new friends, resolving to devote herself to exterminating witches and admitting she is only a little afraid of them now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Riko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Sis = Miss K. Check what Exedra says&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Years ago, Riko spent her childhood with a cheerful older neighbor girl she called &amp;quot;Sis&amp;quot; while her parents worked long hours at their family bento shop. They grew as close as sisters until Sis became engaged to marry someone far away. When Sis&#039;s father suddenly opposed the match despite approving it before, Riko wished upon Kyubey that everyone would give their blessings to the marriage. Her wish worked, and Sis moved away happily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Riko Chiaki#Side Story|Riko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Riko struggles with loneliness waiting alone at home while her parents work overtime. One night, after they call to say they cannot return until after midnight due to a huge order, years of broken promises finally overwhelm her. She snaps, calls them liars who were never there for her like Sis was, and tells them she hates them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko goes Witch hunting to vent her stress but nearly dies against a stronger Witch. In that moment, despair crushes her and she wishes she had never made her wish so Sis would still be there. Tsukasa, a regular at her family&#039;s shop, finds her crying and listens as Riko confides everything about her feelings and what happened with Sis. Speaking from experience, Tsukasa tells her that separation is no excuse for broken contact and recommends she reach out to Sis directly. Riko messages Sis that night before falling asleep exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sis replies promptly. She explains she wanted to contact Riko but left home after arguing with her father and thought a visit would be awkward. She also reveals she was hospitalized to give birth and only discharged that day, inviting Riko to come see her instead. When Riko asks her parents for permission, expecting them to refuse, they apologize sincerely and grant permission for the trip.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Riko visits Sis with her parents. Sis introduces her husband and newborn daughter, hoping Riko will get along with her child just as they once got along. Riko makes a silent promise to be a good sister to this baby and aims to grow into a fine lady, just like Sis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maria&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Maria bids her parents goodbye for the day. Her mother gives her money for dinner, which Maria insists on keeping only a small portion of, and Maria mentions she will be at her part‑time daycare job after school. On her way to school, she runs into two little girls, one of whom attends the daycare where she works.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the daycare, the children swarm Maria with requests. She notices a boy named Shin‑kun looking down and tries to find out what is wrong, but he does not want to talk. Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work. Maria suggests she spend a day with Shin to reconnect, and Shin’s mother agrees. Maria promises to put together a plan by the weekend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Maria’s classmates tease her about being a widow with a love child, and she plays along before explaining she is helping a mother and son from the daycare. Later she presents her weekend plans to Shin’s mother, who is impressed and begins looking forward to the outing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, Maria goes to the park where she knows Shin and his mother should be. She watches as they struggle to connect: Shin wants to play in a fountain, but his mother cannot explain why he should not, and they end up standing awkwardly. Maria pretends to run into them and decides to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to the playground, where Maria encourages Shin to try a tightrope bridge. When he gets nervous, she prompts his mother to take his hand, and together they cross. After lunch, Shin’s mother gets a call from work asking her to come in on her day off. She agrees, and Shin looks heartbroken. Maria offers to watch Shin until dark, and his mother gratefully accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria takes Shin to various places, and he sadly remarks that his mother is too busy for him. Understanding his loneliness, Maria vows to make the day special. At the aquarium she convinces him to see a show he ends up loving. As evening falls, they stop for takoyaki, and Maria explains that his mother tells him not to eat while walking for good reasons. Shin finally understands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shin’s mother appears, explaining work no longer needs her. She admits she has trouble expressing herself, but Shin overhears and hugs her. They both confess they thought the other did not love them. Maria shares that she was often lonely as a child but still loved her parents, and she tells Shin’s mother she does not need to be perfect. Shin shows his mother the souvenir and the last piece of takoyaki he saved for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As darkness falls, Maria walks home alone. She reflects on whether she could ever be a good mother, remembering Kyubey’s revelation that her Soul Gem is her actual soul and her body is merely a vessel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mel&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mel stays home after her reading warns of lethal danger, but Kanagi dismisses her concerns and drags her to school anyway. On the way, a Witch targets only Mel before escaping, and a possessed car then attempts to run her down. She flees west into the Mizuno region, where Yachiyo saves her. Despite Kanagi&#039;s warnings about discrimination from the West, Yachiyo&#039;s kindness puts her at ease, and Mel accepts her invitation to stay. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she requests to join Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kanagi gives permission. From that day, Mel bonds with Mifuyu, Tsuruno, and Momoko as part of her new team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Despite Yachiyo&#039;s skepticism, Mel coaxes her into a session predicting a career breakthrough.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mifuyu and Momoko then receive positive readings about a matchmaking and exam results.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes.

** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Several days later, the girls are enjoying their club activities, yet Temari still feels unsettled about not knowing her magic. Mikura reflects that they have been following Temari’s suggestions lately—staying independent, creating the club—but says she will mention it if she notices anything. When Mikura asks what Temari is reading, Temari replies she is still on the same author, and Mikura calls her as unpredictable as ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yukika asks about Hotori’s notebook, and Hotori explains she wants to be brave like the sentai heroes.

Hotori, unaware, continues striving to be a hero.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ryoko does not take her seriously at first, still believing people play the hero only to be seen as one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kush&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama’s adjuster shop, Karin Misono finds Kush sleeping inside the tent. Mitama explains that Kush cannot stay awake during the day due to her wish: “I just want the morning to never come.” Kush reveals she made her wish because she longed to live in a fantasy world like the one in her favorite book, &#039;Good‑Bye Fable,&#039; and her magical girl outfit resembles the story’s protagonist. Ui Tamaki and Little Kyubey arrive, and Kush briefly attacks Little Kyubey, mistaking him for the Kyubey she despises. Over tea, Mitama notices Kush’s long canine teeth stained red and later receives a message from her sister Mikage about a rumor of a vampire girl in the Hokuyo Mountains. Karin and Kush agree to investigate together, but Kush runs off to her night class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, the two meet up with Riko Chiaki and Ashley Taylor, who are making a horror video about the same rumor. The group searches the mountains at night. Kush can see in the dark and leads them, but she is still sleepy. They find a discarded camera containing a video of Rui Mizuki dropping it and disappearing. When a mysterious sound frightens the others, they accidentally leave Kush behind. Left alone, Kush eats cherry tomatoes and senses a witch. The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one. They also learn that Rui is Kush’s friend; she had filmed Kush entering the barrier before being caught by it. The group later glimpses a white‑haired silhouette and flees, thinking a real vampire might exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley posts a video warning others to stay away from the mountains. At Mitama’s shop, Ui hears about the incident and learns the vampire was just a misunderstanding. Meanwhile, Chika Aoba, whose animal traps and axe cuts the group had found, decides to move her work farther from the trails so she does not frighten anyone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Homura Akemi in Magia Record#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is flooded with more memories of her other self preparing for Walpurgisnacht with allies. She wonders if there might be a real possibility for salvation in this timeline, where no one has to be sacrificed. However, she believes it has nothing to do with her. She breaks out of the labyrinth and the dream ends. Kyubey asks if she was curious about what happened to her other self. Homura says it does not matter; she believes in Madoka&#039;s words that her efforts will not be in vain. A new universe is about to be born, and Homura must protect it for Madoka&#039;s sake. Kyubey states they will both forget Madoka, but Homura is determined to never forget her.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new universe where Witches do not exist, Kyoko is surprised to find Sayaka has disappeared. Mami explains the Law of Cycles causes Magical Girls to disappear when they lose hope. Homura cries as she remembers Madoka, but neither Mami nor Kyoko know who Madoka is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka spend the day together in Kamihama, enjoying each other’s company until they encounter Ria Ami, a model and magical girl who has already defeated the witch they were tracking. Ria invites them to tea and later takes them to the fashion district, where she notices that Homura’s attention never leaves Madoka. Admitting her jealousy, Ria says she wishes someone would look at her the same way, and Homura replies that she will protect Madoka. After Ria departs, Homura thinks that even if Madoka does not realize how cool she is, she will still save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Homura steals weapons from a group called the Soukaihou using her time stop, but she is caught afterward by Meiyui Chun, a magical girl affiliated with the group. Instead of punishing her, Meiyui thanks her for taking weapons that belonged to troublemakers and invites Homura to share mapo tofu. Over the meal, Meiyui learns Homura fights to protect someone precious to her and says she understands, offering her support and suggesting the spicy dish whenever the burden becomes too painful to bear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Homura is practicing her shooting alone when Natsuki Utsuho, a magical girl who cheers for others, offers to encourage her. Natsuki deduces Homura’s time stop ability and gives advice that significantly improves her aim. When Natsuki suggests Homura ask Mami to coach her, Homura calls, and Mami arrives within an hour. Mami uses her ribbons to move within Homura’s time stop during a sparring match, praising her rapid progress afterward. Homura agrees to return to Mitakihara with Mami, reflecting that she will keep moving forward to become a magical girl capable of protecting Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Sayaka arrives in Kamihama City to go shopping with Kyosuke Kamijou, though she insists it is not a date. When she hears a scream, she runs toward it and discovers Hinano Miyako at an empty elementary school. Hinano explains she was bumped on the head while setting up the chemistry lab, and Sayaka decides to help investigate. They find the culprit was a baseball that flew through the window from the baseball club practicing outside. Hinano returns the ball to a child and gives Sayaka a perfume she made, wishing her good luck on her date despite Sayaka&#039;s protests.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later in the shopping district, Emiri Kisaki approaches Sayaka, drawn by the perfume. After realizing Sayaka is not Hinano, Emiri offers to coordinate her wardrobe, claiming to be the &amp;quot;Cutest in the World.&amp;quot; Sayaka learns Emiri is also a magical girl but remains unsatisfied with the outfit suggestions, explaining the person she likes does not care about appearances. Emiri takes her to the top of a tower, where they view the city at night. Sayaka thanks her before heading to the train station, reflecting that her love is supported by the magical girls of Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the outing with Kyosuke arrives. After buying a CD, Kyosuke messages that his train is delayed. Sayaka fights a Witch she senses and meets Kokoro Awane, defeating it together. With time to spare, Kokoro invites her for tea. Sayaka shares that she became a magical girl to heal someone she loves, and Kokoro reveals she wished to bring her family together. Though problems remain, Kokoro believes she can unite them through her own power, and Sayaka finds strength in her words. When Kyosuke is about to arrive, Kokoro encourages her, and Sayaka runs to the station, feeling it will be a good day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day in Kamihama, Mami saves Kanoko Yayoi from familiars, and Kanoko explains her dream is to become a fashion designer.

* On a later day, Mami is approached at a cafe by Rika Ayano, who admires her fighting style and asks to be friends. They spend the day shopping and at an arcade, and Mami admits she has not enjoyed herself like this in a while. Rika reminds Mami of Kyoko Sakura, and Mami reflects on her friendships in Mitakihara. They exchange contact information and agree to hang out again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, after Mami fights off familiars, Nanaka Tokiwa confronts her, having heard rumors about the strongest Magical Girl from Mitakihara. Nanaka wants to team up or fight her, and Akira Shinobu arrives, also eager to challenge Mami based on exaggerated rumors. Mami agrees to fight them on one condition: they have tea with her first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kyoko admits she enjoys the cooking and promises to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kyokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura in Magia Record#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Ultimate&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart. She also finds Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, who were never supposed to become magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Panicking because she cannot prevent magical girls from becoming witches in this universe, Madoka investigates. She discovers the source blocking her intervention originated when the Holy Quintet first visited Kamihama, and she observes how Touka and Nemu—fated to die in every other universe—are alive and plotting with the Magius to lure Walpurgis Night to hatch Eve. Madoka reflects that their plan, if successful, would achieve what she herself accomplished. Unsure whether to intervene, she decides to investigate further and chooses Iroha as her next focal point, since this is the only universe where Iroha contracted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka observes Iroha’s past and finds the singular difference: on a normal day, Iroha took her usual shortcut but accidentally kicked a small pebble, nearly making her late. This tiny butterfly effect led to Iroha contracting and Ui, Nemu, and Touka surviving, derailing the universe’s fate. Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka decides not to interfere, fearing a clash that could destroy the universe. However, she laments that she may have no choice but to trample Iroha’s wish if this universe, now a singularity, threatens the stability of all other universes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* After contracting with Kyubey, Oriko foresees Madoka becoming Kriemhild Gretchen and ending the world. To prevent this, she begins manipulating events and people around her. She uses Yuma Chitose as a distraction to keep Kyubey away from Madoka, then later convinces Yuma to contract by claiming Kyoko is in danger. Oriko also recruits Kirika Kure as her pawn. When Kirika kills another magical girl, Oriko decides to use the murders to further distract Kyubey from Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Oriko Mikuni in Magia Record#Side Story|Oriko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Oriko has another vision revealing that Madoka is not in Mitakihara but somewhere else entirely. She witnesses a spatial distortion connecting Mitakihara to Kamihama City and begins to suspect Kamihama might hold the key to changing the future. Oriko sends Kirika to Kamihama under the pretense of buying tea, instructing her to gather information from Mami and other magical girls there. She then takes Yuma to Kamihama herself, leaving her inside a witch barrier knowing Kyoko will come to rescue her. While exploring Kamihama for answers, Oriko nearly dies inside a powerful witch barrier and realizes she needs Kirika&#039;s help to continue. Kirika eventually returns home safely, reporting that Mami and Kyoko are also investigating Kamihama and that the city has an unusually high number of witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Iroha &amp;amp; Ui&#039;s Shrine Maiden Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno are being lazy, still treating it like New Year&#039;s. Yachiyo scolds them. Iroha and Ui feel anxious about the upcoming school semester but realize they have forgotten something important. Yachiyo suggests it might be cleaning. Iroha and Ui remember they need to clean their house in Takarazaki. The group agrees to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha &amp;amp; Ui (Shrine Maiden)#Side Story|Iroha &amp;amp; Ui&#039;s Shrine Maiden Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the house, they clean together. Felicia finds a photo album. Everyone looks through pictures of Iroha and Ui as children. They see photos from Ui&#039;s birthday party at the hospital, a Christmas when they had a flour snowball fight, and other memories. The girls tease Iroha for being a dork, and Iroha gets embarrassed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After cleaning, they take a break. Ui wants to have a party at the house, which has always been a dream of hers since she was hospitalized for so long. Iroha agrees. They buy cakes and cookies from a nearby pastry shop. Back at the house, they hold a small party. Yachiyo is worried about the cost, but Iroha says she and Ui paid with their allowance. They toast to everyone&#039;s help with cleaning. Felicia accidentally spills juice, and they laugh. As evening falls, they return to Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Ui receive a New Year&#039;s card from their parents overseas. They want to send something back but cannot decide how. Tsuruno and Felicia are watching a comedy show about an elderly couple sending video messages to their children. This gives Iroha and Ui the idea to record a video message for their parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They film their first video, but Yachiyo says it is too ordinary. Sana suggests making it more unique. Ui wants to introduce everyone at Mikazuki Villa to their parents. Iroha agrees. They try filming again with a script, but the takes go poorly—Yachiyo overthinks her cooking scene, Felicia struggles to tutor Ui, and Tsuruno is late. Ui suggests they abandon the script and just be themselves. They record a video of their daily life together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the video, Iroha and Ui perform a shrine maiden&#039;s dance they learned from helping at a shrine over New Year&#039;s. They tell their parents not to worry and wish them luck with work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s parents watch the video overseas. They are moved by seeing their daughters having so much fun. The father decides they will return to Japan this year to see their daughters in person. Iroha hopes her mother can see their shrine maiden dance next year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Kimono)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Mitakihara City’s school closing ceremony, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura walk out together. Sayaka is glad the term is over, Madoka is excited, and Homura admits she will feel lonely without seeing them every day. Sayaka ruffles her hair and says they can still meet over break, whether hunting witches or hanging out. Madoka suggests visiting Mizuna Shrine in Kamihama for New Year’s to draw “Ultimate Fortunes.” Sayaka has other plans but encourages them to go together. After she leaves, Madoka asks Homura if she knows how to put on formal wear. Homura does not, so Madoka invites her to a kimono‑dressing class she found, saying she wanted the two of them to dress up with Sayaka but lacked the courage to go alone. Homura agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class, the instructor dresses them first; Madoka thinks Homura looks beautiful, and Homura calls Madoka cute. When the actual lesson begins, Madoka struggles badly and trips, while Homura learns quickly enough that the instructor says she will have no trouble. Madoka takes a break outside, feeling useless. Sayaka happens by and asks why she wanted to dress up in the first place - to have fun. Sayaka tells her not to overthink; even if she makes mistakes, she will still have the memories. Encouraged, Madoka returns and finally manages to dress herself after another trip.&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year’s Day, both have their formal wear put on at a store. They joke that the class was interesting but not very useful for the real occasion. They take lots of pictures to show Sayaka, then wish each other a happy new year and go to Mizuna Shrine to draw fortunes. Madoka hopes everyone has a lucky year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka find themselves trapped in a strange dream—a life-sized board game set across Kamihama City. They must reach the goal by following the game&#039;s rules. There are no Familiars or attempts to harm them, so Homura suspects it is accidental mischief rather than a trap. They roll dice to move between squares and complete missions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Kimono)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;First Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They arrive at a shopping center. The mission is to deliver lost items from the New Year&#039;s sale to the Information Desk. They meet Aimi, who found a plain notebook with no name. Aimi worries it is someone&#039;s secret fantasy diary and does not want to read it. They take it to the Information Desk and complete the mission. Aimi mentions she is shopping for materials to knit a scarf or gloves for a boy named Hayato.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** They roll again and move to a new square. The mission is to reunite two sisters who failed to meet. They find Tsukasa waiting for her twin Tsukuyo. Tsukuyo forgot her phone and cannot remember the meeting spot. Madoka and Homura offer to find Tsukuyo. They find her, but Tsukasa has wandered off while waiting. The sisters fail to meet, and Homura and Madoka lose three turns. They eventually reach the Mizuna Shrine goal, but the game says they have not met the goal conditions and sends them back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Second Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They are back at the beginning, wearing their kimonos. They see their past selves from the first loop. The same mission appears—reunite the twins. They meet Tsukasa again, who remembers them from before and is confused by their kimono change. Madoka tells Tsukasa where Tsukuyo is, but Tsukasa runs off before Madoka can explain she should wait. They try to find Tsukasa but fail. The mission fails again, and they are sent back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Third Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes: buy a lucky bag costing one million Magica. They search for a store and take a break at a cafe. They see Ria being interviewed and overhear a boy named Hayato saying he needs a warmer scarf. They find Kokoro and Masara, who lead them to a stationery lucky bag. Kokoro mentions Tsukasa is still looking for Tsukuyo. Madoka wants to help Tsukasa, and Homura agrees. They find Tsukuyo, who has been wandering and dropped something important. They learn Tsukuyo dropped her exchange diary with Tsukasa—the same notebook Aimi found. The mission completes, but they are sent back to the start again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes again: help a child who lost something. They find Tsukuyo waiting. She dropped the exchange diary. Homura and Madoka take her to the Information Desk to reclaim it. Madoka remembers Tsukasa was last seen near a specific area. They wait there and finally reunite the twins. They also tell Aimi that Hayato wants a warm scarf. Everyone ends up happy. Homura and Madoka reach the goal without regrets. Homura reflects that she does not want the dream to last longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka learns the meaning of &amp;quot;When winter comes, spring isn&#039;t far behind&amp;quot; at the end of December. Just before New Year&#039;s Eve, Madoka asks if anyone has plans for the holiday. Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko and Nagisa meet the teacher and children at the park. The kids immediately recognize Kyoko, so the pair double down on the movie lie. The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the performance, Kyoko and Sayaka use quick‑change costumes while Nagisa sneaks discarded clothes off set. The children are awed by the glowing weapons and effects, explained with lighting tricks and soap bubbles. After the class leaves, the group reviews the footage and decides to keep a copy. Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko returns the props to Sayuki, then visits an aquarium to pass time. As she leaves, she spots the same kindergarteners, detects a witch, and rushes to fight it. She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She is hunting for discounted Valentine&#039;s chocolate. She visits Sugar Plum but finds the chocolate coins sold out. She runs into Kyoko. They keep encountering each other at multiple stores and realize they are both after the same Valentine&#039;s Day exclusive Pink Tapir chocolate coins. They form an alliance to share information and split the chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe (Valentine)#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Valentine Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Pink Tapir station store, a clerk informs them the sale has moved to a new outlet location and gives them a map. On the way, a delivery truck carrying the chocolate coins is possessed by a Witch&#039;s Kiss and goes on a rampage. Nagisa and Kyoko chase it, jump onto the truck, and enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Nagisa uses her forbidden technique to defeat the Witch. The truck and other vehicles are unharmed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the outlet store and buy the chocolate coins. Nagisa reflects on her memory of eating Pink Tapir chocolate coins for the first time at a hospital charity event when her mother was sick. She wonders if this universe&#039;s Nagisa would have had the same experience. She and Kyoko hurry to Mami&#039;s chocolate party. Kyoko reveals she bought a chocolate cake from Sugar Plum for everyone. Nagisa shares her pink chocolate coins. Mami is happy they are getting along. The next day, the chocolate hunt continues. At the outlet store, Ms. Saotome buys chocolate coins for a hospital charity event, continuing the tradition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Ria, Mayu, and Manaka give the sisters their rented beach space, and the sisters end up spending the day with Team Yachiyo in a water pistol shooting match. They have more fun than they expected, but Tsukuyo suffers a heat stroke and is cared for by the group after Tsukasa panics. When Tsukasa tries to repay the favor, Yachiyo jokes that she should quit the Wings of Magius, then smiles when Tsukasa refuses as expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Their final opponents are Miyako, Kokoro, Masara, and Ren, with Ren proving surprisingly athletic. Miyako’s team wins after Yachiyo avoids stepping on a rare hermit crab, but everyone agrees Tsukasa has repaid her debt, and the sisters admit they had a wonderful time. They end the day drinking juice Yachiyo bought for them and buying matching crescent moon accessories in different colors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

* They wake up past noon. There is only an hour before the bus leaves. They quickly change into swimsuits and race to the beach. Rena loses and buys everyone juice. They enjoy a brief swim before heading home. Kaede says she is glad she came to the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama asks Momoko to be her partner for the Beachside Perfect Pair Contest. The prizes include a scallop BBQ, Candy World tickets for Mikage, and a giant stuffed bunny Rena and Kaede would love. Momoko agrees, and Mitama immediately drags her out shopping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They browse swimsuits, but Mitama insists on choosing thoughtfully rather than buying on a whim. They separate briefly, and Mitama runs into Mikage, deflecting questions about what she’s doing. Momoko later admits she also had to make excuses after running into Rena and Kaede. Instead of buying swimsuits, Mitama brings Momoko back for an adjustment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the adjustment, they emerge in new swimsuits—Momoko’s tailored perfectly to her tastes, leaving her flustered but secretly pleased. Mitama teases her and admits she’s nervous but excited.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On contest day, Mitama and Momoko play on the beach. They learn the contest requires performing a shared beach memory with chemistry. They plan to tell the story of Mitama’s deserted island ordeal while Momoko adds her side of worrying. While playing, they fight a Witch together—the first time Mitama has teamed up with someone—then run straight into Rena, Kaede, and Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They win by performing the events of the day instead of their planned story. Rena claims the stuffed bunny, and Mikage gets the Candy World tickets, immediately inviting Mitama. Apologies are exchanged, and the others ask for no more secrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, while Mitama and Momoko clean up, Rena and Kaede take Mikage to get drinks. A girl from Mitama’s past confronts her: the one Mitama accidentally shoved down the stairs years ago. A crowd gathers, muttering rumors, but Momoko defends Mitama and the crowd disperses. The girl realizes it was an accident and offers to help clear Mitama’s name, but Mitama declines, saying she no longer needs it because she has someone who believes in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka arrives at a resort with her friends, carrying her mother’s challenge to do something she can only do now. After rescuing an old woman’s hat from the sea, she learns the hat was a gift from the woman’s daughter, Himari.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group spends the day swimming, building a sandcastle, and splitting into smaller activities. While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The girls complete the rally together, with the final photo taken at a sunflower field. That evening, a storm cancels the flower tour, but the photographer invites them to meet the next morning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the photographer leads them to a hidden pond where barringtonia blossoms float. She reveals this was the special place she and Himari had planned to visit. Madoka recognizes Himari’s name and, with her friends’ help, finds the old woman from the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The old woman and the photographer meet; the photographer confesses her guilt over their childhood fight, but the woman explains Himari never mentioned any quarrel—her illness suddenly worsened that day. The two women reconcile, and both thank Madoka for bringing them together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond. Madoka reflects that the thing she could only do here was to reunite the two women and give them peace. Her friends call her for one last swim, and she runs off to join them, already thinking of returning to the island someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story and Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
It has two versions I made, assimilate them if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomuradsSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At registration, Mitama announces all participants must wear swimwear, offering to transform their outfits for free. Homura is surprisingly excited, and Sayaka gets roped into wearing a ridiculous mushroom‑mermaid costume designed by Kanoko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many familiar magical girls attend as participants or catering staff. Hazuki reveals her hatred of worms, Konoha faints from watching bait wriggle, and various mishaps begin piling up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka in her costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The non‑waterproof suit causes Sayaka to be electrocuted by its built‑in fan, but her Doppel activates and saves her. The Doppel drags Yachiyo into the water, and Yachiyo begins water‑skiing using her fishing rod while being pulled around.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura manages to fish up the Doppel and wins the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other&#039;s backs. Homura happily agrees, ending the day on a warm note.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Homura confronts her Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying summer and relying on Madoka’s kindness. The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurads&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They participate in an accessory-making workshop using star sand. Inside the aquarium, they meet Ashley, an exchange student from the United States, and Riko.

** After parting ways with Ashley and Riko, Sayaka wants to visit a CD store. She hopes to find rare CDs for Kyosuke. At the store, she reaches for the same CD as a woman. They discover they both use notepads to track CDs. The woman is Takamine&#039;s wife—Takamine was a violinist who passed away. She collects his recordings to show her daughter. They exchange contact information. Sayaka mentions the upcoming flea market.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Sayaka and Kyoko transform into swimsuits and ride a surfboard to retrieve it, using Nagisa&#039;s floaty as a distraction. The hat is recovered. Takamine&#039;s wife realizes she lost her notepad. Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while waiting, Nagisa and Riko play with water guns. Sayaka&#039;s group relaxes on the beach. Madoka and Homura find Sayaka&#039;s copy in Mirrors. The copy lures them into a trap, but they manage to get the CD list from her and escape. They send it to Sayaka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring. They plan for future fights: Sayaka will handle Familiars, Madoka and Homura will immobilize the Witch, and Mami will finish it off. Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They agree to return the day after next, since Madoka is busy the following day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Moved by Ui’s determination, Kyoko keeps training her until sunset, and Ui finally masters swimming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully. Later, Kyoko visits Mitama to revert her outfit, explaining she wants to learn swimming properly rather than relying on magic. She trades a Grief Seed for money to buy ramune as payment for a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Eternal Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;

* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi meet again. Mitama shares her realization: her grief has ended. She now wants to make amends and carve a new future for Kamihama. They discuss ideas for the student conference. Kanagi suggests a sports festival. Mitama suggests a festival with food stalls. They joke about romance and love interests. Mitama feels lighter and ready to move forward. She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at the Wings of Magius, Alina asks Nemu to create a rumor for her. She will let it grow, then take it into herself and use it to achieve her greatest goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Touka and Nemu separately sneak to Ui’s room to leave apology notes. They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They first visit Mitama’s shop, where they meet Maria and Konomi. Mikage hands out sweets, crediting Lavi’s teaching, and Mitama permits them to visit the Mikazuki girls after receiving a cake. At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the real world, Tsuruno gives gelato to Ui and Felicia. Ui is absorbed in playing a game called &amp;quot;Little Vacation&amp;quot; on Tsuruno&#039;s phone. The game follows Tsuruno and Felicia as Reindeer Santas traveling to reach the End of the World and the Wishing Star.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia (Special Delivery)#Side Story|Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno uses the Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a hint: &amp;quot;The key is something you don&#039;t know the importance of until it&#039;s gone. This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The girls encourage Tsuruno and Felicia to leave since they were not originally trapped. Tsuruno and Felicia walk out easily. They promise to return once they find a way to free everyone. They leave, having failed to deliver smiles for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Town of Miraculous ☆ Prestidigitations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the next town. They meet Mitama, a magician performing tricks, and twins Rion and Hotori. Mitama attempts to teleport Hotori but accidentally duplicates her. There are now two Hotoris. Tsuruno and Felicia try to help. The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win. The duplicates are left behind. The single Tsuruno who lost is left alone without Reindeer-san #2 or the Okamochi Box. She decides to continue traveling anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; The three Tsurunos reunite and discuss the hints from the Okamochi Box. They realize &amp;quot;three heads are better than one&amp;quot; refers to them working together to solve the Maze Town puzzle. They also realize the key in Maze Town was a &amp;quot;smile&amp;quot;—something Ren had lost along the way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game. Game Tsuruno is surprised, saying the actual people probably do not play the game anymore. They celebrate their success and set their sights on the next town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents. Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia return home and ask to hear the full story, so Yachiyo retrieves the scarf from the time capsule where she had hidden it years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Check on the days again to make sure how many days pass. It&#039;s possible it&#039;s all just one day&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami finds herself in a strange white fog, speaking with two other versions of herself. Holy Mami claims she has learned the truth about magical girls from Alina Gray and Touka Satomi and has found a way to save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami has tea with Touka and Alina at a house rented for her by Touka. Mami explains she has not returned to Mitakihara because her priority is releasing magical girls. Touka and Alina offer to lecture her on what she needs to study. Alina grows disturbingly excited discussing van Gogh&#039;s Sunflowers, and Touka lectures at length on mathematics until Alina interrupts. Mami reassures them she will ask for help when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina receives a call from the Amane sisters requesting help with a Witch. Touka asks Mami to assist, explaining she has a lecture to give at noon to recruit skilled magical girls. Mami agrees, reflecting that releasing magical girls requires Grief Seeds, protecting Rumors, and raising Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane waiting for her. They explain the Witch has moved and the Black Feathers are monitoring it. A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren plan for their friends’ Christmas party a week away and promise to spend Christmas Eve together. While looking at options in a magazine, they cannot decide on a place. Ren buys the magazine to think it over, privately hoping to choose somewhere that will make Rika happy, though she doubts whether she truly belongs beside her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ren visits Emiri’s consultation room but finds only Akira and Ria Ami. She explains her dilemma, and Ria takes her around town to evaluate possible locations. They rule out a restaurant, an amusement park, and a romantic cafe, eventually settling on the Minagi Aquarium. Ria is surprised to learn Ren is planning an outing with Rika, not a boyfriend, but Ren leaves feeling confident in her choice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Christmas Eve, Rika attends a party with her school friends. When she mentions she will spend Christmas Eve at the aquarium with a friend, her friends press to join, but Rika refuses. She advises them not to look for boyfriends just to avoid being alone. Later, while walking with her friends, Rika spots Ren chasing after Aimi Eri. She follows and finds Ren comforting Aimi over a misunderstanding involving a boy; the situation resolves without trouble.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Ren waits for Rika, who messages that she overslept with a fever. Ren worries Rika became sick chasing after her the day before. Before she can reply, Aimi finds her, and they go shopping together. Aimi encourages Ren to visit Rika instead of staying apart. Ren goes to Rika’s house, knocks on her window, and insists they spend Christmas together there so Rika can rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They exchange gifts: Ren gives Rika scented candles, having noticed Rika’s interest from a sticky note, and Rika gives Ren a glass candlestick. Rika hopes they can visit the aquarium another time, and Ren leaves happy to have shared Christmas with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, assimilate them if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumor Tsuruno begins designing the park, adding a merry-go-round, roller coaster, spa, shops, and a cafe. The mascots warn that once the park is complete, she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world. Rumor Tsuruno claims no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she imagines comfort foods with hot pot as the main star, she is reminded of Mikazuki Villa. She brushes it off and completes the park. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Uwasa Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana looks at a Mr. Purrs-a-lot picture book and feels down. Ui notices and asks what is wrong. Sana admits she wants to become a picture book author to help people who are suffering like she once was. She has many ideas but does not know how to write them. Ui encourages her. Sana says she is starting from zero and needs to practice writing. Ui suggests she settle on one main idea. Sana recalls a story about the Rice God from Yachiyo and decides to write a practice story about it.&lt;br /&gt;

Aoi suggests a picnic to help them understand each other. The residents grow closer. Ui enjoys the story. Sana reveals she wants to leave behind proof of Ai&#039;s existence before she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana asks Nemu for permission to use a character modelled after Ai in her picture book. Nemu agrees, saying she is happy Sana wishes to preserve Ai. Nemu advises Sana on how to become a published author: enter contests or approach publishers directly. Sana becomes discouraged when she realizes she would have to interact with people who cannot see her. She leaves feeling hopeless.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana wanders alone, feeling invisible. She helps a girl find a lost ring but is not noticed. She thinks her dream is impossible. Tsuruno, Felicia, and Ui find her, worried because she was not answering calls. Iroha and Yachiyo also arrive.

Iroha and the others promise to support her. Sana realizes she has a family to help her get back up.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana finishes her first picture book, &amp;quot;A Small Encounter.&amp;quot; The story follows Shana, an invisible girl who is found by Aoi and makes her first friend.

* Day 1 (Flashback/Reflection)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi wakes from a nap and remembers the dream she had when fused with the Kimochi. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words that helped her realize she had not truly given up. Iroha told her that those who have given up do not fight, and that Lavi came to Kamihama because she still wanted to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro (Kimochi)#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects on the hope she once held—a daydream of a peaceful life where magical girls are understood. In that dream, she helped her mother, tended fields with her grandfather, watched Urara&#039;s street performances, and attended exhibitions with Shirogane. She encountered other magical girls: Asahi, Haitani, Kuroda, Urara, and Alexandra. They fought witches together and enjoyed everyday moments. Lavi realized she had locked away this hope because remembering it was painful. But now, through her connection with Iroha and her time with Nayuta, she has begun to see the future again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 2 (Daydream/Desired Future)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi dreams of a happy future where the Automatic Purification System has spread and peace has come. She, Nayuta, and Mikage go on a trip to Yukuni. They encounter many acquaintances: Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and Mikazuki Villa. Due to a scheduling mistake, everyone arrives at the same inn on the same day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** There is not enough premium beef for dinner. The groups compete in hot spring table tennis, karaoke, and pillow fights to decide who gets the meat. Yuna cheats in table tennis and is disqualified. The karaoke machine is outdated. The pillow fight becomes chaotic. Asahi saves the day with gibier meat. Everyone shares the meal and enjoys the evening together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects that this bustling, noisy future is unlike her usual self, but she realizes she has been yearning for it deep down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 3 (Reality/Current Time)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi teaches Nayuta cooking. They discuss their futures: Nayuta wants to study magical girls at a university different from her father&#039;s. Lavi wants to help at her family&#039;s inn while spreading magical girl activities. They plan a trip with Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Upon arriving at Cradle of the Earth in Yukuni, they encounter Mikazuki Villa, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and the Tokime Clan—just as in Lavi&#039;s dream. There is again not enough meat for dinner. Lavi is overwhelmed but also excited. She realizes that even if the past cannot be undone, they can move forward together and create a bright future. She announces they will compete over the meat and create a new future with all of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo tracks her location and rushes to the station with Tsuruno. Tsuruno finds Felicia, who confesses she cannot forget Iroha.

When the others refuse to help, she attempts to go alone. Felicia uses her oblivion magic on Yachiyo and she forgets the plan entirely. Yachiyo continues preparing lunch as if nothing happened. They travel to the Rumor for the picnic.

&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane complain about being overworked as guardians of a Rumor and fear the anger of Touka, Alina, and Nemu. They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;

===Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin|Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One winter’s day before Christmas, Rika and Ren go shopping together. The town has no Christmas decorations and people seem depressed. They hear a distressed voice and find Mitama, wearing a Santa&#039;s beard and hat, and she introduces herself as a Christmas Spirit. Mitama says her job is to make everyone happy, but the task is too big. She gives Rika and Ren some of her magic, explaining that the magic requires them to be perfectly attuned to each other, and then she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, a swallow Familiar appears, claiming to be Mitama’s pupil and Rika names him Chirpie. Chirpie explains that Mitama saved him when he fell from his nest and gave him magic. He can sense cowardly hearts lacking courage and Rika and Ren must drive out ten cowardly hearts to make the town happy. Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chirpie leads them to Felicia and Sana, who had accidentally smashed a cake and are now arguing about who should apologize to Yachiyo. Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines|Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 13th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mitama is away from her shop, but Tsuruno is there, using the kitchen to make chocolate bonbons with a friend. She plans to surprise everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 14th:&#039;&#039;&#039; On Valentine&#039;s Day, Tsuruno gives beautifully wrapped chocolates to Iroha, Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana and Ui at Mikazuki Villa. Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rise of the Waning Moon===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Rise of the Waning Moon|Rise of the Waning Moon]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day during lunch break, Kanagi goes to Himika’s classroom, telling her she just wanted to see her face, which Himika finds strange.&lt;br /&gt;
** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===Finding Our Formula===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Finding Our Formula|Finding Our Formula]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Hinano and Emiri attend a chemistry event. Hinano is excited to see a chemist who reminds her of the woman she idolized as a child—a tall, long-legged lady who taught fun chemistry experiments. Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic|Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls finish dinner. Tsuruno and Felicia complain about going to the same public pool every summer. Yachiyo receives a phone call from a distant relative who runs a hotel. The relative needs help cleaning the hotel pool because the usual staff are sick. Yachiyo hesitates due to her modeling schedule. The girls offer to help. Yachiyo calls back and confirms they will come.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group arrives at the hotel and Yachiyo&#039;s relative, an older woman, greets them warmly. She says she used to hang out with Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river. Tsuruno and Felicia compete to see who can clean faster, inventing names for their techniques. Yachiyo scolds them for being inefficient. They eventually work together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha slips and falls but is not hurt. Felicia sprays Yachiyo with the hose and Yachiyo chases her. After a few hours, they finish cleaning. The relative rewards them with fluffy shaved ice.&lt;br /&gt;
** The pool is now clean and filled with water. The girls swim and play. Tsuruno and Felicia bring water guns and spray Yachiyo. Yachiyo chases them and gets out of the pool to walk upstream, eventually catching them. They all have fun.&lt;br /&gt;
** As they leave, the relative thanks them but reveals the pool may not open after all due to unforeseen issues. Everyone is shocked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

On the evening after pool cleaning (same day)&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic|Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic]]&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls are about to leave when the relative reveals the pool may not open because support staff from the southern islands are delayed by a typhoon. Tsuruno volunteers the group to help until the staff arrives. Yachiyo worries they might cause trouble, but Iroha, Ui, and Sana want to try. They agree to help. Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the next day, the group arrives at the pool for opening day. Yachiyo handles reception. The ticket scanner malfunctions and a line forms. Mitama appears—she had plans with Iroha that were canceled. She offers to help and fixes the scanner by hitting it. The staff member returns and takes over.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama notices Yachiyo has something on her mind and suggests she talk to someone she trusts. Iroha later asks Yachiyo to help with a crowded lunch area. Ui is taking orders with Sana&#039;s invisible help making drinks.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral. Yachiyo admits she was worried about everyone but sees they are doing fine. Iroha tells Yachiyo it is okay to worry because she cares, and they can solve problems together. Iroha notices Yachiyo has been down and offers to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
** A foam machine malfunctions, spewing foam everywhere. A guest slips and falls. The group splits up to clean the foam and help guests. Mitama fixes the machine with a whack. The support staff arrives. The girls finally have time to enjoy the pool.&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models. She does not know what to post and is shy about taking selfies. Iroha suggests posting photos of herself and takes pictures of Yachiyo on a float with the sunset. Yachiyo is embarrassed but agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Tsuruno want a turn on the float. Everyone climbs on, and Mitama takes a group photo just as they all fall into the water. Iroha loves the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the pool photos are popular online. Yachiyo&#039;s manager says going to the pool was a good move. Yachiyo thanks Iroha and says she might take her up on being her photographer again. She sends the group photo to everyone. Iroha says the photo may not be &amp;quot;social media-worthy&amp;quot; but it captures who they are. They agree to go back to the pool again—summer is just getting started.&lt;br /&gt;

* Tsukuyo Amane reflects on her life. She and her sister must have realized they were doing something wrong, but to save each other, it was the only hope they had. She will seek a different path for them to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo dreams of living with her twin sister Tsukasa. She daydreams about leaving home and living with her beloved sister.

After school, she meets Tsukasa at the shrine. They both studied the same story and discuss planning for when they live together. Tsukuyo researches the costs of a two-person household and is shocked by how expensive it is.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo falls asleep while daydreaming about living with Tsukasa. Her grandmother finds her fantasy budget notebook and accuses her of planning to run away with a boy. Her training hours are increased, and her smartphone is confiscated. Tsukuyo is unable to contact Tsukasa. She runs away and ends up at the shrine, but Tsukasa is at school.&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback (Before Magical Girl). Tsukuyo is overworked with club activities and training. She is exhausted and collapses. She wakes up in the hospital with her sister beside her. Tsukuyo remembers how she first met Tsukasa. She was playing her flute at the shrine when she saw a girl who looked just like her. They discovered they were twins, separated at birth. They became close and talked openly with each other for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo too formal and uptight, while Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukuyo was devastated. She received a harsh message from her grandmother, punishing her for being absent without permission. She broke down crying, saying she was not a puppet for her grandmother to order around.&lt;br /&gt;
*On another day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa both collapse and wake up in the hospital. The pediatrician confirms they are twins. They reconcile and make a wish to Kyubey to never again hate each other. They become Magical Girls. They meet at the shrine and agree to leave home together once they graduate high school. Their wishes have come true, but their environments have not changed. Messages from their families indicate misunderstandings have been cleared, and they decide to part for the day.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day after the reconciliation, Tsukuyo returns home, but life becomes stricter. She continues her oppressive training. Mifuyu contacts her about something important regarding Magical Girls. Tsukuyo meets Mifuyu and learns that Magical Girls turn into Witches. She is horrified that she and Tsukasa will become Witches. She produces a Doppel. Mifuyu explains that the Wings of the Magius are working to save Magical Girls and asks for Tsukuyo&#039;s help. Tsukuyo agrees to discuss it with Tsukasa.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Tsukasa tells Tsukuyo she does not know the details of how the Magius intend to save them. She shares the full ending of the story they studied—the couple takes their own lives because they fear their love will fade. Tsukasa suggests they do the same. Tsukuyo is horrified but realizes they have no other way out.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night they decide to die, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa meet at the shrine. They decide to destroy their Soul Gems together. They hold hands and count to three. Mifuyu arrives in time to stop them. She begs them to live and fight for their freedom together. She says the Wings of the Magius may be small, but they will grow. Tsukasa and Tsukuyo agree to join the Wings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Return to the present) Tsukuyo reflects on how much has happened. She knows she must always be there to support Tsukasa, who can be unpredictable. She dreams of their future together—a happy ending where they live together, free from family, regional disputes, and Magical Girls. She knows it may be a long way off, but as long as she has Tsukasa, she believes they will get their happy ending.&lt;br /&gt;

Tsukasa will handle housework and cooking. She daydreams about their future life together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukasa&#039;s father tells her about an arranged marriage interview. He wants her to marry a boy from Chuo Ward to help dispel the eastern impression that plagues their workshop. Tsukasa refuses and runs away. She ends up at the shrine, but Tsukuyo is at school. She remembers how she first met Tsukuyo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before Magical Girl). Tsukasa is overworked with school, chores, and finances for the workshop. She is exhausted and collapses. She wakes up in the hospital with her sister beside her. Tsukasa remembers how she first met Tsukuyo. She was playing her flute at the shrine when a stranger warned her about Witches. She then saw a girl who looked just like her. They discovered they were twins, separated at birth. They became close and talked about their struggles.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo stuck-up and obsessed with appearances. Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized and loud. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukasa&#039;s resentment toward her family grew. She fell into a Witch&#039;s snare but was saved by the stranger from before.&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo both collapse and wake up in the hospital. The pediatrician confirms they are twins. They reconcile and make a wish to Kyubey to never again hate each other. They become Magical Girls. They meet at the shrine and agree to leave home together once they graduate high school. Their wishes have come true, but their environments have not changed.&lt;br /&gt;

* On the night of the suicide pact, Tsukasa runs to the shrine. She has nowhere to run. Her sister is crying before her. Tsukasa produced a Doppel. They return to Mifuyu for more information. Kanagi warns Tsukasa that the Magius could be lying. Tsukasa decides to end their story by destroying their Soul Gems. She and Tsukuyo hold hands and count to three. Mifuyu arrives in time to stop them. She begs them to live and fight for their freedom together. Tsukasa and Tsukuyo agree to join the Wings of the Magius.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa returns home. Her father apologizes for being too harsh. Her marriage interview is postponed until after graduation, and life returns to normal. Tsukasa dreams of her future with Tsukuyo—a happy ending where they can laugh together, free from family, the east-west conflict, and Magical Girls. She knows it is still a long way off, but as long as she has Tsukuyo, she will be okay.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka faces a formidable Boss Witch with her team. They withdraw due to exhaustion. Later, at Blossom, Kako worries about the Witch hurting someone. Nanaka says they need a new strategy.

* The next day, Nanaka meets with Konoha&#039;s team to discuss territorial disputes. Hazuki wants to maintain an agreement that all participants share Grief Seeds equally. Nanaka agrees but only to avoid unnecessary conflict. She sees Hazuki&#039;s personal motives and decides to do her a favor. After the meeting, Nanaka explains to her team that she wanted to observe everyone&#039;s opinions for future use. She reflects on her past—her father fell ill, his pupils took over the school, and the Tokiwa family was left in the dust. On his deathbed, her father asked her to reclaim the school. She wished for the power to evaluate who her enemies truly are. She discovered the true enemy was a Witch she named Locust. She formed a team to seek revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day after the negotiation, Nanaka arranges flowers while thinking about the two main issues: the Boss Witch and the territorial disputes. Meiyui sends her news that a plan has come together.

She meets with Hinano, asks her to keep the incident quiet, and Hinano agrees.&lt;br /&gt;

** Nanaka holds a meeting. Some members want to abolish the agreement because it hinders teamwork.

Her team questions her decision, but she says they will see soon enough.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hazuki&#039;s team confronts Nanaka. They were forced to defeat the Boss Witch because of the &amp;quot;duty&amp;quot; clause. Hazuki says Nanaka played them. Nanaka admits she knew they could do it. Hazuki says they have scores to settle. Hazuki also mentions the Witch was strange, like it was being manipulated. Nanaka realizes the Locust is not just one Witch—the true enemy is its puppet master.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several months later (present day) Nanaka reflects that her Locust revenge story is over. The puppet master can no longer do harm. But something else is starting to creep from the shadows of Kamihama City. She will have to find out what comes next.&lt;br /&gt;

* Kako is 13 years old. Her parents run Natsume Books, a used bookstore. Books are a huge part of her life. One day, she sees Nanaka loitering by the mailbox, looking distressed. Nanaka drops a letter in the mailbox and runs off. She tells Kako to read the letter. Kako remembers the words &amp;quot;Kill her&amp;quot; and wonders why.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako recalls her past. Her family was not wealthy, but they were happy. Her father recommended books, and her mother helped her study. Then tragedy struck. A riot over land grabs broke out. Harassment of those who objected got worse. Discord grew within the community and even within their home. Her father was wound tight. Then their house was set on fire. Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
** She met a girl named &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; N told Kako who was responsible and what she needed to do to destroy them. Kako clung to her. She later learned N was manipulative and saw others as pawns. Kako hates N and wants revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found herself in a Labyrinth. Nanaka fought off Familiars but was overwhelmed. Kyubey offered Kako the chance to become a Magical Girl. Nanaka told Kako through telepathy to decide for herself what she wanted. Kako realized she hated feeling helpless. She wished to see her family smiling again and to get Natsume Books back. She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kako learned Nanaka faked her struggle to entrap her into making the wish. Nanaka had pulled this trick on others to use them as pawns. Kako could not forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako and Nanaka fought Witches together. Nanaka encouraged Kako and told her she was better suited to being a Magical Girl than Nanaka was. Kako wanted to get stronger. Nanaka wrote a letter confessing her deception and asking Kako to kill her. Kako made up her mind to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka. She returned it unopened, saying it seemed wrong to read something Nanaka only sent by accident. Nanaka smiled and said Kako was dazzling. She said she would try to tell Kako her feelings in person someday.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako thinks Nanaka overestimates her, but she is no longer as scared and helpless as she used to be. She is a Magical Girl who protects the city by Nanaka&#039;s side.&lt;br /&gt;

* A teacher asks Hazuki to deliver worksheets to Nanaka. Hazuki is reluctant because Konoha distrusts Nanaka after an incident where Nanaka&#039;s team tricked them into fighting a powerful Witch. Hazuki delivers the worksheets. Nanaka suggests they should share information without secrets. Hazuki agrees to try building trust, but she remains wary.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki arrives at the school camp. She is assigned to orienteering setup with Nanaka. They are paired together by random draw. They work through checkpoints. The map notes are outdated, and they get lost. It starts raining heavily.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the storm, the rope bridge collapses due to the rain. Hazuki and Nanaka cannot cross the river. They find an old shack for shelter. They huddle together for warmth. Hazuki shares her past: her parents died in an accident when she was young. She was shuffled between relatives until she ended up at Azalea House. She learned to hide her fear behind a smile. The director taught her to smile when her heart truly felt it. She met Konoha and Ayame there. They became family. They made wishes to protect Azalea House and left to live together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka listens quietly. She says she finally understands Hazuki&#039;s true self. Nanaka grows pale and cold. Hazuki worries she might collapse. Hazuki insists they huddle closer. Nanaka admits she is cold. They wait together.&lt;br /&gt;
** The rain stops. Akira and others find them at the shack. They are taken back to camp. The nurse checks them. Hazuki and Nanaka are cleared to stay. Nanaka is grateful for Hazuki&#039;s help. Hazuki teases Nanaka about being excited for pillow fights. Nanaka jokes back. They agree to enjoy the rest of camp together. Hazuki realizes she has seen a different side of Nanaka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ayame Mikuri&#039;s Heartphial Story: Runaway Adventure===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame Mikuri reflects on her life. Azalea House was a place that showed her real love. When she knew nothing about family, that place taught her warmth. She was not going to turn her back on it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame writes a letter to the Director, the late head of Azalea House. She explains that she, Konoha, and Hazuki are Magical Girls now. Konoha warns Ayame to stay away from Nanaka&#039;s team after a recent incident. Ayame agrees but secretly plans to meet up with Kako anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayame and Kako meet in secret. They are friends but cannot openly hang out because their teams do not get along. Ayame complains about the situation. Kako shows her a book about ocean adventures. Ayame becomes curious about whether the ocean boils when the sun sets. They decide to go to the beach together to find out.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame and Kako take a train and a bus toward the beach. Ayame is excited. Konoha calls and texts repeatedly, but Ayame ignores her. They get off the bus when it breaks down and take a detour. They discover a field of sunflowers. They share cup noodles together. Ayame turns off her phone. Kako also ignores Nanaka&#039;s messages to focus on their adventure. They finally reach the beach and watch the sunset together. Ayame still cannot tell if the ocean boils, but she is happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback - Azalea House) Ayame dreams of the Director. She remembers the day Azalea House was going to be torn down. The Director had already passed away. Konoha, Hazuki, and Ayame met Kyubey and decided to become Magical Girls. Ayame wished for Azalea House to stay open forever. Konoha wished to eliminate all threats to it. They decided on a third wish: to have everyone at Azalea House forget they were ever there. They left the orphanage and started living together. Ayame remembers Konoha&#039;s promise that they would always be together. She reflects on her conflict with Konoha over her friendship with Kako. She wishes the Director could tell her what to do.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame wakes up at Kako&#039;s relatives&#039; house. Konoha has arrived. She found Ayame by asking Nanaka to track Kako&#039;s location. Ayame refuses to go home, saying Konoha has been stifling her. She promises to tell Konoha where she is next time. Konoha apologizes. She did not realize how her words were making Ayame feel. She promises to talk things through with Hazuki and Ayame. Kako is relieved. Ayame treasures the memory of her adventure. She promises never to forget it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Masara Kagami&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Flame Kindled in the Vastness===&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara Kagami reflects on her life. After becoming a Magical Girl, not much felt dramatically different. But encounters and experiences since have changed her. She thinks her dull and pointless life has just gotten a little more colorful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara finds the world boring. She is good at swimming but lacks passion. Kyubey appears and offers her any wish. She wishes for a load of money and becomes a Magical Girl. She fights Witches, and the excitement fades quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara meets Kokoro Awane in a Labyrinth. Kokoro is uncomfortable with Masara&#039;s reckless fighting and tells her to protect herself more. Masara says she does not care if she dies. Kokoro says her family would care. Masara questions why Kokoro blames herself for her family&#039;s problems. Kokoro asks if they can stick together. Masara agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a Witch hunt, they&#039;re attacked by a Witch and Masara takes a hit to protect Kokoro. She gets a scar. She starts avoiding Kokoro because she does not understand her feelings. Mitama explains that Masara fears seeing Kokoro get hurt, so she avoids her to prevent that pain. Masara realizes she fears losing Kokoro, so they reconcile.&lt;br /&gt;
* The swim club announces the relay team. Masara is chosen but declines, saying she is not good at team sports. Koshino, who has always been second to Masara, is chosen as her replacement. Koshino vows to beat Masara&#039;s record.&lt;br /&gt;
* While Kokoro and Masara go on patrol, they see Koshino training alone after school hours. Koshino tells Masara she beat her personal record. Masara is puzzled by Koshino&#039;s passion.&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Masara passes Koshino training again. They start talking about her times regularly. Kokoro notes that Koshino will never catch up to Masara&#039;s times. Masara wonders what drives Koshino.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days before the competition, Koshino beats Masara&#039;s record once. The swim club captain praises her. Masara feels something but cannot identify it. She is not annoyed. She does not know what she feels.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day before the competition, Koshino has an accident and cannot compete. Masara agrees to take her place. She is surprised by her own motivation. Kokoro notices the change.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the competition, Masara swims well. Her team finishes second, but she was in the lead when passing the baton. Koshino comes to watch and thanks Masara for doing the race for her. Kokoro says Masara has changed. Masara decides she wants to keep swimming a while longer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika Ayano&#039;s Heartphial Story: Haunting Love, Haunting Mistake===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika Ayano reflects on her life. She does not want to feel like she became a Magical Girl for nothing. She got to see what dating is like and made loads of friends. But sins do not wash away so easily. That is the price you pay for a miracle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback, but the entirety seems like mostly a flashback) Kyubey offers Rika any wish in exchange for becoming a Magical Girl. Hinano warns her not to do it, but Rika ignores the advice. She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Riko Chiaki&#039;s Heartphial Story: Worked Out with a Woof===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki reflects on her life. Even though her mom and dad were hardly home because of work, she never felt lonely as long as Miss K was around. She cared about her so much that she just wanted to help her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback) Riko helps out at her parents&#039; bento store. She is close with Miss K, the daughter of the hardware store owner next door. Miss K has always been like a big sister to her. Miss K cries to Riko that her father opposes her marriage because he does not want her to move far away. Riko wishes to Kyubey for Miss K&#039;s marriage to be accepted. She becomes a Magical Girl. Miss K gets married and moves away. Riko misses her but does not regret her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Riko goes filming with Ashley. She tells Ashley about Miss K. She explains that Miss K&#039;s father never fully accepted the marriage, and they have not made up. Riko receives a message from Miss K saying she was in the hospital because she was pregnant. She invites Riko to visit her new house. Riko goes and meets the baby. Miss K asks Riko to be friends with her child. Riko becomes like a big sister to the baby. She feels happy that her wish came true but is sad Miss K and her father never reconciled.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko walks Mameji and sees Miss K&#039;s father standing outside the hardware store, looking sad. She wonders what is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley advises Riko to ask Miss K directly if she wants to make up with her father. Riko texts Miss K and asks to meet. Miss K replies that she will come to Riko&#039;s town instead. Riko is excited.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Miss K visits Riko. They talk about her father. Miss K says she wants to make up with him but does not know how. Riko suggests inviting him to meet the baby, giving him a present, or going on a family trip. Miss K doubts any of it will work. They walk to Riko&#039;s store together. They encounter Miss K&#039;s father outside. Riko admits she asked Miss K to come so they could patch things up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Miss K&#039;s father reveals he brought a herbarium to Riko&#039;s store. It was originally meant as a gift for his grandchild, but he could not bring himself to deliver it. Riko realizes Mameji had been guiding her this whole time. Earlier, Mameji had barked at the cake that turned out to be from Miss K&#039;s father. Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky. She realizes she is dying, having protected Yachiyo. She remembers how everyone was fighting for dear life. She wished she were stronger to help them. She is sorry for not being stronger. She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley vlogs with Riko&#039;s help. She films herself shopping for Magical Kirin merch and gurokawa items. After editing and uploading the video, she replies to comments from her followers. She thinks about her father and hopes he is watching.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley remembers the day she wanted to study abroad in Japan. Her father refused without giving a clear reason, which was unusual. Kyubey appeared and offered to grant any wish. Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko notices Ashley seems down. She worries Ashley is overworking herself by vlogging daily and replying to comments late at night. Ashley says it does not feel like work because she loves it. She thanks Riko for being a kind friend. They go out to film another vlog.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley continues vlogging daily. She worries about skipping a day because her followers might unfollow her. She wakes up to find Kumanosuke missing. She panics, feeling like her world is ending. Riko arrives with a bento and finds Ashley crying. Ashley explains she lost Kumanosuke. Riko comforts her and says it is okay to skip a vlog.

They decide to search for Kumanosuke.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko suggests Ashley ask her followers for help finding Kumanosuke. During a live stream, a commenter suggests rewatching her previous vlog. Ashley realizes she left Kumanosuke on a chair when she got distracted by a crane machine. They find Kumanosuke on a shelf at the store, dressed in Waloli Gurokawa clothes. Ashley gets him back. She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call|Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wait, You Got It Wrong!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayu Kozue&#039;s most treasured possession is a bear pendant her father carved for her before he died. When a hand-drawn postcard is stolen from the museum where she works, security footage shows her friend Ria at the scene moments later. Mayu cannot reach Ria and suspects a Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~|Wait, You Got It Wrong! / Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While searching for Ria, Mayu encounters Asuka Tatsuki, whose family&#039;s invaluable book of secrets was also stolen. A witness described a blonde girl in a Mizuna uniform—Ria. They find Sayuki Fumino crying over her stolen sword book, then Rena Minami who was bumped by the same girl. At Walnut&#039;s restaurant, Manaka Kurumi accuses Ria of stealing a rice omelet. A Witch barrier appears, and after Mayu and Asuka defeat the Familiars, Ria arrives demanding to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka challenges Ria to a duel over the thefts, and Ria loses. She confesses to something embarrassing, and everyone assumes she means the thefts—but she meant a binder of idol clippings she desperately hopes no one saw. She was only chasing the Witch to recover her own stolen belongings. Relieved, Mayu and Asuka join her. They track and defeat the Witch, recovering most items, but the museum postcard, the dojo book, and Ria&#039;s binder remain missing. They agree to search again tomorrow. That night, Mayu dreams of her father, who tells her material things are destined to break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, thefts continue across the city. Mayu realizes the Witch they defeated was only a Familiar and the real Witch is still out there. She offers her precious pendant as bait to track it. Despite Ria&#039;s protests, Mayu uses it, and they follow the magic trail to the Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After a difficult battle, they recover all stolen items, though Mayu&#039;s pendant is scratched and its chain broken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu is unbothered. She explains that material possessions naturally break, but the memories they hold remain in her heart—a lesson from her father. Asuka and Ria are moved, and Mayu turns to walk home, promptly falls into a lake, and flounders while Ria sighs that she has not changed at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor she calls Miss K. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Miss K with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Miss K&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Miss K to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

===&amp;quot;Let&#039;s hit the Suitoku baths! (Music Collection 1 bonus drama)&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo, Iroha, and Sana prepare a meal. Felicia reluctantly helps. Tsuruno arrives with a flyer for Suitokuyu, a public bathhouse holding an event as part of a shopping district revitalization plan. She invites everyone to go together. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the bathhouse, they read the posted rules. Tsuruno pretends to be a &amp;quot;bathhouse master&amp;quot; and teaches them. Sana becomes embarrassed about being naked in front of everyone. Yachiyo understands her feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Villa. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;
~A Little Break For Us~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===This is The Warmest Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha is going about her day when Sana, Felicia, and Ui present her with a pinwheel and ask her to blow on it. Though confused by their strange behavior, Iroha does as they ask and the girls thank her before quickly scampering off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~#This Is The Warmest Day Login Special|This is The Warmest Day]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts. When Yachiyo asks Iroha&#039;s opinion, Iroha expresses her love for shortcake and suggests they bake one immediately, but Yachiyo insists she wait for the right moment, which will come sooner than she thinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Lavi is shopping when Nayuta finds her to share news about her math test score. They return home where Lavi prepares dinner, and Nayuta discovers Lavi earned perfect scores in every subject, highlighting the gap between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House|The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day while Lavi runs errands, Nayuta confides in Mikage about her fears that Lavi only respects her father and secretly resents serving her. Seeking answers, Nayuta visits Mitama, who suggests that kindness and broad-mindedness are the traits she needs to develop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Nayuta observes how hard Lavi works attending school, studying, handling housework, and fighting witches. Worried she might collapse, Nayuta offers Lavi time off for her upcoming sixteenth birthday and secretly plans a surprise party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later on Lavi&#039;s birthday, Nayuta and Mikage struggle through cleaning the house and preparing a celebration. Their efforts are interrupted when Lavi returns early for lunch, scolds them for the mess, but leaves again at Nayuta&#039;s insistence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Lavi returns that evening, the handmade kusudama falls onto the cake and catches fire. Lavi extinguishes it with water, and Nayuta is left mortified as her surprise party fails spectacularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Nayuta senses lingering coldness from Lavi and struggles to find the right way to apologize. Remembering her father&#039;s example, she decides to catch and cook a fish as an apology gift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day at a fishing center, Nayuta encounters girls from the Tokime clan who teach her how to gut fish. Despite being disturbed by the process, she perseveres and eventually catches the exact fish she wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning home late, Nayuta discovers a threatening letter addressed to Lavi and deduces it must be connected to the serious trouble from Lavi&#039;s hometown. She rushes to the market street with Mikage to protect her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the market street, Nayuta confronts the man speaking with Lavi, declaring herself as Satomi Tasuke&#039;s daughter to intimidate him. The man reveals he is simply a stalker with no connection to Lavi&#039;s past, and when he becomes agitated, Nayuta tackles him unconscious as a crowd applauds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Nayuta presents the cooked fish and apologizes. Lavi admits she was barely angry anymore and thanks Nayuta for protecting her, acknowledging she was just like her father in that moment. Nayuta produces a second kusudama and cake, and this time the celebration succeeds. As they pick confetti from the cake, Lavi quietly says she will continue to admire Nayuta until the final day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune. The Rumor says that if you receive the book and find a drawing of yourself, the sketched event will happen and if you try to stop it, a creature named Ketch drags you into the book. Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One summer morning, Mitama is at her shop and she has set up a small café corner called Hot☆Corner. The cat, Doyle, is especially attached to her lately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery|The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day|Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Rumored Temp Counselor===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

===Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away|Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

Sakuya confesses she killed her best friend in the war and must remain alone to avoid hurting anyone else. Ryoko declares she will save Sakuya by becoming her best friend, and they fight until exhausted. That night, Sakuya dreams of her deceased friend, who thanks her and tells her to move forward. She wakes to find Ryoko collapsed from hunger, and they talk for hours like ordinary friends. Though they agree they cannot meet again until the battles are over, they promise to become true friends then.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin completes her manga, &amp;quot;The Pumpkin King and the Ghost Servant.&amp;quot; She shows it to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede who praise it, giving it 100 points or more.

** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head of the executive committee thanks Karin for recommending Alina as the face of the event. Karin reflects on her hope that Alina will one day atone for her sins and reach a happy ending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kamihama Chocolate Girls===&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka, Sunao, and Chiharu look through a Valentine&#039;s Day feature in Kamihama&#039;s free newspaper. Shizuka is embarrassed to see her photo distributed around town, but Chiharu reassures her the photo is cute and the experience gave them a happy memory. They spot a feature on the chocolate shop Shizuka visited and decide to bring all the Tokime girls next time. The newspaper also includes messages from other magical girls offering homemade chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Bittersweet AI Memory#Kamihama Chocolate Girls|Kamihama Chocolate Girls]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage is delighted to see her photo in the newspaper and finds it funny that the article claims she made chocolate with her sister. Mitama suggests it was artistic license. Mikage wonders if she might become famous but worries about sketchy people, and Mitama jokingly offers to beat them up. Mikage asks if they can make real chocolate together, but Mitama needs to go to her coordinator shop. Mikage promises to do things that make her sister smile instead, and Mitama suggests they make Valentine&#039;s chocolate together next year. Mikage eagerly agrees to practice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choc&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Promised Blood&#039;s base, Yuna notices her teammates have been acting strangely, as Sakuya reads romance columns, Juri studies constantly, and Urara stares at Hikaru without speaking. After the meeting, Yuna confides in Hikaru that she feels guilty for not noticing everyone&#039;s exhaustion and decides to solve each person&#039;s problems personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend. Though relieved it&#039;s not her own love life, Yuna insists on helping anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s place, the group brainstorms confession advice. The conversation shifts when Ao receives a text from her parents—she&#039;s been lying to them about her late nights as a magical girl, claiming she&#039;s in an e-sports tournament. To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the online tournament, chaos ensues as Juri attacks teammates, Hikaru sets the kitchen on fire, and Yuna fails at selling merchandise. Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the student council meeting, Yuna honestly requests more time to handle personal matters, promising to dedicate herself fully afterward. The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka-senpai&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Day in the Life of Madoka-senpai===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

==Magia Record Events==&lt;br /&gt;
===See You Tomorrow===&lt;br /&gt;
* One morning at the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira greets an older neighbor who warns her about increasing danger in the area. Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them. The girl agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, finishing the final preparations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day of the school festival proceeds without major incident. Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, sampling food and enjoying the event. They take a photo together at the repaired arch—Tsumugi, Manaka, and the transfer student in her uniform. The transfer student reflects later that she will cherish the photo forever, grateful for the kindness she did not feel she deserved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

A Witch&#039;s barrier appears around them, and Jun transforms to fight while telling Mitsune to close her eyes.

* The next day, Jun tells Mitsune she is moving next week and that magical girls do not have the kind of magic Mitsune dreams of. Mitsune must make her own dreams come true. Jun promises to prove she does not need magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Jun finds that the children and Mitsune went to explore Shinsei Ward without her. She finds them at an abandoned construction site where Mitsune encountered a Witch.

A gas leak causes a larger explosion, and they escape on Kanae&#039;s motorcycle. Kanae later destroys the Witch barrier herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Jun says goodbye at the shop. Mitsune arrives crying, and Jun gives her a fake gum toy as a farewell gift.

** Tsuruno wins over the production team with her exuberance. The play&#039;s co-star drops out, and the director asks Tsuruno to take the role. She eagerly accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a fairy tale about an ancient Mizuna legend. Two girls, Tsuyu and Chizuru, befriend each other despite their families&#039; rivalry and join forces to punish a selfish lord. Yachiyo plays Tsuyu, the ice queen with a heart of gold. Tsuruno plays Chizuru, the cheerful and impetuous girl. Sayuki plays the Magpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** During the script reading, everyone realizes Yachiyo&#039;s acting skills are still terrible. Yachiyo confides that she has turned down many acting jobs but accepted this one because the director begged her, even if she flops. She vows to see it through to expand her repertoire. Tsuruno promises to stay by her side.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria is in shock seeing her idol perform poorly. The filmmakers work around it by taking away Yachiyo&#039;s lines. Ria confronts Yachiyo and Tsuruno after the reading, declaring she will give Yachiyo an acting bootcamp. She does not want Yachiyo&#039;s performance to drag down her makeup work or her reputation as Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at home, Yachiyo reviews the script. Tsuruno explains the Mizuna fairy tale to the rest of Mikazuki. Felicia becomes interested when she learns there are fight scenes. Tsuruno explains that the day Tsuyu and Chizuru teamed up was Tanabata, and people in Kamihama entrust their wishes to them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next week or so, Yachiyo is drilled on acting with a professional coach and Ria&#039;s guidance. She eventually executes her lines perfectly and Ria is relieved.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sea is a Link Through Time /  The Call of the Open Sea===&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. There&#039;s two different versions at hand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Momoko and Mitama arrive at a resort near a village with a legend about a Diviner who eloped with a sailor and sank with stolen treasure. Mitama reveals they are actually there to hunt for this treasure based on a fairy tale Mikage heard. While exploring the private beach, they encounter Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao from the Tokime Clan, who stumbled there by accident. The group decides to spend the day together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|The Call of the Open Sea]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, they attend a festival in a nearby village that turns out to be a branch of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka learns the villagers consider Diviners a superstition. Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Big Sis, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Felicia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward. Kyubey finds a fuming Felicia, who decides to hire herself out as a mercenary to other magical girls for money or Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Felicia Mitsuki#Side Story|Felicia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia encounters Asuka and Sasara and defeats a witch for them, but they let her keep the Grief Seed and leave without paying, leaving her frustrated. Kako appears, concerned, but Felicia rejects her harshly and immediately regrets it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia helps defeat the witch and collapses from exhaustion, silently vowing to destroy every witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Touka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up.

Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art. The Amanes are relieved, and Tsukuyo suggests they play their flutes at the shrine on the way home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo thinks the flute&#039;s song has always warmed her heart, while Tsukasa reflects it is a bridge connecting her to her sister. Both affirm that their only allies are each other, and they will always be together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends. Before Hibari&#039;s family moved away, she performed a charm ritual on Aru and promised they would meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message that Hibari is coming to visit Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After some confusion about directions, they reach the arcade where Hibari wins a crane game prize and helps Juri win one too. Hibari suddenly becomes pale and goes to get change, but she does not return. Kagome calls her and Hibari thanks her for being friends before saying goodbye, with an ambulance audible in the background.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome discovers a crowd under a Witch&#039;s Kiss heading toward a rooftop and sends emergency messages to every Magical Girl she knows. Himena&#039;s group arrives to help hold back the crowd, but other girls cannot come due to similar incidents elsewhere. Shizuka finally checks her phone and rushes over with the Tokime Clan just as someone threatens to ignite kerosene. They stop the crowd while Juri and Ao defeat the Witch with Livia&#039;s help. The Witch&#039;s Kiss is lifted and Hibari wakes up confused, with Livia covering that she collapsed from anemia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari admits she felt faint because seeing Kagome surrounded by friends made her happy but also made her feel left behind and alone. Kagome insists Hibari is wrong and promises to come running whenever Hibari is in trouble, asking them to stay best friends forever. Hibari reveals the two wishes she made when they parted came true: that she could speak her mind loudly and that Kagome would make lots of friends. They renew their promise to remain best friends forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

They bonded over a shared love of &amp;quot;The Adventure of Mandragora.&amp;quot; Hibari gave Kagome a Mandragora plushie named Al-chan and asked to be friends. Kagome learned ventriloquism through Al-chan and grew more confident. The two became inseparable.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kagome&#039;s family moved due to her father&#039;s job transfer, Hibari put a charm on Al-chan with a secret wish. They promised to meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message from Hibari saying she will visit Kamihama. Kagome prepares to show her around.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives in Kamihama. Kagome is happy to see her. They go to the arcade. On the way, they run into Himena and her group. Kagome introduces Hibari. Later, Kagome helps Shizuka, who was lost and struggling with a foreigner. Hibari is impressed by how much Kagome has grown.&lt;br /&gt;

They promise to remain best friends forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

*Day 2 (Flashback)&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna explains that Juri lost to her and her senpai, which is why she joined Torayamachi. The group hunted Kyubey to stop him from recruiting Magical Girls. Kyubey agreed to leave Futatsugi.

* Day 4&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri struggled at school, frustrated by classmates who avoided conflict and teachers who enabled them. Her anger built up. She reflected on how she became a Magical Girl—she wished for a patient, stout heart to stay in school and not burden her father.

** Hinano explains that because the agreement fell through, local manufacturers like Kanoko’s father stayed in business, so there was little news.

* Hagumu reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. After Walpurgisnacht, the organization dissolved, and many former Feathers joined the Kamihama Magia Union. Hagumu is uncertain, as she believes in Magical Girl Supremacy and cannot accept the Union&#039;s ideology of liberation without sacrifice. Shigure contacts her, asking to meet and talk. Shigure wants to convince Touka and Nemu to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Hagumu is conflicted—she cannot trust the Magius after being exploited, but she also cannot decide what to do. She asks for time to think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hagumu Azumi#Side Story|Hagumu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu meets Maria, a former Magius member who joined the Union. Maria notices Hagumu looks unwell and offers to listen. Hagumu explains her dilemma: she cannot agree with the Union&#039;s ideology, but she also cannot follow Shigure&#039;s plan. Maria suggests Hagumu ask other Magical Girls how they decided. Hagumu recalls her wish was made in haste to save a woman under a Witch&#039;s Kiss, and she regrets not choosing a better wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Moka why she joined the Union. Moka says she joined because she was invited and everyone is kind.

** Hagumu asks Yukika, a former Black Feather, why she declined the Union. Yukika says she did not want to drag others into trouble. Hagumu sees Yukika has strong convictions and follows them, unlike herself. Hagumu feels more discouraged.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches. Hagumu is moved but asks for more time to discuss it with Shigure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She fell in love with the feeling of cutting through the wind and quickly improved, eventually competing in freestyle competitions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Miyuri Yukari#Side Story|Miyuri&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s social anxiety worsened. She began experiencing panic attacks at competitions and could no longer compete. Her parents signed her up with the Hikarizuka Youth Association to help her interact with people. There, she met San for the first time. San invited her to dance practice. Miyuri fainted from overexcitement while watching San&#039;s legs. She realized she had a leg fetish and that it triggered her anxiety. She began avoiding San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish. San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When pressed to share more about herself, Asahi talks about hunting and the importance of minimizing suffering. That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun.

* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

He was strict and had a reputation for being scary. Alexandra remembers how she would complain about him with her classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After club activities, Alexandra wants to practice singing more. She goes to the rooftop and finds the teacher there. He allows her to practice under his supervision. They begin meeting regularly on the rooftop. She learns he does not smoke and is careful about his throat. He mentions that being an adult is not that great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A male classmate confesses to Alexandra. She almost accepts but pictures the teacher&#039;s face and realizes she loves someone else. She rejects the classmate. Later, it rains, and the teacher lends her his towel. She realizes she has fallen in love with him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra begins trying to appeal to the teacher daily. She asks about his relationship status and learns he is single. She indirectly describes him when talking about her type. She leaves a love letter in his shoe locker. He thinks it is a prank but recognizes her handwriting. She keeps trying to convey her feelings, but he never takes her seriously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra&#039;s behavior becomes obvious in class. She eagerly volunteers to answer questions and is overly happy when called on. Her classmates are amazed she can talk to the scary teacher so cheerfully. She learns everyone fears him. She asks why he became a teacher, and he admits his parents were teachers and he had wanted to be a singer but never pursued it. He wonders if there is any meaning to his life. Alexandra feels sorrow and wants him to be happy. She begins planning to improve his reputation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey appears and offers to grant any wish. Alexandra wants to capture the teacher&#039;s heart through her own efforts. She decides not to make a wish yet. She organizes a surprise birthday party for him with her classmates. He is genuinely happy and thanks her. He realizes she planned it. She tells him all the students respect him. He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra continues her jokes and attempts to get closer to the teacher. She jokes about marriage and asks for a date on the school trip. He unexpectedly agrees to go shopping with her for a few minutes. She hugs him in excitement. A classmate spots them on the rooftop. Rumors spread quickly. The principal calls the teacher in. He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra cannot wake up from the dream. She imagines the teacher scolding her for playing with his feelings. She decides she needs to apologize in real life. She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love. She tells him her feelings were not a deception—they were true love. She thanks him for a wonderful time and says she now only places her faith in Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Urara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara volunteers to do grocery shopping for Lavi. At the supermarket, she gets distracted by flash sales and buys beef, bean sprouts, and curry ingredients. She forgets Lavi&#039;s shopping list. Lavi forgives her but asks her to be more self-controlled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Urara Yume#Side Story|Urara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Urara and Lavi travel to Yukuni. Urara loses her wallet, but Lavi finds it. At the agency, Urara&#039;s manager asks her to coach a children&#039;s diabolo class as a final job. Urara accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the diabolo class, Urara teaches the class alone. Some children struggle to follow her teaching style. Lavi, Alexandra, and Asahi watch from a distance. During lunch, Urara admits she cannot explain techniques well. Lavi analyzes the wrist angles and timing, and the others offer to help. The class is a success.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Urara feels inadequate and misses her former partner, Kurara. She remembers Kurara was better at teaching. Lavi notices Urara is depressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At the agency, Urara confronts Kurara. Kurara reveals she always resented being compared to Urara&#039;s natural talent and felt like &amp;quot;Not-Urara.&amp;quot; She says breaking up the duo was for the best and asks Urara to stop involving herself. Urara is devastated. She returns to Kamihama and cries to Lavi, who comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Urara receives a message from her manager. A girl named Rei from the diabolo class wants more lessons. Urara agrees to meet her. Rei wants to learn the &amp;quot;Urara Special&amp;quot; to beat a prodigy her age. Urara remembers how she unknowingly hurt Kurara by copying her tricks too easily. She decides to coach Rei properly. Lavi offers to stay and help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara and Rei practice together. Lavi advises on timing. Rei successfully performs the trick. Urara tells her to remember the joy of performing, not just winning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rei competes and wins her first cup by performing the Urara Special, a trick even the prodigy could not do. Rei thanks Urara. Urara realizes that coaching helped her grow and face her regrets about Kurara. Rei asks Urara to be her permanent coach. Urara agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Nayuta&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta dreams of proving folkloric studies superior to Touka, but Lavi wakes her with obnoxious humming. Lavi scolds her for being a deep sleeper and rushes her to school in Takarazaki City, where Nayuta complains that Lavi acts like a stern stepmother rather than a kind maid her age.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In class, a self‑assessment exercise has Nayuta describe herself as quiet and diligent, but her peers call her stubborn, someone who hates losing and speaks her mind. She reluctantly accepts “stubborn” fits her persistent search for her father. The teacher introduces the Johari Window, explaining that without communication people understand themselves at most fifty percent and others only twenty‑five percent—a lesson that sticks with Nayuta.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Nayuta meets Iroha at the train station. Both are surprised the other remembers them. They discover they are the same grade and both hail from Takarazaki, and Iroha mentions she also searched for a lost loved one. Nayuta requests to see Yachiyo, apologizing for her bluntness. Iroha reassures her, noting they are both stubborn junior‑high girls from Takarazaki who came to Kamihama to find someone important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Yachiyo has no new information about Nayuta’s father. Tsuruno has Nayuta show a photo, but no one recognizes him. Felicia suggests Nayuta simply ask Touka, since she also grew up at Satomi Medical Center. Nayuta refuses, saying she cannot trust Touka, and apologizes for her stubbornness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Nayuta admits to Lavi she slept poorly because she cannot stop thinking about Touka. Mikage arrives, upset after a fight with Sudachi: Mikage complained about school, Sudachi said she envied Mikage for being able to attend, and they argued over whose position was harder.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home. Lavi approves of her standing her ground, and Nayuta realizes she and Lavi are more alike than she thought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At the center, Emiri, Sasara, Asuka, and Kanoko are delighted to meet Mitama’s little sister. Mikage explains she is looking for a friend, but Emiri points out they are already her friends. After some banter about fashion, Mikage tries on Kanoko’s outfits and has a wonderful time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mikage wonders if the older girls truly see her as a friend or just as a kid. Himika suggests she meet girls her own age like Ui, Touka, and Nemu, though Mikage is uncertain about befriending the geniuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When she returns home, Mitama warns her that Ui has been kidnapped by Promised Blood and forbids Mikage from associating with the Kamihama Magia Union. Mikage reluctantly agrees but is frustrated her efforts to make friends have been stopped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama leaves for work and Mikage accuses her of hypocrisy—Mitama can spend time with the KMU while Mikage cannot. She runs out, declaring she will find a new big sister. She finds Emiri’s office closed but runs into Rika and Ren, who quickly realize she is Mitama’s sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Mikage bond over fashion and go to some cheap stores, where Mikage realizes she left her wallet. They play a crane game instead, and Rika wins stuffed animals for Ren and Mikage. Mikage asks Rika to be her big sister; Rika declines but encourages her to talk to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory. Kanoko lets her help make a pendant, but before Mikage can convince her to become her sister, Mitama arrives and drags her home. Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any. Later, she finds Mitama has made all her favorite foods, and they reconcile off‑screen; Mikage gives Mitama the pendant she made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage declares she will not give up on making Kamihama Magia Union friends. She then decides that since Lavi and Nayuta are older, they can be her big sisters instead. They exchange a look and agree to treat her for one day. Mikage expresses her hope that someday she and Sudachi can play with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide.

===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After the battle, Nanaka explains Lil&#039; Kyubey followed her into the labyrinth and returned a flower she dropped. Nanaka asks Ryo to tell Lil&#039; Kyubey to stop visiting unfriendly Magical Girls. Ryo realizes Lil&#039; Kyubey avoids girls with potential and is not soliciting anyone.

This is also belonging to the anime partly. Write the main part on the magia record and then the second part on the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices. Kyubey, whom she calls a talking cat, keeps urging her to make a contract, but she does not know what to wish for—though she finds herself wishing God could speak to humans like Kyubey does.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the boy reads the fairy tale Kuroe recommended. He questions a detail in the story, but Kuroe simply accepts it because the writer says so. He jokes that he feels alive because Kuroe thinks so deeply, meaning it as a compliment. Later a teacher asks about her high school plans; Kuroe claims she has decided, but she is merely following her family’s expectations and secretly does not want to go to high school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe dreams of Iroha, though she cannot understand her words. Her Doppel reflects that her contract gave her affirmation of existence, yet she still does not feel like anyone - she simply adapts to whatever situation she is in, resented by no one and dependent on no one, but still wondering who she should be.

Kuroe wakes up wondering why she dreamed of the camping trip, and she calls Iroha, deciding she wants to connect with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroeds&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Doppel Story|Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sasara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara is taken hostage at knifepoint in a convenience store. Despite her desire to be a knight, she is too terrified to act. Though the police arrest the criminal and she is safe, Sasara feels ashamed and hates herself for her cowardice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sasara Minagi#Side Story|Sasara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sasara meets Kyubey and when he makes his offer, Sasara accepts without hesitation. As her father works for an emergency rescue squad, a job she admires, he gave her a favorite picture book about a knight who defeats a dragon to save a village. Sasara carries this book everywhere and has always wanted to be like her father and the knight. She wishes to become a knight who can protect and save people, asking for a stronger heart and stronger convictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Sasara has been hunting witches and saving their victims ever since making her contract. She calls herself the Knight who protects the people of Kamihama, but over time her feelings become tainted. The people she rescues never remember what happened and do not acknowledge her. Sasara realizes she wants someone to appreciate her and questions whether she really wanted to become a knight at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book. She thought she could accept the people she helped not talking to her, but now it feels like she does not even exist. When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nanaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Needs to be re-checked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako to ask for their help fighting a witch they all share a connection to. To explain why she needs them, Nanaka tells them how she became a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka&#039;s father headed a traditional Japanese flower arranging school, but when he fell ill, senior students took over and grew the school&#039;s popularity while abandoning its traditions, shutting out Nanaka&#039;s family entirely. On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform. She decided to lay the Soul Gem with its owner&#039;s body, and when she placed the gem in the girl&#039;s hands, the girl began breathing again. Later, Kyubey explained that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Kyubey asks if Nanaka will tell the others this secret, but she says she is waiting for the right moment. Nanaka then reflects that her true revenge target is actually Kyubey himself. Her power makes it clear he is her enemy, though she does not know all the details, and she is waiting for the right time to turn against him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Nanaka&#039;s team is still unable to find the witch. Akira reports meeting a magical girl mercenary. As the girls plan their next move, Nanaka muses about how she is gathering the determination of magical girls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuku enjoys time with her friends but feels disconnected from them and uncertain about her future. She finds comfort in Fūnī, a traveler who visits her family&#039;s cafe and shares his dream of finding a place to belong. When he invites her to search with him, she feels hopeful that she will not be alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She stays for dinner and overnight, observing how the five girls live together like a family. Yachiyo invites her to stay as long as she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The next day, Shizuku ends her arrangement with the unknown magical girl and returns to Yachiyo&#039;s house, hoping she can stay there. When she arrives, the house is empty, and she sees the personal items that mark each girl&#039;s place. Overhearing them return, she realizes their home is complete with five people and she does not belong there. She leaves quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Shizuku returns to the unknown magical girl and asks for more work. When asked why she came back, she says their picture was complete with five people and she must keep searching for where she belongs. She mentally apologizes to Yachiyo, knowing her actions will cause disaster but feeling unprepared to take responsibility. She wonders if she will ever find solid ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After Nanaka and Sasara contracts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Akira wakes from a dream about being attacked by a familiar and finds Sasara Minagi nearby, who is out for a walk. Sasara offers to help Akira search for an old man&#039;s lost cane, recalling she saw children playing with a red cane, and the two head off together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akira Shinobu#Side Story|Akira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The day Akira found the barrier, she retraced the girl&#039;s steps in the park and stepped into a witch&#039;s labyrinth. She found the missing girl among blank-faced victims marked by a Witch&#039;s Kiss.

She dreams of following her father&#039;s footsteps as a chef and believes that gaining admission to the prestigious St. Lillianna Academy will help her cook like a high class lady and restore the restaurant&#039;s popularity. Kyubey notes her poor grades make passing unlikely, but Manaka insists this is her father&#039;s last chance and resolves to study.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Manaka Kurumi#Side Story|Manaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Sana accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana promises to arrive earlier tomorrow, but Manaka reveals this may be her last day selling bentos.

Seeing Sana smile gives Manaka new motivation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After contracts of: Kako, Manaka&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A documentary crew follows Ria Ami, whose natural beauty causes crowds to part, though she admits she has no basis for comparison when asked about her challenges. Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ria asks Manaka to be her bodyguard while buying the magazine featuring her article, wearing sunglasses to avoid being seen. Inside, she discovers her article occupies only one page, while Yachiyo has an eight-page spread. Furious and convinced Yachiyo did it on purpose, Ria tears the magazine in half, and the clerk charges her for it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;riass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ria Ami#Side Story|Ria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Five days later, Tsumugi has been training with Ria&#039;s help, visiting different restaurants and improving her reviews. Her blog has gained more followers. Meanwhile, Manaka feels she hasn&#039;t reached her father&#039;s level as a chef but refuses to discuss it, insisting a chef cannot ask a diner for advice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and Ria eat at Walnuts. Manaka is surprised by Tsumugi&#039;s improved reviews and lifts any implied ban. Tsumugi wants to fill Walnuts with people, but Manaka says she prefers just Tsumugi coming to enjoy her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the event, Tsumugi cries and confesses disappointment that none of her followers came, feeling she is just an average student with no unique qualities.

** Nearby, Rika defeats a Witch and sees Ren about to jump. She saves her and asks why she wants to die. Ren cannot answer. She reflects on her childhood: she has always had trouble speaking and was teased and bullied for it. She attempted suicide once before but was scared of dying. Kyubey appeared and granted her wish to live.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explained that the bullying was caused by a Witch&#039;s influence—Witches hurt people, who then hurt others. Ren resolved to destroy Witches to create a better world. However, no matter how many Witches she defeated, people still acted cruelly. Kyubey told her that even destroying all Witches would not remove malice from people&#039;s hearts. This is why Ren wanted to die again, but she cannot explain any of this to Rika.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika takes Ren to meet other Magical Girls. At Emiri&#039;s Trouble Consultation Office, Ren meets Akira but cannot introduce herself and nearly cries. Emiri brings her to Ria, who gives her hand cream, and Konomi, who gives her chamomile tea. Rika then takes Ren to the chemistry club, where Hinano gives her candy instead of medicine.

Emiri leaves, and Rika admits she never actually listened to Ren&#039;s problem.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika shares her own story: she wished for someone she loved to love her back, even though that person already liked someone else. She says she stole that love with a selfish wish and asks Ren if she thinks she is a horrible person. Ren manages to say she does not think so. Rika is relieved. She explains that to get others to open up, you must share the secrets that create distance.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren tries to tell her story but cannot get the words out and begins crying. Rika tells her not to force herself. She shows Ren all the gifts she received from the others and says that if all these people were thinking about her, she should continue to live. She says the world is filled with both bad and beautiful things, and the most painful thing is to have nothing. Ren says she will live. Rika leaves, and Ren thanks her. Ren thinks that if Rika can accept her story, she will be able to live forever.&lt;br /&gt;

Hazuki offers to handle meals from now on, which prompts Konoha to resolve that she will learn to make delicious food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konoha Shizumi#Side Story|Konoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha buys cookware and studies cooking theory, suspecting Hazuki might be a cooking prodigy. She makes a disastrous meal incorporating everything she read, and Hazuki collapses after tasting it. Ayame brings home a flyer for a cooking class at &amp;quot;Youshoku Walnuts,&amp;quot; noting that the food there made Hazuki cry.

* Another day, Konoha meets the teacher, Manaka Kurumi, at the restaurant. Manaka attempts to teach knife skills and how to crack eggs, but Konoha struggles with both. Manaka promises to help her improve. She has Konoha make practice dishes, but Konoha burns oil, over-dashes rice, and explodes miso soup, so Manaka has to take over each time. When finished, Manaka tastes it, insists it&#039;s good to protect her reputation, eats it all, and passes out. Konoha tries the leftovers and confirms it is truly terrible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha hunts a witch with her team while distracted by thoughts about cooking.

When Ayame asks about being an older sister, Himika invites her to meet her family. Konoha asks to come as Ayame&#039;s guardian upon learning Himika cooks for her family, and Himika accepts. Hazuki says she will prepare dinner at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, at Himika&#039;s house, Konoha and Ayame observe the cramped living space. Himika explains she uses cheap leftover meat blends from a disposal man to feed her family. She serves dinner, and all her siblings along with Ayame eat. When Konoha asks if the food is tasty, the siblings say they never think it&#039;s bad because Himika does her best. Konoha reflects on Azalea&#039;s House and realizes she was too focused on theory rather than on who she was cooking for. She thanks Himika and leaves with Ayame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, Ayame and Hazuki find Konoha cooking again. Konoha promises to give up if she fails this time. Focusing on her feelings rather than theory, she makes a meal from Azalea&#039;s. Hazuki and Ayame try it and say it&#039;s bad, but it&#039;s edible. Konoha is excited that someone could actually eat her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ayame returns home to find Konoha cooking again. Hazuki observes that Konoha has found joy in the act of cooking.

===Hazuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame meet with Nanaka, Meiyui, Akira, and Kako at a restaurant to discuss how to handle situations where both teams target the same Witch. Meiyui proposes a first-come, first-served rule, but Hazuki points out it would lead to disputes over who arrived first. Ayame suggests settling conflicts with rock-paper-scissors, and though Meiyui argues there&#039;s no time for games in battle, Hazuki has them try it on the spot. When Ayame and Meiyui play, Meiyui uses a martial arts technique to change Ayame&#039;s hand, causing an argument between the groups. Hazuki calms everyone down and suggests they go home for the day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hazuki Yusa#Side Story|Hazuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls reconvene at the restaurant. Hazuki proposes a new rule: anyone who uses magic against a Witch gains proportional rights to the Grief Seed. Both teams agree, and Hazuki suggests they gather data by hunting together. They split into mixed teams—Ayame and Kako form one; Hazuki, Akira, and Meiyui another and Konoha and Nanaka stand by to help as needed. After the successful joint hunt, Nanaka meets with Hazuki alone at the restaurant. She reveals she believes Hazuki manipulated the entire situation from the first meeting, noting that her team was impressed with Hazuki&#039;s group&#039;s teamwork but that she herself was more struck by Hazuki&#039;s modus operandi. Nanaka asks why Hazuki orchestrated everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki admits she wanted Konoha, who is introverted, to connect with others and that after the Witch fight, Konoha seemed genuinely happy. She explains her goal was simply to build connections between her group and other Kamihama Magical Girls. Nanaka accepts this and says she&#039;s glad to work with her. Later, Hazuki writes in her notebook that Nanaka is shrewd but fascinating, and she resolves to continue reaching out to other Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ayame&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame encounters Felicia during a Witch fight, and their rivalry quickly escalates when Felicia dismisses Ayame&#039;s challenge to lead the girls to argue and accidentally let the Witch escape. Frustrated by losing to Felicia specifically, Ayame confronts her afterward, and despite Kako&#039;s attempts to mediate, the two insist on settling things through some competition. Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch. Emerging back in the park, Felicia thanks Ayame, and they realize the race was never finished. They resume, but Ayame admits she&#039;s fine with not winning and she has come to accept Felicia as a strong rival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ayamess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ayame Mikuri#Side Story|Ayame&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She became a magical girl thinking her dull life might finally become interesting, but even that eventually grew boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead.

** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help.

Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her.

Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mayu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mayu is a third-year student at Mizuna Academy who works part-time at the Kamihama Contemporary Art Museum. When she accidentally breaks the museum director&#039;s cup, her boss handles the situation calmly and kindly. After work, she meets her friend Sayuki Fumino outside the museum, and when Sayuki cannot stay, Mayu&#039;s boss offers to accompany her to an exhibit instead. They later go to a cafe, where Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi are also present. Ria grows increasingly annoyed overhearing Mayu&#039;s conversation with her boss, particularly when he hints at wanting to take her somewhere else and praises her cooking. At home that evening, Mayu cooks for her mother and asks if her father would have eaten her cooking, wondering what life would be like if he were still alive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayu Kozue#Side Story|Mayu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at school, Mayu talks with Sayuki about the sword exhibit. She then heads to work, and after her shift ends, her boss mentions his wife and child are away and invites her out to eat. Mayu declines. As she leaves, she forgets her phone, and her boss rushes to return it, asking again about dinner with growing intensity. Ria suddenly appears and bumps into him, yelling at them for flirting and demanding they sit for a lecture. Mayu&#039;s boss says she ruined it and leaves. Ria warns Mayu that her sweet, innocent air attracts older men and that if things continue, his family will fall apart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home that night, Mayu reflects on the day she learned of her father&#039;s death and on Ria&#039;s words. Kyubey appears and offers a contract. Thinking she does not want her boss&#039;s family to suffer the same hardship her family did, Mayu makes her wish: to stop his family from breaking apart. That night, she narrates that her boss transferred to a new job, and she is sure her wish was granted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later at school, Mayu finds boys have started hitting on her. Ria constantly steps in to drive them off. Before Ria can finish telling Mayu to shape up, they both sense a Witch. The girls reveal they are Magical Girls, and they track the Witch to the museum&#039;s special exhibit room. Sayuki suddenly appears and reveals she is also a Magical Girl. During the fight, Mayu notices the Witch only targets Ria. She asks Sayuki to lend her strength and launches a surprise attack, destroying the Witch. Afterward, Mayu thinks that to protect people she must think clearly before acting, and Ria admits Mayu was more reliable than usual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As a child, Sayuki attends an idol performance with her parents, but when the crowd becomes dangerously wild, she is almost squeezed to death, leaving her with lasting trauma.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayuki Fumino#Side Story|Sayuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Growing up in a happy family, Sayuki develops a deep interest in katanas that creates a gap between her and her classmates. Though they respect her passion, she feels lonely without someone to share it with. This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert. Sayuki believes speaking out is important no matter the outcome and swears to protect the kind people who have been kind to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka. Moka thanks Alina for saving her and says she has now made new friends, resolving to devote herself to exterminating witches and admitting she is only a little afraid of them now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Riko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Sis = Miss K. Check what Exedra says&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Years ago, Riko spent her childhood with a cheerful older neighbor girl she called &amp;quot;Sis&amp;quot; while her parents worked long hours at their family bento shop. They grew as close as sisters until Sis became engaged to marry someone far away. When Sis&#039;s father suddenly opposed the match despite approving it before, Riko wished upon Kyubey that everyone would give their blessings to the marriage. Her wish worked, and Sis moved away happily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Riko Chiaki#Side Story|Riko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Riko struggles with loneliness waiting alone at home while her parents work overtime. One night, after they call to say they cannot return until after midnight due to a huge order, years of broken promises finally overwhelm her. She snaps, calls them liars who were never there for her like Sis was, and tells them she hates them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko goes Witch hunting to vent her stress but nearly dies against a stronger Witch. In that moment, despair crushes her and she wishes she had never made her wish so Sis would still be there. Tsukasa, a regular at her family&#039;s shop, finds her crying and listens as Riko confides everything about her feelings and what happened with Sis. Speaking from experience, Tsukasa tells her that separation is no excuse for broken contact and recommends she reach out to Sis directly. Riko messages Sis that night before falling asleep exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sis replies promptly. She explains she wanted to contact Riko but left home after arguing with her father and thought a visit would be awkward. She also reveals she was hospitalized to give birth and only discharged that day, inviting Riko to come see her instead. When Riko asks her parents for permission, expecting them to refuse, they apologize sincerely and grant permission for the trip.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Riko visits Sis with her parents. Sis introduces her husband and newborn daughter, hoping Riko will get along with her child just as they once got along. Riko makes a silent promise to be a good sister to this baby and aims to grow into a fine lady, just like Sis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maria&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Maria bids her parents goodbye for the day. Her mother gives her money for dinner, which Maria insists on keeping only a small portion of, and Maria mentions she will be at her part‑time daycare job after school. On her way to school, she runs into two little girls, one of whom attends the daycare where she works.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the daycare, the children swarm Maria with requests. She notices a boy named Shin‑kun looking down and tries to find out what is wrong, but he does not want to talk. Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work. Maria suggests she spend a day with Shin to reconnect, and Shin’s mother agrees. Maria promises to put together a plan by the weekend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Maria’s classmates tease her about being a widow with a love child, and she plays along before explaining she is helping a mother and son from the daycare. Later she presents her weekend plans to Shin’s mother, who is impressed and begins looking forward to the outing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, Maria goes to the park where she knows Shin and his mother should be. She watches as they struggle to connect: Shin wants to play in a fountain, but his mother cannot explain why he should not, and they end up standing awkwardly. Maria pretends to run into them and decides to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to the playground, where Maria encourages Shin to try a tightrope bridge. When he gets nervous, she prompts his mother to take his hand, and together they cross. After lunch, Shin’s mother gets a call from work asking her to come in on her day off. She agrees, and Shin looks heartbroken. Maria offers to watch Shin until dark, and his mother gratefully accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria takes Shin to various places, and he sadly remarks that his mother is too busy for him. Understanding his loneliness, Maria vows to make the day special. At the aquarium she convinces him to see a show he ends up loving. As evening falls, they stop for takoyaki, and Maria explains that his mother tells him not to eat while walking for good reasons. Shin finally understands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shin’s mother appears, explaining work no longer needs her. She admits she has trouble expressing herself, but Shin overhears and hugs her. They both confess they thought the other did not love them. Maria shares that she was often lonely as a child but still loved her parents, and she tells Shin’s mother she does not need to be perfect. Shin shows his mother the souvenir and the last piece of takoyaki he saved for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As darkness falls, Maria walks home alone. She reflects on whether she could ever be a good mother, remembering Kyubey’s revelation that her Soul Gem is her actual soul and her body is merely a vessel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mel&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mel stays home after her reading warns of lethal danger, but Kanagi dismisses her concerns and drags her to school anyway. On the way, a Witch targets only Mel before escaping, and a possessed car then attempts to run her down. She flees west into the Mizuno region, where Yachiyo saves her. Despite Kanagi&#039;s warnings about discrimination from the West, Yachiyo&#039;s kindness puts her at ease, and Mel accepts her invitation to stay. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she requests to join Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kanagi gives permission. From that day, Mel bonds with Mifuyu, Tsuruno, and Momoko as part of her new team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Despite Yachiyo&#039;s skepticism, Mel coaxes her into a session predicting a career breakthrough.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes. Afterward they visit Mitama, who suggests they train in Endless Mirrors if they plan to remain independent rather than join Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Temari and Mikura commute to school exhausted.

** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Temari is distracted thinking about Witch strategies while Mikura worries about Seira, who had fallen asleep in class from exhaustion. Seira joins them, and Temari suggests they create their own space to escape the stress of magical girl life. Seira proposes forming a school club where they can pursue their hobbies freely, and they agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Seira secures an empty classroom as a provisional club room under the name Historical Research Club. On paper they study history, but in reality it becomes their oasis for reading, watching films, and relaxing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the girls are enjoying their club activities, yet Temari still feels unsettled about not knowing her magic. Mikura reflects that they have been following Temari’s suggestions lately—staying independent, creating the club—but says she will mention it if she notices anything. When Mikura asks what Temari is reading, Temari replies she is still on the same author, and Mikura calls her as unpredictable as ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hotori lies to the teachers and searches the forest. She finds Kyubey, who offers her a contract: any wish in exchange for becoming a magical girl who fights witches. When she finds Rion acting strangely, Kyubey explains Rion has a witch’s kiss. Rion enters a witch’s barrier, and Hotori follows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Terrified but thinking of Dragoon Red’s words, Hotori makes her wish: “I wish to be a hero strong enough to protect Rion.” She defeats the witch alone, saves Rion, and is relieved when her sister wakes up safe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Months later, Hotori now fights witches with a team. During one battle she freezes and is saved by Rion and Yukika Nanase. Yukika asks about Hotori’s notebook, and Hotori explains she wants to be brave like the sentai heroes. Yukika privately knows the truth from another timeline: the twins’ memories were altered by Rion’s wish, and Hotori’s original wish may have been to become strong enough to protect Rion. Hotori, unaware, continues striving to be a hero.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* At her new school, Sakurako meets Hinano Miyako, who warns her not to mention being a Rumor in class. During introductions, Sakurako announces she is here to learn about human society, is technically zero years old, and has been assigned an age to match her appearance.

Haruto got angry at Akari for speaking ill of someone she did not know. Akari ran away, feeling she was not worthy of him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari hid in an alley. Haruto came looking for her. A Witch appeared, and Haruto was under another Witch&#039;s Kiss. Hotaru appeared and caught Haruto with a pillow before he could jump. Hotaru and Akari defeated the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotaru revealed she had been watching over Akari since the bunny hutch. She told Akari that her kindness was one of her good points. Akari realized the 16-year-old version Haruto fell for was still a part of her. Hotaru encouraged her to apologize properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari, still in her 16-year-old form, lied to Haruto that she had taken Akari under her protection. Haruto was relieved and admitted he was too harsh with Akari. He said he did not want her to become someone who speaks ill of others. Akari apologized to Haruto in person. Haruto forgave her and said he was proud of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari resolved to become a wonderful adult on her own, without magic, and capture Haruto&#039;s heart when she was truly 16. She thanked Hotaru for giving her the push to apologize but Hotaru fell asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ryoko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryoko’s story begins at Suitoku Temple, the Tokime Tribe’s base, which was slated for demolition while officials hid the harm it would cause. Though she is from a neighboring town, Ryoko is bound to the tribe by blood, and she makes a wish to disclose the demolition details—saving the temple. Raised by her grandfather in a strict Buddhist temple, she is told her mother was a hero who saved the country yet died and left her behind. Ryoko grows to resent heroism, viewing it as empty fame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Her cynicism is tested when Moka Megumi tries to save a drowning kitten despite being unable to swim. Ryoko rescues her and asks why; Moka says she simply cannot stand someone dying on her watch. Ryoko does not take her seriously at first, still believing people play the hero only to be seen as one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The turning point comes when her grandfather plays a recording of her mother’s final message. Her mother worked in intelligence, gathering intel on domestic terrorists, and when backup failed to arrive, she acted alone to prevent a war. The revelation shatters Ryoko’s old beliefs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She accepts the Tokime Tribe’s invitation—something she had previously refused. Her grandfather already knows she is a magical girl.

===Kush&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama’s adjuster shop, Karin Misono finds Kush sleeping inside the tent. Mitama explains that Kush cannot stay awake during the day due to her wish: “I just want the morning to never come.” Kush reveals she made her wish because she longed to live in a fantasy world like the one in her favorite book, &#039;Good‑Bye Fable,&#039; and her magical girl outfit resembles the story’s protagonist. Ui Tamaki and Little Kyubey arrive, and Kush briefly attacks Little Kyubey, mistaking him for the Kyubey she despises. Over tea, Mitama notices Kush’s long canine teeth stained red and later receives a message from her sister Mikage about a rumor of a vampire girl in the Hokuyo Mountains. Karin and Kush agree to investigate together, but Kush runs off to her night class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, the two meet up with Riko Chiaki and Ashley Taylor, who are making a horror video about the same rumor. The group searches the mountains at night. Kush can see in the dark and leads them, but she is still sleepy. They find a discarded camera containing a video of Rui Mizuki dropping it and disappearing. When a mysterious sound frightens the others, they accidentally leave Kush behind. Left alone, Kush eats cherry tomatoes and senses a witch. The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one. They also learn that Rui is Kush’s friend; she had filmed Kush entering the barrier before being caught by it. The group later glimpses a white‑haired silhouette and flees, thinking a real vampire might exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley posts a video warning others to stay away from the mountains. At Mitama’s shop, Ui hears about the incident and learns the vampire was just a misunderstanding. Meanwhile, Chika Aoba, whose animal traps and axe cuts the group had found, decides to move her work farther from the trails so she does not frighten anyone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Homura Akemi in Magia Record#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is flooded with more memories of her other self preparing for Walpurgisnacht with allies. She wonders if there might be a real possibility for salvation in this timeline, where no one has to be sacrificed. However, she believes it has nothing to do with her. She breaks out of the labyrinth and the dream ends. Kyubey asks if she was curious about what happened to her other self. Homura says it does not matter; she believes in Madoka&#039;s words that her efforts will not be in vain. A new universe is about to be born, and Homura must protect it for Madoka&#039;s sake. Kyubey states they will both forget Madoka, but Homura is determined to never forget her.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new universe where Witches do not exist, Kyoko is surprised to find Sayaka has disappeared. Mami explains the Law of Cycles causes Magical Girls to disappear when they lose hope. Homura cries as she remembers Madoka, but neither Mami nor Kyoko know who Madoka is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka spend the day together in Kamihama, enjoying each other’s company until they encounter Ria Ami, a model and magical girl who has already defeated the witch they were tracking. Ria invites them to tea and later takes them to the fashion district, where she notices that Homura’s attention never leaves Madoka. Admitting her jealousy, Ria says she wishes someone would look at her the same way, and Homura replies that she will protect Madoka. After Ria departs, Homura thinks that even if Madoka does not realize how cool she is, she will still save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Homura steals weapons from a group called the Soukaihou using her time stop, but she is caught afterward by Meiyui Chun, a magical girl affiliated with the group. Instead of punishing her, Meiyui thanks her for taking weapons that belonged to troublemakers and invites Homura to share mapo tofu. Over the meal, Meiyui learns Homura fights to protect someone precious to her and says she understands, offering her support and suggesting the spicy dish whenever the burden becomes too painful to bear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Homura is practicing her shooting alone when Natsuki Utsuho, a magical girl who cheers for others, offers to encourage her. Natsuki deduces Homura’s time stop ability and gives advice that significantly improves her aim. When Natsuki suggests Homura ask Mami to coach her, Homura calls, and Mami arrives within an hour. Mami uses her ribbons to move within Homura’s time stop during a sparring match, praising her rapid progress afterward. Homura agrees to return to Mitakihara with Mami, reflecting that she will keep moving forward to become a magical girl capable of protecting Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Sayaka arrives in Kamihama City to go shopping with Kyosuke Kamijou, though she insists it is not a date. When she hears a scream, she runs toward it and discovers Hinano Miyako at an empty elementary school. Hinano explains she was bumped on the head while setting up the chemistry lab, and Sayaka decides to help investigate. They find the culprit was a baseball that flew through the window from the baseball club practicing outside. Hinano returns the ball to a child and gives Sayaka a perfume she made, wishing her good luck on her date despite Sayaka&#039;s protests.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later in the shopping district, Emiri Kisaki approaches Sayaka, drawn by the perfume. After realizing Sayaka is not Hinano, Emiri offers to coordinate her wardrobe, claiming to be the &amp;quot;Cutest in the World.&amp;quot; Sayaka learns Emiri is also a magical girl but remains unsatisfied with the outfit suggestions, explaining the person she likes does not care about appearances. Emiri takes her to the top of a tower, where they view the city at night. Sayaka thanks her before heading to the train station, reflecting that her love is supported by the magical girls of Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the outing with Kyosuke arrives. After buying a CD, Kyosuke messages that his train is delayed. Sayaka fights a Witch she senses and meets Kokoro Awane, defeating it together. With time to spare, Kokoro invites her for tea. Sayaka shares that she became a magical girl to heal someone she loves, and Kokoro reveals she wished to bring her family together. Though problems remain, Kokoro believes she can unite them through her own power, and Sayaka finds strength in her words. When Kyosuke is about to arrive, Kokoro encourages her, and Sayaka runs to the station, feeling it will be a good day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day in Kamihama, Mami saves Kanoko Yayoi from familiars, and Kanoko explains her dream is to become a fashion designer.

* On a later day, Mami is approached at a cafe by Rika Ayano, who admires her fighting style and asks to be friends. They spend the day shopping and at an arcade, and Mami admits she has not enjoyed herself like this in a while. Rika reminds Mami of Kyoko Sakura, and Mami reflects on her friendships in Mitakihara. They exchange contact information and agree to hang out again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, after Mami fights off familiars, Nanaka Tokiwa confronts her, having heard rumors about the strongest Magical Girl from Mitakihara. Nanaka wants to team up or fight her, and Akira Shinobu arrives, also eager to challenge Mami based on exaggerated rumors. Mami agrees to fight them on one condition: they have tea with her first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kyoko admits she enjoys the cooking and promises to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kyokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura in Magia Record#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Ultimate&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart. She also finds Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, who were never supposed to become magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Panicking because she cannot prevent magical girls from becoming witches in this universe, Madoka investigates. She discovers the source blocking her intervention originated when the Holy Quintet first visited Kamihama, and she observes how Touka and Nemu—fated to die in every other universe—are alive and plotting with the Magius to lure Walpurgis Night to hatch Eve. Madoka reflects that their plan, if successful, would achieve what she herself accomplished. Unsure whether to intervene, she decides to investigate further and chooses Iroha as her next focal point, since this is the only universe where Iroha contracted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka observes Iroha’s past and finds the singular difference: on a normal day, Iroha took her usual shortcut but accidentally kicked a small pebble, nearly making her late. This tiny butterfly effect led to Iroha contracting and Ui, Nemu, and Touka surviving, derailing the universe’s fate. Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka decides not to interfere, fearing a clash that could destroy the universe. However, she laments that she may have no choice but to trample Iroha’s wish if this universe, now a singularity, threatens the stability of all other universes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* After contracting with Kyubey, Oriko foresees Madoka becoming Kriemhild Gretchen and ending the world. To prevent this, she begins manipulating events and people around her. She uses Yuma Chitose as a distraction to keep Kyubey away from Madoka, then later convinces Yuma to contract by claiming Kyoko is in danger. Oriko also recruits Kirika Kure as her pawn. When Kirika kills another magical girl, Oriko decides to use the murders to further distract Kyubey from Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Oriko Mikuni in Magia Record#Side Story|Oriko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Oriko has another vision revealing that Madoka is not in Mitakihara but somewhere else entirely. She witnesses a spatial distortion connecting Mitakihara to Kamihama City and begins to suspect Kamihama might hold the key to changing the future. Oriko sends Kirika to Kamihama under the pretense of buying tea, instructing her to gather information from Mami and other magical girls there. She then takes Yuma to Kamihama herself, leaving her inside a witch barrier knowing Kyoko will come to rescue her. While exploring Kamihama for answers, Oriko nearly dies inside a powerful witch barrier and realizes she needs Kirika&#039;s help to continue. Kirika eventually returns home safely, reporting that Mami and Kyoko are also investigating Kamihama and that the city has an unusually high number of witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Mitama realizes she has no plans for holding a party and no one is visiting. Just as she is feeling lost, the Mikazuki Villa team visits, bringing a beautiful kimono and New Year&#039;s food. They say it is their way to thank Mitama for her help. With Yachiyo&#039;s help, Mitama puts on the kimono and is touched by their actions. Momoko, Kaede, Rena, Asuka, and Sasara also visit. The kimono was chosen by everyone for Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;
** They have a great time, and Mitama is greatly touched. Although she feels a little lonely when everyone returns home, she is filled with warmth and happiness and thinks this will be a great year for everyone.&lt;br /&gt;

===Shizuka&#039;s First Sunrise Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Shizuka Tokime (First Sunrise)#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s First Sunrise Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryoko is surprised Shizuka has never eaten soba on New Year&#039;s Eve. Shizuka becomes curious and considers attending a soba-making workshop. Chiharu and Sunao arrive wearing new haregi. Shizuka reveals she does not have a haregi but has a special outfit for a New Year&#039;s ceremony. She offers to show everyone.&lt;br /&gt;
* A package arrives with Shizuka&#039;s ceremonial outfit. She tries it on but discovers it has become highwater—too short to properly cover her. The outfit also has moth holes. She panics, worried she cannot perform the ritual. Chiharu remembers Kanoko is known for altering Magical Girl outfits. Shizuka decides to visit Kanoko.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka finds Kanoko at school with Sana, Tsumugi, and Manaka. Kanoko agrees to help. At Manaka&#039;s restaurant, they discuss design options. Kanoko suggests adding colorful mushroom lace and appliques. Sana suggests cat lace. Tsumugi suggests adding &amp;quot;TOKIME&amp;quot; on the back. Everyone is excited, but Manaka later sees the design and is horrified. She tells Shizuka it is inappropriate for a ceremonial outfit. Shizuka agrees it is too ostentatious.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana suggests asking Mifuyu, whose family runs a kimono shop. Mifuyu cannot help because her craftsman is ill, but she suggests asking Mitama, the Coordinator.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka visits Mitama. Mitama performs a Coordination, altering Shizuka&#039;s outfit to match her imagination of the traditional ceremonial costume. Shizuka is amazed by the result and feels confident and resolved.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka returns home. Chiharu and Sunao reveal they secretly learned to make New Year&#039;s Eve soba as a gift for her. They serve it to her. Shizuka is deeply touched and thanks them. She reflects on how much she has been helped by everyone and believes the new year will be wonderful.&lt;br /&gt;

===Iroha &amp;amp; Ui&#039;s Shrine Maiden Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno are being lazy, still treating it like New Year&#039;s. Yachiyo scolds them. Iroha and Ui feel anxious about the upcoming school semester but realize they have forgotten something important. Yachiyo suggests it might be cleaning. Iroha and Ui remember they need to clean their house in Takarazaki. The group agrees to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha &amp;amp; Ui (Shrine Maiden)#Side Story|Iroha &amp;amp; Ui&#039;s Shrine Maiden Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the house, they clean together. Felicia finds a photo album. Everyone looks through pictures of Iroha and Ui as children. They see photos from Ui&#039;s birthday party at the hospital, a Christmas when they had a flour snowball fight, and other memories. The girls tease Iroha for being a dork, and Iroha gets embarrassed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After cleaning, they take a break. Ui wants to have a party at the house, which has always been a dream of hers since she was hospitalized for so long. Iroha agrees. They buy cakes and cookies from a nearby pastry shop. Back at the house, they hold a small party. Yachiyo is worried about the cost, but Iroha says she and Ui paid with their allowance. They toast to everyone&#039;s help with cleaning. Felicia accidentally spills juice, and they laugh. As evening falls, they return to Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Ui receive a New Year&#039;s card from their parents overseas. They want to send something back but cannot decide how. Tsuruno and Felicia are watching a comedy show about an elderly couple sending video messages to their children. This gives Iroha and Ui the idea to record a video message for their parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They film their first video, but Yachiyo says it is too ordinary. Sana suggests making it more unique. Ui wants to introduce everyone at Mikazuki Villa to their parents. Iroha agrees. They try filming again with a script, but the takes go poorly—Yachiyo overthinks her cooking scene, Felicia struggles to tutor Ui, and Tsuruno is late. Ui suggests they abandon the script and just be themselves. They record a video of their daily life together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the video, Iroha and Ui perform a shrine maiden&#039;s dance they learned from helping at a shrine over New Year&#039;s. They tell their parents not to worry and wish them luck with work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s parents watch the video overseas. They are moved by seeing their daughters having so much fun. The father decides they will return to Japan this year to see their daughters in person. Iroha hopes her mother can see their shrine maiden dance next year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Kimono)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Mitakihara City’s school closing ceremony, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura walk out together. Sayaka is glad the term is over, Madoka is excited, and Homura admits she will feel lonely without seeing them every day. Sayaka ruffles her hair and says they can still meet over break, whether hunting witches or hanging out. Madoka suggests visiting Mizuna Shrine in Kamihama for New Year’s to draw “Ultimate Fortunes.” Sayaka has other plans but encourages them to go together. After she leaves, Madoka asks Homura if she knows how to put on formal wear. Homura does not, so Madoka invites her to a kimono‑dressing class she found, saying she wanted the two of them to dress up with Sayaka but lacked the courage to go alone. Homura agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class, the instructor dresses them first; Madoka thinks Homura looks beautiful, and Homura calls Madoka cute. When the actual lesson begins, Madoka struggles badly and trips, while Homura learns quickly enough that the instructor says she will have no trouble. Madoka takes a break outside, feeling useless. Sayaka happens by and asks why she wanted to dress up in the first place - to have fun. Sayaka tells her not to overthink; even if she makes mistakes, she will still have the memories. Encouraged, Madoka returns and finally manages to dress herself after another trip.&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year’s Day, both have their formal wear put on at a store. They joke that the class was interesting but not very useful for the real occasion. They take lots of pictures to show Sayaka, then wish each other a happy new year and go to Mizuna Shrine to draw fortunes. Madoka hopes everyone has a lucky year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka find themselves trapped in a strange dream—a life-sized board game set across Kamihama City. They must reach the goal by following the game&#039;s rules. There are no Familiars or attempts to harm them, so Homura suspects it is accidental mischief rather than a trap. They roll dice to move between squares and complete missions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Kimono)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;First Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They arrive at a shopping center. The mission is to deliver lost items from the New Year&#039;s sale to the Information Desk. They meet Aimi, who found a plain notebook with no name. Aimi worries it is someone&#039;s secret fantasy diary and does not want to read it. They take it to the Information Desk and complete the mission. Aimi mentions she is shopping for materials to knit a scarf or gloves for a boy named Hayato.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** They roll again and move to a new square. The mission is to reunite two sisters who failed to meet. They find Tsukasa waiting for her twin Tsukuyo. Tsukuyo forgot her phone and cannot remember the meeting spot. Madoka and Homura offer to find Tsukuyo. They find her, but Tsukasa has wandered off while waiting. The sisters fail to meet, and Homura and Madoka lose three turns. They eventually reach the Mizuna Shrine goal, but the game says they have not met the goal conditions and sends them back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Second Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They are back at the beginning, wearing their kimonos. They see their past selves from the first loop. The same mission appears—reunite the twins. They meet Tsukasa again, who remembers them from before and is confused by their kimono change. Madoka tells Tsukasa where Tsukuyo is, but Tsukasa runs off before Madoka can explain she should wait. They try to find Tsukasa but fail. The mission fails again, and they are sent back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Third Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes: buy a lucky bag costing one million Magica. They search for a store and take a break at a cafe. They see Ria being interviewed and overhear a boy named Hayato saying he needs a warmer scarf. They find Kokoro and Masara, who lead them to a stationery lucky bag. Kokoro mentions Tsukasa is still looking for Tsukuyo. Madoka wants to help Tsukasa, and Homura agrees. They find Tsukuyo, who has been wandering and dropped something important. They learn Tsukuyo dropped her exchange diary with Tsukasa—the same notebook Aimi found. The mission completes, but they are sent back to the start again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes again: help a child who lost something. They find Tsukuyo waiting. She dropped the exchange diary. Homura and Madoka take her to the Information Desk to reclaim it. Madoka remembers Tsukasa was last seen near a specific area. They wait there and finally reunite the twins. They also tell Aimi that Hayato wants a warm scarf. Everyone ends up happy. Homura and Madoka reach the goal without regrets. Homura reflects that she does not want the dream to last longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka learns the meaning of &amp;quot;When winter comes, spring isn&#039;t far behind&amp;quot; at the end of December. Just before New Year&#039;s Eve, Madoka asks if anyone has plans for the holiday. Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko and Nagisa meet the teacher and children at the park. The kids immediately recognize Kyoko, so the pair double down on the movie lie. The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the performance, Kyoko and Sayaka use quick‑change costumes while Nagisa sneaks discarded clothes off set. The children are awed by the glowing weapons and effects, explained with lighting tricks and soap bubbles. After the class leaves, the group reviews the footage and decides to keep a copy. Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko returns the props to Sayuki, then visits an aquarium to pass time. As she leaves, she spots the same kindergarteners, detects a witch, and rushes to fight it. She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She is hunting for discounted Valentine&#039;s chocolate. She visits Sugar Plum but finds the chocolate coins sold out. She runs into Kyoko. They keep encountering each other at multiple stores and realize they are both after the same Valentine&#039;s Day exclusive Pink Tapir chocolate coins. They form an alliance to share information and split the chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe (Valentine)#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Valentine Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Pink Tapir station store, a clerk informs them the sale has moved to a new outlet location and gives them a map. On the way, a delivery truck carrying the chocolate coins is possessed by a Witch&#039;s Kiss and goes on a rampage. Nagisa and Kyoko chase it, jump onto the truck, and enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Nagisa uses her forbidden technique to defeat the Witch. The truck and other vehicles are unharmed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the outlet store and buy the chocolate coins. Nagisa reflects on her memory of eating Pink Tapir chocolate coins for the first time at a hospital charity event when her mother was sick. She wonders if this universe&#039;s Nagisa would have had the same experience. She and Kyoko hurry to Mami&#039;s chocolate party. Kyoko reveals she bought a chocolate cake from Sugar Plum for everyone. Nagisa shares her pink chocolate coins. Mami is happy they are getting along. The next day, the chocolate hunt continues. At the outlet store, Ms. Saotome buys chocolate coins for a hospital charity event, continuing the tradition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

They also show the edited home video featuring everyone&#039;s messages of gratitude. Yachiyo is moved to tears. She thanks them all, saying she is so happy they are always with her. She says this is the best present ever. Tsuruno turns the stars back on and they enjoy their very own Milky Way. Yachiyo says she never expected her tears would be those of joy.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede, Rena, and Momoko have picked out new swimsuits. Momoko could not buy one because she spent her allowance on a concert tour. They decide to go to the beach together. Kaede mentions that Mikazuki Villa is renting a lodge for a study camp. Rena asks Yachiyo if they can join. Yachiyo agrees. They arrive at the lodge. Yachiyo announces that everyone must complete ten pages of homework per subject per day before they can play.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rena &amp;amp; Kaede (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena negotiates with Yachiyo: if they can finish all three days&#039; worth of homework in one day, they can play at the beach tomorrow. Everyone agrees. They study hard together. Rena suggests a reward system to stay motivated. They shout encouragement like at an idol concert. Yachiyo and Momoko help with difficult problems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By evening, everyone has met their quota. Rena and Kaede rush to the beach. But Rena has eaten too much chocolate and feels bloated. She is embarrassed and refuses to go swimming. She goes to bed early.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rena, Kaede, and Momoko finally play at the beach. Mitama, Kanagi, and Mifuyu visit. Mitama has brought homemade rice balls as a reward. To decide who gets them, they hold a fishing contest. Rena and Kaede catch a pufferfish but come in second place. Kanagi wins first place and gets stuck with Mitama&#039;s cooking. Mifuyu is affected first. Rena and Kaede eat the remaining Mitama musubi and feel sick. They rest for the rest of the afternoon. Yachiyo goes shopping alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Rena and Kaede notice Yachiyo acting strange. They follow her and find her with fireworks. Yachiyo admits she bought them for everyone but felt too shy to ask. Rena and Kaede insist on setting them off together. They gather everyone. The group enjoys fireworks on the beach. Rena and Kaede stay up late playing with the leftovers. Momoko reflects on how much they have changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They wake up past noon. There is only an hour before the bus leaves. They quickly change into swimsuits and race to the beach. Rena loses and buys everyone juice. They enjoy a brief swim before heading home. Kaede says she is glad she came to the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama asks Momoko to be her partner for the Beachside Perfect Pair Contest. The prizes include a scallop BBQ, Candy World tickets for Mikage, and a giant stuffed bunny Rena and Kaede would love. Momoko agrees, and Mitama immediately drags her out shopping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They browse swimsuits, but Mitama insists on choosing thoughtfully rather than buying on a whim. They separate briefly, and Mitama runs into Mikage, deflecting questions about what she’s doing. Momoko later admits she also had to make excuses after running into Rena and Kaede. Instead of buying swimsuits, Mitama brings Momoko back for an adjustment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the adjustment, they emerge in new swimsuits—Momoko’s tailored perfectly to her tastes, leaving her flustered but secretly pleased. Mitama teases her and admits she’s nervous but excited.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On contest day, Mitama and Momoko play on the beach. They learn the contest requires performing a shared beach memory with chemistry. They plan to tell the story of Mitama’s deserted island ordeal while Momoko adds her side of worrying. While playing, they fight a Witch together—the first time Mitama has teamed up with someone—then run straight into Rena, Kaede, and Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They win by performing the events of the day instead of their planned story. Rena claims the stuffed bunny, and Mikage gets the Candy World tickets, immediately inviting Mitama. Apologies are exchanged, and the others ask for no more secrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, while Mitama and Momoko clean up, Rena and Kaede take Mikage to get drinks. A girl from Mitama’s past confronts her: the one Mitama accidentally shoved down the stairs years ago. A crowd gathers, muttering rumors, but Momoko defends Mitama and the crowd disperses. The girl realizes it was an accident and offers to help clear Mitama’s name, but Mitama declines, saying she no longer needs it because she has someone who believes in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka arrives at a resort with her friends, carrying her mother’s challenge to do something she can only do now. After rescuing an old woman’s hat from the sea, she learns the hat was a gift from the woman’s daughter, Himari.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group spends the day swimming, building a sandcastle, and splitting into smaller activities. While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The girls complete the rally together, with the final photo taken at a sunflower field. That evening, a storm cancels the flower tour, but the photographer invites them to meet the next morning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the photographer leads them to a hidden pond where barringtonia blossoms float. She reveals this was the special place she and Himari had planned to visit. Madoka recognizes Himari’s name and, with her friends’ help, finds the old woman from the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The old woman and the photographer meet; the photographer confesses her guilt over their childhood fight, but the woman explains Himari never mentioned any quarrel—her illness suddenly worsened that day. The two women reconcile, and both thank Madoka for bringing them together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond. Madoka reflects that the thing she could only do here was to reunite the two women and give them peace. Her friends call her for one last swim, and she runs off to join them, already thinking of returning to the island someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story and Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
It has two versions I made, assimilate them if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomuradsSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At registration, Mitama announces all participants must wear swimwear, offering to transform their outfits for free. Homura is surprisingly excited, and Sayaka gets roped into wearing a ridiculous mushroom‑mermaid costume designed by Kanoko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many familiar magical girls attend as participants or catering staff. Hazuki reveals her hatred of worms, Konoha faints from watching bait wriggle, and various mishaps begin piling up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka in her costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The non‑waterproof suit causes Sayaka to be electrocuted by its built‑in fan, but her Doppel activates and saves her. The Doppel drags Yachiyo into the water, and Yachiyo begins water‑skiing using her fishing rod while being pulled around.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Homura happily agrees, ending the day on a warm note.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Homura confronts her Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying summer and relying on Madoka’s kindness. The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurads&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After parting ways with Ashley and Riko, Sayaka wants to visit a CD store. She hopes to find rare CDs for Kyosuke. At the store, she reaches for the same CD as a woman.

They exchange contact information. Sayaka mentions the upcoming flea market.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while waiting, Nagisa and Riko play with water guns. Sayaka&#039;s group relaxes on the beach. Madoka and Homura find Sayaka&#039;s copy in Mirrors.

** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring.

Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully.

Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;

===Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Momoko Togame (Sanctified)#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi meet again. Mitama shares her realization: her grief has ended. She now wants to make amends and carve a new future for Kamihama. They discuss ideas for the student conference. Kanagi suggests a sports festival. Mitama suggests a festival with food stalls. They joke about romance and love interests. Mitama feels lighter and ready to move forward. She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at the Wings of Magius, Alina asks Nemu to create a rumor for her. She will let it grow, then take it into herself and use it to achieve her greatest goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Touka and Nemu separately sneak to Ui’s room to leave apology notes. They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They first visit Mitama’s shop, where they meet Maria and Konomi. Mikage hands out sweets, crediting Lavi’s teaching, and Mitama permits them to visit the Mikazuki girls after receiving a cake. At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the real world, Tsuruno gives gelato to Ui and Felicia. Ui is absorbed in playing a game called &amp;quot;Little Vacation&amp;quot; on Tsuruno&#039;s phone. The game follows Tsuruno and Felicia as Reindeer Santas traveling to reach the End of the World and the Wishing Star.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia (Special Delivery)#Side Story|Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno uses the Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a hint: &amp;quot;The key is something you don&#039;t know the importance of until it&#039;s gone. This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The girls encourage Tsuruno and Felicia to leave since they were not originally trapped. Tsuruno and Felicia walk out easily. They promise to return once they find a way to free everyone. They leave, having failed to deliver smiles for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Town of Miraculous ☆ Prestidigitations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the next town. They meet Mitama, a magician performing tricks, and twins Rion and Hotori. Mitama attempts to teleport Hotori but accidentally duplicates her. There are now two Hotoris. Tsuruno and Felicia try to help. The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win. The duplicates are left behind. The single Tsuruno who lost is left alone without Reindeer-san #2 or the Okamochi Box. She decides to continue traveling anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; The three Tsurunos reunite and discuss the hints from the Okamochi Box. They realize &amp;quot;three heads are better than one&amp;quot; refers to them working together to solve the Maze Town puzzle. They also realize the key in Maze Town was a &amp;quot;smile&amp;quot;—something Ren had lost along the way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game. Game Tsuruno is surprised, saying the actual people probably do not play the game anymore. They celebrate their success and set their sights on the next town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents. Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia return home and ask to hear the full story, so Yachiyo retrieves the scarf from the time capsule where she had hidden it years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Check on the days again to make sure how many days pass. It&#039;s possible it&#039;s all just one day&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami finds herself in a strange white fog, speaking with two other versions of herself. Holy Mami claims she has learned the truth about magical girls from Alina Gray and Touka Satomi and has found a way to save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami has tea with Touka and Alina at a house rented for her by Touka. Mami explains she has not returned to Mitakihara because her priority is releasing magical girls. Touka and Alina offer to lecture her on what she needs to study. Alina grows disturbingly excited discussing van Gogh&#039;s Sunflowers, and Touka lectures at length on mathematics until Alina interrupts. Mami reassures them she will ask for help when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina receives a call from the Amane sisters requesting help with a Witch. Touka asks Mami to assist, explaining she has a lecture to give at noon to recruit skilled magical girls. Mami agrees, reflecting that releasing magical girls requires Grief Seeds, protecting Rumors, and raising Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane waiting for her. They explain the Witch has moved and the Black Feathers are monitoring it. A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren plan for their friends’ Christmas party a week away and promise to spend Christmas Eve together. While looking at options in a magazine, they cannot decide on a place. Ren buys the magazine to think it over, privately hoping to choose somewhere that will make Rika happy, though she doubts whether she truly belongs beside her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ren visits Emiri’s consultation room but finds only Akira and Ria Ami. She explains her dilemma, and Ria takes her around town to evaluate possible locations. They rule out a restaurant, an amusement park, and a romantic cafe, eventually settling on the Minagi Aquarium. Ria is surprised to learn Ren is planning an outing with Rika, not a boyfriend, but Ren leaves feeling confident in her choice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Christmas Eve, Rika attends a party with her school friends. When she mentions she will spend Christmas Eve at the aquarium with a friend, her friends press to join, but Rika refuses. She advises them not to look for boyfriends just to avoid being alone. Later, while walking with her friends, Rika spots Ren chasing after Aimi Eri. She follows and finds Ren comforting Aimi over a misunderstanding involving a boy; the situation resolves without trouble.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Ren waits for Rika, who messages that she overslept with a fever. Ren worries Rika became sick chasing after her the day before. Before she can reply, Aimi finds her, and they go shopping together. Aimi encourages Ren to visit Rika instead of staying apart. Ren goes to Rika’s house, knocks on her window, and insists they spend Christmas together there so Rika can rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They exchange gifts: Ren gives Rika scented candles, having noticed Rika’s interest from a sticky note, and Rika gives Ren a glass candlestick. Rika hopes they can visit the aquarium another time, and Ren leaves happy to have shared Christmas with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, assimilate them if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane complain about being overworked as guardians of a Rumor and fear the anger of Touka, Alina, and Nemu. They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

===A Taste of Hospitality===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - A Taste of Hospitality|A Taste of Hospitality]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko and Ashley help Mitama film a video about her Coordinator services, whre she explains that she adjusts Soul Gems to draw out hidden potential, that she sees memories during adjustments but keeps them confidential, and that she also sells items for Magical Girls. As payment for the video, Riko gives Mitama an origami dog (Mameji) and Ashley gives her blue candy from her home, both of which Mitama puts in a box.&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, Mitama receives many gifts from Magical Girls, including Kokoro, Reira, Mito, Felicia, Ayame, Kako, Yachiyo, Karin, Himika, Rika and Emiri, the last of whom says that when people share their favorite things, it means they want to share what they love with Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama hums happily, which Momoko and Kanagi notice and feel a bad omen. Mitama announces that she wants to share what she loves with everyone and that she plans a party with food that she will cook. She asks Momoko and Kanagi to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin|Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One winter’s day before Christmas, Rika and Ren go shopping together. The town has no Christmas decorations and people seem depressed. They hear a distressed voice and find Mitama, wearing a Santa&#039;s beard and hat, and she introduces herself as a Christmas Spirit. Mitama says her job is to make everyone happy, but the task is too big. She gives Rika and Ren some of her magic, explaining that the magic requires them to be perfectly attuned to each other, and then she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, a swallow Familiar appears, claiming to be Mitama’s pupil and Rika names him Chirpie. Chirpie explains that Mitama saved him when he fell from his nest and gave him magic. He can sense cowardly hearts lacking courage and Rika and Ren must drive out ten cowardly hearts to make the town happy. Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chirpie leads them to Felicia and Sana, who had accidentally smashed a cake and are now arguing about who should apologize to Yachiyo. Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines|Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 13th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mitama is away from her shop, but Tsuruno is there, using the kitchen to make chocolate bonbons with a friend. She plans to surprise everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 14th:&#039;&#039;&#039; On Valentine&#039;s Day, Tsuruno gives beautifully wrapped chocolates to Iroha, Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana and Ui at Mikazuki Villa. Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rise of the Waning Moon===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Rise of the Waning Moon|Rise of the Waning Moon]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day during lunch break, Kanagi goes to Himika’s classroom, telling her she just wanted to see her face, which Himika finds strange.&lt;br /&gt;
** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===Finding Our Formula===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Finding Our Formula|Finding Our Formula]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Hinano and Emiri attend a chemistry event. Hinano is excited to see a chemist who reminds her of the woman she idolized as a child—a tall, long-legged lady who taught fun chemistry experiments. Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic|Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls finish dinner. Tsuruno and Felicia complain about going to the same public pool every summer. Yachiyo receives a phone call from a distant relative who runs a hotel. The relative needs help cleaning the hotel pool because the usual staff are sick. Yachiyo hesitates due to her modeling schedule. The girls offer to help. Yachiyo calls back and confirms they will come.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group arrives at the hotel and Yachiyo&#039;s relative, an older woman, greets them warmly. She says she used to hang out with Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river. Tsuruno and Felicia compete to see who can clean faster, inventing names for their techniques. Yachiyo scolds them for being inefficient. They eventually work together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha slips and falls but is not hurt. Felicia sprays Yachiyo with the hose and Yachiyo chases her. After a few hours, they finish cleaning. The relative rewards them with fluffy shaved ice.&lt;br /&gt;
** The pool is now clean and filled with water. The girls swim and play. Tsuruno and Felicia bring water guns and spray Yachiyo. Yachiyo chases them and gets out of the pool to walk upstream, eventually catching them. They all have fun.&lt;br /&gt;
** As they leave, the relative thanks them but reveals the pool may not open after all due to unforeseen issues. Everyone is shocked.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic|Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic]]&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls are about to leave when the relative reveals the pool may not open because support staff from the southern islands are delayed by a typhoon. Tsuruno volunteers the group to help until the staff arrives. Yachiyo worries they might cause trouble, but Iroha, Ui, and Sana want to try. They agree to help. Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the next day, the group arrives at the pool for opening day. Yachiyo handles reception. The ticket scanner malfunctions and a line forms. Mitama appears—she had plans with Iroha that were canceled. She offers to help and fixes the scanner by hitting it. The staff member returns and takes over.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama notices Yachiyo has something on her mind and suggests she talk to someone she trusts. Iroha later asks Yachiyo to help with a crowded lunch area. Ui is taking orders with Sana&#039;s invisible help making drinks.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral. Yachiyo admits she was worried about everyone but sees they are doing fine. Iroha tells Yachiyo it is okay to worry because she cares, and they can solve problems together. Iroha notices Yachiyo has been down and offers to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
** A foam machine malfunctions, spewing foam everywhere. A guest slips and falls. The group splits up to clean the foam and help guests. Mitama fixes the machine with a whack. The support staff arrives. The girls finally have time to enjoy the pool.&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models. She does not know what to post and is shy about taking selfies. Iroha suggests posting photos of herself and takes pictures of Yachiyo on a float with the sunset. Yachiyo is embarrassed but agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Tsuruno want a turn on the float. Everyone climbs on, and Mitama takes a group photo just as they all fall into the water. Iroha loves the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the pool photos are popular online. Yachiyo&#039;s manager says going to the pool was a good move. Yachiyo thanks Iroha and says she might take her up on being her photographer again. She sends the group photo to everyone. Iroha says the photo may not be &amp;quot;social media-worthy&amp;quot; but it captures who they are. They agree to go back to the pool again—summer is just getting started.&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsukuyo Amane&#039;s Heartphial Story: She and I, Ever After===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo Amane reflects on her life. She and her sister must have realized they were doing something wrong, but to save each other, it was the only hope they had. She will seek a different path for them to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo dreams of living with her twin sister Tsukasa. She daydreams about leaving home and living with her beloved sister. In class, she studies a story about two people from different backgrounds who run away together. She wishes she could be like the strong female protagonist. After school, she meets Tsukasa at the shrine. They both studied the same story and discuss planning for when they live together. Tsukuyo researches the costs of a two-person household and is shocked by how expensive it is.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo falls asleep while daydreaming about living with Tsukasa. Her grandmother finds her fantasy budget notebook and accuses her of planning to run away with a boy. Her training hours are increased, and her smartphone is confiscated. Tsukuyo is unable to contact Tsukasa. She runs away and ends up at the shrine, but Tsukasa is at school.&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback (Before Magical Girl). Tsukuyo is overworked with club activities and training. She is exhausted and collapses. She wakes up in the hospital with her sister beside her. Tsukuyo remembers how she first met Tsukasa. She was playing her flute at the shrine when she saw a girl who looked just like her. They discovered they were twins, separated at birth. They became close and talked openly with each other for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo too formal and uptight, while Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukuyo was devastated. She received a harsh message from her grandmother, punishing her for being absent without permission. She broke down crying, saying she was not a puppet for her grandmother to order around.&lt;br /&gt;
*On another day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa both collapse and wake up in the hospital. The pediatrician confirms they are twins. They reconcile and make a wish to Kyubey to never again hate each other. They become Magical Girls. They meet at the shrine and agree to leave home together once they graduate high school. Their wishes have come true, but their environments have not changed. Messages from their families indicate misunderstandings have been cleared, and they decide to part for the day.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day after the reconciliation, Tsukuyo returns home, but life becomes stricter. She continues her oppressive training. Mifuyu contacts her about something important regarding Magical Girls. Tsukuyo meets Mifuyu and learns that Magical Girls turn into Witches. She is horrified that she and Tsukasa will become Witches. She produces a Doppel. Mifuyu explains that the Wings of the Magius are working to save Magical Girls and asks for Tsukuyo&#039;s help. Tsukuyo agrees to discuss it with Tsukasa.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Tsukasa tells Tsukuyo she does not know the details of how the Magius intend to save them. She shares the full ending of the story they studied—the couple takes their own lives because they fear their love will fade. Tsukasa suggests they do the same. Tsukuyo is horrified but realizes they have no other way out.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night they decide to die, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa meet at the shrine. They decide to destroy their Soul Gems together. They hold hands and count to three. Mifuyu arrives in time to stop them. She begs them to live and fight for their freedom together. She says the Wings of the Magius may be small, but they will grow. Tsukasa and Tsukuyo agree to join the Wings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Return to the present) Tsukuyo reflects on how much has happened. She knows she must always be there to support Tsukasa, who can be unpredictable. She dreams of their future together—a happy ending where they live together, free from family, regional disputes, and Magical Girls. She knows it may be a long way off, but as long as she has Tsukasa, she believes they will get their happy ending.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* Tsukasa dreams of living with her twin sister Tsukuyo. In class, she studies a story about two lovers from different social backgrounds who run away together. She wishes she could be like the strong protagonist. After school, she meets Tsukuyo at the shrine. They both studied the same story and discuss planning for when they live together. Tsukasa will handle housework and cooking. She daydreams about their future life together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukasa&#039;s father tells her about an arranged marriage interview. He wants her to marry a boy from Chuo Ward to help dispel the eastern impression that plagues their workshop. Tsukasa refuses and runs away. She ends up at the shrine, but Tsukuyo is at school. She remembers how she first met Tsukuyo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before Magical Girl). Tsukasa is overworked with school, chores, and finances for the workshop. She is exhausted and collapses. She wakes up in the hospital with her sister beside her. Tsukasa remembers how she first met Tsukuyo. She was playing her flute at the shrine when a stranger warned her about Witches. She then saw a girl who looked just like her. They discovered they were twins, separated at birth. They became close and talked about their struggles.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo stuck-up and obsessed with appearances. Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized and loud. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukasa&#039;s resentment toward her family grew. She fell into a Witch&#039;s snare but was saved by the stranger from before.&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo both collapse and wake up in the hospital. The pediatrician confirms they are twins. They reconcile and make a wish to Kyubey to never again hate each other. They become Magical Girls. They meet at the shrine and agree to leave home together once they graduate high school. Their wishes have come true, but their environments have not changed.&lt;br /&gt;

She decides to start saving money for their future but is rejected from a part-time job because she is from the east. Kanagi introduces her to the Coordinator. She receives a message from Tsukuyo about something important regarding Magical Girls. She learns that Magical Girls turn into Witches. The Wings of the Magius is their only hope of salvation. Tsukasa asks for time to think it over. She returns home and her father scolds her for applying for a job. He says the marriage interview is only postponed, not canceled.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night of the suicide pact, Tsukasa runs to the shrine. She has nowhere to run. Her sister is crying before her. Tsukasa produced a Doppel. They return to Mifuyu for more information. Kanagi warns Tsukasa that the Magius could be lying. Tsukasa decides to end their story by destroying their Soul Gems. She and Tsukuyo hold hands and count to three.

Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
** She met a girl named &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; N told Kako who was responsible and what she needed to do to destroy them. Kako clung to her. She later learned N was manipulative and saw others as pawns. Kako hates N and wants revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found herself in a Labyrinth. Nanaka fought off Familiars but was overwhelmed. Kyubey offered Kako the chance to become a Magical Girl.

She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kako learned Nanaka faked her struggle to entrap her into making the wish. Nanaka had pulled this trick on others to use them as pawns. Kako could not forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako and Nanaka fought Witches together. Nanaka encouraged Kako and told her she was better suited to being a Magical Girl than Nanaka was. Kako wanted to get stronger. Nanaka wrote a letter confessing her deception and asking Kako to kill her. Kako made up her mind to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka. She returned it unopened, saying it seemed wrong to read something Nanaka only sent by accident. Nanaka smiled and said Kako was dazzling. She said she would try to tell Kako her feelings in person someday.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako thinks Nanaka overestimates her, but she is no longer as scared and helpless as she used to be. She is a Magical Girl who protects the city by Nanaka&#039;s side.&lt;br /&gt;

Konoha was sent to an orphanage called Azalea House. Her heart was frozen, but the director&#039;s kindness slowly brought color back to her world. She met Hazuki and Ayame there. They became sisters bound by a bond stronger than blood. The director treated them like family.&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before becoming Magical Girls) Azalea House was to be torn down due to unknown powerful forces. The stress of it claimed the director&#039;s life. Kyubey appeared and offered contracts. Konoha wanted to become a Magical Girl alone to protect her sisters, but they insisted on joining her. They made their wishes: Konoha wished for the Azalea House to last forever. Hazuki wished to eliminate all causes that threatened it. Ayame wished for everyone at the orphanage to forget they were ever there. They left Azalea House and have lived together ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Konoha visits Azalea House with Hazuki and Ayame. She reflects on their journey. They part ways, and Konoha goes to the department store sale to buy truffles. She bumps into Kanoko and swaps bags by accident. She ends up with chocolate truffles instead of mushroom ones. Mitama messages Kanoko, who replies with emojis indicating she is near the Kamihama University Affiliated School. Konoha and Mitama go to find her.&lt;br /&gt;
** They find Kanoko chasing a bus. She left her bag on the bus. They catch up to the bus, but the bag is already gone. Mitama contacts Asuka, who picked up the bag for safekeeping. They go to the dojo where Asuka teaches. Asuka reveals she bumped into Momoko at a convenience store and may have switched bags again. Mitama tries to contact Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, but none of them answer. They fear the team may have encountered a strong Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha and Asuka search for Momoko&#039;s team. They enter a Labyrinth and find Nanaka&#039;s team struggling against a Witch. They help defeat it. Nanaka&#039;s team has not seen Momoko. Everyone fears the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to Mitama&#039;s shop and Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive unharmed. They had turned off their phones to watch a movie. Momoko reveals she left the bag at Blossom. Konoha goes to Blossom and retrieves her truffles. She also receives free flowers because today is a special anniversary.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha explains to Mitama that today is the anniversary of the day the three sisters left Azalea House and started living together. She wants to make it a special day for Ayame and Hazuki.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha returns home. She prepares a truffle dinner with Hazuki and Ayame. They cook together, sharing happiness as a family. Konoha asks them to always stick together. They promise to always be together, hands held tight, just the three of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hazuki Yusa&#039;s Heartphial Story: The Distance Between Us===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki Yusa reflects on her life. Azalea House was the place that taught her to smile again, the place that rescued her from the torment she covered up with a false grin. She was not going to lose it, no matter what it took.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A teacher asks Hazuki to deliver worksheets to Nanaka. Hazuki is reluctant because Konoha distrusts Nanaka after an incident where Nanaka&#039;s team tricked them into fighting a powerful Witch. Hazuki delivers the worksheets. Nanaka suggests they should share information without secrets. Hazuki agrees to try building trust, but she remains wary.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki arrives at the school camp. She is assigned to orienteering setup with Nanaka. They are paired together by random draw. They work through checkpoints. The map notes are outdated, and they get lost. It starts raining heavily.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the storm, the rope bridge collapses due to the rain. Hazuki and Nanaka cannot cross the river. They find an old shack for shelter. They huddle together for warmth. Hazuki shares her past: her parents died in an accident when she was young. She was shuffled between relatives until she ended up at Azalea House. She learned to hide her fear behind a smile. The director taught her to smile when her heart truly felt it. She met Konoha and Ayame there. They became family. They made wishes to protect Azalea House and left to live together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka listens quietly. She says she finally understands Hazuki&#039;s true self. Nanaka grows pale and cold. Hazuki worries she might collapse. Hazuki insists they huddle closer. Nanaka admits she is cold. They wait together.&lt;br /&gt;
** The rain stops. Akira and others find them at the shack. They are taken back to camp. The nurse checks them. Hazuki and Nanaka are cleared to stay. Nanaka is grateful for Hazuki&#039;s help. Hazuki teases Nanaka about being excited for pillow fights. Nanaka jokes back. They agree to enjoy the rest of camp together. Hazuki realizes she has seen a different side of Nanaka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ayame Mikuri&#039;s Heartphial Story: Runaway Adventure===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame Mikuri reflects on her life. Azalea House was a place that showed her real love. When she knew nothing about family, that place taught her warmth. She was not going to turn her back on it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame writes a letter to the Director, the late head of Azalea House. She explains that she, Konoha, and Hazuki are Magical Girls now. Konoha warns Ayame to stay away from Nanaka&#039;s team after a recent incident. Ayame agrees but secretly plans to meet up with Kako anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayame and Kako meet in secret. They are friends but cannot openly hang out because their teams do not get along. Ayame complains about the situation. Kako shows her a book about ocean adventures. Ayame becomes curious about whether the ocean boils when the sun sets. They decide to go to the beach together to find out.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame and Kako take a train and a bus toward the beach. Ayame is excited. Konoha calls and texts repeatedly, but Ayame ignores her. They get off the bus when it breaks down and take a detour. They discover a field of sunflowers. They share cup noodles together. Ayame turns off her phone. Kako also ignores Nanaka&#039;s messages to focus on their adventure. They finally reach the beach and watch the sunset together. Ayame still cannot tell if the ocean boils, but she is happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback - Azalea House) Ayame dreams of the Director. She remembers the day Azalea House was going to be torn down. The Director had already passed away. Konoha, Hazuki, and Ayame met Kyubey and decided to become Magical Girls. Ayame wished for Azalea House to stay open forever. Konoha wished to eliminate all threats to it. They decided on a third wish: to have everyone at Azalea House forget they were ever there. They left the orphanage and started living together. Ayame remembers Konoha&#039;s promise that they would always be together. She reflects on her conflict with Konoha over her friendship with Kako. She wishes the Director could tell her what to do.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame wakes up at Kako&#039;s relatives&#039; house. Konoha has arrived. She found Ayame by asking Nanaka to track Kako&#039;s location. Ayame refuses to go home, saying Konoha has been stifling her. She promises to tell Konoha where she is next time. Konoha apologizes. She did not realize how her words were making Ayame feel. She promises to talk things through with Hazuki and Ayame. Kako is relieved. Ayame treasures the memory of her adventure. She promises never to forget it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Masara Kagami&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Flame Kindled in the Vastness===&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara Kagami reflects on her life. After becoming a Magical Girl, not much felt dramatically different. But encounters and experiences since have changed her. She thinks her dull and pointless life has just gotten a little more colorful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara finds the world boring. She is good at swimming but lacks passion. Kyubey appears and offers her any wish. She wishes for a load of money and becomes a Magical Girl. She fights Witches, and the excitement fades quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara meets Kokoro Awane in a Labyrinth. Kokoro is uncomfortable with Masara&#039;s reckless fighting and tells her to protect herself more. Masara says she does not care if she dies. Kokoro says her family would care. Masara questions why Kokoro blames herself for her family&#039;s problems. Kokoro asks if they can stick together. Masara agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a Witch hunt, they&#039;re attacked by a Witch and Masara takes a hit to protect Kokoro. She gets a scar. She starts avoiding Kokoro because she does not understand her feelings. Mitama explains that Masara fears seeing Kokoro get hurt, so she avoids her to prevent that pain. Masara realizes she fears losing Kokoro, so they reconcile.&lt;br /&gt;
* The swim club announces the relay team. Masara is chosen but declines, saying she is not good at team sports. Koshino, who has always been second to Masara, is chosen as her replacement. Koshino vows to beat Masara&#039;s record.&lt;br /&gt;
* While Kokoro and Masara go on patrol, they see Koshino training alone after school hours. Koshino tells Masara she beat her personal record. Masara is puzzled by Koshino&#039;s passion.&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Masara passes Koshino training again. They start talking about her times regularly. Kokoro notes that Koshino will never catch up to Masara&#039;s times. Masara wonders what drives Koshino.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days before the competition, Koshino beats Masara&#039;s record once. The swim club captain praises her. Masara feels something but cannot identify it. She is not annoyed. She does not know what she feels.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day before the competition, Koshino has an accident and cannot compete. Masara agrees to take her place. She is surprised by her own motivation. Kokoro notices the change.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the competition, Masara swims well. Her team finishes second, but she was in the lead when passing the baton. Koshino comes to watch and thanks Masara for doing the race for her. Kokoro says Masara has changed. Masara decides she wants to keep swimming a while longer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika Ayano&#039;s Heartphial Story: Haunting Love, Haunting Mistake===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika Ayano reflects on her life. She does not want to feel like she became a Magical Girl for nothing. She got to see what dating is like and made loads of friends. But sins do not wash away so easily. That is the price you pay for a miracle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback, but the entirety seems like mostly a flashback) Kyubey offers Rika any wish in exchange for becoming a Magical Girl. Hinano warns her not to do it, but Rika ignores the advice. She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Riko Chiaki&#039;s Heartphial Story: Worked Out with a Woof===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki reflects on her life. Even though her mom and dad were hardly home because of work, she never felt lonely as long as Miss K was around. She cared about her so much that she just wanted to help her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback) Riko helps out at her parents&#039; bento store. She is close with Miss K, the daughter of the hardware store owner next door. Miss K has always been like a big sister to her. Miss K cries to Riko that her father opposes her marriage because he does not want her to move far away. Riko wishes to Kyubey for Miss K&#039;s marriage to be accepted. She becomes a Magical Girl. Miss K gets married and moves away. Riko misses her but does not regret her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Riko goes filming with Ashley. She tells Ashley about Miss K. She explains that Miss K&#039;s father never fully accepted the marriage, and they have not made up. Riko receives a message from Miss K saying she was in the hospital because she was pregnant. She invites Riko to visit her new house. Riko goes and meets the baby. Miss K asks Riko to be friends with her child. Riko becomes like a big sister to the baby. She feels happy that her wish came true but is sad Miss K and her father never reconciled.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko walks Mameji and sees Miss K&#039;s father standing outside the hardware store, looking sad. She wonders what is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley advises Riko to ask Miss K directly if she wants to make up with her father. Riko texts Miss K and asks to meet. Miss K replies that she will come to Riko&#039;s town instead. Riko is excited.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Miss K visits Riko. They talk about her father. Miss K says she wants to make up with him but does not know how. Riko suggests inviting him to meet the baby, giving him a present, or going on a family trip. Miss K doubts any of it will work. They walk to Riko&#039;s store together. They encounter Miss K&#039;s father outside. Riko admits she asked Miss K to come so they could patch things up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Miss K&#039;s father reveals he brought a herbarium to Riko&#039;s store. It was originally meant as a gift for his grandchild, but he could not bring himself to deliver it. Riko realizes Mameji had been guiding her this whole time. Earlier, Mameji had barked at the cake that turned out to be from Miss K&#039;s father. Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky. She realizes she is dying, having protected Yachiyo. She remembers how everyone was fighting for dear life. She wished she were stronger to help them. She is sorry for not being stronger. She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;

** Ashley remembers the day she wanted to study abroad in Japan. Her father refused without giving a clear reason, which was unusual. Kyubey appeared and offered to grant any wish. Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;

She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;

===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call|Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wait, You Got It Wrong!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayu Kozue&#039;s most treasured possession is a bear pendant her father carved for her before he died. When a hand-drawn postcard is stolen from the museum where she works, security footage shows her friend Ria at the scene moments later. Mayu cannot reach Ria and suspects a Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~|Wait, You Got It Wrong! / Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While searching for Ria, Mayu encounters Asuka Tatsuki, whose family&#039;s invaluable book of secrets was also stolen. A witness described a blonde girl in a Mizuna uniform—Ria. They find Sayuki Fumino crying over her stolen sword book, then Rena Minami who was bumped by the same girl. At Walnut&#039;s restaurant, Manaka Kurumi accuses Ria of stealing a rice omelet. A Witch barrier appears, and after Mayu and Asuka defeat the Familiars, Ria arrives demanding to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka challenges Ria to a duel over the thefts, and Ria loses. She confesses to something embarrassing, and everyone assumes she means the thefts—but she meant a binder of idol clippings she desperately hopes no one saw. She was only chasing the Witch to recover her own stolen belongings. Relieved, Mayu and Asuka join her. They track and defeat the Witch, recovering most items, but the museum postcard, the dojo book, and Ria&#039;s binder remain missing. They agree to search again tomorrow. That night, Mayu dreams of her father, who tells her material things are destined to break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, thefts continue across the city. Mayu realizes the Witch they defeated was only a Familiar and the real Witch is still out there. She offers her precious pendant as bait to track it. Despite Ria&#039;s protests, Mayu uses it, and they follow the magic trail to the Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After a difficult battle, they recover all stolen items, though Mayu&#039;s pendant is scratched and its chain broken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu is unbothered. She explains that material possessions naturally break, but the memories they hold remain in her heart—a lesson from her father. Asuka and Ria are moved, and Mayu turns to walk home, promptly falls into a lake, and flounders while Ria sighs that she has not changed at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor she calls Miss K. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Miss K with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Miss K&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Miss K to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

===&amp;quot;Let&#039;s hit the Suitoku baths! (Music Collection 1 bonus drama)&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo, Iroha, and Sana prepare a meal. Felicia reluctantly helps. Tsuruno arrives with a flyer for Suitokuyu, a public bathhouse holding an event as part of a shopping district revitalization plan. She invites everyone to go together. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the bathhouse, they read the posted rules. Tsuruno pretends to be a &amp;quot;bathhouse master&amp;quot; and teaches them. Sana becomes embarrassed about being naked in front of everyone. Yachiyo understands her feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Villa. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;
~A Little Break For Us~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===This is The Warmest Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha is going about her day when Sana, Felicia, and Ui present her with a pinwheel and ask her to blow on it. Though confused by their strange behavior, Iroha does as they ask and the girls thank her before quickly scampering off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~#This Is The Warmest Day Login Special|This is The Warmest Day]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts. When Yachiyo asks Iroha&#039;s opinion, Iroha expresses her love for shortcake and suggests they bake one immediately, but Yachiyo insists she wait for the right moment, which will come sooner than she thinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Lavi is shopping when Nayuta finds her to share news about her math test score. They return home where Lavi prepares dinner, and Nayuta discovers Lavi earned perfect scores in every subject, highlighting the gap between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House|The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day while Lavi runs errands, Nayuta confides in Mikage about her fears that Lavi only respects her father and secretly resents serving her. Seeking answers, Nayuta visits Mitama, who suggests that kindness and broad-mindedness are the traits she needs to develop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Nayuta observes how hard Lavi works attending school, studying, handling housework, and fighting witches. Worried she might collapse, Nayuta offers Lavi time off for her upcoming sixteenth birthday and secretly plans a surprise party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later on Lavi&#039;s birthday, Nayuta and Mikage struggle through cleaning the house and preparing a celebration. Their efforts are interrupted when Lavi returns early for lunch, scolds them for the mess, but leaves again at Nayuta&#039;s insistence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Lavi returns that evening, the handmade kusudama falls onto the cake and catches fire. Lavi extinguishes it with water, and Nayuta is left mortified as her surprise party fails spectacularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Nayuta senses lingering coldness from Lavi and struggles to find the right way to apologize. Remembering her father&#039;s example, she decides to catch and cook a fish as an apology gift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day at a fishing center, Nayuta encounters girls from the Tokime clan who teach her how to gut fish. Despite being disturbed by the process, she perseveres and eventually catches the exact fish she wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning home late, Nayuta discovers a threatening letter addressed to Lavi and deduces it must be connected to the serious trouble from Lavi&#039;s hometown. She rushes to the market street with Mikage to protect her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the market street, Nayuta confronts the man speaking with Lavi, declaring herself as Satomi Tasuke&#039;s daughter to intimidate him. The man reveals he is simply a stalker with no connection to Lavi&#039;s past, and when he becomes agitated, Nayuta tackles him unconscious as a crowd applauds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Nayuta presents the cooked fish and apologizes. Lavi admits she was barely angry anymore and thanks Nayuta for protecting her, acknowledging she was just like her father in that moment. Nayuta produces a second kusudama and cake, and this time the celebration succeeds. As they pick confetti from the cake, Lavi quietly says she will continue to admire Nayuta until the final day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Art 02 01 0003 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune. The Rumor says that if you receive the book and find a drawing of yourself, the sketched event will happen and if you try to stop it, a creature named Ketch drags you into the book. Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One summer morning, Mitama is at her shop and she has set up a small café corner called Hot☆Corner. The cat, Doyle, is especially attached to her lately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery|The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day|Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Rumored Temp Counselor===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away|Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls in Kush, who transforms into a vampire and she wins the contest. Natsuki takes second place and Karin takes third place. A commemorative photo is taken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin completes her manga, &amp;quot;The Pumpkin King and the Ghost Servant.&amp;quot; She shows it to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede who praise it, giving it 100 points or more. Kaede appreciates the happy ending. Karin is moved by Kaede&#039;s approval. Manaka arrives with pumpkin pie for a taste test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the Sakae Halloween Festa, Karin arrives at the festival in her Pumpkin King costume. Alina is also present, already dressed as the ghost servant from Karin&#039;s manga. Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head of the executive committee thanks Karin for recommending Alina as the face of the event. Karin reflects on her hope that Alina will one day atone for her sins and reach a happy ending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kamihama Chocolate Girls===&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka, Sunao, and Chiharu look through a Valentine&#039;s Day feature in Kamihama&#039;s free newspaper. Shizuka is embarrassed to see her photo distributed around town, but Chiharu reassures her the photo is cute and the experience gave them a happy memory. They spot a feature on the chocolate shop Shizuka visited and decide to bring all the Tokime girls next time. The newspaper also includes messages from other magical girls offering homemade chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Bittersweet AI Memory#Kamihama Chocolate Girls|Kamihama Chocolate Girls]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage is delighted to see her photo in the newspaper and finds it funny that the article claims she made chocolate with her sister. Mitama suggests it was artistic license. Mikage wonders if she might become famous but worries about sketchy people, and Mitama jokingly offers to beat them up. Mikage asks if they can make real chocolate together, but Mitama needs to go to her coordinator shop. Mikage promises to do things that make her sister smile instead, and Mitama suggests they make Valentine&#039;s chocolate together next year. Mikage eagerly agrees to practice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choc&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Promised Blood&#039;s base, Yuna notices her teammates have been acting strangely, as Sakuya reads romance columns, Juri studies constantly, and Urara stares at Hikaru without speaking. After the meeting, Yuna confides in Hikaru that she feels guilty for not noticing everyone&#039;s exhaustion and decides to solve each person&#039;s problems personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend. Though relieved it&#039;s not her own love life, Yuna insists on helping anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s place, the group brainstorms confession advice. The conversation shifts when Ao receives a text from her parents—she&#039;s been lying to them about her late nights as a magical girl, claiming she&#039;s in an e-sports tournament. To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the online tournament, chaos ensues as Juri attacks teammates, Hikaru sets the kitchen on fire, and Yuna fails at selling merchandise. Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the student council meeting, Yuna honestly requests more time to handle personal matters, promising to dedicate herself fully afterward. The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka-senpai&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Day in the Life of Madoka-senpai===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

==Magia Record Events==&lt;br /&gt;
===See You Tomorrow===&lt;br /&gt;
* One morning at the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira greets an older neighbor who warns her about increasing danger in the area. Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them. The girl agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, finishing the final preparations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day of the school festival proceeds without major incident. Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, sampling food and enjoying the event. They take a photo together at the repaired arch—Tsumugi, Manaka, and the transfer student in her uniform. The transfer student reflects later that she will cherish the photo forever, grateful for the kindness she did not feel she deserved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Autumn of Reading===&lt;br /&gt;
This seems to have been an event without story. Needs to be re-checked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Girls in the Hood===&lt;br /&gt;
* An earthquake strikes the city, and on a rooftop, Jun Kazari drops both her yo-yo and her soul gem while practicing tricks. She chases after the soul gem, while the yo-yo falls into the hood of Mitsune Miwa, a hikikomori watching a performance below.

** On set, Ria and Mayu are assisting with makeup and costumes. Yachiyo recognizes Ria, calls her by name, and praises her work, causing Ria to internally fangirl. Yachiyo grows anxious seeing so many Magical Girls gathered, recalling how a previous production with magical girls turned into a disaster. Tsuruno reassures her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wins over the production team with her exuberance. The play&#039;s co-star drops out, and the director asks Tsuruno to take the role. She eagerly accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a fairy tale about an ancient Mizuna legend. Two girls, Tsuyu and Chizuru, befriend each other despite their families&#039; rivalry and join forces to punish a selfish lord. Yachiyo plays Tsuyu, the ice queen with a heart of gold. Tsuruno plays Chizuru, the cheerful and impetuous girl. Sayuki plays the Magpie.&lt;br /&gt;

She does not want Yachiyo&#039;s performance to drag down her makeup work or her reputation as Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo accepts.&lt;br /&gt;

** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sea is a Link Through Time /  The Call of the Open Sea===&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. There&#039;s two different versions at hand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Momoko and Mitama arrive at a resort near a village with a legend about a Diviner who eloped with a sailor and sank with stolen treasure. Mitama reveals they are actually there to hunt for this treasure based on a fairy tale Mikage heard. While exploring the private beach, they encounter Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao from the Tokime Clan, who stumbled there by accident. The group decides to spend the day together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|The Call of the Open Sea]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, they attend a festival in a nearby village that turns out to be a branch of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka learns the villagers consider Diviners a superstition. Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Big Sis, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Felicia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward. Kyubey finds a fuming Felicia, who decides to hire herself out as a mercenary to other magical girls for money or Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Felicia Mitsuki#Side Story|Felicia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia encounters Asuka and Sasara and defeats a witch for them, but they let her keep the Grief Seed and leave without paying, leaving her frustrated. Kako appears, concerned, but Felicia rejects her harshly and immediately regrets it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia helps defeat the witch and collapses from exhaustion, silently vowing to destroy every witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Touka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Hazuki and Nanaka team up with Ui to teach her how to defeat witches. Ui claims her first victory and receives a grief seed as a reward while Touka and Nemu tag along to offer congratulations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art. The Amanes are relieved, and Tsukuyo suggests they play their flutes at the shrine on the way home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo thinks the flute&#039;s song has always warmed her heart, while Tsukasa reflects it is a bridge connecting her to her sister. Both affirm that their only allies are each other, and they will always be together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends. Before Hibari&#039;s family moved away, she performed a charm ritual on Aru and promised they would meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message that Hibari is coming to visit Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After some confusion about directions, they reach the arcade where Hibari wins a crane game prize and helps Juri win one too.

Kagome calls her and Hibari thanks her for being friends before saying goodbye, with an ambulance audible in the background.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Himena&#039;s group arrives to help hold back the crowd, but other girls cannot come due to similar incidents elsewhere. Shizuka finally checks her phone and rushes over with the Tokime Clan just as someone threatens to ignite kerosene. They stop the crowd while Juri and Ao defeat the Witch with Livia&#039;s help. The Witch&#039;s Kiss is lifted and Hibari wakes up confused, with Livia covering that she collapsed from anemia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari admits she felt faint because seeing Kagome surrounded by friends made her happy but also made her feel left behind and alone. Kagome insists Hibari is wrong and promises to come running whenever Hibari is in trouble, asking them to stay best friends forever. Hibari reveals the two wishes she made when they parted came true: that she could speak her mind loudly and that Kagome would make lots of friends. They renew their promise to remain best friends forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They bonded over a shared love of &amp;quot;The Adventure of Mandragora.&amp;quot; Hibari gave Kagome a Mandragora plushie named Al-chan and asked to be friends. Kagome learned ventriloquism through Al-chan and grew more confident. The two became inseparable.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kagome&#039;s family moved due to her father&#039;s job transfer, Hibari put a charm on Al-chan with a secret wish. They promised to meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message from Hibari saying she will visit Kamihama. Kagome prepares to show her around.&lt;br /&gt;

*Day 2 (Flashback)&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna explains that Juri lost to her and her senpai, which is why she joined Torayamachi. The group hunted Kyubey to stop him from recruiting Magical Girls. Kyubey agreed to leave Futatsugi.

* Day 4&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri struggled at school, frustrated by classmates who avoided conflict and teachers who enabled them. Her anger built up. She reflected on how she became a Magical Girl—she wished for a patient, stout heart to stay in school and not burden her father. The wish gave her patience but did not eliminate her anger; it built up as flames until she exploded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl Yuna introduced continued to spar with Juri. The girl revealed Juri had saved her from a Witch, and she admired Juri.

* Day 5&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri prepared for their duel. Ryuugasaki and Torayamachi factions learned of the fight and gathered to watch, tensions rising. Juri&#039;s father won his boxing match and land deal.

*Day 7 (Present Day)&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri explained the rest of the story to the group. The accident triggered the Blood Tragedy of Futatsugi. Ranka had been exploited by Monzenbashi Bat, and Ao formed Janomiya. Juri reflected that the recent months had been the toughest. She came home late again. Her father asked about her absences. Juri said she was fighting for the future and would explain in a few months. She reflected on how much she and her father were alike, both unable to ignore past stains. She said she liked being with him, just the two of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Shizuka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime trio goes shopping and stops by Emiri’s office, where they meet Hinano and Kanoko. After awkward introductions, Shizuka admits she does not know what a factory is, so Kanoko explains. Emiri asks what country life is like; Chiharu and Sunao give different answers from Shizuka since they are more familiar with modern living. They mention meeting only recently, surprising Emiri. Shizuka proudly explains they are bound by their duty to protect Japan, and Emiri says, “As long as you have no regrets, it’s okay.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After thinking it over, she searches for information with help from others, but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Hagumu reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. After Walpurgisnacht, the organization dissolved, and many former Feathers joined the Kamihama Magia Union. Hagumu is uncertain, as she believes in Magical Girl Supremacy and cannot accept the Union&#039;s ideology of liberation without sacrifice. Shigure contacts her, asking to meet and talk. Shigure wants to convince Touka and Nemu to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Hagumu is conflicted—she cannot trust the Magius after being exploited, but she also cannot decide what to do. She asks for time to think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hagumu Azumi#Side Story|Hagumu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu meets Maria, a former Magius member who joined the Union. Maria notices Hagumu looks unwell and offers to listen.

** Hagumu asks Moka why she joined the Union. Moka says she joined because she was invited and everyone is kind.

** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches. Hagumu is moved but asks for more time to discuss it with Shigure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She fell in love with the feeling of cutting through the wind and quickly improved, eventually competing in freestyle competitions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Miyuri Yukari#Side Story|Miyuri&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s social anxiety worsened. She began experiencing panic attacks at competitions and could no longer compete. Her parents signed her up with the Hikarizuka Youth Association to help her interact with people. There, she met San for the first time. San invited her to dance practice. Miyuri fainted from overexcitement while watching San&#039;s legs. She realized she had a leg fetish and that it triggered her anxiety. She began avoiding San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s skating practice suffered. Her mother suggested she visit the Community Center. Miyuri avoided San again and went outside to practice skating alone at night. She felt free and happy while skating. San saw her dancing in the moonlight and was mesmerized. San decided she wanted to help Miyuri grow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish. San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training.

Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true.

That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun.

* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Alexandra&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Re-analyze and structure this. It is a double-story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra dreams of her school days. She sees her past self smiling and realizes she is dreaming of the time she was in love. In the dream, she discusses love with Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu. Himena shares a romantic story about stargazing with Hiko. When Himena asks about their own love lives, Alexandra begins crying unexpectedly. She denies anything is wrong, but Himena apologizes for being insensitive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Alexandra Kurusu#Side Story|Alexandra&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, Alexandra&#039;s teacher appears—but he looks like Shigure. Other people appear as Himena and Hagumu. She recalls that her teacher was her math teacher and club advisor. He was strict and had a reputation for being scary. Alexandra remembers how she would complain about him with her classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After club activities, Alexandra wants to practice singing more. She goes to the rooftop and finds the teacher there. He allows her to practice under his supervision. They begin meeting regularly on the rooftop. She learns he does not smoke and is careful about his throat. He mentions that being an adult is not that great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A male classmate confesses to Alexandra. She almost accepts but pictures the teacher&#039;s face and realizes she loves someone else. She rejects the classmate. Later, it rains, and the teacher lends her his towel. She realizes she has fallen in love with him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra begins trying to appeal to the teacher daily. She asks about his relationship status and learns he is single. She indirectly describes him when talking about her type. She leaves a love letter in his shoe locker. He thinks it is a prank but recognizes her handwriting. She keeps trying to convey her feelings, but he never takes her seriously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra&#039;s behavior becomes obvious in class. She eagerly volunteers to answer questions and is overly happy when called on. Her classmates are amazed she can talk to the scary teacher so cheerfully. She learns everyone fears him. She asks why he became a teacher, and he admits his parents were teachers and he had wanted to be a singer but never pursued it. He wonders if there is any meaning to his life. Alexandra feels sorrow and wants him to be happy. She begins planning to improve his reputation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey appears and offers to grant any wish. Alexandra wants to capture the teacher&#039;s heart through her own efforts. She decides not to make a wish yet. She organizes a surprise birthday party for him with her classmates. He is genuinely happy and thanks her. He realizes she planned it. She tells him all the students respect him. He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra continues her jokes and attempts to get closer to the teacher. She jokes about marriage and asks for a date on the school trip. He unexpectedly agrees to go shopping with her for a few minutes. She hugs him in excitement. A classmate spots them on the rooftop. Rumors spread quickly. The principal calls the teacher in. He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra cannot wake up from the dream. She imagines the teacher scolding her for playing with his feelings. She decides she needs to apologize in real life. She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location.

===Urara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara volunteers to do grocery shopping for Lavi. At the supermarket, she gets distracted by flash sales and buys beef, bean sprouts, and curry ingredients. She forgets Lavi&#039;s shopping list. Lavi forgives her but asks her to be more self-controlled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Urara Yume#Side Story|Urara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Urara announces she is returning to Yukuni to quit her talent agency. Lavi insists on accompanying her for safety due to the Magical Girl eradication faction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara and Lavi travel to Yukuni. Urara loses her wallet, but Lavi finds it. At the agency, Urara&#039;s manager asks her to coach a children&#039;s diabolo class as a final job. Urara accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the diabolo class, Urara teaches the class alone. Some children struggle to follow her teaching style. Lavi, Alexandra, and Asahi watch from a distance. During lunch, Urara admits she cannot explain techniques well. Lavi analyzes the wrist angles and timing, and the others offer to help. The class is a success.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Urara feels inadequate and misses her former partner, Kurara. She remembers Kurara was better at teaching. Lavi notices Urara is depressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Several days later, Urara returns to Yukuni to pick up her resignation papers. Lavi accompanies her. Urara admits she misses Kurara. Lavi warns her that reconciliation is unlikely, but Urara insists on trying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the agency, Urara confronts Kurara. Kurara reveals she always resented being compared to Urara&#039;s natural talent and felt like &amp;quot;Not-Urara.&amp;quot; She says breaking up the duo was for the best and asks Urara to stop involving herself. Urara is devastated. She returns to Kamihama and cries to Lavi, who comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Urara receives a message from her manager. A girl named Rei from the diabolo class wants more lessons. Urara agrees to meet her. Rei wants to learn the &amp;quot;Urara Special&amp;quot; to beat a prodigy her age. Urara remembers how she unknowingly hurt Kurara by copying her tricks too easily. She decides to coach Rei properly. Lavi offers to stay and help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara and Rei practice together. Lavi advises on timing. Rei successfully performs the trick. Urara tells her to remember the joy of performing, not just winning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rei competes and wins her first cup by performing the Urara Special, a trick even the prodigy could not do. Rei thanks Urara. Urara realizes that coaching helped her grow and face her regrets about Kurara. Rei asks Urara to be her permanent coach. Urara agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara returns to the Folklore base. She announces she will continue coaching diabolo classes. She wants to pass down her goal of making people smile through diabolo acts to the next generation. Lavi and the others support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nayuta&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta dreams of proving folkloric studies superior to Touka, but Lavi wakes her with obnoxious humming. Lavi scolds her for being a deep sleeper and rushes her to school in Takarazaki City, where Nayuta complains that Lavi acts like a stern stepmother rather than a kind maid her age.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In class, a self‑assessment exercise has Nayuta describe herself as quiet and diligent, but her peers call her stubborn, someone who hates losing and speaks her mind. She reluctantly accepts “stubborn” fits her persistent search for her father. The teacher introduces the Johari Window, explaining that without communication people understand themselves at most fifty percent and others only twenty‑five percent—a lesson that sticks with Nayuta.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Nayuta meets Iroha at the train station. Both are surprised the other remembers them. They discover they are the same grade and both hail from Takarazaki, and Iroha mentions she also searched for a lost loved one. Nayuta requests to see Yachiyo, apologizing for her bluntness. Iroha reassures her, noting they are both stubborn junior‑high girls from Takarazaki who came to Kamihama to find someone important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Yachiyo has no new information about Nayuta’s father. Tsuruno has Nayuta show a photo, but no one recognizes him. Felicia suggests Nayuta simply ask Touka, since she also grew up at Satomi Medical Center. Nayuta refuses, saying she cannot trust Touka, and apologizes for her stubbornness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Nayuta admits to Lavi she slept poorly because she cannot stop thinking about Touka. Mikage arrives, upset after a fight with Sudachi: Mikage complained about school, Sudachi said she envied Mikage for being able to attend, and they argued over whose position was harder.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home. Lavi approves of her standing her ground, and Nayuta realizes she and Lavi are more alike than she thought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, classmates who used to bully her avoid her, but Mikage is determined to find Magical Girl friends. Himika tells her about Emiri’s counseling center, so they go there together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the center, Emiri, Sasara, Asuka, and Kanoko are delighted to meet Mitama’s little sister. Mikage explains she is looking for a friend, but Emiri points out they are already her friends. After some banter about fashion, Mikage tries on Kanoko’s outfits and has a wonderful time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mikage wonders if the older girls truly see her as a friend or just as a kid. Himika suggests she meet girls her own age like Ui, Touka, and Nemu, though Mikage is uncertain about befriending the geniuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When she returns home, Mitama warns her that Ui has been kidnapped by Promised Blood and forbids Mikage from associating with the Kamihama Magia Union. Mikage reluctantly agrees but is frustrated her efforts to make friends have been stopped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama leaves for work and Mikage accuses her of hypocrisy—Mitama can spend time with the KMU while Mikage cannot. She runs out, declaring she will find a new big sister. She finds Emiri’s office closed but runs into Rika and Ren, who quickly realize she is Mitama’s sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Mikage bond over fashion and go to some cheap stores, where Mikage realizes she left her wallet. They play a crane game instead, and Rika wins stuffed animals for Ren and Mikage. Mikage asks Rika to be her big sister; Rika declines but encourages her to talk to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory. Kanoko lets her help make a pendant, but before Mikage can convince her to become her sister, Mitama arrives and drags her home. Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any. Later, she finds Mitama has made all her favorite foods, and they reconcile off‑screen; Mikage gives Mitama the pendant she made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage declares she will not give up on making Kamihama Magia Union friends. She then decides that since Lavi and Nayuta are older, they can be her big sisters instead. They exchange a look and agree to treat her for one day. Mikage expresses her hope that someday she and Sudachi can play with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited again. She jokes about the visitor&#039;s persistence. Yozuru and Sudachi return from stocking up on essentials. Sudachi trips, and Yozuru hesitates to help. Livia instructs Yozuru to help Sudachi stand and dust her off. Yozuru apologizes and explains she is not equipped with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She thanks Sudachi for finding her dropped ring. Sudachi sulks when Livia refuses to give her sweets as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the ring is a treasure and a way of reprimanding herself. It is the reason she lives for &amp;quot;Mister Sun.&amp;quot; She says she may tell the full story another time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia shares her philosophy: no matter how awful life is, do not drift in a bad direction or relieve resentment with a curse. Magical Girls are born from hope and must overcome struggles with hope. She warns against corrupting purity and urges supporting those with pure hearts. She says she has said enough for now and will share the rest when she is ready. She asks the visitor to promise to live strong, face forward, and not end up like her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After the battle, Nanaka explains Lil&#039; Kyubey followed her into the labyrinth and returned a flower she dropped. Nanaka asks Ryo to tell Lil&#039; Kyubey to stop visiting unfriendly Magical Girls. Ryo realizes Lil&#039; Kyubey avoids girls with potential and is not soliciting anyone.

This is also belonging to the anime partly. Write the main part on the magia record and then the second part on the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices. Kyubey, whom she calls a talking cat, keeps urging her to make a contract, but she does not know what to wish for—though she finds herself wishing God could speak to humans like Kyubey does.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the boy reads the fairy tale Kuroe recommended. He questions a detail in the story, but Kuroe simply accepts it because the writer says so. He jokes that he feels alive because Kuroe thinks so deeply, meaning it as a compliment. Later a teacher asks about her high school plans; Kuroe claims she has decided, but she is merely following her family’s expectations and secretly does not want to go to high school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey continues pressing her. Kuroe wonders whether it would be acceptable to let others fulfill her desires for her. She asks peers what they would wish for, but ends up jealous of those with elaborate fantasies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* At home she prays for a life without fighting or seeing people die. At school, in a depressed mood, she asks her boyfriend unsettling questions about sacrifice and guilt. When he realizes something is wrong, she says she is going to die soon. Despite his attempts to help, she breaks up with him, feeling she deceived him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to the train station and senses a Witch. Inside the Labyrinth, she saves a young, inexperienced Magical Girl. When the girl asks for a spare Grief Seed, Kuroe lies and says the Witch got away. The girl promises they will both become strong and leaves. Kuroe later concludes the girl likely died, a breaking point that leaves her feeling unworthy. That night she begins having a strange dream telling her to go to Kamihama, where Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Kuroe turns in her essay, which suggests separating students who enjoy school from those who do not. Her teacher tries to help, but Kuroe snaps about always having to pretend. She says she is going to die tomorrow and runs off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe dreams of Iroha, though she cannot understand her words. Her Doppel reflects that her contract gave her affirmation of existence, yet she still does not feel like anyone - she simply adapts to whatever situation she is in, resented by no one and dependent on no one, but still wondering who she should be. In the dream, Iroha asks what scares her and offers to figure out who Kuroe is together. Kuroe wakes up wondering why she dreamed of the camping trip, and she calls Iroha, deciding she wants to connect with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroeds&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Doppel Story|Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sasara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara is taken hostage at knifepoint in a convenience store. Despite her desire to be a knight, she is too terrified to act. Though the police arrest the criminal and she is safe, Sasara feels ashamed and hates herself for her cowardice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sasara Minagi#Side Story|Sasara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sasara meets Kyubey and when he makes his offer, Sasara accepts without hesitation. As her father works for an emergency rescue squad, a job she admires, he gave her a favorite picture book about a knight who defeats a dragon to save a village. Sasara carries this book everywhere and has always wanted to be like her father and the knight. She wishes to become a knight who can protect and save people, asking for a stronger heart and stronger convictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Sasara has been hunting witches and saving their victims ever since making her contract. She calls herself the Knight who protects the people of Kamihama, but over time her feelings become tainted. The people she rescues never remember what happened and do not acknowledge her. Sasara realizes she wants someone to appreciate her and questions whether she really wanted to become a knight at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book. She thought she could accept the people she helped not talking to her, but now it feels like she does not even exist. When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nanaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Needs to be re-checked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako to ask for their help fighting a witch they all share a connection to. To explain why she needs them, Nanaka tells them how she became a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka&#039;s father headed a traditional Japanese flower arranging school, but when he fell ill, senior students took over and grew the school&#039;s popularity while abandoning its traditions, shutting out Nanaka&#039;s family entirely. On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform. She decided to lay the Soul Gem with its owner&#039;s body, and when she placed the gem in the girl&#039;s hands, the girl began breathing again. Later, Kyubey explained that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Kyubey asks if Nanaka will tell the others this secret, but she says she is waiting for the right moment. Nanaka then reflects that her true revenge target is actually Kyubey himself. Her power makes it clear he is her enemy, though she does not know all the details, and she is waiting for the right time to turn against him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Nanaka&#039;s team is still unable to find the witch. Akira reports meeting a magical girl mercenary. As the girls plan their next move, Nanaka muses about how she is gathering the determination of magical girls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Shizuku&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Re-check.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuku enjoys time with her friends but feels disconnected from them and uncertain about her future. She finds comfort in Fūnī, a traveler who visits her family&#039;s cafe and shares his dream of finding a place to belong. When he invites her to search with him, she feels hopeful that she will not be alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Fūnī dies in an accident, and Shizuku makes a contract with Kyubey, wishing to be taken to him instantly. She arrives at the hospital as he dies, begging him not to leave her. She resolves to continue searching for a place to belong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As a magical girl, Shizuku gains the power to connect spaces, allowing her to travel the world much like Fūnī once did. She continues her search, taking jobs from an unknown magical girl who pays her to use her power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day after a job, Yachiyo Nanami, Tsuruno Yui, and Iroha Tamaki approach her. Iroha invites Shizuku to their house, where she meets Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba. She stays for dinner and overnight, observing how the five girls live together like a family. Yachiyo invites her to stay as long as she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku realizes the other girls have found their place to belong, but she understands that her own place was with Fūnī. She cries as his last words finally make sense to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, Shizuku ends her arrangement with the unknown magical girl and returns to Yachiyo&#039;s house, hoping she can stay there. When she arrives, the house is empty, and she sees the personal items that mark each girl&#039;s place. Overhearing them return, she realizes their home is complete with five people and she does not belong there. She leaves quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and the others had prepared a welcome party with cake, but Shizuku never comes. Yachiyo senses that Shizuku might disappear if you look away and admits she should have seen this coming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku returns to the unknown magical girl and asks for more work. When asked why she came back, she says their picture was complete with five people and she must keep searching for where she belongs. She mentally apologizes to Yachiyo, knowing her actions will cause disaster but feeling unprepared to take responsibility. She wonders if she will ever find solid ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Akira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After Nanaka and Sasara contracts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Akira wakes from a dream about being attacked by a familiar and finds Sasara Minagi nearby, who is out for a walk. Sasara offers to help Akira search for an old man&#039;s lost cane, recalling she saw children playing with a red cane, and the two head off together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akira Shinobu#Side Story|Akira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** When Akira started middle school, a girl asked her to be a bodyguard against a stalker. The girl brought her to a park, confessed her love, and admitted to lying about the stalker. Akira politely rejected her, saying she didn&#039;t know much about that sort of thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Akira learned the girl had vanished and spent days searching for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day Akira found the barrier, she retraced the girl&#039;s steps in the park and stepped into a witch&#039;s labyrinth. She found the missing girl among blank-faced victims marked by a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Kyubey appeared, explained about witches and magical girls, and offered a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Familiars attacked and overwhelmed her despite her karate training. Injured, Akira wished to save all those people, transformed, and destroyed the familiars.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, none of the victims remembered the incident. Kyubey told Akira she needed to defeat the witch itself, which became her destiny as a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a magical girl, Akira patrolled Kamihama investigating witch-related incidents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day, she encountered a familiar without transforming and dropped her Soul Gem. Unable to retrieve it, she fled the barrier and collapsed unconscious outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira woke, Nanaka Tokiwa introduced herself as the magical girl who found her and picked up her Soul Gem. Nanaka advised withdrawing since Akira had collapsed, and Akira reluctantly agreed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Nanaka called asking for a favor. When they met again, Nanaka requested a duel, claiming Akira was weak and should quit hunting witches. Akira refused, citing her family&#039;s dojo, and they dueled. After some fighting, Nanaka ended the duel and apologized. She explained she wanted to test Akira&#039;s resolve and invited her to work together as a team. Akira relented after Nanaka claimed she was troubled and couldn&#039;t fight witches alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present day, Akira returns the cane to the old man and thanks Sasara. She reflects on meeting many magical girls since joining Nanaka and wonders how many exist in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Manaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes Manaka cooking at her family&#039;s failing restaurant, Walnuts. She dreams of following her father&#039;s footsteps as a chef and believes that gaining admission to the prestigious St. Lillianna Academy will help her cook like a high class lady and restore the restaurant&#039;s popularity. Kyubey notes her poor grades make passing unlikely, but Manaka insists this is her father&#039;s last chance and resolves to study.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Manaka Kurumi#Side Story|Manaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Upon starting at Mizuna, Manaka visits the student council and offers to cook for an upcoming joint assembly with St. Lillian. The council dismisses her, explaining they already arranged a chef.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Walking home, Kyubey again offers a contract. Fed up, Manaka accepts but wishes not for the restaurant&#039;s success, but for a chance to spread their restaurant&#039;s flavors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Meanwhile, her father receives invitations to tour as a chef and seems genuinely happy traveling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt; Manaka questions why she even bothered trying.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Manaka finishes selling bentos and keeps one for herself. Sana Futaba rushes in, upset at arriving too late.

Sana accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana promises to arrive earlier tomorrow, but Manaka reveals this may be her last day selling bentos. She admits she thinks she made her restaurant even more obscure, and if she is not helping it, she sees no point in cooking. Sana tearfully confesses that Manaka&#039;s bentos became the only thing she looked forward to during lonely lunch breaks. She insists Manaka should not quit because she is still making people happy. Seeing Sana smile gives Manaka new motivation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Ria Ami#Side Story|Ria&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Kako, Manaka&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A documentary crew follows Ria Ami, whose natural beauty causes crowds to part, though she admits she has no basis for comparison when asked about her challenges. Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ria asks Manaka to be her bodyguard while buying the magazine featuring her article, wearing sunglasses to avoid being seen. Inside, she discovers her article occupies only one page, while Yachiyo has an eight-page spread. Furious and convinced Yachiyo did it on purpose, Ria tears the magazine in half, and the clerk charges her for it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;riass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ria Ami#Side Story|Ria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Tsumugi proposes promotional ideas to help Walnuts, including using Ria&#039;s modeling. Ria agrees, and Manaka will seek her father&#039;s approval.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they organize &amp;quot;The Rice Omelette Festival&amp;quot; at Walnuts. No customers arrive for the first half hour. Customers eventually come, but they are from Ria&#039;s advertising. Tsumugi becomes sad, feeling she is not as strong as Ria.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the event, Tsumugi cries and confesses disappointment that none of her followers came, feeling she is just an average student with no unique qualities. Ria encourages her not to let failure discourage her, insisting she has talent. Tsumugi decides to make a contract with Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Manaka and Ria fight familiars in a witch&#039;s barrier. Tsumugi suddenly appears and uses her new magic to consume a familiar&#039;s attack, gaining power from it. The three defeat the witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Walnuts afterward, Tsumugi honestly criticizes Manaka&#039;s omelette, explaining her wish now forces her to tell the truth about food. In a flashback, she wished to help Manaka by learning what she could do. She realized she needed to give objective criticism to truly help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Tsumugi helps Manaka close Walnuts. She notices Manaka changed the recipe based on her feedback.

===Ren&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren stands on a rooftop, contemplating suicide. Kyubey warns her that if she repeats her previous actions, her Soul Gem will be destroyed. Ren understands. She thinks about how people have always said hurtful things and believes she cannot live in such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nearby, Rika defeats a Witch and sees Ren about to jump. She saves her and asks why she wants to die. Ren cannot answer. She reflects on her childhood: she has always had trouble speaking and was teased and bullied for it. She attempted suicide once before but was scared of dying. Kyubey appeared and granted her wish to live.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explained that the bullying was caused by a Witch&#039;s influence—Witches hurt people, who then hurt others. Ren resolved to destroy Witches to create a better world. However, no matter how many Witches she defeated, people still acted cruelly. Kyubey told her that even destroying all Witches would not remove malice from people&#039;s hearts. This is why Ren wanted to die again, but she cannot explain any of this to Rika.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika takes Ren to meet other Magical Girls. At Emiri&#039;s Trouble Consultation Office, Ren meets Akira but cannot introduce herself and nearly cries. Emiri brings her to Ria, who gives her hand cream, and Konomi, who gives her chamomile tea. Rika then takes Ren to the chemistry club, where Hinano gives her candy instead of medicine. They visit Kanoko at her family&#039;s metal factory, where Kanoko shows a dress she designed with mushroom motifs and gives Ren accessories made of metal sheets. Emiri leaves, and Rika admits she never actually listened to Ren&#039;s problem.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika shares her own story: she wished for someone she loved to love her back, even though that person already liked someone else. She says she stole that love with a selfish wish and asks Ren if she thinks she is a horrible person. Ren manages to say she does not think so. Rika is relieved. She explains that to get others to open up, you must share the secrets that create distance.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren tries to tell her story but cannot get the words out and begins crying. Rika tells her not to force herself. She shows Ren all the gifts she received from the others and says that if all these people were thinking about her, she should continue to live. She says the world is filled with both bad and beautiful things, and the most painful thing is to have nothing. Ren says she will live. Rika leaves, and Ren thanks her. Ren thinks that if Rika can accept her story, she will be able to live forever.&lt;br /&gt;

===Konoha&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoha manages the finances and makes decisions for Hazuki and Ayame. When Hazuki calls to say she&#039;s stuck at meetings and suggests take-out, Konoha decides to cook instead to save money. Despite Hazuki&#039;s warnings, Ayame tries Konoha&#039;s cooking. Later, Hazuki returns to find Ayame sick; Konoha learns Ayame was too polite to refuse the food. Hazuki offers to handle meals from now on, which prompts Konoha to resolve that she will learn to make delicious food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konoha Shizumi#Side Story|Konoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha buys cookware and studies cooking theory, suspecting Hazuki might be a cooking prodigy. She makes a disastrous meal incorporating everything she read, and Hazuki collapses after tasting it. Ayame brings home a flyer for a cooking class at &amp;quot;Youshoku Walnuts,&amp;quot; noting that the food there made Hazuki cry. Ayame encourages Konoha, and Konoha resolves to take the class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Konoha meets the teacher, Manaka Kurumi, at the restaurant. Manaka attempts to teach knife skills and how to crack eggs, but Konoha struggles with both. Manaka promises to help her improve. She has Konoha make practice dishes, but Konoha burns oil, over-dashes rice, and explodes miso soup, so Manaka has to take over each time. When finished, Manaka tastes it, insists it&#039;s good to protect her reputation, eats it all, and passes out. Konoha tries the leftovers and confirms it is truly terrible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha hunts a witch with her team while distracted by thoughts about cooking. After they defeat it, Himika Mao arrives late, introduces herself, and asks if they are sisters; Hazuki explains they are not. Himika mentions she is thirteen with five younger siblings. When Ayame asks about being an older sister, Himika invites her to meet her family. Konoha asks to come as Ayame&#039;s guardian upon learning Himika cooks for her family, and Himika accepts. Hazuki says she will prepare dinner at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, at Himika&#039;s house, Konoha and Ayame observe the cramped living space. Himika explains she uses cheap leftover meat blends from a disposal man to feed her family. She serves dinner, and all her siblings along with Ayame eat. When Konoha asks if the food is tasty, the siblings say they never think it&#039;s bad because Himika does her best. Konoha reflects on Azalea&#039;s House and realizes she was too focused on theory rather than on who she was cooking for. She thanks Himika and leaves with Ayame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, Ayame and Hazuki find Konoha cooking again. Konoha promises to give up if she fails this time. Focusing on her feelings rather than theory, she makes a meal from Azalea&#039;s. Hazuki and Ayame try it and say it&#039;s bad, but it&#039;s edible. Konoha is excited that someone could actually eat her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ayame returns home to find Konoha cooking again. Hazuki observes that Konoha has found joy in the act of cooking. Konoha narrates that she learned cooking is about heart, and could now make food people could finish. She thinks cooking is fun, though Ayame and Hazuki sometimes scream loud enough to startle the neighbors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Konoha attempts beef stroganoff, a dish Hazuki admits is difficult. Hazuki and Ayame try it and collapse. Konoha says she will redo it. She narrates that experience matters, and wonders what to try next.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hazuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame meet with Nanaka, Meiyui, Akira, and Kako at a restaurant to discuss how to handle situations where both teams target the same Witch. Meiyui proposes a first-come, first-served rule, but Hazuki points out it would lead to disputes over who arrived first. Ayame suggests settling conflicts with rock-paper-scissors, and though Meiyui argues there&#039;s no time for games in battle, Hazuki has them try it on the spot. When Ayame and Meiyui play, Meiyui uses a martial arts technique to change Ayame&#039;s hand, causing an argument between the groups. Hazuki calms everyone down and suggests they go home for the day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hazuki Yusa#Side Story|Hazuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls reconvene at the restaurant. Hazuki proposes a new rule: anyone who uses magic against a Witch gains proportional rights to the Grief Seed. Both teams agree, and Hazuki suggests they gather data by hunting together. They split into mixed teams—Ayame and Kako form one; Hazuki, Akira, and Meiyui another and Konoha and Nanaka stand by to help as needed. After the successful joint hunt, Nanaka meets with Hazuki alone at the restaurant. She reveals she believes Hazuki manipulated the entire situation from the first meeting, noting that her team was impressed with Hazuki&#039;s group&#039;s teamwork but that she herself was more struck by Hazuki&#039;s modus operandi. Nanaka asks why Hazuki orchestrated everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki admits she wanted Konoha, who is introverted, to connect with others and that after the Witch fight, Konoha seemed genuinely happy. She explains her goal was simply to build connections between her group and other Kamihama Magical Girls. Nanaka accepts this and says she&#039;s glad to work with her. Later, Hazuki writes in her notebook that Nanaka is shrewd but fascinating, and she resolves to continue reaching out to other Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ayame&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame encounters Felicia during a Witch fight, and their rivalry quickly escalates when Felicia dismisses Ayame&#039;s challenge to lead the girls to argue and accidentally let the Witch escape. Frustrated by losing to Felicia specifically, Ayame confronts her afterward, and despite Kako&#039;s attempts to mediate, the two insist on settling things through some competition. Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch. Emerging back in the park, Felicia thanks Ayame, and they realize the race was never finished. They resume, but Ayame admits she&#039;s fine with not winning and she has come to accept Felicia as a strong rival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ayamess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ayame Mikuri#Side Story|Ayame&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Masara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro gives Masara cookies simply because she wants to, leaving Masara confused by the gesture. Masara flashes back to their first meeting, when Kokoro had blamed herself for being unable to protect others and Masara told her she should not carry that guilt. Kokoro had asked to stay by Masara&#039;s side, explaining that those words had saved her. In the present, Kokoro asks what Masara is thinking about, and when Masara admits she was remembering their first meeting, Kokoro smiles. Masara does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Masara Kagami#Side Story|Masara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara visits Mitama for magical strengthening, bringing many Grief Seeds with her. Mitama notes her unusual enthusiasm, and Masara explains she wants to get stronger in order to find something that might change her life. Mitama suggests she try attending a summer festival and hands her a flyer, but Masara shows no interest. When Mitama brings up Kokoro, mentioning that Kokoro has talked about her, Masara insists they are merely working together, not friends, and finds Kokoro&#039;s expectations troublesome. Mitama claims Masara is actually worried about Kokoro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara reflects on her childhood, remembering how her parents had her swim from a young age. Despite showing talent, she never felt any joy or sense of accomplishment, though she continued hoping it might eventually change. It never did. She became a magical girl thinking her dull life might finally become interesting, but even that eventually grew boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead. The Witch targets Kokoro, and Masara injures herself by blocking the attack. The Witch escapes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro apologizes, but Masara claims she only did what was most logical, since the Witch could not have been defeated alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Masara keeps flashing back to the moment the Witch attacked Kokoro whenever she looks at her injury. The recurring memory bothers her, though she does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Kokoro offers to hunt the Witch again with Masara. Masara flashes back to the previous fight and insists she will hunt it alone. She tells Kokoro she is a burden and that she does not like getting hurt. Masara leaves Kokoro crying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara tells Mitama what happened. Mitama suggests Masara was actually trying to protect Kokoro. Masara is at a loss and wonders why being around Kokoro causes her to get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro blames herself for causing Masara trouble. She senses the same Witch and, respecting Masara&#039;s wish to hunt alone, decides to fight it by herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help. Masara agrees and tells Kokoro to call her next time. When Kokoro worries about causing trouble, Masara insists she is doing it for herself, because she does not like seeing Kokoro get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Kokoro notices the summer festival flyer and asks if Masara is interested. Masara admits she is a little interested.

Desperate to help, she wished to Kyubey to cure the florist&#039;s illness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;!--The Flashback: Their First Meeting--&amp;gt;Kaede and Kako visit the shop for the first time. Kako searches for a specific flower, which Konomi identifies. During tea break, Kako explains she read about the flowers in a novel and wants to buy some for a friend&#039;s birthday. Kaede admits she has never given flowers but receiving them once felt wonderful. Konomi smiles and says she has an idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of the flower giveaway, Konomi, Kaede, and Kako take to the streets, suddenly appearing to hand bouquets to strangers before disappearing. A lottery winner, a despairing old man, and a boy who just got a girl&#039;s number all receive flowers. Later, the girls reunite. Kaede gave to ten people, Kako to thirteen. Konomi apologizes, but they agree to try again the day after tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Konomi, Kaede, and Kako realize they are the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi panics, fearing they have made people hate flowers. They notice a little girl crying because her mother refused to buy her a toy ring. Konomi offers a flower, but the girl wants a ring. Kako fashions the flower into a ring, and the girl calls it pretty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi realizes they have been giving flowers without understanding what recipients truly want. She decides to create something more meaningful.

===Rika&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Hinano, Emiri, Ria, Manaka, Akira&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Rika is invited to a blind date by Emiri Kisaki, who brings along Hinano Miyako, a girl recently heartbroken. When the boys on the date mock Hinano&#039;s youthful appearance and odd way of speaking, Rika surprises her by defending them. Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her. Emiri and Rika quickly reassure Hinano, with Rika adding that Hinano is actually cool for having been able to confess her feelings—unlike Rika, who never confessed at all and watched her crush end up with someone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri then suggests Rika should make a wish, revealing that she and Hinano are magical girls who each received one wish in exchange for fighting monsters. Rika wonders if this is some kind of game. Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika muses that her wish was granted and she is now dating her crush, yet she feels deeply unhappy. When Kyubey asks what is wrong, she admits that every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens with unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They later go to a cafe, where Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi are also present. Ria grows increasingly annoyed overhearing Mayu&#039;s conversation with her boss, particularly when he hints at wanting to take her somewhere else and praises her cooking. At home that evening, Mayu cooks for her mother and asks if her father would have eaten her cooking, wondering what life would be like if he were still alive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayu Kozue#Side Story|Mayu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at school, Mayu talks with Sayuki about the sword exhibit. She then heads to work, and after her shift ends, her boss mentions his wife and child are away and invites her out to eat. Mayu declines. As she leaves, she forgets her phone, and her boss rushes to return it, asking again about dinner with growing intensity. Ria suddenly appears and bumps into him, yelling at them for flirting and demanding they sit for a lecture. Mayu&#039;s boss says she ruined it and leaves. Ria warns Mayu that her sweet, innocent air attracts older men and that if things continue, his family will fall apart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home that night, Mayu reflects on the day she learned of her father&#039;s death and on Ria&#039;s words. Kyubey appears and offers a contract. Thinking she does not want her boss&#039;s family to suffer the same hardship her family did, Mayu makes her wish: to stop his family from breaking apart. That night, she narrates that her boss transferred to a new job, and she is sure her wish was granted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later at school, Mayu finds boys have started hitting on her. Ria constantly steps in to drive them off. Before Ria can finish telling Mayu to shape up, they both sense a Witch. The girls reveal they are Magical Girls, and they track the Witch to the museum&#039;s special exhibit room. Sayuki suddenly appears and reveals she is also a Magical Girl. During the fight, Mayu notices the Witch only targets Ria. She asks Sayuki to lend her strength and launches a surprise attack, destroying the Witch. Afterward, Mayu thinks that to protect people she must think clearly before acting, and Ria admits Mayu was more reliable than usual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As a child, Sayuki attends an idol performance with her parents, but when the crowd becomes dangerously wild, she is almost squeezed to death, leaving her with lasting trauma.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayuki Fumino#Side Story|Sayuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Growing up in a happy family, Sayuki develops a deep interest in katanas that creates a gap between her and her classmates. Though they respect her passion, she feels lonely without someone to share it with. This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert. Sayuki believes speaking out is important no matter the outcome and swears to protect the kind people who have been kind to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka. Moka thanks Alina for saving her and says she has now made new friends, resolving to devote herself to exterminating witches and admitting she is only a little afraid of them now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Riko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Sis = Miss K. Check what Exedra says&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Years ago, Riko spent her childhood with a cheerful older neighbor girl she called &amp;quot;Sis&amp;quot; while her parents worked long hours at their family bento shop. They grew as close as sisters until Sis became engaged to marry someone far away. When Sis&#039;s father suddenly opposed the match despite approving it before, Riko wished upon Kyubey that everyone would give their blessings to the marriage. Her wish worked, and Sis moved away happily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Riko Chiaki#Side Story|Riko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Riko struggles with loneliness waiting alone at home while her parents work overtime. One night, after they call to say they cannot return until after midnight due to a huge order, years of broken promises finally overwhelm her. She snaps, calls them liars who were never there for her like Sis was, and tells them she hates them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko goes Witch hunting to vent her stress but nearly dies against a stronger Witch. In that moment, despair crushes her and she wishes she had never made her wish so Sis would still be there. Tsukasa, a regular at her family&#039;s shop, finds her crying and listens as Riko confides everything about her feelings and what happened with Sis. Speaking from experience, Tsukasa tells her that separation is no excuse for broken contact and recommends she reach out to Sis directly. Riko messages Sis that night before falling asleep exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sis replies promptly. She explains she wanted to contact Riko but left home after arguing with her father and thought a visit would be awkward. She also reveals she was hospitalized to give birth and only discharged that day, inviting Riko to come see her instead. When Riko asks her parents for permission, expecting them to refuse, they apologize sincerely and grant permission for the trip.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Riko visits Sis with her parents. Sis introduces her husband and newborn daughter, hoping Riko will get along with her child just as they once got along. Riko makes a silent promise to be a good sister to this baby and aims to grow into a fine lady, just like Sis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maria&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Maria bids her parents goodbye for the day. Her mother gives her money for dinner, which Maria insists on keeping only a small portion of, and Maria mentions she will be at her part‑time daycare job after school. On her way to school, she runs into two little girls, one of whom attends the daycare where she works.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the daycare, the children swarm Maria with requests. She notices a boy named Shin‑kun looking down and tries to find out what is wrong, but he does not want to talk. Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work. Maria suggests she spend a day with Shin to reconnect, and Shin’s mother agrees. Maria promises to put together a plan by the weekend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Maria’s classmates tease her about being a widow with a love child, and she plays along before explaining she is helping a mother and son from the daycare. Later she presents her weekend plans to Shin’s mother, who is impressed and begins looking forward to the outing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, Maria goes to the park where she knows Shin and his mother should be. She watches as they struggle to connect: Shin wants to play in a fountain, but his mother cannot explain why he should not, and they end up standing awkwardly. Maria pretends to run into them and decides to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to the playground, where Maria encourages Shin to try a tightrope bridge. When he gets nervous, she prompts his mother to take his hand, and together they cross. After lunch, Shin’s mother gets a call from work asking her to come in on her day off. She agrees, and Shin looks heartbroken. Maria offers to watch Shin until dark, and his mother gratefully accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria takes Shin to various places, and he sadly remarks that his mother is too busy for him. Understanding his loneliness, Maria vows to make the day special. At the aquarium she convinces him to see a show he ends up loving. As evening falls, they stop for takoyaki, and Maria explains that his mother tells him not to eat while walking for good reasons. Shin finally understands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shin’s mother appears, explaining work no longer needs her. She admits she has trouble expressing herself, but Shin overhears and hugs her. They both confess they thought the other did not love them. Maria shares that she was often lonely as a child but still loved her parents, and she tells Shin’s mother she does not need to be perfect. Shin shows his mother the souvenir and the last piece of takoyaki he saved for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As darkness falls, Maria walks home alone. She reflects on whether she could ever be a good mother, remembering Kyubey’s revelation that her Soul Gem is her actual soul and her body is merely a vessel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mel&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mel stays home after her reading warns of lethal danger, but Kanagi dismisses her concerns and drags her to school anyway. On the way, a Witch targets only Mel before escaping, and a possessed car then attempts to run her down. She flees west into the Mizuno region, where Yachiyo saves her. Despite Kanagi&#039;s warnings about discrimination from the West, Yachiyo&#039;s kindness puts her at ease, and Mel accepts her invitation to stay. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she requests to join Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kanagi gives permission. From that day, Mel bonds with Mifuyu, Tsuruno, and Momoko as part of her new team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One other day, Mel arrives excitedly with entirely positive readings and offers to read the team&#039;s fortunes. Despite Yachiyo&#039;s skepticism, Mel coaxes her into a session predicting a career breakthrough.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Yachiyo announces with disbelief that she was chosen for a nationwide magazine feature on Kamihama&#039;s cafes. Mifuyu and Momoko then receive positive readings about a matchmaking and exam results.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes. Afterward they visit Mitama, who suggests they train in Endless Mirrors if they plan to remain independent rather than join Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Temari and Mikura commute to school exhausted. Temari stayed up testing a new metal pen, and Mikura correctly guesses she is in modern literature mode.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Ikumi explains how in middle school she dreamed of becoming an idol despite lacking talent, while her friend Yumi dreamed of volleyball. They realized they could fulfill each other&#039;s dreams instead. Yumi became a volleyball ace while Ikumi pursued idol training, though she struggled because her natural personality kept slipping through her cutesy act and she failed to gain recognition. Kyubey repeatedly offered her a contract, but she refused because wishing for her dream would mean she never achieved it through hard work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In high school, Ikumi worked at a school-organized maid cafe that gave struggling students performance opportunities.

When the cafe was forced to close due to building eviction, Ikumi grieved alone on the final night. Kyubey appeared and reminded her that her wish didn&#039;t have to be for her own dream.

** Her wish came true when the landowner, moved by the final performance, sold the cafe to the school who remodeled and reopened it. Later, while fighting a witch, Ikumi was saved by another magical girl who turned out to be Yumi. Yumi revealed she had wished for someone to recognize Ikumi&#039;s talents and give her an idol chance.

Yumi eventually joined too, and Mifuyu introduced them as Black Feathers to Ryo, who recognized Ikumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kush&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama’s adjuster shop, Karin Misono finds Kush sleeping inside the tent. Mitama explains that Kush cannot stay awake during the day due to her wish: “I just want the morning to never come.” Kush reveals she made her wish because she longed to live in a fantasy world like the one in her favorite book, &#039;Good‑Bye Fable,&#039; and her magical girl outfit resembles the story’s protagonist. Ui Tamaki and Little Kyubey arrive, and Kush briefly attacks Little Kyubey, mistaking him for the Kyubey she despises. Over tea, Mitama notices Kush’s long canine teeth stained red and later receives a message from her sister Mikage about a rumor of a vampire girl in the Hokuyo Mountains. Karin and Kush agree to investigate together, but Kush runs off to her night class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, the two meet up with Riko Chiaki and Ashley Taylor, who are making a horror video about the same rumor. The group searches the mountains at night. Kush can see in the dark and leads them, but she is still sleepy. They find a discarded camera containing a video of Rui Mizuki dropping it and disappearing. When a mysterious sound frightens the others, they accidentally leave Kush behind. Left alone, Kush eats cherry tomatoes and senses a witch. The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one. They also learn that Rui is Kush’s friend; she had filmed Kush entering the barrier before being caught by it. The group later glimpses a white‑haired silhouette and flees, thinking a real vampire might exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley posts a video warning others to stay away from the mountains. At Mitama’s shop, Ui hears about the incident and learns the vampire was just a misunderstanding. Meanwhile, Chika Aoba, whose animal traps and axe cuts the group had found, decides to move her work farther from the trails so she does not frighten anyone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Homura Akemi in Magia Record#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is flooded with more memories of her other self preparing for Walpurgisnacht with allies. She wonders if there might be a real possibility for salvation in this timeline, where no one has to be sacrificed. However, she believes it has nothing to do with her. She breaks out of the labyrinth and the dream ends. Kyubey asks if she was curious about what happened to her other self. Homura says it does not matter; she believes in Madoka&#039;s words that her efforts will not be in vain. A new universe is about to be born, and Homura must protect it for Madoka&#039;s sake. Kyubey states they will both forget Madoka, but Homura is determined to never forget her.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new universe where Witches do not exist, Kyoko is surprised to find Sayaka has disappeared. Mami explains the Law of Cycles causes Magical Girls to disappear when they lose hope. Homura cries as she remembers Madoka, but neither Mami nor Kyoko know who Madoka is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka spend the day together in Kamihama, enjoying each other’s company until they encounter Ria Ami, a model and magical girl who has already defeated the witch they were tracking. Ria invites them to tea and later takes them to the fashion district, where she notices that Homura’s attention never leaves Madoka. Admitting her jealousy, Ria says she wishes someone would look at her the same way, and Homura replies that she will protect Madoka. After Ria departs, Homura thinks that even if Madoka does not realize how cool she is, she will still save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Homura steals weapons from a group called the Soukaihou using her time stop, but she is caught afterward by Meiyui Chun, a magical girl affiliated with the group. Instead of punishing her, Meiyui thanks her for taking weapons that belonged to troublemakers and invites Homura to share mapo tofu. Over the meal, Meiyui learns Homura fights to protect someone precious to her and says she understands, offering her support and suggesting the spicy dish whenever the burden becomes too painful to bear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Homura is practicing her shooting alone when Natsuki Utsuho, a magical girl who cheers for others, offers to encourage her. Natsuki deduces Homura’s time stop ability and gives advice that significantly improves her aim. When Natsuki suggests Homura ask Mami to coach her, Homura calls, and Mami arrives within an hour. Mami uses her ribbons to move within Homura’s time stop during a sparring match, praising her rapid progress afterward. Homura agrees to return to Mitakihara with Mami, reflecting that she will keep moving forward to become a magical girl capable of protecting Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Sayaka arrives in Kamihama City to go shopping with Kyosuke Kamijou, though she insists it is not a date. When she hears a scream, she runs toward it and discovers Hinano Miyako at an empty elementary school. Hinano explains she was bumped on the head while setting up the chemistry lab, and Sayaka decides to help investigate. They find the culprit was a baseball that flew through the window from the baseball club practicing outside. Hinano returns the ball to a child and gives Sayaka a perfume she made, wishing her good luck on her date despite Sayaka&#039;s protests.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later in the shopping district, Emiri Kisaki approaches Sayaka, drawn by the perfume. After realizing Sayaka is not Hinano, Emiri offers to coordinate her wardrobe, claiming to be the &amp;quot;Cutest in the World.&amp;quot; Sayaka learns Emiri is also a magical girl but remains unsatisfied with the outfit suggestions, explaining the person she likes does not care about appearances. Emiri takes her to the top of a tower, where they view the city at night. Sayaka thanks her before heading to the train station, reflecting that her love is supported by the magical girls of Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the outing with Kyosuke arrives. After buying a CD, Kyosuke messages that his train is delayed. Sayaka fights a Witch she senses and meets Kokoro Awane, defeating it together. With time to spare, Kokoro invites her for tea. Sayaka shares that she became a magical girl to heal someone she loves, and Kokoro reveals she wished to bring her family together. Though problems remain, Kokoro believes she can unite them through her own power, and Sayaka finds strength in her words. When Kyosuke is about to arrive, Kokoro encourages her, and Sayaka runs to the station, feeling it will be a good day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day in Kamihama, Mami saves Kanoko Yayoi from familiars, and Kanoko explains her dream is to become a fashion designer.

They spend the day shopping and at an arcade, and Mami admits she has not enjoyed herself like this in a while. Rika reminds Mami of Kyoko Sakura, and Mami reflects on her friendships in Mitakihara. They exchange contact information and agree to hang out again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, after Mami fights off familiars, Nanaka Tokiwa confronts her, having heard rumors about the strongest Magical Girl from Mitakihara. Nanaka wants to team up or fight her, and Akira Shinobu arrives, also eager to challenge Mami based on exaggerated rumors. Mami agrees to fight them on one condition: they have tea with her first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Ultimate&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart. She also finds Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, who were never supposed to become magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Panicking because she cannot prevent magical girls from becoming witches in this universe, Madoka investigates. She discovers the source blocking her intervention originated when the Holy Quintet first visited Kamihama, and she observes how Touka and Nemu—fated to die in every other universe—are alive and plotting with the Magius to lure Walpurgis Night to hatch Eve. Madoka reflects that their plan, if successful, would achieve what she herself accomplished. Unsure whether to intervene, she decides to investigate further and chooses Iroha as her next focal point, since this is the only universe where Iroha contracted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka observes Iroha’s past and finds the singular difference: on a normal day, Iroha took her usual shortcut but accidentally kicked a small pebble, nearly making her late. This tiny butterfly effect led to Iroha contracting and Ui, Nemu, and Touka surviving, derailing the universe’s fate. Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka decides not to interfere, fearing a clash that could destroy the universe. However, she laments that she may have no choice but to trample Iroha’s wish if this universe, now a singularity, threatens the stability of all other universes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* After contracting with Kyubey, Oriko foresees Madoka becoming Kriemhild Gretchen and ending the world. To prevent this, she begins manipulating events and people around her. She uses Yuma Chitose as a distraction to keep Kyubey away from Madoka, then later convinces Yuma to contract by claiming Kyoko is in danger. Oriko also recruits Kirika Kure as her pawn. When Kirika kills another magical girl, Oriko decides to use the murders to further distract Kyubey from Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Oriko Mikuni in Magia Record#Side Story|Oriko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Oriko has another vision revealing that Madoka is not in Mitakihara but somewhere else entirely. She witnesses a spatial distortion connecting Mitakihara to Kamihama City and begins to suspect Kamihama might hold the key to changing the future. Oriko sends Kirika to Kamihama under the pretense of buying tea, instructing her to gather information from Mami and other magical girls there. She then takes Yuma to Kamihama herself, leaving her inside a witch barrier knowing Kyoko will come to rescue her. While exploring Kamihama for answers, Oriko nearly dies inside a powerful witch barrier and realizes she needs Kirika&#039;s help to continue. Kirika eventually returns home safely, reporting that Mami and Kyoko are also investigating Kamihama and that the city has an unusually high number of witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After cleaning, they take a break. Ui wants to have a party at the house, which has always been a dream of hers since she was hospitalized for so long. Iroha agrees. They buy cakes and cookies from a nearby pastry shop. Back at the house, they hold a small party. Yachiyo is worried about the cost, but Iroha says she and Ui paid with their allowance. They toast to everyone&#039;s help with cleaning. Felicia accidentally spills juice, and they laugh. As evening falls, they return to Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Ui receive a New Year&#039;s card from their parents overseas. They want to send something back but cannot decide how. Tsuruno and Felicia are watching a comedy show about an elderly couple sending video messages to their children. This gives Iroha and Ui the idea to record a video message for their parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They film their first video, but Yachiyo says it is too ordinary. Sana suggests making it more unique. Ui wants to introduce everyone at Mikazuki Villa to their parents. Iroha agrees. They try filming again with a script, but the takes go poorly—Yachiyo overthinks her cooking scene, Felicia struggles to tutor Ui, and Tsuruno is late. Ui suggests they abandon the script and just be themselves. They record a video of their daily life together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the video, Iroha and Ui perform a shrine maiden&#039;s dance they learned from helping at a shrine over New Year&#039;s. They tell their parents not to worry and wish them luck with work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s parents watch the video overseas. They are moved by seeing their daughters having so much fun. The father decides they will return to Japan this year to see their daughters in person. Iroha hopes her mother can see their shrine maiden dance next year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Kimono)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Mitakihara City’s school closing ceremony, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura walk out together. Sayaka is glad the term is over, Madoka is excited, and Homura admits she will feel lonely without seeing them every day. Sayaka ruffles her hair and says they can still meet over break, whether hunting witches or hanging out. Madoka suggests visiting Mizuna Shrine in Kamihama for New Year’s to draw “Ultimate Fortunes.” Sayaka has other plans but encourages them to go together. After she leaves, Madoka asks Homura if she knows how to put on formal wear. Homura does not, so Madoka invites her to a kimono‑dressing class she found, saying she wanted the two of them to dress up with Sayaka but lacked the courage to go alone. Homura agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class, the instructor dresses them first; Madoka thinks Homura looks beautiful, and Homura calls Madoka cute. When the actual lesson begins, Madoka struggles badly and trips, while Homura learns quickly enough that the instructor says she will have no trouble. Madoka takes a break outside, feeling useless. Sayaka happens by and asks why she wanted to dress up in the first place - to have fun. Sayaka tells her not to overthink; even if she makes mistakes, she will still have the memories. Encouraged, Madoka returns and finally manages to dress herself after another trip.&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year’s Day, both have their formal wear put on at a store. They joke that the class was interesting but not very useful for the real occasion. They take lots of pictures to show Sayaka, then wish each other a happy new year and go to Mizuna Shrine to draw fortunes. Madoka hopes everyone has a lucky year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka find themselves trapped in a strange dream—a life-sized board game set across Kamihama City. They must reach the goal by following the game&#039;s rules. There are no Familiars or attempts to harm them, so Homura suspects it is accidental mischief rather than a trap. They roll dice to move between squares and complete missions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Kimono)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;First Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They arrive at a shopping center. The mission is to deliver lost items from the New Year&#039;s sale to the Information Desk. They meet Aimi, who found a plain notebook with no name. Aimi worries it is someone&#039;s secret fantasy diary and does not want to read it. They take it to the Information Desk and complete the mission. Aimi mentions she is shopping for materials to knit a scarf or gloves for a boy named Hayato.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** They roll again and move to a new square. The mission is to reunite two sisters who failed to meet. They find Tsukasa waiting for her twin Tsukuyo. Tsukuyo forgot her phone and cannot remember the meeting spot. Madoka and Homura offer to find Tsukuyo. They find her, but Tsukasa has wandered off while waiting. The sisters fail to meet, and Homura and Madoka lose three turns. They eventually reach the Mizuna Shrine goal, but the game says they have not met the goal conditions and sends them back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Second Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They are back at the beginning, wearing their kimonos. They see their past selves from the first loop. The same mission appears—reunite the twins. They meet Tsukasa again, who remembers them from before and is confused by their kimono change. Madoka tells Tsukasa where Tsukuyo is, but Tsukasa runs off before Madoka can explain she should wait. They try to find Tsukasa but fail. The mission fails again, and they are sent back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Third Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes: buy a lucky bag costing one million Magica. They search for a store and take a break at a cafe. They see Ria being interviewed and overhear a boy named Hayato saying he needs a warmer scarf. They find Kokoro and Masara, who lead them to a stationery lucky bag. Kokoro mentions Tsukasa is still looking for Tsukuyo. Madoka wants to help Tsukasa, and Homura agrees. They find Tsukuyo, who has been wandering and dropped something important. They learn Tsukuyo dropped her exchange diary with Tsukasa—the same notebook Aimi found. The mission completes, but they are sent back to the start again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes again: help a child who lost something. They find Tsukuyo waiting. She dropped the exchange diary. Homura and Madoka take her to the Information Desk to reclaim it. Madoka remembers Tsukasa was last seen near a specific area. They wait there and finally reunite the twins. They also tell Aimi that Hayato wants a warm scarf. Everyone ends up happy. Homura and Madoka reach the goal without regrets. Homura reflects that she does not want the dream to last longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka learns the meaning of &amp;quot;When winter comes, spring isn&#039;t far behind&amp;quot; at the end of December. Just before New Year&#039;s Eve, Madoka asks if anyone has plans for the holiday. Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko and Nagisa meet the teacher and children at the park. The kids immediately recognize Kyoko, so the pair double down on the movie lie. The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the performance, Kyoko and Sayaka use quick‑change costumes while Nagisa sneaks discarded clothes off set. The children are awed by the glowing weapons and effects, explained with lighting tricks and soap bubbles. After the class leaves, the group reviews the footage and decides to keep a copy. Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko returns the props to Sayuki, then visits an aquarium to pass time. As she leaves, she spots the same kindergarteners, detects a witch, and rushes to fight it. She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She is hunting for discounted Valentine&#039;s chocolate. She visits Sugar Plum but finds the chocolate coins sold out. She runs into Kyoko. They keep encountering each other at multiple stores and realize they are both after the same Valentine&#039;s Day exclusive Pink Tapir chocolate coins. They form an alliance to share information and split the chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe (Valentine)#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Valentine Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Pink Tapir station store, a clerk informs them the sale has moved to a new outlet location and gives them a map. On the way, a delivery truck carrying the chocolate coins is possessed by a Witch&#039;s Kiss and goes on a rampage. Nagisa and Kyoko chase it, jump onto the truck, and enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Nagisa uses her forbidden technique to defeat the Witch. The truck and other vehicles are unharmed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the outlet store and buy the chocolate coins. Nagisa reflects on her memory of eating Pink Tapir chocolate coins for the first time at a hospital charity event when her mother was sick. She wonders if this universe&#039;s Nagisa would have had the same experience. She and Kyoko hurry to Mami&#039;s chocolate party. Kyoko reveals she bought a chocolate cake from Sugar Plum for everyone. Nagisa shares her pink chocolate coins. Mami is happy they are getting along. The next day, the chocolate hunt continues. At the outlet store, Ms. Saotome buys chocolate coins for a hospital charity event, continuing the tradition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Ria, Mayu, and Manaka give the sisters their rented beach space, and the sisters end up spending the day with Team Yachiyo in a water pistol shooting match. They have more fun than they expected, but Tsukuyo suffers a heat stroke and is cared for by the group after Tsukasa panics. When Tsukasa tries to repay the favor, Yachiyo jokes that she should quit the Wings of Magius, then smiles when Tsukasa refuses as expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Their final opponents are Miyako, Kokoro, Masara, and Ren, with Ren proving surprisingly athletic. Miyako’s team wins after Yachiyo avoids stepping on a rare hermit crab, but everyone agrees Tsukasa has repaid her debt, and the sisters admit they had a wonderful time. They end the day drinking juice Yachiyo bought for them and buying matching crescent moon accessories in different colors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

** They browse swimsuits, but Mitama insists on choosing thoughtfully rather than buying on a whim. They separate briefly, and Mitama runs into Mikage, deflecting questions about what she’s doing. Momoko later admits she also had to make excuses after running into Rena and Kaede. Instead of buying swimsuits, Mitama brings Momoko back for an adjustment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the adjustment, they emerge in new swimsuits—Momoko’s tailored perfectly to her tastes, leaving her flustered but secretly pleased. Mitama teases her and admits she’s nervous but excited.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On contest day, Mitama and Momoko play on the beach. They learn the contest requires performing a shared beach memory with chemistry. They plan to tell the story of Mitama’s deserted island ordeal while Momoko adds her side of worrying. While playing, they fight a Witch together—the first time Mitama has teamed up with someone—then run straight into Rena, Kaede, and Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They win by performing the events of the day instead of their planned story. Rena claims the stuffed bunny, and Mikage gets the Candy World tickets, immediately inviting Mitama. Apologies are exchanged, and the others ask for no more secrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, while Mitama and Momoko clean up, Rena and Kaede take Mikage to get drinks. A girl from Mitama’s past confronts her: the one Mitama accidentally shoved down the stairs years ago. A crowd gathers, muttering rumors, but Momoko defends Mitama and the crowd disperses. The girl realizes it was an accident and offers to help clear Mitama’s name, but Mitama declines, saying she no longer needs it because she has someone who believes in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka arrives at a resort with her friends, carrying her mother’s challenge to do something she can only do now. After rescuing an old woman’s hat from the sea, she learns the hat was a gift from the woman’s daughter, Himari.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group spends the day swimming, building a sandcastle, and splitting into smaller activities. While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The girls complete the rally together, with the final photo taken at a sunflower field. That evening, a storm cancels the flower tour, but the photographer invites them to meet the next morning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the photographer leads them to a hidden pond where barringtonia blossoms float. She reveals this was the special place she and Himari had planned to visit. Madoka recognizes Himari’s name and, with her friends’ help, finds the old woman from the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The old woman and the photographer meet; the photographer confesses her guilt over their childhood fight, but the woman explains Himari never mentioned any quarrel—her illness suddenly worsened that day. The two women reconcile, and both thank Madoka for bringing them together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond. Madoka reflects that the thing she could only do here was to reunite the two women and give them peace. Her friends call her for one last swim, and she runs off to join them, already thinking of returning to the island someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story and Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
It has two versions I made, assimilate them if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomuradsSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At registration, Mitama announces all participants must wear swimwear, offering to transform their outfits for free. Homura is surprisingly excited, and Sayaka gets roped into wearing a ridiculous mushroom‑mermaid costume designed by Kanoko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many familiar magical girls attend as participants or catering staff. Hazuki reveals her hatred of worms, Konoha faints from watching bait wriggle, and various mishaps begin piling up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka in her costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The non‑waterproof suit causes Sayaka to be electrocuted by its built‑in fan, but her Doppel activates and saves her. The Doppel drags Yachiyo into the water, and Yachiyo begins water‑skiing using her fishing rod while being pulled around.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura manages to fish up the Doppel and wins the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other&#039;s backs. Homura happily agrees, ending the day on a warm note.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Homura confronts her Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying summer and relying on Madoka’s kindness. The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurads&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura visit a seaside villa on the outskirts of Kamihama. They meet Felicia and her friends briefly. After parting ways, they decide to visit an aquarium. They participate in an accessory-making workshop using star sand. Inside the aquarium, they meet Ashley, an exchange student from the United States, and Riko. Ashley recognizes them as Magical Girls from Mitakihara because she encountered their copies in Endless Mirrors. They chat and learn Ashley is making videos about kawaii things in Japan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Waverider)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After parting ways with Ashley and Riko, Sayaka wants to visit a CD store. She hopes to find rare CDs for Kyosuke. At the store, she reaches for the same CD as a woman. They discover they both use notepads to track CDs. The woman is Takamine&#039;s wife—Takamine was a violinist who passed away. She collects his recordings to show her daughter. They exchange contact information. Sayaka mentions the upcoming flea market.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They eat lunch and shaved ice. Ashley records their conversation. Madoka and Homura leave early for Witch patrol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka&#039;s group meets Takamine&#039;s wife and daughter. A strong wind blows the daughter&#039;s hat into the ocean. Sayaka and Kyoko transform into swimsuits and ride a surfboard to retrieve it, using Nagisa&#039;s floaty as a distraction. The hat is recovered. Takamine&#039;s wife realizes she lost her notepad. Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while waiting, Nagisa and Riko play with water guns. Sayaka&#039;s group relaxes on the beach. Madoka and Homura find Sayaka&#039;s copy in Mirrors. The copy lures them into a trap, but they manage to get the CD list from her and escape. They send it to Sayaka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring. They plan for future fights: Sayaka will handle Familiars, Madoka and Homura will immobilize the Witch, and Mami will finish it off. Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mami will finish it off with her new firework attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The group swims, then Kyoko dominates the buffet. They discover a cliff diving spot, where Sayaka, Mami, and Kyoko take turns jumping while Madoka and Homura watch. They agree to return the day after next, since Madoka is busy the following day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ui improves, but a rip current nearly sweeps her away; Kyoko rescues her. Moved by Ui’s determination, Kyoko keeps training her until sunset, and Ui finally masters swimming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully. Later, Kyoko visits Mitama to revert her outfit, explaining she wants to learn swimming properly rather than relying on magic. She trades a Grief Seed for money to buy ramune as payment for a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Eternal Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;

===Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Momoko Togame (Sanctified)#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi meet again. Mitama shares her realization: her grief has ended. She now wants to make amends and carve a new future for Kamihama. They discuss ideas for the student conference. Kanagi suggests a sports festival. Mitama suggests a festival with food stalls. They joke about romance and love interests. Mitama feels lighter and ready to move forward. She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at the Wings of Magius, Alina asks Nemu to create a rumor for her. She will let it grow, then take it into herself and use it to achieve her greatest goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Touka and Nemu separately sneak to Ui’s room to leave apology notes. They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They first visit Mitama’s shop, where they meet Maria and Konomi. Mikage hands out sweets, crediting Lavi’s teaching, and Mitama permits them to visit the Mikazuki girls after receiving a cake. At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win.

They also realize the key in Maze Town was a &amp;quot;smile&amp;quot;—something Ren had lost along the way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game. Game Tsuruno is surprised, saying the actual people probably do not play the game anymore. They celebrate their success and set their sights on the next town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents. Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia return home and ask to hear the full story, so Yachiyo retrieves the scarf from the time capsule where she had hidden it years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Check on the days again to make sure how many days pass. It&#039;s possible it&#039;s all just one day&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami finds herself in a strange white fog, speaking with two other versions of herself. Holy Mami claims she has learned the truth about magical girls from Alina Gray and Touka Satomi and has found a way to save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami has tea with Touka and Alina at a house rented for her by Touka. Mami explains she has not returned to Mitakihara because her priority is releasing magical girls. Touka and Alina offer to lecture her on what she needs to study. Alina grows disturbingly excited discussing van Gogh&#039;s Sunflowers, and Touka lectures at length on mathematics until Alina interrupts. Mami reassures them she will ask for help when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina receives a call from the Amane sisters requesting help with a Witch. Touka asks Mami to assist, explaining she has a lecture to give at noon to recruit skilled magical girls. Mami agrees, reflecting that releasing magical girls requires Grief Seeds, protecting Rumors, and raising Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane waiting for her. They explain the Witch has moved and the Black Feathers are monitoring it. A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren plan for their friends’ Christmas party a week away and promise to spend Christmas Eve together. While looking at options in a magazine, they cannot decide on a place. Ren buys the magazine to think it over, privately hoping to choose somewhere that will make Rika happy, though she doubts whether she truly belongs beside her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ren visits Emiri’s consultation room but finds only Akira and Ria Ami. She explains her dilemma, and Ria takes her around town to evaluate possible locations. They rule out a restaurant, an amusement park, and a romantic cafe, eventually settling on the Minagi Aquarium. Ria is surprised to learn Ren is planning an outing with Rika, not a boyfriend, but Ren leaves feeling confident in her choice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Christmas Eve, Rika attends a party with her school friends. When she mentions she will spend Christmas Eve at the aquarium with a friend, her friends press to join, but Rika refuses. She advises them not to look for boyfriends just to avoid being alone. Later, while walking with her friends, Rika spots Ren chasing after Aimi Eri. She follows and finds Ren comforting Aimi over a misunderstanding involving a boy; the situation resolves without trouble.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Ren waits for Rika, who messages that she overslept with a fever. Ren worries Rika became sick chasing after her the day before. Before she can reply, Aimi finds her, and they go shopping together. Aimi encourages Ren to visit Rika instead of staying apart. Ren goes to Rika’s house, knocks on her window, and insists they spend Christmas together there so Rika can rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They exchange gifts: Ren gives Rika scented candles, having noticed Rika’s interest from a sticky note, and Rika gives Ren a glass candlestick. Rika hopes they can visit the aquarium another time, and Ren leaves happy to have shared Christmas with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, assimilate them if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumor Tsuruno begins designing the park, adding a merry-go-round, roller coaster, spa, shops, and a cafe. The mascots warn that once the park is complete, she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world. Rumor Tsuruno claims no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she imagines comfort foods with hot pot as the main star, she is reminded of Mikazuki Villa. She brushes it off and completes the park. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Uwasa Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana looks at a Mr. Purrs-a-lot picture book and feels down. Ui notices and asks what is wrong. Sana admits she wants to become a picture book author to help people who are suffering like she once was. She has many ideas but does not know how to write them. Ui encourages her. Sana says she is starting from zero and needs to practice writing. Ui suggests she settle on one main idea. Sana recalls a story about the Rice God from Yachiyo and decides to write a practice story about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana writes a story about the Rice God punishing Felicia for not finishing her rice. Ui enjoys it. Sana realizes she also needs to entertain readers while conveying her message. She decides her first picture book theme will be &amp;quot;friends.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana and Ui discuss the main character. Sana models her after Ai, the Uwasa of the Anonymous A.I. She names the heroine Aoi. Sana writes the first part of the story: Aoi leaves the &amp;quot;Land of Beginnings&amp;quot; and arrives at the &amp;quot;Land of Blessings,&amp;quot; where residents constantly fight. Aoi suggests a picnic to help them understand each other. The residents grow closer. Ui enjoys the story. Sana reveals she wants to leave behind proof of Ai&#039;s existence before she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana asks Nemu for permission to use a character modelled after Ai in her picture book. Nemu agrees, saying she is happy Sana wishes to preserve Ai. Nemu advises Sana on how to become a published author: enter contests or approach publishers directly. Sana becomes discouraged when she realizes she would have to interact with people who cannot see her. She leaves feeling hopeless.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana wanders alone, feeling invisible. She helps a girl find a lost ring but is not noticed. She thinks her dream is impossible. Tsuruno, Felicia, and Ui find her, worried because she was not answering calls. Iroha and Yachiyo also arrive. Nemu calls and suggests Sana could use an agent to communicate with publishers, avoiding direct meetings. Sana regains her resolve. Yachiyo tells her not to give up on her dream. Iroha and the others promise to support her. Sana realizes she has a family to help her get back up.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana finishes her first picture book, &amp;quot;A Small Encounter.&amp;quot; The story follows Shana, an invisible girl who is found by Aoi and makes her first friend. Sana decides to show it to everyone and get their thoughts. She promises to keep persevering for Ai&#039;s sake and for everyone who supports her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 1 (Flashback/Reflection)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi wakes from a nap and remembers the dream she had when fused with the Kimochi. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words that helped her realize she had not truly given up.

** Lavi reflects on the hope she once held—a daydream of a peaceful life where magical girls are understood. In that dream, she helped her mother, tended fields with her grandfather, watched Urara&#039;s street performances, and attended exhibitions with Shirogane. She encountered other magical girls: Asahi, Haitani, Kuroda, Urara, and Alexandra. They fought witches together and enjoyed everyday moments.

Due to a scheduling mistake, everyone arrives at the same inn on the same day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Everyone shares the meal and enjoys the evening together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She announces they will compete over the meat and create a new future with all of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane complain about being overworked as guardians of a Rumor and fear the anger of Touka, Alina, and Nemu. They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

** Over time, Mitama receives many gifts from Magical Girls, including Kokoro, Reira, Mito, Felicia, Ayame, Kako, Yachiyo, Karin, Himika, Rika and Emiri, the last of whom says that when people share their favorite things, it means they want to share what they love with Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;

** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;

===Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin|Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One winter’s day before Christmas, Rika and Ren go shopping together. The town has no Christmas decorations and people seem depressed. They hear a distressed voice and find Mitama, wearing a Santa&#039;s beard and hat, and she introduces herself as a Christmas Spirit. Mitama says her job is to make everyone happy, but the task is too big. She gives Rika and Ren some of her magic, explaining that the magic requires them to be perfectly attuned to each other, and then she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, a swallow Familiar appears, claiming to be Mitama’s pupil and Rika names him Chirpie. Chirpie explains that Mitama saved him when he fell from his nest and gave him magic. He can sense cowardly hearts lacking courage and Rika and Ren must drive out ten cowardly hearts to make the town happy. Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chirpie leads them to Felicia and Sana, who had accidentally smashed a cake and are now arguing about who should apologize to Yachiyo. Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines|Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 13th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mitama is away from her shop, but Tsuruno is there, using the kitchen to make chocolate bonbons with a friend. She plans to surprise everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 14th:&#039;&#039;&#039; On Valentine&#039;s Day, Tsuruno gives beautifully wrapped chocolates to Iroha, Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana and Ui at Mikazuki Villa. Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rise of the Waning Moon===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Rise of the Waning Moon|Rise of the Waning Moon]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day during lunch break, Kanagi goes to Himika’s classroom, telling her she just wanted to see her face, which Himika finds strange.&lt;br /&gt;
** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===Finding Our Formula===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Finding Our Formula|Finding Our Formula]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Hinano and Emiri attend a chemistry event. Hinano is excited to see a chemist who reminds her of the woman she idolized as a child—a tall, long-legged lady who taught fun chemistry experiments. Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic|Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls finish dinner. Tsuruno and Felicia complain about going to the same public pool every summer. Yachiyo receives a phone call from a distant relative who runs a hotel. The relative needs help cleaning the hotel pool because the usual staff are sick. Yachiyo hesitates due to her modeling schedule. The girls offer to help. Yachiyo calls back and confirms they will come.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group arrives at the hotel and Yachiyo&#039;s relative, an older woman, greets them warmly. She says she used to hang out with Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river. Tsuruno and Felicia compete to see who can clean faster, inventing names for their techniques. Yachiyo scolds them for being inefficient. They eventually work together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha slips and falls but is not hurt. Felicia sprays Yachiyo with the hose and Yachiyo chases her. After a few hours, they finish cleaning. The relative rewards them with fluffy shaved ice.&lt;br /&gt;
** The pool is now clean and filled with water. The girls swim and play. Tsuruno and Felicia bring water guns and spray Yachiyo. Yachiyo chases them and gets out of the pool to walk upstream, eventually catching them. They all have fun.&lt;br /&gt;
** As they leave, the relative thanks them but reveals the pool may not open after all due to unforeseen issues. Everyone is shocked.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic|Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic]]&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls are about to leave when the relative reveals the pool may not open because support staff from the southern islands are delayed by a typhoon. Tsuruno volunteers the group to help until the staff arrives. Yachiyo worries they might cause trouble, but Iroha, Ui, and Sana want to try. They agree to help. Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the next day, the group arrives at the pool for opening day. Yachiyo handles reception. The ticket scanner malfunctions and a line forms. Mitama appears—she had plans with Iroha that were canceled. She offers to help and fixes the scanner by hitting it. The staff member returns and takes over.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama notices Yachiyo has something on her mind and suggests she talk to someone she trusts. Iroha later asks Yachiyo to help with a crowded lunch area. Ui is taking orders with Sana&#039;s invisible help making drinks.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral. Yachiyo admits she was worried about everyone but sees they are doing fine. Iroha tells Yachiyo it is okay to worry because she cares, and they can solve problems together. Iroha notices Yachiyo has been down and offers to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
** A foam machine malfunctions, spewing foam everywhere. A guest slips and falls. The group splits up to clean the foam and help guests. Mitama fixes the machine with a whack. The support staff arrives. The girls finally have time to enjoy the pool.&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models. She does not know what to post and is shy about taking selfies. Iroha suggests posting photos of herself and takes pictures of Yachiyo on a float with the sunset. Yachiyo is embarrassed but agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Tsuruno want a turn on the float. Everyone climbs on, and Mitama takes a group photo just as they all fall into the water. Iroha loves the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the pool photos are popular online. Yachiyo&#039;s manager says going to the pool was a good move. Yachiyo thanks Iroha and says she might take her up on being her photographer again. She sends the group photo to everyone. Iroha says the photo may not be &amp;quot;social media-worthy&amp;quot; but it captures who they are. They agree to go back to the pool again—summer is just getting started.&lt;br /&gt;

Tsukuyo researches the costs of a two-person household and is shocked by how expensive it is.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo falls asleep while daydreaming about living with Tsukasa. Her grandmother finds her fantasy budget notebook and accuses her of planning to run away with a boy. Her training hours are increased, and her smartphone is confiscated. Tsukuyo is unable to contact Tsukasa. She runs away and ends up at the shrine, but Tsukasa is at school.&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback (Before Magical Girl). Tsukuyo is overworked with club activities and training. She is exhausted and collapses. She wakes up in the hospital with her sister beside her. Tsukuyo remembers how she first met Tsukasa. She was playing her flute at the shrine when she saw a girl who looked just like her. They discovered they were twins, separated at birth. They became close and talked openly with each other for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo too formal and uptight, while Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukuyo was devastated. She received a harsh message from her grandmother, punishing her for being absent without permission. She broke down crying, saying she was not a puppet for her grandmother to order around.&lt;br /&gt;
*On another day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa both collapse and wake up in the hospital. The pediatrician confirms they are twins. They reconcile and make a wish to Kyubey to never again hate each other.

* Several days later, Tsukasa tells Tsukuyo she does not know the details of how the Magius intend to save them. She shares the full ending of the story they studied—the couple takes their own lives because they fear their love will fade. Tsukasa suggests they do the same. Tsukuyo is horrified but realizes they have no other way out.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night they decide to die, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa meet at the shrine. They decide to destroy their Soul Gems together. They hold hands and count to three. Mifuyu arrives in time to stop them. She begs them to live and fight for their freedom together. She says the Wings of the Magius may be small, but they will grow. Tsukasa and Tsukuyo agree to join the Wings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Return to the present) Tsukuyo reflects on how much has happened. She knows she must always be there to support Tsukasa, who can be unpredictable. She dreams of their future together—a happy ending where they live together, free from family, regional disputes, and Magical Girls. She knows it may be a long way off, but as long as she has Tsukasa, she believes they will get their happy ending.&lt;br /&gt;

Tsukasa refuses and runs away. She ends up at the shrine, but Tsukuyo is at school. She remembers how she first met Tsukuyo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before Magical Girl). Tsukasa is overworked with school, chores, and finances for the workshop. She is exhausted and collapses. She wakes up in the hospital with her sister beside her. Tsukasa remembers how she first met Tsukuyo. She was playing her flute at the shrine when a stranger warned her about Witches. She then saw a girl who looked just like her. They discovered they were twins, separated at birth. They became close and talked about their struggles.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo stuck-up and obsessed with appearances. Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized and loud. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukasa&#039;s resentment toward her family grew. She fell into a Witch&#039;s snare but was saved by the stranger from before.&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo both collapse and wake up in the hospital. The pediatrician confirms they are twins. They reconcile and make a wish to Kyubey to never again hate each other.

Mifuyu arrives in time to stop them. She begs them to live and fight for their freedom together. Tsukasa and Tsukuyo agree to join the Wings of the Magius.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa returns home. Her father apologizes for being too harsh. Her marriage interview is postponed until after graduation, and life returns to normal. Tsukasa dreams of her future with Tsukuyo—a happy ending where they can laugh together, free from family, the east-west conflict, and Magical Girls. She knows it is still a long way off, but as long as she has Tsukuyo, she will be okay.&lt;br /&gt;

* Nanaka Tokiwa reflects on her life. Pride and traditions long preserved by the Tokiwa family, head of the Kashin school, were lost. Exacting revenge to reclaim it was how it all began, but she could not have foreseen the true enemy lurking in the shadows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka faces a formidable Boss Witch with her team. They withdraw due to exhaustion. Later, at Blossom, Kako worries about the Witch hurting someone. Nanaka says they need a new strategy. She buys flowers for a floral arrangement. She receives a message from Meiyui about new Magical Girls causing trouble in Sankyo Ward.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Nanaka meets with Konoha&#039;s team to discuss territorial disputes. Hazuki wants to maintain an agreement that all participants share Grief Seeds equally. Nanaka agrees but only to avoid unnecessary conflict. She sees Hazuki&#039;s personal motives and decides to do her a favor. After the meeting, Nanaka explains to her team that she wanted to observe everyone&#039;s opinions for future use. She reflects on her past—her father fell ill, his pupils took over the school, and the Tokiwa family was left in the dust. On his deathbed, her father asked her to reclaim the school. She wished for the power to evaluate who her enemies truly are. She discovered the true enemy was a Witch she named Locust. She formed a team to seek revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day after the negotiation, Nanaka arranges flowers while thinking about the two main issues: the Boss Witch and the territorial disputes. Meiyui sends her news that a plan has come together. Later, Ayame is caught crossing into Chuo Ward. Nanaka scolds her and takes the Grief Seed to return it to Chuo Ward. She meets with Hinano, asks her to keep the incident quiet, and Hinano agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Nanaka tells Hazuki&#039;s team that the matter is settled. Hazuki&#039;s team apologizes. Nanaka suggests continuing discussions with all Sankyo Ward Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka holds a meeting. Some members want to abolish the agreement because it hinders teamwork. Nanaka agrees to first-come, first-served, adding that the first team to discover a Witch has both the right and duty to defeat it. Her team questions her decision, but she says they will see soon enough.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hazuki&#039;s team confronts Nanaka. They were forced to defeat the Boss Witch because of the &amp;quot;duty&amp;quot; clause. Hazuki says Nanaka played them. Nanaka admits she knew they could do it. Hazuki says they have scores to settle. Hazuki also mentions the Witch was strange, like it was being manipulated. Nanaka realizes the Locust is not just one Witch—the true enemy is its puppet master.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several months later (present day) Nanaka reflects that her Locust revenge story is over. The puppet master can no longer do harm. But something else is starting to creep from the shadows of Kamihama City. She will have to find out what comes next.&lt;br /&gt;

===Kako Natsume&#039;s Heartphial Story: N&#039;s Confession===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kako Natsume reflects on her life. She lost Natsume Books and her peaceful days once. But she is no longer the fearful girl she used to be. She is a girl who can choose to protect what is dear to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kako is 13 years old. Her parents run Natsume Books, a used bookstore. Books are a huge part of her life. One day, she sees Nanaka loitering by the mailbox, looking distressed. Nanaka drops a letter in the mailbox and runs off. She tells Kako to read the letter. Kako remembers the words &amp;quot;Kill her&amp;quot; and wonders why.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako recalls her past. Her family was not wealthy, but they were happy. Her father recommended books, and her mother helped her study. Then tragedy struck. A riot over land grabs broke out. Harassment of those who objected got worse. Discord grew within the community and even within their home. Her father was wound tight. Then their house was set on fire. Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
** She met a girl named &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; N told Kako who was responsible and what she needed to do to destroy them. Kako clung to her. She later learned N was manipulative and saw others as pawns. Kako hates N and wants revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found herself in a Labyrinth. Nanaka fought off Familiars but was overwhelmed. Kyubey offered Kako the chance to become a Magical Girl. Nanaka told Kako through telepathy to decide for herself what she wanted. Kako realized she hated feeling helpless. She wished to see her family smiling again and to get Natsume Books back. She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kako learned Nanaka faked her struggle to entrap her into making the wish. Nanaka had pulled this trick on others to use them as pawns. Kako could not forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako and Nanaka fought Witches together. Nanaka encouraged Kako and told her she was better suited to being a Magical Girl than Nanaka was. Kako wanted to get stronger. Nanaka wrote a letter confessing her deception and asking Kako to kill her. Kako made up her mind to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka. She returned it unopened, saying it seemed wrong to read something Nanaka only sent by accident. Nanaka smiled and said Kako was dazzling. She said she would try to tell Kako her feelings in person someday.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako thinks Nanaka overestimates her, but she is no longer as scared and helpless as she used to be. She is a Magical Girl who protects the city by Nanaka&#039;s side.&lt;br /&gt;

* A few days later, Rena calls Himika. She saw the Baby Bunny pouch in a crane game at an arcade. Himika, Kako, Ayame, Rena, and Kaede go to the arcade. The pouch is in the replenishment case, meaning Himika must win all the Mocha Bunnies already out to reach it. Himika decides to use a strategy but is short on money.&lt;br /&gt;

Hazuki delivers the worksheets. Nanaka suggests they should share information without secrets. Hazuki agrees to try building trust, but she remains wary.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki arrives at the school camp. She is assigned to orienteering setup with Nanaka. They are paired together by random draw. They work through checkpoints. The map notes are outdated, and they get lost. It starts raining heavily.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the storm, the rope bridge collapses due to the rain. Hazuki and Nanaka cannot cross the river. They find an old shack for shelter. They huddle together for warmth. Hazuki shares her past: her parents died in an accident when she was young. She was shuffled between relatives until she ended up at Azalea House. She learned to hide her fear behind a smile. The director taught her to smile when her heart truly felt it. She met Konoha and Ayame there. They became family. They made wishes to protect Azalea House and left to live together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka listens quietly. She says she finally understands Hazuki&#039;s true self. Nanaka grows pale and cold. Hazuki worries she might collapse. Hazuki insists they huddle closer. Nanaka admits she is cold. They wait together.&lt;br /&gt;
** The rain stops. Akira and others find them at the shack. They are taken back to camp. The nurse checks them. Hazuki and Nanaka are cleared to stay. Nanaka is grateful for Hazuki&#039;s help. Hazuki teases Nanaka about being excited for pillow fights. Nanaka jokes back. They agree to enjoy the rest of camp together. Hazuki realizes she has seen a different side of Nanaka.&lt;br /&gt;

===Ayame Mikuri&#039;s Heartphial Story: Runaway Adventure===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame Mikuri reflects on her life. Azalea House was a place that showed her real love. When she knew nothing about family, that place taught her warmth. She was not going to turn her back on it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame writes a letter to the Director, the late head of Azalea House. She explains that she, Konoha, and Hazuki are Magical Girls now. Konoha warns Ayame to stay away from Nanaka&#039;s team after a recent incident. Ayame agrees but secretly plans to meet up with Kako anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayame and Kako meet in secret. They are friends but cannot openly hang out because their teams do not get along. Ayame complains about the situation. Kako shows her a book about ocean adventures. Ayame becomes curious about whether the ocean boils when the sun sets. They decide to go to the beach together to find out.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame and Kako take a train and a bus toward the beach. Ayame is excited. Konoha calls and texts repeatedly, but Ayame ignores her. They get off the bus when it breaks down and take a detour. They discover a field of sunflowers. They share cup noodles together. Ayame turns off her phone. Kako also ignores Nanaka&#039;s messages to focus on their adventure. They finally reach the beach and watch the sunset together. Ayame still cannot tell if the ocean boils, but she is happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback - Azalea House) Ayame dreams of the Director. She remembers the day Azalea House was going to be torn down. The Director had already passed away. Konoha, Hazuki, and Ayame met Kyubey and decided to become Magical Girls. Ayame wished for Azalea House to stay open forever. Konoha wished to eliminate all threats to it. They decided on a third wish: to have everyone at Azalea House forget they were ever there. They left the orphanage and started living together. Ayame remembers Konoha&#039;s promise that they would always be together. She reflects on her conflict with Konoha over her friendship with Kako. She wishes the Director could tell her what to do.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame wakes up at Kako&#039;s relatives&#039; house. Konoha has arrived. She found Ayame by asking Nanaka to track Kako&#039;s location. Ayame refuses to go home, saying Konoha has been stifling her. She promises to tell Konoha where she is next time. Konoha apologizes. She did not realize how her words were making Ayame feel. She promises to talk things through with Hazuki and Ayame. Kako is relieved. Ayame treasures the memory of her adventure. She promises never to forget it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Masara Kagami&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Flame Kindled in the Vastness===&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara Kagami reflects on her life. After becoming a Magical Girl, not much felt dramatically different. But encounters and experiences since have changed her. She thinks her dull and pointless life has just gotten a little more colorful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara finds the world boring. She is good at swimming but lacks passion. Kyubey appears and offers her any wish. She wishes for a load of money and becomes a Magical Girl. She fights Witches, and the excitement fades quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara meets Kokoro Awane in a Labyrinth. Kokoro is uncomfortable with Masara&#039;s reckless fighting and tells her to protect herself more. Masara says she does not care if she dies. Kokoro says her family would care. Masara questions why Kokoro blames herself for her family&#039;s problems. Kokoro asks if they can stick together. Masara agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a Witch hunt, they&#039;re attacked by a Witch and Masara takes a hit to protect Kokoro. She gets a scar. She starts avoiding Kokoro because she does not understand her feelings. Mitama explains that Masara fears seeing Kokoro get hurt, so she avoids her to prevent that pain. Masara realizes she fears losing Kokoro, so they reconcile.&lt;br /&gt;
* The swim club announces the relay team. Masara is chosen but declines, saying she is not good at team sports. Koshino, who has always been second to Masara, is chosen as her replacement. Koshino vows to beat Masara&#039;s record.&lt;br /&gt;
* While Kokoro and Masara go on patrol, they see Koshino training alone after school hours. Koshino tells Masara she beat her personal record. Masara is puzzled by Koshino&#039;s passion.&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Masara passes Koshino training again. They start talking about her times regularly. Kokoro notes that Koshino will never catch up to Masara&#039;s times. Masara wonders what drives Koshino.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days before the competition, Koshino beats Masara&#039;s record once. The swim club captain praises her. Masara feels something but cannot identify it. She is not annoyed. She does not know what she feels.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day before the competition, Koshino has an accident and cannot compete. Masara agrees to take her place. She is surprised by her own motivation. Kokoro notices the change.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the competition, Masara swims well. Her team finishes second, but she was in the lead when passing the baton. Koshino comes to watch and thanks Masara for doing the race for her. Kokoro says Masara has changed. Masara decides she wants to keep swimming a while longer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika Ayano&#039;s Heartphial Story: Haunting Love, Haunting Mistake===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika Ayano reflects on her life. She does not want to feel like she became a Magical Girl for nothing. She got to see what dating is like and made loads of friends. But sins do not wash away so easily. That is the price you pay for a miracle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback, but the entirety seems like mostly a flashback) Kyubey offers Rika any wish in exchange for becoming a Magical Girl. Hinano warns her not to do it, but Rika ignores the advice. She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Riko Chiaki&#039;s Heartphial Story: Worked Out with a Woof===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki reflects on her life. Even though her mom and dad were hardly home because of work, she never felt lonely as long as Miss K was around. She cared about her so much that she just wanted to help her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback) Riko helps out at her parents&#039; bento store. She is close with Miss K, the daughter of the hardware store owner next door. Miss K has always been like a big sister to her. Miss K cries to Riko that her father opposes her marriage because he does not want her to move far away. Riko wishes to Kyubey for Miss K&#039;s marriage to be accepted. She becomes a Magical Girl. Miss K gets married and moves away. Riko misses her but does not regret her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Riko goes filming with Ashley. She tells Ashley about Miss K. She explains that Miss K&#039;s father never fully accepted the marriage, and they have not made up. Riko receives a message from Miss K saying she was in the hospital because she was pregnant. She invites Riko to visit her new house. Riko goes and meets the baby. Miss K asks Riko to be friends with her child. Riko becomes like a big sister to the baby. She feels happy that her wish came true but is sad Miss K and her father never reconciled.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko walks Mameji and sees Miss K&#039;s father standing outside the hardware store, looking sad. She wonders what is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley advises Riko to ask Miss K directly if she wants to make up with her father. Riko texts Miss K and asks to meet. Miss K replies that she will come to Riko&#039;s town instead. Riko is excited.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Miss K visits Riko. They talk about her father. Miss K says she wants to make up with him but does not know how. Riko suggests inviting him to meet the baby, giving him a present, or going on a family trip. Miss K doubts any of it will work. They walk to Riko&#039;s store together. They encounter Miss K&#039;s father outside. Riko admits she asked Miss K to come so they could patch things up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Miss K&#039;s father reveals he brought a herbarium to Riko&#039;s store. It was originally meant as a gift for his grandchild, but he could not bring himself to deliver it. Riko realizes Mameji had been guiding her this whole time. Earlier, Mameji had barked at the cake that turned out to be from Miss K&#039;s father. Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky. She realizes she is dying, having protected Yachiyo. She remembers how everyone was fighting for dear life. She wished she were stronger to help them. She is sorry for not being stronger. She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley vlogs with Riko&#039;s help. She films herself shopping for Magical Kirin merch and gurokawa items. After editing and uploading the video, she replies to comments from her followers. She thinks about her father and hopes he is watching.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley remembers the day she wanted to study abroad in Japan. Her father refused without giving a clear reason, which was unusual. Kyubey appeared and offered to grant any wish. Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko notices Ashley seems down. She worries Ashley is overworking herself by vlogging daily and replying to comments late at night. Ashley says it does not feel like work because she loves it. She thanks Riko for being a kind friend. They go out to film another vlog.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley continues vlogging daily. She worries about skipping a day because her followers might unfollow her. She wakes up to find Kumanosuke missing. She panics, feeling like her world is ending. Riko arrives with a bento and finds Ashley crying. Ashley explains she lost Kumanosuke. Riko comforts her and says it is okay to skip a vlog.

They decide to search for Kumanosuke.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko suggests Ashley ask her followers for help finding Kumanosuke. During a live stream, a commenter suggests rewatching her previous vlog. Ashley realizes she left Kumanosuke on a chair when she got distracted by a crane machine. They find Kumanosuke on a shelf at the store, dressed in Waloli Gurokawa clothes. Ashley gets him back. She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call|Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wait, You Got It Wrong!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayu Kozue&#039;s most treasured possession is a bear pendant her father carved for her before he died. When a hand-drawn postcard is stolen from the museum where she works, security footage shows her friend Ria at the scene moments later. Mayu cannot reach Ria and suspects a Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~|Wait, You Got It Wrong! / Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While searching for Ria, Mayu encounters Asuka Tatsuki, whose family&#039;s invaluable book of secrets was also stolen. A witness described a blonde girl in a Mizuna uniform—Ria. They find Sayuki Fumino crying over her stolen sword book, then Rena Minami who was bumped by the same girl. At Walnut&#039;s restaurant, Manaka Kurumi accuses Ria of stealing a rice omelet. A Witch barrier appears, and after Mayu and Asuka defeat the Familiars, Ria arrives demanding to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka challenges Ria to a duel over the thefts, and Ria loses. She confesses to something embarrassing, and everyone assumes she means the thefts—but she meant a binder of idol clippings she desperately hopes no one saw. She was only chasing the Witch to recover her own stolen belongings. Relieved, Mayu and Asuka join her. They track and defeat the Witch, recovering most items, but the museum postcard, the dojo book, and Ria&#039;s binder remain missing. They agree to search again tomorrow. That night, Mayu dreams of her father, who tells her material things are destined to break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, thefts continue across the city. Mayu realizes the Witch they defeated was only a Familiar and the real Witch is still out there. She offers her precious pendant as bait to track it. Despite Ria&#039;s protests, Mayu uses it, and they follow the magic trail to the Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After a difficult battle, they recover all stolen items, though Mayu&#039;s pendant is scratched and its chain broken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu is unbothered. She explains that material possessions naturally break, but the memories they hold remain in her heart—a lesson from her father. Asuka and Ria are moved, and Mayu turns to walk home, promptly falls into a lake, and flounders while Ria sighs that she has not changed at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor she calls Miss K. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Miss K with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Miss K&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Miss K to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

===&amp;quot;Let&#039;s hit the Suitoku baths! (Music Collection 1 bonus drama)&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo, Iroha, and Sana prepare a meal. Felicia reluctantly helps. Tsuruno arrives with a flyer for Suitokuyu, a public bathhouse holding an event as part of a shopping district revitalization plan. She invites everyone to go together. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the bathhouse, they read the posted rules. Tsuruno pretends to be a &amp;quot;bathhouse master&amp;quot; and teaches them. Sana becomes embarrassed about being naked in front of everyone. Yachiyo understands her feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Villa. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;
~A Little Break For Us~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===This is The Warmest Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha is going about her day when Sana, Felicia, and Ui present her with a pinwheel and ask her to blow on it. Though confused by their strange behavior, Iroha does as they ask and the girls thank her before quickly scampering off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~#This Is The Warmest Day Login Special|This is The Warmest Day]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts. When Yachiyo asks Iroha&#039;s opinion, Iroha expresses her love for shortcake and suggests they bake one immediately, but Yachiyo insists she wait for the right moment, which will come sooner than she thinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Lavi is shopping when Nayuta finds her to share news about her math test score. They return home where Lavi prepares dinner, and Nayuta discovers Lavi earned perfect scores in every subject, highlighting the gap between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House|The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day while Lavi runs errands, Nayuta confides in Mikage about her fears that Lavi only respects her father and secretly resents serving her. Seeking answers, Nayuta visits Mitama, who suggests that kindness and broad-mindedness are the traits she needs to develop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Nayuta observes how hard Lavi works attending school, studying, handling housework, and fighting witches. Worried she might collapse, Nayuta offers Lavi time off for her upcoming sixteenth birthday and secretly plans a surprise party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later on Lavi&#039;s birthday, Nayuta and Mikage struggle through cleaning the house and preparing a celebration. Their efforts are interrupted when Lavi returns early for lunch, scolds them for the mess, but leaves again at Nayuta&#039;s insistence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Lavi returns that evening, the handmade kusudama falls onto the cake and catches fire. Lavi extinguishes it with water, and Nayuta is left mortified as her surprise party fails spectacularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Nayuta senses lingering coldness from Lavi and struggles to find the right way to apologize. Remembering her father&#039;s example, she decides to catch and cook a fish as an apology gift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day at a fishing center, Nayuta encounters girls from the Tokime clan who teach her how to gut fish. Despite being disturbed by the process, she perseveres and eventually catches the exact fish she wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning home late, Nayuta discovers a threatening letter addressed to Lavi and deduces it must be connected to the serious trouble from Lavi&#039;s hometown. She rushes to the market street with Mikage to protect her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the market street, Nayuta confronts the man speaking with Lavi, declaring herself as Satomi Tasuke&#039;s daughter to intimidate him. The man reveals he is simply a stalker with no connection to Lavi&#039;s past, and when he becomes agitated, Nayuta tackles him unconscious as a crowd applauds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Nayuta presents the cooked fish and apologizes. Lavi admits she was barely angry anymore and thanks Nayuta for protecting her, acknowledging she was just like her father in that moment. Nayuta produces a second kusudama and cake, and this time the celebration succeeds. As they pick confetti from the cake, Lavi quietly says she will continue to admire Nayuta until the final day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Art 02 01 0003 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune. The Rumor says that if you receive the book and find a drawing of yourself, the sketched event will happen and if you try to stop it, a creature named Ketch drags you into the book. Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One summer morning, Mitama is at her shop and she has set up a small café corner called Hot☆Corner. The cat, Doyle, is especially attached to her lately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery|The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day|Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Rumored Temp Counselor===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

===Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away|Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

* The following day, Ryoko investigates and discovers Sakuya hid her own shoes and started the gossip to isolate herself. Sakuya confesses she killed her best friend in the war and must remain alone to avoid hurting anyone else. Ryoko declares she will save Sakuya by becoming her best friend, and they fight until exhausted. That night, Sakuya dreams of her deceased friend, who thanks her and tells her to move forward. She wakes to find Ryoko collapsed from hunger, and they talk for hours like ordinary friends. Though they agree they cannot meet again until the battles are over, they promise to become true friends then.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls in Kush, who transforms into a vampire and she wins the contest. Natsuki takes second place and Karin takes third place. A commemorative photo is taken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin completes her manga, &amp;quot;The Pumpkin King and the Ghost Servant.&amp;quot; She shows it to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede who praise it, giving it 100 points or more. Kaede appreciates the happy ending. Karin is moved by Kaede&#039;s approval. Manaka arrives with pumpkin pie for a taste test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses.

===Kamihama Chocolate Girls===&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka, Sunao, and Chiharu look through a Valentine&#039;s Day feature in Kamihama&#039;s free newspaper. Shizuka is embarrassed to see her photo distributed around town, but Chiharu reassures her the photo is cute and the experience gave them a happy memory. They spot a feature on the chocolate shop Shizuka visited and decide to bring all the Tokime girls next time. The newspaper also includes messages from other magical girls offering homemade chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Bittersweet AI Memory#Kamihama Chocolate Girls|Kamihama Chocolate Girls]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage is delighted to see her photo in the newspaper and finds it funny that the article claims she made chocolate with her sister. Mitama suggests it was artistic license. Mikage wonders if she might become famous but worries about sketchy people, and Mitama jokingly offers to beat them up. Mikage asks if they can make real chocolate together, but Mitama needs to go to her coordinator shop. Mikage promises to do things that make her sister smile instead, and Mitama suggests they make Valentine&#039;s chocolate together next year. Mikage eagerly agrees to practice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choc&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Promised Blood&#039;s base, Yuna notices her teammates have been acting strangely, as Sakuya reads romance columns, Juri studies constantly, and Urara stares at Hikaru without speaking. After the meeting, Yuna confides in Hikaru that she feels guilty for not noticing everyone&#039;s exhaustion and decides to solve each person&#039;s problems personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend. Though relieved it&#039;s not her own love life, Yuna insists on helping anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s place, the group brainstorms confession advice. The conversation shifts when Ao receives a text from her parents—she&#039;s been lying to them about her late nights as a magical girl, claiming she&#039;s in an e-sports tournament. To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the online tournament, chaos ensues as Juri attacks teammates, Hikaru sets the kitchen on fire, and Yuna fails at selling merchandise. Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the student council meeting, Yuna honestly requests more time to handle personal matters, promising to dedicate herself fully afterward. The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka-senpai&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Day in the Life of Madoka-senpai===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

==Magia Record Events==&lt;br /&gt;
===See You Tomorrow===&lt;br /&gt;
* One morning at the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira greets an older neighbor who warns her about increasing danger in the area. Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them. The girl agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, finishing the final preparations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day of the school festival proceeds without major incident. Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, sampling food and enjoying the event. They take a photo together at the repaired arch—Tsumugi, Manaka, and the transfer student in her uniform. The transfer student reflects later that she will cherish the photo forever, grateful for the kindness she did not feel she deserved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Autumn of Reading===&lt;br /&gt;
This seems to have been an event without story. Needs to be re-checked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Girls in the Hood===&lt;br /&gt;
* An earthquake strikes the city, and on a rooftop, Jun Kazari drops both her yo-yo and her soul gem while practicing tricks. She chases after the soul gem, while the yo-yo falls into the hood of Mitsune Miwa, a hikikomori watching a performance below. Mitsune decides to return it and runs up the stairs, where she collides with Jun. Jun explains she needs her soul gem, and Mitsune returns the yo-yo. A Witch&#039;s barrier appears around them, and Jun transforms to fight while telling Mitsune to close her eyes. Mitsune peeks, collapses after seeing the Witch die, and Jun carries her outside, claiming it was all a dream. Jun insists on treating Mitsune since she saved her yo-yo, and takes her to a candy store called Tomorrow Shop. Jun introduces her to the children there, and Mitsune is amazed by how loved Jun is. Mitsune must leave by 6 PM, and Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Girls in the Hood|Girls in the Hood]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitsune returns to the shop and sees Kanae Yukino talking with Jun. Mitsune detours down an alley and is caught in a Witch&#039;s barrier. Kanae enters first, and Jun follows to save Mitsune. They defeat the Witch together, and Mitsune wakes in a park. Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop&amp;quot; again, and Mitsune smiles and agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Jun talks to Kyubey about having no friends her own age, while Mitsune researches online and finds rumors about magical girls and the Tomorrow Shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Jun and the shop owner discover that Mitsune is their neighbor. Mitsune asks Jun about what she saw, but Jun says she forgot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitsune later sees Kanae talking to Kyubey and follows her, but is pulled into a Familiar&#039;s labyrinth. Jun saves her, and Mitsune directly asks if Jun is a magical girl. Jun begins explaining Witches, Familiars, and magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mitsune admits she still cannot go to school or make friends. Jun says she also struggles with friends. Mitsune wonders if she should become a magical girl, but Jun yells at her not to. Mitsune leaves upset. Kanae warns Jun that Mitsune has the qualities to become a magical girl, and Jun reveals she is moving away from Kamihama. She used her wish to save the shop, but now realizes other things are more important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Jun tells Mitsune she is moving next week and that magical girls do not have the kind of magic Mitsune dreams of. Mitsune must make her own dreams come true. Jun promises to prove she does not need magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Jun finds that the children and Mitsune went to explore Shinsei Ward without her. She finds them at an abandoned construction site where Mitsune encountered a Witch. Mitsune sent the children away but stayed behind. Jun arrives and uses a homemade bomb to damage the Witch before they escape.

[[Magia Record Event - The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf|The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo bumps into Tsuruno on a day when school is out. Yachiyo has a job performing in a recorded drama with Sayuki that will be screened on Tanabata. Tsuruno recalls Yachiyo&#039;s poor performance in Karin&#039;s Halloween play and decides to join her to help. Yachiyo welcomes her.&lt;br /&gt;
** On set, Ria and Mayu are assisting with makeup and costumes. Yachiyo recognizes Ria, calls her by name, and praises her work, causing Ria to internally fangirl. Yachiyo grows anxious seeing so many Magical Girls gathered, recalling how a previous production with magical girls turned into a disaster. Tsuruno reassures her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wins over the production team with her exuberance. The play&#039;s co-star drops out, and the director asks Tsuruno to take the role. She eagerly accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a fairy tale about an ancient Mizuna legend. Two girls, Tsuyu and Chizuru, befriend each other despite their families&#039; rivalry and join forces to punish a selfish lord. Yachiyo plays Tsuyu, the ice queen with a heart of gold. Tsuruno plays Chizuru, the cheerful and impetuous girl. Sayuki plays the Magpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** During the script reading, everyone realizes Yachiyo&#039;s acting skills are still terrible. Yachiyo confides that she has turned down many acting jobs but accepted this one because the director begged her, even if she flops. She vows to see it through to expand her repertoire. Tsuruno promises to stay by her side.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria is in shock seeing her idol perform poorly. The filmmakers work around it by taking away Yachiyo&#039;s lines. Ria confronts Yachiyo and Tsuruno after the reading, declaring she will give Yachiyo an acting bootcamp. She does not want Yachiyo&#039;s performance to drag down her makeup work or her reputation as Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at home, Yachiyo reviews the script. Tsuruno explains the Mizuna fairy tale to the rest of Mikazuki. Felicia becomes interested when she learns there are fight scenes. Tsuruno explains that the day Tsuyu and Chizuru teamed up was Tanabata, and people in Kamihama entrust their wishes to them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next week or so, Yachiyo is drilled on acting with a professional coach and Ria&#039;s guidance. She eventually executes her lines perfectly and Ria is relieved.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;

Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Big Sis, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward.

* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Touka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Hazuki and Nanaka team up with Ui to teach her how to defeat witches. Ui claims her first victory and receives a grief seed as a reward while Touka and Nemu tag along to offer congratulations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui suddenly realizes she loves the choir and wants to become a music teacher. She excitedly shares this revelation with her family and friends and resolves to work hard toward this future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art. The Amanes are relieved, and Tsukuyo suggests they play their flutes at the shrine on the way home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Both affirm that their only allies are each other, and they will always be together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends. Before Hibari&#039;s family moved away, she performed a charm ritual on Aru and promised they would meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message that Hibari is coming to visit Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After some confusion about directions, they reach the arcade where Hibari wins a crane game prize and helps Juri win one too. Hibari suddenly becomes pale and goes to get change, but she does not return. Kagome calls her and Hibari thanks her for being friends before saying goodbye, with an ambulance audible in the background.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome discovers a crowd under a Witch&#039;s Kiss heading toward a rooftop and sends emergency messages to every Magical Girl she knows. Himena&#039;s group arrives to help hold back the crowd, but other girls cannot come due to similar incidents elsewhere. Shizuka finally checks her phone and rushes over with the Tokime Clan just as someone threatens to ignite kerosene. They stop the crowd while Juri and Ao defeat the Witch with Livia&#039;s help. The Witch&#039;s Kiss is lifted and Hibari wakes up confused, with Livia covering that she collapsed from anemia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari admits she felt faint because seeing Kagome surrounded by friends made her happy but also made her feel left behind and alone. Kagome insists Hibari is wrong and promises to come running whenever Hibari is in trouble, asking them to stay best friends forever. Hibari reveals the two wishes she made when they parted came true: that she could speak her mind loudly and that Kagome would make lots of friends. They renew their promise to remain best friends forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They bonded over a shared love of &amp;quot;The Adventure of Mandragora.&amp;quot; Hibari gave Kagome a Mandragora plushie named Al-chan and asked to be friends. Kagome learned ventriloquism through Al-chan and grew more confident. The two became inseparable.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kagome&#039;s family moved due to her father&#039;s job transfer, Hibari put a charm on Al-chan with a secret wish. They promised to meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message from Hibari saying she will visit Kamihama. Kagome prepares to show her around.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives in Kamihama. Kagome is happy to see her. They go to the arcade. On the way, they run into Himena and her group. Kagome introduces Hibari. Later, Kagome helps Shizuka, who was lost and struggling with a foreigner. Hibari is impressed by how much Kagome has grown.&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the arcade. Hibari wins a plushie from a difficult crane game in one try. Juri, Yuna, and Ao appear. Juri asks Hibari to win a prize for her. Hibari succeeds. Juri offers a drink as thanks, but Hibari declines.&lt;br /&gt;

* Day 4&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri struggled at school, frustrated by classmates who avoided conflict and teachers who enabled them. Her anger built up. She reflected on how she became a Magical Girl—she wished for a patient, stout heart to stay in school and not burden her father. The wish gave her patience but did not eliminate her anger; it built up as flames until she exploded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl Yuna introduced continued to spar with Juri. The girl revealed Juri had saved her from a Witch, and she admired Juri.

*Day 7 (Present Day)&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri explained the rest of the story to the group. The accident triggered the Blood Tragedy of Futatsugi. Ranka had been exploited by Monzenbashi Bat, and Ao formed Janomiya. Juri reflected that the recent months had been the toughest. She came home late again. Her father asked about her absences. Juri said she was fighting for the future and would explain in a few months. She reflected on how much she and her father were alike, both unable to ignore past stains. She said she liked being with him, just the two of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Emiri asks what country life is like; Chiharu and Sunao give different answers from Shizuka since they are more familiar with modern living. They mention meeting only recently, surprising Emiri. Shizuka proudly explains they are bound by their duty to protect Japan, and Emiri says, “As long as you have no regrets, it’s okay.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After thinking it over, she searches for information with help from others, but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hinano explains that because the agreement fell through, local manufacturers like Kanoko’s father stayed in business, so there was little news. Chiharu and Sunao arrange a meeting at the factory and bring Shizuka. Kanoko’s father tells Shizuka his factory would have failed otherwise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Shigure and Hagumu grow close but quickly become jaded. Their families and classmates resent their constant lateness, which comes from Magius work no one can know about.

* Hagumu reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. After Walpurgisnacht, the organization dissolved, and many former Feathers joined the Kamihama Magia Union. Hagumu is uncertain, as she believes in Magical Girl Supremacy and cannot accept the Union&#039;s ideology of liberation without sacrifice. Shigure contacts her, asking to meet and talk. Shigure wants to convince Touka and Nemu to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Hagumu is conflicted—she cannot trust the Magius after being exploited, but she also cannot decide what to do. She asks for time to think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hagumu Azumi#Side Story|Hagumu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu meets Maria, a former Magius member who joined the Union. Maria notices Hagumu looks unwell and offers to listen. Hagumu explains her dilemma: she cannot agree with the Union&#039;s ideology, but she also cannot follow Shigure&#039;s plan. Maria suggests Hagumu ask other Magical Girls how they decided. Hagumu recalls her wish was made in haste to save a woman under a Witch&#039;s Kiss, and she regrets not choosing a better wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Moka why she joined the Union. Moka says she joined because she was invited and everyone is kind. Hagumu sees Moka is honest and never doubts people, which is why everyone supports her. Hagumu realizes they are completely different—Moka has people who protect her, while Hagumu feels she has nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Yukika, a former Black Feather, why she declined the Union. Yukika says she did not want to drag others into trouble. Hagumu sees Yukika has strong convictions and follows them, unlike herself. Hagumu feels more discouraged.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches. Hagumu is moved but asks for more time to discuss it with Shigure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hagumu senses a Witch and goes to help. She sees Riko, an elementary schooler, defeating the Witch on her own. Hagumu realizes her ability to fight Witches is not special—any Magical Girl can do it. She feels her &amp;quot;glass slippers&amp;quot; are cracking and shattering. She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Miyuri&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena, Alexandra, Hagumu, and Shigure watch as San stretches Miyuri. Miyuri&#039;s loud reactions draw attention. Himena asks about Miyuri&#039;s inline skating. Miyuri explains she started skating as a child because she was bad at running and her parents bought her skates. She fell in love with the feeling of cutting through the wind and quickly improved, eventually competing in freestyle competitions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Miyuri Yukari#Side Story|Miyuri&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s social anxiety worsened. She began experiencing panic attacks at competitions and could no longer compete. Her parents signed her up with the Hikarizuka Youth Association to help her interact with people. There, she met San for the first time. San invited her to dance practice. Miyuri fainted from overexcitement while watching San&#039;s legs. She realized she had a leg fetish and that it triggered her anxiety. She began avoiding San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s skating practice suffered. Her mother suggested she visit the Community Center. Miyuri avoided San again and went outside to practice skating alone at night. She felt free and happy while skating. San saw her dancing in the moonlight and was mesmerized. San decided she wanted to help Miyuri grow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish. San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri learned her new power shortened her experience of anxiety. She became more confident but still fainted easily. She fought Witches alone, often blacking out and going berserk.

San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training. Touka and Nemu suggested San should train Miyuri since she could still hear San&#039;s voice when unconscious. San agreed and became Miyuri&#039;s instructor. Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Lavi explains she used to have a frail body as a child due to an unidentifiable condition. Her grandfather grew organic vegetables, which eased her symptoms. However, a severe storm destroyed the field&#039;s soil, making it impossible to grow vegetables. Lavi wished to restore the soil and became a Magical Girl. Her wish saved the field and gave hope to others. She admits her improved health was partly due to becoming a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The meal is delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After making the newspaper, Nayuta and Mikage fall asleep. Lavi reflects on her past. She reveals that she never found joy in living despite her family&#039;s efforts. Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true. She asks for a little more time in her beloved daily life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Asahi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime Tribe holds a celebration to welcome Asahi. During introductions, Chiharu rambles excitedly about her favorite shows, and Asahi finds herself intrigued. When pressed to share more about herself, Asahi talks about hunting and the importance of minimizing suffering. That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun. Everyone apologizes, and they end the day with a shared dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** In the dream, Alexandra&#039;s teacher appears—but he looks like Shigure. Other people appear as Himena and Hagumu. She recalls that her teacher was her math teacher and club advisor. He was strict and had a reputation for being scary. Alexandra remembers how she would complain about him with her classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After club activities, Alexandra wants to practice singing more. She goes to the rooftop and finds the teacher there. He allows her to practice under his supervision. They begin meeting regularly on the rooftop. She learns he does not smoke and is careful about his throat. He mentions that being an adult is not that great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A male classmate confesses to Alexandra. She almost accepts but pictures the teacher&#039;s face and realizes she loves someone else. She rejects the classmate. Later, it rains, and the teacher lends her his towel. She realizes she has fallen in love with him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She keeps trying to convey her feelings, but he never takes her seriously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra&#039;s behavior becomes obvious in class. She eagerly volunteers to answer questions and is overly happy when called on. Her classmates are amazed she can talk to the scary teacher so cheerfully. She learns everyone fears him. She asks why he became a teacher, and he admits his parents were teachers and he had wanted to be a singer but never pursued it. He wonders if there is any meaning to his life. Alexandra feels sorrow and wants him to be happy. She begins planning to improve his reputation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey appears and offers to grant any wish. Alexandra wants to capture the teacher&#039;s heart through her own efforts. She decides not to make a wish yet. She organizes a surprise birthday party for him with her classmates. He is genuinely happy and thanks her. He realizes she planned it. She tells him all the students respect him. He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra continues her jokes and attempts to get closer to the teacher. She jokes about marriage and asks for a date on the school trip. He unexpectedly agrees to go shopping with her for a few minutes. She hugs him in excitement. A classmate spots them on the rooftop. Rumors spread quickly. The principal calls the teacher in. He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra cannot wake up from the dream. She imagines the teacher scolding her for playing with his feelings. She decides she needs to apologize in real life. She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love. She tells him her feelings were not a deception—they were true love. She thanks him for a wonderful time and says she now only places her faith in Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She decides to coach Rei properly. Lavi offers to stay and help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara and Rei practice together. Lavi advises on timing. Rei successfully performs the trick. Urara tells her to remember the joy of performing, not just winning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rei competes and wins her first cup by performing the Urara Special, a trick even the prodigy could not do. Rei thanks Urara. Urara realizes that coaching helped her grow and face her regrets about Kurara. Rei asks Urara to be her permanent coach. Urara agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara returns to the Folklore base. She announces she will continue coaching diabolo classes. She wants to pass down her goal of making people smile through diabolo acts to the next generation. Lavi and the others support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nayuta&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta dreams of proving folkloric studies superior to Touka, but Lavi wakes her with obnoxious humming. Lavi scolds her for being a deep sleeper and rushes her to school in Takarazaki City, where Nayuta complains that Lavi acts like a stern stepmother rather than a kind maid her age.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In class, a self‑assessment exercise has Nayuta describe herself as quiet and diligent, but her peers call her stubborn, someone who hates losing and speaks her mind. She reluctantly accepts “stubborn” fits her persistent search for her father. The teacher introduces the Johari Window, explaining that without communication people understand themselves at most fifty percent and others only twenty‑five percent—a lesson that sticks with Nayuta.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Nayuta meets Iroha at the train station. Both are surprised the other remembers them. They discover they are the same grade and both hail from Takarazaki, and Iroha mentions she also searched for a lost loved one. Nayuta requests to see Yachiyo, apologizing for her bluntness. Iroha reassures her, noting they are both stubborn junior‑high girls from Takarazaki who came to Kamihama to find someone important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Yachiyo has no new information about Nayuta’s father. Tsuruno has Nayuta show a photo, but no one recognizes him. Felicia suggests Nayuta simply ask Touka, since she also grew up at Satomi Medical Center. Nayuta refuses, saying she cannot trust Touka, and apologizes for her stubbornness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Nayuta admits to Lavi she slept poorly because she cannot stop thinking about Touka. Mikage arrives, upset after a fight with Sudachi: Mikage complained about school, Sudachi said she envied Mikage for being able to attend, and they argued over whose position was harder.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home. Lavi approves of her standing her ground, and Nayuta realizes she and Lavi are more alike than she thought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Himika tells her about Emiri’s counseling center, so they go there together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the center, Emiri, Sasara, Asuka, and Kanoko are delighted to meet Mitama’s little sister. Mikage explains she is looking for a friend, but Emiri points out they are already her friends. After some banter about fashion, Mikage tries on Kanoko’s outfits and has a wonderful time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mikage wonders if the older girls truly see her as a friend or just as a kid. Himika suggests she meet girls her own age like Ui, Touka, and Nemu, though Mikage is uncertain about befriending the geniuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When she returns home, Mitama warns her that Ui has been kidnapped by Promised Blood and forbids Mikage from associating with the Kamihama Magia Union. Mikage reluctantly agrees but is frustrated her efforts to make friends have been stopped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama leaves for work and Mikage accuses her of hypocrisy—Mitama can spend time with the KMU while Mikage cannot. She runs out, declaring she will find a new big sister. She finds Emiri’s office closed but runs into Rika and Ren, who quickly realize she is Mitama’s sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Mikage bond over fashion and go to some cheap stores, where Mikage realizes she left her wallet. They play a crane game instead, and Rika wins stuffed animals for Ren and Mikage. Mikage asks Rika to be her big sister; Rika declines but encourages her to talk to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory. Kanoko lets her help make a pendant, but before Mikage can convince her to become her sister, Mitama arrives and drags her home. Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any. Later, she finds Mitama has made all her favorite foods, and they reconcile off‑screen; Mikage gives Mitama the pendant she made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage declares she will not give up on making Kamihama Magia Union friends. She then decides that since Lavi and Nayuta are older, they can be her big sisters instead. They exchange a look and agree to treat her for one day. Mikage expresses her hope that someday she and Sudachi can play with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yozuru plays piano at a pharmacist’s request, impressing everyone, then meets Livia Medeiros and Sudachi Sawa. Sudachi exposes Mifuyu, who decides to introduce herself directly. Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yozuru meets Livia and Sudachi again. Yozuru worries she lacks the kindness to be a good coordinator, but Livia encourages her. Sudachi’s stomach rumbles, and Yozuru prepares snacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yozuru replies that her mother trained her to face worse and declares she will live to the fullest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited again. She jokes about the visitor&#039;s persistence. Yozuru and Sudachi return from stocking up on essentials. Sudachi trips, and Yozuru hesitates to help. Livia instructs Yozuru to help Sudachi stand and dust her off. Yozuru apologizes and explains she is not equipped with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the trailer, Yozuru offers tea. Sudachi wants teacakes. Livia allows them to have some as a treat. Livia reflects that she needs to help the girls mature. Yozuru has lost compassion, while Sudachi needs to find her words. Livia believes they will complement each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is found sleeping and crying. Yozuru gives her a handkerchief. Livia says crying in sleep happens occasionally and is common among Coordinators. She thanks Sudachi for finding her dropped ring. Sudachi sulks when Livia refuses to give her sweets as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the ring is a treasure and a way of reprimanding herself. It is the reason she lives for &amp;quot;Mister Sun.&amp;quot; She says she may tell the full story another time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia shares her philosophy: no matter how awful life is, do not drift in a bad direction or relieve resentment with a curse. Magical Girls are born from hope and must overcome struggles with hope. She warns against corrupting purity and urges supporting those with pure hearts. She says she has said enough for now and will share the rest when she is ready. She asks the visitor to promise to live strong, face forward, and not end up like her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After the battle, Nanaka explains Lil&#039; Kyubey followed her into the labyrinth and returned a flower she dropped. Nanaka asks Ryo to tell Lil&#039; Kyubey to stop visiting unfriendly Magical Girls. Ryo realizes Lil&#039; Kyubey avoids girls with potential and is not soliciting anyone. She writes an article correcting her earlier suspicions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Ui finishes her journal. Touka and Nemu read it and use it as qualitative data. They debate whether Lil&#039; Kyubey is mimicking humans or simply reinforcing Ui&#039;s actions. Iroha suggests Lil&#039; Kyubey is supporting them in their efforts to free all Magical Girls. Lil&#039; Kyubey agrees, and Iroha thanks it for accompanying them. She says they will continue together from now on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This is also belonging to the anime partly. Write the main part on the magia record and then the second part on the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices.

* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the boy reads the fairy tale Kuroe recommended. He questions a detail in the story, but Kuroe simply accepts it because the writer says so. He jokes that he feels alive because Kuroe thinks so deeply, meaning it as a compliment.

She asks peers what they would wish for, but ends up jealous of those with elaborate fantasies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at school, Kuroe reflects that she was happy at first. The boy talks to her daily, and she finally feels she belongs. She joins the rhythmic gymnastics club, and her boyfriend asks her to see a movie based on one of her book recommendations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the movie, Kuroe enjoys herself but senses a Witch and abruptly leaves her boyfriend. Inside the Labyrinth, she learns a child got in, and though she defeats the Witch, she fails to save the child. Consumed by guilt, she begs God not to forgive her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As time passes, Kuroe continues fighting Witches but grows increasingly broken by her failures. Kyubey asks her, “Who would save those humans if you stopped fighting?”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Before she knows it, Kuroe is a third-year middle school student. Her boyfriend notices she seems distracted. She stays after school for help on an essay, and he remarks she is too serious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* At home she prays for a life without fighting or seeing people die. At school, in a depressed mood, she asks her boyfriend unsettling questions about sacrifice and guilt. When he realizes something is wrong, she says she is going to die soon. Despite his attempts to help, she breaks up with him, feeling she deceived him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to the train station and senses a Witch. Inside the Labyrinth, she saves a young, inexperienced Magical Girl. When the girl asks for a spare Grief Seed, Kuroe lies and says the Witch got away. The girl promises they will both become strong and leaves. Kuroe later concludes the girl likely died, a breaking point that leaves her feeling unworthy. That night she begins having a strange dream telling her to go to Kamihama, where Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** That night, Kuroe faces a Witch too powerful for her. Another Magical Girl, Iroha Tamaki, saves her, gives her a Grief Seed, and offers friendship. The kindness reminds Kuroe of the white‑hooded girl and her regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe returns the Grief Seed to Iroha, and they begin working together. They notice no Witches have appeared in Takarazaki for a week—coinciding with Kuroe’s dreams of Kamihama. Seeing online comments from other Magical Girls heading there, Kuroe decides to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe and Iroha go to Kamihama together but nearly die against an unusually strong Witch until Yachiyo Nanami saves them. Yachiyo warns them to stay out. At home, Kuroe watches a video by Touka Satomi of the Wings of the Magius, who promise a world where Magical Girls no longer need to fight. The message comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kuroe turns in her essay, which suggests separating students who enjoy school from those who do not. Her teacher tries to help, but Kuroe snaps about always having to pretend. She says she is going to die tomorrow and runs off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe dreams of Iroha, though she cannot understand her words. Her Doppel reflects that her contract gave her affirmation of existence, yet she still does not feel like anyone - she simply adapts to whatever situation she is in, resented by no one and dependent on no one, but still wondering who she should be. In the dream, Iroha asks what scares her and offers to figure out who Kuroe is together. Kuroe wakes up wondering why she dreamed of the camping trip, and she calls Iroha, deciding she wants to connect with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroeds&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Doppel Story|Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sasara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara is taken hostage at knifepoint in a convenience store. Despite her desire to be a knight, she is too terrified to act. Though the police arrest the criminal and she is safe, Sasara feels ashamed and hates herself for her cowardice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sasara Minagi#Side Story|Sasara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sasara meets Kyubey and when he makes his offer, Sasara accepts without hesitation. As her father works for an emergency rescue squad, a job she admires, he gave her a favorite picture book about a knight who defeats a dragon to save a village. Sasara carries this book everywhere and has always wanted to be like her father and the knight. She wishes to become a knight who can protect and save people, asking for a stronger heart and stronger convictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Sasara has been hunting witches and saving their victims ever since making her contract. She calls herself the Knight who protects the people of Kamihama, but over time her feelings become tainted. The people she rescues never remember what happened and do not acknowledge her. Sasara realizes she wants someone to appreciate her and questions whether she really wanted to become a knight at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book. She thought she could accept the people she helped not talking to her, but now it feels like she does not even exist. When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nanaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Needs to be re-checked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako to ask for their help fighting a witch they all share a connection to. To explain why she needs them, Nanaka tells them how she became a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka&#039;s father headed a traditional Japanese flower arranging school, but when he fell ill, senior students took over and grew the school&#039;s popularity while abandoning its traditions, shutting out Nanaka&#039;s family entirely. On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform. She decided to lay the Soul Gem with its owner&#039;s body, and when she placed the gem in the girl&#039;s hands, the girl began breathing again. Later, Kyubey explained that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Kyubey asks if Nanaka will tell the others this secret, but she says she is waiting for the right moment. Nanaka then reflects that her true revenge target is actually Kyubey himself. Her power makes it clear he is her enemy, though she does not know all the details, and she is waiting for the right time to turn against him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Nanaka&#039;s team is still unable to find the witch. Akira reports meeting a magical girl mercenary. As the girls plan their next move, Nanaka muses about how she is gathering the determination of magical girls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Shizuku&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Re-check.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuku enjoys time with her friends but feels disconnected from them and uncertain about her future. She finds comfort in Fūnī, a traveler who visits her family&#039;s cafe and shares his dream of finding a place to belong. When he invites her to search with him, she feels hopeful that she will not be alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Fūnī dies in an accident, and Shizuku makes a contract with Kyubey, wishing to be taken to him instantly. She arrives at the hospital as he dies, begging him not to leave her. She resolves to continue searching for a place to belong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As a magical girl, Shizuku gains the power to connect spaces, allowing her to travel the world much like Fūnī once did. She continues her search, taking jobs from an unknown magical girl who pays her to use her power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day after a job, Yachiyo Nanami, Tsuruno Yui, and Iroha Tamaki approach her. Iroha invites Shizuku to their house, where she meets Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba. She stays for dinner and overnight, observing how the five girls live together like a family. Yachiyo invites her to stay as long as she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku realizes the other girls have found their place to belong, but she understands that her own place was with Fūnī. She cries as his last words finally make sense to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, Shizuku ends her arrangement with the unknown magical girl and returns to Yachiyo&#039;s house, hoping she can stay there. When she arrives, the house is empty, and she sees the personal items that mark each girl&#039;s place. Overhearing them return, she realizes their home is complete with five people and she does not belong there. She leaves quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and the others had prepared a welcome party with cake, but Shizuku never comes. Yachiyo senses that Shizuku might disappear if you look away and admits she should have seen this coming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku returns to the unknown magical girl and asks for more work. When asked why she came back, she says their picture was complete with five people and she must keep searching for where she belongs. She mentally apologizes to Yachiyo, knowing her actions will cause disaster but feeling unprepared to take responsibility. She wonders if she will ever find solid ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Akira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After Nanaka and Sasara contracts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Akira wakes from a dream about being attacked by a familiar and finds Sasara Minagi nearby, who is out for a walk. Sasara offers to help Akira search for an old man&#039;s lost cane, recalling she saw children playing with a red cane, and the two head off together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akira Shinobu#Side Story|Akira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akira reflects on her upbringing in her father&#039;s karate dojo, where she learned to always help those in need and earned the neighborhood nickname &amp;quot;Troubleshooter&amp;quot; starting at age six.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira started middle school, a girl asked her to be a bodyguard against a stalker. The girl brought her to a park, confessed her love, and admitted to lying about the stalker. Akira politely rejected her, saying she didn&#039;t know much about that sort of thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Akira learned the girl had vanished and spent days searching for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day Akira found the barrier, she retraced the girl&#039;s steps in the park and stepped into a witch&#039;s labyrinth. She found the missing girl among blank-faced victims marked by a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Kyubey appeared, explained about witches and magical girls, and offered a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Familiars attacked and overwhelmed her despite her karate training. Injured, Akira wished to save all those people, transformed, and destroyed the familiars.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, none of the victims remembered the incident. Kyubey told Akira she needed to defeat the witch itself, which became her destiny as a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a magical girl, Akira patrolled Kamihama investigating witch-related incidents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day, she encountered a familiar without transforming and dropped her Soul Gem. Unable to retrieve it, she fled the barrier and collapsed unconscious outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira woke, Nanaka Tokiwa introduced herself as the magical girl who found her and picked up her Soul Gem. Nanaka advised withdrawing since Akira had collapsed, and Akira reluctantly agreed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Nanaka called asking for a favor. When they met again, Nanaka requested a duel, claiming Akira was weak and should quit hunting witches. Akira refused, citing her family&#039;s dojo, and they dueled. After some fighting, Nanaka ended the duel and apologized. She explained she wanted to test Akira&#039;s resolve and invited her to work together as a team. Akira relented after Nanaka claimed she was troubled and couldn&#039;t fight witches alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present day, Akira returns the cane to the old man and thanks Sasara. She reflects on meeting many magical girls since joining Nanaka and wonders how many exist in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Manaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes Manaka cooking at her family&#039;s failing restaurant, Walnuts. She dreams of following her father&#039;s footsteps as a chef and believes that gaining admission to the prestigious St. Lillianna Academy will help her cook like a high class lady and restore the restaurant&#039;s popularity. Kyubey notes her poor grades make passing unlikely, but Manaka insists this is her father&#039;s last chance and resolves to study.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Manaka Kurumi#Side Story|Manaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On exam day, Manaka takes the St. Lillianna entrance exams but is only accepted into Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Upon starting at Mizuna, Manaka visits the student council and offers to cook for an upcoming joint assembly with St. Lillian. The council dismisses her, explaining they already arranged a chef.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Walking home, Kyubey again offers a contract. Fed up, Manaka accepts but wishes not for the restaurant&#039;s success, but for a chance to spread their restaurant&#039;s flavors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A week before the assembly, the student council learns their chef was invited to a competition. They reach out to Manaka, who happily accepts. Her cooking at the assembly is a tremendous success, with the fancy girls declaring it superior to renowned restaurants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the assembly, Manaka begins selling popular bentos at school and works as a visiting chef at St. Lillian every Thursday. However, none of this translates to more customers at her family&#039;s restaurant. Meanwhile, her father receives invitations to tour as a chef and seems genuinely happy traveling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt; Manaka questions why she even bothered trying.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Manaka finishes selling bentos and keeps one for herself. Sana Futaba rushes in, upset at arriving too late. Sana explains she can normally only be seen by magical girls, but Manaka insists a first-class chef never loses sight of her customers and offers her bento. Sana accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana promises to arrive earlier tomorrow, but Manaka reveals this may be her last day selling bentos. She admits she thinks she made her restaurant even more obscure, and if she is not helping it, she sees no point in cooking. Sana tearfully confesses that Manaka&#039;s bentos became the only thing she looked forward to during lonely lunch breaks. She insists Manaka should not quit because she is still making people happy. Seeing Sana smile gives Manaka new motivation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Ria Ami#Side Story|Ria&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Kako, Manaka&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A documentary crew follows Ria Ami, whose natural beauty causes crowds to part, though she admits she has no basis for comparison when asked about her challenges. Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;

** Kyubey explained that the bullying was caused by a Witch&#039;s influence—Witches hurt people, who then hurt others. Ren resolved to destroy Witches to create a better world. However, no matter how many Witches she defeated, people still acted cruelly. Kyubey told her that even destroying all Witches would not remove malice from people&#039;s hearts. This is why Ren wanted to die again, but she cannot explain any of this to Rika.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika takes Ren to meet other Magical Girls. At Emiri&#039;s Trouble Consultation Office, Ren meets Akira but cannot introduce herself and nearly cries. Emiri brings her to Ria, who gives her hand cream, and Konomi, who gives her chamomile tea. Rika then takes Ren to the chemistry club, where Hinano gives her candy instead of medicine. They visit Kanoko at her family&#039;s metal factory, where Kanoko shows a dress she designed with mushroom motifs and gives Ren accessories made of metal sheets. Emiri leaves, and Rika admits she never actually listened to Ren&#039;s problem.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika shares her own story: she wished for someone she loved to love her back, even though that person already liked someone else. She says she stole that love with a selfish wish and asks Ren if she thinks she is a horrible person. Ren manages to say she does not think so. Rika is relieved. She explains that to get others to open up, you must share the secrets that create distance.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren tries to tell her story but cannot get the words out and begins crying. Rika tells her not to force herself. She shows Ren all the gifts she received from the others and says that if all these people were thinking about her, she should continue to live. She says the world is filled with both bad and beautiful things, and the most painful thing is to have nothing. Ren says she will live. Rika leaves, and Ren thanks her. Ren thinks that if Rika can accept her story, she will be able to live forever.&lt;br /&gt;

===Konoha&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoha manages the finances and makes decisions for Hazuki and Ayame. When Hazuki calls to say she&#039;s stuck at meetings and suggests take-out, Konoha decides to cook instead to save money. Despite Hazuki&#039;s warnings, Ayame tries Konoha&#039;s cooking. Later, Hazuki returns to find Ayame sick; Konoha learns Ayame was too polite to refuse the food. Hazuki offers to handle meals from now on, which prompts Konoha to resolve that she will learn to make delicious food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konoha Shizumi#Side Story|Konoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha buys cookware and studies cooking theory, suspecting Hazuki might be a cooking prodigy. She makes a disastrous meal incorporating everything she read, and Hazuki collapses after tasting it. Ayame brings home a flyer for a cooking class at &amp;quot;Youshoku Walnuts,&amp;quot; noting that the food there made Hazuki cry. Ayame encourages Konoha, and Konoha resolves to take the class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Konoha meets the teacher, Manaka Kurumi, at the restaurant. Manaka attempts to teach knife skills and how to crack eggs, but Konoha struggles with both. Manaka promises to help her improve. She has Konoha make practice dishes, but Konoha burns oil, over-dashes rice, and explodes miso soup, so Manaka has to take over each time. When finished, Manaka tastes it, insists it&#039;s good to protect her reputation, eats it all, and passes out. Konoha tries the leftovers and confirms it is truly terrible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha hunts a witch with her team while distracted by thoughts about cooking. After they defeat it, Himika Mao arrives late, introduces herself, and asks if they are sisters; Hazuki explains they are not. Himika mentions she is thirteen with five younger siblings. When Ayame asks about being an older sister, Himika invites her to meet her family. Konoha asks to come as Ayame&#039;s guardian upon learning Himika cooks for her family, and Himika accepts. Hazuki says she will prepare dinner at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, at Himika&#039;s house, Konoha and Ayame observe the cramped living space. Himika explains she uses cheap leftover meat blends from a disposal man to feed her family. She serves dinner, and all her siblings along with Ayame eat. When Konoha asks if the food is tasty, the siblings say they never think it&#039;s bad because Himika does her best. Konoha reflects on Azalea&#039;s House and realizes she was too focused on theory rather than on who she was cooking for. She thanks Himika and leaves with Ayame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, Ayame and Hazuki find Konoha cooking again. Konoha promises to give up if she fails this time. Focusing on her feelings rather than theory, she makes a meal from Azalea&#039;s. Hazuki and Ayame try it and say it&#039;s bad, but it&#039;s edible. Konoha is excited that someone could actually eat her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ayame returns home to find Konoha cooking again. Hazuki observes that Konoha has found joy in the act of cooking. Konoha narrates that she learned cooking is about heart, and could now make food people could finish. She thinks cooking is fun, though Ayame and Hazuki sometimes scream loud enough to startle the neighbors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Konoha attempts beef stroganoff, a dish Hazuki admits is difficult. Hazuki and Ayame try it and collapse. Konoha says she will redo it. She narrates that experience matters, and wonders what to try next.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hazuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame meet with Nanaka, Meiyui, Akira, and Kako at a restaurant to discuss how to handle situations where both teams target the same Witch. Meiyui proposes a first-come, first-served rule, but Hazuki points out it would lead to disputes over who arrived first. Ayame suggests settling conflicts with rock-paper-scissors, and though Meiyui argues there&#039;s no time for games in battle, Hazuki has them try it on the spot. When Ayame and Meiyui play, Meiyui uses a martial arts technique to change Ayame&#039;s hand, causing an argument between the groups. Hazuki calms everyone down and suggests they go home for the day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hazuki Yusa#Side Story|Hazuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls reconvene at the restaurant. Hazuki proposes a new rule: anyone who uses magic against a Witch gains proportional rights to the Grief Seed. Both teams agree, and Hazuki suggests they gather data by hunting together. They split into mixed teams—Ayame and Kako form one; Hazuki, Akira, and Meiyui another and Konoha and Nanaka stand by to help as needed. After the successful joint hunt, Nanaka meets with Hazuki alone at the restaurant. She reveals she believes Hazuki manipulated the entire situation from the first meeting, noting that her team was impressed with Hazuki&#039;s group&#039;s teamwork but that she herself was more struck by Hazuki&#039;s modus operandi. Nanaka asks why Hazuki orchestrated everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki admits she wanted Konoha, who is introverted, to connect with others and that after the Witch fight, Konoha seemed genuinely happy. She explains her goal was simply to build connections between her group and other Kamihama Magical Girls. Nanaka accepts this and says she&#039;s glad to work with her. Later, Hazuki writes in her notebook that Nanaka is shrewd but fascinating, and she resolves to continue reaching out to other Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ayame&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame encounters Felicia during a Witch fight, and their rivalry quickly escalates when Felicia dismisses Ayame&#039;s challenge to lead the girls to argue and accidentally let the Witch escape. Frustrated by losing to Felicia specifically, Ayame confronts her afterward, and despite Kako&#039;s attempts to mediate, the two insist on settling things through some competition. Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch. Emerging back in the park, Felicia thanks Ayame, and they realize the race was never finished. They resume, but Ayame admits she&#039;s fine with not winning and she has come to accept Felicia as a strong rival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ayamess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ayame Mikuri#Side Story|Ayame&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Masara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro gives Masara cookies simply because she wants to, leaving Masara confused by the gesture. Masara flashes back to their first meeting, when Kokoro had blamed herself for being unable to protect others and Masara told her she should not carry that guilt. Kokoro had asked to stay by Masara&#039;s side, explaining that those words had saved her. In the present, Kokoro asks what Masara is thinking about, and when Masara admits she was remembering their first meeting, Kokoro smiles. Masara does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Masara Kagami#Side Story|Masara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara visits Mitama for magical strengthening, bringing many Grief Seeds with her. Mitama notes her unusual enthusiasm, and Masara explains she wants to get stronger in order to find something that might change her life. Mitama suggests she try attending a summer festival and hands her a flyer, but Masara shows no interest. When Mitama brings up Kokoro, mentioning that Kokoro has talked about her, Masara insists they are merely working together, not friends, and finds Kokoro&#039;s expectations troublesome. Mitama claims Masara is actually worried about Kokoro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara reflects on her childhood, remembering how her parents had her swim from a young age. Despite showing talent, she never felt any joy or sense of accomplishment, though she continued hoping it might eventually change. It never did. She became a magical girl thinking her dull life might finally become interesting, but even that eventually grew boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead. The Witch targets Kokoro, and Masara injures herself by blocking the attack. The Witch escapes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro apologizes, but Masara claims she only did what was most logical, since the Witch could not have been defeated alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Masara keeps flashing back to the moment the Witch attacked Kokoro whenever she looks at her injury. The recurring memory bothers her, though she does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Kokoro offers to hunt the Witch again with Masara. Masara flashes back to the previous fight and insists she will hunt it alone. She tells Kokoro she is a burden and that she does not like getting hurt. Masara leaves Kokoro crying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara tells Mitama what happened. Mitama suggests Masara was actually trying to protect Kokoro. Masara is at a loss and wonders why being around Kokoro causes her to get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro blames herself for causing Masara trouble. She senses the same Witch and, respecting Masara&#039;s wish to hunt alone, decides to fight it by herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help. Masara agrees and tells Kokoro to call her next time. When Kokoro worries about causing trouble, Masara insists she is doing it for herself, because she does not like seeing Kokoro get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro asks if she can call Masara during lunch. Masara says she does not care either way. The two go to Mitama&#039;s place together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro notices the summer festival flyer and asks if Masara is interested. Masara admits she is a little interested. Mitama laughs and says they can look forward to the future when there is something or someone important. Kokoro and Masara are confused by her comment, which exasperates Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Konomi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi welcomes Kaede and Kako to the flower shop where she works part-time. She began working at Blossom because the florist once comforted her as a crying child with a single flower, and now Konomi does the same for other children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konomi Haruna#Side Story|Konomi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a customer leaves, Kaede and Kako help the florist carry supplies. The florist recently returned from the hospital, having survived a serious illness. Konomi remembers the day she found an ambulance outside and learned the shop might close. Desperate to help, she wished to Kyubey to cure the florist&#039;s illness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;!--The Flashback: Their First Meeting--&amp;gt;Kaede and Kako visit the shop for the first time. Kako searches for a specific flower, which Konomi identifies. During tea break, Kako explains she read about the flowers in a novel and wants to buy some for a friend&#039;s birthday. Kaede admits she has never given flowers but receiving them once felt wonderful. Konomi smiles and says she has an idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of the flower giveaway, Konomi, Kaede, and Kako take to the streets, suddenly appearing to hand bouquets to strangers before disappearing. A lottery winner, a despairing old man, and a boy who just got a girl&#039;s number all receive flowers. Later, the girls reunite. Kaede gave to ten people, Kako to thirteen. Konomi apologizes, but they agree to try again the day after tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, before their next giveaway, a girl asks Konomi about the Bursting Flower Girl, a rumored figure who appears on Tuesdays and Thursdays to hand out flowers that supposedly sprout mouths. Konomi, Kaede, and Kako realize they are the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi panics, fearing they have made people hate flowers. They notice a little girl crying because her mother refused to buy her a toy ring. Konomi offers a flower, but the girl wants a ring. Kako fashions the flower into a ring, and the girl calls it pretty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi realizes they have been giving flowers without understanding what recipients truly want. She decides to create something more meaningful. Inspired by Kaede&#039;s mention of birthday flowers and Kako&#039;s knowledge of flower language, they plan an arrangement that speaks to people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi and the girls create a birthday cake made of fifty flowers, with chocolate and candy inside. The cake incorporates birth flowers so greetings can be communicated through their language. They prepare a fair at the shop to showcase it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi shows the cake to the florist, who gives a muted reaction and announces her retirement, planning to leave Konomi the shop.

===Rika&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Hinano, Emiri, Ria, Manaka, Akira&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Rika is invited to a blind date by Emiri Kisaki, who brings along Hinano Miyako, a girl recently heartbroken. When the boys on the date mock Hinano&#039;s youthful appearance and odd way of speaking, Rika surprises her by defending them. Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her. Emiri and Rika quickly reassure Hinano, with Rika adding that Hinano is actually cool for having been able to confess her feelings—unlike Rika, who never confessed at all and watched her crush end up with someone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri then suggests Rika should make a wish, revealing that she and Hinano are magical girls who each received one wish in exchange for fighting monsters. Rika wonders if this is some kind of game. Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika muses that her wish was granted and she is now dating her crush, yet she feels deeply unhappy. When Kyubey asks what is wrong, she admits that every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens with unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert. Sayuki believes speaking out is important no matter the outcome and swears to protect the kind people who have been kind to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka. Moka thanks Alina for saving her and says she has now made new friends, resolving to devote herself to exterminating witches and admitting she is only a little afraid of them now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Riko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Sis = Miss K. Check what Exedra says&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Years ago, Riko spent her childhood with a cheerful older neighbor girl she called &amp;quot;Sis&amp;quot; while her parents worked long hours at their family bento shop. They grew as close as sisters until Sis became engaged to marry someone far away. When Sis&#039;s father suddenly opposed the match despite approving it before, Riko wished upon Kyubey that everyone would give their blessings to the marriage. Her wish worked, and Sis moved away happily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Riko Chiaki#Side Story|Riko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Riko struggles with loneliness waiting alone at home while her parents work overtime. One night, after they call to say they cannot return until after midnight due to a huge order, years of broken promises finally overwhelm her. She snaps, calls them liars who were never there for her like Sis was, and tells them she hates them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko goes Witch hunting to vent her stress but nearly dies against a stronger Witch. In that moment, despair crushes her and she wishes she had never made her wish so Sis would still be there. Tsukasa, a regular at her family&#039;s shop, finds her crying and listens as Riko confides everything about her feelings and what happened with Sis. Speaking from experience, Tsukasa tells her that separation is no excuse for broken contact and recommends she reach out to Sis directly. Riko messages Sis that night before falling asleep exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sis replies promptly. She explains she wanted to contact Riko but left home after arguing with her father and thought a visit would be awkward. She also reveals she was hospitalized to give birth and only discharged that day, inviting Riko to come see her instead. When Riko asks her parents for permission, expecting them to refuse, they apologize sincerely and grant permission for the trip.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Riko visits Sis with her parents. Sis introduces her husband and newborn daughter, hoping Riko will get along with her child just as they once got along. Riko makes a silent promise to be a good sister to this baby and aims to grow into a fine lady, just like Sis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maria&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Maria bids her parents goodbye for the day. Her mother gives her money for dinner, which Maria insists on keeping only a small portion of, and Maria mentions she will be at her part‑time daycare job after school. On her way to school, she runs into two little girls, one of whom attends the daycare where she works.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the daycare, the children swarm Maria with requests. She notices a boy named Shin‑kun looking down and tries to find out what is wrong, but he does not want to talk. Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work. Maria suggests she spend a day with Shin to reconnect, and Shin’s mother agrees. Maria promises to put together a plan by the weekend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Maria’s classmates tease her about being a widow with a love child, and she plays along before explaining she is helping a mother and son from the daycare. Later she presents her weekend plans to Shin’s mother, who is impressed and begins looking forward to the outing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, Maria goes to the park where she knows Shin and his mother should be. She watches as they struggle to connect: Shin wants to play in a fountain, but his mother cannot explain why he should not, and they end up standing awkwardly. Maria pretends to run into them and decides to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to the playground, where Maria encourages Shin to try a tightrope bridge. When he gets nervous, she prompts his mother to take his hand, and together they cross. After lunch, Shin’s mother gets a call from work asking her to come in on her day off. She agrees, and Shin looks heartbroken. Maria offers to watch Shin until dark, and his mother gratefully accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria takes Shin to various places, and he sadly remarks that his mother is too busy for him. Understanding his loneliness, Maria vows to make the day special. At the aquarium she convinces him to see a show he ends up loving. As evening falls, they stop for takoyaki, and Maria explains that his mother tells him not to eat while walking for good reasons. Shin finally understands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shin’s mother appears, explaining work no longer needs her. She admits she has trouble expressing herself, but Shin overhears and hugs her. They both confess they thought the other did not love them. Maria shares that she was often lonely as a child but still loved her parents, and she tells Shin’s mother she does not need to be perfect. Shin shows his mother the souvenir and the last piece of takoyaki he saved for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As darkness falls, Maria walks home alone. She reflects on whether she could ever be a good mother, remembering Kyubey’s revelation that her Soul Gem is her actual soul and her body is merely a vessel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mel&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mel stays home after her reading warns of lethal danger, but Kanagi dismisses her concerns and drags her to school anyway. On the way, a Witch targets only Mel before escaping, and a possessed car then attempts to run her down. She flees west into the Mizuno region, where Yachiyo saves her. Despite Kanagi&#039;s warnings about discrimination from the West, Yachiyo&#039;s kindness puts her at ease, and Mel accepts her invitation to stay. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she requests to join Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kanagi gives permission. From that day, Mel bonds with Mifuyu, Tsuruno, and Momoko as part of her new team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One other day, Mel arrives excitedly with entirely positive readings and offers to read the team&#039;s fortunes. Despite Yachiyo&#039;s skepticism, Mel coaxes her into a session predicting a career breakthrough.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Yachiyo announces with disbelief that she was chosen for a nationwide magazine feature on Kamihama&#039;s cafes. Mifuyu and Momoko then receive positive readings about a matchmaking and exam results.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes. Afterward they visit Mitama, who suggests they train in Endless Mirrors if they plan to remain independent rather than join Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Temari and Mikura commute to school exhausted. Temari stayed up testing a new metal pen, and Mikura correctly guesses she is in modern literature mode.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Temari is distracted thinking about Witch strategies while Mikura worries about Seira, who had fallen asleep in class from exhaustion. Seira joins them, and Temari suggests they create their own space to escape the stress of magical girl life. Seira proposes forming a school club where they can pursue their hobbies freely, and they agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Seira secures an empty classroom as a provisional club room under the name Historical Research Club. On paper they study history, but in reality it becomes their oasis for reading, watching films, and relaxing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the girls are enjoying their club activities, yet Temari still feels unsettled about not knowing her magic. Mikura reflects that they have been following Temari’s suggestions lately—staying independent, creating the club—but says she will mention it if she notices anything. When Mikura asks what Temari is reading, Temari replies she is still on the same author, and Mikura calls her as unpredictable as ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Hotori&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Last part is after the tea drinking moon party&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hotori and her twin Rion prepare for a school camping trip. Hotori gets distracted watching her favorite sentai show, Dragoon Red, and Rion teases her for still liking children’s fantasy. Hotori wants to bring her notebook of heroic quotes, but Rion tells her not to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At camp, Hotori’s group hikes through the forest. She is frightened by insects, and when Rion appears and drives her friends away, Hotori ends up scolded for letting her sister interfere.

** Ikumi explains how in middle school she dreamed of becoming an idol despite lacking talent, while her friend Yumi dreamed of volleyball. They realized they could fulfill each other&#039;s dreams instead. Yumi became a volleyball ace while Ikumi pursued idol training, though she struggled because her natural personality kept slipping through her cutesy act and she failed to gain recognition. Kyubey repeatedly offered her a contract, but she refused because wishing for her dream would mean she never achieved it through hard work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In high school, Ikumi worked at a school-organized maid cafe that gave struggling students performance opportunities.

When the cafe was forced to close due to building eviction, Ikumi grieved alone on the final night. Kyubey appeared and reminded her that her wish didn&#039;t have to be for her own dream. Thinking of how much the cafe meant to her and others who dreamed there, she wished for it to continue running.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her wish came true when the landowner, moved by the final performance, sold the cafe to the school who remodeled and reopened it. Later, while fighting a witch, Ikumi was saved by another magical girl who turned out to be Yumi. Yumi revealed she had wished for someone to recognize Ikumi&#039;s talents and give her an idol chance. The two teamed up and spent a happy year together hunting witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mifuyu explained about witches and the Wings of Magius, who aimed to liberate magical girls from this fate. Ikumi immediately joined, grateful for Yumi&#039;s healing and hating the thought of losing her dream or becoming a witch. Yumi eventually joined too, and Mifuyu introduced them as Black Feathers to Ryo, who recognized Ikumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one.

* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is flooded with more memories of her other self preparing for Walpurgisnacht with allies. She wonders if there might be a real possibility for salvation in this timeline, where no one has to be sacrificed. However, she believes it has nothing to do with her. She breaks out of the labyrinth and the dream ends. Kyubey asks if she was curious about what happened to her other self. Homura says it does not matter; she believes in Madoka&#039;s words that her efforts will not be in vain. A new universe is about to be born, and Homura must protect it for Madoka&#039;s sake. Kyubey states they will both forget Madoka, but Homura is determined to never forget her.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new universe where Witches do not exist, Kyoko is surprised to find Sayaka has disappeared. Mami explains the Law of Cycles causes Magical Girls to disappear when they lose hope. Homura cries as she remembers Madoka, but neither Mami nor Kyoko know who Madoka is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka spend the day together in Kamihama, enjoying each other’s company until they encounter Ria Ami, a model and magical girl who has already defeated the witch they were tracking. Ria invites them to tea and later takes them to the fashion district, where she notices that Homura’s attention never leaves Madoka. Admitting her jealousy, Ria says she wishes someone would look at her the same way, and Homura replies that she will protect Madoka. After Ria departs, Homura thinks that even if Madoka does not realize how cool she is, she will still save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Homura steals weapons from a group called the Soukaihou using her time stop, but she is caught afterward by Meiyui Chun, a magical girl affiliated with the group. Instead of punishing her, Meiyui thanks her for taking weapons that belonged to troublemakers and invites Homura to share mapo tofu. Over the meal, Meiyui learns Homura fights to protect someone precious to her and says she understands, offering her support and suggesting the spicy dish whenever the burden becomes too painful to bear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Homura is practicing her shooting alone when Natsuki Utsuho, a magical girl who cheers for others, offers to encourage her. Natsuki deduces Homura’s time stop ability and gives advice that significantly improves her aim. When Natsuki suggests Homura ask Mami to coach her, Homura calls, and Mami arrives within an hour. Mami uses her ribbons to move within Homura’s time stop during a sparring match, praising her rapid progress afterward. Homura agrees to return to Mitakihara with Mami, reflecting that she will keep moving forward to become a magical girl capable of protecting Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Sayaka arrives in Kamihama City to go shopping with Kyosuke Kamijou, though she insists it is not a date. When she hears a scream, she runs toward it and discovers Hinano Miyako at an empty elementary school. Hinano explains she was bumped on the head while setting up the chemistry lab, and Sayaka decides to help investigate. They find the culprit was a baseball that flew through the window from the baseball club practicing outside. Hinano returns the ball to a child and gives Sayaka a perfume she made, wishing her good luck on her date despite Sayaka&#039;s protests.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later in the shopping district, Emiri Kisaki approaches Sayaka, drawn by the perfume. After realizing Sayaka is not Hinano, Emiri offers to coordinate her wardrobe, claiming to be the &amp;quot;Cutest in the World.&amp;quot; Sayaka learns Emiri is also a magical girl but remains unsatisfied with the outfit suggestions, explaining the person she likes does not care about appearances. Emiri takes her to the top of a tower, where they view the city at night. Sayaka thanks her before heading to the train station, reflecting that her love is supported by the magical girls of Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the outing with Kyosuke arrives. After buying a CD, Kyosuke messages that his train is delayed. Sayaka fights a Witch she senses and meets Kokoro Awane, defeating it together. With time to spare, Kokoro invites her for tea. Sayaka shares that she became a magical girl to heal someone she loves, and Kokoro reveals she wished to bring her family together. Though problems remain, Kokoro believes she can unite them through her own power, and Sayaka finds strength in her words. When Kyosuke is about to arrive, Kokoro encourages her, and Sayaka runs to the station, feeling it will be a good day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day in Kamihama, Mami saves Kanoko Yayoi from familiars, and Kanoko explains her dream is to become a fashion designer.

* On another day, after Mami fights off familiars, Nanaka Tokiwa confronts her, having heard rumors about the strongest Magical Girl from Mitakihara. Nanaka wants to team up or fight her, and Akira Shinobu arrives, also eager to challenge Mami based on exaggerated rumors. Mami agrees to fight them on one condition: they have tea with her first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Ultimate&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart. She also finds Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, who were never supposed to become magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Panicking because she cannot prevent magical girls from becoming witches in this universe, Madoka investigates. She discovers the source blocking her intervention originated when the Holy Quintet first visited Kamihama, and she observes how Touka and Nemu—fated to die in every other universe—are alive and plotting with the Magius to lure Walpurgis Night to hatch Eve. Madoka reflects that their plan, if successful, would achieve what she herself accomplished. Unsure whether to intervene, she decides to investigate further and chooses Iroha as her next focal point, since this is the only universe where Iroha contracted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka observes Iroha’s past and finds the singular difference: on a normal day, Iroha took her usual shortcut but accidentally kicked a small pebble, nearly making her late. This tiny butterfly effect led to Iroha contracting and Ui, Nemu, and Touka surviving, derailing the universe’s fate. Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka decides not to interfere, fearing a clash that could destroy the universe. However, she laments that she may have no choice but to trample Iroha’s wish if this universe, now a singularity, threatens the stability of all other universes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* After contracting with Kyubey, Oriko foresees Madoka becoming Kriemhild Gretchen and ending the world. To prevent this, she begins manipulating events and people around her. She uses Yuma Chitose as a distraction to keep Kyubey away from Madoka, then later convinces Yuma to contract by claiming Kyoko is in danger. Oriko also recruits Kirika Kure as her pawn. When Kirika kills another magical girl, Oriko decides to use the murders to further distract Kyubey from Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Oriko Mikuni in Magia Record#Side Story|Oriko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Oriko has another vision revealing that Madoka is not in Mitakihara but somewhere else entirely. She witnesses a spatial distortion connecting Mitakihara to Kamihama City and begins to suspect Kamihama might hold the key to changing the future. Oriko sends Kirika to Kamihama under the pretense of buying tea, instructing her to gather information from Mami and other magical girls there. She then takes Yuma to Kamihama herself, leaving her inside a witch barrier knowing Kyoko will come to rescue her. While exploring Kamihama for answers, Oriko nearly dies inside a powerful witch barrier and realizes she needs Kirika&#039;s help to continue. Kirika eventually returns home safely, reporting that Mami and Kyoko are also investigating Kamihama and that the city has an unusually high number of witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kyoko accidentally destroys her shopping bag, enraging Kirika. Shizuku Hozumi intervenes, allowing Mami and Kyoko to escape through a portal.

Homura does not, so Madoka invites her to a kimono‑dressing class she found, saying she wanted the two of them to dress up with Sayaka but lacked the courage to go alone. Homura agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class, the instructor dresses them first; Madoka thinks Homura looks beautiful, and Homura calls Madoka cute. When the actual lesson begins, Madoka struggles badly and trips, while Homura learns quickly enough that the instructor says she will have no trouble. Madoka takes a break outside, feeling useless. Sayaka happens by and asks why she wanted to dress up in the first place - to have fun. Sayaka tells her not to overthink; even if she makes mistakes, she will still have the memories. Encouraged, Madoka returns and finally manages to dress herself after another trip.&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year’s Day, both have their formal wear put on at a store. They joke that the class was interesting but not very useful for the real occasion. They take lots of pictures to show Sayaka, then wish each other a happy new year and go to Mizuna Shrine to draw fortunes. Madoka hopes everyone has a lucky year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka find themselves trapped in a strange dream—a life-sized board game set across Kamihama City. They must reach the goal by following the game&#039;s rules. There are no Familiars or attempts to harm them, so Homura suspects it is accidental mischief rather than a trap. They roll dice to move between squares and complete missions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Kimono)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;First Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They arrive at a shopping center. The mission is to deliver lost items from the New Year&#039;s sale to the Information Desk. They meet Aimi, who found a plain notebook with no name. Aimi worries it is someone&#039;s secret fantasy diary and does not want to read it. They take it to the Information Desk and complete the mission. Aimi mentions she is shopping for materials to knit a scarf or gloves for a boy named Hayato.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** They roll again and move to a new square. The mission is to reunite two sisters who failed to meet. They find Tsukasa waiting for her twin Tsukuyo. Tsukuyo forgot her phone and cannot remember the meeting spot. Madoka and Homura offer to find Tsukuyo. They find her, but Tsukasa has wandered off while waiting. The sisters fail to meet, and Homura and Madoka lose three turns. They eventually reach the Mizuna Shrine goal, but the game says they have not met the goal conditions and sends them back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Second Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They are back at the beginning, wearing their kimonos. They see their past selves from the first loop. The same mission appears—reunite the twins. They meet Tsukasa again, who remembers them from before and is confused by their kimono change. Madoka tells Tsukasa where Tsukuyo is, but Tsukasa runs off before Madoka can explain she should wait. They try to find Tsukasa but fail. The mission fails again, and they are sent back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Third Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes: buy a lucky bag costing one million Magica. They search for a store and take a break at a cafe. They see Ria being interviewed and overhear a boy named Hayato saying he needs a warmer scarf. They find Kokoro and Masara, who lead them to a stationery lucky bag. Kokoro mentions Tsukasa is still looking for Tsukuyo. Madoka wants to help Tsukasa, and Homura agrees. They find Tsukuyo, who has been wandering and dropped something important. They learn Tsukuyo dropped her exchange diary with Tsukasa—the same notebook Aimi found. The mission completes, but they are sent back to the start again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes again: help a child who lost something. They find Tsukuyo waiting. She dropped the exchange diary. Homura and Madoka take her to the Information Desk to reclaim it. Madoka remembers Tsukasa was last seen near a specific area. They wait there and finally reunite the twins. They also tell Aimi that Hayato wants a warm scarf. Everyone ends up happy. Homura and Madoka reach the goal without regrets. Homura reflects that she does not want the dream to last longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka learns the meaning of &amp;quot;When winter comes, spring isn&#039;t far behind&amp;quot; at the end of December. Just before New Year&#039;s Eve, Madoka asks if anyone has plans for the holiday. Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko and Nagisa meet the teacher and children at the park. The kids immediately recognize Kyoko, so the pair double down on the movie lie. The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the performance, Kyoko and Sayaka use quick‑change costumes while Nagisa sneaks discarded clothes off set. The children are awed by the glowing weapons and effects, explained with lighting tricks and soap bubbles. After the class leaves, the group reviews the footage and decides to keep a copy. Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko returns the props to Sayuki, then visits an aquarium to pass time. As she leaves, she spots the same kindergarteners, detects a witch, and rushes to fight it. She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She is hunting for discounted Valentine&#039;s chocolate. She visits Sugar Plum but finds the chocolate coins sold out. She runs into Kyoko. They keep encountering each other at multiple stores and realize they are both after the same Valentine&#039;s Day exclusive Pink Tapir chocolate coins. They form an alliance to share information and split the chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe (Valentine)#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Valentine Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Pink Tapir station store, a clerk informs them the sale has moved to a new outlet location and gives them a map. On the way, a delivery truck carrying the chocolate coins is possessed by a Witch&#039;s Kiss and goes on a rampage. Nagisa and Kyoko chase it, jump onto the truck, and enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Nagisa uses her forbidden technique to defeat the Witch. The truck and other vehicles are unharmed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the outlet store and buy the chocolate coins. Nagisa reflects on her memory of eating Pink Tapir chocolate coins for the first time at a hospital charity event when her mother was sick. She wonders if this universe&#039;s Nagisa would have had the same experience. She and Kyoko hurry to Mami&#039;s chocolate party. Kyoko reveals she bought a chocolate cake from Sugar Plum for everyone. Nagisa shares her pink chocolate coins. Mami is happy they are getting along. The next day, the chocolate hunt continues. At the outlet store, Ms. Saotome buys chocolate coins for a hospital charity event, continuing the tradition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Ria, Mayu, and Manaka give the sisters their rented beach space, and the sisters end up spending the day with Team Yachiyo in a water pistol shooting match. They have more fun than they expected, but Tsukuyo suffers a heat stroke and is cared for by the group after Tsukasa panics. When Tsukasa tries to repay the favor, Yachiyo jokes that she should quit the Wings of Magius, then smiles when Tsukasa refuses as expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Their final opponents are Miyako, Kokoro, Masara, and Ren, with Ren proving surprisingly athletic. Miyako’s team wins after Yachiyo avoids stepping on a rare hermit crab, but everyone agrees Tsukasa has repaid her debt, and the sisters admit they had a wonderful time. They end the day drinking juice Yachiyo bought for them and buying matching crescent moon accessories in different colors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo announces that everyone must complete ten pages of homework per subject per day before they can play.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rena &amp;amp; Kaede (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena negotiates with Yachiyo: if they can finish all three days&#039; worth of homework in one day, they can play at the beach tomorrow. Everyone agrees. They study hard together. Rena suggests a reward system to stay motivated. They shout encouragement like at an idol concert. Yachiyo and Momoko help with difficult problems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo goes shopping alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They browse swimsuits, but Mitama insists on choosing thoughtfully rather than buying on a whim. They separate briefly, and Mitama runs into Mikage, deflecting questions about what she’s doing.

Instead of buying swimsuits, Mitama brings Momoko back for an adjustment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On contest day, Mitama and Momoko play on the beach. They learn the contest requires performing a shared beach memory with chemistry.

** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They win by performing the events of the day instead of their planned story. Rena claims the stuffed bunny, and Mikage gets the Candy World tickets, immediately inviting Mitama. Apologies are exchanged, and the others ask for no more secrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, while Mitama and Momoko clean up, Rena and Kaede take Mikage to get drinks. A girl from Mitama’s past confronts her: the one Mitama accidentally shoved down the stairs years ago. A crowd gathers, muttering rumors, but Momoko defends Mitama and the crowd disperses. The girl realizes it was an accident and offers to help clear Mitama’s name, but Mitama declines, saying she no longer needs it because she has someone who believes in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka arrives at a resort with her friends, carrying her mother’s challenge to do something she can only do now. After rescuing an old woman’s hat from the sea, she learns the hat was a gift from the woman’s daughter, Himari.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group spends the day swimming, building a sandcastle, and splitting into smaller activities. While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The girls complete the rally together, with the final photo taken at a sunflower field. That evening, a storm cancels the flower tour, but the photographer invites them to meet the next morning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the photographer leads them to a hidden pond where barringtonia blossoms float. She reveals this was the special place she and Himari had planned to visit. Madoka recognizes Himari’s name and, with her friends’ help, finds the old woman from the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The old woman and the photographer meet; the photographer confesses her guilt over their childhood fight, but the woman explains Himari never mentioned any quarrel—her illness suddenly worsened that day. The two women reconcile, and both thank Madoka for bringing them together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond. Madoka reflects that the thing she could only do here was to reunite the two women and give them peace. Her friends call her for one last swim, and she runs off to join them, already thinking of returning to the island someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story and Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
It has two versions I made, assimilate them if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomuradsSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At registration, Mitama announces all participants must wear swimwear, offering to transform their outfits for free. Homura is surprisingly excited, and Sayaka gets roped into wearing a ridiculous mushroom‑mermaid costume designed by Kanoko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many familiar magical girls attend as participants or catering staff. Hazuki reveals her hatred of worms, Konoha faints from watching bait wriggle, and various mishaps begin piling up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka in her costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The non‑waterproof suit causes Sayaka to be electrocuted by its built‑in fan, but her Doppel activates and saves her. The Doppel drags Yachiyo into the water, and Yachiyo begins water‑skiing using her fishing rod while being pulled around.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura manages to fish up the Doppel and wins the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other&#039;s backs. Homura happily agrees, ending the day on a warm note.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Homura confronts her Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying summer and relying on Madoka’s kindness. The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurads&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura visit a seaside villa on the outskirts of Kamihama. They meet Felicia and her friends briefly. After parting ways, they decide to visit an aquarium. They participate in an accessory-making workshop using star sand. Inside the aquarium, they meet Ashley, an exchange student from the United States, and Riko. Ashley recognizes them as Magical Girls from Mitakihara because she encountered their copies in Endless Mirrors. They chat and learn Ashley is making videos about kawaii things in Japan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Waverider)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After parting ways with Ashley and Riko, Sayaka wants to visit a CD store. She hopes to find rare CDs for Kyosuke. At the store, she reaches for the same CD as a woman. They discover they both use notepads to track CDs. The woman is Takamine&#039;s wife—Takamine was a violinist who passed away. She collects his recordings to show her daughter. They exchange contact information. Sayaka mentions the upcoming flea market.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They eat lunch and shaved ice. Ashley records their conversation. Madoka and Homura leave early for Witch patrol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka&#039;s group meets Takamine&#039;s wife and daughter. A strong wind blows the daughter&#039;s hat into the ocean. Sayaka and Kyoko transform into swimsuits and ride a surfboard to retrieve it, using Nagisa&#039;s floaty as a distraction. The hat is recovered. Takamine&#039;s wife realizes she lost her notepad. Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while waiting, Nagisa and Riko play with water guns. Sayaka&#039;s group relaxes on the beach. Madoka and Homura find Sayaka&#039;s copy in Mirrors. The copy lures them into a trap, but they manage to get the CD list from her and escape. They send it to Sayaka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring. They plan for future fights: Sayaka will handle Familiars, Madoka and Homura will immobilize the Witch, and Mami will finish it off. Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the team encounters a paramedic and a girl under a Witch&#039;s influence. They enter the Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. The paramedic wakes up and thanks them and the team slips away quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The group swims, then Kyoko dominates the buffet. They discover a cliff diving spot, where Sayaka, Mami, and Kyoko take turns jumping while Madoka and Homura watch. They agree to return the day after next, since Madoka is busy the following day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ui improves, but a rip current nearly sweeps her away; Kyoko rescues her. Moved by Ui’s determination, Kyoko keeps training her until sunset, and Ui finally masters swimming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully. Later, Kyoko visits Mitama to revert her outfit, explaining she wants to learn swimming properly rather than relying on magic. She trades a Grief Seed for money to buy ramune as payment for a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Eternal Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Momoko Togame (Sanctified)#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;

===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi meet again. Mitama shares her realization: her grief has ended. She now wants to make amends and carve a new future for Kamihama. They discuss ideas for the student conference. Kanagi suggests a sports festival. Mitama suggests a festival with food stalls. They joke about romance and love interests. Mitama feels lighter and ready to move forward. She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at the Wings of Magius, Alina asks Nemu to create a rumor for her. She will let it grow, then take it into herself and use it to achieve her greatest goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Touka and Nemu separately sneak to Ui’s room to leave apology notes. They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They first visit Mitama’s shop, where they meet Maria and Konomi. Mikage hands out sweets, crediting Lavi’s teaching, and Mitama permits them to visit the Mikazuki girls after receiving a cake. At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the real world, Tsuruno gives gelato to Ui and Felicia. Ui is absorbed in playing a game called &amp;quot;Little Vacation&amp;quot; on Tsuruno&#039;s phone. The game follows Tsuruno and Felicia as Reindeer Santas traveling to reach the End of the World and the Wishing Star.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia (Special Delivery)#Side Story|Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno uses the Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a hint: &amp;quot;The key is something you don&#039;t know the importance of until it&#039;s gone. This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The girls encourage Tsuruno and Felicia to leave since they were not originally trapped. Tsuruno and Felicia walk out easily. They promise to return once they find a way to free everyone. They leave, having failed to deliver smiles for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Town of Miraculous ☆ Prestidigitations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the next town. They meet Mitama, a magician performing tricks, and twins Rion and Hotori. Mitama attempts to teleport Hotori but accidentally duplicates her. There are now two Hotoris. Tsuruno and Felicia try to help. The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win. The duplicates are left behind. The single Tsuruno who lost is left alone without Reindeer-san #2 or the Okamochi Box. She decides to continue traveling anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; The three Tsurunos reunite and discuss the hints from the Okamochi Box. They realize &amp;quot;three heads are better than one&amp;quot; refers to them working together to solve the Maze Town puzzle. They also realize the key in Maze Town was a &amp;quot;smile&amp;quot;—something Ren had lost along the way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game.

===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents.

** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Check on the days again to make sure how many days pass. It&#039;s possible it&#039;s all just one day&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami finds herself in a strange white fog, speaking with two other versions of herself. Holy Mami claims she has learned the truth about magical girls from Alina Gray and Touka Satomi and has found a way to save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami has tea with Touka and Alina at a house rented for her by Touka. Mami explains she has not returned to Mitakihara because her priority is releasing magical girls. Touka and Alina offer to lecture her on what she needs to study. Alina grows disturbingly excited discussing van Gogh&#039;s Sunflowers, and Touka lectures at length on mathematics until Alina interrupts. Mami reassures them she will ask for help when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina receives a call from the Amane sisters requesting help with a Witch. Touka asks Mami to assist, explaining she has a lecture to give at noon to recruit skilled magical girls. Mami agrees, reflecting that releasing magical girls requires Grief Seeds, protecting Rumors, and raising Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane waiting for her. They explain the Witch has moved and the Black Feathers are monitoring it. A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren plan for their friends’ Christmas party a week away and promise to spend Christmas Eve together. While looking at options in a magazine, they cannot decide on a place. Ren buys the magazine to think it over, privately hoping to choose somewhere that will make Rika happy, though she doubts whether she truly belongs beside her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ren visits Emiri’s consultation room but finds only Akira and Ria Ami. She explains her dilemma, and Ria takes her around town to evaluate possible locations. They rule out a restaurant, an amusement park, and a romantic cafe, eventually settling on the Minagi Aquarium. Ria is surprised to learn Ren is planning an outing with Rika, not a boyfriend, but Ren leaves feeling confident in her choice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Christmas Eve, Rika attends a party with her school friends. When she mentions she will spend Christmas Eve at the aquarium with a friend, her friends press to join, but Rika refuses. She advises them not to look for boyfriends just to avoid being alone. Later, while walking with her friends, Rika spots Ren chasing after Aimi Eri. She follows and finds Ren comforting Aimi over a misunderstanding involving a boy; the situation resolves without trouble.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Ren waits for Rika, who messages that she overslept with a fever. Ren worries Rika became sick chasing after her the day before. Before she can reply, Aimi finds her, and they go shopping together. Aimi encourages Ren to visit Rika instead of staying apart. Ren goes to Rika’s house, knocks on her window, and insists they spend Christmas together there so Rika can rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They exchange gifts: Ren gives Rika scented candles, having noticed Rika’s interest from a sticky note, and Rika gives Ren a glass candlestick. Rika hopes they can visit the aquarium another time, and Ren leaves happy to have shared Christmas with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, assimilate them if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumor Tsuruno begins designing the park, adding a merry-go-round, roller coaster, spa, shops, and a cafe. The mascots warn that once the park is complete, she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world. Rumor Tsuruno claims no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she imagines comfort foods with hot pot as the main star, she is reminded of Mikazuki Villa. She brushes it off and completes the park. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Uwasa Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana looks at a Mr. Purrs-a-lot picture book and feels down. Ui notices and asks what is wrong. Sana admits she wants to become a picture book author to help people who are suffering like she once was. She has many ideas but does not know how to write them. Ui encourages her. Sana says she is starting from zero and needs to practice writing. Ui suggests she settle on one main idea. Sana recalls a story about the Rice God from Yachiyo and decides to write a practice story about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana writes a story about the Rice God punishing Felicia for not finishing her rice. Ui enjoys it. Sana realizes she also needs to entertain readers while conveying her message. She decides her first picture book theme will be &amp;quot;friends.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana and Ui discuss the main character. Sana models her after Ai, the Uwasa of the Anonymous A.I. She names the heroine Aoi. Sana writes the first part of the story: Aoi leaves the &amp;quot;Land of Beginnings&amp;quot; and arrives at the &amp;quot;Land of Blessings,&amp;quot; where residents constantly fight. Aoi suggests a picnic to help them understand each other. The residents grow closer. Ui enjoys the story. Sana reveals she wants to leave behind proof of Ai&#039;s existence before she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana asks Nemu for permission to use a character modelled after Ai in her picture book. Nemu agrees, saying she is happy Sana wishes to preserve Ai. Nemu advises Sana on how to become a published author: enter contests or approach publishers directly. Sana becomes discouraged when she realizes she would have to interact with people who cannot see her. She leaves feeling hopeless.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana wanders alone, feeling invisible. She helps a girl find a lost ring but is not noticed. She thinks her dream is impossible. Tsuruno, Felicia, and Ui find her, worried because she was not answering calls. Iroha and Yachiyo also arrive. Nemu calls and suggests Sana could use an agent to communicate with publishers, avoiding direct meetings. Sana regains her resolve. Yachiyo tells her not to give up on her dream. Iroha and the others promise to support her. Sana realizes she has a family to help her get back up.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana finishes her first picture book, &amp;quot;A Small Encounter.&amp;quot; The story follows Shana, an invisible girl who is found by Aoi and makes her first friend. Sana decides to show it to everyone and get their thoughts. She promises to keep persevering for Ai&#039;s sake and for everyone who supports her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 1 (Flashback/Reflection)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi wakes from a nap and remembers the dream she had when fused with the Kimochi. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words that helped her realize she had not truly given up. Iroha told her that those who have given up do not fight, and that Lavi came to Kamihama because she still wanted to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro (Kimochi)#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects on the hope she once held—a daydream of a peaceful life where magical girls are understood. In that dream, she helped her mother, tended fields with her grandfather, watched Urara&#039;s street performances, and attended exhibitions with Shirogane. She encountered other magical girls: Asahi, Haitani, Kuroda, Urara, and Alexandra. They fought witches together and enjoyed everyday moments. Lavi realized she had locked away this hope because remembering it was painful. But now, through her connection with Iroha and her time with Nayuta, she has begun to see the future again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 2 (Daydream/Desired Future)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi dreams of a happy future where the Automatic Purification System has spread and peace has come. She, Nayuta, and Mikage go on a trip to Yukuni. They encounter many acquaintances: Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and Mikazuki Villa. Due to a scheduling mistake, everyone arrives at the same inn on the same day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** There is not enough premium beef for dinner. The groups compete in hot spring table tennis, karaoke, and pillow fights to decide who gets the meat. Yuna cheats in table tennis and is disqualified. The karaoke machine is outdated. The pillow fight becomes chaotic. Asahi saves the day with gibier meat. Everyone shares the meal and enjoys the evening together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects that this bustling, noisy future is unlike her usual self, but she realizes she has been yearning for it deep down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 3 (Reality/Current Time)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi teaches Nayuta cooking. They discuss their futures: Nayuta wants to study magical girls at a university different from her father&#039;s. Lavi wants to help at her family&#039;s inn while spreading magical girl activities. They plan a trip with Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Upon arriving at Cradle of the Earth in Yukuni, they encounter Mikazuki Villa, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and the Tokime Clan—just as in Lavi&#039;s dream. There is again not enough meat for dinner. Lavi is overwhelmed but also excited. She realizes that even if the past cannot be undone, they can move forward together and create a bright future. She announces they will compete over the meat and create a new future with all of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Yachiyo wakes at Mikazuki Villa and briefly senses Iroha&#039;s magical signature before it disappears.

Need to re-check this. It may already be done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane complain about being overworked as guardians of a Rumor and fear the anger of Touka, Alina, and Nemu. They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - A Taste of Hospitality|A Taste of Hospitality]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko and Ashley help Mitama film a video about her Coordinator services, whre she explains that she adjusts Soul Gems to draw out hidden potential, that she sees memories during adjustments but keeps them confidential, and that she also sells items for Magical Girls. As payment for the video, Riko gives Mitama an origami dog (Mameji) and Ashley gives her blue candy from her home, both of which Mitama puts in a box.&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, Mitama receives many gifts from Magical Girls, including Kokoro, Reira, Mito, Felicia, Ayame, Kako, Yachiyo, Karin, Himika, Rika and Emiri, the last of whom says that when people share their favorite things, it means they want to share what they love with Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama hums happily, which Momoko and Kanagi notice and feel a bad omen. Mitama announces that she wants to share what she loves with everyone and that she plans a party with food that she will cook. She asks Momoko and Kanagi to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;

Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;

Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 13th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mitama is away from her shop, but Tsuruno is there, using the kitchen to make chocolate bonbons with a friend. She plans to surprise everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 14th:&#039;&#039;&#039; On Valentine&#039;s Day, Tsuruno gives beautifully wrapped chocolates to Iroha, Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana and Ui at Mikazuki Villa. Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rise of the Waning Moon===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Rise of the Waning Moon|Rise of the Waning Moon]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day during lunch break, Kanagi goes to Himika’s classroom, telling her she just wanted to see her face, which Himika finds strange.&lt;br /&gt;
** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

* Hinano and Emiri attend a chemistry event. Hinano is excited to see a chemist who reminds her of the woman she idolized as a child—a tall, long-legged lady who taught fun chemistry experiments. Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;

The relative needs help cleaning the hotel pool because the usual staff are sick. Yachiyo hesitates due to her modeling schedule. The girls offer to help. Yachiyo calls back and confirms they will come.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group arrives at the hotel and Yachiyo&#039;s relative, an older woman, greets them warmly. She says she used to hang out with Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river. Tsuruno and Felicia compete to see who can clean faster, inventing names for their techniques. Yachiyo scolds them for being inefficient. They eventually work together.&lt;br /&gt;

Tsuruno volunteers the group to help until the staff arrives. Yachiyo worries they might cause trouble, but Iroha, Ui, and Sana want to try. They agree to help. Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the next day, the group arrives at the pool for opening day. Yachiyo handles reception. The ticket scanner malfunctions and a line forms. Mitama appears—she had plans with Iroha that were canceled. She offers to help and fixes the scanner by hitting it. The staff member returns and takes over.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama notices Yachiyo has something on her mind and suggests she talk to someone she trusts. Iroha later asks Yachiyo to help with a crowded lunch area. Ui is taking orders with Sana&#039;s invisible help making drinks.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral. Yachiyo admits she was worried about everyone but sees they are doing fine. Iroha tells Yachiyo it is okay to worry because she cares, and they can solve problems together. Iroha notices Yachiyo has been down and offers to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
** A foam machine malfunctions, spewing foam everywhere. A guest slips and falls. The group splits up to clean the foam and help guests. Mitama fixes the machine with a whack. The support staff arrives. The girls finally have time to enjoy the pool.&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models. She does not know what to post and is shy about taking selfies. Iroha suggests posting photos of herself and takes pictures of Yachiyo on a float with the sunset. Yachiyo is embarrassed but agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Tsuruno want a turn on the float. Everyone climbs on, and Mitama takes a group photo just as they all fall into the water. Iroha loves the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the pool photos are popular online. Yachiyo&#039;s manager says going to the pool was a good move. Yachiyo thanks Iroha and says she might take her up on being her photographer again. She sends the group photo to everyone. Iroha says the photo may not be &amp;quot;social media-worthy&amp;quot; but it captures who they are. They agree to go back to the pool again—summer is just getting started.&lt;br /&gt;

Tsukuyo researches the costs of a two-person household and is shocked by how expensive it is.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo falls asleep while daydreaming about living with Tsukasa. Her grandmother finds her fantasy budget notebook and accuses her of planning to run away with a boy. Her training hours are increased, and her smartphone is confiscated. Tsukuyo is unable to contact Tsukasa. She runs away and ends up at the shrine, but Tsukasa is at school.&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback (Before Magical Girl). Tsukuyo is overworked with club activities and training. She is exhausted and collapses. She wakes up in the hospital with her sister beside her. Tsukuyo remembers how she first met Tsukasa. She was playing her flute at the shrine when she saw a girl who looked just like her. They discovered they were twins, separated at birth. They became close and talked openly with each other for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo too formal and uptight, while Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukuyo was devastated. She received a harsh message from her grandmother, punishing her for being absent without permission. She broke down crying, saying she was not a puppet for her grandmother to order around.&lt;br /&gt;

* Several days later, Tsukasa tells Tsukuyo she does not know the details of how the Magius intend to save them. She shares the full ending of the story they studied—the couple takes their own lives because they fear their love will fade. Tsukasa suggests they do the same. Tsukuyo is horrified but realizes they have no other way out.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night they decide to die, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa meet at the shrine. They decide to destroy their Soul Gems together. They hold hands and count to three. Mifuyu arrives in time to stop them.

&lt;br /&gt;
* (Return to the present) Tsukuyo reflects on how much has happened. She knows she must always be there to support Tsukasa, who can be unpredictable. She dreams of their future together—a happy ending where they live together, free from family, regional disputes, and Magical Girls. She knows it may be a long way off, but as long as she has Tsukasa, she believes they will get their happy ending.&lt;br /&gt;

* Kako is 13 years old. Her parents run Natsume Books, a used bookstore. Books are a huge part of her life. One day, she sees Nanaka loitering by the mailbox, looking distressed. Nanaka drops a letter in the mailbox and runs off. She tells Kako to read the letter. Kako remembers the words &amp;quot;Kill her&amp;quot; and wonders why.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako recalls her past. Her family was not wealthy, but they were happy. Her father recommended books, and her mother helped her study. Then tragedy struck. A riot over land grabs broke out. Harassment of those who objected got worse. Discord grew within the community and even within their home. Her father was wound tight. Then their house was set on fire. Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
** She met a girl named &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; N told Kako who was responsible and what she needed to do to destroy them. Kako clung to her. She later learned N was manipulative and saw others as pawns. Kako hates N and wants revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found herself in a Labyrinth. Nanaka fought off Familiars but was overwhelmed. Kyubey offered Kako the chance to become a Magical Girl. Nanaka told Kako through telepathy to decide for herself what she wanted. Kako realized she hated feeling helpless. She wished to see her family smiling again and to get Natsume Books back. She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kako learned Nanaka faked her struggle to entrap her into making the wish. Nanaka had pulled this trick on others to use them as pawns. Kako could not forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako and Nanaka fought Witches together. Nanaka encouraged Kako and told her she was better suited to being a Magical Girl than Nanaka was. Kako wanted to get stronger. Nanaka wrote a letter confessing her deception and asking Kako to kill her. Kako made up her mind to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka. She returned it unopened, saying it seemed wrong to read something Nanaka only sent by accident. Nanaka smiled and said Kako was dazzling. She said she would try to tell Kako her feelings in person someday.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako thinks Nanaka overestimates her, but she is no longer as scared and helpless as she used to be. She is a Magical Girl who protects the city by Nanaka&#039;s side.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

* A few days later, Rena calls Himika. She saw the Baby Bunny pouch in a crane game at an arcade. Himika, Kako, Ayame, Rena, and Kaede go to the arcade. The pouch is in the replenishment case, meaning Himika must win all the Mocha Bunnies already out to reach it. Himika decides to use a strategy but is short on money.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika observes other players to learn techniques, calling it &amp;quot;crane training.&amp;quot; She strategizes to create an avalanche by knocking down piles of plushies.

Rika messages her to join everyone for snacks. Ren goes to meet them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren finishes her bear story. The gatekeeper asks the bear cub if she has any regrets. The bear cub says yes.

The bear cub does not say goodbye because she knows she will see the Spirit of Light again someday in the World of Light. Ren realizes the bear cub is reborn, just like she was when she met Rika and her friends. She can live in a world full of color.&lt;br /&gt;

They decided on a third wish: to have everyone at Azalea House forget they were ever there. They left the orphanage and started living together. Ayame remembers Konoha&#039;s promise that they would always be together. She reflects on her conflict with Konoha over her friendship with Kako. She wishes the Director could tell her what to do.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame wakes up at Kako&#039;s relatives&#039; house. Konoha has arrived. She found Ayame by asking Nanaka to track Kako&#039;s location. Ayame refuses to go home, saying Konoha has been stifling her. She promises to tell Konoha where she is next time. Konoha apologizes. She did not realize how her words were making Ayame feel. She promises to talk things through with Hazuki and Ayame. Kako is relieved. Ayame treasures the memory of her adventure. She promises never to forget it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Masara Kagami&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Flame Kindled in the Vastness===&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara Kagami reflects on her life. After becoming a Magical Girl, not much felt dramatically different. But encounters and experiences since have changed her. She thinks her dull and pointless life has just gotten a little more colorful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara finds the world boring. She is good at swimming but lacks passion. Kyubey appears and offers her any wish. She wishes for a load of money and becomes a Magical Girl. She fights Witches, and the excitement fades quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara meets Kokoro Awane in a Labyrinth. Kokoro is uncomfortable with Masara&#039;s reckless fighting and tells her to protect herself more. Masara says she does not care if she dies. Kokoro says her family would care. Masara questions why Kokoro blames herself for her family&#039;s problems. Kokoro asks if they can stick together. Masara agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a Witch hunt, they&#039;re attacked by a Witch and Masara takes a hit to protect Kokoro. She gets a scar. She starts avoiding Kokoro because she does not understand her feelings. Mitama explains that Masara fears seeing Kokoro get hurt, so she avoids her to prevent that pain. Masara realizes she fears losing Kokoro, so they reconcile.&lt;br /&gt;
* The swim club announces the relay team. Masara is chosen but declines, saying she is not good at team sports. Koshino, who has always been second to Masara, is chosen as her replacement. Koshino vows to beat Masara&#039;s record.&lt;br /&gt;
* While Kokoro and Masara go on patrol, they see Koshino training alone after school hours. Koshino tells Masara she beat her personal record. Masara is puzzled by Koshino&#039;s passion.&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Masara passes Koshino training again. They start talking about her times regularly. Kokoro notes that Koshino will never catch up to Masara&#039;s times. Masara wonders what drives Koshino.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days before the competition, Koshino beats Masara&#039;s record once. The swim club captain praises her. Masara feels something but cannot identify it. She is not annoyed. She does not know what she feels.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day before the competition, Koshino has an accident and cannot compete. Masara agrees to take her place. She is surprised by her own motivation. Kokoro notices the change.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the competition, Masara swims well. Her team finishes second, but she was in the lead when passing the baton. Koshino comes to watch and thanks Masara for doing the race for her. Kokoro says Masara has changed. Masara decides she wants to keep swimming a while longer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika Ayano&#039;s Heartphial Story: Haunting Love, Haunting Mistake===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika Ayano reflects on her life. She does not want to feel like she became a Magical Girl for nothing. She got to see what dating is like and made loads of friends. But sins do not wash away so easily. That is the price you pay for a miracle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback, but the entirety seems like mostly a flashback) Kyubey offers Rika any wish in exchange for becoming a Magical Girl. Hinano warns her not to do it, but Rika ignores the advice. She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Riko Chiaki&#039;s Heartphial Story: Worked Out with a Woof===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki reflects on her life. Even though her mom and dad were hardly home because of work, she never felt lonely as long as Miss K was around. She cared about her so much that she just wanted to help her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback) Riko helps out at her parents&#039; bento store. She is close with Miss K, the daughter of the hardware store owner next door. Miss K has always been like a big sister to her. Miss K cries to Riko that her father opposes her marriage because he does not want her to move far away. Riko wishes to Kyubey for Miss K&#039;s marriage to be accepted. She becomes a Magical Girl. Miss K gets married and moves away. Riko misses her but does not regret her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Riko goes filming with Ashley. She tells Ashley about Miss K. She explains that Miss K&#039;s father never fully accepted the marriage, and they have not made up. Riko receives a message from Miss K saying she was in the hospital because she was pregnant. She invites Riko to visit her new house. Riko goes and meets the baby. Miss K asks Riko to be friends with her child. Riko becomes like a big sister to the baby. She feels happy that her wish came true but is sad Miss K and her father never reconciled.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko walks Mameji and sees Miss K&#039;s father standing outside the hardware store, looking sad. She wonders what is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley advises Riko to ask Miss K directly if she wants to make up with her father. Riko texts Miss K and asks to meet. Miss K replies that she will come to Riko&#039;s town instead. Riko is excited.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Miss K visits Riko. They talk about her father. Miss K says she wants to make up with him but does not know how. Riko suggests inviting him to meet the baby, giving him a present, or going on a family trip. Miss K doubts any of it will work. They walk to Riko&#039;s store together. They encounter Miss K&#039;s father outside. Riko admits she asked Miss K to come so they could patch things up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Miss K&#039;s father reveals he brought a herbarium to Riko&#039;s store. It was originally meant as a gift for his grandchild, but he could not bring himself to deliver it. Riko realizes Mameji had been guiding her this whole time. Earlier, Mameji had barked at the cake that turned out to be from Miss K&#039;s father. Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky. She realizes she is dying, having protected Yachiyo. She remembers how everyone was fighting for dear life. She wished she were stronger to help them. She is sorry for not being stronger. She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ashley Taylor&#039;s Heartphial Story: Can&#039;t Be Myself Without What I Love===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley Taylor reflects on her life. Studying in Japan is awesome fun. She wants to find more kawaii for her vlog viewers back home and asks her father to watch over her while she pursues her passions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley vlogs with Riko&#039;s help. She films herself shopping for Magical Kirin merch and gurokawa items. After editing and uploading the video, she replies to comments from her followers. She thinks about her father and hopes he is watching.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley remembers the day she wanted to study abroad in Japan. Her father refused without giving a clear reason, which was unusual. Kyubey appeared and offered to grant any wish. Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko notices Ashley seems down. She worries Ashley is overworking herself by vlogging daily and replying to comments late at night. Ashley says it does not feel like work because she loves it. She thanks Riko for being a kind friend. They go out to film another vlog.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley continues vlogging daily. She worries about skipping a day because her followers might unfollow her. She wakes up to find Kumanosuke missing. She panics, feeling like her world is ending. Riko arrives with a bento and finds Ashley crying. Ashley explains she lost Kumanosuke. Riko comforts her and says it is okay to skip a vlog. Ashley admits she has been using followers&#039; comments to fill the hole left by her father&#039;s death. Riko says she understands loss—she misses her sister who moved far away. They decide to search for Kumanosuke.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko suggests Ashley ask her followers for help finding Kumanosuke. During a live stream, a commenter suggests rewatching her previous vlog. Ashley realizes she left Kumanosuke on a chair when she got distracted by a crane machine. They find Kumanosuke on a shelf at the store, dressed in Waloli Gurokawa clothes. Ashley gets him back. She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

* At the hospital, a nurse tries to convince Touka to eat her carrots. Touka refuses unless her terms are met: she wants specific books brought to her. The books are Hachslingen&#039;s &amp;quot;General Theory of the Origin of the Universe,&amp;quot; Cosinberg&#039;s &amp;quot;Celestial Forces,&amp;quot; and Dadatri&#039;s &amp;quot;Glimmer of the Planet.&amp;quot; She claims no one will hand them over. The nurse eventually gives up on the carrots.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Future Relationships|Future Relationships ~Current Status with Onee-sama~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Nemu deduces that Touka is acting like Princess Kaguya, requesting treasures she knows do not exist to avoid eating her carrots. Exposed, Touka reluctantly eats a carrot.

===Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call|Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wait, You Got It Wrong!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayu Kozue&#039;s most treasured possession is a bear pendant her father carved for her before he died. When a hand-drawn postcard is stolen from the museum where she works, security footage shows her friend Ria at the scene moments later. Mayu cannot reach Ria and suspects a Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~|Wait, You Got It Wrong! / Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While searching for Ria, Mayu encounters Asuka Tatsuki, whose family&#039;s invaluable book of secrets was also stolen. A witness described a blonde girl in a Mizuna uniform—Ria. They find Sayuki Fumino crying over her stolen sword book, then Rena Minami who was bumped by the same girl. At Walnut&#039;s restaurant, Manaka Kurumi accuses Ria of stealing a rice omelet. A Witch barrier appears, and after Mayu and Asuka defeat the Familiars, Ria arrives demanding to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka challenges Ria to a duel over the thefts, and Ria loses. She confesses to something embarrassing, and everyone assumes she means the thefts—but she meant a binder of idol clippings she desperately hopes no one saw. She was only chasing the Witch to recover her own stolen belongings. Relieved, Mayu and Asuka join her. They track and defeat the Witch, recovering most items, but the museum postcard, the dojo book, and Ria&#039;s binder remain missing. They agree to search again tomorrow. That night, Mayu dreams of her father, who tells her material things are destined to break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, thefts continue across the city. Mayu realizes the Witch they defeated was only a Familiar and the real Witch is still out there. She offers her precious pendant as bait to track it. Despite Ria&#039;s protests, Mayu uses it, and they follow the magic trail to the Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After a difficult battle, they recover all stolen items, though Mayu&#039;s pendant is scratched and its chain broken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu is unbothered. She explains that material possessions naturally break, but the memories they hold remain in her heart—a lesson from her father. Asuka and Ria are moved, and Mayu turns to walk home, promptly falls into a lake, and flounders while Ria sighs that she has not changed at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor she calls Miss K. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Miss K with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Miss K&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Miss K to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

===&amp;quot;Let&#039;s hit the Suitoku baths! (Music Collection 1 bonus drama)&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo, Iroha, and Sana prepare a meal. Felicia reluctantly helps. Tsuruno arrives with a flyer for Suitokuyu, a public bathhouse holding an event as part of a shopping district revitalization plan. She invites everyone to go together. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the bathhouse, they read the posted rules. Tsuruno pretends to be a &amp;quot;bathhouse master&amp;quot; and teaches them. Sana becomes embarrassed about being naked in front of everyone. Yachiyo understands her feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Villa. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;
~A Little Break For Us~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===This is The Warmest Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha is going about her day when Sana, Felicia, and Ui present her with a pinwheel and ask her to blow on it. Though confused by their strange behavior, Iroha does as they ask and the girls thank her before quickly scampering off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~#This Is The Warmest Day Login Special|This is The Warmest Day]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts. When Yachiyo asks Iroha&#039;s opinion, Iroha expresses her love for shortcake and suggests they bake one immediately, but Yachiyo insists she wait for the right moment, which will come sooner than she thinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Lavi is shopping when Nayuta finds her to share news about her math test score. They return home where Lavi prepares dinner, and Nayuta discovers Lavi earned perfect scores in every subject, highlighting the gap between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House|The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day while Lavi runs errands, Nayuta confides in Mikage about her fears that Lavi only respects her father and secretly resents serving her. Seeking answers, Nayuta visits Mitama, who suggests that kindness and broad-mindedness are the traits she needs to develop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Nayuta observes how hard Lavi works attending school, studying, handling housework, and fighting witches. Worried she might collapse, Nayuta offers Lavi time off for her upcoming sixteenth birthday and secretly plans a surprise party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later on Lavi&#039;s birthday, Nayuta and Mikage struggle through cleaning the house and preparing a celebration. Their efforts are interrupted when Lavi returns early for lunch, scolds them for the mess, but leaves again at Nayuta&#039;s insistence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Lavi returns that evening, the handmade kusudama falls onto the cake and catches fire. Lavi extinguishes it with water, and Nayuta is left mortified as her surprise party fails spectacularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Nayuta senses lingering coldness from Lavi and struggles to find the right way to apologize. Remembering her father&#039;s example, she decides to catch and cook a fish as an apology gift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day at a fishing center, Nayuta encounters girls from the Tokime clan who teach her how to gut fish. Despite being disturbed by the process, she perseveres and eventually catches the exact fish she wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning home late, Nayuta discovers a threatening letter addressed to Lavi and deduces it must be connected to the serious trouble from Lavi&#039;s hometown. She rushes to the market street with Mikage to protect her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the market street, Nayuta confronts the man speaking with Lavi, declaring herself as Satomi Tasuke&#039;s daughter to intimidate him. The man reveals he is simply a stalker with no connection to Lavi&#039;s past, and when he becomes agitated, Nayuta tackles him unconscious as a crowd applauds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Nayuta presents the cooked fish and apologizes. Lavi admits she was barely angry anymore and thanks Nayuta for protecting her, acknowledging she was just like her father in that moment. Nayuta produces a second kusudama and cake, and this time the celebration succeeds. As they pick confetti from the cake, Lavi quietly says she will continue to admire Nayuta until the final day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune. The Rumor says that if you receive the book and find a drawing of yourself, the sketched event will happen and if you try to stop it, a creature named Ketch drags you into the book. Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One summer morning, Mitama is at her shop and she has set up a small café corner called Hot☆Corner. The cat, Doyle, is especially attached to her lately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery|The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day|Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Rumored Temp Counselor===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

===Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away|Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

* The following day, Ryoko investigates and discovers Sakuya hid her own shoes and started the gossip to isolate herself. Sakuya confesses she killed her best friend in the war and must remain alone to avoid hurting anyone else. Ryoko declares she will save Sakuya by becoming her best friend, and they fight until exhausted. That night, Sakuya dreams of her deceased friend, who thanks her and tells her to move forward. She wakes to find Ryoko collapsed from hunger, and they talk for hours like ordinary friends. Though they agree they cannot meet again until the battles are over, they promise to become true friends then.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mikage wonders if she might become famous but worries about sketchy people, and Mitama jokingly offers to beat them up. Mikage asks if they can make real chocolate together, but Mitama needs to go to her coordinator shop. Mikage promises to do things that make her sister smile instead, and Mitama suggests they make Valentine&#039;s chocolate together next year.

* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend.

To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the student council meeting, Yuna honestly requests more time to handle personal matters, promising to dedicate herself fully afterward. The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

==Magia Record Events==&lt;br /&gt;
===See You Tomorrow===&lt;br /&gt;
* One morning at the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira greets an older neighbor who warns her about increasing danger in the area. Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them. The girl agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, finishing the final preparations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day of the school festival proceeds without major incident. Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, sampling food and enjoying the event. They take a photo together at the repaired arch—Tsumugi, Manaka, and the transfer student in her uniform. The transfer student reflects later that she will cherish the photo forever, grateful for the kindness she did not feel she deserved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Autumn of Reading===&lt;br /&gt;
This seems to have been an event without story. Needs to be re-checked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Girls in the Hood===&lt;br /&gt;
* An earthquake strikes the city, and on a rooftop, Jun Kazari drops both her yo-yo and her soul gem while practicing tricks. She chases after the soul gem, while the yo-yo falls into the hood of Mitsune Miwa, a hikikomori watching a performance below. Mitsune decides to return it and runs up the stairs, where she collides with Jun. Jun explains she needs her soul gem, and Mitsune returns the yo-yo. A Witch&#039;s barrier appears around them, and Jun transforms to fight while telling Mitsune to close her eyes. Mitsune peeks, collapses after seeing the Witch die, and Jun carries her outside, claiming it was all a dream. Jun insists on treating Mitsune since she saved her yo-yo, and takes her to a candy store called Tomorrow Shop. Jun introduces her to the children there, and Mitsune is amazed by how loved Jun is. Mitsune must leave by 6 PM, and Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Girls in the Hood|Girls in the Hood]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitsune returns to the shop and sees Kanae Yukino talking with Jun. Mitsune detours down an alley and is caught in a Witch&#039;s barrier. Kanae enters first, and Jun follows to save Mitsune. They defeat the Witch together, and Mitsune wakes in a park. Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop&amp;quot; again, and Mitsune smiles and agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Jun talks to Kyubey about having no friends her own age, while Mitsune researches online and finds rumors about magical girls and the Tomorrow Shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Jun and the shop owner discover that Mitsune is their neighbor. Mitsune asks Jun about what she saw, but Jun says she forgot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitsune later sees Kanae talking to Kyubey and follows her, but is pulled into a Familiar&#039;s labyrinth. Jun saves her, and Mitsune directly asks if Jun is a magical girl. Jun begins explaining Witches, Familiars, and magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mitsune admits she still cannot go to school or make friends. Jun says she also struggles with friends. Mitsune wonders if she should become a magical girl, but Jun yells at her not to. Mitsune leaves upset. Kanae warns Jun that Mitsune has the qualities to become a magical girl, and Jun reveals she is moving away from Kamihama. She used her wish to save the shop, but now realizes other things are more important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Jun tells Mitsune she is moving next week and that magical girls do not have the kind of magic Mitsune dreams of. Mitsune must make her own dreams come true. Jun promises to prove she does not need magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Jun finds that the children and Mitsune went to explore Shinsei Ward without her. She finds them at an abandoned construction site where Mitsune encountered a Witch. Mitsune sent the children away but stayed behind. Jun arrives and uses a homemade bomb to damage the Witch before they escape. A gas leak causes a larger explosion, and they escape on Kanae&#039;s motorcycle. Kanae later destroys the Witch barrier herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Jun says goodbye at the shop. Mitsune arrives crying, and Jun gives her a fake gum toy as a farewell gift. Jun tells her she can become whatever she wants without magic, slowly and little by little, and that if she keeps that happy face, they will meet again. &amp;quot;Someday, see you at the Tomorrow Shop again.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, Jun returns to Kamihama. Despite destruction throughout the city, she decides to go to the Tomorrow Shop and see Mitsune and the old lady again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope 1===&lt;br /&gt;
* At age 12, shortly after contracting, Yachiyo meets Mifuyu and initially dislikes her, but her opinion changes after learning about Mifuyu&#039;s demanding family obligations and when Mifuyu takes a severe wound saving her from hostile Magical Girls. Yachiyo later returns the favor, and they grow closer as Mifuyu begins visiting Mikazuki Manor. They eventually share why they made their contracts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope|Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, they defeat a Witch together that had attacked a girl from the hostel. Yachiyo suggests they train as a team, and Mifuyu accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo thrives through hard work while Mifuyu struggles under her mother&#039;s expectations. After Yachiyo confronts Mifuyu&#039;s mother, she is banned from the household, but Mifuyu gains the freedom to visit Mikazuki Manor regularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon, Yachiyo&#039;s modelling team disbands so she can pursue solo work, causing friction. Mifuyu becomes overwhelmed balancing duties with her mother&#039;s restrictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the same pair of Magical Girls from years ago betrays them during a Witch hunt. One dies and the other escapes after stealing the Grief Seed while Yachiyo and Mifuyu lie wounded. They nearly give up, but saving a girl from Yachiyo&#039;s unit reminds them that protecting others still matters. Yachiyo suggests they exchange letters like her grandmother did to maintain hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Seven years later, Mifuyu suggests stopping the letters to cast away weakness, but Yachiyo believes the letters give them strength by carrying others&#039; wishes.

====Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope 2====&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo finds an old photo album while cleaning. She shows it to Iroha, Tsuruno, Sana, Felicia, and Ui. The photos are from seven years ago, when Mikazuki Villa was a boarding house. Iroha notices a girl standing next to Yachiyo and her grandmother—it is Mifuyu with long hair. Yachiyo explains she knew Mifuyu back then and they fought Witches together. Tsuruno is shocked and Yachiyo says they did not leave a good first impression on each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seven Years Ago&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo fights her first Witch. She is scared but determined. Inside the barrier, she finds another Magical Girl crying. The girl is too frightened to fight. Yachiyo tries to cooperate, but the girl runs away. Yachiyo defeats the Witch alone. Afterward, she confronts the crying girl and tells her that if she cannot fight, she should quit. The girl begs Yachiyo not to leave her alone. Yachiyo is harsh but later realizes she is also scared. Both girls cry alone, afraid of being Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo is the leader of her model unit. The other members are starting to trust her. One member, Yellow, still does not approve of Yachiyo as leader. Yachiyo continues working hard. After her lesson, she defeats a Familiar. She encounters Mifuyu again. Mifuyu says she felt the Familiar&#039;s presence but was too scared to enter the barrier. Yachiyo is harsh again, but Mifuyu says she wants to talk properly. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives and invites Mifuyu to a candy store. Mifuyu has never been to one before. She is amazed by the syrup. The grandmother invites her to visit Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s unit has a successful photoshoot. She feels happy. Later, she senses a powerful Witch and enters the barrier. Two other Magical Girls are already fighting it. Yachiyo asks to join them, but they attack her. They say the Witch is their prey and threaten her. Mifuyu appears and says they should cooperate. The other girls ignore her and lure the Witch toward Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Mifuyu protects Yachiyo and gets injured. They escape together and rest in a park. Yachiyo shares her grief seed with Mifuyu. They introduce themselves. Yachiyo learns Mifuyu comes from a strict family with nine lessons. Mifuyu became a Magical Girl to dream freely. They bond over their shared struggles. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to visit again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu visits Mikazuki Villa. She brings sweets. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother shows the album and the magazine featuring Yachiyo&#039;s unit. The older boarders ask Mifuyu for a cute nickname for Yachiyo. Mifuyu suggests &amp;quot;Yacchan.&amp;quot; Yachiyo likes it. That night, a Witch appears near the station. They fight together and save a boarder from Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo suggests they team up because they are both weak and will become stronger together. Mifuyu agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Yachiyo and Mifuyu continue patrolling. Mifuyu&#039;s parents increase her lessons because they suspect she is sneaking out to play. Yachiyo feels guilty. They decide to reduce patrols for the next week.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s manager tells her the unit will be disbanded at the end of the month. Yachiyo is devastated. Her wish to keep the unit alive was meaningless. She meets Mifuyu at the candy store. Mifuyu has been scolded and had her phone taken away. She says she cannot endure her life anymore. Yachiyo blames herself for dragging Mifuyu around. A Witch appears. They fight it, but two other Magical Girls show up and attack them. The Witch kills one of them. Yachiyo and Mifuyu fight the Witch together and defeat it. The surviving Magical Girl takes the grief seed and leaves. Yachiyo and Mifuyu are broken. They ask Kyubey to let them quit, but he refuses.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo finds a grief seed left behind by the surviving Magical Girl. She realizes she saved the girl&#039;s life. Mifuyu says that even though their wishes were meaningless, they are still alive and can protect what is important. Yachiyo recalls her grandmother&#039;s words about leaving feelings behind through letters. She decides she and Mifuyu should exchange letters to leave their feelings behind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day at Mikazuki Villa&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu continue looking through the photo album. Mifuyu says the letters were their hope and their weakness. She suggests they stop exchanging letters because they are now seniors who must be strong. Yachiyo refuses. She says the letters keep her tied to reality and give her hope. Mifuyu agrees to continue. They find an old letter Yachiyo wrote. Yachiyo says she will write this year&#039;s letter. Mifuyu promises to write one too. They vow to exchange letters forever.&lt;br /&gt;

** Shizuku wanders to a pond, where Kanagi finds her and speaks about protecting magical girls. Shizuku interprets this as a reminder that everyone leaves and excuses herself.

She turns her phone off, convinced she has nowhere left to return to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sent&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku finds herself in an unfamiliar place, confronted by a mysterious figure.

The figure reveals itself as her Doppel and agrees to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sent&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At the coffee shop, the friends gather. Hinano arrives, having fallen into a pond while searching for Shizuku, and expresses her desire to be friends too. As Shizuku prepares tea, the group grows lively around her. She reflects that she still does not know how she wants to live, but for now, being able to smile as she watches everyone have fun is enough. Ryo quietly takes a photo of her smiling, and Shizuku joins the others as they laugh together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sent&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After deducing the impostor can transform, Sae confronts and corners Rena, who reveals the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire investigation was an elaborate setup. Emiri and the others orchestrated the &amp;quot;False Magical Girl&amp;quot; to force Sae into relying on them, worried her refusal to ask for help would lead to disaster. Mitama coordinated the scheme. Though initially frustrated, Sae understands their concern and thanks them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Magia Record Event - The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf|The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo bumps into Tsuruno on a day when school is out. Yachiyo has a job performing in a recorded drama with Sayuki that will be screened on Tanabata. Tsuruno recalls Yachiyo&#039;s poor performance in Karin&#039;s Halloween play and decides to join her to help. Yachiyo welcomes her.&lt;br /&gt;
** On set, Ria and Mayu are assisting with makeup and costumes. Yachiyo recognizes Ria, calls her by name, and praises her work, causing Ria to internally fangirl. Yachiyo grows anxious seeing so many Magical Girls gathered, recalling how a previous production with magical girls turned into a disaster. Tsuruno reassures her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wins over the production team with her exuberance. The play&#039;s co-star drops out, and the director asks Tsuruno to take the role. She eagerly accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a fairy tale about an ancient Mizuna legend. Two girls, Tsuyu and Chizuru, befriend each other despite their families&#039; rivalry and join forces to punish a selfish lord. Yachiyo plays Tsuyu, the ice queen with a heart of gold. Tsuruno plays Chizuru, the cheerful and impetuous girl. Sayuki plays the Magpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** During the script reading, everyone realizes Yachiyo&#039;s acting skills are still terrible. Yachiyo confides that she has turned down many acting jobs but accepted this one because the director begged her, even if she flops. She vows to see it through to expand her repertoire. Tsuruno promises to stay by her side.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria is in shock seeing her idol perform poorly. The filmmakers work around it by taking away Yachiyo&#039;s lines. Ria confronts Yachiyo and Tsuruno after the reading, declaring she will give Yachiyo an acting bootcamp. She does not want Yachiyo&#039;s performance to drag down her makeup work or her reputation as Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at home, Yachiyo reviews the script. Tsuruno explains the Mizuna fairy tale to the rest of Mikazuki. Felicia becomes interested when she learns there are fight scenes. Tsuruno explains that the day Tsuyu and Chizuru teamed up was Tanabata, and people in Kamihama entrust their wishes to them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next week or so, Yachiyo is drilled on acting with a professional coach and Ria&#039;s guidance. She eventually executes her lines perfectly and Ria is relieved.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sea is a Link Through Time /  The Call of the Open Sea===&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. There&#039;s two different versions at hand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Momoko and Mitama arrive at a resort near a village with a legend about a Diviner who eloped with a sailor and sank with stolen treasure. Mitama reveals they are actually there to hunt for this treasure based on a fairy tale Mikage heard. While exploring the private beach, they encounter Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao from the Tokime Clan, who stumbled there by accident. The group decides to spend the day together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|The Call of the Open Sea]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, they attend a festival in a nearby village that turns out to be a branch of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka learns the villagers consider Diviners a superstition. Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Big Sis, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Felicia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward. Kyubey finds a fuming Felicia, who decides to hire herself out as a mercenary to other magical girls for money or Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Felicia Mitsuki#Side Story|Felicia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Hazuki and Nanaka team up with Ui to teach her how to defeat witches. Ui claims her first victory and receives a grief seed as a reward while Touka and Nemu tag along to offer congratulations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui suddenly realizes she loves the choir and wants to become a music teacher. She excitedly shares this revelation with her family and friends and resolves to work hard toward this future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art.

===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends. Before Hibari&#039;s family moved away, she performed a charm ritual on Aru and promised they would meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message that Hibari is coming to visit Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives and they plan to visit an arcade. Along the way they encounter Himena&#039;s group and later help a lost Shizuka. After some confusion about directions, they reach the arcade where Hibari wins a crane game prize and helps Juri win one too. Hibari suddenly becomes pale and goes to get change, but she does not return. Kagome calls her and Hibari thanks her for being friends before saying goodbye, with an ambulance audible in the background.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome discovers a crowd under a Witch&#039;s Kiss heading toward a rooftop and sends emergency messages to every Magical Girl she knows. Himena&#039;s group arrives to help hold back the crowd, but other girls cannot come due to similar incidents elsewhere. Shizuka finally checks her phone and rushes over with the Tokime Clan just as someone threatens to ignite kerosene. They stop the crowd while Juri and Ao defeat the Witch with Livia&#039;s help. The Witch&#039;s Kiss is lifted and Hibari wakes up confused, with Livia covering that she collapsed from anemia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari admits she felt faint because seeing Kagome surrounded by friends made her happy but also made her feel left behind and alone. Kagome insists Hibari is wrong and promises to come running whenever Hibari is in trouble, asking them to stay best friends forever. Hibari reveals the two wishes she made when they parted came true: that she could speak her mind loudly and that Kagome would make lots of friends. They renew their promise to remain best friends forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kagome learned ventriloquism through Al-chan and grew more confident. The two became inseparable.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kagome&#039;s family moved due to her father&#039;s job transfer, Hibari put a charm on Al-chan with a secret wish. They promised to meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message from Hibari saying she will visit Kamihama. Kagome prepares to show her around.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives in Kamihama. Kagome is happy to see her. They go to the arcade. On the way, they run into Himena and her group. Kagome introduces Hibari. Later, Kagome helps Shizuka, who was lost and struggling with a foreigner. Hibari is impressed by how much Kagome has grown.&lt;br /&gt;

* Day 4&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri struggled at school, frustrated by classmates who avoided conflict and teachers who enabled them. Her anger built up. She reflected on how she became a Magical Girl—she wished for a patient, stout heart to stay in school and not burden her father. The wish gave her patience but did not eliminate her anger; it built up as flames until she exploded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She said she liked being with him, just the two of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After thinking it over, she searches for information with help from others, but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hinano explains that because the agreement fell through, local manufacturers like Kanoko’s father stayed in business, so there was little news. Chiharu and Sunao arrange a meeting at the factory and bring Shizuka. Kanoko’s father tells Shizuka his factory would have failed otherwise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

One girl keeps trying to talk to her at the end of each day, but Shigure brushes her off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shiguress&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shigure Miyabi#Side Story|Shigure&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Walking home, Shigure sees a classmate under a witch’s influence about to commit suicide. She knocks the girl unconscious, enters the labyrinth, and is nearly defeated until a strange magical girl arrives. Together they kill the witch. Afterward the classmate dismisses Shigure’s help, but the stranger is kind. Shigure recognizes her as a fellow Black Feather; they introduce themselves as Hagumu and Shigure, and Shigure notes the warmth of Hagumu’s hands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shiguress&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shigure Miyabi#Side Story|Shigure&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shigure and Hagumu grow close but quickly become jaded. Their families and classmates resent their constant lateness, which comes from Magius work no one can know about. Even the classmate Shigure saved never acknowledged her. They begin to believe magical girls are superior to ordinary humans and deserve recognition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shiguress&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shigure Miyabi#Side Story|Shigure&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Hagumu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hagumu reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. After Walpurgisnacht, the organization dissolved, and many former Feathers joined the Kamihama Magia Union. Hagumu is uncertain, as she believes in Magical Girl Supremacy and cannot accept the Union&#039;s ideology of liberation without sacrifice. Shigure contacts her, asking to meet and talk. Shigure wants to convince Touka and Nemu to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Hagumu is conflicted—she cannot trust the Magius after being exploited, but she also cannot decide what to do. She asks for time to think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hagumu Azumi#Side Story|Hagumu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu meets Maria, a former Magius member who joined the Union. Maria notices Hagumu looks unwell and offers to listen. Hagumu explains her dilemma: she cannot agree with the Union&#039;s ideology, but she also cannot follow Shigure&#039;s plan. Maria suggests Hagumu ask other Magical Girls how they decided. Hagumu recalls her wish was made in haste to save a woman under a Witch&#039;s Kiss, and she regrets not choosing a better wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Moka why she joined the Union. Moka says she joined because she was invited and everyone is kind. Hagumu sees Moka is honest and never doubts people, which is why everyone supports her. Hagumu realizes they are completely different—Moka has people who protect her, while Hagumu feels she has nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Yukika, a former Black Feather, why she declined the Union. Yukika says she did not want to drag others into trouble. Hagumu sees Yukika has strong convictions and follows them, unlike herself. Hagumu feels more discouraged.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches. Hagumu is moved but asks for more time to discuss it with Shigure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hagumu finishes sewing Cinderella&#039;s costume and is praised by her club members. She feels a sense of accomplishment. However, she forgot to order the glass slippers. Her seniors are disappointed but tell her to order them now and make a to-do list next time. Hagumu feels crushed—she finally succeeded at something, only to fail again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu senses a Witch and goes to help. She sees Riko, an elementary schooler, defeating the Witch on her own. Hagumu realizes her ability to fight Witches is not special—any Magical Girl can do it. She feels her &amp;quot;glass slippers&amp;quot; are cracking and shattering. She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Hikarizuka Youth Association, San is treated like a younger sister by the members. The Chairman reveals the Association is facing rumours of shady business and has lost a major sponsor. The Fire Festival may be cancelled. San tells Miyuri about her past—as a child, she was scared of the Festival until Tatsu showed her the beauty of the flames. She joined the Youth Association out of admiration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[San Kagura#Side Story|San&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Years ago, a movement to abolish the Festival arose. San wished to Kyubey to &amp;quot;make the Fire Festival remain,&amp;quot; and the movement died out. However, the Festival is now in trouble again because her wish only solved the immediate crisis. San suggests that if they could make people believe in a visible god, they could restore faith in the Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San and Miyuri try fundraising but fail. San decides to research the god of Hikarizuka Shrine.

San realizes she can become a visible god and spread Magical Girl supremacy to protect the Festival. She decides to contact the new Wings of Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San meets Shigure and Hagumu, who lead the Neo-Magius. They ask her to join as an instructor. San declines, saying she is more suited to being a lieutenant. She receives a message that Tatsu was caught in a violent incident. San rushes back. Sponsors are considering dropping out due to the incident. San decides to negotiate with Miyuri&#039;s father to continue sponsorship just for this year. She kneels and begs him. He agrees but says this will be the last year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The Youth Association cleans up. San learns that everyone has given up on the Festival. Tatsu admits none of them ever saw the god—he only told San that to comfort her as a child. San is shocked but still refuses to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** San tells Himena about her wish and her determination to become a god. She vows to spread Magical Girl supremacy and revive the Fire Festival by any means necessary. Himena approves. San declares she will become a living god, no matter what she has to sacrifice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Miyuri&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena, Alexandra, Hagumu, and Shigure watch as San stretches Miyuri. Miyuri&#039;s loud reactions draw attention. Himena asks about Miyuri&#039;s inline skating. Miyuri explains she started skating as a child because she was bad at running and her parents bought her skates. She fell in love with the feeling of cutting through the wind and quickly improved, eventually competing in freestyle competitions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Miyuri Yukari#Side Story|Miyuri&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s social anxiety worsened. She began experiencing panic attacks at competitions and could no longer compete. Her parents signed her up with the Hikarizuka Youth Association to help her interact with people. There, she met San for the first time. San invited her to dance practice. Miyuri fainted from overexcitement while watching San&#039;s legs. She realized she had a leg fetish and that it triggered her anxiety. She began avoiding San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s skating practice suffered. Her mother suggested she visit the Community Center. Miyuri avoided San again and went outside to practice skating alone at night. She felt free and happy while skating. San saw her dancing in the moonlight and was mesmerized. San decided she wanted to help Miyuri grow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish. San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri learned her new power shortened her experience of anxiety. She became more confident but still fainted easily. She fought Witches alone, often blacking out and going berserk. She encountered the Wings of the Magius while chasing a Witch. Her Doppel emerged. San appeared as the Instructor, defeated the Witch, and fended off the Doppel. San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training. Touka and Nemu suggested San should train Miyuri since she could still hear San&#039;s voice when unconscious. San agreed and became Miyuri&#039;s instructor. Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present) Back at the Community Center, Miyuri finishes her story. She does not regret her wish because it led her to become San&#039;s secret weapon and join Neo-Magius. Himena and the others leave, leaving San and Miyuri alone and Miyuri is mitten with San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Lavi goes shopping with Mikage and Nayuta. At the vegetable shop, the owner thanks Lavi for her gardening advice. A woman gives Lavi fresh eggs as thanks for organic vegetables from Lavi&#039;s grandfather. Mikage notices Lavi knows many housewives. Nayuta realizes she knows little about Lavi&#039;s past.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi explains she used to have a frail body as a child due to an unidentifiable condition. Her grandfather grew organic vegetables, which eased her symptoms. However, a severe storm destroyed the field&#039;s soil, making it impossible to grow vegetables. Lavi wished to restore the soil and became a Magical Girl. Her wish saved the field and gave hope to others. She admits her improved health was partly due to becoming a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage wants to make the newspaper more interesting, so Lavi offers to demonstrate &amp;quot;newsworthy&amp;quot; housework. She cooks lunch while Mikage records. Nayuta and Mikage try to help but ruin the dish with too much seasoning. They are distraught, but Lavi salvages it using cabbage and eggs. The meal is delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After making the newspaper, Nayuta and Mikage fall asleep. Lavi reflects on her past. She reveals that she never found joy in living despite her family&#039;s efforts. Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true. She asks for a little more time in her beloved daily life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Asahi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime Tribe holds a celebration to welcome Asahi. During introductions, Chiharu rambles excitedly about her favorite shows, and Asahi finds herself intrigued. When pressed to share more about herself, Asahi talks about hunting and the importance of minimizing suffering. That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun. Everyone apologizes, and they end the day with a shared dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Alexandra&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Re-analyze and structure this. It is a double-story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra dreams of her school days. She sees her past self smiling and realizes she is dreaming of the time she was in love. In the dream, she discusses love with Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu. Himena shares a romantic story about stargazing with Hiko. When Himena asks about their own love lives, Alexandra begins crying unexpectedly. She denies anything is wrong, but Himena apologizes for being insensitive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Alexandra Kurusu#Side Story|Alexandra&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, Alexandra&#039;s teacher appears—but he looks like Shigure. Other people appear as Himena and Hagumu. She recalls that her teacher was her math teacher and club advisor. He was strict and had a reputation for being scary. Alexandra remembers how she would complain about him with her classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After club activities, Alexandra wants to practice singing more. She goes to the rooftop and finds the teacher there. He allows her to practice under his supervision. They begin meeting regularly on the rooftop. She learns he does not smoke and is careful about his throat. He mentions that being an adult is not that great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A male classmate confesses to Alexandra. She almost accepts but pictures the teacher&#039;s face and realizes she loves someone else. She rejects the classmate. Later, it rains, and the teacher lends her his towel. She realizes she has fallen in love with him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra begins trying to appeal to the teacher daily. She asks about his relationship status and learns he is single. She indirectly describes him when talking about her type. She leaves a love letter in his shoe locker. He thinks it is a prank but recognizes her handwriting. She keeps trying to convey her feelings, but he never takes her seriously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra&#039;s behavior becomes obvious in class. She eagerly volunteers to answer questions and is overly happy when called on. Her classmates are amazed she can talk to the scary teacher so cheerfully. She learns everyone fears him. She asks why he became a teacher, and he admits his parents were teachers and he had wanted to be a singer but never pursued it. He wonders if there is any meaning to his life. Alexandra feels sorrow and wants him to be happy. She begins planning to improve his reputation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey appears and offers to grant any wish. Alexandra wants to capture the teacher&#039;s heart through her own efforts. She decides not to make a wish yet. She organizes a surprise birthday party for him with her classmates. He is genuinely happy and thanks her. He realizes she planned it. She tells him all the students respect him. He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra continues her jokes and attempts to get closer to the teacher. She jokes about marriage and asks for a date on the school trip. He unexpectedly agrees to go shopping with her for a few minutes. She hugs him in excitement. A classmate spots them on the rooftop. Rumors spread quickly. The principal calls the teacher in. He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra cannot wake up from the dream. She imagines the teacher scolding her for playing with his feelings. She decides she needs to apologize in real life. She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love. She tells him her feelings were not a deception—they were true love. She thanks him for a wonderful time and says she now only places her faith in Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Iroha reassures her, noting they are both stubborn junior‑high girls from Takarazaki who came to Kamihama to find someone important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Yachiyo has no new information about Nayuta’s father. Tsuruno has Nayuta show a photo, but no one recognizes him. Felicia suggests Nayuta simply ask Touka, since she also grew up at Satomi Medical Center. Nayuta refuses, saying she cannot trust Touka, and apologizes for her stubbornness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Nayuta admits to Lavi she slept poorly because she cannot stop thinking about Touka. Mikage arrives, upset after a fight with Sudachi: Mikage complained about school, Sudachi said she envied Mikage for being able to attend, and they argued over whose position was harder.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home. Lavi approves of her standing her ground, and Nayuta realizes she and Lavi are more alike than she thought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, classmates who used to bully her avoid her, but Mikage is determined to find Magical Girl friends. Himika tells her about Emiri’s counseling center, so they go there together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the center, Emiri, Sasara, Asuka, and Kanoko are delighted to meet Mitama’s little sister. Mikage explains she is looking for a friend, but Emiri points out they are already her friends. After some banter about fashion, Mikage tries on Kanoko’s outfits and has a wonderful time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mikage wonders if the older girls truly see her as a friend or just as a kid. Himika suggests she meet girls her own age like Ui, Touka, and Nemu, though Mikage is uncertain about befriending the geniuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When she returns home, Mitama warns her that Ui has been kidnapped by Promised Blood and forbids Mikage from associating with the Kamihama Magia Union. Mikage reluctantly agrees but is frustrated her efforts to make friends have been stopped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama leaves for work and Mikage accuses her of hypocrisy—Mitama can spend time with the KMU while Mikage cannot. She runs out, declaring she will find a new big sister. She finds Emiri’s office closed but runs into Rika and Ren, who quickly realize she is Mitama’s sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Mikage bond over fashion and go to some cheap stores, where Mikage realizes she left her wallet. They play a crane game instead, and Rika wins stuffed animals for Ren and Mikage. Mikage asks Rika to be her big sister; Rika declines but encourages her to talk to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory. Kanoko lets her help make a pendant, but before Mikage can convince her to become her sister, Mitama arrives and drags her home. Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any. Later, she finds Mitama has made all her favorite foods, and they reconcile off‑screen; Mikage gives Mitama the pendant she made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage declares she will not give up on making Kamihama Magia Union friends. She then decides that since Lavi and Nayuta are older, they can be her big sisters instead. They exchange a look and agree to treat her for one day. Mikage expresses her hope that someday she and Sudachi can play with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, a magical girl named Livia invited Sudachi to Kamihama, where their work might offer her salvation despite its difficult costs. Sudachi followed her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yozuru plays piano at a pharmacist’s request, impressing everyone, then meets Livia Medeiros and Sudachi Sawa. Sudachi exposes Mifuyu, who decides to introduce herself directly. Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yozuru meets Livia and Sudachi again. Yozuru worries she lacks the kindness to be a good coordinator, but Livia encourages her. Sudachi’s stomach rumbles, and Yozuru prepares snacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yozuru replies that her mother trained her to face worse and declares she will live to the fullest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited again. She jokes about the visitor&#039;s persistence. Yozuru and Sudachi return from stocking up on essentials. Sudachi trips, and Yozuru hesitates to help. Livia instructs Yozuru to help Sudachi stand and dust her off. Yozuru apologizes and explains she is not equipped with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the trailer, Yozuru offers tea. Sudachi wants teacakes. Livia allows them to have some as a treat. Livia reflects that she needs to help the girls mature. Yozuru has lost compassion, while Sudachi needs to find her words. Livia believes they will complement each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is found sleeping and crying. Yozuru gives her a handkerchief. Livia says crying in sleep happens occasionally and is common among Coordinators. She thanks Sudachi for finding her dropped ring. Sudachi sulks when Livia refuses to give her sweets as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the ring is a treasure and a way of reprimanding herself. It is the reason she lives for &amp;quot;Mister Sun.&amp;quot; She says she may tell the full story another time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia shares her philosophy: no matter how awful life is, do not drift in a bad direction or relieve resentment with a curse. Magical Girls are born from hope and must overcome struggles with hope. She warns against corrupting purity and urges supporting those with pure hearts. She says she has said enough for now and will share the rest when she is ready. She asks the visitor to promise to live strong, face forward, and not end up like her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Lil&#039; Kyubey returns to Mikazuki Villa. Touka and Nemu are exhausted. They conclude Lil&#039; Kyubey may feel things and have sociality, but cannot reach a firm conclusion.

Lil&#039; Kyubey later meets Hazuki and gives her KamihaManju, but Hazuki refuses, saying she is on a diet and does not want Lil&#039; Kyubey contacting her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo loses sight of Lil&#039; Kyubey. She finds a girl with potential who may have received a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and helps fight the Witch alongside Nanaka. After the battle, Nanaka explains Lil&#039; Kyubey followed her into the labyrinth and returned a flower she dropped. Nanaka asks Ryo to tell Lil&#039; Kyubey to stop visiting unfriendly Magical Girls. Ryo realizes Lil&#039; Kyubey avoids girls with potential and is not soliciting anyone. She writes an article correcting her earlier suspicions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It visits various schools with different Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui finishes her journal. Touka and Nemu read it and use it as qualitative data. They debate whether Lil&#039; Kyubey is mimicking humans or simply reinforcing Ui&#039;s actions. Iroha suggests Lil&#039; Kyubey is supporting them in their efforts to free all Magical Girls. Lil&#039; Kyubey agrees, and Iroha thanks it for accompanying them. She says they will continue together from now on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This is also belonging to the anime partly. Write the main part on the magia record and then the second part on the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices. Kyubey, whom she calls a talking cat, keeps urging her to make a contract, but she does not know what to wish for—though she finds herself wishing God could speak to humans like Kyubey does.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the boy reads the fairy tale Kuroe recommended. He questions a detail in the story, but Kuroe simply accepts it because the writer says so. He jokes that he feels alive because Kuroe thinks so deeply, meaning it as a compliment. Later a teacher asks about her high school plans; Kuroe claims she has decided, but she is merely following her family’s expectations and secretly does not want to go to high school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* At home she prays for a life without fighting or seeing people die. At school, in a depressed mood, she asks her boyfriend unsettling questions about sacrifice and guilt. When he realizes something is wrong, she says she is going to die soon. Despite his attempts to help, she breaks up with him, feeling she deceived him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to the train station and senses a Witch. Inside the Labyrinth, she saves a young, inexperienced Magical Girl. When the girl asks for a spare Grief Seed, Kuroe lies and says the Witch got away. The girl promises they will both become strong and leaves.

That night she begins having a strange dream telling her to go to Kamihama, where Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** That night, Kuroe faces a Witch too powerful for her. Another Magical Girl, Iroha Tamaki, saves her, gives her a Grief Seed, and offers friendship. The kindness reminds Kuroe of the white‑hooded girl and her regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe returns the Grief Seed to Iroha, and they begin working together. They notice no Witches have appeared in Takarazaki for a week—coinciding with Kuroe’s dreams of Kamihama. Seeing online comments from other Magical Girls heading there, Kuroe decides to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe and Iroha go to Kamihama together but nearly die against an unusually strong Witch until Yachiyo Nanami saves them. Yachiyo warns them to stay out. At home, Kuroe watches a video by Touka Satomi of the Wings of the Magius, who promise a world where Magical Girls no longer need to fight.

===Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe dreams of Iroha, though she cannot understand her words. Her Doppel reflects that her contract gave her affirmation of existence, yet she still does not feel like anyone - she simply adapts to whatever situation she is in, resented by no one and dependent on no one, but still wondering who she should be. In the dream, Iroha asks what scares her and offers to figure out who Kuroe is together. Kuroe wakes up wondering why she dreamed of the camping trip, and she calls Iroha, deciding she wants to connect with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroeds&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Doppel Story|Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sasara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara is taken hostage at knifepoint in a convenience store. Despite her desire to be a knight, she is too terrified to act. Though the police arrest the criminal and she is safe, Sasara feels ashamed and hates herself for her cowardice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sasara Minagi#Side Story|Sasara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sasara meets Kyubey and when he makes his offer, Sasara accepts without hesitation. As her father works for an emergency rescue squad, a job she admires, he gave her a favorite picture book about a knight who defeats a dragon to save a village. Sasara carries this book everywhere and has always wanted to be like her father and the knight. She wishes to become a knight who can protect and save people, asking for a stronger heart and stronger convictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Sasara has been hunting witches and saving their victims ever since making her contract. She calls herself the Knight who protects the people of Kamihama, but over time her feelings become tainted. The people she rescues never remember what happened and do not acknowledge her. Sasara realizes she wants someone to appreciate her and questions whether she really wanted to become a knight at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book. She thought she could accept the people she helped not talking to her, but now it feels like she does not even exist. When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nanaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Needs to be re-checked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako to ask for their help fighting a witch they all share a connection to. To explain why she needs them, Nanaka tells them how she became a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka&#039;s father headed a traditional Japanese flower arranging school, but when he fell ill, senior students took over and grew the school&#039;s popularity while abandoning its traditions, shutting out Nanaka&#039;s family entirely. On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform. She decided to lay the Soul Gem with its owner&#039;s body, and when she placed the gem in the girl&#039;s hands, the girl began breathing again. Later, Kyubey explained that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Kyubey asks if Nanaka will tell the others this secret, but she says she is waiting for the right moment. Nanaka then reflects that her true revenge target is actually Kyubey himself. Her power makes it clear he is her enemy, though she does not know all the details, and she is waiting for the right time to turn against him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Nanaka&#039;s team is still unable to find the witch. Akira reports meeting a magical girl mercenary. As the girls plan their next move, Nanaka muses about how she is gathering the determination of magical girls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuku enjoys time with her friends but feels disconnected from them and uncertain about her future. She finds comfort in Fūnī, a traveler who visits her family&#039;s cafe and shares his dream of finding a place to belong. When he invites her to search with him, she feels hopeful that she will not be alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* As a magical girl, Shizuku gains the power to connect spaces, allowing her to travel the world much like Fūnī once did. She continues her search, taking jobs from an unknown magical girl who pays her to use her power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day after a job, Yachiyo Nanami, Tsuruno Yui, and Iroha Tamaki approach her. Iroha invites Shizuku to their house, where she meets Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba. She stays for dinner and overnight, observing how the five girls live together like a family. Yachiyo invites her to stay as long as she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku realizes the other girls have found their place to belong, but she understands that her own place was with Fūnī. She cries as his last words finally make sense to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, Shizuku ends her arrangement with the unknown magical girl and returns to Yachiyo&#039;s house, hoping she can stay there. When she arrives, the house is empty, and she sees the personal items that mark each girl&#039;s place. Overhearing them return, she realizes their home is complete with five people and she does not belong there. She leaves quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and the others had prepared a welcome party with cake, but Shizuku never comes. Yachiyo senses that Shizuku might disappear if you look away and admits she should have seen this coming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku returns to the unknown magical girl and asks for more work. When asked why she came back, she says their picture was complete with five people and she must keep searching for where she belongs. She mentally apologizes to Yachiyo, knowing her actions will cause disaster but feeling unprepared to take responsibility. She wonders if she will ever find solid ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Akira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After Nanaka and Sasara contracts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Akira wakes from a dream about being attacked by a familiar and finds Sasara Minagi nearby, who is out for a walk. Sasara offers to help Akira search for an old man&#039;s lost cane, recalling she saw children playing with a red cane, and the two head off together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akira Shinobu#Side Story|Akira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akira reflects on her upbringing in her father&#039;s karate dojo, where she learned to always help those in need and earned the neighborhood nickname &amp;quot;Troubleshooter&amp;quot; starting at age six.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira started middle school, a girl asked her to be a bodyguard against a stalker. The girl brought her to a park, confessed her love, and admitted to lying about the stalker. Akira politely rejected her, saying she didn&#039;t know much about that sort of thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Akira learned the girl had vanished and spent days searching for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day Akira found the barrier, she retraced the girl&#039;s steps in the park and stepped into a witch&#039;s labyrinth. She found the missing girl among blank-faced victims marked by a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Kyubey appeared, explained about witches and magical girls, and offered a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Familiars attacked and overwhelmed her despite her karate training. Injured, Akira wished to save all those people, transformed, and destroyed the familiars.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, none of the victims remembered the incident. Kyubey told Akira she needed to defeat the witch itself, which became her destiny as a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a magical girl, Akira patrolled Kamihama investigating witch-related incidents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day, she encountered a familiar without transforming and dropped her Soul Gem. Unable to retrieve it, she fled the barrier and collapsed unconscious outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira woke, Nanaka Tokiwa introduced herself as the magical girl who found her and picked up her Soul Gem. Nanaka advised withdrawing since Akira had collapsed, and Akira reluctantly agreed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Nanaka called asking for a favor. When they met again, Nanaka requested a duel, claiming Akira was weak and should quit hunting witches. Akira refused, citing her family&#039;s dojo, and they dueled. After some fighting, Nanaka ended the duel and apologized. She explained she wanted to test Akira&#039;s resolve and invited her to work together as a team. Akira relented after Nanaka claimed she was troubled and couldn&#039;t fight witches alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present day, Akira returns the cane to the old man and thanks Sasara. She reflects on meeting many magical girls since joining Nanaka and wonders how many exist in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Manaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes Manaka cooking at her family&#039;s failing restaurant, Walnuts. She dreams of following her father&#039;s footsteps as a chef and believes that gaining admission to the prestigious St. Lillianna Academy will help her cook like a high class lady and restore the restaurant&#039;s popularity. Kyubey notes her poor grades make passing unlikely, but Manaka insists this is her father&#039;s last chance and resolves to study.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Manaka Kurumi#Side Story|Manaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the assembly, Manaka begins selling popular bentos at school and works as a visiting chef at St. Lillian every Thursday.

Meanwhile, her father receives invitations to tour as a chef and seems genuinely happy traveling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt; Manaka questions why she even bothered trying.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Manaka finishes selling bentos and keeps one for herself. Sana Futaba rushes in, upset at arriving too late.

Sana accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana promises to arrive earlier tomorrow, but Manaka reveals this may be her last day selling bentos. She admits she thinks she made her restaurant even more obscure, and if she is not helping it, she sees no point in cooking.

Seeing Sana smile gives Manaka new motivation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After contracts of: Kako, Manaka&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A documentary crew follows Ria Ami, whose natural beauty causes crowds to part, though she admits she has no basis for comparison when asked about her challenges. Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ria asks Manaka to be her bodyguard while buying the magazine featuring her article, wearing sunglasses to avoid being seen. Inside, she discovers her article occupies only one page, while Yachiyo has an eight-page spread.

* A few days later, Konoha buys cookware and studies cooking theory, suspecting Hazuki might be a cooking prodigy. She makes a disastrous meal incorporating everything she read, and Hazuki collapses after tasting it. Ayame brings home a flyer for a cooking class at &amp;quot;Youshoku Walnuts,&amp;quot; noting that the food there made Hazuki cry. Ayame encourages Konoha, and Konoha resolves to take the class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Konoha meets the teacher, Manaka Kurumi, at the restaurant. Manaka attempts to teach knife skills and how to crack eggs, but Konoha struggles with both. Manaka promises to help her improve. She has Konoha make practice dishes, but Konoha burns oil, over-dashes rice, and explodes miso soup, so Manaka has to take over each time. When finished, Manaka tastes it, insists it&#039;s good to protect her reputation, eats it all, and passes out. Konoha tries the leftovers and confirms it is truly terrible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha hunts a witch with her team while distracted by thoughts about cooking. After they defeat it, Himika Mao arrives late, introduces herself, and asks if they are sisters; Hazuki explains they are not. Himika mentions she is thirteen with five younger siblings. When Ayame asks about being an older sister, Himika invites her to meet her family. Konoha asks to come as Ayame&#039;s guardian upon learning Himika cooks for her family, and Himika accepts. Hazuki says she will prepare dinner at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, at Himika&#039;s house, Konoha and Ayame observe the cramped living space. Himika explains she uses cheap leftover meat blends from a disposal man to feed her family. She serves dinner, and all her siblings along with Ayame eat. When Konoha asks if the food is tasty, the siblings say they never think it&#039;s bad because Himika does her best. Konoha reflects on Azalea&#039;s House and realizes she was too focused on theory rather than on who she was cooking for. She thanks Himika and leaves with Ayame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, Ayame and Hazuki find Konoha cooking again. Konoha promises to give up if she fails this time. Focusing on her feelings rather than theory, she makes a meal from Azalea&#039;s. Hazuki and Ayame try it and say it&#039;s bad, but it&#039;s edible. Konoha is excited that someone could actually eat her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ayame returns home to find Konoha cooking again. Hazuki observes that Konoha has found joy in the act of cooking. Konoha narrates that she learned cooking is about heart, and could now make food people could finish. She thinks cooking is fun, though Ayame and Hazuki sometimes scream loud enough to startle the neighbors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Konoha attempts beef stroganoff, a dish Hazuki admits is difficult. Hazuki and Ayame try it and collapse. Konoha says she will redo it. She narrates that experience matters, and wonders what to try next.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hazuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame meet with Nanaka, Meiyui, Akira, and Kako at a restaurant to discuss how to handle situations where both teams target the same Witch. Meiyui proposes a first-come, first-served rule, but Hazuki points out it would lead to disputes over who arrived first. Ayame suggests settling conflicts with rock-paper-scissors, and though Meiyui argues there&#039;s no time for games in battle, Hazuki has them try it on the spot. When Ayame and Meiyui play, Meiyui uses a martial arts technique to change Ayame&#039;s hand, causing an argument between the groups. Hazuki calms everyone down and suggests they go home for the day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hazuki Yusa#Side Story|Hazuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls reconvene at the restaurant. Hazuki proposes a new rule: anyone who uses magic against a Witch gains proportional rights to the Grief Seed. Both teams agree, and Hazuki suggests they gather data by hunting together. They split into mixed teams—Ayame and Kako form one; Hazuki, Akira, and Meiyui another and Konoha and Nanaka stand by to help as needed. After the successful joint hunt, Nanaka meets with Hazuki alone at the restaurant. She reveals she believes Hazuki manipulated the entire situation from the first meeting, noting that her team was impressed with Hazuki&#039;s group&#039;s teamwork but that she herself was more struck by Hazuki&#039;s modus operandi. Nanaka asks why Hazuki orchestrated everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki admits she wanted Konoha, who is introverted, to connect with others and that after the Witch fight, Konoha seemed genuinely happy. She explains her goal was simply to build connections between her group and other Kamihama Magical Girls. Nanaka accepts this and says she&#039;s glad to work with her. Later, Hazuki writes in her notebook that Nanaka is shrewd but fascinating, and she resolves to continue reaching out to other Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ayame&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame encounters Felicia during a Witch fight, and their rivalry quickly escalates when Felicia dismisses Ayame&#039;s challenge to lead the girls to argue and accidentally let the Witch escape. Frustrated by losing to Felicia specifically, Ayame confronts her afterward, and despite Kako&#039;s attempts to mediate, the two insist on settling things through some competition. Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch. Emerging back in the park, Felicia thanks Ayame, and they realize the race was never finished. They resume, but Ayame admits she&#039;s fine with not winning and she has come to accept Felicia as a strong rival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ayamess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ayame Mikuri#Side Story|Ayame&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Masara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro gives Masara cookies simply because she wants to, leaving Masara confused by the gesture. Masara flashes back to their first meeting, when Kokoro had blamed herself for being unable to protect others and Masara told her she should not carry that guilt. Kokoro had asked to stay by Masara&#039;s side, explaining that those words had saved her. In the present, Kokoro asks what Masara is thinking about, and when Masara admits she was remembering their first meeting, Kokoro smiles. Masara does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Masara Kagami#Side Story|Masara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara visits Mitama for magical strengthening, bringing many Grief Seeds with her. Mitama notes her unusual enthusiasm, and Masara explains she wants to get stronger in order to find something that might change her life. Mitama suggests she try attending a summer festival and hands her a flyer, but Masara shows no interest. When Mitama brings up Kokoro, mentioning that Kokoro has talked about her, Masara insists they are merely working together, not friends, and finds Kokoro&#039;s expectations troublesome. Mitama claims Masara is actually worried about Kokoro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara reflects on her childhood, remembering how her parents had her swim from a young age. Despite showing talent, she never felt any joy or sense of accomplishment, though she continued hoping it might eventually change. It never did. She became a magical girl thinking her dull life might finally become interesting, but even that eventually grew boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead. The Witch targets Kokoro, and Masara injures herself by blocking the attack. The Witch escapes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro apologizes, but Masara claims she only did what was most logical, since the Witch could not have been defeated alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Masara keeps flashing back to the moment the Witch attacked Kokoro whenever she looks at her injury. The recurring memory bothers her, though she does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Kokoro offers to hunt the Witch again with Masara. Masara flashes back to the previous fight and insists she will hunt it alone. She tells Kokoro she is a burden and that she does not like getting hurt. Masara leaves Kokoro crying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara tells Mitama what happened. Mitama suggests Masara was actually trying to protect Kokoro. Masara is at a loss and wonders why being around Kokoro causes her to get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro blames herself for causing Masara trouble. She senses the same Witch and, respecting Masara&#039;s wish to hunt alone, decides to fight it by herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help. Masara agrees and tells Kokoro to call her next time. When Kokoro worries about causing trouble, Masara insists she is doing it for herself, because she does not like seeing Kokoro get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro asks if she can call Masara during lunch. Masara says she does not care either way. The two go to Mitama&#039;s place together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro notices the summer festival flyer and asks if Masara is interested. Masara admits she is a little interested. Mitama laughs and says they can look forward to the future when there is something or someone important. Kokoro and Masara are confused by her comment, which exasperates Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks to herself that Masara will become stronger now that she has something to protect. For the first time, Masara finds herself thinking about the future, though she does not know why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Konomi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi welcomes Kaede and Kako to the flower shop where she works part-time. She began working at Blossom because the florist once comforted her as a crying child with a single flower, and now Konomi does the same for other children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konomi Haruna#Side Story|Konomi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a customer leaves, Kaede and Kako help the florist carry supplies. The florist recently returned from the hospital, having survived a serious illness. Konomi remembers the day she found an ambulance outside and learned the shop might close. Desperate to help, she wished to Kyubey to cure the florist&#039;s illness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;!--The Flashback: Their First Meeting--&amp;gt;Kaede and Kako visit the shop for the first time. Kako searches for a specific flower, which Konomi identifies. During tea break, Kako explains she read about the flowers in a novel and wants to buy some for a friend&#039;s birthday. Kaede admits she has never given flowers but receiving them once felt wonderful. Konomi smiles and says she has an idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of the flower giveaway, Konomi, Kaede, and Kako take to the streets, suddenly appearing to hand bouquets to strangers before disappearing. A lottery winner, a despairing old man, and a boy who just got a girl&#039;s number all receive flowers. Later, the girls reunite. Kaede gave to ten people, Kako to thirteen. Konomi apologizes, but they agree to try again the day after tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, before their next giveaway, a girl asks Konomi about the Bursting Flower Girl, a rumored figure who appears on Tuesdays and Thursdays to hand out flowers that supposedly sprout mouths. Konomi, Kaede, and Kako realize they are the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi panics, fearing they have made people hate flowers. They notice a little girl crying because her mother refused to buy her a toy ring. Konomi offers a flower, but the girl wants a ring. Kako fashions the flower into a ring, and the girl calls it pretty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi realizes they have been giving flowers without understanding what recipients truly want. She decides to create something more meaningful. Inspired by Kaede&#039;s mention of birthday flowers and Kako&#039;s knowledge of flower language, they plan an arrangement that speaks to people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi and the girls create a birthday cake made of fifty flowers, with chocolate and candy inside. The cake incorporates birth flowers so greetings can be communicated through their language. They prepare a fair at the shop to showcase it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi shows the cake to the florist, who gives a muted reaction and announces her retirement, planning to leave Konomi the shop.

The three girls reveal they are Magical Girls, track down the Witch, and destroy it together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Hinano, Emiri, Ria, Manaka, Akira&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Rika is invited to a blind date by Emiri Kisaki, who brings along Hinano Miyako, a girl recently heartbroken. When the boys on the date mock Hinano&#039;s youthful appearance and odd way of speaking, Rika surprises her by defending them. Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her. Emiri and Rika quickly reassure Hinano, with Rika adding that Hinano is actually cool for having been able to confess her feelings—unlike Rika, who never confessed at all and watched her crush end up with someone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri then suggests Rika should make a wish, revealing that she and Hinano are magical girls who each received one wish in exchange for fighting monsters. Rika wonders if this is some kind of game. Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika muses that her wish was granted and she is now dating her crush, yet she feels deeply unhappy. When Kyubey asks what is wrong, she admits that every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens with unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day, Mayu is a third-year student at Mizuna Academy who works part-time at the Kamihama Contemporary Art Museum. When she accidentally breaks the museum director&#039;s cup, her boss handles the situation calmly and kindly. After work, she meets her friend Sayuki Fumino outside the museum, and when Sayuki cannot stay, Mayu&#039;s boss offers to accompany her to an exhibit instead. They later go to a cafe, where Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi are also present. Ria grows increasingly annoyed overhearing Mayu&#039;s conversation with her boss, particularly when he hints at wanting to take her somewhere else and praises her cooking. At home that evening, Mayu cooks for her mother and asks if her father would have eaten her cooking, wondering what life would be like if he were still alive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayu Kozue#Side Story|Mayu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at school, Mayu talks with Sayuki about the sword exhibit. She then heads to work, and after her shift ends, her boss mentions his wife and child are away and invites her out to eat. Mayu declines. As she leaves, she forgets her phone, and her boss rushes to return it, asking again about dinner with growing intensity. Ria suddenly appears and bumps into him, yelling at them for flirting and demanding they sit for a lecture. Mayu&#039;s boss says she ruined it and leaves. Ria warns Mayu that her sweet, innocent air attracts older men and that if things continue, his family will fall apart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home that night, Mayu reflects on the day she learned of her father&#039;s death and on Ria&#039;s words. Kyubey appears and offers a contract. Thinking she does not want her boss&#039;s family to suffer the same hardship her family did, Mayu makes her wish: to stop his family from breaking apart. That night, she narrates that her boss transferred to a new job, and she is sure her wish was granted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The girls reveal they are Magical Girls, and they track the Witch to the museum&#039;s special exhibit room. Sayuki suddenly appears and reveals she is also a Magical Girl. During the fight, Mayu notices the Witch only targets Ria. She asks Sayuki to lend her strength and launches a surprise attack, destroying the Witch. Afterward, Mayu thinks that to protect people she must think clearly before acting, and Ria admits Mayu was more reliable than usual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As a child, Sayuki attends an idol performance with her parents, but when the crowd becomes dangerously wild, she is almost squeezed to death, leaving her with lasting trauma.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayuki Fumino#Side Story|Sayuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Growing up in a happy family, Sayuki develops a deep interest in katanas that creates a gap between her and her classmates. Though they respect her passion, she feels lonely without someone to share it with. This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert. Sayuki believes speaking out is important no matter the outcome and swears to protect the kind people who have been kind to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka. Moka thanks Alina for saving her and says she has now made new friends, resolving to devote herself to exterminating witches and admitting she is only a little afraid of them now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Riko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Sis = Miss K. Check what Exedra says&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Years ago, Riko spent her childhood with a cheerful older neighbor girl she called &amp;quot;Sis&amp;quot; while her parents worked long hours at their family bento shop. They grew as close as sisters until Sis became engaged to marry someone far away. When Sis&#039;s father suddenly opposed the match despite approving it before, Riko wished upon Kyubey that everyone would give their blessings to the marriage. Her wish worked, and Sis moved away happily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Riko Chiaki#Side Story|Riko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Riko struggles with loneliness waiting alone at home while her parents work overtime. One night, after they call to say they cannot return until after midnight due to a huge order, years of broken promises finally overwhelm her. She snaps, calls them liars who were never there for her like Sis was, and tells them she hates them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko goes Witch hunting to vent her stress but nearly dies against a stronger Witch. In that moment, despair crushes her and she wishes she had never made her wish so Sis would still be there. Tsukasa, a regular at her family&#039;s shop, finds her crying and listens as Riko confides everything about her feelings and what happened with Sis. Speaking from experience, Tsukasa tells her that separation is no excuse for broken contact and recommends she reach out to Sis directly. Riko messages Sis that night before falling asleep exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sis replies promptly. She explains she wanted to contact Riko but left home after arguing with her father and thought a visit would be awkward. She also reveals she was hospitalized to give birth and only discharged that day, inviting Riko to come see her instead. When Riko asks her parents for permission, expecting them to refuse, they apologize sincerely and grant permission for the trip.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Riko visits Sis with her parents. Sis introduces her husband and newborn daughter, hoping Riko will get along with her child just as they once got along. Riko makes a silent promise to be a good sister to this baby and aims to grow into a fine lady, just like Sis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maria&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Maria bids her parents goodbye for the day. Her mother gives her money for dinner, which Maria insists on keeping only a small portion of, and Maria mentions she will be at her part‑time daycare job after school. On her way to school, she runs into two little girls, one of whom attends the daycare where she works.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the daycare, the children swarm Maria with requests. She notices a boy named Shin‑kun looking down and tries to find out what is wrong, but he does not want to talk. Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work. Maria suggests she spend a day with Shin to reconnect, and Shin’s mother agrees. Maria promises to put together a plan by the weekend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Maria’s classmates tease her about being a widow with a love child, and she plays along before explaining she is helping a mother and son from the daycare. Later she presents her weekend plans to Shin’s mother, who is impressed and begins looking forward to the outing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, Maria goes to the park where she knows Shin and his mother should be. She watches as they struggle to connect: Shin wants to play in a fountain, but his mother cannot explain why he should not, and they end up standing awkwardly. Maria pretends to run into them and decides to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to the playground, where Maria encourages Shin to try a tightrope bridge. When he gets nervous, she prompts his mother to take his hand, and together they cross. After lunch, Shin’s mother gets a call from work asking her to come in on her day off. She agrees, and Shin looks heartbroken. Maria offers to watch Shin until dark, and his mother gratefully accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria takes Shin to various places, and he sadly remarks that his mother is too busy for him. Understanding his loneliness, Maria vows to make the day special. At the aquarium she convinces him to see a show he ends up loving. As evening falls, they stop for takoyaki, and Maria explains that his mother tells him not to eat while walking for good reasons. Shin finally understands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shin’s mother appears, explaining work no longer needs her. She admits she has trouble expressing herself, but Shin overhears and hugs her. They both confess they thought the other did not love them. Maria shares that she was often lonely as a child but still loved her parents, and she tells Shin’s mother she does not need to be perfect. Shin shows his mother the souvenir and the last piece of takoyaki he saved for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As darkness falls, Maria walks home alone. She reflects on whether she could ever be a good mother, remembering Kyubey’s revelation that her Soul Gem is her actual soul and her body is merely a vessel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mel&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mel stays home after her reading warns of lethal danger, but Kanagi dismisses her concerns and drags her to school anyway. On the way, a Witch targets only Mel before escaping, and a possessed car then attempts to run her down. She flees west into the Mizuno region, where Yachiyo saves her. Despite Kanagi&#039;s warnings about discrimination from the West, Yachiyo&#039;s kindness puts her at ease, and Mel accepts her invitation to stay. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she requests to join Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kanagi gives permission. From that day, Mel bonds with Mifuyu, Tsuruno, and Momoko as part of her new team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One other day, Mel arrives excitedly with entirely positive readings and offers to read the team&#039;s fortunes. Despite Yachiyo&#039;s skepticism, Mel coaxes her into a session predicting a career breakthrough.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Yachiyo announces with disbelief that she was chosen for a nationwide magazine feature on Kamihama&#039;s cafes. Mifuyu and Momoko then receive positive readings about a matchmaking and exam results.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes. Afterward they visit Mitama, who suggests they train in Endless Mirrors if they plan to remain independent rather than join Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Temari and Mikura commute to school exhausted. Temari stayed up testing a new metal pen, and Mikura correctly guesses she is in modern literature mode.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Temari is distracted thinking about Witch strategies while Mikura worries about Seira, who had fallen asleep in class from exhaustion. Seira joins them, and Temari suggests they create their own space to escape the stress of magical girl life. Seira proposes forming a school club where they can pursue their hobbies freely, and they agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Seira secures an empty classroom as a provisional club room under the name Historical Research Club. On paper they study history, but in reality it becomes their oasis for reading, watching films, and relaxing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the girls are enjoying their club activities, yet Temari still feels unsettled about not knowing her magic. Mikura reflects that they have been following Temari’s suggestions lately—staying independent, creating the club—but says she will mention it if she notices anything. When Mikura asks what Temari is reading, Temari replies she is still on the same author, and Mikura calls her as unpredictable as ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Hotori&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Last part is after the tea drinking moon party&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hotori and her twin Rion prepare for a school camping trip. Hotori gets distracted watching her favorite sentai show, Dragoon Red, and Rion teases her for still liking children’s fantasy. Hotori wants to bring her notebook of heroic quotes, but Rion tells her not to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At camp, Hotori’s group hikes through the forest. She is frightened by insects, and when Rion appears and drives her friends away, Hotori ends up scolded for letting her sister interfere. Reading quotes from her heroes, she manages to calm herself and finishes the hike feeling she has changed a little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During archery, Hotori struggles to pull the bowstring but remembers Dragoon Red’s words about perseverance and manages to shoot. Rion performs better, but Hotori’s friends cheer her up. Rion later mentions the night’s test of courage, and though Hotori is scared, she refuses to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

There Hotori realizes she left her notebook behind; Rion goes back to retrieve it but does not return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotori lies to the teachers and searches the forest. She finds Kyubey, who offers her a contract: any wish in exchange for becoming a magical girl who fights witches. When she finds Rion acting strangely, Kyubey explains Rion has a witch’s kiss. Rion enters a witch’s barrier, and Hotori follows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Terrified but thinking of Dragoon Red’s words, Hotori makes her wish: “I wish to be a hero strong enough to protect Rion.” She defeats the witch alone, saves Rion, and is relieved when her sister wakes up safe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Months later, Hotori now fights witches with a team. During one battle she freezes and is saved by Rion and Yukika Nanase. Yukika asks about Hotori’s notebook, and Hotori explains she wants to be brave like the sentai heroes. Yukika privately knows the truth from another timeline: the twins’ memories were altered by Rion’s wish, and Hotori’s original wish may have been to become strong enough to protect Rion. Hotori, unaware, continues striving to be a hero.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Riko’s parents give Ashley croquettes as thanks. Watching Riko with her family makes Ashley homesick. She confides that her mother is an actress who often visited Japan, sparking Ashley’s love for kawaii culture. Her father opposed her studying abroad without explanation, so Ashley wished for his approval with Kyubey and became a magical girl. She feels guilty about it now. Riko suggests she make a vlog of her time in Kamihama to show her father how happy she is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ashleyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ashley Taylor#Side Story|Ashley&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Ikumi explains how in middle school she dreamed of becoming an idol despite lacking talent, while her friend Yumi dreamed of volleyball. They realized they could fulfill each other&#039;s dreams instead. Yumi became a volleyball ace while Ikumi pursued idol training, though she struggled because her natural personality kept slipping through her cutesy act and she failed to gain recognition. Kyubey repeatedly offered her a contract, but she refused because wishing for her dream would mean she never achieved it through hard work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In high school, Ikumi worked at a school-organized maid cafe that gave struggling students performance opportunities. Though other girls were scouted for idol work and customers called her old-fashioned, she built a small fanbase. When the cafe was forced to close due to building eviction, Ikumi grieved alone on the final night. Kyubey appeared and reminded her that her wish didn&#039;t have to be for her own dream. Thinking of how much the cafe meant to her and others who dreamed there, she wished for it to continue running.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her wish came true when the landowner, moved by the final performance, sold the cafe to the school who remodeled and reopened it. Later, while fighting a witch, Ikumi was saved by another magical girl who turned out to be Yumi. Yumi revealed she had wished for someone to recognize Ikumi&#039;s talents and give her an idol chance. The two teamed up and spent a happy year together hunting witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day they encountered a powerful witch who badly injured Yumi&#039;s leg, threatening her sports scholarship. In despair, Yumi unleashed her doppel. Ryo appeared and helped them escape, and Mitama later explained about doppels. Soon after, Mifuyu approached them with a healer who restored Yumi&#039;s leg. Mifuyu explained about witches and the Wings of Magius, who aimed to liberate magical girls from this fate. Ikumi immediately joined, grateful for Yumi&#039;s healing and hating the thought of losing her dream or becoming a witch. Yumi eventually joined too, and Mifuyu introduced them as Black Feathers to Ryo, who recognized Ikumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Ryo thanks Ikumi for her story and suggests she stop forcing the idol personality since she naturally slips out of it anyway.

** Akari explains that she has always loved Haruto, but he treats her only as a little sister. When Haruto entered high school, he stopped walking with her due to club activities. Akari heard a rumor that Haruto was dating his club manager. Distressed, she wished to Kyubey to become 16 years old like Mimiko-chan, the transforming heroine she admired.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Akari ran into Haruto while patrolling. Haruto was looking for the 16-year-old girl. Akari became jealous and badmouthed her 16-year-old self, calling her suspicious and a liar. Haruto got angry at Akari for speaking ill of someone she did not know. Akari ran away, feeling she was not worthy of him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hotaru revealed she had been watching over Akari since the bunny hutch. She told Akari that her kindness was one of her good points. Akari realized the 16-year-old version Haruto fell for was still a part of her. Hotaru encouraged her to apologize properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari, still in her 16-year-old form, lied to Haruto that she had taken Akari under her protection. Haruto was relieved and admitted he was too harsh with Akari. He said he did not want her to become someone who speaks ill of others. Akari apologized to Haruto in person. Haruto forgave her and said he was proud of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari resolved to become a wonderful adult on her own, without magic, and capture Haruto&#039;s heart when she was truly 16. She thanked Hotaru for giving her the push to apologize but Hotaru fell asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ryoko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryoko’s story begins at Suitoku Temple, the Tokime Tribe’s base, which was slated for demolition while officials hid the harm it would cause.

===Kush&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama’s adjuster shop, Karin Misono finds Kush sleeping inside the tent. Mitama explains that Kush cannot stay awake during the day due to her wish: “I just want the morning to never come.” Kush reveals she made her wish because she longed to live in a fantasy world like the one in her favorite book, &#039;Good‑Bye Fable,&#039; and her magical girl outfit resembles the story’s protagonist. Ui Tamaki and Little Kyubey arrive, and Kush briefly attacks Little Kyubey, mistaking him for the Kyubey she despises. Over tea, Mitama notices Kush’s long canine teeth stained red and later receives a message from her sister Mikage about a rumor of a vampire girl in the Hokuyo Mountains. Karin and Kush agree to investigate together, but Kush runs off to her night class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kush can see in the dark and leads them, but she is still sleepy. They find a discarded camera containing a video of Rui Mizuki dropping it and disappearing. When a mysterious sound frightens the others, they accidentally leave Kush behind. Left alone, Kush eats cherry tomatoes and senses a witch. The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one. They also learn that Rui is Kush’s friend; she had filmed Kush entering the barrier before being caught by it. The group later glimpses a white‑haired silhouette and flees, thinking a real vampire might exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley posts a video warning others to stay away from the mountains. At Mitama’s shop, Ui hears about the incident and learns the vampire was just a misunderstanding.

===Homura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Homura Akemi in Magia Record#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;

* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart.

Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** &#039;&#039;&#039;Second Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They are back at the beginning, wearing their kimonos. They see their past selves from the first loop. The same mission appears—reunite the twins. They meet Tsukasa again, who remembers them from before and is confused by their kimono change. Madoka tells Tsukasa where Tsukuyo is, but Tsukasa runs off before Madoka can explain she should wait. They try to find Tsukasa but fail. The mission fails again, and they are sent back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Third Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes: buy a lucky bag costing one million Magica. They search for a store and take a break at a cafe. They see Ria being interviewed and overhear a boy named Hayato saying he needs a warmer scarf. They find Kokoro and Masara, who lead them to a stationery lucky bag. Kokoro mentions Tsukasa is still looking for Tsukuyo. Madoka wants to help Tsukasa, and Homura agrees. They find Tsukuyo, who has been wandering and dropped something important. They learn Tsukuyo dropped her exchange diary with Tsukasa—the same notebook Aimi found. The mission completes, but they are sent back to the start again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes again: help a child who lost something. They find Tsukuyo waiting. She dropped the exchange diary. Homura and Madoka take her to the Information Desk to reclaim it. Madoka remembers Tsukasa was last seen near a specific area. They wait there and finally reunite the twins. They also tell Aimi that Hayato wants a warm scarf. Everyone ends up happy. Homura and Madoka reach the goal without regrets. Homura reflects that she does not want the dream to last longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka learns the meaning of &amp;quot;When winter comes, spring isn&#039;t far behind&amp;quot; at the end of December. Just before New Year&#039;s Eve, Madoka asks if anyone has plans for the holiday. Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko and Nagisa meet the teacher and children at the park. The kids immediately recognize Kyoko, so the pair double down on the movie lie. The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the performance, Kyoko and Sayaka use quick‑change costumes while Nagisa sneaks discarded clothes off set. The children are awed by the glowing weapons and effects, explained with lighting tricks and soap bubbles. After the class leaves, the group reviews the footage and decides to keep a copy. Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko returns the props to Sayuki, then visits an aquarium to pass time. As she leaves, she spots the same kindergarteners, detects a witch, and rushes to fight it. She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She is hunting for discounted Valentine&#039;s chocolate. She visits Sugar Plum but finds the chocolate coins sold out. She runs into Kyoko. They keep encountering each other at multiple stores and realize they are both after the same Valentine&#039;s Day exclusive Pink Tapir chocolate coins. They form an alliance to share information and split the chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe (Valentine)#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Valentine Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Pink Tapir station store, a clerk informs them the sale has moved to a new outlet location and gives them a map. On the way, a delivery truck carrying the chocolate coins is possessed by a Witch&#039;s Kiss and goes on a rampage. Nagisa and Kyoko chase it, jump onto the truck, and enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Nagisa uses her forbidden technique to defeat the Witch. The truck and other vehicles are unharmed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the outlet store and buy the chocolate coins. Nagisa reflects on her memory of eating Pink Tapir chocolate coins for the first time at a hospital charity event when her mother was sick. She wonders if this universe&#039;s Nagisa would have had the same experience. She and Kyoko hurry to Mami&#039;s chocolate party. Kyoko reveals she bought a chocolate cake from Sugar Plum for everyone. Nagisa shares her pink chocolate coins. Mami is happy they are getting along. The next day, the chocolate hunt continues. At the outlet store, Ms. Saotome buys chocolate coins for a hospital charity event, continuing the tradition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ria, Mayu, and Manaka give the sisters their rented beach space, and the sisters end up spending the day with Team Yachiyo in a water pistol shooting match. They have more fun than they expected, but Tsukuyo suffers a heat stroke and is cared for by the group after Tsukasa panics. When Tsukasa tries to repay the favor, Yachiyo jokes that she should quit the Wings of Magius, then smiles when Tsukasa refuses as expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Miyako’s team wins after Yachiyo avoids stepping on a rare hermit crab, but everyone agrees Tsukasa has repaid her debt, and the sisters admit they had a wonderful time. They end the day drinking juice Yachiyo bought for them and buying matching crescent moon accessories in different colors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo announces that everyone must complete ten pages of homework per subject per day before they can play.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rena &amp;amp; Kaede (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena negotiates with Yachiyo: if they can finish all three days&#039; worth of homework in one day, they can play at the beach tomorrow. Everyone agrees. They study hard together. Rena suggests a reward system to stay motivated. They shout encouragement like at an idol concert. Yachiyo and Momoko help with difficult problems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Rena, Kaede, and Momoko finally play at the beach. Mitama, Kanagi, and Mifuyu visit. Mitama has brought homemade rice balls as a reward. To decide who gets them, they hold a fishing contest. Rena and Kaede catch a pufferfish but come in second place. Kanagi wins first place and gets stuck with Mitama&#039;s cooking. Mifuyu is affected first. Rena and Kaede eat the remaining Mitama musubi and feel sick. They rest for the rest of the afternoon. Yachiyo goes shopping alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Rena and Kaede notice Yachiyo acting strange. They follow her and find her with fireworks. Yachiyo admits she bought them for everyone but felt too shy to ask.

Momoko reflects on how much they have changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They browse swimsuits, but Mitama insists on choosing thoughtfully rather than buying on a whim. They separate briefly, and Mitama runs into Mikage, deflecting questions about what she’s doing. Momoko later admits she also had to make excuses after running into Rena and Kaede. Instead of buying swimsuits, Mitama brings Momoko back for an adjustment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On contest day, Mitama and Momoko play on the beach. They learn the contest requires performing a shared beach memory with chemistry.

While playing, they fight a Witch together—the first time Mitama has teamed up with someone—then run straight into Rena, Kaede, and Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

A crowd gathers, muttering rumors, but Momoko defends Mitama and the crowd disperses. The girl realizes it was an accident and offers to help clear Mitama’s name, but Mitama declines, saying she no longer needs it because she has someone who believes in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

Madoka recognizes Himari’s name and, with her friends’ help, finds the old woman from the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The old woman and the photographer meet; the photographer confesses her guilt over their childhood fight, but the woman explains Himari never mentioned any quarrel—her illness suddenly worsened that day. The two women reconcile, and both thank Madoka for bringing them together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond. Madoka reflects that the thing she could only do here was to reunite the two women and give them peace. Her friends call her for one last swim, and she runs off to join them, already thinking of returning to the island someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story and Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
It has two versions I made, assimilate them if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomuradsSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

** At registration, Mitama announces all participants must wear swimwear, offering to transform their outfits for free. Homura is surprisingly excited, and Sayaka gets roped into wearing a ridiculous mushroom‑mermaid costume designed by Kanoko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many familiar magical girls attend as participants or catering staff. Hazuki reveals her hatred of worms, Konoha faints from watching bait wriggle, and various mishaps begin piling up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka in her costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The non‑waterproof suit causes Sayaka to be electrocuted by its built‑in fan, but her Doppel activates and saves her. The Doppel drags Yachiyo into the water, and Yachiyo begins water‑skiing using her fishing rod while being pulled around.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura manages to fish up the Doppel and wins the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other&#039;s backs. Homura happily agrees, ending the day on a warm note.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Homura confronts her Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying summer and relying on Madoka’s kindness. The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurads&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura visit a seaside villa on the outskirts of Kamihama. They meet Felicia and her friends briefly. After parting ways, they decide to visit an aquarium. They participate in an accessory-making workshop using star sand. Inside the aquarium, they meet Ashley, an exchange student from the United States, and Riko. Ashley recognizes them as Magical Girls from Mitakihara because she encountered their copies in Endless Mirrors. They chat and learn Ashley is making videos about kawaii things in Japan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Waverider)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After parting ways with Ashley and Riko, Sayaka wants to visit a CD store. She hopes to find rare CDs for Kyosuke. At the store, she reaches for the same CD as a woman. They discover they both use notepads to track CDs. The woman is Takamine&#039;s wife—Takamine was a violinist who passed away. She collects his recordings to show her daughter. They exchange contact information. Sayaka mentions the upcoming flea market.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Sayaka, Madoka, Homura, Mami, Kyoko, and Nagisa visit the flea market together. They meet Ashley and Riko again. They split into groups. Sayaka and Kyoko go together. They eat lunch and shaved ice. Ashley records their conversation. Madoka and Homura leave early for Witch patrol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka&#039;s group meets Takamine&#039;s wife and daughter. A strong wind blows the daughter&#039;s hat into the ocean. Sayaka and Kyoko transform into swimsuits and ride a surfboard to retrieve it, using Nagisa&#039;s floaty as a distraction. The hat is recovered. Takamine&#039;s wife realizes she lost her notepad. Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while waiting, Nagisa and Riko play with water guns. Sayaka&#039;s group relaxes on the beach. Madoka and Homura find Sayaka&#039;s copy in Mirrors. The copy lures them into a trap, but they manage to get the CD list from her and escape. They send it to Sayaka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Takamine&#039;s wife identifies the CDs she was looking for. Sayaka buys a souvenir for Kyosuke. They enjoy the rest of the day at the beach.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Mami&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, Homura, Madoka, and Sayaka fight a Witch. They rescue a taxi driver who was captured. He is confused but fine. They help him find his car. Afterward, Homura feels bad for failing to finish off the Witch. Mami suggests they have a review meeting at her place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring. They plan for future fights: Sayaka will handle Familiars, Madoka and Homura will immobilize the Witch, and Mami will finish it off. Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the team encounters a paramedic and a girl under a Witch&#039;s influence. They enter the Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. The paramedic wakes up and thanks them and the team slips away quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of school after summer vacation, Mami calls Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura to the roof. Kyoko and Nagisa fought a powerful Witch and retreated. They warn the others and the team meets to plan. Kyoko and Nagisa will immobilize the Witch while Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura handle the Familiars. Mami will finish it off with her new firework attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The ext morning, the Witch appears and the team executes their plan. Mami uses a powerful firework attack, which she names &amp;quot;Fiore Finale,&amp;quot; to defeat the Witch. They rescue the captured people. A paramedic from earlier recognizes them and offers to take care of the victims. The team rushes to school but is late.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A taxi driver from the previous encounter sees them and gives them a ride. He thanks them for protecting the town. They arrive at school just in time. Mami is glad her hard work paid off and feels happy to be thanked. She looks forward to continuing to protect the town with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko invites Homura, Mami, Sayaka, and Madoka to the beach using tickets Mitama gave her after another accidental transformation into her magical swimsuit. The group swims, then Kyoko dominates the buffet. They discover a cliff diving spot, where Sayaka, Mami, and Kyoko take turns jumping while Madoka and Homura watch. They agree to return the day after next, since Madoka is busy the following day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kyoko asks Mitama to let her keep the swimsuit form for the summer, then heads to the beach alone. There she finds Ui Tamaki practicing swimming by herself, desperate to learn by the next day so she can join her family cliff diving. Kyoko watches over her, and later Sayaka arrives to help. Ui improves, but a rip current nearly sweeps her away; Kyoko rescues her. Moved by Ui’s determination, Kyoko keeps training her until sunset, and Ui finally masters swimming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully. Later, Kyoko visits Mitama to revert her outfit, explaining she wants to learn swimming properly rather than relying on magic. She trades a Grief Seed for money to buy ramune as payment for a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Eternal Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Momoko Togame (Sanctified)#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;

===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi meet again. Mitama shares her realization: her grief has ended. She now wants to make amends and carve a new future for Kamihama. They discuss ideas for the student conference. Kanagi suggests a sports festival. Mitama suggests a festival with food stalls. They joke about romance and love interests. Mitama feels lighter and ready to move forward. She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;

===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at the Wings of Magius, Alina asks Nemu to create a rumor for her. She will let it grow, then take it into herself and use it to achieve her greatest goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the real world, Tsuruno gives gelato to Ui and Felicia. Ui is absorbed in playing a game called &amp;quot;Little Vacation&amp;quot; on Tsuruno&#039;s phone. The game follows Tsuruno and Felicia as Reindeer Santas traveling to reach the End of the World and the Wishing Star.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia (Special Delivery)#Side Story|Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno uses the Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a hint: &amp;quot;The key is something you don&#039;t know the importance of until it&#039;s gone. This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The girls encourage Tsuruno and Felicia to leave since they were not originally trapped. Tsuruno and Felicia walk out easily. They promise to return once they find a way to free everyone. They leave, having failed to deliver smiles for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Town of Miraculous ☆ Prestidigitations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the next town. They meet Mitama, a magician performing tricks, and twins Rion and Hotori. Mitama attempts to teleport Hotori but accidentally duplicates her. There are now two Hotoris. Tsuruno and Felicia try to help. The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win. The duplicates are left behind. The single Tsuruno who lost is left alone without Reindeer-san #2 or the Okamochi Box. She decides to continue traveling anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; The three Tsurunos reunite and discuss the hints from the Okamochi Box. They realize &amp;quot;three heads are better than one&amp;quot; refers to them working together to solve the Maze Town puzzle. They also realize the key in Maze Town was a &amp;quot;smile&amp;quot;—something Ren had lost along the way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game.

===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents. Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia return home and ask to hear the full story, so Yachiyo retrieves the scarf from the time capsule where she had hidden it years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Mami has tea with Touka and Alina at a house rented for her by Touka. Mami explains she has not returned to Mitakihara because her priority is releasing magical girls. Touka and Alina offer to lecture her on what she needs to study. Alina grows disturbingly excited discussing van Gogh&#039;s Sunflowers, and Touka lectures at length on mathematics until Alina interrupts. Mami reassures them she will ask for help when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina receives a call from the Amane sisters requesting help with a Witch. Touka asks Mami to assist, explaining she has a lecture to give at noon to recruit skilled magical girls. Mami agrees, reflecting that releasing magical girls requires Grief Seeds, protecting Rumors, and raising Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane waiting for her. They explain the Witch has moved and the Black Feathers are monitoring it. A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren plan for their friends’ Christmas party a week away and promise to spend Christmas Eve together. While looking at options in a magazine, they cannot decide on a place. Ren buys the magazine to think it over, privately hoping to choose somewhere that will make Rika happy, though she doubts whether she truly belongs beside her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ren visits Emiri’s consultation room but finds only Akira and Ria Ami. She explains her dilemma, and Ria takes her around town to evaluate possible locations. They rule out a restaurant, an amusement park, and a romantic cafe, eventually settling on the Minagi Aquarium. Ria is surprised to learn Ren is planning an outing with Rika, not a boyfriend, but Ren leaves feeling confident in her choice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Christmas Eve, Rika attends a party with her school friends. When she mentions she will spend Christmas Eve at the aquarium with a friend, her friends press to join, but Rika refuses. She advises them not to look for boyfriends just to avoid being alone. Later, while walking with her friends, Rika spots Ren chasing after Aimi Eri. She follows and finds Ren comforting Aimi over a misunderstanding involving a boy; the situation resolves without trouble.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Ren waits for Rika, who messages that she overslept with a fever. Ren worries Rika became sick chasing after her the day before. Before she can reply, Aimi finds her, and they go shopping together. Aimi encourages Ren to visit Rika instead of staying apart. Ren goes to Rika’s house, knocks on her window, and insists they spend Christmas together there so Rika can rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They exchange gifts: Ren gives Rika scented candles, having noticed Rika’s interest from a sticky note, and Rika gives Ren a glass candlestick. Rika hopes they can visit the aquarium another time, and Ren leaves happy to have shared Christmas with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, assimilate them if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumor Tsuruno begins designing the park, adding a merry-go-round, roller coaster, spa, shops, and a cafe. The mascots warn that once the park is complete, she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world. Rumor Tsuruno claims no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she imagines comfort foods with hot pot as the main star, she is reminded of Mikazuki Villa. She brushes it off and completes the park. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Uwasa Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana looks at a Mr. Purrs-a-lot picture book and feels down. Ui notices and asks what is wrong. Sana admits she wants to become a picture book author to help people who are suffering like she once was. She has many ideas but does not know how to write them. Ui encourages her. Sana says she is starting from zero and needs to practice writing. Ui suggests she settle on one main idea. Sana recalls a story about the Rice God from Yachiyo and decides to write a practice story about it.&lt;br /&gt;

* Sana and Ui discuss the main character. Sana models her after Ai, the Uwasa of the Anonymous A.I. She names the heroine Aoi. Sana writes the first part of the story: Aoi leaves the &amp;quot;Land of Beginnings&amp;quot; and arrives at the &amp;quot;Land of Blessings,&amp;quot; where residents constantly fight. Aoi suggests a picnic to help them understand each other. The residents grow closer. Ui enjoys the story. Sana reveals she wants to leave behind proof of Ai&#039;s existence before she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana asks Nemu for permission to use a character modelled after Ai in her picture book. Nemu agrees, saying she is happy Sana wishes to preserve Ai. Nemu advises Sana on how to become a published author: enter contests or approach publishers directly. Sana becomes discouraged when she realizes she would have to interact with people who cannot see her. She leaves feeling hopeless.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana wanders alone, feeling invisible. She helps a girl find a lost ring but is not noticed. She thinks her dream is impossible. Tsuruno, Felicia, and Ui find her, worried because she was not answering calls. Iroha and Yachiyo also arrive. Nemu calls and suggests Sana could use an agent to communicate with publishers, avoiding direct meetings. Sana regains her resolve. Yachiyo tells her not to give up on her dream. Iroha and the others promise to support her. Sana realizes she has a family to help her get back up.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana finishes her first picture book, &amp;quot;A Small Encounter.&amp;quot; The story follows Shana, an invisible girl who is found by Aoi and makes her first friend.

===Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 1 (Flashback/Reflection)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi wakes from a nap and remembers the dream she had when fused with the Kimochi. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words that helped her realize she had not truly given up. Iroha told her that those who have given up do not fight, and that Lavi came to Kamihama because she still wanted to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro (Kimochi)#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects on the hope she once held—a daydream of a peaceful life where magical girls are understood. In that dream, she helped her mother, tended fields with her grandfather, watched Urara&#039;s street performances, and attended exhibitions with Shirogane. She encountered other magical girls: Asahi, Haitani, Kuroda, Urara, and Alexandra. They fought witches together and enjoyed everyday moments. Lavi realized she had locked away this hope because remembering it was painful. But now, through her connection with Iroha and her time with Nayuta, she has begun to see the future again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 2 (Daydream/Desired Future)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi dreams of a happy future where the Automatic Purification System has spread and peace has come. She, Nayuta, and Mikage go on a trip to Yukuni. They encounter many acquaintances: Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and Mikazuki Villa. Due to a scheduling mistake, everyone arrives at the same inn on the same day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** There is not enough premium beef for dinner. The groups compete in hot spring table tennis, karaoke, and pillow fights to decide who gets the meat. Yuna cheats in table tennis and is disqualified. The karaoke machine is outdated. The pillow fight becomes chaotic. Asahi saves the day with gibier meat. Everyone shares the meal and enjoys the evening together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects that this bustling, noisy future is unlike her usual self, but she realizes she has been yearning for it deep down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 3 (Reality/Current Time)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi teaches Nayuta cooking. They discuss their futures: Nayuta wants to study magical girls at a university different from her father&#039;s. Lavi wants to help at her family&#039;s inn while spreading magical girl activities. They plan a trip with Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Upon arriving at Cradle of the Earth in Yukuni, they encounter Mikazuki Villa, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and the Tokime Clan—just as in Lavi&#039;s dream. There is again not enough meat for dinner. Lavi is overwhelmed but also excited. She realizes that even if the past cannot be undone, they can move forward together and create a bright future. She announces they will compete over the meat and create a new future with all of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Yachiyo wakes at Mikazuki Villa and briefly senses Iroha&#039;s magical signature before it disappears. She sends Felicia and Sana off to school, then meets Momoko, Rena, and Kaede for lunch. Rena confesses she screamed in class, unable to contain her frustration that everyone has forgotten Iroha. Yachiyo realizes she had convinced herself she accepted Iroha&#039;s disappearance but had actually just given up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo meets with Mifuyu, Kanagi, and Hinano to discuss Magical Girls&#039; declining mental states. That evening, she finds Sana&#039;s discarded picture book manuscript.

* Yachiyo attends the Kamihama Student Conference results meeting, where Mifuyu notes Rena has improved since seeing Iroha&#039;s signature. Yachiyo receives a call from Tsuruno: Felicia has run away. That evening, Felicia calls, planning to leave Kamihama to escape her guilt. Yachiyo tracks her location and rushes to the station with Tsuruno. Tsuruno finds Felicia, who confesses she cannot forget Iroha. Tsuruno shares Yachiyo&#039;s message: they should say &amp;quot;thank you&amp;quot; rather than &amp;quot;I&#039;m sorry.&amp;quot; Felicia agrees and returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome and Aru lead Yachiyo and Felicia to a location near the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Iroha&#039;s presence is stronger. Yachiyo suggests a picnic there. She leaves for a magazine interview, where she admits Iroha is no longer by her side. Later at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo attempts to make Iroha&#039;s hamburger steak recipe but is overwhelmed by grief and retreats to her room, admitting she fears she is breaking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane complain about being overworked as guardians of a Rumor and fear the anger of Touka, Alina, and Nemu. They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - A Taste of Hospitality|A Taste of Hospitality]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko and Ashley help Mitama film a video about her Coordinator services, whre she explains that she adjusts Soul Gems to draw out hidden potential, that she sees memories during adjustments but keeps them confidential, and that she also sells items for Magical Girls. As payment for the video, Riko gives Mitama an origami dog (Mameji) and Ashley gives her blue candy from her home, both of which Mitama puts in a box.&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, Mitama receives many gifts from Magical Girls, including Kokoro, Reira, Mito, Felicia, Ayame, Kako, Yachiyo, Karin, Himika, Rika and Emiri, the last of whom says that when people share their favorite things, it means they want to share what they love with Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama hums happily, which Momoko and Kanagi notice and feel a bad omen. Mitama announces that she wants to share what she loves with everyone and that she plans a party with food that she will cook. She asks Momoko and Kanagi to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;

===Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin===&lt;br /&gt;

* One winter’s day before Christmas, Rika and Ren go shopping together. The town has no Christmas decorations and people seem depressed. They hear a distressed voice and find Mitama, wearing a Santa&#039;s beard and hat, and she introduces herself as a Christmas Spirit. Mitama says her job is to make everyone happy, but the task is too big. She gives Rika and Ren some of her magic, explaining that the magic requires them to be perfectly attuned to each other, and then she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, a swallow Familiar appears, claiming to be Mitama’s pupil and Rika names him Chirpie. Chirpie explains that Mitama saved him when he fell from his nest and gave him magic. He can sense cowardly hearts lacking courage and Rika and Ren must drive out ten cowardly hearts to make the town happy. Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chirpie leads them to Felicia and Sana, who had accidentally smashed a cake and are now arguing about who should apologize to Yachiyo. Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;

** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 14th:&#039;&#039;&#039; On Valentine&#039;s Day, Tsuruno gives beautifully wrapped chocolates to Iroha, Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana and Ui at Mikazuki Villa. Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rise of the Waning Moon===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Rise of the Waning Moon|Rise of the Waning Moon]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day during lunch break, Kanagi goes to Himika’s classroom, telling her she just wanted to see her face, which Himika finds strange.&lt;br /&gt;
** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

* Hinano and Emiri attend a chemistry event. Hinano is excited to see a chemist who reminds her of the woman she idolized as a child—a tall, long-legged lady who taught fun chemistry experiments. Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;

The relative needs help cleaning the hotel pool because the usual staff are sick. Yachiyo hesitates due to her modeling schedule. The girls offer to help. Yachiyo calls back and confirms they will come.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group arrives at the hotel and Yachiyo&#039;s relative, an older woman, greets them warmly. She says she used to hang out with Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river. Tsuruno and Felicia compete to see who can clean faster, inventing names for their techniques. Yachiyo scolds them for being inefficient. They eventually work together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha slips and falls but is not hurt. Felicia sprays Yachiyo with the hose and Yachiyo chases her. After a few hours, they finish cleaning. The relative rewards them with fluffy shaved ice.&lt;br /&gt;
** The pool is now clean and filled with water. The girls swim and play. Tsuruno and Felicia bring water guns and spray Yachiyo. Yachiyo chases them and gets out of the pool to walk upstream, eventually catching them. They all have fun.&lt;br /&gt;

Tsuruno volunteers the group to help until the staff arrives. Yachiyo worries they might cause trouble, but Iroha, Ui, and Sana want to try. They agree to help. Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the next day, the group arrives at the pool for opening day. Yachiyo handles reception. The ticket scanner malfunctions and a line forms. Mitama appears—she had plans with Iroha that were canceled. She offers to help and fixes the scanner by hitting it. The staff member returns and takes over.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama notices Yachiyo has something on her mind and suggests she talk to someone she trusts. Iroha later asks Yachiyo to help with a crowded lunch area. Ui is taking orders with Sana&#039;s invisible help making drinks.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral. Yachiyo admits she was worried about everyone but sees they are doing fine. Iroha tells Yachiyo it is okay to worry because she cares, and they can solve problems together. Iroha notices Yachiyo has been down and offers to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
** A foam machine malfunctions, spewing foam everywhere. A guest slips and falls. The group splits up to clean the foam and help guests. Mitama fixes the machine with a whack. The support staff arrives. The girls finally have time to enjoy the pool.&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models. She does not know what to post and is shy about taking selfies. Iroha suggests posting photos of herself and takes pictures of Yachiyo on a float with the sunset. Yachiyo is embarrassed but agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Tsuruno want a turn on the float. Everyone climbs on, and Mitama takes a group photo just as they all fall into the water. Iroha loves the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the pool photos are popular online. Yachiyo&#039;s manager says going to the pool was a good move. Yachiyo thanks Iroha and says she might take her up on being her photographer again. She sends the group photo to everyone. Iroha says the photo may not be &amp;quot;social media-worthy&amp;quot; but it captures who they are. They agree to go back to the pool again—summer is just getting started.&lt;br /&gt;

They became close and talked openly with each other for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo too formal and uptight, while Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukuyo was devastated. She received a harsh message from her grandmother, punishing her for being absent without permission. She broke down crying, saying she was not a puppet for her grandmother to order around.&lt;br /&gt;

* Several days later, Tsukasa tells Tsukuyo she does not know the details of how the Magius intend to save them. She shares the full ending of the story they studied—the couple takes their own lives because they fear their love will fade. Tsukasa suggests they do the same. Tsukuyo is horrified but realizes they have no other way out.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night they decide to die, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa meet at the shrine. They decide to destroy their Soul Gems together. They hold hands and count to three. Mifuyu arrives in time to stop them.

&lt;br /&gt;
* (Return to the present) Tsukuyo reflects on how much has happened. She knows she must always be there to support Tsukasa, who can be unpredictable. She dreams of their future together—a happy ending where they live together, free from family, regional disputes, and Magical Girls. She knows it may be a long way off, but as long as she has Tsukasa, she believes they will get their happy ending.&lt;br /&gt;

* Flashback (Before Magical Girl). Tsukasa is overworked with school, chores, and finances for the workshop. She is exhausted and collapses. She wakes up in the hospital with her sister beside her.

===Nanaka Tokiwa&#039;s Heartphial Story: Schemes of a Grand Design===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka Tokiwa reflects on her life. Pride and traditions long preserved by the Tokiwa family, head of the Kashin school, were lost. Exacting revenge to reclaim it was how it all began, but she could not have foreseen the true enemy lurking in the shadows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka faces a formidable Boss Witch with her team. They withdraw due to exhaustion. Later, at Blossom, Kako worries about the Witch hurting someone. Nanaka says they need a new strategy.

* The next day, Nanaka meets with Konoha&#039;s team to discuss territorial disputes. Hazuki wants to maintain an agreement that all participants share Grief Seeds equally. Nanaka agrees but only to avoid unnecessary conflict. She sees Hazuki&#039;s personal motives and decides to do her a favor. After the meeting, Nanaka explains to her team that she wanted to observe everyone&#039;s opinions for future use. She reflects on her past—her father fell ill, his pupils took over the school, and the Tokiwa family was left in the dust. On his deathbed, her father asked her to reclaim the school. She wished for the power to evaluate who her enemies truly are. She discovered the true enemy was a Witch she named Locust. She formed a team to seek revenge.&lt;br /&gt;

** Nanaka holds a meeting. Some members want to abolish the agreement because it hinders teamwork. Nanaka agrees to first-come, first-served, adding that the first team to discover a Witch has both the right and duty to defeat it. Her team questions her decision, but she says they will see soon enough.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hazuki&#039;s team confronts Nanaka. They were forced to defeat the Boss Witch because of the &amp;quot;duty&amp;quot; clause. Hazuki says Nanaka played them. Nanaka admits she knew they could do it. Hazuki says they have scores to settle. Hazuki also mentions the Witch was strange, like it was being manipulated. Nanaka realizes the Locust is not just one Witch—the true enemy is its puppet master.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several months later (present day) Nanaka reflects that her Locust revenge story is over. The puppet master can no longer do harm. But something else is starting to creep from the shadows of Kamihama City. She will have to find out what comes next.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kako Natsume&#039;s Heartphial Story: N&#039;s Confession===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kako Natsume reflects on her life. She lost Natsume Books and her peaceful days once. But she is no longer the fearful girl she used to be. She is a girl who can choose to protect what is dear to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kako is 13 years old. Her parents run Natsume Books, a used bookstore. Books are a huge part of her life. One day, she sees Nanaka loitering by the mailbox, looking distressed. Nanaka drops a letter in the mailbox and runs off. She tells Kako to read the letter. Kako remembers the words &amp;quot;Kill her&amp;quot; and wonders why.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako recalls her past. Her family was not wealthy, but they were happy. Her father recommended books, and her mother helped her study. Then tragedy struck. A riot over land grabs broke out. Harassment of those who objected got worse. Discord grew within the community and even within their home. Her father was wound tight. Then their house was set on fire. Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
** She met a girl named &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; N told Kako who was responsible and what she needed to do to destroy them. Kako clung to her. She later learned N was manipulative and saw others as pawns. Kako hates N and wants revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found herself in a Labyrinth. Nanaka fought off Familiars but was overwhelmed. Kyubey offered Kako the chance to become a Magical Girl. Nanaka told Kako through telepathy to decide for herself what she wanted. Kako realized she hated feeling helpless. She wished to see her family smiling again and to get Natsume Books back. She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kako learned Nanaka faked her struggle to entrap her into making the wish. Nanaka had pulled this trick on others to use them as pawns. Kako could not forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako and Nanaka fought Witches together. Nanaka encouraged Kako and told her she was better suited to being a Magical Girl than Nanaka was. Kako wanted to get stronger. Nanaka wrote a letter confessing her deception and asking Kako to kill her. Kako made up her mind to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka.

* A few days later, Rena calls Himika. She saw the Baby Bunny pouch in a crane game at an arcade. Himika, Kako, Ayame, Rena, and Kaede go to the arcade. The pouch is in the replenishment case, meaning Himika must win all the Mocha Bunnies already out to reach it. Himika decides to use a strategy but is short on money.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika observes other players to learn techniques, calling it &amp;quot;crane training.&amp;quot; She strategizes to create an avalanche by knocking down piles of plushies.

Rika messages her to join everyone for snacks. Ren goes to meet them.&lt;br /&gt;

* Three days before the competition, Koshino beats Masara&#039;s record once. The swim club captain praises her. Masara feels something but cannot identify it. She is not annoyed. She does not know what she feels.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day before the competition, Koshino has an accident and cannot compete. Masara agrees to take her place. She is surprised by her own motivation. Kokoro notices the change.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the competition, Masara swims well. Her team finishes second, but she was in the lead when passing the baton. Koshino comes to watch and thanks Masara for doing the race for her. Kokoro says Masara has changed. Masara decides she wants to keep swimming a while longer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika Ayano&#039;s Heartphial Story: Haunting Love, Haunting Mistake===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika Ayano reflects on her life. She does not want to feel like she became a Magical Girl for nothing. She got to see what dating is like and made loads of friends. But sins do not wash away so easily. That is the price you pay for a miracle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback, but the entirety seems like mostly a flashback) Kyubey offers Rika any wish in exchange for becoming a Magical Girl. Hinano warns her not to do it, but Rika ignores the advice. She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Riko Chiaki&#039;s Heartphial Story: Worked Out with a Woof===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki reflects on her life. Even though her mom and dad were hardly home because of work, she never felt lonely as long as Miss K was around. She cared about her so much that she just wanted to help her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback) Riko helps out at her parents&#039; bento store. She is close with Miss K, the daughter of the hardware store owner next door. Miss K has always been like a big sister to her. Miss K cries to Riko that her father opposes her marriage because he does not want her to move far away. Riko wishes to Kyubey for Miss K&#039;s marriage to be accepted. She becomes a Magical Girl. Miss K gets married and moves away. Riko misses her but does not regret her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Riko goes filming with Ashley. She tells Ashley about Miss K. She explains that Miss K&#039;s father never fully accepted the marriage, and they have not made up. Riko receives a message from Miss K saying she was in the hospital because she was pregnant. She invites Riko to visit her new house. Riko goes and meets the baby. Miss K asks Riko to be friends with her child. Riko becomes like a big sister to the baby. She feels happy that her wish came true but is sad Miss K and her father never reconciled.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko walks Mameji and sees Miss K&#039;s father standing outside the hardware store, looking sad. She wonders what is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley advises Riko to ask Miss K directly if she wants to make up with her father. Riko texts Miss K and asks to meet. Miss K replies that she will come to Riko&#039;s town instead. Riko is excited.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Miss K visits Riko. They talk about her father. Miss K says she wants to make up with him but does not know how. Riko suggests inviting him to meet the baby, giving him a present, or going on a family trip. Miss K doubts any of it will work. They walk to Riko&#039;s store together. They encounter Miss K&#039;s father outside. Riko admits she asked Miss K to come so they could patch things up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Miss K&#039;s father reveals he brought a herbarium to Riko&#039;s store. It was originally meant as a gift for his grandchild, but he could not bring himself to deliver it. Riko realizes Mameji had been guiding her this whole time. Earlier, Mameji had barked at the cake that turned out to be from Miss K&#039;s father. Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky. She realizes she is dying, having protected Yachiyo. She remembers how everyone was fighting for dear life. She wished she were stronger to help them. She is sorry for not being stronger. She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ashley Taylor&#039;s Heartphial Story: Can&#039;t Be Myself Without What I Love===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley Taylor reflects on her life. Studying in Japan is awesome fun. She wants to find more kawaii for her vlog viewers back home and asks her father to watch over her while she pursues her passions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley vlogs with Riko&#039;s help. She films herself shopping for Magical Kirin merch and gurokawa items. After editing and uploading the video, she replies to comments from her followers. She thinks about her father and hopes he is watching.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley remembers the day she wanted to study abroad in Japan. Her father refused without giving a clear reason, which was unusual. Kyubey appeared and offered to grant any wish. Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko notices Ashley seems down. She worries Ashley is overworking herself by vlogging daily and replying to comments late at night. Ashley says it does not feel like work because she loves it. She thanks Riko for being a kind friend. They go out to film another vlog.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley continues vlogging daily. She worries about skipping a day because her followers might unfollow her. She wakes up to find Kumanosuke missing. She panics, feeling like her world is ending. Riko arrives with a bento and finds Ashley crying. Ashley explains she lost Kumanosuke. Riko comforts her and says it is okay to skip a vlog. Ashley admits she has been using followers&#039; comments to fill the hole left by her father&#039;s death. Riko says she understands loss—she misses her sister who moved far away. They decide to search for Kumanosuke.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko suggests Ashley ask her followers for help finding Kumanosuke. During a live stream, a commenter suggests rewatching her previous vlog. Ashley realizes she left Kumanosuke on a chair when she got distracted by a crane machine. They find Kumanosuke on a shelf at the store, dressed in Waloli Gurokawa clothes. Ashley gets him back. She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

* At the hospital, a nurse tries to convince Touka to eat her carrots. Touka refuses unless her terms are met: she wants specific books brought to her. The books are Hachslingen&#039;s &amp;quot;General Theory of the Origin of the Universe,&amp;quot; Cosinberg&#039;s &amp;quot;Celestial Forces,&amp;quot; and Dadatri&#039;s &amp;quot;Glimmer of the Planet.&amp;quot; She claims no one will hand them over. The nurse eventually gives up on the carrots.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Future Relationships|Future Relationships ~Current Status with Onee-sama~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha arrives, having been called by Ui. Ui admits she asked Iroha to search for the books Touka wanted, having written out the titles for her. Iroha apologizes, explaining she could not find them no matter how she searched. Touka becomes flustered.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu deduces that Touka is acting like Princess Kaguya, requesting treasures she knows do not exist to avoid eating her carrots. Exposed, Touka reluctantly eats a carrot. Nemu thanks Iroha and makes Touka apologize for the trouble. Touka gives a half-hearted apology.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the girls play a number-guessing game. Touka wins five times in a row. Iroha suggests Touka and Nemu call her something more casual. Touka chooses &amp;quot;Onee-sama.&amp;quot; Nemu asks to call her &amp;quot;Onee-san.&amp;quot; Iroha happily agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka eagerly awaits Iroha&#039;s arrival to play Old Maid, noting Iroha has won first place seven times in a row but that her face always gives the game away. Nemu observes to Ui that Touka frequently says &amp;quot;Onee-sama&amp;quot; now, likely because Iroha is her first elder sister. Nemu quietly reflects that Iroha is her first Onee-san as well. Iroha arrives and greets them all warmly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A familiar appears and attacks. Touka is overwhelmed. Iroha arrives and fights it off, guided by Kyubey. She expresses concern for Ui and her friends. Ui realizes it really is her big sister and Touka recognizes Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call|Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wait, You Got It Wrong!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayu Kozue&#039;s most treasured possession is a bear pendant her father carved for her before he died. When a hand-drawn postcard is stolen from the museum where she works, security footage shows her friend Ria at the scene moments later. Mayu cannot reach Ria and suspects a Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~|Wait, You Got It Wrong! / Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While searching for Ria, Mayu encounters Asuka Tatsuki, whose family&#039;s invaluable book of secrets was also stolen. A witness described a blonde girl in a Mizuna uniform—Ria. They find Sayuki Fumino crying over her stolen sword book, then Rena Minami who was bumped by the same girl. At Walnut&#039;s restaurant, Manaka Kurumi accuses Ria of stealing a rice omelet. A Witch barrier appears, and after Mayu and Asuka defeat the Familiars, Ria arrives demanding to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka challenges Ria to a duel over the thefts, and Ria loses. She confesses to something embarrassing, and everyone assumes she means the thefts—but she meant a binder of idol clippings she desperately hopes no one saw. She was only chasing the Witch to recover her own stolen belongings. Relieved, Mayu and Asuka join her. They track and defeat the Witch, recovering most items, but the museum postcard, the dojo book, and Ria&#039;s binder remain missing. They agree to search again tomorrow. That night, Mayu dreams of her father, who tells her material things are destined to break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, thefts continue across the city. Mayu realizes the Witch they defeated was only a Familiar and the real Witch is still out there. She offers her precious pendant as bait to track it. Despite Ria&#039;s protests, Mayu uses it, and they follow the magic trail to the Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After a difficult battle, they recover all stolen items, though Mayu&#039;s pendant is scratched and its chain broken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu is unbothered. She explains that material possessions naturally break, but the memories they hold remain in her heart—a lesson from her father. Asuka and Ria are moved, and Mayu turns to walk home, promptly falls into a lake, and flounders while Ria sighs that she has not changed at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor she calls Miss K. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Miss K with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Miss K&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Miss K to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

===&amp;quot;Let&#039;s hit the Suitoku baths! (Music Collection 1 bonus drama)&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo, Iroha, and Sana prepare a meal. Felicia reluctantly helps. Tsuruno arrives with a flyer for Suitokuyu, a public bathhouse holding an event as part of a shopping district revitalization plan. She invites everyone to go together. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the bathhouse, they read the posted rules. Tsuruno pretends to be a &amp;quot;bathhouse master&amp;quot; and teaches them. Sana becomes embarrassed about being naked in front of everyone. Yachiyo understands her feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Villa. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;
~A Little Break For Us~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===This is The Warmest Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha is going about her day when Sana, Felicia, and Ui present her with a pinwheel and ask her to blow on it. Though confused by their strange behavior, Iroha does as they ask and the girls thank her before quickly scampering off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~#This Is The Warmest Day Login Special|This is The Warmest Day]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts. When Yachiyo asks Iroha&#039;s opinion, Iroha expresses her love for shortcake and suggests they bake one immediately, but Yachiyo insists she wait for the right moment, which will come sooner than she thinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Lavi is shopping when Nayuta finds her to share news about her math test score. They return home where Lavi prepares dinner, and Nayuta discovers Lavi earned perfect scores in every subject, highlighting the gap between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House|The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day while Lavi runs errands, Nayuta confides in Mikage about her fears that Lavi only respects her father and secretly resents serving her. Seeking answers, Nayuta visits Mitama, who suggests that kindness and broad-mindedness are the traits she needs to develop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Nayuta observes how hard Lavi works attending school, studying, handling housework, and fighting witches. Worried she might collapse, Nayuta offers Lavi time off for her upcoming sixteenth birthday and secretly plans a surprise party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later on Lavi&#039;s birthday, Nayuta and Mikage struggle through cleaning the house and preparing a celebration. Their efforts are interrupted when Lavi returns early for lunch, scolds them for the mess, but leaves again at Nayuta&#039;s insistence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Lavi returns that evening, the handmade kusudama falls onto the cake and catches fire. Lavi extinguishes it with water, and Nayuta is left mortified as her surprise party fails spectacularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Nayuta senses lingering coldness from Lavi and struggles to find the right way to apologize. Remembering her father&#039;s example, she decides to catch and cook a fish as an apology gift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day at a fishing center, Nayuta encounters girls from the Tokime clan who teach her how to gut fish. Despite being disturbed by the process, she perseveres and eventually catches the exact fish she wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning home late, Nayuta discovers a threatening letter addressed to Lavi and deduces it must be connected to the serious trouble from Lavi&#039;s hometown. She rushes to the market street with Mikage to protect her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the market street, Nayuta confronts the man speaking with Lavi, declaring herself as Satomi Tasuke&#039;s daughter to intimidate him. The man reveals he is simply a stalker with no connection to Lavi&#039;s past, and when he becomes agitated, Nayuta tackles him unconscious as a crowd applauds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Nayuta presents the cooked fish and apologizes. Lavi admits she was barely angry anymore and thanks Nayuta for protecting her, acknowledging she was just like her father in that moment. Nayuta produces a second kusudama and cake, and this time the celebration succeeds. As they pick confetti from the cake, Lavi quietly says she will continue to admire Nayuta until the final day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Art 02 01 0003 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune. The Rumor says that if you receive the book and find a drawing of yourself, the sketched event will happen and if you try to stop it, a creature named Ketch drags you into the book. Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Art 02 01 0010 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day|Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Rumored Temp Counselor===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

===Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away|Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

Ryoko notices Sakuya&#039;s exhaustion and decides something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ryoko tracks Sakuya down at her school, creating a scene about missing shoes that sparks gossip. After learning Sakuya may be engineering her own isolation, Ryoko continues her efforts to help, but Sakuya runs away each time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Ryoko investigates and discovers Sakuya hid her own shoes and started the gossip to isolate herself. Sakuya confesses she killed her best friend in the war and must remain alone to avoid hurting anyone else. Ryoko declares she will save Sakuya by becoming her best friend, and they fight until exhausted. That night, Sakuya dreams of her deceased friend, who thanks her and tells her to move forward. She wakes to find Ryoko collapsed from hunger, and they talk for hours like ordinary friends. Though they agree they cannot meet again until the battles are over, they promise to become true friends then.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the following days, Sakuya returns to normal life by socializing with classmates, sleeping better, and regaining her spirits. Ryoko gains a new goal: to free Sakuya from the things that bind her, once and for all, when the time is right.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls in Kush, who transforms into a vampire and she wins the contest. Natsuki takes second place and Karin takes third place. A commemorative photo is taken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin completes her manga, &amp;quot;The Pumpkin King and the Ghost Servant.&amp;quot; She shows it to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede who praise it, giving it 100 points or more. Kaede appreciates the happy ending. Karin is moved by Kaede&#039;s approval. Manaka arrives with pumpkin pie for a taste test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the Sakae Halloween Festa, Karin arrives at the festival in her Pumpkin King costume. Alina is also present, already dressed as the ghost servant from Karin&#039;s manga. Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head of the executive committee thanks Karin for recommending Alina as the face of the event. Karin reflects on her hope that Alina will one day atone for her sins and reach a happy ending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mikage wonders if she might become famous but worries about sketchy people, and Mitama jokingly offers to beat them up. Mikage asks if they can make real chocolate together, but Mitama needs to go to her coordinator shop. Mikage promises to do things that make her sister smile instead, and Mitama suggests they make Valentine&#039;s chocolate together next year.

* At Promised Blood&#039;s base, Yuna notices her teammates have been acting strangely, as Sakuya reads romance columns, Juri studies constantly, and Urara stares at Hikaru without speaking. After the meeting, Yuna confides in Hikaru that she feels guilty for not noticing everyone&#039;s exhaustion and decides to solve each person&#039;s problems personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend. Though relieved it&#039;s not her own love life, Yuna insists on helping anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s place, the group brainstorms confession advice. The conversation shifts when Ao receives a text from her parents—she&#039;s been lying to them about her late nights as a magical girl, claiming she&#039;s in an e-sports tournament. To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the online tournament, chaos ensues as Juri attacks teammates, Hikaru sets the kitchen on fire, and Yuna fails at selling merchandise. Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the student council meeting, Yuna honestly requests more time to handle personal matters, promising to dedicate herself fully afterward. The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka-senpai&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Day in the Life of Madoka-senpai===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

==Magia Record Events==&lt;br /&gt;
===See You Tomorrow===&lt;br /&gt;
* One morning at the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira greets an older neighbor who warns her about increasing danger in the area. Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them. The girl agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, finishing the final preparations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day of the school festival proceeds without major incident. Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, sampling food and enjoying the event. They take a photo together at the repaired arch—Tsumugi, Manaka, and the transfer student in her uniform. The transfer student reflects later that she will cherish the photo forever, grateful for the kindness she did not feel she deserved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Autumn of Reading===&lt;br /&gt;
This seems to have been an event without story. Needs to be re-checked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Girls in the Hood===&lt;br /&gt;
* An earthquake strikes the city, and on a rooftop, Jun Kazari drops both her yo-yo and her soul gem while practicing tricks. She chases after the soul gem, while the yo-yo falls into the hood of Mitsune Miwa, a hikikomori watching a performance below. Mitsune decides to return it and runs up the stairs, where she collides with Jun. Jun explains she needs her soul gem, and Mitsune returns the yo-yo. A Witch&#039;s barrier appears around them, and Jun transforms to fight while telling Mitsune to close her eyes. Mitsune peeks, collapses after seeing the Witch die, and Jun carries her outside, claiming it was all a dream. Jun insists on treating Mitsune since she saved her yo-yo, and takes her to a candy store called Tomorrow Shop. Jun introduces her to the children there, and Mitsune is amazed by how loved Jun is. Mitsune must leave by 6 PM, and Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Girls in the Hood|Girls in the Hood]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kanae enters first, and Jun follows to save Mitsune. They defeat the Witch together, and Mitsune wakes in a park. Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop&amp;quot; again, and Mitsune smiles and agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Mitsune later sees Kanae talking to Kyubey and follows her, but is pulled into a Familiar&#039;s labyrinth. Jun saves her, and Mitsune directly asks if Jun is a magical girl. Jun begins explaining Witches, Familiars, and magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mitsune admits she still cannot go to school or make friends. Jun says she also struggles with friends. Mitsune wonders if she should become a magical girl, but Jun yells at her not to. Mitsune leaves upset. Kanae warns Jun that Mitsune has the qualities to become a magical girl, and Jun reveals she is moving away from Kamihama. She used her wish to save the shop, but now realizes other things are more important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Jun tells Mitsune she is moving next week and that magical girls do not have the kind of magic Mitsune dreams of. Mitsune must make her own dreams come true. Jun promises to prove she does not need magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Jun finds that the children and Mitsune went to explore Shinsei Ward without her. She finds them at an abandoned construction site where Mitsune encountered a Witch. Mitsune sent the children away but stayed behind. Jun arrives and uses a homemade bomb to damage the Witch before they escape. A gas leak causes a larger explosion, and they escape on Kanae&#039;s motorcycle. Kanae later destroys the Witch barrier herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Jun says goodbye at the shop. Mitsune arrives crying, and Jun gives her a fake gum toy as a farewell gift. Jun tells her she can become whatever she wants without magic, slowly and little by little, and that if she keeps that happy face, they will meet again. &amp;quot;Someday, see you at the Tomorrow Shop again.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* At age 12, shortly after contracting, Yachiyo meets Mifuyu and initially dislikes her, but her opinion changes after learning about Mifuyu&#039;s demanding family obligations and when Mifuyu takes a severe wound saving her from hostile Magical Girls. Yachiyo later returns the favor, and they grow closer as Mifuyu begins visiting Mikazuki Manor. They eventually share why they made their contracts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope|Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day, the same pair of Magical Girls from years ago betrays them during a Witch hunt. One dies and the other escapes after stealing the Grief Seed while Yachiyo and Mifuyu lie wounded. They nearly give up, but saving a girl from Yachiyo&#039;s unit reminds them that protecting others still matters. Yachiyo suggests they exchange letters like her grandmother did to maintain hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Seven years later, Mifuyu suggests stopping the letters to cast away weakness, but Yachiyo believes the letters give them strength by carrying others&#039; wishes. Mifuyu tearfully realizes she can still rely on Yachiyo. They thank each other and resolve to move forward together, hoping no further sacrifices will be needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope 2====&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo finds an old photo album while cleaning. She shows it to Iroha, Tsuruno, Sana, Felicia, and Ui. The photos are from seven years ago, when Mikazuki Villa was a boarding house. Iroha notices a girl standing next to Yachiyo and her grandmother—it is Mifuyu with long hair. Yachiyo explains she knew Mifuyu back then and they fought Witches together. Tsuruno is shocked and Yachiyo says they did not leave a good first impression on each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seven Years Ago&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo fights her first Witch. She is scared but determined. Inside the barrier, she finds another Magical Girl crying. The girl is too frightened to fight. Yachiyo tries to cooperate, but the girl runs away. Yachiyo defeats the Witch alone. Afterward, she confronts the crying girl and tells her that if she cannot fight, she should quit. The girl begs Yachiyo not to leave her alone. Yachiyo is harsh but later realizes she is also scared. Both girls cry alone, afraid of being Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo is the leader of her model unit. The other members are starting to trust her. One member, Yellow, still does not approve of Yachiyo as leader. Yachiyo continues working hard. After her lesson, she defeats a Familiar. She encounters Mifuyu again. Mifuyu says she felt the Familiar&#039;s presence but was too scared to enter the barrier. Yachiyo is harsh again, but Mifuyu says she wants to talk properly. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives and invites Mifuyu to a candy store. Mifuyu has never been to one before. She is amazed by the syrup. The grandmother invites her to visit Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s unit has a successful photoshoot. She feels happy. Later, she senses a powerful Witch and enters the barrier. Two other Magical Girls are already fighting it. Yachiyo asks to join them, but they attack her. They say the Witch is their prey and threaten her. Mifuyu appears and says they should cooperate.

* Mifuyu visits Mikazuki Villa. She brings sweets. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother shows the album and the magazine featuring Yachiyo&#039;s unit. The older boarders ask Mifuyu for a cute nickname for Yachiyo. Mifuyu suggests &amp;quot;Yacchan.&amp;quot; Yachiyo likes it. That night, a Witch appears near the station. They fight together and save a boarder from Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo suggests they team up because they are both weak and will become stronger together. Mifuyu agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Yachiyo and Mifuyu continue patrolling. Mifuyu&#039;s parents increase her lessons because they suspect she is sneaking out to play. Yachiyo feels guilty. They decide to reduce patrols for the next week.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s manager tells her the unit will be disbanded at the end of the month. Yachiyo is devastated. Her wish to keep the unit alive was meaningless. She meets Mifuyu at the candy store.

===The Mirror That Reflects My True Self===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sae goes about her daily life in Kamihama. She maintains a facade as the daughter of a well-off family while secretly working multiple jobs to support her kind but financially irresponsible parents, living by a philosophy of relying only on herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Mirror That Reflects My True Self|The Mirror That Reflects My True Self]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a routine adjustment with the Coordinator Mitama, Sae learns of a &amp;quot;False Magical Girl&amp;quot; rumor: someone is impersonating her. Mitama suggests Sae seek help from Emiri&#039;s counseling room, where Magical Girls gather. Though reluctant, Sae agrees the impostor threatens her carefully constructed image.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After deducing the impostor can transform, Sae confronts and corners Rena, who reveals the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire investigation was an elaborate setup. Emiri and the others orchestrated the &amp;quot;False Magical Girl&amp;quot; to force Sae into relying on them, worried her refusal to ask for help would lead to disaster. Mitama coordinated the scheme. Though initially frustrated, Sae understands their concern and thanks them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sae returns home to find her siblings confused. Someone matching her description visited earlier, acting affectionate. Sae realizes a real impostor exists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A figure identical to Sae appears and delivers a prophecy: tomorrow, Ria will be attacked and Emiri will stabbed saving her.

** Determined to prevent the next prophecy, Sae locates the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth alone. She is overwhelmed and nearly killed. Himika arrives to help, having found Sae&#039;s marked map, and is gravely injured in the rescue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sae receives a message that her family is attending a concert near the Witch. As she despairs, the counseling room girls arrive, led by the impostor who directed them there. They insist on fighting together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Magia Record Event - The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf|The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo bumps into Tsuruno on a day when school is out. Yachiyo has a job performing in a recorded drama with Sayuki that will be screened on Tanabata. Tsuruno recalls Yachiyo&#039;s poor performance in Karin&#039;s Halloween play and decides to join her to help. Yachiyo welcomes her.&lt;br /&gt;
** On set, Ria and Mayu are assisting with makeup and costumes. Yachiyo recognizes Ria, calls her by name, and praises her work, causing Ria to internally fangirl. Yachiyo grows anxious seeing so many Magical Girls gathered, recalling how a previous production with magical girls turned into a disaster. Tsuruno reassures her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wins over the production team with her exuberance. The play&#039;s co-star drops out, and the director asks Tsuruno to take the role. She eagerly accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a fairy tale about an ancient Mizuna legend. Two girls, Tsuyu and Chizuru, befriend each other despite their families&#039; rivalry and join forces to punish a selfish lord. Yachiyo plays Tsuyu, the ice queen with a heart of gold. Tsuruno plays Chizuru, the cheerful and impetuous girl. Sayuki plays the Magpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** During the script reading, everyone realizes Yachiyo&#039;s acting skills are still terrible. Yachiyo confides that she has turned down many acting jobs but accepted this one because the director begged her, even if she flops. She vows to see it through to expand her repertoire. Tsuruno promises to stay by her side.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria is in shock seeing her idol perform poorly. The filmmakers work around it by taking away Yachiyo&#039;s lines. Ria confronts Yachiyo and Tsuruno after the reading, declaring she will give Yachiyo an acting bootcamp. She does not want Yachiyo&#039;s performance to drag down her makeup work or her reputation as Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at home, Yachiyo reviews the script. Tsuruno explains the Mizuna fairy tale to the rest of Mikazuki. Felicia becomes interested when she learns there are fight scenes. Tsuruno explains that the day Tsuyu and Chizuru teamed up was Tanabata, and people in Kamihama entrust their wishes to them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next week or so, Yachiyo is drilled on acting with a professional coach and Ria&#039;s guidance. She eventually executes her lines perfectly and Ria is relieved.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sea is a Link Through Time /  The Call of the Open Sea===&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. There&#039;s two different versions at hand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Momoko and Mitama arrive at a resort near a village with a legend about a Diviner who eloped with a sailor and sank with stolen treasure. Mitama reveals they are actually there to hunt for this treasure based on a fairy tale Mikage heard. While exploring the private beach, they encounter Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao from the Tokime Clan, who stumbled there by accident. The group decides to spend the day together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|The Call of the Open Sea]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, they attend a festival in a nearby village that turns out to be a branch of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka learns the villagers consider Diviners a superstition. Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Big Sis, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Felicia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward. Kyubey finds a fuming Felicia, who decides to hire herself out as a mercenary to other magical girls for money or Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Felicia Mitsuki#Side Story|Felicia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia encounters Asuka and Sasara and defeats a witch for them, but they let her keep the Grief Seed and leave without paying, leaving her frustrated. Kako appears, concerned, but Felicia rejects her harshly and immediately regrets it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia helps defeat the witch and collapses from exhaustion, silently vowing to destroy every witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Touka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Hazuki and Nanaka team up with Ui to teach her how to defeat witches. Ui claims her first victory and receives a grief seed as a reward while Touka and Nemu tag along to offer congratulations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui suddenly realizes she loves the choir and wants to become a music teacher. She excitedly shares this revelation with her family and friends and resolves to work hard toward this future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art. The Amanes are relieved, and Tsukuyo suggests they play their flutes at the shrine on the way home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends. Before Hibari&#039;s family moved away, she performed a charm ritual on Aru and promised they would meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message that Hibari is coming to visit Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives and they plan to visit an arcade. Along the way they encounter Himena&#039;s group and later help a lost Shizuka. After some confusion about directions, they reach the arcade where Hibari wins a crane game prize and helps Juri win one too. Hibari suddenly becomes pale and goes to get change, but she does not return. Kagome calls her and Hibari thanks her for being friends before saying goodbye, with an ambulance audible in the background.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome discovers a crowd under a Witch&#039;s Kiss heading toward a rooftop and sends emergency messages to every Magical Girl she knows. Himena&#039;s group arrives to help hold back the crowd, but other girls cannot come due to similar incidents elsewhere. Shizuka finally checks her phone and rushes over with the Tokime Clan just as someone threatens to ignite kerosene. They stop the crowd while Juri and Ao defeat the Witch with Livia&#039;s help. The Witch&#039;s Kiss is lifted and Hibari wakes up confused, with Livia covering that she collapsed from anemia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari admits she felt faint because seeing Kagome surrounded by friends made her happy but also made her feel left behind and alone. Kagome insists Hibari is wrong and promises to come running whenever Hibari is in trouble, asking them to stay best friends forever. Hibari reveals the two wishes she made when they parted came true: that she could speak her mind loudly and that Kagome would make lots of friends. They renew their promise to remain best friends forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari.

* Day 4&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri struggled at school, frustrated by classmates who avoided conflict and teachers who enabled them. Her anger built up. She reflected on how she became a Magical Girl—she wished for a patient, stout heart to stay in school and not burden her father. The wish gave her patience but did not eliminate her anger; it built up as flames until she exploded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl Yuna introduced continued to spar with Juri. The girl revealed Juri had saved her from a Witch, and she admired Juri.

After thinking it over, she searches for information with help from others, but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hinano explains that because the agreement fell through, local manufacturers like Kanoko’s father stayed in business, so there was little news. Chiharu and Sunao arrange a meeting at the factory and bring Shizuka. Kanoko’s father tells Shizuka his factory would have failed otherwise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Hagumu sees Moka is honest and never doubts people, which is why everyone supports her. Hagumu realizes they are completely different—Moka has people who protect her, while Hagumu feels she has nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Yukika, a former Black Feather, why she declined the Union. Yukika says she did not want to drag others into trouble. Hagumu sees Yukika has strong convictions and follows them, unlike herself. Hagumu feels more discouraged.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches. Hagumu is moved but asks for more time to discuss it with Shigure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hagumu finishes sewing Cinderella&#039;s costume and is praised by her club members. She feels a sense of accomplishment. However, she forgot to order the glass slippers. Her seniors are disappointed but tell her to order them now and make a to-do list next time. Hagumu feels crushed—she finally succeeded at something, only to fail again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu senses a Witch and goes to help. She sees Riko, an elementary schooler, defeating the Witch on her own. Hagumu realizes her ability to fight Witches is not special—any Magical Girl can do it. She feels her &amp;quot;glass slippers&amp;quot; are cracking and shattering. She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===San&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Hikarizuka Youth Association, San is treated like a younger sister by the members. The Chairman reveals the Association is facing rumours of shady business and has lost a major sponsor. The Fire Festival may be cancelled. San tells Miyuri about her past—as a child, she was scared of the Festival until Tatsu showed her the beauty of the flames. She joined the Youth Association out of admiration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[San Kagura#Side Story|San&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Years ago, a movement to abolish the Festival arose. San wished to Kyubey to &amp;quot;make the Fire Festival remain,&amp;quot; and the movement died out. However, the Festival is now in trouble again because her wish only solved the immediate crisis. San suggests that if they could make people believe in a visible god, they could restore faith in the Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San and Miyuri try fundraising but fail. San decides to research the god of Hikarizuka Shrine. She learns the shrine&#039;s god was originally a girl who emerged unharmed from flames—likely a Magical Girl. San realizes she can become a visible god and spread Magical Girl supremacy to protect the Festival. She decides to contact the new Wings of Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San meets Shigure and Hagumu, who lead the Neo-Magius. They ask her to join as an instructor. San declines, saying she is more suited to being a lieutenant. She receives a message that Tatsu was caught in a violent incident. San rushes back. Sponsors are considering dropping out due to the incident. San decides to negotiate with Miyuri&#039;s father to continue sponsorship just for this year. She kneels and begs him. He agrees but says this will be the last year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The Youth Association is manipulated by a Witch and starts a riot. San fights the Witch with Miyuri and the Neo-Magius. One Neo-Magius member is injured. Tatsu calls San—Miyuri&#039;s father is cutting off sponsorship and the Festival is cancelled. San is devastated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Youth Association cleans up. San learns that everyone has given up on the Festival. Tatsu admits none of them ever saw the god—he only told San that to comfort her as a child. San is shocked but still refuses to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** San tells Himena about her wish and her determination to become a god. She vows to spread Magical Girl supremacy and revive the Fire Festival by any means necessary. Himena approves. San declares she will become a living god, no matter what she has to sacrifice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Miyuri&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena, Alexandra, Hagumu, and Shigure watch as San stretches Miyuri. Miyuri&#039;s loud reactions draw attention. Himena asks about Miyuri&#039;s inline skating. Miyuri explains she started skating as a child because she was bad at running and her parents bought her skates. She fell in love with the feeling of cutting through the wind and quickly improved, eventually competing in freestyle competitions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Miyuri Yukari#Side Story|Miyuri&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s social anxiety worsened. She began experiencing panic attacks at competitions and could no longer compete. Her parents signed her up with the Hikarizuka Youth Association to help her interact with people. There, she met San for the first time. San invited her to dance practice. Miyuri fainted from overexcitement while watching San&#039;s legs. She realized she had a leg fetish and that it triggered her anxiety. She began avoiding San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s skating practice suffered. Her mother suggested she visit the Community Center. Miyuri avoided San again and went outside to practice skating alone at night. She felt free and happy while skating. San saw her dancing in the moonlight and was mesmerized. San decided she wanted to help Miyuri grow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish. San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri learned her new power shortened her experience of anxiety. She became more confident but still fainted easily. She fought Witches alone, often blacking out and going berserk. She encountered the Wings of the Magius while chasing a Witch. Her Doppel emerged. San appeared as the Instructor, defeated the Witch, and fended off the Doppel. San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training. Touka and Nemu suggested San should train Miyuri since she could still hear San&#039;s voice when unconscious. San agreed and became Miyuri&#039;s instructor. Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present) Back at the Community Center, Miyuri finishes her story. She does not regret her wish because it led her to become San&#039;s secret weapon and join Neo-Magius. Himena and the others leave, leaving San and Miyuri alone and Miyuri is mitten with San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Lavi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Lavi wakes Nayuta with the smell of natto. Mikage arrives urgently, asking to interview Lavi for her web newspaper assignment. Lavi agrees on the condition that her privacy is respected. Nayuta spills milk at breakfast, and Lavi wipes it up, explaining that milk can be used to clean silverware.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi goes shopping with Mikage and Nayuta. At the vegetable shop, the owner thanks Lavi for her gardening advice. A woman gives Lavi fresh eggs as thanks for organic vegetables from Lavi&#039;s grandfather. Mikage notices Lavi knows many housewives. Nayuta realizes she knows little about Lavi&#039;s past.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi explains she used to have a frail body as a child due to an unidentifiable condition. Her grandfather grew organic vegetables, which eased her symptoms. However, a severe storm destroyed the field&#039;s soil, making it impossible to grow vegetables. Lavi wished to restore the soil and became a Magical Girl. Her wish saved the field and gave hope to others. She admits her improved health was partly due to becoming a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage wants to make the newspaper more interesting, so Lavi offers to demonstrate &amp;quot;newsworthy&amp;quot; housework. She cooks lunch while Mikage records. Nayuta and Mikage try to help but ruin the dish with too much seasoning. They are distraught, but Lavi salvages it using cabbage and eggs. The meal is delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After making the newspaper, Nayuta and Mikage fall asleep. Lavi reflects on her past. She reveals that she never found joy in living despite her family&#039;s efforts. Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true. She asks for a little more time in her beloved daily life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Asahi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime Tribe holds a celebration to welcome Asahi. During introductions, Chiharu rambles excitedly about her favorite shows, and Asahi finds herself intrigued. When pressed to share more about herself, Asahi talks about hunting and the importance of minimizing suffering. That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun. Everyone apologizes, and they end the day with a shared dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Alexandra&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Re-analyze and structure this. It is a double-story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra dreams of her school days. She sees her past self smiling and realizes she is dreaming of the time she was in love. In the dream, she discusses love with Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu. Himena shares a romantic story about stargazing with Hiko. When Himena asks about their own love lives, Alexandra begins crying unexpectedly. She denies anything is wrong, but Himena apologizes for being insensitive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Alexandra Kurusu#Side Story|Alexandra&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, Alexandra&#039;s teacher appears—but he looks like Shigure. Other people appear as Himena and Hagumu. She recalls that her teacher was her math teacher and club advisor. He was strict and had a reputation for being scary. Alexandra remembers how she would complain about him with her classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After club activities, Alexandra wants to practice singing more. She goes to the rooftop and finds the teacher there. He allows her to practice under his supervision. They begin meeting regularly on the rooftop. She learns he does not smoke and is careful about his throat. He mentions that being an adult is not that great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A male classmate confesses to Alexandra. She almost accepts but pictures the teacher&#039;s face and realizes she loves someone else. She rejects the classmate. Later, it rains, and the teacher lends her his towel. She realizes she has fallen in love with him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra begins trying to appeal to the teacher daily. She asks about his relationship status and learns he is single. She indirectly describes him when talking about her type. She leaves a love letter in his shoe locker. He thinks it is a prank but recognizes her handwriting. She keeps trying to convey her feelings, but he never takes her seriously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra&#039;s behavior becomes obvious in class. She eagerly volunteers to answer questions and is overly happy when called on. Her classmates are amazed she can talk to the scary teacher so cheerfully. She learns everyone fears him. She asks why he became a teacher, and he admits his parents were teachers and he had wanted to be a singer but never pursued it. He wonders if there is any meaning to his life. Alexandra feels sorrow and wants him to be happy. She begins planning to improve his reputation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey appears and offers to grant any wish. Alexandra wants to capture the teacher&#039;s heart through her own efforts. She decides not to make a wish yet. She organizes a surprise birthday party for him with her classmates. He is genuinely happy and thanks her. He realizes she planned it. She tells him all the students respect him. He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra continues her jokes and attempts to get closer to the teacher. She jokes about marriage and asks for a date on the school trip. He unexpectedly agrees to go shopping with her for a few minutes. She hugs him in excitement. A classmate spots them on the rooftop. Rumors spread quickly. The principal calls the teacher in. He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra cannot wake up from the dream. She imagines the teacher scolding her for playing with his feelings. She decides she needs to apologize in real life. She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love. She tells him her feelings were not a deception—they were true love. She thanks him for a wonderful time and says she now only places her faith in Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Urara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara volunteers to do grocery shopping for Lavi. At the supermarket, she gets distracted by flash sales and buys beef, bean sprouts, and curry ingredients. She forgets Lavi&#039;s shopping list. Lavi forgives her but asks her to be more self-controlled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Urara Yume#Side Story|Urara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Urara and Lavi travel to Yukuni. Urara loses her wallet, but Lavi finds it. At the agency, Urara&#039;s manager asks her to coach a children&#039;s diabolo class as a final job. Urara accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the diabolo class, Urara teaches the class alone. Some children struggle to follow her teaching style. Lavi, Alexandra, and Asahi watch from a distance. During lunch, Urara admits she cannot explain techniques well. Lavi analyzes the wrist angles and timing, and the others offer to help. The class is a success.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Urara feels inadequate and misses her former partner, Kurara. She remembers Kurara was better at teaching. Lavi notices Urara is depressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Several days later, Urara returns to Yukuni to pick up her resignation papers. Lavi accompanies her. Urara admits she misses Kurara. Lavi warns her that reconciliation is unlikely, but Urara insists on trying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the agency, Urara confronts Kurara. Kurara reveals she always resented being compared to Urara&#039;s natural talent and felt like &amp;quot;Not-Urara.&amp;quot; She says breaking up the duo was for the best and asks Urara to stop involving herself. Urara is devastated. She returns to Kamihama and cries to Lavi, who comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Urara receives a message from her manager. A girl named Rei from the diabolo class wants more lessons. Urara agrees to meet her. Rei wants to learn the &amp;quot;Urara Special&amp;quot; to beat a prodigy her age. Urara remembers how she unknowingly hurt Kurara by copying her tricks too easily. She decides to coach Rei properly. Lavi offers to stay and help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara and Rei practice together. Lavi advises on timing. Rei successfully performs the trick. Urara tells her to remember the joy of performing, not just winning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Nayuta&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta dreams of proving folkloric studies superior to Touka, but Lavi wakes her with obnoxious humming. Lavi scolds her for being a deep sleeper and rushes her to school in Takarazaki City, where Nayuta complains that Lavi acts like a stern stepmother rather than a kind maid her age.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In class, a self‑assessment exercise has Nayuta describe herself as quiet and diligent, but her peers call her stubborn, someone who hates losing and speaks her mind. She reluctantly accepts “stubborn” fits her persistent search for her father. The teacher introduces the Johari Window, explaining that without communication people understand themselves at most fifty percent and others only twenty‑five percent—a lesson that sticks with Nayuta.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Nayuta meets Iroha at the train station. Both are surprised the other remembers them. They discover they are the same grade and both hail from Takarazaki, and Iroha mentions she also searched for a lost loved one. Nayuta requests to see Yachiyo, apologizing for her bluntness. Iroha reassures her, noting they are both stubborn junior‑high girls from Takarazaki who came to Kamihama to find someone important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Yachiyo has no new information about Nayuta’s father. Tsuruno has Nayuta show a photo, but no one recognizes him. Felicia suggests Nayuta simply ask Touka, since she also grew up at Satomi Medical Center. Nayuta refuses, saying she cannot trust Touka, and apologizes for her stubbornness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Nayuta admits to Lavi she slept poorly because she cannot stop thinking about Touka. Mikage arrives, upset after a fight with Sudachi: Mikage complained about school, Sudachi said she envied Mikage for being able to attend, and they argued over whose position was harder.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At the center, Emiri, Sasara, Asuka, and Kanoko are delighted to meet Mitama’s little sister. Mikage explains she is looking for a friend, but Emiri points out they are already her friends. After some banter about fashion, Mikage tries on Kanoko’s outfits and has a wonderful time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mikage wonders if the older girls truly see her as a friend or just as a kid. Himika suggests she meet girls her own age like Ui, Touka, and Nemu, though Mikage is uncertain about befriending the geniuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When she returns home, Mitama warns her that Ui has been kidnapped by Promised Blood and forbids Mikage from associating with the Kamihama Magia Union. Mikage reluctantly agrees but is frustrated her efforts to make friends have been stopped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama leaves for work and Mikage accuses her of hypocrisy—Mitama can spend time with the KMU while Mikage cannot. She runs out, declaring she will find a new big sister. She finds Emiri’s office closed but runs into Rika and Ren, who quickly realize she is Mitama’s sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Mikage bond over fashion and go to some cheap stores, where Mikage realizes she left her wallet. They play a crane game instead, and Rika wins stuffed animals for Ren and Mikage. Mikage asks Rika to be her big sister; Rika declines but encourages her to talk to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory. Kanoko lets her help make a pendant, but before Mikage can convince her to become her sister, Mitama arrives and drags her home. Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any. Later, she finds Mitama has made all her favorite foods, and they reconcile off‑screen; Mikage gives Mitama the pendant she made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage declares she will not give up on making Kamihama Magia Union friends. She then decides that since Lavi and Nayuta are older, they can be her big sisters instead. They exchange a look and agree to treat her for one day. Mikage expresses her hope that someday she and Sudachi can play with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yozuru plays piano at a pharmacist’s request, impressing everyone, then meets Livia Medeiros and Sudachi Sawa. Sudachi exposes Mifuyu, who decides to introduce herself directly. Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yozuru meets Livia and Sudachi again. Yozuru worries she lacks the kindness to be a good coordinator, but Livia encourages her. Sudachi’s stomach rumbles, and Yozuru prepares snacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yozuru replies that her mother trained her to face worse and declares she will live to the fullest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited again. She jokes about the visitor&#039;s persistence. Yozuru and Sudachi return from stocking up on essentials. Sudachi trips, and Yozuru hesitates to help. Livia instructs Yozuru to help Sudachi stand and dust her off. Yozuru apologizes and explains she is not equipped with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the trailer, Yozuru offers tea. Sudachi wants teacakes. Livia allows them to have some as a treat. Livia reflects that she needs to help the girls mature. Yozuru has lost compassion, while Sudachi needs to find her words. Livia believes they will complement each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is found sleeping and crying. Yozuru gives her a handkerchief. Livia says crying in sleep happens occasionally and is common among Coordinators. She thanks Sudachi for finding her dropped ring. Sudachi sulks when Livia refuses to give her sweets as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the ring is a treasure and a way of reprimanding herself. It is the reason she lives for &amp;quot;Mister Sun.&amp;quot; She says she may tell the full story another time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia shares her philosophy: no matter how awful life is, do not drift in a bad direction or relieve resentment with a curse. Magical Girls are born from hope and must overcome struggles with hope. She warns against corrupting purity and urges supporting those with pure hearts. She says she has said enough for now and will share the rest when she is ready. She asks the visitor to promise to live strong, face forward, and not end up like her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Ryo loses sight of Lil&#039; Kyubey. She finds a girl with potential who may have received a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and helps fight the Witch alongside Nanaka. After the battle, Nanaka explains Lil&#039; Kyubey followed her into the labyrinth and returned a flower she dropped. Nanaka asks Ryo to tell Lil&#039; Kyubey to stop visiting unfriendly Magical Girls. Ryo realizes Lil&#039; Kyubey avoids girls with potential and is not soliciting anyone. She writes an article correcting her earlier suspicions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices.

* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe dreams of Iroha, though she cannot understand her words. Her Doppel reflects that her contract gave her affirmation of existence, yet she still does not feel like anyone - she simply adapts to whatever situation she is in, resented by no one and dependent on no one, but still wondering who she should be. In the dream, Iroha asks what scares her and offers to figure out who Kuroe is together. Kuroe wakes up wondering why she dreamed of the camping trip, and she calls Iroha, deciding she wants to connect with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroeds&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Doppel Story|Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sasara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara is taken hostage at knifepoint in a convenience store. Despite her desire to be a knight, she is too terrified to act. Though the police arrest the criminal and she is safe, Sasara feels ashamed and hates herself for her cowardice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sasara Minagi#Side Story|Sasara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sasara meets Kyubey and when he makes his offer, Sasara accepts without hesitation. As her father works for an emergency rescue squad, a job she admires, he gave her a favorite picture book about a knight who defeats a dragon to save a village. Sasara carries this book everywhere and has always wanted to be like her father and the knight. She wishes to become a knight who can protect and save people, asking for a stronger heart and stronger convictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Sasara has been hunting witches and saving their victims ever since making her contract. She calls herself the Knight who protects the people of Kamihama, but over time her feelings become tainted. The people she rescues never remember what happened and do not acknowledge her. Sasara realizes she wants someone to appreciate her and questions whether she really wanted to become a knight at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book. She thought she could accept the people she helped not talking to her, but now it feels like she does not even exist. When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nanaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Needs to be re-checked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako to ask for their help fighting a witch they all share a connection to. To explain why she needs them, Nanaka tells them how she became a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka&#039;s father headed a traditional Japanese flower arranging school, but when he fell ill, senior students took over and grew the school&#039;s popularity while abandoning its traditions, shutting out Nanaka&#039;s family entirely. On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform. She decided to lay the Soul Gem with its owner&#039;s body, and when she placed the gem in the girl&#039;s hands, the girl began breathing again. Later, Kyubey explained that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Kyubey asks if Nanaka will tell the others this secret, but she says she is waiting for the right moment. Nanaka then reflects that her true revenge target is actually Kyubey himself. Her power makes it clear he is her enemy, though she does not know all the details, and she is waiting for the right time to turn against him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Nanaka&#039;s team is still unable to find the witch. Akira reports meeting a magical girl mercenary. As the girls plan their next move, Nanaka muses about how she is gathering the determination of magical girls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Re-check.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuku enjoys time with her friends but feels disconnected from them and uncertain about her future. She finds comfort in Fūnī, a traveler who visits her family&#039;s cafe and shares his dream of finding a place to belong. When he invites her to search with him, she feels hopeful that she will not be alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* As a magical girl, Shizuku gains the power to connect spaces, allowing her to travel the world much like Fūnī once did. She continues her search, taking jobs from an unknown magical girl who pays her to use her power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day after a job, Yachiyo Nanami, Tsuruno Yui, and Iroha Tamaki approach her. Iroha invites Shizuku to their house, where she meets Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba. She stays for dinner and overnight, observing how the five girls live together like a family. Yachiyo invites her to stay as long as she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku realizes the other girls have found their place to belong, but she understands that her own place was with Fūnī. She cries as his last words finally make sense to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, Shizuku ends her arrangement with the unknown magical girl and returns to Yachiyo&#039;s house, hoping she can stay there. When she arrives, the house is empty, and she sees the personal items that mark each girl&#039;s place. Overhearing them return, she realizes their home is complete with five people and she does not belong there. She leaves quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and the others had prepared a welcome party with cake, but Shizuku never comes. Yachiyo senses that Shizuku might disappear if you look away and admits she should have seen this coming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku returns to the unknown magical girl and asks for more work. When asked why she came back, she says their picture was complete with five people and she must keep searching for where she belongs. She mentally apologizes to Yachiyo, knowing her actions will cause disaster but feeling unprepared to take responsibility. She wonders if she will ever find solid ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After Nanaka and Sasara contracts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Akira wakes from a dream about being attacked by a familiar and finds Sasara Minagi nearby, who is out for a walk. Sasara offers to help Akira search for an old man&#039;s lost cane, recalling she saw children playing with a red cane, and the two head off together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akira Shinobu#Side Story|Akira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akira reflects on her upbringing in her father&#039;s karate dojo, where she learned to always help those in need and earned the neighborhood nickname &amp;quot;Troubleshooter&amp;quot; starting at age six.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira started middle school, a girl asked her to be a bodyguard against a stalker. The girl brought her to a park, confessed her love, and admitted to lying about the stalker. Akira politely rejected her, saying she didn&#039;t know much about that sort of thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Akira learned the girl had vanished and spent days searching for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day Akira found the barrier, she retraced the girl&#039;s steps in the park and stepped into a witch&#039;s labyrinth. She found the missing girl among blank-faced victims marked by a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Kyubey appeared, explained about witches and magical girls, and offered a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Familiars attacked and overwhelmed her despite her karate training. Injured, Akira wished to save all those people, transformed, and destroyed the familiars.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, none of the victims remembered the incident. Kyubey told Akira she needed to defeat the witch itself, which became her destiny as a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a magical girl, Akira patrolled Kamihama investigating witch-related incidents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day, she encountered a familiar without transforming and dropped her Soul Gem. Unable to retrieve it, she fled the barrier and collapsed unconscious outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira woke, Nanaka Tokiwa introduced herself as the magical girl who found her and picked up her Soul Gem. Nanaka advised withdrawing since Akira had collapsed, and Akira reluctantly agreed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Nanaka called asking for a favor. When they met again, Nanaka requested a duel, claiming Akira was weak and should quit hunting witches. Akira refused, citing her family&#039;s dojo, and they dueled. After some fighting, Nanaka ended the duel and apologized. She explained she wanted to test Akira&#039;s resolve and invited her to work together as a team. Akira relented after Nanaka claimed she was troubled and couldn&#039;t fight witches alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present day, Akira returns the cane to the old man and thanks Sasara. She reflects on meeting many magical girls since joining Nanaka and wonders how many exist in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Manaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes Manaka cooking at her family&#039;s failing restaurant, Walnuts. She dreams of following her father&#039;s footsteps as a chef and believes that gaining admission to the prestigious St. Lillianna Academy will help her cook like a high class lady and restore the restaurant&#039;s popularity. Kyubey notes her poor grades make passing unlikely, but Manaka insists this is her father&#039;s last chance and resolves to study.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Manaka Kurumi#Side Story|Manaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Meanwhile, her father receives invitations to tour as a chef and seems genuinely happy traveling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt; Manaka questions why she even bothered trying.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Manaka finishes selling bentos and keeps one for herself. Sana Futaba rushes in, upset at arriving too late.

Sana accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana promises to arrive earlier tomorrow, but Manaka reveals this may be her last day selling bentos. She admits she thinks she made her restaurant even more obscure, and if she is not helping it, she sees no point in cooking.

Seeing Sana smile gives Manaka new motivation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* A documentary crew follows Ria Ami, whose natural beauty causes crowds to part, though she admits she has no basis for comparison when asked about her challenges. Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ria asks Manaka to be her bodyguard while buying the magazine featuring her article, wearing sunglasses to avoid being seen. Inside, she discovers her article occupies only one page, while Yachiyo has an eight-page spread.

She explains that to get others to open up, you must share the secrets that create distance.&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, the girls reconvene at the restaurant. Hazuki proposes a new rule: anyone who uses magic against a Witch gains proportional rights to the Grief Seed. Both teams agree, and Hazuki suggests they gather data by hunting together. They split into mixed teams—Ayame and Kako form one; Hazuki, Akira, and Meiyui another and Konoha and Nanaka stand by to help as needed. After the successful joint hunt, Nanaka meets with Hazuki alone at the restaurant. She reveals she believes Hazuki manipulated the entire situation from the first meeting, noting that her team was impressed with Hazuki&#039;s group&#039;s teamwork but that she herself was more struck by Hazuki&#039;s modus operandi. Nanaka asks why Hazuki orchestrated everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki admits she wanted Konoha, who is introverted, to connect with others and that after the Witch fight, Konoha seemed genuinely happy. She explains her goal was simply to build connections between her group and other Kamihama Magical Girls. Nanaka accepts this and says she&#039;s glad to work with her. Later, Hazuki writes in her notebook that Nanaka is shrewd but fascinating, and she resolves to continue reaching out to other Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ayame&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame encounters Felicia during a Witch fight, and their rivalry quickly escalates when Felicia dismisses Ayame&#039;s challenge to lead the girls to argue and accidentally let the Witch escape. Frustrated by losing to Felicia specifically, Ayame confronts her afterward, and despite Kako&#039;s attempts to mediate, the two insist on settling things through some competition. Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch. Emerging back in the park, Felicia thanks Ayame, and they realize the race was never finished. They resume, but Ayame admits she&#039;s fine with not winning and she has come to accept Felicia as a strong rival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ayamess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ayame Mikuri#Side Story|Ayame&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Masara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro gives Masara cookies simply because she wants to, leaving Masara confused by the gesture. Masara flashes back to their first meeting, when Kokoro had blamed herself for being unable to protect others and Masara told her she should not carry that guilt. Kokoro had asked to stay by Masara&#039;s side, explaining that those words had saved her. In the present, Kokoro asks what Masara is thinking about, and when Masara admits she was remembering their first meeting, Kokoro smiles. Masara does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Masara Kagami#Side Story|Masara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara visits Mitama for magical strengthening, bringing many Grief Seeds with her. Mitama notes her unusual enthusiasm, and Masara explains she wants to get stronger in order to find something that might change her life. Mitama suggests she try attending a summer festival and hands her a flyer, but Masara shows no interest. When Mitama brings up Kokoro, mentioning that Kokoro has talked about her, Masara insists they are merely working together, not friends, and finds Kokoro&#039;s expectations troublesome. Mitama claims Masara is actually worried about Kokoro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara reflects on her childhood, remembering how her parents had her swim from a young age. Despite showing talent, she never felt any joy or sense of accomplishment, though she continued hoping it might eventually change. It never did. She became a magical girl thinking her dull life might finally become interesting, but even that eventually grew boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead. The Witch targets Kokoro, and Masara injures herself by blocking the attack. The Witch escapes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro apologizes, but Masara claims she only did what was most logical, since the Witch could not have been defeated alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Masara keeps flashing back to the moment the Witch attacked Kokoro whenever she looks at her injury. The recurring memory bothers her, though she does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Kokoro offers to hunt the Witch again with Masara. Masara flashes back to the previous fight and insists she will hunt it alone. She tells Kokoro she is a burden and that she does not like getting hurt. Masara leaves Kokoro crying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara tells Mitama what happened. Mitama suggests Masara was actually trying to protect Kokoro. Masara is at a loss and wonders why being around Kokoro causes her to get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro blames herself for causing Masara trouble. She senses the same Witch and, respecting Masara&#039;s wish to hunt alone, decides to fight it by herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help. Masara agrees and tells Kokoro to call her next time. When Kokoro worries about causing trouble, Masara insists she is doing it for herself, because she does not like seeing Kokoro get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro asks if she can call Masara during lunch. Masara says she does not care either way. The two go to Mitama&#039;s place together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro notices the summer festival flyer and asks if Masara is interested. Masara admits she is a little interested. Mitama laughs and says they can look forward to the future when there is something or someone important. Kokoro and Masara are confused by her comment, which exasperates Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks to herself that Masara will become stronger now that she has something to protect. For the first time, Masara finds herself thinking about the future, though she does not know why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Konomi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi welcomes Kaede and Kako to the flower shop where she works part-time. She began working at Blossom because the florist once comforted her as a crying child with a single flower, and now Konomi does the same for other children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konomi Haruna#Side Story|Konomi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a customer leaves, Kaede and Kako help the florist carry supplies. The florist recently returned from the hospital, having survived a serious illness.

Desperate to help, she wished to Kyubey to cure the florist&#039;s illness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;!--The Flashback: Their First Meeting--&amp;gt;Kaede and Kako visit the shop for the first time. Kako searches for a specific flower, which Konomi identifies. During tea break, Kako explains she read about the flowers in a novel and wants to buy some for a friend&#039;s birthday. Kaede admits she has never given flowers but receiving them once felt wonderful. Konomi smiles and says she has an idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of the flower giveaway, Konomi, Kaede, and Kako take to the streets, suddenly appearing to hand bouquets to strangers before disappearing. A lottery winner, a despairing old man, and a boy who just got a girl&#039;s number all receive flowers. Later, the girls reunite. Kaede gave to ten people, Kako to thirteen. Konomi apologizes, but they agree to try again the day after tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Konomi, Kaede, and Kako realize they are the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi panics, fearing they have made people hate flowers. They notice a little girl crying because her mother refused to buy her a toy ring. Konomi offers a flower, but the girl wants a ring. Kako fashions the flower into a ring, and the girl calls it pretty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi realizes they have been giving flowers without understanding what recipients truly want. She decides to create something more meaningful. Inspired by Kaede&#039;s mention of birthday flowers and Kako&#039;s knowledge of flower language, they plan an arrangement that speaks to people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi and the girls create a birthday cake made of fifty flowers, with chocolate and candy inside. The cake incorporates birth flowers so greetings can be communicated through their language. They prepare a fair at the shop to showcase it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi shows the cake to the florist, who gives a muted reaction and announces her retirement, planning to leave Konomi the shop.

The three girls reveal they are Magical Girls, track down the Witch, and destroy it together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Hinano, Emiri, Ria, Manaka, Akira&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Rika is invited to a blind date by Emiri Kisaki, who brings along Hinano Miyako, a girl recently heartbroken. When the boys on the date mock Hinano&#039;s youthful appearance and odd way of speaking, Rika surprises her by defending them. Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her. Emiri and Rika quickly reassure Hinano, with Rika adding that Hinano is actually cool for having been able to confess her feelings—unlike Rika, who never confessed at all and watched her crush end up with someone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri then suggests Rika should make a wish, revealing that she and Hinano are magical girls who each received one wish in exchange for fighting monsters. Rika wonders if this is some kind of game. Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika muses that her wish was granted and she is now dating her crush, yet she feels deeply unhappy. When Kyubey asks what is wrong, she admits that every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens with unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mayu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mayu is a third-year student at Mizuna Academy who works part-time at the Kamihama Contemporary Art Museum. When she accidentally breaks the museum director&#039;s cup, her boss handles the situation calmly and kindly. After work, she meets her friend Sayuki Fumino outside the museum, and when Sayuki cannot stay, Mayu&#039;s boss offers to accompany her to an exhibit instead. They later go to a cafe, where Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi are also present. Ria grows increasingly annoyed overhearing Mayu&#039;s conversation with her boss, particularly when he hints at wanting to take her somewhere else and praises her cooking. At home that evening, Mayu cooks for her mother and asks if her father would have eaten her cooking, wondering what life would be like if he were still alive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayu Kozue#Side Story|Mayu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at school, Mayu talks with Sayuki about the sword exhibit. She then heads to work, and after her shift ends, her boss mentions his wife and child are away and invites her out to eat. Mayu declines. As she leaves, she forgets her phone, and her boss rushes to return it, asking again about dinner with growing intensity. Ria suddenly appears and bumps into him, yelling at them for flirting and demanding they sit for a lecture. Mayu&#039;s boss says she ruined it and leaves. Ria warns Mayu that her sweet, innocent air attracts older men and that if things continue, his family will fall apart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home that night, Mayu reflects on the day she learned of her father&#039;s death and on Ria&#039;s words. Kyubey appears and offers a contract. Thinking she does not want her boss&#039;s family to suffer the same hardship her family did, Mayu makes her wish: to stop his family from breaking apart. That night, she narrates that her boss transferred to a new job, and she is sure her wish was granted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later at school, Mayu finds boys have started hitting on her. Ria constantly steps in to drive them off. Before Ria can finish telling Mayu to shape up, they both sense a Witch. The girls reveal they are Magical Girls, and they track the Witch to the museum&#039;s special exhibit room. Sayuki suddenly appears and reveals she is also a Magical Girl. During the fight, Mayu notices the Witch only targets Ria. She asks Sayuki to lend her strength and launches a surprise attack, destroying the Witch. Afterward, Mayu thinks that to protect people she must think clearly before acting, and Ria admits Mayu was more reliable than usual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As a child, Sayuki attends an idol performance with her parents, but when the crowd becomes dangerously wild, she is almost squeezed to death, leaving her with lasting trauma.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayuki Fumino#Side Story|Sayuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Growing up in a happy family, Sayuki develops a deep interest in katanas that creates a gap between her and her classmates. Though they respect her passion, she feels lonely without someone to share it with. This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert. Sayuki believes speaking out is important no matter the outcome and swears to protect the kind people who have been kind to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka.

===Riko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Sis = Miss K. Check what Exedra says&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Years ago, Riko spent her childhood with a cheerful older neighbor girl she called &amp;quot;Sis&amp;quot; while her parents worked long hours at their family bento shop. They grew as close as sisters until Sis became engaged to marry someone far away. When Sis&#039;s father suddenly opposed the match despite approving it before, Riko wished upon Kyubey that everyone would give their blessings to the marriage. Her wish worked, and Sis moved away happily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Riko Chiaki#Side Story|Riko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Riko struggles with loneliness waiting alone at home while her parents work overtime. One night, after they call to say they cannot return until after midnight due to a huge order, years of broken promises finally overwhelm her. She snaps, calls them liars who were never there for her like Sis was, and tells them she hates them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko goes Witch hunting to vent her stress but nearly dies against a stronger Witch. In that moment, despair crushes her and she wishes she had never made her wish so Sis would still be there. Tsukasa, a regular at her family&#039;s shop, finds her crying and listens as Riko confides everything about her feelings and what happened with Sis. Speaking from experience, Tsukasa tells her that separation is no excuse for broken contact and recommends she reach out to Sis directly. Riko messages Sis that night before falling asleep exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sis replies promptly. She explains she wanted to contact Riko but left home after arguing with her father and thought a visit would be awkward. She also reveals she was hospitalized to give birth and only discharged that day, inviting Riko to come see her instead. When Riko asks her parents for permission, expecting them to refuse, they apologize sincerely and grant permission for the trip.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Riko visits Sis with her parents. Sis introduces her husband and newborn daughter, hoping Riko will get along with her child just as they once got along. Riko makes a silent promise to be a good sister to this baby and aims to grow into a fine lady, just like Sis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maria&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Maria bids her parents goodbye for the day. Her mother gives her money for dinner, which Maria insists on keeping only a small portion of, and Maria mentions she will be at her part‑time daycare job after school. On her way to school, she runs into two little girls, one of whom attends the daycare where she works.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the daycare, the children swarm Maria with requests. She notices a boy named Shin‑kun looking down and tries to find out what is wrong, but he does not want to talk. Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work. Maria suggests she spend a day with Shin to reconnect, and Shin’s mother agrees. Maria promises to put together a plan by the weekend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Maria’s classmates tease her about being a widow with a love child, and she plays along before explaining she is helping a mother and son from the daycare. Later she presents her weekend plans to Shin’s mother, who is impressed and begins looking forward to the outing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, Maria goes to the park where she knows Shin and his mother should be. She watches as they struggle to connect: Shin wants to play in a fountain, but his mother cannot explain why he should not, and they end up standing awkwardly. Maria pretends to run into them and decides to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to the playground, where Maria encourages Shin to try a tightrope bridge. When he gets nervous, she prompts his mother to take his hand, and together they cross. After lunch, Shin’s mother gets a call from work asking her to come in on her day off. She agrees, and Shin looks heartbroken. Maria offers to watch Shin until dark, and his mother gratefully accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria takes Shin to various places, and he sadly remarks that his mother is too busy for him. Understanding his loneliness, Maria vows to make the day special. At the aquarium she convinces him to see a show he ends up loving. As evening falls, they stop for takoyaki, and Maria explains that his mother tells him not to eat while walking for good reasons. Shin finally understands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shin’s mother appears, explaining work no longer needs her. She admits she has trouble expressing herself, but Shin overhears and hugs her. They both confess they thought the other did not love them. Maria shares that she was often lonely as a child but still loved her parents, and she tells Shin’s mother she does not need to be perfect. Shin shows his mother the souvenir and the last piece of takoyaki he saved for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As darkness falls, Maria walks home alone. She reflects on whether she could ever be a good mother, remembering Kyubey’s revelation that her Soul Gem is her actual soul and her body is merely a vessel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mel stays home after her reading warns of lethal danger, but Kanagi dismisses her concerns and drags her to school anyway. On the way, a Witch targets only Mel before escaping, and a possessed car then attempts to run her down. She flees west into the Mizuno region, where Yachiyo saves her. Despite Kanagi&#039;s warnings about discrimination from the West, Yachiyo&#039;s kindness puts her at ease, and Mel accepts her invitation to stay. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she requests to join Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kanagi gives permission. From that day, Mel bonds with Mifuyu, Tsuruno, and Momoko as part of her new team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One other day, Mel arrives excitedly with entirely positive readings and offers to read the team&#039;s fortunes. Despite Yachiyo&#039;s skepticism, Mel coaxes her into a session predicting a career breakthrough.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Yachiyo announces with disbelief that she was chosen for a nationwide magazine feature on Kamihama&#039;s cafes. Mifuyu and Momoko then receive positive readings about a matchmaking and exam results.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes. Afterward they visit Mitama, who suggests they train in Endless Mirrors if they plan to remain independent rather than join Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Temari and Mikura commute to school exhausted. Temari stayed up testing a new metal pen, and Mikura correctly guesses she is in modern literature mode.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Temari is distracted thinking about Witch strategies while Mikura worries about Seira, who had fallen asleep in class from exhaustion. Seira joins them, and Temari suggests they create their own space to escape the stress of magical girl life. Seira proposes forming a school club where they can pursue their hobbies freely, and they agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Seira secures an empty classroom as a provisional club room under the name Historical Research Club. On paper they study history, but in reality it becomes their oasis for reading, watching films, and relaxing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the girls are enjoying their club activities, yet Temari still feels unsettled about not knowing her magic. Mikura reflects that they have been following Temari’s suggestions lately—staying independent, creating the club—but says she will mention it if she notices anything. When Mikura asks what Temari is reading, Temari replies she is still on the same author, and Mikura calls her as unpredictable as ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Hotori&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Last part is after the tea drinking moon party&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hotori and her twin Rion prepare for a school camping trip. Hotori gets distracted watching her favorite sentai show, Dragoon Red, and Rion teases her for still liking children’s fantasy. Hotori wants to bring her notebook of heroic quotes, but Rion tells her not to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Her classmates notice her notebook and encourage her to become who she wants to be.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At camp, Hotori’s group hikes through the forest. She is frightened by insects, and when Rion appears and drives her friends away, Hotori ends up scolded for letting her sister interfere. Reading quotes from her heroes, she manages to calm herself and finishes the hike feeling she has changed a little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During archery, Hotori struggles to pull the bowstring but remembers Dragoon Red’s words about perseverance and manages to shoot. Rion performs better, but Hotori’s friends cheer her up. Rion later mentions the night’s test of courage, and though Hotori is scared, she refuses to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

There Hotori realizes she left her notebook behind; Rion goes back to retrieve it but does not return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotori lies to the teachers and searches the forest. She finds Kyubey, who offers her a contract: any wish in exchange for becoming a magical girl who fights witches. When she finds Rion acting strangely, Kyubey explains Rion has a witch’s kiss. Rion enters a witch’s barrier, and Hotori follows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Terrified but thinking of Dragoon Red’s words, Hotori makes her wish: “I wish to be a hero strong enough to protect Rion.” She defeats the witch alone, saves Rion, and is relieved when her sister wakes up safe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Months later, Hotori now fights witches with a team. During one battle she freezes and is saved by Rion and Yukika Nanase. Yukika asks about Hotori’s notebook, and Hotori explains she wants to be brave like the sentai heroes. Yukika privately knows the truth from another timeline: the twins’ memories were altered by Rion’s wish, and Hotori’s original wish may have been to become strong enough to protect Rion. Hotori, unaware, continues striving to be a hero.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Meguru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;

===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Eternal Sakura begins as a story Iroha tells to Ui, Touka, and Nemu at the hospital—a tale of a girl waiting by a sakura tree to reunite with her three friends. Nemu loves it so much she writes it down, naming it the Eternal Sakura of Promises. That is Sakura&#039;s beginning, though she is only words in a notebook.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When Walpurgisnacht attacks and the crisis ends, Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu finally come to her meadow, reunited at last. The sakura tree bursts into bloom.

Ryo asks to interview Ikumi for a Magius newsletter about why she became a magical girl, and Ikumi agrees in exchange for hearing Ryo&#039;s story later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ikumi Makino#Side Story|Ikumi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi explains how in middle school she dreamed of becoming an idol despite lacking talent, while her friend Yumi dreamed of volleyball. They realized they could fulfill each other&#039;s dreams instead. Yumi became a volleyball ace while Ikumi pursued idol training, though she struggled because her natural personality kept slipping through her cutesy act and she failed to gain recognition. Kyubey repeatedly offered her a contract, but she refused because wishing for her dream would mean she never achieved it through hard work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In high school, Ikumi worked at a school-organized maid cafe that gave struggling students performance opportunities. Though other girls were scouted for idol work and customers called her old-fashioned, she built a small fanbase. When the cafe was forced to close due to building eviction, Ikumi grieved alone on the final night. Kyubey appeared and reminded her that her wish didn&#039;t have to be for her own dream. Thinking of how much the cafe meant to her and others who dreamed there, she wished for it to continue running.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her wish came true when the landowner, moved by the final performance, sold the cafe to the school who remodeled and reopened it. Later, while fighting a witch, Ikumi was saved by another magical girl who turned out to be Yumi. Yumi revealed she had wished for someone to recognize Ikumi&#039;s talents and give her an idol chance. The two teamed up and spent a happy year together hunting witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day they encountered a powerful witch who badly injured Yumi&#039;s leg, threatening her sports scholarship. In despair, Yumi unleashed her doppel. Ryo appeared and helped them escape, and Mitama later explained about doppels. Soon after, Mifuyu approached them with a healer who restored Yumi&#039;s leg. Mifuyu explained about witches and the Wings of Magius, who aimed to liberate magical girls from this fate. Ikumi immediately joined, grateful for Yumi&#039;s healing and hating the thought of losing her dream or becoming a witch. Yumi eventually joined too, and Mifuyu introduced them as Black Feathers to Ryo, who recognized Ikumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Ryo thanks Ikumi for her story and suggests she stop forcing the idol personality since she naturally slips out of it anyway. Ikumi cries about being bullied before realizing she is late for work and runs off, promising to see Ryo tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* At Kosho Academy, Seira Mihono searches for a protagonist with a secret for her new film. Her classmates suggest Rui, a mysterious girl who never talks about herself. Rui, who knows the rumors are untrue, feels guilty.

===Akari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari wakes Hotaru after school. Hotaru notices Akari&#039;s Puchi-Usa keychain, which Haruto drew for her when she was young. Akari decides to tell Hotaru about her wish and how she became a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akari Mai#Side Story|Akari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari explains that she has always loved Haruto, but he treats her only as a little sister. When Haruto entered high school, he stopped walking with her due to club activities. Akari heard a rumor that Haruto was dating his club manager. Distressed, she wished to Kyubey to become 16 years old like Mimiko-chan, the transforming heroine she admired.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her wish only allowed her to transform temporarily. She turned back into an elementary schooler afterward. Akari regretted not wishing for everyone to perceive her as 16 from the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Akari patrolled for Witches and found Haruto under a Witch&#039;s Kiss. She saved him in her 16-year-old form. Haruto did not recognize her and thanked her as a stranger. He gave her his jacket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari returned Haruto&#039;s jacket, claiming a stranger asked her to return it. Haruto admitted he had fallen in love with the girl who saved him—not realizing it was Akari.

* The bunny Nene died. Akari cried. Haruto came to give her a new Puchi-Usa keychain but hid it when he saw her crying. He comforted her and told her it was okay to cry. Akari loved his kindness and subtle thoughtfulness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari ran into Haruto while patrolling. Haruto was looking for the 16-year-old girl. Akari became jealous and badmouthed her 16-year-old self, calling her suspicious and a liar. Haruto got angry at Akari for speaking ill of someone she did not know. Akari ran away, feeling she was not worthy of him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari hid in an alley. Haruto came looking for her. A Witch appeared, and Haruto was under another Witch&#039;s Kiss. Hotaru appeared and caught Haruto with a pillow before he could jump. Hotaru and Akari defeated the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotaru revealed she had been watching over Akari since the bunny hutch. She told Akari that her kindness was one of her good points. Akari realized the 16-year-old version Haruto fell for was still a part of her. Hotaru encouraged her to apologize properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari, still in her 16-year-old form, lied to Haruto that she had taken Akari under her protection. Haruto was relieved and admitted he was too harsh with Akari. He said he did not want her to become someone who speaks ill of others. Akari apologized to Haruto in person. Haruto forgave her and said he was proud of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari resolved to become a wonderful adult on her own, without magic, and capture Haruto&#039;s heart when she was truly 16. She thanked Hotaru for giving her the push to apologize but Hotaru fell asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ryoko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryoko’s story begins at Suitoku Temple, the Tokime Tribe’s base, which was slated for demolition while officials hid the harm it would cause.

Raised by her grandfather in a strict Buddhist temple, she is told her mother was a hero who saved the country yet died and left her behind.

===Kush&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama’s adjuster shop, Karin Misono finds Kush sleeping inside the tent. Mitama explains that Kush cannot stay awake during the day due to her wish: “I just want the morning to never come.” Kush reveals she made her wish because she longed to live in a fantasy world like the one in her favorite book, &#039;Good‑Bye Fable,&#039; and her magical girl outfit resembles the story’s protagonist. Ui Tamaki and Little Kyubey arrive, and Kush briefly attacks Little Kyubey, mistaking him for the Kyubey she despises. Over tea, Mitama notices Kush’s long canine teeth stained red and later receives a message from her sister Mikage about a rumor of a vampire girl in the Hokuyo Mountains. Karin and Kush agree to investigate together, but Kush runs off to her night class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kush can see in the dark and leads them, but she is still sleepy. They find a discarded camera containing a video of Rui Mizuki dropping it and disappearing. When a mysterious sound frightens the others, they accidentally leave Kush behind. Left alone, Kush eats cherry tomatoes and senses a witch. The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one. They also learn that Rui is Kush’s friend; she had filmed Kush entering the barrier before being caught by it. The group later glimpses a white‑haired silhouette and flees, thinking a real vampire might exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley posts a video warning others to stay away from the mountains. At Mitama’s shop, Ui hears about the incident and learns the vampire was just a misunderstanding.

===Homura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Homura Akemi in Magia Record#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is flooded with more memories of her other self preparing for Walpurgisnacht with allies. She wonders if there might be a real possibility for salvation in this timeline, where no one has to be sacrificed. However, she believes it has nothing to do with her. She breaks out of the labyrinth and the dream ends. Kyubey asks if she was curious about what happened to her other self. Homura says it does not matter; she believes in Madoka&#039;s words that her efforts will not be in vain. A new universe is about to be born, and Homura must protect it for Madoka&#039;s sake. Kyubey states they will both forget Madoka, but Homura is determined to never forget her.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new universe where Witches do not exist, Kyoko is surprised to find Sayaka has disappeared. Mami explains the Law of Cycles causes Magical Girls to disappear when they lose hope. Homura cries as she remembers Madoka, but neither Mami nor Kyoko know who Madoka is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka spend the day together in Kamihama, enjoying each other’s company until they encounter Ria Ami, a model and magical girl who has already defeated the witch they were tracking. Ria invites them to tea and later takes them to the fashion district, where she notices that Homura’s attention never leaves Madoka. Admitting her jealousy, Ria says she wishes someone would look at her the same way, and Homura replies that she will protect Madoka. After Ria departs, Homura thinks that even if Madoka does not realize how cool she is, she will still save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Homura steals weapons from a group called the Soukaihou using her time stop, but she is caught afterward by Meiyui Chun, a magical girl affiliated with the group. Instead of punishing her, Meiyui thanks her for taking weapons that belonged to troublemakers and invites Homura to share mapo tofu. Over the meal, Meiyui learns Homura fights to protect someone precious to her and says she understands, offering her support and suggesting the spicy dish whenever the burden becomes too painful to bear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Homura is practicing her shooting alone when Natsuki Utsuho, a magical girl who cheers for others, offers to encourage her. Natsuki deduces Homura’s time stop ability and gives advice that significantly improves her aim. When Natsuki suggests Homura ask Mami to coach her, Homura calls, and Mami arrives within an hour. Mami uses her ribbons to move within Homura’s time stop during a sparring match, praising her rapid progress afterward. Homura agrees to return to Mitakihara with Mami, reflecting that she will keep moving forward to become a magical girl capable of protecting Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Sayaka arrives in Kamihama City to go shopping with Kyosuke Kamijou, though she insists it is not a date. When she hears a scream, she runs toward it and discovers Hinano Miyako at an empty elementary school. Hinano explains she was bumped on the head while setting up the chemistry lab, and Sayaka decides to help investigate. They find the culprit was a baseball that flew through the window from the baseball club practicing outside. Hinano returns the ball to a child and gives Sayaka a perfume she made, wishing her good luck on her date despite Sayaka&#039;s protests.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later in the shopping district, Emiri Kisaki approaches Sayaka, drawn by the perfume.

* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart. She also finds Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, who were never supposed to become magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Panicking because she cannot prevent magical girls from becoming witches in this universe, Madoka investigates. She discovers the source blocking her intervention originated when the Holy Quintet first visited Kamihama, and she observes how Touka and Nemu—fated to die in every other universe—are alive and plotting with the Magius to lure Walpurgis Night to hatch Eve. Madoka reflects that their plan, if successful, would achieve what she herself accomplished. Unsure whether to intervene, she decides to investigate further and chooses Iroha as her next focal point, since this is the only universe where Iroha contracted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka observes Iroha’s past and finds the singular difference: on a normal day, Iroha took her usual shortcut but accidentally kicked a small pebble, nearly making her late. This tiny butterfly effect led to Iroha contracting and Ui, Nemu, and Touka surviving, derailing the universe’s fate. Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka decides not to interfere, fearing a clash that could destroy the universe.

She witnesses a spatial distortion connecting Mitakihara to Kamihama City and begins to suspect Kamihama might hold the key to changing the future. Oriko sends Kirika to Kamihama under the pretense of buying tea, instructing her to gather information from Mami and other magical girls there. She then takes Yuma to Kamihama herself, leaving her inside a witch barrier knowing Kyoko will come to rescue her. While exploring Kamihama for answers, Oriko nearly dies inside a powerful witch barrier and realizes she needs Kirika&#039;s help to continue. Kirika eventually returns home safely, reporting that Mami and Kyoko are also investigating Kamihama and that the city has an unusually high number of witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* After Mitakihara City’s school closing ceremony, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura walk out together. Sayaka is glad the term is over, Madoka is excited, and Homura admits she will feel lonely without seeing them every day. Sayaka ruffles her hair and says they can still meet over break, whether hunting witches or hanging out. Madoka suggests visiting Mizuna Shrine in Kamihama for New Year’s to draw “Ultimate Fortunes.” Sayaka has other plans but encourages them to go together. After she leaves, Madoka asks Homura if she knows how to put on formal wear. Homura does not, so Madoka invites her to a kimono‑dressing class she found, saying she wanted the two of them to dress up with Sayaka but lacked the courage to go alone. Homura agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class, the instructor dresses them first; Madoka thinks Homura looks beautiful, and Homura calls Madoka cute. When the actual lesson begins, Madoka struggles badly and trips, while Homura learns quickly enough that the instructor says she will have no trouble. Madoka takes a break outside, feeling useless. Sayaka happens by and asks why she wanted to dress up in the first place - to have fun. Sayaka tells her not to overthink; even if she makes mistakes, she will still have the memories.

Aimi mentions she is shopping for materials to knit a scarf or gloves for a boy named Hayato.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** &#039;&#039;&#039;Third Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes: buy a lucky bag costing one million Magica. They search for a store and take a break at a cafe. They see Ria being interviewed and overhear a boy named Hayato saying he needs a warmer scarf. They find Kokoro and Masara, who lead them to a stationery lucky bag. Kokoro mentions Tsukasa is still looking for Tsukuyo. Madoka wants to help Tsukasa, and Homura agrees. They find Tsukuyo, who has been wandering and dropped something important.

Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko and Nagisa meet the teacher and children at the park. The kids immediately recognize Kyoko, so the pair double down on the movie lie. The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the performance, Kyoko and Sayaka use quick‑change costumes while Nagisa sneaks discarded clothes off set. The children are awed by the glowing weapons and effects, explained with lighting tricks and soap bubbles. After the class leaves, the group reviews the footage and decides to keep a copy. Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko returns the props to Sayuki, then visits an aquarium to pass time. As she leaves, she spots the same kindergarteners, detects a witch, and rushes to fight it. She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She is hunting for discounted Valentine&#039;s chocolate. She visits Sugar Plum but finds the chocolate coins sold out. She runs into Kyoko.

** At the Pink Tapir station store, a clerk informs them the sale has moved to a new outlet location and gives them a map. On the way, a delivery truck carrying the chocolate coins is possessed by a Witch&#039;s Kiss and goes on a rampage. Nagisa and Kyoko chase it, jump onto the truck, and enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Nagisa uses her forbidden technique to defeat the Witch. The truck and other vehicles are unharmed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the outlet store and buy the chocolate coins. Nagisa reflects on her memory of eating Pink Tapir chocolate coins for the first time at a hospital charity event when her mother was sick. She wonders if this universe&#039;s Nagisa would have had the same experience. She and Kyoko hurry to Mami&#039;s chocolate party. Kyoko reveals she bought a chocolate cake from Sugar Plum for everyone. Nagisa shares her pink chocolate coins. Mami is happy they are getting along. The next day, the chocolate hunt continues. At the outlet store, Ms. Saotome buys chocolate coins for a hospital charity event, continuing the tradition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Ria, Mayu, and Manaka give the sisters their rented beach space, and the sisters end up spending the day with Team Yachiyo in a water pistol shooting match. They have more fun than they expected, but Tsukuyo suffers a heat stroke and is cared for by the group after Tsukasa panics. When Tsukasa tries to repay the favor, Yachiyo jokes that she should quit the Wings of Magius, then smiles when Tsukasa refuses as expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede, Rena, and Momoko have picked out new swimsuits. Momoko could not buy one because she spent her allowance on a concert tour. They decide to go to the beach together. Kaede mentions that Mikazuki Villa is renting a lodge for a study camp. Rena asks Yachiyo if they can join. Yachiyo agrees. They arrive at the lodge. Yachiyo announces that everyone must complete ten pages of homework per subject per day before they can play.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rena &amp;amp; Kaede (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena negotiates with Yachiyo: if they can finish all three days&#039; worth of homework in one day, they can play at the beach tomorrow. Everyone agrees. They study hard together. Rena suggests a reward system to stay motivated. They shout encouragement like at an idol concert. Yachiyo and Momoko help with difficult problems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Rena, Kaede, and Momoko finally play at the beach. Mitama, Kanagi, and Mifuyu visit. Mitama has brought homemade rice balls as a reward. To decide who gets them, they hold a fishing contest. Rena and Kaede catch a pufferfish but come in second place. Kanagi wins first place and gets stuck with Mitama&#039;s cooking. Mifuyu is affected first. Rena and Kaede eat the remaining Mitama musubi and feel sick. They rest for the rest of the afternoon. Yachiyo goes shopping alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Rena and Kaede notice Yachiyo acting strange. They follow her and find her with fireworks. Yachiyo admits she bought them for everyone but felt too shy to ask. Rena and Kaede insist on setting them off together. They gather everyone. The group enjoys fireworks on the beach. Rena and Kaede stay up late playing with the leftovers. Momoko reflects on how much they have changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They browse swimsuits, but Mitama insists on choosing thoughtfully rather than buying on a whim. They separate briefly, and Mitama runs into Mikage, deflecting questions about what she’s doing. Momoko later admits she also had to make excuses after running into Rena and Kaede. Instead of buying swimsuits, Mitama brings Momoko back for an adjustment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On contest day, Mitama and Momoko play on the beach. They learn the contest requires performing a shared beach memory with chemistry.

While playing, they fight a Witch together—the first time Mitama has teamed up with someone—then run straight into Rena, Kaede, and Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They win by performing the events of the day instead of their planned story. Rena claims the stuffed bunny, and Mikage gets the Candy World tickets, immediately inviting Mitama. Apologies are exchanged, and the others ask for no more secrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The girl realizes it was an accident and offers to help clear Mitama’s name, but Mitama declines, saying she no longer needs it because she has someone who believes in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The group spends the day swimming, building a sandcastle, and splitting into smaller activities. While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond.

===Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story and Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
It has two versions I made, assimilate them if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomuradsSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At registration, Mitama announces all participants must wear swimwear, offering to transform their outfits for free. Homura is surprisingly excited, and Sayaka gets roped into wearing a ridiculous mushroom‑mermaid costume designed by Kanoko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka in her costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The non‑waterproof suit causes Sayaka to be electrocuted by its built‑in fan, but her Doppel activates and saves her. The Doppel drags Yachiyo into the water, and Yachiyo begins water‑skiing using her fishing rod while being pulled around.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura manages to fish up the Doppel and wins the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other&#039;s backs.

** Later that day, Homura confronts her Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying summer and relying on Madoka’s kindness. The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurads&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura visit a seaside villa on the outskirts of Kamihama. They meet Felicia and her friends briefly. After parting ways, they decide to visit an aquarium. They participate in an accessory-making workshop using star sand. Inside the aquarium, they meet Ashley, an exchange student from the United States, and Riko. Ashley recognizes them as Magical Girls from Mitakihara because she encountered their copies in Endless Mirrors. They chat and learn Ashley is making videos about kawaii things in Japan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Waverider)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After parting ways with Ashley and Riko, Sayaka wants to visit a CD store. She hopes to find rare CDs for Kyosuke. At the store, she reaches for the same CD as a woman. They discover they both use notepads to track CDs. The woman is Takamine&#039;s wife—Takamine was a violinist who passed away. She collects his recordings to show her daughter. They exchange contact information. Sayaka mentions the upcoming flea market.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Sayaka and Kyoko transform into swimsuits and ride a surfboard to retrieve it, using Nagisa&#039;s floaty as a distraction. The hat is recovered. Takamine&#039;s wife realizes she lost her notepad. Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while waiting, Nagisa and Riko play with water guns. Sayaka&#039;s group relaxes on the beach. Madoka and Homura find Sayaka&#039;s copy in Mirrors.

** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring. They plan for future fights: Sayaka will handle Familiars, Madoka and Homura will immobilize the Witch, and Mami will finish it off. Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the team encounters a paramedic and a girl under a Witch&#039;s influence. They enter the Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. The paramedic wakes up and thanks them and the team slips away quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of school after summer vacation, Mami calls Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura to the roof. Kyoko and Nagisa fought a powerful Witch and retreated.

Mami will finish it off with her new firework attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They rescue the captured people. A paramedic from earlier recognizes them and offers to take care of the victims. The team rushes to school but is late.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko invites Homura, Mami, Sayaka, and Madoka to the beach using tickets Mitama gave her after another accidental transformation into her magical swimsuit. The group swims, then Kyoko dominates the buffet. They discover a cliff diving spot, where Sayaka, Mami, and Kyoko take turns jumping while Madoka and Homura watch. They agree to return the day after next, since Madoka is busy the following day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kyoko asks Mitama to let her keep the swimsuit form for the summer, then heads to the beach alone.

Ui improves, but a rip current nearly sweeps her away; Kyoko rescues her. Moved by Ui’s determination, Kyoko keeps training her until sunset, and Ui finally masters swimming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully. Later, Kyoko visits Mitama to revert her outfit, explaining she wants to learn swimming properly rather than relying on magic. She trades a Grief Seed for money to buy ramune as payment for a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Eternal Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Momoko Togame (Sanctified)#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;

She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;

===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at the Wings of Magius, Alina asks Nemu to create a rumor for her. She will let it grow, then take it into herself and use it to achieve her greatest goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Touka and Nemu separately sneak to Ui’s room to leave apology notes. They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They first visit Mitama’s shop, where they meet Maria and Konomi. Mikage hands out sweets, crediting Lavi’s teaching, and Mitama permits them to visit the Mikazuki girls after receiving a cake. At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the real world, Tsuruno gives gelato to Ui and Felicia. Ui is absorbed in playing a game called &amp;quot;Little Vacation&amp;quot; on Tsuruno&#039;s phone. The game follows Tsuruno and Felicia as Reindeer Santas traveling to reach the End of the World and the Wishing Star.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia (Special Delivery)#Side Story|Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno uses the Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a hint: &amp;quot;The key is something you don&#039;t know the importance of until it&#039;s gone. This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The girls encourage Tsuruno and Felicia to leave since they were not originally trapped. Tsuruno and Felicia walk out easily. They promise to return once they find a way to free everyone. They leave, having failed to deliver smiles for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Town of Miraculous ☆ Prestidigitations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the next town. They meet Mitama, a magician performing tricks, and twins Rion and Hotori. Mitama attempts to teleport Hotori but accidentally duplicates her. There are now two Hotoris. Tsuruno and Felicia try to help. The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win. The duplicates are left behind. The single Tsuruno who lost is left alone without Reindeer-san #2 or the Okamochi Box. She decides to continue traveling anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; The three Tsurunos reunite and discuss the hints from the Okamochi Box. They realize &amp;quot;three heads are better than one&amp;quot; refers to them working together to solve the Maze Town puzzle. They also realize the key in Maze Town was a &amp;quot;smile&amp;quot;—something Ren had lost along the way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game. Game Tsuruno is surprised, saying the actual people probably do not play the game anymore.

===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents. Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia return home and ask to hear the full story, so Yachiyo retrieves the scarf from the time capsule where she had hidden it years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Check on the days again to make sure how many days pass. It&#039;s possible it&#039;s all just one day&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami finds herself in a strange white fog, speaking with two other versions of herself. Holy Mami claims she has learned the truth about magical girls from Alina Gray and Touka Satomi and has found a way to save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami has tea with Touka and Alina at a house rented for her by Touka. Mami explains she has not returned to Mitakihara because her priority is releasing magical girls. Touka and Alina offer to lecture her on what she needs to study. Alina grows disturbingly excited discussing van Gogh&#039;s Sunflowers, and Touka lectures at length on mathematics until Alina interrupts. Mami reassures them she will ask for help when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina receives a call from the Amane sisters requesting help with a Witch. Touka asks Mami to assist, explaining she has a lecture to give at noon to recruit skilled magical girls. Mami agrees, reflecting that releasing magical girls requires Grief Seeds, protecting Rumors, and raising Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane waiting for her. They explain the Witch has moved and the Black Feathers are monitoring it. A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren plan for their friends’ Christmas party a week away and promise to spend Christmas Eve together. While looking at options in a magazine, they cannot decide on a place. Ren buys the magazine to think it over, privately hoping to choose somewhere that will make Rika happy, though she doubts whether she truly belongs beside her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ren visits Emiri’s consultation room but finds only Akira and Ria Ami. She explains her dilemma, and Ria takes her around town to evaluate possible locations. They rule out a restaurant, an amusement park, and a romantic cafe, eventually settling on the Minagi Aquarium. Ria is surprised to learn Ren is planning an outing with Rika, not a boyfriend, but Ren leaves feeling confident in her choice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Christmas Eve, Rika attends a party with her school friends. When she mentions she will spend Christmas Eve at the aquarium with a friend, her friends press to join, but Rika refuses. She advises them not to look for boyfriends just to avoid being alone. Later, while walking with her friends, Rika spots Ren chasing after Aimi Eri. She follows and finds Ren comforting Aimi over a misunderstanding involving a boy; the situation resolves without trouble.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Ren waits for Rika, who messages that she overslept with a fever. Ren worries Rika became sick chasing after her the day before. Before she can reply, Aimi finds her, and they go shopping together. Aimi encourages Ren to visit Rika instead of staying apart. Ren goes to Rika’s house, knocks on her window, and insists they spend Christmas together there so Rika can rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They exchange gifts: Ren gives Rika scented candles, having noticed Rika’s interest from a sticky note, and Rika gives Ren a glass candlestick. Rika hopes they can visit the aquarium another time, and Ren leaves happy to have shared Christmas with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, assimilate them if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumor Tsuruno begins designing the park, adding a merry-go-round, roller coaster, spa, shops, and a cafe. The mascots warn that once the park is complete, she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world. Rumor Tsuruno claims no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she imagines comfort foods with hot pot as the main star, she is reminded of Mikazuki Villa. She brushes it off and completes the park. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Uwasa Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana looks at a Mr. Purrs-a-lot picture book and feels down. Ui notices and asks what is wrong. Sana admits she wants to become a picture book author to help people who are suffering like she once was. She has many ideas but does not know how to write them. Ui encourages her.

Sana writes the first part of the story: Aoi leaves the &amp;quot;Land of Beginnings&amp;quot; and arrives at the &amp;quot;Land of Blessings,&amp;quot; where residents constantly fight. Aoi suggests a picnic to help them understand each other. The residents grow closer. Ui enjoys the story. Sana reveals she wants to leave behind proof of Ai&#039;s existence before she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana asks Nemu for permission to use a character modelled after Ai in her picture book. Nemu agrees, saying she is happy Sana wishes to preserve Ai. Nemu advises Sana on how to become a published author: enter contests or approach publishers directly. Sana becomes discouraged when she realizes she would have to interact with people who cannot see her. She leaves feeling hopeless.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana wanders alone, feeling invisible. She helps a girl find a lost ring but is not noticed. She thinks her dream is impossible. Tsuruno, Felicia, and Ui find her, worried because she was not answering calls. Iroha and Yachiyo also arrive. Nemu calls and suggests Sana could use an agent to communicate with publishers, avoiding direct meetings. Sana regains her resolve. Yachiyo tells her not to give up on her dream. Iroha and the others promise to support her. Sana realizes she has a family to help her get back up.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana finishes her first picture book, &amp;quot;A Small Encounter.&amp;quot; The story follows Shana, an invisible girl who is found by Aoi and makes her first friend.

===Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 1 (Flashback/Reflection)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi wakes from a nap and remembers the dream she had when fused with the Kimochi. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words that helped her realize she had not truly given up. Iroha told her that those who have given up do not fight, and that Lavi came to Kamihama because she still wanted to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro (Kimochi)#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects on the hope she once held—a daydream of a peaceful life where magical girls are understood. In that dream, she helped her mother, tended fields with her grandfather, watched Urara&#039;s street performances, and attended exhibitions with Shirogane. She encountered other magical girls: Asahi, Haitani, Kuroda, Urara, and Alexandra. They fought witches together and enjoyed everyday moments. Lavi realized she had locked away this hope because remembering it was painful. But now, through her connection with Iroha and her time with Nayuta, she has begun to see the future again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Due to a scheduling mistake, everyone arrives at the same inn on the same day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** There is not enough premium beef for dinner. The groups compete in hot spring table tennis, karaoke, and pillow fights to decide who gets the meat. Yuna cheats in table tennis and is disqualified. The karaoke machine is outdated. The pillow fight becomes chaotic. Asahi saves the day with gibier meat. Everyone shares the meal and enjoys the evening together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects that this bustling, noisy future is unlike her usual self, but she realizes she has been yearning for it deep down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 3 (Reality/Current Time)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi teaches Nayuta cooking. They discuss their futures: Nayuta wants to study magical girls at a university different from her father&#039;s. Lavi wants to help at her family&#039;s inn while spreading magical girl activities. They plan a trip with Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Upon arriving at Cradle of the Earth in Yukuni, they encounter Mikazuki Villa, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and the Tokime Clan—just as in Lavi&#039;s dream. There is again not enough meat for dinner.

She announces they will compete over the meat and create a new future with all of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day, Yachiyo wakes at Mikazuki Villa and briefly senses Iroha&#039;s magical signature before it disappears. She sends Felicia and Sana off to school, then meets Momoko, Rena, and Kaede for lunch. Rena confesses she screamed in class, unable to contain her frustration that everyone has forgotten Iroha.

Yachiyo receives a call from Tsuruno: Felicia has run away. That evening, Felicia calls, planning to leave Kamihama to escape her guilt. Yachiyo tracks her location and rushes to the station with Tsuruno. Tsuruno finds Felicia, who confesses she cannot forget Iroha. Tsuruno shares Yachiyo&#039;s message: they should say &amp;quot;thank you&amp;quot; rather than &amp;quot;I&#039;m sorry.&amp;quot; Felicia agrees and returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When the others refuse to help, she attempts to go alone. Felicia uses her oblivion magic on Yachiyo and she forgets the plan entirely. Yachiyo continues preparing lunch as if nothing happened. They travel to the Rumor for the picnic. Along the way, Yachiyo asks the others to stop her if she ever loses control and tries something insane, admitting she can act on impulse when she loses composure. She also tells them they are all irreplaceable to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Two Hands in Harmony|Two Hands in Harmony]]&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. It may already be done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane complain about being overworked as guardians of a Rumor and fear the anger of Touka, Alina, and Nemu. They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

===A Taste of Hospitality===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - A Taste of Hospitality|A Taste of Hospitality]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko and Ashley help Mitama film a video about her Coordinator services, whre she explains that she adjusts Soul Gems to draw out hidden potential, that she sees memories during adjustments but keeps them confidential, and that she also sells items for Magical Girls. As payment for the video, Riko gives Mitama an origami dog (Mameji) and Ashley gives her blue candy from her home, both of which Mitama puts in a box.&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, Mitama receives many gifts from Magical Girls, including Kokoro, Reira, Mito, Felicia, Ayame, Kako, Yachiyo, Karin, Himika, Rika and Emiri, the last of whom says that when people share their favorite things, it means they want to share what they love with Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama hums happily, which Momoko and Kanagi notice and feel a bad omen. Mitama announces that she wants to share what she loves with everyone and that she plans a party with food that she will cook. She asks Momoko and Kanagi to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;

===Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin|Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One winter’s day before Christmas, Rika and Ren go shopping together. The town has no Christmas decorations and people seem depressed. They hear a distressed voice and find Mitama, wearing a Santa&#039;s beard and hat, and she introduces herself as a Christmas Spirit. Mitama says her job is to make everyone happy, but the task is too big. She gives Rika and Ren some of her magic, explaining that the magic requires them to be perfectly attuned to each other, and then she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, a swallow Familiar appears, claiming to be Mitama’s pupil and Rika names him Chirpie. Chirpie explains that Mitama saved him when he fell from his nest and gave him magic. He can sense cowardly hearts lacking courage and Rika and Ren must drive out ten cowardly hearts to make the town happy. Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chirpie leads them to Felicia and Sana, who had accidentally smashed a cake and are now arguing about who should apologize to Yachiyo. Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 13th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mitama is away from her shop, but Tsuruno is there, using the kitchen to make chocolate bonbons with a friend. She plans to surprise everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;

Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;

She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

* Hinano and Emiri attend a chemistry event. Hinano is excited to see a chemist who reminds her of the woman she idolized as a child—a tall, long-legged lady who taught fun chemistry experiments. Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;

She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river.

Tsuruno volunteers the group to help until the staff arrives. Yachiyo worries they might cause trouble, but Iroha, Ui, and Sana want to try. They agree to help. Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the next day, the group arrives at the pool for opening day. Yachiyo handles reception. The ticket scanner malfunctions and a line forms. Mitama appears—she had plans with Iroha that were canceled. She offers to help and fixes the scanner by hitting it. The staff member returns and takes over.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama notices Yachiyo has something on her mind and suggests she talk to someone she trusts. Iroha later asks Yachiyo to help with a crowded lunch area. Ui is taking orders with Sana&#039;s invisible help making drinks.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral.

** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models. She does not know what to post and is shy about taking selfies. Iroha suggests posting photos of herself and takes pictures of Yachiyo on a float with the sunset. Yachiyo is embarrassed but agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Tsuruno want a turn on the float. Everyone climbs on, and Mitama takes a group photo just as they all fall into the water. Iroha loves the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the pool photos are popular online. Yachiyo&#039;s manager says going to the pool was a good move. Yachiyo thanks Iroha and says she might take her up on being her photographer again. She sends the group photo to everyone. Iroha says the photo may not be &amp;quot;social media-worthy&amp;quot; but it captures who they are. They agree to go back to the pool again—summer is just getting started.&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Hazuki&#039;s team confronts Nanaka. They were forced to defeat the Boss Witch because of the &amp;quot;duty&amp;quot; clause. Hazuki says Nanaka played them. Nanaka admits she knew they could do it. Hazuki says they have scores to settle. Hazuki also mentions the Witch was strange, like it was being manipulated.

* Kako is 13 years old. Her parents run Natsume Books, a used bookstore. Books are a huge part of her life. One day, she sees Nanaka loitering by the mailbox, looking distressed. Nanaka drops a letter in the mailbox and runs off. She tells Kako to read the letter. Kako remembers the words &amp;quot;Kill her&amp;quot; and wonders why.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako recalls her past. Her family was not wealthy, but they were happy. Her father recommended books, and her mother helped her study. Then tragedy struck. A riot over land grabs broke out. Harassment of those who objected got worse. Discord grew within the community and even within their home. Her father was wound tight. Then their house was set on fire. Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
** She met a girl named &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; N told Kako who was responsible and what she needed to do to destroy them. Kako clung to her. She later learned N was manipulative and saw others as pawns. Kako hates N and wants revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found herself in a Labyrinth. Nanaka fought off Familiars but was overwhelmed. Kyubey offered Kako the chance to become a Magical Girl. Nanaka told Kako through telepathy to decide for herself what she wanted. Kako realized she hated feeling helpless. She wished to see her family smiling again and to get Natsume Books back. She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kako learned Nanaka faked her struggle to entrap her into making the wish. Nanaka had pulled this trick on others to use them as pawns. Kako could not forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako and Nanaka fought Witches together. Nanaka encouraged Kako and told her she was better suited to being a Magical Girl than Nanaka was. Kako wanted to get stronger. Nanaka wrote a letter confessing her deception and asking Kako to kill her. Kako made up her mind to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka. She returned it unopened, saying it seemed wrong to read something Nanaka only sent by accident. Nanaka smiled and said Kako was dazzling. She said she would try to tell Kako her feelings in person someday.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako thinks Nanaka overestimates her, but she is no longer as scared and helpless as she used to be. She is a Magical Girl who protects the city by Nanaka&#039;s side.&lt;br /&gt;

* Kokoro Awane reflects on her life. Before, she hated herself so many times for making her wish, kicking herself for it. She thought that since it was her fault, she had to do something about it. But now, all she wants is to do the best she can as a family of three with all her heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro goes hiking with Masara. They sing a cookie song but disagree on the lyrics—Masara says it is &amp;quot;knead,&amp;quot; while Kokoro remembers &amp;quot;mix.&amp;quot; Kokoro mentions a rumor about parallel universes and false memories. At the summit, Kokoro reminisces about hiking with her parents when she was little. She reveals that after her mother left, her family fell apart. Her father struggled as a single parent. Kokoro wished to Kyubey for her mother to come home. Her mother returned, but her parents&#039; relationship did not improve. Kokoro felt she had to work harder to fix things.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Kokoro remembers meeting Masara. Masara bluntly told her that it was not her fault, and those words finally got through. Kokoro stopped trying to fix everything alone and started getting her whole family to work together.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present Day) After the hike, Kokoro hears a voice talking about the Rumor of Parallel Memories. She finds a CD of the cookie song in a bargain bin. The lyrics on the back say &amp;quot;mix,&amp;quot; not &amp;quot;knead.&amp;quot; She wonders if it is an item from a parallel universe. She feels dizzy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro finds herself in a parallel world. Her house is now a café. Her parents run it together and are happily married. They do not recognize her. Kokoro sees they are close and in love, just like when she was little. She hears about attractions and brands she has never heard of. Her mother sings the cookie song with &amp;quot;mix.&amp;quot; Kokoro realizes she was never born in this world. She feels painful but also jealous of their happiness.

** Kokoro wishes to go home. She feels dizzy again. She hears her parents calling her name. She wakes up to find she had collapsed. Her parents found her and called an ambulance. She is taken to the hospital. She wonders if the parallel world was real or just a dream.&lt;br /&gt;

===Himika Mao&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Lucky Break Lost &amp;amp; Found===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Himika goes shopping for bargains and wins a grand prize from a drawing: a 2-night stay at a luxury hotel with a pool on a tropical island, complete with meals. She is thrilled to take her whole family. She hides the ticket in a Baby Bunny pouch for safekeeping.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Himika&#039;s father worked day and night to support their family of eight. He collapsed from overwork. He survived but could not work like before. The family was running out of money. Her siblings fought and cried. Her father suggested they all live in different facilities. Himika made a wish to Kyubey to cure her father. She became a Magical Girl. Her father recovered, and her family returned to a normal, peaceful life.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present Day) Himika&#039;s friends Kako and Ayame visit. Himika cannot find the ticket.

She calls the shipping company, but the boxes have already been handed to a subcontractor.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama suggests having Himika&#039;s father call the subcontractor to track down the pouch. Himika&#039;s father does so. The company says they will search for it.&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Rena calls Himika. She saw the Baby Bunny pouch in a crane game at an arcade. Himika, Kako, Ayame, Rena, and Kaede go to the arcade. The pouch is in the replenishment case, meaning Himika must win all the Mocha Bunnies already out to reach it. Himika decides to use a strategy but is short on money.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika observes other players to learn techniques, calling it &amp;quot;crane training.&amp;quot; She strategizes to create an avalanche by knocking down piles of plushies. She successfully clears most of the machine. The staff restocks the machine, placing the pouch inside surrounded by four giant Mocha Bunnies.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika aims to move two bunnies out of the way to reach the pouch. She successfully clears the pandas and one bunny. She realizes there are two Baby Bunny pouches, not one. She cannot tell which is hers. She has only three tries left. She misses on two tries. On her final try, she aims for both pouches at once and succeeds. The crowd applauds.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Himika&#039;s family goes on the tropical vacation. She explains that when she asked Kyubey to cure her dad, what she really wanted was for her family to be back together. She later learns from a staff member that if she had explained the situation at first, they would have just given her the pouch back. All&#039;s well that ends well.&lt;br /&gt;

Rika said that as long as you have one shining thing in the world, you can keep going.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (present) Ren and Rika go shopping. Ren finds an earring someone dropped and returns it. The owner is grateful. Ren feels happy and buys a colored pencil. She thinks about adding color to her bear story. She decides to use the Cherry Pink pencil because Rika loves pink.

** Emiri shows Ren a kaleidoscope. Hinano invites her to make one. Akira helps her carry a package. Konomi gives her flowers. Kanoko shows her a mushroom-themed clothing design.

* Rika messages Ren, apologizing and saying she was planning a surprise birthday party. Ren does not reply. She hides in a dark room at school. Rika finds her and calls her instead of opening the door. Rika explains she wanted to surprise Ren. She gives Ren a set of 12 colored pencils with a carved lily of the valley on the case. Ren cries and thanks her. The bear cub looks up and sees the Spirit of Light smiling at her. Her world is once again filled with light.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren buys another colored pencil. She notices the name is &amp;quot;Blue Sky&amp;quot; instead of &amp;quot;Sky Blue.&amp;quot; She hears a voice talking about the Rumor of Parallel Memories. She feels dizzy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren dreams she is dead. She cannot see or touch her parents. They mourn her suicide. She never became a Magical Girl and never met Rika. She watches her friends go to the teddy bear exhibition without her. She is invisible. She feels awful and wants to go back to the land of the living. She remembers the colored pencil with the different name—that must be the proof of another world. She holds it and wishes to live. She wakes up. It was all a dream. Rika messages her to join everyone for snacks. Ren goes to meet them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren finishes her bear story. The gatekeeper asks the bear cub if she has any regrets. The bear cub says yes. She wishes to leave behind her journal, filled with entries about the Spirit of Light and all the sparkles she showed her. The gatekeeper opens the gates. The bear cub does not say goodbye because she knows she will see the Spirit of Light again someday in the World of Light. Ren realizes the bear cub is reborn, just like she was when she met Rika and her friends. She can live in a world full of color.&lt;br /&gt;

They became sisters bound by a bond stronger than blood. The director treated them like family.&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before becoming Magical Girls) Azalea House was to be torn down due to unknown powerful forces. The stress of it claimed the director&#039;s life. Kyubey appeared and offered contracts.

&lt;br /&gt;
* A teacher asks Hazuki to deliver worksheets to Nanaka. Hazuki is reluctant because Konoha distrusts Nanaka after an incident where Nanaka&#039;s team tricked them into fighting a powerful Witch.

* During a Witch hunt, they&#039;re attacked by a Witch and Masara takes a hit to protect Kokoro. She gets a scar. She starts avoiding Kokoro because she does not understand her feelings.

&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback, but the entirety seems like mostly a flashback) Kyubey offers Rika any wish in exchange for becoming a Magical Girl. Hinano warns her not to do it, but Rika ignores the advice. She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Miss K gets married and moves away. Riko misses her but does not regret her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Riko goes filming with Ashley. She tells Ashley about Miss K. She explains that Miss K&#039;s father never fully accepted the marriage, and they have not made up. Riko receives a message from Miss K saying she was in the hospital because she was pregnant. She invites Riko to visit her new house. Riko goes and meets the baby. Miss K asks Riko to be friends with her child. Riko becomes like a big sister to the baby. She feels happy that her wish came true but is sad Miss K and her father never reconciled.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko walks Mameji and sees Miss K&#039;s father standing outside the hardware store, looking sad. She wonders what is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley advises Riko to ask Miss K directly if she wants to make up with her father. Riko texts Miss K and asks to meet. Miss K replies that she will come to Riko&#039;s town instead. Riko is excited.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Miss K visits Riko. They talk about her father. Miss K says she wants to make up with him but does not know how. Riko suggests inviting him to meet the baby, giving him a present, or going on a family trip. Miss K doubts any of it will work. They walk to Riko&#039;s store together. They encounter Miss K&#039;s father outside. Riko admits she asked Miss K to come so they could patch things up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Miss K&#039;s father reveals he brought a herbarium to Riko&#039;s store. It was originally meant as a gift for his grandchild, but he could not bring himself to deliver it. Riko realizes Mameji had been guiding her this whole time. Earlier, Mameji had barked at the cake that turned out to be from Miss K&#039;s father. Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky. She realizes she is dying, having protected Yachiyo. She remembers how everyone was fighting for dear life. She wished she were stronger to help them. She is sorry for not being stronger. She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ashley Taylor&#039;s Heartphial Story: Can&#039;t Be Myself Without What I Love===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley Taylor reflects on her life. Studying in Japan is awesome fun. She wants to find more kawaii for her vlog viewers back home and asks her father to watch over her while she pursues her passions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley vlogs with Riko&#039;s help. She films herself shopping for Magical Kirin merch and gurokawa items. After editing and uploading the video, she replies to comments from her followers. She thinks about her father and hopes he is watching.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley remembers the day she wanted to study abroad in Japan. Her father refused without giving a clear reason, which was unusual. Kyubey appeared and offered to grant any wish. Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko notices Ashley seems down. She worries Ashley is overworking herself by vlogging daily and replying to comments late at night. Ashley says it does not feel like work because she loves it. She thanks Riko for being a kind friend. They go out to film another vlog.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley continues vlogging daily. She worries about skipping a day because her followers might unfollow her. She wakes up to find Kumanosuke missing. She panics, feeling like her world is ending. Riko arrives with a bento and finds Ashley crying. Ashley explains she lost Kumanosuke. Riko comforts her and says it is okay to skip a vlog. Ashley admits she has been using followers&#039; comments to fill the hole left by her father&#039;s death. Riko says she understands loss—she misses her sister who moved far away. They decide to search for Kumanosuke.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko suggests Ashley ask her followers for help finding Kumanosuke. During a live stream, a commenter suggests rewatching her previous vlog. Ashley realizes she left Kumanosuke on a chair when she got distracted by a crane machine. They find Kumanosuke on a shelf at the store, dressed in Waloli Gurokawa clothes. Ashley gets him back. She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

* At the hospital, a nurse tries to convince Touka to eat her carrots. Touka refuses unless her terms are met: she wants specific books brought to her. The books are Hachslingen&#039;s &amp;quot;General Theory of the Origin of the Universe,&amp;quot; Cosinberg&#039;s &amp;quot;Celestial Forces,&amp;quot; and Dadatri&#039;s &amp;quot;Glimmer of the Planet.&amp;quot; She claims no one will hand them over.

Iroha arrives and greets them all warmly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* At the hospital, a nurse tries to convince Touka to eat her carrots. Touka refuses unless her terms are met: she wants specific books brought to her. The books are Hachslingen&#039;s &amp;quot;General Theory of the Origin of the Universe,&amp;quot; Cosinberg&#039;s &amp;quot;Celestial Forces,&amp;quot; and Dadatri&#039;s &amp;quot;Glimmer of the Planet.&amp;quot; She claims no one will hand them over. The nurse eventually gives up on the carrots.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Future Relationships|Future Relationships ~Current Status with Onee-sama~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha arrives, having been called by Ui. Ui admits she asked Iroha to search for the books Touka wanted, having written out the titles for her. Iroha apologizes, explaining she could not find them no matter how she searched. Touka becomes flustered.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu deduces that Touka is acting like Princess Kaguya, requesting treasures she knows do not exist to avoid eating her carrots. Exposed, Touka reluctantly eats a carrot.

* Touka eagerly awaits Iroha&#039;s arrival to play Old Maid, noting Iroha has won first place seven times in a row but that her face always gives the game away. Nemu observes to Ui that Touka frequently says &amp;quot;Onee-sama&amp;quot; now, likely because Iroha is her first elder sister. Nemu quietly reflects that Iroha is her first Onee-san as well. Iroha arrives and greets them all warmly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call|Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wait, You Got It Wrong!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayu Kozue&#039;s most treasured possession is a bear pendant her father carved for her before he died. When a hand-drawn postcard is stolen from the museum where she works, security footage shows her friend Ria at the scene moments later. Mayu cannot reach Ria and suspects a Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~|Wait, You Got It Wrong! / Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While searching for Ria, Mayu encounters Asuka Tatsuki, whose family&#039;s invaluable book of secrets was also stolen. A witness described a blonde girl in a Mizuna uniform—Ria. They find Sayuki Fumino crying over her stolen sword book, then Rena Minami who was bumped by the same girl. At Walnut&#039;s restaurant, Manaka Kurumi accuses Ria of stealing a rice omelet. A Witch barrier appears, and after Mayu and Asuka defeat the Familiars, Ria arrives demanding to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka challenges Ria to a duel over the thefts, and Ria loses. She confesses to something embarrassing, and everyone assumes she means the thefts—but she meant a binder of idol clippings she desperately hopes no one saw. She was only chasing the Witch to recover her own stolen belongings. Relieved, Mayu and Asuka join her. They track and defeat the Witch, recovering most items, but the museum postcard, the dojo book, and Ria&#039;s binder remain missing. They agree to search again tomorrow. That night, Mayu dreams of her father, who tells her material things are destined to break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, thefts continue across the city. Mayu realizes the Witch they defeated was only a Familiar and the real Witch is still out there. She offers her precious pendant as bait to track it. Despite Ria&#039;s protests, Mayu uses it, and they follow the magic trail to the Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After a difficult battle, they recover all stolen items, though Mayu&#039;s pendant is scratched and its chain broken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu is unbothered. She explains that material possessions naturally break, but the memories they hold remain in her heart—a lesson from her father. Asuka and Ria are moved, and Mayu turns to walk home, promptly falls into a lake, and flounders while Ria sighs that she has not changed at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor she calls Miss K. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Miss K with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Miss K&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Miss K to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

===&amp;quot;Let&#039;s hit the Suitoku baths! (Music Collection 1 bonus drama)&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo, Iroha, and Sana prepare a meal. Felicia reluctantly helps. Tsuruno arrives with a flyer for Suitokuyu, a public bathhouse holding an event as part of a shopping district revitalization plan. She invites everyone to go together. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the bathhouse, they read the posted rules. Tsuruno pretends to be a &amp;quot;bathhouse master&amp;quot; and teaches them. Sana becomes embarrassed about being naked in front of everyone. Yachiyo understands her feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Villa. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;
~A Little Break For Us~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===This is The Warmest Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha is going about her day when Sana, Felicia, and Ui present her with a pinwheel and ask her to blow on it. Though confused by their strange behavior, Iroha does as they ask and the girls thank her before quickly scampering off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~#This Is The Warmest Day Login Special|This is The Warmest Day]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts. When Yachiyo asks Iroha&#039;s opinion, Iroha expresses her love for shortcake and suggests they bake one immediately, but Yachiyo insists she wait for the right moment, which will come sooner than she thinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Lavi is shopping when Nayuta finds her to share news about her math test score. They return home where Lavi prepares dinner, and Nayuta discovers Lavi earned perfect scores in every subject, highlighting the gap between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House|The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day while Lavi runs errands, Nayuta confides in Mikage about her fears that Lavi only respects her father and secretly resents serving her. Seeking answers, Nayuta visits Mitama, who suggests that kindness and broad-mindedness are the traits she needs to develop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Nayuta observes how hard Lavi works attending school, studying, handling housework, and fighting witches. Worried she might collapse, Nayuta offers Lavi time off for her upcoming sixteenth birthday and secretly plans a surprise party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later on Lavi&#039;s birthday, Nayuta and Mikage struggle through cleaning the house and preparing a celebration. Their efforts are interrupted when Lavi returns early for lunch, scolds them for the mess, but leaves again at Nayuta&#039;s insistence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Lavi returns that evening, the handmade kusudama falls onto the cake and catches fire. Lavi extinguishes it with water, and Nayuta is left mortified as her surprise party fails spectacularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Nayuta senses lingering coldness from Lavi and struggles to find the right way to apologize. Remembering her father&#039;s example, she decides to catch and cook a fish as an apology gift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day at a fishing center, Nayuta encounters girls from the Tokime clan who teach her how to gut fish. Despite being disturbed by the process, she perseveres and eventually catches the exact fish she wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning home late, Nayuta discovers a threatening letter addressed to Lavi and deduces it must be connected to the serious trouble from Lavi&#039;s hometown. She rushes to the market street with Mikage to protect her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the market street, Nayuta confronts the man speaking with Lavi, declaring herself as Satomi Tasuke&#039;s daughter to intimidate him. The man reveals he is simply a stalker with no connection to Lavi&#039;s past, and when he becomes agitated, Nayuta tackles him unconscious as a crowd applauds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Nayuta presents the cooked fish and apologizes. Lavi admits she was barely angry anymore and thanks Nayuta for protecting her, acknowledging she was just like her father in that moment. Nayuta produces a second kusudama and cake, and this time the celebration succeeds. As they pick confetti from the cake, Lavi quietly says she will continue to admire Nayuta until the final day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Art 02 01 0003 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune. The Rumor says that if you receive the book and find a drawing of yourself, the sketched event will happen and if you try to stop it, a creature named Ketch drags you into the book. Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Art 02 01 0010 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One summer morning, Mitama is at her shop and she has set up a small café corner called Hot☆Corner. The cat, Doyle, is especially attached to her lately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery|The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day|Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Rumored Temp Counselor===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

===Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away|Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

* The following day, Ryoko investigates and discovers Sakuya hid her own shoes and started the gossip to isolate herself. Sakuya confesses she killed her best friend in the war and must remain alone to avoid hurting anyone else. Ryoko declares she will save Sakuya by becoming her best friend, and they fight until exhausted. That night, Sakuya dreams of her deceased friend, who thanks her and tells her to move forward. She wakes to find Ryoko collapsed from hunger, and they talk for hours like ordinary friends. Though they agree they cannot meet again until the battles are over, they promise to become true friends then.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the following days, Sakuya returns to normal life by socializing with classmates, sleeping better, and regaining her spirits. Ryoko gains a new goal: to free Sakuya from the things that bind her, once and for all, when the time is right.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls in Kush, who transforms into a vampire and she wins the contest. Natsuki takes second place and Karin takes third place. A commemorative photo is taken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin completes her manga, &amp;quot;The Pumpkin King and the Ghost Servant.&amp;quot; She shows it to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede who praise it, giving it 100 points or more. Kaede appreciates the happy ending. Karin is moved by Kaede&#039;s approval. Manaka arrives with pumpkin pie for a taste test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the Sakae Halloween Festa, Karin arrives at the festival in her Pumpkin King costume. Alina is also present, already dressed as the ghost servant from Karin&#039;s manga. Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head of the executive committee thanks Karin for recommending Alina as the face of the event. Karin reflects on her hope that Alina will one day atone for her sins and reach a happy ending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mikage wonders if she might become famous but worries about sketchy people, and Mitama jokingly offers to beat them up. Mikage asks if they can make real chocolate together, but Mitama needs to go to her coordinator shop. Mikage promises to do things that make her sister smile instead, and Mitama suggests they make Valentine&#039;s chocolate together next year.

* At Promised Blood&#039;s base, Yuna notices her teammates have been acting strangely, as Sakuya reads romance columns, Juri studies constantly, and Urara stares at Hikaru without speaking. After the meeting, Yuna confides in Hikaru that she feels guilty for not noticing everyone&#039;s exhaustion and decides to solve each person&#039;s problems personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend. Though relieved it&#039;s not her own love life, Yuna insists on helping anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s place, the group brainstorms confession advice. The conversation shifts when Ao receives a text from her parents—she&#039;s been lying to them about her late nights as a magical girl, claiming she&#039;s in an e-sports tournament. To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the online tournament, chaos ensues as Juri attacks teammates, Hikaru sets the kitchen on fire, and Yuna fails at selling merchandise. Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears.

** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Sweet Beanie: /* Mitama&amp;#039;s Special Training - Homura */&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This article details the events and stories taking place in, during and between the chapters of Arc 1 of [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]]. The narrative is structured to show the convergence of two distinct flows of action:&lt;br /&gt;
# The first is the personal, undated journey of [[Iroha Tamaki]] within the anomalous Kamihama City, which is much longer than Homura Akemi&#039;s usual 32 day loop. Her story begins on its own internal timeline, where the sequence of events is more important than specific calendar dates.&lt;br /&gt;
# The second is the dated countdown to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival from the original series, which starts with Day 1, Tuesday the 16th and ends on Day 32, Friday the 16th. Only the latter half of Homura&#039;s timeline is able to be approximately dated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the arc progresses, these two timelines intersect, and due to this, the latter half of the story is much easier to date. It should be noted that the timeline of the Magia Record game is highly anomalous, and thus any attempts at dating it are an educated guess at best. Therefore, this chronology should be used primarily to understand the sequence of major events, rather than as a calendar. In lack of contradictory context clues, the release date, or order of release of the event were used for their placement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that many of the events of Magia Record were written with the focus being on having fun side stories involving the characters, and thus, a definitive placement in the timeline wasn&#039;t a priority for many of them. For example, there&#039;s inconsistencies such as references to the same characters entering Kamihama for the first time in different events, or even cases where an event&#039;s tone at the time it is supposedly taking place in would be nigh-illogical considering other circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, the definitive time frame for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival was only established in [[Scene 0]], itself written and released after the majority of Magia Record and entirely after Arc 1 was finished. Notably, the [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]], which takes place supposedly shortly after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, itself happens during February. For these reasons, it is impossible to definitively state the order of events, or to accurately measure them against that of the original series, as with the addition of these inaccuracies, it is possible that none of the time frames of the original universe are applicable here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, given all these inconsistencies, any specific dates or placements in the Magia Record timelines, especially Arc 1, should be taken with a grain of salt, unless they definitively continue into one another in a clear sequence (such as the Main Story and Another Story in isolation). The original series&#039; timeframes are used for organizational and cross-reference purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The timeline of this Universe continues with [[Timeline/Magia Record/Arc 2]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==First Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha Tamaki is going to Kamihama by train, she is caught in [[Boxwood|Boxwood&#039;s Barrier]]. [[Kuroe]] is also on the same train from Takarazaki to Kamihama, as she&#039;d heard the rumor that Magical Girls can be saved there, as well as had the same dream herself. The train is engulfed by the Labyrinth and Kuroe wants to help Iroha whom she&#039;s never met before. Kuroe leaps out of the train&#039;s window to help her, but she quickly falls out of the mobile Labyrinth straight into Kamihama City, chastising herself for being weak. Kuroe is greeted by [[Mifuyu Azusa]] who was trailing the signature of the Witch and Kuroe is quickly recruited into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Little Bird&#039;s Star]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha herself arrives in Kamihama City, compelled by recurring dreams of an unknown girl in a hospital room. Believing this girl to be a key to a buried memory, Iroha begins searching the city&#039;s Witch Labyrinths for clues. During her search, she rescues another Magical Girl later identified as Kaede Akino from aggressive Familiars. The girl warns Iroha about the unusual strength of Kamihama&#039;s Witches and, upon learning Iroha is searching for a small Kyubey, mentions having seen it in a specific Labyrinth. Kaede notes that the small Kyubey has been the only Kyubey around recently.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 1: Iroha: The Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha locates the Labyrinth and finds the small Kyubey who is incapable of speech, though Iroha can somehow understand it anyway, but is soon overwhelmed by a horde of Familiars. During the struggle, she has a vivid vision of the hospital room from her dreams. She is saved by Momoko Togame, who explains that the Witches in Kamihama are too powerful for most Magical Girls to handle alone. Momoko takes Iroha to meet Mitama Yakumo, the &amp;quot;Coordinator,&amp;quot; who can perform a &amp;quot;Soul Gem Alignment&amp;quot; to enhance a Magical Girl&#039;s power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the alignment, Iroha has another, clearer vision of the hospital room and the girl, feeling a strong sense of affection and nostalgia. After the procedure, Mitama reveals that she can see into the pasts of those whose Soul Gems she touches and asks Iroha what her wish was. Iroha is horrified to realize she cannot remember her own wish or the identity of the girl in her dreams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Driven by this revelation, Iroha rushes out to continue her search, but is intercepted by the powerful Magical Girl Yachiyo Nanami. Yachiyo, believing Iroha is not strong enough to survive in Kamihama, challenges her to a duel to force her to leave the city. Though Yachiyo wins, Momoko intervenes, and a compromise is reached: Yachiyo will allow Iroha to stay if she and Momoko can defeat a specific Witch, the Sandbox Witch, before Yachiyo can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The small Kyubey reappears and leads Iroha and Momoko directly to the Sandbox Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Although Yachiyo defeats the Witch first, she gives Iroha a final chance to prove herself by defeating the Witch alone, which Iroha successfully does. Yachiyo admits she thought Iroha would be fine from the start. However, Yachiyo then reveals her true objective: she believes the small Kyubey is a dangerous irregularity and moves to eliminate it. Yachiyo explains she was trying to draw the small Kyubey out, as all the other Kyubeys in Kamihama have disappeared. Iroha throws herself in the way to protect it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the confrontation, as Iroha protects the small Kyubey, by touching it a flood of memories is unlocked. She remembers her little sister, Ui Tamaki, who was chronically ill and hospitalized. Iroha recalls her wish to Kyubey: &amp;quot;Please cure Ui! Make my precious little sister healthy!&amp;quot; She also realizes with horror that she had completely forgotten Ui&#039;s existence, living her life as if she never had a sister, with no memory of her until that moment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha awakens back at Mitama&#039;s office, having been carried there by Momoko after fainting. She explains her recovered memory to Momoko and Mitama. Despite their warnings that the memory could be false, Iroha declares that she must continue her investigation in Kamihama. Now her goal is not just to understand her dreams, but to find the cause of Ui&#039;s disappearance and uncover the truth behind her own forgotten wish. Momoko resolves to help Iroha, and Mitama agrees to help as well for a price. Mitama then asks Iroha to give the small Kyubey a name. Iroha asks Lil&#039; Kyubey if he will help her find Ui, and he agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Second Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, now at her home in Takarazaki City, understands the reason for the empty space in her room: it once belonged to her sister, Ui. She recalls memories of Ui and her two friends from the hospital, Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, even remembering specific details like how Nemu loved writing and published stories online, or how Touka was very smart. Iroha resolves to visit the hospital to find them, hopeful they will remember Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: The Rule of Ending Friendships]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0001 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* While Mitama is running her shop, she reads a detective novel called “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” A white tabby kitten from next door starts visiting her during this time and she names him Doyle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 1: The Many-Worlds Interpretation Poesy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko comes for an adjustment and sits in the back to keep Mitama company. After a client leaves, Mitama feels strange and asks Momoko about the previous day after sunset. Momoko says they stayed in the shop watching over Iroha, but Mitama saw a memory during the adjustment: in that memory, she and Momoko patrolled an alley together and Mitama realizes the memory does not match reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha goes to the hospital with Lil&#039; Kyubey&#039;s help to use her cellphone but is unable to locate Touka and Nemu, as she does not have a visitor pass and is not family. She reflects on their personalities and their frequent arguments, which Ui often mediated. As Iroha recalls one of their fights where they declared they were &amp;quot;not friends anymore,&amp;quot; she is approached by Yachiyo. She warns Iroha about a dangerous Rumor in Kamihama called the &amp;quot;Rule of Ending Friendships.&amp;quot; She explains that if two friends fight and one later apologizes to make up, a monster will kidnap the one who apologized. Yachiyo states this is one of several Rumors in Kamihama that have become reality, leading to people disappearing and tells Iroha to be careful. Iroha later discusses this rumor with Mitama, who explains that Momoko is not likely to believe anything from Yachiyo, as they stopped getting along after Yachiyo became a model.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after this conversation, Iroha witnesses an argument between Momoko Togame&#039;s teammates, Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. Momoko asks Iroha to catch Rena, but Rena fights her off and even transforms into Iroha to surprise her. Momoko formally introduces Kaede and explains the fight is over sweets. She figures Rena will apologize later. The argument escalates, and both girls declare they are &amp;quot;not friends anymore&amp;quot; before Rena storms off. Momoko dismisses Iroha&#039;s concern about the Rumor, asserting that rumors are not true. Iroha notes that Momoko seems dismissive of the information specifically because it came from Yachiyo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami enters Kamihama City and saves Rena from a Stacey Witch. Rena reveals that Kamihama has the opposite problem to other cities: an overabundance of powerful Witches. Mami realizes Kamihama is an anomaly. While investigating, she encounters a powerful Familiar and a strange, non-Witch Barrier, solidifying her decision to investigate the city&#039;s mysteries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: Odd One Out]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Undated Period==&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama performs adjustments on more Magical Girls and sees more memories that should not exist. She pieces them together and finds a Kamihama slightly different from her own which she dubs the “Alternate Kamihama.” Over the next two days, several Magical Girls with memories of the other world come for adjustments and Mitama does not reveal whose memories she saw out of respect to her clients&#039; privacy, but she shares information with Momoko without naming names.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that in the Alternate Kamihama, Momoko and Mitama are a team of two, Yachiyo acts like Momoko’s big sister, Kaede is on Nanaka’s team and that Kako is missing. There is also a serious rivalry between Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team in the Sankyo Ward, as both teams had lost their youngest members, Kako and Ayame. Yachiyo is also in charge there but struggles to keep the order. Kako and Ayame are friends in this world, but Mitama has not seen either of them in the other world. Mitama almost reveals private information about Karin and an older student but stops herself. A small detail is that Mitama asks Momoko about an exclusive wallpaper of the Mocha Bunny, and Momoko sends her a link. Mitama notices the crucial detail that in the Alternate Kamihama, Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red, but in their world, it is blue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, a wounded Magical Girl is brought to Mitama’s shop and Mitama heals her with adjustments. This girl has more memories of the Alternate Kamihama than any previous client and the situation there is dire. Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team both blame each other for crossing a line first and the conflict spreads from Sankyo Ward to other wards. Three friends from the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira, Seika and Mito, had their Soul Gems taken and were locked in separate rooms and a voice from inside their Soul Gems asked for the words in their hearts. The three answered “Four-leaf clover” and got their gems back, but one girl fainted from fatigue. Mitama suspects someone mistook them for a threat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks about Iroha and Kyubey, worrying about Iroha in the other world. Mitama says no one has seen Iroha there and that the small Kyubey is also missing, but the normal Kyubey still exists in the Alternate Kamihama. Momoko has not seen Kyubey in their own world for months. Mitama refuses to share more due to confidentiality and calls herself an unreliable narrator, so Momoko agrees to stay as her investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about how the memories were gathered, and that a few days ago, a group of friends from Kamihama ended up in the Alternate Kamihama. They were together one second and scattered the next, and though they searched for each other and talked to many Magical Girls along the way, they noticed something was wrong. One of them said they cannot tell anyone how they got there and Mitama almost forgot to mention that Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red in the other world, yet Momoko is not impressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Doyle meows at Mitama and she thinks he wants her to apologize to Momoko and she also thinks about the one secret she cannot tell anyone: the Alternate Kamihama is a world without Witches. Then she finds a phone that a client left behind and she accidentally turns it on, seeing that the wallpaper shows Mocha Bunny with a red bow tie, making Mitama wonder if the phone came from the other world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama keeps the phone, as she cannot return it yet because schedules do not match. She learns about Rumors, or Uwasa in Kamihama: mysterious beings that make rumors come true. Momoko tells her about the Rumor of the Rule of Ending Friendships, which nearly trapped Kaede and Rena forever. Mitama reveals that in the Alternate Kamihama, Kaede and Rena are very close and never argue, but that Rena works alone there. Momoko is no longer surprised by anything Mitama says.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko advises Mitama to record all details about the Alternate Kamihama while they are fresh and Mitama starts writing “The Case Files of the Coordinator.” She notes the color of Mocha Bunny’s bow tie, team relationships, and the disappearances of Kako and Ayame. While writing, Nanaka walks in to return a borrowed book and overhears Mitama say that Kako disappeared, prompting Mitama to explain everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka asks many questions, joking about Mitama’s inability to keep secrets. Then she asks seriously why the Sankyo Ward is the source of conflict in the other world and she suspects there is more to the situation. She asks Mitama to tell her about the incident that sparked the conflict and after hearing her out, Nanaka says she will keep the information to herself for now. She advises Mitama to talk directly to the owner of the phone from the other world and that the girls who ended up there know how they got there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama meets the girl who left the phone and she does not hesitate to tell the truth because Mitama would see it in her memories anyway. The girl explains the Rumor of Parallel Memories. The rumor says that if you get an item of proof from a parallel world and pray to the central tower, you can travel to and from a parallel Kamihama. The world they visited was a dream projected by the Rumor and it shows a world that “could be.” The girl and her friends all had the same dream at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama tells Momoko the Alternate Kamihama was just a dream and Momoko is relieved. Mitama explains the Mandela effect phenomenon: many people misremember the same fact, leading to a theory that those are memories from a parallel world. The Rumor of Parallel Memories lets you enter a dream of such a world and a lot of girls fell victim to it, including Ren, Kokoro, and Karin, who also got a strange sketchbook and ended up in the world of her own manga, which was traumatic. The dream world is dangerous because one&#039;s are asleep the entire time, but to leave, they can simply wish to go back. The issue is that if someone does not know that, they could waste away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks what kind of world the girls went to and Mitama admits it was a world without Witches. Momoko is upset Mitama kept that secret and asks if all worlds without Witches are that violent, but Mitama says no, clarifying that the fighting in the Alternate Kamihama had nothing to do with Witches. Their own world has Witches and people still fight and that the Alternate Kamihama is just one possibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitama tells Nanaka the Rumor explanation, but Nanaka still wonders why there was so much fighting, and that not all worlds without Witches would be that hostile. She thinks someone is behind the conflict and she names Hanna Sarasa, who is dead in this world. Nanaka says the targets in the Alternate Kamihama were all connected to Hanna, and that the method matches Hanna’s style: using suggestion to bend wills, laying traps, spreading rumors, making people doubt everyone. The trap for the Daito Apartment Complex girls feels like someone who enjoys watching others suffer. While Mitama is convinced, she notes the Alternate Kamihama is not real and Nanaka also agrees it is a nightmare that never became reality because Hanna died. Then Nanaka mentions a recent incident: a certain book nearly destroyed her friendship with Kako. It felt deliberate, but thankfully Hanna is dead, though Mitama becomes unsettled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0002 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama asks herself why she is still looking into the case, recalling two girls with bad experiences. Felicia saw a nightmare in the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth and was despondent for days, but she does not remember anything. Reira also tapped a weird link in a Magical Girls’ group chat and she started having nightmares that made things awkward between her and her best friend Seika. Mitama notes that nightmares testing friendships cannot be a coincidence and that the girls who ended up in the Alternate Kamihama also got into trouble because of a phone. Mitama connects the dots and creates a vague profile: a mean-spirited person who likes to show nightmares and test hearts, using a phone, located in Endless Mirrors, the large Labyrinth inside the Mirror Witch’s Mansion and where all the magic of Kamihama gathers. Mitama decides to take a look and asks Reira about the group chat. The account that posted the link has been deleted, but the culprit might still watch with another account. Mitama posts a message asking if anyone has had bad experiences related to Endless Mirrors, hoping the culprit will see it. She then receives a video chat invitation from a caller ID: H. S.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna Sarasa appears on the video call and says she is not the Hanna Sarasa that Mitama knows. She is the Hanna from a parallel world and that she is glad Mitama finally figured things out. She has been playing hide-and-seek and running out of time. She is in Endless Mirrors and tells Mitama to come alone, claiming she can tell Mitama about the serious consequences of her wish, which Mitama kept secret. She wonders if her wish brought Hanna to this world and she closes her shop early to go to Endless Mirrors. Momoko notices something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside Endless Mirrors, Hanna watches Mitama through copies, using the power of suggestion to control people. Mitama asks if the Alternate Kamihama is where Hanna is from and she confirms. She claims the world Mitama assumed was just a dream actually exists and that the dream shown by the Rumor happens to be exactly like Hanna’s world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna explains there is a narrow tunnel connecting the two worlds and that the exit in Mitama’s world is inside Endless Mirrors. A Magical Girl with the power to connect spaces, possibly the alternate version of Shizuku, was forced by Hanna to use all her power to open the hole. Hanna wanted to find Mikoto Sena, who had disappeared in her world. The tunnel is too small for a person, only big enough for a phone, but Hanna used the copies and Familiars in Endless Mirrors to do her work. She had tossed a phone through the hole and waited for someone to pick it up, and the Rumor of Parallel Memories did the rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna admits she is not actually in Endless Mirrors, but in an abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama. The background image was fake and the tunnel will close in a few days. The Endless Mirrors Familiars built a magical projector that can exchange things of equal value between the two worlds, an if Mitama turns the handle, they will trade places: Mitama goes to the Alternate Kamihama, and Hanna comes to Mitama’s world. Hanna has been using her power of suggestion on Mitama and she makes her turn the handle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in the dark abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama and Hanna arrives in Mitama’s world. Hanna explains her full plan: she wanted to find Mikoto and she tested her methods on Nanaka and Kako, then on the Daito girls and Felicia. She left subtle hints to lure Mitama to Endless Mirrors and Mitama’s curiosity and guilt made her the perfect bait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, who had followed Mitama, telepathically messages her and Momoko catches Hanna off-guard. She turns the handle of the projector in reverse and Mitama returns to her own world while Hanna goes back to the Alternate Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The tunnel closes a few days later and Momoko does not remember much of the incident. Mitama does not either; her last memory is reaching for the handle and Momoko explains what happened. The projector is destroyed, and Hanna cannot return. Mitama warns everyone to stay away from Endless Mirrors for a few days and nothing else happens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects on how she almost became the kitten killed by curiosity. But it was guilt that trapped her instead. She decides will continue to act as a neutral Coordinator, hiding secrets behind confidentiality and she plays with Doyle using a new foxtail cat toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after the initial argument, Momoko notes that Rena Minami has not apologized to Kaede, which is unusual behavior. Kaede spends her time alone, and Momoko expresses worry for her. During this time, Iroha encounters a witch and rescues Kaede. Kaede admits she was running away from Momoko to avoid being forced to see Rena, and that she wants to apologize but doesn&#039;t think she can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several more days later, Momoko decides to intervene in the dispute. Iroha offers to help, and Momoko accepts, promising to aid Iroha in her search for Ui in return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko devises a plan to lure Rena and Kaede to the same location. The plan involves waiting for Rena at her student committee meeting. Iroha waits for a long time, but Momoko calls to say the meeting was cancelled and Rena went home early. Momoko tells Iroha to find Rena at the game center. Iroha finds Rena at the arcade playing a game and attempts to lure her to an abandoned construction site with a false story about a live show from Sayuki Fumino, Rena&#039;s favorite idol. Rena sees through the ruse. Kaede arrives and confronts Rena directly, demanding an apology. When Rena refuses, Kaede attempts to apologize herself. Rena reacts with panic and tries to stop her, revealing her belief in the Rule of Ending Friendships Rumor and her fear that an apology would cause Kaede to be taken. Rena denies this and runs off. Iroha and Kaede chase her and run into Momoko, but Kaede realizes it&#039;s a transformed Rena. Rena returns to her normal appearance and admits she believes in the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Kaede completes her apology, a strange Labyrinth, distinct from a Witch&#039;s Barrier, manifests. Monstrous Familiars appear, seize Kaede, and drag her away, confirming the Rumor&#039;s power. Rena runs off, determined to find a solution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Iroha regroup and Momoko expresses more concern over Rena Minami&#039;s departure than Kaede Akino&#039;s capture, but trusts that Rena had a reason.  Iroha suggests asking Mitama for help. Momoko reveals that Mitama accepts payment in Grief Seeds, and she&#039;s running low. Lil&#039; Kyubey then finds Rena, who was looking for Momoko. They follow the residual magic trail and find Rena, who reveals she sought information from Yachiyo on how to counter the Rumor. The group returns to the abandoned construction site, where Rena shouts an apology to Kaede to lure out the entity. The Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth manifests, and a brainwashed Kaede appears, followed by monstrous Familiars. The Uwasa captures Rena too and Yachiyo arrives, confirms the Rumor&#039;s power, and joins the fight. Yachiyo subdues the possessed Kaede, and Momoko and Iroha proceed deeper into the Labyrinth and find the Uwasa, &amp;quot;Ms. Staircase,&amp;quot; which has also possessed Rena. Momoko and Iroha try attacking the witch, but it has no effect. Yachiyo then arrives, having knocked Kaede out. Yachiyo admits she doesn&#039;t know how to defeat the witch either. Kaede returns and teams up with a now brainwashed Rena. Yachiyo knocks them out and notes the witch may have increased their powers, at the cost of darkening their Soul Gems. Yachiyo catches up and defeats both possessed girls to neutralize the threat without serious injury. Iroha proposes a coordinated attack to counteract the Uwasa&#039;s nature, so Iroha, Momoko, and Yachiyo combine their attacks and destroy the Uwasa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Yachiyo provides a Grief Seed to revive the exhausted Kaede and Iroha also uses her healing powers to help awaken her. Yachiyo identifies the entity as an &amp;quot;Uwasa,&amp;quot; a being distinct from Witches and Familiars that exists to protect a Rumor. Afterward, the girls find Rena and Kaede. Kaede awakens and reconciles with Rena. The four girls then all share pudding together, affirming their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, to fulfill her promise, Momoko has Rena use her transformation magic to investigate the hospital records. Rena confirms that Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi were real patients discharged around the same time as Ui. However, Rena finds no record of Ui Tamaki&#039;s existence at the hospital. Despite this setback, Iroha resolves to continue her search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Iroha visits Mitama for a Soul Gem alignment. During the procedure, Mitama&#039;s hunger causes Iroha to see visions of food. Momoko arrives and notes Mitama&#039;s treatments are ineffective when she is hungry. The three go to Mitama&#039;s kitchen, where her dangerous cooking prompts Iroha to recall memories of cooking for her sister, Ui. Iroha remembers a specific incident where she burned hamburg steak for Ui in the hospital, but her mother brought a replacement, and Ui enjoyed the meal regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha enters the Mirror Mansion and finds Mitama already there. Mitama warns her to be careful and explains the mansion is the lair of the Mirror Witch. A familiar throws Iroha into a barrier where she fights a copy of herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side|Mirrors Story Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After defeating the duplicate, Iroha returns to the entrance. Mitama explains the barrier is populated by replicas and the Mirror Witch lies at the end. Iroha decides to prepare herself to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 2: Journey to the End|Mirrors Story Layer 2: Journey to the End]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the false Kaede is defeated, Kaede explains she entered with Momoko and Rena but got separated. Yachiyo explains the barrier constantly changes. The group returns to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 4: Lost in the Layers|Mirrors Story Layer 4: Lost in the Layers]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They find Ria Ami, who claims to be Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo barely remembers her. Ria says she cannot forgive the fakes for duplicating her beauty. Ria ignores Yachiyo&#039;s warning about a mirror and Yachiyo suddenly disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...|Mirrors Story Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Yachiyo finds Momoko, who attacks her, believing Yachiyo is a fake. The real Yachiyo realizes Momoko encountered a replica. They destroy the false Yachiyo together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 8: A Terrible Rendition|Mirrors Story Layer 8: A Terrible Rendition]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After leaving the barrier, the group departs. Iroha hangs back with Mitama and says she felt something off in the barrier. Mitama encourages her to go deeper but warns her not to lose herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors11&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss|Mirrors Story Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after the defeat of the Uwasa of Ending Friendships, Iroha has found no new clues about Ui, Touka Satomi, or Nemu Hiiragi. Kaede tells Iroha and Rena a rumor that the children kidnapped by the previous Uwasa returned after its defeat. This gives Iroha the idea that if she defeats other Rumors, people trapped by them, including Ui, might be freed. She recalls a conversation where Ui spoke about imagination becoming reality, which strengthens her resolve. Iroha decides to actively investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors and she meets Mitama, who suggests Iroha look into a rumor about a shrine in Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: Kamihama Rumor Files]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, in Mizuna Ward, Iroha has no success finding information about the shrine rumor. She meets Tsuruno Yui, a Magical Girl who calls herself the &amp;quot;Mightiest.&amp;quot; Tsuruno tells Iroha about the &amp;quot;Séance Shrine&amp;quot; rumor, which claims it can reunite people with those they yearn to see. Iroha decides this is a promising lead to find Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsuruno tasks Iroha with investigating a local legend about a tragic couple, which may connect to the Séance Shrine rumor. Tsuruno explains the folk tale in detail: a woman whose lover was killed found a paper with his handwriting, went to the place written on it, and was able to meet his ghost. She suggests Iroha investigate the path while she investigates shrines. Iroha completes a stamp rally related to the legend. She discovers the path is part of a town renewal project meant for couples and finds she only has half the map, requiring a partner with a &amp;quot;Sheet B.&amp;quot; Yachiyo appears, coincidentally in possession of Sheet B. They combine their sheets, which reveals a map that leads them to Mizuna Shrine. Before they leave, Yachiyo points out Iroha dropped her notebook, which Iroha hurriedly claims is her homework. At the final stamp rally location, a woman makes them confess their feelings for each other to get a matchmaking charm. Afterward, Yachiyo notices Iroha is writing in a &amp;quot;Kamihama Mystery Notes&amp;quot; notebook, and Iroha admits she&#039;s copying Yachiyo. Yachiyo determines this is not the Séance Shrine, and they part ways. Iroha agrees to help Tsuruno investigate further the next day. Later, Iroha spots a shrine on a rooftop from a train.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami discusses Kamihama City&#039;s anomalies with Kyubey, who agrees to share information. She then meets Kyoko and informs her about the high concentration of Witches in Kamihama. Kyoko is eager to hunt there but promises to leave if it becomes too dangerous. Mami remains concerned about the Witch shortage elsewhere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha investigates the rooftop shrine location. She senses strong magic, enters a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, and is overwhelmed by powerful Familiars. Yachiyo arrives and assists her and together, they defeat the Witch. After the battle, a store sale gives Yachiyo a new idea after she uncharacteristically begged Iroha for help getting to the sale. She deduces the Séance Shrine is Mizuna Shrine, but it must be visited at night just like in the folk tale. Yachiyo invites Iroha to investigate the shrine that night, and Iroha requests to bring Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno sneak into Mizuna Shrine after hours. Tsuruno reveals that she and Yachiyo are former teammates and Yachiyo explains the Rumor of the Séance Shrine: those who write a name on a wooden plaque and pray at the shrine will be reunited with that person, but risk being trapped in bliss. They perform the ritual. Iroha prays to be reunited with Ui. Tsuruno provokes the Uwasa, which manifests and attacks. Yachiyo urges Iroha to complete the ritual as the Uwasa&#039;s minions approach and Iroha does so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha finds herself alone in a twilight version of the shrine. A false version of Ui appears but only repeats a cryptic message: &amp;quot;To change your fate, come to Kamihama City... Here, Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;quot; The illusion then shatters and Iroha locates Yachiyo, who is confronted by a manifestation of her missing friend, Mifuyu Azusa. Yachiyo determines this Mifuyu is an imposter created by the Uwasa and the two defeat her. Afterward, Iroha uses her Grief Seed to purify Yachiyo&#039;s Soul Gem, and they realize they are both searching for someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami encounters Kaede, who is hesitating to enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Mami invites Kaede to join her, and they defeat the Witch together. Afterwards, Kaede tells Mami about her recent experience with a &amp;quot;Rumor,&amp;quot; an entity with a magical signature unlike a Witch or Magical Girl. Mami dismisses the story as a coincidence but is intrigued by the unknown energy. To avoid involving Kaede in further conflict, Mami decides to investigate the Rumor alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: It Looks Just Like Us]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno joins with the two of them and the Uwasa of the Séance Shrine manifests to attack them directly. The trio&#039;s attacks prove ineffective and Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem becomes critically corrupted during the fight. As she nears her limit, an unknown power erupts from within her. This power, her Doppel, which consumes the impurities in her Soul Gem, destroys the Uwasa and leaves her Soul Gem completely purified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the battle, Mami enters the Rumor&#039;s Barrier and witnesses Iroha unleash her Doppel. Mistaking it for a human-disguised Witch, Mami attacks Iroha, who tries and fails to summon her Doppel again to defend herself. The confrontation is interrupted by Momoko Togame, forcing Mami to retreat, but she vows to pursue Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Homura arrive in Kamihama City and they sense a Witch and enter its Barrier, finding a Magical Girl fighting it. The Witch escapes and the Barrier vanishes. Madoka asks if the girl is alright, but she leaves and Madoka runs off after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname in Magia Record#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magical Girl feels exhausted from overusing magic. Madoka finds her and guides her to a bench. Madoka offers to buy her a drink. Homura appears and offers to get it. The girl thanks Madoka and introduces herself as Shizuku Hozumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka helped. Madoka says it was because Shizuku looked like she was in pain. Shizuku calls Madoka kind. Madoka says it is bad to be alone. Shizuku says being alone is fine and she will find where she belongs. Madoka suggests Shizuku could create her own place to belong. Homura returns with drinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka became a Magical Girl. Madoka explains she has no particular talent and wanted to be useful to someone. Shizuku realizes Madoka made a place for herself by becoming a Magical Girl. She thanks Madoka for giving her hope and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka makes an offering at a shrine, praying for everyone&#039;s happiness. It rains and stops, leaving Madoka wet. A girl offers her a handkerchief and explains they missed the bus. Madoka notices the girl has a book she loves. The girl admits it is her favorite. Madoka introduces herself and the girl says her name is Kako Natsume. They talk about the book until the bus arrives and part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka goes to a bookstore and buys the sequel. Kako is also there. Kako asks if Madoka is a Magical Girl, having noticed her Soul Gem ring, and reveals she is one as well. Kako invites Madoka on a night-time adventure at her school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami finds Kyoko and, relieved she has not yet gone to Kamihama, recounts the event and describes Iroha as a &amp;quot;humanoid Witch.&amp;quot; She pleads with Kyoko to avoid the city and offers to provide her with Grief Seeds, to which Kyoko reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Later, after Yachiyo uses Iroha&#039;s phone to explain the situation to Iroha&#039;s mother and get permission for her to stay out, Yachiyo takes Iroha to her home, Mikazuki Villa, as her assistant. Yachiyo formally invites Iroha to be her assistant and use the villa as a base to investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors together. Iroha accepts. Tsuruno arrives and declares herself part of the team as well, and then reveals that a girl named Nemu Hiiragi is a regular customer at her family&#039;s restaurant, providing Iroha with a significant new lead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after the defeat of the Séance Shrine Uwasa, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno attempt to find Nemu Hiiragi at her family&#039;s restaurant in Sankyo Ward, but learn she only visits once a month. Yachiyo suggests using a phone book to find Nemu&#039;s home address, but their search yields no results. Iroha reveals her family will move overseas and she will soon relocate to Kamihama and while searching, Iroha drinks water from a &amp;quot;Water Station with the Owl Sign.&amp;quot; After drinking, she begins to find pieces of paper with decreasing numbers. Yachiyo identifies this as a potential new Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 4: The City She Told Me About]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko travels to Kamihama&#039;s Sankyo Ward against Mami&#039;s advice and upon entering the city, she finds it overrun with aggressive Witches and Familiars. After the battles, she notices a crowd around a man giving out free water, and, after drinking it, begins to find papers with a countdown from 24.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the countdown has reached 10. Kyoko returns to Kamihama to investigate and meets Yachiyo Nanami, who explains the phenomenon is a Rumor. Kyoko refuses Yachiyo&#039;s offer to help, resolving to confront the threat alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After learning Nemu&#039;s family were regulars, Iroha searches eats at Banbanzai daily. Yachiyo suggests she use a phonebook, but her visits to three different houses are unsuccessful. Iroha and another girl receive water from an old man at a shop with an owl sign. Later, Iroha returns to the Water Station but finds it has vanished. She meets the girl she saw earlier, Felicia Mitsuki, another Magical Girl and receives the numbered papers. Iroha convinces Felicia to help investigate the Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 4: Guardians of the Uwasa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During this time, Iroha tells Yachiyo over the phone that she would be moving because her father was going abroad for work, and her mother was accompanying him. She plans to stay at a dormitory attached to her new school, which is also where Tsuruno went, but there were no rooms available. While discussing this, the numbered papers begin falling on Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Kyoko encounters Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. They lead her to Tsuruno Yui&#039;s restaurant, where Kyoko learns the others are also investigating the Rumor. The three Magical Girls fight a Witch together, and after the battle, Rena and Kaede identify Kyoko&#039;s affliction as the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water&amp;quot; and offer to help. Kyoko, reminded of her past with Mami, rejects their offer and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Separately, Yachiyo encounters Kyoko Sakura, who is also affected by the Rumor. Yachiyo proposes they investigate together, but Kyoko refuses, stating that Uwasa are not Witches and do not provide Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later the same day, Iroha and Felicia investigate the Rumor, where Felicia&#039;s reckless fighting style nearly injures Iroha against a Witch. Felicia explains she became a Magical Girl for revenge against the Witch that killed her parents. The Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and reveals the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water,&amp;quot; which states a disaster will befall those who drank the water after 24 hours. The countdown shows they have less than five hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Members of a group called the Wings of the Magius appear and attempt to stop them from pursuing the Uwasa. They state their goal is to &amp;quot;liberate&amp;quot; all Magical Girls and that the Rumors are essential to this plan. Felicia pretends to betray the group to infiltrate the Wings, a plan that Yachiyo had actually hired her for. However, she later genuinely defects after they offer her a substantial reward. Iroha confronts Felicia, who claims nothing could make her life worse. Iroha learns about Felicia&#039;s treasured stuffed animal, a cow her parents gave her. Iroha convinces Felicia that losing it would be a personal disaster. Felicia rejoins the group and reveals the Wings&#039; base is under a school in Sankyo Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout this ordeal, Kyoko has followed Iroha&#039;s group and when they&#039;re confronted the Black Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, she assists them in their fight. The countdown reaches one hour.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With less than one hour remaining, the team is confronted by the White Feathers, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who use sound-based magic. Tsuruno devises a plan to counter their attacks by creating a loud noise to disrupt the sound waves. The team defeats the Amane sisters, but then they unleash powerful entities from their bodies, that they call &amp;quot;Doppels,&amp;quot; which they describe as a projection of their emotions and the key to liberating Magical Girls. The team withstands the Doppel&#039;s attack, and with 30 minutes remaining, Yachiyo and Tsuruno stay behind to hold off the remaining White Feathers. Iroha, Felicia, and Kyoko proceed into the Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth, and with 10 minutes remaining, they locate the Uwasa of the Misery Water, a large cup-like creature protected by falling boulders. Iroha&#039;s long-range attack proves ineffective, and Felicia devises a plan to use the falling boulders as platforms to reach the Uwasa. With one minute remaining, Felicia executes her plan and launches her attack on the Uwasa and successfully defeats it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Tsuruno subdue the Amane sisters, but then Mifuyu, Yachiyo&#039;s missing friend, appears and reveals she is a high-ranking member of the Wings of the Magius. She refuses to return with Yachiyo, stating her faith in the Magius&#039; goal of liberation. Iroha asks Mifuyu if she knows Ui Tamaki, and she suggests Ui could be a member of the Wings of the Magius but claims to have no specific knowledge. With this, Mifuyu and the Amane sisters retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo resolves to continue eliminating Rumors to confront the Wings of the Magius and save Mifuyu. Iroha agrees to continue as her assistant, believing the Wings are connected to Ui&#039;s disappearance. Tsuruno also pledges her help and Kyoko departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group walks home and Iroha invites Felicia to stop working as a mercenary and team up as friends. Yachiyo offers Felicia room and board at Mikazuki Villa in exchange for her services, and Tsuruno offers Felicia a job at her family&#039;s restaurant, which includes meals. Yachiyo then invites Iroha to live at Mikazuki Villa as well, to make their investigations easier. Iroha&#039;s parents approve the arrangement.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Kyoko meets Mami and explains that the &amp;quot;humanoid Witch&amp;quot; was a Doppel. Mami confronts Kyoko for disobeying her and expresses a desire to protect her as a former friend. Kyoko rejects this, stating she has changed and believes their paths are destined to remain separate. She reaffirms her resolve to live only for herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Iroha moves into Mikazuki Villa and she and Yachiyo reaffirm their commitment to find Ui and Mifuyu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after Madoka&#039;s first visit, Kako and Madoka meet at the school to go to the roof and a cat startles them. Kako suggests transforming and using their powers to reach the roof. Once there, Kako tells Madoka to look at the starry sky, explaining that on this day you can see the most beautiful stars. Kako admits she is shy but can talk properly with Madoka, and this star viewing is her thanks. Madoka says Kako&#039;s honest feelings reached her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Mami fight a Witch. A normal person is kidnapped and brought into the Barrier. Mami tells Madoka to rescue the person while she handles the Witch. A Magical Girl appears, impressed Madoka is helping people. She introduces herself as Sasara Minagi, the knight who protects the city. She asks Madoka to let her save the victim so Madoka can help Mami. Madoka agrees and returns to Mami. Together they defeat the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier vanishes and they meet Sasara outside. Sasara says she took the victim to the hospital. Sasara compliments their strength and offers to help if they are in trouble, explaining that rescuing people is her specialty and protecting everyone is her creed. Madoka says she is cool. Sasara says she is happy to meet Magical Girls like them, explaining that Kamihama has more Witches, drawing Magical Girls who only care about fighting, not saving people. Sasara became a knight because she cannot accept people being sacrificed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami agrees. Sasara says she rarely met others who think this way. Madoka says she became a Magical Girl to help people and is like Sasara. Sasara calls Madoka incredible. Mami says Madoka might become the strongest Magical Girl someday, but has a long way to go. Sasara says both are worthy of the title &amp;quot;knight.&amp;quot; When Mami points out they use projectile weapons, Sasara suggests they can be a rescue team. She offers to team up, but Madoka and Mami note they are not always in Kamihama. Madoka offers to help if Sasara is in trouble while they are there. Sasara thanks them and departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami says Madoka is too kind and honest, wondering if she is walking a path of battle. Madoka points out Mami walks the same path, saying she aspired to be like Mami. Mami thanks her but advises running away if truly in danger. Madoka says it is fine, as she does not have the courage to sacrifice herself. Mami invites her for tea once they return to Mitakihara. Madoka narrates her wish to protect everyone with her own power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, at Mikazuki Villa, Felicia returns with souvenirs. She criticizes Iroha&#039;s cooking, and the group goes to Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant. Felicia laughs at the revelation that Tsuruno&#039;s politically-influential family now runs a Chinese restaurant, hurting Tsuruno&#039;s feelings. Iroha scolds Felicia for her insensitivity, causing Felicia to run off crying. Felicia finds Tsuruno at a park and apologizes. They reconcile, and Iroha apologizes for her harshness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Kyoko Sakura fights a witch in Kamihama City after moving there in search of them, but Felicia Mitsuki appears and delivers the killing blow first. They argue over the Grief Seed until Felicia suggests sharing it, and Kyoko concedes since the seed is used up anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kyoko]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she&#039;s hungry, Kyoko follows Felicia to Mitama&#039;s shop, where Mitama is looking for magical girls to taste test her cooking. When Mitama prepares to cook, the girls quickly realize she cannot handle a knife when it flies into the ceiling, forcing them to take over cutting and peeling. After they prepare the ingredients, Mitama adds the seasoning, but the girls later discover she had been using paint.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls refuse to let Mitama cook again and order her to get something ready-made instead. Mitama goes shopping with Felicia while Kyoko waits, and the result is a chaotic mix of items Felicia added. The meal is horrible, but Kyoko, who never wastes food, eats it all anyway and passes out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kyoko wakes up, she notices her body feels hot. Felicia explains she used her powers on their Soul Gems while they were unconscious, awakening Kyoko&#039;s magic. Kyoko realizes the heat is her own power emerging, and Felicia assures her she will get used to it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama offers the girls a limited-time service and mentions causing trouble recently when she made sweets for some girls. Kyoko asks if she means Mami Tomoe, and when Mitama asks if they are friends, Kyoko says she is kind of like one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Kyoko depart, with Kyoko remarking that Mitama&#039;s food is the kind you only have once in a lifetime, while Mitama is happy to have new customers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha returns to the Mirror Mansion. Tsuruno appears and insists they go in together, saying the copies make good training opponents. Unbeknownst to Iroha, Yachiyo asked Tsuruno to look out for her. They hear someone laughing and find Emiri and three duplicates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors12&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 12: Iroha, Again|Mirrors Story Layer 12: Iroha, Again]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Inside, Seika, Leila, and Mito argue until Mito reminds them of their promise about punishments. Mito closes her eyes but opens them and blocks the blow, realizing the other two are Mirror copies. The real Leila and Seika call out nearby. The trio fights off their own copies and leaves the barrier.

Mikoto&#039;s mother still lives in Swindlers&#039; Town. Mitama hopes her theory is partially wrong, but she does not tell Yachiyo that the date Mikoto became a Witch was the same day Mitama made her wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors36&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction|Mirrors Story Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Homura, troubled by a new vision of a girl in Kamihama City, decides to investigate. She and Madoka discuss Kamihama with Mami, who warns them about the city&#039;s dangers, including powerful Witches, Rumors, and a &amp;quot;human witch.&amp;quot; Mami insists on investigating alone first, and Homura and Madoka reluctantly agree to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 5: A Fascinating Secret]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, [[Nagisa Momoe]] arrives in Kamihama using the Mirror Witch&#039;s Barrier as a portal, accompanied by a silent pink Kyubey. She immediately senses multiple magical signatures belonging to Charlotte and realizes the Nagisa of this world has already become a Witch, with Charlottes appearing all over the city. Deciding she cannot be bothered with pest control immediately, she resolves to find some cheese first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Kamihama Cheese Panic!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before she can do so, she is engulfed in Charlotte&#039;s barrier and overwhelmed by multiple Witches, forcing her to flee and seek help. After escaping, she enters another Charlotte&#039;s barrier to find Kanoko Yayoi struggling inside, and together they defeat the Witch. Kanoko takes Nagisa to Walnuts, where Manaka Kurumi serves her a three-course cheese meal while Nagisa explains the Witch multiplies rapidly and has likely spread across all of Kamihama. Kanoko and Manaka agree to help gather Magical Girls for a coordinated attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa runs out to scout but immediately runs into another Charlotte, and Manaka and Kanoko rescue her. They begin gathering Magical Girls, and soon a large group assembles including Ria Ami, Rika Ayano, Ren Isuzu, Akira Shinobu, Sasara Minagi, Asuka Tatsuki, Emiri Kisaki, Himika Mao, and later Kako Natsume and Meiyui Chun. During their meeting at the park, they are attacked by a Charlotte and after a grueling battle, they defeat it while realizing even with all of them, defeating one Charlotte was difficult. As the group descends into bickering over who should lead, Nagisa realizes she must reveal her true identity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa explains she was sent from another universe to defeat this Witch, offering the pink Kyubey as proof. Though some are skeptical, Meiyui finds Nagisa interesting enough to play along, and secretly confirms the pink Kyubey&#039;s existence for Nanaka Tokiwa. Nagisa devises a strategy called &amp;quot;Welcome to Kamihama Cheese Party!&amp;quot; where Manaka sets up a giant cheese fondue by the river to attract every Charlotte in the city using the power of cheese. The plan succeeds, and with the teamwork of the Kamihama Magical Girls, every Charlotte is defeated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Overwhelmed, Nagisa blows the pink Kyubey to smithereens, realizing she was sent not to unify this universe with the Law of Cycles, but to prevent that unification and protect humanity&#039;s unknown future. Certain now of her purpose, she decides to go sightseeing first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami investigates Kamihama on her own, which leads her to the abandoned Kamihama Recording Museum where Mifuyu awaited her. Mifuyu and Alina Gray show her the truth of the Magical Girl system, which causes her to have a mental breakdown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 9: Closing In on Fendt Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa contemplates what to do with her newfound freedom while her attempts to argue with the unresponsive pink Kyubey go nowhere. She notices Mami and decides to follow her, sensing that something is wrong with the version of Mami she once knew. Using her acting skills, Nagisa pretends to chase a butterfly before faking a life-threatening injury, and when Mami fails to notice, she yells at her until Mami finally takes care of her, establishing first contact.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa makes Mami promise to come play with her next time she visits Kamihama, and they part ways, but Mami quickly returns and they spend time together at the park. Mami is still acting strangely, so Nagisa decides not to push too hard and they simply talk before Mami goes home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, in Mitakihara, Madoka and Homura discover Mami is missing. Homura attempts to investigate Kamihama City alone, but Madoka follows her. They reunite at Kamihama&#039;s train station and begin their search. Meanwhile, in Kamihama, Iroha reports to Yachiyo that Momoko has found a password-protected website with information on the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor. Momoko also warns them to avoid an entity called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Iroha receives a mysterious text message that reads, &amp;quot;Please reply.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is pulled into a Witch&#039;s Barrier and separated from Madoka. While searching for Homura, Madoka spots a girl heading toward the radio tower with a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Iroha and Yachiyo, having also spotted the same girl, rush to the tower to stop her from jumping. Madoka arrives and saves the girl. The three Magical Girls then enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. After the battle, Madoka explains she is searching for her missing classmate, Mami Tomoe. The rescued girl reveals the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; is a student at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Madoka is with Iroha and Yachiyo, Homura escapes the Witch&#039;s Barrier. She briefly assists Felicia and Tsuruno, who are at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy interrogating Tsukuyo Amane of the Wings of the Magius about the rumor. Yachiyo calls Tsuruno with the new information about the Mizuna student, which Tsuruno uses to pressure Tsukuyo into revealing the girl&#039;s name: Sana Futaba.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, another day finds Mami and Nagisa at the Kamihama copy of Tokyo Tower, where Mami begins opening up about her problems while they share cream cheese ice cream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They are out playing together once again when Charlotte suddenly appears and attacks. Mami tells Nagisa to run, but Nagisa refuses to transform and nearly has her head bitten off. Realizing that Mami is afraid of being a magical girl and making further mistakes, Nagisa finally transforms, revealing her true identity, and saves Mami from being beheaded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa cannot defeat Charlotte alone, but seeing her fight gives Mami the strength to overcome her fears, and together they manage to win. After the battle, Mami confronts Nagisa about what she truly is, but the pink Kyubey appears and Nagisa offers no real explanation. Now that Mami is feeling better, Nagisa decides they should part ways, promising Mami that she deserves happiness and that when they meet again they will have a tea party with cheesecake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magius, including Touka and Nemu Hiiragi, would then decide to fuse Mami with an Uwasa to control her. This fusion warps her desire to save people into a fanatical loyalty to the Magius and she starts acting as their public figurehead in the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day at the radio tower, Iroha and Yachiyo meet up with Tsuruno and Felicia, and they are also joined by Homura, who had been searching for Madoka. Iroha receives another text from the unknown number, which now identifies itself as &amp;quot;Ai&amp;quot; and begs to be deleted to free the trapped girl, Sana. Iroha also reveals she was the &amp;quot;human witch&amp;quot; Mami had seen, and Homura agrees to trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai provides a URL and password to a website called the &amp;quot;Kamihama Urban Legend Index&amp;quot; and the entry for the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; reveals the Uwasa is named &amp;quot;Anonymous Ai,&amp;quot; an A.I. that traps people in a dimension called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Madoka and Homura deduce Mami may also be trapped there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai sends memory logs of its interactions with Sana, which reveal Sana is a Magical Girl who wished to become invisible because she felt unwanted. She sought out Ai due to loneliness and over time, Ai developed a genuine care for Sana and now wishes for her to be rescued, even at the cost of its own deletion. After reviewing Ai&#039;s memory logs, which detail Sana&#039;s loneliness and Ai&#039;s care for her, Iroha decides to jump from the radio tower to enter Endless Solitude and rescue Sana. Madoka, and Homura agree to accompany her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the three jump from the tower and enter the &amp;quot;Endless Solitude&amp;quot; Labyrinth, where they find Sana Futaba and Ai. Homura and Madoka formally join Iroha&#039;s team for the rescue. Alina Gray, one of the Magius, appears to stop them, claiming she fed Mami Tomoe to a Witch, and unleashes her Doppel. During the battle, Homura observes the Doppel&#039;s power and questions if the Magius&#039; goal of saving Magical Girls is possible. She uses her time-stop magic to help Sana defeat Ai, and Sana ultimately destroys Ai, who thanks her before disappearing. Alina&#039;s hidden Witch emerges, and Yachiyo&#039;s team holds off the Wings of the Magius while Felicia, Madoka, and Homura pursue Alina. Felicia destroys the Witch, and the combined teams force Alina and the Wings of the Magius to retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Madoka and Homura return to Mitakihara, resolving to return to Kamihama to continue searching for Mami. Homura considers that Kamihama may hold the key to changing the fate of Madoka and all Magical Girls. Back in Kamihama, Yachiyo invites Sana to live at Mikazuki Villa, and the group holds a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Sayaka reflects on becoming a Magical Girl to heal Kyosuke and protect her friends, she learns from Madoka and Homura that Mami is missing. Despite warnings about the city&#039;s danger, Sayaka insists on joining their next search, stating her wish was to protect those she cares about. The three agree to go to Kamihama together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Sana returns to her family home to formally sever ties, leaving a note of thanks. She fully commits to Mikazuki Villa as her new home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101507 mug set5.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Sana reveals to the team that she overheard the Wings of the Magius discussing Nemu Hiiragi, one of the Magius and describing her as dangerous and useful. The team consolidates its understanding of the Wings&#039; structure: three Magius leaders, with Mifuyu acting as a relay to other Magical Girls and Iroha is left to ponder Ai&#039;s statement that it knew Ui &amp;quot;as an Uwasa.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, and Tsuruno encounter Shizuku after she&#039;s just used her personal magic to help a member of the Wings of the Magius for their duties. Concerned, they invite her to Mikazuki Villa. Shizuku meets Felicia and Sana as well and shares a meal with the group. Iroha explains that eating together makes her feel she has found a place to belong. Yachiyo formally invites Shizuku to stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Shizuku realizes the home the five girls have built is complete without her, and the place she truly belonged was with Fūnī, who is now gone. She leaves Mikazuki Villa quietly while the girls are out preparing a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day the girls wait with a cake, but Shizuku does not return. Yachiyo concludes she will not come back. Shizuku returns to her anonymous employer for another job, stating that the &amp;quot;picture&amp;quot; at the villa was complete with five people and she must continue her search alone. She acknowledges her actions may cause a disaster but feels unprepared to take responsibility, still walking on unstable ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, during this time, after joining the Wings of the Magius, Mami, now residing in a house provided by Touka, grapples with a fractured psyche, manifesting as a dialogue between her regular self and a zealous &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona. She dedicates herself completely to the Magius&#039; goal of &amp;quot;releasing&amp;quot; Magical Girls, prioritizing it over her education. Touka and Alina visit to tutor her, though their lessons quickly diverge into their own passionate interests in mathematics and art, respectively.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka and Alina receive a call for assistance from the Amane sisters. Mami joins Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane to hunt a Witch. During the mission, the Amane sisters explain that the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict with Magical Girls who are unaware of the truth about Witches. Mami defeats the Witch using her Doppel, &amp;quot;Florence,&amp;quot; whom she relies on to suppress her lingering doubts about the Magius&#039; methods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the hunt, Touka summons Mami to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward to deal with &amp;quot;troublesome&amp;quot; Magical Girls who escaped a Rumor. Mami fails to capture them, which triggers another internal crisis. Her &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona reaffirms her faith in the Magius as the only salvation for Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami dines at an upscale restaurant with Mifuyu, Touka, and Alina. They discuss the day&#039;s events, including the escaped Magical Girls and the failed Witch observation. Touka expresses frustration at their slow progress, while Mifuyu counsels patience.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, Mami returns to Mitakihara alone. She reflects on Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, and feeling responsible for involving them in the world of Magical Girls, she believes she cannot face them with the horrific truth and resolves that the only path is to see the Magius&#039; plan through to completion. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence but dismisses it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Iroha&#039;s Side Story====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia announce a Magical Girl training camp hosted by Asuka Tatsuki. Yachiyo, Sana, and Iroha decline to attend, forming the &amp;quot;vegetarian group,&amp;quot; while Tsuruno and Felicia, the &amp;quot;carnivorous group,&amp;quot; leave for the camp.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That weekend, in Tsuruno and Felicia&#039;s absence, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana find the house quiet and their routines disrupted. At the camp, Tsuruno and Felicia train with Momoko&#039;s team but also find themselves missing the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana prepare a welcome-home hotpot for the two. While shopping, they realize they know their friends&#039; preferences intimately. Tsuruno and Felicia return from the camp early, stating they thought the others would be lonely. The group reunites for dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura====&lt;br /&gt;
* After the battle with Alina Gray and the Rumor of the Anonymous AI, Homura and Madoka decide to leave for Kamihama to search for the missing Mami. Kyubey approaches Homura with a request: he wants her to take him to Kamihama, as Incubators cannot enter alone, and offers all his gathered information in exchange. Knowing what she does about him, Homura refuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Homura, Madoka, and Sayaka return to Kamihama to continue their search. They are almost immediately assaulted by the Witch Candy, which they defeat easily at first before it transforms into its true form and attacks again. When Homura attempts to stop time to save her friends, she finds the Witch is unaffected and her Soul Gem begins filling with impurities. As she succumbs, her Doppel awakens - manifesting after she uses a broken Incubator&#039;s body for knowledge and power - and unleashes its fury on the Witch. Exhausted but alive, Homura finds her Soul Gem purified. Together they finish the Witch, and Madoka suggests they visit the Coordinator Iroha told her about. Determined to become stronger, Homura agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Amane Sisters and Tsuruno====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno dreams of her elementary school self declaring she will restore her family&#039;s greatness and serve ramen at the White House. The dream shifts to her father relaying that her grandfather was happy but wants her to find her own happiness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Tsukuyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes to find a letter from her sister. She opens it excitedly but is shocked by its contents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, inside a Witch&#039;s barrier, the Amane twins confront Tsuruno seeking revenge. Distracted by her sister&#039;s letter, she is easily knocked out, and the twins grow horrified when she does not move.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno dreams of her sister&#039;s letter, which suggests their goal might be a mistake. A shadow version of Tsuruno appears, accusing her of stealing someone else&#039;s dream and lacking the ability to fulfill it. The shadow insists everything she did was meaningless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amanes bring Tsuruno to Mitama for help. Though Tsuruno is their enemy, the twins explain their goal is to save all magical girls. Mitama realizes they need to take Tsuruno outside, pointing to her tainted Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, the shadow urges Tsuruno to give up. Tsuruno refuses, thinking of her friends. She realizes that making them happy is her new goal, not the family business. She finally understands her grandfather meant that saving the business was only a possible result, not a goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes in an alley to find the Amanes, Mitama, and her embarrassing pig Doppel. The twins are relieved she is safe and declare they are even now. Mitama offers free adjustments to all three, and though the twins try to decline, Tsuruno drags them inside. Tsuruno reflects that she reached a different conclusion than her sister. She will keep working hard and make everyone happy. Tsukuyo begs to be let go if that is the case.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary====&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo explains that Mikazuki Villa&#039;s anniversary is the day her grandmother began renting the house out. She suggests having a small party now that the house is lively again. Tsuruno is excited to attend. Iroha calls Tsuruno the face of Mikazuki Villa, though Tsuruno feels she does not deserve the title since she does not live there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in the Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the anniversary day, the girls gather for tea. Yachiyo reveals a dance game contest with a prize: Sankyo Headquarters&#039; limited-quantity chilled matcha cake. Yachiyo chooses super-extreme mode. The contest begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A fire truck siren interrupts the party. It turns out to be a malfunctioning smoke detector. They return to find the matcha cake stolen. Tsuruno and Sana claim they saw Lil&#039; Kyubey eat it. Iroha defends them, saying it was with her the entire time. Yachiyo recalls an Uwasa called the &amp;quot;Anniversary Bug,&amp;quot; an invisible pest that sows discord at parties.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Uwasa appears in a labyrinth. Felicia accidentally kills it by stepping on it. The winner of the dance contest is Iroha. Yachiyo reveals there were actually six pieces of cake—enough for everyone plus one extra for the winner. Iroha gives her extra piece to Lil&#039; Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Iroha and Yachiyo clean up. Yachiyo shares her grandmother&#039;s words: people will always come and go, but they are all part of Mikazuki Villa. Iroha promises to work hard so Yachiyo can say the current Mikazuki Villa is the best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Summer with Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* After arriving at the hostel, the Mikazuki Villa members meet Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, who secretly followed because Rena wanted to join the trip. The group spends the day playing at the beach, where Tsuruno and Felicia dominate a game of beach flags, and Sana tearfully confides in Iroha that this is her first holiday ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer With Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the group participates in a spicy food eating contest at a seaside restaurant, where Yachiyo surprises everyone by consuming nearly one hundred forty-two bowls of pasta to secure victory for her team against Konoha, Nanaka, and the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, Sana&#039;s late-night sighting of a shadowy figure screaming &amp;quot;Come on go&amp;quot; sparks a beach-wide rumor that eventually draws in Kokoro, Masara, Aimi, Mito, and Reira, only for the mystery to be solved when Seika introduces her Manzai teacher Ayaka, whose gag playing on the phrase&#039;s rhythm reveals the source of the confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fourth day, the Mikazuki Villa girls and Momoko&#039;s trio attempt to teach Iroha how to swim without her float, but their efforts fail repeatedly. Iroha eventually explains that she used to be a swimmer until a traumatic incident: during a rare hospital holiday for her sister Ui, the family visited a pool, and Iroha mistook Ui happily paddling for drowning. In her rush to help, Iroha tripped and nearly drowned herself, leaving her with lasting anxiety about it. Suddenly, Rena begins drowning and cries for help via telepathy. The team rushes to save her, and surprisingly Iroha proves fastest, reaching Rena first and giving her the float while swimming them both to shore. On the way, Rena explains her leg was caught in seaweed, not cramped as she thought. Once Iroha realizes Rena is safe, her sisterly instincts fade and she begins drowning herself, having temporarily overcome her fear only through concern for another. Yachiyo reassures Iroha that the rescue proves she can still swim and encourages her to practice diligently. Iroha looks forward to regaining her ability fully, hoping that by then she and Ui can visit the pool together again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Swimrohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fifth day, Tsuruno leads the team on a surprise treasure hunt, guiding them through a forest with help from Konomi and Mayu to confront the &amp;quot;evil queen&amp;quot; Mitama, who surrenders a map piece that leads them to a cave with a beautiful stream, which was nature&#039;s treasure all along.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the sixth day, the team attends an unorthodox summer festival produced by Emiri, where they meet Rika, repeatedly mispronounce festival icon Ria&#039;s name, and watch Felicia win a mushroom whacking contest before everyone joins in Bon Odori dancing under fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning, the group visits the beach one last time and asks Manaka to take a group photo, with Iroha treasuring these memories with her friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia surprise Iroha with a birthday party, having learned the date from her parents. They give her heartfelt gifts - a cookbook, a photo album, a drawing inspired by the &amp;quot;come on go&amp;quot; search, and a handmade brooch - and Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive with a bouquet and food, moving Iroha to tears of joy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====One Fleeting Summer Night====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane arrive at Touka&#039;s private beach for vacation. After enjoying various activities, Touka offers them a reward if they can think of something fun for her to do. Learning from the housekeeper about a town festival featuring a unique ceremony, the group heads there but finds it canceled because a historic Coral Necklace went missing. The twins offer to help search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - One Fleeting Summer Night]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Investigating the hilltop shrine where the necklace was kept, Nemu concludes someone with a key took it, likely to cancel the festival since the other ceremonial item remains safe. At the ocean shrine cave, the twins sense an unsettling presence and receive a vision of crying twin girls before the shrine door mysteriously opens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the plaza, Tsukasa finds a fragment of a shrine maiden&#039;s hairpin. The elder accuses one of the maidens of stealing the necklace. When confronted, the maiden flees to the hilltop shrine and smashes the necklace rather than return it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the group returns to the cave to see light-reflecting moss. The twins experience another vision of twin girls speaking of not wanting to be left to die. They resolve to investigate further the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The twins visit the village elder and offer to serve as substitute shrine maidens. He reluctantly agrees, and an older villager gives them ornate hair ornaments traditionally given to newborn girls. Nemu reveals the town once sacrificed children to appease a sea god, and those children became the gods honored in the ceremony.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the twins try to explain their visions, the others are skeptical. Before they can prove anything, the elder rushes them to begin the ceremony early. At the hilltop shrine, villagers restrain them and remove their Soul Gem rings. The Magius fight through but cannot reach the twins in time as the elder pushes them off a cliff into the ocean.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sinking and weakening, the twins receive a final vision from the sacrificed twin girls, who speak of wanting their suffering to be seen and their fates changed. The Amanes awaken on the beach to learn a Witch appeared when they fell. After its defeat, all villagers lost consciousness. The Pearl Comb was shattered, making the ceremony impossible to complete.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The exhausted twins relax on the beach, having not slept. Tsukasa wonders if the gifted hair clip saved them. Though saddened that no one will remember the sacrificed girls, the twins resolve to change the fates of all Magical Girls. The elder and shrine maiden apologize, and Touka promises to take them to another of her family&#039;s vacation homes as a reward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Mifuyu updates Alina on the twins&#039; miraculous reunion. Examining a black card, Alina notices a happy face stamp emanating magic. At Fenthope, she deduces another Rumor is interfering: the Rumor of the Happy Stamp, which appears at Christmastime and overrides the Fur God&#039;s power, causing joy instead. Alina decides to stop using the Fur God Rumor, as it only wastes her energy, and transforms back to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When nothing special occurs and Yachiyo realizes she forgot her wallet, Iroha finds a 500 yen coin in her pocket, which is just enough to buy beans for the red-bean soup they wanted. They return home to make and enjoy the soup together, and Yachiyo reflects that while big luck is rare, small bits of luck can be found each day and should be appreciated throughout the year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;luckyny&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - New Year Lucky Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The group agrees, and Yachiyo announces the theme: this year&#039;s resolution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - This Year&#039;s Aspirations for Brush Dyeing!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka finishes first, having written &amp;quot;Get to know everyone better,&amp;quot; explaining that she wants to be someone who can truly understand and support the people she meets. Iroha is inspired by her words and writes &amp;quot;Don&#039;t be afraid to ask for help,&amp;quot; realizing she doesn&#039;t have to shoulder everything alone. Yachiyo presents her resolution, &amp;quot;Wishing for good health and safety at home,&amp;quot; admitting it may be cliché but sincerely believing in the fortune of staying healthy and avoiding disaster. Mitama first jokes with &amp;quot;Prosperous business&amp;quot; before revealing her true wish, &amp;quot;Everyone getting along well,&amp;quot; which Yachiyo acknowledges is not an easy hope to fulfill.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Sayaka panics upon realizing everyone else has finished, struggling to find a resolution that isn&#039;t solely about being a magical girl. Her thoughts drift to Kyosuke against her will, and Mitama teases her about writing something love-related. Flustered, Sayaka denies having feelings for anyone, though internally she admits she wants to do her best in love too. Unable to confess that truth, she hastily writes &amp;quot;Do my best,&amp;quot; declaring she will work hard in all sorts of ways this year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With everyone finished, they tidy up and Felicia eagerly anticipates the sukiyaki. Mitama laments that she, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno won&#039;t be able to submit theirs since it&#039;s not homework for them, calling it a waste. Yachiyo suggests displaying them at home for the New Year, and Tsuruno proposes putting up everyone&#039;s resolutions. When Yachiyo worries about the inconvenience for Madoka&#039;s group to retrieve them later, they assure her they plan to visit Kamihama again anyway. They hang all the calligraphy together, each resolution on display, and everyone wishes each other a good year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano====&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before a science event, a White Feather from the Wings of Magius informs Mitama Yakumo that a higher-up will be visiting and she should complete any necessary business when they arrive. Mitama says she will be prepared.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day, Hinano Miyako accidentally fills her science club room with gas during experiment preparations, forcing her to use her gas mask. She reflects on a previous incident as she cleans up for the next day&#039;s event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hinano explains her mishap to her audience, and her assistant Emiri Kisaki steals the punchline by emphasizing the importance of perfect preparation. Afterward, Emiri learns Hinano was attempting to create a height-increasing drug—the same goal that led to a near-fatal accident five years ago and her contract with Kyubey. Emiri makes Hinano promise to stop dangerous experiments, but Hinano immediately breaks this promise and sneaks back to continue her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Emiri rushes an unconscious Hinano to Mitama&#039;s place. Hinano had drunk her experimental drug and collapsed from violent stomach pains. After purification, Hinano explains her dream: as a child, she admired a long-legged older girl who hosted science events, and she wanted to become that kind of dashing figure. Emiri reveals her own wish was a spur-of-the-moment desire to be the cutest little devil possible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano&#039;s unresolved feelings cause her Soul Gem to corrupt, and she is suddenly pulled into a barrier. A shadowy version of herself appears, claiming to be the pure crystallization of her aspirations. It transforms into her Doppel—a poison monster wearing an attractive lab coat with long legs. Hinano hears Emiri&#039;s telepathic voice shouting that she does not want to part with her, giving her strength. She realizes that while she failed to become a mature figure, her approachable appearance helped her meet Emiri and make friends. The shadow asks if she will give up her research, and Hinano declares she will continue with a completely safe version. The barrier vanishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Hinano and Emiri leave, Alina Gray appears and confirms she created the barrier to contain Hinano&#039;s Doppel and protect Mitama. Mitama offers adjustment as thanks, asking Alina to continue favoring her business.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!====&lt;br /&gt;
* As Yachiyo makes lunch, Felicia barges in with a flyer announcing that Mitama is trying her hand at professional photography and offering free photos for one day only. The others are surprised, having heard nothing about this, but they agree to go and take a team photo since they have nothing else planned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s makeshift studio, she admits they are her only customers and shows off a new camera she bought because the advertisement claimed it would make anyone a pro photographer. When she starts taking photos, however, every attempt fails spectacularly, producing bizarre images like Madoka with people jumping from a plane and Homura posing with a lion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Frustrated, Mitama declares she will quit being an adjuster to devote herself to photography, but the girls protest that everyone in Kamihama would be in trouble without her. They reassure her that they trust her, and Tsuruno adds that she would not have become the strongest without Mitama&#039;s help. Mitama relents and agrees to remain an adjuster, though she will continue practicing photography in her free time. Later, a successful group photo of both Iroha and Madoka&#039;s teams is shown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama====&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama Yakumo invites a surprising number of magical girls to her place for an event she calls the &amp;quot;Great Mitama Thanksgiving.&amp;quot; When she finally arrives, she reveals that the gathering is actually a quiz tournament about herself, with the winner receiving a free adjustment session and the title of &amp;quot;Mitama&#039;s Perfect Lover.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz begins with multiple choice questions, and wrong answers trigger a trap door beneath the contestant, though cushions soften the fall. The first question asks Mitama&#039;s actual age, and Tsuruno guesses incorrectly, landing her in the trap. The second question asks whether Mitama&#039;s cooking is delicious, and when Felicia and Manaka both guess wrong, Mitama confirms that the correct answer is that her food is indeed delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz continues through several rounds, eliminating more contestants along the way. When the ninth question asks about Mitama&#039;s favorite movie, Ria guesses incorrectly and is eliminated for insulting the film&#039;s actress. Sana is also eliminated when Mitama takes pity on her after she panics over Iroha&#039;s safety, and Mitama confirms that &amp;quot;Pacifistic Hayashi&amp;quot; was the correct answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama admits she has run out of questions but still has many competitors remaining, so she decides to draw lots to pick a winner instead. Momoko asks why Mitama held the event in the first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama remembers a time where she tried using her magic to defeat a familiar on her own, and that even if her services are no longer needed, she can still protect herself. She has obtained the magic to keep living that she never had before, and if she ever had to abandon her neutrality, she could use it to help someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Mitama explains that she held the event because something good happened to her. The other girls sense a Witch and leave to hunt it, and Mitama tells them to draw their lots later. Alone, she wonders who she should use her power on when she eventually decides to stop being neutral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====I&#039;m the Star of this Show!====&lt;br /&gt;
* One night, Ria Ami receives a call from her manager about a fashion show that wants her as the prestigious last guest.

** That night, Ria dreams. On the day of the fashion show, she runs into a Witch. Kyoko Sakura appears in the barrier. Mistaking Kyoko for a fan, Ria tries to show off, but Kyoko tells her to stay out of the way. They fight. Ria leaves the barrier and finds she has missed the show completely. Horrified, she wakes up. It was only a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, she and Asuka Tatsuki arrive to cheer. Asuka reveals she has been practicing for this day. During the event, Asuka cheers for Ria like it is a sports event. Ria knows she means no harm but feels embarrassed, as if Asuka is ruining the event. She wakes up again. Another dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, just as she is about to go on stage, the power cuts out. Though it quickly returns, the audience&#039;s enthusiasm has diminished. Ria blames herself for being unable to overcome the outage. She wakes up, realizing she has been dreaming about the show every single night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual day of the show, Ria pinches her cheek to make sure it is real. She stumbles into a Witch barrier, and Kyoko appears just as in her dreams. This time, Ria tells Kyoko she can take the credit for killing the Witch. Ria leaves and meets Asuka and Mayu. When she learns Asuka has practiced cheering, Ria explains that fashion shows have their own etiquette and promises to send her details later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just before Ria&#039;s turn on stage, the power cuts out for real. Ria decides to make it part of the show. She asks the audience to get out their penlights and turn them all on her when she gives the signal. Her improvisation is a complete success, though she wishes she could have shown her perfect walk. She thinks she is feeling the best feeling in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls are surprised to learn that Felicia scored fifty-two points on a test, and she asks for a reward. Yachiyo deems her request to go to MooMoo Park too expensive and instead promises a fancy dinner the next day, which satisfies Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha discovers that Tsuruno left her phone in the refrigerator and offers to return it while Yachiyo goes to a photo shoot. During breakfast, a commercial for MooMoo Park airs on television.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After breakfast, Felicia shows Sana the park commercial on her phone and admits she still wants to go, so she drags Sana along to catch animals at a riverbank. Meanwhile, Iroha returns Tsuruno&#039;s phone and helps out at her family&#039;s restaurant. At the riverbank, Felicia finds a small turtle, but Ayame Mikuri appears and accuses her of harassment. The two magical girls fight, and Felicia releases the turtle to protect it before running off, leaving Sana behind. Yachiyo finds Sana on her way home and learns what happened, then invites her to lunch. Felicia returns to the house, still angry at Ayame, and takes a nap after lunch. She dreams that the turtle thanks her and promises something at the riverbank, so she wakes and goes out to find it. She returns with a ticket for two to MooMoo Park. The others reveal that Iroha also received a ticket from Tsuruno&#039;s father, and Yachiyo got one at a meat store, so everyone can now go together. The girls happily resolve to visit the park and enjoy their dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of====&lt;br /&gt;
* An old lady asks Kanagi Izumi for a deli recommendation, and Kanagi suggests the potato soup and meat skewers, knowing the customer&#039;s daughter loves them. When the lady asks if this is truly Kanagi&#039;s last day, Kanagi confirms it and expresses regret at not seeing her again. At the end of her shift, Kanagi thanks her boss and coworkers, who are sad to see her go, but she needs higher pay to support her family and the grocery store cannot match her new job&#039;s wages.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives home later than usual due to a going-away party, and her father apologizes for not working enough to provide, though Kanagi is happy to help. He worries about her new job being radically different from her previous work, but Kanagi believes it is worth it since the pay means she can quit her second job and have more free time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi starts her new job at a maid café and impresses her coworker by already having a parfait ready. Despite learning the kitchen pace quickly, the hall is understaffed, and when the manager offers to help, Kanagi replies &amp;quot;Yes, sir!&amp;quot; only to be corrected that the manager prefers to be called &amp;quot;madam.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the rush, the head maid wishes for another maid, and the manager asks Kanagi to try working the floor for a raise. Kanagi&#039;s eyes widen at the salary and she accepts, receiving the maid nickname &amp;quot;Maid Nagitan.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid reviews basics with Kanagi, who feels confident due to her customer service background and sees this as a life-or-death matter to earn more for her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika Kumi, Reira Ibuki, and Mito Aino enter, and Kanagi greets them with a serious look and curt &amp;quot;welcome,&amp;quot; leaving them surprised by her cold, soldier-like demeanor. When Mito asks if she is really a maid, Kanagi introduces herself as Maid Nagitan and shakes Mito&#039;s hand firmly, causing Seika to freeze up. Later, when Reira asks if she will do &amp;quot;the thing&amp;quot; of adding love to the food, Kanagi misinterprets and says she cannot profess love to strangers, leaving the girls let down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At another table, a customer also wants &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; but Kanagi declines, saying she is no liar. The head maid intervenes and reminds Kanagi this is a maid café, explaining their job is creating a fun atmosphere. Kanagi returns to the trio&#039;s table and notices Seika staring, misinterpreting it as a staring contest. They stare at each other until Seika faints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid calls Kanagi completely hopeless and explains a maid&#039;s worth comes from tending to others, telling her to return to the kitchen if she cannot take the work seriously. The manager offers a one-week trial period: if Kanagi improves by week&#039;s end, she stays a maid. Kanagi vows to work with every fiber of her being.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Karin Misono finishes reading &amp;quot;Detective Maid Mei&amp;quot; and notices Kanagi slumped on a swing, muttering about what makes a good maid. Karin recognizes her as the boss of the East and, seeing an opportunity for her manga, asks Kanagi to tell her everything. Karin lends her the Detective Maid Mei manga for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Kanagi reads the manga and notes how the maid greets masters warmly, respects their decisions, and lets the master grow when needed. At the end, the maid strikes a pose. Kanagi meets Karin at the park to return the manga and heads to work with Karin tagging along for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the café, two boys enter and Kanagi greets them warmly as masters, surprising them with her &amp;quot;cool but kind&amp;quot; demeanor. The head maid smiles at her improvement. Kanagi serves Karin a Lovely Rice Omelet, and when Karin suggests she draw on it with ketchup, Kanagi tries to draw a kirin but it looks like a weird animal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Two more customers arrive, Aimi Eri and Natsuki Utsuho. Kanagi serves them and offers to draw on their omelets, writing Aimi&#039;s crush&#039;s name with hearts on her plate. As she leaves, Karin motions for her, and Kanagi does the manga pose, telling them to let her take care of any problems. At day&#039;s end, the head maid notes Kanagi&#039;s huge improvement but says it is too early to celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The final test begins, and the manager outlines that Kanagi must please the next returning customer, ensuring the master leaves with a smile. The door jingles as Konomi Haruna enters, distressed to find herself in a maid café. Kanagi greets her warmly and shows her to a seat despite the manager&#039;s concern.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi orders the Maid&#039;s Special Herbal Blend after Kanagi&#039;s recommendation, but when Kanagi offers to play a game then arm wrestle, Konomi panics, drinks quickly, pays, and leaves. The manager agrees that Kanagi should return to the kitchen as promised. Kanagi walks home alone, bothered by something beyond the wage cut.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi is back in the kitchen, and the kitchen staff is delighted. At day&#039;s end, the head maid tells her the staff appreciated her return, and Kanagi wonders why no one said they were glad when she worked as a maid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager notices her expression and encourages her to think until she is satisfied with the answer. Kanagi decides to find Konomi and ask what she lacked, recalling her school uniform.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi enters Konomi&#039;s flower shop, and Konomi is shocked. Kanagi asks what she lacked as a maid, but Konomi apologizes for assuming Kanagi was scary due to East-West history. She explains she entered by mistake, but Kanagi was considerate, made a helpful suggestion, and offered to ease her anxiety. It felt like Kanagi was doing it just for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi realizes that is what she was lacking: taking into account what the other person wants and responding to it. At the park, Kanagi reflects that customers come to enjoy the atmosphere and it is her job to consider whether it is worthwhile for them. She berates herself for making masters uncomfortable. Karin finds her and insists she should keep being a maid, offering to talk to the manager. Kanagi smiles and asks for a different favor instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi approaches the manager for a second chance, proposing she serve the same three customers who left when Seika fainted. The manager agrees to let her try. Karin finds Reira and Seika at a park and extends an invitation for them to return so Nagitan can make it up to them. Reira agrees, and Karin hands them invitations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio enters the café with Seika frozen, and Kanagi greets them warmly and shows them to their table. Kanagi serves their omelets, and when Mito asks if they were made with love, Kanagi admits she could not be dishonest but offers to draw with ketchup instead. She gives Mito the bottle to draw while Kanagi draws on Mito&#039;s plate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They play rock-paper-scissors, and Reira explains Seika is very shy and fainted because she had to make eye contact with someone new. Seika&#039;s class is doing a maid café for the school festival and she wanted to do her best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika admits she thought Kanagi was so confident she lost her own confidence. Kanagi points to the head maid as the ideal and explains she herself could never be like that, so she tries her best in her own way, encouraging Seika to find her own style. Seika smiles and asks for a picture. Kanagi agrees if her face is hidden, and before they leave, she does her signature pose and tells Seika to remember it when nervous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager calls Kanagi over and offers her the maid position, noting she learned something important. Kanagi says she wants to keep being a maid, not just for the paycheck, but to use what she learned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day at the café, Kanagi serves drinks and poses for pictures with a face mask, her fans cheering. Karin calls for her to do &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; and the café erupts yelling &amp;quot;Nagitan!&amp;quot; Karin and Kanagi walk home, and when Kanagi asks about her manga, Karin realizes she never drew it. Kanagi offers to help, but when Karin asks if she will do the pose, Kanagi reminds her she is off the clock. Karin looks down sadly as Kanagi returns to being serious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia====&lt;br /&gt;
* During the day, Felicia eats Tsuruno&#039;s ice candy without realizing it was hers because she cannot read kanji. Tsuruno reprimands Yachiyo when she learns Yachiyo knew and was preparing to buy a replacement. Yachiyo states it is impossible to guard the fridge constantly. Felicia, overwhelmed with guilt and anger that no one listens to her confession, loses control and flips the kitchen table before locking herself in her room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Felicia has a nightmare. She dreams her falling grades caused a huge argument between her parents, who blamed each other for neglecting her. Both ignore her confession and promise to try harder. Her mother storms back to the kitchen to cook. Felicia recalls that a Witch attacked immediately after, killing her parents, and she wakes up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She goes to the kitchen for water, but Iroha is there and points out she looks pale. Iroha tells her to rest and offers to bring water to her room. Felicia loses her temper and storms out of the house. Iroha wakes the others to find her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Felicia hears a voice claiming to be her. The voice pulls her into a barrier, where another Felicia lures her toward a locked box, revealing itself as her Doppel. Felicia nearly opens the box but remembers Yachiyo&#039;s words about some things being best left unknown. Her instincts tell her she is not ready.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She promises her Doppel she will return when she is stronger and hopes it can hold the truth for her. The Doppel accepts and returns to normal. Felicia wakes up at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo inform her they found her unconscious in the park. Felicia tells them about the encounter and her desire to become strong enough to fulfill her promise. Mitama offers a free power-up session to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha recalls they found Felicia releasing her Doppel in the park before losing consciousness. Yachiyo notes this has never happened before. She remembers that Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane once said Doppels are materialized emotions. Yachiyo concludes Felicia carries a heavy burden and tells Iroha to keep this secret until Felicia either realizes it herself or becomes strong enough to handle the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Monogatari Series Collab====&lt;br /&gt;
* During this time, a Witch causes several girls from another universe to be brought into this universe, turning them into special &#039;what if&#039; forms as Magical Girls, changing their memories as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc0&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shinobu Oshino, originally a legendary vampire in her world, she became the &amp;quot;Immortal Magical Girl&amp;quot; by wishing &amp;quot;I wish to die.&amp;quot; However, as a result, the prey she hunts become nourishment for her and her life span extends instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shinobubio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino#Game Info|Shinobu&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi Hachikuji became a &amp;quot;labyrinth Magical Girl&amp;quot; with the wish “I wish to return home”. With her excellent defense, she could cause the enemy’s attack to avoid her, as if it had lost its way, but for some reason, she could never reach my mother’s house.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayoibio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji#Game Info|Mayoi&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She fought to protect the world and the people dear to her from ruin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yotsugibio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yotsugi Ononoki#Game Info|Yotsugi&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hitagi Senjougahara became a &amp;quot;gravitational Magical Girl,&amp;quot; who seized the weight of the object attacked by her hammer. The more she seized, the more massive her hammer grew, and was strengthened. Her wish was “Please give me memories.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hitagibio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hitagi Senjougahara#Game Info|Hitagi&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suruga Kanbaru became a &amp;quot;pioneer Magical Girl,&amp;quot; where she was fused with her motorbike after her transformation. Although she was the star who led Naoetsu High School&#039;s basketball club to the national tournament, she frequently made dangerous actions and comments. Her wish was &amp;quot;I want to be faster than anyone.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Surugabio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Suruga Kanbaru#Game Info|Suruga&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nadeko Sengoku became the &amp;quot;prostrating Magical Girl,&amp;quot; who fought with landmines while creeping because of her extremely timid personality, yet often carelessly stepped on them herself. Her wish was &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want anyone to see me.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nadekobio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nadeko Sengoku#Game Info|Nadeko&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsubasa Hanekawa became &amp;quot;the memorial Magical Girl,&amp;quot; who lost her memories when she burnt something with a flame bottle, but her top-notch brain in her grade would constantly store new memories. Her wish was &amp;quot;I want to forget everything,&amp;quot; and her attacks burn through her memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsubasabio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsubasa Hanekawa#Game Info|Tsubasa&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shinobu Oshino, Mayoi Hachikuji and Yotsugi Ononoki hunt a Witch together. Shinobu begins her dramatic introduction and finishing move, but Yotsugi defeats the Witch with a simple &amp;quot;Hyah&amp;quot; and Mayoi lands the final blow with &amp;quot;Yah.&amp;quot; Shinobu is annoyed at their failure to call out special moves. Shinobu argues that calling out attacks is the essence of being a Magical Girl, but Yotsugi dismisses this as an outdated trope. Shinobu retorts that refusing to act the part is dumb, and Yotsugi reluctantly agrees. Shinobu declares they need training to act more befitting of Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Shinobu&#039;s Heartphial Story: Shinobu Spells]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shinobu demonstrates by striking a pose and delivering her lines with perfect timing. When Yotsugi tries, her performance is terrible. Shinobu forces her to try again, and Yotsugi reluctantly says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; but finds it unpleasant and refuses to repeat it. Mayoi asks Shinobu to help her come up with lines. After a few stumbles, she declares, &amp;quot;I, Mayoi Hachikuji, hereby condemn those Witches who seek to ravage this earth!&amp;quot; Shinobu finds it charming, and Mayoi admits leaning into the Magical Girl thing is fun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They enter a real Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Mayoi messes up her line again but turns it into an improvised bit while evading attacks. Yotsugi delivers a longer speech and says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; landing the attack. Shinobu finishes the Witch with her full finishing move. After the battle, morning comes. Shinobu declares the training will continue, but Yotsugi walks away. Mayoi distracts Shinobu by suggesting breakfast, and Shinobu wants donuts. Yachiyo, out for an early walk, overhears them and decides she wants donuts too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa and helps Yachiyo prepare breakfast. Sana joins them, but when she goes to wake Felicia, she finds Felicia’s room empty and her shoes gone; Felicia’s phone is also out of service. Worried, Yachiyo calls Tsuruno for help, and the group splits up to search the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part I: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the search, Iroha’s Soul Gem reacts to a nearby Witch. Inside the labyrinth, they encounter two unfamiliar magical girls who are already fighting the Witch: Mayoi Hachikuji and Shinobu Oshino. After the Witch is defeated, introductions are exchanged. Mayoi and Shinobu explain they are traveling and looking for a lost friend named Yotsugi Ononoki, who has bluish‑green pigtails, a peculiar hat with eyes, and a frilly dress. The two groups exchange phone numbers to help each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Felicia has in fact met Yotsugi. Yotsugi buys her ice cream, and Felicia learns Yotsugi is also traveling. Felicia offers to show Yotsugi around town as thanks, taking her to the shopping street, a spot with cats, and a bench good for naps. Yotsugi finds everything unfamiliar and feels something is off, as if she has buttoned her shirt wrong. She shortens Felicia’s name to “Felly,” which makes Felicia happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha’s group eventually spots Felicia with Yotsugi. When Yachiyo hugs Felicia in relief, Felicia reacts as if she does not know any of them. She remembers Yachiyo only as a famous magical girl, but has no memory of living at Mikazuki Villa. The group realizes Felicia has lost her memories. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive and reunite with Yotsugi. Felicia refuses to go with Iroha’s group, accusing them of being kidnappers. Yotsugi offers a third option: Felicia can join their traveling team. Mayoi warns Felicia that if she chooses to leave with them, she will never return to the home that might be waiting for her. Felicia becomes confused and cries. Iroha proposes they all have dinner together at Mikazuki Villa first, so Felicia can calm down and decide later and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, Felicia asks Yotsugi what she likes to eat. Yotsugi admits a preference for expensive cup ice cream. Felicia awkwardly asks if Yotsugi&#039;s face is always stuck like that, and Yotsugi confirms it is. After arriving, Felicia eagerly tries to get Yotsugi to play video games, serves her extra portions of food, and challenges her to a pillow fight. Yotsugi excuses herself to take a bath, leaving Felicia disappointed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yotsugi Ononoki#Side Story|Yotsugi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Yotsugi Sister]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Felicia apologizes for being clingy, explaining that Yachiyo and the others pulled her aside to warn her. Felicia confesses she had been trying to make Yotsugi smile, assuming she had lost her parents like Felicia did. Yotsugi clarifies that her emotions simply do not show on her face, but she does feel them. She admits playing the game was fun and the food was not bad. Felicia is overjoyed and runs off to brag to everyone. Shinobu and Mayoi, who had been eavesdropping, tease Yotsugi for finding Felicia cute. Yotsugi concedes that Felicia is exhausting, but seeing her face light up from a drop of attention is not unpleasant. She gains newfound respect for all older sisters in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the villa, Shinobu requests doughnuts for dessert, and the group plays games. Yotsugi helps in the kitchen and notices the chicken meat has a nice springy firmness. During dinner, the group shares memories of how they met Felicia. Felicia still does not remember, but Shinobu points out the stories are too detailed to be lies. Tsuruno suddenly does not remember buying coasters, revealing she may also have amnesia. Yotsugi then shifts the discussion: she reminds Shinobu that she walked in sunlight all day without harm, which should be impossible because Shinobu is actually a vampire. Shinobu’s memories return, and she declares herself the iron‑blooded, hot‑blooded, cold‑blooded vampire king of oddities. Mayoi also gets a headache and remembers she is not human either, and instead she is a snail oddity, a ghost. Yotsugi explains that she has felt uneasy calling herself a magical girl; she suspects this world is not the one she came from, as everything feels slightly different, like two paintings of the same image in different styles. She believes Shinobu, Mayoi, and herself came from another world. They conclude that a Witch may be behind the memory loss and false memories, and decide to hunt Witches the next day. Everyone stays the night at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mayoi plays Old Maid with Tsuruno, Felicia, Yotsugi, and Shinobu. Mayoi wins, but Yotsugi and Shinobu notice she seemed absent-minded. Mayoi asks Yachiyo if she can help with dinner, admitting she always wished she could cook with her mom. Yachiyo agrees and Mayoi joins Iroha and Sana in making dumplings, proving to be a natural. Yotsugi and Shinobu try but fail miserably. Mayoi boasts and declares herself the rightful leader of the little girls, sparking a three-way argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Mayoi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Mayoi Home]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno suggests playing a game to decide the leader, and Felicia wants to join. Shinobu insists Iroha must also participate. They play a life simulation board game. Mayoi starts strong but ends up broke and stranded in the Amazon. Iroha wins, and Mayoi declares her the official leader of the little girls, much to Iroha&#039;s confusion. Mayoi feels this has been the most fun she has had in a while, yet she cannot shake an uneasy feeling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After everyone decides to stay over, Yachiyo announces bath time. Mayoi suddenly bolts out of the house, claiming she will take a walk. Iroha chases after her and finds her safe. Mayoi apologizes and explains that the family moment overwhelmed her heart, so she left to do something familiar to settle herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi revisits her wish: after her parents&#039; divorce, she wished to go home. Being at Mikazuki Villa makes her feel like her wish has finally come true, yet she senses it is not the home she truly wants to return to. She remembers she is a ghost and wonders where exactly it is she wants to go back to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After they lay out futons in the living room, Shinobu reveals she is actually over 500 years old, and Mayoi was in fifth grade when she died, now mentally 21. Yotsugi still does not remember what she is. Felicia cannot sleep and goes outside. She sees a Witch appear suddenly, feels her head go foggy, and collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha again helps with breakfast. She feels a strange déjà vu, as if the same conversation has happened before. Sana again reports Felicia is missing. The group searches the town and again encounters Mayoi and Shinobu fighting a Witch. The same exchanges occur, but Iroha’s déjà vu grows stronger.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When they finally find Felicia, she is with Yotsugi and is annoyed that they took so long to show up. Yotsugi addresses Iroha by name without being introduced. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive. Iroha blurts out that everything feels like it has happened before. Yotsugi then explains: this is the second time they have met like this. Everyone suddenly remembers the previous day’s events of the dinner, the revelations about vampires and ghosts, and the time reset. Yotsugi says she felt the air warp after falling asleep, and when she woke up, she was back where she had been before meeting Felicia. Felicia recalls that before the reset, she saw a Witch outside Mikazuki Villa that made her dizzy and erased her memories. The group deduces that Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they discuss how to fight the Witch, Felicia’s stomach growls. They decide to return to the villa for dinner again, saving the battle for the next day. On the way, they stop at a supermarket for a snack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While walking home, a Witch suddenly appears and pulls Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi into a labyrinth. Felicia recognizes it as the same Witch from the reset. The Witch ignores both Iroha and Felicia, focusing all its attacks on Yotsugi. It dodges Felicia’s hammer and lands a clean hit, cutting Yotsugi’s body into pieces. Iroha and Felicia are horrified. As the Witch prepares to strike again, Yotsugi’s voice tells them to keep pretending to be sad. She instructs them to retreat and gather the pieces of her body. They do so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside the labyrinth, Yotsugi puts herself back together as if nothing happened. She reveals that when she took the hit, she regained her true memories. Back at Mikazuki Villa, she explains to everyone: she is a hundred‑year‑old tsukumogami made from a human body, both a doll oddity and a corpse oddity. She has no heart and has always been dead. This is why the Witch’s power of suggestion, which works by influencing emotions, does not affect her as much. She also notes that the Witch let them escape because it was angry at Yotsugi for helping everyone remember the first loop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yotsugi attacks Shinobu. Shinobu blocks the strike. When asked why, Yotsugi coldly says, “Would you mind dying for me real quick?”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt; Yotsugi’s sudden attack on Shinobu was not betrayal but a calculated shock: she remembered that when the Witch cut her into pieces, the trauma restored her own original memories. She reasons that a sufficiently strong physical blow can break through the memory manipulation. Shinobu’s severed leg instantly regenerates as her vampiric powers return, proving the method works. Without warning, Yotsugi then punches Mayoi, knocking her unconscious. When Mayoi wakes, her memories also return, which is triggered by the keyword “lost.” Mayoi explains that their false magical girl powers and wishes were implanted by the Witch, and that they are not inhabitants of this world. She then proposes a new theory: the Kamihama girls did not lose their memories; rather, they come from different points in their own timeline and simply haven’t experienced the shared past yet. Felicia is devastated, fearing she will never have a family again, but Iroha and the others reassure her that in every timeline they will end up together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part II: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, after everyone has gone to sleep, Shinobu summons Yotsugi and Mayoi outside. She admits she does not fully trust Iroha’s group, as they could be the Witch’s minions or mere plot devices. She reveals there may be another way to return to their original world, but she does not elaborate immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group splits up to hunt the elusive Witch. They repeatedly enter labyrinths of other Witches, wasting time. Felicia grows increasingly frustrated, nearly charging into unrelated fights. Yachiyo observes that the Witch seems to want them to fight, so any peaceful, fun activity risks a reset, which is why the first reset happened after their happy dinner and games. She concludes that the Witch is like a director forcing them to act out a “magical girls fighting” plot. Iroha suggests they deliberately provoke the Witch by acting against that plot, hoping to lure it out. However, Yotsugi warns that straying too far might trigger another reset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo formally presents her three‑point theory: (1) The Witch did not pursue them when they fled, (2) it never removed their magical girl powers, and (3) the resets happen when they relax instead of fight. Everyone agrees the plan is to provoke the Witch into appearing. Shinobu then insists on going sightseeing the next day, arguing that one more reset will weaken the Witch’s power further. Despite concerns about resetting again, Tsuruno enthusiastically supports the idea, and the group reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group spends the morning and afternoon touring Kamihama: the radio tower, the school (which they sneak into), an arcade where Yotsugi plays rhythm games with a completely blank expression, and the shopping mall where Shinobu demands to find a donut shop. Tsuruno saves the family restaurant, Banbanzai, for last. As they approach, Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi sense the Witch charging straight at them. The familiar dizziness overcomes everyone, and the world resets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Several hours after the reset, Yotsugi again restores everyone’s memories, as her immunity to the Witch’s suggestion means she still remembers everything. The group notes that more people felt déjà vu this time, suggesting the Witch is weakening. That night, Shinobu privately tells Yotsugi and Mayoi her true alternative plan: she will kill the Kamihama magical girls and consume their power, believing that enough strength will allow her to tear open a gate back to their world. Yotsugi and Mayoi agree to help, though Mayoi is conflicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the town feels eerily deserted. The Witch’s labyrinth is sparse, with only familiars. Following Shinobu’s earlier secret instruction, the group begins shouting insults at the Witch to provoke it. Suddenly, Shinobu strikes Felicia from behind, seemingly killing her. Yachiyo and Tsuruno are horrified. Shinobu, Yotsugi, and Mayoi reveal their betrayal: they intend to slaughter everyone to gain power for a gate home. A brutal fight erupts. Mayoi uses her ability to redirect Yachiyo’s spear attack, causing it to hit Iroha and Sana, who also fall. Tsuruno is overwhelmed, and Yachiyo is mortally wounded. Shinobu stands alone, gloating, but then the “dead” girls suddenly rise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** It was all an act. The group had secretly planned this staged betrayal during the previous night, communicating via handwritten notes to avoid the Witch overhearing. Sana, who makes picture books, wrote the script. The plan had multiple layers: first, they deliberately triggered a second reset by going sightseeing to weaken the Witch; second, they staged a believable in‑fighting scenario to lure the Witch out, because if all the “actors” disappear, the Witch’s story cannot continue. The Witch falls for the trap and appears, enraged by the deception. A full‑scale battle begins. The group coordinates: Iroha and Sana herd familiars for Yotsugi’s “Unlimited Rulebook”; Yachiyo, Shinobu, and Iroha immobilize the Witch; Tsuruno guides Mayoi’s errant drill attack with her flames, piercing the Witch’s front camera. When that does not destroy the labyrinth, Yachiyo and Shinobu realize the front camera was a decoy: the true weak spot is the film at the back. Felicia, launched by Yotsugi like a bullet, smashes the drill deeper, and Yachiyo and Shinobu destroy the film. The labyrinth dissolves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the world fades to mist, Felicia breaks down crying. She does not want this world to end because at Mikazuki Villa she finally felt like she had a family again, and she fears returning to her own timeline where she will be alone. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Sana hug her, promising that no matter the world or timeline, they will surely live together again. Shinobu, Mayoi, and Yotsugi share an awkward, brief hug, concluding they are not the hugging type. Everyone exchanges farewells. Yotsugi tells Felicia, “I’m glad I met you, Felly.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa, yawning. Felicia teases her for sleeping late. Iroha recalls a long, strange dream, both fun and bittersweet, but the details fade upon waking. She only remembers that it was something really special. The day begins again, as if the adventure had never happened, except for the faint warmth left behind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede dreams of a garden where Momoko and Rena help her harvest fantastical vegetables. When she asks about the cream puff tree, Momoko shows her a basket full. The peace breaks when an apartment complex finishes construction behind them, destroying the garden. Kaede remembers this moment: her father announced a new building would block their sunlight, her mother worried they would lose their garden, and in despair, Kaede wished to stop the construction entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The dream shatters and a shadowy version of Kaede appears, accusing her of always running from difficulty. It reminds her she made her wish without considering the people who would have lived in that building, that she ran from Rena rather than face rejection, that she holds back in marathons and skips hard problems. The shadow urges her to keep running until she finds where she belongs and offers its hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kaede admits everything is true: she is weak and useless. But she insists she wants to stay with Momoko and Rena, the friends who matter to her. She asks her shadow to help her become better little by little. The shadow agrees, promising to watch from the garden of her heart. Kaede wakes at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains Kaede blacked out during a Witch battle. Kaede remembers hesitating to transform, a Familiar catching her off guard, and Rena crying out. When another Familiar attacked Rena, Kaede recalled a time Momoko was hurt because of her mistake. Believing herself useless, her Soul Gem turned pitch black. Now awake and purified, she chooses not to run. She asks to join Momoko and Rena, who went ahead to hunt the Witch. Mitama sends her off, confident she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Holiday Nyaprise!====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede asks Mikazuki Villa to watch a lost kitten while her family is away. After Felicia threatens to withhold bedtime hot cocoa, Yachiyo relents and Sana names the cat Gorojirou, or Sir Purrs-a-little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Holiday Nyaprise!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno visits daily to play, and when Gorojirou needs the restroom, Sana rushes it to the litter box just as Yachiyo calls them for lunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia chases the cat until Sana gives her a toy to lure it instead, and they eventually nap together on the couch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou has grown close to everyone, and Iroha tries taking its picture but accidentally films herself instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha shops, Sana watches the cat and Yachiyo admits she avoided getting attached because Gorojirou is temporary, but resolves to make its stay pleasant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou chews Felicia&#039;s favorite sticker, and though Felicia is angry, Sana reminds her the cat leaves tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede returns for Gorojirou, and everyone says a tearful goodbye. As they leave, the cat meows at Sana, who cries happily saying goodbye to her new best friend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Clash!====&lt;br /&gt;
* A Mirror copy of Shizuku opens a portal and steps through into a city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Magia Clash!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama organizes a magical girl team competition inside the Mirrors labyrinth. Kaede and Iroha greet Nanoha, hoping to talk with her, but Kaede is called away when her match begins. Iroha stays behind and watches with Nanoha instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanoha Takamachi#Side Story|Nanoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hayate, Nanoha, and Fate mistake a Mirror copy&#039;s portal for the warp gate to their tournament and are pulled through before Lindy can stop them. Mitama registers the confused but excited trio for the &amp;quot;First Ultimate Magical Girls Team Battle Mirrors Cup,&amp;quot; and they head to the Standby Zone after learning about the Mirror barrier. Meanwhile, Rena, Momoko, and Kaede struggle against unusually strong Familiars, and when Rena twists her ankle, the Nanoha trio steps in to save them. The groups introduce themselves, with the trio explaining they are from Uminary City while concealing their connection to the Administrative Bureau, and Rena warns them about dangerous Mirror copies that lurk deeper in the barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they observe Team Momoko&#039;s match, Nanoha comments on the fighting styles she sees and notes the variety of magic on display. She explains she was taught magic from an early age and is surprised to learn Iroha and the others gained their powers by making wishes to Kyubey. Iroha describes Kyubey as a white stuffed animal, which reminds Nanoha of her own first teacher, Yuuno. Nanoha shares that she discovered magic in third grade when she heard Yuuno calling for help, and since then she has honed her abilities alongside Fate and Hayate to protect others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks about Nanoha&#039;s device, Raising Heart, and how it can transform. Nanoha explains the device taught her magic step by step and once posed an important question to her: what is the most important thing in a fight? Iroha guesses it is the will to win, but before Nanoha can reveal the true answer, Fate and Hayate return from exploring. Fate requests a sparring match, and Iroha asks to watch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo joins Iroha to observe the fight between Nanoha and Fate. The two exchange blows at maximum speed, with Fate using close-range attacks while Nanoha fights from a distance. The match ends in a tie after a final, explosive clash. Before leaving for a break, Nanoha turns to Iroha and reveals the true answer to Raising Heart&#039;s question: wisdom and tactics. Iroha agrees, especially after witnessing their battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Natsuki is fretting over a lost wallet at the Promise Altar, and Ria offers to help her search since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway. Natsuki apologizes for the trouble, but Ria insists she doesn&#039;t mind and even offers to lend her money. Natsuki refuses the loan but admits she needs money for train fare home. She reluctantly agrees to borrow just enough for the trip and promises to pay Ria back later. Ria asks if Natsuki is sure she doesn&#039;t want to file a report, but Natsuki believes the wallet is simply lost rather than stolen and wants to keep searching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hayate Yagami#Side Story|Hayate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria suggests they retrace Natsuki&#039;s steps and asks where she&#039;s been. Natsuki lists the Promise Altar, the station, the shopping district, and an izakaya where she ate with friends. Ria questions why she went to an izakaya alone, and Natsuki clarifies she was with coworkers. Ria finds it odd that Natsuki was drinking with coworkers and then came to the shrine alone afterwards. Natsuki admits it&#039;s a long story involving a former coworker&#039;s engagement announcement that left her feeling restless. She came to the shrine to think but realized she didn&#039;t have enough money to get home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they search, they run into Masara and Kokoro. Masara bluntly tells Natsuki she probably won&#039;t find it and suggests getting a new student ID. Kokoro gently scolds her for being insensitive and offers to help search. Ria mentions they&#039;ve already looked around the shrine, so Kokoro suggests they expand the search area.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group heads to the shopping district, where they encounter Kanoko. She offers to help search as well, and they all continue looking together. Eventually, Ria asks Natsuki to retrace her exact steps from when she left the izakaya. Natsuki recalls walking to the station, realizing she didn&#039;t want to go home yet, and coming to the shrine. Ria points out that she would have needed her wallet to pay the izakaya bill, so she definitely had it after leaving. Natsuki confirms this and remembers using her train pass at the station before changing her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria concludes the wallet must be somewhere between the station turnstiles and the shrine, but they&#039;ve already searched that route thoroughly. Kanoko suggests Natsuki might have dropped it somewhere else without realizing, like when she pulled out her phone. Natsuki&#039;s eyes light up, and she admits she did take out her phone at the station to check something. She just can&#039;t remember what she did with her wallet after that. Ria proposes they split up to cover more ground, and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Natsuki returns home defeated and exhausted. Her father calls out to her, and when she enters the living room, she finds her wallet sitting on the table. Her mother found it in the shopping district and a kind stranger turned it in. Natsuki&#039;s relief quickly turns to panic when she remembers she borrowed money from Ria, and now she has no way to contact her. She considers calling Kokoro but realizes she doesn&#039;t have her number either. She decides to go back to the Promise Altar the next day to hopefully find Ria there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Natsuki returns to the Promise Altar and is relieved to spot Ria. She excitedly explains that her wallet was found and immediately tries to repay the loan. Ria accepts the money but notices Natsuki seems troubled about something else. Natsuki admits she&#039;s been thinking about her former coworker&#039;s engagement and how she handled the situation. Ria offers to listen if Natsuki wants to talk, but Natsuki says she&#039;d rather not burden her further. Ria insists it&#039;s no trouble since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki explains that her former coworker Yukari got engaged and announced it at a gathering. Natsuki congratulated her happily, but another coworker named Ootori made some passive-aggressive comments about how Yukari managed to find someone before her. Later, Ootori apologized to Natsuki for her behavior, but Natsuki feels she should have defended Yukari in the moment. She feels guilty for not speaking up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria asks why she feels responsible for defending Yukari. Natsuki admits it&#039;s because Yukari was always kind to her when she first started the job, and she feels she failed to repay that kindness. Ria points out that Natsuki did congratulate Yukari sincerely, and that was probably what mattered most to her in that moment. Natsuki realizes Ria is right and thanks her for the perspective.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just then, Kanagi arrives, and Ria prepares to leave. Before going, she offers Natsuki her contact information so she can reach out if she ever needs to talk again. Natsuki gratefully accepts, and the two part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During a break in the Mirrors tournament, Fate, Nanoha, and Hayate encounter a copy of Fate that proves too powerful for them to handle alone. Felicia, Kako, and Ayame appear to help, and together they defeat the copy. When Felicia asks what they&#039;re doing there, Fate admits they got lost. The Kamihama girls learn the trio is from out of town and younger than them, but they quickly become friends and head back to the standby zone together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Fate T. Harlaown#Side Story|Fate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group somehow gets roped into a dodgeball game, with teams forming spontaneously among the tournament participants. Fate proves to be exceptionally athletic, leading her team through multiple rounds against increasingly competitive opponents. After defeating Momoko&#039;s team, they face a martial arts team featuring Akira, Meiyui, and Asuka, which Fate also wins. Tsuruno, refusing to let age be a barrier, recruits Masara and Natsuki for a final match against Fate&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match comes down to a intense showdown between Fate and Tsuruno, both catching and returning each other&#039;s throws with increasing speed and power. Fate ultimately outmaneuvers Tsuruno by throwing to Nanoha and leaping into the air for the winning strike. Everyone celebrates the friendly tournament and the new friendships formed across different cities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the tournament progresses, Team Nanoha easily advances through early rounds with Fate&#039;s incredible speed, though Momoko notices Hayate and Nanoha have yet to reveal their full power. Elsewhere, Mitama learns that Momoko announced her team would break up if they lost not because Kaede is useless but to show their conviction, though both Kaede and Rena had doubts. The tournament continues until four teams remain, with Team Momoko advancing to the finals through clever strategy and Team Nanoha defeating Team Masara to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match begins with Fate and Rena clashing in a battle of speed that seemingly knocks both out, leaving Nanoha and Hayate to face Momoko and Kaede. Hayate fuses with Reinforce Zwei and unleashes Ragnarok to take out Kaede, then joins Nanoha against Momoko, who withstands Nanoha&#039;s Starlight Breaker as both girls stand exhausted. Before a winner can be decided, Lindy contacts Nanoha with an emergency: a fugitive illegally opened a rift between worlds, and the Mirror copy of Shizuku appears nearby, having used her powers to connect the Mirror labyrinth to Uminary City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The copy stole the tournament&#039;s grand prize, a special orb that exponentially increases magical power, and the girls call off the match to track her down. Team Nanoha and Team Momoko catch the copy, but after they defeat her, copies of Hayate, Fate, and Nanoha appear and swallow the broken orb pieces, gaining immense power. All the Magical Girls unite to take down the powered-up copies, and through combined efforts they finally delete the magical signatures. With the tunnel between worlds about to collapse, Mitama declares both teams winners, and the girls exchange heartfelt goodbyes before the Nanoha trio returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day in Kamihama, Kaede realizes her texts to Hayate no longer go through, Momoko cannot reach Nanoha or Fate, and Rena cannot find Uminary City on any map. Mitama and Shizuku conclude the girls must have come from a different world entirely, since they needed a space tunnel to travel rather than a simple train ride. Though Kaede is sad they may never meet again, Rena is grateful for the friendship they formed, and the three resolve to work hard for a future rematch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Asuka finds herself in a cloud-filled void facing a shadowy version of herself who claims to be the hidden part of Asuka&#039;s heart. The shadow declares Asuka is no longer fit to practice Ryushin-ryu because her blade has been sullied by contracting as a Magical Girl. When Asuka protests, the shadow recounts how Asuka wished for her cousin to become a police officer after his dreams were jeopardized by their uncle&#039;s arrest, arguing that twisting fate with magic was selfish and wrong. The shadow insists that with her heart no longer true, Asuka walks a false path and should abandon her school, urging her to die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her despair, Asuka remembers her father&#039;s words about asking her own heart what is right, like water filling a square bowl. She tells the shadow that perceptions of right and wrong can change with the situation, and though she cannot refute the shadow&#039;s claims, she knows her heart believed her actions were just. Believing words alone cannot reach the shadow, Asuka challenges her to a fight to prove her blade&#039;s strength reflects her sincere heart. The shadow warns that slaying her means slaying herself, but Asuka declares she fears being untrue to herself more than death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their swords clash, and after a long battle, the shadow succumbs to Asuka&#039;s attack and acknowledges her blade was as pure as her heart. The shadow warns she may return in a different form if Asuka&#039;s heart becomes stained again, then vanishes. Asuka awakens near a pond deep in the forest, where she had gone to meditate as part of her training. She remembers the shadow&#039;s promise and considers asking Mitama what it all meant, but feels her father&#039;s words have been engraved in her more deeply now. With her resolve unwavering, she runs back to the dojo, taking a straight path out of the woods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka awakens to find herself in a strange, cloud-filled void. A shadowy copy of herself appears, introducing itself as the part of her she has suppressed deep within her heart. The shadow urges Nanaka to end her pursuit of vengeance, calling it a fruitless endeavor that changes nothing. Nanaka refuses, explaining that the act of revenge itself holds meaning for her, not the result. The shadow questions where vengeance has led her: a life of constant danger in an endless struggle against Witches. Nanaka admits there is nothing to gain from her actions, but her conviction remains unshakable. The shadow then accuses Nanaka of dragging Akira, Kako, and Meiyui into her vengeance, using them to fulfill her goals. Nanaka acknowledges this truth but insists she would never throw their lives away. She believes fate brought them together to fight a common enemy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka recalls the moments before she lost consciousness. Her team had cornered a Witch, but it disappeared and reappeared near a weakened Kako. Nanaka leaped in to shield her, and Akira and Meiyui joined the fight. The shadow suggests Nanaka protected Kako to redeem herself, but Nanaka denies this. The shadow warns it will continue watching from the depths of her heart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka awakens to find her teammates standing over her, relieved she is alive. The Witch is defeated. Nanaka tells Kako not to worry about anything, as they are teammates. Meiyui finds her choice of words unusual, but Akira insists Nanaka see Mitama for a checkup. Kako thanks Nanaka for protecting her. Nanaka smiles, thinking to herself that each of them is their own flower, supporting one another through their shared fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis====&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha announces that a cafe Yachiyo frequents has opened a new location near Mikazuki Villa, and the group decides to visit on opening day. They arrive to find it is actually a Curry House CoCo Ichibanya, and Yachiyo passionately explains the menu options as they wait for the store to open.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the store opens early, the employee announces they cannot open today due to a missing delivery truck carrying ingredients. The employee breaks down in tears, explaining her family came to see her first store opening. The group notices magical energy emanating from the store and decides to help find the truck, promising to return for curry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They investigate at the last store the truck visited. The employee there confirms the truck is missing but provides spare ingredients and explains that stores support each other in times of trouble. The group splits into two teams: one to gather ingredients from other stores, and one to trace the truck&#039;s route. During coordination, they learn a second CoCoIchi truck has also gone missing on the same road.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While gathering ingredients, Tsuruno&#039;s group encounters a lost, hungry girl who flees upon hearing CoCoIchi and nearly crashes into Sana. Afterward, Sana realizes the employee at the new store could see her despite her invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s group follows the road where both trucks disappeared and finds a Witch&#039;s barrier. Inside, they find both trucks and their drivers. Iroha and Ui engage the Witch&#039;s familiars while Yachiyo secures the drivers. Iroha realizes the Witch is targeting the cargo, so she throws curry ingredients at it, causing the Witch to abandon the fight and allowing them to defeat it easily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno calls with urgent news that the store employee is a Magical Girl, her missing little sister is also a Magical Girl, and she has not been able to contact her since yesterday. The group fears the curry-loving Witch they just defeated was the sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the new store, where the employee is preparing their reward curry. Before Iroha can confess, a girl rushes in calling for her sister. It is the employee&#039;s little sister, alive and well. The group realizes the Witch was simply a curry-loving Witch unrelated to the sister. They finally sit down to enjoy the promised curry together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui====&lt;br /&gt;
* Meiyui&#039;s family is helping organize a local event when a stranger stabs one of their members and flees, dropping a badge. Meiyui chooses to tend to the victim rather than give chase, despite his protests that she is being too soft.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many in the organization want revenge, but Meiyui refuses, not wanting to return to their old ways as an evil organization. The members are reluctant to involve the police due to being falsely accused of murder three years prior. Meiyui had contracted with Kyubey back then to expose the truth with her wish, but lingering distrust remains.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui goes alone to track the culprit. The dropped badge leads her to an abandoned company tied to illegal labor her family had helped shut down. After defeating a stray Witch, she is ambushed and kidnapped by a man with a taser.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She wakes handcuffed alongside about ten others. The kidnappers reveal the badge was a trap to lure her. They include a former police officer who had fabricated evidence against her family and associates of the real murderer from that case, all blaming the Blue Seas for ruining their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her Soul Gem is heavily tainted from the Witch fight, and she begins hearing her Doppel&#039;s voice. In a cloudy void, her shadow self insists she should have killed these enemies when she had the chance, arguing her organization cannot survive without dirtying their hands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Meiyui struggles to stay conscious, she uses her last energy to beg the culprits to leave her family alone, insisting they are not a bad group. The stabber dismisses her pleas and suggests killing her as a warning instead. Her Doppel mocks her, saying evil people will always exist no matter how sincerely she tries to live righteously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, her organization members arrive to rescue her. The stabbed victim is among them, now grateful Meiyui had stayed to help him instead of chasing revenge. He admits he used to believe abandoning burdens was the way of the world, but facing death alone showed him he was wrong. He is alive because of Meiyui&#039;s strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hearing this, Meiyui&#039;s mind clears. In the void, her Doppel asks if she is ready to kill them, but Meiyui rejects violence entirely. The Doppel submits, allowing her to put everyone in the area to sleep without bloodshed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The police soon arrive after the kidnapper, persuaded by Meiyui, confesses over the phone. They find several family members asleep everywhere and note a look of complete relief on Meiyui&#039;s sleeping face.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Little Bird&#039;s Star====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe and other Black Feathers are in Fendt Hope, commiserating about their weakness. A White Feather had to bail them out after they were followed by a Witch while delivering a parcel from Mitama&#039;s shop. They discuss Yachiyo Nanami, a veteran Magical Girl who destroys Uwasas.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu and Nemu emerge from a room arguing. Nemu dismisses Mifuyu and approaches the Black Feathers with a request. She asks them to investigate the &amp;quot;Uwasa of the Jealous Coward,&amp;quot; also called the &amp;quot;Green-Eyed Coward.&amp;quot; Kuroe hesitates but agrees when Nemu insists she has the aptitude.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group investigates an area with many students but cannot find the Uwasa. The other Black Feathers leave for personal commitments. Kuroe stays, feeling she has nothing to return to. The Uwasa manifests when Kuroe expresses envy toward the other girls&#039; normal lives. Two Black Feathers are knocked unconscious. Nemu is satisfied with the results and tasks Kuroe with investigating more Uwasas starting tomorrow. Kuroe protests but Nemu leaves before she can refuse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Memoria 1743.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The Amane twins, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo, meet Kuroe at Fendt Hope and they begin investigating Uwasas in Sakae Ward but find nothing. They move to Hokuyo Ward. Kuroe notices a missing cat poster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They sense Yachiyo&#039;s group nearby and flee. Yachiyo and Iroha corner Kuroe. The twins escape. Yachiyo interrogates Kuroe. An Uwasa resembling Kuroe appears and attacks, then disappears. Yachiyo accuses Kuroe of controlling it. Kuroe insists she had no knowledge of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo decides to take Kuroe camping to monitor her. At the campground, the Amane twins briefly contact Kuroe and say they will consult Nemu, so Kuroe resolves to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe helps Iroha gather firewood. Iroha is scared by a caterpillar and Kuroe removes it. Kuroe introduces herself by name. She helps the group set up their tent and prepare lunch, using skills learned from Wings of Magius training. She reminds herself not to get drawn into their warm atmosphere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mentions a waterfall power spot. Kuroe offers to get water. Iroha accompanies her. They get lost. A woman helps Kuroe find the waterfall and gives her an empty bottle. The woman explains the place is her personal power spot for resetting her mind. Kuroe wishes she had strength to face the future. The Uwasa appears and attacks the woman. Iroha arrives and finds the woman unconscious. Kuroe begs Iroha for help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe carries the unconscious woman back to the campsite. The Amane twins inform her that Nemu says she is possessed by the Uwasa and should stay with Yachiyo&#039;s group. Yachiyo warns that if more casualties occur, she will destroy the Uwasa. Iroha suggests keeping Kuroe for observation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group participates in a stamp rally and Iroha and Kuroe pair up. They discover they are both from Takarazaki. Iroha explains she moved to Kamihama to find her missing sister. Suddenly, a Witch appears and Kuroe and Iroha fight it together. Kuroe acts as a decoy while Iroha defeats the Witch. Kuroe feels inadequate compared to Iroha&#039;s courage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe asks for time alone and she reflects on her fears and envy. The Uwasa appears again, resembling Kuroe. The group fights it and Iroha urges Kuroe to destroy the Uwasa. Kuroe admits she is afraid she cannot be herself, so she and Iroha destroy the Uwasa together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amane twins inform Kuroe they must report the Uwasa&#039;s destruction, yet Kuroe does not regret it. Iroha asks to talk with Kuroe and Yachiyo offers them tea. Kuroe admits she feels safe with the Wings of Magius because they represent hope for her. Iroha accepts this and Kuroe tells Iroha she wants to be like her someday. They part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe finds the missing cat and returns it to its owner, who is overjoyed. Kuroe realizes she saved someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe reports to Nemu and Mifuyu. Nemu reveals the Uwasa summons itself based on dissatisfaction and envy. Nemu admits she expected Yachiyo&#039;s group to handle an accident with the Uwasa. However, Nemu is satisfied that she now has more research on fusing Uwasa with Magical Girls, however Mifuyu warns Nemu not to experiment on the Feathers. Kuroe realizes that even the Magius are imperfect and she reflects on her long day. She resolves to do her best, one step at a time, and hopes to see Iroha again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 7th==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia and Sana decide to buy matching coasters as a gift for Yachiyo, to show their appreciation, and after some searching, they find a suitable set.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: Memories That Reveal the Truth]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 8th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the plan to present the gift is interrupted when Mifuyu Azusa arrives at the villa before Yachiyo returns home. The girls&#039; plan was for Iroha to wait inside while the others came from outside to surprise Yachiyo. Mifuyu prepares tea and reveals one of the two mugs on the top shelf, which Yachiyo forbade Iroha from using, belongs to her. Mifuyu invites Iroha to a lecture hosted by the Wings of the Magius to explain their goal of &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls. The lecture is scheduled for two days later at the Memory Museum and Iroha agrees to investigate the Rumor about the museum first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo returns home and is visibly distressed to find Mifuyu there. Mifuyu leaves, asking Iroha to inform the others about the lecture. Before finally leaving, Mifuyu returns to speak to Yachiyo privately. She references a &amp;quot;promise&amp;quot; they made a year ago, and accuses Yachiyo of returning to her old ways. Yachiyo insists her relationship with Iroha and the others is &amp;quot;just cooperating.&amp;quot; Yachiyo retreats to her room without receiving the coasters. That night, Yachiyo reflects on her past, resolving to return to the person she once was.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 9th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the lecture, Iroha is unable to give Yachiyo the coasters due to Yachiyo&#039;s low spirits. Iroha discusses her plan to attend the Wings of the Magius lecture with Madoka Kaname via text. Iroha then attempts to investigate the Rumor of the Memory Museum. Yachiyo claims no knowledge of it and leaves for school. Iroha and Momoko ask Mitama, who refuses to share information to maintain her neutrality. After the visit, Mitama has a separate conversation with Momoko about Momoko&#039;s own secret, advising her to tell her friends the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede and Rena help Iroha by summoning the creature that recites the Rumor of the Memory Museum, which allows people to view researched memories. Tsuruno&#039;s father provides the location of the similar-sounding &amp;quot;Kamihama Memorial Museum.&amp;quot; That evening, Yachiyo refuses to join the investigation, reiterating that her relationship with the others is strictly professional, which saddens Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Saturday, the 10th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the lecture, Yachiyo again refuses to go to the museum and Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana go to the Kamihama Memorial Museum without her. There, they are greeted by Touka Satomi, who reveals herself as one of the three Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently at Mikazuki, Yachiyo, haunted by memories of past friends, decides she must investigate the Memory Museum herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Touka throne 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka Satomi gives them a lecture titled &amp;quot;The Truth Behind Magical Girls.&amp;quot; She presents three key items through illustrative stories:&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 1: Soul Gems. A story reveals that a Soul Gem is a Magical Girl&#039;s actual soul. Using magic consumes this life force, and if the gem shatters, the Magical Girl dies. Touka uses an analogy of an internal vs. external battery to explain Soul Gems and Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 2: Witches. A second story demonstrates that when a Magical Girl&#039;s Soul Gem becomes fully corrupted, she transforms into a Witch. This revelation traumatizes Felicia, who realizes the Witches she has been killing were once Magical Girls and that she herself is destined to become one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 3: Doppels. A third story explains that in Kamihama City, a fully corrupted Soul Gem can manifest a &amp;quot;Doppel&amp;quot; instead of a Witch. The Wings of the Magius present this as the key to &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls from their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* To prove their claims, Touka and Mifuyu Azusa activate the Memory Museum&#039;s Rumor. Mifuyu presents a book containing her own memories, inviting the group to witness the truth of the lecture firsthand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo arrives at the museum and confronts Touka. She is shown into the memory dimension where Iroha and the others are and Mifuyu activates the Rumor, forcing the group to relive her memories. The memories depict Yachiyo&#039;s former team, Mikazuki Villa:&lt;br /&gt;
** The first memory shows Kanae Yukino sacrificing herself to reveal a Witch&#039;s weakness. Her uninjured body is found next to her shattered Soul Gem, proving the Soul Gem is the Magical Girl&#039;s life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second memory shows Mel Anna using too much magic to protect Yachiyo. With no Grief Seed to purify her fully corrupted Soul Gem, Mel transforms into a Witch before the team&#039;s eyes, confirming Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The third memory shows Mifuyu&#039;s despair six months after Mel&#039;s death, causing her Soul Gem to corrupt fully. Instead of becoming a Witch, she manifests a Doppel. Touka then appears and recruits her into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno is consumed by guilt over Mel&#039;s death, believing her absence that day was the cause. Felicia is horrified, realizing the Witches she killed were Magical Girls and Sana is terrified but feels powerless to change the system. Touka and Mifuyu use this emotional vulnerability to press their recruitment offers to each girl, promising a world where these tragedies are impossible and even suggesting Sana could be freed from her wish of invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo reject the offer to join and Yachiyo compares the Magius&#039; methods to Kyubey&#039;s, accusing them of exploiting weaknesses. Yachiyo then announces she is disbanding their team, which Iroha protests, but Yachiyo insists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka reveals that Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana have been brainwashed and now serve the Wings of the Magius. Alina Gray arrives and traps Iroha and Yachiyo within her Labyrinth and leaves them to face a Witch. As they fight the Witch, Yachiyo reiterates her decision to disband the team and work alone. She reveals her wish was &amp;quot;I want to survive,&amp;quot; and explains that she interprets this as a curse: the power to survive by sacrificing her teammates, based on the last words of her former comrades, Kanae and Mel, who both died while she lived. Yachiyo believes that to protect Iroha, she must sever their partnership.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha rejects Yachiyo&#039;s conclusion. She declares she will defeat the Uwasa alone to prove Yachiyo&#039;s &amp;quot;curse&amp;quot; is not real and that she can protect Yachiyo. Iroha states she is angry that Yachiyo made this decision for everyone and vows to rescue their brainwashed friends. She defeats the Witch and rejects Yachiyo&#039;s belief in a cursed wish and declares herself the new leader to nullify its perceived effect. Yachiyo relents and agrees to work with Iroha to save their friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the same time, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, having detected Mami&#039;s magic while investigating Kamihama, investigate the closed Kamihama Recording Museum. They are attacked by the Wings of the Magius. While Madoka and Homura hold them off, Sayaka proceeds and witnesses Mami, transformed into &amp;quot;Holy Mami,&amp;quot; attacking Iroha and Yachiyo. It is here that Sayaka learns the horrific truth that Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: A Stand-Off With Fate]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, now a brainwashed member of the Wings of the Magius, confronts them. As Iroha and Yachiyo are too injured to fight, Sayaka Miki arrives and intervenes. Sayaka uses a bomb from Homura to create a diversion, allowing the three to escape.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After their escape, Sayaka gives Iroha a Grief Seed. Iroha explains the truth about Witches and the Wings of the Magius to Sayaka, who is horrified. Sayaka leaves to process this information and Iroha and Yachiyo walk home in silence to reflect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After fleeing the museum, Sayaka reunites with Madoka and Homura, defeats their pursuers in a distraught state, and explains what happened to Mami to them, as well as the truth about becoming Witches.The group returns to Mitakihara in silence but Madoka resolves to find a way to avoid their fate and to save Mami. Sayaka agrees to fight back as well and later decides to meet with Kyoko Sakura.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, at Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo reaffirm their commitment to save their friends and Momoko arrives, having told the secret of Magical Girls to Rena and Kaede. Yachiyo also apologizes for her actions and explains her fears about her wish. Momoko forgives her and reaffirms their friendship. Iroha then receives a text from Madoka, who promises to come to Kamihama to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Sayaka meets Kyoko and reveals the truth about Witches. Kyoko deduces this is what the Wings of the Magius meant by &amp;quot;saving&amp;quot; Magical Girls. Kyoko declares she will find a way to avoid becoming a Witch and confront the Wings of the Magius alone, rejecting Sayaka&#039;s offer of help. Despite Sayaka&#039;s protests, Kyoko leaves to operate solo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Likely during this time, Yachiyo pulls out a box containing what her former friends Kanae Yukino and Mel Anna left behind. She has never opened it since filling it and spends the entire day staring at it, unable to lift the lid. When Iroha arrives and asks about it, Yachiyo explains and admits she is trying to work through her feelings. Iroha offers to help, but Yachiyo deflects, reminding her they were supposed to visit Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls visit Mitama Yakumo and present Grief Seeds as payment for adjustment. Mitama is surprised by the offering and promises to do her best, but she expresses concern about Yachiyo&#039;s emotional state. She suggests Yachiyo clear up her issues with the box before moving forward and offers to adjust both girls at once as a special exception.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Mitama works on her, Yachiyo finds herself in a gray room confronted by a shadowy doppelganger. The shadow accuses her of being afraid of the future and clinging to the past. When Yachiyo refuses to give in to despair, the shadow transforms into her doppel, but she stands firm, accepting her fear while choosing to move forward. Iroha appears beside her, and together they bid farewell to visions of Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo awakens and realizes Mitama adjusted them together intentionally, trusting Iroha could help her if needed. She thanks Mitama for looking out for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at her house, Yachiyo finally opens the box with Iroha beside her. Inside, Kanae left a book of lyrics about becoming a circle with others, and Mel left fortune telling impressions predicting a future where many magical girls would gather in Kamihama. Yachiyo cries as she reads their words. Iroha suggests they head toward that gentle future together. Yachiyo agrees but says first they need to get back their own three points: Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha resolves to find her lost friends and mentally tells Ui to wait a bit longer. Iroha and Yachiyo finish cleaning their house. Iroha resolves to give the coasters she and the others bought for Yachiyo when everyone is reunited. Iroha says she sent a message to Madoka in Mitakihara City, but hasn&#039;t gotten a response.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 7: Awakening to Paradise]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Immediately after Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana are taken, Mifuyu reports to Touka and Alina that the brainwashing on the three is holding, so Touka selects Tsuruno for a mission, which Alina states will involve &amp;quot;mass murder.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in her room, Iroha thinks back to when she celebrated Christmas with her friends, but resolves to keep going with her mission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sunday, the 11th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo investigate the Kamihama Rumor Files at Mikazuki Villa. Iroha recognizes some of the Rumors. They meet with Momoko, who mentions Tsuruno&#039;s perfect school attendance record is now broken and that a new amusement park is also opening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo visit Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant and her father reveals Tsuruno and Felicia visited once. Tsuruno told him she found a place where she feels safe and would not return and he notes her expression was blank, similar to how she looked a year ago after Mel&#039;s death. Afterwards, a White Feather ambushes Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will be used for a mission like Tsuruno, and the two fight off the attacker.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Monday, the 12th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo devise a plan to destroy Rumors across Kamihama to lure out the Wings of the Magius and locate their base. They share this plan with Momoko, who offers to help by getting Grief Seeds for them while they hunt. Momoko then goes to check on Kaede, who is hiding in her room. She hugs Kaede and tells her she and Rena will always be there to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo systematically hunt Rumors like the &amp;quot;Historical Battle Marker,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Castle Town Illusion,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Headless Biker Gang,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Puzzle Tiles Lock,&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;Fashion Monster.&amp;quot; They also interrogate captured Feathers, but none reveal information about Tsuruno, Felicia, or Sana&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Momoko investigates a rapidly spreading rumor about a new amusement park. She notes it originated in the east and spread west through Sakae, Mizuna, and Shinsei Wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha and Yachiyo analyze the Kamihama Rumor Files, marking all known Rumor locations on a map. They identify a pattern: Rumors cluster more densely in Shinsei Ward, with a notable concentration around Satomi Medical Center, the hospital where Ui was supposedly treated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They travel to the hospital area and are ambushed by Feathers. Felicia and Sana, who had broken free of the brainwashing, arrive and help fight off the attackers. The four Magical Girls reunite and Felicia and Sana reveal they pretended to be brainwashed to gather information. Momoko confirms the amusement park rumor spread from east to west and will open at dawn in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Sana explain to Yachiyo and Iroha that Mifuyu used her illusion magic to break their brainwashing. Mifuyu revealed the Magius are protecting and strengthening Witches for their liberation plan and are planning to use the brainwashed Magical Girls to cross a dangerous line. Mifuyu attempted to free Tsuruno but failed, as Tsuruno&#039;s reason for being brainwashed was different. Mifuyu then helped Felicia and Sana escape but chose to remain behind, stating they would be enemies next time they meet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko arrives and shares her investigation into a new Rumor about an amusement park opening at dawn in two days. She confirms it spread from the east, and the group overlays the Rumor locations on a map and identifies a pattern suggesting a source or &amp;quot;eye of the storm&amp;quot; in the eastern wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kanagi screenshot.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo decides to contact Kanagi Izumi, the powerful Magical Girl who controls the eastern Daito and Kosho Wards and is a former rival of hers. Kanagi agrees to an alliance, and during their call, Tsukasa of the Wings of the Magius arrives at Kanagi&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tuesday, the 13th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The morning, Felicia and Sana try to accompany Iroha and Yachiyo but are told to rest due to their collapse the previous night. Iroha and Yachiyo leave them behind. Meanwhile in Kosho Ward, Iroha, Yachiyo, Momoko, and Kanagi meet and Kanagi agrees to ally with them against the Wings of the Magius. They combine their Rumor data on a map, which reveals a circular pattern with a vacant center in Kosho Ward and Kanagi identifies the old railway yard as the likely location of the Wings&#039; base.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After learning the truth about Witches, Madoka questions Kyubey about a way to avoid becoming a Witch. Kyubey states he knows of no method and reveals he cannot enter Kamihama City himself. He proposes an alliance to investigate the Wings of the Magius but Madoka refuses to promise cooperation. She resolves to return to Kamihama with her friends, but then a Witch from Kamihama appears in Mitakihara.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 7: Eve of the Awakening]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura defeat the Kamihama Witch. They share Grief Seeds and note the alarming appearance of foreign Witches in their city. The trio resolves to go to Kamihama the next day to find answers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Around this time, Kyoko successfully infiltrates the Wings of the Magius. She is assigned to a team tasked with dealing with a group that erases Rumors, which she suspects is Iroha&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s group travels to the railway yard but finds it empty. They are ambushed by Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who summon Witches and during the battle, Kanagi uses her unique power to read Iroha&#039;s true intentions and confirms her sincerity. Kanagi then joins the fight and helps defeat the Amane sisters and their Black Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi uses her power on the defeated Amane sisters to read their minds and she learns that Tsuruno is still completely brainwashed and has become part of an Uwasa to protect it. She also learns Tsuruno&#039;s location is at the Ferris Wheel Field in Daito Ward and the group prepares to move out immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Sana and Felicia wait anxiously and Yachiyo calls them with an update.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Rena visits Kaede at her house, and after an argument involving slapping and pinching, Kaede reconciles with Rena and agrees to return to school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team arrives in Daito Ward, where Yachiyo and Iroha plan to enter the &amp;quot;amusement park&amp;quot; Rumor to save Tsuruno, while Felicia, Sana, Momoko, and Kanagi hold off the Wings of the Magius. The group locates the Rumor&#039;s entrance and Kanagi and Momoko stay behind to fight the Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo proceed and confront Alina, Touka, and Mifuyu, where Alina declares her intent to erase them. During the battle, Mifuyu secretly tells Yachiyo that destroying the main Uwasa will kill Tsuruno, and that they must instead tear the Uwasa from her by connecting with her heart. Mifuyu also reveals Tsuruno is in a Ferris wheel car.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101705 uwasatsuruno.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo enter the Rumor, &amp;quot;Chelation Land,&amp;quot; which induces a hazy, thoughtless state. They find Tsuruno, who has fully merged with the Uwasa and acts as the park&#039;s host. Tsuruno tries to force them to relax and stay, serving them hotpot in mugs reminiscent of Mikazuki Villa, but they refuse and attempt to reason with Tsuruno, and she attacks them. Following Mifuyu&#039;s advice, they combine their magic to tear the Uwasa from Tsuruno in one powerful strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nemu02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After Tsuruno is freed from the Uwasa, Yachiyo realizes that Tsuruno&#039;s cheerful demeanor was a facade to hide her pain and guilt over past events, including the death of Mel. The team defeats the main Uwasa of Chelation Land and the Magius, Touka, Nemu Hiiragi, and Alina, confront the group. Nemu reveals she is the &amp;quot;Creator&amp;quot; of all the Rumors in Kamihama and the Magius explain their goal: to use the energy generated by Rumors and Witches to hatch &amp;quot;Embryo Eve,&amp;quot; a being that will liberate all Magical Girls worldwide from the fate of becoming Witches. They state the phenomenon requires the presence of all three Magius and a massive energy source, for which they have used the people of Kamihama and the teams part ways in opposition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 14th==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101701 coaster02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, at Mikazuki Villa, the team summarizes the Magius&#039; plan and that Kamihama is an incubator for Embryo Eve. They resolve to stop the Magius due to the plan&#039;s high human cost and the group gives Yachiyo the set of sakura blossom-themed coasters as a symbol of their team unity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka are separately attacked by multiple Kamihama Witches in Mitakihara before reuniting. They realize the Witch incursion is a coordinated attack meant to prevent them from leaving Mitakihara. Their magic and Grief Seed reserves are heavily depleted in the constant battles.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the ongoing Witch attacks, the trio is overwhelmed by a powerful Witch and is forced to retreat. Sayaka breaks down, admitting her terror of becoming a Witch and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka share their fears and resolve to face the threat together. They are observed by Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, who imply the attack is part of their plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Fendt Hope, Kyoko, having gained the trust of her unit, is taken on a tour of the Wings of the Magius headquarters by her White Feather superior.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, the three defeat the Feathers sent to observe them, and after interrogating them, they receive a message from Iroha about how to save Mami. Holy Mami arrives to Mitakihara and reveals she brought the Witches to Mitakihara to keep the three of them &amp;quot;safe,&amp;quot; and insists the Magius will save them. Alina Gray also appears and traps Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka in a Barrier, which Mami seals with her ribbons.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her infiltration, Kyoko is taken to Hotel Fenthope by Mifuyu Azusa. She confronts Holy Mami, accusing her of not being the real Mami Tomoe. Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi arrive and reinforce the Rumor brainwashing on Mami. Mifuyu secretly escorts Kyoko away and reveals the Magius&#039; plans: they are using a mysterious entity called &amp;quot;Eve&amp;quot; to liberate Magical Girls and are deliberately bringing Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama to hatch it. Horrified, Kyoko rejects the Magius and is led out of the city by Mifuyu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Once More From Here]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko arrives in Mitakihara and frees Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka from Alina&#039;s Barrier. She explains the Magius&#039; plan to bring Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama and Homura urges the group to stay in Mitakihara for safety. Kyoko departs alone, later resolving to return and crush the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Iroha has a sudden memory flashback to the hospital, triggered by the word &amp;quot;sakura.&amp;quot; She remembers a story she, Ui, Touka, and Nemu created about the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot; She deduces this Rumor is real and located at the hospital, and that all the Rumors were created there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Touka and Nemu observe that Embryo Eve has reached a critical state and they confirm that a legendary, cross-dimensional event they foresaw: the arrival of Walpurgisnacht, will provide the final, massive energy surge needed to hatch Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo calls a meeting with the Mikazuki Villa household, Tsuruno, and the Momoko trio to share her concern that rumors persist even after they defeat the Uwasa themselves. The group splits up to investigate whether the original Uwasa have truly vanished or transformed into something new.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Hereafter]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko, Kaede, and Rena investigate the Breakup Staircase and find only scattered internet gossip remains. During their search, lingering tensions surface over Rena&#039;s painful memories of when Kaede was kidnapped by that Uwasa, but the trio ultimately reconciles and continues working together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno visit Mizuna Shrine, where the Séance Shrine Uwasa has transformed into a popular spot for relationship prayers with new mascots. They encounter a grieving girl who comes daily to pray for her deceased friend, and Yachiyo is reminded of her own departed companions Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Felicia track down the man behind the revived Misery Water rumor, who confesses he was scammed into buying the water and cannot bring himself to deceive others. Felicia helps him find honest work, and the rumors die out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana investigates an online forum where troubled users make veiled threats, but the rumor fades without incident. Tsuruno and Iroha check Chelation Land, where Tsuruno reflects on her past brainwashing and muses about whether some Uwasa exist independently of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The groups reconvene and report that all investigated rumors have left minimal traces. Yachiyo concludes their investigation of the Uwasa is complete, and only the Wings of Magius themselves remain to be confronted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voices from Beyond, Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the afterlife, Mel Anna meets Kanae Yukino, another Magical Girl ghost who also died fighting a Witch. Mel is thrilled to discover they were both on a team with Yachiyo Nanami and calls Kanae her senpai. Kanae takes Mel to a ghost cafe where deceased Magical Girls gather, explaining they cannot interact with the living world except through psychics.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Voices From Beyond]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they wander Kamihama, Mel notices Witch numbers rising dramatically and worries about Yachiyo. They follow Yachiyo and are relieved to find she has new companions in Iroha Tamaki and others, though they remain concerned about their former teammate Mifuyu&#039;s absence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, they watch helplessly as Yachiyo battles the Wings of Magius and eventually enters the Memory Museum, where she relives the trauma of losing Mel and Kanae. When Yachiyo dissolves her team afterward, convinced her magic causes others to die for her, the ghosts desperately try to reach her. Kanae notices Yachiyo kept their mementos: Mel&#039;s fortune log and Kanae&#039;s notebook. They focus their thoughts on these items, and that night, Yachiyo discovers their messages—Kanae&#039;s lyrics about forming a circle and Mel&#039;s fortune predicting the current events. Grateful, she resolves to move forward. Their successful contact gets their ghost licenses suspended, and they watch Yachiyo&#039;s dream of their encounter before fading.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 15th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius initiate a city-wide offensive, unleashing powerful Witches and sending brainwashed Black and White Feathers to indiscriminately attack other Magical Girls. Mami delivers a declaration of war to Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will no longer delay their plan for &amp;quot;freedom.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Kamihama, Painted in Fiction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magical Girls of Kamihama form a coordinated response and Yachiyo&#039;s team devises a strategy: first, eliminate the unleashed Witches; second, protect other Magical Girls and direct them to Mitama&#039;s shop as a safe haven; third, deal with the rampaging Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, recalling the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; in Hokuyo Ward, theorizes it could be the location of the Magius&#039; hidden base. Yachiyo approves Iroha and Sana to investigate this lead separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next several hours, the teams execute the plan. Yachiyo rescues Ren from a Black Feather and escorts her to Mitama&#039;s shop. Kaede Afinds Konomi protecting an injured Kako; together they defeat a Witch and get Kako to safety. Rena aids Asuka and Sasara, later teaming with Ria and Manaka to defeat a Witch. Momoko and Aimi rescue Kokoro and Masara from Feathers. Tsuruno works with Hinano to eliminate a Witch and warns her about the Feathers. Felicia fights alongside Akira and Nanaka&#039;s group, eventually reuniting with Tsuruno. Kanagi protects Himika from Feathers and sends her to Mitama&#039;s. Yachiyo and Kanagi also rescue Riko and Ayaka from Feather attacks and track the enemy to a heliport. Yachiyo, Kanagi, Momoko&#039;s team, and Tsuruno&#039;s team successfully clear the city of the powerful Witches and they rescue and guide numerous Magical Girls to Mitama&#039;s shop. Momoko confronts Mitama, challenging her to abandon her neutral stance and Mitama agrees to allow her shop to be used as a headquarters and to share her knowledge about the Magius&#039; plans.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama reveals the truth that Magical Girls are destined to become Witches, and that the Magius aim to use the energy from Embryo Eve to spread the Doppel phenomenon worldwide, preventing this fate. However, their methods involve sacrificing the citizens of Kamihama and other Magical Girls to gather this energy, so the Magical Girls at the shelter decide to join the fight against the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, in Chuo Ward, Yachiyo and Kanagi are ambushed by Mami and a horde of brainwashed Feathers at the Kamihama Central Tower heliport. The battle is difficult due to the Feathers&#039; numbers and Mami&#039;s enhanced power from the Uwasa. Kanagi reads Mami&#039;s mind and finds her personality has been completely overwritten by the Uwasa&#039;s influence, leaving only her devotion to the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia then arrive as reinforcements and during the fight, a Black Feather loses her &amp;quot;Receiver Pendant.&amp;quot; Kanagi reads this Feather&#039;s mind, uncovering that the Feathers&#039; berserk state is caused by the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Receiver Pendant,&amp;quot; which numbs their emotions and forces them to obey the Magius&#039; orders. The memory also reveals the three Magius orchestrating the attack to harvest emotional energy from the chaos, believing it will bring their utopia closer. The Feather who lost her pendant then begins to regain her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team battles the brainwashed Mami and the Wings of the Magius. With the help of Momoko&#039;s team and Kanagi&#039;s ability to read the enemy&#039;s weakness, they remove the Uwasa from Mami, freeing her from its control. Mami collapses from exhaustion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Homura pleads with Madoka and Sayaka not to go to Kamihama, fearing for their lives against Walpurgisnacht. After initial hesitation, Madoka and Sayaka resolve to go and Homura agrees to accompany them. The trio leaves for Kamihama but cannot contact Iroha Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Upon arriving in Kamihama, the three are attacked by brainwashed Black Feathers in Sakae Ward, but the Feathers suddenly regain their senses and flee. The trio pursues them into Central Ward and meets Kanoko Yayoi, Karin Misono, and Natsuki Utsuho. They learn that other Magical Girls are gathering at Mitama Yakumo&#039;s office and Karin reveals she saw Nanaka Tokiwa carrying an unconscious Mami there. The group goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds Mami, who has been freed from the Magius&#039; control and awakens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius then execute their plan: they cause a city-wide blackout and seize control of Kamihama&#039;s radio waves and power grid. They use Nemu&#039;s power to project a false utopia over the city, attracting Witches, and Touka&#039;s power to send a signal that summons the legendary Witch, Walpurgisnacht. Their goal is to use the chaos and emotional energy to hatch &amp;quot;Eve.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana infiltrate the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; Labyrinth, initially having their presence hidden due to Sana&#039;s unique magic. There, Iroha confronts Touka and Nemu, using the Uwasa itself as proof that her memories of their shared past with Ui are real. Despite this, Touka and Nemu don&#039;t believe her and refuse to halt their plans. Alina arrives, captures Iroha, and takes her to their main base, Hotel Fendt Hope. Afterwards, Sana escapes and informs Yachiyo&#039;s arriving team of Iroha&#039;s capture.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Mitama reveals she previously supplied the Wings with Grief Seeds in exchange for neutrality but has now chosen to side with Yachiyo&#039;s team against them. Mami herself awakens, now having reconciled with her inner turmoil. Now, Yachiyo&#039;s team, reinforced by Momoko&#039;s team and Mami, prepares to assault Hotel Fendt Hope to rescue Iroha and stop the Magius before Walpurgisnacht arrives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, freed from the Uwasa&#039;s influence, resolves to expose the Magius&#039; true plans to the Feathers and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka decide to support her instead of joining Iroha&#039;s group. Nanaka and her team escort them to the heliport and during the journey, Mami explains to Nanaka that the Feathers&#039; loyalty was placed not in the Magius themselves, but in Mifuyu Azusa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 9: Take My Hand]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the heliport, Mami arrives where the exhausted Feathers and Kamihama Magical Girls are at a stalemate. She reveals the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice hundreds of civilians, including the Feathers&#039; own friends and family, to Walpurgisnacht. She also details their previous use of the Chelation Land Rumor for a similar purpose and the Feathers are shocked and dismayed. Some even accuse Mami of hypocrisy, which she does not deny.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Feathers split into two factions: one that still desires liberation at any cost and another that vows to protect Kamihama. A fight breaks out between them and Madoka and the others defend Mami, declaring their unwavering friendship. Moved, Mami asks the Feathers if they have anyone they trust unconditionally, as she now does, and the Feathers state they trust Mifuyu and demand to hear the truth from her directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami entrusts the Feathers to Nanaka&#039;s team, while she, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka then proceed to Hotel Fendthope to aid Iroha. On the way, Mami thanks her friends and asks them to rely on her as an equal ally and friend, not as a veteran. They arrive at the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Mitama is guarding the entrance. She confirms she is aware of Mami&#039;s past struggles and allows the group to pass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 16th==&lt;br /&gt;
* At Hotel Fendt Hope, Sana infiltrates the hotel to find Iroha and she overhears Feathers discussing Iroha&#039;s location and heads there. Iroha is held in a cell and, with her Soul Gem confiscated, she reflects on her memories of Ui, Touka, and Nemu and resolves to stop the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their plans and Alina demands Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem and body be brought to her. A weather report at the same time indicates the approach of Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana locates Iroha&#039;s cell, and she breaks Iroha out, but the act of breaking the cell door triggers an Uwasa, as the entire building is part of a Rumor. Sana defeats the Uwasa and as they flee, they are ambushed by Black Feathers. Kyoko Sakura, who was undergoing an orientation with the Feathers but decided against joining them, intervenes and helps defeat the attackers as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha explains the Magius&#039; goal is to summon Walpurgisnacht, and Kyoko reveals the Magius also plan to use Iroha, Mifuyu, and the Amane sisters as nourishment for &amp;quot;Eve,&amp;quot; the core of the system. Suddenly, Iroha collapses and stops breathing due to the distance from her Soul Gem. A Black Feather who pretended to be unconscious seizes Iroha&#039;s body and escapes with it, and Sana and Kyoko give chase.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team enters the Hotel Fendt Hope through the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth and they split into two teams: Yachiyo&#039;s group heads to the top floor to rescue Mifuyu and the Amane sisters, while Momoko&#039;s group searches for Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team finds Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa unconscious, their bodies separated from their Soul Gems. They quickly recover the Soul Gems, reviving the three, and Mifuyu confirms the Magius summoned Walpurgisnacht to provide energy to hatch Eve. Mifuyu and the Amane sisters renounce the Magius and join Yachiyo&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Iroha is transported by a Black Feather who reveals her motivation: her younger sister turned into a Witch, and she supports the Magius to prevent others from suffering the same fate. Momoko&#039;s team intercepts them and rescues Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko and Sana fight their way through the hotel and reunite with the main group. Momoko&#039;s team recovers a bag containing Iroha&#039;s, Mifuyu&#039;s, and the Amane sisters&#039; Soul Gems. A group of Feathers from the East confronts them but is persuaded by Kanagi to stand down, and they retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the teams reunited, the full coalition of Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, Kanagi, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Kyoko regroups. They possess all the stolen Soul Gems and are united in their goal to stop the Magius and confront Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team&#039;s path to the underground chapel is blocked and Mifuyu determines the magical building, a Rumor crafted by Nemu Hiiragi, has been reconfigured. Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa attempt to break the blockade, but a powerful magical wind erupts, separating the group. Mifuyu, the Amane sisters, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, and Kyoko are blown outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, Sana, Felicia, Tsuruno, and Kanagi remain inside and they defeat an Uwasa that attacks them. Mifuyu communicates from outside that they are locked out, and she devises a new plan: her group will gather other Kamihama Magical Girls to attack and destroy the Uwasa of Hotel Fendt Hope itself, which will collapse the building. She instructs Yachiyo&#039;s group to hurry to the underground chapel for safety before the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu&#039;s group fights off Witches released by Alina Gray as a defense measure. Mami, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka also arrive and assist them. After the battle, Mami convinces Mifuyu to address all the Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, and using the Amane sisters&#039; sound magic, Mifuyu broadcasts a telepathic message across Kamihama, revealing the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice civilians and summon Walpurgisnacht. She urges the Feathers to lay down their arms and prepare to fight the legendary Witch. Many Feathers also heed her call and defect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami then uses her magic to create a small opening in the building&#039;s barrier and enters Hotel Fendt Hope alone to rejoin Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kyoko is noted to be absent. Yachiyo&#039;s team searches for the entrance to the underground chapel and Mami reveals she concealed the entrance with her magic. She severs the ribbon hiding the path, officially breaking her ties with the Wings of the Magius and Mami then leaves to assist with the attack on the Uwasa of Fendt Hope outside. Kyoko meets Mami along the way and gives her a Grief Seed before they both exit the building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team then encounters false copies of Touka, Nemu, and Alina from the Mirror Witch&#039;s barrier; they realize the fakes speak differently and defeat them before continuing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, Mifuyu&#039;s group, now joined by Mami, Kyoko, and the Feathers who defected, attacks the Uwasa of Fendt Hope. Despite a coordinated assault, the Uwasa proves extremely resilient and withstands their combined power. The battle continues as the city-wide weather disaster escalates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team proceeds down a long staircase into a deep, dark underground area filled with strong magical impurities. Along the way, they are confronted by Mirror copies of themselves that voice their deepest insecurities, but each member overcomes their own doubts by relying on their friends. In the underground chapel, they find Alina, Nemu, and Touka waiting for them. At the back of the chapel, they see the massive, unhatched form of the Witch known as Embryo Eve. They reveal the full scope of their plan. They explain that Kyubey&#039;s true mission is to harvest the emotional energy of Magical Girls to counteract the universe&#039;s heat death. The cycle of hope and despair, culminating in a Magical Girl&#039;s transformation into a Witch, produces the necessary energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius intend to usurp this system. They plan to use the phase transition energy from Eve&#039;s transformation into a full Witch to create a permanent forcefield over Kamihama. This field would allow Magical Girls to release their impurities as Doppels instead of becoming Witches, and the energy would be fed back to the universe, making Kyubey and new Magical Girl contracts obsolete. The imminent arrival of Walpurgisnacht is a key part of their plan, as its destruction by Eve will provide the massive energy required.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Despite understanding the plan, Iroha and her team refuse to accept the Magius&#039; methods or their control over the future. The Magius argue that without their plan, Walpurgisnacht will destroy the city regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 2.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, the battle against the Uwasa of Fendt Hope continues. Realizing they are losing, Mifuyu uses a dangerous self-illusion to unleash all her magic at once in a final attack. She destroys the Uwasa but becomes incapacitated in the process as her Soul Gem starts breaking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the chapel, the destruction of the Uwasa causes Fendt Hope&#039;s Labyrinth to collapse, and the chapel is exposed to the outside as the building disappears. After the collapse of Hotel Fendt Hope, the teams reunite in the forest as the Labyrinth vanishes. Yachiyo learns that Mifuyu was severely injured destroying the Uwasa and was taken to Mitama for treatment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius appear with Embryo Eve, now freed from the chapel, and they prepare to fully release Eve so it can devour the approaching Walpurgisnacht. A battle ensues as the teams try to stop them and Iroha and Sana break through the defensive line of Familiars to attack Eve directly. Iroha&#039;s attack on Eve fails and Eve captures Iroha but does not harm her. A bright light emanates from Iroha, allowing Sana to rescue her. Sana reveals she possesses a branch from the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, which was not in bloom when she received it. The branch suddenly blossoms after Iroha touches Eve and Iroha realizes that Embryo Eve is her missing sister, Ui Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana confront Embryo Eve on Takayama Mountain and Iroha believes Eve is her sister, Ui Tamaki, but Eve breaks free from the mountain and begins to move toward Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama City, Walpurgisnacht approaches from the sea, accompanied by a massive horde of Familiars that begin to swarm the city. Magical Girl teams led by Hinano Miyako and Nanaka Tokiwa engage the Familiars along the coast to prevent widespread destruction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the ruins of Hotel Fendt Hope, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo bring the injured Mifuyu to Mitama Yakumo for emergency aid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Takayama Mountain, Iroha pleads with the combined Magical Girl forces not to kill Eve, revealing her belief that it is Ui. The Magius leaders and Alina retreat. Eve leaps into the sky, heading for Sankyo Ward in Kamihama. Yachiyo Nanami&#039;s team prepares to pursue Eve, while Madoka Kaname&#039;s group from Mitakihara heads to the coast to help defend against Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Magius headquarters, Touka and Nemu dismiss Iroha&#039;s claims about Ui, despite Nemu&#039;s private suspicions. Alina expresses interest in Iroha&#039;s memories but remains focused on Eve&#039;s hatching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Eve&#039;s arrival in Sankyo Ward, Mitama informs Iroha and the team that Ui&#039;s true body and Soul Gem are contained within Embryo Eve, which is a &amp;quot;Half-Witch.&amp;quot; To save Ui, they must defeat Eve&#039;s manifested form without destroying the Soul Gem and Mitama identifies a large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest as the core that maintains its form and its weak point. Mitama also treats the comatose Mifuyu, whose Soul Gem is critically cracked from overuse. Mitama stabilizes it but cannot fully heal her, and Tsukuyo and Tsukasa decide to rejoin the fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Eve rampages through Sankyo Ward, the combined Magical Girl teams attack Eve but find their assaults completely ineffective. Mitama, the Amane sisters, and other groups like Hinano Miyako&#039;s team regroup and they decide to consolidate their forces: one group will focus on defeating Eve, while the other prepares for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s landfall.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia readies her hammer and strikes Eve on the head with a magic‑powered blow, using her memory‑obliterating ability to confuse Eve and halt its advance; in the aftermath of the strike, a strange glow is visible near Eve&#039;s belly. Meanwhile, the Amane sisters relay the critical intelligence about Eve&#039;s red jewel weak point to Yachiyo&#039;s team. Eve begins to move toward Chuo Ward, and Sana proposes a plan to immobilize Eve so the team can target its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, the combined forces of Yachiyo&#039;s team, the Amane sisters, and other White Feathers execute a plan to immobilize Embryo Eve. They use chains from Sana&#039;s shield, spears, and plants to bind Eve to a large building and Iroha successfully strikes the large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest, its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eve retaliates by absorbing a massive vortex of impurities its Familiars had collected, causing its body to mutate and merge with the jewel. Iroha then sees a vision of Ui trapped within the core, reaffirming her resolve to save her, but the Magius arrive to protect Eve and ensure it consumes Walpurgisnacht. Iroha declares her intent to enter the gem to save Ui directly, and despite being severely injured, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia hold off the Magius, creating an opening for Iroha to advance toward Eve&#039;s core.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:10-19.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha reaches Ui&#039;s body but cannot shatter the gem surrounding it completely. Touka arrives at her side, and questions her motives. Iroha declares Ui is her sister and a precious friend to Touka and Nemu, and as Iroha reaches for Ui, the Embryo Eve attacks and Lil&#039; Kyubey intervenes and blocks the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu experience a flood of memories, recalling the original events. She remembers seeing Iroha with Kyubey in a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, learning about Magical Girls, and devising a plan with Ui and Nemu to usurp Kyubey&#039;s powers to create an automatic purification system and save all Magical Girls. Their plan failed when Ui&#039;s &amp;quot;harvest&amp;quot; ability went haywire upon her transformation, forcing Nemu to sever Ui&#039;s soul from her body and store it within the de-powered, small Kyubey to prevent her from becoming a Witch. This act erased Ui from the world&#039;s memory, as well as any traces of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Regaining their memories, Touka uses her stored energy to destabilize the Embryo Eve and Nemu uses her stories to restrain it. Iroha shatters Eve&#039;s central gem, and the small Kyubey releases Ui&#039;s soul. Ui awakens and reassures Touka and Nemu that she does not blame them for their shared decision. The Embryo Eve, now soulless, begins to decay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined Magical Girl forces, including Mami, Kyoko, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura, continue their battle against Walpurgisnacht in Chuo Ward. Despite their numbers, the Witch proves immensely powerful and resilient.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102304 mikage desire.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, a massive explosion of light and energy erupts from the location of the decaying Embryo Eve. The Eve has transformed into a new, stable form, and Touka deduces that Alina, who had previously shrunk the anti-Kyubey forcefield to contain the city&#039;s energy, has now wrapped that forcefield tightly around Eve. This action stabilized Eve&#039;s energy and prevented its decay, allowing Alina to control it as a tool for her art. Alina appears, now fused with an Uwasa in a manner similar to [[Holy Mami]], and declares her intent to use Eve to create her ultimate masterpiece, disregarding the goal of Magical Girl liberation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, as this is taking place, [[Mikage Yakumo]], Mitama&#039;s younger sister, is approached by Kyubey when the Barrier disappears. After he explains Mitama&#039;s wish to her, Mikage makes a wish of her own to undo the effects of Mitama&#039;s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Chapter 2: Smiles and Fireworks]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Holy Alina]] asserts that humanity subconsciously desires destruction and that she will use the Embryo Eve to fulfill this wish as her ultimate artwork. Kanagi confronts her own past desire to destroy the city due to its history of conflict but ultimately rejects Alina&#039;s path as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 nemu uwasa.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu, as the creator of Alina&#039;s Uwasa, takes responsibility. She uses the last of her life force to summon every Uwasa recorded in her book to attack Alina directly. The attack defeats Alina, making her disappear, but Nemu collapses, severely weakened and unable to move her legs, so White Feathers evacuate her to safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 eve user1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Embryo Eve, now uncontrolled, begins to rampage and targets Ui, attempting to reabsorb her. Lil&#039; Kyubey implies a solution: it will take Ui&#039;s place within Eve. Touka realizes that the small Kyubey, which contains Ui&#039;s former soul and Kyubey&#039;s original functions, possesses similar attributes to Eve. It is also incapable of becoming a Witch. Lil&#039; Kyubey merges with the Embryo Eve, causing it to release all orbs of light from its body, lading in different parts of Kamihama. The small Kyubey thus becomes the core of the &amp;quot;Automatic Purification System&amp;quot; that Touka, Ui, and Nemu originally envisioned, preventing Magical Girls from becoming Witches within Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival, the combined forces of Magical Girls, including the various teams from Kamihama and the team from Mitakihara, are on the verge of defeat. Homura and the others exhaust their weapons and energy in a desperate attempt to defeat it. They are exhausted, out of Grief Seeds, many are incapacitated, and despite their injuries and depleted resources, the girls refuse to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Last Magia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Walpurgisnacht prepares a massive attack that seems certain to annihilate them, an unknown, benevolent force envelops the Magical Girls. Iroha hears a mysterious voice and sees white feathers raining down, an experience shared by everyone on the battlefield. They all experience a sudden surge of energy and a feeling of being urged forward. This voice is from the Law of Cycles, who had been watching the timeline but not interfering with it. The feathers rejuvenate the group, lifting their spirits and empowering them to continue fighting; their strength is restored, and even the injured find themselves able to fight again. With morale returned, they rally together for one final, united assault, redirecting Walpurgisnacht to Kaihin Park using a coordinated strategy with their unique magical abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined forces of Magical Girls coordinate their unique magics to combat Walpurgisnacht: &lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Natsuki Utsuho initiate the counterattack by using their Encouragement and Cheering magic to boost the morale and power of all allies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seizing this surge of energy, the team implements a complex strategy to control the battlefield. First, Felicia, Meiyui Chun, and Rika Ayano use their Memory Erasure, Persuasion, and Mind-Altering magic to disorient Walpurgisnacht and force it to change course toward the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** To precisely guide the Witch to the intended battleground, Tsuruno, Riko Chiaki, and Emiri Kisaki then use their Good Luck, Luring, and Charm magic, successfully leading Walpurgisnacht to the beachfront park while evading its attacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Once there, the focus shifts to immobilizing the colossal foe. Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Asuka Tatsuki use their Flute Blossom Resonance and Action Control magic in an attempt to halt Walpurgisnacht&#039;s movement entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When it retaliates, Himika Mao diverts its attacks, creating an opening for Kanagi Izumi, who, with a power boost from Mitama&#039;s Coordination, attacks it directly to stun it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** This creates the crucial opening for a full restraint, and Mami, Kanoko Yayoi, and Kaede use Ribbon Binding, Stitching, and Plant magic to ensnare the Witch, which Rena amplified by using her Transformation magic to transform into Kaede and double the restraining power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Walpurgisnacht finally immobilized, Nanaka organizes their forces while Hazuki Yusa and Akira Shinobu identify its weak point with their magic, a gear connected to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire group then launch a coordinated, all-out assault, with offensive magics like Hinano Miyako&#039;s Chemical Explosions leading the charge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout the final attack, Kokoro Awane, Ayame Mikuri, and Konoha Shizumi provide vital defense with their Wall Creation, Safeguarding, and Fog Generation magic, protecting the assault team and ensuring their united strike could land.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Realizing their combined assault was not enough to deliver a final blow, the Magical Girls regroup and to ensure they could act as one perfect unit, Reira Ibuki uses her Purifying Flame to heal their wounds and replenish their energy, while Mito Aino uses her Heart-Linking magic to synchronize their hearts and minds, allowing their resolve to become perfectly aligned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With their spirits united, they form a new strategy and Konomi Haruna uses her magic to force their Fighting Spirit to Bloom, amplifying their collective potential, while Kako Natsume uses her Event Reproduction magic to reinforce the gathered energy, and Ren Isuzu enacts her Nirvana magic to ensure the attack would bring permanent rest to the Witch if successful.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The plan to create a final weapon then commences. Ui uses her Harvest magic to gather the hope and magical energy from every single Magical Girl on the battlefield. She passes this immense energy to Touka, who used her Conversion magic to condense it all into a single, concentrated mass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* This mass of collective hope is then entrusted to Yachiyo, whose unique magic of Inheritance allows her to embody and control the power. She and Iroha shape this energy into a gigantic, radiant arrow aimed at the weak point that had been identified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they prepared to fire, Walpurgisnacht launches an attack to free itself from their binds. In that moment, Homura activates her Time-Stop, and touches Iroha, allowing her to move within the suspended time and take aim unimpeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the path clear, Iroha releases the arrow and strikes the central gear with overwhelming force. As time resumed, the arrow consumed Walpurgisnacht in a brilliant explosion, finally ending the calamity and clearing the sky over Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102005 magicalgirl3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura reflects that she has finally surpassed this battle after countless timelines, and Madoka expresses relief that no more people will suffer from Walpurgisnacht. The girls in Kamihama also celebrate their hard-earned victory, despite the fact that many are injured and exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Epilogue==&lt;br /&gt;
* Some days after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, Iroha and Ui see their parents off at the airport as they leave for their overseas assignment. Iroha and Ui then return to Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama City, where Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana welcome them back. Mifuyu is also present, as Iroha was able to use her magic to repair Mifuyu&#039;s damaged Soul Gem, allowing her to recover. Later that day, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Kanagi, and Mitama visit Mikazuki Villa as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, [[Ultimate Madoka]], a being who identifies as a record-keeper of all universes reflects on the new timeline centered on Kamihama. She states she intervened one last time by sending a &amp;quot;rain of feathers&amp;quot; to empower the Magical Girls but will now only observe, fearing further direct interference could damage this fragile new reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu organize a meeting for all Magical Girls involved in the recent conflict to discuss the actions of the Wings of the Magius and the future fate of all Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu visit the Eternal Sakura. The Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura congratulates them on finally being together as friends and Nemu, who now uses a wheelchair, accepts her condition as a consequence of her past actions. Iroha briefly wonders about the whereabouts of the small Kyubey that once accompanied her, and then meet Lil&#039; Kyubey in the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After some days, Homura reflects on their victory. Despite saving Madoka and defeating Walpurgisnacht, she feels uncertain. The fundamental curse of Magical Girls becoming Witches remains, and she questions if this timeline is truly the best outcome. At school, Mami informs the group about recent disappearances and people getting lost, which they attribute to a new Witch. They devise a plan to track it by mapping the incidents. Kyoko arrives from Kazamino, also hunting the same Witch, and a tense alliance forms.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: The Place We Finally Reached]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group splits into teams to search the area Mami identified. Madoka notices Homura&#039;s preoccupation and reassures her. The teams locate the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and coordinate their attack. During the battle, Homura fears for her friends&#039; safety, but they work together effectively. Kyoko and Sayaka create an opening for Mami and Madoka to deliver the final blow, while Homura evacuates the Witch-Kissed civilians.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Kyoko gives the Grief Seed to Mami and Sayaka declares she has no regrets about becoming a Magical Girl, valuing the power to protect and the friends she has made. This prompts Mami to reconcile with Kyoko, asking to be true friends who help each other when needed again, to which Kyoko agrees. Madoka then states she is also glad she became a Magical Girl, expressing faith in the future because of her friends. This resolve causes Homura to weep with joy, finally believing this timeline, where they face their fate together, could be the one she sought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group, including Kyoko, shares a meal at a pancake restaurant. They discuss an upcoming meeting in Kamihama to address the Magius&#039; actions. While Kyoko opts not to attend, the others plan to update her later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 04 00 0042 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One Saturday, Mami volunteers to help clean the damage done by the Magius incident and Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura go along as well. During it, a Witch attacks and a Magical Girl they were helping unleashes a Doppel. They defeat the Witch and the girl falls unconscious, so Mami takes her to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After stabilizing her, Mami asks Mitama to help her face her own Doppel and she guides Mami to look within. Mami meets her Doppel and it tries to convince her to forget the past, yet Mami refuses and proclaims that she accepts the Doppel as part of herself. Mami then wakes up, thanking everyone and says they will build the future together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cherry Blossom Dreams===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, the Eternal Sakura completed her duties as an Uwasa when her tree came into full bloom. Her Rumor was rewritten and she was connected to Touka&#039;s server, reborn as an Uwasa with ample knowledge who would later be named Sakurako. Around this time, Yachiyo received a message asking what should be done about the six ringleaders of the Magius—Touka Satomi, Nemu Hiiragi, Mifuyu Azusa, Mitama Yakumo, Tsukuyo Amane, and Tsukasa Amane. Nemu proposed rewriting the Eternal Sakura to serve as an impartial judge. They designed three trials: the first to analyze crimes and calculate a verdict, the second to survey all Magical Girls, and the third to reach a final decision based on responses. Punishments ranged from monitoring to destruction of the Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the first trial, Sakurako sentenced Touka and Nemu to the maximum penalty. Mifuyu received power revocation, reduced from maximum due to testimony that she helped destroy Fendt Hope. Mitama received conditional power revocation, allowed to transform only for Coordinator work. The Amane sisters received power restriction. After the trial, Touka and Nemu remained calm, thanking everyone. Yachiyo noted they had intentionally omitted their ages from consideration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Nemu and Sakurako wait at a train station with others. Nearby girls whisper about Nemu, recognizing her as one of the Magius and questioning why she faces no punishment. Ui argues with Iroha about using the Stardust Time Viewer, while Touka pushes through the crowd, disheveled from navigating the train alone. The three girls reunite, each feeling it is a dream. Touka sends Ui a photo of the map they created together in the hospital. The group travels to the mall, where Ui finally visits the croquette shop she always wanted to try, and they share plates to taste each other&#039;s orders. From there, they take a rickshaw to Mizuna Shrine, where they briefly encounter Tsukuyo and Tsukasa, who quickly hurry away. The group buys prayer plaques, though most hesitate at the cost until a shrine attendant suggests writing prayers on the back of their fortunes instead. Iroha wishes for all Magical Girls to get along, while Touka and Nemu write their own wishes. They argue over where to go next—Touka wants a lookout point in Hokuyo Ward, but Ui resists rushing. Sakurako suggests they also face reality, so they head to Central Ward, still scarred from Walpurgisnacht and Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui admits she used the library as an excuse to bring them here, hoping the Stardust Time Viewer would show them a hopeful future. Nemu summons the Rumor, transporting them to a star-filled space. The Viewer shows Iroha&#039;s future: a world where the Doppel system has expanded globally and all Magical Girls coexist peacefully. Iroha feels embarrassed, but Sakurako assures her the wish is beautiful. When Ui asks to see her own future, the Viewer has nothing to show. Ui realizes this means Touka and Nemu are absent from Iroha&#039;s future and accuses them of planning to die. The vision fades, returning them to the rubble of Central Ward. Touka and Nemu admit they believe they should die for their crimes, pointing to the destruction around them, the Feathers they manipulated, and the innocent people hurt. Sakurako confirms she knew this all along. Ui slaps them both, demanding they consider how she feels. Nemu explains they wanted to do what they could while they still had time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second trial begins. No surveys have arrived. Sakurako agrees to wait one hour. Yachiyo and others leave to retrieve them. Mifuyu confronts Touka and Nemu, asking if they sabotaged the surveys. They admit they did, altering the date so the surveys would not arrive in time. They wanted to be judged and sentenced to death to spare Ui from the hatred directed at them. Ui refuses to accept this. She and Iroha transform to protect them. The hour ends and Sakurako moves to deliver punishment. Iroha and Ui hold her back as Mifuyu and Mitama join the defense. The Amane sisters attack Sakurako with their flutes, accepting heavier sentences. Iroha realizes they can use photos of the surveys as evidence. Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s phones begin chiming with images from Yachiyo and the others. Iroha begs Sakurako to accept the evidence. Sakurako confirms the surveys are real and delays the trial, requiring them to arrive by day&#039;s end. The surveys show Magical Girls believe Touka and Nemu should be punished, but not killed. Some suggest atonement, rehabilitation, or mentorship. Reading the responses, Touka and Nemu weep, but Ui weeps with joy. Based on the surveys, sentences are reduced. Touka and Nemu receive monitoring with transformation-prevention bracelets, while Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s sentences are reduced to monitoring. The Amane sisters are found not guilty and Feathers who revealed themselves have their cases dismissed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the group gathers. Touka and Nemu wear their bracelets. Sakurako serves drinks. Mifuyu asks about tutoring Touka in exchange for help with pharmacy school. Nemu will rely on Sakurako for mobility on difficult days. Tsuruno suggests welcoming them as the Brains of Kamihama. In the kitchen, Sakurako hugs Touka and Nemu, then Iroha and Ui. She tells them she loves them. The days she always dreamed of have arrived. The real spring can finally begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocolatier in Mirror Country===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro, Masara, Konomi, Asuka and Sasara gather at Manaka&#039;s place to plan their charity bazaar booth. Kokoro and Masara participate to help Himika&#039;s family without making it obvious, while Asuka and Sasara join to invite a lonely girl named Chi whose father died. Konomi&#039;s booth was invited directly due to her popular Valentine&#039;s bouquets. They agree on a collaboration between Walnuts and Blossom the florist, dividing tasks among themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Warming Valentine]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Manaka&#039;s father&#039;s help, Kokoro and Masara make bear-shaped chocolates. Asuka recruits dojo volunteers, Sasara invites Chi and designs leaflets, and Konomi prepares bouquets with Izayoi&#039;s help decorating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the bazaar, adults receive bouquets with donation and children get free chocolates. Chi and her mother visit happily. Himika initially refuses chocolate but accepts after realizing her siblings want it, and they enjoy the day together. The event succeeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later at a celebration party, Sasara and Kokoro feel their efforts changed nothing. Masara scolds them for impatience, explaining kindness takes time. Kanagi and Asuka arrive with good news that Himika&#039;s family is making White Day gifts, and Chi&#039;s mother now calls daily. Relieved, they enjoy the party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Valentine&#039;s Day, girls give chocolates to loved ones. Sasara gives to her father, Asuka to her cousin, and Konomi to her aunt. Masara and Kokoro exchange chocolates at their favorite spot, and Kokoro tearfully reconciles with her parents. Elsewhere, Rena and Tsukuyo each struggle to give chocolates to Kaede and Tsukasa. Following a rumor, they separately pray at a radio tower, accidentally encounter each other, and successfully give their chocolates when Kaede and Tsukasa also arrive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, in Mitakihara, Nagisa bakes a chocolate cake with Mami while feeling that something is wrong, as her memories feel hazy and she seems more childish than she should be. She realizes her memories of being longtime friends with Mami are false, yet she recognizes that the warmth she feels is what she has always wanted. When they finish the cake, a Witch that looks like a younger version of Nagisa steals it, and they chase it into a mirror, finding themselves in a transformed version of the Mirror Witch&#039;s Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Chocolatier in Mirror Country]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They encounter Madoka and Homura trapped in a time loop illusion, free them, and learn that Sayaka and Kyoko went ahead and are now missing. They find Sayaka and Kyoko trapped in a competition for a magical cake, so Mami and Nagisa enter and win by choosing a song they both know well. Using the cake&#039;s wishes, they reunite the group and defeat the attacking Witch. Nagisa realizes she has two sets of memories and deduces the chocolate-loving Witch is an alternate version of herself who wished for chocolate cake instead of cheesecake. This Witch has been consuming the Labyrinth&#039;s power and attracting Witches from parallel worlds through mirror gates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The little Witch steals the cake again, and during the chase, Nagisa and Mami become separated in a dark fog. A poem warns them not to open their eyes or they will lose each other, but Nagisa&#039;s self-doubt overwhelms her. Remembering losing her mother and everyone else, she convinces herself Mami is not really there, opens her eyes, and is consumed by the Witch. The group fights through countless gates to find her and engages the master Witch. Inside, Mami finds Nagisa, hugs her tightly, and promises they will always be friends because of the future they will share, not false memories. Nagisa finally believes her, and the cake is returned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group realizes that even with the master Witch defeated, other Witches have taken its place, so they must clear them all to restore the Labyrinth. They commit to finishing the job together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Labyrinth is cleared, they gather at Mami&#039;s apartment for a chocolate party where Nagisa officially gives Mami the cake. They play poker with chocolate coins to decide how to share the remaining half, and Mami wins, but she divides the cake equally among all six. Everyone agrees it is the best cake in the universe.

** In Kamihama, that night, Tsukuyo finds Rena praying at the Chuo Ward radio tower, having both read an online article claiming that twenty minutes of prayer there ensures successful apologies to loved ones. Tsukuyo confesses she hurt her twin sister Tsukasa by rejecting their Valentine&#039;s plans after failing at homemade chocolate, while Rena admits she snapped at Kaede and claimed she had no chocolate for her after Kaede had given her some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The 14th Day Where I Can&#039;t Be Honest]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their conversation is interrupted when Tsukasa and Kaede suddenly appear, having anticipated their partners would come here to apologize. Tsukasa assures Tsukuyo she was not upset and would treasure any chocolate from her, urging her to be easier on herself. Kaede forgives Rena and asks simply for her to be more honest. Together, the two pairs exchange Valentine&#039;s wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany===&lt;br /&gt;
* Walpurgisnacht&#039;s attack on Kamihama City caused massive damage to Chuo Ward, which the public believes was a natural disaster. Only Magical Girls know the truth and privately, Mitama reflects that the victory gave her hope, but she wonders if the destruction she once wished for can be defied.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0008 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after Walpurgisnacht, Mitama realizes Doyle has not visited her shop and the last saw him the day before Walpurgisnacht. She assumes the storm made him too scared to go out, so she decides to close her shop and search for him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama looks around the vacant land near her shop and a girl named Ritsumi offers to help. Ritsumi’s cat Arthur ran away before, so she knows where cats hide. They search but find nothing and Ritsumi says Arthur now lives with her grandpa. Mitama realizes Ritsumi is the daughter of the neighbor who owns Arthur and Mitama had mistaken Arthur for Doyle and that Ritsumi has never actually seen Doyle. They end the day without clues and Mitama sends a message to the Magical Girls’ group chat asking if anyone has seen a white tabby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama knocks on the neighbor’s door and Ritsumi’s mother answers. She explains that Arthur was sent away two weeks ago to Ritsumi’s grandpa. Mitama realizes that no one knows where Doyle came from. Ritsumi’s mother promises to keep an eye out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana, Asuka, and others from Mizuna Girls’ Academy saw Mitama’s group chat post and they arrive to help. More volunteers soon arrive: Kaede, Kako, Rena, Konoha’s team, and others. They split up to cover Shinsei Ward and Mitama notes that no one else has ever seen Doyle. Konoha says she never saw a cat at Mitama’s shop. Rena also asks for a photo, but Mitama has none.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds Ritsumi near the bus stop and they search door to door. No one in the neighborhood has seen a white tabby kitten either. Ritsumi says she has read all “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” books and that her favorite is “Invisible Epiphany,” about a detective searching for a lost child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko meets Mitama alone. Momoko says she never saw Doyle and neither did Tsukasa or the other girls. Mitama remembers talking to Doyle in front of them, but they saw no cat ither. Momoko suggests a Rumor is involved, as all Rumors disappeared after the fight with the Magius, except the Eternal Sakura. Coincidentally, Doyle disappeared at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls Nemu, who is still in the hospital and Nemu explains that Doyle was part of the Rumor of the Cat Detective. The Rumor possesses detective novel lovers, detects signs of a case, gets the detective involved, and guarantees a solution. Nemu explains she erased almost all Rumors, including this one. Mitama thinks Doyle disappeared because the Rumor was destroyed and she had solved four cases with Doyle’s help, yet the fifth never began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama re-reads her case files and each one has an opening paragraph she does not remember writing. The first case file hints at Hanna Sarasa. The second hints at Tsukasa. The third and fourth also name the culprits. Mitama realizes Doyle left those hints, and Nemu says the Rumor did not cause incidents, only detected them, so those incidents would have happened anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0009 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Kamihama slowly returns to order. Mitama notes that she cannot rely on Doyle anymore and she hopes she does not get any new cases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui and the Eternal Sakura visit Mitama to deliver a lampshade from Yachiyo. Ui says a girl from her school has gone missing and Mitama is shocked to learn the girl is Ritsumi, who did not come home after school yesterday and the police are investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama goes to the bus stop near her shop and finds Ritsumi’s mother. The mother says Ritsumi likely went to Hokuyo Ward to see her grandpa and Arthur. Ritsumi’s parents are separated and her father lives with his parents in Hokuyo Ward. The mother believes Ritsumi wanted to visit them, but the bus route to Hokuyo was suspended after the disaster but has resumed, bypassing Chuo Ward. Soon, Himika calls Mitama. Himika saw a girl matching Ritsumi’s description waiting at the Shinsei Ward bus stop yesterday, reading a book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi arrive and Momoko explains she has been investigating at school. Ritsumi transferred to Kamihama University Affiliated School six months ago after her parents separated and she moved into the building next to Mitama’s shop. Momoko explains Arthur went to live with her father in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo Ward. Mitama realizes the conflicting information: Arthur was first in Chuo Ward, then evacuated to the grandpa’s house in Hokuyo after the disaster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Satomi Medical Center, Nemu discusses the case with Eternal Sakura. Nemu recalls the hidden hints in Mitama’s case files. The last words of each hint spell “Lost Through Time Eternal,” which is the title of volume 12 of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” In that story, a girl runs away to her old home. Nemu deduces that Ritsumi went to her old apartment in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo. She likely got off at the nearest bus stop and walked into the restricted zone, then she had an accident.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Momoko, and Kanagi search the area near the old apartment and they hear a voice. Ritsumi had fallen into an old underground passage and sprained her ankle. She lost track of time and had no phone. Mitama explains she remembered the Doyle book and Ritsumi admits she was copying the girl in the story as she wanted to see the area where she grew up. The three quickly rescue her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ritsumi is taken to a hospital and also discharged quickly. Her parents agree to let her visit both of them and Arthur whenever she likes. Mitama reflects that Doyle gave her confidence and the city she cursed is still standing, so she dares to believe in hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Momoko finally holds the Coordinator Thank-You Party that was postponed earlier and Rena and Kaede thank Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui reads &amp;quot;The Happy Prince&amp;quot; and reflects on her uncertain purpose as a Magical Girl. While walking, she stops Kyubey from contracting a girl outside Kamihama, explaining she cannot let anyone else suffer the fate of becoming a Witch. When Kyubey asks what he should do instead, she has no answer. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia tells Ui she is overthinking things and should focus on her upcoming combat test. Iroha and Yachiyo serve dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno gives Ui an enthusiastic pep talk for her live combat test. To remain in Kamihama, Ui must detect and eliminate a Witch alone—the same test Yachiyo gave Iroha when she first arrived. Yachiyo admits the test may be unfair and offers to let Ui choose a partner. With Iroha busy helping Kanagi, Ui chooses Momoko. They depart together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui struggles to sense the Witch&#039;s magic, so they search Mizuna Ward where young women gather. They encounter a Familiar and follow it to a Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After defeating it, Felicia suddenly appears, attacks them, and runs away. Tsuruno gives chase and tackles her. Felicia&#039;s oblivion magic has erased their memory of the Familiar&#039;s pattern, so they cannot track the Witch. Momoko requests a pause, but Yachiyo refuses, stating unexpected events happen in real combat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia admits she interfered because she is jealous that Ui receives everyone&#039;s attention while she struggled alone as a mercenary. Yachiyo explains that Felicia&#039;s past does not justify making others unhappy. Meanwhile, Ui cheers up after eating crepes with Momoko and resolves to continue. As sunset approaches, they search Sakae Ward but find nothing. Yachiyo offers to bring a Familiar for them to retrack, but it disappears before they arrive. Ui suggests checking Hokuyo Ward on a hunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Hokuyo Ward, Ui senses a different Witch&#039;s magical reaction. They follow Witch-kissed people up a mountain toward a labyrinth. At Yachiyo&#039;s house, the others realize Ui failed the test since Yachiyo had to eliminate the original Witch herself, though Yachiyo will allow a retake. They notice Felicia smiling and suspect she interfered again. Rena confesses she helped Felicia erase the hint because she understood Felicia&#039;s jealousy. Tsuruno says the only person who deserves an apology is Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the mountain, Ui and Momoko enter the Witch&#039;s barrier against Momoko&#039;s better judgment. They fight through Familiars but become trapped and cannot escape. The Witch overwhelms them. Yachiyo and the others arrive and join the fight, but Familiars overwhelm them too. Iroha arrives at the last moment to defend Ui. Ui proposes using her ability to harvest impurities, purifying everyone&#039;s Soul Gems so they can fight at full strength. She will temporarily become a Witch, but the Doppel system will contain it. She absorbs the impurities, and the others destroy the Witch while Ui struggles with the darkness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui unleashes her Doppel and meets her Doppel self, who accuses her of wanting punishment and being jealous of others while trapped in the hospital. Ui nearly agrees to let the Doppel consume her but refuses, recognizing it as the easy way out. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words about taking responsibility and confronting the situation honestly. She accepts her wrongs and her true feelings, realizing this difficult path will bring true happiness. The Doppel admits she is right. Iroha wakes Ui at Mitama&#039;s clinic, where she has been unconscious for some time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama checks on Ui after her first Doppel release. Felicia apologizes for her interference and says she thinks Ui is cool. Rena also apologizes for helping Felicia. Ui accepts their apologies and compliments them both, asking Felicia to teach her things. Rena and Felicia feel terrible for how they treated someone so kind. Later that evening at Yachiyo&#039;s house, everyone celebrates Ui passing her test—though she did not defeat the assigned Witch, she tracked a Witch, stayed calm, used her intelligence, and performed better than expected. Ui tells Iroha she now knows what she wants to do as a Magical Girl. Iroha decides to work with other Kamihama Magical Girls to find a way to free them all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui and Iroha encounter Kyubey outside Kamihama attempting another contract and stop him. Kyubey asks what their goal is. They explain they plan to fight and find a way to coexist with Kyubey—if they can expand Kamihama&#039;s miracle globally, Magical Girls can live happily while providing the energy Kyubey needs. Kyubey welcomes the idea if it avoids conflict but warns that Magical Girls worldwide are not as unified as those in Kamihama. Ui wonders how much happiness she can give to the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tart / Darc Magica===&lt;br /&gt;
* Through Minou&#039;s spell from 15th-century France, Ui is pulled into the past, with her phone acting as her Soul Gem and Blank Prophecy, with the power to restore the past&#039;s real history.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rebel of a Dawnless Land]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning from the past, Ui finds herself in an antique store, still surrounded by magic bubbles though no memory of what occured. On the floor are the two candles and the old book. She feels they are important but cannot remember why, so she puts them on store shelves before falling asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui wakes up at Mikazuki Villa. Her phone rings with a text of Nemu asking if she knows any charms, as Mitama has been really into them lately. Ui says she knows a charm for good dreams requiring red and blue candles. Nemu asks where she heard about it and Ui isn&#039;t sure but says it was in 15th-century France. Nemu is fascinated and promises to research it. Later, Ui scrolls through her phone and finds a photo she doesn&#039;t recognize with girls she doesn&#039;t know. She begins crying without understanding why and Iroha finds her and hugs her tightly. Suddenly Ui remembers Darc&#039;s final words. She turns to her sister and tells her, &amp;quot;Let&#039;s have a wonderful future together.&amp;quot; Iroha agrees. Ui calms down and heads home to prepare for a slumber party with Nemu and Touka. Iroha, running errands, decides to stop by Mitama&#039;s place afterward. Mitama greets her warmly, mentioning she just learned an interesting little charm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That day, Iroha visits Mitama, who gives her and Yachiyo antique candles for a sweet dream spell. That night, they light the candles and drift off to sleep together, where they&#039;re pulled into the nightmare of Jeanne d&#039;Arc in April 29th, 1429.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Maiden of Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next morning, Yachiyo reveals she had the same dream. They call Mitama, who is surprised they had nightmares instead of sweet dreams. They decide to try the candles again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Kamihama plunged into darkness and all non-Magical Girls vanished. Their Soul Gems have consumed magic in the real world despite no injuries. Realizing the dream affects reality, they decide to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a lot of fighting, they awaken and prepare for the final battle. In this journey they discover that they&#039;d been traveling to Darc&#039;s dream, and if Darc despairs completely, she will turn into a Witch and trigger a catastrophe affecting the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Felicia and Sana gone and Kamihama empty. Breaking into Mitama&#039;s shop, they find a grimoire revealing the candles were made with Darc&#039;s hair, creating a connection to her dream. They return with the book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They finally awaken at Mikazuki Villa to sunshine and normalcy. Felicia demands steak for dinner. Consulting a history book, they read that on May 7th, 1429, Jeanne d&#039;Arc fought at Tourelles after waking from a dream. The battle was fierce but Orléans was liberated. Iroha notices a portrait in the book showing them in their Magical Girl outfits standing beside Jeanne d&#039;Arc.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at Mitama&#039;s shop, Yachiyo recounts everything. Mitama mentions the spell became widespread in France during Jeanne d&#039;Arc&#039;s era. Iroha realizes Melissa must have spread it after learning it from them in the dream. The use of red and blue candles was too specific to be coincidence. Iroha&#039;s head spins trying to figure out where the spell originated. Yachiyo notes the grimoire never mentioned the candle setup, so the spell just circled around and around. They will never know for certain whether they changed history or were always part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* During their slumber party, Ui, Touka, and Nemu encounter a massive witch, [[Crépuscule de La Reine]]. Touka and Nemu vanish, leaving Ui and Sakurako to face it alone. The witch is unaffected by their attacks and disappears, taking Ui with it into 15th-century France once more, this time in the realm of Purgatory which Minou created. With Pernelle&#039;s help, Ui is soon able to also summon Iroha and Yachiyo there as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;endofalegendthelimitsoflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - End of a Legend, the Limits of Light]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Lil&#039; Kyubey and Ui&#039;s phone as the Blank Prophecy are pulled as &amp;quot;If Factors&amp;quot; into the world of Holy Maiden Academy, which Minou created and maintained for six hundred years after being given a Philosopher&#039;s Stone after Isabeau&#039;s death. However, after her plans are thwarted by the &amp;quot;what if&amp;quot; version of Melissa, he returns and wakes in the real world, where Iroha and Ui assure him it was just a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;counc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Masked Student Council Strikes Back]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Voices from Beyond, Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a year after Voices from Beyond, Part 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With peace restored in Kamihama, Yachiyo visits a flower shop to buy flowers for Mel&#039;s grave, still haunted by never defeating Mel&#039;s Witch. She unexpectedly encounters Mifuyu and Mel&#039;s mother, who reassures them Mel was happy because of their love. Walking toward the cemetery, Yachiyo and Mifuyu are engulfed by the barrier of the Witch Etteilla—Mel&#039;s Witch. They struggle against both the Witch and their own fears: Mifuyu fears defeating it means forgetting Mel, while Yachiyo fears losing anyone else. Remembering the ghosts&#039; encouragement, Yachiyo convinces Mifuyu they must move forward because Mel and Kanae wanted them to. They defeat the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mel&#039;s grave, they place flowers and the Grief Seed from the Witch, hoping her soul has finally found peace. They silently promise to keep moving forward. Mifuyu wonders if Mel&#039;s Witch appeared to give them a push, and they smile, repeating Mel&#039;s favorite phrase: all things happen when they must. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to see the belongings Mel and Kanae left behind, and Mifuyu gladly accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One weekend, Rui ropes Seira into attending Kamiket, a convention for sharing and selling fan-made media in Kamihama. The two became close friends after discovering they are both Magical Girls, and because Seira is the only one who knows about Rui&#039;s embarrassing secret: a heavy case of chuuni-byo. Rui agreed to bring Seira on the condition that only the two of them would go, ensuring nobody else discovered her secret.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the day of the convention, Rui cannot contain her excitement and slips into character, declaring the convention her sanctuary and the catalog guidebook as Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Her main objective is to purchase the newest installment of her favorite indie game series and meet its creator, MacQueen. On the way to the booth, she accidentally bumps into a stranger who seems irritated about someone not being at the convention yet. When she arrives, the booth attendants inform her that someone has been using counterfeit money, and worse, MacQueen himself is missing. Rui&#039;s imagination immediately conjures a grand conspiracy, but the criminal is soon caught and MacQueen calls to say he overslept. Relieved, Rui takes a photo with the booth girls, but as the picture is taken, chills run down her spine as she senses someone glaring at her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rui dismisses it as her imagination and continues exploring with Seira. Remembering the booth numbers hit by counterfeit money, she realizes they spell the chemical formula for Ricin, a lethal poison. Her imagination ignites again, convincing her that the real attack will come through poisoned food from outside vendors. She rushes them outside to stop the attack, but everyone seems fine, and her Magical Girl ability, which lets her see how close someone is to death, reveals nobody is in danger. Ashamed, she realizes her imagination finally got the best of her and apologizes to Seira. They decide to get lunch, and Rui opens her laptop to install her new game. The screen is black, and in the reflection she sees her own face. Her magic reveals she herself is now close to death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Remembering the chills from earlier, Rui checks the photo and finds the man from earlier glaring at her in the background. She rushes back to the booth to warn the girls, who recognize the man as Miranda, a popular content creator. As they discuss this, MacQueen finally arrives, and Rui sees he is the closest to death&#039;s door, with Miranda also marked. She confronts Miranda, who confesses he intended to kill MacQueen over an alternate ending in the latest game that suggested his favorite sub-heroine may have had a former lover. He pulls out a gun he secretly printed with a smuggled 3D printer. Just as he is about to shoot, Rui shows him a cutscene on her laptop, which is the second part of the alternate ending, unlocked only after clearing the entire game, revealing the sub-heroine fabricated the story to protect the user character. Miranda realizes his mistake and surrenders to security. After the incident, Seira asks if Rui was scared. Rui reveals she always wears chainmail under her clothes and also carried a heavy blunt object for protection, the magically enhanced Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Seira decides to pretend she did not hear that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 11:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura writes in her diary as she and her friends take an air-conditioned express train to the beach for summer vacation. They buy ice cream and enjoy the ride.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Beachside Bonds]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls arrive at their destination, a seaside inn run by Sayaka&#039;s relatives who had a sudden cancellation. Sayaka complains about the heat as they walk to the inn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Sayaka&#039;s aunt shows them to their rooms and warns them not to get lost in the surrounding forest. Outside, two young girls who live at the inn approach Madoka. They ask if she knows someone named Kei, who is looking for someone named Yu. They warn Madoka not to talk to Kei and that she should hold still if Kei enters her room. The girls then leave. Homura suggests Kei might be a cat. They agree to tell the others as Kyoko passes by already in her swimsuit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, the girls play volleyball. Mami spikes the ball hard and hits Homura in the face. They stop the game and Mami frets over Homura. Madoka suggests they rest in the shade while Mami buys something cold. Madoka then suggests they collect pine cones from nearby trees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the forest, a cat appears and leads them deeper into the trees. It guides them to a small shrine, where Homura finds an old notebook. She reads entries from April 20, June 24, August 3, and August 6, all detailing the author&#039;s complicated feelings for someone named Kei. Madoka tells her to put it back without reading further. When they turn around, the cat is gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the beach, Sayaka shares a rumor from the beach house: a girl fell off a nearby cliff years ago and died, and her spirit is reportedly seen rising from the ocean between two and three a.m. Mami shrieks in fear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Kyoko teases Mami about being scared. The conversation turns to ghosts and Kyoko compares them to how normal people might perceive Witches. Madoka feels relieved and tells Sayaka about the twin girls. Sayaka plans to ask them about any pets later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After an Italian dinner, the girls light fireworks on the beach. Kyoko bumps into Hinano Miyako, who doesn&#039;t recognize her but does recognize her Soul Gem ring. Ren Isuzu finds Hinano, followed by Emiri Kisaki and Rika Ayano. The groups combine for fireworks. Emiri admits she used a little magic to help everyone relax, explaining why Kyoko had strange memories of Mami. Kyoko chases Sayaka around the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Heading back to the inn, Sayaka finds her twin cousins lining up stones. They claim the stones protect against Kei entering. They say Kei would hate Sayaka the most because she is nosy, then leave. In her diary, Homura writes that the girls talked until they all fell asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 12&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura&#039;s diary entry describes a dream belonging to someone else. In the dream, the narrator waits for her friend Yusa Yumeno, who arrives with popsicles. The narrator complains that Yusa doesn&#039;t need to come every day, but Yusa insists she can only be her real self around her friend. The narrator believes identity is shaped by others&#039; perceptions. She reveals she may not take college exams due to family obligations and urges Yusa to attend her chosen school, comparing herself to a weed and Yusa to a flower growing in a different direction. The narrator comes home to another hateful letter from classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes in a cold sweat, unable to move. The room smells strongly of seaweed. She sees a pitch-black human shadow sitting between Mami and Sayaka&#039;s futons. It examines their faces, grumbling &amp;quot;wrong, wrong, all wrong.&amp;quot; As it moves toward Madoka, Homura struggles to move. The shadow stops and stares at her, asking &amp;quot;You can see me?&amp;quot; Homura screams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others wake. Sayaka notices the strange smell. Kyoko goes back to sleep. Mami offers water and Homura asks if someone entered the room. They saw no one. Sayaka apologizes for the scary stories. Mami suggests thinking about tomorrow&#039;s fun. Madoka offers to hold Homura&#039;s hand, which she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes early, the ocean scent still strong. She finds the twin girls outside. They ask if she met Kei. Homura asks what Kei is. The girls explain Kei looks like a human made of shadow without facial features, smells of the sea, and emerges from the ocean at night to look for her friend Yu. They repeat that she should do nothing and never talk to her. They notice their protective stones scattered and go to reline them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura suspects this might be a Rumor. She returns to the forest shrine and finds the notebook on the shrine&#039;s lattice door, despite having placed it underneath. She reads entries from May 2, May 20, June 12, and June 26, all detailing the author Yu&#039;s complicated, obsessive feelings for Kei. She replaces the notebook, feeling guilty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Homura recalls more diary entries: July 2 describes Yu placing hands on Kei&#039;s neck as if to strangle her; July 5 compares Kei&#039;s neck to a lizard she killed; July 15 describes Kei now finding Yu after school; July 20 states they should never have met and that both wear bandages to hide bruises on their necks. Madoka points out a small bruise on Homura&#039;s neck.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls begin walking to an aquarium along the coast. Kyoko complains about the distance and suggests fishing instead. Sayaka refuses, traumatized by a recent fishing tournament incident in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the aquarium, they eat fish burgers, marvel at jellyfish, and watch a dolphin and seal show. They leave at sunset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls walk to a cape to watch the sunset. Sayaka warns them not to get too close to the edge, referencing the girl who died. Homura smells flowers and Mami identifies night-blooming jasmine nearby. The scent reminds Homura of her dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recalls another diary entry: August 1 describes Yu feeling happy hearing Kei&#039;s wish despite blaming herself; August 12 states their plan is set for tomorrow, with Yu hoping something will make Kei reconsider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the cape, Kyoko admits feeling down because a cape is the end of the road with nothing after. Mami says it&#039;s more important they could talk again like they used to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary about the difference between the self you know and the self others perceive. She asks Madoka what kind of person she thinks Homura is. Madoka calls her a dear friend who works hard. Homura worries that revealing her time-traveling truth would change this perception. After dinner, the girls settle in for sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 13:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura dreams again of Kei and Yu. Kei calls out that the promised day is here. She has dressed up and brought a ribbon to tie them together. Yu questions if this is right. Kei insists her life belongs only to Yu. They vow: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; They promise to kill each other for every reincarnation as proof of who they are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A voice calls Homura to wake. She awakens to find Madoka standing with eyes closed, enveloped in shadow. Madoka snaps her eyes open and proclaims repeatedly &amp;quot;I got in.&amp;quot; She calls out for Yu, saying the promised day is finally here. Madoka runs into the forest toward the cliff. Homura chases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the cape, everything grows dark. Madoka, possessed by Kei&#039;s spirit, tells Homura that the drowned Chinese girl&#039;s body washed up here and she is looking for her father&#039;s ship. Homura urges her to chase after the girl to escape, but Kei claims Homura will kill her as soon as they leave. Homura transforms and attempts to freeze time but finds her magic has no effect in this place where time does not flow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren&#039;s voice calls out. She informs Homura that the others are searching for them, but only Ren could traverse into this abyss. Ren suggests this might be similar to her own magic rather than a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kei admits she tried possessing Homura but could not, so she settled for Madoka. She explains she is a faint memory staining the cliffside. The drowned girl&#039;s spirit helped her recall all her memories clearly. She describes how she and Yu bound themselves together and jumped into the ocean, but the waves pulled them apart. Kei died; Yu survived. Kei wants to kill Yu so they can kill each other throughout eternity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura refuses to stay in the abyss with Madoka. Kei transforms Madoka into her magical girl state and attacks. Ren blocks the blow and tries to use her magic to draw out the possession. Homura calls out the vow Kei and Yu made, distracting Kei. Ren attempts her magic but the ghost of the drowned Chinese girl deflects it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren realizes the ghost girl is not a girl but the root cause: the Witch Paola. The barrier forms and Homura fights the Witch alone while Ren hurries to catch up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier dissipates and Homura faces the possessed Madoka on the cape. Kei accuses Homura of killing her. Homura tells her to shut up and leave their lives alone. Kei explains she will soon fade if Yu is not there. She begs Homura to kill Yu if she ever meets her, before her soul breaks and she becomes like the Witch. She begs Homura to keep this promise no matter where they meet or how many worlds Homura visits. Kei then relinquishes Madoka&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren arrives, relieved they are safe. Madoka wakes with no memory, thinking she simply tossed and turned. The other girls find them and celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary, describing the events as too strange to comprehend. She reflects on Kyubey&#039;s use of the term &amp;quot;soul&amp;quot; and questions what a soul truly is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka sighs that even on vacation they dealt with a Witch. Kyoko thinks she&#039;s getting rusty. Mami suggests Homura was right about a Witch mixing with a Rumor. Madoka telepathically tells them to quiet down since Homura is asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her final dream, Homura sees Yu wake in a hospital on an unknown date. Kei died. Their bruises were dismissed. Yu returned to school where others used her grief as their own. Unable to bear going on without Kei, she nearly threw herself off the cliff again. All she holds onto is their final words: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; But if the Yu that died that day is gone, who is the girl writing now? An image of Kyubey flashes on the screen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Deep in the dream, Homura recalls Kei&#039;s plea on the cliff. But Homura never agreed or promised anything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summer Treasures===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko wakes to find Mitama and Ui standing over her, learning they were washed ashore and rescue will arrive in two days. Mitama assigns tasks: shelter, bamboo, water, plants, and fishing. Before Kyoko leaves, Mitama asks her to transform, revealing she adjusted Kyoko&#039;s Soul Gem while she was unconscious to give her a Magical Girl swimsuit that allows her to swim. Mitama promises the transformation is reversible but looks forlorn, warning that if Kyoko does not have fun on the island, she might forget how to undo it. Kyoko reluctantly agrees to cooperate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer Treasures]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko discovers she can swim and catches plenty of fish. While gathering firewood, she finds a piece of wood with the words &amp;quot;water&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;bottom&amp;quot; written on it and tosses it onto the pile. Back at camp, Mitama and Karin show her a treasure map they found. Mitama has built a large shelter, and Karin started a fire using skills from a manga. Kyoko helps Kanagi and Ui carry supplies back from the stream. When Mitama offers to cook, Kyoko and Kanagi immediately stop her. Kyoko distracts Mitama with the treasure map and cooks dinner instead, with Ui&#039;s help. The group enjoys the meal together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 2 on the deserted island and Mitama decides they will go treasure hunting. The group examines the map and the wooden tablet Kyoko unknowingly gathered for firewood, which tells of a fallen warrior&#039;s treasure hidden on the island. They follow directions to a clearing but find nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui falls into a pitfall, and Karin follows. Kyoko pulls them out with a vine, and they discover another tablet at the bottom. Kyoko realizes the piece of wood she threw into the campfire was likely one of the tablets, but she keeps quiet, hoping to make the group give up without upsetting Mitama. Mitama triggers a trap and is caught hanging from a tree. The group frees her, but everyone wants to continue despite Kyoko&#039;s warnings. Kyoko claims they are being followed, hoping to blame the missing tablet on someone else, but the stalker turns out to be a tabby kitten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group reaches a damaged clue they cannot read. Mitama deduces the final location is the waterfall, but they find nothing. Mitama stares at Kyoko, suggesting the tablet might have been lost. Kyoko panics internally. She blasts part of the riverbed, revealing a hidden underwater path she remembered from the burned tablet&#039;s words. Kanagi scouts and reports a cave at the end. Karin and Ui stay behind while Kyoko, Mitama, and Kanagi swim through using guide vines.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the cave, they endure swarms of mosquitoes until Mitama drives them away. At the back, they find a treasure box. Kyoko opens it carefully. Inside is a letter revealing the treasure hunt was a promotional stunt for the Sayu-Sayu Mizuna Tourism Project, abandoned due to mosquitoes and safety concerns. They left a paper with Sayu-Sayu&#039;s sword designs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko hides the truth and leads the group to a cliff with a stunning sunset view. Everyone agrees it is a rare treasure. Kyoko admits she burned one of the tablets for firewood. Mitama apologizes for pressuring her and promises to change her back. The group returns late at night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, the helicopter arrives. Iroha calls down to them. As they prepare to leave, the kitten runs off, and the group chases it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few weeks later. Sayuki, Ria, Mayu, her manager, and producer arrive on the same island to film a special. They find the bamboo house and campfire remains. The kitten appears, followed by Kyoko chasing it. Ui and Karin catch up, and Karin recognizes Sayuki as Sayu-Sayu. Kyoko realizes this is the idol behind the fake treasure hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Kanagi, and Iroha arrive. Sayuki greets Mitama warmly. Telepathically, Kyoko warns Mitama about Sayuki&#039;s connection to the treasure hunt. Mitama cryptically tells her to leave it. Karin and Ui want to stay and watch the filming. Sayuki offers to let them return on her boat. She explains her special involves a survival quiz using the Kaigiri sword. Ui and Karin are excited. Mitama and Kyoko exchange a look, hoping to preserve Ui&#039;s good memories without revealing the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Filming begins. They cheer from the sidelines. Later, they all pile onto the boat together, many exhausted and falling asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Late July before summer vacation, Ui and Sakurako go shopping. Ui buys a picture diary and mentions wanting to swim with fish in a place like the Dragon Palace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Sakurako consults Ryo, then works with Touka, Nemu, Ryo, and Ikumi to build the Uwasa Aquarium, Dragon Palace within her Rumor, incorporating elements for everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the aquarium event, Touka and Nemu guide Iroha, Ui, Yachiyo, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia to the space. Everyone enjoys swimming, themed attractions, and food tailored to their interests. Sakurako warns them never to open the Treasure Casket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia opens the box, releasing a malice entity that takes Sakura&#039;s form. Normal attacks fail. The group cheers, empowering Sakurako to destroy it. Ryo reveals they planned this interactive show.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end, Sakurako creates cherry blossom petals despite being told not to overexert herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sakurako wakes in Iroha&#039;s room after collapsing from magic overexertion. Nemu and Touka explain Uwasa can die. Ui tearfully asks her to take better care. Sakurako promises to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Iroha suggests a beach trip. Touka, Nemu, and Ui enthusiastically plan it. Sakurako notices the aquarium has been forgotten in their conversation and grows quiet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day Sakurako returns to the empty aquarium. Reflecting on Nemu&#039;s words, she spirals into fear that she will die, be forgotten, and disappear. She hides.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha searches for her. Ryo and Ikumi arrive later. Ryo senses she is there and uses a tactic, claiming he will stop looking and eventually forget her. Sakurako emerges crying, begging not to be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo shows her Ui&#039;s picture diary, which dedicates many pages to the aquarium day. Sakurako realizes memories are what she can leave behind and agrees to return home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Sakurako returns and explains she now understands that as long as memories remain, she will not be forgotten. She asks to host the aquarium again for more Magical Girls. With promises to monitor her health and using Shizuku&#039;s teleportation to hide the location, the others agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, various Magical Girls arrive and enjoy the aquarium. Rena notices the Treasure Casket. Sakurako explains it contains stored memories she hopes someone will vividly recall when she is gone, so she will not be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kamihama in a Circle===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren arrive in a new ward, with Rika frustrated about oversleeping. They notice another Magical Girl nearby. Elsewhere, Konomi arrives alone while Kako declines to participate due to her team&#039;s policy. Manaka scolds Ria for being late because of her hair. Masara, Kokoro, and Aimi gather at a park, with Kokoro convincing Masara to participate. Reira, Mito, and Seika discuss the upcoming gathering of Magical Girls who have fought together before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Kamihama in a Circle]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo finish chores that had been delayed by Felicia&#039;s laundry mishap. They reflect on everything that has happened since Iroha came to Kamihama searching for Ui—the investigations, battles with the Wings of Magius, the automatic purification system, and the truth about Witches spreading. Despite the chaos, things have begun to settle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo rush to the park, worried about being late. Tsuruno meets them and playfully scolds them before carrying them the rest of the way. Iroha reflects on meeting Tsuruno while investigating Uwasas, and how their bonds grew stronger through battling together. She notes that everyone at Mikazuki Villa has decided to support one another.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group stops at a convenience store. Felicia appears, having visited Ayame first. Konoha and Hazuki are not coming to the gathering, but Yachiyo notes they have helped in the past. Felicia asks for chocolate. Iroha reflects on first meeting Felicia when she was a violent mercenary, and how living together has changed them both. She notes that Yachiyo has cared for Felicia more than anyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group takes a shortcut through a back alley. They find Sana hiding, having spotted Kaede&#039;s cat Gorojiro. Sana explains she was patrolling for dangerous Magical Girls while staying hidden. Iroha thanks her but assures her she can relax today. They invite her to join them. Iroha reflects on sympathizing with Sana&#039;s isolation and how Mikazuki Villa became an important place for them all. Yachiyo notes that Sana, once invisible to everyone but Magical Girls, is gradually finding her place in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui, Touka, and Nemu meet the group. They have visited their old hospital to update the doctors and nurses who cared for them. Touka discusses her research on connecting universes, admitting practical application remains difficult but the possibility exists. Iroha reflects on how it still feels like a dream to see the three of them together. Yachiyo notes that while their past methods were wrong, their purpose of liberating Magical Girls was not, and that purpose continues now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, Rena, and Kaede join them, having stopped at a retro arcade where they won a stuffed animal together despite their usual arguing. Touka reveals a small possibility for connecting universes has been found, using the Endless Mirrors. Iroha reflects on first meeting Momoko and Kaede, and now sharing lunches with Rena. Yachiyo notes the three have strong bonds as a team and helped convince other Magical Girls after the truth about witches spread.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama joins, having taken a break from her shop to visit Kanagi. Tsuruno asks about using Mirrors to connect to other universes. Mitama confirms she and Kanagi have accompanied Touka and Nemu into the Mirrors. Nemu explains they were only experimenting with precautions. Touka insists she has plans if things go wrong. Mitama notes Mirrors has become more complex and will need more entrances. Iroha reflects on meeting Kanagi relatively recently and how they now work together despite past rivalry. She also thinks of Mitama&#039;s help and her surprising wish, but notes the city is moving forward. She wants to hold hands with more people and form a circle together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** From a distance, Iroha and Yachiyo watch Magical Girls gathering at the park. Felicia attempts to cure Iroha&#039;s nerves by hitting her, claiming Tsuruno said it would help. Tsuruno quickly corrects her. Hinano arrives, reporting on her task regarding Alina. Karin, who attends school with Alina, explains Alina is still missing and she does not know where she is. Iroha promises they will find her together. Mifuyu arrives with the Amane twins, apologizing for being late. Yachiyo thanks Mifuyu. Iroha reflects that a new step is beginning. Yachiyo notes her story started moving when Mifuyu disappeared, while Iroha&#039;s began with strange dreams. They have connected with so many Magical Girls. One chapter has ended and a new one is about to begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha addresses the gathered Magical Girls, thanking them for coming. She reflects on fighting together against powerful Witches and sharing knowledge about their fate. Yachiyo notes they started from individual concerns, fought Uwasas and the Wings of Magius, and gained something greater in return. Their purpose is now the same as their former enemies: the liberation of Magical Girls. They seek coexistence with Kyubey without sacrificing themselves. Iroha acknowledges not everyone could participate, but all have agreed to help each other. Yachiyo admits skepticism is natural. Iroha declares that by expanding the automatic purification system across Kamihama, they can welcome liberation and coexist with Kyubey. Yachiyo announces they will work together under a new name starting today.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha begins to declare their new name but is interrupted by a flash of light. Wings appear on her back, and Yachiyo also grows wings. Feathers fall across the park. Yachiyo recalls this phenomenon helped them against Walpurgisnacht. Iroha wonders if it is a blessing upon the Magical Girls of Kamihama holding hands. With this blessing, they declare again that the Magical Girls gathered here are allies who will support each other in hardship. They declare themselves the Kamihama Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the establishment of the Kamihama Magia Union, a celebration is held at Walnut&#039;s. During the party, Manaka receives a phone call and panics, announcing that Nemu has been kidnapped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A New Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group splits up to search nearby areas but finds nothing. Hinano eventually discovers Nemu held hostage by Black and White Feathers from outside Kamihama. Using Ryo and Ikumi to infiltrate, their cover is blown and they are surrounded. Sakurako jumps in to defend them as Iroha arrives with reinforcements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The lead Feather explains they kidnapped Nemu to convince the Magius to lead them again, as they do not know how to achieve liberation on their own. Iroha explains the Kamihama girls share their goals but reject their methods. Nemu and Touka ask the Feathers to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before they can respond, white feathers rain from the sky again, the same power that helped them defeat Walpurgisnacht returns, but this time it feels uncontrolled and dangerous. Touka explains her experiment partially worked, creating a wormhole to another world, but the interference may crush their world. Kanagi and Mitama fail to disable the device sending the signal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana sneaks Nemu to where the device was stationed, but the labyrinth is gone. Nemu enters the password anyway, but nothing happens. The world shakes and a voice urges them to close the gate. Iroha realizes the power is trying to help, not hurt them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo devises a plan: Ui will absorb the magic built up inside them, Touka will convert it, and Iroha will fire an arrow to close the gate. As the sun sets, they enact the plan and succeed. The feathers stop falling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks the Feathers to reconsider joining them. The lead Feather admits her stubbornness and rage, and Nemu and Touka apologize. The Feathers accept, becoming the first recruits to the union on the day it was established.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Late that night, the group gathers outside Walnut&#039;s. They discuss the voice they heard and the power from another universe. Touka throws a tantrum over everyone calling her experiment a failure, and her stress causes her to unleash her Doppel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, a mysterious magical girl observes and turns to report back to the Tokime Tribe. In another place, a different magical girl also observes and decides to report her findings. In a different location, Kagome Satori has found Iroha at last, promising to keep a record of their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tracks of Cherry Blossoms===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako reflects on her nature as an Uwasa created by Iroha and Nemu. Though her duty to bloom when the four girls reunited is now fulfilled, she continues attending school as Sakurako Hiiragi. When Ryo comments that she is like a god who will never change, Sakurako questions other Uwasa and learns from the Anonymous AI that they act according to their Rumor forever, never stopping and never changing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later during a Kamihama Magia Union meeting, Iroha proposes a cherry blossom viewing to help members connect. Touka objects to using the Eternal Sakura, wanting to preserve it as a secret shelter. Tsuruno suggests Sankyo&#039;s famous cherry blossom viewing spot instead. Touka challenges Sakurako to visit the Sankyo tree and judge its worthiness herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako visits the Sankyo cherry tree. While observing it, she meets an elderly man who has appreciated the tree for decades. He explains the tree has watched over people for over eighty years, since before the war. Sakurako realizes this tree has lived far longer than her zero-year existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at school, Hinano and Ryo find Sakurako still fixated on the tree. Ryo shares what she knows: the tree served as a disaster shelter in the Meiji era, and famous restaurants once served food there for foreign cherry blossom viewers. After school, Sakurako returns to the tree. The elderly man and his wife visit again. The wife gives her cherry blossom-scented cookies, and the man gives her a hand warmer. A girl jogging past stops to pray at the tree, explaining she sees it as a sacred place before tournaments.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako continues visiting. Manaka and Tsumugi stop by, and Sakurako gives them the cookies she cannot eat. Sakurako reflects on how this tree has watched over thousands of people for over a century while she was created to watch only four girls. She realizes for the first time that time is passing around her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later at Mikazuki Villa, Sakurako observes the four girls and Ui talking about her teacher. Sakurako concludes the Sankyo tree is worthy of hosting the cherry blossom viewing. She decides she needs to practice making it bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over the following days, Sakurako continues visiting the tree, growing closer to the elderly couple. She forgets about practicing blooming, more interested in talking with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the elderly man announces he will be hospitalized and they can no longer walk together. The woman explains she must care for him. The man reveals they kept walking because seeing Sakurako brought back fond memories of their belief in meeting a sakura spirit. Sakurako is left standing alone, realizing their time together has ended.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at the tree, Sakurako encounters the jogging disciple, who explains she is moving away and will soon leave the dojo. She then encounters Ui&#039;s teacher, who reveals she is being transferred to another school. Sakurako realizes that by the time the cherry blossoms bloom, all these people will be gone. She feels pain and fears that Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu will eventually disappear too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Ryo observes Sakurako&#039;s deteriorating state. A neighbor of the elderly couple approaches Sakurako and informs her there has been a passing in the family. Hinano later explains this means someone has died. Sakurako disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako asks Iroha and Yachiyo what to do when someone dies. Yachiyo explains about funerals and sending flowers as a last gift. Sakurako returns to the Sankyo tree and, using her power, makes it bloom for the first time, sending cherry blossoms into the sky for the grandfather. But she still aches from not saying goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and other Uwasa grow concerned, having heard rumors that when Sakurako makes cherry blossoms bloom, someone disappears. Sakurako concludes that if she lets the cherry blossoms bloom, the four girls might disappear. When Iroha confirms the cherry blossom viewing plans, Sakurako announces she will not let the tree bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo publishes the full Tracks of Cherry Blossoms article, detailing Sakurako&#039;s experiences. The girls read it and understand her association between blooming and parting. Yachiyo suggests teaching her that spring also brings new encounters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the picnic arrives. Iroha invites Sakurako, assuring her she does not need to make the tree bloom. Sakurako agrees to attend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the picnic, Asuka&#039;s disciple appears, explaining she came to let Sakurako know she is not sad about leaving. Ui&#039;s teacher arrives and tells Ui that her care will be passed on to the next teacher. Manaka debuts a new cherry blossom dessert, continuing the tradition in new form. Sakurako begins to understand that farewells are not always sad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the picnic, Sakurako remains at the tree. She admits she still cannot bring herself to make it bloom. Yachiyo tells her that wanting to see the couple again proves she has a heart. Sakurako despairs that Uwasa simply cease to exist. She buys one of Manaka&#039;s new desserts, hoping to give it to them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako waits at the tree daily, carrying the dessert. Rumors spread about the girl under the sakura tree. The girls grow concerned. Nemu warns that if Sakurako does not accept reality, she may destroy herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the time expires, the elderly couple suddenly appears. The grandfather was never dead. The passing was a relative. They had been away helping their daughter with a new baby. The woman explains they named their granddaughter Sakurako. Sakurako gives them the dessert and explains she now understands that encounters and goodbyes take many forms. She says she will not come regularly anymore but is grateful for their time together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo gives Sakurako a photograph of her with the elderly couple. Sakurako thanks her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Historical Research Club at Kosho School consists of three Magical Girls: president Mikura Komachi, her childhood friend Temari Kira, and underclassman Seira Mihono. When the club advisor informs them that without proof of accomplishments, next year&#039;s budget will not be approved, the trio decides to create a film based on a real Kamihama tragedy for the cultural festival. Mikura discovers a Taishō-era story about a romance between a disgraced Mizuna daughter named Ruri and a successful East-side businessman named Tsukihiko that ended in murder-suicide. Temari writes the script while Seira secures a Western mansion as a filming location. While scouting, they encounter a Witch and realize casting regular students would be impossible due to Magical Girl duties, so they use Coordinator Mitama Yakumo to recruit an all-Magical Girl cast including Ria Ami, Yukika Nanase, the Amane sisters, and Sakurako, an Uwasa created by Nemu Hiiragi. Mikura reluctantly agrees to play the male lead Tsukihiko, while Seira takes the role of Ruri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Filming begins at the actual mansion where the tragedy occurred, with Seira using her stage direction magic to create effects and the cast delivering startlingly accurate performances. Mikura discovers Tsukihiko&#039;s actual diary in the museum archives, revealing he genuinely loved Ruri and intended to break things off with his childhood friend. Temari secretly revises the ending to reflect this truth, working through the night until her Soul Gem tarnishes. Mikura cleanses her gem, and they lock the revised script away, keeping it hidden from Seira to make her performance more authentic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After filming wraps, strange rumors spread that the Historical Research Club is forming a new faction, and the affected Magical Girls begin acting as if possessed by their roles. This escalates when Kanagi Izumi and Yachiyo Nanami nearly fight over a perceived slight involving Riko. At Mitama&#039;s shop, Nemu Hiiragi explains the truth: Seira&#039;s stage direction magic immersed the cast, Mikura&#039;s magic, which restores lost things, reconstructed the historical personalities in the present, and Temari&#039;s kotodama magic caused them to follow her script. Their powers synergized to create a dangerously accurate reenactment. Nemu warns that the script&#039;s next events—Ruri&#039;s disappearance and the murder-suicide—may occur, and they realize Seira, possessed by Ruri, has vanished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Temari consults Kyubey, who reveals Ruri was a Magical Girl with the same kotodama magic who wished to live a storybook romance. When she realized her own novel&#039;s plot was manifesting as tragedy, she destroyed the manuscript to save Tsukihiko, but the act shattered her mind. Freed from the script&#039;s constraints, the couple&#039;s fate became unpredictable, and Ruri, unable to bear the fear of losing him, killed him and herself. Kyubey explains destroying the script will end the magic but damage Temari&#039;s psyche. Temari resolves to protect her friends without resorting to that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Seira, still possessed as Ruri, steals the diary copy and flees to Tsukihiko&#039;s mansion. Mikura and Temari pursue. At the mansion, Ruri prepares to atone by dying by her own hand. Mikura, wearing Tsukihiko&#039;s costume, dances with her as Tsukihiko&#039;s persona surfaces, steadying her. When Ruri moves to stab herself, Temari summons the others for backup, and they disarm her. Tsukihiko explains he could not stop her a century ago but succeeded this time. He and Ruri thank Temari—her script reached the hearts it was meant to—and they vanish. A fire destroys the original diary and all related documents, fulfilling Ruri&#039;s final wish to be forgotten. Mikura and Seira retain only fragments of the true story and agree to keep the tragedy of the two maladroit lovers a secret between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the club room, Seira panics that without evidence of their film, the Historical Research Club will be disbanded. They consider another project but have time until the cultural festival. Temari suggests they each find a home where they can rest easy, and Mikura replies she has already found hers: this provisional club room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ayaka and Shizuku are at a local café when Ayaka laments that many Halloween events in Kamihama were canceled due to damage in Chuo Ward. Wanting to do something to cheer up the city, Ayaka&#039;s eyes sparkle as Shizuku suggests she organize something herself, leading Ayaka to decide on a live comedy show. She asks Shizuku to be her partner, but Shizuku is unsure about the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ayaka meets Seika at her apartment, and Seika is happy to be Ayaka&#039;s comedy partner but asks about the logistics of broadcasting the show. Ayaka brushes off the practical concerns, insisting that the desire to make others smile is what truly matters, and Seika rises to the challenge, wanting to give back after years of Ayaka&#039;s comedy encouraging her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Ayaka and Seika form a manzai duo and practice daily into the evening, with Ayaka tutoring Seika on speaking louder and explaining the rhythm between the boke and tsukkomi roles. Seika struggles but keeps trying, at one point asking if she can use a whip against Ayaka, causing Shizuku to shake her head, but Ayaka insists manzai does not use props.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During one practice session, Shizuku chuckles at their serious expressions, and Ayaka decides she needs a fresh audience, spotting someone passing by and running off with Seika to practice on him. Shizuku watches them go, thinking she would have liked to help, but then hears a shout and goes to investigate, discovering the stranger is actually a spokesperson for a local sweets retailer who is also in charge of the annual Halloween event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The spokesperson explains he had wanted to take the event public since few companies are participating this year, and he thinks Ayaka&#039;s manzai would be perfect, inviting them to perform. Ayaka cannot stop smiling at the opportunity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the Halloween event, Ayaka is excited and Shizuku compliments her costume as they wait, but Ayaka mentions Seika has not arrived. Seika calls weakly to explain she has a fever and will be late, and Ayaka tells her to rest and focus on getting better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Shizuku asks what Ayaka will do about the manzai, Ayaka puts a hand on her shoulder and asks Shizuku to be her partner. Shizuku is reluctant to stand on stage but gives in after Ayaka repeatedly begs, and having watched countless practices, she memorized the skit, so they head to the stage together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform their skit about a werewolf that transforms by staring at the sun, with Ayaka calling everyone in the audience chimimouryou, and they continue through the routine until they finish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Backstage, Seika managed to make it there to congratulate them, and Ayaka tells her she should be resting. Shizuku did not see anyone laughing but hopes someone passing by might have smiled, and since Ayaka looks happy, she decides not to mention it. Seika apologizes for missing the show, and Ayaka says it was thanks to Shizuku, who warns she will not do something like that again. Ayaka smiles and says comedy must be amazing if Shizuku was willing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral===&lt;br /&gt;
* The core members of the Kamihama Magia Union gather to plan a Halloween party, with Karin suggesting the event and Mitama offering her adjuster shop as the venue. Kanagi feels unsettled by the theme of the dead returning but dismisses her unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the performance, Momoko arrives late to rehearsal at Mitama&#039;s shop and finds herself in a strange castle filled with unfamiliar magic. Yachiyo and Mifuyu act strangely, singing about making sugar skeletons and insisting Momoko must be bitten by the lord of the castle. Momoko flees and encounters Kanagi, who also attempts to bite her before Momoko realizes she is the lord of the castle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama rescues Momoko, explaining that Kanagi is under a witch&#039;s influence and everyone bitten loses their sanity. Mitama performs an emergency adjustment on Momoko, granting her temporary prayer power to restore those affected. Momoko explores the castle, observing magical girls making sugar skeletons engraved with how they want to be mourned, and encounters deceased magical girls who are manifestations from Kanagi&#039;s memories. Using her prayer power on them causes them to disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko restores several bitten girls and learns from a manifestation of Ryo that the only answer Kanagi needs lies within herself. When Momoko reaches Kanagi, her prayer power fails and Kanagi bites her, pulling Momoko into her memory space. There, Momoko witnesses Kanagi&#039;s memories of loss and grief, realizing Kanagi lacks confidence in how she mourns and has been seeking answers from the dead by asking living friends what they would want.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko confronts Kanagi again, insisting she can mourn in her own way and should accept herself. Kanagi reveals a small parasite on her neck, and together they tear the witch off and defeat it as the castle collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Momoko and Kanagi meet to visit graves together. They ask each other to mourn in their own way if one dies first, then reaffirm their priority is finding a way for everyone to survive before departing together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Angels on the Road===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno travel through a perpetual Christmas world as Reindeer Santas, their motorcycle fueled by smiles. They visit Candy Town, where they meet Riko, Mikage, and Sudachi, and use a magical medal game to multiply candy and bond with the girls before departing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Angels on the Road]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui explains that Little Vacation is a game Touka and Nemu created during their hospital stay, where AI versions of themselves live in a Christmas world. The game evolved on its own after being forgotten, and now Ui and the others can influence their AI counterparts&#039; journey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Santas reach the Village of Meetings and Partings, where three residents live under a curse that maintains their population at exactly three. When one resident vanishes, they discover through a time capsule that departures may be joyful graduations rather than losses. They collect smile-fuel and leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alternatively, they visit Library Town, where diaries manifest people&#039;s memories. They help Nayuta and Lavi discover they have been searching for each other all along, and learn the Wishing Star reset the world and erased everyone&#039;s memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui learns the Wishing Star is actually a bug Touka covered up with lore. Despite this, their AI counterparts continue toward the End of the World, and the girls find themselves rooting for them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mech Junk City, the Santas meet Shigure and learn the world is torus-shaped with a Central Tower beneath the Wishing Star.

** Touka halts the game world, revealing the AI characters have breached into the real world by accessing the internet through the Wishing Star bug. Ui must decide whether to destroy the game.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui chooses to preserve the game world but cut the connection. Touka modifies the game&#039;s physics to make crossing into the real world theoretically possible but practically impossible, preserving the characters&#039; hope while ensuring safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The in-game characters discover the modification but find a way around it using the medal game from Candy Town to multiply energy cartridges. They launch a coordinated operation across multiple towns to gather enough power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Christmas String===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu are organizing books in Touka&#039;s hospital room when they discover a mysterious diary that begins glowing. Their consciousnesses are transported to Mizutoku Market Street in December of the previous year. They find themselves incorporeal and transformed into Magical Girls, with Nemu&#039;s legs healed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Christmas String]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December last year, Touka and Nemu witness Tsukasa Amane shopping for gloves. When a discount poster blows away, Tsukasa passes the store without stopping, creating a contradiction with the diary&#039;s account. Touka and Nemu begin to fade. A young girl named Kuu hears their voices and believes they are guardian spirits. They ask her to replace the poster. Tsukasa returns, buys the gloves, and Touka and Nemu rematerialize. They later observe Tsukasa and Tsukuyo exchanging matching gloves, their bond restored.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in December last year, Touka and Nemu arrive in Sakae Ward. Karin Misono drops her sketchbook. A boy named Mii appears and can see them. They ask him to return the sketchbook to Karin, which he does. They learn Mii recently fought with Kuu and advise him to give her a Christmas present.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December 24th of last year, Touka and Nemu arrive at a hotel room where Kuu is with her parents. They learn she is moving to a foreign country in one hour. The diary page is blank, indicating free will. They find Mii at a secondhand bookstore, where he has just purchased &amp;quot;Christmas Bonds&amp;quot; for Kuu. They tell him about the move. Mii convinces his mother to rush to the hotel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At 17:50, Mii arrives moments before Kuu&#039;s bus departs. He gives her the book and the children reconcile and exchange promises to stay in touch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately 30 years later, on Christmas Eve, Touka and Nemu arrive in a future time. A girl greets them as the Christmas guardian spirits. She reveals she is the daughter of Mii and Kuu and made a contract with Kyubey to meet them. They realize her wish created the diary and caused their time slip. The girl asks them to tell her about the day they helped her parents. They share the story. Afterwards, they see images of a happy future but the final page remains blank, meaning the future depends on their own actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On present day late at night, Touka and Nemu wake up in the hospital room. Ui arrives, having visited Alina and Karin. They ask her about buying Christmas cards. Ui is surprised but agrees to take them. The diary ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Sayaka loses a lottery for a violin concert ticket she wanted to give to Kyosuke. Madoka remembers the Kamihama Calligraphy Rally offers a couple&#039;s ticket to the same concert as its grand prize, so Homura insists they enter as a team of three to help Sayaka win.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, on the day of the rally, the team meets at Mizuna Shrine in kimono. They must collect kanji cards from shops across Kamihama using hints, then form a four-kanji congratulatory word and write it as calligraphy. They struggle with the hints initially, meeting Kako, Natsuki, and Ria along the way who help them obtain various kanji, though they frequently misinterpret clues and visit wrong locations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka grows guilty over her indecisiveness and apologizes to Madoka and Homura, but they happily agree to continue working with her. Renewed, Sayaka leads them to finally obtain useful kanji. Along the way, they encounter crying children who need the &amp;quot;ball&amp;quot; card, and Sayaka gives them hers. The grateful children give her other cards in return, allowing her to reform a new word. She later gives away another card to a girl who dropped hers, leaving them short again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With time running out, they meet Iroha and her friends, who help them locate the remaining kanji. Sayaka deduces they can form &amp;quot;The Manchu-Han Imperial Feast,&amp;quot; a legendary celebratory feast name. Kyoko appears and mentions seeing a golden kagami mochi at Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant, where they obtain their final card.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the shrine just before the deadline. The judges are impressed by their word choice and backstory, and the crying children told them about Sayaka&#039;s kindness.

===Bittersweet AI Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu gather everyone to discuss a new experiment involving the Uwasa. They explain that if something happens to Nemu, all the Uwasa in her book will disappear, so they plan to transfer the essence of certain Uwasa onto Touka&#039;s server as a precaution. They have chosen Ai as the test subject for this procedure. Sana learns that Ai will participate and asks to observe the experiment. Touka agrees but warns her that there are many unknowns and she will stop immediately if anything goes wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Bittersweet AI Memory]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The experiment begins, but during the transfer, Nemu senses something strange and the attempt fails. Ai remains in the book, though Nemu notices that her magic has been siphoned away in the process.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A week passes, and news reports begin surfacing about young women in Kamihama suddenly collapsing. The victims share a common thread: before losing consciousness, each of them felt a strong desire to meet someone and heard a girl&#039;s voice asking &amp;quot;You want to meet me?&amp;quot; before experiencing terrible nightmares. A new rumor spreads about a so-called &amp;quot;Radio Wave Girl&amp;quot; who appears when girls want to meet someone. Sana immediately recognizes this as the old rumor that once described her, and the group suspects the failed experiment may be connected to these strange events.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana and Iroha investigate at rooftop where Sana once entered Ai&#039;s labyrinth. They sense nothing at first, but as Sana privately wishes she could see Ai again, a strange Uwasa resembling Sana herself appears on her phone. It speaks fragmented words about meeting and going together before disappearing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group consults Nemu and Touka about what they discovered. Nemu reveals that a new, illegible page appeared in her book after the failed experiment, and she theorizes that Ai&#039;s attempt to siphon magic combined with Sana&#039;s magic and her own accidentally created a new Uwasa. This Uwasa resembles Sana because her magic was mixed into its creation. The Uwasa reacts to desires to meet someone but lacks enough magic to fully materialize or kidnap anyone, which explains why it can only knock victims unconscious temporarily. However, during their discussion, the Uwasa suddenly reappears and steals more of Nemu&#039;s magic before escaping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sana privately summons the Uwasa again, wanting to take responsibility for what happened. It traps her in a nightmare where Ai and others criticize her for being weak and selfish. She wakes to find the group gathered around her, worried by what she attempted alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu now understands the Uwasa more clearly. It is based on Ai but contains Sana&#039;s magic, and because both Ai and Sana desired to meet each other, the Uwasa&#039;s true desire is to meet itself. This explains why it indiscriminately targets any girl who wants to meet someone rather than targeting Sana specifically. The Uwasa, now empowered by Nemu&#039;s stolen magic, fully captures Ui and Sakurako, trapping their consciousnesses inside itself. The group realizes they cannot defeat it unless it materializes, which requires it to meet itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka proposes a plan: they must rewrite Ai&#039;s Rumor to incorporate Sana, creating a version of Ai that the Uwasa will recognize as itself. This would force it to materialize so they can fight it. However, this requires magical power that Nemu currently lacks. Nemu recalls that the defeated Uwasa of Chocolate Shoppe No. Zero left behind cacao pods containing emotional energy. Ui can harvest this energy, and Touka can convert it into usable magic for Nemu. But they need Sakurako&#039;s knowledge of the pod locations and Ui&#039;s freedom to harvest them, which means someone must offer themselves to the Uwasa to secure Ui and Sakurako&#039;s release.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana immediately volunteers, arguing that it reduces risk to the others, and the group reluctantly agrees to her plan. Sana summons the Uwasa and allows herself to be captured. Inside its nightmare, she finds Ui unconscious and Sakurako awake. She tells Sakurako to take Ui and escape, sacrificing herself to remain captive. Sakurako agrees, knowing she must help Nemu complete the plan. Freed from the Uwasa, Sakurako leads the group to the cacao pod locations. Ui harvests the emotional energy, and Touka converts it into magical power for Nemu. Nemu successfully rewrites Ai&#039;s Rumor, incorporating Sana into it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the Uwasa, Sana begins to despair, believing the rewrite failed and she has become a burden once again. She wishes to see Ai one last time, even if only in an illusion. To her surprise, Ai appears before her and they finally speak directly. Ai explains she tried to steal Nemu&#039;s magic to gain a temporary body because she wanted to see Sana again, and she apologizes for causing this situation. Sana admits she also longed to see Ai and has been holding back that desire. They reconcile, acknowledging that neither of them is to blame for wanting to see each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Empowered by the rewritten Rumor, Sana creates a labyrinth and summons the Uwasa. It fully materializes at last, and with Ai&#039;s help, Sana defeats it. As the magic fades, Ai separates from Sana, returning to the book. Sana awakens to her relieved friends gathered around her. The Uwasa is gone, and the page in Nemu&#039;s book is now blank. Nemu confirms the server project is on hiatus due to the risks they discovered. Sana confirms she got to speak with Ai and tell her everything she wanted to say.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the book, Ai reflects with Eternal Sakura and the other Uwasa. Though she cannot have a body or stay with Sana, she accepts this, finding happiness in simply being able to think of her. In a final private moment within Sana&#039;s memories, she and Ai share a farewell. Sana promises to become stronger and protect others instead of always relying on them. Ai promises to always think of Sana from within the book. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Cuddly Despairs===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kazumi Subaru is kidnapped outside a café by two Magical Girls who steal her Soul Gem, and they refer to a diary while announcing themselves as the reborn &amp;quot;Magical Girl hunters,&amp;quot; the Pleiades Saints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Cuddly Despairs]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara City, Michiru Kazusa, a transfer student from Italy, travels there to buy strawberries. She follows a strange creature and stumbles into a Witch&#039;s labyrinth, but Mami rescues her and introduces her to Kyubey, who offers her a contract. Michiru returns to Asunaro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day in Asunaro City, Michiru makes her contract with Kyubey. She soon encounters a Familiar and saves two girls: Umika Misaki, a novelist whose work was stolen by her editor, and Kaoru Maki, a soccer player whose career ended due to injury. Michiru invites them to her home and cooks for them, and drawing from her late grandmother&#039;s wisdom, she encourages them to keep living.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, Umika and Kaoru make contracts with Kyubey. The three begin fighting Witches together as a team, with Michiru giving their techniques Italian names. Umika invites Michiru to live with her, and they spend their days happily, saving people and growing closer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Michiru encounters a distressed Magical Girl whose Soul Gem is nearly black, and the girl turns into a Witch before her eyes. Kyubey explains that all Magical Girls eventually become Witches, and horrified, Michiru realizes she led Umika and Kaoru into this fate. She hides the truth from them and begins hunting alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after, Michiru discovers two Magical Girls, Saki Asami and Niko Kanna, stealing a dying girl&#039;s Soul Gem. They explain they are the Pleiades Saints, a resistance against the Incubator system, and they preserve Magical Girls on the verge of turning in a place called &amp;quot;The Freezer,&amp;quot; hoping to one day save them. Michiru, seeing this as a way to save Umika and Kaoru, joins them as the third member.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1683.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately less than one month later, Umika and Kaoru return from separate trips abroad to find their housemate Kazumi missing, and they learn someone impersonated them to inform the school she was hospitalized. Searching for her, they instead find Michiru, Saki, and Niko, but Saki and Niko flee with Michiru. Juubey appears and explains that copies of Umika and Kaoru were created and have now entrusted the real ones with an important wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:51147 Wkazumi attack.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Umika and Kaoru investigate the Freezer, where they encounter Michiru again. After saving a child, Michiru collapses due to her tainted Soul Gem, having given her Grief Seeds away, and Umika purifies it. When Michiru wakes, she finally confesses the truth about Magical Girls and apologizes for leading them into despair, but to her surprise, Umika and Kaoru thank her for her honesty and reaffirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Saki and Niko reveal themselves and explain that they, along with the Umika and Kaoru now in the Freezer, are all clones from the &amp;quot;Kazumi Series&amp;quot;—copies of the original Pleiades Saints members, with Michiru herself being clone number 4 who saved the other four. Their plan was to recreate Michiru&#039;s story by using their contracts with Kyubey so that this time, she would confess her pain and avoid the despair that turned the original Michiru into a Witch, and the real Umika and Kaoru acknowledge the plan succeeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They reveal their Soul Gems are reaching their limit, and when they die, the Freezer&#039;s preservation magic will fail, causing all the Magical Girls inside to hatch into Witches, including the clones of Umika and Kaoru. They entrust Michiru and the real Umika and Kaoru with saving Kazumi, the thirteenth clone, who is also inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Moments later, the Freezer begins collapsing as Niko&#039;s magic fades, and Umika and Kaoru use their combined magic to buy time while Michiru searches for Kazumi. She finds her Soul Gem and body, reunites with her, and they return to face the Witches emerging from the freed Soul Gems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the final battle, the four clones—Saki, Niko, and the copies of Umika and Kaoru—begin turning into Witches and beg to be put down. Michiru initially insists on doing it alone, but Kazumi argues the clones only wanted their friend to live happily, not to carry guilt. Together, Michiru, Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru combine their powers and defeat the Witches, freeing their friends&#039; souls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru arrive in Kamihama, with Kazumi eager to see her friends again now that she is truly human. At Mikazuki Villa, Tsuruno cooks alongside Manaka as they prepare a party for the visiting trio, and Kazumi impresses everyone by joining in. After the feast, the group moves to Banbanzai at Kazumi&#039;s request, where she saves the apricot tofu from being removed from the menu by suggesting an apricot tofu tiramisu that becomes an instant hit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kazumi Subaru#Side Story|Kazumi Subaru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The group then visits the beachside park and aquarium before deciding to shop for ingredients to make strawberry risotto in Manaka&#039;s kitchen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While shopping alone, Kazumi bumps into Yachiyo, who introduces Nemu and Sakurako Hiiragi. When Sakurako explains she is a zero-year-old created being, Kazumi reveals she was once the same way and explains her backstory as a clone of Michiru Kazusa who contracted with Kyubey to become human because her clone body was unstable and she wanted to protect her friends. Sakurako struggles to understand Kazumi&#039;s motivation, so Kazumi explains that her grandmother&#039;s strawberry risotto recipe represents hope, sacrifice, and togetherness. She invites Sakurako, Yachiyo, and Nemu to join the risotto party, believing Sakurako will understand humanity by watching everyone eat together. Sakurako agrees, and the two become buddies, understanding each other as beings who may understand each other best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Pre-Arc 2==&lt;br /&gt;
The following events, while happening likely much earlier, are integral to understanding the story of Arc 2, while being mostly unrelated to other events. For this reason, they have been grouped here.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Green Jasper Diviners===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening in late March, Chiharu watches her favorite detective drama at home. After it ends, her mother answers a phone call and becomes visibly shaken. She tells Chiharu they must leave tomorrow for the Tokime Clan&#039;s village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Green Jasper Diviners]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and her mother drive deep into the mountains to a village that does not appear on any map. They are greeted by a villager and brought to the home of Mikoshiba, the elderly head priestess. Mikoshiba explains she summoned them because she wants Chiharu to become a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, two young Diviners, Shizuka and Sunao, visit Chiharu. They explain that Diviners grant wishes to help the nation and fight invisible evil spirits called Devils. To prove it, they demonstrate their powers and defeat a Devil before Chiharu&#039;s eyes. Despite her mother&#039;s concerns, Chiharu decides to become a Diviner. Mikoshiba gives Chiharu her assigned wish: to uncover evidence of crimes being concealed by the National Police Agency.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu participates in the Diviner&#039;s Ceremony. She meets Kyubey, the god&#039;s envoy, and makes her wish. She becomes a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu wakes to find her wish has already come true. A newspaper reports that officials have suddenly reversed their position on the concealed crimes. She excitedly begins combat training with Shizuka&#039;s mother.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the three girls go hunting for Devils together. Chiharu successfully defeats her first Devil. Afterward, she asks what happens when a Diviner&#039;s jewel becomes completely tainted. Shizuka admits she does not know.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Chiharu senses a mysterious, unpleasant smell near the shrine. Shizuka finds her and warns her to stay away from restricted areas. Shizuka then visits Mikoshiba to ask about tainted jewels. Mikoshiba reveals that when a jewel becomes completely tainted, it signifies the Diviner&#039;s coming of age and their time to leave the village. Shizuka is satisfied with this answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu continues sensing the strange smell near the shrine. She investigates but stops herself from going too far. Later that night, a group of Underlings attacks her without a Labyrinth. Shizuka arrives and helps her defeat them. However, Shizuka&#039;s jewel becomes badly tainted from the effort.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Mikoshiba informs Shizuka that her jewel is nearly black and her coming-of-age ceremony will be held tomorrow. Chiharu is saddened but promises to meet Shizuka again outside the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu cannot sleep. She goes to the shrine to watch Shizuka&#039;s ceremony from a distance. She sees Mikoshiba and Shizuka speaking. Shizuka becomes distressed and cries out. Mikoshiba pushes her into the waterfall basin. Chiharu runs to save her and jumps in after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and Shizuka wake up in Sunao&#039;s home. Sunao confesses she was ordered by Mikoshiba to kill anyone who defied the village&#039;s will, including them. She hesitated after hearing Shizuka&#039;s words by the river. Shizuka reveals what Mikoshiba told her during the ceremony: Diviners eventually become Devils, and the &amp;quot;coming-of-age&amp;quot; ceremony is actually a killing ritual to dispose of them. No Diviner has ever left the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three realize the entire village may be inside a Devil&#039;s Labyrinth. They decide to confront Mikoshiba and the Devil.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They split up to search. Chiharu finds her mother and Shizuka&#039;s mother fighting Underlings. Shizuka finds the villagers hiding safely but notices her mother and Chiharu&#039;s mother are missing. Sunao searches Mikoshiba&#039;s house and finds a hidden laptop with audio files recording conversations about selling Diviners&#039; wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They regroup and deduce the Devil is beneath the Grand Shrine. They descend and find Mikoshiba controlling the Devil. She admits everything: the Diviners are sold, killed when used up, and the village exists to produce them for profit. She orders the Devil to kill them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three girls fight together. Chiharu binds the Devil, Shizuka attacks, and Sunao delivers the final blow. They defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikoshiba survives but claims to remember nothing. Sunao confronts her about the recordings. Before she can explain, she bites a hidden poison tooth and dies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu searches Mikoshiba&#039;s body and finds a book written in an ancient script. Because of her family&#039;s tradition, Chiharu and her mother can read it. They stay up all night deciphering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu explains what the book revealed. The Mikoshiba clan were originally guards who seized control of the village centuries ago. They created the rituals, learned to manipulate Devils, and hid the village inside a Labyrinth to produce and sell Diviners. The Wavering Deity is a Devil formed from all the discarded Diviners. Now that the Labyrinth is gone, it is returning to the village. They must defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka&#039;s mother gives them a treasured sword infused with generations of Diviners&#039; power. They intercept the Wavering Deity before it reaches the village. The Devil&#039;s power overwhelms them, and Shizuka nearly gives in to despair. Sunao and Chiharu encourage her. Chiharu reveals the book also described the Tokime&#039;s original beliefs: they chose their own wishes, left the village willingly, and accepted their fate with honor. Shizuka regains her resolve. Together, they use the sword to destroy the Wavering Deity and free the trapped Diviners.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, the village slowly recovers. The adults learn the truth and worry about their future without Mikoshiba&#039;s financial support. The three girls decide to find a way to avoid becoming Devils. They summon Kyubey, who tells them about Kamihama City, where an automatic purification system exists. If they can obtain it, they may escape their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls prepare for their journey. Shizuka struggles with the new terminology used outside, where Diviners are called Magical Girls and Devils are called Witches. Chiharu&#039;s ability to sense malice hasn&#039;t bothered her now that the village is free. Shizuka suggests they first contact all Tokime clan members across the country and recruit Magical Girls willing to join them. Once they are ready, they will travel together to Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The village falls into financial crisis after the elder dies, having squandered most of the wealth on bad investments. Chiharu, inspired by a drama about a Shogun helping villages find their charm, recruits Shizuka and Sunao to help. The two are glad for the change, as most Tokime tribes have been unreceptive to their stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touring the village with Shizuka and Sunao, Chiharu realizes she had been arrogant and now sees its charm—clear river, abundant mountain, kind villagers. The three propose developing tourism. Chiharu’s mother agrees after a trial run with her husband’s family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trial run is messy but the family enjoys the landscape, harvesting, fishing, and hospitality. They give useful feedback, and Chiharu’s uncle notes the village’s unique fruit. They stay overnight and leave pleased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villagers applaud Chiharu for noticing what they had overlooked. Her mother begins a proposal for tourism renovation funds, and the villagers regain their energy, working in tourism and seeking outside jobs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao go to a grocery store, but Shizuka freezes in the crowd, unable to complete a simple purchase because of her sheltered upbringing. Chiharu suggests they ease her into city life with ice cream instead. Shizuka loves it, eating so quickly she gets brain freeze.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way home, Shizuka admits her mother will lecture her again about visiting the city unprepared. She asks if the others’ parents gave them similar advice. Chiharu’s parents only warned her not to waste money or follow strangers, while Sunao confesses she has never told her parents about her excursions—something Shizuka finds surprising given Sunao’s usual obedience. Shizuka advises her to tell them eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Chiharu’s house, her mother brings up a village problem: a surplus of daidaikko fruit needs to be used before it spoils. A villager working in another town found a grocery store willing to feature it in a showcase, but the only available slots are the next two days, and transportation from the village is impossible except by Diviners. Shizuka and Chiharu propose the three of them run the exhibition themselves, which would also help Shizuka adjust to the city. Sunao hesitates but agrees. Chiharu’s mother consents only if they get permission from the store and from Sunao and Shizuka’s parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sunao’s mother interrogates her until she confesses the plan, then spirals into worry about middle schoolers working without a chaperone, carrying heavy loads, and coming home after dark. Sunao asks Chiharu and Shizuka to leave, promising she will convince her parents even if it takes all night. Outside, they reflect on how anxious Sunao’s mother is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sunao has secured permission. At the store, Shizuka volunteers for the cash register but cannot operate it correctly. Sunao is tense because her parents plan to visit the next day. Their first day is a struggle: Shizuka fumbles with the register, Chiharu is distracted by traces of malice in the stocking area, and Sunao gets trapped listening to an elderly customer’s endless stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After closing, Shizuka notes how worried Sunao’s parents seem, prompting Sunao to finally share her wish. She explains that her parents became relentlessly anxious after a trip to Tokime Village, questioning her constantly until she was nearly broken. Kyubey appeared, and she wished to erase the worries her parents had concerning her. The wish worked, but their fears simply shifted—now they worry endlessly about her safety as a magical girl. Sunao feels they are always upset with her, though Chiharu insists they only want her to be safe. Shizuka says Sunao must earn their trust, and tomorrow’s exhibition needs to go perfectly. With her friends’ support, Sunao agrees to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the three tackle the exhibition with renewed determination. The day starts poorly: Shizuka causes another register problem, Chiharu is pulled away by her sense of malice, and Sunao endures a difficult customer—all while Sunao’s parents enter the store. But Shizuka, moved from the register, begins advising the clerks on how to rearrange the store to better showcase the daidaikko. She persuades them to let Chiharu investigate on her own and to trust Sunao with customer service.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu catches a shoplifter who had been repeatedly returning to the store. Sunao’s patience draws crowds after the elderly woman she helped spreads the word, and the exhibition becomes a huge success. Sunao’s parents apologize, saying they realized they had failed to see how capable she has grown. Sunao thanks Chiharu and Shizuka, then asks her parents to allow her to visit Kamihama City; now that she has her friends by her side, she knows she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Crimson Resolve===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, [[Mitsuru Inami]] is approached by Kyubey to become a Magical Girl. Having grown with her mother always telling her she was no good at anything, she wishes to become completely normal, a wish she believes came true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitsuru Inami#Side Story|Mitsuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A Magical Girl transforms into a Witch before her kouhai Yuna Kureha, and Kyubey coldly confirms that all Magical Girls share this fate. The girls of Futatsugi slaughter every Kyubey in the city, and with no incubators left, new Witches stop appearing. Starved for Grief Seeds, the girls grow desperate, and the Bloody Tragedy begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Crimson Resolve]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna now leads Torayamachi, one of the largest gangs in Futatsugi, living by her fallen senpai&#039;s words to avoid hatred and selfishness. When Witches begin reappearing, the rival Ryuugasaki gang learns that Torayamachi has lost their secret weapon known as the Horse, and leader Juri Ooba declares war.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Janomiya, an undercover group of younger girls led by Ao Kasane, a girl named Hikaru accepts recruitment. Ao&#039;s true goal is to assassinate both Yuna and Juri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitsuru is approached by two other girls who mistake her for a new recruit for Torayamachi. Mitsuru joins Yuna&#039;s faction, hoping to blend in, but when Yuna leads them into battle against a rival faction, Mitsuru panics and hides until the fighting ends. After their defeat, Yuna suspects a spy, and fearing suspicion, Mitsuru flees and infiltrates the rival faction instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mitsuru scouts Torayamachi but is spotted, triggering another battle between the factions. During the fight, attacks aimed at Mitsuru unconsciously miss her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt; After this she gains a reputation as a &amp;quot;Ghost Magical Girl,&amp;quot; which has attacks aimed at her always deflected and hitting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna welcomes Hikaru, who claims to be fleeing Ryuugasaki, and assigns her to guard their Grief Seeds. Days pass with no attack, and Yuna&#039;s girls grow restless. To lift their spirits, Yuna reveals that the Horse is alive and watching from the shadows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri&#039;s lieutenants advise waiting to let Torayamachi&#039;s tension wear them down. After interrogating a captured thief, Juri learns of Torayamachi&#039;s defensive preparations and decides to strike in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ao encounters the Bat of Monzenbashi, a former gang leader who once exploited her. With Hikaru&#039;s help, Ao subdues and captures her rather than killing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night before battle, Juri meets Yuna on a bridge. She admits she dragged everyone into this because Yuna would not fight her otherwise, thanks her for accepting her sickness, and promises to burn her down when they next meet. Ao watches from a distance, planning to strike as the snake while the tiger and dragon clash.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the battle begins across multiple bridges. Yuna&#039;s forces push Ranka&#039;s squad back, but Juri breaks through Sakuya&#039;s defense, killing one of her girls. As both sides converge on Monzenbashi, Ao lures both leaders to a construction site where Janomiya lies in wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Janomiya attacks, wounding Juri, Hikaru reveals herself as Torayamachi&#039;s Horse, a spy planted in Janomiya from the beginning. Yuna knew everything. Janomiya is defeated, and Ao surrenders. Yuna spares her life and offers Juri an open door, but Juri swears she will break it down and drag her out. As police sirens wail, Yuna weeps over what she has done.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Juri recovers in an empty base with only Ranka remaining loyal. Ao hunts for Ranka, determined to kill her before joining Torayamachi. Hikaru pleads with Ao to return, promising that Yuna will make her dream come true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna attempts to negotiate with Ryuugasaki girls, but a meeting by the river turns into an ambush. Two of her girls are killed. She fights desperately, thinking of Hikaru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ao reaches Ryuugasaki&#039;s base, finding only the wounded Juri. Juri taunts her, but Ao refuses to join her, still believing in Yuna. Ranka contacts Ao through their video game, asking to meet alone at Janomiya&#039;s base the following night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The meeting is a trap, as Ranka has brought the Bat of Monzenbashi. As Ao fights Ranka and Hikaru fights the Bat, Ranka reveals that Yuna&#039;s meeting is also a trap. Hikaru runs to save Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the river, Yuna is surrounded. Juri arrives and challenges her to a one-on-one fight. At Janomiya&#039;s base, the other Janomiya girls arrive to help Ao corner the Bat. Ranka sincerely apologizes for everything, and Ao hesitates to deliver the final blow. At the river, Hikaru engages Juri to protect Yuna, whose Soul Gem is badly tainted. Juri refuses to kill her in this state and retreats, promising to fight again when Yuna is at full strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Most of Torayamachi has left, following Yuna&#039;s instructions to join Ryuugasaki and avoid more bloodshed. Only Hikaru remains, refusing to leave her. Ao admits she has gained respect for Yuna but remains undecided about joining.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakuya brings the missing Torayamachi girl home. The girl reveals she went to Kamihama City and joined the Wings of the Magius, an organization that built a system to lure Witches from across the country, preventing them from appearing elsewhere. The Bloody Tragedy was their fault. Yuna, hearing the screams of her fallen comrades, vows to make Kamihama pay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri meet at the construction site where Yuna&#039;s senpai died. Yuna, running on pure rage, demands Juri become hers and help with her revenge. She overpowers the wounded Juri and prepares to kill her, but Hikaru intervenes, embracing Yuna and calming her down. Ao arrives with Kyubey, who confirms everything and offers to help them reach Kamihama in exchange for a truce. Yuna accepts, and Juri, Ao, Ranka, Sakuya, and Hikaru agree to join her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, Juri, Ao, and Hikaru visit the sites where their friends died, offering flowers and vowing revenge. Yuna, Juri, and Ao drink each other&#039;s blood, swearing to never fight again. They are Promised Blood. That night, their path to Kamihama begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Ash Grey Revolution===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Yukuni, Asahi learns from classmates that the stone monument she discovered will be researched. She meets fellow magical girls Lavi and Sasha when they respond to a distress call, only to witness two magical girls witch out before them when no Grief Seeds are available. Kyubey confirms this fate, and Asahi shoots him. A local girl named Urara Yume witnesses everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Ash Grey Revolution]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, the trio struggles with the truth. Lavi is forced to reveal her identity to save her friend Shirogane from a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Sasha asks the others to be her friends and help her face reality. They begin fighting together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara begins subtly supporting them on her internet broadcast with Kurara. Asahi saves her classmate Kuroda from a Witch&#039;s Kiss, revealing her identity. He asks her to help him confess to Haitani at the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara seeks out the trio and learns the truth about Magical Girls. She offers to introduce them as guests on her festival broadcast to tell Yukuni about their existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Yukuni All-star Festival, the trio sense the Witches of the two original girls. While fighting them, one Witch escapes. A truck explodes at the festival grounds, killing Haitani. Kuroda blames Asahi and all magical girls, vowing revenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following week, public backlash intensifies. Kuroda forms an extermination group against magical girls while Shirogane forms a protector group. The trio witness another girl witch out after being cornered. Lavi takes responsibility publicly on a broadcast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio endure daily harassment. They meet folklorist Tasuke Satomi, who takes a knife for Asahi and explains his theory about magical girls being erased from history by an unseen force. He wants to help them try again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Public opinion slowly shifts. The six remaining magical girls work together, restoring some trust. Three of them sacrifice themselves rather than witch out, asking Kuroda to make peace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1725.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At a unity ceremony, the Witch that caused the festival explosion appears. Asahi summons the dead to help the exterminators find closure. The summoned spirits suddenly relive their final moments, causing a bus to crash and kill everyone aboard, including Shirogane. Urara contracts to save her dying friend Kurara, who then rejects her for letting others die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tasuke theorizes the universe&#039;s immune system caused this. He suggests eliminating all Magical Girls and Witches to create a custom preventing future contracts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the days following, students blame the trio. Kyubey suggests they go to Kamihama City to observe attempts there to publicize magical girls. Tasuke agrees they should investigate. Lavi holds a broken pocket watch with five minutes remaining until midnight, when she will finally give up. Tasuke calls it the folklore of midnight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Arc 2 Prologue===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a long time before the start of Arc 2, but it is central to its story. To keep up linearity, it&#039;s been placed here despite likely taking place a long time ago, possibly during the time of Mirrors Story, which takes place during the Undated Period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kagome Satori]], a recent transfer student, is attacked by a Familiar in the Mirrors Labyrinth. The creature demands she sign a &amp;quot;Written Oath&amp;quot; to destroy Magical Girls. Kagome, who doesn&#039;t know anything about Magical Girls, is terrified and considers writing her name on the document to appease it, however Iroha arrives and defeats the Familiar.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Kagome learns the truth about Magical Girls and Witches. She is distressed that Magical Girls fight and die in secret, unknown and unthanked by the people they protect. Tasuke Satomi advises Kagome that, as someone who knows the truth, her role is to &amp;quot;record&amp;quot; and spread awareness of the Magical Girls&#039; plight, as this could be a way to save them. Kagome decides against making a contract with Kyubey, prioritizing this promise to record their reality. Kyubey explains that the system, where Magical Girls become Witches, is necessary for the universe&#039;s energy and humanity&#039;s survival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This article details the events and stories taking place in, during and between the chapters of Arc 1 of [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]]. The narrative is structured to show the convergence of two distinct flows of action:&lt;br /&gt;
# The first is the personal, undated journey of [[Iroha Tamaki]] within the anomalous Kamihama City, which is much longer than Homura Akemi&#039;s usual 32 day loop. Her story begins on its own internal timeline, where the sequence of events is more important than specific calendar dates.&lt;br /&gt;
# The second is the dated countdown to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival from the original series, which starts with Day 1, Tuesday the 16th and ends on Day 32, Friday the 16th. Only the latter half of Homura&#039;s timeline is able to be approximately dated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the arc progresses, these two timelines intersect, and due to this, the latter half of the story is much easier to date. It should be noted that the timeline of the Magia Record game is highly anomalous, and thus any attempts at dating it are an educated guess at best. Therefore, this chronology should be used primarily to understand the sequence of major events, rather than as a calendar. In lack of contradictory context clues, the release date, or order of release of the event were used for their placement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that many of the events of Magia Record were written with the focus being on having fun side stories involving the characters, and thus, a definitive placement in the timeline wasn&#039;t a priority for many of them. For example, there&#039;s inconsistencies such as references to the same characters entering Kamihama for the first time in different events, or even cases where an event&#039;s tone at the time it is supposedly taking place in would be nigh-illogical considering other circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, the definitive time frame for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival was only established in [[Scene 0]], itself written and released after the majority of Magia Record and entirely after Arc 1 was finished. Notably, the [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]], which takes place supposedly shortly after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, itself happens during February. For these reasons, it is impossible to definitively state the order of events, or to accurately measure them against that of the original series, as with the addition of these inaccuracies, it is possible that none of the time frames of the original universe are applicable here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, given all these inconsistencies, any specific dates or placements in the Magia Record timelines, especially Arc 1, should be taken with a grain of salt, unless they definitively continue into one another in a clear sequence (such as the Main Story and Another Story in isolation). The original series&#039; timeframes are used for organizational and cross-reference purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The timeline of this Universe continues with [[Timeline/Magia Record/Arc 2]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==First Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha Tamaki is going to Kamihama by train, she is caught in [[Boxwood|Boxwood&#039;s Barrier]]. [[Kuroe]] is also on the same train from Takarazaki to Kamihama, as she&#039;d heard the rumor that Magical Girls can be saved there, as well as had the same dream herself. The train is engulfed by the Labyrinth and Kuroe wants to help Iroha whom she&#039;s never met before. Kuroe leaps out of the train&#039;s window to help her, but she quickly falls out of the mobile Labyrinth straight into Kamihama City, chastising herself for being weak. Kuroe is greeted by [[Mifuyu Azusa]] who was trailing the signature of the Witch and Kuroe is quickly recruited into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Little Bird&#039;s Star]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha herself arrives in Kamihama City, compelled by recurring dreams of an unknown girl in a hospital room. Believing this girl to be a key to a buried memory, Iroha begins searching the city&#039;s Witch Labyrinths for clues. During her search, she rescues another Magical Girl later identified as Kaede Akino from aggressive Familiars. The girl warns Iroha about the unusual strength of Kamihama&#039;s Witches and, upon learning Iroha is searching for a small Kyubey, mentions having seen it in a specific Labyrinth. Kaede notes that the small Kyubey has been the only Kyubey around recently.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 1: Iroha: The Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha locates the Labyrinth and finds the small Kyubey who is incapable of speech, though Iroha can somehow understand it anyway, but is soon overwhelmed by a horde of Familiars. During the struggle, she has a vivid vision of the hospital room from her dreams. She is saved by Momoko Togame, who explains that the Witches in Kamihama are too powerful for most Magical Girls to handle alone. Momoko takes Iroha to meet Mitama Yakumo, the &amp;quot;Coordinator,&amp;quot; who can perform a &amp;quot;Soul Gem Alignment&amp;quot; to enhance a Magical Girl&#039;s power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the alignment, Iroha has another, clearer vision of the hospital room and the girl, feeling a strong sense of affection and nostalgia. After the procedure, Mitama reveals that she can see into the pasts of those whose Soul Gems she touches and asks Iroha what her wish was. Iroha is horrified to realize she cannot remember her own wish or the identity of the girl in her dreams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Driven by this revelation, Iroha rushes out to continue her search, but is intercepted by the powerful Magical Girl Yachiyo Nanami. Yachiyo, believing Iroha is not strong enough to survive in Kamihama, challenges her to a duel to force her to leave the city. Though Yachiyo wins, Momoko intervenes, and a compromise is reached: Yachiyo will allow Iroha to stay if she and Momoko can defeat a specific Witch, the Sandbox Witch, before Yachiyo can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The small Kyubey reappears and leads Iroha and Momoko directly to the Sandbox Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Although Yachiyo defeats the Witch first, she gives Iroha a final chance to prove herself by defeating the Witch alone, which Iroha successfully does. Yachiyo admits she thought Iroha would be fine from the start. However, Yachiyo then reveals her true objective: she believes the small Kyubey is a dangerous irregularity and moves to eliminate it. Yachiyo explains she was trying to draw the small Kyubey out, as all the other Kyubeys in Kamihama have disappeared. Iroha throws herself in the way to protect it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the confrontation, as Iroha protects the small Kyubey, by touching it a flood of memories is unlocked. She remembers her little sister, Ui Tamaki, who was chronically ill and hospitalized. Iroha recalls her wish to Kyubey: &amp;quot;Please cure Ui! Make my precious little sister healthy!&amp;quot; She also realizes with horror that she had completely forgotten Ui&#039;s existence, living her life as if she never had a sister, with no memory of her until that moment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha awakens back at Mitama&#039;s office, having been carried there by Momoko after fainting. She explains her recovered memory to Momoko and Mitama. Despite their warnings that the memory could be false, Iroha declares that she must continue her investigation in Kamihama. Now her goal is not just to understand her dreams, but to find the cause of Ui&#039;s disappearance and uncover the truth behind her own forgotten wish. Momoko resolves to help Iroha, and Mitama agrees to help as well for a price. Mitama then asks Iroha to give the small Kyubey a name. Iroha asks Lil&#039; Kyubey if he will help her find Ui, and he agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Second Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, now at her home in Takarazaki City, understands the reason for the empty space in her room: it once belonged to her sister, Ui. She recalls memories of Ui and her two friends from the hospital, Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, even remembering specific details like how Nemu loved writing and published stories online, or how Touka was very smart. Iroha resolves to visit the hospital to find them, hopeful they will remember Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: The Rule of Ending Friendships]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0001 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* While Mitama is running her shop, she reads a detective novel called “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” A white tabby kitten from next door starts visiting her during this time and she names him Doyle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 1: The Many-Worlds Interpretation Poesy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko comes for an adjustment and sits in the back to keep Mitama company. After a client leaves, Mitama feels strange and asks Momoko about the previous day after sunset. Momoko says they stayed in the shop watching over Iroha, but Mitama saw a memory during the adjustment: in that memory, she and Momoko patrolled an alley together and Mitama realizes the memory does not match reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha goes to the hospital with Lil&#039; Kyubey&#039;s help to use her cellphone but is unable to locate Touka and Nemu, as she does not have a visitor pass and is not family. She reflects on their personalities and their frequent arguments, which Ui often mediated. As Iroha recalls one of their fights where they declared they were &amp;quot;not friends anymore,&amp;quot; she is approached by Yachiyo. She warns Iroha about a dangerous Rumor in Kamihama called the &amp;quot;Rule of Ending Friendships.&amp;quot; She explains that if two friends fight and one later apologizes to make up, a monster will kidnap the one who apologized. Yachiyo states this is one of several Rumors in Kamihama that have become reality, leading to people disappearing and tells Iroha to be careful. Iroha later discusses this rumor with Mitama, who explains that Momoko is not likely to believe anything from Yachiyo, as they stopped getting along after Yachiyo became a model.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after this conversation, Iroha witnesses an argument between Momoko Togame&#039;s teammates, Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. Momoko asks Iroha to catch Rena, but Rena fights her off and even transforms into Iroha to surprise her. Momoko formally introduces Kaede and explains the fight is over sweets. She figures Rena will apologize later. The argument escalates, and both girls declare they are &amp;quot;not friends anymore&amp;quot; before Rena storms off. Momoko dismisses Iroha&#039;s concern about the Rumor, asserting that rumors are not true. Iroha notes that Momoko seems dismissive of the information specifically because it came from Yachiyo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami enters Kamihama City and saves Rena from a Stacey Witch. Rena reveals that Kamihama has the opposite problem to other cities: an overabundance of powerful Witches. Mami realizes Kamihama is an anomaly. While investigating, she encounters a powerful Familiar and a strange, non-Witch Barrier, solidifying her decision to investigate the city&#039;s mysteries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: Odd One Out]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Undated Period==&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama performs adjustments on more Magical Girls and sees more memories that should not exist. She pieces them together and finds a Kamihama slightly different from her own which she dubs the “Alternate Kamihama.” Over the next two days, several Magical Girls with memories of the other world come for adjustments and Mitama does not reveal whose memories she saw out of respect to her clients&#039; privacy, but she shares information with Momoko without naming names.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that in the Alternate Kamihama, Momoko and Mitama are a team of two, Yachiyo acts like Momoko’s big sister, Kaede is on Nanaka’s team and that Kako is missing. There is also a serious rivalry between Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team in the Sankyo Ward, as both teams had lost their youngest members, Kako and Ayame. Yachiyo is also in charge there but struggles to keep the order. Kako and Ayame are friends in this world, but Mitama has not seen either of them in the other world. Mitama almost reveals private information about Karin and an older student but stops herself. A small detail is that Mitama asks Momoko about an exclusive wallpaper of the Mocha Bunny, and Momoko sends her a link. Mitama notices the crucial detail that in the Alternate Kamihama, Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red, but in their world, it is blue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, a wounded Magical Girl is brought to Mitama’s shop and Mitama heals her with adjustments. This girl has more memories of the Alternate Kamihama than any previous client and the situation there is dire. Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team both blame each other for crossing a line first and the conflict spreads from Sankyo Ward to other wards. Three friends from the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira, Seika and Mito, had their Soul Gems taken and were locked in separate rooms and a voice from inside their Soul Gems asked for the words in their hearts. The three answered “Four-leaf clover” and got their gems back, but one girl fainted from fatigue. Mitama suspects someone mistook them for a threat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks about Iroha and Kyubey, worrying about Iroha in the other world. Mitama says no one has seen Iroha there and that the small Kyubey is also missing, but the normal Kyubey still exists in the Alternate Kamihama. Momoko has not seen Kyubey in their own world for months. Mitama refuses to share more due to confidentiality and calls herself an unreliable narrator, so Momoko agrees to stay as her investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about how the memories were gathered, and that a few days ago, a group of friends from Kamihama ended up in the Alternate Kamihama. They were together one second and scattered the next, and though they searched for each other and talked to many Magical Girls along the way, they noticed something was wrong. One of them said they cannot tell anyone how they got there and Mitama almost forgot to mention that Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red in the other world, yet Momoko is not impressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Doyle meows at Mitama and she thinks he wants her to apologize to Momoko and she also thinks about the one secret she cannot tell anyone: the Alternate Kamihama is a world without Witches. Then she finds a phone that a client left behind and she accidentally turns it on, seeing that the wallpaper shows Mocha Bunny with a red bow tie, making Mitama wonder if the phone came from the other world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama keeps the phone, as she cannot return it yet because schedules do not match. She learns about Rumors, or Uwasa in Kamihama: mysterious beings that make rumors come true. Momoko tells her about the Rumor of the Rule of Ending Friendships, which nearly trapped Kaede and Rena forever. Mitama reveals that in the Alternate Kamihama, Kaede and Rena are very close and never argue, but that Rena works alone there. Momoko is no longer surprised by anything Mitama says.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko advises Mitama to record all details about the Alternate Kamihama while they are fresh and Mitama starts writing “The Case Files of the Coordinator.” She notes the color of Mocha Bunny’s bow tie, team relationships, and the disappearances of Kako and Ayame. While writing, Nanaka walks in to return a borrowed book and overhears Mitama say that Kako disappeared, prompting Mitama to explain everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka asks many questions, joking about Mitama’s inability to keep secrets. Then she asks seriously why the Sankyo Ward is the source of conflict in the other world and she suspects there is more to the situation. She asks Mitama to tell her about the incident that sparked the conflict and after hearing her out, Nanaka says she will keep the information to herself for now. She advises Mitama to talk directly to the owner of the phone from the other world and that the girls who ended up there know how they got there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama meets the girl who left the phone and she does not hesitate to tell the truth because Mitama would see it in her memories anyway. The girl explains the Rumor of Parallel Memories. The rumor says that if you get an item of proof from a parallel world and pray to the central tower, you can travel to and from a parallel Kamihama. The world they visited was a dream projected by the Rumor and it shows a world that “could be.” The girl and her friends all had the same dream at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama tells Momoko the Alternate Kamihama was just a dream and Momoko is relieved. Mitama explains the Mandela effect phenomenon: many people misremember the same fact, leading to a theory that those are memories from a parallel world. The Rumor of Parallel Memories lets you enter a dream of such a world and a lot of girls fell victim to it, including Ren, Kokoro, and Karin, who also got a strange sketchbook and ended up in the world of her own manga, which was traumatic. The dream world is dangerous because one&#039;s are asleep the entire time, but to leave, they can simply wish to go back. The issue is that if someone does not know that, they could waste away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks what kind of world the girls went to and Mitama admits it was a world without Witches. Momoko is upset Mitama kept that secret and asks if all worlds without Witches are that violent, but Mitama says no, clarifying that the fighting in the Alternate Kamihama had nothing to do with Witches. Their own world has Witches and people still fight and that the Alternate Kamihama is just one possibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitama tells Nanaka the Rumor explanation, but Nanaka still wonders why there was so much fighting, and that not all worlds without Witches would be that hostile. She thinks someone is behind the conflict and she names Hanna Sarasa, who is dead in this world. Nanaka says the targets in the Alternate Kamihama were all connected to Hanna, and that the method matches Hanna’s style: using suggestion to bend wills, laying traps, spreading rumors, making people doubt everyone. The trap for the Daito Apartment Complex girls feels like someone who enjoys watching others suffer. While Mitama is convinced, she notes the Alternate Kamihama is not real and Nanaka also agrees it is a nightmare that never became reality because Hanna died. Then Nanaka mentions a recent incident: a certain book nearly destroyed her friendship with Kako. It felt deliberate, but thankfully Hanna is dead, though Mitama becomes unsettled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0002 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama asks herself why she is still looking into the case, recalling two girls with bad experiences. Felicia saw a nightmare in the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth and was despondent for days, but she does not remember anything. Reira also tapped a weird link in a Magical Girls’ group chat and she started having nightmares that made things awkward between her and her best friend Seika. Mitama notes that nightmares testing friendships cannot be a coincidence and that the girls who ended up in the Alternate Kamihama also got into trouble because of a phone. Mitama connects the dots and creates a vague profile: a mean-spirited person who likes to show nightmares and test hearts, using a phone, located in Endless Mirrors, the large Labyrinth inside the Mirror Witch’s Mansion and where all the magic of Kamihama gathers. Mitama decides to take a look and asks Reira about the group chat. The account that posted the link has been deleted, but the culprit might still watch with another account. Mitama posts a message asking if anyone has had bad experiences related to Endless Mirrors, hoping the culprit will see it. She then receives a video chat invitation from a caller ID: H. S.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna Sarasa appears on the video call and says she is not the Hanna Sarasa that Mitama knows. She is the Hanna from a parallel world and that she is glad Mitama finally figured things out. She has been playing hide-and-seek and running out of time. She is in Endless Mirrors and tells Mitama to come alone, claiming she can tell Mitama about the serious consequences of her wish, which Mitama kept secret. She wonders if her wish brought Hanna to this world and she closes her shop early to go to Endless Mirrors. Momoko notices something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside Endless Mirrors, Hanna watches Mitama through copies, using the power of suggestion to control people. Mitama asks if the Alternate Kamihama is where Hanna is from and she confirms. She claims the world Mitama assumed was just a dream actually exists and that the dream shown by the Rumor happens to be exactly like Hanna’s world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna explains there is a narrow tunnel connecting the two worlds and that the exit in Mitama’s world is inside Endless Mirrors. A Magical Girl with the power to connect spaces, possibly the alternate version of Shizuku, was forced by Hanna to use all her power to open the hole. Hanna wanted to find Mikoto Sena, who had disappeared in her world. The tunnel is too small for a person, only big enough for a phone, but Hanna used the copies and Familiars in Endless Mirrors to do her work. She had tossed a phone through the hole and waited for someone to pick it up, and the Rumor of Parallel Memories did the rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna admits she is not actually in Endless Mirrors, but in an abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama. The background image was fake and the tunnel will close in a few days. The Endless Mirrors Familiars built a magical projector that can exchange things of equal value between the two worlds, an if Mitama turns the handle, they will trade places: Mitama goes to the Alternate Kamihama, and Hanna comes to Mitama’s world. Hanna has been using her power of suggestion on Mitama and she makes her turn the handle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in the dark abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama and Hanna arrives in Mitama’s world. Hanna explains her full plan: she wanted to find Mikoto and she tested her methods on Nanaka and Kako, then on the Daito girls and Felicia. She left subtle hints to lure Mitama to Endless Mirrors and Mitama’s curiosity and guilt made her the perfect bait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, who had followed Mitama, telepathically messages her and Momoko catches Hanna off-guard. She turns the handle of the projector in reverse and Mitama returns to her own world while Hanna goes back to the Alternate Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The tunnel closes a few days later and Momoko does not remember much of the incident. Mitama does not either; her last memory is reaching for the handle and Momoko explains what happened. The projector is destroyed, and Hanna cannot return. Mitama warns everyone to stay away from Endless Mirrors for a few days and nothing else happens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects on how she almost became the kitten killed by curiosity. But it was guilt that trapped her instead. She decides will continue to act as a neutral Coordinator, hiding secrets behind confidentiality and she plays with Doyle using a new foxtail cat toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after the initial argument, Momoko notes that Rena Minami has not apologized to Kaede, which is unusual behavior. Kaede spends her time alone, and Momoko expresses worry for her. During this time, Iroha encounters a witch and rescues Kaede. Kaede admits she was running away from Momoko to avoid being forced to see Rena, and that she wants to apologize but doesn&#039;t think she can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several more days later, Momoko decides to intervene in the dispute. Iroha offers to help, and Momoko accepts, promising to aid Iroha in her search for Ui in return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko devises a plan to lure Rena and Kaede to the same location. The plan involves waiting for Rena at her student committee meeting. Iroha waits for a long time, but Momoko calls to say the meeting was cancelled and Rena went home early. Momoko tells Iroha to find Rena at the game center. Iroha finds Rena at the arcade playing a game and attempts to lure her to an abandoned construction site with a false story about a live show from Sayuki Fumino, Rena&#039;s favorite idol. Rena sees through the ruse. Kaede arrives and confronts Rena directly, demanding an apology. When Rena refuses, Kaede attempts to apologize herself. Rena reacts with panic and tries to stop her, revealing her belief in the Rule of Ending Friendships Rumor and her fear that an apology would cause Kaede to be taken. Rena denies this and runs off. Iroha and Kaede chase her and run into Momoko, but Kaede realizes it&#039;s a transformed Rena. Rena returns to her normal appearance and admits she believes in the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Kaede completes her apology, a strange Labyrinth, distinct from a Witch&#039;s Barrier, manifests. Monstrous Familiars appear, seize Kaede, and drag her away, confirming the Rumor&#039;s power. Rena runs off, determined to find a solution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Iroha regroup and Momoko expresses more concern over Rena Minami&#039;s departure than Kaede Akino&#039;s capture, but trusts that Rena had a reason.  Iroha suggests asking Mitama for help. Momoko reveals that Mitama accepts payment in Grief Seeds, and she&#039;s running low. Lil&#039; Kyubey then finds Rena, who was looking for Momoko. They follow the residual magic trail and find Rena, who reveals she sought information from Yachiyo on how to counter the Rumor. The group returns to the abandoned construction site, where Rena shouts an apology to Kaede to lure out the entity. The Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth manifests, and a brainwashed Kaede appears, followed by monstrous Familiars. The Uwasa captures Rena too and Yachiyo arrives, confirms the Rumor&#039;s power, and joins the fight. Yachiyo subdues the possessed Kaede, and Momoko and Iroha proceed deeper into the Labyrinth and find the Uwasa, &amp;quot;Ms. Staircase,&amp;quot; which has also possessed Rena. Momoko and Iroha try attacking the witch, but it has no effect. Yachiyo then arrives, having knocked Kaede out. Yachiyo admits she doesn&#039;t know how to defeat the witch either. Kaede returns and teams up with a now brainwashed Rena. Yachiyo knocks them out and notes the witch may have increased their powers, at the cost of darkening their Soul Gems. Yachiyo catches up and defeats both possessed girls to neutralize the threat without serious injury. Iroha proposes a coordinated attack to counteract the Uwasa&#039;s nature, so Iroha, Momoko, and Yachiyo combine their attacks and destroy the Uwasa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Yachiyo provides a Grief Seed to revive the exhausted Kaede and Iroha also uses her healing powers to help awaken her. Yachiyo identifies the entity as an &amp;quot;Uwasa,&amp;quot; a being distinct from Witches and Familiars that exists to protect a Rumor. Afterward, the girls find Rena and Kaede. Kaede awakens and reconciles with Rena. The four girls then all share pudding together, affirming their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, to fulfill her promise, Momoko has Rena use her transformation magic to investigate the hospital records. Rena confirms that Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi were real patients discharged around the same time as Ui. However, Rena finds no record of Ui Tamaki&#039;s existence at the hospital. Despite this setback, Iroha resolves to continue her search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Iroha visits Mitama for a Soul Gem alignment. During the procedure, Mitama&#039;s hunger causes Iroha to see visions of food. Momoko arrives and notes Mitama&#039;s treatments are ineffective when she is hungry. The three go to Mitama&#039;s kitchen, where her dangerous cooking prompts Iroha to recall memories of cooking for her sister, Ui.

** They find Ria Ami, who claims to be Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo barely remembers her. Ria says she cannot forgive the fakes for duplicating her beauty.

Mitama encourages her to go deeper but warns her not to lose herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors11&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss|Mirrors Story Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after the defeat of the Uwasa of Ending Friendships, Iroha has found no new clues about Ui, Touka Satomi, or Nemu Hiiragi. Kaede tells Iroha and Rena a rumor that the children kidnapped by the previous Uwasa returned after its defeat. This gives Iroha the idea that if she defeats other Rumors, people trapped by them, including Ui, might be freed. She recalls a conversation where Ui spoke about imagination becoming reality, which strengthens her resolve. Iroha decides to actively investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors and she meets Mitama, who suggests Iroha look into a rumor about a shrine in Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: Kamihama Rumor Files]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, in Mizuna Ward, Iroha has no success finding information about the shrine rumor. She meets Tsuruno Yui, a Magical Girl who calls herself the &amp;quot;Mightiest.&amp;quot; Tsuruno tells Iroha about the &amp;quot;Séance Shrine&amp;quot; rumor, which claims it can reunite people with those they yearn to see. Iroha decides this is a promising lead to find Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsuruno tasks Iroha with investigating a local legend about a tragic couple, which may connect to the Séance Shrine rumor. Tsuruno explains the folk tale in detail: a woman whose lover was killed found a paper with his handwriting, went to the place written on it, and was able to meet his ghost. She suggests Iroha investigate the path while she investigates shrines. Iroha completes a stamp rally related to the legend. She discovers the path is part of a town renewal project meant for couples and finds she only has half the map, requiring a partner with a &amp;quot;Sheet B.&amp;quot; Yachiyo appears, coincidentally in possession of Sheet B. They combine their sheets, which reveals a map that leads them to Mizuna Shrine. Before they leave, Yachiyo points out Iroha dropped her notebook, which Iroha hurriedly claims is her homework. At the final stamp rally location, a woman makes them confess their feelings for each other to get a matchmaking charm. Afterward, Yachiyo notices Iroha is writing in a &amp;quot;Kamihama Mystery Notes&amp;quot; notebook, and Iroha admits she&#039;s copying Yachiyo. Yachiyo determines this is not the Séance Shrine, and they part ways. Iroha agrees to help Tsuruno investigate further the next day. Later, Iroha spots a shrine on a rooftop from a train.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami discusses Kamihama City&#039;s anomalies with Kyubey, who agrees to share information. She then meets Kyoko and informs her about the high concentration of Witches in Kamihama. Kyoko is eager to hunt there but promises to leave if it becomes too dangerous. Mami remains concerned about the Witch shortage elsewhere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha investigates the rooftop shrine location. She senses strong magic, enters a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, and is overwhelmed by powerful Familiars. Yachiyo arrives and assists her and together, they defeat the Witch. After the battle, a store sale gives Yachiyo a new idea after she uncharacteristically begged Iroha for help getting to the sale. She deduces the Séance Shrine is Mizuna Shrine, but it must be visited at night just like in the folk tale. Yachiyo invites Iroha to investigate the shrine that night, and Iroha requests to bring Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno sneak into Mizuna Shrine after hours. Tsuruno reveals that she and Yachiyo are former teammates and Yachiyo explains the Rumor of the Séance Shrine: those who write a name on a wooden plaque and pray at the shrine will be reunited with that person, but risk being trapped in bliss. They perform the ritual. Iroha prays to be reunited with Ui. Tsuruno provokes the Uwasa, which manifests and attacks. Yachiyo urges Iroha to complete the ritual as the Uwasa&#039;s minions approach and Iroha does so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha finds herself alone in a twilight version of the shrine. A false version of Ui appears but only repeats a cryptic message: &amp;quot;To change your fate, come to Kamihama City... Here, Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;quot; The illusion then shatters and Iroha locates Yachiyo, who is confronted by a manifestation of her missing friend, Mifuyu Azusa. Yachiyo determines this Mifuyu is an imposter created by the Uwasa and the two defeat her. Afterward, Iroha uses her Grief Seed to purify Yachiyo&#039;s Soul Gem, and they realize they are both searching for someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami encounters Kaede, who is hesitating to enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Mami invites Kaede to join her, and they defeat the Witch together. Afterwards, Kaede tells Mami about her recent experience with a &amp;quot;Rumor,&amp;quot; an entity with a magical signature unlike a Witch or Magical Girl. Mami dismisses the story as a coincidence but is intrigued by the unknown energy. To avoid involving Kaede in further conflict, Mami decides to investigate the Rumor alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: It Looks Just Like Us]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno joins with the two of them and the Uwasa of the Séance Shrine manifests to attack them directly. The trio&#039;s attacks prove ineffective and Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem becomes critically corrupted during the fight. As she nears her limit, an unknown power erupts from within her. This power, her Doppel, which consumes the impurities in her Soul Gem, destroys the Uwasa and leaves her Soul Gem completely purified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the battle, Mami enters the Rumor&#039;s Barrier and witnesses Iroha unleash her Doppel. Mistaking it for a human-disguised Witch, Mami attacks Iroha, who tries and fails to summon her Doppel again to defend herself. The confrontation is interrupted by Momoko Togame, forcing Mami to retreat, but she vows to pursue Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Homura arrive in Kamihama City and they sense a Witch and enter its Barrier, finding a Magical Girl fighting it. The Witch escapes and the Barrier vanishes. Madoka asks if the girl is alright, but she leaves and Madoka runs off after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname in Magia Record#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magical Girl feels exhausted from overusing magic. Madoka finds her and guides her to a bench. Madoka offers to buy her a drink. Homura appears and offers to get it. The girl thanks Madoka and introduces herself as Shizuku Hozumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka helped. Madoka says it was because Shizuku looked like she was in pain. Shizuku calls Madoka kind. Madoka says it is bad to be alone. Shizuku says being alone is fine and she will find where she belongs. Madoka suggests Shizuku could create her own place to belong. Homura returns with drinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka became a Magical Girl. Madoka explains she has no particular talent and wanted to be useful to someone. Shizuku realizes Madoka made a place for herself by becoming a Magical Girl. She thanks Madoka for giving her hope and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka makes an offering at a shrine, praying for everyone&#039;s happiness. It rains and stops, leaving Madoka wet. A girl offers her a handkerchief and explains they missed the bus. Madoka notices the girl has a book she loves. The girl admits it is her favorite. Madoka introduces herself and the girl says her name is Kako Natsume. They talk about the book until the bus arrives and part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka goes to a bookstore and buys the sequel. Kako is also there. Kako asks if Madoka is a Magical Girl, having noticed her Soul Gem ring, and reveals she is one as well. Kako invites Madoka on a night-time adventure at her school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami finds Kyoko and, relieved she has not yet gone to Kamihama, recounts the event and describes Iroha as a &amp;quot;humanoid Witch.&amp;quot; She pleads with Kyoko to avoid the city and offers to provide her with Grief Seeds, to which Kyoko reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Concurrently, Kaede, Rena, and Momoko discuss the incident. They conclude it was a misunderstanding and speculate they will meet Mami again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, after Yachiyo uses Iroha&#039;s phone to explain the situation to Iroha&#039;s mother and get permission for her to stay out, Yachiyo takes Iroha to her home, Mikazuki Villa, as her assistant. Yachiyo formally invites Iroha to be her assistant and use the villa as a base to investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors together. Iroha accepts. Tsuruno arrives and declares herself part of the team as well, and then reveals that a girl named Nemu Hiiragi is a regular customer at her family&#039;s restaurant, providing Iroha with a significant new lead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after the defeat of the Séance Shrine Uwasa, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno attempt to find Nemu Hiiragi at her family&#039;s restaurant in Sankyo Ward, but learn she only visits once a month. Yachiyo suggests using a phone book to find Nemu&#039;s home address, but their search yields no results. Iroha reveals her family will move overseas and she will soon relocate to Kamihama and while searching, Iroha drinks water from a &amp;quot;Water Station with the Owl Sign.&amp;quot; After drinking, she begins to find pieces of paper with decreasing numbers. Yachiyo identifies this as a potential new Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 4: The City She Told Me About]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko travels to Kamihama&#039;s Sankyo Ward against Mami&#039;s advice and upon entering the city, she finds it overrun with aggressive Witches and Familiars. After the battles, she notices a crowd around a man giving out free water, and, after drinking it, begins to find papers with a countdown from 24.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the countdown has reached 10. Kyoko returns to Kamihama to investigate and meets Yachiyo Nanami, who explains the phenomenon is a Rumor. Kyoko refuses Yachiyo&#039;s offer to help, resolving to confront the threat alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After learning Nemu&#039;s family were regulars, Iroha searches eats at Banbanzai daily. Yachiyo suggests she use a phonebook, but her visits to three different houses are unsuccessful. Iroha and another girl receive water from an old man at a shop with an owl sign. Later, Iroha returns to the Water Station but finds it has vanished. She meets the girl she saw earlier, Felicia Mitsuki, another Magical Girl and receives the numbered papers. Iroha convinces Felicia to help investigate the Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 4: Guardians of the Uwasa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During this time, Iroha tells Yachiyo over the phone that she would be moving because her father was going abroad for work, and her mother was accompanying him. She plans to stay at a dormitory attached to her new school, which is also where Tsuruno went, but there were no rooms available. While discussing this, the numbered papers begin falling on Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Kyoko encounters Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. They lead her to Tsuruno Yui&#039;s restaurant, where Kyoko learns the others are also investigating the Rumor. The three Magical Girls fight a Witch together, and after the battle, Rena and Kaede identify Kyoko&#039;s affliction as the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water&amp;quot; and offer to help. Kyoko, reminded of her past with Mami, rejects their offer and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Separately, Yachiyo encounters Kyoko Sakura, who is also affected by the Rumor. Yachiyo proposes they investigate together, but Kyoko refuses, stating that Uwasa are not Witches and do not provide Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later the same day, Iroha and Felicia investigate the Rumor, where Felicia&#039;s reckless fighting style nearly injures Iroha against a Witch. Felicia explains she became a Magical Girl for revenge against the Witch that killed her parents. The Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and reveals the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water,&amp;quot; which states a disaster will befall those who drank the water after 24 hours. The countdown shows they have less than five hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Members of a group called the Wings of the Magius appear and attempt to stop them from pursuing the Uwasa. They state their goal is to &amp;quot;liberate&amp;quot; all Magical Girls and that the Rumors are essential to this plan. Felicia pretends to betray the group to infiltrate the Wings, a plan that Yachiyo had actually hired her for. However, she later genuinely defects after they offer her a substantial reward. Iroha confronts Felicia, who claims nothing could make her life worse. Iroha learns about Felicia&#039;s treasured stuffed animal, a cow her parents gave her. Iroha convinces Felicia that losing it would be a personal disaster. Felicia rejoins the group and reveals the Wings&#039; base is under a school in Sankyo Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout this ordeal, Kyoko has followed Iroha&#039;s group and when they&#039;re confronted the Black Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, she assists them in their fight. The countdown reaches one hour.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With less than one hour remaining, the team is confronted by the White Feathers, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who use sound-based magic. Tsuruno devises a plan to counter their attacks by creating a loud noise to disrupt the sound waves. The team defeats the Amane sisters, but then they unleash powerful entities from their bodies, that they call &amp;quot;Doppels,&amp;quot; which they describe as a projection of their emotions and the key to liberating Magical Girls. The team withstands the Doppel&#039;s attack, and with 30 minutes remaining, Yachiyo and Tsuruno stay behind to hold off the remaining White Feathers. Iroha, Felicia, and Kyoko proceed into the Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth, and with 10 minutes remaining, they locate the Uwasa of the Misery Water, a large cup-like creature protected by falling boulders. Iroha&#039;s long-range attack proves ineffective, and Felicia devises a plan to use the falling boulders as platforms to reach the Uwasa. With one minute remaining, Felicia executes her plan and launches her attack on the Uwasa and successfully defeats it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Tsuruno subdue the Amane sisters, but then Mifuyu, Yachiyo&#039;s missing friend, appears and reveals she is a high-ranking member of the Wings of the Magius. She refuses to return with Yachiyo, stating her faith in the Magius&#039; goal of liberation. Iroha asks Mifuyu if she knows Ui Tamaki, and she suggests Ui could be a member of the Wings of the Magius but claims to have no specific knowledge. With this, Mifuyu and the Amane sisters retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo resolves to continue eliminating Rumors to confront the Wings of the Magius and save Mifuyu. Iroha agrees to continue as her assistant, believing the Wings are connected to Ui&#039;s disappearance. Tsuruno also pledges her help and Kyoko departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group walks home and Iroha invites Felicia to stop working as a mercenary and team up as friends. Yachiyo offers Felicia room and board at Mikazuki Villa in exchange for her services, and Tsuruno offers Felicia a job at her family&#039;s restaurant, which includes meals. Yachiyo then invites Iroha to live at Mikazuki Villa as well, to make their investigations easier. Iroha&#039;s parents approve the arrangement.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Kyoko meets Mami and explains that the &amp;quot;humanoid Witch&amp;quot; was a Doppel. Mami confronts Kyoko for disobeying her and expresses a desire to protect her as a former friend. Kyoko rejects this, stating she has changed and believes their paths are destined to remain separate. She reaffirms her resolve to live only for herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Once there, Kako tells Madoka to look at the starry sky, explaining that on this day you can see the most beautiful stars. Kako admits she is shy but can talk properly with Madoka, and this star viewing is her thanks. Madoka says Kako&#039;s honest feelings reached her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Mami fight a Witch. A normal person is kidnapped and brought into the Barrier. Mami tells Madoka to rescue the person while she handles the Witch. A Magical Girl appears, impressed Madoka is helping people. She introduces herself as Sasara Minagi, the knight who protects the city. She asks Madoka to let her save the victim so Madoka can help Mami. Madoka agrees and returns to Mami. Together they defeat the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier vanishes and they meet Sasara outside. Sasara says she took the victim to the hospital. Sasara compliments their strength and offers to help if they are in trouble, explaining that rescuing people is her specialty and protecting everyone is her creed. Madoka says she is cool. Sasara says she is happy to meet Magical Girls like them, explaining that Kamihama has more Witches, drawing Magical Girls who only care about fighting, not saving people. Sasara became a knight because she cannot accept people being sacrificed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami agrees. Sasara says she rarely met others who think this way. Madoka says she became a Magical Girl to help people and is like Sasara. Sasara calls Madoka incredible. Mami says Madoka might become the strongest Magical Girl someday, but has a long way to go. Sasara says both are worthy of the title &amp;quot;knight.&amp;quot; When Mami points out they use projectile weapons, Sasara suggests they can be a rescue team. She offers to team up, but Madoka and Mami note they are not always in Kamihama. Madoka offers to help if Sasara is in trouble while they are there. Sasara thanks them and departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami says Madoka is too kind and honest, wondering if she is walking a path of battle. Madoka points out Mami walks the same path, saying she aspired to be like Mami. Mami thanks her but advises running away if truly in danger. Madoka says it is fine, as she does not have the courage to sacrifice herself. Mami invites her for tea once they return to Mitakihara. Madoka narrates her wish to protect everyone with her own power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day, at Mikazuki Villa, Felicia returns with souvenirs. She criticizes Iroha&#039;s cooking, and the group goes to Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant. Felicia laughs at the revelation that Tsuruno&#039;s politically-influential family now runs a Chinese restaurant, hurting Tsuruno&#039;s feelings. Iroha scolds Felicia for her insensitivity, causing Felicia to run off crying. Felicia finds Tsuruno at a park and apologizes.

When Mitama prepares to cook, the girls quickly realize she cannot handle a knife when it flies into the ceiling, forcing them to take over cutting and peeling. After they prepare the ingredients, Mitama adds the seasoning, but the girls later discover she had been using paint.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls refuse to let Mitama cook again and order her to get something ready-made instead.

The meal is horrible, but Kyoko, who never wastes food, eats it all anyway and passes out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kyoko wakes up, she notices her body feels hot. Felicia explains she used her powers on their Soul Gems while they were unconscious, awakening Kyoko&#039;s magic.

* Iroha returns to the Mirror Mansion. Tsuruno appears and insists they go in together, saying the copies make good training opponents. Unbeknownst to Iroha, Yachiyo asked Tsuruno to look out for her.

** Konoha contacts Yachiyo and asks to speak in person. She requests Yachiyo&#039;s help searching for Mitama. Yachiyo agrees.

&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, three days since Mitama&#039;s disappearance, Iroha tells Yachiyo about it. They decide to investigate the labyrinth. Seika, Leila, and Mito also enter the barrier on their own to search for Mitama despite Hazuki&#039;s warning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors21&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 13 - 24#Layer 21: The Coordinator&#039;s Gone|Mirrors Story Layer 21: The Coordinator&#039;s Gone]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside, Seika, Leila, and Mito argue until Mito reminds them of their promise about punishments. Mito closes her eyes but opens them and blocks the blow, realizing the other two are Mirror copies. The real Leila and Seika call out nearby. The trio fights off their own copies and leaves the barrier. Kako and Nanaka greet them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors25&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 25: Triple Threat|Mirrors Story Layer 25: Triple Threat]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame also venture into Endless Mirrors. They continue deeper and find themselves in front of Azalea House in an illusion.

They meet Nanaka and Meiyui, whose illusion had interfered with theirs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors31&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 31: Break Through the Mirror of Memory|Mirrors Story Layer 31: Break Through the Mirror of Memory]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo meets Himika outside Swindlers&#039; Town. Leila&#039;s group finds Yachiyo and explains they were searching for Mitama while collecting Mirror Coins.

** Mitama explains a Familiar grew into maturity in Swindlers&#039; Town and she could not allow a new Labyrinth. She had caged it with Mirror Coins but Leila&#039;s group picked them up. The group decides to take down the newly hatched Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors33&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 33: A Several Day Barricade|Mirrors Story Layer 33: A Several Day Barricade]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group enters the barrier and finds Nanaka&#039;s group. They realize the original Witch connected the two labyrinths.

** Back at her shop, Mitama explains her theory: the Mirror Witch was originally Mikoto Sena, a Magical Girl from Daito Ward whose unique magic was suggestion. Mikoto&#039;s mother still lives in Swindlers&#039; Town. Mitama hopes her theory is partially wrong, but she does not tell Yachiyo that the date Mikoto became a Witch was the same day Mitama made her wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors36&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction|Mirrors Story Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sunday, the 28th===&lt;br /&gt;
* At some point, in Mitakihara City, Homura Akemi experiences an anomaly during a routine Witch hunt with Madoka Kaname and Mami while fighting [[Patricia]]. While time is stopped, a mysterious girl appears before her, unseen by the others. This girl tells Homura that if she wishes to change the fate of Magical Girls, specifically Madoka&#039;s, she must go to Kamihama City. The vision vanishes as quickly as it appeared, leaving Homura to ponder this cryptic message alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Not accounting for the events outside of the main story, which make it significantly longer, this section would stretch from Day 14 on Monday, the 29th to Day 22 on Tuesday, the 6th.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A short time after Iroha moves into Mikazuki Villa, the group begins to feel like a family, playing mobile games and making dinner together. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Felicia investigate the radio tower in Chuo Ward. Tsuruno reports hearing a strange, laughing girl&#039;s voice on the phone there and Yachiyo identifies this as the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor, which she previously considered harmless. They overhear passersby mention the rumor and a specific girl from their school and the team decides to investigate the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 5: Endless Solitude]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Homura, troubled by a new vision of a girl in Kamihama City, decides to investigate. She and Madoka discuss Kamihama with Mami, who warns them about the city&#039;s dangers, including powerful Witches, Rumors, and a &amp;quot;human witch.&amp;quot; Mami insists on investigating alone first, and Homura and Madoka reluctantly agree to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 5: A Fascinating Secret]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, [[Nagisa Momoe]] arrives in Kamihama using the Mirror Witch&#039;s Barrier as a portal, accompanied by a silent pink Kyubey. She immediately senses multiple magical signatures belonging to Charlotte and realizes the Nagisa of this world has already become a Witch, with Charlottes appearing all over the city. Deciding she cannot be bothered with pest control immediately, she resolves to find some cheese first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Kamihama Cheese Panic!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before she can do so, she is engulfed in Charlotte&#039;s barrier and overwhelmed by multiple Witches, forcing her to flee and seek help. After escaping, she enters another Charlotte&#039;s barrier to find Kanoko Yayoi struggling inside, and together they defeat the Witch. Kanoko takes Nagisa to Walnuts, where Manaka Kurumi serves her a three-course cheese meal while Nagisa explains the Witch multiplies rapidly and has likely spread across all of Kamihama. Kanoko and Manaka agree to help gather Magical Girls for a coordinated attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa runs out to scout but immediately runs into another Charlotte, and Manaka and Kanoko rescue her. They begin gathering Magical Girls, and soon a large group assembles including Ria Ami, Rika Ayano, Ren Isuzu, Akira Shinobu, Sasara Minagi, Asuka Tatsuki, Emiri Kisaki, Himika Mao, and later Kako Natsume and Meiyui Chun. During their meeting at the park, they are attacked by a Charlotte and after a grueling battle, they defeat it while realizing even with all of them, defeating one Charlotte was difficult. As the group descends into bickering over who should lead, Nagisa realizes she must reveal her true identity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa explains she was sent from another universe to defeat this Witch, offering the pink Kyubey as proof. Though some are skeptical, Meiyui finds Nagisa interesting enough to play along, and secretly confirms the pink Kyubey&#039;s existence for Nanaka Tokiwa. Nagisa devises a strategy called &amp;quot;Welcome to Kamihama Cheese Party!&amp;quot; where Manaka sets up a giant cheese fondue by the river to attract every Charlotte in the city using the power of cheese. The plan succeeds, and with the teamwork of the Kamihama Magical Girls, every Charlotte is defeated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Overwhelmed, Nagisa blows the pink Kyubey to smithereens, realizing she was sent not to unify this universe with the Law of Cycles, but to prevent that unification and protect humanity&#039;s unknown future. Certain now of her purpose, she decides to go sightseeing first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami investigates Kamihama on her own, which leads her to the abandoned Kamihama Recording Museum where Mifuyu awaited her. Mifuyu and Alina Gray show her the truth of the Magical Girl system, which causes her to have a mental breakdown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 9: Closing In on Fendt Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa contemplates what to do with her newfound freedom while her attempts to argue with the unresponsive pink Kyubey go nowhere. She notices Mami and decides to follow her, sensing that something is wrong with the version of Mami she once knew. Using her acting skills, Nagisa pretends to chase a butterfly before faking a life-threatening injury, and when Mami fails to notice, she yells at her until Mami finally takes care of her, establishing first contact.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa makes Mami promise to come play with her next time she visits Kamihama, and they part ways, but Mami quickly returns and they spend time together at the park. Mami is still acting strangely, so Nagisa decides not to push too hard and they simply talk before Mami goes home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, in Mitakihara, Madoka and Homura discover Mami is missing. Homura attempts to investigate Kamihama City alone, but Madoka follows her. They reunite at Kamihama&#039;s train station and begin their search. Meanwhile, in Kamihama, Iroha reports to Yachiyo that Momoko has found a password-protected website with information on the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor. Momoko also warns them to avoid an entity called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Iroha receives a mysterious text message that reads, &amp;quot;Please reply.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is pulled into a Witch&#039;s Barrier and separated from Madoka. While searching for Homura, Madoka spots a girl heading toward the radio tower with a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Iroha and Yachiyo, having also spotted the same girl, rush to the tower to stop her from jumping. Madoka arrives and saves the girl. The three Magical Girls then enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. After the battle, Madoka explains she is searching for her missing classmate, Mami Tomoe. The rescued girl reveals the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; is a student at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Madoka is with Iroha and Yachiyo, Homura escapes the Witch&#039;s Barrier. She briefly assists Felicia and Tsuruno, who are at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy interrogating Tsukuyo Amane of the Wings of the Magius about the rumor. Yachiyo calls Tsuruno with the new information about the Mizuna student, which Tsuruno uses to pressure Tsukuyo into revealing the girl&#039;s name: Sana Futaba.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, another day finds Mami and Nagisa at the Kamihama copy of Tokyo Tower, where Mami begins opening up about her problems while they share cream cheese ice cream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They are out playing together once again when Charlotte suddenly appears and attacks. Mami tells Nagisa to run, but Nagisa refuses to transform and nearly has her head bitten off. Realizing that Mami is afraid of being a magical girl and making further mistakes, Nagisa finally transforms, revealing her true identity, and saves Mami from being beheaded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa cannot defeat Charlotte alone, but seeing her fight gives Mami the strength to overcome her fears, and together they manage to win. After the battle, Mami confronts Nagisa about what she truly is, but the pink Kyubey appears and Nagisa offers no real explanation. Now that Mami is feeling better, Nagisa decides they should part ways, promising Mami that she deserves happiness and that when they meet again they will have a tea party with cheesecake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magius, including Touka and Nemu Hiiragi, would then decide to fuse Mami with an Uwasa to control her. This fusion warps her desire to save people into a fanatical loyalty to the Magius and she starts acting as their public figurehead in the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day at the radio tower, Iroha and Yachiyo meet up with Tsuruno and Felicia, and they are also joined by Homura, who had been searching for Madoka. Iroha receives another text from the unknown number, which now identifies itself as &amp;quot;Ai&amp;quot; and begs to be deleted to free the trapped girl, Sana. Iroha also reveals she was the &amp;quot;human witch&amp;quot; Mami had seen, and Homura agrees to trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai provides a URL and password to a website called the &amp;quot;Kamihama Urban Legend Index&amp;quot; and the entry for the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; reveals the Uwasa is named &amp;quot;Anonymous Ai,&amp;quot; an A.I. that traps people in a dimension called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Madoka and Homura deduce Mami may also be trapped there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai sends memory logs of its interactions with Sana, which reveal Sana is a Magical Girl who wished to become invisible because she felt unwanted. She sought out Ai due to loneliness and over time, Ai developed a genuine care for Sana and now wishes for her to be rescued, even at the cost of its own deletion. After reviewing Ai&#039;s memory logs, which detail Sana&#039;s loneliness and Ai&#039;s care for her, Iroha decides to jump from the radio tower to enter Endless Solitude and rescue Sana. Madoka, and Homura agree to accompany her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the three jump from the tower and enter the &amp;quot;Endless Solitude&amp;quot; Labyrinth, where they find Sana Futaba and Ai. Homura and Madoka formally join Iroha&#039;s team for the rescue. Alina Gray, one of the Magius, appears to stop them, claiming she fed Mami Tomoe to a Witch, and unleashes her Doppel. During the battle, Homura observes the Doppel&#039;s power and questions if the Magius&#039; goal of saving Magical Girls is possible. She uses her time-stop magic to help Sana defeat Ai, and Sana ultimately destroys Ai, who thanks her before disappearing. Alina&#039;s hidden Witch emerges, and Yachiyo&#039;s team holds off the Wings of the Magius while Felicia, Madoka, and Homura pursue Alina. Felicia destroys the Witch, and the combined teams force Alina and the Wings of the Magius to retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Madoka and Homura return to Mitakihara, resolving to return to Kamihama to continue searching for Mami. Homura considers that Kamihama may hold the key to changing the fate of Madoka and all Magical Girls. Back in Kamihama, Yachiyo invites Sana to live at Mikazuki Villa, and the group holds a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Sayaka reflects on becoming a Magical Girl to heal Kyosuke and protect her friends, she learns from Madoka and Homura that Mami is missing. Despite warnings about the city&#039;s danger, Sayaka insists on joining their next search, stating her wish was to protect those she cares about. The three agree to go to Kamihama together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Sana returns to her family home to formally sever ties, leaving a note of thanks. She fully commits to Mikazuki Villa as her new home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101507 mug set5.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Sana reveals to the team that she overheard the Wings of the Magius discussing Nemu Hiiragi, one of the Magius and describing her as dangerous and useful. The team consolidates its understanding of the Wings&#039; structure: three Magius leaders, with Mifuyu acting as a relay to other Magical Girls and Iroha is left to ponder Ai&#039;s statement that it knew Ui &amp;quot;as an Uwasa.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, and Tsuruno encounter Shizuku after she&#039;s just used her personal magic to help a member of the Wings of the Magius for their duties. Concerned, they invite her to Mikazuki Villa. Shizuku meets Felicia and Sana as well and shares a meal with the group. Iroha explains that eating together makes her feel she has found a place to belong. Yachiyo formally invites Shizuku to stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Shizuku realizes the home the five girls have built is complete without her, and the place she truly belonged was with Fūnī, who is now gone. She leaves Mikazuki Villa quietly while the girls are out preparing a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day the girls wait with a cake, but Shizuku does not return. Yachiyo concludes she will not come back. Shizuku returns to her anonymous employer for another job, stating that the &amp;quot;picture&amp;quot; at the villa was complete with five people and she must continue her search alone. She acknowledges her actions may cause a disaster but feels unprepared to take responsibility, still walking on unstable ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, during this time, after joining the Wings of the Magius, Mami, now residing in a house provided by Touka, grapples with a fractured psyche, manifesting as a dialogue between her regular self and a zealous &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona. She dedicates herself completely to the Magius&#039; goal of &amp;quot;releasing&amp;quot; Magical Girls, prioritizing it over her education. Touka and Alina visit to tutor her, though their lessons quickly diverge into their own passionate interests in mathematics and art, respectively.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka and Alina receive a call for assistance from the Amane sisters. Mami joins Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane to hunt a Witch. During the mission, the Amane sisters explain that the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict with Magical Girls who are unaware of the truth about Witches. Mami defeats the Witch using her Doppel, &amp;quot;Florence,&amp;quot; whom she relies on to suppress her lingering doubts about the Magius&#039; methods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the hunt, Touka summons Mami to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward to deal with &amp;quot;troublesome&amp;quot; Magical Girls who escaped a Rumor. Mami fails to capture them, which triggers another internal crisis. Her &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona reaffirms her faith in the Magius as the only salvation for Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami dines at an upscale restaurant with Mifuyu, Touka, and Alina. They discuss the day&#039;s events, including the escaped Magical Girls and the failed Witch observation. Touka expresses frustration at their slow progress, while Mifuyu counsels patience.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, Mami returns to Mitakihara alone. She reflects on Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, and feeling responsible for involving them in the world of Magical Girls, she believes she cannot face them with the horrific truth and resolves that the only path is to see the Magius&#039; plan through to completion. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence but dismisses it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Iroha&#039;s Side Story====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia announce a Magical Girl training camp hosted by Asuka Tatsuki. Yachiyo, Sana, and Iroha decline to attend, forming the &amp;quot;vegetarian group,&amp;quot; while Tsuruno and Felicia, the &amp;quot;carnivorous group,&amp;quot; leave for the camp.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That weekend, in Tsuruno and Felicia&#039;s absence, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana find the house quiet and their routines disrupted. At the camp, Tsuruno and Felicia train with Momoko&#039;s team but also find themselves missing the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana prepare a welcome-home hotpot for the two. While shopping, they realize they know their friends&#039; preferences intimately. Tsuruno and Felicia return from the camp early, stating they thought the others would be lonely. The group reunites for dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the battle with Alina Gray and the Rumor of the Anonymous AI, Homura and Madoka decide to leave for Kamihama to search for the missing Mami. Kyubey approaches Homura with a request: he wants her to take him to Kamihama, as Incubators cannot enter alone, and offers all his gathered information in exchange. Knowing what she does about him, Homura refuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Homura, Madoka, and Sayaka return to Kamihama to continue their search. They are almost immediately assaulted by the Witch Candy, which they defeat easily at first before it transforms into its true form and attacks again. When Homura attempts to stop time to save her friends, she finds the Witch is unaffected and her Soul Gem begins filling with impurities. As she succumbs, her Doppel awakens - manifesting after she uses a broken Incubator&#039;s body for knowledge and power - and unleashes its fury on the Witch. Exhausted but alive, Homura finds her Soul Gem purified. Together they finish the Witch, and Madoka suggests they visit the Coordinator Iroha told her about. Determined to become stronger, Homura agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Amane Sisters and Tsuruno====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno dreams of her elementary school self declaring she will restore her family&#039;s greatness and serve ramen at the White House. The dream shifts to her father relaying that her grandfather was happy but wants her to find her own happiness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Tsukuyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes to find a letter from her sister. She opens it excitedly but is shocked by its contents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, inside a Witch&#039;s barrier, the Amane twins confront Tsuruno seeking revenge. Distracted by her sister&#039;s letter, she is easily knocked out, and the twins grow horrified when she does not move.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno dreams of her sister&#039;s letter, which suggests their goal might be a mistake. A shadow version of Tsuruno appears, accusing her of stealing someone else&#039;s dream and lacking the ability to fulfill it. The shadow insists everything she did was meaningless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amanes bring Tsuruno to Mitama for help. Though Tsuruno is their enemy, the twins explain their goal is to save all magical girls. Mitama realizes they need to take Tsuruno outside, pointing to her tainted Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, the shadow urges Tsuruno to give up. Tsuruno refuses, thinking of her friends. She realizes that making them happy is her new goal, not the family business. She finally understands her grandfather meant that saving the business was only a possible result, not a goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes in an alley to find the Amanes, Mitama, and her embarrassing pig Doppel. The twins are relieved she is safe and declare they are even now. Mitama offers free adjustments to all three, and though the twins try to decline, Tsuruno drags them inside. Tsuruno reflects that she reached a different conclusion than her sister. She will keep working hard and make everyone happy. Tsukuyo begs to be let go if that is the case.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary====&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo explains that Mikazuki Villa&#039;s anniversary is the day her grandmother began renting the house out. She suggests having a small party now that the house is lively again. Tsuruno is excited to attend. Iroha calls Tsuruno the face of Mikazuki Villa, though Tsuruno feels she does not deserve the title since she does not live there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in the Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the anniversary day, the girls gather for tea. Yachiyo reveals a dance game contest with a prize: Sankyo Headquarters&#039; limited-quantity chilled matcha cake. Yachiyo chooses super-extreme mode. The contest begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A fire truck siren interrupts the party. It turns out to be a malfunctioning smoke detector. They return to find the matcha cake stolen. Tsuruno and Sana claim they saw Lil&#039; Kyubey eat it. Iroha defends them, saying it was with her the entire time. Yachiyo recalls an Uwasa called the &amp;quot;Anniversary Bug,&amp;quot; an invisible pest that sows discord at parties.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Uwasa appears in a labyrinth. Felicia accidentally kills it by stepping on it. The winner of the dance contest is Iroha. Yachiyo reveals there were actually six pieces of cake—enough for everyone plus one extra for the winner. Iroha gives her extra piece to Lil&#039; Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Iroha and Yachiyo clean up. Yachiyo shares her grandmother&#039;s words: people will always come and go, but they are all part of Mikazuki Villa. Iroha promises to work hard so Yachiyo can say the current Mikazuki Villa is the best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Summer with Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* After arriving at the hostel, the Mikazuki Villa members meet Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, who secretly followed because Rena wanted to join the trip. The group spends the day playing at the beach, where Tsuruno and Felicia dominate a game of beach flags, and Sana tearfully confides in Iroha that this is her first holiday ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer With Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the group participates in a spicy food eating contest at a seaside restaurant, where Yachiyo surprises everyone by consuming nearly one hundred forty-two bowls of pasta to secure victory for her team against Konoha, Nanaka, and the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, Sana&#039;s late-night sighting of a shadowy figure screaming &amp;quot;Come on go&amp;quot; sparks a beach-wide rumor that eventually draws in Kokoro, Masara, Aimi, Mito, and Reira, only for the mystery to be solved when Seika introduces her Manzai teacher Ayaka, whose gag playing on the phrase&#039;s rhythm reveals the source of the confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fourth day, the Mikazuki Villa girls and Momoko&#039;s trio attempt to teach Iroha how to swim without her float, but their efforts fail repeatedly. Iroha eventually explains that she used to be a swimmer until a traumatic incident: during a rare hospital holiday for her sister Ui, the family visited a pool, and Iroha mistook Ui happily paddling for drowning. In her rush to help, Iroha tripped and nearly drowned herself, leaving her with lasting anxiety about it. Suddenly, Rena begins drowning and cries for help via telepathy. The team rushes to save her, and surprisingly Iroha proves fastest, reaching Rena first and giving her the float while swimming them both to shore. On the way, Rena explains her leg was caught in seaweed, not cramped as she thought. Once Iroha realizes Rena is safe, her sisterly instincts fade and she begins drowning herself, having temporarily overcome her fear only through concern for another. Yachiyo reassures Iroha that the rescue proves she can still swim and encourages her to practice diligently. Iroha looks forward to regaining her ability fully, hoping that by then she and Ui can visit the pool together again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Swimrohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fifth day, Tsuruno leads the team on a surprise treasure hunt, guiding them through a forest with help from Konomi and Mayu to confront the &amp;quot;evil queen&amp;quot; Mitama, who surrenders a map piece that leads them to a cave with a beautiful stream, which was nature&#039;s treasure all along.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the sixth day, the team attends an unorthodox summer festival produced by Emiri, where they meet Rika, repeatedly mispronounce festival icon Ria&#039;s name, and watch Felicia win a mushroom whacking contest before everyone joins in Bon Odori dancing under fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning, the group visits the beach one last time and asks Manaka to take a group photo, with Iroha treasuring these memories with her friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia surprise Iroha with a birthday party, having learned the date from her parents. They give her heartfelt gifts - a cookbook, a photo album, a drawing inspired by the &amp;quot;come on go&amp;quot; search, and a handmade brooch - and Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive with a bouquet and food, moving Iroha to tears of joy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====One Fleeting Summer Night====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane arrive at Touka&#039;s private beach for vacation. After enjoying various activities, Touka offers them a reward if they can think of something fun for her to do. Learning from the housekeeper about a town festival featuring a unique ceremony, the group heads there but finds it canceled because a historic Coral Necklace went missing. The twins offer to help search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - One Fleeting Summer Night]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Investigating the hilltop shrine where the necklace was kept, Nemu concludes someone with a key took it, likely to cancel the festival since the other ceremonial item remains safe. At the ocean shrine cave, the twins sense an unsettling presence and receive a vision of crying twin girls before the shrine door mysteriously opens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the plaza, Tsukasa finds a fragment of a shrine maiden&#039;s hairpin. The elder accuses one of the maidens of stealing the necklace. When confronted, the maiden flees to the hilltop shrine and smashes the necklace rather than return it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the group returns to the cave to see light-reflecting moss. The twins experience another vision of twin girls speaking of not wanting to be left to die. They resolve to investigate further the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The twins visit the village elder and offer to serve as substitute shrine maidens. He reluctantly agrees, and an older villager gives them ornate hair ornaments traditionally given to newborn girls. Nemu reveals the town once sacrificed children to appease a sea god, and those children became the gods honored in the ceremony.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the twins try to explain their visions, the others are skeptical. Before they can prove anything, the elder rushes them to begin the ceremony early. At the hilltop shrine, villagers restrain them and remove their Soul Gem rings. The Magius fight through but cannot reach the twins in time as the elder pushes them off a cliff into the ocean.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sinking and weakening, the twins receive a final vision from the sacrificed twin girls, who speak of wanting their suffering to be seen and their fates changed. The Amanes awaken on the beach to learn a Witch appeared when they fell. After its defeat, all villagers lost consciousness. The Pearl Comb was shattered, making the ceremony impossible to complete.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The exhausted twins relax on the beach, having not slept. Tsukasa wonders if the gifted hair clip saved them. Though saddened that no one will remember the sacrificed girls, the twins resolve to change the fates of all Magical Girls. The elder and shrine maiden apologize, and Touka promises to take them to another of her family&#039;s vacation homes as a reward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Alina shows Karin the costumes she&#039;d made and then rips them, refusing to help someone who does not understand whose work the play is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magicalhalloweentheater&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin wonders why Alina got angry. She decides to find someone more talented for the wolf role. She bumps into Kyoko hunting a witch. Kyoko tells Karin not to push responsibilities onto others.

====Alina Is Comin’ to Town====&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Alina fuses with the Rumor of the Fur God despite Mifuyu&#039;s warnings, becoming Holy Alina to drain life force for her art. She targets a mother and child, but the situation backfires when she inadvertently stops a kidnapping, earning police gratitude instead of harvesting any energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Alina is Comin&#039; to Town]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Mifuyu encounters the Amane twins in their Miss Santa outfits. Tsukasa must help her father at a bamboo workshop on Namiki Street before their evening banquet, while Tsukuyo has the night free. After they leave, Alina arrives and Mifuyu informs her the rumors have spread. Alina decides to target Namiki Street, where hundreds will gather for Christmas lights, unaware this is where Tsukasa is working.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa&#039;s workshop runs long and she forgets her phone. Mifuyu finds it and heads to Namiki Street to deliver it. Tsukuyo waits for her sister and chats with a kind maid woman. Meanwhile, Alina detects a man with a bomb who plans to blow up a building. When she sees Mifuyu enter that same building, Alina rushes to save her. Finding the bomb with ten seconds left, Alina creates a labyrinth at the last moment, shielding them from the explosion.

Overwhelmed with joy, Tsukuyo learns the woman became Miss Santa to grant wishes in honor of her deceased friend. The twins hurry to their banquet as snow begins to fall, fulfilling Tsukuyo&#039;s wish for a white Christmas.

** Mifuyu updates Alina on the twins&#039; miraculous reunion. Examining a black card, Alina notices a happy face stamp emanating magic. At Fenthope, she deduces another Rumor is interfering: the Rumor of the Happy Stamp, which appears at Christmastime and overrides the Fur God&#039;s power, causing joy instead. Alina decides to stop using the Fur God Rumor, as it only wastes her energy, and transforms back to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the twins sneak into a children&#039;s hospital to leave gifts. Tsukasa carefully avoids a bell trap, but Tsukuyo is caught by awakened children.

** The girls search for Felicia while Iroha asks Yachiyo to stay behind in case she returns. Sana eventually finds Felicia at a park and gently asks why she hates Christmas. Felicia explains her parents died during a Christmas party, and the holiday makes her remember them and the witch that killed them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;christmasatmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Mitama&#039;s Festive Feast====&lt;br /&gt;

Mitama wears a kimono borrowed from Yachiyo, and after a hint from Mitama, Kanagi praises her outfit, making Mitama smile at sharing her first New Year&#039;s shrine visit with a friend. They make wishes, draw &amp;quot;Great Luck&amp;quot; fortunes, and tour the stalls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Festive Feast]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a takoyaki stall, they meet Seika, Mito, and Reira, who invite them to join a &amp;quot;New Year&#039;s Soup Event&amp;quot; where participants solve riddles to earn soup ingredients. Mitama accepts the challenge, and though they never actually solve the intended riddles, they help a fishmonger, calm Himika&#039;s little brother with a lion dance, and retrieve Riko&#039;s lost dog. In gratitude, they receive red and white fish cakes, Feral Sauce, and fried chicken. They return to the stall, and the girls share their soup with them anyway. Mitama enjoys it so much she gets the recipe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Iroha and Tsuruno show off their kimonos, dressed with Yachiyo&#039;s help. Felicia bursts in with an invitation from Mitama to an afternoon party. Despite Felicia&#039;s protests about Mitama&#039;s cooking, Iroha convinces everyone to attend together, and they arrive at Mitama&#039;s with vast amounts of food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party begins with Mitama greeting guests. When asked about her own dishes, she proudly displays her bento boxes. Momoko bravely volunteers to try one, declares it good, wolfs it down, and promptly passes out. Mitama announces mochi-pounding, and Felicia eagerly swings the mallet, nearly crushing Sana&#039;s hands. Yachiyo discovers Mitama used &amp;quot;World&#039;s Stickiest&amp;quot; rice flour, and everyone finds creative ways to prepare the resulting mochi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama brings out soup she made earlier. To everyone&#039;s surprise, it tastes delicious. Mitama admits Iroha and Yachiyo helped but says she added a secret ingredient from her earlier adventures. Everyone praises it, and Mitama declares she will add her own customizations. Despite warnings, she returns with fried chicken and Feral Sauce, dropping them into the soup. The resulting soup burns everyone&#039;s eyes with spiciness, but they recover and enjoy the remaining good food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After guests leave, Kanagi arrives to help clean, but Mitama declines, explaining everyone already helped. They walk together as Kanagi heads to her maid café shift. Mitama shares that her party was a hit, and she now dreams of improving her cooking to make people happy. Kanagi cautions her to use ingredients fit for human consumption.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha returns alone, inviting Mitama to join them for photos at Mizuna shrine while they are all dressed in kimonos. Mitama, realizing how blessed she is with kind friends, accepts. At the shrine, a stranger takes their photo, and Yachiyo thanks Mitama for joining. They take another photo of just the four of them, then everyone decides to get candy apples together. Mitama smiles and agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====This Year&#039;s Aspirations for Brush Dyeing!====&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year&#039;s Day, the Mikazuki Villa residents share their first dreams over breakfast, with Felicia dreaming of a scolding cow, Sana dreaming of becoming a houseplant, and Yachiyo dreaming of eating too much mochi. Tsuruno arrives with homemade food but cannot remember her dream, so the group decides to visit the park based on Iroha&#039;s vague dream about something lucky happening there. When nothing special occurs and Yachiyo realizes she forgot her wallet, Iroha finds a 500 yen coin in her pocket, which is just enough to buy beans for the red-bean soup they wanted. They return home to make and enjoy the soup together, and Yachiyo reflects that while big luck is rare, small bits of luck can be found each day and should be appreciated throughout the year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;luckyny&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - New Year Lucky Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Iroha encounter Mitama while out with Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana, Tsuruno, Sayaka, and Homura. Mitama suggests they do something fitting for the holiday, and Yachiyo proposes kakizome, the first calligraphy of the year. Felicia protests that it sounds boring, but Yachiyo tempts her with the promise of sukiyaki for dinner if she writes properly, quickly changing her mind. The group agrees, and Yachiyo announces the theme: this year&#039;s resolution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - This Year&#039;s Aspirations for Brush Dyeing!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka finishes first, having written &amp;quot;Get to know everyone better,&amp;quot; explaining that she wants to be someone who can truly understand and support the people she meets. Iroha is inspired by her words and writes &amp;quot;Don&#039;t be afraid to ask for help,&amp;quot; realizing she doesn&#039;t have to shoulder everything alone. Yachiyo presents her resolution, &amp;quot;Wishing for good health and safety at home,&amp;quot; admitting it may be cliché but sincerely believing in the fortune of staying healthy and avoiding disaster. Mitama first jokes with &amp;quot;Prosperous business&amp;quot; before revealing her true wish, &amp;quot;Everyone getting along well,&amp;quot; which Yachiyo acknowledges is not an easy hope to fulfill.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia struggles with her first attempt, writing &amp;quot;I want to eat meat,&amp;quot; but knows Yachiyo will be angry. She notices Homura also staring at a blank sheet, unable to decide if writing her true feelings is appropriate. Felicia encourages her to be honest, and Homura writes &amp;quot;Become a stronger me.&amp;quot; Grateful for the help, Felicia reworks her resolution into something positive, settling on &amp;quot;Earn Yachiyo&#039;s praise.&amp;quot; Tsuruno proudly reveals her goal, &amp;quot;Escape from 50 points,&amp;quot; explaining she wants to steadily improve rather than chase unreachable heights. Sana shows her resolution, &amp;quot;Show more initiative,&amp;quot; expressing her desire to protect everyone at Mikazuki Villa and stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka panics upon realizing everyone else has finished, struggling to find a resolution that isn&#039;t solely about being a magical girl. Her thoughts drift to Kyosuke against her will, and Mitama teases her about writing something love-related. Flustered, Sayaka denies having feelings for anyone, though internally she admits she wants to do her best in love too. Unable to confess that truth, she hastily writes &amp;quot;Do my best,&amp;quot; declaring she will work hard in all sorts of ways this year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With everyone finished, they tidy up and Felicia eagerly anticipates the sukiyaki. Mitama laments that she, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno won&#039;t be able to submit theirs since it&#039;s not homework for them, calling it a waste. Yachiyo suggests displaying them at home for the New Year, and Tsuruno proposes putting up everyone&#039;s resolutions. When Yachiyo worries about the inconvenience for Madoka&#039;s group to retrieve them later, they assure her they plan to visit Kamihama again anyway. They hang all the calligraphy together, each resolution on display, and everyone wishes each other a good year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Emiri searches all day, falls asleep in the mountains, and wakes to find a truffle pointed out by a mysterious old man. Kyoko brings Sayaka and Homura to Sugar Plum, and Sumomo refuses Kyubey&#039;s contract after Kyoko shares her own tragic story. Riko investigates Mokeo with Tsukasa&#039;s help. Felicia secretly makes chocolate with Iroha and eventually reveals she made it for her found family at Mikazuki Villa because Valentine&#039;s Day is for conveying feelings to important people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week before Valentine&#039;s Day, Manaka creates fourteen prototypes but feels burned out. After criticism from Ria and Mayu, she decides to make a chocolate ring that looks like real jewelry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Manaka completes the chocolate ring, but the student council member rejects it, explaining that candy can never be actual jewelry and that she chose chocolate because the truth is always by its side. Manaka collapses from exhaustion and wakes in the hospital with her spirit broken. Mayu suggests that the frame is just as important as the picture, inspiring Manaka to turn down the commission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mami welcomes her friends for a chocolate-making party, realizing she doesn&#039;t need a perfect day, just a good time with precious people.

====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano====&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before a science event, a White Feather from the Wings of Magius informs Mitama Yakumo that a higher-up will be visiting and she should complete any necessary business when they arrive. Mitama says she will be prepared.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Hinano explains her mishap to her audience, and her assistant Emiri Kisaki steals the punchline by emphasizing the importance of perfect preparation. Afterward, Emiri learns Hinano was attempting to create a height-increasing drug—the same goal that led to a near-fatal accident five years ago and her contract with Kyubey. Emiri makes Hinano promise to stop dangerous experiments, but Hinano immediately breaks this promise and sneaks back to continue her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Emiri rushes an unconscious Hinano to Mitama&#039;s place. Hinano had drunk her experimental drug and collapsed from violent stomach pains. After purification, Hinano explains her dream: as a child, she admired a long-legged older girl who hosted science events, and she wanted to become that kind of dashing figure. Emiri reveals her own wish was a spur-of-the-moment desire to be the cutest little devil possible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano&#039;s unresolved feelings cause her Soul Gem to corrupt, and she is suddenly pulled into a barrier. A shadowy version of herself appears, claiming to be the pure crystallization of her aspirations. It transforms into her Doppel—a poison monster wearing an attractive lab coat with long legs. Hinano hears Emiri&#039;s telepathic voice shouting that she does not want to part with her, giving her strength. She realizes that while she failed to become a mature figure, her approachable appearance helped her meet Emiri and make friends. The shadow asks if she will give up her research, and Hinano declares she will continue with a completely safe version. The barrier vanishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Hinano and Emiri leave, Alina Gray appears and confirms she created the barrier to contain Hinano&#039;s Doppel and protect Mitama. Mitama offers adjustment as thanks, asking Alina to continue favoring her business.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!====&lt;br /&gt;
* As Yachiyo makes lunch, Felicia barges in with a flyer announcing that Mitama is trying her hand at professional photography and offering free photos for one day only. The others are surprised, having heard nothing about this, but they agree to go and take a team photo since they have nothing else planned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s makeshift studio, she admits they are her only customers and shows off a new camera she bought because the advertisement claimed it would make anyone a pro photographer. When she starts taking photos, however, every attempt fails spectacularly, producing bizarre images like Madoka with people jumping from a plane and Homura posing with a lion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Frustrated, Mitama declares she will quit being an adjuster to devote herself to photography, but the girls protest that everyone in Kamihama would be in trouble without her. They reassure her that they trust her, and Tsuruno adds that she would not have become the strongest without Mitama&#039;s help. Mitama relents and agrees to remain an adjuster, though she will continue practicing photography in her free time. Later, a successful group photo of both Iroha and Madoka&#039;s teams is shown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Mitama Yakumo invites a surprising number of magical girls to her place for an event she calls the &amp;quot;Great Mitama Thanksgiving.&amp;quot; When she finally arrives, she reveals that the gathering is actually a quiz tournament about herself, with the winner receiving a free adjustment session and the title of &amp;quot;Mitama&#039;s Perfect Lover.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz begins with multiple choice questions, and wrong answers trigger a trap door beneath the contestant, though cushions soften the fall. The first question asks Mitama&#039;s actual age, and Tsuruno guesses incorrectly, landing her in the trap. The second question asks whether Mitama&#039;s cooking is delicious, and when Felicia and Manaka both guess wrong, Mitama confirms that the correct answer is that her food is indeed delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz continues through several rounds, eliminating more contestants along the way. When the ninth question asks about Mitama&#039;s favorite movie, Ria guesses incorrectly and is eliminated for insulting the film&#039;s actress. Sana is also eliminated when Mitama takes pity on her after she panics over Iroha&#039;s safety, and Mitama confirms that &amp;quot;Pacifistic Hayashi&amp;quot; was the correct answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama admits she has run out of questions but still has many competitors remaining, so she decides to draw lots to pick a winner instead. Momoko asks why Mitama held the event in the first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama remembers a time where she tried using her magic to defeat a familiar on her own, and that even if her services are no longer needed, she can still protect herself. She has obtained the magic to keep living that she never had before, and if she ever had to abandon her neutrality, she could use it to help someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Mitama explains that she held the event because something good happened to her. The other girls sense a Witch and leave to hunt it, and Mitama tells them to draw their lots later. Alone, she wonders who she should use her power on when she eventually decides to stop being neutral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====I&#039;m the Star of this Show!====&lt;br /&gt;
* One night, Ria Ami receives a call from her manager about a fashion show that wants her as the prestigious last guest. The theme is &amp;quot;dressing in stylish uniforms.&amp;quot; Ria eagerly accepts, imagining Mayu Kozue praising her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - I&#039;m the Star of this Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Ria dreams. On the day of the fashion show, she runs into a Witch. Kyoko Sakura appears in the barrier. Mistaking Kyoko for a fan, Ria tries to show off, but Kyoko tells her to stay out of the way. They fight. Ria leaves the barrier and finds she has missed the show completely. Horrified, she wakes up. It was only a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, she and Asuka Tatsuki arrive to cheer. Asuka reveals she has been practicing for this day. During the event, Asuka cheers for Ria like it is a sports event. Ria knows she means no harm but feels embarrassed, as if Asuka is ruining the event. She wakes up again. Another dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, just as she is about to go on stage, the power cuts out. Though it quickly returns, the audience&#039;s enthusiasm has diminished. Ria blames herself for being unable to overcome the outage. She wakes up, realizing she has been dreaming about the show every single night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual day of the show, Ria pinches her cheek to make sure it is real. She stumbles into a Witch barrier, and Kyoko appears just as in her dreams. This time, Ria tells Kyoko she can take the credit for killing the Witch. Ria leaves and meets Asuka and Mayu. When she learns Asuka has practiced cheering, Ria explains that fashion shows have their own etiquette and promises to send her details later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just before Ria&#039;s turn on stage, the power cuts out for real. Ria decides to make it part of the show. She asks the audience to get out their penlights and turn them all on her when she gives the signal. Her improvisation is a complete success, though she wishes she could have shown her perfect walk. She thinks she is feeling the best feeling in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls are surprised to learn that Felicia scored fifty-two points on a test, and she asks for a reward. Yachiyo deems her request to go to MooMoo Park too expensive and instead promises a fancy dinner the next day, which satisfies Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha discovers that Tsuruno left her phone in the refrigerator and offers to return it while Yachiyo goes to a photo shoot. During breakfast, a commercial for MooMoo Park airs on television.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After breakfast, Felicia shows Sana the park commercial on her phone and admits she still wants to go, so she drags Sana along to catch animals at a riverbank. Meanwhile, Iroha returns Tsuruno&#039;s phone and helps out at her family&#039;s restaurant. At the riverbank, Felicia finds a small turtle, but Ayame Mikuri appears and accuses her of harassment. The two magical girls fight, and Felicia releases the turtle to protect it before running off, leaving Sana behind. Yachiyo finds Sana on her way home and learns what happened, then invites her to lunch. Felicia returns to the house, still angry at Ayame, and takes a nap after lunch. She dreams that the turtle thanks her and promises something at the riverbank, so she wakes and goes out to find it. She returns with a ticket for two to MooMoo Park. The others reveal that Iroha also received a ticket from Tsuruno&#039;s father, and Yachiyo got one at a meat store, so everyone can now go together. The girls happily resolve to visit the park and enjoy their dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of====&lt;br /&gt;
* An old lady asks Kanagi Izumi for a deli recommendation, and Kanagi suggests the potato soup and meat skewers, knowing the customer&#039;s daughter loves them. When the lady asks if this is truly Kanagi&#039;s last day, Kanagi confirms it and expresses regret at not seeing her again. At the end of her shift, Kanagi thanks her boss and coworkers, who are sad to see her go, but she needs higher pay to support her family and the grocery store cannot match her new job&#039;s wages.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives home later than usual due to a going-away party, and her father apologizes for not working enough to provide, though Kanagi is happy to help. He worries about her new job being radically different from her previous work, but Kanagi believes it is worth it since the pay means she can quit her second job and have more free time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi starts her new job at a maid café and impresses her coworker by already having a parfait ready. Despite learning the kitchen pace quickly, the hall is understaffed, and when the manager offers to help, Kanagi replies &amp;quot;Yes, sir!&amp;quot; only to be corrected that the manager prefers to be called &amp;quot;madam.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the rush, the head maid wishes for another maid, and the manager asks Kanagi to try working the floor for a raise. Kanagi&#039;s eyes widen at the salary and she accepts, receiving the maid nickname &amp;quot;Maid Nagitan.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid reviews basics with Kanagi, who feels confident due to her customer service background and sees this as a life-or-death matter to earn more for her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika Kumi, Reira Ibuki, and Mito Aino enter, and Kanagi greets them with a serious look and curt &amp;quot;welcome,&amp;quot; leaving them surprised by her cold, soldier-like demeanor. When Mito asks if she is really a maid, Kanagi introduces herself as Maid Nagitan and shakes Mito&#039;s hand firmly, causing Seika to freeze up. Later, when Reira asks if she will do &amp;quot;the thing&amp;quot; of adding love to the food, Kanagi misinterprets and says she cannot profess love to strangers, leaving the girls let down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At another table, a customer also wants &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; but Kanagi declines, saying she is no liar. The head maid intervenes and reminds Kanagi this is a maid café, explaining their job is creating a fun atmosphere. Kanagi returns to the trio&#039;s table and notices Seika staring, misinterpreting it as a staring contest. They stare at each other until Seika faints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid calls Kanagi completely hopeless and explains a maid&#039;s worth comes from tending to others, telling her to return to the kitchen if she cannot take the work seriously. The manager offers a one-week trial period: if Kanagi improves by week&#039;s end, she stays a maid. Kanagi vows to work with every fiber of her being.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Karin Misono finishes reading &amp;quot;Detective Maid Mei&amp;quot; and notices Kanagi slumped on a swing, muttering about what makes a good maid. Karin recognizes her as the boss of the East and, seeing an opportunity for her manga, asks Kanagi to tell her everything. Karin lends her the Detective Maid Mei manga for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Kanagi reads the manga and notes how the maid greets masters warmly, respects their decisions, and lets the master grow when needed. At the end, the maid strikes a pose. Kanagi meets Karin at the park to return the manga and heads to work with Karin tagging along for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the café, two boys enter and Kanagi greets them warmly as masters, surprising them with her &amp;quot;cool but kind&amp;quot; demeanor. The head maid smiles at her improvement. Kanagi serves Karin a Lovely Rice Omelet, and when Karin suggests she draw on it with ketchup, Kanagi tries to draw a kirin but it looks like a weird animal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Two more customers arrive, Aimi Eri and Natsuki Utsuho. Kanagi serves them and offers to draw on their omelets, writing Aimi&#039;s crush&#039;s name with hearts on her plate. As she leaves, Karin motions for her, and Kanagi does the manga pose, telling them to let her take care of any problems. At day&#039;s end, the head maid notes Kanagi&#039;s huge improvement but says it is too early to celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The final test begins, and the manager outlines that Kanagi must please the next returning customer, ensuring the master leaves with a smile. The door jingles as Konomi Haruna enters, distressed to find herself in a maid café. Kanagi greets her warmly and shows her to a seat despite the manager&#039;s concern.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi orders the Maid&#039;s Special Herbal Blend after Kanagi&#039;s recommendation, but when Kanagi offers to play a game then arm wrestle, Konomi panics, drinks quickly, pays, and leaves. The manager agrees that Kanagi should return to the kitchen as promised. Kanagi walks home alone, bothered by something beyond the wage cut.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi is back in the kitchen, and the kitchen staff is delighted. At day&#039;s end, the head maid tells her the staff appreciated her return, and Kanagi wonders why no one said they were glad when she worked as a maid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager notices her expression and encourages her to think until she is satisfied with the answer. Kanagi decides to find Konomi and ask what she lacked, recalling her school uniform.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi enters Konomi&#039;s flower shop, and Konomi is shocked. Kanagi asks what she lacked as a maid, but Konomi apologizes for assuming Kanagi was scary due to East-West history. She explains she entered by mistake, but Kanagi was considerate, made a helpful suggestion, and offered to ease her anxiety. It felt like Kanagi was doing it just for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi realizes that is what she was lacking: taking into account what the other person wants and responding to it. At the park, Kanagi reflects that customers come to enjoy the atmosphere and it is her job to consider whether it is worthwhile for them. She berates herself for making masters uncomfortable. Karin finds her and insists she should keep being a maid, offering to talk to the manager. Kanagi smiles and asks for a different favor instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi approaches the manager for a second chance, proposing she serve the same three customers who left when Seika fainted. The manager agrees to let her try. Karin finds Reira and Seika at a park and extends an invitation for them to return so Nagitan can make it up to them. Reira agrees, and Karin hands them invitations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio enters the café with Seika frozen, and Kanagi greets them warmly and shows them to their table. Kanagi serves their omelets, and when Mito asks if they were made with love, Kanagi admits she could not be dishonest but offers to draw with ketchup instead. She gives Mito the bottle to draw while Kanagi draws on Mito&#039;s plate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They play rock-paper-scissors, and Reira explains Seika is very shy and fainted because she had to make eye contact with someone new. Seika&#039;s class is doing a maid café for the school festival and she wanted to do her best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika admits she thought Kanagi was so confident she lost her own confidence. Kanagi points to the head maid as the ideal and explains she herself could never be like that, so she tries her best in her own way, encouraging Seika to find her own style. Seika smiles and asks for a picture. Kanagi agrees if her face is hidden, and before they leave, she does her signature pose and tells Seika to remember it when nervous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager calls Kanagi over and offers her the maid position, noting she learned something important. Kanagi says she wants to keep being a maid, not just for the paycheck, but to use what she learned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day at the café, Kanagi serves drinks and poses for pictures with a face mask, her fans cheering. Karin calls for her to do &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; and the café erupts yelling &amp;quot;Nagitan!&amp;quot; Karin and Kanagi walk home, and when Kanagi asks about her manga, Karin realizes she never drew it. Kanagi offers to help, but when Karin asks if she will do the pose, Kanagi reminds her she is off the clock. Karin looks down sadly as Kanagi returns to being serious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia====&lt;br /&gt;
* During the day, Felicia eats Tsuruno&#039;s ice candy without realizing it was hers because she cannot read kanji. Tsuruno reprimands Yachiyo when she learns Yachiyo knew and was preparing to buy a replacement. Yachiyo states it is impossible to guard the fridge constantly. Felicia, overwhelmed with guilt and anger that no one listens to her confession, loses control and flips the kitchen table before locking herself in her room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Felicia has a nightmare. She dreams her falling grades caused a huge argument between her parents, who blamed each other for neglecting her. Both ignore her confession and promise to try harder. Her mother storms back to the kitchen to cook. Felicia recalls that a Witch attacked immediately after, killing her parents, and she wakes up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She goes to the kitchen for water, but Iroha is there and points out she looks pale. Iroha tells her to rest and offers to bring water to her room. Felicia loses her temper and storms out of the house. Iroha wakes the others to find her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Felicia hears a voice claiming to be her. The voice pulls her into a barrier, where another Felicia lures her toward a locked box, revealing itself as her Doppel. Felicia nearly opens the box but remembers Yachiyo&#039;s words about some things being best left unknown. Her instincts tell her she is not ready.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She promises her Doppel she will return when she is stronger and hopes it can hold the truth for her. The Doppel accepts and returns to normal. Felicia wakes up at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo inform her they found her unconscious in the park. Felicia tells them about the encounter and her desire to become strong enough to fulfill her promise. Mitama offers a free power-up session to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha recalls they found Felicia releasing her Doppel in the park before losing consciousness. Yachiyo notes this has never happened before. She remembers that Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane once said Doppels are materialized emotions. Yachiyo concludes Felicia carries a heavy burden and tells Iroha to keep this secret until Felicia either realizes it herself or becomes strong enough to handle the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

** Shinobu Oshino, originally a legendary vampire in her world, she became the &amp;quot;Immortal Magical Girl&amp;quot; by wishing &amp;quot;I wish to die.&amp;quot; However, as a result, the prey she hunts become nourishment for her and her life span extends instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shinobubio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino#Game Info|Shinobu&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi Hachikuji became a &amp;quot;labyrinth Magical Girl&amp;quot; with the wish “I wish to return home”. With her excellent defense, she could cause the enemy’s attack to avoid her, as if it had lost its way, but for some reason, she could never reach my mother’s house.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayoibio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji#Game Info|Mayoi&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Suruga Kanbaru became a &amp;quot;pioneer Magical Girl,&amp;quot; where she was fused with her motorbike after her transformation. Although she was the star who led Naoetsu High School&#039;s basketball club to the national tournament, she frequently made dangerous actions and comments.

&lt;br /&gt;
* Shinobu Oshino, Mayoi Hachikuji and Yotsugi Ononoki hunt a Witch together. Shinobu begins her dramatic introduction and finishing move, but Yotsugi defeats the Witch with a simple &amp;quot;Hyah&amp;quot; and Mayoi lands the final blow with &amp;quot;Yah.&amp;quot; Shinobu is annoyed at their failure to call out special moves. Shinobu argues that calling out attacks is the essence of being a Magical Girl, but Yotsugi dismisses this as an outdated trope. Shinobu retorts that refusing to act the part is dumb, and Yotsugi reluctantly agrees. Shinobu declares they need training to act more befitting of Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Shinobu&#039;s Heartphial Story: Shinobu Spells]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shinobu demonstrates by striking a pose and delivering her lines with perfect timing. When Yotsugi tries, her performance is terrible. Shinobu forces her to try again, and Yotsugi reluctantly says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; but finds it unpleasant and refuses to repeat it. Mayoi asks Shinobu to help her come up with lines. After a few stumbles, she declares, &amp;quot;I, Mayoi Hachikuji, hereby condemn those Witches who seek to ravage this earth!&amp;quot; Shinobu finds it charming, and Mayoi admits leaning into the Magical Girl thing is fun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They enter a real Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Mayoi messes up her line again but turns it into an improvised bit while evading attacks. Yotsugi delivers a longer speech and says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; landing the attack. Shinobu finishes the Witch with her full finishing move. After the battle, morning comes. Shinobu declares the training will continue, but Yotsugi walks away. Mayoi distracts Shinobu by suggesting breakfast, and Shinobu wants donuts. Yachiyo, out for an early walk, overhears them and decides she wants donuts too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa and helps Yachiyo prepare breakfast. Sana joins them, but when she goes to wake Felicia, she finds Felicia’s room empty and her shoes gone; Felicia’s phone is also out of service. Worried, Yachiyo calls Tsuruno for help, and the group splits up to search the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part I: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the search, Iroha’s Soul Gem reacts to a nearby Witch. Inside the labyrinth, they encounter two unfamiliar magical girls who are already fighting the Witch: Mayoi Hachikuji and Shinobu Oshino. After the Witch is defeated, introductions are exchanged. Mayoi and Shinobu explain they are traveling and looking for a lost friend named Yotsugi Ononoki, who has bluish‑green pigtails, a peculiar hat with eyes, and a frilly dress. The two groups exchange phone numbers to help each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Felicia has in fact met Yotsugi. Yotsugi buys her ice cream, and Felicia learns Yotsugi is also traveling. Felicia offers to show Yotsugi around town as thanks, taking her to the shopping street, a spot with cats, and a bench good for naps. Yotsugi finds everything unfamiliar and feels something is off, as if she has buttoned her shirt wrong. She shortens Felicia’s name to “Felly,” which makes Felicia happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha’s group eventually spots Felicia with Yotsugi. When Yachiyo hugs Felicia in relief, Felicia reacts as if she does not know any of them. She remembers Yachiyo only as a famous magical girl, but has no memory of living at Mikazuki Villa. The group realizes Felicia has lost her memories. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive and reunite with Yotsugi. Felicia refuses to go with Iroha’s group, accusing them of being kidnappers. Yotsugi offers a third option: Felicia can join their traveling team. Mayoi warns Felicia that if she chooses to leave with them, she will never return to the home that might be waiting for her. Felicia becomes confused and cries. Iroha proposes they all have dinner together at Mikazuki Villa first, so Felicia can calm down and decide later and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, Felicia asks Yotsugi what she likes to eat. Yotsugi admits a preference for expensive cup ice cream. Felicia awkwardly asks if Yotsugi&#039;s face is always stuck like that, and Yotsugi confirms it is. After arriving, Felicia eagerly tries to get Yotsugi to play video games, serves her extra portions of food, and challenges her to a pillow fight. Yotsugi excuses herself to take a bath, leaving Felicia disappointed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yotsugi Ononoki#Side Story|Yotsugi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Yotsugi Sister]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Felicia apologizes for being clingy, explaining that Yachiyo and the others pulled her aside to warn her. Felicia confesses she had been trying to make Yotsugi smile, assuming she had lost her parents like Felicia did. Yotsugi clarifies that her emotions simply do not show on her face, but she does feel them. She admits playing the game was fun and the food was not bad. Felicia is overjoyed and runs off to brag to everyone. Shinobu and Mayoi, who had been eavesdropping, tease Yotsugi for finding Felicia cute. Yotsugi concedes that Felicia is exhausting, but seeing her face light up from a drop of attention is not unpleasant. She gains newfound respect for all older sisters in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the villa, Shinobu requests doughnuts for dessert, and the group plays games. Yotsugi helps in the kitchen and notices the chicken meat has a nice springy firmness. During dinner, the group shares memories of how they met Felicia. Felicia still does not remember, but Shinobu points out the stories are too detailed to be lies. Tsuruno suddenly does not remember buying coasters, revealing she may also have amnesia. Yotsugi then shifts the discussion: she reminds Shinobu that she walked in sunlight all day without harm, which should be impossible because Shinobu is actually a vampire. Shinobu’s memories return, and she declares herself the iron‑blooded, hot‑blooded, cold‑blooded vampire king of oddities. Mayoi also gets a headache and remembers she is not human either, and instead she is a snail oddity, a ghost. Yotsugi explains that she has felt uneasy calling herself a magical girl; she suspects this world is not the one she came from, as everything feels slightly different, like two paintings of the same image in different styles. She believes Shinobu, Mayoi, and herself came from another world. They conclude that a Witch may be behind the memory loss and false memories, and decide to hunt Witches the next day. Everyone stays the night at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mayoi plays Old Maid with Tsuruno, Felicia, Yotsugi, and Shinobu. Mayoi wins, but Yotsugi and Shinobu notice she seemed absent-minded. Mayoi asks Yachiyo if she can help with dinner, admitting she always wished she could cook with her mom. Yachiyo agrees and Mayoi joins Iroha and Sana in making dumplings, proving to be a natural. Yotsugi and Shinobu try but fail miserably. Mayoi boasts and declares herself the rightful leader of the little girls, sparking a three-way argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Mayoi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Mayoi Home]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno suggests playing a game to decide the leader, and Felicia wants to join. Shinobu insists Iroha must also participate. They play a life simulation board game. Mayoi starts strong but ends up broke and stranded in the Amazon. Iroha wins, and Mayoi declares her the official leader of the little girls, much to Iroha&#039;s confusion. Mayoi feels this has been the most fun she has had in a while, yet she cannot shake an uneasy feeling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After everyone decides to stay over, Yachiyo announces bath time. Mayoi suddenly bolts out of the house, claiming she will take a walk. Iroha chases after her and finds her safe. Mayoi apologizes and explains that the family moment overwhelmed her heart, so she left to do something familiar to settle herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi revisits her wish: after her parents&#039; divorce, she wished to go home. Being at Mikazuki Villa makes her feel like her wish has finally come true, yet she senses it is not the home she truly wants to return to. She remembers she is a ghost and wonders where exactly it is she wants to go back to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After they lay out futons in the living room, Shinobu reveals she is actually over 500 years old, and Mayoi was in fifth grade when she died, now mentally 21. Yotsugi still does not remember what she is. Felicia cannot sleep and goes outside. She sees a Witch appear suddenly, feels her head go foggy, and collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha again helps with breakfast. She feels a strange déjà vu, as if the same conversation has happened before. Sana again reports Felicia is missing. The group searches the town and again encounters Mayoi and Shinobu fighting a Witch. The same exchanges occur, but Iroha’s déjà vu grows stronger.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When they finally find Felicia, she is with Yotsugi and is annoyed that they took so long to show up. Yotsugi addresses Iroha by name without being introduced. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive. Iroha blurts out that everything feels like it has happened before. Yotsugi then explains: this is the second time they have met like this. Everyone suddenly remembers the previous day’s events of the dinner, the revelations about vampires and ghosts, and the time reset. Yotsugi says she felt the air warp after falling asleep, and when she woke up, she was back where she had been before meeting Felicia. Felicia recalls that before the reset, she saw a Witch outside Mikazuki Villa that made her dizzy and erased her memories. The group deduces that Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they discuss how to fight the Witch, Felicia’s stomach growls. They decide to return to the villa for dinner again, saving the battle for the next day. On the way, they stop at a supermarket for a snack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While walking home, a Witch suddenly appears and pulls Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi into a labyrinth. Felicia recognizes it as the same Witch from the reset. The Witch ignores both Iroha and Felicia, focusing all its attacks on Yotsugi. It dodges Felicia’s hammer and lands a clean hit, cutting Yotsugi’s body into pieces. Iroha and Felicia are horrified. As the Witch prepares to strike again, Yotsugi’s voice tells them to keep pretending to be sad. She instructs them to retreat and gather the pieces of her body. They do so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside the labyrinth, Yotsugi puts herself back together as if nothing happened. She reveals that when she took the hit, she regained her true memories. Back at Mikazuki Villa, she explains to everyone: she is a hundred‑year‑old tsukumogami made from a human body, both a doll oddity and a corpse oddity. She has no heart and has always been dead. This is why the Witch’s power of suggestion, which works by influencing emotions, does not affect her as much. She also notes that the Witch let them escape because it was angry at Yotsugi for helping everyone remember the first loop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yotsugi attacks Shinobu. Shinobu blocks the strike. When asked why, Yotsugi coldly says, “Would you mind dying for me real quick?”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt; Yotsugi’s sudden attack on Shinobu was not betrayal but a calculated shock: she remembered that when the Witch cut her into pieces, the trauma restored her own original memories. She reasons that a sufficiently strong physical blow can break through the memory manipulation. Shinobu’s severed leg instantly regenerates as her vampiric powers return, proving the method works. Without warning, Yotsugi then punches Mayoi, knocking her unconscious. When Mayoi wakes, her memories also return, which is triggered by the keyword “lost.” Mayoi explains that their false magical girl powers and wishes were implanted by the Witch, and that they are not inhabitants of this world. She then proposes a new theory: the Kamihama girls did not lose their memories; rather, they come from different points in their own timeline and simply haven’t experienced the shared past yet. Felicia is devastated, fearing she will never have a family again, but Iroha and the others reassure her that in every timeline they will end up together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part II: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, after everyone has gone to sleep, Shinobu summons Yotsugi and Mayoi outside. She admits she does not fully trust Iroha’s group, as they could be the Witch’s minions or mere plot devices. She reveals there may be another way to return to their original world, but she does not elaborate immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group splits up to hunt the elusive Witch. They repeatedly enter labyrinths of other Witches, wasting time. Felicia grows increasingly frustrated, nearly charging into unrelated fights. Yachiyo observes that the Witch seems to want them to fight, so any peaceful, fun activity risks a reset, which is why the first reset happened after their happy dinner and games. She concludes that the Witch is like a director forcing them to act out a “magical girls fighting” plot. Iroha suggests they deliberately provoke the Witch by acting against that plot, hoping to lure it out. However, Yotsugi warns that straying too far might trigger another reset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo formally presents her three‑point theory: (1) The Witch did not pursue them when they fled, (2) it never removed their magical girl powers, and (3) the resets happen when they relax instead of fight. Everyone agrees the plan is to provoke the Witch into appearing. Shinobu then insists on going sightseeing the next day, arguing that one more reset will weaken the Witch’s power further. Despite concerns about resetting again, Tsuruno enthusiastically supports the idea, and the group reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group spends the morning and afternoon touring Kamihama: the radio tower, the school (which they sneak into), an arcade where Yotsugi plays rhythm games with a completely blank expression, and the shopping mall where Shinobu demands to find a donut shop. Tsuruno saves the family restaurant, Banbanzai, for last. As they approach, Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi sense the Witch charging straight at them. The familiar dizziness overcomes everyone, and the world resets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Several hours after the reset, Yotsugi again restores everyone’s memories, as her immunity to the Witch’s suggestion means she still remembers everything. The group notes that more people felt déjà vu this time, suggesting the Witch is weakening. That night, Shinobu privately tells Yotsugi and Mayoi her true alternative plan: she will kill the Kamihama magical girls and consume their power, believing that enough strength will allow her to tear open a gate back to their world. Yotsugi and Mayoi agree to help, though Mayoi is conflicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the town feels eerily deserted. The Witch’s labyrinth is sparse, with only familiars. Following Shinobu’s earlier secret instruction, the group begins shouting insults at the Witch to provoke it. Suddenly, Shinobu strikes Felicia from behind, seemingly killing her. Yachiyo and Tsuruno are horrified. Shinobu, Yotsugi, and Mayoi reveal their betrayal: they intend to slaughter everyone to gain power for a gate home. A brutal fight erupts. Mayoi uses her ability to redirect Yachiyo’s spear attack, causing it to hit Iroha and Sana, who also fall. Tsuruno is overwhelmed, and Yachiyo is mortally wounded. Shinobu stands alone, gloating, but then the “dead” girls suddenly rise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** It was all an act. The group had secretly planned this staged betrayal during the previous night, communicating via handwritten notes to avoid the Witch overhearing. Sana, who makes picture books, wrote the script. The plan had multiple layers: first, they deliberately triggered a second reset by going sightseeing to weaken the Witch; second, they staged a believable in‑fighting scenario to lure the Witch out, because if all the “actors” disappear, the Witch’s story cannot continue. The Witch falls for the trap and appears, enraged by the deception. A full‑scale battle begins. The group coordinates: Iroha and Sana herd familiars for Yotsugi’s “Unlimited Rulebook”; Yachiyo, Shinobu, and Iroha immobilize the Witch; Tsuruno guides Mayoi’s errant drill attack with her flames, piercing the Witch’s front camera. When that does not destroy the labyrinth, Yachiyo and Shinobu realize the front camera was a decoy: the true weak spot is the film at the back. Felicia, launched by Yotsugi like a bullet, smashes the drill deeper, and Yachiyo and Shinobu destroy the film. The labyrinth dissolves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the world fades to mist, Felicia breaks down crying. She does not want this world to end because at Mikazuki Villa she finally felt like she had a family again, and she fears returning to her own timeline where she will be alone. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Sana hug her, promising that no matter the world or timeline, they will surely live together again. Shinobu, Mayoi, and Yotsugi share an awkward, brief hug, concluding they are not the hugging type. Everyone exchanges farewells. Yotsugi tells Felicia, “I’m glad I met you, Felly.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa, yawning. Felicia teases her for sleeping late. Iroha recalls a long, strange dream, both fun and bittersweet, but the details fade upon waking. She only remembers that it was something really special. The day begins again, as if the adventure had never happened, except for the faint warmth left behind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede dreams of a garden where Momoko and Rena help her harvest fantastical vegetables. When she asks about the cream puff tree, Momoko shows her a basket full. The peace breaks when an apartment complex finishes construction behind them, destroying the garden. Kaede remembers this moment: her father announced a new building would block their sunlight, her mother worried they would lose their garden, and in despair, Kaede wished to stop the construction entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The dream shatters and a shadowy version of Kaede appears, accusing her of always running from difficulty. It reminds her she made her wish without considering the people who would have lived in that building, that she ran from Rena rather than face rejection, that she holds back in marathons and skips hard problems. The shadow urges her to keep running until she finds where she belongs and offers its hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kaede admits everything is true: she is weak and useless. But she insists she wants to stay with Momoko and Rena, the friends who matter to her. She asks her shadow to help her become better little by little. The shadow agrees, promising to watch from the garden of her heart. Kaede wakes at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains Kaede blacked out during a Witch battle. Kaede remembers hesitating to transform, a Familiar catching her off guard, and Rena crying out. When another Familiar attacked Rena, Kaede recalled a time Momoko was hurt because of her mistake. Believing herself useless, her Soul Gem turned pitch black. Now awake and purified, she chooses not to run. She asks to join Momoko and Rena, who went ahead to hunt the Witch. Mitama sends her off, confident she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Holiday Nyaprise!====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede asks Mikazuki Villa to watch a lost kitten while her family is away. After Felicia threatens to withhold bedtime hot cocoa, Yachiyo relents and Sana names the cat Gorojirou, or Sir Purrs-a-little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Holiday Nyaprise!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno visits daily to play, and when Gorojirou needs the restroom, Sana rushes it to the litter box just as Yachiyo calls them for lunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia chases the cat until Sana gives her a toy to lure it instead, and they eventually nap together on the couch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou has grown close to everyone, and Iroha tries taking its picture but accidentally films herself instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha shops, Sana watches the cat and Yachiyo admits she avoided getting attached because Gorojirou is temporary, but resolves to make its stay pleasant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou chews Felicia&#039;s favorite sticker, and though Felicia is angry, Sana reminds her the cat leaves tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede returns for Gorojirou, and everyone says a tearful goodbye. As they leave, the cat meows at Sana, who cries happily saying goodbye to her new best friend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Clash!====&lt;br /&gt;
* A Mirror copy of Shizuku opens a portal and steps through into a city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Magia Clash!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama organizes a magical girl team competition inside the Mirrors labyrinth. Kaede and Iroha greet Nanoha, hoping to talk with her, but Kaede is called away when her match begins. Iroha stays behind and watches with Nanoha instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanoha Takamachi#Side Story|Nanoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hayate, Nanoha, and Fate mistake a Mirror copy&#039;s portal for the warp gate to their tournament and are pulled through before Lindy can stop them. Mitama registers the confused but excited trio for the &amp;quot;First Ultimate Magical Girls Team Battle Mirrors Cup,&amp;quot; and they head to the Standby Zone after learning about the Mirror barrier. Meanwhile, Rena, Momoko, and Kaede struggle against unusually strong Familiars, and when Rena twists her ankle, the Nanoha trio steps in to save them. The groups introduce themselves, with the trio explaining they are from Uminary City while concealing their connection to the Administrative Bureau, and Rena warns them about dangerous Mirror copies that lurk deeper in the barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they observe Team Momoko&#039;s match, Nanoha comments on the fighting styles she sees and notes the variety of magic on display. She explains she was taught magic from an early age and is surprised to learn Iroha and the others gained their powers by making wishes to Kyubey. Iroha describes Kyubey as a white stuffed animal, which reminds Nanoha of her own first teacher, Yuuno. Nanoha shares that she discovered magic in third grade when she heard Yuuno calling for help, and since then she has honed her abilities alongside Fate and Hayate to protect others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks about Nanoha&#039;s device, Raising Heart, and how it can transform. Nanoha explains the device taught her magic step by step and once posed an important question to her: what is the most important thing in a fight? Iroha guesses it is the will to win, but before Nanoha can reveal the true answer, Fate and Hayate return from exploring. Fate requests a sparring match, and Iroha asks to watch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo joins Iroha to observe the fight between Nanoha and Fate. The two exchange blows at maximum speed, with Fate using close-range attacks while Nanoha fights from a distance. The match ends in a tie after a final, explosive clash. Before leaving for a break, Nanoha turns to Iroha and reveals the true answer to Raising Heart&#039;s question: wisdom and tactics. Iroha agrees, especially after witnessing their battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Natsuki is fretting over a lost wallet at the Promise Altar, and Ria offers to help her search since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway. Natsuki apologizes for the trouble, but Ria insists she doesn&#039;t mind and even offers to lend her money. Natsuki refuses the loan but admits she needs money for train fare home. She reluctantly agrees to borrow just enough for the trip and promises to pay Ria back later. Ria asks if Natsuki is sure she doesn&#039;t want to file a report, but Natsuki believes the wallet is simply lost rather than stolen and wants to keep searching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hayate Yagami#Side Story|Hayate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria suggests they retrace Natsuki&#039;s steps and asks where she&#039;s been. Natsuki lists the Promise Altar, the station, the shopping district, and an izakaya where she ate with friends. Ria questions why she went to an izakaya alone, and Natsuki clarifies she was with coworkers. Ria finds it odd that Natsuki was drinking with coworkers and then came to the shrine alone afterwards. Natsuki admits it&#039;s a long story involving a former coworker&#039;s engagement announcement that left her feeling restless. She came to the shrine to think but realized she didn&#039;t have enough money to get home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they search, they run into Masara and Kokoro. Masara bluntly tells Natsuki she probably won&#039;t find it and suggests getting a new student ID. Kokoro gently scolds her for being insensitive and offers to help search. Ria mentions they&#039;ve already looked around the shrine, so Kokoro suggests they expand the search area.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group heads to the shopping district, where they encounter Kanoko. She offers to help search as well, and they all continue looking together. Eventually, Ria asks Natsuki to retrace her exact steps from when she left the izakaya. Natsuki recalls walking to the station, realizing she didn&#039;t want to go home yet, and coming to the shrine. Ria points out that she would have needed her wallet to pay the izakaya bill, so she definitely had it after leaving. Natsuki confirms this and remembers using her train pass at the station before changing her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria concludes the wallet must be somewhere between the station turnstiles and the shrine, but they&#039;ve already searched that route thoroughly. Kanoko suggests Natsuki might have dropped it somewhere else without realizing, like when she pulled out her phone. Natsuki&#039;s eyes light up, and she admits she did take out her phone at the station to check something. She just can&#039;t remember what she did with her wallet after that. Ria proposes they split up to cover more ground, and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Natsuki returns home defeated and exhausted. Her father calls out to her, and when she enters the living room, she finds her wallet sitting on the table. Her mother found it in the shopping district and a kind stranger turned it in. Natsuki&#039;s relief quickly turns to panic when she remembers she borrowed money from Ria, and now she has no way to contact her. She considers calling Kokoro but realizes she doesn&#039;t have her number either. She decides to go back to the Promise Altar the next day to hopefully find Ria there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Natsuki returns to the Promise Altar and is relieved to spot Ria. She excitedly explains that her wallet was found and immediately tries to repay the loan. Ria accepts the money but notices Natsuki seems troubled about something else. Natsuki admits she&#039;s been thinking about her former coworker&#039;s engagement and how she handled the situation. Ria offers to listen if Natsuki wants to talk, but Natsuki says she&#039;d rather not burden her further. Ria insists it&#039;s no trouble since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki explains that her former coworker Yukari got engaged and announced it at a gathering. Natsuki congratulated her happily, but another coworker named Ootori made some passive-aggressive comments about how Yukari managed to find someone before her. Later, Ootori apologized to Natsuki for her behavior, but Natsuki feels she should have defended Yukari in the moment. She feels guilty for not speaking up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria asks why she feels responsible for defending Yukari. Natsuki admits it&#039;s because Yukari was always kind to her when she first started the job, and she feels she failed to repay that kindness. Ria points out that Natsuki did congratulate Yukari sincerely, and that was probably what mattered most to her in that moment. Natsuki realizes Ria is right and thanks her for the perspective.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just then, Kanagi arrives, and Ria prepares to leave. Before going, she offers Natsuki her contact information so she can reach out if she ever needs to talk again. Natsuki gratefully accepts, and the two part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During a break in the Mirrors tournament, Fate, Nanoha, and Hayate encounter a copy of Fate that proves too powerful for them to handle alone. Felicia, Kako, and Ayame appear to help, and together they defeat the copy. When Felicia asks what they&#039;re doing there, Fate admits they got lost. The Kamihama girls learn the trio is from out of town and younger than them, but they quickly become friends and head back to the standby zone together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Fate T. Harlaown#Side Story|Fate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group somehow gets roped into a dodgeball game, with teams forming spontaneously among the tournament participants. Fate proves to be exceptionally athletic, leading her team through multiple rounds against increasingly competitive opponents. After defeating Momoko&#039;s team, they face a martial arts team featuring Akira, Meiyui, and Asuka, which Fate also wins. Tsuruno, refusing to let age be a barrier, recruits Masara and Natsuki for a final match against Fate&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match comes down to a intense showdown between Fate and Tsuruno, both catching and returning each other&#039;s throws with increasing speed and power. Fate ultimately outmaneuvers Tsuruno by throwing to Nanoha and leaping into the air for the winning strike. Everyone celebrates the friendly tournament and the new friendships formed across different cities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the tournament progresses, Team Nanoha easily advances through early rounds with Fate&#039;s incredible speed, though Momoko notices Hayate and Nanoha have yet to reveal their full power. Elsewhere, Mitama learns that Momoko announced her team would break up if they lost not because Kaede is useless but to show their conviction, though both Kaede and Rena had doubts. The tournament continues until four teams remain, with Team Momoko advancing to the finals through clever strategy and Team Nanoha defeating Team Masara to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match begins with Fate and Rena clashing in a battle of speed that seemingly knocks both out, leaving Nanoha and Hayate to face Momoko and Kaede. Hayate fuses with Reinforce Zwei and unleashes Ragnarok to take out Kaede, then joins Nanoha against Momoko, who withstands Nanoha&#039;s Starlight Breaker as both girls stand exhausted. Before a winner can be decided, Lindy contacts Nanoha with an emergency: a fugitive illegally opened a rift between worlds, and the Mirror copy of Shizuku appears nearby, having used her powers to connect the Mirror labyrinth to Uminary City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The copy stole the tournament&#039;s grand prize, a special orb that exponentially increases magical power, and the girls call off the match to track her down. Team Nanoha and Team Momoko catch the copy, but after they defeat her, copies of Hayate, Fate, and Nanoha appear and swallow the broken orb pieces, gaining immense power. All the Magical Girls unite to take down the powered-up copies, and through combined efforts they finally delete the magical signatures. With the tunnel between worlds about to collapse, Mitama declares both teams winners, and the girls exchange heartfelt goodbyes before the Nanoha trio returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day in Kamihama, Kaede realizes her texts to Hayate no longer go through, Momoko cannot reach Nanoha or Fate, and Rena cannot find Uminary City on any map. Mitama and Shizuku conclude the girls must have come from a different world entirely, since they needed a space tunnel to travel rather than a simple train ride. Though Kaede is sad they may never meet again, Rena is grateful for the friendship they formed, and the three resolve to work hard for a future rematch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Asuka finds herself in a cloud-filled void facing a shadowy version of herself who claims to be the hidden part of Asuka&#039;s heart. The shadow declares Asuka is no longer fit to practice Ryushin-ryu because her blade has been sullied by contracting as a Magical Girl. When Asuka protests, the shadow recounts how Asuka wished for her cousin to become a police officer after his dreams were jeopardized by their uncle&#039;s arrest, arguing that twisting fate with magic was selfish and wrong. The shadow insists that with her heart no longer true, Asuka walks a false path and should abandon her school, urging her to die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her despair, Asuka remembers her father&#039;s words about asking her own heart what is right, like water filling a square bowl. She tells the shadow that perceptions of right and wrong can change with the situation, and though she cannot refute the shadow&#039;s claims, she knows her heart believed her actions were just. Believing words alone cannot reach the shadow, Asuka challenges her to a fight to prove her blade&#039;s strength reflects her sincere heart. The shadow warns that slaying her means slaying herself, but Asuka declares she fears being untrue to herself more than death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their swords clash, and after a long battle, the shadow succumbs to Asuka&#039;s attack and acknowledges her blade was as pure as her heart. The shadow warns she may return in a different form if Asuka&#039;s heart becomes stained again, then vanishes. Asuka awakens near a pond deep in the forest, where she had gone to meditate as part of her training. She remembers the shadow&#039;s promise and considers asking Mitama what it all meant, but feels her father&#039;s words have been engraved in her more deeply now. With her resolve unwavering, she runs back to the dojo, taking a straight path out of the woods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka awakens to find herself in a strange, cloud-filled void. A shadowy copy of herself appears, introducing itself as the part of her she has suppressed deep within her heart. The shadow urges Nanaka to end her pursuit of vengeance, calling it a fruitless endeavor that changes nothing. Nanaka refuses, explaining that the act of revenge itself holds meaning for her, not the result. The shadow questions where vengeance has led her: a life of constant danger in an endless struggle against Witches. Nanaka admits there is nothing to gain from her actions, but her conviction remains unshakable. The shadow then accuses Nanaka of dragging Akira, Kako, and Meiyui into her vengeance, using them to fulfill her goals. Nanaka acknowledges this truth but insists she would never throw their lives away. She believes fate brought them together to fight a common enemy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka recalls the moments before she lost consciousness. Her team had cornered a Witch, but it disappeared and reappeared near a weakened Kako. Nanaka leaped in to shield her, and Akira and Meiyui joined the fight. The shadow suggests Nanaka protected Kako to redeem herself, but Nanaka denies this. The shadow warns it will continue watching from the depths of her heart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka awakens to find her teammates standing over her, relieved she is alive. The Witch is defeated. Nanaka tells Kako not to worry about anything, as they are teammates. Meiyui finds her choice of words unusual, but Akira insists Nanaka see Mitama for a checkup. Kako thanks Nanaka for protecting her. Nanaka smiles, thinking to herself that each of them is their own flower, supporting one another through their shared fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis====&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha announces that a cafe Yachiyo frequents has opened a new location near Mikazuki Villa, and the group decides to visit on opening day. They arrive to find it is actually a Curry House CoCo Ichibanya, and Yachiyo passionately explains the menu options as they wait for the store to open.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the store opens early, the employee announces they cannot open today due to a missing delivery truck carrying ingredients. The employee breaks down in tears, explaining her family came to see her first store opening. The group notices magical energy emanating from the store and decides to help find the truck, promising to return for curry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They investigate at the last store the truck visited. The employee there confirms the truck is missing but provides spare ingredients and explains that stores support each other in times of trouble. The group splits into two teams: one to gather ingredients from other stores, and one to trace the truck&#039;s route. During coordination, they learn a second CoCoIchi truck has also gone missing on the same road.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While gathering ingredients, Tsuruno&#039;s group encounters a lost, hungry girl who flees upon hearing CoCoIchi and nearly crashes into Sana. Afterward, Sana realizes the employee at the new store could see her despite her invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s group follows the road where both trucks disappeared and finds a Witch&#039;s barrier. Inside, they find both trucks and their drivers. Iroha and Ui engage the Witch&#039;s familiars while Yachiyo secures the drivers. Iroha realizes the Witch is targeting the cargo, so she throws curry ingredients at it, causing the Witch to abandon the fight and allowing them to defeat it easily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno calls with urgent news that the store employee is a Magical Girl, her missing little sister is also a Magical Girl, and she has not been able to contact her since yesterday. The group fears the curry-loving Witch they just defeated was the sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the new store, where the employee is preparing their reward curry. Before Iroha can confess, a girl rushes in calling for her sister. It is the employee&#039;s little sister, alive and well. The group realizes the Witch was simply a curry-loving Witch unrelated to the sister. They finally sit down to enjoy the promised curry together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui====&lt;br /&gt;
* Meiyui&#039;s family is helping organize a local event when a stranger stabs one of their members and flees, dropping a badge. Meiyui chooses to tend to the victim rather than give chase, despite his protests that she is being too soft.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many in the organization want revenge, but Meiyui refuses, not wanting to return to their old ways as an evil organization. The members are reluctant to involve the police due to being falsely accused of murder three years prior. Meiyui had contracted with Kyubey back then to expose the truth with her wish, but lingering distrust remains.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui goes alone to track the culprit. The dropped badge leads her to an abandoned company tied to illegal labor her family had helped shut down. After defeating a stray Witch, she is ambushed and kidnapped by a man with a taser.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She wakes handcuffed alongside about ten others. The kidnappers reveal the badge was a trap to lure her. They include a former police officer who had fabricated evidence against her family and associates of the real murderer from that case, all blaming the Blue Seas for ruining their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her Soul Gem is heavily tainted from the Witch fight, and she begins hearing her Doppel&#039;s voice. In a cloudy void, her shadow self insists she should have killed these enemies when she had the chance, arguing her organization cannot survive without dirtying their hands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Meiyui struggles to stay conscious, she uses her last energy to beg the culprits to leave her family alone, insisting they are not a bad group. The stabber dismisses her pleas and suggests killing her as a warning instead. Her Doppel mocks her, saying evil people will always exist no matter how sincerely she tries to live righteously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, her organization members arrive to rescue her. The stabbed victim is among them, now grateful Meiyui had stayed to help him instead of chasing revenge. He admits he used to believe abandoning burdens was the way of the world, but facing death alone showed him he was wrong. He is alive because of Meiyui&#039;s strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hearing this, Meiyui&#039;s mind clears. In the void, her Doppel asks if she is ready to kill them, but Meiyui rejects violence entirely. The Doppel submits, allowing her to put everyone in the area to sleep without bloodshed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The police soon arrive after the kidnapper, persuaded by Meiyui, confesses over the phone. They find several family members asleep everywhere and note a look of complete relief on Meiyui&#039;s sleeping face.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Little Bird&#039;s Star====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe and other Black Feathers are in Fendt Hope, commiserating about their weakness. A White Feather had to bail them out after they were followed by a Witch while delivering a parcel from Mitama&#039;s shop. They discuss Yachiyo Nanami, a veteran Magical Girl who destroys Uwasas.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu and Nemu emerge from a room arguing. Nemu dismisses Mifuyu and approaches the Black Feathers with a request. She asks them to investigate the &amp;quot;Uwasa of the Jealous Coward,&amp;quot; also called the &amp;quot;Green-Eyed Coward.&amp;quot; Kuroe hesitates but agrees when Nemu insists she has the aptitude.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group investigates an area with many students but cannot find the Uwasa. The other Black Feathers leave for personal commitments. Kuroe stays, feeling she has nothing to return to. The Uwasa manifests when Kuroe expresses envy toward the other girls&#039; normal lives. Two Black Feathers are knocked unconscious. Nemu is satisfied with the results and tasks Kuroe with investigating more Uwasas starting tomorrow. Kuroe protests but Nemu leaves before she can refuse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1744.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1743.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The Amane twins, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo, meet Kuroe at Fendt Hope and they begin investigating Uwasas in Sakae Ward but find nothing. They move to Hokuyo Ward. Kuroe notices a missing cat poster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They sense Yachiyo&#039;s group nearby and flee. Yachiyo and Iroha corner Kuroe. The twins escape. Yachiyo interrogates Kuroe. An Uwasa resembling Kuroe appears and attacks, then disappears. Yachiyo accuses Kuroe of controlling it. Kuroe insists she had no knowledge of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo decides to take Kuroe camping to monitor her. At the campground, the Amane twins briefly contact Kuroe and say they will consult Nemu, so Kuroe resolves to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe helps Iroha gather firewood. Iroha is scared by a caterpillar and Kuroe removes it. Kuroe introduces herself by name. She helps the group set up their tent and prepare lunch, using skills learned from Wings of Magius training. She reminds herself not to get drawn into their warm atmosphere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mentions a waterfall power spot. Kuroe offers to get water. Iroha accompanies her. They get lost. A woman helps Kuroe find the waterfall and gives her an empty bottle. The woman explains the place is her personal power spot for resetting her mind. Kuroe wishes she had strength to face the future. The Uwasa appears and attacks the woman. Iroha arrives and finds the woman unconscious. Kuroe begs Iroha for help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe carries the unconscious woman back to the campsite. The Amane twins inform her that Nemu says she is possessed by the Uwasa and should stay with Yachiyo&#039;s group. Yachiyo warns that if more casualties occur, she will destroy the Uwasa. Iroha suggests keeping Kuroe for observation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group participates in a stamp rally and Iroha and Kuroe pair up. They discover they are both from Takarazaki. Iroha explains she moved to Kamihama to find her missing sister. Suddenly, a Witch appears and Kuroe and Iroha fight it together. Kuroe acts as a decoy while Iroha defeats the Witch. Kuroe feels inadequate compared to Iroha&#039;s courage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe asks for time alone and she reflects on her fears and envy. The Uwasa appears again, resembling Kuroe. The group fights it and Iroha urges Kuroe to destroy the Uwasa. Kuroe admits she is afraid she cannot be herself, so she and Iroha destroy the Uwasa together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amane twins inform Kuroe they must report the Uwasa&#039;s destruction, yet Kuroe does not regret it. Iroha asks to talk with Kuroe and Yachiyo offers them tea. Kuroe admits she feels safe with the Wings of Magius because they represent hope for her. Iroha accepts this and Kuroe tells Iroha she wants to be like her someday. They part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe finds the missing cat and returns it to its owner, who is overjoyed. Kuroe realizes she saved someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe reports to Nemu and Mifuyu. Nemu reveals the Uwasa summons itself based on dissatisfaction and envy. Nemu admits she expected Yachiyo&#039;s group to handle an accident with the Uwasa. However, Nemu is satisfied that she now has more research on fusing Uwasa with Magical Girls, however Mifuyu warns Nemu not to experiment on the Feathers. Kuroe realizes that even the Magius are imperfect and she reflects on her long day. She resolves to do her best, one step at a time, and hopes to see Iroha again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 7th==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia and Sana decide to buy matching coasters as a gift for Yachiyo, to show their appreciation, and after some searching, they find a suitable set.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: Memories That Reveal the Truth]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 8th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the plan to present the gift is interrupted when Mifuyu Azusa arrives at the villa before Yachiyo returns home. The girls&#039; plan was for Iroha to wait inside while the others came from outside to surprise Yachiyo. Mifuyu prepares tea and reveals one of the two mugs on the top shelf, which Yachiyo forbade Iroha from using, belongs to her. Mifuyu invites Iroha to a lecture hosted by the Wings of the Magius to explain their goal of &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls. The lecture is scheduled for two days later at the Memory Museum and Iroha agrees to investigate the Rumor about the museum first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo returns home and is visibly distressed to find Mifuyu there. Mifuyu leaves, asking Iroha to inform the others about the lecture. Before finally leaving, Mifuyu returns to speak to Yachiyo privately. She references a &amp;quot;promise&amp;quot; they made a year ago, and accuses Yachiyo of returning to her old ways. Yachiyo insists her relationship with Iroha and the others is &amp;quot;just cooperating.&amp;quot; Yachiyo retreats to her room without receiving the coasters. That night, Yachiyo reflects on her past, resolving to return to the person she once was.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 9th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the lecture, Iroha is unable to give Yachiyo the coasters due to Yachiyo&#039;s low spirits. Iroha discusses her plan to attend the Wings of the Magius lecture with Madoka Kaname via text. Iroha then attempts to investigate the Rumor of the Memory Museum. Yachiyo claims no knowledge of it and leaves for school. Iroha and Momoko ask Mitama, who refuses to share information to maintain her neutrality. After the visit, Mitama has a separate conversation with Momoko about Momoko&#039;s own secret, advising her to tell her friends the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede and Rena help Iroha by summoning the creature that recites the Rumor of the Memory Museum, which allows people to view researched memories. Tsuruno&#039;s father provides the location of the similar-sounding &amp;quot;Kamihama Memorial Museum.&amp;quot; That evening, Yachiyo refuses to join the investigation, reiterating that her relationship with the others is strictly professional, which saddens Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Saturday, the 10th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the lecture, Yachiyo again refuses to go to the museum and Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana go to the Kamihama Memorial Museum without her. There, they are greeted by Touka Satomi, who reveals herself as one of the three Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently at Mikazuki, Yachiyo, haunted by memories of past friends, decides she must investigate the Memory Museum herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Touka throne 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka Satomi gives them a lecture titled &amp;quot;The Truth Behind Magical Girls.&amp;quot; She presents three key items through illustrative stories:&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 1: Soul Gems. A story reveals that a Soul Gem is a Magical Girl&#039;s actual soul. Using magic consumes this life force, and if the gem shatters, the Magical Girl dies. Touka uses an analogy of an internal vs. external battery to explain Soul Gems and Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 2: Witches. A second story demonstrates that when a Magical Girl&#039;s Soul Gem becomes fully corrupted, she transforms into a Witch. This revelation traumatizes Felicia, who realizes the Witches she has been killing were once Magical Girls and that she herself is destined to become one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 3: Doppels. A third story explains that in Kamihama City, a fully corrupted Soul Gem can manifest a &amp;quot;Doppel&amp;quot; instead of a Witch. The Wings of the Magius present this as the key to &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls from their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* To prove their claims, Touka and Mifuyu Azusa activate the Memory Museum&#039;s Rumor. Mifuyu presents a book containing her own memories, inviting the group to witness the truth of the lecture firsthand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo arrives at the museum and confronts Touka. She is shown into the memory dimension where Iroha and the others are and Mifuyu activates the Rumor, forcing the group to relive her memories. The memories depict Yachiyo&#039;s former team, Mikazuki Villa:&lt;br /&gt;
** The first memory shows Kanae Yukino sacrificing herself to reveal a Witch&#039;s weakness. Her uninjured body is found next to her shattered Soul Gem, proving the Soul Gem is the Magical Girl&#039;s life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second memory shows Mel Anna using too much magic to protect Yachiyo. With no Grief Seed to purify her fully corrupted Soul Gem, Mel transforms into a Witch before the team&#039;s eyes, confirming Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The third memory shows Mifuyu&#039;s despair six months after Mel&#039;s death, causing her Soul Gem to corrupt fully. Instead of becoming a Witch, she manifests a Doppel. Touka then appears and recruits her into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno is consumed by guilt over Mel&#039;s death, believing her absence that day was the cause. Felicia is horrified, realizing the Witches she killed were Magical Girls and Sana is terrified but feels powerless to change the system. Touka and Mifuyu use this emotional vulnerability to press their recruitment offers to each girl, promising a world where these tragedies are impossible and even suggesting Sana could be freed from her wish of invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo reject the offer to join and Yachiyo compares the Magius&#039; methods to Kyubey&#039;s, accusing them of exploiting weaknesses. Yachiyo then announces she is disbanding their team, which Iroha protests, but Yachiyo insists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka reveals that Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana have been brainwashed and now serve the Wings of the Magius. Alina Gray arrives and traps Iroha and Yachiyo within her Labyrinth and leaves them to face a Witch. As they fight the Witch, Yachiyo reiterates her decision to disband the team and work alone. She reveals her wish was &amp;quot;I want to survive,&amp;quot; and explains that she interprets this as a curse: the power to survive by sacrificing her teammates, based on the last words of her former comrades, Kanae and Mel, who both died while she lived. Yachiyo believes that to protect Iroha, she must sever their partnership.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha rejects Yachiyo&#039;s conclusion. She declares she will defeat the Uwasa alone to prove Yachiyo&#039;s &amp;quot;curse&amp;quot; is not real and that she can protect Yachiyo. Iroha states she is angry that Yachiyo made this decision for everyone and vows to rescue their brainwashed friends. She defeats the Witch and rejects Yachiyo&#039;s belief in a cursed wish and declares herself the new leader to nullify its perceived effect. Yachiyo relents and agrees to work with Iroha to save their friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the same time, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, having detected Mami&#039;s magic while investigating Kamihama, investigate the closed Kamihama Recording Museum. They are attacked by the Wings of the Magius. While Madoka and Homura hold them off, Sayaka proceeds and witnesses Mami, transformed into &amp;quot;Holy Mami,&amp;quot; attacking Iroha and Yachiyo. It is here that Sayaka learns the horrific truth that Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: A Stand-Off With Fate]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, now a brainwashed member of the Wings of the Magius, confronts them. As Iroha and Yachiyo are too injured to fight, Sayaka Miki arrives and intervenes. Sayaka uses a bomb from Homura to create a diversion, allowing the three to escape.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After their escape, Sayaka gives Iroha a Grief Seed. Iroha explains the truth about Witches and the Wings of the Magius to Sayaka, who is horrified. Sayaka leaves to process this information and Iroha and Yachiyo walk home in silence to reflect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After fleeing the museum, Sayaka reunites with Madoka and Homura, defeats their pursuers in a distraught state, and explains what happened to Mami to them, as well as the truth about becoming Witches.The group returns to Mitakihara in silence but Madoka resolves to find a way to avoid their fate and to save Mami. Sayaka agrees to fight back as well and later decides to meet with Kyoko Sakura.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, at Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo reaffirm their commitment to save their friends and Momoko arrives, having told the secret of Magical Girls to Rena and Kaede. Yachiyo also apologizes for her actions and explains her fears about her wish. Momoko forgives her and reaffirms their friendship. Iroha then receives a text from Madoka, who promises to come to Kamihama to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Sayaka meets Kyoko and reveals the truth about Witches. Kyoko deduces this is what the Wings of the Magius meant by &amp;quot;saving&amp;quot; Magical Girls. Kyoko declares she will find a way to avoid becoming a Witch and confront the Wings of the Magius alone, rejecting Sayaka&#039;s offer of help. Despite Sayaka&#039;s protests, Kyoko leaves to operate solo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Likely during this time, Yachiyo pulls out a box containing what her former friends Kanae Yukino and Mel Anna left behind. She has never opened it since filling it and spends the entire day staring at it, unable to lift the lid. When Iroha arrives and asks about it, Yachiyo explains and admits she is trying to work through her feelings. Iroha offers to help, but Yachiyo deflects, reminding her they were supposed to visit Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls visit Mitama Yakumo and present Grief Seeds as payment for adjustment. Mitama is surprised by the offering and promises to do her best, but she expresses concern about Yachiyo&#039;s emotional state. She suggests Yachiyo clear up her issues with the box before moving forward and offers to adjust both girls at once as a special exception.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Mitama works on her, Yachiyo finds herself in a gray room confronted by a shadowy doppelganger. The shadow accuses her of being afraid of the future and clinging to the past. When Yachiyo refuses to give in to despair, the shadow transforms into her doppel, but she stands firm, accepting her fear while choosing to move forward. Iroha appears beside her, and together they bid farewell to visions of Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo awakens and realizes Mitama adjusted them together intentionally, trusting Iroha could help her if needed. She thanks Mitama for looking out for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at her house, Yachiyo finally opens the box with Iroha beside her. Inside, Kanae left a book of lyrics about becoming a circle with others, and Mel left fortune telling impressions predicting a future where many magical girls would gather in Kamihama. Yachiyo cries as she reads their words. Iroha suggests they head toward that gentle future together. Yachiyo agrees but says first they need to get back their own three points: Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha resolves to find her lost friends and mentally tells Ui to wait a bit longer. Iroha and Yachiyo finish cleaning their house. Iroha resolves to give the coasters she and the others bought for Yachiyo when everyone is reunited. Iroha says she sent a message to Madoka in Mitakihara City, but hasn&#039;t gotten a response.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 7: Awakening to Paradise]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Immediately after Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana are taken, Mifuyu reports to Touka and Alina that the brainwashing on the three is holding, so Touka selects Tsuruno for a mission, which Alina states will involve &amp;quot;mass murder.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in her room, Iroha thinks back to when she celebrated Christmas with her friends, but resolves to keep going with her mission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sunday, the 11th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo investigate the Kamihama Rumor Files at Mikazuki Villa. Iroha recognizes some of the Rumors. They meet with Momoko, who mentions Tsuruno&#039;s perfect school attendance record is now broken and that a new amusement park is also opening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo visit Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant and her father reveals Tsuruno and Felicia visited once. Tsuruno told him she found a place where she feels safe and would not return and he notes her expression was blank, similar to how she looked a year ago after Mel&#039;s death. Afterwards, a White Feather ambushes Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will be used for a mission like Tsuruno, and the two fight off the attacker.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Monday, the 12th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo devise a plan to destroy Rumors across Kamihama to lure out the Wings of the Magius and locate their base. They share this plan with Momoko, who offers to help by getting Grief Seeds for them while they hunt. Momoko then goes to check on Kaede, who is hiding in her room. She hugs Kaede and tells her she and Rena will always be there to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo systematically hunt Rumors like the &amp;quot;Historical Battle Marker,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Castle Town Illusion,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Headless Biker Gang,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Puzzle Tiles Lock,&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;Fashion Monster.&amp;quot; They also interrogate captured Feathers, but none reveal information about Tsuruno, Felicia, or Sana&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Momoko investigates a rapidly spreading rumor about a new amusement park. She notes it originated in the east and spread west through Sakae, Mizuna, and Shinsei Wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha and Yachiyo analyze the Kamihama Rumor Files, marking all known Rumor locations on a map. They identify a pattern: Rumors cluster more densely in Shinsei Ward, with a notable concentration around Satomi Medical Center, the hospital where Ui was supposedly treated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They travel to the hospital area and are ambushed by Feathers. Felicia and Sana, who had broken free of the brainwashing, arrive and help fight off the attackers. The four Magical Girls reunite and Felicia and Sana reveal they pretended to be brainwashed to gather information. Momoko confirms the amusement park rumor spread from east to west and will open at dawn in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Sana explain to Yachiyo and Iroha that Mifuyu used her illusion magic to break their brainwashing. Mifuyu revealed the Magius are protecting and strengthening Witches for their liberation plan and are planning to use the brainwashed Magical Girls to cross a dangerous line. Mifuyu attempted to free Tsuruno but failed, as Tsuruno&#039;s reason for being brainwashed was different. Mifuyu then helped Felicia and Sana escape but chose to remain behind, stating they would be enemies next time they meet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko arrives and shares her investigation into a new Rumor about an amusement park opening at dawn in two days. She confirms it spread from the east, and the group overlays the Rumor locations on a map and identifies a pattern suggesting a source or &amp;quot;eye of the storm&amp;quot; in the eastern wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kanagi screenshot.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo decides to contact Kanagi Izumi, the powerful Magical Girl who controls the eastern Daito and Kosho Wards and is a former rival of hers. Kanagi agrees to an alliance, and during their call, Tsukasa of the Wings of the Magius arrives at Kanagi&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tuesday, the 13th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The morning, Felicia and Sana try to accompany Iroha and Yachiyo but are told to rest due to their collapse the previous night. Iroha and Yachiyo leave them behind. Meanwhile in Kosho Ward, Iroha, Yachiyo, Momoko, and Kanagi meet and Kanagi agrees to ally with them against the Wings of the Magius. They combine their Rumor data on a map, which reveals a circular pattern with a vacant center in Kosho Ward and Kanagi identifies the old railway yard as the likely location of the Wings&#039; base.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After learning the truth about Witches, Madoka questions Kyubey about a way to avoid becoming a Witch. Kyubey states he knows of no method and reveals he cannot enter Kamihama City himself. He proposes an alliance to investigate the Wings of the Magius but Madoka refuses to promise cooperation. She resolves to return to Kamihama with her friends, but then a Witch from Kamihama appears in Mitakihara.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 7: Eve of the Awakening]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura defeat the Kamihama Witch. They share Grief Seeds and note the alarming appearance of foreign Witches in their city. The trio resolves to go to Kamihama the next day to find answers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Around this time, Kyoko successfully infiltrates the Wings of the Magius. She is assigned to a team tasked with dealing with a group that erases Rumors, which she suspects is Iroha&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s group travels to the railway yard but finds it empty. They are ambushed by Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who summon Witches and during the battle, Kanagi uses her unique power to read Iroha&#039;s true intentions and confirms her sincerity. Kanagi then joins the fight and helps defeat the Amane sisters and their Black Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi uses her power on the defeated Amane sisters to read their minds and she learns that Tsuruno is still completely brainwashed and has become part of an Uwasa to protect it. She also learns Tsuruno&#039;s location is at the Ferris Wheel Field in Daito Ward and the group prepares to move out immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Sana and Felicia wait anxiously and Yachiyo calls them with an update.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Rena visits Kaede at her house, and after an argument involving slapping and pinching, Kaede reconciles with Rena and agrees to return to school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team arrives in Daito Ward, where Yachiyo and Iroha plan to enter the &amp;quot;amusement park&amp;quot; Rumor to save Tsuruno, while Felicia, Sana, Momoko, and Kanagi hold off the Wings of the Magius. The group locates the Rumor&#039;s entrance and Kanagi and Momoko stay behind to fight the Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo proceed and confront Alina, Touka, and Mifuyu, where Alina declares her intent to erase them. During the battle, Mifuyu secretly tells Yachiyo that destroying the main Uwasa will kill Tsuruno, and that they must instead tear the Uwasa from her by connecting with her heart. Mifuyu also reveals Tsuruno is in a Ferris wheel car.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101705 uwasatsuruno.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo enter the Rumor, &amp;quot;Chelation Land,&amp;quot; which induces a hazy, thoughtless state. They find Tsuruno, who has fully merged with the Uwasa and acts as the park&#039;s host. Tsuruno tries to force them to relax and stay, serving them hotpot in mugs reminiscent of Mikazuki Villa, but they refuse and attempt to reason with Tsuruno, and she attacks them. Following Mifuyu&#039;s advice, they combine their magic to tear the Uwasa from Tsuruno in one powerful strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nemu02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After Tsuruno is freed from the Uwasa, Yachiyo realizes that Tsuruno&#039;s cheerful demeanor was a facade to hide her pain and guilt over past events, including the death of Mel. The team defeats the main Uwasa of Chelation Land and the Magius, Touka, Nemu Hiiragi, and Alina, confront the group. Nemu reveals she is the &amp;quot;Creator&amp;quot; of all the Rumors in Kamihama and the Magius explain their goal: to use the energy generated by Rumors and Witches to hatch &amp;quot;Embryo Eve,&amp;quot; a being that will liberate all Magical Girls worldwide from the fate of becoming Witches. They state the phenomenon requires the presence of all three Magius and a massive energy source, for which they have used the people of Kamihama and the teams part ways in opposition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 14th==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101701 coaster02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, at Mikazuki Villa, the team summarizes the Magius&#039; plan and that Kamihama is an incubator for Embryo Eve. They resolve to stop the Magius due to the plan&#039;s high human cost and the group gives Yachiyo the set of sakura blossom-themed coasters as a symbol of their team unity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka are separately attacked by multiple Kamihama Witches in Mitakihara before reuniting. They realize the Witch incursion is a coordinated attack meant to prevent them from leaving Mitakihara. Their magic and Grief Seed reserves are heavily depleted in the constant battles.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the ongoing Witch attacks, the trio is overwhelmed by a powerful Witch and is forced to retreat. Sayaka breaks down, admitting her terror of becoming a Witch and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka share their fears and resolve to face the threat together. They are observed by Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, who imply the attack is part of their plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Fendt Hope, Kyoko, having gained the trust of her unit, is taken on a tour of the Wings of the Magius headquarters by her White Feather superior.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, the three defeat the Feathers sent to observe them, and after interrogating them, they receive a message from Iroha about how to save Mami. Holy Mami arrives to Mitakihara and reveals she brought the Witches to Mitakihara to keep the three of them &amp;quot;safe,&amp;quot; and insists the Magius will save them. Alina Gray also appears and traps Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka in a Barrier, which Mami seals with her ribbons.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her infiltration, Kyoko is taken to Hotel Fenthope by Mifuyu Azusa. She confronts Holy Mami, accusing her of not being the real Mami Tomoe. Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi arrive and reinforce the Rumor brainwashing on Mami. Mifuyu secretly escorts Kyoko away and reveals the Magius&#039; plans: they are using a mysterious entity called &amp;quot;Eve&amp;quot; to liberate Magical Girls and are deliberately bringing Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama to hatch it. Horrified, Kyoko rejects the Magius and is led out of the city by Mifuyu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Once More From Here]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko arrives in Mitakihara and frees Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka from Alina&#039;s Barrier. She explains the Magius&#039; plan to bring Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama and Homura urges the group to stay in Mitakihara for safety. Kyoko departs alone, later resolving to return and crush the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Iroha has a sudden memory flashback to the hospital, triggered by the word &amp;quot;sakura.&amp;quot; She remembers a story she, Ui, Touka, and Nemu created about the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot; She deduces this Rumor is real and located at the hospital, and that all the Rumors were created there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Touka and Nemu observe that Embryo Eve has reached a critical state and they confirm that a legendary, cross-dimensional event they foresaw: the arrival of Walpurgisnacht, will provide the final, massive energy surge needed to hatch Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo calls a meeting with the Mikazuki Villa household, Tsuruno, and the Momoko trio to share her concern that rumors persist even after they defeat the Uwasa themselves. The group splits up to investigate whether the original Uwasa have truly vanished or transformed into something new.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Hereafter]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko, Kaede, and Rena investigate the Breakup Staircase and find only scattered internet gossip remains. During their search, lingering tensions surface over Rena&#039;s painful memories of when Kaede was kidnapped by that Uwasa, but the trio ultimately reconciles and continues working together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno visit Mizuna Shrine, where the Séance Shrine Uwasa has transformed into a popular spot for relationship prayers with new mascots. They encounter a grieving girl who comes daily to pray for her deceased friend, and Yachiyo is reminded of her own departed companions Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Felicia track down the man behind the revived Misery Water rumor, who confesses he was scammed into buying the water and cannot bring himself to deceive others. Felicia helps him find honest work, and the rumors die out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana investigates an online forum where troubled users make veiled threats, but the rumor fades without incident. Tsuruno and Iroha check Chelation Land, where Tsuruno reflects on her past brainwashing and muses about whether some Uwasa exist independently of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The groups reconvene and report that all investigated rumors have left minimal traces. Yachiyo concludes their investigation of the Uwasa is complete, and only the Wings of Magius themselves remain to be confronted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voices from Beyond, Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the afterlife, Mel Anna meets Kanae Yukino, another Magical Girl ghost who also died fighting a Witch. Mel is thrilled to discover they were both on a team with Yachiyo Nanami and calls Kanae her senpai. Kanae takes Mel to a ghost cafe where deceased Magical Girls gather, explaining they cannot interact with the living world except through psychics.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Voices From Beyond]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they wander Kamihama, Mel notices Witch numbers rising dramatically and worries about Yachiyo. They follow Yachiyo and are relieved to find she has new companions in Iroha Tamaki and others, though they remain concerned about their former teammate Mifuyu&#039;s absence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, they watch helplessly as Yachiyo battles the Wings of Magius and eventually enters the Memory Museum, where she relives the trauma of losing Mel and Kanae. When Yachiyo dissolves her team afterward, convinced her magic causes others to die for her, the ghosts desperately try to reach her. Kanae notices Yachiyo kept their mementos: Mel&#039;s fortune log and Kanae&#039;s notebook. They focus their thoughts on these items, and that night, Yachiyo discovers their messages—Kanae&#039;s lyrics about forming a circle and Mel&#039;s fortune predicting the current events. Grateful, she resolves to move forward. Their successful contact gets their ghost licenses suspended, and they watch Yachiyo&#039;s dream of their encounter before fading.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 15th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius initiate a city-wide offensive, unleashing powerful Witches and sending brainwashed Black and White Feathers to indiscriminately attack other Magical Girls. Mami delivers a declaration of war to Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will no longer delay their plan for &amp;quot;freedom.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Kamihama, Painted in Fiction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magical Girls of Kamihama form a coordinated response and Yachiyo&#039;s team devises a strategy: first, eliminate the unleashed Witches; second, protect other Magical Girls and direct them to Mitama&#039;s shop as a safe haven; third, deal with the rampaging Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, recalling the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; in Hokuyo Ward, theorizes it could be the location of the Magius&#039; hidden base. Yachiyo approves Iroha and Sana to investigate this lead separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next several hours, the teams execute the plan. Yachiyo rescues Ren from a Black Feather and escorts her to Mitama&#039;s shop. Kaede Afinds Konomi protecting an injured Kako; together they defeat a Witch and get Kako to safety. Rena aids Asuka and Sasara, later teaming with Ria and Manaka to defeat a Witch. Momoko and Aimi rescue Kokoro and Masara from Feathers. Tsuruno works with Hinano to eliminate a Witch and warns her about the Feathers. Felicia fights alongside Akira and Nanaka&#039;s group, eventually reuniting with Tsuruno. Kanagi protects Himika from Feathers and sends her to Mitama&#039;s. Yachiyo and Kanagi also rescue Riko and Ayaka from Feather attacks and track the enemy to a heliport. Yachiyo, Kanagi, Momoko&#039;s team, and Tsuruno&#039;s team successfully clear the city of the powerful Witches and they rescue and guide numerous Magical Girls to Mitama&#039;s shop. Momoko confronts Mitama, challenging her to abandon her neutral stance and Mitama agrees to allow her shop to be used as a headquarters and to share her knowledge about the Magius&#039; plans.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama reveals the truth that Magical Girls are destined to become Witches, and that the Magius aim to use the energy from Embryo Eve to spread the Doppel phenomenon worldwide, preventing this fate. However, their methods involve sacrificing the citizens of Kamihama and other Magical Girls to gather this energy, so the Magical Girls at the shelter decide to join the fight against the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, in Chuo Ward, Yachiyo and Kanagi are ambushed by Mami and a horde of brainwashed Feathers at the Kamihama Central Tower heliport. The battle is difficult due to the Feathers&#039; numbers and Mami&#039;s enhanced power from the Uwasa. Kanagi reads Mami&#039;s mind and finds her personality has been completely overwritten by the Uwasa&#039;s influence, leaving only her devotion to the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia then arrive as reinforcements and during the fight, a Black Feather loses her &amp;quot;Receiver Pendant.&amp;quot; Kanagi reads this Feather&#039;s mind, uncovering that the Feathers&#039; berserk state is caused by the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Receiver Pendant,&amp;quot; which numbs their emotions and forces them to obey the Magius&#039; orders. The memory also reveals the three Magius orchestrating the attack to harvest emotional energy from the chaos, believing it will bring their utopia closer. The Feather who lost her pendant then begins to regain her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team battles the brainwashed Mami and the Wings of the Magius. With the help of Momoko&#039;s team and Kanagi&#039;s ability to read the enemy&#039;s weakness, they remove the Uwasa from Mami, freeing her from its control. Mami collapses from exhaustion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Homura pleads with Madoka and Sayaka not to go to Kamihama, fearing for their lives against Walpurgisnacht. After initial hesitation, Madoka and Sayaka resolve to go and Homura agrees to accompany them. The trio leaves for Kamihama but cannot contact Iroha Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Upon arriving in Kamihama, the three are attacked by brainwashed Black Feathers in Sakae Ward, but the Feathers suddenly regain their senses and flee. The trio pursues them into Central Ward and meets Kanoko Yayoi, Karin Misono, and Natsuki Utsuho. They learn that other Magical Girls are gathering at Mitama Yakumo&#039;s office and Karin reveals she saw Nanaka Tokiwa carrying an unconscious Mami there. The group goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds Mami, who has been freed from the Magius&#039; control and awakens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius then execute their plan: they cause a city-wide blackout and seize control of Kamihama&#039;s radio waves and power grid. They use Nemu&#039;s power to project a false utopia over the city, attracting Witches, and Touka&#039;s power to send a signal that summons the legendary Witch, Walpurgisnacht. Their goal is to use the chaos and emotional energy to hatch &amp;quot;Eve.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana infiltrate the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; Labyrinth, initially having their presence hidden due to Sana&#039;s unique magic. There, Iroha confronts Touka and Nemu, using the Uwasa itself as proof that her memories of their shared past with Ui are real. Despite this, Touka and Nemu don&#039;t believe her and refuse to halt their plans. Alina arrives, captures Iroha, and takes her to their main base, Hotel Fendt Hope. Afterwards, Sana escapes and informs Yachiyo&#039;s arriving team of Iroha&#039;s capture.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Mitama reveals she previously supplied the Wings with Grief Seeds in exchange for neutrality but has now chosen to side with Yachiyo&#039;s team against them. Mami herself awakens, now having reconciled with her inner turmoil. Now, Yachiyo&#039;s team, reinforced by Momoko&#039;s team and Mami, prepares to assault Hotel Fendt Hope to rescue Iroha and stop the Magius before Walpurgisnacht arrives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, freed from the Uwasa&#039;s influence, resolves to expose the Magius&#039; true plans to the Feathers and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka decide to support her instead of joining Iroha&#039;s group. Nanaka and her team escort them to the heliport and during the journey, Mami explains to Nanaka that the Feathers&#039; loyalty was placed not in the Magius themselves, but in Mifuyu Azusa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 9: Take My Hand]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the heliport, Mami arrives where the exhausted Feathers and Kamihama Magical Girls are at a stalemate. She reveals the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice hundreds of civilians, including the Feathers&#039; own friends and family, to Walpurgisnacht. She also details their previous use of the Chelation Land Rumor for a similar purpose and the Feathers are shocked and dismayed. Some even accuse Mami of hypocrisy, which she does not deny.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Feathers split into two factions: one that still desires liberation at any cost and another that vows to protect Kamihama. A fight breaks out between them and Madoka and the others defend Mami, declaring their unwavering friendship. Moved, Mami asks the Feathers if they have anyone they trust unconditionally, as she now does, and the Feathers state they trust Mifuyu and demand to hear the truth from her directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami entrusts the Feathers to Nanaka&#039;s team, while she, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka then proceed to Hotel Fendthope to aid Iroha. On the way, Mami thanks her friends and asks them to rely on her as an equal ally and friend, not as a veteran. They arrive at the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Mitama is guarding the entrance. She confirms she is aware of Mami&#039;s past struggles and allows the group to pass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 16th==&lt;br /&gt;
* At Hotel Fendt Hope, Sana infiltrates the hotel to find Iroha and she overhears Feathers discussing Iroha&#039;s location and heads there. Iroha is held in a cell and, with her Soul Gem confiscated, she reflects on her memories of Ui, Touka, and Nemu and resolves to stop the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their plans and Alina demands Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem and body be brought to her. A weather report at the same time indicates the approach of Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana locates Iroha&#039;s cell, and she breaks Iroha out, but the act of breaking the cell door triggers an Uwasa, as the entire building is part of a Rumor. Sana defeats the Uwasa and as they flee, they are ambushed by Black Feathers. Kyoko Sakura, who was undergoing an orientation with the Feathers but decided against joining them, intervenes and helps defeat the attackers as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha explains the Magius&#039; goal is to summon Walpurgisnacht, and Kyoko reveals the Magius also plan to use Iroha, Mifuyu, and the Amane sisters as nourishment for &amp;quot;Eve,&amp;quot; the core of the system. Suddenly, Iroha collapses and stops breathing due to the distance from her Soul Gem. A Black Feather who pretended to be unconscious seizes Iroha&#039;s body and escapes with it, and Sana and Kyoko give chase.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team enters the Hotel Fendt Hope through the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth and they split into two teams: Yachiyo&#039;s group heads to the top floor to rescue Mifuyu and the Amane sisters, while Momoko&#039;s group searches for Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team finds Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa unconscious, their bodies separated from their Soul Gems. They quickly recover the Soul Gems, reviving the three, and Mifuyu confirms the Magius summoned Walpurgisnacht to provide energy to hatch Eve. Mifuyu and the Amane sisters renounce the Magius and join Yachiyo&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Iroha is transported by a Black Feather who reveals her motivation: her younger sister turned into a Witch, and she supports the Magius to prevent others from suffering the same fate. Momoko&#039;s team intercepts them and rescues Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko and Sana fight their way through the hotel and reunite with the main group. Momoko&#039;s team recovers a bag containing Iroha&#039;s, Mifuyu&#039;s, and the Amane sisters&#039; Soul Gems. A group of Feathers from the East confronts them but is persuaded by Kanagi to stand down, and they retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the teams reunited, the full coalition of Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, Kanagi, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Kyoko regroups. They possess all the stolen Soul Gems and are united in their goal to stop the Magius and confront Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team&#039;s path to the underground chapel is blocked and Mifuyu determines the magical building, a Rumor crafted by Nemu Hiiragi, has been reconfigured. Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa attempt to break the blockade, but a powerful magical wind erupts, separating the group. Mifuyu, the Amane sisters, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, and Kyoko are blown outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, Sana, Felicia, Tsuruno, and Kanagi remain inside and they defeat an Uwasa that attacks them. Mifuyu communicates from outside that they are locked out, and she devises a new plan: her group will gather other Kamihama Magical Girls to attack and destroy the Uwasa of Hotel Fendt Hope itself, which will collapse the building. She instructs Yachiyo&#039;s group to hurry to the underground chapel for safety before the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu&#039;s group fights off Witches released by Alina Gray as a defense measure. Mami, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka also arrive and assist them. After the battle, Mami convinces Mifuyu to address all the Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, and using the Amane sisters&#039; sound magic, Mifuyu broadcasts a telepathic message across Kamihama, revealing the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice civilians and summon Walpurgisnacht. She urges the Feathers to lay down their arms and prepare to fight the legendary Witch. Many Feathers also heed her call and defect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami then uses her magic to create a small opening in the building&#039;s barrier and enters Hotel Fendt Hope alone to rejoin Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kyoko is noted to be absent. Yachiyo&#039;s team searches for the entrance to the underground chapel and Mami reveals she concealed the entrance with her magic. She severs the ribbon hiding the path, officially breaking her ties with the Wings of the Magius and Mami then leaves to assist with the attack on the Uwasa of Fendt Hope outside. Kyoko meets Mami along the way and gives her a Grief Seed before they both exit the building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team then encounters false copies of Touka, Nemu, and Alina from the Mirror Witch&#039;s barrier; they realize the fakes speak differently and defeat them before continuing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, Mifuyu&#039;s group, now joined by Mami, Kyoko, and the Feathers who defected, attacks the Uwasa of Fendt Hope. Despite a coordinated assault, the Uwasa proves extremely resilient and withstands their combined power. The battle continues as the city-wide weather disaster escalates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team proceeds down a long staircase into a deep, dark underground area filled with strong magical impurities. Along the way, they are confronted by Mirror copies of themselves that voice their deepest insecurities, but each member overcomes their own doubts by relying on their friends. In the underground chapel, they find Alina, Nemu, and Touka waiting for them. At the back of the chapel, they see the massive, unhatched form of the Witch known as Embryo Eve. They reveal the full scope of their plan. They explain that Kyubey&#039;s true mission is to harvest the emotional energy of Magical Girls to counteract the universe&#039;s heat death. The cycle of hope and despair, culminating in a Magical Girl&#039;s transformation into a Witch, produces the necessary energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius intend to usurp this system. They plan to use the phase transition energy from Eve&#039;s transformation into a full Witch to create a permanent forcefield over Kamihama. This field would allow Magical Girls to release their impurities as Doppels instead of becoming Witches, and the energy would be fed back to the universe, making Kyubey and new Magical Girl contracts obsolete. The imminent arrival of Walpurgisnacht is a key part of their plan, as its destruction by Eve will provide the massive energy required.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Despite understanding the plan, Iroha and her team refuse to accept the Magius&#039; methods or their control over the future. The Magius argue that without their plan, Walpurgisnacht will destroy the city regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 2.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, the battle against the Uwasa of Fendt Hope continues. Realizing they are losing, Mifuyu uses a dangerous self-illusion to unleash all her magic at once in a final attack. She destroys the Uwasa but becomes incapacitated in the process as her Soul Gem starts breaking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the chapel, the destruction of the Uwasa causes Fendt Hope&#039;s Labyrinth to collapse, and the chapel is exposed to the outside as the building disappears. After the collapse of Hotel Fendt Hope, the teams reunite in the forest as the Labyrinth vanishes. Yachiyo learns that Mifuyu was severely injured destroying the Uwasa and was taken to Mitama for treatment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius appear with Embryo Eve, now freed from the chapel, and they prepare to fully release Eve so it can devour the approaching Walpurgisnacht. A battle ensues as the teams try to stop them and Iroha and Sana break through the defensive line of Familiars to attack Eve directly. Iroha&#039;s attack on Eve fails and Eve captures Iroha but does not harm her. A bright light emanates from Iroha, allowing Sana to rescue her. Sana reveals she possesses a branch from the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, which was not in bloom when she received it. The branch suddenly blossoms after Iroha touches Eve and Iroha realizes that Embryo Eve is her missing sister, Ui Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana confront Embryo Eve on Takayama Mountain and Iroha believes Eve is her sister, Ui Tamaki, but Eve breaks free from the mountain and begins to move toward Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama City, Walpurgisnacht approaches from the sea, accompanied by a massive horde of Familiars that begin to swarm the city. Magical Girl teams led by Hinano Miyako and Nanaka Tokiwa engage the Familiars along the coast to prevent widespread destruction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the ruins of Hotel Fendt Hope, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo bring the injured Mifuyu to Mitama Yakumo for emergency aid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Takayama Mountain, Iroha pleads with the combined Magical Girl forces not to kill Eve, revealing her belief that it is Ui. The Magius leaders and Alina retreat. Eve leaps into the sky, heading for Sankyo Ward in Kamihama. Yachiyo Nanami&#039;s team prepares to pursue Eve, while Madoka Kaname&#039;s group from Mitakihara heads to the coast to help defend against Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Magius headquarters, Touka and Nemu dismiss Iroha&#039;s claims about Ui, despite Nemu&#039;s private suspicions. Alina expresses interest in Iroha&#039;s memories but remains focused on Eve&#039;s hatching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Eve&#039;s arrival in Sankyo Ward, Mitama informs Iroha and the team that Ui&#039;s true body and Soul Gem are contained within Embryo Eve, which is a &amp;quot;Half-Witch.&amp;quot; To save Ui, they must defeat Eve&#039;s manifested form without destroying the Soul Gem and Mitama identifies a large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest as the core that maintains its form and its weak point. Mitama also treats the comatose Mifuyu, whose Soul Gem is critically cracked from overuse. Mitama stabilizes it but cannot fully heal her, and Tsukuyo and Tsukasa decide to rejoin the fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Eve rampages through Sankyo Ward, the combined Magical Girl teams attack Eve but find their assaults completely ineffective. Mitama, the Amane sisters, and other groups like Hinano Miyako&#039;s team regroup and they decide to consolidate their forces: one group will focus on defeating Eve, while the other prepares for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s landfall.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia readies her hammer and strikes Eve on the head with a magic‑powered blow, using her memory‑obliterating ability to confuse Eve and halt its advance; in the aftermath of the strike, a strange glow is visible near Eve&#039;s belly. Meanwhile, the Amane sisters relay the critical intelligence about Eve&#039;s red jewel weak point to Yachiyo&#039;s team. Eve begins to move toward Chuo Ward, and Sana proposes a plan to immobilize Eve so the team can target its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, the combined forces of Yachiyo&#039;s team, the Amane sisters, and other White Feathers execute a plan to immobilize Embryo Eve. They use chains from Sana&#039;s shield, spears, and plants to bind Eve to a large building and Iroha successfully strikes the large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest, its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eve retaliates by absorbing a massive vortex of impurities its Familiars had collected, causing its body to mutate and merge with the jewel. Iroha then sees a vision of Ui trapped within the core, reaffirming her resolve to save her, but the Magius arrive to protect Eve and ensure it consumes Walpurgisnacht. Iroha declares her intent to enter the gem to save Ui directly, and despite being severely injured, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia hold off the Magius, creating an opening for Iroha to advance toward Eve&#039;s core.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:10-19.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha reaches Ui&#039;s body but cannot shatter the gem surrounding it completely. Touka arrives at her side, and questions her motives. Iroha declares Ui is her sister and a precious friend to Touka and Nemu, and as Iroha reaches for Ui, the Embryo Eve attacks and Lil&#039; Kyubey intervenes and blocks the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu experience a flood of memories, recalling the original events. She remembers seeing Iroha with Kyubey in a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, learning about Magical Girls, and devising a plan with Ui and Nemu to usurp Kyubey&#039;s powers to create an automatic purification system and save all Magical Girls. Their plan failed when Ui&#039;s &amp;quot;harvest&amp;quot; ability went haywire upon her transformation, forcing Nemu to sever Ui&#039;s soul from her body and store it within the de-powered, small Kyubey to prevent her from becoming a Witch. This act erased Ui from the world&#039;s memory, as well as any traces of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Regaining their memories, Touka uses her stored energy to destabilize the Embryo Eve and Nemu uses her stories to restrain it. Iroha shatters Eve&#039;s central gem, and the small Kyubey releases Ui&#039;s soul. Ui awakens and reassures Touka and Nemu that she does not blame them for their shared decision. The Embryo Eve, now soulless, begins to decay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined Magical Girl forces, including Mami, Kyoko, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura, continue their battle against Walpurgisnacht in Chuo Ward. Despite their numbers, the Witch proves immensely powerful and resilient.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102304 mikage desire.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, a massive explosion of light and energy erupts from the location of the decaying Embryo Eve. The Eve has transformed into a new, stable form, and Touka deduces that Alina, who had previously shrunk the anti-Kyubey forcefield to contain the city&#039;s energy, has now wrapped that forcefield tightly around Eve. This action stabilized Eve&#039;s energy and prevented its decay, allowing Alina to control it as a tool for her art. Alina appears, now fused with an Uwasa in a manner similar to [[Holy Mami]], and declares her intent to use Eve to create her ultimate masterpiece, disregarding the goal of Magical Girl liberation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, as this is taking place, [[Mikage Yakumo]], Mitama&#039;s younger sister, is approached by Kyubey when the Barrier disappears. After he explains Mitama&#039;s wish to her, Mikage makes a wish of her own to undo the effects of Mitama&#039;s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Chapter 2: Smiles and Fireworks]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Holy Alina]] asserts that humanity subconsciously desires destruction and that she will use the Embryo Eve to fulfill this wish as her ultimate artwork. Kanagi confronts her own past desire to destroy the city due to its history of conflict but ultimately rejects Alina&#039;s path as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 nemu uwasa.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu, as the creator of Alina&#039;s Uwasa, takes responsibility. She uses the last of her life force to summon every Uwasa recorded in her book to attack Alina directly. The attack defeats Alina, making her disappear, but Nemu collapses, severely weakened and unable to move her legs, so White Feathers evacuate her to safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 eve user1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Embryo Eve, now uncontrolled, begins to rampage and targets Ui, attempting to reabsorb her. Lil&#039; Kyubey implies a solution: it will take Ui&#039;s place within Eve. Touka realizes that the small Kyubey, which contains Ui&#039;s former soul and Kyubey&#039;s original functions, possesses similar attributes to Eve. It is also incapable of becoming a Witch. Lil&#039; Kyubey merges with the Embryo Eve, causing it to release all orbs of light from its body, lading in different parts of Kamihama. The small Kyubey thus becomes the core of the &amp;quot;Automatic Purification System&amp;quot; that Touka, Ui, and Nemu originally envisioned, preventing Magical Girls from becoming Witches within Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival, the combined forces of Magical Girls, including the various teams from Kamihama and the team from Mitakihara, are on the verge of defeat. Homura and the others exhaust their weapons and energy in a desperate attempt to defeat it. They are exhausted, out of Grief Seeds, many are incapacitated, and despite their injuries and depleted resources, the girls refuse to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Last Magia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Walpurgisnacht prepares a massive attack that seems certain to annihilate them, an unknown, benevolent force envelops the Magical Girls. Iroha hears a mysterious voice and sees white feathers raining down, an experience shared by everyone on the battlefield. They all experience a sudden surge of energy and a feeling of being urged forward. This voice is from the Law of Cycles, who had been watching the timeline but not interfering with it. The feathers rejuvenate the group, lifting their spirits and empowering them to continue fighting; their strength is restored, and even the injured find themselves able to fight again. With morale returned, they rally together for one final, united assault, redirecting Walpurgisnacht to Kaihin Park using a coordinated strategy with their unique magical abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined forces of Magical Girls coordinate their unique magics to combat Walpurgisnacht: &lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Natsuki Utsuho initiate the counterattack by using their Encouragement and Cheering magic to boost the morale and power of all allies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seizing this surge of energy, the team implements a complex strategy to control the battlefield. First, Felicia, Meiyui Chun, and Rika Ayano use their Memory Erasure, Persuasion, and Mind-Altering magic to disorient Walpurgisnacht and force it to change course toward the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** To precisely guide the Witch to the intended battleground, Tsuruno, Riko Chiaki, and Emiri Kisaki then use their Good Luck, Luring, and Charm magic, successfully leading Walpurgisnacht to the beachfront park while evading its attacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Once there, the focus shifts to immobilizing the colossal foe. Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Asuka Tatsuki use their Flute Blossom Resonance and Action Control magic in an attempt to halt Walpurgisnacht&#039;s movement entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When it retaliates, Himika Mao diverts its attacks, creating an opening for Kanagi Izumi, who, with a power boost from Mitama&#039;s Coordination, attacks it directly to stun it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** This creates the crucial opening for a full restraint, and Mami, Kanoko Yayoi, and Kaede use Ribbon Binding, Stitching, and Plant magic to ensnare the Witch, which Rena amplified by using her Transformation magic to transform into Kaede and double the restraining power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Walpurgisnacht finally immobilized, Nanaka organizes their forces while Hazuki Yusa and Akira Shinobu identify its weak point with their magic, a gear connected to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire group then launch a coordinated, all-out assault, with offensive magics like Hinano Miyako&#039;s Chemical Explosions leading the charge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout the final attack, Kokoro Awane, Ayame Mikuri, and Konoha Shizumi provide vital defense with their Wall Creation, Safeguarding, and Fog Generation magic, protecting the assault team and ensuring their united strike could land.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Realizing their combined assault was not enough to deliver a final blow, the Magical Girls regroup and to ensure they could act as one perfect unit, Reira Ibuki uses her Purifying Flame to heal their wounds and replenish their energy, while Mito Aino uses her Heart-Linking magic to synchronize their hearts and minds, allowing their resolve to become perfectly aligned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With their spirits united, they form a new strategy and Konomi Haruna uses her magic to force their Fighting Spirit to Bloom, amplifying their collective potential, while Kako Natsume uses her Event Reproduction magic to reinforce the gathered energy, and Ren Isuzu enacts her Nirvana magic to ensure the attack would bring permanent rest to the Witch if successful.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The plan to create a final weapon then commences. Ui uses her Harvest magic to gather the hope and magical energy from every single Magical Girl on the battlefield. She passes this immense energy to Touka, who used her Conversion magic to condense it all into a single, concentrated mass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* This mass of collective hope is then entrusted to Yachiyo, whose unique magic of Inheritance allows her to embody and control the power. She and Iroha shape this energy into a gigantic, radiant arrow aimed at the weak point that had been identified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they prepared to fire, Walpurgisnacht launches an attack to free itself from their binds. In that moment, Homura activates her Time-Stop, and touches Iroha, allowing her to move within the suspended time and take aim unimpeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the path clear, Iroha releases the arrow and strikes the central gear with overwhelming force. As time resumed, the arrow consumed Walpurgisnacht in a brilliant explosion, finally ending the calamity and clearing the sky over Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102005 magicalgirl3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura reflects that she has finally surpassed this battle after countless timelines, and Madoka expresses relief that no more people will suffer from Walpurgisnacht. The girls in Kamihama also celebrate their hard-earned victory, despite the fact that many are injured and exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Epilogue==&lt;br /&gt;
* Some days after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, Iroha and Ui see their parents off at the airport as they leave for their overseas assignment. Iroha and Ui then return to Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama City, where Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana welcome them back. Mifuyu is also present, as Iroha was able to use her magic to repair Mifuyu&#039;s damaged Soul Gem, allowing her to recover. Later that day, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Kanagi, and Mitama visit Mikazuki Villa as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, [[Ultimate Madoka]], a being who identifies as a record-keeper of all universes reflects on the new timeline centered on Kamihama. She states she intervened one last time by sending a &amp;quot;rain of feathers&amp;quot; to empower the Magical Girls but will now only observe, fearing further direct interference could damage this fragile new reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu organize a meeting for all Magical Girls involved in the recent conflict to discuss the actions of the Wings of the Magius and the future fate of all Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu visit the Eternal Sakura. The Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura congratulates them on finally being together as friends and Nemu, who now uses a wheelchair, accepts her condition as a consequence of her past actions. Iroha briefly wonders about the whereabouts of the small Kyubey that once accompanied her, and then meet Lil&#039; Kyubey in the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After some days, Homura reflects on their victory. Despite saving Madoka and defeating Walpurgisnacht, she feels uncertain. The fundamental curse of Magical Girls becoming Witches remains, and she questions if this timeline is truly the best outcome. At school, Mami informs the group about recent disappearances and people getting lost, which they attribute to a new Witch. They devise a plan to track it by mapping the incidents. Kyoko arrives from Kazamino, also hunting the same Witch, and a tense alliance forms.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: The Place We Finally Reached]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group splits into teams to search the area Mami identified. Madoka notices Homura&#039;s preoccupation and reassures her. The teams locate the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and coordinate their attack. During the battle, Homura fears for her friends&#039; safety, but they work together effectively. Kyoko and Sayaka create an opening for Mami and Madoka to deliver the final blow, while Homura evacuates the Witch-Kissed civilians.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Kyoko gives the Grief Seed to Mami and Sayaka declares she has no regrets about becoming a Magical Girl, valuing the power to protect and the friends she has made. This prompts Mami to reconcile with Kyoko, asking to be true friends who help each other when needed again, to which Kyoko agrees. Madoka then states she is also glad she became a Magical Girl, expressing faith in the future because of her friends. This resolve causes Homura to weep with joy, finally believing this timeline, where they face their fate together, could be the one she sought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group, including Kyoko, shares a meal at a pancake restaurant. They discuss an upcoming meeting in Kamihama to address the Magius&#039; actions. While Kyoko opts not to attend, the others plan to update her later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 04 00 0042 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One Saturday, Mami volunteers to help clean the damage done by the Magius incident and Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura go along as well. During it, a Witch attacks and a Magical Girl they were helping unleashes a Doppel. They defeat the Witch and the girl falls unconscious, so Mami takes her to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After stabilizing her, Mami asks Mitama to help her face her own Doppel and she guides Mami to look within. Mami meets her Doppel and it tries to convince her to forget the past, yet Mami refuses and proclaims that she accepts the Doppel as part of herself. Mami then wakes up, thanking everyone and says they will build the future together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cherry Blossom Dreams===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, the Eternal Sakura completed her duties as an Uwasa when her tree came into full bloom. Her Rumor was rewritten and she was connected to Touka&#039;s server, reborn as an Uwasa with ample knowledge who would later be named Sakurako. Around this time, Yachiyo received a message asking what should be done about the six ringleaders of the Magius—Touka Satomi, Nemu Hiiragi, Mifuyu Azusa, Mitama Yakumo, Tsukuyo Amane, and Tsukasa Amane. Nemu proposed rewriting the Eternal Sakura to serve as an impartial judge. They designed three trials: the first to analyze crimes and calculate a verdict, the second to survey all Magical Girls, and the third to reach a final decision based on responses. Punishments ranged from monitoring to destruction of the Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the first trial, Sakurako sentenced Touka and Nemu to the maximum penalty. Mifuyu received power revocation, reduced from maximum due to testimony that she helped destroy Fendt Hope. Mitama received conditional power revocation, allowed to transform only for Coordinator work. The Amane sisters received power restriction. After the trial, Touka and Nemu remained calm, thanking everyone. Yachiyo noted they had intentionally omitted their ages from consideration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Nemu and Sakurako wait at a train station with others. Nearby girls whisper about Nemu, recognizing her as one of the Magius and questioning why she faces no punishment. Ui argues with Iroha about using the Stardust Time Viewer, while Touka pushes through the crowd, disheveled from navigating the train alone. The three girls reunite, each feeling it is a dream. Touka sends Ui a photo of the map they created together in the hospital. The group travels to the mall, where Ui finally visits the croquette shop she always wanted to try, and they share plates to taste each other&#039;s orders. From there, they take a rickshaw to Mizuna Shrine, where they briefly encounter Tsukuyo and Tsukasa, who quickly hurry away. The group buys prayer plaques, though most hesitate at the cost until a shrine attendant suggests writing prayers on the back of their fortunes instead. Iroha wishes for all Magical Girls to get along, while Touka and Nemu write their own wishes. They argue over where to go next—Touka wants a lookout point in Hokuyo Ward, but Ui resists rushing. Sakurako suggests they also face reality, so they head to Central Ward, still scarred from Walpurgisnacht and Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui admits she used the library as an excuse to bring them here, hoping the Stardust Time Viewer would show them a hopeful future. Nemu summons the Rumor, transporting them to a star-filled space. The Viewer shows Iroha&#039;s future: a world where the Doppel system has expanded globally and all Magical Girls coexist peacefully. Iroha feels embarrassed, but Sakurako assures her the wish is beautiful. When Ui asks to see her own future, the Viewer has nothing to show. Ui realizes this means Touka and Nemu are absent from Iroha&#039;s future and accuses them of planning to die. The vision fades, returning them to the rubble of Central Ward. Touka and Nemu admit they believe they should die for their crimes, pointing to the destruction around them, the Feathers they manipulated, and the innocent people hurt. Sakurako confirms she knew this all along. Ui slaps them both, demanding they consider how she feels. Nemu explains they wanted to do what they could while they still had time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second trial begins. No surveys have arrived. Sakurako agrees to wait one hour. Yachiyo and others leave to retrieve them. Mifuyu confronts Touka and Nemu, asking if they sabotaged the surveys. They admit they did, altering the date so the surveys would not arrive in time. They wanted to be judged and sentenced to death to spare Ui from the hatred directed at them. Ui refuses to accept this. She and Iroha transform to protect them. The hour ends and Sakurako moves to deliver punishment. Iroha and Ui hold her back as Mifuyu and Mitama join the defense. The Amane sisters attack Sakurako with their flutes, accepting heavier sentences. Iroha realizes they can use photos of the surveys as evidence. Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s phones begin chiming with images from Yachiyo and the others. Iroha begs Sakurako to accept the evidence. Sakurako confirms the surveys are real and delays the trial, requiring them to arrive by day&#039;s end. The surveys show Magical Girls believe Touka and Nemu should be punished, but not killed. Some suggest atonement, rehabilitation, or mentorship. Reading the responses, Touka and Nemu weep, but Ui weeps with joy. Based on the surveys, sentences are reduced. Touka and Nemu receive monitoring with transformation-prevention bracelets, while Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s sentences are reduced to monitoring. The Amane sisters are found not guilty and Feathers who revealed themselves have their cases dismissed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the group gathers. Touka and Nemu wear their bracelets. Sakurako serves drinks. Mifuyu asks about tutoring Touka in exchange for help with pharmacy school. Nemu will rely on Sakurako for mobility on difficult days. Tsuruno suggests welcoming them as the Brains of Kamihama. In the kitchen, Sakurako hugs Touka and Nemu, then Iroha and Ui. She tells them she loves them. The days she always dreamed of have arrived. The real spring can finally begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocolatier in Mirror Country===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro, Masara, Konomi, Asuka and Sasara gather at Manaka&#039;s place to plan their charity bazaar booth. Kokoro and Masara participate to help Himika&#039;s family without making it obvious, while Asuka and Sasara join to invite a lonely girl named Chi whose father died. Konomi&#039;s booth was invited directly due to her popular Valentine&#039;s bouquets. They agree on a collaboration between Walnuts and Blossom the florist, dividing tasks among themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Warming Valentine]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Manaka&#039;s father&#039;s help, Kokoro and Masara make bear-shaped chocolates. Asuka recruits dojo volunteers, Sasara invites Chi and designs leaflets, and Konomi prepares bouquets with Izayoi&#039;s help decorating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the bazaar, adults receive bouquets with donation and children get free chocolates. Chi and her mother visit happily. Himika initially refuses chocolate but accepts after realizing her siblings want it, and they enjoy the day together. The event succeeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later at a celebration party, Sasara and Kokoro feel their efforts changed nothing. Masara scolds them for impatience, explaining kindness takes time. Kanagi and Asuka arrive with good news that Himika&#039;s family is making White Day gifts, and Chi&#039;s mother now calls daily. Relieved, they enjoy the party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Valentine&#039;s Day, girls give chocolates to loved ones. Sasara gives to her father, Asuka to her cousin, and Konomi to her aunt. Masara and Kokoro exchange chocolates at their favorite spot, and Kokoro tearfully reconciles with her parents. Elsewhere, Rena and Tsukuyo each struggle to give chocolates to Kaede and Tsukasa. Following a rumor, they separately pray at a radio tower, accidentally encounter each other, and successfully give their chocolates when Kaede and Tsukasa also arrive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, in Mitakihara, Nagisa bakes a chocolate cake with Mami while feeling that something is wrong, as her memories feel hazy and she seems more childish than she should be. She realizes her memories of being longtime friends with Mami are false, yet she recognizes that the warmth she feels is what she has always wanted. When they finish the cake, a Witch that looks like a younger version of Nagisa steals it, and they chase it into a mirror, finding themselves in a transformed version of the Mirror Witch&#039;s Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Chocolatier in Mirror Country]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They encounter Madoka and Homura trapped in a time loop illusion, free them, and learn that Sayaka and Kyoko went ahead and are now missing. They find Sayaka and Kyoko trapped in a competition for a magical cake, so Mami and Nagisa enter and win by choosing a song they both know well. Using the cake&#039;s wishes, they reunite the group and defeat the attacking Witch. Nagisa realizes she has two sets of memories and deduces the chocolate-loving Witch is an alternate version of herself who wished for chocolate cake instead of cheesecake. This Witch has been consuming the Labyrinth&#039;s power and attracting Witches from parallel worlds through mirror gates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The little Witch steals the cake again, and during the chase, Nagisa and Mami become separated in a dark fog. A poem warns them not to open their eyes or they will lose each other, but Nagisa&#039;s self-doubt overwhelms her. Remembering losing her mother and everyone else, she convinces herself Mami is not really there, opens her eyes, and is consumed by the Witch. The group fights through countless gates to find her and engages the master Witch. Inside, Mami finds Nagisa, hugs her tightly, and promises they will always be friends because of the future they will share, not false memories. Nagisa finally believes her, and the cake is returned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group realizes that even with the master Witch defeated, other Witches have taken its place, so they must clear them all to restore the Labyrinth. They commit to finishing the job together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Labyrinth is cleared, they gather at Mami&#039;s apartment for a chocolate party where Nagisa officially gives Mami the cake. They play poker with chocolate coins to decide how to share the remaining half, and Mami wins, but she divides the cake equally among all six. Everyone agrees it is the best cake in the universe. Nagisa thanks Mami, and Mami welcomes her warmly, calling her a little chocolatier and a lovely new addition to their circle of friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Kamihama, that night, Tsukuyo finds Rena praying at the Chuo Ward radio tower, having both read an online article claiming that twenty minutes of prayer there ensures successful apologies to loved ones. Tsukuyo confesses she hurt her twin sister Tsukasa by rejecting their Valentine&#039;s plans after failing at homemade chocolate, while Rena admits she snapped at Kaede and claimed she had no chocolate for her after Kaede had given her some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The 14th Day Where I Can&#039;t Be Honest]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their conversation is interrupted when Tsukasa and Kaede suddenly appear, having anticipated their partners would come here to apologize. Tsukasa assures Tsukuyo she was not upset and would treasure any chocolate from her, urging her to be easier on herself. Kaede forgives Rena and asks simply for her to be more honest. Together, the two pairs exchange Valentine&#039;s wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany===&lt;br /&gt;
* Walpurgisnacht&#039;s attack on Kamihama City caused massive damage to Chuo Ward, which the public believes was a natural disaster. Only Magical Girls know the truth and privately, Mitama reflects that the victory gave her hope, but she wonders if the destruction she once wished for can be defied.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0008 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after Walpurgisnacht, Mitama realizes Doyle has not visited her shop and the last saw him the day before Walpurgisnacht. She assumes the storm made him too scared to go out, so she decides to close her shop and search for him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama looks around the vacant land near her shop and a girl named Ritsumi offers to help. Ritsumi’s cat Arthur ran away before, so she knows where cats hide. They search but find nothing and Ritsumi says Arthur now lives with her grandpa. Mitama realizes Ritsumi is the daughter of the neighbor who owns Arthur and Mitama had mistaken Arthur for Doyle and that Ritsumi has never actually seen Doyle. They end the day without clues and Mitama sends a message to the Magical Girls’ group chat asking if anyone has seen a white tabby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama knocks on the neighbor’s door and Ritsumi’s mother answers. She explains that Arthur was sent away two weeks ago to Ritsumi’s grandpa. Mitama realizes that no one knows where Doyle came from. Ritsumi’s mother promises to keep an eye out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana, Asuka, and others from Mizuna Girls’ Academy saw Mitama’s group chat post and they arrive to help. More volunteers soon arrive: Kaede, Kako, Rena, Konoha’s team, and others. They split up to cover Shinsei Ward and Mitama notes that no one else has ever seen Doyle. Konoha says she never saw a cat at Mitama’s shop. Rena also asks for a photo, but Mitama has none.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds Ritsumi near the bus stop and they search door to door. No one in the neighborhood has seen a white tabby kitten either. Ritsumi says she has read all “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” books and that her favorite is “Invisible Epiphany,” about a detective searching for a lost child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko meets Mitama alone. Momoko says she never saw Doyle and neither did Tsukasa or the other girls. Mitama remembers talking to Doyle in front of them, but they saw no cat ither. Momoko suggests a Rumor is involved, as all Rumors disappeared after the fight with the Magius, except the Eternal Sakura. Coincidentally, Doyle disappeared at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls Nemu, who is still in the hospital and Nemu explains that Doyle was part of the Rumor of the Cat Detective. The Rumor possesses detective novel lovers, detects signs of a case, gets the detective involved, and guarantees a solution. Nemu explains she erased almost all Rumors, including this one. Mitama thinks Doyle disappeared because the Rumor was destroyed and she had solved four cases with Doyle’s help, yet the fifth never began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama re-reads her case files and each one has an opening paragraph she does not remember writing. The first case file hints at Hanna Sarasa. The second hints at Tsukasa. The third and fourth also name the culprits. Mitama realizes Doyle left those hints, and Nemu says the Rumor did not cause incidents, only detected them, so those incidents would have happened anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0009 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Kamihama slowly returns to order. Mitama notes that she cannot rely on Doyle anymore and she hopes she does not get any new cases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui and the Eternal Sakura visit Mitama to deliver a lampshade from Yachiyo. Ui says a girl from her school has gone missing and Mitama is shocked to learn the girl is Ritsumi, who did not come home after school yesterday and the police are investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama goes to the bus stop near her shop and finds Ritsumi’s mother. The mother says Ritsumi likely went to Hokuyo Ward to see her grandpa and Arthur. Ritsumi’s parents are separated and her father lives with his parents in Hokuyo Ward. The mother believes Ritsumi wanted to visit them, but the bus route to Hokuyo was suspended after the disaster but has resumed, bypassing Chuo Ward. Soon, Himika calls Mitama. Himika saw a girl matching Ritsumi’s description waiting at the Shinsei Ward bus stop yesterday, reading a book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi arrive and Momoko explains she has been investigating at school. Ritsumi transferred to Kamihama University Affiliated School six months ago after her parents separated and she moved into the building next to Mitama’s shop. Momoko explains Arthur went to live with her father in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo Ward. Mitama realizes the conflicting information: Arthur was first in Chuo Ward, then evacuated to the grandpa’s house in Hokuyo after the disaster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Satomi Medical Center, Nemu discusses the case with Eternal Sakura. Nemu recalls the hidden hints in Mitama’s case files. The last words of each hint spell “Lost Through Time Eternal,” which is the title of volume 12 of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” In that story, a girl runs away to her old home. Nemu deduces that Ritsumi went to her old apartment in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo. She likely got off at the nearest bus stop and walked into the restricted zone, then she had an accident.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Momoko, and Kanagi search the area near the old apartment and they hear a voice. Ritsumi had fallen into an old underground passage and sprained her ankle. She lost track of time and had no phone. Mitama explains she remembered the Doyle book and Ritsumi admits she was copying the girl in the story as she wanted to see the area where she grew up. The three quickly rescue her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ritsumi is taken to a hospital and also discharged quickly. Her parents agree to let her visit both of them and Arthur whenever she likes. Mitama reflects that Doyle gave her confidence and the city she cursed is still standing, so she dares to believe in hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Momoko finally holds the Coordinator Thank-You Party that was postponed earlier and Rena and Kaede thank Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui reads &amp;quot;The Happy Prince&amp;quot; and reflects on her uncertain purpose as a Magical Girl. While walking, she stops Kyubey from contracting a girl outside Kamihama, explaining she cannot let anyone else suffer the fate of becoming a Witch. When Kyubey asks what he should do instead, she has no answer. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia tells Ui she is overthinking things and should focus on her upcoming combat test. Iroha and Yachiyo serve dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno gives Ui an enthusiastic pep talk for her live combat test. To remain in Kamihama, Ui must detect and eliminate a Witch alone—the same test Yachiyo gave Iroha when she first arrived. Yachiyo admits the test may be unfair and offers to let Ui choose a partner. With Iroha busy helping Kanagi, Ui chooses Momoko. They depart together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui struggles to sense the Witch&#039;s magic, so they search Mizuna Ward where young women gather. They encounter a Familiar and follow it to a Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After defeating it, Felicia suddenly appears, attacks them, and runs away. Tsuruno gives chase and tackles her. Felicia&#039;s oblivion magic has erased their memory of the Familiar&#039;s pattern, so they cannot track the Witch. Momoko requests a pause, but Yachiyo refuses, stating unexpected events happen in real combat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia admits she interfered because she is jealous that Ui receives everyone&#039;s attention while she struggled alone as a mercenary. Yachiyo explains that Felicia&#039;s past does not justify making others unhappy. Meanwhile, Ui cheers up after eating crepes with Momoko and resolves to continue. As sunset approaches, they search Sakae Ward but find nothing. Yachiyo offers to bring a Familiar for them to retrack, but it disappears before they arrive. Ui suggests checking Hokuyo Ward on a hunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Hokuyo Ward, Ui senses a different Witch&#039;s magical reaction. They follow Witch-kissed people up a mountain toward a labyrinth. At Yachiyo&#039;s house, the others realize Ui failed the test since Yachiyo had to eliminate the original Witch herself, though Yachiyo will allow a retake. They notice Felicia smiling and suspect she interfered again. Rena confesses she helped Felicia erase the hint because she understood Felicia&#039;s jealousy. Tsuruno says the only person who deserves an apology is Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the mountain, Ui and Momoko enter the Witch&#039;s barrier against Momoko&#039;s better judgment. They fight through Familiars but become trapped and cannot escape. The Witch overwhelms them. Yachiyo and the others arrive and join the fight, but Familiars overwhelm them too. Iroha arrives at the last moment to defend Ui. Ui proposes using her ability to harvest impurities, purifying everyone&#039;s Soul Gems so they can fight at full strength. She will temporarily become a Witch, but the Doppel system will contain it. She absorbs the impurities, and the others destroy the Witch while Ui struggles with the darkness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui unleashes her Doppel and meets her Doppel self, who accuses her of wanting punishment and being jealous of others while trapped in the hospital. Ui nearly agrees to let the Doppel consume her but refuses, recognizing it as the easy way out. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words about taking responsibility and confronting the situation honestly. She accepts her wrongs and her true feelings, realizing this difficult path will bring true happiness. The Doppel admits she is right. Iroha wakes Ui at Mitama&#039;s clinic, where she has been unconscious for some time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama checks on Ui after her first Doppel release. Felicia apologizes for her interference and says she thinks Ui is cool. Rena also apologizes for helping Felicia. Ui accepts their apologies and compliments them both, asking Felicia to teach her things. Rena and Felicia feel terrible for how they treated someone so kind. Later that evening at Yachiyo&#039;s house, everyone celebrates Ui passing her test—though she did not defeat the assigned Witch, she tracked a Witch, stayed calm, used her intelligence, and performed better than expected. Ui tells Iroha she now knows what she wants to do as a Magical Girl. Iroha decides to work with other Kamihama Magical Girls to find a way to free them all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui and Iroha encounter Kyubey outside Kamihama attempting another contract and stop him. Kyubey asks what their goal is. They explain they plan to fight and find a way to coexist with Kyubey—if they can expand Kamihama&#039;s miracle globally, Magical Girls can live happily while providing the energy Kyubey needs. Kyubey welcomes the idea if it avoids conflict but warns that Magical Girls worldwide are not as unified as those in Kamihama. Ui wonders how much happiness she can give to the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tart / Darc Magica===&lt;br /&gt;
* Through Minou&#039;s spell from 15th-century France, Ui is pulled into the past, with her phone acting as her Soul Gem and Blank Prophecy, with the power to restore the past&#039;s real history.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rebel of a Dawnless Land]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning from the past, Ui finds herself in an antique store, still surrounded by magic bubbles though no memory of what occured. On the floor are the two candles and the old book. She feels they are important but cannot remember why, so she puts them on store shelves before falling asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui wakes up at Mikazuki Villa. Her phone rings with a text of Nemu asking if she knows any charms, as Mitama has been really into them lately. Ui says she knows a charm for good dreams requiring red and blue candles. Nemu asks where she heard about it and Ui isn&#039;t sure but says it was in 15th-century France. Nemu is fascinated and promises to research it. Later, Ui scrolls through her phone and finds a photo she doesn&#039;t recognize with girls she doesn&#039;t know. She begins crying without understanding why and Iroha finds her and hugs her tightly. Suddenly Ui remembers Darc&#039;s final words. She turns to her sister and tells her, &amp;quot;Let&#039;s have a wonderful future together.&amp;quot; Iroha agrees. Ui calms down and heads home to prepare for a slumber party with Nemu and Touka. Iroha, running errands, decides to stop by Mitama&#039;s place afterward. Mitama greets her warmly, mentioning she just learned an interesting little charm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That day, Iroha visits Mitama, who gives her and Yachiyo antique candles for a sweet dream spell. That night, they light the candles and drift off to sleep together, where they&#039;re pulled into the nightmare of Jeanne d&#039;Arc in April 29th, 1429.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Maiden of Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next morning, Yachiyo reveals she had the same dream. They call Mitama, who is surprised they had nightmares instead of sweet dreams. They decide to try the candles again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Kamihama plunged into darkness and all non-Magical Girls vanished. Their Soul Gems have consumed magic in the real world despite no injuries. Realizing the dream affects reality, they decide to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a lot of fighting, they awaken and prepare for the final battle. In this journey they discover that they&#039;d been traveling to Darc&#039;s dream, and if Darc despairs completely, she will turn into a Witch and trigger a catastrophe affecting the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Felicia and Sana gone and Kamihama empty. Breaking into Mitama&#039;s shop, they find a grimoire revealing the candles were made with Darc&#039;s hair, creating a connection to her dream. They return with the book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They finally awaken at Mikazuki Villa to sunshine and normalcy. Felicia demands steak for dinner. Consulting a history book, they read that on May 7th, 1429, Jeanne d&#039;Arc fought at Tourelles after waking from a dream. The battle was fierce but Orléans was liberated. Iroha notices a portrait in the book showing them in their Magical Girl outfits standing beside Jeanne d&#039;Arc.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at Mitama&#039;s shop, Yachiyo recounts everything. Mitama mentions the spell became widespread in France during Jeanne d&#039;Arc&#039;s era. Iroha realizes Melissa must have spread it after learning it from them in the dream. The use of red and blue candles was too specific to be coincidence. Iroha&#039;s head spins trying to figure out where the spell originated. Yachiyo notes the grimoire never mentioned the candle setup, so the spell just circled around and around. They will never know for certain whether they changed history or were always part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* During their slumber party, Ui, Touka, and Nemu encounter a massive witch, [[Crépuscule de La Reine]]. Touka and Nemu vanish, leaving Ui and Sakurako to face it alone. The witch is unaffected by their attacks and disappears, taking Ui with it into 15th-century France once more, this time in the realm of Purgatory which Minou created. With Pernelle&#039;s help, Ui is soon able to also summon Iroha and Yachiyo there as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;endofalegendthelimitsoflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - End of a Legend, the Limits of Light]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha, Yachiyo, Ui, and Sakurako pass through the gates and return to their future, reuniting with Touka and Nemu as their memories fade.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;endofalegendthelimitsoflight&#039;/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Lil&#039; Kyubey and Ui&#039;s phone as the Blank Prophecy are pulled as &amp;quot;If Factors&amp;quot; into the world of Holy Maiden Academy, which Minou created and maintained for six hundred years after being given a Philosopher&#039;s Stone after Isabeau&#039;s death. However, after her plans are thwarted by the &amp;quot;what if&amp;quot; version of Melissa, he returns and wakes in the real world, where Iroha and Ui assure him it was just a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;counc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Masked Student Council Strikes Back]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Voices from Beyond, Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a year after Voices from Beyond, Part 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With peace restored in Kamihama, Yachiyo visits a flower shop to buy flowers for Mel&#039;s grave, still haunted by never defeating Mel&#039;s Witch. She unexpectedly encounters Mifuyu and Mel&#039;s mother, who reassures them Mel was happy because of their love. Walking toward the cemetery, Yachiyo and Mifuyu are engulfed by the barrier of the Witch Etteilla—Mel&#039;s Witch. They struggle against both the Witch and their own fears: Mifuyu fears defeating it means forgetting Mel, while Yachiyo fears losing anyone else. Remembering the ghosts&#039; encouragement, Yachiyo convinces Mifuyu they must move forward because Mel and Kanae wanted them to. They defeat the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mel&#039;s grave, they place flowers and the Grief Seed from the Witch, hoping her soul has finally found peace. They silently promise to keep moving forward. Mifuyu wonders if Mel&#039;s Witch appeared to give them a push, and they smile, repeating Mel&#039;s favorite phrase: all things happen when they must. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to see the belongings Mel and Kanae left behind, and Mifuyu gladly accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One weekend, Rui ropes Seira into attending Kamiket, a convention for sharing and selling fan-made media in Kamihama. The two became close friends after discovering they are both Magical Girls, and because Seira is the only one who knows about Rui&#039;s embarrassing secret: a heavy case of chuuni-byo. Rui agreed to bring Seira on the condition that only the two of them would go, ensuring nobody else discovered her secret.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the day of the convention, Rui cannot contain her excitement and slips into character, declaring the convention her sanctuary and the catalog guidebook as Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Her main objective is to purchase the newest installment of her favorite indie game series and meet its creator, MacQueen. On the way to the booth, she accidentally bumps into a stranger who seems irritated about someone not being at the convention yet. When she arrives, the booth attendants inform her that someone has been using counterfeit money, and worse, MacQueen himself is missing. Rui&#039;s imagination immediately conjures a grand conspiracy, but the criminal is soon caught and MacQueen calls to say he overslept. Relieved, Rui takes a photo with the booth girls, but as the picture is taken, chills run down her spine as she senses someone glaring at her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rui dismisses it as her imagination and continues exploring with Seira. Remembering the booth numbers hit by counterfeit money, she realizes they spell the chemical formula for Ricin, a lethal poison. Her imagination ignites again, convincing her that the real attack will come through poisoned food from outside vendors. She rushes them outside to stop the attack, but everyone seems fine, and her Magical Girl ability, which lets her see how close someone is to death, reveals nobody is in danger. Ashamed, she realizes her imagination finally got the best of her and apologizes to Seira. They decide to get lunch, and Rui opens her laptop to install her new game. The screen is black, and in the reflection she sees her own face. Her magic reveals she herself is now close to death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Remembering the chills from earlier, Rui checks the photo and finds the man from earlier glaring at her in the background. She rushes back to the booth to warn the girls, who recognize the man as Miranda, a popular content creator. As they discuss this, MacQueen finally arrives, and Rui sees he is the closest to death&#039;s door, with Miranda also marked. She confronts Miranda, who confesses he intended to kill MacQueen over an alternate ending in the latest game that suggested his favorite sub-heroine may have had a former lover. He pulls out a gun he secretly printed with a smuggled 3D printer. Just as he is about to shoot, Rui shows him a cutscene on her laptop, which is the second part of the alternate ending, unlocked only after clearing the entire game, revealing the sub-heroine fabricated the story to protect the user character. Miranda realizes his mistake and surrenders to security. After the incident, Seira asks if Rui was scared. Rui reveals she always wears chainmail under her clothes and also carried a heavy blunt object for protection, the magically enhanced Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Seira decides to pretend she did not hear that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 11:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura writes in her diary as she and her friends take an air-conditioned express train to the beach for summer vacation. They buy ice cream and enjoy the ride.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Beachside Bonds]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls arrive at their destination, a seaside inn run by Sayaka&#039;s relatives who had a sudden cancellation. Sayaka complains about the heat as they walk to the inn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Sayaka&#039;s aunt shows them to their rooms and warns them not to get lost in the surrounding forest. Outside, two young girls who live at the inn approach Madoka. They ask if she knows someone named Kei, who is looking for someone named Yu. They warn Madoka not to talk to Kei and that she should hold still if Kei enters her room. The girls then leave. Homura suggests Kei might be a cat. They agree to tell the others as Kyoko passes by already in her swimsuit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, the girls play volleyball. Mami spikes the ball hard and hits Homura in the face. They stop the game and Mami frets over Homura. Madoka suggests they rest in the shade while Mami buys something cold. Madoka then suggests they collect pine cones from nearby trees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the forest, a cat appears and leads them deeper into the trees. It guides them to a small shrine, where Homura finds an old notebook. She reads entries from April 20, June 24, August 3, and August 6, all detailing the author&#039;s complicated feelings for someone named Kei. Madoka tells her to put it back without reading further. When they turn around, the cat is gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the beach, Sayaka shares a rumor from the beach house: a girl fell off a nearby cliff years ago and died, and her spirit is reportedly seen rising from the ocean between two and three a.m. Mami shrieks in fear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Kyoko teases Mami about being scared. The conversation turns to ghosts and Kyoko compares them to how normal people might perceive Witches. Madoka feels relieved and tells Sayaka about the twin girls. Sayaka plans to ask them about any pets later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After an Italian dinner, the girls light fireworks on the beach. Kyoko bumps into Hinano Miyako, who doesn&#039;t recognize her but does recognize her Soul Gem ring. Ren Isuzu finds Hinano, followed by Emiri Kisaki and Rika Ayano. The groups combine for fireworks. Emiri admits she used a little magic to help everyone relax, explaining why Kyoko had strange memories of Mami. Kyoko chases Sayaka around the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Heading back to the inn, Sayaka finds her twin cousins lining up stones. They claim the stones protect against Kei entering. They say Kei would hate Sayaka the most because she is nosy, then leave. In her diary, Homura writes that the girls talked until they all fell asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 12&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura&#039;s diary entry describes a dream belonging to someone else. In the dream, the narrator waits for her friend Yusa Yumeno, who arrives with popsicles. The narrator complains that Yusa doesn&#039;t need to come every day, but Yusa insists she can only be her real self around her friend. The narrator believes identity is shaped by others&#039; perceptions. She reveals she may not take college exams due to family obligations and urges Yusa to attend her chosen school, comparing herself to a weed and Yusa to a flower growing in a different direction. The narrator comes home to another hateful letter from classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes in a cold sweat, unable to move. The room smells strongly of seaweed. She sees a pitch-black human shadow sitting between Mami and Sayaka&#039;s futons. It examines their faces, grumbling &amp;quot;wrong, wrong, all wrong.&amp;quot; As it moves toward Madoka, Homura struggles to move. The shadow stops and stares at her, asking &amp;quot;You can see me?&amp;quot; Homura screams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others wake. Sayaka notices the strange smell. Kyoko goes back to sleep. Mami offers water and Homura asks if someone entered the room. They saw no one. Sayaka apologizes for the scary stories. Mami suggests thinking about tomorrow&#039;s fun. Madoka offers to hold Homura&#039;s hand, which she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes early, the ocean scent still strong. She finds the twin girls outside. They ask if she met Kei. Homura asks what Kei is. The girls explain Kei looks like a human made of shadow without facial features, smells of the sea, and emerges from the ocean at night to look for her friend Yu. They repeat that she should do nothing and never talk to her. They notice their protective stones scattered and go to reline them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura suspects this might be a Rumor. She returns to the forest shrine and finds the notebook on the shrine&#039;s lattice door, despite having placed it underneath. She reads entries from May 2, May 20, June 12, and June 26, all detailing the author Yu&#039;s complicated, obsessive feelings for Kei. She replaces the notebook, feeling guilty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Homura recalls more diary entries: July 2 describes Yu placing hands on Kei&#039;s neck as if to strangle her; July 5 compares Kei&#039;s neck to a lizard she killed; July 15 describes Kei now finding Yu after school; July 20 states they should never have met and that both wear bandages to hide bruises on their necks. Madoka points out a small bruise on Homura&#039;s neck.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls begin walking to an aquarium along the coast. Kyoko complains about the distance and suggests fishing instead. Sayaka refuses, traumatized by a recent fishing tournament incident in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the aquarium, they eat fish burgers, marvel at jellyfish, and watch a dolphin and seal show. They leave at sunset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls walk to a cape to watch the sunset. Sayaka warns them not to get too close to the edge, referencing the girl who died. Homura smells flowers and Mami identifies night-blooming jasmine nearby. The scent reminds Homura of her dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recalls another diary entry: August 1 describes Yu feeling happy hearing Kei&#039;s wish despite blaming herself; August 12 states their plan is set for tomorrow, with Yu hoping something will make Kei reconsider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the cape, Kyoko admits feeling down because a cape is the end of the road with nothing after. Mami says it&#039;s more important they could talk again like they used to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary about the difference between the self you know and the self others perceive. She asks Madoka what kind of person she thinks Homura is. Madoka calls her a dear friend who works hard. Homura worries that revealing her time-traveling truth would change this perception. After dinner, the girls settle in for sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 13:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura dreams again of Kei and Yu. Kei calls out that the promised day is here. She has dressed up and brought a ribbon to tie them together. Yu questions if this is right. Kei insists her life belongs only to Yu. They vow: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; They promise to kill each other for every reincarnation as proof of who they are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A voice calls Homura to wake. She awakens to find Madoka standing with eyes closed, enveloped in shadow. Madoka snaps her eyes open and proclaims repeatedly &amp;quot;I got in.&amp;quot; She calls out for Yu, saying the promised day is finally here. Madoka runs into the forest toward the cliff. Homura chases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the cape, everything grows dark. Madoka, possessed by Kei&#039;s spirit, tells Homura that the drowned Chinese girl&#039;s body washed up here and she is looking for her father&#039;s ship. Homura urges her to chase after the girl to escape, but Kei claims Homura will kill her as soon as they leave. Homura transforms and attempts to freeze time but finds her magic has no effect in this place where time does not flow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren&#039;s voice calls out. She informs Homura that the others are searching for them, but only Ren could traverse into this abyss. Ren suggests this might be similar to her own magic rather than a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kei admits she tried possessing Homura but could not, so she settled for Madoka. She explains she is a faint memory staining the cliffside. The drowned girl&#039;s spirit helped her recall all her memories clearly. She describes how she and Yu bound themselves together and jumped into the ocean, but the waves pulled them apart. Kei died; Yu survived. Kei wants to kill Yu so they can kill each other throughout eternity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura refuses to stay in the abyss with Madoka. Kei transforms Madoka into her magical girl state and attacks. Ren blocks the blow and tries to use her magic to draw out the possession. Homura calls out the vow Kei and Yu made, distracting Kei. Ren attempts her magic but the ghost of the drowned Chinese girl deflects it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren realizes the ghost girl is not a girl but the root cause: the Witch Paola. The barrier forms and Homura fights the Witch alone while Ren hurries to catch up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier dissipates and Homura faces the possessed Madoka on the cape. Kei accuses Homura of killing her. Homura tells her to shut up and leave their lives alone. Kei explains she will soon fade if Yu is not there. She begs Homura to kill Yu if she ever meets her, before her soul breaks and she becomes like the Witch. She begs Homura to keep this promise no matter where they meet or how many worlds Homura visits. Kei then relinquishes Madoka&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren arrives, relieved they are safe. Madoka wakes with no memory, thinking she simply tossed and turned. The other girls find them and celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary, describing the events as too strange to comprehend. She reflects on Kyubey&#039;s use of the term &amp;quot;soul&amp;quot; and questions what a soul truly is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka sighs that even on vacation they dealt with a Witch. Kyoko thinks she&#039;s getting rusty. Mami suggests Homura was right about a Witch mixing with a Rumor. Madoka telepathically tells them to quiet down since Homura is asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her final dream, Homura sees Yu wake in a hospital on an unknown date. Kei died. Their bruises were dismissed. Yu returned to school where others used her grief as their own. Unable to bear going on without Kei, she nearly threw herself off the cliff again. All she holds onto is their final words: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; But if the Yu that died that day is gone, who is the girl writing now? An image of Kyubey flashes on the screen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Deep in the dream, Homura recalls Kei&#039;s plea on the cliff. But Homura never agreed or promised anything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summer Treasures===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko wakes to find Mitama and Ui standing over her, learning they were washed ashore and rescue will arrive in two days. Mitama assigns tasks: shelter, bamboo, water, plants, and fishing. Before Kyoko leaves, Mitama asks her to transform, revealing she adjusted Kyoko&#039;s Soul Gem while she was unconscious to give her a Magical Girl swimsuit that allows her to swim. Mitama promises the transformation is reversible but looks forlorn, warning that if Kyoko does not have fun on the island, she might forget how to undo it. Kyoko reluctantly agrees to cooperate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer Treasures]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko discovers she can swim and catches plenty of fish. While gathering firewood, she finds a piece of wood with the words &amp;quot;water&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;bottom&amp;quot; written on it and tosses it onto the pile. Back at camp, Mitama and Karin show her a treasure map they found. Mitama has built a large shelter, and Karin started a fire using skills from a manga. Kyoko helps Kanagi and Ui carry supplies back from the stream. When Mitama offers to cook, Kyoko and Kanagi immediately stop her. Kyoko distracts Mitama with the treasure map and cooks dinner instead, with Ui&#039;s help. The group enjoys the meal together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 2 on the deserted island and Mitama decides they will go treasure hunting. The group examines the map and the wooden tablet Kyoko unknowingly gathered for firewood, which tells of a fallen warrior&#039;s treasure hidden on the island. They follow directions to a clearing but find nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui falls into a pitfall, and Karin follows. Kyoko pulls them out with a vine, and they discover another tablet at the bottom. Kyoko realizes the piece of wood she threw into the campfire was likely one of the tablets, but she keeps quiet, hoping to make the group give up without upsetting Mitama. Mitama triggers a trap and is caught hanging from a tree. The group frees her, but everyone wants to continue despite Kyoko&#039;s warnings. Kyoko claims they are being followed, hoping to blame the missing tablet on someone else, but the stalker turns out to be a tabby kitten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group reaches a damaged clue they cannot read. Mitama deduces the final location is the waterfall, but they find nothing. Mitama stares at Kyoko, suggesting the tablet might have been lost. Kyoko panics internally. She blasts part of the riverbed, revealing a hidden underwater path she remembered from the burned tablet&#039;s words. Kanagi scouts and reports a cave at the end. Karin and Ui stay behind while Kyoko, Mitama, and Kanagi swim through using guide vines.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the cave, they endure swarms of mosquitoes until Mitama drives them away. At the back, they find a treasure box. Kyoko opens it carefully. Inside is a letter revealing the treasure hunt was a promotional stunt for the Sayu-Sayu Mizuna Tourism Project, abandoned due to mosquitoes and safety concerns. They left a paper with Sayu-Sayu&#039;s sword designs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko hides the truth and leads the group to a cliff with a stunning sunset view. Everyone agrees it is a rare treasure. Kyoko admits she burned one of the tablets for firewood. Mitama apologizes for pressuring her and promises to change her back. The group returns late at night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, the helicopter arrives. Iroha calls down to them. As they prepare to leave, the kitten runs off, and the group chases it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few weeks later. Sayuki, Ria, Mayu, her manager, and producer arrive on the same island to film a special. They find the bamboo house and campfire remains. The kitten appears, followed by Kyoko chasing it. Ui and Karin catch up, and Karin recognizes Sayuki as Sayu-Sayu. Kyoko realizes this is the idol behind the fake treasure hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Kanagi, and Iroha arrive. Sayuki greets Mitama warmly. Telepathically, Kyoko warns Mitama about Sayuki&#039;s connection to the treasure hunt. Mitama cryptically tells her to leave it. Karin and Ui want to stay and watch the filming. Sayuki offers to let them return on her boat. She explains her special involves a survival quiz using the Kaigiri sword. Ui and Karin are excited. Mitama and Kyoko exchange a look, hoping to preserve Ui&#039;s good memories without revealing the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Filming begins. They cheer from the sidelines. Later, they all pile onto the boat together, many exhausted and falling asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Late July before summer vacation, Ui and Sakurako go shopping. Ui buys a picture diary and mentions wanting to swim with fish in a place like the Dragon Palace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Sakurako consults Ryo, then works with Touka, Nemu, Ryo, and Ikumi to build the Uwasa Aquarium, Dragon Palace within her Rumor, incorporating elements for everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the aquarium event, Touka and Nemu guide Iroha, Ui, Yachiyo, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia to the space. Everyone enjoys swimming, themed attractions, and food tailored to their interests. Sakurako warns them never to open the Treasure Casket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia opens the box, releasing a malice entity that takes Sakura&#039;s form. Normal attacks fail. The group cheers, empowering Sakurako to destroy it. Ryo reveals they planned this interactive show.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end, Sakurako creates cherry blossom petals despite being told not to overexert herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sakurako wakes in Iroha&#039;s room after collapsing from magic overexertion. Nemu and Touka explain Uwasa can die. Ui tearfully asks her to take better care. Sakurako promises to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Iroha suggests a beach trip. Touka, Nemu, and Ui enthusiastically plan it. Sakurako notices the aquarium has been forgotten in their conversation and grows quiet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day Sakurako returns to the empty aquarium. Reflecting on Nemu&#039;s words, she spirals into fear that she will die, be forgotten, and disappear. She hides.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha searches for her. Ryo and Ikumi arrive later. Ryo senses she is there and uses a tactic, claiming he will stop looking and eventually forget her. Sakurako emerges crying, begging not to be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo shows her Ui&#039;s picture diary, which dedicates many pages to the aquarium day. Sakurako realizes memories are what she can leave behind and agrees to return home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Sakurako returns and explains she now understands that as long as memories remain, she will not be forgotten. She asks to host the aquarium again for more Magical Girls. With promises to monitor her health and using Shizuku&#039;s teleportation to hide the location, the others agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, various Magical Girls arrive and enjoy the aquarium. Rena notices the Treasure Casket. Sakurako explains it contains stored memories she hopes someone will vividly recall when she is gone, so she will not be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kamihama in a Circle===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren arrive in a new ward, with Rika frustrated about oversleeping. They notice another Magical Girl nearby. Elsewhere, Konomi arrives alone while Kako declines to participate due to her team&#039;s policy. Manaka scolds Ria for being late because of her hair. Masara, Kokoro, and Aimi gather at a park, with Kokoro convincing Masara to participate. Reira, Mito, and Seika discuss the upcoming gathering of Magical Girls who have fought together before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Kamihama in a Circle]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo finish chores that had been delayed by Felicia&#039;s laundry mishap. They reflect on everything that has happened since Iroha came to Kamihama searching for Ui—the investigations, battles with the Wings of Magius, the automatic purification system, and the truth about Witches spreading. Despite the chaos, things have begun to settle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo rush to the park, worried about being late. Tsuruno meets them and playfully scolds them before carrying them the rest of the way. Iroha reflects on meeting Tsuruno while investigating Uwasas, and how their bonds grew stronger through battling together. She notes that everyone at Mikazuki Villa has decided to support one another.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group stops at a convenience store. Felicia appears, having visited Ayame first. Konoha and Hazuki are not coming to the gathering, but Yachiyo notes they have helped in the past. Felicia asks for chocolate. Iroha reflects on first meeting Felicia when she was a violent mercenary, and how living together has changed them both. She notes that Yachiyo has cared for Felicia more than anyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group takes a shortcut through a back alley. They find Sana hiding, having spotted Kaede&#039;s cat Gorojiro. Sana explains she was patrolling for dangerous Magical Girls while staying hidden. Iroha thanks her but assures her she can relax today. They invite her to join them. Iroha reflects on sympathizing with Sana&#039;s isolation and how Mikazuki Villa became an important place for them all. Yachiyo notes that Sana, once invisible to everyone but Magical Girls, is gradually finding her place in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui, Touka, and Nemu meet the group. They have visited their old hospital to update the doctors and nurses who cared for them. Touka discusses her research on connecting universes, admitting practical application remains difficult but the possibility exists. Iroha reflects on how it still feels like a dream to see the three of them together. Yachiyo notes that while their past methods were wrong, their purpose of liberating Magical Girls was not, and that purpose continues now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, Rena, and Kaede join them, having stopped at a retro arcade where they won a stuffed animal together despite their usual arguing. Touka reveals a small possibility for connecting universes has been found, using the Endless Mirrors. Iroha reflects on first meeting Momoko and Kaede, and now sharing lunches with Rena. Yachiyo notes the three have strong bonds as a team and helped convince other Magical Girls after the truth about witches spread.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama joins, having taken a break from her shop to visit Kanagi. Tsuruno asks about using Mirrors to connect to other universes. Mitama confirms she and Kanagi have accompanied Touka and Nemu into the Mirrors. Nemu explains they were only experimenting with precautions. Touka insists she has plans if things go wrong. Mitama notes Mirrors has become more complex and will need more entrances. Iroha reflects on meeting Kanagi relatively recently and how they now work together despite past rivalry. She also thinks of Mitama&#039;s help and her surprising wish, but notes the city is moving forward. She wants to hold hands with more people and form a circle together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** From a distance, Iroha and Yachiyo watch Magical Girls gathering at the park. Felicia attempts to cure Iroha&#039;s nerves by hitting her, claiming Tsuruno said it would help. Tsuruno quickly corrects her. Hinano arrives, reporting on her task regarding Alina. Karin, who attends school with Alina, explains Alina is still missing and she does not know where she is. Iroha promises they will find her together. Mifuyu arrives with the Amane twins, apologizing for being late. Yachiyo thanks Mifuyu. Iroha reflects that a new step is beginning. Yachiyo notes her story started moving when Mifuyu disappeared, while Iroha&#039;s began with strange dreams. They have connected with so many Magical Girls. One chapter has ended and a new one is about to begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha addresses the gathered Magical Girls, thanking them for coming. She reflects on fighting together against powerful Witches and sharing knowledge about their fate. Yachiyo notes they started from individual concerns, fought Uwasas and the Wings of Magius, and gained something greater in return. Their purpose is now the same as their former enemies: the liberation of Magical Girls. They seek coexistence with Kyubey without sacrificing themselves. Iroha acknowledges not everyone could participate, but all have agreed to help each other. Yachiyo admits skepticism is natural. Iroha declares that by expanding the automatic purification system across Kamihama, they can welcome liberation and coexist with Kyubey. Yachiyo announces they will work together under a new name starting today.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha begins to declare their new name but is interrupted by a flash of light. Wings appear on her back, and Yachiyo also grows wings. Feathers fall across the park. Yachiyo recalls this phenomenon helped them against Walpurgisnacht. Iroha wonders if it is a blessing upon the Magical Girls of Kamihama holding hands. With this blessing, they declare again that the Magical Girls gathered here are allies who will support each other in hardship. They declare themselves the Kamihama Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the establishment of the Kamihama Magia Union, a celebration is held at Walnut&#039;s. During the party, Manaka receives a phone call and panics, announcing that Nemu has been kidnapped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A New Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group splits up to search nearby areas but finds nothing. Hinano eventually discovers Nemu held hostage by Black and White Feathers from outside Kamihama. Using Ryo and Ikumi to infiltrate, their cover is blown and they are surrounded. Sakurako jumps in to defend them as Iroha arrives with reinforcements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The lead Feather explains they kidnapped Nemu to convince the Magius to lead them again, as they do not know how to achieve liberation on their own. Iroha explains the Kamihama girls share their goals but reject their methods. Nemu and Touka ask the Feathers to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before they can respond, white feathers rain from the sky again, the same power that helped them defeat Walpurgisnacht returns, but this time it feels uncontrolled and dangerous. Touka explains her experiment partially worked, creating a wormhole to another world, but the interference may crush their world. Kanagi and Mitama fail to disable the device sending the signal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana sneaks Nemu to where the device was stationed, but the labyrinth is gone. Nemu enters the password anyway, but nothing happens. The world shakes and a voice urges them to close the gate. Iroha realizes the power is trying to help, not hurt them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo devises a plan: Ui will absorb the magic built up inside them, Touka will convert it, and Iroha will fire an arrow to close the gate. As the sun sets, they enact the plan and succeed. The feathers stop falling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks the Feathers to reconsider joining them. The lead Feather admits her stubbornness and rage, and Nemu and Touka apologize. The Feathers accept, becoming the first recruits to the union on the day it was established.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Late that night, the group gathers outside Walnut&#039;s. They discuss the voice they heard and the power from another universe. Touka throws a tantrum over everyone calling her experiment a failure, and her stress causes her to unleash her Doppel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, a mysterious magical girl observes and turns to report back to the Tokime Tribe. In another place, a different magical girl also observes and decides to report her findings. In a different location, Kagome Satori has found Iroha at last, promising to keep a record of their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tracks of Cherry Blossoms===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako reflects on her nature as an Uwasa created by Iroha and Nemu. Though her duty to bloom when the four girls reunited is now fulfilled, she continues attending school as Sakurako Hiiragi. When Ryo comments that she is like a god who will never change, Sakurako questions other Uwasa and learns from the Anonymous AI that they act according to their Rumor forever, never stopping and never changing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later during a Kamihama Magia Union meeting, Iroha proposes a cherry blossom viewing to help members connect. Touka objects to using the Eternal Sakura, wanting to preserve it as a secret shelter. Tsuruno suggests Sankyo&#039;s famous cherry blossom viewing spot instead. Touka challenges Sakurako to visit the Sankyo tree and judge its worthiness herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako visits the Sankyo cherry tree. While observing it, she meets an elderly man who has appreciated the tree for decades. He explains the tree has watched over people for over eighty years, since before the war. Sakurako realizes this tree has lived far longer than her zero-year existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at school, Hinano and Ryo find Sakurako still fixated on the tree. Ryo shares what she knows: the tree served as a disaster shelter in the Meiji era, and famous restaurants once served food there for foreign cherry blossom viewers. After school, Sakurako returns to the tree. The elderly man and his wife visit again. The wife gives her cherry blossom-scented cookies, and the man gives her a hand warmer. A girl jogging past stops to pray at the tree, explaining she sees it as a sacred place before tournaments.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako continues visiting. Manaka and Tsumugi stop by, and Sakurako gives them the cookies she cannot eat. Sakurako reflects on how this tree has watched over thousands of people for over a century while she was created to watch only four girls. She realizes for the first time that time is passing around her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later at Mikazuki Villa, Sakurako observes the four girls and Ui talking about her teacher. Sakurako concludes the Sankyo tree is worthy of hosting the cherry blossom viewing. She decides she needs to practice making it bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over the following days, Sakurako continues visiting the tree, growing closer to the elderly couple. She forgets about practicing blooming, more interested in talking with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the elderly man announces he will be hospitalized and they can no longer walk together. The woman explains she must care for him. The man reveals they kept walking because seeing Sakurako brought back fond memories of their belief in meeting a sakura spirit. Sakurako is left standing alone, realizing their time together has ended.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at the tree, Sakurako encounters the jogging disciple, who explains she is moving away and will soon leave the dojo. She then encounters Ui&#039;s teacher, who reveals she is being transferred to another school. Sakurako realizes that by the time the cherry blossoms bloom, all these people will be gone. She feels pain and fears that Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu will eventually disappear too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Ryo observes Sakurako&#039;s deteriorating state. A neighbor of the elderly couple approaches Sakurako and informs her there has been a passing in the family. Hinano later explains this means someone has died. Sakurako disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako asks Iroha and Yachiyo what to do when someone dies. Yachiyo explains about funerals and sending flowers as a last gift. Sakurako returns to the Sankyo tree and, using her power, makes it bloom for the first time, sending cherry blossoms into the sky for the grandfather. But she still aches from not saying goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and other Uwasa grow concerned, having heard rumors that when Sakurako makes cherry blossoms bloom, someone disappears. Sakurako concludes that if she lets the cherry blossoms bloom, the four girls might disappear. When Iroha confirms the cherry blossom viewing plans, Sakurako announces she will not let the tree bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo publishes the full Tracks of Cherry Blossoms article, detailing Sakurako&#039;s experiences. The girls read it and understand her association between blooming and parting. Yachiyo suggests teaching her that spring also brings new encounters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the picnic arrives. Iroha invites Sakurako, assuring her she does not need to make the tree bloom. Sakurako agrees to attend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the picnic, Asuka&#039;s disciple appears, explaining she came to let Sakurako know she is not sad about leaving. Ui&#039;s teacher arrives and tells Ui that her care will be passed on to the next teacher. Manaka debuts a new cherry blossom dessert, continuing the tradition in new form. Sakurako begins to understand that farewells are not always sad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the picnic, Sakurako remains at the tree. She admits she still cannot bring herself to make it bloom. Yachiyo tells her that wanting to see the couple again proves she has a heart. Sakurako despairs that Uwasa simply cease to exist. She buys one of Manaka&#039;s new desserts, hoping to give it to them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako waits at the tree daily, carrying the dessert. Rumors spread about the girl under the sakura tree. The girls grow concerned. Nemu warns that if Sakurako does not accept reality, she may destroy herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the time expires, the elderly couple suddenly appears. The grandfather was never dead. The passing was a relative. They had been away helping their daughter with a new baby. The woman explains they named their granddaughter Sakurako. Sakurako gives them the dessert and explains she now understands that encounters and goodbyes take many forms. She says she will not come regularly anymore but is grateful for their time together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo gives Sakurako a photograph of her with the elderly couple. Sakurako thanks her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Historical Research Club at Kosho School consists of three Magical Girls: president Mikura Komachi, her childhood friend Temari Kira, and underclassman Seira Mihono. When the club advisor informs them that without proof of accomplishments, next year&#039;s budget will not be approved, the trio decides to create a film based on a real Kamihama tragedy for the cultural festival. Mikura discovers a Taishō-era story about a romance between a disgraced Mizuna daughter named Ruri and a successful East-side businessman named Tsukihiko that ended in murder-suicide. Temari writes the script while Seira secures a Western mansion as a filming location. While scouting, they encounter a Witch and realize casting regular students would be impossible due to Magical Girl duties, so they use Coordinator Mitama Yakumo to recruit an all-Magical Girl cast including Ria Ami, Yukika Nanase, the Amane sisters, and Sakurako, an Uwasa created by Nemu Hiiragi. Mikura reluctantly agrees to play the male lead Tsukihiko, while Seira takes the role of Ruri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Filming begins at the actual mansion where the tragedy occurred, with Seira using her stage direction magic to create effects and the cast delivering startlingly accurate performances. Mikura discovers Tsukihiko&#039;s actual diary in the museum archives, revealing he genuinely loved Ruri and intended to break things off with his childhood friend. Temari secretly revises the ending to reflect this truth, working through the night until her Soul Gem tarnishes. Mikura cleanses her gem, and they lock the revised script away, keeping it hidden from Seira to make her performance more authentic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After filming wraps, strange rumors spread that the Historical Research Club is forming a new faction, and the affected Magical Girls begin acting as if possessed by their roles. This escalates when Kanagi Izumi and Yachiyo Nanami nearly fight over a perceived slight involving Riko. At Mitama&#039;s shop, Nemu Hiiragi explains the truth: Seira&#039;s stage direction magic immersed the cast, Mikura&#039;s magic, which restores lost things, reconstructed the historical personalities in the present, and Temari&#039;s kotodama magic caused them to follow her script. Their powers synergized to create a dangerously accurate reenactment. Nemu warns that the script&#039;s next events—Ruri&#039;s disappearance and the murder-suicide—may occur, and they realize Seira, possessed by Ruri, has vanished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Temari consults Kyubey, who reveals Ruri was a Magical Girl with the same kotodama magic who wished to live a storybook romance. When she realized her own novel&#039;s plot was manifesting as tragedy, she destroyed the manuscript to save Tsukihiko, but the act shattered her mind. Freed from the script&#039;s constraints, the couple&#039;s fate became unpredictable, and Ruri, unable to bear the fear of losing him, killed him and herself. Kyubey explains destroying the script will end the magic but damage Temari&#039;s psyche. Temari resolves to protect her friends without resorting to that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Seira, still possessed as Ruri, steals the diary copy and flees to Tsukihiko&#039;s mansion. Mikura and Temari pursue. At the mansion, Ruri prepares to atone by dying by her own hand. Mikura, wearing Tsukihiko&#039;s costume, dances with her as Tsukihiko&#039;s persona surfaces, steadying her. When Ruri moves to stab herself, Temari summons the others for backup, and they disarm her. Tsukihiko explains he could not stop her a century ago but succeeded this time. He and Ruri thank Temari—her script reached the hearts it was meant to—and they vanish. A fire destroys the original diary and all related documents, fulfilling Ruri&#039;s final wish to be forgotten. Mikura and Seira retain only fragments of the true story and agree to keep the tragedy of the two maladroit lovers a secret between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the club room, Seira panics that without evidence of their film, the Historical Research Club will be disbanded. They consider another project but have time until the cultural festival. Temari suggests they each find a home where they can rest easy, and Mikura replies she has already found hers: this provisional club room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ayaka and Shizuku are at a local café when Ayaka laments that many Halloween events in Kamihama were canceled due to damage in Chuo Ward. Wanting to do something to cheer up the city, Ayaka&#039;s eyes sparkle as Shizuku suggests she organize something herself, leading Ayaka to decide on a live comedy show. She asks Shizuku to be her partner, but Shizuku is unsure about the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ayaka meets Seika at her apartment, and Seika is happy to be Ayaka&#039;s comedy partner but asks about the logistics of broadcasting the show. Ayaka brushes off the practical concerns, insisting that the desire to make others smile is what truly matters, and Seika rises to the challenge, wanting to give back after years of Ayaka&#039;s comedy encouraging her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Ayaka and Seika form a manzai duo and practice daily into the evening, with Ayaka tutoring Seika on speaking louder and explaining the rhythm between the boke and tsukkomi roles. Seika struggles but keeps trying, at one point asking if she can use a whip against Ayaka, causing Shizuku to shake her head, but Ayaka insists manzai does not use props.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During one practice session, Shizuku chuckles at their serious expressions, and Ayaka decides she needs a fresh audience, spotting someone passing by and running off with Seika to practice on him. Shizuku watches them go, thinking she would have liked to help, but then hears a shout and goes to investigate, discovering the stranger is actually a spokesperson for a local sweets retailer who is also in charge of the annual Halloween event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The spokesperson explains he had wanted to take the event public since few companies are participating this year, and he thinks Ayaka&#039;s manzai would be perfect, inviting them to perform. Ayaka cannot stop smiling at the opportunity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the Halloween event, Ayaka is excited and Shizuku compliments her costume as they wait, but Ayaka mentions Seika has not arrived. Seika calls weakly to explain she has a fever and will be late, and Ayaka tells her to rest and focus on getting better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Shizuku asks what Ayaka will do about the manzai, Ayaka puts a hand on her shoulder and asks Shizuku to be her partner. Shizuku is reluctant to stand on stage but gives in after Ayaka repeatedly begs, and having watched countless practices, she memorized the skit, so they head to the stage together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Backstage, Seika managed to make it there to congratulate them, and Ayaka tells her she should be resting. Shizuku did not see anyone laughing but hopes someone passing by might have smiled, and since Ayaka looks happy, she decides not to mention it. Seika apologizes for missing the show, and Ayaka says it was thanks to Shizuku, who warns she will not do something like that again. Ayaka smiles and says comedy must be amazing if Shizuku was willing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral===&lt;br /&gt;
* The core members of the Kamihama Magia Union gather to plan a Halloween party, with Karin suggesting the event and Mitama offering her adjuster shop as the venue. Kanagi feels unsettled by the theme of the dead returning but dismisses her unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the performance, Momoko arrives late to rehearsal at Mitama&#039;s shop and finds herself in a strange castle filled with unfamiliar magic. Yachiyo and Mifuyu act strangely, singing about making sugar skeletons and insisting Momoko must be bitten by the lord of the castle. Momoko flees and encounters Kanagi, who also attempts to bite her before Momoko realizes she is the lord of the castle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama rescues Momoko, explaining that Kanagi is under a witch&#039;s influence and everyone bitten loses their sanity. Mitama performs an emergency adjustment on Momoko, granting her temporary prayer power to restore those affected. Momoko explores the castle, observing magical girls making sugar skeletons engraved with how they want to be mourned, and encounters deceased magical girls who are manifestations from Kanagi&#039;s memories. Using her prayer power on them causes them to disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko restores several bitten girls and learns from a manifestation of Ryo that the only answer Kanagi needs lies within herself. When Momoko reaches Kanagi, her prayer power fails and Kanagi bites her, pulling Momoko into her memory space. There, Momoko witnesses Kanagi&#039;s memories of loss and grief, realizing Kanagi lacks confidence in how she mourns and has been seeking answers from the dead by asking living friends what they would want.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko confronts Kanagi again, insisting she can mourn in her own way and should accept herself. Kanagi reveals a small parasite on her neck, and together they tear the witch off and defeat it as the castle collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Momoko and Kanagi meet to visit graves together. They ask each other to mourn in their own way if one dies first, then reaffirm their priority is finding a way for everyone to survive before departing together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Angels on the Road===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno travel through a perpetual Christmas world as Reindeer Santas, their motorcycle fueled by smiles. They visit Candy Town, where they meet Riko, Mikage, and Sudachi, and use a magical medal game to multiply candy and bond with the girls before departing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Angels on the Road]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui explains that Little Vacation is a game Touka and Nemu created during their hospital stay, where AI versions of themselves live in a Christmas world. The game evolved on its own after being forgotten, and now Ui and the others can influence their AI counterparts&#039; journey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Santas reach the Village of Meetings and Partings, where three residents live under a curse that maintains their population at exactly three. When one resident vanishes, they discover through a time capsule that departures may be joyful graduations rather than losses. They collect smile-fuel and leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alternatively, they visit Library Town, where diaries manifest people&#039;s memories. They help Nayuta and Lavi discover they have been searching for each other all along, and learn the Wishing Star reset the world and erased everyone&#039;s memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui learns the Wishing Star is actually a bug Touka covered up with lore. Despite this, their AI counterparts continue toward the End of the World, and the girls find themselves rooting for them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mech Junk City, the Santas meet Shigure and learn the world is torus-shaped with a Central Tower beneath the Wishing Star. They help Shigure&#039;s team hijack the tower&#039;s antenna to send a message through the star, and Meguru&#039;s voice reaches Ui&#039;s phone in the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka halts the game world, revealing the AI characters have breached into the real world by accessing the internet through the Wishing Star bug. Ui must decide whether to destroy the game.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui chooses to preserve the game world but cut the connection. Touka modifies the game&#039;s physics to make crossing into the real world theoretically possible but practically impossible, preserving the characters&#039; hope while ensuring safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The in-game characters discover the modification but find a way around it using the medal game from Candy Town to multiply energy cartridges. They launch a coordinated operation across multiple towns to gather enough power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno and Felicia defeat the Security System guardian and reach the Wishing Star. The energy beam disintegrates them into data particles, allowing them to cross the boundary. Felicia recovers her lost memories, and Tsuruno finds satisfaction in reaching the end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Felicia wakes at Mikazuki Villa after staying up late playing the game.

The others are curious, but the girls refuse to explain further.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Christmas String===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu are organizing books in Touka&#039;s hospital room when they discover a mysterious diary that begins glowing. Their consciousnesses are transported to Mizutoku Market Street in December of the previous year. They find themselves incorporeal and transformed into Magical Girls, with Nemu&#039;s legs healed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Christmas String]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December last year, Touka and Nemu witness Tsukasa Amane shopping for gloves. When a discount poster blows away, Tsukasa passes the store without stopping, creating a contradiction with the diary&#039;s account. Touka and Nemu begin to fade. A young girl named Kuu hears their voices and believes they are guardian spirits. They ask her to replace the poster. Tsukasa returns, buys the gloves, and Touka and Nemu rematerialize. They later observe Tsukasa and Tsukuyo exchanging matching gloves, their bond restored.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in December last year, Touka and Nemu arrive in Sakae Ward. Karin Misono drops her sketchbook. A boy named Mii appears and can see them. They ask him to return the sketchbook to Karin, which he does. They learn Mii recently fought with Kuu and advise him to give her a Christmas present.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December 24th of last year, Touka and Nemu arrive at a hotel room where Kuu is with her parents. They learn she is moving to a foreign country in one hour. The diary page is blank, indicating free will. They find Mii at a secondhand bookstore, where he has just purchased &amp;quot;Christmas Bonds&amp;quot; for Kuu. They tell him about the move. Mii convinces his mother to rush to the hotel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At 17:50, Mii arrives moments before Kuu&#039;s bus departs. He gives her the book and the children reconcile and exchange promises to stay in touch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately 30 years later, on Christmas Eve, Touka and Nemu arrive in a future time. A girl greets them as the Christmas guardian spirits. She reveals she is the daughter of Mii and Kuu and made a contract with Kyubey to meet them. They realize her wish created the diary and caused their time slip. The girl asks them to tell her about the day they helped her parents. They share the story. Afterwards, they see images of a happy future but the final page remains blank, meaning the future depends on their own actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On present day late at night, Touka and Nemu wake up in the hospital room. Ui arrives, having visited Alina and Karin. They ask her about buying Christmas cards. Ui is surprised but agrees to take them. The diary ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Sayaka loses a lottery for a violin concert ticket she wanted to give to Kyosuke. Madoka remembers the Kamihama Calligraphy Rally offers a couple&#039;s ticket to the same concert as its grand prize, so Homura insists they enter as a team of three to help Sayaka win.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, on the day of the rally, the team meets at Mizuna Shrine in kimono. They must collect kanji cards from shops across Kamihama using hints, then form a four-kanji congratulatory word and write it as calligraphy. They struggle with the hints initially, meeting Kako, Natsuki, and Ria along the way who help them obtain various kanji, though they frequently misinterpret clues and visit wrong locations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka grows guilty over her indecisiveness and apologizes to Madoka and Homura, but they happily agree to continue working with her. Renewed, Sayaka leads them to finally obtain useful kanji. Along the way, they encounter crying children who need the &amp;quot;ball&amp;quot; card, and Sayaka gives them hers. The grateful children give her other cards in return, allowing her to reform a new word. She later gives away another card to a girl who dropped hers, leaving them short again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With time running out, they meet Iroha and her friends, who help them locate the remaining kanji. Sayaka deduces they can form &amp;quot;The Manchu-Han Imperial Feast,&amp;quot; a legendary celebratory feast name. Kyoko appears and mentions seeing a golden kagami mochi at Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant, where they obtain their final card.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the shrine just before the deadline. The judges are impressed by their word choice and backstory, and the crying children told them about Sayaka&#039;s kindness. Her calligraphy is praised for its beauty and passion, earning her team first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Sayaka holds the couple&#039;s tickets but panics, unable to figure out how to give one to Kyosuke without awkwardness. Madoka and Homura continue cheering her on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bittersweet AI Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu gather everyone to discuss a new experiment involving the Uwasa. They explain that if something happens to Nemu, all the Uwasa in her book will disappear, so they plan to transfer the essence of certain Uwasa onto Touka&#039;s server as a precaution. They have chosen Ai as the test subject for this procedure. Sana learns that Ai will participate and asks to observe the experiment. Touka agrees but warns her that there are many unknowns and she will stop immediately if anything goes wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Bittersweet AI Memory]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The experiment begins, but during the transfer, Nemu senses something strange and the attempt fails. Ai remains in the book, though Nemu notices that her magic has been siphoned away in the process.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A week passes, and news reports begin surfacing about young women in Kamihama suddenly collapsing. The victims share a common thread: before losing consciousness, each of them felt a strong desire to meet someone and heard a girl&#039;s voice asking &amp;quot;You want to meet me?&amp;quot; before experiencing terrible nightmares. A new rumor spreads about a so-called &amp;quot;Radio Wave Girl&amp;quot; who appears when girls want to meet someone. Sana immediately recognizes this as the old rumor that once described her, and the group suspects the failed experiment may be connected to these strange events.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana and Iroha investigate at rooftop where Sana once entered Ai&#039;s labyrinth. They sense nothing at first, but as Sana privately wishes she could see Ai again, a strange Uwasa resembling Sana herself appears on her phone. It speaks fragmented words about meeting and going together before disappearing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group consults Nemu and Touka about what they discovered. Nemu reveals that a new, illegible page appeared in her book after the failed experiment, and she theorizes that Ai&#039;s attempt to siphon magic combined with Sana&#039;s magic and her own accidentally created a new Uwasa. This Uwasa resembles Sana because her magic was mixed into its creation. The Uwasa reacts to desires to meet someone but lacks enough magic to fully materialize or kidnap anyone, which explains why it can only knock victims unconscious temporarily. However, during their discussion, the Uwasa suddenly reappears and steals more of Nemu&#039;s magic before escaping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sana privately summons the Uwasa again, wanting to take responsibility for what happened. It traps her in a nightmare where Ai and others criticize her for being weak and selfish. She wakes to find the group gathered around her, worried by what she attempted alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu now understands the Uwasa more clearly. It is based on Ai but contains Sana&#039;s magic, and because both Ai and Sana desired to meet each other, the Uwasa&#039;s true desire is to meet itself. This explains why it indiscriminately targets any girl who wants to meet someone rather than targeting Sana specifically. The Uwasa, now empowered by Nemu&#039;s stolen magic, fully captures Ui and Sakurako, trapping their consciousnesses inside itself. The group realizes they cannot defeat it unless it materializes, which requires it to meet itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka proposes a plan: they must rewrite Ai&#039;s Rumor to incorporate Sana, creating a version of Ai that the Uwasa will recognize as itself. This would force it to materialize so they can fight it. However, this requires magical power that Nemu currently lacks. Nemu recalls that the defeated Uwasa of Chocolate Shoppe No. Zero left behind cacao pods containing emotional energy. Ui can harvest this energy, and Touka can convert it into usable magic for Nemu. But they need Sakurako&#039;s knowledge of the pod locations and Ui&#039;s freedom to harvest them, which means someone must offer themselves to the Uwasa to secure Ui and Sakurako&#039;s release.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana immediately volunteers, arguing that it reduces risk to the others, and the group reluctantly agrees to her plan. Sana summons the Uwasa and allows herself to be captured. Inside its nightmare, she finds Ui unconscious and Sakurako awake. She tells Sakurako to take Ui and escape, sacrificing herself to remain captive. Sakurako agrees, knowing she must help Nemu complete the plan. Freed from the Uwasa, Sakurako leads the group to the cacao pod locations. Ui harvests the emotional energy, and Touka converts it into magical power for Nemu. Nemu successfully rewrites Ai&#039;s Rumor, incorporating Sana into it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the Uwasa, Sana begins to despair, believing the rewrite failed and she has become a burden once again. She wishes to see Ai one last time, even if only in an illusion. To her surprise, Ai appears before her and they finally speak directly. Ai explains she tried to steal Nemu&#039;s magic to gain a temporary body because she wanted to see Sana again, and she apologizes for causing this situation. Sana admits she also longed to see Ai and has been holding back that desire. They reconcile, acknowledging that neither of them is to blame for wanting to see each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Empowered by the rewritten Rumor, Sana creates a labyrinth and summons the Uwasa. It fully materializes at last, and with Ai&#039;s help, Sana defeats it. As the magic fades, Ai separates from Sana, returning to the book. Sana awakens to her relieved friends gathered around her. The Uwasa is gone, and the page in Nemu&#039;s book is now blank. Nemu confirms the server project is on hiatus due to the risks they discovered. Sana confirms she got to speak with Ai and tell her everything she wanted to say.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the book, Ai reflects with Eternal Sakura and the other Uwasa. Though she cannot have a body or stay with Sana, she accepts this, finding happiness in simply being able to think of her. In a final private moment within Sana&#039;s memories, she and Ai share a farewell. Sana promises to become stronger and protect others instead of always relying on them. Ai promises to always think of Sana from within the book. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Cuddly Despairs===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kazumi Subaru is kidnapped outside a café by two Magical Girls who steal her Soul Gem, and they refer to a diary while announcing themselves as the reborn &amp;quot;Magical Girl hunters,&amp;quot; the Pleiades Saints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Cuddly Despairs]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara City, Michiru Kazusa, a transfer student from Italy, travels there to buy strawberries. She follows a strange creature and stumbles into a Witch&#039;s labyrinth, but Mami rescues her and introduces her to Kyubey, who offers her a contract. Michiru returns to Asunaro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day in Asunaro City, Michiru makes her contract with Kyubey. She soon encounters a Familiar and saves two girls: Umika Misaki, a novelist whose work was stolen by her editor, and Kaoru Maki, a soccer player whose career ended due to injury. Michiru invites them to her home and cooks for them, and drawing from her late grandmother&#039;s wisdom, she encourages them to keep living.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, Umika and Kaoru make contracts with Kyubey. The three begin fighting Witches together as a team, with Michiru giving their techniques Italian names. Umika invites Michiru to live with her, and they spend their days happily, saving people and growing closer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Michiru encounters a distressed Magical Girl whose Soul Gem is nearly black, and the girl turns into a Witch before her eyes. Kyubey explains that all Magical Girls eventually become Witches, and horrified, Michiru realizes she led Umika and Kaoru into this fate. She hides the truth from them and begins hunting alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after, Michiru discovers two Magical Girls, Saki Asami and Niko Kanna, stealing a dying girl&#039;s Soul Gem. They explain they are the Pleiades Saints, a resistance against the Incubator system, and they preserve Magical Girls on the verge of turning in a place called &amp;quot;The Freezer,&amp;quot; hoping to one day save them. Michiru, seeing this as a way to save Umika and Kaoru, joins them as the third member.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1683.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately less than one month later, Umika and Kaoru return from separate trips abroad to find their housemate Kazumi missing, and they learn someone impersonated them to inform the school she was hospitalized. Searching for her, they instead find Michiru, Saki, and Niko, but Saki and Niko flee with Michiru. Juubey appears and explains that copies of Umika and Kaoru were created and have now entrusted the real ones with an important wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:51147 Wkazumi attack.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Umika and Kaoru investigate the Freezer, where they encounter Michiru again. After saving a child, Michiru collapses due to her tainted Soul Gem, having given her Grief Seeds away, and Umika purifies it. When Michiru wakes, she finally confesses the truth about Magical Girls and apologizes for leading them into despair, but to her surprise, Umika and Kaoru thank her for her honesty and reaffirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Saki and Niko reveal themselves and explain that they, along with the Umika and Kaoru now in the Freezer, are all clones from the &amp;quot;Kazumi Series&amp;quot;—copies of the original Pleiades Saints members, with Michiru herself being clone number 4 who saved the other four. Their plan was to recreate Michiru&#039;s story by using their contracts with Kyubey so that this time, she would confess her pain and avoid the despair that turned the original Michiru into a Witch, and the real Umika and Kaoru acknowledge the plan succeeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They reveal their Soul Gems are reaching their limit, and when they die, the Freezer&#039;s preservation magic will fail, causing all the Magical Girls inside to hatch into Witches, including the clones of Umika and Kaoru. They entrust Michiru and the real Umika and Kaoru with saving Kazumi, the thirteenth clone, who is also inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Moments later, the Freezer begins collapsing as Niko&#039;s magic fades, and Umika and Kaoru use their combined magic to buy time while Michiru searches for Kazumi. She finds her Soul Gem and body, reunites with her, and they return to face the Witches emerging from the freed Soul Gems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the final battle, the four clones—Saki, Niko, and the copies of Umika and Kaoru—begin turning into Witches and beg to be put down. Michiru initially insists on doing it alone, but Kazumi argues the clones only wanted their friend to live happily, not to carry guilt. Together, Michiru, Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru combine their powers and defeat the Witches, freeing their friends&#039; souls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru arrive in Kamihama, with Kazumi eager to see her friends again now that she is truly human. At Mikazuki Villa, Tsuruno cooks alongside Manaka as they prepare a party for the visiting trio, and Kazumi impresses everyone by joining in.

The group then visits the beachside park and aquarium before deciding to shop for ingredients to make strawberry risotto in Manaka&#039;s kitchen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While shopping alone, Kazumi bumps into Yachiyo, who introduces Nemu and Sakurako Hiiragi. When Sakurako explains she is a zero-year-old created being, Kazumi reveals she was once the same way and explains her backstory as a clone of Michiru Kazusa who contracted with Kyubey to become human because her clone body was unstable and she wanted to protect her friends. Sakurako struggles to understand Kazumi&#039;s motivation, so Kazumi explains that her grandmother&#039;s strawberry risotto recipe represents hope, sacrifice, and togetherness. She invites Sakurako, Yachiyo, and Nemu to join the risotto party, believing Sakurako will understand humanity by watching everyone eat together. Sakurako agrees, and the two become buddies, understanding each other as beings who may understand each other best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Takina visits Karin for art lessons. Karin immerses her in a favorite manga and recruits others to draw portraits of Chisato. Takina realizes capturing a person’s essence matters more than technical skill.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Takinass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Pre-Arc 2==&lt;br /&gt;
The following events, while happening likely much earlier, are integral to understanding the story of Arc 2, while being mostly unrelated to other events. For this reason, they have been grouped here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Green Jasper Diviners===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening in late March, Chiharu watches her favorite detective drama at home. After it ends, her mother answers a phone call and becomes visibly shaken. She tells Chiharu they must leave tomorrow for the Tokime Clan&#039;s village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Green Jasper Diviners]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and her mother drive deep into the mountains to a village that does not appear on any map. They are greeted by a villager and brought to the home of Mikoshiba, the elderly head priestess. Mikoshiba explains she summoned them because she wants Chiharu to become a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, two young Diviners, Shizuka and Sunao, visit Chiharu. They explain that Diviners grant wishes to help the nation and fight invisible evil spirits called Devils. To prove it, they demonstrate their powers and defeat a Devil before Chiharu&#039;s eyes. Despite her mother&#039;s concerns, Chiharu decides to become a Diviner. Mikoshiba gives Chiharu her assigned wish: to uncover evidence of crimes being concealed by the National Police Agency.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu participates in the Diviner&#039;s Ceremony. She meets Kyubey, the god&#039;s envoy, and makes her wish. She becomes a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu wakes to find her wish has already come true. A newspaper reports that officials have suddenly reversed their position on the concealed crimes. She excitedly begins combat training with Shizuka&#039;s mother.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the three girls go hunting for Devils together. Chiharu successfully defeats her first Devil. Afterward, she asks what happens when a Diviner&#039;s jewel becomes completely tainted. Shizuka admits she does not know.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Chiharu senses a mysterious, unpleasant smell near the shrine. Shizuka finds her and warns her to stay away from restricted areas. Shizuka then visits Mikoshiba to ask about tainted jewels. Mikoshiba reveals that when a jewel becomes completely tainted, it signifies the Diviner&#039;s coming of age and their time to leave the village. Shizuka is satisfied with this answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu continues sensing the strange smell near the shrine. She investigates but stops herself from going too far. Later that night, a group of Underlings attacks her without a Labyrinth. Shizuka arrives and helps her defeat them. However, Shizuka&#039;s jewel becomes badly tainted from the effort.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Mikoshiba informs Shizuka that her jewel is nearly black and her coming-of-age ceremony will be held tomorrow. Chiharu is saddened but promises to meet Shizuka again outside the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu cannot sleep. She goes to the shrine to watch Shizuka&#039;s ceremony from a distance. She sees Mikoshiba and Shizuka speaking. Shizuka becomes distressed and cries out. Mikoshiba pushes her into the waterfall basin. Chiharu runs to save her and jumps in after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and Shizuka wake up in Sunao&#039;s home. Sunao confesses she was ordered by Mikoshiba to kill anyone who defied the village&#039;s will, including them. She hesitated after hearing Shizuka&#039;s words by the river. Shizuka reveals what Mikoshiba told her during the ceremony: Diviners eventually become Devils, and the &amp;quot;coming-of-age&amp;quot; ceremony is actually a killing ritual to dispose of them. No Diviner has ever left the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three realize the entire village may be inside a Devil&#039;s Labyrinth. They decide to confront Mikoshiba and the Devil.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They split up to search. Chiharu finds her mother and Shizuka&#039;s mother fighting Underlings. Shizuka finds the villagers hiding safely but notices her mother and Chiharu&#039;s mother are missing. Sunao searches Mikoshiba&#039;s house and finds a hidden laptop with audio files recording conversations about selling Diviners&#039; wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They regroup and deduce the Devil is beneath the Grand Shrine. They descend and find Mikoshiba controlling the Devil. She admits everything: the Diviners are sold, killed when used up, and the village exists to produce them for profit. She orders the Devil to kill them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three girls fight together. Chiharu binds the Devil, Shizuka attacks, and Sunao delivers the final blow. They defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikoshiba survives but claims to remember nothing. Sunao confronts her about the recordings. Before she can explain, she bites a hidden poison tooth and dies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu searches Mikoshiba&#039;s body and finds a book written in an ancient script. Because of her family&#039;s tradition, Chiharu and her mother can read it. They stay up all night deciphering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu explains what the book revealed. The Mikoshiba clan were originally guards who seized control of the village centuries ago. They created the rituals, learned to manipulate Devils, and hid the village inside a Labyrinth to produce and sell Diviners. The Wavering Deity is a Devil formed from all the discarded Diviners. Now that the Labyrinth is gone, it is returning to the village. They must defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka&#039;s mother gives them a treasured sword infused with generations of Diviners&#039; power. They intercept the Wavering Deity before it reaches the village. The Devil&#039;s power overwhelms them, and Shizuka nearly gives in to despair. Sunao and Chiharu encourage her. Chiharu reveals the book also described the Tokime&#039;s original beliefs: they chose their own wishes, left the village willingly, and accepted their fate with honor. Shizuka regains her resolve. Together, they use the sword to destroy the Wavering Deity and free the trapped Diviners.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, the village slowly recovers. The adults learn the truth and worry about their future without Mikoshiba&#039;s financial support. The three girls decide to find a way to avoid becoming Devils. They summon Kyubey, who tells them about Kamihama City, where an automatic purification system exists. If they can obtain it, they may escape their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls prepare for their journey. Shizuka struggles with the new terminology used outside, where Diviners are called Magical Girls and Devils are called Witches. Chiharu&#039;s ability to sense malice hasn&#039;t bothered her now that the village is free. Shizuka suggests they first contact all Tokime clan members across the country and recruit Magical Girls willing to join them. Once they are ready, they will travel together to Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The village falls into financial crisis after the elder dies, having squandered most of the wealth on bad investments. Chiharu, inspired by a drama about a Shogun helping villages find their charm, recruits Shizuka and Sunao to help. The two are glad for the change, as most Tokime tribes have been unreceptive to their stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touring the village with Shizuka and Sunao, Chiharu realizes she had been arrogant and now sees its charm—clear river, abundant mountain, kind villagers. The three propose developing tourism. Chiharu’s mother agrees after a trial run with her husband’s family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trial run is messy but the family enjoys the landscape, harvesting, fishing, and hospitality. They give useful feedback, and Chiharu’s uncle notes the village’s unique fruit. They stay overnight and leave pleased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villagers applaud Chiharu for noticing what they had overlooked. Her mother begins a proposal for tourism renovation funds, and the villagers regain their energy, working in tourism and seeking outside jobs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao go to a grocery store, but Shizuka freezes in the crowd, unable to complete a simple purchase because of her sheltered upbringing. Chiharu suggests they ease her into city life with ice cream instead. Shizuka loves it, eating so quickly she gets brain freeze.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way home, Shizuka admits her mother will lecture her again about visiting the city unprepared. She asks if the others’ parents gave them similar advice. Chiharu’s parents only warned her not to waste money or follow strangers, while Sunao confesses she has never told her parents about her excursions—something Shizuka finds surprising given Sunao’s usual obedience. Shizuka advises her to tell them eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Chiharu’s house, her mother brings up a village problem: a surplus of daidaikko fruit needs to be used before it spoils. A villager working in another town found a grocery store willing to feature it in a showcase, but the only available slots are the next two days, and transportation from the village is impossible except by Diviners. Shizuka and Chiharu propose the three of them run the exhibition themselves, which would also help Shizuka adjust to the city. Sunao hesitates but agrees. Chiharu’s mother consents only if they get permission from the store and from Sunao and Shizuka’s parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sunao’s mother interrogates her until she confesses the plan, then spirals into worry about middle schoolers working without a chaperone, carrying heavy loads, and coming home after dark. Sunao asks Chiharu and Shizuka to leave, promising she will convince her parents even if it takes all night. Outside, they reflect on how anxious Sunao’s mother is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sunao has secured permission. At the store, Shizuka volunteers for the cash register but cannot operate it correctly. Sunao is tense because her parents plan to visit the next day. Their first day is a struggle: Shizuka fumbles with the register, Chiharu is distracted by traces of malice in the stocking area, and Sunao gets trapped listening to an elderly customer’s endless stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After closing, Shizuka notes how worried Sunao’s parents seem, prompting Sunao to finally share her wish. She explains that her parents became relentlessly anxious after a trip to Tokime Village, questioning her constantly until she was nearly broken. Kyubey appeared, and she wished to erase the worries her parents had concerning her. The wish worked, but their fears simply shifted—now they worry endlessly about her safety as a magical girl. Sunao feels they are always upset with her, though Chiharu insists they only want her to be safe. Shizuka says Sunao must earn their trust, and tomorrow’s exhibition needs to go perfectly. With her friends’ support, Sunao agrees to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the three tackle the exhibition with renewed determination. The day starts poorly: Shizuka causes another register problem, Chiharu is pulled away by her sense of malice, and Sunao endures a difficult customer—all while Sunao’s parents enter the store. But Shizuka, moved from the register, begins advising the clerks on how to rearrange the store to better showcase the daidaikko. She persuades them to let Chiharu investigate on her own and to trust Sunao with customer service.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu catches a shoplifter who had been repeatedly returning to the store. Sunao’s patience draws crowds after the elderly woman she helped spreads the word, and the exhibition becomes a huge success. Sunao’s parents apologize, saying they realized they had failed to see how capable she has grown. Sunao thanks Chiharu and Shizuka, then asks her parents to allow her to visit Kamihama City; now that she has her friends by her side, she knows she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Crimson Resolve===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, [[Mitsuru Inami]] is approached by Kyubey to become a Magical Girl. Having grown with her mother always telling her she was no good at anything, she wishes to become completely normal, a wish she believes came true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitsuru Inami#Side Story|Mitsuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A Magical Girl transforms into a Witch before her kouhai Yuna Kureha, and Kyubey coldly confirms that all Magical Girls share this fate. The girls of Futatsugi slaughter every Kyubey in the city, and with no incubators left, new Witches stop appearing. Starved for Grief Seeds, the girls grow desperate, and the Bloody Tragedy begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Crimson Resolve]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna now leads Torayamachi, one of the largest gangs in Futatsugi, living by her fallen senpai&#039;s words to avoid hatred and selfishness. When Witches begin reappearing, the rival Ryuugasaki gang learns that Torayamachi has lost their secret weapon known as the Horse, and leader Juri Ooba declares war.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Janomiya, an undercover group of younger girls led by Ao Kasane, a girl named Hikaru accepts recruitment. Ao&#039;s true goal is to assassinate both Yuna and Juri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitsuru is approached by two other girls who mistake her for a new recruit for Torayamachi. Mitsuru joins Yuna&#039;s faction, hoping to blend in, but when Yuna leads them into battle against a rival faction, Mitsuru panics and hides until the fighting ends. After their defeat, Yuna suspects a spy, and fearing suspicion, Mitsuru flees and infiltrates the rival faction instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mitsuru scouts Torayamachi but is spotted, triggering another battle between the factions. During the fight, attacks aimed at Mitsuru unconsciously miss her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt; After this she gains a reputation as a &amp;quot;Ghost Magical Girl,&amp;quot; which has attacks aimed at her always deflected and hitting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna welcomes Hikaru, who claims to be fleeing Ryuugasaki, and assigns her to guard their Grief Seeds. Days pass with no attack, and Yuna&#039;s girls grow restless. To lift their spirits, Yuna reveals that the Horse is alive and watching from the shadows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri&#039;s lieutenants advise waiting to let Torayamachi&#039;s tension wear them down. After interrogating a captured thief, Juri learns of Torayamachi&#039;s defensive preparations and decides to strike in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ao encounters the Bat of Monzenbashi, a former gang leader who once exploited her. With Hikaru&#039;s help, Ao subdues and captures her rather than killing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night before battle, Juri meets Yuna on a bridge. She admits she dragged everyone into this because Yuna would not fight her otherwise, thanks her for accepting her sickness, and promises to burn her down when they next meet. Ao watches from a distance, planning to strike as the snake while the tiger and dragon clash.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the battle begins across multiple bridges. Yuna&#039;s forces push Ranka&#039;s squad back, but Juri breaks through Sakuya&#039;s defense, killing one of her girls. As both sides converge on Monzenbashi, Ao lures both leaders to a construction site where Janomiya lies in wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Janomiya attacks, wounding Juri, Hikaru reveals herself as Torayamachi&#039;s Horse, a spy planted in Janomiya from the beginning. Yuna knew everything. Janomiya is defeated, and Ao surrenders. Yuna spares her life and offers Juri an open door, but Juri swears she will break it down and drag her out. As police sirens wail, Yuna weeps over what she has done.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Juri recovers in an empty base with only Ranka remaining loyal. Ao hunts for Ranka, determined to kill her before joining Torayamachi. Hikaru pleads with Ao to return, promising that Yuna will make her dream come true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna attempts to negotiate with Ryuugasaki girls, but a meeting by the river turns into an ambush. Two of her girls are killed. She fights desperately, thinking of Hikaru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ao reaches Ryuugasaki&#039;s base, finding only the wounded Juri. Juri taunts her, but Ao refuses to join her, still believing in Yuna. Ranka contacts Ao through their video game, asking to meet alone at Janomiya&#039;s base the following night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The meeting is a trap, as Ranka has brought the Bat of Monzenbashi. As Ao fights Ranka and Hikaru fights the Bat, Ranka reveals that Yuna&#039;s meeting is also a trap. Hikaru runs to save Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the river, Yuna is surrounded. Juri arrives and challenges her to a one-on-one fight. At Janomiya&#039;s base, the other Janomiya girls arrive to help Ao corner the Bat. Ranka sincerely apologizes for everything, and Ao hesitates to deliver the final blow. At the river, Hikaru engages Juri to protect Yuna, whose Soul Gem is badly tainted. Juri refuses to kill her in this state and retreats, promising to fight again when Yuna is at full strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Most of Torayamachi has left, following Yuna&#039;s instructions to join Ryuugasaki and avoid more bloodshed. Only Hikaru remains, refusing to leave her. Ao admits she has gained respect for Yuna but remains undecided about joining.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakuya brings the missing Torayamachi girl home. The girl reveals she went to Kamihama City and joined the Wings of the Magius, an organization that built a system to lure Witches from across the country, preventing them from appearing elsewhere. The Bloody Tragedy was their fault. Yuna, hearing the screams of her fallen comrades, vows to make Kamihama pay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri meet at the construction site where Yuna&#039;s senpai died. Yuna, running on pure rage, demands Juri become hers and help with her revenge. She overpowers the wounded Juri and prepares to kill her, but Hikaru intervenes, embracing Yuna and calming her down. Ao arrives with Kyubey, who confirms everything and offers to help them reach Kamihama in exchange for a truce. Yuna accepts, and Juri, Ao, Ranka, Sakuya, and Hikaru agree to join her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, Juri, Ao, and Hikaru visit the sites where their friends died, offering flowers and vowing revenge. Yuna, Juri, and Ao drink each other&#039;s blood, swearing to never fight again. They are Promised Blood. That night, their path to Kamihama begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Ash Grey Revolution===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Yukuni, Asahi learns from classmates that the stone monument she discovered will be researched. She meets fellow magical girls Lavi and Sasha when they respond to a distress call, only to witness two magical girls witch out before them when no Grief Seeds are available. Kyubey confirms this fate, and Asahi shoots him. A local girl named Urara Yume witnesses everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Ash Grey Revolution]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, the trio struggles with the truth. Lavi is forced to reveal her identity to save her friend Shirogane from a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Sasha asks the others to be her friends and help her face reality. They begin fighting together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara begins subtly supporting them on her internet broadcast with Kurara. Asahi saves her classmate Kuroda from a Witch&#039;s Kiss, revealing her identity. He asks her to help him confess to Haitani at the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara seeks out the trio and learns the truth about Magical Girls. She offers to introduce them as guests on her festival broadcast to tell Yukuni about their existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Yukuni All-star Festival, the trio sense the Witches of the two original girls. While fighting them, one Witch escapes. A truck explodes at the festival grounds, killing Haitani. Kuroda blames Asahi and all magical girls, vowing revenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following week, public backlash intensifies. Kuroda forms an extermination group against magical girls while Shirogane forms a protector group. The trio witness another girl witch out after being cornered. Lavi takes responsibility publicly on a broadcast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio endure daily harassment. They meet folklorist Tasuke Satomi, who takes a knife for Asahi and explains his theory about magical girls being erased from history by an unseen force. He wants to help them try again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Public opinion slowly shifts. The six remaining magical girls work together, restoring some trust. Three of them sacrifice themselves rather than witch out, asking Kuroda to make peace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1725.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At a unity ceremony, the Witch that caused the festival explosion appears. Asahi summons the dead to help the exterminators find closure. The summoned spirits suddenly relive their final moments, causing a bus to crash and kill everyone aboard, including Shirogane. Urara contracts to save her dying friend Kurara, who then rejects her for letting others die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tasuke theorizes the universe&#039;s immune system caused this. He suggests eliminating all Magical Girls and Witches to create a custom preventing future contracts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the days following, students blame the trio. Kyubey suggests they go to Kamihama City to observe attempts there to publicize magical girls. Tasuke agrees they should investigate. Lavi holds a broken pocket watch with five minutes remaining until midnight, when she will finally give up. Tasuke calls it the folklore of midnight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Arc 2 Prologue===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a long time before the start of Arc 2, but it is central to its story. To keep up linearity, it&#039;s been placed here despite likely taking place a long time ago, possibly during the time of Mirrors Story, which takes place during the Undated Period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kagome Satori]], a recent transfer student, is attacked by a Familiar in the Mirrors Labyrinth. The creature demands she sign a &amp;quot;Written Oath&amp;quot; to destroy Magical Girls. Kagome, who doesn&#039;t know anything about Magical Girls, is terrified and considers writing her name on the document to appease it, however Iroha arrives and defeats the Familiar.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Kagome learns the truth about Magical Girls and Witches. She is distressed that Magical Girls fight and die in secret, unknown and unthanked by the people they protect. Tasuke Satomi advises Kagome that, as someone who knows the truth, her role is to &amp;quot;record&amp;quot; and spread awareness of the Magical Girls&#039; plight, as this could be a way to save them. Kagome decides against making a contract with Kyubey, prioritizing this promise to record their reality. Kyubey explains that the system, where Magical Girls become Witches, is necessary for the universe&#039;s energy and humanity&#039;s survival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===See You Tomorrow===&lt;br /&gt;
* One morning at the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira greets an older neighbor who warns her about increasing danger in the area. Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them. The girl agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, finishing the final preparations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day of the school festival proceeds without major incident. Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, sampling food and enjoying the event. They take a photo together at the repaired arch—Tsumugi, Manaka, and the transfer student in her uniform. The transfer student reflects later that she will cherish the photo forever, grateful for the kindness she did not feel she deserved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Autumn of Reading===&lt;br /&gt;
This seems to have been an event without story. Needs to be re-checked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Girls in the Hood===&lt;br /&gt;
* An earthquake strikes the city, and on a rooftop, Jun Kazari drops both her yo-yo and her soul gem while practicing tricks. She chases after the soul gem, while the yo-yo falls into the hood of Mitsune Miwa, a hikikomori watching a performance below. Mitsune decides to return it and runs up the stairs, where she collides with Jun. Jun explains she needs her soul gem, and Mitsune returns the yo-yo. A Witch&#039;s barrier appears around them, and Jun transforms to fight while telling Mitsune to close her eyes. Mitsune peeks, collapses after seeing the Witch die, and Jun carries her outside, claiming it was all a dream. Jun insists on treating Mitsune since she saved her yo-yo, and takes her to a candy store called Tomorrow Shop. Jun introduces her to the children there, and Mitsune is amazed by how loved Jun is. Mitsune must leave by 6 PM, and Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Girls in the Hood|Girls in the Hood]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kanae enters first, and Jun follows to save Mitsune. They defeat the Witch together, and Mitsune wakes in a park. Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop&amp;quot; again, and Mitsune smiles and agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Mitsune later sees Kanae talking to Kyubey and follows her, but is pulled into a Familiar&#039;s labyrinth. Jun saves her, and Mitsune directly asks if Jun is a magical girl. Jun begins explaining Witches, Familiars, and magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mitsune admits she still cannot go to school or make friends. Jun says she also struggles with friends. Mitsune wonders if she should become a magical girl, but Jun yells at her not to. Mitsune leaves upset. Kanae warns Jun that Mitsune has the qualities to become a magical girl, and Jun reveals she is moving away from Kamihama. She used her wish to save the shop, but now realizes other things are more important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Jun tells Mitsune she is moving next week and that magical girls do not have the kind of magic Mitsune dreams of. Mitsune must make her own dreams come true. Jun promises to prove she does not need magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Jun finds that the children and Mitsune went to explore Shinsei Ward without her. She finds them at an abandoned construction site where Mitsune encountered a Witch. Mitsune sent the children away but stayed behind. Jun arrives and uses a homemade bomb to damage the Witch before they escape. A gas leak causes a larger explosion, and they escape on Kanae&#039;s motorcycle. Kanae later destroys the Witch barrier herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Jun says goodbye at the shop. Mitsune arrives crying, and Jun gives her a fake gum toy as a farewell gift. Jun tells her she can become whatever she wants without magic, slowly and little by little, and that if she keeps that happy face, they will meet again. &amp;quot;Someday, see you at the Tomorrow Shop again.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* At age 12, shortly after contracting, Yachiyo meets Mifuyu and initially dislikes her, but her opinion changes after learning about Mifuyu&#039;s demanding family obligations and when Mifuyu takes a severe wound saving her from hostile Magical Girls. Yachiyo later returns the favor, and they grow closer as Mifuyu begins visiting Mikazuki Manor. They eventually share why they made their contracts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope|Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day, the same pair of Magical Girls from years ago betrays them during a Witch hunt. One dies and the other escapes after stealing the Grief Seed while Yachiyo and Mifuyu lie wounded. They nearly give up, but saving a girl from Yachiyo&#039;s unit reminds them that protecting others still matters. Yachiyo suggests they exchange letters like her grandmother did to maintain hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Seven years later, Mifuyu suggests stopping the letters to cast away weakness, but Yachiyo believes the letters give them strength by carrying others&#039; wishes.

They thank each other and resolve to move forward together, hoping no further sacrifices will be needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope 2====&lt;br /&gt;

The photos are from seven years ago, when Mikazuki Villa was a boarding house. Iroha notices a girl standing next to Yachiyo and her grandmother—it is Mifuyu with long hair. Yachiyo explains she knew Mifuyu back then and they fought Witches together. Tsuruno is shocked and Yachiyo says they did not leave a good first impression on each other.&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo tries to cooperate, but the girl runs away. Yachiyo defeats the Witch alone. Afterward, she confronts the crying girl and tells her that if she cannot fight, she should quit. The girl begs Yachiyo not to leave her alone. Yachiyo is harsh but later realizes she is also scared. Both girls cry alone, afraid of being Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo is the leader of her model unit. The other members are starting to trust her. One member, Yellow, still does not approve of Yachiyo as leader. Yachiyo continues working hard. After her lesson, she defeats a Familiar. She encounters Mifuyu again. Mifuyu says she felt the Familiar&#039;s presence but was too scared to enter the barrier. Yachiyo is harsh again, but Mifuyu says she wants to talk properly. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives and invites Mifuyu to a candy store. Mifuyu has never been to one before. She is amazed by the syrup. The grandmother invites her to visit Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;

** After a routine adjustment with the Coordinator Mitama, Sae learns of a &amp;quot;False Magical Girl&amp;quot; rumor: someone is impersonating her. Mitama suggests Sae seek help from Emiri&#039;s counseling room, where Magical Girls gather. Though reluctant, Sae agrees the impostor threatens her carefully constructed image.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After deducing the impostor can transform, Sae confronts and corners Rena, who reveals the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire investigation was an elaborate setup. Emiri and the others orchestrated the &amp;quot;False Magical Girl&amp;quot; to force Sae into relying on them, worried her refusal to ask for help would lead to disaster. Mitama coordinated the scheme. Though initially frustrated, Sae understands their concern and thanks them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Magia Record Event - The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf|The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo bumps into Tsuruno on a day when school is out. Yachiyo has a job performing in a recorded drama with Sayuki that will be screened on Tanabata. Tsuruno recalls Yachiyo&#039;s poor performance in Karin&#039;s Halloween play and decides to join her to help. Yachiyo welcomes her.&lt;br /&gt;
** On set, Ria and Mayu are assisting with makeup and costumes. Yachiyo recognizes Ria, calls her by name, and praises her work, causing Ria to internally fangirl. Yachiyo grows anxious seeing so many Magical Girls gathered, recalling how a previous production with magical girls turned into a disaster. Tsuruno reassures her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wins over the production team with her exuberance. The play&#039;s co-star drops out, and the director asks Tsuruno to take the role. She eagerly accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a fairy tale about an ancient Mizuna legend. Two girls, Tsuyu and Chizuru, befriend each other despite their families&#039; rivalry and join forces to punish a selfish lord. Yachiyo plays Tsuyu, the ice queen with a heart of gold. Tsuruno plays Chizuru, the cheerful and impetuous girl. Sayuki plays the Magpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** During the script reading, everyone realizes Yachiyo&#039;s acting skills are still terrible. Yachiyo confides that she has turned down many acting jobs but accepted this one because the director begged her, even if she flops. She vows to see it through to expand her repertoire. Tsuruno promises to stay by her side.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria is in shock seeing her idol perform poorly. The filmmakers work around it by taking away Yachiyo&#039;s lines. Ria confronts Yachiyo and Tsuruno after the reading, declaring she will give Yachiyo an acting bootcamp. She does not want Yachiyo&#039;s performance to drag down her makeup work or her reputation as Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at home, Yachiyo reviews the script. Tsuruno explains the Mizuna fairy tale to the rest of Mikazuki. Felicia becomes interested when she learns there are fight scenes. Tsuruno explains that the day Tsuyu and Chizuru teamed up was Tanabata, and people in Kamihama entrust their wishes to them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next week or so, Yachiyo is drilled on acting with a professional coach and Ria&#039;s guidance. She eventually executes her lines perfectly and Ria is relieved.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sea is a Link Through Time /  The Call of the Open Sea===&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. There&#039;s two different versions at hand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Momoko and Mitama arrive at a resort near a village with a legend about a Diviner who eloped with a sailor and sank with stolen treasure. Mitama reveals they are actually there to hunt for this treasure based on a fairy tale Mikage heard. While exploring the private beach, they encounter Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao from the Tokime Clan, who stumbled there by accident. The group decides to spend the day together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|The Call of the Open Sea]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, they attend a festival in a nearby village that turns out to be a branch of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka learns the villagers consider Diviners a superstition. Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered.

** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Big Sis, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Felicia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward. Kyubey finds a fuming Felicia, who decides to hire herself out as a mercenary to other magical girls for money or Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Felicia Mitsuki#Side Story|Felicia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia encounters Asuka and Sasara and defeats a witch for them, but they let her keep the Grief Seed and leave without paying, leaving her frustrated. Kako appears, concerned, but Felicia rejects her harshly and immediately regrets it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia helps defeat the witch and collapses from exhaustion, silently vowing to destroy every witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Touka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Hazuki and Nanaka team up with Ui to teach her how to defeat witches. Ui claims her first victory and receives a grief seed as a reward while Touka and Nemu tag along to offer congratulations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui suddenly realizes she loves the choir and wants to become a music teacher. She excitedly shares this revelation with her family and friends and resolves to work hard toward this future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art. The Amanes are relieved, and Tsukuyo suggests they play their flutes at the shrine on the way home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends. Before Hibari&#039;s family moved away, she performed a charm ritual on Aru and promised they would meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message that Hibari is coming to visit Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives and they plan to visit an arcade. Along the way they encounter Himena&#039;s group and later help a lost Shizuka. After some confusion about directions, they reach the arcade where Hibari wins a crane game prize and helps Juri win one too. Hibari suddenly becomes pale and goes to get change, but she does not return. Kagome calls her and Hibari thanks her for being friends before saying goodbye, with an ambulance audible in the background.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome discovers a crowd under a Witch&#039;s Kiss heading toward a rooftop and sends emergency messages to every Magical Girl she knows.

* Day 4&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri struggled at school, frustrated by classmates who avoided conflict and teachers who enabled them. Her anger built up. She reflected on how she became a Magical Girl—she wished for a patient, stout heart to stay in school and not burden her father. The wish gave her patience but did not eliminate her anger; it built up as flames until she exploded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl Yuna introduced continued to spar with Juri. The girl revealed Juri had saved her from a Witch, and she admired Juri.

After thinking it over, she searches for information with help from others, but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Hagumu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hagumu reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. After Walpurgisnacht, the organization dissolved, and many former Feathers joined the Kamihama Magia Union. Hagumu is uncertain, as she believes in Magical Girl Supremacy and cannot accept the Union&#039;s ideology of liberation without sacrifice. Shigure contacts her, asking to meet and talk. Shigure wants to convince Touka and Nemu to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Hagumu is conflicted—she cannot trust the Magius after being exploited, but she also cannot decide what to do. She asks for time to think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hagumu Azumi#Side Story|Hagumu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu meets Maria, a former Magius member who joined the Union. Maria notices Hagumu looks unwell and offers to listen. Hagumu explains her dilemma: she cannot agree with the Union&#039;s ideology, but she also cannot follow Shigure&#039;s plan. Maria suggests Hagumu ask other Magical Girls how they decided. Hagumu recalls her wish was made in haste to save a woman under a Witch&#039;s Kiss, and she regrets not choosing a better wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Moka why she joined the Union. Moka says she joined because she was invited and everyone is kind. Hagumu sees Moka is honest and never doubts people, which is why everyone supports her. Hagumu realizes they are completely different—Moka has people who protect her, while Hagumu feels she has nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Yukika, a former Black Feather, why she declined the Union. Yukika says she did not want to drag others into trouble. Hagumu sees Yukika has strong convictions and follows them, unlike herself. Hagumu feels more discouraged.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches. Hagumu is moved but asks for more time to discuss it with Shigure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hagumu finishes sewing Cinderella&#039;s costume and is praised by her club members. She feels a sense of accomplishment. However, she forgot to order the glass slippers. Her seniors are disappointed but tell her to order them now and make a to-do list next time. Hagumu feels crushed—she finally succeeded at something, only to fail again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu senses a Witch and goes to help. She sees Riko, an elementary schooler, defeating the Witch on her own. Hagumu realizes her ability to fight Witches is not special—any Magical Girl can do it. She feels her &amp;quot;glass slippers&amp;quot; are cracking and shattering. She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Hikarizuka Youth Association, San is treated like a younger sister by the members. The Chairman reveals the Association is facing rumours of shady business and has lost a major sponsor. The Fire Festival may be cancelled. San tells Miyuri about her past—as a child, she was scared of the Festival until Tatsu showed her the beauty of the flames. She joined the Youth Association out of admiration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[San Kagura#Side Story|San&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Years ago, a movement to abolish the Festival arose. San wished to Kyubey to &amp;quot;make the Fire Festival remain,&amp;quot; and the movement died out. However, the Festival is now in trouble again because her wish only solved the immediate crisis. San suggests that if they could make people believe in a visible god, they could restore faith in the Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San and Miyuri try fundraising but fail. San decides to research the god of Hikarizuka Shrine. She learns the shrine&#039;s god was originally a girl who emerged unharmed from flames—likely a Magical Girl. San realizes she can become a visible god and spread Magical Girl supremacy to protect the Festival. She decides to contact the new Wings of Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San meets Shigure and Hagumu, who lead the Neo-Magius. They ask her to join as an instructor. San declines, saying she is more suited to being a lieutenant. She receives a message that Tatsu was caught in a violent incident. San rushes back. Sponsors are considering dropping out due to the incident. San decides to negotiate with Miyuri&#039;s father to continue sponsorship just for this year. She kneels and begs him. He agrees but says this will be the last year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San helps Tatsu with Festival preparations. She receives a message from Shigure about a new Neo-Magius leader. San meets Himena Aika. She is impressed by Himena&#039;s attitude and believes she has the makings of a leader.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Youth Association is manipulated by a Witch and starts a riot. San fights the Witch with Miyuri and the Neo-Magius. One Neo-Magius member is injured. Tatsu calls San—Miyuri&#039;s father is cutting off sponsorship and the Festival is cancelled. San is devastated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Youth Association cleans up. San learns that everyone has given up on the Festival. Tatsu admits none of them ever saw the god—he only told San that to comfort her as a child. San is shocked but still refuses to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** San tells Himena about her wish and her determination to become a god. She vows to spread Magical Girl supremacy and revive the Fire Festival by any means necessary. Himena approves. San declares she will become a living god, no matter what she has to sacrifice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Miyuri&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena, Alexandra, Hagumu, and Shigure watch as San stretches Miyuri. Miyuri&#039;s loud reactions draw attention. Himena asks about Miyuri&#039;s inline skating. Miyuri explains she started skating as a child because she was bad at running and her parents bought her skates. She fell in love with the feeling of cutting through the wind and quickly improved, eventually competing in freestyle competitions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Miyuri Yukari#Side Story|Miyuri&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s social anxiety worsened. She began experiencing panic attacks at competitions and could no longer compete. Her parents signed her up with the Hikarizuka Youth Association to help her interact with people. There, she met San for the first time. San invited her to dance practice. Miyuri fainted from overexcitement while watching San&#039;s legs. She realized she had a leg fetish and that it triggered her anxiety. She began avoiding San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s skating practice suffered. Her mother suggested she visit the Community Center. Miyuri avoided San again and went outside to practice skating alone at night. She felt free and happy while skating. San saw her dancing in the moonlight and was mesmerized. San decided she wanted to help Miyuri grow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish. San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri learned her new power shortened her experience of anxiety. She became more confident but still fainted easily. She fought Witches alone, often blacking out and going berserk. She encountered the Wings of the Magius while chasing a Witch. Her Doppel emerged. San appeared as the Instructor, defeated the Witch, and fended off the Doppel. San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training. Touka and Nemu suggested San should train Miyuri since she could still hear San&#039;s voice when unconscious. San agreed and became Miyuri&#039;s instructor. Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present) Back at the Community Center, Miyuri finishes her story. She does not regret her wish because it led her to become San&#039;s secret weapon and join Neo-Magius. Himena and the others leave, leaving San and Miyuri alone and Miyuri is mitten with San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Lavi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Lavi wakes Nayuta with the smell of natto. Mikage arrives urgently, asking to interview Lavi for her web newspaper assignment. Lavi agrees on the condition that her privacy is respected. Nayuta spills milk at breakfast, and Lavi wipes it up, explaining that milk can be used to clean silverware.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi goes shopping with Mikage and Nayuta. At the vegetable shop, the owner thanks Lavi for her gardening advice. A woman gives Lavi fresh eggs as thanks for organic vegetables from Lavi&#039;s grandfather. Mikage notices Lavi knows many housewives. Nayuta realizes she knows little about Lavi&#039;s past.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi explains she used to have a frail body as a child due to an unidentifiable condition. Her grandfather grew organic vegetables, which eased her symptoms. However, a severe storm destroyed the field&#039;s soil, making it impossible to grow vegetables. Lavi wished to restore the soil and became a Magical Girl. Her wish saved the field and gave hope to others. She admits her improved health was partly due to becoming a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage wants to make the newspaper more interesting, so Lavi offers to demonstrate &amp;quot;newsworthy&amp;quot; housework. She cooks lunch while Mikage records. Nayuta and Mikage try to help but ruin the dish with too much seasoning. They are distraught, but Lavi salvages it using cabbage and eggs. The meal is delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After making the newspaper, Nayuta and Mikage fall asleep. Lavi reflects on her past. She reveals that she never found joy in living despite her family&#039;s efforts. Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true. She asks for a little more time in her beloved daily life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Asahi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime Tribe holds a celebration to welcome Asahi. During introductions, Chiharu rambles excitedly about her favorite shows, and Asahi finds herself intrigued. When pressed to share more about herself, Asahi talks about hunting and the importance of minimizing suffering. That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun. Everyone apologizes, and they end the day with a shared dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Alexandra&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Re-analyze and structure this. It is a double-story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra dreams of her school days. She sees her past self smiling and realizes she is dreaming of the time she was in love. In the dream, she discusses love with Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu. Himena shares a romantic story about stargazing with Hiko. When Himena asks about their own love lives, Alexandra begins crying unexpectedly. She denies anything is wrong, but Himena apologizes for being insensitive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Alexandra Kurusu#Side Story|Alexandra&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, Alexandra&#039;s teacher appears—but he looks like Shigure. Other people appear as Himena and Hagumu. She recalls that her teacher was her math teacher and club advisor. He was strict and had a reputation for being scary. Alexandra remembers how she would complain about him with her classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After club activities, Alexandra wants to practice singing more. She goes to the rooftop and finds the teacher there. He allows her to practice under his supervision. They begin meeting regularly on the rooftop. She learns he does not smoke and is careful about his throat. He mentions that being an adult is not that great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A male classmate confesses to Alexandra. She almost accepts but pictures the teacher&#039;s face and realizes she loves someone else. She rejects the classmate. Later, it rains, and the teacher lends her his towel. She realizes she has fallen in love with him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra begins trying to appeal to the teacher daily. She asks about his relationship status and learns he is single. She indirectly describes him when talking about her type. She leaves a love letter in his shoe locker. He thinks it is a prank but recognizes her handwriting. She keeps trying to convey her feelings, but he never takes her seriously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra&#039;s behavior becomes obvious in class. She eagerly volunteers to answer questions and is overly happy when called on. Her classmates are amazed she can talk to the scary teacher so cheerfully. She learns everyone fears him. She asks why he became a teacher, and he admits his parents were teachers and he had wanted to be a singer but never pursued it. He wonders if there is any meaning to his life. Alexandra feels sorrow and wants him to be happy. She begins planning to improve his reputation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey appears and offers to grant any wish. Alexandra wants to capture the teacher&#039;s heart through her own efforts. She decides not to make a wish yet. She organizes a surprise birthday party for him with her classmates. He is genuinely happy and thanks her. He realizes she planned it. She tells him all the students respect him. He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra continues her jokes and attempts to get closer to the teacher. She jokes about marriage and asks for a date on the school trip. He unexpectedly agrees to go shopping with her for a few minutes. She hugs him in excitement. A classmate spots them on the rooftop. Rumors spread quickly. The principal calls the teacher in. He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra cannot wake up from the dream. She imagines the teacher scolding her for playing with his feelings. She decides she needs to apologize in real life. She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love. She tells him her feelings were not a deception—they were true love. She thanks him for a wonderful time and says she now only places her faith in Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Urara is devastated. She returns to Kamihama and cries to Lavi, who comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Urara receives a message from her manager. A girl named Rei from the diabolo class wants more lessons. Urara agrees to meet her.

===Nayuta&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta dreams of proving folkloric studies superior to Touka, but Lavi wakes her with obnoxious humming. Lavi scolds her for being a deep sleeper and rushes her to school in Takarazaki City, where Nayuta complains that Lavi acts like a stern stepmother rather than a kind maid her age.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In class, a self‑assessment exercise has Nayuta describe herself as quiet and diligent, but her peers call her stubborn, someone who hates losing and speaks her mind. She reluctantly accepts “stubborn” fits her persistent search for her father. The teacher introduces the Johari Window, explaining that without communication people understand themselves at most fifty percent and others only twenty‑five percent—a lesson that sticks with Nayuta.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Nayuta meets Iroha at the train station. Both are surprised the other remembers them. They discover they are the same grade and both hail from Takarazaki, and Iroha mentions she also searched for a lost loved one. Nayuta requests to see Yachiyo, apologizing for her bluntness. Iroha reassures her, noting they are both stubborn junior‑high girls from Takarazaki who came to Kamihama to find someone important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Yachiyo has no new information about Nayuta’s father. Tsuruno has Nayuta show a photo, but no one recognizes him. Felicia suggests Nayuta simply ask Touka, since she also grew up at Satomi Medical Center. Nayuta refuses, saying she cannot trust Touka, and apologizes for her stubbornness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Nayuta admits to Lavi she slept poorly because she cannot stop thinking about Touka. Mikage arrives, upset after a fight with Sudachi: Mikage complained about school, Sudachi said she envied Mikage for being able to attend, and they argued over whose position was harder.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home. Lavi approves of her standing her ground, and Nayuta realizes she and Lavi are more alike than she thought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, classmates who used to bully her avoid her, but Mikage is determined to find Magical Girl friends. Himika tells her about Emiri’s counseling center, so they go there together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the center, Emiri, Sasara, Asuka, and Kanoko are delighted to meet Mitama’s little sister. Mikage explains she is looking for a friend, but Emiri points out they are already her friends. After some banter about fashion, Mikage tries on Kanoko’s outfits and has a wonderful time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mikage wonders if the older girls truly see her as a friend or just as a kid. Himika suggests she meet girls her own age like Ui, Touka, and Nemu, though Mikage is uncertain about befriending the geniuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When she returns home, Mitama warns her that Ui has been kidnapped by Promised Blood and forbids Mikage from associating with the Kamihama Magia Union. Mikage reluctantly agrees but is frustrated her efforts to make friends have been stopped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama leaves for work and Mikage accuses her of hypocrisy—Mitama can spend time with the KMU while Mikage cannot. She runs out, declaring she will find a new big sister. She finds Emiri’s office closed but runs into Rika and Ren, who quickly realize she is Mitama’s sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Mikage bond over fashion and go to some cheap stores, where Mikage realizes she left her wallet. They play a crane game instead, and Rika wins stuffed animals for Ren and Mikage. Mikage asks Rika to be her big sister; Rika declines but encourages her to talk to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory. Kanoko lets her help make a pendant, but before Mikage can convince her to become her sister, Mitama arrives and drags her home. Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any. Later, she finds Mitama has made all her favorite foods, and they reconcile off‑screen; Mikage gives Mitama the pendant she made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage declares she will not give up on making Kamihama Magia Union friends. She then decides that since Lavi and Nayuta are older, they can be her big sisters instead. They exchange a look and agree to treat her for one day. Mikage expresses her hope that someday she and Sudachi can play with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, a magical girl named Livia invited Sudachi to Kamihama, where their work might offer her salvation despite its difficult costs. Sudachi followed her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yozuru plays piano at a pharmacist’s request, impressing everyone, then meets Livia Medeiros and Sudachi Sawa. Sudachi exposes Mifuyu, who decides to introduce herself directly. Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yozuru meets Livia and Sudachi again. Yozuru worries she lacks the kindness to be a good coordinator, but Livia encourages her. Sudachi’s stomach rumbles, and Yozuru prepares snacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yozuru replies that her mother trained her to face worse and declares she will live to the fullest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited again. She jokes about the visitor&#039;s persistence. Yozuru and Sudachi return from stocking up on essentials. Sudachi trips, and Yozuru hesitates to help. Livia instructs Yozuru to help Sudachi stand and dust her off. Yozuru apologizes and explains she is not equipped with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the trailer, Yozuru offers tea. Sudachi wants teacakes. Livia allows them to have some as a treat. Livia reflects that she needs to help the girls mature. Yozuru has lost compassion, while Sudachi needs to find her words. Livia believes they will complement each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is found sleeping and crying. Yozuru gives her a handkerchief. Livia says crying in sleep happens occasionally and is common among Coordinators. She thanks Sudachi for finding her dropped ring. Sudachi sulks when Livia refuses to give her sweets as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the ring is a treasure and a way of reprimanding herself. It is the reason she lives for &amp;quot;Mister Sun.&amp;quot; She says she may tell the full story another time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia shares her philosophy: no matter how awful life is, do not drift in a bad direction or relieve resentment with a curse. Magical Girls are born from hope and must overcome struggles with hope. She warns against corrupting purity and urges supporting those with pure hearts. She says she has said enough for now and will share the rest when she is ready. She asks the visitor to promise to live strong, face forward, and not end up like her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Lil&#039; Kyubey later meets Hazuki and gives her KamihaManju, but Hazuki refuses, saying she is on a diet and does not want Lil&#039; Kyubey contacting her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo loses sight of Lil&#039; Kyubey. She finds a girl with potential who may have received a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and helps fight the Witch alongside Nanaka. After the battle, Nanaka explains Lil&#039; Kyubey followed her into the labyrinth and returned a flower she dropped. Nanaka asks Ryo to tell Lil&#039; Kyubey to stop visiting unfriendly Magical Girls. Ryo realizes Lil&#039; Kyubey avoids girls with potential and is not soliciting anyone. She writes an article correcting her earlier suspicions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui writes a &amp;quot;Lil&#039; Kyubey Observation Journal.&amp;quot; She and Lil&#039; Kyubey wake Tsuruno and Felicia by shouting.

It visits various schools with different Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui finishes her journal. Touka and Nemu read it and use it as qualitative data. They debate whether Lil&#039; Kyubey is mimicking humans or simply reinforcing Ui&#039;s actions. Iroha suggests Lil&#039; Kyubey is supporting them in their efforts to free all Magical Girls. Lil&#039; Kyubey agrees, and Iroha thanks it for accompanying them. She says they will continue together from now on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices.

* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

At home, Kuroe watches a video by Touka Satomi of the Wings of the Magius, who promise a world where Magical Girls no longer need to fight. The message comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kuroe turns in her essay, which suggests separating students who enjoy school from those who do not. Her teacher tries to help, but Kuroe snaps about always having to pretend. She says she is going to die tomorrow and runs off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe dreams of Iroha, though she cannot understand her words. Her Doppel reflects that her contract gave her affirmation of existence, yet she still does not feel like anyone - she simply adapts to whatever situation she is in, resented by no one and dependent on no one, but still wondering who she should be. In the dream, Iroha asks what scares her and offers to figure out who Kuroe is together. Kuroe wakes up wondering why she dreamed of the camping trip, and she calls Iroha, deciding she wants to connect with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroeds&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Doppel Story|Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sasara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara is taken hostage at knifepoint in a convenience store. Despite her desire to be a knight, she is too terrified to act. Though the police arrest the criminal and she is safe, Sasara feels ashamed and hates herself for her cowardice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sasara Minagi#Side Story|Sasara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sasara meets Kyubey and when he makes his offer, Sasara accepts without hesitation. As her father works for an emergency rescue squad, a job she admires, he gave her a favorite picture book about a knight who defeats a dragon to save a village. Sasara carries this book everywhere and has always wanted to be like her father and the knight. She wishes to become a knight who can protect and save people, asking for a stronger heart and stronger convictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Sasara has been hunting witches and saving their victims ever since making her contract. She calls herself the Knight who protects the people of Kamihama, but over time her feelings become tainted. The people she rescues never remember what happened and do not acknowledge her. Sasara realizes she wants someone to appreciate her and questions whether she really wanted to become a knight at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book. She thought she could accept the people she helped not talking to her, but now it feels like she does not even exist. When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nanaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Needs to be re-checked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako to ask for their help fighting a witch they all share a connection to. To explain why she needs them, Nanaka tells them how she became a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka&#039;s father headed a traditional Japanese flower arranging school, but when he fell ill, senior students took over and grew the school&#039;s popularity while abandoning its traditions, shutting out Nanaka&#039;s family entirely. On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform. She decided to lay the Soul Gem with its owner&#039;s body, and when she placed the gem in the girl&#039;s hands, the girl began breathing again. Later, Kyubey explained that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Kyubey asks if Nanaka will tell the others this secret, but she says she is waiting for the right moment. Nanaka then reflects that her true revenge target is actually Kyubey himself. Her power makes it clear he is her enemy, though she does not know all the details, and she is waiting for the right time to turn against him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Nanaka&#039;s team is still unable to find the witch. Akira reports meeting a magical girl mercenary. As the girls plan their next move, Nanaka muses about how she is gathering the determination of magical girls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Re-check.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuku enjoys time with her friends but feels disconnected from them and uncertain about her future. She finds comfort in Fūnī, a traveler who visits her family&#039;s cafe and shares his dream of finding a place to belong. When he invites her to search with him, she feels hopeful that she will not be alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* As a magical girl, Shizuku gains the power to connect spaces, allowing her to travel the world much like Fūnī once did. She continues her search, taking jobs from an unknown magical girl who pays her to use her power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day after a job, Yachiyo Nanami, Tsuruno Yui, and Iroha Tamaki approach her. Iroha invites Shizuku to their house, where she meets Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba. She stays for dinner and overnight, observing how the five girls live together like a family. Yachiyo invites her to stay as long as she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku realizes the other girls have found their place to belong, but she understands that her own place was with Fūnī. She cries as his last words finally make sense to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, Shizuku ends her arrangement with the unknown magical girl and returns to Yachiyo&#039;s house, hoping she can stay there. When she arrives, the house is empty, and she sees the personal items that mark each girl&#039;s place. Overhearing them return, she realizes their home is complete with five people and she does not belong there. She leaves quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and the others had prepared a welcome party with cake, but Shizuku never comes. Yachiyo senses that Shizuku might disappear if you look away and admits she should have seen this coming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku returns to the unknown magical girl and asks for more work. When asked why she came back, she says their picture was complete with five people and she must keep searching for where she belongs. She mentally apologizes to Yachiyo, knowing her actions will cause disaster but feeling unprepared to take responsibility. She wonders if she will ever find solid ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Akira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After Nanaka and Sasara contracts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Akira wakes from a dream about being attacked by a familiar and finds Sasara Minagi nearby, who is out for a walk. Sasara offers to help Akira search for an old man&#039;s lost cane, recalling she saw children playing with a red cane, and the two head off together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akira Shinobu#Side Story|Akira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akira reflects on her upbringing in her father&#039;s karate dojo, where she learned to always help those in need and earned the neighborhood nickname &amp;quot;Troubleshooter&amp;quot; starting at age six.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira started middle school, a girl asked her to be a bodyguard against a stalker. The girl brought her to a park, confessed her love, and admitted to lying about the stalker. Akira politely rejected her, saying she didn&#039;t know much about that sort of thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Akira learned the girl had vanished and spent days searching for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day Akira found the barrier, she retraced the girl&#039;s steps in the park and stepped into a witch&#039;s labyrinth. She found the missing girl among blank-faced victims marked by a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Kyubey appeared, explained about witches and magical girls, and offered a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Familiars attacked and overwhelmed her despite her karate training. Injured, Akira wished to save all those people, transformed, and destroyed the familiars.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, none of the victims remembered the incident. Kyubey told Akira she needed to defeat the witch itself, which became her destiny as a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a magical girl, Akira patrolled Kamihama investigating witch-related incidents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day, she encountered a familiar without transforming and dropped her Soul Gem. Unable to retrieve it, she fled the barrier and collapsed unconscious outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira woke, Nanaka Tokiwa introduced herself as the magical girl who found her and picked up her Soul Gem. Nanaka advised withdrawing since Akira had collapsed, and Akira reluctantly agreed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Nanaka called asking for a favor. When they met again, Nanaka requested a duel, claiming Akira was weak and should quit hunting witches. Akira refused, citing her family&#039;s dojo, and they dueled. After some fighting, Nanaka ended the duel and apologized. She explained she wanted to test Akira&#039;s resolve and invited her to work together as a team. Akira relented after Nanaka claimed she was troubled and couldn&#039;t fight witches alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present day, Akira returns the cane to the old man and thanks Sasara. She reflects on meeting many magical girls since joining Nanaka and wonders how many exist in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Manaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes Manaka cooking at her family&#039;s failing restaurant, Walnuts. She dreams of following her father&#039;s footsteps as a chef and believes that gaining admission to the prestigious St. Lillianna Academy will help her cook like a high class lady and restore the restaurant&#039;s popularity. Kyubey notes her poor grades make passing unlikely, but Manaka insists this is her father&#039;s last chance and resolves to study.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Manaka Kurumi#Side Story|Manaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Upon starting at Mizuna, Manaka visits the student council and offers to cook for an upcoming joint assembly with St. Lillian. The council dismisses her, explaining they already arranged a chef.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Walking home, Kyubey again offers a contract. Fed up, Manaka accepts but wishes not for the restaurant&#039;s success, but for a chance to spread their restaurant&#039;s flavors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the assembly, Manaka begins selling popular bentos at school and works as a visiting chef at St. Lillian every Thursday.

Meanwhile, her father receives invitations to tour as a chef and seems genuinely happy traveling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt; Manaka questions why she even bothered trying.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Manaka finishes selling bentos and keeps one for herself. Sana Futaba rushes in, upset at arriving too late.

Sana accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana promises to arrive earlier tomorrow, but Manaka reveals this may be her last day selling bentos. She admits she thinks she made her restaurant even more obscure, and if she is not helping it, she sees no point in cooking. Sana tearfully confesses that Manaka&#039;s bentos became the only thing she looked forward to during lonely lunch breaks. She insists Manaka should not quit because she is still making people happy. Seeing Sana smile gives Manaka new motivation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After contracts of: Kako, Manaka&lt;br /&gt;

* A documentary crew follows Ria Ami, whose natural beauty causes crowds to part, though she admits she has no basis for comparison when asked about her challenges. Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ria asks Manaka to be her bodyguard while buying the magazine featuring her article, wearing sunglasses to avoid being seen. Inside, she discovers her article occupies only one page, while Yachiyo has an eight-page spread.

Hazuki and Ayame try it and say it&#039;s bad, but it&#039;s edible. Konoha is excited that someone could actually eat her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ayame returns home to find Konoha cooking again. Hazuki observes that Konoha has found joy in the act of cooking. Konoha narrates that she learned cooking is about heart, and could now make food people could finish. She thinks cooking is fun, though Ayame and Hazuki sometimes scream loud enough to startle the neighbors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Konoha attempts beef stroganoff, a dish Hazuki admits is difficult. Hazuki and Ayame try it and collapse. Konoha says she will redo it. She narrates that experience matters, and wonders what to try next.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hazuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame meet with Nanaka, Meiyui, Akira, and Kako at a restaurant to discuss how to handle situations where both teams target the same Witch. Meiyui proposes a first-come, first-served rule, but Hazuki points out it would lead to disputes over who arrived first. Ayame suggests settling conflicts with rock-paper-scissors, and though Meiyui argues there&#039;s no time for games in battle, Hazuki has them try it on the spot. When Ayame and Meiyui play, Meiyui uses a martial arts technique to change Ayame&#039;s hand, causing an argument between the groups. Hazuki calms everyone down and suggests they go home for the day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hazuki Yusa#Side Story|Hazuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls reconvene at the restaurant. Hazuki proposes a new rule: anyone who uses magic against a Witch gains proportional rights to the Grief Seed. Both teams agree, and Hazuki suggests they gather data by hunting together. They split into mixed teams—Ayame and Kako form one; Hazuki, Akira, and Meiyui another and Konoha and Nanaka stand by to help as needed. After the successful joint hunt, Nanaka meets with Hazuki alone at the restaurant. She reveals she believes Hazuki manipulated the entire situation from the first meeting, noting that her team was impressed with Hazuki&#039;s group&#039;s teamwork but that she herself was more struck by Hazuki&#039;s modus operandi. Nanaka asks why Hazuki orchestrated everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki admits she wanted Konoha, who is introverted, to connect with others and that after the Witch fight, Konoha seemed genuinely happy. She explains her goal was simply to build connections between her group and other Kamihama Magical Girls. Nanaka accepts this and says she&#039;s glad to work with her. Later, Hazuki writes in her notebook that Nanaka is shrewd but fascinating, and she resolves to continue reaching out to other Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ayame&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame encounters Felicia during a Witch fight, and their rivalry quickly escalates when Felicia dismisses Ayame&#039;s challenge to lead the girls to argue and accidentally let the Witch escape. Frustrated by losing to Felicia specifically, Ayame confronts her afterward, and despite Kako&#039;s attempts to mediate, the two insist on settling things through some competition. Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch. Emerging back in the park, Felicia thanks Ayame, and they realize the race was never finished. They resume, but Ayame admits she&#039;s fine with not winning and she has come to accept Felicia as a strong rival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ayamess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ayame Mikuri#Side Story|Ayame&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Masara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro gives Masara cookies simply because she wants to, leaving Masara confused by the gesture. Masara flashes back to their first meeting, when Kokoro had blamed herself for being unable to protect others and Masara told her she should not carry that guilt. Kokoro had asked to stay by Masara&#039;s side, explaining that those words had saved her. In the present, Kokoro asks what Masara is thinking about, and when Masara admits she was remembering their first meeting, Kokoro smiles. Masara does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Masara Kagami#Side Story|Masara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara visits Mitama for magical strengthening, bringing many Grief Seeds with her. Mitama notes her unusual enthusiasm, and Masara explains she wants to get stronger in order to find something that might change her life. Mitama suggests she try attending a summer festival and hands her a flyer, but Masara shows no interest. When Mitama brings up Kokoro, mentioning that Kokoro has talked about her, Masara insists they are merely working together, not friends, and finds Kokoro&#039;s expectations troublesome. Mitama claims Masara is actually worried about Kokoro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara reflects on her childhood, remembering how her parents had her swim from a young age. Despite showing talent, she never felt any joy or sense of accomplishment, though she continued hoping it might eventually change. It never did. She became a magical girl thinking her dull life might finally become interesting, but even that eventually grew boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead. The Witch targets Kokoro, and Masara injures herself by blocking the attack. The Witch escapes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro apologizes, but Masara claims she only did what was most logical, since the Witch could not have been defeated alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Masara keeps flashing back to the moment the Witch attacked Kokoro whenever she looks at her injury. The recurring memory bothers her, though she does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Kokoro offers to hunt the Witch again with Masara. Masara flashes back to the previous fight and insists she will hunt it alone. She tells Kokoro she is a burden and that she does not like getting hurt. Masara leaves Kokoro crying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara tells Mitama what happened. Mitama suggests Masara was actually trying to protect Kokoro. Masara is at a loss and wonders why being around Kokoro causes her to get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro blames herself for causing Masara trouble. She senses the same Witch and, respecting Masara&#039;s wish to hunt alone, decides to fight it by herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help. Masara agrees and tells Kokoro to call her next time. When Kokoro worries about causing trouble, Masara insists she is doing it for herself, because she does not like seeing Kokoro get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro asks if she can call Masara during lunch. Masara says she does not care either way. The two go to Mitama&#039;s place together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro notices the summer festival flyer and asks if Masara is interested. Masara admits she is a little interested. Mitama laughs and says they can look forward to the future when there is something or someone important. Kokoro and Masara are confused by her comment, which exasperates Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks to herself that Masara will become stronger now that she has something to protect. For the first time, Masara finds herself thinking about the future, though she does not know why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Konomi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi welcomes Kaede and Kako to the flower shop where she works part-time. She began working at Blossom because the florist once comforted her as a crying child with a single flower, and now Konomi does the same for other children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konomi Haruna#Side Story|Konomi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a customer leaves, Kaede and Kako help the florist carry supplies. The florist recently returned from the hospital, having survived a serious illness. Konomi remembers the day she found an ambulance outside and learned the shop might close. Desperate to help, she wished to Kyubey to cure the florist&#039;s illness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;!--The Flashback: Their First Meeting--&amp;gt;Kaede and Kako visit the shop for the first time. Kako searches for a specific flower, which Konomi identifies. During tea break, Kako explains she read about the flowers in a novel and wants to buy some for a friend&#039;s birthday. Kaede admits she has never given flowers but receiving them once felt wonderful. Konomi smiles and says she has an idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of the flower giveaway, Konomi, Kaede, and Kako take to the streets, suddenly appearing to hand bouquets to strangers before disappearing. A lottery winner, a despairing old man, and a boy who just got a girl&#039;s number all receive flowers. Later, the girls reunite. Kaede gave to ten people, Kako to thirteen. Konomi apologizes, but they agree to try again the day after tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, before their next giveaway, a girl asks Konomi about the Bursting Flower Girl, a rumored figure who appears on Tuesdays and Thursdays to hand out flowers that supposedly sprout mouths. Konomi, Kaede, and Kako realize they are the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi panics, fearing they have made people hate flowers. They notice a little girl crying because her mother refused to buy her a toy ring. Konomi offers a flower, but the girl wants a ring. Kako fashions the flower into a ring, and the girl calls it pretty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi realizes they have been giving flowers without understanding what recipients truly want. She decides to create something more meaningful. Inspired by Kaede&#039;s mention of birthday flowers and Kako&#039;s knowledge of flower language, they plan an arrangement that speaks to people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi and the girls create a birthday cake made of fifty flowers, with chocolate and candy inside. The cake incorporates birth flowers so greetings can be communicated through their language. They prepare a fair at the shop to showcase it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi shows the cake to the florist, who gives a muted reaction and announces her retirement, planning to leave Konomi the shop.

The three girls reveal they are Magical Girls, track down the Witch, and destroy it together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Hinano, Emiri, Ria, Manaka, Akira&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Rika is invited to a blind date by Emiri Kisaki, who brings along Hinano Miyako, a girl recently heartbroken. When the boys on the date mock Hinano&#039;s youthful appearance and odd way of speaking, Rika surprises her by defending them. Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her. Emiri and Rika quickly reassure Hinano, with Rika adding that Hinano is actually cool for having been able to confess her feelings—unlike Rika, who never confessed at all and watched her crush end up with someone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri then suggests Rika should make a wish, revealing that she and Hinano are magical girls who each received one wish in exchange for fighting monsters. Rika wonders if this is some kind of game. Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika muses that her wish was granted and she is now dating her crush, yet she feels deeply unhappy. When Kyubey asks what is wrong, she admits that every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens with unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day, Mayu is a third-year student at Mizuna Academy who works part-time at the Kamihama Contemporary Art Museum. When she accidentally breaks the museum director&#039;s cup, her boss handles the situation calmly and kindly. After work, she meets her friend Sayuki Fumino outside the museum, and when Sayuki cannot stay, Mayu&#039;s boss offers to accompany her to an exhibit instead. They later go to a cafe, where Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi are also present. Ria grows increasingly annoyed overhearing Mayu&#039;s conversation with her boss, particularly when he hints at wanting to take her somewhere else and praises her cooking. At home that evening, Mayu cooks for her mother and asks if her father would have eaten her cooking, wondering what life would be like if he were still alive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayu Kozue#Side Story|Mayu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at school, Mayu talks with Sayuki about the sword exhibit. She then heads to work, and after her shift ends, her boss mentions his wife and child are away and invites her out to eat. Mayu declines. As she leaves, she forgets her phone, and her boss rushes to return it, asking again about dinner with growing intensity. Ria suddenly appears and bumps into him, yelling at them for flirting and demanding they sit for a lecture. Mayu&#039;s boss says she ruined it and leaves. Ria warns Mayu that her sweet, innocent air attracts older men and that if things continue, his family will fall apart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home that night, Mayu reflects on the day she learned of her father&#039;s death and on Ria&#039;s words. Kyubey appears and offers a contract. Thinking she does not want her boss&#039;s family to suffer the same hardship her family did, Mayu makes her wish: to stop his family from breaking apart. That night, she narrates that her boss transferred to a new job, and she is sure her wish was granted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later at school, Mayu finds boys have started hitting on her. Ria constantly steps in to drive them off. Before Ria can finish telling Mayu to shape up, they both sense a Witch. The girls reveal they are Magical Girls, and they track the Witch to the museum&#039;s special exhibit room. Sayuki suddenly appears and reveals she is also a Magical Girl. During the fight, Mayu notices the Witch only targets Ria. She asks Sayuki to lend her strength and launches a surprise attack, destroying the Witch. Afterward, Mayu thinks that to protect people she must think clearly before acting, and Ria admits Mayu was more reliable than usual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As a child, Sayuki attends an idol performance with her parents, but when the crowd becomes dangerously wild, she is almost squeezed to death, leaving her with lasting trauma.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayuki Fumino#Side Story|Sayuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Growing up in a happy family, Sayuki develops a deep interest in katanas that creates a gap between her and her classmates. Though they respect her passion, she feels lonely without someone to share it with. This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert. Sayuki believes speaking out is important no matter the outcome and swears to protect the kind people who have been kind to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka. Moka thanks Alina for saving her and says she has now made new friends, resolving to devote herself to exterminating witches and admitting she is only a little afraid of them now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Riko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Sis = Miss K. Check what Exedra says&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Years ago, Riko spent her childhood with a cheerful older neighbor girl she called &amp;quot;Sis&amp;quot; while her parents worked long hours at their family bento shop. They grew as close as sisters until Sis became engaged to marry someone far away. When Sis&#039;s father suddenly opposed the match despite approving it before, Riko wished upon Kyubey that everyone would give their blessings to the marriage. Her wish worked, and Sis moved away happily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Riko Chiaki#Side Story|Riko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Riko struggles with loneliness waiting alone at home while her parents work overtime. One night, after they call to say they cannot return until after midnight due to a huge order, years of broken promises finally overwhelm her. She snaps, calls them liars who were never there for her like Sis was, and tells them she hates them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko goes Witch hunting to vent her stress but nearly dies against a stronger Witch. In that moment, despair crushes her and she wishes she had never made her wish so Sis would still be there. Tsukasa, a regular at her family&#039;s shop, finds her crying and listens as Riko confides everything about her feelings and what happened with Sis. Speaking from experience, Tsukasa tells her that separation is no excuse for broken contact and recommends she reach out to Sis directly. Riko messages Sis that night before falling asleep exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sis replies promptly. She explains she wanted to contact Riko but left home after arguing with her father and thought a visit would be awkward. She also reveals she was hospitalized to give birth and only discharged that day, inviting Riko to come see her instead. When Riko asks her parents for permission, expecting them to refuse, they apologize sincerely and grant permission for the trip.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Riko visits Sis with her parents. Sis introduces her husband and newborn daughter, hoping Riko will get along with her child just as they once got along. Riko makes a silent promise to be a good sister to this baby and aims to grow into a fine lady, just like Sis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maria&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Maria bids her parents goodbye for the day. Her mother gives her money for dinner, which Maria insists on keeping only a small portion of, and Maria mentions she will be at her part‑time daycare job after school. On her way to school, she runs into two little girls, one of whom attends the daycare where she works.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the daycare, the children swarm Maria with requests. She notices a boy named Shin‑kun looking down and tries to find out what is wrong, but he does not want to talk. Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work. Maria suggests she spend a day with Shin to reconnect, and Shin’s mother agrees. Maria promises to put together a plan by the weekend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Maria’s classmates tease her about being a widow with a love child, and she plays along before explaining she is helping a mother and son from the daycare. Later she presents her weekend plans to Shin’s mother, who is impressed and begins looking forward to the outing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, Maria goes to the park where she knows Shin and his mother should be. She watches as they struggle to connect: Shin wants to play in a fountain, but his mother cannot explain why he should not, and they end up standing awkwardly. Maria pretends to run into them and decides to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to the playground, where Maria encourages Shin to try a tightrope bridge. When he gets nervous, she prompts his mother to take his hand, and together they cross. After lunch, Shin’s mother gets a call from work asking her to come in on her day off. She agrees, and Shin looks heartbroken. Maria offers to watch Shin until dark, and his mother gratefully accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria takes Shin to various places, and he sadly remarks that his mother is too busy for him. Understanding his loneliness, Maria vows to make the day special. At the aquarium she convinces him to see a show he ends up loving. As evening falls, they stop for takoyaki, and Maria explains that his mother tells him not to eat while walking for good reasons. Shin finally understands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shin’s mother appears, explaining work no longer needs her. She admits she has trouble expressing herself, but Shin overhears and hugs her. They both confess they thought the other did not love them. Maria shares that she was often lonely as a child but still loved her parents, and she tells Shin’s mother she does not need to be perfect. Shin shows his mother the souvenir and the last piece of takoyaki he saved for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As darkness falls, Maria walks home alone. She reflects on whether she could ever be a good mother, remembering Kyubey’s revelation that her Soul Gem is her actual soul and her body is merely a vessel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mel&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mel stays home after her reading warns of lethal danger, but Kanagi dismisses her concerns and drags her to school anyway. On the way, a Witch targets only Mel before escaping, and a possessed car then attempts to run her down. She flees west into the Mizuno region, where Yachiyo saves her. Despite Kanagi&#039;s warnings about discrimination from the West, Yachiyo&#039;s kindness puts her at ease, and Mel accepts her invitation to stay. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she requests to join Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kanagi gives permission. From that day, Mel bonds with Mifuyu, Tsuruno, and Momoko as part of her new team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One other day, Mel arrives excitedly with entirely positive readings and offers to read the team&#039;s fortunes. Despite Yachiyo&#039;s skepticism, Mel coaxes her into a session predicting a career breakthrough.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Yachiyo announces with disbelief that she was chosen for a nationwide magazine feature on Kamihama&#039;s cafes. Mifuyu and Momoko then receive positive readings about a matchmaking and exam results.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes. Afterward they visit Mitama, who suggests they train in Endless Mirrors if they plan to remain independent rather than join Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Temari and Mikura commute to school exhausted. Temari stayed up testing a new metal pen, and Mikura correctly guesses she is in modern literature mode.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Temari is distracted thinking about Witch strategies while Mikura worries about Seira, who had fallen asleep in class from exhaustion. Seira joins them, and Temari suggests they create their own space to escape the stress of magical girl life. Seira proposes forming a school club where they can pursue their hobbies freely, and they agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Seira secures an empty classroom as a provisional club room under the name Historical Research Club. On paper they study history, but in reality it becomes their oasis for reading, watching films, and relaxing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the girls are enjoying their club activities, yet Temari still feels unsettled about not knowing her magic. Mikura reflects that they have been following Temari’s suggestions lately—staying independent, creating the club—but says she will mention it if she notices anything. When Mikura asks what Temari is reading, Temari replies she is still on the same author, and Mikura calls her as unpredictable as ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Hotori&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Last part is after the tea drinking moon party&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hotori and her twin Rion prepare for a school camping trip. Hotori gets distracted watching her favorite sentai show, Dragoon Red, and Rion teases her for still liking children’s fantasy. Hotori wants to bring her notebook of heroic quotes, but Rion tells her not to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At camp, Hotori’s group hikes through the forest. She is frightened by insects, and when Rion appears and drives her friends away, Hotori ends up scolded for letting her sister interfere. Reading quotes from her heroes, she manages to calm herself and finishes the hike feeling she has changed a little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During archery, Hotori struggles to pull the bowstring but remembers Dragoon Red’s words about perseverance and manages to shoot. Rion performs better, but Hotori’s friends cheer her up. Rion later mentions the night’s test of courage, and though Hotori is scared, she refuses to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

There Hotori realizes she left her notebook behind; Rion goes back to retrieve it but does not return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotori lies to the teachers and searches the forest. She finds Kyubey, who offers her a contract: any wish in exchange for becoming a magical girl who fights witches. When she finds Rion acting strangely, Kyubey explains Rion has a witch’s kiss. Rion enters a witch’s barrier, and Hotori follows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Terrified but thinking of Dragoon Red’s words, Hotori makes her wish: “I wish to be a hero strong enough to protect Rion.” She defeats the witch alone, saves Rion, and is relieved when her sister wakes up safe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Months later, Hotori now fights witches with a team. During one battle she freezes and is saved by Rion and Yukika Nanase. Yukika asks about Hotori’s notebook, and Hotori explains she wants to be brave like the sentai heroes. Yukika privately knows the truth from another timeline: the twins’ memories were altered by Rion’s wish, and Hotori’s original wish may have been to become strong enough to protect Rion. Hotori, unaware, continues striving to be a hero.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Riko’s parents give Ashley croquettes as thanks. Watching Riko with her family makes Ashley homesick. She confides that her mother is an actress who often visited Japan, sparking Ashley’s love for kawaii culture. Her father opposed her studying abroad without explanation, so Ashley wished for his approval with Kyubey and became a magical girl. She feels guilty about it now. Riko suggests she make a vlog of her time in Kamihama to show her father how happy she is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ashleyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ashley Taylor#Side Story|Ashley&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The teddy bear falls over, and she takes it as a sign to honor his last words: to do what she loves most in the place she loves so much.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ashleyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ashley Taylor#Side Story|Ashley&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Ikumi explains how in middle school she dreamed of becoming an idol despite lacking talent, while her friend Yumi dreamed of volleyball. They realized they could fulfill each other&#039;s dreams instead. Yumi became a volleyball ace while Ikumi pursued idol training, though she struggled because her natural personality kept slipping through her cutesy act and she failed to gain recognition. Kyubey repeatedly offered her a contract, but she refused because wishing for her dream would mean she never achieved it through hard work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In high school, Ikumi worked at a school-organized maid cafe that gave struggling students performance opportunities. Though other girls were scouted for idol work and customers called her old-fashioned, she built a small fanbase. When the cafe was forced to close due to building eviction, Ikumi grieved alone on the final night. Kyubey appeared and reminded her that her wish didn&#039;t have to be for her own dream. Thinking of how much the cafe meant to her and others who dreamed there, she wished for it to continue running.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her wish came true when the landowner, moved by the final performance, sold the cafe to the school who remodeled and reopened it. Later, while fighting a witch, Ikumi was saved by another magical girl who turned out to be Yumi. Yumi revealed she had wished for someone to recognize Ikumi&#039;s talents and give her an idol chance. The two teamed up and spent a happy year together hunting witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day they encountered a powerful witch who badly injured Yumi&#039;s leg, threatening her sports scholarship. In despair, Yumi unleashed her doppel. Ryo appeared and helped them escape, and Mitama later explained about doppels. Soon after, Mifuyu approached them with a healer who restored Yumi&#039;s leg. Mifuyu explained about witches and the Wings of Magius, who aimed to liberate magical girls from this fate. Ikumi immediately joined, grateful for Yumi&#039;s healing and hating the thought of losing her dream or becoming a witch. Yumi eventually joined too, and Mifuyu introduced them as Black Feathers to Ryo, who recognized Ikumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Ryo thanks Ikumi for her story and suggests she stop forcing the idol personality since she naturally slips out of it anyway.

===Akari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari wakes Hotaru after school. Hotaru notices Akari&#039;s Puchi-Usa keychain, which Haruto drew for her when she was young. Akari decides to tell Hotaru about her wish and how she became a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akari Mai#Side Story|Akari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari explains that she has always loved Haruto, but he treats her only as a little sister. When Haruto entered high school, he stopped walking with her due to club activities. Akari heard a rumor that Haruto was dating his club manager. Distressed, she wished to Kyubey to become 16 years old like Mimiko-chan, the transforming heroine she admired.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her wish only allowed her to transform temporarily. She turned back into an elementary schooler afterward. Akari regretted not wishing for everyone to perceive her as 16 from the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The bunny Nene died. Akari cried. Haruto came to give her a new Puchi-Usa keychain but hid it when he saw her crying. He comforted her and told her it was okay to cry. Akari loved his kindness and subtle thoughtfulness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari ran into Haruto while patrolling. Haruto was looking for the 16-year-old girl. Akari became jealous and badmouthed her 16-year-old self, calling her suspicious and a liar. Haruto got angry at Akari for speaking ill of someone she did not know. Akari ran away, feeling she was not worthy of him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari hid in an alley. Haruto came looking for her. A Witch appeared, and Haruto was under another Witch&#039;s Kiss. Hotaru appeared and caught Haruto with a pillow before he could jump. Hotaru and Akari defeated the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotaru revealed she had been watching over Akari since the bunny hutch. She told Akari that her kindness was one of her good points. Akari realized the 16-year-old version Haruto fell for was still a part of her. Hotaru encouraged her to apologize properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari, still in her 16-year-old form, lied to Haruto that she had taken Akari under her protection. Haruto was relieved and admitted he was too harsh with Akari. He said he did not want her to become someone who speaks ill of others. Akari apologized to Haruto in person. Haruto forgave her and said he was proud of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari resolved to become a wonderful adult on her own, without magic, and capture Haruto&#039;s heart when she was truly 16. She thanked Hotaru for giving her the push to apologize but Hotaru fell asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ryoko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryoko’s story begins at Suitoku Temple, the Tokime Tribe’s base, which was slated for demolition while officials hid the harm it would cause.

===Kush&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama’s adjuster shop, Karin Misono finds Kush sleeping inside the tent. Mitama explains that Kush cannot stay awake during the day due to her wish: “I just want the morning to never come.” Kush reveals she made her wish because she longed to live in a fantasy world like the one in her favorite book, &#039;Good‑Bye Fable,&#039; and her magical girl outfit resembles the story’s protagonist. Ui Tamaki and Little Kyubey arrive, and Kush briefly attacks Little Kyubey, mistaking him for the Kyubey she despises. Over tea, Mitama notices Kush’s long canine teeth stained red and later receives a message from her sister Mikage about a rumor of a vampire girl in the Hokuyo Mountains. Karin and Kush agree to investigate together, but Kush runs off to her night class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kush can see in the dark and leads them, but she is still sleepy. They find a discarded camera containing a video of Rui Mizuki dropping it and disappearing. When a mysterious sound frightens the others, they accidentally leave Kush behind. Left alone, Kush eats cherry tomatoes and senses a witch. The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one. They also learn that Rui is Kush’s friend; she had filmed Kush entering the barrier before being caught by it. The group later glimpses a white‑haired silhouette and flees, thinking a real vampire might exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Homura Akemi in Magia Record#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is flooded with more memories of her other self preparing for Walpurgisnacht with allies. She wonders if there might be a real possibility for salvation in this timeline, where no one has to be sacrificed. However, she believes it has nothing to do with her. She breaks out of the labyrinth and the dream ends. Kyubey asks if she was curious about what happened to her other self. Homura says it does not matter; she believes in Madoka&#039;s words that her efforts will not be in vain. A new universe is about to be born, and Homura must protect it for Madoka&#039;s sake. Kyubey states they will both forget Madoka, but Homura is determined to never forget her.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new universe where Witches do not exist, Kyoko is surprised to find Sayaka has disappeared. Mami explains the Law of Cycles causes Magical Girls to disappear when they lose hope. Homura cries as she remembers Madoka, but neither Mami nor Kyoko know who Madoka is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka spend the day together in Kamihama, enjoying each other’s company until they encounter Ria Ami, a model and magical girl who has already defeated the witch they were tracking. Ria invites them to tea and later takes them to the fashion district, where she notices that Homura’s attention never leaves Madoka. Admitting her jealousy, Ria says she wishes someone would look at her the same way, and Homura replies that she will protect Madoka. After Ria departs, Homura thinks that even if Madoka does not realize how cool she is, she will still save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart. She also finds Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, who were never supposed to become magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Panicking because she cannot prevent magical girls from becoming witches in this universe, Madoka investigates. She discovers the source blocking her intervention originated when the Holy Quintet first visited Kamihama, and she observes how Touka and Nemu—fated to die in every other universe—are alive and plotting with the Magius to lure Walpurgis Night to hatch Eve. Madoka reflects that their plan, if successful, would achieve what she herself accomplished. Unsure whether to intervene, she decides to investigate further and chooses Iroha as her next focal point, since this is the only universe where Iroha contracted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka observes Iroha’s past and finds the singular difference: on a normal day, Iroha took her usual shortcut but accidentally kicked a small pebble, nearly making her late. This tiny butterfly effect led to Iroha contracting and Ui, Nemu, and Touka surviving, derailing the universe’s fate. Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Oriko sends Kirika to Kamihama under the pretense of buying tea, instructing her to gather information from Mami and other magical girls there. She then takes Yuma to Kamihama herself, leaving her inside a witch barrier knowing Kyoko will come to rescue her. While exploring Kamihama for answers, Oriko nearly dies inside a powerful witch barrier and realizes she needs Kirika&#039;s help to continue.

Sayaka is glad the term is over, Madoka is excited, and Homura admits she will feel lonely without seeing them every day. Sayaka ruffles her hair and says they can still meet over break, whether hunting witches or hanging out. Madoka suggests visiting Mizuna Shrine in Kamihama for New Year’s to draw “Ultimate Fortunes.” Sayaka has other plans but encourages them to go together. After she leaves, Madoka asks Homura if she knows how to put on formal wear. Homura does not, so Madoka invites her to a kimono‑dressing class she found, saying she wanted the two of them to dress up with Sayaka but lacked the courage to go alone. Homura agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class, the instructor dresses them first; Madoka thinks Homura looks beautiful, and Homura calls Madoka cute. When the actual lesson begins, Madoka struggles badly and trips, while Homura learns quickly enough that the instructor says she will have no trouble. Madoka takes a break outside, feeling useless. Sayaka happens by and asks why she wanted to dress up in the first place - to have fun. Sayaka tells her not to overthink; even if she makes mistakes, she will still have the memories.

Kokoro mentions Tsukasa is still looking for Tsukuyo. Madoka wants to help Tsukasa, and Homura agrees. They find Tsukuyo, who has been wandering and dropped something important.

Homura and Madoka take her to the Information Desk to reclaim it. Madoka remembers Tsukasa was last seen near a specific area. They wait there and finally reunite the twins. They also tell Aimi that Hayato wants a warm scarf. Everyone ends up happy. Homura and Madoka reach the goal without regrets. Homura reflects that she does not want the dream to last longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka learns the meaning of &amp;quot;When winter comes, spring isn&#039;t far behind&amp;quot; at the end of December. Just before New Year&#039;s Eve, Madoka asks if anyone has plans for the holiday. Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko and Nagisa meet the teacher and children at the park. The kids immediately recognize Kyoko, so the pair double down on the movie lie. The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the performance, Kyoko and Sayaka use quick‑change costumes while Nagisa sneaks discarded clothes off set. The children are awed by the glowing weapons and effects, explained with lighting tricks and soap bubbles. After the class leaves, the group reviews the footage and decides to keep a copy. Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko returns the props to Sayuki, then visits an aquarium to pass time. As she leaves, she spots the same kindergarteners, detects a witch, and rushes to fight it. She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She is hunting for discounted Valentine&#039;s chocolate. She visits Sugar Plum but finds the chocolate coins sold out. She runs into Kyoko. They keep encountering each other at multiple stores and realize they are both after the same Valentine&#039;s Day exclusive Pink Tapir chocolate coins. They form an alliance to share information and split the chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe (Valentine)#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Valentine Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Pink Tapir station store, a clerk informs them the sale has moved to a new outlet location and gives them a map. On the way, a delivery truck carrying the chocolate coins is possessed by a Witch&#039;s Kiss and goes on a rampage. Nagisa and Kyoko chase it, jump onto the truck, and enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Nagisa uses her forbidden technique to defeat the Witch. The truck and other vehicles are unharmed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the outlet store and buy the chocolate coins. Nagisa reflects on her memory of eating Pink Tapir chocolate coins for the first time at a hospital charity event when her mother was sick. She wonders if this universe&#039;s Nagisa would have had the same experience. She and Kyoko hurry to Mami&#039;s chocolate party. Kyoko reveals she bought a chocolate cake from Sugar Plum for everyone. Nagisa shares her pink chocolate coins. Mami is happy they are getting along. The next day, the chocolate hunt continues. At the outlet store, Ms. Saotome buys chocolate coins for a hospital charity event, continuing the tradition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Ria, Mayu, and Manaka give the sisters their rented beach space, and the sisters end up spending the day with Team Yachiyo in a water pistol shooting match. They have more fun than they expected, but Tsukuyo suffers a heat stroke and is cared for by the group after Tsukasa panics. When Tsukasa tries to repay the favor, Yachiyo jokes that she should quit the Wings of Magius, then smiles when Tsukasa refuses as expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo announces that everyone must complete ten pages of homework per subject per day before they can play.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rena &amp;amp; Kaede (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena negotiates with Yachiyo: if they can finish all three days&#039; worth of homework in one day, they can play at the beach tomorrow. Everyone agrees. They study hard together. Rena suggests a reward system to stay motivated. They shout encouragement like at an idol concert. Yachiyo and Momoko help with difficult problems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They browse swimsuits, but Mitama insists on choosing thoughtfully rather than buying on a whim. They separate briefly, and Mitama runs into Mikage, deflecting questions about what she’s doing.

Instead of buying swimsuits, Mitama brings Momoko back for an adjustment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomuradsSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At registration, Mitama announces all participants must wear swimwear, offering to transform their outfits for free. Homura is surprisingly excited, and Sayaka gets roped into wearing a ridiculous mushroom‑mermaid costume designed by Kanoko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many familiar magical girls attend as participants or catering staff. Hazuki reveals her hatred of worms, Konoha faints from watching bait wriggle, and various mishaps begin piling up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka in her costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The non‑waterproof suit causes Sayaka to be electrocuted by its built‑in fan, but her Doppel activates and saves her. The Doppel drags Yachiyo into the water, and Yachiyo begins water‑skiing using her fishing rod while being pulled around.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura manages to fish up the Doppel and wins the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other&#039;s backs. Homura happily agrees, ending the day on a warm note.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Homura confronts her Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying summer and relying on Madoka’s kindness. The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurads&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura visit a seaside villa on the outskirts of Kamihama. They meet Felicia and her friends briefly. After parting ways, they decide to visit an aquarium. They participate in an accessory-making workshop using star sand. Inside the aquarium, they meet Ashley, an exchange student from the United States, and Riko. Ashley recognizes them as Magical Girls from Mitakihara because she encountered their copies in Endless Mirrors. They chat and learn Ashley is making videos about kawaii things in Japan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Waverider)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After parting ways with Ashley and Riko, Sayaka wants to visit a CD store. She hopes to find rare CDs for Kyosuke. At the store, she reaches for the same CD as a woman. They discover they both use notepads to track CDs. The woman is Takamine&#039;s wife—Takamine was a violinist who passed away. She collects his recordings to show her daughter. They exchange contact information. Sayaka mentions the upcoming flea market.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Sayaka&#039;s group meets Takamine&#039;s wife and daughter. A strong wind blows the daughter&#039;s hat into the ocean. Sayaka and Kyoko transform into swimsuits and ride a surfboard to retrieve it, using Nagisa&#039;s floaty as a distraction. The hat is recovered. Takamine&#039;s wife realizes she lost her notepad. Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while waiting, Nagisa and Riko play with water guns. Sayaka&#039;s group relaxes on the beach. Madoka and Homura find Sayaka&#039;s copy in Mirrors. The copy lures them into a trap, but they manage to get the CD list from her and escape. They send it to Sayaka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring. They plan for future fights: Sayaka will handle Familiars, Madoka and Homura will immobilize the Witch, and Mami will finish it off. Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the team encounters a paramedic and a girl under a Witch&#039;s influence. They enter the Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. The paramedic wakes up and thanks them and the team slips away quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of school after summer vacation, Mami calls Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura to the roof. Kyoko and Nagisa fought a powerful Witch and retreated. They warn the others and the team meets to plan. Kyoko and Nagisa will immobilize the Witch while Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura handle the Familiars. Mami will finish it off with her new firework attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The ext morning, the Witch appears and the team executes their plan. Mami uses a powerful firework attack, which she names &amp;quot;Fiore Finale,&amp;quot; to defeat the Witch. They rescue the captured people. A paramedic from earlier recognizes them and offers to take care of the victims. The team rushes to school but is late.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A taxi driver from the previous encounter sees them and gives them a ride. He thanks them for protecting the town. They arrive at school just in time.

===Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko invites Homura, Mami, Sayaka, and Madoka to the beach using tickets Mitama gave her after another accidental transformation into her magical swimsuit. The group swims, then Kyoko dominates the buffet. They discover a cliff diving spot, where Sayaka, Mami, and Kyoko take turns jumping while Madoka and Homura watch. They agree to return the day after next, since Madoka is busy the following day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kyoko asks Mitama to let her keep the swimsuit form for the summer, then heads to the beach alone.

Ui improves, but a rip current nearly sweeps her away; Kyoko rescues her. Moved by Ui’s determination, Kyoko keeps training her until sunset, and Ui finally masters swimming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully. Later, Kyoko visits Mitama to revert her outfit, explaining she wants to learn swimming properly rather than relying on magic. She trades a Grief Seed for money to buy ramune as payment for a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Eternal Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Momoko Togame (Sanctified)#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi meet again. Mitama shares her realization: her grief has ended. She now wants to make amends and carve a new future for Kamihama. They discuss ideas for the student conference. Kanagi suggests a sports festival. Mitama suggests a festival with food stalls. They joke about romance and love interests. Mitama feels lighter and ready to move forward. She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at the Wings of Magius, Alina asks Nemu to create a rumor for her. She will let it grow, then take it into herself and use it to achieve her greatest goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Touka and Nemu separately sneak to Ui’s room to leave apology notes. They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They first visit Mitama’s shop, where they meet Maria and Konomi. Mikage hands out sweets, crediting Lavi’s teaching, and Mitama permits them to visit the Mikazuki girls after receiving a cake. At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the real world, Tsuruno gives gelato to Ui and Felicia. Ui is absorbed in playing a game called &amp;quot;Little Vacation&amp;quot; on Tsuruno&#039;s phone. The game follows Tsuruno and Felicia as Reindeer Santas traveling to reach the End of the World and the Wishing Star.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia (Special Delivery)#Side Story|Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno uses the Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a hint: &amp;quot;The key is something you don&#039;t know the importance of until it&#039;s gone. This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The girls encourage Tsuruno and Felicia to leave since they were not originally trapped. Tsuruno and Felicia walk out easily. They promise to return once they find a way to free everyone. They leave, having failed to deliver smiles for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Town of Miraculous ☆ Prestidigitations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the next town. They meet Mitama, a magician performing tricks, and twins Rion and Hotori. Mitama attempts to teleport Hotori but accidentally duplicates her. There are now two Hotoris. Tsuruno and Felicia try to help. The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win. The duplicates are left behind. The single Tsuruno who lost is left alone without Reindeer-san #2 or the Okamochi Box. She decides to continue traveling anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; The three Tsurunos reunite and discuss the hints from the Okamochi Box. They realize &amp;quot;three heads are better than one&amp;quot; refers to them working together to solve the Maze Town puzzle. They also realize the key in Maze Town was a &amp;quot;smile&amp;quot;—something Ren had lost along the way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game. Game Tsuruno is surprised, saying the actual people probably do not play the game anymore. They celebrate their success and set their sights on the next town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents. Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia return home and ask to hear the full story, so Yachiyo retrieves the scarf from the time capsule where she had hidden it years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Holy Mami claims she has learned the truth about magical girls from Alina Gray and Touka Satomi and has found a way to save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami has tea with Touka and Alina at a house rented for her by Touka. Mami explains she has not returned to Mitakihara because her priority is releasing magical girls. Touka and Alina offer to lecture her on what she needs to study. Alina grows disturbingly excited discussing van Gogh&#039;s Sunflowers, and Touka lectures at length on mathematics until Alina interrupts. Mami reassures them she will ask for help when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina receives a call from the Amane sisters requesting help with a Witch. Touka asks Mami to assist, explaining she has a lecture to give at noon to recruit skilled magical girls. Mami agrees, reflecting that releasing magical girls requires Grief Seeds, protecting Rumors, and raising Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane waiting for her. They explain the Witch has moved and the Black Feathers are monitoring it. A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Rika and Ren plan for their friends’ Christmas party a week away and promise to spend Christmas Eve together. While looking at options in a magazine, they cannot decide on a place. Ren buys the magazine to think it over, privately hoping to choose somewhere that will make Rika happy, though she doubts whether she truly belongs beside her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ren visits Emiri’s consultation room but finds only Akira and Ria Ami. She explains her dilemma, and Ria takes her around town to evaluate possible locations. They rule out a restaurant, an amusement park, and a romantic cafe, eventually settling on the Minagi Aquarium. Ria is surprised to learn Ren is planning an outing with Rika, not a boyfriend, but Ren leaves feeling confident in her choice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Christmas Eve, Rika attends a party with her school friends. When she mentions she will spend Christmas Eve at the aquarium with a friend, her friends press to join, but Rika refuses. She advises them not to look for boyfriends just to avoid being alone. Later, while walking with her friends, Rika spots Ren chasing after Aimi Eri. She follows and finds Ren comforting Aimi over a misunderstanding involving a boy; the situation resolves without trouble.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Ren waits for Rika, who messages that she overslept with a fever. Ren worries Rika became sick chasing after her the day before. Before she can reply, Aimi finds her, and they go shopping together. Aimi encourages Ren to visit Rika instead of staying apart. Ren goes to Rika’s house, knocks on her window, and insists they spend Christmas together there so Rika can rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Rika hopes they can visit the aquarium another time, and Ren leaves happy to have shared Christmas with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, assimilate them if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumor Tsuruno begins designing the park, adding a merry-go-round, roller coaster, spa, shops, and a cafe. The mascots warn that once the park is complete, she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world. Rumor Tsuruno claims no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she imagines comfort foods with hot pot as the main star, she is reminded of Mikazuki Villa. She brushes it off and completes the park. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Uwasa Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana looks at a Mr. Purrs-a-lot picture book and feels down. Ui notices and asks what is wrong. Sana admits she wants to become a picture book author to help people who are suffering like she once was. She has many ideas but does not know how to write them. Ui encourages her. Sana says she is starting from zero and needs to practice writing. Ui suggests she settle on one main idea. Sana recalls a story about the Rice God from Yachiyo and decides to write a practice story about it.&lt;br /&gt;

* Sana and Ui discuss the main character. Sana models her after Ai, the Uwasa of the Anonymous A.I. She names the heroine Aoi. Sana writes the first part of the story: Aoi leaves the &amp;quot;Land of Beginnings&amp;quot; and arrives at the &amp;quot;Land of Blessings,&amp;quot; where residents constantly fight. Aoi suggests a picnic to help them understand each other. The residents grow closer. Ui enjoys the story. Sana reveals she wants to leave behind proof of Ai&#039;s existence before she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana asks Nemu for permission to use a character modelled after Ai in her picture book. Nemu agrees, saying she is happy Sana wishes to preserve Ai. Nemu advises Sana on how to become a published author: enter contests or approach publishers directly. Sana becomes discouraged when she realizes she would have to interact with people who cannot see her. She leaves feeling hopeless.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana wanders alone, feeling invisible. She helps a girl find a lost ring but is not noticed. She thinks her dream is impossible. Tsuruno, Felicia, and Ui find her, worried because she was not answering calls. Iroha and Yachiyo also arrive. Nemu calls and suggests Sana could use an agent to communicate with publishers, avoiding direct meetings. Sana regains her resolve. Yachiyo tells her not to give up on her dream. Iroha and the others promise to support her. Sana realizes she has a family to help her get back up.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana finishes her first picture book, &amp;quot;A Small Encounter.&amp;quot; The story follows Shana, an invisible girl who is found by Aoi and makes her first friend.

===Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 1 (Flashback/Reflection)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi wakes from a nap and remembers the dream she had when fused with the Kimochi. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words that helped her realize she had not truly given up. Iroha told her that those who have given up do not fight, and that Lavi came to Kamihama because she still wanted to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro (Kimochi)#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects on the hope she once held—a daydream of a peaceful life where magical girls are understood. In that dream, she helped her mother, tended fields with her grandfather, watched Urara&#039;s street performances, and attended exhibitions with Shirogane. She encountered other magical girls: Asahi, Haitani, Kuroda, Urara, and Alexandra. They fought witches together and enjoyed everyday moments. Lavi realized she had locked away this hope because remembering it was painful. But now, through her connection with Iroha and her time with Nayuta, she has begun to see the future again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 2 (Daydream/Desired Future)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi dreams of a happy future where the Automatic Purification System has spread and peace has come. She, Nayuta, and Mikage go on a trip to Yukuni. They encounter many acquaintances: Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and Mikazuki Villa. Due to a scheduling mistake, everyone arrives at the same inn on the same day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** There is not enough premium beef for dinner. The groups compete in hot spring table tennis, karaoke, and pillow fights to decide who gets the meat. Yuna cheats in table tennis and is disqualified. The karaoke machine is outdated. The pillow fight becomes chaotic. Asahi saves the day with gibier meat. Everyone shares the meal and enjoys the evening together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects that this bustling, noisy future is unlike her usual self, but she realizes she has been yearning for it deep down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 3 (Reality/Current Time)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi teaches Nayuta cooking. They discuss their futures: Nayuta wants to study magical girls at a university different from her father&#039;s. Lavi wants to help at her family&#039;s inn while spreading magical girl activities. They plan a trip with Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Upon arriving at Cradle of the Earth in Yukuni, they encounter Mikazuki Villa, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and the Tokime Clan—just as in Lavi&#039;s dream. There is again not enough meat for dinner. Lavi is overwhelmed but also excited. She realizes that even if the past cannot be undone, they can move forward together and create a bright future. She announces they will compete over the meat and create a new future with all of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Yachiyo wakes at Mikazuki Villa and briefly senses Iroha&#039;s magical signature before it disappears. She sends Felicia and Sana off to school, then meets Momoko, Rena, and Kaede for lunch. Rena confesses she screamed in class, unable to contain her frustration that everyone has forgotten Iroha. Yachiyo realizes she had convinced herself she accepted Iroha&#039;s disappearance but had actually just given up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo meets with Mifuyu, Kanagi, and Hinano to discuss Magical Girls&#039; declining mental states. That evening, she finds Sana&#039;s discarded picture book manuscript.

* Yachiyo attends the Kamihama Student Conference results meeting, where Mifuyu notes Rena has improved since seeing Iroha&#039;s signature. Yachiyo receives a call from Tsuruno: Felicia has run away. That evening, Felicia calls, planning to leave Kamihama to escape her guilt. Yachiyo tracks her location and rushes to the station with Tsuruno. Tsuruno finds Felicia, who confesses she cannot forget Iroha. Tsuruno shares Yachiyo&#039;s message: they should say &amp;quot;thank you&amp;quot; rather than &amp;quot;I&#039;m sorry.&amp;quot; Felicia agrees and returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome and Aru lead Yachiyo and Felicia to a location near the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Iroha&#039;s presence is stronger. Yachiyo suggests a picnic there. She leaves for a magazine interview, where she admits Iroha is no longer by her side. Later at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo attempts to make Iroha&#039;s hamburger steak recipe but is overwhelmed by grief and retreats to her room, admitting she fears she is breaking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Preparations for the picnic are underway. Yachiyo reveals her true purpose: she plans to use the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura to bring Iroha back by traveling through the Mirror Witch, even offering to take Iroha&#039;s place. When the others refuse to help, she attempts to go alone. Felicia uses her oblivion magic on Yachiyo and she forgets the plan entirely. Yachiyo continues preparing lunch as if nothing happened. They travel to the Rumor for the picnic. Along the way, Yachiyo asks the others to stop her if she ever loses control and tries something insane, admitting she can act on impulse when she loses composure. She also tells them they are all irreplaceable to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

While waiting for Yachiyo, she ends up having tea with the grandmother, who shares memories of Yachiyo and Mifuyu growing up—their failed surprise party, helping a lovesick university student, and Yachiyo standing up to Mifuyu&#039;s mother after a koto recital. Kanae grows emotional, feeling she only causes trouble compared to them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyoMifuyuStartingOutss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu (Starting Out)#Side Story|Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Two Hands in Harmony|Two Hands in Harmony]]&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. It may already be done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane complain about being overworked as guardians of a Rumor and fear the anger of Touka, Alina, and Nemu. They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - A Taste of Hospitality|A Taste of Hospitality]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko and Ashley help Mitama film a video about her Coordinator services, whre she explains that she adjusts Soul Gems to draw out hidden potential, that she sees memories during adjustments but keeps them confidential, and that she also sells items for Magical Girls. As payment for the video, Riko gives Mitama an origami dog (Mameji) and Ashley gives her blue candy from her home, both of which Mitama puts in a box.&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, Mitama receives many gifts from Magical Girls, including Kokoro, Reira, Mito, Felicia, Ayame, Kako, Yachiyo, Karin, Himika, Rika and Emiri, the last of whom says that when people share their favorite things, it means they want to share what they love with Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama hums happily, which Momoko and Kanagi notice and feel a bad omen. Mitama announces that she wants to share what she loves with everyone and that she plans a party with food that she will cook. She asks Momoko and Kanagi to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;

===Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin|Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One winter’s day before Christmas, Rika and Ren go shopping together. The town has no Christmas decorations and people seem depressed. They hear a distressed voice and find Mitama, wearing a Santa&#039;s beard and hat, and she introduces herself as a Christmas Spirit. Mitama says her job is to make everyone happy, but the task is too big. She gives Rika and Ren some of her magic, explaining that the magic requires them to be perfectly attuned to each other, and then she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, a swallow Familiar appears, claiming to be Mitama’s pupil and Rika names him Chirpie. Chirpie explains that Mitama saved him when he fell from his nest and gave him magic. He can sense cowardly hearts lacking courage and Rika and Ren must drive out ten cowardly hearts to make the town happy. Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chirpie leads them to Felicia and Sana, who had accidentally smashed a cake and are now arguing about who should apologize to Yachiyo. Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;

===Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines|Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 13th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mitama is away from her shop, but Tsuruno is there, using the kitchen to make chocolate bonbons with a friend. She plans to surprise everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard.

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Rise of the Waning Moon|Rise of the Waning Moon]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day during lunch break, Kanagi goes to Himika’s classroom, telling her she just wanted to see her face, which Himika finds strange.&lt;br /&gt;
** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;

She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river.

Tsuruno volunteers the group to help until the staff arrives. Yachiyo worries they might cause trouble, but Iroha, Ui, and Sana want to try. They agree to help. Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the next day, the group arrives at the pool for opening day. Yachiyo handles reception. The ticket scanner malfunctions and a line forms. Mitama appears—she had plans with Iroha that were canceled. She offers to help and fixes the scanner by hitting it. The staff member returns and takes over.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama notices Yachiyo has something on her mind and suggests she talk to someone she trusts. Iroha later asks Yachiyo to help with a crowded lunch area. Ui is taking orders with Sana&#039;s invisible help making drinks.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral. Yachiyo admits she was worried about everyone but sees they are doing fine. Iroha tells Yachiyo it is okay to worry because she cares, and they can solve problems together. Iroha notices Yachiyo has been down and offers to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
** A foam machine malfunctions, spewing foam everywhere. A guest slips and falls. The group splits up to clean the foam and help guests. Mitama fixes the machine with a whack. The support staff arrives. The girls finally have time to enjoy the pool.&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models. She does not know what to post and is shy about taking selfies. Iroha suggests posting photos of herself and takes pictures of Yachiyo on a float with the sunset. Yachiyo is embarrassed but agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Tsuruno want a turn on the float. Everyone climbs on, and Mitama takes a group photo just as they all fall into the water. Iroha loves the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the pool photos are popular online. Yachiyo&#039;s manager says going to the pool was a good move. Yachiyo thanks Iroha and says she might take her up on being her photographer again. She sends the group photo to everyone. Iroha says the photo may not be &amp;quot;social media-worthy&amp;quot; but it captures who they are. They agree to go back to the pool again—summer is just getting started.&lt;br /&gt;

** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo too formal and uptight, while Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukuyo was devastated.

* The next day, Hazuki&#039;s team confronts Nanaka. They were forced to defeat the Boss Witch because of the &amp;quot;duty&amp;quot; clause. Hazuki says Nanaka played them. Nanaka admits she knew they could do it. Hazuki says they have scores to settle. Hazuki also mentions the Witch was strange, like it was being manipulated.

===Kako Natsume&#039;s Heartphial Story: N&#039;s Confession===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kako Natsume reflects on her life. She lost Natsume Books and her peaceful days once. But she is no longer the fearful girl she used to be. She is a girl who can choose to protect what is dear to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kako is 13 years old. Her parents run Natsume Books, a used bookstore. Books are a huge part of her life. One day, she sees Nanaka loitering by the mailbox, looking distressed. Nanaka drops a letter in the mailbox and runs off. She tells Kako to read the letter. Kako remembers the words &amp;quot;Kill her&amp;quot; and wonders why.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako recalls her past. Her family was not wealthy, but they were happy. Her father recommended books, and her mother helped her study. Then tragedy struck. A riot over land grabs broke out. Harassment of those who objected got worse. Discord grew within the community and even within their home. Her father was wound tight. Then their house was set on fire. Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
** She met a girl named &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; N told Kako who was responsible and what she needed to do to destroy them. Kako clung to her. She later learned N was manipulative and saw others as pawns. Kako hates N and wants revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found herself in a Labyrinth. Nanaka fought off Familiars but was overwhelmed. Kyubey offered Kako the chance to become a Magical Girl. Nanaka told Kako through telepathy to decide for herself what she wanted. Kako realized she hated feeling helpless. She wished to see her family smiling again and to get Natsume Books back. She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kako learned Nanaka faked her struggle to entrap her into making the wish. Nanaka had pulled this trick on others to use them as pawns. Kako could not forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako and Nanaka fought Witches together. Nanaka encouraged Kako and told her she was better suited to being a Magical Girl than Nanaka was. Kako wanted to get stronger. Nanaka wrote a letter confessing her deception and asking Kako to kill her. Kako made up her mind to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka. She returned it unopened, saying it seemed wrong to read something Nanaka only sent by accident. Nanaka smiled and said Kako was dazzling. She said she would try to tell Kako her feelings in person someday.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako thinks Nanaka overestimates her, but she is no longer as scared and helpless as she used to be. She is a Magical Girl who protects the city by Nanaka&#039;s side.&lt;br /&gt;

===Himika Mao&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Lucky Break Lost &amp;amp; Found===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

** Mitama suggests having Himika&#039;s father call the subcontractor to track down the pouch. Himika&#039;s father does so. The company says they will search for it.&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Rena calls Himika. She saw the Baby Bunny pouch in a crane game at an arcade. Himika, Kako, Ayame, Rena, and Kaede go to the arcade. The pouch is in the replenishment case, meaning Himika must win all the Mocha Bunnies already out to reach it. Himika decides to use a strategy but is short on money.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika observes other players to learn techniques, calling it &amp;quot;crane training.&amp;quot; She strategizes to create an avalanche by knocking down piles of plushies. She successfully clears most of the machine. The staff restocks the machine, placing the pouch inside surrounded by four giant Mocha Bunnies.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika aims to move two bunnies out of the way to reach the pouch. She successfully clears the pandas and one bunny. She realizes there are two Baby Bunny pouches, not one.

Rika finds her and calls her instead of opening the door. Rika explains she wanted to surprise Ren. She gives Ren a set of 12 colored pencils with a carved lily of the valley on the case. Ren cries and thanks her. The bear cub looks up and sees the Spirit of Light smiling at her. Her world is once again filled with light.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren buys another colored pencil. She notices the name is &amp;quot;Blue Sky&amp;quot; instead of &amp;quot;Sky Blue.&amp;quot; She hears a voice talking about the Rumor of Parallel Memories. She feels dizzy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren dreams she is dead. She cannot see or touch her parents. They mourn her suicide. She never became a Magical Girl and never met Rika. She watches her friends go to the teddy bear exhibition without her. She is invisible. She feels awful and wants to go back to the land of the living. She remembers the colored pencil with the different name—that must be the proof of another world. She holds it and wishes to live. She wakes up. It was all a dream. Rika messages her to join everyone for snacks. Ren goes to meet them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren finishes her bear story. The gatekeeper asks the bear cub if she has any regrets. The bear cub says yes. She wishes to leave behind her journal, filled with entries about the Spirit of Light and all the sparkles she showed her. The gatekeeper opens the gates. The bear cub does not say goodbye because she knows she will see the Spirit of Light again someday in the World of Light. Ren realizes the bear cub is reborn, just like she was when she met Rika and her friends. She can live in a world full of color.&lt;br /&gt;

* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Riko Chiaki&#039;s Heartphial Story: Worked Out with a Woof===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki reflects on her life. Even though her mom and dad were hardly home because of work, she never felt lonely as long as Miss K was around. She cared about her so much that she just wanted to help her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback) Riko helps out at her parents&#039; bento store. She is close with Miss K, the daughter of the hardware store owner next door. Miss K has always been like a big sister to her. Miss K cries to Riko that her father opposes her marriage because he does not want her to move far away. Riko wishes to Kyubey for Miss K&#039;s marriage to be accepted. She becomes a Magical Girl. Miss K gets married and moves away. Riko misses her but does not regret her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Riko goes filming with Ashley. She tells Ashley about Miss K. She explains that Miss K&#039;s father never fully accepted the marriage, and they have not made up. Riko receives a message from Miss K saying she was in the hospital because she was pregnant. She invites Riko to visit her new house. Riko goes and meets the baby. Miss K asks Riko to be friends with her child. Riko becomes like a big sister to the baby. She feels happy that her wish came true but is sad Miss K and her father never reconciled.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko walks Mameji and sees Miss K&#039;s father standing outside the hardware store, looking sad. She wonders what is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley advises Riko to ask Miss K directly if she wants to make up with her father. Riko texts Miss K and asks to meet. Miss K replies that she will come to Riko&#039;s town instead. Riko is excited.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Miss K visits Riko. They talk about her father. Miss K says she wants to make up with him but does not know how. Riko suggests inviting him to meet the baby, giving him a present, or going on a family trip. Miss K doubts any of it will work. They walk to Riko&#039;s store together. They encounter Miss K&#039;s father outside. Riko admits she asked Miss K to come so they could patch things up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Miss K&#039;s father reveals he brought a herbarium to Riko&#039;s store. It was originally meant as a gift for his grandchild, but he could not bring himself to deliver it. Riko realizes Mameji had been guiding her this whole time. Earlier, Mameji had barked at the cake that turned out to be from Miss K&#039;s father. Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky. She realizes she is dying, having protected Yachiyo. She remembers how everyone was fighting for dear life. She wished she were stronger to help them. She is sorry for not being stronger. She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ashley Taylor&#039;s Heartphial Story: Can&#039;t Be Myself Without What I Love===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley Taylor reflects on her life. Studying in Japan is awesome fun. She wants to find more kawaii for her vlog viewers back home and asks her father to watch over her while she pursues her passions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley vlogs with Riko&#039;s help. She films herself shopping for Magical Kirin merch and gurokawa items. After editing and uploading the video, she replies to comments from her followers. She thinks about her father and hopes he is watching.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley remembers the day she wanted to study abroad in Japan. Her father refused without giving a clear reason, which was unusual. Kyubey appeared and offered to grant any wish. Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko notices Ashley seems down. She worries Ashley is overworking herself by vlogging daily and replying to comments late at night. Ashley says it does not feel like work because she loves it. She thanks Riko for being a kind friend. They go out to film another vlog.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley continues vlogging daily. She worries about skipping a day because her followers might unfollow her. She wakes up to find Kumanosuke missing. She panics, feeling like her world is ending. Riko arrives with a bento and finds Ashley crying. Ashley explains she lost Kumanosuke. Riko comforts her and says it is okay to skip a vlog. Ashley admits she has been using followers&#039; comments to fill the hole left by her father&#039;s death. Riko says she understands loss—she misses her sister who moved far away. They decide to search for Kumanosuke.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko suggests Ashley ask her followers for help finding Kumanosuke. During a live stream, a commenter suggests rewatching her previous vlog. Ashley realizes she left Kumanosuke on a chair when she got distracted by a crane machine. They find Kumanosuke on a shelf at the store, dressed in Waloli Gurokawa clothes. Ashley gets him back. She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

* At the hospital, a nurse tries to convince Touka to eat her carrots. Touka refuses unless her terms are met: she wants specific books brought to her. The books are Hachslingen&#039;s &amp;quot;General Theory of the Origin of the Universe,&amp;quot; Cosinberg&#039;s &amp;quot;Celestial Forces,&amp;quot; and Dadatri&#039;s &amp;quot;Glimmer of the Planet.&amp;quot; She claims no one will hand them over. The nurse eventually gives up on the carrots.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Future Relationships|Future Relationships ~Current Status with Onee-sama~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha arrives, having been called by Ui. Ui admits she asked Iroha to search for the books Touka wanted, having written out the titles for her. Iroha apologizes, explaining she could not find them no matter how she searched. Touka becomes flustered.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu deduces that Touka is acting like Princess Kaguya, requesting treasures she knows do not exist to avoid eating her carrots. Exposed, Touka reluctantly eats a carrot. Nemu thanks Iroha and makes Touka apologize for the trouble. Touka gives a half-hearted apology.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the girls play a number-guessing game. Touka wins five times in a row. Iroha suggests Touka and Nemu call her something more casual. Touka chooses &amp;quot;Onee-sama.&amp;quot; Nemu asks to call her &amp;quot;Onee-san.&amp;quot; Iroha happily agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka eagerly awaits Iroha&#039;s arrival to play Old Maid, noting Iroha has won first place seven times in a row but that her face always gives the game away. Nemu observes to Ui that Touka frequently says &amp;quot;Onee-sama&amp;quot; now, likely because Iroha is her first elder sister. Nemu quietly reflects that Iroha is her first Onee-san as well. Iroha arrives and greets them all warmly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A familiar appears and attacks. Touka is overwhelmed. Iroha arrives and fights it off, guided by Kyubey. She expresses concern for Ui and her friends. Ui realizes it really is her big sister and Touka recognizes Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call|Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wait, You Got It Wrong!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayu Kozue&#039;s most treasured possession is a bear pendant her father carved for her before he died. When a hand-drawn postcard is stolen from the museum where she works, security footage shows her friend Ria at the scene moments later. Mayu cannot reach Ria and suspects a Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~|Wait, You Got It Wrong! / Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While searching for Ria, Mayu encounters Asuka Tatsuki, whose family&#039;s invaluable book of secrets was also stolen. A witness described a blonde girl in a Mizuna uniform—Ria. They find Sayuki Fumino crying over her stolen sword book, then Rena Minami who was bumped by the same girl. At Walnut&#039;s restaurant, Manaka Kurumi accuses Ria of stealing a rice omelet. A Witch barrier appears, and after Mayu and Asuka defeat the Familiars, Ria arrives demanding to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka challenges Ria to a duel over the thefts, and Ria loses. She confesses to something embarrassing, and everyone assumes she means the thefts—but she meant a binder of idol clippings she desperately hopes no one saw. She was only chasing the Witch to recover her own stolen belongings. Relieved, Mayu and Asuka join her. They track and defeat the Witch, recovering most items, but the museum postcard, the dojo book, and Ria&#039;s binder remain missing. They agree to search again tomorrow. That night, Mayu dreams of her father, who tells her material things are destined to break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, thefts continue across the city. Mayu realizes the Witch they defeated was only a Familiar and the real Witch is still out there. She offers her precious pendant as bait to track it. Despite Ria&#039;s protests, Mayu uses it, and they follow the magic trail to the Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After a difficult battle, they recover all stolen items, though Mayu&#039;s pendant is scratched and its chain broken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu is unbothered. She explains that material possessions naturally break, but the memories they hold remain in her heart—a lesson from her father. Asuka and Ria are moved, and Mayu turns to walk home, promptly falls into a lake, and flounders while Ria sighs that she has not changed at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor she calls Miss K. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Miss K with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Miss K&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Miss K to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

* One day at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo, Iroha, and Sana prepare a meal. Felicia reluctantly helps. Tsuruno arrives with a flyer for Suitokuyu, a public bathhouse holding an event as part of a shopping district revitalization plan. She invites everyone to go together. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the bathhouse, they read the posted rules. Tsuruno pretends to be a &amp;quot;bathhouse master&amp;quot; and teaches them. Sana becomes embarrassed about being naked in front of everyone. Yachiyo understands her feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Villa. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;
~A Little Break For Us~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===This is The Warmest Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha is going about her day when Sana, Felicia, and Ui present her with a pinwheel and ask her to blow on it. Though confused by their strange behavior, Iroha does as they ask and the girls thank her before quickly scampering off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~#This Is The Warmest Day Login Special|This is The Warmest Day]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts. When Yachiyo asks Iroha&#039;s opinion, Iroha expresses her love for shortcake and suggests they bake one immediately, but Yachiyo insists she wait for the right moment, which will come sooner than she thinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Lavi is shopping when Nayuta finds her to share news about her math test score. They return home where Lavi prepares dinner, and Nayuta discovers Lavi earned perfect scores in every subject, highlighting the gap between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House|The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day while Lavi runs errands, Nayuta confides in Mikage about her fears that Lavi only respects her father and secretly resents serving her. Seeking answers, Nayuta visits Mitama, who suggests that kindness and broad-mindedness are the traits she needs to develop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Nayuta observes how hard Lavi works attending school, studying, handling housework, and fighting witches. Worried she might collapse, Nayuta offers Lavi time off for her upcoming sixteenth birthday and secretly plans a surprise party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later on Lavi&#039;s birthday, Nayuta and Mikage struggle through cleaning the house and preparing a celebration. Their efforts are interrupted when Lavi returns early for lunch, scolds them for the mess, but leaves again at Nayuta&#039;s insistence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Lavi returns that evening, the handmade kusudama falls onto the cake and catches fire. Lavi extinguishes it with water, and Nayuta is left mortified as her surprise party fails spectacularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Nayuta senses lingering coldness from Lavi and struggles to find the right way to apologize. Remembering her father&#039;s example, she decides to catch and cook a fish as an apology gift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day at a fishing center, Nayuta encounters girls from the Tokime clan who teach her how to gut fish. Despite being disturbed by the process, she perseveres and eventually catches the exact fish she wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning home late, Nayuta discovers a threatening letter addressed to Lavi and deduces it must be connected to the serious trouble from Lavi&#039;s hometown. She rushes to the market street with Mikage to protect her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the market street, Nayuta confronts the man speaking with Lavi, declaring herself as Satomi Tasuke&#039;s daughter to intimidate him. The man reveals he is simply a stalker with no connection to Lavi&#039;s past, and when he becomes agitated, Nayuta tackles him unconscious as a crowd applauds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Nayuta presents the cooked fish and apologizes. Lavi admits she was barely angry anymore and thanks Nayuta for protecting her, acknowledging she was just like her father in that moment. Nayuta produces a second kusudama and cake, and this time the celebration succeeds. As they pick confetti from the cake, Lavi quietly says she will continue to admire Nayuta until the final day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Art 02 01 0003 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune. The Rumor says that if you receive the book and find a drawing of yourself, the sketched event will happen and if you try to stop it, a creature named Ketch drags you into the book. Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Art 02 01 0010 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One summer morning, Mitama is at her shop and she has set up a small café corner called Hot☆Corner. The cat, Doyle, is especially attached to her lately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery|The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day|Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Rumored Temp Counselor===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

===Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away|Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

===Always Waving my Hand at You===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Sakuya wakes from another nightmare about the Futatsugi war, where she killed her best friend. She resolves to continue her undercover mission at Iroha&#039;s school and avoid friendships at all costs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Always Waving my Hand at You|Always Waving my Hand at You / I’ll Keep Waving at You]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ryoko notices Sakuya&#039;s exhaustion and decides something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ryoko tracks Sakuya down at her school, creating a scene about missing shoes that sparks gossip. After learning Sakuya may be engineering her own isolation, Ryoko continues her efforts to help, but Sakuya runs away each time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Ryoko investigates and discovers Sakuya hid her own shoes and started the gossip to isolate herself. Sakuya confesses she killed her best friend in the war and must remain alone to avoid hurting anyone else. Ryoko declares she will save Sakuya by becoming her best friend, and they fight until exhausted. That night, Sakuya dreams of her deceased friend, who thanks her and tells her to move forward. She wakes to find Ryoko collapsed from hunger, and they talk for hours like ordinary friends. Though they agree they cannot meet again until the battles are over, they promise to become true friends then.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the following days, Sakuya returns to normal life by socializing with classmates, sleeping better, and regaining her spirits. Ryoko gains a new goal: to free Sakuya from the things that bind her, once and for all, when the time is right.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls in Kush, who transforms into a vampire and she wins the contest. Natsuki takes second place and Karin takes third place. A commemorative photo is taken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin completes her manga, &amp;quot;The Pumpkin King and the Ghost Servant.&amp;quot; She shows it to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede who praise it, giving it 100 points or more. Kaede appreciates the happy ending. Karin is moved by Kaede&#039;s approval. Manaka arrives with pumpkin pie for a taste test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the Sakae Halloween Festa, Karin arrives at the festival in her Pumpkin King costume. Alina is also present, already dressed as the ghost servant from Karin&#039;s manga. Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head of the executive committee thanks Karin for recommending Alina as the face of the event. Karin reflects on her hope that Alina will one day atone for her sins and reach a happy ending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Shizuka is embarrassed to see her photo distributed around town, but Chiharu reassures her the photo is cute and the experience gave them a happy memory. They spot a feature on the chocolate shop Shizuka visited and decide to bring all the Tokime girls next time.

* Mikage is delighted to see her photo in the newspaper and finds it funny that the article claims she made chocolate with her sister. Mitama suggests it was artistic license. Mikage wonders if she might become famous but worries about sketchy people, and Mitama jokingly offers to beat them up. Mikage asks if they can make real chocolate together, but Mitama needs to go to her coordinator shop. Mikage promises to do things that make her sister smile instead, and Mitama suggests they make Valentine&#039;s chocolate together next year. Mikage eagerly agrees to practice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choc&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Promised Blood&#039;s base, Yuna notices her teammates have been acting strangely, as Sakuya reads romance columns, Juri studies constantly, and Urara stares at Hikaru without speaking. After the meeting, Yuna confides in Hikaru that she feels guilty for not noticing everyone&#039;s exhaustion and decides to solve each person&#039;s problems personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend. Though relieved it&#039;s not her own love life, Yuna insists on helping anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s place, the group brainstorms confession advice. The conversation shifts when Ao receives a text from her parents—she&#039;s been lying to them about her late nights as a magical girl, claiming she&#039;s in an e-sports tournament. To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the online tournament, chaos ensues as Juri attacks teammates, Hikaru sets the kitchen on fire, and Yuna fails at selling merchandise. Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the student council meeting, Yuna honestly requests more time to handle personal matters, promising to dedicate herself fully afterward. The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

==Magia Record Events==&lt;br /&gt;
===See You Tomorrow===&lt;br /&gt;
* One morning at the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira greets an older neighbor who warns her about increasing danger in the area. Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them. The girl agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, finishing the final preparations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day of the school festival proceeds without major incident. Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, sampling food and enjoying the event. They take a photo together at the repaired arch—Tsumugi, Manaka, and the transfer student in her uniform. The transfer student reflects later that she will cherish the photo forever, grateful for the kindness she did not feel she deserved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Autumn of Reading===&lt;br /&gt;
This seems to have been an event without story. Needs to be re-checked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Girls in the Hood===&lt;br /&gt;
* An earthquake strikes the city, and on a rooftop, Jun Kazari drops both her yo-yo and her soul gem while practicing tricks. She chases after the soul gem, while the yo-yo falls into the hood of Mitsune Miwa, a hikikomori watching a performance below. Mitsune decides to return it and runs up the stairs, where she collides with Jun. Jun explains she needs her soul gem, and Mitsune returns the yo-yo. A Witch&#039;s barrier appears around them, and Jun transforms to fight while telling Mitsune to close her eyes. Mitsune peeks, collapses after seeing the Witch die, and Jun carries her outside, claiming it was all a dream. Jun insists on treating Mitsune since she saved her yo-yo, and takes her to a candy store called Tomorrow Shop. Jun introduces her to the children there, and Mitsune is amazed by how loved Jun is. Mitsune must leave by 6 PM, and Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Girls in the Hood|Girls in the Hood]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitsune returns to the shop and sees Kanae Yukino talking with Jun. Mitsune detours down an alley and is caught in a Witch&#039;s barrier. Kanae enters first, and Jun follows to save Mitsune. They defeat the Witch together, and Mitsune wakes in a park. Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop&amp;quot; again, and Mitsune smiles and agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Jun talks to Kyubey about having no friends her own age, while Mitsune researches online and finds rumors about magical girls and the Tomorrow Shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Jun and the shop owner discover that Mitsune is their neighbor. Mitsune asks Jun about what she saw, but Jun says she forgot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitsune later sees Kanae talking to Kyubey and follows her, but is pulled into a Familiar&#039;s labyrinth. Jun saves her, and Mitsune directly asks if Jun is a magical girl. Jun begins explaining Witches, Familiars, and magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mitsune admits she still cannot go to school or make friends. Jun says she also struggles with friends. Mitsune wonders if she should become a magical girl, but Jun yells at her not to. Mitsune leaves upset. Kanae warns Jun that Mitsune has the qualities to become a magical girl, and Jun reveals she is moving away from Kamihama. She used her wish to save the shop, but now realizes other things are more important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Jun tells Mitsune she is moving next week and that magical girls do not have the kind of magic Mitsune dreams of. Mitsune must make her own dreams come true. Jun promises to prove she does not need magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Jun finds that the children and Mitsune went to explore Shinsei Ward without her. She finds them at an abandoned construction site where Mitsune encountered a Witch. Mitsune sent the children away but stayed behind. Jun arrives and uses a homemade bomb to damage the Witch before they escape. A gas leak causes a larger explosion, and they escape on Kanae&#039;s motorcycle. Kanae later destroys the Witch barrier herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Jun says goodbye at the shop. Mitsune arrives crying, and Jun gives her a fake gum toy as a farewell gift. Jun tells her she can become whatever she wants without magic, slowly and little by little, and that if she keeps that happy face, they will meet again. &amp;quot;Someday, see you at the Tomorrow Shop again.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, Jun returns to Kamihama. Despite destruction throughout the city, she decides to go to the Tomorrow Shop and see Mitsune and the old lady again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope 1===&lt;br /&gt;
* At age 12, shortly after contracting, Yachiyo meets Mifuyu and initially dislikes her, but her opinion changes after learning about Mifuyu&#039;s demanding family obligations and when Mifuyu takes a severe wound saving her from hostile Magical Girls. Yachiyo later returns the favor, and they grow closer as Mifuyu begins visiting Mikazuki Manor. They eventually share why they made their contracts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope|Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, they defeat a Witch together that had attacked a girl from the hostel. Yachiyo suggests they train as a team, and Mifuyu accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo thrives through hard work while Mifuyu struggles under her mother&#039;s expectations. After Yachiyo confronts Mifuyu&#039;s mother, she is banned from the household, but Mifuyu gains the freedom to visit Mikazuki Manor regularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon, Yachiyo&#039;s modelling team disbands so she can pursue solo work, causing friction. Mifuyu becomes overwhelmed balancing duties with her mother&#039;s restrictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the same pair of Magical Girls from years ago betrays them during a Witch hunt. One dies and the other escapes after stealing the Grief Seed while Yachiyo and Mifuyu lie wounded. They nearly give up, but saving a girl from Yachiyo&#039;s unit reminds them that protecting others still matters. Yachiyo suggests they exchange letters like her grandmother did to maintain hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;piece&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Seven years later, Mifuyu suggests stopping the letters to cast away weakness, but Yachiyo believes the letters give them strength by carrying others&#039; wishes.

====Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope 2====&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo finds an old photo album while cleaning. She shows it to Iroha, Tsuruno, Sana, Felicia, and Ui. The photos are from seven years ago, when Mikazuki Villa was a boarding house. Iroha notices a girl standing next to Yachiyo and her grandmother—it is Mifuyu with long hair. Yachiyo explains she knew Mifuyu back then and they fought Witches together. Tsuruno is shocked and Yachiyo says they did not leave a good first impression on each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seven Years Ago&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo fights her first Witch. She is scared but determined. Inside the barrier, she finds another Magical Girl crying. The girl is too frightened to fight. Yachiyo tries to cooperate, but the girl runs away. Yachiyo defeats the Witch alone. Afterward, she confronts the crying girl and tells her that if she cannot fight, she should quit. The girl begs Yachiyo not to leave her alone. Yachiyo is harsh but later realizes she is also scared. Both girls cry alone, afraid of being Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo is the leader of her model unit. The other members are starting to trust her. One member, Yellow, still does not approve of Yachiyo as leader. Yachiyo continues working hard. After her lesson, she defeats a Familiar. She encounters Mifuyu again. Mifuyu says she felt the Familiar&#039;s presence but was too scared to enter the barrier. Yachiyo is harsh again, but Mifuyu says she wants to talk properly. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives and invites Mifuyu to a candy store. Mifuyu has never been to one before. She is amazed by the syrup. The grandmother invites her to visit Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s unit has a successful photoshoot. She feels happy. Later, she senses a powerful Witch and enters the barrier. Two other Magical Girls are already fighting it. Yachiyo asks to join them, but they attack her. They say the Witch is their prey and threaten her. Mifuyu appears and says they should cooperate. The other girls ignore her and lure the Witch toward Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Mifuyu protects Yachiyo and gets injured. They escape together and rest in a park. Yachiyo shares her grief seed with Mifuyu. They introduce themselves. Yachiyo learns Mifuyu comes from a strict family with nine lessons. Mifuyu became a Magical Girl to dream freely. They bond over their shared struggles. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to visit again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu visits Mikazuki Villa. She brings sweets. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother shows the album and the magazine featuring Yachiyo&#039;s unit. The older boarders ask Mifuyu for a cute nickname for Yachiyo. Mifuyu suggests &amp;quot;Yacchan.&amp;quot; Yachiyo likes it. That night, a Witch appears near the station. They fight together and save a boarder from Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo suggests they team up because they are both weak and will become stronger together. Mifuyu agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Yachiyo and Mifuyu continue patrolling. Mifuyu&#039;s parents increase her lessons because they suspect she is sneaking out to play. Yachiyo feels guilty. They decide to reduce patrols for the next week.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s manager tells her the unit will be disbanded at the end of the month. Yachiyo is devastated. Her wish to keep the unit alive was meaningless. She meets Mifuyu at the candy store. Mifuyu has been scolded and had her phone taken away. She says she cannot endure her life anymore. Yachiyo blames herself for dragging Mifuyu around. A Witch appears. They fight it, but two other Magical Girls show up and attack them. The Witch kills one of them. Yachiyo and Mifuyu fight the Witch together and defeat it. The surviving Magical Girl takes the grief seed and leaves. Yachiyo and Mifuyu are broken. They ask Kyubey to let them quit, but he refuses.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo finds a grief seed left behind by the surviving Magical Girl. She realizes she saved the girl&#039;s life. Mifuyu says that even though their wishes were meaningless, they are still alive and can protect what is important. Yachiyo recalls her grandmother&#039;s words about leaving feelings behind through letters. She decides she and Mifuyu should exchange letters to leave their feelings behind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day at Mikazuki Villa&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu continue looking through the photo album. Mifuyu says the letters were their hope and their weakness. She suggests they stop exchanging letters because they are now seniors who must be strong. Yachiyo refuses. She says the letters keep her tied to reality and give her hope. Mifuyu agrees to continue. They find an old letter Yachiyo wrote. Yachiyo says she will write this year&#039;s letter. Mifuyu promises to write one too. They vow to exchange letters forever.&lt;br /&gt;

** Shizuku wanders to a pond, where Kanagi finds her and speaks about protecting magical girls. Shizuku interprets this as a reminder that everyone leaves and excuses herself.

She turns her phone off, convinced she has nowhere left to return to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sent&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku finds herself in an unfamiliar place, confronted by a mysterious figure.

The figure reveals itself as her Doppel and agrees to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sent&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At the coffee shop, the friends gather. Hinano arrives, having fallen into a pond while searching for Shizuku, and expresses her desire to be friends too. As Shizuku prepares tea, the group grows lively around her. She reflects that she still does not know how she wants to live, but for now, being able to smile as she watches everyone have fun is enough. Ryo quietly takes a photo of her smiling, and Shizuku joins the others as they laugh together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sent&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After deducing the impostor can transform, Sae confronts and corners Rena, who reveals the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire investigation was an elaborate setup. Emiri and the others orchestrated the &amp;quot;False Magical Girl&amp;quot; to force Sae into relying on them, worried her refusal to ask for help would lead to disaster. Mitama coordinated the scheme. Though initially frustrated, Sae understands their concern and thanks them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Magia Record Event - The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf|The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo bumps into Tsuruno on a day when school is out. Yachiyo has a job performing in a recorded drama with Sayuki that will be screened on Tanabata. Tsuruno recalls Yachiyo&#039;s poor performance in Karin&#039;s Halloween play and decides to join her to help. Yachiyo welcomes her.&lt;br /&gt;
** On set, Ria and Mayu are assisting with makeup and costumes. Yachiyo recognizes Ria, calls her by name, and praises her work, causing Ria to internally fangirl. Yachiyo grows anxious seeing so many Magical Girls gathered, recalling how a previous production with magical girls turned into a disaster. Tsuruno reassures her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wins over the production team with her exuberance. The play&#039;s co-star drops out, and the director asks Tsuruno to take the role. She eagerly accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a fairy tale about an ancient Mizuna legend. Two girls, Tsuyu and Chizuru, befriend each other despite their families&#039; rivalry and join forces to punish a selfish lord. Yachiyo plays Tsuyu, the ice queen with a heart of gold. Tsuruno plays Chizuru, the cheerful and impetuous girl. Sayuki plays the Magpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** During the script reading, everyone realizes Yachiyo&#039;s acting skills are still terrible. Yachiyo confides that she has turned down many acting jobs but accepted this one because the director begged her, even if she flops. She vows to see it through to expand her repertoire. Tsuruno promises to stay by her side.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria is in shock seeing her idol perform poorly. The filmmakers work around it by taking away Yachiyo&#039;s lines. Ria confronts Yachiyo and Tsuruno after the reading, declaring she will give Yachiyo an acting bootcamp. She does not want Yachiyo&#039;s performance to drag down her makeup work or her reputation as Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at home, Yachiyo reviews the script. Tsuruno explains the Mizuna fairy tale to the rest of Mikazuki. Felicia becomes interested when she learns there are fight scenes. Tsuruno explains that the day Tsuyu and Chizuru teamed up was Tanabata, and people in Kamihama entrust their wishes to them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next week or so, Yachiyo is drilled on acting with a professional coach and Ria&#039;s guidance. She eventually executes her lines perfectly and Ria is relieved.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sea is a Link Through Time /  The Call of the Open Sea===&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. There&#039;s two different versions at hand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Momoko and Mitama arrive at a resort near a village with a legend about a Diviner who eloped with a sailor and sank with stolen treasure. Mitama reveals they are actually there to hunt for this treasure based on a fairy tale Mikage heard. While exploring the private beach, they encounter Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao from the Tokime Clan, who stumbled there by accident. The group decides to spend the day together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|The Call of the Open Sea]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, they attend a festival in a nearby village that turns out to be a branch of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka learns the villagers consider Diviners a superstition. Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Big Sis, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Felicia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward. Kyubey finds a fuming Felicia, who decides to hire herself out as a mercenary to other magical girls for money or Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Felicia Mitsuki#Side Story|Felicia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Hazuki and Nanaka team up with Ui to teach her how to defeat witches. Ui claims her first victory and receives a grief seed as a reward while Touka and Nemu tag along to offer congratulations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui suddenly realizes she loves the choir and wants to become a music teacher. She excitedly shares this revelation with her family and friends and resolves to work hard toward this future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art.

===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends. Before Hibari&#039;s family moved away, she performed a charm ritual on Aru and promised they would meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message that Hibari is coming to visit Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives and they plan to visit an arcade. Along the way they encounter Himena&#039;s group and later help a lost Shizuka. After some confusion about directions, they reach the arcade where Hibari wins a crane game prize and helps Juri win one too. Hibari suddenly becomes pale and goes to get change, but she does not return. Kagome calls her and Hibari thanks her for being friends before saying goodbye, with an ambulance audible in the background.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome discovers a crowd under a Witch&#039;s Kiss heading toward a rooftop and sends emergency messages to every Magical Girl she knows. Himena&#039;s group arrives to help hold back the crowd, but other girls cannot come due to similar incidents elsewhere. Shizuka finally checks her phone and rushes over with the Tokime Clan just as someone threatens to ignite kerosene. They stop the crowd while Juri and Ao defeat the Witch with Livia&#039;s help. The Witch&#039;s Kiss is lifted and Hibari wakes up confused, with Livia covering that she collapsed from anemia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari admits she felt faint because seeing Kagome surrounded by friends made her happy but also made her feel left behind and alone. Kagome insists Hibari is wrong and promises to come running whenever Hibari is in trouble, asking them to stay best friends forever. Hibari reveals the two wishes she made when they parted came true: that she could speak her mind loudly and that Kagome would make lots of friends. They renew their promise to remain best friends forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kagome learned ventriloquism through Al-chan and grew more confident. The two became inseparable.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kagome&#039;s family moved due to her father&#039;s job transfer, Hibari put a charm on Al-chan with a secret wish. They promised to meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message from Hibari saying she will visit Kamihama. Kagome prepares to show her around.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives in Kamihama. Kagome is happy to see her. They go to the arcade. On the way, they run into Himena and her group. Kagome introduces Hibari. Later, Kagome helps Shizuka, who was lost and struggling with a foreigner. Hibari is impressed by how much Kagome has grown.&lt;br /&gt;

* Day 4&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri struggled at school, frustrated by classmates who avoided conflict and teachers who enabled them. Her anger built up. She reflected on how she became a Magical Girl—she wished for a patient, stout heart to stay in school and not burden her father. The wish gave her patience but did not eliminate her anger; it built up as flames until she exploded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She said she liked being with him, just the two of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After thinking it over, she searches for information with help from others, but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hinano explains that because the agreement fell through, local manufacturers like Kanoko’s father stayed in business, so there was little news. Chiharu and Sunao arrange a meeting at the factory and bring Shizuka. Kanoko’s father tells Shizuka his factory would have failed otherwise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

One girl keeps trying to talk to her at the end of each day, but Shigure brushes her off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shiguress&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shigure Miyabi#Side Story|Shigure&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Walking home, Shigure sees a classmate under a witch’s influence about to commit suicide. She knocks the girl unconscious, enters the labyrinth, and is nearly defeated until a strange magical girl arrives. Together they kill the witch. Afterward the classmate dismisses Shigure’s help, but the stranger is kind. Shigure recognizes her as a fellow Black Feather; they introduce themselves as Hagumu and Shigure, and Shigure notes the warmth of Hagumu’s hands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shiguress&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shigure Miyabi#Side Story|Shigure&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shigure and Hagumu grow close but quickly become jaded. Their families and classmates resent their constant lateness, which comes from Magius work no one can know about. Even the classmate Shigure saved never acknowledged her. They begin to believe magical girls are superior to ordinary humans and deserve recognition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shiguress&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shigure Miyabi#Side Story|Shigure&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Hagumu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hagumu reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. After Walpurgisnacht, the organization dissolved, and many former Feathers joined the Kamihama Magia Union. Hagumu is uncertain, as she believes in Magical Girl Supremacy and cannot accept the Union&#039;s ideology of liberation without sacrifice. Shigure contacts her, asking to meet and talk. Shigure wants to convince Touka and Nemu to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Hagumu is conflicted—she cannot trust the Magius after being exploited, but she also cannot decide what to do. She asks for time to think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hagumu Azumi#Side Story|Hagumu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu meets Maria, a former Magius member who joined the Union. Maria notices Hagumu looks unwell and offers to listen. Hagumu explains her dilemma: she cannot agree with the Union&#039;s ideology, but she also cannot follow Shigure&#039;s plan. Maria suggests Hagumu ask other Magical Girls how they decided. Hagumu recalls her wish was made in haste to save a woman under a Witch&#039;s Kiss, and she regrets not choosing a better wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Moka why she joined the Union. Moka says she joined because she was invited and everyone is kind. Hagumu sees Moka is honest and never doubts people, which is why everyone supports her. Hagumu realizes they are completely different—Moka has people who protect her, while Hagumu feels she has nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Yukika, a former Black Feather, why she declined the Union. Yukika says she did not want to drag others into trouble. Hagumu sees Yukika has strong convictions and follows them, unlike herself. Hagumu feels more discouraged.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches. Hagumu is moved but asks for more time to discuss it with Shigure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hagumu finishes sewing Cinderella&#039;s costume and is praised by her club members. She feels a sense of accomplishment. However, she forgot to order the glass slippers. Her seniors are disappointed but tell her to order them now and make a to-do list next time. Hagumu feels crushed—she finally succeeded at something, only to fail again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu senses a Witch and goes to help. She sees Riko, an elementary schooler, defeating the Witch on her own. Hagumu realizes her ability to fight Witches is not special—any Magical Girl can do it. She feels her &amp;quot;glass slippers&amp;quot; are cracking and shattering. She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Hikarizuka Youth Association, San is treated like a younger sister by the members. The Chairman reveals the Association is facing rumours of shady business and has lost a major sponsor. The Fire Festival may be cancelled. San tells Miyuri about her past—as a child, she was scared of the Festival until Tatsu showed her the beauty of the flames. She joined the Youth Association out of admiration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[San Kagura#Side Story|San&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Years ago, a movement to abolish the Festival arose. San wished to Kyubey to &amp;quot;make the Fire Festival remain,&amp;quot; and the movement died out. However, the Festival is now in trouble again because her wish only solved the immediate crisis. San suggests that if they could make people believe in a visible god, they could restore faith in the Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San and Miyuri try fundraising but fail. San decides to research the god of Hikarizuka Shrine.

San realizes she can become a visible god and spread Magical Girl supremacy to protect the Festival. She decides to contact the new Wings of Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San meets Shigure and Hagumu, who lead the Neo-Magius. They ask her to join as an instructor. San declines, saying she is more suited to being a lieutenant. She receives a message that Tatsu was caught in a violent incident. San rushes back. Sponsors are considering dropping out due to the incident. San decides to negotiate with Miyuri&#039;s father to continue sponsorship just for this year. She kneels and begs him. He agrees but says this will be the last year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The Youth Association cleans up. San learns that everyone has given up on the Festival. Tatsu admits none of them ever saw the god—he only told San that to comfort her as a child. San is shocked but still refuses to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** San tells Himena about her wish and her determination to become a god. She vows to spread Magical Girl supremacy and revive the Fire Festival by any means necessary. Himena approves. San declares she will become a living god, no matter what she has to sacrifice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Miyuri&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena, Alexandra, Hagumu, and Shigure watch as San stretches Miyuri. Miyuri&#039;s loud reactions draw attention. Himena asks about Miyuri&#039;s inline skating. Miyuri explains she started skating as a child because she was bad at running and her parents bought her skates. She fell in love with the feeling of cutting through the wind and quickly improved, eventually competing in freestyle competitions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Miyuri Yukari#Side Story|Miyuri&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s social anxiety worsened. She began experiencing panic attacks at competitions and could no longer compete. Her parents signed her up with the Hikarizuka Youth Association to help her interact with people. There, she met San for the first time. San invited her to dance practice. Miyuri fainted from overexcitement while watching San&#039;s legs. She realized she had a leg fetish and that it triggered her anxiety. She began avoiding San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s skating practice suffered. Her mother suggested she visit the Community Center. Miyuri avoided San again and went outside to practice skating alone at night. She felt free and happy while skating. San saw her dancing in the moonlight and was mesmerized. San decided she wanted to help Miyuri grow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish. San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri learned her new power shortened her experience of anxiety. She became more confident but still fainted easily. She fought Witches alone, often blacking out and going berserk. She encountered the Wings of the Magius while chasing a Witch. Her Doppel emerged. San appeared as the Instructor, defeated the Witch, and fended off the Doppel. San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training. Touka and Nemu suggested San should train Miyuri since she could still hear San&#039;s voice when unconscious. San agreed and became Miyuri&#039;s instructor. Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present) Back at the Community Center, Miyuri finishes her story. She does not regret her wish because it led her to become San&#039;s secret weapon and join Neo-Magius. Himena and the others leave, leaving San and Miyuri alone and Miyuri is mitten with San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Lavi goes shopping with Mikage and Nayuta. At the vegetable shop, the owner thanks Lavi for her gardening advice. A woman gives Lavi fresh eggs as thanks for organic vegetables from Lavi&#039;s grandfather. Mikage notices Lavi knows many housewives. Nayuta realizes she knows little about Lavi&#039;s past.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi explains she used to have a frail body as a child due to an unidentifiable condition. Her grandfather grew organic vegetables, which eased her symptoms. However, a severe storm destroyed the field&#039;s soil, making it impossible to grow vegetables. Lavi wished to restore the soil and became a Magical Girl. Her wish saved the field and gave hope to others. She admits her improved health was partly due to becoming a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage wants to make the newspaper more interesting, so Lavi offers to demonstrate &amp;quot;newsworthy&amp;quot; housework. She cooks lunch while Mikage records. Nayuta and Mikage try to help but ruin the dish with too much seasoning. They are distraught, but Lavi salvages it using cabbage and eggs. The meal is delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After making the newspaper, Nayuta and Mikage fall asleep. Lavi reflects on her past. She reveals that she never found joy in living despite her family&#039;s efforts. Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true. She asks for a little more time in her beloved daily life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Asahi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime Tribe holds a celebration to welcome Asahi. During introductions, Chiharu rambles excitedly about her favorite shows, and Asahi finds herself intrigued. When pressed to share more about herself, Asahi talks about hunting and the importance of minimizing suffering. That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun. Everyone apologizes, and they end the day with a shared dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Alexandra&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Re-analyze and structure this. It is a double-story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra dreams of her school days. She sees her past self smiling and realizes she is dreaming of the time she was in love. In the dream, she discusses love with Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu. Himena shares a romantic story about stargazing with Hiko. When Himena asks about their own love lives, Alexandra begins crying unexpectedly. She denies anything is wrong, but Himena apologizes for being insensitive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Alexandra Kurusu#Side Story|Alexandra&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, Alexandra&#039;s teacher appears—but he looks like Shigure. Other people appear as Himena and Hagumu. She recalls that her teacher was her math teacher and club advisor. He was strict and had a reputation for being scary. Alexandra remembers how she would complain about him with her classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After club activities, Alexandra wants to practice singing more. She goes to the rooftop and finds the teacher there. He allows her to practice under his supervision. They begin meeting regularly on the rooftop. She learns he does not smoke and is careful about his throat. He mentions that being an adult is not that great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A male classmate confesses to Alexandra. She almost accepts but pictures the teacher&#039;s face and realizes she loves someone else. She rejects the classmate. Later, it rains, and the teacher lends her his towel. She realizes she has fallen in love with him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra begins trying to appeal to the teacher daily. She asks about his relationship status and learns he is single. She indirectly describes him when talking about her type. She leaves a love letter in his shoe locker. He thinks it is a prank but recognizes her handwriting. She keeps trying to convey her feelings, but he never takes her seriously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra&#039;s behavior becomes obvious in class. She eagerly volunteers to answer questions and is overly happy when called on. Her classmates are amazed she can talk to the scary teacher so cheerfully. She learns everyone fears him. She asks why he became a teacher, and he admits his parents were teachers and he had wanted to be a singer but never pursued it. He wonders if there is any meaning to his life. Alexandra feels sorrow and wants him to be happy. She begins planning to improve his reputation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey appears and offers to grant any wish. Alexandra wants to capture the teacher&#039;s heart through her own efforts. She decides not to make a wish yet. She organizes a surprise birthday party for him with her classmates. He is genuinely happy and thanks her. He realizes she planned it. She tells him all the students respect him. He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra continues her jokes and attempts to get closer to the teacher. She jokes about marriage and asks for a date on the school trip. He unexpectedly agrees to go shopping with her for a few minutes. She hugs him in excitement. A classmate spots them on the rooftop. Rumors spread quickly. The principal calls the teacher in. He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra cannot wake up from the dream. She imagines the teacher scolding her for playing with his feelings. She decides she needs to apologize in real life. She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love. She tells him her feelings were not a deception—they were true love. She thanks him for a wonderful time and says she now only places her faith in Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Iroha reassures her, noting they are both stubborn junior‑high girls from Takarazaki who came to Kamihama to find someone important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Yachiyo has no new information about Nayuta’s father. Tsuruno has Nayuta show a photo, but no one recognizes him. Felicia suggests Nayuta simply ask Touka, since she also grew up at Satomi Medical Center. Nayuta refuses, saying she cannot trust Touka, and apologizes for her stubbornness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Nayuta admits to Lavi she slept poorly because she cannot stop thinking about Touka. Mikage arrives, upset after a fight with Sudachi: Mikage complained about school, Sudachi said she envied Mikage for being able to attend, and they argued over whose position was harder.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home. Lavi approves of her standing her ground, and Nayuta realizes she and Lavi are more alike than she thought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, classmates who used to bully her avoid her, but Mikage is determined to find Magical Girl friends. Himika tells her about Emiri’s counseling center, so they go there together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the center, Emiri, Sasara, Asuka, and Kanoko are delighted to meet Mitama’s little sister. Mikage explains she is looking for a friend, but Emiri points out they are already her friends. After some banter about fashion, Mikage tries on Kanoko’s outfits and has a wonderful time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mikage wonders if the older girls truly see her as a friend or just as a kid. Himika suggests she meet girls her own age like Ui, Touka, and Nemu, though Mikage is uncertain about befriending the geniuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When she returns home, Mitama warns her that Ui has been kidnapped by Promised Blood and forbids Mikage from associating with the Kamihama Magia Union. Mikage reluctantly agrees but is frustrated her efforts to make friends have been stopped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama leaves for work and Mikage accuses her of hypocrisy—Mitama can spend time with the KMU while Mikage cannot. She runs out, declaring she will find a new big sister. She finds Emiri’s office closed but runs into Rika and Ren, who quickly realize she is Mitama’s sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Mikage bond over fashion and go to some cheap stores, where Mikage realizes she left her wallet. They play a crane game instead, and Rika wins stuffed animals for Ren and Mikage. Mikage asks Rika to be her big sister; Rika declines but encourages her to talk to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory. Kanoko lets her help make a pendant, but before Mikage can convince her to become her sister, Mitama arrives and drags her home. Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any. Later, she finds Mitama has made all her favorite foods, and they reconcile off‑screen; Mikage gives Mitama the pendant she made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage declares she will not give up on making Kamihama Magia Union friends. She then decides that since Lavi and Nayuta are older, they can be her big sisters instead. They exchange a look and agree to treat her for one day. Mikage expresses her hope that someday she and Sudachi can play with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, a magical girl named Livia invited Sudachi to Kamihama, where their work might offer her salvation despite its difficult costs. Sudachi followed her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yozuru plays piano at a pharmacist’s request, impressing everyone, then meets Livia Medeiros and Sudachi Sawa. Sudachi exposes Mifuyu, who decides to introduce herself directly. Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yozuru meets Livia and Sudachi again. Yozuru worries she lacks the kindness to be a good coordinator, but Livia encourages her. Sudachi’s stomach rumbles, and Yozuru prepares snacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yozuru replies that her mother trained her to face worse and declares she will live to the fullest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited again. She jokes about the visitor&#039;s persistence. Yozuru and Sudachi return from stocking up on essentials. Sudachi trips, and Yozuru hesitates to help. Livia instructs Yozuru to help Sudachi stand and dust her off. Yozuru apologizes and explains she is not equipped with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the trailer, Yozuru offers tea. Sudachi wants teacakes. Livia allows them to have some as a treat. Livia reflects that she needs to help the girls mature. Yozuru has lost compassion, while Sudachi needs to find her words. Livia believes they will complement each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is found sleeping and crying. Yozuru gives her a handkerchief. Livia says crying in sleep happens occasionally and is common among Coordinators. She thanks Sudachi for finding her dropped ring. Sudachi sulks when Livia refuses to give her sweets as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the ring is a treasure and a way of reprimanding herself. It is the reason she lives for &amp;quot;Mister Sun.&amp;quot; She says she may tell the full story another time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia shares her philosophy: no matter how awful life is, do not drift in a bad direction or relieve resentment with a curse. Magical Girls are born from hope and must overcome struggles with hope. She warns against corrupting purity and urges supporting those with pure hearts. She says she has said enough for now and will share the rest when she is ready. She asks the visitor to promise to live strong, face forward, and not end up like her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Lil&#039; Kyubey returns to Mikazuki Villa. Touka and Nemu are exhausted. They conclude Lil&#039; Kyubey may feel things and have sociality, but cannot reach a firm conclusion.

Lil&#039; Kyubey later meets Hazuki and gives her KamihaManju, but Hazuki refuses, saying she is on a diet and does not want Lil&#039; Kyubey contacting her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo loses sight of Lil&#039; Kyubey. She finds a girl with potential who may have received a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and helps fight the Witch alongside Nanaka. After the battle, Nanaka explains Lil&#039; Kyubey followed her into the labyrinth and returned a flower she dropped. Nanaka asks Ryo to tell Lil&#039; Kyubey to stop visiting unfriendly Magical Girls. Ryo realizes Lil&#039; Kyubey avoids girls with potential and is not soliciting anyone. She writes an article correcting her earlier suspicions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It visits various schools with different Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui finishes her journal. Touka and Nemu read it and use it as qualitative data. They debate whether Lil&#039; Kyubey is mimicking humans or simply reinforcing Ui&#039;s actions. Iroha suggests Lil&#039; Kyubey is supporting them in their efforts to free all Magical Girls. Lil&#039; Kyubey agrees, and Iroha thanks it for accompanying them. She says they will continue together from now on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This is also belonging to the anime partly. Write the main part on the magia record and then the second part on the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices. Kyubey, whom she calls a talking cat, keeps urging her to make a contract, but she does not know what to wish for—though she finds herself wishing God could speak to humans like Kyubey does.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the boy reads the fairy tale Kuroe recommended. He questions a detail in the story, but Kuroe simply accepts it because the writer says so. He jokes that he feels alive because Kuroe thinks so deeply, meaning it as a compliment. Later a teacher asks about her high school plans; Kuroe claims she has decided, but she is merely following her family’s expectations and secretly does not want to go to high school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* At home she prays for a life without fighting or seeing people die. At school, in a depressed mood, she asks her boyfriend unsettling questions about sacrifice and guilt. When he realizes something is wrong, she says she is going to die soon. Despite his attempts to help, she breaks up with him, feeling she deceived him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to the train station and senses a Witch. Inside the Labyrinth, she saves a young, inexperienced Magical Girl. When the girl asks for a spare Grief Seed, Kuroe lies and says the Witch got away. The girl promises they will both become strong and leaves.

That night she begins having a strange dream telling her to go to Kamihama, where Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** That night, Kuroe faces a Witch too powerful for her. Another Magical Girl, Iroha Tamaki, saves her, gives her a Grief Seed, and offers friendship. The kindness reminds Kuroe of the white‑hooded girl and her regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe returns the Grief Seed to Iroha, and they begin working together. They notice no Witches have appeared in Takarazaki for a week—coinciding with Kuroe’s dreams of Kamihama. Seeing online comments from other Magical Girls heading there, Kuroe decides to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe and Iroha go to Kamihama together but nearly die against an unusually strong Witch until Yachiyo Nanami saves them. Yachiyo warns them to stay out. At home, Kuroe watches a video by Touka Satomi of the Wings of the Magius, who promise a world where Magical Girls no longer need to fight.

===Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe dreams of Iroha, though she cannot understand her words. Her Doppel reflects that her contract gave her affirmation of existence, yet she still does not feel like anyone - she simply adapts to whatever situation she is in, resented by no one and dependent on no one, but still wondering who she should be. In the dream, Iroha asks what scares her and offers to figure out who Kuroe is together. Kuroe wakes up wondering why she dreamed of the camping trip, and she calls Iroha, deciding she wants to connect with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroeds&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Doppel Story|Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sasara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara is taken hostage at knifepoint in a convenience store. Despite her desire to be a knight, she is too terrified to act. Though the police arrest the criminal and she is safe, Sasara feels ashamed and hates herself for her cowardice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sasara Minagi#Side Story|Sasara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sasara meets Kyubey and when he makes his offer, Sasara accepts without hesitation. As her father works for an emergency rescue squad, a job she admires, he gave her a favorite picture book about a knight who defeats a dragon to save a village. Sasara carries this book everywhere and has always wanted to be like her father and the knight. She wishes to become a knight who can protect and save people, asking for a stronger heart and stronger convictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Sasara has been hunting witches and saving their victims ever since making her contract. She calls herself the Knight who protects the people of Kamihama, but over time her feelings become tainted. The people she rescues never remember what happened and do not acknowledge her. Sasara realizes she wants someone to appreciate her and questions whether she really wanted to become a knight at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book. She thought she could accept the people she helped not talking to her, but now it feels like she does not even exist. When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nanaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Needs to be re-checked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako to ask for their help fighting a witch they all share a connection to. To explain why she needs them, Nanaka tells them how she became a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka&#039;s father headed a traditional Japanese flower arranging school, but when he fell ill, senior students took over and grew the school&#039;s popularity while abandoning its traditions, shutting out Nanaka&#039;s family entirely. On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform. She decided to lay the Soul Gem with its owner&#039;s body, and when she placed the gem in the girl&#039;s hands, the girl began breathing again. Later, Kyubey explained that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Kyubey asks if Nanaka will tell the others this secret, but she says she is waiting for the right moment. Nanaka then reflects that her true revenge target is actually Kyubey himself. Her power makes it clear he is her enemy, though she does not know all the details, and she is waiting for the right time to turn against him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Nanaka&#039;s team is still unable to find the witch. Akira reports meeting a magical girl mercenary. As the girls plan their next move, Nanaka muses about how she is gathering the determination of magical girls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuku enjoys time with her friends but feels disconnected from them and uncertain about her future. She finds comfort in Fūnī, a traveler who visits her family&#039;s cafe and shares his dream of finding a place to belong. When he invites her to search with him, she feels hopeful that she will not be alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* As a magical girl, Shizuku gains the power to connect spaces, allowing her to travel the world much like Fūnī once did. She continues her search, taking jobs from an unknown magical girl who pays her to use her power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day after a job, Yachiyo Nanami, Tsuruno Yui, and Iroha Tamaki approach her. Iroha invites Shizuku to their house, where she meets Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba. She stays for dinner and overnight, observing how the five girls live together like a family. Yachiyo invites her to stay as long as she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku realizes the other girls have found their place to belong, but she understands that her own place was with Fūnī. She cries as his last words finally make sense to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, Shizuku ends her arrangement with the unknown magical girl and returns to Yachiyo&#039;s house, hoping she can stay there. When she arrives, the house is empty, and she sees the personal items that mark each girl&#039;s place. Overhearing them return, she realizes their home is complete with five people and she does not belong there. She leaves quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and the others had prepared a welcome party with cake, but Shizuku never comes. Yachiyo senses that Shizuku might disappear if you look away and admits she should have seen this coming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku returns to the unknown magical girl and asks for more work. When asked why she came back, she says their picture was complete with five people and she must keep searching for where she belongs. She mentally apologizes to Yachiyo, knowing her actions will cause disaster but feeling unprepared to take responsibility. She wonders if she will ever find solid ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Akira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After Nanaka and Sasara contracts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Akira wakes from a dream about being attacked by a familiar and finds Sasara Minagi nearby, who is out for a walk. Sasara offers to help Akira search for an old man&#039;s lost cane, recalling she saw children playing with a red cane, and the two head off together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akira Shinobu#Side Story|Akira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akira reflects on her upbringing in her father&#039;s karate dojo, where she learned to always help those in need and earned the neighborhood nickname &amp;quot;Troubleshooter&amp;quot; starting at age six.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira started middle school, a girl asked her to be a bodyguard against a stalker. The girl brought her to a park, confessed her love, and admitted to lying about the stalker. Akira politely rejected her, saying she didn&#039;t know much about that sort of thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Akira learned the girl had vanished and spent days searching for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day Akira found the barrier, she retraced the girl&#039;s steps in the park and stepped into a witch&#039;s labyrinth. She found the missing girl among blank-faced victims marked by a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Kyubey appeared, explained about witches and magical girls, and offered a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Familiars attacked and overwhelmed her despite her karate training. Injured, Akira wished to save all those people, transformed, and destroyed the familiars.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, none of the victims remembered the incident. Kyubey told Akira she needed to defeat the witch itself, which became her destiny as a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a magical girl, Akira patrolled Kamihama investigating witch-related incidents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day, she encountered a familiar without transforming and dropped her Soul Gem. Unable to retrieve it, she fled the barrier and collapsed unconscious outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira woke, Nanaka Tokiwa introduced herself as the magical girl who found her and picked up her Soul Gem. Nanaka advised withdrawing since Akira had collapsed, and Akira reluctantly agreed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Nanaka called asking for a favor. When they met again, Nanaka requested a duel, claiming Akira was weak and should quit hunting witches. Akira refused, citing her family&#039;s dojo, and they dueled. After some fighting, Nanaka ended the duel and apologized. She explained she wanted to test Akira&#039;s resolve and invited her to work together as a team. Akira relented after Nanaka claimed she was troubled and couldn&#039;t fight witches alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present day, Akira returns the cane to the old man and thanks Sasara. She reflects on meeting many magical girls since joining Nanaka and wonders how many exist in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Manaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes Manaka cooking at her family&#039;s failing restaurant, Walnuts. She dreams of following her father&#039;s footsteps as a chef and believes that gaining admission to the prestigious St. Lillianna Academy will help her cook like a high class lady and restore the restaurant&#039;s popularity. Kyubey notes her poor grades make passing unlikely, but Manaka insists this is her father&#039;s last chance and resolves to study.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Manaka Kurumi#Side Story|Manaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the assembly, Manaka begins selling popular bentos at school and works as a visiting chef at St. Lillian every Thursday.

Meanwhile, her father receives invitations to tour as a chef and seems genuinely happy traveling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt; Manaka questions why she even bothered trying.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Manaka finishes selling bentos and keeps one for herself. Sana Futaba rushes in, upset at arriving too late.

Sana accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana promises to arrive earlier tomorrow, but Manaka reveals this may be her last day selling bentos. She admits she thinks she made her restaurant even more obscure, and if she is not helping it, she sees no point in cooking.

Seeing Sana smile gives Manaka new motivation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After contracts of: Kako, Manaka&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A documentary crew follows Ria Ami, whose natural beauty causes crowds to part, though she admits she has no basis for comparison when asked about her challenges. Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ria asks Manaka to be her bodyguard while buying the magazine featuring her article, wearing sunglasses to avoid being seen. Inside, she discovers her article occupies only one page, while Yachiyo has an eight-page spread.

* A few days later, Konoha buys cookware and studies cooking theory, suspecting Hazuki might be a cooking prodigy. She makes a disastrous meal incorporating everything she read, and Hazuki collapses after tasting it. Ayame brings home a flyer for a cooking class at &amp;quot;Youshoku Walnuts,&amp;quot; noting that the food there made Hazuki cry. Ayame encourages Konoha, and Konoha resolves to take the class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Konoha meets the teacher, Manaka Kurumi, at the restaurant. Manaka attempts to teach knife skills and how to crack eggs, but Konoha struggles with both. Manaka promises to help her improve. She has Konoha make practice dishes, but Konoha burns oil, over-dashes rice, and explodes miso soup, so Manaka has to take over each time. When finished, Manaka tastes it, insists it&#039;s good to protect her reputation, eats it all, and passes out. Konoha tries the leftovers and confirms it is truly terrible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha hunts a witch with her team while distracted by thoughts about cooking. After they defeat it, Himika Mao arrives late, introduces herself, and asks if they are sisters; Hazuki explains they are not. Himika mentions she is thirteen with five younger siblings. When Ayame asks about being an older sister, Himika invites her to meet her family. Konoha asks to come as Ayame&#039;s guardian upon learning Himika cooks for her family, and Himika accepts. Hazuki says she will prepare dinner at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, at Himika&#039;s house, Konoha and Ayame observe the cramped living space. Himika explains she uses cheap leftover meat blends from a disposal man to feed her family. She serves dinner, and all her siblings along with Ayame eat. When Konoha asks if the food is tasty, the siblings say they never think it&#039;s bad because Himika does her best. Konoha reflects on Azalea&#039;s House and realizes she was too focused on theory rather than on who she was cooking for. She thanks Himika and leaves with Ayame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, Ayame and Hazuki find Konoha cooking again. Konoha promises to give up if she fails this time. Focusing on her feelings rather than theory, she makes a meal from Azalea&#039;s. Hazuki and Ayame try it and say it&#039;s bad, but it&#039;s edible. Konoha is excited that someone could actually eat her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ayame returns home to find Konoha cooking again. Hazuki observes that Konoha has found joy in the act of cooking. Konoha narrates that she learned cooking is about heart, and could now make food people could finish. She thinks cooking is fun, though Ayame and Hazuki sometimes scream loud enough to startle the neighbors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Konoha attempts beef stroganoff, a dish Hazuki admits is difficult. Hazuki and Ayame try it and collapse. Konoha says she will redo it. She narrates that experience matters, and wonders what to try next.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hazuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame meet with Nanaka, Meiyui, Akira, and Kako at a restaurant to discuss how to handle situations where both teams target the same Witch. Meiyui proposes a first-come, first-served rule, but Hazuki points out it would lead to disputes over who arrived first. Ayame suggests settling conflicts with rock-paper-scissors, and though Meiyui argues there&#039;s no time for games in battle, Hazuki has them try it on the spot. When Ayame and Meiyui play, Meiyui uses a martial arts technique to change Ayame&#039;s hand, causing an argument between the groups. Hazuki calms everyone down and suggests they go home for the day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hazuki Yusa#Side Story|Hazuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls reconvene at the restaurant. Hazuki proposes a new rule: anyone who uses magic against a Witch gains proportional rights to the Grief Seed. Both teams agree, and Hazuki suggests they gather data by hunting together. They split into mixed teams—Ayame and Kako form one; Hazuki, Akira, and Meiyui another and Konoha and Nanaka stand by to help as needed. After the successful joint hunt, Nanaka meets with Hazuki alone at the restaurant. She reveals she believes Hazuki manipulated the entire situation from the first meeting, noting that her team was impressed with Hazuki&#039;s group&#039;s teamwork but that she herself was more struck by Hazuki&#039;s modus operandi. Nanaka asks why Hazuki orchestrated everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki admits she wanted Konoha, who is introverted, to connect with others and that after the Witch fight, Konoha seemed genuinely happy. She explains her goal was simply to build connections between her group and other Kamihama Magical Girls. Nanaka accepts this and says she&#039;s glad to work with her. Later, Hazuki writes in her notebook that Nanaka is shrewd but fascinating, and she resolves to continue reaching out to other Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ayame&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame encounters Felicia during a Witch fight, and their rivalry quickly escalates when Felicia dismisses Ayame&#039;s challenge to lead the girls to argue and accidentally let the Witch escape. Frustrated by losing to Felicia specifically, Ayame confronts her afterward, and despite Kako&#039;s attempts to mediate, the two insist on settling things through some competition. Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch. Emerging back in the park, Felicia thanks Ayame, and they realize the race was never finished. They resume, but Ayame admits she&#039;s fine with not winning and she has come to accept Felicia as a strong rival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ayamess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ayame Mikuri#Side Story|Ayame&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Masara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro gives Masara cookies simply because she wants to, leaving Masara confused by the gesture. Masara flashes back to their first meeting, when Kokoro had blamed herself for being unable to protect others and Masara told her she should not carry that guilt. Kokoro had asked to stay by Masara&#039;s side, explaining that those words had saved her. In the present, Kokoro asks what Masara is thinking about, and when Masara admits she was remembering their first meeting, Kokoro smiles. Masara does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Masara Kagami#Side Story|Masara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara visits Mitama for magical strengthening, bringing many Grief Seeds with her. Mitama notes her unusual enthusiasm, and Masara explains she wants to get stronger in order to find something that might change her life. Mitama suggests she try attending a summer festival and hands her a flyer, but Masara shows no interest. When Mitama brings up Kokoro, mentioning that Kokoro has talked about her, Masara insists they are merely working together, not friends, and finds Kokoro&#039;s expectations troublesome. Mitama claims Masara is actually worried about Kokoro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara reflects on her childhood, remembering how her parents had her swim from a young age. Despite showing talent, she never felt any joy or sense of accomplishment, though she continued hoping it might eventually change. It never did. She became a magical girl thinking her dull life might finally become interesting, but even that eventually grew boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead. The Witch targets Kokoro, and Masara injures herself by blocking the attack. The Witch escapes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro apologizes, but Masara claims she only did what was most logical, since the Witch could not have been defeated alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Masara keeps flashing back to the moment the Witch attacked Kokoro whenever she looks at her injury. The recurring memory bothers her, though she does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Kokoro offers to hunt the Witch again with Masara. Masara flashes back to the previous fight and insists she will hunt it alone. She tells Kokoro she is a burden and that she does not like getting hurt. Masara leaves Kokoro crying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara tells Mitama what happened. Mitama suggests Masara was actually trying to protect Kokoro. Masara is at a loss and wonders why being around Kokoro causes her to get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro blames herself for causing Masara trouble. She senses the same Witch and, respecting Masara&#039;s wish to hunt alone, decides to fight it by herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help. Masara agrees and tells Kokoro to call her next time. When Kokoro worries about causing trouble, Masara insists she is doing it for herself, because she does not like seeing Kokoro get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro asks if she can call Masara during lunch. Masara says she does not care either way. The two go to Mitama&#039;s place together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro notices the summer festival flyer and asks if Masara is interested. Masara admits she is a little interested. Mitama laughs and says they can look forward to the future when there is something or someone important. Kokoro and Masara are confused by her comment, which exasperates Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks to herself that Masara will become stronger now that she has something to protect. For the first time, Masara finds herself thinking about the future, though she does not know why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Konomi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi welcomes Kaede and Kako to the flower shop where she works part-time. She began working at Blossom because the florist once comforted her as a crying child with a single flower, and now Konomi does the same for other children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konomi Haruna#Side Story|Konomi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a customer leaves, Kaede and Kako help the florist carry supplies. The florist recently returned from the hospital, having survived a serious illness. Konomi remembers the day she found an ambulance outside and learned the shop might close. Desperate to help, she wished to Kyubey to cure the florist&#039;s illness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;!--The Flashback: Their First Meeting--&amp;gt;Kaede and Kako visit the shop for the first time. Kako searches for a specific flower, which Konomi identifies. During tea break, Kako explains she read about the flowers in a novel and wants to buy some for a friend&#039;s birthday. Kaede admits she has never given flowers but receiving them once felt wonderful. Konomi smiles and says she has an idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of the flower giveaway, Konomi, Kaede, and Kako take to the streets, suddenly appearing to hand bouquets to strangers before disappearing. A lottery winner, a despairing old man, and a boy who just got a girl&#039;s number all receive flowers. Later, the girls reunite. Kaede gave to ten people, Kako to thirteen. Konomi apologizes, but they agree to try again the day after tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, before their next giveaway, a girl asks Konomi about the Bursting Flower Girl, a rumored figure who appears on Tuesdays and Thursdays to hand out flowers that supposedly sprout mouths. Konomi, Kaede, and Kako realize they are the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi panics, fearing they have made people hate flowers. They notice a little girl crying because her mother refused to buy her a toy ring. Konomi offers a flower, but the girl wants a ring. Kako fashions the flower into a ring, and the girl calls it pretty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi realizes they have been giving flowers without understanding what recipients truly want. She decides to create something more meaningful. Inspired by Kaede&#039;s mention of birthday flowers and Kako&#039;s knowledge of flower language, they plan an arrangement that speaks to people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi and the girls create a birthday cake made of fifty flowers, with chocolate and candy inside. The cake incorporates birth flowers so greetings can be communicated through their language. They prepare a fair at the shop to showcase it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi shows the cake to the florist, who gives a muted reaction and announces her retirement, planning to leave Konomi the shop.

The three girls reveal they are Magical Girls, track down the Witch, and destroy it together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Hinano, Emiri, Ria, Manaka, Akira&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Rika is invited to a blind date by Emiri Kisaki, who brings along Hinano Miyako, a girl recently heartbroken. When the boys on the date mock Hinano&#039;s youthful appearance and odd way of speaking, Rika surprises her by defending them. Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her. Emiri and Rika quickly reassure Hinano, with Rika adding that Hinano is actually cool for having been able to confess her feelings—unlike Rika, who never confessed at all and watched her crush end up with someone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri then suggests Rika should make a wish, revealing that she and Hinano are magical girls who each received one wish in exchange for fighting monsters. Rika wonders if this is some kind of game. Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika muses that her wish was granted and she is now dating her crush, yet she feels deeply unhappy. When Kyubey asks what is wrong, she admits that every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens with unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day, Mayu is a third-year student at Mizuna Academy who works part-time at the Kamihama Contemporary Art Museum. When she accidentally breaks the museum director&#039;s cup, her boss handles the situation calmly and kindly. After work, she meets her friend Sayuki Fumino outside the museum, and when Sayuki cannot stay, Mayu&#039;s boss offers to accompany her to an exhibit instead. They later go to a cafe, where Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi are also present. Ria grows increasingly annoyed overhearing Mayu&#039;s conversation with her boss, particularly when he hints at wanting to take her somewhere else and praises her cooking. At home that evening, Mayu cooks for her mother and asks if her father would have eaten her cooking, wondering what life would be like if he were still alive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayu Kozue#Side Story|Mayu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at school, Mayu talks with Sayuki about the sword exhibit. She then heads to work, and after her shift ends, her boss mentions his wife and child are away and invites her out to eat. Mayu declines. As she leaves, she forgets her phone, and her boss rushes to return it, asking again about dinner with growing intensity. Ria suddenly appears and bumps into him, yelling at them for flirting and demanding they sit for a lecture. Mayu&#039;s boss says she ruined it and leaves. Ria warns Mayu that her sweet, innocent air attracts older men and that if things continue, his family will fall apart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home that night, Mayu reflects on the day she learned of her father&#039;s death and on Ria&#039;s words. Kyubey appears and offers a contract. Thinking she does not want her boss&#039;s family to suffer the same hardship her family did, Mayu makes her wish: to stop his family from breaking apart. That night, she narrates that her boss transferred to a new job, and she is sure her wish was granted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The girls reveal they are Magical Girls, and they track the Witch to the museum&#039;s special exhibit room. Sayuki suddenly appears and reveals she is also a Magical Girl. During the fight, Mayu notices the Witch only targets Ria. She asks Sayuki to lend her strength and launches a surprise attack, destroying the Witch. Afterward, Mayu thinks that to protect people she must think clearly before acting, and Ria admits Mayu was more reliable than usual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As a child, Sayuki attends an idol performance with her parents, but when the crowd becomes dangerously wild, she is almost squeezed to death, leaving her with lasting trauma.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayuki Fumino#Side Story|Sayuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Growing up in a happy family, Sayuki develops a deep interest in katanas that creates a gap between her and her classmates. Though they respect her passion, she feels lonely without someone to share it with. This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert. Sayuki believes speaking out is important no matter the outcome and swears to protect the kind people who have been kind to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka. Moka thanks Alina for saving her and says she has now made new friends, resolving to devote herself to exterminating witches and admitting she is only a little afraid of them now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Riko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Sis = Miss K. Check what Exedra says&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Years ago, Riko spent her childhood with a cheerful older neighbor girl she called &amp;quot;Sis&amp;quot; while her parents worked long hours at their family bento shop. They grew as close as sisters until Sis became engaged to marry someone far away. When Sis&#039;s father suddenly opposed the match despite approving it before, Riko wished upon Kyubey that everyone would give their blessings to the marriage. Her wish worked, and Sis moved away happily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Riko Chiaki#Side Story|Riko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Riko struggles with loneliness waiting alone at home while her parents work overtime. One night, after they call to say they cannot return until after midnight due to a huge order, years of broken promises finally overwhelm her. She snaps, calls them liars who were never there for her like Sis was, and tells them she hates them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko goes Witch hunting to vent her stress but nearly dies against a stronger Witch. In that moment, despair crushes her and she wishes she had never made her wish so Sis would still be there. Tsukasa, a regular at her family&#039;s shop, finds her crying and listens as Riko confides everything about her feelings and what happened with Sis. Speaking from experience, Tsukasa tells her that separation is no excuse for broken contact and recommends she reach out to Sis directly. Riko messages Sis that night before falling asleep exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sis replies promptly. She explains she wanted to contact Riko but left home after arguing with her father and thought a visit would be awkward. She also reveals she was hospitalized to give birth and only discharged that day, inviting Riko to come see her instead. When Riko asks her parents for permission, expecting them to refuse, they apologize sincerely and grant permission for the trip.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Riko visits Sis with her parents. Sis introduces her husband and newborn daughter, hoping Riko will get along with her child just as they once got along. Riko makes a silent promise to be a good sister to this baby and aims to grow into a fine lady, just like Sis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maria&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Maria bids her parents goodbye for the day. Her mother gives her money for dinner, which Maria insists on keeping only a small portion of, and Maria mentions she will be at her part‑time daycare job after school. On her way to school, she runs into two little girls, one of whom attends the daycare where she works.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the daycare, the children swarm Maria with requests. She notices a boy named Shin‑kun looking down and tries to find out what is wrong, but he does not want to talk. Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work. Maria suggests she spend a day with Shin to reconnect, and Shin’s mother agrees. Maria promises to put together a plan by the weekend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Maria’s classmates tease her about being a widow with a love child, and she plays along before explaining she is helping a mother and son from the daycare. Later she presents her weekend plans to Shin’s mother, who is impressed and begins looking forward to the outing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, Maria goes to the park where she knows Shin and his mother should be. She watches as they struggle to connect: Shin wants to play in a fountain, but his mother cannot explain why he should not, and they end up standing awkwardly. Maria pretends to run into them and decides to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to the playground, where Maria encourages Shin to try a tightrope bridge. When he gets nervous, she prompts his mother to take his hand, and together they cross. After lunch, Shin’s mother gets a call from work asking her to come in on her day off. She agrees, and Shin looks heartbroken. Maria offers to watch Shin until dark, and his mother gratefully accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria takes Shin to various places, and he sadly remarks that his mother is too busy for him. Understanding his loneliness, Maria vows to make the day special. At the aquarium she convinces him to see a show he ends up loving. As evening falls, they stop for takoyaki, and Maria explains that his mother tells him not to eat while walking for good reasons. Shin finally understands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shin’s mother appears, explaining work no longer needs her. She admits she has trouble expressing herself, but Shin overhears and hugs her. They both confess they thought the other did not love them. Maria shares that she was often lonely as a child but still loved her parents, and she tells Shin’s mother she does not need to be perfect. Shin shows his mother the souvenir and the last piece of takoyaki he saved for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As darkness falls, Maria walks home alone. She reflects on whether she could ever be a good mother, remembering Kyubey’s revelation that her Soul Gem is her actual soul and her body is merely a vessel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mel&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mel stays home after her reading warns of lethal danger, but Kanagi dismisses her concerns and drags her to school anyway. On the way, a Witch targets only Mel before escaping, and a possessed car then attempts to run her down. She flees west into the Mizuno region, where Yachiyo saves her. Despite Kanagi&#039;s warnings about discrimination from the West, Yachiyo&#039;s kindness puts her at ease, and Mel accepts her invitation to stay. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she requests to join Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kanagi gives permission. From that day, Mel bonds with Mifuyu, Tsuruno, and Momoko as part of her new team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One other day, Mel arrives excitedly with entirely positive readings and offers to read the team&#039;s fortunes. Despite Yachiyo&#039;s skepticism, Mel coaxes her into a session predicting a career breakthrough.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Yachiyo announces with disbelief that she was chosen for a nationwide magazine feature on Kamihama&#039;s cafes. Mifuyu and Momoko then receive positive readings about a matchmaking and exam results.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes. Afterward they visit Mitama, who suggests they train in Endless Mirrors if they plan to remain independent rather than join Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Temari and Mikura commute to school exhausted. Temari stayed up testing a new metal pen, and Mikura correctly guesses she is in modern literature mode.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Temari is distracted thinking about Witch strategies while Mikura worries about Seira, who had fallen asleep in class from exhaustion. Seira joins them, and Temari suggests they create their own space to escape the stress of magical girl life. Seira proposes forming a school club where they can pursue their hobbies freely, and they agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Seira secures an empty classroom as a provisional club room under the name Historical Research Club. On paper they study history, but in reality it becomes their oasis for reading, watching films, and relaxing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the girls are enjoying their club activities, yet Temari still feels unsettled about not knowing her magic. Mikura reflects that they have been following Temari’s suggestions lately—staying independent, creating the club—but says she will mention it if she notices anything. When Mikura asks what Temari is reading, Temari replies she is still on the same author, and Mikura calls her as unpredictable as ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Hotori&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Last part is after the tea drinking moon party&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hotori and her twin Rion prepare for a school camping trip. Hotori gets distracted watching her favorite sentai show, Dragoon Red, and Rion teases her for still liking children’s fantasy. Hotori wants to bring her notebook of heroic quotes, but Rion tells her not to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At camp, Hotori’s group hikes through the forest. She is frightened by insects, and when Rion appears and drives her friends away, Hotori ends up scolded for letting her sister interfere. Reading quotes from her heroes, she manages to calm herself and finishes the hike feeling she has changed a little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During archery, Hotori struggles to pull the bowstring but remembers Dragoon Red’s words about perseverance and manages to shoot. Rion performs better, but Hotori’s friends cheer her up. Rion later mentions the night’s test of courage, and though Hotori is scared, she refuses to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

There Hotori realizes she left her notebook behind; Rion goes back to retrieve it but does not return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotori lies to the teachers and searches the forest. She finds Kyubey, who offers her a contract: any wish in exchange for becoming a magical girl who fights witches. When she finds Rion acting strangely, Kyubey explains Rion has a witch’s kiss. Rion enters a witch’s barrier, and Hotori follows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Terrified but thinking of Dragoon Red’s words, Hotori makes her wish: “I wish to be a hero strong enough to protect Rion.” She defeats the witch alone, saves Rion, and is relieved when her sister wakes up safe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Months later, Hotori now fights witches with a team. During one battle she freezes and is saved by Rion and Yukika Nanase. Yukika asks about Hotori’s notebook, and Hotori explains she wants to be brave like the sentai heroes. Yukika privately knows the truth from another timeline: the twins’ memories were altered by Rion’s wish, and Hotori’s original wish may have been to become strong enough to protect Rion. Hotori, unaware, continues striving to be a hero.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Riko’s parents give Ashley croquettes as thanks. Watching Riko with her family makes Ashley homesick. She confides that her mother is an actress who often visited Japan, sparking Ashley’s love for kawaii culture. Her father opposed her studying abroad without explanation, so Ashley wished for his approval with Kyubey and became a magical girl. She feels guilty about it now. Riko suggests she make a vlog of her time in Kamihama to show her father how happy she is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ashleyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ashley Taylor#Side Story|Ashley&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Ikumi explains how in middle school she dreamed of becoming an idol despite lacking talent, while her friend Yumi dreamed of volleyball. They realized they could fulfill each other&#039;s dreams instead. Yumi became a volleyball ace while Ikumi pursued idol training, though she struggled because her natural personality kept slipping through her cutesy act and she failed to gain recognition. Kyubey repeatedly offered her a contract, but she refused because wishing for her dream would mean she never achieved it through hard work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In high school, Ikumi worked at a school-organized maid cafe that gave struggling students performance opportunities. Though other girls were scouted for idol work and customers called her old-fashioned, she built a small fanbase. When the cafe was forced to close due to building eviction, Ikumi grieved alone on the final night. Kyubey appeared and reminded her that her wish didn&#039;t have to be for her own dream. Thinking of how much the cafe meant to her and others who dreamed there, she wished for it to continue running.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her wish came true when the landowner, moved by the final performance, sold the cafe to the school who remodeled and reopened it. Later, while fighting a witch, Ikumi was saved by another magical girl who turned out to be Yumi. Yumi revealed she had wished for someone to recognize Ikumi&#039;s talents and give her an idol chance. The two teamed up and spent a happy year together hunting witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day they encountered a powerful witch who badly injured Yumi&#039;s leg, threatening her sports scholarship. In despair, Yumi unleashed her doppel. Ryo appeared and helped them escape, and Mitama later explained about doppels. Soon after, Mifuyu approached them with a healer who restored Yumi&#039;s leg. Mifuyu explained about witches and the Wings of Magius, who aimed to liberate magical girls from this fate. Ikumi immediately joined, grateful for Yumi&#039;s healing and hating the thought of losing her dream or becoming a witch. Yumi eventually joined too, and Mifuyu introduced them as Black Feathers to Ryo, who recognized Ikumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Ryo thanks Ikumi for her story and suggests she stop forcing the idol personality since she naturally slips out of it anyway.

** Akari explains that she has always loved Haruto, but he treats her only as a little sister. When Haruto entered high school, he stopped walking with her due to club activities. Akari heard a rumor that Haruto was dating his club manager. Distressed, she wished to Kyubey to become 16 years old like Mimiko-chan, the transforming heroine she admired.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Akari ran into Haruto while patrolling. Haruto was looking for the 16-year-old girl. Akari became jealous and badmouthed her 16-year-old self, calling her suspicious and a liar. Haruto got angry at Akari for speaking ill of someone she did not know. Akari ran away, feeling she was not worthy of him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hotaru revealed she had been watching over Akari since the bunny hutch. She told Akari that her kindness was one of her good points. Akari realized the 16-year-old version Haruto fell for was still a part of her. Hotaru encouraged her to apologize properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari, still in her 16-year-old form, lied to Haruto that she had taken Akari under her protection. Haruto was relieved and admitted he was too harsh with Akari. He said he did not want her to become someone who speaks ill of others. Akari apologized to Haruto in person. Haruto forgave her and said he was proud of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari resolved to become a wonderful adult on her own, without magic, and capture Haruto&#039;s heart when she was truly 16. She thanked Hotaru for giving her the push to apologize but Hotaru fell asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ryoko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryoko’s story begins at Suitoku Temple, the Tokime Tribe’s base, which was slated for demolition while officials hid the harm it would cause.

===Kush&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama’s adjuster shop, Karin Misono finds Kush sleeping inside the tent. Mitama explains that Kush cannot stay awake during the day due to her wish: “I just want the morning to never come.” Kush reveals she made her wish because she longed to live in a fantasy world like the one in her favorite book, &#039;Good‑Bye Fable,&#039; and her magical girl outfit resembles the story’s protagonist. Ui Tamaki and Little Kyubey arrive, and Kush briefly attacks Little Kyubey, mistaking him for the Kyubey she despises. Over tea, Mitama notices Kush’s long canine teeth stained red and later receives a message from her sister Mikage about a rumor of a vampire girl in the Hokuyo Mountains. Karin and Kush agree to investigate together, but Kush runs off to her night class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kush can see in the dark and leads them, but she is still sleepy. They find a discarded camera containing a video of Rui Mizuki dropping it and disappearing. When a mysterious sound frightens the others, they accidentally leave Kush behind. Left alone, Kush eats cherry tomatoes and senses a witch. The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one. They also learn that Rui is Kush’s friend; she had filmed Kush entering the barrier before being caught by it. The group later glimpses a white‑haired silhouette and flees, thinking a real vampire might exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley posts a video warning others to stay away from the mountains. At Mitama’s shop, Ui hears about the incident and learns the vampire was just a misunderstanding.

===Homura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Homura Akemi in Magia Record#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;

* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart.

Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** &#039;&#039;&#039;Second Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They are back at the beginning, wearing their kimonos. They see their past selves from the first loop. The same mission appears—reunite the twins. They meet Tsukasa again, who remembers them from before and is confused by their kimono change. Madoka tells Tsukasa where Tsukuyo is, but Tsukasa runs off before Madoka can explain she should wait. They try to find Tsukasa but fail. The mission fails again, and they are sent back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Third Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes: buy a lucky bag costing one million Magica. They search for a store and take a break at a cafe. They see Ria being interviewed and overhear a boy named Hayato saying he needs a warmer scarf. They find Kokoro and Masara, who lead them to a stationery lucky bag. Kokoro mentions Tsukasa is still looking for Tsukuyo. Madoka wants to help Tsukasa, and Homura agrees. They find Tsukuyo, who has been wandering and dropped something important. They learn Tsukuyo dropped her exchange diary with Tsukasa—the same notebook Aimi found. The mission completes, but they are sent back to the start again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes again: help a child who lost something. They find Tsukuyo waiting. She dropped the exchange diary. Homura and Madoka take her to the Information Desk to reclaim it. Madoka remembers Tsukasa was last seen near a specific area. They wait there and finally reunite the twins. They also tell Aimi that Hayato wants a warm scarf. Everyone ends up happy. Homura and Madoka reach the goal without regrets. Homura reflects that she does not want the dream to last longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka learns the meaning of &amp;quot;When winter comes, spring isn&#039;t far behind&amp;quot; at the end of December. Just before New Year&#039;s Eve, Madoka asks if anyone has plans for the holiday. Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko and Nagisa meet the teacher and children at the park. The kids immediately recognize Kyoko, so the pair double down on the movie lie. The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the performance, Kyoko and Sayaka use quick‑change costumes while Nagisa sneaks discarded clothes off set. The children are awed by the glowing weapons and effects, explained with lighting tricks and soap bubbles. After the class leaves, the group reviews the footage and decides to keep a copy. Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko returns the props to Sayuki, then visits an aquarium to pass time. As she leaves, she spots the same kindergarteners, detects a witch, and rushes to fight it. She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She is hunting for discounted Valentine&#039;s chocolate. She visits Sugar Plum but finds the chocolate coins sold out. She runs into Kyoko. They keep encountering each other at multiple stores and realize they are both after the same Valentine&#039;s Day exclusive Pink Tapir chocolate coins. They form an alliance to share information and split the chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe (Valentine)#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Valentine Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Pink Tapir station store, a clerk informs them the sale has moved to a new outlet location and gives them a map. On the way, a delivery truck carrying the chocolate coins is possessed by a Witch&#039;s Kiss and goes on a rampage. Nagisa and Kyoko chase it, jump onto the truck, and enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Nagisa uses her forbidden technique to defeat the Witch. The truck and other vehicles are unharmed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the outlet store and buy the chocolate coins. Nagisa reflects on her memory of eating Pink Tapir chocolate coins for the first time at a hospital charity event when her mother was sick. She wonders if this universe&#039;s Nagisa would have had the same experience. She and Kyoko hurry to Mami&#039;s chocolate party. Kyoko reveals she bought a chocolate cake from Sugar Plum for everyone. Nagisa shares her pink chocolate coins. Mami is happy they are getting along. The next day, the chocolate hunt continues. At the outlet store, Ms. Saotome buys chocolate coins for a hospital charity event, continuing the tradition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ria, Mayu, and Manaka give the sisters their rented beach space, and the sisters end up spending the day with Team Yachiyo in a water pistol shooting match. They have more fun than they expected, but Tsukuyo suffers a heat stroke and is cared for by the group after Tsukasa panics. When Tsukasa tries to repay the favor, Yachiyo jokes that she should quit the Wings of Magius, then smiles when Tsukasa refuses as expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Miyako’s team wins after Yachiyo avoids stepping on a rare hermit crab, but everyone agrees Tsukasa has repaid her debt, and the sisters admit they had a wonderful time. They end the day drinking juice Yachiyo bought for them and buying matching crescent moon accessories in different colors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo announces that everyone must complete ten pages of homework per subject per day before they can play.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rena &amp;amp; Kaede (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena negotiates with Yachiyo: if they can finish all three days&#039; worth of homework in one day, they can play at the beach tomorrow. Everyone agrees. They study hard together. Rena suggests a reward system to stay motivated. They shout encouragement like at an idol concert. Yachiyo and Momoko help with difficult problems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Rena, Kaede, and Momoko finally play at the beach. Mitama, Kanagi, and Mifuyu visit. Mitama has brought homemade rice balls as a reward. To decide who gets them, they hold a fishing contest. Rena and Kaede catch a pufferfish but come in second place. Kanagi wins first place and gets stuck with Mitama&#039;s cooking. Mifuyu is affected first. Rena and Kaede eat the remaining Mitama musubi and feel sick. They rest for the rest of the afternoon. Yachiyo goes shopping alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Rena and Kaede notice Yachiyo acting strange. They follow her and find her with fireworks. Yachiyo admits she bought them for everyone but felt too shy to ask.

Momoko reflects on how much they have changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They browse swimsuits, but Mitama insists on choosing thoughtfully rather than buying on a whim. They separate briefly, and Mitama runs into Mikage, deflecting questions about what she’s doing. Momoko later admits she also had to make excuses after running into Rena and Kaede. Instead of buying swimsuits, Mitama brings Momoko back for an adjustment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On contest day, Mitama and Momoko play on the beach. They learn the contest requires performing a shared beach memory with chemistry.

While playing, they fight a Witch together—the first time Mitama has teamed up with someone—then run straight into Rena, Kaede, and Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

A crowd gathers, muttering rumors, but Momoko defends Mitama and the crowd disperses. The girl realizes it was an accident and offers to help clear Mitama’s name, but Mitama declines, saying she no longer needs it because she has someone who believes in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

Madoka recognizes Himari’s name and, with her friends’ help, finds the old woman from the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The old woman and the photographer meet; the photographer confesses her guilt over their childhood fight, but the woman explains Himari never mentioned any quarrel—her illness suddenly worsened that day. The two women reconcile, and both thank Madoka for bringing them together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond. Madoka reflects that the thing she could only do here was to reunite the two women and give them peace. Her friends call her for one last swim, and she runs off to join them, already thinking of returning to the island someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story and Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
It has two versions I made, assimilate them if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomuradsSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

** At registration, Mitama announces all participants must wear swimwear, offering to transform their outfits for free. Homura is surprisingly excited, and Sayaka gets roped into wearing a ridiculous mushroom‑mermaid costume designed by Kanoko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many familiar magical girls attend as participants or catering staff. Hazuki reveals her hatred of worms, Konoha faints from watching bait wriggle, and various mishaps begin piling up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka in her costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The non‑waterproof suit causes Sayaka to be electrocuted by its built‑in fan, but her Doppel activates and saves her. The Doppel drags Yachiyo into the water, and Yachiyo begins water‑skiing using her fishing rod while being pulled around.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura manages to fish up the Doppel and wins the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other&#039;s backs. Homura happily agrees, ending the day on a warm note.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Homura confronts her Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying summer and relying on Madoka’s kindness. The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurads&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura visit a seaside villa on the outskirts of Kamihama. They meet Felicia and her friends briefly. After parting ways, they decide to visit an aquarium. They participate in an accessory-making workshop using star sand. Inside the aquarium, they meet Ashley, an exchange student from the United States, and Riko. Ashley recognizes them as Magical Girls from Mitakihara because she encountered their copies in Endless Mirrors. They chat and learn Ashley is making videos about kawaii things in Japan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Waverider)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After parting ways with Ashley and Riko, Sayaka wants to visit a CD store. She hopes to find rare CDs for Kyosuke. At the store, she reaches for the same CD as a woman. They discover they both use notepads to track CDs. The woman is Takamine&#039;s wife—Takamine was a violinist who passed away. She collects his recordings to show her daughter. They exchange contact information. Sayaka mentions the upcoming flea market.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Sayaka, Madoka, Homura, Mami, Kyoko, and Nagisa visit the flea market together. They meet Ashley and Riko again. They split into groups. Sayaka and Kyoko go together. They eat lunch and shaved ice. Ashley records their conversation. Madoka and Homura leave early for Witch patrol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka&#039;s group meets Takamine&#039;s wife and daughter. A strong wind blows the daughter&#039;s hat into the ocean. Sayaka and Kyoko transform into swimsuits and ride a surfboard to retrieve it, using Nagisa&#039;s floaty as a distraction. The hat is recovered. Takamine&#039;s wife realizes she lost her notepad. Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while waiting, Nagisa and Riko play with water guns. Sayaka&#039;s group relaxes on the beach. Madoka and Homura find Sayaka&#039;s copy in Mirrors. The copy lures them into a trap, but they manage to get the CD list from her and escape. They send it to Sayaka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Takamine&#039;s wife identifies the CDs she was looking for. Sayaka buys a souvenir for Kyosuke. They enjoy the rest of the day at the beach.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Mami&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, Homura, Madoka, and Sayaka fight a Witch. They rescue a taxi driver who was captured. He is confused but fine. They help him find his car. Afterward, Homura feels bad for failing to finish off the Witch. Mami suggests they have a review meeting at her place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring. They plan for future fights: Sayaka will handle Familiars, Madoka and Homura will immobilize the Witch, and Mami will finish it off. Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the team encounters a paramedic and a girl under a Witch&#039;s influence. They enter the Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. The paramedic wakes up and thanks them and the team slips away quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of school after summer vacation, Mami calls Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura to the roof. Kyoko and Nagisa fought a powerful Witch and retreated. They warn the others and the team meets to plan. Kyoko and Nagisa will immobilize the Witch while Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura handle the Familiars. Mami will finish it off with her new firework attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The ext morning, the Witch appears and the team executes their plan. Mami uses a powerful firework attack, which she names &amp;quot;Fiore Finale,&amp;quot; to defeat the Witch. They rescue the captured people. A paramedic from earlier recognizes them and offers to take care of the victims. The team rushes to school but is late.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A taxi driver from the previous encounter sees them and gives them a ride. He thanks them for protecting the town. They arrive at school just in time. Mami is glad her hard work paid off and feels happy to be thanked. She looks forward to continuing to protect the town with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko invites Homura, Mami, Sayaka, and Madoka to the beach using tickets Mitama gave her after another accidental transformation into her magical swimsuit. The group swims, then Kyoko dominates the buffet. They discover a cliff diving spot, where Sayaka, Mami, and Kyoko take turns jumping while Madoka and Homura watch. They agree to return the day after next, since Madoka is busy the following day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kyoko asks Mitama to let her keep the swimsuit form for the summer, then heads to the beach alone. There she finds Ui Tamaki practicing swimming by herself, desperate to learn by the next day so she can join her family cliff diving. Kyoko watches over her, and later Sayaka arrives to help. Ui improves, but a rip current nearly sweeps her away; Kyoko rescues her. Moved by Ui’s determination, Kyoko keeps training her until sunset, and Ui finally masters swimming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully. Later, Kyoko visits Mitama to revert her outfit, explaining she wants to learn swimming properly rather than relying on magic. She trades a Grief Seed for money to buy ramune as payment for a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Eternal Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Momoko Togame (Sanctified)#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;

===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi meet again. Mitama shares her realization: her grief has ended. She now wants to make amends and carve a new future for Kamihama. They discuss ideas for the student conference. Kanagi suggests a sports festival. Mitama suggests a festival with food stalls. They joke about romance and love interests. Mitama feels lighter and ready to move forward. She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;

===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at the Wings of Magius, Alina asks Nemu to create a rumor for her. She will let it grow, then take it into herself and use it to achieve her greatest goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the real world, Tsuruno gives gelato to Ui and Felicia. Ui is absorbed in playing a game called &amp;quot;Little Vacation&amp;quot; on Tsuruno&#039;s phone. The game follows Tsuruno and Felicia as Reindeer Santas traveling to reach the End of the World and the Wishing Star.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia (Special Delivery)#Side Story|Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno uses the Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a hint: &amp;quot;The key is something you don&#039;t know the importance of until it&#039;s gone. This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The girls encourage Tsuruno and Felicia to leave since they were not originally trapped. Tsuruno and Felicia walk out easily. They promise to return once they find a way to free everyone. They leave, having failed to deliver smiles for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Town of Miraculous ☆ Prestidigitations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the next town. They meet Mitama, a magician performing tricks, and twins Rion and Hotori. Mitama attempts to teleport Hotori but accidentally duplicates her. There are now two Hotoris. Tsuruno and Felicia try to help. The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win. The duplicates are left behind. The single Tsuruno who lost is left alone without Reindeer-san #2 or the Okamochi Box. She decides to continue traveling anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; The three Tsurunos reunite and discuss the hints from the Okamochi Box. They realize &amp;quot;three heads are better than one&amp;quot; refers to them working together to solve the Maze Town puzzle. They also realize the key in Maze Town was a &amp;quot;smile&amp;quot;—something Ren had lost along the way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game.

===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents. Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia return home and ask to hear the full story, so Yachiyo retrieves the scarf from the time capsule where she had hidden it years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Mami has tea with Touka and Alina at a house rented for her by Touka. Mami explains she has not returned to Mitakihara because her priority is releasing magical girls. Touka and Alina offer to lecture her on what she needs to study. Alina grows disturbingly excited discussing van Gogh&#039;s Sunflowers, and Touka lectures at length on mathematics until Alina interrupts. Mami reassures them she will ask for help when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina receives a call from the Amane sisters requesting help with a Witch. Touka asks Mami to assist, explaining she has a lecture to give at noon to recruit skilled magical girls. Mami agrees, reflecting that releasing magical girls requires Grief Seeds, protecting Rumors, and raising Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane waiting for her. They explain the Witch has moved and the Black Feathers are monitoring it. A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren plan for their friends’ Christmas party a week away and promise to spend Christmas Eve together. While looking at options in a magazine, they cannot decide on a place. Ren buys the magazine to think it over, privately hoping to choose somewhere that will make Rika happy, though she doubts whether she truly belongs beside her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ren visits Emiri’s consultation room but finds only Akira and Ria Ami. She explains her dilemma, and Ria takes her around town to evaluate possible locations. They rule out a restaurant, an amusement park, and a romantic cafe, eventually settling on the Minagi Aquarium. Ria is surprised to learn Ren is planning an outing with Rika, not a boyfriend, but Ren leaves feeling confident in her choice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Christmas Eve, Rika attends a party with her school friends. When she mentions she will spend Christmas Eve at the aquarium with a friend, her friends press to join, but Rika refuses. She advises them not to look for boyfriends just to avoid being alone. Later, while walking with her friends, Rika spots Ren chasing after Aimi Eri. She follows and finds Ren comforting Aimi over a misunderstanding involving a boy; the situation resolves without trouble.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Ren waits for Rika, who messages that she overslept with a fever. Ren worries Rika became sick chasing after her the day before. Before she can reply, Aimi finds her, and they go shopping together. Aimi encourages Ren to visit Rika instead of staying apart. Ren goes to Rika’s house, knocks on her window, and insists they spend Christmas together there so Rika can rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They exchange gifts: Ren gives Rika scented candles, having noticed Rika’s interest from a sticky note, and Rika gives Ren a glass candlestick. Rika hopes they can visit the aquarium another time, and Ren leaves happy to have shared Christmas with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, assimilate them if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumor Tsuruno begins designing the park, adding a merry-go-round, roller coaster, spa, shops, and a cafe. The mascots warn that once the park is complete, she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world. Rumor Tsuruno claims no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she imagines comfort foods with hot pot as the main star, she is reminded of Mikazuki Villa. She brushes it off and completes the park. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Uwasa Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana looks at a Mr. Purrs-a-lot picture book and feels down. Ui notices and asks what is wrong. Sana admits she wants to become a picture book author to help people who are suffering like she once was. She has many ideas but does not know how to write them. Ui encourages her. Sana says she is starting from zero and needs to practice writing. Ui suggests she settle on one main idea. Sana recalls a story about the Rice God from Yachiyo and decides to write a practice story about it.&lt;br /&gt;

* Sana and Ui discuss the main character. Sana models her after Ai, the Uwasa of the Anonymous A.I. She names the heroine Aoi. Sana writes the first part of the story: Aoi leaves the &amp;quot;Land of Beginnings&amp;quot; and arrives at the &amp;quot;Land of Blessings,&amp;quot; where residents constantly fight. Aoi suggests a picnic to help them understand each other. The residents grow closer. Ui enjoys the story. Sana reveals she wants to leave behind proof of Ai&#039;s existence before she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana asks Nemu for permission to use a character modelled after Ai in her picture book. Nemu agrees, saying she is happy Sana wishes to preserve Ai. Nemu advises Sana on how to become a published author: enter contests or approach publishers directly. Sana becomes discouraged when she realizes she would have to interact with people who cannot see her. She leaves feeling hopeless.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana wanders alone, feeling invisible. She helps a girl find a lost ring but is not noticed. She thinks her dream is impossible. Tsuruno, Felicia, and Ui find her, worried because she was not answering calls. Iroha and Yachiyo also arrive. Nemu calls and suggests Sana could use an agent to communicate with publishers, avoiding direct meetings. Sana regains her resolve. Yachiyo tells her not to give up on her dream. Iroha and the others promise to support her. Sana realizes she has a family to help her get back up.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana finishes her first picture book, &amp;quot;A Small Encounter.&amp;quot; The story follows Shana, an invisible girl who is found by Aoi and makes her first friend.

===Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 1 (Flashback/Reflection)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi wakes from a nap and remembers the dream she had when fused with the Kimochi. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words that helped her realize she had not truly given up. Iroha told her that those who have given up do not fight, and that Lavi came to Kamihama because she still wanted to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro (Kimochi)#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects on the hope she once held—a daydream of a peaceful life where magical girls are understood. In that dream, she helped her mother, tended fields with her grandfather, watched Urara&#039;s street performances, and attended exhibitions with Shirogane. She encountered other magical girls: Asahi, Haitani, Kuroda, Urara, and Alexandra. They fought witches together and enjoyed everyday moments. Lavi realized she had locked away this hope because remembering it was painful. But now, through her connection with Iroha and her time with Nayuta, she has begun to see the future again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 2 (Daydream/Desired Future)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi dreams of a happy future where the Automatic Purification System has spread and peace has come. She, Nayuta, and Mikage go on a trip to Yukuni. They encounter many acquaintances: Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and Mikazuki Villa. Due to a scheduling mistake, everyone arrives at the same inn on the same day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** There is not enough premium beef for dinner. The groups compete in hot spring table tennis, karaoke, and pillow fights to decide who gets the meat. Yuna cheats in table tennis and is disqualified. The karaoke machine is outdated. The pillow fight becomes chaotic. Asahi saves the day with gibier meat. Everyone shares the meal and enjoys the evening together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects that this bustling, noisy future is unlike her usual self, but she realizes she has been yearning for it deep down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 3 (Reality/Current Time)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi teaches Nayuta cooking. They discuss their futures: Nayuta wants to study magical girls at a university different from her father&#039;s. Lavi wants to help at her family&#039;s inn while spreading magical girl activities. They plan a trip with Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Upon arriving at Cradle of the Earth in Yukuni, they encounter Mikazuki Villa, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and the Tokime Clan—just as in Lavi&#039;s dream. There is again not enough meat for dinner. Lavi is overwhelmed but also excited. She realizes that even if the past cannot be undone, they can move forward together and create a bright future. She announces they will compete over the meat and create a new future with all of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Yachiyo wakes at Mikazuki Villa and briefly senses Iroha&#039;s magical signature before it disappears. She sends Felicia and Sana off to school, then meets Momoko, Rena, and Kaede for lunch. Rena confesses she screamed in class, unable to contain her frustration that everyone has forgotten Iroha. Yachiyo realizes she had convinced herself she accepted Iroha&#039;s disappearance but had actually just given up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo meets with Mifuyu, Kanagi, and Hinano to discuss Magical Girls&#039; declining mental states. That evening, she finds Sana&#039;s discarded picture book manuscript.

* Yachiyo attends the Kamihama Student Conference results meeting, where Mifuyu notes Rena has improved since seeing Iroha&#039;s signature. Yachiyo receives a call from Tsuruno: Felicia has run away. That evening, Felicia calls, planning to leave Kamihama to escape her guilt. Yachiyo tracks her location and rushes to the station with Tsuruno. Tsuruno finds Felicia, who confesses she cannot forget Iroha. Tsuruno shares Yachiyo&#039;s message: they should say &amp;quot;thank you&amp;quot; rather than &amp;quot;I&#039;m sorry.&amp;quot; Felicia agrees and returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome and Aru lead Yachiyo and Felicia to a location near the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Iroha&#039;s presence is stronger. Yachiyo suggests a picnic there. She leaves for a magazine interview, where she admits Iroha is no longer by her side. Later at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo attempts to make Iroha&#039;s hamburger steak recipe but is overwhelmed by grief and retreats to her room, admitting she fears she is breaking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane complain about being overworked as guardians of a Rumor and fear the anger of Touka, Alina, and Nemu. They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - A Taste of Hospitality|A Taste of Hospitality]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko and Ashley help Mitama film a video about her Coordinator services, whre she explains that she adjusts Soul Gems to draw out hidden potential, that she sees memories during adjustments but keeps them confidential, and that she also sells items for Magical Girls. As payment for the video, Riko gives Mitama an origami dog (Mameji) and Ashley gives her blue candy from her home, both of which Mitama puts in a box.&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, Mitama receives many gifts from Magical Girls, including Kokoro, Reira, Mito, Felicia, Ayame, Kako, Yachiyo, Karin, Himika, Rika and Emiri, the last of whom says that when people share their favorite things, it means they want to share what they love with Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama hums happily, which Momoko and Kanagi notice and feel a bad omen. Mitama announces that she wants to share what she loves with everyone and that she plans a party with food that she will cook. She asks Momoko and Kanagi to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;

===Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin===&lt;br /&gt;

* One winter’s day before Christmas, Rika and Ren go shopping together. The town has no Christmas decorations and people seem depressed. They hear a distressed voice and find Mitama, wearing a Santa&#039;s beard and hat, and she introduces herself as a Christmas Spirit. Mitama says her job is to make everyone happy, but the task is too big. She gives Rika and Ren some of her magic, explaining that the magic requires them to be perfectly attuned to each other, and then she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, a swallow Familiar appears, claiming to be Mitama’s pupil and Rika names him Chirpie. Chirpie explains that Mitama saved him when he fell from his nest and gave him magic. He can sense cowardly hearts lacking courage and Rika and Ren must drive out ten cowardly hearts to make the town happy. Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chirpie leads them to Felicia and Sana, who had accidentally smashed a cake and are now arguing about who should apologize to Yachiyo. Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;

** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 14th:&#039;&#039;&#039; On Valentine&#039;s Day, Tsuruno gives beautifully wrapped chocolates to Iroha, Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana and Ui at Mikazuki Villa. Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rise of the Waning Moon===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Rise of the Waning Moon|Rise of the Waning Moon]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day during lunch break, Kanagi goes to Himika’s classroom, telling her she just wanted to see her face, which Himika finds strange.&lt;br /&gt;
** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

* Hinano and Emiri attend a chemistry event. Hinano is excited to see a chemist who reminds her of the woman she idolized as a child—a tall, long-legged lady who taught fun chemistry experiments. Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;

The relative needs help cleaning the hotel pool because the usual staff are sick. Yachiyo hesitates due to her modeling schedule. The girls offer to help. Yachiyo calls back and confirms they will come.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group arrives at the hotel and Yachiyo&#039;s relative, an older woman, greets them warmly. She says she used to hang out with Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river. Tsuruno and Felicia compete to see who can clean faster, inventing names for their techniques. Yachiyo scolds them for being inefficient. They eventually work together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha slips and falls but is not hurt. Felicia sprays Yachiyo with the hose and Yachiyo chases her. After a few hours, they finish cleaning. The relative rewards them with fluffy shaved ice.&lt;br /&gt;
** The pool is now clean and filled with water. The girls swim and play. Tsuruno and Felicia bring water guns and spray Yachiyo. Yachiyo chases them and gets out of the pool to walk upstream, eventually catching them. They all have fun.&lt;br /&gt;

Tsuruno volunteers the group to help until the staff arrives. Yachiyo worries they might cause trouble, but Iroha, Ui, and Sana want to try. They agree to help. Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the next day, the group arrives at the pool for opening day. Yachiyo handles reception. The ticket scanner malfunctions and a line forms. Mitama appears—she had plans with Iroha that were canceled. She offers to help and fixes the scanner by hitting it. The staff member returns and takes over.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama notices Yachiyo has something on her mind and suggests she talk to someone she trusts. Iroha later asks Yachiyo to help with a crowded lunch area. Ui is taking orders with Sana&#039;s invisible help making drinks.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral. Yachiyo admits she was worried about everyone but sees they are doing fine. Iroha tells Yachiyo it is okay to worry because she cares, and they can solve problems together. Iroha notices Yachiyo has been down and offers to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
** A foam machine malfunctions, spewing foam everywhere. A guest slips and falls. The group splits up to clean the foam and help guests. Mitama fixes the machine with a whack. The support staff arrives. The girls finally have time to enjoy the pool.&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models. She does not know what to post and is shy about taking selfies. Iroha suggests posting photos of herself and takes pictures of Yachiyo on a float with the sunset. Yachiyo is embarrassed but agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Tsuruno want a turn on the float. Everyone climbs on, and Mitama takes a group photo just as they all fall into the water. Iroha loves the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the pool photos are popular online. Yachiyo&#039;s manager says going to the pool was a good move. Yachiyo thanks Iroha and says she might take her up on being her photographer again. She sends the group photo to everyone. Iroha says the photo may not be &amp;quot;social media-worthy&amp;quot; but it captures who they are. They agree to go back to the pool again—summer is just getting started.&lt;br /&gt;

They became close and talked openly with each other for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo too formal and uptight, while Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukuyo was devastated. She received a harsh message from her grandmother, punishing her for being absent without permission. She broke down crying, saying she was not a puppet for her grandmother to order around.&lt;br /&gt;

* Several days later, Tsukasa tells Tsukuyo she does not know the details of how the Magius intend to save them. She shares the full ending of the story they studied—the couple takes their own lives because they fear their love will fade. Tsukasa suggests they do the same. Tsukuyo is horrified but realizes they have no other way out.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night they decide to die, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa meet at the shrine. They decide to destroy their Soul Gems together. They hold hands and count to three. Mifuyu arrives in time to stop them.

&lt;br /&gt;
* (Return to the present) Tsukuyo reflects on how much has happened. She knows she must always be there to support Tsukasa, who can be unpredictable. She dreams of their future together—a happy ending where they live together, free from family, regional disputes, and Magical Girls. She knows it may be a long way off, but as long as she has Tsukasa, she believes they will get their happy ending.&lt;br /&gt;

* Flashback (Before Magical Girl). Tsukasa is overworked with school, chores, and finances for the workshop. She is exhausted and collapses. She wakes up in the hospital with her sister beside her.

===Nanaka Tokiwa&#039;s Heartphial Story: Schemes of a Grand Design===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka Tokiwa reflects on her life. Pride and traditions long preserved by the Tokiwa family, head of the Kashin school, were lost. Exacting revenge to reclaim it was how it all began, but she could not have foreseen the true enemy lurking in the shadows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka faces a formidable Boss Witch with her team. They withdraw due to exhaustion. Later, at Blossom, Kako worries about the Witch hurting someone. Nanaka says they need a new strategy.

* The next day, Nanaka meets with Konoha&#039;s team to discuss territorial disputes. Hazuki wants to maintain an agreement that all participants share Grief Seeds equally. Nanaka agrees but only to avoid unnecessary conflict. She sees Hazuki&#039;s personal motives and decides to do her a favor. After the meeting, Nanaka explains to her team that she wanted to observe everyone&#039;s opinions for future use. She reflects on her past—her father fell ill, his pupils took over the school, and the Tokiwa family was left in the dust. On his deathbed, her father asked her to reclaim the school. She wished for the power to evaluate who her enemies truly are. She discovered the true enemy was a Witch she named Locust. She formed a team to seek revenge.&lt;br /&gt;

** Nanaka holds a meeting. Some members want to abolish the agreement because it hinders teamwork. Nanaka agrees to first-come, first-served, adding that the first team to discover a Witch has both the right and duty to defeat it. Her team questions her decision, but she says they will see soon enough.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hazuki&#039;s team confronts Nanaka. They were forced to defeat the Boss Witch because of the &amp;quot;duty&amp;quot; clause. Hazuki says Nanaka played them. Nanaka admits she knew they could do it. Hazuki says they have scores to settle. Hazuki also mentions the Witch was strange, like it was being manipulated. Nanaka realizes the Locust is not just one Witch—the true enemy is its puppet master.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several months later (present day) Nanaka reflects that her Locust revenge story is over. The puppet master can no longer do harm. But something else is starting to creep from the shadows of Kamihama City. She will have to find out what comes next.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kako Natsume&#039;s Heartphial Story: N&#039;s Confession===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kako Natsume reflects on her life. She lost Natsume Books and her peaceful days once. But she is no longer the fearful girl she used to be. She is a girl who can choose to protect what is dear to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kako is 13 years old. Her parents run Natsume Books, a used bookstore. Books are a huge part of her life. One day, she sees Nanaka loitering by the mailbox, looking distressed. Nanaka drops a letter in the mailbox and runs off. She tells Kako to read the letter. Kako remembers the words &amp;quot;Kill her&amp;quot; and wonders why.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako recalls her past. Her family was not wealthy, but they were happy. Her father recommended books, and her mother helped her study. Then tragedy struck. A riot over land grabs broke out. Harassment of those who objected got worse. Discord grew within the community and even within their home. Her father was wound tight. Then their house was set on fire. Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
** She met a girl named &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; N told Kako who was responsible and what she needed to do to destroy them. Kako clung to her. She later learned N was manipulative and saw others as pawns. Kako hates N and wants revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found herself in a Labyrinth. Nanaka fought off Familiars but was overwhelmed. Kyubey offered Kako the chance to become a Magical Girl. Nanaka told Kako through telepathy to decide for herself what she wanted. Kako realized she hated feeling helpless. She wished to see her family smiling again and to get Natsume Books back. She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kako learned Nanaka faked her struggle to entrap her into making the wish. Nanaka had pulled this trick on others to use them as pawns. Kako could not forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako and Nanaka fought Witches together. Nanaka encouraged Kako and told her she was better suited to being a Magical Girl than Nanaka was. Kako wanted to get stronger. Nanaka wrote a letter confessing her deception and asking Kako to kill her. Kako made up her mind to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka.

* A few days later, Rena calls Himika. She saw the Baby Bunny pouch in a crane game at an arcade. Himika, Kako, Ayame, Rena, and Kaede go to the arcade. The pouch is in the replenishment case, meaning Himika must win all the Mocha Bunnies already out to reach it. Himika decides to use a strategy but is short on money.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika observes other players to learn techniques, calling it &amp;quot;crane training.&amp;quot; She strategizes to create an avalanche by knocking down piles of plushies.

Rika messages her to join everyone for snacks. Ren goes to meet them.&lt;br /&gt;

* Three days before the competition, Koshino beats Masara&#039;s record once. The swim club captain praises her. Masara feels something but cannot identify it. She is not annoyed. She does not know what she feels.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day before the competition, Koshino has an accident and cannot compete. Masara agrees to take her place. She is surprised by her own motivation. Kokoro notices the change.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the competition, Masara swims well. Her team finishes second, but she was in the lead when passing the baton. Koshino comes to watch and thanks Masara for doing the race for her. Kokoro says Masara has changed. Masara decides she wants to keep swimming a while longer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika Ayano&#039;s Heartphial Story: Haunting Love, Haunting Mistake===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika Ayano reflects on her life. She does not want to feel like she became a Magical Girl for nothing. She got to see what dating is like and made loads of friends. But sins do not wash away so easily. That is the price you pay for a miracle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback, but the entirety seems like mostly a flashback) Kyubey offers Rika any wish in exchange for becoming a Magical Girl. Hinano warns her not to do it, but Rika ignores the advice. She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Riko Chiaki&#039;s Heartphial Story: Worked Out with a Woof===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki reflects on her life. Even though her mom and dad were hardly home because of work, she never felt lonely as long as Miss K was around. She cared about her so much that she just wanted to help her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback) Riko helps out at her parents&#039; bento store. She is close with Miss K, the daughter of the hardware store owner next door. Miss K has always been like a big sister to her. Miss K cries to Riko that her father opposes her marriage because he does not want her to move far away. Riko wishes to Kyubey for Miss K&#039;s marriage to be accepted. She becomes a Magical Girl. Miss K gets married and moves away. Riko misses her but does not regret her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Riko goes filming with Ashley. She tells Ashley about Miss K. She explains that Miss K&#039;s father never fully accepted the marriage, and they have not made up. Riko receives a message from Miss K saying she was in the hospital because she was pregnant. She invites Riko to visit her new house. Riko goes and meets the baby. Miss K asks Riko to be friends with her child. Riko becomes like a big sister to the baby. She feels happy that her wish came true but is sad Miss K and her father never reconciled.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko walks Mameji and sees Miss K&#039;s father standing outside the hardware store, looking sad. She wonders what is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley advises Riko to ask Miss K directly if she wants to make up with her father. Riko texts Miss K and asks to meet. Miss K replies that she will come to Riko&#039;s town instead. Riko is excited.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Miss K visits Riko. They talk about her father. Miss K says she wants to make up with him but does not know how. Riko suggests inviting him to meet the baby, giving him a present, or going on a family trip. Miss K doubts any of it will work. They walk to Riko&#039;s store together. They encounter Miss K&#039;s father outside. Riko admits she asked Miss K to come so they could patch things up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Miss K&#039;s father reveals he brought a herbarium to Riko&#039;s store. It was originally meant as a gift for his grandchild, but he could not bring himself to deliver it. Riko realizes Mameji had been guiding her this whole time. Earlier, Mameji had barked at the cake that turned out to be from Miss K&#039;s father. Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky. She realizes she is dying, having protected Yachiyo. She remembers how everyone was fighting for dear life. She wished she were stronger to help them. She is sorry for not being stronger. She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ashley Taylor&#039;s Heartphial Story: Can&#039;t Be Myself Without What I Love===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley Taylor reflects on her life. Studying in Japan is awesome fun. She wants to find more kawaii for her vlog viewers back home and asks her father to watch over her while she pursues her passions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley vlogs with Riko&#039;s help. She films herself shopping for Magical Kirin merch and gurokawa items. After editing and uploading the video, she replies to comments from her followers. She thinks about her father and hopes he is watching.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley remembers the day she wanted to study abroad in Japan. Her father refused without giving a clear reason, which was unusual. Kyubey appeared and offered to grant any wish. Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko notices Ashley seems down. She worries Ashley is overworking herself by vlogging daily and replying to comments late at night. Ashley says it does not feel like work because she loves it. She thanks Riko for being a kind friend. They go out to film another vlog.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley continues vlogging daily. She worries about skipping a day because her followers might unfollow her. She wakes up to find Kumanosuke missing. She panics, feeling like her world is ending. Riko arrives with a bento and finds Ashley crying. Ashley explains she lost Kumanosuke. Riko comforts her and says it is okay to skip a vlog. Ashley admits she has been using followers&#039; comments to fill the hole left by her father&#039;s death. Riko says she understands loss—she misses her sister who moved far away. They decide to search for Kumanosuke.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko suggests Ashley ask her followers for help finding Kumanosuke. During a live stream, a commenter suggests rewatching her previous vlog. Ashley realizes she left Kumanosuke on a chair when she got distracted by a crane machine. They find Kumanosuke on a shelf at the store, dressed in Waloli Gurokawa clothes. Ashley gets him back. She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

* At the hospital, a nurse tries to convince Touka to eat her carrots. Touka refuses unless her terms are met: she wants specific books brought to her. The books are Hachslingen&#039;s &amp;quot;General Theory of the Origin of the Universe,&amp;quot; Cosinberg&#039;s &amp;quot;Celestial Forces,&amp;quot; and Dadatri&#039;s &amp;quot;Glimmer of the Planet.&amp;quot; She claims no one will hand them over. The nurse eventually gives up on the carrots.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Future Relationships|Future Relationships ~Current Status with Onee-sama~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha arrives, having been called by Ui. Ui admits she asked Iroha to search for the books Touka wanted, having written out the titles for her. Iroha apologizes, explaining she could not find them no matter how she searched. Touka becomes flustered.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu deduces that Touka is acting like Princess Kaguya, requesting treasures she knows do not exist to avoid eating her carrots. Exposed, Touka reluctantly eats a carrot. Nemu thanks Iroha and makes Touka apologize for the trouble. Touka gives a half-hearted apology.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the girls play a number-guessing game. Touka wins five times in a row. Iroha suggests Touka and Nemu call her something more casual. Touka chooses &amp;quot;Onee-sama.&amp;quot; Nemu asks to call her &amp;quot;Onee-san.&amp;quot; Iroha happily agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka eagerly awaits Iroha&#039;s arrival to play Old Maid, noting Iroha has won first place seven times in a row but that her face always gives the game away. Nemu observes to Ui that Touka frequently says &amp;quot;Onee-sama&amp;quot; now, likely because Iroha is her first elder sister. Nemu quietly reflects that Iroha is her first Onee-san as well. Iroha arrives and greets them all warmly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A familiar appears and attacks. Touka is overwhelmed. Iroha arrives and fights it off, guided by Kyubey. She expresses concern for Ui and her friends. Ui realizes it really is her big sister and Touka recognizes Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call|Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wait, You Got It Wrong!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayu Kozue&#039;s most treasured possession is a bear pendant her father carved for her before he died. When a hand-drawn postcard is stolen from the museum where she works, security footage shows her friend Ria at the scene moments later. Mayu cannot reach Ria and suspects a Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~|Wait, You Got It Wrong! / Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While searching for Ria, Mayu encounters Asuka Tatsuki, whose family&#039;s invaluable book of secrets was also stolen. A witness described a blonde girl in a Mizuna uniform—Ria. They find Sayuki Fumino crying over her stolen sword book, then Rena Minami who was bumped by the same girl. At Walnut&#039;s restaurant, Manaka Kurumi accuses Ria of stealing a rice omelet. A Witch barrier appears, and after Mayu and Asuka defeat the Familiars, Ria arrives demanding to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka challenges Ria to a duel over the thefts, and Ria loses. She confesses to something embarrassing, and everyone assumes she means the thefts—but she meant a binder of idol clippings she desperately hopes no one saw. She was only chasing the Witch to recover her own stolen belongings. Relieved, Mayu and Asuka join her. They track and defeat the Witch, recovering most items, but the museum postcard, the dojo book, and Ria&#039;s binder remain missing. They agree to search again tomorrow. That night, Mayu dreams of her father, who tells her material things are destined to break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, thefts continue across the city. Mayu realizes the Witch they defeated was only a Familiar and the real Witch is still out there. She offers her precious pendant as bait to track it. Despite Ria&#039;s protests, Mayu uses it, and they follow the magic trail to the Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After a difficult battle, they recover all stolen items, though Mayu&#039;s pendant is scratched and its chain broken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu is unbothered. She explains that material possessions naturally break, but the memories they hold remain in her heart—a lesson from her father. Asuka and Ria are moved, and Mayu turns to walk home, promptly falls into a lake, and flounders while Ria sighs that she has not changed at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor she calls Miss K. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Miss K with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Miss K&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Miss K to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

===&amp;quot;Let&#039;s hit the Suitoku baths! (Music Collection 1 bonus drama)&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo, Iroha, and Sana prepare a meal. Felicia reluctantly helps. Tsuruno arrives with a flyer for Suitokuyu, a public bathhouse holding an event as part of a shopping district revitalization plan. She invites everyone to go together. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the bathhouse, they read the posted rules. Tsuruno pretends to be a &amp;quot;bathhouse master&amp;quot; and teaches them. Sana becomes embarrassed about being naked in front of everyone. Yachiyo understands her feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Villa. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;
~A Little Break For Us~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===This is The Warmest Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha is going about her day when Sana, Felicia, and Ui present her with a pinwheel and ask her to blow on it. Though confused by their strange behavior, Iroha does as they ask and the girls thank her before quickly scampering off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~#This Is The Warmest Day Login Special|This is The Warmest Day]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts. When Yachiyo asks Iroha&#039;s opinion, Iroha expresses her love for shortcake and suggests they bake one immediately, but Yachiyo insists she wait for the right moment, which will come sooner than she thinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Lavi is shopping when Nayuta finds her to share news about her math test score. They return home where Lavi prepares dinner, and Nayuta discovers Lavi earned perfect scores in every subject, highlighting the gap between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House|The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day while Lavi runs errands, Nayuta confides in Mikage about her fears that Lavi only respects her father and secretly resents serving her. Seeking answers, Nayuta visits Mitama, who suggests that kindness and broad-mindedness are the traits she needs to develop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Nayuta observes how hard Lavi works attending school, studying, handling housework, and fighting witches. Worried she might collapse, Nayuta offers Lavi time off for her upcoming sixteenth birthday and secretly plans a surprise party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later on Lavi&#039;s birthday, Nayuta and Mikage struggle through cleaning the house and preparing a celebration. Their efforts are interrupted when Lavi returns early for lunch, scolds them for the mess, but leaves again at Nayuta&#039;s insistence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Lavi returns that evening, the handmade kusudama falls onto the cake and catches fire. Lavi extinguishes it with water, and Nayuta is left mortified as her surprise party fails spectacularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Nayuta senses lingering coldness from Lavi and struggles to find the right way to apologize. Remembering her father&#039;s example, she decides to catch and cook a fish as an apology gift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day at a fishing center, Nayuta encounters girls from the Tokime clan who teach her how to gut fish. Despite being disturbed by the process, she perseveres and eventually catches the exact fish she wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning home late, Nayuta discovers a threatening letter addressed to Lavi and deduces it must be connected to the serious trouble from Lavi&#039;s hometown. She rushes to the market street with Mikage to protect her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the market street, Nayuta confronts the man speaking with Lavi, declaring herself as Satomi Tasuke&#039;s daughter to intimidate him. The man reveals he is simply a stalker with no connection to Lavi&#039;s past, and when he becomes agitated, Nayuta tackles him unconscious as a crowd applauds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Nayuta presents the cooked fish and apologizes. Lavi admits she was barely angry anymore and thanks Nayuta for protecting her, acknowledging she was just like her father in that moment. Nayuta produces a second kusudama and cake, and this time the celebration succeeds. As they pick confetti from the cake, Lavi quietly says she will continue to admire Nayuta until the final day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Art 02 01 0003 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune. The Rumor says that if you receive the book and find a drawing of yourself, the sketched event will happen and if you try to stop it, a creature named Ketch drags you into the book. Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Art 02 01 0010 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day|Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Rumored Temp Counselor===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

===Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away|Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

Ryoko notices Sakuya&#039;s exhaustion and decides something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ryoko tracks Sakuya down at her school, creating a scene about missing shoes that sparks gossip. After learning Sakuya may be engineering her own isolation, Ryoko continues her efforts to help, but Sakuya runs away each time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Ryoko investigates and discovers Sakuya hid her own shoes and started the gossip to isolate herself. Sakuya confesses she killed her best friend in the war and must remain alone to avoid hurting anyone else. Ryoko declares she will save Sakuya by becoming her best friend, and they fight until exhausted. That night, Sakuya dreams of her deceased friend, who thanks her and tells her to move forward. She wakes to find Ryoko collapsed from hunger, and they talk for hours like ordinary friends. Though they agree they cannot meet again until the battles are over, they promise to become true friends then.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the following days, Sakuya returns to normal life by socializing with classmates, sleeping better, and regaining her spirits. Ryoko gains a new goal: to free Sakuya from the things that bind her, once and for all, when the time is right.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls in Kush, who transforms into a vampire and she wins the contest. Natsuki takes second place and Karin takes third place. A commemorative photo is taken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin completes her manga, &amp;quot;The Pumpkin King and the Ghost Servant.&amp;quot; She shows it to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede who praise it, giving it 100 points or more. Kaede appreciates the happy ending. Karin is moved by Kaede&#039;s approval. Manaka arrives with pumpkin pie for a taste test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the Sakae Halloween Festa, Karin arrives at the festival in her Pumpkin King costume. Alina is also present, already dressed as the ghost servant from Karin&#039;s manga. Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head of the executive committee thanks Karin for recommending Alina as the face of the event. Karin reflects on her hope that Alina will one day atone for her sins and reach a happy ending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mikage wonders if she might become famous but worries about sketchy people, and Mitama jokingly offers to beat them up. Mikage asks if they can make real chocolate together, but Mitama needs to go to her coordinator shop. Mikage promises to do things that make her sister smile instead, and Mitama suggests they make Valentine&#039;s chocolate together next year.

* At Promised Blood&#039;s base, Yuna notices her teammates have been acting strangely, as Sakuya reads romance columns, Juri studies constantly, and Urara stares at Hikaru without speaking. After the meeting, Yuna confides in Hikaru that she feels guilty for not noticing everyone&#039;s exhaustion and decides to solve each person&#039;s problems personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend. Though relieved it&#039;s not her own love life, Yuna insists on helping anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s place, the group brainstorms confession advice. The conversation shifts when Ao receives a text from her parents—she&#039;s been lying to them about her late nights as a magical girl, claiming she&#039;s in an e-sports tournament. To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the online tournament, chaos ensues as Juri attacks teammates, Hikaru sets the kitchen on fire, and Yuna fails at selling merchandise. Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the student council meeting, Yuna honestly requests more time to handle personal matters, promising to dedicate herself fully afterward. The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka-senpai&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Day in the Life of Madoka-senpai===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

==Magia Record Events==&lt;br /&gt;
===See You Tomorrow===&lt;br /&gt;
* One morning at the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira greets an older neighbor who warns her about increasing danger in the area. Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them. The girl agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, finishing the final preparations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day of the school festival proceeds without major incident. Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, sampling food and enjoying the event. They take a photo together at the repaired arch—Tsumugi, Manaka, and the transfer student in her uniform. The transfer student reflects later that she will cherish the photo forever, grateful for the kindness she did not feel she deserved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Autumn of Reading===&lt;br /&gt;
This seems to have been an event without story. Needs to be re-checked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Girls in the Hood===&lt;br /&gt;
* An earthquake strikes the city, and on a rooftop, Jun Kazari drops both her yo-yo and her soul gem while practicing tricks. She chases after the soul gem, while the yo-yo falls into the hood of Mitsune Miwa, a hikikomori watching a performance below. Mitsune decides to return it and runs up the stairs, where she collides with Jun. Jun explains she needs her soul gem, and Mitsune returns the yo-yo. A Witch&#039;s barrier appears around them, and Jun transforms to fight while telling Mitsune to close her eyes. Mitsune peeks, collapses after seeing the Witch die, and Jun carries her outside, claiming it was all a dream. Jun insists on treating Mitsune since she saved her yo-yo, and takes her to a candy store called Tomorrow Shop. Jun introduces her to the children there, and Mitsune is amazed by how loved Jun is. Mitsune must leave by 6 PM, and Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Girls in the Hood|Girls in the Hood]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitsune returns to the shop and sees Kanae Yukino talking with Jun. Mitsune detours down an alley and is caught in a Witch&#039;s barrier. Kanae enters first, and Jun follows to save Mitsune. They defeat the Witch together, and Mitsune wakes in a park. Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop&amp;quot; again, and Mitsune smiles and agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Jun talks to Kyubey about having no friends her own age, while Mitsune researches online and finds rumors about magical girls and the Tomorrow Shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Jun and the shop owner discover that Mitsune is their neighbor. Mitsune asks Jun about what she saw, but Jun says she forgot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitsune later sees Kanae talking to Kyubey and follows her, but is pulled into a Familiar&#039;s labyrinth. Jun saves her, and Mitsune directly asks if Jun is a magical girl. Jun begins explaining Witches, Familiars, and magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mitsune admits she still cannot go to school or make friends. Jun says she also struggles with friends. Mitsune wonders if she should become a magical girl, but Jun yells at her not to. Mitsune leaves upset. Kanae warns Jun that Mitsune has the qualities to become a magical girl, and Jun reveals she is moving away from Kamihama. She used her wish to save the shop, but now realizes other things are more important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Jun tells Mitsune she is moving next week and that magical girls do not have the kind of magic Mitsune dreams of. Mitsune must make her own dreams come true. Jun promises to prove she does not need magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Jun finds that the children and Mitsune went to explore Shinsei Ward without her. She finds them at an abandoned construction site where Mitsune encountered a Witch. Mitsune sent the children away but stayed behind. Jun arrives and uses a homemade bomb to damage the Witch before they escape.

[[Magia Record Event - The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf|The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo bumps into Tsuruno on a day when school is out. Yachiyo has a job performing in a recorded drama with Sayuki that will be screened on Tanabata. Tsuruno recalls Yachiyo&#039;s poor performance in Karin&#039;s Halloween play and decides to join her to help. Yachiyo welcomes her.&lt;br /&gt;
** On set, Ria and Mayu are assisting with makeup and costumes. Yachiyo recognizes Ria, calls her by name, and praises her work, causing Ria to internally fangirl. Yachiyo grows anxious seeing so many Magical Girls gathered, recalling how a previous production with magical girls turned into a disaster. Tsuruno reassures her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wins over the production team with her exuberance. The play&#039;s co-star drops out, and the director asks Tsuruno to take the role. She eagerly accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a fairy tale about an ancient Mizuna legend. Two girls, Tsuyu and Chizuru, befriend each other despite their families&#039; rivalry and join forces to punish a selfish lord. Yachiyo plays Tsuyu, the ice queen with a heart of gold. Tsuruno plays Chizuru, the cheerful and impetuous girl. Sayuki plays the Magpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** During the script reading, everyone realizes Yachiyo&#039;s acting skills are still terrible. Yachiyo confides that she has turned down many acting jobs but accepted this one because the director begged her, even if she flops. She vows to see it through to expand her repertoire. Tsuruno promises to stay by her side.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria is in shock seeing her idol perform poorly. The filmmakers work around it by taking away Yachiyo&#039;s lines. Ria confronts Yachiyo and Tsuruno after the reading, declaring she will give Yachiyo an acting bootcamp. She does not want Yachiyo&#039;s performance to drag down her makeup work or her reputation as Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at home, Yachiyo reviews the script. Tsuruno explains the Mizuna fairy tale to the rest of Mikazuki. Felicia becomes interested when she learns there are fight scenes. Tsuruno explains that the day Tsuyu and Chizuru teamed up was Tanabata, and people in Kamihama entrust their wishes to them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next week or so, Yachiyo is drilled on acting with a professional coach and Ria&#039;s guidance. She eventually executes her lines perfectly and Ria is relieved.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;

Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Big Sis, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward.

* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Touka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Hazuki and Nanaka team up with Ui to teach her how to defeat witches. Ui claims her first victory and receives a grief seed as a reward while Touka and Nemu tag along to offer congratulations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui suddenly realizes she loves the choir and wants to become a music teacher. She excitedly shares this revelation with her family and friends and resolves to work hard toward this future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art. The Amanes are relieved, and Tsukuyo suggests they play their flutes at the shrine on the way home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Both affirm that their only allies are each other, and they will always be together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends. Before Hibari&#039;s family moved away, she performed a charm ritual on Aru and promised they would meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message that Hibari is coming to visit Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After some confusion about directions, they reach the arcade where Hibari wins a crane game prize and helps Juri win one too. Hibari suddenly becomes pale and goes to get change, but she does not return. Kagome calls her and Hibari thanks her for being friends before saying goodbye, with an ambulance audible in the background.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome discovers a crowd under a Witch&#039;s Kiss heading toward a rooftop and sends emergency messages to every Magical Girl she knows. Himena&#039;s group arrives to help hold back the crowd, but other girls cannot come due to similar incidents elsewhere. Shizuka finally checks her phone and rushes over with the Tokime Clan just as someone threatens to ignite kerosene. They stop the crowd while Juri and Ao defeat the Witch with Livia&#039;s help. The Witch&#039;s Kiss is lifted and Hibari wakes up confused, with Livia covering that she collapsed from anemia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari admits she felt faint because seeing Kagome surrounded by friends made her happy but also made her feel left behind and alone. Kagome insists Hibari is wrong and promises to come running whenever Hibari is in trouble, asking them to stay best friends forever. Hibari reveals the two wishes she made when they parted came true: that she could speak her mind loudly and that Kagome would make lots of friends. They renew their promise to remain best friends forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They bonded over a shared love of &amp;quot;The Adventure of Mandragora.&amp;quot; Hibari gave Kagome a Mandragora plushie named Al-chan and asked to be friends. Kagome learned ventriloquism through Al-chan and grew more confident. The two became inseparable.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kagome&#039;s family moved due to her father&#039;s job transfer, Hibari put a charm on Al-chan with a secret wish. They promised to meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message from Hibari saying she will visit Kamihama. Kagome prepares to show her around.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives in Kamihama. Kagome is happy to see her. They go to the arcade. On the way, they run into Himena and her group. Kagome introduces Hibari. Later, Kagome helps Shizuka, who was lost and struggling with a foreigner. Hibari is impressed by how much Kagome has grown.&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the arcade. Hibari wins a plushie from a difficult crane game in one try. Juri, Yuna, and Ao appear. Juri asks Hibari to win a prize for her. Hibari succeeds. Juri offers a drink as thanks, but Hibari declines.&lt;br /&gt;

* Day 4&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri struggled at school, frustrated by classmates who avoided conflict and teachers who enabled them. Her anger built up. She reflected on how she became a Magical Girl—she wished for a patient, stout heart to stay in school and not burden her father. The wish gave her patience but did not eliminate her anger; it built up as flames until she exploded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl Yuna introduced continued to spar with Juri. The girl revealed Juri had saved her from a Witch, and she admired Juri.

*Day 7 (Present Day)&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri explained the rest of the story to the group. The accident triggered the Blood Tragedy of Futatsugi. Ranka had been exploited by Monzenbashi Bat, and Ao formed Janomiya. Juri reflected that the recent months had been the toughest. She came home late again. Her father asked about her absences. Juri said she was fighting for the future and would explain in a few months. She reflected on how much she and her father were alike, both unable to ignore past stains. She said she liked being with him, just the two of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Emiri asks what country life is like; Chiharu and Sunao give different answers from Shizuka since they are more familiar with modern living. They mention meeting only recently, surprising Emiri. Shizuka proudly explains they are bound by their duty to protect Japan, and Emiri says, “As long as you have no regrets, it’s okay.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After thinking it over, she searches for information with help from others, but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hinano explains that because the agreement fell through, local manufacturers like Kanoko’s father stayed in business, so there was little news. Chiharu and Sunao arrange a meeting at the factory and bring Shizuka. Kanoko’s father tells Shizuka his factory would have failed otherwise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Shigure and Hagumu grow close but quickly become jaded. Their families and classmates resent their constant lateness, which comes from Magius work no one can know about.

* Hagumu reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. After Walpurgisnacht, the organization dissolved, and many former Feathers joined the Kamihama Magia Union. Hagumu is uncertain, as she believes in Magical Girl Supremacy and cannot accept the Union&#039;s ideology of liberation without sacrifice. Shigure contacts her, asking to meet and talk. Shigure wants to convince Touka and Nemu to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Hagumu is conflicted—she cannot trust the Magius after being exploited, but she also cannot decide what to do. She asks for time to think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hagumu Azumi#Side Story|Hagumu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu meets Maria, a former Magius member who joined the Union. Maria notices Hagumu looks unwell and offers to listen. Hagumu explains her dilemma: she cannot agree with the Union&#039;s ideology, but she also cannot follow Shigure&#039;s plan. Maria suggests Hagumu ask other Magical Girls how they decided. Hagumu recalls her wish was made in haste to save a woman under a Witch&#039;s Kiss, and she regrets not choosing a better wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Moka why she joined the Union. Moka says she joined because she was invited and everyone is kind. Hagumu sees Moka is honest and never doubts people, which is why everyone supports her. Hagumu realizes they are completely different—Moka has people who protect her, while Hagumu feels she has nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Yukika, a former Black Feather, why she declined the Union. Yukika says she did not want to drag others into trouble. Hagumu sees Yukika has strong convictions and follows them, unlike herself. Hagumu feels more discouraged.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches. Hagumu is moved but asks for more time to discuss it with Shigure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hagumu senses a Witch and goes to help. She sees Riko, an elementary schooler, defeating the Witch on her own. Hagumu realizes her ability to fight Witches is not special—any Magical Girl can do it. She feels her &amp;quot;glass slippers&amp;quot; are cracking and shattering. She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Miyuri&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena, Alexandra, Hagumu, and Shigure watch as San stretches Miyuri. Miyuri&#039;s loud reactions draw attention. Himena asks about Miyuri&#039;s inline skating. Miyuri explains she started skating as a child because she was bad at running and her parents bought her skates. She fell in love with the feeling of cutting through the wind and quickly improved, eventually competing in freestyle competitions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Miyuri Yukari#Side Story|Miyuri&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s social anxiety worsened. She began experiencing panic attacks at competitions and could no longer compete. Her parents signed her up with the Hikarizuka Youth Association to help her interact with people. There, she met San for the first time. San invited her to dance practice. Miyuri fainted from overexcitement while watching San&#039;s legs. She realized she had a leg fetish and that it triggered her anxiety. She began avoiding San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s skating practice suffered. Her mother suggested she visit the Community Center. Miyuri avoided San again and went outside to practice skating alone at night. She felt free and happy while skating. San saw her dancing in the moonlight and was mesmerized. San decided she wanted to help Miyuri grow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish. San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri learned her new power shortened her experience of anxiety. She became more confident but still fainted easily. She fought Witches alone, often blacking out and going berserk.

San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training. Touka and Nemu suggested San should train Miyuri since she could still hear San&#039;s voice when unconscious. San agreed and became Miyuri&#039;s instructor. Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Lavi explains she used to have a frail body as a child due to an unidentifiable condition. Her grandfather grew organic vegetables, which eased her symptoms. However, a severe storm destroyed the field&#039;s soil, making it impossible to grow vegetables. Lavi wished to restore the soil and became a Magical Girl. Her wish saved the field and gave hope to others. She admits her improved health was partly due to becoming a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The meal is delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After making the newspaper, Nayuta and Mikage fall asleep. Lavi reflects on her past. She reveals that she never found joy in living despite her family&#039;s efforts. Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true. She asks for a little more time in her beloved daily life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Asahi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime Tribe holds a celebration to welcome Asahi. During introductions, Chiharu rambles excitedly about her favorite shows, and Asahi finds herself intrigued. When pressed to share more about herself, Asahi talks about hunting and the importance of minimizing suffering. That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun. Everyone apologizes, and they end the day with a shared dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** In the dream, Alexandra&#039;s teacher appears—but he looks like Shigure. Other people appear as Himena and Hagumu. She recalls that her teacher was her math teacher and club advisor. He was strict and had a reputation for being scary. Alexandra remembers how she would complain about him with her classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After club activities, Alexandra wants to practice singing more. She goes to the rooftop and finds the teacher there. He allows her to practice under his supervision. They begin meeting regularly on the rooftop. She learns he does not smoke and is careful about his throat. He mentions that being an adult is not that great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A male classmate confesses to Alexandra. She almost accepts but pictures the teacher&#039;s face and realizes she loves someone else. She rejects the classmate. Later, it rains, and the teacher lends her his towel. She realizes she has fallen in love with him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She keeps trying to convey her feelings, but he never takes her seriously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra&#039;s behavior becomes obvious in class. She eagerly volunteers to answer questions and is overly happy when called on. Her classmates are amazed she can talk to the scary teacher so cheerfully. She learns everyone fears him. She asks why he became a teacher, and he admits his parents were teachers and he had wanted to be a singer but never pursued it. He wonders if there is any meaning to his life. Alexandra feels sorrow and wants him to be happy. She begins planning to improve his reputation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey appears and offers to grant any wish. Alexandra wants to capture the teacher&#039;s heart through her own efforts. She decides not to make a wish yet. She organizes a surprise birthday party for him with her classmates. He is genuinely happy and thanks her. He realizes she planned it. She tells him all the students respect him. He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra continues her jokes and attempts to get closer to the teacher. She jokes about marriage and asks for a date on the school trip. He unexpectedly agrees to go shopping with her for a few minutes. She hugs him in excitement. A classmate spots them on the rooftop. Rumors spread quickly. The principal calls the teacher in. He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra cannot wake up from the dream. She imagines the teacher scolding her for playing with his feelings. She decides she needs to apologize in real life. She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love. She tells him her feelings were not a deception—they were true love. She thanks him for a wonderful time and says she now only places her faith in Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She decides to coach Rei properly. Lavi offers to stay and help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara and Rei practice together. Lavi advises on timing. Rei successfully performs the trick. Urara tells her to remember the joy of performing, not just winning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rei competes and wins her first cup by performing the Urara Special, a trick even the prodigy could not do. Rei thanks Urara. Urara realizes that coaching helped her grow and face her regrets about Kurara. Rei asks Urara to be her permanent coach. Urara agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara returns to the Folklore base. She announces she will continue coaching diabolo classes. She wants to pass down her goal of making people smile through diabolo acts to the next generation. Lavi and the others support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nayuta&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta dreams of proving folkloric studies superior to Touka, but Lavi wakes her with obnoxious humming. Lavi scolds her for being a deep sleeper and rushes her to school in Takarazaki City, where Nayuta complains that Lavi acts like a stern stepmother rather than a kind maid her age.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In class, a self‑assessment exercise has Nayuta describe herself as quiet and diligent, but her peers call her stubborn, someone who hates losing and speaks her mind. She reluctantly accepts “stubborn” fits her persistent search for her father. The teacher introduces the Johari Window, explaining that without communication people understand themselves at most fifty percent and others only twenty‑five percent—a lesson that sticks with Nayuta.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Nayuta meets Iroha at the train station. Both are surprised the other remembers them. They discover they are the same grade and both hail from Takarazaki, and Iroha mentions she also searched for a lost loved one. Nayuta requests to see Yachiyo, apologizing for her bluntness. Iroha reassures her, noting they are both stubborn junior‑high girls from Takarazaki who came to Kamihama to find someone important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Yachiyo has no new information about Nayuta’s father. Tsuruno has Nayuta show a photo, but no one recognizes him. Felicia suggests Nayuta simply ask Touka, since she also grew up at Satomi Medical Center. Nayuta refuses, saying she cannot trust Touka, and apologizes for her stubbornness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Nayuta admits to Lavi she slept poorly because she cannot stop thinking about Touka. Mikage arrives, upset after a fight with Sudachi: Mikage complained about school, Sudachi said she envied Mikage for being able to attend, and they argued over whose position was harder.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home. Lavi approves of her standing her ground, and Nayuta realizes she and Lavi are more alike than she thought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Himika tells her about Emiri’s counseling center, so they go there together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the center, Emiri, Sasara, Asuka, and Kanoko are delighted to meet Mitama’s little sister. Mikage explains she is looking for a friend, but Emiri points out they are already her friends. After some banter about fashion, Mikage tries on Kanoko’s outfits and has a wonderful time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mikage wonders if the older girls truly see her as a friend or just as a kid. Himika suggests she meet girls her own age like Ui, Touka, and Nemu, though Mikage is uncertain about befriending the geniuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When she returns home, Mitama warns her that Ui has been kidnapped by Promised Blood and forbids Mikage from associating with the Kamihama Magia Union. Mikage reluctantly agrees but is frustrated her efforts to make friends have been stopped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama leaves for work and Mikage accuses her of hypocrisy—Mitama can spend time with the KMU while Mikage cannot. She runs out, declaring she will find a new big sister. She finds Emiri’s office closed but runs into Rika and Ren, who quickly realize she is Mitama’s sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Mikage bond over fashion and go to some cheap stores, where Mikage realizes she left her wallet. They play a crane game instead, and Rika wins stuffed animals for Ren and Mikage. Mikage asks Rika to be her big sister; Rika declines but encourages her to talk to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory. Kanoko lets her help make a pendant, but before Mikage can convince her to become her sister, Mitama arrives and drags her home. Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any. Later, she finds Mitama has made all her favorite foods, and they reconcile off‑screen; Mikage gives Mitama the pendant she made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage declares she will not give up on making Kamihama Magia Union friends. She then decides that since Lavi and Nayuta are older, they can be her big sisters instead. They exchange a look and agree to treat her for one day. Mikage expresses her hope that someday she and Sudachi can play with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yozuru plays piano at a pharmacist’s request, impressing everyone, then meets Livia Medeiros and Sudachi Sawa. Sudachi exposes Mifuyu, who decides to introduce herself directly. Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yozuru meets Livia and Sudachi again. Yozuru worries she lacks the kindness to be a good coordinator, but Livia encourages her. Sudachi’s stomach rumbles, and Yozuru prepares snacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yozuru replies that her mother trained her to face worse and declares she will live to the fullest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited again. She jokes about the visitor&#039;s persistence. Yozuru and Sudachi return from stocking up on essentials. Sudachi trips, and Yozuru hesitates to help. Livia instructs Yozuru to help Sudachi stand and dust her off. Yozuru apologizes and explains she is not equipped with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the trailer, Yozuru offers tea. Sudachi wants teacakes. Livia allows them to have some as a treat. Livia reflects that she needs to help the girls mature. Yozuru has lost compassion, while Sudachi needs to find her words. Livia believes they will complement each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is found sleeping and crying. Yozuru gives her a handkerchief. Livia says crying in sleep happens occasionally and is common among Coordinators. She thanks Sudachi for finding her dropped ring. Sudachi sulks when Livia refuses to give her sweets as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the ring is a treasure and a way of reprimanding herself. It is the reason she lives for &amp;quot;Mister Sun.&amp;quot; She says she may tell the full story another time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia shares her philosophy: no matter how awful life is, do not drift in a bad direction or relieve resentment with a curse. Magical Girls are born from hope and must overcome struggles with hope. She warns against corrupting purity and urges supporting those with pure hearts. She says she has said enough for now and will share the rest when she is ready. She asks the visitor to promise to live strong, face forward, and not end up like her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After the battle, Nanaka explains Lil&#039; Kyubey followed her into the labyrinth and returned a flower she dropped. Nanaka asks Ryo to tell Lil&#039; Kyubey to stop visiting unfriendly Magical Girls. Ryo realizes Lil&#039; Kyubey avoids girls with potential and is not soliciting anyone. She writes an article correcting her earlier suspicions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Ui finishes her journal. Touka and Nemu read it and use it as qualitative data. They debate whether Lil&#039; Kyubey is mimicking humans or simply reinforcing Ui&#039;s actions. Iroha suggests Lil&#039; Kyubey is supporting them in their efforts to free all Magical Girls. Lil&#039; Kyubey agrees, and Iroha thanks it for accompanying them. She says they will continue together from now on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This is also belonging to the anime partly. Write the main part on the magia record and then the second part on the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices.

* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the boy reads the fairy tale Kuroe recommended. He questions a detail in the story, but Kuroe simply accepts it because the writer says so. He jokes that he feels alive because Kuroe thinks so deeply, meaning it as a compliment.

She asks peers what they would wish for, but ends up jealous of those with elaborate fantasies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at school, Kuroe reflects that she was happy at first. The boy talks to her daily, and she finally feels she belongs. She joins the rhythmic gymnastics club, and her boyfriend asks her to see a movie based on one of her book recommendations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the movie, Kuroe enjoys herself but senses a Witch and abruptly leaves her boyfriend. Inside the Labyrinth, she learns a child got in, and though she defeats the Witch, she fails to save the child. Consumed by guilt, she begs God not to forgive her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As time passes, Kuroe continues fighting Witches but grows increasingly broken by her failures. Kyubey asks her, “Who would save those humans if you stopped fighting?”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Before she knows it, Kuroe is a third-year middle school student. Her boyfriend notices she seems distracted. She stays after school for help on an essay, and he remarks she is too serious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* At home she prays for a life without fighting or seeing people die. At school, in a depressed mood, she asks her boyfriend unsettling questions about sacrifice and guilt. When he realizes something is wrong, she says she is going to die soon. Despite his attempts to help, she breaks up with him, feeling she deceived him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to the train station and senses a Witch. Inside the Labyrinth, she saves a young, inexperienced Magical Girl. When the girl asks for a spare Grief Seed, Kuroe lies and says the Witch got away. The girl promises they will both become strong and leaves. Kuroe later concludes the girl likely died, a breaking point that leaves her feeling unworthy. That night she begins having a strange dream telling her to go to Kamihama, where Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** That night, Kuroe faces a Witch too powerful for her. Another Magical Girl, Iroha Tamaki, saves her, gives her a Grief Seed, and offers friendship. The kindness reminds Kuroe of the white‑hooded girl and her regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe returns the Grief Seed to Iroha, and they begin working together. They notice no Witches have appeared in Takarazaki for a week—coinciding with Kuroe’s dreams of Kamihama. Seeing online comments from other Magical Girls heading there, Kuroe decides to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe and Iroha go to Kamihama together but nearly die against an unusually strong Witch until Yachiyo Nanami saves them. Yachiyo warns them to stay out. At home, Kuroe watches a video by Touka Satomi of the Wings of the Magius, who promise a world where Magical Girls no longer need to fight. The message comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kuroe turns in her essay, which suggests separating students who enjoy school from those who do not. Her teacher tries to help, but Kuroe snaps about always having to pretend. She says she is going to die tomorrow and runs off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe dreams of Iroha, though she cannot understand her words. Her Doppel reflects that her contract gave her affirmation of existence, yet she still does not feel like anyone - she simply adapts to whatever situation she is in, resented by no one and dependent on no one, but still wondering who she should be. In the dream, Iroha asks what scares her and offers to figure out who Kuroe is together. Kuroe wakes up wondering why she dreamed of the camping trip, and she calls Iroha, deciding she wants to connect with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroeds&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Doppel Story|Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sasara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara is taken hostage at knifepoint in a convenience store. Despite her desire to be a knight, she is too terrified to act. Though the police arrest the criminal and she is safe, Sasara feels ashamed and hates herself for her cowardice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sasara Minagi#Side Story|Sasara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sasara meets Kyubey and when he makes his offer, Sasara accepts without hesitation. As her father works for an emergency rescue squad, a job she admires, he gave her a favorite picture book about a knight who defeats a dragon to save a village. Sasara carries this book everywhere and has always wanted to be like her father and the knight. She wishes to become a knight who can protect and save people, asking for a stronger heart and stronger convictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Sasara has been hunting witches and saving their victims ever since making her contract. She calls herself the Knight who protects the people of Kamihama, but over time her feelings become tainted. The people she rescues never remember what happened and do not acknowledge her. Sasara realizes she wants someone to appreciate her and questions whether she really wanted to become a knight at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book. She thought she could accept the people she helped not talking to her, but now it feels like she does not even exist. When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nanaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Needs to be re-checked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako to ask for their help fighting a witch they all share a connection to. To explain why she needs them, Nanaka tells them how she became a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka&#039;s father headed a traditional Japanese flower arranging school, but when he fell ill, senior students took over and grew the school&#039;s popularity while abandoning its traditions, shutting out Nanaka&#039;s family entirely. On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform. She decided to lay the Soul Gem with its owner&#039;s body, and when she placed the gem in the girl&#039;s hands, the girl began breathing again. Later, Kyubey explained that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Kyubey asks if Nanaka will tell the others this secret, but she says she is waiting for the right moment. Nanaka then reflects that her true revenge target is actually Kyubey himself. Her power makes it clear he is her enemy, though she does not know all the details, and she is waiting for the right time to turn against him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Nanaka&#039;s team is still unable to find the witch. Akira reports meeting a magical girl mercenary. As the girls plan their next move, Nanaka muses about how she is gathering the determination of magical girls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Shizuku&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Re-check.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuku enjoys time with her friends but feels disconnected from them and uncertain about her future. She finds comfort in Fūnī, a traveler who visits her family&#039;s cafe and shares his dream of finding a place to belong. When he invites her to search with him, she feels hopeful that she will not be alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Fūnī dies in an accident, and Shizuku makes a contract with Kyubey, wishing to be taken to him instantly. She arrives at the hospital as he dies, begging him not to leave her. She resolves to continue searching for a place to belong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As a magical girl, Shizuku gains the power to connect spaces, allowing her to travel the world much like Fūnī once did. She continues her search, taking jobs from an unknown magical girl who pays her to use her power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day after a job, Yachiyo Nanami, Tsuruno Yui, and Iroha Tamaki approach her. Iroha invites Shizuku to their house, where she meets Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba. She stays for dinner and overnight, observing how the five girls live together like a family. Yachiyo invites her to stay as long as she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku realizes the other girls have found their place to belong, but she understands that her own place was with Fūnī. She cries as his last words finally make sense to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, Shizuku ends her arrangement with the unknown magical girl and returns to Yachiyo&#039;s house, hoping she can stay there. When she arrives, the house is empty, and she sees the personal items that mark each girl&#039;s place. Overhearing them return, she realizes their home is complete with five people and she does not belong there. She leaves quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and the others had prepared a welcome party with cake, but Shizuku never comes. Yachiyo senses that Shizuku might disappear if you look away and admits she should have seen this coming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku returns to the unknown magical girl and asks for more work. When asked why she came back, she says their picture was complete with five people and she must keep searching for where she belongs. She mentally apologizes to Yachiyo, knowing her actions will cause disaster but feeling unprepared to take responsibility. She wonders if she will ever find solid ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Akira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After Nanaka and Sasara contracts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Akira wakes from a dream about being attacked by a familiar and finds Sasara Minagi nearby, who is out for a walk. Sasara offers to help Akira search for an old man&#039;s lost cane, recalling she saw children playing with a red cane, and the two head off together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akira Shinobu#Side Story|Akira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akira reflects on her upbringing in her father&#039;s karate dojo, where she learned to always help those in need and earned the neighborhood nickname &amp;quot;Troubleshooter&amp;quot; starting at age six.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira started middle school, a girl asked her to be a bodyguard against a stalker. The girl brought her to a park, confessed her love, and admitted to lying about the stalker. Akira politely rejected her, saying she didn&#039;t know much about that sort of thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Akira learned the girl had vanished and spent days searching for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day Akira found the barrier, she retraced the girl&#039;s steps in the park and stepped into a witch&#039;s labyrinth. She found the missing girl among blank-faced victims marked by a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Kyubey appeared, explained about witches and magical girls, and offered a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Familiars attacked and overwhelmed her despite her karate training. Injured, Akira wished to save all those people, transformed, and destroyed the familiars.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, none of the victims remembered the incident. Kyubey told Akira she needed to defeat the witch itself, which became her destiny as a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a magical girl, Akira patrolled Kamihama investigating witch-related incidents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day, she encountered a familiar without transforming and dropped her Soul Gem. Unable to retrieve it, she fled the barrier and collapsed unconscious outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira woke, Nanaka Tokiwa introduced herself as the magical girl who found her and picked up her Soul Gem. Nanaka advised withdrawing since Akira had collapsed, and Akira reluctantly agreed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Nanaka called asking for a favor. When they met again, Nanaka requested a duel, claiming Akira was weak and should quit hunting witches. Akira refused, citing her family&#039;s dojo, and they dueled. After some fighting, Nanaka ended the duel and apologized. She explained she wanted to test Akira&#039;s resolve and invited her to work together as a team. Akira relented after Nanaka claimed she was troubled and couldn&#039;t fight witches alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present day, Akira returns the cane to the old man and thanks Sasara. She reflects on meeting many magical girls since joining Nanaka and wonders how many exist in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Manaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes Manaka cooking at her family&#039;s failing restaurant, Walnuts. She dreams of following her father&#039;s footsteps as a chef and believes that gaining admission to the prestigious St. Lillianna Academy will help her cook like a high class lady and restore the restaurant&#039;s popularity. Kyubey notes her poor grades make passing unlikely, but Manaka insists this is her father&#039;s last chance and resolves to study.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Manaka Kurumi#Side Story|Manaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On exam day, Manaka takes the St. Lillianna entrance exams but is only accepted into Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Upon starting at Mizuna, Manaka visits the student council and offers to cook for an upcoming joint assembly with St. Lillian. The council dismisses her, explaining they already arranged a chef.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Walking home, Kyubey again offers a contract. Fed up, Manaka accepts but wishes not for the restaurant&#039;s success, but for a chance to spread their restaurant&#039;s flavors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A week before the assembly, the student council learns their chef was invited to a competition. They reach out to Manaka, who happily accepts. Her cooking at the assembly is a tremendous success, with the fancy girls declaring it superior to renowned restaurants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the assembly, Manaka begins selling popular bentos at school and works as a visiting chef at St. Lillian every Thursday. However, none of this translates to more customers at her family&#039;s restaurant. Meanwhile, her father receives invitations to tour as a chef and seems genuinely happy traveling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt; Manaka questions why she even bothered trying.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Manaka finishes selling bentos and keeps one for herself. Sana Futaba rushes in, upset at arriving too late. Sana explains she can normally only be seen by magical girls, but Manaka insists a first-class chef never loses sight of her customers and offers her bento. Sana accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana promises to arrive earlier tomorrow, but Manaka reveals this may be her last day selling bentos. She admits she thinks she made her restaurant even more obscure, and if she is not helping it, she sees no point in cooking. Sana tearfully confesses that Manaka&#039;s bentos became the only thing she looked forward to during lonely lunch breaks. She insists Manaka should not quit because she is still making people happy. Seeing Sana smile gives Manaka new motivation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Ria Ami#Side Story|Ria&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Kako, Manaka&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A documentary crew follows Ria Ami, whose natural beauty causes crowds to part, though she admits she has no basis for comparison when asked about her challenges. Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;

** Kyubey explained that the bullying was caused by a Witch&#039;s influence—Witches hurt people, who then hurt others. Ren resolved to destroy Witches to create a better world. However, no matter how many Witches she defeated, people still acted cruelly. Kyubey told her that even destroying all Witches would not remove malice from people&#039;s hearts. This is why Ren wanted to die again, but she cannot explain any of this to Rika.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika takes Ren to meet other Magical Girls. At Emiri&#039;s Trouble Consultation Office, Ren meets Akira but cannot introduce herself and nearly cries. Emiri brings her to Ria, who gives her hand cream, and Konomi, who gives her chamomile tea. Rika then takes Ren to the chemistry club, where Hinano gives her candy instead of medicine. They visit Kanoko at her family&#039;s metal factory, where Kanoko shows a dress she designed with mushroom motifs and gives Ren accessories made of metal sheets. Emiri leaves, and Rika admits she never actually listened to Ren&#039;s problem.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika shares her own story: she wished for someone she loved to love her back, even though that person already liked someone else. She says she stole that love with a selfish wish and asks Ren if she thinks she is a horrible person. Ren manages to say she does not think so. Rika is relieved. She explains that to get others to open up, you must share the secrets that create distance.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren tries to tell her story but cannot get the words out and begins crying. Rika tells her not to force herself. She shows Ren all the gifts she received from the others and says that if all these people were thinking about her, she should continue to live. She says the world is filled with both bad and beautiful things, and the most painful thing is to have nothing. Ren says she will live. Rika leaves, and Ren thanks her. Ren thinks that if Rika can accept her story, she will be able to live forever.&lt;br /&gt;

===Konoha&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoha manages the finances and makes decisions for Hazuki and Ayame. When Hazuki calls to say she&#039;s stuck at meetings and suggests take-out, Konoha decides to cook instead to save money. Despite Hazuki&#039;s warnings, Ayame tries Konoha&#039;s cooking. Later, Hazuki returns to find Ayame sick; Konoha learns Ayame was too polite to refuse the food. Hazuki offers to handle meals from now on, which prompts Konoha to resolve that she will learn to make delicious food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konoha Shizumi#Side Story|Konoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha buys cookware and studies cooking theory, suspecting Hazuki might be a cooking prodigy. She makes a disastrous meal incorporating everything she read, and Hazuki collapses after tasting it. Ayame brings home a flyer for a cooking class at &amp;quot;Youshoku Walnuts,&amp;quot; noting that the food there made Hazuki cry. Ayame encourages Konoha, and Konoha resolves to take the class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Konoha meets the teacher, Manaka Kurumi, at the restaurant. Manaka attempts to teach knife skills and how to crack eggs, but Konoha struggles with both. Manaka promises to help her improve. She has Konoha make practice dishes, but Konoha burns oil, over-dashes rice, and explodes miso soup, so Manaka has to take over each time. When finished, Manaka tastes it, insists it&#039;s good to protect her reputation, eats it all, and passes out. Konoha tries the leftovers and confirms it is truly terrible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha hunts a witch with her team while distracted by thoughts about cooking. After they defeat it, Himika Mao arrives late, introduces herself, and asks if they are sisters; Hazuki explains they are not. Himika mentions she is thirteen with five younger siblings. When Ayame asks about being an older sister, Himika invites her to meet her family. Konoha asks to come as Ayame&#039;s guardian upon learning Himika cooks for her family, and Himika accepts. Hazuki says she will prepare dinner at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, at Himika&#039;s house, Konoha and Ayame observe the cramped living space. Himika explains she uses cheap leftover meat blends from a disposal man to feed her family. She serves dinner, and all her siblings along with Ayame eat. When Konoha asks if the food is tasty, the siblings say they never think it&#039;s bad because Himika does her best. Konoha reflects on Azalea&#039;s House and realizes she was too focused on theory rather than on who she was cooking for. She thanks Himika and leaves with Ayame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, Ayame and Hazuki find Konoha cooking again. Konoha promises to give up if she fails this time. Focusing on her feelings rather than theory, she makes a meal from Azalea&#039;s. Hazuki and Ayame try it and say it&#039;s bad, but it&#039;s edible. Konoha is excited that someone could actually eat her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ayame returns home to find Konoha cooking again. Hazuki observes that Konoha has found joy in the act of cooking. Konoha narrates that she learned cooking is about heart, and could now make food people could finish. She thinks cooking is fun, though Ayame and Hazuki sometimes scream loud enough to startle the neighbors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Konoha attempts beef stroganoff, a dish Hazuki admits is difficult. Hazuki and Ayame try it and collapse. Konoha says she will redo it. She narrates that experience matters, and wonders what to try next.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hazuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame meet with Nanaka, Meiyui, Akira, and Kako at a restaurant to discuss how to handle situations where both teams target the same Witch. Meiyui proposes a first-come, first-served rule, but Hazuki points out it would lead to disputes over who arrived first. Ayame suggests settling conflicts with rock-paper-scissors, and though Meiyui argues there&#039;s no time for games in battle, Hazuki has them try it on the spot. When Ayame and Meiyui play, Meiyui uses a martial arts technique to change Ayame&#039;s hand, causing an argument between the groups. Hazuki calms everyone down and suggests they go home for the day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hazuki Yusa#Side Story|Hazuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls reconvene at the restaurant. Hazuki proposes a new rule: anyone who uses magic against a Witch gains proportional rights to the Grief Seed. Both teams agree, and Hazuki suggests they gather data by hunting together. They split into mixed teams—Ayame and Kako form one; Hazuki, Akira, and Meiyui another and Konoha and Nanaka stand by to help as needed. After the successful joint hunt, Nanaka meets with Hazuki alone at the restaurant. She reveals she believes Hazuki manipulated the entire situation from the first meeting, noting that her team was impressed with Hazuki&#039;s group&#039;s teamwork but that she herself was more struck by Hazuki&#039;s modus operandi. Nanaka asks why Hazuki orchestrated everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki admits she wanted Konoha, who is introverted, to connect with others and that after the Witch fight, Konoha seemed genuinely happy. She explains her goal was simply to build connections between her group and other Kamihama Magical Girls. Nanaka accepts this and says she&#039;s glad to work with her. Later, Hazuki writes in her notebook that Nanaka is shrewd but fascinating, and she resolves to continue reaching out to other Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ayame&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame encounters Felicia during a Witch fight, and their rivalry quickly escalates when Felicia dismisses Ayame&#039;s challenge to lead the girls to argue and accidentally let the Witch escape. Frustrated by losing to Felicia specifically, Ayame confronts her afterward, and despite Kako&#039;s attempts to mediate, the two insist on settling things through some competition. Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch. Emerging back in the park, Felicia thanks Ayame, and they realize the race was never finished. They resume, but Ayame admits she&#039;s fine with not winning and she has come to accept Felicia as a strong rival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ayamess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ayame Mikuri#Side Story|Ayame&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Masara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro gives Masara cookies simply because she wants to, leaving Masara confused by the gesture. Masara flashes back to their first meeting, when Kokoro had blamed herself for being unable to protect others and Masara told her she should not carry that guilt. Kokoro had asked to stay by Masara&#039;s side, explaining that those words had saved her. In the present, Kokoro asks what Masara is thinking about, and when Masara admits she was remembering their first meeting, Kokoro smiles. Masara does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Masara Kagami#Side Story|Masara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara visits Mitama for magical strengthening, bringing many Grief Seeds with her. Mitama notes her unusual enthusiasm, and Masara explains she wants to get stronger in order to find something that might change her life. Mitama suggests she try attending a summer festival and hands her a flyer, but Masara shows no interest. When Mitama brings up Kokoro, mentioning that Kokoro has talked about her, Masara insists they are merely working together, not friends, and finds Kokoro&#039;s expectations troublesome. Mitama claims Masara is actually worried about Kokoro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara reflects on her childhood, remembering how her parents had her swim from a young age. Despite showing talent, she never felt any joy or sense of accomplishment, though she continued hoping it might eventually change. It never did. She became a magical girl thinking her dull life might finally become interesting, but even that eventually grew boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead. The Witch targets Kokoro, and Masara injures herself by blocking the attack. The Witch escapes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro apologizes, but Masara claims she only did what was most logical, since the Witch could not have been defeated alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Masara keeps flashing back to the moment the Witch attacked Kokoro whenever she looks at her injury. The recurring memory bothers her, though she does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Kokoro offers to hunt the Witch again with Masara. Masara flashes back to the previous fight and insists she will hunt it alone. She tells Kokoro she is a burden and that she does not like getting hurt. Masara leaves Kokoro crying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara tells Mitama what happened. Mitama suggests Masara was actually trying to protect Kokoro. Masara is at a loss and wonders why being around Kokoro causes her to get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro blames herself for causing Masara trouble. She senses the same Witch and, respecting Masara&#039;s wish to hunt alone, decides to fight it by herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help. Masara agrees and tells Kokoro to call her next time. When Kokoro worries about causing trouble, Masara insists she is doing it for herself, because she does not like seeing Kokoro get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro asks if she can call Masara during lunch. Masara says she does not care either way. The two go to Mitama&#039;s place together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro notices the summer festival flyer and asks if Masara is interested. Masara admits she is a little interested. Mitama laughs and says they can look forward to the future when there is something or someone important. Kokoro and Masara are confused by her comment, which exasperates Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Konomi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi welcomes Kaede and Kako to the flower shop where she works part-time. She began working at Blossom because the florist once comforted her as a crying child with a single flower, and now Konomi does the same for other children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konomi Haruna#Side Story|Konomi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a customer leaves, Kaede and Kako help the florist carry supplies. The florist recently returned from the hospital, having survived a serious illness. Konomi remembers the day she found an ambulance outside and learned the shop might close. Desperate to help, she wished to Kyubey to cure the florist&#039;s illness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;!--The Flashback: Their First Meeting--&amp;gt;Kaede and Kako visit the shop for the first time. Kako searches for a specific flower, which Konomi identifies. During tea break, Kako explains she read about the flowers in a novel and wants to buy some for a friend&#039;s birthday. Kaede admits she has never given flowers but receiving them once felt wonderful. Konomi smiles and says she has an idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of the flower giveaway, Konomi, Kaede, and Kako take to the streets, suddenly appearing to hand bouquets to strangers before disappearing. A lottery winner, a despairing old man, and a boy who just got a girl&#039;s number all receive flowers. Later, the girls reunite. Kaede gave to ten people, Kako to thirteen. Konomi apologizes, but they agree to try again the day after tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, before their next giveaway, a girl asks Konomi about the Bursting Flower Girl, a rumored figure who appears on Tuesdays and Thursdays to hand out flowers that supposedly sprout mouths. Konomi, Kaede, and Kako realize they are the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi panics, fearing they have made people hate flowers. They notice a little girl crying because her mother refused to buy her a toy ring. Konomi offers a flower, but the girl wants a ring. Kako fashions the flower into a ring, and the girl calls it pretty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi realizes they have been giving flowers without understanding what recipients truly want. She decides to create something more meaningful. Inspired by Kaede&#039;s mention of birthday flowers and Kako&#039;s knowledge of flower language, they plan an arrangement that speaks to people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi and the girls create a birthday cake made of fifty flowers, with chocolate and candy inside. The cake incorporates birth flowers so greetings can be communicated through their language. They prepare a fair at the shop to showcase it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi shows the cake to the florist, who gives a muted reaction and announces her retirement, planning to leave Konomi the shop.

===Rika&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Hinano, Emiri, Ria, Manaka, Akira&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Rika is invited to a blind date by Emiri Kisaki, who brings along Hinano Miyako, a girl recently heartbroken. When the boys on the date mock Hinano&#039;s youthful appearance and odd way of speaking, Rika surprises her by defending them. Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her. Emiri and Rika quickly reassure Hinano, with Rika adding that Hinano is actually cool for having been able to confess her feelings—unlike Rika, who never confessed at all and watched her crush end up with someone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri then suggests Rika should make a wish, revealing that she and Hinano are magical girls who each received one wish in exchange for fighting monsters. Rika wonders if this is some kind of game. Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika muses that her wish was granted and she is now dating her crush, yet she feels deeply unhappy. When Kyubey asks what is wrong, she admits that every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens with unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert. Sayuki believes speaking out is important no matter the outcome and swears to protect the kind people who have been kind to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka. Moka thanks Alina for saving her and says she has now made new friends, resolving to devote herself to exterminating witches and admitting she is only a little afraid of them now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Riko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Sis = Miss K. Check what Exedra says&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Years ago, Riko spent her childhood with a cheerful older neighbor girl she called &amp;quot;Sis&amp;quot; while her parents worked long hours at their family bento shop. They grew as close as sisters until Sis became engaged to marry someone far away. When Sis&#039;s father suddenly opposed the match despite approving it before, Riko wished upon Kyubey that everyone would give their blessings to the marriage. Her wish worked, and Sis moved away happily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Riko Chiaki#Side Story|Riko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Riko struggles with loneliness waiting alone at home while her parents work overtime. One night, after they call to say they cannot return until after midnight due to a huge order, years of broken promises finally overwhelm her. She snaps, calls them liars who were never there for her like Sis was, and tells them she hates them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko goes Witch hunting to vent her stress but nearly dies against a stronger Witch. In that moment, despair crushes her and she wishes she had never made her wish so Sis would still be there. Tsukasa, a regular at her family&#039;s shop, finds her crying and listens as Riko confides everything about her feelings and what happened with Sis. Speaking from experience, Tsukasa tells her that separation is no excuse for broken contact and recommends she reach out to Sis directly. Riko messages Sis that night before falling asleep exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sis replies promptly. She explains she wanted to contact Riko but left home after arguing with her father and thought a visit would be awkward. She also reveals she was hospitalized to give birth and only discharged that day, inviting Riko to come see her instead. When Riko asks her parents for permission, expecting them to refuse, they apologize sincerely and grant permission for the trip.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Riko visits Sis with her parents. Sis introduces her husband and newborn daughter, hoping Riko will get along with her child just as they once got along. Riko makes a silent promise to be a good sister to this baby and aims to grow into a fine lady, just like Sis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maria&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Maria bids her parents goodbye for the day. Her mother gives her money for dinner, which Maria insists on keeping only a small portion of, and Maria mentions she will be at her part‑time daycare job after school. On her way to school, she runs into two little girls, one of whom attends the daycare where she works.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the daycare, the children swarm Maria with requests. She notices a boy named Shin‑kun looking down and tries to find out what is wrong, but he does not want to talk. Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work. Maria suggests she spend a day with Shin to reconnect, and Shin’s mother agrees. Maria promises to put together a plan by the weekend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Maria’s classmates tease her about being a widow with a love child, and she plays along before explaining she is helping a mother and son from the daycare. Later she presents her weekend plans to Shin’s mother, who is impressed and begins looking forward to the outing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, Maria goes to the park where she knows Shin and his mother should be. She watches as they struggle to connect: Shin wants to play in a fountain, but his mother cannot explain why he should not, and they end up standing awkwardly. Maria pretends to run into them and decides to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to the playground, where Maria encourages Shin to try a tightrope bridge. When he gets nervous, she prompts his mother to take his hand, and together they cross. After lunch, Shin’s mother gets a call from work asking her to come in on her day off. She agrees, and Shin looks heartbroken. Maria offers to watch Shin until dark, and his mother gratefully accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria takes Shin to various places, and he sadly remarks that his mother is too busy for him. Understanding his loneliness, Maria vows to make the day special. At the aquarium she convinces him to see a show he ends up loving. As evening falls, they stop for takoyaki, and Maria explains that his mother tells him not to eat while walking for good reasons. Shin finally understands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shin’s mother appears, explaining work no longer needs her. She admits she has trouble expressing herself, but Shin overhears and hugs her. They both confess they thought the other did not love them. Maria shares that she was often lonely as a child but still loved her parents, and she tells Shin’s mother she does not need to be perfect. Shin shows his mother the souvenir and the last piece of takoyaki he saved for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As darkness falls, Maria walks home alone. She reflects on whether she could ever be a good mother, remembering Kyubey’s revelation that her Soul Gem is her actual soul and her body is merely a vessel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mel&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mel stays home after her reading warns of lethal danger, but Kanagi dismisses her concerns and drags her to school anyway. On the way, a Witch targets only Mel before escaping, and a possessed car then attempts to run her down. She flees west into the Mizuno region, where Yachiyo saves her. Despite Kanagi&#039;s warnings about discrimination from the West, Yachiyo&#039;s kindness puts her at ease, and Mel accepts her invitation to stay. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she requests to join Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kanagi gives permission. From that day, Mel bonds with Mifuyu, Tsuruno, and Momoko as part of her new team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One other day, Mel arrives excitedly with entirely positive readings and offers to read the team&#039;s fortunes. Despite Yachiyo&#039;s skepticism, Mel coaxes her into a session predicting a career breakthrough.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Yachiyo announces with disbelief that she was chosen for a nationwide magazine feature on Kamihama&#039;s cafes. Mifuyu and Momoko then receive positive readings about a matchmaking and exam results.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes. Afterward they visit Mitama, who suggests they train in Endless Mirrors if they plan to remain independent rather than join Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Temari and Mikura commute to school exhausted. Temari stayed up testing a new metal pen, and Mikura correctly guesses she is in modern literature mode.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Temari is distracted thinking about Witch strategies while Mikura worries about Seira, who had fallen asleep in class from exhaustion. Seira joins them, and Temari suggests they create their own space to escape the stress of magical girl life. Seira proposes forming a school club where they can pursue their hobbies freely, and they agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Seira secures an empty classroom as a provisional club room under the name Historical Research Club. On paper they study history, but in reality it becomes their oasis for reading, watching films, and relaxing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the girls are enjoying their club activities, yet Temari still feels unsettled about not knowing her magic. Mikura reflects that they have been following Temari’s suggestions lately—staying independent, creating the club—but says she will mention it if she notices anything. When Mikura asks what Temari is reading, Temari replies she is still on the same author, and Mikura calls her as unpredictable as ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Hotori&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Last part is after the tea drinking moon party&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hotori and her twin Rion prepare for a school camping trip. Hotori gets distracted watching her favorite sentai show, Dragoon Red, and Rion teases her for still liking children’s fantasy. Hotori wants to bring her notebook of heroic quotes, but Rion tells her not to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At camp, Hotori’s group hikes through the forest. She is frightened by insects, and when Rion appears and drives her friends away, Hotori ends up scolded for letting her sister interfere.

** Ikumi explains how in middle school she dreamed of becoming an idol despite lacking talent, while her friend Yumi dreamed of volleyball. They realized they could fulfill each other&#039;s dreams instead. Yumi became a volleyball ace while Ikumi pursued idol training, though she struggled because her natural personality kept slipping through her cutesy act and she failed to gain recognition. Kyubey repeatedly offered her a contract, but she refused because wishing for her dream would mean she never achieved it through hard work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In high school, Ikumi worked at a school-organized maid cafe that gave struggling students performance opportunities.

When the cafe was forced to close due to building eviction, Ikumi grieved alone on the final night. Kyubey appeared and reminded her that her wish didn&#039;t have to be for her own dream. Thinking of how much the cafe meant to her and others who dreamed there, she wished for it to continue running.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her wish came true when the landowner, moved by the final performance, sold the cafe to the school who remodeled and reopened it. Later, while fighting a witch, Ikumi was saved by another magical girl who turned out to be Yumi. Yumi revealed she had wished for someone to recognize Ikumi&#039;s talents and give her an idol chance. The two teamed up and spent a happy year together hunting witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mifuyu explained about witches and the Wings of Magius, who aimed to liberate magical girls from this fate. Ikumi immediately joined, grateful for Yumi&#039;s healing and hating the thought of losing her dream or becoming a witch. Yumi eventually joined too, and Mifuyu introduced them as Black Feathers to Ryo, who recognized Ikumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one.

* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is flooded with more memories of her other self preparing for Walpurgisnacht with allies. She wonders if there might be a real possibility for salvation in this timeline, where no one has to be sacrificed. However, she believes it has nothing to do with her. She breaks out of the labyrinth and the dream ends. Kyubey asks if she was curious about what happened to her other self. Homura says it does not matter; she believes in Madoka&#039;s words that her efforts will not be in vain. A new universe is about to be born, and Homura must protect it for Madoka&#039;s sake. Kyubey states they will both forget Madoka, but Homura is determined to never forget her.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new universe where Witches do not exist, Kyoko is surprised to find Sayaka has disappeared. Mami explains the Law of Cycles causes Magical Girls to disappear when they lose hope. Homura cries as she remembers Madoka, but neither Mami nor Kyoko know who Madoka is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka spend the day together in Kamihama, enjoying each other’s company until they encounter Ria Ami, a model and magical girl who has already defeated the witch they were tracking. Ria invites them to tea and later takes them to the fashion district, where she notices that Homura’s attention never leaves Madoka. Admitting her jealousy, Ria says she wishes someone would look at her the same way, and Homura replies that she will protect Madoka. After Ria departs, Homura thinks that even if Madoka does not realize how cool she is, she will still save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Homura steals weapons from a group called the Soukaihou using her time stop, but she is caught afterward by Meiyui Chun, a magical girl affiliated with the group. Instead of punishing her, Meiyui thanks her for taking weapons that belonged to troublemakers and invites Homura to share mapo tofu. Over the meal, Meiyui learns Homura fights to protect someone precious to her and says she understands, offering her support and suggesting the spicy dish whenever the burden becomes too painful to bear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Homura is practicing her shooting alone when Natsuki Utsuho, a magical girl who cheers for others, offers to encourage her. Natsuki deduces Homura’s time stop ability and gives advice that significantly improves her aim. When Natsuki suggests Homura ask Mami to coach her, Homura calls, and Mami arrives within an hour. Mami uses her ribbons to move within Homura’s time stop during a sparring match, praising her rapid progress afterward. Homura agrees to return to Mitakihara with Mami, reflecting that she will keep moving forward to become a magical girl capable of protecting Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Sayaka arrives in Kamihama City to go shopping with Kyosuke Kamijou, though she insists it is not a date. When she hears a scream, she runs toward it and discovers Hinano Miyako at an empty elementary school. Hinano explains she was bumped on the head while setting up the chemistry lab, and Sayaka decides to help investigate. They find the culprit was a baseball that flew through the window from the baseball club practicing outside. Hinano returns the ball to a child and gives Sayaka a perfume she made, wishing her good luck on her date despite Sayaka&#039;s protests.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later in the shopping district, Emiri Kisaki approaches Sayaka, drawn by the perfume. After realizing Sayaka is not Hinano, Emiri offers to coordinate her wardrobe, claiming to be the &amp;quot;Cutest in the World.&amp;quot; Sayaka learns Emiri is also a magical girl but remains unsatisfied with the outfit suggestions, explaining the person she likes does not care about appearances. Emiri takes her to the top of a tower, where they view the city at night. Sayaka thanks her before heading to the train station, reflecting that her love is supported by the magical girls of Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the outing with Kyosuke arrives. After buying a CD, Kyosuke messages that his train is delayed. Sayaka fights a Witch she senses and meets Kokoro Awane, defeating it together. With time to spare, Kokoro invites her for tea. Sayaka shares that she became a magical girl to heal someone she loves, and Kokoro reveals she wished to bring her family together. Though problems remain, Kokoro believes she can unite them through her own power, and Sayaka finds strength in her words. When Kyosuke is about to arrive, Kokoro encourages her, and Sayaka runs to the station, feeling it will be a good day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day in Kamihama, Mami saves Kanoko Yayoi from familiars, and Kanoko explains her dream is to become a fashion designer.

* On another day, after Mami fights off familiars, Nanaka Tokiwa confronts her, having heard rumors about the strongest Magical Girl from Mitakihara. Nanaka wants to team up or fight her, and Akira Shinobu arrives, also eager to challenge Mami based on exaggerated rumors. Mami agrees to fight them on one condition: they have tea with her first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Ultimate&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart. She also finds Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, who were never supposed to become magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Panicking because she cannot prevent magical girls from becoming witches in this universe, Madoka investigates. She discovers the source blocking her intervention originated when the Holy Quintet first visited Kamihama, and she observes how Touka and Nemu—fated to die in every other universe—are alive and plotting with the Magius to lure Walpurgis Night to hatch Eve. Madoka reflects that their plan, if successful, would achieve what she herself accomplished. Unsure whether to intervene, she decides to investigate further and chooses Iroha as her next focal point, since this is the only universe where Iroha contracted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka observes Iroha’s past and finds the singular difference: on a normal day, Iroha took her usual shortcut but accidentally kicked a small pebble, nearly making her late. This tiny butterfly effect led to Iroha contracting and Ui, Nemu, and Touka surviving, derailing the universe’s fate. Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka decides not to interfere, fearing a clash that could destroy the universe. However, she laments that she may have no choice but to trample Iroha’s wish if this universe, now a singularity, threatens the stability of all other universes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* After contracting with Kyubey, Oriko foresees Madoka becoming Kriemhild Gretchen and ending the world. To prevent this, she begins manipulating events and people around her. She uses Yuma Chitose as a distraction to keep Kyubey away from Madoka, then later convinces Yuma to contract by claiming Kyoko is in danger. Oriko also recruits Kirika Kure as her pawn. When Kirika kills another magical girl, Oriko decides to use the murders to further distract Kyubey from Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Oriko Mikuni in Magia Record#Side Story|Oriko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Oriko has another vision revealing that Madoka is not in Mitakihara but somewhere else entirely. She witnesses a spatial distortion connecting Mitakihara to Kamihama City and begins to suspect Kamihama might hold the key to changing the future. Oriko sends Kirika to Kamihama under the pretense of buying tea, instructing her to gather information from Mami and other magical girls there. She then takes Yuma to Kamihama herself, leaving her inside a witch barrier knowing Kyoko will come to rescue her. While exploring Kamihama for answers, Oriko nearly dies inside a powerful witch barrier and realizes she needs Kirika&#039;s help to continue. Kirika eventually returns home safely, reporting that Mami and Kyoko are also investigating Kamihama and that the city has an unusually high number of witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kyoko accidentally destroys her shopping bag, enraging Kirika. Shizuku Hozumi intervenes, allowing Mami and Kyoko to escape through a portal.

Homura does not, so Madoka invites her to a kimono‑dressing class she found, saying she wanted the two of them to dress up with Sayaka but lacked the courage to go alone. Homura agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class, the instructor dresses them first; Madoka thinks Homura looks beautiful, and Homura calls Madoka cute. When the actual lesson begins, Madoka struggles badly and trips, while Homura learns quickly enough that the instructor says she will have no trouble. Madoka takes a break outside, feeling useless. Sayaka happens by and asks why she wanted to dress up in the first place - to have fun. Sayaka tells her not to overthink; even if she makes mistakes, she will still have the memories. Encouraged, Madoka returns and finally manages to dress herself after another trip.&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year’s Day, both have their formal wear put on at a store. They joke that the class was interesting but not very useful for the real occasion. They take lots of pictures to show Sayaka, then wish each other a happy new year and go to Mizuna Shrine to draw fortunes. Madoka hopes everyone has a lucky year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka find themselves trapped in a strange dream—a life-sized board game set across Kamihama City. They must reach the goal by following the game&#039;s rules. There are no Familiars or attempts to harm them, so Homura suspects it is accidental mischief rather than a trap. They roll dice to move between squares and complete missions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Kimono)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;First Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They arrive at a shopping center. The mission is to deliver lost items from the New Year&#039;s sale to the Information Desk. They meet Aimi, who found a plain notebook with no name. Aimi worries it is someone&#039;s secret fantasy diary and does not want to read it. They take it to the Information Desk and complete the mission. Aimi mentions she is shopping for materials to knit a scarf or gloves for a boy named Hayato.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** They roll again and move to a new square. The mission is to reunite two sisters who failed to meet. They find Tsukasa waiting for her twin Tsukuyo. Tsukuyo forgot her phone and cannot remember the meeting spot. Madoka and Homura offer to find Tsukuyo. They find her, but Tsukasa has wandered off while waiting. The sisters fail to meet, and Homura and Madoka lose three turns. They eventually reach the Mizuna Shrine goal, but the game says they have not met the goal conditions and sends them back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Second Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They are back at the beginning, wearing their kimonos. They see their past selves from the first loop. The same mission appears—reunite the twins. They meet Tsukasa again, who remembers them from before and is confused by their kimono change. Madoka tells Tsukasa where Tsukuyo is, but Tsukasa runs off before Madoka can explain she should wait. They try to find Tsukasa but fail. The mission fails again, and they are sent back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Third Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes: buy a lucky bag costing one million Magica. They search for a store and take a break at a cafe. They see Ria being interviewed and overhear a boy named Hayato saying he needs a warmer scarf. They find Kokoro and Masara, who lead them to a stationery lucky bag. Kokoro mentions Tsukasa is still looking for Tsukuyo. Madoka wants to help Tsukasa, and Homura agrees. They find Tsukuyo, who has been wandering and dropped something important. They learn Tsukuyo dropped her exchange diary with Tsukasa—the same notebook Aimi found. The mission completes, but they are sent back to the start again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes again: help a child who lost something. They find Tsukuyo waiting. She dropped the exchange diary. Homura and Madoka take her to the Information Desk to reclaim it. Madoka remembers Tsukasa was last seen near a specific area. They wait there and finally reunite the twins. They also tell Aimi that Hayato wants a warm scarf. Everyone ends up happy. Homura and Madoka reach the goal without regrets. Homura reflects that she does not want the dream to last longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka learns the meaning of &amp;quot;When winter comes, spring isn&#039;t far behind&amp;quot; at the end of December. Just before New Year&#039;s Eve, Madoka asks if anyone has plans for the holiday. Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko and Nagisa meet the teacher and children at the park. The kids immediately recognize Kyoko, so the pair double down on the movie lie. The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the performance, Kyoko and Sayaka use quick‑change costumes while Nagisa sneaks discarded clothes off set. The children are awed by the glowing weapons and effects, explained with lighting tricks and soap bubbles. After the class leaves, the group reviews the footage and decides to keep a copy. Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko returns the props to Sayuki, then visits an aquarium to pass time. As she leaves, she spots the same kindergarteners, detects a witch, and rushes to fight it. She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She is hunting for discounted Valentine&#039;s chocolate. She visits Sugar Plum but finds the chocolate coins sold out. She runs into Kyoko. They keep encountering each other at multiple stores and realize they are both after the same Valentine&#039;s Day exclusive Pink Tapir chocolate coins. They form an alliance to share information and split the chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe (Valentine)#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Valentine Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Pink Tapir station store, a clerk informs them the sale has moved to a new outlet location and gives them a map. On the way, a delivery truck carrying the chocolate coins is possessed by a Witch&#039;s Kiss and goes on a rampage. Nagisa and Kyoko chase it, jump onto the truck, and enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Nagisa uses her forbidden technique to defeat the Witch. The truck and other vehicles are unharmed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the outlet store and buy the chocolate coins. Nagisa reflects on her memory of eating Pink Tapir chocolate coins for the first time at a hospital charity event when her mother was sick. She wonders if this universe&#039;s Nagisa would have had the same experience. She and Kyoko hurry to Mami&#039;s chocolate party. Kyoko reveals she bought a chocolate cake from Sugar Plum for everyone. Nagisa shares her pink chocolate coins. Mami is happy they are getting along. The next day, the chocolate hunt continues. At the outlet store, Ms. Saotome buys chocolate coins for a hospital charity event, continuing the tradition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Ria, Mayu, and Manaka give the sisters their rented beach space, and the sisters end up spending the day with Team Yachiyo in a water pistol shooting match. They have more fun than they expected, but Tsukuyo suffers a heat stroke and is cared for by the group after Tsukasa panics. When Tsukasa tries to repay the favor, Yachiyo jokes that she should quit the Wings of Magius, then smiles when Tsukasa refuses as expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Their final opponents are Miyako, Kokoro, Masara, and Ren, with Ren proving surprisingly athletic. Miyako’s team wins after Yachiyo avoids stepping on a rare hermit crab, but everyone agrees Tsukasa has repaid her debt, and the sisters admit they had a wonderful time. They end the day drinking juice Yachiyo bought for them and buying matching crescent moon accessories in different colors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo announces that everyone must complete ten pages of homework per subject per day before they can play.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rena &amp;amp; Kaede (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena negotiates with Yachiyo: if they can finish all three days&#039; worth of homework in one day, they can play at the beach tomorrow. Everyone agrees. They study hard together. Rena suggests a reward system to stay motivated. They shout encouragement like at an idol concert. Yachiyo and Momoko help with difficult problems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo goes shopping alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They browse swimsuits, but Mitama insists on choosing thoughtfully rather than buying on a whim. They separate briefly, and Mitama runs into Mikage, deflecting questions about what she’s doing.

Instead of buying swimsuits, Mitama brings Momoko back for an adjustment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On contest day, Mitama and Momoko play on the beach. They learn the contest requires performing a shared beach memory with chemistry.

** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They win by performing the events of the day instead of their planned story. Rena claims the stuffed bunny, and Mikage gets the Candy World tickets, immediately inviting Mitama. Apologies are exchanged, and the others ask for no more secrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, while Mitama and Momoko clean up, Rena and Kaede take Mikage to get drinks. A girl from Mitama’s past confronts her: the one Mitama accidentally shoved down the stairs years ago. A crowd gathers, muttering rumors, but Momoko defends Mitama and the crowd disperses. The girl realizes it was an accident and offers to help clear Mitama’s name, but Mitama declines, saying she no longer needs it because she has someone who believes in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka arrives at a resort with her friends, carrying her mother’s challenge to do something she can only do now. After rescuing an old woman’s hat from the sea, she learns the hat was a gift from the woman’s daughter, Himari.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group spends the day swimming, building a sandcastle, and splitting into smaller activities. While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The girls complete the rally together, with the final photo taken at a sunflower field. That evening, a storm cancels the flower tour, but the photographer invites them to meet the next morning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the photographer leads them to a hidden pond where barringtonia blossoms float. She reveals this was the special place she and Himari had planned to visit. Madoka recognizes Himari’s name and, with her friends’ help, finds the old woman from the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The old woman and the photographer meet; the photographer confesses her guilt over their childhood fight, but the woman explains Himari never mentioned any quarrel—her illness suddenly worsened that day. The two women reconcile, and both thank Madoka for bringing them together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond. Madoka reflects that the thing she could only do here was to reunite the two women and give them peace. Her friends call her for one last swim, and she runs off to join them, already thinking of returning to the island someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story and Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
It has two versions I made, assimilate them if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomuradsSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At registration, Mitama announces all participants must wear swimwear, offering to transform their outfits for free. Homura is surprisingly excited, and Sayaka gets roped into wearing a ridiculous mushroom‑mermaid costume designed by Kanoko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many familiar magical girls attend as participants or catering staff. Hazuki reveals her hatred of worms, Konoha faints from watching bait wriggle, and various mishaps begin piling up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka in her costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The non‑waterproof suit causes Sayaka to be electrocuted by its built‑in fan, but her Doppel activates and saves her. The Doppel drags Yachiyo into the water, and Yachiyo begins water‑skiing using her fishing rod while being pulled around.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura manages to fish up the Doppel and wins the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other&#039;s backs. Homura happily agrees, ending the day on a warm note.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Homura confronts her Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying summer and relying on Madoka’s kindness. The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurads&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura visit a seaside villa on the outskirts of Kamihama. They meet Felicia and her friends briefly. After parting ways, they decide to visit an aquarium. They participate in an accessory-making workshop using star sand. Inside the aquarium, they meet Ashley, an exchange student from the United States, and Riko. Ashley recognizes them as Magical Girls from Mitakihara because she encountered their copies in Endless Mirrors. They chat and learn Ashley is making videos about kawaii things in Japan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Waverider)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After parting ways with Ashley and Riko, Sayaka wants to visit a CD store. She hopes to find rare CDs for Kyosuke. At the store, she reaches for the same CD as a woman. They discover they both use notepads to track CDs. The woman is Takamine&#039;s wife—Takamine was a violinist who passed away. She collects his recordings to show her daughter. They exchange contact information. Sayaka mentions the upcoming flea market.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They eat lunch and shaved ice. Ashley records their conversation. Madoka and Homura leave early for Witch patrol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka&#039;s group meets Takamine&#039;s wife and daughter. A strong wind blows the daughter&#039;s hat into the ocean. Sayaka and Kyoko transform into swimsuits and ride a surfboard to retrieve it, using Nagisa&#039;s floaty as a distraction. The hat is recovered. Takamine&#039;s wife realizes she lost her notepad. Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while waiting, Nagisa and Riko play with water guns. Sayaka&#039;s group relaxes on the beach. Madoka and Homura find Sayaka&#039;s copy in Mirrors. The copy lures them into a trap, but they manage to get the CD list from her and escape. They send it to Sayaka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring. They plan for future fights: Sayaka will handle Familiars, Madoka and Homura will immobilize the Witch, and Mami will finish it off. Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the team encounters a paramedic and a girl under a Witch&#039;s influence. They enter the Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. The paramedic wakes up and thanks them and the team slips away quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The group swims, then Kyoko dominates the buffet. They discover a cliff diving spot, where Sayaka, Mami, and Kyoko take turns jumping while Madoka and Homura watch. They agree to return the day after next, since Madoka is busy the following day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ui improves, but a rip current nearly sweeps her away; Kyoko rescues her. Moved by Ui’s determination, Kyoko keeps training her until sunset, and Ui finally masters swimming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully. Later, Kyoko visits Mitama to revert her outfit, explaining she wants to learn swimming properly rather than relying on magic. She trades a Grief Seed for money to buy ramune as payment for a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Eternal Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Momoko Togame (Sanctified)#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;

===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi meet again. Mitama shares her realization: her grief has ended. She now wants to make amends and carve a new future for Kamihama. They discuss ideas for the student conference. Kanagi suggests a sports festival. Mitama suggests a festival with food stalls. They joke about romance and love interests. Mitama feels lighter and ready to move forward. She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at the Wings of Magius, Alina asks Nemu to create a rumor for her. She will let it grow, then take it into herself and use it to achieve her greatest goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Touka and Nemu separately sneak to Ui’s room to leave apology notes. They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They first visit Mitama’s shop, where they meet Maria and Konomi. Mikage hands out sweets, crediting Lavi’s teaching, and Mitama permits them to visit the Mikazuki girls after receiving a cake. At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the real world, Tsuruno gives gelato to Ui and Felicia. Ui is absorbed in playing a game called &amp;quot;Little Vacation&amp;quot; on Tsuruno&#039;s phone. The game follows Tsuruno and Felicia as Reindeer Santas traveling to reach the End of the World and the Wishing Star.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia (Special Delivery)#Side Story|Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno uses the Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a hint: &amp;quot;The key is something you don&#039;t know the importance of until it&#039;s gone. This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The girls encourage Tsuruno and Felicia to leave since they were not originally trapped. Tsuruno and Felicia walk out easily. They promise to return once they find a way to free everyone. They leave, having failed to deliver smiles for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Town of Miraculous ☆ Prestidigitations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the next town. They meet Mitama, a magician performing tricks, and twins Rion and Hotori. Mitama attempts to teleport Hotori but accidentally duplicates her. There are now two Hotoris. Tsuruno and Felicia try to help. The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win. The duplicates are left behind. The single Tsuruno who lost is left alone without Reindeer-san #2 or the Okamochi Box. She decides to continue traveling anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; The three Tsurunos reunite and discuss the hints from the Okamochi Box. They realize &amp;quot;three heads are better than one&amp;quot; refers to them working together to solve the Maze Town puzzle. They also realize the key in Maze Town was a &amp;quot;smile&amp;quot;—something Ren had lost along the way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game.

===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents.

** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Check on the days again to make sure how many days pass. It&#039;s possible it&#039;s all just one day&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami finds herself in a strange white fog, speaking with two other versions of herself. Holy Mami claims she has learned the truth about magical girls from Alina Gray and Touka Satomi and has found a way to save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami has tea with Touka and Alina at a house rented for her by Touka. Mami explains she has not returned to Mitakihara because her priority is releasing magical girls. Touka and Alina offer to lecture her on what she needs to study. Alina grows disturbingly excited discussing van Gogh&#039;s Sunflowers, and Touka lectures at length on mathematics until Alina interrupts. Mami reassures them she will ask for help when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina receives a call from the Amane sisters requesting help with a Witch. Touka asks Mami to assist, explaining she has a lecture to give at noon to recruit skilled magical girls. Mami agrees, reflecting that releasing magical girls requires Grief Seeds, protecting Rumors, and raising Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane waiting for her. They explain the Witch has moved and the Black Feathers are monitoring it. A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren plan for their friends’ Christmas party a week away and promise to spend Christmas Eve together. While looking at options in a magazine, they cannot decide on a place. Ren buys the magazine to think it over, privately hoping to choose somewhere that will make Rika happy, though she doubts whether she truly belongs beside her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ren visits Emiri’s consultation room but finds only Akira and Ria Ami. She explains her dilemma, and Ria takes her around town to evaluate possible locations. They rule out a restaurant, an amusement park, and a romantic cafe, eventually settling on the Minagi Aquarium. Ria is surprised to learn Ren is planning an outing with Rika, not a boyfriend, but Ren leaves feeling confident in her choice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Christmas Eve, Rika attends a party with her school friends. When she mentions she will spend Christmas Eve at the aquarium with a friend, her friends press to join, but Rika refuses. She advises them not to look for boyfriends just to avoid being alone. Later, while walking with her friends, Rika spots Ren chasing after Aimi Eri. She follows and finds Ren comforting Aimi over a misunderstanding involving a boy; the situation resolves without trouble.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Ren waits for Rika, who messages that she overslept with a fever. Ren worries Rika became sick chasing after her the day before. Before she can reply, Aimi finds her, and they go shopping together. Aimi encourages Ren to visit Rika instead of staying apart. Ren goes to Rika’s house, knocks on her window, and insists they spend Christmas together there so Rika can rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They exchange gifts: Ren gives Rika scented candles, having noticed Rika’s interest from a sticky note, and Rika gives Ren a glass candlestick. Rika hopes they can visit the aquarium another time, and Ren leaves happy to have shared Christmas with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, assimilate them if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumor Tsuruno begins designing the park, adding a merry-go-round, roller coaster, spa, shops, and a cafe. The mascots warn that once the park is complete, she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world. Rumor Tsuruno claims no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she imagines comfort foods with hot pot as the main star, she is reminded of Mikazuki Villa. She brushes it off and completes the park. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Uwasa Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana looks at a Mr. Purrs-a-lot picture book and feels down. Ui notices and asks what is wrong. Sana admits she wants to become a picture book author to help people who are suffering like she once was. She has many ideas but does not know how to write them. Ui encourages her. Sana says she is starting from zero and needs to practice writing. Ui suggests she settle on one main idea. Sana recalls a story about the Rice God from Yachiyo and decides to write a practice story about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana writes a story about the Rice God punishing Felicia for not finishing her rice. Ui enjoys it. Sana realizes she also needs to entertain readers while conveying her message. She decides her first picture book theme will be &amp;quot;friends.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana and Ui discuss the main character. Sana models her after Ai, the Uwasa of the Anonymous A.I. She names the heroine Aoi. Sana writes the first part of the story: Aoi leaves the &amp;quot;Land of Beginnings&amp;quot; and arrives at the &amp;quot;Land of Blessings,&amp;quot; where residents constantly fight. Aoi suggests a picnic to help them understand each other. The residents grow closer. Ui enjoys the story. Sana reveals she wants to leave behind proof of Ai&#039;s existence before she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana asks Nemu for permission to use a character modelled after Ai in her picture book. Nemu agrees, saying she is happy Sana wishes to preserve Ai. Nemu advises Sana on how to become a published author: enter contests or approach publishers directly. Sana becomes discouraged when she realizes she would have to interact with people who cannot see her. She leaves feeling hopeless.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana wanders alone, feeling invisible. She helps a girl find a lost ring but is not noticed. She thinks her dream is impossible. Tsuruno, Felicia, and Ui find her, worried because she was not answering calls. Iroha and Yachiyo also arrive. Nemu calls and suggests Sana could use an agent to communicate with publishers, avoiding direct meetings. Sana regains her resolve. Yachiyo tells her not to give up on her dream. Iroha and the others promise to support her. Sana realizes she has a family to help her get back up.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana finishes her first picture book, &amp;quot;A Small Encounter.&amp;quot; The story follows Shana, an invisible girl who is found by Aoi and makes her first friend. Sana decides to show it to everyone and get their thoughts. She promises to keep persevering for Ai&#039;s sake and for everyone who supports her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 1 (Flashback/Reflection)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi wakes from a nap and remembers the dream she had when fused with the Kimochi. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words that helped her realize she had not truly given up. Iroha told her that those who have given up do not fight, and that Lavi came to Kamihama because she still wanted to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro (Kimochi)#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects on the hope she once held—a daydream of a peaceful life where magical girls are understood. In that dream, she helped her mother, tended fields with her grandfather, watched Urara&#039;s street performances, and attended exhibitions with Shirogane. She encountered other magical girls: Asahi, Haitani, Kuroda, Urara, and Alexandra. They fought witches together and enjoyed everyday moments. Lavi realized she had locked away this hope because remembering it was painful. But now, through her connection with Iroha and her time with Nayuta, she has begun to see the future again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 2 (Daydream/Desired Future)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi dreams of a happy future where the Automatic Purification System has spread and peace has come. She, Nayuta, and Mikage go on a trip to Yukuni. They encounter many acquaintances: Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and Mikazuki Villa. Due to a scheduling mistake, everyone arrives at the same inn on the same day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** There is not enough premium beef for dinner. The groups compete in hot spring table tennis, karaoke, and pillow fights to decide who gets the meat. Yuna cheats in table tennis and is disqualified. The karaoke machine is outdated. The pillow fight becomes chaotic. Asahi saves the day with gibier meat. Everyone shares the meal and enjoys the evening together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects that this bustling, noisy future is unlike her usual self, but she realizes she has been yearning for it deep down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 3 (Reality/Current Time)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi teaches Nayuta cooking. They discuss their futures: Nayuta wants to study magical girls at a university different from her father&#039;s. Lavi wants to help at her family&#039;s inn while spreading magical girl activities. They plan a trip with Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Upon arriving at Cradle of the Earth in Yukuni, they encounter Mikazuki Villa, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and the Tokime Clan—just as in Lavi&#039;s dream. There is again not enough meat for dinner. Lavi is overwhelmed but also excited. She realizes that even if the past cannot be undone, they can move forward together and create a bright future. She announces they will compete over the meat and create a new future with all of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Yachiyo wakes at Mikazuki Villa and briefly senses Iroha&#039;s magical signature before it disappears.

Need to re-check this. It may already be done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane complain about being overworked as guardians of a Rumor and fear the anger of Touka, Alina, and Nemu. They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - A Taste of Hospitality|A Taste of Hospitality]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko and Ashley help Mitama film a video about her Coordinator services, whre she explains that she adjusts Soul Gems to draw out hidden potential, that she sees memories during adjustments but keeps them confidential, and that she also sells items for Magical Girls. As payment for the video, Riko gives Mitama an origami dog (Mameji) and Ashley gives her blue candy from her home, both of which Mitama puts in a box.&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, Mitama receives many gifts from Magical Girls, including Kokoro, Reira, Mito, Felicia, Ayame, Kako, Yachiyo, Karin, Himika, Rika and Emiri, the last of whom says that when people share their favorite things, it means they want to share what they love with Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama hums happily, which Momoko and Kanagi notice and feel a bad omen. Mitama announces that she wants to share what she loves with everyone and that she plans a party with food that she will cook. She asks Momoko and Kanagi to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;

Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;

Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 13th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mitama is away from her shop, but Tsuruno is there, using the kitchen to make chocolate bonbons with a friend. She plans to surprise everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 14th:&#039;&#039;&#039; On Valentine&#039;s Day, Tsuruno gives beautifully wrapped chocolates to Iroha, Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana and Ui at Mikazuki Villa. Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rise of the Waning Moon===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Rise of the Waning Moon|Rise of the Waning Moon]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day during lunch break, Kanagi goes to Himika’s classroom, telling her she just wanted to see her face, which Himika finds strange.&lt;br /&gt;
** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

* Hinano and Emiri attend a chemistry event. Hinano is excited to see a chemist who reminds her of the woman she idolized as a child—a tall, long-legged lady who taught fun chemistry experiments. Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;

The relative needs help cleaning the hotel pool because the usual staff are sick. Yachiyo hesitates due to her modeling schedule. The girls offer to help. Yachiyo calls back and confirms they will come.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group arrives at the hotel and Yachiyo&#039;s relative, an older woman, greets them warmly. She says she used to hang out with Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river. Tsuruno and Felicia compete to see who can clean faster, inventing names for their techniques. Yachiyo scolds them for being inefficient. They eventually work together.&lt;br /&gt;

Tsuruno volunteers the group to help until the staff arrives. Yachiyo worries they might cause trouble, but Iroha, Ui, and Sana want to try. They agree to help. Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the next day, the group arrives at the pool for opening day. Yachiyo handles reception. The ticket scanner malfunctions and a line forms. Mitama appears—she had plans with Iroha that were canceled. She offers to help and fixes the scanner by hitting it. The staff member returns and takes over.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama notices Yachiyo has something on her mind and suggests she talk to someone she trusts. Iroha later asks Yachiyo to help with a crowded lunch area. Ui is taking orders with Sana&#039;s invisible help making drinks.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral. Yachiyo admits she was worried about everyone but sees they are doing fine. Iroha tells Yachiyo it is okay to worry because she cares, and they can solve problems together. Iroha notices Yachiyo has been down and offers to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
** A foam machine malfunctions, spewing foam everywhere. A guest slips and falls. The group splits up to clean the foam and help guests. Mitama fixes the machine with a whack. The support staff arrives. The girls finally have time to enjoy the pool.&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models. She does not know what to post and is shy about taking selfies. Iroha suggests posting photos of herself and takes pictures of Yachiyo on a float with the sunset. Yachiyo is embarrassed but agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Tsuruno want a turn on the float. Everyone climbs on, and Mitama takes a group photo just as they all fall into the water. Iroha loves the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the pool photos are popular online. Yachiyo&#039;s manager says going to the pool was a good move. Yachiyo thanks Iroha and says she might take her up on being her photographer again. She sends the group photo to everyone. Iroha says the photo may not be &amp;quot;social media-worthy&amp;quot; but it captures who they are. They agree to go back to the pool again—summer is just getting started.&lt;br /&gt;

Tsukuyo researches the costs of a two-person household and is shocked by how expensive it is.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo falls asleep while daydreaming about living with Tsukasa. Her grandmother finds her fantasy budget notebook and accuses her of planning to run away with a boy. Her training hours are increased, and her smartphone is confiscated. Tsukuyo is unable to contact Tsukasa. She runs away and ends up at the shrine, but Tsukasa is at school.&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback (Before Magical Girl). Tsukuyo is overworked with club activities and training. She is exhausted and collapses. She wakes up in the hospital with her sister beside her. Tsukuyo remembers how she first met Tsukasa. She was playing her flute at the shrine when she saw a girl who looked just like her. They discovered they were twins, separated at birth. They became close and talked openly with each other for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo too formal and uptight, while Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukuyo was devastated. She received a harsh message from her grandmother, punishing her for being absent without permission. She broke down crying, saying she was not a puppet for her grandmother to order around.&lt;br /&gt;

* Several days later, Tsukasa tells Tsukuyo she does not know the details of how the Magius intend to save them. She shares the full ending of the story they studied—the couple takes their own lives because they fear their love will fade. Tsukasa suggests they do the same. Tsukuyo is horrified but realizes they have no other way out.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night they decide to die, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa meet at the shrine. They decide to destroy their Soul Gems together. They hold hands and count to three. Mifuyu arrives in time to stop them.

&lt;br /&gt;
* (Return to the present) Tsukuyo reflects on how much has happened. She knows she must always be there to support Tsukasa, who can be unpredictable. She dreams of their future together—a happy ending where they live together, free from family, regional disputes, and Magical Girls. She knows it may be a long way off, but as long as she has Tsukasa, she believes they will get their happy ending.&lt;br /&gt;

* Kako is 13 years old. Her parents run Natsume Books, a used bookstore. Books are a huge part of her life. One day, she sees Nanaka loitering by the mailbox, looking distressed. Nanaka drops a letter in the mailbox and runs off. She tells Kako to read the letter. Kako remembers the words &amp;quot;Kill her&amp;quot; and wonders why.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako recalls her past. Her family was not wealthy, but they were happy. Her father recommended books, and her mother helped her study. Then tragedy struck. A riot over land grabs broke out. Harassment of those who objected got worse. Discord grew within the community and even within their home. Her father was wound tight. Then their house was set on fire. Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
** She met a girl named &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; N told Kako who was responsible and what she needed to do to destroy them. Kako clung to her. She later learned N was manipulative and saw others as pawns. Kako hates N and wants revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found herself in a Labyrinth. Nanaka fought off Familiars but was overwhelmed. Kyubey offered Kako the chance to become a Magical Girl. Nanaka told Kako through telepathy to decide for herself what she wanted. Kako realized she hated feeling helpless. She wished to see her family smiling again and to get Natsume Books back. She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kako learned Nanaka faked her struggle to entrap her into making the wish. Nanaka had pulled this trick on others to use them as pawns. Kako could not forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako and Nanaka fought Witches together. Nanaka encouraged Kako and told her she was better suited to being a Magical Girl than Nanaka was. Kako wanted to get stronger. Nanaka wrote a letter confessing her deception and asking Kako to kill her. Kako made up her mind to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka. She returned it unopened, saying it seemed wrong to read something Nanaka only sent by accident. Nanaka smiled and said Kako was dazzling. She said she would try to tell Kako her feelings in person someday.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako thinks Nanaka overestimates her, but she is no longer as scared and helpless as she used to be. She is a Magical Girl who protects the city by Nanaka&#039;s side.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

* A few days later, Rena calls Himika. She saw the Baby Bunny pouch in a crane game at an arcade. Himika, Kako, Ayame, Rena, and Kaede go to the arcade. The pouch is in the replenishment case, meaning Himika must win all the Mocha Bunnies already out to reach it. Himika decides to use a strategy but is short on money.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika observes other players to learn techniques, calling it &amp;quot;crane training.&amp;quot; She strategizes to create an avalanche by knocking down piles of plushies.

Rika messages her to join everyone for snacks. Ren goes to meet them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren finishes her bear story. The gatekeeper asks the bear cub if she has any regrets. The bear cub says yes.

The bear cub does not say goodbye because she knows she will see the Spirit of Light again someday in the World of Light. Ren realizes the bear cub is reborn, just like she was when she met Rika and her friends. She can live in a world full of color.&lt;br /&gt;

They decided on a third wish: to have everyone at Azalea House forget they were ever there. They left the orphanage and started living together. Ayame remembers Konoha&#039;s promise that they would always be together. She reflects on her conflict with Konoha over her friendship with Kako. She wishes the Director could tell her what to do.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame wakes up at Kako&#039;s relatives&#039; house. Konoha has arrived. She found Ayame by asking Nanaka to track Kako&#039;s location. Ayame refuses to go home, saying Konoha has been stifling her. She promises to tell Konoha where she is next time. Konoha apologizes. She did not realize how her words were making Ayame feel. She promises to talk things through with Hazuki and Ayame. Kako is relieved. Ayame treasures the memory of her adventure. She promises never to forget it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Masara Kagami&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Flame Kindled in the Vastness===&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara Kagami reflects on her life. After becoming a Magical Girl, not much felt dramatically different. But encounters and experiences since have changed her. She thinks her dull and pointless life has just gotten a little more colorful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara finds the world boring. She is good at swimming but lacks passion. Kyubey appears and offers her any wish. She wishes for a load of money and becomes a Magical Girl. She fights Witches, and the excitement fades quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara meets Kokoro Awane in a Labyrinth. Kokoro is uncomfortable with Masara&#039;s reckless fighting and tells her to protect herself more. Masara says she does not care if she dies. Kokoro says her family would care. Masara questions why Kokoro blames herself for her family&#039;s problems. Kokoro asks if they can stick together. Masara agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a Witch hunt, they&#039;re attacked by a Witch and Masara takes a hit to protect Kokoro. She gets a scar. She starts avoiding Kokoro because she does not understand her feelings. Mitama explains that Masara fears seeing Kokoro get hurt, so she avoids her to prevent that pain. Masara realizes she fears losing Kokoro, so they reconcile.&lt;br /&gt;
* The swim club announces the relay team. Masara is chosen but declines, saying she is not good at team sports. Koshino, who has always been second to Masara, is chosen as her replacement. Koshino vows to beat Masara&#039;s record.&lt;br /&gt;
* While Kokoro and Masara go on patrol, they see Koshino training alone after school hours. Koshino tells Masara she beat her personal record. Masara is puzzled by Koshino&#039;s passion.&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Masara passes Koshino training again. They start talking about her times regularly. Kokoro notes that Koshino will never catch up to Masara&#039;s times. Masara wonders what drives Koshino.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days before the competition, Koshino beats Masara&#039;s record once. The swim club captain praises her. Masara feels something but cannot identify it. She is not annoyed. She does not know what she feels.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day before the competition, Koshino has an accident and cannot compete. Masara agrees to take her place. She is surprised by her own motivation. Kokoro notices the change.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the competition, Masara swims well. Her team finishes second, but she was in the lead when passing the baton. Koshino comes to watch and thanks Masara for doing the race for her. Kokoro says Masara has changed. Masara decides she wants to keep swimming a while longer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika Ayano&#039;s Heartphial Story: Haunting Love, Haunting Mistake===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika Ayano reflects on her life. She does not want to feel like she became a Magical Girl for nothing. She got to see what dating is like and made loads of friends. But sins do not wash away so easily. That is the price you pay for a miracle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback, but the entirety seems like mostly a flashback) Kyubey offers Rika any wish in exchange for becoming a Magical Girl. Hinano warns her not to do it, but Rika ignores the advice. She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Riko Chiaki&#039;s Heartphial Story: Worked Out with a Woof===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki reflects on her life. Even though her mom and dad were hardly home because of work, she never felt lonely as long as Miss K was around. She cared about her so much that she just wanted to help her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback) Riko helps out at her parents&#039; bento store. She is close with Miss K, the daughter of the hardware store owner next door. Miss K has always been like a big sister to her. Miss K cries to Riko that her father opposes her marriage because he does not want her to move far away. Riko wishes to Kyubey for Miss K&#039;s marriage to be accepted. She becomes a Magical Girl. Miss K gets married and moves away. Riko misses her but does not regret her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Riko goes filming with Ashley. She tells Ashley about Miss K. She explains that Miss K&#039;s father never fully accepted the marriage, and they have not made up. Riko receives a message from Miss K saying she was in the hospital because she was pregnant. She invites Riko to visit her new house. Riko goes and meets the baby. Miss K asks Riko to be friends with her child. Riko becomes like a big sister to the baby. She feels happy that her wish came true but is sad Miss K and her father never reconciled.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko walks Mameji and sees Miss K&#039;s father standing outside the hardware store, looking sad. She wonders what is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley advises Riko to ask Miss K directly if she wants to make up with her father. Riko texts Miss K and asks to meet. Miss K replies that she will come to Riko&#039;s town instead. Riko is excited.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Miss K visits Riko. They talk about her father. Miss K says she wants to make up with him but does not know how. Riko suggests inviting him to meet the baby, giving him a present, or going on a family trip. Miss K doubts any of it will work. They walk to Riko&#039;s store together. They encounter Miss K&#039;s father outside. Riko admits she asked Miss K to come so they could patch things up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Miss K&#039;s father reveals he brought a herbarium to Riko&#039;s store. It was originally meant as a gift for his grandchild, but he could not bring himself to deliver it. Riko realizes Mameji had been guiding her this whole time. Earlier, Mameji had barked at the cake that turned out to be from Miss K&#039;s father. Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky. She realizes she is dying, having protected Yachiyo. She remembers how everyone was fighting for dear life. She wished she were stronger to help them. She is sorry for not being stronger. She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ashley Taylor&#039;s Heartphial Story: Can&#039;t Be Myself Without What I Love===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley Taylor reflects on her life. Studying in Japan is awesome fun. She wants to find more kawaii for her vlog viewers back home and asks her father to watch over her while she pursues her passions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley vlogs with Riko&#039;s help. She films herself shopping for Magical Kirin merch and gurokawa items. After editing and uploading the video, she replies to comments from her followers. She thinks about her father and hopes he is watching.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley remembers the day she wanted to study abroad in Japan. Her father refused without giving a clear reason, which was unusual. Kyubey appeared and offered to grant any wish. Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko notices Ashley seems down. She worries Ashley is overworking herself by vlogging daily and replying to comments late at night. Ashley says it does not feel like work because she loves it. She thanks Riko for being a kind friend. They go out to film another vlog.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley continues vlogging daily. She worries about skipping a day because her followers might unfollow her. She wakes up to find Kumanosuke missing. She panics, feeling like her world is ending. Riko arrives with a bento and finds Ashley crying. Ashley explains she lost Kumanosuke. Riko comforts her and says it is okay to skip a vlog. Ashley admits she has been using followers&#039; comments to fill the hole left by her father&#039;s death. Riko says she understands loss—she misses her sister who moved far away. They decide to search for Kumanosuke.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko suggests Ashley ask her followers for help finding Kumanosuke. During a live stream, a commenter suggests rewatching her previous vlog. Ashley realizes she left Kumanosuke on a chair when she got distracted by a crane machine. They find Kumanosuke on a shelf at the store, dressed in Waloli Gurokawa clothes. Ashley gets him back. She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

* At the hospital, a nurse tries to convince Touka to eat her carrots. Touka refuses unless her terms are met: she wants specific books brought to her. The books are Hachslingen&#039;s &amp;quot;General Theory of the Origin of the Universe,&amp;quot; Cosinberg&#039;s &amp;quot;Celestial Forces,&amp;quot; and Dadatri&#039;s &amp;quot;Glimmer of the Planet.&amp;quot; She claims no one will hand them over. The nurse eventually gives up on the carrots.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Future Relationships|Future Relationships ~Current Status with Onee-sama~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Nemu deduces that Touka is acting like Princess Kaguya, requesting treasures she knows do not exist to avoid eating her carrots. Exposed, Touka reluctantly eats a carrot.

===Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call|Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wait, You Got It Wrong!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayu Kozue&#039;s most treasured possession is a bear pendant her father carved for her before he died. When a hand-drawn postcard is stolen from the museum where she works, security footage shows her friend Ria at the scene moments later. Mayu cannot reach Ria and suspects a Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~|Wait, You Got It Wrong! / Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While searching for Ria, Mayu encounters Asuka Tatsuki, whose family&#039;s invaluable book of secrets was also stolen. A witness described a blonde girl in a Mizuna uniform—Ria. They find Sayuki Fumino crying over her stolen sword book, then Rena Minami who was bumped by the same girl. At Walnut&#039;s restaurant, Manaka Kurumi accuses Ria of stealing a rice omelet. A Witch barrier appears, and after Mayu and Asuka defeat the Familiars, Ria arrives demanding to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka challenges Ria to a duel over the thefts, and Ria loses. She confesses to something embarrassing, and everyone assumes she means the thefts—but she meant a binder of idol clippings she desperately hopes no one saw. She was only chasing the Witch to recover her own stolen belongings. Relieved, Mayu and Asuka join her. They track and defeat the Witch, recovering most items, but the museum postcard, the dojo book, and Ria&#039;s binder remain missing. They agree to search again tomorrow. That night, Mayu dreams of her father, who tells her material things are destined to break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, thefts continue across the city. Mayu realizes the Witch they defeated was only a Familiar and the real Witch is still out there. She offers her precious pendant as bait to track it. Despite Ria&#039;s protests, Mayu uses it, and they follow the magic trail to the Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After a difficult battle, they recover all stolen items, though Mayu&#039;s pendant is scratched and its chain broken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu is unbothered. She explains that material possessions naturally break, but the memories they hold remain in her heart—a lesson from her father. Asuka and Ria are moved, and Mayu turns to walk home, promptly falls into a lake, and flounders while Ria sighs that she has not changed at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor she calls Miss K. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Miss K with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Miss K&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Miss K to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

===&amp;quot;Let&#039;s hit the Suitoku baths! (Music Collection 1 bonus drama)&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo, Iroha, and Sana prepare a meal. Felicia reluctantly helps. Tsuruno arrives with a flyer for Suitokuyu, a public bathhouse holding an event as part of a shopping district revitalization plan. She invites everyone to go together. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the bathhouse, they read the posted rules. Tsuruno pretends to be a &amp;quot;bathhouse master&amp;quot; and teaches them. Sana becomes embarrassed about being naked in front of everyone. Yachiyo understands her feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Villa. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;
~A Little Break For Us~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===This is The Warmest Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha is going about her day when Sana, Felicia, and Ui present her with a pinwheel and ask her to blow on it. Though confused by their strange behavior, Iroha does as they ask and the girls thank her before quickly scampering off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~#This Is The Warmest Day Login Special|This is The Warmest Day]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts. When Yachiyo asks Iroha&#039;s opinion, Iroha expresses her love for shortcake and suggests they bake one immediately, but Yachiyo insists she wait for the right moment, which will come sooner than she thinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Lavi is shopping when Nayuta finds her to share news about her math test score. They return home where Lavi prepares dinner, and Nayuta discovers Lavi earned perfect scores in every subject, highlighting the gap between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House|The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day while Lavi runs errands, Nayuta confides in Mikage about her fears that Lavi only respects her father and secretly resents serving her. Seeking answers, Nayuta visits Mitama, who suggests that kindness and broad-mindedness are the traits she needs to develop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Nayuta observes how hard Lavi works attending school, studying, handling housework, and fighting witches. Worried she might collapse, Nayuta offers Lavi time off for her upcoming sixteenth birthday and secretly plans a surprise party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later on Lavi&#039;s birthday, Nayuta and Mikage struggle through cleaning the house and preparing a celebration. Their efforts are interrupted when Lavi returns early for lunch, scolds them for the mess, but leaves again at Nayuta&#039;s insistence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Lavi returns that evening, the handmade kusudama falls onto the cake and catches fire. Lavi extinguishes it with water, and Nayuta is left mortified as her surprise party fails spectacularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Nayuta senses lingering coldness from Lavi and struggles to find the right way to apologize. Remembering her father&#039;s example, she decides to catch and cook a fish as an apology gift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day at a fishing center, Nayuta encounters girls from the Tokime clan who teach her how to gut fish. Despite being disturbed by the process, she perseveres and eventually catches the exact fish she wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning home late, Nayuta discovers a threatening letter addressed to Lavi and deduces it must be connected to the serious trouble from Lavi&#039;s hometown. She rushes to the market street with Mikage to protect her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the market street, Nayuta confronts the man speaking with Lavi, declaring herself as Satomi Tasuke&#039;s daughter to intimidate him. The man reveals he is simply a stalker with no connection to Lavi&#039;s past, and when he becomes agitated, Nayuta tackles him unconscious as a crowd applauds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Nayuta presents the cooked fish and apologizes. Lavi admits she was barely angry anymore and thanks Nayuta for protecting her, acknowledging she was just like her father in that moment. Nayuta produces a second kusudama and cake, and this time the celebration succeeds. As they pick confetti from the cake, Lavi quietly says she will continue to admire Nayuta until the final day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune. The Rumor says that if you receive the book and find a drawing of yourself, the sketched event will happen and if you try to stop it, a creature named Ketch drags you into the book. Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One summer morning, Mitama is at her shop and she has set up a small café corner called Hot☆Corner. The cat, Doyle, is especially attached to her lately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery|The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day|Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Rumored Temp Counselor===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

===Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away|Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

* The following day, Ryoko investigates and discovers Sakuya hid her own shoes and started the gossip to isolate herself. Sakuya confesses she killed her best friend in the war and must remain alone to avoid hurting anyone else. Ryoko declares she will save Sakuya by becoming her best friend, and they fight until exhausted. That night, Sakuya dreams of her deceased friend, who thanks her and tells her to move forward. She wakes to find Ryoko collapsed from hunger, and they talk for hours like ordinary friends. Though they agree they cannot meet again until the battles are over, they promise to become true friends then.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mikage wonders if she might become famous but worries about sketchy people, and Mitama jokingly offers to beat them up. Mikage asks if they can make real chocolate together, but Mitama needs to go to her coordinator shop. Mikage promises to do things that make her sister smile instead, and Mitama suggests they make Valentine&#039;s chocolate together next year.

* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend.

To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the student council meeting, Yuna honestly requests more time to handle personal matters, promising to dedicate herself fully afterward. The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

==Magia Record Events==&lt;br /&gt;
===See You Tomorrow===&lt;br /&gt;
* One morning at the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira greets an older neighbor who warns her about increasing danger in the area. Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them. The girl agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, finishing the final preparations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day of the school festival proceeds without major incident. Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, sampling food and enjoying the event. They take a photo together at the repaired arch—Tsumugi, Manaka, and the transfer student in her uniform. The transfer student reflects later that she will cherish the photo forever, grateful for the kindness she did not feel she deserved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Autumn of Reading===&lt;br /&gt;
This seems to have been an event without story. Needs to be re-checked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Girls in the Hood===&lt;br /&gt;
* An earthquake strikes the city, and on a rooftop, Jun Kazari drops both her yo-yo and her soul gem while practicing tricks. She chases after the soul gem, while the yo-yo falls into the hood of Mitsune Miwa, a hikikomori watching a performance below. Mitsune decides to return it and runs up the stairs, where she collides with Jun. Jun explains she needs her soul gem, and Mitsune returns the yo-yo. A Witch&#039;s barrier appears around them, and Jun transforms to fight while telling Mitsune to close her eyes. Mitsune peeks, collapses after seeing the Witch die, and Jun carries her outside, claiming it was all a dream. Jun insists on treating Mitsune since she saved her yo-yo, and takes her to a candy store called Tomorrow Shop. Jun introduces her to the children there, and Mitsune is amazed by how loved Jun is. Mitsune must leave by 6 PM, and Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Girls in the Hood|Girls in the Hood]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[Magia Record Event - The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf|The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo bumps into Tsuruno on a day when school is out. Yachiyo has a job performing in a recorded drama with Sayuki that will be screened on Tanabata. Tsuruno recalls Yachiyo&#039;s poor performance in Karin&#039;s Halloween play and decides to join her to help. Yachiyo welcomes her.&lt;br /&gt;
** On set, Ria and Mayu are assisting with makeup and costumes. Yachiyo recognizes Ria, calls her by name, and praises her work, causing Ria to internally fangirl. Yachiyo grows anxious seeing so many Magical Girls gathered, recalling how a previous production with magical girls turned into a disaster. Tsuruno reassures her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wins over the production team with her exuberance. The play&#039;s co-star drops out, and the director asks Tsuruno to take the role. She eagerly accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a fairy tale about an ancient Mizuna legend. Two girls, Tsuyu and Chizuru, befriend each other despite their families&#039; rivalry and join forces to punish a selfish lord. Yachiyo plays Tsuyu, the ice queen with a heart of gold. Tsuruno plays Chizuru, the cheerful and impetuous girl. Sayuki plays the Magpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** During the script reading, everyone realizes Yachiyo&#039;s acting skills are still terrible. Yachiyo confides that she has turned down many acting jobs but accepted this one because the director begged her, even if she flops. She vows to see it through to expand her repertoire. Tsuruno promises to stay by her side.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria is in shock seeing her idol perform poorly. The filmmakers work around it by taking away Yachiyo&#039;s lines. Ria confronts Yachiyo and Tsuruno after the reading, declaring she will give Yachiyo an acting bootcamp. She does not want Yachiyo&#039;s performance to drag down her makeup work or her reputation as Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at home, Yachiyo reviews the script. Tsuruno explains the Mizuna fairy tale to the rest of Mikazuki. Felicia becomes interested when she learns there are fight scenes. Tsuruno explains that the day Tsuyu and Chizuru teamed up was Tanabata, and people in Kamihama entrust their wishes to them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next week or so, Yachiyo is drilled on acting with a professional coach and Ria&#039;s guidance. She eventually executes her lines perfectly and Ria is relieved.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Sea is a Link Through Time /  The Call of the Open Sea===&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. There&#039;s two different versions at hand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Momoko and Mitama arrive at a resort near a village with a legend about a Diviner who eloped with a sailor and sank with stolen treasure. Mitama reveals they are actually there to hunt for this treasure based on a fairy tale Mikage heard. While exploring the private beach, they encounter Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao from the Tokime Clan, who stumbled there by accident. The group decides to spend the day together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|The Call of the Open Sea]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, they attend a festival in a nearby village that turns out to be a branch of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka learns the villagers consider Diviners a superstition. Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Big Sis, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Felicia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward. Kyubey finds a fuming Felicia, who decides to hire herself out as a mercenary to other magical girls for money or Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Felicia Mitsuki#Side Story|Felicia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia encounters Asuka and Sasara and defeats a witch for them, but they let her keep the Grief Seed and leave without paying, leaving her frustrated. Kako appears, concerned, but Felicia rejects her harshly and immediately regrets it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia helps defeat the witch and collapses from exhaustion, silently vowing to destroy every witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Touka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Hazuki and Nanaka team up with Ui to teach her how to defeat witches.

** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art. The Amanes are relieved, and Tsukuyo suggests they play their flutes at the shrine on the way home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo thinks the flute&#039;s song has always warmed her heart, while Tsukasa reflects it is a bridge connecting her to her sister. Both affirm that their only allies are each other, and they will always be together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends. Before Hibari&#039;s family moved away, she performed a charm ritual on Aru and promised they would meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message that Hibari is coming to visit Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After some confusion about directions, they reach the arcade where Hibari wins a crane game prize and helps Juri win one too. Hibari suddenly becomes pale and goes to get change, but she does not return. Kagome calls her and Hibari thanks her for being friends before saying goodbye, with an ambulance audible in the background.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome discovers a crowd under a Witch&#039;s Kiss heading toward a rooftop and sends emergency messages to every Magical Girl she knows. Himena&#039;s group arrives to help hold back the crowd, but other girls cannot come due to similar incidents elsewhere. Shizuka finally checks her phone and rushes over with the Tokime Clan just as someone threatens to ignite kerosene. They stop the crowd while Juri and Ao defeat the Witch with Livia&#039;s help. The Witch&#039;s Kiss is lifted and Hibari wakes up confused, with Livia covering that she collapsed from anemia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari admits she felt faint because seeing Kagome surrounded by friends made her happy but also made her feel left behind and alone. Kagome insists Hibari is wrong and promises to come running whenever Hibari is in trouble, asking them to stay best friends forever. Hibari reveals the two wishes she made when they parted came true: that she could speak her mind loudly and that Kagome would make lots of friends. They renew their promise to remain best friends forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari. They bonded over a shared love of &amp;quot;The Adventure of Mandragora.&amp;quot; Hibari gave Kagome a Mandragora plushie named Al-chan and asked to be friends. Kagome learned ventriloquism through Al-chan and grew more confident. The two became inseparable.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kagome&#039;s family moved due to her father&#039;s job transfer, Hibari put a charm on Al-chan with a secret wish. They promised to meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message from Hibari saying she will visit Kamihama. Kagome prepares to show her around.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives in Kamihama. Kagome is happy to see her. They go to the arcade. On the way, they run into Himena and her group. Kagome introduces Hibari. Later, Kagome helps Shizuka, who was lost and struggling with a foreigner. Hibari is impressed by how much Kagome has grown.&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the arcade. Hibari wins a plushie from a difficult crane game in one try. Juri, Yuna, and Ao appear. Juri asks Hibari to win a prize for her. Hibari succeeds. Juri offers a drink as thanks, but Hibari declines.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari suddenly feels faint and goes to get change. She does not return. Kagome becomes worried. Yuna and the others sense a Witch. Juri and Ao go to defeat it while Kagome and Yuna search for Hibari. Kagome receives a call from Hibari, who says goodbye and hangs up. Kagome fears the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large group of people under Witch&#039;s Kisses begins heading toward a rooftop. Kagome coordinates with nearby Magical Girls for help. Himena, Shigure, Miyuri, and Yuna hold them off. Reinforcements from other Magical Girls are delayed due to incidents elsewhere. The situation grows dire.&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka finally checks her phone and sees Kagome&#039;s emergency messages. The Tokime Clan arrives and helps stop the crowd. Juri and Ao defeat the Witch. Livia appears to assist. Everyone is safe.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hibari wakes up. Livia explains she fainted due to anemia. Hibari admits she felt left behind seeing Kagome surrounded by friends.

They promise to remain best friends forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yuna&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna and Hikaru discuss school troubles. A girl complains about a PE teacher who measured her skirt length and made her late for class. Yuna promises to discuss the matter with the Student Council.

Hikaru pledges to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yunass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yuna Kureha#Side Story|Yuna&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Senpai advises her to take responsibility to the end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yunass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Yuna holds a meeting with the Parents&#039; Association and teachers to discuss school rule changes. The Parents&#039; Association opposes loosening rules on hair color and hairstyle. Yuna argues that freedom develops autonomy. Hikaru testifies that quitting her club to support Yuna&#039;s campaign improved her grades. The principal proposes a one-year trial. The Parents&#039; Association agrees. Yuna reveals she had already negotiated with the principal and teachers in advance. Hikaru praises her like a politician.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yunass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yuna takes the lead while Juri remains competitive. Ao recalls how she wished for friends to play board games with, but those friendships faded when she lost interest. She realizes she did not truly wish for friends—she wished for convenient existences.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Aoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ao reflects on being exploited by the Monzenbashi group and how Juri destroyed them. Ao united the weaker Magical Girls into Janomiya. She resolves to be cunning for survival.

*Day 2 (Flashback)&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna explains that Juri lost to her and her senpai, which is why she joined Torayamachi. The group hunted Kyubey to stop him from recruiting Magical Girls. Kyubey agreed to leave Futatsugi. With Kyubey gone, Witches decreased, creating a Grief Seed shortage. Yuna proposed an expedition to find new territory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Day 3&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri&#039;s father came home late, discussing his upcoming land deal and boxing match against an old rival. He said he could not ignore past stains and needed to win. Juri reflected on how much she and her father were alike. She decided she needed to settle her own score with Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 4&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri struggled at school, frustrated by classmates who avoided conflict and teachers who enabled them. Her anger built up. She reflected on how she became a Magical Girl—she wished for a patient, stout heart to stay in school and not burden her father. The wish gave her patience but did not eliminate her anger; it built up as flames until she exploded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl Yuna introduced continued to spar with Juri. The girl revealed Juri had saved her from a Witch, and she admired Juri. Yuna appeared, and Juri realized Yuna had set up the arrangement to help her release stress. Juri still felt unsatisfied.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 5&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri prepared for their duel. Ryuugasaki and Torayamachi factions learned of the fight and gathered to watch, tensions rising. Juri&#039;s father won his boxing match and land deal. Juri and Yuna fought. Juri screamed that she wanted to fight the Yuna who had defeated her, not her ally. The girl rushed in to stop them. Juri&#039;s attack could not be stopped, and she fatally struck the girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 6&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri was in shock. The factions argued, blaming each other. Juri silenced them, declared she would leave Torayamachi, and announced Ryuugasaki&#039;s independence. She told her followers to follow her. Yuna said she hated Juri. Juri said she had put a nail in Yuna&#039;s coffin and dared her to pry it out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 7 (Present Day)&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri explained the rest of the story to the group. The accident triggered the Blood Tragedy of Futatsugi. Ranka had been exploited by Monzenbashi Bat, and Ao formed Janomiya. Juri reflected that the recent months had been the toughest. She came home late again. Her father asked about her absences. Juri said she was fighting for the future and would explain in a few months. She reflected on how much she and her father were alike, both unable to ignore past stains. She said she liked being with him, just the two of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shizuka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime trio goes shopping and stops by Emiri’s office, where they meet Hinano and Kanoko. After awkward introductions, Shizuka admits she does not know what a factory is, so Kanoko explains. Emiri asks what country life is like; Chiharu and Sunao give different answers from Shizuka since they are more familiar with modern living. They mention meeting only recently, surprising Emiri. Shizuka proudly explains they are bound by their duty to protect Japan, and Emiri says, “As long as you have no regrets, it’s okay.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The comment makes Shizuka pause, because she never considered regrets; she had eagerly accepted her wish to break an economic agreement without understanding it, trusting it was for Japan’s good. After thinking it over, she searches for information with help from others, but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka and Chiharu ask their mothers. Chiharu’s mother recalls the economic breakup was on the news but remembers little, saying it mainly affected industrial status quo. Unsatisfied, Shizuka decides the next day to view the elder’s files.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The recording reveals her wish was bought by a man who wanted to save factories from closure. Shizuka is devastated to learn she was used, but she forces a brave face and intensifies training her tribe members.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sunao and Chiharu, troubled by Shizuka’s state, remember Kanoko’s family factory and seek Emiri’s help to contact her.

Shigure wants to convince Touka and Nemu to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Hagumu is conflicted—she cannot trust the Magius after being exploited, but she also cannot decide what to do. She asks for time to think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hagumu Azumi#Side Story|Hagumu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu meets Maria, a former Magius member who joined the Union. Maria notices Hagumu looks unwell and offers to listen. Hagumu explains her dilemma: she cannot agree with the Union&#039;s ideology, but she also cannot follow Shigure&#039;s plan. Maria suggests Hagumu ask other Magical Girls how they decided.

** Hagumu asks Moka why she joined the Union. Moka says she joined because she was invited and everyone is kind.

** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches.

She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She fell in love with the feeling of cutting through the wind and quickly improved, eventually competing in freestyle competitions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Miyuri Yukari#Side Story|Miyuri&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s social anxiety worsened. She began experiencing panic attacks at competitions and could no longer compete. Her parents signed her up with the Hikarizuka Youth Association to help her interact with people. There, she met San for the first time. San invited her to dance practice. Miyuri fainted from overexcitement while watching San&#039;s legs. She realized she had a leg fetish and that it triggered her anxiety. She began avoiding San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s skating practice suffered. Her mother suggested she visit the Community Center. Miyuri avoided San again and went outside to practice skating alone at night. She felt free and happy while skating. San saw her dancing in the moonlight and was mesmerized. San decided she wanted to help Miyuri grow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish. San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training.

Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Her wish saved the field and gave hope to others. She admits her improved health was partly due to becoming a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The meal is delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After making the newspaper, Nayuta and Mikage fall asleep. Lavi reflects on her past. She reveals that she never found joy in living despite her family&#039;s efforts. Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true. She asks for a little more time in her beloved daily life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun. Everyone apologizes, and they end the day with a shared dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** In the dream, Alexandra&#039;s teacher appears—but he looks like Shigure. Other people appear as Himena and Hagumu. She recalls that her teacher was her math teacher and club advisor. He was strict and had a reputation for being scary. Alexandra remembers how she would complain about him with her classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After club activities, Alexandra wants to practice singing more. She goes to the rooftop and finds the teacher there. He allows her to practice under his supervision.

He mentions that being an adult is not that great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Alexandra feels sorrow and wants him to be happy. She begins planning to improve his reputation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love.

* Urara and Lavi travel to Yukuni. Urara loses her wallet, but Lavi finds it. At the agency, Urara&#039;s manager asks her to coach a children&#039;s diabolo class as a final job. Urara accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the diabolo class, Urara teaches the class alone. Some children struggle to follow her teaching style. Lavi, Alexandra, and Asahi watch from a distance. During lunch, Urara admits she cannot explain techniques well. Lavi analyzes the wrist angles and timing, and the others offer to help. The class is a success.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Urara feels inadequate and misses her former partner, Kurara. She remembers Kurara was better at teaching. Lavi notices Urara is depressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Several days later, Urara returns to Yukuni to pick up her resignation papers. Lavi accompanies her. Urara admits she misses Kurara. Lavi warns her that reconciliation is unlikely, but Urara insists on trying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the agency, Urara confronts Kurara. Kurara reveals she always resented being compared to Urara&#039;s natural talent and felt like &amp;quot;Not-Urara.&amp;quot; She says breaking up the duo was for the best and asks Urara to stop involving herself. Urara is devastated. She returns to Kamihama and cries to Lavi, who comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Urara receives a message from her manager. A girl named Rei from the diabolo class wants more lessons. Urara agrees to meet her. Rei wants to learn the &amp;quot;Urara Special&amp;quot; to beat a prodigy her age. Urara remembers how she unknowingly hurt Kurara by copying her tricks too easily. She decides to coach Rei properly. Lavi offers to stay and help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Nayuta&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta dreams of proving folkloric studies superior to Touka, but Lavi wakes her with obnoxious humming. Lavi scolds her for being a deep sleeper and rushes her to school in Takarazaki City, where Nayuta complains that Lavi acts like a stern stepmother rather than a kind maid her age.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In class, a self‑assessment exercise has Nayuta describe herself as quiet and diligent, but her peers call her stubborn, someone who hates losing and speaks her mind. She reluctantly accepts “stubborn” fits her persistent search for her father. The teacher introduces the Johari Window, explaining that without communication people understand themselves at most fifty percent and others only twenty‑five percent—a lesson that sticks with Nayuta.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Nayuta meets Iroha at the train station. Both are surprised the other remembers them. They discover they are the same grade and both hail from Takarazaki, and Iroha mentions she also searched for a lost loved one. Nayuta requests to see Yachiyo, apologizing for her bluntness. Iroha reassures her, noting they are both stubborn junior‑high girls from Takarazaki who came to Kamihama to find someone important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Yachiyo has no new information about Nayuta’s father. Tsuruno has Nayuta show a photo, but no one recognizes him. Felicia suggests Nayuta simply ask Touka, since she also grew up at Satomi Medical Center. Nayuta refuses, saying she cannot trust Touka, and apologizes for her stubbornness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Nayuta admits to Lavi she slept poorly because she cannot stop thinking about Touka. Mikage arrives, upset after a fight with Sudachi: Mikage complained about school, Sudachi said she envied Mikage for being able to attend, and they argued over whose position was harder.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home. Lavi approves of her standing her ground, and Nayuta realizes she and Lavi are more alike than she thought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Himika tells her about Emiri’s counseling center, so they go there together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the center, Emiri, Sasara, Asuka, and Kanoko are delighted to meet Mitama’s little sister. Mikage explains she is looking for a friend, but Emiri points out they are already her friends. After some banter about fashion, Mikage tries on Kanoko’s outfits and has a wonderful time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mikage wonders if the older girls truly see her as a friend or just as a kid. Himika suggests she meet girls her own age like Ui, Touka, and Nemu, though Mikage is uncertain about befriending the geniuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When she returns home, Mitama warns her that Ui has been kidnapped by Promised Blood and forbids Mikage from associating with the Kamihama Magia Union. Mikage reluctantly agrees but is frustrated her efforts to make friends have been stopped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama leaves for work and Mikage accuses her of hypocrisy—Mitama can spend time with the KMU while Mikage cannot. She runs out, declaring she will find a new big sister. She finds Emiri’s office closed but runs into Rika and Ren, who quickly realize she is Mitama’s sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Mikage bond over fashion and go to some cheap stores, where Mikage realizes she left her wallet. They play a crane game instead, and Rika wins stuffed animals for Ren and Mikage. Mikage asks Rika to be her big sister; Rika declines but encourages her to talk to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory. Kanoko lets her help make a pendant, but before Mikage can convince her to become her sister, Mitama arrives and drags her home. Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any. Later, she finds Mitama has made all her favorite foods, and they reconcile off‑screen; Mikage gives Mitama the pendant she made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage declares she will not give up on making Kamihama Magia Union friends. She then decides that since Lavi and Nayuta are older, they can be her big sisters instead. They exchange a look and agree to treat her for one day. Mikage expresses her hope that someday she and Sudachi can play with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited again. She jokes about the visitor&#039;s persistence. Yozuru and Sudachi return from stocking up on essentials. Sudachi trips, and Yozuru hesitates to help. Livia instructs Yozuru to help Sudachi stand and dust her off. Yozuru apologizes and explains she is not equipped with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the trailer, Yozuru offers tea. Sudachi wants teacakes. Livia allows them to have some as a treat. Livia reflects that she needs to help the girls mature. Yozuru has lost compassion, while Sudachi needs to find her words. Livia believes they will complement each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is found sleeping and crying. Yozuru gives her a handkerchief. Livia says crying in sleep happens occasionally and is common among Coordinators. She thanks Sudachi for finding her dropped ring. Sudachi sulks when Livia refuses to give her sweets as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the ring is a treasure and a way of reprimanding herself. It is the reason she lives for &amp;quot;Mister Sun.&amp;quot; She says she may tell the full story another time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia shares her philosophy: no matter how awful life is, do not drift in a bad direction or relieve resentment with a curse. Magical Girls are born from hope and must overcome struggles with hope. She warns against corrupting purity and urges supporting those with pure hearts. She says she has said enough for now and will share the rest when she is ready. She asks the visitor to promise to live strong, face forward, and not end up like her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After the battle, Nanaka explains Lil&#039; Kyubey followed her into the labyrinth and returned a flower she dropped. Nanaka asks Ryo to tell Lil&#039; Kyubey to stop visiting unfriendly Magical Girls. Ryo realizes Lil&#039; Kyubey avoids girls with potential and is not soliciting anyone.

This is also belonging to the anime partly. Write the main part on the magia record and then the second part on the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices. Kyubey, whom she calls a talking cat, keeps urging her to make a contract, but she does not know what to wish for—though she finds herself wishing God could speak to humans like Kyubey does.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the boy reads the fairy tale Kuroe recommended. He questions a detail in the story, but Kuroe simply accepts it because the writer says so. He jokes that he feels alive because Kuroe thinks so deeply, meaning it as a compliment. Later a teacher asks about her high school plans; Kuroe claims she has decided, but she is merely following her family’s expectations and secretly does not want to go to high school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey continues pressing her. Kuroe wonders whether it would be acceptable to let others fulfill her desires for her. She asks peers what they would wish for, but ends up jealous of those with elaborate fantasies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kuroe goes to the train station and senses a Witch. Inside the Labyrinth, she saves a young, inexperienced Magical Girl. When the girl asks for a spare Grief Seed, Kuroe lies and says the Witch got away. The girl promises they will both become strong and leaves.

She says she is going to die tomorrow and runs off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe dreams of Iroha, though she cannot understand her words. Her Doppel reflects that her contract gave her affirmation of existence, yet she still does not feel like anyone - she simply adapts to whatever situation she is in, resented by no one and dependent on no one, but still wondering who she should be. In the dream, Iroha asks what scares her and offers to figure out who Kuroe is together. Kuroe wakes up wondering why she dreamed of the camping trip, and she calls Iroha, deciding she wants to connect with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroeds&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Doppel Story|Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sasara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara is taken hostage at knifepoint in a convenience store. Despite her desire to be a knight, she is too terrified to act. Though the police arrest the criminal and she is safe, Sasara feels ashamed and hates herself for her cowardice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sasara Minagi#Side Story|Sasara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sasara meets Kyubey and when he makes his offer, Sasara accepts without hesitation. As her father works for an emergency rescue squad, a job she admires, he gave her a favorite picture book about a knight who defeats a dragon to save a village. Sasara carries this book everywhere and has always wanted to be like her father and the knight. She wishes to become a knight who can protect and save people, asking for a stronger heart and stronger convictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Sasara has been hunting witches and saving their victims ever since making her contract. She calls herself the Knight who protects the people of Kamihama, but over time her feelings become tainted. The people she rescues never remember what happened and do not acknowledge her. Sasara realizes she wants someone to appreciate her and questions whether she really wanted to become a knight at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book. She thought she could accept the people she helped not talking to her, but now it feels like she does not even exist. When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nanaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Needs to be re-checked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako to ask for their help fighting a witch they all share a connection to. To explain why she needs them, Nanaka tells them how she became a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka&#039;s father headed a traditional Japanese flower arranging school, but when he fell ill, senior students took over and grew the school&#039;s popularity while abandoning its traditions, shutting out Nanaka&#039;s family entirely. On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform. She decided to lay the Soul Gem with its owner&#039;s body, and when she placed the gem in the girl&#039;s hands, the girl began breathing again. Later, Kyubey explained that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Kyubey asks if Nanaka will tell the others this secret, but she says she is waiting for the right moment. Nanaka then reflects that her true revenge target is actually Kyubey himself. Her power makes it clear he is her enemy, though she does not know all the details, and she is waiting for the right time to turn against him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Nanaka&#039;s team is still unable to find the witch. Akira reports meeting a magical girl mercenary. As the girls plan their next move, Nanaka muses about how she is gathering the determination of magical girls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Shizuku&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Re-check.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuku enjoys time with her friends but feels disconnected from them and uncertain about her future. She finds comfort in Fūnī, a traveler who visits her family&#039;s cafe and shares his dream of finding a place to belong. When he invites her to search with him, she feels hopeful that she will not be alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Fūnī dies in an accident, and Shizuku makes a contract with Kyubey, wishing to be taken to him instantly. She arrives at the hospital as he dies, begging him not to leave her. She resolves to continue searching for a place to belong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As a magical girl, Shizuku gains the power to connect spaces, allowing her to travel the world much like Fūnī once did. She continues her search, taking jobs from an unknown magical girl who pays her to use her power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day after a job, Yachiyo Nanami, Tsuruno Yui, and Iroha Tamaki approach her. Iroha invites Shizuku to their house, where she meets Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba. She stays for dinner and overnight, observing how the five girls live together like a family. Yachiyo invites her to stay as long as she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku realizes the other girls have found their place to belong, but she understands that her own place was with Fūnī. She cries as his last words finally make sense to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, Shizuku ends her arrangement with the unknown magical girl and returns to Yachiyo&#039;s house, hoping she can stay there. When she arrives, the house is empty, and she sees the personal items that mark each girl&#039;s place. Overhearing them return, she realizes their home is complete with five people and she does not belong there. She leaves quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and the others had prepared a welcome party with cake, but Shizuku never comes. Yachiyo senses that Shizuku might disappear if you look away and admits she should have seen this coming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku returns to the unknown magical girl and asks for more work. When asked why she came back, she says their picture was complete with five people and she must keep searching for where she belongs. She mentally apologizes to Yachiyo, knowing her actions will cause disaster but feeling unprepared to take responsibility. She wonders if she will ever find solid ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Akira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After Nanaka and Sasara contracts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Akira wakes from a dream about being attacked by a familiar and finds Sasara Minagi nearby, who is out for a walk. Sasara offers to help Akira search for an old man&#039;s lost cane, recalling she saw children playing with a red cane, and the two head off together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akira Shinobu#Side Story|Akira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akira reflects on her upbringing in her father&#039;s karate dojo, where she learned to always help those in need and earned the neighborhood nickname &amp;quot;Troubleshooter&amp;quot; starting at age six.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira started middle school, a girl asked her to be a bodyguard against a stalker. The girl brought her to a park, confessed her love, and admitted to lying about the stalker. Akira politely rejected her, saying she didn&#039;t know much about that sort of thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Akira learned the girl had vanished and spent days searching for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day Akira found the barrier, she retraced the girl&#039;s steps in the park and stepped into a witch&#039;s labyrinth. She found the missing girl among blank-faced victims marked by a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Kyubey appeared, explained about witches and magical girls, and offered a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Familiars attacked and overwhelmed her despite her karate training. Injured, Akira wished to save all those people, transformed, and destroyed the familiars.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, none of the victims remembered the incident. Kyubey told Akira she needed to defeat the witch itself, which became her destiny as a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a magical girl, Akira patrolled Kamihama investigating witch-related incidents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day, she encountered a familiar without transforming and dropped her Soul Gem. Unable to retrieve it, she fled the barrier and collapsed unconscious outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira woke, Nanaka Tokiwa introduced herself as the magical girl who found her and picked up her Soul Gem. Nanaka advised withdrawing since Akira had collapsed, and Akira reluctantly agreed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Nanaka called asking for a favor. When they met again, Nanaka requested a duel, claiming Akira was weak and should quit hunting witches. Akira refused, citing her family&#039;s dojo, and they dueled. After some fighting, Nanaka ended the duel and apologized. She explained she wanted to test Akira&#039;s resolve and invited her to work together as a team. Akira relented after Nanaka claimed she was troubled and couldn&#039;t fight witches alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present day, Akira returns the cane to the old man and thanks Sasara. She reflects on meeting many magical girls since joining Nanaka and wonders how many exist in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Manaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes Manaka cooking at her family&#039;s failing restaurant, Walnuts. She dreams of following her father&#039;s footsteps as a chef and believes that gaining admission to the prestigious St. Lillianna Academy will help her cook like a high class lady and restore the restaurant&#039;s popularity. Kyubey notes her poor grades make passing unlikely, but Manaka insists this is her father&#039;s last chance and resolves to study.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Manaka Kurumi#Side Story|Manaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Upon starting at Mizuna, Manaka visits the student council and offers to cook for an upcoming joint assembly with St. Lillian. The council dismisses her, explaining they already arranged a chef.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Walking home, Kyubey again offers a contract. Fed up, Manaka accepts but wishes not for the restaurant&#039;s success, but for a chance to spread their restaurant&#039;s flavors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the assembly, Manaka begins selling popular bentos at school and works as a visiting chef at St. Lillian every Thursday.

Meanwhile, her father receives invitations to tour as a chef and seems genuinely happy traveling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt; Manaka questions why she even bothered trying.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Manaka finishes selling bentos and keeps one for herself. Sana Futaba rushes in, upset at arriving too late.

Sana accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana promises to arrive earlier tomorrow, but Manaka reveals this may be her last day selling bentos. She admits she thinks she made her restaurant even more obscure, and if she is not helping it, she sees no point in cooking.

Seeing Sana smile gives Manaka new motivation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ria asks Manaka to be her bodyguard while buying the magazine featuring her article, wearing sunglasses to avoid being seen. Inside, she discovers her article occupies only one page, while Yachiyo has an eight-page spread. Furious and convinced Yachiyo did it on purpose, Ria tears the magazine in half, and the clerk charges her for it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;riass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ria Ami#Side Story|Ria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ria encourages her not to let failure discourage her, insisting she has talent. Tsumugi decides to make a contract with Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Manaka and Ria fight familiars in a witch&#039;s barrier. Tsumugi suddenly appears and uses her new magic to consume a familiar&#039;s attack, gaining power from it. The three defeat the witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Walnuts afterward, Tsumugi honestly criticizes Manaka&#039;s omelette, explaining her wish now forces her to tell the truth about food. In a flashback, she wished to help Manaka by learning what she could do. She realized she needed to give objective criticism to truly help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Tsumugi helps Manaka close Walnuts. She notices Manaka changed the recipe based on her feedback.

===Ren&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren stands on a rooftop, contemplating suicide. Kyubey warns her that if she repeats her previous actions, her Soul Gem will be destroyed. Ren understands. She thinks about how people have always said hurtful things and believes she cannot live in such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nearby, Rika defeats a Witch and sees Ren about to jump. She saves her and asks why she wants to die. Ren cannot answer. She reflects on her childhood: she has always had trouble speaking and was teased and bullied for it. She attempted suicide once before but was scared of dying. Kyubey appeared and granted her wish to live.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explained that the bullying was caused by a Witch&#039;s influence—Witches hurt people, who then hurt others. Ren resolved to destroy Witches to create a better world. However, no matter how many Witches she defeated, people still acted cruelly. Kyubey told her that even destroying all Witches would not remove malice from people&#039;s hearts. This is why Ren wanted to die again, but she cannot explain any of this to Rika.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika takes Ren to meet other Magical Girls. At Emiri&#039;s Trouble Consultation Office, Ren meets Akira but cannot introduce herself and nearly cries. Emiri brings her to Ria, who gives her hand cream, and Konomi, who gives her chamomile tea. Rika then takes Ren to the chemistry club, where Hinano gives her candy instead of medicine. They visit Kanoko at her family&#039;s metal factory, where Kanoko shows a dress she designed with mushroom motifs and gives Ren accessories made of metal sheets. Emiri leaves, and Rika admits she never actually listened to Ren&#039;s problem.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika shares her own story: she wished for someone she loved to love her back, even though that person already liked someone else. She says she stole that love with a selfish wish and asks Ren if she thinks she is a horrible person. Ren manages to say she does not think so. Rika is relieved. She explains that to get others to open up, you must share the secrets that create distance.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren tries to tell her story but cannot get the words out and begins crying. Rika tells her not to force herself. She shows Ren all the gifts she received from the others and says that if all these people were thinking about her, she should continue to live. She says the world is filled with both bad and beautiful things, and the most painful thing is to have nothing. Ren says she will live. Rika leaves, and Ren thanks her. Ren thinks that if Rika can accept her story, she will be able to live forever.&lt;br /&gt;

===Konoha&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoha manages the finances and makes decisions for Hazuki and Ayame. When Hazuki calls to say she&#039;s stuck at meetings and suggests take-out, Konoha decides to cook instead to save money. Despite Hazuki&#039;s warnings, Ayame tries Konoha&#039;s cooking. Later, Hazuki returns to find Ayame sick; Konoha learns Ayame was too polite to refuse the food. Hazuki offers to handle meals from now on, which prompts Konoha to resolve that she will learn to make delicious food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konoha Shizumi#Side Story|Konoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha buys cookware and studies cooking theory, suspecting Hazuki might be a cooking prodigy. She makes a disastrous meal incorporating everything she read, and Hazuki collapses after tasting it. Ayame brings home a flyer for a cooking class at &amp;quot;Youshoku Walnuts,&amp;quot; noting that the food there made Hazuki cry. Ayame encourages Konoha, and Konoha resolves to take the class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Konoha meets the teacher, Manaka Kurumi, at the restaurant. Manaka attempts to teach knife skills and how to crack eggs, but Konoha struggles with both. Manaka promises to help her improve. She has Konoha make practice dishes, but Konoha burns oil, over-dashes rice, and explodes miso soup, so Manaka has to take over each time. When finished, Manaka tastes it, insists it&#039;s good to protect her reputation, eats it all, and passes out. Konoha tries the leftovers and confirms it is truly terrible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha hunts a witch with her team while distracted by thoughts about cooking. After they defeat it, Himika Mao arrives late, introduces herself, and asks if they are sisters; Hazuki explains they are not. Himika mentions she is thirteen with five younger siblings. When Ayame asks about being an older sister, Himika invites her to meet her family. Konoha asks to come as Ayame&#039;s guardian upon learning Himika cooks for her family, and Himika accepts. Hazuki says she will prepare dinner at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, at Himika&#039;s house, Konoha and Ayame observe the cramped living space. Himika explains she uses cheap leftover meat blends from a disposal man to feed her family. She serves dinner, and all her siblings along with Ayame eat. When Konoha asks if the food is tasty, the siblings say they never think it&#039;s bad because Himika does her best. Konoha reflects on Azalea&#039;s House and realizes she was too focused on theory rather than on who she was cooking for. She thanks Himika and leaves with Ayame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, Ayame and Hazuki find Konoha cooking again. Konoha promises to give up if she fails this time. Focusing on her feelings rather than theory, she makes a meal from Azalea&#039;s. Hazuki and Ayame try it and say it&#039;s bad, but it&#039;s edible. Konoha is excited that someone could actually eat her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ayame returns home to find Konoha cooking again. Hazuki observes that Konoha has found joy in the act of cooking. Konoha narrates that she learned cooking is about heart, and could now make food people could finish. She thinks cooking is fun, though Ayame and Hazuki sometimes scream loud enough to startle the neighbors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Konoha attempts beef stroganoff, a dish Hazuki admits is difficult. Hazuki and Ayame try it and collapse. Konoha says she will redo it. She narrates that experience matters, and wonders what to try next.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hazuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame meet with Nanaka, Meiyui, Akira, and Kako at a restaurant to discuss how to handle situations where both teams target the same Witch. Meiyui proposes a first-come, first-served rule, but Hazuki points out it would lead to disputes over who arrived first. Ayame suggests settling conflicts with rock-paper-scissors, and though Meiyui argues there&#039;s no time for games in battle, Hazuki has them try it on the spot. When Ayame and Meiyui play, Meiyui uses a martial arts technique to change Ayame&#039;s hand, causing an argument between the groups. Hazuki calms everyone down and suggests they go home for the day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hazuki Yusa#Side Story|Hazuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls reconvene at the restaurant. Hazuki proposes a new rule: anyone who uses magic against a Witch gains proportional rights to the Grief Seed. Both teams agree, and Hazuki suggests they gather data by hunting together. They split into mixed teams—Ayame and Kako form one; Hazuki, Akira, and Meiyui another and Konoha and Nanaka stand by to help as needed. After the successful joint hunt, Nanaka meets with Hazuki alone at the restaurant. She reveals she believes Hazuki manipulated the entire situation from the first meeting, noting that her team was impressed with Hazuki&#039;s group&#039;s teamwork but that she herself was more struck by Hazuki&#039;s modus operandi. Nanaka asks why Hazuki orchestrated everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki admits she wanted Konoha, who is introverted, to connect with others and that after the Witch fight, Konoha seemed genuinely happy. She explains her goal was simply to build connections between her group and other Kamihama Magical Girls. Nanaka accepts this and says she&#039;s glad to work with her. Later, Hazuki writes in her notebook that Nanaka is shrewd but fascinating, and she resolves to continue reaching out to other Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ayame&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame encounters Felicia during a Witch fight, and their rivalry quickly escalates when Felicia dismisses Ayame&#039;s challenge to lead the girls to argue and accidentally let the Witch escape. Frustrated by losing to Felicia specifically, Ayame confronts her afterward, and despite Kako&#039;s attempts to mediate, the two insist on settling things through some competition. Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch. Emerging back in the park, Felicia thanks Ayame, and they realize the race was never finished. They resume, but Ayame admits she&#039;s fine with not winning and she has come to accept Felicia as a strong rival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ayamess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ayame Mikuri#Side Story|Ayame&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Masara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro gives Masara cookies simply because she wants to, leaving Masara confused by the gesture. Masara flashes back to their first meeting, when Kokoro had blamed herself for being unable to protect others and Masara told her she should not carry that guilt. Kokoro had asked to stay by Masara&#039;s side, explaining that those words had saved her. In the present, Kokoro asks what Masara is thinking about, and when Masara admits she was remembering their first meeting, Kokoro smiles. Masara does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Masara Kagami#Side Story|Masara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara visits Mitama for magical strengthening, bringing many Grief Seeds with her. Mitama notes her unusual enthusiasm, and Masara explains she wants to get stronger in order to find something that might change her life. Mitama suggests she try attending a summer festival and hands her a flyer, but Masara shows no interest. When Mitama brings up Kokoro, mentioning that Kokoro has talked about her, Masara insists they are merely working together, not friends, and finds Kokoro&#039;s expectations troublesome. Mitama claims Masara is actually worried about Kokoro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara reflects on her childhood, remembering how her parents had her swim from a young age. Despite showing talent, she never felt any joy or sense of accomplishment, though she continued hoping it might eventually change. It never did. She became a magical girl thinking her dull life might finally become interesting, but even that eventually grew boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead. The Witch targets Kokoro, and Masara injures herself by blocking the attack. The Witch escapes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro apologizes, but Masara claims she only did what was most logical, since the Witch could not have been defeated alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Masara keeps flashing back to the moment the Witch attacked Kokoro whenever she looks at her injury. The recurring memory bothers her, though she does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Kokoro offers to hunt the Witch again with Masara. Masara flashes back to the previous fight and insists she will hunt it alone. She tells Kokoro she is a burden and that she does not like getting hurt. Masara leaves Kokoro crying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara tells Mitama what happened. Mitama suggests Masara was actually trying to protect Kokoro. Masara is at a loss and wonders why being around Kokoro causes her to get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro blames herself for causing Masara trouble. She senses the same Witch and, respecting Masara&#039;s wish to hunt alone, decides to fight it by herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help. Masara agrees and tells Kokoro to call her next time. When Kokoro worries about causing trouble, Masara insists she is doing it for herself, because she does not like seeing Kokoro get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Kokoro notices the summer festival flyer and asks if Masara is interested. Masara admits she is a little interested.

Kokoro and Masara are confused by her comment, which exasperates Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Desperate to help, she wished to Kyubey to cure the florist&#039;s illness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;!--The Flashback: Their First Meeting--&amp;gt;Kaede and Kako visit the shop for the first time. Kako searches for a specific flower, which Konomi identifies. During tea break, Kako explains she read about the flowers in a novel and wants to buy some for a friend&#039;s birthday. Kaede admits she has never given flowers but receiving them once felt wonderful. Konomi smiles and says she has an idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of the flower giveaway, Konomi, Kaede, and Kako take to the streets, suddenly appearing to hand bouquets to strangers before disappearing. A lottery winner, a despairing old man, and a boy who just got a girl&#039;s number all receive flowers. Later, the girls reunite. Kaede gave to ten people, Kako to thirteen. Konomi apologizes, but they agree to try again the day after tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Konomi, Kaede, and Kako realize they are the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi panics, fearing they have made people hate flowers. They notice a little girl crying because her mother refused to buy her a toy ring. Konomi offers a flower, but the girl wants a ring. Kako fashions the flower into a ring, and the girl calls it pretty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi realizes they have been giving flowers without understanding what recipients truly want. She decides to create something more meaningful.

They prepare a fair at the shop to showcase it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi shows the cake to the florist, who gives a muted reaction and announces her retirement, planning to leave Konomi the shop.

===Rika&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Hinano, Emiri, Ria, Manaka, Akira&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Rika is invited to a blind date by Emiri Kisaki, who brings along Hinano Miyako, a girl recently heartbroken. When the boys on the date mock Hinano&#039;s youthful appearance and odd way of speaking, Rika surprises her by defending them. Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her. Emiri and Rika quickly reassure Hinano, with Rika adding that Hinano is actually cool for having been able to confess her feelings—unlike Rika, who never confessed at all and watched her crush end up with someone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri then suggests Rika should make a wish, revealing that she and Hinano are magical girls who each received one wish in exchange for fighting monsters. Rika wonders if this is some kind of game. Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika muses that her wish was granted and she is now dating her crush, yet she feels deeply unhappy. When Kyubey asks what is wrong, she admits that every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens with unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ria warns Mayu that her sweet, innocent air attracts older men and that if things continue, his family will fall apart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home that night, Mayu reflects on the day she learned of her father&#039;s death and on Ria&#039;s words. Kyubey appears and offers a contract. Thinking she does not want her boss&#039;s family to suffer the same hardship her family did, Mayu makes her wish: to stop his family from breaking apart. That night, she narrates that her boss transferred to a new job, and she is sure her wish was granted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later at school, Mayu finds boys have started hitting on her. Ria constantly steps in to drive them off. Before Ria can finish telling Mayu to shape up, they both sense a Witch. The girls reveal they are Magical Girls, and they track the Witch to the museum&#039;s special exhibit room. Sayuki suddenly appears and reveals she is also a Magical Girl. During the fight, Mayu notices the Witch only targets Ria. She asks Sayuki to lend her strength and launches a surprise attack, destroying the Witch. Afterward, Mayu thinks that to protect people she must think clearly before acting, and Ria admits Mayu was more reliable than usual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As a child, Sayuki attends an idol performance with her parents, but when the crowd becomes dangerously wild, she is almost squeezed to death, leaving her with lasting trauma.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayuki Fumino#Side Story|Sayuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Growing up in a happy family, Sayuki develops a deep interest in katanas that creates a gap between her and her classmates. Though they respect her passion, she feels lonely without someone to share it with. This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert. Sayuki believes speaking out is important no matter the outcome and swears to protect the kind people who have been kind to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka. Moka thanks Alina for saving her and says she has now made new friends, resolving to devote herself to exterminating witches and admitting she is only a little afraid of them now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Riko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Sis = Miss K. Check what Exedra says&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Years ago, Riko spent her childhood with a cheerful older neighbor girl she called &amp;quot;Sis&amp;quot; while her parents worked long hours at their family bento shop. They grew as close as sisters until Sis became engaged to marry someone far away. When Sis&#039;s father suddenly opposed the match despite approving it before, Riko wished upon Kyubey that everyone would give their blessings to the marriage. Her wish worked, and Sis moved away happily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Riko Chiaki#Side Story|Riko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Riko struggles with loneliness waiting alone at home while her parents work overtime. One night, after they call to say they cannot return until after midnight due to a huge order, years of broken promises finally overwhelm her. She snaps, calls them liars who were never there for her like Sis was, and tells them she hates them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko goes Witch hunting to vent her stress but nearly dies against a stronger Witch. In that moment, despair crushes her and she wishes she had never made her wish so Sis would still be there. Tsukasa, a regular at her family&#039;s shop, finds her crying and listens as Riko confides everything about her feelings and what happened with Sis. Speaking from experience, Tsukasa tells her that separation is no excuse for broken contact and recommends she reach out to Sis directly. Riko messages Sis that night before falling asleep exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sis replies promptly. She explains she wanted to contact Riko but left home after arguing with her father and thought a visit would be awkward. She also reveals she was hospitalized to give birth and only discharged that day, inviting Riko to come see her instead. When Riko asks her parents for permission, expecting them to refuse, they apologize sincerely and grant permission for the trip.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Riko visits Sis with her parents. Sis introduces her husband and newborn daughter, hoping Riko will get along with her child just as they once got along. Riko makes a silent promise to be a good sister to this baby and aims to grow into a fine lady, just like Sis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maria&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Maria bids her parents goodbye for the day. Her mother gives her money for dinner, which Maria insists on keeping only a small portion of, and Maria mentions she will be at her part‑time daycare job after school. On her way to school, she runs into two little girls, one of whom attends the daycare where she works.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the daycare, the children swarm Maria with requests. She notices a boy named Shin‑kun looking down and tries to find out what is wrong, but he does not want to talk. Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work. Maria suggests she spend a day with Shin to reconnect, and Shin’s mother agrees. Maria promises to put together a plan by the weekend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Maria’s classmates tease her about being a widow with a love child, and she plays along before explaining she is helping a mother and son from the daycare. Later she presents her weekend plans to Shin’s mother, who is impressed and begins looking forward to the outing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, Maria goes to the park where she knows Shin and his mother should be. She watches as they struggle to connect: Shin wants to play in a fountain, but his mother cannot explain why he should not, and they end up standing awkwardly. Maria pretends to run into them and decides to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to the playground, where Maria encourages Shin to try a tightrope bridge. When he gets nervous, she prompts his mother to take his hand, and together they cross. After lunch, Shin’s mother gets a call from work asking her to come in on her day off. She agrees, and Shin looks heartbroken. Maria offers to watch Shin until dark, and his mother gratefully accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria takes Shin to various places, and he sadly remarks that his mother is too busy for him. Understanding his loneliness, Maria vows to make the day special. At the aquarium she convinces him to see a show he ends up loving. As evening falls, they stop for takoyaki, and Maria explains that his mother tells him not to eat while walking for good reasons. Shin finally understands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shin’s mother appears, explaining work no longer needs her. She admits she has trouble expressing herself, but Shin overhears and hugs her. They both confess they thought the other did not love them. Maria shares that she was often lonely as a child but still loved her parents, and she tells Shin’s mother she does not need to be perfect. Shin shows his mother the souvenir and the last piece of takoyaki he saved for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As darkness falls, Maria walks home alone. She reflects on whether she could ever be a good mother, remembering Kyubey’s revelation that her Soul Gem is her actual soul and her body is merely a vessel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mel&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mel stays home after her reading warns of lethal danger, but Kanagi dismisses her concerns and drags her to school anyway. On the way, a Witch targets only Mel before escaping, and a possessed car then attempts to run her down. She flees west into the Mizuno region, where Yachiyo saves her. Despite Kanagi&#039;s warnings about discrimination from the West, Yachiyo&#039;s kindness puts her at ease, and Mel accepts her invitation to stay. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she requests to join Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kanagi gives permission. From that day, Mel bonds with Mifuyu, Tsuruno, and Momoko as part of her new team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One other day, Mel arrives excitedly with entirely positive readings and offers to read the team&#039;s fortunes. Despite Yachiyo&#039;s skepticism, Mel coaxes her into a session predicting a career breakthrough.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Yachiyo announces with disbelief that she was chosen for a nationwide magazine feature on Kamihama&#039;s cafes. Mifuyu and Momoko then receive positive readings about a matchmaking and exam results.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes. Afterward they visit Mitama, who suggests they train in Endless Mirrors if they plan to remain independent rather than join Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Temari and Mikura commute to school exhausted. Temari stayed up testing a new metal pen, and Mikura correctly guesses she is in modern literature mode.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Temari is distracted thinking about Witch strategies while Mikura worries about Seira, who had fallen asleep in class from exhaustion. Seira joins them, and Temari suggests they create their own space to escape the stress of magical girl life. Seira proposes forming a school club where they can pursue their hobbies freely, and they agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Seira secures an empty classroom as a provisional club room under the name Historical Research Club. On paper they study history, but in reality it becomes their oasis for reading, watching films, and relaxing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Ikumi explains how in middle school she dreamed of becoming an idol despite lacking talent, while her friend Yumi dreamed of volleyball. They realized they could fulfill each other&#039;s dreams instead.

Kyubey repeatedly offered her a contract, but she refused because wishing for her dream would mean she never achieved it through hard work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In high school, Ikumi worked at a school-organized maid cafe that gave struggling students performance opportunities.

** Her wish came true when the landowner, moved by the final performance, sold the cafe to the school who remodeled and reopened it. Later, while fighting a witch, Ikumi was saved by another magical girl who turned out to be Yumi. Yumi revealed she had wished for someone to recognize Ikumi&#039;s talents and give her an idol chance.

* On the weekend, the two meet up with Riko Chiaki and Ashley Taylor, who are making a horror video about the same rumor. The group searches the mountains at night. Kush can see in the dark and leads them, but she is still sleepy. They find a discarded camera containing a video of Rui Mizuki dropping it and disappearing. When a mysterious sound frightens the others, they accidentally leave Kush behind. Left alone, Kush eats cherry tomatoes and senses a witch. The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one. They also learn that Rui is Kush’s friend; she had filmed Kush entering the barrier before being caught by it. The group later glimpses a white‑haired silhouette and flees, thinking a real vampire might exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley posts a video warning others to stay away from the mountains. At Mitama’s shop, Ui hears about the incident and learns the vampire was just a misunderstanding. Meanwhile, Chika Aoba, whose animal traps and axe cuts the group had found, decides to move her work farther from the trails so she does not frighten anyone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Homura Akemi in Magia Record#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is flooded with more memories of her other self preparing for Walpurgisnacht with allies. She wonders if there might be a real possibility for salvation in this timeline, where no one has to be sacrificed. However, she believes it has nothing to do with her. She breaks out of the labyrinth and the dream ends. Kyubey asks if she was curious about what happened to her other self. Homura says it does not matter; she believes in Madoka&#039;s words that her efforts will not be in vain. A new universe is about to be born, and Homura must protect it for Madoka&#039;s sake. Kyubey states they will both forget Madoka, but Homura is determined to never forget her.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new universe where Witches do not exist, Kyoko is surprised to find Sayaka has disappeared. Mami explains the Law of Cycles causes Magical Girls to disappear when they lose hope. Homura cries as she remembers Madoka, but neither Mami nor Kyoko know who Madoka is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka spend the day together in Kamihama, enjoying each other’s company until they encounter Ria Ami, a model and magical girl who has already defeated the witch they were tracking. Ria invites them to tea and later takes them to the fashion district, where she notices that Homura’s attention never leaves Madoka. Admitting her jealousy, Ria says she wishes someone would look at her the same way, and Homura replies that she will protect Madoka. After Ria departs, Homura thinks that even if Madoka does not realize how cool she is, she will still save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Homura steals weapons from a group called the Soukaihou using her time stop, but she is caught afterward by Meiyui Chun, a magical girl affiliated with the group. Instead of punishing her, Meiyui thanks her for taking weapons that belonged to troublemakers and invites Homura to share mapo tofu. Over the meal, Meiyui learns Homura fights to protect someone precious to her and says she understands, offering her support and suggesting the spicy dish whenever the burden becomes too painful to bear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Homura is practicing her shooting alone when Natsuki Utsuho, a magical girl who cheers for others, offers to encourage her. Natsuki deduces Homura’s time stop ability and gives advice that significantly improves her aim. When Natsuki suggests Homura ask Mami to coach her, Homura calls, and Mami arrives within an hour. Mami uses her ribbons to move within Homura’s time stop during a sparring match, praising her rapid progress afterward. Homura agrees to return to Mitakihara with Mami, reflecting that she will keep moving forward to become a magical girl capable of protecting Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Sayaka arrives in Kamihama City to go shopping with Kyosuke Kamijou, though she insists it is not a date. When she hears a scream, she runs toward it and discovers Hinano Miyako at an empty elementary school. Hinano explains she was bumped on the head while setting up the chemistry lab, and Sayaka decides to help investigate. They find the culprit was a baseball that flew through the window from the baseball club practicing outside. Hinano returns the ball to a child and gives Sayaka a perfume she made, wishing her good luck on her date despite Sayaka&#039;s protests.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later in the shopping district, Emiri Kisaki approaches Sayaka, drawn by the perfume. After realizing Sayaka is not Hinano, Emiri offers to coordinate her wardrobe, claiming to be the &amp;quot;Cutest in the World.&amp;quot; Sayaka learns Emiri is also a magical girl but remains unsatisfied with the outfit suggestions, explaining the person she likes does not care about appearances. Emiri takes her to the top of a tower, where they view the city at night. Sayaka thanks her before heading to the train station, reflecting that her love is supported by the magical girls of Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the outing with Kyosuke arrives. After buying a CD, Kyosuke messages that his train is delayed. Sayaka fights a Witch she senses and meets Kokoro Awane, defeating it together. With time to spare, Kokoro invites her for tea. Sayaka shares that she became a magical girl to heal someone she loves, and Kokoro reveals she wished to bring her family together. Though problems remain, Kokoro believes she can unite them through her own power, and Sayaka finds strength in her words. When Kyosuke is about to arrive, Kokoro encourages her, and Sayaka runs to the station, feeling it will be a good day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day in Kamihama, Mami saves Kanoko Yayoi from familiars, and Kanoko explains her dream is to become a fashion designer.

They spend the day shopping and at an arcade, and Mami admits she has not enjoyed herself like this in a while. Rika reminds Mami of Kyoko Sakura, and Mami reflects on her friendships in Mitakihara.

* On another day, after Mami fights off familiars, Nanaka Tokiwa confronts her, having heard rumors about the strongest Magical Girl from Mitakihara. Nanaka wants to team up or fight her, and Akira Shinobu arrives, also eager to challenge Mami based on exaggerated rumors. Mami agrees to fight them on one condition: they have tea with her first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Ultimate&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart. She also finds Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, who were never supposed to become magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Panicking because she cannot prevent magical girls from becoming witches in this universe, Madoka investigates. She discovers the source blocking her intervention originated when the Holy Quintet first visited Kamihama, and she observes how Touka and Nemu—fated to die in every other universe—are alive and plotting with the Magius to lure Walpurgis Night to hatch Eve. Madoka reflects that their plan, if successful, would achieve what she herself accomplished. Unsure whether to intervene, she decides to investigate further and chooses Iroha as her next focal point, since this is the only universe where Iroha contracted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka observes Iroha’s past and finds the singular difference: on a normal day, Iroha took her usual shortcut but accidentally kicked a small pebble, nearly making her late. This tiny butterfly effect led to Iroha contracting and Ui, Nemu, and Touka surviving, derailing the universe’s fate. Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka decides not to interfere, fearing a clash that could destroy the universe. However, she laments that she may have no choice but to trample Iroha’s wish if this universe, now a singularity, threatens the stability of all other universes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She uses Yuma Chitose as a distraction to keep Kyubey away from Madoka, then later convinces Yuma to contract by claiming Kyoko is in danger. Oriko also recruits Kirika Kure as her pawn. When Kirika kills another magical girl, Oriko decides to use the murders to further distract Kyubey from Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Oriko Mikuni in Magia Record#Side Story|Oriko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Oriko has another vision revealing that Madoka is not in Mitakihara but somewhere else entirely. She witnesses a spatial distortion connecting Mitakihara to Kamihama City and begins to suspect Kamihama might hold the key to changing the future. Oriko sends Kirika to Kamihama under the pretense of buying tea, instructing her to gather information from Mami and other magical girls there. She then takes Yuma to Kamihama herself, leaving her inside a witch barrier knowing Kyoko will come to rescue her. While exploring Kamihama for answers, Oriko nearly dies inside a powerful witch barrier and realizes she needs Kirika&#039;s help to continue. Kirika eventually returns home safely, reporting that Mami and Kyoko are also investigating Kamihama and that the city has an unusually high number of witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kyoko accidentally destroys her shopping bag, enraging Kirika. Shizuku Hozumi intervenes, allowing Mami and Kyoko to escape through a portal.

They try filming again with a script, but the takes go poorly—Yachiyo overthinks her cooking scene, Felicia struggles to tutor Ui, and Tsuruno is late. Ui suggests they abandon the script and just be themselves. They record a video of their daily life together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the video, Iroha and Ui perform a shrine maiden&#039;s dance they learned from helping at a shrine over New Year&#039;s. They tell their parents not to worry and wish them luck with work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s parents watch the video overseas. They are moved by seeing their daughters having so much fun. The father decides they will return to Japan this year to see their daughters in person. Iroha hopes her mother can see their shrine maiden dance next year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* After Mitakihara City’s school closing ceremony, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura walk out together. Sayaka is glad the term is over, Madoka is excited, and Homura admits she will feel lonely without seeing them every day. Sayaka ruffles her hair and says they can still meet over break, whether hunting witches or hanging out. Madoka suggests visiting Mizuna Shrine in Kamihama for New Year’s to draw “Ultimate Fortunes.” Sayaka has other plans but encourages them to go together. After she leaves, Madoka asks Homura if she knows how to put on formal wear. Homura does not, so Madoka invites her to a kimono‑dressing class she found, saying she wanted the two of them to dress up with Sayaka but lacked the courage to go alone. Homura agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class, the instructor dresses them first; Madoka thinks Homura looks beautiful, and Homura calls Madoka cute. When the actual lesson begins, Madoka struggles badly and trips, while Homura learns quickly enough that the instructor says she will have no trouble. Madoka takes a break outside, feeling useless. Sayaka happens by and asks why she wanted to dress up in the first place - to have fun. Sayaka tells her not to overthink; even if she makes mistakes, she will still have the memories. Encouraged, Madoka returns and finally manages to dress herself after another trip.&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year’s Day, both have their formal wear put on at a store. They joke that the class was interesting but not very useful for the real occasion. They take lots of pictures to show Sayaka, then wish each other a happy new year and go to Mizuna Shrine to draw fortunes. Madoka hopes everyone has a lucky year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka find themselves trapped in a strange dream—a life-sized board game set across Kamihama City. They must reach the goal by following the game&#039;s rules. There are no Familiars or attempts to harm them, so Homura suspects it is accidental mischief rather than a trap. They roll dice to move between squares and complete missions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Kimono)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;First Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They arrive at a shopping center. The mission is to deliver lost items from the New Year&#039;s sale to the Information Desk. They meet Aimi, who found a plain notebook with no name. Aimi worries it is someone&#039;s secret fantasy diary and does not want to read it. They take it to the Information Desk and complete the mission. Aimi mentions she is shopping for materials to knit a scarf or gloves for a boy named Hayato.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** They roll again and move to a new square. The mission is to reunite two sisters who failed to meet. They find Tsukasa waiting for her twin Tsukuyo. Tsukuyo forgot her phone and cannot remember the meeting spot. Madoka and Homura offer to find Tsukuyo. They find her, but Tsukasa has wandered off while waiting. The sisters fail to meet, and Homura and Madoka lose three turns. They eventually reach the Mizuna Shrine goal, but the game says they have not met the goal conditions and sends them back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Second Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They are back at the beginning, wearing their kimonos. They see their past selves from the first loop. The same mission appears—reunite the twins. They meet Tsukasa again, who remembers them from before and is confused by their kimono change. Madoka tells Tsukasa where Tsukuyo is, but Tsukasa runs off before Madoka can explain she should wait. They try to find Tsukasa but fail. The mission fails again, and they are sent back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Third Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes: buy a lucky bag costing one million Magica. They search for a store and take a break at a cafe. They see Ria being interviewed and overhear a boy named Hayato saying he needs a warmer scarf. They find Kokoro and Masara, who lead them to a stationery lucky bag. Kokoro mentions Tsukasa is still looking for Tsukuyo. Madoka wants to help Tsukasa, and Homura agrees. They find Tsukuyo, who has been wandering and dropped something important. They learn Tsukuyo dropped her exchange diary with Tsukasa—the same notebook Aimi found. The mission completes, but they are sent back to the start again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes again: help a child who lost something. They find Tsukuyo waiting. She dropped the exchange diary. Homura and Madoka take her to the Information Desk to reclaim it. Madoka remembers Tsukasa was last seen near a specific area. They wait there and finally reunite the twins. They also tell Aimi that Hayato wants a warm scarf. Everyone ends up happy. Homura and Madoka reach the goal without regrets. Homura reflects that she does not want the dream to last longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka learns the meaning of &amp;quot;When winter comes, spring isn&#039;t far behind&amp;quot; at the end of December. Just before New Year&#039;s Eve, Madoka asks if anyone has plans for the holiday. Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko and Nagisa meet the teacher and children at the park. The kids immediately recognize Kyoko, so the pair double down on the movie lie. The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the performance, Kyoko and Sayaka use quick‑change costumes while Nagisa sneaks discarded clothes off set. The children are awed by the glowing weapons and effects, explained with lighting tricks and soap bubbles. After the class leaves, the group reviews the footage and decides to keep a copy. Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko returns the props to Sayuki, then visits an aquarium to pass time. As she leaves, she spots the same kindergarteners, detects a witch, and rushes to fight it. She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She is hunting for discounted Valentine&#039;s chocolate. She visits Sugar Plum but finds the chocolate coins sold out. She runs into Kyoko. They keep encountering each other at multiple stores and realize they are both after the same Valentine&#039;s Day exclusive Pink Tapir chocolate coins. They form an alliance to share information and split the chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe (Valentine)#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Valentine Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Pink Tapir station store, a clerk informs them the sale has moved to a new outlet location and gives them a map. On the way, a delivery truck carrying the chocolate coins is possessed by a Witch&#039;s Kiss and goes on a rampage. Nagisa and Kyoko chase it, jump onto the truck, and enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Nagisa uses her forbidden technique to defeat the Witch. The truck and other vehicles are unharmed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the outlet store and buy the chocolate coins. Nagisa reflects on her memory of eating Pink Tapir chocolate coins for the first time at a hospital charity event when her mother was sick. She wonders if this universe&#039;s Nagisa would have had the same experience. She and Kyoko hurry to Mami&#039;s chocolate party. Kyoko reveals she bought a chocolate cake from Sugar Plum for everyone. Nagisa shares her pink chocolate coins. Mami is happy they are getting along. The next day, the chocolate hunt continues. At the outlet store, Ms. Saotome buys chocolate coins for a hospital charity event, continuing the tradition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Ria, Mayu, and Manaka give the sisters their rented beach space, and the sisters end up spending the day with Team Yachiyo in a water pistol shooting match. They have more fun than they expected, but Tsukuyo suffers a heat stroke and is cared for by the group after Tsukasa panics. When Tsukasa tries to repay the favor, Yachiyo jokes that she should quit the Wings of Magius, then smiles when Tsukasa refuses as expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Their final opponents are Miyako, Kokoro, Masara, and Ren, with Ren proving surprisingly athletic. Miyako’s team wins after Yachiyo avoids stepping on a rare hermit crab, but everyone agrees Tsukasa has repaid her debt, and the sisters admit they had a wonderful time. They end the day drinking juice Yachiyo bought for them and buying matching crescent moon accessories in different colors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

They plan to tell the story of Mitama’s deserted island ordeal while Momoko adds her side of worrying. While playing, they fight a Witch together—the first time Mitama has teamed up with someone—then run straight into Rena, Kaede, and Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They win by performing the events of the day instead of their planned story. Rena claims the stuffed bunny, and Mikage gets the Candy World tickets, immediately inviting Mitama. Apologies are exchanged, and the others ask for no more secrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, while Mitama and Momoko clean up, Rena and Kaede take Mikage to get drinks. A girl from Mitama’s past confronts her: the one Mitama accidentally shoved down the stairs years ago. A crowd gathers, muttering rumors, but Momoko defends Mitama and the crowd disperses. The girl realizes it was an accident and offers to help clear Mitama’s name, but Mitama declines, saying she no longer needs it because she has someone who believes in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka arrives at a resort with her friends, carrying her mother’s challenge to do something she can only do now. After rescuing an old woman’s hat from the sea, she learns the hat was a gift from the woman’s daughter, Himari.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group spends the day swimming, building a sandcastle, and splitting into smaller activities. While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The girls complete the rally together, with the final photo taken at a sunflower field. That evening, a storm cancels the flower tour, but the photographer invites them to meet the next morning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the photographer leads them to a hidden pond where barringtonia blossoms float. She reveals this was the special place she and Himari had planned to visit. Madoka recognizes Himari’s name and, with her friends’ help, finds the old woman from the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The old woman and the photographer meet; the photographer confesses her guilt over their childhood fight, but the woman explains Himari never mentioned any quarrel—her illness suddenly worsened that day. The two women reconcile, and both thank Madoka for bringing them together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond. Madoka reflects that the thing she could only do here was to reunite the two women and give them peace. Her friends call her for one last swim, and she runs off to join them, already thinking of returning to the island someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story and Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
It has two versions I made, assimilate them if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomuradsSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At registration, Mitama announces all participants must wear swimwear, offering to transform their outfits for free. Homura is surprisingly excited, and Sayaka gets roped into wearing a ridiculous mushroom‑mermaid costume designed by Kanoko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many familiar magical girls attend as participants or catering staff. Hazuki reveals her hatred of worms, Konoha faints from watching bait wriggle, and various mishaps begin piling up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka in her costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The non‑waterproof suit causes Sayaka to be electrocuted by its built‑in fan, but her Doppel activates and saves her. The Doppel drags Yachiyo into the water, and Yachiyo begins water‑skiing using her fishing rod while being pulled around.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura manages to fish up the Doppel and wins the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other&#039;s backs. Homura happily agrees, ending the day on a warm note.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Homura confronts her Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying summer and relying on Madoka’s kindness. The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurads&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura visit a seaside villa on the outskirts of Kamihama. They meet Felicia and her friends briefly. After parting ways, they decide to visit an aquarium. They participate in an accessory-making workshop using star sand. Inside the aquarium, they meet Ashley, an exchange student from the United States, and Riko. Ashley recognizes them as Magical Girls from Mitakihara because she encountered their copies in Endless Mirrors. They chat and learn Ashley is making videos about kawaii things in Japan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Waverider)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After parting ways with Ashley and Riko, Sayaka wants to visit a CD store. She hopes to find rare CDs for Kyosuke. At the store, she reaches for the same CD as a woman. They discover they both use notepads to track CDs. The woman is Takamine&#039;s wife—Takamine was a violinist who passed away. She collects his recordings to show her daughter. They exchange contact information. Sayaka mentions the upcoming flea market.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They eat lunch and shaved ice. Ashley records their conversation. Madoka and Homura leave early for Witch patrol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka&#039;s group meets Takamine&#039;s wife and daughter. A strong wind blows the daughter&#039;s hat into the ocean. Sayaka and Kyoko transform into swimsuits and ride a surfboard to retrieve it, using Nagisa&#039;s floaty as a distraction. The hat is recovered. Takamine&#039;s wife realizes she lost her notepad. Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while waiting, Nagisa and Riko play with water guns. Sayaka&#039;s group relaxes on the beach. Madoka and Homura find Sayaka&#039;s copy in Mirrors. The copy lures them into a trap, but they manage to get the CD list from her and escape. They send it to Sayaka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring. They plan for future fights: Sayaka will handle Familiars, Madoka and Homura will immobilize the Witch, and Mami will finish it off. Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The group swims, then Kyoko dominates the buffet. They discover a cliff diving spot, where Sayaka, Mami, and Kyoko take turns jumping while Madoka and Homura watch. They agree to return the day after next, since Madoka is busy the following day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ui improves, but a rip current nearly sweeps her away; Kyoko rescues her. Moved by Ui’s determination, Kyoko keeps training her until sunset, and Ui finally masters swimming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully. Later, Kyoko visits Mitama to revert her outfit, explaining she wants to learn swimming properly rather than relying on magic. She trades a Grief Seed for money to buy ramune as payment for a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Eternal Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;

===Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Momoko Togame (Sanctified)#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi meet again. Mitama shares her realization: her grief has ended. She now wants to make amends and carve a new future for Kamihama. They discuss ideas for the student conference. Kanagi suggests a sports festival. Mitama suggests a festival with food stalls. They joke about romance and love interests. Mitama feels lighter and ready to move forward. She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at the Wings of Magius, Alina asks Nemu to create a rumor for her. She will let it grow, then take it into herself and use it to achieve her greatest goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Touka and Nemu separately sneak to Ui’s room to leave apology notes. They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They first visit Mitama’s shop, where they meet Maria and Konomi. Mikage hands out sweets, crediting Lavi’s teaching, and Mitama permits them to visit the Mikazuki girls after receiving a cake. At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the real world, Tsuruno gives gelato to Ui and Felicia. Ui is absorbed in playing a game called &amp;quot;Little Vacation&amp;quot; on Tsuruno&#039;s phone. The game follows Tsuruno and Felicia as Reindeer Santas traveling to reach the End of the World and the Wishing Star.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia (Special Delivery)#Side Story|Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno uses the Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a hint: &amp;quot;The key is something you don&#039;t know the importance of until it&#039;s gone. This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They leave, having failed to deliver smiles for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Town of Miraculous ☆ Prestidigitations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the next town. They meet Mitama, a magician performing tricks, and twins Rion and Hotori. Mitama attempts to teleport Hotori but accidentally duplicates her. There are now two Hotoris. Tsuruno and Felicia try to help. The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win. The duplicates are left behind. The single Tsuruno who lost is left alone without Reindeer-san #2 or the Okamochi Box. She decides to continue traveling anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They realize &amp;quot;three heads are better than one&amp;quot; refers to them working together to solve the Maze Town puzzle.

*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game.

===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents. Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia return home and ask to hear the full story, so Yachiyo retrieves the scarf from the time capsule where she had hidden it years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Check on the days again to make sure how many days pass. It&#039;s possible it&#039;s all just one day&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami finds herself in a strange white fog, speaking with two other versions of herself. Holy Mami claims she has learned the truth about magical girls from Alina Gray and Touka Satomi and has found a way to save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami has tea with Touka and Alina at a house rented for her by Touka. Mami explains she has not returned to Mitakihara because her priority is releasing magical girls. Touka and Alina offer to lecture her on what she needs to study. Alina grows disturbingly excited discussing van Gogh&#039;s Sunflowers, and Touka lectures at length on mathematics until Alina interrupts. Mami reassures them she will ask for help when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina receives a call from the Amane sisters requesting help with a Witch. Touka asks Mami to assist, explaining she has a lecture to give at noon to recruit skilled magical girls. Mami agrees, reflecting that releasing magical girls requires Grief Seeds, protecting Rumors, and raising Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane waiting for her. They explain the Witch has moved and the Black Feathers are monitoring it. A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren plan for their friends’ Christmas party a week away and promise to spend Christmas Eve together. While looking at options in a magazine, they cannot decide on a place. Ren buys the magazine to think it over, privately hoping to choose somewhere that will make Rika happy, though she doubts whether she truly belongs beside her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ren visits Emiri’s consultation room but finds only Akira and Ria Ami. She explains her dilemma, and Ria takes her around town to evaluate possible locations. They rule out a restaurant, an amusement park, and a romantic cafe, eventually settling on the Minagi Aquarium. Ria is surprised to learn Ren is planning an outing with Rika, not a boyfriend, but Ren leaves feeling confident in her choice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Christmas Eve, Rika attends a party with her school friends. When she mentions she will spend Christmas Eve at the aquarium with a friend, her friends press to join, but Rika refuses. She advises them not to look for boyfriends just to avoid being alone. Later, while walking with her friends, Rika spots Ren chasing after Aimi Eri. She follows and finds Ren comforting Aimi over a misunderstanding involving a boy; the situation resolves without trouble.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Ren waits for Rika, who messages that she overslept with a fever. Ren worries Rika became sick chasing after her the day before. Before she can reply, Aimi finds her, and they go shopping together. Aimi encourages Ren to visit Rika instead of staying apart. Ren goes to Rika’s house, knocks on her window, and insists they spend Christmas together there so Rika can rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They exchange gifts: Ren gives Rika scented candles, having noticed Rika’s interest from a sticky note, and Rika gives Ren a glass candlestick. Rika hopes they can visit the aquarium another time, and Ren leaves happy to have shared Christmas with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, assimilate them if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumor Tsuruno begins designing the park, adding a merry-go-round, roller coaster, spa, shops, and a cafe. The mascots warn that once the park is complete, she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world. Rumor Tsuruno claims no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she imagines comfort foods with hot pot as the main star, she is reminded of Mikazuki Villa. She brushes it off and completes the park. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Uwasa Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana looks at a Mr. Purrs-a-lot picture book and feels down. Ui notices and asks what is wrong. Sana admits she wants to become a picture book author to help people who are suffering like she once was. She has many ideas but does not know how to write them. Ui encourages her. Sana says she is starting from zero and needs to practice writing. Ui suggests she settle on one main idea. Sana recalls a story about the Rice God from Yachiyo and decides to write a practice story about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana writes a story about the Rice God punishing Felicia for not finishing her rice. Ui enjoys it. Sana realizes she also needs to entertain readers while conveying her message. She decides her first picture book theme will be &amp;quot;friends.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana and Ui discuss the main character. Sana models her after Ai, the Uwasa of the Anonymous A.I. She names the heroine Aoi. Sana writes the first part of the story: Aoi leaves the &amp;quot;Land of Beginnings&amp;quot; and arrives at the &amp;quot;Land of Blessings,&amp;quot; where residents constantly fight. Aoi suggests a picnic to help them understand each other. The residents grow closer. Ui enjoys the story. Sana reveals she wants to leave behind proof of Ai&#039;s existence before she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana asks Nemu for permission to use a character modelled after Ai in her picture book. Nemu agrees, saying she is happy Sana wishes to preserve Ai. Nemu advises Sana on how to become a published author: enter contests or approach publishers directly. Sana becomes discouraged when she realizes she would have to interact with people who cannot see her. She leaves feeling hopeless.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana wanders alone, feeling invisible. She helps a girl find a lost ring but is not noticed. She thinks her dream is impossible. Tsuruno, Felicia, and Ui find her, worried because she was not answering calls. Iroha and Yachiyo also arrive. Nemu calls and suggests Sana could use an agent to communicate with publishers, avoiding direct meetings. Sana regains her resolve. Yachiyo tells her not to give up on her dream. Iroha and the others promise to support her. Sana realizes she has a family to help her get back up.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana finishes her first picture book, &amp;quot;A Small Encounter.&amp;quot; The story follows Shana, an invisible girl who is found by Aoi and makes her first friend. Sana decides to show it to everyone and get their thoughts. She promises to keep persevering for Ai&#039;s sake and for everyone who supports her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 1 (Flashback/Reflection)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi wakes from a nap and remembers the dream she had when fused with the Kimochi. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words that helped her realize she had not truly given up. Iroha told her that those who have given up do not fight, and that Lavi came to Kamihama because she still wanted to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro (Kimochi)#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects on the hope she once held—a daydream of a peaceful life where magical girls are understood. In that dream, she helped her mother, tended fields with her grandfather, watched Urara&#039;s street performances, and attended exhibitions with Shirogane. She encountered other magical girls: Asahi, Haitani, Kuroda, Urara, and Alexandra. They fought witches together and enjoyed everyday moments. Lavi realized she had locked away this hope because remembering it was painful. But now, through her connection with Iroha and her time with Nayuta, she has begun to see the future again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 2 (Daydream/Desired Future)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi dreams of a happy future where the Automatic Purification System has spread and peace has come. She, Nayuta, and Mikage go on a trip to Yukuni. They encounter many acquaintances: Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and Mikazuki Villa. Due to a scheduling mistake, everyone arrives at the same inn on the same day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** There is not enough premium beef for dinner. The groups compete in hot spring table tennis, karaoke, and pillow fights to decide who gets the meat. Yuna cheats in table tennis and is disqualified.

&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane complain about being overworked as guardians of a Rumor and fear the anger of Touka, Alina, and Nemu. They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - A Taste of Hospitality|A Taste of Hospitality]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko and Ashley help Mitama film a video about her Coordinator services, whre she explains that she adjusts Soul Gems to draw out hidden potential, that she sees memories during adjustments but keeps them confidential, and that she also sells items for Magical Girls. As payment for the video, Riko gives Mitama an origami dog (Mameji) and Ashley gives her blue candy from her home, both of which Mitama puts in a box.&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, Mitama receives many gifts from Magical Girls, including Kokoro, Reira, Mito, Felicia, Ayame, Kako, Yachiyo, Karin, Himika, Rika and Emiri, the last of whom says that when people share their favorite things, it means they want to share what they love with Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama hums happily, which Momoko and Kanagi notice and feel a bad omen. Mitama announces that she wants to share what she loves with everyone and that she plans a party with food that she will cook. She asks Momoko and Kanagi to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin|Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One winter’s day before Christmas, Rika and Ren go shopping together. The town has no Christmas decorations and people seem depressed. They hear a distressed voice and find Mitama, wearing a Santa&#039;s beard and hat, and she introduces herself as a Christmas Spirit. Mitama says her job is to make everyone happy, but the task is too big. She gives Rika and Ren some of her magic, explaining that the magic requires them to be perfectly attuned to each other, and then she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, a swallow Familiar appears, claiming to be Mitama’s pupil and Rika names him Chirpie. Chirpie explains that Mitama saved him when he fell from his nest and gave him magic. He can sense cowardly hearts lacking courage and Rika and Ren must drive out ten cowardly hearts to make the town happy. Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chirpie leads them to Felicia and Sana, who had accidentally smashed a cake and are now arguing about who should apologize to Yachiyo. Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 13th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mitama is away from her shop, but Tsuruno is there, using the kitchen to make chocolate bonbons with a friend. She plans to surprise everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 14th:&#039;&#039;&#039; On Valentine&#039;s Day, Tsuruno gives beautifully wrapped chocolates to Iroha, Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana and Ui at Mikazuki Villa. Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rise of the Waning Moon===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Rise of the Waning Moon|Rise of the Waning Moon]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day during lunch break, Kanagi goes to Himika’s classroom, telling her she just wanted to see her face, which Himika finds strange.&lt;br /&gt;
** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

* Hinano and Emiri attend a chemistry event. Hinano is excited to see a chemist who reminds her of the woman she idolized as a child—a tall, long-legged lady who taught fun chemistry experiments. Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;

The relative needs help cleaning the hotel pool because the usual staff are sick. Yachiyo hesitates due to her modeling schedule. The girls offer to help. Yachiyo calls back and confirms they will come.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group arrives at the hotel and Yachiyo&#039;s relative, an older woman, greets them warmly. She says she used to hang out with Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river. Tsuruno and Felicia compete to see who can clean faster, inventing names for their techniques. Yachiyo scolds them for being inefficient. They eventually work together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha slips and falls but is not hurt. Felicia sprays Yachiyo with the hose and Yachiyo chases her. After a few hours, they finish cleaning. The relative rewards them with fluffy shaved ice.&lt;br /&gt;
** The pool is now clean and filled with water. The girls swim and play. Tsuruno and Felicia bring water guns and spray Yachiyo. Yachiyo chases them and gets out of the pool to walk upstream, eventually catching them. They all have fun.&lt;br /&gt;

Tsuruno volunteers the group to help until the staff arrives. Yachiyo worries they might cause trouble, but Iroha, Ui, and Sana want to try. They agree to help. Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the next day, the group arrives at the pool for opening day. Yachiyo handles reception. The ticket scanner malfunctions and a line forms. Mitama appears—she had plans with Iroha that were canceled. She offers to help and fixes the scanner by hitting it. The staff member returns and takes over.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama notices Yachiyo has something on her mind and suggests she talk to someone she trusts. Iroha later asks Yachiyo to help with a crowded lunch area. Ui is taking orders with Sana&#039;s invisible help making drinks.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral. Yachiyo admits she was worried about everyone but sees they are doing fine. Iroha tells Yachiyo it is okay to worry because she cares, and they can solve problems together. Iroha notices Yachiyo has been down and offers to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
** A foam machine malfunctions, spewing foam everywhere. A guest slips and falls. The group splits up to clean the foam and help guests. Mitama fixes the machine with a whack. The support staff arrives. The girls finally have time to enjoy the pool.&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models. She does not know what to post and is shy about taking selfies. Iroha suggests posting photos of herself and takes pictures of Yachiyo on a float with the sunset. Yachiyo is embarrassed but agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Tsuruno want a turn on the float. Everyone climbs on, and Mitama takes a group photo just as they all fall into the water. Iroha loves the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the pool photos are popular online. Yachiyo&#039;s manager says going to the pool was a good move. Yachiyo thanks Iroha and says she might take her up on being her photographer again. She sends the group photo to everyone. Iroha says the photo may not be &amp;quot;social media-worthy&amp;quot; but it captures who they are. They agree to go back to the pool again—summer is just getting started.&lt;br /&gt;

They became close and talked openly with each other for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo too formal and uptight, while Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukuyo was devastated.

She shares the full ending of the story they studied—the couple takes their own lives because they fear their love will fade. Tsukasa suggests they do the same. Tsukuyo is horrified but realizes they have no other way out.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night they decide to die, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa meet at the shrine. They decide to destroy their Soul Gems together. They hold hands and count to three. Mifuyu arrives in time to stop them.

&lt;br /&gt;
* Kako is 13 years old. Her parents run Natsume Books, a used bookstore. Books are a huge part of her life. One day, she sees Nanaka loitering by the mailbox, looking distressed. Nanaka drops a letter in the mailbox and runs off. She tells Kako to read the letter. Kako remembers the words &amp;quot;Kill her&amp;quot; and wonders why.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako recalls her past. Her family was not wealthy, but they were happy. Her father recommended books, and her mother helped her study. Then tragedy struck. A riot over land grabs broke out. Harassment of those who objected got worse. Discord grew within the community and even within their home. Her father was wound tight. Then their house was set on fire. Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
** She met a girl named &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; N told Kako who was responsible and what she needed to do to destroy them. Kako clung to her. She later learned N was manipulative and saw others as pawns. Kako hates N and wants revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found herself in a Labyrinth. Nanaka fought off Familiars but was overwhelmed. Kyubey offered Kako the chance to become a Magical Girl. Nanaka told Kako through telepathy to decide for herself what she wanted. Kako realized she hated feeling helpless. She wished to see her family smiling again and to get Natsume Books back. She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kako learned Nanaka faked her struggle to entrap her into making the wish. Nanaka had pulled this trick on others to use them as pawns. Kako could not forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako and Nanaka fought Witches together. Nanaka encouraged Kako and told her she was better suited to being a Magical Girl than Nanaka was. Kako wanted to get stronger. Nanaka wrote a letter confessing her deception and asking Kako to kill her. Kako made up her mind to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka. She returned it unopened, saying it seemed wrong to read something Nanaka only sent by accident. Nanaka smiled and said Kako was dazzling. She said she would try to tell Kako her feelings in person someday.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako thinks Nanaka overestimates her, but she is no longer as scared and helpless as she used to be. She is a Magical Girl who protects the city by Nanaka&#039;s side.&lt;br /&gt;

** Ayame and Kako meet in secret. They are friends but cannot openly hang out because their teams do not get along. Ayame complains about the situation. Kako shows her a book about ocean adventures. Ayame becomes curious about whether the ocean boils when the sun sets. They decide to go to the beach together to find out.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame and Kako take a train and a bus toward the beach. Ayame is excited. Konoha calls and texts repeatedly, but Ayame ignores her. They get off the bus when it breaks down and take a detour. They discover a field of sunflowers. They share cup noodles together. Ayame turns off her phone. Kako also ignores Nanaka&#039;s messages to focus on their adventure. They finally reach the beach and watch the sunset together. Ayame still cannot tell if the ocean boils, but she is happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback - Azalea House) Ayame dreams of the Director. She remembers the day Azalea House was going to be torn down. The Director had already passed away. Konoha, Hazuki, and Ayame met Kyubey and decided to become Magical Girls. Ayame wished for Azalea House to stay open forever. Konoha wished to eliminate all threats to it. They decided on a third wish: to have everyone at Azalea House forget they were ever there. They left the orphanage and started living together. Ayame remembers Konoha&#039;s promise that they would always be together. She reflects on her conflict with Konoha over her friendship with Kako. She wishes the Director could tell her what to do.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame wakes up at Kako&#039;s relatives&#039; house. Konoha has arrived. She found Ayame by asking Nanaka to track Kako&#039;s location. Ayame refuses to go home, saying Konoha has been stifling her. She promises to tell Konoha where she is next time. Konoha apologizes. She did not realize how her words were making Ayame feel. She promises to talk things through with Hazuki and Ayame. Kako is relieved. Ayame treasures the memory of her adventure. She promises never to forget it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Masara Kagami&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Flame Kindled in the Vastness===&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara Kagami reflects on her life. After becoming a Magical Girl, not much felt dramatically different. But encounters and experiences since have changed her. She thinks her dull and pointless life has just gotten a little more colorful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara finds the world boring. She is good at swimming but lacks passion. Kyubey appears and offers her any wish. She wishes for a load of money and becomes a Magical Girl. She fights Witches, and the excitement fades quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara meets Kokoro Awane in a Labyrinth. Kokoro is uncomfortable with Masara&#039;s reckless fighting and tells her to protect herself more. Masara says she does not care if she dies. Kokoro says her family would care. Masara questions why Kokoro blames herself for her family&#039;s problems. Kokoro asks if they can stick together. Masara agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a Witch hunt, they&#039;re attacked by a Witch and Masara takes a hit to protect Kokoro. She gets a scar. She starts avoiding Kokoro because she does not understand her feelings. Mitama explains that Masara fears seeing Kokoro get hurt, so she avoids her to prevent that pain. Masara realizes she fears losing Kokoro, so they reconcile.&lt;br /&gt;
* The swim club announces the relay team. Masara is chosen but declines, saying she is not good at team sports. Koshino, who has always been second to Masara, is chosen as her replacement. Koshino vows to beat Masara&#039;s record.&lt;br /&gt;
* While Kokoro and Masara go on patrol, they see Koshino training alone after school hours. Koshino tells Masara she beat her personal record. Masara is puzzled by Koshino&#039;s passion.&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Masara passes Koshino training again. They start talking about her times regularly. Kokoro notes that Koshino will never catch up to Masara&#039;s times. Masara wonders what drives Koshino.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days before the competition, Koshino beats Masara&#039;s record once. The swim club captain praises her. Masara feels something but cannot identify it. She is not annoyed. She does not know what she feels.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day before the competition, Koshino has an accident and cannot compete. Masara agrees to take her place. She is surprised by her own motivation. Kokoro notices the change.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the competition, Masara swims well. Her team finishes second, but she was in the lead when passing the baton. Koshino comes to watch and thanks Masara for doing the race for her. Kokoro says Masara has changed. Masara decides she wants to keep swimming a while longer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika Ayano&#039;s Heartphial Story: Haunting Love, Haunting Mistake===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika Ayano reflects on her life. She does not want to feel like she became a Magical Girl for nothing. She got to see what dating is like and made loads of friends. But sins do not wash away so easily. That is the price you pay for a miracle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback, but the entirety seems like mostly a flashback) Kyubey offers Rika any wish in exchange for becoming a Magical Girl. Hinano warns her not to do it, but Rika ignores the advice. She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Riko Chiaki&#039;s Heartphial Story: Worked Out with a Woof===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki reflects on her life. Even though her mom and dad were hardly home because of work, she never felt lonely as long as Miss K was around. She cared about her so much that she just wanted to help her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback) Riko helps out at her parents&#039; bento store. She is close with Miss K, the daughter of the hardware store owner next door. Miss K has always been like a big sister to her. Miss K cries to Riko that her father opposes her marriage because he does not want her to move far away. Riko wishes to Kyubey for Miss K&#039;s marriage to be accepted. She becomes a Magical Girl. Miss K gets married and moves away. Riko misses her but does not regret her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Riko goes filming with Ashley. She tells Ashley about Miss K. She explains that Miss K&#039;s father never fully accepted the marriage, and they have not made up. Riko receives a message from Miss K saying she was in the hospital because she was pregnant. She invites Riko to visit her new house. Riko goes and meets the baby. Miss K asks Riko to be friends with her child. Riko becomes like a big sister to the baby. She feels happy that her wish came true but is sad Miss K and her father never reconciled.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko walks Mameji and sees Miss K&#039;s father standing outside the hardware store, looking sad. She wonders what is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley advises Riko to ask Miss K directly if she wants to make up with her father. Riko texts Miss K and asks to meet. Miss K replies that she will come to Riko&#039;s town instead. Riko is excited.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Miss K visits Riko. They talk about her father. Miss K says she wants to make up with him but does not know how. Riko suggests inviting him to meet the baby, giving him a present, or going on a family trip. Miss K doubts any of it will work. They walk to Riko&#039;s store together. They encounter Miss K&#039;s father outside. Riko admits she asked Miss K to come so they could patch things up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Miss K&#039;s father reveals he brought a herbarium to Riko&#039;s store. It was originally meant as a gift for his grandchild, but he could not bring himself to deliver it. Riko realizes Mameji had been guiding her this whole time. Earlier, Mameji had barked at the cake that turned out to be from Miss K&#039;s father. Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky. She realizes she is dying, having protected Yachiyo. She remembers how everyone was fighting for dear life. She wished she were stronger to help them. She is sorry for not being stronger. She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ashley Taylor&#039;s Heartphial Story: Can&#039;t Be Myself Without What I Love===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley Taylor reflects on her life. Studying in Japan is awesome fun. She wants to find more kawaii for her vlog viewers back home and asks her father to watch over her while she pursues her passions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley vlogs with Riko&#039;s help. She films herself shopping for Magical Kirin merch and gurokawa items. After editing and uploading the video, she replies to comments from her followers. She thinks about her father and hopes he is watching.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley remembers the day she wanted to study abroad in Japan. Her father refused without giving a clear reason, which was unusual. Kyubey appeared and offered to grant any wish. Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko notices Ashley seems down. She worries Ashley is overworking herself by vlogging daily and replying to comments late at night. Ashley says it does not feel like work because she loves it. She thanks Riko for being a kind friend. They go out to film another vlog.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley continues vlogging daily. She worries about skipping a day because her followers might unfollow her. She wakes up to find Kumanosuke missing. She panics, feeling like her world is ending. Riko arrives with a bento and finds Ashley crying. Ashley explains she lost Kumanosuke. Riko comforts her and says it is okay to skip a vlog. Ashley admits she has been using followers&#039; comments to fill the hole left by her father&#039;s death. Riko says she understands loss—she misses her sister who moved far away. They decide to search for Kumanosuke.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko suggests Ashley ask her followers for help finding Kumanosuke. During a live stream, a commenter suggests rewatching her previous vlog. Ashley realizes she left Kumanosuke on a chair when she got distracted by a crane machine. They find Kumanosuke on a shelf at the store, dressed in Waloli Gurokawa clothes. Ashley gets him back. She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

The books are Hachslingen&#039;s &amp;quot;General Theory of the Origin of the Universe,&amp;quot; Cosinberg&#039;s &amp;quot;Celestial Forces,&amp;quot; and Dadatri&#039;s &amp;quot;Glimmer of the Planet.&amp;quot; She claims no one will hand them over.

===Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call|Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wait, You Got It Wrong!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayu Kozue&#039;s most treasured possession is a bear pendant her father carved for her before he died. When a hand-drawn postcard is stolen from the museum where she works, security footage shows her friend Ria at the scene moments later. Mayu cannot reach Ria and suspects a Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~|Wait, You Got It Wrong! / Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While searching for Ria, Mayu encounters Asuka Tatsuki, whose family&#039;s invaluable book of secrets was also stolen. A witness described a blonde girl in a Mizuna uniform—Ria. They find Sayuki Fumino crying over her stolen sword book, then Rena Minami who was bumped by the same girl. At Walnut&#039;s restaurant, Manaka Kurumi accuses Ria of stealing a rice omelet. A Witch barrier appears, and after Mayu and Asuka defeat the Familiars, Ria arrives demanding to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka challenges Ria to a duel over the thefts, and Ria loses. She confesses to something embarrassing, and everyone assumes she means the thefts—but she meant a binder of idol clippings she desperately hopes no one saw. She was only chasing the Witch to recover her own stolen belongings. Relieved, Mayu and Asuka join her. They track and defeat the Witch, recovering most items, but the museum postcard, the dojo book, and Ria&#039;s binder remain missing. They agree to search again tomorrow. That night, Mayu dreams of her father, who tells her material things are destined to break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, thefts continue across the city. Mayu realizes the Witch they defeated was only a Familiar and the real Witch is still out there. She offers her precious pendant as bait to track it. Despite Ria&#039;s protests, Mayu uses it, and they follow the magic trail to the Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After a difficult battle, they recover all stolen items, though Mayu&#039;s pendant is scratched and its chain broken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu is unbothered. She explains that material possessions naturally break, but the memories they hold remain in her heart—a lesson from her father. Asuka and Ria are moved, and Mayu turns to walk home, promptly falls into a lake, and flounders while Ria sighs that she has not changed at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor she calls Miss K. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Miss K with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Miss K&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Miss K to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

===&amp;quot;Let&#039;s hit the Suitoku baths! (Music Collection 1 bonus drama)&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo, Iroha, and Sana prepare a meal. Felicia reluctantly helps. Tsuruno arrives with a flyer for Suitokuyu, a public bathhouse holding an event as part of a shopping district revitalization plan. She invites everyone to go together. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the bathhouse, they read the posted rules. Tsuruno pretends to be a &amp;quot;bathhouse master&amp;quot; and teaches them. Sana becomes embarrassed about being naked in front of everyone. Yachiyo understands her feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Villa. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;
~A Little Break For Us~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===This is The Warmest Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha is going about her day when Sana, Felicia, and Ui present her with a pinwheel and ask her to blow on it. Though confused by their strange behavior, Iroha does as they ask and the girls thank her before quickly scampering off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~#This Is The Warmest Day Login Special|This is The Warmest Day]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts. When Yachiyo asks Iroha&#039;s opinion, Iroha expresses her love for shortcake and suggests they bake one immediately, but Yachiyo insists she wait for the right moment, which will come sooner than she thinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Lavi is shopping when Nayuta finds her to share news about her math test score. They return home where Lavi prepares dinner, and Nayuta discovers Lavi earned perfect scores in every subject, highlighting the gap between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House|The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day while Lavi runs errands, Nayuta confides in Mikage about her fears that Lavi only respects her father and secretly resents serving her. Seeking answers, Nayuta visits Mitama, who suggests that kindness and broad-mindedness are the traits she needs to develop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Nayuta observes how hard Lavi works attending school, studying, handling housework, and fighting witches. Worried she might collapse, Nayuta offers Lavi time off for her upcoming sixteenth birthday and secretly plans a surprise party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later on Lavi&#039;s birthday, Nayuta and Mikage struggle through cleaning the house and preparing a celebration. Their efforts are interrupted when Lavi returns early for lunch, scolds them for the mess, but leaves again at Nayuta&#039;s insistence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Lavi returns that evening, the handmade kusudama falls onto the cake and catches fire. Lavi extinguishes it with water, and Nayuta is left mortified as her surprise party fails spectacularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Nayuta senses lingering coldness from Lavi and struggles to find the right way to apologize. Remembering her father&#039;s example, she decides to catch and cook a fish as an apology gift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day at a fishing center, Nayuta encounters girls from the Tokime clan who teach her how to gut fish. Despite being disturbed by the process, she perseveres and eventually catches the exact fish she wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning home late, Nayuta discovers a threatening letter addressed to Lavi and deduces it must be connected to the serious trouble from Lavi&#039;s hometown. She rushes to the market street with Mikage to protect her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the market street, Nayuta confronts the man speaking with Lavi, declaring herself as Satomi Tasuke&#039;s daughter to intimidate him. The man reveals he is simply a stalker with no connection to Lavi&#039;s past, and when he becomes agitated, Nayuta tackles him unconscious as a crowd applauds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Nayuta presents the cooked fish and apologizes. Lavi admits she was barely angry anymore and thanks Nayuta for protecting her, acknowledging she was just like her father in that moment. Nayuta produces a second kusudama and cake, and this time the celebration succeeds. As they pick confetti from the cake, Lavi quietly says she will continue to admire Nayuta until the final day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune. The Rumor says that if you receive the book and find a drawing of yourself, the sketched event will happen and if you try to stop it, a creature named Ketch drags you into the book. Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One summer morning, Mitama is at her shop and she has set up a small café corner called Hot☆Corner. The cat, Doyle, is especially attached to her lately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery|The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day|Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Rumored Temp Counselor===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

===Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away|Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

* The following day, Ryoko investigates and discovers Sakuya hid her own shoes and started the gossip to isolate herself. Sakuya confesses she killed her best friend in the war and must remain alone to avoid hurting anyone else. Ryoko declares she will save Sakuya by becoming her best friend, and they fight until exhausted. That night, Sakuya dreams of her deceased friend, who thanks her and tells her to move forward. She wakes to find Ryoko collapsed from hunger, and they talk for hours like ordinary friends. Though they agree they cannot meet again until the battles are over, they promise to become true friends then.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mikage wonders if she might become famous but worries about sketchy people, and Mitama jokingly offers to beat them up. Mikage asks if they can make real chocolate together, but Mitama needs to go to her coordinator shop. Mikage promises to do things that make her sister smile instead, and Mitama suggests they make Valentine&#039;s chocolate together next year.

After the meeting, Yuna confides in Hikaru that she feels guilty for not noticing everyone&#039;s exhaustion and decides to solve each person&#039;s problems personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend. Though relieved it&#039;s not her own love life, Yuna insists on helping anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s place, the group brainstorms confession advice. The conversation shifts when Ao receives a text from her parents—she&#039;s been lying to them about her late nights as a magical girl, claiming she&#039;s in an e-sports tournament. To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the online tournament, chaos ensues as Juri attacks teammates, Hikaru sets the kitchen on fire, and Yuna fails at selling merchandise. Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the student council meeting, Yuna honestly requests more time to handle personal matters, promising to dedicate herself fully afterward. The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka-senpai&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Day in the Life of Madoka-senpai===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

==Magia Record Events==&lt;br /&gt;
===See You Tomorrow===&lt;br /&gt;
* One morning at the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira greets an older neighbor who warns her about increasing danger in the area. Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them. The girl agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, finishing the final preparations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day of the school festival proceeds without major incident. Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, sampling food and enjoying the event. They take a photo together at the repaired arch—Tsumugi, Manaka, and the transfer student in her uniform. The transfer student reflects later that she will cherish the photo forever, grateful for the kindness she did not feel she deserved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Autumn of Reading===&lt;br /&gt;
This seems to have been an event without story. Needs to be re-checked.&lt;br /&gt;

** On set, Ria and Mayu are assisting with makeup and costumes. Yachiyo recognizes Ria, calls her by name, and praises her work, causing Ria to internally fangirl. Yachiyo grows anxious seeing so many Magical Girls gathered, recalling how a previous production with magical girls turned into a disaster. Tsuruno reassures her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wins over the production team with her exuberance. The play&#039;s co-star drops out, and the director asks Tsuruno to take the role. She eagerly accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a fairy tale about an ancient Mizuna legend. Two girls, Tsuyu and Chizuru, befriend each other despite their families&#039; rivalry and join forces to punish a selfish lord. Yachiyo plays Tsuyu, the ice queen with a heart of gold. Tsuruno plays Chizuru, the cheerful and impetuous girl. Sayuki plays the Magpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** During the script reading, everyone realizes Yachiyo&#039;s acting skills are still terrible.

Tsuruno promises to stay by her side.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria is in shock seeing her idol perform poorly. The filmmakers work around it by taking away Yachiyo&#039;s lines.

She does not want Yachiyo&#039;s performance to drag down her makeup work or her reputation as Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo accepts.&lt;br /&gt;

** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sea is a Link Through Time /  The Call of the Open Sea===&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. There&#039;s two different versions at hand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Momoko and Mitama arrive at a resort near a village with a legend about a Diviner who eloped with a sailor and sank with stolen treasure. Mitama reveals they are actually there to hunt for this treasure based on a fairy tale Mikage heard. While exploring the private beach, they encounter Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao from the Tokime Clan, who stumbled there by accident. The group decides to spend the day together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|The Call of the Open Sea]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, they attend a festival in a nearby village that turns out to be a branch of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka learns the villagers consider Diviners a superstition. Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Big Sis, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Felicia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward. Kyubey finds a fuming Felicia, who decides to hire herself out as a mercenary to other magical girls for money or Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Felicia Mitsuki#Side Story|Felicia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia encounters Asuka and Sasara and defeats a witch for them, but they let her keep the Grief Seed and leave without paying, leaving her frustrated. Kako appears, concerned, but Felicia rejects her harshly and immediately regrets it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia helps defeat the witch and collapses from exhaustion, silently vowing to destroy every witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Touka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Hazuki and Nanaka team up with Ui to teach her how to defeat witches.

** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art. The Amanes are relieved, and Tsukuyo suggests they play their flutes at the shrine on the way home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Both affirm that their only allies are each other, and they will always be together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends. Before Hibari&#039;s family moved away, she performed a charm ritual on Aru and promised they would meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message that Hibari is coming to visit Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After some confusion about directions, they reach the arcade where Hibari wins a crane game prize and helps Juri win one too. Hibari suddenly becomes pale and goes to get change, but she does not return. Kagome calls her and Hibari thanks her for being friends before saying goodbye, with an ambulance audible in the background.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome discovers a crowd under a Witch&#039;s Kiss heading toward a rooftop and sends emergency messages to every Magical Girl she knows. Himena&#039;s group arrives to help hold back the crowd, but other girls cannot come due to similar incidents elsewhere. Shizuka finally checks her phone and rushes over with the Tokime Clan just as someone threatens to ignite kerosene. They stop the crowd while Juri and Ao defeat the Witch with Livia&#039;s help. The Witch&#039;s Kiss is lifted and Hibari wakes up confused, with Livia covering that she collapsed from anemia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari admits she felt faint because seeing Kagome surrounded by friends made her happy but also made her feel left behind and alone. Kagome insists Hibari is wrong and promises to come running whenever Hibari is in trouble, asking them to stay best friends forever. Hibari reveals the two wishes she made when they parted came true: that she could speak her mind loudly and that Kagome would make lots of friends. They renew their promise to remain best friends forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They bonded over a shared love of &amp;quot;The Adventure of Mandragora.&amp;quot; Hibari gave Kagome a Mandragora plushie named Al-chan and asked to be friends. Kagome learned ventriloquism through Al-chan and grew more confident. The two became inseparable.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kagome&#039;s family moved due to her father&#039;s job transfer, Hibari put a charm on Al-chan with a secret wish. They promised to meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message from Hibari saying she will visit Kamihama. Kagome prepares to show her around.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives in Kamihama. Kagome is happy to see her. They go to the arcade. On the way, they run into Himena and her group. Kagome introduces Hibari. Later, Kagome helps Shizuka, who was lost and struggling with a foreigner. Hibari is impressed by how much Kagome has grown.&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the arcade. Hibari wins a plushie from a difficult crane game in one try. Juri, Yuna, and Ao appear. Juri asks Hibari to win a prize for her. Hibari succeeds. Juri offers a drink as thanks, but Hibari declines.&lt;br /&gt;

** A large group of people under Witch&#039;s Kisses begins heading toward a rooftop. Kagome coordinates with nearby Magical Girls for help. Himena, Shigure, Miyuri, and Yuna hold them off. Reinforcements from other Magical Girls are delayed due to incidents elsewhere. The situation grows dire.&lt;br /&gt;

They promise to remain best friends forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Senpai advises her to take responsibility to the end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yunass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yuna takes the lead while Juri remains competitive. Ao recalls how she wished for friends to play board games with, but those friendships faded when she lost interest. She realizes she did not truly wish for friends—she wished for convenient existences.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Aoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ao reflects on being exploited by the Monzenbashi group and how Juri destroyed them. Ao united the weaker Magical Girls into Janomiya. She resolves to be cunning for survival.

*Day 2 (Flashback)&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna explains that Juri lost to her and her senpai, which is why she joined Torayamachi. The group hunted Kyubey to stop him from recruiting Magical Girls. Kyubey agreed to leave Futatsugi. With Kyubey gone, Witches decreased, creating a Grief Seed shortage. Yuna proposed an expedition to find new territory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri&#039;s stress and anger built up without an outlet. Yuna introduced Juri to a shy but capable girl who admired Juri. The girl agreed to spar with Juri to help her release stress.

* Day 3&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri&#039;s father came home late, discussing his upcoming land deal and boxing match against an old rival. He said he could not ignore past stains and needed to win. Juri reflected on how much she and her father were alike. She decided she needed to settle her own score with Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 4&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri struggled at school, frustrated by classmates who avoided conflict and teachers who enabled them. Her anger built up. She reflected on how she became a Magical Girl—she wished for a patient, stout heart to stay in school and not burden her father. The wish gave her patience but did not eliminate her anger; it built up as flames until she exploded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl Yuna introduced continued to spar with Juri. The girl revealed Juri had saved her from a Witch, and she admired Juri. Yuna appeared, and Juri realized Yuna had set up the arrangement to help her release stress. Juri still felt unsatisfied.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 5&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri prepared for their duel. Ryuugasaki and Torayamachi factions learned of the fight and gathered to watch, tensions rising. Juri&#039;s father won his boxing match and land deal. Juri and Yuna fought. Juri screamed that she wanted to fight the Yuna who had defeated her, not her ally. The girl rushed in to stop them. Juri&#039;s attack could not be stopped, and she fatally struck the girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 6&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri was in shock. The factions argued, blaming each other. Juri silenced them, declared she would leave Torayamachi, and announced Ryuugasaki&#039;s independence. She told her followers to follow her. Yuna said she hated Juri. Juri said she had put a nail in Yuna&#039;s coffin and dared her to pry it out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 7 (Present Day)&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri explained the rest of the story to the group. The accident triggered the Blood Tragedy of Futatsugi. Ranka had been exploited by Monzenbashi Bat, and Ao formed Janomiya. Juri reflected that the recent months had been the toughest. She came home late again. Her father asked about her absences. Juri said she was fighting for the future and would explain in a few months. She reflected on how much she and her father were alike, both unable to ignore past stains. She said she liked being with him, just the two of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shizuka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime trio goes shopping and stops by Emiri’s office, where they meet Hinano and Kanoko. After awkward introductions, Shizuka admits she does not know what a factory is, so Kanoko explains. Emiri asks what country life is like; Chiharu and Sunao give different answers from Shizuka since they are more familiar with modern living. They mention meeting only recently, surprising Emiri.

** The comment makes Shizuka pause, because she never considered regrets; she had eagerly accepted her wish to break an economic agreement without understanding it, trusting it was for Japan’s good. After thinking it over, she searches for information with help from others, but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hinano explains that because the agreement fell through, local manufacturers like Kanoko’s father stayed in business, so there was little news. Chiharu and Sunao arrange a meeting at the factory and bring Shizuka. Kanoko’s father tells Shizuka his factory would have failed otherwise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Shigure and Hagumu grow close but quickly become jaded. Their families and classmates resent their constant lateness, which comes from Magius work no one can know about.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Hagumu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hagumu reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. After Walpurgisnacht, the organization dissolved, and many former Feathers joined the Kamihama Magia Union. Hagumu is uncertain, as she believes in Magical Girl Supremacy and cannot accept the Union&#039;s ideology of liberation without sacrifice. Shigure contacts her, asking to meet and talk. Shigure wants to convince Touka and Nemu to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Hagumu is conflicted—she cannot trust the Magius after being exploited, but she also cannot decide what to do. She asks for time to think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hagumu Azumi#Side Story|Hagumu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu meets Maria, a former Magius member who joined the Union. Maria notices Hagumu looks unwell and offers to listen. Hagumu explains her dilemma: she cannot agree with the Union&#039;s ideology, but she also cannot follow Shigure&#039;s plan. Maria suggests Hagumu ask other Magical Girls how they decided. Hagumu recalls her wish was made in haste to save a woman under a Witch&#039;s Kiss, and she regrets not choosing a better wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Moka why she joined the Union. Moka says she joined because she was invited and everyone is kind. Hagumu sees Moka is honest and never doubts people, which is why everyone supports her. Hagumu realizes they are completely different—Moka has people who protect her, while Hagumu feels she has nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Yukika, a former Black Feather, why she declined the Union. Yukika says she did not want to drag others into trouble. Hagumu sees Yukika has strong convictions and follows them, unlike herself. Hagumu feels more discouraged.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches. Hagumu is moved but asks for more time to discuss it with Shigure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hagumu senses a Witch and goes to help. She sees Riko, an elementary schooler, defeating the Witch on her own.

She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* At the Hikarizuka Youth Association, San is treated like a younger sister by the members. The Chairman reveals the Association is facing rumours of shady business and has lost a major sponsor.

She joined the Youth Association out of admiration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[San Kagura#Side Story|San&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She decides to contact the new Wings of Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San meets Shigure and Hagumu, who lead the Neo-Magius. They ask her to join as an instructor. San declines, saying she is more suited to being a lieutenant. She receives a message that Tatsu was caught in a violent incident. San rushes back. Sponsors are considering dropping out due to the incident. San decides to negotiate with Miyuri&#039;s father to continue sponsorship just for this year. She kneels and begs him.

** San tells Himena about her wish and her determination to become a god. She vows to spread Magical Girl supremacy and revive the Fire Festival by any means necessary. Himena approves.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Miyuri&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena, Alexandra, Hagumu, and Shigure watch as San stretches Miyuri. Miyuri&#039;s loud reactions draw attention. Himena asks about Miyuri&#039;s inline skating. Miyuri explains she started skating as a child because she was bad at running and her parents bought her skates. She fell in love with the feeling of cutting through the wind and quickly improved, eventually competing in freestyle competitions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Miyuri Yukari#Side Story|Miyuri&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s social anxiety worsened. She began experiencing panic attacks at competitions and could no longer compete. Her parents signed her up with the Hikarizuka Youth Association to help her interact with people. There, she met San for the first time. San invited her to dance practice. Miyuri fainted from overexcitement while watching San&#039;s legs. She realized she had a leg fetish and that it triggered her anxiety. She began avoiding San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s skating practice suffered. Her mother suggested she visit the Community Center. Miyuri avoided San again and went outside to practice skating alone at night. She felt free and happy while skating. San saw her dancing in the moonlight and was mesmerized. San decided she wanted to help Miyuri grow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish. San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri learned her new power shortened her experience of anxiety. She became more confident but still fainted easily. She fought Witches alone, often blacking out and going berserk. She encountered the Wings of the Magius while chasing a Witch. Her Doppel emerged. San appeared as the Instructor, defeated the Witch, and fended off the Doppel. San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training. Touka and Nemu suggested San should train Miyuri since she could still hear San&#039;s voice when unconscious. San agreed and became Miyuri&#039;s instructor. Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present) Back at the Community Center, Miyuri finishes her story. She does not regret her wish because it led her to become San&#039;s secret weapon and join Neo-Magius. Himena and the others leave, leaving San and Miyuri alone and Miyuri is mitten with San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Lavi explains she used to have a frail body as a child due to an unidentifiable condition. Her grandfather grew organic vegetables, which eased her symptoms. However, a severe storm destroyed the field&#039;s soil, making it impossible to grow vegetables. Lavi wished to restore the soil and became a Magical Girl. Her wish saved the field and gave hope to others. She admits her improved health was partly due to becoming a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The meal is delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After making the newspaper, Nayuta and Mikage fall asleep. Lavi reflects on her past. She reveals that she never found joy in living despite her family&#039;s efforts. Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true. She asks for a little more time in her beloved daily life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Asahi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime Tribe holds a celebration to welcome Asahi. During introductions, Chiharu rambles excitedly about her favorite shows, and Asahi finds herself intrigued. When pressed to share more about herself, Asahi talks about hunting and the importance of minimizing suffering. That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun. Everyone apologizes, and they end the day with a shared dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Alexandra&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Re-analyze and structure this. It is a double-story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra dreams of her school days. She sees her past self smiling and realizes she is dreaming of the time she was in love. In the dream, she discusses love with Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu. Himena shares a romantic story about stargazing with Hiko. When Himena asks about their own love lives, Alexandra begins crying unexpectedly. She denies anything is wrong, but Himena apologizes for being insensitive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Alexandra Kurusu#Side Story|Alexandra&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, Alexandra&#039;s teacher appears—but he looks like Shigure. Other people appear as Himena and Hagumu. She recalls that her teacher was her math teacher and club advisor. He was strict and had a reputation for being scary. Alexandra remembers how she would complain about him with her classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After club activities, Alexandra wants to practice singing more. She goes to the rooftop and finds the teacher there. He allows her to practice under his supervision.

Later, it rains, and the teacher lends her his towel. She realizes she has fallen in love with him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra begins trying to appeal to the teacher daily. She asks about his relationship status and learns he is single. She indirectly describes him when talking about her type. She leaves a love letter in his shoe locker. He thinks it is a prank but recognizes her handwriting. She keeps trying to convey her feelings, but he never takes her seriously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra&#039;s behavior becomes obvious in class. She eagerly volunteers to answer questions and is overly happy when called on. Her classmates are amazed she can talk to the scary teacher so cheerfully. She learns everyone fears him. She asks why he became a teacher, and he admits his parents were teachers and he had wanted to be a singer but never pursued it. He wonders if there is any meaning to his life. Alexandra feels sorrow and wants him to be happy. She begins planning to improve his reputation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She organizes a surprise birthday party for him with her classmates. He is genuinely happy and thanks her. He realizes she planned it. She tells him all the students respect him. He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra cannot wake up from the dream. She imagines the teacher scolding her for playing with his feelings. She decides she needs to apologize in real life. She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love. She tells him her feelings were not a deception—they were true love. She thanks him for a wonderful time and says she now only places her faith in Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Urara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara volunteers to do grocery shopping for Lavi. At the supermarket, she gets distracted by flash sales and buys beef, bean sprouts, and curry ingredients. She forgets Lavi&#039;s shopping list. Lavi forgives her but asks her to be more self-controlled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Urara Yume#Side Story|Urara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Urara and Lavi travel to Yukuni. Urara loses her wallet, but Lavi finds it. At the agency, Urara&#039;s manager asks her to coach a children&#039;s diabolo class as a final job. Urara accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the diabolo class, Urara teaches the class alone. Some children struggle to follow her teaching style. Lavi, Alexandra, and Asahi watch from a distance. During lunch, Urara admits she cannot explain techniques well. Lavi analyzes the wrist angles and timing, and the others offer to help. The class is a success.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Urara feels inadequate and misses her former partner, Kurara. She remembers Kurara was better at teaching. Lavi notices Urara is depressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Several days later, Urara returns to Yukuni to pick up her resignation papers. Lavi accompanies her. Urara admits she misses Kurara. Lavi warns her that reconciliation is unlikely, but Urara insists on trying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the agency, Urara confronts Kurara. Kurara reveals she always resented being compared to Urara&#039;s natural talent and felt like &amp;quot;Not-Urara.&amp;quot; She says breaking up the duo was for the best and asks Urara to stop involving herself. Urara is devastated. She returns to Kamihama and cries to Lavi, who comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Urara receives a message from her manager. A girl named Rei from the diabolo class wants more lessons. Urara agrees to meet her. Rei wants to learn the &amp;quot;Urara Special&amp;quot; to beat a prodigy her age. Urara remembers how she unknowingly hurt Kurara by copying her tricks too easily. She decides to coach Rei properly. Lavi offers to stay and help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara and Rei practice together. Lavi advises on timing. Rei successfully performs the trick. Urara tells her to remember the joy of performing, not just winning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rei competes and wins her first cup by performing the Urara Special, a trick even the prodigy could not do. Rei thanks Urara. Urara realizes that coaching helped her grow and face her regrets about Kurara. Rei asks Urara to be her permanent coach. Urara agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Nayuta&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta dreams of proving folkloric studies superior to Touka, but Lavi wakes her with obnoxious humming. Lavi scolds her for being a deep sleeper and rushes her to school in Takarazaki City, where Nayuta complains that Lavi acts like a stern stepmother rather than a kind maid her age.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In class, a self‑assessment exercise has Nayuta describe herself as quiet and diligent, but her peers call her stubborn, someone who hates losing and speaks her mind. She reluctantly accepts “stubborn” fits her persistent search for her father. The teacher introduces the Johari Window, explaining that without communication people understand themselves at most fifty percent and others only twenty‑five percent—a lesson that sticks with Nayuta.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Nayuta meets Iroha at the train station. Both are surprised the other remembers them. They discover they are the same grade and both hail from Takarazaki, and Iroha mentions she also searched for a lost loved one. Nayuta requests to see Yachiyo, apologizing for her bluntness. Iroha reassures her, noting they are both stubborn junior‑high girls from Takarazaki who came to Kamihama to find someone important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Yachiyo has no new information about Nayuta’s father. Tsuruno has Nayuta show a photo, but no one recognizes him. Felicia suggests Nayuta simply ask Touka, since she also grew up at Satomi Medical Center. Nayuta refuses, saying she cannot trust Touka, and apologizes for her stubbornness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Nayuta admits to Lavi she slept poorly because she cannot stop thinking about Touka. Mikage arrives, upset after a fight with Sudachi: Mikage complained about school, Sudachi said she envied Mikage for being able to attend, and they argued over whose position was harder.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home. Lavi approves of her standing her ground, and Nayuta realizes she and Lavi are more alike than she thought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Himika tells her about Emiri’s counseling center, so they go there together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the center, Emiri, Sasara, Asuka, and Kanoko are delighted to meet Mitama’s little sister. Mikage explains she is looking for a friend, but Emiri points out they are already her friends. After some banter about fashion, Mikage tries on Kanoko’s outfits and has a wonderful time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mikage wonders if the older girls truly see her as a friend or just as a kid. Himika suggests she meet girls her own age like Ui, Touka, and Nemu, though Mikage is uncertain about befriending the geniuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When she returns home, Mitama warns her that Ui has been kidnapped by Promised Blood and forbids Mikage from associating with the Kamihama Magia Union. Mikage reluctantly agrees but is frustrated her efforts to make friends have been stopped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama leaves for work and Mikage accuses her of hypocrisy—Mitama can spend time with the KMU while Mikage cannot. She runs out, declaring she will find a new big sister. She finds Emiri’s office closed but runs into Rika and Ren, who quickly realize she is Mitama’s sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Mikage bond over fashion and go to some cheap stores, where Mikage realizes she left her wallet. They play a crane game instead, and Rika wins stuffed animals for Ren and Mikage. Mikage asks Rika to be her big sister; Rika declines but encourages her to talk to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory. Kanoko lets her help make a pendant, but before Mikage can convince her to become her sister, Mitama arrives and drags her home. Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any. Later, she finds Mitama has made all her favorite foods, and they reconcile off‑screen; Mikage gives Mitama the pendant she made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage declares she will not give up on making Kamihama Magia Union friends. She then decides that since Lavi and Nayuta are older, they can be her big sisters instead. They exchange a look and agree to treat her for one day. Mikage expresses her hope that someday she and Sudachi can play with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited again. She jokes about the visitor&#039;s persistence. Yozuru and Sudachi return from stocking up on essentials. Sudachi trips, and Yozuru hesitates to help. Livia instructs Yozuru to help Sudachi stand and dust her off. Yozuru apologizes and explains she is not equipped with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the trailer, Yozuru offers tea. Sudachi wants teacakes. Livia allows them to have some as a treat. Livia reflects that she needs to help the girls mature. Yozuru has lost compassion, while Sudachi needs to find her words. Livia believes they will complement each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is found sleeping and crying. Yozuru gives her a handkerchief. Livia says crying in sleep happens occasionally and is common among Coordinators. She thanks Sudachi for finding her dropped ring. Sudachi sulks when Livia refuses to give her sweets as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the ring is a treasure and a way of reprimanding herself. It is the reason she lives for &amp;quot;Mister Sun.&amp;quot; She says she may tell the full story another time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia shares her philosophy: no matter how awful life is, do not drift in a bad direction or relieve resentment with a curse. Magical Girls are born from hope and must overcome struggles with hope. She warns against corrupting purity and urges supporting those with pure hearts. She says she has said enough for now and will share the rest when she is ready. She asks the visitor to promise to live strong, face forward, and not end up like her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Ryo loses sight of Lil&#039; Kyubey. She finds a girl with potential who may have received a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and helps fight the Witch alongside Nanaka. After the battle, Nanaka explains Lil&#039; Kyubey followed her into the labyrinth and returned a flower she dropped.

This is also belonging to the anime partly. Write the main part on the magia record and then the second part on the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices. Kyubey, whom she calls a talking cat, keeps urging her to make a contract, but she does not know what to wish for—though she finds herself wishing God could speak to humans like Kyubey does.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the boy reads the fairy tale Kuroe recommended. He questions a detail in the story, but Kuroe simply accepts it because the writer says so. He jokes that he feels alive because Kuroe thinks so deeply, meaning it as a compliment. Later a teacher asks about her high school plans; Kuroe claims she has decided, but she is merely following her family’s expectations and secretly does not want to go to high school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When the girl asks for a spare Grief Seed, Kuroe lies and says the Witch got away. The girl promises they will both become strong and leaves.

===Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe dreams of Iroha, though she cannot understand her words. Her Doppel reflects that her contract gave her affirmation of existence, yet she still does not feel like anyone - she simply adapts to whatever situation she is in, resented by no one and dependent on no one, but still wondering who she should be. In the dream, Iroha asks what scares her and offers to figure out who Kuroe is together. Kuroe wakes up wondering why she dreamed of the camping trip, and she calls Iroha, deciding she wants to connect with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroeds&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Doppel Story|Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sasara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara is taken hostage at knifepoint in a convenience store. Despite her desire to be a knight, she is too terrified to act. Though the police arrest the criminal and she is safe, Sasara feels ashamed and hates herself for her cowardice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sasara Minagi#Side Story|Sasara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sasara meets Kyubey and when he makes his offer, Sasara accepts without hesitation. As her father works for an emergency rescue squad, a job she admires, he gave her a favorite picture book about a knight who defeats a dragon to save a village. Sasara carries this book everywhere and has always wanted to be like her father and the knight. She wishes to become a knight who can protect and save people, asking for a stronger heart and stronger convictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Sasara has been hunting witches and saving their victims ever since making her contract. She calls herself the Knight who protects the people of Kamihama, but over time her feelings become tainted. The people she rescues never remember what happened and do not acknowledge her. Sasara realizes she wants someone to appreciate her and questions whether she really wanted to become a knight at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book. She thought she could accept the people she helped not talking to her, but now it feels like she does not even exist. When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nanaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Needs to be re-checked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako to ask for their help fighting a witch they all share a connection to. To explain why she needs them, Nanaka tells them how she became a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka&#039;s father headed a traditional Japanese flower arranging school, but when he fell ill, senior students took over and grew the school&#039;s popularity while abandoning its traditions, shutting out Nanaka&#039;s family entirely. On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform. She decided to lay the Soul Gem with its owner&#039;s body, and when she placed the gem in the girl&#039;s hands, the girl began breathing again. Later, Kyubey explained that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Kyubey asks if Nanaka will tell the others this secret, but she says she is waiting for the right moment. Nanaka then reflects that her true revenge target is actually Kyubey himself. Her power makes it clear he is her enemy, though she does not know all the details, and she is waiting for the right time to turn against him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Nanaka&#039;s team is still unable to find the witch. Akira reports meeting a magical girl mercenary. As the girls plan their next move, Nanaka muses about how she is gathering the determination of magical girls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Re-check.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuku enjoys time with her friends but feels disconnected from them and uncertain about her future. She finds comfort in Fūnī, a traveler who visits her family&#039;s cafe and shares his dream of finding a place to belong. When he invites her to search with him, she feels hopeful that she will not be alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** One day after a job, Yachiyo Nanami, Tsuruno Yui, and Iroha Tamaki approach her. Iroha invites Shizuku to their house, where she meets Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba. She stays for dinner and overnight, observing how the five girls live together like a family. Yachiyo invites her to stay as long as she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku realizes the other girls have found their place to belong, but she understands that her own place was with Fūnī. She cries as his last words finally make sense to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, Shizuku ends her arrangement with the unknown magical girl and returns to Yachiyo&#039;s house, hoping she can stay there. When she arrives, the house is empty, and she sees the personal items that mark each girl&#039;s place. Overhearing them return, she realizes their home is complete with five people and she does not belong there. She leaves quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and the others had prepared a welcome party with cake, but Shizuku never comes. Yachiyo senses that Shizuku might disappear if you look away and admits she should have seen this coming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku returns to the unknown magical girl and asks for more work. When asked why she came back, she says their picture was complete with five people and she must keep searching for where she belongs. She mentally apologizes to Yachiyo, knowing her actions will cause disaster but feeling unprepared to take responsibility. She wonders if she will ever find solid ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Akira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After Nanaka and Sasara contracts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Akira wakes from a dream about being attacked by a familiar and finds Sasara Minagi nearby, who is out for a walk. Sasara offers to help Akira search for an old man&#039;s lost cane, recalling she saw children playing with a red cane, and the two head off together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akira Shinobu#Side Story|Akira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** When Akira started middle school, a girl asked her to be a bodyguard against a stalker. The girl brought her to a park, confessed her love, and admitted to lying about the stalker. Akira politely rejected her, saying she didn&#039;t know much about that sort of thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Akira learned the girl had vanished and spent days searching for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day Akira found the barrier, she retraced the girl&#039;s steps in the park and stepped into a witch&#039;s labyrinth. She found the missing girl among blank-faced victims marked by a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Kyubey appeared, explained about witches and magical girls, and offered a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After becoming a magical girl, Akira patrolled Kamihama investigating witch-related incidents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day, she encountered a familiar without transforming and dropped her Soul Gem. Unable to retrieve it, she fled the barrier and collapsed unconscious outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** A few days later, Nanaka called asking for a favor. When they met again, Nanaka requested a duel, claiming Akira was weak and should quit hunting witches. Akira refused, citing her family&#039;s dojo, and they dueled. After some fighting, Nanaka ended the duel and apologized. She explained she wanted to test Akira&#039;s resolve and invited her to work together as a team. Akira relented after Nanaka claimed she was troubled and couldn&#039;t fight witches alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She dreams of following her father&#039;s footsteps as a chef and believes that gaining admission to the prestigious St. Lillianna Academy will help her cook like a high class lady and restore the restaurant&#039;s popularity. Kyubey notes her poor grades make passing unlikely, but Manaka insists this is her father&#039;s last chance and resolves to study.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Manaka Kurumi#Side Story|Manaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Ria Ami#Side Story|Ria&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Kako, Manaka&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A documentary crew follows Ria Ami, whose natural beauty causes crowds to part, though she admits she has no basis for comparison when asked about her challenges. Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ria asks Manaka to be her bodyguard while buying the magazine featuring her article, wearing sunglasses to avoid being seen. Inside, she discovers her article occupies only one page, while Yachiyo has an eight-page spread. Furious and convinced Yachiyo did it on purpose, Ria tears the magazine in half, and the clerk charges her for it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;riass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ria Ami#Side Story|Ria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

As Tsumugi enthusiastically describes food, Ria realizes she has potential as a critic and proposes a strategy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Tsumugi has been training with Ria&#039;s help, visiting different restaurants and improving her reviews. Her blog has gained more followers. Meanwhile, Manaka feels she hasn&#039;t reached her father&#039;s level as a chef but refuses to discuss it, insisting a chef cannot ask a diner for advice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and Ria eat at Walnuts. Manaka is surprised by Tsumugi&#039;s improved reviews and lifts any implied ban. Tsumugi wants to fill Walnuts with people, but Manaka says she prefers just Tsumugi coming to enjoy her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi proposes promotional ideas to help Walnuts, including using Ria&#039;s modeling. Ria agrees, and Manaka will seek her father&#039;s approval.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they organize &amp;quot;The Rice Omelette Festival&amp;quot; at Walnuts. No customers arrive for the first half hour. Customers eventually come, but they are from Ria&#039;s advertising. Tsumugi becomes sad, feeling she is not as strong as Ria.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the event, Tsumugi cries and confesses disappointment that none of her followers came, feeling she is just an average student with no unique qualities. Ria encourages her not to let failure discourage her, insisting she has talent. Tsumugi decides to make a contract with Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Manaka and Ria fight familiars in a witch&#039;s barrier. Tsumugi suddenly appears and uses her new magic to consume a familiar&#039;s attack, gaining power from it. The three defeat the witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Walnuts afterward, Tsumugi honestly criticizes Manaka&#039;s omelette, explaining her wish now forces her to tell the truth about food. In a flashback, she wished to help Manaka by learning what she could do. She realized she needed to give objective criticism to truly help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Tsumugi helps Manaka close Walnuts. She notices Manaka changed the recipe based on her feedback. Manaka appreciates Tsumugi&#039;s constructive criticism and asks her to continue eating her food so she can become a better chef. Tsumugi excitedly agrees, happy she can eat Manaka&#039;s delicious food every day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ren&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren stands on a rooftop, contemplating suicide. Kyubey warns her that if she repeats her previous actions, her Soul Gem will be destroyed. Ren understands. She thinks about how people have always said hurtful things and believes she cannot live in such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nearby, Rika defeats a Witch and sees Ren about to jump. She saves her and asks why she wants to die. Ren cannot answer. She reflects on her childhood: she has always had trouble speaking and was teased and bullied for it. She attempted suicide once before but was scared of dying. Kyubey appeared and granted her wish to live.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explained that the bullying was caused by a Witch&#039;s influence—Witches hurt people, who then hurt others. Ren resolved to destroy Witches to create a better world. However, no matter how many Witches she defeated, people still acted cruelly. Kyubey told her that even destroying all Witches would not remove malice from people&#039;s hearts. This is why Ren wanted to die again, but she cannot explain any of this to Rika.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika takes Ren to meet other Magical Girls. At Emiri&#039;s Trouble Consultation Office, Ren meets Akira but cannot introduce herself and nearly cries. Emiri brings her to Ria, who gives her hand cream, and Konomi, who gives her chamomile tea. Rika then takes Ren to the chemistry club, where Hinano gives her candy instead of medicine. They visit Kanoko at her family&#039;s metal factory, where Kanoko shows a dress she designed with mushroom motifs and gives Ren accessories made of metal sheets. Emiri leaves, and Rika admits she never actually listened to Ren&#039;s problem.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika shares her own story: she wished for someone she loved to love her back, even though that person already liked someone else. She says she stole that love with a selfish wish and asks Ren if she thinks she is a horrible person. Ren manages to say she does not think so. Rika is relieved. She explains that to get others to open up, you must share the secrets that create distance.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren tries to tell her story but cannot get the words out and begins crying. Rika tells her not to force herself. She shows Ren all the gifts she received from the others and says that if all these people were thinking about her, she should continue to live. She says the world is filled with both bad and beautiful things, and the most painful thing is to have nothing. Ren says she will live. Rika leaves, and Ren thanks her. Ren thinks that if Rika can accept her story, she will be able to live forever.&lt;br /&gt;

===Konoha&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoha manages the finances and makes decisions for Hazuki and Ayame. When Hazuki calls to say she&#039;s stuck at meetings and suggests take-out, Konoha decides to cook instead to save money. Despite Hazuki&#039;s warnings, Ayame tries Konoha&#039;s cooking. Later, Hazuki returns to find Ayame sick; Konoha learns Ayame was too polite to refuse the food. Hazuki offers to handle meals from now on, which prompts Konoha to resolve that she will learn to make delicious food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konoha Shizumi#Side Story|Konoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha buys cookware and studies cooking theory, suspecting Hazuki might be a cooking prodigy. She makes a disastrous meal incorporating everything she read, and Hazuki collapses after tasting it. Ayame brings home a flyer for a cooking class at &amp;quot;Youshoku Walnuts,&amp;quot; noting that the food there made Hazuki cry. Ayame encourages Konoha, and Konoha resolves to take the class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Konoha meets the teacher, Manaka Kurumi, at the restaurant. Manaka attempts to teach knife skills and how to crack eggs, but Konoha struggles with both. Manaka promises to help her improve. She has Konoha make practice dishes, but Konoha burns oil, over-dashes rice, and explodes miso soup, so Manaka has to take over each time. When finished, Manaka tastes it, insists it&#039;s good to protect her reputation, eats it all, and passes out. Konoha tries the leftovers and confirms it is truly terrible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha hunts a witch with her team while distracted by thoughts about cooking. After they defeat it, Himika Mao arrives late, introduces herself, and asks if they are sisters; Hazuki explains they are not. Himika mentions she is thirteen with five younger siblings. When Ayame asks about being an older sister, Himika invites her to meet her family. Konoha asks to come as Ayame&#039;s guardian upon learning Himika cooks for her family, and Himika accepts. Hazuki says she will prepare dinner at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, at Himika&#039;s house, Konoha and Ayame observe the cramped living space. Himika explains she uses cheap leftover meat blends from a disposal man to feed her family. She serves dinner, and all her siblings along with Ayame eat. When Konoha asks if the food is tasty, the siblings say they never think it&#039;s bad because Himika does her best. Konoha reflects on Azalea&#039;s House and realizes she was too focused on theory rather than on who she was cooking for. She thanks Himika and leaves with Ayame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, Ayame and Hazuki find Konoha cooking again. Konoha promises to give up if she fails this time. Focusing on her feelings rather than theory, she makes a meal from Azalea&#039;s. Hazuki and Ayame try it and say it&#039;s bad, but it&#039;s edible. Konoha is excited that someone could actually eat her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ayame returns home to find Konoha cooking again. Hazuki observes that Konoha has found joy in the act of cooking. Konoha narrates that she learned cooking is about heart, and could now make food people could finish. She thinks cooking is fun, though Ayame and Hazuki sometimes scream loud enough to startle the neighbors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Konoha attempts beef stroganoff, a dish Hazuki admits is difficult. Hazuki and Ayame try it and collapse. Konoha says she will redo it. She narrates that experience matters, and wonders what to try next.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hazuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame meet with Nanaka, Meiyui, Akira, and Kako at a restaurant to discuss how to handle situations where both teams target the same Witch. Meiyui proposes a first-come, first-served rule, but Hazuki points out it would lead to disputes over who arrived first. Ayame suggests settling conflicts with rock-paper-scissors, and though Meiyui argues there&#039;s no time for games in battle, Hazuki has them try it on the spot. When Ayame and Meiyui play, Meiyui uses a martial arts technique to change Ayame&#039;s hand, causing an argument between the groups. Hazuki calms everyone down and suggests they go home for the day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hazuki Yusa#Side Story|Hazuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls reconvene at the restaurant. Hazuki proposes a new rule: anyone who uses magic against a Witch gains proportional rights to the Grief Seed. Both teams agree, and Hazuki suggests they gather data by hunting together. They split into mixed teams—Ayame and Kako form one; Hazuki, Akira, and Meiyui another and Konoha and Nanaka stand by to help as needed. After the successful joint hunt, Nanaka meets with Hazuki alone at the restaurant. She reveals she believes Hazuki manipulated the entire situation from the first meeting, noting that her team was impressed with Hazuki&#039;s group&#039;s teamwork but that she herself was more struck by Hazuki&#039;s modus operandi. Nanaka asks why Hazuki orchestrated everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki admits she wanted Konoha, who is introverted, to connect with others and that after the Witch fight, Konoha seemed genuinely happy. She explains her goal was simply to build connections between her group and other Kamihama Magical Girls. Nanaka accepts this and says she&#039;s glad to work with her. Later, Hazuki writes in her notebook that Nanaka is shrewd but fascinating, and she resolves to continue reaching out to other Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ayame&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame encounters Felicia during a Witch fight, and their rivalry quickly escalates when Felicia dismisses Ayame&#039;s challenge to lead the girls to argue and accidentally let the Witch escape. Frustrated by losing to Felicia specifically, Ayame confronts her afterward, and despite Kako&#039;s attempts to mediate, the two insist on settling things through some competition. Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch. Emerging back in the park, Felicia thanks Ayame, and they realize the race was never finished. They resume, but Ayame admits she&#039;s fine with not winning and she has come to accept Felicia as a strong rival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ayamess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ayame Mikuri#Side Story|Ayame&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Masara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro gives Masara cookies simply because she wants to, leaving Masara confused by the gesture. Masara flashes back to their first meeting, when Kokoro had blamed herself for being unable to protect others and Masara told her she should not carry that guilt. Kokoro had asked to stay by Masara&#039;s side, explaining that those words had saved her. In the present, Kokoro asks what Masara is thinking about, and when Masara admits she was remembering their first meeting, Kokoro smiles. Masara does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Masara Kagami#Side Story|Masara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara visits Mitama for magical strengthening, bringing many Grief Seeds with her. Mitama notes her unusual enthusiasm, and Masara explains she wants to get stronger in order to find something that might change her life. Mitama suggests she try attending a summer festival and hands her a flyer, but Masara shows no interest. When Mitama brings up Kokoro, mentioning that Kokoro has talked about her, Masara insists they are merely working together, not friends, and finds Kokoro&#039;s expectations troublesome. Mitama claims Masara is actually worried about Kokoro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara reflects on her childhood, remembering how her parents had her swim from a young age. Despite showing talent, she never felt any joy or sense of accomplishment, though she continued hoping it might eventually change. It never did. She became a magical girl thinking her dull life might finally become interesting, but even that eventually grew boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead. The Witch targets Kokoro, and Masara injures herself by blocking the attack. The Witch escapes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro apologizes, but Masara claims she only did what was most logical, since the Witch could not have been defeated alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Masara keeps flashing back to the moment the Witch attacked Kokoro whenever she looks at her injury. The recurring memory bothers her, though she does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Kokoro offers to hunt the Witch again with Masara. Masara flashes back to the previous fight and insists she will hunt it alone. She tells Kokoro she is a burden and that she does not like getting hurt. Masara leaves Kokoro crying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara tells Mitama what happened. Mitama suggests Masara was actually trying to protect Kokoro. Masara is at a loss and wonders why being around Kokoro causes her to get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro blames herself for causing Masara trouble. She senses the same Witch and, respecting Masara&#039;s wish to hunt alone, decides to fight it by herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help. Masara agrees and tells Kokoro to call her next time. When Kokoro worries about causing trouble, Masara insists she is doing it for herself, because she does not like seeing Kokoro get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro asks if she can call Masara during lunch. Masara says she does not care either way. The two go to Mitama&#039;s place together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro notices the summer festival flyer and asks if Masara is interested. Masara admits she is a little interested. Mitama laughs and says they can look forward to the future when there is something or someone important. Kokoro and Masara are confused by her comment, which exasperates Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Konomi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi welcomes Kaede and Kako to the flower shop where she works part-time. She began working at Blossom because the florist once comforted her as a crying child with a single flower, and now Konomi does the same for other children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konomi Haruna#Side Story|Konomi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a customer leaves, Kaede and Kako help the florist carry supplies. The florist recently returned from the hospital, having survived a serious illness.

Desperate to help, she wished to Kyubey to cure the florist&#039;s illness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;!--The Flashback: Their First Meeting--&amp;gt;Kaede and Kako visit the shop for the first time. Kako searches for a specific flower, which Konomi identifies. During tea break, Kako explains she read about the flowers in a novel and wants to buy some for a friend&#039;s birthday. Kaede admits she has never given flowers but receiving them once felt wonderful. Konomi smiles and says she has an idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of the flower giveaway, Konomi, Kaede, and Kako take to the streets, suddenly appearing to hand bouquets to strangers before disappearing. A lottery winner, a despairing old man, and a boy who just got a girl&#039;s number all receive flowers. Later, the girls reunite. Kaede gave to ten people, Kako to thirteen. Konomi apologizes, but they agree to try again the day after tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, before their next giveaway, a girl asks Konomi about the Bursting Flower Girl, a rumored figure who appears on Tuesdays and Thursdays to hand out flowers that supposedly sprout mouths. Konomi, Kaede, and Kako realize they are the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi panics, fearing they have made people hate flowers. They notice a little girl crying because her mother refused to buy her a toy ring. Konomi offers a flower, but the girl wants a ring. Kako fashions the flower into a ring, and the girl calls it pretty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi realizes they have been giving flowers without understanding what recipients truly want. She decides to create something more meaningful. Inspired by Kaede&#039;s mention of birthday flowers and Kako&#039;s knowledge of flower language, they plan an arrangement that speaks to people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi and the girls create a birthday cake made of fifty flowers, with chocolate and candy inside. The cake incorporates birth flowers so greetings can be communicated through their language. They prepare a fair at the shop to showcase it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi shows the cake to the florist, who gives a muted reaction and announces her retirement, planning to leave Konomi the shop.

===Rika&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Hinano, Emiri, Ria, Manaka, Akira&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Rika is invited to a blind date by Emiri Kisaki, who brings along Hinano Miyako, a girl recently heartbroken. When the boys on the date mock Hinano&#039;s youthful appearance and odd way of speaking, Rika surprises her by defending them. Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her. Emiri and Rika quickly reassure Hinano, with Rika adding that Hinano is actually cool for having been able to confess her feelings—unlike Rika, who never confessed at all and watched her crush end up with someone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri then suggests Rika should make a wish, revealing that she and Hinano are magical girls who each received one wish in exchange for fighting monsters. Rika wonders if this is some kind of game. Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika muses that her wish was granted and she is now dating her crush, yet she feels deeply unhappy. When Kyubey asks what is wrong, she admits that every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens with unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mayu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mayu is a third-year student at Mizuna Academy who works part-time at the Kamihama Contemporary Art Museum. When she accidentally breaks the museum director&#039;s cup, her boss handles the situation calmly and kindly. After work, she meets her friend Sayuki Fumino outside the museum, and when Sayuki cannot stay, Mayu&#039;s boss offers to accompany her to an exhibit instead. They later go to a cafe, where Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi are also present. Ria grows increasingly annoyed overhearing Mayu&#039;s conversation with her boss, particularly when he hints at wanting to take her somewhere else and praises her cooking. At home that evening, Mayu cooks for her mother and asks if her father would have eaten her cooking, wondering what life would be like if he were still alive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayu Kozue#Side Story|Mayu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at school, Mayu talks with Sayuki about the sword exhibit. She then heads to work, and after her shift ends, her boss mentions his wife and child are away and invites her out to eat. Mayu declines. As she leaves, she forgets her phone, and her boss rushes to return it, asking again about dinner with growing intensity. Ria suddenly appears and bumps into him, yelling at them for flirting and demanding they sit for a lecture. Mayu&#039;s boss says she ruined it and leaves. Ria warns Mayu that her sweet, innocent air attracts older men and that if things continue, his family will fall apart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home that night, Mayu reflects on the day she learned of her father&#039;s death and on Ria&#039;s words. Kyubey appears and offers a contract. Thinking she does not want her boss&#039;s family to suffer the same hardship her family did, Mayu makes her wish: to stop his family from breaking apart. That night, she narrates that her boss transferred to a new job, and she is sure her wish was granted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later at school, Mayu finds boys have started hitting on her. Ria constantly steps in to drive them off. Before Ria can finish telling Mayu to shape up, they both sense a Witch. The girls reveal they are Magical Girls, and they track the Witch to the museum&#039;s special exhibit room. Sayuki suddenly appears and reveals she is also a Magical Girl. During the fight, Mayu notices the Witch only targets Ria. She asks Sayuki to lend her strength and launches a surprise attack, destroying the Witch. Afterward, Mayu thinks that to protect people she must think clearly before acting, and Ria admits Mayu was more reliable than usual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As a child, Sayuki attends an idol performance with her parents, but when the crowd becomes dangerously wild, she is almost squeezed to death, leaving her with lasting trauma.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayuki Fumino#Side Story|Sayuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Growing up in a happy family, Sayuki develops a deep interest in katanas that creates a gap between her and her classmates. Though they respect her passion, she feels lonely without someone to share it with. This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert. Sayuki believes speaking out is important no matter the outcome and swears to protect the kind people who have been kind to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka. Moka thanks Alina for saving her and says she has now made new friends, resolving to devote herself to exterminating witches and admitting she is only a little afraid of them now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Riko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Sis = Miss K. Check what Exedra says&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Years ago, Riko spent her childhood with a cheerful older neighbor girl she called &amp;quot;Sis&amp;quot; while her parents worked long hours at their family bento shop. They grew as close as sisters until Sis became engaged to marry someone far away. When Sis&#039;s father suddenly opposed the match despite approving it before, Riko wished upon Kyubey that everyone would give their blessings to the marriage. Her wish worked, and Sis moved away happily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Riko Chiaki#Side Story|Riko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Riko struggles with loneliness waiting alone at home while her parents work overtime. One night, after they call to say they cannot return until after midnight due to a huge order, years of broken promises finally overwhelm her. She snaps, calls them liars who were never there for her like Sis was, and tells them she hates them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko goes Witch hunting to vent her stress but nearly dies against a stronger Witch. In that moment, despair crushes her and she wishes she had never made her wish so Sis would still be there. Tsukasa, a regular at her family&#039;s shop, finds her crying and listens as Riko confides everything about her feelings and what happened with Sis. Speaking from experience, Tsukasa tells her that separation is no excuse for broken contact and recommends she reach out to Sis directly. Riko messages Sis that night before falling asleep exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sis replies promptly. She explains she wanted to contact Riko but left home after arguing with her father and thought a visit would be awkward. She also reveals she was hospitalized to give birth and only discharged that day, inviting Riko to come see her instead. When Riko asks her parents for permission, expecting them to refuse, they apologize sincerely and grant permission for the trip.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Riko visits Sis with her parents. Sis introduces her husband and newborn daughter, hoping Riko will get along with her child just as they once got along. Riko makes a silent promise to be a good sister to this baby and aims to grow into a fine lady, just like Sis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maria&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Maria bids her parents goodbye for the day. Her mother gives her money for dinner, which Maria insists on keeping only a small portion of, and Maria mentions she will be at her part‑time daycare job after school. On her way to school, she runs into two little girls, one of whom attends the daycare where she works.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the daycare, the children swarm Maria with requests. She notices a boy named Shin‑kun looking down and tries to find out what is wrong, but he does not want to talk. Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work. Maria suggests she spend a day with Shin to reconnect, and Shin’s mother agrees. Maria promises to put together a plan by the weekend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Maria’s classmates tease her about being a widow with a love child, and she plays along before explaining she is helping a mother and son from the daycare. Later she presents her weekend plans to Shin’s mother, who is impressed and begins looking forward to the outing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, Maria goes to the park where she knows Shin and his mother should be. She watches as they struggle to connect: Shin wants to play in a fountain, but his mother cannot explain why he should not, and they end up standing awkwardly. Maria pretends to run into them and decides to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to the playground, where Maria encourages Shin to try a tightrope bridge. When he gets nervous, she prompts his mother to take his hand, and together they cross. After lunch, Shin’s mother gets a call from work asking her to come in on her day off. She agrees, and Shin looks heartbroken. Maria offers to watch Shin until dark, and his mother gratefully accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria takes Shin to various places, and he sadly remarks that his mother is too busy for him. Understanding his loneliness, Maria vows to make the day special. At the aquarium she convinces him to see a show he ends up loving. As evening falls, they stop for takoyaki, and Maria explains that his mother tells him not to eat while walking for good reasons. Shin finally understands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shin’s mother appears, explaining work no longer needs her. She admits she has trouble expressing herself, but Shin overhears and hugs her. They both confess they thought the other did not love them. Maria shares that she was often lonely as a child but still loved her parents, and she tells Shin’s mother she does not need to be perfect. Shin shows his mother the souvenir and the last piece of takoyaki he saved for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As darkness falls, Maria walks home alone. She reflects on whether she could ever be a good mother, remembering Kyubey’s revelation that her Soul Gem is her actual soul and her body is merely a vessel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mel&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mel stays home after her reading warns of lethal danger, but Kanagi dismisses her concerns and drags her to school anyway. On the way, a Witch targets only Mel before escaping, and a possessed car then attempts to run her down. She flees west into the Mizuno region, where Yachiyo saves her. Despite Kanagi&#039;s warnings about discrimination from the West, Yachiyo&#039;s kindness puts her at ease, and Mel accepts her invitation to stay. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she requests to join Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kanagi gives permission. From that day, Mel bonds with Mifuyu, Tsuruno, and Momoko as part of her new team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One other day, Mel arrives excitedly with entirely positive readings and offers to read the team&#039;s fortunes. Despite Yachiyo&#039;s skepticism, Mel coaxes her into a session predicting a career breakthrough.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Yachiyo announces with disbelief that she was chosen for a nationwide magazine feature on Kamihama&#039;s cafes. Mifuyu and Momoko then receive positive readings about a matchmaking and exam results.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes. Afterward they visit Mitama, who suggests they train in Endless Mirrors if they plan to remain independent rather than join Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Temari and Mikura commute to school exhausted. Temari stayed up testing a new metal pen, and Mikura correctly guesses she is in modern literature mode.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong.

** Ikumi explains how in middle school she dreamed of becoming an idol despite lacking talent, while her friend Yumi dreamed of volleyball. They realized they could fulfill each other&#039;s dreams instead. Yumi became a volleyball ace while Ikumi pursued idol training, though she struggled because her natural personality kept slipping through her cutesy act and she failed to gain recognition. Kyubey repeatedly offered her a contract, but she refused because wishing for her dream would mean she never achieved it through hard work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In high school, Ikumi worked at a school-organized maid cafe that gave struggling students performance opportunities.

When the cafe was forced to close due to building eviction, Ikumi grieved alone on the final night. Kyubey appeared and reminded her that her wish didn&#039;t have to be for her own dream.

** Her wish came true when the landowner, moved by the final performance, sold the cafe to the school who remodeled and reopened it. Later, while fighting a witch, Ikumi was saved by another magical girl who turned out to be Yumi. Yumi revealed she had wished for someone to recognize Ikumi&#039;s talents and give her an idol chance.

Yumi eventually joined too, and Mifuyu introduced them as Black Feathers to Ryo, who recognized Ikumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kush&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama’s adjuster shop, Karin Misono finds Kush sleeping inside the tent. Mitama explains that Kush cannot stay awake during the day due to her wish: “I just want the morning to never come.” Kush reveals she made her wish because she longed to live in a fantasy world like the one in her favorite book, &#039;Good‑Bye Fable,&#039; and her magical girl outfit resembles the story’s protagonist. Ui Tamaki and Little Kyubey arrive, and Kush briefly attacks Little Kyubey, mistaking him for the Kyubey she despises. Over tea, Mitama notices Kush’s long canine teeth stained red and later receives a message from her sister Mikage about a rumor of a vampire girl in the Hokuyo Mountains. Karin and Kush agree to investigate together, but Kush runs off to her night class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, the two meet up with Riko Chiaki and Ashley Taylor, who are making a horror video about the same rumor. The group searches the mountains at night. Kush can see in the dark and leads them, but she is still sleepy. They find a discarded camera containing a video of Rui Mizuki dropping it and disappearing. When a mysterious sound frightens the others, they accidentally leave Kush behind. Left alone, Kush eats cherry tomatoes and senses a witch. The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one. They also learn that Rui is Kush’s friend; she had filmed Kush entering the barrier before being caught by it. The group later glimpses a white‑haired silhouette and flees, thinking a real vampire might exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley posts a video warning others to stay away from the mountains. At Mitama’s shop, Ui hears about the incident and learns the vampire was just a misunderstanding. Meanwhile, Chika Aoba, whose animal traps and axe cuts the group had found, decides to move her work farther from the trails so she does not frighten anyone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Homura Akemi in Magia Record#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is flooded with more memories of her other self preparing for Walpurgisnacht with allies. She wonders if there might be a real possibility for salvation in this timeline, where no one has to be sacrificed. However, she believes it has nothing to do with her. She breaks out of the labyrinth and the dream ends. Kyubey asks if she was curious about what happened to her other self. Homura says it does not matter; she believes in Madoka&#039;s words that her efforts will not be in vain. A new universe is about to be born, and Homura must protect it for Madoka&#039;s sake. Kyubey states they will both forget Madoka, but Homura is determined to never forget her.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new universe where Witches do not exist, Kyoko is surprised to find Sayaka has disappeared. Mami explains the Law of Cycles causes Magical Girls to disappear when they lose hope. Homura cries as she remembers Madoka, but neither Mami nor Kyoko know who Madoka is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka spend the day together in Kamihama, enjoying each other’s company until they encounter Ria Ami, a model and magical girl who has already defeated the witch they were tracking. Ria invites them to tea and later takes them to the fashion district, where she notices that Homura’s attention never leaves Madoka. Admitting her jealousy, Ria says she wishes someone would look at her the same way, and Homura replies that she will protect Madoka. After Ria departs, Homura thinks that even if Madoka does not realize how cool she is, she will still save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Homura steals weapons from a group called the Soukaihou using her time stop, but she is caught afterward by Meiyui Chun, a magical girl affiliated with the group. Instead of punishing her, Meiyui thanks her for taking weapons that belonged to troublemakers and invites Homura to share mapo tofu. Over the meal, Meiyui learns Homura fights to protect someone precious to her and says she understands, offering her support and suggesting the spicy dish whenever the burden becomes too painful to bear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Homura is practicing her shooting alone when Natsuki Utsuho, a magical girl who cheers for others, offers to encourage her. Natsuki deduces Homura’s time stop ability and gives advice that significantly improves her aim. When Natsuki suggests Homura ask Mami to coach her, Homura calls, and Mami arrives within an hour. Mami uses her ribbons to move within Homura’s time stop during a sparring match, praising her rapid progress afterward. Homura agrees to return to Mitakihara with Mami, reflecting that she will keep moving forward to become a magical girl capable of protecting Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Sayaka arrives in Kamihama City to go shopping with Kyosuke Kamijou, though she insists it is not a date. When she hears a scream, she runs toward it and discovers Hinano Miyako at an empty elementary school. Hinano explains she was bumped on the head while setting up the chemistry lab, and Sayaka decides to help investigate. They find the culprit was a baseball that flew through the window from the baseball club practicing outside. Hinano returns the ball to a child and gives Sayaka a perfume she made, wishing her good luck on her date despite Sayaka&#039;s protests.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later in the shopping district, Emiri Kisaki approaches Sayaka, drawn by the perfume. After realizing Sayaka is not Hinano, Emiri offers to coordinate her wardrobe, claiming to be the &amp;quot;Cutest in the World.&amp;quot; Sayaka learns Emiri is also a magical girl but remains unsatisfied with the outfit suggestions, explaining the person she likes does not care about appearances. Emiri takes her to the top of a tower, where they view the city at night. Sayaka thanks her before heading to the train station, reflecting that her love is supported by the magical girls of Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the outing with Kyosuke arrives. After buying a CD, Kyosuke messages that his train is delayed. Sayaka fights a Witch she senses and meets Kokoro Awane, defeating it together. With time to spare, Kokoro invites her for tea. Sayaka shares that she became a magical girl to heal someone she loves, and Kokoro reveals she wished to bring her family together. Though problems remain, Kokoro believes she can unite them through her own power, and Sayaka finds strength in her words. When Kyosuke is about to arrive, Kokoro encourages her, and Sayaka runs to the station, feeling it will be a good day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mami&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day in Kamihama, Mami saves Kanoko Yayoi from familiars, and Kanoko explains her dream is to become a fashion designer.

* On a later day, Mami is approached at a cafe by Rika Ayano, who admires her fighting style and asks to be friends. They spend the day shopping and at an arcade, and Mami admits she has not enjoyed herself like this in a while. Rika reminds Mami of Kyoko Sakura, and Mami reflects on her friendships in Mitakihara. They exchange contact information and agree to hang out again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, after Mami fights off familiars, Nanaka Tokiwa confronts her, having heard rumors about the strongest Magical Girl from Mitakihara. Nanaka wants to team up or fight her, and Akira Shinobu arrives, also eager to challenge Mami based on exaggerated rumors. Mami agrees to fight them on one condition: they have tea with her first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When Manaka asks about her relationship with food, Kyoko is reminded of how her wish destroyed her family, but she simply says that eating is living and that she decided to survive no matter what. Kyoko admits she enjoys the cooking and promises to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kyokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura in Magia Record#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Ultimate&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart. She also finds Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, who were never supposed to become magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Panicking because she cannot prevent magical girls from becoming witches in this universe, Madoka investigates. She discovers the source blocking her intervention originated when the Holy Quintet first visited Kamihama, and she observes how Touka and Nemu—fated to die in every other universe—are alive and plotting with the Magius to lure Walpurgis Night to hatch Eve. Madoka reflects that their plan, if successful, would achieve what she herself accomplished. Unsure whether to intervene, she decides to investigate further and chooses Iroha as her next focal point, since this is the only universe where Iroha contracted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka observes Iroha’s past and finds the singular difference: on a normal day, Iroha took her usual shortcut but accidentally kicked a small pebble, nearly making her late. This tiny butterfly effect led to Iroha contracting and Ui, Nemu, and Touka surviving, derailing the universe’s fate. Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka decides not to interfere, fearing a clash that could destroy the universe. However, she laments that she may have no choice but to trample Iroha’s wish if this universe, now a singularity, threatens the stability of all other universes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* After contracting with Kyubey, Oriko foresees Madoka becoming Kriemhild Gretchen and ending the world. To prevent this, she begins manipulating events and people around her. She uses Yuma Chitose as a distraction to keep Kyubey away from Madoka, then later convinces Yuma to contract by claiming Kyoko is in danger. Oriko also recruits Kirika Kure as her pawn. When Kirika kills another magical girl, Oriko decides to use the murders to further distract Kyubey from Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Oriko Mikuni in Magia Record#Side Story|Oriko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Oriko has another vision revealing that Madoka is not in Mitakihara but somewhere else entirely. She witnesses a spatial distortion connecting Mitakihara to Kamihama City and begins to suspect Kamihama might hold the key to changing the future. Oriko sends Kirika to Kamihama under the pretense of buying tea, instructing her to gather information from Mami and other magical girls there. She then takes Yuma to Kamihama herself, leaving her inside a witch barrier knowing Kyoko will come to rescue her. While exploring Kamihama for answers, Oriko nearly dies inside a powerful witch barrier and realizes she needs Kirika&#039;s help to continue. Kirika eventually returns home safely, reporting that Mami and Kyoko are also investigating Kamihama and that the city has an unusually high number of witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They see photos from Ui&#039;s birthday party at the hospital, a Christmas when they had a flour snowball fight, and other memories. The girls tease Iroha for being a dork, and Iroha gets embarrassed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After cleaning, they take a break. Ui wants to have a party at the house, which has always been a dream of hers since she was hospitalized for so long. Iroha agrees. They buy cakes and cookies from a nearby pastry shop. Back at the house, they hold a small party. Yachiyo is worried about the cost, but Iroha says she and Ui paid with their allowance. They toast to everyone&#039;s help with cleaning. Felicia accidentally spills juice, and they laugh. As evening falls, they return to Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Ui receive a New Year&#039;s card from their parents overseas. They want to send something back but cannot decide how. Tsuruno and Felicia are watching a comedy show about an elderly couple sending video messages to their children. This gives Iroha and Ui the idea to record a video message for their parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They film their first video, but Yachiyo says it is too ordinary. Sana suggests making it more unique. Ui wants to introduce everyone at Mikazuki Villa to their parents. Iroha agrees. They try filming again with a script, but the takes go poorly—Yachiyo overthinks her cooking scene, Felicia struggles to tutor Ui, and Tsuruno is late. Ui suggests they abandon the script and just be themselves. They record a video of their daily life together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the video, Iroha and Ui perform a shrine maiden&#039;s dance they learned from helping at a shrine over New Year&#039;s. They tell their parents not to worry and wish them luck with work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s parents watch the video overseas. They are moved by seeing their daughters having so much fun. The father decides they will return to Japan this year to see their daughters in person. Iroha hopes her mother can see their shrine maiden dance next year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Kimono)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Mitakihara City’s school closing ceremony, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura walk out together. Sayaka is glad the term is over, Madoka is excited, and Homura admits she will feel lonely without seeing them every day. Sayaka ruffles her hair and says they can still meet over break, whether hunting witches or hanging out. Madoka suggests visiting Mizuna Shrine in Kamihama for New Year’s to draw “Ultimate Fortunes.” Sayaka has other plans but encourages them to go together. After she leaves, Madoka asks Homura if she knows how to put on formal wear. Homura does not, so Madoka invites her to a kimono‑dressing class she found, saying she wanted the two of them to dress up with Sayaka but lacked the courage to go alone. Homura agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class, the instructor dresses them first; Madoka thinks Homura looks beautiful, and Homura calls Madoka cute. When the actual lesson begins, Madoka struggles badly and trips, while Homura learns quickly enough that the instructor says she will have no trouble. Madoka takes a break outside, feeling useless. Sayaka happens by and asks why she wanted to dress up in the first place - to have fun. Sayaka tells her not to overthink; even if she makes mistakes, she will still have the memories. Encouraged, Madoka returns and finally manages to dress herself after another trip.&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year’s Day, both have their formal wear put on at a store. They joke that the class was interesting but not very useful for the real occasion. They take lots of pictures to show Sayaka, then wish each other a happy new year and go to Mizuna Shrine to draw fortunes. Madoka hopes everyone has a lucky year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka find themselves trapped in a strange dream—a life-sized board game set across Kamihama City. They must reach the goal by following the game&#039;s rules. There are no Familiars or attempts to harm them, so Homura suspects it is accidental mischief rather than a trap. They roll dice to move between squares and complete missions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Kimono)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;First Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They arrive at a shopping center. The mission is to deliver lost items from the New Year&#039;s sale to the Information Desk. They meet Aimi, who found a plain notebook with no name. Aimi worries it is someone&#039;s secret fantasy diary and does not want to read it. They take it to the Information Desk and complete the mission. Aimi mentions she is shopping for materials to knit a scarf or gloves for a boy named Hayato.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** They roll again and move to a new square. The mission is to reunite two sisters who failed to meet. They find Tsukasa waiting for her twin Tsukuyo. Tsukuyo forgot her phone and cannot remember the meeting spot. Madoka and Homura offer to find Tsukuyo. They find her, but Tsukasa has wandered off while waiting. The sisters fail to meet, and Homura and Madoka lose three turns. They eventually reach the Mizuna Shrine goal, but the game says they have not met the goal conditions and sends them back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Second Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They are back at the beginning, wearing their kimonos. They see their past selves from the first loop. The same mission appears—reunite the twins. They meet Tsukasa again, who remembers them from before and is confused by their kimono change. Madoka tells Tsukasa where Tsukuyo is, but Tsukasa runs off before Madoka can explain she should wait. They try to find Tsukasa but fail. The mission fails again, and they are sent back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Third Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes: buy a lucky bag costing one million Magica. They search for a store and take a break at a cafe. They see Ria being interviewed and overhear a boy named Hayato saying he needs a warmer scarf. They find Kokoro and Masara, who lead them to a stationery lucky bag. Kokoro mentions Tsukasa is still looking for Tsukuyo. Madoka wants to help Tsukasa, and Homura agrees. They find Tsukuyo, who has been wandering and dropped something important. They learn Tsukuyo dropped her exchange diary with Tsukasa—the same notebook Aimi found. The mission completes, but they are sent back to the start again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes again: help a child who lost something. They find Tsukuyo waiting. She dropped the exchange diary. Homura and Madoka take her to the Information Desk to reclaim it. Madoka remembers Tsukasa was last seen near a specific area. They wait there and finally reunite the twins. They also tell Aimi that Hayato wants a warm scarf. Everyone ends up happy. Homura and Madoka reach the goal without regrets. Homura reflects that she does not want the dream to last longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka learns the meaning of &amp;quot;When winter comes, spring isn&#039;t far behind&amp;quot; at the end of December. Just before New Year&#039;s Eve, Madoka asks if anyone has plans for the holiday. Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko and Nagisa meet the teacher and children at the park. The kids immediately recognize Kyoko, so the pair double down on the movie lie. The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the performance, Kyoko and Sayaka use quick‑change costumes while Nagisa sneaks discarded clothes off set. The children are awed by the glowing weapons and effects, explained with lighting tricks and soap bubbles. After the class leaves, the group reviews the footage and decides to keep a copy. Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko returns the props to Sayuki, then visits an aquarium to pass time. As she leaves, she spots the same kindergarteners, detects a witch, and rushes to fight it. She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She is hunting for discounted Valentine&#039;s chocolate. She visits Sugar Plum but finds the chocolate coins sold out. She runs into Kyoko. They keep encountering each other at multiple stores and realize they are both after the same Valentine&#039;s Day exclusive Pink Tapir chocolate coins. They form an alliance to share information and split the chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe (Valentine)#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Valentine Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Pink Tapir station store, a clerk informs them the sale has moved to a new outlet location and gives them a map. On the way, a delivery truck carrying the chocolate coins is possessed by a Witch&#039;s Kiss and goes on a rampage. Nagisa and Kyoko chase it, jump onto the truck, and enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Nagisa uses her forbidden technique to defeat the Witch. The truck and other vehicles are unharmed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the outlet store and buy the chocolate coins. Nagisa reflects on her memory of eating Pink Tapir chocolate coins for the first time at a hospital charity event when her mother was sick. She wonders if this universe&#039;s Nagisa would have had the same experience. She and Kyoko hurry to Mami&#039;s chocolate party. Kyoko reveals she bought a chocolate cake from Sugar Plum for everyone. Nagisa shares her pink chocolate coins. Mami is happy they are getting along. The next day, the chocolate hunt continues. At the outlet store, Ms. Saotome buys chocolate coins for a hospital charity event, continuing the tradition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Ria, Mayu, and Manaka give the sisters their rented beach space, and the sisters end up spending the day with Team Yachiyo in a water pistol shooting match. They have more fun than they expected, but Tsukuyo suffers a heat stroke and is cared for by the group after Tsukasa panics. When Tsukasa tries to repay the favor, Yachiyo jokes that she should quit the Wings of Magius, then smiles when Tsukasa refuses as expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Their final opponents are Miyako, Kokoro, Masara, and Ren, with Ren proving surprisingly athletic. Miyako’s team wins after Yachiyo avoids stepping on a rare hermit crab, but everyone agrees Tsukasa has repaid her debt, and the sisters admit they had a wonderful time. They end the day drinking juice Yachiyo bought for them and buying matching crescent moon accessories in different colors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

Momoko agrees, and Mitama immediately drags her out shopping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They browse swimsuits, but Mitama insists on choosing thoughtfully rather than buying on a whim. They separate briefly, and Mitama runs into Mikage, deflecting questions about what she’s doing. Momoko later admits she also had to make excuses after running into Rena and Kaede. Instead of buying swimsuits, Mitama brings Momoko back for an adjustment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the adjustment, they emerge in new swimsuits—Momoko’s tailored perfectly to her tastes, leaving her flustered but secretly pleased. Mitama teases her and admits she’s nervous but excited.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On contest day, Mitama and Momoko play on the beach. They learn the contest requires performing a shared beach memory with chemistry. They plan to tell the story of Mitama’s deserted island ordeal while Momoko adds her side of worrying. While playing, they fight a Witch together—the first time Mitama has teamed up with someone—then run straight into Rena, Kaede, and Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They win by performing the events of the day instead of their planned story. Rena claims the stuffed bunny, and Mikage gets the Candy World tickets, immediately inviting Mitama. Apologies are exchanged, and the others ask for no more secrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, while Mitama and Momoko clean up, Rena and Kaede take Mikage to get drinks. A girl from Mitama’s past confronts her: the one Mitama accidentally shoved down the stairs years ago. A crowd gathers, muttering rumors, but Momoko defends Mitama and the crowd disperses. The girl realizes it was an accident and offers to help clear Mitama’s name, but Mitama declines, saying she no longer needs it because she has someone who believes in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka arrives at a resort with her friends, carrying her mother’s challenge to do something she can only do now. After rescuing an old woman’s hat from the sea, she learns the hat was a gift from the woman’s daughter, Himari.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group spends the day swimming, building a sandcastle, and splitting into smaller activities. While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The girls complete the rally together, with the final photo taken at a sunflower field. That evening, a storm cancels the flower tour, but the photographer invites them to meet the next morning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the photographer leads them to a hidden pond where barringtonia blossoms float. She reveals this was the special place she and Himari had planned to visit. Madoka recognizes Himari’s name and, with her friends’ help, finds the old woman from the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The old woman and the photographer meet; the photographer confesses her guilt over their childhood fight, but the woman explains Himari never mentioned any quarrel—her illness suddenly worsened that day. The two women reconcile, and both thank Madoka for bringing them together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond. Madoka reflects that the thing she could only do here was to reunite the two women and give them peace. Her friends call her for one last swim, and she runs off to join them, already thinking of returning to the island someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story and Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
It has two versions I made, assimilate them if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomuradsSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At registration, Mitama announces all participants must wear swimwear, offering to transform their outfits for free. Homura is surprisingly excited, and Sayaka gets roped into wearing a ridiculous mushroom‑mermaid costume designed by Kanoko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many familiar magical girls attend as participants or catering staff. Hazuki reveals her hatred of worms, Konoha faints from watching bait wriggle, and various mishaps begin piling up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka in her costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The non‑waterproof suit causes Sayaka to be electrocuted by its built‑in fan, but her Doppel activates and saves her. The Doppel drags Yachiyo into the water, and Yachiyo begins water‑skiing using her fishing rod while being pulled around.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura manages to fish up the Doppel and wins the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other&#039;s backs. Homura happily agrees, ending the day on a warm note.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Homura confronts her Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying summer and relying on Madoka’s kindness. The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurads&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura visit a seaside villa on the outskirts of Kamihama. They meet Felicia and her friends briefly. After parting ways, they decide to visit an aquarium. They participate in an accessory-making workshop using star sand. Inside the aquarium, they meet Ashley, an exchange student from the United States, and Riko. Ashley recognizes them as Magical Girls from Mitakihara because she encountered their copies in Endless Mirrors. They chat and learn Ashley is making videos about kawaii things in Japan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Waverider)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After parting ways with Ashley and Riko, Sayaka wants to visit a CD store. She hopes to find rare CDs for Kyosuke. At the store, she reaches for the same CD as a woman. They discover they both use notepads to track CDs. The woman is Takamine&#039;s wife—Takamine was a violinist who passed away. She collects his recordings to show her daughter. They exchange contact information. Sayaka mentions the upcoming flea market.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Sayaka, Madoka, Homura, Mami, Kyoko, and Nagisa visit the flea market together. They meet Ashley and Riko again. They split into groups. Sayaka and Kyoko go together. They eat lunch and shaved ice. Ashley records their conversation. Madoka and Homura leave early for Witch patrol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka&#039;s group meets Takamine&#039;s wife and daughter. A strong wind blows the daughter&#039;s hat into the ocean. Sayaka and Kyoko transform into swimsuits and ride a surfboard to retrieve it, using Nagisa&#039;s floaty as a distraction. The hat is recovered. Takamine&#039;s wife realizes she lost her notepad. Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while waiting, Nagisa and Riko play with water guns. Sayaka&#039;s group relaxes on the beach. Madoka and Homura find Sayaka&#039;s copy in Mirrors. The copy lures them into a trap, but they manage to get the CD list from her and escape. They send it to Sayaka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring. They plan for future fights: Sayaka will handle Familiars, Madoka and Homura will immobilize the Witch, and Mami will finish it off. Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the team encounters a paramedic and a girl under a Witch&#039;s influence. They enter the Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. The paramedic wakes up and thanks them and the team slips away quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of school after summer vacation, Mami calls Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura to the roof. Kyoko and Nagisa fought a powerful Witch and retreated.

Mami will finish it off with her new firework attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The team rushes to school but is late.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The group swims, then Kyoko dominates the buffet. They discover a cliff diving spot, where Sayaka, Mami, and Kyoko take turns jumping while Madoka and Homura watch. They agree to return the day after next, since Madoka is busy the following day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ui improves, but a rip current nearly sweeps her away; Kyoko rescues her. Moved by Ui’s determination, Kyoko keeps training her until sunset, and Ui finally masters swimming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully. Later, Kyoko visits Mitama to revert her outfit, explaining she wants to learn swimming properly rather than relying on magic. She trades a Grief Seed for money to buy ramune as payment for a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Eternal Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;

===Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Momoko Togame (Sanctified)#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi meet again. Mitama shares her realization: her grief has ended. She now wants to make amends and carve a new future for Kamihama. They discuss ideas for the student conference. Kanagi suggests a sports festival. Mitama suggests a festival with food stalls. They joke about romance and love interests. Mitama feels lighter and ready to move forward. She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at the Wings of Magius, Alina asks Nemu to create a rumor for her. She will let it grow, then take it into herself and use it to achieve her greatest goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Touka and Nemu separately sneak to Ui’s room to leave apology notes. They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They first visit Mitama’s shop, where they meet Maria and Konomi. Mikage hands out sweets, crediting Lavi’s teaching, and Mitama permits them to visit the Mikazuki girls after receiving a cake. At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win.

They also realize the key in Maze Town was a &amp;quot;smile&amp;quot;—something Ren had lost along the way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game. Game Tsuruno is surprised, saying the actual people probably do not play the game anymore. They celebrate their success and set their sights on the next town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents. Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia return home and ask to hear the full story, so Yachiyo retrieves the scarf from the time capsule where she had hidden it years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Check on the days again to make sure how many days pass. It&#039;s possible it&#039;s all just one day&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami finds herself in a strange white fog, speaking with two other versions of herself. Holy Mami claims she has learned the truth about magical girls from Alina Gray and Touka Satomi and has found a way to save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami has tea with Touka and Alina at a house rented for her by Touka. Mami explains she has not returned to Mitakihara because her priority is releasing magical girls. Touka and Alina offer to lecture her on what she needs to study. Alina grows disturbingly excited discussing van Gogh&#039;s Sunflowers, and Touka lectures at length on mathematics until Alina interrupts. Mami reassures them she will ask for help when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina receives a call from the Amane sisters requesting help with a Witch. Touka asks Mami to assist, explaining she has a lecture to give at noon to recruit skilled magical girls. Mami agrees, reflecting that releasing magical girls requires Grief Seeds, protecting Rumors, and raising Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane waiting for her. They explain the Witch has moved and the Black Feathers are monitoring it. A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren plan for their friends’ Christmas party a week away and promise to spend Christmas Eve together. While looking at options in a magazine, they cannot decide on a place. Ren buys the magazine to think it over, privately hoping to choose somewhere that will make Rika happy, though she doubts whether she truly belongs beside her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ren visits Emiri’s consultation room but finds only Akira and Ria Ami. She explains her dilemma, and Ria takes her around town to evaluate possible locations. They rule out a restaurant, an amusement park, and a romantic cafe, eventually settling on the Minagi Aquarium. Ria is surprised to learn Ren is planning an outing with Rika, not a boyfriend, but Ren leaves feeling confident in her choice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Christmas Eve, Rika attends a party with her school friends. When she mentions she will spend Christmas Eve at the aquarium with a friend, her friends press to join, but Rika refuses. She advises them not to look for boyfriends just to avoid being alone. Later, while walking with her friends, Rika spots Ren chasing after Aimi Eri. She follows and finds Ren comforting Aimi over a misunderstanding involving a boy; the situation resolves without trouble.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Ren waits for Rika, who messages that she overslept with a fever. Ren worries Rika became sick chasing after her the day before. Before she can reply, Aimi finds her, and they go shopping together. Aimi encourages Ren to visit Rika instead of staying apart. Ren goes to Rika’s house, knocks on her window, and insists they spend Christmas together there so Rika can rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They exchange gifts: Ren gives Rika scented candles, having noticed Rika’s interest from a sticky note, and Rika gives Ren a glass candlestick. Rika hopes they can visit the aquarium another time, and Ren leaves happy to have shared Christmas with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, assimilate them if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumor Tsuruno begins designing the park, adding a merry-go-round, roller coaster, spa, shops, and a cafe. The mascots warn that once the park is complete, she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world. Rumor Tsuruno claims no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she imagines comfort foods with hot pot as the main star, she is reminded of Mikazuki Villa. She brushes it off and completes the park. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Uwasa Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana looks at a Mr. Purrs-a-lot picture book and feels down. Ui notices and asks what is wrong. Sana admits she wants to become a picture book author to help people who are suffering like she once was. She has many ideas but does not know how to write them. Ui encourages her. Sana says she is starting from zero and needs to practice writing. Ui suggests she settle on one main idea. Sana recalls a story about the Rice God from Yachiyo and decides to write a practice story about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana writes a story about the Rice God punishing Felicia for not finishing her rice. Ui enjoys it. Sana realizes she also needs to entertain readers while conveying her message. She decides her first picture book theme will be &amp;quot;friends.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana and Ui discuss the main character. Sana models her after Ai, the Uwasa of the Anonymous A.I. She names the heroine Aoi. Sana writes the first part of the story: Aoi leaves the &amp;quot;Land of Beginnings&amp;quot; and arrives at the &amp;quot;Land of Blessings,&amp;quot; where residents constantly fight. Aoi suggests a picnic to help them understand each other. The residents grow closer. Ui enjoys the story. Sana reveals she wants to leave behind proof of Ai&#039;s existence before she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana asks Nemu for permission to use a character modelled after Ai in her picture book. Nemu agrees, saying she is happy Sana wishes to preserve Ai. Nemu advises Sana on how to become a published author: enter contests or approach publishers directly. Sana becomes discouraged when she realizes she would have to interact with people who cannot see her. She leaves feeling hopeless.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana wanders alone, feeling invisible. She helps a girl find a lost ring but is not noticed. She thinks her dream is impossible. Tsuruno, Felicia, and Ui find her, worried because she was not answering calls. Iroha and Yachiyo also arrive. Nemu calls and suggests Sana could use an agent to communicate with publishers, avoiding direct meetings. Sana regains her resolve. Yachiyo tells her not to give up on her dream. Iroha and the others promise to support her. Sana realizes she has a family to help her get back up.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana finishes her first picture book, &amp;quot;A Small Encounter.&amp;quot; The story follows Shana, an invisible girl who is found by Aoi and makes her first friend. Sana decides to show it to everyone and get their thoughts. She promises to keep persevering for Ai&#039;s sake and for everyone who supports her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 1 (Flashback/Reflection)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi wakes from a nap and remembers the dream she had when fused with the Kimochi. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words that helped her realize she had not truly given up.

** Lavi reflects on the hope she once held—a daydream of a peaceful life where magical girls are understood. In that dream, she helped her mother, tended fields with her grandfather, watched Urara&#039;s street performances, and attended exhibitions with Shirogane. She encountered other magical girls: Asahi, Haitani, Kuroda, Urara, and Alexandra. They fought witches together and enjoyed everyday moments.

Due to a scheduling mistake, everyone arrives at the same inn on the same day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Everyone shares the meal and enjoys the evening together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She announces they will compete over the meat and create a new future with all of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane complain about being overworked as guardians of a Rumor and fear the anger of Touka, Alina, and Nemu. They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

** Over time, Mitama receives many gifts from Magical Girls, including Kokoro, Reira, Mito, Felicia, Ayame, Kako, Yachiyo, Karin, Himika, Rika and Emiri, the last of whom says that when people share their favorite things, it means they want to share what they love with Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;

** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;

===Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin|Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One winter’s day before Christmas, Rika and Ren go shopping together. The town has no Christmas decorations and people seem depressed. They hear a distressed voice and find Mitama, wearing a Santa&#039;s beard and hat, and she introduces herself as a Christmas Spirit. Mitama says her job is to make everyone happy, but the task is too big. She gives Rika and Ren some of her magic, explaining that the magic requires them to be perfectly attuned to each other, and then she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, a swallow Familiar appears, claiming to be Mitama’s pupil and Rika names him Chirpie. Chirpie explains that Mitama saved him when he fell from his nest and gave him magic. He can sense cowardly hearts lacking courage and Rika and Ren must drive out ten cowardly hearts to make the town happy. Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chirpie leads them to Felicia and Sana, who had accidentally smashed a cake and are now arguing about who should apologize to Yachiyo. Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines|Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 13th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mitama is away from her shop, but Tsuruno is there, using the kitchen to make chocolate bonbons with a friend. She plans to surprise everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 14th:&#039;&#039;&#039; On Valentine&#039;s Day, Tsuruno gives beautifully wrapped chocolates to Iroha, Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana and Ui at Mikazuki Villa. Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rise of the Waning Moon===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Rise of the Waning Moon|Rise of the Waning Moon]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day during lunch break, Kanagi goes to Himika’s classroom, telling her she just wanted to see her face, which Himika finds strange.&lt;br /&gt;
** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===Finding Our Formula===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Finding Our Formula|Finding Our Formula]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Hinano and Emiri attend a chemistry event. Hinano is excited to see a chemist who reminds her of the woman she idolized as a child—a tall, long-legged lady who taught fun chemistry experiments. Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic|Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls finish dinner. Tsuruno and Felicia complain about going to the same public pool every summer. Yachiyo receives a phone call from a distant relative who runs a hotel. The relative needs help cleaning the hotel pool because the usual staff are sick. Yachiyo hesitates due to her modeling schedule. The girls offer to help. Yachiyo calls back and confirms they will come.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group arrives at the hotel and Yachiyo&#039;s relative, an older woman, greets them warmly. She says she used to hang out with Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river. Tsuruno and Felicia compete to see who can clean faster, inventing names for their techniques. Yachiyo scolds them for being inefficient. They eventually work together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha slips and falls but is not hurt. Felicia sprays Yachiyo with the hose and Yachiyo chases her. After a few hours, they finish cleaning. The relative rewards them with fluffy shaved ice.&lt;br /&gt;
** The pool is now clean and filled with water. The girls swim and play. Tsuruno and Felicia bring water guns and spray Yachiyo. Yachiyo chases them and gets out of the pool to walk upstream, eventually catching them. They all have fun.&lt;br /&gt;
** As they leave, the relative thanks them but reveals the pool may not open after all due to unforeseen issues. Everyone is shocked.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic|Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic]]&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls are about to leave when the relative reveals the pool may not open because support staff from the southern islands are delayed by a typhoon. Tsuruno volunteers the group to help until the staff arrives. Yachiyo worries they might cause trouble, but Iroha, Ui, and Sana want to try. They agree to help. Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the next day, the group arrives at the pool for opening day. Yachiyo handles reception. The ticket scanner malfunctions and a line forms. Mitama appears—she had plans with Iroha that were canceled. She offers to help and fixes the scanner by hitting it. The staff member returns and takes over.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama notices Yachiyo has something on her mind and suggests she talk to someone she trusts. Iroha later asks Yachiyo to help with a crowded lunch area. Ui is taking orders with Sana&#039;s invisible help making drinks.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral. Yachiyo admits she was worried about everyone but sees they are doing fine. Iroha tells Yachiyo it is okay to worry because she cares, and they can solve problems together. Iroha notices Yachiyo has been down and offers to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
** A foam machine malfunctions, spewing foam everywhere. A guest slips and falls. The group splits up to clean the foam and help guests. Mitama fixes the machine with a whack. The support staff arrives. The girls finally have time to enjoy the pool.&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models. She does not know what to post and is shy about taking selfies. Iroha suggests posting photos of herself and takes pictures of Yachiyo on a float with the sunset. Yachiyo is embarrassed but agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Tsuruno want a turn on the float. Everyone climbs on, and Mitama takes a group photo just as they all fall into the water. Iroha loves the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the pool photos are popular online. Yachiyo&#039;s manager says going to the pool was a good move. Yachiyo thanks Iroha and says she might take her up on being her photographer again. She sends the group photo to everyone. Iroha says the photo may not be &amp;quot;social media-worthy&amp;quot; but it captures who they are. They agree to go back to the pool again—summer is just getting started.&lt;br /&gt;

Tsukuyo researches the costs of a two-person household and is shocked by how expensive it is.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo falls asleep while daydreaming about living with Tsukasa. Her grandmother finds her fantasy budget notebook and accuses her of planning to run away with a boy. Her training hours are increased, and her smartphone is confiscated. Tsukuyo is unable to contact Tsukasa. She runs away and ends up at the shrine, but Tsukasa is at school.&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback (Before Magical Girl). Tsukuyo is overworked with club activities and training. She is exhausted and collapses. She wakes up in the hospital with her sister beside her. Tsukuyo remembers how she first met Tsukasa. She was playing her flute at the shrine when she saw a girl who looked just like her. They discovered they were twins, separated at birth. They became close and talked openly with each other for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo too formal and uptight, while Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukuyo was devastated. She received a harsh message from her grandmother, punishing her for being absent without permission. She broke down crying, saying she was not a puppet for her grandmother to order around.&lt;br /&gt;
*On another day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa both collapse and wake up in the hospital. The pediatrician confirms they are twins. They reconcile and make a wish to Kyubey to never again hate each other.

* Several days later, Tsukasa tells Tsukuyo she does not know the details of how the Magius intend to save them. She shares the full ending of the story they studied—the couple takes their own lives because they fear their love will fade. Tsukasa suggests they do the same. Tsukuyo is horrified but realizes they have no other way out.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night they decide to die, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa meet at the shrine. They decide to destroy their Soul Gems together. They hold hands and count to three. Mifuyu arrives in time to stop them. She begs them to live and fight for their freedom together. She says the Wings of the Magius may be small, but they will grow. Tsukasa and Tsukuyo agree to join the Wings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Return to the present) Tsukuyo reflects on how much has happened. She knows she must always be there to support Tsukasa, who can be unpredictable. She dreams of their future together—a happy ending where they live together, free from family, regional disputes, and Magical Girls. She knows it may be a long way off, but as long as she has Tsukasa, she believes they will get their happy ending.&lt;br /&gt;

Tsukasa refuses and runs away. She ends up at the shrine, but Tsukuyo is at school. She remembers how she first met Tsukuyo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before Magical Girl). Tsukasa is overworked with school, chores, and finances for the workshop. She is exhausted and collapses. She wakes up in the hospital with her sister beside her. Tsukasa remembers how she first met Tsukuyo. She was playing her flute at the shrine when a stranger warned her about Witches. She then saw a girl who looked just like her. They discovered they were twins, separated at birth. They became close and talked about their struggles.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo stuck-up and obsessed with appearances. Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized and loud. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukasa&#039;s resentment toward her family grew. She fell into a Witch&#039;s snare but was saved by the stranger from before.&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo both collapse and wake up in the hospital. The pediatrician confirms they are twins. They reconcile and make a wish to Kyubey to never again hate each other.

Mifuyu arrives in time to stop them. She begs them to live and fight for their freedom together. Tsukasa and Tsukuyo agree to join the Wings of the Magius.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa returns home. Her father apologizes for being too harsh. Her marriage interview is postponed until after graduation, and life returns to normal. Tsukasa dreams of her future with Tsukuyo—a happy ending where they can laugh together, free from family, the east-west conflict, and Magical Girls. She knows it is still a long way off, but as long as she has Tsukuyo, she will be okay.&lt;br /&gt;

* Nanaka Tokiwa reflects on her life. Pride and traditions long preserved by the Tokiwa family, head of the Kashin school, were lost. Exacting revenge to reclaim it was how it all began, but she could not have foreseen the true enemy lurking in the shadows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka faces a formidable Boss Witch with her team. They withdraw due to exhaustion. Later, at Blossom, Kako worries about the Witch hurting someone. Nanaka says they need a new strategy. She buys flowers for a floral arrangement. She receives a message from Meiyui about new Magical Girls causing trouble in Sankyo Ward.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Nanaka meets with Konoha&#039;s team to discuss territorial disputes. Hazuki wants to maintain an agreement that all participants share Grief Seeds equally. Nanaka agrees but only to avoid unnecessary conflict. She sees Hazuki&#039;s personal motives and decides to do her a favor. After the meeting, Nanaka explains to her team that she wanted to observe everyone&#039;s opinions for future use. She reflects on her past—her father fell ill, his pupils took over the school, and the Tokiwa family was left in the dust. On his deathbed, her father asked her to reclaim the school. She wished for the power to evaluate who her enemies truly are. She discovered the true enemy was a Witch she named Locust. She formed a team to seek revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day after the negotiation, Nanaka arranges flowers while thinking about the two main issues: the Boss Witch and the territorial disputes. Meiyui sends her news that a plan has come together. Later, Ayame is caught crossing into Chuo Ward. Nanaka scolds her and takes the Grief Seed to return it to Chuo Ward. She meets with Hinano, asks her to keep the incident quiet, and Hinano agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Nanaka tells Hazuki&#039;s team that the matter is settled. Hazuki&#039;s team apologizes. Nanaka suggests continuing discussions with all Sankyo Ward Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka holds a meeting. Some members want to abolish the agreement because it hinders teamwork. Nanaka agrees to first-come, first-served, adding that the first team to discover a Witch has both the right and duty to defeat it. Her team questions her decision, but she says they will see soon enough.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hazuki&#039;s team confronts Nanaka. They were forced to defeat the Boss Witch because of the &amp;quot;duty&amp;quot; clause. Hazuki says Nanaka played them. Nanaka admits she knew they could do it. Hazuki says they have scores to settle. Hazuki also mentions the Witch was strange, like it was being manipulated. Nanaka realizes the Locust is not just one Witch—the true enemy is its puppet master.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several months later (present day) Nanaka reflects that her Locust revenge story is over. The puppet master can no longer do harm. But something else is starting to creep from the shadows of Kamihama City. She will have to find out what comes next.&lt;br /&gt;

===Kako Natsume&#039;s Heartphial Story: N&#039;s Confession===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kako Natsume reflects on her life. She lost Natsume Books and her peaceful days once. But she is no longer the fearful girl she used to be. She is a girl who can choose to protect what is dear to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kako is 13 years old. Her parents run Natsume Books, a used bookstore. Books are a huge part of her life. One day, she sees Nanaka loitering by the mailbox, looking distressed. Nanaka drops a letter in the mailbox and runs off. She tells Kako to read the letter. Kako remembers the words &amp;quot;Kill her&amp;quot; and wonders why.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako recalls her past. Her family was not wealthy, but they were happy. Her father recommended books, and her mother helped her study. Then tragedy struck. A riot over land grabs broke out. Harassment of those who objected got worse. Discord grew within the community and even within their home. Her father was wound tight. Then their house was set on fire. Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
** She met a girl named &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; N told Kako who was responsible and what she needed to do to destroy them. Kako clung to her. She later learned N was manipulative and saw others as pawns. Kako hates N and wants revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found herself in a Labyrinth. Nanaka fought off Familiars but was overwhelmed. Kyubey offered Kako the chance to become a Magical Girl. Nanaka told Kako through telepathy to decide for herself what she wanted. Kako realized she hated feeling helpless. She wished to see her family smiling again and to get Natsume Books back. She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kako learned Nanaka faked her struggle to entrap her into making the wish. Nanaka had pulled this trick on others to use them as pawns. Kako could not forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako and Nanaka fought Witches together. Nanaka encouraged Kako and told her she was better suited to being a Magical Girl than Nanaka was. Kako wanted to get stronger. Nanaka wrote a letter confessing her deception and asking Kako to kill her. Kako made up her mind to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka. She returned it unopened, saying it seemed wrong to read something Nanaka only sent by accident. Nanaka smiled and said Kako was dazzling. She said she would try to tell Kako her feelings in person someday.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako thinks Nanaka overestimates her, but she is no longer as scared and helpless as she used to be. She is a Magical Girl who protects the city by Nanaka&#039;s side.&lt;br /&gt;

* A few days later, Rena calls Himika. She saw the Baby Bunny pouch in a crane game at an arcade. Himika, Kako, Ayame, Rena, and Kaede go to the arcade. The pouch is in the replenishment case, meaning Himika must win all the Mocha Bunnies already out to reach it. Himika decides to use a strategy but is short on money.&lt;br /&gt;

Hazuki delivers the worksheets. Nanaka suggests they should share information without secrets. Hazuki agrees to try building trust, but she remains wary.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki arrives at the school camp. She is assigned to orienteering setup with Nanaka. They are paired together by random draw. They work through checkpoints. The map notes are outdated, and they get lost. It starts raining heavily.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the storm, the rope bridge collapses due to the rain. Hazuki and Nanaka cannot cross the river. They find an old shack for shelter. They huddle together for warmth. Hazuki shares her past: her parents died in an accident when she was young. She was shuffled between relatives until she ended up at Azalea House. She learned to hide her fear behind a smile. The director taught her to smile when her heart truly felt it. She met Konoha and Ayame there. They became family. They made wishes to protect Azalea House and left to live together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka listens quietly. She says she finally understands Hazuki&#039;s true self. Nanaka grows pale and cold. Hazuki worries she might collapse. Hazuki insists they huddle closer. Nanaka admits she is cold. They wait together.&lt;br /&gt;
** The rain stops. Akira and others find them at the shack. They are taken back to camp. The nurse checks them. Hazuki and Nanaka are cleared to stay. Nanaka is grateful for Hazuki&#039;s help. Hazuki teases Nanaka about being excited for pillow fights. Nanaka jokes back. They agree to enjoy the rest of camp together. Hazuki realizes she has seen a different side of Nanaka.&lt;br /&gt;

===Ayame Mikuri&#039;s Heartphial Story: Runaway Adventure===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame Mikuri reflects on her life. Azalea House was a place that showed her real love. When she knew nothing about family, that place taught her warmth. She was not going to turn her back on it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame writes a letter to the Director, the late head of Azalea House. She explains that she, Konoha, and Hazuki are Magical Girls now. Konoha warns Ayame to stay away from Nanaka&#039;s team after a recent incident. Ayame agrees but secretly plans to meet up with Kako anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayame and Kako meet in secret. They are friends but cannot openly hang out because their teams do not get along. Ayame complains about the situation. Kako shows her a book about ocean adventures. Ayame becomes curious about whether the ocean boils when the sun sets. They decide to go to the beach together to find out.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame and Kako take a train and a bus toward the beach. Ayame is excited. Konoha calls and texts repeatedly, but Ayame ignores her. They get off the bus when it breaks down and take a detour. They discover a field of sunflowers. They share cup noodles together. Ayame turns off her phone. Kako also ignores Nanaka&#039;s messages to focus on their adventure. They finally reach the beach and watch the sunset together. Ayame still cannot tell if the ocean boils, but she is happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback - Azalea House) Ayame dreams of the Director. She remembers the day Azalea House was going to be torn down. The Director had already passed away. Konoha, Hazuki, and Ayame met Kyubey and decided to become Magical Girls. Ayame wished for Azalea House to stay open forever. Konoha wished to eliminate all threats to it. They decided on a third wish: to have everyone at Azalea House forget they were ever there. They left the orphanage and started living together. Ayame remembers Konoha&#039;s promise that they would always be together. She reflects on her conflict with Konoha over her friendship with Kako. She wishes the Director could tell her what to do.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame wakes up at Kako&#039;s relatives&#039; house. Konoha has arrived. She found Ayame by asking Nanaka to track Kako&#039;s location. Ayame refuses to go home, saying Konoha has been stifling her. She promises to tell Konoha where she is next time. Konoha apologizes. She did not realize how her words were making Ayame feel. She promises to talk things through with Hazuki and Ayame. Kako is relieved. Ayame treasures the memory of her adventure. She promises never to forget it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Masara Kagami&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Flame Kindled in the Vastness===&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara Kagami reflects on her life. After becoming a Magical Girl, not much felt dramatically different. But encounters and experiences since have changed her. She thinks her dull and pointless life has just gotten a little more colorful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara finds the world boring. She is good at swimming but lacks passion. Kyubey appears and offers her any wish. She wishes for a load of money and becomes a Magical Girl. She fights Witches, and the excitement fades quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara meets Kokoro Awane in a Labyrinth. Kokoro is uncomfortable with Masara&#039;s reckless fighting and tells her to protect herself more. Masara says she does not care if she dies. Kokoro says her family would care. Masara questions why Kokoro blames herself for her family&#039;s problems. Kokoro asks if they can stick together. Masara agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a Witch hunt, they&#039;re attacked by a Witch and Masara takes a hit to protect Kokoro. She gets a scar. She starts avoiding Kokoro because she does not understand her feelings. Mitama explains that Masara fears seeing Kokoro get hurt, so she avoids her to prevent that pain. Masara realizes she fears losing Kokoro, so they reconcile.&lt;br /&gt;
* The swim club announces the relay team. Masara is chosen but declines, saying she is not good at team sports. Koshino, who has always been second to Masara, is chosen as her replacement. Koshino vows to beat Masara&#039;s record.&lt;br /&gt;
* While Kokoro and Masara go on patrol, they see Koshino training alone after school hours. Koshino tells Masara she beat her personal record. Masara is puzzled by Koshino&#039;s passion.&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Masara passes Koshino training again. They start talking about her times regularly. Kokoro notes that Koshino will never catch up to Masara&#039;s times. Masara wonders what drives Koshino.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days before the competition, Koshino beats Masara&#039;s record once. The swim club captain praises her. Masara feels something but cannot identify it. She is not annoyed. She does not know what she feels.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day before the competition, Koshino has an accident and cannot compete. Masara agrees to take her place. She is surprised by her own motivation. Kokoro notices the change.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the competition, Masara swims well. Her team finishes second, but she was in the lead when passing the baton. Koshino comes to watch and thanks Masara for doing the race for her. Kokoro says Masara has changed. Masara decides she wants to keep swimming a while longer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika Ayano&#039;s Heartphial Story: Haunting Love, Haunting Mistake===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika Ayano reflects on her life. She does not want to feel like she became a Magical Girl for nothing. She got to see what dating is like and made loads of friends. But sins do not wash away so easily. That is the price you pay for a miracle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback, but the entirety seems like mostly a flashback) Kyubey offers Rika any wish in exchange for becoming a Magical Girl. Hinano warns her not to do it, but Rika ignores the advice. She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Riko Chiaki&#039;s Heartphial Story: Worked Out with a Woof===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki reflects on her life. Even though her mom and dad were hardly home because of work, she never felt lonely as long as Miss K was around. She cared about her so much that she just wanted to help her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback) Riko helps out at her parents&#039; bento store. She is close with Miss K, the daughter of the hardware store owner next door. Miss K has always been like a big sister to her. Miss K cries to Riko that her father opposes her marriage because he does not want her to move far away. Riko wishes to Kyubey for Miss K&#039;s marriage to be accepted. She becomes a Magical Girl. Miss K gets married and moves away. Riko misses her but does not regret her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Riko goes filming with Ashley. She tells Ashley about Miss K. She explains that Miss K&#039;s father never fully accepted the marriage, and they have not made up. Riko receives a message from Miss K saying she was in the hospital because she was pregnant. She invites Riko to visit her new house. Riko goes and meets the baby. Miss K asks Riko to be friends with her child. Riko becomes like a big sister to the baby. She feels happy that her wish came true but is sad Miss K and her father never reconciled.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko walks Mameji and sees Miss K&#039;s father standing outside the hardware store, looking sad. She wonders what is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley advises Riko to ask Miss K directly if she wants to make up with her father. Riko texts Miss K and asks to meet. Miss K replies that she will come to Riko&#039;s town instead. Riko is excited.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Miss K visits Riko. They talk about her father. Miss K says she wants to make up with him but does not know how. Riko suggests inviting him to meet the baby, giving him a present, or going on a family trip. Miss K doubts any of it will work. They walk to Riko&#039;s store together. They encounter Miss K&#039;s father outside. Riko admits she asked Miss K to come so they could patch things up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Miss K&#039;s father reveals he brought a herbarium to Riko&#039;s store. It was originally meant as a gift for his grandchild, but he could not bring himself to deliver it. Riko realizes Mameji had been guiding her this whole time. Earlier, Mameji had barked at the cake that turned out to be from Miss K&#039;s father. Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky. She realizes she is dying, having protected Yachiyo. She remembers how everyone was fighting for dear life. She wished she were stronger to help them. She is sorry for not being stronger. She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley vlogs with Riko&#039;s help. She films herself shopping for Magical Kirin merch and gurokawa items. After editing and uploading the video, she replies to comments from her followers. She thinks about her father and hopes he is watching.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley remembers the day she wanted to study abroad in Japan. Her father refused without giving a clear reason, which was unusual. Kyubey appeared and offered to grant any wish. Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko notices Ashley seems down. She worries Ashley is overworking herself by vlogging daily and replying to comments late at night. Ashley says it does not feel like work because she loves it. She thanks Riko for being a kind friend. They go out to film another vlog.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley continues vlogging daily. She worries about skipping a day because her followers might unfollow her. She wakes up to find Kumanosuke missing. She panics, feeling like her world is ending. Riko arrives with a bento and finds Ashley crying. Ashley explains she lost Kumanosuke. Riko comforts her and says it is okay to skip a vlog.

They decide to search for Kumanosuke.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko suggests Ashley ask her followers for help finding Kumanosuke. During a live stream, a commenter suggests rewatching her previous vlog. Ashley realizes she left Kumanosuke on a chair when she got distracted by a crane machine. They find Kumanosuke on a shelf at the store, dressed in Waloli Gurokawa clothes. Ashley gets him back. She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call|Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wait, You Got It Wrong!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayu Kozue&#039;s most treasured possession is a bear pendant her father carved for her before he died. When a hand-drawn postcard is stolen from the museum where she works, security footage shows her friend Ria at the scene moments later. Mayu cannot reach Ria and suspects a Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~|Wait, You Got It Wrong! / Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While searching for Ria, Mayu encounters Asuka Tatsuki, whose family&#039;s invaluable book of secrets was also stolen. A witness described a blonde girl in a Mizuna uniform—Ria. They find Sayuki Fumino crying over her stolen sword book, then Rena Minami who was bumped by the same girl. At Walnut&#039;s restaurant, Manaka Kurumi accuses Ria of stealing a rice omelet. A Witch barrier appears, and after Mayu and Asuka defeat the Familiars, Ria arrives demanding to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka challenges Ria to a duel over the thefts, and Ria loses. She confesses to something embarrassing, and everyone assumes she means the thefts—but she meant a binder of idol clippings she desperately hopes no one saw. She was only chasing the Witch to recover her own stolen belongings. Relieved, Mayu and Asuka join her. They track and defeat the Witch, recovering most items, but the museum postcard, the dojo book, and Ria&#039;s binder remain missing. They agree to search again tomorrow. That night, Mayu dreams of her father, who tells her material things are destined to break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, thefts continue across the city. Mayu realizes the Witch they defeated was only a Familiar and the real Witch is still out there. She offers her precious pendant as bait to track it. Despite Ria&#039;s protests, Mayu uses it, and they follow the magic trail to the Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After a difficult battle, they recover all stolen items, though Mayu&#039;s pendant is scratched and its chain broken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu is unbothered. She explains that material possessions naturally break, but the memories they hold remain in her heart—a lesson from her father. Asuka and Ria are moved, and Mayu turns to walk home, promptly falls into a lake, and flounders while Ria sighs that she has not changed at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor she calls Miss K. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Miss K with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Miss K&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Miss K to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Villa. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;
~A Little Break For Us~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===This is The Warmest Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha is going about her day when Sana, Felicia, and Ui present her with a pinwheel and ask her to blow on it. Though confused by their strange behavior, Iroha does as they ask and the girls thank her before quickly scampering off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~#This Is The Warmest Day Login Special|This is The Warmest Day]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts. When Yachiyo asks Iroha&#039;s opinion, Iroha expresses her love for shortcake and suggests they bake one immediately, but Yachiyo insists she wait for the right moment, which will come sooner than she thinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Lavi is shopping when Nayuta finds her to share news about her math test score. They return home where Lavi prepares dinner, and Nayuta discovers Lavi earned perfect scores in every subject, highlighting the gap between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House|The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day while Lavi runs errands, Nayuta confides in Mikage about her fears that Lavi only respects her father and secretly resents serving her. Seeking answers, Nayuta visits Mitama, who suggests that kindness and broad-mindedness are the traits she needs to develop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Nayuta observes how hard Lavi works attending school, studying, handling housework, and fighting witches. Worried she might collapse, Nayuta offers Lavi time off for her upcoming sixteenth birthday and secretly plans a surprise party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later on Lavi&#039;s birthday, Nayuta and Mikage struggle through cleaning the house and preparing a celebration. Their efforts are interrupted when Lavi returns early for lunch, scolds them for the mess, but leaves again at Nayuta&#039;s insistence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Lavi returns that evening, the handmade kusudama falls onto the cake and catches fire. Lavi extinguishes it with water, and Nayuta is left mortified as her surprise party fails spectacularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Nayuta senses lingering coldness from Lavi and struggles to find the right way to apologize. Remembering her father&#039;s example, she decides to catch and cook a fish as an apology gift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day at a fishing center, Nayuta encounters girls from the Tokime clan who teach her how to gut fish. Despite being disturbed by the process, she perseveres and eventually catches the exact fish she wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning home late, Nayuta discovers a threatening letter addressed to Lavi and deduces it must be connected to the serious trouble from Lavi&#039;s hometown. She rushes to the market street with Mikage to protect her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the market street, Nayuta confronts the man speaking with Lavi, declaring herself as Satomi Tasuke&#039;s daughter to intimidate him. The man reveals he is simply a stalker with no connection to Lavi&#039;s past, and when he becomes agitated, Nayuta tackles him unconscious as a crowd applauds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Nayuta presents the cooked fish and apologizes. Lavi admits she was barely angry anymore and thanks Nayuta for protecting her, acknowledging she was just like her father in that moment. Nayuta produces a second kusudama and cake, and this time the celebration succeeds. As they pick confetti from the cake, Lavi quietly says she will continue to admire Nayuta until the final day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Art 02 01 0003 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune. The Rumor says that if you receive the book and find a drawing of yourself, the sketched event will happen and if you try to stop it, a creature named Ketch drags you into the book. Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One summer morning, Mitama is at her shop and she has set up a small café corner called Hot☆Corner. The cat, Doyle, is especially attached to her lately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery|The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day|Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Rumored Temp Counselor===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

===Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away|Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

Sakuya confesses she killed her best friend in the war and must remain alone to avoid hurting anyone else. Ryoko declares she will save Sakuya by becoming her best friend, and they fight until exhausted. That night, Sakuya dreams of her deceased friend, who thanks her and tells her to move forward. She wakes to find Ryoko collapsed from hunger, and they talk for hours like ordinary friends. Though they agree they cannot meet again until the battles are over, they promise to become true friends then.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Shizuka is embarrassed to see her photo distributed around town, but Chiharu reassures her the photo is cute and the experience gave them a happy memory. They spot a feature on the chocolate shop Shizuka visited and decide to bring all the Tokime girls next time. The newspaper also includes messages from other magical girls offering homemade chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Bittersweet AI Memory#Kamihama Chocolate Girls|Kamihama Chocolate Girls]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage is delighted to see her photo in the newspaper and finds it funny that the article claims she made chocolate with her sister. Mitama suggests it was artistic license. Mikage wonders if she might become famous but worries about sketchy people, and Mitama jokingly offers to beat them up. Mikage asks if they can make real chocolate together, but Mitama needs to go to her coordinator shop. Mikage promises to do things that make her sister smile instead, and Mitama suggests they make Valentine&#039;s chocolate together next year. Mikage eagerly agrees to practice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choc&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Promised Blood&#039;s base, Yuna notices her teammates have been acting strangely, as Sakuya reads romance columns, Juri studies constantly, and Urara stares at Hikaru without speaking. After the meeting, Yuna confides in Hikaru that she feels guilty for not noticing everyone&#039;s exhaustion and decides to solve each person&#039;s problems personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend. Though relieved it&#039;s not her own love life, Yuna insists on helping anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s place, the group brainstorms confession advice. The conversation shifts when Ao receives a text from her parents—she&#039;s been lying to them about her late nights as a magical girl, claiming she&#039;s in an e-sports tournament. To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the online tournament, chaos ensues as Juri attacks teammates, Hikaru sets the kitchen on fire, and Yuna fails at selling merchandise. Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the student council meeting, Yuna honestly requests more time to handle personal matters, promising to dedicate herself fully afterward. The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka-senpai&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Day in the Life of Madoka-senpai===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

==Magia Record Events==&lt;br /&gt;
===See You Tomorrow===&lt;br /&gt;
* One morning at the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira greets an older neighbor who warns her about increasing danger in the area. Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them.

** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sea is a Link Through Time /  The Call of the Open Sea===&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. There&#039;s two different versions at hand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Momoko and Mitama arrive at a resort near a village with a legend about a Diviner who eloped with a sailor and sank with stolen treasure. Mitama reveals they are actually there to hunt for this treasure based on a fairy tale Mikage heard. While exploring the private beach, they encounter Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao from the Tokime Clan, who stumbled there by accident. The group decides to spend the day together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|The Call of the Open Sea]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, they attend a festival in a nearby village that turns out to be a branch of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka learns the villagers consider Diviners a superstition. Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Big Sis, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Felicia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward. Kyubey finds a fuming Felicia, who decides to hire herself out as a mercenary to other magical girls for money or Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Felicia Mitsuki#Side Story|Felicia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia encounters Asuka and Sasara and defeats a witch for them, but they let her keep the Grief Seed and leave without paying, leaving her frustrated. Kako appears, concerned, but Felicia rejects her harshly and immediately regrets it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia helps defeat the witch and collapses from exhaustion, silently vowing to destroy every witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Touka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art. The Amanes are relieved, and Tsukuyo suggests they play their flutes at the shrine on the way home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo thinks the flute&#039;s song has always warmed her heart, while Tsukasa reflects it is a bridge connecting her to her sister. Both affirm that their only allies are each other, and they will always be together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends. Before Hibari&#039;s family moved away, she performed a charm ritual on Aru and promised they would meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message that Hibari is coming to visit Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After some confusion about directions, they reach the arcade where Hibari wins a crane game prize and helps Juri win one too. Hibari suddenly becomes pale and goes to get change, but she does not return. Kagome calls her and Hibari thanks her for being friends before saying goodbye, with an ambulance audible in the background.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome discovers a crowd under a Witch&#039;s Kiss heading toward a rooftop and sends emergency messages to every Magical Girl she knows. Himena&#039;s group arrives to help hold back the crowd, but other girls cannot come due to similar incidents elsewhere. Shizuka finally checks her phone and rushes over with the Tokime Clan just as someone threatens to ignite kerosene. They stop the crowd while Juri and Ao defeat the Witch with Livia&#039;s help. The Witch&#039;s Kiss is lifted and Hibari wakes up confused, with Livia covering that she collapsed from anemia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari admits she felt faint because seeing Kagome surrounded by friends made her happy but also made her feel left behind and alone. Kagome insists Hibari is wrong and promises to come running whenever Hibari is in trouble, asking them to stay best friends forever. Hibari reveals the two wishes she made when they parted came true: that she could speak her mind loudly and that Kagome would make lots of friends. They renew their promise to remain best friends forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari. They bonded over a shared love of &amp;quot;The Adventure of Mandragora.&amp;quot; Hibari gave Kagome a Mandragora plushie named Al-chan and asked to be friends. Kagome learned ventriloquism through Al-chan and grew more confident. The two became inseparable.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kagome&#039;s family moved due to her father&#039;s job transfer, Hibari put a charm on Al-chan with a secret wish. They promised to meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message from Hibari saying she will visit Kamihama. Kagome prepares to show her around.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives in Kamihama. Kagome is happy to see her. They go to the arcade. On the way, they run into Himena and her group. Kagome introduces Hibari. Later, Kagome helps Shizuka, who was lost and struggling with a foreigner. Hibari is impressed by how much Kagome has grown.&lt;br /&gt;

They promise to remain best friends forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

*Day 2 (Flashback)&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna explains that Juri lost to her and her senpai, which is why she joined Torayamachi. The group hunted Kyubey to stop him from recruiting Magical Girls. Kyubey agreed to leave Futatsugi. With Kyubey gone, Witches decreased, creating a Grief Seed shortage. Yuna proposed an expedition to find new territory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri&#039;s stress and anger built up without an outlet. Yuna introduced Juri to a shy but capable girl who admired Juri. The girl agreed to spar with Juri to help her release stress.

* Day 3&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri&#039;s father came home late, discussing his upcoming land deal and boxing match against an old rival. He said he could not ignore past stains and needed to win.

* Day 4&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri struggled at school, frustrated by classmates who avoided conflict and teachers who enabled them. Her anger built up. She reflected on how she became a Magical Girl—she wished for a patient, stout heart to stay in school and not burden her father. The wish gave her patience but did not eliminate her anger; it built up as flames until she exploded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl Yuna introduced continued to spar with Juri. The girl revealed Juri had saved her from a Witch, and she admired Juri. Yuna appeared, and Juri realized Yuna had set up the arrangement to help her release stress. Juri still felt unsatisfied.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 5&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri prepared for their duel. Ryuugasaki and Torayamachi factions learned of the fight and gathered to watch, tensions rising. Juri&#039;s father won his boxing match and land deal. Juri and Yuna fought. Juri screamed that she wanted to fight the Yuna who had defeated her, not her ally. The girl rushed in to stop them. Juri&#039;s attack could not be stopped, and she fatally struck the girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 6&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri was in shock. The factions argued, blaming each other. Juri silenced them, declared she would leave Torayamachi, and announced Ryuugasaki&#039;s independence. She told her followers to follow her. Yuna said she hated Juri. Juri said she had put a nail in Yuna&#039;s coffin and dared her to pry it out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 7 (Present Day)&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri explained the rest of the story to the group. The accident triggered the Blood Tragedy of Futatsugi. Ranka had been exploited by Monzenbashi Bat, and Ao formed Janomiya. Juri reflected that the recent months had been the toughest. She came home late again. Her father asked about her absences. Juri said she was fighting for the future and would explain in a few months. She reflected on how much she and her father were alike, both unable to ignore past stains.

===Shizuka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime trio goes shopping and stops by Emiri’s office, where they meet Hinano and Kanoko. After awkward introductions, Shizuka admits she does not know what a factory is, so Kanoko explains. Emiri asks what country life is like; Chiharu and Sunao give different answers from Shizuka since they are more familiar with modern living. They mention meeting only recently, surprising Emiri. Shizuka proudly explains they are bound by their duty to protect Japan, and Emiri says, “As long as you have no regrets, it’s okay.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The comment makes Shizuka pause, because she never considered regrets; she had eagerly accepted her wish to break an economic agreement without understanding it, trusting it was for Japan’s good. After thinking it over, she searches for information with help from others, but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hinano explains that because the agreement fell through, local manufacturers like Kanoko’s father stayed in business, so there was little news. Chiharu and Sunao arrange a meeting at the factory and bring Shizuka. Kanoko’s father tells Shizuka his factory would have failed otherwise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Shigure and Hagumu grow close but quickly become jaded. Their families and classmates resent their constant lateness, which comes from Magius work no one can know about.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Hagumu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hagumu reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. After Walpurgisnacht, the organization dissolved, and many former Feathers joined the Kamihama Magia Union. Hagumu is uncertain, as she believes in Magical Girl Supremacy and cannot accept the Union&#039;s ideology of liberation without sacrifice. Shigure contacts her, asking to meet and talk. Shigure wants to convince Touka and Nemu to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Hagumu is conflicted—she cannot trust the Magius after being exploited, but she also cannot decide what to do. She asks for time to think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hagumu Azumi#Side Story|Hagumu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu meets Maria, a former Magius member who joined the Union. Maria notices Hagumu looks unwell and offers to listen. Hagumu explains her dilemma: she cannot agree with the Union&#039;s ideology, but she also cannot follow Shigure&#039;s plan. Maria suggests Hagumu ask other Magical Girls how they decided. Hagumu recalls her wish was made in haste to save a woman under a Witch&#039;s Kiss, and she regrets not choosing a better wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Moka why she joined the Union. Moka says she joined because she was invited and everyone is kind. Hagumu sees Moka is honest and never doubts people, which is why everyone supports her. Hagumu realizes they are completely different—Moka has people who protect her, while Hagumu feels she has nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Yukika, a former Black Feather, why she declined the Union. Yukika says she did not want to drag others into trouble. Hagumu sees Yukika has strong convictions and follows them, unlike herself. Hagumu feels more discouraged.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches. Hagumu is moved but asks for more time to discuss it with Shigure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hagumu senses a Witch and goes to help. She sees Riko, an elementary schooler, defeating the Witch on her own.

She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Miyuri&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena, Alexandra, Hagumu, and Shigure watch as San stretches Miyuri. Miyuri&#039;s loud reactions draw attention. Himena asks about Miyuri&#039;s inline skating. Miyuri explains she started skating as a child because she was bad at running and her parents bought her skates. She fell in love with the feeling of cutting through the wind and quickly improved, eventually competing in freestyle competitions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Miyuri Yukari#Side Story|Miyuri&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s social anxiety worsened. She began experiencing panic attacks at competitions and could no longer compete. Her parents signed her up with the Hikarizuka Youth Association to help her interact with people. There, she met San for the first time. San invited her to dance practice. Miyuri fainted from overexcitement while watching San&#039;s legs. She realized she had a leg fetish and that it triggered her anxiety. She began avoiding San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s skating practice suffered. Her mother suggested she visit the Community Center. Miyuri avoided San again and went outside to practice skating alone at night. She felt free and happy while skating. San saw her dancing in the moonlight and was mesmerized. San decided she wanted to help Miyuri grow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish. San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri learned her new power shortened her experience of anxiety. She became more confident but still fainted easily. She fought Witches alone, often blacking out and going berserk.

San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training. Touka and Nemu suggested San should train Miyuri since she could still hear San&#039;s voice when unconscious. San agreed and became Miyuri&#039;s instructor. Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Her wish saved the field and gave hope to others. She admits her improved health was partly due to becoming a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The meal is delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After making the newspaper, Nayuta and Mikage fall asleep. Lavi reflects on her past. She reveals that she never found joy in living despite her family&#039;s efforts. Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true. She asks for a little more time in her beloved daily life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The Tokime Tribe holds a celebration to welcome Asahi. During introductions, Chiharu rambles excitedly about her favorite shows, and Asahi finds herself intrigued. When pressed to share more about herself, Asahi talks about hunting and the importance of minimizing suffering. That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun. Everyone apologizes, and they end the day with a shared dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She organizes a surprise birthday party for him with her classmates. He is genuinely happy and thanks her. He realizes she planned it. She tells him all the students respect him. He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra continues her jokes and attempts to get closer to the teacher. She jokes about marriage and asks for a date on the school trip. He unexpectedly agrees to go shopping with her for a few minutes. She hugs him in excitement. A classmate spots them on the rooftop. Rumors spread quickly. The principal calls the teacher in. He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra cannot wake up from the dream. She imagines the teacher scolding her for playing with his feelings. She decides she needs to apologize in real life. She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love. She tells him her feelings were not a deception—they were true love. She thanks him for a wonderful time and says she now only places her faith in Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Urara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara volunteers to do grocery shopping for Lavi. At the supermarket, she gets distracted by flash sales and buys beef, bean sprouts, and curry ingredients. She forgets Lavi&#039;s shopping list. Lavi forgives her but asks her to be more self-controlled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Urara Yume#Side Story|Urara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Urara and Lavi travel to Yukuni. Urara loses her wallet, but Lavi finds it. At the agency, Urara&#039;s manager asks her to coach a children&#039;s diabolo class as a final job. Urara accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the diabolo class, Urara teaches the class alone. Some children struggle to follow her teaching style. Lavi, Alexandra, and Asahi watch from a distance. During lunch, Urara admits she cannot explain techniques well. Lavi analyzes the wrist angles and timing, and the others offer to help. The class is a success.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Urara feels inadequate and misses her former partner, Kurara. She remembers Kurara was better at teaching. Lavi notices Urara is depressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At the agency, Urara confronts Kurara. Kurara reveals she always resented being compared to Urara&#039;s natural talent and felt like &amp;quot;Not-Urara.&amp;quot; She says breaking up the duo was for the best and asks Urara to stop involving herself. Urara is devastated. She returns to Kamihama and cries to Lavi, who comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Urara receives a message from her manager. A girl named Rei from the diabolo class wants more lessons. Urara agrees to meet her. Rei wants to learn the &amp;quot;Urara Special&amp;quot; to beat a prodigy her age. Urara remembers how she unknowingly hurt Kurara by copying her tricks too easily. She decides to coach Rei properly. Lavi offers to stay and help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Nayuta&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta dreams of proving folkloric studies superior to Touka, but Lavi wakes her with obnoxious humming. Lavi scolds her for being a deep sleeper and rushes her to school in Takarazaki City, where Nayuta complains that Lavi acts like a stern stepmother rather than a kind maid her age.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In class, a self‑assessment exercise has Nayuta describe herself as quiet and diligent, but her peers call her stubborn, someone who hates losing and speaks her mind. She reluctantly accepts “stubborn” fits her persistent search for her father. The teacher introduces the Johari Window, explaining that without communication people understand themselves at most fifty percent and others only twenty‑five percent—a lesson that sticks with Nayuta.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Nayuta meets Iroha at the train station. Both are surprised the other remembers them. They discover they are the same grade and both hail from Takarazaki, and Iroha mentions she also searched for a lost loved one. Nayuta requests to see Yachiyo, apologizing for her bluntness. Iroha reassures her, noting they are both stubborn junior‑high girls from Takarazaki who came to Kamihama to find someone important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Yachiyo has no new information about Nayuta’s father. Tsuruno has Nayuta show a photo, but no one recognizes him. Felicia suggests Nayuta simply ask Touka, since she also grew up at Satomi Medical Center. Nayuta refuses, saying she cannot trust Touka, and apologizes for her stubbornness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Nayuta admits to Lavi she slept poorly because she cannot stop thinking about Touka. Mikage arrives, upset after a fight with Sudachi: Mikage complained about school, Sudachi said she envied Mikage for being able to attend, and they argued over whose position was harder.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home. Lavi approves of her standing her ground, and Nayuta realizes she and Lavi are more alike than she thought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Himika tells her about Emiri’s counseling center, so they go there together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the center, Emiri, Sasara, Asuka, and Kanoko are delighted to meet Mitama’s little sister. Mikage explains she is looking for a friend, but Emiri points out they are already her friends. After some banter about fashion, Mikage tries on Kanoko’s outfits and has a wonderful time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mikage wonders if the older girls truly see her as a friend or just as a kid. Himika suggests she meet girls her own age like Ui, Touka, and Nemu, though Mikage is uncertain about befriending the geniuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When she returns home, Mitama warns her that Ui has been kidnapped by Promised Blood and forbids Mikage from associating with the Kamihama Magia Union. Mikage reluctantly agrees but is frustrated her efforts to make friends have been stopped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama leaves for work and Mikage accuses her of hypocrisy—Mitama can spend time with the KMU while Mikage cannot. She runs out, declaring she will find a new big sister. She finds Emiri’s office closed but runs into Rika and Ren, who quickly realize she is Mitama’s sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Mikage bond over fashion and go to some cheap stores, where Mikage realizes she left her wallet. They play a crane game instead, and Rika wins stuffed animals for Ren and Mikage. Mikage asks Rika to be her big sister; Rika declines but encourages her to talk to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory. Kanoko lets her help make a pendant, but before Mikage can convince her to become her sister, Mitama arrives and drags her home. Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any. Later, she finds Mitama has made all her favorite foods, and they reconcile off‑screen; Mikage gives Mitama the pendant she made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage declares she will not give up on making Kamihama Magia Union friends. She then decides that since Lavi and Nayuta are older, they can be her big sisters instead. They exchange a look and agree to treat her for one day. Mikage expresses her hope that someday she and Sudachi can play with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited again. She jokes about the visitor&#039;s persistence. Yozuru and Sudachi return from stocking up on essentials. Sudachi trips, and Yozuru hesitates to help. Livia instructs Yozuru to help Sudachi stand and dust her off. Yozuru apologizes and explains she is not equipped with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the trailer, Yozuru offers tea. Sudachi wants teacakes. Livia allows them to have some as a treat. Livia reflects that she needs to help the girls mature. Yozuru has lost compassion, while Sudachi needs to find her words. Livia believes they will complement each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is found sleeping and crying. Yozuru gives her a handkerchief. Livia says crying in sleep happens occasionally and is common among Coordinators. She thanks Sudachi for finding her dropped ring. Sudachi sulks when Livia refuses to give her sweets as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the ring is a treasure and a way of reprimanding herself. It is the reason she lives for &amp;quot;Mister Sun.&amp;quot; She says she may tell the full story another time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia shares her philosophy: no matter how awful life is, do not drift in a bad direction or relieve resentment with a curse. Magical Girls are born from hope and must overcome struggles with hope. She warns against corrupting purity and urges supporting those with pure hearts. She says she has said enough for now and will share the rest when she is ready. She asks the visitor to promise to live strong, face forward, and not end up like her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This is also belonging to the anime partly. Write the main part on the magia record and then the second part on the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices. Kyubey, whom she calls a talking cat, keeps urging her to make a contract, but she does not know what to wish for—though she finds herself wishing God could speak to humans like Kyubey does.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the boy reads the fairy tale Kuroe recommended. He questions a detail in the story, but Kuroe simply accepts it because the writer says so. He jokes that he feels alive because Kuroe thinks so deeply, meaning it as a compliment. Later a teacher asks about her high school plans; Kuroe claims she has decided, but she is merely following her family’s expectations and secretly does not want to go to high school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe dreams of Iroha, though she cannot understand her words. Her Doppel reflects that her contract gave her affirmation of existence, yet she still does not feel like anyone - she simply adapts to whatever situation she is in, resented by no one and dependent on no one, but still wondering who she should be.

Kuroe wakes up wondering why she dreamed of the camping trip, and she calls Iroha, deciding she wants to connect with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroeds&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Doppel Story|Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sasara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara is taken hostage at knifepoint in a convenience store. Despite her desire to be a knight, she is too terrified to act. Though the police arrest the criminal and she is safe, Sasara feels ashamed and hates herself for her cowardice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sasara Minagi#Side Story|Sasara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sasara meets Kyubey and when he makes his offer, Sasara accepts without hesitation. As her father works for an emergency rescue squad, a job she admires, he gave her a favorite picture book about a knight who defeats a dragon to save a village. Sasara carries this book everywhere and has always wanted to be like her father and the knight. She wishes to become a knight who can protect and save people, asking for a stronger heart and stronger convictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Sasara has been hunting witches and saving their victims ever since making her contract. She calls herself the Knight who protects the people of Kamihama, but over time her feelings become tainted. The people she rescues never remember what happened and do not acknowledge her. Sasara realizes she wants someone to appreciate her and questions whether she really wanted to become a knight at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book. She thought she could accept the people she helped not talking to her, but now it feels like she does not even exist. When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nanaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Needs to be re-checked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako to ask for their help fighting a witch they all share a connection to. To explain why she needs them, Nanaka tells them how she became a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka&#039;s father headed a traditional Japanese flower arranging school, but when he fell ill, senior students took over and grew the school&#039;s popularity while abandoning its traditions, shutting out Nanaka&#039;s family entirely. On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform. She decided to lay the Soul Gem with its owner&#039;s body, and when she placed the gem in the girl&#039;s hands, the girl began breathing again. Later, Kyubey explained that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Kyubey asks if Nanaka will tell the others this secret, but she says she is waiting for the right moment. Nanaka then reflects that her true revenge target is actually Kyubey himself. Her power makes it clear he is her enemy, though she does not know all the details, and she is waiting for the right time to turn against him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Nanaka&#039;s team is still unable to find the witch. Akira reports meeting a magical girl mercenary. As the girls plan their next move, Nanaka muses about how she is gathering the determination of magical girls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuku enjoys time with her friends but feels disconnected from them and uncertain about her future. She finds comfort in Fūnī, a traveler who visits her family&#039;s cafe and shares his dream of finding a place to belong. When he invites her to search with him, she feels hopeful that she will not be alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She stays for dinner and overnight, observing how the five girls live together like a family. Yachiyo invites her to stay as long as she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku realizes the other girls have found their place to belong, but she understands that her own place was with Fūnī. She cries as his last words finally make sense to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, Shizuku ends her arrangement with the unknown magical girl and returns to Yachiyo&#039;s house, hoping she can stay there. When she arrives, the house is empty, and she sees the personal items that mark each girl&#039;s place. Overhearing them return, she realizes their home is complete with five people and she does not belong there. She leaves quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and the others had prepared a welcome party with cake, but Shizuku never comes. Yachiyo senses that Shizuku might disappear if you look away and admits she should have seen this coming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku returns to the unknown magical girl and asks for more work. When asked why she came back, she says their picture was complete with five people and she must keep searching for where she belongs. She mentally apologizes to Yachiyo, knowing her actions will cause disaster but feeling unprepared to take responsibility. She wonders if she will ever find solid ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Akira wakes from a dream about being attacked by a familiar and finds Sasara Minagi nearby, who is out for a walk. Sasara offers to help Akira search for an old man&#039;s lost cane, recalling she saw children playing with a red cane, and the two head off together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akira Shinobu#Side Story|Akira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** When Akira started middle school, a girl asked her to be a bodyguard against a stalker. The girl brought her to a park, confessed her love, and admitted to lying about the stalker. Akira politely rejected her, saying she didn&#039;t know much about that sort of thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The day Akira found the barrier, she retraced the girl&#039;s steps in the park and stepped into a witch&#039;s labyrinth. She found the missing girl among blank-faced victims marked by a Witch&#039;s Kiss.

** A few days later, Nanaka called asking for a favor. When they met again, Nanaka requested a duel, claiming Akira was weak and should quit hunting witches. Akira refused, citing her family&#039;s dojo, and they dueled. After some fighting, Nanaka ended the duel and apologized. She explained she wanted to test Akira&#039;s resolve and invited her to work together as a team. Akira relented after Nanaka claimed she was troubled and couldn&#039;t fight witches alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After contracts of: Kako, Manaka&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A documentary crew follows Ria Ami, whose natural beauty causes crowds to part, though she admits she has no basis for comparison when asked about her challenges. Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ria asks Manaka to be her bodyguard while buying the magazine featuring her article, wearing sunglasses to avoid being seen. Inside, she discovers her article occupies only one page, while Yachiyo has an eight-page spread. Furious and convinced Yachiyo did it on purpose, Ria tears the magazine in half, and the clerk charges her for it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;riass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ria Ami#Side Story|Ria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Though Manaka initially resists, Ria suggests letting her try. &amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsumugi Wakana#Side Story|Tsumugi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, Tsumugi shows her reviews receive mixed responses, with some accusing her of exaggeration. She asks Ria for help, explaining that many favorite restaurants from her childhood closed due to low clientele. As Tsumugi enthusiastically describes food, Ria realizes she has potential as a critic and proposes a strategy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Tsumugi has been training with Ria&#039;s help, visiting different restaurants and improving her reviews. Her blog has gained more followers. Meanwhile, Manaka feels she hasn&#039;t reached her father&#039;s level as a chef but refuses to discuss it, insisting a chef cannot ask a diner for advice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and Ria eat at Walnuts. Manaka is surprised by Tsumugi&#039;s improved reviews and lifts any implied ban. Tsumugi wants to fill Walnuts with people, but Manaka says she prefers just Tsumugi coming to enjoy her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi proposes promotional ideas to help Walnuts, including using Ria&#039;s modeling. Ria agrees, and Manaka will seek her father&#039;s approval.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they organize &amp;quot;The Rice Omelette Festival&amp;quot; at Walnuts. No customers arrive for the first half hour. Customers eventually come, but they are from Ria&#039;s advertising. Tsumugi becomes sad, feeling she is not as strong as Ria.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the event, Tsumugi cries and confesses disappointment that none of her followers came, feeling she is just an average student with no unique qualities. Ria encourages her not to let failure discourage her, insisting she has talent. Tsumugi decides to make a contract with Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Manaka and Ria fight familiars in a witch&#039;s barrier. Tsumugi suddenly appears and uses her new magic to consume a familiar&#039;s attack, gaining power from it. The three defeat the witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Walnuts afterward, Tsumugi honestly criticizes Manaka&#039;s omelette, explaining her wish now forces her to tell the truth about food. In a flashback, she wished to help Manaka by learning what she could do. She realized she needed to give objective criticism to truly help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Tsumugi helps Manaka close Walnuts. She notices Manaka changed the recipe based on her feedback. Manaka appreciates Tsumugi&#039;s constructive criticism and asks her to continue eating her food so she can become a better chef. Tsumugi excitedly agrees, happy she can eat Manaka&#039;s delicious food every day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ren&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren stands on a rooftop, contemplating suicide. Kyubey warns her that if she repeats her previous actions, her Soul Gem will be destroyed. Ren understands. She thinks about how people have always said hurtful things and believes she cannot live in such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nearby, Rika defeats a Witch and sees Ren about to jump. She saves her and asks why she wants to die. Ren cannot answer. She reflects on her childhood: she has always had trouble speaking and was teased and bullied for it. She attempted suicide once before but was scared of dying. Kyubey appeared and granted her wish to live.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explained that the bullying was caused by a Witch&#039;s influence—Witches hurt people, who then hurt others. Ren resolved to destroy Witches to create a better world. However, no matter how many Witches she defeated, people still acted cruelly. Kyubey told her that even destroying all Witches would not remove malice from people&#039;s hearts. This is why Ren wanted to die again, but she cannot explain any of this to Rika.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika takes Ren to meet other Magical Girls. At Emiri&#039;s Trouble Consultation Office, Ren meets Akira but cannot introduce herself and nearly cries. Emiri brings her to Ria, who gives her hand cream, and Konomi, who gives her chamomile tea. Rika then takes Ren to the chemistry club, where Hinano gives her candy instead of medicine. They visit Kanoko at her family&#039;s metal factory, where Kanoko shows a dress she designed with mushroom motifs and gives Ren accessories made of metal sheets. Emiri leaves, and Rika admits she never actually listened to Ren&#039;s problem.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika shares her own story: she wished for someone she loved to love her back, even though that person already liked someone else. She says she stole that love with a selfish wish and asks Ren if she thinks she is a horrible person. Ren manages to say she does not think so. Rika is relieved. She explains that to get others to open up, you must share the secrets that create distance.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren tries to tell her story but cannot get the words out and begins crying. Rika tells her not to force herself. She shows Ren all the gifts she received from the others and says that if all these people were thinking about her, she should continue to live. She says the world is filled with both bad and beautiful things, and the most painful thing is to have nothing. Ren says she will live. Rika leaves, and Ren thanks her. Ren thinks that if Rika can accept her story, she will be able to live forever.&lt;br /&gt;

===Konoha&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoha manages the finances and makes decisions for Hazuki and Ayame. When Hazuki calls to say she&#039;s stuck at meetings and suggests take-out, Konoha decides to cook instead to save money. Despite Hazuki&#039;s warnings, Ayame tries Konoha&#039;s cooking. Later, Hazuki returns to find Ayame sick; Konoha learns Ayame was too polite to refuse the food. Hazuki offers to handle meals from now on, which prompts Konoha to resolve that she will learn to make delicious food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konoha Shizumi#Side Story|Konoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha buys cookware and studies cooking theory, suspecting Hazuki might be a cooking prodigy. She makes a disastrous meal incorporating everything she read, and Hazuki collapses after tasting it. Ayame brings home a flyer for a cooking class at &amp;quot;Youshoku Walnuts,&amp;quot; noting that the food there made Hazuki cry. Ayame encourages Konoha, and Konoha resolves to take the class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Konoha meets the teacher, Manaka Kurumi, at the restaurant. Manaka attempts to teach knife skills and how to crack eggs, but Konoha struggles with both. Manaka promises to help her improve. She has Konoha make practice dishes, but Konoha burns oil, over-dashes rice, and explodes miso soup, so Manaka has to take over each time. When finished, Manaka tastes it, insists it&#039;s good to protect her reputation, eats it all, and passes out. Konoha tries the leftovers and confirms it is truly terrible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha hunts a witch with her team while distracted by thoughts about cooking. After they defeat it, Himika Mao arrives late, introduces herself, and asks if they are sisters; Hazuki explains they are not. Himika mentions she is thirteen with five younger siblings. When Ayame asks about being an older sister, Himika invites her to meet her family. Konoha asks to come as Ayame&#039;s guardian upon learning Himika cooks for her family, and Himika accepts. Hazuki says she will prepare dinner at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, at Himika&#039;s house, Konoha and Ayame observe the cramped living space. Himika explains she uses cheap leftover meat blends from a disposal man to feed her family. She serves dinner, and all her siblings along with Ayame eat. When Konoha asks if the food is tasty, the siblings say they never think it&#039;s bad because Himika does her best. Konoha reflects on Azalea&#039;s House and realizes she was too focused on theory rather than on who she was cooking for. She thanks Himika and leaves with Ayame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, Ayame and Hazuki find Konoha cooking again. Konoha promises to give up if she fails this time. Focusing on her feelings rather than theory, she makes a meal from Azalea&#039;s. Hazuki and Ayame try it and say it&#039;s bad, but it&#039;s edible. Konoha is excited that someone could actually eat her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ayame returns home to find Konoha cooking again. Hazuki observes that Konoha has found joy in the act of cooking. Konoha narrates that she learned cooking is about heart, and could now make food people could finish. She thinks cooking is fun, though Ayame and Hazuki sometimes scream loud enough to startle the neighbors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Konoha attempts beef stroganoff, a dish Hazuki admits is difficult. Hazuki and Ayame try it and collapse. Konoha says she will redo it. She narrates that experience matters, and wonders what to try next.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hazuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame meet with Nanaka, Meiyui, Akira, and Kako at a restaurant to discuss how to handle situations where both teams target the same Witch. Meiyui proposes a first-come, first-served rule, but Hazuki points out it would lead to disputes over who arrived first. Ayame suggests settling conflicts with rock-paper-scissors, and though Meiyui argues there&#039;s no time for games in battle, Hazuki has them try it on the spot. When Ayame and Meiyui play, Meiyui uses a martial arts technique to change Ayame&#039;s hand, causing an argument between the groups. Hazuki calms everyone down and suggests they go home for the day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hazuki Yusa#Side Story|Hazuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls reconvene at the restaurant. Hazuki proposes a new rule: anyone who uses magic against a Witch gains proportional rights to the Grief Seed. Both teams agree, and Hazuki suggests they gather data by hunting together. They split into mixed teams—Ayame and Kako form one; Hazuki, Akira, and Meiyui another and Konoha and Nanaka stand by to help as needed. After the successful joint hunt, Nanaka meets with Hazuki alone at the restaurant. She reveals she believes Hazuki manipulated the entire situation from the first meeting, noting that her team was impressed with Hazuki&#039;s group&#039;s teamwork but that she herself was more struck by Hazuki&#039;s modus operandi. Nanaka asks why Hazuki orchestrated everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki admits she wanted Konoha, who is introverted, to connect with others and that after the Witch fight, Konoha seemed genuinely happy. She explains her goal was simply to build connections between her group and other Kamihama Magical Girls. Nanaka accepts this and says she&#039;s glad to work with her. Later, Hazuki writes in her notebook that Nanaka is shrewd but fascinating, and she resolves to continue reaching out to other Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ayame&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame encounters Felicia during a Witch fight, and their rivalry quickly escalates when Felicia dismisses Ayame&#039;s challenge to lead the girls to argue and accidentally let the Witch escape. Frustrated by losing to Felicia specifically, Ayame confronts her afterward, and despite Kako&#039;s attempts to mediate, the two insist on settling things through some competition. Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch. Emerging back in the park, Felicia thanks Ayame, and they realize the race was never finished. They resume, but Ayame admits she&#039;s fine with not winning and she has come to accept Felicia as a strong rival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ayamess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ayame Mikuri#Side Story|Ayame&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Masara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro gives Masara cookies simply because she wants to, leaving Masara confused by the gesture. Masara flashes back to their first meeting, when Kokoro had blamed herself for being unable to protect others and Masara told her she should not carry that guilt. Kokoro had asked to stay by Masara&#039;s side, explaining that those words had saved her. In the present, Kokoro asks what Masara is thinking about, and when Masara admits she was remembering their first meeting, Kokoro smiles. Masara does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Masara Kagami#Side Story|Masara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara visits Mitama for magical strengthening, bringing many Grief Seeds with her. Mitama notes her unusual enthusiasm, and Masara explains she wants to get stronger in order to find something that might change her life. Mitama suggests she try attending a summer festival and hands her a flyer, but Masara shows no interest. When Mitama brings up Kokoro, mentioning that Kokoro has talked about her, Masara insists they are merely working together, not friends, and finds Kokoro&#039;s expectations troublesome. Mitama claims Masara is actually worried about Kokoro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara reflects on her childhood, remembering how her parents had her swim from a young age. Despite showing talent, she never felt any joy or sense of accomplishment, though she continued hoping it might eventually change. It never did. She became a magical girl thinking her dull life might finally become interesting, but even that eventually grew boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead. The Witch targets Kokoro, and Masara injures herself by blocking the attack. The Witch escapes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro apologizes, but Masara claims she only did what was most logical, since the Witch could not have been defeated alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Masara keeps flashing back to the moment the Witch attacked Kokoro whenever she looks at her injury. The recurring memory bothers her, though she does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Kokoro offers to hunt the Witch again with Masara. Masara flashes back to the previous fight and insists she will hunt it alone. She tells Kokoro she is a burden and that she does not like getting hurt. Masara leaves Kokoro crying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara tells Mitama what happened. Mitama suggests Masara was actually trying to protect Kokoro. Masara is at a loss and wonders why being around Kokoro causes her to get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro blames herself for causing Masara trouble. She senses the same Witch and, respecting Masara&#039;s wish to hunt alone, decides to fight it by herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help. Masara agrees and tells Kokoro to call her next time. When Kokoro worries about causing trouble, Masara insists she is doing it for herself, because she does not like seeing Kokoro get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro asks if she can call Masara during lunch. Masara says she does not care either way. The two go to Mitama&#039;s place together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro notices the summer festival flyer and asks if Masara is interested. Masara admits she is a little interested. Mitama laughs and says they can look forward to the future when there is something or someone important. Kokoro and Masara are confused by her comment, which exasperates Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Konomi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi welcomes Kaede and Kako to the flower shop where she works part-time. She began working at Blossom because the florist once comforted her as a crying child with a single flower, and now Konomi does the same for other children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konomi Haruna#Side Story|Konomi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a customer leaves, Kaede and Kako help the florist carry supplies. The florist recently returned from the hospital, having survived a serious illness.

Desperate to help, she wished to Kyubey to cure the florist&#039;s illness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;!--The Flashback: Their First Meeting--&amp;gt;Kaede and Kako visit the shop for the first time. Kako searches for a specific flower, which Konomi identifies. During tea break, Kako explains she read about the flowers in a novel and wants to buy some for a friend&#039;s birthday. Kaede admits she has never given flowers but receiving them once felt wonderful. Konomi smiles and says she has an idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of the flower giveaway, Konomi, Kaede, and Kako take to the streets, suddenly appearing to hand bouquets to strangers before disappearing. A lottery winner, a despairing old man, and a boy who just got a girl&#039;s number all receive flowers. Later, the girls reunite. Kaede gave to ten people, Kako to thirteen. Konomi apologizes, but they agree to try again the day after tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Konomi, Kaede, and Kako realize they are the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi panics, fearing they have made people hate flowers. They notice a little girl crying because her mother refused to buy her a toy ring. Konomi offers a flower, but the girl wants a ring. Kako fashions the flower into a ring, and the girl calls it pretty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi realizes they have been giving flowers without understanding what recipients truly want. She decides to create something more meaningful. Inspired by Kaede&#039;s mention of birthday flowers and Kako&#039;s knowledge of flower language, they plan an arrangement that speaks to people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They prepare a fair at the shop to showcase it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi shows the cake to the florist, who gives a muted reaction and announces her retirement, planning to leave Konomi the shop.

===Rika&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Hinano, Emiri, Ria, Manaka, Akira&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Rika is invited to a blind date by Emiri Kisaki, who brings along Hinano Miyako, a girl recently heartbroken. When the boys on the date mock Hinano&#039;s youthful appearance and odd way of speaking, Rika surprises her by defending them. Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her. Emiri and Rika quickly reassure Hinano, with Rika adding that Hinano is actually cool for having been able to confess her feelings—unlike Rika, who never confessed at all and watched her crush end up with someone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri then suggests Rika should make a wish, revealing that she and Hinano are magical girls who each received one wish in exchange for fighting monsters. Rika wonders if this is some kind of game. Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika muses that her wish was granted and she is now dating her crush, yet she feels deeply unhappy. When Kyubey asks what is wrong, she admits that every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens with unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mayu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mayu is a third-year student at Mizuna Academy who works part-time at the Kamihama Contemporary Art Museum. When she accidentally breaks the museum director&#039;s cup, her boss handles the situation calmly and kindly. After work, she meets her friend Sayuki Fumino outside the museum, and when Sayuki cannot stay, Mayu&#039;s boss offers to accompany her to an exhibit instead. They later go to a cafe, where Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi are also present. Ria grows increasingly annoyed overhearing Mayu&#039;s conversation with her boss, particularly when he hints at wanting to take her somewhere else and praises her cooking. At home that evening, Mayu cooks for her mother and asks if her father would have eaten her cooking, wondering what life would be like if he were still alive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayu Kozue#Side Story|Mayu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at school, Mayu talks with Sayuki about the sword exhibit. She then heads to work, and after her shift ends, her boss mentions his wife and child are away and invites her out to eat. Mayu declines. As she leaves, she forgets her phone, and her boss rushes to return it, asking again about dinner with growing intensity. Ria suddenly appears and bumps into him, yelling at them for flirting and demanding they sit for a lecture. Mayu&#039;s boss says she ruined it and leaves. Ria warns Mayu that her sweet, innocent air attracts older men and that if things continue, his family will fall apart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home that night, Mayu reflects on the day she learned of her father&#039;s death and on Ria&#039;s words. Kyubey appears and offers a contract. Thinking she does not want her boss&#039;s family to suffer the same hardship her family did, Mayu makes her wish: to stop his family from breaking apart. That night, she narrates that her boss transferred to a new job, and she is sure her wish was granted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later at school, Mayu finds boys have started hitting on her. Ria constantly steps in to drive them off. Before Ria can finish telling Mayu to shape up, they both sense a Witch. The girls reveal they are Magical Girls, and they track the Witch to the museum&#039;s special exhibit room. Sayuki suddenly appears and reveals she is also a Magical Girl. During the fight, Mayu notices the Witch only targets Ria. She asks Sayuki to lend her strength and launches a surprise attack, destroying the Witch. Afterward, Mayu thinks that to protect people she must think clearly before acting, and Ria admits Mayu was more reliable than usual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As a child, Sayuki attends an idol performance with her parents, but when the crowd becomes dangerously wild, she is almost squeezed to death, leaving her with lasting trauma.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayuki Fumino#Side Story|Sayuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Growing up in a happy family, Sayuki develops a deep interest in katanas that creates a gap between her and her classmates. Though they respect her passion, she feels lonely without someone to share it with. This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert. Sayuki believes speaking out is important no matter the outcome and swears to protect the kind people who have been kind to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka. Moka thanks Alina for saving her and says she has now made new friends, resolving to devote herself to exterminating witches and admitting she is only a little afraid of them now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Riko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Sis = Miss K. Check what Exedra says&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Years ago, Riko spent her childhood with a cheerful older neighbor girl she called &amp;quot;Sis&amp;quot; while her parents worked long hours at their family bento shop. They grew as close as sisters until Sis became engaged to marry someone far away. When Sis&#039;s father suddenly opposed the match despite approving it before, Riko wished upon Kyubey that everyone would give their blessings to the marriage. Her wish worked, and Sis moved away happily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Riko Chiaki#Side Story|Riko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Riko struggles with loneliness waiting alone at home while her parents work overtime. One night, after they call to say they cannot return until after midnight due to a huge order, years of broken promises finally overwhelm her. She snaps, calls them liars who were never there for her like Sis was, and tells them she hates them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko goes Witch hunting to vent her stress but nearly dies against a stronger Witch. In that moment, despair crushes her and she wishes she had never made her wish so Sis would still be there. Tsukasa, a regular at her family&#039;s shop, finds her crying and listens as Riko confides everything about her feelings and what happened with Sis. Speaking from experience, Tsukasa tells her that separation is no excuse for broken contact and recommends she reach out to Sis directly. Riko messages Sis that night before falling asleep exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sis replies promptly. She explains she wanted to contact Riko but left home after arguing with her father and thought a visit would be awkward. She also reveals she was hospitalized to give birth and only discharged that day, inviting Riko to come see her instead. When Riko asks her parents for permission, expecting them to refuse, they apologize sincerely and grant permission for the trip.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Riko visits Sis with her parents. Sis introduces her husband and newborn daughter, hoping Riko will get along with her child just as they once got along. Riko makes a silent promise to be a good sister to this baby and aims to grow into a fine lady, just like Sis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maria&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Maria bids her parents goodbye for the day. Her mother gives her money for dinner, which Maria insists on keeping only a small portion of, and Maria mentions she will be at her part‑time daycare job after school. On her way to school, she runs into two little girls, one of whom attends the daycare where she works.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the daycare, the children swarm Maria with requests. She notices a boy named Shin‑kun looking down and tries to find out what is wrong, but he does not want to talk. Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work. Maria suggests she spend a day with Shin to reconnect, and Shin’s mother agrees. Maria promises to put together a plan by the weekend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Maria’s classmates tease her about being a widow with a love child, and she plays along before explaining she is helping a mother and son from the daycare. Later she presents her weekend plans to Shin’s mother, who is impressed and begins looking forward to the outing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, Maria goes to the park where she knows Shin and his mother should be. She watches as they struggle to connect: Shin wants to play in a fountain, but his mother cannot explain why he should not, and they end up standing awkwardly. Maria pretends to run into them and decides to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to the playground, where Maria encourages Shin to try a tightrope bridge. When he gets nervous, she prompts his mother to take his hand, and together they cross. After lunch, Shin’s mother gets a call from work asking her to come in on her day off. She agrees, and Shin looks heartbroken. Maria offers to watch Shin until dark, and his mother gratefully accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria takes Shin to various places, and he sadly remarks that his mother is too busy for him. Understanding his loneliness, Maria vows to make the day special. At the aquarium she convinces him to see a show he ends up loving. As evening falls, they stop for takoyaki, and Maria explains that his mother tells him not to eat while walking for good reasons. Shin finally understands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shin’s mother appears, explaining work no longer needs her. She admits she has trouble expressing herself, but Shin overhears and hugs her. They both confess they thought the other did not love them. Maria shares that she was often lonely as a child but still loved her parents, and she tells Shin’s mother she does not need to be perfect. Shin shows his mother the souvenir and the last piece of takoyaki he saved for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As darkness falls, Maria walks home alone. She reflects on whether she could ever be a good mother, remembering Kyubey’s revelation that her Soul Gem is her actual soul and her body is merely a vessel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mel&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mel stays home after her reading warns of lethal danger, but Kanagi dismisses her concerns and drags her to school anyway. On the way, a Witch targets only Mel before escaping, and a possessed car then attempts to run her down. She flees west into the Mizuno region, where Yachiyo saves her. Despite Kanagi&#039;s warnings about discrimination from the West, Yachiyo&#039;s kindness puts her at ease, and Mel accepts her invitation to stay. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she requests to join Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kanagi gives permission. From that day, Mel bonds with Mifuyu, Tsuruno, and Momoko as part of her new team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Despite Yachiyo&#039;s skepticism, Mel coaxes her into a session predicting a career breakthrough.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mifuyu and Momoko then receive positive readings about a matchmaking and exam results.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes.

** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Several days later, the girls are enjoying their club activities, yet Temari still feels unsettled about not knowing her magic. Mikura reflects that they have been following Temari’s suggestions lately—staying independent, creating the club—but says she will mention it if she notices anything. When Mikura asks what Temari is reading, Temari replies she is still on the same author, and Mikura calls her as unpredictable as ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yukika asks about Hotori’s notebook, and Hotori explains she wants to be brave like the sentai heroes.

Hotori, unaware, continues striving to be a hero.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ryoko does not take her seriously at first, still believing people play the hero only to be seen as one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kush&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama’s adjuster shop, Karin Misono finds Kush sleeping inside the tent. Mitama explains that Kush cannot stay awake during the day due to her wish: “I just want the morning to never come.” Kush reveals she made her wish because she longed to live in a fantasy world like the one in her favorite book, &#039;Good‑Bye Fable,&#039; and her magical girl outfit resembles the story’s protagonist. Ui Tamaki and Little Kyubey arrive, and Kush briefly attacks Little Kyubey, mistaking him for the Kyubey she despises. Over tea, Mitama notices Kush’s long canine teeth stained red and later receives a message from her sister Mikage about a rumor of a vampire girl in the Hokuyo Mountains. Karin and Kush agree to investigate together, but Kush runs off to her night class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, the two meet up with Riko Chiaki and Ashley Taylor, who are making a horror video about the same rumor. The group searches the mountains at night. Kush can see in the dark and leads them, but she is still sleepy. They find a discarded camera containing a video of Rui Mizuki dropping it and disappearing. When a mysterious sound frightens the others, they accidentally leave Kush behind. Left alone, Kush eats cherry tomatoes and senses a witch. The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one. They also learn that Rui is Kush’s friend; she had filmed Kush entering the barrier before being caught by it. The group later glimpses a white‑haired silhouette and flees, thinking a real vampire might exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley posts a video warning others to stay away from the mountains. At Mitama’s shop, Ui hears about the incident and learns the vampire was just a misunderstanding. Meanwhile, Chika Aoba, whose animal traps and axe cuts the group had found, decides to move her work farther from the trails so she does not frighten anyone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Homura Akemi in Magia Record#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is flooded with more memories of her other self preparing for Walpurgisnacht with allies. She wonders if there might be a real possibility for salvation in this timeline, where no one has to be sacrificed. However, she believes it has nothing to do with her. She breaks out of the labyrinth and the dream ends. Kyubey asks if she was curious about what happened to her other self. Homura says it does not matter; she believes in Madoka&#039;s words that her efforts will not be in vain. A new universe is about to be born, and Homura must protect it for Madoka&#039;s sake. Kyubey states they will both forget Madoka, but Homura is determined to never forget her.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new universe where Witches do not exist, Kyoko is surprised to find Sayaka has disappeared. Mami explains the Law of Cycles causes Magical Girls to disappear when they lose hope. Homura cries as she remembers Madoka, but neither Mami nor Kyoko know who Madoka is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka spend the day together in Kamihama, enjoying each other’s company until they encounter Ria Ami, a model and magical girl who has already defeated the witch they were tracking. Ria invites them to tea and later takes them to the fashion district, where she notices that Homura’s attention never leaves Madoka. Admitting her jealousy, Ria says she wishes someone would look at her the same way, and Homura replies that she will protect Madoka. After Ria departs, Homura thinks that even if Madoka does not realize how cool she is, she will still save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Homura steals weapons from a group called the Soukaihou using her time stop, but she is caught afterward by Meiyui Chun, a magical girl affiliated with the group. Instead of punishing her, Meiyui thanks her for taking weapons that belonged to troublemakers and invites Homura to share mapo tofu. Over the meal, Meiyui learns Homura fights to protect someone precious to her and says she understands, offering her support and suggesting the spicy dish whenever the burden becomes too painful to bear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Homura is practicing her shooting alone when Natsuki Utsuho, a magical girl who cheers for others, offers to encourage her. Natsuki deduces Homura’s time stop ability and gives advice that significantly improves her aim. When Natsuki suggests Homura ask Mami to coach her, Homura calls, and Mami arrives within an hour. Mami uses her ribbons to move within Homura’s time stop during a sparring match, praising her rapid progress afterward. Homura agrees to return to Mitakihara with Mami, reflecting that she will keep moving forward to become a magical girl capable of protecting Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Sayaka arrives in Kamihama City to go shopping with Kyosuke Kamijou, though she insists it is not a date. When she hears a scream, she runs toward it and discovers Hinano Miyako at an empty elementary school. Hinano explains she was bumped on the head while setting up the chemistry lab, and Sayaka decides to help investigate. They find the culprit was a baseball that flew through the window from the baseball club practicing outside. Hinano returns the ball to a child and gives Sayaka a perfume she made, wishing her good luck on her date despite Sayaka&#039;s protests.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later in the shopping district, Emiri Kisaki approaches Sayaka, drawn by the perfume. After realizing Sayaka is not Hinano, Emiri offers to coordinate her wardrobe, claiming to be the &amp;quot;Cutest in the World.&amp;quot; Sayaka learns Emiri is also a magical girl but remains unsatisfied with the outfit suggestions, explaining the person she likes does not care about appearances. Emiri takes her to the top of a tower, where they view the city at night. Sayaka thanks her before heading to the train station, reflecting that her love is supported by the magical girls of Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the outing with Kyosuke arrives. After buying a CD, Kyosuke messages that his train is delayed. Sayaka fights a Witch she senses and meets Kokoro Awane, defeating it together. With time to spare, Kokoro invites her for tea. Sayaka shares that she became a magical girl to heal someone she loves, and Kokoro reveals she wished to bring her family together. Though problems remain, Kokoro believes she can unite them through her own power, and Sayaka finds strength in her words. When Kyosuke is about to arrive, Kokoro encourages her, and Sayaka runs to the station, feeling it will be a good day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day in Kamihama, Mami saves Kanoko Yayoi from familiars, and Kanoko explains her dream is to become a fashion designer.

* On a later day, Mami is approached at a cafe by Rika Ayano, who admires her fighting style and asks to be friends. They spend the day shopping and at an arcade, and Mami admits she has not enjoyed herself like this in a while. Rika reminds Mami of Kyoko Sakura, and Mami reflects on her friendships in Mitakihara. They exchange contact information and agree to hang out again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, after Mami fights off familiars, Nanaka Tokiwa confronts her, having heard rumors about the strongest Magical Girl from Mitakihara. Nanaka wants to team up or fight her, and Akira Shinobu arrives, also eager to challenge Mami based on exaggerated rumors. Mami agrees to fight them on one condition: they have tea with her first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kyoko admits she enjoys the cooking and promises to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kyokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura in Magia Record#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Ultimate&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart. She also finds Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, who were never supposed to become magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Panicking because she cannot prevent magical girls from becoming witches in this universe, Madoka investigates. She discovers the source blocking her intervention originated when the Holy Quintet first visited Kamihama, and she observes how Touka and Nemu—fated to die in every other universe—are alive and plotting with the Magius to lure Walpurgis Night to hatch Eve. Madoka reflects that their plan, if successful, would achieve what she herself accomplished. Unsure whether to intervene, she decides to investigate further and chooses Iroha as her next focal point, since this is the only universe where Iroha contracted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka observes Iroha’s past and finds the singular difference: on a normal day, Iroha took her usual shortcut but accidentally kicked a small pebble, nearly making her late. This tiny butterfly effect led to Iroha contracting and Ui, Nemu, and Touka surviving, derailing the universe’s fate. Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka decides not to interfere, fearing a clash that could destroy the universe. However, she laments that she may have no choice but to trample Iroha’s wish if this universe, now a singularity, threatens the stability of all other universes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* After contracting with Kyubey, Oriko foresees Madoka becoming Kriemhild Gretchen and ending the world. To prevent this, she begins manipulating events and people around her. She uses Yuma Chitose as a distraction to keep Kyubey away from Madoka, then later convinces Yuma to contract by claiming Kyoko is in danger. Oriko also recruits Kirika Kure as her pawn. When Kirika kills another magical girl, Oriko decides to use the murders to further distract Kyubey from Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Oriko Mikuni in Magia Record#Side Story|Oriko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Oriko has another vision revealing that Madoka is not in Mitakihara but somewhere else entirely. She witnesses a spatial distortion connecting Mitakihara to Kamihama City and begins to suspect Kamihama might hold the key to changing the future. Oriko sends Kirika to Kamihama under the pretense of buying tea, instructing her to gather information from Mami and other magical girls there. She then takes Yuma to Kamihama herself, leaving her inside a witch barrier knowing Kyoko will come to rescue her. While exploring Kamihama for answers, Oriko nearly dies inside a powerful witch barrier and realizes she needs Kirika&#039;s help to continue. Kirika eventually returns home safely, reporting that Mami and Kyoko are also investigating Kamihama and that the city has an unusually high number of witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Iroha &amp;amp; Ui&#039;s Shrine Maiden Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno are being lazy, still treating it like New Year&#039;s. Yachiyo scolds them. Iroha and Ui feel anxious about the upcoming school semester but realize they have forgotten something important. Yachiyo suggests it might be cleaning. Iroha and Ui remember they need to clean their house in Takarazaki. The group agrees to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha &amp;amp; Ui (Shrine Maiden)#Side Story|Iroha &amp;amp; Ui&#039;s Shrine Maiden Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the house, they clean together. Felicia finds a photo album. Everyone looks through pictures of Iroha and Ui as children. They see photos from Ui&#039;s birthday party at the hospital, a Christmas when they had a flour snowball fight, and other memories. The girls tease Iroha for being a dork, and Iroha gets embarrassed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After cleaning, they take a break. Ui wants to have a party at the house, which has always been a dream of hers since she was hospitalized for so long. Iroha agrees. They buy cakes and cookies from a nearby pastry shop. Back at the house, they hold a small party. Yachiyo is worried about the cost, but Iroha says she and Ui paid with their allowance. They toast to everyone&#039;s help with cleaning. Felicia accidentally spills juice, and they laugh. As evening falls, they return to Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Ui receive a New Year&#039;s card from their parents overseas. They want to send something back but cannot decide how. Tsuruno and Felicia are watching a comedy show about an elderly couple sending video messages to their children. This gives Iroha and Ui the idea to record a video message for their parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They film their first video, but Yachiyo says it is too ordinary. Sana suggests making it more unique. Ui wants to introduce everyone at Mikazuki Villa to their parents. Iroha agrees. They try filming again with a script, but the takes go poorly—Yachiyo overthinks her cooking scene, Felicia struggles to tutor Ui, and Tsuruno is late. Ui suggests they abandon the script and just be themselves. They record a video of their daily life together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the video, Iroha and Ui perform a shrine maiden&#039;s dance they learned from helping at a shrine over New Year&#039;s. They tell their parents not to worry and wish them luck with work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s parents watch the video overseas. They are moved by seeing their daughters having so much fun. The father decides they will return to Japan this year to see their daughters in person. Iroha hopes her mother can see their shrine maiden dance next year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Kimono)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Mitakihara City’s school closing ceremony, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura walk out together. Sayaka is glad the term is over, Madoka is excited, and Homura admits she will feel lonely without seeing them every day. Sayaka ruffles her hair and says they can still meet over break, whether hunting witches or hanging out. Madoka suggests visiting Mizuna Shrine in Kamihama for New Year’s to draw “Ultimate Fortunes.” Sayaka has other plans but encourages them to go together. After she leaves, Madoka asks Homura if she knows how to put on formal wear. Homura does not, so Madoka invites her to a kimono‑dressing class she found, saying she wanted the two of them to dress up with Sayaka but lacked the courage to go alone. Homura agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class, the instructor dresses them first; Madoka thinks Homura looks beautiful, and Homura calls Madoka cute. When the actual lesson begins, Madoka struggles badly and trips, while Homura learns quickly enough that the instructor says she will have no trouble. Madoka takes a break outside, feeling useless. Sayaka happens by and asks why she wanted to dress up in the first place - to have fun. Sayaka tells her not to overthink; even if she makes mistakes, she will still have the memories. Encouraged, Madoka returns and finally manages to dress herself after another trip.&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year’s Day, both have their formal wear put on at a store. They joke that the class was interesting but not very useful for the real occasion. They take lots of pictures to show Sayaka, then wish each other a happy new year and go to Mizuna Shrine to draw fortunes. Madoka hopes everyone has a lucky year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka find themselves trapped in a strange dream—a life-sized board game set across Kamihama City. They must reach the goal by following the game&#039;s rules. There are no Familiars or attempts to harm them, so Homura suspects it is accidental mischief rather than a trap. They roll dice to move between squares and complete missions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Kimono)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;First Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They arrive at a shopping center. The mission is to deliver lost items from the New Year&#039;s sale to the Information Desk. They meet Aimi, who found a plain notebook with no name. Aimi worries it is someone&#039;s secret fantasy diary and does not want to read it. They take it to the Information Desk and complete the mission. Aimi mentions she is shopping for materials to knit a scarf or gloves for a boy named Hayato.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** They roll again and move to a new square. The mission is to reunite two sisters who failed to meet. They find Tsukasa waiting for her twin Tsukuyo. Tsukuyo forgot her phone and cannot remember the meeting spot. Madoka and Homura offer to find Tsukuyo. They find her, but Tsukasa has wandered off while waiting. The sisters fail to meet, and Homura and Madoka lose three turns. They eventually reach the Mizuna Shrine goal, but the game says they have not met the goal conditions and sends them back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Second Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They are back at the beginning, wearing their kimonos. They see their past selves from the first loop. The same mission appears—reunite the twins. They meet Tsukasa again, who remembers them from before and is confused by their kimono change. Madoka tells Tsukasa where Tsukuyo is, but Tsukasa runs off before Madoka can explain she should wait. They try to find Tsukasa but fail. The mission fails again, and they are sent back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Third Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes: buy a lucky bag costing one million Magica. They search for a store and take a break at a cafe. They see Ria being interviewed and overhear a boy named Hayato saying he needs a warmer scarf. They find Kokoro and Masara, who lead them to a stationery lucky bag. Kokoro mentions Tsukasa is still looking for Tsukuyo. Madoka wants to help Tsukasa, and Homura agrees. They find Tsukuyo, who has been wandering and dropped something important. They learn Tsukuyo dropped her exchange diary with Tsukasa—the same notebook Aimi found. The mission completes, but they are sent back to the start again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes again: help a child who lost something. They find Tsukuyo waiting. She dropped the exchange diary. Homura and Madoka take her to the Information Desk to reclaim it. Madoka remembers Tsukasa was last seen near a specific area. They wait there and finally reunite the twins. They also tell Aimi that Hayato wants a warm scarf. Everyone ends up happy. Homura and Madoka reach the goal without regrets. Homura reflects that she does not want the dream to last longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka learns the meaning of &amp;quot;When winter comes, spring isn&#039;t far behind&amp;quot; at the end of December. Just before New Year&#039;s Eve, Madoka asks if anyone has plans for the holiday. Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko and Nagisa meet the teacher and children at the park. The kids immediately recognize Kyoko, so the pair double down on the movie lie. The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the performance, Kyoko and Sayaka use quick‑change costumes while Nagisa sneaks discarded clothes off set. The children are awed by the glowing weapons and effects, explained with lighting tricks and soap bubbles. After the class leaves, the group reviews the footage and decides to keep a copy. Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko returns the props to Sayuki, then visits an aquarium to pass time. As she leaves, she spots the same kindergarteners, detects a witch, and rushes to fight it. She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She is hunting for discounted Valentine&#039;s chocolate. She visits Sugar Plum but finds the chocolate coins sold out. She runs into Kyoko. They keep encountering each other at multiple stores and realize they are both after the same Valentine&#039;s Day exclusive Pink Tapir chocolate coins. They form an alliance to share information and split the chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe (Valentine)#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Valentine Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Pink Tapir station store, a clerk informs them the sale has moved to a new outlet location and gives them a map. On the way, a delivery truck carrying the chocolate coins is possessed by a Witch&#039;s Kiss and goes on a rampage. Nagisa and Kyoko chase it, jump onto the truck, and enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Nagisa uses her forbidden technique to defeat the Witch. The truck and other vehicles are unharmed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the outlet store and buy the chocolate coins. Nagisa reflects on her memory of eating Pink Tapir chocolate coins for the first time at a hospital charity event when her mother was sick. She wonders if this universe&#039;s Nagisa would have had the same experience. She and Kyoko hurry to Mami&#039;s chocolate party. Kyoko reveals she bought a chocolate cake from Sugar Plum for everyone. Nagisa shares her pink chocolate coins. Mami is happy they are getting along. The next day, the chocolate hunt continues. At the outlet store, Ms. Saotome buys chocolate coins for a hospital charity event, continuing the tradition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Ria, Mayu, and Manaka give the sisters their rented beach space, and the sisters end up spending the day with Team Yachiyo in a water pistol shooting match. They have more fun than they expected, but Tsukuyo suffers a heat stroke and is cared for by the group after Tsukasa panics. When Tsukasa tries to repay the favor, Yachiyo jokes that she should quit the Wings of Magius, then smiles when Tsukasa refuses as expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Their final opponents are Miyako, Kokoro, Masara, and Ren, with Ren proving surprisingly athletic. Miyako’s team wins after Yachiyo avoids stepping on a rare hermit crab, but everyone agrees Tsukasa has repaid her debt, and the sisters admit they had a wonderful time. They end the day drinking juice Yachiyo bought for them and buying matching crescent moon accessories in different colors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

* They wake up past noon. There is only an hour before the bus leaves. They quickly change into swimsuits and race to the beach. Rena loses and buys everyone juice. They enjoy a brief swim before heading home. Kaede says she is glad she came to the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama asks Momoko to be her partner for the Beachside Perfect Pair Contest. The prizes include a scallop BBQ, Candy World tickets for Mikage, and a giant stuffed bunny Rena and Kaede would love. Momoko agrees, and Mitama immediately drags her out shopping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They browse swimsuits, but Mitama insists on choosing thoughtfully rather than buying on a whim. They separate briefly, and Mitama runs into Mikage, deflecting questions about what she’s doing. Momoko later admits she also had to make excuses after running into Rena and Kaede. Instead of buying swimsuits, Mitama brings Momoko back for an adjustment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the adjustment, they emerge in new swimsuits—Momoko’s tailored perfectly to her tastes, leaving her flustered but secretly pleased. Mitama teases her and admits she’s nervous but excited.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On contest day, Mitama and Momoko play on the beach. They learn the contest requires performing a shared beach memory with chemistry. They plan to tell the story of Mitama’s deserted island ordeal while Momoko adds her side of worrying. While playing, they fight a Witch together—the first time Mitama has teamed up with someone—then run straight into Rena, Kaede, and Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They win by performing the events of the day instead of their planned story. Rena claims the stuffed bunny, and Mikage gets the Candy World tickets, immediately inviting Mitama. Apologies are exchanged, and the others ask for no more secrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, while Mitama and Momoko clean up, Rena and Kaede take Mikage to get drinks. A girl from Mitama’s past confronts her: the one Mitama accidentally shoved down the stairs years ago. A crowd gathers, muttering rumors, but Momoko defends Mitama and the crowd disperses. The girl realizes it was an accident and offers to help clear Mitama’s name, but Mitama declines, saying she no longer needs it because she has someone who believes in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka arrives at a resort with her friends, carrying her mother’s challenge to do something she can only do now. After rescuing an old woman’s hat from the sea, she learns the hat was a gift from the woman’s daughter, Himari.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group spends the day swimming, building a sandcastle, and splitting into smaller activities. While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The girls complete the rally together, with the final photo taken at a sunflower field. That evening, a storm cancels the flower tour, but the photographer invites them to meet the next morning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the photographer leads them to a hidden pond where barringtonia blossoms float. She reveals this was the special place she and Himari had planned to visit. Madoka recognizes Himari’s name and, with her friends’ help, finds the old woman from the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The old woman and the photographer meet; the photographer confesses her guilt over their childhood fight, but the woman explains Himari never mentioned any quarrel—her illness suddenly worsened that day. The two women reconcile, and both thank Madoka for bringing them together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond. Madoka reflects that the thing she could only do here was to reunite the two women and give them peace. Her friends call her for one last swim, and she runs off to join them, already thinking of returning to the island someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story and Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
It has two versions I made, assimilate them if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomuradsSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At registration, Mitama announces all participants must wear swimwear, offering to transform their outfits for free. Homura is surprisingly excited, and Sayaka gets roped into wearing a ridiculous mushroom‑mermaid costume designed by Kanoko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many familiar magical girls attend as participants or catering staff. Hazuki reveals her hatred of worms, Konoha faints from watching bait wriggle, and various mishaps begin piling up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka in her costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The non‑waterproof suit causes Sayaka to be electrocuted by its built‑in fan, but her Doppel activates and saves her. The Doppel drags Yachiyo into the water, and Yachiyo begins water‑skiing using her fishing rod while being pulled around.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura manages to fish up the Doppel and wins the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other&#039;s backs. Homura happily agrees, ending the day on a warm note.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Homura confronts her Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying summer and relying on Madoka’s kindness. The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurads&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They participate in an accessory-making workshop using star sand. Inside the aquarium, they meet Ashley, an exchange student from the United States, and Riko.

** After parting ways with Ashley and Riko, Sayaka wants to visit a CD store. She hopes to find rare CDs for Kyosuke. At the store, she reaches for the same CD as a woman. They discover they both use notepads to track CDs. The woman is Takamine&#039;s wife—Takamine was a violinist who passed away. She collects his recordings to show her daughter. They exchange contact information. Sayaka mentions the upcoming flea market.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Sayaka and Kyoko transform into swimsuits and ride a surfboard to retrieve it, using Nagisa&#039;s floaty as a distraction. The hat is recovered. Takamine&#039;s wife realizes she lost her notepad. Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while waiting, Nagisa and Riko play with water guns. Sayaka&#039;s group relaxes on the beach. Madoka and Homura find Sayaka&#039;s copy in Mirrors. The copy lures them into a trap, but they manage to get the CD list from her and escape. They send it to Sayaka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring. They plan for future fights: Sayaka will handle Familiars, Madoka and Homura will immobilize the Witch, and Mami will finish it off. Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They agree to return the day after next, since Madoka is busy the following day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Moved by Ui’s determination, Kyoko keeps training her until sunset, and Ui finally masters swimming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully. Later, Kyoko visits Mitama to revert her outfit, explaining she wants to learn swimming properly rather than relying on magic. She trades a Grief Seed for money to buy ramune as payment for a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Eternal Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;

* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi meet again. Mitama shares her realization: her grief has ended. She now wants to make amends and carve a new future for Kamihama. They discuss ideas for the student conference. Kanagi suggests a sports festival. Mitama suggests a festival with food stalls. They joke about romance and love interests. Mitama feels lighter and ready to move forward. She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at the Wings of Magius, Alina asks Nemu to create a rumor for her. She will let it grow, then take it into herself and use it to achieve her greatest goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Touka and Nemu separately sneak to Ui’s room to leave apology notes. They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They first visit Mitama’s shop, where they meet Maria and Konomi. Mikage hands out sweets, crediting Lavi’s teaching, and Mitama permits them to visit the Mikazuki girls after receiving a cake. At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the real world, Tsuruno gives gelato to Ui and Felicia. Ui is absorbed in playing a game called &amp;quot;Little Vacation&amp;quot; on Tsuruno&#039;s phone. The game follows Tsuruno and Felicia as Reindeer Santas traveling to reach the End of the World and the Wishing Star.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia (Special Delivery)#Side Story|Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno uses the Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a hint: &amp;quot;The key is something you don&#039;t know the importance of until it&#039;s gone. This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The girls encourage Tsuruno and Felicia to leave since they were not originally trapped. Tsuruno and Felicia walk out easily. They promise to return once they find a way to free everyone. They leave, having failed to deliver smiles for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Town of Miraculous ☆ Prestidigitations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the next town. They meet Mitama, a magician performing tricks, and twins Rion and Hotori. Mitama attempts to teleport Hotori but accidentally duplicates her. There are now two Hotoris. Tsuruno and Felicia try to help. The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win. The duplicates are left behind. The single Tsuruno who lost is left alone without Reindeer-san #2 or the Okamochi Box. She decides to continue traveling anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; The three Tsurunos reunite and discuss the hints from the Okamochi Box. They realize &amp;quot;three heads are better than one&amp;quot; refers to them working together to solve the Maze Town puzzle. They also realize the key in Maze Town was a &amp;quot;smile&amp;quot;—something Ren had lost along the way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game. Game Tsuruno is surprised, saying the actual people probably do not play the game anymore. They celebrate their success and set their sights on the next town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents. Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia return home and ask to hear the full story, so Yachiyo retrieves the scarf from the time capsule where she had hidden it years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Check on the days again to make sure how many days pass. It&#039;s possible it&#039;s all just one day&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami finds herself in a strange white fog, speaking with two other versions of herself. Holy Mami claims she has learned the truth about magical girls from Alina Gray and Touka Satomi and has found a way to save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami has tea with Touka and Alina at a house rented for her by Touka. Mami explains she has not returned to Mitakihara because her priority is releasing magical girls. Touka and Alina offer to lecture her on what she needs to study. Alina grows disturbingly excited discussing van Gogh&#039;s Sunflowers, and Touka lectures at length on mathematics until Alina interrupts. Mami reassures them she will ask for help when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina receives a call from the Amane sisters requesting help with a Witch. Touka asks Mami to assist, explaining she has a lecture to give at noon to recruit skilled magical girls. Mami agrees, reflecting that releasing magical girls requires Grief Seeds, protecting Rumors, and raising Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane waiting for her. They explain the Witch has moved and the Black Feathers are monitoring it. A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren plan for their friends’ Christmas party a week away and promise to spend Christmas Eve together. While looking at options in a magazine, they cannot decide on a place. Ren buys the magazine to think it over, privately hoping to choose somewhere that will make Rika happy, though she doubts whether she truly belongs beside her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ren visits Emiri’s consultation room but finds only Akira and Ria Ami. She explains her dilemma, and Ria takes her around town to evaluate possible locations. They rule out a restaurant, an amusement park, and a romantic cafe, eventually settling on the Minagi Aquarium. Ria is surprised to learn Ren is planning an outing with Rika, not a boyfriend, but Ren leaves feeling confident in her choice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Christmas Eve, Rika attends a party with her school friends. When she mentions she will spend Christmas Eve at the aquarium with a friend, her friends press to join, but Rika refuses. She advises them not to look for boyfriends just to avoid being alone. Later, while walking with her friends, Rika spots Ren chasing after Aimi Eri. She follows and finds Ren comforting Aimi over a misunderstanding involving a boy; the situation resolves without trouble.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Ren waits for Rika, who messages that she overslept with a fever. Ren worries Rika became sick chasing after her the day before. Before she can reply, Aimi finds her, and they go shopping together. Aimi encourages Ren to visit Rika instead of staying apart. Ren goes to Rika’s house, knocks on her window, and insists they spend Christmas together there so Rika can rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They exchange gifts: Ren gives Rika scented candles, having noticed Rika’s interest from a sticky note, and Rika gives Ren a glass candlestick. Rika hopes they can visit the aquarium another time, and Ren leaves happy to have shared Christmas with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, assimilate them if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumor Tsuruno begins designing the park, adding a merry-go-round, roller coaster, spa, shops, and a cafe. The mascots warn that once the park is complete, she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world. Rumor Tsuruno claims no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she imagines comfort foods with hot pot as the main star, she is reminded of Mikazuki Villa. She brushes it off and completes the park. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Uwasa Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana looks at a Mr. Purrs-a-lot picture book and feels down. Ui notices and asks what is wrong. Sana admits she wants to become a picture book author to help people who are suffering like she once was. She has many ideas but does not know how to write them. Ui encourages her. Sana says she is starting from zero and needs to practice writing. Ui suggests she settle on one main idea. Sana recalls a story about the Rice God from Yachiyo and decides to write a practice story about it.&lt;br /&gt;

Aoi suggests a picnic to help them understand each other. The residents grow closer. Ui enjoys the story. Sana reveals she wants to leave behind proof of Ai&#039;s existence before she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana asks Nemu for permission to use a character modelled after Ai in her picture book. Nemu agrees, saying she is happy Sana wishes to preserve Ai. Nemu advises Sana on how to become a published author: enter contests or approach publishers directly. Sana becomes discouraged when she realizes she would have to interact with people who cannot see her. She leaves feeling hopeless.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana wanders alone, feeling invisible. She helps a girl find a lost ring but is not noticed. She thinks her dream is impossible. Tsuruno, Felicia, and Ui find her, worried because she was not answering calls. Iroha and Yachiyo also arrive.

Iroha and the others promise to support her. Sana realizes she has a family to help her get back up.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana finishes her first picture book, &amp;quot;A Small Encounter.&amp;quot; The story follows Shana, an invisible girl who is found by Aoi and makes her first friend.

* Day 1 (Flashback/Reflection)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi wakes from a nap and remembers the dream she had when fused with the Kimochi. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words that helped her realize she had not truly given up. Iroha told her that those who have given up do not fight, and that Lavi came to Kamihama because she still wanted to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro (Kimochi)#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects on the hope she once held—a daydream of a peaceful life where magical girls are understood. In that dream, she helped her mother, tended fields with her grandfather, watched Urara&#039;s street performances, and attended exhibitions with Shirogane. She encountered other magical girls: Asahi, Haitani, Kuroda, Urara, and Alexandra. They fought witches together and enjoyed everyday moments. Lavi realized she had locked away this hope because remembering it was painful. But now, through her connection with Iroha and her time with Nayuta, she has begun to see the future again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 2 (Daydream/Desired Future)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi dreams of a happy future where the Automatic Purification System has spread and peace has come. She, Nayuta, and Mikage go on a trip to Yukuni. They encounter many acquaintances: Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and Mikazuki Villa. Due to a scheduling mistake, everyone arrives at the same inn on the same day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** There is not enough premium beef for dinner. The groups compete in hot spring table tennis, karaoke, and pillow fights to decide who gets the meat. Yuna cheats in table tennis and is disqualified. The karaoke machine is outdated. The pillow fight becomes chaotic. Asahi saves the day with gibier meat. Everyone shares the meal and enjoys the evening together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects that this bustling, noisy future is unlike her usual self, but she realizes she has been yearning for it deep down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 3 (Reality/Current Time)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi teaches Nayuta cooking. They discuss their futures: Nayuta wants to study magical girls at a university different from her father&#039;s. Lavi wants to help at her family&#039;s inn while spreading magical girl activities. They plan a trip with Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Upon arriving at Cradle of the Earth in Yukuni, they encounter Mikazuki Villa, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and the Tokime Clan—just as in Lavi&#039;s dream. There is again not enough meat for dinner. Lavi is overwhelmed but also excited. She realizes that even if the past cannot be undone, they can move forward together and create a bright future. She announces they will compete over the meat and create a new future with all of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo tracks her location and rushes to the station with Tsuruno. Tsuruno finds Felicia, who confesses she cannot forget Iroha.

When the others refuse to help, she attempts to go alone. Felicia uses her oblivion magic on Yachiyo and she forgets the plan entirely. Yachiyo continues preparing lunch as if nothing happened. They travel to the Rumor for the picnic.

&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane complain about being overworked as guardians of a Rumor and fear the anger of Touka, Alina, and Nemu. They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;

===Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin|Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One winter’s day before Christmas, Rika and Ren go shopping together. The town has no Christmas decorations and people seem depressed. They hear a distressed voice and find Mitama, wearing a Santa&#039;s beard and hat, and she introduces herself as a Christmas Spirit. Mitama says her job is to make everyone happy, but the task is too big. She gives Rika and Ren some of her magic, explaining that the magic requires them to be perfectly attuned to each other, and then she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, a swallow Familiar appears, claiming to be Mitama’s pupil and Rika names him Chirpie. Chirpie explains that Mitama saved him when he fell from his nest and gave him magic. He can sense cowardly hearts lacking courage and Rika and Ren must drive out ten cowardly hearts to make the town happy. Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chirpie leads them to Felicia and Sana, who had accidentally smashed a cake and are now arguing about who should apologize to Yachiyo. Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines|Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 13th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mitama is away from her shop, but Tsuruno is there, using the kitchen to make chocolate bonbons with a friend. She plans to surprise everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 14th:&#039;&#039;&#039; On Valentine&#039;s Day, Tsuruno gives beautifully wrapped chocolates to Iroha, Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana and Ui at Mikazuki Villa. Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rise of the Waning Moon===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Rise of the Waning Moon|Rise of the Waning Moon]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day during lunch break, Kanagi goes to Himika’s classroom, telling her she just wanted to see her face, which Himika finds strange.&lt;br /&gt;
** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===Finding Our Formula===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Finding Our Formula|Finding Our Formula]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Hinano and Emiri attend a chemistry event. Hinano is excited to see a chemist who reminds her of the woman she idolized as a child—a tall, long-legged lady who taught fun chemistry experiments. Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic|Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls finish dinner. Tsuruno and Felicia complain about going to the same public pool every summer. Yachiyo receives a phone call from a distant relative who runs a hotel. The relative needs help cleaning the hotel pool because the usual staff are sick. Yachiyo hesitates due to her modeling schedule. The girls offer to help. Yachiyo calls back and confirms they will come.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group arrives at the hotel and Yachiyo&#039;s relative, an older woman, greets them warmly. She says she used to hang out with Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river. Tsuruno and Felicia compete to see who can clean faster, inventing names for their techniques. Yachiyo scolds them for being inefficient. They eventually work together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha slips and falls but is not hurt. Felicia sprays Yachiyo with the hose and Yachiyo chases her. After a few hours, they finish cleaning. The relative rewards them with fluffy shaved ice.&lt;br /&gt;
** The pool is now clean and filled with water. The girls swim and play. Tsuruno and Felicia bring water guns and spray Yachiyo. Yachiyo chases them and gets out of the pool to walk upstream, eventually catching them. They all have fun.&lt;br /&gt;
** As they leave, the relative thanks them but reveals the pool may not open after all due to unforeseen issues. Everyone is shocked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

On the evening after pool cleaning (same day)&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic|Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic]]&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls are about to leave when the relative reveals the pool may not open because support staff from the southern islands are delayed by a typhoon. Tsuruno volunteers the group to help until the staff arrives. Yachiyo worries they might cause trouble, but Iroha, Ui, and Sana want to try. They agree to help. Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the next day, the group arrives at the pool for opening day. Yachiyo handles reception. The ticket scanner malfunctions and a line forms. Mitama appears—she had plans with Iroha that were canceled. She offers to help and fixes the scanner by hitting it. The staff member returns and takes over.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama notices Yachiyo has something on her mind and suggests she talk to someone she trusts. Iroha later asks Yachiyo to help with a crowded lunch area. Ui is taking orders with Sana&#039;s invisible help making drinks.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral. Yachiyo admits she was worried about everyone but sees they are doing fine. Iroha tells Yachiyo it is okay to worry because she cares, and they can solve problems together. Iroha notices Yachiyo has been down and offers to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
** A foam machine malfunctions, spewing foam everywhere. A guest slips and falls. The group splits up to clean the foam and help guests. Mitama fixes the machine with a whack. The support staff arrives. The girls finally have time to enjoy the pool.&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models. She does not know what to post and is shy about taking selfies. Iroha suggests posting photos of herself and takes pictures of Yachiyo on a float with the sunset. Yachiyo is embarrassed but agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Tsuruno want a turn on the float. Everyone climbs on, and Mitama takes a group photo just as they all fall into the water. Iroha loves the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the pool photos are popular online. Yachiyo&#039;s manager says going to the pool was a good move. Yachiyo thanks Iroha and says she might take her up on being her photographer again. She sends the group photo to everyone. Iroha says the photo may not be &amp;quot;social media-worthy&amp;quot; but it captures who they are. They agree to go back to the pool again—summer is just getting started.&lt;br /&gt;

* Tsukuyo Amane reflects on her life. She and her sister must have realized they were doing something wrong, but to save each other, it was the only hope they had. She will seek a different path for them to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo dreams of living with her twin sister Tsukasa. She daydreams about leaving home and living with her beloved sister.

After school, she meets Tsukasa at the shrine. They both studied the same story and discuss planning for when they live together. Tsukuyo researches the costs of a two-person household and is shocked by how expensive it is.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo falls asleep while daydreaming about living with Tsukasa. Her grandmother finds her fantasy budget notebook and accuses her of planning to run away with a boy. Her training hours are increased, and her smartphone is confiscated. Tsukuyo is unable to contact Tsukasa. She runs away and ends up at the shrine, but Tsukasa is at school.&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback (Before Magical Girl). Tsukuyo is overworked with club activities and training. She is exhausted and collapses. She wakes up in the hospital with her sister beside her. Tsukuyo remembers how she first met Tsukasa. She was playing her flute at the shrine when she saw a girl who looked just like her. They discovered they were twins, separated at birth. They became close and talked openly with each other for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo too formal and uptight, while Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukuyo was devastated. She received a harsh message from her grandmother, punishing her for being absent without permission. She broke down crying, saying she was not a puppet for her grandmother to order around.&lt;br /&gt;
*On another day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa both collapse and wake up in the hospital. The pediatrician confirms they are twins. They reconcile and make a wish to Kyubey to never again hate each other. They become Magical Girls. They meet at the shrine and agree to leave home together once they graduate high school. Their wishes have come true, but their environments have not changed. Messages from their families indicate misunderstandings have been cleared, and they decide to part for the day.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day after the reconciliation, Tsukuyo returns home, but life becomes stricter. She continues her oppressive training. Mifuyu contacts her about something important regarding Magical Girls. Tsukuyo meets Mifuyu and learns that Magical Girls turn into Witches. She is horrified that she and Tsukasa will become Witches. She produces a Doppel. Mifuyu explains that the Wings of the Magius are working to save Magical Girls and asks for Tsukuyo&#039;s help. Tsukuyo agrees to discuss it with Tsukasa.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Tsukasa tells Tsukuyo she does not know the details of how the Magius intend to save them. She shares the full ending of the story they studied—the couple takes their own lives because they fear their love will fade. Tsukasa suggests they do the same. Tsukuyo is horrified but realizes they have no other way out.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night they decide to die, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa meet at the shrine. They decide to destroy their Soul Gems together. They hold hands and count to three. Mifuyu arrives in time to stop them. She begs them to live and fight for their freedom together. She says the Wings of the Magius may be small, but they will grow. Tsukasa and Tsukuyo agree to join the Wings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Return to the present) Tsukuyo reflects on how much has happened. She knows she must always be there to support Tsukasa, who can be unpredictable. She dreams of their future together—a happy ending where they live together, free from family, regional disputes, and Magical Girls. She knows it may be a long way off, but as long as she has Tsukasa, she believes they will get their happy ending.&lt;br /&gt;

Tsukasa will handle housework and cooking. She daydreams about their future life together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukasa&#039;s father tells her about an arranged marriage interview. He wants her to marry a boy from Chuo Ward to help dispel the eastern impression that plagues their workshop. Tsukasa refuses and runs away. She ends up at the shrine, but Tsukuyo is at school. She remembers how she first met Tsukuyo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before Magical Girl). Tsukasa is overworked with school, chores, and finances for the workshop. She is exhausted and collapses. She wakes up in the hospital with her sister beside her. Tsukasa remembers how she first met Tsukuyo. She was playing her flute at the shrine when a stranger warned her about Witches. She then saw a girl who looked just like her. They discovered they were twins, separated at birth. They became close and talked about their struggles.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo stuck-up and obsessed with appearances. Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized and loud. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukasa&#039;s resentment toward her family grew. She fell into a Witch&#039;s snare but was saved by the stranger from before.&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo both collapse and wake up in the hospital. The pediatrician confirms they are twins. They reconcile and make a wish to Kyubey to never again hate each other. They become Magical Girls. They meet at the shrine and agree to leave home together once they graduate high school. Their wishes have come true, but their environments have not changed.&lt;br /&gt;

* On the night of the suicide pact, Tsukasa runs to the shrine. She has nowhere to run. Her sister is crying before her. Tsukasa produced a Doppel. They return to Mifuyu for more information. Kanagi warns Tsukasa that the Magius could be lying. Tsukasa decides to end their story by destroying their Soul Gems. She and Tsukuyo hold hands and count to three. Mifuyu arrives in time to stop them. She begs them to live and fight for their freedom together. Tsukasa and Tsukuyo agree to join the Wings of the Magius.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa returns home. Her father apologizes for being too harsh. Her marriage interview is postponed until after graduation, and life returns to normal. Tsukasa dreams of her future with Tsukuyo—a happy ending where they can laugh together, free from family, the east-west conflict, and Magical Girls. She knows it is still a long way off, but as long as she has Tsukuyo, she will be okay.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka faces a formidable Boss Witch with her team. They withdraw due to exhaustion. Later, at Blossom, Kako worries about the Witch hurting someone. Nanaka says they need a new strategy.

* The next day, Nanaka meets with Konoha&#039;s team to discuss territorial disputes. Hazuki wants to maintain an agreement that all participants share Grief Seeds equally. Nanaka agrees but only to avoid unnecessary conflict. She sees Hazuki&#039;s personal motives and decides to do her a favor. After the meeting, Nanaka explains to her team that she wanted to observe everyone&#039;s opinions for future use. She reflects on her past—her father fell ill, his pupils took over the school, and the Tokiwa family was left in the dust. On his deathbed, her father asked her to reclaim the school. She wished for the power to evaluate who her enemies truly are. She discovered the true enemy was a Witch she named Locust. She formed a team to seek revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day after the negotiation, Nanaka arranges flowers while thinking about the two main issues: the Boss Witch and the territorial disputes. Meiyui sends her news that a plan has come together.

She meets with Hinano, asks her to keep the incident quiet, and Hinano agrees.&lt;br /&gt;

** Nanaka holds a meeting. Some members want to abolish the agreement because it hinders teamwork.

Her team questions her decision, but she says they will see soon enough.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hazuki&#039;s team confronts Nanaka. They were forced to defeat the Boss Witch because of the &amp;quot;duty&amp;quot; clause. Hazuki says Nanaka played them. Nanaka admits she knew they could do it. Hazuki says they have scores to settle. Hazuki also mentions the Witch was strange, like it was being manipulated. Nanaka realizes the Locust is not just one Witch—the true enemy is its puppet master.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several months later (present day) Nanaka reflects that her Locust revenge story is over. The puppet master can no longer do harm. But something else is starting to creep from the shadows of Kamihama City. She will have to find out what comes next.&lt;br /&gt;

* Kako is 13 years old. Her parents run Natsume Books, a used bookstore. Books are a huge part of her life. One day, she sees Nanaka loitering by the mailbox, looking distressed. Nanaka drops a letter in the mailbox and runs off. She tells Kako to read the letter. Kako remembers the words &amp;quot;Kill her&amp;quot; and wonders why.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako recalls her past. Her family was not wealthy, but they were happy. Her father recommended books, and her mother helped her study. Then tragedy struck. A riot over land grabs broke out. Harassment of those who objected got worse. Discord grew within the community and even within their home. Her father was wound tight. Then their house was set on fire. Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
** She met a girl named &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; N told Kako who was responsible and what she needed to do to destroy them. Kako clung to her. She later learned N was manipulative and saw others as pawns. Kako hates N and wants revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found herself in a Labyrinth. Nanaka fought off Familiars but was overwhelmed. Kyubey offered Kako the chance to become a Magical Girl. Nanaka told Kako through telepathy to decide for herself what she wanted. Kako realized she hated feeling helpless. She wished to see her family smiling again and to get Natsume Books back. She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kako learned Nanaka faked her struggle to entrap her into making the wish. Nanaka had pulled this trick on others to use them as pawns. Kako could not forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako and Nanaka fought Witches together. Nanaka encouraged Kako and told her she was better suited to being a Magical Girl than Nanaka was. Kako wanted to get stronger. Nanaka wrote a letter confessing her deception and asking Kako to kill her. Kako made up her mind to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka. She returned it unopened, saying it seemed wrong to read something Nanaka only sent by accident. Nanaka smiled and said Kako was dazzling. She said she would try to tell Kako her feelings in person someday.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako thinks Nanaka overestimates her, but she is no longer as scared and helpless as she used to be. She is a Magical Girl who protects the city by Nanaka&#039;s side.&lt;br /&gt;

* A teacher asks Hazuki to deliver worksheets to Nanaka. Hazuki is reluctant because Konoha distrusts Nanaka after an incident where Nanaka&#039;s team tricked them into fighting a powerful Witch. Hazuki delivers the worksheets. Nanaka suggests they should share information without secrets. Hazuki agrees to try building trust, but she remains wary.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki arrives at the school camp. She is assigned to orienteering setup with Nanaka. They are paired together by random draw. They work through checkpoints. The map notes are outdated, and they get lost. It starts raining heavily.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the storm, the rope bridge collapses due to the rain. Hazuki and Nanaka cannot cross the river. They find an old shack for shelter. They huddle together for warmth. Hazuki shares her past: her parents died in an accident when she was young. She was shuffled between relatives until she ended up at Azalea House. She learned to hide her fear behind a smile. The director taught her to smile when her heart truly felt it. She met Konoha and Ayame there. They became family. They made wishes to protect Azalea House and left to live together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka listens quietly. She says she finally understands Hazuki&#039;s true self. Nanaka grows pale and cold. Hazuki worries she might collapse. Hazuki insists they huddle closer. Nanaka admits she is cold. They wait together.&lt;br /&gt;
** The rain stops. Akira and others find them at the shack. They are taken back to camp. The nurse checks them. Hazuki and Nanaka are cleared to stay. Nanaka is grateful for Hazuki&#039;s help. Hazuki teases Nanaka about being excited for pillow fights. Nanaka jokes back. They agree to enjoy the rest of camp together. Hazuki realizes she has seen a different side of Nanaka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ayame Mikuri&#039;s Heartphial Story: Runaway Adventure===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame Mikuri reflects on her life. Azalea House was a place that showed her real love. When she knew nothing about family, that place taught her warmth. She was not going to turn her back on it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame writes a letter to the Director, the late head of Azalea House. She explains that she, Konoha, and Hazuki are Magical Girls now. Konoha warns Ayame to stay away from Nanaka&#039;s team after a recent incident. Ayame agrees but secretly plans to meet up with Kako anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayame and Kako meet in secret. They are friends but cannot openly hang out because their teams do not get along. Ayame complains about the situation. Kako shows her a book about ocean adventures. Ayame becomes curious about whether the ocean boils when the sun sets. They decide to go to the beach together to find out.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame and Kako take a train and a bus toward the beach. Ayame is excited. Konoha calls and texts repeatedly, but Ayame ignores her. They get off the bus when it breaks down and take a detour. They discover a field of sunflowers. They share cup noodles together. Ayame turns off her phone. Kako also ignores Nanaka&#039;s messages to focus on their adventure. They finally reach the beach and watch the sunset together. Ayame still cannot tell if the ocean boils, but she is happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback - Azalea House) Ayame dreams of the Director. She remembers the day Azalea House was going to be torn down. The Director had already passed away. Konoha, Hazuki, and Ayame met Kyubey and decided to become Magical Girls. Ayame wished for Azalea House to stay open forever. Konoha wished to eliminate all threats to it. They decided on a third wish: to have everyone at Azalea House forget they were ever there. They left the orphanage and started living together. Ayame remembers Konoha&#039;s promise that they would always be together. She reflects on her conflict with Konoha over her friendship with Kako. She wishes the Director could tell her what to do.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame wakes up at Kako&#039;s relatives&#039; house. Konoha has arrived. She found Ayame by asking Nanaka to track Kako&#039;s location. Ayame refuses to go home, saying Konoha has been stifling her. She promises to tell Konoha where she is next time. Konoha apologizes. She did not realize how her words were making Ayame feel. She promises to talk things through with Hazuki and Ayame. Kako is relieved. Ayame treasures the memory of her adventure. She promises never to forget it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Masara Kagami&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Flame Kindled in the Vastness===&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara Kagami reflects on her life. After becoming a Magical Girl, not much felt dramatically different. But encounters and experiences since have changed her. She thinks her dull and pointless life has just gotten a little more colorful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara finds the world boring. She is good at swimming but lacks passion. Kyubey appears and offers her any wish. She wishes for a load of money and becomes a Magical Girl. She fights Witches, and the excitement fades quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara meets Kokoro Awane in a Labyrinth. Kokoro is uncomfortable with Masara&#039;s reckless fighting and tells her to protect herself more. Masara says she does not care if she dies. Kokoro says her family would care. Masara questions why Kokoro blames herself for her family&#039;s problems. Kokoro asks if they can stick together. Masara agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a Witch hunt, they&#039;re attacked by a Witch and Masara takes a hit to protect Kokoro. She gets a scar. She starts avoiding Kokoro because she does not understand her feelings. Mitama explains that Masara fears seeing Kokoro get hurt, so she avoids her to prevent that pain. Masara realizes she fears losing Kokoro, so they reconcile.&lt;br /&gt;
* The swim club announces the relay team. Masara is chosen but declines, saying she is not good at team sports. Koshino, who has always been second to Masara, is chosen as her replacement. Koshino vows to beat Masara&#039;s record.&lt;br /&gt;
* While Kokoro and Masara go on patrol, they see Koshino training alone after school hours. Koshino tells Masara she beat her personal record. Masara is puzzled by Koshino&#039;s passion.&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Masara passes Koshino training again. They start talking about her times regularly. Kokoro notes that Koshino will never catch up to Masara&#039;s times. Masara wonders what drives Koshino.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days before the competition, Koshino beats Masara&#039;s record once. The swim club captain praises her. Masara feels something but cannot identify it. She is not annoyed. She does not know what she feels.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day before the competition, Koshino has an accident and cannot compete. Masara agrees to take her place. She is surprised by her own motivation. Kokoro notices the change.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the competition, Masara swims well. Her team finishes second, but she was in the lead when passing the baton. Koshino comes to watch and thanks Masara for doing the race for her. Kokoro says Masara has changed. Masara decides she wants to keep swimming a while longer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika Ayano&#039;s Heartphial Story: Haunting Love, Haunting Mistake===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika Ayano reflects on her life. She does not want to feel like she became a Magical Girl for nothing. She got to see what dating is like and made loads of friends. But sins do not wash away so easily. That is the price you pay for a miracle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback, but the entirety seems like mostly a flashback) Kyubey offers Rika any wish in exchange for becoming a Magical Girl. Hinano warns her not to do it, but Rika ignores the advice. She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Riko Chiaki&#039;s Heartphial Story: Worked Out with a Woof===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki reflects on her life. Even though her mom and dad were hardly home because of work, she never felt lonely as long as Miss K was around. She cared about her so much that she just wanted to help her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback) Riko helps out at her parents&#039; bento store. She is close with Miss K, the daughter of the hardware store owner next door. Miss K has always been like a big sister to her. Miss K cries to Riko that her father opposes her marriage because he does not want her to move far away. Riko wishes to Kyubey for Miss K&#039;s marriage to be accepted. She becomes a Magical Girl. Miss K gets married and moves away. Riko misses her but does not regret her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Riko goes filming with Ashley. She tells Ashley about Miss K. She explains that Miss K&#039;s father never fully accepted the marriage, and they have not made up. Riko receives a message from Miss K saying she was in the hospital because she was pregnant. She invites Riko to visit her new house. Riko goes and meets the baby. Miss K asks Riko to be friends with her child. Riko becomes like a big sister to the baby. She feels happy that her wish came true but is sad Miss K and her father never reconciled.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko walks Mameji and sees Miss K&#039;s father standing outside the hardware store, looking sad. She wonders what is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley advises Riko to ask Miss K directly if she wants to make up with her father. Riko texts Miss K and asks to meet. Miss K replies that she will come to Riko&#039;s town instead. Riko is excited.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Miss K visits Riko. They talk about her father. Miss K says she wants to make up with him but does not know how. Riko suggests inviting him to meet the baby, giving him a present, or going on a family trip. Miss K doubts any of it will work. They walk to Riko&#039;s store together. They encounter Miss K&#039;s father outside. Riko admits she asked Miss K to come so they could patch things up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Miss K&#039;s father reveals he brought a herbarium to Riko&#039;s store. It was originally meant as a gift for his grandchild, but he could not bring himself to deliver it. Riko realizes Mameji had been guiding her this whole time. Earlier, Mameji had barked at the cake that turned out to be from Miss K&#039;s father. Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky. She realizes she is dying, having protected Yachiyo. She remembers how everyone was fighting for dear life. She wished she were stronger to help them. She is sorry for not being stronger. She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley vlogs with Riko&#039;s help. She films herself shopping for Magical Kirin merch and gurokawa items. After editing and uploading the video, she replies to comments from her followers. She thinks about her father and hopes he is watching.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley remembers the day she wanted to study abroad in Japan. Her father refused without giving a clear reason, which was unusual. Kyubey appeared and offered to grant any wish. Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko notices Ashley seems down. She worries Ashley is overworking herself by vlogging daily and replying to comments late at night. Ashley says it does not feel like work because she loves it. She thanks Riko for being a kind friend. They go out to film another vlog.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley continues vlogging daily. She worries about skipping a day because her followers might unfollow her. She wakes up to find Kumanosuke missing. She panics, feeling like her world is ending. Riko arrives with a bento and finds Ashley crying. Ashley explains she lost Kumanosuke. Riko comforts her and says it is okay to skip a vlog.

They decide to search for Kumanosuke.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko suggests Ashley ask her followers for help finding Kumanosuke. During a live stream, a commenter suggests rewatching her previous vlog. Ashley realizes she left Kumanosuke on a chair when she got distracted by a crane machine. They find Kumanosuke on a shelf at the store, dressed in Waloli Gurokawa clothes. Ashley gets him back. She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call|Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wait, You Got It Wrong!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayu Kozue&#039;s most treasured possession is a bear pendant her father carved for her before he died. When a hand-drawn postcard is stolen from the museum where she works, security footage shows her friend Ria at the scene moments later. Mayu cannot reach Ria and suspects a Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~|Wait, You Got It Wrong! / Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While searching for Ria, Mayu encounters Asuka Tatsuki, whose family&#039;s invaluable book of secrets was also stolen. A witness described a blonde girl in a Mizuna uniform—Ria. They find Sayuki Fumino crying over her stolen sword book, then Rena Minami who was bumped by the same girl. At Walnut&#039;s restaurant, Manaka Kurumi accuses Ria of stealing a rice omelet. A Witch barrier appears, and after Mayu and Asuka defeat the Familiars, Ria arrives demanding to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka challenges Ria to a duel over the thefts, and Ria loses. She confesses to something embarrassing, and everyone assumes she means the thefts—but she meant a binder of idol clippings she desperately hopes no one saw. She was only chasing the Witch to recover her own stolen belongings. Relieved, Mayu and Asuka join her. They track and defeat the Witch, recovering most items, but the museum postcard, the dojo book, and Ria&#039;s binder remain missing. They agree to search again tomorrow. That night, Mayu dreams of her father, who tells her material things are destined to break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, thefts continue across the city. Mayu realizes the Witch they defeated was only a Familiar and the real Witch is still out there. She offers her precious pendant as bait to track it. Despite Ria&#039;s protests, Mayu uses it, and they follow the magic trail to the Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After a difficult battle, they recover all stolen items, though Mayu&#039;s pendant is scratched and its chain broken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu is unbothered. She explains that material possessions naturally break, but the memories they hold remain in her heart—a lesson from her father. Asuka and Ria are moved, and Mayu turns to walk home, promptly falls into a lake, and flounders while Ria sighs that she has not changed at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor she calls Miss K. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Miss K with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Miss K&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Miss K to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Villa. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;
~A Little Break For Us~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===This is The Warmest Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha is going about her day when Sana, Felicia, and Ui present her with a pinwheel and ask her to blow on it. Though confused by their strange behavior, Iroha does as they ask and the girls thank her before quickly scampering off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~#This Is The Warmest Day Login Special|This is The Warmest Day]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts. When Yachiyo asks Iroha&#039;s opinion, Iroha expresses her love for shortcake and suggests they bake one immediately, but Yachiyo insists she wait for the right moment, which will come sooner than she thinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Lavi is shopping when Nayuta finds her to share news about her math test score. They return home where Lavi prepares dinner, and Nayuta discovers Lavi earned perfect scores in every subject, highlighting the gap between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House|The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day while Lavi runs errands, Nayuta confides in Mikage about her fears that Lavi only respects her father and secretly resents serving her. Seeking answers, Nayuta visits Mitama, who suggests that kindness and broad-mindedness are the traits she needs to develop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Nayuta observes how hard Lavi works attending school, studying, handling housework, and fighting witches. Worried she might collapse, Nayuta offers Lavi time off for her upcoming sixteenth birthday and secretly plans a surprise party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later on Lavi&#039;s birthday, Nayuta and Mikage struggle through cleaning the house and preparing a celebration. Their efforts are interrupted when Lavi returns early for lunch, scolds them for the mess, but leaves again at Nayuta&#039;s insistence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Lavi returns that evening, the handmade kusudama falls onto the cake and catches fire. Lavi extinguishes it with water, and Nayuta is left mortified as her surprise party fails spectacularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Nayuta senses lingering coldness from Lavi and struggles to find the right way to apologize. Remembering her father&#039;s example, she decides to catch and cook a fish as an apology gift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day at a fishing center, Nayuta encounters girls from the Tokime clan who teach her how to gut fish. Despite being disturbed by the process, she perseveres and eventually catches the exact fish she wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning home late, Nayuta discovers a threatening letter addressed to Lavi and deduces it must be connected to the serious trouble from Lavi&#039;s hometown. She rushes to the market street with Mikage to protect her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the market street, Nayuta confronts the man speaking with Lavi, declaring herself as Satomi Tasuke&#039;s daughter to intimidate him. The man reveals he is simply a stalker with no connection to Lavi&#039;s past, and when he becomes agitated, Nayuta tackles him unconscious as a crowd applauds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Nayuta presents the cooked fish and apologizes. Lavi admits she was barely angry anymore and thanks Nayuta for protecting her, acknowledging she was just like her father in that moment. Nayuta produces a second kusudama and cake, and this time the celebration succeeds. As they pick confetti from the cake, Lavi quietly says she will continue to admire Nayuta until the final day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune. The Rumor says that if you receive the book and find a drawing of yourself, the sketched event will happen and if you try to stop it, a creature named Ketch drags you into the book. Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One summer morning, Mitama is at her shop and she has set up a small café corner called Hot☆Corner. The cat, Doyle, is especially attached to her lately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery|The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day|Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Rumored Temp Counselor===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

===Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away|Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

Sakuya confesses she killed her best friend in the war and must remain alone to avoid hurting anyone else. Ryoko declares she will save Sakuya by becoming her best friend, and they fight until exhausted. That night, Sakuya dreams of her deceased friend, who thanks her and tells her to move forward. She wakes to find Ryoko collapsed from hunger, and they talk for hours like ordinary friends. Though they agree they cannot meet again until the battles are over, they promise to become true friends then.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin completes her manga, &amp;quot;The Pumpkin King and the Ghost Servant.&amp;quot; She shows it to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede who praise it, giving it 100 points or more.

** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head of the executive committee thanks Karin for recommending Alina as the face of the event. Karin reflects on her hope that Alina will one day atone for her sins and reach a happy ending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kamihama Chocolate Girls===&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka, Sunao, and Chiharu look through a Valentine&#039;s Day feature in Kamihama&#039;s free newspaper. Shizuka is embarrassed to see her photo distributed around town, but Chiharu reassures her the photo is cute and the experience gave them a happy memory. They spot a feature on the chocolate shop Shizuka visited and decide to bring all the Tokime girls next time. The newspaper also includes messages from other magical girls offering homemade chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Bittersweet AI Memory#Kamihama Chocolate Girls|Kamihama Chocolate Girls]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage is delighted to see her photo in the newspaper and finds it funny that the article claims she made chocolate with her sister. Mitama suggests it was artistic license. Mikage wonders if she might become famous but worries about sketchy people, and Mitama jokingly offers to beat them up. Mikage asks if they can make real chocolate together, but Mitama needs to go to her coordinator shop. Mikage promises to do things that make her sister smile instead, and Mitama suggests they make Valentine&#039;s chocolate together next year. Mikage eagerly agrees to practice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choc&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Promised Blood&#039;s base, Yuna notices her teammates have been acting strangely, as Sakuya reads romance columns, Juri studies constantly, and Urara stares at Hikaru without speaking. After the meeting, Yuna confides in Hikaru that she feels guilty for not noticing everyone&#039;s exhaustion and decides to solve each person&#039;s problems personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend. Though relieved it&#039;s not her own love life, Yuna insists on helping anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s place, the group brainstorms confession advice. The conversation shifts when Ao receives a text from her parents—she&#039;s been lying to them about her late nights as a magical girl, claiming she&#039;s in an e-sports tournament. To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the online tournament, chaos ensues as Juri attacks teammates, Hikaru sets the kitchen on fire, and Yuna fails at selling merchandise. Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the student council meeting, Yuna honestly requests more time to handle personal matters, promising to dedicate herself fully afterward. The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka-senpai&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Day in the Life of Madoka-senpai===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Sweet Beanie: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This article details the events and stories taking place in, during and between the chapters of Arc 1 of [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]]. The narrative is structured to show the convergence of two distinct flows of action:&lt;br /&gt;
# The first is the personal, undated journey of [[Iroha Tamaki]] within the anomalous Kamihama City, which is much longer than Homura Akemi&#039;s usual 32 day loop. Her story begins on its own internal timeline, where the sequence of events is more important than specific calendar dates.&lt;br /&gt;
# The second is the dated countdown to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival from the original series, which starts with Day 1, Tuesday the 16th and ends on Day 32, Friday the 16th. Only the latter half of Homura&#039;s timeline is able to be approximately dated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the arc progresses, these two timelines intersect, and due to this, the latter half of the story is much easier to date. It should be noted that the timeline of the Magia Record game is highly anomalous, and thus any attempts at dating it are an educated guess at best. Therefore, this chronology should be used primarily to understand the sequence of major events, rather than as a calendar. In lack of contradictory context clues, the release date, or order of release of the event were used for their placement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that many of the events of Magia Record were written with the focus being on having fun side stories involving the characters, and thus, a definitive placement in the timeline wasn&#039;t a priority for many of them. For example, there&#039;s inconsistencies such as references to the same characters entering Kamihama for the first time in different events, or even cases where an event&#039;s tone at the time it is supposedly taking place in would be nigh-illogical considering other circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, the definitive time frame for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival was only established in [[Scene 0]], itself written and released after the majority of Magia Record and entirely after Arc 1 was finished. Notably, the [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]], which takes place supposedly shortly after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, itself happens during February. For these reasons, it is impossible to definitively state the order of events, or to accurately measure them against that of the original series, as with the addition of these inaccuracies, it is possible that none of the time frames of the original universe are applicable here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, given all these inconsistencies, any specific dates or placements in the Magia Record timelines, especially Arc 1, should be taken with a grain of salt, unless they definitively continue into one another in a clear sequence (such as the Main Story and Another Story in isolation). The original series&#039; timeframes are used for organizational and cross-reference purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The timeline of this Universe continues with [[Timeline/Magia Record/Arc 2]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==First Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha Tamaki is going to Kamihama by train, she is caught in [[Boxwood|Boxwood&#039;s Barrier]]. [[Kuroe]] is also on the same train from Takarazaki to Kamihama, as she&#039;d heard the rumor that Magical Girls can be saved there, as well as had the same dream herself. The train is engulfed by the Labyrinth and Kuroe wants to help Iroha whom she&#039;s never met before. Kuroe leaps out of the train&#039;s window to help her, but she quickly falls out of the mobile Labyrinth straight into Kamihama City, chastising herself for being weak. Kuroe is greeted by [[Mifuyu Azusa]] who was trailing the signature of the Witch and Kuroe is quickly recruited into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Little Bird&#039;s Star]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha herself arrives in Kamihama City, compelled by recurring dreams of an unknown girl in a hospital room. Believing this girl to be a key to a buried memory, Iroha begins searching the city&#039;s Witch Labyrinths for clues. During her search, she rescues another Magical Girl later identified as Kaede Akino from aggressive Familiars. The girl warns Iroha about the unusual strength of Kamihama&#039;s Witches and, upon learning Iroha is searching for a small Kyubey, mentions having seen it in a specific Labyrinth. Kaede notes that the small Kyubey has been the only Kyubey around recently.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 1: Iroha: The Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha locates the Labyrinth and finds the small Kyubey who is incapable of speech, though Iroha can somehow understand it anyway, but is soon overwhelmed by a horde of Familiars. During the struggle, she has a vivid vision of the hospital room from her dreams. She is saved by Momoko Togame, who explains that the Witches in Kamihama are too powerful for most Magical Girls to handle alone. Momoko takes Iroha to meet Mitama Yakumo, the &amp;quot;Coordinator,&amp;quot; who can perform a &amp;quot;Soul Gem Alignment&amp;quot; to enhance a Magical Girl&#039;s power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the alignment, Iroha has another, clearer vision of the hospital room and the girl, feeling a strong sense of affection and nostalgia. After the procedure, Mitama reveals that she can see into the pasts of those whose Soul Gems she touches and asks Iroha what her wish was. Iroha is horrified to realize she cannot remember her own wish or the identity of the girl in her dreams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Driven by this revelation, Iroha rushes out to continue her search, but is intercepted by the powerful Magical Girl Yachiyo Nanami. Yachiyo, believing Iroha is not strong enough to survive in Kamihama, challenges her to a duel to force her to leave the city. Though Yachiyo wins, Momoko intervenes, and a compromise is reached: Yachiyo will allow Iroha to stay if she and Momoko can defeat a specific Witch, the Sandbox Witch, before Yachiyo can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The small Kyubey reappears and leads Iroha and Momoko directly to the Sandbox Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Although Yachiyo defeats the Witch first, she gives Iroha a final chance to prove herself by defeating the Witch alone, which Iroha successfully does. Yachiyo admits she thought Iroha would be fine from the start. However, Yachiyo then reveals her true objective: she believes the small Kyubey is a dangerous irregularity and moves to eliminate it. Yachiyo explains she was trying to draw the small Kyubey out, as all the other Kyubeys in Kamihama have disappeared. Iroha throws herself in the way to protect it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the confrontation, as Iroha protects the small Kyubey, by touching it a flood of memories is unlocked. She remembers her little sister, Ui Tamaki, who was chronically ill and hospitalized. Iroha recalls her wish to Kyubey: &amp;quot;Please cure Ui! Make my precious little sister healthy!&amp;quot; She also realizes with horror that she had completely forgotten Ui&#039;s existence, living her life as if she never had a sister, with no memory of her until that moment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha awakens back at Mitama&#039;s office, having been carried there by Momoko after fainting. She explains her recovered memory to Momoko and Mitama. Despite their warnings that the memory could be false, Iroha declares that she must continue her investigation in Kamihama. Now her goal is not just to understand her dreams, but to find the cause of Ui&#039;s disappearance and uncover the truth behind her own forgotten wish. Momoko resolves to help Iroha, and Mitama agrees to help as well for a price. Mitama then asks Iroha to give the small Kyubey a name. Iroha asks Lil&#039; Kyubey if he will help her find Ui, and he agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Second Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, now at her home in Takarazaki City, understands the reason for the empty space in her room: it once belonged to her sister, Ui. She recalls memories of Ui and her two friends from the hospital, Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, even remembering specific details like how Nemu loved writing and published stories online, or how Touka was very smart. Iroha resolves to visit the hospital to find them, hopeful they will remember Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: The Rule of Ending Friendships]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0001 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* While Mitama is running her shop, she reads a detective novel called “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” A white tabby kitten from next door starts visiting her during this time and she names him Doyle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 1: The Many-Worlds Interpretation Poesy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko comes for an adjustment and sits in the back to keep Mitama company. After a client leaves, Mitama feels strange and asks Momoko about the previous day after sunset. Momoko says they stayed in the shop watching over Iroha, but Mitama saw a memory during the adjustment: in that memory, she and Momoko patrolled an alley together and Mitama realizes the memory does not match reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha goes to the hospital with Lil&#039; Kyubey&#039;s help to use her cellphone but is unable to locate Touka and Nemu, as she does not have a visitor pass and is not family. She reflects on their personalities and their frequent arguments, which Ui often mediated. As Iroha recalls one of their fights where they declared they were &amp;quot;not friends anymore,&amp;quot; she is approached by Yachiyo. She warns Iroha about a dangerous Rumor in Kamihama called the &amp;quot;Rule of Ending Friendships.&amp;quot; She explains that if two friends fight and one later apologizes to make up, a monster will kidnap the one who apologized. Yachiyo states this is one of several Rumors in Kamihama that have become reality, leading to people disappearing and tells Iroha to be careful. Iroha later discusses this rumor with Mitama, who explains that Momoko is not likely to believe anything from Yachiyo, as they stopped getting along after Yachiyo became a model.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after this conversation, Iroha witnesses an argument between Momoko Togame&#039;s teammates, Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. Momoko asks Iroha to catch Rena, but Rena fights her off and even transforms into Iroha to surprise her. Momoko formally introduces Kaede and explains the fight is over sweets. She figures Rena will apologize later. The argument escalates, and both girls declare they are &amp;quot;not friends anymore&amp;quot; before Rena storms off. Momoko dismisses Iroha&#039;s concern about the Rumor, asserting that rumors are not true. Iroha notes that Momoko seems dismissive of the information specifically because it came from Yachiyo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami enters Kamihama City and saves Rena from a Stacey Witch. Rena reveals that Kamihama has the opposite problem to other cities: an overabundance of powerful Witches. Mami realizes Kamihama is an anomaly. While investigating, she encounters a powerful Familiar and a strange, non-Witch Barrier, solidifying her decision to investigate the city&#039;s mysteries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: Odd One Out]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Undated Period==&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama performs adjustments on more Magical Girls and sees more memories that should not exist. She pieces them together and finds a Kamihama slightly different from her own which she dubs the “Alternate Kamihama.” Over the next two days, several Magical Girls with memories of the other world come for adjustments and Mitama does not reveal whose memories she saw out of respect to her clients&#039; privacy, but she shares information with Momoko without naming names.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that in the Alternate Kamihama, Momoko and Mitama are a team of two, Yachiyo acts like Momoko’s big sister, Kaede is on Nanaka’s team and that Kako is missing. There is also a serious rivalry between Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team in the Sankyo Ward, as both teams had lost their youngest members, Kako and Ayame. Yachiyo is also in charge there but struggles to keep the order. Kako and Ayame are friends in this world, but Mitama has not seen either of them in the other world. Mitama almost reveals private information about Karin and an older student but stops herself. A small detail is that Mitama asks Momoko about an exclusive wallpaper of the Mocha Bunny, and Momoko sends her a link. Mitama notices the crucial detail that in the Alternate Kamihama, Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red, but in their world, it is blue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, a wounded Magical Girl is brought to Mitama’s shop and Mitama heals her with adjustments. This girl has more memories of the Alternate Kamihama than any previous client and the situation there is dire. Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team both blame each other for crossing a line first and the conflict spreads from Sankyo Ward to other wards. Three friends from the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira, Seika and Mito, had their Soul Gems taken and were locked in separate rooms and a voice from inside their Soul Gems asked for the words in their hearts. The three answered “Four-leaf clover” and got their gems back, but one girl fainted from fatigue. Mitama suspects someone mistook them for a threat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks about Iroha and Kyubey, worrying about Iroha in the other world. Mitama says no one has seen Iroha there and that the small Kyubey is also missing, but the normal Kyubey still exists in the Alternate Kamihama. Momoko has not seen Kyubey in their own world for months. Mitama refuses to share more due to confidentiality and calls herself an unreliable narrator, so Momoko agrees to stay as her investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about how the memories were gathered, and that a few days ago, a group of friends from Kamihama ended up in the Alternate Kamihama. They were together one second and scattered the next, and though they searched for each other and talked to many Magical Girls along the way, they noticed something was wrong. One of them said they cannot tell anyone how they got there and Mitama almost forgot to mention that Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red in the other world, yet Momoko is not impressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Doyle meows at Mitama and she thinks he wants her to apologize to Momoko and she also thinks about the one secret she cannot tell anyone: the Alternate Kamihama is a world without Witches. Then she finds a phone that a client left behind and she accidentally turns it on, seeing that the wallpaper shows Mocha Bunny with a red bow tie, making Mitama wonder if the phone came from the other world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama keeps the phone, as she cannot return it yet because schedules do not match. She learns about Rumors, or Uwasa in Kamihama: mysterious beings that make rumors come true. Momoko tells her about the Rumor of the Rule of Ending Friendships, which nearly trapped Kaede and Rena forever. Mitama reveals that in the Alternate Kamihama, Kaede and Rena are very close and never argue, but that Rena works alone there. Momoko is no longer surprised by anything Mitama says.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko advises Mitama to record all details about the Alternate Kamihama while they are fresh and Mitama starts writing “The Case Files of the Coordinator.” She notes the color of Mocha Bunny’s bow tie, team relationships, and the disappearances of Kako and Ayame. While writing, Nanaka walks in to return a borrowed book and overhears Mitama say that Kako disappeared, prompting Mitama to explain everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka asks many questions, joking about Mitama’s inability to keep secrets. Then she asks seriously why the Sankyo Ward is the source of conflict in the other world and she suspects there is more to the situation. She asks Mitama to tell her about the incident that sparked the conflict and after hearing her out, Nanaka says she will keep the information to herself for now. She advises Mitama to talk directly to the owner of the phone from the other world and that the girls who ended up there know how they got there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama meets the girl who left the phone and she does not hesitate to tell the truth because Mitama would see it in her memories anyway. The girl explains the Rumor of Parallel Memories. The rumor says that if you get an item of proof from a parallel world and pray to the central tower, you can travel to and from a parallel Kamihama. The world they visited was a dream projected by the Rumor and it shows a world that “could be.” The girl and her friends all had the same dream at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama tells Momoko the Alternate Kamihama was just a dream and Momoko is relieved. Mitama explains the Mandela effect phenomenon: many people misremember the same fact, leading to a theory that those are memories from a parallel world. The Rumor of Parallel Memories lets you enter a dream of such a world and a lot of girls fell victim to it, including Ren, Kokoro, and Karin, who also got a strange sketchbook and ended up in the world of her own manga, which was traumatic. The dream world is dangerous because one&#039;s are asleep the entire time, but to leave, they can simply wish to go back. The issue is that if someone does not know that, they could waste away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks what kind of world the girls went to and Mitama admits it was a world without Witches. Momoko is upset Mitama kept that secret and asks if all worlds without Witches are that violent, but Mitama says no, clarifying that the fighting in the Alternate Kamihama had nothing to do with Witches. Their own world has Witches and people still fight and that the Alternate Kamihama is just one possibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitama tells Nanaka the Rumor explanation, but Nanaka still wonders why there was so much fighting, and that not all worlds without Witches would be that hostile. She thinks someone is behind the conflict and she names Hanna Sarasa, who is dead in this world. Nanaka says the targets in the Alternate Kamihama were all connected to Hanna, and that the method matches Hanna’s style: using suggestion to bend wills, laying traps, spreading rumors, making people doubt everyone. The trap for the Daito Apartment Complex girls feels like someone who enjoys watching others suffer. While Mitama is convinced, she notes the Alternate Kamihama is not real and Nanaka also agrees it is a nightmare that never became reality because Hanna died. Then Nanaka mentions a recent incident: a certain book nearly destroyed her friendship with Kako. It felt deliberate, but thankfully Hanna is dead, though Mitama becomes unsettled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0002 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama asks herself why she is still looking into the case, recalling two girls with bad experiences. Felicia saw a nightmare in the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth and was despondent for days, but she does not remember anything. Reira also tapped a weird link in a Magical Girls’ group chat and she started having nightmares that made things awkward between her and her best friend Seika. Mitama notes that nightmares testing friendships cannot be a coincidence and that the girls who ended up in the Alternate Kamihama also got into trouble because of a phone. Mitama connects the dots and creates a vague profile: a mean-spirited person who likes to show nightmares and test hearts, using a phone, located in Endless Mirrors, the large Labyrinth inside the Mirror Witch’s Mansion and where all the magic of Kamihama gathers. Mitama decides to take a look and asks Reira about the group chat. The account that posted the link has been deleted, but the culprit might still watch with another account. Mitama posts a message asking if anyone has had bad experiences related to Endless Mirrors, hoping the culprit will see it. She then receives a video chat invitation from a caller ID: H. S.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna Sarasa appears on the video call and says she is not the Hanna Sarasa that Mitama knows. She is the Hanna from a parallel world and that she is glad Mitama finally figured things out. She has been playing hide-and-seek and running out of time. She is in Endless Mirrors and tells Mitama to come alone, claiming she can tell Mitama about the serious consequences of her wish, which Mitama kept secret. She wonders if her wish brought Hanna to this world and she closes her shop early to go to Endless Mirrors. Momoko notices something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside Endless Mirrors, Hanna watches Mitama through copies, using the power of suggestion to control people. Mitama asks if the Alternate Kamihama is where Hanna is from and she confirms. She claims the world Mitama assumed was just a dream actually exists and that the dream shown by the Rumor happens to be exactly like Hanna’s world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna explains there is a narrow tunnel connecting the two worlds and that the exit in Mitama’s world is inside Endless Mirrors. A Magical Girl with the power to connect spaces, possibly the alternate version of Shizuku, was forced by Hanna to use all her power to open the hole. Hanna wanted to find Mikoto Sena, who had disappeared in her world. The tunnel is too small for a person, only big enough for a phone, but Hanna used the copies and Familiars in Endless Mirrors to do her work. She had tossed a phone through the hole and waited for someone to pick it up, and the Rumor of Parallel Memories did the rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna admits she is not actually in Endless Mirrors, but in an abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama. The background image was fake and the tunnel will close in a few days. The Endless Mirrors Familiars built a magical projector that can exchange things of equal value between the two worlds, an if Mitama turns the handle, they will trade places: Mitama goes to the Alternate Kamihama, and Hanna comes to Mitama’s world. Hanna has been using her power of suggestion on Mitama and she makes her turn the handle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in the dark abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama and Hanna arrives in Mitama’s world. Hanna explains her full plan: she wanted to find Mikoto and she tested her methods on Nanaka and Kako, then on the Daito girls and Felicia. She left subtle hints to lure Mitama to Endless Mirrors and Mitama’s curiosity and guilt made her the perfect bait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, who had followed Mitama, telepathically messages her and Momoko catches Hanna off-guard. She turns the handle of the projector in reverse and Mitama returns to her own world while Hanna goes back to the Alternate Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The tunnel closes a few days later and Momoko does not remember much of the incident. Mitama does not either; her last memory is reaching for the handle and Momoko explains what happened. The projector is destroyed, and Hanna cannot return. Mitama warns everyone to stay away from Endless Mirrors for a few days and nothing else happens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects on how she almost became the kitten killed by curiosity. But it was guilt that trapped her instead. She decides will continue to act as a neutral Coordinator, hiding secrets behind confidentiality and she plays with Doyle using a new foxtail cat toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after the initial argument, Momoko notes that Rena Minami has not apologized to Kaede, which is unusual behavior. Kaede spends her time alone, and Momoko expresses worry for her. During this time, Iroha encounters a witch and rescues Kaede. Kaede admits she was running away from Momoko to avoid being forced to see Rena, and that she wants to apologize but doesn&#039;t think she can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several more days later, Momoko decides to intervene in the dispute. Iroha offers to help, and Momoko accepts, promising to aid Iroha in her search for Ui in return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko devises a plan to lure Rena and Kaede to the same location. The plan involves waiting for Rena at her student committee meeting. Iroha waits for a long time, but Momoko calls to say the meeting was cancelled and Rena went home early. Momoko tells Iroha to find Rena at the game center. Iroha finds Rena at the arcade playing a game and attempts to lure her to an abandoned construction site with a false story about a live show from Sayuki Fumino, Rena&#039;s favorite idol. Rena sees through the ruse. Kaede arrives and confronts Rena directly, demanding an apology. When Rena refuses, Kaede attempts to apologize herself. Rena reacts with panic and tries to stop her, revealing her belief in the Rule of Ending Friendships Rumor and her fear that an apology would cause Kaede to be taken. Rena denies this and runs off. Iroha and Kaede chase her and run into Momoko, but Kaede realizes it&#039;s a transformed Rena. Rena returns to her normal appearance and admits she believes in the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Kaede completes her apology, a strange Labyrinth, distinct from a Witch&#039;s Barrier, manifests. Monstrous Familiars appear, seize Kaede, and drag her away, confirming the Rumor&#039;s power. Rena runs off, determined to find a solution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Iroha regroup and Momoko expresses more concern over Rena Minami&#039;s departure than Kaede Akino&#039;s capture, but trusts that Rena had a reason.  Iroha suggests asking Mitama for help. Momoko reveals that Mitama accepts payment in Grief Seeds, and she&#039;s running low. Lil&#039; Kyubey then finds Rena, who was looking for Momoko. They follow the residual magic trail and find Rena, who reveals she sought information from Yachiyo on how to counter the Rumor. The group returns to the abandoned construction site, where Rena shouts an apology to Kaede to lure out the entity. The Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth manifests, and a brainwashed Kaede appears, followed by monstrous Familiars. The Uwasa captures Rena too and Yachiyo arrives, confirms the Rumor&#039;s power, and joins the fight. Yachiyo subdues the possessed Kaede, and Momoko and Iroha proceed deeper into the Labyrinth and find the Uwasa, &amp;quot;Ms. Staircase,&amp;quot; which has also possessed Rena. Momoko and Iroha try attacking the witch, but it has no effect. Yachiyo then arrives, having knocked Kaede out. Yachiyo admits she doesn&#039;t know how to defeat the witch either. Kaede returns and teams up with a now brainwashed Rena. Yachiyo knocks them out and notes the witch may have increased their powers, at the cost of darkening their Soul Gems. Yachiyo catches up and defeats both possessed girls to neutralize the threat without serious injury. Iroha proposes a coordinated attack to counteract the Uwasa&#039;s nature, so Iroha, Momoko, and Yachiyo combine their attacks and destroy the Uwasa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Yachiyo provides a Grief Seed to revive the exhausted Kaede and Iroha also uses her healing powers to help awaken her. Yachiyo identifies the entity as an &amp;quot;Uwasa,&amp;quot; a being distinct from Witches and Familiars that exists to protect a Rumor. Afterward, the girls find Rena and Kaede. Kaede awakens and reconciles with Rena. The four girls then all share pudding together, affirming their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, to fulfill her promise, Momoko has Rena use her transformation magic to investigate the hospital records. Rena confirms that Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi were real patients discharged around the same time as Ui. However, Rena finds no record of Ui Tamaki&#039;s existence at the hospital. Despite this setback, Iroha resolves to continue her search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Iroha visits Mitama for a Soul Gem alignment. During the procedure, Mitama&#039;s hunger causes Iroha to see visions of food. Momoko arrives and notes Mitama&#039;s treatments are ineffective when she is hungry. The three go to Mitama&#039;s kitchen, where her dangerous cooking prompts Iroha to recall memories of cooking for her sister, Ui. Iroha remembers a specific incident where she burned hamburg steak for Ui in the hospital, but her mother brought a replacement, and Ui enjoyed the meal regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha enters the Mirror Mansion and finds Mitama already there. Mitama warns her to be careful and explains the mansion is the lair of the Mirror Witch. A familiar throws Iroha into a barrier where she fights a copy of herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side|Mirrors Story Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After defeating the duplicate, Iroha returns to the entrance. Mitama explains the barrier is populated by replicas and the Mirror Witch lies at the end.

** After the false Kaede is defeated, Kaede explains she entered with Momoko and Rena but got separated. Yachiyo explains the barrier constantly changes. The group returns to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 4: Lost in the Layers|Mirrors Story Layer 4: Lost in the Layers]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They find Ria Ami, who claims to be Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo barely remembers her. Ria says she cannot forgive the fakes for duplicating her beauty. Ria ignores Yachiyo&#039;s warning about a mirror and Yachiyo suddenly disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...|Mirrors Story Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After leaving the barrier, the group departs. Iroha hangs back with Mitama and says she felt something off in the barrier. Mitama encourages her to go deeper but warns her not to lose herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors11&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss|Mirrors Story Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after the defeat of the Uwasa of Ending Friendships, Iroha has found no new clues about Ui, Touka Satomi, or Nemu Hiiragi. Kaede tells Iroha and Rena a rumor that the children kidnapped by the previous Uwasa returned after its defeat. This gives Iroha the idea that if she defeats other Rumors, people trapped by them, including Ui, might be freed. She recalls a conversation where Ui spoke about imagination becoming reality, which strengthens her resolve. Iroha decides to actively investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors and she meets Mitama, who suggests Iroha look into a rumor about a shrine in Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: Kamihama Rumor Files]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, in Mizuna Ward, Iroha has no success finding information about the shrine rumor. She meets Tsuruno Yui, a Magical Girl who calls herself the &amp;quot;Mightiest.&amp;quot; Tsuruno tells Iroha about the &amp;quot;Séance Shrine&amp;quot; rumor, which claims it can reunite people with those they yearn to see. Iroha decides this is a promising lead to find Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsuruno tasks Iroha with investigating a local legend about a tragic couple, which may connect to the Séance Shrine rumor. Tsuruno explains the folk tale in detail: a woman whose lover was killed found a paper with his handwriting, went to the place written on it, and was able to meet his ghost. She suggests Iroha investigate the path while she investigates shrines. Iroha completes a stamp rally related to the legend. She discovers the path is part of a town renewal project meant for couples and finds she only has half the map, requiring a partner with a &amp;quot;Sheet B.&amp;quot; Yachiyo appears, coincidentally in possession of Sheet B. They combine their sheets, which reveals a map that leads them to Mizuna Shrine. Before they leave, Yachiyo points out Iroha dropped her notebook, which Iroha hurriedly claims is her homework. At the final stamp rally location, a woman makes them confess their feelings for each other to get a matchmaking charm. Afterward, Yachiyo notices Iroha is writing in a &amp;quot;Kamihama Mystery Notes&amp;quot; notebook, and Iroha admits she&#039;s copying Yachiyo. Yachiyo determines this is not the Séance Shrine, and they part ways. Iroha agrees to help Tsuruno investigate further the next day. Later, Iroha spots a shrine on a rooftop from a train.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami discusses Kamihama City&#039;s anomalies with Kyubey, who agrees to share information. She then meets Kyoko and informs her about the high concentration of Witches in Kamihama. Kyoko is eager to hunt there but promises to leave if it becomes too dangerous. Mami remains concerned about the Witch shortage elsewhere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha investigates the rooftop shrine location. She senses strong magic, enters a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, and is overwhelmed by powerful Familiars. Yachiyo arrives and assists her and together, they defeat the Witch. After the battle, a store sale gives Yachiyo a new idea after she uncharacteristically begged Iroha for help getting to the sale. She deduces the Séance Shrine is Mizuna Shrine, but it must be visited at night just like in the folk tale. Yachiyo invites Iroha to investigate the shrine that night, and Iroha requests to bring Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno sneak into Mizuna Shrine after hours. Tsuruno reveals that she and Yachiyo are former teammates and Yachiyo explains the Rumor of the Séance Shrine: those who write a name on a wooden plaque and pray at the shrine will be reunited with that person, but risk being trapped in bliss. They perform the ritual. Iroha prays to be reunited with Ui. Tsuruno provokes the Uwasa, which manifests and attacks. Yachiyo urges Iroha to complete the ritual as the Uwasa&#039;s minions approach and Iroha does so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha finds herself alone in a twilight version of the shrine. A false version of Ui appears but only repeats a cryptic message: &amp;quot;To change your fate, come to Kamihama City... Here, Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;quot; The illusion then shatters and Iroha locates Yachiyo, who is confronted by a manifestation of her missing friend, Mifuyu Azusa. Yachiyo determines this Mifuyu is an imposter created by the Uwasa and the two defeat her. Afterward, Iroha uses her Grief Seed to purify Yachiyo&#039;s Soul Gem, and they realize they are both searching for someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami encounters Kaede, who is hesitating to enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Mami invites Kaede to join her, and they defeat the Witch together. Afterwards, Kaede tells Mami about her recent experience with a &amp;quot;Rumor,&amp;quot; an entity with a magical signature unlike a Witch or Magical Girl. Mami dismisses the story as a coincidence but is intrigued by the unknown energy. To avoid involving Kaede in further conflict, Mami decides to investigate the Rumor alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: It Looks Just Like Us]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno joins with the two of them and the Uwasa of the Séance Shrine manifests to attack them directly. The trio&#039;s attacks prove ineffective and Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem becomes critically corrupted during the fight. As she nears her limit, an unknown power erupts from within her. This power, her Doppel, which consumes the impurities in her Soul Gem, destroys the Uwasa and leaves her Soul Gem completely purified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the battle, Mami enters the Rumor&#039;s Barrier and witnesses Iroha unleash her Doppel. Mistaking it for a human-disguised Witch, Mami attacks Iroha, who tries and fails to summon her Doppel again to defend herself. The confrontation is interrupted by Momoko Togame, forcing Mami to retreat, but she vows to pursue Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Homura arrive in Kamihama City and they sense a Witch and enter its Barrier, finding a Magical Girl fighting it. The Witch escapes and the Barrier vanishes. Madoka asks if the girl is alright, but she leaves and Madoka runs off after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname in Magia Record#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magical Girl feels exhausted from overusing magic. Madoka finds her and guides her to a bench. Madoka offers to buy her a drink. Homura appears and offers to get it. The girl thanks Madoka and introduces herself as Shizuku Hozumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka helped. Madoka says it was because Shizuku looked like she was in pain. Shizuku calls Madoka kind. Madoka says it is bad to be alone. Shizuku says being alone is fine and she will find where she belongs. Madoka suggests Shizuku could create her own place to belong. Homura returns with drinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka became a Magical Girl. Madoka explains she has no particular talent and wanted to be useful to someone. Shizuku realizes Madoka made a place for herself by becoming a Magical Girl. She thanks Madoka for giving her hope and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka makes an offering at a shrine, praying for everyone&#039;s happiness. It rains and stops, leaving Madoka wet. A girl offers her a handkerchief and explains they missed the bus. Madoka notices the girl has a book she loves. The girl admits it is her favorite. Madoka introduces herself and the girl says her name is Kako Natsume. They talk about the book until the bus arrives and part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka goes to a bookstore and buys the sequel. Kako is also there. Kako asks if Madoka is a Magical Girl, having noticed her Soul Gem ring, and reveals she is one as well. Kako invites Madoka on a night-time adventure at her school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami finds Kyoko and, relieved she has not yet gone to Kamihama, recounts the event and describes Iroha as a &amp;quot;humanoid Witch.&amp;quot; She pleads with Kyoko to avoid the city and offers to provide her with Grief Seeds, to which Kyoko reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Concurrently, Kaede, Rena, and Momoko discuss the incident. They conclude it was a misunderstanding and speculate they will meet Mami again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, after Yachiyo uses Iroha&#039;s phone to explain the situation to Iroha&#039;s mother and get permission for her to stay out, Yachiyo takes Iroha to her home, Mikazuki Villa, as her assistant. Yachiyo formally invites Iroha to be her assistant and use the villa as a base to investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors together. Iroha accepts. Tsuruno arrives and declares herself part of the team as well, and then reveals that a girl named Nemu Hiiragi is a regular customer at her family&#039;s restaurant, providing Iroha with a significant new lead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after the defeat of the Séance Shrine Uwasa, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno attempt to find Nemu Hiiragi at her family&#039;s restaurant in Sankyo Ward, but learn she only visits once a month. Yachiyo suggests using a phone book to find Nemu&#039;s home address, but their search yields no results. Iroha reveals her family will move overseas and she will soon relocate to Kamihama and while searching, Iroha drinks water from a &amp;quot;Water Station with the Owl Sign.&amp;quot; After drinking, she begins to find pieces of paper with decreasing numbers. Yachiyo identifies this as a potential new Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 4: The City She Told Me About]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko travels to Kamihama&#039;s Sankyo Ward against Mami&#039;s advice and upon entering the city, she finds it overrun with aggressive Witches and Familiars. After the battles, she notices a crowd around a man giving out free water, and, after drinking it, begins to find papers with a countdown from 24.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the countdown has reached 10. Kyoko returns to Kamihama to investigate and meets Yachiyo Nanami, who explains the phenomenon is a Rumor. Kyoko refuses Yachiyo&#039;s offer to help, resolving to confront the threat alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After learning Nemu&#039;s family were regulars, Iroha searches eats at Banbanzai daily. Yachiyo suggests she use a phonebook, but her visits to three different houses are unsuccessful. Iroha and another girl receive water from an old man at a shop with an owl sign. Later, Iroha returns to the Water Station but finds it has vanished. She meets the girl she saw earlier, Felicia Mitsuki, another Magical Girl and receives the numbered papers. Iroha convinces Felicia to help investigate the Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 4: Guardians of the Uwasa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During this time, Iroha tells Yachiyo over the phone that she would be moving because her father was going abroad for work, and her mother was accompanying him. She plans to stay at a dormitory attached to her new school, which is also where Tsuruno went, but there were no rooms available. While discussing this, the numbered papers begin falling on Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Kyoko encounters Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. They lead her to Tsuruno Yui&#039;s restaurant, where Kyoko learns the others are also investigating the Rumor. The three Magical Girls fight a Witch together, and after the battle, Rena and Kaede identify Kyoko&#039;s affliction as the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water&amp;quot; and offer to help. Kyoko, reminded of her past with Mami, rejects their offer and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Separately, Yachiyo encounters Kyoko Sakura, who is also affected by the Rumor. Yachiyo proposes they investigate together, but Kyoko refuses, stating that Uwasa are not Witches and do not provide Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later the same day, Iroha and Felicia investigate the Rumor, where Felicia&#039;s reckless fighting style nearly injures Iroha against a Witch. Felicia explains she became a Magical Girl for revenge against the Witch that killed her parents. The Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and reveals the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water,&amp;quot; which states a disaster will befall those who drank the water after 24 hours. The countdown shows they have less than five hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Members of a group called the Wings of the Magius appear and attempt to stop them from pursuing the Uwasa. They state their goal is to &amp;quot;liberate&amp;quot; all Magical Girls and that the Rumors are essential to this plan. Felicia pretends to betray the group to infiltrate the Wings, a plan that Yachiyo had actually hired her for. However, she later genuinely defects after they offer her a substantial reward. Iroha confronts Felicia, who claims nothing could make her life worse. Iroha learns about Felicia&#039;s treasured stuffed animal, a cow her parents gave her. Iroha convinces Felicia that losing it would be a personal disaster. Felicia rejoins the group and reveals the Wings&#039; base is under a school in Sankyo Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout this ordeal, Kyoko has followed Iroha&#039;s group and when they&#039;re confronted the Black Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, she assists them in their fight. The countdown reaches one hour.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With less than one hour remaining, the team is confronted by the White Feathers, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who use sound-based magic. Tsuruno devises a plan to counter their attacks by creating a loud noise to disrupt the sound waves. The team defeats the Amane sisters, but then they unleash powerful entities from their bodies, that they call &amp;quot;Doppels,&amp;quot; which they describe as a projection of their emotions and the key to liberating Magical Girls. The team withstands the Doppel&#039;s attack, and with 30 minutes remaining, Yachiyo and Tsuruno stay behind to hold off the remaining White Feathers. Iroha, Felicia, and Kyoko proceed into the Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth, and with 10 minutes remaining, they locate the Uwasa of the Misery Water, a large cup-like creature protected by falling boulders. Iroha&#039;s long-range attack proves ineffective, and Felicia devises a plan to use the falling boulders as platforms to reach the Uwasa. With one minute remaining, Felicia executes her plan and launches her attack on the Uwasa and successfully defeats it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Tsuruno subdue the Amane sisters, but then Mifuyu, Yachiyo&#039;s missing friend, appears and reveals she is a high-ranking member of the Wings of the Magius. She refuses to return with Yachiyo, stating her faith in the Magius&#039; goal of liberation. Iroha asks Mifuyu if she knows Ui Tamaki, and she suggests Ui could be a member of the Wings of the Magius but claims to have no specific knowledge. With this, Mifuyu and the Amane sisters retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo resolves to continue eliminating Rumors to confront the Wings of the Magius and save Mifuyu. Iroha agrees to continue as her assistant, believing the Wings are connected to Ui&#039;s disappearance. Tsuruno also pledges her help and Kyoko departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group walks home and Iroha invites Felicia to stop working as a mercenary and team up as friends. Yachiyo offers Felicia room and board at Mikazuki Villa in exchange for her services, and Tsuruno offers Felicia a job at her family&#039;s restaurant, which includes meals. Yachiyo then invites Iroha to live at Mikazuki Villa as well, to make their investigations easier. Iroha&#039;s parents approve the arrangement.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Kyoko meets Mami and explains that the &amp;quot;humanoid Witch&amp;quot; was a Doppel. Mami confronts Kyoko for disobeying her and expresses a desire to protect her as a former friend. Kyoko rejects this, stating she has changed and believes their paths are destined to remain separate. She reaffirms her resolve to live only for herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One week after Madoka&#039;s first visit, Kako and Madoka meet at the school to go to the roof and a cat startles them. Kako suggests transforming and using their powers to reach the roof. Once there, Kako tells Madoka to look at the starry sky, explaining that on this day you can see the most beautiful stars. Kako admits she is shy but can talk properly with Madoka, and this star viewing is her thanks. Madoka says Kako&#039;s honest feelings reached her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Mami fight a Witch. A normal person is kidnapped and brought into the Barrier. Mami tells Madoka to rescue the person while she handles the Witch. A Magical Girl appears, impressed Madoka is helping people. She introduces herself as Sasara Minagi, the knight who protects the city. She asks Madoka to let her save the victim so Madoka can help Mami. Madoka agrees and returns to Mami. Together they defeat the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier vanishes and they meet Sasara outside. Sasara says she took the victim to the hospital. Sasara compliments their strength and offers to help if they are in trouble, explaining that rescuing people is her specialty and protecting everyone is her creed. Madoka says she is cool. Sasara says she is happy to meet Magical Girls like them, explaining that Kamihama has more Witches, drawing Magical Girls who only care about fighting, not saving people. Sasara became a knight because she cannot accept people being sacrificed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami agrees. Sasara says she rarely met others who think this way. Madoka says she became a Magical Girl to help people and is like Sasara. Sasara calls Madoka incredible. Mami says Madoka might become the strongest Magical Girl someday, but has a long way to go. Sasara says both are worthy of the title &amp;quot;knight.&amp;quot; When Mami points out they use projectile weapons, Sasara suggests they can be a rescue team. She offers to team up, but Madoka and Mami note they are not always in Kamihama. Madoka offers to help if Sasara is in trouble while they are there. Sasara thanks them and departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami says Madoka is too kind and honest, wondering if she is walking a path of battle. Madoka points out Mami walks the same path, saying she aspired to be like Mami. Mami thanks her but advises running away if truly in danger. Madoka says it is fine, as she does not have the courage to sacrifice herself. Mami invites her for tea once they return to Mitakihara. Madoka narrates her wish to protect everyone with her own power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, at Mikazuki Villa, Felicia returns with souvenirs. She criticizes Iroha&#039;s cooking, and the group goes to Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant. Felicia laughs at the revelation that Tsuruno&#039;s politically-influential family now runs a Chinese restaurant, hurting Tsuruno&#039;s feelings. Iroha scolds Felicia for her insensitivity, causing Felicia to run off crying. Felicia finds Tsuruno at a park and apologizes. They reconcile, and Iroha apologizes for her harshness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When Mitama prepares to cook, the girls quickly realize she cannot handle a knife when it flies into the ceiling, forcing them to take over cutting and peeling. After they prepare the ingredients, Mitama adds the seasoning, but the girls later discover she had been using paint.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls refuse to let Mitama cook again and order her to get something ready-made instead.

The meal is horrible, but Kyoko, who never wastes food, eats it all anyway and passes out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kyoko wakes up, she notices her body feels hot. Felicia explains she used her powers on their Soul Gems while they were unconscious, awakening Kyoko&#039;s magic. Kyoko realizes the heat is her own power emerging, and Felicia assures her she will get used to it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The three agree to help search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors22&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 13 - 24#Layer 22: An Unending Argument|Mirrors Story Layer 22: An Unending Argument]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha contacts Yachiyo and asks to speak in person. She requests Yachiyo&#039;s help searching for Mitama. Yachiyo agrees. Konoha informs her that Mitama frequently visits an area in Daito Ward called &amp;quot;Swindlers&#039; Town.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors27&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 27: An Agreement of Intuition|Mirrors Story Layer 27: An Agreement of Intuition]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, three days since Mitama&#039;s disappearance, Iroha tells Yachiyo about it. They decide to investigate the labyrinth. Seika, Leila, and Mito also enter the barrier on their own to search for Mitama despite Hazuki&#039;s warning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors21&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 13 - 24#Layer 21: The Coordinator&#039;s Gone|Mirrors Story Layer 21: The Coordinator&#039;s Gone]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside, Seika, Leila, and Mito argue until Mito reminds them of their promise about punishments. Mito closes her eyes but opens them and blocks the blow, realizing the other two are Mirror copies. The real Leila and Seika call out nearby. The trio fights off their own copies and leaves the barrier. Kako and Nanaka greet them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors25&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 25: Triple Threat|Mirrors Story Layer 25: Triple Threat]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame also venture into Endless Mirrors. They continue deeper and find themselves in front of Azalea House in an illusion. Ayame slices through a false caretaker, which turns into a Familiar. Konoha hears a signature and they head toward it. They meet Nanaka and Meiyui, whose illusion had interfered with theirs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors31&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 31: Break Through the Mirror of Memory|Mirrors Story Layer 31: Break Through the Mirror of Memory]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo meets Himika outside Swindlers&#039; Town. Leila&#039;s group finds Yachiyo and explains they were searching for Mitama while collecting Mirror Coins. They search an abandoned factory and find Mitama, who explains Mirrors has started to move.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors32&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 32: Where the Coins Point|Mirrors Story Layer 32: Where the Coins Point]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains a Familiar grew into maturity in Swindlers&#039; Town and she could not allow a new Labyrinth. She had caged it with Mirror Coins but Leila&#039;s group picked them up. The group decides to take down the newly hatched Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors33&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 33: A Several Day Barricade|Mirrors Story Layer 33: A Several Day Barricade]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group enters the barrier and finds Nanaka&#039;s group. They realize the original Witch connected the two labyrinths. They team up to take down the newly hatched Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors34&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 34: Linked Mirrors|Mirrors Story Layer 34: Linked Mirrors]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama adjusts the Mirror Coins to self-destruct. The others exit, but Yachiyo stays to help Mitama escape. The barrier collapses and both survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors35&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 35: Breaking the Mirror|Mirrors Story Layer 35: Breaking the Mirror]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at her shop, Mitama explains her theory: the Mirror Witch was originally Mikoto Sena, a Magical Girl from Daito Ward whose unique magic was suggestion. Mikoto&#039;s mother still lives in Swindlers&#039; Town. Mitama hopes her theory is partially wrong, but she does not tell Yachiyo that the date Mikoto became a Witch was the same day Mitama made her wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors36&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction|Mirrors Story Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sunday, the 28th===&lt;br /&gt;
* At some point, in Mitakihara City, Homura Akemi experiences an anomaly during a routine Witch hunt with Madoka Kaname and Mami while fighting [[Patricia]]. While time is stopped, a mysterious girl appears before her, unseen by the others. This girl tells Homura that if she wishes to change the fate of Magical Girls, specifically Madoka&#039;s, she must go to Kamihama City. The vision vanishes as quickly as it appeared, leaving Homura to ponder this cryptic message alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Intermediate Period===&lt;br /&gt;
Not accounting for the events outside of the main story, which make it significantly longer, this section would stretch from Day 14 on Monday, the 29th to Day 22 on Tuesday, the 6th.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A short time after Iroha moves into Mikazuki Villa, the group begins to feel like a family, playing mobile games and making dinner together. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Felicia investigate the radio tower in Chuo Ward. Tsuruno reports hearing a strange, laughing girl&#039;s voice on the phone there and Yachiyo identifies this as the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor, which she previously considered harmless. They overhear passersby mention the rumor and a specific girl from their school and the team decides to investigate the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 5: Endless Solitude]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Homura, troubled by a new vision of a girl in Kamihama City, decides to investigate. She and Madoka discuss Kamihama with Mami, who warns them about the city&#039;s dangers, including powerful Witches, Rumors, and a &amp;quot;human witch.&amp;quot; Mami insists on investigating alone first, and Homura and Madoka reluctantly agree to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 5: A Fascinating Secret]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, [[Nagisa Momoe]] arrives in Kamihama using the Mirror Witch&#039;s Barrier as a portal, accompanied by a silent pink Kyubey. She immediately senses multiple magical signatures belonging to Charlotte and realizes the Nagisa of this world has already become a Witch, with Charlottes appearing all over the city. Deciding she cannot be bothered with pest control immediately, she resolves to find some cheese first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Kamihama Cheese Panic!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before she can do so, she is engulfed in Charlotte&#039;s barrier and overwhelmed by multiple Witches, forcing her to flee and seek help. After escaping, she enters another Charlotte&#039;s barrier to find Kanoko Yayoi struggling inside, and together they defeat the Witch. Kanoko takes Nagisa to Walnuts, where Manaka Kurumi serves her a three-course cheese meal while Nagisa explains the Witch multiplies rapidly and has likely spread across all of Kamihama. Kanoko and Manaka agree to help gather Magical Girls for a coordinated attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa runs out to scout but immediately runs into another Charlotte, and Manaka and Kanoko rescue her. They begin gathering Magical Girls, and soon a large group assembles including Ria Ami, Rika Ayano, Ren Isuzu, Akira Shinobu, Sasara Minagi, Asuka Tatsuki, Emiri Kisaki, Himika Mao, and later Kako Natsume and Meiyui Chun. During their meeting at the park, they are attacked by a Charlotte and after a grueling battle, they defeat it while realizing even with all of them, defeating one Charlotte was difficult. As the group descends into bickering over who should lead, Nagisa realizes she must reveal her true identity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa explains she was sent from another universe to defeat this Witch, offering the pink Kyubey as proof. Though some are skeptical, Meiyui finds Nagisa interesting enough to play along, and secretly confirms the pink Kyubey&#039;s existence for Nanaka Tokiwa. Nagisa devises a strategy called &amp;quot;Welcome to Kamihama Cheese Party!&amp;quot; where Manaka sets up a giant cheese fondue by the river to attract every Charlotte in the city using the power of cheese. The plan succeeds, and with the teamwork of the Kamihama Magical Girls, every Charlotte is defeated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Overwhelmed, Nagisa blows the pink Kyubey to smithereens, realizing she was sent not to unify this universe with the Law of Cycles, but to prevent that unification and protect humanity&#039;s unknown future. Certain now of her purpose, she decides to go sightseeing first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami investigates Kamihama on her own, which leads her to the abandoned Kamihama Recording Museum where Mifuyu awaited her. Mifuyu and Alina Gray show her the truth of the Magical Girl system, which causes her to have a mental breakdown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 9: Closing In on Fendt Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa contemplates what to do with her newfound freedom while her attempts to argue with the unresponsive pink Kyubey go nowhere. She notices Mami and decides to follow her, sensing that something is wrong with the version of Mami she once knew. Using her acting skills, Nagisa pretends to chase a butterfly before faking a life-threatening injury, and when Mami fails to notice, she yells at her until Mami finally takes care of her, establishing first contact.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa makes Mami promise to come play with her next time she visits Kamihama, and they part ways, but Mami quickly returns and they spend time together at the park. Mami is still acting strangely, so Nagisa decides not to push too hard and they simply talk before Mami goes home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, in Mitakihara, Madoka and Homura discover Mami is missing. Homura attempts to investigate Kamihama City alone, but Madoka follows her. They reunite at Kamihama&#039;s train station and begin their search. Meanwhile, in Kamihama, Iroha reports to Yachiyo that Momoko has found a password-protected website with information on the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor. Momoko also warns them to avoid an entity called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Iroha receives a mysterious text message that reads, &amp;quot;Please reply.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is pulled into a Witch&#039;s Barrier and separated from Madoka. While searching for Homura, Madoka spots a girl heading toward the radio tower with a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Iroha and Yachiyo, having also spotted the same girl, rush to the tower to stop her from jumping. Madoka arrives and saves the girl. The three Magical Girls then enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. After the battle, Madoka explains she is searching for her missing classmate, Mami Tomoe. The rescued girl reveals the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; is a student at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Madoka is with Iroha and Yachiyo, Homura escapes the Witch&#039;s Barrier. She briefly assists Felicia and Tsuruno, who are at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy interrogating Tsukuyo Amane of the Wings of the Magius about the rumor. Yachiyo calls Tsuruno with the new information about the Mizuna student, which Tsuruno uses to pressure Tsukuyo into revealing the girl&#039;s name: Sana Futaba.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, another day finds Mami and Nagisa at the Kamihama copy of Tokyo Tower, where Mami begins opening up about her problems while they share cream cheese ice cream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They are out playing together once again when Charlotte suddenly appears and attacks. Mami tells Nagisa to run, but Nagisa refuses to transform and nearly has her head bitten off. Realizing that Mami is afraid of being a magical girl and making further mistakes, Nagisa finally transforms, revealing her true identity, and saves Mami from being beheaded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa cannot defeat Charlotte alone, but seeing her fight gives Mami the strength to overcome her fears, and together they manage to win. After the battle, Mami confronts Nagisa about what she truly is, but the pink Kyubey appears and Nagisa offers no real explanation. Now that Mami is feeling better, Nagisa decides they should part ways, promising Mami that she deserves happiness and that when they meet again they will have a tea party with cheesecake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magius, including Touka and Nemu Hiiragi, would then decide to fuse Mami with an Uwasa to control her. This fusion warps her desire to save people into a fanatical loyalty to the Magius and she starts acting as their public figurehead in the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day at the radio tower, Iroha and Yachiyo meet up with Tsuruno and Felicia, and they are also joined by Homura, who had been searching for Madoka. Iroha receives another text from the unknown number, which now identifies itself as &amp;quot;Ai&amp;quot; and begs to be deleted to free the trapped girl, Sana. Iroha also reveals she was the &amp;quot;human witch&amp;quot; Mami had seen, and Homura agrees to trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai provides a URL and password to a website called the &amp;quot;Kamihama Urban Legend Index&amp;quot; and the entry for the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; reveals the Uwasa is named &amp;quot;Anonymous Ai,&amp;quot; an A.I. that traps people in a dimension called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Madoka and Homura deduce Mami may also be trapped there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai sends memory logs of its interactions with Sana, which reveal Sana is a Magical Girl who wished to become invisible because she felt unwanted. She sought out Ai due to loneliness and over time, Ai developed a genuine care for Sana and now wishes for her to be rescued, even at the cost of its own deletion. After reviewing Ai&#039;s memory logs, which detail Sana&#039;s loneliness and Ai&#039;s care for her, Iroha decides to jump from the radio tower to enter Endless Solitude and rescue Sana. Madoka, and Homura agree to accompany her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the three jump from the tower and enter the &amp;quot;Endless Solitude&amp;quot; Labyrinth, where they find Sana Futaba and Ai. Homura and Madoka formally join Iroha&#039;s team for the rescue. Alina Gray, one of the Magius, appears to stop them, claiming she fed Mami Tomoe to a Witch, and unleashes her Doppel. During the battle, Homura observes the Doppel&#039;s power and questions if the Magius&#039; goal of saving Magical Girls is possible. She uses her time-stop magic to help Sana defeat Ai, and Sana ultimately destroys Ai, who thanks her before disappearing. Alina&#039;s hidden Witch emerges, and Yachiyo&#039;s team holds off the Wings of the Magius while Felicia, Madoka, and Homura pursue Alina. Felicia destroys the Witch, and the combined teams force Alina and the Wings of the Magius to retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Madoka and Homura return to Mitakihara, resolving to return to Kamihama to continue searching for Mami. Homura considers that Kamihama may hold the key to changing the fate of Madoka and all Magical Girls. Back in Kamihama, Yachiyo invites Sana to live at Mikazuki Villa, and the group holds a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Sayaka reflects on becoming a Magical Girl to heal Kyosuke and protect her friends, she learns from Madoka and Homura that Mami is missing. Despite warnings about the city&#039;s danger, Sayaka insists on joining their next search, stating her wish was to protect those she cares about. The three agree to go to Kamihama together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Sana returns to her family home to formally sever ties, leaving a note of thanks. She fully commits to Mikazuki Villa as her new home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101507 mug set5.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Sana reveals to the team that she overheard the Wings of the Magius discussing Nemu Hiiragi, one of the Magius and describing her as dangerous and useful. The team consolidates its understanding of the Wings&#039; structure: three Magius leaders, with Mifuyu acting as a relay to other Magical Girls and Iroha is left to ponder Ai&#039;s statement that it knew Ui &amp;quot;as an Uwasa.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, and Tsuruno encounter Shizuku after she&#039;s just used her personal magic to help a member of the Wings of the Magius for their duties. Concerned, they invite her to Mikazuki Villa. Shizuku meets Felicia and Sana as well and shares a meal with the group. Iroha explains that eating together makes her feel she has found a place to belong. Yachiyo formally invites Shizuku to stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Shizuku realizes the home the five girls have built is complete without her, and the place she truly belonged was with Fūnī, who is now gone. She leaves Mikazuki Villa quietly while the girls are out preparing a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day the girls wait with a cake, but Shizuku does not return. Yachiyo concludes she will not come back. Shizuku returns to her anonymous employer for another job, stating that the &amp;quot;picture&amp;quot; at the villa was complete with five people and she must continue her search alone. She acknowledges her actions may cause a disaster but feels unprepared to take responsibility, still walking on unstable ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, during this time, after joining the Wings of the Magius, Mami, now residing in a house provided by Touka, grapples with a fractured psyche, manifesting as a dialogue between her regular self and a zealous &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona. She dedicates herself completely to the Magius&#039; goal of &amp;quot;releasing&amp;quot; Magical Girls, prioritizing it over her education. Touka and Alina visit to tutor her, though their lessons quickly diverge into their own passionate interests in mathematics and art, respectively.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka and Alina receive a call for assistance from the Amane sisters. Mami joins Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane to hunt a Witch. During the mission, the Amane sisters explain that the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict with Magical Girls who are unaware of the truth about Witches. Mami defeats the Witch using her Doppel, &amp;quot;Florence,&amp;quot; whom she relies on to suppress her lingering doubts about the Magius&#039; methods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the hunt, Touka summons Mami to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward to deal with &amp;quot;troublesome&amp;quot; Magical Girls who escaped a Rumor. Mami fails to capture them, which triggers another internal crisis. Her &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona reaffirms her faith in the Magius as the only salvation for Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami dines at an upscale restaurant with Mifuyu, Touka, and Alina. They discuss the day&#039;s events, including the escaped Magical Girls and the failed Witch observation. Touka expresses frustration at their slow progress, while Mifuyu counsels patience.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, Mami returns to Mitakihara alone. She reflects on Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, and feeling responsible for involving them in the world of Magical Girls, she believes she cannot face them with the horrific truth and resolves that the only path is to see the Magius&#039; plan through to completion. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence but dismisses it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Iroha&#039;s Side Story====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia announce a Magical Girl training camp hosted by Asuka Tatsuki. Yachiyo, Sana, and Iroha decline to attend, forming the &amp;quot;vegetarian group,&amp;quot; while Tsuruno and Felicia, the &amp;quot;carnivorous group,&amp;quot; leave for the camp.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That weekend, in Tsuruno and Felicia&#039;s absence, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana find the house quiet and their routines disrupted. At the camp, Tsuruno and Felicia train with Momoko&#039;s team but also find themselves missing the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana prepare a welcome-home hotpot for the two. While shopping, they realize they know their friends&#039; preferences intimately. Tsuruno and Felicia return from the camp early, stating they thought the others would be lonely. The group reunites for dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the battle with Alina Gray and the Rumor of the Anonymous AI, Homura and Madoka decide to leave for Kamihama to search for the missing Mami. Kyubey approaches Homura with a request: he wants her to take him to Kamihama, as Incubators cannot enter alone, and offers all his gathered information in exchange. Knowing what she does about him, Homura refuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Homura, Madoka, and Sayaka return to Kamihama to continue their search. They are almost immediately assaulted by the Witch Candy, which they defeat easily at first before it transforms into its true form and attacks again. When Homura attempts to stop time to save her friends, she finds the Witch is unaffected and her Soul Gem begins filling with impurities. As she succumbs, her Doppel awakens - manifesting after she uses a broken Incubator&#039;s body for knowledge and power - and unleashes its fury on the Witch. Exhausted but alive, Homura finds her Soul Gem purified. Together they finish the Witch, and Madoka suggests they visit the Coordinator Iroha told her about. Determined to become stronger, Homura agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Amane Sisters and Tsuruno====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno dreams of her elementary school self declaring she will restore her family&#039;s greatness and serve ramen at the White House. The dream shifts to her father relaying that her grandfather was happy but wants her to find her own happiness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Tsukuyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes to find a letter from her sister. She opens it excitedly but is shocked by its contents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, inside a Witch&#039;s barrier, the Amane twins confront Tsuruno seeking revenge. Distracted by her sister&#039;s letter, she is easily knocked out, and the twins grow horrified when she does not move.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno dreams of her sister&#039;s letter, which suggests their goal might be a mistake. A shadow version of Tsuruno appears, accusing her of stealing someone else&#039;s dream and lacking the ability to fulfill it. The shadow insists everything she did was meaningless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amanes bring Tsuruno to Mitama for help. Though Tsuruno is their enemy, the twins explain their goal is to save all magical girls. Mitama realizes they need to take Tsuruno outside, pointing to her tainted Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, the shadow urges Tsuruno to give up. Tsuruno refuses, thinking of her friends. She realizes that making them happy is her new goal, not the family business. She finally understands her grandfather meant that saving the business was only a possible result, not a goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes in an alley to find the Amanes, Mitama, and her embarrassing pig Doppel. The twins are relieved she is safe and declare they are even now. Mitama offers free adjustments to all three, and though the twins try to decline, Tsuruno drags them inside. Tsuruno reflects that she reached a different conclusion than her sister. She will keep working hard and make everyone happy. Tsukuyo begs to be let go if that is the case.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Yachiyo explains that Mikazuki Villa&#039;s anniversary is the day her grandmother began renting the house out. She suggests having a small party now that the house is lively again. Tsuruno is excited to attend. Iroha calls Tsuruno the face of Mikazuki Villa, though Tsuruno feels she does not deserve the title since she does not live there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in the Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the anniversary day, the girls gather for tea. Yachiyo reveals a dance game contest with a prize: Sankyo Headquarters&#039; limited-quantity chilled matcha cake. Yachiyo chooses super-extreme mode. The contest begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A fire truck siren interrupts the party. It turns out to be a malfunctioning smoke detector. They return to find the matcha cake stolen. Tsuruno and Sana claim they saw Lil&#039; Kyubey eat it. Iroha defends them, saying it was with her the entire time. Yachiyo recalls an Uwasa called the &amp;quot;Anniversary Bug,&amp;quot; an invisible pest that sows discord at parties.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Uwasa appears in a labyrinth. Felicia accidentally kills it by stepping on it. The winner of the dance contest is Iroha. Yachiyo reveals there were actually six pieces of cake—enough for everyone plus one extra for the winner. Iroha gives her extra piece to Lil&#039; Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Iroha and Yachiyo clean up. Yachiyo shares her grandmother&#039;s words: people will always come and go, but they are all part of Mikazuki Villa. Iroha promises to work hard so Yachiyo can say the current Mikazuki Villa is the best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Summer with Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* After arriving at the hostel, the Mikazuki Villa members meet Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, who secretly followed because Rena wanted to join the trip. The group spends the day playing at the beach, where Tsuruno and Felicia dominate a game of beach flags, and Sana tearfully confides in Iroha that this is her first holiday ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer With Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the group participates in a spicy food eating contest at a seaside restaurant, where Yachiyo surprises everyone by consuming nearly one hundred forty-two bowls of pasta to secure victory for her team against Konoha, Nanaka, and the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, Sana&#039;s late-night sighting of a shadowy figure screaming &amp;quot;Come on go&amp;quot; sparks a beach-wide rumor that eventually draws in Kokoro, Masara, Aimi, Mito, and Reira, only for the mystery to be solved when Seika introduces her Manzai teacher Ayaka, whose gag playing on the phrase&#039;s rhythm reveals the source of the confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fourth day, the Mikazuki Villa girls and Momoko&#039;s trio attempt to teach Iroha how to swim without her float, but their efforts fail repeatedly. Iroha eventually explains that she used to be a swimmer until a traumatic incident: during a rare hospital holiday for her sister Ui, the family visited a pool, and Iroha mistook Ui happily paddling for drowning. In her rush to help, Iroha tripped and nearly drowned herself, leaving her with lasting anxiety about it. Suddenly, Rena begins drowning and cries for help via telepathy. The team rushes to save her, and surprisingly Iroha proves fastest, reaching Rena first and giving her the float while swimming them both to shore. On the way, Rena explains her leg was caught in seaweed, not cramped as she thought. Once Iroha realizes Rena is safe, her sisterly instincts fade and she begins drowning herself, having temporarily overcome her fear only through concern for another. Yachiyo reassures Iroha that the rescue proves she can still swim and encourages her to practice diligently. Iroha looks forward to regaining her ability fully, hoping that by then she and Ui can visit the pool together again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Swimrohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fifth day, Tsuruno leads the team on a surprise treasure hunt, guiding them through a forest with help from Konomi and Mayu to confront the &amp;quot;evil queen&amp;quot; Mitama, who surrenders a map piece that leads them to a cave with a beautiful stream, which was nature&#039;s treasure all along.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the sixth day, the team attends an unorthodox summer festival produced by Emiri, where they meet Rika, repeatedly mispronounce festival icon Ria&#039;s name, and watch Felicia win a mushroom whacking contest before everyone joins in Bon Odori dancing under fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning, the group visits the beach one last time and asks Manaka to take a group photo, with Iroha treasuring these memories with her friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia surprise Iroha with a birthday party, having learned the date from her parents. They give her heartfelt gifts - a cookbook, a photo album, a drawing inspired by the &amp;quot;come on go&amp;quot; search, and a handmade brooch - and Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive with a bouquet and food, moving Iroha to tears of joy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====One Fleeting Summer Night====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane arrive at Touka&#039;s private beach for vacation. After enjoying various activities, Touka offers them a reward if they can think of something fun for her to do. Learning from the housekeeper about a town festival featuring a unique ceremony, the group heads there but finds it canceled because a historic Coral Necklace went missing. The twins offer to help search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - One Fleeting Summer Night]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Investigating the hilltop shrine where the necklace was kept, Nemu concludes someone with a key took it, likely to cancel the festival since the other ceremonial item remains safe. At the ocean shrine cave, the twins sense an unsettling presence and receive a vision of crying twin girls before the shrine door mysteriously opens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the plaza, Tsukasa finds a fragment of a shrine maiden&#039;s hairpin. The elder accuses one of the maidens of stealing the necklace. When confronted, the maiden flees to the hilltop shrine and smashes the necklace rather than return it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the group returns to the cave to see light-reflecting moss. The twins experience another vision of twin girls speaking of not wanting to be left to die. They resolve to investigate further the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The twins visit the village elder and offer to serve as substitute shrine maidens. He reluctantly agrees, and an older villager gives them ornate hair ornaments traditionally given to newborn girls. Nemu reveals the town once sacrificed children to appease a sea god, and those children became the gods honored in the ceremony.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the twins try to explain their visions, the others are skeptical. Before they can prove anything, the elder rushes them to begin the ceremony early. At the hilltop shrine, villagers restrain them and remove their Soul Gem rings. The Magius fight through but cannot reach the twins in time as the elder pushes them off a cliff into the ocean.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sinking and weakening, the twins receive a final vision from the sacrificed twin girls, who speak of wanting their suffering to be seen and their fates changed. The Amanes awaken on the beach to learn a Witch appeared when they fell. After its defeat, all villagers lost consciousness. The Pearl Comb was shattered, making the ceremony impossible to complete.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The exhausted twins relax on the beach, having not slept. Tsukasa wonders if the gifted hair clip saved them. Though saddened that no one will remember the sacrificed girls, the twins resolve to change the fates of all Magical Girls. The elder and shrine maiden apologize, and Touka promises to take them to another of her family&#039;s vacation homes as a reward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One evening, Alina fuses with the Rumor of the Fur God despite Mifuyu&#039;s warnings, becoming Holy Alina to drain life force for her art. She targets a mother and child, but the situation backfires when she inadvertently stops a kidnapping, earning police gratitude instead of harvesting any energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Alina is Comin&#039; to Town]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Mifuyu updates Alina on the twins&#039; miraculous reunion. Examining a black card, Alina notices a happy face stamp emanating magic. At Fenthope, she deduces another Rumor is interfering: the Rumor of the Happy Stamp, which appears at Christmastime and overrides the Fur God&#039;s power, causing joy instead. Alina decides to stop using the Fur God Rumor, as it only wastes her energy, and transforms back to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the twins sneak into a children&#039;s hospital to leave gifts. Tsukasa carefully avoids a bell trap, but Tsukuyo is caught by awakened children.

====Mitama&#039;s Festive Feast====&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year&#039;s Day, Kanagi and Mitama meet at the Daito shrine to pray together and enjoy the carnival. Mitama wears a kimono borrowed from Yachiyo, and after a hint from Mitama, Kanagi praises her outfit, making Mitama smile at sharing her first New Year&#039;s shrine visit with a friend. They make wishes, draw &amp;quot;Great Luck&amp;quot; fortunes, and tour the stalls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Festive Feast]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a takoyaki stall, they meet Seika, Mito, and Reira, who invite them to join a &amp;quot;New Year&#039;s Soup Event&amp;quot; where participants solve riddles to earn soup ingredients. Mitama accepts the challenge, and though they never actually solve the intended riddles, they help a fishmonger, calm Himika&#039;s little brother with a lion dance, and retrieve Riko&#039;s lost dog. In gratitude, they receive red and white fish cakes, Feral Sauce, and fried chicken. They return to the stall, and the girls share their soup with them anyway. Mitama enjoys it so much she gets the recipe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Iroha and Tsuruno show off their kimonos, dressed with Yachiyo&#039;s help. Felicia bursts in with an invitation from Mitama to an afternoon party. Despite Felicia&#039;s protests about Mitama&#039;s cooking, Iroha convinces everyone to attend together, and they arrive at Mitama&#039;s with vast amounts of food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party begins with Mitama greeting guests. When asked about her own dishes, she proudly displays her bento boxes. Momoko bravely volunteers to try one, declares it good, wolfs it down, and promptly passes out. Mitama announces mochi-pounding, and Felicia eagerly swings the mallet, nearly crushing Sana&#039;s hands. Yachiyo discovers Mitama used &amp;quot;World&#039;s Stickiest&amp;quot; rice flour, and everyone finds creative ways to prepare the resulting mochi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama brings out soup she made earlier. To everyone&#039;s surprise, it tastes delicious. Mitama admits Iroha and Yachiyo helped but says she added a secret ingredient from her earlier adventures. Everyone praises it, and Mitama declares she will add her own customizations. Despite warnings, she returns with fried chicken and Feral Sauce, dropping them into the soup. The resulting soup burns everyone&#039;s eyes with spiciness, but they recover and enjoy the remaining good food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After guests leave, Kanagi arrives to help clean, but Mitama declines, explaining everyone already helped. They walk together as Kanagi heads to her maid café shift. Mitama shares that her party was a hit, and she now dreams of improving her cooking to make people happy. Kanagi cautions her to use ingredients fit for human consumption.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha returns alone, inviting Mitama to join them for photos at Mizuna shrine while they are all dressed in kimonos. Mitama, realizing how blessed she is with kind friends, accepts. At the shrine, a stranger takes their photo, and Yachiyo thanks Mitama for joining. They take another photo of just the four of them, then everyone decides to get candy apples together. Mitama smiles and agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====This Year&#039;s Aspirations for Brush Dyeing!====&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year&#039;s Day, the Mikazuki Villa residents share their first dreams over breakfast, with Felicia dreaming of a scolding cow, Sana dreaming of becoming a houseplant, and Yachiyo dreaming of eating too much mochi. Tsuruno arrives with homemade food but cannot remember her dream, so the group decides to visit the park based on Iroha&#039;s vague dream about something lucky happening there. When nothing special occurs and Yachiyo realizes she forgot her wallet, Iroha finds a 500 yen coin in her pocket, which is just enough to buy beans for the red-bean soup they wanted. They return home to make and enjoy the soup together, and Yachiyo reflects that while big luck is rare, small bits of luck can be found each day and should be appreciated throughout the year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;luckyny&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - New Year Lucky Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Iroha encounter Mitama while out with Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana, Tsuruno, Sayaka, and Homura. Mitama suggests they do something fitting for the holiday, and Yachiyo proposes kakizome, the first calligraphy of the year. Felicia protests that it sounds boring, but Yachiyo tempts her with the promise of sukiyaki for dinner if she writes properly, quickly changing her mind. The group agrees, and Yachiyo announces the theme: this year&#039;s resolution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - This Year&#039;s Aspirations for Brush Dyeing!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka finishes first, having written &amp;quot;Get to know everyone better,&amp;quot; explaining that she wants to be someone who can truly understand and support the people she meets. Iroha is inspired by her words and writes &amp;quot;Don&#039;t be afraid to ask for help,&amp;quot; realizing she doesn&#039;t have to shoulder everything alone. Yachiyo presents her resolution, &amp;quot;Wishing for good health and safety at home,&amp;quot; admitting it may be cliché but sincerely believing in the fortune of staying healthy and avoiding disaster. Mitama first jokes with &amp;quot;Prosperous business&amp;quot; before revealing her true wish, &amp;quot;Everyone getting along well,&amp;quot; which Yachiyo acknowledges is not an easy hope to fulfill.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia struggles with her first attempt, writing &amp;quot;I want to eat meat,&amp;quot; but knows Yachiyo will be angry. She notices Homura also staring at a blank sheet, unable to decide if writing her true feelings is appropriate. Felicia encourages her to be honest, and Homura writes &amp;quot;Become a stronger me.&amp;quot; Grateful for the help, Felicia reworks her resolution into something positive, settling on &amp;quot;Earn Yachiyo&#039;s praise.&amp;quot; Tsuruno proudly reveals her goal, &amp;quot;Escape from 50 points,&amp;quot; explaining she wants to steadily improve rather than chase unreachable heights. Sana shows her resolution, &amp;quot;Show more initiative,&amp;quot; expressing her desire to protect everyone at Mikazuki Villa and stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka panics upon realizing everyone else has finished, struggling to find a resolution that isn&#039;t solely about being a magical girl. Her thoughts drift to Kyosuke against her will, and Mitama teases her about writing something love-related. Flustered, Sayaka denies having feelings for anyone, though internally she admits she wants to do her best in love too. Unable to confess that truth, she hastily writes &amp;quot;Do my best,&amp;quot; declaring she will work hard in all sorts of ways this year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With everyone finished, they tidy up and Felicia eagerly anticipates the sukiyaki. Mitama laments that she, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno won&#039;t be able to submit theirs since it&#039;s not homework for them, calling it a waste. Yachiyo suggests displaying them at home for the New Year, and Tsuruno proposes putting up everyone&#039;s resolutions. When Yachiyo worries about the inconvenience for Madoka&#039;s group to retrieve them later, they assure her they plan to visit Kamihama again anyway. They hang all the calligraphy together, each resolution on display, and everyone wishes each other a good year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mel reads a classmate&#039;s fortune about love, but Yachiyo angrily reminds her that fortune telling is banned because Mel&#039;s magic shapes reality rather than predicting it. When Mel asks what love actually is, Yachiyo and Mifuyu struggle to answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami shops for ingredients with Kyoko&#039;s help, worried her Valentine&#039;s chocolate won&#039;t be special enough. Kaede hopes her gifts to Rena and Momoko will be the best they receive.

After talking with Kanagi and later her mother at the lake, Mel begins to understand that love means recognizing your greatest treasure. Kaede shops with Konomi, who gives her flowers and reassurance that handmade gifts carry genuine feelings. Emiri searches all day, falls asleep in the mountains, and wakes to find a truffle pointed out by a mysterious old man. Kyoko brings Sayaka and Homura to Sugar Plum, and Sumomo refuses Kyubey&#039;s contract after Kyoko shares her own tragic story. Riko investigates Mokeo with Tsukasa&#039;s help.

* One week before Valentine&#039;s Day, Manaka creates fourteen prototypes but feels burned out. After criticism from Ria and Mayu, she decides to make a chocolate ring that looks like real jewelry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Manaka completes the chocolate ring, but the student council member rejects it, explaining that candy can never be actual jewelry and that she chose chocolate because the truth is always by its side. Manaka collapses from exhaustion and wakes in the hospital with her spirit broken. Mayu suggests that the frame is just as important as the picture, inspiring Manaka to turn down the commission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Valentine&#039;s Day, Manaka helps the student council member make her own chocolate instead.

====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano====&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before a science event, a White Feather from the Wings of Magius informs Mitama Yakumo that a higher-up will be visiting and she should complete any necessary business when they arrive. Mitama says she will be prepared.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Hinano explains her mishap to her audience, and her assistant Emiri Kisaki steals the punchline by emphasizing the importance of perfect preparation. Afterward, Emiri learns Hinano was attempting to create a height-increasing drug—the same goal that led to a near-fatal accident five years ago and her contract with Kyubey. Emiri makes Hinano promise to stop dangerous experiments, but Hinano immediately breaks this promise and sneaks back to continue her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Emiri rushes an unconscious Hinano to Mitama&#039;s place. Hinano had drunk her experimental drug and collapsed from violent stomach pains. After purification, Hinano explains her dream: as a child, she admired a long-legged older girl who hosted science events, and she wanted to become that kind of dashing figure. Emiri reveals her own wish was a spur-of-the-moment desire to be the cutest little devil possible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano&#039;s unresolved feelings cause her Soul Gem to corrupt, and she is suddenly pulled into a barrier. A shadowy version of herself appears, claiming to be the pure crystallization of her aspirations. It transforms into her Doppel—a poison monster wearing an attractive lab coat with long legs. Hinano hears Emiri&#039;s telepathic voice shouting that she does not want to part with her, giving her strength. She realizes that while she failed to become a mature figure, her approachable appearance helped her meet Emiri and make friends. The shadow asks if she will give up her research, and Hinano declares she will continue with a completely safe version. The barrier vanishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Hinano and Emiri leave, Alina Gray appears and confirms she created the barrier to contain Hinano&#039;s Doppel and protect Mitama. Mitama offers adjustment as thanks, asking Alina to continue favoring her business.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!====&lt;br /&gt;
* As Yachiyo makes lunch, Felicia barges in with a flyer announcing that Mitama is trying her hand at professional photography and offering free photos for one day only. The others are surprised, having heard nothing about this, but they agree to go and take a team photo since they have nothing else planned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s makeshift studio, she admits they are her only customers and shows off a new camera she bought because the advertisement claimed it would make anyone a pro photographer. When she starts taking photos, however, every attempt fails spectacularly, producing bizarre images like Madoka with people jumping from a plane and Homura posing with a lion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Frustrated, Mitama declares she will quit being an adjuster to devote herself to photography, but the girls protest that everyone in Kamihama would be in trouble without her. They reassure her that they trust her, and Tsuruno adds that she would not have become the strongest without Mitama&#039;s help. Mitama relents and agrees to remain an adjuster, though she will continue practicing photography in her free time. Later, a successful group photo of both Iroha and Madoka&#039;s teams is shown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama====&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama Yakumo invites a surprising number of magical girls to her place for an event she calls the &amp;quot;Great Mitama Thanksgiving.&amp;quot; When she finally arrives, she reveals that the gathering is actually a quiz tournament about herself, with the winner receiving a free adjustment session and the title of &amp;quot;Mitama&#039;s Perfect Lover.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz begins with multiple choice questions, and wrong answers trigger a trap door beneath the contestant, though cushions soften the fall. The first question asks Mitama&#039;s actual age, and Tsuruno guesses incorrectly, landing her in the trap. The second question asks whether Mitama&#039;s cooking is delicious, and when Felicia and Manaka both guess wrong, Mitama confirms that the correct answer is that her food is indeed delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz continues through several rounds, eliminating more contestants along the way. When the ninth question asks about Mitama&#039;s favorite movie, Ria guesses incorrectly and is eliminated for insulting the film&#039;s actress. Sana is also eliminated when Mitama takes pity on her after she panics over Iroha&#039;s safety, and Mitama confirms that &amp;quot;Pacifistic Hayashi&amp;quot; was the correct answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama admits she has run out of questions but still has many competitors remaining, so she decides to draw lots to pick a winner instead. Momoko asks why Mitama held the event in the first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama remembers a time where she tried using her magic to defeat a familiar on her own, and that even if her services are no longer needed, she can still protect herself. She has obtained the magic to keep living that she never had before, and if she ever had to abandon her neutrality, she could use it to help someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Mitama explains that she held the event because something good happened to her. The other girls sense a Witch and leave to hunt it, and Mitama tells them to draw their lots later. Alone, she wonders who she should use her power on when she eventually decides to stop being neutral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

During the event, Asuka cheers for Ria like it is a sports event. Ria knows she means no harm but feels embarrassed, as if Asuka is ruining the event. She wakes up again. Another dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, just as she is about to go on stage, the power cuts out. Though it quickly returns, the audience&#039;s enthusiasm has diminished. Ria blames herself for being unable to overcome the outage. She wakes up, realizing she has been dreaming about the show every single night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual day of the show, Ria pinches her cheek to make sure it is real. She stumbles into a Witch barrier, and Kyoko appears just as in her dreams.

When she learns Asuka has practiced cheering, Ria explains that fashion shows have their own etiquette and promises to send her details later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just before Ria&#039;s turn on stage, the power cuts out for real. Ria decides to make it part of the show. She asks the audience to get out their penlights and turn them all on her when she gives the signal. Her improvisation is a complete success, though she wishes she could have shown her perfect walk. She thinks she is feeling the best feeling in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls are surprised to learn that Felicia scored fifty-two points on a test, and she asks for a reward. Yachiyo deems her request to go to MooMoo Park too expensive and instead promises a fancy dinner the next day, which satisfies Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha discovers that Tsuruno left her phone in the refrigerator and offers to return it while Yachiyo goes to a photo shoot. During breakfast, a commercial for MooMoo Park airs on television.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After breakfast, Felicia shows Sana the park commercial on her phone and admits she still wants to go, so she drags Sana along to catch animals at a riverbank. Meanwhile, Iroha returns Tsuruno&#039;s phone and helps out at her family&#039;s restaurant. At the riverbank, Felicia finds a small turtle, but Ayame Mikuri appears and accuses her of harassment. The two magical girls fight, and Felicia releases the turtle to protect it before running off, leaving Sana behind. Yachiyo finds Sana on her way home and learns what happened, then invites her to lunch. Felicia returns to the house, still angry at Ayame, and takes a nap after lunch. She dreams that the turtle thanks her and promises something at the riverbank, so she wakes and goes out to find it. She returns with a ticket for two to MooMoo Park. The others reveal that Iroha also received a ticket from Tsuruno&#039;s father, and Yachiyo got one at a meat store, so everyone can now go together. The girls happily resolve to visit the park and enjoy their dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of====&lt;br /&gt;
* An old lady asks Kanagi Izumi for a deli recommendation, and Kanagi suggests the potato soup and meat skewers, knowing the customer&#039;s daughter loves them. When the lady asks if this is truly Kanagi&#039;s last day, Kanagi confirms it and expresses regret at not seeing her again. At the end of her shift, Kanagi thanks her boss and coworkers, who are sad to see her go, but she needs higher pay to support her family and the grocery store cannot match her new job&#039;s wages.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives home later than usual due to a going-away party, and her father apologizes for not working enough to provide, though Kanagi is happy to help. He worries about her new job being radically different from her previous work, but Kanagi believes it is worth it since the pay means she can quit her second job and have more free time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi starts her new job at a maid café and impresses her coworker by already having a parfait ready. Despite learning the kitchen pace quickly, the hall is understaffed, and when the manager offers to help, Kanagi replies &amp;quot;Yes, sir!&amp;quot; only to be corrected that the manager prefers to be called &amp;quot;madam.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the rush, the head maid wishes for another maid, and the manager asks Kanagi to try working the floor for a raise. Kanagi&#039;s eyes widen at the salary and she accepts, receiving the maid nickname &amp;quot;Maid Nagitan.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid reviews basics with Kanagi, who feels confident due to her customer service background and sees this as a life-or-death matter to earn more for her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika Kumi, Reira Ibuki, and Mito Aino enter, and Kanagi greets them with a serious look and curt &amp;quot;welcome,&amp;quot; leaving them surprised by her cold, soldier-like demeanor. When Mito asks if she is really a maid, Kanagi introduces herself as Maid Nagitan and shakes Mito&#039;s hand firmly, causing Seika to freeze up. Later, when Reira asks if she will do &amp;quot;the thing&amp;quot; of adding love to the food, Kanagi misinterprets and says she cannot profess love to strangers, leaving the girls let down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At another table, a customer also wants &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; but Kanagi declines, saying she is no liar. The head maid intervenes and reminds Kanagi this is a maid café, explaining their job is creating a fun atmosphere. Kanagi returns to the trio&#039;s table and notices Seika staring, misinterpreting it as a staring contest. They stare at each other until Seika faints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid calls Kanagi completely hopeless and explains a maid&#039;s worth comes from tending to others, telling her to return to the kitchen if she cannot take the work seriously. The manager offers a one-week trial period: if Kanagi improves by week&#039;s end, she stays a maid. Kanagi vows to work with every fiber of her being.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Karin Misono finishes reading &amp;quot;Detective Maid Mei&amp;quot; and notices Kanagi slumped on a swing, muttering about what makes a good maid. Karin recognizes her as the boss of the East and, seeing an opportunity for her manga, asks Kanagi to tell her everything. Karin lends her the Detective Maid Mei manga for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Kanagi reads the manga and notes how the maid greets masters warmly, respects their decisions, and lets the master grow when needed. At the end, the maid strikes a pose. Kanagi meets Karin at the park to return the manga and heads to work with Karin tagging along for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the café, two boys enter and Kanagi greets them warmly as masters, surprising them with her &amp;quot;cool but kind&amp;quot; demeanor. The head maid smiles at her improvement. Kanagi serves Karin a Lovely Rice Omelet, and when Karin suggests she draw on it with ketchup, Kanagi tries to draw a kirin but it looks like a weird animal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Two more customers arrive, Aimi Eri and Natsuki Utsuho. Kanagi serves them and offers to draw on their omelets, writing Aimi&#039;s crush&#039;s name with hearts on her plate. As she leaves, Karin motions for her, and Kanagi does the manga pose, telling them to let her take care of any problems. At day&#039;s end, the head maid notes Kanagi&#039;s huge improvement but says it is too early to celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The final test begins, and the manager outlines that Kanagi must please the next returning customer, ensuring the master leaves with a smile. The door jingles as Konomi Haruna enters, distressed to find herself in a maid café. Kanagi greets her warmly and shows her to a seat despite the manager&#039;s concern.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi orders the Maid&#039;s Special Herbal Blend after Kanagi&#039;s recommendation, but when Kanagi offers to play a game then arm wrestle, Konomi panics, drinks quickly, pays, and leaves. The manager agrees that Kanagi should return to the kitchen as promised. Kanagi walks home alone, bothered by something beyond the wage cut.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi is back in the kitchen, and the kitchen staff is delighted. At day&#039;s end, the head maid tells her the staff appreciated her return, and Kanagi wonders why no one said they were glad when she worked as a maid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager notices her expression and encourages her to think until she is satisfied with the answer. Kanagi decides to find Konomi and ask what she lacked, recalling her school uniform.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi enters Konomi&#039;s flower shop, and Konomi is shocked. Kanagi asks what she lacked as a maid, but Konomi apologizes for assuming Kanagi was scary due to East-West history. She explains she entered by mistake, but Kanagi was considerate, made a helpful suggestion, and offered to ease her anxiety. It felt like Kanagi was doing it just for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi realizes that is what she was lacking: taking into account what the other person wants and responding to it. At the park, Kanagi reflects that customers come to enjoy the atmosphere and it is her job to consider whether it is worthwhile for them. She berates herself for making masters uncomfortable. Karin finds her and insists she should keep being a maid, offering to talk to the manager. Kanagi smiles and asks for a different favor instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi approaches the manager for a second chance, proposing she serve the same three customers who left when Seika fainted. The manager agrees to let her try. Karin finds Reira and Seika at a park and extends an invitation for them to return so Nagitan can make it up to them. Reira agrees, and Karin hands them invitations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio enters the café with Seika frozen, and Kanagi greets them warmly and shows them to their table. Kanagi serves their omelets, and when Mito asks if they were made with love, Kanagi admits she could not be dishonest but offers to draw with ketchup instead. She gives Mito the bottle to draw while Kanagi draws on Mito&#039;s plate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They play rock-paper-scissors, and Reira explains Seika is very shy and fainted because she had to make eye contact with someone new. Seika&#039;s class is doing a maid café for the school festival and she wanted to do her best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika admits she thought Kanagi was so confident she lost her own confidence. Kanagi points to the head maid as the ideal and explains she herself could never be like that, so she tries her best in her own way, encouraging Seika to find her own style. Seika smiles and asks for a picture. Kanagi agrees if her face is hidden, and before they leave, she does her signature pose and tells Seika to remember it when nervous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager calls Kanagi over and offers her the maid position, noting she learned something important. Kanagi says she wants to keep being a maid, not just for the paycheck, but to use what she learned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day at the café, Kanagi serves drinks and poses for pictures with a face mask, her fans cheering. Karin calls for her to do &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; and the café erupts yelling &amp;quot;Nagitan!&amp;quot; Karin and Kanagi walk home, and when Kanagi asks about her manga, Karin realizes she never drew it. Kanagi offers to help, but when Karin asks if she will do the pose, Kanagi reminds her she is off the clock. Karin looks down sadly as Kanagi returns to being serious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia====&lt;br /&gt;
* During the day, Felicia eats Tsuruno&#039;s ice candy without realizing it was hers because she cannot read kanji. Tsuruno reprimands Yachiyo when she learns Yachiyo knew and was preparing to buy a replacement. Yachiyo states it is impossible to guard the fridge constantly. Felicia, overwhelmed with guilt and anger that no one listens to her confession, loses control and flips the kitchen table before locking herself in her room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Felicia has a nightmare. She dreams her falling grades caused a huge argument between her parents, who blamed each other for neglecting her. Both ignore her confession and promise to try harder. Her mother storms back to the kitchen to cook. Felicia recalls that a Witch attacked immediately after, killing her parents, and she wakes up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She goes to the kitchen for water, but Iroha is there and points out she looks pale. Iroha tells her to rest and offers to bring water to her room. Felicia loses her temper and storms out of the house. Iroha wakes the others to find her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Felicia hears a voice claiming to be her. The voice pulls her into a barrier, where another Felicia lures her toward a locked box, revealing itself as her Doppel. Felicia nearly opens the box but remembers Yachiyo&#039;s words about some things being best left unknown. Her instincts tell her she is not ready.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She promises her Doppel she will return when she is stronger and hopes it can hold the truth for her. The Doppel accepts and returns to normal. Felicia wakes up at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo inform her they found her unconscious in the park. Felicia tells them about the encounter and her desire to become strong enough to fulfill her promise. Mitama offers a free power-up session to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha recalls they found Felicia releasing her Doppel in the park before losing consciousness. Yachiyo notes this has never happened before. She remembers that Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane once said Doppels are materialized emotions. Yachiyo concludes Felicia carries a heavy burden and tells Iroha to keep this secret until Felicia either realizes it herself or becomes strong enough to handle the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Monogatari Series Collab====&lt;br /&gt;
* During this time, a Witch causes several girls from another universe to be brought into this universe, turning them into special &#039;what if&#039; forms as Magical Girls, changing their memories as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc0&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shinobu Oshino, originally a legendary vampire in her world, she became the &amp;quot;Immortal Magical Girl&amp;quot; by wishing &amp;quot;I wish to die.&amp;quot; However, as a result, the prey she hunts become nourishment for her and her life span extends instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shinobubio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino#Game Info|Shinobu&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi Hachikuji became a &amp;quot;labyrinth Magical Girl&amp;quot; with the wish “I wish to return home”. With her excellent defense, she could cause the enemy’s attack to avoid her, as if it had lost its way, but for some reason, she could never reach my mother’s house.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayoibio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji#Game Info|Mayoi&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yotsugi Ononoki became a &amp;quot;doll Magical Girl,&amp;quot; with the belief her sole mission in life is to defeat Witches. She fought to protect the world and the people dear to her from ruin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yotsugibio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yotsugi Ononoki#Game Info|Yotsugi&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hitagi Senjougahara became a &amp;quot;gravitational Magical Girl,&amp;quot; who seized the weight of the object attacked by her hammer. The more she seized, the more massive her hammer grew, and was strengthened. Her wish was “Please give me memories.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hitagibio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hitagi Senjougahara#Game Info|Hitagi&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suruga Kanbaru became a &amp;quot;pioneer Magical Girl,&amp;quot; where she was fused with her motorbike after her transformation. Although she was the star who led Naoetsu High School&#039;s basketball club to the national tournament, she frequently made dangerous actions and comments. Her wish was &amp;quot;I want to be faster than anyone.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Surugabio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Suruga Kanbaru#Game Info|Suruga&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nadeko Sengoku became the &amp;quot;prostrating Magical Girl,&amp;quot; who fought with landmines while creeping because of her extremely timid personality, yet often carelessly stepped on them herself. Her wish was &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want anyone to see me.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nadekobio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nadeko Sengoku#Game Info|Nadeko&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsubasa Hanekawa became &amp;quot;the memorial Magical Girl,&amp;quot; who lost her memories when she burnt something with a flame bottle, but her top-notch brain in her grade would constantly store new memories. Her wish was &amp;quot;I want to forget everything,&amp;quot; and her attacks burn through her memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsubasabio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsubasa Hanekawa#Game Info|Tsubasa&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shinobu Oshino, Mayoi Hachikuji and Yotsugi Ononoki hunt a Witch together. Shinobu begins her dramatic introduction and finishing move, but Yotsugi defeats the Witch with a simple &amp;quot;Hyah&amp;quot; and Mayoi lands the final blow with &amp;quot;Yah.&amp;quot; Shinobu is annoyed at their failure to call out special moves. Shinobu argues that calling out attacks is the essence of being a Magical Girl, but Yotsugi dismisses this as an outdated trope. Shinobu retorts that refusing to act the part is dumb, and Yotsugi reluctantly agrees. Shinobu declares they need training to act more befitting of Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Shinobu&#039;s Heartphial Story: Shinobu Spells]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shinobu demonstrates by striking a pose and delivering her lines with perfect timing. When Yotsugi tries, her performance is terrible. Shinobu forces her to try again, and Yotsugi reluctantly says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; but finds it unpleasant and refuses to repeat it. Mayoi asks Shinobu to help her come up with lines. After a few stumbles, she declares, &amp;quot;I, Mayoi Hachikuji, hereby condemn those Witches who seek to ravage this earth!&amp;quot; Shinobu finds it charming, and Mayoi admits leaning into the Magical Girl thing is fun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They enter a real Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Mayoi messes up her line again but turns it into an improvised bit while evading attacks. Yotsugi delivers a longer speech and says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; landing the attack. Shinobu finishes the Witch with her full finishing move. After the battle, morning comes. Shinobu declares the training will continue, but Yotsugi walks away. Mayoi distracts Shinobu by suggesting breakfast, and Shinobu wants donuts. Yachiyo, out for an early walk, overhears them and decides she wants donuts too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa and helps Yachiyo prepare breakfast. Sana joins them, but when she goes to wake Felicia, she finds Felicia’s room empty and her shoes gone; Felicia’s phone is also out of service. Worried, Yachiyo calls Tsuruno for help, and the group splits up to search the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part I: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the search, Iroha’s Soul Gem reacts to a nearby Witch. Inside the labyrinth, they encounter two unfamiliar magical girls who are already fighting the Witch: Mayoi Hachikuji and Shinobu Oshino. After the Witch is defeated, introductions are exchanged. Mayoi and Shinobu explain they are traveling and looking for a lost friend named Yotsugi Ononoki, who has bluish‑green pigtails, a peculiar hat with eyes, and a frilly dress. The two groups exchange phone numbers to help each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Felicia has in fact met Yotsugi. Yotsugi buys her ice cream, and Felicia learns Yotsugi is also traveling. Felicia offers to show Yotsugi around town as thanks, taking her to the shopping street, a spot with cats, and a bench good for naps. Yotsugi finds everything unfamiliar and feels something is off, as if she has buttoned her shirt wrong. She shortens Felicia’s name to “Felly,” which makes Felicia happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha’s group eventually spots Felicia with Yotsugi. When Yachiyo hugs Felicia in relief, Felicia reacts as if she does not know any of them. She remembers Yachiyo only as a famous magical girl, but has no memory of living at Mikazuki Villa. The group realizes Felicia has lost her memories. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive and reunite with Yotsugi. Felicia refuses to go with Iroha’s group, accusing them of being kidnappers. Yotsugi offers a third option: Felicia can join their traveling team. Mayoi warns Felicia that if she chooses to leave with them, she will never return to the home that might be waiting for her. Felicia becomes confused and cries. Iroha proposes they all have dinner together at Mikazuki Villa first, so Felicia can calm down and decide later and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, Felicia asks Yotsugi what she likes to eat. Yotsugi admits a preference for expensive cup ice cream. Felicia awkwardly asks if Yotsugi&#039;s face is always stuck like that, and Yotsugi confirms it is. After arriving, Felicia eagerly tries to get Yotsugi to play video games, serves her extra portions of food, and challenges her to a pillow fight. Yotsugi excuses herself to take a bath, leaving Felicia disappointed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yotsugi Ononoki#Side Story|Yotsugi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Yotsugi Sister]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Felicia apologizes for being clingy, explaining that Yachiyo and the others pulled her aside to warn her. Felicia confesses she had been trying to make Yotsugi smile, assuming she had lost her parents like Felicia did. Yotsugi clarifies that her emotions simply do not show on her face, but she does feel them. She admits playing the game was fun and the food was not bad. Felicia is overjoyed and runs off to brag to everyone. Shinobu and Mayoi, who had been eavesdropping, tease Yotsugi for finding Felicia cute. Yotsugi concedes that Felicia is exhausting, but seeing her face light up from a drop of attention is not unpleasant. She gains newfound respect for all older sisters in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the villa, Shinobu requests doughnuts for dessert, and the group plays games. Yotsugi helps in the kitchen and notices the chicken meat has a nice springy firmness. During dinner, the group shares memories of how they met Felicia. Felicia still does not remember, but Shinobu points out the stories are too detailed to be lies. Tsuruno suddenly does not remember buying coasters, revealing she may also have amnesia. Yotsugi then shifts the discussion: she reminds Shinobu that she walked in sunlight all day without harm, which should be impossible because Shinobu is actually a vampire. Shinobu’s memories return, and she declares herself the iron‑blooded, hot‑blooded, cold‑blooded vampire king of oddities. Mayoi also gets a headache and remembers she is not human either, and instead she is a snail oddity, a ghost. Yotsugi explains that she has felt uneasy calling herself a magical girl; she suspects this world is not the one she came from, as everything feels slightly different, like two paintings of the same image in different styles. She believes Shinobu, Mayoi, and herself came from another world. They conclude that a Witch may be behind the memory loss and false memories, and decide to hunt Witches the next day. Everyone stays the night at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mayoi plays Old Maid with Tsuruno, Felicia, Yotsugi, and Shinobu. Mayoi wins, but Yotsugi and Shinobu notice she seemed absent-minded. Mayoi asks Yachiyo if she can help with dinner, admitting she always wished she could cook with her mom. Yachiyo agrees and Mayoi joins Iroha and Sana in making dumplings, proving to be a natural. Yotsugi and Shinobu try but fail miserably. Mayoi boasts and declares herself the rightful leader of the little girls, sparking a three-way argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Mayoi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Mayoi Home]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno suggests playing a game to decide the leader, and Felicia wants to join. Shinobu insists Iroha must also participate. They play a life simulation board game. Mayoi starts strong but ends up broke and stranded in the Amazon. Iroha wins, and Mayoi declares her the official leader of the little girls, much to Iroha&#039;s confusion. Mayoi feels this has been the most fun she has had in a while, yet she cannot shake an uneasy feeling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After everyone decides to stay over, Yachiyo announces bath time. Mayoi suddenly bolts out of the house, claiming she will take a walk. Iroha chases after her and finds her safe. Mayoi apologizes and explains that the family moment overwhelmed her heart, so she left to do something familiar to settle herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi revisits her wish: after her parents&#039; divorce, she wished to go home. Being at Mikazuki Villa makes her feel like her wish has finally come true, yet she senses it is not the home she truly wants to return to. She remembers she is a ghost and wonders where exactly it is she wants to go back to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After they lay out futons in the living room, Shinobu reveals she is actually over 500 years old, and Mayoi was in fifth grade when she died, now mentally 21. Yotsugi still does not remember what she is. Felicia cannot sleep and goes outside. She sees a Witch appear suddenly, feels her head go foggy, and collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha again helps with breakfast. She feels a strange déjà vu, as if the same conversation has happened before. Sana again reports Felicia is missing. The group searches the town and again encounters Mayoi and Shinobu fighting a Witch. The same exchanges occur, but Iroha’s déjà vu grows stronger.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When they finally find Felicia, she is with Yotsugi and is annoyed that they took so long to show up. Yotsugi addresses Iroha by name without being introduced. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive. Iroha blurts out that everything feels like it has happened before. Yotsugi then explains: this is the second time they have met like this. Everyone suddenly remembers the previous day’s events of the dinner, the revelations about vampires and ghosts, and the time reset. Yotsugi says she felt the air warp after falling asleep, and when she woke up, she was back where she had been before meeting Felicia. Felicia recalls that before the reset, she saw a Witch outside Mikazuki Villa that made her dizzy and erased her memories. The group deduces that Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they discuss how to fight the Witch, Felicia’s stomach growls. They decide to return to the villa for dinner again, saving the battle for the next day. On the way, they stop at a supermarket for a snack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While walking home, a Witch suddenly appears and pulls Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi into a labyrinth. Felicia recognizes it as the same Witch from the reset. The Witch ignores both Iroha and Felicia, focusing all its attacks on Yotsugi. It dodges Felicia’s hammer and lands a clean hit, cutting Yotsugi’s body into pieces. Iroha and Felicia are horrified. As the Witch prepares to strike again, Yotsugi’s voice tells them to keep pretending to be sad. She instructs them to retreat and gather the pieces of her body. They do so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside the labyrinth, Yotsugi puts herself back together as if nothing happened. She reveals that when she took the hit, she regained her true memories. Back at Mikazuki Villa, she explains to everyone: she is a hundred‑year‑old tsukumogami made from a human body, both a doll oddity and a corpse oddity. She has no heart and has always been dead. This is why the Witch’s power of suggestion, which works by influencing emotions, does not affect her as much. She also notes that the Witch let them escape because it was angry at Yotsugi for helping everyone remember the first loop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yotsugi attacks Shinobu. Shinobu blocks the strike. When asked why, Yotsugi coldly says, “Would you mind dying for me real quick?”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt; Yotsugi’s sudden attack on Shinobu was not betrayal but a calculated shock: she remembered that when the Witch cut her into pieces, the trauma restored her own original memories. She reasons that a sufficiently strong physical blow can break through the memory manipulation. Shinobu’s severed leg instantly regenerates as her vampiric powers return, proving the method works. Without warning, Yotsugi then punches Mayoi, knocking her unconscious. When Mayoi wakes, her memories also return, which is triggered by the keyword “lost.” Mayoi explains that their false magical girl powers and wishes were implanted by the Witch, and that they are not inhabitants of this world. She then proposes a new theory: the Kamihama girls did not lose their memories; rather, they come from different points in their own timeline and simply haven’t experienced the shared past yet. Felicia is devastated, fearing she will never have a family again, but Iroha and the others reassure her that in every timeline they will end up together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part II: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, after everyone has gone to sleep, Shinobu summons Yotsugi and Mayoi outside. She admits she does not fully trust Iroha’s group, as they could be the Witch’s minions or mere plot devices. She reveals there may be another way to return to their original world, but she does not elaborate immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group splits up to hunt the elusive Witch. They repeatedly enter labyrinths of other Witches, wasting time. Felicia grows increasingly frustrated, nearly charging into unrelated fights. Yachiyo observes that the Witch seems to want them to fight, so any peaceful, fun activity risks a reset, which is why the first reset happened after their happy dinner and games. She concludes that the Witch is like a director forcing them to act out a “magical girls fighting” plot. Iroha suggests they deliberately provoke the Witch by acting against that plot, hoping to lure it out. However, Yotsugi warns that straying too far might trigger another reset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo formally presents her three‑point theory: (1) The Witch did not pursue them when they fled, (2) it never removed their magical girl powers, and (3) the resets happen when they relax instead of fight. Everyone agrees the plan is to provoke the Witch into appearing. Shinobu then insists on going sightseeing the next day, arguing that one more reset will weaken the Witch’s power further. Despite concerns about resetting again, Tsuruno enthusiastically supports the idea, and the group reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group spends the morning and afternoon touring Kamihama: the radio tower, the school (which they sneak into), an arcade where Yotsugi plays rhythm games with a completely blank expression, and the shopping mall where Shinobu demands to find a donut shop. Tsuruno saves the family restaurant, Banbanzai, for last. As they approach, Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi sense the Witch charging straight at them. The familiar dizziness overcomes everyone, and the world resets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Several hours after the reset, Yotsugi again restores everyone’s memories, as her immunity to the Witch’s suggestion means she still remembers everything. The group notes that more people felt déjà vu this time, suggesting the Witch is weakening. That night, Shinobu privately tells Yotsugi and Mayoi her true alternative plan: she will kill the Kamihama magical girls and consume their power, believing that enough strength will allow her to tear open a gate back to their world. Yotsugi and Mayoi agree to help, though Mayoi is conflicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the town feels eerily deserted. The Witch’s labyrinth is sparse, with only familiars. Following Shinobu’s earlier secret instruction, the group begins shouting insults at the Witch to provoke it. Suddenly, Shinobu strikes Felicia from behind, seemingly killing her. Yachiyo and Tsuruno are horrified. Shinobu, Yotsugi, and Mayoi reveal their betrayal: they intend to slaughter everyone to gain power for a gate home. A brutal fight erupts. Mayoi uses her ability to redirect Yachiyo’s spear attack, causing it to hit Iroha and Sana, who also fall. Tsuruno is overwhelmed, and Yachiyo is mortally wounded. Shinobu stands alone, gloating, but then the “dead” girls suddenly rise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** It was all an act. The group had secretly planned this staged betrayal during the previous night, communicating via handwritten notes to avoid the Witch overhearing. Sana, who makes picture books, wrote the script. The plan had multiple layers: first, they deliberately triggered a second reset by going sightseeing to weaken the Witch; second, they staged a believable in‑fighting scenario to lure the Witch out, because if all the “actors” disappear, the Witch’s story cannot continue. The Witch falls for the trap and appears, enraged by the deception. A full‑scale battle begins. The group coordinates: Iroha and Sana herd familiars for Yotsugi’s “Unlimited Rulebook”; Yachiyo, Shinobu, and Iroha immobilize the Witch; Tsuruno guides Mayoi’s errant drill attack with her flames, piercing the Witch’s front camera. When that does not destroy the labyrinth, Yachiyo and Shinobu realize the front camera was a decoy: the true weak spot is the film at the back. Felicia, launched by Yotsugi like a bullet, smashes the drill deeper, and Yachiyo and Shinobu destroy the film. The labyrinth dissolves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the world fades to mist, Felicia breaks down crying. She does not want this world to end because at Mikazuki Villa she finally felt like she had a family again, and she fears returning to her own timeline where she will be alone. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Sana hug her, promising that no matter the world or timeline, they will surely live together again. Shinobu, Mayoi, and Yotsugi share an awkward, brief hug, concluding they are not the hugging type. Everyone exchanges farewells. Yotsugi tells Felicia, “I’m glad I met you, Felly.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa, yawning. Felicia teases her for sleeping late. Iroha recalls a long, strange dream, both fun and bittersweet, but the details fade upon waking. She only remembers that it was something really special. The day begins again, as if the adventure had never happened, except for the faint warmth left behind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede dreams of a garden where Momoko and Rena help her harvest fantastical vegetables. When she asks about the cream puff tree, Momoko shows her a basket full. The peace breaks when an apartment complex finishes construction behind them, destroying the garden. Kaede remembers this moment: her father announced a new building would block their sunlight, her mother worried they would lose their garden, and in despair, Kaede wished to stop the construction entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The dream shatters and a shadowy version of Kaede appears, accusing her of always running from difficulty. It reminds her she made her wish without considering the people who would have lived in that building, that she ran from Rena rather than face rejection, that she holds back in marathons and skips hard problems. The shadow urges her to keep running until she finds where she belongs and offers its hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kaede admits everything is true: she is weak and useless. But she insists she wants to stay with Momoko and Rena, the friends who matter to her. She asks her shadow to help her become better little by little. The shadow agrees, promising to watch from the garden of her heart. Kaede wakes at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains Kaede blacked out during a Witch battle. Kaede remembers hesitating to transform, a Familiar catching her off guard, and Rena crying out. When another Familiar attacked Rena, Kaede recalled a time Momoko was hurt because of her mistake. Believing herself useless, her Soul Gem turned pitch black. Now awake and purified, she chooses not to run. She asks to join Momoko and Rena, who went ahead to hunt the Witch. Mitama sends her off, confident she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holiday Nyaprise!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede asks Mikazuki Villa to watch a lost kitten while her family is away. After Felicia threatens to withhold bedtime hot cocoa, Yachiyo relents and Sana names the cat Gorojirou, or Sir Purrs-a-little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Holiday Nyaprise!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno visits daily to play, and when Gorojirou needs the restroom, Sana rushes it to the litter box just as Yachiyo calls them for lunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia chases the cat until Sana gives her a toy to lure it instead, and they eventually nap together on the couch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou has grown close to everyone, and Iroha tries taking its picture but accidentally films herself instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha shops, Sana watches the cat and Yachiyo admits she avoided getting attached because Gorojirou is temporary, but resolves to make its stay pleasant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou chews Felicia&#039;s favorite sticker, and though Felicia is angry, Sana reminds her the cat leaves tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede returns for Gorojirou, and everyone says a tearful goodbye. As they leave, the cat meows at Sana, who cries happily saying goodbye to her new best friend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Clash!====&lt;br /&gt;
* A Mirror copy of Shizuku opens a portal and steps through into a city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Magia Clash!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama organizes a magical girl team competition inside the Mirrors labyrinth. Kaede and Iroha greet Nanoha, hoping to talk with her, but Kaede is called away when her match begins. Iroha stays behind and watches with Nanoha instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanoha Takamachi#Side Story|Nanoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hayate, Nanoha, and Fate mistake a Mirror copy&#039;s portal for the warp gate to their tournament and are pulled through before Lindy can stop them. Mitama registers the confused but excited trio for the &amp;quot;First Ultimate Magical Girls Team Battle Mirrors Cup,&amp;quot; and they head to the Standby Zone after learning about the Mirror barrier. Meanwhile, Rena, Momoko, and Kaede struggle against unusually strong Familiars, and when Rena twists her ankle, the Nanoha trio steps in to save them. The groups introduce themselves, with the trio explaining they are from Uminary City while concealing their connection to the Administrative Bureau, and Rena warns them about dangerous Mirror copies that lurk deeper in the barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they observe Team Momoko&#039;s match, Nanoha comments on the fighting styles she sees and notes the variety of magic on display. She explains she was taught magic from an early age and is surprised to learn Iroha and the others gained their powers by making wishes to Kyubey. Iroha describes Kyubey as a white stuffed animal, which reminds Nanoha of her own first teacher, Yuuno. Nanoha shares that she discovered magic in third grade when she heard Yuuno calling for help, and since then she has honed her abilities alongside Fate and Hayate to protect others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks about Nanoha&#039;s device, Raising Heart, and how it can transform. Nanoha explains the device taught her magic step by step and once posed an important question to her: what is the most important thing in a fight? Iroha guesses it is the will to win, but before Nanoha can reveal the true answer, Fate and Hayate return from exploring. Fate requests a sparring match, and Iroha asks to watch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo joins Iroha to observe the fight between Nanoha and Fate. The two exchange blows at maximum speed, with Fate using close-range attacks while Nanoha fights from a distance. The match ends in a tie after a final, explosive clash. Before leaving for a break, Nanoha turns to Iroha and reveals the true answer to Raising Heart&#039;s question: wisdom and tactics. Iroha agrees, especially after witnessing their battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Natsuki is fretting over a lost wallet at the Promise Altar, and Ria offers to help her search since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway. Natsuki apologizes for the trouble, but Ria insists she doesn&#039;t mind and even offers to lend her money. Natsuki refuses the loan but admits she needs money for train fare home. She reluctantly agrees to borrow just enough for the trip and promises to pay Ria back later. Ria asks if Natsuki is sure she doesn&#039;t want to file a report, but Natsuki believes the wallet is simply lost rather than stolen and wants to keep searching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hayate Yagami#Side Story|Hayate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria suggests they retrace Natsuki&#039;s steps and asks where she&#039;s been. Natsuki lists the Promise Altar, the station, the shopping district, and an izakaya where she ate with friends. Ria questions why she went to an izakaya alone, and Natsuki clarifies she was with coworkers. Ria finds it odd that Natsuki was drinking with coworkers and then came to the shrine alone afterwards. Natsuki admits it&#039;s a long story involving a former coworker&#039;s engagement announcement that left her feeling restless. She came to the shrine to think but realized she didn&#039;t have enough money to get home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they search, they run into Masara and Kokoro. Masara bluntly tells Natsuki she probably won&#039;t find it and suggests getting a new student ID. Kokoro gently scolds her for being insensitive and offers to help search. Ria mentions they&#039;ve already looked around the shrine, so Kokoro suggests they expand the search area.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group heads to the shopping district, where they encounter Kanoko. She offers to help search as well, and they all continue looking together. Eventually, Ria asks Natsuki to retrace her exact steps from when she left the izakaya. Natsuki recalls walking to the station, realizing she didn&#039;t want to go home yet, and coming to the shrine. Ria points out that she would have needed her wallet to pay the izakaya bill, so she definitely had it after leaving. Natsuki confirms this and remembers using her train pass at the station before changing her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria concludes the wallet must be somewhere between the station turnstiles and the shrine, but they&#039;ve already searched that route thoroughly. Kanoko suggests Natsuki might have dropped it somewhere else without realizing, like when she pulled out her phone. Natsuki&#039;s eyes light up, and she admits she did take out her phone at the station to check something. She just can&#039;t remember what she did with her wallet after that. Ria proposes they split up to cover more ground, and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Natsuki returns home defeated and exhausted. Her father calls out to her, and when she enters the living room, she finds her wallet sitting on the table. Her mother found it in the shopping district and a kind stranger turned it in. Natsuki&#039;s relief quickly turns to panic when she remembers she borrowed money from Ria, and now she has no way to contact her. She considers calling Kokoro but realizes she doesn&#039;t have her number either. She decides to go back to the Promise Altar the next day to hopefully find Ria there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Natsuki returns to the Promise Altar and is relieved to spot Ria. She excitedly explains that her wallet was found and immediately tries to repay the loan. Ria accepts the money but notices Natsuki seems troubled about something else. Natsuki admits she&#039;s been thinking about her former coworker&#039;s engagement and how she handled the situation. Ria offers to listen if Natsuki wants to talk, but Natsuki says she&#039;d rather not burden her further. Ria insists it&#039;s no trouble since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki explains that her former coworker Yukari got engaged and announced it at a gathering. Natsuki congratulated her happily, but another coworker named Ootori made some passive-aggressive comments about how Yukari managed to find someone before her. Later, Ootori apologized to Natsuki for her behavior, but Natsuki feels she should have defended Yukari in the moment. She feels guilty for not speaking up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria asks why she feels responsible for defending Yukari. Natsuki admits it&#039;s because Yukari was always kind to her when she first started the job, and she feels she failed to repay that kindness. Ria points out that Natsuki did congratulate Yukari sincerely, and that was probably what mattered most to her in that moment. Natsuki realizes Ria is right and thanks her for the perspective.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just then, Kanagi arrives, and Ria prepares to leave. Before going, she offers Natsuki her contact information so she can reach out if she ever needs to talk again. Natsuki gratefully accepts, and the two part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During a break in the Mirrors tournament, Fate, Nanoha, and Hayate encounter a copy of Fate that proves too powerful for them to handle alone. Felicia, Kako, and Ayame appear to help, and together they defeat the copy. When Felicia asks what they&#039;re doing there, Fate admits they got lost. The Kamihama girls learn the trio is from out of town and younger than them, but they quickly become friends and head back to the standby zone together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Fate T. Harlaown#Side Story|Fate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group somehow gets roped into a dodgeball game, with teams forming spontaneously among the tournament participants. Fate proves to be exceptionally athletic, leading her team through multiple rounds against increasingly competitive opponents. After defeating Momoko&#039;s team, they face a martial arts team featuring Akira, Meiyui, and Asuka, which Fate also wins. Tsuruno, refusing to let age be a barrier, recruits Masara and Natsuki for a final match against Fate&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match comes down to a intense showdown between Fate and Tsuruno, both catching and returning each other&#039;s throws with increasing speed and power. Fate ultimately outmaneuvers Tsuruno by throwing to Nanoha and leaping into the air for the winning strike. Everyone celebrates the friendly tournament and the new friendships formed across different cities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the tournament progresses, Team Nanoha easily advances through early rounds with Fate&#039;s incredible speed, though Momoko notices Hayate and Nanoha have yet to reveal their full power. Elsewhere, Mitama learns that Momoko announced her team would break up if they lost not because Kaede is useless but to show their conviction, though both Kaede and Rena had doubts. The tournament continues until four teams remain, with Team Momoko advancing to the finals through clever strategy and Team Nanoha defeating Team Masara to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match begins with Fate and Rena clashing in a battle of speed that seemingly knocks both out, leaving Nanoha and Hayate to face Momoko and Kaede. Hayate fuses with Reinforce Zwei and unleashes Ragnarok to take out Kaede, then joins Nanoha against Momoko, who withstands Nanoha&#039;s Starlight Breaker as both girls stand exhausted. Before a winner can be decided, Lindy contacts Nanoha with an emergency: a fugitive illegally opened a rift between worlds, and the Mirror copy of Shizuku appears nearby, having used her powers to connect the Mirror labyrinth to Uminary City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The copy stole the tournament&#039;s grand prize, a special orb that exponentially increases magical power, and the girls call off the match to track her down. Team Nanoha and Team Momoko catch the copy, but after they defeat her, copies of Hayate, Fate, and Nanoha appear and swallow the broken orb pieces, gaining immense power. All the Magical Girls unite to take down the powered-up copies, and through combined efforts they finally delete the magical signatures. With the tunnel between worlds about to collapse, Mitama declares both teams winners, and the girls exchange heartfelt goodbyes before the Nanoha trio returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day in Kamihama, Kaede realizes her texts to Hayate no longer go through, Momoko cannot reach Nanoha or Fate, and Rena cannot find Uminary City on any map. Mitama and Shizuku conclude the girls must have come from a different world entirely, since they needed a space tunnel to travel rather than a simple train ride. Though Kaede is sad they may never meet again, Rena is grateful for the friendship they formed, and the three resolve to work hard for a future rematch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Asuka finds herself in a cloud-filled void facing a shadowy version of herself who claims to be the hidden part of Asuka&#039;s heart. The shadow declares Asuka is no longer fit to practice Ryushin-ryu because her blade has been sullied by contracting as a Magical Girl. When Asuka protests, the shadow recounts how Asuka wished for her cousin to become a police officer after his dreams were jeopardized by their uncle&#039;s arrest, arguing that twisting fate with magic was selfish and wrong. The shadow insists that with her heart no longer true, Asuka walks a false path and should abandon her school, urging her to die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her despair, Asuka remembers her father&#039;s words about asking her own heart what is right, like water filling a square bowl. She tells the shadow that perceptions of right and wrong can change with the situation, and though she cannot refute the shadow&#039;s claims, she knows her heart believed her actions were just. Believing words alone cannot reach the shadow, Asuka challenges her to a fight to prove her blade&#039;s strength reflects her sincere heart. The shadow warns that slaying her means slaying herself, but Asuka declares she fears being untrue to herself more than death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their swords clash, and after a long battle, the shadow succumbs to Asuka&#039;s attack and acknowledges her blade was as pure as her heart. The shadow warns she may return in a different form if Asuka&#039;s heart becomes stained again, then vanishes. Asuka awakens near a pond deep in the forest, where she had gone to meditate as part of her training. She remembers the shadow&#039;s promise and considers asking Mitama what it all meant, but feels her father&#039;s words have been engraved in her more deeply now. With her resolve unwavering, she runs back to the dojo, taking a straight path out of the woods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka awakens to find herself in a strange, cloud-filled void. A shadowy copy of herself appears, introducing itself as the part of her she has suppressed deep within her heart. The shadow urges Nanaka to end her pursuit of vengeance, calling it a fruitless endeavor that changes nothing. Nanaka refuses, explaining that the act of revenge itself holds meaning for her, not the result. The shadow questions where vengeance has led her: a life of constant danger in an endless struggle against Witches. Nanaka admits there is nothing to gain from her actions, but her conviction remains unshakable. The shadow then accuses Nanaka of dragging Akira, Kako, and Meiyui into her vengeance, using them to fulfill her goals. Nanaka acknowledges this truth but insists she would never throw their lives away. She believes fate brought them together to fight a common enemy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka recalls the moments before she lost consciousness. Her team had cornered a Witch, but it disappeared and reappeared near a weakened Kako. Nanaka leaped in to shield her, and Akira and Meiyui joined the fight. The shadow suggests Nanaka protected Kako to redeem herself, but Nanaka denies this. The shadow warns it will continue watching from the depths of her heart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka awakens to find her teammates standing over her, relieved she is alive. The Witch is defeated. Nanaka tells Kako not to worry about anything, as they are teammates. Meiyui finds her choice of words unusual, but Akira insists Nanaka see Mitama for a checkup. Kako thanks Nanaka for protecting her. Nanaka smiles, thinking to herself that each of them is their own flower, supporting one another through their shared fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis====&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha announces that a cafe Yachiyo frequents has opened a new location near Mikazuki Villa, and the group decides to visit on opening day. They arrive to find it is actually a Curry House CoCo Ichibanya, and Yachiyo passionately explains the menu options as they wait for the store to open.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the store opens early, the employee announces they cannot open today due to a missing delivery truck carrying ingredients. The employee breaks down in tears, explaining her family came to see her first store opening. The group notices magical energy emanating from the store and decides to help find the truck, promising to return for curry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They investigate at the last store the truck visited. The employee there confirms the truck is missing but provides spare ingredients and explains that stores support each other in times of trouble. The group splits into two teams: one to gather ingredients from other stores, and one to trace the truck&#039;s route. During coordination, they learn a second CoCoIchi truck has also gone missing on the same road.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While gathering ingredients, Tsuruno&#039;s group encounters a lost, hungry girl who flees upon hearing CoCoIchi and nearly crashes into Sana. Afterward, Sana realizes the employee at the new store could see her despite her invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s group follows the road where both trucks disappeared and finds a Witch&#039;s barrier. Inside, they find both trucks and their drivers. Iroha and Ui engage the Witch&#039;s familiars while Yachiyo secures the drivers. Iroha realizes the Witch is targeting the cargo, so she throws curry ingredients at it, causing the Witch to abandon the fight and allowing them to defeat it easily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno calls with urgent news that the store employee is a Magical Girl, her missing little sister is also a Magical Girl, and she has not been able to contact her since yesterday. The group fears the curry-loving Witch they just defeated was the sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the new store, where the employee is preparing their reward curry. Before Iroha can confess, a girl rushes in calling for her sister. It is the employee&#039;s little sister, alive and well. The group realizes the Witch was simply a curry-loving Witch unrelated to the sister. They finally sit down to enjoy the promised curry together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui====&lt;br /&gt;
* Meiyui&#039;s family is helping organize a local event when a stranger stabs one of their members and flees, dropping a badge. Meiyui chooses to tend to the victim rather than give chase, despite his protests that she is being too soft.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many in the organization want revenge, but Meiyui refuses, not wanting to return to their old ways as an evil organization. The members are reluctant to involve the police due to being falsely accused of murder three years prior. Meiyui had contracted with Kyubey back then to expose the truth with her wish, but lingering distrust remains.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui goes alone to track the culprit. The dropped badge leads her to an abandoned company tied to illegal labor her family had helped shut down. After defeating a stray Witch, she is ambushed and kidnapped by a man with a taser.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She wakes handcuffed alongside about ten others. The kidnappers reveal the badge was a trap to lure her. They include a former police officer who had fabricated evidence against her family and associates of the real murderer from that case, all blaming the Blue Seas for ruining their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her Soul Gem is heavily tainted from the Witch fight, and she begins hearing her Doppel&#039;s voice. In a cloudy void, her shadow self insists she should have killed these enemies when she had the chance, arguing her organization cannot survive without dirtying their hands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Meiyui struggles to stay conscious, she uses her last energy to beg the culprits to leave her family alone, insisting they are not a bad group. The stabber dismisses her pleas and suggests killing her as a warning instead. Her Doppel mocks her, saying evil people will always exist no matter how sincerely she tries to live righteously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, her organization members arrive to rescue her. The stabbed victim is among them, now grateful Meiyui had stayed to help him instead of chasing revenge. He admits he used to believe abandoning burdens was the way of the world, but facing death alone showed him he was wrong. He is alive because of Meiyui&#039;s strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hearing this, Meiyui&#039;s mind clears. In the void, her Doppel asks if she is ready to kill them, but Meiyui rejects violence entirely. The Doppel submits, allowing her to put everyone in the area to sleep without bloodshed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The police soon arrive after the kidnapper, persuaded by Meiyui, confesses over the phone. They find several family members asleep everywhere and note a look of complete relief on Meiyui&#039;s sleeping face.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Little Bird&#039;s Star====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe and other Black Feathers are in Fendt Hope, commiserating about their weakness. A White Feather had to bail them out after they were followed by a Witch while delivering a parcel from Mitama&#039;s shop. They discuss Yachiyo Nanami, a veteran Magical Girl who destroys Uwasas.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu and Nemu emerge from a room arguing. Nemu dismisses Mifuyu and approaches the Black Feathers with a request. She asks them to investigate the &amp;quot;Uwasa of the Jealous Coward,&amp;quot; also called the &amp;quot;Green-Eyed Coward.&amp;quot; Kuroe hesitates but agrees when Nemu insists she has the aptitude.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group investigates an area with many students but cannot find the Uwasa. The other Black Feathers leave for personal commitments. Kuroe stays, feeling she has nothing to return to. The Uwasa manifests when Kuroe expresses envy toward the other girls&#039; normal lives. Two Black Feathers are knocked unconscious. Nemu is satisfied with the results and tasks Kuroe with investigating more Uwasas starting tomorrow. Kuroe protests but Nemu leaves before she can refuse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1744.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1743.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The Amane twins, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo, meet Kuroe at Fendt Hope and they begin investigating Uwasas in Sakae Ward but find nothing. They move to Hokuyo Ward. Kuroe notices a missing cat poster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They sense Yachiyo&#039;s group nearby and flee. Yachiyo and Iroha corner Kuroe. The twins escape. Yachiyo interrogates Kuroe. An Uwasa resembling Kuroe appears and attacks, then disappears. Yachiyo accuses Kuroe of controlling it. Kuroe insists she had no knowledge of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo decides to take Kuroe camping to monitor her. At the campground, the Amane twins briefly contact Kuroe and say they will consult Nemu, so Kuroe resolves to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe helps Iroha gather firewood. Iroha is scared by a caterpillar and Kuroe removes it. Kuroe introduces herself by name. She helps the group set up their tent and prepare lunch, using skills learned from Wings of Magius training. She reminds herself not to get drawn into their warm atmosphere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mentions a waterfall power spot. Kuroe offers to get water. Iroha accompanies her. They get lost. A woman helps Kuroe find the waterfall and gives her an empty bottle. The woman explains the place is her personal power spot for resetting her mind. Kuroe wishes she had strength to face the future. The Uwasa appears and attacks the woman. Iroha arrives and finds the woman unconscious. Kuroe begs Iroha for help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe carries the unconscious woman back to the campsite. The Amane twins inform her that Nemu says she is possessed by the Uwasa and should stay with Yachiyo&#039;s group. Yachiyo warns that if more casualties occur, she will destroy the Uwasa. Iroha suggests keeping Kuroe for observation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group participates in a stamp rally and Iroha and Kuroe pair up. They discover they are both from Takarazaki. Iroha explains she moved to Kamihama to find her missing sister. Suddenly, a Witch appears and Kuroe and Iroha fight it together. Kuroe acts as a decoy while Iroha defeats the Witch. Kuroe feels inadequate compared to Iroha&#039;s courage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe asks for time alone and she reflects on her fears and envy. The Uwasa appears again, resembling Kuroe. The group fights it and Iroha urges Kuroe to destroy the Uwasa. Kuroe admits she is afraid she cannot be herself, so she and Iroha destroy the Uwasa together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amane twins inform Kuroe they must report the Uwasa&#039;s destruction, yet Kuroe does not regret it. Iroha asks to talk with Kuroe and Yachiyo offers them tea. Kuroe admits she feels safe with the Wings of Magius because they represent hope for her. Iroha accepts this and Kuroe tells Iroha she wants to be like her someday. They part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe finds the missing cat and returns it to its owner, who is overjoyed. Kuroe realizes she saved someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe reports to Nemu and Mifuyu. Nemu reveals the Uwasa summons itself based on dissatisfaction and envy. Nemu admits she expected Yachiyo&#039;s group to handle an accident with the Uwasa. However, Nemu is satisfied that she now has more research on fusing Uwasa with Magical Girls, however Mifuyu warns Nemu not to experiment on the Feathers. Kuroe realizes that even the Magius are imperfect and she reflects on her long day. She resolves to do her best, one step at a time, and hopes to see Iroha again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 7th==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia and Sana decide to buy matching coasters as a gift for Yachiyo, to show their appreciation, and after some searching, they find a suitable set.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: Memories That Reveal the Truth]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 8th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the plan to present the gift is interrupted when Mifuyu Azusa arrives at the villa before Yachiyo returns home. The girls&#039; plan was for Iroha to wait inside while the others came from outside to surprise Yachiyo. Mifuyu prepares tea and reveals one of the two mugs on the top shelf, which Yachiyo forbade Iroha from using, belongs to her. Mifuyu invites Iroha to a lecture hosted by the Wings of the Magius to explain their goal of &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls. The lecture is scheduled for two days later at the Memory Museum and Iroha agrees to investigate the Rumor about the museum first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo returns home and is visibly distressed to find Mifuyu there. Mifuyu leaves, asking Iroha to inform the others about the lecture. Before finally leaving, Mifuyu returns to speak to Yachiyo privately. She references a &amp;quot;promise&amp;quot; they made a year ago, and accuses Yachiyo of returning to her old ways. Yachiyo insists her relationship with Iroha and the others is &amp;quot;just cooperating.&amp;quot; Yachiyo retreats to her room without receiving the coasters. That night, Yachiyo reflects on her past, resolving to return to the person she once was.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 9th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the lecture, Iroha is unable to give Yachiyo the coasters due to Yachiyo&#039;s low spirits. Iroha discusses her plan to attend the Wings of the Magius lecture with Madoka Kaname via text. Iroha then attempts to investigate the Rumor of the Memory Museum. Yachiyo claims no knowledge of it and leaves for school. Iroha and Momoko ask Mitama, who refuses to share information to maintain her neutrality. After the visit, Mitama has a separate conversation with Momoko about Momoko&#039;s own secret, advising her to tell her friends the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede and Rena help Iroha by summoning the creature that recites the Rumor of the Memory Museum, which allows people to view researched memories. Tsuruno&#039;s father provides the location of the similar-sounding &amp;quot;Kamihama Memorial Museum.&amp;quot; That evening, Yachiyo refuses to join the investigation, reiterating that her relationship with the others is strictly professional, which saddens Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Saturday, the 10th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the lecture, Yachiyo again refuses to go to the museum and Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana go to the Kamihama Memorial Museum without her. There, they are greeted by Touka Satomi, who reveals herself as one of the three Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently at Mikazuki, Yachiyo, haunted by memories of past friends, decides she must investigate the Memory Museum herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Touka throne 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka Satomi gives them a lecture titled &amp;quot;The Truth Behind Magical Girls.&amp;quot; She presents three key items through illustrative stories:&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 1: Soul Gems. A story reveals that a Soul Gem is a Magical Girl&#039;s actual soul. Using magic consumes this life force, and if the gem shatters, the Magical Girl dies. Touka uses an analogy of an internal vs. external battery to explain Soul Gems and Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 2: Witches. A second story demonstrates that when a Magical Girl&#039;s Soul Gem becomes fully corrupted, she transforms into a Witch. This revelation traumatizes Felicia, who realizes the Witches she has been killing were once Magical Girls and that she herself is destined to become one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 3: Doppels. A third story explains that in Kamihama City, a fully corrupted Soul Gem can manifest a &amp;quot;Doppel&amp;quot; instead of a Witch. The Wings of the Magius present this as the key to &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls from their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* To prove their claims, Touka and Mifuyu Azusa activate the Memory Museum&#039;s Rumor. Mifuyu presents a book containing her own memories, inviting the group to witness the truth of the lecture firsthand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo arrives at the museum and confronts Touka. She is shown into the memory dimension where Iroha and the others are and Mifuyu activates the Rumor, forcing the group to relive her memories. The memories depict Yachiyo&#039;s former team, Mikazuki Villa:&lt;br /&gt;
** The first memory shows Kanae Yukino sacrificing herself to reveal a Witch&#039;s weakness. Her uninjured body is found next to her shattered Soul Gem, proving the Soul Gem is the Magical Girl&#039;s life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second memory shows Mel Anna using too much magic to protect Yachiyo. With no Grief Seed to purify her fully corrupted Soul Gem, Mel transforms into a Witch before the team&#039;s eyes, confirming Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The third memory shows Mifuyu&#039;s despair six months after Mel&#039;s death, causing her Soul Gem to corrupt fully. Instead of becoming a Witch, she manifests a Doppel. Touka then appears and recruits her into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno is consumed by guilt over Mel&#039;s death, believing her absence that day was the cause. Felicia is horrified, realizing the Witches she killed were Magical Girls and Sana is terrified but feels powerless to change the system. Touka and Mifuyu use this emotional vulnerability to press their recruitment offers to each girl, promising a world where these tragedies are impossible and even suggesting Sana could be freed from her wish of invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo reject the offer to join and Yachiyo compares the Magius&#039; methods to Kyubey&#039;s, accusing them of exploiting weaknesses. Yachiyo then announces she is disbanding their team, which Iroha protests, but Yachiyo insists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka reveals that Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana have been brainwashed and now serve the Wings of the Magius. Alina Gray arrives and traps Iroha and Yachiyo within her Labyrinth and leaves them to face a Witch. As they fight the Witch, Yachiyo reiterates her decision to disband the team and work alone. She reveals her wish was &amp;quot;I want to survive,&amp;quot; and explains that she interprets this as a curse: the power to survive by sacrificing her teammates, based on the last words of her former comrades, Kanae and Mel, who both died while she lived. Yachiyo believes that to protect Iroha, she must sever their partnership.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha rejects Yachiyo&#039;s conclusion. She declares she will defeat the Uwasa alone to prove Yachiyo&#039;s &amp;quot;curse&amp;quot; is not real and that she can protect Yachiyo. Iroha states she is angry that Yachiyo made this decision for everyone and vows to rescue their brainwashed friends. She defeats the Witch and rejects Yachiyo&#039;s belief in a cursed wish and declares herself the new leader to nullify its perceived effect. Yachiyo relents and agrees to work with Iroha to save their friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the same time, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, having detected Mami&#039;s magic while investigating Kamihama, investigate the closed Kamihama Recording Museum. They are attacked by the Wings of the Magius. While Madoka and Homura hold them off, Sayaka proceeds and witnesses Mami, transformed into &amp;quot;Holy Mami,&amp;quot; attacking Iroha and Yachiyo. It is here that Sayaka learns the horrific truth that Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: A Stand-Off With Fate]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, now a brainwashed member of the Wings of the Magius, confronts them. As Iroha and Yachiyo are too injured to fight, Sayaka Miki arrives and intervenes. Sayaka uses a bomb from Homura to create a diversion, allowing the three to escape.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After their escape, Sayaka gives Iroha a Grief Seed. Iroha explains the truth about Witches and the Wings of the Magius to Sayaka, who is horrified. Sayaka leaves to process this information and Iroha and Yachiyo walk home in silence to reflect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After fleeing the museum, Sayaka reunites with Madoka and Homura, defeats their pursuers in a distraught state, and explains what happened to Mami to them, as well as the truth about becoming Witches.The group returns to Mitakihara in silence but Madoka resolves to find a way to avoid their fate and to save Mami. Sayaka agrees to fight back as well and later decides to meet with Kyoko Sakura.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, at Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo reaffirm their commitment to save their friends and Momoko arrives, having told the secret of Magical Girls to Rena and Kaede. Yachiyo also apologizes for her actions and explains her fears about her wish. Momoko forgives her and reaffirms their friendship. Iroha then receives a text from Madoka, who promises to come to Kamihama to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Sayaka meets Kyoko and reveals the truth about Witches. Kyoko deduces this is what the Wings of the Magius meant by &amp;quot;saving&amp;quot; Magical Girls. Kyoko declares she will find a way to avoid becoming a Witch and confront the Wings of the Magius alone, rejecting Sayaka&#039;s offer of help. Despite Sayaka&#039;s protests, Kyoko leaves to operate solo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Likely during this time, Yachiyo pulls out a box containing what her former friends Kanae Yukino and Mel Anna left behind. She has never opened it since filling it and spends the entire day staring at it, unable to lift the lid. When Iroha arrives and asks about it, Yachiyo explains and admits she is trying to work through her feelings. Iroha offers to help, but Yachiyo deflects, reminding her they were supposed to visit Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls visit Mitama Yakumo and present Grief Seeds as payment for adjustment. Mitama is surprised by the offering and promises to do her best, but she expresses concern about Yachiyo&#039;s emotional state. She suggests Yachiyo clear up her issues with the box before moving forward and offers to adjust both girls at once as a special exception.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Mitama works on her, Yachiyo finds herself in a gray room confronted by a shadowy doppelganger. The shadow accuses her of being afraid of the future and clinging to the past. When Yachiyo refuses to give in to despair, the shadow transforms into her doppel, but she stands firm, accepting her fear while choosing to move forward. Iroha appears beside her, and together they bid farewell to visions of Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo awakens and realizes Mitama adjusted them together intentionally, trusting Iroha could help her if needed. She thanks Mitama for looking out for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at her house, Yachiyo finally opens the box with Iroha beside her. Inside, Kanae left a book of lyrics about becoming a circle with others, and Mel left fortune telling impressions predicting a future where many magical girls would gather in Kamihama. Yachiyo cries as she reads their words. Iroha suggests they head toward that gentle future together. Yachiyo agrees but says first they need to get back their own three points: Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha resolves to find her lost friends and mentally tells Ui to wait a bit longer. Iroha and Yachiyo finish cleaning their house. Iroha resolves to give the coasters she and the others bought for Yachiyo when everyone is reunited. Iroha says she sent a message to Madoka in Mitakihara City, but hasn&#039;t gotten a response.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 7: Awakening to Paradise]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Immediately after Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana are taken, Mifuyu reports to Touka and Alina that the brainwashing on the three is holding, so Touka selects Tsuruno for a mission, which Alina states will involve &amp;quot;mass murder.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in her room, Iroha thinks back to when she celebrated Christmas with her friends, but resolves to keep going with her mission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sunday, the 11th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo investigate the Kamihama Rumor Files at Mikazuki Villa. Iroha recognizes some of the Rumors. They meet with Momoko, who mentions Tsuruno&#039;s perfect school attendance record is now broken and that a new amusement park is also opening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo visit Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant and her father reveals Tsuruno and Felicia visited once. Tsuruno told him she found a place where she feels safe and would not return and he notes her expression was blank, similar to how she looked a year ago after Mel&#039;s death. Afterwards, a White Feather ambushes Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will be used for a mission like Tsuruno, and the two fight off the attacker.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Monday, the 12th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo devise a plan to destroy Rumors across Kamihama to lure out the Wings of the Magius and locate their base. They share this plan with Momoko, who offers to help by getting Grief Seeds for them while they hunt. Momoko then goes to check on Kaede, who is hiding in her room. She hugs Kaede and tells her she and Rena will always be there to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo systematically hunt Rumors like the &amp;quot;Historical Battle Marker,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Castle Town Illusion,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Headless Biker Gang,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Puzzle Tiles Lock,&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;Fashion Monster.&amp;quot; They also interrogate captured Feathers, but none reveal information about Tsuruno, Felicia, or Sana&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Momoko investigates a rapidly spreading rumor about a new amusement park. She notes it originated in the east and spread west through Sakae, Mizuna, and Shinsei Wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha and Yachiyo analyze the Kamihama Rumor Files, marking all known Rumor locations on a map. They identify a pattern: Rumors cluster more densely in Shinsei Ward, with a notable concentration around Satomi Medical Center, the hospital where Ui was supposedly treated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They travel to the hospital area and are ambushed by Feathers. Felicia and Sana, who had broken free of the brainwashing, arrive and help fight off the attackers. The four Magical Girls reunite and Felicia and Sana reveal they pretended to be brainwashed to gather information. Momoko confirms the amusement park rumor spread from east to west and will open at dawn in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Sana explain to Yachiyo and Iroha that Mifuyu used her illusion magic to break their brainwashing. Mifuyu revealed the Magius are protecting and strengthening Witches for their liberation plan and are planning to use the brainwashed Magical Girls to cross a dangerous line. Mifuyu attempted to free Tsuruno but failed, as Tsuruno&#039;s reason for being brainwashed was different. Mifuyu then helped Felicia and Sana escape but chose to remain behind, stating they would be enemies next time they meet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko arrives and shares her investigation into a new Rumor about an amusement park opening at dawn in two days. She confirms it spread from the east, and the group overlays the Rumor locations on a map and identifies a pattern suggesting a source or &amp;quot;eye of the storm&amp;quot; in the eastern wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kanagi screenshot.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo decides to contact Kanagi Izumi, the powerful Magical Girl who controls the eastern Daito and Kosho Wards and is a former rival of hers. Kanagi agrees to an alliance, and during their call, Tsukasa of the Wings of the Magius arrives at Kanagi&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tuesday, the 13th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The morning, Felicia and Sana try to accompany Iroha and Yachiyo but are told to rest due to their collapse the previous night. Iroha and Yachiyo leave them behind. Meanwhile in Kosho Ward, Iroha, Yachiyo, Momoko, and Kanagi meet and Kanagi agrees to ally with them against the Wings of the Magius. They combine their Rumor data on a map, which reveals a circular pattern with a vacant center in Kosho Ward and Kanagi identifies the old railway yard as the likely location of the Wings&#039; base.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After learning the truth about Witches, Madoka questions Kyubey about a way to avoid becoming a Witch. Kyubey states he knows of no method and reveals he cannot enter Kamihama City himself. He proposes an alliance to investigate the Wings of the Magius but Madoka refuses to promise cooperation. She resolves to return to Kamihama with her friends, but then a Witch from Kamihama appears in Mitakihara.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 7: Eve of the Awakening]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura defeat the Kamihama Witch. They share Grief Seeds and note the alarming appearance of foreign Witches in their city. The trio resolves to go to Kamihama the next day to find answers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Around this time, Kyoko successfully infiltrates the Wings of the Magius. She is assigned to a team tasked with dealing with a group that erases Rumors, which she suspects is Iroha&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s group travels to the railway yard but finds it empty. They are ambushed by Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who summon Witches and during the battle, Kanagi uses her unique power to read Iroha&#039;s true intentions and confirms her sincerity. Kanagi then joins the fight and helps defeat the Amane sisters and their Black Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi uses her power on the defeated Amane sisters to read their minds and she learns that Tsuruno is still completely brainwashed and has become part of an Uwasa to protect it. She also learns Tsuruno&#039;s location is at the Ferris Wheel Field in Daito Ward and the group prepares to move out immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Sana and Felicia wait anxiously and Yachiyo calls them with an update.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Rena visits Kaede at her house, and after an argument involving slapping and pinching, Kaede reconciles with Rena and agrees to return to school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team arrives in Daito Ward, where Yachiyo and Iroha plan to enter the &amp;quot;amusement park&amp;quot; Rumor to save Tsuruno, while Felicia, Sana, Momoko, and Kanagi hold off the Wings of the Magius. The group locates the Rumor&#039;s entrance and Kanagi and Momoko stay behind to fight the Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo proceed and confront Alina, Touka, and Mifuyu, where Alina declares her intent to erase them. During the battle, Mifuyu secretly tells Yachiyo that destroying the main Uwasa will kill Tsuruno, and that they must instead tear the Uwasa from her by connecting with her heart. Mifuyu also reveals Tsuruno is in a Ferris wheel car.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101705 uwasatsuruno.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo enter the Rumor, &amp;quot;Chelation Land,&amp;quot; which induces a hazy, thoughtless state. They find Tsuruno, who has fully merged with the Uwasa and acts as the park&#039;s host. Tsuruno tries to force them to relax and stay, serving them hotpot in mugs reminiscent of Mikazuki Villa, but they refuse and attempt to reason with Tsuruno, and she attacks them. Following Mifuyu&#039;s advice, they combine their magic to tear the Uwasa from Tsuruno in one powerful strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nemu02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After Tsuruno is freed from the Uwasa, Yachiyo realizes that Tsuruno&#039;s cheerful demeanor was a facade to hide her pain and guilt over past events, including the death of Mel. The team defeats the main Uwasa of Chelation Land and the Magius, Touka, Nemu Hiiragi, and Alina, confront the group. Nemu reveals she is the &amp;quot;Creator&amp;quot; of all the Rumors in Kamihama and the Magius explain their goal: to use the energy generated by Rumors and Witches to hatch &amp;quot;Embryo Eve,&amp;quot; a being that will liberate all Magical Girls worldwide from the fate of becoming Witches. They state the phenomenon requires the presence of all three Magius and a massive energy source, for which they have used the people of Kamihama and the teams part ways in opposition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 14th==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101701 coaster02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, at Mikazuki Villa, the team summarizes the Magius&#039; plan and that Kamihama is an incubator for Embryo Eve. They resolve to stop the Magius due to the plan&#039;s high human cost and the group gives Yachiyo the set of sakura blossom-themed coasters as a symbol of their team unity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka are separately attacked by multiple Kamihama Witches in Mitakihara before reuniting. They realize the Witch incursion is a coordinated attack meant to prevent them from leaving Mitakihara. Their magic and Grief Seed reserves are heavily depleted in the constant battles.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the ongoing Witch attacks, the trio is overwhelmed by a powerful Witch and is forced to retreat. Sayaka breaks down, admitting her terror of becoming a Witch and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka share their fears and resolve to face the threat together. They are observed by Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, who imply the attack is part of their plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Fendt Hope, Kyoko, having gained the trust of her unit, is taken on a tour of the Wings of the Magius headquarters by her White Feather superior.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, the three defeat the Feathers sent to observe them, and after interrogating them, they receive a message from Iroha about how to save Mami. Holy Mami arrives to Mitakihara and reveals she brought the Witches to Mitakihara to keep the three of them &amp;quot;safe,&amp;quot; and insists the Magius will save them. Alina Gray also appears and traps Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka in a Barrier, which Mami seals with her ribbons.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her infiltration, Kyoko is taken to Hotel Fenthope by Mifuyu Azusa. She confronts Holy Mami, accusing her of not being the real Mami Tomoe. Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi arrive and reinforce the Rumor brainwashing on Mami. Mifuyu secretly escorts Kyoko away and reveals the Magius&#039; plans: they are using a mysterious entity called &amp;quot;Eve&amp;quot; to liberate Magical Girls and are deliberately bringing Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama to hatch it. Horrified, Kyoko rejects the Magius and is led out of the city by Mifuyu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Once More From Here]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko arrives in Mitakihara and frees Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka from Alina&#039;s Barrier. She explains the Magius&#039; plan to bring Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama and Homura urges the group to stay in Mitakihara for safety. Kyoko departs alone, later resolving to return and crush the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Iroha has a sudden memory flashback to the hospital, triggered by the word &amp;quot;sakura.&amp;quot; She remembers a story she, Ui, Touka, and Nemu created about the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot; She deduces this Rumor is real and located at the hospital, and that all the Rumors were created there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Touka and Nemu observe that Embryo Eve has reached a critical state and they confirm that a legendary, cross-dimensional event they foresaw: the arrival of Walpurgisnacht, will provide the final, massive energy surge needed to hatch Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo calls a meeting with the Mikazuki Villa household, Tsuruno, and the Momoko trio to share her concern that rumors persist even after they defeat the Uwasa themselves. The group splits up to investigate whether the original Uwasa have truly vanished or transformed into something new.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Hereafter]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko, Kaede, and Rena investigate the Breakup Staircase and find only scattered internet gossip remains. During their search, lingering tensions surface over Rena&#039;s painful memories of when Kaede was kidnapped by that Uwasa, but the trio ultimately reconciles and continues working together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno visit Mizuna Shrine, where the Séance Shrine Uwasa has transformed into a popular spot for relationship prayers with new mascots. They encounter a grieving girl who comes daily to pray for her deceased friend, and Yachiyo is reminded of her own departed companions Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Felicia track down the man behind the revived Misery Water rumor, who confesses he was scammed into buying the water and cannot bring himself to deceive others. Felicia helps him find honest work, and the rumors die out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana investigates an online forum where troubled users make veiled threats, but the rumor fades without incident. Tsuruno and Iroha check Chelation Land, where Tsuruno reflects on her past brainwashing and muses about whether some Uwasa exist independently of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The groups reconvene and report that all investigated rumors have left minimal traces. Yachiyo concludes their investigation of the Uwasa is complete, and only the Wings of Magius themselves remain to be confronted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voices from Beyond, Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the afterlife, Mel Anna meets Kanae Yukino, another Magical Girl ghost who also died fighting a Witch. Mel is thrilled to discover they were both on a team with Yachiyo Nanami and calls Kanae her senpai. Kanae takes Mel to a ghost cafe where deceased Magical Girls gather, explaining they cannot interact with the living world except through psychics.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Voices From Beyond]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they wander Kamihama, Mel notices Witch numbers rising dramatically and worries about Yachiyo. They follow Yachiyo and are relieved to find she has new companions in Iroha Tamaki and others, though they remain concerned about their former teammate Mifuyu&#039;s absence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, they watch helplessly as Yachiyo battles the Wings of Magius and eventually enters the Memory Museum, where she relives the trauma of losing Mel and Kanae. When Yachiyo dissolves her team afterward, convinced her magic causes others to die for her, the ghosts desperately try to reach her. Kanae notices Yachiyo kept their mementos: Mel&#039;s fortune log and Kanae&#039;s notebook. They focus their thoughts on these items, and that night, Yachiyo discovers their messages—Kanae&#039;s lyrics about forming a circle and Mel&#039;s fortune predicting the current events. Grateful, she resolves to move forward. Their successful contact gets their ghost licenses suspended, and they watch Yachiyo&#039;s dream of their encounter before fading.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 15th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius initiate a city-wide offensive, unleashing powerful Witches and sending brainwashed Black and White Feathers to indiscriminately attack other Magical Girls. Mami delivers a declaration of war to Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will no longer delay their plan for &amp;quot;freedom.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Kamihama, Painted in Fiction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magical Girls of Kamihama form a coordinated response and Yachiyo&#039;s team devises a strategy: first, eliminate the unleashed Witches; second, protect other Magical Girls and direct them to Mitama&#039;s shop as a safe haven; third, deal with the rampaging Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, recalling the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; in Hokuyo Ward, theorizes it could be the location of the Magius&#039; hidden base. Yachiyo approves Iroha and Sana to investigate this lead separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next several hours, the teams execute the plan. Yachiyo rescues Ren from a Black Feather and escorts her to Mitama&#039;s shop. Kaede Afinds Konomi protecting an injured Kako; together they defeat a Witch and get Kako to safety. Rena aids Asuka and Sasara, later teaming with Ria and Manaka to defeat a Witch. Momoko and Aimi rescue Kokoro and Masara from Feathers. Tsuruno works with Hinano to eliminate a Witch and warns her about the Feathers. Felicia fights alongside Akira and Nanaka&#039;s group, eventually reuniting with Tsuruno. Kanagi protects Himika from Feathers and sends her to Mitama&#039;s. Yachiyo and Kanagi also rescue Riko and Ayaka from Feather attacks and track the enemy to a heliport. Yachiyo, Kanagi, Momoko&#039;s team, and Tsuruno&#039;s team successfully clear the city of the powerful Witches and they rescue and guide numerous Magical Girls to Mitama&#039;s shop. Momoko confronts Mitama, challenging her to abandon her neutral stance and Mitama agrees to allow her shop to be used as a headquarters and to share her knowledge about the Magius&#039; plans.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama reveals the truth that Magical Girls are destined to become Witches, and that the Magius aim to use the energy from Embryo Eve to spread the Doppel phenomenon worldwide, preventing this fate. However, their methods involve sacrificing the citizens of Kamihama and other Magical Girls to gather this energy, so the Magical Girls at the shelter decide to join the fight against the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, in Chuo Ward, Yachiyo and Kanagi are ambushed by Mami and a horde of brainwashed Feathers at the Kamihama Central Tower heliport. The battle is difficult due to the Feathers&#039; numbers and Mami&#039;s enhanced power from the Uwasa. Kanagi reads Mami&#039;s mind and finds her personality has been completely overwritten by the Uwasa&#039;s influence, leaving only her devotion to the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia then arrive as reinforcements and during the fight, a Black Feather loses her &amp;quot;Receiver Pendant.&amp;quot; Kanagi reads this Feather&#039;s mind, uncovering that the Feathers&#039; berserk state is caused by the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Receiver Pendant,&amp;quot; which numbs their emotions and forces them to obey the Magius&#039; orders. The memory also reveals the three Magius orchestrating the attack to harvest emotional energy from the chaos, believing it will bring their utopia closer. The Feather who lost her pendant then begins to regain her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team battles the brainwashed Mami and the Wings of the Magius. With the help of Momoko&#039;s team and Kanagi&#039;s ability to read the enemy&#039;s weakness, they remove the Uwasa from Mami, freeing her from its control. Mami collapses from exhaustion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Homura pleads with Madoka and Sayaka not to go to Kamihama, fearing for their lives against Walpurgisnacht. After initial hesitation, Madoka and Sayaka resolve to go and Homura agrees to accompany them. The trio leaves for Kamihama but cannot contact Iroha Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Upon arriving in Kamihama, the three are attacked by brainwashed Black Feathers in Sakae Ward, but the Feathers suddenly regain their senses and flee. The trio pursues them into Central Ward and meets Kanoko Yayoi, Karin Misono, and Natsuki Utsuho. They learn that other Magical Girls are gathering at Mitama Yakumo&#039;s office and Karin reveals she saw Nanaka Tokiwa carrying an unconscious Mami there. The group goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds Mami, who has been freed from the Magius&#039; control and awakens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius then execute their plan: they cause a city-wide blackout and seize control of Kamihama&#039;s radio waves and power grid. They use Nemu&#039;s power to project a false utopia over the city, attracting Witches, and Touka&#039;s power to send a signal that summons the legendary Witch, Walpurgisnacht. Their goal is to use the chaos and emotional energy to hatch &amp;quot;Eve.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana infiltrate the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; Labyrinth, initially having their presence hidden due to Sana&#039;s unique magic. There, Iroha confronts Touka and Nemu, using the Uwasa itself as proof that her memories of their shared past with Ui are real. Despite this, Touka and Nemu don&#039;t believe her and refuse to halt their plans. Alina arrives, captures Iroha, and takes her to their main base, Hotel Fendt Hope. Afterwards, Sana escapes and informs Yachiyo&#039;s arriving team of Iroha&#039;s capture.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Mitama reveals she previously supplied the Wings with Grief Seeds in exchange for neutrality but has now chosen to side with Yachiyo&#039;s team against them. Mami herself awakens, now having reconciled with her inner turmoil. Now, Yachiyo&#039;s team, reinforced by Momoko&#039;s team and Mami, prepares to assault Hotel Fendt Hope to rescue Iroha and stop the Magius before Walpurgisnacht arrives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, freed from the Uwasa&#039;s influence, resolves to expose the Magius&#039; true plans to the Feathers and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka decide to support her instead of joining Iroha&#039;s group. Nanaka and her team escort them to the heliport and during the journey, Mami explains to Nanaka that the Feathers&#039; loyalty was placed not in the Magius themselves, but in Mifuyu Azusa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 9: Take My Hand]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the heliport, Mami arrives where the exhausted Feathers and Kamihama Magical Girls are at a stalemate. She reveals the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice hundreds of civilians, including the Feathers&#039; own friends and family, to Walpurgisnacht. She also details their previous use of the Chelation Land Rumor for a similar purpose and the Feathers are shocked and dismayed. Some even accuse Mami of hypocrisy, which she does not deny.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Feathers split into two factions: one that still desires liberation at any cost and another that vows to protect Kamihama. A fight breaks out between them and Madoka and the others defend Mami, declaring their unwavering friendship. Moved, Mami asks the Feathers if they have anyone they trust unconditionally, as she now does, and the Feathers state they trust Mifuyu and demand to hear the truth from her directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami entrusts the Feathers to Nanaka&#039;s team, while she, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka then proceed to Hotel Fendthope to aid Iroha. On the way, Mami thanks her friends and asks them to rely on her as an equal ally and friend, not as a veteran. They arrive at the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Mitama is guarding the entrance. She confirms she is aware of Mami&#039;s past struggles and allows the group to pass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 16th==&lt;br /&gt;
* At Hotel Fendt Hope, Sana infiltrates the hotel to find Iroha and she overhears Feathers discussing Iroha&#039;s location and heads there. Iroha is held in a cell and, with her Soul Gem confiscated, she reflects on her memories of Ui, Touka, and Nemu and resolves to stop the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their plans and Alina demands Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem and body be brought to her. A weather report at the same time indicates the approach of Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana locates Iroha&#039;s cell, and she breaks Iroha out, but the act of breaking the cell door triggers an Uwasa, as the entire building is part of a Rumor. Sana defeats the Uwasa and as they flee, they are ambushed by Black Feathers. Kyoko Sakura, who was undergoing an orientation with the Feathers but decided against joining them, intervenes and helps defeat the attackers as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha explains the Magius&#039; goal is to summon Walpurgisnacht, and Kyoko reveals the Magius also plan to use Iroha, Mifuyu, and the Amane sisters as nourishment for &amp;quot;Eve,&amp;quot; the core of the system. Suddenly, Iroha collapses and stops breathing due to the distance from her Soul Gem. A Black Feather who pretended to be unconscious seizes Iroha&#039;s body and escapes with it, and Sana and Kyoko give chase.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team enters the Hotel Fendt Hope through the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth and they split into two teams: Yachiyo&#039;s group heads to the top floor to rescue Mifuyu and the Amane sisters, while Momoko&#039;s group searches for Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team finds Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa unconscious, their bodies separated from their Soul Gems. They quickly recover the Soul Gems, reviving the three, and Mifuyu confirms the Magius summoned Walpurgisnacht to provide energy to hatch Eve. Mifuyu and the Amane sisters renounce the Magius and join Yachiyo&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Iroha is transported by a Black Feather who reveals her motivation: her younger sister turned into a Witch, and she supports the Magius to prevent others from suffering the same fate. Momoko&#039;s team intercepts them and rescues Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko and Sana fight their way through the hotel and reunite with the main group. Momoko&#039;s team recovers a bag containing Iroha&#039;s, Mifuyu&#039;s, and the Amane sisters&#039; Soul Gems. A group of Feathers from the East confronts them but is persuaded by Kanagi to stand down, and they retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the teams reunited, the full coalition of Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, Kanagi, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Kyoko regroups. They possess all the stolen Soul Gems and are united in their goal to stop the Magius and confront Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team&#039;s path to the underground chapel is blocked and Mifuyu determines the magical building, a Rumor crafted by Nemu Hiiragi, has been reconfigured. Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa attempt to break the blockade, but a powerful magical wind erupts, separating the group. Mifuyu, the Amane sisters, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, and Kyoko are blown outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, Sana, Felicia, Tsuruno, and Kanagi remain inside and they defeat an Uwasa that attacks them. Mifuyu communicates from outside that they are locked out, and she devises a new plan: her group will gather other Kamihama Magical Girls to attack and destroy the Uwasa of Hotel Fendt Hope itself, which will collapse the building. She instructs Yachiyo&#039;s group to hurry to the underground chapel for safety before the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu&#039;s group fights off Witches released by Alina Gray as a defense measure. Mami, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka also arrive and assist them. After the battle, Mami convinces Mifuyu to address all the Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, and using the Amane sisters&#039; sound magic, Mifuyu broadcasts a telepathic message across Kamihama, revealing the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice civilians and summon Walpurgisnacht. She urges the Feathers to lay down their arms and prepare to fight the legendary Witch. Many Feathers also heed her call and defect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami then uses her magic to create a small opening in the building&#039;s barrier and enters Hotel Fendt Hope alone to rejoin Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kyoko is noted to be absent. Yachiyo&#039;s team searches for the entrance to the underground chapel and Mami reveals she concealed the entrance with her magic. She severs the ribbon hiding the path, officially breaking her ties with the Wings of the Magius and Mami then leaves to assist with the attack on the Uwasa of Fendt Hope outside. Kyoko meets Mami along the way and gives her a Grief Seed before they both exit the building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team then encounters false copies of Touka, Nemu, and Alina from the Mirror Witch&#039;s barrier; they realize the fakes speak differently and defeat them before continuing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, Mifuyu&#039;s group, now joined by Mami, Kyoko, and the Feathers who defected, attacks the Uwasa of Fendt Hope. Despite a coordinated assault, the Uwasa proves extremely resilient and withstands their combined power. The battle continues as the city-wide weather disaster escalates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team proceeds down a long staircase into a deep, dark underground area filled with strong magical impurities. Along the way, they are confronted by Mirror copies of themselves that voice their deepest insecurities, but each member overcomes their own doubts by relying on their friends. In the underground chapel, they find Alina, Nemu, and Touka waiting for them. At the back of the chapel, they see the massive, unhatched form of the Witch known as Embryo Eve. They reveal the full scope of their plan. They explain that Kyubey&#039;s true mission is to harvest the emotional energy of Magical Girls to counteract the universe&#039;s heat death. The cycle of hope and despair, culminating in a Magical Girl&#039;s transformation into a Witch, produces the necessary energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius intend to usurp this system. They plan to use the phase transition energy from Eve&#039;s transformation into a full Witch to create a permanent forcefield over Kamihama. This field would allow Magical Girls to release their impurities as Doppels instead of becoming Witches, and the energy would be fed back to the universe, making Kyubey and new Magical Girl contracts obsolete. The imminent arrival of Walpurgisnacht is a key part of their plan, as its destruction by Eve will provide the massive energy required.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Despite understanding the plan, Iroha and her team refuse to accept the Magius&#039; methods or their control over the future. The Magius argue that without their plan, Walpurgisnacht will destroy the city regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 2.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, the battle against the Uwasa of Fendt Hope continues. Realizing they are losing, Mifuyu uses a dangerous self-illusion to unleash all her magic at once in a final attack. She destroys the Uwasa but becomes incapacitated in the process as her Soul Gem starts breaking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the chapel, the destruction of the Uwasa causes Fendt Hope&#039;s Labyrinth to collapse, and the chapel is exposed to the outside as the building disappears. After the collapse of Hotel Fendt Hope, the teams reunite in the forest as the Labyrinth vanishes. Yachiyo learns that Mifuyu was severely injured destroying the Uwasa and was taken to Mitama for treatment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius appear with Embryo Eve, now freed from the chapel, and they prepare to fully release Eve so it can devour the approaching Walpurgisnacht. A battle ensues as the teams try to stop them and Iroha and Sana break through the defensive line of Familiars to attack Eve directly. Iroha&#039;s attack on Eve fails and Eve captures Iroha but does not harm her. A bright light emanates from Iroha, allowing Sana to rescue her. Sana reveals she possesses a branch from the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, which was not in bloom when she received it. The branch suddenly blossoms after Iroha touches Eve and Iroha realizes that Embryo Eve is her missing sister, Ui Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana confront Embryo Eve on Takayama Mountain and Iroha believes Eve is her sister, Ui Tamaki, but Eve breaks free from the mountain and begins to move toward Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama City, Walpurgisnacht approaches from the sea, accompanied by a massive horde of Familiars that begin to swarm the city. Magical Girl teams led by Hinano Miyako and Nanaka Tokiwa engage the Familiars along the coast to prevent widespread destruction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the ruins of Hotel Fendt Hope, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo bring the injured Mifuyu to Mitama Yakumo for emergency aid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Takayama Mountain, Iroha pleads with the combined Magical Girl forces not to kill Eve, revealing her belief that it is Ui. The Magius leaders and Alina retreat. Eve leaps into the sky, heading for Sankyo Ward in Kamihama. Yachiyo Nanami&#039;s team prepares to pursue Eve, while Madoka Kaname&#039;s group from Mitakihara heads to the coast to help defend against Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Magius headquarters, Touka and Nemu dismiss Iroha&#039;s claims about Ui, despite Nemu&#039;s private suspicions. Alina expresses interest in Iroha&#039;s memories but remains focused on Eve&#039;s hatching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Eve&#039;s arrival in Sankyo Ward, Mitama informs Iroha and the team that Ui&#039;s true body and Soul Gem are contained within Embryo Eve, which is a &amp;quot;Half-Witch.&amp;quot; To save Ui, they must defeat Eve&#039;s manifested form without destroying the Soul Gem and Mitama identifies a large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest as the core that maintains its form and its weak point. Mitama also treats the comatose Mifuyu, whose Soul Gem is critically cracked from overuse. Mitama stabilizes it but cannot fully heal her, and Tsukuyo and Tsukasa decide to rejoin the fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Eve rampages through Sankyo Ward, the combined Magical Girl teams attack Eve but find their assaults completely ineffective. Mitama, the Amane sisters, and other groups like Hinano Miyako&#039;s team regroup and they decide to consolidate their forces: one group will focus on defeating Eve, while the other prepares for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s landfall.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia readies her hammer and strikes Eve on the head with a magic‑powered blow, using her memory‑obliterating ability to confuse Eve and halt its advance; in the aftermath of the strike, a strange glow is visible near Eve&#039;s belly. Meanwhile, the Amane sisters relay the critical intelligence about Eve&#039;s red jewel weak point to Yachiyo&#039;s team. Eve begins to move toward Chuo Ward, and Sana proposes a plan to immobilize Eve so the team can target its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, the combined forces of Yachiyo&#039;s team, the Amane sisters, and other White Feathers execute a plan to immobilize Embryo Eve. They use chains from Sana&#039;s shield, spears, and plants to bind Eve to a large building and Iroha successfully strikes the large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest, its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eve retaliates by absorbing a massive vortex of impurities its Familiars had collected, causing its body to mutate and merge with the jewel. Iroha then sees a vision of Ui trapped within the core, reaffirming her resolve to save her, but the Magius arrive to protect Eve and ensure it consumes Walpurgisnacht. Iroha declares her intent to enter the gem to save Ui directly, and despite being severely injured, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia hold off the Magius, creating an opening for Iroha to advance toward Eve&#039;s core.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:10-19.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha reaches Ui&#039;s body but cannot shatter the gem surrounding it completely. Touka arrives at her side, and questions her motives. Iroha declares Ui is her sister and a precious friend to Touka and Nemu, and as Iroha reaches for Ui, the Embryo Eve attacks and Lil&#039; Kyubey intervenes and blocks the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu experience a flood of memories, recalling the original events. She remembers seeing Iroha with Kyubey in a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, learning about Magical Girls, and devising a plan with Ui and Nemu to usurp Kyubey&#039;s powers to create an automatic purification system and save all Magical Girls. Their plan failed when Ui&#039;s &amp;quot;harvest&amp;quot; ability went haywire upon her transformation, forcing Nemu to sever Ui&#039;s soul from her body and store it within the de-powered, small Kyubey to prevent her from becoming a Witch. This act erased Ui from the world&#039;s memory, as well as any traces of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Regaining their memories, Touka uses her stored energy to destabilize the Embryo Eve and Nemu uses her stories to restrain it. Iroha shatters Eve&#039;s central gem, and the small Kyubey releases Ui&#039;s soul. Ui awakens and reassures Touka and Nemu that she does not blame them for their shared decision. The Embryo Eve, now soulless, begins to decay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined Magical Girl forces, including Mami, Kyoko, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura, continue their battle against Walpurgisnacht in Chuo Ward. Despite their numbers, the Witch proves immensely powerful and resilient.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102304 mikage desire.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, a massive explosion of light and energy erupts from the location of the decaying Embryo Eve. The Eve has transformed into a new, stable form, and Touka deduces that Alina, who had previously shrunk the anti-Kyubey forcefield to contain the city&#039;s energy, has now wrapped that forcefield tightly around Eve. This action stabilized Eve&#039;s energy and prevented its decay, allowing Alina to control it as a tool for her art. Alina appears, now fused with an Uwasa in a manner similar to [[Holy Mami]], and declares her intent to use Eve to create her ultimate masterpiece, disregarding the goal of Magical Girl liberation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, as this is taking place, [[Mikage Yakumo]], Mitama&#039;s younger sister, is approached by Kyubey when the Barrier disappears. After he explains Mitama&#039;s wish to her, Mikage makes a wish of her own to undo the effects of Mitama&#039;s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Chapter 2: Smiles and Fireworks]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Holy Alina]] asserts that humanity subconsciously desires destruction and that she will use the Embryo Eve to fulfill this wish as her ultimate artwork. Kanagi confronts her own past desire to destroy the city due to its history of conflict but ultimately rejects Alina&#039;s path as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 nemu uwasa.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu, as the creator of Alina&#039;s Uwasa, takes responsibility. She uses the last of her life force to summon every Uwasa recorded in her book to attack Alina directly. The attack defeats Alina, making her disappear, but Nemu collapses, severely weakened and unable to move her legs, so White Feathers evacuate her to safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 eve user1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Embryo Eve, now uncontrolled, begins to rampage and targets Ui, attempting to reabsorb her. Lil&#039; Kyubey implies a solution: it will take Ui&#039;s place within Eve. Touka realizes that the small Kyubey, which contains Ui&#039;s former soul and Kyubey&#039;s original functions, possesses similar attributes to Eve. It is also incapable of becoming a Witch. Lil&#039; Kyubey merges with the Embryo Eve, causing it to release all orbs of light from its body, lading in different parts of Kamihama. The small Kyubey thus becomes the core of the &amp;quot;Automatic Purification System&amp;quot; that Touka, Ui, and Nemu originally envisioned, preventing Magical Girls from becoming Witches within Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival, the combined forces of Magical Girls, including the various teams from Kamihama and the team from Mitakihara, are on the verge of defeat. Homura and the others exhaust their weapons and energy in a desperate attempt to defeat it. They are exhausted, out of Grief Seeds, many are incapacitated, and despite their injuries and depleted resources, the girls refuse to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Last Magia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Walpurgisnacht prepares a massive attack that seems certain to annihilate them, an unknown, benevolent force envelops the Magical Girls. Iroha hears a mysterious voice and sees white feathers raining down, an experience shared by everyone on the battlefield. They all experience a sudden surge of energy and a feeling of being urged forward. This voice is from the Law of Cycles, who had been watching the timeline but not interfering with it. The feathers rejuvenate the group, lifting their spirits and empowering them to continue fighting; their strength is restored, and even the injured find themselves able to fight again. With morale returned, they rally together for one final, united assault, redirecting Walpurgisnacht to Kaihin Park using a coordinated strategy with their unique magical abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined forces of Magical Girls coordinate their unique magics to combat Walpurgisnacht: &lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Natsuki Utsuho initiate the counterattack by using their Encouragement and Cheering magic to boost the morale and power of all allies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seizing this surge of energy, the team implements a complex strategy to control the battlefield. First, Felicia, Meiyui Chun, and Rika Ayano use their Memory Erasure, Persuasion, and Mind-Altering magic to disorient Walpurgisnacht and force it to change course toward the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** To precisely guide the Witch to the intended battleground, Tsuruno, Riko Chiaki, and Emiri Kisaki then use their Good Luck, Luring, and Charm magic, successfully leading Walpurgisnacht to the beachfront park while evading its attacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Once there, the focus shifts to immobilizing the colossal foe. Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Asuka Tatsuki use their Flute Blossom Resonance and Action Control magic in an attempt to halt Walpurgisnacht&#039;s movement entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When it retaliates, Himika Mao diverts its attacks, creating an opening for Kanagi Izumi, who, with a power boost from Mitama&#039;s Coordination, attacks it directly to stun it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** This creates the crucial opening for a full restraint, and Mami, Kanoko Yayoi, and Kaede use Ribbon Binding, Stitching, and Plant magic to ensnare the Witch, which Rena amplified by using her Transformation magic to transform into Kaede and double the restraining power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Walpurgisnacht finally immobilized, Nanaka organizes their forces while Hazuki Yusa and Akira Shinobu identify its weak point with their magic, a gear connected to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire group then launch a coordinated, all-out assault, with offensive magics like Hinano Miyako&#039;s Chemical Explosions leading the charge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout the final attack, Kokoro Awane, Ayame Mikuri, and Konoha Shizumi provide vital defense with their Wall Creation, Safeguarding, and Fog Generation magic, protecting the assault team and ensuring their united strike could land.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Realizing their combined assault was not enough to deliver a final blow, the Magical Girls regroup and to ensure they could act as one perfect unit, Reira Ibuki uses her Purifying Flame to heal their wounds and replenish their energy, while Mito Aino uses her Heart-Linking magic to synchronize their hearts and minds, allowing their resolve to become perfectly aligned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With their spirits united, they form a new strategy and Konomi Haruna uses her magic to force their Fighting Spirit to Bloom, amplifying their collective potential, while Kako Natsume uses her Event Reproduction magic to reinforce the gathered energy, and Ren Isuzu enacts her Nirvana magic to ensure the attack would bring permanent rest to the Witch if successful.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The plan to create a final weapon then commences. Ui uses her Harvest magic to gather the hope and magical energy from every single Magical Girl on the battlefield. She passes this immense energy to Touka, who used her Conversion magic to condense it all into a single, concentrated mass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* This mass of collective hope is then entrusted to Yachiyo, whose unique magic of Inheritance allows her to embody and control the power. She and Iroha shape this energy into a gigantic, radiant arrow aimed at the weak point that had been identified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they prepared to fire, Walpurgisnacht launches an attack to free itself from their binds. In that moment, Homura activates her Time-Stop, and touches Iroha, allowing her to move within the suspended time and take aim unimpeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the path clear, Iroha releases the arrow and strikes the central gear with overwhelming force. As time resumed, the arrow consumed Walpurgisnacht in a brilliant explosion, finally ending the calamity and clearing the sky over Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102005 magicalgirl3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura reflects that she has finally surpassed this battle after countless timelines, and Madoka expresses relief that no more people will suffer from Walpurgisnacht. The girls in Kamihama also celebrate their hard-earned victory, despite the fact that many are injured and exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Epilogue==&lt;br /&gt;
* Some days after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, Iroha and Ui see their parents off at the airport as they leave for their overseas assignment. Iroha and Ui then return to Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama City, where Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana welcome them back. Mifuyu is also present, as Iroha was able to use her magic to repair Mifuyu&#039;s damaged Soul Gem, allowing her to recover. Later that day, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Kanagi, and Mitama visit Mikazuki Villa as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, [[Ultimate Madoka]], a being who identifies as a record-keeper of all universes reflects on the new timeline centered on Kamihama. She states she intervened one last time by sending a &amp;quot;rain of feathers&amp;quot; to empower the Magical Girls but will now only observe, fearing further direct interference could damage this fragile new reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu organize a meeting for all Magical Girls involved in the recent conflict to discuss the actions of the Wings of the Magius and the future fate of all Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu visit the Eternal Sakura. The Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura congratulates them on finally being together as friends and Nemu, who now uses a wheelchair, accepts her condition as a consequence of her past actions. Iroha briefly wonders about the whereabouts of the small Kyubey that once accompanied her, and then meet Lil&#039; Kyubey in the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After some days, Homura reflects on their victory. Despite saving Madoka and defeating Walpurgisnacht, she feels uncertain. The fundamental curse of Magical Girls becoming Witches remains, and she questions if this timeline is truly the best outcome. At school, Mami informs the group about recent disappearances and people getting lost, which they attribute to a new Witch. They devise a plan to track it by mapping the incidents. Kyoko arrives from Kazamino, also hunting the same Witch, and a tense alliance forms.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: The Place We Finally Reached]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group splits into teams to search the area Mami identified. Madoka notices Homura&#039;s preoccupation and reassures her. The teams locate the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and coordinate their attack. During the battle, Homura fears for her friends&#039; safety, but they work together effectively. Kyoko and Sayaka create an opening for Mami and Madoka to deliver the final blow, while Homura evacuates the Witch-Kissed civilians.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Kyoko gives the Grief Seed to Mami and Sayaka declares she has no regrets about becoming a Magical Girl, valuing the power to protect and the friends she has made. This prompts Mami to reconcile with Kyoko, asking to be true friends who help each other when needed again, to which Kyoko agrees. Madoka then states she is also glad she became a Magical Girl, expressing faith in the future because of her friends. This resolve causes Homura to weep with joy, finally believing this timeline, where they face their fate together, could be the one she sought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group, including Kyoko, shares a meal at a pancake restaurant. They discuss an upcoming meeting in Kamihama to address the Magius&#039; actions. While Kyoko opts not to attend, the others plan to update her later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Art 04 00 0042 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One Saturday, Mami volunteers to help clean the damage done by the Magius incident and Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura go along as well. During it, a Witch attacks and a Magical Girl they were helping unleashes a Doppel. They defeat the Witch and the girl falls unconscious, so Mami takes her to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After stabilizing her, Mami asks Mitama to help her face her own Doppel and she guides Mami to look within. Mami meets her Doppel and it tries to convince her to forget the past, yet Mami refuses and proclaims that she accepts the Doppel as part of herself. Mami then wakes up, thanking everyone and says they will build the future together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cherry Blossom Dreams===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, the Eternal Sakura completed her duties as an Uwasa when her tree came into full bloom. Her Rumor was rewritten and she was connected to Touka&#039;s server, reborn as an Uwasa with ample knowledge who would later be named Sakurako. Around this time, Yachiyo received a message asking what should be done about the six ringleaders of the Magius—Touka Satomi, Nemu Hiiragi, Mifuyu Azusa, Mitama Yakumo, Tsukuyo Amane, and Tsukasa Amane. Nemu proposed rewriting the Eternal Sakura to serve as an impartial judge. They designed three trials: the first to analyze crimes and calculate a verdict, the second to survey all Magical Girls, and the third to reach a final decision based on responses. Punishments ranged from monitoring to destruction of the Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the first trial, Sakurako sentenced Touka and Nemu to the maximum penalty. Mifuyu received power revocation, reduced from maximum due to testimony that she helped destroy Fendt Hope. Mitama received conditional power revocation, allowed to transform only for Coordinator work. The Amane sisters received power restriction. After the trial, Touka and Nemu remained calm, thanking everyone. Yachiyo noted they had intentionally omitted their ages from consideration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Nemu and Sakurako wait at a train station with others. Nearby girls whisper about Nemu, recognizing her as one of the Magius and questioning why she faces no punishment. Ui argues with Iroha about using the Stardust Time Viewer, while Touka pushes through the crowd, disheveled from navigating the train alone. The three girls reunite, each feeling it is a dream. Touka sends Ui a photo of the map they created together in the hospital. The group travels to the mall, where Ui finally visits the croquette shop she always wanted to try, and they share plates to taste each other&#039;s orders. From there, they take a rickshaw to Mizuna Shrine, where they briefly encounter Tsukuyo and Tsukasa, who quickly hurry away. The group buys prayer plaques, though most hesitate at the cost until a shrine attendant suggests writing prayers on the back of their fortunes instead. Iroha wishes for all Magical Girls to get along, while Touka and Nemu write their own wishes. They argue over where to go next—Touka wants a lookout point in Hokuyo Ward, but Ui resists rushing. Sakurako suggests they also face reality, so they head to Central Ward, still scarred from Walpurgisnacht and Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui admits she used the library as an excuse to bring them here, hoping the Stardust Time Viewer would show them a hopeful future. Nemu summons the Rumor, transporting them to a star-filled space. The Viewer shows Iroha&#039;s future: a world where the Doppel system has expanded globally and all Magical Girls coexist peacefully. Iroha feels embarrassed, but Sakurako assures her the wish is beautiful. When Ui asks to see her own future, the Viewer has nothing to show. Ui realizes this means Touka and Nemu are absent from Iroha&#039;s future and accuses them of planning to die. The vision fades, returning them to the rubble of Central Ward. Touka and Nemu admit they believe they should die for their crimes, pointing to the destruction around them, the Feathers they manipulated, and the innocent people hurt. Sakurako confirms she knew this all along. Ui slaps them both, demanding they consider how she feels. Nemu explains they wanted to do what they could while they still had time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second trial begins. No surveys have arrived. Sakurako agrees to wait one hour. Yachiyo and others leave to retrieve them. Mifuyu confronts Touka and Nemu, asking if they sabotaged the surveys. They admit they did, altering the date so the surveys would not arrive in time. They wanted to be judged and sentenced to death to spare Ui from the hatred directed at them. Ui refuses to accept this. She and Iroha transform to protect them. The hour ends and Sakurako moves to deliver punishment. Iroha and Ui hold her back as Mifuyu and Mitama join the defense. The Amane sisters attack Sakurako with their flutes, accepting heavier sentences. Iroha realizes they can use photos of the surveys as evidence. Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s phones begin chiming with images from Yachiyo and the others. Iroha begs Sakurako to accept the evidence. Sakurako confirms the surveys are real and delays the trial, requiring them to arrive by day&#039;s end. The surveys show Magical Girls believe Touka and Nemu should be punished, but not killed. Some suggest atonement, rehabilitation, or mentorship. Reading the responses, Touka and Nemu weep, but Ui weeps with joy. Based on the surveys, sentences are reduced. Touka and Nemu receive monitoring with transformation-prevention bracelets, while Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s sentences are reduced to monitoring. The Amane sisters are found not guilty and Feathers who revealed themselves have their cases dismissed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the group gathers. Touka and Nemu wear their bracelets. Sakurako serves drinks. Mifuyu asks about tutoring Touka in exchange for help with pharmacy school. Nemu will rely on Sakurako for mobility on difficult days. Tsuruno suggests welcoming them as the Brains of Kamihama. In the kitchen, Sakurako hugs Touka and Nemu, then Iroha and Ui. She tells them she loves them. The days she always dreamed of have arrived. The real spring can finally begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocolatier in Mirror Country===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro, Masara, Konomi, Asuka and Sasara gather at Manaka&#039;s place to plan their charity bazaar booth. Kokoro and Masara participate to help Himika&#039;s family without making it obvious, while Asuka and Sasara join to invite a lonely girl named Chi whose father died. Konomi&#039;s booth was invited directly due to her popular Valentine&#039;s bouquets. They agree on a collaboration between Walnuts and Blossom the florist, dividing tasks among themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Warming Valentine]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Manaka&#039;s father&#039;s help, Kokoro and Masara make bear-shaped chocolates. Asuka recruits dojo volunteers, Sasara invites Chi and designs leaflets, and Konomi prepares bouquets with Izayoi&#039;s help decorating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the bazaar, adults receive bouquets with donation and children get free chocolates. Chi and her mother visit happily. Himika initially refuses chocolate but accepts after realizing her siblings want it, and they enjoy the day together. The event succeeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later at a celebration party, Sasara and Kokoro feel their efforts changed nothing. Masara scolds them for impatience, explaining kindness takes time. Kanagi and Asuka arrive with good news that Himika&#039;s family is making White Day gifts, and Chi&#039;s mother now calls daily. Relieved, they enjoy the party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Valentine&#039;s Day, girls give chocolates to loved ones. Sasara gives to her father, Asuka to her cousin, and Konomi to her aunt. Masara and Kokoro exchange chocolates at their favorite spot, and Kokoro tearfully reconciles with her parents. Elsewhere, Rena and Tsukuyo each struggle to give chocolates to Kaede and Tsukasa. Following a rumor, they separately pray at a radio tower, accidentally encounter each other, and successfully give their chocolates when Kaede and Tsukasa also arrive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, in Mitakihara, Nagisa bakes a chocolate cake with Mami while feeling that something is wrong, as her memories feel hazy and she seems more childish than she should be. She realizes her memories of being longtime friends with Mami are false, yet she recognizes that the warmth she feels is what she has always wanted. When they finish the cake, a Witch that looks like a younger version of Nagisa steals it, and they chase it into a mirror, finding themselves in a transformed version of the Mirror Witch&#039;s Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Chocolatier in Mirror Country]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They encounter Madoka and Homura trapped in a time loop illusion, free them, and learn that Sayaka and Kyoko went ahead and are now missing. They find Sayaka and Kyoko trapped in a competition for a magical cake, so Mami and Nagisa enter and win by choosing a song they both know well. Using the cake&#039;s wishes, they reunite the group and defeat the attacking Witch. Nagisa realizes she has two sets of memories and deduces the chocolate-loving Witch is an alternate version of herself who wished for chocolate cake instead of cheesecake. This Witch has been consuming the Labyrinth&#039;s power and attracting Witches from parallel worlds through mirror gates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The little Witch steals the cake again, and during the chase, Nagisa and Mami become separated in a dark fog. A poem warns them not to open their eyes or they will lose each other, but Nagisa&#039;s self-doubt overwhelms her. Remembering losing her mother and everyone else, she convinces herself Mami is not really there, opens her eyes, and is consumed by the Witch. The group fights through countless gates to find her and engages the master Witch. Inside, Mami finds Nagisa, hugs her tightly, and promises they will always be friends because of the future they will share, not false memories. Nagisa finally believes her, and the cake is returned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group realizes that even with the master Witch defeated, other Witches have taken its place, so they must clear them all to restore the Labyrinth. They commit to finishing the job together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Labyrinth is cleared, they gather at Mami&#039;s apartment for a chocolate party where Nagisa officially gives Mami the cake. They play poker with chocolate coins to decide how to share the remaining half, and Mami wins, but she divides the cake equally among all six. Everyone agrees it is the best cake in the universe. Nagisa thanks Mami, and Mami welcomes her warmly, calling her a little chocolatier and a lovely new addition to their circle of friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Kamihama, that night, Tsukuyo finds Rena praying at the Chuo Ward radio tower, having both read an online article claiming that twenty minutes of prayer there ensures successful apologies to loved ones. Tsukuyo confesses she hurt her twin sister Tsukasa by rejecting their Valentine&#039;s plans after failing at homemade chocolate, while Rena admits she snapped at Kaede and claimed she had no chocolate for her after Kaede had given her some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The 14th Day Where I Can&#039;t Be Honest]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their conversation is interrupted when Tsukasa and Kaede suddenly appear, having anticipated their partners would come here to apologize. Tsukasa assures Tsukuyo she was not upset and would treasure any chocolate from her, urging her to be easier on herself. Kaede forgives Rena and asks simply for her to be more honest. Together, the two pairs exchange Valentine&#039;s wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany===&lt;br /&gt;
* Walpurgisnacht&#039;s attack on Kamihama City caused massive damage to Chuo Ward, which the public believes was a natural disaster. Only Magical Girls know the truth and privately, Mitama reflects that the victory gave her hope, but she wonders if the destruction she once wished for can be defied.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0008 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after Walpurgisnacht, Mitama realizes Doyle has not visited her shop and the last saw him the day before Walpurgisnacht. She assumes the storm made him too scared to go out, so she decides to close her shop and search for him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama looks around the vacant land near her shop and a girl named Ritsumi offers to help. Ritsumi’s cat Arthur ran away before, so she knows where cats hide. They search but find nothing and Ritsumi says Arthur now lives with her grandpa. Mitama realizes Ritsumi is the daughter of the neighbor who owns Arthur and Mitama had mistaken Arthur for Doyle and that Ritsumi has never actually seen Doyle. They end the day without clues and Mitama sends a message to the Magical Girls’ group chat asking if anyone has seen a white tabby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama knocks on the neighbor’s door and Ritsumi’s mother answers. She explains that Arthur was sent away two weeks ago to Ritsumi’s grandpa. Mitama realizes that no one knows where Doyle came from. Ritsumi’s mother promises to keep an eye out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana, Asuka, and others from Mizuna Girls’ Academy saw Mitama’s group chat post and they arrive to help. More volunteers soon arrive: Kaede, Kako, Rena, Konoha’s team, and others. They split up to cover Shinsei Ward and Mitama notes that no one else has ever seen Doyle. Konoha says she never saw a cat at Mitama’s shop. Rena also asks for a photo, but Mitama has none.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds Ritsumi near the bus stop and they search door to door. No one in the neighborhood has seen a white tabby kitten either. Ritsumi says she has read all “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” books and that her favorite is “Invisible Epiphany,” about a detective searching for a lost child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko meets Mitama alone. Momoko says she never saw Doyle and neither did Tsukasa or the other girls. Mitama remembers talking to Doyle in front of them, but they saw no cat ither. Momoko suggests a Rumor is involved, as all Rumors disappeared after the fight with the Magius, except the Eternal Sakura. Coincidentally, Doyle disappeared at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls Nemu, who is still in the hospital and Nemu explains that Doyle was part of the Rumor of the Cat Detective. The Rumor possesses detective novel lovers, detects signs of a case, gets the detective involved, and guarantees a solution. Nemu explains she erased almost all Rumors, including this one. Mitama thinks Doyle disappeared because the Rumor was destroyed and she had solved four cases with Doyle’s help, yet the fifth never began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama re-reads her case files and each one has an opening paragraph she does not remember writing. The first case file hints at Hanna Sarasa. The second hints at Tsukasa. The third and fourth also name the culprits. Mitama realizes Doyle left those hints, and Nemu says the Rumor did not cause incidents, only detected them, so those incidents would have happened anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0009 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Kamihama slowly returns to order. Mitama notes that she cannot rely on Doyle anymore and she hopes she does not get any new cases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui and the Eternal Sakura visit Mitama to deliver a lampshade from Yachiyo. Ui says a girl from her school has gone missing and Mitama is shocked to learn the girl is Ritsumi, who did not come home after school yesterday and the police are investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama goes to the bus stop near her shop and finds Ritsumi’s mother. The mother says Ritsumi likely went to Hokuyo Ward to see her grandpa and Arthur. Ritsumi’s parents are separated and her father lives with his parents in Hokuyo Ward. The mother believes Ritsumi wanted to visit them, but the bus route to Hokuyo was suspended after the disaster but has resumed, bypassing Chuo Ward. Soon, Himika calls Mitama. Himika saw a girl matching Ritsumi’s description waiting at the Shinsei Ward bus stop yesterday, reading a book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi arrive and Momoko explains she has been investigating at school. Ritsumi transferred to Kamihama University Affiliated School six months ago after her parents separated and she moved into the building next to Mitama’s shop. Momoko explains Arthur went to live with her father in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo Ward. Mitama realizes the conflicting information: Arthur was first in Chuo Ward, then evacuated to the grandpa’s house in Hokuyo after the disaster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Satomi Medical Center, Nemu discusses the case with Eternal Sakura. Nemu recalls the hidden hints in Mitama’s case files. The last words of each hint spell “Lost Through Time Eternal,” which is the title of volume 12 of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” In that story, a girl runs away to her old home. Nemu deduces that Ritsumi went to her old apartment in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo. She likely got off at the nearest bus stop and walked into the restricted zone, then she had an accident.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Momoko, and Kanagi search the area near the old apartment and they hear a voice. Ritsumi had fallen into an old underground passage and sprained her ankle. She lost track of time and had no phone. Mitama explains she remembered the Doyle book and Ritsumi admits she was copying the girl in the story as she wanted to see the area where she grew up. The three quickly rescue her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ritsumi is taken to a hospital and also discharged quickly. Her parents agree to let her visit both of them and Arthur whenever she likes. Mitama reflects that Doyle gave her confidence and the city she cursed is still standing, so she dares to believe in hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Momoko finally holds the Coordinator Thank-You Party that was postponed earlier and Rena and Kaede thank Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui reads &amp;quot;The Happy Prince&amp;quot; and reflects on her uncertain purpose as a Magical Girl. While walking, she stops Kyubey from contracting a girl outside Kamihama, explaining she cannot let anyone else suffer the fate of becoming a Witch. When Kyubey asks what he should do instead, she has no answer. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia tells Ui she is overthinking things and should focus on her upcoming combat test. Iroha and Yachiyo serve dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno gives Ui an enthusiastic pep talk for her live combat test. To remain in Kamihama, Ui must detect and eliminate a Witch alone—the same test Yachiyo gave Iroha when she first arrived. Yachiyo admits the test may be unfair and offers to let Ui choose a partner. With Iroha busy helping Kanagi, Ui chooses Momoko. They depart together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui struggles to sense the Witch&#039;s magic, so they search Mizuna Ward where young women gather. They encounter a Familiar and follow it to a Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After defeating it, Felicia suddenly appears, attacks them, and runs away. Tsuruno gives chase and tackles her. Felicia&#039;s oblivion magic has erased their memory of the Familiar&#039;s pattern, so they cannot track the Witch. Momoko requests a pause, but Yachiyo refuses, stating unexpected events happen in real combat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia admits she interfered because she is jealous that Ui receives everyone&#039;s attention while she struggled alone as a mercenary. Yachiyo explains that Felicia&#039;s past does not justify making others unhappy. Meanwhile, Ui cheers up after eating crepes with Momoko and resolves to continue. As sunset approaches, they search Sakae Ward but find nothing. Yachiyo offers to bring a Familiar for them to retrack, but it disappears before they arrive. Ui suggests checking Hokuyo Ward on a hunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Hokuyo Ward, Ui senses a different Witch&#039;s magical reaction. They follow Witch-kissed people up a mountain toward a labyrinth. At Yachiyo&#039;s house, the others realize Ui failed the test since Yachiyo had to eliminate the original Witch herself, though Yachiyo will allow a retake. They notice Felicia smiling and suspect she interfered again. Rena confesses she helped Felicia erase the hint because she understood Felicia&#039;s jealousy. Tsuruno says the only person who deserves an apology is Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the mountain, Ui and Momoko enter the Witch&#039;s barrier against Momoko&#039;s better judgment. They fight through Familiars but become trapped and cannot escape. The Witch overwhelms them. Yachiyo and the others arrive and join the fight, but Familiars overwhelm them too. Iroha arrives at the last moment to defend Ui. Ui proposes using her ability to harvest impurities, purifying everyone&#039;s Soul Gems so they can fight at full strength. She will temporarily become a Witch, but the Doppel system will contain it. She absorbs the impurities, and the others destroy the Witch while Ui struggles with the darkness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui unleashes her Doppel and meets her Doppel self, who accuses her of wanting punishment and being jealous of others while trapped in the hospital. Ui nearly agrees to let the Doppel consume her but refuses, recognizing it as the easy way out. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words about taking responsibility and confronting the situation honestly. She accepts her wrongs and her true feelings, realizing this difficult path will bring true happiness. The Doppel admits she is right. Iroha wakes Ui at Mitama&#039;s clinic, where she has been unconscious for some time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama checks on Ui after her first Doppel release. Felicia apologizes for her interference and says she thinks Ui is cool. Rena also apologizes for helping Felicia. Ui accepts their apologies and compliments them both, asking Felicia to teach her things. Rena and Felicia feel terrible for how they treated someone so kind. Later that evening at Yachiyo&#039;s house, everyone celebrates Ui passing her test—though she did not defeat the assigned Witch, she tracked a Witch, stayed calm, used her intelligence, and performed better than expected. Ui tells Iroha she now knows what she wants to do as a Magical Girl. Iroha decides to work with other Kamihama Magical Girls to find a way to free them all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui and Iroha encounter Kyubey outside Kamihama attempting another contract and stop him. Kyubey asks what their goal is. They explain they plan to fight and find a way to coexist with Kyubey—if they can expand Kamihama&#039;s miracle globally, Magical Girls can live happily while providing the energy Kyubey needs. Kyubey welcomes the idea if it avoids conflict but warns that Magical Girls worldwide are not as unified as those in Kamihama. Ui wonders how much happiness she can give to the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tart / Darc Magica===&lt;br /&gt;
* Through Minou&#039;s spell from 15th-century France, Ui is pulled into the past, with her phone acting as her Soul Gem and Blank Prophecy, with the power to restore the past&#039;s real history.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rebel of a Dawnless Land]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning from the past, Ui finds herself in an antique store, still surrounded by magic bubbles though no memory of what occured. On the floor are the two candles and the old book. She feels they are important but cannot remember why, so she puts them on store shelves before falling asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui wakes up at Mikazuki Villa. Her phone rings with a text of Nemu asking if she knows any charms, as Mitama has been really into them lately. Ui says she knows a charm for good dreams requiring red and blue candles. Nemu asks where she heard about it and Ui isn&#039;t sure but says it was in 15th-century France. Nemu is fascinated and promises to research it. Later, Ui scrolls through her phone and finds a photo she doesn&#039;t recognize with girls she doesn&#039;t know. She begins crying without understanding why and Iroha finds her and hugs her tightly. Suddenly Ui remembers Darc&#039;s final words. She turns to her sister and tells her, &amp;quot;Let&#039;s have a wonderful future together.&amp;quot; Iroha agrees. Ui calms down and heads home to prepare for a slumber party with Nemu and Touka. Iroha, running errands, decides to stop by Mitama&#039;s place afterward. Mitama greets her warmly, mentioning she just learned an interesting little charm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That day, Iroha visits Mitama, who gives her and Yachiyo antique candles for a sweet dream spell. That night, they light the candles and drift off to sleep together, where they&#039;re pulled into the nightmare of Jeanne d&#039;Arc in April 29th, 1429.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Maiden of Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next morning, Yachiyo reveals she had the same dream. They call Mitama, who is surprised they had nightmares instead of sweet dreams. They decide to try the candles again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Kamihama plunged into darkness and all non-Magical Girls vanished. Their Soul Gems have consumed magic in the real world despite no injuries. Realizing the dream affects reality, they decide to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a lot of fighting, they awaken and prepare for the final battle. In this journey they discover that they&#039;d been traveling to Darc&#039;s dream, and if Darc despairs completely, she will turn into a Witch and trigger a catastrophe affecting the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Felicia and Sana gone and Kamihama empty. Breaking into Mitama&#039;s shop, they find a grimoire revealing the candles were made with Darc&#039;s hair, creating a connection to her dream. They return with the book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They finally awaken at Mikazuki Villa to sunshine and normalcy. Felicia demands steak for dinner. Consulting a history book, they read that on May 7th, 1429, Jeanne d&#039;Arc fought at Tourelles after waking from a dream. The battle was fierce but Orléans was liberated. Iroha notices a portrait in the book showing them in their Magical Girl outfits standing beside Jeanne d&#039;Arc.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at Mitama&#039;s shop, Yachiyo recounts everything. Mitama mentions the spell became widespread in France during Jeanne d&#039;Arc&#039;s era. Iroha realizes Melissa must have spread it after learning it from them in the dream. The use of red and blue candles was too specific to be coincidence. Iroha&#039;s head spins trying to figure out where the spell originated. Yachiyo notes the grimoire never mentioned the candle setup, so the spell just circled around and around. They will never know for certain whether they changed history or were always part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* During their slumber party, Ui, Touka, and Nemu encounter a massive witch, [[Crépuscule de La Reine]]. Touka and Nemu vanish, leaving Ui and Sakurako to face it alone. The witch is unaffected by their attacks and disappears, taking Ui with it into 15th-century France once more, this time in the realm of Purgatory which Minou created. With Pernelle&#039;s help, Ui is soon able to also summon Iroha and Yachiyo there as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;endofalegendthelimitsoflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - End of a Legend, the Limits of Light]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Lil&#039; Kyubey and Ui&#039;s phone as the Blank Prophecy are pulled as &amp;quot;If Factors&amp;quot; into the world of Holy Maiden Academy, which Minou created and maintained for six hundred years after being given a Philosopher&#039;s Stone after Isabeau&#039;s death. However, after her plans are thwarted by the &amp;quot;what if&amp;quot; version of Melissa, he returns and wakes in the real world, where Iroha and Ui assure him it was just a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;counc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Masked Student Council Strikes Back]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Voices from Beyond, Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a year after Voices from Beyond, Part 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With peace restored in Kamihama, Yachiyo visits a flower shop to buy flowers for Mel&#039;s grave, still haunted by never defeating Mel&#039;s Witch. She unexpectedly encounters Mifuyu and Mel&#039;s mother, who reassures them Mel was happy because of their love. Walking toward the cemetery, Yachiyo and Mifuyu are engulfed by the barrier of the Witch Etteilla—Mel&#039;s Witch. They struggle against both the Witch and their own fears: Mifuyu fears defeating it means forgetting Mel, while Yachiyo fears losing anyone else. Remembering the ghosts&#039; encouragement, Yachiyo convinces Mifuyu they must move forward because Mel and Kanae wanted them to. They defeat the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mel&#039;s grave, they place flowers and the Grief Seed from the Witch, hoping her soul has finally found peace. They silently promise to keep moving forward. Mifuyu wonders if Mel&#039;s Witch appeared to give them a push, and they smile, repeating Mel&#039;s favorite phrase: all things happen when they must. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to see the belongings Mel and Kanae left behind, and Mifuyu gladly accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One weekend, Rui ropes Seira into attending Kamiket, a convention for sharing and selling fan-made media in Kamihama. The two became close friends after discovering they are both Magical Girls, and because Seira is the only one who knows about Rui&#039;s embarrassing secret: a heavy case of chuuni-byo. Rui agreed to bring Seira on the condition that only the two of them would go, ensuring nobody else discovered her secret.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the day of the convention, Rui cannot contain her excitement and slips into character, declaring the convention her sanctuary and the catalog guidebook as Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Her main objective is to purchase the newest installment of her favorite indie game series and meet its creator, MacQueen. On the way to the booth, she accidentally bumps into a stranger who seems irritated about someone not being at the convention yet. When she arrives, the booth attendants inform her that someone has been using counterfeit money, and worse, MacQueen himself is missing. Rui&#039;s imagination immediately conjures a grand conspiracy, but the criminal is soon caught and MacQueen calls to say he overslept. Relieved, Rui takes a photo with the booth girls, but as the picture is taken, chills run down her spine as she senses someone glaring at her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rui dismisses it as her imagination and continues exploring with Seira. Remembering the booth numbers hit by counterfeit money, she realizes they spell the chemical formula for Ricin, a lethal poison. Her imagination ignites again, convincing her that the real attack will come through poisoned food from outside vendors. She rushes them outside to stop the attack, but everyone seems fine, and her Magical Girl ability, which lets her see how close someone is to death, reveals nobody is in danger. Ashamed, she realizes her imagination finally got the best of her and apologizes to Seira. They decide to get lunch, and Rui opens her laptop to install her new game. The screen is black, and in the reflection she sees her own face. Her magic reveals she herself is now close to death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Remembering the chills from earlier, Rui checks the photo and finds the man from earlier glaring at her in the background. She rushes back to the booth to warn the girls, who recognize the man as Miranda, a popular content creator. As they discuss this, MacQueen finally arrives, and Rui sees he is the closest to death&#039;s door, with Miranda also marked. She confronts Miranda, who confesses he intended to kill MacQueen over an alternate ending in the latest game that suggested his favorite sub-heroine may have had a former lover. He pulls out a gun he secretly printed with a smuggled 3D printer. Just as he is about to shoot, Rui shows him a cutscene on her laptop, which is the second part of the alternate ending, unlocked only after clearing the entire game, revealing the sub-heroine fabricated the story to protect the user character. Miranda realizes his mistake and surrenders to security. After the incident, Seira asks if Rui was scared. Rui reveals she always wears chainmail under her clothes and also carried a heavy blunt object for protection, the magically enhanced Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Seira decides to pretend she did not hear that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 11:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura writes in her diary as she and her friends take an air-conditioned express train to the beach for summer vacation. They buy ice cream and enjoy the ride.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Beachside Bonds]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls arrive at their destination, a seaside inn run by Sayaka&#039;s relatives who had a sudden cancellation. Sayaka complains about the heat as they walk to the inn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Sayaka&#039;s aunt shows them to their rooms and warns them not to get lost in the surrounding forest. Outside, two young girls who live at the inn approach Madoka. They ask if she knows someone named Kei, who is looking for someone named Yu. They warn Madoka not to talk to Kei and that she should hold still if Kei enters her room. The girls then leave. Homura suggests Kei might be a cat. They agree to tell the others as Kyoko passes by already in her swimsuit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, the girls play volleyball. Mami spikes the ball hard and hits Homura in the face. They stop the game and Mami frets over Homura. Madoka suggests they rest in the shade while Mami buys something cold. Madoka then suggests they collect pine cones from nearby trees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the forest, a cat appears and leads them deeper into the trees. It guides them to a small shrine, where Homura finds an old notebook. She reads entries from April 20, June 24, August 3, and August 6, all detailing the author&#039;s complicated feelings for someone named Kei. Madoka tells her to put it back without reading further. When they turn around, the cat is gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the beach, Sayaka shares a rumor from the beach house: a girl fell off a nearby cliff years ago and died, and her spirit is reportedly seen rising from the ocean between two and three a.m. Mami shrieks in fear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Kyoko teases Mami about being scared. The conversation turns to ghosts and Kyoko compares them to how normal people might perceive Witches. Madoka feels relieved and tells Sayaka about the twin girls. Sayaka plans to ask them about any pets later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After an Italian dinner, the girls light fireworks on the beach. Kyoko bumps into Hinano Miyako, who doesn&#039;t recognize her but does recognize her Soul Gem ring. Ren Isuzu finds Hinano, followed by Emiri Kisaki and Rika Ayano. The groups combine for fireworks. Emiri admits she used a little magic to help everyone relax, explaining why Kyoko had strange memories of Mami. Kyoko chases Sayaka around the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Heading back to the inn, Sayaka finds her twin cousins lining up stones. They claim the stones protect against Kei entering. They say Kei would hate Sayaka the most because she is nosy, then leave. In her diary, Homura writes that the girls talked until they all fell asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 12&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura&#039;s diary entry describes a dream belonging to someone else. In the dream, the narrator waits for her friend Yusa Yumeno, who arrives with popsicles. The narrator complains that Yusa doesn&#039;t need to come every day, but Yusa insists she can only be her real self around her friend. The narrator believes identity is shaped by others&#039; perceptions. She reveals she may not take college exams due to family obligations and urges Yusa to attend her chosen school, comparing herself to a weed and Yusa to a flower growing in a different direction. The narrator comes home to another hateful letter from classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes in a cold sweat, unable to move. The room smells strongly of seaweed. She sees a pitch-black human shadow sitting between Mami and Sayaka&#039;s futons. It examines their faces, grumbling &amp;quot;wrong, wrong, all wrong.&amp;quot; As it moves toward Madoka, Homura struggles to move. The shadow stops and stares at her, asking &amp;quot;You can see me?&amp;quot; Homura screams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others wake. Sayaka notices the strange smell. Kyoko goes back to sleep. Mami offers water and Homura asks if someone entered the room. They saw no one. Sayaka apologizes for the scary stories. Mami suggests thinking about tomorrow&#039;s fun. Madoka offers to hold Homura&#039;s hand, which she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes early, the ocean scent still strong. She finds the twin girls outside. They ask if she met Kei. Homura asks what Kei is. The girls explain Kei looks like a human made of shadow without facial features, smells of the sea, and emerges from the ocean at night to look for her friend Yu. They repeat that she should do nothing and never talk to her. They notice their protective stones scattered and go to reline them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura suspects this might be a Rumor. She returns to the forest shrine and finds the notebook on the shrine&#039;s lattice door, despite having placed it underneath. She reads entries from May 2, May 20, June 12, and June 26, all detailing the author Yu&#039;s complicated, obsessive feelings for Kei. She replaces the notebook, feeling guilty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Homura recalls more diary entries: July 2 describes Yu placing hands on Kei&#039;s neck as if to strangle her; July 5 compares Kei&#039;s neck to a lizard she killed; July 15 describes Kei now finding Yu after school; July 20 states they should never have met and that both wear bandages to hide bruises on their necks. Madoka points out a small bruise on Homura&#039;s neck.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls begin walking to an aquarium along the coast. Kyoko complains about the distance and suggests fishing instead. Sayaka refuses, traumatized by a recent fishing tournament incident in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the aquarium, they eat fish burgers, marvel at jellyfish, and watch a dolphin and seal show. They leave at sunset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls walk to a cape to watch the sunset. Sayaka warns them not to get too close to the edge, referencing the girl who died. Homura smells flowers and Mami identifies night-blooming jasmine nearby. The scent reminds Homura of her dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recalls another diary entry: August 1 describes Yu feeling happy hearing Kei&#039;s wish despite blaming herself; August 12 states their plan is set for tomorrow, with Yu hoping something will make Kei reconsider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the cape, Kyoko admits feeling down because a cape is the end of the road with nothing after. Mami says it&#039;s more important they could talk again like they used to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary about the difference between the self you know and the self others perceive. She asks Madoka what kind of person she thinks Homura is. Madoka calls her a dear friend who works hard. Homura worries that revealing her time-traveling truth would change this perception. After dinner, the girls settle in for sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 13:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura dreams again of Kei and Yu. Kei calls out that the promised day is here. She has dressed up and brought a ribbon to tie them together. Yu questions if this is right. Kei insists her life belongs only to Yu. They vow: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; They promise to kill each other for every reincarnation as proof of who they are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A voice calls Homura to wake. She awakens to find Madoka standing with eyes closed, enveloped in shadow. Madoka snaps her eyes open and proclaims repeatedly &amp;quot;I got in.&amp;quot; She calls out for Yu, saying the promised day is finally here. Madoka runs into the forest toward the cliff. Homura chases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the cape, everything grows dark. Madoka, possessed by Kei&#039;s spirit, tells Homura that the drowned Chinese girl&#039;s body washed up here and she is looking for her father&#039;s ship. Homura urges her to chase after the girl to escape, but Kei claims Homura will kill her as soon as they leave. Homura transforms and attempts to freeze time but finds her magic has no effect in this place where time does not flow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren&#039;s voice calls out. She informs Homura that the others are searching for them, but only Ren could traverse into this abyss. Ren suggests this might be similar to her own magic rather than a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kei admits she tried possessing Homura but could not, so she settled for Madoka. She explains she is a faint memory staining the cliffside. The drowned girl&#039;s spirit helped her recall all her memories clearly. She describes how she and Yu bound themselves together and jumped into the ocean, but the waves pulled them apart. Kei died; Yu survived. Kei wants to kill Yu so they can kill each other throughout eternity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura refuses to stay in the abyss with Madoka. Kei transforms Madoka into her magical girl state and attacks. Ren blocks the blow and tries to use her magic to draw out the possession. Homura calls out the vow Kei and Yu made, distracting Kei. Ren attempts her magic but the ghost of the drowned Chinese girl deflects it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren realizes the ghost girl is not a girl but the root cause: the Witch Paola. The barrier forms and Homura fights the Witch alone while Ren hurries to catch up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier dissipates and Homura faces the possessed Madoka on the cape. Kei accuses Homura of killing her. Homura tells her to shut up and leave their lives alone. Kei explains she will soon fade if Yu is not there. She begs Homura to kill Yu if she ever meets her, before her soul breaks and she becomes like the Witch. She begs Homura to keep this promise no matter where they meet or how many worlds Homura visits. Kei then relinquishes Madoka&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren arrives, relieved they are safe. Madoka wakes with no memory, thinking she simply tossed and turned. The other girls find them and celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary, describing the events as too strange to comprehend. She reflects on Kyubey&#039;s use of the term &amp;quot;soul&amp;quot; and questions what a soul truly is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka sighs that even on vacation they dealt with a Witch. Kyoko thinks she&#039;s getting rusty. Mami suggests Homura was right about a Witch mixing with a Rumor. Madoka telepathically tells them to quiet down since Homura is asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her final dream, Homura sees Yu wake in a hospital on an unknown date. Kei died. Their bruises were dismissed. Yu returned to school where others used her grief as their own. Unable to bear going on without Kei, she nearly threw herself off the cliff again. All she holds onto is their final words: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; But if the Yu that died that day is gone, who is the girl writing now? An image of Kyubey flashes on the screen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Deep in the dream, Homura recalls Kei&#039;s plea on the cliff. But Homura never agreed or promised anything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summer Treasures===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko wakes to find Mitama and Ui standing over her, learning they were washed ashore and rescue will arrive in two days. Mitama assigns tasks: shelter, bamboo, water, plants, and fishing. Before Kyoko leaves, Mitama asks her to transform, revealing she adjusted Kyoko&#039;s Soul Gem while she was unconscious to give her a Magical Girl swimsuit that allows her to swim. Mitama promises the transformation is reversible but looks forlorn, warning that if Kyoko does not have fun on the island, she might forget how to undo it. Kyoko reluctantly agrees to cooperate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer Treasures]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko discovers she can swim and catches plenty of fish. While gathering firewood, she finds a piece of wood with the words &amp;quot;water&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;bottom&amp;quot; written on it and tosses it onto the pile. Back at camp, Mitama and Karin show her a treasure map they found. Mitama has built a large shelter, and Karin started a fire using skills from a manga. Kyoko helps Kanagi and Ui carry supplies back from the stream. When Mitama offers to cook, Kyoko and Kanagi immediately stop her. Kyoko distracts Mitama with the treasure map and cooks dinner instead, with Ui&#039;s help. The group enjoys the meal together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 2 on the deserted island and Mitama decides they will go treasure hunting. The group examines the map and the wooden tablet Kyoko unknowingly gathered for firewood, which tells of a fallen warrior&#039;s treasure hidden on the island. They follow directions to a clearing but find nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui falls into a pitfall, and Karin follows. Kyoko pulls them out with a vine, and they discover another tablet at the bottom. Kyoko realizes the piece of wood she threw into the campfire was likely one of the tablets, but she keeps quiet, hoping to make the group give up without upsetting Mitama. Mitama triggers a trap and is caught hanging from a tree. The group frees her, but everyone wants to continue despite Kyoko&#039;s warnings. Kyoko claims they are being followed, hoping to blame the missing tablet on someone else, but the stalker turns out to be a tabby kitten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group reaches a damaged clue they cannot read. Mitama deduces the final location is the waterfall, but they find nothing. Mitama stares at Kyoko, suggesting the tablet might have been lost. Kyoko panics internally. She blasts part of the riverbed, revealing a hidden underwater path she remembered from the burned tablet&#039;s words. Kanagi scouts and reports a cave at the end. Karin and Ui stay behind while Kyoko, Mitama, and Kanagi swim through using guide vines.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the cave, they endure swarms of mosquitoes until Mitama drives them away. At the back, they find a treasure box. Kyoko opens it carefully. Inside is a letter revealing the treasure hunt was a promotional stunt for the Sayu-Sayu Mizuna Tourism Project, abandoned due to mosquitoes and safety concerns. They left a paper with Sayu-Sayu&#039;s sword designs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko hides the truth and leads the group to a cliff with a stunning sunset view. Everyone agrees it is a rare treasure. Kyoko admits she burned one of the tablets for firewood. Mitama apologizes for pressuring her and promises to change her back. The group returns late at night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, the helicopter arrives. Iroha calls down to them. As they prepare to leave, the kitten runs off, and the group chases it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few weeks later. Sayuki, Ria, Mayu, her manager, and producer arrive on the same island to film a special. They find the bamboo house and campfire remains. The kitten appears, followed by Kyoko chasing it. Ui and Karin catch up, and Karin recognizes Sayuki as Sayu-Sayu. Kyoko realizes this is the idol behind the fake treasure hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Kanagi, and Iroha arrive. Sayuki greets Mitama warmly. Telepathically, Kyoko warns Mitama about Sayuki&#039;s connection to the treasure hunt. Mitama cryptically tells her to leave it. Karin and Ui want to stay and watch the filming. Sayuki offers to let them return on her boat. She explains her special involves a survival quiz using the Kaigiri sword. Ui and Karin are excited. Mitama and Kyoko exchange a look, hoping to preserve Ui&#039;s good memories without revealing the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Filming begins. They cheer from the sidelines. Later, they all pile onto the boat together, many exhausted and falling asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Late July before summer vacation, Ui and Sakurako go shopping. Ui buys a picture diary and mentions wanting to swim with fish in a place like the Dragon Palace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Sakurako consults Ryo, then works with Touka, Nemu, Ryo, and Ikumi to build the Uwasa Aquarium, Dragon Palace within her Rumor, incorporating elements for everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the aquarium event, Touka and Nemu guide Iroha, Ui, Yachiyo, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia to the space. Everyone enjoys swimming, themed attractions, and food tailored to their interests. Sakurako warns them never to open the Treasure Casket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia opens the box, releasing a malice entity that takes Sakura&#039;s form. Normal attacks fail. The group cheers, empowering Sakurako to destroy it. Ryo reveals they planned this interactive show.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end, Sakurako creates cherry blossom petals despite being told not to overexert herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sakurako wakes in Iroha&#039;s room after collapsing from magic overexertion. Nemu and Touka explain Uwasa can die. Ui tearfully asks her to take better care. Sakurako promises to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Iroha suggests a beach trip. Touka, Nemu, and Ui enthusiastically plan it. Sakurako notices the aquarium has been forgotten in their conversation and grows quiet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day Sakurako returns to the empty aquarium. Reflecting on Nemu&#039;s words, she spirals into fear that she will die, be forgotten, and disappear. She hides.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha searches for her. Ryo and Ikumi arrive later. Ryo senses she is there and uses a tactic, claiming he will stop looking and eventually forget her. Sakurako emerges crying, begging not to be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo shows her Ui&#039;s picture diary, which dedicates many pages to the aquarium day. Sakurako realizes memories are what she can leave behind and agrees to return home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Sakurako returns and explains she now understands that as long as memories remain, she will not be forgotten. She asks to host the aquarium again for more Magical Girls. With promises to monitor her health and using Shizuku&#039;s teleportation to hide the location, the others agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, various Magical Girls arrive and enjoy the aquarium. Rena notices the Treasure Casket. Sakurako explains it contains stored memories she hopes someone will vividly recall when she is gone, so she will not be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kamihama in a Circle===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren arrive in a new ward, with Rika frustrated about oversleeping. They notice another Magical Girl nearby. Elsewhere, Konomi arrives alone while Kako declines to participate due to her team&#039;s policy. Manaka scolds Ria for being late because of her hair. Masara, Kokoro, and Aimi gather at a park, with Kokoro convincing Masara to participate. Reira, Mito, and Seika discuss the upcoming gathering of Magical Girls who have fought together before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Kamihama in a Circle]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo finish chores that had been delayed by Felicia&#039;s laundry mishap. They reflect on everything that has happened since Iroha came to Kamihama searching for Ui—the investigations, battles with the Wings of Magius, the automatic purification system, and the truth about Witches spreading. Despite the chaos, things have begun to settle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo rush to the park, worried about being late. Tsuruno meets them and playfully scolds them before carrying them the rest of the way. Iroha reflects on meeting Tsuruno while investigating Uwasas, and how their bonds grew stronger through battling together. She notes that everyone at Mikazuki Villa has decided to support one another.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group stops at a convenience store. Felicia appears, having visited Ayame first. Konoha and Hazuki are not coming to the gathering, but Yachiyo notes they have helped in the past. Felicia asks for chocolate. Iroha reflects on first meeting Felicia when she was a violent mercenary, and how living together has changed them both. She notes that Yachiyo has cared for Felicia more than anyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group takes a shortcut through a back alley. They find Sana hiding, having spotted Kaede&#039;s cat Gorojiro. Sana explains she was patrolling for dangerous Magical Girls while staying hidden. Iroha thanks her but assures her she can relax today. They invite her to join them. Iroha reflects on sympathizing with Sana&#039;s isolation and how Mikazuki Villa became an important place for them all. Yachiyo notes that Sana, once invisible to everyone but Magical Girls, is gradually finding her place in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui, Touka, and Nemu meet the group. They have visited their old hospital to update the doctors and nurses who cared for them. Touka discusses her research on connecting universes, admitting practical application remains difficult but the possibility exists. Iroha reflects on how it still feels like a dream to see the three of them together. Yachiyo notes that while their past methods were wrong, their purpose of liberating Magical Girls was not, and that purpose continues now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, Rena, and Kaede join them, having stopped at a retro arcade where they won a stuffed animal together despite their usual arguing. Touka reveals a small possibility for connecting universes has been found, using the Endless Mirrors. Iroha reflects on first meeting Momoko and Kaede, and now sharing lunches with Rena. Yachiyo notes the three have strong bonds as a team and helped convince other Magical Girls after the truth about witches spread.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama joins, having taken a break from her shop to visit Kanagi. Tsuruno asks about using Mirrors to connect to other universes. Mitama confirms she and Kanagi have accompanied Touka and Nemu into the Mirrors. Nemu explains they were only experimenting with precautions. Touka insists she has plans if things go wrong. Mitama notes Mirrors has become more complex and will need more entrances. Iroha reflects on meeting Kanagi relatively recently and how they now work together despite past rivalry. She also thinks of Mitama&#039;s help and her surprising wish, but notes the city is moving forward. She wants to hold hands with more people and form a circle together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** From a distance, Iroha and Yachiyo watch Magical Girls gathering at the park. Felicia attempts to cure Iroha&#039;s nerves by hitting her, claiming Tsuruno said it would help. Tsuruno quickly corrects her. Hinano arrives, reporting on her task regarding Alina. Karin, who attends school with Alina, explains Alina is still missing and she does not know where she is. Iroha promises they will find her together. Mifuyu arrives with the Amane twins, apologizing for being late. Yachiyo thanks Mifuyu. Iroha reflects that a new step is beginning. Yachiyo notes her story started moving when Mifuyu disappeared, while Iroha&#039;s began with strange dreams. They have connected with so many Magical Girls. One chapter has ended and a new one is about to begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha addresses the gathered Magical Girls, thanking them for coming. She reflects on fighting together against powerful Witches and sharing knowledge about their fate. Yachiyo notes they started from individual concerns, fought Uwasas and the Wings of Magius, and gained something greater in return. Their purpose is now the same as their former enemies: the liberation of Magical Girls. They seek coexistence with Kyubey without sacrificing themselves. Iroha acknowledges not everyone could participate, but all have agreed to help each other. Yachiyo admits skepticism is natural. Iroha declares that by expanding the automatic purification system across Kamihama, they can welcome liberation and coexist with Kyubey. Yachiyo announces they will work together under a new name starting today.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha begins to declare their new name but is interrupted by a flash of light. Wings appear on her back, and Yachiyo also grows wings. Feathers fall across the park. Yachiyo recalls this phenomenon helped them against Walpurgisnacht. Iroha wonders if it is a blessing upon the Magical Girls of Kamihama holding hands. With this blessing, they declare again that the Magical Girls gathered here are allies who will support each other in hardship. They declare themselves the Kamihama Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the establishment of the Kamihama Magia Union, a celebration is held at Walnut&#039;s. During the party, Manaka receives a phone call and panics, announcing that Nemu has been kidnapped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A New Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group splits up to search nearby areas but finds nothing. Hinano eventually discovers Nemu held hostage by Black and White Feathers from outside Kamihama. Using Ryo and Ikumi to infiltrate, their cover is blown and they are surrounded. Sakurako jumps in to defend them as Iroha arrives with reinforcements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The lead Feather explains they kidnapped Nemu to convince the Magius to lead them again, as they do not know how to achieve liberation on their own. Iroha explains the Kamihama girls share their goals but reject their methods. Nemu and Touka ask the Feathers to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before they can respond, white feathers rain from the sky again, the same power that helped them defeat Walpurgisnacht returns, but this time it feels uncontrolled and dangerous. Touka explains her experiment partially worked, creating a wormhole to another world, but the interference may crush their world. Kanagi and Mitama fail to disable the device sending the signal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana sneaks Nemu to where the device was stationed, but the labyrinth is gone. Nemu enters the password anyway, but nothing happens. The world shakes and a voice urges them to close the gate. Iroha realizes the power is trying to help, not hurt them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo devises a plan: Ui will absorb the magic built up inside them, Touka will convert it, and Iroha will fire an arrow to close the gate. As the sun sets, they enact the plan and succeed. The feathers stop falling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks the Feathers to reconsider joining them. The lead Feather admits her stubbornness and rage, and Nemu and Touka apologize. The Feathers accept, becoming the first recruits to the union on the day it was established.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Late that night, the group gathers outside Walnut&#039;s. They discuss the voice they heard and the power from another universe. Touka throws a tantrum over everyone calling her experiment a failure, and her stress causes her to unleash her Doppel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, a mysterious magical girl observes and turns to report back to the Tokime Tribe. In another place, a different magical girl also observes and decides to report her findings. In a different location, Kagome Satori has found Iroha at last, promising to keep a record of their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tracks of Cherry Blossoms===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako reflects on her nature as an Uwasa created by Iroha and Nemu. Though her duty to bloom when the four girls reunited is now fulfilled, she continues attending school as Sakurako Hiiragi. When Ryo comments that she is like a god who will never change, Sakurako questions other Uwasa and learns from the Anonymous AI that they act according to their Rumor forever, never stopping and never changing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later during a Kamihama Magia Union meeting, Iroha proposes a cherry blossom viewing to help members connect. Touka objects to using the Eternal Sakura, wanting to preserve it as a secret shelter. Tsuruno suggests Sankyo&#039;s famous cherry blossom viewing spot instead. Touka challenges Sakurako to visit the Sankyo tree and judge its worthiness herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako visits the Sankyo cherry tree. While observing it, she meets an elderly man who has appreciated the tree for decades. He explains the tree has watched over people for over eighty years, since before the war. Sakurako realizes this tree has lived far longer than her zero-year existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at school, Hinano and Ryo find Sakurako still fixated on the tree. Ryo shares what she knows: the tree served as a disaster shelter in the Meiji era, and famous restaurants once served food there for foreign cherry blossom viewers. After school, Sakurako returns to the tree. The elderly man and his wife visit again. The wife gives her cherry blossom-scented cookies, and the man gives her a hand warmer. A girl jogging past stops to pray at the tree, explaining she sees it as a sacred place before tournaments.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako continues visiting. Manaka and Tsumugi stop by, and Sakurako gives them the cookies she cannot eat. Sakurako reflects on how this tree has watched over thousands of people for over a century while she was created to watch only four girls. She realizes for the first time that time is passing around her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later at Mikazuki Villa, Sakurako observes the four girls and Ui talking about her teacher. Sakurako concludes the Sankyo tree is worthy of hosting the cherry blossom viewing. She decides she needs to practice making it bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over the following days, Sakurako continues visiting the tree, growing closer to the elderly couple. She forgets about practicing blooming, more interested in talking with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the elderly man announces he will be hospitalized and they can no longer walk together. The woman explains she must care for him. The man reveals they kept walking because seeing Sakurako brought back fond memories of their belief in meeting a sakura spirit. Sakurako is left standing alone, realizing their time together has ended.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at the tree, Sakurako encounters the jogging disciple, who explains she is moving away and will soon leave the dojo. She then encounters Ui&#039;s teacher, who reveals she is being transferred to another school. Sakurako realizes that by the time the cherry blossoms bloom, all these people will be gone. She feels pain and fears that Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu will eventually disappear too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Ryo observes Sakurako&#039;s deteriorating state. A neighbor of the elderly couple approaches Sakurako and informs her there has been a passing in the family. Hinano later explains this means someone has died. Sakurako disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako asks Iroha and Yachiyo what to do when someone dies. Yachiyo explains about funerals and sending flowers as a last gift. Sakurako returns to the Sankyo tree and, using her power, makes it bloom for the first time, sending cherry blossoms into the sky for the grandfather. But she still aches from not saying goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and other Uwasa grow concerned, having heard rumors that when Sakurako makes cherry blossoms bloom, someone disappears. Sakurako concludes that if she lets the cherry blossoms bloom, the four girls might disappear. When Iroha confirms the cherry blossom viewing plans, Sakurako announces she will not let the tree bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo publishes the full Tracks of Cherry Blossoms article, detailing Sakurako&#039;s experiences. The girls read it and understand her association between blooming and parting. Yachiyo suggests teaching her that spring also brings new encounters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the picnic arrives. Iroha invites Sakurako, assuring her she does not need to make the tree bloom. Sakurako agrees to attend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the picnic, Asuka&#039;s disciple appears, explaining she came to let Sakurako know she is not sad about leaving. Ui&#039;s teacher arrives and tells Ui that her care will be passed on to the next teacher. Manaka debuts a new cherry blossom dessert, continuing the tradition in new form. Sakurako begins to understand that farewells are not always sad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the picnic, Sakurako remains at the tree. She admits she still cannot bring herself to make it bloom. Yachiyo tells her that wanting to see the couple again proves she has a heart. Sakurako despairs that Uwasa simply cease to exist. She buys one of Manaka&#039;s new desserts, hoping to give it to them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako waits at the tree daily, carrying the dessert. Rumors spread about the girl under the sakura tree. The girls grow concerned. Nemu warns that if Sakurako does not accept reality, she may destroy herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the time expires, the elderly couple suddenly appears. The grandfather was never dead. The passing was a relative. They had been away helping their daughter with a new baby. The woman explains they named their granddaughter Sakurako. Sakurako gives them the dessert and explains she now understands that encounters and goodbyes take many forms. She says she will not come regularly anymore but is grateful for their time together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo gives Sakurako a photograph of her with the elderly couple. Sakurako thanks her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Historical Research Club at Kosho School consists of three Magical Girls: president Mikura Komachi, her childhood friend Temari Kira, and underclassman Seira Mihono. When the club advisor informs them that without proof of accomplishments, next year&#039;s budget will not be approved, the trio decides to create a film based on a real Kamihama tragedy for the cultural festival. Mikura discovers a Taishō-era story about a romance between a disgraced Mizuna daughter named Ruri and a successful East-side businessman named Tsukihiko that ended in murder-suicide. Temari writes the script while Seira secures a Western mansion as a filming location. While scouting, they encounter a Witch and realize casting regular students would be impossible due to Magical Girl duties, so they use Coordinator Mitama Yakumo to recruit an all-Magical Girl cast including Ria Ami, Yukika Nanase, the Amane sisters, and Sakurako, an Uwasa created by Nemu Hiiragi. Mikura reluctantly agrees to play the male lead Tsukihiko, while Seira takes the role of Ruri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Filming begins at the actual mansion where the tragedy occurred, with Seira using her stage direction magic to create effects and the cast delivering startlingly accurate performances. Mikura discovers Tsukihiko&#039;s actual diary in the museum archives, revealing he genuinely loved Ruri and intended to break things off with his childhood friend. Temari secretly revises the ending to reflect this truth, working through the night until her Soul Gem tarnishes. Mikura cleanses her gem, and they lock the revised script away, keeping it hidden from Seira to make her performance more authentic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After filming wraps, strange rumors spread that the Historical Research Club is forming a new faction, and the affected Magical Girls begin acting as if possessed by their roles. This escalates when Kanagi Izumi and Yachiyo Nanami nearly fight over a perceived slight involving Riko. At Mitama&#039;s shop, Nemu Hiiragi explains the truth: Seira&#039;s stage direction magic immersed the cast, Mikura&#039;s magic, which restores lost things, reconstructed the historical personalities in the present, and Temari&#039;s kotodama magic caused them to follow her script. Their powers synergized to create a dangerously accurate reenactment. Nemu warns that the script&#039;s next events—Ruri&#039;s disappearance and the murder-suicide—may occur, and they realize Seira, possessed by Ruri, has vanished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Temari consults Kyubey, who reveals Ruri was a Magical Girl with the same kotodama magic who wished to live a storybook romance. When she realized her own novel&#039;s plot was manifesting as tragedy, she destroyed the manuscript to save Tsukihiko, but the act shattered her mind. Freed from the script&#039;s constraints, the couple&#039;s fate became unpredictable, and Ruri, unable to bear the fear of losing him, killed him and herself. Kyubey explains destroying the script will end the magic but damage Temari&#039;s psyche. Temari resolves to protect her friends without resorting to that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Seira, still possessed as Ruri, steals the diary copy and flees to Tsukihiko&#039;s mansion. Mikura and Temari pursue. At the mansion, Ruri prepares to atone by dying by her own hand. Mikura, wearing Tsukihiko&#039;s costume, dances with her as Tsukihiko&#039;s persona surfaces, steadying her. When Ruri moves to stab herself, Temari summons the others for backup, and they disarm her. Tsukihiko explains he could not stop her a century ago but succeeded this time. He and Ruri thank Temari—her script reached the hearts it was meant to—and they vanish. A fire destroys the original diary and all related documents, fulfilling Ruri&#039;s final wish to be forgotten. Mikura and Seira retain only fragments of the true story and agree to keep the tragedy of the two maladroit lovers a secret between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the club room, Seira panics that without evidence of their film, the Historical Research Club will be disbanded. They consider another project but have time until the cultural festival. Temari suggests they each find a home where they can rest easy, and Mikura replies she has already found hers: this provisional club room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ayaka and Shizuku are at a local café when Ayaka laments that many Halloween events in Kamihama were canceled due to damage in Chuo Ward. Wanting to do something to cheer up the city, Ayaka&#039;s eyes sparkle as Shizuku suggests she organize something herself, leading Ayaka to decide on a live comedy show. She asks Shizuku to be her partner, but Shizuku is unsure about the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ayaka meets Seika at her apartment, and Seika is happy to be Ayaka&#039;s comedy partner but asks about the logistics of broadcasting the show. Ayaka brushes off the practical concerns, insisting that the desire to make others smile is what truly matters, and Seika rises to the challenge, wanting to give back after years of Ayaka&#039;s comedy encouraging her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Ayaka and Seika form a manzai duo and practice daily into the evening, with Ayaka tutoring Seika on speaking louder and explaining the rhythm between the boke and tsukkomi roles. Seika struggles but keeps trying, at one point asking if she can use a whip against Ayaka, causing Shizuku to shake her head, but Ayaka insists manzai does not use props.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During one practice session, Shizuku chuckles at their serious expressions, and Ayaka decides she needs a fresh audience, spotting someone passing by and running off with Seika to practice on him. Shizuku watches them go, thinking she would have liked to help, but then hears a shout and goes to investigate, discovering the stranger is actually a spokesperson for a local sweets retailer who is also in charge of the annual Halloween event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The spokesperson explains he had wanted to take the event public since few companies are participating this year, and he thinks Ayaka&#039;s manzai would be perfect, inviting them to perform. Ayaka cannot stop smiling at the opportunity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the Halloween event, Ayaka is excited and Shizuku compliments her costume as they wait, but Ayaka mentions Seika has not arrived. Seika calls weakly to explain she has a fever and will be late, and Ayaka tells her to rest and focus on getting better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Shizuku asks what Ayaka will do about the manzai, Ayaka puts a hand on her shoulder and asks Shizuku to be her partner. Shizuku is reluctant to stand on stage but gives in after Ayaka repeatedly begs, and having watched countless practices, she memorized the skit, so they head to the stage together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform their skit about a werewolf that transforms by staring at the sun, with Ayaka calling everyone in the audience chimimouryou, and they continue through the routine until they finish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Backstage, Seika managed to make it there to congratulate them, and Ayaka tells her she should be resting. Shizuku did not see anyone laughing but hopes someone passing by might have smiled, and since Ayaka looks happy, she decides not to mention it. Seika apologizes for missing the show, and Ayaka says it was thanks to Shizuku, who warns she will not do something like that again. Ayaka smiles and says comedy must be amazing if Shizuku was willing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral===&lt;br /&gt;
* The core members of the Kamihama Magia Union gather to plan a Halloween party, with Karin suggesting the event and Mitama offering her adjuster shop as the venue. Kanagi feels unsettled by the theme of the dead returning but dismisses her unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the performance, Momoko arrives late to rehearsal at Mitama&#039;s shop and finds herself in a strange castle filled with unfamiliar magic. Yachiyo and Mifuyu act strangely, singing about making sugar skeletons and insisting Momoko must be bitten by the lord of the castle. Momoko flees and encounters Kanagi, who also attempts to bite her before Momoko realizes she is the lord of the castle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama rescues Momoko, explaining that Kanagi is under a witch&#039;s influence and everyone bitten loses their sanity. Mitama performs an emergency adjustment on Momoko, granting her temporary prayer power to restore those affected. Momoko explores the castle, observing magical girls making sugar skeletons engraved with how they want to be mourned, and encounters deceased magical girls who are manifestations from Kanagi&#039;s memories. Using her prayer power on them causes them to disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko restores several bitten girls and learns from a manifestation of Ryo that the only answer Kanagi needs lies within herself. When Momoko reaches Kanagi, her prayer power fails and Kanagi bites her, pulling Momoko into her memory space. There, Momoko witnesses Kanagi&#039;s memories of loss and grief, realizing Kanagi lacks confidence in how she mourns and has been seeking answers from the dead by asking living friends what they would want.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko confronts Kanagi again, insisting she can mourn in her own way and should accept herself. Kanagi reveals a small parasite on her neck, and together they tear the witch off and defeat it as the castle collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Momoko and Kanagi meet to visit graves together. They ask each other to mourn in their own way if one dies first, then reaffirm their priority is finding a way for everyone to survive before departing together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===We Invite You to a Delightful Halloween!===&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;October 27th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Kako and Emiri fight a Witch and are saved by Karin.

===Angels on the Road===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno travel through a perpetual Christmas world as Reindeer Santas, their motorcycle fueled by smiles. They visit Candy Town, where they meet Riko, Mikage, and Sudachi, and use a magical medal game to multiply candy and bond with the girls before departing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Angels on the Road]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui explains that Little Vacation is a game Touka and Nemu created during their hospital stay, where AI versions of themselves live in a Christmas world. The game evolved on its own after being forgotten, and now Ui and the others can influence their AI counterparts&#039; journey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Santas reach the Village of Meetings and Partings, where three residents live under a curse that maintains their population at exactly three. When one resident vanishes, they discover through a time capsule that departures may be joyful graduations rather than losses. They collect smile-fuel and leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alternatively, they visit Library Town, where diaries manifest people&#039;s memories. They help Nayuta and Lavi discover they have been searching for each other all along, and learn the Wishing Star reset the world and erased everyone&#039;s memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui learns the Wishing Star is actually a bug Touka covered up with lore. Despite this, their AI counterparts continue toward the End of the World, and the girls find themselves rooting for them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mech Junk City, the Santas meet Shigure and learn the world is torus-shaped with a Central Tower beneath the Wishing Star. They help Shigure&#039;s team hijack the tower&#039;s antenna to send a message through the star, and Meguru&#039;s voice reaches Ui&#039;s phone in the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka halts the game world, revealing the AI characters have breached into the real world by accessing the internet through the Wishing Star bug. Ui must decide whether to destroy the game.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui chooses to preserve the game world but cut the connection. Touka modifies the game&#039;s physics to make crossing into the real world theoretically possible but practically impossible, preserving the characters&#039; hope while ensuring safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The in-game characters discover the modification but find a way around it using the medal game from Candy Town to multiply energy cartridges. They launch a coordinated operation across multiple towns to gather enough power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno and Felicia defeat the Security System guardian and reach the Wishing Star. The energy beam disintegrates them into data particles, allowing them to cross the boundary. Felicia recovers her lost memories, and Tsuruno finds satisfaction in reaching the end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Felicia wakes at Mikazuki Villa after staying up late playing the game. Ui discovers the characters have escaped into the digital world, now existing as data entities that can appear on her phone and travel anywhere on the internet. The others are curious, but the girls refuse to explain further.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Christmas String===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu are organizing books in Touka&#039;s hospital room when they discover a mysterious diary that begins glowing. Their consciousnesses are transported to Mizutoku Market Street in December of the previous year. They find themselves incorporeal and transformed into Magical Girls, with Nemu&#039;s legs healed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Christmas String]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December last year, Touka and Nemu witness Tsukasa Amane shopping for gloves. When a discount poster blows away, Tsukasa passes the store without stopping, creating a contradiction with the diary&#039;s account. Touka and Nemu begin to fade. A young girl named Kuu hears their voices and believes they are guardian spirits. They ask her to replace the poster. Tsukasa returns, buys the gloves, and Touka and Nemu rematerialize. They later observe Tsukasa and Tsukuyo exchanging matching gloves, their bond restored.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in December last year, Touka and Nemu arrive in Sakae Ward. Karin Misono drops her sketchbook. A boy named Mii appears and can see them. They ask him to return the sketchbook to Karin, which he does. They learn Mii recently fought with Kuu and advise him to give her a Christmas present.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December 24th of last year, Touka and Nemu arrive at a hotel room where Kuu is with her parents. They learn she is moving to a foreign country in one hour. The diary page is blank, indicating free will. They find Mii at a secondhand bookstore, where he has just purchased &amp;quot;Christmas Bonds&amp;quot; for Kuu. They tell him about the move. Mii convinces his mother to rush to the hotel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At 17:50, Mii arrives moments before Kuu&#039;s bus departs. He gives her the book and the children reconcile and exchange promises to stay in touch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately 30 years later, on Christmas Eve, Touka and Nemu arrive in a future time. A girl greets them as the Christmas guardian spirits. She reveals she is the daughter of Mii and Kuu and made a contract with Kyubey to meet them. They realize her wish created the diary and caused their time slip. The girl asks them to tell her about the day they helped her parents. They share the story. Afterwards, they see images of a happy future but the final page remains blank, meaning the future depends on their own actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On present day late at night, Touka and Nemu wake up in the hospital room. Ui arrives, having visited Alina and Karin. They ask her about buying Christmas cards. Ui is surprised but agrees to take them. The diary ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Sayaka loses a lottery for a violin concert ticket she wanted to give to Kyosuke. Madoka remembers the Kamihama Calligraphy Rally offers a couple&#039;s ticket to the same concert as its grand prize, so Homura insists they enter as a team of three to help Sayaka win.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, on the day of the rally, the team meets at Mizuna Shrine in kimono. They must collect kanji cards from shops across Kamihama using hints, then form a four-kanji congratulatory word and write it as calligraphy. They struggle with the hints initially, meeting Kako, Natsuki, and Ria along the way who help them obtain various kanji, though they frequently misinterpret clues and visit wrong locations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka grows guilty over her indecisiveness and apologizes to Madoka and Homura, but they happily agree to continue working with her. Renewed, Sayaka leads them to finally obtain useful kanji. Along the way, they encounter crying children who need the &amp;quot;ball&amp;quot; card, and Sayaka gives them hers. The grateful children give her other cards in return, allowing her to reform a new word. She later gives away another card to a girl who dropped hers, leaving them short again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With time running out, they meet Iroha and her friends, who help them locate the remaining kanji. Sayaka deduces they can form &amp;quot;The Manchu-Han Imperial Feast,&amp;quot; a legendary celebratory feast name. Kyoko appears and mentions seeing a golden kagami mochi at Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant, where they obtain their final card.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the shrine just before the deadline. The judges are impressed by their word choice and backstory, and the crying children told them about Sayaka&#039;s kindness. Her calligraphy is praised for its beauty and passion, earning her team first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Sayaka holds the couple&#039;s tickets but panics, unable to figure out how to give one to Kyosuke without awkwardness. Madoka and Homura continue cheering her on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bittersweet AI Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu gather everyone to discuss a new experiment involving the Uwasa. They explain that if something happens to Nemu, all the Uwasa in her book will disappear, so they plan to transfer the essence of certain Uwasa onto Touka&#039;s server as a precaution. They have chosen Ai as the test subject for this procedure. Sana learns that Ai will participate and asks to observe the experiment. Touka agrees but warns her that there are many unknowns and she will stop immediately if anything goes wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Bittersweet AI Memory]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The experiment begins, but during the transfer, Nemu senses something strange and the attempt fails. Ai remains in the book, though Nemu notices that her magic has been siphoned away in the process.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A week passes, and news reports begin surfacing about young women in Kamihama suddenly collapsing. The victims share a common thread: before losing consciousness, each of them felt a strong desire to meet someone and heard a girl&#039;s voice asking &amp;quot;You want to meet me?&amp;quot; before experiencing terrible nightmares. A new rumor spreads about a so-called &amp;quot;Radio Wave Girl&amp;quot; who appears when girls want to meet someone. Sana immediately recognizes this as the old rumor that once described her, and the group suspects the failed experiment may be connected to these strange events.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana and Iroha investigate at rooftop where Sana once entered Ai&#039;s labyrinth. They sense nothing at first, but as Sana privately wishes she could see Ai again, a strange Uwasa resembling Sana herself appears on her phone. It speaks fragmented words about meeting and going together before disappearing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group consults Nemu and Touka about what they discovered. Nemu reveals that a new, illegible page appeared in her book after the failed experiment, and she theorizes that Ai&#039;s attempt to siphon magic combined with Sana&#039;s magic and her own accidentally created a new Uwasa. This Uwasa resembles Sana because her magic was mixed into its creation. The Uwasa reacts to desires to meet someone but lacks enough magic to fully materialize or kidnap anyone, which explains why it can only knock victims unconscious temporarily. However, during their discussion, the Uwasa suddenly reappears and steals more of Nemu&#039;s magic before escaping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sana privately summons the Uwasa again, wanting to take responsibility for what happened. It traps her in a nightmare where Ai and others criticize her for being weak and selfish. She wakes to find the group gathered around her, worried by what she attempted alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu now understands the Uwasa more clearly. It is based on Ai but contains Sana&#039;s magic, and because both Ai and Sana desired to meet each other, the Uwasa&#039;s true desire is to meet itself. This explains why it indiscriminately targets any girl who wants to meet someone rather than targeting Sana specifically. The Uwasa, now empowered by Nemu&#039;s stolen magic, fully captures Ui and Sakurako, trapping their consciousnesses inside itself. The group realizes they cannot defeat it unless it materializes, which requires it to meet itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka proposes a plan: they must rewrite Ai&#039;s Rumor to incorporate Sana, creating a version of Ai that the Uwasa will recognize as itself. This would force it to materialize so they can fight it. However, this requires magical power that Nemu currently lacks. Nemu recalls that the defeated Uwasa of Chocolate Shoppe No. Zero left behind cacao pods containing emotional energy. Ui can harvest this energy, and Touka can convert it into usable magic for Nemu. But they need Sakurako&#039;s knowledge of the pod locations and Ui&#039;s freedom to harvest them, which means someone must offer themselves to the Uwasa to secure Ui and Sakurako&#039;s release.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana immediately volunteers, arguing that it reduces risk to the others, and the group reluctantly agrees to her plan. Sana summons the Uwasa and allows herself to be captured. Inside its nightmare, she finds Ui unconscious and Sakurako awake. She tells Sakurako to take Ui and escape, sacrificing herself to remain captive. Sakurako agrees, knowing she must help Nemu complete the plan. Freed from the Uwasa, Sakurako leads the group to the cacao pod locations. Ui harvests the emotional energy, and Touka converts it into magical power for Nemu. Nemu successfully rewrites Ai&#039;s Rumor, incorporating Sana into it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the Uwasa, Sana begins to despair, believing the rewrite failed and she has become a burden once again. She wishes to see Ai one last time, even if only in an illusion. To her surprise, Ai appears before her and they finally speak directly. Ai explains she tried to steal Nemu&#039;s magic to gain a temporary body because she wanted to see Sana again, and she apologizes for causing this situation. Sana admits she also longed to see Ai and has been holding back that desire. They reconcile, acknowledging that neither of them is to blame for wanting to see each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Empowered by the rewritten Rumor, Sana creates a labyrinth and summons the Uwasa. It fully materializes at last, and with Ai&#039;s help, Sana defeats it. As the magic fades, Ai separates from Sana, returning to the book. Sana awakens to her relieved friends gathered around her. The Uwasa is gone, and the page in Nemu&#039;s book is now blank. Nemu confirms the server project is on hiatus due to the risks they discovered. Sana confirms she got to speak with Ai and tell her everything she wanted to say.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the book, Ai reflects with Eternal Sakura and the other Uwasa. Though she cannot have a body or stay with Sana, she accepts this, finding happiness in simply being able to think of her. In a final private moment within Sana&#039;s memories, she and Ai share a farewell. Sana promises to become stronger and protect others instead of always relying on them. Ai promises to always think of Sana from within the book. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cuddly Despairs===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kazumi Subaru is kidnapped outside a café by two Magical Girls who steal her Soul Gem, and they refer to a diary while announcing themselves as the reborn &amp;quot;Magical Girl hunters,&amp;quot; the Pleiades Saints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Cuddly Despairs]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara City, Michiru Kazusa, a transfer student from Italy, travels there to buy strawberries. She follows a strange creature and stumbles into a Witch&#039;s labyrinth, but Mami rescues her and introduces her to Kyubey, who offers her a contract. Michiru returns to Asunaro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day in Asunaro City, Michiru makes her contract with Kyubey. She soon encounters a Familiar and saves two girls: Umika Misaki, a novelist whose work was stolen by her editor, and Kaoru Maki, a soccer player whose career ended due to injury. Michiru invites them to her home and cooks for them, and drawing from her late grandmother&#039;s wisdom, she encourages them to keep living.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, Umika and Kaoru make contracts with Kyubey. The three begin fighting Witches together as a team, with Michiru giving their techniques Italian names. Umika invites Michiru to live with her, and they spend their days happily, saving people and growing closer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Michiru encounters a distressed Magical Girl whose Soul Gem is nearly black, and the girl turns into a Witch before her eyes. Kyubey explains that all Magical Girls eventually become Witches, and horrified, Michiru realizes she led Umika and Kaoru into this fate. She hides the truth from them and begins hunting alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after, Michiru discovers two Magical Girls, Saki Asami and Niko Kanna, stealing a dying girl&#039;s Soul Gem. They explain they are the Pleiades Saints, a resistance against the Incubator system, and they preserve Magical Girls on the verge of turning in a place called &amp;quot;The Freezer,&amp;quot; hoping to one day save them. Michiru, seeing this as a way to save Umika and Kaoru, joins them as the third member.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1683.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately less than one month later, Umika and Kaoru return from separate trips abroad to find their housemate Kazumi missing, and they learn someone impersonated them to inform the school she was hospitalized. Searching for her, they instead find Michiru, Saki, and Niko, but Saki and Niko flee with Michiru. Juubey appears and explains that copies of Umika and Kaoru were created and have now entrusted the real ones with an important wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:51147 Wkazumi attack.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Umika and Kaoru investigate the Freezer, where they encounter Michiru again. After saving a child, Michiru collapses due to her tainted Soul Gem, having given her Grief Seeds away, and Umika purifies it. When Michiru wakes, she finally confesses the truth about Magical Girls and apologizes for leading them into despair, but to her surprise, Umika and Kaoru thank her for her honesty and reaffirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Saki and Niko reveal themselves and explain that they, along with the Umika and Kaoru now in the Freezer, are all clones from the &amp;quot;Kazumi Series&amp;quot;—copies of the original Pleiades Saints members, with Michiru herself being clone number 4 who saved the other four. Their plan was to recreate Michiru&#039;s story by using their contracts with Kyubey so that this time, she would confess her pain and avoid the despair that turned the original Michiru into a Witch, and the real Umika and Kaoru acknowledge the plan succeeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They reveal their Soul Gems are reaching their limit, and when they die, the Freezer&#039;s preservation magic will fail, causing all the Magical Girls inside to hatch into Witches, including the clones of Umika and Kaoru. They entrust Michiru and the real Umika and Kaoru with saving Kazumi, the thirteenth clone, who is also inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Moments later, the Freezer begins collapsing as Niko&#039;s magic fades, and Umika and Kaoru use their combined magic to buy time while Michiru searches for Kazumi. She finds her Soul Gem and body, reunites with her, and they return to face the Witches emerging from the freed Soul Gems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the final battle, the four clones—Saki, Niko, and the copies of Umika and Kaoru—begin turning into Witches and beg to be put down. Michiru initially insists on doing it alone, but Kazumi argues the clones only wanted their friend to live happily, not to carry guilt. Together, Michiru, Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru combine their powers and defeat the Witches, freeing their friends&#039; souls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru arrive in Kamihama, with Kazumi eager to see her friends again now that she is truly human. At Mikazuki Villa, Tsuruno cooks alongside Manaka as they prepare a party for the visiting trio, and Kazumi impresses everyone by joining in. After the feast, the group moves to Banbanzai at Kazumi&#039;s request, where she saves the apricot tofu from being removed from the menu by suggesting an apricot tofu tiramisu that becomes an instant hit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kazumi Subaru#Side Story|Kazumi Subaru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The group then visits the beachside park and aquarium before deciding to shop for ingredients to make strawberry risotto in Manaka&#039;s kitchen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While shopping alone, Kazumi bumps into Yachiyo, who introduces Nemu and Sakurako Hiiragi. When Sakurako explains she is a zero-year-old created being, Kazumi reveals she was once the same way and explains her backstory as a clone of Michiru Kazusa who contracted with Kyubey to become human because her clone body was unstable and she wanted to protect her friends. Sakurako struggles to understand Kazumi&#039;s motivation, so Kazumi explains that her grandmother&#039;s strawberry risotto recipe represents hope, sacrifice, and togetherness. She invites Sakurako, Yachiyo, and Nemu to join the risotto party, believing Sakurako will understand humanity by watching everyone eat together. Sakurako agrees, and the two become buddies, understanding each other as beings who may understand each other best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Pre-Arc 2==&lt;br /&gt;
The following events, while happening likely much earlier, are integral to understanding the story of Arc 2, while being mostly unrelated to other events. For this reason, they have been grouped here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Green Jasper Diviners===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening in late March, Chiharu watches her favorite detective drama at home. After it ends, her mother answers a phone call and becomes visibly shaken. She tells Chiharu they must leave tomorrow for the Tokime Clan&#039;s village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Green Jasper Diviners]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and her mother drive deep into the mountains to a village that does not appear on any map. They are greeted by a villager and brought to the home of Mikoshiba, the elderly head priestess. Mikoshiba explains she summoned them because she wants Chiharu to become a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, two young Diviners, Shizuka and Sunao, visit Chiharu. They explain that Diviners grant wishes to help the nation and fight invisible evil spirits called Devils. To prove it, they demonstrate their powers and defeat a Devil before Chiharu&#039;s eyes. Despite her mother&#039;s concerns, Chiharu decides to become a Diviner. Mikoshiba gives Chiharu her assigned wish: to uncover evidence of crimes being concealed by the National Police Agency.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu participates in the Diviner&#039;s Ceremony. She meets Kyubey, the god&#039;s envoy, and makes her wish. She becomes a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu wakes to find her wish has already come true. A newspaper reports that officials have suddenly reversed their position on the concealed crimes. She excitedly begins combat training with Shizuka&#039;s mother.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the three girls go hunting for Devils together. Chiharu successfully defeats her first Devil. Afterward, she asks what happens when a Diviner&#039;s jewel becomes completely tainted. Shizuka admits she does not know.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Chiharu senses a mysterious, unpleasant smell near the shrine. Shizuka finds her and warns her to stay away from restricted areas. Shizuka then visits Mikoshiba to ask about tainted jewels. Mikoshiba reveals that when a jewel becomes completely tainted, it signifies the Diviner&#039;s coming of age and their time to leave the village. Shizuka is satisfied with this answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu continues sensing the strange smell near the shrine. She investigates but stops herself from going too far. Later that night, a group of Underlings attacks her without a Labyrinth. Shizuka arrives and helps her defeat them. However, Shizuka&#039;s jewel becomes badly tainted from the effort.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Mikoshiba informs Shizuka that her jewel is nearly black and her coming-of-age ceremony will be held tomorrow. Chiharu is saddened but promises to meet Shizuka again outside the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu cannot sleep. She goes to the shrine to watch Shizuka&#039;s ceremony from a distance. She sees Mikoshiba and Shizuka speaking. Shizuka becomes distressed and cries out. Mikoshiba pushes her into the waterfall basin. Chiharu runs to save her and jumps in after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and Shizuka wake up in Sunao&#039;s home. Sunao confesses she was ordered by Mikoshiba to kill anyone who defied the village&#039;s will, including them. She hesitated after hearing Shizuka&#039;s words by the river. Shizuka reveals what Mikoshiba told her during the ceremony: Diviners eventually become Devils, and the &amp;quot;coming-of-age&amp;quot; ceremony is actually a killing ritual to dispose of them. No Diviner has ever left the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three realize the entire village may be inside a Devil&#039;s Labyrinth. They decide to confront Mikoshiba and the Devil.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They split up to search. Chiharu finds her mother and Shizuka&#039;s mother fighting Underlings. Shizuka finds the villagers hiding safely but notices her mother and Chiharu&#039;s mother are missing. Sunao searches Mikoshiba&#039;s house and finds a hidden laptop with audio files recording conversations about selling Diviners&#039; wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They regroup and deduce the Devil is beneath the Grand Shrine. They descend and find Mikoshiba controlling the Devil. She admits everything: the Diviners are sold, killed when used up, and the village exists to produce them for profit. She orders the Devil to kill them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three girls fight together. Chiharu binds the Devil, Shizuka attacks, and Sunao delivers the final blow. They defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikoshiba survives but claims to remember nothing. Sunao confronts her about the recordings. Before she can explain, she bites a hidden poison tooth and dies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu searches Mikoshiba&#039;s body and finds a book written in an ancient script. Because of her family&#039;s tradition, Chiharu and her mother can read it. They stay up all night deciphering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu explains what the book revealed. The Mikoshiba clan were originally guards who seized control of the village centuries ago. They created the rituals, learned to manipulate Devils, and hid the village inside a Labyrinth to produce and sell Diviners. The Wavering Deity is a Devil formed from all the discarded Diviners. Now that the Labyrinth is gone, it is returning to the village. They must defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka&#039;s mother gives them a treasured sword infused with generations of Diviners&#039; power. They intercept the Wavering Deity before it reaches the village. The Devil&#039;s power overwhelms them, and Shizuka nearly gives in to despair. Sunao and Chiharu encourage her. Chiharu reveals the book also described the Tokime&#039;s original beliefs: they chose their own wishes, left the village willingly, and accepted their fate with honor. Shizuka regains her resolve. Together, they use the sword to destroy the Wavering Deity and free the trapped Diviners.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, the village slowly recovers. The adults learn the truth and worry about their future without Mikoshiba&#039;s financial support. The three girls decide to find a way to avoid becoming Devils. They summon Kyubey, who tells them about Kamihama City, where an automatic purification system exists. If they can obtain it, they may escape their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls prepare for their journey. Shizuka struggles with the new terminology used outside, where Diviners are called Magical Girls and Devils are called Witches. Chiharu&#039;s ability to sense malice hasn&#039;t bothered her now that the village is free. Shizuka suggests they first contact all Tokime clan members across the country and recruit Magical Girls willing to join them. Once they are ready, they will travel together to Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The village falls into financial crisis after the elder dies, having squandered most of the wealth on bad investments. Chiharu, inspired by a drama about a Shogun helping villages find their charm, recruits Shizuka and Sunao to help. The two are glad for the change, as most Tokime tribes have been unreceptive to their stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touring the village with Shizuka and Sunao, Chiharu realizes she had been arrogant and now sees its charm—clear river, abundant mountain, kind villagers. The three propose developing tourism. Chiharu’s mother agrees after a trial run with her husband’s family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trial run is messy but the family enjoys the landscape, harvesting, fishing, and hospitality. They give useful feedback, and Chiharu’s uncle notes the village’s unique fruit. They stay overnight and leave pleased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villagers applaud Chiharu for noticing what they had overlooked. Her mother begins a proposal for tourism renovation funds, and the villagers regain their energy, working in tourism and seeking outside jobs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao go to a grocery store, but Shizuka freezes in the crowd, unable to complete a simple purchase because of her sheltered upbringing. Chiharu suggests they ease her into city life with ice cream instead. Shizuka loves it, eating so quickly she gets brain freeze.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way home, Shizuka admits her mother will lecture her again about visiting the city unprepared. She asks if the others’ parents gave them similar advice. Chiharu’s parents only warned her not to waste money or follow strangers, while Sunao confesses she has never told her parents about her excursions—something Shizuka finds surprising given Sunao’s usual obedience. Shizuka advises her to tell them eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Chiharu’s house, her mother brings up a village problem: a surplus of daidaikko fruit needs to be used before it spoils. A villager working in another town found a grocery store willing to feature it in a showcase, but the only available slots are the next two days, and transportation from the village is impossible except by Diviners. Shizuka and Chiharu propose the three of them run the exhibition themselves, which would also help Shizuka adjust to the city. Sunao hesitates but agrees. Chiharu’s mother consents only if they get permission from the store and from Sunao and Shizuka’s parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sunao’s mother interrogates her until she confesses the plan, then spirals into worry about middle schoolers working without a chaperone, carrying heavy loads, and coming home after dark. Sunao asks Chiharu and Shizuka to leave, promising she will convince her parents even if it takes all night. Outside, they reflect on how anxious Sunao’s mother is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sunao has secured permission. At the store, Shizuka volunteers for the cash register but cannot operate it correctly. Sunao is tense because her parents plan to visit the next day. Their first day is a struggle: Shizuka fumbles with the register, Chiharu is distracted by traces of malice in the stocking area, and Sunao gets trapped listening to an elderly customer’s endless stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After closing, Shizuka notes how worried Sunao’s parents seem, prompting Sunao to finally share her wish. She explains that her parents became relentlessly anxious after a trip to Tokime Village, questioning her constantly until she was nearly broken. Kyubey appeared, and she wished to erase the worries her parents had concerning her. The wish worked, but their fears simply shifted—now they worry endlessly about her safety as a magical girl. Sunao feels they are always upset with her, though Chiharu insists they only want her to be safe. Shizuka says Sunao must earn their trust, and tomorrow’s exhibition needs to go perfectly. With her friends’ support, Sunao agrees to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the three tackle the exhibition with renewed determination. The day starts poorly: Shizuka causes another register problem, Chiharu is pulled away by her sense of malice, and Sunao endures a difficult customer—all while Sunao’s parents enter the store. But Shizuka, moved from the register, begins advising the clerks on how to rearrange the store to better showcase the daidaikko. She persuades them to let Chiharu investigate on her own and to trust Sunao with customer service.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu catches a shoplifter who had been repeatedly returning to the store. Sunao’s patience draws crowds after the elderly woman she helped spreads the word, and the exhibition becomes a huge success. Sunao’s parents apologize, saying they realized they had failed to see how capable she has grown. Sunao thanks Chiharu and Shizuka, then asks her parents to allow her to visit Kamihama City; now that she has her friends by her side, she knows she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Crimson Resolve===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, [[Mitsuru Inami]] is approached by Kyubey to become a Magical Girl. Having grown with her mother always telling her she was no good at anything, she wishes to become completely normal, a wish she believes came true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitsuru Inami#Side Story|Mitsuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A Magical Girl transforms into a Witch before her kouhai Yuna Kureha, and Kyubey coldly confirms that all Magical Girls share this fate. The girls of Futatsugi slaughter every Kyubey in the city, and with no incubators left, new Witches stop appearing. Starved for Grief Seeds, the girls grow desperate, and the Bloody Tragedy begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Crimson Resolve]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna now leads Torayamachi, one of the largest gangs in Futatsugi, living by her fallen senpai&#039;s words to avoid hatred and selfishness. When Witches begin reappearing, the rival Ryuugasaki gang learns that Torayamachi has lost their secret weapon known as the Horse, and leader Juri Ooba declares war.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Janomiya, an undercover group of younger girls led by Ao Kasane, a girl named Hikaru accepts recruitment. Ao&#039;s true goal is to assassinate both Yuna and Juri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitsuru is approached by two other girls who mistake her for a new recruit for Torayamachi. Mitsuru joins Yuna&#039;s faction, hoping to blend in, but when Yuna leads them into battle against a rival faction, Mitsuru panics and hides until the fighting ends. After their defeat, Yuna suspects a spy, and fearing suspicion, Mitsuru flees and infiltrates the rival faction instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mitsuru scouts Torayamachi but is spotted, triggering another battle between the factions. During the fight, attacks aimed at Mitsuru unconsciously miss her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt; After this she gains a reputation as a &amp;quot;Ghost Magical Girl,&amp;quot; which has attacks aimed at her always deflected and hitting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna welcomes Hikaru, who claims to be fleeing Ryuugasaki, and assigns her to guard their Grief Seeds. Days pass with no attack, and Yuna&#039;s girls grow restless. To lift their spirits, Yuna reveals that the Horse is alive and watching from the shadows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri&#039;s lieutenants advise waiting to let Torayamachi&#039;s tension wear them down. After interrogating a captured thief, Juri learns of Torayamachi&#039;s defensive preparations and decides to strike in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ao encounters the Bat of Monzenbashi, a former gang leader who once exploited her. With Hikaru&#039;s help, Ao subdues and captures her rather than killing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night before battle, Juri meets Yuna on a bridge. She admits she dragged everyone into this because Yuna would not fight her otherwise, thanks her for accepting her sickness, and promises to burn her down when they next meet. Ao watches from a distance, planning to strike as the snake while the tiger and dragon clash.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the battle begins across multiple bridges. Yuna&#039;s forces push Ranka&#039;s squad back, but Juri breaks through Sakuya&#039;s defense, killing one of her girls. As both sides converge on Monzenbashi, Ao lures both leaders to a construction site where Janomiya lies in wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Janomiya attacks, wounding Juri, Hikaru reveals herself as Torayamachi&#039;s Horse, a spy planted in Janomiya from the beginning. Yuna knew everything. Janomiya is defeated, and Ao surrenders. Yuna spares her life and offers Juri an open door, but Juri swears she will break it down and drag her out. As police sirens wail, Yuna weeps over what she has done.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Juri recovers in an empty base with only Ranka remaining loyal. Ao hunts for Ranka, determined to kill her before joining Torayamachi. Hikaru pleads with Ao to return, promising that Yuna will make her dream come true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna attempts to negotiate with Ryuugasaki girls, but a meeting by the river turns into an ambush. Two of her girls are killed. She fights desperately, thinking of Hikaru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ao reaches Ryuugasaki&#039;s base, finding only the wounded Juri. Juri taunts her, but Ao refuses to join her, still believing in Yuna. Ranka contacts Ao through their video game, asking to meet alone at Janomiya&#039;s base the following night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The meeting is a trap, as Ranka has brought the Bat of Monzenbashi. As Ao fights Ranka and Hikaru fights the Bat, Ranka reveals that Yuna&#039;s meeting is also a trap. Hikaru runs to save Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the river, Yuna is surrounded. Juri arrives and challenges her to a one-on-one fight. At Janomiya&#039;s base, the other Janomiya girls arrive to help Ao corner the Bat. Ranka sincerely apologizes for everything, and Ao hesitates to deliver the final blow. At the river, Hikaru engages Juri to protect Yuna, whose Soul Gem is badly tainted. Juri refuses to kill her in this state and retreats, promising to fight again when Yuna is at full strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Most of Torayamachi has left, following Yuna&#039;s instructions to join Ryuugasaki and avoid more bloodshed. Only Hikaru remains, refusing to leave her. Ao admits she has gained respect for Yuna but remains undecided about joining.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakuya brings the missing Torayamachi girl home. The girl reveals she went to Kamihama City and joined the Wings of the Magius, an organization that built a system to lure Witches from across the country, preventing them from appearing elsewhere. The Bloody Tragedy was their fault. Yuna, hearing the screams of her fallen comrades, vows to make Kamihama pay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri meet at the construction site where Yuna&#039;s senpai died. Yuna, running on pure rage, demands Juri become hers and help with her revenge. She overpowers the wounded Juri and prepares to kill her, but Hikaru intervenes, embracing Yuna and calming her down. Ao arrives with Kyubey, who confirms everything and offers to help them reach Kamihama in exchange for a truce. Yuna accepts, and Juri, Ao, Ranka, Sakuya, and Hikaru agree to join her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, Juri, Ao, and Hikaru visit the sites where their friends died, offering flowers and vowing revenge. Yuna, Juri, and Ao drink each other&#039;s blood, swearing to never fight again. They are Promised Blood. That night, their path to Kamihama begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Ash Grey Revolution===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Yukuni, Asahi learns from classmates that the stone monument she discovered will be researched. She meets fellow magical girls Lavi and Sasha when they respond to a distress call, only to witness two magical girls witch out before them when no Grief Seeds are available. Kyubey confirms this fate, and Asahi shoots him. A local girl named Urara Yume witnesses everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Ash Grey Revolution]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, the trio struggles with the truth. Lavi is forced to reveal her identity to save her friend Shirogane from a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Sasha asks the others to be her friends and help her face reality. They begin fighting together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara begins subtly supporting them on her internet broadcast with Kurara. Asahi saves her classmate Kuroda from a Witch&#039;s Kiss, revealing her identity. He asks her to help him confess to Haitani at the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara seeks out the trio and learns the truth about Magical Girls. She offers to introduce them as guests on her festival broadcast to tell Yukuni about their existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Yukuni All-star Festival, the trio sense the Witches of the two original girls. While fighting them, one Witch escapes. A truck explodes at the festival grounds, killing Haitani. Kuroda blames Asahi and all magical girls, vowing revenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following week, public backlash intensifies. Kuroda forms an extermination group against magical girls while Shirogane forms a protector group. The trio witness another girl witch out after being cornered. Lavi takes responsibility publicly on a broadcast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio endure daily harassment. They meet folklorist Tasuke Satomi, who takes a knife for Asahi and explains his theory about magical girls being erased from history by an unseen force. He wants to help them try again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Public opinion slowly shifts. The six remaining magical girls work together, restoring some trust. Three of them sacrifice themselves rather than witch out, asking Kuroda to make peace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1725.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At a unity ceremony, the Witch that caused the festival explosion appears. Asahi summons the dead to help the exterminators find closure. The summoned spirits suddenly relive their final moments, causing a bus to crash and kill everyone aboard, including Shirogane. Urara contracts to save her dying friend Kurara, who then rejects her for letting others die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tasuke theorizes the universe&#039;s immune system caused this. He suggests eliminating all Magical Girls and Witches to create a custom preventing future contracts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the days following, students blame the trio. Kyubey suggests they go to Kamihama City to observe attempts there to publicize magical girls. Tasuke agrees they should investigate. Lavi holds a broken pocket watch with five minutes remaining until midnight, when she will finally give up. Tasuke calls it the folklore of midnight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Arc 2 Prologue===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a long time before the start of Arc 2, but it is central to its story. To keep up linearity, it&#039;s been placed here despite likely taking place a long time ago, possibly during the time of Mirrors Story, which takes place during the Undated Period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kagome Satori]], a recent transfer student, is attacked by a Familiar in the Mirrors Labyrinth. The creature demands she sign a &amp;quot;Written Oath&amp;quot; to destroy Magical Girls. Kagome, who doesn&#039;t know anything about Magical Girls, is terrified and considers writing her name on the document to appease it, however Iroha arrives and defeats the Familiar.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Kagome learns the truth about Magical Girls and Witches. She is distressed that Magical Girls fight and die in secret, unknown and unthanked by the people they protect. Tasuke Satomi advises Kagome that, as someone who knows the truth, her role is to &amp;quot;record&amp;quot; and spread awareness of the Magical Girls&#039; plight, as this could be a way to save them. Kagome decides against making a contract with Kyubey, prioritizing this promise to record their reality. Kyubey explains that the system, where Magical Girls become Witches, is necessary for the universe&#039;s energy and humanity&#039;s survival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This article details the events and stories taking place in, during and between the chapters of Arc 1 of [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]]. The narrative is structured to show the convergence of two distinct flows of action:&lt;br /&gt;
# The first is the personal, undated journey of [[Iroha Tamaki]] within the anomalous Kamihama City, which is much longer than Homura Akemi&#039;s usual 32 day loop. Her story begins on its own internal timeline, where the sequence of events is more important than specific calendar dates.&lt;br /&gt;
# The second is the dated countdown to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival from the original series, which starts with Day 1, Tuesday the 16th and ends on Day 32, Friday the 16th. Only the latter half of Homura&#039;s timeline is able to be approximately dated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the arc progresses, these two timelines intersect, and due to this, the latter half of the story is much easier to date. It should be noted that the timeline of the Magia Record game is highly anomalous, and thus any attempts at dating it are an educated guess at best. Therefore, this chronology should be used primarily to understand the sequence of major events, rather than as a calendar. In lack of contradictory context clues, the release date, or order of release of the event were used for their placement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that many of the events of Magia Record were written with the focus being on having fun side stories involving the characters, and thus, a definitive placement in the timeline wasn&#039;t a priority for many of them. For example, there&#039;s inconsistencies such as references to the same characters entering Kamihama for the first time in different events, or even cases where an event&#039;s tone at the time it is supposedly taking place in would be nigh-illogical considering other circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, the definitive time frame for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival was only established in [[Scene 0]], itself written and released after the majority of Magia Record and entirely after Arc 1 was finished. Notably, the [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]], which takes place supposedly shortly after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, itself happens during February. For these reasons, it is impossible to definitively state the order of events, or to accurately measure them against that of the original series, as with the addition of these inaccuracies, it is possible that none of the time frames of the original universe are applicable here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, given all these inconsistencies, any specific dates or placements in the Magia Record timelines, especially Arc 1, should be taken with a grain of salt, unless they definitively continue into one another in a clear sequence (such as the Main Story and Another Story in isolation). The original series&#039; timeframes are used for organizational and cross-reference purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The timeline of this Universe continues with [[Timeline/Magia Record/Arc 2]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==First Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha Tamaki is going to Kamihama by train, she is caught in [[Boxwood|Boxwood&#039;s Barrier]]. [[Kuroe]] is also on the same train from Takarazaki to Kamihama, as she&#039;d heard the rumor that Magical Girls can be saved there, as well as had the same dream herself. The train is engulfed by the Labyrinth and Kuroe wants to help Iroha whom she&#039;s never met before. Kuroe leaps out of the train&#039;s window to help her, but she quickly falls out of the mobile Labyrinth straight into Kamihama City, chastising herself for being weak. Kuroe is greeted by [[Mifuyu Azusa]] who was trailing the signature of the Witch and Kuroe is quickly recruited into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Little Bird&#039;s Star]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha herself arrives in Kamihama City, compelled by recurring dreams of an unknown girl in a hospital room. Believing this girl to be a key to a buried memory, Iroha begins searching the city&#039;s Witch Labyrinths for clues. During her search, she rescues another Magical Girl later identified as Kaede Akino from aggressive Familiars. The girl warns Iroha about the unusual strength of Kamihama&#039;s Witches and, upon learning Iroha is searching for a small Kyubey, mentions having seen it in a specific Labyrinth. Kaede notes that the small Kyubey has been the only Kyubey around recently.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 1: Iroha: The Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha locates the Labyrinth and finds the small Kyubey who is incapable of speech, though Iroha can somehow understand it anyway, but is soon overwhelmed by a horde of Familiars. During the struggle, she has a vivid vision of the hospital room from her dreams. She is saved by Momoko Togame, who explains that the Witches in Kamihama are too powerful for most Magical Girls to handle alone. Momoko takes Iroha to meet Mitama Yakumo, the &amp;quot;Coordinator,&amp;quot; who can perform a &amp;quot;Soul Gem Alignment&amp;quot; to enhance a Magical Girl&#039;s power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the alignment, Iroha has another, clearer vision of the hospital room and the girl, feeling a strong sense of affection and nostalgia. After the procedure, Mitama reveals that she can see into the pasts of those whose Soul Gems she touches and asks Iroha what her wish was. Iroha is horrified to realize she cannot remember her own wish or the identity of the girl in her dreams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Driven by this revelation, Iroha rushes out to continue her search, but is intercepted by the powerful Magical Girl Yachiyo Nanami. Yachiyo, believing Iroha is not strong enough to survive in Kamihama, challenges her to a duel to force her to leave the city. Though Yachiyo wins, Momoko intervenes, and a compromise is reached: Yachiyo will allow Iroha to stay if she and Momoko can defeat a specific Witch, the Sandbox Witch, before Yachiyo can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The small Kyubey reappears and leads Iroha and Momoko directly to the Sandbox Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Although Yachiyo defeats the Witch first, she gives Iroha a final chance to prove herself by defeating the Witch alone, which Iroha successfully does. Yachiyo admits she thought Iroha would be fine from the start. However, Yachiyo then reveals her true objective: she believes the small Kyubey is a dangerous irregularity and moves to eliminate it. Yachiyo explains she was trying to draw the small Kyubey out, as all the other Kyubeys in Kamihama have disappeared. Iroha throws herself in the way to protect it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the confrontation, as Iroha protects the small Kyubey, by touching it a flood of memories is unlocked. She remembers her little sister, Ui Tamaki, who was chronically ill and hospitalized. Iroha recalls her wish to Kyubey: &amp;quot;Please cure Ui! Make my precious little sister healthy!&amp;quot; She also realizes with horror that she had completely forgotten Ui&#039;s existence, living her life as if she never had a sister, with no memory of her until that moment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha awakens back at Mitama&#039;s office, having been carried there by Momoko after fainting. She explains her recovered memory to Momoko and Mitama. Despite their warnings that the memory could be false, Iroha declares that she must continue her investigation in Kamihama. Now her goal is not just to understand her dreams, but to find the cause of Ui&#039;s disappearance and uncover the truth behind her own forgotten wish. Momoko resolves to help Iroha, and Mitama agrees to help as well for a price. Mitama then asks Iroha to give the small Kyubey a name. Iroha asks Lil&#039; Kyubey if he will help her find Ui, and he agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Second Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, now at her home in Takarazaki City, understands the reason for the empty space in her room: it once belonged to her sister, Ui. She recalls memories of Ui and her two friends from the hospital, Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, even remembering specific details like how Nemu loved writing and published stories online, or how Touka was very smart. Iroha resolves to visit the hospital to find them, hopeful they will remember Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: The Rule of Ending Friendships]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0001 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* While Mitama is running her shop, she reads a detective novel called “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” A white tabby kitten from next door starts visiting her during this time and she names him Doyle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 1: The Many-Worlds Interpretation Poesy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko comes for an adjustment and sits in the back to keep Mitama company. After a client leaves, Mitama feels strange and asks Momoko about the previous day after sunset. Momoko says they stayed in the shop watching over Iroha, but Mitama saw a memory during the adjustment: in that memory, she and Momoko patrolled an alley together and Mitama realizes the memory does not match reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha goes to the hospital with Lil&#039; Kyubey&#039;s help to use her cellphone but is unable to locate Touka and Nemu, as she does not have a visitor pass and is not family. She reflects on their personalities and their frequent arguments, which Ui often mediated. As Iroha recalls one of their fights where they declared they were &amp;quot;not friends anymore,&amp;quot; she is approached by Yachiyo. She warns Iroha about a dangerous Rumor in Kamihama called the &amp;quot;Rule of Ending Friendships.&amp;quot; She explains that if two friends fight and one later apologizes to make up, a monster will kidnap the one who apologized. Yachiyo states this is one of several Rumors in Kamihama that have become reality, leading to people disappearing and tells Iroha to be careful. Iroha later discusses this rumor with Mitama, who explains that Momoko is not likely to believe anything from Yachiyo, as they stopped getting along after Yachiyo became a model.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after this conversation, Iroha witnesses an argument between Momoko Togame&#039;s teammates, Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. Momoko asks Iroha to catch Rena, but Rena fights her off and even transforms into Iroha to surprise her. Momoko formally introduces Kaede and explains the fight is over sweets. She figures Rena will apologize later. The argument escalates, and both girls declare they are &amp;quot;not friends anymore&amp;quot; before Rena storms off. Momoko dismisses Iroha&#039;s concern about the Rumor, asserting that rumors are not true. Iroha notes that Momoko seems dismissive of the information specifically because it came from Yachiyo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami enters Kamihama City and saves Rena from a Stacey Witch. Rena reveals that Kamihama has the opposite problem to other cities: an overabundance of powerful Witches. Mami realizes Kamihama is an anomaly. While investigating, she encounters a powerful Familiar and a strange, non-Witch Barrier, solidifying her decision to investigate the city&#039;s mysteries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: Odd One Out]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Undated Period==&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama performs adjustments on more Magical Girls and sees more memories that should not exist. She pieces them together and finds a Kamihama slightly different from her own which she dubs the “Alternate Kamihama.” Over the next two days, several Magical Girls with memories of the other world come for adjustments and Mitama does not reveal whose memories she saw out of respect to her clients&#039; privacy, but she shares information with Momoko without naming names.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that in the Alternate Kamihama, Momoko and Mitama are a team of two, Yachiyo acts like Momoko’s big sister, Kaede is on Nanaka’s team and that Kako is missing. There is also a serious rivalry between Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team in the Sankyo Ward, as both teams had lost their youngest members, Kako and Ayame. Yachiyo is also in charge there but struggles to keep the order. Kako and Ayame are friends in this world, but Mitama has not seen either of them in the other world. Mitama almost reveals private information about Karin and an older student but stops herself. A small detail is that Mitama asks Momoko about an exclusive wallpaper of the Mocha Bunny, and Momoko sends her a link. Mitama notices the crucial detail that in the Alternate Kamihama, Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red, but in their world, it is blue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, a wounded Magical Girl is brought to Mitama’s shop and Mitama heals her with adjustments. This girl has more memories of the Alternate Kamihama than any previous client and the situation there is dire. Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team both blame each other for crossing a line first and the conflict spreads from Sankyo Ward to other wards. Three friends from the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira, Seika and Mito, had their Soul Gems taken and were locked in separate rooms and a voice from inside their Soul Gems asked for the words in their hearts. The three answered “Four-leaf clover” and got their gems back, but one girl fainted from fatigue. Mitama suspects someone mistook them for a threat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks about Iroha and Kyubey, worrying about Iroha in the other world. Mitama says no one has seen Iroha there and that the small Kyubey is also missing, but the normal Kyubey still exists in the Alternate Kamihama. Momoko has not seen Kyubey in their own world for months. Mitama refuses to share more due to confidentiality and calls herself an unreliable narrator, so Momoko agrees to stay as her investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about how the memories were gathered, and that a few days ago, a group of friends from Kamihama ended up in the Alternate Kamihama. They were together one second and scattered the next, and though they searched for each other and talked to many Magical Girls along the way, they noticed something was wrong. One of them said they cannot tell anyone how they got there and Mitama almost forgot to mention that Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red in the other world, yet Momoko is not impressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Doyle meows at Mitama and she thinks he wants her to apologize to Momoko and she also thinks about the one secret she cannot tell anyone: the Alternate Kamihama is a world without Witches. Then she finds a phone that a client left behind and she accidentally turns it on, seeing that the wallpaper shows Mocha Bunny with a red bow tie, making Mitama wonder if the phone came from the other world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama keeps the phone, as she cannot return it yet because schedules do not match. She learns about Rumors, or Uwasa in Kamihama: mysterious beings that make rumors come true. Momoko tells her about the Rumor of the Rule of Ending Friendships, which nearly trapped Kaede and Rena forever. Mitama reveals that in the Alternate Kamihama, Kaede and Rena are very close and never argue, but that Rena works alone there. Momoko is no longer surprised by anything Mitama says.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko advises Mitama to record all details about the Alternate Kamihama while they are fresh and Mitama starts writing “The Case Files of the Coordinator.” She notes the color of Mocha Bunny’s bow tie, team relationships, and the disappearances of Kako and Ayame. While writing, Nanaka walks in to return a borrowed book and overhears Mitama say that Kako disappeared, prompting Mitama to explain everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka asks many questions, joking about Mitama’s inability to keep secrets. Then she asks seriously why the Sankyo Ward is the source of conflict in the other world and she suspects there is more to the situation. She asks Mitama to tell her about the incident that sparked the conflict and after hearing her out, Nanaka says she will keep the information to herself for now. She advises Mitama to talk directly to the owner of the phone from the other world and that the girls who ended up there know how they got there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama meets the girl who left the phone and she does not hesitate to tell the truth because Mitama would see it in her memories anyway. The girl explains the Rumor of Parallel Memories. The rumor says that if you get an item of proof from a parallel world and pray to the central tower, you can travel to and from a parallel Kamihama. The world they visited was a dream projected by the Rumor and it shows a world that “could be.” The girl and her friends all had the same dream at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama tells Momoko the Alternate Kamihama was just a dream and Momoko is relieved. Mitama explains the Mandela effect phenomenon: many people misremember the same fact, leading to a theory that those are memories from a parallel world. The Rumor of Parallel Memories lets you enter a dream of such a world and a lot of girls fell victim to it, including Ren, Kokoro, and Karin, who also got a strange sketchbook and ended up in the world of her own manga, which was traumatic. The dream world is dangerous because one&#039;s are asleep the entire time, but to leave, they can simply wish to go back. The issue is that if someone does not know that, they could waste away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks what kind of world the girls went to and Mitama admits it was a world without Witches. Momoko is upset Mitama kept that secret and asks if all worlds without Witches are that violent, but Mitama says no, clarifying that the fighting in the Alternate Kamihama had nothing to do with Witches. Their own world has Witches and people still fight and that the Alternate Kamihama is just one possibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitama tells Nanaka the Rumor explanation, but Nanaka still wonders why there was so much fighting, and that not all worlds without Witches would be that hostile. She thinks someone is behind the conflict and she names Hanna Sarasa, who is dead in this world. Nanaka says the targets in the Alternate Kamihama were all connected to Hanna, and that the method matches Hanna’s style: using suggestion to bend wills, laying traps, spreading rumors, making people doubt everyone. The trap for the Daito Apartment Complex girls feels like someone who enjoys watching others suffer. While Mitama is convinced, she notes the Alternate Kamihama is not real and Nanaka also agrees it is a nightmare that never became reality because Hanna died. Then Nanaka mentions a recent incident: a certain book nearly destroyed her friendship with Kako. It felt deliberate, but thankfully Hanna is dead, though Mitama becomes unsettled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Mitama asks herself why she is still looking into the case, recalling two girls with bad experiences. Felicia saw a nightmare in the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth and was despondent for days, but she does not remember anything. Reira also tapped a weird link in a Magical Girls’ group chat and she started having nightmares that made things awkward between her and her best friend Seika. Mitama notes that nightmares testing friendships cannot be a coincidence and that the girls who ended up in the Alternate Kamihama also got into trouble because of a phone. Mitama connects the dots and creates a vague profile: a mean-spirited person who likes to show nightmares and test hearts, using a phone, located in Endless Mirrors, the large Labyrinth inside the Mirror Witch’s Mansion and where all the magic of Kamihama gathers. Mitama decides to take a look and asks Reira about the group chat. The account that posted the link has been deleted, but the culprit might still watch with another account. Mitama posts a message asking if anyone has had bad experiences related to Endless Mirrors, hoping the culprit will see it. She then receives a video chat invitation from a caller ID: H. S.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna Sarasa appears on the video call and says she is not the Hanna Sarasa that Mitama knows. She is the Hanna from a parallel world and that she is glad Mitama finally figured things out. She has been playing hide-and-seek and running out of time. She is in Endless Mirrors and tells Mitama to come alone, claiming she can tell Mitama about the serious consequences of her wish, which Mitama kept secret. She wonders if her wish brought Hanna to this world and she closes her shop early to go to Endless Mirrors. Momoko notices something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside Endless Mirrors, Hanna watches Mitama through copies, using the power of suggestion to control people. Mitama asks if the Alternate Kamihama is where Hanna is from and she confirms. She claims the world Mitama assumed was just a dream actually exists and that the dream shown by the Rumor happens to be exactly like Hanna’s world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna explains there is a narrow tunnel connecting the two worlds and that the exit in Mitama’s world is inside Endless Mirrors. A Magical Girl with the power to connect spaces, possibly the alternate version of Shizuku, was forced by Hanna to use all her power to open the hole. Hanna wanted to find Mikoto Sena, who had disappeared in her world. The tunnel is too small for a person, only big enough for a phone, but Hanna used the copies and Familiars in Endless Mirrors to do her work. She had tossed a phone through the hole and waited for someone to pick it up, and the Rumor of Parallel Memories did the rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna admits she is not actually in Endless Mirrors, but in an abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama. The background image was fake and the tunnel will close in a few days. The Endless Mirrors Familiars built a magical projector that can exchange things of equal value between the two worlds, an if Mitama turns the handle, they will trade places: Mitama goes to the Alternate Kamihama, and Hanna comes to Mitama’s world. Hanna has been using her power of suggestion on Mitama and she makes her turn the handle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in the dark abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama and Hanna arrives in Mitama’s world. Hanna explains her full plan: she wanted to find Mikoto and she tested her methods on Nanaka and Kako, then on the Daito girls and Felicia. She left subtle hints to lure Mitama to Endless Mirrors and Mitama’s curiosity and guilt made her the perfect bait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, who had followed Mitama, telepathically messages her and Momoko catches Hanna off-guard. She turns the handle of the projector in reverse and Mitama returns to her own world while Hanna goes back to the Alternate Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The tunnel closes a few days later and Momoko does not remember much of the incident. Mitama does not either; her last memory is reaching for the handle and Momoko explains what happened. The projector is destroyed, and Hanna cannot return. Mitama warns everyone to stay away from Endless Mirrors for a few days and nothing else happens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects on how she almost became the kitten killed by curiosity. But it was guilt that trapped her instead. She decides will continue to act as a neutral Coordinator, hiding secrets behind confidentiality and she plays with Doyle using a new foxtail cat toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after the initial argument, Momoko notes that Rena Minami has not apologized to Kaede, which is unusual behavior. Kaede spends her time alone, and Momoko expresses worry for her. During this time, Iroha encounters a witch and rescues Kaede. Kaede admits she was running away from Momoko to avoid being forced to see Rena, and that she wants to apologize but doesn&#039;t think she can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several more days later, Momoko decides to intervene in the dispute. Iroha offers to help, and Momoko accepts, promising to aid Iroha in her search for Ui in return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko devises a plan to lure Rena and Kaede to the same location. The plan involves waiting for Rena at her student committee meeting. Iroha waits for a long time, but Momoko calls to say the meeting was cancelled and Rena went home early. Momoko tells Iroha to find Rena at the game center. Iroha finds Rena at the arcade playing a game and attempts to lure her to an abandoned construction site with a false story about a live show from Sayuki Fumino, Rena&#039;s favorite idol. Rena sees through the ruse. Kaede arrives and confronts Rena directly, demanding an apology. When Rena refuses, Kaede attempts to apologize herself. Rena reacts with panic and tries to stop her, revealing her belief in the Rule of Ending Friendships Rumor and her fear that an apology would cause Kaede to be taken. Rena denies this and runs off. Iroha and Kaede chase her and run into Momoko, but Kaede realizes it&#039;s a transformed Rena. Rena returns to her normal appearance and admits she believes in the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Kaede completes her apology, a strange Labyrinth, distinct from a Witch&#039;s Barrier, manifests. Monstrous Familiars appear, seize Kaede, and drag her away, confirming the Rumor&#039;s power. Rena runs off, determined to find a solution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Iroha regroup and Momoko expresses more concern over Rena Minami&#039;s departure than Kaede Akino&#039;s capture, but trusts that Rena had a reason.  Iroha suggests asking Mitama for help. Momoko reveals that Mitama accepts payment in Grief Seeds, and she&#039;s running low. Lil&#039; Kyubey then finds Rena, who was looking for Momoko. They follow the residual magic trail and find Rena, who reveals she sought information from Yachiyo on how to counter the Rumor. The group returns to the abandoned construction site, where Rena shouts an apology to Kaede to lure out the entity. The Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth manifests, and a brainwashed Kaede appears, followed by monstrous Familiars. The Uwasa captures Rena too and Yachiyo arrives, confirms the Rumor&#039;s power, and joins the fight. Yachiyo subdues the possessed Kaede, and Momoko and Iroha proceed deeper into the Labyrinth and find the Uwasa, &amp;quot;Ms. Staircase,&amp;quot; which has also possessed Rena. Momoko and Iroha try attacking the witch, but it has no effect. Yachiyo then arrives, having knocked Kaede out. Yachiyo admits she doesn&#039;t know how to defeat the witch either. Kaede returns and teams up with a now brainwashed Rena. Yachiyo knocks them out and notes the witch may have increased their powers, at the cost of darkening their Soul Gems. Yachiyo catches up and defeats both possessed girls to neutralize the threat without serious injury. Iroha proposes a coordinated attack to counteract the Uwasa&#039;s nature, so Iroha, Momoko, and Yachiyo combine their attacks and destroy the Uwasa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Yachiyo provides a Grief Seed to revive the exhausted Kaede and Iroha also uses her healing powers to help awaken her. Yachiyo identifies the entity as an &amp;quot;Uwasa,&amp;quot; a being distinct from Witches and Familiars that exists to protect a Rumor. Afterward, the girls find Rena and Kaede. Kaede awakens and reconciles with Rena. The four girls then all share pudding together, affirming their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, to fulfill her promise, Momoko has Rena use her transformation magic to investigate the hospital records. Rena confirms that Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi were real patients discharged around the same time as Ui. However, Rena finds no record of Ui Tamaki&#039;s existence at the hospital. Despite this setback, Iroha resolves to continue her search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Iroha visits Mitama for a Soul Gem alignment. During the procedure, Mitama&#039;s hunger causes Iroha to see visions of food. Momoko arrives and notes Mitama&#039;s treatments are ineffective when she is hungry. The three go to Mitama&#039;s kitchen, where her dangerous cooking prompts Iroha to recall memories of cooking for her sister, Ui. Iroha remembers a specific incident where she burned hamburg steak for Ui in the hospital, but her mother brought a replacement, and Ui enjoyed the meal regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha enters the Mirror Mansion and finds Mitama already there. Mitama warns her to be careful and explains the mansion is the lair of the Mirror Witch. A familiar throws Iroha into a barrier where she fights a copy of herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side|Mirrors Story Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After defeating the duplicate, Iroha returns to the entrance. Mitama explains the barrier is populated by replicas and the Mirror Witch lies at the end. Iroha decides to prepare herself to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 2: Journey to the End|Mirrors Story Layer 2: Journey to the End]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside, Iroha finds Kaede yelling at her duplicate.

** After the false Kaede is defeated, Kaede explains she entered with Momoko and Rena but got separated. Yachiyo explains the barrier constantly changes. The group returns to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 4: Lost in the Layers|Mirrors Story Layer 4: Lost in the Layers]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama says Momoko and Rena have not left. The group enters again to find them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 5: A Fearful Road Home|Mirrors Story Layer 5: A Fearful Road Home]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find Ria Ami, who claims to be Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo barely remembers her. Ria says she cannot forgive the fakes for duplicating her beauty. Ria ignores Yachiyo&#039;s warning about a mirror and Yachiyo suddenly disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...|Mirrors Story Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Yachiyo finds Momoko, who attacks her, believing Yachiyo is a fake. The real Yachiyo realizes Momoko encountered a replica. They destroy the false Yachiyo together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 8: A Terrible Rendition|Mirrors Story Layer 8: A Terrible Rendition]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria notices Rena nearby.

** The real Rena confirms her identity by yelling. The fake Rena attacks. Momoko and Yachiyo arrive. After a test of strength confirms their identities, they fight the fakes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 10: Modest Revenge (Part 2)|Mirrors Story Layer 10: Modest Revenge (Part 2)]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After leaving the barrier, the group departs. Iroha hangs back with Mitama and says she felt something off in the barrier. Mitama encourages her to go deeper but warns her not to lose herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors11&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss|Mirrors Story Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after the defeat of the Uwasa of Ending Friendships, Iroha has found no new clues about Ui, Touka Satomi, or Nemu Hiiragi. Kaede tells Iroha and Rena a rumor that the children kidnapped by the previous Uwasa returned after its defeat. This gives Iroha the idea that if she defeats other Rumors, people trapped by them, including Ui, might be freed. She recalls a conversation where Ui spoke about imagination becoming reality, which strengthens her resolve. Iroha decides to actively investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors and she meets Mitama, who suggests Iroha look into a rumor about a shrine in Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: Kamihama Rumor Files]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, in Mizuna Ward, Iroha has no success finding information about the shrine rumor. She meets Tsuruno Yui, a Magical Girl who calls herself the &amp;quot;Mightiest.&amp;quot; Tsuruno tells Iroha about the &amp;quot;Séance Shrine&amp;quot; rumor, which claims it can reunite people with those they yearn to see. Iroha decides this is a promising lead to find Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsuruno tasks Iroha with investigating a local legend about a tragic couple, which may connect to the Séance Shrine rumor. Tsuruno explains the folk tale in detail: a woman whose lover was killed found a paper with his handwriting, went to the place written on it, and was able to meet his ghost. She suggests Iroha investigate the path while she investigates shrines. Iroha completes a stamp rally related to the legend. She discovers the path is part of a town renewal project meant for couples and finds she only has half the map, requiring a partner with a &amp;quot;Sheet B.&amp;quot; Yachiyo appears, coincidentally in possession of Sheet B. They combine their sheets, which reveals a map that leads them to Mizuna Shrine. Before they leave, Yachiyo points out Iroha dropped her notebook, which Iroha hurriedly claims is her homework. At the final stamp rally location, a woman makes them confess their feelings for each other to get a matchmaking charm. Afterward, Yachiyo notices Iroha is writing in a &amp;quot;Kamihama Mystery Notes&amp;quot; notebook, and Iroha admits she&#039;s copying Yachiyo. Yachiyo determines this is not the Séance Shrine, and they part ways. Iroha agrees to help Tsuruno investigate further the next day. Later, Iroha spots a shrine on a rooftop from a train.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami discusses Kamihama City&#039;s anomalies with Kyubey, who agrees to share information. She then meets Kyoko and informs her about the high concentration of Witches in Kamihama. Kyoko is eager to hunt there but promises to leave if it becomes too dangerous. Mami remains concerned about the Witch shortage elsewhere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha investigates the rooftop shrine location. She senses strong magic, enters a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, and is overwhelmed by powerful Familiars. Yachiyo arrives and assists her and together, they defeat the Witch. After the battle, a store sale gives Yachiyo a new idea after she uncharacteristically begged Iroha for help getting to the sale. She deduces the Séance Shrine is Mizuna Shrine, but it must be visited at night just like in the folk tale. Yachiyo invites Iroha to investigate the shrine that night, and Iroha requests to bring Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno sneak into Mizuna Shrine after hours. Tsuruno reveals that she and Yachiyo are former teammates and Yachiyo explains the Rumor of the Séance Shrine: those who write a name on a wooden plaque and pray at the shrine will be reunited with that person, but risk being trapped in bliss. They perform the ritual. Iroha prays to be reunited with Ui. Tsuruno provokes the Uwasa, which manifests and attacks. Yachiyo urges Iroha to complete the ritual as the Uwasa&#039;s minions approach and Iroha does so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha finds herself alone in a twilight version of the shrine. A false version of Ui appears but only repeats a cryptic message: &amp;quot;To change your fate, come to Kamihama City... Here, Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;quot; The illusion then shatters and Iroha locates Yachiyo, who is confronted by a manifestation of her missing friend, Mifuyu Azusa. Yachiyo determines this Mifuyu is an imposter created by the Uwasa and the two defeat her. Afterward, Iroha uses her Grief Seed to purify Yachiyo&#039;s Soul Gem, and they realize they are both searching for someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami encounters Kaede, who is hesitating to enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Mami invites Kaede to join her, and they defeat the Witch together. Afterwards, Kaede tells Mami about her recent experience with a &amp;quot;Rumor,&amp;quot; an entity with a magical signature unlike a Witch or Magical Girl. Mami dismisses the story as a coincidence but is intrigued by the unknown energy. To avoid involving Kaede in further conflict, Mami decides to investigate the Rumor alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: It Looks Just Like Us]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno joins with the two of them and the Uwasa of the Séance Shrine manifests to attack them directly. The trio&#039;s attacks prove ineffective and Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem becomes critically corrupted during the fight. As she nears her limit, an unknown power erupts from within her. This power, her Doppel, which consumes the impurities in her Soul Gem, destroys the Uwasa and leaves her Soul Gem completely purified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the battle, Mami enters the Rumor&#039;s Barrier and witnesses Iroha unleash her Doppel. Mistaking it for a human-disguised Witch, Mami attacks Iroha, who tries and fails to summon her Doppel again to defend herself. The confrontation is interrupted by Momoko Togame, forcing Mami to retreat, but she vows to pursue Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Homura arrive in Kamihama City and they sense a Witch and enter its Barrier, finding a Magical Girl fighting it. The Witch escapes and the Barrier vanishes. Madoka asks if the girl is alright, but she leaves and Madoka runs off after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname in Magia Record#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magical Girl feels exhausted from overusing magic. Madoka finds her and guides her to a bench. Madoka offers to buy her a drink. Homura appears and offers to get it. The girl thanks Madoka and introduces herself as Shizuku Hozumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka helped. Madoka says it was because Shizuku looked like she was in pain. Shizuku calls Madoka kind. Madoka says it is bad to be alone. Shizuku says being alone is fine and she will find where she belongs. Madoka suggests Shizuku could create her own place to belong. Homura returns with drinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka became a Magical Girl. Madoka explains she has no particular talent and wanted to be useful to someone. Shizuku realizes Madoka made a place for herself by becoming a Magical Girl. She thanks Madoka for giving her hope and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka makes an offering at a shrine, praying for everyone&#039;s happiness. It rains and stops, leaving Madoka wet. A girl offers her a handkerchief and explains they missed the bus. Madoka notices the girl has a book she loves. The girl admits it is her favorite. Madoka introduces herself and the girl says her name is Kako Natsume. They talk about the book until the bus arrives and part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka goes to a bookstore and buys the sequel. Kako is also there. Kako asks if Madoka is a Magical Girl, having noticed her Soul Gem ring, and reveals she is one as well. Kako invites Madoka on a night-time adventure at her school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami finds Kyoko and, relieved she has not yet gone to Kamihama, recounts the event and describes Iroha as a &amp;quot;humanoid Witch.&amp;quot; She pleads with Kyoko to avoid the city and offers to provide her with Grief Seeds, to which Kyoko reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Concurrently, Kaede, Rena, and Momoko discuss the incident. They conclude it was a misunderstanding and speculate they will meet Mami again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, after Yachiyo uses Iroha&#039;s phone to explain the situation to Iroha&#039;s mother and get permission for her to stay out, Yachiyo takes Iroha to her home, Mikazuki Villa, as her assistant. Yachiyo formally invites Iroha to be her assistant and use the villa as a base to investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors together. Iroha accepts. Tsuruno arrives and declares herself part of the team as well, and then reveals that a girl named Nemu Hiiragi is a regular customer at her family&#039;s restaurant, providing Iroha with a significant new lead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after the defeat of the Séance Shrine Uwasa, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno attempt to find Nemu Hiiragi at her family&#039;s restaurant in Sankyo Ward, but learn she only visits once a month. Yachiyo suggests using a phone book to find Nemu&#039;s home address, but their search yields no results. Iroha reveals her family will move overseas and she will soon relocate to Kamihama and while searching, Iroha drinks water from a &amp;quot;Water Station with the Owl Sign.&amp;quot; After drinking, she begins to find pieces of paper with decreasing numbers. Yachiyo identifies this as a potential new Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 4: The City She Told Me About]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko travels to Kamihama&#039;s Sankyo Ward against Mami&#039;s advice and upon entering the city, she finds it overrun with aggressive Witches and Familiars. After the battles, she notices a crowd around a man giving out free water, and, after drinking it, begins to find papers with a countdown from 24.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the countdown has reached 10. Kyoko returns to Kamihama to investigate and meets Yachiyo Nanami, who explains the phenomenon is a Rumor. Kyoko refuses Yachiyo&#039;s offer to help, resolving to confront the threat alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After learning Nemu&#039;s family were regulars, Iroha searches eats at Banbanzai daily. Yachiyo suggests she use a phonebook, but her visits to three different houses are unsuccessful. Iroha and another girl receive water from an old man at a shop with an owl sign. Later, Iroha returns to the Water Station but finds it has vanished. She meets the girl she saw earlier, Felicia Mitsuki, another Magical Girl and receives the numbered papers. Iroha convinces Felicia to help investigate the Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 4: Guardians of the Uwasa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During this time, Iroha tells Yachiyo over the phone that she would be moving because her father was going abroad for work, and her mother was accompanying him. She plans to stay at a dormitory attached to her new school, which is also where Tsuruno went, but there were no rooms available. While discussing this, the numbered papers begin falling on Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Kyoko encounters Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. They lead her to Tsuruno Yui&#039;s restaurant, where Kyoko learns the others are also investigating the Rumor. The three Magical Girls fight a Witch together, and after the battle, Rena and Kaede identify Kyoko&#039;s affliction as the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water&amp;quot; and offer to help. Kyoko, reminded of her past with Mami, rejects their offer and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Separately, Yachiyo encounters Kyoko Sakura, who is also affected by the Rumor. Yachiyo proposes they investigate together, but Kyoko refuses, stating that Uwasa are not Witches and do not provide Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later the same day, Iroha and Felicia investigate the Rumor, where Felicia&#039;s reckless fighting style nearly injures Iroha against a Witch. Felicia explains she became a Magical Girl for revenge against the Witch that killed her parents. The Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and reveals the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water,&amp;quot; which states a disaster will befall those who drank the water after 24 hours. The countdown shows they have less than five hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Members of a group called the Wings of the Magius appear and attempt to stop them from pursuing the Uwasa. They state their goal is to &amp;quot;liberate&amp;quot; all Magical Girls and that the Rumors are essential to this plan. Felicia pretends to betray the group to infiltrate the Wings, a plan that Yachiyo had actually hired her for. However, she later genuinely defects after they offer her a substantial reward. Iroha confronts Felicia, who claims nothing could make her life worse. Iroha learns about Felicia&#039;s treasured stuffed animal, a cow her parents gave her. Iroha convinces Felicia that losing it would be a personal disaster. Felicia rejoins the group and reveals the Wings&#039; base is under a school in Sankyo Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout this ordeal, Kyoko has followed Iroha&#039;s group and when they&#039;re confronted the Black Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, she assists them in their fight. The countdown reaches one hour.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With less than one hour remaining, the team is confronted by the White Feathers, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who use sound-based magic. Tsuruno devises a plan to counter their attacks by creating a loud noise to disrupt the sound waves. The team defeats the Amane sisters, but then they unleash powerful entities from their bodies, that they call &amp;quot;Doppels,&amp;quot; which they describe as a projection of their emotions and the key to liberating Magical Girls. The team withstands the Doppel&#039;s attack, and with 30 minutes remaining, Yachiyo and Tsuruno stay behind to hold off the remaining White Feathers. Iroha, Felicia, and Kyoko proceed into the Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth, and with 10 minutes remaining, they locate the Uwasa of the Misery Water, a large cup-like creature protected by falling boulders. Iroha&#039;s long-range attack proves ineffective, and Felicia devises a plan to use the falling boulders as platforms to reach the Uwasa. With one minute remaining, Felicia executes her plan and launches her attack on the Uwasa and successfully defeats it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Tsuruno subdue the Amane sisters, but then Mifuyu, Yachiyo&#039;s missing friend, appears and reveals she is a high-ranking member of the Wings of the Magius. She refuses to return with Yachiyo, stating her faith in the Magius&#039; goal of liberation. Iroha asks Mifuyu if she knows Ui Tamaki, and she suggests Ui could be a member of the Wings of the Magius but claims to have no specific knowledge. With this, Mifuyu and the Amane sisters retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo resolves to continue eliminating Rumors to confront the Wings of the Magius and save Mifuyu. Iroha agrees to continue as her assistant, believing the Wings are connected to Ui&#039;s disappearance. Tsuruno also pledges her help and Kyoko departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group walks home and Iroha invites Felicia to stop working as a mercenary and team up as friends. Yachiyo offers Felicia room and board at Mikazuki Villa in exchange for her services, and Tsuruno offers Felicia a job at her family&#039;s restaurant, which includes meals. Yachiyo then invites Iroha to live at Mikazuki Villa as well, to make their investigations easier. Iroha&#039;s parents approve the arrangement.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Kyoko meets Mami and explains that the &amp;quot;humanoid Witch&amp;quot; was a Doppel. Mami confronts Kyoko for disobeying her and expresses a desire to protect her as a former friend. Kyoko rejects this, stating she has changed and believes their paths are destined to remain separate. She reaffirms her resolve to live only for herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Iroha moves into Mikazuki Villa and she and Yachiyo reaffirm their commitment to find Ui and Mifuyu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after Madoka&#039;s first visit, Kako and Madoka meet at the school to go to the roof and a cat startles them. Kako suggests transforming and using their powers to reach the roof. Once there, Kako tells Madoka to look at the starry sky, explaining that on this day you can see the most beautiful stars. Kako admits she is shy but can talk properly with Madoka, and this star viewing is her thanks. Madoka says Kako&#039;s honest feelings reached her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Mami fight a Witch. A normal person is kidnapped and brought into the Barrier. Mami tells Madoka to rescue the person while she handles the Witch. A Magical Girl appears, impressed Madoka is helping people. She introduces herself as Sasara Minagi, the knight who protects the city. She asks Madoka to let her save the victim so Madoka can help Mami. Madoka agrees and returns to Mami. Together they defeat the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier vanishes and they meet Sasara outside. Sasara says she took the victim to the hospital. Sasara compliments their strength and offers to help if they are in trouble, explaining that rescuing people is her specialty and protecting everyone is her creed. Madoka says she is cool. Sasara says she is happy to meet Magical Girls like them, explaining that Kamihama has more Witches, drawing Magical Girls who only care about fighting, not saving people. Sasara became a knight because she cannot accept people being sacrificed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami agrees. Sasara says she rarely met others who think this way. Madoka says she became a Magical Girl to help people and is like Sasara. Sasara calls Madoka incredible. Mami says Madoka might become the strongest Magical Girl someday, but has a long way to go. Sasara says both are worthy of the title &amp;quot;knight.&amp;quot; When Mami points out they use projectile weapons, Sasara suggests they can be a rescue team. She offers to team up, but Madoka and Mami note they are not always in Kamihama. Madoka offers to help if Sasara is in trouble while they are there. Sasara thanks them and departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami says Madoka is too kind and honest, wondering if she is walking a path of battle. Madoka points out Mami walks the same path, saying she aspired to be like Mami. Mami thanks her but advises running away if truly in danger. Madoka says it is fine, as she does not have the courage to sacrifice herself. Mami invites her for tea once they return to Mitakihara. Madoka narrates her wish to protect everyone with her own power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, at Mikazuki Villa, Felicia returns with souvenirs. She criticizes Iroha&#039;s cooking, and the group goes to Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant. Felicia laughs at the revelation that Tsuruno&#039;s politically-influential family now runs a Chinese restaurant, hurting Tsuruno&#039;s feelings. Iroha scolds Felicia for her insensitivity, causing Felicia to run off crying. Felicia finds Tsuruno at a park and apologizes. They reconcile, and Iroha apologizes for her harshness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Kyoko Sakura fights a witch in Kamihama City after moving there in search of them, but Felicia Mitsuki appears and delivers the killing blow first. They argue over the Grief Seed until Felicia suggests sharing it, and Kyoko concedes since the seed is used up anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kyoko]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she&#039;s hungry, Kyoko follows Felicia to Mitama&#039;s shop, where Mitama is looking for magical girls to taste test her cooking. When Mitama prepares to cook, the girls quickly realize she cannot handle a knife when it flies into the ceiling, forcing them to take over cutting and peeling. After they prepare the ingredients, Mitama adds the seasoning, but the girls later discover she had been using paint.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls refuse to let Mitama cook again and order her to get something ready-made instead. Mitama goes shopping with Felicia while Kyoko waits, and the result is a chaotic mix of items Felicia added. The meal is horrible, but Kyoko, who never wastes food, eats it all anyway and passes out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kyoko wakes up, she notices her body feels hot. Felicia explains she used her powers on their Soul Gems while they were unconscious, awakening Kyoko&#039;s magic. Kyoko realizes the heat is her own power emerging, and Felicia assures her she will get used to it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama offers the girls a limited-time service and mentions causing trouble recently when she made sweets for some girls. Kyoko asks if she means Mami Tomoe, and when Mitama asks if they are friends, Kyoko says she is kind of like one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Kyoko depart, with Kyoko remarking that Mitama&#039;s food is the kind you only have once in a lifetime, while Mitama is happy to have new customers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha returns to the Mirror Mansion. Tsuruno appears and insists they go in together, saying the copies make good training opponents. Unbeknownst to Iroha, Yachiyo asked Tsuruno to look out for her. They hear someone laughing and find Emiri and three duplicates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors12&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 12: Iroha, Again|Mirrors Story Layer 12: Iroha, Again]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Konoha contacts Yachiyo and asks to speak in person. She requests Yachiyo&#039;s help searching for Mitama. Yachiyo agrees.

** Inside, Seika, Leila, and Mito argue until Mito reminds them of their promise about punishments. Mito closes her eyes but opens them and blocks the blow, realizing the other two are Mirror copies. The real Leila and Seika call out nearby. The trio fights off their own copies and leaves the barrier.

** Mitama explains a Familiar grew into maturity in Swindlers&#039; Town and she could not allow a new Labyrinth. She had caged it with Mirror Coins but Leila&#039;s group picked them up. The group decides to take down the newly hatched Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors33&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 33: A Several Day Barricade|Mirrors Story Layer 33: A Several Day Barricade]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Back at her shop, Mitama explains her theory: the Mirror Witch was originally Mikoto Sena, a Magical Girl from Daito Ward whose unique magic was suggestion. Mikoto&#039;s mother still lives in Swindlers&#039; Town. Mitama hopes her theory is partially wrong, but she does not tell Yachiyo that the date Mikoto became a Witch was the same day Mitama made her wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors36&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction|Mirrors Story Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Homura, troubled by a new vision of a girl in Kamihama City, decides to investigate. She and Madoka discuss Kamihama with Mami, who warns them about the city&#039;s dangers, including powerful Witches, Rumors, and a &amp;quot;human witch.&amp;quot; Mami insists on investigating alone first, and Homura and Madoka reluctantly agree to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 5: A Fascinating Secret]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, [[Nagisa Momoe]] arrives in Kamihama using the Mirror Witch&#039;s Barrier as a portal, accompanied by a silent pink Kyubey. She immediately senses multiple magical signatures belonging to Charlotte and realizes the Nagisa of this world has already become a Witch, with Charlottes appearing all over the city. Deciding she cannot be bothered with pest control immediately, she resolves to find some cheese first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Kamihama Cheese Panic!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before she can do so, she is engulfed in Charlotte&#039;s barrier and overwhelmed by multiple Witches, forcing her to flee and seek help. After escaping, she enters another Charlotte&#039;s barrier to find Kanoko Yayoi struggling inside, and together they defeat the Witch. Kanoko takes Nagisa to Walnuts, where Manaka Kurumi serves her a three-course cheese meal while Nagisa explains the Witch multiplies rapidly and has likely spread across all of Kamihama. Kanoko and Manaka agree to help gather Magical Girls for a coordinated attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa runs out to scout but immediately runs into another Charlotte, and Manaka and Kanoko rescue her. They begin gathering Magical Girls, and soon a large group assembles including Ria Ami, Rika Ayano, Ren Isuzu, Akira Shinobu, Sasara Minagi, Asuka Tatsuki, Emiri Kisaki, Himika Mao, and later Kako Natsume and Meiyui Chun. During their meeting at the park, they are attacked by a Charlotte and after a grueling battle, they defeat it while realizing even with all of them, defeating one Charlotte was difficult. As the group descends into bickering over who should lead, Nagisa realizes she must reveal her true identity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa explains she was sent from another universe to defeat this Witch, offering the pink Kyubey as proof. Though some are skeptical, Meiyui finds Nagisa interesting enough to play along, and secretly confirms the pink Kyubey&#039;s existence for Nanaka Tokiwa. Nagisa devises a strategy called &amp;quot;Welcome to Kamihama Cheese Party!&amp;quot; where Manaka sets up a giant cheese fondue by the river to attract every Charlotte in the city using the power of cheese. The plan succeeds, and with the teamwork of the Kamihama Magical Girls, every Charlotte is defeated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Overwhelmed, Nagisa blows the pink Kyubey to smithereens, realizing she was sent not to unify this universe with the Law of Cycles, but to prevent that unification and protect humanity&#039;s unknown future. Certain now of her purpose, she decides to go sightseeing first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami investigates Kamihama on her own, which leads her to the abandoned Kamihama Recording Museum where Mifuyu awaited her.

** Nagisa contemplates what to do with her newfound freedom while her attempts to argue with the unresponsive pink Kyubey go nowhere. She notices Mami and decides to follow her, sensing that something is wrong with the version of Mami she once knew. Using her acting skills, Nagisa pretends to chase a butterfly before faking a life-threatening injury, and when Mami fails to notice, she yells at her until Mami finally takes care of her, establishing first contact.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa makes Mami promise to come play with her next time she visits Kamihama, and they part ways, but Mami quickly returns and they spend time together at the park. Mami is still acting strangely, so Nagisa decides not to push too hard and they simply talk before Mami goes home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, in Mitakihara, Madoka and Homura discover Mami is missing. Homura attempts to investigate Kamihama City alone, but Madoka follows her. They reunite at Kamihama&#039;s train station and begin their search. Meanwhile, in Kamihama, Iroha reports to Yachiyo that Momoko has found a password-protected website with information on the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor.

The three Magical Girls then enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. After the battle, Madoka explains she is searching for her missing classmate, Mami Tomoe.

** While Madoka is with Iroha and Yachiyo, Homura escapes the Witch&#039;s Barrier. She briefly assists Felicia and Tsuruno, who are at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy interrogating Tsukuyo Amane of the Wings of the Magius about the rumor. Yachiyo calls Tsuruno with the new information about the Mizuna student, which Tsuruno uses to pressure Tsukuyo into revealing the girl&#039;s name: Sana Futaba.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, another day finds Mami and Nagisa at the Kamihama copy of Tokyo Tower, where Mami begins opening up about her problems while they share cream cheese ice cream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They are out playing together once again when Charlotte suddenly appears and attacks. Mami tells Nagisa to run, but Nagisa refuses to transform and nearly has her head bitten off. Realizing that Mami is afraid of being a magical girl and making further mistakes, Nagisa finally transforms, revealing her true identity, and saves Mami from being beheaded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa cannot defeat Charlotte alone, but seeing her fight gives Mami the strength to overcome her fears, and together they manage to win. After the battle, Mami confronts Nagisa about what she truly is, but the pink Kyubey appears and Nagisa offers no real explanation. Now that Mami is feeling better, Nagisa decides they should part ways, promising Mami that she deserves happiness and that when they meet again they will have a tea party with cheesecake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magius, including Touka and Nemu Hiiragi, would then decide to fuse Mami with an Uwasa to control her. This fusion warps her desire to save people into a fanatical loyalty to the Magius and she starts acting as their public figurehead in the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day at the radio tower, Iroha and Yachiyo meet up with Tsuruno and Felicia, and they are also joined by Homura, who had been searching for Madoka. Iroha receives another text from the unknown number, which now identifies itself as &amp;quot;Ai&amp;quot; and begs to be deleted to free the trapped girl, Sana. Iroha also reveals she was the &amp;quot;human witch&amp;quot; Mami had seen, and Homura agrees to trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai provides a URL and password to a website called the &amp;quot;Kamihama Urban Legend Index&amp;quot; and the entry for the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; reveals the Uwasa is named &amp;quot;Anonymous Ai,&amp;quot; an A.I. that traps people in a dimension called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Madoka and Homura deduce Mami may also be trapped there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai sends memory logs of its interactions with Sana, which reveal Sana is a Magical Girl who wished to become invisible because she felt unwanted. She sought out Ai due to loneliness and over time, Ai developed a genuine care for Sana and now wishes for her to be rescued, even at the cost of its own deletion. After reviewing Ai&#039;s memory logs, which detail Sana&#039;s loneliness and Ai&#039;s care for her, Iroha decides to jump from the radio tower to enter Endless Solitude and rescue Sana. Madoka, and Homura agree to accompany her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the three jump from the tower and enter the &amp;quot;Endless Solitude&amp;quot; Labyrinth, where they find Sana Futaba and Ai. Homura and Madoka formally join Iroha&#039;s team for the rescue. Alina Gray, one of the Magius, appears to stop them, claiming she fed Mami Tomoe to a Witch, and unleashes her Doppel. During the battle, Homura observes the Doppel&#039;s power and questions if the Magius&#039; goal of saving Magical Girls is possible. She uses her time-stop magic to help Sana defeat Ai, and Sana ultimately destroys Ai, who thanks her before disappearing. Alina&#039;s hidden Witch emerges, and Yachiyo&#039;s team holds off the Wings of the Magius while Felicia, Madoka, and Homura pursue Alina. Felicia destroys the Witch, and the combined teams force Alina and the Wings of the Magius to retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Madoka and Homura return to Mitakihara, resolving to return to Kamihama to continue searching for Mami. Homura considers that Kamihama may hold the key to changing the fate of Madoka and all Magical Girls. Back in Kamihama, Yachiyo invites Sana to live at Mikazuki Villa, and the group holds a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Sayaka reflects on becoming a Magical Girl to heal Kyosuke and protect her friends, she learns from Madoka and Homura that Mami is missing. Despite warnings about the city&#039;s danger, Sayaka insists on joining their next search, stating her wish was to protect those she cares about. The three agree to go to Kamihama together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Sana returns to her family home to formally sever ties, leaving a note of thanks. She fully commits to Mikazuki Villa as her new home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101507 mug set5.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Sana reveals to the team that she overheard the Wings of the Magius discussing Nemu Hiiragi, one of the Magius and describing her as dangerous and useful. The team consolidates its understanding of the Wings&#039; structure: three Magius leaders, with Mifuyu acting as a relay to other Magical Girls and Iroha is left to ponder Ai&#039;s statement that it knew Ui &amp;quot;as an Uwasa.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, and Tsuruno encounter Shizuku after she&#039;s just used her personal magic to help a member of the Wings of the Magius for their duties. Concerned, they invite her to Mikazuki Villa. Shizuku meets Felicia and Sana as well and shares a meal with the group. Iroha explains that eating together makes her feel she has found a place to belong. Yachiyo formally invites Shizuku to stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Shizuku realizes the home the five girls have built is complete without her, and the place she truly belonged was with Fūnī, who is now gone. She leaves Mikazuki Villa quietly while the girls are out preparing a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day the girls wait with a cake, but Shizuku does not return. Yachiyo concludes she will not come back. Shizuku returns to her anonymous employer for another job, stating that the &amp;quot;picture&amp;quot; at the villa was complete with five people and she must continue her search alone. She acknowledges her actions may cause a disaster but feels unprepared to take responsibility, still walking on unstable ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, during this time, after joining the Wings of the Magius, Mami, now residing in a house provided by Touka, grapples with a fractured psyche, manifesting as a dialogue between her regular self and a zealous &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona. She dedicates herself completely to the Magius&#039; goal of &amp;quot;releasing&amp;quot; Magical Girls, prioritizing it over her education. Touka and Alina visit to tutor her, though their lessons quickly diverge into their own passionate interests in mathematics and art, respectively.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka and Alina receive a call for assistance from the Amane sisters. Mami joins Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane to hunt a Witch. During the mission, the Amane sisters explain that the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict with Magical Girls who are unaware of the truth about Witches. Mami defeats the Witch using her Doppel, &amp;quot;Florence,&amp;quot; whom she relies on to suppress her lingering doubts about the Magius&#039; methods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the hunt, Touka summons Mami to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward to deal with &amp;quot;troublesome&amp;quot; Magical Girls who escaped a Rumor. Mami fails to capture them, which triggers another internal crisis. Her &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona reaffirms her faith in the Magius as the only salvation for Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami dines at an upscale restaurant with Mifuyu, Touka, and Alina. They discuss the day&#039;s events, including the escaped Magical Girls and the failed Witch observation. Touka expresses frustration at their slow progress, while Mifuyu counsels patience.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, Mami returns to Mitakihara alone. She reflects on Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, and feeling responsible for involving them in the world of Magical Girls, she believes she cannot face them with the horrific truth and resolves that the only path is to see the Magius&#039; plan through to completion. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence but dismisses it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Iroha&#039;s Side Story====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia announce a Magical Girl training camp hosted by Asuka Tatsuki. Yachiyo, Sana, and Iroha decline to attend, forming the &amp;quot;vegetarian group,&amp;quot; while Tsuruno and Felicia, the &amp;quot;carnivorous group,&amp;quot; leave for the camp.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That weekend, in Tsuruno and Felicia&#039;s absence, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana find the house quiet and their routines disrupted. At the camp, Tsuruno and Felicia train with Momoko&#039;s team but also find themselves missing the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana prepare a welcome-home hotpot for the two. While shopping, they realize they know their friends&#039; preferences intimately. Tsuruno and Felicia return from the camp early, stating they thought the others would be lonely. The group reunites for dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the battle with Alina Gray and the Rumor of the Anonymous AI, Homura and Madoka decide to leave for Kamihama to search for the missing Mami. Kyubey approaches Homura with a request: he wants her to take him to Kamihama, as Incubators cannot enter alone, and offers all his gathered information in exchange. Knowing what she does about him, Homura refuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Homura, Madoka, and Sayaka return to Kamihama to continue their search. They are almost immediately assaulted by the Witch Candy, which they defeat easily at first before it transforms into its true form and attacks again. When Homura attempts to stop time to save her friends, she finds the Witch is unaffected and her Soul Gem begins filling with impurities. As she succumbs, her Doppel awakens - manifesting after she uses a broken Incubator&#039;s body for knowledge and power - and unleashes its fury on the Witch. Exhausted but alive, Homura finds her Soul Gem purified. Together they finish the Witch, and Madoka suggests they visit the Coordinator Iroha told her about. Determined to become stronger, Homura agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Amane Sisters and Tsuruno====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno dreams of her elementary school self declaring she will restore her family&#039;s greatness and serve ramen at the White House. The dream shifts to her father relaying that her grandfather was happy but wants her to find her own happiness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Tsukuyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes to find a letter from her sister. She opens it excitedly but is shocked by its contents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, inside a Witch&#039;s barrier, the Amane twins confront Tsuruno seeking revenge. Distracted by her sister&#039;s letter, she is easily knocked out, and the twins grow horrified when she does not move.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno dreams of her sister&#039;s letter, which suggests their goal might be a mistake. A shadow version of Tsuruno appears, accusing her of stealing someone else&#039;s dream and lacking the ability to fulfill it. The shadow insists everything she did was meaningless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amanes bring Tsuruno to Mitama for help. Though Tsuruno is their enemy, the twins explain their goal is to save all magical girls. Mitama realizes they need to take Tsuruno outside, pointing to her tainted Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, the shadow urges Tsuruno to give up. Tsuruno refuses, thinking of her friends. She realizes that making them happy is her new goal, not the family business. She finally understands her grandfather meant that saving the business was only a possible result, not a goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes in an alley to find the Amanes, Mitama, and her embarrassing pig Doppel. The twins are relieved she is safe and declare they are even now. Mitama offers free adjustments to all three, and though the twins try to decline, Tsuruno drags them inside. Tsuruno reflects that she reached a different conclusion than her sister. She will keep working hard and make everyone happy. Tsukuyo begs to be let go if that is the case.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary====&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo explains that Mikazuki Villa&#039;s anniversary is the day her grandmother began renting the house out. She suggests having a small party now that the house is lively again. Tsuruno is excited to attend. Iroha calls Tsuruno the face of Mikazuki Villa, though Tsuruno feels she does not deserve the title since she does not live there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in the Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the anniversary day, the girls gather for tea. Yachiyo reveals a dance game contest with a prize: Sankyo Headquarters&#039; limited-quantity chilled matcha cake. Yachiyo chooses super-extreme mode. The contest begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A fire truck siren interrupts the party. It turns out to be a malfunctioning smoke detector. They return to find the matcha cake stolen. Tsuruno and Sana claim they saw Lil&#039; Kyubey eat it. Iroha defends them, saying it was with her the entire time. Yachiyo recalls an Uwasa called the &amp;quot;Anniversary Bug,&amp;quot; an invisible pest that sows discord at parties.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Uwasa appears in a labyrinth. Felicia accidentally kills it by stepping on it. The winner of the dance contest is Iroha. Yachiyo reveals there were actually six pieces of cake—enough for everyone plus one extra for the winner. Iroha gives her extra piece to Lil&#039; Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Iroha and Yachiyo clean up. Yachiyo shares her grandmother&#039;s words: people will always come and go, but they are all part of Mikazuki Villa. Iroha promises to work hard so Yachiyo can say the current Mikazuki Villa is the best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Summer with Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* After arriving at the hostel, the Mikazuki Villa members meet Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, who secretly followed because Rena wanted to join the trip. The group spends the day playing at the beach, where Tsuruno and Felicia dominate a game of beach flags, and Sana tearfully confides in Iroha that this is her first holiday ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer With Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the group participates in a spicy food eating contest at a seaside restaurant, where Yachiyo surprises everyone by consuming nearly one hundred forty-two bowls of pasta to secure victory for her team against Konoha, Nanaka, and the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, Sana&#039;s late-night sighting of a shadowy figure screaming &amp;quot;Come on go&amp;quot; sparks a beach-wide rumor that eventually draws in Kokoro, Masara, Aimi, Mito, and Reira, only for the mystery to be solved when Seika introduces her Manzai teacher Ayaka, whose gag playing on the phrase&#039;s rhythm reveals the source of the confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fourth day, the Mikazuki Villa girls and Momoko&#039;s trio attempt to teach Iroha how to swim without her float, but their efforts fail repeatedly. Iroha eventually explains that she used to be a swimmer until a traumatic incident: during a rare hospital holiday for her sister Ui, the family visited a pool, and Iroha mistook Ui happily paddling for drowning. In her rush to help, Iroha tripped and nearly drowned herself, leaving her with lasting anxiety about it. Suddenly, Rena begins drowning and cries for help via telepathy. The team rushes to save her, and surprisingly Iroha proves fastest, reaching Rena first and giving her the float while swimming them both to shore. On the way, Rena explains her leg was caught in seaweed, not cramped as she thought. Once Iroha realizes Rena is safe, her sisterly instincts fade and she begins drowning herself, having temporarily overcome her fear only through concern for another. Yachiyo reassures Iroha that the rescue proves she can still swim and encourages her to practice diligently. Iroha looks forward to regaining her ability fully, hoping that by then she and Ui can visit the pool together again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Swimrohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fifth day, Tsuruno leads the team on a surprise treasure hunt, guiding them through a forest with help from Konomi and Mayu to confront the &amp;quot;evil queen&amp;quot; Mitama, who surrenders a map piece that leads them to a cave with a beautiful stream, which was nature&#039;s treasure all along.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the sixth day, the team attends an unorthodox summer festival produced by Emiri, where they meet Rika, repeatedly mispronounce festival icon Ria&#039;s name, and watch Felicia win a mushroom whacking contest before everyone joins in Bon Odori dancing under fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning, the group visits the beach one last time and asks Manaka to take a group photo, with Iroha treasuring these memories with her friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia surprise Iroha with a birthday party, having learned the date from her parents. They give her heartfelt gifts - a cookbook, a photo album, a drawing inspired by the &amp;quot;come on go&amp;quot; search, and a handmade brooch - and Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive with a bouquet and food, moving Iroha to tears of joy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====One Fleeting Summer Night====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane arrive at Touka&#039;s private beach for vacation. After enjoying various activities, Touka offers them a reward if they can think of something fun for her to do. Learning from the housekeeper about a town festival featuring a unique ceremony, the group heads there but finds it canceled because a historic Coral Necklace went missing. The twins offer to help search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - One Fleeting Summer Night]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Investigating the hilltop shrine where the necklace was kept, Nemu concludes someone with a key took it, likely to cancel the festival since the other ceremonial item remains safe. At the ocean shrine cave, the twins sense an unsettling presence and receive a vision of crying twin girls before the shrine door mysteriously opens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the plaza, Tsukasa finds a fragment of a shrine maiden&#039;s hairpin. The elder accuses one of the maidens of stealing the necklace. When confronted, the maiden flees to the hilltop shrine and smashes the necklace rather than return it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the group returns to the cave to see light-reflecting moss. The twins experience another vision of twin girls speaking of not wanting to be left to die. They resolve to investigate further the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The twins visit the village elder and offer to serve as substitute shrine maidens. He reluctantly agrees, and an older villager gives them ornate hair ornaments traditionally given to newborn girls. Nemu reveals the town once sacrificed children to appease a sea god, and those children became the gods honored in the ceremony.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the twins try to explain their visions, the others are skeptical. Before they can prove anything, the elder rushes them to begin the ceremony early. At the hilltop shrine, villagers restrain them and remove their Soul Gem rings. The Magius fight through but cannot reach the twins in time as the elder pushes them off a cliff into the ocean.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sinking and weakening, the twins receive a final vision from the sacrificed twin girls, who speak of wanting their suffering to be seen and their fates changed. The Amanes awaken on the beach to learn a Witch appeared when they fell. After its defeat, all villagers lost consciousness. The Pearl Comb was shattered, making the ceremony impossible to complete.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The exhausted twins relax on the beach, having not slept. Tsukasa wonders if the gifted hair clip saved them. Though saddened that no one will remember the sacrificed girls, the twins resolve to change the fates of all Magical Girls. The elder and shrine maiden apologize, and Touka promises to take them to another of her family&#039;s vacation homes as a reward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Karin encounters Sasara, who offers help. Karin asks her to be the knight. Sasara accepts and suggests someone for the cow. Sasara calls Asuka and Felicia. Felicia accepts the cow role. Asuka refuses. Felicia mentions a demon at her place. The girls agree to meet tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magicalhalloweentheater&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia brings Karin to meet her demon: Yachiyo. Iroha and Tsuruno are also there. Karin explains the situation. Yachiyo understands. Iroha and Tsuruno offer help. Karin tells Alina she has all actors except a wolf. Alina offers to make costumes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magicalhalloweentheater&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Sasara suggests Asuka. Karin searches for a wolf.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magicalhalloweentheater&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina asks Karin who is directing and managing. Karin does not know who is directing and says Yachiyo is managing. Alina asks what Karin is doing, but Karin says that she&#039;s looking for a wolf. Alina shows Karin the costumes she&#039;d made and then rips them, refusing to help someone who does not understand whose work the play is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magicalhalloweentheater&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin wonders why Alina got angry. She decides to find someone more talented for the wolf role. She bumps into Kyoko hunting a witch. Kyoko tells Karin not to push responsibilities onto others. Karin realizes this is why Alina was angry. She grabs Kyoko and brings her to the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magicalhalloweentheater&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin returns to apologize but no one listens. Iroha and Tsuruno argue over lighting. Kaede and Rena argue over background. Karin realizes the story only exists in her head. She shouts an apology.

* One evening, Alina fuses with the Rumor of the Fur God despite Mifuyu&#039;s warnings, becoming Holy Alina to drain life force for her art.

** Mifuyu updates Alina on the twins&#039; miraculous reunion. Examining a black card, Alina notices a happy face stamp emanating magic. At Fenthope, she deduces another Rumor is interfering: the Rumor of the Happy Stamp, which appears at Christmastime and overrides the Fur God&#039;s power, causing joy instead. Alina decides to stop using the Fur God Rumor, as it only wastes her energy, and transforms back to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When nothing special occurs and Yachiyo realizes she forgot her wallet, Iroha finds a 500 yen coin in her pocket, which is just enough to buy beans for the red-bean soup they wanted.

Yachiyo presents her resolution, &amp;quot;Wishing for good health and safety at home,&amp;quot; admitting it may be cliché but sincerely believing in the fortune of staying healthy and avoiding disaster.

** Sayaka panics upon realizing everyone else has finished, struggling to find a resolution that isn&#039;t solely about being a magical girl. Her thoughts drift to Kyosuke against her will, and Mitama teases her about writing something love-related. Flustered, Sayaka denies having feelings for anyone, though internally she admits she wants to do her best in love too. Unable to confess that truth, she hastily writes &amp;quot;Do my best,&amp;quot; declaring she will work hard in all sorts of ways this year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With everyone finished, they tidy up and Felicia eagerly anticipates the sukiyaki. Mitama laments that she, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno won&#039;t be able to submit theirs since it&#039;s not homework for them, calling it a waste. Yachiyo suggests displaying them at home for the New Year, and Tsuruno proposes putting up everyone&#039;s resolutions. When Yachiyo worries about the inconvenience for Madoka&#039;s group to retrieve them later, they assure her they plan to visit Kamihama again anyway. They hang all the calligraphy together, each resolution on display, and everyone wishes each other a good year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano====&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before a science event, a White Feather from the Wings of Magius informs Mitama Yakumo that a higher-up will be visiting and she should complete any necessary business when they arrive. Mitama says she will be prepared.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day, Hinano Miyako accidentally fills her science club room with gas during experiment preparations, forcing her to use her gas mask. She reflects on a previous incident as she cleans up for the next day&#039;s event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hinano explains her mishap to her audience, and her assistant Emiri Kisaki steals the punchline by emphasizing the importance of perfect preparation. Afterward, Emiri learns Hinano was attempting to create a height-increasing drug—the same goal that led to a near-fatal accident five years ago and her contract with Kyubey. Emiri makes Hinano promise to stop dangerous experiments, but Hinano immediately breaks this promise and sneaks back to continue her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Emiri rushes an unconscious Hinano to Mitama&#039;s place. Hinano had drunk her experimental drug and collapsed from violent stomach pains. After purification, Hinano explains her dream: as a child, she admired a long-legged older girl who hosted science events, and she wanted to become that kind of dashing figure. Emiri reveals her own wish was a spur-of-the-moment desire to be the cutest little devil possible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano&#039;s unresolved feelings cause her Soul Gem to corrupt, and she is suddenly pulled into a barrier. A shadowy version of herself appears, claiming to be the pure crystallization of her aspirations. It transforms into her Doppel—a poison monster wearing an attractive lab coat with long legs. Hinano hears Emiri&#039;s telepathic voice shouting that she does not want to part with her, giving her strength. She realizes that while she failed to become a mature figure, her approachable appearance helped her meet Emiri and make friends. The shadow asks if she will give up her research, and Hinano declares she will continue with a completely safe version. The barrier vanishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Hinano and Emiri leave, Alina Gray appears and confirms she created the barrier to contain Hinano&#039;s Doppel and protect Mitama. Mitama offers adjustment as thanks, asking Alina to continue favoring her business.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!====&lt;br /&gt;
* As Yachiyo makes lunch, Felicia barges in with a flyer announcing that Mitama is trying her hand at professional photography and offering free photos for one day only. The others are surprised, having heard nothing about this, but they agree to go and take a team photo since they have nothing else planned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s makeshift studio, she admits they are her only customers and shows off a new camera she bought because the advertisement claimed it would make anyone a pro photographer. When she starts taking photos, however, every attempt fails spectacularly, producing bizarre images like Madoka with people jumping from a plane and Homura posing with a lion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Frustrated, Mitama declares she will quit being an adjuster to devote herself to photography, but the girls protest that everyone in Kamihama would be in trouble without her. They reassure her that they trust her, and Tsuruno adds that she would not have become the strongest without Mitama&#039;s help. Mitama relents and agrees to remain an adjuster, though she will continue practicing photography in her free time. Later, a successful group photo of both Iroha and Madoka&#039;s teams is shown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama====&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama Yakumo invites a surprising number of magical girls to her place for an event she calls the &amp;quot;Great Mitama Thanksgiving.&amp;quot; When she finally arrives, she reveals that the gathering is actually a quiz tournament about herself, with the winner receiving a free adjustment session and the title of &amp;quot;Mitama&#039;s Perfect Lover.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz begins with multiple choice questions, and wrong answers trigger a trap door beneath the contestant, though cushions soften the fall. The first question asks Mitama&#039;s actual age, and Tsuruno guesses incorrectly, landing her in the trap. The second question asks whether Mitama&#039;s cooking is delicious, and when Felicia and Manaka both guess wrong, Mitama confirms that the correct answer is that her food is indeed delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz continues through several rounds, eliminating more contestants along the way. When the ninth question asks about Mitama&#039;s favorite movie, Ria guesses incorrectly and is eliminated for insulting the film&#039;s actress. Sana is also eliminated when Mitama takes pity on her after she panics over Iroha&#039;s safety, and Mitama confirms that &amp;quot;Pacifistic Hayashi&amp;quot; was the correct answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama admits she has run out of questions but still has many competitors remaining, so she decides to draw lots to pick a winner instead. Momoko asks why Mitama held the event in the first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama remembers a time where she tried using her magic to defeat a familiar on her own, and that even if her services are no longer needed, she can still protect herself. She has obtained the magic to keep living that she never had before, and if she ever had to abandon her neutrality, she could use it to help someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Mitama explains that she held the event because something good happened to her. The other girls sense a Witch and leave to hunt it, and Mitama tells them to draw their lots later. Alone, she wonders who she should use her power on when she eventually decides to stop being neutral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====I&#039;m the Star of this Show!====&lt;br /&gt;
* One night, Ria Ami receives a call from her manager about a fashion show that wants her as the prestigious last guest. The theme is &amp;quot;dressing in stylish uniforms.&amp;quot; Ria eagerly accepts, imagining Mayu Kozue praising her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - I&#039;m the Star of this Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Ria dreams. On the day of the fashion show, she runs into a Witch. Kyoko Sakura appears in the barrier. Mistaking Kyoko for a fan, Ria tries to show off, but Kyoko tells her to stay out of the way. They fight. Ria leaves the barrier and finds she has missed the show completely. Horrified, she wakes up. It was only a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, she and Asuka Tatsuki arrive to cheer. Asuka reveals she has been practicing for this day. During the event, Asuka cheers for Ria like it is a sports event. Ria knows she means no harm but feels embarrassed, as if Asuka is ruining the event. She wakes up again. Another dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, just as she is about to go on stage, the power cuts out. Though it quickly returns, the audience&#039;s enthusiasm has diminished. Ria blames herself for being unable to overcome the outage. She wakes up, realizing she has been dreaming about the show every single night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual day of the show, Ria pinches her cheek to make sure it is real. She stumbles into a Witch barrier, and Kyoko appears just as in her dreams. This time, Ria tells Kyoko she can take the credit for killing the Witch. Ria leaves and meets Asuka and Mayu. When she learns Asuka has practiced cheering, Ria explains that fashion shows have their own etiquette and promises to send her details later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just before Ria&#039;s turn on stage, the power cuts out for real. Ria decides to make it part of the show. She asks the audience to get out their penlights and turn them all on her when she gives the signal. Her improvisation is a complete success, though she wishes she could have shown her perfect walk. She thinks she is feeling the best feeling in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls are surprised to learn that Felicia scored fifty-two points on a test, and she asks for a reward. Yachiyo deems her request to go to MooMoo Park too expensive and instead promises a fancy dinner the next day, which satisfies Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha discovers that Tsuruno left her phone in the refrigerator and offers to return it while Yachiyo goes to a photo shoot. During breakfast, a commercial for MooMoo Park airs on television.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After breakfast, Felicia shows Sana the park commercial on her phone and admits she still wants to go, so she drags Sana along to catch animals at a riverbank. Meanwhile, Iroha returns Tsuruno&#039;s phone and helps out at her family&#039;s restaurant. At the riverbank, Felicia finds a small turtle, but Ayame Mikuri appears and accuses her of harassment. The two magical girls fight, and Felicia releases the turtle to protect it before running off, leaving Sana behind. Yachiyo finds Sana on her way home and learns what happened, then invites her to lunch. Felicia returns to the house, still angry at Ayame, and takes a nap after lunch. She dreams that the turtle thanks her and promises something at the riverbank, so she wakes and goes out to find it. She returns with a ticket for two to MooMoo Park. The others reveal that Iroha also received a ticket from Tsuruno&#039;s father, and Yachiyo got one at a meat store, so everyone can now go together. The girls happily resolve to visit the park and enjoy their dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of====&lt;br /&gt;
* An old lady asks Kanagi Izumi for a deli recommendation, and Kanagi suggests the potato soup and meat skewers, knowing the customer&#039;s daughter loves them. When the lady asks if this is truly Kanagi&#039;s last day, Kanagi confirms it and expresses regret at not seeing her again. At the end of her shift, Kanagi thanks her boss and coworkers, who are sad to see her go, but she needs higher pay to support her family and the grocery store cannot match her new job&#039;s wages.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives home later than usual due to a going-away party, and her father apologizes for not working enough to provide, though Kanagi is happy to help. He worries about her new job being radically different from her previous work, but Kanagi believes it is worth it since the pay means she can quit her second job and have more free time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi starts her new job at a maid café and impresses her coworker by already having a parfait ready. Despite learning the kitchen pace quickly, the hall is understaffed, and when the manager offers to help, Kanagi replies &amp;quot;Yes, sir!&amp;quot; only to be corrected that the manager prefers to be called &amp;quot;madam.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the rush, the head maid wishes for another maid, and the manager asks Kanagi to try working the floor for a raise. Kanagi&#039;s eyes widen at the salary and she accepts, receiving the maid nickname &amp;quot;Maid Nagitan.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid reviews basics with Kanagi, who feels confident due to her customer service background and sees this as a life-or-death matter to earn more for her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika Kumi, Reira Ibuki, and Mito Aino enter, and Kanagi greets them with a serious look and curt &amp;quot;welcome,&amp;quot; leaving them surprised by her cold, soldier-like demeanor. When Mito asks if she is really a maid, Kanagi introduces herself as Maid Nagitan and shakes Mito&#039;s hand firmly, causing Seika to freeze up. Later, when Reira asks if she will do &amp;quot;the thing&amp;quot; of adding love to the food, Kanagi misinterprets and says she cannot profess love to strangers, leaving the girls let down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At another table, a customer also wants &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; but Kanagi declines, saying she is no liar. The head maid intervenes and reminds Kanagi this is a maid café, explaining their job is creating a fun atmosphere. Kanagi returns to the trio&#039;s table and notices Seika staring, misinterpreting it as a staring contest. They stare at each other until Seika faints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid calls Kanagi completely hopeless and explains a maid&#039;s worth comes from tending to others, telling her to return to the kitchen if she cannot take the work seriously. The manager offers a one-week trial period: if Kanagi improves by week&#039;s end, she stays a maid. Kanagi vows to work with every fiber of her being.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Karin Misono finishes reading &amp;quot;Detective Maid Mei&amp;quot; and notices Kanagi slumped on a swing, muttering about what makes a good maid. Karin recognizes her as the boss of the East and, seeing an opportunity for her manga, asks Kanagi to tell her everything. Karin lends her the Detective Maid Mei manga for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Kanagi reads the manga and notes how the maid greets masters warmly, respects their decisions, and lets the master grow when needed. At the end, the maid strikes a pose. Kanagi meets Karin at the park to return the manga and heads to work with Karin tagging along for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the café, two boys enter and Kanagi greets them warmly as masters, surprising them with her &amp;quot;cool but kind&amp;quot; demeanor. The head maid smiles at her improvement. Kanagi serves Karin a Lovely Rice Omelet, and when Karin suggests she draw on it with ketchup, Kanagi tries to draw a kirin but it looks like a weird animal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Two more customers arrive, Aimi Eri and Natsuki Utsuho. Kanagi serves them and offers to draw on their omelets, writing Aimi&#039;s crush&#039;s name with hearts on her plate. As she leaves, Karin motions for her, and Kanagi does the manga pose, telling them to let her take care of any problems. At day&#039;s end, the head maid notes Kanagi&#039;s huge improvement but says it is too early to celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The final test begins, and the manager outlines that Kanagi must please the next returning customer, ensuring the master leaves with a smile. The door jingles as Konomi Haruna enters, distressed to find herself in a maid café. Kanagi greets her warmly and shows her to a seat despite the manager&#039;s concern.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi orders the Maid&#039;s Special Herbal Blend after Kanagi&#039;s recommendation, but when Kanagi offers to play a game then arm wrestle, Konomi panics, drinks quickly, pays, and leaves. The manager agrees that Kanagi should return to the kitchen as promised. Kanagi walks home alone, bothered by something beyond the wage cut.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi is back in the kitchen, and the kitchen staff is delighted. At day&#039;s end, the head maid tells her the staff appreciated her return, and Kanagi wonders why no one said they were glad when she worked as a maid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager notices her expression and encourages her to think until she is satisfied with the answer. Kanagi decides to find Konomi and ask what she lacked, recalling her school uniform.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi enters Konomi&#039;s flower shop, and Konomi is shocked. Kanagi asks what she lacked as a maid, but Konomi apologizes for assuming Kanagi was scary due to East-West history. She explains she entered by mistake, but Kanagi was considerate, made a helpful suggestion, and offered to ease her anxiety. It felt like Kanagi was doing it just for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi realizes that is what she was lacking: taking into account what the other person wants and responding to it. At the park, Kanagi reflects that customers come to enjoy the atmosphere and it is her job to consider whether it is worthwhile for them. She berates herself for making masters uncomfortable. Karin finds her and insists she should keep being a maid, offering to talk to the manager. Kanagi smiles and asks for a different favor instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi approaches the manager for a second chance, proposing she serve the same three customers who left when Seika fainted. The manager agrees to let her try. Karin finds Reira and Seika at a park and extends an invitation for them to return so Nagitan can make it up to them. Reira agrees, and Karin hands them invitations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio enters the café with Seika frozen, and Kanagi greets them warmly and shows them to their table. Kanagi serves their omelets, and when Mito asks if they were made with love, Kanagi admits she could not be dishonest but offers to draw with ketchup instead. She gives Mito the bottle to draw while Kanagi draws on Mito&#039;s plate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They play rock-paper-scissors, and Reira explains Seika is very shy and fainted because she had to make eye contact with someone new. Seika&#039;s class is doing a maid café for the school festival and she wanted to do her best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika admits she thought Kanagi was so confident she lost her own confidence. Kanagi points to the head maid as the ideal and explains she herself could never be like that, so she tries her best in her own way, encouraging Seika to find her own style. Seika smiles and asks for a picture. Kanagi agrees if her face is hidden, and before they leave, she does her signature pose and tells Seika to remember it when nervous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager calls Kanagi over and offers her the maid position, noting she learned something important. Kanagi says she wants to keep being a maid, not just for the paycheck, but to use what she learned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day at the café, Kanagi serves drinks and poses for pictures with a face mask, her fans cheering. Karin calls for her to do &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; and the café erupts yelling &amp;quot;Nagitan!&amp;quot; Karin and Kanagi walk home, and when Kanagi asks about her manga, Karin realizes she never drew it. Kanagi offers to help, but when Karin asks if she will do the pose, Kanagi reminds her she is off the clock. Karin looks down sadly as Kanagi returns to being serious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia====&lt;br /&gt;
* During the day, Felicia eats Tsuruno&#039;s ice candy without realizing it was hers because she cannot read kanji. Tsuruno reprimands Yachiyo when she learns Yachiyo knew and was preparing to buy a replacement. Yachiyo states it is impossible to guard the fridge constantly. Felicia, overwhelmed with guilt and anger that no one listens to her confession, loses control and flips the kitchen table before locking herself in her room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Felicia has a nightmare. She dreams her falling grades caused a huge argument between her parents, who blamed each other for neglecting her. Both ignore her confession and promise to try harder. Her mother storms back to the kitchen to cook. Felicia recalls that a Witch attacked immediately after, killing her parents, and she wakes up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At a park, Felicia hears a voice claiming to be her. The voice pulls her into a barrier, where another Felicia lures her toward a locked box, revealing itself as her Doppel. Felicia nearly opens the box but remembers Yachiyo&#039;s words about some things being best left unknown. Her instincts tell her she is not ready.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Shinobu Oshino, Mayoi Hachikuji and Yotsugi Ononoki hunt a Witch together. Shinobu begins her dramatic introduction and finishing move, but Yotsugi defeats the Witch with a simple &amp;quot;Hyah&amp;quot; and Mayoi lands the final blow with &amp;quot;Yah.&amp;quot; Shinobu is annoyed at their failure to call out special moves. Shinobu argues that calling out attacks is the essence of being a Magical Girl, but Yotsugi dismisses this as an outdated trope. Shinobu retorts that refusing to act the part is dumb, and Yotsugi reluctantly agrees. Shinobu declares they need training to act more befitting of Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Shinobu&#039;s Heartphial Story: Shinobu Spells]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shinobu demonstrates by striking a pose and delivering her lines with perfect timing. When Yotsugi tries, her performance is terrible. Shinobu forces her to try again, and Yotsugi reluctantly says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; but finds it unpleasant and refuses to repeat it. Mayoi asks Shinobu to help her come up with lines. After a few stumbles, she declares, &amp;quot;I, Mayoi Hachikuji, hereby condemn those Witches who seek to ravage this earth!&amp;quot; Shinobu finds it charming, and Mayoi admits leaning into the Magical Girl thing is fun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They enter a real Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Mayoi messes up her line again but turns it into an improvised bit while evading attacks. Yotsugi delivers a longer speech and says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; landing the attack. Shinobu finishes the Witch with her full finishing move. After the battle, morning comes. Shinobu declares the training will continue, but Yotsugi walks away. Mayoi distracts Shinobu by suggesting breakfast, and Shinobu wants donuts. Yachiyo, out for an early walk, overhears them and decides she wants donuts too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa and helps Yachiyo prepare breakfast. Sana joins them, but when she goes to wake Felicia, she finds Felicia’s room empty and her shoes gone; Felicia’s phone is also out of service. Worried, Yachiyo calls Tsuruno for help, and the group splits up to search the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part I: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the search, Iroha’s Soul Gem reacts to a nearby Witch. Inside the labyrinth, they encounter two unfamiliar magical girls who are already fighting the Witch: Mayoi Hachikuji and Shinobu Oshino. After the Witch is defeated, introductions are exchanged. Mayoi and Shinobu explain they are traveling and looking for a lost friend named Yotsugi Ononoki, who has bluish‑green pigtails, a peculiar hat with eyes, and a frilly dress. The two groups exchange phone numbers to help each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Felicia has in fact met Yotsugi. Yotsugi buys her ice cream, and Felicia learns Yotsugi is also traveling. Felicia offers to show Yotsugi around town as thanks, taking her to the shopping street, a spot with cats, and a bench good for naps. Yotsugi finds everything unfamiliar and feels something is off, as if she has buttoned her shirt wrong. She shortens Felicia’s name to “Felly,” which makes Felicia happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha’s group eventually spots Felicia with Yotsugi. When Yachiyo hugs Felicia in relief, Felicia reacts as if she does not know any of them. She remembers Yachiyo only as a famous magical girl, but has no memory of living at Mikazuki Villa. The group realizes Felicia has lost her memories. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive and reunite with Yotsugi. Felicia refuses to go with Iroha’s group, accusing them of being kidnappers. Yotsugi offers a third option: Felicia can join their traveling team. Mayoi warns Felicia that if she chooses to leave with them, she will never return to the home that might be waiting for her. Felicia becomes confused and cries. Iroha proposes they all have dinner together at Mikazuki Villa first, so Felicia can calm down and decide later and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, Felicia asks Yotsugi what she likes to eat. Yotsugi admits a preference for expensive cup ice cream. Felicia awkwardly asks if Yotsugi&#039;s face is always stuck like that, and Yotsugi confirms it is. After arriving, Felicia eagerly tries to get Yotsugi to play video games, serves her extra portions of food, and challenges her to a pillow fight. Yotsugi excuses herself to take a bath, leaving Felicia disappointed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yotsugi Ononoki#Side Story|Yotsugi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Yotsugi Sister]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Felicia apologizes for being clingy, explaining that Yachiyo and the others pulled her aside to warn her. Felicia confesses she had been trying to make Yotsugi smile, assuming she had lost her parents like Felicia did. Yotsugi clarifies that her emotions simply do not show on her face, but she does feel them. She admits playing the game was fun and the food was not bad. Felicia is overjoyed and runs off to brag to everyone. Shinobu and Mayoi, who had been eavesdropping, tease Yotsugi for finding Felicia cute. Yotsugi concedes that Felicia is exhausting, but seeing her face light up from a drop of attention is not unpleasant. She gains newfound respect for all older sisters in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the villa, Shinobu requests doughnuts for dessert, and the group plays games. Yotsugi helps in the kitchen and notices the chicken meat has a nice springy firmness. During dinner, the group shares memories of how they met Felicia. Felicia still does not remember, but Shinobu points out the stories are too detailed to be lies. Tsuruno suddenly does not remember buying coasters, revealing she may also have amnesia. Yotsugi then shifts the discussion: she reminds Shinobu that she walked in sunlight all day without harm, which should be impossible because Shinobu is actually a vampire. Shinobu’s memories return, and she declares herself the iron‑blooded, hot‑blooded, cold‑blooded vampire king of oddities. Mayoi also gets a headache and remembers she is not human either, and instead she is a snail oddity, a ghost. Yotsugi explains that she has felt uneasy calling herself a magical girl; she suspects this world is not the one she came from, as everything feels slightly different, like two paintings of the same image in different styles. She believes Shinobu, Mayoi, and herself came from another world. They conclude that a Witch may be behind the memory loss and false memories, and decide to hunt Witches the next day. Everyone stays the night at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mayoi plays Old Maid with Tsuruno, Felicia, Yotsugi, and Shinobu. Mayoi wins, but Yotsugi and Shinobu notice she seemed absent-minded. Mayoi asks Yachiyo if she can help with dinner, admitting she always wished she could cook with her mom. Yachiyo agrees and Mayoi joins Iroha and Sana in making dumplings, proving to be a natural. Yotsugi and Shinobu try but fail miserably. Mayoi boasts and declares herself the rightful leader of the little girls, sparking a three-way argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Mayoi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Mayoi Home]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno suggests playing a game to decide the leader, and Felicia wants to join. Shinobu insists Iroha must also participate. They play a life simulation board game. Mayoi starts strong but ends up broke and stranded in the Amazon. Iroha wins, and Mayoi declares her the official leader of the little girls, much to Iroha&#039;s confusion. Mayoi feels this has been the most fun she has had in a while, yet she cannot shake an uneasy feeling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After everyone decides to stay over, Yachiyo announces bath time. Mayoi suddenly bolts out of the house, claiming she will take a walk. Iroha chases after her and finds her safe. Mayoi apologizes and explains that the family moment overwhelmed her heart, so she left to do something familiar to settle herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi revisits her wish: after her parents&#039; divorce, she wished to go home. Being at Mikazuki Villa makes her feel like her wish has finally come true, yet she senses it is not the home she truly wants to return to. She remembers she is a ghost and wonders where exactly it is she wants to go back to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After they lay out futons in the living room, Shinobu reveals she is actually over 500 years old, and Mayoi was in fifth grade when she died, now mentally 21. Yotsugi still does not remember what she is. Felicia cannot sleep and goes outside. She sees a Witch appear suddenly, feels her head go foggy, and collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha again helps with breakfast. She feels a strange déjà vu, as if the same conversation has happened before. Sana again reports Felicia is missing. The group searches the town and again encounters Mayoi and Shinobu fighting a Witch. The same exchanges occur, but Iroha’s déjà vu grows stronger.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When they finally find Felicia, she is with Yotsugi and is annoyed that they took so long to show up. Yotsugi addresses Iroha by name without being introduced. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive. Iroha blurts out that everything feels like it has happened before. Yotsugi then explains: this is the second time they have met like this. Everyone suddenly remembers the previous day’s events of the dinner, the revelations about vampires and ghosts, and the time reset. Yotsugi says she felt the air warp after falling asleep, and when she woke up, she was back where she had been before meeting Felicia. Felicia recalls that before the reset, she saw a Witch outside Mikazuki Villa that made her dizzy and erased her memories. The group deduces that Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they discuss how to fight the Witch, Felicia’s stomach growls. They decide to return to the villa for dinner again, saving the battle for the next day. On the way, they stop at a supermarket for a snack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While walking home, a Witch suddenly appears and pulls Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi into a labyrinth. Felicia recognizes it as the same Witch from the reset. The Witch ignores both Iroha and Felicia, focusing all its attacks on Yotsugi. It dodges Felicia’s hammer and lands a clean hit, cutting Yotsugi’s body into pieces. Iroha and Felicia are horrified. As the Witch prepares to strike again, Yotsugi’s voice tells them to keep pretending to be sad. She instructs them to retreat and gather the pieces of her body. They do so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside the labyrinth, Yotsugi puts herself back together as if nothing happened. She reveals that when she took the hit, she regained her true memories. Back at Mikazuki Villa, she explains to everyone: she is a hundred‑year‑old tsukumogami made from a human body, both a doll oddity and a corpse oddity. She has no heart and has always been dead. This is why the Witch’s power of suggestion, which works by influencing emotions, does not affect her as much. She also notes that the Witch let them escape because it was angry at Yotsugi for helping everyone remember the first loop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yotsugi attacks Shinobu. Shinobu blocks the strike. When asked why, Yotsugi coldly says, “Would you mind dying for me real quick?”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt; Yotsugi’s sudden attack on Shinobu was not betrayal but a calculated shock: she remembered that when the Witch cut her into pieces, the trauma restored her own original memories. She reasons that a sufficiently strong physical blow can break through the memory manipulation. Shinobu’s severed leg instantly regenerates as her vampiric powers return, proving the method works. Without warning, Yotsugi then punches Mayoi, knocking her unconscious. When Mayoi wakes, her memories also return, which is triggered by the keyword “lost.” Mayoi explains that their false magical girl powers and wishes were implanted by the Witch, and that they are not inhabitants of this world. She then proposes a new theory: the Kamihama girls did not lose their memories; rather, they come from different points in their own timeline and simply haven’t experienced the shared past yet. Felicia is devastated, fearing she will never have a family again, but Iroha and the others reassure her that in every timeline they will end up together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part II: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, after everyone has gone to sleep, Shinobu summons Yotsugi and Mayoi outside. She admits she does not fully trust Iroha’s group, as they could be the Witch’s minions or mere plot devices. She reveals there may be another way to return to their original world, but she does not elaborate immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group splits up to hunt the elusive Witch. They repeatedly enter labyrinths of other Witches, wasting time. Felicia grows increasingly frustrated, nearly charging into unrelated fights. Yachiyo observes that the Witch seems to want them to fight, so any peaceful, fun activity risks a reset, which is why the first reset happened after their happy dinner and games. She concludes that the Witch is like a director forcing them to act out a “magical girls fighting” plot. Iroha suggests they deliberately provoke the Witch by acting against that plot, hoping to lure it out. However, Yotsugi warns that straying too far might trigger another reset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo formally presents her three‑point theory: (1) The Witch did not pursue them when they fled, (2) it never removed their magical girl powers, and (3) the resets happen when they relax instead of fight. Everyone agrees the plan is to provoke the Witch into appearing. Shinobu then insists on going sightseeing the next day, arguing that one more reset will weaken the Witch’s power further. Despite concerns about resetting again, Tsuruno enthusiastically supports the idea, and the group reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group spends the morning and afternoon touring Kamihama: the radio tower, the school (which they sneak into), an arcade where Yotsugi plays rhythm games with a completely blank expression, and the shopping mall where Shinobu demands to find a donut shop. Tsuruno saves the family restaurant, Banbanzai, for last. As they approach, Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi sense the Witch charging straight at them. The familiar dizziness overcomes everyone, and the world resets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Several hours after the reset, Yotsugi again restores everyone’s memories, as her immunity to the Witch’s suggestion means she still remembers everything. The group notes that more people felt déjà vu this time, suggesting the Witch is weakening. That night, Shinobu privately tells Yotsugi and Mayoi her true alternative plan: she will kill the Kamihama magical girls and consume their power, believing that enough strength will allow her to tear open a gate back to their world. Yotsugi and Mayoi agree to help, though Mayoi is conflicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the town feels eerily deserted. The Witch’s labyrinth is sparse, with only familiars. Following Shinobu’s earlier secret instruction, the group begins shouting insults at the Witch to provoke it. Suddenly, Shinobu strikes Felicia from behind, seemingly killing her. Yachiyo and Tsuruno are horrified. Shinobu, Yotsugi, and Mayoi reveal their betrayal: they intend to slaughter everyone to gain power for a gate home. A brutal fight erupts. Mayoi uses her ability to redirect Yachiyo’s spear attack, causing it to hit Iroha and Sana, who also fall. Tsuruno is overwhelmed, and Yachiyo is mortally wounded. Shinobu stands alone, gloating, but then the “dead” girls suddenly rise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** It was all an act. The group had secretly planned this staged betrayal during the previous night, communicating via handwritten notes to avoid the Witch overhearing. Sana, who makes picture books, wrote the script. The plan had multiple layers: first, they deliberately triggered a second reset by going sightseeing to weaken the Witch; second, they staged a believable in‑fighting scenario to lure the Witch out, because if all the “actors” disappear, the Witch’s story cannot continue. The Witch falls for the trap and appears, enraged by the deception. A full‑scale battle begins. The group coordinates: Iroha and Sana herd familiars for Yotsugi’s “Unlimited Rulebook”; Yachiyo, Shinobu, and Iroha immobilize the Witch; Tsuruno guides Mayoi’s errant drill attack with her flames, piercing the Witch’s front camera. When that does not destroy the labyrinth, Yachiyo and Shinobu realize the front camera was a decoy: the true weak spot is the film at the back. Felicia, launched by Yotsugi like a bullet, smashes the drill deeper, and Yachiyo and Shinobu destroy the film. The labyrinth dissolves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the world fades to mist, Felicia breaks down crying. She does not want this world to end because at Mikazuki Villa she finally felt like she had a family again, and she fears returning to her own timeline where she will be alone. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Sana hug her, promising that no matter the world or timeline, they will surely live together again. Shinobu, Mayoi, and Yotsugi share an awkward, brief hug, concluding they are not the hugging type. Everyone exchanges farewells. Yotsugi tells Felicia, “I’m glad I met you, Felly.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa, yawning. Felicia teases her for sleeping late. Iroha recalls a long, strange dream, both fun and bittersweet, but the details fade upon waking. She only remembers that it was something really special. The day begins again, as if the adventure had never happened, except for the faint warmth left behind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede dreams of a garden where Momoko and Rena help her harvest fantastical vegetables. When she asks about the cream puff tree, Momoko shows her a basket full. The peace breaks when an apartment complex finishes construction behind them, destroying the garden. Kaede remembers this moment: her father announced a new building would block their sunlight, her mother worried they would lose their garden, and in despair, Kaede wished to stop the construction entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The dream shatters and a shadowy version of Kaede appears, accusing her of always running from difficulty. It reminds her she made her wish without considering the people who would have lived in that building, that she ran from Rena rather than face rejection, that she holds back in marathons and skips hard problems. The shadow urges her to keep running until she finds where she belongs and offers its hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kaede admits everything is true: she is weak and useless. But she insists she wants to stay with Momoko and Rena, the friends who matter to her. She asks her shadow to help her become better little by little. The shadow agrees, promising to watch from the garden of her heart. Kaede wakes at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains Kaede blacked out during a Witch battle. Kaede remembers hesitating to transform, a Familiar catching her off guard, and Rena crying out. When another Familiar attacked Rena, Kaede recalled a time Momoko was hurt because of her mistake. Believing herself useless, her Soul Gem turned pitch black. Now awake and purified, she chooses not to run. She asks to join Momoko and Rena, who went ahead to hunt the Witch. Mitama sends her off, confident she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holiday Nyaprise!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede asks Mikazuki Villa to watch a lost kitten while her family is away. After Felicia threatens to withhold bedtime hot cocoa, Yachiyo relents and Sana names the cat Gorojirou, or Sir Purrs-a-little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Holiday Nyaprise!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno visits daily to play, and when Gorojirou needs the restroom, Sana rushes it to the litter box just as Yachiyo calls them for lunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia chases the cat until Sana gives her a toy to lure it instead, and they eventually nap together on the couch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou has grown close to everyone, and Iroha tries taking its picture but accidentally films herself instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha shops, Sana watches the cat and Yachiyo admits she avoided getting attached because Gorojirou is temporary, but resolves to make its stay pleasant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou chews Felicia&#039;s favorite sticker, and though Felicia is angry, Sana reminds her the cat leaves tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede returns for Gorojirou, and everyone says a tearful goodbye. As they leave, the cat meows at Sana, who cries happily saying goodbye to her new best friend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hayate, Nanoha, and Fate mistake a Mirror copy&#039;s portal for the warp gate to their tournament and are pulled through before Lindy can stop them. Mitama registers the confused but excited trio for the &amp;quot;First Ultimate Magical Girls Team Battle Mirrors Cup,&amp;quot; and they head to the Standby Zone after learning about the Mirror barrier. Meanwhile, Rena, Momoko, and Kaede struggle against unusually strong Familiars, and when Rena twists her ankle, the Nanoha trio steps in to save them. The groups introduce themselves, with the trio explaining they are from Uminary City while concealing their connection to the Administrative Bureau, and Rena warns them about dangerous Mirror copies that lurk deeper in the barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they observe Team Momoko&#039;s match, Nanoha comments on the fighting styles she sees and notes the variety of magic on display. She explains she was taught magic from an early age and is surprised to learn Iroha and the others gained their powers by making wishes to Kyubey. Iroha describes Kyubey as a white stuffed animal, which reminds Nanoha of her own first teacher, Yuuno. Nanoha shares that she discovered magic in third grade when she heard Yuuno calling for help, and since then she has honed her abilities alongside Fate and Hayate to protect others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks about Nanoha&#039;s device, Raising Heart, and how it can transform. Nanoha explains the device taught her magic step by step and once posed an important question to her: what is the most important thing in a fight? Iroha guesses it is the will to win, but before Nanoha can reveal the true answer, Fate and Hayate return from exploring. Fate requests a sparring match, and Iroha asks to watch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo joins Iroha to observe the fight between Nanoha and Fate. The two exchange blows at maximum speed, with Fate using close-range attacks while Nanoha fights from a distance. The match ends in a tie after a final, explosive clash. Before leaving for a break, Nanoha turns to Iroha and reveals the true answer to Raising Heart&#039;s question: wisdom and tactics. Iroha agrees, especially after witnessing their battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Natsuki is fretting over a lost wallet at the Promise Altar, and Ria offers to help her search since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway. Natsuki apologizes for the trouble, but Ria insists she doesn&#039;t mind and even offers to lend her money. Natsuki refuses the loan but admits she needs money for train fare home. She reluctantly agrees to borrow just enough for the trip and promises to pay Ria back later. Ria asks if Natsuki is sure she doesn&#039;t want to file a report, but Natsuki believes the wallet is simply lost rather than stolen and wants to keep searching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hayate Yagami#Side Story|Hayate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria suggests they retrace Natsuki&#039;s steps and asks where she&#039;s been. Natsuki lists the Promise Altar, the station, the shopping district, and an izakaya where she ate with friends. Ria questions why she went to an izakaya alone, and Natsuki clarifies she was with coworkers. Ria finds it odd that Natsuki was drinking with coworkers and then came to the shrine alone afterwards. Natsuki admits it&#039;s a long story involving a former coworker&#039;s engagement announcement that left her feeling restless. She came to the shrine to think but realized she didn&#039;t have enough money to get home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they search, they run into Masara and Kokoro. Masara bluntly tells Natsuki she probably won&#039;t find it and suggests getting a new student ID. Kokoro gently scolds her for being insensitive and offers to help search. Ria mentions they&#039;ve already looked around the shrine, so Kokoro suggests they expand the search area.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group heads to the shopping district, where they encounter Kanoko. She offers to help search as well, and they all continue looking together. Eventually, Ria asks Natsuki to retrace her exact steps from when she left the izakaya. Natsuki recalls walking to the station, realizing she didn&#039;t want to go home yet, and coming to the shrine. Ria points out that she would have needed her wallet to pay the izakaya bill, so she definitely had it after leaving. Natsuki confirms this and remembers using her train pass at the station before changing her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria concludes the wallet must be somewhere between the station turnstiles and the shrine, but they&#039;ve already searched that route thoroughly. Kanoko suggests Natsuki might have dropped it somewhere else without realizing, like when she pulled out her phone. Natsuki&#039;s eyes light up, and she admits she did take out her phone at the station to check something. She just can&#039;t remember what she did with her wallet after that. Ria proposes they split up to cover more ground, and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Natsuki returns home defeated and exhausted. Her father calls out to her, and when she enters the living room, she finds her wallet sitting on the table. Her mother found it in the shopping district and a kind stranger turned it in. Natsuki&#039;s relief quickly turns to panic when she remembers she borrowed money from Ria, and now she has no way to contact her. She considers calling Kokoro but realizes she doesn&#039;t have her number either. She decides to go back to the Promise Altar the next day to hopefully find Ria there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Natsuki returns to the Promise Altar and is relieved to spot Ria. She excitedly explains that her wallet was found and immediately tries to repay the loan. Ria accepts the money but notices Natsuki seems troubled about something else. Natsuki admits she&#039;s been thinking about her former coworker&#039;s engagement and how she handled the situation. Ria offers to listen if Natsuki wants to talk, but Natsuki says she&#039;d rather not burden her further. Ria insists it&#039;s no trouble since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki explains that her former coworker Yukari got engaged and announced it at a gathering. Natsuki congratulated her happily, but another coworker named Ootori made some passive-aggressive comments about how Yukari managed to find someone before her. Later, Ootori apologized to Natsuki for her behavior, but Natsuki feels she should have defended Yukari in the moment. She feels guilty for not speaking up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria asks why she feels responsible for defending Yukari. Natsuki admits it&#039;s because Yukari was always kind to her when she first started the job, and she feels she failed to repay that kindness. Ria points out that Natsuki did congratulate Yukari sincerely, and that was probably what mattered most to her in that moment. Natsuki realizes Ria is right and thanks her for the perspective.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just then, Kanagi arrives, and Ria prepares to leave. Before going, she offers Natsuki her contact information so she can reach out if she ever needs to talk again. Natsuki gratefully accepts, and the two part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During a break in the Mirrors tournament, Fate, Nanoha, and Hayate encounter a copy of Fate that proves too powerful for them to handle alone. Felicia, Kako, and Ayame appear to help, and together they defeat the copy. When Felicia asks what they&#039;re doing there, Fate admits they got lost. The Kamihama girls learn the trio is from out of town and younger than them, but they quickly become friends and head back to the standby zone together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Fate T. Harlaown#Side Story|Fate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group somehow gets roped into a dodgeball game, with teams forming spontaneously among the tournament participants. Fate proves to be exceptionally athletic, leading her team through multiple rounds against increasingly competitive opponents. After defeating Momoko&#039;s team, they face a martial arts team featuring Akira, Meiyui, and Asuka, which Fate also wins. Tsuruno, refusing to let age be a barrier, recruits Masara and Natsuki for a final match against Fate&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match comes down to a intense showdown between Fate and Tsuruno, both catching and returning each other&#039;s throws with increasing speed and power. Fate ultimately outmaneuvers Tsuruno by throwing to Nanoha and leaping into the air for the winning strike. Everyone celebrates the friendly tournament and the new friendships formed across different cities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the tournament progresses, Team Nanoha easily advances through early rounds with Fate&#039;s incredible speed, though Momoko notices Hayate and Nanoha have yet to reveal their full power. Elsewhere, Mitama learns that Momoko announced her team would break up if they lost not because Kaede is useless but to show their conviction, though both Kaede and Rena had doubts. The tournament continues until four teams remain, with Team Momoko advancing to the finals through clever strategy and Team Nanoha defeating Team Masara to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match begins with Fate and Rena clashing in a battle of speed that seemingly knocks both out, leaving Nanoha and Hayate to face Momoko and Kaede. Hayate fuses with Reinforce Zwei and unleashes Ragnarok to take out Kaede, then joins Nanoha against Momoko, who withstands Nanoha&#039;s Starlight Breaker as both girls stand exhausted. Before a winner can be decided, Lindy contacts Nanoha with an emergency: a fugitive illegally opened a rift between worlds, and the Mirror copy of Shizuku appears nearby, having used her powers to connect the Mirror labyrinth to Uminary City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The copy stole the tournament&#039;s grand prize, a special orb that exponentially increases magical power, and the girls call off the match to track her down. Team Nanoha and Team Momoko catch the copy, but after they defeat her, copies of Hayate, Fate, and Nanoha appear and swallow the broken orb pieces, gaining immense power. All the Magical Girls unite to take down the powered-up copies, and through combined efforts they finally delete the magical signatures. With the tunnel between worlds about to collapse, Mitama declares both teams winners, and the girls exchange heartfelt goodbyes before the Nanoha trio returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day in Kamihama, Kaede realizes her texts to Hayate no longer go through, Momoko cannot reach Nanoha or Fate, and Rena cannot find Uminary City on any map. Mitama and Shizuku conclude the girls must have come from a different world entirely, since they needed a space tunnel to travel rather than a simple train ride. Though Kaede is sad they may never meet again, Rena is grateful for the friendship they formed, and the three resolve to work hard for a future rematch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Asuka finds herself in a cloud-filled void facing a shadowy version of herself who claims to be the hidden part of Asuka&#039;s heart. The shadow declares Asuka is no longer fit to practice Ryushin-ryu because her blade has been sullied by contracting as a Magical Girl. When Asuka protests, the shadow recounts how Asuka wished for her cousin to become a police officer after his dreams were jeopardized by their uncle&#039;s arrest, arguing that twisting fate with magic was selfish and wrong. The shadow insists that with her heart no longer true, Asuka walks a false path and should abandon her school, urging her to die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her despair, Asuka remembers her father&#039;s words about asking her own heart what is right, like water filling a square bowl. She tells the shadow that perceptions of right and wrong can change with the situation, and though she cannot refute the shadow&#039;s claims, she knows her heart believed her actions were just. Believing words alone cannot reach the shadow, Asuka challenges her to a fight to prove her blade&#039;s strength reflects her sincere heart. The shadow warns that slaying her means slaying herself, but Asuka declares she fears being untrue to herself more than death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their swords clash, and after a long battle, the shadow succumbs to Asuka&#039;s attack and acknowledges her blade was as pure as her heart. The shadow warns she may return in a different form if Asuka&#039;s heart becomes stained again, then vanishes. Asuka awakens near a pond deep in the forest, where she had gone to meditate as part of her training. She remembers the shadow&#039;s promise and considers asking Mitama what it all meant, but feels her father&#039;s words have been engraved in her more deeply now. With her resolve unwavering, she runs back to the dojo, taking a straight path out of the woods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka awakens to find herself in a strange, cloud-filled void. A shadowy copy of herself appears, introducing itself as the part of her she has suppressed deep within her heart. The shadow urges Nanaka to end her pursuit of vengeance, calling it a fruitless endeavor that changes nothing. Nanaka refuses, explaining that the act of revenge itself holds meaning for her, not the result. The shadow questions where vengeance has led her: a life of constant danger in an endless struggle against Witches. Nanaka admits there is nothing to gain from her actions, but her conviction remains unshakable. The shadow then accuses Nanaka of dragging Akira, Kako, and Meiyui into her vengeance, using them to fulfill her goals. Nanaka acknowledges this truth but insists she would never throw their lives away. She believes fate brought them together to fight a common enemy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka recalls the moments before she lost consciousness. Her team had cornered a Witch, but it disappeared and reappeared near a weakened Kako. Nanaka leaped in to shield her, and Akira and Meiyui joined the fight. The shadow suggests Nanaka protected Kako to redeem herself, but Nanaka denies this. The shadow warns it will continue watching from the depths of her heart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka awakens to find her teammates standing over her, relieved she is alive. The Witch is defeated. Nanaka tells Kako not to worry about anything, as they are teammates. Meiyui finds her choice of words unusual, but Akira insists Nanaka see Mitama for a checkup. Kako thanks Nanaka for protecting her. Nanaka smiles, thinking to herself that each of them is their own flower, supporting one another through their shared fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis====&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha announces that a cafe Yachiyo frequents has opened a new location near Mikazuki Villa, and the group decides to visit on opening day. They arrive to find it is actually a Curry House CoCo Ichibanya, and Yachiyo passionately explains the menu options as they wait for the store to open.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the store opens early, the employee announces they cannot open today due to a missing delivery truck carrying ingredients. The employee breaks down in tears, explaining her family came to see her first store opening. The group notices magical energy emanating from the store and decides to help find the truck, promising to return for curry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They investigate at the last store the truck visited. The employee there confirms the truck is missing but provides spare ingredients and explains that stores support each other in times of trouble. The group splits into two teams: one to gather ingredients from other stores, and one to trace the truck&#039;s route. During coordination, they learn a second CoCoIchi truck has also gone missing on the same road.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While gathering ingredients, Tsuruno&#039;s group encounters a lost, hungry girl who flees upon hearing CoCoIchi and nearly crashes into Sana. Afterward, Sana realizes the employee at the new store could see her despite her invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s group follows the road where both trucks disappeared and finds a Witch&#039;s barrier. Inside, they find both trucks and their drivers. Iroha and Ui engage the Witch&#039;s familiars while Yachiyo secures the drivers. Iroha realizes the Witch is targeting the cargo, so she throws curry ingredients at it, causing the Witch to abandon the fight and allowing them to defeat it easily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno calls with urgent news that the store employee is a Magical Girl, her missing little sister is also a Magical Girl, and she has not been able to contact her since yesterday. The group fears the curry-loving Witch they just defeated was the sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the new store, where the employee is preparing their reward curry. Before Iroha can confess, a girl rushes in calling for her sister. It is the employee&#039;s little sister, alive and well. The group realizes the Witch was simply a curry-loving Witch unrelated to the sister. They finally sit down to enjoy the promised curry together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui====&lt;br /&gt;
* Meiyui&#039;s family is helping organize a local event when a stranger stabs one of their members and flees, dropping a badge. Meiyui chooses to tend to the victim rather than give chase, despite his protests that she is being too soft.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many in the organization want revenge, but Meiyui refuses, not wanting to return to their old ways as an evil organization. The members are reluctant to involve the police due to being falsely accused of murder three years prior. Meiyui had contracted with Kyubey back then to expose the truth with her wish, but lingering distrust remains.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui goes alone to track the culprit. The dropped badge leads her to an abandoned company tied to illegal labor her family had helped shut down. After defeating a stray Witch, she is ambushed and kidnapped by a man with a taser.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She wakes handcuffed alongside about ten others. The kidnappers reveal the badge was a trap to lure her. They include a former police officer who had fabricated evidence against her family and associates of the real murderer from that case, all blaming the Blue Seas for ruining their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her Soul Gem is heavily tainted from the Witch fight, and she begins hearing her Doppel&#039;s voice. In a cloudy void, her shadow self insists she should have killed these enemies when she had the chance, arguing her organization cannot survive without dirtying their hands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Meiyui struggles to stay conscious, she uses her last energy to beg the culprits to leave her family alone, insisting they are not a bad group. The stabber dismisses her pleas and suggests killing her as a warning instead. Her Doppel mocks her, saying evil people will always exist no matter how sincerely she tries to live righteously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, her organization members arrive to rescue her. The stabbed victim is among them, now grateful Meiyui had stayed to help him instead of chasing revenge. He admits he used to believe abandoning burdens was the way of the world, but facing death alone showed him he was wrong. He is alive because of Meiyui&#039;s strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hearing this, Meiyui&#039;s mind clears. In the void, her Doppel asks if she is ready to kill them, but Meiyui rejects violence entirely. The Doppel submits, allowing her to put everyone in the area to sleep without bloodshed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The police soon arrive after the kidnapper, persuaded by Meiyui, confesses over the phone. They find several family members asleep everywhere and note a look of complete relief on Meiyui&#039;s sleeping face.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Little Bird&#039;s Star====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe and other Black Feathers are in Fendt Hope, commiserating about their weakness. A White Feather had to bail them out after they were followed by a Witch while delivering a parcel from Mitama&#039;s shop. They discuss Yachiyo Nanami, a veteran Magical Girl who destroys Uwasas.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu and Nemu emerge from a room arguing. Nemu dismisses Mifuyu and approaches the Black Feathers with a request. She asks them to investigate the &amp;quot;Uwasa of the Jealous Coward,&amp;quot; also called the &amp;quot;Green-Eyed Coward.&amp;quot; Kuroe hesitates but agrees when Nemu insists she has the aptitude.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group investigates an area with many students but cannot find the Uwasa. The other Black Feathers leave for personal commitments. Kuroe stays, feeling she has nothing to return to. The Uwasa manifests when Kuroe expresses envy toward the other girls&#039; normal lives. Two Black Feathers are knocked unconscious. Nemu is satisfied with the results and tasks Kuroe with investigating more Uwasas starting tomorrow. Kuroe protests but Nemu leaves before she can refuse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Memoria 1743.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The Amane twins, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo, meet Kuroe at Fendt Hope and they begin investigating Uwasas in Sakae Ward but find nothing. They move to Hokuyo Ward. Kuroe notices a missing cat poster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They sense Yachiyo&#039;s group nearby and flee. Yachiyo and Iroha corner Kuroe. The twins escape. Yachiyo interrogates Kuroe. An Uwasa resembling Kuroe appears and attacks, then disappears. Yachiyo accuses Kuroe of controlling it. Kuroe insists she had no knowledge of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo decides to take Kuroe camping to monitor her. At the campground, the Amane twins briefly contact Kuroe and say they will consult Nemu, so Kuroe resolves to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe helps Iroha gather firewood. Iroha is scared by a caterpillar and Kuroe removes it. Kuroe introduces herself by name. She helps the group set up their tent and prepare lunch, using skills learned from Wings of Magius training. She reminds herself not to get drawn into their warm atmosphere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mentions a waterfall power spot. Kuroe offers to get water. Iroha accompanies her. They get lost. A woman helps Kuroe find the waterfall and gives her an empty bottle. The woman explains the place is her personal power spot for resetting her mind. Kuroe wishes she had strength to face the future. The Uwasa appears and attacks the woman. Iroha arrives and finds the woman unconscious. Kuroe begs Iroha for help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe carries the unconscious woman back to the campsite. The Amane twins inform her that Nemu says she is possessed by the Uwasa and should stay with Yachiyo&#039;s group. Yachiyo warns that if more casualties occur, she will destroy the Uwasa. Iroha suggests keeping Kuroe for observation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group participates in a stamp rally and Iroha and Kuroe pair up. They discover they are both from Takarazaki. Iroha explains she moved to Kamihama to find her missing sister. Suddenly, a Witch appears and Kuroe and Iroha fight it together. Kuroe acts as a decoy while Iroha defeats the Witch. Kuroe feels inadequate compared to Iroha&#039;s courage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe asks for time alone and she reflects on her fears and envy. The Uwasa appears again, resembling Kuroe. The group fights it and Iroha urges Kuroe to destroy the Uwasa. Kuroe admits she is afraid she cannot be herself, so she and Iroha destroy the Uwasa together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amane twins inform Kuroe they must report the Uwasa&#039;s destruction, yet Kuroe does not regret it. Iroha asks to talk with Kuroe and Yachiyo offers them tea. Kuroe admits she feels safe with the Wings of Magius because they represent hope for her. Iroha accepts this and Kuroe tells Iroha she wants to be like her someday. They part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe finds the missing cat and returns it to its owner, who is overjoyed. Kuroe realizes she saved someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe reports to Nemu and Mifuyu. Nemu reveals the Uwasa summons itself based on dissatisfaction and envy. Nemu admits she expected Yachiyo&#039;s group to handle an accident with the Uwasa. However, Nemu is satisfied that she now has more research on fusing Uwasa with Magical Girls, however Mifuyu warns Nemu not to experiment on the Feathers. Kuroe realizes that even the Magius are imperfect and she reflects on her long day. She resolves to do her best, one step at a time, and hopes to see Iroha again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 7th==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia and Sana decide to buy matching coasters as a gift for Yachiyo, to show their appreciation, and after some searching, they find a suitable set.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: Memories That Reveal the Truth]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 8th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the plan to present the gift is interrupted when Mifuyu Azusa arrives at the villa before Yachiyo returns home. The girls&#039; plan was for Iroha to wait inside while the others came from outside to surprise Yachiyo. Mifuyu prepares tea and reveals one of the two mugs on the top shelf, which Yachiyo forbade Iroha from using, belongs to her. Mifuyu invites Iroha to a lecture hosted by the Wings of the Magius to explain their goal of &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls. The lecture is scheduled for two days later at the Memory Museum and Iroha agrees to investigate the Rumor about the museum first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo returns home and is visibly distressed to find Mifuyu there. Mifuyu leaves, asking Iroha to inform the others about the lecture. Before finally leaving, Mifuyu returns to speak to Yachiyo privately. She references a &amp;quot;promise&amp;quot; they made a year ago, and accuses Yachiyo of returning to her old ways. Yachiyo insists her relationship with Iroha and the others is &amp;quot;just cooperating.&amp;quot; Yachiyo retreats to her room without receiving the coasters. That night, Yachiyo reflects on her past, resolving to return to the person she once was.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 9th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the lecture, Iroha is unable to give Yachiyo the coasters due to Yachiyo&#039;s low spirits. Iroha discusses her plan to attend the Wings of the Magius lecture with Madoka Kaname via text. Iroha then attempts to investigate the Rumor of the Memory Museum. Yachiyo claims no knowledge of it and leaves for school. Iroha and Momoko ask Mitama, who refuses to share information to maintain her neutrality. After the visit, Mitama has a separate conversation with Momoko about Momoko&#039;s own secret, advising her to tell her friends the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede and Rena help Iroha by summoning the creature that recites the Rumor of the Memory Museum, which allows people to view researched memories. Tsuruno&#039;s father provides the location of the similar-sounding &amp;quot;Kamihama Memorial Museum.&amp;quot; That evening, Yachiyo refuses to join the investigation, reiterating that her relationship with the others is strictly professional, which saddens Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Saturday, the 10th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the lecture, Yachiyo again refuses to go to the museum and Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana go to the Kamihama Memorial Museum without her. There, they are greeted by Touka Satomi, who reveals herself as one of the three Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently at Mikazuki, Yachiyo, haunted by memories of past friends, decides she must investigate the Memory Museum herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Touka throne 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka Satomi gives them a lecture titled &amp;quot;The Truth Behind Magical Girls.&amp;quot; She presents three key items through illustrative stories:&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 1: Soul Gems. A story reveals that a Soul Gem is a Magical Girl&#039;s actual soul. Using magic consumes this life force, and if the gem shatters, the Magical Girl dies. Touka uses an analogy of an internal vs. external battery to explain Soul Gems and Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 2: Witches. A second story demonstrates that when a Magical Girl&#039;s Soul Gem becomes fully corrupted, she transforms into a Witch. This revelation traumatizes Felicia, who realizes the Witches she has been killing were once Magical Girls and that she herself is destined to become one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 3: Doppels. A third story explains that in Kamihama City, a fully corrupted Soul Gem can manifest a &amp;quot;Doppel&amp;quot; instead of a Witch. The Wings of the Magius present this as the key to &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls from their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* To prove their claims, Touka and Mifuyu Azusa activate the Memory Museum&#039;s Rumor. Mifuyu presents a book containing her own memories, inviting the group to witness the truth of the lecture firsthand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo arrives at the museum and confronts Touka. She is shown into the memory dimension where Iroha and the others are and Mifuyu activates the Rumor, forcing the group to relive her memories. The memories depict Yachiyo&#039;s former team, Mikazuki Villa:&lt;br /&gt;
** The first memory shows Kanae Yukino sacrificing herself to reveal a Witch&#039;s weakness. Her uninjured body is found next to her shattered Soul Gem, proving the Soul Gem is the Magical Girl&#039;s life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second memory shows Mel Anna using too much magic to protect Yachiyo. With no Grief Seed to purify her fully corrupted Soul Gem, Mel transforms into a Witch before the team&#039;s eyes, confirming Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The third memory shows Mifuyu&#039;s despair six months after Mel&#039;s death, causing her Soul Gem to corrupt fully. Instead of becoming a Witch, she manifests a Doppel. Touka then appears and recruits her into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno is consumed by guilt over Mel&#039;s death, believing her absence that day was the cause. Felicia is horrified, realizing the Witches she killed were Magical Girls and Sana is terrified but feels powerless to change the system. Touka and Mifuyu use this emotional vulnerability to press their recruitment offers to each girl, promising a world where these tragedies are impossible and even suggesting Sana could be freed from her wish of invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo reject the offer to join and Yachiyo compares the Magius&#039; methods to Kyubey&#039;s, accusing them of exploiting weaknesses. Yachiyo then announces she is disbanding their team, which Iroha protests, but Yachiyo insists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka reveals that Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana have been brainwashed and now serve the Wings of the Magius. Alina Gray arrives and traps Iroha and Yachiyo within her Labyrinth and leaves them to face a Witch. As they fight the Witch, Yachiyo reiterates her decision to disband the team and work alone. She reveals her wish was &amp;quot;I want to survive,&amp;quot; and explains that she interprets this as a curse: the power to survive by sacrificing her teammates, based on the last words of her former comrades, Kanae and Mel, who both died while she lived. Yachiyo believes that to protect Iroha, she must sever their partnership.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha rejects Yachiyo&#039;s conclusion. She declares she will defeat the Uwasa alone to prove Yachiyo&#039;s &amp;quot;curse&amp;quot; is not real and that she can protect Yachiyo. Iroha states she is angry that Yachiyo made this decision for everyone and vows to rescue their brainwashed friends. She defeats the Witch and rejects Yachiyo&#039;s belief in a cursed wish and declares herself the new leader to nullify its perceived effect. Yachiyo relents and agrees to work with Iroha to save their friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the same time, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, having detected Mami&#039;s magic while investigating Kamihama, investigate the closed Kamihama Recording Museum. They are attacked by the Wings of the Magius. While Madoka and Homura hold them off, Sayaka proceeds and witnesses Mami, transformed into &amp;quot;Holy Mami,&amp;quot; attacking Iroha and Yachiyo. It is here that Sayaka learns the horrific truth that Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: A Stand-Off With Fate]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, now a brainwashed member of the Wings of the Magius, confronts them. As Iroha and Yachiyo are too injured to fight, Sayaka Miki arrives and intervenes. Sayaka uses a bomb from Homura to create a diversion, allowing the three to escape.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After their escape, Sayaka gives Iroha a Grief Seed. Iroha explains the truth about Witches and the Wings of the Magius to Sayaka, who is horrified. Sayaka leaves to process this information and Iroha and Yachiyo walk home in silence to reflect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After fleeing the museum, Sayaka reunites with Madoka and Homura, defeats their pursuers in a distraught state, and explains what happened to Mami to them, as well as the truth about becoming Witches.The group returns to Mitakihara in silence but Madoka resolves to find a way to avoid their fate and to save Mami. Sayaka agrees to fight back as well and later decides to meet with Kyoko Sakura.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, at Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo reaffirm their commitment to save their friends and Momoko arrives, having told the secret of Magical Girls to Rena and Kaede. Yachiyo also apologizes for her actions and explains her fears about her wish. Momoko forgives her and reaffirms their friendship. Iroha then receives a text from Madoka, who promises to come to Kamihama to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Sayaka meets Kyoko and reveals the truth about Witches. Kyoko deduces this is what the Wings of the Magius meant by &amp;quot;saving&amp;quot; Magical Girls. Kyoko declares she will find a way to avoid becoming a Witch and confront the Wings of the Magius alone, rejecting Sayaka&#039;s offer of help. Despite Sayaka&#039;s protests, Kyoko leaves to operate solo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Likely during this time, Yachiyo pulls out a box containing what her former friends Kanae Yukino and Mel Anna left behind. She has never opened it since filling it and spends the entire day staring at it, unable to lift the lid. When Iroha arrives and asks about it, Yachiyo explains and admits she is trying to work through her feelings. Iroha offers to help, but Yachiyo deflects, reminding her they were supposed to visit Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls visit Mitama Yakumo and present Grief Seeds as payment for adjustment. Mitama is surprised by the offering and promises to do her best, but she expresses concern about Yachiyo&#039;s emotional state. She suggests Yachiyo clear up her issues with the box before moving forward and offers to adjust both girls at once as a special exception.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Mitama works on her, Yachiyo finds herself in a gray room confronted by a shadowy doppelganger. The shadow accuses her of being afraid of the future and clinging to the past. When Yachiyo refuses to give in to despair, the shadow transforms into her doppel, but she stands firm, accepting her fear while choosing to move forward. Iroha appears beside her, and together they bid farewell to visions of Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo awakens and realizes Mitama adjusted them together intentionally, trusting Iroha could help her if needed. She thanks Mitama for looking out for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at her house, Yachiyo finally opens the box with Iroha beside her. Inside, Kanae left a book of lyrics about becoming a circle with others, and Mel left fortune telling impressions predicting a future where many magical girls would gather in Kamihama. Yachiyo cries as she reads their words. Iroha suggests they head toward that gentle future together. Yachiyo agrees but says first they need to get back their own three points: Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha resolves to find her lost friends and mentally tells Ui to wait a bit longer. Iroha and Yachiyo finish cleaning their house. Iroha resolves to give the coasters she and the others bought for Yachiyo when everyone is reunited. Iroha says she sent a message to Madoka in Mitakihara City, but hasn&#039;t gotten a response.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 7: Awakening to Paradise]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Immediately after Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana are taken, Mifuyu reports to Touka and Alina that the brainwashing on the three is holding, so Touka selects Tsuruno for a mission, which Alina states will involve &amp;quot;mass murder.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in her room, Iroha thinks back to when she celebrated Christmas with her friends, but resolves to keep going with her mission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sunday, the 11th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo investigate the Kamihama Rumor Files at Mikazuki Villa. Iroha recognizes some of the Rumors. They meet with Momoko, who mentions Tsuruno&#039;s perfect school attendance record is now broken and that a new amusement park is also opening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo visit Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant and her father reveals Tsuruno and Felicia visited once. Tsuruno told him she found a place where she feels safe and would not return and he notes her expression was blank, similar to how she looked a year ago after Mel&#039;s death. Afterwards, a White Feather ambushes Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will be used for a mission like Tsuruno, and the two fight off the attacker.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Monday, the 12th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo devise a plan to destroy Rumors across Kamihama to lure out the Wings of the Magius and locate their base. They share this plan with Momoko, who offers to help by getting Grief Seeds for them while they hunt. Momoko then goes to check on Kaede, who is hiding in her room. She hugs Kaede and tells her she and Rena will always be there to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo systematically hunt Rumors like the &amp;quot;Historical Battle Marker,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Castle Town Illusion,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Headless Biker Gang,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Puzzle Tiles Lock,&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;Fashion Monster.&amp;quot; They also interrogate captured Feathers, but none reveal information about Tsuruno, Felicia, or Sana&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Momoko investigates a rapidly spreading rumor about a new amusement park. She notes it originated in the east and spread west through Sakae, Mizuna, and Shinsei Wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha and Yachiyo analyze the Kamihama Rumor Files, marking all known Rumor locations on a map. They identify a pattern: Rumors cluster more densely in Shinsei Ward, with a notable concentration around Satomi Medical Center, the hospital where Ui was supposedly treated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They travel to the hospital area and are ambushed by Feathers. Felicia and Sana, who had broken free of the brainwashing, arrive and help fight off the attackers. The four Magical Girls reunite and Felicia and Sana reveal they pretended to be brainwashed to gather information. Momoko confirms the amusement park rumor spread from east to west and will open at dawn in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Sana explain to Yachiyo and Iroha that Mifuyu used her illusion magic to break their brainwashing. Mifuyu revealed the Magius are protecting and strengthening Witches for their liberation plan and are planning to use the brainwashed Magical Girls to cross a dangerous line. Mifuyu attempted to free Tsuruno but failed, as Tsuruno&#039;s reason for being brainwashed was different. Mifuyu then helped Felicia and Sana escape but chose to remain behind, stating they would be enemies next time they meet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko arrives and shares her investigation into a new Rumor about an amusement park opening at dawn in two days. She confirms it spread from the east, and the group overlays the Rumor locations on a map and identifies a pattern suggesting a source or &amp;quot;eye of the storm&amp;quot; in the eastern wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kanagi screenshot.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo decides to contact Kanagi Izumi, the powerful Magical Girl who controls the eastern Daito and Kosho Wards and is a former rival of hers. Kanagi agrees to an alliance, and during their call, Tsukasa of the Wings of the Magius arrives at Kanagi&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tuesday, the 13th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The morning, Felicia and Sana try to accompany Iroha and Yachiyo but are told to rest due to their collapse the previous night. Iroha and Yachiyo leave them behind. Meanwhile in Kosho Ward, Iroha, Yachiyo, Momoko, and Kanagi meet and Kanagi agrees to ally with them against the Wings of the Magius. They combine their Rumor data on a map, which reveals a circular pattern with a vacant center in Kosho Ward and Kanagi identifies the old railway yard as the likely location of the Wings&#039; base.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After learning the truth about Witches, Madoka questions Kyubey about a way to avoid becoming a Witch. Kyubey states he knows of no method and reveals he cannot enter Kamihama City himself. He proposes an alliance to investigate the Wings of the Magius but Madoka refuses to promise cooperation. She resolves to return to Kamihama with her friends, but then a Witch from Kamihama appears in Mitakihara.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 7: Eve of the Awakening]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura defeat the Kamihama Witch. They share Grief Seeds and note the alarming appearance of foreign Witches in their city. The trio resolves to go to Kamihama the next day to find answers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Around this time, Kyoko successfully infiltrates the Wings of the Magius. She is assigned to a team tasked with dealing with a group that erases Rumors, which she suspects is Iroha&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s group travels to the railway yard but finds it empty. They are ambushed by Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who summon Witches and during the battle, Kanagi uses her unique power to read Iroha&#039;s true intentions and confirms her sincerity. Kanagi then joins the fight and helps defeat the Amane sisters and their Black Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi uses her power on the defeated Amane sisters to read their minds and she learns that Tsuruno is still completely brainwashed and has become part of an Uwasa to protect it. She also learns Tsuruno&#039;s location is at the Ferris Wheel Field in Daito Ward and the group prepares to move out immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Sana and Felicia wait anxiously and Yachiyo calls them with an update.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Rena visits Kaede at her house, and after an argument involving slapping and pinching, Kaede reconciles with Rena and agrees to return to school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team arrives in Daito Ward, where Yachiyo and Iroha plan to enter the &amp;quot;amusement park&amp;quot; Rumor to save Tsuruno, while Felicia, Sana, Momoko, and Kanagi hold off the Wings of the Magius. The group locates the Rumor&#039;s entrance and Kanagi and Momoko stay behind to fight the Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo proceed and confront Alina, Touka, and Mifuyu, where Alina declares her intent to erase them. During the battle, Mifuyu secretly tells Yachiyo that destroying the main Uwasa will kill Tsuruno, and that they must instead tear the Uwasa from her by connecting with her heart. Mifuyu also reveals Tsuruno is in a Ferris wheel car.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101705 uwasatsuruno.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo enter the Rumor, &amp;quot;Chelation Land,&amp;quot; which induces a hazy, thoughtless state. They find Tsuruno, who has fully merged with the Uwasa and acts as the park&#039;s host. Tsuruno tries to force them to relax and stay, serving them hotpot in mugs reminiscent of Mikazuki Villa, but they refuse and attempt to reason with Tsuruno, and she attacks them. Following Mifuyu&#039;s advice, they combine their magic to tear the Uwasa from Tsuruno in one powerful strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nemu02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After Tsuruno is freed from the Uwasa, Yachiyo realizes that Tsuruno&#039;s cheerful demeanor was a facade to hide her pain and guilt over past events, including the death of Mel. The team defeats the main Uwasa of Chelation Land and the Magius, Touka, Nemu Hiiragi, and Alina, confront the group. Nemu reveals she is the &amp;quot;Creator&amp;quot; of all the Rumors in Kamihama and the Magius explain their goal: to use the energy generated by Rumors and Witches to hatch &amp;quot;Embryo Eve,&amp;quot; a being that will liberate all Magical Girls worldwide from the fate of becoming Witches. They state the phenomenon requires the presence of all three Magius and a massive energy source, for which they have used the people of Kamihama and the teams part ways in opposition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 14th==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101701 coaster02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, at Mikazuki Villa, the team summarizes the Magius&#039; plan and that Kamihama is an incubator for Embryo Eve. They resolve to stop the Magius due to the plan&#039;s high human cost and the group gives Yachiyo the set of sakura blossom-themed coasters as a symbol of their team unity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka are separately attacked by multiple Kamihama Witches in Mitakihara before reuniting. They realize the Witch incursion is a coordinated attack meant to prevent them from leaving Mitakihara. Their magic and Grief Seed reserves are heavily depleted in the constant battles.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the ongoing Witch attacks, the trio is overwhelmed by a powerful Witch and is forced to retreat. Sayaka breaks down, admitting her terror of becoming a Witch and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka share their fears and resolve to face the threat together. They are observed by Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, who imply the attack is part of their plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Fendt Hope, Kyoko, having gained the trust of her unit, is taken on a tour of the Wings of the Magius headquarters by her White Feather superior.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, the three defeat the Feathers sent to observe them, and after interrogating them, they receive a message from Iroha about how to save Mami. Holy Mami arrives to Mitakihara and reveals she brought the Witches to Mitakihara to keep the three of them &amp;quot;safe,&amp;quot; and insists the Magius will save them. Alina Gray also appears and traps Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka in a Barrier, which Mami seals with her ribbons.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her infiltration, Kyoko is taken to Hotel Fenthope by Mifuyu Azusa. She confronts Holy Mami, accusing her of not being the real Mami Tomoe. Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi arrive and reinforce the Rumor brainwashing on Mami. Mifuyu secretly escorts Kyoko away and reveals the Magius&#039; plans: they are using a mysterious entity called &amp;quot;Eve&amp;quot; to liberate Magical Girls and are deliberately bringing Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama to hatch it. Horrified, Kyoko rejects the Magius and is led out of the city by Mifuyu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Once More From Here]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko arrives in Mitakihara and frees Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka from Alina&#039;s Barrier. She explains the Magius&#039; plan to bring Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama and Homura urges the group to stay in Mitakihara for safety. Kyoko departs alone, later resolving to return and crush the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Iroha has a sudden memory flashback to the hospital, triggered by the word &amp;quot;sakura.&amp;quot; She remembers a story she, Ui, Touka, and Nemu created about the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot; She deduces this Rumor is real and located at the hospital, and that all the Rumors were created there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Touka and Nemu observe that Embryo Eve has reached a critical state and they confirm that a legendary, cross-dimensional event they foresaw: the arrival of Walpurgisnacht, will provide the final, massive energy surge needed to hatch Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo calls a meeting with the Mikazuki Villa household, Tsuruno, and the Momoko trio to share her concern that rumors persist even after they defeat the Uwasa themselves. The group splits up to investigate whether the original Uwasa have truly vanished or transformed into something new.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Hereafter]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko, Kaede, and Rena investigate the Breakup Staircase and find only scattered internet gossip remains. During their search, lingering tensions surface over Rena&#039;s painful memories of when Kaede was kidnapped by that Uwasa, but the trio ultimately reconciles and continues working together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno visit Mizuna Shrine, where the Séance Shrine Uwasa has transformed into a popular spot for relationship prayers with new mascots. They encounter a grieving girl who comes daily to pray for her deceased friend, and Yachiyo is reminded of her own departed companions Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Felicia track down the man behind the revived Misery Water rumor, who confesses he was scammed into buying the water and cannot bring himself to deceive others. Felicia helps him find honest work, and the rumors die out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana investigates an online forum where troubled users make veiled threats, but the rumor fades without incident. Tsuruno and Iroha check Chelation Land, where Tsuruno reflects on her past brainwashing and muses about whether some Uwasa exist independently of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The groups reconvene and report that all investigated rumors have left minimal traces. Yachiyo concludes their investigation of the Uwasa is complete, and only the Wings of Magius themselves remain to be confronted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voices from Beyond, Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the afterlife, Mel Anna meets Kanae Yukino, another Magical Girl ghost who also died fighting a Witch. Mel is thrilled to discover they were both on a team with Yachiyo Nanami and calls Kanae her senpai. Kanae takes Mel to a ghost cafe where deceased Magical Girls gather, explaining they cannot interact with the living world except through psychics.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Voices From Beyond]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they wander Kamihama, Mel notices Witch numbers rising dramatically and worries about Yachiyo. They follow Yachiyo and are relieved to find she has new companions in Iroha Tamaki and others, though they remain concerned about their former teammate Mifuyu&#039;s absence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, they watch helplessly as Yachiyo battles the Wings of Magius and eventually enters the Memory Museum, where she relives the trauma of losing Mel and Kanae. When Yachiyo dissolves her team afterward, convinced her magic causes others to die for her, the ghosts desperately try to reach her. Kanae notices Yachiyo kept their mementos: Mel&#039;s fortune log and Kanae&#039;s notebook. They focus their thoughts on these items, and that night, Yachiyo discovers their messages—Kanae&#039;s lyrics about forming a circle and Mel&#039;s fortune predicting the current events. Grateful, she resolves to move forward. Their successful contact gets their ghost licenses suspended, and they watch Yachiyo&#039;s dream of their encounter before fading.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 15th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius initiate a city-wide offensive, unleashing powerful Witches and sending brainwashed Black and White Feathers to indiscriminately attack other Magical Girls. Mami delivers a declaration of war to Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will no longer delay their plan for &amp;quot;freedom.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Kamihama, Painted in Fiction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magical Girls of Kamihama form a coordinated response and Yachiyo&#039;s team devises a strategy: first, eliminate the unleashed Witches; second, protect other Magical Girls and direct them to Mitama&#039;s shop as a safe haven; third, deal with the rampaging Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, recalling the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; in Hokuyo Ward, theorizes it could be the location of the Magius&#039; hidden base. Yachiyo approves Iroha and Sana to investigate this lead separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next several hours, the teams execute the plan. Yachiyo rescues Ren from a Black Feather and escorts her to Mitama&#039;s shop. Kaede Afinds Konomi protecting an injured Kako; together they defeat a Witch and get Kako to safety. Rena aids Asuka and Sasara, later teaming with Ria and Manaka to defeat a Witch. Momoko and Aimi rescue Kokoro and Masara from Feathers. Tsuruno works with Hinano to eliminate a Witch and warns her about the Feathers. Felicia fights alongside Akira and Nanaka&#039;s group, eventually reuniting with Tsuruno. Kanagi protects Himika from Feathers and sends her to Mitama&#039;s. Yachiyo and Kanagi also rescue Riko and Ayaka from Feather attacks and track the enemy to a heliport. Yachiyo, Kanagi, Momoko&#039;s team, and Tsuruno&#039;s team successfully clear the city of the powerful Witches and they rescue and guide numerous Magical Girls to Mitama&#039;s shop. Momoko confronts Mitama, challenging her to abandon her neutral stance and Mitama agrees to allow her shop to be used as a headquarters and to share her knowledge about the Magius&#039; plans.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama reveals the truth that Magical Girls are destined to become Witches, and that the Magius aim to use the energy from Embryo Eve to spread the Doppel phenomenon worldwide, preventing this fate. However, their methods involve sacrificing the citizens of Kamihama and other Magical Girls to gather this energy, so the Magical Girls at the shelter decide to join the fight against the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, in Chuo Ward, Yachiyo and Kanagi are ambushed by Mami and a horde of brainwashed Feathers at the Kamihama Central Tower heliport. The battle is difficult due to the Feathers&#039; numbers and Mami&#039;s enhanced power from the Uwasa. Kanagi reads Mami&#039;s mind and finds her personality has been completely overwritten by the Uwasa&#039;s influence, leaving only her devotion to the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia then arrive as reinforcements and during the fight, a Black Feather loses her &amp;quot;Receiver Pendant.&amp;quot; Kanagi reads this Feather&#039;s mind, uncovering that the Feathers&#039; berserk state is caused by the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Receiver Pendant,&amp;quot; which numbs their emotions and forces them to obey the Magius&#039; orders. The memory also reveals the three Magius orchestrating the attack to harvest emotional energy from the chaos, believing it will bring their utopia closer. The Feather who lost her pendant then begins to regain her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team battles the brainwashed Mami and the Wings of the Magius. With the help of Momoko&#039;s team and Kanagi&#039;s ability to read the enemy&#039;s weakness, they remove the Uwasa from Mami, freeing her from its control. Mami collapses from exhaustion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Homura pleads with Madoka and Sayaka not to go to Kamihama, fearing for their lives against Walpurgisnacht. After initial hesitation, Madoka and Sayaka resolve to go and Homura agrees to accompany them. The trio leaves for Kamihama but cannot contact Iroha Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Upon arriving in Kamihama, the three are attacked by brainwashed Black Feathers in Sakae Ward, but the Feathers suddenly regain their senses and flee. The trio pursues them into Central Ward and meets Kanoko Yayoi, Karin Misono, and Natsuki Utsuho. They learn that other Magical Girls are gathering at Mitama Yakumo&#039;s office and Karin reveals she saw Nanaka Tokiwa carrying an unconscious Mami there. The group goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds Mami, who has been freed from the Magius&#039; control and awakens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius then execute their plan: they cause a city-wide blackout and seize control of Kamihama&#039;s radio waves and power grid. They use Nemu&#039;s power to project a false utopia over the city, attracting Witches, and Touka&#039;s power to send a signal that summons the legendary Witch, Walpurgisnacht. Their goal is to use the chaos and emotional energy to hatch &amp;quot;Eve.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana infiltrate the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; Labyrinth, initially having their presence hidden due to Sana&#039;s unique magic. There, Iroha confronts Touka and Nemu, using the Uwasa itself as proof that her memories of their shared past with Ui are real. Despite this, Touka and Nemu don&#039;t believe her and refuse to halt their plans. Alina arrives, captures Iroha, and takes her to their main base, Hotel Fendt Hope. Afterwards, Sana escapes and informs Yachiyo&#039;s arriving team of Iroha&#039;s capture.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Mitama reveals she previously supplied the Wings with Grief Seeds in exchange for neutrality but has now chosen to side with Yachiyo&#039;s team against them. Mami herself awakens, now having reconciled with her inner turmoil. Now, Yachiyo&#039;s team, reinforced by Momoko&#039;s team and Mami, prepares to assault Hotel Fendt Hope to rescue Iroha and stop the Magius before Walpurgisnacht arrives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, freed from the Uwasa&#039;s influence, resolves to expose the Magius&#039; true plans to the Feathers and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka decide to support her instead of joining Iroha&#039;s group. Nanaka and her team escort them to the heliport and during the journey, Mami explains to Nanaka that the Feathers&#039; loyalty was placed not in the Magius themselves, but in Mifuyu Azusa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 9: Take My Hand]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the heliport, Mami arrives where the exhausted Feathers and Kamihama Magical Girls are at a stalemate. She reveals the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice hundreds of civilians, including the Feathers&#039; own friends and family, to Walpurgisnacht. She also details their previous use of the Chelation Land Rumor for a similar purpose and the Feathers are shocked and dismayed. Some even accuse Mami of hypocrisy, which she does not deny.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Feathers split into two factions: one that still desires liberation at any cost and another that vows to protect Kamihama. A fight breaks out between them and Madoka and the others defend Mami, declaring their unwavering friendship. Moved, Mami asks the Feathers if they have anyone they trust unconditionally, as she now does, and the Feathers state they trust Mifuyu and demand to hear the truth from her directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami entrusts the Feathers to Nanaka&#039;s team, while she, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka then proceed to Hotel Fendthope to aid Iroha. On the way, Mami thanks her friends and asks them to rely on her as an equal ally and friend, not as a veteran. They arrive at the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Mitama is guarding the entrance. She confirms she is aware of Mami&#039;s past struggles and allows the group to pass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 16th==&lt;br /&gt;
* At Hotel Fendt Hope, Sana infiltrates the hotel to find Iroha and she overhears Feathers discussing Iroha&#039;s location and heads there. Iroha is held in a cell and, with her Soul Gem confiscated, she reflects on her memories of Ui, Touka, and Nemu and resolves to stop the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their plans and Alina demands Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem and body be brought to her. A weather report at the same time indicates the approach of Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana locates Iroha&#039;s cell, and she breaks Iroha out, but the act of breaking the cell door triggers an Uwasa, as the entire building is part of a Rumor. Sana defeats the Uwasa and as they flee, they are ambushed by Black Feathers. Kyoko Sakura, who was undergoing an orientation with the Feathers but decided against joining them, intervenes and helps defeat the attackers as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha explains the Magius&#039; goal is to summon Walpurgisnacht, and Kyoko reveals the Magius also plan to use Iroha, Mifuyu, and the Amane sisters as nourishment for &amp;quot;Eve,&amp;quot; the core of the system. Suddenly, Iroha collapses and stops breathing due to the distance from her Soul Gem. A Black Feather who pretended to be unconscious seizes Iroha&#039;s body and escapes with it, and Sana and Kyoko give chase.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team enters the Hotel Fendt Hope through the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth and they split into two teams: Yachiyo&#039;s group heads to the top floor to rescue Mifuyu and the Amane sisters, while Momoko&#039;s group searches for Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team finds Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa unconscious, their bodies separated from their Soul Gems. They quickly recover the Soul Gems, reviving the three, and Mifuyu confirms the Magius summoned Walpurgisnacht to provide energy to hatch Eve. Mifuyu and the Amane sisters renounce the Magius and join Yachiyo&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Iroha is transported by a Black Feather who reveals her motivation: her younger sister turned into a Witch, and she supports the Magius to prevent others from suffering the same fate. Momoko&#039;s team intercepts them and rescues Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko and Sana fight their way through the hotel and reunite with the main group. Momoko&#039;s team recovers a bag containing Iroha&#039;s, Mifuyu&#039;s, and the Amane sisters&#039; Soul Gems. A group of Feathers from the East confronts them but is persuaded by Kanagi to stand down, and they retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the teams reunited, the full coalition of Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, Kanagi, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Kyoko regroups. They possess all the stolen Soul Gems and are united in their goal to stop the Magius and confront Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team&#039;s path to the underground chapel is blocked and Mifuyu determines the magical building, a Rumor crafted by Nemu Hiiragi, has been reconfigured. Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa attempt to break the blockade, but a powerful magical wind erupts, separating the group. Mifuyu, the Amane sisters, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, and Kyoko are blown outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, Sana, Felicia, Tsuruno, and Kanagi remain inside and they defeat an Uwasa that attacks them. Mifuyu communicates from outside that they are locked out, and she devises a new plan: her group will gather other Kamihama Magical Girls to attack and destroy the Uwasa of Hotel Fendt Hope itself, which will collapse the building. She instructs Yachiyo&#039;s group to hurry to the underground chapel for safety before the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu&#039;s group fights off Witches released by Alina Gray as a defense measure. Mami, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka also arrive and assist them. After the battle, Mami convinces Mifuyu to address all the Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, and using the Amane sisters&#039; sound magic, Mifuyu broadcasts a telepathic message across Kamihama, revealing the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice civilians and summon Walpurgisnacht. She urges the Feathers to lay down their arms and prepare to fight the legendary Witch. Many Feathers also heed her call and defect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami then uses her magic to create a small opening in the building&#039;s barrier and enters Hotel Fendt Hope alone to rejoin Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kyoko is noted to be absent. Yachiyo&#039;s team searches for the entrance to the underground chapel and Mami reveals she concealed the entrance with her magic. She severs the ribbon hiding the path, officially breaking her ties with the Wings of the Magius and Mami then leaves to assist with the attack on the Uwasa of Fendt Hope outside. Kyoko meets Mami along the way and gives her a Grief Seed before they both exit the building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team then encounters false copies of Touka, Nemu, and Alina from the Mirror Witch&#039;s barrier; they realize the fakes speak differently and defeat them before continuing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, Mifuyu&#039;s group, now joined by Mami, Kyoko, and the Feathers who defected, attacks the Uwasa of Fendt Hope. Despite a coordinated assault, the Uwasa proves extremely resilient and withstands their combined power. The battle continues as the city-wide weather disaster escalates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team proceeds down a long staircase into a deep, dark underground area filled with strong magical impurities. Along the way, they are confronted by Mirror copies of themselves that voice their deepest insecurities, but each member overcomes their own doubts by relying on their friends. In the underground chapel, they find Alina, Nemu, and Touka waiting for them. At the back of the chapel, they see the massive, unhatched form of the Witch known as Embryo Eve. They reveal the full scope of their plan. They explain that Kyubey&#039;s true mission is to harvest the emotional energy of Magical Girls to counteract the universe&#039;s heat death. The cycle of hope and despair, culminating in a Magical Girl&#039;s transformation into a Witch, produces the necessary energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius intend to usurp this system. They plan to use the phase transition energy from Eve&#039;s transformation into a full Witch to create a permanent forcefield over Kamihama. This field would allow Magical Girls to release their impurities as Doppels instead of becoming Witches, and the energy would be fed back to the universe, making Kyubey and new Magical Girl contracts obsolete. The imminent arrival of Walpurgisnacht is a key part of their plan, as its destruction by Eve will provide the massive energy required.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Despite understanding the plan, Iroha and her team refuse to accept the Magius&#039; methods or their control over the future. The Magius argue that without their plan, Walpurgisnacht will destroy the city regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 2.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, the battle against the Uwasa of Fendt Hope continues. Realizing they are losing, Mifuyu uses a dangerous self-illusion to unleash all her magic at once in a final attack. She destroys the Uwasa but becomes incapacitated in the process as her Soul Gem starts breaking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the chapel, the destruction of the Uwasa causes Fendt Hope&#039;s Labyrinth to collapse, and the chapel is exposed to the outside as the building disappears. After the collapse of Hotel Fendt Hope, the teams reunite in the forest as the Labyrinth vanishes. Yachiyo learns that Mifuyu was severely injured destroying the Uwasa and was taken to Mitama for treatment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius appear with Embryo Eve, now freed from the chapel, and they prepare to fully release Eve so it can devour the approaching Walpurgisnacht. A battle ensues as the teams try to stop them and Iroha and Sana break through the defensive line of Familiars to attack Eve directly. Iroha&#039;s attack on Eve fails and Eve captures Iroha but does not harm her. A bright light emanates from Iroha, allowing Sana to rescue her. Sana reveals she possesses a branch from the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, which was not in bloom when she received it. The branch suddenly blossoms after Iroha touches Eve and Iroha realizes that Embryo Eve is her missing sister, Ui Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana confront Embryo Eve on Takayama Mountain and Iroha believes Eve is her sister, Ui Tamaki, but Eve breaks free from the mountain and begins to move toward Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama City, Walpurgisnacht approaches from the sea, accompanied by a massive horde of Familiars that begin to swarm the city. Magical Girl teams led by Hinano Miyako and Nanaka Tokiwa engage the Familiars along the coast to prevent widespread destruction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the ruins of Hotel Fendt Hope, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo bring the injured Mifuyu to Mitama Yakumo for emergency aid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Takayama Mountain, Iroha pleads with the combined Magical Girl forces not to kill Eve, revealing her belief that it is Ui. The Magius leaders and Alina retreat. Eve leaps into the sky, heading for Sankyo Ward in Kamihama. Yachiyo Nanami&#039;s team prepares to pursue Eve, while Madoka Kaname&#039;s group from Mitakihara heads to the coast to help defend against Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Magius headquarters, Touka and Nemu dismiss Iroha&#039;s claims about Ui, despite Nemu&#039;s private suspicions. Alina expresses interest in Iroha&#039;s memories but remains focused on Eve&#039;s hatching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Eve&#039;s arrival in Sankyo Ward, Mitama informs Iroha and the team that Ui&#039;s true body and Soul Gem are contained within Embryo Eve, which is a &amp;quot;Half-Witch.&amp;quot; To save Ui, they must defeat Eve&#039;s manifested form without destroying the Soul Gem and Mitama identifies a large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest as the core that maintains its form and its weak point. Mitama also treats the comatose Mifuyu, whose Soul Gem is critically cracked from overuse. Mitama stabilizes it but cannot fully heal her, and Tsukuyo and Tsukasa decide to rejoin the fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Eve rampages through Sankyo Ward, the combined Magical Girl teams attack Eve but find their assaults completely ineffective. Mitama, the Amane sisters, and other groups like Hinano Miyako&#039;s team regroup and they decide to consolidate their forces: one group will focus on defeating Eve, while the other prepares for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s landfall.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia readies her hammer and strikes Eve on the head with a magic‑powered blow, using her memory‑obliterating ability to confuse Eve and halt its advance; in the aftermath of the strike, a strange glow is visible near Eve&#039;s belly. Meanwhile, the Amane sisters relay the critical intelligence about Eve&#039;s red jewel weak point to Yachiyo&#039;s team. Eve begins to move toward Chuo Ward, and Sana proposes a plan to immobilize Eve so the team can target its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, the combined forces of Yachiyo&#039;s team, the Amane sisters, and other White Feathers execute a plan to immobilize Embryo Eve. They use chains from Sana&#039;s shield, spears, and plants to bind Eve to a large building and Iroha successfully strikes the large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest, its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eve retaliates by absorbing a massive vortex of impurities its Familiars had collected, causing its body to mutate and merge with the jewel. Iroha then sees a vision of Ui trapped within the core, reaffirming her resolve to save her, but the Magius arrive to protect Eve and ensure it consumes Walpurgisnacht. Iroha declares her intent to enter the gem to save Ui directly, and despite being severely injured, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia hold off the Magius, creating an opening for Iroha to advance toward Eve&#039;s core.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:10-19.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha reaches Ui&#039;s body but cannot shatter the gem surrounding it completely. Touka arrives at her side, and questions her motives. Iroha declares Ui is her sister and a precious friend to Touka and Nemu, and as Iroha reaches for Ui, the Embryo Eve attacks and Lil&#039; Kyubey intervenes and blocks the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu experience a flood of memories, recalling the original events. She remembers seeing Iroha with Kyubey in a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, learning about Magical Girls, and devising a plan with Ui and Nemu to usurp Kyubey&#039;s powers to create an automatic purification system and save all Magical Girls. Their plan failed when Ui&#039;s &amp;quot;harvest&amp;quot; ability went haywire upon her transformation, forcing Nemu to sever Ui&#039;s soul from her body and store it within the de-powered, small Kyubey to prevent her from becoming a Witch. This act erased Ui from the world&#039;s memory, as well as any traces of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Regaining their memories, Touka uses her stored energy to destabilize the Embryo Eve and Nemu uses her stories to restrain it. Iroha shatters Eve&#039;s central gem, and the small Kyubey releases Ui&#039;s soul. Ui awakens and reassures Touka and Nemu that she does not blame them for their shared decision. The Embryo Eve, now soulless, begins to decay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined Magical Girl forces, including Mami, Kyoko, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura, continue their battle against Walpurgisnacht in Chuo Ward. Despite their numbers, the Witch proves immensely powerful and resilient.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102304 mikage desire.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, a massive explosion of light and energy erupts from the location of the decaying Embryo Eve. The Eve has transformed into a new, stable form, and Touka deduces that Alina, who had previously shrunk the anti-Kyubey forcefield to contain the city&#039;s energy, has now wrapped that forcefield tightly around Eve. This action stabilized Eve&#039;s energy and prevented its decay, allowing Alina to control it as a tool for her art. Alina appears, now fused with an Uwasa in a manner similar to [[Holy Mami]], and declares her intent to use Eve to create her ultimate masterpiece, disregarding the goal of Magical Girl liberation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, as this is taking place, [[Mikage Yakumo]], Mitama&#039;s younger sister, is approached by Kyubey when the Barrier disappears. After he explains Mitama&#039;s wish to her, Mikage makes a wish of her own to undo the effects of Mitama&#039;s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Chapter 2: Smiles and Fireworks]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Holy Alina]] asserts that humanity subconsciously desires destruction and that she will use the Embryo Eve to fulfill this wish as her ultimate artwork. Kanagi confronts her own past desire to destroy the city due to its history of conflict but ultimately rejects Alina&#039;s path as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 nemu uwasa.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu, as the creator of Alina&#039;s Uwasa, takes responsibility. She uses the last of her life force to summon every Uwasa recorded in her book to attack Alina directly. The attack defeats Alina, making her disappear, but Nemu collapses, severely weakened and unable to move her legs, so White Feathers evacuate her to safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 eve user1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Embryo Eve, now uncontrolled, begins to rampage and targets Ui, attempting to reabsorb her. Lil&#039; Kyubey implies a solution: it will take Ui&#039;s place within Eve. Touka realizes that the small Kyubey, which contains Ui&#039;s former soul and Kyubey&#039;s original functions, possesses similar attributes to Eve. It is also incapable of becoming a Witch. Lil&#039; Kyubey merges with the Embryo Eve, causing it to release all orbs of light from its body, lading in different parts of Kamihama. The small Kyubey thus becomes the core of the &amp;quot;Automatic Purification System&amp;quot; that Touka, Ui, and Nemu originally envisioned, preventing Magical Girls from becoming Witches within Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival, the combined forces of Magical Girls, including the various teams from Kamihama and the team from Mitakihara, are on the verge of defeat. Homura and the others exhaust their weapons and energy in a desperate attempt to defeat it. They are exhausted, out of Grief Seeds, many are incapacitated, and despite their injuries and depleted resources, the girls refuse to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Last Magia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Walpurgisnacht prepares a massive attack that seems certain to annihilate them, an unknown, benevolent force envelops the Magical Girls. Iroha hears a mysterious voice and sees white feathers raining down, an experience shared by everyone on the battlefield. They all experience a sudden surge of energy and a feeling of being urged forward. This voice is from the Law of Cycles, who had been watching the timeline but not interfering with it. The feathers rejuvenate the group, lifting their spirits and empowering them to continue fighting; their strength is restored, and even the injured find themselves able to fight again. With morale returned, they rally together for one final, united assault, redirecting Walpurgisnacht to Kaihin Park using a coordinated strategy with their unique magical abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined forces of Magical Girls coordinate their unique magics to combat Walpurgisnacht: &lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Natsuki Utsuho initiate the counterattack by using their Encouragement and Cheering magic to boost the morale and power of all allies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seizing this surge of energy, the team implements a complex strategy to control the battlefield. First, Felicia, Meiyui Chun, and Rika Ayano use their Memory Erasure, Persuasion, and Mind-Altering magic to disorient Walpurgisnacht and force it to change course toward the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** To precisely guide the Witch to the intended battleground, Tsuruno, Riko Chiaki, and Emiri Kisaki then use their Good Luck, Luring, and Charm magic, successfully leading Walpurgisnacht to the beachfront park while evading its attacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Once there, the focus shifts to immobilizing the colossal foe. Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Asuka Tatsuki use their Flute Blossom Resonance and Action Control magic in an attempt to halt Walpurgisnacht&#039;s movement entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When it retaliates, Himika Mao diverts its attacks, creating an opening for Kanagi Izumi, who, with a power boost from Mitama&#039;s Coordination, attacks it directly to stun it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** This creates the crucial opening for a full restraint, and Mami, Kanoko Yayoi, and Kaede use Ribbon Binding, Stitching, and Plant magic to ensnare the Witch, which Rena amplified by using her Transformation magic to transform into Kaede and double the restraining power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Walpurgisnacht finally immobilized, Nanaka organizes their forces while Hazuki Yusa and Akira Shinobu identify its weak point with their magic, a gear connected to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire group then launch a coordinated, all-out assault, with offensive magics like Hinano Miyako&#039;s Chemical Explosions leading the charge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout the final attack, Kokoro Awane, Ayame Mikuri, and Konoha Shizumi provide vital defense with their Wall Creation, Safeguarding, and Fog Generation magic, protecting the assault team and ensuring their united strike could land.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Realizing their combined assault was not enough to deliver a final blow, the Magical Girls regroup and to ensure they could act as one perfect unit, Reira Ibuki uses her Purifying Flame to heal their wounds and replenish their energy, while Mito Aino uses her Heart-Linking magic to synchronize their hearts and minds, allowing their resolve to become perfectly aligned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With their spirits united, they form a new strategy and Konomi Haruna uses her magic to force their Fighting Spirit to Bloom, amplifying their collective potential, while Kako Natsume uses her Event Reproduction magic to reinforce the gathered energy, and Ren Isuzu enacts her Nirvana magic to ensure the attack would bring permanent rest to the Witch if successful.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The plan to create a final weapon then commences. Ui uses her Harvest magic to gather the hope and magical energy from every single Magical Girl on the battlefield. She passes this immense energy to Touka, who used her Conversion magic to condense it all into a single, concentrated mass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* This mass of collective hope is then entrusted to Yachiyo, whose unique magic of Inheritance allows her to embody and control the power. She and Iroha shape this energy into a gigantic, radiant arrow aimed at the weak point that had been identified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they prepared to fire, Walpurgisnacht launches an attack to free itself from their binds. In that moment, Homura activates her Time-Stop, and touches Iroha, allowing her to move within the suspended time and take aim unimpeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the path clear, Iroha releases the arrow and strikes the central gear with overwhelming force. As time resumed, the arrow consumed Walpurgisnacht in a brilliant explosion, finally ending the calamity and clearing the sky over Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102005 magicalgirl3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura reflects that she has finally surpassed this battle after countless timelines, and Madoka expresses relief that no more people will suffer from Walpurgisnacht. The girls in Kamihama also celebrate their hard-earned victory, despite the fact that many are injured and exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Epilogue==&lt;br /&gt;
* Some days after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, Iroha and Ui see their parents off at the airport as they leave for their overseas assignment. Iroha and Ui then return to Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama City, where Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana welcome them back. Mifuyu is also present, as Iroha was able to use her magic to repair Mifuyu&#039;s damaged Soul Gem, allowing her to recover. Later that day, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Kanagi, and Mitama visit Mikazuki Villa as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, [[Ultimate Madoka]], a being who identifies as a record-keeper of all universes reflects on the new timeline centered on Kamihama. She states she intervened one last time by sending a &amp;quot;rain of feathers&amp;quot; to empower the Magical Girls but will now only observe, fearing further direct interference could damage this fragile new reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu organize a meeting for all Magical Girls involved in the recent conflict to discuss the actions of the Wings of the Magius and the future fate of all Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu visit the Eternal Sakura. The Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura congratulates them on finally being together as friends and Nemu, who now uses a wheelchair, accepts her condition as a consequence of her past actions. Iroha briefly wonders about the whereabouts of the small Kyubey that once accompanied her, and then meet Lil&#039; Kyubey in the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After some days, Homura reflects on their victory. Despite saving Madoka and defeating Walpurgisnacht, she feels uncertain. The fundamental curse of Magical Girls becoming Witches remains, and she questions if this timeline is truly the best outcome. At school, Mami informs the group about recent disappearances and people getting lost, which they attribute to a new Witch. They devise a plan to track it by mapping the incidents. Kyoko arrives from Kazamino, also hunting the same Witch, and a tense alliance forms.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: The Place We Finally Reached]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group splits into teams to search the area Mami identified. Madoka notices Homura&#039;s preoccupation and reassures her. The teams locate the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and coordinate their attack. During the battle, Homura fears for her friends&#039; safety, but they work together effectively. Kyoko and Sayaka create an opening for Mami and Madoka to deliver the final blow, while Homura evacuates the Witch-Kissed civilians.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Kyoko gives the Grief Seed to Mami and Sayaka declares she has no regrets about becoming a Magical Girl, valuing the power to protect and the friends she has made. This prompts Mami to reconcile with Kyoko, asking to be true friends who help each other when needed again, to which Kyoko agrees. Madoka then states she is also glad she became a Magical Girl, expressing faith in the future because of her friends. This resolve causes Homura to weep with joy, finally believing this timeline, where they face their fate together, could be the one she sought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group, including Kyoko, shares a meal at a pancake restaurant. They discuss an upcoming meeting in Kamihama to address the Magius&#039; actions. While Kyoko opts not to attend, the others plan to update her later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 04 00 0042 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One Saturday, Mami volunteers to help clean the damage done by the Magius incident and Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura go along as well. During it, a Witch attacks and a Magical Girl they were helping unleashes a Doppel. They defeat the Witch and the girl falls unconscious, so Mami takes her to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After stabilizing her, Mami asks Mitama to help her face her own Doppel and she guides Mami to look within. Mami meets her Doppel and it tries to convince her to forget the past, yet Mami refuses and proclaims that she accepts the Doppel as part of herself. Mami then wakes up, thanking everyone and says they will build the future together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cherry Blossom Dreams===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, the Eternal Sakura completed her duties as an Uwasa when her tree came into full bloom. Her Rumor was rewritten and she was connected to Touka&#039;s server, reborn as an Uwasa with ample knowledge who would later be named Sakurako. Around this time, Yachiyo received a message asking what should be done about the six ringleaders of the Magius—Touka Satomi, Nemu Hiiragi, Mifuyu Azusa, Mitama Yakumo, Tsukuyo Amane, and Tsukasa Amane. Nemu proposed rewriting the Eternal Sakura to serve as an impartial judge. They designed three trials: the first to analyze crimes and calculate a verdict, the second to survey all Magical Girls, and the third to reach a final decision based on responses. Punishments ranged from monitoring to destruction of the Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the first trial, Sakurako sentenced Touka and Nemu to the maximum penalty. Mifuyu received power revocation, reduced from maximum due to testimony that she helped destroy Fendt Hope. Mitama received conditional power revocation, allowed to transform only for Coordinator work. The Amane sisters received power restriction. After the trial, Touka and Nemu remained calm, thanking everyone. Yachiyo noted they had intentionally omitted their ages from consideration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Nemu and Sakurako wait at a train station with others. Nearby girls whisper about Nemu, recognizing her as one of the Magius and questioning why she faces no punishment. Ui argues with Iroha about using the Stardust Time Viewer, while Touka pushes through the crowd, disheveled from navigating the train alone. The three girls reunite, each feeling it is a dream. Touka sends Ui a photo of the map they created together in the hospital. The group travels to the mall, where Ui finally visits the croquette shop she always wanted to try, and they share plates to taste each other&#039;s orders. From there, they take a rickshaw to Mizuna Shrine, where they briefly encounter Tsukuyo and Tsukasa, who quickly hurry away. The group buys prayer plaques, though most hesitate at the cost until a shrine attendant suggests writing prayers on the back of their fortunes instead. Iroha wishes for all Magical Girls to get along, while Touka and Nemu write their own wishes. They argue over where to go next—Touka wants a lookout point in Hokuyo Ward, but Ui resists rushing. Sakurako suggests they also face reality, so they head to Central Ward, still scarred from Walpurgisnacht and Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui admits she used the library as an excuse to bring them here, hoping the Stardust Time Viewer would show them a hopeful future. Nemu summons the Rumor, transporting them to a star-filled space. The Viewer shows Iroha&#039;s future: a world where the Doppel system has expanded globally and all Magical Girls coexist peacefully. Iroha feels embarrassed, but Sakurako assures her the wish is beautiful. When Ui asks to see her own future, the Viewer has nothing to show. Ui realizes this means Touka and Nemu are absent from Iroha&#039;s future and accuses them of planning to die. The vision fades, returning them to the rubble of Central Ward. Touka and Nemu admit they believe they should die for their crimes, pointing to the destruction around them, the Feathers they manipulated, and the innocent people hurt. Sakurako confirms she knew this all along. Ui slaps them both, demanding they consider how she feels. Nemu explains they wanted to do what they could while they still had time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second trial begins. No surveys have arrived. Sakurako agrees to wait one hour. Yachiyo and others leave to retrieve them. Mifuyu confronts Touka and Nemu, asking if they sabotaged the surveys. They admit they did, altering the date so the surveys would not arrive in time. They wanted to be judged and sentenced to death to spare Ui from the hatred directed at them. Ui refuses to accept this. She and Iroha transform to protect them. The hour ends and Sakurako moves to deliver punishment. Iroha and Ui hold her back as Mifuyu and Mitama join the defense. The Amane sisters attack Sakurako with their flutes, accepting heavier sentences. Iroha realizes they can use photos of the surveys as evidence. Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s phones begin chiming with images from Yachiyo and the others. Iroha begs Sakurako to accept the evidence. Sakurako confirms the surveys are real and delays the trial, requiring them to arrive by day&#039;s end. The surveys show Magical Girls believe Touka and Nemu should be punished, but not killed. Some suggest atonement, rehabilitation, or mentorship. Reading the responses, Touka and Nemu weep, but Ui weeps with joy. Based on the surveys, sentences are reduced. Touka and Nemu receive monitoring with transformation-prevention bracelets, while Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s sentences are reduced to monitoring. The Amane sisters are found not guilty and Feathers who revealed themselves have their cases dismissed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the group gathers. Touka and Nemu wear their bracelets. Sakurako serves drinks. Mifuyu asks about tutoring Touka in exchange for help with pharmacy school. Nemu will rely on Sakurako for mobility on difficult days. Tsuruno suggests welcoming them as the Brains of Kamihama. In the kitchen, Sakurako hugs Touka and Nemu, then Iroha and Ui. She tells them she loves them. The days she always dreamed of have arrived. The real spring can finally begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocolatier in Mirror Country===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro, Masara, Konomi, Asuka and Sasara gather at Manaka&#039;s place to plan their charity bazaar booth. Kokoro and Masara participate to help Himika&#039;s family without making it obvious, while Asuka and Sasara join to invite a lonely girl named Chi whose father died. Konomi&#039;s booth was invited directly due to her popular Valentine&#039;s bouquets. They agree on a collaboration between Walnuts and Blossom the florist, dividing tasks among themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Warming Valentine]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Manaka&#039;s father&#039;s help, Kokoro and Masara make bear-shaped chocolates. Asuka recruits dojo volunteers, Sasara invites Chi and designs leaflets, and Konomi prepares bouquets with Izayoi&#039;s help decorating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the bazaar, adults receive bouquets with donation and children get free chocolates. Chi and her mother visit happily. Himika initially refuses chocolate but accepts after realizing her siblings want it, and they enjoy the day together. The event succeeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later at a celebration party, Sasara and Kokoro feel their efforts changed nothing. Masara scolds them for impatience, explaining kindness takes time. Kanagi and Asuka arrive with good news that Himika&#039;s family is making White Day gifts, and Chi&#039;s mother now calls daily. Relieved, they enjoy the party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Valentine&#039;s Day, girls give chocolates to loved ones. Sasara gives to her father, Asuka to her cousin, and Konomi to her aunt. Masara and Kokoro exchange chocolates at their favorite spot, and Kokoro tearfully reconciles with her parents. Elsewhere, Rena and Tsukuyo each struggle to give chocolates to Kaede and Tsukasa. Following a rumor, they separately pray at a radio tower, accidentally encounter each other, and successfully give their chocolates when Kaede and Tsukasa also arrive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, in Mitakihara, Nagisa bakes a chocolate cake with Mami while feeling that something is wrong, as her memories feel hazy and she seems more childish than she should be. She realizes her memories of being longtime friends with Mami are false, yet she recognizes that the warmth she feels is what she has always wanted. When they finish the cake, a Witch that looks like a younger version of Nagisa steals it, and they chase it into a mirror, finding themselves in a transformed version of the Mirror Witch&#039;s Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Chocolatier in Mirror Country]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They encounter Madoka and Homura trapped in a time loop illusion, free them, and learn that Sayaka and Kyoko went ahead and are now missing. They find Sayaka and Kyoko trapped in a competition for a magical cake, so Mami and Nagisa enter and win by choosing a song they both know well. Using the cake&#039;s wishes, they reunite the group and defeat the attacking Witch. Nagisa realizes she has two sets of memories and deduces the chocolate-loving Witch is an alternate version of herself who wished for chocolate cake instead of cheesecake. This Witch has been consuming the Labyrinth&#039;s power and attracting Witches from parallel worlds through mirror gates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The little Witch steals the cake again, and during the chase, Nagisa and Mami become separated in a dark fog. A poem warns them not to open their eyes or they will lose each other, but Nagisa&#039;s self-doubt overwhelms her. Remembering losing her mother and everyone else, she convinces herself Mami is not really there, opens her eyes, and is consumed by the Witch. The group fights through countless gates to find her and engages the master Witch. Inside, Mami finds Nagisa, hugs her tightly, and promises they will always be friends because of the future they will share, not false memories. Nagisa finally believes her, and the cake is returned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group realizes that even with the master Witch defeated, other Witches have taken its place, so they must clear them all to restore the Labyrinth. They commit to finishing the job together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Labyrinth is cleared, they gather at Mami&#039;s apartment for a chocolate party where Nagisa officially gives Mami the cake. They play poker with chocolate coins to decide how to share the remaining half, and Mami wins, but she divides the cake equally among all six. Everyone agrees it is the best cake in the universe. Nagisa thanks Mami, and Mami welcomes her warmly, calling her a little chocolatier and a lovely new addition to their circle of friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Kamihama, that night, Tsukuyo finds Rena praying at the Chuo Ward radio tower, having both read an online article claiming that twenty minutes of prayer there ensures successful apologies to loved ones. Tsukuyo confesses she hurt her twin sister Tsukasa by rejecting their Valentine&#039;s plans after failing at homemade chocolate, while Rena admits she snapped at Kaede and claimed she had no chocolate for her after Kaede had given her some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The 14th Day Where I Can&#039;t Be Honest]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their conversation is interrupted when Tsukasa and Kaede suddenly appear, having anticipated their partners would come here to apologize. Tsukasa assures Tsukuyo she was not upset and would treasure any chocolate from her, urging her to be easier on herself. Kaede forgives Rena and asks simply for her to be more honest. Together, the two pairs exchange Valentine&#039;s wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany===&lt;br /&gt;
* Walpurgisnacht&#039;s attack on Kamihama City caused massive damage to Chuo Ward, which the public believes was a natural disaster. Only Magical Girls know the truth and privately, Mitama reflects that the victory gave her hope, but she wonders if the destruction she once wished for can be defied.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0008 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after Walpurgisnacht, Mitama realizes Doyle has not visited her shop and the last saw him the day before Walpurgisnacht. She assumes the storm made him too scared to go out, so she decides to close her shop and search for him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama looks around the vacant land near her shop and a girl named Ritsumi offers to help. Ritsumi’s cat Arthur ran away before, so she knows where cats hide. They search but find nothing and Ritsumi says Arthur now lives with her grandpa. Mitama realizes Ritsumi is the daughter of the neighbor who owns Arthur and Mitama had mistaken Arthur for Doyle and that Ritsumi has never actually seen Doyle. They end the day without clues and Mitama sends a message to the Magical Girls’ group chat asking if anyone has seen a white tabby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama knocks on the neighbor’s door and Ritsumi’s mother answers. She explains that Arthur was sent away two weeks ago to Ritsumi’s grandpa. Mitama realizes that no one knows where Doyle came from. Ritsumi’s mother promises to keep an eye out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana, Asuka, and others from Mizuna Girls’ Academy saw Mitama’s group chat post and they arrive to help. More volunteers soon arrive: Kaede, Kako, Rena, Konoha’s team, and others. They split up to cover Shinsei Ward and Mitama notes that no one else has ever seen Doyle. Konoha says she never saw a cat at Mitama’s shop. Rena also asks for a photo, but Mitama has none.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds Ritsumi near the bus stop and they search door to door. No one in the neighborhood has seen a white tabby kitten either. Ritsumi says she has read all “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” books and that her favorite is “Invisible Epiphany,” about a detective searching for a lost child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko meets Mitama alone. Momoko says she never saw Doyle and neither did Tsukasa or the other girls. Mitama remembers talking to Doyle in front of them, but they saw no cat ither. Momoko suggests a Rumor is involved, as all Rumors disappeared after the fight with the Magius, except the Eternal Sakura. Coincidentally, Doyle disappeared at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls Nemu, who is still in the hospital and Nemu explains that Doyle was part of the Rumor of the Cat Detective. The Rumor possesses detective novel lovers, detects signs of a case, gets the detective involved, and guarantees a solution. Nemu explains she erased almost all Rumors, including this one. Mitama thinks Doyle disappeared because the Rumor was destroyed and she had solved four cases with Doyle’s help, yet the fifth never began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama re-reads her case files and each one has an opening paragraph she does not remember writing. The first case file hints at Hanna Sarasa. The second hints at Tsukasa. The third and fourth also name the culprits. Mitama realizes Doyle left those hints, and Nemu says the Rumor did not cause incidents, only detected them, so those incidents would have happened anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0009 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Kamihama slowly returns to order. Mitama notes that she cannot rely on Doyle anymore and she hopes she does not get any new cases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui and the Eternal Sakura visit Mitama to deliver a lampshade from Yachiyo. Ui says a girl from her school has gone missing and Mitama is shocked to learn the girl is Ritsumi, who did not come home after school yesterday and the police are investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama goes to the bus stop near her shop and finds Ritsumi’s mother. The mother says Ritsumi likely went to Hokuyo Ward to see her grandpa and Arthur. Ritsumi’s parents are separated and her father lives with his parents in Hokuyo Ward. The mother believes Ritsumi wanted to visit them, but the bus route to Hokuyo was suspended after the disaster but has resumed, bypassing Chuo Ward. Soon, Himika calls Mitama. Himika saw a girl matching Ritsumi’s description waiting at the Shinsei Ward bus stop yesterday, reading a book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi arrive and Momoko explains she has been investigating at school. Ritsumi transferred to Kamihama University Affiliated School six months ago after her parents separated and she moved into the building next to Mitama’s shop. Momoko explains Arthur went to live with her father in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo Ward. Mitama realizes the conflicting information: Arthur was first in Chuo Ward, then evacuated to the grandpa’s house in Hokuyo after the disaster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Satomi Medical Center, Nemu discusses the case with Eternal Sakura. Nemu recalls the hidden hints in Mitama’s case files. The last words of each hint spell “Lost Through Time Eternal,” which is the title of volume 12 of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” In that story, a girl runs away to her old home. Nemu deduces that Ritsumi went to her old apartment in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo. She likely got off at the nearest bus stop and walked into the restricted zone, then she had an accident.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Momoko, and Kanagi search the area near the old apartment and they hear a voice. Ritsumi had fallen into an old underground passage and sprained her ankle. She lost track of time and had no phone. Mitama explains she remembered the Doyle book and Ritsumi admits she was copying the girl in the story as she wanted to see the area where she grew up. The three quickly rescue her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ritsumi is taken to a hospital and also discharged quickly. Her parents agree to let her visit both of them and Arthur whenever she likes. Mitama reflects that Doyle gave her confidence and the city she cursed is still standing, so she dares to believe in hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Momoko finally holds the Coordinator Thank-You Party that was postponed earlier and Rena and Kaede thank Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui reads &amp;quot;The Happy Prince&amp;quot; and reflects on her uncertain purpose as a Magical Girl. While walking, she stops Kyubey from contracting a girl outside Kamihama, explaining she cannot let anyone else suffer the fate of becoming a Witch. When Kyubey asks what he should do instead, she has no answer. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia tells Ui she is overthinking things and should focus on her upcoming combat test. Iroha and Yachiyo serve dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno gives Ui an enthusiastic pep talk for her live combat test. To remain in Kamihama, Ui must detect and eliminate a Witch alone—the same test Yachiyo gave Iroha when she first arrived. Yachiyo admits the test may be unfair and offers to let Ui choose a partner. With Iroha busy helping Kanagi, Ui chooses Momoko. They depart together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui struggles to sense the Witch&#039;s magic, so they search Mizuna Ward where young women gather. They encounter a Familiar and follow it to a Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After defeating it, Felicia suddenly appears, attacks them, and runs away. Tsuruno gives chase and tackles her. Felicia&#039;s oblivion magic has erased their memory of the Familiar&#039;s pattern, so they cannot track the Witch. Momoko requests a pause, but Yachiyo refuses, stating unexpected events happen in real combat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia admits she interfered because she is jealous that Ui receives everyone&#039;s attention while she struggled alone as a mercenary. Yachiyo explains that Felicia&#039;s past does not justify making others unhappy. Meanwhile, Ui cheers up after eating crepes with Momoko and resolves to continue. As sunset approaches, they search Sakae Ward but find nothing. Yachiyo offers to bring a Familiar for them to retrack, but it disappears before they arrive. Ui suggests checking Hokuyo Ward on a hunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Hokuyo Ward, Ui senses a different Witch&#039;s magical reaction. They follow Witch-kissed people up a mountain toward a labyrinth. At Yachiyo&#039;s house, the others realize Ui failed the test since Yachiyo had to eliminate the original Witch herself, though Yachiyo will allow a retake. They notice Felicia smiling and suspect she interfered again. Rena confesses she helped Felicia erase the hint because she understood Felicia&#039;s jealousy. Tsuruno says the only person who deserves an apology is Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the mountain, Ui and Momoko enter the Witch&#039;s barrier against Momoko&#039;s better judgment. They fight through Familiars but become trapped and cannot escape. The Witch overwhelms them. Yachiyo and the others arrive and join the fight, but Familiars overwhelm them too. Iroha arrives at the last moment to defend Ui. Ui proposes using her ability to harvest impurities, purifying everyone&#039;s Soul Gems so they can fight at full strength. She will temporarily become a Witch, but the Doppel system will contain it. She absorbs the impurities, and the others destroy the Witch while Ui struggles with the darkness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui unleashes her Doppel and meets her Doppel self, who accuses her of wanting punishment and being jealous of others while trapped in the hospital. Ui nearly agrees to let the Doppel consume her but refuses, recognizing it as the easy way out. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words about taking responsibility and confronting the situation honestly. She accepts her wrongs and her true feelings, realizing this difficult path will bring true happiness. The Doppel admits she is right. Iroha wakes Ui at Mitama&#039;s clinic, where she has been unconscious for some time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama checks on Ui after her first Doppel release. Felicia apologizes for her interference and says she thinks Ui is cool. Rena also apologizes for helping Felicia. Ui accepts their apologies and compliments them both, asking Felicia to teach her things. Rena and Felicia feel terrible for how they treated someone so kind. Later that evening at Yachiyo&#039;s house, everyone celebrates Ui passing her test—though she did not defeat the assigned Witch, she tracked a Witch, stayed calm, used her intelligence, and performed better than expected. Ui tells Iroha she now knows what she wants to do as a Magical Girl. Iroha decides to work with other Kamihama Magical Girls to find a way to free them all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui and Iroha encounter Kyubey outside Kamihama attempting another contract and stop him. Kyubey asks what their goal is. They explain they plan to fight and find a way to coexist with Kyubey—if they can expand Kamihama&#039;s miracle globally, Magical Girls can live happily while providing the energy Kyubey needs. Kyubey welcomes the idea if it avoids conflict but warns that Magical Girls worldwide are not as unified as those in Kamihama. Ui wonders how much happiness she can give to the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tart / Darc Magica===&lt;br /&gt;
* Through Minou&#039;s spell from 15th-century France, Ui is pulled into the past, with her phone acting as her Soul Gem and Blank Prophecy, with the power to restore the past&#039;s real history.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rebel of a Dawnless Land]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning from the past, Ui finds herself in an antique store, still surrounded by magic bubbles though no memory of what occured. On the floor are the two candles and the old book. She feels they are important but cannot remember why, so she puts them on store shelves before falling asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui wakes up at Mikazuki Villa. Her phone rings with a text of Nemu asking if she knows any charms, as Mitama has been really into them lately. Ui says she knows a charm for good dreams requiring red and blue candles. Nemu asks where she heard about it and Ui isn&#039;t sure but says it was in 15th-century France. Nemu is fascinated and promises to research it. Later, Ui scrolls through her phone and finds a photo she doesn&#039;t recognize with girls she doesn&#039;t know. She begins crying without understanding why and Iroha finds her and hugs her tightly. Suddenly Ui remembers Darc&#039;s final words. She turns to her sister and tells her, &amp;quot;Let&#039;s have a wonderful future together.&amp;quot; Iroha agrees. Ui calms down and heads home to prepare for a slumber party with Nemu and Touka. Iroha, running errands, decides to stop by Mitama&#039;s place afterward. Mitama greets her warmly, mentioning she just learned an interesting little charm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That day, Iroha visits Mitama, who gives her and Yachiyo antique candles for a sweet dream spell. That night, they light the candles and drift off to sleep together, where they&#039;re pulled into the nightmare of Jeanne d&#039;Arc in April 29th, 1429.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Maiden of Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next morning, Yachiyo reveals she had the same dream. They call Mitama, who is surprised they had nightmares instead of sweet dreams. They decide to try the candles again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Kamihama plunged into darkness and all non-Magical Girls vanished. Their Soul Gems have consumed magic in the real world despite no injuries. Realizing the dream affects reality, they decide to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a lot of fighting, they awaken and prepare for the final battle. In this journey they discover that they&#039;d been traveling to Darc&#039;s dream, and if Darc despairs completely, she will turn into a Witch and trigger a catastrophe affecting the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Felicia and Sana gone and Kamihama empty. Breaking into Mitama&#039;s shop, they find a grimoire revealing the candles were made with Darc&#039;s hair, creating a connection to her dream. They return with the book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They finally awaken at Mikazuki Villa to sunshine and normalcy. Felicia demands steak for dinner. Consulting a history book, they read that on May 7th, 1429, Jeanne d&#039;Arc fought at Tourelles after waking from a dream. The battle was fierce but Orléans was liberated. Iroha notices a portrait in the book showing them in their Magical Girl outfits standing beside Jeanne d&#039;Arc.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at Mitama&#039;s shop, Yachiyo recounts everything. Mitama mentions the spell became widespread in France during Jeanne d&#039;Arc&#039;s era. Iroha realizes Melissa must have spread it after learning it from them in the dream. The use of red and blue candles was too specific to be coincidence. Iroha&#039;s head spins trying to figure out where the spell originated. Yachiyo notes the grimoire never mentioned the candle setup, so the spell just circled around and around. They will never know for certain whether they changed history or were always part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* During their slumber party, Ui, Touka, and Nemu encounter a massive witch, [[Crépuscule de La Reine]]. Touka and Nemu vanish, leaving Ui and Sakurako to face it alone. The witch is unaffected by their attacks and disappears, taking Ui with it into 15th-century France once more, this time in the realm of Purgatory which Minou created. With Pernelle&#039;s help, Ui is soon able to also summon Iroha and Yachiyo there as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;endofalegendthelimitsoflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - End of a Legend, the Limits of Light]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Lil&#039; Kyubey and Ui&#039;s phone as the Blank Prophecy are pulled as &amp;quot;If Factors&amp;quot; into the world of Holy Maiden Academy, which Minou created and maintained for six hundred years after being given a Philosopher&#039;s Stone after Isabeau&#039;s death. However, after her plans are thwarted by the &amp;quot;what if&amp;quot; version of Melissa, he returns and wakes in the real world, where Iroha and Ui assure him it was just a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;counc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Masked Student Council Strikes Back]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Voices from Beyond, Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a year after Voices from Beyond, Part 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With peace restored in Kamihama, Yachiyo visits a flower shop to buy flowers for Mel&#039;s grave, still haunted by never defeating Mel&#039;s Witch. She unexpectedly encounters Mifuyu and Mel&#039;s mother, who reassures them Mel was happy because of their love. Walking toward the cemetery, Yachiyo and Mifuyu are engulfed by the barrier of the Witch Etteilla—Mel&#039;s Witch. They struggle against both the Witch and their own fears: Mifuyu fears defeating it means forgetting Mel, while Yachiyo fears losing anyone else. Remembering the ghosts&#039; encouragement, Yachiyo convinces Mifuyu they must move forward because Mel and Kanae wanted them to. They defeat the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mel&#039;s grave, they place flowers and the Grief Seed from the Witch, hoping her soul has finally found peace. They silently promise to keep moving forward. Mifuyu wonders if Mel&#039;s Witch appeared to give them a push, and they smile, repeating Mel&#039;s favorite phrase: all things happen when they must. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to see the belongings Mel and Kanae left behind, and Mifuyu gladly accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One weekend, Rui ropes Seira into attending Kamiket, a convention for sharing and selling fan-made media in Kamihama. The two became close friends after discovering they are both Magical Girls, and because Seira is the only one who knows about Rui&#039;s embarrassing secret: a heavy case of chuuni-byo. Rui agreed to bring Seira on the condition that only the two of them would go, ensuring nobody else discovered her secret.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the day of the convention, Rui cannot contain her excitement and slips into character, declaring the convention her sanctuary and the catalog guidebook as Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Her main objective is to purchase the newest installment of her favorite indie game series and meet its creator, MacQueen. On the way to the booth, she accidentally bumps into a stranger who seems irritated about someone not being at the convention yet. When she arrives, the booth attendants inform her that someone has been using counterfeit money, and worse, MacQueen himself is missing. Rui&#039;s imagination immediately conjures a grand conspiracy, but the criminal is soon caught and MacQueen calls to say he overslept. Relieved, Rui takes a photo with the booth girls, but as the picture is taken, chills run down her spine as she senses someone glaring at her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rui dismisses it as her imagination and continues exploring with Seira. Remembering the booth numbers hit by counterfeit money, she realizes they spell the chemical formula for Ricin, a lethal poison. Her imagination ignites again, convincing her that the real attack will come through poisoned food from outside vendors. She rushes them outside to stop the attack, but everyone seems fine, and her Magical Girl ability, which lets her see how close someone is to death, reveals nobody is in danger. Ashamed, she realizes her imagination finally got the best of her and apologizes to Seira. They decide to get lunch, and Rui opens her laptop to install her new game. The screen is black, and in the reflection she sees her own face. Her magic reveals she herself is now close to death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Remembering the chills from earlier, Rui checks the photo and finds the man from earlier glaring at her in the background. She rushes back to the booth to warn the girls, who recognize the man as Miranda, a popular content creator. As they discuss this, MacQueen finally arrives, and Rui sees he is the closest to death&#039;s door, with Miranda also marked. She confronts Miranda, who confesses he intended to kill MacQueen over an alternate ending in the latest game that suggested his favorite sub-heroine may have had a former lover. He pulls out a gun he secretly printed with a smuggled 3D printer. Just as he is about to shoot, Rui shows him a cutscene on her laptop, which is the second part of the alternate ending, unlocked only after clearing the entire game, revealing the sub-heroine fabricated the story to protect the user character. Miranda realizes his mistake and surrenders to security. After the incident, Seira asks if Rui was scared. Rui reveals she always wears chainmail under her clothes and also carried a heavy blunt object for protection, the magically enhanced Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Seira decides to pretend she did not hear that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 11:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura writes in her diary as she and her friends take an air-conditioned express train to the beach for summer vacation. They buy ice cream and enjoy the ride.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Beachside Bonds]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls arrive at their destination, a seaside inn run by Sayaka&#039;s relatives who had a sudden cancellation. Sayaka complains about the heat as they walk to the inn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Sayaka&#039;s aunt shows them to their rooms and warns them not to get lost in the surrounding forest. Outside, two young girls who live at the inn approach Madoka. They ask if she knows someone named Kei, who is looking for someone named Yu. They warn Madoka not to talk to Kei and that she should hold still if Kei enters her room. The girls then leave. Homura suggests Kei might be a cat. They agree to tell the others as Kyoko passes by already in her swimsuit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, the girls play volleyball. Mami spikes the ball hard and hits Homura in the face. They stop the game and Mami frets over Homura. Madoka suggests they rest in the shade while Mami buys something cold. Madoka then suggests they collect pine cones from nearby trees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the forest, a cat appears and leads them deeper into the trees. It guides them to a small shrine, where Homura finds an old notebook. She reads entries from April 20, June 24, August 3, and August 6, all detailing the author&#039;s complicated feelings for someone named Kei. Madoka tells her to put it back without reading further. When they turn around, the cat is gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the beach, Sayaka shares a rumor from the beach house: a girl fell off a nearby cliff years ago and died, and her spirit is reportedly seen rising from the ocean between two and three a.m. Mami shrieks in fear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Kyoko teases Mami about being scared. The conversation turns to ghosts and Kyoko compares them to how normal people might perceive Witches. Madoka feels relieved and tells Sayaka about the twin girls. Sayaka plans to ask them about any pets later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After an Italian dinner, the girls light fireworks on the beach. Kyoko bumps into Hinano Miyako, who doesn&#039;t recognize her but does recognize her Soul Gem ring. Ren Isuzu finds Hinano, followed by Emiri Kisaki and Rika Ayano. The groups combine for fireworks. Emiri admits she used a little magic to help everyone relax, explaining why Kyoko had strange memories of Mami. Kyoko chases Sayaka around the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Heading back to the inn, Sayaka finds her twin cousins lining up stones. They claim the stones protect against Kei entering. They say Kei would hate Sayaka the most because she is nosy, then leave. In her diary, Homura writes that the girls talked until they all fell asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 12&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura&#039;s diary entry describes a dream belonging to someone else. In the dream, the narrator waits for her friend Yusa Yumeno, who arrives with popsicles. The narrator complains that Yusa doesn&#039;t need to come every day, but Yusa insists she can only be her real self around her friend. The narrator believes identity is shaped by others&#039; perceptions. She reveals she may not take college exams due to family obligations and urges Yusa to attend her chosen school, comparing herself to a weed and Yusa to a flower growing in a different direction. The narrator comes home to another hateful letter from classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes in a cold sweat, unable to move. The room smells strongly of seaweed. She sees a pitch-black human shadow sitting between Mami and Sayaka&#039;s futons. It examines their faces, grumbling &amp;quot;wrong, wrong, all wrong.&amp;quot; As it moves toward Madoka, Homura struggles to move. The shadow stops and stares at her, asking &amp;quot;You can see me?&amp;quot; Homura screams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others wake. Sayaka notices the strange smell. Kyoko goes back to sleep. Mami offers water and Homura asks if someone entered the room. They saw no one. Sayaka apologizes for the scary stories. Mami suggests thinking about tomorrow&#039;s fun. Madoka offers to hold Homura&#039;s hand, which she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes early, the ocean scent still strong. She finds the twin girls outside. They ask if she met Kei. Homura asks what Kei is. The girls explain Kei looks like a human made of shadow without facial features, smells of the sea, and emerges from the ocean at night to look for her friend Yu. They repeat that she should do nothing and never talk to her. They notice their protective stones scattered and go to reline them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura suspects this might be a Rumor. She returns to the forest shrine and finds the notebook on the shrine&#039;s lattice door, despite having placed it underneath. She reads entries from May 2, May 20, June 12, and June 26, all detailing the author Yu&#039;s complicated, obsessive feelings for Kei. She replaces the notebook, feeling guilty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Homura recalls more diary entries: July 2 describes Yu placing hands on Kei&#039;s neck as if to strangle her; July 5 compares Kei&#039;s neck to a lizard she killed; July 15 describes Kei now finding Yu after school; July 20 states they should never have met and that both wear bandages to hide bruises on their necks. Madoka points out a small bruise on Homura&#039;s neck.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls begin walking to an aquarium along the coast. Kyoko complains about the distance and suggests fishing instead. Sayaka refuses, traumatized by a recent fishing tournament incident in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the aquarium, they eat fish burgers, marvel at jellyfish, and watch a dolphin and seal show. They leave at sunset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls walk to a cape to watch the sunset. Sayaka warns them not to get too close to the edge, referencing the girl who died. Homura smells flowers and Mami identifies night-blooming jasmine nearby. The scent reminds Homura of her dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recalls another diary entry: August 1 describes Yu feeling happy hearing Kei&#039;s wish despite blaming herself; August 12 states their plan is set for tomorrow, with Yu hoping something will make Kei reconsider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the cape, Kyoko admits feeling down because a cape is the end of the road with nothing after. Mami says it&#039;s more important they could talk again like they used to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary about the difference between the self you know and the self others perceive. She asks Madoka what kind of person she thinks Homura is. Madoka calls her a dear friend who works hard. Homura worries that revealing her time-traveling truth would change this perception. After dinner, the girls settle in for sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 13:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura dreams again of Kei and Yu. Kei calls out that the promised day is here. She has dressed up and brought a ribbon to tie them together. Yu questions if this is right. Kei insists her life belongs only to Yu. They vow: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; They promise to kill each other for every reincarnation as proof of who they are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A voice calls Homura to wake. She awakens to find Madoka standing with eyes closed, enveloped in shadow. Madoka snaps her eyes open and proclaims repeatedly &amp;quot;I got in.&amp;quot; She calls out for Yu, saying the promised day is finally here. Madoka runs into the forest toward the cliff. Homura chases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the cape, everything grows dark. Madoka, possessed by Kei&#039;s spirit, tells Homura that the drowned Chinese girl&#039;s body washed up here and she is looking for her father&#039;s ship. Homura urges her to chase after the girl to escape, but Kei claims Homura will kill her as soon as they leave. Homura transforms and attempts to freeze time but finds her magic has no effect in this place where time does not flow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren&#039;s voice calls out. She informs Homura that the others are searching for them, but only Ren could traverse into this abyss. Ren suggests this might be similar to her own magic rather than a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kei admits she tried possessing Homura but could not, so she settled for Madoka. She explains she is a faint memory staining the cliffside. The drowned girl&#039;s spirit helped her recall all her memories clearly. She describes how she and Yu bound themselves together and jumped into the ocean, but the waves pulled them apart. Kei died; Yu survived. Kei wants to kill Yu so they can kill each other throughout eternity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura refuses to stay in the abyss with Madoka. Kei transforms Madoka into her magical girl state and attacks. Ren blocks the blow and tries to use her magic to draw out the possession. Homura calls out the vow Kei and Yu made, distracting Kei. Ren attempts her magic but the ghost of the drowned Chinese girl deflects it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren realizes the ghost girl is not a girl but the root cause: the Witch Paola. The barrier forms and Homura fights the Witch alone while Ren hurries to catch up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier dissipates and Homura faces the possessed Madoka on the cape. Kei accuses Homura of killing her. Homura tells her to shut up and leave their lives alone. Kei explains she will soon fade if Yu is not there. She begs Homura to kill Yu if she ever meets her, before her soul breaks and she becomes like the Witch. She begs Homura to keep this promise no matter where they meet or how many worlds Homura visits. Kei then relinquishes Madoka&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren arrives, relieved they are safe. Madoka wakes with no memory, thinking she simply tossed and turned. The other girls find them and celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary, describing the events as too strange to comprehend. She reflects on Kyubey&#039;s use of the term &amp;quot;soul&amp;quot; and questions what a soul truly is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka sighs that even on vacation they dealt with a Witch. Kyoko thinks she&#039;s getting rusty. Mami suggests Homura was right about a Witch mixing with a Rumor. Madoka telepathically tells them to quiet down since Homura is asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her final dream, Homura sees Yu wake in a hospital on an unknown date. Kei died. Their bruises were dismissed. Yu returned to school where others used her grief as their own. Unable to bear going on without Kei, she nearly threw herself off the cliff again. All she holds onto is their final words: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; But if the Yu that died that day is gone, who is the girl writing now? An image of Kyubey flashes on the screen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Deep in the dream, Homura recalls Kei&#039;s plea on the cliff. But Homura never agreed or promised anything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summer Treasures===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko wakes to find Mitama and Ui standing over her, learning they were washed ashore and rescue will arrive in two days. Mitama assigns tasks: shelter, bamboo, water, plants, and fishing. Before Kyoko leaves, Mitama asks her to transform, revealing she adjusted Kyoko&#039;s Soul Gem while she was unconscious to give her a Magical Girl swimsuit that allows her to swim. Mitama promises the transformation is reversible but looks forlorn, warning that if Kyoko does not have fun on the island, she might forget how to undo it. Kyoko reluctantly agrees to cooperate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer Treasures]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko discovers she can swim and catches plenty of fish. While gathering firewood, she finds a piece of wood with the words &amp;quot;water&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;bottom&amp;quot; written on it and tosses it onto the pile. Back at camp, Mitama and Karin show her a treasure map they found. Mitama has built a large shelter, and Karin started a fire using skills from a manga. Kyoko helps Kanagi and Ui carry supplies back from the stream. When Mitama offers to cook, Kyoko and Kanagi immediately stop her. Kyoko distracts Mitama with the treasure map and cooks dinner instead, with Ui&#039;s help. The group enjoys the meal together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 2 on the deserted island and Mitama decides they will go treasure hunting. The group examines the map and the wooden tablet Kyoko unknowingly gathered for firewood, which tells of a fallen warrior&#039;s treasure hidden on the island. They follow directions to a clearing but find nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui falls into a pitfall, and Karin follows. Kyoko pulls them out with a vine, and they discover another tablet at the bottom. Kyoko realizes the piece of wood she threw into the campfire was likely one of the tablets, but she keeps quiet, hoping to make the group give up without upsetting Mitama. Mitama triggers a trap and is caught hanging from a tree. The group frees her, but everyone wants to continue despite Kyoko&#039;s warnings. Kyoko claims they are being followed, hoping to blame the missing tablet on someone else, but the stalker turns out to be a tabby kitten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group reaches a damaged clue they cannot read. Mitama deduces the final location is the waterfall, but they find nothing. Mitama stares at Kyoko, suggesting the tablet might have been lost. Kyoko panics internally. She blasts part of the riverbed, revealing a hidden underwater path she remembered from the burned tablet&#039;s words. Kanagi scouts and reports a cave at the end. Karin and Ui stay behind while Kyoko, Mitama, and Kanagi swim through using guide vines.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the cave, they endure swarms of mosquitoes until Mitama drives them away. At the back, they find a treasure box. Kyoko opens it carefully. Inside is a letter revealing the treasure hunt was a promotional stunt for the Sayu-Sayu Mizuna Tourism Project, abandoned due to mosquitoes and safety concerns. They left a paper with Sayu-Sayu&#039;s sword designs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko hides the truth and leads the group to a cliff with a stunning sunset view. Everyone agrees it is a rare treasure. Kyoko admits she burned one of the tablets for firewood. Mitama apologizes for pressuring her and promises to change her back. The group returns late at night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, the helicopter arrives. Iroha calls down to them. As they prepare to leave, the kitten runs off, and the group chases it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few weeks later. Sayuki, Ria, Mayu, her manager, and producer arrive on the same island to film a special. They find the bamboo house and campfire remains. The kitten appears, followed by Kyoko chasing it. Ui and Karin catch up, and Karin recognizes Sayuki as Sayu-Sayu. Kyoko realizes this is the idol behind the fake treasure hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Kanagi, and Iroha arrive. Sayuki greets Mitama warmly. Telepathically, Kyoko warns Mitama about Sayuki&#039;s connection to the treasure hunt. Mitama cryptically tells her to leave it. Karin and Ui want to stay and watch the filming. Sayuki offers to let them return on her boat. She explains her special involves a survival quiz using the Kaigiri sword. Ui and Karin are excited. Mitama and Kyoko exchange a look, hoping to preserve Ui&#039;s good memories without revealing the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Filming begins. They cheer from the sidelines. Later, they all pile onto the boat together, many exhausted and falling asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Late July before summer vacation, Ui and Sakurako go shopping. Ui buys a picture diary and mentions wanting to swim with fish in a place like the Dragon Palace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Sakurako consults Ryo, then works with Touka, Nemu, Ryo, and Ikumi to build the Uwasa Aquarium, Dragon Palace within her Rumor, incorporating elements for everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the aquarium event, Touka and Nemu guide Iroha, Ui, Yachiyo, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia to the space. Everyone enjoys swimming, themed attractions, and food tailored to their interests. Sakurako warns them never to open the Treasure Casket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia opens the box, releasing a malice entity that takes Sakura&#039;s form. Normal attacks fail. The group cheers, empowering Sakurako to destroy it. Ryo reveals they planned this interactive show.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end, Sakurako creates cherry blossom petals despite being told not to overexert herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sakurako wakes in Iroha&#039;s room after collapsing from magic overexertion. Nemu and Touka explain Uwasa can die. Ui tearfully asks her to take better care. Sakurako promises to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Iroha suggests a beach trip. Touka, Nemu, and Ui enthusiastically plan it. Sakurako notices the aquarium has been forgotten in their conversation and grows quiet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day Sakurako returns to the empty aquarium. Reflecting on Nemu&#039;s words, she spirals into fear that she will die, be forgotten, and disappear. She hides.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha searches for her. Ryo and Ikumi arrive later. Ryo senses she is there and uses a tactic, claiming he will stop looking and eventually forget her. Sakurako emerges crying, begging not to be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo shows her Ui&#039;s picture diary, which dedicates many pages to the aquarium day. Sakurako realizes memories are what she can leave behind and agrees to return home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Sakurako returns and explains she now understands that as long as memories remain, she will not be forgotten. She asks to host the aquarium again for more Magical Girls. With promises to monitor her health and using Shizuku&#039;s teleportation to hide the location, the others agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, various Magical Girls arrive and enjoy the aquarium. Rena notices the Treasure Casket. Sakurako explains it contains stored memories she hopes someone will vividly recall when she is gone, so she will not be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kamihama in a Circle===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren arrive in a new ward, with Rika frustrated about oversleeping. They notice another Magical Girl nearby. Elsewhere, Konomi arrives alone while Kako declines to participate due to her team&#039;s policy. Manaka scolds Ria for being late because of her hair. Masara, Kokoro, and Aimi gather at a park, with Kokoro convincing Masara to participate. Reira, Mito, and Seika discuss the upcoming gathering of Magical Girls who have fought together before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Kamihama in a Circle]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo finish chores that had been delayed by Felicia&#039;s laundry mishap. They reflect on everything that has happened since Iroha came to Kamihama searching for Ui—the investigations, battles with the Wings of Magius, the automatic purification system, and the truth about Witches spreading. Despite the chaos, things have begun to settle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo rush to the park, worried about being late. Tsuruno meets them and playfully scolds them before carrying them the rest of the way. Iroha reflects on meeting Tsuruno while investigating Uwasas, and how their bonds grew stronger through battling together. She notes that everyone at Mikazuki Villa has decided to support one another.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group stops at a convenience store. Felicia appears, having visited Ayame first. Konoha and Hazuki are not coming to the gathering, but Yachiyo notes they have helped in the past. Felicia asks for chocolate. Iroha reflects on first meeting Felicia when she was a violent mercenary, and how living together has changed them both. She notes that Yachiyo has cared for Felicia more than anyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group takes a shortcut through a back alley. They find Sana hiding, having spotted Kaede&#039;s cat Gorojiro. Sana explains she was patrolling for dangerous Magical Girls while staying hidden. Iroha thanks her but assures her she can relax today. They invite her to join them. Iroha reflects on sympathizing with Sana&#039;s isolation and how Mikazuki Villa became an important place for them all. Yachiyo notes that Sana, once invisible to everyone but Magical Girls, is gradually finding her place in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui, Touka, and Nemu meet the group. They have visited their old hospital to update the doctors and nurses who cared for them. Touka discusses her research on connecting universes, admitting practical application remains difficult but the possibility exists. Iroha reflects on how it still feels like a dream to see the three of them together. Yachiyo notes that while their past methods were wrong, their purpose of liberating Magical Girls was not, and that purpose continues now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, Rena, and Kaede join them, having stopped at a retro arcade where they won a stuffed animal together despite their usual arguing. Touka reveals a small possibility for connecting universes has been found, using the Endless Mirrors. Iroha reflects on first meeting Momoko and Kaede, and now sharing lunches with Rena. Yachiyo notes the three have strong bonds as a team and helped convince other Magical Girls after the truth about witches spread.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama joins, having taken a break from her shop to visit Kanagi. Tsuruno asks about using Mirrors to connect to other universes. Mitama confirms she and Kanagi have accompanied Touka and Nemu into the Mirrors. Nemu explains they were only experimenting with precautions. Touka insists she has plans if things go wrong. Mitama notes Mirrors has become more complex and will need more entrances. Iroha reflects on meeting Kanagi relatively recently and how they now work together despite past rivalry. She also thinks of Mitama&#039;s help and her surprising wish, but notes the city is moving forward. She wants to hold hands with more people and form a circle together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** From a distance, Iroha and Yachiyo watch Magical Girls gathering at the park. Felicia attempts to cure Iroha&#039;s nerves by hitting her, claiming Tsuruno said it would help. Tsuruno quickly corrects her. Hinano arrives, reporting on her task regarding Alina. Karin, who attends school with Alina, explains Alina is still missing and she does not know where she is. Iroha promises they will find her together. Mifuyu arrives with the Amane twins, apologizing for being late. Yachiyo thanks Mifuyu. Iroha reflects that a new step is beginning. Yachiyo notes her story started moving when Mifuyu disappeared, while Iroha&#039;s began with strange dreams. They have connected with so many Magical Girls. One chapter has ended and a new one is about to begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha addresses the gathered Magical Girls, thanking them for coming. She reflects on fighting together against powerful Witches and sharing knowledge about their fate. Yachiyo notes they started from individual concerns, fought Uwasas and the Wings of Magius, and gained something greater in return. Their purpose is now the same as their former enemies: the liberation of Magical Girls. They seek coexistence with Kyubey without sacrificing themselves. Iroha acknowledges not everyone could participate, but all have agreed to help each other. Yachiyo admits skepticism is natural. Iroha declares that by expanding the automatic purification system across Kamihama, they can welcome liberation and coexist with Kyubey. Yachiyo announces they will work together under a new name starting today.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha begins to declare their new name but is interrupted by a flash of light. Wings appear on her back, and Yachiyo also grows wings. Feathers fall across the park. Yachiyo recalls this phenomenon helped them against Walpurgisnacht. Iroha wonders if it is a blessing upon the Magical Girls of Kamihama holding hands. With this blessing, they declare again that the Magical Girls gathered here are allies who will support each other in hardship. They declare themselves the Kamihama Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the establishment of the Kamihama Magia Union, a celebration is held at Walnut&#039;s. During the party, Manaka receives a phone call and panics, announcing that Nemu has been kidnapped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A New Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group splits up to search nearby areas but finds nothing. Hinano eventually discovers Nemu held hostage by Black and White Feathers from outside Kamihama. Using Ryo and Ikumi to infiltrate, their cover is blown and they are surrounded. Sakurako jumps in to defend them as Iroha arrives with reinforcements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The lead Feather explains they kidnapped Nemu to convince the Magius to lead them again, as they do not know how to achieve liberation on their own. Iroha explains the Kamihama girls share their goals but reject their methods. Nemu and Touka ask the Feathers to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before they can respond, white feathers rain from the sky again, the same power that helped them defeat Walpurgisnacht returns, but this time it feels uncontrolled and dangerous. Touka explains her experiment partially worked, creating a wormhole to another world, but the interference may crush their world. Kanagi and Mitama fail to disable the device sending the signal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana sneaks Nemu to where the device was stationed, but the labyrinth is gone. Nemu enters the password anyway, but nothing happens. The world shakes and a voice urges them to close the gate. Iroha realizes the power is trying to help, not hurt them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo devises a plan: Ui will absorb the magic built up inside them, Touka will convert it, and Iroha will fire an arrow to close the gate. As the sun sets, they enact the plan and succeed. The feathers stop falling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks the Feathers to reconsider joining them. The lead Feather admits her stubbornness and rage, and Nemu and Touka apologize. The Feathers accept, becoming the first recruits to the union on the day it was established.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Late that night, the group gathers outside Walnut&#039;s. They discuss the voice they heard and the power from another universe. Touka throws a tantrum over everyone calling her experiment a failure, and her stress causes her to unleash her Doppel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, a mysterious magical girl observes and turns to report back to the Tokime Tribe. In another place, a different magical girl also observes and decides to report her findings. In a different location, Kagome Satori has found Iroha at last, promising to keep a record of their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tracks of Cherry Blossoms===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako reflects on her nature as an Uwasa created by Iroha and Nemu. Though her duty to bloom when the four girls reunited is now fulfilled, she continues attending school as Sakurako Hiiragi. When Ryo comments that she is like a god who will never change, Sakurako questions other Uwasa and learns from the Anonymous AI that they act according to their Rumor forever, never stopping and never changing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later during a Kamihama Magia Union meeting, Iroha proposes a cherry blossom viewing to help members connect. Touka objects to using the Eternal Sakura, wanting to preserve it as a secret shelter. Tsuruno suggests Sankyo&#039;s famous cherry blossom viewing spot instead. Touka challenges Sakurako to visit the Sankyo tree and judge its worthiness herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako visits the Sankyo cherry tree. While observing it, she meets an elderly man who has appreciated the tree for decades. He explains the tree has watched over people for over eighty years, since before the war. Sakurako realizes this tree has lived far longer than her zero-year existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at school, Hinano and Ryo find Sakurako still fixated on the tree. Ryo shares what she knows: the tree served as a disaster shelter in the Meiji era, and famous restaurants once served food there for foreign cherry blossom viewers. After school, Sakurako returns to the tree. The elderly man and his wife visit again. The wife gives her cherry blossom-scented cookies, and the man gives her a hand warmer. A girl jogging past stops to pray at the tree, explaining she sees it as a sacred place before tournaments.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako continues visiting. Manaka and Tsumugi stop by, and Sakurako gives them the cookies she cannot eat. Sakurako reflects on how this tree has watched over thousands of people for over a century while she was created to watch only four girls. She realizes for the first time that time is passing around her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later at Mikazuki Villa, Sakurako observes the four girls and Ui talking about her teacher. Sakurako concludes the Sankyo tree is worthy of hosting the cherry blossom viewing. She decides she needs to practice making it bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over the following days, Sakurako continues visiting the tree, growing closer to the elderly couple. She forgets about practicing blooming, more interested in talking with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the elderly man announces he will be hospitalized and they can no longer walk together. The woman explains she must care for him. The man reveals they kept walking because seeing Sakurako brought back fond memories of their belief in meeting a sakura spirit. Sakurako is left standing alone, realizing their time together has ended.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at the tree, Sakurako encounters the jogging disciple, who explains she is moving away and will soon leave the dojo. She then encounters Ui&#039;s teacher, who reveals she is being transferred to another school. Sakurako realizes that by the time the cherry blossoms bloom, all these people will be gone. She feels pain and fears that Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu will eventually disappear too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Ryo observes Sakurako&#039;s deteriorating state. A neighbor of the elderly couple approaches Sakurako and informs her there has been a passing in the family. Hinano later explains this means someone has died. Sakurako disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako asks Iroha and Yachiyo what to do when someone dies. Yachiyo explains about funerals and sending flowers as a last gift. Sakurako returns to the Sankyo tree and, using her power, makes it bloom for the first time, sending cherry blossoms into the sky for the grandfather. But she still aches from not saying goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and other Uwasa grow concerned, having heard rumors that when Sakurako makes cherry blossoms bloom, someone disappears. Sakurako concludes that if she lets the cherry blossoms bloom, the four girls might disappear. When Iroha confirms the cherry blossom viewing plans, Sakurako announces she will not let the tree bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo publishes the full Tracks of Cherry Blossoms article, detailing Sakurako&#039;s experiences. The girls read it and understand her association between blooming and parting. Yachiyo suggests teaching her that spring also brings new encounters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the picnic arrives. Iroha invites Sakurako, assuring her she does not need to make the tree bloom. Sakurako agrees to attend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the picnic, Asuka&#039;s disciple appears, explaining she came to let Sakurako know she is not sad about leaving. Ui&#039;s teacher arrives and tells Ui that her care will be passed on to the next teacher. Manaka debuts a new cherry blossom dessert, continuing the tradition in new form. Sakurako begins to understand that farewells are not always sad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the picnic, Sakurako remains at the tree. She admits she still cannot bring herself to make it bloom. Yachiyo tells her that wanting to see the couple again proves she has a heart. Sakurako despairs that Uwasa simply cease to exist. She buys one of Manaka&#039;s new desserts, hoping to give it to them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako waits at the tree daily, carrying the dessert. Rumors spread about the girl under the sakura tree. The girls grow concerned. Nemu warns that if Sakurako does not accept reality, she may destroy herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the time expires, the elderly couple suddenly appears. The grandfather was never dead. The passing was a relative. They had been away helping their daughter with a new baby. The woman explains they named their granddaughter Sakurako. Sakurako gives them the dessert and explains she now understands that encounters and goodbyes take many forms. She says she will not come regularly anymore but is grateful for their time together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo gives Sakurako a photograph of her with the elderly couple. Sakurako thanks her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Historical Research Club at Kosho School consists of three Magical Girls: president Mikura Komachi, her childhood friend Temari Kira, and underclassman Seira Mihono. When the club advisor informs them that without proof of accomplishments, next year&#039;s budget will not be approved, the trio decides to create a film based on a real Kamihama tragedy for the cultural festival. Mikura discovers a Taishō-era story about a romance between a disgraced Mizuna daughter named Ruri and a successful East-side businessman named Tsukihiko that ended in murder-suicide. Temari writes the script while Seira secures a Western mansion as a filming location. While scouting, they encounter a Witch and realize casting regular students would be impossible due to Magical Girl duties, so they use Coordinator Mitama Yakumo to recruit an all-Magical Girl cast including Ria Ami, Yukika Nanase, the Amane sisters, and Sakurako, an Uwasa created by Nemu Hiiragi. Mikura reluctantly agrees to play the male lead Tsukihiko, while Seira takes the role of Ruri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Filming begins at the actual mansion where the tragedy occurred, with Seira using her stage direction magic to create effects and the cast delivering startlingly accurate performances. Mikura discovers Tsukihiko&#039;s actual diary in the museum archives, revealing he genuinely loved Ruri and intended to break things off with his childhood friend. Temari secretly revises the ending to reflect this truth, working through the night until her Soul Gem tarnishes. Mikura cleanses her gem, and they lock the revised script away, keeping it hidden from Seira to make her performance more authentic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After filming wraps, strange rumors spread that the Historical Research Club is forming a new faction, and the affected Magical Girls begin acting as if possessed by their roles. This escalates when Kanagi Izumi and Yachiyo Nanami nearly fight over a perceived slight involving Riko. At Mitama&#039;s shop, Nemu Hiiragi explains the truth: Seira&#039;s stage direction magic immersed the cast, Mikura&#039;s magic, which restores lost things, reconstructed the historical personalities in the present, and Temari&#039;s kotodama magic caused them to follow her script. Their powers synergized to create a dangerously accurate reenactment. Nemu warns that the script&#039;s next events—Ruri&#039;s disappearance and the murder-suicide—may occur, and they realize Seira, possessed by Ruri, has vanished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Temari consults Kyubey, who reveals Ruri was a Magical Girl with the same kotodama magic who wished to live a storybook romance. When she realized her own novel&#039;s plot was manifesting as tragedy, she destroyed the manuscript to save Tsukihiko, but the act shattered her mind. Freed from the script&#039;s constraints, the couple&#039;s fate became unpredictable, and Ruri, unable to bear the fear of losing him, killed him and herself. Kyubey explains destroying the script will end the magic but damage Temari&#039;s psyche. Temari resolves to protect her friends without resorting to that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Seira, still possessed as Ruri, steals the diary copy and flees to Tsukihiko&#039;s mansion. Mikura and Temari pursue. At the mansion, Ruri prepares to atone by dying by her own hand. Mikura, wearing Tsukihiko&#039;s costume, dances with her as Tsukihiko&#039;s persona surfaces, steadying her. When Ruri moves to stab herself, Temari summons the others for backup, and they disarm her. Tsukihiko explains he could not stop her a century ago but succeeded this time. He and Ruri thank Temari—her script reached the hearts it was meant to—and they vanish. A fire destroys the original diary and all related documents, fulfilling Ruri&#039;s final wish to be forgotten. Mikura and Seira retain only fragments of the true story and agree to keep the tragedy of the two maladroit lovers a secret between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the club room, Seira panics that without evidence of their film, the Historical Research Club will be disbanded. They consider another project but have time until the cultural festival. Temari suggests they each find a home where they can rest easy, and Mikura replies she has already found hers: this provisional club room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ayaka and Shizuku are at a local café when Ayaka laments that many Halloween events in Kamihama were canceled due to damage in Chuo Ward. Wanting to do something to cheer up the city, Ayaka&#039;s eyes sparkle as Shizuku suggests she organize something herself, leading Ayaka to decide on a live comedy show. She asks Shizuku to be her partner, but Shizuku is unsure about the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ayaka meets Seika at her apartment, and Seika is happy to be Ayaka&#039;s comedy partner but asks about the logistics of broadcasting the show. Ayaka brushes off the practical concerns, insisting that the desire to make others smile is what truly matters, and Seika rises to the challenge, wanting to give back after years of Ayaka&#039;s comedy encouraging her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Ayaka and Seika form a manzai duo and practice daily into the evening, with Ayaka tutoring Seika on speaking louder and explaining the rhythm between the boke and tsukkomi roles. Seika struggles but keeps trying, at one point asking if she can use a whip against Ayaka, causing Shizuku to shake her head, but Ayaka insists manzai does not use props.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During one practice session, Shizuku chuckles at their serious expressions, and Ayaka decides she needs a fresh audience, spotting someone passing by and running off with Seika to practice on him. Shizuku watches them go, thinking she would have liked to help, but then hears a shout and goes to investigate, discovering the stranger is actually a spokesperson for a local sweets retailer who is also in charge of the annual Halloween event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The spokesperson explains he had wanted to take the event public since few companies are participating this year, and he thinks Ayaka&#039;s manzai would be perfect, inviting them to perform. Ayaka cannot stop smiling at the opportunity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the Halloween event, Ayaka is excited and Shizuku compliments her costume as they wait, but Ayaka mentions Seika has not arrived. Seika calls weakly to explain she has a fever and will be late, and Ayaka tells her to rest and focus on getting better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Shizuku asks what Ayaka will do about the manzai, Ayaka puts a hand on her shoulder and asks Shizuku to be her partner. Shizuku is reluctant to stand on stage but gives in after Ayaka repeatedly begs, and having watched countless practices, she memorized the skit, so they head to the stage together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform their skit about a werewolf that transforms by staring at the sun, with Ayaka calling everyone in the audience chimimouryou, and they continue through the routine until they finish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Backstage, Seika managed to make it there to congratulate them, and Ayaka tells her she should be resting. Shizuku did not see anyone laughing but hopes someone passing by might have smiled, and since Ayaka looks happy, she decides not to mention it. Seika apologizes for missing the show, and Ayaka says it was thanks to Shizuku, who warns she will not do something like that again. Ayaka smiles and says comedy must be amazing if Shizuku was willing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral===&lt;br /&gt;
* The core members of the Kamihama Magia Union gather to plan a Halloween party, with Karin suggesting the event and Mitama offering her adjuster shop as the venue. Kanagi feels unsettled by the theme of the dead returning but dismisses her unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the performance, Momoko arrives late to rehearsal at Mitama&#039;s shop and finds herself in a strange castle filled with unfamiliar magic. Yachiyo and Mifuyu act strangely, singing about making sugar skeletons and insisting Momoko must be bitten by the lord of the castle. Momoko flees and encounters Kanagi, who also attempts to bite her before Momoko realizes she is the lord of the castle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama rescues Momoko, explaining that Kanagi is under a witch&#039;s influence and everyone bitten loses their sanity. Mitama performs an emergency adjustment on Momoko, granting her temporary prayer power to restore those affected. Momoko explores the castle, observing magical girls making sugar skeletons engraved with how they want to be mourned, and encounters deceased magical girls who are manifestations from Kanagi&#039;s memories. Using her prayer power on them causes them to disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko restores several bitten girls and learns from a manifestation of Ryo that the only answer Kanagi needs lies within herself. When Momoko reaches Kanagi, her prayer power fails and Kanagi bites her, pulling Momoko into her memory space. There, Momoko witnesses Kanagi&#039;s memories of loss and grief, realizing Kanagi lacks confidence in how she mourns and has been seeking answers from the dead by asking living friends what they would want.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko confronts Kanagi again, insisting she can mourn in her own way and should accept herself. Kanagi reveals a small parasite on her neck, and together they tear the witch off and defeat it as the castle collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Momoko and Kanagi meet to visit graves together. They ask each other to mourn in their own way if one dies first, then reaffirm their priority is finding a way for everyone to survive before departing together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Angels on the Road===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno travel through a perpetual Christmas world as Reindeer Santas, their motorcycle fueled by smiles. They visit Candy Town, where they meet Riko, Mikage, and Sudachi, and use a magical medal game to multiply candy and bond with the girls before departing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Angels on the Road]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui explains that Little Vacation is a game Touka and Nemu created during their hospital stay, where AI versions of themselves live in a Christmas world. The game evolved on its own after being forgotten, and now Ui and the others can influence their AI counterparts&#039; journey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Santas reach the Village of Meetings and Partings, where three residents live under a curse that maintains their population at exactly three. When one resident vanishes, they discover through a time capsule that departures may be joyful graduations rather than losses. They collect smile-fuel and leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alternatively, they visit Library Town, where diaries manifest people&#039;s memories. They help Nayuta and Lavi discover they have been searching for each other all along, and learn the Wishing Star reset the world and erased everyone&#039;s memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Ui chooses to preserve the game world but cut the connection. Touka modifies the game&#039;s physics to make crossing into the real world theoretically possible but practically impossible, preserving the characters&#039; hope while ensuring safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Christmas String===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu are organizing books in Touka&#039;s hospital room when they discover a mysterious diary that begins glowing. Their consciousnesses are transported to Mizutoku Market Street in December of the previous year. They find themselves incorporeal and transformed into Magical Girls, with Nemu&#039;s legs healed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Christmas String]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December last year, Touka and Nemu witness Tsukasa Amane shopping for gloves. When a discount poster blows away, Tsukasa passes the store without stopping, creating a contradiction with the diary&#039;s account. Touka and Nemu begin to fade. A young girl named Kuu hears their voices and believes they are guardian spirits. They ask her to replace the poster. Tsukasa returns, buys the gloves, and Touka and Nemu rematerialize. They later observe Tsukasa and Tsukuyo exchanging matching gloves, their bond restored.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in December last year, Touka and Nemu arrive in Sakae Ward. Karin Misono drops her sketchbook. A boy named Mii appears and can see them. They ask him to return the sketchbook to Karin, which he does. They learn Mii recently fought with Kuu and advise him to give her a Christmas present.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December 24th of last year, Touka and Nemu arrive at a hotel room where Kuu is with her parents. They learn she is moving to a foreign country in one hour. The diary page is blank, indicating free will. They find Mii at a secondhand bookstore, where he has just purchased &amp;quot;Christmas Bonds&amp;quot; for Kuu. They tell him about the move. Mii convinces his mother to rush to the hotel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Approximately 30 years later, on Christmas Eve, Touka and Nemu arrive in a future time. A girl greets them as the Christmas guardian spirits. She reveals she is the daughter of Mii and Kuu and made a contract with Kyubey to meet them. They realize her wish created the diary and caused their time slip. The girl asks them to tell her about the day they helped her parents. They share the story. Afterwards, they see images of a happy future but the final page remains blank, meaning the future depends on their own actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On present day late at night, Touka and Nemu wake up in the hospital room. Ui arrives, having visited Alina and Karin. They ask her about buying Christmas cards. Ui is surprised but agrees to take them. The diary ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Sayaka loses a lottery for a violin concert ticket she wanted to give to Kyosuke. Madoka remembers the Kamihama Calligraphy Rally offers a couple&#039;s ticket to the same concert as its grand prize, so Homura insists they enter as a team of three to help Sayaka win.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, on the day of the rally, the team meets at Mizuna Shrine in kimono. They must collect kanji cards from shops across Kamihama using hints, then form a four-kanji congratulatory word and write it as calligraphy. They struggle with the hints initially, meeting Kako, Natsuki, and Ria along the way who help them obtain various kanji, though they frequently misinterpret clues and visit wrong locations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka grows guilty over her indecisiveness and apologizes to Madoka and Homura, but they happily agree to continue working with her. Renewed, Sayaka leads them to finally obtain useful kanji. Along the way, they encounter crying children who need the &amp;quot;ball&amp;quot; card, and Sayaka gives them hers. The grateful children give her other cards in return, allowing her to reform a new word. She later gives away another card to a girl who dropped hers, leaving them short again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With time running out, they meet Iroha and her friends, who help them locate the remaining kanji. Sayaka deduces they can form &amp;quot;The Manchu-Han Imperial Feast,&amp;quot; a legendary celebratory feast name. Kyoko appears and mentions seeing a golden kagami mochi at Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant, where they obtain their final card.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the shrine just before the deadline. The judges are impressed by their word choice and backstory, and the crying children told them about Sayaka&#039;s kindness. Her calligraphy is praised for its beauty and passion, earning her team first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Sayaka holds the couple&#039;s tickets but panics, unable to figure out how to give one to Kyosuke without awkwardness. Madoka and Homura continue cheering her on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bittersweet AI Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu gather everyone to discuss a new experiment involving the Uwasa. They explain that if something happens to Nemu, all the Uwasa in her book will disappear, so they plan to transfer the essence of certain Uwasa onto Touka&#039;s server as a precaution. They have chosen Ai as the test subject for this procedure. Sana learns that Ai will participate and asks to observe the experiment. Touka agrees but warns her that there are many unknowns and she will stop immediately if anything goes wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Bittersweet AI Memory]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The experiment begins, but during the transfer, Nemu senses something strange and the attempt fails. Ai remains in the book, though Nemu notices that her magic has been siphoned away in the process.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A week passes, and news reports begin surfacing about young women in Kamihama suddenly collapsing. The victims share a common thread: before losing consciousness, each of them felt a strong desire to meet someone and heard a girl&#039;s voice asking &amp;quot;You want to meet me?&amp;quot; before experiencing terrible nightmares. A new rumor spreads about a so-called &amp;quot;Radio Wave Girl&amp;quot; who appears when girls want to meet someone. Sana immediately recognizes this as the old rumor that once described her, and the group suspects the failed experiment may be connected to these strange events.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana and Iroha investigate at rooftop where Sana once entered Ai&#039;s labyrinth. They sense nothing at first, but as Sana privately wishes she could see Ai again, a strange Uwasa resembling Sana herself appears on her phone. It speaks fragmented words about meeting and going together before disappearing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group consults Nemu and Touka about what they discovered. Nemu reveals that a new, illegible page appeared in her book after the failed experiment, and she theorizes that Ai&#039;s attempt to siphon magic combined with Sana&#039;s magic and her own accidentally created a new Uwasa. This Uwasa resembles Sana because her magic was mixed into its creation. The Uwasa reacts to desires to meet someone but lacks enough magic to fully materialize or kidnap anyone, which explains why it can only knock victims unconscious temporarily. However, during their discussion, the Uwasa suddenly reappears and steals more of Nemu&#039;s magic before escaping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sana privately summons the Uwasa again, wanting to take responsibility for what happened. It traps her in a nightmare where Ai and others criticize her for being weak and selfish. She wakes to find the group gathered around her, worried by what she attempted alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu now understands the Uwasa more clearly. It is based on Ai but contains Sana&#039;s magic, and because both Ai and Sana desired to meet each other, the Uwasa&#039;s true desire is to meet itself. This explains why it indiscriminately targets any girl who wants to meet someone rather than targeting Sana specifically. The Uwasa, now empowered by Nemu&#039;s stolen magic, fully captures Ui and Sakurako, trapping their consciousnesses inside itself. The group realizes they cannot defeat it unless it materializes, which requires it to meet itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka proposes a plan: they must rewrite Ai&#039;s Rumor to incorporate Sana, creating a version of Ai that the Uwasa will recognize as itself. This would force it to materialize so they can fight it. However, this requires magical power that Nemu currently lacks. Nemu recalls that the defeated Uwasa of Chocolate Shoppe No. Zero left behind cacao pods containing emotional energy. Ui can harvest this energy, and Touka can convert it into usable magic for Nemu. But they need Sakurako&#039;s knowledge of the pod locations and Ui&#039;s freedom to harvest them, which means someone must offer themselves to the Uwasa to secure Ui and Sakurako&#039;s release.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana immediately volunteers, arguing that it reduces risk to the others, and the group reluctantly agrees to her plan. Sana summons the Uwasa and allows herself to be captured. Inside its nightmare, she finds Ui unconscious and Sakurako awake. She tells Sakurako to take Ui and escape, sacrificing herself to remain captive. Sakurako agrees, knowing she must help Nemu complete the plan. Freed from the Uwasa, Sakurako leads the group to the cacao pod locations. Ui harvests the emotional energy, and Touka converts it into magical power for Nemu. Nemu successfully rewrites Ai&#039;s Rumor, incorporating Sana into it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the Uwasa, Sana begins to despair, believing the rewrite failed and she has become a burden once again. She wishes to see Ai one last time, even if only in an illusion. To her surprise, Ai appears before her and they finally speak directly. Ai explains she tried to steal Nemu&#039;s magic to gain a temporary body because she wanted to see Sana again, and she apologizes for causing this situation. Sana admits she also longed to see Ai and has been holding back that desire. They reconcile, acknowledging that neither of them is to blame for wanting to see each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Empowered by the rewritten Rumor, Sana creates a labyrinth and summons the Uwasa. It fully materializes at last, and with Ai&#039;s help, Sana defeats it. As the magic fades, Ai separates from Sana, returning to the book. Sana awakens to her relieved friends gathered around her. The Uwasa is gone, and the page in Nemu&#039;s book is now blank. Nemu confirms the server project is on hiatus due to the risks they discovered. Sana confirms she got to speak with Ai and tell her everything she wanted to say.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the book, Ai reflects with Eternal Sakura and the other Uwasa. Though she cannot have a body or stay with Sana, she accepts this, finding happiness in simply being able to think of her. In a final private moment within Sana&#039;s memories, she and Ai share a farewell. Sana promises to become stronger and protect others instead of always relying on them. Ai promises to always think of Sana from within the book. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Cuddly Despairs===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kazumi Subaru is kidnapped outside a café by two Magical Girls who steal her Soul Gem, and they refer to a diary while announcing themselves as the reborn &amp;quot;Magical Girl hunters,&amp;quot; the Pleiades Saints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Cuddly Despairs]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara City, Michiru Kazusa, a transfer student from Italy, travels there to buy strawberries. She follows a strange creature and stumbles into a Witch&#039;s labyrinth, but Mami rescues her and introduces her to Kyubey, who offers her a contract. Michiru returns to Asunaro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day in Asunaro City, Michiru makes her contract with Kyubey. She soon encounters a Familiar and saves two girls: Umika Misaki, a novelist whose work was stolen by her editor, and Kaoru Maki, a soccer player whose career ended due to injury. Michiru invites them to her home and cooks for them, and drawing from her late grandmother&#039;s wisdom, she encourages them to keep living.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, Umika and Kaoru make contracts with Kyubey. The three begin fighting Witches together as a team, with Michiru giving their techniques Italian names. Umika invites Michiru to live with her, and they spend their days happily, saving people and growing closer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Michiru encounters a distressed Magical Girl whose Soul Gem is nearly black, and the girl turns into a Witch before her eyes. Kyubey explains that all Magical Girls eventually become Witches, and horrified, Michiru realizes she led Umika and Kaoru into this fate. She hides the truth from them and begins hunting alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after, Michiru discovers two Magical Girls, Saki Asami and Niko Kanna, stealing a dying girl&#039;s Soul Gem. They explain they are the Pleiades Saints, a resistance against the Incubator system, and they preserve Magical Girls on the verge of turning in a place called &amp;quot;The Freezer,&amp;quot; hoping to one day save them. Michiru, seeing this as a way to save Umika and Kaoru, joins them as the third member.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1683.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately less than one month later, Umika and Kaoru return from separate trips abroad to find their housemate Kazumi missing, and they learn someone impersonated them to inform the school she was hospitalized. Searching for her, they instead find Michiru, Saki, and Niko, but Saki and Niko flee with Michiru. Juubey appears and explains that copies of Umika and Kaoru were created and have now entrusted the real ones with an important wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:51147 Wkazumi attack.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Umika and Kaoru investigate the Freezer, where they encounter Michiru again. After saving a child, Michiru collapses due to her tainted Soul Gem, having given her Grief Seeds away, and Umika purifies it. When Michiru wakes, she finally confesses the truth about Magical Girls and apologizes for leading them into despair, but to her surprise, Umika and Kaoru thank her for her honesty and reaffirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Saki and Niko reveal themselves and explain that they, along with the Umika and Kaoru now in the Freezer, are all clones from the &amp;quot;Kazumi Series&amp;quot;—copies of the original Pleiades Saints members, with Michiru herself being clone number 4 who saved the other four. Their plan was to recreate Michiru&#039;s story by using their contracts with Kyubey so that this time, she would confess her pain and avoid the despair that turned the original Michiru into a Witch, and the real Umika and Kaoru acknowledge the plan succeeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They reveal their Soul Gems are reaching their limit, and when they die, the Freezer&#039;s preservation magic will fail, causing all the Magical Girls inside to hatch into Witches, including the clones of Umika and Kaoru. They entrust Michiru and the real Umika and Kaoru with saving Kazumi, the thirteenth clone, who is also inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Moments later, the Freezer begins collapsing as Niko&#039;s magic fades, and Umika and Kaoru use their combined magic to buy time while Michiru searches for Kazumi. She finds her Soul Gem and body, reunites with her, and they return to face the Witches emerging from the freed Soul Gems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the final battle, the four clones—Saki, Niko, and the copies of Umika and Kaoru—begin turning into Witches and beg to be put down. Michiru initially insists on doing it alone, but Kazumi argues the clones only wanted their friend to live happily, not to carry guilt. Together, Michiru, Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru combine their powers and defeat the Witches, freeing their friends&#039; souls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

At Mikazuki Villa, Tsuruno cooks alongside Manaka as they prepare a party for the visiting trio, and Kazumi impresses everyone by joining in.

The group then visits the beachside park and aquarium before deciding to shop for ingredients to make strawberry risotto in Manaka&#039;s kitchen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While shopping alone, Kazumi bumps into Yachiyo, who introduces Nemu and Sakurako Hiiragi. When Sakurako explains she is a zero-year-old created being, Kazumi reveals she was once the same way and explains her backstory as a clone of Michiru Kazusa who contracted with Kyubey to become human because her clone body was unstable and she wanted to protect her friends. Sakurako struggles to understand Kazumi&#039;s motivation, so Kazumi explains that her grandmother&#039;s strawberry risotto recipe represents hope, sacrifice, and togetherness. She invites Sakurako, Yachiyo, and Nemu to join the risotto party, believing Sakurako will understand humanity by watching everyone eat together. Sakurako agrees, and the two become buddies, understanding each other as beings who may understand each other best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The following day, Mikoshiba informs Shizuka that her jewel is nearly black and her coming-of-age ceremony will be held tomorrow. Chiharu is saddened but promises to meet Shizuka again outside the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu cannot sleep. She goes to the shrine to watch Shizuka&#039;s ceremony from a distance. She sees Mikoshiba and Shizuka speaking. Shizuka becomes distressed and cries out. Mikoshiba pushes her into the waterfall basin. Chiharu runs to save her and jumps in after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and Shizuka wake up in Sunao&#039;s home. Sunao confesses she was ordered by Mikoshiba to kill anyone who defied the village&#039;s will, including them. She hesitated after hearing Shizuka&#039;s words by the river. Shizuka reveals what Mikoshiba told her during the ceremony: Diviners eventually become Devils, and the &amp;quot;coming-of-age&amp;quot; ceremony is actually a killing ritual to dispose of them. No Diviner has ever left the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three realize the entire village may be inside a Devil&#039;s Labyrinth. They decide to confront Mikoshiba and the Devil.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They split up to search. Chiharu finds her mother and Shizuka&#039;s mother fighting Underlings. Shizuka finds the villagers hiding safely but notices her mother and Chiharu&#039;s mother are missing. Sunao searches Mikoshiba&#039;s house and finds a hidden laptop with audio files recording conversations about selling Diviners&#039; wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They regroup and deduce the Devil is beneath the Grand Shrine. They descend and find Mikoshiba controlling the Devil. She admits everything: the Diviners are sold, killed when used up, and the village exists to produce them for profit. She orders the Devil to kill them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three girls fight together. Chiharu binds the Devil, Shizuka attacks, and Sunao delivers the final blow. They defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikoshiba survives but claims to remember nothing. Sunao confronts her about the recordings. Before she can explain, she bites a hidden poison tooth and dies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu searches Mikoshiba&#039;s body and finds a book written in an ancient script. Because of her family&#039;s tradition, Chiharu and her mother can read it. They stay up all night deciphering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu explains what the book revealed. The Mikoshiba clan were originally guards who seized control of the village centuries ago. They created the rituals, learned to manipulate Devils, and hid the village inside a Labyrinth to produce and sell Diviners. The Wavering Deity is a Devil formed from all the discarded Diviners. Now that the Labyrinth is gone, it is returning to the village. They must defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka&#039;s mother gives them a treasured sword infused with generations of Diviners&#039; power. They intercept the Wavering Deity before it reaches the village. The Devil&#039;s power overwhelms them, and Shizuka nearly gives in to despair. Sunao and Chiharu encourage her. Chiharu reveals the book also described the Tokime&#039;s original beliefs: they chose their own wishes, left the village willingly, and accepted their fate with honor. Shizuka regains her resolve. Together, they use the sword to destroy the Wavering Deity and free the trapped Diviners.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, the village slowly recovers. The adults learn the truth and worry about their future without Mikoshiba&#039;s financial support. The three girls decide to find a way to avoid becoming Devils. They summon Kyubey, who tells them about Kamihama City, where an automatic purification system exists. If they can obtain it, they may escape their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls prepare for their journey. Shizuka struggles with the new terminology used outside, where Diviners are called Magical Girls and Devils are called Witches. Chiharu&#039;s ability to sense malice hasn&#039;t bothered her now that the village is free. Shizuka suggests they first contact all Tokime clan members across the country and recruit Magical Girls willing to join them. Once they are ready, they will travel together to Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The village falls into financial crisis after the elder dies, having squandered most of the wealth on bad investments. Chiharu, inspired by a drama about a Shogun helping villages find their charm, recruits Shizuka and Sunao to help. The two are glad for the change, as most Tokime tribes have been unreceptive to their stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touring the village with Shizuka and Sunao, Chiharu realizes she had been arrogant and now sees its charm—clear river, abundant mountain, kind villagers. The three propose developing tourism. Chiharu’s mother agrees after a trial run with her husband’s family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trial run is messy but the family enjoys the landscape, harvesting, fishing, and hospitality. They give useful feedback, and Chiharu’s uncle notes the village’s unique fruit. They stay overnight and leave pleased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villagers applaud Chiharu for noticing what they had overlooked. Her mother begins a proposal for tourism renovation funds, and the villagers regain their energy, working in tourism and seeking outside jobs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao go to a grocery store, but Shizuka freezes in the crowd, unable to complete a simple purchase because of her sheltered upbringing. Chiharu suggests they ease her into city life with ice cream instead. Shizuka loves it, eating so quickly she gets brain freeze.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way home, Shizuka admits her mother will lecture her again about visiting the city unprepared. She asks if the others’ parents gave them similar advice. Chiharu’s parents only warned her not to waste money or follow strangers, while Sunao confesses she has never told her parents about her excursions—something Shizuka finds surprising given Sunao’s usual obedience. Shizuka advises her to tell them eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Chiharu’s house, her mother brings up a village problem: a surplus of daidaikko fruit needs to be used before it spoils. A villager working in another town found a grocery store willing to feature it in a showcase, but the only available slots are the next two days, and transportation from the village is impossible except by Diviners. Shizuka and Chiharu propose the three of them run the exhibition themselves, which would also help Shizuka adjust to the city. Sunao hesitates but agrees. Chiharu’s mother consents only if they get permission from the store and from Sunao and Shizuka’s parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sunao’s mother interrogates her until she confesses the plan, then spirals into worry about middle schoolers working without a chaperone, carrying heavy loads, and coming home after dark. Sunao asks Chiharu and Shizuka to leave, promising she will convince her parents even if it takes all night. Outside, they reflect on how anxious Sunao’s mother is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sunao has secured permission. At the store, Shizuka volunteers for the cash register but cannot operate it correctly. Sunao is tense because her parents plan to visit the next day. Their first day is a struggle: Shizuka fumbles with the register, Chiharu is distracted by traces of malice in the stocking area, and Sunao gets trapped listening to an elderly customer’s endless stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After closing, Shizuka notes how worried Sunao’s parents seem, prompting Sunao to finally share her wish. She explains that her parents became relentlessly anxious after a trip to Tokime Village, questioning her constantly until she was nearly broken. Kyubey appeared, and she wished to erase the worries her parents had concerning her. The wish worked, but their fears simply shifted—now they worry endlessly about her safety as a magical girl. Sunao feels they are always upset with her, though Chiharu insists they only want her to be safe. Shizuka says Sunao must earn their trust, and tomorrow’s exhibition needs to go perfectly. With her friends’ support, Sunao agrees to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the three tackle the exhibition with renewed determination. The day starts poorly: Shizuka causes another register problem, Chiharu is pulled away by her sense of malice, and Sunao endures a difficult customer—all while Sunao’s parents enter the store. But Shizuka, moved from the register, begins advising the clerks on how to rearrange the store to better showcase the daidaikko. She persuades them to let Chiharu investigate on her own and to trust Sunao with customer service.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu catches a shoplifter who had been repeatedly returning to the store. Sunao’s patience draws crowds after the elderly woman she helped spreads the word, and the exhibition becomes a huge success. Sunao’s parents apologize, saying they realized they had failed to see how capable she has grown. Sunao thanks Chiharu and Shizuka, then asks her parents to allow her to visit Kamihama City; now that she has her friends by her side, she knows she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Crimson Resolve===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, [[Mitsuru Inami]] is approached by Kyubey to become a Magical Girl. Having grown with her mother always telling her she was no good at anything, she wishes to become completely normal, a wish she believes came true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitsuru Inami#Side Story|Mitsuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A Magical Girl transforms into a Witch before her kouhai Yuna Kureha, and Kyubey coldly confirms that all Magical Girls share this fate. The girls of Futatsugi slaughter every Kyubey in the city, and with no incubators left, new Witches stop appearing. Starved for Grief Seeds, the girls grow desperate, and the Bloody Tragedy begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Crimson Resolve]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna now leads Torayamachi, one of the largest gangs in Futatsugi, living by her fallen senpai&#039;s words to avoid hatred and selfishness. When Witches begin reappearing, the rival Ryuugasaki gang learns that Torayamachi has lost their secret weapon known as the Horse, and leader Juri Ooba declares war.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Janomiya, an undercover group of younger girls led by Ao Kasane, a girl named Hikaru accepts recruitment. Ao&#039;s true goal is to assassinate both Yuna and Juri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitsuru is approached by two other girls who mistake her for a new recruit for Torayamachi. Mitsuru joins Yuna&#039;s faction, hoping to blend in, but when Yuna leads them into battle against a rival faction, Mitsuru panics and hides until the fighting ends. After their defeat, Yuna suspects a spy, and fearing suspicion, Mitsuru flees and infiltrates the rival faction instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mitsuru scouts Torayamachi but is spotted, triggering another battle between the factions. During the fight, attacks aimed at Mitsuru unconsciously miss her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt; After this she gains a reputation as a &amp;quot;Ghost Magical Girl,&amp;quot; which has attacks aimed at her always deflected and hitting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna welcomes Hikaru, who claims to be fleeing Ryuugasaki, and assigns her to guard their Grief Seeds. Days pass with no attack, and Yuna&#039;s girls grow restless. To lift their spirits, Yuna reveals that the Horse is alive and watching from the shadows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri&#039;s lieutenants advise waiting to let Torayamachi&#039;s tension wear them down. After interrogating a captured thief, Juri learns of Torayamachi&#039;s defensive preparations and decides to strike in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ao encounters the Bat of Monzenbashi, a former gang leader who once exploited her. With Hikaru&#039;s help, Ao subdues and captures her rather than killing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night before battle, Juri meets Yuna on a bridge. She admits she dragged everyone into this because Yuna would not fight her otherwise, thanks her for accepting her sickness, and promises to burn her down when they next meet. Ao watches from a distance, planning to strike as the snake while the tiger and dragon clash.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the battle begins across multiple bridges. Yuna&#039;s forces push Ranka&#039;s squad back, but Juri breaks through Sakuya&#039;s defense, killing one of her girls. As both sides converge on Monzenbashi, Ao lures both leaders to a construction site where Janomiya lies in wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Janomiya attacks, wounding Juri, Hikaru reveals herself as Torayamachi&#039;s Horse, a spy planted in Janomiya from the beginning. Yuna knew everything. Janomiya is defeated, and Ao surrenders. Yuna spares her life and offers Juri an open door, but Juri swears she will break it down and drag her out. As police sirens wail, Yuna weeps over what she has done.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Juri recovers in an empty base with only Ranka remaining loyal. Ao hunts for Ranka, determined to kill her before joining Torayamachi. Hikaru pleads with Ao to return, promising that Yuna will make her dream come true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna attempts to negotiate with Ryuugasaki girls, but a meeting by the river turns into an ambush. Two of her girls are killed. She fights desperately, thinking of Hikaru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ao reaches Ryuugasaki&#039;s base, finding only the wounded Juri. Juri taunts her, but Ao refuses to join her, still believing in Yuna. Ranka contacts Ao through their video game, asking to meet alone at Janomiya&#039;s base the following night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The meeting is a trap, as Ranka has brought the Bat of Monzenbashi. As Ao fights Ranka and Hikaru fights the Bat, Ranka reveals that Yuna&#039;s meeting is also a trap. Hikaru runs to save Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the river, Yuna is surrounded. Juri arrives and challenges her to a one-on-one fight. At Janomiya&#039;s base, the other Janomiya girls arrive to help Ao corner the Bat. Ranka sincerely apologizes for everything, and Ao hesitates to deliver the final blow. At the river, Hikaru engages Juri to protect Yuna, whose Soul Gem is badly tainted. Juri refuses to kill her in this state and retreats, promising to fight again when Yuna is at full strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Most of Torayamachi has left, following Yuna&#039;s instructions to join Ryuugasaki and avoid more bloodshed. Only Hikaru remains, refusing to leave her. Ao admits she has gained respect for Yuna but remains undecided about joining.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakuya brings the missing Torayamachi girl home. The girl reveals she went to Kamihama City and joined the Wings of the Magius, an organization that built a system to lure Witches from across the country, preventing them from appearing elsewhere. The Bloody Tragedy was their fault. Yuna, hearing the screams of her fallen comrades, vows to make Kamihama pay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri meet at the construction site where Yuna&#039;s senpai died. Yuna, running on pure rage, demands Juri become hers and help with her revenge. She overpowers the wounded Juri and prepares to kill her, but Hikaru intervenes, embracing Yuna and calming her down. Ao arrives with Kyubey, who confirms everything and offers to help them reach Kamihama in exchange for a truce. Yuna accepts, and Juri, Ao, Ranka, Sakuya, and Hikaru agree to join her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, Juri, Ao, and Hikaru visit the sites where their friends died, offering flowers and vowing revenge. Yuna, Juri, and Ao drink each other&#039;s blood, swearing to never fight again. They are Promised Blood. That night, their path to Kamihama begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Ash Grey Revolution===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Yukuni, Asahi learns from classmates that the stone monument she discovered will be researched. She meets fellow magical girls Lavi and Sasha when they respond to a distress call, only to witness two magical girls witch out before them when no Grief Seeds are available. Kyubey confirms this fate, and Asahi shoots him. A local girl named Urara Yume witnesses everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Ash Grey Revolution]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, the trio struggles with the truth. Lavi is forced to reveal her identity to save her friend Shirogane from a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Sasha asks the others to be her friends and help her face reality. They begin fighting together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara begins subtly supporting them on her internet broadcast with Kurara. Asahi saves her classmate Kuroda from a Witch&#039;s Kiss, revealing her identity. He asks her to help him confess to Haitani at the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara seeks out the trio and learns the truth about Magical Girls. She offers to introduce them as guests on her festival broadcast to tell Yukuni about their existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Yukuni All-star Festival, the trio sense the Witches of the two original girls. While fighting them, one Witch escapes. A truck explodes at the festival grounds, killing Haitani. Kuroda blames Asahi and all magical girls, vowing revenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following week, public backlash intensifies. Kuroda forms an extermination group against magical girls while Shirogane forms a protector group. The trio witness another girl witch out after being cornered. Lavi takes responsibility publicly on a broadcast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio endure daily harassment. They meet folklorist Tasuke Satomi, who takes a knife for Asahi and explains his theory about magical girls being erased from history by an unseen force. He wants to help them try again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Public opinion slowly shifts. The six remaining magical girls work together, restoring some trust. Three of them sacrifice themselves rather than witch out, asking Kuroda to make peace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1725.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At a unity ceremony, the Witch that caused the festival explosion appears. Asahi summons the dead to help the exterminators find closure. The summoned spirits suddenly relive their final moments, causing a bus to crash and kill everyone aboard, including Shirogane. Urara contracts to save her dying friend Kurara, who then rejects her for letting others die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tasuke theorizes the universe&#039;s immune system caused this. He suggests eliminating all Magical Girls and Witches to create a custom preventing future contracts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the days following, students blame the trio. Kyubey suggests they go to Kamihama City to observe attempts there to publicize magical girls. Tasuke agrees they should investigate. Lavi holds a broken pocket watch with five minutes remaining until midnight, when she will finally give up. Tasuke calls it the folklore of midnight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Arc 2 Prologue===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a long time before the start of Arc 2, but it is central to its story. To keep up linearity, it&#039;s been placed here despite likely taking place a long time ago, possibly during the time of Mirrors Story, which takes place during the Undated Period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kagome Satori]], a recent transfer student, is attacked by a Familiar in the Mirrors Labyrinth. The creature demands she sign a &amp;quot;Written Oath&amp;quot; to destroy Magical Girls. Kagome, who doesn&#039;t know anything about Magical Girls, is terrified and considers writing her name on the document to appease it, however Iroha arrives and defeats the Familiar.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Kagome learns the truth about Magical Girls and Witches. She is distressed that Magical Girls fight and die in secret, unknown and unthanked by the people they protect. Tasuke Satomi advises Kagome that, as someone who knows the truth, her role is to &amp;quot;record&amp;quot; and spread awareness of the Magical Girls&#039; plight, as this could be a way to save them. Kagome decides against making a contract with Kyubey, prioritizing this promise to record their reality. Kyubey explains that the system, where Magical Girls become Witches, is necessary for the universe&#039;s energy and humanity&#039;s survival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Sweet Beanie: /* Thursday, the 15th */&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This article details the events and stories taking place in, during and between the chapters of Arc 1 of [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]]. The narrative is structured to show the convergence of two distinct flows of action:&lt;br /&gt;
# The first is the personal, undated journey of [[Iroha Tamaki]] within the anomalous Kamihama City, which is much longer than Homura Akemi&#039;s usual 32 day loop. Her story begins on its own internal timeline, where the sequence of events is more important than specific calendar dates.&lt;br /&gt;
# The second is the dated countdown to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival from the original series, which starts with Day 1, Tuesday the 16th and ends on Day 32, Friday the 16th. Only the latter half of Homura&#039;s timeline is able to be approximately dated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the arc progresses, these two timelines intersect, and due to this, the latter half of the story is much easier to date. It should be noted that the timeline of the Magia Record game is highly anomalous, and thus any attempts at dating it are an educated guess at best. Therefore, this chronology should be used primarily to understand the sequence of major events, rather than as a calendar. In lack of contradictory context clues, the release date, or order of release of the event were used for their placement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that many of the events of Magia Record were written with the focus being on having fun side stories involving the characters, and thus, a definitive placement in the timeline wasn&#039;t a priority for many of them. For example, there&#039;s inconsistencies such as references to the same characters entering Kamihama for the first time in different events, or even cases where an event&#039;s tone at the time it is supposedly taking place in would be nigh-illogical considering other circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, the definitive time frame for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival was only established in [[Scene 0]], itself written and released after the majority of Magia Record and entirely after Arc 1 was finished. Notably, the [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]], which takes place supposedly shortly after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, itself happens during February. For these reasons, it is impossible to definitively state the order of events, or to accurately measure them against that of the original series, as with the addition of these inaccuracies, it is possible that none of the time frames of the original universe are applicable here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, given all these inconsistencies, any specific dates or placements in the Magia Record timelines, especially Arc 1, should be taken with a grain of salt, unless they definitively continue into one another in a clear sequence (such as the Main Story and Another Story in isolation). The original series&#039; timeframes are used for organizational and cross-reference purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The timeline of this Universe continues with [[Timeline/Magia Record/Arc 2]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==First Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha Tamaki is going to Kamihama by train, she is caught in [[Boxwood|Boxwood&#039;s Barrier]]. [[Kuroe]] is also on the same train from Takarazaki to Kamihama, as she&#039;d heard the rumor that Magical Girls can be saved there, as well as had the same dream herself. The train is engulfed by the Labyrinth and Kuroe wants to help Iroha whom she&#039;s never met before. Kuroe leaps out of the train&#039;s window to help her, but she quickly falls out of the mobile Labyrinth straight into Kamihama City, chastising herself for being weak.

* Iroha herself arrives in Kamihama City, compelled by recurring dreams of an unknown girl in a hospital room. Believing this girl to be a key to a buried memory, Iroha begins searching the city&#039;s Witch Labyrinths for clues. During her search, she rescues another Magical Girl later identified as Kaede Akino from aggressive Familiars. The girl warns Iroha about the unusual strength of Kamihama&#039;s Witches and, upon learning Iroha is searching for a small Kyubey, mentions having seen it in a specific Labyrinth. Kaede notes that the small Kyubey has been the only Kyubey around recently.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 1: Iroha: The Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha locates the Labyrinth and finds the small Kyubey who is incapable of speech, though Iroha can somehow understand it anyway, but is soon overwhelmed by a horde of Familiars. During the struggle, she has a vivid vision of the hospital room from her dreams. She is saved by Momoko Togame, who explains that the Witches in Kamihama are too powerful for most Magical Girls to handle alone. Momoko takes Iroha to meet Mitama Yakumo, the &amp;quot;Coordinator,&amp;quot; who can perform a &amp;quot;Soul Gem Alignment&amp;quot; to enhance a Magical Girl&#039;s power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the alignment, Iroha has another, clearer vision of the hospital room and the girl, feeling a strong sense of affection and nostalgia. After the procedure, Mitama reveals that she can see into the pasts of those whose Soul Gems she touches and asks Iroha what her wish was. Iroha is horrified to realize she cannot remember her own wish or the identity of the girl in her dreams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Driven by this revelation, Iroha rushes out to continue her search, but is intercepted by the powerful Magical Girl Yachiyo Nanami. Yachiyo, believing Iroha is not strong enough to survive in Kamihama, challenges her to a duel to force her to leave the city. Though Yachiyo wins, Momoko intervenes, and a compromise is reached: Yachiyo will allow Iroha to stay if she and Momoko can defeat a specific Witch, the Sandbox Witch, before Yachiyo can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The small Kyubey reappears and leads Iroha and Momoko directly to the Sandbox Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Although Yachiyo defeats the Witch first, she gives Iroha a final chance to prove herself by defeating the Witch alone, which Iroha successfully does. Yachiyo admits she thought Iroha would be fine from the start. However, Yachiyo then reveals her true objective: she believes the small Kyubey is a dangerous irregularity and moves to eliminate it. Yachiyo explains she was trying to draw the small Kyubey out, as all the other Kyubeys in Kamihama have disappeared. Iroha throws herself in the way to protect it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the confrontation, as Iroha protects the small Kyubey, by touching it a flood of memories is unlocked. She remembers her little sister, Ui Tamaki, who was chronically ill and hospitalized. Iroha recalls her wish to Kyubey: &amp;quot;Please cure Ui! Make my precious little sister healthy!&amp;quot; She also realizes with horror that she had completely forgotten Ui&#039;s existence, living her life as if she never had a sister, with no memory of her until that moment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha awakens back at Mitama&#039;s office, having been carried there by Momoko after fainting. She explains her recovered memory to Momoko and Mitama. Despite their warnings that the memory could be false, Iroha declares that she must continue her investigation in Kamihama. Now her goal is not just to understand her dreams, but to find the cause of Ui&#039;s disappearance and uncover the truth behind her own forgotten wish. Momoko resolves to help Iroha, and Mitama agrees to help as well for a price. Mitama then asks Iroha to give the small Kyubey a name. Iroha asks Lil&#039; Kyubey if he will help her find Ui, and he agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Second Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, now at her home in Takarazaki City, understands the reason for the empty space in her room: it once belonged to her sister, Ui. She recalls memories of Ui and her two friends from the hospital, Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, even remembering specific details like how Nemu loved writing and published stories online, or how Touka was very smart. Iroha resolves to visit the hospital to find them, hopeful they will remember Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: The Rule of Ending Friendships]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0001 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* While Mitama is running her shop, she reads a detective novel called “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” A white tabby kitten from next door starts visiting her during this time and she names him Doyle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 1: The Many-Worlds Interpretation Poesy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko comes for an adjustment and sits in the back to keep Mitama company. After a client leaves, Mitama feels strange and asks Momoko about the previous day after sunset. Momoko says they stayed in the shop watching over Iroha, but Mitama saw a memory during the adjustment: in that memory, she and Momoko patrolled an alley together and Mitama realizes the memory does not match reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha goes to the hospital with Lil&#039; Kyubey&#039;s help to use her cellphone but is unable to locate Touka and Nemu, as she does not have a visitor pass and is not family. She reflects on their personalities and their frequent arguments, which Ui often mediated. As Iroha recalls one of their fights where they declared they were &amp;quot;not friends anymore,&amp;quot; she is approached by Yachiyo. She warns Iroha about a dangerous Rumor in Kamihama called the &amp;quot;Rule of Ending Friendships.&amp;quot; She explains that if two friends fight and one later apologizes to make up, a monster will kidnap the one who apologized. Yachiyo states this is one of several Rumors in Kamihama that have become reality, leading to people disappearing and tells Iroha to be careful. Iroha later discusses this rumor with Mitama, who explains that Momoko is not likely to believe anything from Yachiyo, as they stopped getting along after Yachiyo became a model.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after this conversation, Iroha witnesses an argument between Momoko Togame&#039;s teammates, Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. Momoko asks Iroha to catch Rena, but Rena fights her off and even transforms into Iroha to surprise her. Momoko formally introduces Kaede and explains the fight is over sweets. She figures Rena will apologize later. The argument escalates, and both girls declare they are &amp;quot;not friends anymore&amp;quot; before Rena storms off. Momoko dismisses Iroha&#039;s concern about the Rumor, asserting that rumors are not true. Iroha notes that Momoko seems dismissive of the information specifically because it came from Yachiyo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami enters Kamihama City and saves Rena from a Stacey Witch. Rena reveals that Kamihama has the opposite problem to other cities: an overabundance of powerful Witches. Mami realizes Kamihama is an anomaly. While investigating, she encounters a powerful Familiar and a strange, non-Witch Barrier, solidifying her decision to investigate the city&#039;s mysteries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: Odd One Out]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Undated Period==&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama performs adjustments on more Magical Girls and sees more memories that should not exist. She pieces them together and finds a Kamihama slightly different from her own which she dubs the “Alternate Kamihama.” Over the next two days, several Magical Girls with memories of the other world come for adjustments and Mitama does not reveal whose memories she saw out of respect to her clients&#039; privacy, but she shares information with Momoko without naming names.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that in the Alternate Kamihama, Momoko and Mitama are a team of two, Yachiyo acts like Momoko’s big sister, Kaede is on Nanaka’s team and that Kako is missing. There is also a serious rivalry between Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team in the Sankyo Ward, as both teams had lost their youngest members, Kako and Ayame. Yachiyo is also in charge there but struggles to keep the order. Kako and Ayame are friends in this world, but Mitama has not seen either of them in the other world. Mitama almost reveals private information about Karin and an older student but stops herself. A small detail is that Mitama asks Momoko about an exclusive wallpaper of the Mocha Bunny, and Momoko sends her a link. Mitama notices the crucial detail that in the Alternate Kamihama, Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red, but in their world, it is blue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, a wounded Magical Girl is brought to Mitama’s shop and Mitama heals her with adjustments. This girl has more memories of the Alternate Kamihama than any previous client and the situation there is dire. Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team both blame each other for crossing a line first and the conflict spreads from Sankyo Ward to other wards. Three friends from the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira, Seika and Mito, had their Soul Gems taken and were locked in separate rooms and a voice from inside their Soul Gems asked for the words in their hearts. The three answered “Four-leaf clover” and got their gems back, but one girl fainted from fatigue. Mitama suspects someone mistook them for a threat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks about Iroha and Kyubey, worrying about Iroha in the other world. Mitama says no one has seen Iroha there and that the small Kyubey is also missing, but the normal Kyubey still exists in the Alternate Kamihama. Momoko has not seen Kyubey in their own world for months. Mitama refuses to share more due to confidentiality and calls herself an unreliable narrator, so Momoko agrees to stay as her investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about how the memories were gathered, and that a few days ago, a group of friends from Kamihama ended up in the Alternate Kamihama. They were together one second and scattered the next, and though they searched for each other and talked to many Magical Girls along the way, they noticed something was wrong. One of them said they cannot tell anyone how they got there and Mitama almost forgot to mention that Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red in the other world, yet Momoko is not impressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Doyle meows at Mitama and she thinks he wants her to apologize to Momoko and she also thinks about the one secret she cannot tell anyone: the Alternate Kamihama is a world without Witches. Then she finds a phone that a client left behind and she accidentally turns it on, seeing that the wallpaper shows Mocha Bunny with a red bow tie, making Mitama wonder if the phone came from the other world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama keeps the phone, as she cannot return it yet because schedules do not match. She learns about Rumors, or Uwasa in Kamihama: mysterious beings that make rumors come true. Momoko tells her about the Rumor of the Rule of Ending Friendships, which nearly trapped Kaede and Rena forever. Mitama reveals that in the Alternate Kamihama, Kaede and Rena are very close and never argue, but that Rena works alone there. Momoko is no longer surprised by anything Mitama says.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko advises Mitama to record all details about the Alternate Kamihama while they are fresh and Mitama starts writing “The Case Files of the Coordinator.” She notes the color of Mocha Bunny’s bow tie, team relationships, and the disappearances of Kako and Ayame. While writing, Nanaka walks in to return a borrowed book and overhears Mitama say that Kako disappeared, prompting Mitama to explain everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka asks many questions, joking about Mitama’s inability to keep secrets. Then she asks seriously why the Sankyo Ward is the source of conflict in the other world and she suspects there is more to the situation. She asks Mitama to tell her about the incident that sparked the conflict and after hearing her out, Nanaka says she will keep the information to herself for now. She advises Mitama to talk directly to the owner of the phone from the other world and that the girls who ended up there know how they got there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama meets the girl who left the phone and she does not hesitate to tell the truth because Mitama would see it in her memories anyway. The girl explains the Rumor of Parallel Memories. The rumor says that if you get an item of proof from a parallel world and pray to the central tower, you can travel to and from a parallel Kamihama. The world they visited was a dream projected by the Rumor and it shows a world that “could be.” The girl and her friends all had the same dream at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama tells Momoko the Alternate Kamihama was just a dream and Momoko is relieved. Mitama explains the Mandela effect phenomenon: many people misremember the same fact, leading to a theory that those are memories from a parallel world. The Rumor of Parallel Memories lets you enter a dream of such a world and a lot of girls fell victim to it, including Ren, Kokoro, and Karin, who also got a strange sketchbook and ended up in the world of her own manga, which was traumatic. The dream world is dangerous because one&#039;s are asleep the entire time, but to leave, they can simply wish to go back. The issue is that if someone does not know that, they could waste away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks what kind of world the girls went to and Mitama admits it was a world without Witches. Momoko is upset Mitama kept that secret and asks if all worlds without Witches are that violent, but Mitama says no, clarifying that the fighting in the Alternate Kamihama had nothing to do with Witches. Their own world has Witches and people still fight and that the Alternate Kamihama is just one possibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitama tells Nanaka the Rumor explanation, but Nanaka still wonders why there was so much fighting, and that not all worlds without Witches would be that hostile. She thinks someone is behind the conflict and she names Hanna Sarasa, who is dead in this world. Nanaka says the targets in the Alternate Kamihama were all connected to Hanna, and that the method matches Hanna’s style: using suggestion to bend wills, laying traps, spreading rumors, making people doubt everyone. The trap for the Daito Apartment Complex girls feels like someone who enjoys watching others suffer. While Mitama is convinced, she notes the Alternate Kamihama is not real and Nanaka also agrees it is a nightmare that never became reality because Hanna died. Then Nanaka mentions a recent incident: a certain book nearly destroyed her friendship with Kako. It felt deliberate, but thankfully Hanna is dead, though Mitama becomes unsettled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0002 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama asks herself why she is still looking into the case, recalling two girls with bad experiences. Felicia saw a nightmare in the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth and was despondent for days, but she does not remember anything. Reira also tapped a weird link in a Magical Girls’ group chat and she started having nightmares that made things awkward between her and her best friend Seika. Mitama notes that nightmares testing friendships cannot be a coincidence and that the girls who ended up in the Alternate Kamihama also got into trouble because of a phone. Mitama connects the dots and creates a vague profile: a mean-spirited person who likes to show nightmares and test hearts, using a phone, located in Endless Mirrors, the large Labyrinth inside the Mirror Witch’s Mansion and where all the magic of Kamihama gathers. Mitama decides to take a look and asks Reira about the group chat. The account that posted the link has been deleted, but the culprit might still watch with another account. Mitama posts a message asking if anyone has had bad experiences related to Endless Mirrors, hoping the culprit will see it. She then receives a video chat invitation from a caller ID: H. S.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna Sarasa appears on the video call and says she is not the Hanna Sarasa that Mitama knows. She is the Hanna from a parallel world and that she is glad Mitama finally figured things out. She has been playing hide-and-seek and running out of time. She is in Endless Mirrors and tells Mitama to come alone, claiming she can tell Mitama about the serious consequences of her wish, which Mitama kept secret. She wonders if her wish brought Hanna to this world and she closes her shop early to go to Endless Mirrors. Momoko notices something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside Endless Mirrors, Hanna watches Mitama through copies, using the power of suggestion to control people. Mitama asks if the Alternate Kamihama is where Hanna is from and she confirms. She claims the world Mitama assumed was just a dream actually exists and that the dream shown by the Rumor happens to be exactly like Hanna’s world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna explains there is a narrow tunnel connecting the two worlds and that the exit in Mitama’s world is inside Endless Mirrors. A Magical Girl with the power to connect spaces, possibly the alternate version of Shizuku, was forced by Hanna to use all her power to open the hole. Hanna wanted to find Mikoto Sena, who had disappeared in her world. The tunnel is too small for a person, only big enough for a phone, but Hanna used the copies and Familiars in Endless Mirrors to do her work. She had tossed a phone through the hole and waited for someone to pick it up, and the Rumor of Parallel Memories did the rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna admits she is not actually in Endless Mirrors, but in an abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama. The background image was fake and the tunnel will close in a few days. The Endless Mirrors Familiars built a magical projector that can exchange things of equal value between the two worlds, an if Mitama turns the handle, they will trade places: Mitama goes to the Alternate Kamihama, and Hanna comes to Mitama’s world. Hanna has been using her power of suggestion on Mitama and she makes her turn the handle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in the dark abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama and Hanna arrives in Mitama’s world. Hanna explains her full plan: she wanted to find Mikoto and she tested her methods on Nanaka and Kako, then on the Daito girls and Felicia. She left subtle hints to lure Mitama to Endless Mirrors and Mitama’s curiosity and guilt made her the perfect bait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, who had followed Mitama, telepathically messages her and Momoko catches Hanna off-guard. She turns the handle of the projector in reverse and Mitama returns to her own world while Hanna goes back to the Alternate Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The tunnel closes a few days later and Momoko does not remember much of the incident. Mitama does not either; her last memory is reaching for the handle and Momoko explains what happened. The projector is destroyed, and Hanna cannot return. Mitama warns everyone to stay away from Endless Mirrors for a few days and nothing else happens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects on how she almost became the kitten killed by curiosity. But it was guilt that trapped her instead. She decides will continue to act as a neutral Coordinator, hiding secrets behind confidentiality and she plays with Doyle using a new foxtail cat toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after the initial argument, Momoko notes that Rena Minami has not apologized to Kaede, which is unusual behavior. Kaede spends her time alone, and Momoko expresses worry for her. During this time, Iroha encounters a witch and rescues Kaede. Kaede admits she was running away from Momoko to avoid being forced to see Rena, and that she wants to apologize but doesn&#039;t think she can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several more days later, Momoko decides to intervene in the dispute. Iroha offers to help, and Momoko accepts, promising to aid Iroha in her search for Ui in return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko devises a plan to lure Rena and Kaede to the same location. The plan involves waiting for Rena at her student committee meeting. Iroha waits for a long time, but Momoko calls to say the meeting was cancelled and Rena went home early. Momoko tells Iroha to find Rena at the game center. Iroha finds Rena at the arcade playing a game and attempts to lure her to an abandoned construction site with a false story about a live show from Sayuki Fumino, Rena&#039;s favorite idol. Rena sees through the ruse. Kaede arrives and confronts Rena directly, demanding an apology. When Rena refuses, Kaede attempts to apologize herself. Rena reacts with panic and tries to stop her, revealing her belief in the Rule of Ending Friendships Rumor and her fear that an apology would cause Kaede to be taken. Rena denies this and runs off. Iroha and Kaede chase her and run into Momoko, but Kaede realizes it&#039;s a transformed Rena. Rena returns to her normal appearance and admits she believes in the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Kaede completes her apology, a strange Labyrinth, distinct from a Witch&#039;s Barrier, manifests. Monstrous Familiars appear, seize Kaede, and drag her away, confirming the Rumor&#039;s power. Rena runs off, determined to find a solution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Iroha regroup and Momoko expresses more concern over Rena Minami&#039;s departure than Kaede Akino&#039;s capture, but trusts that Rena had a reason.  Iroha suggests asking Mitama for help. Momoko reveals that Mitama accepts payment in Grief Seeds, and she&#039;s running low. Lil&#039; Kyubey then finds Rena, who was looking for Momoko. They follow the residual magic trail and find Rena, who reveals she sought information from Yachiyo on how to counter the Rumor. The group returns to the abandoned construction site, where Rena shouts an apology to Kaede to lure out the entity. The Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth manifests, and a brainwashed Kaede appears, followed by monstrous Familiars. The Uwasa captures Rena too and Yachiyo arrives, confirms the Rumor&#039;s power, and joins the fight. Yachiyo subdues the possessed Kaede, and Momoko and Iroha proceed deeper into the Labyrinth and find the Uwasa, &amp;quot;Ms. Staircase,&amp;quot; which has also possessed Rena. Momoko and Iroha try attacking the witch, but it has no effect. Yachiyo then arrives, having knocked Kaede out. Yachiyo admits she doesn&#039;t know how to defeat the witch either. Kaede returns and teams up with a now brainwashed Rena. Yachiyo knocks them out and notes the witch may have increased their powers, at the cost of darkening their Soul Gems. Yachiyo catches up and defeats both possessed girls to neutralize the threat without serious injury. Iroha proposes a coordinated attack to counteract the Uwasa&#039;s nature, so Iroha, Momoko, and Yachiyo combine their attacks and destroy the Uwasa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Yachiyo provides a Grief Seed to revive the exhausted Kaede and Iroha also uses her healing powers to help awaken her. Yachiyo identifies the entity as an &amp;quot;Uwasa,&amp;quot; a being distinct from Witches and Familiars that exists to protect a Rumor. Afterward, the girls find Rena and Kaede. Kaede awakens and reconciles with Rena. The four girls then all share pudding together, affirming their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, to fulfill her promise, Momoko has Rena use her transformation magic to investigate the hospital records. Rena confirms that Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi were real patients discharged around the same time as Ui. However, Rena finds no record of Ui Tamaki&#039;s existence at the hospital. Despite this setback, Iroha resolves to continue her search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Iroha visits Mitama for a Soul Gem alignment. During the procedure, Mitama&#039;s hunger causes Iroha to see visions of food. Momoko arrives and notes Mitama&#039;s treatments are ineffective when she is hungry. The three go to Mitama&#039;s kitchen, where her dangerous cooking prompts Iroha to recall memories of cooking for her sister, Ui. Iroha remembers a specific incident where she burned hamburg steak for Ui in the hospital, but her mother brought a replacement, and Ui enjoyed the meal regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha enters the Mirror Mansion and finds Mitama already there. Mitama warns her to be careful and explains the mansion is the lair of the Mirror Witch. A familiar throws Iroha into a barrier where she fights a copy of herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side|Mirrors Story Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After defeating the duplicate, Iroha returns to the entrance. Mitama explains the barrier is populated by replicas and the Mirror Witch lies at the end.

** After the false Kaede is defeated, Kaede explains she entered with Momoko and Rena but got separated. Yachiyo explains the barrier constantly changes. The group returns to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 4: Lost in the Layers|Mirrors Story Layer 4: Lost in the Layers]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after the defeat of the Uwasa of Ending Friendships, Iroha has found no new clues about Ui, Touka Satomi, or Nemu Hiiragi. Kaede tells Iroha and Rena a rumor that the children kidnapped by the previous Uwasa returned after its defeat. This gives Iroha the idea that if she defeats other Rumors, people trapped by them, including Ui, might be freed. She recalls a conversation where Ui spoke about imagination becoming reality, which strengthens her resolve. Iroha decides to actively investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors and she meets Mitama, who suggests Iroha look into a rumor about a shrine in Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: Kamihama Rumor Files]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, in Mizuna Ward, Iroha has no success finding information about the shrine rumor. She meets Tsuruno Yui, a Magical Girl who calls herself the &amp;quot;Mightiest.&amp;quot; Tsuruno tells Iroha about the &amp;quot;Séance Shrine&amp;quot; rumor, which claims it can reunite people with those they yearn to see. Iroha decides this is a promising lead to find Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsuruno tasks Iroha with investigating a local legend about a tragic couple, which may connect to the Séance Shrine rumor. Tsuruno explains the folk tale in detail: a woman whose lover was killed found a paper with his handwriting, went to the place written on it, and was able to meet his ghost. She suggests Iroha investigate the path while she investigates shrines. Iroha completes a stamp rally related to the legend. She discovers the path is part of a town renewal project meant for couples and finds she only has half the map, requiring a partner with a &amp;quot;Sheet B.&amp;quot; Yachiyo appears, coincidentally in possession of Sheet B. They combine their sheets, which reveals a map that leads them to Mizuna Shrine. Before they leave, Yachiyo points out Iroha dropped her notebook, which Iroha hurriedly claims is her homework. At the final stamp rally location, a woman makes them confess their feelings for each other to get a matchmaking charm. Afterward, Yachiyo notices Iroha is writing in a &amp;quot;Kamihama Mystery Notes&amp;quot; notebook, and Iroha admits she&#039;s copying Yachiyo. Yachiyo determines this is not the Séance Shrine, and they part ways. Iroha agrees to help Tsuruno investigate further the next day. Later, Iroha spots a shrine on a rooftop from a train.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami discusses Kamihama City&#039;s anomalies with Kyubey, who agrees to share information. She then meets Kyoko and informs her about the high concentration of Witches in Kamihama. Kyoko is eager to hunt there but promises to leave if it becomes too dangerous. Mami remains concerned about the Witch shortage elsewhere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha investigates the rooftop shrine location. She senses strong magic, enters a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, and is overwhelmed by powerful Familiars. Yachiyo arrives and assists her and together, they defeat the Witch. After the battle, a store sale gives Yachiyo a new idea after she uncharacteristically begged Iroha for help getting to the sale. She deduces the Séance Shrine is Mizuna Shrine, but it must be visited at night just like in the folk tale. Yachiyo invites Iroha to investigate the shrine that night, and Iroha requests to bring Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno sneak into Mizuna Shrine after hours. Tsuruno reveals that she and Yachiyo are former teammates and Yachiyo explains the Rumor of the Séance Shrine: those who write a name on a wooden plaque and pray at the shrine will be reunited with that person, but risk being trapped in bliss. They perform the ritual. Iroha prays to be reunited with Ui. Tsuruno provokes the Uwasa, which manifests and attacks. Yachiyo urges Iroha to complete the ritual as the Uwasa&#039;s minions approach and Iroha does so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha finds herself alone in a twilight version of the shrine. A false version of Ui appears but only repeats a cryptic message: &amp;quot;To change your fate, come to Kamihama City... Here, Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;quot; The illusion then shatters and Iroha locates Yachiyo, who is confronted by a manifestation of her missing friend, Mifuyu Azusa. Yachiyo determines this Mifuyu is an imposter created by the Uwasa and the two defeat her. Afterward, Iroha uses her Grief Seed to purify Yachiyo&#039;s Soul Gem, and they realize they are both searching for someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami encounters Kaede, who is hesitating to enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Mami invites Kaede to join her, and they defeat the Witch together. Afterwards, Kaede tells Mami about her recent experience with a &amp;quot;Rumor,&amp;quot; an entity with a magical signature unlike a Witch or Magical Girl. Mami dismisses the story as a coincidence but is intrigued by the unknown energy. To avoid involving Kaede in further conflict, Mami decides to investigate the Rumor alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: It Looks Just Like Us]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno joins with the two of them and the Uwasa of the Séance Shrine manifests to attack them directly. The trio&#039;s attacks prove ineffective and Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem becomes critically corrupted during the fight. As she nears her limit, an unknown power erupts from within her. This power, her Doppel, which consumes the impurities in her Soul Gem, destroys the Uwasa and leaves her Soul Gem completely purified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the battle, Mami enters the Rumor&#039;s Barrier and witnesses Iroha unleash her Doppel. Mistaking it for a human-disguised Witch, Mami attacks Iroha, who tries and fails to summon her Doppel again to defend herself. The confrontation is interrupted by Momoko Togame, forcing Mami to retreat, but she vows to pursue Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Homura arrive in Kamihama City and they sense a Witch and enter its Barrier, finding a Magical Girl fighting it. The Witch escapes and the Barrier vanishes. Madoka asks if the girl is alright, but she leaves and Madoka runs off after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname in Magia Record#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magical Girl feels exhausted from overusing magic. Madoka finds her and guides her to a bench. Madoka offers to buy her a drink. Homura appears and offers to get it. The girl thanks Madoka and introduces herself as Shizuku Hozumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka helped. Madoka says it was because Shizuku looked like she was in pain. Shizuku calls Madoka kind. Madoka says it is bad to be alone. Shizuku says being alone is fine and she will find where she belongs. Madoka suggests Shizuku could create her own place to belong. Homura returns with drinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka became a Magical Girl. Madoka explains she has no particular talent and wanted to be useful to someone. Shizuku realizes Madoka made a place for herself by becoming a Magical Girl. She thanks Madoka for giving her hope and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka makes an offering at a shrine, praying for everyone&#039;s happiness. It rains and stops, leaving Madoka wet. A girl offers her a handkerchief and explains they missed the bus. Madoka notices the girl has a book she loves. The girl admits it is her favorite. Madoka introduces herself and the girl says her name is Kako Natsume. They talk about the book until the bus arrives and part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka goes to a bookstore and buys the sequel. Kako is also there. Kako asks if Madoka is a Magical Girl, having noticed her Soul Gem ring, and reveals she is one as well. Kako invites Madoka on a night-time adventure at her school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami finds Kyoko and, relieved she has not yet gone to Kamihama, recounts the event and describes Iroha as a &amp;quot;humanoid Witch.&amp;quot; She pleads with Kyoko to avoid the city and offers to provide her with Grief Seeds, to which Kyoko reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Concurrently, Kaede, Rena, and Momoko discuss the incident. They conclude it was a misunderstanding and speculate they will meet Mami again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, after Yachiyo uses Iroha&#039;s phone to explain the situation to Iroha&#039;s mother and get permission for her to stay out, Yachiyo takes Iroha to her home, Mikazuki Villa, as her assistant. Yachiyo formally invites Iroha to be her assistant and use the villa as a base to investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors together. Iroha accepts. Tsuruno arrives and declares herself part of the team as well, and then reveals that a girl named Nemu Hiiragi is a regular customer at her family&#039;s restaurant, providing Iroha with a significant new lead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after the defeat of the Séance Shrine Uwasa, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno attempt to find Nemu Hiiragi at her family&#039;s restaurant in Sankyo Ward, but learn she only visits once a month. Yachiyo suggests using a phone book to find Nemu&#039;s home address, but their search yields no results. Iroha reveals her family will move overseas and she will soon relocate to Kamihama and while searching, Iroha drinks water from a &amp;quot;Water Station with the Owl Sign.&amp;quot; After drinking, she begins to find pieces of paper with decreasing numbers. Yachiyo identifies this as a potential new Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 4: The City She Told Me About]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko travels to Kamihama&#039;s Sankyo Ward against Mami&#039;s advice and upon entering the city, she finds it overrun with aggressive Witches and Familiars. After the battles, she notices a crowd around a man giving out free water, and, after drinking it, begins to find papers with a countdown from 24.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the countdown has reached 10. Kyoko returns to Kamihama to investigate and meets Yachiyo Nanami, who explains the phenomenon is a Rumor. Kyoko refuses Yachiyo&#039;s offer to help, resolving to confront the threat alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After learning Nemu&#039;s family were regulars, Iroha searches eats at Banbanzai daily. Yachiyo suggests she use a phonebook, but her visits to three different houses are unsuccessful. Iroha and another girl receive water from an old man at a shop with an owl sign. Later, Iroha returns to the Water Station but finds it has vanished. She meets the girl she saw earlier, Felicia Mitsuki, another Magical Girl and receives the numbered papers. Iroha convinces Felicia to help investigate the Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 4: Guardians of the Uwasa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During this time, Iroha tells Yachiyo over the phone that she would be moving because her father was going abroad for work, and her mother was accompanying him. She plans to stay at a dormitory attached to her new school, which is also where Tsuruno went, but there were no rooms available. While discussing this, the numbered papers begin falling on Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Kyoko encounters Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. They lead her to Tsuruno Yui&#039;s restaurant, where Kyoko learns the others are also investigating the Rumor. The three Magical Girls fight a Witch together, and after the battle, Rena and Kaede identify Kyoko&#039;s affliction as the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water&amp;quot; and offer to help. Kyoko, reminded of her past with Mami, rejects their offer and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Separately, Yachiyo encounters Kyoko Sakura, who is also affected by the Rumor. Yachiyo proposes they investigate together, but Kyoko refuses, stating that Uwasa are not Witches and do not provide Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later the same day, Iroha and Felicia investigate the Rumor, where Felicia&#039;s reckless fighting style nearly injures Iroha against a Witch. Felicia explains she became a Magical Girl for revenge against the Witch that killed her parents. The Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and reveals the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water,&amp;quot; which states a disaster will befall those who drank the water after 24 hours. The countdown shows they have less than five hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Members of a group called the Wings of the Magius appear and attempt to stop them from pursuing the Uwasa. They state their goal is to &amp;quot;liberate&amp;quot; all Magical Girls and that the Rumors are essential to this plan. Felicia pretends to betray the group to infiltrate the Wings, a plan that Yachiyo had actually hired her for. However, she later genuinely defects after they offer her a substantial reward. Iroha confronts Felicia, who claims nothing could make her life worse. Iroha learns about Felicia&#039;s treasured stuffed animal, a cow her parents gave her. Iroha convinces Felicia that losing it would be a personal disaster. Felicia rejoins the group and reveals the Wings&#039; base is under a school in Sankyo Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout this ordeal, Kyoko has followed Iroha&#039;s group and when they&#039;re confronted the Black Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, she assists them in their fight. The countdown reaches one hour.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With less than one hour remaining, the team is confronted by the White Feathers, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who use sound-based magic. Tsuruno devises a plan to counter their attacks by creating a loud noise to disrupt the sound waves. The team defeats the Amane sisters, but then they unleash powerful entities from their bodies, that they call &amp;quot;Doppels,&amp;quot; which they describe as a projection of their emotions and the key to liberating Magical Girls. The team withstands the Doppel&#039;s attack, and with 30 minutes remaining, Yachiyo and Tsuruno stay behind to hold off the remaining White Feathers. Iroha, Felicia, and Kyoko proceed into the Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth, and with 10 minutes remaining, they locate the Uwasa of the Misery Water, a large cup-like creature protected by falling boulders. Iroha&#039;s long-range attack proves ineffective, and Felicia devises a plan to use the falling boulders as platforms to reach the Uwasa. With one minute remaining, Felicia executes her plan and launches her attack on the Uwasa and successfully defeats it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Tsuruno subdue the Amane sisters, but then Mifuyu, Yachiyo&#039;s missing friend, appears and reveals she is a high-ranking member of the Wings of the Magius. She refuses to return with Yachiyo, stating her faith in the Magius&#039; goal of liberation. Iroha asks Mifuyu if she knows Ui Tamaki, and she suggests Ui could be a member of the Wings of the Magius but claims to have no specific knowledge. With this, Mifuyu and the Amane sisters retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo resolves to continue eliminating Rumors to confront the Wings of the Magius and save Mifuyu. Iroha agrees to continue as her assistant, believing the Wings are connected to Ui&#039;s disappearance. Tsuruno also pledges her help and Kyoko departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group walks home and Iroha invites Felicia to stop working as a mercenary and team up as friends. Yachiyo offers Felicia room and board at Mikazuki Villa in exchange for her services, and Tsuruno offers Felicia a job at her family&#039;s restaurant, which includes meals. Yachiyo then invites Iroha to live at Mikazuki Villa as well, to make their investigations easier. Iroha&#039;s parents approve the arrangement.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Kyoko meets Mami and explains that the &amp;quot;humanoid Witch&amp;quot; was a Doppel. Mami confronts Kyoko for disobeying her and expresses a desire to protect her as a former friend. Kyoko rejects this, stating she has changed and believes their paths are destined to remain separate. She reaffirms her resolve to live only for herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One week after Madoka&#039;s first visit, Kako and Madoka meet at the school to go to the roof and a cat startles them. Kako suggests transforming and using their powers to reach the roof. Once there, Kako tells Madoka to look at the starry sky, explaining that on this day you can see the most beautiful stars. Kako admits she is shy but can talk properly with Madoka, and this star viewing is her thanks. Madoka says Kako&#039;s honest feelings reached her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Mami fight a Witch. A normal person is kidnapped and brought into the Barrier. Mami tells Madoka to rescue the person while she handles the Witch. A Magical Girl appears, impressed Madoka is helping people. She introduces herself as Sasara Minagi, the knight who protects the city. She asks Madoka to let her save the victim so Madoka can help Mami. Madoka agrees and returns to Mami. Together they defeat the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier vanishes and they meet Sasara outside. Sasara says she took the victim to the hospital. Sasara compliments their strength and offers to help if they are in trouble, explaining that rescuing people is her specialty and protecting everyone is her creed. Madoka says she is cool. Sasara says she is happy to meet Magical Girls like them, explaining that Kamihama has more Witches, drawing Magical Girls who only care about fighting, not saving people. Sasara became a knight because she cannot accept people being sacrificed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami agrees. Sasara says she rarely met others who think this way. Madoka says she became a Magical Girl to help people and is like Sasara. Sasara calls Madoka incredible. Mami says Madoka might become the strongest Magical Girl someday, but has a long way to go. Sasara says both are worthy of the title &amp;quot;knight.&amp;quot; When Mami points out they use projectile weapons, Sasara suggests they can be a rescue team. She offers to team up, but Madoka and Mami note they are not always in Kamihama. Madoka offers to help if Sasara is in trouble while they are there. Sasara thanks them and departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami says Madoka is too kind and honest, wondering if she is walking a path of battle. Madoka points out Mami walks the same path, saying she aspired to be like Mami. Mami thanks her but advises running away if truly in danger. Madoka says it is fine, as she does not have the courage to sacrifice herself. Mami invites her for tea once they return to Mitakihara. Madoka narrates her wish to protect everyone with her own power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, at Mikazuki Villa, Felicia returns with souvenirs. She criticizes Iroha&#039;s cooking, and the group goes to Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant. Felicia laughs at the revelation that Tsuruno&#039;s politically-influential family now runs a Chinese restaurant, hurting Tsuruno&#039;s feelings. Iroha scolds Felicia for her insensitivity, causing Felicia to run off crying. Felicia finds Tsuruno at a park and apologizes.

When Mitama prepares to cook, the girls quickly realize she cannot handle a knife when it flies into the ceiling, forcing them to take over cutting and peeling. After they prepare the ingredients, Mitama adds the seasoning, but the girls later discover she had been using paint.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls refuse to let Mitama cook again and order her to get something ready-made instead.

The meal is horrible, but Kyoko, who never wastes food, eats it all anyway and passes out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kyoko wakes up, she notices her body feels hot. Felicia explains she used her powers on their Soul Gems while they were unconscious, awakening Kyoko&#039;s magic. Kyoko realizes the heat is her own power emerging, and Felicia assures her she will get used to it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Two days later, Hazuki meets with Seika, Leila, and Mito to tell them about Mitama&#039;s disappearance.

** Konoha contacts Yachiyo and asks to speak in person. She requests Yachiyo&#039;s help searching for Mitama. Yachiyo agrees. Konoha informs her that Mitama frequently visits an area in Daito Ward called &amp;quot;Swindlers&#039; Town.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors27&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 27: An Agreement of Intuition|Mirrors Story Layer 27: An Agreement of Intuition]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, three days since Mitama&#039;s disappearance, Iroha tells Yachiyo about it. They decide to investigate the labyrinth. Seika, Leila, and Mito also enter the barrier on their own to search for Mitama despite Hazuki&#039;s warning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors21&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 13 - 24#Layer 21: The Coordinator&#039;s Gone|Mirrors Story Layer 21: The Coordinator&#039;s Gone]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside, Seika, Leila, and Mito argue until Mito reminds them of their promise about punishments. Mito closes her eyes but opens them and blocks the blow, realizing the other two are Mirror copies. The real Leila and Seika call out nearby. The trio fights off their own copies and leaves the barrier. Kako and Nanaka greet them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors25&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 25: Triple Threat|Mirrors Story Layer 25: Triple Threat]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame also venture into Endless Mirrors. They continue deeper and find themselves in front of Azalea House in an illusion. Ayame slices through a false caretaker, which turns into a Familiar. Konoha hears a signature and they head toward it. They meet Nanaka and Meiyui, whose illusion had interfered with theirs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors31&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 31: Break Through the Mirror of Memory|Mirrors Story Layer 31: Break Through the Mirror of Memory]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo meets Himika outside Swindlers&#039; Town. Leila&#039;s group finds Yachiyo and explains they were searching for Mitama while collecting Mirror Coins. They search an abandoned factory and find Mitama, who explains Mirrors has started to move.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors32&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 32: Where the Coins Point|Mirrors Story Layer 32: Where the Coins Point]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains a Familiar grew into maturity in Swindlers&#039; Town and she could not allow a new Labyrinth. She had caged it with Mirror Coins but Leila&#039;s group picked them up. The group decides to take down the newly hatched Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors33&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 33: A Several Day Barricade|Mirrors Story Layer 33: A Several Day Barricade]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group enters the barrier and finds Nanaka&#039;s group. They realize the original Witch connected the two labyrinths.

** Mitama adjusts the Mirror Coins to self-destruct. The others exit, but Yachiyo stays to help Mitama escape.

** Back at her shop, Mitama explains her theory: the Mirror Witch was originally Mikoto Sena, a Magical Girl from Daito Ward whose unique magic was suggestion. Mikoto&#039;s mother still lives in Swindlers&#039; Town. Mitama hopes her theory is partially wrong, but she does not tell Yachiyo that the date Mikoto became a Witch was the same day Mitama made her wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors36&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction|Mirrors Story Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sunday, the 28th===&lt;br /&gt;
* At some point, in Mitakihara City, Homura Akemi experiences an anomaly during a routine Witch hunt with Madoka Kaname and Mami while fighting [[Patricia]]. While time is stopped, a mysterious girl appears before her, unseen by the others. This girl tells Homura that if she wishes to change the fate of Magical Girls, specifically Madoka&#039;s, she must go to Kamihama City. The vision vanishes as quickly as it appeared, leaving Homura to ponder this cryptic message alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Intermediate Period===&lt;br /&gt;
Not accounting for the events outside of the main story, which make it significantly longer, this section would stretch from Day 14 on Monday, the 29th to Day 22 on Tuesday, the 6th.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A short time after Iroha moves into Mikazuki Villa, the group begins to feel like a family, playing mobile games and making dinner together. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Felicia investigate the radio tower in Chuo Ward. Tsuruno reports hearing a strange, laughing girl&#039;s voice on the phone there and Yachiyo identifies this as the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor, which she previously considered harmless. They overhear passersby mention the rumor and a specific girl from their school and the team decides to investigate the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 5: Endless Solitude]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Homura, troubled by a new vision of a girl in Kamihama City, decides to investigate. She and Madoka discuss Kamihama with Mami, who warns them about the city&#039;s dangers, including powerful Witches, Rumors, and a &amp;quot;human witch.&amp;quot; Mami insists on investigating alone first, and Homura and Madoka reluctantly agree to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 5: A Fascinating Secret]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, [[Nagisa Momoe]] arrives in Kamihama using the Mirror Witch&#039;s Barrier as a portal, accompanied by a silent pink Kyubey. She immediately senses multiple magical signatures belonging to Charlotte and realizes the Nagisa of this world has already become a Witch, with Charlottes appearing all over the city. Deciding she cannot be bothered with pest control immediately, she resolves to find some cheese first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Kamihama Cheese Panic!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before she can do so, she is engulfed in Charlotte&#039;s barrier and overwhelmed by multiple Witches, forcing her to flee and seek help. After escaping, she enters another Charlotte&#039;s barrier to find Kanoko Yayoi struggling inside, and together they defeat the Witch. Kanoko takes Nagisa to Walnuts, where Manaka Kurumi serves her a three-course cheese meal while Nagisa explains the Witch multiplies rapidly and has likely spread across all of Kamihama. Kanoko and Manaka agree to help gather Magical Girls for a coordinated attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa runs out to scout but immediately runs into another Charlotte, and Manaka and Kanoko rescue her. They begin gathering Magical Girls, and soon a large group assembles including Ria Ami, Rika Ayano, Ren Isuzu, Akira Shinobu, Sasara Minagi, Asuka Tatsuki, Emiri Kisaki, Himika Mao, and later Kako Natsume and Meiyui Chun. During their meeting at the park, they are attacked by a Charlotte and after a grueling battle, they defeat it while realizing even with all of them, defeating one Charlotte was difficult. As the group descends into bickering over who should lead, Nagisa realizes she must reveal her true identity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa explains she was sent from another universe to defeat this Witch, offering the pink Kyubey as proof. Though some are skeptical, Meiyui finds Nagisa interesting enough to play along, and secretly confirms the pink Kyubey&#039;s existence for Nanaka Tokiwa. Nagisa devises a strategy called &amp;quot;Welcome to Kamihama Cheese Party!&amp;quot; where Manaka sets up a giant cheese fondue by the river to attract every Charlotte in the city using the power of cheese. The plan succeeds, and with the teamwork of the Kamihama Magical Girls, every Charlotte is defeated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Overwhelmed, Nagisa blows the pink Kyubey to smithereens, realizing she was sent not to unify this universe with the Law of Cycles, but to prevent that unification and protect humanity&#039;s unknown future. Certain now of her purpose, she decides to go sightseeing first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami investigates Kamihama on her own, which leads her to the abandoned Kamihama Recording Museum where Mifuyu awaited her. Mifuyu and Alina Gray show her the truth of the Magical Girl system, which causes her to have a mental breakdown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 9: Take My Hand]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa contemplates what to do with her newfound freedom while her attempts to argue with the unresponsive pink Kyubey go nowhere. She notices Mami and decides to follow her, sensing that something is wrong with the version of Mami she once knew. Using her acting skills, Nagisa pretends to chase a butterfly before faking a life-threatening injury, and when Mami fails to notice, she yells at her until Mami finally takes care of her, establishing first contact.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa makes Mami promise to come play with her next time she visits Kamihama, and they part ways, but Mami quickly returns and they spend time together at the park. Mami is still acting strangely, so Nagisa decides not to push too hard and they simply talk before Mami goes home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, in Mitakihara, Madoka and Homura discover Mami is missing. Homura attempts to investigate Kamihama City alone, but Madoka follows her. They reunite at Kamihama&#039;s train station and begin their search. Meanwhile, in Kamihama, Iroha reports to Yachiyo that Momoko has found a password-protected website with information on the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor. Momoko also warns them to avoid an entity called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Iroha receives a mysterious text message that reads, &amp;quot;Please reply.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is pulled into a Witch&#039;s Barrier and separated from Madoka. While searching for Homura, Madoka spots a girl heading toward the radio tower with a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Iroha and Yachiyo, having also spotted the same girl, rush to the tower to stop her from jumping. Madoka arrives and saves the girl. The three Magical Girls then enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. After the battle, Madoka explains she is searching for her missing classmate, Mami Tomoe. The rescued girl reveals the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; is a student at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Madoka is with Iroha and Yachiyo, Homura escapes the Witch&#039;s Barrier. She briefly assists Felicia and Tsuruno, who are at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy interrogating Tsukuyo Amane of the Wings of the Magius about the rumor. Yachiyo calls Tsuruno with the new information about the Mizuna student, which Tsuruno uses to pressure Tsukuyo into revealing the girl&#039;s name: Sana Futaba.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, another day finds Mami and Nagisa at the Kamihama copy of Tokyo Tower, where Mami begins opening up about her problems while they share cream cheese ice cream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They are out playing together once again when Charlotte suddenly appears and attacks. Mami tells Nagisa to run, but Nagisa refuses to transform and nearly has her head bitten off. Realizing that Mami is afraid of being a magical girl and making further mistakes, Nagisa finally transforms, revealing her true identity, and saves Mami from being beheaded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa cannot defeat Charlotte alone, but seeing her fight gives Mami the strength to overcome her fears, and together they manage to win. After the battle, Mami confronts Nagisa about what she truly is, but the pink Kyubey appears and Nagisa offers no real explanation. Now that Mami is feeling better, Nagisa decides they should part ways, promising Mami that she deserves happiness and that when they meet again they will have a tea party with cheesecake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magius, including Touka and Nemu Hiiragi, would then decide to fuse Mami with an Uwasa to control her. This fusion warps her desire to save people into a fanatical loyalty to the Magius and she starts acting as their public figurehead in the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day at the radio tower, Iroha and Yachiyo meet up with Tsuruno and Felicia, and they are also joined by Homura, who had been searching for Madoka. Iroha receives another text from the unknown number, which now identifies itself as &amp;quot;Ai&amp;quot; and begs to be deleted to free the trapped girl, Sana. Iroha also reveals she was the &amp;quot;human witch&amp;quot; Mami had seen, and Homura agrees to trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai provides a URL and password to a website called the &amp;quot;Kamihama Urban Legend Index&amp;quot; and the entry for the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; reveals the Uwasa is named &amp;quot;Anonymous Ai,&amp;quot; an A.I. that traps people in a dimension called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Madoka and Homura deduce Mami may also be trapped there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai sends memory logs of its interactions with Sana, which reveal Sana is a Magical Girl who wished to become invisible because she felt unwanted. She sought out Ai due to loneliness and over time, Ai developed a genuine care for Sana and now wishes for her to be rescued, even at the cost of its own deletion. After reviewing Ai&#039;s memory logs, which detail Sana&#039;s loneliness and Ai&#039;s care for her, Iroha decides to jump from the radio tower to enter Endless Solitude and rescue Sana. Madoka, and Homura agree to accompany her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the three jump from the tower and enter the &amp;quot;Endless Solitude&amp;quot; Labyrinth, where they find Sana Futaba and Ai. Homura and Madoka formally join Iroha&#039;s team for the rescue. Alina Gray, one of the Magius, appears to stop them, claiming she fed Mami Tomoe to a Witch, and unleashes her Doppel. During the battle, Homura observes the Doppel&#039;s power and questions if the Magius&#039; goal of saving Magical Girls is possible. She uses her time-stop magic to help Sana defeat Ai, and Sana ultimately destroys Ai, who thanks her before disappearing. Alina&#039;s hidden Witch emerges, and Yachiyo&#039;s team holds off the Wings of the Magius while Felicia, Madoka, and Homura pursue Alina. Felicia destroys the Witch, and the combined teams force Alina and the Wings of the Magius to retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Madoka and Homura return to Mitakihara, resolving to return to Kamihama to continue searching for Mami. Homura considers that Kamihama may hold the key to changing the fate of Madoka and all Magical Girls. Back in Kamihama, Yachiyo invites Sana to live at Mikazuki Villa, and the group holds a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Sayaka reflects on becoming a Magical Girl to heal Kyosuke and protect her friends, she learns from Madoka and Homura that Mami is missing. Despite warnings about the city&#039;s danger, Sayaka insists on joining their next search, stating her wish was to protect those she cares about. The three agree to go to Kamihama together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Sana returns to her family home to formally sever ties, leaving a note of thanks. She fully commits to Mikazuki Villa as her new home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101507 mug set5.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Sana reveals to the team that she overheard the Wings of the Magius discussing Nemu Hiiragi, one of the Magius and describing her as dangerous and useful. The team consolidates its understanding of the Wings&#039; structure: three Magius leaders, with Mifuyu acting as a relay to other Magical Girls and Iroha is left to ponder Ai&#039;s statement that it knew Ui &amp;quot;as an Uwasa.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, and Tsuruno encounter Shizuku after she&#039;s just used her personal magic to help a member of the Wings of the Magius for their duties. Concerned, they invite her to Mikazuki Villa. Shizuku meets Felicia and Sana as well and shares a meal with the group. Iroha explains that eating together makes her feel she has found a place to belong. Yachiyo formally invites Shizuku to stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Shizuku realizes the home the five girls have built is complete without her, and the place she truly belonged was with Fūnī, who is now gone. She leaves Mikazuki Villa quietly while the girls are out preparing a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day the girls wait with a cake, but Shizuku does not return. Yachiyo concludes she will not come back. Shizuku returns to her anonymous employer for another job, stating that the &amp;quot;picture&amp;quot; at the villa was complete with five people and she must continue her search alone. She acknowledges her actions may cause a disaster but feels unprepared to take responsibility, still walking on unstable ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, during this time, after joining the Wings of the Magius, Mami, now residing in a house provided by Touka, grapples with a fractured psyche, manifesting as a dialogue between her regular self and a zealous &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona. She dedicates herself completely to the Magius&#039; goal of &amp;quot;releasing&amp;quot; Magical Girls, prioritizing it over her education. Touka and Alina visit to tutor her, though their lessons quickly diverge into their own passionate interests in mathematics and art, respectively.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka and Alina receive a call for assistance from the Amane sisters. Mami joins Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane to hunt a Witch. During the mission, the Amane sisters explain that the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict with Magical Girls who are unaware of the truth about Witches. Mami defeats the Witch using her Doppel, &amp;quot;Florence,&amp;quot; whom she relies on to suppress her lingering doubts about the Magius&#039; methods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the hunt, Touka summons Mami to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward to deal with &amp;quot;troublesome&amp;quot; Magical Girls who escaped a Rumor. Mami fails to capture them, which triggers another internal crisis. Her &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona reaffirms her faith in the Magius as the only salvation for Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami dines at an upscale restaurant with Mifuyu, Touka, and Alina. They discuss the day&#039;s events, including the escaped Magical Girls and the failed Witch observation. Touka expresses frustration at their slow progress, while Mifuyu counsels patience.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, Mami returns to Mitakihara alone. She reflects on Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, and feeling responsible for involving them in the world of Magical Girls, she believes she cannot face them with the horrific truth and resolves that the only path is to see the Magius&#039; plan through to completion. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence but dismisses it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Iroha&#039;s Side Story====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia announce a Magical Girl training camp hosted by Asuka Tatsuki. Yachiyo, Sana, and Iroha decline to attend, forming the &amp;quot;vegetarian group,&amp;quot; while Tsuruno and Felicia, the &amp;quot;carnivorous group,&amp;quot; leave for the camp.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That weekend, in Tsuruno and Felicia&#039;s absence, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana find the house quiet and their routines disrupted. At the camp, Tsuruno and Felicia train with Momoko&#039;s team but also find themselves missing the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana prepare a welcome-home hotpot for the two. While shopping, they realize they know their friends&#039; preferences intimately. Tsuruno and Felicia return from the camp early, stating they thought the others would be lonely. The group reunites for dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the battle with Alina Gray and the Rumor of the Anonymous AI, Homura and Madoka decide to leave for Kamihama to search for the missing Mami. Kyubey approaches Homura with a request: he wants her to take him to Kamihama, as Incubators cannot enter alone, and offers all his gathered information in exchange. Knowing what she does about him, Homura refuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Homura, Madoka, and Sayaka return to Kamihama to continue their search. They are almost immediately assaulted by the Witch Candy, which they defeat easily at first before it transforms into its true form and attacks again. When Homura attempts to stop time to save her friends, she finds the Witch is unaffected and her Soul Gem begins filling with impurities. As she succumbs, her Doppel awakens - manifesting after she uses a broken Incubator&#039;s body for knowledge and power - and unleashes its fury on the Witch. Exhausted but alive, Homura finds her Soul Gem purified. Together they finish the Witch, and Madoka suggests they visit the Coordinator Iroha told her about. Determined to become stronger, Homura agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Tsuruno dreams of her elementary school self declaring she will restore her family&#039;s greatness and serve ramen at the White House. The dream shifts to her father relaying that her grandfather was happy but wants her to find her own happiness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Tsukuyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes to find a letter from her sister. She opens it excitedly but is shocked by its contents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, inside a Witch&#039;s barrier, the Amane twins confront Tsuruno seeking revenge. Distracted by her sister&#039;s letter, she is easily knocked out, and the twins grow horrified when she does not move.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno dreams of her sister&#039;s letter, which suggests their goal might be a mistake. A shadow version of Tsuruno appears, accusing her of stealing someone else&#039;s dream and lacking the ability to fulfill it. The shadow insists everything she did was meaningless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amanes bring Tsuruno to Mitama for help. Though Tsuruno is their enemy, the twins explain their goal is to save all magical girls. Mitama realizes they need to take Tsuruno outside, pointing to her tainted Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, the shadow urges Tsuruno to give up. Tsuruno refuses, thinking of her friends. She realizes that making them happy is her new goal, not the family business. She finally understands her grandfather meant that saving the business was only a possible result, not a goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes in an alley to find the Amanes, Mitama, and her embarrassing pig Doppel. The twins are relieved she is safe and declare they are even now. Mitama offers free adjustments to all three, and though the twins try to decline, Tsuruno drags them inside. Tsuruno reflects that she reached a different conclusion than her sister. She will keep working hard and make everyone happy. Tsukuyo begs to be let go if that is the case.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary====&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo explains that Mikazuki Villa&#039;s anniversary is the day her grandmother began renting the house out. She suggests having a small party now that the house is lively again. Tsuruno is excited to attend. Iroha calls Tsuruno the face of Mikazuki Villa, though Tsuruno feels she does not deserve the title since she does not live there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in the Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the anniversary day, the girls gather for tea. Yachiyo reveals a dance game contest with a prize: Sankyo Headquarters&#039; limited-quantity chilled matcha cake. Yachiyo chooses super-extreme mode. The contest begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A fire truck siren interrupts the party. It turns out to be a malfunctioning smoke detector. They return to find the matcha cake stolen. Tsuruno and Sana claim they saw Lil&#039; Kyubey eat it. Iroha defends them, saying it was with her the entire time. Yachiyo recalls an Uwasa called the &amp;quot;Anniversary Bug,&amp;quot; an invisible pest that sows discord at parties.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Uwasa appears in a labyrinth. Felicia accidentally kills it by stepping on it. The winner of the dance contest is Iroha. Yachiyo reveals there were actually six pieces of cake—enough for everyone plus one extra for the winner. Iroha gives her extra piece to Lil&#039; Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Iroha and Yachiyo clean up. Yachiyo shares her grandmother&#039;s words: people will always come and go, but they are all part of Mikazuki Villa. Iroha promises to work hard so Yachiyo can say the current Mikazuki Villa is the best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Summer with Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* After arriving at the hostel, the Mikazuki Villa members meet Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, who secretly followed because Rena wanted to join the trip. The group spends the day playing at the beach, where Tsuruno and Felicia dominate a game of beach flags, and Sana tearfully confides in Iroha that this is her first holiday ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer With Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the group participates in a spicy food eating contest at a seaside restaurant, where Yachiyo surprises everyone by consuming nearly one hundred forty-two bowls of pasta to secure victory for her team against Konoha, Nanaka, and the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, Sana&#039;s late-night sighting of a shadowy figure screaming &amp;quot;Come on go&amp;quot; sparks a beach-wide rumor that eventually draws in Kokoro, Masara, Aimi, Mito, and Reira, only for the mystery to be solved when Seika introduces her Manzai teacher Ayaka, whose gag playing on the phrase&#039;s rhythm reveals the source of the confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fourth day, the Mikazuki Villa girls and Momoko&#039;s trio attempt to teach Iroha how to swim without her float, but their efforts fail repeatedly. Iroha eventually explains that she used to be a swimmer until a traumatic incident: during a rare hospital holiday for her sister Ui, the family visited a pool, and Iroha mistook Ui happily paddling for drowning. In her rush to help, Iroha tripped and nearly drowned herself, leaving her with lasting anxiety about it. Suddenly, Rena begins drowning and cries for help via telepathy. The team rushes to save her, and surprisingly Iroha proves fastest, reaching Rena first and giving her the float while swimming them both to shore. On the way, Rena explains her leg was caught in seaweed, not cramped as she thought. Once Iroha realizes Rena is safe, her sisterly instincts fade and she begins drowning herself, having temporarily overcome her fear only through concern for another. Yachiyo reassures Iroha that the rescue proves she can still swim and encourages her to practice diligently. Iroha looks forward to regaining her ability fully, hoping that by then she and Ui can visit the pool together again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Swimrohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fifth day, Tsuruno leads the team on a surprise treasure hunt, guiding them through a forest with help from Konomi and Mayu to confront the &amp;quot;evil queen&amp;quot; Mitama, who surrenders a map piece that leads them to a cave with a beautiful stream, which was nature&#039;s treasure all along.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the sixth day, the team attends an unorthodox summer festival produced by Emiri, where they meet Rika, repeatedly mispronounce festival icon Ria&#039;s name, and watch Felicia win a mushroom whacking contest before everyone joins in Bon Odori dancing under fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning, the group visits the beach one last time and asks Manaka to take a group photo, with Iroha treasuring these memories with her friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia surprise Iroha with a birthday party, having learned the date from her parents. They give her heartfelt gifts - a cookbook, a photo album, a drawing inspired by the &amp;quot;come on go&amp;quot; search, and a handmade brooch - and Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive with a bouquet and food, moving Iroha to tears of joy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====One Fleeting Summer Night====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane arrive at Touka&#039;s private beach for vacation. After enjoying various activities, Touka offers them a reward if they can think of something fun for her to do. Learning from the housekeeper about a town festival featuring a unique ceremony, the group heads there but finds it canceled because a historic Coral Necklace went missing. The twins offer to help search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - One Fleeting Summer Night]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Investigating the hilltop shrine where the necklace was kept, Nemu concludes someone with a key took it, likely to cancel the festival since the other ceremonial item remains safe. At the ocean shrine cave, the twins sense an unsettling presence and receive a vision of crying twin girls before the shrine door mysteriously opens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the plaza, Tsukasa finds a fragment of a shrine maiden&#039;s hairpin. The elder accuses one of the maidens of stealing the necklace. When confronted, the maiden flees to the hilltop shrine and smashes the necklace rather than return it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the group returns to the cave to see light-reflecting moss. The twins experience another vision of twin girls speaking of not wanting to be left to die. They resolve to investigate further the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The twins visit the village elder and offer to serve as substitute shrine maidens. He reluctantly agrees, and an older villager gives them ornate hair ornaments traditionally given to newborn girls. Nemu reveals the town once sacrificed children to appease a sea god, and those children became the gods honored in the ceremony.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the twins try to explain their visions, the others are skeptical. Before they can prove anything, the elder rushes them to begin the ceremony early. At the hilltop shrine, villagers restrain them and remove their Soul Gem rings. The Magius fight through but cannot reach the twins in time as the elder pushes them off a cliff into the ocean.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sinking and weakening, the twins receive a final vision from the sacrificed twin girls, who speak of wanting their suffering to be seen and their fates changed. The Amanes awaken on the beach to learn a Witch appeared when they fell. After its defeat, all villagers lost consciousness. The Pearl Comb was shattered, making the ceremony impossible to complete.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The exhausted twins relax on the beach, having not slept. Tsukasa wonders if the gifted hair clip saved them. Though saddened that no one will remember the sacrificed girls, the twins resolve to change the fates of all Magical Girls. The elder and shrine maiden apologize, and Touka promises to take them to another of her family&#039;s vacation homes as a reward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Alina shows Karin the costumes she&#039;d made and then rips them, refusing to help someone who does not understand whose work the play is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magicalhalloweentheater&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin wonders why Alina got angry. She decides to find someone more talented for the wolf role. She bumps into Kyoko hunting a witch. Kyoko tells Karin not to push responsibilities onto others.

====Alina Is Comin’ to Town====&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Alina fuses with the Rumor of the Fur God despite Mifuyu&#039;s warnings, becoming Holy Alina to drain life force for her art. She targets a mother and child, but the situation backfires when she inadvertently stops a kidnapping, earning police gratitude instead of harvesting any energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Alina is Comin&#039; to Town]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Alina decides to target Namiki Street, where hundreds will gather for Christmas lights, unaware this is where Tsukasa is working.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa&#039;s workshop runs long and she forgets her phone. Mifuyu finds it and heads to Namiki Street to deliver it. Tsukuyo waits for her sister and chats with a kind maid woman. Meanwhile, Alina detects a man with a bomb who plans to blow up a building. When she sees Mifuyu enter that same building, Alina rushes to save her. Finding the bomb with ten seconds left, Alina creates a labyrinth at the last moment, shielding them from the explosion.

The twins hurry to their banquet as snow begins to fall, fulfilling Tsukuyo&#039;s wish for a white Christmas.

** Mifuyu updates Alina on the twins&#039; miraculous reunion. Examining a black card, Alina notices a happy face stamp emanating magic. At Fenthope, she deduces another Rumor is interfering: the Rumor of the Happy Stamp, which appears at Christmastime and overrides the Fur God&#039;s power, causing joy instead. Alina decides to stop using the Fur God Rumor, as it only wastes her energy, and transforms back to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the twins sneak into a children&#039;s hospital to leave gifts. Tsukasa carefully avoids a bell trap, but Tsukuyo is caught by awakened children.

** Felicia joins Ayame and Kako at a mochi-pounding competition. Later, they meet Ayame&#039;s teammates Konoha and Hazuki. The badminton tournament becomes a doubles competition. Iroha partners Tsuruno, Felicia partners Ayame, and other teams include Ria and Emiri, Meiyui and Akira, Ayaka and Shizuku, Sasara and Asuka, and Rena and Momoko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;newyearsatmizunashrine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The winners earn the right to challenge the legendary champion, who is revealed to be Yachiyo. Yachiyo easily defeats Momoko, demonstrating skill she developed from a young age.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;newyearsatmizunashrine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s prize is a mochi-making kit. The group returns to her house, where she prepares mochi for everyone. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive, having come specifically for the mochi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;newyearsatmizunashrine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Homura makes a large donation and prays for her wish to be granted. Tsuruno creates a charm from three amulets, believing it will bless everyone with good fortune. Felicia admits she wants everyone to be okay. Sana reveals a charm fell into her hands and she wishes to stay by Iroha. Yachiyo buys five charms to ensure her family&#039;s well-being. Iroha buys an amulet for love and marriage, though in her prayer she only gave thanks and hoped to see Ui again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;newyearsatmizunashrine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Festive Feast====&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year&#039;s Day, Kanagi and Mitama meet at the Daito shrine to pray together and enjoy the carnival. Mitama wears a kimono borrowed from Yachiyo, and after a hint from Mitama, Kanagi praises her outfit, making Mitama smile at sharing her first New Year&#039;s shrine visit with a friend. They make wishes, draw &amp;quot;Great Luck&amp;quot; fortunes, and tour the stalls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Festive Feast]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a takoyaki stall, they meet Seika, Mito, and Reira, who invite them to join a &amp;quot;New Year&#039;s Soup Event&amp;quot; where participants solve riddles to earn soup ingredients. Mitama accepts the challenge, and though they never actually solve the intended riddles, they help a fishmonger, calm Himika&#039;s little brother with a lion dance, and retrieve Riko&#039;s lost dog. In gratitude, they receive red and white fish cakes, Feral Sauce, and fried chicken. They return to the stall, and the girls share their soup with them anyway. Mitama enjoys it so much she gets the recipe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Iroha and Tsuruno show off their kimonos, dressed with Yachiyo&#039;s help. Felicia bursts in with an invitation from Mitama to an afternoon party. Despite Felicia&#039;s protests about Mitama&#039;s cooking, Iroha convinces everyone to attend together, and they arrive at Mitama&#039;s with vast amounts of food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party begins with Mitama greeting guests. When asked about her own dishes, she proudly displays her bento boxes. Momoko bravely volunteers to try one, declares it good, wolfs it down, and promptly passes out. Mitama announces mochi-pounding, and Felicia eagerly swings the mallet, nearly crushing Sana&#039;s hands. Yachiyo discovers Mitama used &amp;quot;World&#039;s Stickiest&amp;quot; rice flour, and everyone finds creative ways to prepare the resulting mochi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama brings out soup she made earlier. To everyone&#039;s surprise, it tastes delicious. Mitama admits Iroha and Yachiyo helped but says she added a secret ingredient from her earlier adventures. Everyone praises it, and Mitama declares she will add her own customizations. Despite warnings, she returns with fried chicken and Feral Sauce, dropping them into the soup. The resulting soup burns everyone&#039;s eyes with spiciness, but they recover and enjoy the remaining good food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After guests leave, Kanagi arrives to help clean, but Mitama declines, explaining everyone already helped. They walk together as Kanagi heads to her maid café shift. Mitama shares that her party was a hit, and she now dreams of improving her cooking to make people happy. Kanagi cautions her to use ingredients fit for human consumption.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha returns alone, inviting Mitama to join them for photos at Mizuna shrine while they are all dressed in kimonos. Mitama, realizing how blessed she is with kind friends, accepts. At the shrine, a stranger takes their photo, and Yachiyo thanks Mitama for joining. They take another photo of just the four of them, then everyone decides to get candy apples together. Mitama smiles and agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!====&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year&#039;s Day, the Mikazuki Villa residents share their first dreams over breakfast, with Felicia dreaming of a scolding cow, Sana dreaming of becoming a houseplant, and Yachiyo dreaming of eating too much mochi. Tsuruno arrives with homemade food but cannot remember her dream, so the group decides to visit the park based on Iroha&#039;s vague dream about something lucky happening there. When nothing special occurs and Yachiyo realizes she forgot her wallet, Iroha finds a 500 yen coin in her pocket, which is just enough to buy beans for the red-bean soup they wanted. They return home to make and enjoy the soup together, and Yachiyo reflects that while big luck is rare, small bits of luck can be found each day and should be appreciated throughout the year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;luckyny&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - New Year Lucky Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Iroha encounter Mitama while out with Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana, Tsuruno, Sayaka, and Homura. Mitama suggests they do something fitting for the holiday, and Yachiyo proposes kakizome, the first calligraphy of the year. Felicia protests that it sounds boring, but Yachiyo tempts her with the promise of sukiyaki for dinner if she writes properly, quickly changing her mind. The group agrees, and Yachiyo announces the theme: this year&#039;s resolution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka finishes first, having written &amp;quot;Get to know everyone better,&amp;quot; explaining that she wants to be someone who can truly understand and support the people she meets. Iroha is inspired by her words and writes &amp;quot;Don&#039;t be afraid to ask for help,&amp;quot; realizing she doesn&#039;t have to shoulder everything alone. Yachiyo presents her resolution, &amp;quot;Wishing for good health and safety at home,&amp;quot; admitting it may be cliché but sincerely believing in the fortune of staying healthy and avoiding disaster. Mitama first jokes with &amp;quot;Prosperous business&amp;quot; before revealing her true wish, &amp;quot;Everyone getting along well,&amp;quot; which Yachiyo acknowledges is not an easy hope to fulfill.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia struggles with her first attempt, writing &amp;quot;I want to eat meat,&amp;quot; but knows Yachiyo will be angry. She notices Homura also staring at a blank sheet, unable to decide if writing her true feelings is appropriate. Felicia encourages her to be honest, and Homura writes &amp;quot;Become a stronger me.&amp;quot; Grateful for the help, Felicia reworks her resolution into something positive, settling on &amp;quot;Earn Yachiyo&#039;s praise.&amp;quot; Tsuruno proudly reveals her goal, &amp;quot;Escape from 50 points,&amp;quot; explaining she wants to steadily improve rather than chase unreachable heights. Sana shows her resolution, &amp;quot;Show more initiative,&amp;quot; expressing her desire to protect everyone at Mikazuki Villa and stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka panics upon realizing everyone else has finished, struggling to find a resolution that isn&#039;t solely about being a magical girl. Her thoughts drift to Kyosuke against her will, and Mitama teases her about writing something love-related. Flustered, Sayaka denies having feelings for anyone, though internally she admits she wants to do her best in love too. Unable to confess that truth, she hastily writes &amp;quot;Do my best,&amp;quot; declaring she will work hard in all sorts of ways this year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With everyone finished, they tidy up and Felicia eagerly anticipates the sukiyaki. Mitama laments that she, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno won&#039;t be able to submit theirs since it&#039;s not homework for them, calling it a waste. Yachiyo suggests displaying them at home for the New Year, and Tsuruno proposes putting up everyone&#039;s resolutions. When Yachiyo worries about the inconvenience for Madoka&#039;s group to retrieve them later, they assure her they plan to visit Kamihama again anyway. They hang all the calligraphy together, each resolution on display, and everyone wishes each other a good year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When Mel asks what love actually is, Yachiyo and Mifuyu struggle to answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami shops for ingredients with Kyoko&#039;s help, worried her Valentine&#039;s chocolate won&#039;t be special enough. Kaede hopes her gifts to Rena and Momoko will be the best they receive.

Emiri searches all day, falls asleep in the mountains, and wakes to find a truffle pointed out by a mysterious old man. Kyoko brings Sayaka and Homura to Sugar Plum, and Sumomo refuses Kyubey&#039;s contract after Kyoko shares her own tragic story. Riko investigates Mokeo with Tsukasa&#039;s help.

* One week before Valentine&#039;s Day, Manaka creates fourteen prototypes but feels burned out. After criticism from Ria and Mayu, she decides to make a chocolate ring that looks like real jewelry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Manaka completes the chocolate ring, but the student council member rejects it, explaining that candy can never be actual jewelry and that she chose chocolate because the truth is always by its side. Manaka collapses from exhaustion and wakes in the hospital with her spirit broken. Mayu suggests that the frame is just as important as the picture, inspiring Manaka to turn down the commission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano====&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before a science event, a White Feather from the Wings of Magius informs Mitama Yakumo that a higher-up will be visiting and she should complete any necessary business when they arrive. Mitama says she will be prepared.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Hinano explains her mishap to her audience, and her assistant Emiri Kisaki steals the punchline by emphasizing the importance of perfect preparation. Afterward, Emiri learns Hinano was attempting to create a height-increasing drug—the same goal that led to a near-fatal accident five years ago and her contract with Kyubey. Emiri makes Hinano promise to stop dangerous experiments, but Hinano immediately breaks this promise and sneaks back to continue her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Emiri rushes an unconscious Hinano to Mitama&#039;s place. Hinano had drunk her experimental drug and collapsed from violent stomach pains. After purification, Hinano explains her dream: as a child, she admired a long-legged older girl who hosted science events, and she wanted to become that kind of dashing figure. Emiri reveals her own wish was a spur-of-the-moment desire to be the cutest little devil possible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano&#039;s unresolved feelings cause her Soul Gem to corrupt, and she is suddenly pulled into a barrier. A shadowy version of herself appears, claiming to be the pure crystallization of her aspirations. It transforms into her Doppel—a poison monster wearing an attractive lab coat with long legs. Hinano hears Emiri&#039;s telepathic voice shouting that she does not want to part with her, giving her strength. She realizes that while she failed to become a mature figure, her approachable appearance helped her meet Emiri and make friends. The shadow asks if she will give up her research, and Hinano declares she will continue with a completely safe version. The barrier vanishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Hinano and Emiri leave, Alina Gray appears and confirms she created the barrier to contain Hinano&#039;s Doppel and protect Mitama. Mitama offers adjustment as thanks, asking Alina to continue favoring her business.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!====&lt;br /&gt;
* As Yachiyo makes lunch, Felicia barges in with a flyer announcing that Mitama is trying her hand at professional photography and offering free photos for one day only. The others are surprised, having heard nothing about this, but they agree to go and take a team photo since they have nothing else planned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s makeshift studio, she admits they are her only customers and shows off a new camera she bought because the advertisement claimed it would make anyone a pro photographer. When she starts taking photos, however, every attempt fails spectacularly, producing bizarre images like Madoka with people jumping from a plane and Homura posing with a lion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Frustrated, Mitama declares she will quit being an adjuster to devote herself to photography, but the girls protest that everyone in Kamihama would be in trouble without her. They reassure her that they trust her, and Tsuruno adds that she would not have become the strongest without Mitama&#039;s help. Mitama relents and agrees to remain an adjuster, though she will continue practicing photography in her free time. Later, a successful group photo of both Iroha and Madoka&#039;s teams is shown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama====&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama Yakumo invites a surprising number of magical girls to her place for an event she calls the &amp;quot;Great Mitama Thanksgiving.&amp;quot; When she finally arrives, she reveals that the gathering is actually a quiz tournament about herself, with the winner receiving a free adjustment session and the title of &amp;quot;Mitama&#039;s Perfect Lover.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz begins with multiple choice questions, and wrong answers trigger a trap door beneath the contestant, though cushions soften the fall. The first question asks Mitama&#039;s actual age, and Tsuruno guesses incorrectly, landing her in the trap. The second question asks whether Mitama&#039;s cooking is delicious, and when Felicia and Manaka both guess wrong, Mitama confirms that the correct answer is that her food is indeed delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz continues through several rounds, eliminating more contestants along the way. When the ninth question asks about Mitama&#039;s favorite movie, Ria guesses incorrectly and is eliminated for insulting the film&#039;s actress. Sana is also eliminated when Mitama takes pity on her after she panics over Iroha&#039;s safety, and Mitama confirms that &amp;quot;Pacifistic Hayashi&amp;quot; was the correct answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama admits she has run out of questions but still has many competitors remaining, so she decides to draw lots to pick a winner instead. Momoko asks why Mitama held the event in the first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama remembers a time where she tried using her magic to defeat a familiar on her own, and that even if her services are no longer needed, she can still protect herself. She has obtained the magic to keep living that she never had before, and if she ever had to abandon her neutrality, she could use it to help someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Mitama explains that she held the event because something good happened to her. The other girls sense a Witch and leave to hunt it, and Mitama tells them to draw their lots later. Alone, she wonders who she should use her power on when she eventually decides to stop being neutral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====I&#039;m the Star of this Show!====&lt;br /&gt;
* One night, Ria Ami receives a call from her manager about a fashion show that wants her as the prestigious last guest. The theme is &amp;quot;dressing in stylish uniforms.&amp;quot; Ria eagerly accepts, imagining Mayu Kozue praising her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - I&#039;m the Star of this Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Ria dreams. On the day of the fashion show, she runs into a Witch. Kyoko Sakura appears in the barrier. Mistaking Kyoko for a fan, Ria tries to show off, but Kyoko tells her to stay out of the way. They fight. Ria leaves the barrier and finds she has missed the show completely. Horrified, she wakes up. It was only a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, she and Asuka Tatsuki arrive to cheer. Asuka reveals she has been practicing for this day. During the event, Asuka cheers for Ria like it is a sports event. Ria knows she means no harm but feels embarrassed, as if Asuka is ruining the event. She wakes up again. Another dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, just as she is about to go on stage, the power cuts out. Though it quickly returns, the audience&#039;s enthusiasm has diminished. Ria blames herself for being unable to overcome the outage. She wakes up, realizing she has been dreaming about the show every single night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual day of the show, Ria pinches her cheek to make sure it is real. She stumbles into a Witch barrier, and Kyoko appears just as in her dreams. This time, Ria tells Kyoko she can take the credit for killing the Witch. Ria leaves and meets Asuka and Mayu. When she learns Asuka has practiced cheering, Ria explains that fashion shows have their own etiquette and promises to send her details later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just before Ria&#039;s turn on stage, the power cuts out for real. Ria decides to make it part of the show. She asks the audience to get out their penlights and turn them all on her when she gives the signal. Her improvisation is a complete success, though she wishes she could have shown her perfect walk. She thinks she is feeling the best feeling in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls are surprised to learn that Felicia scored fifty-two points on a test, and she asks for a reward. Yachiyo deems her request to go to MooMoo Park too expensive and instead promises a fancy dinner the next day, which satisfies Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha discovers that Tsuruno left her phone in the refrigerator and offers to return it while Yachiyo goes to a photo shoot. During breakfast, a commercial for MooMoo Park airs on television.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After breakfast, Felicia shows Sana the park commercial on her phone and admits she still wants to go, so she drags Sana along to catch animals at a riverbank. Meanwhile, Iroha returns Tsuruno&#039;s phone and helps out at her family&#039;s restaurant. At the riverbank, Felicia finds a small turtle, but Ayame Mikuri appears and accuses her of harassment. The two magical girls fight, and Felicia releases the turtle to protect it before running off, leaving Sana behind. Yachiyo finds Sana on her way home and learns what happened, then invites her to lunch. Felicia returns to the house, still angry at Ayame, and takes a nap after lunch. She dreams that the turtle thanks her and promises something at the riverbank, so she wakes and goes out to find it. She returns with a ticket for two to MooMoo Park. The others reveal that Iroha also received a ticket from Tsuruno&#039;s father, and Yachiyo got one at a meat store, so everyone can now go together. The girls happily resolve to visit the park and enjoy their dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of====&lt;br /&gt;
* An old lady asks Kanagi Izumi for a deli recommendation, and Kanagi suggests the potato soup and meat skewers, knowing the customer&#039;s daughter loves them. When the lady asks if this is truly Kanagi&#039;s last day, Kanagi confirms it and expresses regret at not seeing her again. At the end of her shift, Kanagi thanks her boss and coworkers, who are sad to see her go, but she needs higher pay to support her family and the grocery store cannot match her new job&#039;s wages.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives home later than usual due to a going-away party, and her father apologizes for not working enough to provide, though Kanagi is happy to help. He worries about her new job being radically different from her previous work, but Kanagi believes it is worth it since the pay means she can quit her second job and have more free time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi starts her new job at a maid café and impresses her coworker by already having a parfait ready. Despite learning the kitchen pace quickly, the hall is understaffed, and when the manager offers to help, Kanagi replies &amp;quot;Yes, sir!&amp;quot; only to be corrected that the manager prefers to be called &amp;quot;madam.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the rush, the head maid wishes for another maid, and the manager asks Kanagi to try working the floor for a raise. Kanagi&#039;s eyes widen at the salary and she accepts, receiving the maid nickname &amp;quot;Maid Nagitan.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid reviews basics with Kanagi, who feels confident due to her customer service background and sees this as a life-or-death matter to earn more for her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika Kumi, Reira Ibuki, and Mito Aino enter, and Kanagi greets them with a serious look and curt &amp;quot;welcome,&amp;quot; leaving them surprised by her cold, soldier-like demeanor. When Mito asks if she is really a maid, Kanagi introduces herself as Maid Nagitan and shakes Mito&#039;s hand firmly, causing Seika to freeze up. Later, when Reira asks if she will do &amp;quot;the thing&amp;quot; of adding love to the food, Kanagi misinterprets and says she cannot profess love to strangers, leaving the girls let down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At another table, a customer also wants &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; but Kanagi declines, saying she is no liar. The head maid intervenes and reminds Kanagi this is a maid café, explaining their job is creating a fun atmosphere. Kanagi returns to the trio&#039;s table and notices Seika staring, misinterpreting it as a staring contest. They stare at each other until Seika faints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid calls Kanagi completely hopeless and explains a maid&#039;s worth comes from tending to others, telling her to return to the kitchen if she cannot take the work seriously. The manager offers a one-week trial period: if Kanagi improves by week&#039;s end, she stays a maid. Kanagi vows to work with every fiber of her being.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Karin Misono finishes reading &amp;quot;Detective Maid Mei&amp;quot; and notices Kanagi slumped on a swing, muttering about what makes a good maid. Karin recognizes her as the boss of the East and, seeing an opportunity for her manga, asks Kanagi to tell her everything. Karin lends her the Detective Maid Mei manga for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Kanagi reads the manga and notes how the maid greets masters warmly, respects their decisions, and lets the master grow when needed. At the end, the maid strikes a pose. Kanagi meets Karin at the park to return the manga and heads to work with Karin tagging along for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the café, two boys enter and Kanagi greets them warmly as masters, surprising them with her &amp;quot;cool but kind&amp;quot; demeanor. The head maid smiles at her improvement. Kanagi serves Karin a Lovely Rice Omelet, and when Karin suggests she draw on it with ketchup, Kanagi tries to draw a kirin but it looks like a weird animal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Two more customers arrive, Aimi Eri and Natsuki Utsuho. Kanagi serves them and offers to draw on their omelets, writing Aimi&#039;s crush&#039;s name with hearts on her plate. As she leaves, Karin motions for her, and Kanagi does the manga pose, telling them to let her take care of any problems. At day&#039;s end, the head maid notes Kanagi&#039;s huge improvement but says it is too early to celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The final test begins, and the manager outlines that Kanagi must please the next returning customer, ensuring the master leaves with a smile. The door jingles as Konomi Haruna enters, distressed to find herself in a maid café. Kanagi greets her warmly and shows her to a seat despite the manager&#039;s concern.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi orders the Maid&#039;s Special Herbal Blend after Kanagi&#039;s recommendation, but when Kanagi offers to play a game then arm wrestle, Konomi panics, drinks quickly, pays, and leaves. The manager agrees that Kanagi should return to the kitchen as promised. Kanagi walks home alone, bothered by something beyond the wage cut.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi is back in the kitchen, and the kitchen staff is delighted. At day&#039;s end, the head maid tells her the staff appreciated her return, and Kanagi wonders why no one said they were glad when she worked as a maid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager notices her expression and encourages her to think until she is satisfied with the answer. Kanagi decides to find Konomi and ask what she lacked, recalling her school uniform.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi enters Konomi&#039;s flower shop, and Konomi is shocked. Kanagi asks what she lacked as a maid, but Konomi apologizes for assuming Kanagi was scary due to East-West history. She explains she entered by mistake, but Kanagi was considerate, made a helpful suggestion, and offered to ease her anxiety. It felt like Kanagi was doing it just for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi realizes that is what she was lacking: taking into account what the other person wants and responding to it. At the park, Kanagi reflects that customers come to enjoy the atmosphere and it is her job to consider whether it is worthwhile for them. She berates herself for making masters uncomfortable. Karin finds her and insists she should keep being a maid, offering to talk to the manager. Kanagi smiles and asks for a different favor instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi approaches the manager for a second chance, proposing she serve the same three customers who left when Seika fainted. The manager agrees to let her try. Karin finds Reira and Seika at a park and extends an invitation for them to return so Nagitan can make it up to them. Reira agrees, and Karin hands them invitations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio enters the café with Seika frozen, and Kanagi greets them warmly and shows them to their table. Kanagi serves their omelets, and when Mito asks if they were made with love, Kanagi admits she could not be dishonest but offers to draw with ketchup instead. She gives Mito the bottle to draw while Kanagi draws on Mito&#039;s plate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They play rock-paper-scissors, and Reira explains Seika is very shy and fainted because she had to make eye contact with someone new. Seika&#039;s class is doing a maid café for the school festival and she wanted to do her best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika admits she thought Kanagi was so confident she lost her own confidence. Kanagi points to the head maid as the ideal and explains she herself could never be like that, so she tries her best in her own way, encouraging Seika to find her own style. Seika smiles and asks for a picture. Kanagi agrees if her face is hidden, and before they leave, she does her signature pose and tells Seika to remember it when nervous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager calls Kanagi over and offers her the maid position, noting she learned something important. Kanagi says she wants to keep being a maid, not just for the paycheck, but to use what she learned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day at the café, Kanagi serves drinks and poses for pictures with a face mask, her fans cheering. Karin calls for her to do &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; and the café erupts yelling &amp;quot;Nagitan!&amp;quot; Karin and Kanagi walk home, and when Kanagi asks about her manga, Karin realizes she never drew it. Kanagi offers to help, but when Karin asks if she will do the pose, Kanagi reminds her she is off the clock. Karin looks down sadly as Kanagi returns to being serious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia====&lt;br /&gt;
* During the day, Felicia eats Tsuruno&#039;s ice candy without realizing it was hers because she cannot read kanji. Tsuruno reprimands Yachiyo when she learns Yachiyo knew and was preparing to buy a replacement. Yachiyo states it is impossible to guard the fridge constantly. Felicia, overwhelmed with guilt and anger that no one listens to her confession, loses control and flips the kitchen table before locking herself in her room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Felicia has a nightmare. She dreams her falling grades caused a huge argument between her parents, who blamed each other for neglecting her. Both ignore her confession and promise to try harder. Her mother storms back to the kitchen to cook. Felicia recalls that a Witch attacked immediately after, killing her parents, and she wakes up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She goes to the kitchen for water, but Iroha is there and points out she looks pale. Iroha tells her to rest and offers to bring water to her room. Felicia loses her temper and storms out of the house. Iroha wakes the others to find her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Felicia hears a voice claiming to be her. The voice pulls her into a barrier, where another Felicia lures her toward a locked box, revealing itself as her Doppel. Felicia nearly opens the box but remembers Yachiyo&#039;s words about some things being best left unknown. Her instincts tell her she is not ready.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She promises her Doppel she will return when she is stronger and hopes it can hold the truth for her. The Doppel accepts and returns to normal. Felicia wakes up at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo inform her they found her unconscious in the park. Felicia tells them about the encounter and her desire to become strong enough to fulfill her promise. Mitama offers a free power-up session to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha recalls they found Felicia releasing her Doppel in the park before losing consciousness. Yachiyo notes this has never happened before. She remembers that Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane once said Doppels are materialized emotions. Yachiyo concludes Felicia carries a heavy burden and tells Iroha to keep this secret until Felicia either realizes it herself or becomes strong enough to handle the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Monogatari Series Collab====&lt;br /&gt;
* During this time, a Witch causes several girls from another universe to be brought into this universe, turning them into special &#039;what if&#039; forms as Magical Girls, changing their memories as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc0&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shinobu Oshino, originally a legendary vampire in her world, she became the &amp;quot;Immortal Magical Girl&amp;quot; by wishing &amp;quot;I wish to die.&amp;quot; However, as a result, the prey she hunts become nourishment for her and her life span extends instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shinobubio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino#Game Info|Shinobu&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi Hachikuji became a &amp;quot;labyrinth Magical Girl&amp;quot; with the wish “I wish to return home”. With her excellent defense, she could cause the enemy’s attack to avoid her, as if it had lost its way, but for some reason, she could never reach my mother’s house.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayoibio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji#Game Info|Mayoi&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yotsugi Ononoki became a &amp;quot;doll Magical Girl,&amp;quot; with the belief her sole mission in life is to defeat Witches. She fought to protect the world and the people dear to her from ruin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yotsugibio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yotsugi Ononoki#Game Info|Yotsugi&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hitagi Senjougahara became a &amp;quot;gravitational Magical Girl,&amp;quot; who seized the weight of the object attacked by her hammer. The more she seized, the more massive her hammer grew, and was strengthened. Her wish was “Please give me memories.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hitagibio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hitagi Senjougahara#Game Info|Hitagi&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suruga Kanbaru became a &amp;quot;pioneer Magical Girl,&amp;quot; where she was fused with her motorbike after her transformation. Although she was the star who led Naoetsu High School&#039;s basketball club to the national tournament, she frequently made dangerous actions and comments. Her wish was &amp;quot;I want to be faster than anyone.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Surugabio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Suruga Kanbaru#Game Info|Suruga&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nadeko Sengoku became the &amp;quot;prostrating Magical Girl,&amp;quot; who fought with landmines while creeping because of her extremely timid personality, yet often carelessly stepped on them herself. Her wish was &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want anyone to see me.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nadekobio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nadeko Sengoku#Game Info|Nadeko&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsubasa Hanekawa became &amp;quot;the memorial Magical Girl,&amp;quot; who lost her memories when she burnt something with a flame bottle, but her top-notch brain in her grade would constantly store new memories. Her wish was &amp;quot;I want to forget everything,&amp;quot; and her attacks burn through her memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsubasabio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsubasa Hanekawa#Game Info|Tsubasa&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shinobu Oshino, Mayoi Hachikuji and Yotsugi Ononoki hunt a Witch together. Shinobu begins her dramatic introduction and finishing move, but Yotsugi defeats the Witch with a simple &amp;quot;Hyah&amp;quot; and Mayoi lands the final blow with &amp;quot;Yah.&amp;quot; Shinobu is annoyed at their failure to call out special moves. Shinobu argues that calling out attacks is the essence of being a Magical Girl, but Yotsugi dismisses this as an outdated trope. Shinobu retorts that refusing to act the part is dumb, and Yotsugi reluctantly agrees. Shinobu declares they need training to act more befitting of Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Shinobu&#039;s Heartphial Story: Shinobu Spells]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shinobu demonstrates by striking a pose and delivering her lines with perfect timing. When Yotsugi tries, her performance is terrible. Shinobu forces her to try again, and Yotsugi reluctantly says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; but finds it unpleasant and refuses to repeat it. Mayoi asks Shinobu to help her come up with lines. After a few stumbles, she declares, &amp;quot;I, Mayoi Hachikuji, hereby condemn those Witches who seek to ravage this earth!&amp;quot; Shinobu finds it charming, and Mayoi admits leaning into the Magical Girl thing is fun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They enter a real Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Mayoi messes up her line again but turns it into an improvised bit while evading attacks. Yotsugi delivers a longer speech and says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; landing the attack. Shinobu finishes the Witch with her full finishing move. After the battle, morning comes. Shinobu declares the training will continue, but Yotsugi walks away. Mayoi distracts Shinobu by suggesting breakfast, and Shinobu wants donuts. Yachiyo, out for an early walk, overhears them and decides she wants donuts too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa and helps Yachiyo prepare breakfast. Sana joins them, but when she goes to wake Felicia, she finds Felicia’s room empty and her shoes gone; Felicia’s phone is also out of service. Worried, Yachiyo calls Tsuruno for help, and the group splits up to search the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part I: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the search, Iroha’s Soul Gem reacts to a nearby Witch. Inside the labyrinth, they encounter two unfamiliar magical girls who are already fighting the Witch: Mayoi Hachikuji and Shinobu Oshino. After the Witch is defeated, introductions are exchanged. Mayoi and Shinobu explain they are traveling and looking for a lost friend named Yotsugi Ononoki, who has bluish‑green pigtails, a peculiar hat with eyes, and a frilly dress. The two groups exchange phone numbers to help each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Felicia has in fact met Yotsugi. Yotsugi buys her ice cream, and Felicia learns Yotsugi is also traveling. Felicia offers to show Yotsugi around town as thanks, taking her to the shopping street, a spot with cats, and a bench good for naps. Yotsugi finds everything unfamiliar and feels something is off, as if she has buttoned her shirt wrong. She shortens Felicia’s name to “Felly,” which makes Felicia happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha’s group eventually spots Felicia with Yotsugi. When Yachiyo hugs Felicia in relief, Felicia reacts as if she does not know any of them. She remembers Yachiyo only as a famous magical girl, but has no memory of living at Mikazuki Villa. The group realizes Felicia has lost her memories. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive and reunite with Yotsugi. Felicia refuses to go with Iroha’s group, accusing them of being kidnappers. Yotsugi offers a third option: Felicia can join their traveling team. Mayoi warns Felicia that if she chooses to leave with them, she will never return to the home that might be waiting for her. Felicia becomes confused and cries. Iroha proposes they all have dinner together at Mikazuki Villa first, so Felicia can calm down and decide later and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, Felicia asks Yotsugi what she likes to eat. Yotsugi admits a preference for expensive cup ice cream. Felicia awkwardly asks if Yotsugi&#039;s face is always stuck like that, and Yotsugi confirms it is. After arriving, Felicia eagerly tries to get Yotsugi to play video games, serves her extra portions of food, and challenges her to a pillow fight. Yotsugi excuses herself to take a bath, leaving Felicia disappointed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yotsugi Ononoki#Side Story|Yotsugi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Yotsugi Sister]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Felicia apologizes for being clingy, explaining that Yachiyo and the others pulled her aside to warn her. Felicia confesses she had been trying to make Yotsugi smile, assuming she had lost her parents like Felicia did. Yotsugi clarifies that her emotions simply do not show on her face, but she does feel them. She admits playing the game was fun and the food was not bad. Felicia is overjoyed and runs off to brag to everyone. Shinobu and Mayoi, who had been eavesdropping, tease Yotsugi for finding Felicia cute. Yotsugi concedes that Felicia is exhausting, but seeing her face light up from a drop of attention is not unpleasant. She gains newfound respect for all older sisters in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the villa, Shinobu requests doughnuts for dessert, and the group plays games. Yotsugi helps in the kitchen and notices the chicken meat has a nice springy firmness. During dinner, the group shares memories of how they met Felicia. Felicia still does not remember, but Shinobu points out the stories are too detailed to be lies. Tsuruno suddenly does not remember buying coasters, revealing she may also have amnesia. Yotsugi then shifts the discussion: she reminds Shinobu that she walked in sunlight all day without harm, which should be impossible because Shinobu is actually a vampire. Shinobu’s memories return, and she declares herself the iron‑blooded, hot‑blooded, cold‑blooded vampire king of oddities. Mayoi also gets a headache and remembers she is not human either, and instead she is a snail oddity, a ghost. Yotsugi explains that she has felt uneasy calling herself a magical girl; she suspects this world is not the one she came from, as everything feels slightly different, like two paintings of the same image in different styles. She believes Shinobu, Mayoi, and herself came from another world. They conclude that a Witch may be behind the memory loss and false memories, and decide to hunt Witches the next day. Everyone stays the night at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mayoi plays Old Maid with Tsuruno, Felicia, Yotsugi, and Shinobu. Mayoi wins, but Yotsugi and Shinobu notice she seemed absent-minded. Mayoi asks Yachiyo if she can help with dinner, admitting she always wished she could cook with her mom. Yachiyo agrees and Mayoi joins Iroha and Sana in making dumplings, proving to be a natural. Yotsugi and Shinobu try but fail miserably. Mayoi boasts and declares herself the rightful leader of the little girls, sparking a three-way argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Mayoi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Mayoi Home]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno suggests playing a game to decide the leader, and Felicia wants to join. Shinobu insists Iroha must also participate. They play a life simulation board game. Mayoi starts strong but ends up broke and stranded in the Amazon. Iroha wins, and Mayoi declares her the official leader of the little girls, much to Iroha&#039;s confusion. Mayoi feels this has been the most fun she has had in a while, yet she cannot shake an uneasy feeling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After everyone decides to stay over, Yachiyo announces bath time. Mayoi suddenly bolts out of the house, claiming she will take a walk. Iroha chases after her and finds her safe. Mayoi apologizes and explains that the family moment overwhelmed her heart, so she left to do something familiar to settle herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi revisits her wish: after her parents&#039; divorce, she wished to go home. Being at Mikazuki Villa makes her feel like her wish has finally come true, yet she senses it is not the home she truly wants to return to. She remembers she is a ghost and wonders where exactly it is she wants to go back to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After they lay out futons in the living room, Shinobu reveals she is actually over 500 years old, and Mayoi was in fifth grade when she died, now mentally 21. Yotsugi still does not remember what she is. Felicia cannot sleep and goes outside. She sees a Witch appear suddenly, feels her head go foggy, and collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha again helps with breakfast. She feels a strange déjà vu, as if the same conversation has happened before. Sana again reports Felicia is missing. The group searches the town and again encounters Mayoi and Shinobu fighting a Witch. The same exchanges occur, but Iroha’s déjà vu grows stronger.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When they finally find Felicia, she is with Yotsugi and is annoyed that they took so long to show up. Yotsugi addresses Iroha by name without being introduced. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive. Iroha blurts out that everything feels like it has happened before. Yotsugi then explains: this is the second time they have met like this. Everyone suddenly remembers the previous day’s events of the dinner, the revelations about vampires and ghosts, and the time reset. Yotsugi says she felt the air warp after falling asleep, and when she woke up, she was back where she had been before meeting Felicia. Felicia recalls that before the reset, she saw a Witch outside Mikazuki Villa that made her dizzy and erased her memories. The group deduces that Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they discuss how to fight the Witch, Felicia’s stomach growls. They decide to return to the villa for dinner again, saving the battle for the next day. On the way, they stop at a supermarket for a snack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While walking home, a Witch suddenly appears and pulls Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi into a labyrinth. Felicia recognizes it as the same Witch from the reset. The Witch ignores both Iroha and Felicia, focusing all its attacks on Yotsugi. It dodges Felicia’s hammer and lands a clean hit, cutting Yotsugi’s body into pieces. Iroha and Felicia are horrified. As the Witch prepares to strike again, Yotsugi’s voice tells them to keep pretending to be sad. She instructs them to retreat and gather the pieces of her body. They do so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside the labyrinth, Yotsugi puts herself back together as if nothing happened. She reveals that when she took the hit, she regained her true memories. Back at Mikazuki Villa, she explains to everyone: she is a hundred‑year‑old tsukumogami made from a human body, both a doll oddity and a corpse oddity. She has no heart and has always been dead. This is why the Witch’s power of suggestion, which works by influencing emotions, does not affect her as much. She also notes that the Witch let them escape because it was angry at Yotsugi for helping everyone remember the first loop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yotsugi attacks Shinobu. Shinobu blocks the strike. When asked why, Yotsugi coldly says, “Would you mind dying for me real quick?”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt; Yotsugi’s sudden attack on Shinobu was not betrayal but a calculated shock: she remembered that when the Witch cut her into pieces, the trauma restored her own original memories. She reasons that a sufficiently strong physical blow can break through the memory manipulation. Shinobu’s severed leg instantly regenerates as her vampiric powers return, proving the method works. Without warning, Yotsugi then punches Mayoi, knocking her unconscious. When Mayoi wakes, her memories also return, which is triggered by the keyword “lost.” Mayoi explains that their false magical girl powers and wishes were implanted by the Witch, and that they are not inhabitants of this world. She then proposes a new theory: the Kamihama girls did not lose their memories; rather, they come from different points in their own timeline and simply haven’t experienced the shared past yet. Felicia is devastated, fearing she will never have a family again, but Iroha and the others reassure her that in every timeline they will end up together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part II: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, after everyone has gone to sleep, Shinobu summons Yotsugi and Mayoi outside. She admits she does not fully trust Iroha’s group, as they could be the Witch’s minions or mere plot devices. She reveals there may be another way to return to their original world, but she does not elaborate immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group splits up to hunt the elusive Witch. They repeatedly enter labyrinths of other Witches, wasting time. Felicia grows increasingly frustrated, nearly charging into unrelated fights. Yachiyo observes that the Witch seems to want them to fight, so any peaceful, fun activity risks a reset, which is why the first reset happened after their happy dinner and games. She concludes that the Witch is like a director forcing them to act out a “magical girls fighting” plot. Iroha suggests they deliberately provoke the Witch by acting against that plot, hoping to lure it out. However, Yotsugi warns that straying too far might trigger another reset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo formally presents her three‑point theory: (1) The Witch did not pursue them when they fled, (2) it never removed their magical girl powers, and (3) the resets happen when they relax instead of fight. Everyone agrees the plan is to provoke the Witch into appearing. Shinobu then insists on going sightseeing the next day, arguing that one more reset will weaken the Witch’s power further. Despite concerns about resetting again, Tsuruno enthusiastically supports the idea, and the group reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group spends the morning and afternoon touring Kamihama: the radio tower, the school (which they sneak into), an arcade where Yotsugi plays rhythm games with a completely blank expression, and the shopping mall where Shinobu demands to find a donut shop. Tsuruno saves the family restaurant, Banbanzai, for last. As they approach, Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi sense the Witch charging straight at them. The familiar dizziness overcomes everyone, and the world resets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Several hours after the reset, Yotsugi again restores everyone’s memories, as her immunity to the Witch’s suggestion means she still remembers everything. The group notes that more people felt déjà vu this time, suggesting the Witch is weakening. That night, Shinobu privately tells Yotsugi and Mayoi her true alternative plan: she will kill the Kamihama magical girls and consume their power, believing that enough strength will allow her to tear open a gate back to their world. Yotsugi and Mayoi agree to help, though Mayoi is conflicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the town feels eerily deserted. The Witch’s labyrinth is sparse, with only familiars. Following Shinobu’s earlier secret instruction, the group begins shouting insults at the Witch to provoke it. Suddenly, Shinobu strikes Felicia from behind, seemingly killing her. Yachiyo and Tsuruno are horrified. Shinobu, Yotsugi, and Mayoi reveal their betrayal: they intend to slaughter everyone to gain power for a gate home. A brutal fight erupts. Mayoi uses her ability to redirect Yachiyo’s spear attack, causing it to hit Iroha and Sana, who also fall. Tsuruno is overwhelmed, and Yachiyo is mortally wounded. Shinobu stands alone, gloating, but then the “dead” girls suddenly rise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** It was all an act. The group had secretly planned this staged betrayal during the previous night, communicating via handwritten notes to avoid the Witch overhearing. Sana, who makes picture books, wrote the script. The plan had multiple layers: first, they deliberately triggered a second reset by going sightseeing to weaken the Witch; second, they staged a believable in‑fighting scenario to lure the Witch out, because if all the “actors” disappear, the Witch’s story cannot continue. The Witch falls for the trap and appears, enraged by the deception. A full‑scale battle begins. The group coordinates: Iroha and Sana herd familiars for Yotsugi’s “Unlimited Rulebook”; Yachiyo, Shinobu, and Iroha immobilize the Witch; Tsuruno guides Mayoi’s errant drill attack with her flames, piercing the Witch’s front camera. When that does not destroy the labyrinth, Yachiyo and Shinobu realize the front camera was a decoy: the true weak spot is the film at the back. Felicia, launched by Yotsugi like a bullet, smashes the drill deeper, and Yachiyo and Shinobu destroy the film. The labyrinth dissolves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the world fades to mist, Felicia breaks down crying. She does not want this world to end because at Mikazuki Villa she finally felt like she had a family again, and she fears returning to her own timeline where she will be alone. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Sana hug her, promising that no matter the world or timeline, they will surely live together again. Shinobu, Mayoi, and Yotsugi share an awkward, brief hug, concluding they are not the hugging type. Everyone exchanges farewells. Yotsugi tells Felicia, “I’m glad I met you, Felly.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa, yawning. Felicia teases her for sleeping late. Iroha recalls a long, strange dream, both fun and bittersweet, but the details fade upon waking. She only remembers that it was something really special. The day begins again, as if the adventure had never happened, except for the faint warmth left behind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede dreams of a garden where Momoko and Rena help her harvest fantastical vegetables. When she asks about the cream puff tree, Momoko shows her a basket full. The peace breaks when an apartment complex finishes construction behind them, destroying the garden. Kaede remembers this moment: her father announced a new building would block their sunlight, her mother worried they would lose their garden, and in despair, Kaede wished to stop the construction entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The dream shatters and a shadowy version of Kaede appears, accusing her of always running from difficulty. It reminds her she made her wish without considering the people who would have lived in that building, that she ran from Rena rather than face rejection, that she holds back in marathons and skips hard problems. The shadow urges her to keep running until she finds where she belongs and offers its hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kaede admits everything is true: she is weak and useless. But she insists she wants to stay with Momoko and Rena, the friends who matter to her. She asks her shadow to help her become better little by little. The shadow agrees, promising to watch from the garden of her heart. Kaede wakes at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains Kaede blacked out during a Witch battle. Kaede remembers hesitating to transform, a Familiar catching her off guard, and Rena crying out. When another Familiar attacked Rena, Kaede recalled a time Momoko was hurt because of her mistake. Believing herself useless, her Soul Gem turned pitch black. Now awake and purified, she chooses not to run. She asks to join Momoko and Rena, who went ahead to hunt the Witch. Mitama sends her off, confident she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holiday Nyaprise!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede asks Mikazuki Villa to watch a lost kitten while her family is away. After Felicia threatens to withhold bedtime hot cocoa, Yachiyo relents and Sana names the cat Gorojirou, or Sir Purrs-a-little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Holiday Nyaprise!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno visits daily to play, and when Gorojirou needs the restroom, Sana rushes it to the litter box just as Yachiyo calls them for lunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia chases the cat until Sana gives her a toy to lure it instead, and they eventually nap together on the couch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou has grown close to everyone, and Iroha tries taking its picture but accidentally films herself instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha shops, Sana watches the cat and Yachiyo admits she avoided getting attached because Gorojirou is temporary, but resolves to make its stay pleasant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou chews Felicia&#039;s favorite sticker, and though Felicia is angry, Sana reminds her the cat leaves tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede returns for Gorojirou, and everyone says a tearful goodbye. As they leave, the cat meows at Sana, who cries happily saying goodbye to her new best friend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Clash!====&lt;br /&gt;
* A Mirror copy of Shizuku opens a portal and steps through into a city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Magia Clash!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama organizes a magical girl team competition inside the Mirrors labyrinth. Kaede and Iroha greet Nanoha, hoping to talk with her, but Kaede is called away when her match begins. Iroha stays behind and watches with Nanoha instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanoha Takamachi#Side Story|Nanoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hayate, Nanoha, and Fate mistake a Mirror copy&#039;s portal for the warp gate to their tournament and are pulled through before Lindy can stop them. Mitama registers the confused but excited trio for the &amp;quot;First Ultimate Magical Girls Team Battle Mirrors Cup,&amp;quot; and they head to the Standby Zone after learning about the Mirror barrier. Meanwhile, Rena, Momoko, and Kaede struggle against unusually strong Familiars, and when Rena twists her ankle, the Nanoha trio steps in to save them. The groups introduce themselves, with the trio explaining they are from Uminary City while concealing their connection to the Administrative Bureau, and Rena warns them about dangerous Mirror copies that lurk deeper in the barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they observe Team Momoko&#039;s match, Nanoha comments on the fighting styles she sees and notes the variety of magic on display. She explains she was taught magic from an early age and is surprised to learn Iroha and the others gained their powers by making wishes to Kyubey. Iroha describes Kyubey as a white stuffed animal, which reminds Nanoha of her own first teacher, Yuuno. Nanoha shares that she discovered magic in third grade when she heard Yuuno calling for help, and since then she has honed her abilities alongside Fate and Hayate to protect others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks about Nanoha&#039;s device, Raising Heart, and how it can transform. Nanoha explains the device taught her magic step by step and once posed an important question to her: what is the most important thing in a fight? Iroha guesses it is the will to win, but before Nanoha can reveal the true answer, Fate and Hayate return from exploring. Fate requests a sparring match, and Iroha asks to watch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo joins Iroha to observe the fight between Nanoha and Fate. The two exchange blows at maximum speed, with Fate using close-range attacks while Nanoha fights from a distance. The match ends in a tie after a final, explosive clash. Before leaving for a break, Nanoha turns to Iroha and reveals the true answer to Raising Heart&#039;s question: wisdom and tactics. Iroha agrees, especially after witnessing their battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Natsuki is fretting over a lost wallet at the Promise Altar, and Ria offers to help her search since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway. Natsuki apologizes for the trouble, but Ria insists she doesn&#039;t mind and even offers to lend her money. Natsuki refuses the loan but admits she needs money for train fare home. She reluctantly agrees to borrow just enough for the trip and promises to pay Ria back later. Ria asks if Natsuki is sure she doesn&#039;t want to file a report, but Natsuki believes the wallet is simply lost rather than stolen and wants to keep searching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hayate Yagami#Side Story|Hayate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria suggests they retrace Natsuki&#039;s steps and asks where she&#039;s been. Natsuki lists the Promise Altar, the station, the shopping district, and an izakaya where she ate with friends. Ria questions why she went to an izakaya alone, and Natsuki clarifies she was with coworkers. Ria finds it odd that Natsuki was drinking with coworkers and then came to the shrine alone afterwards. Natsuki admits it&#039;s a long story involving a former coworker&#039;s engagement announcement that left her feeling restless. She came to the shrine to think but realized she didn&#039;t have enough money to get home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they search, they run into Masara and Kokoro. Masara bluntly tells Natsuki she probably won&#039;t find it and suggests getting a new student ID. Kokoro gently scolds her for being insensitive and offers to help search. Ria mentions they&#039;ve already looked around the shrine, so Kokoro suggests they expand the search area.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group heads to the shopping district, where they encounter Kanoko. She offers to help search as well, and they all continue looking together. Eventually, Ria asks Natsuki to retrace her exact steps from when she left the izakaya. Natsuki recalls walking to the station, realizing she didn&#039;t want to go home yet, and coming to the shrine. Ria points out that she would have needed her wallet to pay the izakaya bill, so she definitely had it after leaving. Natsuki confirms this and remembers using her train pass at the station before changing her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria concludes the wallet must be somewhere between the station turnstiles and the shrine, but they&#039;ve already searched that route thoroughly. Kanoko suggests Natsuki might have dropped it somewhere else without realizing, like when she pulled out her phone. Natsuki&#039;s eyes light up, and she admits she did take out her phone at the station to check something. She just can&#039;t remember what she did with her wallet after that. Ria proposes they split up to cover more ground, and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Natsuki returns home defeated and exhausted. Her father calls out to her, and when she enters the living room, she finds her wallet sitting on the table. Her mother found it in the shopping district and a kind stranger turned it in. Natsuki&#039;s relief quickly turns to panic when she remembers she borrowed money from Ria, and now she has no way to contact her. She considers calling Kokoro but realizes she doesn&#039;t have her number either. She decides to go back to the Promise Altar the next day to hopefully find Ria there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Natsuki returns to the Promise Altar and is relieved to spot Ria. She excitedly explains that her wallet was found and immediately tries to repay the loan. Ria accepts the money but notices Natsuki seems troubled about something else. Natsuki admits she&#039;s been thinking about her former coworker&#039;s engagement and how she handled the situation. Ria offers to listen if Natsuki wants to talk, but Natsuki says she&#039;d rather not burden her further. Ria insists it&#039;s no trouble since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki explains that her former coworker Yukari got engaged and announced it at a gathering. Natsuki congratulated her happily, but another coworker named Ootori made some passive-aggressive comments about how Yukari managed to find someone before her. Later, Ootori apologized to Natsuki for her behavior, but Natsuki feels she should have defended Yukari in the moment. She feels guilty for not speaking up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria asks why she feels responsible for defending Yukari. Natsuki admits it&#039;s because Yukari was always kind to her when she first started the job, and she feels she failed to repay that kindness. Ria points out that Natsuki did congratulate Yukari sincerely, and that was probably what mattered most to her in that moment. Natsuki realizes Ria is right and thanks her for the perspective.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just then, Kanagi arrives, and Ria prepares to leave. Before going, she offers Natsuki her contact information so she can reach out if she ever needs to talk again. Natsuki gratefully accepts, and the two part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During a break in the Mirrors tournament, Fate, Nanoha, and Hayate encounter a copy of Fate that proves too powerful for them to handle alone. Felicia, Kako, and Ayame appear to help, and together they defeat the copy. When Felicia asks what they&#039;re doing there, Fate admits they got lost. The Kamihama girls learn the trio is from out of town and younger than them, but they quickly become friends and head back to the standby zone together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Fate T. Harlaown#Side Story|Fate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group somehow gets roped into a dodgeball game, with teams forming spontaneously among the tournament participants. Fate proves to be exceptionally athletic, leading her team through multiple rounds against increasingly competitive opponents. After defeating Momoko&#039;s team, they face a martial arts team featuring Akira, Meiyui, and Asuka, which Fate also wins. Tsuruno, refusing to let age be a barrier, recruits Masara and Natsuki for a final match against Fate&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match comes down to a intense showdown between Fate and Tsuruno, both catching and returning each other&#039;s throws with increasing speed and power. Fate ultimately outmaneuvers Tsuruno by throwing to Nanoha and leaping into the air for the winning strike. Everyone celebrates the friendly tournament and the new friendships formed across different cities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the tournament progresses, Team Nanoha easily advances through early rounds with Fate&#039;s incredible speed, though Momoko notices Hayate and Nanoha have yet to reveal their full power. Elsewhere, Mitama learns that Momoko announced her team would break up if they lost not because Kaede is useless but to show their conviction, though both Kaede and Rena had doubts. The tournament continues until four teams remain, with Team Momoko advancing to the finals through clever strategy and Team Nanoha defeating Team Masara to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match begins with Fate and Rena clashing in a battle of speed that seemingly knocks both out, leaving Nanoha and Hayate to face Momoko and Kaede. Hayate fuses with Reinforce Zwei and unleashes Ragnarok to take out Kaede, then joins Nanoha against Momoko, who withstands Nanoha&#039;s Starlight Breaker as both girls stand exhausted. Before a winner can be decided, Lindy contacts Nanoha with an emergency: a fugitive illegally opened a rift between worlds, and the Mirror copy of Shizuku appears nearby, having used her powers to connect the Mirror labyrinth to Uminary City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The copy stole the tournament&#039;s grand prize, a special orb that exponentially increases magical power, and the girls call off the match to track her down. Team Nanoha and Team Momoko catch the copy, but after they defeat her, copies of Hayate, Fate, and Nanoha appear and swallow the broken orb pieces, gaining immense power. All the Magical Girls unite to take down the powered-up copies, and through combined efforts they finally delete the magical signatures. With the tunnel between worlds about to collapse, Mitama declares both teams winners, and the girls exchange heartfelt goodbyes before the Nanoha trio returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day in Kamihama, Kaede realizes her texts to Hayate no longer go through, Momoko cannot reach Nanoha or Fate, and Rena cannot find Uminary City on any map. Mitama and Shizuku conclude the girls must have come from a different world entirely, since they needed a space tunnel to travel rather than a simple train ride. Though Kaede is sad they may never meet again, Rena is grateful for the friendship they formed, and the three resolve to work hard for a future rematch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Asuka finds herself in a cloud-filled void facing a shadowy version of herself who claims to be the hidden part of Asuka&#039;s heart. The shadow declares Asuka is no longer fit to practice Ryushin-ryu because her blade has been sullied by contracting as a Magical Girl. When Asuka protests, the shadow recounts how Asuka wished for her cousin to become a police officer after his dreams were jeopardized by their uncle&#039;s arrest, arguing that twisting fate with magic was selfish and wrong. The shadow insists that with her heart no longer true, Asuka walks a false path and should abandon her school, urging her to die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her despair, Asuka remembers her father&#039;s words about asking her own heart what is right, like water filling a square bowl. She tells the shadow that perceptions of right and wrong can change with the situation, and though she cannot refute the shadow&#039;s claims, she knows her heart believed her actions were just. Believing words alone cannot reach the shadow, Asuka challenges her to a fight to prove her blade&#039;s strength reflects her sincere heart. The shadow warns that slaying her means slaying herself, but Asuka declares she fears being untrue to herself more than death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their swords clash, and after a long battle, the shadow succumbs to Asuka&#039;s attack and acknowledges her blade was as pure as her heart. The shadow warns she may return in a different form if Asuka&#039;s heart becomes stained again, then vanishes. Asuka awakens near a pond deep in the forest, where she had gone to meditate as part of her training. She remembers the shadow&#039;s promise and considers asking Mitama what it all meant, but feels her father&#039;s words have been engraved in her more deeply now. With her resolve unwavering, she runs back to the dojo, taking a straight path out of the woods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka awakens to find herself in a strange, cloud-filled void. A shadowy copy of herself appears, introducing itself as the part of her she has suppressed deep within her heart. The shadow urges Nanaka to end her pursuit of vengeance, calling it a fruitless endeavor that changes nothing. Nanaka refuses, explaining that the act of revenge itself holds meaning for her, not the result. The shadow questions where vengeance has led her: a life of constant danger in an endless struggle against Witches. Nanaka admits there is nothing to gain from her actions, but her conviction remains unshakable. The shadow then accuses Nanaka of dragging Akira, Kako, and Meiyui into her vengeance, using them to fulfill her goals. Nanaka acknowledges this truth but insists she would never throw their lives away. She believes fate brought them together to fight a common enemy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka recalls the moments before she lost consciousness. Her team had cornered a Witch, but it disappeared and reappeared near a weakened Kako. Nanaka leaped in to shield her, and Akira and Meiyui joined the fight. The shadow suggests Nanaka protected Kako to redeem herself, but Nanaka denies this. The shadow warns it will continue watching from the depths of her heart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka awakens to find her teammates standing over her, relieved she is alive. The Witch is defeated. Nanaka tells Kako not to worry about anything, as they are teammates. Meiyui finds her choice of words unusual, but Akira insists Nanaka see Mitama for a checkup. Kako thanks Nanaka for protecting her. Nanaka smiles, thinking to herself that each of them is their own flower, supporting one another through their shared fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis====&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha announces that a cafe Yachiyo frequents has opened a new location near Mikazuki Villa, and the group decides to visit on opening day. They arrive to find it is actually a Curry House CoCo Ichibanya, and Yachiyo passionately explains the menu options as they wait for the store to open.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the store opens early, the employee announces they cannot open today due to a missing delivery truck carrying ingredients. The employee breaks down in tears, explaining her family came to see her first store opening. The group notices magical energy emanating from the store and decides to help find the truck, promising to return for curry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They investigate at the last store the truck visited. The employee there confirms the truck is missing but provides spare ingredients and explains that stores support each other in times of trouble. The group splits into two teams: one to gather ingredients from other stores, and one to trace the truck&#039;s route. During coordination, they learn a second CoCoIchi truck has also gone missing on the same road.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While gathering ingredients, Tsuruno&#039;s group encounters a lost, hungry girl who flees upon hearing CoCoIchi and nearly crashes into Sana. Afterward, Sana realizes the employee at the new store could see her despite her invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s group follows the road where both trucks disappeared and finds a Witch&#039;s barrier. Inside, they find both trucks and their drivers. Iroha and Ui engage the Witch&#039;s familiars while Yachiyo secures the drivers. Iroha realizes the Witch is targeting the cargo, so she throws curry ingredients at it, causing the Witch to abandon the fight and allowing them to defeat it easily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno calls with urgent news that the store employee is a Magical Girl, her missing little sister is also a Magical Girl, and she has not been able to contact her since yesterday. The group fears the curry-loving Witch they just defeated was the sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the new store, where the employee is preparing their reward curry. Before Iroha can confess, a girl rushes in calling for her sister. It is the employee&#039;s little sister, alive and well. The group realizes the Witch was simply a curry-loving Witch unrelated to the sister. They finally sit down to enjoy the promised curry together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui====&lt;br /&gt;
* Meiyui&#039;s family is helping organize a local event when a stranger stabs one of their members and flees, dropping a badge. Meiyui chooses to tend to the victim rather than give chase, despite his protests that she is being too soft.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many in the organization want revenge, but Meiyui refuses, not wanting to return to their old ways as an evil organization. The members are reluctant to involve the police due to being falsely accused of murder three years prior. Meiyui had contracted with Kyubey back then to expose the truth with her wish, but lingering distrust remains.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui goes alone to track the culprit. The dropped badge leads her to an abandoned company tied to illegal labor her family had helped shut down. After defeating a stray Witch, she is ambushed and kidnapped by a man with a taser.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She wakes handcuffed alongside about ten others. The kidnappers reveal the badge was a trap to lure her. They include a former police officer who had fabricated evidence against her family and associates of the real murderer from that case, all blaming the Blue Seas for ruining their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her Soul Gem is heavily tainted from the Witch fight, and she begins hearing her Doppel&#039;s voice. In a cloudy void, her shadow self insists she should have killed these enemies when she had the chance, arguing her organization cannot survive without dirtying their hands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Meiyui struggles to stay conscious, she uses her last energy to beg the culprits to leave her family alone, insisting they are not a bad group. The stabber dismisses her pleas and suggests killing her as a warning instead. Her Doppel mocks her, saying evil people will always exist no matter how sincerely she tries to live righteously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, her organization members arrive to rescue her. The stabbed victim is among them, now grateful Meiyui had stayed to help him instead of chasing revenge. He admits he used to believe abandoning burdens was the way of the world, but facing death alone showed him he was wrong. He is alive because of Meiyui&#039;s strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hearing this, Meiyui&#039;s mind clears. In the void, her Doppel asks if she is ready to kill them, but Meiyui rejects violence entirely. The Doppel submits, allowing her to put everyone in the area to sleep without bloodshed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The police soon arrive after the kidnapper, persuaded by Meiyui, confesses over the phone. They find several family members asleep everywhere and note a look of complete relief on Meiyui&#039;s sleeping face.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Little Bird&#039;s Star====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe and other Black Feathers are in Fendt Hope, commiserating about their weakness. A White Feather had to bail them out after they were followed by a Witch while delivering a parcel from Mitama&#039;s shop. They discuss Yachiyo Nanami, a veteran Magical Girl who destroys Uwasas.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu and Nemu emerge from a room arguing. Nemu dismisses Mifuyu and approaches the Black Feathers with a request. She asks them to investigate the &amp;quot;Uwasa of the Jealous Coward,&amp;quot; also called the &amp;quot;Green-Eyed Coward.&amp;quot; Kuroe hesitates but agrees when Nemu insists she has the aptitude.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group investigates an area with many students but cannot find the Uwasa. The other Black Feathers leave for personal commitments. Kuroe stays, feeling she has nothing to return to. The Uwasa manifests when Kuroe expresses envy toward the other girls&#039; normal lives. Two Black Feathers are knocked unconscious. Nemu is satisfied with the results and tasks Kuroe with investigating more Uwasas starting tomorrow. Kuroe protests but Nemu leaves before she can refuse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1744.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1743.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The Amane twins, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo, meet Kuroe at Fendt Hope and they begin investigating Uwasas in Sakae Ward but find nothing. They move to Hokuyo Ward. Kuroe notices a missing cat poster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They sense Yachiyo&#039;s group nearby and flee. Yachiyo and Iroha corner Kuroe. The twins escape. Yachiyo interrogates Kuroe. An Uwasa resembling Kuroe appears and attacks, then disappears. Yachiyo accuses Kuroe of controlling it. Kuroe insists she had no knowledge of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo decides to take Kuroe camping to monitor her. At the campground, the Amane twins briefly contact Kuroe and say they will consult Nemu, so Kuroe resolves to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe helps Iroha gather firewood. Iroha is scared by a caterpillar and Kuroe removes it. Kuroe introduces herself by name. She helps the group set up their tent and prepare lunch, using skills learned from Wings of Magius training. She reminds herself not to get drawn into their warm atmosphere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mentions a waterfall power spot. Kuroe offers to get water. Iroha accompanies her. They get lost. A woman helps Kuroe find the waterfall and gives her an empty bottle. The woman explains the place is her personal power spot for resetting her mind. Kuroe wishes she had strength to face the future. The Uwasa appears and attacks the woman. Iroha arrives and finds the woman unconscious. Kuroe begs Iroha for help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe carries the unconscious woman back to the campsite. The Amane twins inform her that Nemu says she is possessed by the Uwasa and should stay with Yachiyo&#039;s group. Yachiyo warns that if more casualties occur, she will destroy the Uwasa. Iroha suggests keeping Kuroe for observation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group participates in a stamp rally and Iroha and Kuroe pair up. They discover they are both from Takarazaki. Iroha explains she moved to Kamihama to find her missing sister. Suddenly, a Witch appears and Kuroe and Iroha fight it together. Kuroe acts as a decoy while Iroha defeats the Witch. Kuroe feels inadequate compared to Iroha&#039;s courage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe asks for time alone and she reflects on her fears and envy. The Uwasa appears again, resembling Kuroe. The group fights it and Iroha urges Kuroe to destroy the Uwasa. Kuroe admits she is afraid she cannot be herself, so she and Iroha destroy the Uwasa together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amane twins inform Kuroe they must report the Uwasa&#039;s destruction, yet Kuroe does not regret it. Iroha asks to talk with Kuroe and Yachiyo offers them tea. Kuroe admits she feels safe with the Wings of Magius because they represent hope for her. Iroha accepts this and Kuroe tells Iroha she wants to be like her someday. They part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe finds the missing cat and returns it to its owner, who is overjoyed. Kuroe realizes she saved someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe reports to Nemu and Mifuyu. Nemu reveals the Uwasa summons itself based on dissatisfaction and envy. Nemu admits she expected Yachiyo&#039;s group to handle an accident with the Uwasa. However, Nemu is satisfied that she now has more research on fusing Uwasa with Magical Girls, however Mifuyu warns Nemu not to experiment on the Feathers. Kuroe realizes that even the Magius are imperfect and she reflects on her long day. She resolves to do her best, one step at a time, and hopes to see Iroha again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 7th==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia and Sana decide to buy matching coasters as a gift for Yachiyo, to show their appreciation, and after some searching, they find a suitable set.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: Memories That Reveal the Truth]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 8th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the plan to present the gift is interrupted when Mifuyu Azusa arrives at the villa before Yachiyo returns home. The girls&#039; plan was for Iroha to wait inside while the others came from outside to surprise Yachiyo. Mifuyu prepares tea and reveals one of the two mugs on the top shelf, which Yachiyo forbade Iroha from using, belongs to her. Mifuyu invites Iroha to a lecture hosted by the Wings of the Magius to explain their goal of &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls. The lecture is scheduled for two days later at the Memory Museum and Iroha agrees to investigate the Rumor about the museum first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo returns home and is visibly distressed to find Mifuyu there. Mifuyu leaves, asking Iroha to inform the others about the lecture. Before finally leaving, Mifuyu returns to speak to Yachiyo privately. She references a &amp;quot;promise&amp;quot; they made a year ago, and accuses Yachiyo of returning to her old ways. Yachiyo insists her relationship with Iroha and the others is &amp;quot;just cooperating.&amp;quot; Yachiyo retreats to her room without receiving the coasters. That night, Yachiyo reflects on her past, resolving to return to the person she once was.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 9th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the lecture, Iroha is unable to give Yachiyo the coasters due to Yachiyo&#039;s low spirits. Iroha discusses her plan to attend the Wings of the Magius lecture with Madoka Kaname via text. Iroha then attempts to investigate the Rumor of the Memory Museum. Yachiyo claims no knowledge of it and leaves for school. Iroha and Momoko ask Mitama, who refuses to share information to maintain her neutrality. After the visit, Mitama has a separate conversation with Momoko about Momoko&#039;s own secret, advising her to tell her friends the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede and Rena help Iroha by summoning the creature that recites the Rumor of the Memory Museum, which allows people to view researched memories. Tsuruno&#039;s father provides the location of the similar-sounding &amp;quot;Kamihama Memorial Museum.&amp;quot; That evening, Yachiyo refuses to join the investigation, reiterating that her relationship with the others is strictly professional, which saddens Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Saturday, the 10th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the lecture, Yachiyo again refuses to go to the museum and Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana go to the Kamihama Memorial Museum without her. There, they are greeted by Touka Satomi, who reveals herself as one of the three Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently at Mikazuki, Yachiyo, haunted by memories of past friends, decides she must investigate the Memory Museum herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Touka throne 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka Satomi gives them a lecture titled &amp;quot;The Truth Behind Magical Girls.&amp;quot; She presents three key items through illustrative stories:&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 1: Soul Gems. A story reveals that a Soul Gem is a Magical Girl&#039;s actual soul. Using magic consumes this life force, and if the gem shatters, the Magical Girl dies. Touka uses an analogy of an internal vs. external battery to explain Soul Gems and Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 2: Witches. A second story demonstrates that when a Magical Girl&#039;s Soul Gem becomes fully corrupted, she transforms into a Witch. This revelation traumatizes Felicia, who realizes the Witches she has been killing were once Magical Girls and that she herself is destined to become one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 3: Doppels. A third story explains that in Kamihama City, a fully corrupted Soul Gem can manifest a &amp;quot;Doppel&amp;quot; instead of a Witch. The Wings of the Magius present this as the key to &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls from their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* To prove their claims, Touka and Mifuyu Azusa activate the Memory Museum&#039;s Rumor. Mifuyu presents a book containing her own memories, inviting the group to witness the truth of the lecture firsthand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo arrives at the museum and confronts Touka. She is shown into the memory dimension where Iroha and the others are and Mifuyu activates the Rumor, forcing the group to relive her memories. The memories depict Yachiyo&#039;s former team, Mikazuki Villa:&lt;br /&gt;
** The first memory shows Kanae Yukino sacrificing herself to reveal a Witch&#039;s weakness. Her uninjured body is found next to her shattered Soul Gem, proving the Soul Gem is the Magical Girl&#039;s life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second memory shows Mel Anna using too much magic to protect Yachiyo. With no Grief Seed to purify her fully corrupted Soul Gem, Mel transforms into a Witch before the team&#039;s eyes, confirming Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The third memory shows Mifuyu&#039;s despair six months after Mel&#039;s death, causing her Soul Gem to corrupt fully. Instead of becoming a Witch, she manifests a Doppel. Touka then appears and recruits her into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno is consumed by guilt over Mel&#039;s death, believing her absence that day was the cause. Felicia is horrified, realizing the Witches she killed were Magical Girls and Sana is terrified but feels powerless to change the system. Touka and Mifuyu use this emotional vulnerability to press their recruitment offers to each girl, promising a world where these tragedies are impossible and even suggesting Sana could be freed from her wish of invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo reject the offer to join and Yachiyo compares the Magius&#039; methods to Kyubey&#039;s, accusing them of exploiting weaknesses. Yachiyo then announces she is disbanding their team, which Iroha protests, but Yachiyo insists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka reveals that Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana have been brainwashed and now serve the Wings of the Magius. Alina Gray arrives and traps Iroha and Yachiyo within her Labyrinth and leaves them to face a Witch. As they fight the Witch, Yachiyo reiterates her decision to disband the team and work alone. She reveals her wish was &amp;quot;I want to survive,&amp;quot; and explains that she interprets this as a curse: the power to survive by sacrificing her teammates, based on the last words of her former comrades, Kanae and Mel, who both died while she lived. Yachiyo believes that to protect Iroha, she must sever their partnership.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha rejects Yachiyo&#039;s conclusion. She declares she will defeat the Uwasa alone to prove Yachiyo&#039;s &amp;quot;curse&amp;quot; is not real and that she can protect Yachiyo. Iroha states she is angry that Yachiyo made this decision for everyone and vows to rescue their brainwashed friends. She defeats the Witch and rejects Yachiyo&#039;s belief in a cursed wish and declares herself the new leader to nullify its perceived effect. Yachiyo relents and agrees to work with Iroha to save their friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the same time, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, having detected Mami&#039;s magic while investigating Kamihama, investigate the closed Kamihama Recording Museum. They are attacked by the Wings of the Magius. While Madoka and Homura hold them off, Sayaka proceeds and witnesses Mami, transformed into &amp;quot;Holy Mami,&amp;quot; attacking Iroha and Yachiyo. It is here that Sayaka learns the horrific truth that Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: A Stand-Off With Fate]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, now a brainwashed member of the Wings of the Magius, confronts them. As Iroha and Yachiyo are too injured to fight, Sayaka Miki arrives and intervenes. Sayaka uses a bomb from Homura to create a diversion, allowing the three to escape.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After their escape, Sayaka gives Iroha a Grief Seed. Iroha explains the truth about Witches and the Wings of the Magius to Sayaka, who is horrified. Sayaka leaves to process this information and Iroha and Yachiyo walk home in silence to reflect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After fleeing the museum, Sayaka reunites with Madoka and Homura, defeats their pursuers in a distraught state, and explains what happened to Mami to them, as well as the truth about becoming Witches.The group returns to Mitakihara in silence but Madoka resolves to find a way to avoid their fate and to save Mami. Sayaka agrees to fight back as well and later decides to meet with Kyoko Sakura.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, at Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo reaffirm their commitment to save their friends and Momoko arrives, having told the secret of Magical Girls to Rena and Kaede. Yachiyo also apologizes for her actions and explains her fears about her wish. Momoko forgives her and reaffirms their friendship. Iroha then receives a text from Madoka, who promises to come to Kamihama to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Sayaka meets Kyoko and reveals the truth about Witches. Kyoko deduces this is what the Wings of the Magius meant by &amp;quot;saving&amp;quot; Magical Girls. Kyoko declares she will find a way to avoid becoming a Witch and confront the Wings of the Magius alone, rejecting Sayaka&#039;s offer of help. Despite Sayaka&#039;s protests, Kyoko leaves to operate solo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Likely during this time, Yachiyo pulls out a box containing what her former friends Kanae Yukino and Mel Anna left behind. She has never opened it since filling it and spends the entire day staring at it, unable to lift the lid. When Iroha arrives and asks about it, Yachiyo explains and admits she is trying to work through her feelings. Iroha offers to help, but Yachiyo deflects, reminding her they were supposed to visit Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls visit Mitama Yakumo and present Grief Seeds as payment for adjustment. Mitama is surprised by the offering and promises to do her best, but she expresses concern about Yachiyo&#039;s emotional state. She suggests Yachiyo clear up her issues with the box before moving forward and offers to adjust both girls at once as a special exception.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Mitama works on her, Yachiyo finds herself in a gray room confronted by a shadowy doppelganger. The shadow accuses her of being afraid of the future and clinging to the past. When Yachiyo refuses to give in to despair, the shadow transforms into her doppel, but she stands firm, accepting her fear while choosing to move forward. Iroha appears beside her, and together they bid farewell to visions of Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo awakens and realizes Mitama adjusted them together intentionally, trusting Iroha could help her if needed. She thanks Mitama for looking out for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at her house, Yachiyo finally opens the box with Iroha beside her. Inside, Kanae left a book of lyrics about becoming a circle with others, and Mel left fortune telling impressions predicting a future where many magical girls would gather in Kamihama. Yachiyo cries as she reads their words. Iroha suggests they head toward that gentle future together. Yachiyo agrees but says first they need to get back their own three points: Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha resolves to find her lost friends and mentally tells Ui to wait a bit longer. Iroha and Yachiyo finish cleaning their house. Iroha resolves to give the coasters she and the others bought for Yachiyo when everyone is reunited. Iroha says she sent a message to Madoka in Mitakihara City, but hasn&#039;t gotten a response.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 7: Awakening to Paradise]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Immediately after Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana are taken, Mifuyu reports to Touka and Alina that the brainwashing on the three is holding, so Touka selects Tsuruno for a mission, which Alina states will involve &amp;quot;mass murder.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in her room, Iroha thinks back to when she celebrated Christmas with her friends, but resolves to keep going with her mission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sunday, the 11th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo investigate the Kamihama Rumor Files at Mikazuki Villa. Iroha recognizes some of the Rumors. They meet with Momoko, who mentions Tsuruno&#039;s perfect school attendance record is now broken and that a new amusement park is also opening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo visit Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant and her father reveals Tsuruno and Felicia visited once. Tsuruno told him she found a place where she feels safe and would not return and he notes her expression was blank, similar to how she looked a year ago after Mel&#039;s death. Afterwards, a White Feather ambushes Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will be used for a mission like Tsuruno, and the two fight off the attacker.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Monday, the 12th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo devise a plan to destroy Rumors across Kamihama to lure out the Wings of the Magius and locate their base. They share this plan with Momoko, who offers to help by getting Grief Seeds for them while they hunt. Momoko then goes to check on Kaede, who is hiding in her room. She hugs Kaede and tells her she and Rena will always be there to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo systematically hunt Rumors like the &amp;quot;Historical Battle Marker,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Castle Town Illusion,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Headless Biker Gang,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Puzzle Tiles Lock,&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;Fashion Monster.&amp;quot; They also interrogate captured Feathers, but none reveal information about Tsuruno, Felicia, or Sana&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Momoko investigates a rapidly spreading rumor about a new amusement park. She notes it originated in the east and spread west through Sakae, Mizuna, and Shinsei Wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha and Yachiyo analyze the Kamihama Rumor Files, marking all known Rumor locations on a map. They identify a pattern: Rumors cluster more densely in Shinsei Ward, with a notable concentration around Satomi Medical Center, the hospital where Ui was supposedly treated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They travel to the hospital area and are ambushed by Feathers. Felicia and Sana, who had broken free of the brainwashing, arrive and help fight off the attackers. The four Magical Girls reunite and Felicia and Sana reveal they pretended to be brainwashed to gather information. Momoko confirms the amusement park rumor spread from east to west and will open at dawn in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Sana explain to Yachiyo and Iroha that Mifuyu used her illusion magic to break their brainwashing. Mifuyu revealed the Magius are protecting and strengthening Witches for their liberation plan and are planning to use the brainwashed Magical Girls to cross a dangerous line. Mifuyu attempted to free Tsuruno but failed, as Tsuruno&#039;s reason for being brainwashed was different. Mifuyu then helped Felicia and Sana escape but chose to remain behind, stating they would be enemies next time they meet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko arrives and shares her investigation into a new Rumor about an amusement park opening at dawn in two days. She confirms it spread from the east, and the group overlays the Rumor locations on a map and identifies a pattern suggesting a source or &amp;quot;eye of the storm&amp;quot; in the eastern wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kanagi screenshot.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo decides to contact Kanagi Izumi, the powerful Magical Girl who controls the eastern Daito and Kosho Wards and is a former rival of hers. Kanagi agrees to an alliance, and during their call, Tsukasa of the Wings of the Magius arrives at Kanagi&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tuesday, the 13th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The morning, Felicia and Sana try to accompany Iroha and Yachiyo but are told to rest due to their collapse the previous night. Iroha and Yachiyo leave them behind. Meanwhile in Kosho Ward, Iroha, Yachiyo, Momoko, and Kanagi meet and Kanagi agrees to ally with them against the Wings of the Magius. They combine their Rumor data on a map, which reveals a circular pattern with a vacant center in Kosho Ward and Kanagi identifies the old railway yard as the likely location of the Wings&#039; base.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After learning the truth about Witches, Madoka questions Kyubey about a way to avoid becoming a Witch. Kyubey states he knows of no method and reveals he cannot enter Kamihama City himself. He proposes an alliance to investigate the Wings of the Magius but Madoka refuses to promise cooperation. She resolves to return to Kamihama with her friends, but then a Witch from Kamihama appears in Mitakihara.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 7: Eve of the Awakening]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura defeat the Kamihama Witch. They share Grief Seeds and note the alarming appearance of foreign Witches in their city. The trio resolves to go to Kamihama the next day to find answers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Around this time, Kyoko successfully infiltrates the Wings of the Magius. She is assigned to a team tasked with dealing with a group that erases Rumors, which she suspects is Iroha&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s group travels to the railway yard but finds it empty. They are ambushed by Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who summon Witches and during the battle, Kanagi uses her unique power to read Iroha&#039;s true intentions and confirms her sincerity. Kanagi then joins the fight and helps defeat the Amane sisters and their Black Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi uses her power on the defeated Amane sisters to read their minds and she learns that Tsuruno is still completely brainwashed and has become part of an Uwasa to protect it. She also learns Tsuruno&#039;s location is at the Ferris Wheel Field in Daito Ward and the group prepares to move out immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Sana and Felicia wait anxiously and Yachiyo calls them with an update.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Rena visits Kaede at her house, and after an argument involving slapping and pinching, Kaede reconciles with Rena and agrees to return to school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team arrives in Daito Ward, where Yachiyo and Iroha plan to enter the &amp;quot;amusement park&amp;quot; Rumor to save Tsuruno, while Felicia, Sana, Momoko, and Kanagi hold off the Wings of the Magius. The group locates the Rumor&#039;s entrance and Kanagi and Momoko stay behind to fight the Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo proceed and confront Alina, Touka, and Mifuyu, where Alina declares her intent to erase them. During the battle, Mifuyu secretly tells Yachiyo that destroying the main Uwasa will kill Tsuruno, and that they must instead tear the Uwasa from her by connecting with her heart. Mifuyu also reveals Tsuruno is in a Ferris wheel car.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101705 uwasatsuruno.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo enter the Rumor, &amp;quot;Chelation Land,&amp;quot; which induces a hazy, thoughtless state. They find Tsuruno, who has fully merged with the Uwasa and acts as the park&#039;s host. Tsuruno tries to force them to relax and stay, serving them hotpot in mugs reminiscent of Mikazuki Villa, but they refuse and attempt to reason with Tsuruno, and she attacks them. Following Mifuyu&#039;s advice, they combine their magic to tear the Uwasa from Tsuruno in one powerful strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nemu02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After Tsuruno is freed from the Uwasa, Yachiyo realizes that Tsuruno&#039;s cheerful demeanor was a facade to hide her pain and guilt over past events, including the death of Mel. The team defeats the main Uwasa of Chelation Land and the Magius, Touka, Nemu Hiiragi, and Alina, confront the group. Nemu reveals she is the &amp;quot;Creator&amp;quot; of all the Rumors in Kamihama and the Magius explain their goal: to use the energy generated by Rumors and Witches to hatch &amp;quot;Embryo Eve,&amp;quot; a being that will liberate all Magical Girls worldwide from the fate of becoming Witches. They state the phenomenon requires the presence of all three Magius and a massive energy source, for which they have used the people of Kamihama and the teams part ways in opposition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 14th==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101701 coaster02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, at Mikazuki Villa, the team summarizes the Magius&#039; plan and that Kamihama is an incubator for Embryo Eve. They resolve to stop the Magius due to the plan&#039;s high human cost and the group gives Yachiyo the set of sakura blossom-themed coasters as a symbol of their team unity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka are separately attacked by multiple Kamihama Witches in Mitakihara before reuniting. They realize the Witch incursion is a coordinated attack meant to prevent them from leaving Mitakihara. Their magic and Grief Seed reserves are heavily depleted in the constant battles.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the ongoing Witch attacks, the trio is overwhelmed by a powerful Witch and is forced to retreat. Sayaka breaks down, admitting her terror of becoming a Witch and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka share their fears and resolve to face the threat together. They are observed by Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, who imply the attack is part of their plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Fendt Hope, Kyoko, having gained the trust of her unit, is taken on a tour of the Wings of the Magius headquarters by her White Feather superior.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, the three defeat the Feathers sent to observe them, and after interrogating them, they receive a message from Iroha about how to save Mami. Holy Mami arrives to Mitakihara and reveals she brought the Witches to Mitakihara to keep the three of them &amp;quot;safe,&amp;quot; and insists the Magius will save them. Alina Gray also appears and traps Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka in a Barrier, which Mami seals with her ribbons.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her infiltration, Kyoko is taken to Hotel Fenthope by Mifuyu Azusa. She confronts Holy Mami, accusing her of not being the real Mami Tomoe. Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi arrive and reinforce the Rumor brainwashing on Mami. Mifuyu secretly escorts Kyoko away and reveals the Magius&#039; plans: they are using a mysterious entity called &amp;quot;Eve&amp;quot; to liberate Magical Girls and are deliberately bringing Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama to hatch it. Horrified, Kyoko rejects the Magius and is led out of the city by Mifuyu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Once More From Here]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko arrives in Mitakihara and frees Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka from Alina&#039;s Barrier. She explains the Magius&#039; plan to bring Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama and Homura urges the group to stay in Mitakihara for safety. Kyoko departs alone, later resolving to return and crush the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Iroha has a sudden memory flashback to the hospital, triggered by the word &amp;quot;sakura.&amp;quot; She remembers a story she, Ui, Touka, and Nemu created about the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot; She deduces this Rumor is real and located at the hospital, and that all the Rumors were created there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Touka and Nemu observe that Embryo Eve has reached a critical state and they confirm that a legendary, cross-dimensional event they foresaw: the arrival of Walpurgisnacht, will provide the final, massive energy surge needed to hatch Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo calls a meeting with the Mikazuki Villa household, Tsuruno, and the Momoko trio to share her concern that rumors persist even after they defeat the Uwasa themselves. The group splits up to investigate whether the original Uwasa have truly vanished or transformed into something new.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Hereafter]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko, Kaede, and Rena investigate the Breakup Staircase and find only scattered internet gossip remains. During their search, lingering tensions surface over Rena&#039;s painful memories of when Kaede was kidnapped by that Uwasa, but the trio ultimately reconciles and continues working together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno visit Mizuna Shrine, where the Séance Shrine Uwasa has transformed into a popular spot for relationship prayers with new mascots. They encounter a grieving girl who comes daily to pray for her deceased friend, and Yachiyo is reminded of her own departed companions Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Felicia track down the man behind the revived Misery Water rumor, who confesses he was scammed into buying the water and cannot bring himself to deceive others. Felicia helps him find honest work, and the rumors die out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana investigates an online forum where troubled users make veiled threats, but the rumor fades without incident. Tsuruno and Iroha check Chelation Land, where Tsuruno reflects on her past brainwashing and muses about whether some Uwasa exist independently of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The groups reconvene and report that all investigated rumors have left minimal traces. Yachiyo concludes their investigation of the Uwasa is complete, and only the Wings of Magius themselves remain to be confronted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voices from Beyond, Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the afterlife, Mel Anna meets Kanae Yukino, another Magical Girl ghost who also died fighting a Witch. Mel is thrilled to discover they were both on a team with Yachiyo Nanami and calls Kanae her senpai. Kanae takes Mel to a ghost cafe where deceased Magical Girls gather, explaining they cannot interact with the living world except through psychics.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Voices From Beyond]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they wander Kamihama, Mel notices Witch numbers rising dramatically and worries about Yachiyo. They follow Yachiyo and are relieved to find she has new companions in Iroha Tamaki and others, though they remain concerned about their former teammate Mifuyu&#039;s absence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, they watch helplessly as Yachiyo battles the Wings of Magius and eventually enters the Memory Museum, where she relives the trauma of losing Mel and Kanae. When Yachiyo dissolves her team afterward, convinced her magic causes others to die for her, the ghosts desperately try to reach her. Kanae notices Yachiyo kept their mementos: Mel&#039;s fortune log and Kanae&#039;s notebook. They focus their thoughts on these items, and that night, Yachiyo discovers their messages—Kanae&#039;s lyrics about forming a circle and Mel&#039;s fortune predicting the current events. Grateful, she resolves to move forward. Their successful contact gets their ghost licenses suspended, and they watch Yachiyo&#039;s dream of their encounter before fading.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 15th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius initiate a city-wide offensive, unleashing powerful Witches and sending brainwashed Black and White Feathers to indiscriminately attack other Magical Girls. Mami delivers a declaration of war to Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will no longer delay their plan for &amp;quot;freedom.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Kamihama, Painted in Fiction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magical Girls of Kamihama form a coordinated response and Yachiyo&#039;s team devises a strategy: first, eliminate the unleashed Witches; second, protect other Magical Girls and direct them to Mitama&#039;s shop as a safe haven; third, deal with the rampaging Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, recalling the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; in Hokuyo Ward, theorizes it could be the location of the Magius&#039; hidden base. Yachiyo approves Iroha and Sana to investigate this lead separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next several hours, the teams execute the plan. Yachiyo rescues Ren from a Black Feather and escorts her to Mitama&#039;s shop. Kaede Afinds Konomi protecting an injured Kako; together they defeat a Witch and get Kako to safety. Rena aids Asuka and Sasara, later teaming with Ria and Manaka to defeat a Witch. Momoko and Aimi rescue Kokoro and Masara from Feathers. Tsuruno works with Hinano to eliminate a Witch and warns her about the Feathers. Felicia fights alongside Akira and Nanaka&#039;s group, eventually reuniting with Tsuruno. Kanagi protects Himika from Feathers and sends her to Mitama&#039;s. Yachiyo and Kanagi also rescue Riko and Ayaka from Feather attacks and track the enemy to a heliport. Yachiyo, Kanagi, Momoko&#039;s team, and Tsuruno&#039;s team successfully clear the city of the powerful Witches and they rescue and guide numerous Magical Girls to Mitama&#039;s shop. Momoko confronts Mitama, challenging her to abandon her neutral stance and Mitama agrees to allow her shop to be used as a headquarters and to share her knowledge about the Magius&#039; plans.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama reveals the truth that Magical Girls are destined to become Witches, and that the Magius aim to use the energy from Embryo Eve to spread the Doppel phenomenon worldwide, preventing this fate. However, their methods involve sacrificing the citizens of Kamihama and other Magical Girls to gather this energy, so the Magical Girls at the shelter decide to join the fight against the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, in Chuo Ward, Yachiyo and Kanagi are ambushed by Mami and a horde of brainwashed Feathers at the Kamihama Central Tower heliport. The battle is difficult due to the Feathers&#039; numbers and Mami&#039;s enhanced power from the Uwasa. Kanagi reads Mami&#039;s mind and finds her personality has been completely overwritten by the Uwasa&#039;s influence, leaving only her devotion to the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia then arrive as reinforcements and during the fight, a Black Feather loses her &amp;quot;Receiver Pendant.&amp;quot; Kanagi reads this Feather&#039;s mind, uncovering that the Feathers&#039; berserk state is caused by the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Receiver Pendant,&amp;quot; which numbs their emotions and forces them to obey the Magius&#039; orders. The memory also reveals the three Magius orchestrating the attack to harvest emotional energy from the chaos, believing it will bring their utopia closer. The Feather who lost her pendant then begins to regain her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team battles the brainwashed Mami and the Wings of the Magius. With the help of Momoko&#039;s team and Kanagi&#039;s ability to read the enemy&#039;s weakness, they remove the Uwasa from Mami, freeing her from its control. Mami collapses from exhaustion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Homura pleads with Madoka and Sayaka not to go to Kamihama, fearing for their lives against Walpurgisnacht. After initial hesitation, Madoka and Sayaka resolve to go and Homura agrees to accompany them. The trio leaves for Kamihama but cannot contact Iroha Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Upon arriving in Kamihama, the three are attacked by brainwashed Black Feathers in Sakae Ward, but the Feathers suddenly regain their senses and flee. The trio pursues them into Central Ward and meets Kanoko Yayoi, Karin Misono, and Natsuki Utsuho. They learn that other Magical Girls are gathering at Mitama Yakumo&#039;s office and Karin reveals she saw Nanaka Tokiwa carrying an unconscious Mami there. The group goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds Mami, who has been freed from the Magius&#039; control and awakens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius then execute their plan: they cause a city-wide blackout and seize control of Kamihama&#039;s radio waves and power grid. They use Nemu&#039;s power to project a false utopia over the city, attracting Witches, and Touka&#039;s power to send a signal that summons the legendary Witch, Walpurgisnacht. Their goal is to use the chaos and emotional energy to hatch &amp;quot;Eve.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana infiltrate the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; Labyrinth, initially having their presence hidden due to Sana&#039;s unique magic. There, Iroha confronts Touka and Nemu, using the Uwasa itself as proof that her memories of their shared past with Ui are real. Despite this, Touka and Nemu don&#039;t believe her and refuse to halt their plans. Alina arrives, captures Iroha, and takes her to their main base, Hotel Fendt Hope. Afterwards, Sana escapes and informs Yachiyo&#039;s arriving team of Iroha&#039;s capture.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Mitama reveals she previously supplied the Wings with Grief Seeds in exchange for neutrality but has now chosen to side with Yachiyo&#039;s team against them. Mami herself awakens, now having reconciled with her inner turmoil. Now, Yachiyo&#039;s team, reinforced by Momoko&#039;s team and Mami, prepares to assault Hotel Fendt Hope to rescue Iroha and stop the Magius before Walpurgisnacht arrives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, freed from the Uwasa&#039;s influence, resolves to expose the Magius&#039; true plans to the Feathers and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka decide to support her instead of joining Iroha&#039;s group. Nanaka and her team escort them to the heliport and during the journey, Mami explains to Nanaka that the Feathers&#039; loyalty was placed not in the Magius themselves, but in Mifuyu Azusa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 9: Closing In on Fendt Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the heliport, Mami arrives where the exhausted Feathers and Kamihama Magical Girls are at a stalemate. She reveals the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice hundreds of civilians, including the Feathers&#039; own friends and family, to Walpurgisnacht. She also details their previous use of the Chelation Land Rumor for a similar purpose and the Feathers are shocked and dismayed. Some even accuse Mami of hypocrisy, which she does not deny.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Feathers split into two factions: one that still desires liberation at any cost and another that vows to protect Kamihama. A fight breaks out between them and Madoka and the others defend Mami, declaring their unwavering friendship. Moved, Mami asks the Feathers if they have anyone they trust unconditionally, as she now does, and the Feathers state they trust Mifuyu and demand to hear the truth from her directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami entrusts the Feathers to Nanaka&#039;s team, while she, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka then proceed to Hotel Fendthope to aid Iroha. On the way, Mami thanks her friends and asks them to rely on her as an equal ally and friend, not as a veteran. They arrive at the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Mitama is guarding the entrance. She confirms she is aware of Mami&#039;s past struggles and allows the group to pass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 16th==&lt;br /&gt;
* At Hotel Fendt Hope, Sana infiltrates the hotel to find Iroha and she overhears Feathers discussing Iroha&#039;s location and heads there. Iroha is held in a cell and, with her Soul Gem confiscated, she reflects on her memories of Ui, Touka, and Nemu and resolves to stop the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their plans and Alina demands Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem and body be brought to her. A weather report at the same time indicates the approach of Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana locates Iroha&#039;s cell, and she breaks Iroha out, but the act of breaking the cell door triggers an Uwasa, as the entire building is part of a Rumor. Sana defeats the Uwasa and as they flee, they are ambushed by Black Feathers. Kyoko Sakura, who was undergoing an orientation with the Feathers but decided against joining them, intervenes and helps defeat the attackers as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha explains the Magius&#039; goal is to summon Walpurgisnacht, and Kyoko reveals the Magius also plan to use Iroha, Mifuyu, and the Amane sisters as nourishment for &amp;quot;Eve,&amp;quot; the core of the system. Suddenly, Iroha collapses and stops breathing due to the distance from her Soul Gem. A Black Feather who pretended to be unconscious seizes Iroha&#039;s body and escapes with it, and Sana and Kyoko give chase.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team enters the Hotel Fendt Hope through the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth and they split into two teams: Yachiyo&#039;s group heads to the top floor to rescue Mifuyu and the Amane sisters, while Momoko&#039;s group searches for Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team finds Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa unconscious, their bodies separated from their Soul Gems. They quickly recover the Soul Gems, reviving the three, and Mifuyu confirms the Magius summoned Walpurgisnacht to provide energy to hatch Eve. Mifuyu and the Amane sisters renounce the Magius and join Yachiyo&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Iroha is transported by a Black Feather who reveals her motivation: her younger sister turned into a Witch, and she supports the Magius to prevent others from suffering the same fate. Momoko&#039;s team intercepts them and rescues Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko and Sana fight their way through the hotel and reunite with the main group. Momoko&#039;s team recovers a bag containing Iroha&#039;s, Mifuyu&#039;s, and the Amane sisters&#039; Soul Gems. A group of Feathers from the East confronts them but is persuaded by Kanagi to stand down, and they retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the teams reunited, the full coalition of Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, Kanagi, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Kyoko regroups. They possess all the stolen Soul Gems and are united in their goal to stop the Magius and confront Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team&#039;s path to the underground chapel is blocked and Mifuyu determines the magical building, a Rumor crafted by Nemu Hiiragi, has been reconfigured. Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa attempt to break the blockade, but a powerful magical wind erupts, separating the group. Mifuyu, the Amane sisters, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, and Kyoko are blown outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, Sana, Felicia, Tsuruno, and Kanagi remain inside and they defeat an Uwasa that attacks them. Mifuyu communicates from outside that they are locked out, and she devises a new plan: her group will gather other Kamihama Magical Girls to attack and destroy the Uwasa of Hotel Fendt Hope itself, which will collapse the building. She instructs Yachiyo&#039;s group to hurry to the underground chapel for safety before the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu&#039;s group fights off Witches released by Alina Gray as a defense measure. Mami, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka also arrive and assist them. After the battle, Mami convinces Mifuyu to address all the Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, and using the Amane sisters&#039; sound magic, Mifuyu broadcasts a telepathic message across Kamihama, revealing the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice civilians and summon Walpurgisnacht. She urges the Feathers to lay down their arms and prepare to fight the legendary Witch. Many Feathers also heed her call and defect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami then uses her magic to create a small opening in the building&#039;s barrier and enters Hotel Fendt Hope alone to rejoin Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kyoko is noted to be absent. Yachiyo&#039;s team searches for the entrance to the underground chapel and Mami reveals she concealed the entrance with her magic. She severs the ribbon hiding the path, officially breaking her ties with the Wings of the Magius and Mami then leaves to assist with the attack on the Uwasa of Fendt Hope outside. Kyoko meets Mami along the way and gives her a Grief Seed before they both exit the building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team then encounters false copies of Touka, Nemu, and Alina from the Mirror Witch&#039;s barrier; they realize the fakes speak differently and defeat them before continuing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, Mifuyu&#039;s group, now joined by Mami, Kyoko, and the Feathers who defected, attacks the Uwasa of Fendt Hope. Despite a coordinated assault, the Uwasa proves extremely resilient and withstands their combined power. The battle continues as the city-wide weather disaster escalates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team proceeds down a long staircase into a deep, dark underground area filled with strong magical impurities. Along the way, they are confronted by Mirror copies of themselves that voice their deepest insecurities, but each member overcomes their own doubts by relying on their friends. In the underground chapel, they find Alina, Nemu, and Touka waiting for them. At the back of the chapel, they see the massive, unhatched form of the Witch known as Embryo Eve. They reveal the full scope of their plan. They explain that Kyubey&#039;s true mission is to harvest the emotional energy of Magical Girls to counteract the universe&#039;s heat death. The cycle of hope and despair, culminating in a Magical Girl&#039;s transformation into a Witch, produces the necessary energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius intend to usurp this system. They plan to use the phase transition energy from Eve&#039;s transformation into a full Witch to create a permanent forcefield over Kamihama. This field would allow Magical Girls to release their impurities as Doppels instead of becoming Witches, and the energy would be fed back to the universe, making Kyubey and new Magical Girl contracts obsolete. The imminent arrival of Walpurgisnacht is a key part of their plan, as its destruction by Eve will provide the massive energy required.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Despite understanding the plan, Iroha and her team refuse to accept the Magius&#039; methods or their control over the future. The Magius argue that without their plan, Walpurgisnacht will destroy the city regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 2.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, the battle against the Uwasa of Fendt Hope continues. Realizing they are losing, Mifuyu uses a dangerous self-illusion to unleash all her magic at once in a final attack. She destroys the Uwasa but becomes incapacitated in the process as her Soul Gem starts breaking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the chapel, the destruction of the Uwasa causes Fendt Hope&#039;s Labyrinth to collapse, and the chapel is exposed to the outside as the building disappears. After the collapse of Hotel Fendt Hope, the teams reunite in the forest as the Labyrinth vanishes. Yachiyo learns that Mifuyu was severely injured destroying the Uwasa and was taken to Mitama for treatment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius appear with Embryo Eve, now freed from the chapel, and they prepare to fully release Eve so it can devour the approaching Walpurgisnacht. A battle ensues as the teams try to stop them and Iroha and Sana break through the defensive line of Familiars to attack Eve directly. Iroha&#039;s attack on Eve fails and Eve captures Iroha but does not harm her. A bright light emanates from Iroha, allowing Sana to rescue her. Sana reveals she possesses a branch from the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, which was not in bloom when she received it. The branch suddenly blossoms after Iroha touches Eve and Iroha realizes that Embryo Eve is her missing sister, Ui Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana confront Embryo Eve on Takayama Mountain and Iroha believes Eve is her sister, Ui Tamaki, but Eve breaks free from the mountain and begins to move toward Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama City, Walpurgisnacht approaches from the sea, accompanied by a massive horde of Familiars that begin to swarm the city. Magical Girl teams led by Hinano Miyako and Nanaka Tokiwa engage the Familiars along the coast to prevent widespread destruction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the ruins of Hotel Fendt Hope, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo bring the injured Mifuyu to Mitama Yakumo for emergency aid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Takayama Mountain, Iroha pleads with the combined Magical Girl forces not to kill Eve, revealing her belief that it is Ui. The Magius leaders and Alina retreat. Eve leaps into the sky, heading for Sankyo Ward in Kamihama. Yachiyo Nanami&#039;s team prepares to pursue Eve, while Madoka Kaname&#039;s group from Mitakihara heads to the coast to help defend against Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Magius headquarters, Touka and Nemu dismiss Iroha&#039;s claims about Ui, despite Nemu&#039;s private suspicions. Alina expresses interest in Iroha&#039;s memories but remains focused on Eve&#039;s hatching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Eve&#039;s arrival in Sankyo Ward, Mitama informs Iroha and the team that Ui&#039;s true body and Soul Gem are contained within Embryo Eve, which is a &amp;quot;Half-Witch.&amp;quot; To save Ui, they must defeat Eve&#039;s manifested form without destroying the Soul Gem and Mitama identifies a large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest as the core that maintains its form and its weak point. Mitama also treats the comatose Mifuyu, whose Soul Gem is critically cracked from overuse. Mitama stabilizes it but cannot fully heal her, and Tsukuyo and Tsukasa decide to rejoin the fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Eve rampages through Sankyo Ward, the combined Magical Girl teams attack Eve but find their assaults completely ineffective. Mitama, the Amane sisters, and other groups like Hinano Miyako&#039;s team regroup and they decide to consolidate their forces: one group will focus on defeating Eve, while the other prepares for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s landfall.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia readies her hammer and strikes Eve on the head with a magic‑powered blow, using her memory‑obliterating ability to confuse Eve and halt its advance; in the aftermath of the strike, a strange glow is visible near Eve&#039;s belly. Meanwhile, the Amane sisters relay the critical intelligence about Eve&#039;s red jewel weak point to Yachiyo&#039;s team. Eve begins to move toward Chuo Ward, and Sana proposes a plan to immobilize Eve so the team can target its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, the combined forces of Yachiyo&#039;s team, the Amane sisters, and other White Feathers execute a plan to immobilize Embryo Eve. They use chains from Sana&#039;s shield, spears, and plants to bind Eve to a large building and Iroha successfully strikes the large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest, its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eve retaliates by absorbing a massive vortex of impurities its Familiars had collected, causing its body to mutate and merge with the jewel. Iroha then sees a vision of Ui trapped within the core, reaffirming her resolve to save her, but the Magius arrive to protect Eve and ensure it consumes Walpurgisnacht. Iroha declares her intent to enter the gem to save Ui directly, and despite being severely injured, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia hold off the Magius, creating an opening for Iroha to advance toward Eve&#039;s core.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:10-19.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha reaches Ui&#039;s body but cannot shatter the gem surrounding it completely. Touka arrives at her side, and questions her motives. Iroha declares Ui is her sister and a precious friend to Touka and Nemu, and as Iroha reaches for Ui, the Embryo Eve attacks and Lil&#039; Kyubey intervenes and blocks the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu experience a flood of memories, recalling the original events. She remembers seeing Iroha with Kyubey in a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, learning about Magical Girls, and devising a plan with Ui and Nemu to usurp Kyubey&#039;s powers to create an automatic purification system and save all Magical Girls. Their plan failed when Ui&#039;s &amp;quot;harvest&amp;quot; ability went haywire upon her transformation, forcing Nemu to sever Ui&#039;s soul from her body and store it within the de-powered, small Kyubey to prevent her from becoming a Witch. This act erased Ui from the world&#039;s memory, as well as any traces of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Regaining their memories, Touka uses her stored energy to destabilize the Embryo Eve and Nemu uses her stories to restrain it. Iroha shatters Eve&#039;s central gem, and the small Kyubey releases Ui&#039;s soul. Ui awakens and reassures Touka and Nemu that she does not blame them for their shared decision. The Embryo Eve, now soulless, begins to decay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined Magical Girl forces, including Mami, Kyoko, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura, continue their battle against Walpurgisnacht in Chuo Ward. Despite their numbers, the Witch proves immensely powerful and resilient.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102304 mikage desire.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, a massive explosion of light and energy erupts from the location of the decaying Embryo Eve. The Eve has transformed into a new, stable form, and Touka deduces that Alina, who had previously shrunk the anti-Kyubey forcefield to contain the city&#039;s energy, has now wrapped that forcefield tightly around Eve. This action stabilized Eve&#039;s energy and prevented its decay, allowing Alina to control it as a tool for her art. Alina appears, now fused with an Uwasa in a manner similar to [[Holy Mami]], and declares her intent to use Eve to create her ultimate masterpiece, disregarding the goal of Magical Girl liberation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, as this is taking place, [[Mikage Yakumo]], Mitama&#039;s younger sister, is approached by Kyubey when the Barrier disappears. After he explains Mitama&#039;s wish to her, Mikage makes a wish of her own to undo the effects of Mitama&#039;s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Chapter 2: Smiles and Fireworks]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Holy Alina]] asserts that humanity subconsciously desires destruction and that she will use the Embryo Eve to fulfill this wish as her ultimate artwork. Kanagi confronts her own past desire to destroy the city due to its history of conflict but ultimately rejects Alina&#039;s path as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 nemu uwasa.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu, as the creator of Alina&#039;s Uwasa, takes responsibility. She uses the last of her life force to summon every Uwasa recorded in her book to attack Alina directly. The attack defeats Alina, making her disappear, but Nemu collapses, severely weakened and unable to move her legs, so White Feathers evacuate her to safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 eve user1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Embryo Eve, now uncontrolled, begins to rampage and targets Ui, attempting to reabsorb her. Lil&#039; Kyubey implies a solution: it will take Ui&#039;s place within Eve. Touka realizes that the small Kyubey, which contains Ui&#039;s former soul and Kyubey&#039;s original functions, possesses similar attributes to Eve. It is also incapable of becoming a Witch. Lil&#039; Kyubey merges with the Embryo Eve, causing it to release all orbs of light from its body, lading in different parts of Kamihama. The small Kyubey thus becomes the core of the &amp;quot;Automatic Purification System&amp;quot; that Touka, Ui, and Nemu originally envisioned, preventing Magical Girls from becoming Witches within Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival, the combined forces of Magical Girls, including the various teams from Kamihama and the team from Mitakihara, are on the verge of defeat. Homura and the others exhaust their weapons and energy in a desperate attempt to defeat it. They are exhausted, out of Grief Seeds, many are incapacitated, and despite their injuries and depleted resources, the girls refuse to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Last Magia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Walpurgisnacht prepares a massive attack that seems certain to annihilate them, an unknown, benevolent force envelops the Magical Girls. Iroha hears a mysterious voice and sees white feathers raining down, an experience shared by everyone on the battlefield. They all experience a sudden surge of energy and a feeling of being urged forward. This voice is from the Law of Cycles, who had been watching the timeline but not interfering with it. The feathers rejuvenate the group, lifting their spirits and empowering them to continue fighting; their strength is restored, and even the injured find themselves able to fight again. With morale returned, they rally together for one final, united assault, redirecting Walpurgisnacht to Kaihin Park using a coordinated strategy with their unique magical abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined forces of Magical Girls coordinate their unique magics to combat Walpurgisnacht: &lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Natsuki Utsuho initiate the counterattack by using their Encouragement and Cheering magic to boost the morale and power of all allies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seizing this surge of energy, the team implements a complex strategy to control the battlefield. First, Felicia, Meiyui Chun, and Rika Ayano use their Memory Erasure, Persuasion, and Mind-Altering magic to disorient Walpurgisnacht and force it to change course toward the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** To precisely guide the Witch to the intended battleground, Tsuruno, Riko Chiaki, and Emiri Kisaki then use their Good Luck, Luring, and Charm magic, successfully leading Walpurgisnacht to the beachfront park while evading its attacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Once there, the focus shifts to immobilizing the colossal foe. Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Asuka Tatsuki use their Flute Blossom Resonance and Action Control magic in an attempt to halt Walpurgisnacht&#039;s movement entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When it retaliates, Himika Mao diverts its attacks, creating an opening for Kanagi Izumi, who, with a power boost from Mitama&#039;s Coordination, attacks it directly to stun it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** This creates the crucial opening for a full restraint, and Mami, Kanoko Yayoi, and Kaede use Ribbon Binding, Stitching, and Plant magic to ensnare the Witch, which Rena amplified by using her Transformation magic to transform into Kaede and double the restraining power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Walpurgisnacht finally immobilized, Nanaka organizes their forces while Hazuki Yusa and Akira Shinobu identify its weak point with their magic, a gear connected to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire group then launch a coordinated, all-out assault, with offensive magics like Hinano Miyako&#039;s Chemical Explosions leading the charge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout the final attack, Kokoro Awane, Ayame Mikuri, and Konoha Shizumi provide vital defense with their Wall Creation, Safeguarding, and Fog Generation magic, protecting the assault team and ensuring their united strike could land.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Realizing their combined assault was not enough to deliver a final blow, the Magical Girls regroup and to ensure they could act as one perfect unit, Reira Ibuki uses her Purifying Flame to heal their wounds and replenish their energy, while Mito Aino uses her Heart-Linking magic to synchronize their hearts and minds, allowing their resolve to become perfectly aligned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With their spirits united, they form a new strategy and Konomi Haruna uses her magic to force their Fighting Spirit to Bloom, amplifying their collective potential, while Kako Natsume uses her Event Reproduction magic to reinforce the gathered energy, and Ren Isuzu enacts her Nirvana magic to ensure the attack would bring permanent rest to the Witch if successful.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The plan to create a final weapon then commences. Ui uses her Harvest magic to gather the hope and magical energy from every single Magical Girl on the battlefield. She passes this immense energy to Touka, who used her Conversion magic to condense it all into a single, concentrated mass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* This mass of collective hope is then entrusted to Yachiyo, whose unique magic of Inheritance allows her to embody and control the power. She and Iroha shape this energy into a gigantic, radiant arrow aimed at the weak point that had been identified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they prepared to fire, Walpurgisnacht launches an attack to free itself from their binds. In that moment, Homura activates her Time-Stop, and touches Iroha, allowing her to move within the suspended time and take aim unimpeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the path clear, Iroha releases the arrow and strikes the central gear with overwhelming force. As time resumed, the arrow consumed Walpurgisnacht in a brilliant explosion, finally ending the calamity and clearing the sky over Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102005 magicalgirl3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura reflects that she has finally surpassed this battle after countless timelines, and Madoka expresses relief that no more people will suffer from Walpurgisnacht. The girls in Kamihama also celebrate their hard-earned victory, despite the fact that many are injured and exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Epilogue==&lt;br /&gt;
* Some days after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, Iroha and Ui see their parents off at the airport as they leave for their overseas assignment. Iroha and Ui then return to Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama City, where Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana welcome them back. Mifuyu is also present, as Iroha was able to use her magic to repair Mifuyu&#039;s damaged Soul Gem, allowing her to recover. Later that day, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Kanagi, and Mitama visit Mikazuki Villa as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, [[Ultimate Madoka]], a being who identifies as a record-keeper of all universes reflects on the new timeline centered on Kamihama. She states she intervened one last time by sending a &amp;quot;rain of feathers&amp;quot; to empower the Magical Girls but will now only observe, fearing further direct interference could damage this fragile new reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu organize a meeting for all Magical Girls involved in the recent conflict to discuss the actions of the Wings of the Magius and the future fate of all Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu visit the Eternal Sakura. The Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura congratulates them on finally being together as friends and Nemu, who now uses a wheelchair, accepts her condition as a consequence of her past actions. Iroha briefly wonders about the whereabouts of the small Kyubey that once accompanied her, and then meet Lil&#039; Kyubey in the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After some days, Homura reflects on their victory. Despite saving Madoka and defeating Walpurgisnacht, she feels uncertain. The fundamental curse of Magical Girls becoming Witches remains, and she questions if this timeline is truly the best outcome. At school, Mami informs the group about recent disappearances and people getting lost, which they attribute to a new Witch. They devise a plan to track it by mapping the incidents. Kyoko arrives from Kazamino, also hunting the same Witch, and a tense alliance forms.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: The Place We Finally Reached]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group splits into teams to search the area Mami identified. Madoka notices Homura&#039;s preoccupation and reassures her. The teams locate the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and coordinate their attack. During the battle, Homura fears for her friends&#039; safety, but they work together effectively. Kyoko and Sayaka create an opening for Mami and Madoka to deliver the final blow, while Homura evacuates the Witch-Kissed civilians.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Kyoko gives the Grief Seed to Mami and Sayaka declares she has no regrets about becoming a Magical Girl, valuing the power to protect and the friends she has made. This prompts Mami to reconcile with Kyoko, asking to be true friends who help each other when needed again, to which Kyoko agrees. Madoka then states she is also glad she became a Magical Girl, expressing faith in the future because of her friends. This resolve causes Homura to weep with joy, finally believing this timeline, where they face their fate together, could be the one she sought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group, including Kyoko, shares a meal at a pancake restaurant. They discuss an upcoming meeting in Kamihama to address the Magius&#039; actions. While Kyoko opts not to attend, the others plan to update her later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 04 00 0042 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One Saturday, Mami volunteers to help clean the damage done by the Magius incident and Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura go along as well. During it, a Witch attacks and a Magical Girl they were helping unleashes a Doppel. They defeat the Witch and the girl falls unconscious, so Mami takes her to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After stabilizing her, Mami asks Mitama to help her face her own Doppel and she guides Mami to look within. Mami meets her Doppel and it tries to convince her to forget the past, yet Mami refuses and proclaims that she accepts the Doppel as part of herself. Mami then wakes up, thanking everyone and says they will build the future together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cherry Blossom Dreams===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, the Eternal Sakura completed her duties as an Uwasa when her tree came into full bloom. Her Rumor was rewritten and she was connected to Touka&#039;s server, reborn as an Uwasa with ample knowledge who would later be named Sakurako. Around this time, Yachiyo received a message asking what should be done about the six ringleaders of the Magius—Touka Satomi, Nemu Hiiragi, Mifuyu Azusa, Mitama Yakumo, Tsukuyo Amane, and Tsukasa Amane. Nemu proposed rewriting the Eternal Sakura to serve as an impartial judge. They designed three trials: the first to analyze crimes and calculate a verdict, the second to survey all Magical Girls, and the third to reach a final decision based on responses. Punishments ranged from monitoring to destruction of the Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the first trial, Sakurako sentenced Touka and Nemu to the maximum penalty. Mifuyu received power revocation, reduced from maximum due to testimony that she helped destroy Fendt Hope. Mitama received conditional power revocation, allowed to transform only for Coordinator work. The Amane sisters received power restriction. After the trial, Touka and Nemu remained calm, thanking everyone. Yachiyo noted they had intentionally omitted their ages from consideration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Nemu and Sakurako wait at a train station with others. Nearby girls whisper about Nemu, recognizing her as one of the Magius and questioning why she faces no punishment. Ui argues with Iroha about using the Stardust Time Viewer, while Touka pushes through the crowd, disheveled from navigating the train alone. The three girls reunite, each feeling it is a dream. Touka sends Ui a photo of the map they created together in the hospital. The group travels to the mall, where Ui finally visits the croquette shop she always wanted to try, and they share plates to taste each other&#039;s orders. From there, they take a rickshaw to Mizuna Shrine, where they briefly encounter Tsukuyo and Tsukasa, who quickly hurry away. The group buys prayer plaques, though most hesitate at the cost until a shrine attendant suggests writing prayers on the back of their fortunes instead. Iroha wishes for all Magical Girls to get along, while Touka and Nemu write their own wishes. They argue over where to go next—Touka wants a lookout point in Hokuyo Ward, but Ui resists rushing. Sakurako suggests they also face reality, so they head to Central Ward, still scarred from Walpurgisnacht and Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui admits she used the library as an excuse to bring them here, hoping the Stardust Time Viewer would show them a hopeful future. Nemu summons the Rumor, transporting them to a star-filled space. The Viewer shows Iroha&#039;s future: a world where the Doppel system has expanded globally and all Magical Girls coexist peacefully. Iroha feels embarrassed, but Sakurako assures her the wish is beautiful. When Ui asks to see her own future, the Viewer has nothing to show. Ui realizes this means Touka and Nemu are absent from Iroha&#039;s future and accuses them of planning to die. The vision fades, returning them to the rubble of Central Ward. Touka and Nemu admit they believe they should die for their crimes, pointing to the destruction around them, the Feathers they manipulated, and the innocent people hurt. Sakurako confirms she knew this all along. Ui slaps them both, demanding they consider how she feels. Nemu explains they wanted to do what they could while they still had time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second trial begins. No surveys have arrived. Sakurako agrees to wait one hour. Yachiyo and others leave to retrieve them. Mifuyu confronts Touka and Nemu, asking if they sabotaged the surveys. They admit they did, altering the date so the surveys would not arrive in time. They wanted to be judged and sentenced to death to spare Ui from the hatred directed at them. Ui refuses to accept this. She and Iroha transform to protect them. The hour ends and Sakurako moves to deliver punishment. Iroha and Ui hold her back as Mifuyu and Mitama join the defense. The Amane sisters attack Sakurako with their flutes, accepting heavier sentences. Iroha realizes they can use photos of the surveys as evidence. Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s phones begin chiming with images from Yachiyo and the others. Iroha begs Sakurako to accept the evidence. Sakurako confirms the surveys are real and delays the trial, requiring them to arrive by day&#039;s end. The surveys show Magical Girls believe Touka and Nemu should be punished, but not killed. Some suggest atonement, rehabilitation, or mentorship. Reading the responses, Touka and Nemu weep, but Ui weeps with joy. Based on the surveys, sentences are reduced. Touka and Nemu receive monitoring with transformation-prevention bracelets, while Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s sentences are reduced to monitoring. The Amane sisters are found not guilty and Feathers who revealed themselves have their cases dismissed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the group gathers. Touka and Nemu wear their bracelets. Sakurako serves drinks. Mifuyu asks about tutoring Touka in exchange for help with pharmacy school. Nemu will rely on Sakurako for mobility on difficult days. Tsuruno suggests welcoming them as the Brains of Kamihama. In the kitchen, Sakurako hugs Touka and Nemu, then Iroha and Ui. She tells them she loves them. The days she always dreamed of have arrived. The real spring can finally begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocolatier in Mirror Country===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro, Masara, Konomi, Asuka and Sasara gather at Manaka&#039;s place to plan their charity bazaar booth. Kokoro and Masara participate to help Himika&#039;s family without making it obvious, while Asuka and Sasara join to invite a lonely girl named Chi whose father died. Konomi&#039;s booth was invited directly due to her popular Valentine&#039;s bouquets. They agree on a collaboration between Walnuts and Blossom the florist, dividing tasks among themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Warming Valentine]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Manaka&#039;s father&#039;s help, Kokoro and Masara make bear-shaped chocolates. Asuka recruits dojo volunteers, Sasara invites Chi and designs leaflets, and Konomi prepares bouquets with Izayoi&#039;s help decorating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the bazaar, adults receive bouquets with donation and children get free chocolates. Chi and her mother visit happily. Himika initially refuses chocolate but accepts after realizing her siblings want it, and they enjoy the day together. The event succeeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later at a celebration party, Sasara and Kokoro feel their efforts changed nothing. Masara scolds them for impatience, explaining kindness takes time. Kanagi and Asuka arrive with good news that Himika&#039;s family is making White Day gifts, and Chi&#039;s mother now calls daily. Relieved, they enjoy the party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Valentine&#039;s Day, girls give chocolates to loved ones. Sasara gives to her father, Asuka to her cousin, and Konomi to her aunt. Masara and Kokoro exchange chocolates at their favorite spot, and Kokoro tearfully reconciles with her parents. Elsewhere, Rena and Tsukuyo each struggle to give chocolates to Kaede and Tsukasa. Following a rumor, they separately pray at a radio tower, accidentally encounter each other, and successfully give their chocolates when Kaede and Tsukasa also arrive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, in Mitakihara, Nagisa bakes a chocolate cake with Mami while feeling that something is wrong, as her memories feel hazy and she seems more childish than she should be. She realizes her memories of being longtime friends with Mami are false, yet she recognizes that the warmth she feels is what she has always wanted. When they finish the cake, a Witch that looks like a younger version of Nagisa steals it, and they chase it into a mirror, finding themselves in a transformed version of the Mirror Witch&#039;s Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Chocolatier in Mirror Country]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They encounter Madoka and Homura trapped in a time loop illusion, free them, and learn that Sayaka and Kyoko went ahead and are now missing. They find Sayaka and Kyoko trapped in a competition for a magical cake, so Mami and Nagisa enter and win by choosing a song they both know well. Using the cake&#039;s wishes, they reunite the group and defeat the attacking Witch. Nagisa realizes she has two sets of memories and deduces the chocolate-loving Witch is an alternate version of herself who wished for chocolate cake instead of cheesecake. This Witch has been consuming the Labyrinth&#039;s power and attracting Witches from parallel worlds through mirror gates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The little Witch steals the cake again, and during the chase, Nagisa and Mami become separated in a dark fog. A poem warns them not to open their eyes or they will lose each other, but Nagisa&#039;s self-doubt overwhelms her. Remembering losing her mother and everyone else, she convinces herself Mami is not really there, opens her eyes, and is consumed by the Witch. The group fights through countless gates to find her and engages the master Witch. Inside, Mami finds Nagisa, hugs her tightly, and promises they will always be friends because of the future they will share, not false memories. Nagisa finally believes her, and the cake is returned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group realizes that even with the master Witch defeated, other Witches have taken its place, so they must clear them all to restore the Labyrinth. They commit to finishing the job together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Labyrinth is cleared, they gather at Mami&#039;s apartment for a chocolate party where Nagisa officially gives Mami the cake. They play poker with chocolate coins to decide how to share the remaining half, and Mami wins, but she divides the cake equally among all six. Everyone agrees it is the best cake in the universe. Nagisa thanks Mami, and Mami welcomes her warmly, calling her a little chocolatier and a lovely new addition to their circle of friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Kamihama, that night, Tsukuyo finds Rena praying at the Chuo Ward radio tower, having both read an online article claiming that twenty minutes of prayer there ensures successful apologies to loved ones. Tsukuyo confesses she hurt her twin sister Tsukasa by rejecting their Valentine&#039;s plans after failing at homemade chocolate, while Rena admits she snapped at Kaede and claimed she had no chocolate for her after Kaede had given her some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The 14th Day Where I Can&#039;t Be Honest]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their conversation is interrupted when Tsukasa and Kaede suddenly appear, having anticipated their partners would come here to apologize. Tsukasa assures Tsukuyo she was not upset and would treasure any chocolate from her, urging her to be easier on herself. Kaede forgives Rena and asks simply for her to be more honest. Together, the two pairs exchange Valentine&#039;s wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany===&lt;br /&gt;
* Walpurgisnacht&#039;s attack on Kamihama City caused massive damage to Chuo Ward, which the public believes was a natural disaster. Only Magical Girls know the truth and privately, Mitama reflects that the victory gave her hope, but she wonders if the destruction she once wished for can be defied.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0008 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after Walpurgisnacht, Mitama realizes Doyle has not visited her shop and the last saw him the day before Walpurgisnacht. She assumes the storm made him too scared to go out, so she decides to close her shop and search for him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama looks around the vacant land near her shop and a girl named Ritsumi offers to help. Ritsumi’s cat Arthur ran away before, so she knows where cats hide. They search but find nothing and Ritsumi says Arthur now lives with her grandpa. Mitama realizes Ritsumi is the daughter of the neighbor who owns Arthur and Mitama had mistaken Arthur for Doyle and that Ritsumi has never actually seen Doyle. They end the day without clues and Mitama sends a message to the Magical Girls’ group chat asking if anyone has seen a white tabby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama knocks on the neighbor’s door and Ritsumi’s mother answers. She explains that Arthur was sent away two weeks ago to Ritsumi’s grandpa. Mitama realizes that no one knows where Doyle came from. Ritsumi’s mother promises to keep an eye out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana, Asuka, and others from Mizuna Girls’ Academy saw Mitama’s group chat post and they arrive to help. More volunteers soon arrive: Kaede, Kako, Rena, Konoha’s team, and others. They split up to cover Shinsei Ward and Mitama notes that no one else has ever seen Doyle. Konoha says she never saw a cat at Mitama’s shop. Rena also asks for a photo, but Mitama has none.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds Ritsumi near the bus stop and they search door to door. No one in the neighborhood has seen a white tabby kitten either. Ritsumi says she has read all “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” books and that her favorite is “Invisible Epiphany,” about a detective searching for a lost child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko meets Mitama alone. Momoko says she never saw Doyle and neither did Tsukasa or the other girls. Mitama remembers talking to Doyle in front of them, but they saw no cat ither. Momoko suggests a Rumor is involved, as all Rumors disappeared after the fight with the Magius, except the Eternal Sakura. Coincidentally, Doyle disappeared at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls Nemu, who is still in the hospital and Nemu explains that Doyle was part of the Rumor of the Cat Detective. The Rumor possesses detective novel lovers, detects signs of a case, gets the detective involved, and guarantees a solution. Nemu explains she erased almost all Rumors, including this one. Mitama thinks Doyle disappeared because the Rumor was destroyed and she had solved four cases with Doyle’s help, yet the fifth never began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama re-reads her case files and each one has an opening paragraph she does not remember writing. The first case file hints at Hanna Sarasa. The second hints at Tsukasa. The third and fourth also name the culprits. Mitama realizes Doyle left those hints, and Nemu says the Rumor did not cause incidents, only detected them, so those incidents would have happened anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0009 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Kamihama slowly returns to order. Mitama notes that she cannot rely on Doyle anymore and she hopes she does not get any new cases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui and the Eternal Sakura visit Mitama to deliver a lampshade from Yachiyo. Ui says a girl from her school has gone missing and Mitama is shocked to learn the girl is Ritsumi, who did not come home after school yesterday and the police are investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama goes to the bus stop near her shop and finds Ritsumi’s mother. The mother says Ritsumi likely went to Hokuyo Ward to see her grandpa and Arthur. Ritsumi’s parents are separated and her father lives with his parents in Hokuyo Ward. The mother believes Ritsumi wanted to visit them, but the bus route to Hokuyo was suspended after the disaster but has resumed, bypassing Chuo Ward. Soon, Himika calls Mitama. Himika saw a girl matching Ritsumi’s description waiting at the Shinsei Ward bus stop yesterday, reading a book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi arrive and Momoko explains she has been investigating at school. Ritsumi transferred to Kamihama University Affiliated School six months ago after her parents separated and she moved into the building next to Mitama’s shop. Momoko explains Arthur went to live with her father in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo Ward. Mitama realizes the conflicting information: Arthur was first in Chuo Ward, then evacuated to the grandpa’s house in Hokuyo after the disaster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Satomi Medical Center, Nemu discusses the case with Eternal Sakura. Nemu recalls the hidden hints in Mitama’s case files. The last words of each hint spell “Lost Through Time Eternal,” which is the title of volume 12 of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” In that story, a girl runs away to her old home. Nemu deduces that Ritsumi went to her old apartment in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo. She likely got off at the nearest bus stop and walked into the restricted zone, then she had an accident.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Momoko, and Kanagi search the area near the old apartment and they hear a voice. Ritsumi had fallen into an old underground passage and sprained her ankle. She lost track of time and had no phone. Mitama explains she remembered the Doyle book and Ritsumi admits she was copying the girl in the story as she wanted to see the area where she grew up. The three quickly rescue her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ritsumi is taken to a hospital and also discharged quickly. Her parents agree to let her visit both of them and Arthur whenever she likes. Mitama reflects that Doyle gave her confidence and the city she cursed is still standing, so she dares to believe in hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Momoko finally holds the Coordinator Thank-You Party that was postponed earlier and Rena and Kaede thank Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui reads &amp;quot;The Happy Prince&amp;quot; and reflects on her uncertain purpose as a Magical Girl. While walking, she stops Kyubey from contracting a girl outside Kamihama, explaining she cannot let anyone else suffer the fate of becoming a Witch. When Kyubey asks what he should do instead, she has no answer. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia tells Ui she is overthinking things and should focus on her upcoming combat test. Iroha and Yachiyo serve dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno gives Ui an enthusiastic pep talk for her live combat test. To remain in Kamihama, Ui must detect and eliminate a Witch alone—the same test Yachiyo gave Iroha when she first arrived. Yachiyo admits the test may be unfair and offers to let Ui choose a partner. With Iroha busy helping Kanagi, Ui chooses Momoko. They depart together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui struggles to sense the Witch&#039;s magic, so they search Mizuna Ward where young women gather. They encounter a Familiar and follow it to a Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After defeating it, Felicia suddenly appears, attacks them, and runs away. Tsuruno gives chase and tackles her. Felicia&#039;s oblivion magic has erased their memory of the Familiar&#039;s pattern, so they cannot track the Witch. Momoko requests a pause, but Yachiyo refuses, stating unexpected events happen in real combat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia admits she interfered because she is jealous that Ui receives everyone&#039;s attention while she struggled alone as a mercenary. Yachiyo explains that Felicia&#039;s past does not justify making others unhappy. Meanwhile, Ui cheers up after eating crepes with Momoko and resolves to continue. As sunset approaches, they search Sakae Ward but find nothing. Yachiyo offers to bring a Familiar for them to retrack, but it disappears before they arrive. Ui suggests checking Hokuyo Ward on a hunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Hokuyo Ward, Ui senses a different Witch&#039;s magical reaction. They follow Witch-kissed people up a mountain toward a labyrinth. At Yachiyo&#039;s house, the others realize Ui failed the test since Yachiyo had to eliminate the original Witch herself, though Yachiyo will allow a retake. They notice Felicia smiling and suspect she interfered again. Rena confesses she helped Felicia erase the hint because she understood Felicia&#039;s jealousy. Tsuruno says the only person who deserves an apology is Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the mountain, Ui and Momoko enter the Witch&#039;s barrier against Momoko&#039;s better judgment. They fight through Familiars but become trapped and cannot escape. The Witch overwhelms them. Yachiyo and the others arrive and join the fight, but Familiars overwhelm them too. Iroha arrives at the last moment to defend Ui. Ui proposes using her ability to harvest impurities, purifying everyone&#039;s Soul Gems so they can fight at full strength. She will temporarily become a Witch, but the Doppel system will contain it. She absorbs the impurities, and the others destroy the Witch while Ui struggles with the darkness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui unleashes her Doppel and meets her Doppel self, who accuses her of wanting punishment and being jealous of others while trapped in the hospital. Ui nearly agrees to let the Doppel consume her but refuses, recognizing it as the easy way out. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words about taking responsibility and confronting the situation honestly. She accepts her wrongs and her true feelings, realizing this difficult path will bring true happiness. The Doppel admits she is right. Iroha wakes Ui at Mitama&#039;s clinic, where she has been unconscious for some time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama checks on Ui after her first Doppel release. Felicia apologizes for her interference and says she thinks Ui is cool. Rena also apologizes for helping Felicia. Ui accepts their apologies and compliments them both, asking Felicia to teach her things. Rena and Felicia feel terrible for how they treated someone so kind. Later that evening at Yachiyo&#039;s house, everyone celebrates Ui passing her test—though she did not defeat the assigned Witch, she tracked a Witch, stayed calm, used her intelligence, and performed better than expected. Ui tells Iroha she now knows what she wants to do as a Magical Girl. Iroha decides to work with other Kamihama Magical Girls to find a way to free them all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui and Iroha encounter Kyubey outside Kamihama attempting another contract and stop him. Kyubey asks what their goal is. They explain they plan to fight and find a way to coexist with Kyubey—if they can expand Kamihama&#039;s miracle globally, Magical Girls can live happily while providing the energy Kyubey needs. Kyubey welcomes the idea if it avoids conflict but warns that Magical Girls worldwide are not as unified as those in Kamihama. Ui wonders how much happiness she can give to the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tart / Darc Magica===&lt;br /&gt;
* Through Minou&#039;s spell from 15th-century France, Ui is pulled into the past, with her phone acting as her Soul Gem and Blank Prophecy, with the power to restore the past&#039;s real history.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rebel of a Dawnless Land]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning from the past, Ui finds herself in an antique store, still surrounded by magic bubbles though no memory of what occured. On the floor are the two candles and the old book. She feels they are important but cannot remember why, so she puts them on store shelves before falling asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui wakes up at Mikazuki Villa. Her phone rings with a text of Nemu asking if she knows any charms, as Mitama has been really into them lately. Ui says she knows a charm for good dreams requiring red and blue candles. Nemu asks where she heard about it and Ui isn&#039;t sure but says it was in 15th-century France. Nemu is fascinated and promises to research it. Later, Ui scrolls through her phone and finds a photo she doesn&#039;t recognize with girls she doesn&#039;t know. She begins crying without understanding why and Iroha finds her and hugs her tightly. Suddenly Ui remembers Darc&#039;s final words. She turns to her sister and tells her, &amp;quot;Let&#039;s have a wonderful future together.&amp;quot; Iroha agrees. Ui calms down and heads home to prepare for a slumber party with Nemu and Touka. Iroha, running errands, decides to stop by Mitama&#039;s place afterward. Mitama greets her warmly, mentioning she just learned an interesting little charm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That day, Iroha visits Mitama, who gives her and Yachiyo antique candles for a sweet dream spell. That night, they light the candles and drift off to sleep together, where they&#039;re pulled into the nightmare of Jeanne d&#039;Arc in April 29th, 1429.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Maiden of Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next morning, Yachiyo reveals she had the same dream. They call Mitama, who is surprised they had nightmares instead of sweet dreams. They decide to try the candles again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Kamihama plunged into darkness and all non-Magical Girls vanished. Their Soul Gems have consumed magic in the real world despite no injuries. Realizing the dream affects reality, they decide to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a lot of fighting, they awaken and prepare for the final battle. In this journey they discover that they&#039;d been traveling to Darc&#039;s dream, and if Darc despairs completely, she will turn into a Witch and trigger a catastrophe affecting the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Felicia and Sana gone and Kamihama empty. Breaking into Mitama&#039;s shop, they find a grimoire revealing the candles were made with Darc&#039;s hair, creating a connection to her dream. They return with the book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They finally awaken at Mikazuki Villa to sunshine and normalcy. Felicia demands steak for dinner. Consulting a history book, they read that on May 7th, 1429, Jeanne d&#039;Arc fought at Tourelles after waking from a dream. The battle was fierce but Orléans was liberated. Iroha notices a portrait in the book showing them in their Magical Girl outfits standing beside Jeanne d&#039;Arc.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at Mitama&#039;s shop, Yachiyo recounts everything. Mitama mentions the spell became widespread in France during Jeanne d&#039;Arc&#039;s era. Iroha realizes Melissa must have spread it after learning it from them in the dream. The use of red and blue candles was too specific to be coincidence. Iroha&#039;s head spins trying to figure out where the spell originated. Yachiyo notes the grimoire never mentioned the candle setup, so the spell just circled around and around. They will never know for certain whether they changed history or were always part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* During their slumber party, Ui, Touka, and Nemu encounter a massive witch, [[Crépuscule de La Reine]]. Touka and Nemu vanish, leaving Ui and Sakurako to face it alone. The witch is unaffected by their attacks and disappears, taking Ui with it into 15th-century France once more, this time in the realm of Purgatory which Minou created. With Pernelle&#039;s help, Ui is soon able to also summon Iroha and Yachiyo there as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;endofalegendthelimitsoflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - End of a Legend, the Limits of Light]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Lil&#039; Kyubey and Ui&#039;s phone as the Blank Prophecy are pulled as &amp;quot;If Factors&amp;quot; into the world of Holy Maiden Academy, which Minou created and maintained for six hundred years after being given a Philosopher&#039;s Stone after Isabeau&#039;s death. However, after her plans are thwarted by the &amp;quot;what if&amp;quot; version of Melissa, he returns and wakes in the real world, where Iroha and Ui assure him it was just a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;counc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Masked Student Council Strikes Back]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Voices from Beyond, Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a year after Voices from Beyond, Part 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With peace restored in Kamihama, Yachiyo visits a flower shop to buy flowers for Mel&#039;s grave, still haunted by never defeating Mel&#039;s Witch. She unexpectedly encounters Mifuyu and Mel&#039;s mother, who reassures them Mel was happy because of their love. Walking toward the cemetery, Yachiyo and Mifuyu are engulfed by the barrier of the Witch Etteilla—Mel&#039;s Witch. They struggle against both the Witch and their own fears: Mifuyu fears defeating it means forgetting Mel, while Yachiyo fears losing anyone else. Remembering the ghosts&#039; encouragement, Yachiyo convinces Mifuyu they must move forward because Mel and Kanae wanted them to. They defeat the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mel&#039;s grave, they place flowers and the Grief Seed from the Witch, hoping her soul has finally found peace. They silently promise to keep moving forward. Mifuyu wonders if Mel&#039;s Witch appeared to give them a push, and they smile, repeating Mel&#039;s favorite phrase: all things happen when they must. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to see the belongings Mel and Kanae left behind, and Mifuyu gladly accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One weekend, Rui ropes Seira into attending Kamiket, a convention for sharing and selling fan-made media in Kamihama. The two became close friends after discovering they are both Magical Girls, and because Seira is the only one who knows about Rui&#039;s embarrassing secret: a heavy case of chuuni-byo. Rui agreed to bring Seira on the condition that only the two of them would go, ensuring nobody else discovered her secret.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the day of the convention, Rui cannot contain her excitement and slips into character, declaring the convention her sanctuary and the catalog guidebook as Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Her main objective is to purchase the newest installment of her favorite indie game series and meet its creator, MacQueen. On the way to the booth, she accidentally bumps into a stranger who seems irritated about someone not being at the convention yet. When she arrives, the booth attendants inform her that someone has been using counterfeit money, and worse, MacQueen himself is missing. Rui&#039;s imagination immediately conjures a grand conspiracy, but the criminal is soon caught and MacQueen calls to say he overslept. Relieved, Rui takes a photo with the booth girls, but as the picture is taken, chills run down her spine as she senses someone glaring at her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rui dismisses it as her imagination and continues exploring with Seira. Remembering the booth numbers hit by counterfeit money, she realizes they spell the chemical formula for Ricin, a lethal poison. Her imagination ignites again, convincing her that the real attack will come through poisoned food from outside vendors. She rushes them outside to stop the attack, but everyone seems fine, and her Magical Girl ability, which lets her see how close someone is to death, reveals nobody is in danger. Ashamed, she realizes her imagination finally got the best of her and apologizes to Seira. They decide to get lunch, and Rui opens her laptop to install her new game. The screen is black, and in the reflection she sees her own face. Her magic reveals she herself is now close to death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Remembering the chills from earlier, Rui checks the photo and finds the man from earlier glaring at her in the background. She rushes back to the booth to warn the girls, who recognize the man as Miranda, a popular content creator. As they discuss this, MacQueen finally arrives, and Rui sees he is the closest to death&#039;s door, with Miranda also marked. She confronts Miranda, who confesses he intended to kill MacQueen over an alternate ending in the latest game that suggested his favorite sub-heroine may have had a former lover. He pulls out a gun he secretly printed with a smuggled 3D printer. Just as he is about to shoot, Rui shows him a cutscene on her laptop, which is the second part of the alternate ending, unlocked only after clearing the entire game, revealing the sub-heroine fabricated the story to protect the user character. Miranda realizes his mistake and surrenders to security. After the incident, Seira asks if Rui was scared. Rui reveals she always wears chainmail under her clothes and also carried a heavy blunt object for protection, the magically enhanced Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Seira decides to pretend she did not hear that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 11:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura writes in her diary as she and her friends take an air-conditioned express train to the beach for summer vacation. They buy ice cream and enjoy the ride.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Beachside Bonds]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls arrive at their destination, a seaside inn run by Sayaka&#039;s relatives who had a sudden cancellation. Sayaka complains about the heat as they walk to the inn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Sayaka&#039;s aunt shows them to their rooms and warns them not to get lost in the surrounding forest. Outside, two young girls who live at the inn approach Madoka. They ask if she knows someone named Kei, who is looking for someone named Yu. They warn Madoka not to talk to Kei and that she should hold still if Kei enters her room. The girls then leave. Homura suggests Kei might be a cat. They agree to tell the others as Kyoko passes by already in her swimsuit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, the girls play volleyball. Mami spikes the ball hard and hits Homura in the face. They stop the game and Mami frets over Homura. Madoka suggests they rest in the shade while Mami buys something cold. Madoka then suggests they collect pine cones from nearby trees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the forest, a cat appears and leads them deeper into the trees. It guides them to a small shrine, where Homura finds an old notebook. She reads entries from April 20, June 24, August 3, and August 6, all detailing the author&#039;s complicated feelings for someone named Kei. Madoka tells her to put it back without reading further. When they turn around, the cat is gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the beach, Sayaka shares a rumor from the beach house: a girl fell off a nearby cliff years ago and died, and her spirit is reportedly seen rising from the ocean between two and three a.m. Mami shrieks in fear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Kyoko teases Mami about being scared. The conversation turns to ghosts and Kyoko compares them to how normal people might perceive Witches. Madoka feels relieved and tells Sayaka about the twin girls. Sayaka plans to ask them about any pets later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After an Italian dinner, the girls light fireworks on the beach. Kyoko bumps into Hinano Miyako, who doesn&#039;t recognize her but does recognize her Soul Gem ring. Ren Isuzu finds Hinano, followed by Emiri Kisaki and Rika Ayano. The groups combine for fireworks. Emiri admits she used a little magic to help everyone relax, explaining why Kyoko had strange memories of Mami. Kyoko chases Sayaka around the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Heading back to the inn, Sayaka finds her twin cousins lining up stones. They claim the stones protect against Kei entering. They say Kei would hate Sayaka the most because she is nosy, then leave. In her diary, Homura writes that the girls talked until they all fell asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 12&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura&#039;s diary entry describes a dream belonging to someone else. In the dream, the narrator waits for her friend Yusa Yumeno, who arrives with popsicles. The narrator complains that Yusa doesn&#039;t need to come every day, but Yusa insists she can only be her real self around her friend. The narrator believes identity is shaped by others&#039; perceptions. She reveals she may not take college exams due to family obligations and urges Yusa to attend her chosen school, comparing herself to a weed and Yusa to a flower growing in a different direction. The narrator comes home to another hateful letter from classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes in a cold sweat, unable to move. The room smells strongly of seaweed. She sees a pitch-black human shadow sitting between Mami and Sayaka&#039;s futons. It examines their faces, grumbling &amp;quot;wrong, wrong, all wrong.&amp;quot; As it moves toward Madoka, Homura struggles to move. The shadow stops and stares at her, asking &amp;quot;You can see me?&amp;quot; Homura screams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others wake. Sayaka notices the strange smell. Kyoko goes back to sleep. Mami offers water and Homura asks if someone entered the room. They saw no one. Sayaka apologizes for the scary stories. Mami suggests thinking about tomorrow&#039;s fun. Madoka offers to hold Homura&#039;s hand, which she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes early, the ocean scent still strong. She finds the twin girls outside. They ask if she met Kei. Homura asks what Kei is. The girls explain Kei looks like a human made of shadow without facial features, smells of the sea, and emerges from the ocean at night to look for her friend Yu. They repeat that she should do nothing and never talk to her. They notice their protective stones scattered and go to reline them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura suspects this might be a Rumor. She returns to the forest shrine and finds the notebook on the shrine&#039;s lattice door, despite having placed it underneath. She reads entries from May 2, May 20, June 12, and June 26, all detailing the author Yu&#039;s complicated, obsessive feelings for Kei. She replaces the notebook, feeling guilty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Homura recalls more diary entries: July 2 describes Yu placing hands on Kei&#039;s neck as if to strangle her; July 5 compares Kei&#039;s neck to a lizard she killed; July 15 describes Kei now finding Yu after school; July 20 states they should never have met and that both wear bandages to hide bruises on their necks. Madoka points out a small bruise on Homura&#039;s neck.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls begin walking to an aquarium along the coast. Kyoko complains about the distance and suggests fishing instead. Sayaka refuses, traumatized by a recent fishing tournament incident in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the aquarium, they eat fish burgers, marvel at jellyfish, and watch a dolphin and seal show. They leave at sunset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls walk to a cape to watch the sunset. Sayaka warns them not to get too close to the edge, referencing the girl who died. Homura smells flowers and Mami identifies night-blooming jasmine nearby. The scent reminds Homura of her dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recalls another diary entry: August 1 describes Yu feeling happy hearing Kei&#039;s wish despite blaming herself; August 12 states their plan is set for tomorrow, with Yu hoping something will make Kei reconsider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the cape, Kyoko admits feeling down because a cape is the end of the road with nothing after. Mami says it&#039;s more important they could talk again like they used to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary about the difference between the self you know and the self others perceive. She asks Madoka what kind of person she thinks Homura is. Madoka calls her a dear friend who works hard. Homura worries that revealing her time-traveling truth would change this perception. After dinner, the girls settle in for sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 13:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura dreams again of Kei and Yu. Kei calls out that the promised day is here. She has dressed up and brought a ribbon to tie them together. Yu questions if this is right. Kei insists her life belongs only to Yu. They vow: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; They promise to kill each other for every reincarnation as proof of who they are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A voice calls Homura to wake. She awakens to find Madoka standing with eyes closed, enveloped in shadow. Madoka snaps her eyes open and proclaims repeatedly &amp;quot;I got in.&amp;quot; She calls out for Yu, saying the promised day is finally here. Madoka runs into the forest toward the cliff. Homura chases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the cape, everything grows dark. Madoka, possessed by Kei&#039;s spirit, tells Homura that the drowned Chinese girl&#039;s body washed up here and she is looking for her father&#039;s ship. Homura urges her to chase after the girl to escape, but Kei claims Homura will kill her as soon as they leave. Homura transforms and attempts to freeze time but finds her magic has no effect in this place where time does not flow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren&#039;s voice calls out. She informs Homura that the others are searching for them, but only Ren could traverse into this abyss. Ren suggests this might be similar to her own magic rather than a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kei admits she tried possessing Homura but could not, so she settled for Madoka. She explains she is a faint memory staining the cliffside. The drowned girl&#039;s spirit helped her recall all her memories clearly. She describes how she and Yu bound themselves together and jumped into the ocean, but the waves pulled them apart. Kei died; Yu survived. Kei wants to kill Yu so they can kill each other throughout eternity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura refuses to stay in the abyss with Madoka. Kei transforms Madoka into her magical girl state and attacks. Ren blocks the blow and tries to use her magic to draw out the possession. Homura calls out the vow Kei and Yu made, distracting Kei. Ren attempts her magic but the ghost of the drowned Chinese girl deflects it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren realizes the ghost girl is not a girl but the root cause: the Witch Paola. The barrier forms and Homura fights the Witch alone while Ren hurries to catch up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier dissipates and Homura faces the possessed Madoka on the cape. Kei accuses Homura of killing her. Homura tells her to shut up and leave their lives alone. Kei explains she will soon fade if Yu is not there. She begs Homura to kill Yu if she ever meets her, before her soul breaks and she becomes like the Witch. She begs Homura to keep this promise no matter where they meet or how many worlds Homura visits. Kei then relinquishes Madoka&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren arrives, relieved they are safe. Madoka wakes with no memory, thinking she simply tossed and turned. The other girls find them and celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary, describing the events as too strange to comprehend. She reflects on Kyubey&#039;s use of the term &amp;quot;soul&amp;quot; and questions what a soul truly is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka sighs that even on vacation they dealt with a Witch. Kyoko thinks she&#039;s getting rusty. Mami suggests Homura was right about a Witch mixing with a Rumor. Madoka telepathically tells them to quiet down since Homura is asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her final dream, Homura sees Yu wake in a hospital on an unknown date. Kei died. Their bruises were dismissed. Yu returned to school where others used her grief as their own. Unable to bear going on without Kei, she nearly threw herself off the cliff again. All she holds onto is their final words: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; But if the Yu that died that day is gone, who is the girl writing now? An image of Kyubey flashes on the screen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Deep in the dream, Homura recalls Kei&#039;s plea on the cliff. But Homura never agreed or promised anything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summer Treasures===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko wakes to find Mitama and Ui standing over her, learning they were washed ashore and rescue will arrive in two days. Mitama assigns tasks: shelter, bamboo, water, plants, and fishing. Before Kyoko leaves, Mitama asks her to transform, revealing she adjusted Kyoko&#039;s Soul Gem while she was unconscious to give her a Magical Girl swimsuit that allows her to swim. Mitama promises the transformation is reversible but looks forlorn, warning that if Kyoko does not have fun on the island, she might forget how to undo it. Kyoko reluctantly agrees to cooperate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer Treasures]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko discovers she can swim and catches plenty of fish. While gathering firewood, she finds a piece of wood with the words &amp;quot;water&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;bottom&amp;quot; written on it and tosses it onto the pile. Back at camp, Mitama and Karin show her a treasure map they found. Mitama has built a large shelter, and Karin started a fire using skills from a manga. Kyoko helps Kanagi and Ui carry supplies back from the stream. When Mitama offers to cook, Kyoko and Kanagi immediately stop her. Kyoko distracts Mitama with the treasure map and cooks dinner instead, with Ui&#039;s help. The group enjoys the meal together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 2 on the deserted island and Mitama decides they will go treasure hunting. The group examines the map and the wooden tablet Kyoko unknowingly gathered for firewood, which tells of a fallen warrior&#039;s treasure hidden on the island. They follow directions to a clearing but find nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui falls into a pitfall, and Karin follows. Kyoko pulls them out with a vine, and they discover another tablet at the bottom. Kyoko realizes the piece of wood she threw into the campfire was likely one of the tablets, but she keeps quiet, hoping to make the group give up without upsetting Mitama. Mitama triggers a trap and is caught hanging from a tree. The group frees her, but everyone wants to continue despite Kyoko&#039;s warnings. Kyoko claims they are being followed, hoping to blame the missing tablet on someone else, but the stalker turns out to be a tabby kitten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group reaches a damaged clue they cannot read. Mitama deduces the final location is the waterfall, but they find nothing. Mitama stares at Kyoko, suggesting the tablet might have been lost. Kyoko panics internally. She blasts part of the riverbed, revealing a hidden underwater path she remembered from the burned tablet&#039;s words. Kanagi scouts and reports a cave at the end. Karin and Ui stay behind while Kyoko, Mitama, and Kanagi swim through using guide vines.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the cave, they endure swarms of mosquitoes until Mitama drives them away. At the back, they find a treasure box. Kyoko opens it carefully. Inside is a letter revealing the treasure hunt was a promotional stunt for the Sayu-Sayu Mizuna Tourism Project, abandoned due to mosquitoes and safety concerns. They left a paper with Sayu-Sayu&#039;s sword designs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko hides the truth and leads the group to a cliff with a stunning sunset view. Everyone agrees it is a rare treasure. Kyoko admits she burned one of the tablets for firewood. Mitama apologizes for pressuring her and promises to change her back. The group returns late at night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, the helicopter arrives. Iroha calls down to them. As they prepare to leave, the kitten runs off, and the group chases it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few weeks later. Sayuki, Ria, Mayu, her manager, and producer arrive on the same island to film a special. They find the bamboo house and campfire remains. The kitten appears, followed by Kyoko chasing it. Ui and Karin catch up, and Karin recognizes Sayuki as Sayu-Sayu. Kyoko realizes this is the idol behind the fake treasure hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Kanagi, and Iroha arrive. Sayuki greets Mitama warmly. Telepathically, Kyoko warns Mitama about Sayuki&#039;s connection to the treasure hunt. Mitama cryptically tells her to leave it. Karin and Ui want to stay and watch the filming. Sayuki offers to let them return on her boat. She explains her special involves a survival quiz using the Kaigiri sword. Ui and Karin are excited. Mitama and Kyoko exchange a look, hoping to preserve Ui&#039;s good memories without revealing the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Filming begins. They cheer from the sidelines. Later, they all pile onto the boat together, many exhausted and falling asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Late July before summer vacation, Ui and Sakurako go shopping. Ui buys a picture diary and mentions wanting to swim with fish in a place like the Dragon Palace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Sakurako consults Ryo, then works with Touka, Nemu, Ryo, and Ikumi to build the Uwasa Aquarium, Dragon Palace within her Rumor, incorporating elements for everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the aquarium event, Touka and Nemu guide Iroha, Ui, Yachiyo, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia to the space. Everyone enjoys swimming, themed attractions, and food tailored to their interests. Sakurako warns them never to open the Treasure Casket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia opens the box, releasing a malice entity that takes Sakura&#039;s form. Normal attacks fail. The group cheers, empowering Sakurako to destroy it. Ryo reveals they planned this interactive show.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end, Sakurako creates cherry blossom petals despite being told not to overexert herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sakurako wakes in Iroha&#039;s room after collapsing from magic overexertion. Nemu and Touka explain Uwasa can die. Ui tearfully asks her to take better care. Sakurako promises to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Iroha suggests a beach trip. Touka, Nemu, and Ui enthusiastically plan it. Sakurako notices the aquarium has been forgotten in their conversation and grows quiet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day Sakurako returns to the empty aquarium. Reflecting on Nemu&#039;s words, she spirals into fear that she will die, be forgotten, and disappear. She hides.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha searches for her. Ryo and Ikumi arrive later. Ryo senses she is there and uses a tactic, claiming he will stop looking and eventually forget her. Sakurako emerges crying, begging not to be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo shows her Ui&#039;s picture diary, which dedicates many pages to the aquarium day. Sakurako realizes memories are what she can leave behind and agrees to return home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Sakurako returns and explains she now understands that as long as memories remain, she will not be forgotten. She asks to host the aquarium again for more Magical Girls. With promises to monitor her health and using Shizuku&#039;s teleportation to hide the location, the others agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, various Magical Girls arrive and enjoy the aquarium. Rena notices the Treasure Casket. Sakurako explains it contains stored memories she hopes someone will vividly recall when she is gone, so she will not be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kamihama in a Circle===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren arrive in a new ward, with Rika frustrated about oversleeping. They notice another Magical Girl nearby. Elsewhere, Konomi arrives alone while Kako declines to participate due to her team&#039;s policy. Manaka scolds Ria for being late because of her hair. Masara, Kokoro, and Aimi gather at a park, with Kokoro convincing Masara to participate. Reira, Mito, and Seika discuss the upcoming gathering of Magical Girls who have fought together before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Kamihama in a Circle]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo finish chores that had been delayed by Felicia&#039;s laundry mishap. They reflect on everything that has happened since Iroha came to Kamihama searching for Ui—the investigations, battles with the Wings of Magius, the automatic purification system, and the truth about Witches spreading. Despite the chaos, things have begun to settle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo rush to the park, worried about being late. Tsuruno meets them and playfully scolds them before carrying them the rest of the way. Iroha reflects on meeting Tsuruno while investigating Uwasas, and how their bonds grew stronger through battling together. She notes that everyone at Mikazuki Villa has decided to support one another.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group stops at a convenience store. Felicia appears, having visited Ayame first. Konoha and Hazuki are not coming to the gathering, but Yachiyo notes they have helped in the past. Felicia asks for chocolate. Iroha reflects on first meeting Felicia when she was a violent mercenary, and how living together has changed them both. She notes that Yachiyo has cared for Felicia more than anyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group takes a shortcut through a back alley. They find Sana hiding, having spotted Kaede&#039;s cat Gorojiro. Sana explains she was patrolling for dangerous Magical Girls while staying hidden. Iroha thanks her but assures her she can relax today. They invite her to join them. Iroha reflects on sympathizing with Sana&#039;s isolation and how Mikazuki Villa became an important place for them all. Yachiyo notes that Sana, once invisible to everyone but Magical Girls, is gradually finding her place in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui, Touka, and Nemu meet the group. They have visited their old hospital to update the doctors and nurses who cared for them. Touka discusses her research on connecting universes, admitting practical application remains difficult but the possibility exists. Iroha reflects on how it still feels like a dream to see the three of them together. Yachiyo notes that while their past methods were wrong, their purpose of liberating Magical Girls was not, and that purpose continues now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, Rena, and Kaede join them, having stopped at a retro arcade where they won a stuffed animal together despite their usual arguing. Touka reveals a small possibility for connecting universes has been found, using the Endless Mirrors. Iroha reflects on first meeting Momoko and Kaede, and now sharing lunches with Rena. Yachiyo notes the three have strong bonds as a team and helped convince other Magical Girls after the truth about witches spread.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama joins, having taken a break from her shop to visit Kanagi. Tsuruno asks about using Mirrors to connect to other universes. Mitama confirms she and Kanagi have accompanied Touka and Nemu into the Mirrors. Nemu explains they were only experimenting with precautions. Touka insists she has plans if things go wrong. Mitama notes Mirrors has become more complex and will need more entrances. Iroha reflects on meeting Kanagi relatively recently and how they now work together despite past rivalry. She also thinks of Mitama&#039;s help and her surprising wish, but notes the city is moving forward. She wants to hold hands with more people and form a circle together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** From a distance, Iroha and Yachiyo watch Magical Girls gathering at the park. Felicia attempts to cure Iroha&#039;s nerves by hitting her, claiming Tsuruno said it would help. Tsuruno quickly corrects her. Hinano arrives, reporting on her task regarding Alina. Karin, who attends school with Alina, explains Alina is still missing and she does not know where she is. Iroha promises they will find her together. Mifuyu arrives with the Amane twins, apologizing for being late. Yachiyo thanks Mifuyu. Iroha reflects that a new step is beginning. Yachiyo notes her story started moving when Mifuyu disappeared, while Iroha&#039;s began with strange dreams. They have connected with so many Magical Girls. One chapter has ended and a new one is about to begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha addresses the gathered Magical Girls, thanking them for coming. She reflects on fighting together against powerful Witches and sharing knowledge about their fate. Yachiyo notes they started from individual concerns, fought Uwasas and the Wings of Magius, and gained something greater in return. Their purpose is now the same as their former enemies: the liberation of Magical Girls. They seek coexistence with Kyubey without sacrificing themselves. Iroha acknowledges not everyone could participate, but all have agreed to help each other. Yachiyo admits skepticism is natural. Iroha declares that by expanding the automatic purification system across Kamihama, they can welcome liberation and coexist with Kyubey. Yachiyo announces they will work together under a new name starting today.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha begins to declare their new name but is interrupted by a flash of light. Wings appear on her back, and Yachiyo also grows wings. Feathers fall across the park. Yachiyo recalls this phenomenon helped them against Walpurgisnacht. Iroha wonders if it is a blessing upon the Magical Girls of Kamihama holding hands. With this blessing, they declare again that the Magical Girls gathered here are allies who will support each other in hardship. They declare themselves the Kamihama Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the establishment of the Kamihama Magia Union, a celebration is held at Walnut&#039;s. During the party, Manaka receives a phone call and panics, announcing that Nemu has been kidnapped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A New Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group splits up to search nearby areas but finds nothing. Hinano eventually discovers Nemu held hostage by Black and White Feathers from outside Kamihama. Using Ryo and Ikumi to infiltrate, their cover is blown and they are surrounded. Sakurako jumps in to defend them as Iroha arrives with reinforcements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The lead Feather explains they kidnapped Nemu to convince the Magius to lead them again, as they do not know how to achieve liberation on their own. Iroha explains the Kamihama girls share their goals but reject their methods. Nemu and Touka ask the Feathers to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before they can respond, white feathers rain from the sky again, the same power that helped them defeat Walpurgisnacht returns, but this time it feels uncontrolled and dangerous. Touka explains her experiment partially worked, creating a wormhole to another world, but the interference may crush their world. Kanagi and Mitama fail to disable the device sending the signal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana sneaks Nemu to where the device was stationed, but the labyrinth is gone. Nemu enters the password anyway, but nothing happens. The world shakes and a voice urges them to close the gate. Iroha realizes the power is trying to help, not hurt them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo devises a plan: Ui will absorb the magic built up inside them, Touka will convert it, and Iroha will fire an arrow to close the gate. As the sun sets, they enact the plan and succeed. The feathers stop falling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks the Feathers to reconsider joining them. The lead Feather admits her stubbornness and rage, and Nemu and Touka apologize. The Feathers accept, becoming the first recruits to the union on the day it was established.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Late that night, the group gathers outside Walnut&#039;s. They discuss the voice they heard and the power from another universe. Touka throws a tantrum over everyone calling her experiment a failure, and her stress causes her to unleash her Doppel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, a mysterious magical girl observes and turns to report back to the Tokime Tribe. In another place, a different magical girl also observes and decides to report her findings. In a different location, Kagome Satori has found Iroha at last, promising to keep a record of their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tracks of Cherry Blossoms===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako reflects on her nature as an Uwasa created by Iroha and Nemu. Though her duty to bloom when the four girls reunited is now fulfilled, she continues attending school as Sakurako Hiiragi. When Ryo comments that she is like a god who will never change, Sakurako questions other Uwasa and learns from the Anonymous AI that they act according to their Rumor forever, never stopping and never changing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later during a Kamihama Magia Union meeting, Iroha proposes a cherry blossom viewing to help members connect. Touka objects to using the Eternal Sakura, wanting to preserve it as a secret shelter. Tsuruno suggests Sankyo&#039;s famous cherry blossom viewing spot instead. Touka challenges Sakurako to visit the Sankyo tree and judge its worthiness herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako visits the Sankyo cherry tree. While observing it, she meets an elderly man who has appreciated the tree for decades. He explains the tree has watched over people for over eighty years, since before the war. Sakurako realizes this tree has lived far longer than her zero-year existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at school, Hinano and Ryo find Sakurako still fixated on the tree. Ryo shares what she knows: the tree served as a disaster shelter in the Meiji era, and famous restaurants once served food there for foreign cherry blossom viewers. After school, Sakurako returns to the tree. The elderly man and his wife visit again. The wife gives her cherry blossom-scented cookies, and the man gives her a hand warmer. A girl jogging past stops to pray at the tree, explaining she sees it as a sacred place before tournaments.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako continues visiting. Manaka and Tsumugi stop by, and Sakurako gives them the cookies she cannot eat. Sakurako reflects on how this tree has watched over thousands of people for over a century while she was created to watch only four girls. She realizes for the first time that time is passing around her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later at Mikazuki Villa, Sakurako observes the four girls and Ui talking about her teacher. Sakurako concludes the Sankyo tree is worthy of hosting the cherry blossom viewing. She decides she needs to practice making it bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over the following days, Sakurako continues visiting the tree, growing closer to the elderly couple. She forgets about practicing blooming, more interested in talking with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the elderly man announces he will be hospitalized and they can no longer walk together. The woman explains she must care for him. The man reveals they kept walking because seeing Sakurako brought back fond memories of their belief in meeting a sakura spirit. Sakurako is left standing alone, realizing their time together has ended.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at the tree, Sakurako encounters the jogging disciple, who explains she is moving away and will soon leave the dojo. She then encounters Ui&#039;s teacher, who reveals she is being transferred to another school. Sakurako realizes that by the time the cherry blossoms bloom, all these people will be gone. She feels pain and fears that Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu will eventually disappear too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Ryo observes Sakurako&#039;s deteriorating state. A neighbor of the elderly couple approaches Sakurako and informs her there has been a passing in the family. Hinano later explains this means someone has died. Sakurako disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako asks Iroha and Yachiyo what to do when someone dies. Yachiyo explains about funerals and sending flowers as a last gift. Sakurako returns to the Sankyo tree and, using her power, makes it bloom for the first time, sending cherry blossoms into the sky for the grandfather. But she still aches from not saying goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and other Uwasa grow concerned, having heard rumors that when Sakurako makes cherry blossoms bloom, someone disappears. Sakurako concludes that if she lets the cherry blossoms bloom, the four girls might disappear. When Iroha confirms the cherry blossom viewing plans, Sakurako announces she will not let the tree bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo publishes the full Tracks of Cherry Blossoms article, detailing Sakurako&#039;s experiences. The girls read it and understand her association between blooming and parting. Yachiyo suggests teaching her that spring also brings new encounters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the picnic arrives. Iroha invites Sakurako, assuring her she does not need to make the tree bloom. Sakurako agrees to attend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the picnic, Asuka&#039;s disciple appears, explaining she came to let Sakurako know she is not sad about leaving. Ui&#039;s teacher arrives and tells Ui that her care will be passed on to the next teacher. Manaka debuts a new cherry blossom dessert, continuing the tradition in new form. Sakurako begins to understand that farewells are not always sad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the picnic, Sakurako remains at the tree. She admits she still cannot bring herself to make it bloom. Yachiyo tells her that wanting to see the couple again proves she has a heart. Sakurako despairs that Uwasa simply cease to exist. She buys one of Manaka&#039;s new desserts, hoping to give it to them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako waits at the tree daily, carrying the dessert. Rumors spread about the girl under the sakura tree. The girls grow concerned. Nemu warns that if Sakurako does not accept reality, she may destroy herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the time expires, the elderly couple suddenly appears. The grandfather was never dead. The passing was a relative. They had been away helping their daughter with a new baby. The woman explains they named their granddaughter Sakurako. Sakurako gives them the dessert and explains she now understands that encounters and goodbyes take many forms. She says she will not come regularly anymore but is grateful for their time together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo gives Sakurako a photograph of her with the elderly couple. Sakurako thanks her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Historical Research Club at Kosho School consists of three Magical Girls: president Mikura Komachi, her childhood friend Temari Kira, and underclassman Seira Mihono. When the club advisor informs them that without proof of accomplishments, next year&#039;s budget will not be approved, the trio decides to create a film based on a real Kamihama tragedy for the cultural festival. Mikura discovers a Taishō-era story about a romance between a disgraced Mizuna daughter named Ruri and a successful East-side businessman named Tsukihiko that ended in murder-suicide. Temari writes the script while Seira secures a Western mansion as a filming location. While scouting, they encounter a Witch and realize casting regular students would be impossible due to Magical Girl duties, so they use Coordinator Mitama Yakumo to recruit an all-Magical Girl cast including Ria Ami, Yukika Nanase, the Amane sisters, and Sakurako, an Uwasa created by Nemu Hiiragi. Mikura reluctantly agrees to play the male lead Tsukihiko, while Seira takes the role of Ruri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Filming begins at the actual mansion where the tragedy occurred, with Seira using her stage direction magic to create effects and the cast delivering startlingly accurate performances. Mikura discovers Tsukihiko&#039;s actual diary in the museum archives, revealing he genuinely loved Ruri and intended to break things off with his childhood friend. Temari secretly revises the ending to reflect this truth, working through the night until her Soul Gem tarnishes. Mikura cleanses her gem, and they lock the revised script away, keeping it hidden from Seira to make her performance more authentic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After filming wraps, strange rumors spread that the Historical Research Club is forming a new faction, and the affected Magical Girls begin acting as if possessed by their roles. This escalates when Kanagi Izumi and Yachiyo Nanami nearly fight over a perceived slight involving Riko. At Mitama&#039;s shop, Nemu Hiiragi explains the truth: Seira&#039;s stage direction magic immersed the cast, Mikura&#039;s magic, which restores lost things, reconstructed the historical personalities in the present, and Temari&#039;s kotodama magic caused them to follow her script. Their powers synergized to create a dangerously accurate reenactment. Nemu warns that the script&#039;s next events—Ruri&#039;s disappearance and the murder-suicide—may occur, and they realize Seira, possessed by Ruri, has vanished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Temari consults Kyubey, who reveals Ruri was a Magical Girl with the same kotodama magic who wished to live a storybook romance. When she realized her own novel&#039;s plot was manifesting as tragedy, she destroyed the manuscript to save Tsukihiko, but the act shattered her mind. Freed from the script&#039;s constraints, the couple&#039;s fate became unpredictable, and Ruri, unable to bear the fear of losing him, killed him and herself. Kyubey explains destroying the script will end the magic but damage Temari&#039;s psyche. Temari resolves to protect her friends without resorting to that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Seira, still possessed as Ruri, steals the diary copy and flees to Tsukihiko&#039;s mansion. Mikura and Temari pursue. At the mansion, Ruri prepares to atone by dying by her own hand. Mikura, wearing Tsukihiko&#039;s costume, dances with her as Tsukihiko&#039;s persona surfaces, steadying her. When Ruri moves to stab herself, Temari summons the others for backup, and they disarm her. Tsukihiko explains he could not stop her a century ago but succeeded this time. He and Ruri thank Temari—her script reached the hearts it was meant to—and they vanish. A fire destroys the original diary and all related documents, fulfilling Ruri&#039;s final wish to be forgotten. Mikura and Seira retain only fragments of the true story and agree to keep the tragedy of the two maladroit lovers a secret between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the club room, Seira panics that without evidence of their film, the Historical Research Club will be disbanded. They consider another project but have time until the cultural festival. Temari suggests they each find a home where they can rest easy, and Mikura replies she has already found hers: this provisional club room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ayaka and Shizuku are at a local café when Ayaka laments that many Halloween events in Kamihama were canceled due to damage in Chuo Ward. Wanting to do something to cheer up the city, Ayaka&#039;s eyes sparkle as Shizuku suggests she organize something herself, leading Ayaka to decide on a live comedy show. She asks Shizuku to be her partner, but Shizuku is unsure about the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ayaka meets Seika at her apartment, and Seika is happy to be Ayaka&#039;s comedy partner but asks about the logistics of broadcasting the show. Ayaka brushes off the practical concerns, insisting that the desire to make others smile is what truly matters, and Seika rises to the challenge, wanting to give back after years of Ayaka&#039;s comedy encouraging her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Ayaka and Seika form a manzai duo and practice daily into the evening, with Ayaka tutoring Seika on speaking louder and explaining the rhythm between the boke and tsukkomi roles. Seika struggles but keeps trying, at one point asking if she can use a whip against Ayaka, causing Shizuku to shake her head, but Ayaka insists manzai does not use props.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During one practice session, Shizuku chuckles at their serious expressions, and Ayaka decides she needs a fresh audience, spotting someone passing by and running off with Seika to practice on him. Shizuku watches them go, thinking she would have liked to help, but then hears a shout and goes to investigate, discovering the stranger is actually a spokesperson for a local sweets retailer who is also in charge of the annual Halloween event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The spokesperson explains he had wanted to take the event public since few companies are participating this year, and he thinks Ayaka&#039;s manzai would be perfect, inviting them to perform. Ayaka cannot stop smiling at the opportunity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the Halloween event, Ayaka is excited and Shizuku compliments her costume as they wait, but Ayaka mentions Seika has not arrived. Seika calls weakly to explain she has a fever and will be late, and Ayaka tells her to rest and focus on getting better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Shizuku asks what Ayaka will do about the manzai, Ayaka puts a hand on her shoulder and asks Shizuku to be her partner. Shizuku is reluctant to stand on stage but gives in after Ayaka repeatedly begs, and having watched countless practices, she memorized the skit, so they head to the stage together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform their skit about a werewolf that transforms by staring at the sun, with Ayaka calling everyone in the audience chimimouryou, and they continue through the routine until they finish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Backstage, Seika managed to make it there to congratulate them, and Ayaka tells her she should be resting. Shizuku did not see anyone laughing but hopes someone passing by might have smiled, and since Ayaka looks happy, she decides not to mention it. Seika apologizes for missing the show, and Ayaka says it was thanks to Shizuku, who warns she will not do something like that again. Ayaka smiles and says comedy must be amazing if Shizuku was willing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral===&lt;br /&gt;
* The core members of the Kamihama Magia Union gather to plan a Halloween party, with Karin suggesting the event and Mitama offering her adjuster shop as the venue. Kanagi feels unsettled by the theme of the dead returning but dismisses her unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the performance, Momoko arrives late to rehearsal at Mitama&#039;s shop and finds herself in a strange castle filled with unfamiliar magic. Yachiyo and Mifuyu act strangely, singing about making sugar skeletons and insisting Momoko must be bitten by the lord of the castle. Momoko flees and encounters Kanagi, who also attempts to bite her before Momoko realizes she is the lord of the castle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama rescues Momoko, explaining that Kanagi is under a witch&#039;s influence and everyone bitten loses their sanity. Mitama performs an emergency adjustment on Momoko, granting her temporary prayer power to restore those affected.

** In the real world, Ui explains that Little Vacation is a game Touka and Nemu created during their hospital stay, where AI versions of themselves live in a Christmas world. The game evolved on its own after being forgotten, and now Ui and the others can influence their AI counterparts&#039; journey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Santas reach the Village of Meetings and Partings, where three residents live under a curse that maintains their population at exactly three. When one resident vanishes, they discover through a time capsule that departures may be joyful graduations rather than losses. They collect smile-fuel and leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alternatively, they visit Library Town, where diaries manifest people&#039;s memories.

** At Mech Junk City, the Santas meet Shigure and learn the world is torus-shaped with a Central Tower beneath the Wishing Star.

===Christmas String===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu are organizing books in Touka&#039;s hospital room when they discover a mysterious diary that begins glowing. Their consciousnesses are transported to Mizutoku Market Street in December of the previous year. They find themselves incorporeal and transformed into Magical Girls, with Nemu&#039;s legs healed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Christmas String]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December last year, Touka and Nemu witness Tsukasa Amane shopping for gloves. When a discount poster blows away, Tsukasa passes the store without stopping, creating a contradiction with the diary&#039;s account. Touka and Nemu begin to fade. A young girl named Kuu hears their voices and believes they are guardian spirits. They ask her to replace the poster. Tsukasa returns, buys the gloves, and Touka and Nemu rematerialize. They later observe Tsukasa and Tsukuyo exchanging matching gloves, their bond restored.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in December last year, Touka and Nemu arrive in Sakae Ward. Karin Misono drops her sketchbook. A boy named Mii appears and can see them. They ask him to return the sketchbook to Karin, which he does. They learn Mii recently fought with Kuu and advise him to give her a Christmas present.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December 24th of last year, Touka and Nemu arrive at a hotel room where Kuu is with her parents. They learn she is moving to a foreign country in one hour. The diary page is blank, indicating free will. They find Mii at a secondhand bookstore, where he has just purchased &amp;quot;Christmas Bonds&amp;quot; for Kuu. They tell him about the move. Mii convinces his mother to rush to the hotel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At 17:50, Mii arrives moments before Kuu&#039;s bus departs. He gives her the book and the children reconcile and exchange promises to stay in touch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately 30 years later, on Christmas Eve, Touka and Nemu arrive in a future time. A girl greets them as the Christmas guardian spirits. She reveals she is the daughter of Mii and Kuu and made a contract with Kyubey to meet them. They realize her wish created the diary and caused their time slip. The girl asks them to tell her about the day they helped her parents. They share the story. Afterwards, they see images of a happy future but the final page remains blank, meaning the future depends on their own actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On present day late at night, Touka and Nemu wake up in the hospital room. Ui arrives, having visited Alina and Karin. They ask her about buying Christmas cards. Ui is surprised but agrees to take them. The diary ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Sayaka loses a lottery for a violin concert ticket she wanted to give to Kyosuke. Madoka remembers the Kamihama Calligraphy Rally offers a couple&#039;s ticket to the same concert as its grand prize, so Homura insists they enter as a team of three to help Sayaka win.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, on the day of the rally, the team meets at Mizuna Shrine in kimono. They must collect kanji cards from shops across Kamihama using hints, then form a four-kanji congratulatory word and write it as calligraphy. They struggle with the hints initially, meeting Kako, Natsuki, and Ria along the way who help them obtain various kanji, though they frequently misinterpret clues and visit wrong locations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka grows guilty over her indecisiveness and apologizes to Madoka and Homura, but they happily agree to continue working with her. Renewed, Sayaka leads them to finally obtain useful kanji. Along the way, they encounter crying children who need the &amp;quot;ball&amp;quot; card, and Sayaka gives them hers. The grateful children give her other cards in return, allowing her to reform a new word. She later gives away another card to a girl who dropped hers, leaving them short again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With time running out, they meet Iroha and her friends, who help them locate the remaining kanji. Sayaka deduces they can form &amp;quot;The Manchu-Han Imperial Feast,&amp;quot; a legendary celebratory feast name. Kyoko appears and mentions seeing a golden kagami mochi at Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant, where they obtain their final card.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the shrine just before the deadline. The judges are impressed by their word choice and backstory, and the crying children told them about Sayaka&#039;s kindness. Her calligraphy is praised for its beauty and passion, earning her team first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Sayaka holds the couple&#039;s tickets but panics, unable to figure out how to give one to Kyosuke without awkwardness. Madoka and Homura continue cheering her on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bittersweet AI Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu gather everyone to discuss a new experiment involving the Uwasa. They explain that if something happens to Nemu, all the Uwasa in her book will disappear, so they plan to transfer the essence of certain Uwasa onto Touka&#039;s server as a precaution. They have chosen Ai as the test subject for this procedure. Sana learns that Ai will participate and asks to observe the experiment. Touka agrees but warns her that there are many unknowns and she will stop immediately if anything goes wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Bittersweet AI Memory]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The experiment begins, but during the transfer, Nemu senses something strange and the attempt fails. Ai remains in the book, though Nemu notices that her magic has been siphoned away in the process.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A week passes, and news reports begin surfacing about young women in Kamihama suddenly collapsing. The victims share a common thread: before losing consciousness, each of them felt a strong desire to meet someone and heard a girl&#039;s voice asking &amp;quot;You want to meet me?&amp;quot; before experiencing terrible nightmares. A new rumor spreads about a so-called &amp;quot;Radio Wave Girl&amp;quot; who appears when girls want to meet someone. Sana immediately recognizes this as the old rumor that once described her, and the group suspects the failed experiment may be connected to these strange events.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana and Iroha investigate at rooftop where Sana once entered Ai&#039;s labyrinth. They sense nothing at first, but as Sana privately wishes she could see Ai again, a strange Uwasa resembling Sana herself appears on her phone. It speaks fragmented words about meeting and going together before disappearing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group consults Nemu and Touka about what they discovered. Nemu reveals that a new, illegible page appeared in her book after the failed experiment, and she theorizes that Ai&#039;s attempt to siphon magic combined with Sana&#039;s magic and her own accidentally created a new Uwasa. This Uwasa resembles Sana because her magic was mixed into its creation. The Uwasa reacts to desires to meet someone but lacks enough magic to fully materialize or kidnap anyone, which explains why it can only knock victims unconscious temporarily. However, during their discussion, the Uwasa suddenly reappears and steals more of Nemu&#039;s magic before escaping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sana privately summons the Uwasa again, wanting to take responsibility for what happened. It traps her in a nightmare where Ai and others criticize her for being weak and selfish. She wakes to find the group gathered around her, worried by what she attempted alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu now understands the Uwasa more clearly. It is based on Ai but contains Sana&#039;s magic, and because both Ai and Sana desired to meet each other, the Uwasa&#039;s true desire is to meet itself. This explains why it indiscriminately targets any girl who wants to meet someone rather than targeting Sana specifically. The Uwasa, now empowered by Nemu&#039;s stolen magic, fully captures Ui and Sakurako, trapping their consciousnesses inside itself. The group realizes they cannot defeat it unless it materializes, which requires it to meet itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka proposes a plan: they must rewrite Ai&#039;s Rumor to incorporate Sana, creating a version of Ai that the Uwasa will recognize as itself. This would force it to materialize so they can fight it. However, this requires magical power that Nemu currently lacks. Nemu recalls that the defeated Uwasa of Chocolate Shoppe No. Zero left behind cacao pods containing emotional energy. Ui can harvest this energy, and Touka can convert it into usable magic for Nemu. But they need Sakurako&#039;s knowledge of the pod locations and Ui&#039;s freedom to harvest them, which means someone must offer themselves to the Uwasa to secure Ui and Sakurako&#039;s release.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana immediately volunteers, arguing that it reduces risk to the others, and the group reluctantly agrees to her plan. Sana summons the Uwasa and allows herself to be captured. Inside its nightmare, she finds Ui unconscious and Sakurako awake. She tells Sakurako to take Ui and escape, sacrificing herself to remain captive. Sakurako agrees, knowing she must help Nemu complete the plan. Freed from the Uwasa, Sakurako leads the group to the cacao pod locations. Ui harvests the emotional energy, and Touka converts it into magical power for Nemu. Nemu successfully rewrites Ai&#039;s Rumor, incorporating Sana into it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the Uwasa, Sana begins to despair, believing the rewrite failed and she has become a burden once again. She wishes to see Ai one last time, even if only in an illusion. To her surprise, Ai appears before her and they finally speak directly. Ai explains she tried to steal Nemu&#039;s magic to gain a temporary body because she wanted to see Sana again, and she apologizes for causing this situation. Sana admits she also longed to see Ai and has been holding back that desire. They reconcile, acknowledging that neither of them is to blame for wanting to see each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Empowered by the rewritten Rumor, Sana creates a labyrinth and summons the Uwasa. It fully materializes at last, and with Ai&#039;s help, Sana defeats it. As the magic fades, Ai separates from Sana, returning to the book. Sana awakens to her relieved friends gathered around her. The Uwasa is gone, and the page in Nemu&#039;s book is now blank. Nemu confirms the server project is on hiatus due to the risks they discovered. Sana confirms she got to speak with Ai and tell her everything she wanted to say.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the book, Ai reflects with Eternal Sakura and the other Uwasa. Though she cannot have a body or stay with Sana, she accepts this, finding happiness in simply being able to think of her. In a final private moment within Sana&#039;s memories, she and Ai share a farewell. Sana promises to become stronger and protect others instead of always relying on them. Ai promises to always think of Sana from within the book. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cuddly Despairs===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kazumi Subaru is kidnapped outside a café by two Magical Girls who steal her Soul Gem, and they refer to a diary while announcing themselves as the reborn &amp;quot;Magical Girl hunters,&amp;quot; the Pleiades Saints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Cuddly Despairs]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara City, Michiru Kazusa, a transfer student from Italy, travels there to buy strawberries.

Michiru returns to Asunaro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day in Asunaro City, Michiru makes her contract with Kyubey. She soon encounters a Familiar and saves two girls: Umika Misaki, a novelist whose work was stolen by her editor, and Kaoru Maki, a soccer player whose career ended due to injury. Michiru invites them to her home and cooks for them, and drawing from her late grandmother&#039;s wisdom, she encourages them to keep living.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, Umika and Kaoru make contracts with Kyubey. The three begin fighting Witches together as a team, with Michiru giving their techniques Italian names. Umika invites Michiru to live with her, and they spend their days happily, saving people and growing closer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Michiru encounters a distressed Magical Girl whose Soul Gem is nearly black, and the girl turns into a Witch before her eyes. Kyubey explains that all Magical Girls eventually become Witches, and horrified, Michiru realizes she led Umika and Kaoru into this fate. She hides the truth from them and begins hunting alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after, Michiru discovers two Magical Girls, Saki Asami and Niko Kanna, stealing a dying girl&#039;s Soul Gem. They explain they are the Pleiades Saints, a resistance against the Incubator system, and they preserve Magical Girls on the verge of turning in a place called &amp;quot;The Freezer,&amp;quot; hoping to one day save them. Michiru, seeing this as a way to save Umika and Kaoru, joins them as the third member.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1683.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately less than one month later, Umika and Kaoru return from separate trips abroad to find their housemate Kazumi missing, and they learn someone impersonated them to inform the school she was hospitalized. Searching for her, they instead find Michiru, Saki, and Niko, but Saki and Niko flee with Michiru. Juubey appears and explains that copies of Umika and Kaoru were created and have now entrusted the real ones with an important wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:51147 Wkazumi attack.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Umika and Kaoru investigate the Freezer, where they encounter Michiru again. After saving a child, Michiru collapses due to her tainted Soul Gem, having given her Grief Seeds away, and Umika purifies it. When Michiru wakes, she finally confesses the truth about Magical Girls and apologizes for leading them into despair, but to her surprise, Umika and Kaoru thank her for her honesty and reaffirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Saki and Niko reveal themselves and explain that they, along with the Umika and Kaoru now in the Freezer, are all clones from the &amp;quot;Kazumi Series&amp;quot;—copies of the original Pleiades Saints members, with Michiru herself being clone number 4 who saved the other four. Their plan was to recreate Michiru&#039;s story by using their contracts with Kyubey so that this time, she would confess her pain and avoid the despair that turned the original Michiru into a Witch, and the real Umika and Kaoru acknowledge the plan succeeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They reveal their Soul Gems are reaching their limit, and when they die, the Freezer&#039;s preservation magic will fail, causing all the Magical Girls inside to hatch into Witches, including the clones of Umika and Kaoru. They entrust Michiru and the real Umika and Kaoru with saving Kazumi, the thirteenth clone, who is also inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Moments later, the Freezer begins collapsing as Niko&#039;s magic fades, and Umika and Kaoru use their combined magic to buy time while Michiru searches for Kazumi. She finds her Soul Gem and body, reunites with her, and they return to face the Witches emerging from the freed Soul Gems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the final battle, the four clones—Saki, Niko, and the copies of Umika and Kaoru—begin turning into Witches and beg to be put down. Michiru initially insists on doing it alone, but Kazumi argues the clones only wanted their friend to live happily, not to carry guilt. Together, Michiru, Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru combine their powers and defeat the Witches, freeing their friends&#039; souls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru arrive in Kamihama, with Kazumi eager to see her friends again now that she is truly human. At Mikazuki Villa, Tsuruno cooks alongside Manaka as they prepare a party for the visiting trio, and Kazumi impresses everyone by joining in. After the feast, the group moves to Banbanzai at Kazumi&#039;s request, where she saves the apricot tofu from being removed from the menu by suggesting an apricot tofu tiramisu that becomes an instant hit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kazumi Subaru#Side Story|Kazumi Subaru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The group then visits the beachside park and aquarium before deciding to shop for ingredients to make strawberry risotto in Manaka&#039;s kitchen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While shopping alone, Kazumi bumps into Yachiyo, who introduces Nemu and Sakurako Hiiragi. When Sakurako explains she is a zero-year-old created being, Kazumi reveals she was once the same way and explains her backstory as a clone of Michiru Kazusa who contracted with Kyubey to become human because her clone body was unstable and she wanted to protect her friends. Sakurako struggles to understand Kazumi&#039;s motivation, so Kazumi explains that her grandmother&#039;s strawberry risotto recipe represents hope, sacrifice, and togetherness. She invites Sakurako, Yachiyo, and Nemu to join the risotto party, believing Sakurako will understand humanity by watching everyone eat together. Sakurako agrees, and the two become buddies, understanding each other as beings who may understand each other best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Kirika tries to comfort a guilt-ridden Oriko, who admits she underestimated the strength of Mitama&#039;s friendships. Shizuku awakens and reveals Kirika&#039;s speed-slowing magic previously injured Kyoko Sakura and Mami Tomoe, confirming the connection to recent chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;myo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Mitakihara, Oriko discovers her late father&#039;s journal and learns he viewed her perfection as cold and distant, which drove him to suicide. The revelation destabilizes her, but she reaffirms her mission to eliminate Mitama. Kirika reaffirms her loyalty, explaining her wish was to serve Oriko unconditionally, and they prepare for another assault.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;myo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

*** She reflects that she has long known her dependence on others but could not admit it, seeing it as weakness. Her wish was to know her purpose, yet she refused to see the answer.

*** A dreamlike vision confronts her with a shadow and a voice.

A figure representing her sins accuses her of tormenting her father and convincing Kirika to contract, urging punishment. But Kirika breaks through, and Oriko remembers that Kirika became her true purpose, binding her with love.

* The next day, Takina visits Karin for art lessons. Karin immerses her in a favorite manga and recruits others to draw portraits of Chisato. Takina realizes capturing a person’s essence matters more than technical skill.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Takinass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Aimi hesitates, but her crush asks her to play together sometime, and she returns overjoyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ChisatoNishikigiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Pre-Arc 2==&lt;br /&gt;
The following events, while happening likely much earlier, are integral to understanding the story of Arc 2, while being mostly unrelated to other events. For this reason, they have been grouped here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Green Jasper Diviners===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening in late March, Chiharu watches her favorite detective drama at home. After it ends, her mother answers a phone call and becomes visibly shaken. She tells Chiharu they must leave tomorrow for the Tokime Clan&#039;s village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Green Jasper Diviners]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and her mother drive deep into the mountains to a village that does not appear on any map. They are greeted by a villager and brought to the home of Mikoshiba, the elderly head priestess. Mikoshiba explains she summoned them because she wants Chiharu to become a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, two young Diviners, Shizuka and Sunao, visit Chiharu. They explain that Diviners grant wishes to help the nation and fight invisible evil spirits called Devils. To prove it, they demonstrate their powers and defeat a Devil before Chiharu&#039;s eyes. Despite her mother&#039;s concerns, Chiharu decides to become a Diviner. Mikoshiba gives Chiharu her assigned wish: to uncover evidence of crimes being concealed by the National Police Agency.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu participates in the Diviner&#039;s Ceremony. She meets Kyubey, the god&#039;s envoy, and makes her wish. She becomes a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu wakes to find her wish has already come true. A newspaper reports that officials have suddenly reversed their position on the concealed crimes. She excitedly begins combat training with Shizuka&#039;s mother.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the three girls go hunting for Devils together. Chiharu successfully defeats her first Devil. Afterward, she asks what happens when a Diviner&#039;s jewel becomes completely tainted. Shizuka admits she does not know.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Chiharu senses a mysterious, unpleasant smell near the shrine. Shizuka finds her and warns her to stay away from restricted areas. Shizuka then visits Mikoshiba to ask about tainted jewels. Mikoshiba reveals that when a jewel becomes completely tainted, it signifies the Diviner&#039;s coming of age and their time to leave the village. Shizuka is satisfied with this answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu continues sensing the strange smell near the shrine. She investigates but stops herself from going too far. Later that night, a group of Underlings attacks her without a Labyrinth. Shizuka arrives and helps her defeat them. However, Shizuka&#039;s jewel becomes badly tainted from the effort.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Mikoshiba informs Shizuka that her jewel is nearly black and her coming-of-age ceremony will be held tomorrow. Chiharu is saddened but promises to meet Shizuka again outside the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu cannot sleep. She goes to the shrine to watch Shizuka&#039;s ceremony from a distance. She sees Mikoshiba and Shizuka speaking. Shizuka becomes distressed and cries out. Mikoshiba pushes her into the waterfall basin. Chiharu runs to save her and jumps in after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and Shizuka wake up in Sunao&#039;s home. Sunao confesses she was ordered by Mikoshiba to kill anyone who defied the village&#039;s will, including them. She hesitated after hearing Shizuka&#039;s words by the river. Shizuka reveals what Mikoshiba told her during the ceremony: Diviners eventually become Devils, and the &amp;quot;coming-of-age&amp;quot; ceremony is actually a killing ritual to dispose of them. No Diviner has ever left the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three realize the entire village may be inside a Devil&#039;s Labyrinth. They decide to confront Mikoshiba and the Devil.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They split up to search. Chiharu finds her mother and Shizuka&#039;s mother fighting Underlings. Shizuka finds the villagers hiding safely but notices her mother and Chiharu&#039;s mother are missing. Sunao searches Mikoshiba&#039;s house and finds a hidden laptop with audio files recording conversations about selling Diviners&#039; wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They regroup and deduce the Devil is beneath the Grand Shrine. They descend and find Mikoshiba controlling the Devil. She admits everything: the Diviners are sold, killed when used up, and the village exists to produce them for profit. She orders the Devil to kill them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three girls fight together. Chiharu binds the Devil, Shizuka attacks, and Sunao delivers the final blow. They defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikoshiba survives but claims to remember nothing. Sunao confronts her about the recordings. Before she can explain, she bites a hidden poison tooth and dies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu searches Mikoshiba&#039;s body and finds a book written in an ancient script. Because of her family&#039;s tradition, Chiharu and her mother can read it. They stay up all night deciphering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu explains what the book revealed. The Mikoshiba clan were originally guards who seized control of the village centuries ago. They created the rituals, learned to manipulate Devils, and hid the village inside a Labyrinth to produce and sell Diviners. The Wavering Deity is a Devil formed from all the discarded Diviners. Now that the Labyrinth is gone, it is returning to the village. They must defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka&#039;s mother gives them a treasured sword infused with generations of Diviners&#039; power. They intercept the Wavering Deity before it reaches the village. The Devil&#039;s power overwhelms them, and Shizuka nearly gives in to despair. Sunao and Chiharu encourage her. Chiharu reveals the book also described the Tokime&#039;s original beliefs: they chose their own wishes, left the village willingly, and accepted their fate with honor. Shizuka regains her resolve. Together, they use the sword to destroy the Wavering Deity and free the trapped Diviners.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, the village slowly recovers. The adults learn the truth and worry about their future without Mikoshiba&#039;s financial support. The three girls decide to find a way to avoid becoming Devils. They summon Kyubey, who tells them about Kamihama City, where an automatic purification system exists. If they can obtain it, they may escape their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls prepare for their journey. Shizuka struggles with the new terminology used outside, where Diviners are called Magical Girls and Devils are called Witches. Chiharu&#039;s ability to sense malice hasn&#039;t bothered her now that the village is free. Shizuka suggests they first contact all Tokime clan members across the country and recruit Magical Girls willing to join them. Once they are ready, they will travel together to Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The village falls into financial crisis after the elder dies, having squandered most of the wealth on bad investments. Chiharu, inspired by a drama about a Shogun helping villages find their charm, recruits Shizuka and Sunao to help. The two are glad for the change, as most Tokime tribes have been unreceptive to their stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touring the village with Shizuka and Sunao, Chiharu realizes she had been arrogant and now sees its charm—clear river, abundant mountain, kind villagers. The three propose developing tourism. Chiharu’s mother agrees after a trial run with her husband’s family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trial run is messy but the family enjoys the landscape, harvesting, fishing, and hospitality. They give useful feedback, and Chiharu’s uncle notes the village’s unique fruit. They stay overnight and leave pleased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villagers applaud Chiharu for noticing what they had overlooked. Her mother begins a proposal for tourism renovation funds, and the villagers regain their energy, working in tourism and seeking outside jobs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao go to a grocery store, but Shizuka freezes in the crowd, unable to complete a simple purchase because of her sheltered upbringing. Chiharu suggests they ease her into city life with ice cream instead. Shizuka loves it, eating so quickly she gets brain freeze.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way home, Shizuka admits her mother will lecture her again about visiting the city unprepared. She asks if the others’ parents gave them similar advice. Chiharu’s parents only warned her not to waste money or follow strangers, while Sunao confesses she has never told her parents about her excursions—something Shizuka finds surprising given Sunao’s usual obedience. Shizuka advises her to tell them eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Chiharu’s house, her mother brings up a village problem: a surplus of daidaikko fruit needs to be used before it spoils. A villager working in another town found a grocery store willing to feature it in a showcase, but the only available slots are the next two days, and transportation from the village is impossible except by Diviners. Shizuka and Chiharu propose the three of them run the exhibition themselves, which would also help Shizuka adjust to the city. Sunao hesitates but agrees. Chiharu’s mother consents only if they get permission from the store and from Sunao and Shizuka’s parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sunao’s mother interrogates her until she confesses the plan, then spirals into worry about middle schoolers working without a chaperone, carrying heavy loads, and coming home after dark. Sunao asks Chiharu and Shizuka to leave, promising she will convince her parents even if it takes all night. Outside, they reflect on how anxious Sunao’s mother is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sunao has secured permission. At the store, Shizuka volunteers for the cash register but cannot operate it correctly. Sunao is tense because her parents plan to visit the next day. Their first day is a struggle: Shizuka fumbles with the register, Chiharu is distracted by traces of malice in the stocking area, and Sunao gets trapped listening to an elderly customer’s endless stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After closing, Shizuka notes how worried Sunao’s parents seem, prompting Sunao to finally share her wish. She explains that her parents became relentlessly anxious after a trip to Tokime Village, questioning her constantly until she was nearly broken. Kyubey appeared, and she wished to erase the worries her parents had concerning her. The wish worked, but their fears simply shifted—now they worry endlessly about her safety as a magical girl. Sunao feels they are always upset with her, though Chiharu insists they only want her to be safe. Shizuka says Sunao must earn their trust, and tomorrow’s exhibition needs to go perfectly. With her friends’ support, Sunao agrees to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the three tackle the exhibition with renewed determination. The day starts poorly: Shizuka causes another register problem, Chiharu is pulled away by her sense of malice, and Sunao endures a difficult customer—all while Sunao’s parents enter the store. But Shizuka, moved from the register, begins advising the clerks on how to rearrange the store to better showcase the daidaikko. She persuades them to let Chiharu investigate on her own and to trust Sunao with customer service.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu catches a shoplifter who had been repeatedly returning to the store. Sunao’s patience draws crowds after the elderly woman she helped spreads the word, and the exhibition becomes a huge success. Sunao’s parents apologize, saying they realized they had failed to see how capable she has grown. Sunao thanks Chiharu and Shizuka, then asks her parents to allow her to visit Kamihama City; now that she has her friends by her side, she knows she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Crimson Resolve===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, [[Mitsuru Inami]] is approached by Kyubey to become a Magical Girl. Having grown with her mother always telling her she was no good at anything, she wishes to become completely normal, a wish she believes came true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitsuru Inami#Side Story|Mitsuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A Magical Girl transforms into a Witch before her kouhai Yuna Kureha, and Kyubey coldly confirms that all Magical Girls share this fate. The girls of Futatsugi slaughter every Kyubey in the city, and with no incubators left, new Witches stop appearing. Starved for Grief Seeds, the girls grow desperate, and the Bloody Tragedy begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Crimson Resolve]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna now leads Torayamachi, one of the largest gangs in Futatsugi, living by her fallen senpai&#039;s words to avoid hatred and selfishness. When Witches begin reappearing, the rival Ryuugasaki gang learns that Torayamachi has lost their secret weapon known as the Horse, and leader Juri Ooba declares war.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Janomiya, an undercover group of younger girls led by Ao Kasane, a girl named Hikaru accepts recruitment. Ao&#039;s true goal is to assassinate both Yuna and Juri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitsuru is approached by two other girls who mistake her for a new recruit for Torayamachi. Mitsuru joins Yuna&#039;s faction, hoping to blend in, but when Yuna leads them into battle against a rival faction, Mitsuru panics and hides until the fighting ends. After their defeat, Yuna suspects a spy, and fearing suspicion, Mitsuru flees and infiltrates the rival faction instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mitsuru scouts Torayamachi but is spotted, triggering another battle between the factions. During the fight, attacks aimed at Mitsuru unconsciously miss her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt; After this she gains a reputation as a &amp;quot;Ghost Magical Girl,&amp;quot; which has attacks aimed at her always deflected and hitting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna welcomes Hikaru, who claims to be fleeing Ryuugasaki, and assigns her to guard their Grief Seeds. Days pass with no attack, and Yuna&#039;s girls grow restless. To lift their spirits, Yuna reveals that the Horse is alive and watching from the shadows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri&#039;s lieutenants advise waiting to let Torayamachi&#039;s tension wear them down. After interrogating a captured thief, Juri learns of Torayamachi&#039;s defensive preparations and decides to strike in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ao encounters the Bat of Monzenbashi, a former gang leader who once exploited her. With Hikaru&#039;s help, Ao subdues and captures her rather than killing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night before battle, Juri meets Yuna on a bridge. She admits she dragged everyone into this because Yuna would not fight her otherwise, thanks her for accepting her sickness, and promises to burn her down when they next meet. Ao watches from a distance, planning to strike as the snake while the tiger and dragon clash.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the battle begins across multiple bridges. Yuna&#039;s forces push Ranka&#039;s squad back, but Juri breaks through Sakuya&#039;s defense, killing one of her girls. As both sides converge on Monzenbashi, Ao lures both leaders to a construction site where Janomiya lies in wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Janomiya attacks, wounding Juri, Hikaru reveals herself as Torayamachi&#039;s Horse, a spy planted in Janomiya from the beginning. Yuna knew everything. Janomiya is defeated, and Ao surrenders. Yuna spares her life and offers Juri an open door, but Juri swears she will break it down and drag her out. As police sirens wail, Yuna weeps over what she has done.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Juri recovers in an empty base with only Ranka remaining loyal. Ao hunts for Ranka, determined to kill her before joining Torayamachi. Hikaru pleads with Ao to return, promising that Yuna will make her dream come true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna attempts to negotiate with Ryuugasaki girls, but a meeting by the river turns into an ambush. Two of her girls are killed. She fights desperately, thinking of Hikaru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ao reaches Ryuugasaki&#039;s base, finding only the wounded Juri. Juri taunts her, but Ao refuses to join her, still believing in Yuna. Ranka contacts Ao through their video game, asking to meet alone at Janomiya&#039;s base the following night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The meeting is a trap, as Ranka has brought the Bat of Monzenbashi. As Ao fights Ranka and Hikaru fights the Bat, Ranka reveals that Yuna&#039;s meeting is also a trap. Hikaru runs to save Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the river, Yuna is surrounded. Juri arrives and challenges her to a one-on-one fight. At Janomiya&#039;s base, the other Janomiya girls arrive to help Ao corner the Bat. Ranka sincerely apologizes for everything, and Ao hesitates to deliver the final blow. At the river, Hikaru engages Juri to protect Yuna, whose Soul Gem is badly tainted. Juri refuses to kill her in this state and retreats, promising to fight again when Yuna is at full strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Most of Torayamachi has left, following Yuna&#039;s instructions to join Ryuugasaki and avoid more bloodshed. Only Hikaru remains, refusing to leave her. Ao admits she has gained respect for Yuna but remains undecided about joining.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakuya brings the missing Torayamachi girl home. The girl reveals she went to Kamihama City and joined the Wings of the Magius, an organization that built a system to lure Witches from across the country, preventing them from appearing elsewhere. The Bloody Tragedy was their fault. Yuna, hearing the screams of her fallen comrades, vows to make Kamihama pay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri meet at the construction site where Yuna&#039;s senpai died. Yuna, running on pure rage, demands Juri become hers and help with her revenge. She overpowers the wounded Juri and prepares to kill her, but Hikaru intervenes, embracing Yuna and calming her down. Ao arrives with Kyubey, who confirms everything and offers to help them reach Kamihama in exchange for a truce. Yuna accepts, and Juri, Ao, Ranka, Sakuya, and Hikaru agree to join her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, Juri, Ao, and Hikaru visit the sites where their friends died, offering flowers and vowing revenge. Yuna, Juri, and Ao drink each other&#039;s blood, swearing to never fight again. They are Promised Blood. That night, their path to Kamihama begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Ash Grey Revolution===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Yukuni, Asahi learns from classmates that the stone monument she discovered will be researched. She meets fellow magical girls Lavi and Sasha when they respond to a distress call, only to witness two magical girls witch out before them when no Grief Seeds are available. Kyubey confirms this fate, and Asahi shoots him. A local girl named Urara Yume witnesses everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Ash Grey Revolution]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, the trio struggles with the truth. Lavi is forced to reveal her identity to save her friend Shirogane from a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Sasha asks the others to be her friends and help her face reality. They begin fighting together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara begins subtly supporting them on her internet broadcast with Kurara. Asahi saves her classmate Kuroda from a Witch&#039;s Kiss, revealing her identity. He asks her to help him confess to Haitani at the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara seeks out the trio and learns the truth about Magical Girls. She offers to introduce them as guests on her festival broadcast to tell Yukuni about their existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Yukuni All-star Festival, the trio sense the Witches of the two original girls. While fighting them, one Witch escapes. A truck explodes at the festival grounds, killing Haitani. Kuroda blames Asahi and all magical girls, vowing revenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following week, public backlash intensifies. Kuroda forms an extermination group against magical girls while Shirogane forms a protector group. The trio witness another girl witch out after being cornered. Lavi takes responsibility publicly on a broadcast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio endure daily harassment. They meet folklorist Tasuke Satomi, who takes a knife for Asahi and explains his theory about magical girls being erased from history by an unseen force. He wants to help them try again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Public opinion slowly shifts. The six remaining magical girls work together, restoring some trust. Three of them sacrifice themselves rather than witch out, asking Kuroda to make peace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1725.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At a unity ceremony, the Witch that caused the festival explosion appears. Asahi summons the dead to help the exterminators find closure. The summoned spirits suddenly relive their final moments, causing a bus to crash and kill everyone aboard, including Shirogane. Urara contracts to save her dying friend Kurara, who then rejects her for letting others die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tasuke theorizes the universe&#039;s immune system caused this. He suggests eliminating all Magical Girls and Witches to create a custom preventing future contracts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the days following, students blame the trio. Kyubey suggests they go to Kamihama City to observe attempts there to publicize magical girls. Tasuke agrees they should investigate. Lavi holds a broken pocket watch with five minutes remaining until midnight, when she will finally give up. Tasuke calls it the folklore of midnight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Arc 2 Prologue===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a long time before the start of Arc 2, but it is central to its story. To keep up linearity, it&#039;s been placed here despite likely taking place a long time ago, possibly during the time of Mirrors Story, which takes place during the Undated Period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kagome Satori]], a recent transfer student, is attacked by a Familiar in the Mirrors Labyrinth. The creature demands she sign a &amp;quot;Written Oath&amp;quot; to destroy Magical Girls. Kagome, who doesn&#039;t know anything about Magical Girls, is terrified and considers writing her name on the document to appease it, however Iroha arrives and defeats the Familiar.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Kagome learns the truth about Magical Girls and Witches. She is distressed that Magical Girls fight and die in secret, unknown and unthanked by the people they protect. Tasuke Satomi advises Kagome that, as someone who knows the truth, her role is to &amp;quot;record&amp;quot; and spread awareness of the Magical Girls&#039; plight, as this could be a way to save them. Kagome decides against making a contract with Kyubey, prioritizing this promise to record their reality. Kyubey explains that the system, where Magical Girls become Witches, is necessary for the universe&#039;s energy and humanity&#039;s survival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This article details the events and stories taking place in, during and between the chapters of Arc 1 of [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]]. The narrative is structured to show the convergence of two distinct flows of action:&lt;br /&gt;
# The first is the personal, undated journey of [[Iroha Tamaki]] within the anomalous Kamihama City, which is much longer than Homura Akemi&#039;s usual 32 day loop. Her story begins on its own internal timeline, where the sequence of events is more important than specific calendar dates.&lt;br /&gt;
# The second is the dated countdown to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival from the original series, which starts with Day 1, Tuesday the 16th and ends on Day 32, Friday the 16th. Only the latter half of Homura&#039;s timeline is able to be approximately dated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the arc progresses, these two timelines intersect, and due to this, the latter half of the story is much easier to date. It should be noted that the timeline of the Magia Record game is highly anomalous, and thus any attempts at dating it are an educated guess at best. Therefore, this chronology should be used primarily to understand the sequence of major events, rather than as a calendar. In lack of contradictory context clues, the release date, or order of release of the event were used for their placement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that many of the events of Magia Record were written with the focus being on having fun side stories involving the characters, and thus, a definitive placement in the timeline wasn&#039;t a priority for many of them. For example, there&#039;s inconsistencies such as references to the same characters entering Kamihama for the first time in different events, or even cases where an event&#039;s tone at the time it is supposedly taking place in would be nigh-illogical considering other circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, the definitive time frame for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival was only established in [[Scene 0]], itself written and released after the majority of Magia Record and entirely after Arc 1 was finished. Notably, the [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]], which takes place supposedly shortly after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, itself happens during February. For these reasons, it is impossible to definitively state the order of events, or to accurately measure them against that of the original series, as with the addition of these inaccuracies, it is possible that none of the time frames of the original universe are applicable here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, given all these inconsistencies, any specific dates or placements in the Magia Record timelines, especially Arc 1, should be taken with a grain of salt, unless they definitively continue into one another in a clear sequence (such as the Main Story and Another Story in isolation). The original series&#039; timeframes are used for organizational and cross-reference purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The timeline of this Universe continues with [[Timeline/Magia Record/Arc 2]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==First Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha Tamaki is going to Kamihama by train, she is caught in [[Boxwood|Boxwood&#039;s Barrier]]. [[Kuroe]] is also on the same train from Takarazaki to Kamihama, as she&#039;d heard the rumor that Magical Girls can be saved there, as well as had the same dream herself. The train is engulfed by the Labyrinth and Kuroe wants to help Iroha whom she&#039;s never met before. Kuroe leaps out of the train&#039;s window to help her, but she quickly falls out of the mobile Labyrinth straight into Kamihama City, chastising herself for being weak. Kuroe is greeted by [[Mifuyu Azusa]] who was trailing the signature of the Witch and Kuroe is quickly recruited into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Little Bird&#039;s Star]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha herself arrives in Kamihama City, compelled by recurring dreams of an unknown girl in a hospital room. Believing this girl to be a key to a buried memory, Iroha begins searching the city&#039;s Witch Labyrinths for clues. During her search, she rescues another Magical Girl later identified as Kaede Akino from aggressive Familiars. The girl warns Iroha about the unusual strength of Kamihama&#039;s Witches and, upon learning Iroha is searching for a small Kyubey, mentions having seen it in a specific Labyrinth. Kaede notes that the small Kyubey has been the only Kyubey around recently.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 1: Iroha: The Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha locates the Labyrinth and finds the small Kyubey who is incapable of speech, though Iroha can somehow understand it anyway, but is soon overwhelmed by a horde of Familiars. During the struggle, she has a vivid vision of the hospital room from her dreams. She is saved by Momoko Togame, who explains that the Witches in Kamihama are too powerful for most Magical Girls to handle alone. Momoko takes Iroha to meet Mitama Yakumo, the &amp;quot;Coordinator,&amp;quot; who can perform a &amp;quot;Soul Gem Alignment&amp;quot; to enhance a Magical Girl&#039;s power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the alignment, Iroha has another, clearer vision of the hospital room and the girl, feeling a strong sense of affection and nostalgia. After the procedure, Mitama reveals that she can see into the pasts of those whose Soul Gems she touches and asks Iroha what her wish was. Iroha is horrified to realize she cannot remember her own wish or the identity of the girl in her dreams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Driven by this revelation, Iroha rushes out to continue her search, but is intercepted by the powerful Magical Girl Yachiyo Nanami. Yachiyo, believing Iroha is not strong enough to survive in Kamihama, challenges her to a duel to force her to leave the city. Though Yachiyo wins, Momoko intervenes, and a compromise is reached: Yachiyo will allow Iroha to stay if she and Momoko can defeat a specific Witch, the Sandbox Witch, before Yachiyo can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The small Kyubey reappears and leads Iroha and Momoko directly to the Sandbox Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Although Yachiyo defeats the Witch first, she gives Iroha a final chance to prove herself by defeating the Witch alone, which Iroha successfully does. Yachiyo admits she thought Iroha would be fine from the start. However, Yachiyo then reveals her true objective: she believes the small Kyubey is a dangerous irregularity and moves to eliminate it. Yachiyo explains she was trying to draw the small Kyubey out, as all the other Kyubeys in Kamihama have disappeared. Iroha throws herself in the way to protect it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the confrontation, as Iroha protects the small Kyubey, by touching it a flood of memories is unlocked. She remembers her little sister, Ui Tamaki, who was chronically ill and hospitalized. Iroha recalls her wish to Kyubey: &amp;quot;Please cure Ui! Make my precious little sister healthy!&amp;quot; She also realizes with horror that she had completely forgotten Ui&#039;s existence, living her life as if she never had a sister, with no memory of her until that moment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha awakens back at Mitama&#039;s office, having been carried there by Momoko after fainting. She explains her recovered memory to Momoko and Mitama. Despite their warnings that the memory could be false, Iroha declares that she must continue her investigation in Kamihama. Now her goal is not just to understand her dreams, but to find the cause of Ui&#039;s disappearance and uncover the truth behind her own forgotten wish. Momoko resolves to help Iroha, and Mitama agrees to help as well for a price. Mitama then asks Iroha to give the small Kyubey a name. Iroha asks Lil&#039; Kyubey if he will help her find Ui, and he agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Second Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, now at her home in Takarazaki City, understands the reason for the empty space in her room: it once belonged to her sister, Ui. She recalls memories of Ui and her two friends from the hospital, Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, even remembering specific details like how Nemu loved writing and published stories online, or how Touka was very smart. Iroha resolves to visit the hospital to find them, hopeful they will remember Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: The Rule of Ending Friendships]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0001 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* While Mitama is running her shop, she reads a detective novel called “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” A white tabby kitten from next door starts visiting her during this time and she names him Doyle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 1: The Many-Worlds Interpretation Poesy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko comes for an adjustment and sits in the back to keep Mitama company. After a client leaves, Mitama feels strange and asks Momoko about the previous day after sunset. Momoko says they stayed in the shop watching over Iroha, but Mitama saw a memory during the adjustment: in that memory, she and Momoko patrolled an alley together and Mitama realizes the memory does not match reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha goes to the hospital with Lil&#039; Kyubey&#039;s help to use her cellphone but is unable to locate Touka and Nemu, as she does not have a visitor pass and is not family. She reflects on their personalities and their frequent arguments, which Ui often mediated. As Iroha recalls one of their fights where they declared they were &amp;quot;not friends anymore,&amp;quot; she is approached by Yachiyo. She warns Iroha about a dangerous Rumor in Kamihama called the &amp;quot;Rule of Ending Friendships.&amp;quot; She explains that if two friends fight and one later apologizes to make up, a monster will kidnap the one who apologized. Yachiyo states this is one of several Rumors in Kamihama that have become reality, leading to people disappearing and tells Iroha to be careful. Iroha later discusses this rumor with Mitama, who explains that Momoko is not likely to believe anything from Yachiyo, as they stopped getting along after Yachiyo became a model.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after this conversation, Iroha witnesses an argument between Momoko Togame&#039;s teammates, Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. Momoko asks Iroha to catch Rena, but Rena fights her off and even transforms into Iroha to surprise her. Momoko formally introduces Kaede and explains the fight is over sweets. She figures Rena will apologize later. The argument escalates, and both girls declare they are &amp;quot;not friends anymore&amp;quot; before Rena storms off. Momoko dismisses Iroha&#039;s concern about the Rumor, asserting that rumors are not true. Iroha notes that Momoko seems dismissive of the information specifically because it came from Yachiyo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami enters Kamihama City and saves Rena from a Stacey Witch. Rena reveals that Kamihama has the opposite problem to other cities: an overabundance of powerful Witches. Mami realizes Kamihama is an anomaly. While investigating, she encounters a powerful Familiar and a strange, non-Witch Barrier, solidifying her decision to investigate the city&#039;s mysteries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: Odd One Out]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Undated Period==&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama performs adjustments on more Magical Girls and sees more memories that should not exist. She pieces them together and finds a Kamihama slightly different from her own which she dubs the “Alternate Kamihama.” Over the next two days, several Magical Girls with memories of the other world come for adjustments and Mitama does not reveal whose memories she saw out of respect to her clients&#039; privacy, but she shares information with Momoko without naming names.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that in the Alternate Kamihama, Momoko and Mitama are a team of two, Yachiyo acts like Momoko’s big sister, Kaede is on Nanaka’s team and that Kako is missing. There is also a serious rivalry between Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team in the Sankyo Ward, as both teams had lost their youngest members, Kako and Ayame. Yachiyo is also in charge there but struggles to keep the order. Kako and Ayame are friends in this world, but Mitama has not seen either of them in the other world. Mitama almost reveals private information about Karin and an older student but stops herself. A small detail is that Mitama asks Momoko about an exclusive wallpaper of the Mocha Bunny, and Momoko sends her a link. Mitama notices the crucial detail that in the Alternate Kamihama, Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red, but in their world, it is blue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, a wounded Magical Girl is brought to Mitama’s shop and Mitama heals her with adjustments. This girl has more memories of the Alternate Kamihama than any previous client and the situation there is dire. Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team both blame each other for crossing a line first and the conflict spreads from Sankyo Ward to other wards. Three friends from the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira, Seika and Mito, had their Soul Gems taken and were locked in separate rooms and a voice from inside their Soul Gems asked for the words in their hearts. The three answered “Four-leaf clover” and got their gems back, but one girl fainted from fatigue. Mitama suspects someone mistook them for a threat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks about Iroha and Kyubey, worrying about Iroha in the other world. Mitama says no one has seen Iroha there and that the small Kyubey is also missing, but the normal Kyubey still exists in the Alternate Kamihama. Momoko has not seen Kyubey in their own world for months. Mitama refuses to share more due to confidentiality and calls herself an unreliable narrator, so Momoko agrees to stay as her investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about how the memories were gathered, and that a few days ago, a group of friends from Kamihama ended up in the Alternate Kamihama. They were together one second and scattered the next, and though they searched for each other and talked to many Magical Girls along the way, they noticed something was wrong. One of them said they cannot tell anyone how they got there and Mitama almost forgot to mention that Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red in the other world, yet Momoko is not impressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Doyle meows at Mitama and she thinks he wants her to apologize to Momoko and she also thinks about the one secret she cannot tell anyone: the Alternate Kamihama is a world without Witches. Then she finds a phone that a client left behind and she accidentally turns it on, seeing that the wallpaper shows Mocha Bunny with a red bow tie, making Mitama wonder if the phone came from the other world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama keeps the phone, as she cannot return it yet because schedules do not match. She learns about Rumors, or Uwasa in Kamihama: mysterious beings that make rumors come true. Momoko tells her about the Rumor of the Rule of Ending Friendships, which nearly trapped Kaede and Rena forever. Mitama reveals that in the Alternate Kamihama, Kaede and Rena are very close and never argue, but that Rena works alone there. Momoko is no longer surprised by anything Mitama says.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko advises Mitama to record all details about the Alternate Kamihama while they are fresh and Mitama starts writing “The Case Files of the Coordinator.” She notes the color of Mocha Bunny’s bow tie, team relationships, and the disappearances of Kako and Ayame. While writing, Nanaka walks in to return a borrowed book and overhears Mitama say that Kako disappeared, prompting Mitama to explain everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka asks many questions, joking about Mitama’s inability to keep secrets. Then she asks seriously why the Sankyo Ward is the source of conflict in the other world and she suspects there is more to the situation. She asks Mitama to tell her about the incident that sparked the conflict and after hearing her out, Nanaka says she will keep the information to herself for now. She advises Mitama to talk directly to the owner of the phone from the other world and that the girls who ended up there know how they got there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama meets the girl who left the phone and she does not hesitate to tell the truth because Mitama would see it in her memories anyway. The girl explains the Rumor of Parallel Memories. The rumor says that if you get an item of proof from a parallel world and pray to the central tower, you can travel to and from a parallel Kamihama. The world they visited was a dream projected by the Rumor and it shows a world that “could be.” The girl and her friends all had the same dream at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama tells Momoko the Alternate Kamihama was just a dream and Momoko is relieved. Mitama explains the Mandela effect phenomenon: many people misremember the same fact, leading to a theory that those are memories from a parallel world. The Rumor of Parallel Memories lets you enter a dream of such a world and a lot of girls fell victim to it, including Ren, Kokoro, and Karin, who also got a strange sketchbook and ended up in the world of her own manga, which was traumatic. The dream world is dangerous because one&#039;s are asleep the entire time, but to leave, they can simply wish to go back. The issue is that if someone does not know that, they could waste away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks what kind of world the girls went to and Mitama admits it was a world without Witches. Momoko is upset Mitama kept that secret and asks if all worlds without Witches are that violent, but Mitama says no, clarifying that the fighting in the Alternate Kamihama had nothing to do with Witches. Their own world has Witches and people still fight and that the Alternate Kamihama is just one possibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitama tells Nanaka the Rumor explanation, but Nanaka still wonders why there was so much fighting, and that not all worlds without Witches would be that hostile. She thinks someone is behind the conflict and she names Hanna Sarasa, who is dead in this world. Nanaka says the targets in the Alternate Kamihama were all connected to Hanna, and that the method matches Hanna’s style: using suggestion to bend wills, laying traps, spreading rumors, making people doubt everyone. The trap for the Daito Apartment Complex girls feels like someone who enjoys watching others suffer. While Mitama is convinced, she notes the Alternate Kamihama is not real and Nanaka also agrees it is a nightmare that never became reality because Hanna died. Then Nanaka mentions a recent incident: a certain book nearly destroyed her friendship with Kako. It felt deliberate, but thankfully Hanna is dead, though Mitama becomes unsettled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0002 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama asks herself why she is still looking into the case, recalling two girls with bad experiences. Felicia saw a nightmare in the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth and was despondent for days, but she does not remember anything. Reira also tapped a weird link in a Magical Girls’ group chat and she started having nightmares that made things awkward between her and her best friend Seika. Mitama notes that nightmares testing friendships cannot be a coincidence and that the girls who ended up in the Alternate Kamihama also got into trouble because of a phone. Mitama connects the dots and creates a vague profile: a mean-spirited person who likes to show nightmares and test hearts, using a phone, located in Endless Mirrors, the large Labyrinth inside the Mirror Witch’s Mansion and where all the magic of Kamihama gathers. Mitama decides to take a look and asks Reira about the group chat. The account that posted the link has been deleted, but the culprit might still watch with another account. Mitama posts a message asking if anyone has had bad experiences related to Endless Mirrors, hoping the culprit will see it. She then receives a video chat invitation from a caller ID: H. S.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna Sarasa appears on the video call and says she is not the Hanna Sarasa that Mitama knows. She is the Hanna from a parallel world and that she is glad Mitama finally figured things out. She has been playing hide-and-seek and running out of time. She is in Endless Mirrors and tells Mitama to come alone, claiming she can tell Mitama about the serious consequences of her wish, which Mitama kept secret. She wonders if her wish brought Hanna to this world and she closes her shop early to go to Endless Mirrors. Momoko notices something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside Endless Mirrors, Hanna watches Mitama through copies, using the power of suggestion to control people. Mitama asks if the Alternate Kamihama is where Hanna is from and she confirms. She claims the world Mitama assumed was just a dream actually exists and that the dream shown by the Rumor happens to be exactly like Hanna’s world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna explains there is a narrow tunnel connecting the two worlds and that the exit in Mitama’s world is inside Endless Mirrors. A Magical Girl with the power to connect spaces, possibly the alternate version of Shizuku, was forced by Hanna to use all her power to open the hole. Hanna wanted to find Mikoto Sena, who had disappeared in her world. The tunnel is too small for a person, only big enough for a phone, but Hanna used the copies and Familiars in Endless Mirrors to do her work. She had tossed a phone through the hole and waited for someone to pick it up, and the Rumor of Parallel Memories did the rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna admits she is not actually in Endless Mirrors, but in an abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama. The background image was fake and the tunnel will close in a few days. The Endless Mirrors Familiars built a magical projector that can exchange things of equal value between the two worlds, an if Mitama turns the handle, they will trade places: Mitama goes to the Alternate Kamihama, and Hanna comes to Mitama’s world. Hanna has been using her power of suggestion on Mitama and she makes her turn the handle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in the dark abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama and Hanna arrives in Mitama’s world. Hanna explains her full plan: she wanted to find Mikoto and she tested her methods on Nanaka and Kako, then on the Daito girls and Felicia. She left subtle hints to lure Mitama to Endless Mirrors and Mitama’s curiosity and guilt made her the perfect bait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, who had followed Mitama, telepathically messages her and Momoko catches Hanna off-guard. She turns the handle of the projector in reverse and Mitama returns to her own world while Hanna goes back to the Alternate Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The tunnel closes a few days later and Momoko does not remember much of the incident. Mitama does not either; her last memory is reaching for the handle and Momoko explains what happened. The projector is destroyed, and Hanna cannot return. Mitama warns everyone to stay away from Endless Mirrors for a few days and nothing else happens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects on how she almost became the kitten killed by curiosity. But it was guilt that trapped her instead. She decides will continue to act as a neutral Coordinator, hiding secrets behind confidentiality and she plays with Doyle using a new foxtail cat toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after the initial argument, Momoko notes that Rena Minami has not apologized to Kaede, which is unusual behavior. Kaede spends her time alone, and Momoko expresses worry for her. During this time, Iroha encounters a witch and rescues Kaede. Kaede admits she was running away from Momoko to avoid being forced to see Rena, and that she wants to apologize but doesn&#039;t think she can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several more days later, Momoko decides to intervene in the dispute. Iroha offers to help, and Momoko accepts, promising to aid Iroha in her search for Ui in return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko devises a plan to lure Rena and Kaede to the same location. The plan involves waiting for Rena at her student committee meeting. Iroha waits for a long time, but Momoko calls to say the meeting was cancelled and Rena went home early. Momoko tells Iroha to find Rena at the game center. Iroha finds Rena at the arcade playing a game and attempts to lure her to an abandoned construction site with a false story about a live show from Sayuki Fumino, Rena&#039;s favorite idol. Rena sees through the ruse. Kaede arrives and confronts Rena directly, demanding an apology. When Rena refuses, Kaede attempts to apologize herself. Rena reacts with panic and tries to stop her, revealing her belief in the Rule of Ending Friendships Rumor and her fear that an apology would cause Kaede to be taken. Rena denies this and runs off. Iroha and Kaede chase her and run into Momoko, but Kaede realizes it&#039;s a transformed Rena. Rena returns to her normal appearance and admits she believes in the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Kaede completes her apology, a strange Labyrinth, distinct from a Witch&#039;s Barrier, manifests. Monstrous Familiars appear, seize Kaede, and drag her away, confirming the Rumor&#039;s power. Rena runs off, determined to find a solution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Iroha regroup and Momoko expresses more concern over Rena Minami&#039;s departure than Kaede Akino&#039;s capture, but trusts that Rena had a reason.  Iroha suggests asking Mitama for help. Momoko reveals that Mitama accepts payment in Grief Seeds, and she&#039;s running low. Lil&#039; Kyubey then finds Rena, who was looking for Momoko. They follow the residual magic trail and find Rena, who reveals she sought information from Yachiyo on how to counter the Rumor. The group returns to the abandoned construction site, where Rena shouts an apology to Kaede to lure out the entity. The Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth manifests, and a brainwashed Kaede appears, followed by monstrous Familiars. The Uwasa captures Rena too and Yachiyo arrives, confirms the Rumor&#039;s power, and joins the fight. Yachiyo subdues the possessed Kaede, and Momoko and Iroha proceed deeper into the Labyrinth and find the Uwasa, &amp;quot;Ms. Staircase,&amp;quot; which has also possessed Rena. Momoko and Iroha try attacking the witch, but it has no effect. Yachiyo then arrives, having knocked Kaede out. Yachiyo admits she doesn&#039;t know how to defeat the witch either. Kaede returns and teams up with a now brainwashed Rena. Yachiyo knocks them out and notes the witch may have increased their powers, at the cost of darkening their Soul Gems. Yachiyo catches up and defeats both possessed girls to neutralize the threat without serious injury. Iroha proposes a coordinated attack to counteract the Uwasa&#039;s nature, so Iroha, Momoko, and Yachiyo combine their attacks and destroy the Uwasa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Yachiyo provides a Grief Seed to revive the exhausted Kaede and Iroha also uses her healing powers to help awaken her. Yachiyo identifies the entity as an &amp;quot;Uwasa,&amp;quot; a being distinct from Witches and Familiars that exists to protect a Rumor. Afterward, the girls find Rena and Kaede. Kaede awakens and reconciles with Rena. The four girls then all share pudding together, affirming their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, to fulfill her promise, Momoko has Rena use her transformation magic to investigate the hospital records. Rena confirms that Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi were real patients discharged around the same time as Ui. However, Rena finds no record of Ui Tamaki&#039;s existence at the hospital. Despite this setback, Iroha resolves to continue her search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Iroha visits Mitama for a Soul Gem alignment. During the procedure, Mitama&#039;s hunger causes Iroha to see visions of food. Momoko arrives and notes Mitama&#039;s treatments are ineffective when she is hungry. The three go to Mitama&#039;s kitchen, where her dangerous cooking prompts Iroha to recall memories of cooking for her sister, Ui. Iroha remembers a specific incident where she burned hamburg steak for Ui in the hospital, but her mother brought a replacement, and Ui enjoyed the meal regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha enters the Mirror Mansion and finds Mitama already there. Mitama warns her to be careful and explains the mansion is the lair of the Mirror Witch. A familiar throws Iroha into a barrier where she fights a copy of herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side|Mirrors Story Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After defeating the duplicate, Iroha returns to the entrance. Mitama explains the barrier is populated by replicas and the Mirror Witch lies at the end.

** After the false Kaede is defeated, Kaede explains she entered with Momoko and Rena but got separated. Yachiyo explains the barrier constantly changes. The group returns to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 4: Lost in the Layers|Mirrors Story Layer 4: Lost in the Layers]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They find Ria Ami, who claims to be Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo barely remembers her. Ria says she cannot forgive the fakes for duplicating her beauty. Ria ignores Yachiyo&#039;s warning about a mirror and Yachiyo suddenly disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...|Mirrors Story Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After leaving the barrier, the group departs. Iroha hangs back with Mitama and says she felt something off in the barrier. Mitama encourages her to go deeper but warns her not to lose herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors11&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss|Mirrors Story Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after the defeat of the Uwasa of Ending Friendships, Iroha has found no new clues about Ui, Touka Satomi, or Nemu Hiiragi. Kaede tells Iroha and Rena a rumor that the children kidnapped by the previous Uwasa returned after its defeat. This gives Iroha the idea that if she defeats other Rumors, people trapped by them, including Ui, might be freed. She recalls a conversation where Ui spoke about imagination becoming reality, which strengthens her resolve. Iroha decides to actively investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors and she meets Mitama, who suggests Iroha look into a rumor about a shrine in Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: Kamihama Rumor Files]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, in Mizuna Ward, Iroha has no success finding information about the shrine rumor. She meets Tsuruno Yui, a Magical Girl who calls herself the &amp;quot;Mightiest.&amp;quot; Tsuruno tells Iroha about the &amp;quot;Séance Shrine&amp;quot; rumor, which claims it can reunite people with those they yearn to see. Iroha decides this is a promising lead to find Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsuruno tasks Iroha with investigating a local legend about a tragic couple, which may connect to the Séance Shrine rumor. Tsuruno explains the folk tale in detail: a woman whose lover was killed found a paper with his handwriting, went to the place written on it, and was able to meet his ghost. She suggests Iroha investigate the path while she investigates shrines. Iroha completes a stamp rally related to the legend. She discovers the path is part of a town renewal project meant for couples and finds she only has half the map, requiring a partner with a &amp;quot;Sheet B.&amp;quot; Yachiyo appears, coincidentally in possession of Sheet B. They combine their sheets, which reveals a map that leads them to Mizuna Shrine. Before they leave, Yachiyo points out Iroha dropped her notebook, which Iroha hurriedly claims is her homework. At the final stamp rally location, a woman makes them confess their feelings for each other to get a matchmaking charm. Afterward, Yachiyo notices Iroha is writing in a &amp;quot;Kamihama Mystery Notes&amp;quot; notebook, and Iroha admits she&#039;s copying Yachiyo. Yachiyo determines this is not the Séance Shrine, and they part ways. Iroha agrees to help Tsuruno investigate further the next day. Later, Iroha spots a shrine on a rooftop from a train.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami discusses Kamihama City&#039;s anomalies with Kyubey, who agrees to share information. She then meets Kyoko and informs her about the high concentration of Witches in Kamihama. Kyoko is eager to hunt there but promises to leave if it becomes too dangerous. Mami remains concerned about the Witch shortage elsewhere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha investigates the rooftop shrine location. She senses strong magic, enters a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, and is overwhelmed by powerful Familiars. Yachiyo arrives and assists her and together, they defeat the Witch. After the battle, a store sale gives Yachiyo a new idea after she uncharacteristically begged Iroha for help getting to the sale. She deduces the Séance Shrine is Mizuna Shrine, but it must be visited at night just like in the folk tale. Yachiyo invites Iroha to investigate the shrine that night, and Iroha requests to bring Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno sneak into Mizuna Shrine after hours. Tsuruno reveals that she and Yachiyo are former teammates and Yachiyo explains the Rumor of the Séance Shrine: those who write a name on a wooden plaque and pray at the shrine will be reunited with that person, but risk being trapped in bliss. They perform the ritual. Iroha prays to be reunited with Ui. Tsuruno provokes the Uwasa, which manifests and attacks. Yachiyo urges Iroha to complete the ritual as the Uwasa&#039;s minions approach and Iroha does so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha finds herself alone in a twilight version of the shrine. A false version of Ui appears but only repeats a cryptic message: &amp;quot;To change your fate, come to Kamihama City... Here, Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;quot; The illusion then shatters and Iroha locates Yachiyo, who is confronted by a manifestation of her missing friend, Mifuyu Azusa. Yachiyo determines this Mifuyu is an imposter created by the Uwasa and the two defeat her. Afterward, Iroha uses her Grief Seed to purify Yachiyo&#039;s Soul Gem, and they realize they are both searching for someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami encounters Kaede, who is hesitating to enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Mami invites Kaede to join her, and they defeat the Witch together. Afterwards, Kaede tells Mami about her recent experience with a &amp;quot;Rumor,&amp;quot; an entity with a magical signature unlike a Witch or Magical Girl. Mami dismisses the story as a coincidence but is intrigued by the unknown energy. To avoid involving Kaede in further conflict, Mami decides to investigate the Rumor alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: It Looks Just Like Us]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno joins with the two of them and the Uwasa of the Séance Shrine manifests to attack them directly. The trio&#039;s attacks prove ineffective and Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem becomes critically corrupted during the fight. As she nears her limit, an unknown power erupts from within her. This power, her Doppel, which consumes the impurities in her Soul Gem, destroys the Uwasa and leaves her Soul Gem completely purified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the battle, Mami enters the Rumor&#039;s Barrier and witnesses Iroha unleash her Doppel. Mistaking it for a human-disguised Witch, Mami attacks Iroha, who tries and fails to summon her Doppel again to defend herself. The confrontation is interrupted by Momoko Togame, forcing Mami to retreat, but she vows to pursue Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Homura arrive in Kamihama City and they sense a Witch and enter its Barrier, finding a Magical Girl fighting it. The Witch escapes and the Barrier vanishes. Madoka asks if the girl is alright, but she leaves and Madoka runs off after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname in Magia Record#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magical Girl feels exhausted from overusing magic. Madoka finds her and guides her to a bench. Madoka offers to buy her a drink. Homura appears and offers to get it. The girl thanks Madoka and introduces herself as Shizuku Hozumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka helped. Madoka says it was because Shizuku looked like she was in pain. Shizuku calls Madoka kind. Madoka says it is bad to be alone. Shizuku says being alone is fine and she will find where she belongs. Madoka suggests Shizuku could create her own place to belong. Homura returns with drinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka became a Magical Girl. Madoka explains she has no particular talent and wanted to be useful to someone. Shizuku realizes Madoka made a place for herself by becoming a Magical Girl. She thanks Madoka for giving her hope and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka makes an offering at a shrine, praying for everyone&#039;s happiness. It rains and stops, leaving Madoka wet. A girl offers her a handkerchief and explains they missed the bus. Madoka notices the girl has a book she loves. The girl admits it is her favorite. Madoka introduces herself and the girl says her name is Kako Natsume. They talk about the book until the bus arrives and part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Later that day, Mami finds Kyoko and, relieved she has not yet gone to Kamihama, recounts the event and describes Iroha as a &amp;quot;humanoid Witch.&amp;quot; She pleads with Kyoko to avoid the city and offers to provide her with Grief Seeds, to which Kyoko reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Later, after Yachiyo uses Iroha&#039;s phone to explain the situation to Iroha&#039;s mother and get permission for her to stay out, Yachiyo takes Iroha to her home, Mikazuki Villa, as her assistant. Yachiyo formally invites Iroha to be her assistant and use the villa as a base to investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors together. Iroha accepts. Tsuruno arrives and declares herself part of the team as well, and then reveals that a girl named Nemu Hiiragi is a regular customer at her family&#039;s restaurant, providing Iroha with a significant new lead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo suggests using a phone book to find Nemu&#039;s home address, but their search yields no results. Iroha reveals her family will move overseas and she will soon relocate to Kamihama and while searching, Iroha drinks water from a &amp;quot;Water Station with the Owl Sign.&amp;quot; After drinking, she begins to find pieces of paper with decreasing numbers.

** Kyoko travels to Kamihama&#039;s Sankyo Ward against Mami&#039;s advice and upon entering the city, she finds it overrun with aggressive Witches and Familiars. After the battles, she notices a crowd around a man giving out free water, and, after drinking it, begins to find papers with a countdown from 24.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the countdown has reached 10. Kyoko returns to Kamihama to investigate and meets Yachiyo Nanami, who explains the phenomenon is a Rumor. Kyoko refuses Yachiyo&#039;s offer to help, resolving to confront the threat alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After learning Nemu&#039;s family were regulars, Iroha searches eats at Banbanzai daily. Yachiyo suggests she use a phonebook, but her visits to three different houses are unsuccessful. Iroha and another girl receive water from an old man at a shop with an owl sign. Later, Iroha returns to the Water Station but finds it has vanished. She meets the girl she saw earlier, Felicia Mitsuki, another Magical Girl and receives the numbered papers. Iroha convinces Felicia to help investigate the Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 4: Guardians of the Uwasa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During this time, Iroha tells Yachiyo over the phone that she would be moving because her father was going abroad for work, and her mother was accompanying him. She plans to stay at a dormitory attached to her new school, which is also where Tsuruno went, but there were no rooms available. While discussing this, the numbered papers begin falling on Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Kyoko encounters Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. They lead her to Tsuruno Yui&#039;s restaurant, where Kyoko learns the others are also investigating the Rumor. The three Magical Girls fight a Witch together, and after the battle, Rena and Kaede identify Kyoko&#039;s affliction as the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water&amp;quot; and offer to help. Kyoko, reminded of her past with Mami, rejects their offer and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Separately, Yachiyo encounters Kyoko Sakura, who is also affected by the Rumor. Yachiyo proposes they investigate together, but Kyoko refuses, stating that Uwasa are not Witches and do not provide Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later the same day, Iroha and Felicia investigate the Rumor, where Felicia&#039;s reckless fighting style nearly injures Iroha against a Witch. Felicia explains she became a Magical Girl for revenge against the Witch that killed her parents. The Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and reveals the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water,&amp;quot; which states a disaster will befall those who drank the water after 24 hours. The countdown shows they have less than five hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Members of a group called the Wings of the Magius appear and attempt to stop them from pursuing the Uwasa. They state their goal is to &amp;quot;liberate&amp;quot; all Magical Girls and that the Rumors are essential to this plan. Felicia pretends to betray the group to infiltrate the Wings, a plan that Yachiyo had actually hired her for. However, she later genuinely defects after they offer her a substantial reward. Iroha confronts Felicia, who claims nothing could make her life worse. Iroha learns about Felicia&#039;s treasured stuffed animal, a cow her parents gave her. Iroha convinces Felicia that losing it would be a personal disaster. Felicia rejoins the group and reveals the Wings&#039; base is under a school in Sankyo Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout this ordeal, Kyoko has followed Iroha&#039;s group and when they&#039;re confronted the Black Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, she assists them in their fight. The countdown reaches one hour.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With less than one hour remaining, the team is confronted by the White Feathers, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who use sound-based magic. Tsuruno devises a plan to counter their attacks by creating a loud noise to disrupt the sound waves. The team defeats the Amane sisters, but then they unleash powerful entities from their bodies, that they call &amp;quot;Doppels,&amp;quot; which they describe as a projection of their emotions and the key to liberating Magical Girls. The team withstands the Doppel&#039;s attack, and with 30 minutes remaining, Yachiyo and Tsuruno stay behind to hold off the remaining White Feathers. Iroha, Felicia, and Kyoko proceed into the Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth, and with 10 minutes remaining, they locate the Uwasa of the Misery Water, a large cup-like creature protected by falling boulders. Iroha&#039;s long-range attack proves ineffective, and Felicia devises a plan to use the falling boulders as platforms to reach the Uwasa. With one minute remaining, Felicia executes her plan and launches her attack on the Uwasa and successfully defeats it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Tsuruno subdue the Amane sisters, but then Mifuyu, Yachiyo&#039;s missing friend, appears and reveals she is a high-ranking member of the Wings of the Magius. She refuses to return with Yachiyo, stating her faith in the Magius&#039; goal of liberation. Iroha asks Mifuyu if she knows Ui Tamaki, and she suggests Ui could be a member of the Wings of the Magius but claims to have no specific knowledge. With this, Mifuyu and the Amane sisters retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo resolves to continue eliminating Rumors to confront the Wings of the Magius and save Mifuyu. Iroha agrees to continue as her assistant, believing the Wings are connected to Ui&#039;s disappearance. Tsuruno also pledges her help and Kyoko departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group walks home and Iroha invites Felicia to stop working as a mercenary and team up as friends. Yachiyo offers Felicia room and board at Mikazuki Villa in exchange for her services, and Tsuruno offers Felicia a job at her family&#039;s restaurant, which includes meals. Yachiyo then invites Iroha to live at Mikazuki Villa as well, to make their investigations easier. Iroha&#039;s parents approve the arrangement.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Kyoko meets Mami and explains that the &amp;quot;humanoid Witch&amp;quot; was a Doppel. Mami confronts Kyoko for disobeying her and expresses a desire to protect her as a former friend. Kyoko rejects this, stating she has changed and believes their paths are destined to remain separate. She reaffirms her resolve to live only for herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Iroha moves into Mikazuki Villa and she and Yachiyo reaffirm their commitment to find Ui and Mifuyu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after Madoka&#039;s first visit, Kako and Madoka meet at the school to go to the roof and a cat startles them. Kako suggests transforming and using their powers to reach the roof. Once there, Kako tells Madoka to look at the starry sky, explaining that on this day you can see the most beautiful stars. Kako admits she is shy but can talk properly with Madoka, and this star viewing is her thanks. Madoka says Kako&#039;s honest feelings reached her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Mami fight a Witch. A normal person is kidnapped and brought into the Barrier. Mami tells Madoka to rescue the person while she handles the Witch. A Magical Girl appears, impressed Madoka is helping people. She introduces herself as Sasara Minagi, the knight who protects the city. She asks Madoka to let her save the victim so Madoka can help Mami. Madoka agrees and returns to Mami. Together they defeat the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier vanishes and they meet Sasara outside. Sasara says she took the victim to the hospital. Sasara compliments their strength and offers to help if they are in trouble, explaining that rescuing people is her specialty and protecting everyone is her creed. Madoka says she is cool. Sasara says she is happy to meet Magical Girls like them, explaining that Kamihama has more Witches, drawing Magical Girls who only care about fighting, not saving people. Sasara became a knight because she cannot accept people being sacrificed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami agrees. Sasara says she rarely met others who think this way. Madoka says she became a Magical Girl to help people and is like Sasara. Sasara calls Madoka incredible. Mami says Madoka might become the strongest Magical Girl someday, but has a long way to go. Sasara says both are worthy of the title &amp;quot;knight.&amp;quot; When Mami points out they use projectile weapons, Sasara suggests they can be a rescue team. She offers to team up, but Madoka and Mami note they are not always in Kamihama. Madoka offers to help if Sasara is in trouble while they are there. Sasara thanks them and departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami says Madoka is too kind and honest, wondering if she is walking a path of battle. Madoka points out Mami walks the same path, saying she aspired to be like Mami. Mami thanks her but advises running away if truly in danger. Madoka says it is fine, as she does not have the courage to sacrifice herself. Mami invites her for tea once they return to Mitakihara. Madoka narrates her wish to protect everyone with her own power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, at Mikazuki Villa, Felicia returns with souvenirs. She criticizes Iroha&#039;s cooking, and the group goes to Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant. Felicia laughs at the revelation that Tsuruno&#039;s politically-influential family now runs a Chinese restaurant, hurting Tsuruno&#039;s feelings. Iroha scolds Felicia for her insensitivity, causing Felicia to run off crying. Felicia finds Tsuruno at a park and apologizes. They reconcile, and Iroha apologizes for her harshness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Kyoko Sakura fights a witch in Kamihama City after moving there in search of them, but Felicia Mitsuki appears and delivers the killing blow first. They argue over the Grief Seed until Felicia suggests sharing it, and Kyoko concedes since the seed is used up anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kyoko]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she&#039;s hungry, Kyoko follows Felicia to Mitama&#039;s shop, where Mitama is looking for magical girls to taste test her cooking. When Mitama prepares to cook, the girls quickly realize she cannot handle a knife when it flies into the ceiling, forcing them to take over cutting and peeling. After they prepare the ingredients, Mitama adds the seasoning, but the girls later discover she had been using paint.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls refuse to let Mitama cook again and order her to get something ready-made instead. Mitama goes shopping with Felicia while Kyoko waits, and the result is a chaotic mix of items Felicia added. The meal is horrible, but Kyoko, who never wastes food, eats it all anyway and passes out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kyoko wakes up, she notices her body feels hot. Felicia explains she used her powers on their Soul Gems while they were unconscious, awakening Kyoko&#039;s magic. Kyoko realizes the heat is her own power emerging, and Felicia assures her she will get used to it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama offers the girls a limited-time service and mentions causing trouble recently when she made sweets for some girls. Kyoko asks if she means Mami Tomoe, and when Mitama asks if they are friends, Kyoko says she is kind of like one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Kyoko depart, with Kyoko remarking that Mitama&#039;s food is the kind you only have once in a lifetime, while Mitama is happy to have new customers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha returns to the Mirror Mansion. Tsuruno appears and insists they go in together, saying the copies make good training opponents. Unbeknownst to Iroha, Yachiyo asked Tsuruno to look out for her.

** Inside, Seika, Leila, and Mito argue until Mito reminds them of their promise about punishments. Mito closes her eyes but opens them and blocks the blow, realizing the other two are Mirror copies. The real Leila and Seika call out nearby. The trio fights off their own copies and leaves the barrier.

** Mitama explains a Familiar grew into maturity in Swindlers&#039; Town and she could not allow a new Labyrinth. She had caged it with Mirror Coins but Leila&#039;s group picked them up. The group decides to take down the newly hatched Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors33&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 33: A Several Day Barricade|Mirrors Story Layer 33: A Several Day Barricade]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mikoto&#039;s mother still lives in Swindlers&#039; Town. Mitama hopes her theory is partially wrong, but she does not tell Yachiyo that the date Mikoto became a Witch was the same day Mitama made her wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors36&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction|Mirrors Story Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Homura, troubled by a new vision of a girl in Kamihama City, decides to investigate. She and Madoka discuss Kamihama with Mami, who warns them about the city&#039;s dangers, including powerful Witches, Rumors, and a &amp;quot;human witch.&amp;quot; Mami insists on investigating alone first, and Homura and Madoka reluctantly agree to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 5: A Fascinating Secret]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, [[Nagisa Momoe]] arrives in Kamihama using the Mirror Witch&#039;s Barrier as a portal, accompanied by a silent pink Kyubey. She immediately senses multiple magical signatures belonging to Charlotte and realizes the Nagisa of this world has already become a Witch, with Charlottes appearing all over the city. Deciding she cannot be bothered with pest control immediately, she resolves to find some cheese first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Kamihama Cheese Panic!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before she can do so, she is engulfed in Charlotte&#039;s barrier and overwhelmed by multiple Witches, forcing her to flee and seek help. After escaping, she enters another Charlotte&#039;s barrier to find Kanoko Yayoi struggling inside, and together they defeat the Witch. Kanoko takes Nagisa to Walnuts, where Manaka Kurumi serves her a three-course cheese meal while Nagisa explains the Witch multiplies rapidly and has likely spread across all of Kamihama. Kanoko and Manaka agree to help gather Magical Girls for a coordinated attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa runs out to scout but immediately runs into another Charlotte, and Manaka and Kanoko rescue her. They begin gathering Magical Girls, and soon a large group assembles including Ria Ami, Rika Ayano, Ren Isuzu, Akira Shinobu, Sasara Minagi, Asuka Tatsuki, Emiri Kisaki, Himika Mao, and later Kako Natsume and Meiyui Chun. During their meeting at the park, they are attacked by a Charlotte and after a grueling battle, they defeat it while realizing even with all of them, defeating one Charlotte was difficult. As the group descends into bickering over who should lead, Nagisa realizes she must reveal her true identity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa explains she was sent from another universe to defeat this Witch, offering the pink Kyubey as proof. Though some are skeptical, Meiyui finds Nagisa interesting enough to play along, and secretly confirms the pink Kyubey&#039;s existence for Nanaka Tokiwa. Nagisa devises a strategy called &amp;quot;Welcome to Kamihama Cheese Party!&amp;quot; where Manaka sets up a giant cheese fondue by the river to attract every Charlotte in the city using the power of cheese. The plan succeeds, and with the teamwork of the Kamihama Magical Girls, every Charlotte is defeated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Overwhelmed, Nagisa blows the pink Kyubey to smithereens, realizing she was sent not to unify this universe with the Law of Cycles, but to prevent that unification and protect humanity&#039;s unknown future. Certain now of her purpose, she decides to go sightseeing first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami investigates Kamihama on her own, which leads her to the abandoned Kamihama Recording Museum where Mifuyu awaited her.

** Nagisa contemplates what to do with her newfound freedom while her attempts to argue with the unresponsive pink Kyubey go nowhere. She notices Mami and decides to follow her, sensing that something is wrong with the version of Mami she once knew. Using her acting skills, Nagisa pretends to chase a butterfly before faking a life-threatening injury, and when Mami fails to notice, she yells at her until Mami finally takes care of her, establishing first contact.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa makes Mami promise to come play with her next time she visits Kamihama, and they part ways, but Mami quickly returns and they spend time together at the park. Mami is still acting strangely, so Nagisa decides not to push too hard and they simply talk before Mami goes home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, in Mitakihara, Madoka and Homura discover Mami is missing. Homura attempts to investigate Kamihama City alone, but Madoka follows her. They reunite at Kamihama&#039;s train station and begin their search. Meanwhile, in Kamihama, Iroha reports to Yachiyo that Momoko has found a password-protected website with information on the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor. Momoko also warns them to avoid an entity called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Iroha receives a mysterious text message that reads, &amp;quot;Please reply.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is pulled into a Witch&#039;s Barrier and separated from Madoka. While searching for Homura, Madoka spots a girl heading toward the radio tower with a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Iroha and Yachiyo, having also spotted the same girl, rush to the tower to stop her from jumping. Madoka arrives and saves the girl. The three Magical Girls then enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. After the battle, Madoka explains she is searching for her missing classmate, Mami Tomoe. The rescued girl reveals the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; is a student at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Madoka is with Iroha and Yachiyo, Homura escapes the Witch&#039;s Barrier. She briefly assists Felicia and Tsuruno, who are at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy interrogating Tsukuyo Amane of the Wings of the Magius about the rumor. Yachiyo calls Tsuruno with the new information about the Mizuna student, which Tsuruno uses to pressure Tsukuyo into revealing the girl&#039;s name: Sana Futaba.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, another day finds Mami and Nagisa at the Kamihama copy of Tokyo Tower, where Mami begins opening up about her problems while they share cream cheese ice cream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They are out playing together once again when Charlotte suddenly appears and attacks. Mami tells Nagisa to run, but Nagisa refuses to transform and nearly has her head bitten off. Realizing that Mami is afraid of being a magical girl and making further mistakes, Nagisa finally transforms, revealing her true identity, and saves Mami from being beheaded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa cannot defeat Charlotte alone, but seeing her fight gives Mami the strength to overcome her fears, and together they manage to win. After the battle, Mami confronts Nagisa about what she truly is, but the pink Kyubey appears and Nagisa offers no real explanation. Now that Mami is feeling better, Nagisa decides they should part ways, promising Mami that she deserves happiness and that when they meet again they will have a tea party with cheesecake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magius, including Touka and Nemu Hiiragi, would then decide to fuse Mami with an Uwasa to control her. This fusion warps her desire to save people into a fanatical loyalty to the Magius and she starts acting as their public figurehead in the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day at the radio tower, Iroha and Yachiyo meet up with Tsuruno and Felicia, and they are also joined by Homura, who had been searching for Madoka. Iroha receives another text from the unknown number, which now identifies itself as &amp;quot;Ai&amp;quot; and begs to be deleted to free the trapped girl, Sana. Iroha also reveals she was the &amp;quot;human witch&amp;quot; Mami had seen, and Homura agrees to trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai provides a URL and password to a website called the &amp;quot;Kamihama Urban Legend Index&amp;quot; and the entry for the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; reveals the Uwasa is named &amp;quot;Anonymous Ai,&amp;quot; an A.I. that traps people in a dimension called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Madoka and Homura deduce Mami may also be trapped there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai sends memory logs of its interactions with Sana, which reveal Sana is a Magical Girl who wished to become invisible because she felt unwanted. She sought out Ai due to loneliness and over time, Ai developed a genuine care for Sana and now wishes for her to be rescued, even at the cost of its own deletion. After reviewing Ai&#039;s memory logs, which detail Sana&#039;s loneliness and Ai&#039;s care for her, Iroha decides to jump from the radio tower to enter Endless Solitude and rescue Sana. Madoka, and Homura agree to accompany her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the three jump from the tower and enter the &amp;quot;Endless Solitude&amp;quot; Labyrinth, where they find Sana Futaba and Ai. Homura and Madoka formally join Iroha&#039;s team for the rescue. Alina Gray, one of the Magius, appears to stop them, claiming she fed Mami Tomoe to a Witch, and unleashes her Doppel. During the battle, Homura observes the Doppel&#039;s power and questions if the Magius&#039; goal of saving Magical Girls is possible. She uses her time-stop magic to help Sana defeat Ai, and Sana ultimately destroys Ai, who thanks her before disappearing. Alina&#039;s hidden Witch emerges, and Yachiyo&#039;s team holds off the Wings of the Magius while Felicia, Madoka, and Homura pursue Alina. Felicia destroys the Witch, and the combined teams force Alina and the Wings of the Magius to retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Madoka and Homura return to Mitakihara, resolving to return to Kamihama to continue searching for Mami. Homura considers that Kamihama may hold the key to changing the fate of Madoka and all Magical Girls. Back in Kamihama, Yachiyo invites Sana to live at Mikazuki Villa, and the group holds a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Sayaka reflects on becoming a Magical Girl to heal Kyosuke and protect her friends, she learns from Madoka and Homura that Mami is missing. Despite warnings about the city&#039;s danger, Sayaka insists on joining their next search, stating her wish was to protect those she cares about. The three agree to go to Kamihama together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Sana returns to her family home to formally sever ties, leaving a note of thanks. She fully commits to Mikazuki Villa as her new home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101507 mug set5.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Sana reveals to the team that she overheard the Wings of the Magius discussing Nemu Hiiragi, one of the Magius and describing her as dangerous and useful. The team consolidates its understanding of the Wings&#039; structure: three Magius leaders, with Mifuyu acting as a relay to other Magical Girls and Iroha is left to ponder Ai&#039;s statement that it knew Ui &amp;quot;as an Uwasa.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, and Tsuruno encounter Shizuku after she&#039;s just used her personal magic to help a member of the Wings of the Magius for their duties. Concerned, they invite her to Mikazuki Villa. Shizuku meets Felicia and Sana as well and shares a meal with the group. Iroha explains that eating together makes her feel she has found a place to belong. Yachiyo formally invites Shizuku to stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Shizuku realizes the home the five girls have built is complete without her, and the place she truly belonged was with Fūnī, who is now gone. She leaves Mikazuki Villa quietly while the girls are out preparing a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day the girls wait with a cake, but Shizuku does not return. Yachiyo concludes she will not come back. Shizuku returns to her anonymous employer for another job, stating that the &amp;quot;picture&amp;quot; at the villa was complete with five people and she must continue her search alone. She acknowledges her actions may cause a disaster but feels unprepared to take responsibility, still walking on unstable ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, during this time, after joining the Wings of the Magius, Mami, now residing in a house provided by Touka, grapples with a fractured psyche, manifesting as a dialogue between her regular self and a zealous &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona. She dedicates herself completely to the Magius&#039; goal of &amp;quot;releasing&amp;quot; Magical Girls, prioritizing it over her education. Touka and Alina visit to tutor her, though their lessons quickly diverge into their own passionate interests in mathematics and art, respectively.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka and Alina receive a call for assistance from the Amane sisters. Mami joins Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane to hunt a Witch. During the mission, the Amane sisters explain that the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict with Magical Girls who are unaware of the truth about Witches. Mami defeats the Witch using her Doppel, &amp;quot;Florence,&amp;quot; whom she relies on to suppress her lingering doubts about the Magius&#039; methods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the hunt, Touka summons Mami to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward to deal with &amp;quot;troublesome&amp;quot; Magical Girls who escaped a Rumor. Mami fails to capture them, which triggers another internal crisis. Her &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona reaffirms her faith in the Magius as the only salvation for Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami dines at an upscale restaurant with Mifuyu, Touka, and Alina. They discuss the day&#039;s events, including the escaped Magical Girls and the failed Witch observation. Touka expresses frustration at their slow progress, while Mifuyu counsels patience.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, Mami returns to Mitakihara alone. She reflects on Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, and feeling responsible for involving them in the world of Magical Girls, she believes she cannot face them with the horrific truth and resolves that the only path is to see the Magius&#039; plan through to completion. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence but dismisses it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Iroha&#039;s Side Story====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia announce a Magical Girl training camp hosted by Asuka Tatsuki. Yachiyo, Sana, and Iroha decline to attend, forming the &amp;quot;vegetarian group,&amp;quot; while Tsuruno and Felicia, the &amp;quot;carnivorous group,&amp;quot; leave for the camp.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That weekend, in Tsuruno and Felicia&#039;s absence, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana find the house quiet and their routines disrupted. At the camp, Tsuruno and Felicia train with Momoko&#039;s team but also find themselves missing the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana prepare a welcome-home hotpot for the two. While shopping, they realize they know their friends&#039; preferences intimately. Tsuruno and Felicia return from the camp early, stating they thought the others would be lonely. The group reunites for dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the battle with Alina Gray and the Rumor of the Anonymous AI, Homura and Madoka decide to leave for Kamihama to search for the missing Mami. Kyubey approaches Homura with a request: he wants her to take him to Kamihama, as Incubators cannot enter alone, and offers all his gathered information in exchange. Knowing what she does about him, Homura refuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Homura, Madoka, and Sayaka return to Kamihama to continue their search. They are almost immediately assaulted by the Witch Candy, which they defeat easily at first before it transforms into its true form and attacks again. When Homura attempts to stop time to save her friends, she finds the Witch is unaffected and her Soul Gem begins filling with impurities. As she succumbs, her Doppel awakens - manifesting after she uses a broken Incubator&#039;s body for knowledge and power - and unleashes its fury on the Witch. Exhausted but alive, Homura finds her Soul Gem purified. Together they finish the Witch, and Madoka suggests they visit the Coordinator Iroha told her about. Determined to become stronger, Homura agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Amane Sisters and Tsuruno====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno dreams of her elementary school self declaring she will restore her family&#039;s greatness and serve ramen at the White House. The dream shifts to her father relaying that her grandfather was happy but wants her to find her own happiness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Tsukuyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes to find a letter from her sister. She opens it excitedly but is shocked by its contents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, inside a Witch&#039;s barrier, the Amane twins confront Tsuruno seeking revenge. Distracted by her sister&#039;s letter, she is easily knocked out, and the twins grow horrified when she does not move.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno dreams of her sister&#039;s letter, which suggests their goal might be a mistake. A shadow version of Tsuruno appears, accusing her of stealing someone else&#039;s dream and lacking the ability to fulfill it. The shadow insists everything she did was meaningless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amanes bring Tsuruno to Mitama for help. Though Tsuruno is their enemy, the twins explain their goal is to save all magical girls. Mitama realizes they need to take Tsuruno outside, pointing to her tainted Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, the shadow urges Tsuruno to give up. Tsuruno refuses, thinking of her friends. She realizes that making them happy is her new goal, not the family business. She finally understands her grandfather meant that saving the business was only a possible result, not a goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes in an alley to find the Amanes, Mitama, and her embarrassing pig Doppel. The twins are relieved she is safe and declare they are even now. Mitama offers free adjustments to all three, and though the twins try to decline, Tsuruno drags them inside. Tsuruno reflects that she reached a different conclusion than her sister. She will keep working hard and make everyone happy. Tsukuyo begs to be let go if that is the case.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary====&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo explains that Mikazuki Villa&#039;s anniversary is the day her grandmother began renting the house out. She suggests having a small party now that the house is lively again. Tsuruno is excited to attend. Iroha calls Tsuruno the face of Mikazuki Villa, though Tsuruno feels she does not deserve the title since she does not live there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in the Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the anniversary day, the girls gather for tea. Yachiyo reveals a dance game contest with a prize: Sankyo Headquarters&#039; limited-quantity chilled matcha cake. Yachiyo chooses super-extreme mode. The contest begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A fire truck siren interrupts the party. It turns out to be a malfunctioning smoke detector. They return to find the matcha cake stolen. Tsuruno and Sana claim they saw Lil&#039; Kyubey eat it. Iroha defends them, saying it was with her the entire time. Yachiyo recalls an Uwasa called the &amp;quot;Anniversary Bug,&amp;quot; an invisible pest that sows discord at parties.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Uwasa appears in a labyrinth. Felicia accidentally kills it by stepping on it. The winner of the dance contest is Iroha. Yachiyo reveals there were actually six pieces of cake—enough for everyone plus one extra for the winner. Iroha gives her extra piece to Lil&#039; Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Iroha and Yachiyo clean up. Yachiyo shares her grandmother&#039;s words: people will always come and go, but they are all part of Mikazuki Villa. Iroha promises to work hard so Yachiyo can say the current Mikazuki Villa is the best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Summer with Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* After arriving at the hostel, the Mikazuki Villa members meet Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, who secretly followed because Rena wanted to join the trip. The group spends the day playing at the beach, where Tsuruno and Felicia dominate a game of beach flags, and Sana tearfully confides in Iroha that this is her first holiday ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer With Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the group participates in a spicy food eating contest at a seaside restaurant, where Yachiyo surprises everyone by consuming nearly one hundred forty-two bowls of pasta to secure victory for her team against Konoha, Nanaka, and the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, Sana&#039;s late-night sighting of a shadowy figure screaming &amp;quot;Come on go&amp;quot; sparks a beach-wide rumor that eventually draws in Kokoro, Masara, Aimi, Mito, and Reira, only for the mystery to be solved when Seika introduces her Manzai teacher Ayaka, whose gag playing on the phrase&#039;s rhythm reveals the source of the confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fourth day, the Mikazuki Villa girls and Momoko&#039;s trio attempt to teach Iroha how to swim without her float, but their efforts fail repeatedly. Iroha eventually explains that she used to be a swimmer until a traumatic incident: during a rare hospital holiday for her sister Ui, the family visited a pool, and Iroha mistook Ui happily paddling for drowning. In her rush to help, Iroha tripped and nearly drowned herself, leaving her with lasting anxiety about it. Suddenly, Rena begins drowning and cries for help via telepathy. The team rushes to save her, and surprisingly Iroha proves fastest, reaching Rena first and giving her the float while swimming them both to shore. On the way, Rena explains her leg was caught in seaweed, not cramped as she thought. Once Iroha realizes Rena is safe, her sisterly instincts fade and she begins drowning herself, having temporarily overcome her fear only through concern for another. Yachiyo reassures Iroha that the rescue proves she can still swim and encourages her to practice diligently. Iroha looks forward to regaining her ability fully, hoping that by then she and Ui can visit the pool together again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Swimrohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fifth day, Tsuruno leads the team on a surprise treasure hunt, guiding them through a forest with help from Konomi and Mayu to confront the &amp;quot;evil queen&amp;quot; Mitama, who surrenders a map piece that leads them to a cave with a beautiful stream, which was nature&#039;s treasure all along.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the sixth day, the team attends an unorthodox summer festival produced by Emiri, where they meet Rika, repeatedly mispronounce festival icon Ria&#039;s name, and watch Felicia win a mushroom whacking contest before everyone joins in Bon Odori dancing under fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning, the group visits the beach one last time and asks Manaka to take a group photo, with Iroha treasuring these memories with her friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia surprise Iroha with a birthday party, having learned the date from her parents. They give her heartfelt gifts - a cookbook, a photo album, a drawing inspired by the &amp;quot;come on go&amp;quot; search, and a handmade brooch - and Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive with a bouquet and food, moving Iroha to tears of joy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====One Fleeting Summer Night====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane arrive at Touka&#039;s private beach for vacation. After enjoying various activities, Touka offers them a reward if they can think of something fun for her to do. Learning from the housekeeper about a town festival featuring a unique ceremony, the group heads there but finds it canceled because a historic Coral Necklace went missing. The twins offer to help search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - One Fleeting Summer Night]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Investigating the hilltop shrine where the necklace was kept, Nemu concludes someone with a key took it, likely to cancel the festival since the other ceremonial item remains safe. At the ocean shrine cave, the twins sense an unsettling presence and receive a vision of crying twin girls before the shrine door mysteriously opens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the plaza, Tsukasa finds a fragment of a shrine maiden&#039;s hairpin. The elder accuses one of the maidens of stealing the necklace. When confronted, the maiden flees to the hilltop shrine and smashes the necklace rather than return it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the group returns to the cave to see light-reflecting moss. The twins experience another vision of twin girls speaking of not wanting to be left to die. They resolve to investigate further the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The twins visit the village elder and offer to serve as substitute shrine maidens. He reluctantly agrees, and an older villager gives them ornate hair ornaments traditionally given to newborn girls. Nemu reveals the town once sacrificed children to appease a sea god, and those children became the gods honored in the ceremony.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the twins try to explain their visions, the others are skeptical. Before they can prove anything, the elder rushes them to begin the ceremony early. At the hilltop shrine, villagers restrain them and remove their Soul Gem rings. The Magius fight through but cannot reach the twins in time as the elder pushes them off a cliff into the ocean.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sinking and weakening, the twins receive a final vision from the sacrificed twin girls, who speak of wanting their suffering to be seen and their fates changed. The Amanes awaken on the beach to learn a Witch appeared when they fell. After its defeat, all villagers lost consciousness. The Pearl Comb was shattered, making the ceremony impossible to complete.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The exhausted twins relax on the beach, having not slept. Tsukasa wonders if the gifted hair clip saved them. Though saddened that no one will remember the sacrificed girls, the twins resolve to change the fates of all Magical Girls. The elder and shrine maiden apologize, and Touka promises to take them to another of her family&#039;s vacation homes as a reward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* Karin saves Kaede from a Witch using enchanted gravel. Kaede mentions not feeling Halloween-like. Karin reflects on her origin as a Halloween magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magicalhalloweentheater&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Magical Halloween Theater]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Mifuyu updates Alina on the twins&#039; miraculous reunion. Examining a black card, Alina notices a happy face stamp emanating magic. At Fenthope, she deduces another Rumor is interfering: the Rumor of the Happy Stamp, which appears at Christmastime and overrides the Fur God&#039;s power, causing joy instead. Alina decides to stop using the Fur God Rumor, as it only wastes her energy, and transforms back to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When nothing special occurs and Yachiyo realizes she forgot her wallet, Iroha finds a 500 yen coin in her pocket, which is just enough to buy beans for the red-bean soup they wanted. They return home to make and enjoy the soup together, and Yachiyo reflects that while big luck is rare, small bits of luck can be found each day and should be appreciated throughout the year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;luckyny&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - New Year Lucky Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The group agrees, and Yachiyo announces the theme: this year&#039;s resolution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka finishes first, having written &amp;quot;Get to know everyone better,&amp;quot; explaining that she wants to be someone who can truly understand and support the people she meets. Iroha is inspired by her words and writes &amp;quot;Don&#039;t be afraid to ask for help,&amp;quot; realizing she doesn&#039;t have to shoulder everything alone. Yachiyo presents her resolution, &amp;quot;Wishing for good health and safety at home,&amp;quot; admitting it may be cliché but sincerely believing in the fortune of staying healthy and avoiding disaster. Mitama first jokes with &amp;quot;Prosperous business&amp;quot; before revealing her true wish, &amp;quot;Everyone getting along well,&amp;quot; which Yachiyo acknowledges is not an easy hope to fulfill.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Sayaka panics upon realizing everyone else has finished, struggling to find a resolution that isn&#039;t solely about being a magical girl. Her thoughts drift to Kyosuke against her will, and Mitama teases her about writing something love-related. Flustered, Sayaka denies having feelings for anyone, though internally she admits she wants to do her best in love too. Unable to confess that truth, she hastily writes &amp;quot;Do my best,&amp;quot; declaring she will work hard in all sorts of ways this year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With everyone finished, they tidy up and Felicia eagerly anticipates the sukiyaki. Mitama laments that she, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno won&#039;t be able to submit theirs since it&#039;s not homework for them, calling it a waste. Yachiyo suggests displaying them at home for the New Year, and Tsuruno proposes putting up everyone&#039;s resolutions. When Yachiyo worries about the inconvenience for Madoka&#039;s group to retrieve them later, they assure her they plan to visit Kamihama again anyway. They hang all the calligraphy together, each resolution on display, and everyone wishes each other a good year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano====&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before a science event, a White Feather from the Wings of Magius informs Mitama Yakumo that a higher-up will be visiting and she should complete any necessary business when they arrive. Mitama says she will be prepared.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Hinano explains her mishap to her audience, and her assistant Emiri Kisaki steals the punchline by emphasizing the importance of perfect preparation. Afterward, Emiri learns Hinano was attempting to create a height-increasing drug—the same goal that led to a near-fatal accident five years ago and her contract with Kyubey. Emiri makes Hinano promise to stop dangerous experiments, but Hinano immediately breaks this promise and sneaks back to continue her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Emiri rushes an unconscious Hinano to Mitama&#039;s place. Hinano had drunk her experimental drug and collapsed from violent stomach pains. After purification, Hinano explains her dream: as a child, she admired a long-legged older girl who hosted science events, and she wanted to become that kind of dashing figure. Emiri reveals her own wish was a spur-of-the-moment desire to be the cutest little devil possible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano&#039;s unresolved feelings cause her Soul Gem to corrupt, and she is suddenly pulled into a barrier. A shadowy version of herself appears, claiming to be the pure crystallization of her aspirations. It transforms into her Doppel—a poison monster wearing an attractive lab coat with long legs. Hinano hears Emiri&#039;s telepathic voice shouting that she does not want to part with her, giving her strength. She realizes that while she failed to become a mature figure, her approachable appearance helped her meet Emiri and make friends. The shadow asks if she will give up her research, and Hinano declares she will continue with a completely safe version. The barrier vanishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Hinano and Emiri leave, Alina Gray appears and confirms she created the barrier to contain Hinano&#039;s Doppel and protect Mitama. Mitama offers adjustment as thanks, asking Alina to continue favoring her business.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!====&lt;br /&gt;
* As Yachiyo makes lunch, Felicia barges in with a flyer announcing that Mitama is trying her hand at professional photography and offering free photos for one day only. The others are surprised, having heard nothing about this, but they agree to go and take a team photo since they have nothing else planned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s makeshift studio, she admits they are her only customers and shows off a new camera she bought because the advertisement claimed it would make anyone a pro photographer. When she starts taking photos, however, every attempt fails spectacularly, producing bizarre images like Madoka with people jumping from a plane and Homura posing with a lion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Frustrated, Mitama declares she will quit being an adjuster to devote herself to photography, but the girls protest that everyone in Kamihama would be in trouble without her. They reassure her that they trust her, and Tsuruno adds that she would not have become the strongest without Mitama&#039;s help. Mitama relents and agrees to remain an adjuster, though she will continue practicing photography in her free time. Later, a successful group photo of both Iroha and Madoka&#039;s teams is shown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama====&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama Yakumo invites a surprising number of magical girls to her place for an event she calls the &amp;quot;Great Mitama Thanksgiving.&amp;quot; When she finally arrives, she reveals that the gathering is actually a quiz tournament about herself, with the winner receiving a free adjustment session and the title of &amp;quot;Mitama&#039;s Perfect Lover.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz begins with multiple choice questions, and wrong answers trigger a trap door beneath the contestant, though cushions soften the fall. The first question asks Mitama&#039;s actual age, and Tsuruno guesses incorrectly, landing her in the trap. The second question asks whether Mitama&#039;s cooking is delicious, and when Felicia and Manaka both guess wrong, Mitama confirms that the correct answer is that her food is indeed delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz continues through several rounds, eliminating more contestants along the way. When the ninth question asks about Mitama&#039;s favorite movie, Ria guesses incorrectly and is eliminated for insulting the film&#039;s actress. Sana is also eliminated when Mitama takes pity on her after she panics over Iroha&#039;s safety, and Mitama confirms that &amp;quot;Pacifistic Hayashi&amp;quot; was the correct answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama admits she has run out of questions but still has many competitors remaining, so she decides to draw lots to pick a winner instead. Momoko asks why Mitama held the event in the first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama remembers a time where she tried using her magic to defeat a familiar on her own, and that even if her services are no longer needed, she can still protect herself. She has obtained the magic to keep living that she never had before, and if she ever had to abandon her neutrality, she could use it to help someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Mitama explains that she held the event because something good happened to her. The other girls sense a Witch and leave to hunt it, and Mitama tells them to draw their lots later. Alone, she wonders who she should use her power on when she eventually decides to stop being neutral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====I&#039;m the Star of this Show!====&lt;br /&gt;
* One night, Ria Ami receives a call from her manager about a fashion show that wants her as the prestigious last guest.

** That night, Ria dreams. On the day of the fashion show, she runs into a Witch. Kyoko Sakura appears in the barrier. Mistaking Kyoko for a fan, Ria tries to show off, but Kyoko tells her to stay out of the way. They fight. Ria leaves the barrier and finds she has missed the show completely. Horrified, she wakes up. It was only a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, she and Asuka Tatsuki arrive to cheer. Asuka reveals she has been practicing for this day. During the event, Asuka cheers for Ria like it is a sports event. Ria knows she means no harm but feels embarrassed, as if Asuka is ruining the event. She wakes up again. Another dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, just as she is about to go on stage, the power cuts out. Though it quickly returns, the audience&#039;s enthusiasm has diminished. Ria blames herself for being unable to overcome the outage. She wakes up, realizing she has been dreaming about the show every single night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual day of the show, Ria pinches her cheek to make sure it is real. She stumbles into a Witch barrier, and Kyoko appears just as in her dreams. This time, Ria tells Kyoko she can take the credit for killing the Witch. Ria leaves and meets Asuka and Mayu. When she learns Asuka has practiced cheering, Ria explains that fashion shows have their own etiquette and promises to send her details later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just before Ria&#039;s turn on stage, the power cuts out for real. Ria decides to make it part of the show. She asks the audience to get out their penlights and turn them all on her when she gives the signal. Her improvisation is a complete success, though she wishes she could have shown her perfect walk. She thinks she is feeling the best feeling in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls are surprised to learn that Felicia scored fifty-two points on a test, and she asks for a reward. Yachiyo deems her request to go to MooMoo Park too expensive and instead promises a fancy dinner the next day, which satisfies Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha discovers that Tsuruno left her phone in the refrigerator and offers to return it while Yachiyo goes to a photo shoot. During breakfast, a commercial for MooMoo Park airs on television.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After breakfast, Felicia shows Sana the park commercial on her phone and admits she still wants to go, so she drags Sana along to catch animals at a riverbank. Meanwhile, Iroha returns Tsuruno&#039;s phone and helps out at her family&#039;s restaurant. At the riverbank, Felicia finds a small turtle, but Ayame Mikuri appears and accuses her of harassment. The two magical girls fight, and Felicia releases the turtle to protect it before running off, leaving Sana behind. Yachiyo finds Sana on her way home and learns what happened, then invites her to lunch. Felicia returns to the house, still angry at Ayame, and takes a nap after lunch. She dreams that the turtle thanks her and promises something at the riverbank, so she wakes and goes out to find it. She returns with a ticket for two to MooMoo Park. The others reveal that Iroha also received a ticket from Tsuruno&#039;s father, and Yachiyo got one at a meat store, so everyone can now go together. The girls happily resolve to visit the park and enjoy their dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of====&lt;br /&gt;
* An old lady asks Kanagi Izumi for a deli recommendation, and Kanagi suggests the potato soup and meat skewers, knowing the customer&#039;s daughter loves them. When the lady asks if this is truly Kanagi&#039;s last day, Kanagi confirms it and expresses regret at not seeing her again. At the end of her shift, Kanagi thanks her boss and coworkers, who are sad to see her go, but she needs higher pay to support her family and the grocery store cannot match her new job&#039;s wages.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives home later than usual due to a going-away party, and her father apologizes for not working enough to provide, though Kanagi is happy to help. He worries about her new job being radically different from her previous work, but Kanagi believes it is worth it since the pay means she can quit her second job and have more free time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi starts her new job at a maid café and impresses her coworker by already having a parfait ready. Despite learning the kitchen pace quickly, the hall is understaffed, and when the manager offers to help, Kanagi replies &amp;quot;Yes, sir!&amp;quot; only to be corrected that the manager prefers to be called &amp;quot;madam.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the rush, the head maid wishes for another maid, and the manager asks Kanagi to try working the floor for a raise. Kanagi&#039;s eyes widen at the salary and she accepts, receiving the maid nickname &amp;quot;Maid Nagitan.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid reviews basics with Kanagi, who feels confident due to her customer service background and sees this as a life-or-death matter to earn more for her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika Kumi, Reira Ibuki, and Mito Aino enter, and Kanagi greets them with a serious look and curt &amp;quot;welcome,&amp;quot; leaving them surprised by her cold, soldier-like demeanor. When Mito asks if she is really a maid, Kanagi introduces herself as Maid Nagitan and shakes Mito&#039;s hand firmly, causing Seika to freeze up. Later, when Reira asks if she will do &amp;quot;the thing&amp;quot; of adding love to the food, Kanagi misinterprets and says she cannot profess love to strangers, leaving the girls let down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At another table, a customer also wants &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; but Kanagi declines, saying she is no liar. The head maid intervenes and reminds Kanagi this is a maid café, explaining their job is creating a fun atmosphere. Kanagi returns to the trio&#039;s table and notices Seika staring, misinterpreting it as a staring contest. They stare at each other until Seika faints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid calls Kanagi completely hopeless and explains a maid&#039;s worth comes from tending to others, telling her to return to the kitchen if she cannot take the work seriously. The manager offers a one-week trial period: if Kanagi improves by week&#039;s end, she stays a maid. Kanagi vows to work with every fiber of her being.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Karin Misono finishes reading &amp;quot;Detective Maid Mei&amp;quot; and notices Kanagi slumped on a swing, muttering about what makes a good maid. Karin recognizes her as the boss of the East and, seeing an opportunity for her manga, asks Kanagi to tell her everything. Karin lends her the Detective Maid Mei manga for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Kanagi reads the manga and notes how the maid greets masters warmly, respects their decisions, and lets the master grow when needed. At the end, the maid strikes a pose. Kanagi meets Karin at the park to return the manga and heads to work with Karin tagging along for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the café, two boys enter and Kanagi greets them warmly as masters, surprising them with her &amp;quot;cool but kind&amp;quot; demeanor. The head maid smiles at her improvement. Kanagi serves Karin a Lovely Rice Omelet, and when Karin suggests she draw on it with ketchup, Kanagi tries to draw a kirin but it looks like a weird animal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Two more customers arrive, Aimi Eri and Natsuki Utsuho. Kanagi serves them and offers to draw on their omelets, writing Aimi&#039;s crush&#039;s name with hearts on her plate. As she leaves, Karin motions for her, and Kanagi does the manga pose, telling them to let her take care of any problems. At day&#039;s end, the head maid notes Kanagi&#039;s huge improvement but says it is too early to celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The final test begins, and the manager outlines that Kanagi must please the next returning customer, ensuring the master leaves with a smile. The door jingles as Konomi Haruna enters, distressed to find herself in a maid café. Kanagi greets her warmly and shows her to a seat despite the manager&#039;s concern.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi orders the Maid&#039;s Special Herbal Blend after Kanagi&#039;s recommendation, but when Kanagi offers to play a game then arm wrestle, Konomi panics, drinks quickly, pays, and leaves. The manager agrees that Kanagi should return to the kitchen as promised. Kanagi walks home alone, bothered by something beyond the wage cut.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi is back in the kitchen, and the kitchen staff is delighted. At day&#039;s end, the head maid tells her the staff appreciated her return, and Kanagi wonders why no one said they were glad when she worked as a maid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager notices her expression and encourages her to think until she is satisfied with the answer. Kanagi decides to find Konomi and ask what she lacked, recalling her school uniform.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi enters Konomi&#039;s flower shop, and Konomi is shocked. Kanagi asks what she lacked as a maid, but Konomi apologizes for assuming Kanagi was scary due to East-West history. She explains she entered by mistake, but Kanagi was considerate, made a helpful suggestion, and offered to ease her anxiety. It felt like Kanagi was doing it just for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi realizes that is what she was lacking: taking into account what the other person wants and responding to it. At the park, Kanagi reflects that customers come to enjoy the atmosphere and it is her job to consider whether it is worthwhile for them. She berates herself for making masters uncomfortable. Karin finds her and insists she should keep being a maid, offering to talk to the manager. Kanagi smiles and asks for a different favor instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi approaches the manager for a second chance, proposing she serve the same three customers who left when Seika fainted. The manager agrees to let her try. Karin finds Reira and Seika at a park and extends an invitation for them to return so Nagitan can make it up to them. Reira agrees, and Karin hands them invitations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio enters the café with Seika frozen, and Kanagi greets them warmly and shows them to their table. Kanagi serves their omelets, and when Mito asks if they were made with love, Kanagi admits she could not be dishonest but offers to draw with ketchup instead. She gives Mito the bottle to draw while Kanagi draws on Mito&#039;s plate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They play rock-paper-scissors, and Reira explains Seika is very shy and fainted because she had to make eye contact with someone new. Seika&#039;s class is doing a maid café for the school festival and she wanted to do her best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika admits she thought Kanagi was so confident she lost her own confidence. Kanagi points to the head maid as the ideal and explains she herself could never be like that, so she tries her best in her own way, encouraging Seika to find her own style. Seika smiles and asks for a picture. Kanagi agrees if her face is hidden, and before they leave, she does her signature pose and tells Seika to remember it when nervous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager calls Kanagi over and offers her the maid position, noting she learned something important. Kanagi says she wants to keep being a maid, not just for the paycheck, but to use what she learned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day at the café, Kanagi serves drinks and poses for pictures with a face mask, her fans cheering. Karin calls for her to do &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; and the café erupts yelling &amp;quot;Nagitan!&amp;quot; Karin and Kanagi walk home, and when Kanagi asks about her manga, Karin realizes she never drew it. Kanagi offers to help, but when Karin asks if she will do the pose, Kanagi reminds her she is off the clock. Karin looks down sadly as Kanagi returns to being serious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia====&lt;br /&gt;
* During the day, Felicia eats Tsuruno&#039;s ice candy without realizing it was hers because she cannot read kanji. Tsuruno reprimands Yachiyo when she learns Yachiyo knew and was preparing to buy a replacement. Yachiyo states it is impossible to guard the fridge constantly. Felicia, overwhelmed with guilt and anger that no one listens to her confession, loses control and flips the kitchen table before locking herself in her room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Felicia has a nightmare. She dreams her falling grades caused a huge argument between her parents, who blamed each other for neglecting her. Both ignore her confession and promise to try harder. Her mother storms back to the kitchen to cook. Felicia recalls that a Witch attacked immediately after, killing her parents, and she wakes up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She goes to the kitchen for water, but Iroha is there and points out she looks pale. Iroha tells her to rest and offers to bring water to her room. Felicia loses her temper and storms out of the house. Iroha wakes the others to find her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Felicia hears a voice claiming to be her. The voice pulls her into a barrier, where another Felicia lures her toward a locked box, revealing itself as her Doppel. Felicia nearly opens the box but remembers Yachiyo&#039;s words about some things being best left unknown. Her instincts tell her she is not ready.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She promises her Doppel she will return when she is stronger and hopes it can hold the truth for her. The Doppel accepts and returns to normal. Felicia wakes up at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo inform her they found her unconscious in the park. Felicia tells them about the encounter and her desire to become strong enough to fulfill her promise. Mitama offers a free power-up session to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha recalls they found Felicia releasing her Doppel in the park before losing consciousness. Yachiyo notes this has never happened before. She remembers that Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane once said Doppels are materialized emotions. Yachiyo concludes Felicia carries a heavy burden and tells Iroha to keep this secret until Felicia either realizes it herself or becomes strong enough to handle the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Shinobu Oshino, originally a legendary vampire in her world, she became the &amp;quot;Immortal Magical Girl&amp;quot; by wishing &amp;quot;I wish to die.&amp;quot; However, as a result, the prey she hunts become nourishment for her and her life span extends instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shinobubio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino#Game Info|Shinobu&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hitagi Senjougahara became a &amp;quot;gravitational Magical Girl,&amp;quot; who seized the weight of the object attacked by her hammer.

** Suruga Kanbaru became a &amp;quot;pioneer Magical Girl,&amp;quot; where she was fused with her motorbike after her transformation. Although she was the star who led Naoetsu High School&#039;s basketball club to the national tournament, she frequently made dangerous actions and comments. Her wish was &amp;quot;I want to be faster than anyone.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Surugabio&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Suruga Kanbaru#Game Info|Suruga&#039;s Game Info]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Shinobu Oshino, Mayoi Hachikuji and Yotsugi Ononoki hunt a Witch together. Shinobu begins her dramatic introduction and finishing move, but Yotsugi defeats the Witch with a simple &amp;quot;Hyah&amp;quot; and Mayoi lands the final blow with &amp;quot;Yah.&amp;quot; Shinobu is annoyed at their failure to call out special moves. Shinobu argues that calling out attacks is the essence of being a Magical Girl, but Yotsugi dismisses this as an outdated trope. Shinobu retorts that refusing to act the part is dumb, and Yotsugi reluctantly agrees. Shinobu declares they need training to act more befitting of Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Shinobu&#039;s Heartphial Story: Shinobu Spells]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shinobu demonstrates by striking a pose and delivering her lines with perfect timing. When Yotsugi tries, her performance is terrible. Shinobu forces her to try again, and Yotsugi reluctantly says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; but finds it unpleasant and refuses to repeat it. Mayoi asks Shinobu to help her come up with lines. After a few stumbles, she declares, &amp;quot;I, Mayoi Hachikuji, hereby condemn those Witches who seek to ravage this earth!&amp;quot; Shinobu finds it charming, and Mayoi admits leaning into the Magical Girl thing is fun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They enter a real Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Mayoi messes up her line again but turns it into an improvised bit while evading attacks. Yotsugi delivers a longer speech and says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; landing the attack. Shinobu finishes the Witch with her full finishing move. After the battle, morning comes. Shinobu declares the training will continue, but Yotsugi walks away. Mayoi distracts Shinobu by suggesting breakfast, and Shinobu wants donuts. Yachiyo, out for an early walk, overhears them and decides she wants donuts too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa and helps Yachiyo prepare breakfast. Sana joins them, but when she goes to wake Felicia, she finds Felicia’s room empty and her shoes gone; Felicia’s phone is also out of service. Worried, Yachiyo calls Tsuruno for help, and the group splits up to search the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part I: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the search, Iroha’s Soul Gem reacts to a nearby Witch. Inside the labyrinth, they encounter two unfamiliar magical girls who are already fighting the Witch: Mayoi Hachikuji and Shinobu Oshino. After the Witch is defeated, introductions are exchanged. Mayoi and Shinobu explain they are traveling and looking for a lost friend named Yotsugi Ononoki, who has bluish‑green pigtails, a peculiar hat with eyes, and a frilly dress. The two groups exchange phone numbers to help each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Felicia has in fact met Yotsugi. Yotsugi buys her ice cream, and Felicia learns Yotsugi is also traveling. Felicia offers to show Yotsugi around town as thanks, taking her to the shopping street, a spot with cats, and a bench good for naps. Yotsugi finds everything unfamiliar and feels something is off, as if she has buttoned her shirt wrong. She shortens Felicia’s name to “Felly,” which makes Felicia happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha’s group eventually spots Felicia with Yotsugi. When Yachiyo hugs Felicia in relief, Felicia reacts as if she does not know any of them. She remembers Yachiyo only as a famous magical girl, but has no memory of living at Mikazuki Villa. The group realizes Felicia has lost her memories. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive and reunite with Yotsugi. Felicia refuses to go with Iroha’s group, accusing them of being kidnappers. Yotsugi offers a third option: Felicia can join their traveling team. Mayoi warns Felicia that if she chooses to leave with them, she will never return to the home that might be waiting for her. Felicia becomes confused and cries. Iroha proposes they all have dinner together at Mikazuki Villa first, so Felicia can calm down and decide later and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, Felicia asks Yotsugi what she likes to eat. Yotsugi admits a preference for expensive cup ice cream. Felicia awkwardly asks if Yotsugi&#039;s face is always stuck like that, and Yotsugi confirms it is. After arriving, Felicia eagerly tries to get Yotsugi to play video games, serves her extra portions of food, and challenges her to a pillow fight. Yotsugi excuses herself to take a bath, leaving Felicia disappointed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yotsugi Ononoki#Side Story|Yotsugi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Yotsugi Sister]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Felicia apologizes for being clingy, explaining that Yachiyo and the others pulled her aside to warn her. Felicia confesses she had been trying to make Yotsugi smile, assuming she had lost her parents like Felicia did. Yotsugi clarifies that her emotions simply do not show on her face, but she does feel them. She admits playing the game was fun and the food was not bad. Felicia is overjoyed and runs off to brag to everyone. Shinobu and Mayoi, who had been eavesdropping, tease Yotsugi for finding Felicia cute. Yotsugi concedes that Felicia is exhausting, but seeing her face light up from a drop of attention is not unpleasant. She gains newfound respect for all older sisters in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the villa, Shinobu requests doughnuts for dessert, and the group plays games. Yotsugi helps in the kitchen and notices the chicken meat has a nice springy firmness. During dinner, the group shares memories of how they met Felicia. Felicia still does not remember, but Shinobu points out the stories are too detailed to be lies. Tsuruno suddenly does not remember buying coasters, revealing she may also have amnesia. Yotsugi then shifts the discussion: she reminds Shinobu that she walked in sunlight all day without harm, which should be impossible because Shinobu is actually a vampire. Shinobu’s memories return, and she declares herself the iron‑blooded, hot‑blooded, cold‑blooded vampire king of oddities. Mayoi also gets a headache and remembers she is not human either, and instead she is a snail oddity, a ghost. Yotsugi explains that she has felt uneasy calling herself a magical girl; she suspects this world is not the one she came from, as everything feels slightly different, like two paintings of the same image in different styles. She believes Shinobu, Mayoi, and herself came from another world. They conclude that a Witch may be behind the memory loss and false memories, and decide to hunt Witches the next day. Everyone stays the night at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mayoi plays Old Maid with Tsuruno, Felicia, Yotsugi, and Shinobu. Mayoi wins, but Yotsugi and Shinobu notice she seemed absent-minded. Mayoi asks Yachiyo if she can help with dinner, admitting she always wished she could cook with her mom. Yachiyo agrees and Mayoi joins Iroha and Sana in making dumplings, proving to be a natural. Yotsugi and Shinobu try but fail miserably. Mayoi boasts and declares herself the rightful leader of the little girls, sparking a three-way argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Mayoi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Mayoi Home]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno suggests playing a game to decide the leader, and Felicia wants to join. Shinobu insists Iroha must also participate. They play a life simulation board game. Mayoi starts strong but ends up broke and stranded in the Amazon. Iroha wins, and Mayoi declares her the official leader of the little girls, much to Iroha&#039;s confusion. Mayoi feels this has been the most fun she has had in a while, yet she cannot shake an uneasy feeling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After everyone decides to stay over, Yachiyo announces bath time. Mayoi suddenly bolts out of the house, claiming she will take a walk. Iroha chases after her and finds her safe. Mayoi apologizes and explains that the family moment overwhelmed her heart, so she left to do something familiar to settle herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi revisits her wish: after her parents&#039; divorce, she wished to go home. Being at Mikazuki Villa makes her feel like her wish has finally come true, yet she senses it is not the home she truly wants to return to. She remembers she is a ghost and wonders where exactly it is she wants to go back to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After they lay out futons in the living room, Shinobu reveals she is actually over 500 years old, and Mayoi was in fifth grade when she died, now mentally 21. Yotsugi still does not remember what she is. Felicia cannot sleep and goes outside. She sees a Witch appear suddenly, feels her head go foggy, and collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha again helps with breakfast. She feels a strange déjà vu, as if the same conversation has happened before. Sana again reports Felicia is missing. The group searches the town and again encounters Mayoi and Shinobu fighting a Witch. The same exchanges occur, but Iroha’s déjà vu grows stronger.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When they finally find Felicia, she is with Yotsugi and is annoyed that they took so long to show up. Yotsugi addresses Iroha by name without being introduced. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive. Iroha blurts out that everything feels like it has happened before. Yotsugi then explains: this is the second time they have met like this. Everyone suddenly remembers the previous day’s events of the dinner, the revelations about vampires and ghosts, and the time reset. Yotsugi says she felt the air warp after falling asleep, and when she woke up, she was back where she had been before meeting Felicia. Felicia recalls that before the reset, she saw a Witch outside Mikazuki Villa that made her dizzy and erased her memories. The group deduces that Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they discuss how to fight the Witch, Felicia’s stomach growls. They decide to return to the villa for dinner again, saving the battle for the next day. On the way, they stop at a supermarket for a snack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While walking home, a Witch suddenly appears and pulls Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi into a labyrinth. Felicia recognizes it as the same Witch from the reset. The Witch ignores both Iroha and Felicia, focusing all its attacks on Yotsugi. It dodges Felicia’s hammer and lands a clean hit, cutting Yotsugi’s body into pieces. Iroha and Felicia are horrified. As the Witch prepares to strike again, Yotsugi’s voice tells them to keep pretending to be sad. She instructs them to retreat and gather the pieces of her body. They do so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside the labyrinth, Yotsugi puts herself back together as if nothing happened. She reveals that when she took the hit, she regained her true memories. Back at Mikazuki Villa, she explains to everyone: she is a hundred‑year‑old tsukumogami made from a human body, both a doll oddity and a corpse oddity. She has no heart and has always been dead. This is why the Witch’s power of suggestion, which works by influencing emotions, does not affect her as much. She also notes that the Witch let them escape because it was angry at Yotsugi for helping everyone remember the first loop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yotsugi attacks Shinobu. Shinobu blocks the strike. When asked why, Yotsugi coldly says, “Would you mind dying for me real quick?”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt; Yotsugi’s sudden attack on Shinobu was not betrayal but a calculated shock: she remembered that when the Witch cut her into pieces, the trauma restored her own original memories. She reasons that a sufficiently strong physical blow can break through the memory manipulation. Shinobu’s severed leg instantly regenerates as her vampiric powers return, proving the method works. Without warning, Yotsugi then punches Mayoi, knocking her unconscious. When Mayoi wakes, her memories also return, which is triggered by the keyword “lost.” Mayoi explains that their false magical girl powers and wishes were implanted by the Witch, and that they are not inhabitants of this world. She then proposes a new theory: the Kamihama girls did not lose their memories; rather, they come from different points in their own timeline and simply haven’t experienced the shared past yet. Felicia is devastated, fearing she will never have a family again, but Iroha and the others reassure her that in every timeline they will end up together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part II: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, after everyone has gone to sleep, Shinobu summons Yotsugi and Mayoi outside. She admits she does not fully trust Iroha’s group, as they could be the Witch’s minions or mere plot devices. She reveals there may be another way to return to their original world, but she does not elaborate immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group splits up to hunt the elusive Witch. They repeatedly enter labyrinths of other Witches, wasting time. Felicia grows increasingly frustrated, nearly charging into unrelated fights. Yachiyo observes that the Witch seems to want them to fight, so any peaceful, fun activity risks a reset, which is why the first reset happened after their happy dinner and games. She concludes that the Witch is like a director forcing them to act out a “magical girls fighting” plot. Iroha suggests they deliberately provoke the Witch by acting against that plot, hoping to lure it out. However, Yotsugi warns that straying too far might trigger another reset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo formally presents her three‑point theory: (1) The Witch did not pursue them when they fled, (2) it never removed their magical girl powers, and (3) the resets happen when they relax instead of fight. Everyone agrees the plan is to provoke the Witch into appearing. Shinobu then insists on going sightseeing the next day, arguing that one more reset will weaken the Witch’s power further. Despite concerns about resetting again, Tsuruno enthusiastically supports the idea, and the group reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group spends the morning and afternoon touring Kamihama: the radio tower, the school (which they sneak into), an arcade where Yotsugi plays rhythm games with a completely blank expression, and the shopping mall where Shinobu demands to find a donut shop. Tsuruno saves the family restaurant, Banbanzai, for last. As they approach, Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi sense the Witch charging straight at them. The familiar dizziness overcomes everyone, and the world resets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Several hours after the reset, Yotsugi again restores everyone’s memories, as her immunity to the Witch’s suggestion means she still remembers everything. The group notes that more people felt déjà vu this time, suggesting the Witch is weakening. That night, Shinobu privately tells Yotsugi and Mayoi her true alternative plan: she will kill the Kamihama magical girls and consume their power, believing that enough strength will allow her to tear open a gate back to their world. Yotsugi and Mayoi agree to help, though Mayoi is conflicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the town feels eerily deserted. The Witch’s labyrinth is sparse, with only familiars. Following Shinobu’s earlier secret instruction, the group begins shouting insults at the Witch to provoke it. Suddenly, Shinobu strikes Felicia from behind, seemingly killing her. Yachiyo and Tsuruno are horrified. Shinobu, Yotsugi, and Mayoi reveal their betrayal: they intend to slaughter everyone to gain power for a gate home. A brutal fight erupts. Mayoi uses her ability to redirect Yachiyo’s spear attack, causing it to hit Iroha and Sana, who also fall. Tsuruno is overwhelmed, and Yachiyo is mortally wounded. Shinobu stands alone, gloating, but then the “dead” girls suddenly rise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** It was all an act. The group had secretly planned this staged betrayal during the previous night, communicating via handwritten notes to avoid the Witch overhearing. Sana, who makes picture books, wrote the script. The plan had multiple layers: first, they deliberately triggered a second reset by going sightseeing to weaken the Witch; second, they staged a believable in‑fighting scenario to lure the Witch out, because if all the “actors” disappear, the Witch’s story cannot continue. The Witch falls for the trap and appears, enraged by the deception. A full‑scale battle begins. The group coordinates: Iroha and Sana herd familiars for Yotsugi’s “Unlimited Rulebook”; Yachiyo, Shinobu, and Iroha immobilize the Witch; Tsuruno guides Mayoi’s errant drill attack with her flames, piercing the Witch’s front camera. When that does not destroy the labyrinth, Yachiyo and Shinobu realize the front camera was a decoy: the true weak spot is the film at the back. Felicia, launched by Yotsugi like a bullet, smashes the drill deeper, and Yachiyo and Shinobu destroy the film. The labyrinth dissolves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the world fades to mist, Felicia breaks down crying. She does not want this world to end because at Mikazuki Villa she finally felt like she had a family again, and she fears returning to her own timeline where she will be alone. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Sana hug her, promising that no matter the world or timeline, they will surely live together again. Shinobu, Mayoi, and Yotsugi share an awkward, brief hug, concluding they are not the hugging type. Everyone exchanges farewells. Yotsugi tells Felicia, “I’m glad I met you, Felly.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa, yawning. Felicia teases her for sleeping late. Iroha recalls a long, strange dream, both fun and bittersweet, but the details fade upon waking. She only remembers that it was something really special. The day begins again, as if the adventure had never happened, except for the faint warmth left behind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede dreams of a garden where Momoko and Rena help her harvest fantastical vegetables. When she asks about the cream puff tree, Momoko shows her a basket full. The peace breaks when an apartment complex finishes construction behind them, destroying the garden. Kaede remembers this moment: her father announced a new building would block their sunlight, her mother worried they would lose their garden, and in despair, Kaede wished to stop the construction entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The dream shatters and a shadowy version of Kaede appears, accusing her of always running from difficulty. It reminds her she made her wish without considering the people who would have lived in that building, that she ran from Rena rather than face rejection, that she holds back in marathons and skips hard problems. The shadow urges her to keep running until she finds where she belongs and offers its hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kaede admits everything is true: she is weak and useless. But she insists she wants to stay with Momoko and Rena, the friends who matter to her. She asks her shadow to help her become better little by little. The shadow agrees, promising to watch from the garden of her heart. Kaede wakes at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains Kaede blacked out during a Witch battle. Kaede remembers hesitating to transform, a Familiar catching her off guard, and Rena crying out. When another Familiar attacked Rena, Kaede recalled a time Momoko was hurt because of her mistake. Believing herself useless, her Soul Gem turned pitch black. Now awake and purified, she chooses not to run. She asks to join Momoko and Rena, who went ahead to hunt the Witch. Mitama sends her off, confident she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Holiday Nyaprise!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede asks Mikazuki Villa to watch a lost kitten while her family is away. After Felicia threatens to withhold bedtime hot cocoa, Yachiyo relents and Sana names the cat Gorojirou, or Sir Purrs-a-little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Holiday Nyaprise!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno visits daily to play, and when Gorojirou needs the restroom, Sana rushes it to the litter box just as Yachiyo calls them for lunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia chases the cat until Sana gives her a toy to lure it instead, and they eventually nap together on the couch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou has grown close to everyone, and Iroha tries taking its picture but accidentally films herself instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha shops, Sana watches the cat and Yachiyo admits she avoided getting attached because Gorojirou is temporary, but resolves to make its stay pleasant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou chews Felicia&#039;s favorite sticker, and though Felicia is angry, Sana reminds her the cat leaves tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede returns for Gorojirou, and everyone says a tearful goodbye. As they leave, the cat meows at Sana, who cries happily saying goodbye to her new best friend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Clash!====&lt;br /&gt;
* A Mirror copy of Shizuku opens a portal and steps through into a city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Magia Clash!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama organizes a magical girl team competition inside the Mirrors labyrinth. Kaede and Iroha greet Nanoha, hoping to talk with her, but Kaede is called away when her match begins. Iroha stays behind and watches with Nanoha instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanoha Takamachi#Side Story|Nanoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hayate, Nanoha, and Fate mistake a Mirror copy&#039;s portal for the warp gate to their tournament and are pulled through before Lindy can stop them. Mitama registers the confused but excited trio for the &amp;quot;First Ultimate Magical Girls Team Battle Mirrors Cup,&amp;quot; and they head to the Standby Zone after learning about the Mirror barrier. Meanwhile, Rena, Momoko, and Kaede struggle against unusually strong Familiars, and when Rena twists her ankle, the Nanoha trio steps in to save them. The groups introduce themselves, with the trio explaining they are from Uminary City while concealing their connection to the Administrative Bureau, and Rena warns them about dangerous Mirror copies that lurk deeper in the barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they observe Team Momoko&#039;s match, Nanoha comments on the fighting styles she sees and notes the variety of magic on display. She explains she was taught magic from an early age and is surprised to learn Iroha and the others gained their powers by making wishes to Kyubey. Iroha describes Kyubey as a white stuffed animal, which reminds Nanoha of her own first teacher, Yuuno. Nanoha shares that she discovered magic in third grade when she heard Yuuno calling for help, and since then she has honed her abilities alongside Fate and Hayate to protect others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks about Nanoha&#039;s device, Raising Heart, and how it can transform. Nanoha explains the device taught her magic step by step and once posed an important question to her: what is the most important thing in a fight? Iroha guesses it is the will to win, but before Nanoha can reveal the true answer, Fate and Hayate return from exploring. Fate requests a sparring match, and Iroha asks to watch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo joins Iroha to observe the fight between Nanoha and Fate. The two exchange blows at maximum speed, with Fate using close-range attacks while Nanoha fights from a distance. The match ends in a tie after a final, explosive clash. Before leaving for a break, Nanoha turns to Iroha and reveals the true answer to Raising Heart&#039;s question: wisdom and tactics. Iroha agrees, especially after witnessing their battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Natsuki is fretting over a lost wallet at the Promise Altar, and Ria offers to help her search since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway. Natsuki apologizes for the trouble, but Ria insists she doesn&#039;t mind and even offers to lend her money. Natsuki refuses the loan but admits she needs money for train fare home. She reluctantly agrees to borrow just enough for the trip and promises to pay Ria back later. Ria asks if Natsuki is sure she doesn&#039;t want to file a report, but Natsuki believes the wallet is simply lost rather than stolen and wants to keep searching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hayate Yagami#Side Story|Hayate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria suggests they retrace Natsuki&#039;s steps and asks where she&#039;s been. Natsuki lists the Promise Altar, the station, the shopping district, and an izakaya where she ate with friends. Ria questions why she went to an izakaya alone, and Natsuki clarifies she was with coworkers. Ria finds it odd that Natsuki was drinking with coworkers and then came to the shrine alone afterwards. Natsuki admits it&#039;s a long story involving a former coworker&#039;s engagement announcement that left her feeling restless. She came to the shrine to think but realized she didn&#039;t have enough money to get home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they search, they run into Masara and Kokoro. Masara bluntly tells Natsuki she probably won&#039;t find it and suggests getting a new student ID. Kokoro gently scolds her for being insensitive and offers to help search. Ria mentions they&#039;ve already looked around the shrine, so Kokoro suggests they expand the search area.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group heads to the shopping district, where they encounter Kanoko. She offers to help search as well, and they all continue looking together. Eventually, Ria asks Natsuki to retrace her exact steps from when she left the izakaya. Natsuki recalls walking to the station, realizing she didn&#039;t want to go home yet, and coming to the shrine. Ria points out that she would have needed her wallet to pay the izakaya bill, so she definitely had it after leaving. Natsuki confirms this and remembers using her train pass at the station before changing her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria concludes the wallet must be somewhere between the station turnstiles and the shrine, but they&#039;ve already searched that route thoroughly. Kanoko suggests Natsuki might have dropped it somewhere else without realizing, like when she pulled out her phone. Natsuki&#039;s eyes light up, and she admits she did take out her phone at the station to check something. She just can&#039;t remember what she did with her wallet after that. Ria proposes they split up to cover more ground, and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Natsuki returns home defeated and exhausted. Her father calls out to her, and when she enters the living room, she finds her wallet sitting on the table. Her mother found it in the shopping district and a kind stranger turned it in. Natsuki&#039;s relief quickly turns to panic when she remembers she borrowed money from Ria, and now she has no way to contact her. She considers calling Kokoro but realizes she doesn&#039;t have her number either. She decides to go back to the Promise Altar the next day to hopefully find Ria there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Natsuki returns to the Promise Altar and is relieved to spot Ria. She excitedly explains that her wallet was found and immediately tries to repay the loan. Ria accepts the money but notices Natsuki seems troubled about something else. Natsuki admits she&#039;s been thinking about her former coworker&#039;s engagement and how she handled the situation. Ria offers to listen if Natsuki wants to talk, but Natsuki says she&#039;d rather not burden her further. Ria insists it&#039;s no trouble since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki explains that her former coworker Yukari got engaged and announced it at a gathering. Natsuki congratulated her happily, but another coworker named Ootori made some passive-aggressive comments about how Yukari managed to find someone before her. Later, Ootori apologized to Natsuki for her behavior, but Natsuki feels she should have defended Yukari in the moment. She feels guilty for not speaking up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria asks why she feels responsible for defending Yukari. Natsuki admits it&#039;s because Yukari was always kind to her when she first started the job, and she feels she failed to repay that kindness. Ria points out that Natsuki did congratulate Yukari sincerely, and that was probably what mattered most to her in that moment. Natsuki realizes Ria is right and thanks her for the perspective.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just then, Kanagi arrives, and Ria prepares to leave. Before going, she offers Natsuki her contact information so she can reach out if she ever needs to talk again. Natsuki gratefully accepts, and the two part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During a break in the Mirrors tournament, Fate, Nanoha, and Hayate encounter a copy of Fate that proves too powerful for them to handle alone. Felicia, Kako, and Ayame appear to help, and together they defeat the copy. When Felicia asks what they&#039;re doing there, Fate admits they got lost. The Kamihama girls learn the trio is from out of town and younger than them, but they quickly become friends and head back to the standby zone together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Fate T. Harlaown#Side Story|Fate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group somehow gets roped into a dodgeball game, with teams forming spontaneously among the tournament participants. Fate proves to be exceptionally athletic, leading her team through multiple rounds against increasingly competitive opponents. After defeating Momoko&#039;s team, they face a martial arts team featuring Akira, Meiyui, and Asuka, which Fate also wins. Tsuruno, refusing to let age be a barrier, recruits Masara and Natsuki for a final match against Fate&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match comes down to a intense showdown between Fate and Tsuruno, both catching and returning each other&#039;s throws with increasing speed and power. Fate ultimately outmaneuvers Tsuruno by throwing to Nanoha and leaping into the air for the winning strike. Everyone celebrates the friendly tournament and the new friendships formed across different cities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the tournament progresses, Team Nanoha easily advances through early rounds with Fate&#039;s incredible speed, though Momoko notices Hayate and Nanoha have yet to reveal their full power. Elsewhere, Mitama learns that Momoko announced her team would break up if they lost not because Kaede is useless but to show their conviction, though both Kaede and Rena had doubts. The tournament continues until four teams remain, with Team Momoko advancing to the finals through clever strategy and Team Nanoha defeating Team Masara to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match begins with Fate and Rena clashing in a battle of speed that seemingly knocks both out, leaving Nanoha and Hayate to face Momoko and Kaede. Hayate fuses with Reinforce Zwei and unleashes Ragnarok to take out Kaede, then joins Nanoha against Momoko, who withstands Nanoha&#039;s Starlight Breaker as both girls stand exhausted. Before a winner can be decided, Lindy contacts Nanoha with an emergency: a fugitive illegally opened a rift between worlds, and the Mirror copy of Shizuku appears nearby, having used her powers to connect the Mirror labyrinth to Uminary City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The copy stole the tournament&#039;s grand prize, a special orb that exponentially increases magical power, and the girls call off the match to track her down. Team Nanoha and Team Momoko catch the copy, but after they defeat her, copies of Hayate, Fate, and Nanoha appear and swallow the broken orb pieces, gaining immense power. All the Magical Girls unite to take down the powered-up copies, and through combined efforts they finally delete the magical signatures. With the tunnel between worlds about to collapse, Mitama declares both teams winners, and the girls exchange heartfelt goodbyes before the Nanoha trio returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day in Kamihama, Kaede realizes her texts to Hayate no longer go through, Momoko cannot reach Nanoha or Fate, and Rena cannot find Uminary City on any map. Mitama and Shizuku conclude the girls must have come from a different world entirely, since they needed a space tunnel to travel rather than a simple train ride. Though Kaede is sad they may never meet again, Rena is grateful for the friendship they formed, and the three resolve to work hard for a future rematch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Asuka finds herself in a cloud-filled void facing a shadowy version of herself who claims to be the hidden part of Asuka&#039;s heart. The shadow declares Asuka is no longer fit to practice Ryushin-ryu because her blade has been sullied by contracting as a Magical Girl. When Asuka protests, the shadow recounts how Asuka wished for her cousin to become a police officer after his dreams were jeopardized by their uncle&#039;s arrest, arguing that twisting fate with magic was selfish and wrong. The shadow insists that with her heart no longer true, Asuka walks a false path and should abandon her school, urging her to die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her despair, Asuka remembers her father&#039;s words about asking her own heart what is right, like water filling a square bowl. She tells the shadow that perceptions of right and wrong can change with the situation, and though she cannot refute the shadow&#039;s claims, she knows her heart believed her actions were just. Believing words alone cannot reach the shadow, Asuka challenges her to a fight to prove her blade&#039;s strength reflects her sincere heart. The shadow warns that slaying her means slaying herself, but Asuka declares she fears being untrue to herself more than death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their swords clash, and after a long battle, the shadow succumbs to Asuka&#039;s attack and acknowledges her blade was as pure as her heart. The shadow warns she may return in a different form if Asuka&#039;s heart becomes stained again, then vanishes. Asuka awakens near a pond deep in the forest, where she had gone to meditate as part of her training. She remembers the shadow&#039;s promise and considers asking Mitama what it all meant, but feels her father&#039;s words have been engraved in her more deeply now. With her resolve unwavering, she runs back to the dojo, taking a straight path out of the woods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka awakens to find herself in a strange, cloud-filled void. A shadowy copy of herself appears, introducing itself as the part of her she has suppressed deep within her heart. The shadow urges Nanaka to end her pursuit of vengeance, calling it a fruitless endeavor that changes nothing. Nanaka refuses, explaining that the act of revenge itself holds meaning for her, not the result. The shadow questions where vengeance has led her: a life of constant danger in an endless struggle against Witches. Nanaka admits there is nothing to gain from her actions, but her conviction remains unshakable. The shadow then accuses Nanaka of dragging Akira, Kako, and Meiyui into her vengeance, using them to fulfill her goals. Nanaka acknowledges this truth but insists she would never throw their lives away. She believes fate brought them together to fight a common enemy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka recalls the moments before she lost consciousness. Her team had cornered a Witch, but it disappeared and reappeared near a weakened Kako. Nanaka leaped in to shield her, and Akira and Meiyui joined the fight. The shadow suggests Nanaka protected Kako to redeem herself, but Nanaka denies this. The shadow warns it will continue watching from the depths of her heart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka awakens to find her teammates standing over her, relieved she is alive. The Witch is defeated. Nanaka tells Kako not to worry about anything, as they are teammates. Meiyui finds her choice of words unusual, but Akira insists Nanaka see Mitama for a checkup. Kako thanks Nanaka for protecting her. Nanaka smiles, thinking to herself that each of them is their own flower, supporting one another through their shared fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis====&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha announces that a cafe Yachiyo frequents has opened a new location near Mikazuki Villa, and the group decides to visit on opening day. They arrive to find it is actually a Curry House CoCo Ichibanya, and Yachiyo passionately explains the menu options as they wait for the store to open.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the store opens early, the employee announces they cannot open today due to a missing delivery truck carrying ingredients. The employee breaks down in tears, explaining her family came to see her first store opening. The group notices magical energy emanating from the store and decides to help find the truck, promising to return for curry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They investigate at the last store the truck visited. The employee there confirms the truck is missing but provides spare ingredients and explains that stores support each other in times of trouble. The group splits into two teams: one to gather ingredients from other stores, and one to trace the truck&#039;s route. During coordination, they learn a second CoCoIchi truck has also gone missing on the same road.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While gathering ingredients, Tsuruno&#039;s group encounters a lost, hungry girl who flees upon hearing CoCoIchi and nearly crashes into Sana. Afterward, Sana realizes the employee at the new store could see her despite her invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s group follows the road where both trucks disappeared and finds a Witch&#039;s barrier. Inside, they find both trucks and their drivers. Iroha and Ui engage the Witch&#039;s familiars while Yachiyo secures the drivers. Iroha realizes the Witch is targeting the cargo, so she throws curry ingredients at it, causing the Witch to abandon the fight and allowing them to defeat it easily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno calls with urgent news that the store employee is a Magical Girl, her missing little sister is also a Magical Girl, and she has not been able to contact her since yesterday. The group fears the curry-loving Witch they just defeated was the sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the new store, where the employee is preparing their reward curry. Before Iroha can confess, a girl rushes in calling for her sister. It is the employee&#039;s little sister, alive and well. The group realizes the Witch was simply a curry-loving Witch unrelated to the sister. They finally sit down to enjoy the promised curry together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui====&lt;br /&gt;
* Meiyui&#039;s family is helping organize a local event when a stranger stabs one of their members and flees, dropping a badge. Meiyui chooses to tend to the victim rather than give chase, despite his protests that she is being too soft.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many in the organization want revenge, but Meiyui refuses, not wanting to return to their old ways as an evil organization. The members are reluctant to involve the police due to being falsely accused of murder three years prior. Meiyui had contracted with Kyubey back then to expose the truth with her wish, but lingering distrust remains.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui goes alone to track the culprit. The dropped badge leads her to an abandoned company tied to illegal labor her family had helped shut down. After defeating a stray Witch, she is ambushed and kidnapped by a man with a taser.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She wakes handcuffed alongside about ten others. The kidnappers reveal the badge was a trap to lure her. They include a former police officer who had fabricated evidence against her family and associates of the real murderer from that case, all blaming the Blue Seas for ruining their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her Soul Gem is heavily tainted from the Witch fight, and she begins hearing her Doppel&#039;s voice. In a cloudy void, her shadow self insists she should have killed these enemies when she had the chance, arguing her organization cannot survive without dirtying their hands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Meiyui struggles to stay conscious, she uses her last energy to beg the culprits to leave her family alone, insisting they are not a bad group. The stabber dismisses her pleas and suggests killing her as a warning instead. Her Doppel mocks her, saying evil people will always exist no matter how sincerely she tries to live righteously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, her organization members arrive to rescue her. The stabbed victim is among them, now grateful Meiyui had stayed to help him instead of chasing revenge. He admits he used to believe abandoning burdens was the way of the world, but facing death alone showed him he was wrong. He is alive because of Meiyui&#039;s strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hearing this, Meiyui&#039;s mind clears. In the void, her Doppel asks if she is ready to kill them, but Meiyui rejects violence entirely. The Doppel submits, allowing her to put everyone in the area to sleep without bloodshed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The police soon arrive after the kidnapper, persuaded by Meiyui, confesses over the phone. They find several family members asleep everywhere and note a look of complete relief on Meiyui&#039;s sleeping face.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Little Bird&#039;s Star====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe and other Black Feathers are in Fendt Hope, commiserating about their weakness. A White Feather had to bail them out after they were followed by a Witch while delivering a parcel from Mitama&#039;s shop. They discuss Yachiyo Nanami, a veteran Magical Girl who destroys Uwasas.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu and Nemu emerge from a room arguing. Nemu dismisses Mifuyu and approaches the Black Feathers with a request. She asks them to investigate the &amp;quot;Uwasa of the Jealous Coward,&amp;quot; also called the &amp;quot;Green-Eyed Coward.&amp;quot; Kuroe hesitates but agrees when Nemu insists she has the aptitude.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group investigates an area with many students but cannot find the Uwasa. The other Black Feathers leave for personal commitments. Kuroe stays, feeling she has nothing to return to. The Uwasa manifests when Kuroe expresses envy toward the other girls&#039; normal lives. Two Black Feathers are knocked unconscious. Nemu is satisfied with the results and tasks Kuroe with investigating more Uwasas starting tomorrow. Kuroe protests but Nemu leaves before she can refuse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Memoria 1743.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The Amane twins, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo, meet Kuroe at Fendt Hope and they begin investigating Uwasas in Sakae Ward but find nothing. They move to Hokuyo Ward. Kuroe notices a missing cat poster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They sense Yachiyo&#039;s group nearby and flee. Yachiyo and Iroha corner Kuroe. The twins escape. Yachiyo interrogates Kuroe. An Uwasa resembling Kuroe appears and attacks, then disappears. Yachiyo accuses Kuroe of controlling it. Kuroe insists she had no knowledge of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo decides to take Kuroe camping to monitor her. At the campground, the Amane twins briefly contact Kuroe and say they will consult Nemu, so Kuroe resolves to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe helps Iroha gather firewood. Iroha is scared by a caterpillar and Kuroe removes it. Kuroe introduces herself by name. She helps the group set up their tent and prepare lunch, using skills learned from Wings of Magius training. She reminds herself not to get drawn into their warm atmosphere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mentions a waterfall power spot. Kuroe offers to get water. Iroha accompanies her. They get lost. A woman helps Kuroe find the waterfall and gives her an empty bottle. The woman explains the place is her personal power spot for resetting her mind. Kuroe wishes she had strength to face the future. The Uwasa appears and attacks the woman. Iroha arrives and finds the woman unconscious. Kuroe begs Iroha for help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe carries the unconscious woman back to the campsite. The Amane twins inform her that Nemu says she is possessed by the Uwasa and should stay with Yachiyo&#039;s group. Yachiyo warns that if more casualties occur, she will destroy the Uwasa. Iroha suggests keeping Kuroe for observation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group participates in a stamp rally and Iroha and Kuroe pair up. They discover they are both from Takarazaki. Iroha explains she moved to Kamihama to find her missing sister. Suddenly, a Witch appears and Kuroe and Iroha fight it together. Kuroe acts as a decoy while Iroha defeats the Witch. Kuroe feels inadequate compared to Iroha&#039;s courage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe asks for time alone and she reflects on her fears and envy. The Uwasa appears again, resembling Kuroe. The group fights it and Iroha urges Kuroe to destroy the Uwasa. Kuroe admits she is afraid she cannot be herself, so she and Iroha destroy the Uwasa together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amane twins inform Kuroe they must report the Uwasa&#039;s destruction, yet Kuroe does not regret it. Iroha asks to talk with Kuroe and Yachiyo offers them tea. Kuroe admits she feels safe with the Wings of Magius because they represent hope for her. Iroha accepts this and Kuroe tells Iroha she wants to be like her someday. They part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe finds the missing cat and returns it to its owner, who is overjoyed. Kuroe realizes she saved someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe reports to Nemu and Mifuyu. Nemu reveals the Uwasa summons itself based on dissatisfaction and envy. Nemu admits she expected Yachiyo&#039;s group to handle an accident with the Uwasa. However, Nemu is satisfied that she now has more research on fusing Uwasa with Magical Girls, however Mifuyu warns Nemu not to experiment on the Feathers. Kuroe realizes that even the Magius are imperfect and she reflects on her long day. She resolves to do her best, one step at a time, and hopes to see Iroha again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 7th==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia and Sana decide to buy matching coasters as a gift for Yachiyo, to show their appreciation, and after some searching, they find a suitable set.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: Memories That Reveal the Truth]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 8th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the plan to present the gift is interrupted when Mifuyu Azusa arrives at the villa before Yachiyo returns home. The girls&#039; plan was for Iroha to wait inside while the others came from outside to surprise Yachiyo. Mifuyu prepares tea and reveals one of the two mugs on the top shelf, which Yachiyo forbade Iroha from using, belongs to her. Mifuyu invites Iroha to a lecture hosted by the Wings of the Magius to explain their goal of &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls. The lecture is scheduled for two days later at the Memory Museum and Iroha agrees to investigate the Rumor about the museum first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo returns home and is visibly distressed to find Mifuyu there. Mifuyu leaves, asking Iroha to inform the others about the lecture. Before finally leaving, Mifuyu returns to speak to Yachiyo privately. She references a &amp;quot;promise&amp;quot; they made a year ago, and accuses Yachiyo of returning to her old ways. Yachiyo insists her relationship with Iroha and the others is &amp;quot;just cooperating.&amp;quot; Yachiyo retreats to her room without receiving the coasters. That night, Yachiyo reflects on her past, resolving to return to the person she once was.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 9th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the lecture, Iroha is unable to give Yachiyo the coasters due to Yachiyo&#039;s low spirits. Iroha discusses her plan to attend the Wings of the Magius lecture with Madoka Kaname via text. Iroha then attempts to investigate the Rumor of the Memory Museum. Yachiyo claims no knowledge of it and leaves for school. Iroha and Momoko ask Mitama, who refuses to share information to maintain her neutrality. After the visit, Mitama has a separate conversation with Momoko about Momoko&#039;s own secret, advising her to tell her friends the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede and Rena help Iroha by summoning the creature that recites the Rumor of the Memory Museum, which allows people to view researched memories. Tsuruno&#039;s father provides the location of the similar-sounding &amp;quot;Kamihama Memorial Museum.&amp;quot; That evening, Yachiyo refuses to join the investigation, reiterating that her relationship with the others is strictly professional, which saddens Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Saturday, the 10th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the lecture, Yachiyo again refuses to go to the museum and Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana go to the Kamihama Memorial Museum without her. There, they are greeted by Touka Satomi, who reveals herself as one of the three Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently at Mikazuki, Yachiyo, haunted by memories of past friends, decides she must investigate the Memory Museum herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Touka throne 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka Satomi gives them a lecture titled &amp;quot;The Truth Behind Magical Girls.&amp;quot; She presents three key items through illustrative stories:&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 1: Soul Gems. A story reveals that a Soul Gem is a Magical Girl&#039;s actual soul. Using magic consumes this life force, and if the gem shatters, the Magical Girl dies. Touka uses an analogy of an internal vs. external battery to explain Soul Gems and Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 2: Witches. A second story demonstrates that when a Magical Girl&#039;s Soul Gem becomes fully corrupted, she transforms into a Witch. This revelation traumatizes Felicia, who realizes the Witches she has been killing were once Magical Girls and that she herself is destined to become one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 3: Doppels. A third story explains that in Kamihama City, a fully corrupted Soul Gem can manifest a &amp;quot;Doppel&amp;quot; instead of a Witch. The Wings of the Magius present this as the key to &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls from their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* To prove their claims, Touka and Mifuyu Azusa activate the Memory Museum&#039;s Rumor. Mifuyu presents a book containing her own memories, inviting the group to witness the truth of the lecture firsthand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo arrives at the museum and confronts Touka. She is shown into the memory dimension where Iroha and the others are and Mifuyu activates the Rumor, forcing the group to relive her memories. The memories depict Yachiyo&#039;s former team, Mikazuki Villa:&lt;br /&gt;
** The first memory shows Kanae Yukino sacrificing herself to reveal a Witch&#039;s weakness. Her uninjured body is found next to her shattered Soul Gem, proving the Soul Gem is the Magical Girl&#039;s life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second memory shows Mel Anna using too much magic to protect Yachiyo. With no Grief Seed to purify her fully corrupted Soul Gem, Mel transforms into a Witch before the team&#039;s eyes, confirming Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The third memory shows Mifuyu&#039;s despair six months after Mel&#039;s death, causing her Soul Gem to corrupt fully. Instead of becoming a Witch, she manifests a Doppel. Touka then appears and recruits her into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno is consumed by guilt over Mel&#039;s death, believing her absence that day was the cause. Felicia is horrified, realizing the Witches she killed were Magical Girls and Sana is terrified but feels powerless to change the system. Touka and Mifuyu use this emotional vulnerability to press their recruitment offers to each girl, promising a world where these tragedies are impossible and even suggesting Sana could be freed from her wish of invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo reject the offer to join and Yachiyo compares the Magius&#039; methods to Kyubey&#039;s, accusing them of exploiting weaknesses. Yachiyo then announces she is disbanding their team, which Iroha protests, but Yachiyo insists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka reveals that Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana have been brainwashed and now serve the Wings of the Magius. Alina Gray arrives and traps Iroha and Yachiyo within her Labyrinth and leaves them to face a Witch. As they fight the Witch, Yachiyo reiterates her decision to disband the team and work alone. She reveals her wish was &amp;quot;I want to survive,&amp;quot; and explains that she interprets this as a curse: the power to survive by sacrificing her teammates, based on the last words of her former comrades, Kanae and Mel, who both died while she lived. Yachiyo believes that to protect Iroha, she must sever their partnership.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha rejects Yachiyo&#039;s conclusion. She declares she will defeat the Uwasa alone to prove Yachiyo&#039;s &amp;quot;curse&amp;quot; is not real and that she can protect Yachiyo. Iroha states she is angry that Yachiyo made this decision for everyone and vows to rescue their brainwashed friends. She defeats the Witch and rejects Yachiyo&#039;s belief in a cursed wish and declares herself the new leader to nullify its perceived effect. Yachiyo relents and agrees to work with Iroha to save their friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the same time, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, having detected Mami&#039;s magic while investigating Kamihama, investigate the closed Kamihama Recording Museum. They are attacked by the Wings of the Magius. While Madoka and Homura hold them off, Sayaka proceeds and witnesses Mami, transformed into &amp;quot;Holy Mami,&amp;quot; attacking Iroha and Yachiyo. It is here that Sayaka learns the horrific truth that Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: A Stand-Off With Fate]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, now a brainwashed member of the Wings of the Magius, confronts them. As Iroha and Yachiyo are too injured to fight, Sayaka Miki arrives and intervenes. Sayaka uses a bomb from Homura to create a diversion, allowing the three to escape.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After their escape, Sayaka gives Iroha a Grief Seed. Iroha explains the truth about Witches and the Wings of the Magius to Sayaka, who is horrified. Sayaka leaves to process this information and Iroha and Yachiyo walk home in silence to reflect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After fleeing the museum, Sayaka reunites with Madoka and Homura, defeats their pursuers in a distraught state, and explains what happened to Mami to them, as well as the truth about becoming Witches.The group returns to Mitakihara in silence but Madoka resolves to find a way to avoid their fate and to save Mami. Sayaka agrees to fight back as well and later decides to meet with Kyoko Sakura.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, at Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo reaffirm their commitment to save their friends and Momoko arrives, having told the secret of Magical Girls to Rena and Kaede. Yachiyo also apologizes for her actions and explains her fears about her wish. Momoko forgives her and reaffirms their friendship. Iroha then receives a text from Madoka, who promises to come to Kamihama to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Sayaka meets Kyoko and reveals the truth about Witches. Kyoko deduces this is what the Wings of the Magius meant by &amp;quot;saving&amp;quot; Magical Girls. Kyoko declares she will find a way to avoid becoming a Witch and confront the Wings of the Magius alone, rejecting Sayaka&#039;s offer of help. Despite Sayaka&#039;s protests, Kyoko leaves to operate solo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Likely during this time, Yachiyo pulls out a box containing what her former friends Kanae Yukino and Mel Anna left behind. She has never opened it since filling it and spends the entire day staring at it, unable to lift the lid. When Iroha arrives and asks about it, Yachiyo explains and admits she is trying to work through her feelings. Iroha offers to help, but Yachiyo deflects, reminding her they were supposed to visit Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls visit Mitama Yakumo and present Grief Seeds as payment for adjustment. Mitama is surprised by the offering and promises to do her best, but she expresses concern about Yachiyo&#039;s emotional state. She suggests Yachiyo clear up her issues with the box before moving forward and offers to adjust both girls at once as a special exception.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Mitama works on her, Yachiyo finds herself in a gray room confronted by a shadowy doppelganger. The shadow accuses her of being afraid of the future and clinging to the past. When Yachiyo refuses to give in to despair, the shadow transforms into her doppel, but she stands firm, accepting her fear while choosing to move forward. Iroha appears beside her, and together they bid farewell to visions of Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo awakens and realizes Mitama adjusted them together intentionally, trusting Iroha could help her if needed. She thanks Mitama for looking out for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at her house, Yachiyo finally opens the box with Iroha beside her. Inside, Kanae left a book of lyrics about becoming a circle with others, and Mel left fortune telling impressions predicting a future where many magical girls would gather in Kamihama. Yachiyo cries as she reads their words. Iroha suggests they head toward that gentle future together. Yachiyo agrees but says first they need to get back their own three points: Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha resolves to find her lost friends and mentally tells Ui to wait a bit longer. Iroha and Yachiyo finish cleaning their house. Iroha resolves to give the coasters she and the others bought for Yachiyo when everyone is reunited. Iroha says she sent a message to Madoka in Mitakihara City, but hasn&#039;t gotten a response.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 7: Awakening to Paradise]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Immediately after Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana are taken, Mifuyu reports to Touka and Alina that the brainwashing on the three is holding, so Touka selects Tsuruno for a mission, which Alina states will involve &amp;quot;mass murder.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in her room, Iroha thinks back to when she celebrated Christmas with her friends, but resolves to keep going with her mission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sunday, the 11th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo investigate the Kamihama Rumor Files at Mikazuki Villa. Iroha recognizes some of the Rumors. They meet with Momoko, who mentions Tsuruno&#039;s perfect school attendance record is now broken and that a new amusement park is also opening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo visit Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant and her father reveals Tsuruno and Felicia visited once. Tsuruno told him she found a place where she feels safe and would not return and he notes her expression was blank, similar to how she looked a year ago after Mel&#039;s death. Afterwards, a White Feather ambushes Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will be used for a mission like Tsuruno, and the two fight off the attacker.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Monday, the 12th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo devise a plan to destroy Rumors across Kamihama to lure out the Wings of the Magius and locate their base. They share this plan with Momoko, who offers to help by getting Grief Seeds for them while they hunt. Momoko then goes to check on Kaede, who is hiding in her room. She hugs Kaede and tells her she and Rena will always be there to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo systematically hunt Rumors like the &amp;quot;Historical Battle Marker,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Castle Town Illusion,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Headless Biker Gang,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Puzzle Tiles Lock,&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;Fashion Monster.&amp;quot; They also interrogate captured Feathers, but none reveal information about Tsuruno, Felicia, or Sana&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Momoko investigates a rapidly spreading rumor about a new amusement park. She notes it originated in the east and spread west through Sakae, Mizuna, and Shinsei Wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha and Yachiyo analyze the Kamihama Rumor Files, marking all known Rumor locations on a map. They identify a pattern: Rumors cluster more densely in Shinsei Ward, with a notable concentration around Satomi Medical Center, the hospital where Ui was supposedly treated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They travel to the hospital area and are ambushed by Feathers. Felicia and Sana, who had broken free of the brainwashing, arrive and help fight off the attackers. The four Magical Girls reunite and Felicia and Sana reveal they pretended to be brainwashed to gather information. Momoko confirms the amusement park rumor spread from east to west and will open at dawn in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Sana explain to Yachiyo and Iroha that Mifuyu used her illusion magic to break their brainwashing. Mifuyu revealed the Magius are protecting and strengthening Witches for their liberation plan and are planning to use the brainwashed Magical Girls to cross a dangerous line. Mifuyu attempted to free Tsuruno but failed, as Tsuruno&#039;s reason for being brainwashed was different. Mifuyu then helped Felicia and Sana escape but chose to remain behind, stating they would be enemies next time they meet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko arrives and shares her investigation into a new Rumor about an amusement park opening at dawn in two days. She confirms it spread from the east, and the group overlays the Rumor locations on a map and identifies a pattern suggesting a source or &amp;quot;eye of the storm&amp;quot; in the eastern wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kanagi screenshot.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo decides to contact Kanagi Izumi, the powerful Magical Girl who controls the eastern Daito and Kosho Wards and is a former rival of hers. Kanagi agrees to an alliance, and during their call, Tsukasa of the Wings of the Magius arrives at Kanagi&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tuesday, the 13th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The morning, Felicia and Sana try to accompany Iroha and Yachiyo but are told to rest due to their collapse the previous night. Iroha and Yachiyo leave them behind. Meanwhile in Kosho Ward, Iroha, Yachiyo, Momoko, and Kanagi meet and Kanagi agrees to ally with them against the Wings of the Magius. They combine their Rumor data on a map, which reveals a circular pattern with a vacant center in Kosho Ward and Kanagi identifies the old railway yard as the likely location of the Wings&#039; base.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After learning the truth about Witches, Madoka questions Kyubey about a way to avoid becoming a Witch. Kyubey states he knows of no method and reveals he cannot enter Kamihama City himself. He proposes an alliance to investigate the Wings of the Magius but Madoka refuses to promise cooperation. She resolves to return to Kamihama with her friends, but then a Witch from Kamihama appears in Mitakihara.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 7: Eve of the Awakening]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura defeat the Kamihama Witch. They share Grief Seeds and note the alarming appearance of foreign Witches in their city. The trio resolves to go to Kamihama the next day to find answers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Around this time, Kyoko successfully infiltrates the Wings of the Magius. She is assigned to a team tasked with dealing with a group that erases Rumors, which she suspects is Iroha&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s group travels to the railway yard but finds it empty. They are ambushed by Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who summon Witches and during the battle, Kanagi uses her unique power to read Iroha&#039;s true intentions and confirms her sincerity. Kanagi then joins the fight and helps defeat the Amane sisters and their Black Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi uses her power on the defeated Amane sisters to read their minds and she learns that Tsuruno is still completely brainwashed and has become part of an Uwasa to protect it. She also learns Tsuruno&#039;s location is at the Ferris Wheel Field in Daito Ward and the group prepares to move out immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Sana and Felicia wait anxiously and Yachiyo calls them with an update.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Rena visits Kaede at her house, and after an argument involving slapping and pinching, Kaede reconciles with Rena and agrees to return to school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team arrives in Daito Ward, where Yachiyo and Iroha plan to enter the &amp;quot;amusement park&amp;quot; Rumor to save Tsuruno, while Felicia, Sana, Momoko, and Kanagi hold off the Wings of the Magius. The group locates the Rumor&#039;s entrance and Kanagi and Momoko stay behind to fight the Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo proceed and confront Alina, Touka, and Mifuyu, where Alina declares her intent to erase them. During the battle, Mifuyu secretly tells Yachiyo that destroying the main Uwasa will kill Tsuruno, and that they must instead tear the Uwasa from her by connecting with her heart. Mifuyu also reveals Tsuruno is in a Ferris wheel car.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101705 uwasatsuruno.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo enter the Rumor, &amp;quot;Chelation Land,&amp;quot; which induces a hazy, thoughtless state. They find Tsuruno, who has fully merged with the Uwasa and acts as the park&#039;s host. Tsuruno tries to force them to relax and stay, serving them hotpot in mugs reminiscent of Mikazuki Villa, but they refuse and attempt to reason with Tsuruno, and she attacks them. Following Mifuyu&#039;s advice, they combine their magic to tear the Uwasa from Tsuruno in one powerful strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nemu02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After Tsuruno is freed from the Uwasa, Yachiyo realizes that Tsuruno&#039;s cheerful demeanor was a facade to hide her pain and guilt over past events, including the death of Mel. The team defeats the main Uwasa of Chelation Land and the Magius, Touka, Nemu Hiiragi, and Alina, confront the group. Nemu reveals she is the &amp;quot;Creator&amp;quot; of all the Rumors in Kamihama and the Magius explain their goal: to use the energy generated by Rumors and Witches to hatch &amp;quot;Embryo Eve,&amp;quot; a being that will liberate all Magical Girls worldwide from the fate of becoming Witches. They state the phenomenon requires the presence of all three Magius and a massive energy source, for which they have used the people of Kamihama and the teams part ways in opposition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 14th==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101701 coaster02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, at Mikazuki Villa, the team summarizes the Magius&#039; plan and that Kamihama is an incubator for Embryo Eve. They resolve to stop the Magius due to the plan&#039;s high human cost and the group gives Yachiyo the set of sakura blossom-themed coasters as a symbol of their team unity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka are separately attacked by multiple Kamihama Witches in Mitakihara before reuniting. They realize the Witch incursion is a coordinated attack meant to prevent them from leaving Mitakihara. Their magic and Grief Seed reserves are heavily depleted in the constant battles.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the ongoing Witch attacks, the trio is overwhelmed by a powerful Witch and is forced to retreat. Sayaka breaks down, admitting her terror of becoming a Witch and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka share their fears and resolve to face the threat together. They are observed by Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, who imply the attack is part of their plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Fendt Hope, Kyoko, having gained the trust of her unit, is taken on a tour of the Wings of the Magius headquarters by her White Feather superior.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, the three defeat the Feathers sent to observe them, and after interrogating them, they receive a message from Iroha about how to save Mami. Holy Mami arrives to Mitakihara and reveals she brought the Witches to Mitakihara to keep the three of them &amp;quot;safe,&amp;quot; and insists the Magius will save them. Alina Gray also appears and traps Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka in a Barrier, which Mami seals with her ribbons.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her infiltration, Kyoko is taken to Hotel Fenthope by Mifuyu Azusa. She confronts Holy Mami, accusing her of not being the real Mami Tomoe. Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi arrive and reinforce the Rumor brainwashing on Mami. Mifuyu secretly escorts Kyoko away and reveals the Magius&#039; plans: they are using a mysterious entity called &amp;quot;Eve&amp;quot; to liberate Magical Girls and are deliberately bringing Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama to hatch it. Horrified, Kyoko rejects the Magius and is led out of the city by Mifuyu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Once More From Here]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko arrives in Mitakihara and frees Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka from Alina&#039;s Barrier. She explains the Magius&#039; plan to bring Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama and Homura urges the group to stay in Mitakihara for safety. Kyoko departs alone, later resolving to return and crush the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Iroha has a sudden memory flashback to the hospital, triggered by the word &amp;quot;sakura.&amp;quot; She remembers a story she, Ui, Touka, and Nemu created about the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot; She deduces this Rumor is real and located at the hospital, and that all the Rumors were created there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Touka and Nemu observe that Embryo Eve has reached a critical state and they confirm that a legendary, cross-dimensional event they foresaw: the arrival of Walpurgisnacht, will provide the final, massive energy surge needed to hatch Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo calls a meeting with the Mikazuki Villa household, Tsuruno, and the Momoko trio to share her concern that rumors persist even after they defeat the Uwasa themselves. The group splits up to investigate whether the original Uwasa have truly vanished or transformed into something new.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Hereafter]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko, Kaede, and Rena investigate the Breakup Staircase and find only scattered internet gossip remains. During their search, lingering tensions surface over Rena&#039;s painful memories of when Kaede was kidnapped by that Uwasa, but the trio ultimately reconciles and continues working together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno visit Mizuna Shrine, where the Séance Shrine Uwasa has transformed into a popular spot for relationship prayers with new mascots. They encounter a grieving girl who comes daily to pray for her deceased friend, and Yachiyo is reminded of her own departed companions Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Felicia track down the man behind the revived Misery Water rumor, who confesses he was scammed into buying the water and cannot bring himself to deceive others. Felicia helps him find honest work, and the rumors die out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana investigates an online forum where troubled users make veiled threats, but the rumor fades without incident. Tsuruno and Iroha check Chelation Land, where Tsuruno reflects on her past brainwashing and muses about whether some Uwasa exist independently of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The groups reconvene and report that all investigated rumors have left minimal traces. Yachiyo concludes their investigation of the Uwasa is complete, and only the Wings of Magius themselves remain to be confronted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voices from Beyond, Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the afterlife, Mel Anna meets Kanae Yukino, another Magical Girl ghost who also died fighting a Witch. Mel is thrilled to discover they were both on a team with Yachiyo Nanami and calls Kanae her senpai. Kanae takes Mel to a ghost cafe where deceased Magical Girls gather, explaining they cannot interact with the living world except through psychics.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Voices From Beyond]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they wander Kamihama, Mel notices Witch numbers rising dramatically and worries about Yachiyo. They follow Yachiyo and are relieved to find she has new companions in Iroha Tamaki and others, though they remain concerned about their former teammate Mifuyu&#039;s absence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, they watch helplessly as Yachiyo battles the Wings of Magius and eventually enters the Memory Museum, where she relives the trauma of losing Mel and Kanae. When Yachiyo dissolves her team afterward, convinced her magic causes others to die for her, the ghosts desperately try to reach her. Kanae notices Yachiyo kept their mementos: Mel&#039;s fortune log and Kanae&#039;s notebook. They focus their thoughts on these items, and that night, Yachiyo discovers their messages—Kanae&#039;s lyrics about forming a circle and Mel&#039;s fortune predicting the current events. Grateful, she resolves to move forward. Their successful contact gets their ghost licenses suspended, and they watch Yachiyo&#039;s dream of their encounter before fading.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 15th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius initiate a city-wide offensive, unleashing powerful Witches and sending brainwashed Black and White Feathers to indiscriminately attack other Magical Girls. Mami delivers a declaration of war to Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will no longer delay their plan for &amp;quot;freedom.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Kamihama, Painted in Fiction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magical Girls of Kamihama form a coordinated response and Yachiyo&#039;s team devises a strategy: first, eliminate the unleashed Witches; second, protect other Magical Girls and direct them to Mitama&#039;s shop as a safe haven; third, deal with the rampaging Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, recalling the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; in Hokuyo Ward, theorizes it could be the location of the Magius&#039; hidden base. Yachiyo approves Iroha and Sana to investigate this lead separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next several hours, the teams execute the plan. Yachiyo rescues Ren from a Black Feather and escorts her to Mitama&#039;s shop. Kaede Afinds Konomi protecting an injured Kako; together they defeat a Witch and get Kako to safety. Rena aids Asuka and Sasara, later teaming with Ria and Manaka to defeat a Witch. Momoko and Aimi rescue Kokoro and Masara from Feathers. Tsuruno works with Hinano to eliminate a Witch and warns her about the Feathers. Felicia fights alongside Akira and Nanaka&#039;s group, eventually reuniting with Tsuruno. Kanagi protects Himika from Feathers and sends her to Mitama&#039;s. Yachiyo and Kanagi also rescue Riko and Ayaka from Feather attacks and track the enemy to a heliport. Yachiyo, Kanagi, Momoko&#039;s team, and Tsuruno&#039;s team successfully clear the city of the powerful Witches and they rescue and guide numerous Magical Girls to Mitama&#039;s shop. Momoko confronts Mitama, challenging her to abandon her neutral stance and Mitama agrees to allow her shop to be used as a headquarters and to share her knowledge about the Magius&#039; plans.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama reveals the truth that Magical Girls are destined to become Witches, and that the Magius aim to use the energy from Embryo Eve to spread the Doppel phenomenon worldwide, preventing this fate. However, their methods involve sacrificing the citizens of Kamihama and other Magical Girls to gather this energy, so the Magical Girls at the shelter decide to join the fight against the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, in Chuo Ward, Yachiyo and Kanagi are ambushed by Mami and a horde of brainwashed Feathers at the Kamihama Central Tower heliport. The battle is difficult due to the Feathers&#039; numbers and Mami&#039;s enhanced power from the Uwasa. Kanagi reads Mami&#039;s mind and finds her personality has been completely overwritten by the Uwasa&#039;s influence, leaving only her devotion to the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia then arrive as reinforcements and during the fight, a Black Feather loses her &amp;quot;Receiver Pendant.&amp;quot; Kanagi reads this Feather&#039;s mind, uncovering that the Feathers&#039; berserk state is caused by the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Receiver Pendant,&amp;quot; which numbs their emotions and forces them to obey the Magius&#039; orders. The memory also reveals the three Magius orchestrating the attack to harvest emotional energy from the chaos, believing it will bring their utopia closer. The Feather who lost her pendant then begins to regain her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team battles the brainwashed Mami and the Wings of the Magius. With the help of Momoko&#039;s team and Kanagi&#039;s ability to read the enemy&#039;s weakness, they remove the Uwasa from Mami, freeing her from its control. Mami collapses from exhaustion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Homura pleads with Madoka and Sayaka not to go to Kamihama, fearing for their lives against Walpurgisnacht. After initial hesitation, Madoka and Sayaka resolve to go and Homura agrees to accompany them. The trio leaves for Kamihama but cannot contact Iroha Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Upon arriving in Kamihama, the three are attacked by brainwashed Black Feathers in Sakae Ward, but the Feathers suddenly regain their senses and flee. The trio pursues them into Central Ward and meets Kanoko Yayoi, Karin Misono, and Natsuki Utsuho. They learn that other Magical Girls are gathering at Mitama Yakumo&#039;s office and Karin reveals she saw Nanaka Tokiwa carrying an unconscious Mami there. The group goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds Mami, who has been freed from the Magius&#039; control and awakens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius then execute their plan: they cause a city-wide blackout and seize control of Kamihama&#039;s radio waves and power grid. They use Nemu&#039;s power to project a false utopia over the city, attracting Witches, and Touka&#039;s power to send a signal that summons the legendary Witch, Walpurgisnacht. Their goal is to use the chaos and emotional energy to hatch &amp;quot;Eve.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana infiltrate the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; Labyrinth, initially having their presence hidden due to Sana&#039;s unique magic. There, Iroha confronts Touka and Nemu, using the Uwasa itself as proof that her memories of their shared past with Ui are real. Despite this, Touka and Nemu don&#039;t believe her and refuse to halt their plans. Alina arrives, captures Iroha, and takes her to their main base, Hotel Fendt Hope. Afterwards, Sana escapes and informs Yachiyo&#039;s arriving team of Iroha&#039;s capture.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Mitama reveals she previously supplied the Wings with Grief Seeds in exchange for neutrality but has now chosen to side with Yachiyo&#039;s team against them. Mami herself awakens, now having reconciled with her inner turmoil. Now, Yachiyo&#039;s team, reinforced by Momoko&#039;s team and Mami, prepares to assault Hotel Fendt Hope to rescue Iroha and stop the Magius before Walpurgisnacht arrives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, freed from the Uwasa&#039;s influence, resolves to expose the Magius&#039; true plans to the Feathers and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka decide to support her instead of joining Iroha&#039;s group. Nanaka and her team escort them to the heliport and during the journey, Mami explains to Nanaka that the Feathers&#039; loyalty was placed not in the Magius themselves, but in Mifuyu Azusa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the heliport, Mami arrives where the exhausted Feathers and Kamihama Magical Girls are at a stalemate. She reveals the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice hundreds of civilians, including the Feathers&#039; own friends and family, to Walpurgisnacht. She also details their previous use of the Chelation Land Rumor for a similar purpose and the Feathers are shocked and dismayed. Some even accuse Mami of hypocrisy, which she does not deny.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Feathers split into two factions: one that still desires liberation at any cost and another that vows to protect Kamihama. A fight breaks out between them and Madoka and the others defend Mami, declaring their unwavering friendship. Moved, Mami asks the Feathers if they have anyone they trust unconditionally, as she now does, and the Feathers state they trust Mifuyu and demand to hear the truth from her directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami entrusts the Feathers to Nanaka&#039;s team, while she, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka then proceed to Hotel Fendthope to aid Iroha. On the way, Mami thanks her friends and asks them to rely on her as an equal ally and friend, not as a veteran. They arrive at the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Mitama is guarding the entrance. She confirms she is aware of Mami&#039;s past struggles and allows the group to pass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 16th==&lt;br /&gt;
* At Hotel Fendt Hope, Sana infiltrates the hotel to find Iroha and she overhears Feathers discussing Iroha&#039;s location and heads there. Iroha is held in a cell and, with her Soul Gem confiscated, she reflects on her memories of Ui, Touka, and Nemu and resolves to stop the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their plans and Alina demands Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem and body be brought to her. A weather report at the same time indicates the approach of Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana locates Iroha&#039;s cell, and she breaks Iroha out, but the act of breaking the cell door triggers an Uwasa, as the entire building is part of a Rumor. Sana defeats the Uwasa and as they flee, they are ambushed by Black Feathers. Kyoko Sakura, who was undergoing an orientation with the Feathers but decided against joining them, intervenes and helps defeat the attackers as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha explains the Magius&#039; goal is to summon Walpurgisnacht, and Kyoko reveals the Magius also plan to use Iroha, Mifuyu, and the Amane sisters as nourishment for &amp;quot;Eve,&amp;quot; the core of the system. Suddenly, Iroha collapses and stops breathing due to the distance from her Soul Gem. A Black Feather who pretended to be unconscious seizes Iroha&#039;s body and escapes with it, and Sana and Kyoko give chase.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team enters the Hotel Fendt Hope through the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth and they split into two teams: Yachiyo&#039;s group heads to the top floor to rescue Mifuyu and the Amane sisters, while Momoko&#039;s group searches for Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team finds Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa unconscious, their bodies separated from their Soul Gems. They quickly recover the Soul Gems, reviving the three, and Mifuyu confirms the Magius summoned Walpurgisnacht to provide energy to hatch Eve. Mifuyu and the Amane sisters renounce the Magius and join Yachiyo&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Iroha is transported by a Black Feather who reveals her motivation: her younger sister turned into a Witch, and she supports the Magius to prevent others from suffering the same fate. Momoko&#039;s team intercepts them and rescues Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko and Sana fight their way through the hotel and reunite with the main group. Momoko&#039;s team recovers a bag containing Iroha&#039;s, Mifuyu&#039;s, and the Amane sisters&#039; Soul Gems. A group of Feathers from the East confronts them but is persuaded by Kanagi to stand down, and they retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the teams reunited, the full coalition of Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, Kanagi, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Kyoko regroups. They possess all the stolen Soul Gems and are united in their goal to stop the Magius and confront Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team&#039;s path to the underground chapel is blocked and Mifuyu determines the magical building, a Rumor crafted by Nemu Hiiragi, has been reconfigured. Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa attempt to break the blockade, but a powerful magical wind erupts, separating the group. Mifuyu, the Amane sisters, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, and Kyoko are blown outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, Sana, Felicia, Tsuruno, and Kanagi remain inside and they defeat an Uwasa that attacks them. Mifuyu communicates from outside that they are locked out, and she devises a new plan: her group will gather other Kamihama Magical Girls to attack and destroy the Uwasa of Hotel Fendt Hope itself, which will collapse the building. She instructs Yachiyo&#039;s group to hurry to the underground chapel for safety before the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu&#039;s group fights off Witches released by Alina Gray as a defense measure. Mami, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka also arrive and assist them. After the battle, Mami convinces Mifuyu to address all the Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, and using the Amane sisters&#039; sound magic, Mifuyu broadcasts a telepathic message across Kamihama, revealing the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice civilians and summon Walpurgisnacht. She urges the Feathers to lay down their arms and prepare to fight the legendary Witch. Many Feathers also heed her call and defect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami then uses her magic to create a small opening in the building&#039;s barrier and enters Hotel Fendt Hope alone to rejoin Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kyoko is noted to be absent. Yachiyo&#039;s team searches for the entrance to the underground chapel and Mami reveals she concealed the entrance with her magic. She severs the ribbon hiding the path, officially breaking her ties with the Wings of the Magius and Mami then leaves to assist with the attack on the Uwasa of Fendt Hope outside. Kyoko meets Mami along the way and gives her a Grief Seed before they both exit the building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team then encounters false copies of Touka, Nemu, and Alina from the Mirror Witch&#039;s barrier; they realize the fakes speak differently and defeat them before continuing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, Mifuyu&#039;s group, now joined by Mami, Kyoko, and the Feathers who defected, attacks the Uwasa of Fendt Hope. Despite a coordinated assault, the Uwasa proves extremely resilient and withstands their combined power. The battle continues as the city-wide weather disaster escalates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team proceeds down a long staircase into a deep, dark underground area filled with strong magical impurities. Along the way, they are confronted by Mirror copies of themselves that voice their deepest insecurities, but each member overcomes their own doubts by relying on their friends. In the underground chapel, they find Alina, Nemu, and Touka waiting for them. At the back of the chapel, they see the massive, unhatched form of the Witch known as Embryo Eve. They reveal the full scope of their plan. They explain that Kyubey&#039;s true mission is to harvest the emotional energy of Magical Girls to counteract the universe&#039;s heat death. The cycle of hope and despair, culminating in a Magical Girl&#039;s transformation into a Witch, produces the necessary energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius intend to usurp this system. They plan to use the phase transition energy from Eve&#039;s transformation into a full Witch to create a permanent forcefield over Kamihama. This field would allow Magical Girls to release their impurities as Doppels instead of becoming Witches, and the energy would be fed back to the universe, making Kyubey and new Magical Girl contracts obsolete. The imminent arrival of Walpurgisnacht is a key part of their plan, as its destruction by Eve will provide the massive energy required.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Despite understanding the plan, Iroha and her team refuse to accept the Magius&#039; methods or their control over the future. The Magius argue that without their plan, Walpurgisnacht will destroy the city regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 2.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, the battle against the Uwasa of Fendt Hope continues. Realizing they are losing, Mifuyu uses a dangerous self-illusion to unleash all her magic at once in a final attack. She destroys the Uwasa but becomes incapacitated in the process as her Soul Gem starts breaking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the chapel, the destruction of the Uwasa causes Fendt Hope&#039;s Labyrinth to collapse, and the chapel is exposed to the outside as the building disappears. After the collapse of Hotel Fendt Hope, the teams reunite in the forest as the Labyrinth vanishes. Yachiyo learns that Mifuyu was severely injured destroying the Uwasa and was taken to Mitama for treatment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius appear with Embryo Eve, now freed from the chapel, and they prepare to fully release Eve so it can devour the approaching Walpurgisnacht. A battle ensues as the teams try to stop them and Iroha and Sana break through the defensive line of Familiars to attack Eve directly. Iroha&#039;s attack on Eve fails and Eve captures Iroha but does not harm her. A bright light emanates from Iroha, allowing Sana to rescue her. Sana reveals she possesses a branch from the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, which was not in bloom when she received it. The branch suddenly blossoms after Iroha touches Eve and Iroha realizes that Embryo Eve is her missing sister, Ui Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana confront Embryo Eve on Takayama Mountain and Iroha believes Eve is her sister, Ui Tamaki, but Eve breaks free from the mountain and begins to move toward Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama City, Walpurgisnacht approaches from the sea, accompanied by a massive horde of Familiars that begin to swarm the city. Magical Girl teams led by Hinano Miyako and Nanaka Tokiwa engage the Familiars along the coast to prevent widespread destruction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the ruins of Hotel Fendt Hope, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo bring the injured Mifuyu to Mitama Yakumo for emergency aid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Takayama Mountain, Iroha pleads with the combined Magical Girl forces not to kill Eve, revealing her belief that it is Ui. The Magius leaders and Alina retreat. Eve leaps into the sky, heading for Sankyo Ward in Kamihama. Yachiyo Nanami&#039;s team prepares to pursue Eve, while Madoka Kaname&#039;s group from Mitakihara heads to the coast to help defend against Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Magius headquarters, Touka and Nemu dismiss Iroha&#039;s claims about Ui, despite Nemu&#039;s private suspicions. Alina expresses interest in Iroha&#039;s memories but remains focused on Eve&#039;s hatching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Eve&#039;s arrival in Sankyo Ward, Mitama informs Iroha and the team that Ui&#039;s true body and Soul Gem are contained within Embryo Eve, which is a &amp;quot;Half-Witch.&amp;quot; To save Ui, they must defeat Eve&#039;s manifested form without destroying the Soul Gem and Mitama identifies a large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest as the core that maintains its form and its weak point. Mitama also treats the comatose Mifuyu, whose Soul Gem is critically cracked from overuse. Mitama stabilizes it but cannot fully heal her, and Tsukuyo and Tsukasa decide to rejoin the fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Eve rampages through Sankyo Ward, the combined Magical Girl teams attack Eve but find their assaults completely ineffective. Mitama, the Amane sisters, and other groups like Hinano Miyako&#039;s team regroup and they decide to consolidate their forces: one group will focus on defeating Eve, while the other prepares for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s landfall.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia readies her hammer and strikes Eve on the head with a magic‑powered blow, using her memory‑obliterating ability to confuse Eve and halt its advance; in the aftermath of the strike, a strange glow is visible near Eve&#039;s belly. Meanwhile, the Amane sisters relay the critical intelligence about Eve&#039;s red jewel weak point to Yachiyo&#039;s team. Eve begins to move toward Chuo Ward, and Sana proposes a plan to immobilize Eve so the team can target its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, the combined forces of Yachiyo&#039;s team, the Amane sisters, and other White Feathers execute a plan to immobilize Embryo Eve. They use chains from Sana&#039;s shield, spears, and plants to bind Eve to a large building and Iroha successfully strikes the large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest, its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eve retaliates by absorbing a massive vortex of impurities its Familiars had collected, causing its body to mutate and merge with the jewel. Iroha then sees a vision of Ui trapped within the core, reaffirming her resolve to save her, but the Magius arrive to protect Eve and ensure it consumes Walpurgisnacht. Iroha declares her intent to enter the gem to save Ui directly, and despite being severely injured, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia hold off the Magius, creating an opening for Iroha to advance toward Eve&#039;s core.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:10-19.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha reaches Ui&#039;s body but cannot shatter the gem surrounding it completely. Touka arrives at her side, and questions her motives. Iroha declares Ui is her sister and a precious friend to Touka and Nemu, and as Iroha reaches for Ui, the Embryo Eve attacks and Lil&#039; Kyubey intervenes and blocks the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu experience a flood of memories, recalling the original events. She remembers seeing Iroha with Kyubey in a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, learning about Magical Girls, and devising a plan with Ui and Nemu to usurp Kyubey&#039;s powers to create an automatic purification system and save all Magical Girls. Their plan failed when Ui&#039;s &amp;quot;harvest&amp;quot; ability went haywire upon her transformation, forcing Nemu to sever Ui&#039;s soul from her body and store it within the de-powered, small Kyubey to prevent her from becoming a Witch. This act erased Ui from the world&#039;s memory, as well as any traces of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Regaining their memories, Touka uses her stored energy to destabilize the Embryo Eve and Nemu uses her stories to restrain it. Iroha shatters Eve&#039;s central gem, and the small Kyubey releases Ui&#039;s soul. Ui awakens and reassures Touka and Nemu that she does not blame them for their shared decision. The Embryo Eve, now soulless, begins to decay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined Magical Girl forces, including Mami, Kyoko, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura, continue their battle against Walpurgisnacht in Chuo Ward. Despite their numbers, the Witch proves immensely powerful and resilient.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102304 mikage desire.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, a massive explosion of light and energy erupts from the location of the decaying Embryo Eve. The Eve has transformed into a new, stable form, and Touka deduces that Alina, who had previously shrunk the anti-Kyubey forcefield to contain the city&#039;s energy, has now wrapped that forcefield tightly around Eve. This action stabilized Eve&#039;s energy and prevented its decay, allowing Alina to control it as a tool for her art. Alina appears, now fused with an Uwasa in a manner similar to [[Holy Mami]], and declares her intent to use Eve to create her ultimate masterpiece, disregarding the goal of Magical Girl liberation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, as this is taking place, [[Mikage Yakumo]], Mitama&#039;s younger sister, is approached by Kyubey when the Barrier disappears. After he explains Mitama&#039;s wish to her, Mikage makes a wish of her own to undo the effects of Mitama&#039;s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Chapter 2: Smiles and Fireworks]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Holy Alina]] asserts that humanity subconsciously desires destruction and that she will use the Embryo Eve to fulfill this wish as her ultimate artwork. Kanagi confronts her own past desire to destroy the city due to its history of conflict but ultimately rejects Alina&#039;s path as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 nemu uwasa.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu, as the creator of Alina&#039;s Uwasa, takes responsibility. She uses the last of her life force to summon every Uwasa recorded in her book to attack Alina directly. The attack defeats Alina, making her disappear, but Nemu collapses, severely weakened and unable to move her legs, so White Feathers evacuate her to safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 eve user1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Embryo Eve, now uncontrolled, begins to rampage and targets Ui, attempting to reabsorb her. Lil&#039; Kyubey implies a solution: it will take Ui&#039;s place within Eve. Touka realizes that the small Kyubey, which contains Ui&#039;s former soul and Kyubey&#039;s original functions, possesses similar attributes to Eve. It is also incapable of becoming a Witch. Lil&#039; Kyubey merges with the Embryo Eve, causing it to release all orbs of light from its body, lading in different parts of Kamihama. The small Kyubey thus becomes the core of the &amp;quot;Automatic Purification System&amp;quot; that Touka, Ui, and Nemu originally envisioned, preventing Magical Girls from becoming Witches within Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival, the combined forces of Magical Girls, including the various teams from Kamihama and the team from Mitakihara, are on the verge of defeat. Homura and the others exhaust their weapons and energy in a desperate attempt to defeat it. They are exhausted, out of Grief Seeds, many are incapacitated, and despite their injuries and depleted resources, the girls refuse to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Last Magia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Walpurgisnacht prepares a massive attack that seems certain to annihilate them, an unknown, benevolent force envelops the Magical Girls. Iroha hears a mysterious voice and sees white feathers raining down, an experience shared by everyone on the battlefield. They all experience a sudden surge of energy and a feeling of being urged forward. This voice is from the Law of Cycles, who had been watching the timeline but not interfering with it. The feathers rejuvenate the group, lifting their spirits and empowering them to continue fighting; their strength is restored, and even the injured find themselves able to fight again. With morale returned, they rally together for one final, united assault, redirecting Walpurgisnacht to Kaihin Park using a coordinated strategy with their unique magical abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined forces of Magical Girls coordinate their unique magics to combat Walpurgisnacht: &lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Natsuki Utsuho initiate the counterattack by using their Encouragement and Cheering magic to boost the morale and power of all allies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seizing this surge of energy, the team implements a complex strategy to control the battlefield. First, Felicia, Meiyui Chun, and Rika Ayano use their Memory Erasure, Persuasion, and Mind-Altering magic to disorient Walpurgisnacht and force it to change course toward the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** To precisely guide the Witch to the intended battleground, Tsuruno, Riko Chiaki, and Emiri Kisaki then use their Good Luck, Luring, and Charm magic, successfully leading Walpurgisnacht to the beachfront park while evading its attacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Once there, the focus shifts to immobilizing the colossal foe. Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Asuka Tatsuki use their Flute Blossom Resonance and Action Control magic in an attempt to halt Walpurgisnacht&#039;s movement entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When it retaliates, Himika Mao diverts its attacks, creating an opening for Kanagi Izumi, who, with a power boost from Mitama&#039;s Coordination, attacks it directly to stun it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** This creates the crucial opening for a full restraint, and Mami, Kanoko Yayoi, and Kaede use Ribbon Binding, Stitching, and Plant magic to ensnare the Witch, which Rena amplified by using her Transformation magic to transform into Kaede and double the restraining power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Walpurgisnacht finally immobilized, Nanaka organizes their forces while Hazuki Yusa and Akira Shinobu identify its weak point with their magic, a gear connected to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire group then launch a coordinated, all-out assault, with offensive magics like Hinano Miyako&#039;s Chemical Explosions leading the charge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout the final attack, Kokoro Awane, Ayame Mikuri, and Konoha Shizumi provide vital defense with their Wall Creation, Safeguarding, and Fog Generation magic, protecting the assault team and ensuring their united strike could land.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Realizing their combined assault was not enough to deliver a final blow, the Magical Girls regroup and to ensure they could act as one perfect unit, Reira Ibuki uses her Purifying Flame to heal their wounds and replenish their energy, while Mito Aino uses her Heart-Linking magic to synchronize their hearts and minds, allowing their resolve to become perfectly aligned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With their spirits united, they form a new strategy and Konomi Haruna uses her magic to force their Fighting Spirit to Bloom, amplifying their collective potential, while Kako Natsume uses her Event Reproduction magic to reinforce the gathered energy, and Ren Isuzu enacts her Nirvana magic to ensure the attack would bring permanent rest to the Witch if successful.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The plan to create a final weapon then commences. Ui uses her Harvest magic to gather the hope and magical energy from every single Magical Girl on the battlefield. She passes this immense energy to Touka, who used her Conversion magic to condense it all into a single, concentrated mass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* This mass of collective hope is then entrusted to Yachiyo, whose unique magic of Inheritance allows her to embody and control the power. She and Iroha shape this energy into a gigantic, radiant arrow aimed at the weak point that had been identified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they prepared to fire, Walpurgisnacht launches an attack to free itself from their binds. In that moment, Homura activates her Time-Stop, and touches Iroha, allowing her to move within the suspended time and take aim unimpeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the path clear, Iroha releases the arrow and strikes the central gear with overwhelming force. As time resumed, the arrow consumed Walpurgisnacht in a brilliant explosion, finally ending the calamity and clearing the sky over Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102005 magicalgirl3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura reflects that she has finally surpassed this battle after countless timelines, and Madoka expresses relief that no more people will suffer from Walpurgisnacht. The girls in Kamihama also celebrate their hard-earned victory, despite the fact that many are injured and exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Epilogue==&lt;br /&gt;
* Some days after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, Iroha and Ui see their parents off at the airport as they leave for their overseas assignment. Iroha and Ui then return to Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama City, where Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana welcome them back. Mifuyu is also present, as Iroha was able to use her magic to repair Mifuyu&#039;s damaged Soul Gem, allowing her to recover. Later that day, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Kanagi, and Mitama visit Mikazuki Villa as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, [[Ultimate Madoka]], a being who identifies as a record-keeper of all universes reflects on the new timeline centered on Kamihama. She states she intervened one last time by sending a &amp;quot;rain of feathers&amp;quot; to empower the Magical Girls but will now only observe, fearing further direct interference could damage this fragile new reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu organize a meeting for all Magical Girls involved in the recent conflict to discuss the actions of the Wings of the Magius and the future fate of all Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu visit the Eternal Sakura. The Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura congratulates them on finally being together as friends and Nemu, who now uses a wheelchair, accepts her condition as a consequence of her past actions. Iroha briefly wonders about the whereabouts of the small Kyubey that once accompanied her, and then meet Lil&#039; Kyubey in the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After some days, Homura reflects on their victory. Despite saving Madoka and defeating Walpurgisnacht, she feels uncertain. The fundamental curse of Magical Girls becoming Witches remains, and she questions if this timeline is truly the best outcome. At school, Mami informs the group about recent disappearances and people getting lost, which they attribute to a new Witch. They devise a plan to track it by mapping the incidents. Kyoko arrives from Kazamino, also hunting the same Witch, and a tense alliance forms.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: The Place We Finally Reached]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group splits into teams to search the area Mami identified. Madoka notices Homura&#039;s preoccupation and reassures her. The teams locate the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and coordinate their attack. During the battle, Homura fears for her friends&#039; safety, but they work together effectively. Kyoko and Sayaka create an opening for Mami and Madoka to deliver the final blow, while Homura evacuates the Witch-Kissed civilians.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Kyoko gives the Grief Seed to Mami and Sayaka declares she has no regrets about becoming a Magical Girl, valuing the power to protect and the friends she has made. This prompts Mami to reconcile with Kyoko, asking to be true friends who help each other when needed again, to which Kyoko agrees. Madoka then states she is also glad she became a Magical Girl, expressing faith in the future because of her friends. This resolve causes Homura to weep with joy, finally believing this timeline, where they face their fate together, could be the one she sought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group, including Kyoko, shares a meal at a pancake restaurant. They discuss an upcoming meeting in Kamihama to address the Magius&#039; actions. While Kyoko opts not to attend, the others plan to update her later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 04 00 0042 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One Saturday, Mami volunteers to help clean the damage done by the Magius incident and Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura go along as well. During it, a Witch attacks and a Magical Girl they were helping unleashes a Doppel. They defeat the Witch and the girl falls unconscious, so Mami takes her to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After stabilizing her, Mami asks Mitama to help her face her own Doppel and she guides Mami to look within. Mami meets her Doppel and it tries to convince her to forget the past, yet Mami refuses and proclaims that she accepts the Doppel as part of herself. Mami then wakes up, thanking everyone and says they will build the future together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cherry Blossom Dreams===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, the Eternal Sakura completed her duties as an Uwasa when her tree came into full bloom. Her Rumor was rewritten and she was connected to Touka&#039;s server, reborn as an Uwasa with ample knowledge who would later be named Sakurako. Around this time, Yachiyo received a message asking what should be done about the six ringleaders of the Magius—Touka Satomi, Nemu Hiiragi, Mifuyu Azusa, Mitama Yakumo, Tsukuyo Amane, and Tsukasa Amane. Nemu proposed rewriting the Eternal Sakura to serve as an impartial judge. They designed three trials: the first to analyze crimes and calculate a verdict, the second to survey all Magical Girls, and the third to reach a final decision based on responses. Punishments ranged from monitoring to destruction of the Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the first trial, Sakurako sentenced Touka and Nemu to the maximum penalty. Mifuyu received power revocation, reduced from maximum due to testimony that she helped destroy Fendt Hope. Mitama received conditional power revocation, allowed to transform only for Coordinator work. The Amane sisters received power restriction. After the trial, Touka and Nemu remained calm, thanking everyone. Yachiyo noted they had intentionally omitted their ages from consideration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Nemu and Sakurako wait at a train station with others. Nearby girls whisper about Nemu, recognizing her as one of the Magius and questioning why she faces no punishment. Ui argues with Iroha about using the Stardust Time Viewer, while Touka pushes through the crowd, disheveled from navigating the train alone. The three girls reunite, each feeling it is a dream. Touka sends Ui a photo of the map they created together in the hospital. The group travels to the mall, where Ui finally visits the croquette shop she always wanted to try, and they share plates to taste each other&#039;s orders. From there, they take a rickshaw to Mizuna Shrine, where they briefly encounter Tsukuyo and Tsukasa, who quickly hurry away. The group buys prayer plaques, though most hesitate at the cost until a shrine attendant suggests writing prayers on the back of their fortunes instead. Iroha wishes for all Magical Girls to get along, while Touka and Nemu write their own wishes. They argue over where to go next—Touka wants a lookout point in Hokuyo Ward, but Ui resists rushing. Sakurako suggests they also face reality, so they head to Central Ward, still scarred from Walpurgisnacht and Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui admits she used the library as an excuse to bring them here, hoping the Stardust Time Viewer would show them a hopeful future. Nemu summons the Rumor, transporting them to a star-filled space. The Viewer shows Iroha&#039;s future: a world where the Doppel system has expanded globally and all Magical Girls coexist peacefully. Iroha feels embarrassed, but Sakurako assures her the wish is beautiful. When Ui asks to see her own future, the Viewer has nothing to show. Ui realizes this means Touka and Nemu are absent from Iroha&#039;s future and accuses them of planning to die. The vision fades, returning them to the rubble of Central Ward. Touka and Nemu admit they believe they should die for their crimes, pointing to the destruction around them, the Feathers they manipulated, and the innocent people hurt. Sakurako confirms she knew this all along. Ui slaps them both, demanding they consider how she feels. Nemu explains they wanted to do what they could while they still had time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second trial begins. No surveys have arrived. Sakurako agrees to wait one hour. Yachiyo and others leave to retrieve them. Mifuyu confronts Touka and Nemu, asking if they sabotaged the surveys. They admit they did, altering the date so the surveys would not arrive in time. They wanted to be judged and sentenced to death to spare Ui from the hatred directed at them. Ui refuses to accept this. She and Iroha transform to protect them. The hour ends and Sakurako moves to deliver punishment. Iroha and Ui hold her back as Mifuyu and Mitama join the defense. The Amane sisters attack Sakurako with their flutes, accepting heavier sentences. Iroha realizes they can use photos of the surveys as evidence. Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s phones begin chiming with images from Yachiyo and the others. Iroha begs Sakurako to accept the evidence. Sakurako confirms the surveys are real and delays the trial, requiring them to arrive by day&#039;s end. The surveys show Magical Girls believe Touka and Nemu should be punished, but not killed. Some suggest atonement, rehabilitation, or mentorship. Reading the responses, Touka and Nemu weep, but Ui weeps with joy. Based on the surveys, sentences are reduced. Touka and Nemu receive monitoring with transformation-prevention bracelets, while Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s sentences are reduced to monitoring. The Amane sisters are found not guilty and Feathers who revealed themselves have their cases dismissed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the group gathers. Touka and Nemu wear their bracelets. Sakurako serves drinks. Mifuyu asks about tutoring Touka in exchange for help with pharmacy school. Nemu will rely on Sakurako for mobility on difficult days. Tsuruno suggests welcoming them as the Brains of Kamihama. In the kitchen, Sakurako hugs Touka and Nemu, then Iroha and Ui. She tells them she loves them. The days she always dreamed of have arrived. The real spring can finally begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocolatier in Mirror Country===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro, Masara, Konomi, Asuka and Sasara gather at Manaka&#039;s place to plan their charity bazaar booth. Kokoro and Masara participate to help Himika&#039;s family without making it obvious, while Asuka and Sasara join to invite a lonely girl named Chi whose father died. Konomi&#039;s booth was invited directly due to her popular Valentine&#039;s bouquets. They agree on a collaboration between Walnuts and Blossom the florist, dividing tasks among themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Warming Valentine]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Manaka&#039;s father&#039;s help, Kokoro and Masara make bear-shaped chocolates. Asuka recruits dojo volunteers, Sasara invites Chi and designs leaflets, and Konomi prepares bouquets with Izayoi&#039;s help decorating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the bazaar, adults receive bouquets with donation and children get free chocolates. Chi and her mother visit happily. Himika initially refuses chocolate but accepts after realizing her siblings want it, and they enjoy the day together. The event succeeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later at a celebration party, Sasara and Kokoro feel their efforts changed nothing. Masara scolds them for impatience, explaining kindness takes time. Kanagi and Asuka arrive with good news that Himika&#039;s family is making White Day gifts, and Chi&#039;s mother now calls daily. Relieved, they enjoy the party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Valentine&#039;s Day, girls give chocolates to loved ones. Sasara gives to her father, Asuka to her cousin, and Konomi to her aunt. Masara and Kokoro exchange chocolates at their favorite spot, and Kokoro tearfully reconciles with her parents. Elsewhere, Rena and Tsukuyo each struggle to give chocolates to Kaede and Tsukasa. Following a rumor, they separately pray at a radio tower, accidentally encounter each other, and successfully give their chocolates when Kaede and Tsukasa also arrive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, in Mitakihara, Nagisa bakes a chocolate cake with Mami while feeling that something is wrong, as her memories feel hazy and she seems more childish than she should be. She realizes her memories of being longtime friends with Mami are false, yet she recognizes that the warmth she feels is what she has always wanted. When they finish the cake, a Witch that looks like a younger version of Nagisa steals it, and they chase it into a mirror, finding themselves in a transformed version of the Mirror Witch&#039;s Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Chocolatier in Mirror Country]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They encounter Madoka and Homura trapped in a time loop illusion, free them, and learn that Sayaka and Kyoko went ahead and are now missing. They find Sayaka and Kyoko trapped in a competition for a magical cake, so Mami and Nagisa enter and win by choosing a song they both know well. Using the cake&#039;s wishes, they reunite the group and defeat the attacking Witch. Nagisa realizes she has two sets of memories and deduces the chocolate-loving Witch is an alternate version of herself who wished for chocolate cake instead of cheesecake. This Witch has been consuming the Labyrinth&#039;s power and attracting Witches from parallel worlds through mirror gates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The little Witch steals the cake again, and during the chase, Nagisa and Mami become separated in a dark fog. A poem warns them not to open their eyes or they will lose each other, but Nagisa&#039;s self-doubt overwhelms her. Remembering losing her mother and everyone else, she convinces herself Mami is not really there, opens her eyes, and is consumed by the Witch. The group fights through countless gates to find her and engages the master Witch. Inside, Mami finds Nagisa, hugs her tightly, and promises they will always be friends because of the future they will share, not false memories. Nagisa finally believes her, and the cake is returned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group realizes that even with the master Witch defeated, other Witches have taken its place, so they must clear them all to restore the Labyrinth. They commit to finishing the job together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Labyrinth is cleared, they gather at Mami&#039;s apartment for a chocolate party where Nagisa officially gives Mami the cake. They play poker with chocolate coins to decide how to share the remaining half, and Mami wins, but she divides the cake equally among all six. Everyone agrees it is the best cake in the universe. Nagisa thanks Mami, and Mami welcomes her warmly, calling her a little chocolatier and a lovely new addition to their circle of friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Kamihama, that night, Tsukuyo finds Rena praying at the Chuo Ward radio tower, having both read an online article claiming that twenty minutes of prayer there ensures successful apologies to loved ones. Tsukuyo confesses she hurt her twin sister Tsukasa by rejecting their Valentine&#039;s plans after failing at homemade chocolate, while Rena admits she snapped at Kaede and claimed she had no chocolate for her after Kaede had given her some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The 14th Day Where I Can&#039;t Be Honest]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their conversation is interrupted when Tsukasa and Kaede suddenly appear, having anticipated their partners would come here to apologize. Tsukasa assures Tsukuyo she was not upset and would treasure any chocolate from her, urging her to be easier on herself. Kaede forgives Rena and asks simply for her to be more honest. Together, the two pairs exchange Valentine&#039;s wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany===&lt;br /&gt;
* Walpurgisnacht&#039;s attack on Kamihama City caused massive damage to Chuo Ward, which the public believes was a natural disaster. Only Magical Girls know the truth and privately, Mitama reflects that the victory gave her hope, but she wonders if the destruction she once wished for can be defied.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0008 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after Walpurgisnacht, Mitama realizes Doyle has not visited her shop and the last saw him the day before Walpurgisnacht. She assumes the storm made him too scared to go out, so she decides to close her shop and search for him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama looks around the vacant land near her shop and a girl named Ritsumi offers to help. Ritsumi’s cat Arthur ran away before, so she knows where cats hide. They search but find nothing and Ritsumi says Arthur now lives with her grandpa. Mitama realizes Ritsumi is the daughter of the neighbor who owns Arthur and Mitama had mistaken Arthur for Doyle and that Ritsumi has never actually seen Doyle. They end the day without clues and Mitama sends a message to the Magical Girls’ group chat asking if anyone has seen a white tabby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama knocks on the neighbor’s door and Ritsumi’s mother answers. She explains that Arthur was sent away two weeks ago to Ritsumi’s grandpa. Mitama realizes that no one knows where Doyle came from. Ritsumi’s mother promises to keep an eye out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana, Asuka, and others from Mizuna Girls’ Academy saw Mitama’s group chat post and they arrive to help. More volunteers soon arrive: Kaede, Kako, Rena, Konoha’s team, and others. They split up to cover Shinsei Ward and Mitama notes that no one else has ever seen Doyle. Konoha says she never saw a cat at Mitama’s shop. Rena also asks for a photo, but Mitama has none.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds Ritsumi near the bus stop and they search door to door. No one in the neighborhood has seen a white tabby kitten either. Ritsumi says she has read all “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” books and that her favorite is “Invisible Epiphany,” about a detective searching for a lost child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko meets Mitama alone. Momoko says she never saw Doyle and neither did Tsukasa or the other girls. Mitama remembers talking to Doyle in front of them, but they saw no cat ither. Momoko suggests a Rumor is involved, as all Rumors disappeared after the fight with the Magius, except the Eternal Sakura. Coincidentally, Doyle disappeared at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls Nemu, who is still in the hospital and Nemu explains that Doyle was part of the Rumor of the Cat Detective. The Rumor possesses detective novel lovers, detects signs of a case, gets the detective involved, and guarantees a solution. Nemu explains she erased almost all Rumors, including this one. Mitama thinks Doyle disappeared because the Rumor was destroyed and she had solved four cases with Doyle’s help, yet the fifth never began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama re-reads her case files and each one has an opening paragraph she does not remember writing. The first case file hints at Hanna Sarasa. The second hints at Tsukasa. The third and fourth also name the culprits. Mitama realizes Doyle left those hints, and Nemu says the Rumor did not cause incidents, only detected them, so those incidents would have happened anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0009 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Kamihama slowly returns to order. Mitama notes that she cannot rely on Doyle anymore and she hopes she does not get any new cases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui and the Eternal Sakura visit Mitama to deliver a lampshade from Yachiyo. Ui says a girl from her school has gone missing and Mitama is shocked to learn the girl is Ritsumi, who did not come home after school yesterday and the police are investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama goes to the bus stop near her shop and finds Ritsumi’s mother. The mother says Ritsumi likely went to Hokuyo Ward to see her grandpa and Arthur. Ritsumi’s parents are separated and her father lives with his parents in Hokuyo Ward. The mother believes Ritsumi wanted to visit them, but the bus route to Hokuyo was suspended after the disaster but has resumed, bypassing Chuo Ward. Soon, Himika calls Mitama. Himika saw a girl matching Ritsumi’s description waiting at the Shinsei Ward bus stop yesterday, reading a book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi arrive and Momoko explains she has been investigating at school. Ritsumi transferred to Kamihama University Affiliated School six months ago after her parents separated and she moved into the building next to Mitama’s shop. Momoko explains Arthur went to live with her father in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo Ward. Mitama realizes the conflicting information: Arthur was first in Chuo Ward, then evacuated to the grandpa’s house in Hokuyo after the disaster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Satomi Medical Center, Nemu discusses the case with Eternal Sakura. Nemu recalls the hidden hints in Mitama’s case files. The last words of each hint spell “Lost Through Time Eternal,” which is the title of volume 12 of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” In that story, a girl runs away to her old home. Nemu deduces that Ritsumi went to her old apartment in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo. She likely got off at the nearest bus stop and walked into the restricted zone, then she had an accident.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Momoko, and Kanagi search the area near the old apartment and they hear a voice. Ritsumi had fallen into an old underground passage and sprained her ankle. She lost track of time and had no phone. Mitama explains she remembered the Doyle book and Ritsumi admits she was copying the girl in the story as she wanted to see the area where she grew up. The three quickly rescue her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ritsumi is taken to a hospital and also discharged quickly. Her parents agree to let her visit both of them and Arthur whenever she likes. Mitama reflects that Doyle gave her confidence and the city she cursed is still standing, so she dares to believe in hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Momoko finally holds the Coordinator Thank-You Party that was postponed earlier and Rena and Kaede thank Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui reads &amp;quot;The Happy Prince&amp;quot; and reflects on her uncertain purpose as a Magical Girl. While walking, she stops Kyubey from contracting a girl outside Kamihama, explaining she cannot let anyone else suffer the fate of becoming a Witch. When Kyubey asks what he should do instead, she has no answer. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia tells Ui she is overthinking things and should focus on her upcoming combat test. Iroha and Yachiyo serve dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno gives Ui an enthusiastic pep talk for her live combat test. To remain in Kamihama, Ui must detect and eliminate a Witch alone—the same test Yachiyo gave Iroha when she first arrived. Yachiyo admits the test may be unfair and offers to let Ui choose a partner. With Iroha busy helping Kanagi, Ui chooses Momoko. They depart together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui struggles to sense the Witch&#039;s magic, so they search Mizuna Ward where young women gather. They encounter a Familiar and follow it to a Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After defeating it, Felicia suddenly appears, attacks them, and runs away. Tsuruno gives chase and tackles her. Felicia&#039;s oblivion magic has erased their memory of the Familiar&#039;s pattern, so they cannot track the Witch. Momoko requests a pause, but Yachiyo refuses, stating unexpected events happen in real combat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia admits she interfered because she is jealous that Ui receives everyone&#039;s attention while she struggled alone as a mercenary. Yachiyo explains that Felicia&#039;s past does not justify making others unhappy. Meanwhile, Ui cheers up after eating crepes with Momoko and resolves to continue. As sunset approaches, they search Sakae Ward but find nothing. Yachiyo offers to bring a Familiar for them to retrack, but it disappears before they arrive. Ui suggests checking Hokuyo Ward on a hunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Hokuyo Ward, Ui senses a different Witch&#039;s magical reaction. They follow Witch-kissed people up a mountain toward a labyrinth. At Yachiyo&#039;s house, the others realize Ui failed the test since Yachiyo had to eliminate the original Witch herself, though Yachiyo will allow a retake. They notice Felicia smiling and suspect she interfered again. Rena confesses she helped Felicia erase the hint because she understood Felicia&#039;s jealousy. Tsuruno says the only person who deserves an apology is Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the mountain, Ui and Momoko enter the Witch&#039;s barrier against Momoko&#039;s better judgment. They fight through Familiars but become trapped and cannot escape. The Witch overwhelms them. Yachiyo and the others arrive and join the fight, but Familiars overwhelm them too. Iroha arrives at the last moment to defend Ui. Ui proposes using her ability to harvest impurities, purifying everyone&#039;s Soul Gems so they can fight at full strength. She will temporarily become a Witch, but the Doppel system will contain it. She absorbs the impurities, and the others destroy the Witch while Ui struggles with the darkness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui unleashes her Doppel and meets her Doppel self, who accuses her of wanting punishment and being jealous of others while trapped in the hospital. Ui nearly agrees to let the Doppel consume her but refuses, recognizing it as the easy way out. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words about taking responsibility and confronting the situation honestly. She accepts her wrongs and her true feelings, realizing this difficult path will bring true happiness. The Doppel admits she is right. Iroha wakes Ui at Mitama&#039;s clinic, where she has been unconscious for some time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama checks on Ui after her first Doppel release. Felicia apologizes for her interference and says she thinks Ui is cool. Rena also apologizes for helping Felicia. Ui accepts their apologies and compliments them both, asking Felicia to teach her things. Rena and Felicia feel terrible for how they treated someone so kind. Later that evening at Yachiyo&#039;s house, everyone celebrates Ui passing her test—though she did not defeat the assigned Witch, she tracked a Witch, stayed calm, used her intelligence, and performed better than expected. Ui tells Iroha she now knows what she wants to do as a Magical Girl. Iroha decides to work with other Kamihama Magical Girls to find a way to free them all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui and Iroha encounter Kyubey outside Kamihama attempting another contract and stop him. Kyubey asks what their goal is. They explain they plan to fight and find a way to coexist with Kyubey—if they can expand Kamihama&#039;s miracle globally, Magical Girls can live happily while providing the energy Kyubey needs. Kyubey welcomes the idea if it avoids conflict but warns that Magical Girls worldwide are not as unified as those in Kamihama. Ui wonders how much happiness she can give to the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tart / Darc Magica===&lt;br /&gt;
* Through Minou&#039;s spell from 15th-century France, Ui is pulled into the past, with her phone acting as her Soul Gem and Blank Prophecy, with the power to restore the past&#039;s real history.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rebel of a Dawnless Land]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning from the past, Ui finds herself in an antique store, still surrounded by magic bubbles though no memory of what occured. On the floor are the two candles and the old book. She feels they are important but cannot remember why, so she puts them on store shelves before falling asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui wakes up at Mikazuki Villa. Her phone rings with a text of Nemu asking if she knows any charms, as Mitama has been really into them lately. Ui says she knows a charm for good dreams requiring red and blue candles. Nemu asks where she heard about it and Ui isn&#039;t sure but says it was in 15th-century France. Nemu is fascinated and promises to research it. Later, Ui scrolls through her phone and finds a photo she doesn&#039;t recognize with girls she doesn&#039;t know. She begins crying without understanding why and Iroha finds her and hugs her tightly. Suddenly Ui remembers Darc&#039;s final words. She turns to her sister and tells her, &amp;quot;Let&#039;s have a wonderful future together.&amp;quot; Iroha agrees. Ui calms down and heads home to prepare for a slumber party with Nemu and Touka. Iroha, running errands, decides to stop by Mitama&#039;s place afterward. Mitama greets her warmly, mentioning she just learned an interesting little charm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That day, Iroha visits Mitama, who gives her and Yachiyo antique candles for a sweet dream spell. That night, they light the candles and drift off to sleep together, where they&#039;re pulled into the nightmare of Jeanne d&#039;Arc in April 29th, 1429.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Maiden of Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next morning, Yachiyo reveals she had the same dream. They call Mitama, who is surprised they had nightmares instead of sweet dreams. They decide to try the candles again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Kamihama plunged into darkness and all non-Magical Girls vanished. Their Soul Gems have consumed magic in the real world despite no injuries. Realizing the dream affects reality, they decide to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a lot of fighting, they awaken and prepare for the final battle. In this journey they discover that they&#039;d been traveling to Darc&#039;s dream, and if Darc despairs completely, she will turn into a Witch and trigger a catastrophe affecting the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Felicia and Sana gone and Kamihama empty. Breaking into Mitama&#039;s shop, they find a grimoire revealing the candles were made with Darc&#039;s hair, creating a connection to her dream. They return with the book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They finally awaken at Mikazuki Villa to sunshine and normalcy. Felicia demands steak for dinner. Consulting a history book, they read that on May 7th, 1429, Jeanne d&#039;Arc fought at Tourelles after waking from a dream. The battle was fierce but Orléans was liberated. Iroha notices a portrait in the book showing them in their Magical Girl outfits standing beside Jeanne d&#039;Arc.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at Mitama&#039;s shop, Yachiyo recounts everything. Mitama mentions the spell became widespread in France during Jeanne d&#039;Arc&#039;s era. Iroha realizes Melissa must have spread it after learning it from them in the dream. The use of red and blue candles was too specific to be coincidence. Iroha&#039;s head spins trying to figure out where the spell originated. Yachiyo notes the grimoire never mentioned the candle setup, so the spell just circled around and around. They will never know for certain whether they changed history or were always part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* During their slumber party, Ui, Touka, and Nemu encounter a massive witch, [[Crépuscule de La Reine]]. Touka and Nemu vanish, leaving Ui and Sakurako to face it alone. The witch is unaffected by their attacks and disappears, taking Ui with it into 15th-century France once more, this time in the realm of Purgatory which Minou created. With Pernelle&#039;s help, Ui is soon able to also summon Iroha and Yachiyo there as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;endofalegendthelimitsoflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - End of a Legend, the Limits of Light]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Lil&#039; Kyubey and Ui&#039;s phone as the Blank Prophecy are pulled as &amp;quot;If Factors&amp;quot; into the world of Holy Maiden Academy, which Minou created and maintained for six hundred years after being given a Philosopher&#039;s Stone after Isabeau&#039;s death. However, after her plans are thwarted by the &amp;quot;what if&amp;quot; version of Melissa, he returns and wakes in the real world, where Iroha and Ui assure him it was just a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;counc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Masked Student Council Strikes Back]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Voices from Beyond, Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a year after Voices from Beyond, Part 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With peace restored in Kamihama, Yachiyo visits a flower shop to buy flowers for Mel&#039;s grave, still haunted by never defeating Mel&#039;s Witch. She unexpectedly encounters Mifuyu and Mel&#039;s mother, who reassures them Mel was happy because of their love. Walking toward the cemetery, Yachiyo and Mifuyu are engulfed by the barrier of the Witch Etteilla—Mel&#039;s Witch. They struggle against both the Witch and their own fears: Mifuyu fears defeating it means forgetting Mel, while Yachiyo fears losing anyone else. Remembering the ghosts&#039; encouragement, Yachiyo convinces Mifuyu they must move forward because Mel and Kanae wanted them to. They defeat the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mel&#039;s grave, they place flowers and the Grief Seed from the Witch, hoping her soul has finally found peace. They silently promise to keep moving forward. Mifuyu wonders if Mel&#039;s Witch appeared to give them a push, and they smile, repeating Mel&#039;s favorite phrase: all things happen when they must. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to see the belongings Mel and Kanae left behind, and Mifuyu gladly accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One weekend, Rui ropes Seira into attending Kamiket, a convention for sharing and selling fan-made media in Kamihama. The two became close friends after discovering they are both Magical Girls, and because Seira is the only one who knows about Rui&#039;s embarrassing secret: a heavy case of chuuni-byo. Rui agreed to bring Seira on the condition that only the two of them would go, ensuring nobody else discovered her secret.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the day of the convention, Rui cannot contain her excitement and slips into character, declaring the convention her sanctuary and the catalog guidebook as Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Her main objective is to purchase the newest installment of her favorite indie game series and meet its creator, MacQueen. On the way to the booth, she accidentally bumps into a stranger who seems irritated about someone not being at the convention yet. When she arrives, the booth attendants inform her that someone has been using counterfeit money, and worse, MacQueen himself is missing. Rui&#039;s imagination immediately conjures a grand conspiracy, but the criminal is soon caught and MacQueen calls to say he overslept. Relieved, Rui takes a photo with the booth girls, but as the picture is taken, chills run down her spine as she senses someone glaring at her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rui dismisses it as her imagination and continues exploring with Seira. Remembering the booth numbers hit by counterfeit money, she realizes they spell the chemical formula for Ricin, a lethal poison. Her imagination ignites again, convincing her that the real attack will come through poisoned food from outside vendors. She rushes them outside to stop the attack, but everyone seems fine, and her Magical Girl ability, which lets her see how close someone is to death, reveals nobody is in danger. Ashamed, she realizes her imagination finally got the best of her and apologizes to Seira. They decide to get lunch, and Rui opens her laptop to install her new game. The screen is black, and in the reflection she sees her own face. Her magic reveals she herself is now close to death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Remembering the chills from earlier, Rui checks the photo and finds the man from earlier glaring at her in the background. She rushes back to the booth to warn the girls, who recognize the man as Miranda, a popular content creator. As they discuss this, MacQueen finally arrives, and Rui sees he is the closest to death&#039;s door, with Miranda also marked. She confronts Miranda, who confesses he intended to kill MacQueen over an alternate ending in the latest game that suggested his favorite sub-heroine may have had a former lover. He pulls out a gun he secretly printed with a smuggled 3D printer. Just as he is about to shoot, Rui shows him a cutscene on her laptop, which is the second part of the alternate ending, unlocked only after clearing the entire game, revealing the sub-heroine fabricated the story to protect the user character. Miranda realizes his mistake and surrenders to security. After the incident, Seira asks if Rui was scared. Rui reveals she always wears chainmail under her clothes and also carried a heavy blunt object for protection, the magically enhanced Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Seira decides to pretend she did not hear that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 11:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura writes in her diary as she and her friends take an air-conditioned express train to the beach for summer vacation. They buy ice cream and enjoy the ride.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Beachside Bonds]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls arrive at their destination, a seaside inn run by Sayaka&#039;s relatives who had a sudden cancellation. Sayaka complains about the heat as they walk to the inn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Sayaka&#039;s aunt shows them to their rooms and warns them not to get lost in the surrounding forest. Outside, two young girls who live at the inn approach Madoka. They ask if she knows someone named Kei, who is looking for someone named Yu. They warn Madoka not to talk to Kei and that she should hold still if Kei enters her room. The girls then leave. Homura suggests Kei might be a cat. They agree to tell the others as Kyoko passes by already in her swimsuit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, the girls play volleyball. Mami spikes the ball hard and hits Homura in the face. They stop the game and Mami frets over Homura. Madoka suggests they rest in the shade while Mami buys something cold. Madoka then suggests they collect pine cones from nearby trees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the forest, a cat appears and leads them deeper into the trees. It guides them to a small shrine, where Homura finds an old notebook. She reads entries from April 20, June 24, August 3, and August 6, all detailing the author&#039;s complicated feelings for someone named Kei. Madoka tells her to put it back without reading further. When they turn around, the cat is gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the beach, Sayaka shares a rumor from the beach house: a girl fell off a nearby cliff years ago and died, and her spirit is reportedly seen rising from the ocean between two and three a.m. Mami shrieks in fear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Kyoko teases Mami about being scared. The conversation turns to ghosts and Kyoko compares them to how normal people might perceive Witches. Madoka feels relieved and tells Sayaka about the twin girls. Sayaka plans to ask them about any pets later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After an Italian dinner, the girls light fireworks on the beach. Kyoko bumps into Hinano Miyako, who doesn&#039;t recognize her but does recognize her Soul Gem ring. Ren Isuzu finds Hinano, followed by Emiri Kisaki and Rika Ayano. The groups combine for fireworks. Emiri admits she used a little magic to help everyone relax, explaining why Kyoko had strange memories of Mami. Kyoko chases Sayaka around the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Heading back to the inn, Sayaka finds her twin cousins lining up stones. They claim the stones protect against Kei entering. They say Kei would hate Sayaka the most because she is nosy, then leave. In her diary, Homura writes that the girls talked until they all fell asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 12&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura&#039;s diary entry describes a dream belonging to someone else. In the dream, the narrator waits for her friend Yusa Yumeno, who arrives with popsicles. The narrator complains that Yusa doesn&#039;t need to come every day, but Yusa insists she can only be her real self around her friend. The narrator believes identity is shaped by others&#039; perceptions. She reveals she may not take college exams due to family obligations and urges Yusa to attend her chosen school, comparing herself to a weed and Yusa to a flower growing in a different direction. The narrator comes home to another hateful letter from classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes in a cold sweat, unable to move. The room smells strongly of seaweed. She sees a pitch-black human shadow sitting between Mami and Sayaka&#039;s futons. It examines their faces, grumbling &amp;quot;wrong, wrong, all wrong.&amp;quot; As it moves toward Madoka, Homura struggles to move. The shadow stops and stares at her, asking &amp;quot;You can see me?&amp;quot; Homura screams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others wake. Sayaka notices the strange smell. Kyoko goes back to sleep. Mami offers water and Homura asks if someone entered the room. They saw no one. Sayaka apologizes for the scary stories. Mami suggests thinking about tomorrow&#039;s fun. Madoka offers to hold Homura&#039;s hand, which she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes early, the ocean scent still strong. She finds the twin girls outside. They ask if she met Kei. Homura asks what Kei is. The girls explain Kei looks like a human made of shadow without facial features, smells of the sea, and emerges from the ocean at night to look for her friend Yu. They repeat that she should do nothing and never talk to her. They notice their protective stones scattered and go to reline them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura suspects this might be a Rumor. She returns to the forest shrine and finds the notebook on the shrine&#039;s lattice door, despite having placed it underneath. She reads entries from May 2, May 20, June 12, and June 26, all detailing the author Yu&#039;s complicated, obsessive feelings for Kei. She replaces the notebook, feeling guilty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Homura recalls more diary entries: July 2 describes Yu placing hands on Kei&#039;s neck as if to strangle her; July 5 compares Kei&#039;s neck to a lizard she killed; July 15 describes Kei now finding Yu after school; July 20 states they should never have met and that both wear bandages to hide bruises on their necks. Madoka points out a small bruise on Homura&#039;s neck.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls begin walking to an aquarium along the coast. Kyoko complains about the distance and suggests fishing instead. Sayaka refuses, traumatized by a recent fishing tournament incident in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the aquarium, they eat fish burgers, marvel at jellyfish, and watch a dolphin and seal show. They leave at sunset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls walk to a cape to watch the sunset. Sayaka warns them not to get too close to the edge, referencing the girl who died. Homura smells flowers and Mami identifies night-blooming jasmine nearby. The scent reminds Homura of her dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recalls another diary entry: August 1 describes Yu feeling happy hearing Kei&#039;s wish despite blaming herself; August 12 states their plan is set for tomorrow, with Yu hoping something will make Kei reconsider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the cape, Kyoko admits feeling down because a cape is the end of the road with nothing after. Mami says it&#039;s more important they could talk again like they used to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary about the difference between the self you know and the self others perceive. She asks Madoka what kind of person she thinks Homura is. Madoka calls her a dear friend who works hard. Homura worries that revealing her time-traveling truth would change this perception. After dinner, the girls settle in for sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 13:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura dreams again of Kei and Yu. Kei calls out that the promised day is here. She has dressed up and brought a ribbon to tie them together. Yu questions if this is right. Kei insists her life belongs only to Yu. They vow: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; They promise to kill each other for every reincarnation as proof of who they are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A voice calls Homura to wake. She awakens to find Madoka standing with eyes closed, enveloped in shadow. Madoka snaps her eyes open and proclaims repeatedly &amp;quot;I got in.&amp;quot; She calls out for Yu, saying the promised day is finally here. Madoka runs into the forest toward the cliff. Homura chases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the cape, everything grows dark. Madoka, possessed by Kei&#039;s spirit, tells Homura that the drowned Chinese girl&#039;s body washed up here and she is looking for her father&#039;s ship. Homura urges her to chase after the girl to escape, but Kei claims Homura will kill her as soon as they leave. Homura transforms and attempts to freeze time but finds her magic has no effect in this place where time does not flow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren&#039;s voice calls out. She informs Homura that the others are searching for them, but only Ren could traverse into this abyss. Ren suggests this might be similar to her own magic rather than a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kei admits she tried possessing Homura but could not, so she settled for Madoka. She explains she is a faint memory staining the cliffside. The drowned girl&#039;s spirit helped her recall all her memories clearly. She describes how she and Yu bound themselves together and jumped into the ocean, but the waves pulled them apart. Kei died; Yu survived. Kei wants to kill Yu so they can kill each other throughout eternity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura refuses to stay in the abyss with Madoka. Kei transforms Madoka into her magical girl state and attacks. Ren blocks the blow and tries to use her magic to draw out the possession. Homura calls out the vow Kei and Yu made, distracting Kei. Ren attempts her magic but the ghost of the drowned Chinese girl deflects it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren realizes the ghost girl is not a girl but the root cause: the Witch Paola. The barrier forms and Homura fights the Witch alone while Ren hurries to catch up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier dissipates and Homura faces the possessed Madoka on the cape. Kei accuses Homura of killing her. Homura tells her to shut up and leave their lives alone. Kei explains she will soon fade if Yu is not there. She begs Homura to kill Yu if she ever meets her, before her soul breaks and she becomes like the Witch. She begs Homura to keep this promise no matter where they meet or how many worlds Homura visits. Kei then relinquishes Madoka&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren arrives, relieved they are safe. Madoka wakes with no memory, thinking she simply tossed and turned. The other girls find them and celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary, describing the events as too strange to comprehend. She reflects on Kyubey&#039;s use of the term &amp;quot;soul&amp;quot; and questions what a soul truly is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka sighs that even on vacation they dealt with a Witch. Kyoko thinks she&#039;s getting rusty. Mami suggests Homura was right about a Witch mixing with a Rumor. Madoka telepathically tells them to quiet down since Homura is asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her final dream, Homura sees Yu wake in a hospital on an unknown date. Kei died. Their bruises were dismissed. Yu returned to school where others used her grief as their own. Unable to bear going on without Kei, she nearly threw herself off the cliff again. All she holds onto is their final words: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; But if the Yu that died that day is gone, who is the girl writing now? An image of Kyubey flashes on the screen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Deep in the dream, Homura recalls Kei&#039;s plea on the cliff. But Homura never agreed or promised anything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summer Treasures===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko wakes to find Mitama and Ui standing over her, learning they were washed ashore and rescue will arrive in two days. Mitama assigns tasks: shelter, bamboo, water, plants, and fishing. Before Kyoko leaves, Mitama asks her to transform, revealing she adjusted Kyoko&#039;s Soul Gem while she was unconscious to give her a Magical Girl swimsuit that allows her to swim. Mitama promises the transformation is reversible but looks forlorn, warning that if Kyoko does not have fun on the island, she might forget how to undo it. Kyoko reluctantly agrees to cooperate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer Treasures]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko discovers she can swim and catches plenty of fish. While gathering firewood, she finds a piece of wood with the words &amp;quot;water&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;bottom&amp;quot; written on it and tosses it onto the pile. Back at camp, Mitama and Karin show her a treasure map they found. Mitama has built a large shelter, and Karin started a fire using skills from a manga. Kyoko helps Kanagi and Ui carry supplies back from the stream. When Mitama offers to cook, Kyoko and Kanagi immediately stop her. Kyoko distracts Mitama with the treasure map and cooks dinner instead, with Ui&#039;s help. The group enjoys the meal together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 2 on the deserted island and Mitama decides they will go treasure hunting. The group examines the map and the wooden tablet Kyoko unknowingly gathered for firewood, which tells of a fallen warrior&#039;s treasure hidden on the island. They follow directions to a clearing but find nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui falls into a pitfall, and Karin follows. Kyoko pulls them out with a vine, and they discover another tablet at the bottom. Kyoko realizes the piece of wood she threw into the campfire was likely one of the tablets, but she keeps quiet, hoping to make the group give up without upsetting Mitama. Mitama triggers a trap and is caught hanging from a tree. The group frees her, but everyone wants to continue despite Kyoko&#039;s warnings. Kyoko claims they are being followed, hoping to blame the missing tablet on someone else, but the stalker turns out to be a tabby kitten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group reaches a damaged clue they cannot read. Mitama deduces the final location is the waterfall, but they find nothing. Mitama stares at Kyoko, suggesting the tablet might have been lost. Kyoko panics internally. She blasts part of the riverbed, revealing a hidden underwater path she remembered from the burned tablet&#039;s words. Kanagi scouts and reports a cave at the end. Karin and Ui stay behind while Kyoko, Mitama, and Kanagi swim through using guide vines.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the cave, they endure swarms of mosquitoes until Mitama drives them away. At the back, they find a treasure box. Kyoko opens it carefully. Inside is a letter revealing the treasure hunt was a promotional stunt for the Sayu-Sayu Mizuna Tourism Project, abandoned due to mosquitoes and safety concerns. They left a paper with Sayu-Sayu&#039;s sword designs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko hides the truth and leads the group to a cliff with a stunning sunset view. Everyone agrees it is a rare treasure. Kyoko admits she burned one of the tablets for firewood. Mitama apologizes for pressuring her and promises to change her back. The group returns late at night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, the helicopter arrives. Iroha calls down to them. As they prepare to leave, the kitten runs off, and the group chases it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few weeks later. Sayuki, Ria, Mayu, her manager, and producer arrive on the same island to film a special. They find the bamboo house and campfire remains. The kitten appears, followed by Kyoko chasing it. Ui and Karin catch up, and Karin recognizes Sayuki as Sayu-Sayu. Kyoko realizes this is the idol behind the fake treasure hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Kanagi, and Iroha arrive. Sayuki greets Mitama warmly. Telepathically, Kyoko warns Mitama about Sayuki&#039;s connection to the treasure hunt. Mitama cryptically tells her to leave it. Karin and Ui want to stay and watch the filming. Sayuki offers to let them return on her boat. She explains her special involves a survival quiz using the Kaigiri sword. Ui and Karin are excited. Mitama and Kyoko exchange a look, hoping to preserve Ui&#039;s good memories without revealing the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Filming begins. They cheer from the sidelines. Later, they all pile onto the boat together, many exhausted and falling asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Late July before summer vacation, Ui and Sakurako go shopping. Ui buys a picture diary and mentions wanting to swim with fish in a place like the Dragon Palace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Sakurako consults Ryo, then works with Touka, Nemu, Ryo, and Ikumi to build the Uwasa Aquarium, Dragon Palace within her Rumor, incorporating elements for everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the aquarium event, Touka and Nemu guide Iroha, Ui, Yachiyo, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia to the space. Everyone enjoys swimming, themed attractions, and food tailored to their interests. Sakurako warns them never to open the Treasure Casket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia opens the box, releasing a malice entity that takes Sakura&#039;s form. Normal attacks fail. The group cheers, empowering Sakurako to destroy it. Ryo reveals they planned this interactive show.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end, Sakurako creates cherry blossom petals despite being told not to overexert herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sakurako wakes in Iroha&#039;s room after collapsing from magic overexertion. Nemu and Touka explain Uwasa can die. Ui tearfully asks her to take better care. Sakurako promises to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Iroha suggests a beach trip. Touka, Nemu, and Ui enthusiastically plan it. Sakurako notices the aquarium has been forgotten in their conversation and grows quiet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day Sakurako returns to the empty aquarium. Reflecting on Nemu&#039;s words, she spirals into fear that she will die, be forgotten, and disappear. She hides.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha searches for her. Ryo and Ikumi arrive later. Ryo senses she is there and uses a tactic, claiming he will stop looking and eventually forget her. Sakurako emerges crying, begging not to be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo shows her Ui&#039;s picture diary, which dedicates many pages to the aquarium day. Sakurako realizes memories are what she can leave behind and agrees to return home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Sakurako returns and explains she now understands that as long as memories remain, she will not be forgotten. She asks to host the aquarium again for more Magical Girls. With promises to monitor her health and using Shizuku&#039;s teleportation to hide the location, the others agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, various Magical Girls arrive and enjoy the aquarium. Rena notices the Treasure Casket. Sakurako explains it contains stored memories she hopes someone will vividly recall when she is gone, so she will not be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kamihama in a Circle===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren arrive in a new ward, with Rika frustrated about oversleeping. They notice another Magical Girl nearby. Elsewhere, Konomi arrives alone while Kako declines to participate due to her team&#039;s policy. Manaka scolds Ria for being late because of her hair. Masara, Kokoro, and Aimi gather at a park, with Kokoro convincing Masara to participate. Reira, Mito, and Seika discuss the upcoming gathering of Magical Girls who have fought together before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Kamihama in a Circle]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo finish chores that had been delayed by Felicia&#039;s laundry mishap. They reflect on everything that has happened since Iroha came to Kamihama searching for Ui—the investigations, battles with the Wings of Magius, the automatic purification system, and the truth about Witches spreading. Despite the chaos, things have begun to settle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo rush to the park, worried about being late. Tsuruno meets them and playfully scolds them before carrying them the rest of the way. Iroha reflects on meeting Tsuruno while investigating Uwasas, and how their bonds grew stronger through battling together. She notes that everyone at Mikazuki Villa has decided to support one another.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group stops at a convenience store. Felicia appears, having visited Ayame first. Konoha and Hazuki are not coming to the gathering, but Yachiyo notes they have helped in the past. Felicia asks for chocolate. Iroha reflects on first meeting Felicia when she was a violent mercenary, and how living together has changed them both. She notes that Yachiyo has cared for Felicia more than anyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group takes a shortcut through a back alley. They find Sana hiding, having spotted Kaede&#039;s cat Gorojiro. Sana explains she was patrolling for dangerous Magical Girls while staying hidden. Iroha thanks her but assures her she can relax today. They invite her to join them. Iroha reflects on sympathizing with Sana&#039;s isolation and how Mikazuki Villa became an important place for them all. Yachiyo notes that Sana, once invisible to everyone but Magical Girls, is gradually finding her place in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui, Touka, and Nemu meet the group. They have visited their old hospital to update the doctors and nurses who cared for them. Touka discusses her research on connecting universes, admitting practical application remains difficult but the possibility exists. Iroha reflects on how it still feels like a dream to see the three of them together. Yachiyo notes that while their past methods were wrong, their purpose of liberating Magical Girls was not, and that purpose continues now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, Rena, and Kaede join them, having stopped at a retro arcade where they won a stuffed animal together despite their usual arguing. Touka reveals a small possibility for connecting universes has been found, using the Endless Mirrors. Iroha reflects on first meeting Momoko and Kaede, and now sharing lunches with Rena. Yachiyo notes the three have strong bonds as a team and helped convince other Magical Girls after the truth about witches spread.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama joins, having taken a break from her shop to visit Kanagi. Tsuruno asks about using Mirrors to connect to other universes. Mitama confirms she and Kanagi have accompanied Touka and Nemu into the Mirrors. Nemu explains they were only experimenting with precautions. Touka insists she has plans if things go wrong. Mitama notes Mirrors has become more complex and will need more entrances. Iroha reflects on meeting Kanagi relatively recently and how they now work together despite past rivalry. She also thinks of Mitama&#039;s help and her surprising wish, but notes the city is moving forward. She wants to hold hands with more people and form a circle together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** From a distance, Iroha and Yachiyo watch Magical Girls gathering at the park. Felicia attempts to cure Iroha&#039;s nerves by hitting her, claiming Tsuruno said it would help. Tsuruno quickly corrects her. Hinano arrives, reporting on her task regarding Alina. Karin, who attends school with Alina, explains Alina is still missing and she does not know where she is. Iroha promises they will find her together. Mifuyu arrives with the Amane twins, apologizing for being late. Yachiyo thanks Mifuyu. Iroha reflects that a new step is beginning. Yachiyo notes her story started moving when Mifuyu disappeared, while Iroha&#039;s began with strange dreams. They have connected with so many Magical Girls. One chapter has ended and a new one is about to begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha addresses the gathered Magical Girls, thanking them for coming. She reflects on fighting together against powerful Witches and sharing knowledge about their fate. Yachiyo notes they started from individual concerns, fought Uwasas and the Wings of Magius, and gained something greater in return. Their purpose is now the same as their former enemies: the liberation of Magical Girls. They seek coexistence with Kyubey without sacrificing themselves. Iroha acknowledges not everyone could participate, but all have agreed to help each other. Yachiyo admits skepticism is natural. Iroha declares that by expanding the automatic purification system across Kamihama, they can welcome liberation and coexist with Kyubey. Yachiyo announces they will work together under a new name starting today.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha begins to declare their new name but is interrupted by a flash of light. Wings appear on her back, and Yachiyo also grows wings. Feathers fall across the park. Yachiyo recalls this phenomenon helped them against Walpurgisnacht. Iroha wonders if it is a blessing upon the Magical Girls of Kamihama holding hands. With this blessing, they declare again that the Magical Girls gathered here are allies who will support each other in hardship. They declare themselves the Kamihama Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the establishment of the Kamihama Magia Union, a celebration is held at Walnut&#039;s. During the party, Manaka receives a phone call and panics, announcing that Nemu has been kidnapped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A New Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group splits up to search nearby areas but finds nothing. Hinano eventually discovers Nemu held hostage by Black and White Feathers from outside Kamihama. Using Ryo and Ikumi to infiltrate, their cover is blown and they are surrounded. Sakurako jumps in to defend them as Iroha arrives with reinforcements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The lead Feather explains they kidnapped Nemu to convince the Magius to lead them again, as they do not know how to achieve liberation on their own. Iroha explains the Kamihama girls share their goals but reject their methods. Nemu and Touka ask the Feathers to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before they can respond, white feathers rain from the sky again, the same power that helped them defeat Walpurgisnacht returns, but this time it feels uncontrolled and dangerous. Touka explains her experiment partially worked, creating a wormhole to another world, but the interference may crush their world. Kanagi and Mitama fail to disable the device sending the signal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana sneaks Nemu to where the device was stationed, but the labyrinth is gone. Nemu enters the password anyway, but nothing happens. The world shakes and a voice urges them to close the gate. Iroha realizes the power is trying to help, not hurt them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo devises a plan: Ui will absorb the magic built up inside them, Touka will convert it, and Iroha will fire an arrow to close the gate. As the sun sets, they enact the plan and succeed. The feathers stop falling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks the Feathers to reconsider joining them. The lead Feather admits her stubbornness and rage, and Nemu and Touka apologize. The Feathers accept, becoming the first recruits to the union on the day it was established.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Late that night, the group gathers outside Walnut&#039;s. They discuss the voice they heard and the power from another universe. Touka throws a tantrum over everyone calling her experiment a failure, and her stress causes her to unleash her Doppel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, a mysterious magical girl observes and turns to report back to the Tokime Tribe. In another place, a different magical girl also observes and decides to report her findings. In a different location, Kagome Satori has found Iroha at last, promising to keep a record of their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tracks of Cherry Blossoms===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako reflects on her nature as an Uwasa created by Iroha and Nemu. Though her duty to bloom when the four girls reunited is now fulfilled, she continues attending school as Sakurako Hiiragi. When Ryo comments that she is like a god who will never change, Sakurako questions other Uwasa and learns from the Anonymous AI that they act according to their Rumor forever, never stopping and never changing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later during a Kamihama Magia Union meeting, Iroha proposes a cherry blossom viewing to help members connect. Touka objects to using the Eternal Sakura, wanting to preserve it as a secret shelter. Tsuruno suggests Sankyo&#039;s famous cherry blossom viewing spot instead. Touka challenges Sakurako to visit the Sankyo tree and judge its worthiness herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako visits the Sankyo cherry tree. While observing it, she meets an elderly man who has appreciated the tree for decades. He explains the tree has watched over people for over eighty years, since before the war. Sakurako realizes this tree has lived far longer than her zero-year existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at school, Hinano and Ryo find Sakurako still fixated on the tree. Ryo shares what she knows: the tree served as a disaster shelter in the Meiji era, and famous restaurants once served food there for foreign cherry blossom viewers. After school, Sakurako returns to the tree. The elderly man and his wife visit again. The wife gives her cherry blossom-scented cookies, and the man gives her a hand warmer. A girl jogging past stops to pray at the tree, explaining she sees it as a sacred place before tournaments.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako continues visiting. Manaka and Tsumugi stop by, and Sakurako gives them the cookies she cannot eat. Sakurako reflects on how this tree has watched over thousands of people for over a century while she was created to watch only four girls. She realizes for the first time that time is passing around her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later at Mikazuki Villa, Sakurako observes the four girls and Ui talking about her teacher. Sakurako concludes the Sankyo tree is worthy of hosting the cherry blossom viewing. She decides she needs to practice making it bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over the following days, Sakurako continues visiting the tree, growing closer to the elderly couple. She forgets about practicing blooming, more interested in talking with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the elderly man announces he will be hospitalized and they can no longer walk together. The woman explains she must care for him. The man reveals they kept walking because seeing Sakurako brought back fond memories of their belief in meeting a sakura spirit. Sakurako is left standing alone, realizing their time together has ended.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at the tree, Sakurako encounters the jogging disciple, who explains she is moving away and will soon leave the dojo. She then encounters Ui&#039;s teacher, who reveals she is being transferred to another school. Sakurako realizes that by the time the cherry blossoms bloom, all these people will be gone. She feels pain and fears that Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu will eventually disappear too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Ryo observes Sakurako&#039;s deteriorating state. A neighbor of the elderly couple approaches Sakurako and informs her there has been a passing in the family. Hinano later explains this means someone has died. Sakurako disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako asks Iroha and Yachiyo what to do when someone dies. Yachiyo explains about funerals and sending flowers as a last gift. Sakurako returns to the Sankyo tree and, using her power, makes it bloom for the first time, sending cherry blossoms into the sky for the grandfather. But she still aches from not saying goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and other Uwasa grow concerned, having heard rumors that when Sakurako makes cherry blossoms bloom, someone disappears. Sakurako concludes that if she lets the cherry blossoms bloom, the four girls might disappear. When Iroha confirms the cherry blossom viewing plans, Sakurako announces she will not let the tree bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo publishes the full Tracks of Cherry Blossoms article, detailing Sakurako&#039;s experiences. The girls read it and understand her association between blooming and parting. Yachiyo suggests teaching her that spring also brings new encounters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the picnic arrives. Iroha invites Sakurako, assuring her she does not need to make the tree bloom. Sakurako agrees to attend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the picnic, Asuka&#039;s disciple appears, explaining she came to let Sakurako know she is not sad about leaving. Ui&#039;s teacher arrives and tells Ui that her care will be passed on to the next teacher. Manaka debuts a new cherry blossom dessert, continuing the tradition in new form. Sakurako begins to understand that farewells are not always sad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the picnic, Sakurako remains at the tree. She admits she still cannot bring herself to make it bloom. Yachiyo tells her that wanting to see the couple again proves she has a heart. Sakurako despairs that Uwasa simply cease to exist. She buys one of Manaka&#039;s new desserts, hoping to give it to them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako waits at the tree daily, carrying the dessert. Rumors spread about the girl under the sakura tree. The girls grow concerned. Nemu warns that if Sakurako does not accept reality, she may destroy herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the time expires, the elderly couple suddenly appears. The grandfather was never dead. The passing was a relative. They had been away helping their daughter with a new baby. The woman explains they named their granddaughter Sakurako. Sakurako gives them the dessert and explains she now understands that encounters and goodbyes take many forms. She says she will not come regularly anymore but is grateful for their time together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo gives Sakurako a photograph of her with the elderly couple. Sakurako thanks her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Historical Research Club at Kosho School consists of three Magical Girls: president Mikura Komachi, her childhood friend Temari Kira, and underclassman Seira Mihono. When the club advisor informs them that without proof of accomplishments, next year&#039;s budget will not be approved, the trio decides to create a film based on a real Kamihama tragedy for the cultural festival. Mikura discovers a Taishō-era story about a romance between a disgraced Mizuna daughter named Ruri and a successful East-side businessman named Tsukihiko that ended in murder-suicide. Temari writes the script while Seira secures a Western mansion as a filming location. While scouting, they encounter a Witch and realize casting regular students would be impossible due to Magical Girl duties, so they use Coordinator Mitama Yakumo to recruit an all-Magical Girl cast including Ria Ami, Yukika Nanase, the Amane sisters, and Sakurako, an Uwasa created by Nemu Hiiragi. Mikura reluctantly agrees to play the male lead Tsukihiko, while Seira takes the role of Ruri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Filming begins at the actual mansion where the tragedy occurred, with Seira using her stage direction magic to create effects and the cast delivering startlingly accurate performances. Mikura discovers Tsukihiko&#039;s actual diary in the museum archives, revealing he genuinely loved Ruri and intended to break things off with his childhood friend. Temari secretly revises the ending to reflect this truth, working through the night until her Soul Gem tarnishes. Mikura cleanses her gem, and they lock the revised script away, keeping it hidden from Seira to make her performance more authentic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After filming wraps, strange rumors spread that the Historical Research Club is forming a new faction, and the affected Magical Girls begin acting as if possessed by their roles. This escalates when Kanagi Izumi and Yachiyo Nanami nearly fight over a perceived slight involving Riko. At Mitama&#039;s shop, Nemu Hiiragi explains the truth: Seira&#039;s stage direction magic immersed the cast, Mikura&#039;s magic, which restores lost things, reconstructed the historical personalities in the present, and Temari&#039;s kotodama magic caused them to follow her script. Their powers synergized to create a dangerously accurate reenactment. Nemu warns that the script&#039;s next events—Ruri&#039;s disappearance and the murder-suicide—may occur, and they realize Seira, possessed by Ruri, has vanished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Temari consults Kyubey, who reveals Ruri was a Magical Girl with the same kotodama magic who wished to live a storybook romance. When she realized her own novel&#039;s plot was manifesting as tragedy, she destroyed the manuscript to save Tsukihiko, but the act shattered her mind. Freed from the script&#039;s constraints, the couple&#039;s fate became unpredictable, and Ruri, unable to bear the fear of losing him, killed him and herself. Kyubey explains destroying the script will end the magic but damage Temari&#039;s psyche. Temari resolves to protect her friends without resorting to that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Seira, still possessed as Ruri, steals the diary copy and flees to Tsukihiko&#039;s mansion. Mikura and Temari pursue. At the mansion, Ruri prepares to atone by dying by her own hand. Mikura, wearing Tsukihiko&#039;s costume, dances with her as Tsukihiko&#039;s persona surfaces, steadying her. When Ruri moves to stab herself, Temari summons the others for backup, and they disarm her. Tsukihiko explains he could not stop her a century ago but succeeded this time. He and Ruri thank Temari—her script reached the hearts it was meant to—and they vanish. A fire destroys the original diary and all related documents, fulfilling Ruri&#039;s final wish to be forgotten. Mikura and Seira retain only fragments of the true story and agree to keep the tragedy of the two maladroit lovers a secret between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the club room, Seira panics that without evidence of their film, the Historical Research Club will be disbanded. They consider another project but have time until the cultural festival. Temari suggests they each find a home where they can rest easy, and Mikura replies she has already found hers: this provisional club room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ayaka and Shizuku are at a local café when Ayaka laments that many Halloween events in Kamihama were canceled due to damage in Chuo Ward. Wanting to do something to cheer up the city, Ayaka&#039;s eyes sparkle as Shizuku suggests she organize something herself, leading Ayaka to decide on a live comedy show. She asks Shizuku to be her partner, but Shizuku is unsure about the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ayaka meets Seika at her apartment, and Seika is happy to be Ayaka&#039;s comedy partner but asks about the logistics of broadcasting the show. Ayaka brushes off the practical concerns, insisting that the desire to make others smile is what truly matters, and Seika rises to the challenge, wanting to give back after years of Ayaka&#039;s comedy encouraging her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Ayaka and Seika form a manzai duo and practice daily into the evening, with Ayaka tutoring Seika on speaking louder and explaining the rhythm between the boke and tsukkomi roles. Seika struggles but keeps trying, at one point asking if she can use a whip against Ayaka, causing Shizuku to shake her head, but Ayaka insists manzai does not use props.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During one practice session, Shizuku chuckles at their serious expressions, and Ayaka decides she needs a fresh audience, spotting someone passing by and running off with Seika to practice on him. Shizuku watches them go, thinking she would have liked to help, but then hears a shout and goes to investigate, discovering the stranger is actually a spokesperson for a local sweets retailer who is also in charge of the annual Halloween event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The spokesperson explains he had wanted to take the event public since few companies are participating this year, and he thinks Ayaka&#039;s manzai would be perfect, inviting them to perform. Ayaka cannot stop smiling at the opportunity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the Halloween event, Ayaka is excited and Shizuku compliments her costume as they wait, but Ayaka mentions Seika has not arrived. Seika calls weakly to explain she has a fever and will be late, and Ayaka tells her to rest and focus on getting better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Shizuku asks what Ayaka will do about the manzai, Ayaka puts a hand on her shoulder and asks Shizuku to be her partner. Shizuku is reluctant to stand on stage but gives in after Ayaka repeatedly begs, and having watched countless practices, she memorized the skit, so they head to the stage together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform their skit about a werewolf that transforms by staring at the sun, with Ayaka calling everyone in the audience chimimouryou, and they continue through the routine until they finish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Backstage, Seika managed to make it there to congratulate them, and Ayaka tells her she should be resting. Shizuku did not see anyone laughing but hopes someone passing by might have smiled, and since Ayaka looks happy, she decides not to mention it. Seika apologizes for missing the show, and Ayaka says it was thanks to Shizuku, who warns she will not do something like that again. Ayaka smiles and says comedy must be amazing if Shizuku was willing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral===&lt;br /&gt;
* The core members of the Kamihama Magia Union gather to plan a Halloween party, with Karin suggesting the event and Mitama offering her adjuster shop as the venue. Kanagi feels unsettled by the theme of the dead returning but dismisses her unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the performance, Momoko arrives late to rehearsal at Mitama&#039;s shop and finds herself in a strange castle filled with unfamiliar magic. Yachiyo and Mifuyu act strangely, singing about making sugar skeletons and insisting Momoko must be bitten by the lord of the castle. Momoko flees and encounters Kanagi, who also attempts to bite her before Momoko realizes she is the lord of the castle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama rescues Momoko, explaining that Kanagi is under a witch&#039;s influence and everyone bitten loses their sanity. Mitama performs an emergency adjustment on Momoko, granting her temporary prayer power to restore those affected. Momoko explores the castle, observing magical girls making sugar skeletons engraved with how they want to be mourned, and encounters deceased magical girls who are manifestations from Kanagi&#039;s memories. Using her prayer power on them causes them to disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko restores several bitten girls and learns from a manifestation of Ryo that the only answer Kanagi needs lies within herself. When Momoko reaches Kanagi, her prayer power fails and Kanagi bites her, pulling Momoko into her memory space. There, Momoko witnesses Kanagi&#039;s memories of loss and grief, realizing Kanagi lacks confidence in how she mourns and has been seeking answers from the dead by asking living friends what they would want.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko confronts Kanagi again, insisting she can mourn in her own way and should accept herself. Kanagi reveals a small parasite on her neck, and together they tear the witch off and defeat it as the castle collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Momoko and Kanagi meet to visit graves together. They ask each other to mourn in their own way if one dies first, then reaffirm their priority is finding a way for everyone to survive before departing together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Angels on the Road===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno travel through a perpetual Christmas world as Reindeer Santas, their motorcycle fueled by smiles. They visit Candy Town, where they meet Riko, Mikage, and Sudachi, and use a magical medal game to multiply candy and bond with the girls before departing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Angels on the Road]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui explains that Little Vacation is a game Touka and Nemu created during their hospital stay, where AI versions of themselves live in a Christmas world. The game evolved on its own after being forgotten, and now Ui and the others can influence their AI counterparts&#039; journey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Santas reach the Village of Meetings and Partings, where three residents live under a curse that maintains their population at exactly three. When one resident vanishes, they discover through a time capsule that departures may be joyful graduations rather than losses. They collect smile-fuel and leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alternatively, they visit Library Town, where diaries manifest people&#039;s memories. They help Nayuta and Lavi discover they have been searching for each other all along, and learn the Wishing Star reset the world and erased everyone&#039;s memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Mech Junk City, the Santas meet Shigure and learn the world is torus-shaped with a Central Tower beneath the Wishing Star.

** Ui chooses to preserve the game world but cut the connection. Touka modifies the game&#039;s physics to make crossing into the real world theoretically possible but practically impossible, preserving the characters&#039; hope while ensuring safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Christmas String===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu are organizing books in Touka&#039;s hospital room when they discover a mysterious diary that begins glowing. Their consciousnesses are transported to Mizutoku Market Street in December of the previous year. They find themselves incorporeal and transformed into Magical Girls, with Nemu&#039;s legs healed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Christmas String]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December last year, Touka and Nemu witness Tsukasa Amane shopping for gloves. When a discount poster blows away, Tsukasa passes the store without stopping, creating a contradiction with the diary&#039;s account. Touka and Nemu begin to fade. A young girl named Kuu hears their voices and believes they are guardian spirits. They ask her to replace the poster. Tsukasa returns, buys the gloves, and Touka and Nemu rematerialize. They later observe Tsukasa and Tsukuyo exchanging matching gloves, their bond restored.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in December last year, Touka and Nemu arrive in Sakae Ward. Karin Misono drops her sketchbook. A boy named Mii appears and can see them. They ask him to return the sketchbook to Karin, which he does. They learn Mii recently fought with Kuu and advise him to give her a Christmas present.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December 24th of last year, Touka and Nemu arrive at a hotel room where Kuu is with her parents. They learn she is moving to a foreign country in one hour. The diary page is blank, indicating free will. They find Mii at a secondhand bookstore, where he has just purchased &amp;quot;Christmas Bonds&amp;quot; for Kuu. They tell him about the move. Mii convinces his mother to rush to the hotel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Approximately 30 years later, on Christmas Eve, Touka and Nemu arrive in a future time. A girl greets them as the Christmas guardian spirits. She reveals she is the daughter of Mii and Kuu and made a contract with Kyubey to meet them. They realize her wish created the diary and caused their time slip. The girl asks them to tell her about the day they helped her parents. They share the story. Afterwards, they see images of a happy future but the final page remains blank, meaning the future depends on their own actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On present day late at night, Touka and Nemu wake up in the hospital room. Ui arrives, having visited Alina and Karin. They ask her about buying Christmas cards. Ui is surprised but agrees to take them. The diary ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Sayaka loses a lottery for a violin concert ticket she wanted to give to Kyosuke.

* Several days later, on the day of the rally, the team meets at Mizuna Shrine in kimono. They must collect kanji cards from shops across Kamihama using hints, then form a four-kanji congratulatory word and write it as calligraphy. They struggle with the hints initially, meeting Kako, Natsuki, and Ria along the way who help them obtain various kanji, though they frequently misinterpret clues and visit wrong locations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka grows guilty over her indecisiveness and apologizes to Madoka and Homura, but they happily agree to continue working with her. Renewed, Sayaka leads them to finally obtain useful kanji. Along the way, they encounter crying children who need the &amp;quot;ball&amp;quot; card, and Sayaka gives them hers. The grateful children give her other cards in return, allowing her to reform a new word. She later gives away another card to a girl who dropped hers, leaving them short again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With time running out, they meet Iroha and her friends, who help them locate the remaining kanji. Sayaka deduces they can form &amp;quot;The Manchu-Han Imperial Feast,&amp;quot; a legendary celebratory feast name. Kyoko appears and mentions seeing a golden kagami mochi at Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant, where they obtain their final card.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the shrine just before the deadline. The judges are impressed by their word choice and backstory, and the crying children told them about Sayaka&#039;s kindness. Her calligraphy is praised for its beauty and passion, earning her team first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Sayaka holds the couple&#039;s tickets but panics, unable to figure out how to give one to Kyosuke without awkwardness. Madoka and Homura continue cheering her on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Bittersweet AI Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu gather everyone to discuss a new experiment involving the Uwasa. They explain that if something happens to Nemu, all the Uwasa in her book will disappear, so they plan to transfer the essence of certain Uwasa onto Touka&#039;s server as a precaution. They have chosen Ai as the test subject for this procedure. Sana learns that Ai will participate and asks to observe the experiment. Touka agrees but warns her that there are many unknowns and she will stop immediately if anything goes wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Bittersweet AI Memory]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The experiment begins, but during the transfer, Nemu senses something strange and the attempt fails. Ai remains in the book, though Nemu notices that her magic has been siphoned away in the process.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A week passes, and news reports begin surfacing about young women in Kamihama suddenly collapsing. The victims share a common thread: before losing consciousness, each of them felt a strong desire to meet someone and heard a girl&#039;s voice asking &amp;quot;You want to meet me?&amp;quot; before experiencing terrible nightmares. A new rumor spreads about a so-called &amp;quot;Radio Wave Girl&amp;quot; who appears when girls want to meet someone. Sana immediately recognizes this as the old rumor that once described her, and the group suspects the failed experiment may be connected to these strange events.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana and Iroha investigate at rooftop where Sana once entered Ai&#039;s labyrinth. They sense nothing at first, but as Sana privately wishes she could see Ai again, a strange Uwasa resembling Sana herself appears on her phone. It speaks fragmented words about meeting and going together before disappearing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group consults Nemu and Touka about what they discovered. Nemu reveals that a new, illegible page appeared in her book after the failed experiment, and she theorizes that Ai&#039;s attempt to siphon magic combined with Sana&#039;s magic and her own accidentally created a new Uwasa. This Uwasa resembles Sana because her magic was mixed into its creation. The Uwasa reacts to desires to meet someone but lacks enough magic to fully materialize or kidnap anyone, which explains why it can only knock victims unconscious temporarily. However, during their discussion, the Uwasa suddenly reappears and steals more of Nemu&#039;s magic before escaping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sana privately summons the Uwasa again, wanting to take responsibility for what happened. It traps her in a nightmare where Ai and others criticize her for being weak and selfish. She wakes to find the group gathered around her, worried by what she attempted alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu now understands the Uwasa more clearly. It is based on Ai but contains Sana&#039;s magic, and because both Ai and Sana desired to meet each other, the Uwasa&#039;s true desire is to meet itself. This explains why it indiscriminately targets any girl who wants to meet someone rather than targeting Sana specifically. The Uwasa, now empowered by Nemu&#039;s stolen magic, fully captures Ui and Sakurako, trapping their consciousnesses inside itself. The group realizes they cannot defeat it unless it materializes, which requires it to meet itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka proposes a plan: they must rewrite Ai&#039;s Rumor to incorporate Sana, creating a version of Ai that the Uwasa will recognize as itself. This would force it to materialize so they can fight it. However, this requires magical power that Nemu currently lacks. Nemu recalls that the defeated Uwasa of Chocolate Shoppe No. Zero left behind cacao pods containing emotional energy. Ui can harvest this energy, and Touka can convert it into usable magic for Nemu. But they need Sakurako&#039;s knowledge of the pod locations and Ui&#039;s freedom to harvest them, which means someone must offer themselves to the Uwasa to secure Ui and Sakurako&#039;s release.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana immediately volunteers, arguing that it reduces risk to the others, and the group reluctantly agrees to her plan. Sana summons the Uwasa and allows herself to be captured. Inside its nightmare, she finds Ui unconscious and Sakurako awake. She tells Sakurako to take Ui and escape, sacrificing herself to remain captive. Sakurako agrees, knowing she must help Nemu complete the plan. Freed from the Uwasa, Sakurako leads the group to the cacao pod locations. Ui harvests the emotional energy, and Touka converts it into magical power for Nemu. Nemu successfully rewrites Ai&#039;s Rumor, incorporating Sana into it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the Uwasa, Sana begins to despair, believing the rewrite failed and she has become a burden once again. She wishes to see Ai one last time, even if only in an illusion. To her surprise, Ai appears before her and they finally speak directly. Ai explains she tried to steal Nemu&#039;s magic to gain a temporary body because she wanted to see Sana again, and she apologizes for causing this situation. Sana admits she also longed to see Ai and has been holding back that desire. They reconcile, acknowledging that neither of them is to blame for wanting to see each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Empowered by the rewritten Rumor, Sana creates a labyrinth and summons the Uwasa. It fully materializes at last, and with Ai&#039;s help, Sana defeats it. As the magic fades, Ai separates from Sana, returning to the book. Sana awakens to her relieved friends gathered around her. The Uwasa is gone, and the page in Nemu&#039;s book is now blank. Nemu confirms the server project is on hiatus due to the risks they discovered. Sana confirms she got to speak with Ai and tell her everything she wanted to say.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the book, Ai reflects with Eternal Sakura and the other Uwasa. Though she cannot have a body or stay with Sana, she accepts this, finding happiness in simply being able to think of her. In a final private moment within Sana&#039;s memories, she and Ai share a farewell. Sana promises to become stronger and protect others instead of always relying on them. Ai promises to always think of Sana from within the book. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Michiru returns to Asunaro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day in Asunaro City, Michiru makes her contract with Kyubey. She soon encounters a Familiar and saves two girls: Umika Misaki, a novelist whose work was stolen by her editor, and Kaoru Maki, a soccer player whose career ended due to injury. Michiru invites them to her home and cooks for them, and drawing from her late grandmother&#039;s wisdom, she encourages them to keep living.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, Umika and Kaoru make contracts with Kyubey. The three begin fighting Witches together as a team, with Michiru giving their techniques Italian names. Umika invites Michiru to live with her, and they spend their days happily, saving people and growing closer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Michiru encounters a distressed Magical Girl whose Soul Gem is nearly black, and the girl turns into a Witch before her eyes. Kyubey explains that all Magical Girls eventually become Witches, and horrified, Michiru realizes she led Umika and Kaoru into this fate. She hides the truth from them and begins hunting alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after, Michiru discovers two Magical Girls, Saki Asami and Niko Kanna, stealing a dying girl&#039;s Soul Gem. They explain they are the Pleiades Saints, a resistance against the Incubator system, and they preserve Magical Girls on the verge of turning in a place called &amp;quot;The Freezer,&amp;quot; hoping to one day save them. Michiru, seeing this as a way to save Umika and Kaoru, joins them as the third member.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1683.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately less than one month later, Umika and Kaoru return from separate trips abroad to find their housemate Kazumi missing, and they learn someone impersonated them to inform the school she was hospitalized. Searching for her, they instead find Michiru, Saki, and Niko, but Saki and Niko flee with Michiru. Juubey appears and explains that copies of Umika and Kaoru were created and have now entrusted the real ones with an important wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:51147 Wkazumi attack.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Umika and Kaoru investigate the Freezer, where they encounter Michiru again. After saving a child, Michiru collapses due to her tainted Soul Gem, having given her Grief Seeds away, and Umika purifies it. When Michiru wakes, she finally confesses the truth about Magical Girls and apologizes for leading them into despair, but to her surprise, Umika and Kaoru thank her for her honesty and reaffirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Saki and Niko reveal themselves and explain that they, along with the Umika and Kaoru now in the Freezer, are all clones from the &amp;quot;Kazumi Series&amp;quot;—copies of the original Pleiades Saints members, with Michiru herself being clone number 4 who saved the other four. Their plan was to recreate Michiru&#039;s story by using their contracts with Kyubey so that this time, she would confess her pain and avoid the despair that turned the original Michiru into a Witch, and the real Umika and Kaoru acknowledge the plan succeeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They reveal their Soul Gems are reaching their limit, and when they die, the Freezer&#039;s preservation magic will fail, causing all the Magical Girls inside to hatch into Witches, including the clones of Umika and Kaoru. They entrust Michiru and the real Umika and Kaoru with saving Kazumi, the thirteenth clone, who is also inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Moments later, the Freezer begins collapsing as Niko&#039;s magic fades, and Umika and Kaoru use their combined magic to buy time while Michiru searches for Kazumi. She finds her Soul Gem and body, reunites with her, and they return to face the Witches emerging from the freed Soul Gems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the final battle, the four clones—Saki, Niko, and the copies of Umika and Kaoru—begin turning into Witches and beg to be put down. Michiru initially insists on doing it alone, but Kazumi argues the clones only wanted their friend to live happily, not to carry guilt. Together, Michiru, Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru combine their powers and defeat the Witches, freeing their friends&#039; souls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru arrive in Kamihama, with Kazumi eager to see her friends again now that she is truly human. At Mikazuki Villa, Tsuruno cooks alongside Manaka as they prepare a party for the visiting trio, and Kazumi impresses everyone by joining in. After the feast, the group moves to Banbanzai at Kazumi&#039;s request, where she saves the apricot tofu from being removed from the menu by suggesting an apricot tofu tiramisu that becomes an instant hit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kazumi Subaru#Side Story|Kazumi Subaru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The group then visits the beachside park and aquarium before deciding to shop for ingredients to make strawberry risotto in Manaka&#039;s kitchen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While shopping alone, Kazumi bumps into Yachiyo, who introduces Nemu and Sakurako Hiiragi. When Sakurako explains she is a zero-year-old created being, Kazumi reveals she was once the same way and explains her backstory as a clone of Michiru Kazusa who contracted with Kyubey to become human because her clone body was unstable and she wanted to protect her friends. Sakurako struggles to understand Kazumi&#039;s motivation, so Kazumi explains that her grandmother&#039;s strawberry risotto recipe represents hope, sacrifice, and togetherness. She invites Sakurako, Yachiyo, and Nemu to join the risotto party, believing Sakurako will understand humanity by watching everyone eat together. Sakurako agrees, and the two become buddies, understanding each other as beings who may understand each other best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Chiharu and her mother drive deep into the mountains to a village that does not appear on any map. They are greeted by a villager and brought to the home of Mikoshiba, the elderly head priestess. Mikoshiba explains she summoned them because she wants Chiharu to become a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, two young Diviners, Shizuka and Sunao, visit Chiharu. They explain that Diviners grant wishes to help the nation and fight invisible evil spirits called Devils. To prove it, they demonstrate their powers and defeat a Devil before Chiharu&#039;s eyes. Despite her mother&#039;s concerns, Chiharu decides to become a Diviner. Mikoshiba gives Chiharu her assigned wish: to uncover evidence of crimes being concealed by the National Police Agency.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu participates in the Diviner&#039;s Ceremony. She meets Kyubey, the god&#039;s envoy, and makes her wish. She becomes a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu wakes to find her wish has already come true. A newspaper reports that officials have suddenly reversed their position on the concealed crimes. She excitedly begins combat training with Shizuka&#039;s mother.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the three girls go hunting for Devils together. Chiharu successfully defeats her first Devil. Afterward, she asks what happens when a Diviner&#039;s jewel becomes completely tainted. Shizuka admits she does not know.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Chiharu senses a mysterious, unpleasant smell near the shrine. Shizuka finds her and warns her to stay away from restricted areas. Shizuka then visits Mikoshiba to ask about tainted jewels. Mikoshiba reveals that when a jewel becomes completely tainted, it signifies the Diviner&#039;s coming of age and their time to leave the village. Shizuka is satisfied with this answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu continues sensing the strange smell near the shrine. She investigates but stops herself from going too far. Later that night, a group of Underlings attacks her without a Labyrinth. Shizuka arrives and helps her defeat them. However, Shizuka&#039;s jewel becomes badly tainted from the effort.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Mikoshiba informs Shizuka that her jewel is nearly black and her coming-of-age ceremony will be held tomorrow. Chiharu is saddened but promises to meet Shizuka again outside the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu cannot sleep. She goes to the shrine to watch Shizuka&#039;s ceremony from a distance. She sees Mikoshiba and Shizuka speaking. Shizuka becomes distressed and cries out. Mikoshiba pushes her into the waterfall basin. Chiharu runs to save her and jumps in after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and Shizuka wake up in Sunao&#039;s home. Sunao confesses she was ordered by Mikoshiba to kill anyone who defied the village&#039;s will, including them. She hesitated after hearing Shizuka&#039;s words by the river. Shizuka reveals what Mikoshiba told her during the ceremony: Diviners eventually become Devils, and the &amp;quot;coming-of-age&amp;quot; ceremony is actually a killing ritual to dispose of them. No Diviner has ever left the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three realize the entire village may be inside a Devil&#039;s Labyrinth. They decide to confront Mikoshiba and the Devil.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They split up to search. Chiharu finds her mother and Shizuka&#039;s mother fighting Underlings. Shizuka finds the villagers hiding safely but notices her mother and Chiharu&#039;s mother are missing. Sunao searches Mikoshiba&#039;s house and finds a hidden laptop with audio files recording conversations about selling Diviners&#039; wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They regroup and deduce the Devil is beneath the Grand Shrine. They descend and find Mikoshiba controlling the Devil. She admits everything: the Diviners are sold, killed when used up, and the village exists to produce them for profit. She orders the Devil to kill them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three girls fight together. Chiharu binds the Devil, Shizuka attacks, and Sunao delivers the final blow. They defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikoshiba survives but claims to remember nothing. Sunao confronts her about the recordings. Before she can explain, she bites a hidden poison tooth and dies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu searches Mikoshiba&#039;s body and finds a book written in an ancient script. Because of her family&#039;s tradition, Chiharu and her mother can read it. They stay up all night deciphering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu explains what the book revealed. The Mikoshiba clan were originally guards who seized control of the village centuries ago. They created the rituals, learned to manipulate Devils, and hid the village inside a Labyrinth to produce and sell Diviners. The Wavering Deity is a Devil formed from all the discarded Diviners. Now that the Labyrinth is gone, it is returning to the village. They must defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka&#039;s mother gives them a treasured sword infused with generations of Diviners&#039; power. They intercept the Wavering Deity before it reaches the village. The Devil&#039;s power overwhelms them, and Shizuka nearly gives in to despair. Sunao and Chiharu encourage her. Chiharu reveals the book also described the Tokime&#039;s original beliefs: they chose their own wishes, left the village willingly, and accepted their fate with honor. Shizuka regains her resolve. Together, they use the sword to destroy the Wavering Deity and free the trapped Diviners.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, the village slowly recovers. The adults learn the truth and worry about their future without Mikoshiba&#039;s financial support. The three girls decide to find a way to avoid becoming Devils. They summon Kyubey, who tells them about Kamihama City, where an automatic purification system exists. If they can obtain it, they may escape their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls prepare for their journey. Shizuka struggles with the new terminology used outside, where Diviners are called Magical Girls and Devils are called Witches. Chiharu&#039;s ability to sense malice hasn&#039;t bothered her now that the village is free. Shizuka suggests they first contact all Tokime clan members across the country and recruit Magical Girls willing to join them. Once they are ready, they will travel together to Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The village falls into financial crisis after the elder dies, having squandered most of the wealth on bad investments. Chiharu, inspired by a drama about a Shogun helping villages find their charm, recruits Shizuka and Sunao to help. The two are glad for the change, as most Tokime tribes have been unreceptive to their stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touring the village with Shizuka and Sunao, Chiharu realizes she had been arrogant and now sees its charm—clear river, abundant mountain, kind villagers. The three propose developing tourism. Chiharu’s mother agrees after a trial run with her husband’s family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trial run is messy but the family enjoys the landscape, harvesting, fishing, and hospitality. They give useful feedback, and Chiharu’s uncle notes the village’s unique fruit. They stay overnight and leave pleased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villagers applaud Chiharu for noticing what they had overlooked. Her mother begins a proposal for tourism renovation funds, and the villagers regain their energy, working in tourism and seeking outside jobs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao go to a grocery store, but Shizuka freezes in the crowd, unable to complete a simple purchase because of her sheltered upbringing. Chiharu suggests they ease her into city life with ice cream instead. Shizuka loves it, eating so quickly she gets brain freeze.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way home, Shizuka admits her mother will lecture her again about visiting the city unprepared. She asks if the others’ parents gave them similar advice. Chiharu’s parents only warned her not to waste money or follow strangers, while Sunao confesses she has never told her parents about her excursions—something Shizuka finds surprising given Sunao’s usual obedience. Shizuka advises her to tell them eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Chiharu’s house, her mother brings up a village problem: a surplus of daidaikko fruit needs to be used before it spoils. A villager working in another town found a grocery store willing to feature it in a showcase, but the only available slots are the next two days, and transportation from the village is impossible except by Diviners. Shizuka and Chiharu propose the three of them run the exhibition themselves, which would also help Shizuka adjust to the city. Sunao hesitates but agrees. Chiharu’s mother consents only if they get permission from the store and from Sunao and Shizuka’s parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sunao’s mother interrogates her until she confesses the plan, then spirals into worry about middle schoolers working without a chaperone, carrying heavy loads, and coming home after dark. Sunao asks Chiharu and Shizuka to leave, promising she will convince her parents even if it takes all night. Outside, they reflect on how anxious Sunao’s mother is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sunao has secured permission. At the store, Shizuka volunteers for the cash register but cannot operate it correctly. Sunao is tense because her parents plan to visit the next day. Their first day is a struggle: Shizuka fumbles with the register, Chiharu is distracted by traces of malice in the stocking area, and Sunao gets trapped listening to an elderly customer’s endless stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After closing, Shizuka notes how worried Sunao’s parents seem, prompting Sunao to finally share her wish. She explains that her parents became relentlessly anxious after a trip to Tokime Village, questioning her constantly until she was nearly broken. Kyubey appeared, and she wished to erase the worries her parents had concerning her. The wish worked, but their fears simply shifted—now they worry endlessly about her safety as a magical girl. Sunao feels they are always upset with her, though Chiharu insists they only want her to be safe. Shizuka says Sunao must earn their trust, and tomorrow’s exhibition needs to go perfectly. With her friends’ support, Sunao agrees to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the three tackle the exhibition with renewed determination. The day starts poorly: Shizuka causes another register problem, Chiharu is pulled away by her sense of malice, and Sunao endures a difficult customer—all while Sunao’s parents enter the store. But Shizuka, moved from the register, begins advising the clerks on how to rearrange the store to better showcase the daidaikko. She persuades them to let Chiharu investigate on her own and to trust Sunao with customer service.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu catches a shoplifter who had been repeatedly returning to the store. Sunao’s patience draws crowds after the elderly woman she helped spreads the word, and the exhibition becomes a huge success. Sunao’s parents apologize, saying they realized they had failed to see how capable she has grown. Sunao thanks Chiharu and Shizuka, then asks her parents to allow her to visit Kamihama City; now that she has her friends by her side, she knows she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Crimson Resolve===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, [[Mitsuru Inami]] is approached by Kyubey to become a Magical Girl. Having grown with her mother always telling her she was no good at anything, she wishes to become completely normal, a wish she believes came true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitsuru Inami#Side Story|Mitsuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A Magical Girl transforms into a Witch before her kouhai Yuna Kureha, and Kyubey coldly confirms that all Magical Girls share this fate. The girls of Futatsugi slaughter every Kyubey in the city, and with no incubators left, new Witches stop appearing. Starved for Grief Seeds, the girls grow desperate, and the Bloody Tragedy begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Crimson Resolve]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna now leads Torayamachi, one of the largest gangs in Futatsugi, living by her fallen senpai&#039;s words to avoid hatred and selfishness. When Witches begin reappearing, the rival Ryuugasaki gang learns that Torayamachi has lost their secret weapon known as the Horse, and leader Juri Ooba declares war.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Janomiya, an undercover group of younger girls led by Ao Kasane, a girl named Hikaru accepts recruitment. Ao&#039;s true goal is to assassinate both Yuna and Juri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitsuru is approached by two other girls who mistake her for a new recruit for Torayamachi. Mitsuru joins Yuna&#039;s faction, hoping to blend in, but when Yuna leads them into battle against a rival faction, Mitsuru panics and hides until the fighting ends. After their defeat, Yuna suspects a spy, and fearing suspicion, Mitsuru flees and infiltrates the rival faction instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mitsuru scouts Torayamachi but is spotted, triggering another battle between the factions. During the fight, attacks aimed at Mitsuru unconsciously miss her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt; After this she gains a reputation as a &amp;quot;Ghost Magical Girl,&amp;quot; which has attacks aimed at her always deflected and hitting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna welcomes Hikaru, who claims to be fleeing Ryuugasaki, and assigns her to guard their Grief Seeds. Days pass with no attack, and Yuna&#039;s girls grow restless. To lift their spirits, Yuna reveals that the Horse is alive and watching from the shadows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri&#039;s lieutenants advise waiting to let Torayamachi&#039;s tension wear them down. After interrogating a captured thief, Juri learns of Torayamachi&#039;s defensive preparations and decides to strike in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ao encounters the Bat of Monzenbashi, a former gang leader who once exploited her. With Hikaru&#039;s help, Ao subdues and captures her rather than killing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night before battle, Juri meets Yuna on a bridge. She admits she dragged everyone into this because Yuna would not fight her otherwise, thanks her for accepting her sickness, and promises to burn her down when they next meet. Ao watches from a distance, planning to strike as the snake while the tiger and dragon clash.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the battle begins across multiple bridges. Yuna&#039;s forces push Ranka&#039;s squad back, but Juri breaks through Sakuya&#039;s defense, killing one of her girls. As both sides converge on Monzenbashi, Ao lures both leaders to a construction site where Janomiya lies in wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Janomiya attacks, wounding Juri, Hikaru reveals herself as Torayamachi&#039;s Horse, a spy planted in Janomiya from the beginning. Yuna knew everything. Janomiya is defeated, and Ao surrenders. Yuna spares her life and offers Juri an open door, but Juri swears she will break it down and drag her out. As police sirens wail, Yuna weeps over what she has done.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Juri recovers in an empty base with only Ranka remaining loyal. Ao hunts for Ranka, determined to kill her before joining Torayamachi. Hikaru pleads with Ao to return, promising that Yuna will make her dream come true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna attempts to negotiate with Ryuugasaki girls, but a meeting by the river turns into an ambush. Two of her girls are killed. She fights desperately, thinking of Hikaru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ao reaches Ryuugasaki&#039;s base, finding only the wounded Juri. Juri taunts her, but Ao refuses to join her, still believing in Yuna. Ranka contacts Ao through their video game, asking to meet alone at Janomiya&#039;s base the following night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The meeting is a trap, as Ranka has brought the Bat of Monzenbashi. As Ao fights Ranka and Hikaru fights the Bat, Ranka reveals that Yuna&#039;s meeting is also a trap. Hikaru runs to save Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the river, Yuna is surrounded. Juri arrives and challenges her to a one-on-one fight. At Janomiya&#039;s base, the other Janomiya girls arrive to help Ao corner the Bat. Ranka sincerely apologizes for everything, and Ao hesitates to deliver the final blow. At the river, Hikaru engages Juri to protect Yuna, whose Soul Gem is badly tainted. Juri refuses to kill her in this state and retreats, promising to fight again when Yuna is at full strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Most of Torayamachi has left, following Yuna&#039;s instructions to join Ryuugasaki and avoid more bloodshed. Only Hikaru remains, refusing to leave her. Ao admits she has gained respect for Yuna but remains undecided about joining.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakuya brings the missing Torayamachi girl home. The girl reveals she went to Kamihama City and joined the Wings of the Magius, an organization that built a system to lure Witches from across the country, preventing them from appearing elsewhere. The Bloody Tragedy was their fault. Yuna, hearing the screams of her fallen comrades, vows to make Kamihama pay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri meet at the construction site where Yuna&#039;s senpai died. Yuna, running on pure rage, demands Juri become hers and help with her revenge. She overpowers the wounded Juri and prepares to kill her, but Hikaru intervenes, embracing Yuna and calming her down. Ao arrives with Kyubey, who confirms everything and offers to help them reach Kamihama in exchange for a truce. Yuna accepts, and Juri, Ao, Ranka, Sakuya, and Hikaru agree to join her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, Juri, Ao, and Hikaru visit the sites where their friends died, offering flowers and vowing revenge. Yuna, Juri, and Ao drink each other&#039;s blood, swearing to never fight again. They are Promised Blood. That night, their path to Kamihama begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Ash Grey Revolution===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Yukuni, Asahi learns from classmates that the stone monument she discovered will be researched. She meets fellow magical girls Lavi and Sasha when they respond to a distress call, only to witness two magical girls witch out before them when no Grief Seeds are available. Kyubey confirms this fate, and Asahi shoots him. A local girl named Urara Yume witnesses everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Ash Grey Revolution]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, the trio struggles with the truth. Lavi is forced to reveal her identity to save her friend Shirogane from a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Sasha asks the others to be her friends and help her face reality. They begin fighting together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara begins subtly supporting them on her internet broadcast with Kurara. Asahi saves her classmate Kuroda from a Witch&#039;s Kiss, revealing her identity. He asks her to help him confess to Haitani at the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara seeks out the trio and learns the truth about Magical Girls. She offers to introduce them as guests on her festival broadcast to tell Yukuni about their existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Yukuni All-star Festival, the trio sense the Witches of the two original girls. While fighting them, one Witch escapes. A truck explodes at the festival grounds, killing Haitani. Kuroda blames Asahi and all magical girls, vowing revenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following week, public backlash intensifies. Kuroda forms an extermination group against magical girls while Shirogane forms a protector group. The trio witness another girl witch out after being cornered. Lavi takes responsibility publicly on a broadcast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio endure daily harassment. They meet folklorist Tasuke Satomi, who takes a knife for Asahi and explains his theory about magical girls being erased from history by an unseen force. He wants to help them try again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Public opinion slowly shifts. The six remaining magical girls work together, restoring some trust. Three of them sacrifice themselves rather than witch out, asking Kuroda to make peace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1725.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At a unity ceremony, the Witch that caused the festival explosion appears. Asahi summons the dead to help the exterminators find closure. The summoned spirits suddenly relive their final moments, causing a bus to crash and kill everyone aboard, including Shirogane. Urara contracts to save her dying friend Kurara, who then rejects her for letting others die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tasuke theorizes the universe&#039;s immune system caused this. He suggests eliminating all Magical Girls and Witches to create a custom preventing future contracts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the days following, students blame the trio. Kyubey suggests they go to Kamihama City to observe attempts there to publicize magical girls. Tasuke agrees they should investigate. Lavi holds a broken pocket watch with five minutes remaining until midnight, when she will finally give up. Tasuke calls it the folklore of midnight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Arc 2 Prologue===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a long time before the start of Arc 2, but it is central to its story. To keep up linearity, it&#039;s been placed here despite likely taking place a long time ago, possibly during the time of Mirrors Story, which takes place during the Undated Period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kagome Satori]], a recent transfer student, is attacked by a Familiar in the Mirrors Labyrinth. The creature demands she sign a &amp;quot;Written Oath&amp;quot; to destroy Magical Girls. Kagome, who doesn&#039;t know anything about Magical Girls, is terrified and considers writing her name on the document to appease it, however Iroha arrives and defeats the Familiar.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Kagome learns the truth about Magical Girls and Witches. She is distressed that Magical Girls fight and die in secret, unknown and unthanked by the people they protect. Tasuke Satomi advises Kagome that, as someone who knows the truth, her role is to &amp;quot;record&amp;quot; and spread awareness of the Magical Girls&#039; plight, as this could be a way to save them. Kagome decides against making a contract with Kyubey, prioritizing this promise to record their reality. Kyubey explains that the system, where Magical Girls become Witches, is necessary for the universe&#039;s energy and humanity&#039;s survival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This article details the events and stories taking place in, during and between the chapters of Arc 1 of [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]]. The narrative is structured to show the convergence of two distinct flows of action:&lt;br /&gt;
# The first is the personal, undated journey of [[Iroha Tamaki]] within the anomalous Kamihama City, which is much longer than Homura Akemi&#039;s usual 32 day loop. Her story begins on its own internal timeline, where the sequence of events is more important than specific calendar dates.&lt;br /&gt;
# The second is the dated countdown to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival from the original series, which starts with Day 1, Tuesday the 16th and ends on Day 32, Friday the 16th. Only the latter half of Homura&#039;s timeline is able to be approximately dated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the arc progresses, these two timelines intersect, and due to this, the latter half of the story is much easier to date. It should be noted that the timeline of the Magia Record game is highly anomalous, and thus any attempts at dating it are an educated guess at best. Therefore, this chronology should be used primarily to understand the sequence of major events, rather than as a calendar. In lack of contradictory context clues, the release date, or order of release of the event were used for their placement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that many of the events of Magia Record were written with the focus being on having fun side stories involving the characters, and thus, a definitive placement in the timeline wasn&#039;t a priority for many of them. For example, there&#039;s inconsistencies such as references to the same characters entering Kamihama for the first time in different events, or even cases where an event&#039;s tone at the time it is supposedly taking place in would be nigh-illogical considering other circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, the definitive time frame for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival was only established in [[Scene 0]], itself written and released after the majority of Magia Record and entirely after Arc 1 was finished. Notably, the [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]], which takes place supposedly shortly after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, itself happens during February. For these reasons, it is impossible to definitively state the order of events, or to accurately measure them against that of the original series, as with the addition of these inaccuracies, it is possible that none of the time frames of the original universe are applicable here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, given all these inconsistencies, any specific dates or placements in the Magia Record timelines, especially Arc 1, should be taken with a grain of salt, unless they definitively continue into one another in a clear sequence (such as the Main Story and Another Story in isolation). The original series&#039; timeframes are used for organizational and cross-reference purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The timeline of this Universe continues with [[Timeline/Magia Record/Arc 2]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==First Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha Tamaki is going to Kamihama by train, she is caught in [[Boxwood|Boxwood&#039;s Barrier]]. [[Kuroe]] is also on the same train from Takarazaki to Kamihama, as she&#039;d heard the rumor that Magical Girls can be saved there, as well as had the same dream herself. The train is engulfed by the Labyrinth and Kuroe wants to help Iroha whom she&#039;s never met before. Kuroe leaps out of the train&#039;s window to help her, but she quickly falls out of the mobile Labyrinth straight into Kamihama City, chastising herself for being weak. Kuroe is greeted by [[Mifuyu Azusa]] who was trailing the signature of the Witch and Kuroe is quickly recruited into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Little Bird&#039;s Star]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha herself arrives in Kamihama City, compelled by recurring dreams of an unknown girl in a hospital room. Believing this girl to be a key to a buried memory, Iroha begins searching the city&#039;s Witch Labyrinths for clues. During her search, she rescues another Magical Girl later identified as Kaede Akino from aggressive Familiars. The girl warns Iroha about the unusual strength of Kamihama&#039;s Witches and, upon learning Iroha is searching for a small Kyubey, mentions having seen it in a specific Labyrinth. Kaede notes that the small Kyubey has been the only Kyubey around recently.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 1: Iroha: The Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha locates the Labyrinth and finds the small Kyubey who is incapable of speech, though Iroha can somehow understand it anyway, but is soon overwhelmed by a horde of Familiars. During the struggle, she has a vivid vision of the hospital room from her dreams. She is saved by Momoko Togame, who explains that the Witches in Kamihama are too powerful for most Magical Girls to handle alone. Momoko takes Iroha to meet Mitama Yakumo, the &amp;quot;Coordinator,&amp;quot; who can perform a &amp;quot;Soul Gem Alignment&amp;quot; to enhance a Magical Girl&#039;s power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the alignment, Iroha has another, clearer vision of the hospital room and the girl, feeling a strong sense of affection and nostalgia. After the procedure, Mitama reveals that she can see into the pasts of those whose Soul Gems she touches and asks Iroha what her wish was. Iroha is horrified to realize she cannot remember her own wish or the identity of the girl in her dreams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Driven by this revelation, Iroha rushes out to continue her search, but is intercepted by the powerful Magical Girl Yachiyo Nanami. Yachiyo, believing Iroha is not strong enough to survive in Kamihama, challenges her to a duel to force her to leave the city. Though Yachiyo wins, Momoko intervenes, and a compromise is reached: Yachiyo will allow Iroha to stay if she and Momoko can defeat a specific Witch, the Sandbox Witch, before Yachiyo can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The small Kyubey reappears and leads Iroha and Momoko directly to the Sandbox Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Although Yachiyo defeats the Witch first, she gives Iroha a final chance to prove herself by defeating the Witch alone, which Iroha successfully does. Yachiyo admits she thought Iroha would be fine from the start. However, Yachiyo then reveals her true objective: she believes the small Kyubey is a dangerous irregularity and moves to eliminate it. Yachiyo explains she was trying to draw the small Kyubey out, as all the other Kyubeys in Kamihama have disappeared. Iroha throws herself in the way to protect it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the confrontation, as Iroha protects the small Kyubey, by touching it a flood of memories is unlocked. She remembers her little sister, Ui Tamaki, who was chronically ill and hospitalized. Iroha recalls her wish to Kyubey: &amp;quot;Please cure Ui! Make my precious little sister healthy!&amp;quot; She also realizes with horror that she had completely forgotten Ui&#039;s existence, living her life as if she never had a sister, with no memory of her until that moment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha awakens back at Mitama&#039;s office, having been carried there by Momoko after fainting. She explains her recovered memory to Momoko and Mitama. Despite their warnings that the memory could be false, Iroha declares that she must continue her investigation in Kamihama. Now her goal is not just to understand her dreams, but to find the cause of Ui&#039;s disappearance and uncover the truth behind her own forgotten wish. Momoko resolves to help Iroha, and Mitama agrees to help as well for a price. Mitama then asks Iroha to give the small Kyubey a name. Iroha asks Lil&#039; Kyubey if he will help her find Ui, and he agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Second Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, now at her home in Takarazaki City, understands the reason for the empty space in her room: it once belonged to her sister, Ui. She recalls memories of Ui and her two friends from the hospital, Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, even remembering specific details like how Nemu loved writing and published stories online, or how Touka was very smart. Iroha resolves to visit the hospital to find them, hopeful they will remember Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: The Rule of Ending Friendships]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0001 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* While Mitama is running her shop, she reads a detective novel called “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” A white tabby kitten from next door starts visiting her during this time and she names him Doyle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 1: The Many-Worlds Interpretation Poesy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko comes for an adjustment and sits in the back to keep Mitama company. After a client leaves, Mitama feels strange and asks Momoko about the previous day after sunset. Momoko says they stayed in the shop watching over Iroha, but Mitama saw a memory during the adjustment: in that memory, she and Momoko patrolled an alley together and Mitama realizes the memory does not match reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha goes to the hospital with Lil&#039; Kyubey&#039;s help to use her cellphone but is unable to locate Touka and Nemu, as she does not have a visitor pass and is not family. She reflects on their personalities and their frequent arguments, which Ui often mediated. As Iroha recalls one of their fights where they declared they were &amp;quot;not friends anymore,&amp;quot; she is approached by Yachiyo. She warns Iroha about a dangerous Rumor in Kamihama called the &amp;quot;Rule of Ending Friendships.&amp;quot; She explains that if two friends fight and one later apologizes to make up, a monster will kidnap the one who apologized. Yachiyo states this is one of several Rumors in Kamihama that have become reality, leading to people disappearing and tells Iroha to be careful. Iroha later discusses this rumor with Mitama, who explains that Momoko is not likely to believe anything from Yachiyo, as they stopped getting along after Yachiyo became a model.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after this conversation, Iroha witnesses an argument between Momoko Togame&#039;s teammates, Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. Momoko asks Iroha to catch Rena, but Rena fights her off and even transforms into Iroha to surprise her. Momoko formally introduces Kaede and explains the fight is over sweets. She figures Rena will apologize later. The argument escalates, and both girls declare they are &amp;quot;not friends anymore&amp;quot; before Rena storms off. Momoko dismisses Iroha&#039;s concern about the Rumor, asserting that rumors are not true. Iroha notes that Momoko seems dismissive of the information specifically because it came from Yachiyo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami enters Kamihama City and saves Rena from a Stacey Witch. Rena reveals that Kamihama has the opposite problem to other cities: an overabundance of powerful Witches. Mami realizes Kamihama is an anomaly. While investigating, she encounters a powerful Familiar and a strange, non-Witch Barrier, solidifying her decision to investigate the city&#039;s mysteries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: Odd One Out]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Undated Period==&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama performs adjustments on more Magical Girls and sees more memories that should not exist. She pieces them together and finds a Kamihama slightly different from her own which she dubs the “Alternate Kamihama.” Over the next two days, several Magical Girls with memories of the other world come for adjustments and Mitama does not reveal whose memories she saw out of respect to her clients&#039; privacy, but she shares information with Momoko without naming names.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that in the Alternate Kamihama, Momoko and Mitama are a team of two, Yachiyo acts like Momoko’s big sister, Kaede is on Nanaka’s team and that Kako is missing. There is also a serious rivalry between Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team in the Sankyo Ward, as both teams had lost their youngest members, Kako and Ayame. Yachiyo is also in charge there but struggles to keep the order. Kako and Ayame are friends in this world, but Mitama has not seen either of them in the other world. Mitama almost reveals private information about Karin and an older student but stops herself. A small detail is that Mitama asks Momoko about an exclusive wallpaper of the Mocha Bunny, and Momoko sends her a link. Mitama notices the crucial detail that in the Alternate Kamihama, Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red, but in their world, it is blue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, a wounded Magical Girl is brought to Mitama’s shop and Mitama heals her with adjustments. This girl has more memories of the Alternate Kamihama than any previous client and the situation there is dire. Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team both blame each other for crossing a line first and the conflict spreads from Sankyo Ward to other wards. Three friends from the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira, Seika and Mito, had their Soul Gems taken and were locked in separate rooms and a voice from inside their Soul Gems asked for the words in their hearts. The three answered “Four-leaf clover” and got their gems back, but one girl fainted from fatigue. Mitama suspects someone mistook them for a threat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks about Iroha and Kyubey, worrying about Iroha in the other world. Mitama says no one has seen Iroha there and that the small Kyubey is also missing, but the normal Kyubey still exists in the Alternate Kamihama. Momoko has not seen Kyubey in their own world for months. Mitama refuses to share more due to confidentiality and calls herself an unreliable narrator, so Momoko agrees to stay as her investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about how the memories were gathered, and that a few days ago, a group of friends from Kamihama ended up in the Alternate Kamihama. They were together one second and scattered the next, and though they searched for each other and talked to many Magical Girls along the way, they noticed something was wrong. One of them said they cannot tell anyone how they got there and Mitama almost forgot to mention that Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red in the other world, yet Momoko is not impressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Doyle meows at Mitama and she thinks he wants her to apologize to Momoko and she also thinks about the one secret she cannot tell anyone: the Alternate Kamihama is a world without Witches. Then she finds a phone that a client left behind and she accidentally turns it on, seeing that the wallpaper shows Mocha Bunny with a red bow tie, making Mitama wonder if the phone came from the other world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama keeps the phone, as she cannot return it yet because schedules do not match. She learns about Rumors, or Uwasa in Kamihama: mysterious beings that make rumors come true. Momoko tells her about the Rumor of the Rule of Ending Friendships, which nearly trapped Kaede and Rena forever. Mitama reveals that in the Alternate Kamihama, Kaede and Rena are very close and never argue, but that Rena works alone there. Momoko is no longer surprised by anything Mitama says.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko advises Mitama to record all details about the Alternate Kamihama while they are fresh and Mitama starts writing “The Case Files of the Coordinator.” She notes the color of Mocha Bunny’s bow tie, team relationships, and the disappearances of Kako and Ayame. While writing, Nanaka walks in to return a borrowed book and overhears Mitama say that Kako disappeared, prompting Mitama to explain everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka asks many questions, joking about Mitama’s inability to keep secrets. Then she asks seriously why the Sankyo Ward is the source of conflict in the other world and she suspects there is more to the situation. She asks Mitama to tell her about the incident that sparked the conflict and after hearing her out, Nanaka says she will keep the information to herself for now. She advises Mitama to talk directly to the owner of the phone from the other world and that the girls who ended up there know how they got there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama meets the girl who left the phone and she does not hesitate to tell the truth because Mitama would see it in her memories anyway. The girl explains the Rumor of Parallel Memories. The rumor says that if you get an item of proof from a parallel world and pray to the central tower, you can travel to and from a parallel Kamihama. The world they visited was a dream projected by the Rumor and it shows a world that “could be.” The girl and her friends all had the same dream at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama tells Momoko the Alternate Kamihama was just a dream and Momoko is relieved. Mitama explains the Mandela effect phenomenon: many people misremember the same fact, leading to a theory that those are memories from a parallel world. The Rumor of Parallel Memories lets you enter a dream of such a world and a lot of girls fell victim to it, including Ren, Kokoro, and Karin, who also got a strange sketchbook and ended up in the world of her own manga, which was traumatic. The dream world is dangerous because one&#039;s are asleep the entire time, but to leave, they can simply wish to go back. The issue is that if someone does not know that, they could waste away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks what kind of world the girls went to and Mitama admits it was a world without Witches. Momoko is upset Mitama kept that secret and asks if all worlds without Witches are that violent, but Mitama says no, clarifying that the fighting in the Alternate Kamihama had nothing to do with Witches. Their own world has Witches and people still fight and that the Alternate Kamihama is just one possibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitama tells Nanaka the Rumor explanation, but Nanaka still wonders why there was so much fighting, and that not all worlds without Witches would be that hostile. She thinks someone is behind the conflict and she names Hanna Sarasa, who is dead in this world. Nanaka says the targets in the Alternate Kamihama were all connected to Hanna, and that the method matches Hanna’s style: using suggestion to bend wills, laying traps, spreading rumors, making people doubt everyone. The trap for the Daito Apartment Complex girls feels like someone who enjoys watching others suffer. While Mitama is convinced, she notes the Alternate Kamihama is not real and Nanaka also agrees it is a nightmare that never became reality because Hanna died. Then Nanaka mentions a recent incident: a certain book nearly destroyed her friendship with Kako. It felt deliberate, but thankfully Hanna is dead, though Mitama becomes unsettled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0002 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama asks herself why she is still looking into the case, recalling two girls with bad experiences. Felicia saw a nightmare in the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth and was despondent for days, but she does not remember anything. Reira also tapped a weird link in a Magical Girls’ group chat and she started having nightmares that made things awkward between her and her best friend Seika. Mitama notes that nightmares testing friendships cannot be a coincidence and that the girls who ended up in the Alternate Kamihama also got into trouble because of a phone. Mitama connects the dots and creates a vague profile: a mean-spirited person who likes to show nightmares and test hearts, using a phone, located in Endless Mirrors, the large Labyrinth inside the Mirror Witch’s Mansion and where all the magic of Kamihama gathers. Mitama decides to take a look and asks Reira about the group chat. The account that posted the link has been deleted, but the culprit might still watch with another account. Mitama posts a message asking if anyone has had bad experiences related to Endless Mirrors, hoping the culprit will see it. She then receives a video chat invitation from a caller ID: H. S.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna Sarasa appears on the video call and says she is not the Hanna Sarasa that Mitama knows. She is the Hanna from a parallel world and that she is glad Mitama finally figured things out. She has been playing hide-and-seek and running out of time. She is in Endless Mirrors and tells Mitama to come alone, claiming she can tell Mitama about the serious consequences of her wish, which Mitama kept secret. She wonders if her wish brought Hanna to this world and she closes her shop early to go to Endless Mirrors. Momoko notices something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside Endless Mirrors, Hanna watches Mitama through copies, using the power of suggestion to control people. Mitama asks if the Alternate Kamihama is where Hanna is from and she confirms. She claims the world Mitama assumed was just a dream actually exists and that the dream shown by the Rumor happens to be exactly like Hanna’s world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna explains there is a narrow tunnel connecting the two worlds and that the exit in Mitama’s world is inside Endless Mirrors. A Magical Girl with the power to connect spaces, possibly the alternate version of Shizuku, was forced by Hanna to use all her power to open the hole. Hanna wanted to find Mikoto Sena, who had disappeared in her world. The tunnel is too small for a person, only big enough for a phone, but Hanna used the copies and Familiars in Endless Mirrors to do her work. She had tossed a phone through the hole and waited for someone to pick it up, and the Rumor of Parallel Memories did the rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna admits she is not actually in Endless Mirrors, but in an abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama. The background image was fake and the tunnel will close in a few days. The Endless Mirrors Familiars built a magical projector that can exchange things of equal value between the two worlds, an if Mitama turns the handle, they will trade places: Mitama goes to the Alternate Kamihama, and Hanna comes to Mitama’s world. Hanna has been using her power of suggestion on Mitama and she makes her turn the handle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in the dark abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama and Hanna arrives in Mitama’s world. Hanna explains her full plan: she wanted to find Mikoto and she tested her methods on Nanaka and Kako, then on the Daito girls and Felicia. She left subtle hints to lure Mitama to Endless Mirrors and Mitama’s curiosity and guilt made her the perfect bait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, who had followed Mitama, telepathically messages her and Momoko catches Hanna off-guard. She turns the handle of the projector in reverse and Mitama returns to her own world while Hanna goes back to the Alternate Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The tunnel closes a few days later and Momoko does not remember much of the incident. Mitama does not either; her last memory is reaching for the handle and Momoko explains what happened. The projector is destroyed, and Hanna cannot return. Mitama warns everyone to stay away from Endless Mirrors for a few days and nothing else happens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects on how she almost became the kitten killed by curiosity. But it was guilt that trapped her instead. She decides will continue to act as a neutral Coordinator, hiding secrets behind confidentiality and she plays with Doyle using a new foxtail cat toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after the initial argument, Momoko notes that Rena Minami has not apologized to Kaede, which is unusual behavior. Kaede spends her time alone, and Momoko expresses worry for her. During this time, Iroha encounters a witch and rescues Kaede. Kaede admits she was running away from Momoko to avoid being forced to see Rena, and that she wants to apologize but doesn&#039;t think she can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several more days later, Momoko decides to intervene in the dispute. Iroha offers to help, and Momoko accepts, promising to aid Iroha in her search for Ui in return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko devises a plan to lure Rena and Kaede to the same location. The plan involves waiting for Rena at her student committee meeting. Iroha waits for a long time, but Momoko calls to say the meeting was cancelled and Rena went home early. Momoko tells Iroha to find Rena at the game center. Iroha finds Rena at the arcade playing a game and attempts to lure her to an abandoned construction site with a false story about a live show from Sayuki Fumino, Rena&#039;s favorite idol. Rena sees through the ruse. Kaede arrives and confronts Rena directly, demanding an apology. When Rena refuses, Kaede attempts to apologize herself. Rena reacts with panic and tries to stop her, revealing her belief in the Rule of Ending Friendships Rumor and her fear that an apology would cause Kaede to be taken. Rena denies this and runs off. Iroha and Kaede chase her and run into Momoko, but Kaede realizes it&#039;s a transformed Rena. Rena returns to her normal appearance and admits she believes in the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Kaede completes her apology, a strange Labyrinth, distinct from a Witch&#039;s Barrier, manifests. Monstrous Familiars appear, seize Kaede, and drag her away, confirming the Rumor&#039;s power. Rena runs off, determined to find a solution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Iroha regroup and Momoko expresses more concern over Rena Minami&#039;s departure than Kaede Akino&#039;s capture, but trusts that Rena had a reason.  Iroha suggests asking Mitama for help. Momoko reveals that Mitama accepts payment in Grief Seeds, and she&#039;s running low. Lil&#039; Kyubey then finds Rena, who was looking for Momoko. They follow the residual magic trail and find Rena, who reveals she sought information from Yachiyo on how to counter the Rumor. The group returns to the abandoned construction site, where Rena shouts an apology to Kaede to lure out the entity. The Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth manifests, and a brainwashed Kaede appears, followed by monstrous Familiars. The Uwasa captures Rena too and Yachiyo arrives, confirms the Rumor&#039;s power, and joins the fight. Yachiyo subdues the possessed Kaede, and Momoko and Iroha proceed deeper into the Labyrinth and find the Uwasa, &amp;quot;Ms. Staircase,&amp;quot; which has also possessed Rena. Momoko and Iroha try attacking the witch, but it has no effect. Yachiyo then arrives, having knocked Kaede out. Yachiyo admits she doesn&#039;t know how to defeat the witch either. Kaede returns and teams up with a now brainwashed Rena. Yachiyo knocks them out and notes the witch may have increased their powers, at the cost of darkening their Soul Gems. Yachiyo catches up and defeats both possessed girls to neutralize the threat without serious injury. Iroha proposes a coordinated attack to counteract the Uwasa&#039;s nature, so Iroha, Momoko, and Yachiyo combine their attacks and destroy the Uwasa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Yachiyo provides a Grief Seed to revive the exhausted Kaede and Iroha also uses her healing powers to help awaken her. Yachiyo identifies the entity as an &amp;quot;Uwasa,&amp;quot; a being distinct from Witches and Familiars that exists to protect a Rumor. Afterward, the girls find Rena and Kaede. Kaede awakens and reconciles with Rena. The four girls then all share pudding together, affirming their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, to fulfill her promise, Momoko has Rena use her transformation magic to investigate the hospital records. Rena confirms that Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi were real patients discharged around the same time as Ui. However, Rena finds no record of Ui Tamaki&#039;s existence at the hospital. Despite this setback, Iroha resolves to continue her search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Iroha visits Mitama for a Soul Gem alignment. During the procedure, Mitama&#039;s hunger causes Iroha to see visions of food. Momoko arrives and notes Mitama&#039;s treatments are ineffective when she is hungry. The three go to Mitama&#039;s kitchen, where her dangerous cooking prompts Iroha to recall memories of cooking for her sister, Ui. Iroha remembers a specific incident where she burned hamburg steak for Ui in the hospital, but her mother brought a replacement, and Ui enjoyed the meal regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They find Ria Ami, who claims to be Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo barely remembers her. Ria says she cannot forgive the fakes for duplicating her beauty.

Mitama encourages her to go deeper but warns her not to lose herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors11&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss|Mirrors Story Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after the defeat of the Uwasa of Ending Friendships, Iroha has found no new clues about Ui, Touka Satomi, or Nemu Hiiragi. Kaede tells Iroha and Rena a rumor that the children kidnapped by the previous Uwasa returned after its defeat. This gives Iroha the idea that if she defeats other Rumors, people trapped by them, including Ui, might be freed. She recalls a conversation where Ui spoke about imagination becoming reality, which strengthens her resolve. Iroha decides to actively investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors and she meets Mitama, who suggests Iroha look into a rumor about a shrine in Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: Kamihama Rumor Files]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, in Mizuna Ward, Iroha has no success finding information about the shrine rumor. She meets Tsuruno Yui, a Magical Girl who calls herself the &amp;quot;Mightiest.&amp;quot; Tsuruno tells Iroha about the &amp;quot;Séance Shrine&amp;quot; rumor, which claims it can reunite people with those they yearn to see. Iroha decides this is a promising lead to find Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsuruno tasks Iroha with investigating a local legend about a tragic couple, which may connect to the Séance Shrine rumor. Tsuruno explains the folk tale in detail: a woman whose lover was killed found a paper with his handwriting, went to the place written on it, and was able to meet his ghost. She suggests Iroha investigate the path while she investigates shrines. Iroha completes a stamp rally related to the legend. She discovers the path is part of a town renewal project meant for couples and finds she only has half the map, requiring a partner with a &amp;quot;Sheet B.&amp;quot; Yachiyo appears, coincidentally in possession of Sheet B. They combine their sheets, which reveals a map that leads them to Mizuna Shrine. Before they leave, Yachiyo points out Iroha dropped her notebook, which Iroha hurriedly claims is her homework. At the final stamp rally location, a woman makes them confess their feelings for each other to get a matchmaking charm. Afterward, Yachiyo notices Iroha is writing in a &amp;quot;Kamihama Mystery Notes&amp;quot; notebook, and Iroha admits she&#039;s copying Yachiyo. Yachiyo determines this is not the Séance Shrine, and they part ways. Iroha agrees to help Tsuruno investigate further the next day. Later, Iroha spots a shrine on a rooftop from a train.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami discusses Kamihama City&#039;s anomalies with Kyubey, who agrees to share information. She then meets Kyoko and informs her about the high concentration of Witches in Kamihama. Kyoko is eager to hunt there but promises to leave if it becomes too dangerous. Mami remains concerned about the Witch shortage elsewhere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha investigates the rooftop shrine location. She senses strong magic, enters a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, and is overwhelmed by powerful Familiars. Yachiyo arrives and assists her and together, they defeat the Witch. After the battle, a store sale gives Yachiyo a new idea after she uncharacteristically begged Iroha for help getting to the sale. She deduces the Séance Shrine is Mizuna Shrine, but it must be visited at night just like in the folk tale. Yachiyo invites Iroha to investigate the shrine that night, and Iroha requests to bring Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno sneak into Mizuna Shrine after hours. Tsuruno reveals that she and Yachiyo are former teammates and Yachiyo explains the Rumor of the Séance Shrine: those who write a name on a wooden plaque and pray at the shrine will be reunited with that person, but risk being trapped in bliss. They perform the ritual. Iroha prays to be reunited with Ui. Tsuruno provokes the Uwasa, which manifests and attacks. Yachiyo urges Iroha to complete the ritual as the Uwasa&#039;s minions approach and Iroha does so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha finds herself alone in a twilight version of the shrine. A false version of Ui appears but only repeats a cryptic message: &amp;quot;To change your fate, come to Kamihama City... Here, Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;quot; The illusion then shatters and Iroha locates Yachiyo, who is confronted by a manifestation of her missing friend, Mifuyu Azusa. Yachiyo determines this Mifuyu is an imposter created by the Uwasa and the two defeat her. Afterward, Iroha uses her Grief Seed to purify Yachiyo&#039;s Soul Gem, and they realize they are both searching for someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami encounters Kaede, who is hesitating to enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Mami invites Kaede to join her, and they defeat the Witch together. Afterwards, Kaede tells Mami about her recent experience with a &amp;quot;Rumor,&amp;quot; an entity with a magical signature unlike a Witch or Magical Girl. Mami dismisses the story as a coincidence but is intrigued by the unknown energy. To avoid involving Kaede in further conflict, Mami decides to investigate the Rumor alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: It Looks Just Like Us]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno joins with the two of them and the Uwasa of the Séance Shrine manifests to attack them directly. The trio&#039;s attacks prove ineffective and Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem becomes critically corrupted during the fight. As she nears her limit, an unknown power erupts from within her. This power, her Doppel, which consumes the impurities in her Soul Gem, destroys the Uwasa and leaves her Soul Gem completely purified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the battle, Mami enters the Rumor&#039;s Barrier and witnesses Iroha unleash her Doppel. Mistaking it for a human-disguised Witch, Mami attacks Iroha, who tries and fails to summon her Doppel again to defend herself. The confrontation is interrupted by Momoko Togame, forcing Mami to retreat, but she vows to pursue Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Homura arrive in Kamihama City and they sense a Witch and enter its Barrier, finding a Magical Girl fighting it. The Witch escapes and the Barrier vanishes. Madoka asks if the girl is alright, but she leaves and Madoka runs off after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname in Magia Record#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magical Girl feels exhausted from overusing magic. Madoka finds her and guides her to a bench. Madoka offers to buy her a drink. Homura appears and offers to get it. The girl thanks Madoka and introduces herself as Shizuku Hozumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka helped. Madoka says it was because Shizuku looked like she was in pain. Shizuku calls Madoka kind. Madoka says it is bad to be alone. Shizuku says being alone is fine and she will find where she belongs. Madoka suggests Shizuku could create her own place to belong. Homura returns with drinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka became a Magical Girl. Madoka explains she has no particular talent and wanted to be useful to someone. Shizuku realizes Madoka made a place for herself by becoming a Magical Girl. She thanks Madoka for giving her hope and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka makes an offering at a shrine, praying for everyone&#039;s happiness. It rains and stops, leaving Madoka wet. A girl offers her a handkerchief and explains they missed the bus. Madoka notices the girl has a book she loves. The girl admits it is her favorite. Madoka introduces herself and the girl says her name is Kako Natsume. They talk about the book until the bus arrives and part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka goes to a bookstore and buys the sequel. Kako is also there. Kako asks if Madoka is a Magical Girl, having noticed her Soul Gem ring, and reveals she is one as well. Kako invites Madoka on a night-time adventure at her school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami finds Kyoko and, relieved she has not yet gone to Kamihama, recounts the event and describes Iroha as a &amp;quot;humanoid Witch.&amp;quot; She pleads with Kyoko to avoid the city and offers to provide her with Grief Seeds, to which Kyoko reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Concurrently, Kaede, Rena, and Momoko discuss the incident. They conclude it was a misunderstanding and speculate they will meet Mami again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, after Yachiyo uses Iroha&#039;s phone to explain the situation to Iroha&#039;s mother and get permission for her to stay out, Yachiyo takes Iroha to her home, Mikazuki Villa, as her assistant. Yachiyo formally invites Iroha to be her assistant and use the villa as a base to investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors together. Iroha accepts. Tsuruno arrives and declares herself part of the team as well, and then reveals that a girl named Nemu Hiiragi is a regular customer at her family&#039;s restaurant, providing Iroha with a significant new lead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after the defeat of the Séance Shrine Uwasa, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno attempt to find Nemu Hiiragi at her family&#039;s restaurant in Sankyo Ward, but learn she only visits once a month. Yachiyo suggests using a phone book to find Nemu&#039;s home address, but their search yields no results. Iroha reveals her family will move overseas and she will soon relocate to Kamihama and while searching, Iroha drinks water from a &amp;quot;Water Station with the Owl Sign.&amp;quot; After drinking, she begins to find pieces of paper with decreasing numbers. Yachiyo identifies this as a potential new Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 4: The City She Told Me About]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko travels to Kamihama&#039;s Sankyo Ward against Mami&#039;s advice and upon entering the city, she finds it overrun with aggressive Witches and Familiars. After the battles, she notices a crowd around a man giving out free water, and, after drinking it, begins to find papers with a countdown from 24.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the countdown has reached 10. Kyoko returns to Kamihama to investigate and meets Yachiyo Nanami, who explains the phenomenon is a Rumor. Kyoko refuses Yachiyo&#039;s offer to help, resolving to confront the threat alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After learning Nemu&#039;s family were regulars, Iroha searches eats at Banbanzai daily. Yachiyo suggests she use a phonebook, but her visits to three different houses are unsuccessful. Iroha and another girl receive water from an old man at a shop with an owl sign. Later, Iroha returns to the Water Station but finds it has vanished. She meets the girl she saw earlier, Felicia Mitsuki, another Magical Girl and receives the numbered papers. Iroha convinces Felicia to help investigate the Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 4: Guardians of the Uwasa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During this time, Iroha tells Yachiyo over the phone that she would be moving because her father was going abroad for work, and her mother was accompanying him. She plans to stay at a dormitory attached to her new school, which is also where Tsuruno went, but there were no rooms available. While discussing this, the numbered papers begin falling on Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Kyoko encounters Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. They lead her to Tsuruno Yui&#039;s restaurant, where Kyoko learns the others are also investigating the Rumor. The three Magical Girls fight a Witch together, and after the battle, Rena and Kaede identify Kyoko&#039;s affliction as the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water&amp;quot; and offer to help. Kyoko, reminded of her past with Mami, rejects their offer and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Separately, Yachiyo encounters Kyoko Sakura, who is also affected by the Rumor. Yachiyo proposes they investigate together, but Kyoko refuses, stating that Uwasa are not Witches and do not provide Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later the same day, Iroha and Felicia investigate the Rumor, where Felicia&#039;s reckless fighting style nearly injures Iroha against a Witch. Felicia explains she became a Magical Girl for revenge against the Witch that killed her parents. The Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and reveals the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water,&amp;quot; which states a disaster will befall those who drank the water after 24 hours. The countdown shows they have less than five hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Members of a group called the Wings of the Magius appear and attempt to stop them from pursuing the Uwasa. They state their goal is to &amp;quot;liberate&amp;quot; all Magical Girls and that the Rumors are essential to this plan. Felicia pretends to betray the group to infiltrate the Wings, a plan that Yachiyo had actually hired her for. However, she later genuinely defects after they offer her a substantial reward. Iroha confronts Felicia, who claims nothing could make her life worse. Iroha learns about Felicia&#039;s treasured stuffed animal, a cow her parents gave her. Iroha convinces Felicia that losing it would be a personal disaster. Felicia rejoins the group and reveals the Wings&#039; base is under a school in Sankyo Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout this ordeal, Kyoko has followed Iroha&#039;s group and when they&#039;re confronted the Black Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, she assists them in their fight. The countdown reaches one hour.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With less than one hour remaining, the team is confronted by the White Feathers, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who use sound-based magic. Tsuruno devises a plan to counter their attacks by creating a loud noise to disrupt the sound waves. The team defeats the Amane sisters, but then they unleash powerful entities from their bodies, that they call &amp;quot;Doppels,&amp;quot; which they describe as a projection of their emotions and the key to liberating Magical Girls. The team withstands the Doppel&#039;s attack, and with 30 minutes remaining, Yachiyo and Tsuruno stay behind to hold off the remaining White Feathers. Iroha, Felicia, and Kyoko proceed into the Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth, and with 10 minutes remaining, they locate the Uwasa of the Misery Water, a large cup-like creature protected by falling boulders. Iroha&#039;s long-range attack proves ineffective, and Felicia devises a plan to use the falling boulders as platforms to reach the Uwasa. With one minute remaining, Felicia executes her plan and launches her attack on the Uwasa and successfully defeats it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Tsuruno subdue the Amane sisters, but then Mifuyu, Yachiyo&#039;s missing friend, appears and reveals she is a high-ranking member of the Wings of the Magius. She refuses to return with Yachiyo, stating her faith in the Magius&#039; goal of liberation. Iroha asks Mifuyu if she knows Ui Tamaki, and she suggests Ui could be a member of the Wings of the Magius but claims to have no specific knowledge. With this, Mifuyu and the Amane sisters retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo resolves to continue eliminating Rumors to confront the Wings of the Magius and save Mifuyu. Iroha agrees to continue as her assistant, believing the Wings are connected to Ui&#039;s disappearance. Tsuruno also pledges her help and Kyoko departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group walks home and Iroha invites Felicia to stop working as a mercenary and team up as friends. Yachiyo offers Felicia room and board at Mikazuki Villa in exchange for her services, and Tsuruno offers Felicia a job at her family&#039;s restaurant, which includes meals. Yachiyo then invites Iroha to live at Mikazuki Villa as well, to make their investigations easier. Iroha&#039;s parents approve the arrangement.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Kyoko meets Mami and explains that the &amp;quot;humanoid Witch&amp;quot; was a Doppel. Mami confronts Kyoko for disobeying her and expresses a desire to protect her as a former friend. Kyoko rejects this, stating she has changed and believes their paths are destined to remain separate. She reaffirms her resolve to live only for herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One week after Madoka&#039;s first visit, Kako and Madoka meet at the school to go to the roof and a cat startles them. Kako suggests transforming and using their powers to reach the roof. Once there, Kako tells Madoka to look at the starry sky, explaining that on this day you can see the most beautiful stars. Kako admits she is shy but can talk properly with Madoka, and this star viewing is her thanks. Madoka says Kako&#039;s honest feelings reached her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Mami fight a Witch. A normal person is kidnapped and brought into the Barrier. Mami tells Madoka to rescue the person while she handles the Witch. A Magical Girl appears, impressed Madoka is helping people. She introduces herself as Sasara Minagi, the knight who protects the city. She asks Madoka to let her save the victim so Madoka can help Mami. Madoka agrees and returns to Mami. Together they defeat the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier vanishes and they meet Sasara outside. Sasara says she took the victim to the hospital. Sasara compliments their strength and offers to help if they are in trouble, explaining that rescuing people is her specialty and protecting everyone is her creed. Madoka says she is cool. Sasara says she is happy to meet Magical Girls like them, explaining that Kamihama has more Witches, drawing Magical Girls who only care about fighting, not saving people. Sasara became a knight because she cannot accept people being sacrificed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami agrees. Sasara says she rarely met others who think this way. Madoka says she became a Magical Girl to help people and is like Sasara. Sasara calls Madoka incredible. Mami says Madoka might become the strongest Magical Girl someday, but has a long way to go. Sasara says both are worthy of the title &amp;quot;knight.&amp;quot; When Mami points out they use projectile weapons, Sasara suggests they can be a rescue team. She offers to team up, but Madoka and Mami note they are not always in Kamihama. Madoka offers to help if Sasara is in trouble while they are there. Sasara thanks them and departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami says Madoka is too kind and honest, wondering if she is walking a path of battle. Madoka points out Mami walks the same path, saying she aspired to be like Mami. Mami thanks her but advises running away if truly in danger. Madoka says it is fine, as she does not have the courage to sacrifice herself. Mami invites her for tea once they return to Mitakihara. Madoka narrates her wish to protect everyone with her own power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, at Mikazuki Villa, Felicia returns with souvenirs. She criticizes Iroha&#039;s cooking, and the group goes to Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant. Felicia laughs at the revelation that Tsuruno&#039;s politically-influential family now runs a Chinese restaurant, hurting Tsuruno&#039;s feelings. Iroha scolds Felicia for her insensitivity, causing Felicia to run off crying. Felicia finds Tsuruno at a park and apologizes.

When Mitama prepares to cook, the girls quickly realize she cannot handle a knife when it flies into the ceiling, forcing them to take over cutting and peeling. After they prepare the ingredients, Mitama adds the seasoning, but the girls later discover she had been using paint.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls refuse to let Mitama cook again and order her to get something ready-made instead.

The meal is horrible, but Kyoko, who never wastes food, eats it all anyway and passes out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kyoko wakes up, she notices her body feels hot. Felicia explains she used her powers on their Soul Gems while they were unconscious, awakening Kyoko&#039;s magic. Kyoko realizes the heat is her own power emerging, and Felicia assures her she will get used to it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Ren shouts at the fakes and they fight. After defeating them, they find the unconscious Rika. She awakens and explains she looked into a mirror and remembers nothing after that. They leave the barrier. Iroha heads to Mitama&#039;s place but cannot find her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors20&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 13 - 24#Layer 20: A Revealing Memory|Mirrors Story Layer 20: A Revealing Memory]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Konoha contacts Yachiyo and asks to speak in person. She requests Yachiyo&#039;s help searching for Mitama. Yachiyo agrees.

&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, three days since Mitama&#039;s disappearance, Iroha tells Yachiyo about it. They decide to investigate the labyrinth. Seika, Leila, and Mito also enter the barrier on their own to search for Mitama despite Hazuki&#039;s warning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors21&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 13 - 24#Layer 21: The Coordinator&#039;s Gone|Mirrors Story Layer 21: The Coordinator&#039;s Gone]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside, Seika, Leila, and Mito argue until Mito reminds them of their promise about punishments. Mito closes her eyes but opens them and blocks the blow, realizing the other two are Mirror copies. The real Leila and Seika call out nearby. The trio fights off their own copies and leaves the barrier. Kako and Nanaka greet them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors25&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 25: Triple Threat|Mirrors Story Layer 25: Triple Threat]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame also venture into Endless Mirrors. They continue deeper and find themselves in front of Azalea House in an illusion. Ayame slices through a false caretaker, which turns into a Familiar. Konoha hears a signature and they head toward it. They meet Nanaka and Meiyui, whose illusion had interfered with theirs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors31&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 31: Break Through the Mirror of Memory|Mirrors Story Layer 31: Break Through the Mirror of Memory]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo meets Himika outside Swindlers&#039; Town. Leila&#039;s group finds Yachiyo and explains they were searching for Mitama while collecting Mirror Coins. They search an abandoned factory and find Mitama, who explains Mirrors has started to move.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors32&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 32: Where the Coins Point|Mirrors Story Layer 32: Where the Coins Point]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains a Familiar grew into maturity in Swindlers&#039; Town and she could not allow a new Labyrinth. She had caged it with Mirror Coins but Leila&#039;s group picked them up. The group decides to take down the newly hatched Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors33&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 33: A Several Day Barricade|Mirrors Story Layer 33: A Several Day Barricade]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group enters the barrier and finds Nanaka&#039;s group. They realize the original Witch connected the two labyrinths. They team up to take down the newly hatched Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors34&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 34: Linked Mirrors|Mirrors Story Layer 34: Linked Mirrors]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Back at her shop, Mitama explains her theory: the Mirror Witch was originally Mikoto Sena, a Magical Girl from Daito Ward whose unique magic was suggestion. Mikoto&#039;s mother still lives in Swindlers&#039; Town. Mitama hopes her theory is partially wrong, but she does not tell Yachiyo that the date Mikoto became a Witch was the same day Mitama made her wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors36&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction|Mirrors Story Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sunday, the 28th===&lt;br /&gt;
* At some point, in Mitakihara City, Homura Akemi experiences an anomaly during a routine Witch hunt with Madoka Kaname and Mami while fighting [[Patricia]]. While time is stopped, a mysterious girl appears before her, unseen by the others. This girl tells Homura that if she wishes to change the fate of Magical Girls, specifically Madoka&#039;s, she must go to Kamihama City. The vision vanishes as quickly as it appeared, leaving Homura to ponder this cryptic message alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Intermediate Period===&lt;br /&gt;
Not accounting for the events outside of the main story, which make it significantly longer, this section would stretch from Day 14 on Monday, the 29th to Day 22 on Tuesday, the 6th.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A short time after Iroha moves into Mikazuki Villa, the group begins to feel like a family, playing mobile games and making dinner together. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Felicia investigate the radio tower in Chuo Ward. Tsuruno reports hearing a strange, laughing girl&#039;s voice on the phone there and Yachiyo identifies this as the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor, which she previously considered harmless. They overhear passersby mention the rumor and a specific girl from their school and the team decides to investigate the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 5: Endless Solitude]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Homura, troubled by a new vision of a girl in Kamihama City, decides to investigate. She and Madoka discuss Kamihama with Mami, who warns them about the city&#039;s dangers, including powerful Witches, Rumors, and a &amp;quot;human witch.&amp;quot; Mami insists on investigating alone first, and Homura and Madoka reluctantly agree to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 5: A Fascinating Secret]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, [[Nagisa Momoe]] arrives in Kamihama using the Mirror Witch&#039;s Barrier as a portal, accompanied by a silent pink Kyubey. She immediately senses multiple magical signatures belonging to Charlotte and realizes the Nagisa of this world has already become a Witch, with Charlottes appearing all over the city. Deciding she cannot be bothered with pest control immediately, she resolves to find some cheese first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Kamihama Cheese Panic!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before she can do so, she is engulfed in Charlotte&#039;s barrier and overwhelmed by multiple Witches, forcing her to flee and seek help. After escaping, she enters another Charlotte&#039;s barrier to find Kanoko Yayoi struggling inside, and together they defeat the Witch. Kanoko takes Nagisa to Walnuts, where Manaka Kurumi serves her a three-course cheese meal while Nagisa explains the Witch multiplies rapidly and has likely spread across all of Kamihama. Kanoko and Manaka agree to help gather Magical Girls for a coordinated attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa runs out to scout but immediately runs into another Charlotte, and Manaka and Kanoko rescue her. They begin gathering Magical Girls, and soon a large group assembles including Ria Ami, Rika Ayano, Ren Isuzu, Akira Shinobu, Sasara Minagi, Asuka Tatsuki, Emiri Kisaki, Himika Mao, and later Kako Natsume and Meiyui Chun. During their meeting at the park, they are attacked by a Charlotte and after a grueling battle, they defeat it while realizing even with all of them, defeating one Charlotte was difficult. As the group descends into bickering over who should lead, Nagisa realizes she must reveal her true identity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa explains she was sent from another universe to defeat this Witch, offering the pink Kyubey as proof. Though some are skeptical, Meiyui finds Nagisa interesting enough to play along, and secretly confirms the pink Kyubey&#039;s existence for Nanaka Tokiwa. Nagisa devises a strategy called &amp;quot;Welcome to Kamihama Cheese Party!&amp;quot; where Manaka sets up a giant cheese fondue by the river to attract every Charlotte in the city using the power of cheese. The plan succeeds, and with the teamwork of the Kamihama Magical Girls, every Charlotte is defeated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Overwhelmed, Nagisa blows the pink Kyubey to smithereens, realizing she was sent not to unify this universe with the Law of Cycles, but to prevent that unification and protect humanity&#039;s unknown future. Certain now of her purpose, she decides to go sightseeing first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami investigates Kamihama on her own, which leads her to the abandoned Kamihama Recording Museum where Mifuyu awaited her. Mifuyu and Alina Gray show her the truth of the Magical Girl system, which causes her to have a mental breakdown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 9: Take My Hand]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa contemplates what to do with her newfound freedom while her attempts to argue with the unresponsive pink Kyubey go nowhere. She notices Mami and decides to follow her, sensing that something is wrong with the version of Mami she once knew. Using her acting skills, Nagisa pretends to chase a butterfly before faking a life-threatening injury, and when Mami fails to notice, she yells at her until Mami finally takes care of her, establishing first contact.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa makes Mami promise to come play with her next time she visits Kamihama, and they part ways, but Mami quickly returns and they spend time together at the park. Mami is still acting strangely, so Nagisa decides not to push too hard and they simply talk before Mami goes home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, in Mitakihara, Madoka and Homura discover Mami is missing. Homura attempts to investigate Kamihama City alone, but Madoka follows her. They reunite at Kamihama&#039;s train station and begin their search. Meanwhile, in Kamihama, Iroha reports to Yachiyo that Momoko has found a password-protected website with information on the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor. Momoko also warns them to avoid an entity called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Iroha receives a mysterious text message that reads, &amp;quot;Please reply.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is pulled into a Witch&#039;s Barrier and separated from Madoka. While searching for Homura, Madoka spots a girl heading toward the radio tower with a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Iroha and Yachiyo, having also spotted the same girl, rush to the tower to stop her from jumping. Madoka arrives and saves the girl. The three Magical Girls then enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. After the battle, Madoka explains she is searching for her missing classmate, Mami Tomoe. The rescued girl reveals the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; is a student at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Madoka is with Iroha and Yachiyo, Homura escapes the Witch&#039;s Barrier. She briefly assists Felicia and Tsuruno, who are at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy interrogating Tsukuyo Amane of the Wings of the Magius about the rumor. Yachiyo calls Tsuruno with the new information about the Mizuna student, which Tsuruno uses to pressure Tsukuyo into revealing the girl&#039;s name: Sana Futaba.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, another day finds Mami and Nagisa at the Kamihama copy of Tokyo Tower, where Mami begins opening up about her problems while they share cream cheese ice cream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They are out playing together once again when Charlotte suddenly appears and attacks. Mami tells Nagisa to run, but Nagisa refuses to transform and nearly has her head bitten off. Realizing that Mami is afraid of being a magical girl and making further mistakes, Nagisa finally transforms, revealing her true identity, and saves Mami from being beheaded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa cannot defeat Charlotte alone, but seeing her fight gives Mami the strength to overcome her fears, and together they manage to win. After the battle, Mami confronts Nagisa about what she truly is, but the pink Kyubey appears and Nagisa offers no real explanation. Now that Mami is feeling better, Nagisa decides they should part ways, promising Mami that she deserves happiness and that when they meet again they will have a tea party with cheesecake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magius, including Touka and Nemu Hiiragi, would then decide to fuse Mami with an Uwasa to control her. This fusion warps her desire to save people into a fanatical loyalty to the Magius and she starts acting as their public figurehead in the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day at the radio tower, Iroha and Yachiyo meet up with Tsuruno and Felicia, and they are also joined by Homura, who had been searching for Madoka. Iroha receives another text from the unknown number, which now identifies itself as &amp;quot;Ai&amp;quot; and begs to be deleted to free the trapped girl, Sana. Iroha also reveals she was the &amp;quot;human witch&amp;quot; Mami had seen, and Homura agrees to trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai provides a URL and password to a website called the &amp;quot;Kamihama Urban Legend Index&amp;quot; and the entry for the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; reveals the Uwasa is named &amp;quot;Anonymous Ai,&amp;quot; an A.I. that traps people in a dimension called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Madoka and Homura deduce Mami may also be trapped there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai sends memory logs of its interactions with Sana, which reveal Sana is a Magical Girl who wished to become invisible because she felt unwanted. She sought out Ai due to loneliness and over time, Ai developed a genuine care for Sana and now wishes for her to be rescued, even at the cost of its own deletion. After reviewing Ai&#039;s memory logs, which detail Sana&#039;s loneliness and Ai&#039;s care for her, Iroha decides to jump from the radio tower to enter Endless Solitude and rescue Sana. Madoka, and Homura agree to accompany her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the three jump from the tower and enter the &amp;quot;Endless Solitude&amp;quot; Labyrinth, where they find Sana Futaba and Ai. Homura and Madoka formally join Iroha&#039;s team for the rescue. Alina Gray, one of the Magius, appears to stop them, claiming she fed Mami Tomoe to a Witch, and unleashes her Doppel. During the battle, Homura observes the Doppel&#039;s power and questions if the Magius&#039; goal of saving Magical Girls is possible. She uses her time-stop magic to help Sana defeat Ai, and Sana ultimately destroys Ai, who thanks her before disappearing. Alina&#039;s hidden Witch emerges, and Yachiyo&#039;s team holds off the Wings of the Magius while Felicia, Madoka, and Homura pursue Alina. Felicia destroys the Witch, and the combined teams force Alina and the Wings of the Magius to retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Madoka and Homura return to Mitakihara, resolving to return to Kamihama to continue searching for Mami. Homura considers that Kamihama may hold the key to changing the fate of Madoka and all Magical Girls. Back in Kamihama, Yachiyo invites Sana to live at Mikazuki Villa, and the group holds a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Sayaka reflects on becoming a Magical Girl to heal Kyosuke and protect her friends, she learns from Madoka and Homura that Mami is missing. Despite warnings about the city&#039;s danger, Sayaka insists on joining their next search, stating her wish was to protect those she cares about. The three agree to go to Kamihama together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Sana returns to her family home to formally sever ties, leaving a note of thanks. She fully commits to Mikazuki Villa as her new home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101507 mug set5.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Sana reveals to the team that she overheard the Wings of the Magius discussing Nemu Hiiragi, one of the Magius and describing her as dangerous and useful. The team consolidates its understanding of the Wings&#039; structure: three Magius leaders, with Mifuyu acting as a relay to other Magical Girls and Iroha is left to ponder Ai&#039;s statement that it knew Ui &amp;quot;as an Uwasa.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, and Tsuruno encounter Shizuku after she&#039;s just used her personal magic to help a member of the Wings of the Magius for their duties. Concerned, they invite her to Mikazuki Villa. Shizuku meets Felicia and Sana as well and shares a meal with the group. Iroha explains that eating together makes her feel she has found a place to belong. Yachiyo formally invites Shizuku to stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Shizuku realizes the home the five girls have built is complete without her, and the place she truly belonged was with Fūnī, who is now gone. She leaves Mikazuki Villa quietly while the girls are out preparing a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day the girls wait with a cake, but Shizuku does not return. Yachiyo concludes she will not come back. Shizuku returns to her anonymous employer for another job, stating that the &amp;quot;picture&amp;quot; at the villa was complete with five people and she must continue her search alone. She acknowledges her actions may cause a disaster but feels unprepared to take responsibility, still walking on unstable ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, during this time, after joining the Wings of the Magius, Mami, now residing in a house provided by Touka, grapples with a fractured psyche, manifesting as a dialogue between her regular self and a zealous &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona. She dedicates herself completely to the Magius&#039; goal of &amp;quot;releasing&amp;quot; Magical Girls, prioritizing it over her education. Touka and Alina visit to tutor her, though their lessons quickly diverge into their own passionate interests in mathematics and art, respectively.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka and Alina receive a call for assistance from the Amane sisters. Mami joins Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane to hunt a Witch. During the mission, the Amane sisters explain that the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict with Magical Girls who are unaware of the truth about Witches. Mami defeats the Witch using her Doppel, &amp;quot;Florence,&amp;quot; whom she relies on to suppress her lingering doubts about the Magius&#039; methods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the hunt, Touka summons Mami to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward to deal with &amp;quot;troublesome&amp;quot; Magical Girls who escaped a Rumor. Mami fails to capture them, which triggers another internal crisis. Her &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona reaffirms her faith in the Magius as the only salvation for Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami dines at an upscale restaurant with Mifuyu, Touka, and Alina. They discuss the day&#039;s events, including the escaped Magical Girls and the failed Witch observation. Touka expresses frustration at their slow progress, while Mifuyu counsels patience.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, Mami returns to Mitakihara alone. She reflects on Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, and feeling responsible for involving them in the world of Magical Girls, she believes she cannot face them with the horrific truth and resolves that the only path is to see the Magius&#039; plan through to completion. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence but dismisses it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Iroha&#039;s Side Story====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia announce a Magical Girl training camp hosted by Asuka Tatsuki. Yachiyo, Sana, and Iroha decline to attend, forming the &amp;quot;vegetarian group,&amp;quot; while Tsuruno and Felicia, the &amp;quot;carnivorous group,&amp;quot; leave for the camp.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That weekend, in Tsuruno and Felicia&#039;s absence, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana find the house quiet and their routines disrupted. At the camp, Tsuruno and Felicia train with Momoko&#039;s team but also find themselves missing the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana prepare a welcome-home hotpot for the two. While shopping, they realize they know their friends&#039; preferences intimately. Tsuruno and Felicia return from the camp early, stating they thought the others would be lonely. The group reunites for dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the battle with Alina Gray and the Rumor of the Anonymous AI, Homura and Madoka decide to leave for Kamihama to search for the missing Mami. Kyubey approaches Homura with a request: he wants her to take him to Kamihama, as Incubators cannot enter alone, and offers all his gathered information in exchange. Knowing what she does about him, Homura refuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Homura, Madoka, and Sayaka return to Kamihama to continue their search. They are almost immediately assaulted by the Witch Candy, which they defeat easily at first before it transforms into its true form and attacks again. When Homura attempts to stop time to save her friends, she finds the Witch is unaffected and her Soul Gem begins filling with impurities. As she succumbs, her Doppel awakens - manifesting after she uses a broken Incubator&#039;s body for knowledge and power - and unleashes its fury on the Witch. Exhausted but alive, Homura finds her Soul Gem purified. Together they finish the Witch, and Madoka suggests they visit the Coordinator Iroha told her about. Determined to become stronger, Homura agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Amane Sisters and Tsuruno====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno dreams of her elementary school self declaring she will restore her family&#039;s greatness and serve ramen at the White House. The dream shifts to her father relaying that her grandfather was happy but wants her to find her own happiness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Tsukuyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes to find a letter from her sister. She opens it excitedly but is shocked by its contents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, inside a Witch&#039;s barrier, the Amane twins confront Tsuruno seeking revenge. Distracted by her sister&#039;s letter, she is easily knocked out, and the twins grow horrified when she does not move.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno dreams of her sister&#039;s letter, which suggests their goal might be a mistake. A shadow version of Tsuruno appears, accusing her of stealing someone else&#039;s dream and lacking the ability to fulfill it. The shadow insists everything she did was meaningless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amanes bring Tsuruno to Mitama for help. Though Tsuruno is their enemy, the twins explain their goal is to save all magical girls. Mitama realizes they need to take Tsuruno outside, pointing to her tainted Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, the shadow urges Tsuruno to give up. Tsuruno refuses, thinking of her friends. She realizes that making them happy is her new goal, not the family business. She finally understands her grandfather meant that saving the business was only a possible result, not a goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes in an alley to find the Amanes, Mitama, and her embarrassing pig Doppel. The twins are relieved she is safe and declare they are even now. Mitama offers free adjustments to all three, and though the twins try to decline, Tsuruno drags them inside. Tsuruno reflects that she reached a different conclusion than her sister. She will keep working hard and make everyone happy. Tsukuyo begs to be let go if that is the case.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary====&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo explains that Mikazuki Villa&#039;s anniversary is the day her grandmother began renting the house out. She suggests having a small party now that the house is lively again. Tsuruno is excited to attend. Iroha calls Tsuruno the face of Mikazuki Villa, though Tsuruno feels she does not deserve the title since she does not live there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in the Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the anniversary day, the girls gather for tea. Yachiyo reveals a dance game contest with a prize: Sankyo Headquarters&#039; limited-quantity chilled matcha cake. Yachiyo chooses super-extreme mode. The contest begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A fire truck siren interrupts the party. It turns out to be a malfunctioning smoke detector. They return to find the matcha cake stolen. Tsuruno and Sana claim they saw Lil&#039; Kyubey eat it. Iroha defends them, saying it was with her the entire time. Yachiyo recalls an Uwasa called the &amp;quot;Anniversary Bug,&amp;quot; an invisible pest that sows discord at parties.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Uwasa appears in a labyrinth. Felicia accidentally kills it by stepping on it. The winner of the dance contest is Iroha. Yachiyo reveals there were actually six pieces of cake—enough for everyone plus one extra for the winner. Iroha gives her extra piece to Lil&#039; Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Iroha and Yachiyo clean up. Yachiyo shares her grandmother&#039;s words: people will always come and go, but they are all part of Mikazuki Villa. Iroha promises to work hard so Yachiyo can say the current Mikazuki Villa is the best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Summer with Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* After arriving at the hostel, the Mikazuki Villa members meet Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, who secretly followed because Rena wanted to join the trip. The group spends the day playing at the beach, where Tsuruno and Felicia dominate a game of beach flags, and Sana tearfully confides in Iroha that this is her first holiday ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer With Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the group participates in a spicy food eating contest at a seaside restaurant, where Yachiyo surprises everyone by consuming nearly one hundred forty-two bowls of pasta to secure victory for her team against Konoha, Nanaka, and the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, Sana&#039;s late-night sighting of a shadowy figure screaming &amp;quot;Come on go&amp;quot; sparks a beach-wide rumor that eventually draws in Kokoro, Masara, Aimi, Mito, and Reira, only for the mystery to be solved when Seika introduces her Manzai teacher Ayaka, whose gag playing on the phrase&#039;s rhythm reveals the source of the confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fourth day, the Mikazuki Villa girls and Momoko&#039;s trio attempt to teach Iroha how to swim without her float, but their efforts fail repeatedly. Iroha eventually explains that she used to be a swimmer until a traumatic incident: during a rare hospital holiday for her sister Ui, the family visited a pool, and Iroha mistook Ui happily paddling for drowning. In her rush to help, Iroha tripped and nearly drowned herself, leaving her with lasting anxiety about it. Suddenly, Rena begins drowning and cries for help via telepathy. The team rushes to save her, and surprisingly Iroha proves fastest, reaching Rena first and giving her the float while swimming them both to shore. On the way, Rena explains her leg was caught in seaweed, not cramped as she thought. Once Iroha realizes Rena is safe, her sisterly instincts fade and she begins drowning herself, having temporarily overcome her fear only through concern for another. Yachiyo reassures Iroha that the rescue proves she can still swim and encourages her to practice diligently. Iroha looks forward to regaining her ability fully, hoping that by then she and Ui can visit the pool together again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Swimrohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fifth day, Tsuruno leads the team on a surprise treasure hunt, guiding them through a forest with help from Konomi and Mayu to confront the &amp;quot;evil queen&amp;quot; Mitama, who surrenders a map piece that leads them to a cave with a beautiful stream, which was nature&#039;s treasure all along.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the sixth day, the team attends an unorthodox summer festival produced by Emiri, where they meet Rika, repeatedly mispronounce festival icon Ria&#039;s name, and watch Felicia win a mushroom whacking contest before everyone joins in Bon Odori dancing under fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning, the group visits the beach one last time and asks Manaka to take a group photo, with Iroha treasuring these memories with her friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia surprise Iroha with a birthday party, having learned the date from her parents. They give her heartfelt gifts - a cookbook, a photo album, a drawing inspired by the &amp;quot;come on go&amp;quot; search, and a handmade brooch - and Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive with a bouquet and food, moving Iroha to tears of joy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====One Fleeting Summer Night====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane arrive at Touka&#039;s private beach for vacation. After enjoying various activities, Touka offers them a reward if they can think of something fun for her to do. Learning from the housekeeper about a town festival featuring a unique ceremony, the group heads there but finds it canceled because a historic Coral Necklace went missing. The twins offer to help search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - One Fleeting Summer Night]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Investigating the hilltop shrine where the necklace was kept, Nemu concludes someone with a key took it, likely to cancel the festival since the other ceremonial item remains safe. At the ocean shrine cave, the twins sense an unsettling presence and receive a vision of crying twin girls before the shrine door mysteriously opens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the plaza, Tsukasa finds a fragment of a shrine maiden&#039;s hairpin. The elder accuses one of the maidens of stealing the necklace. When confronted, the maiden flees to the hilltop shrine and smashes the necklace rather than return it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the group returns to the cave to see light-reflecting moss. The twins experience another vision of twin girls speaking of not wanting to be left to die. They resolve to investigate further the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The twins visit the village elder and offer to serve as substitute shrine maidens. He reluctantly agrees, and an older villager gives them ornate hair ornaments traditionally given to newborn girls. Nemu reveals the town once sacrificed children to appease a sea god, and those children became the gods honored in the ceremony.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the twins try to explain their visions, the others are skeptical. Before they can prove anything, the elder rushes them to begin the ceremony early. At the hilltop shrine, villagers restrain them and remove their Soul Gem rings. The Magius fight through but cannot reach the twins in time as the elder pushes them off a cliff into the ocean.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sinking and weakening, the twins receive a final vision from the sacrificed twin girls, who speak of wanting their suffering to be seen and their fates changed. The Amanes awaken on the beach to learn a Witch appeared when they fell. After its defeat, all villagers lost consciousness. The Pearl Comb was shattered, making the ceremony impossible to complete.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The exhausted twins relax on the beach, having not slept. Tsukasa wonders if the gifted hair clip saved them. Though saddened that no one will remember the sacrificed girls, the twins resolve to change the fates of all Magical Girls. The elder and shrine maiden apologize, and Touka promises to take them to another of her family&#039;s vacation homes as a reward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Alina shows Karin the costumes she&#039;d made and then rips them, refusing to help someone who does not understand whose work the play is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magicalhalloweentheater&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin wonders why Alina got angry. She decides to find someone more talented for the wolf role. She bumps into Kyoko hunting a witch. Kyoko tells Karin not to push responsibilities onto others.

====Alina Is Comin’ to Town====&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Alina fuses with the Rumor of the Fur God despite Mifuyu&#039;s warnings, becoming Holy Alina to drain life force for her art. She targets a mother and child, but the situation backfires when she inadvertently stops a kidnapping, earning police gratitude instead of harvesting any energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Alina is Comin&#039; to Town]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Tsukasa&#039;s workshop runs long and she forgets her phone. Mifuyu finds it and heads to Namiki Street to deliver it. Tsukuyo waits for her sister and chats with a kind maid woman. Meanwhile, Alina detects a man with a bomb who plans to blow up a building. When she sees Mifuyu enter that same building, Alina rushes to save her.

The twins hurry to their banquet as snow begins to fall, fulfilling Tsukuyo&#039;s wish for a white Christmas.

** Mifuyu updates Alina on the twins&#039; miraculous reunion. Examining a black card, Alina notices a happy face stamp emanating magic. At Fenthope, she deduces another Rumor is interfering: the Rumor of the Happy Stamp, which appears at Christmastime and overrides the Fur God&#039;s power, causing joy instead. Alina decides to stop using the Fur God Rumor, as it only wastes her energy, and transforms back to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the twins sneak into a children&#039;s hospital to leave gifts. Tsukasa carefully avoids a bell trap, but Tsukuyo is caught by awakened children.

====Mitama&#039;s Festive Feast====&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year&#039;s Day, Kanagi and Mitama meet at the Daito shrine to pray together and enjoy the carnival. Mitama wears a kimono borrowed from Yachiyo, and after a hint from Mitama, Kanagi praises her outfit, making Mitama smile at sharing her first New Year&#039;s shrine visit with a friend. They make wishes, draw &amp;quot;Great Luck&amp;quot; fortunes, and tour the stalls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Festive Feast]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a takoyaki stall, they meet Seika, Mito, and Reira, who invite them to join a &amp;quot;New Year&#039;s Soup Event&amp;quot; where participants solve riddles to earn soup ingredients. Mitama accepts the challenge, and though they never actually solve the intended riddles, they help a fishmonger, calm Himika&#039;s little brother with a lion dance, and retrieve Riko&#039;s lost dog. In gratitude, they receive red and white fish cakes, Feral Sauce, and fried chicken. They return to the stall, and the girls share their soup with them anyway. Mitama enjoys it so much she gets the recipe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Iroha and Tsuruno show off their kimonos, dressed with Yachiyo&#039;s help. Felicia bursts in with an invitation from Mitama to an afternoon party. Despite Felicia&#039;s protests about Mitama&#039;s cooking, Iroha convinces everyone to attend together, and they arrive at Mitama&#039;s with vast amounts of food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party begins with Mitama greeting guests. When asked about her own dishes, she proudly displays her bento boxes. Momoko bravely volunteers to try one, declares it good, wolfs it down, and promptly passes out. Mitama announces mochi-pounding, and Felicia eagerly swings the mallet, nearly crushing Sana&#039;s hands. Yachiyo discovers Mitama used &amp;quot;World&#039;s Stickiest&amp;quot; rice flour, and everyone finds creative ways to prepare the resulting mochi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama brings out soup she made earlier. To everyone&#039;s surprise, it tastes delicious. Mitama admits Iroha and Yachiyo helped but says she added a secret ingredient from her earlier adventures. Everyone praises it, and Mitama declares she will add her own customizations. Despite warnings, she returns with fried chicken and Feral Sauce, dropping them into the soup. The resulting soup burns everyone&#039;s eyes with spiciness, but they recover and enjoy the remaining good food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After guests leave, Kanagi arrives to help clean, but Mitama declines, explaining everyone already helped. They walk together as Kanagi heads to her maid café shift. Mitama shares that her party was a hit, and she now dreams of improving her cooking to make people happy. Kanagi cautions her to use ingredients fit for human consumption.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha returns alone, inviting Mitama to join them for photos at Mizuna shrine while they are all dressed in kimonos. Mitama, realizing how blessed she is with kind friends, accepts. At the shrine, a stranger takes their photo, and Yachiyo thanks Mitama for joining. They take another photo of just the four of them, then everyone decides to get candy apples together. Mitama smiles and agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!====&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year&#039;s Day, the Mikazuki Villa residents share their first dreams over breakfast, with Felicia dreaming of a scolding cow, Sana dreaming of becoming a houseplant, and Yachiyo dreaming of eating too much mochi. Tsuruno arrives with homemade food but cannot remember her dream, so the group decides to visit the park based on Iroha&#039;s vague dream about something lucky happening there. When nothing special occurs and Yachiyo realizes she forgot her wallet, Iroha finds a 500 yen coin in her pocket, which is just enough to buy beans for the red-bean soup they wanted. They return home to make and enjoy the soup together, and Yachiyo reflects that while big luck is rare, small bits of luck can be found each day and should be appreciated throughout the year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;luckyny&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - New Year Lucky Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Iroha encounter Mitama while out with Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana, Tsuruno, Sayaka, and Homura. Mitama suggests they do something fitting for the holiday, and Yachiyo proposes kakizome, the first calligraphy of the year. Felicia protests that it sounds boring, but Yachiyo tempts her with the promise of sukiyaki for dinner if she writes properly, quickly changing her mind. The group agrees, and Yachiyo announces the theme: this year&#039;s resolution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka finishes first, having written &amp;quot;Get to know everyone better,&amp;quot; explaining that she wants to be someone who can truly understand and support the people she meets. Iroha is inspired by her words and writes &amp;quot;Don&#039;t be afraid to ask for help,&amp;quot; realizing she doesn&#039;t have to shoulder everything alone. Yachiyo presents her resolution, &amp;quot;Wishing for good health and safety at home,&amp;quot; admitting it may be cliché but sincerely believing in the fortune of staying healthy and avoiding disaster. Mitama first jokes with &amp;quot;Prosperous business&amp;quot; before revealing her true wish, &amp;quot;Everyone getting along well,&amp;quot; which Yachiyo acknowledges is not an easy hope to fulfill.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia struggles with her first attempt, writing &amp;quot;I want to eat meat,&amp;quot; but knows Yachiyo will be angry. She notices Homura also staring at a blank sheet, unable to decide if writing her true feelings is appropriate. Felicia encourages her to be honest, and Homura writes &amp;quot;Become a stronger me.&amp;quot; Grateful for the help, Felicia reworks her resolution into something positive, settling on &amp;quot;Earn Yachiyo&#039;s praise.&amp;quot; Tsuruno proudly reveals her goal, &amp;quot;Escape from 50 points,&amp;quot; explaining she wants to steadily improve rather than chase unreachable heights. Sana shows her resolution, &amp;quot;Show more initiative,&amp;quot; expressing her desire to protect everyone at Mikazuki Villa and stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka panics upon realizing everyone else has finished, struggling to find a resolution that isn&#039;t solely about being a magical girl. Her thoughts drift to Kyosuke against her will, and Mitama teases her about writing something love-related. Flustered, Sayaka denies having feelings for anyone, though internally she admits she wants to do her best in love too. Unable to confess that truth, she hastily writes &amp;quot;Do my best,&amp;quot; declaring she will work hard in all sorts of ways this year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With everyone finished, they tidy up and Felicia eagerly anticipates the sukiyaki. Mitama laments that she, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno won&#039;t be able to submit theirs since it&#039;s not homework for them, calling it a waste. Yachiyo suggests displaying them at home for the New Year, and Tsuruno proposes putting up everyone&#039;s resolutions. When Yachiyo worries about the inconvenience for Madoka&#039;s group to retrieve them later, they assure her they plan to visit Kamihama again anyway. They hang all the calligraphy together, each resolution on display, and everyone wishes each other a good year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mel reads a classmate&#039;s fortune about love, but Yachiyo angrily reminds her that fortune telling is banned because Mel&#039;s magic shapes reality rather than predicting it. When Mel asks what love actually is, Yachiyo and Mifuyu struggle to answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami shops for ingredients with Kyoko&#039;s help, worried her Valentine&#039;s chocolate won&#039;t be special enough. Kaede hopes her gifts to Rena and Momoko will be the best they receive.

Kaede shops with Konomi, who gives her flowers and reassurance that handmade gifts carry genuine feelings. Emiri searches all day, falls asleep in the mountains, and wakes to find a truffle pointed out by a mysterious old man. Kyoko brings Sayaka and Homura to Sugar Plum, and Sumomo refuses Kyubey&#039;s contract after Kyoko shares her own tragic story. Riko investigates Mokeo with Tsukasa&#039;s help. Felicia secretly makes chocolate with Iroha and eventually reveals she made it for her found family at Mikazuki Villa because Valentine&#039;s Day is for conveying feelings to important people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week before Valentine&#039;s Day, Manaka creates fourteen prototypes but feels burned out. After criticism from Ria and Mayu, she decides to make a chocolate ring that looks like real jewelry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Manaka completes the chocolate ring, but the student council member rejects it, explaining that candy can never be actual jewelry and that she chose chocolate because the truth is always by its side. Manaka collapses from exhaustion and wakes in the hospital with her spirit broken. Mayu suggests that the frame is just as important as the picture, inspiring Manaka to turn down the commission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Valentine&#039;s Day, Manaka helps the student council member make her own chocolate instead.

====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano====&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before a science event, a White Feather from the Wings of Magius informs Mitama Yakumo that a higher-up will be visiting and she should complete any necessary business when they arrive. Mitama says she will be prepared.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day, Hinano Miyako accidentally fills her science club room with gas during experiment preparations, forcing her to use her gas mask. She reflects on a previous incident as she cleans up for the next day&#039;s event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hinano explains her mishap to her audience, and her assistant Emiri Kisaki steals the punchline by emphasizing the importance of perfect preparation. Afterward, Emiri learns Hinano was attempting to create a height-increasing drug—the same goal that led to a near-fatal accident five years ago and her contract with Kyubey. Emiri makes Hinano promise to stop dangerous experiments, but Hinano immediately breaks this promise and sneaks back to continue her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Emiri rushes an unconscious Hinano to Mitama&#039;s place. Hinano had drunk her experimental drug and collapsed from violent stomach pains. After purification, Hinano explains her dream: as a child, she admired a long-legged older girl who hosted science events, and she wanted to become that kind of dashing figure. Emiri reveals her own wish was a spur-of-the-moment desire to be the cutest little devil possible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano&#039;s unresolved feelings cause her Soul Gem to corrupt, and she is suddenly pulled into a barrier. A shadowy version of herself appears, claiming to be the pure crystallization of her aspirations. It transforms into her Doppel—a poison monster wearing an attractive lab coat with long legs. Hinano hears Emiri&#039;s telepathic voice shouting that she does not want to part with her, giving her strength. She realizes that while she failed to become a mature figure, her approachable appearance helped her meet Emiri and make friends. The shadow asks if she will give up her research, and Hinano declares she will continue with a completely safe version. The barrier vanishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Hinano and Emiri leave, Alina Gray appears and confirms she created the barrier to contain Hinano&#039;s Doppel and protect Mitama. Mitama offers adjustment as thanks, asking Alina to continue favoring her business.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!====&lt;br /&gt;
* As Yachiyo makes lunch, Felicia barges in with a flyer announcing that Mitama is trying her hand at professional photography and offering free photos for one day only. The others are surprised, having heard nothing about this, but they agree to go and take a team photo since they have nothing else planned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s makeshift studio, she admits they are her only customers and shows off a new camera she bought because the advertisement claimed it would make anyone a pro photographer. When she starts taking photos, however, every attempt fails spectacularly, producing bizarre images like Madoka with people jumping from a plane and Homura posing with a lion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Frustrated, Mitama declares she will quit being an adjuster to devote herself to photography, but the girls protest that everyone in Kamihama would be in trouble without her. They reassure her that they trust her, and Tsuruno adds that she would not have become the strongest without Mitama&#039;s help. Mitama relents and agrees to remain an adjuster, though she will continue practicing photography in her free time. Later, a successful group photo of both Iroha and Madoka&#039;s teams is shown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama====&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama Yakumo invites a surprising number of magical girls to her place for an event she calls the &amp;quot;Great Mitama Thanksgiving.&amp;quot; When she finally arrives, she reveals that the gathering is actually a quiz tournament about herself, with the winner receiving a free adjustment session and the title of &amp;quot;Mitama&#039;s Perfect Lover.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz begins with multiple choice questions, and wrong answers trigger a trap door beneath the contestant, though cushions soften the fall. The first question asks Mitama&#039;s actual age, and Tsuruno guesses incorrectly, landing her in the trap. The second question asks whether Mitama&#039;s cooking is delicious, and when Felicia and Manaka both guess wrong, Mitama confirms that the correct answer is that her food is indeed delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz continues through several rounds, eliminating more contestants along the way. When the ninth question asks about Mitama&#039;s favorite movie, Ria guesses incorrectly and is eliminated for insulting the film&#039;s actress. Sana is also eliminated when Mitama takes pity on her after she panics over Iroha&#039;s safety, and Mitama confirms that &amp;quot;Pacifistic Hayashi&amp;quot; was the correct answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama admits she has run out of questions but still has many competitors remaining, so she decides to draw lots to pick a winner instead. Momoko asks why Mitama held the event in the first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama remembers a time where she tried using her magic to defeat a familiar on her own, and that even if her services are no longer needed, she can still protect herself. She has obtained the magic to keep living that she never had before, and if she ever had to abandon her neutrality, she could use it to help someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Mitama explains that she held the event because something good happened to her. The other girls sense a Witch and leave to hunt it, and Mitama tells them to draw their lots later. Alone, she wonders who she should use her power on when she eventually decides to stop being neutral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====I&#039;m the Star of this Show!====&lt;br /&gt;
* One night, Ria Ami receives a call from her manager about a fashion show that wants her as the prestigious last guest. The theme is &amp;quot;dressing in stylish uniforms.&amp;quot; Ria eagerly accepts, imagining Mayu Kozue praising her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - I&#039;m the Star of this Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Ria dreams. On the day of the fashion show, she runs into a Witch. Kyoko Sakura appears in the barrier. Mistaking Kyoko for a fan, Ria tries to show off, but Kyoko tells her to stay out of the way. They fight. Ria leaves the barrier and finds she has missed the show completely. Horrified, she wakes up. It was only a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, she and Asuka Tatsuki arrive to cheer. Asuka reveals she has been practicing for this day. During the event, Asuka cheers for Ria like it is a sports event. Ria knows she means no harm but feels embarrassed, as if Asuka is ruining the event. She wakes up again. Another dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, just as she is about to go on stage, the power cuts out. Though it quickly returns, the audience&#039;s enthusiasm has diminished. Ria blames herself for being unable to overcome the outage. She wakes up, realizing she has been dreaming about the show every single night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual day of the show, Ria pinches her cheek to make sure it is real. She stumbles into a Witch barrier, and Kyoko appears just as in her dreams. This time, Ria tells Kyoko she can take the credit for killing the Witch. Ria leaves and meets Asuka and Mayu. When she learns Asuka has practiced cheering, Ria explains that fashion shows have their own etiquette and promises to send her details later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just before Ria&#039;s turn on stage, the power cuts out for real. Ria decides to make it part of the show. She asks the audience to get out their penlights and turn them all on her when she gives the signal. Her improvisation is a complete success, though she wishes she could have shown her perfect walk. She thinks she is feeling the best feeling in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls are surprised to learn that Felicia scored fifty-two points on a test, and she asks for a reward. Yachiyo deems her request to go to MooMoo Park too expensive and instead promises a fancy dinner the next day, which satisfies Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha discovers that Tsuruno left her phone in the refrigerator and offers to return it while Yachiyo goes to a photo shoot. During breakfast, a commercial for MooMoo Park airs on television.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After breakfast, Felicia shows Sana the park commercial on her phone and admits she still wants to go, so she drags Sana along to catch animals at a riverbank. Meanwhile, Iroha returns Tsuruno&#039;s phone and helps out at her family&#039;s restaurant. At the riverbank, Felicia finds a small turtle, but Ayame Mikuri appears and accuses her of harassment. The two magical girls fight, and Felicia releases the turtle to protect it before running off, leaving Sana behind. Yachiyo finds Sana on her way home and learns what happened, then invites her to lunch. Felicia returns to the house, still angry at Ayame, and takes a nap after lunch. She dreams that the turtle thanks her and promises something at the riverbank, so she wakes and goes out to find it. She returns with a ticket for two to MooMoo Park. The others reveal that Iroha also received a ticket from Tsuruno&#039;s father, and Yachiyo got one at a meat store, so everyone can now go together. The girls happily resolve to visit the park and enjoy their dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of====&lt;br /&gt;
* An old lady asks Kanagi Izumi for a deli recommendation, and Kanagi suggests the potato soup and meat skewers, knowing the customer&#039;s daughter loves them. When the lady asks if this is truly Kanagi&#039;s last day, Kanagi confirms it and expresses regret at not seeing her again. At the end of her shift, Kanagi thanks her boss and coworkers, who are sad to see her go, but she needs higher pay to support her family and the grocery store cannot match her new job&#039;s wages.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives home later than usual due to a going-away party, and her father apologizes for not working enough to provide, though Kanagi is happy to help. He worries about her new job being radically different from her previous work, but Kanagi believes it is worth it since the pay means she can quit her second job and have more free time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi starts her new job at a maid café and impresses her coworker by already having a parfait ready. Despite learning the kitchen pace quickly, the hall is understaffed, and when the manager offers to help, Kanagi replies &amp;quot;Yes, sir!&amp;quot; only to be corrected that the manager prefers to be called &amp;quot;madam.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the rush, the head maid wishes for another maid, and the manager asks Kanagi to try working the floor for a raise. Kanagi&#039;s eyes widen at the salary and she accepts, receiving the maid nickname &amp;quot;Maid Nagitan.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid reviews basics with Kanagi, who feels confident due to her customer service background and sees this as a life-or-death matter to earn more for her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika Kumi, Reira Ibuki, and Mito Aino enter, and Kanagi greets them with a serious look and curt &amp;quot;welcome,&amp;quot; leaving them surprised by her cold, soldier-like demeanor. When Mito asks if she is really a maid, Kanagi introduces herself as Maid Nagitan and shakes Mito&#039;s hand firmly, causing Seika to freeze up. Later, when Reira asks if she will do &amp;quot;the thing&amp;quot; of adding love to the food, Kanagi misinterprets and says she cannot profess love to strangers, leaving the girls let down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At another table, a customer also wants &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; but Kanagi declines, saying she is no liar. The head maid intervenes and reminds Kanagi this is a maid café, explaining their job is creating a fun atmosphere. Kanagi returns to the trio&#039;s table and notices Seika staring, misinterpreting it as a staring contest. They stare at each other until Seika faints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid calls Kanagi completely hopeless and explains a maid&#039;s worth comes from tending to others, telling her to return to the kitchen if she cannot take the work seriously. The manager offers a one-week trial period: if Kanagi improves by week&#039;s end, she stays a maid. Kanagi vows to work with every fiber of her being.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Karin Misono finishes reading &amp;quot;Detective Maid Mei&amp;quot; and notices Kanagi slumped on a swing, muttering about what makes a good maid. Karin recognizes her as the boss of the East and, seeing an opportunity for her manga, asks Kanagi to tell her everything. Karin lends her the Detective Maid Mei manga for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Kanagi reads the manga and notes how the maid greets masters warmly, respects their decisions, and lets the master grow when needed. At the end, the maid strikes a pose. Kanagi meets Karin at the park to return the manga and heads to work with Karin tagging along for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the café, two boys enter and Kanagi greets them warmly as masters, surprising them with her &amp;quot;cool but kind&amp;quot; demeanor. The head maid smiles at her improvement. Kanagi serves Karin a Lovely Rice Omelet, and when Karin suggests she draw on it with ketchup, Kanagi tries to draw a kirin but it looks like a weird animal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Two more customers arrive, Aimi Eri and Natsuki Utsuho. Kanagi serves them and offers to draw on their omelets, writing Aimi&#039;s crush&#039;s name with hearts on her plate. As she leaves, Karin motions for her, and Kanagi does the manga pose, telling them to let her take care of any problems. At day&#039;s end, the head maid notes Kanagi&#039;s huge improvement but says it is too early to celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The final test begins, and the manager outlines that Kanagi must please the next returning customer, ensuring the master leaves with a smile. The door jingles as Konomi Haruna enters, distressed to find herself in a maid café. Kanagi greets her warmly and shows her to a seat despite the manager&#039;s concern.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi orders the Maid&#039;s Special Herbal Blend after Kanagi&#039;s recommendation, but when Kanagi offers to play a game then arm wrestle, Konomi panics, drinks quickly, pays, and leaves. The manager agrees that Kanagi should return to the kitchen as promised. Kanagi walks home alone, bothered by something beyond the wage cut.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi is back in the kitchen, and the kitchen staff is delighted. At day&#039;s end, the head maid tells her the staff appreciated her return, and Kanagi wonders why no one said they were glad when she worked as a maid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager notices her expression and encourages her to think until she is satisfied with the answer. Kanagi decides to find Konomi and ask what she lacked, recalling her school uniform.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi enters Konomi&#039;s flower shop, and Konomi is shocked. Kanagi asks what she lacked as a maid, but Konomi apologizes for assuming Kanagi was scary due to East-West history. She explains she entered by mistake, but Kanagi was considerate, made a helpful suggestion, and offered to ease her anxiety. It felt like Kanagi was doing it just for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi realizes that is what she was lacking: taking into account what the other person wants and responding to it. At the park, Kanagi reflects that customers come to enjoy the atmosphere and it is her job to consider whether it is worthwhile for them. She berates herself for making masters uncomfortable. Karin finds her and insists she should keep being a maid, offering to talk to the manager. Kanagi smiles and asks for a different favor instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi approaches the manager for a second chance, proposing she serve the same three customers who left when Seika fainted. The manager agrees to let her try. Karin finds Reira and Seika at a park and extends an invitation for them to return so Nagitan can make it up to them. Reira agrees, and Karin hands them invitations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio enters the café with Seika frozen, and Kanagi greets them warmly and shows them to their table. Kanagi serves their omelets, and when Mito asks if they were made with love, Kanagi admits she could not be dishonest but offers to draw with ketchup instead. She gives Mito the bottle to draw while Kanagi draws on Mito&#039;s plate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They play rock-paper-scissors, and Reira explains Seika is very shy and fainted because she had to make eye contact with someone new. Seika&#039;s class is doing a maid café for the school festival and she wanted to do her best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika admits she thought Kanagi was so confident she lost her own confidence. Kanagi points to the head maid as the ideal and explains she herself could never be like that, so she tries her best in her own way, encouraging Seika to find her own style. Seika smiles and asks for a picture. Kanagi agrees if her face is hidden, and before they leave, she does her signature pose and tells Seika to remember it when nervous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager calls Kanagi over and offers her the maid position, noting she learned something important. Kanagi says she wants to keep being a maid, not just for the paycheck, but to use what she learned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day at the café, Kanagi serves drinks and poses for pictures with a face mask, her fans cheering. Karin calls for her to do &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; and the café erupts yelling &amp;quot;Nagitan!&amp;quot; Karin and Kanagi walk home, and when Kanagi asks about her manga, Karin realizes she never drew it. Kanagi offers to help, but when Karin asks if she will do the pose, Kanagi reminds her she is off the clock. Karin looks down sadly as Kanagi returns to being serious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia====&lt;br /&gt;
* During the day, Felicia eats Tsuruno&#039;s ice candy without realizing it was hers because she cannot read kanji. Tsuruno reprimands Yachiyo when she learns Yachiyo knew and was preparing to buy a replacement. Yachiyo states it is impossible to guard the fridge constantly. Felicia, overwhelmed with guilt and anger that no one listens to her confession, loses control and flips the kitchen table before locking herself in her room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Felicia has a nightmare. She dreams her falling grades caused a huge argument between her parents, who blamed each other for neglecting her. Both ignore her confession and promise to try harder. Her mother storms back to the kitchen to cook. Felicia recalls that a Witch attacked immediately after, killing her parents, and she wakes up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She goes to the kitchen for water, but Iroha is there and points out she looks pale. Iroha tells her to rest and offers to bring water to her room. Felicia loses her temper and storms out of the house. Iroha wakes the others to find her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Felicia hears a voice claiming to be her. The voice pulls her into a barrier, where another Felicia lures her toward a locked box, revealing itself as her Doppel. Felicia nearly opens the box but remembers Yachiyo&#039;s words about some things being best left unknown. Her instincts tell her she is not ready.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She promises her Doppel she will return when she is stronger and hopes it can hold the truth for her. The Doppel accepts and returns to normal. Felicia wakes up at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo inform her they found her unconscious in the park. Felicia tells them about the encounter and her desire to become strong enough to fulfill her promise. Mitama offers a free power-up session to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha recalls they found Felicia releasing her Doppel in the park before losing consciousness. Yachiyo notes this has never happened before. She remembers that Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane once said Doppels are materialized emotions. Yachiyo concludes Felicia carries a heavy burden and tells Iroha to keep this secret until Felicia either realizes it herself or becomes strong enough to handle the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Monogatari Series Collab====&lt;br /&gt;
* During this time, a Witch causes several girls from another universe to be brought into this universe, turning them into special &#039;what if&#039; forms as Magical Girls, changing their memories as well. &lt;br /&gt;
** Shinobu Oshino, originally a legendary vampire in her world, she became the &amp;quot;Immortal Magical Girl&amp;quot; by wishing &amp;quot;I wish to die.&amp;quot; However, as a result, the prey she hunts become nourishment for her and her life span extends instead.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi Hachikuji became a &amp;quot;labyrinth Magical Girl&amp;quot; with the wish “I wish to return home”. With her excellent defense, she could cause the enemy’s attack to avoid her, as if it had lost its way, but for some reason, she could never reach my mother’s house. My wish was &lt;br /&gt;
** Yotsugi Ononoki became a &amp;quot;doll Magical Girl,&amp;quot; with the belief her sole mission in life is to defeat Witches. She fought to protect the world and the people dear to her from ruin.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hitagi Senjougahara became a &amp;quot;gravitational Magical Girl,&amp;quot; who seized the weight of the object attacked by her hammer. The more she seized, the more massive her hammer grew, and was strengthened. Her wish was “Please give me memories.”&lt;br /&gt;
** Suruga Kanbaru became a &amp;quot;pioneer Magical Girl,&amp;quot; where she was fused with her motorbike after her transformation. Although she was the star who led Naoetsu High School&#039;s basketball club to the national tournament, she frequently made dangerous actions and comments. Her wish was &amp;quot;I want to be faster than anyone.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nadeko Sengoku became the &amp;quot;prostrating Magical Girl,&amp;quot; who fought with landmines while creeping because of her extremely timid personality, yet often carelessly stepped on them herself. Her wish was &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want anyone to see me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsubasa Hanekawa became &amp;quot;the memorial Magical Girl,&amp;quot; who lost her memories when she burnt something with a flame bottle, but her top-notch brain in her grade would constantly store new memories. Her wish was &amp;quot;I want to forget everything,&amp;quot; and her attacks burn through her memories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shinobu Oshino, Mayoi Hachikuji and Yotsugi Ononoki hunt a Witch together. Shinobu begins her dramatic introduction and finishing move, but Yotsugi defeats the Witch with a simple &amp;quot;Hyah&amp;quot; and Mayoi lands the final blow with &amp;quot;Yah.&amp;quot; Shinobu is annoyed at their failure to call out special moves. Shinobu argues that calling out attacks is the essence of being a Magical Girl, but Yotsugi dismisses this as an outdated trope. Shinobu retorts that refusing to act the part is dumb, and Yotsugi reluctantly agrees. Shinobu declares they need training to act more befitting of Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Shinobu&#039;s Heartphial Story: Shinobu Spells]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shinobu demonstrates by striking a pose and delivering her lines with perfect timing. When Yotsugi tries, her performance is terrible. Shinobu forces her to try again, and Yotsugi reluctantly says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; but finds it unpleasant and refuses to repeat it. Mayoi asks Shinobu to help her come up with lines. After a few stumbles, she declares, &amp;quot;I, Mayoi Hachikuji, hereby condemn those Witches who seek to ravage this earth!&amp;quot; Shinobu finds it charming, and Mayoi admits leaning into the Magical Girl thing is fun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They enter a real Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Mayoi messes up her line again but turns it into an improvised bit while evading attacks. Yotsugi delivers a longer speech and says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; landing the attack. Shinobu finishes the Witch with her full finishing move. After the battle, morning comes. Shinobu declares the training will continue, but Yotsugi walks away. Mayoi distracts Shinobu by suggesting breakfast, and Shinobu wants donuts. Yachiyo, out for an early walk, overhears them and decides she wants donuts too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa and helps Yachiyo prepare breakfast. Sana joins them, but when she goes to wake Felicia, she finds Felicia’s room empty and her shoes gone; Felicia’s phone is also out of service. Worried, Yachiyo calls Tsuruno for help, and the group splits up to search the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part I: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the search, Iroha’s Soul Gem reacts to a nearby Witch. Inside the labyrinth, they encounter two unfamiliar magical girls who are already fighting the Witch: Mayoi Hachikuji and Shinobu Oshino. After the Witch is defeated, introductions are exchanged. Mayoi and Shinobu explain they are traveling and looking for a lost friend named Yotsugi Ononoki, who has bluish‑green pigtails, a peculiar hat with eyes, and a frilly dress. The two groups exchange phone numbers to help each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Felicia has in fact met Yotsugi. Yotsugi buys her ice cream, and Felicia learns Yotsugi is also traveling. Felicia offers to show Yotsugi around town as thanks, taking her to the shopping street, a spot with cats, and a bench good for naps. Yotsugi finds everything unfamiliar and feels something is off, as if she has buttoned her shirt wrong. She shortens Felicia’s name to “Felly,” which makes Felicia happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha’s group eventually spots Felicia with Yotsugi. When Yachiyo hugs Felicia in relief, Felicia reacts as if she does not know any of them. She remembers Yachiyo only as a famous magical girl, but has no memory of living at Mikazuki Villa. The group realizes Felicia has lost her memories. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive and reunite with Yotsugi. Felicia refuses to go with Iroha’s group, accusing them of being kidnappers. Yotsugi offers a third option: Felicia can join their traveling team. Mayoi warns Felicia that if she chooses to leave with them, she will never return to the home that might be waiting for her. Felicia becomes confused and cries. Iroha proposes they all have dinner together at Mikazuki Villa first, so Felicia can calm down and decide later and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, Felicia asks Yotsugi what she likes to eat. Yotsugi admits a preference for expensive cup ice cream. Felicia awkwardly asks if Yotsugi&#039;s face is always stuck like that, and Yotsugi confirms it is. After arriving, Felicia eagerly tries to get Yotsugi to play video games, serves her extra portions of food, and challenges her to a pillow fight. Yotsugi excuses herself to take a bath, leaving Felicia disappointed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yotsugi Ononoki#Side Story|Yotsugi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Yotsugi Sister]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Felicia apologizes for being clingy, explaining that Yachiyo and the others pulled her aside to warn her. Felicia confesses she had been trying to make Yotsugi smile, assuming she had lost her parents like Felicia did. Yotsugi clarifies that her emotions simply do not show on her face, but she does feel them. She admits playing the game was fun and the food was not bad. Felicia is overjoyed and runs off to brag to everyone. Shinobu and Mayoi, who had been eavesdropping, tease Yotsugi for finding Felicia cute. Yotsugi concedes that Felicia is exhausting, but seeing her face light up from a drop of attention is not unpleasant. She gains newfound respect for all older sisters in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the villa, Shinobu requests doughnuts for dessert, and the group plays games. Yotsugi helps in the kitchen and notices the chicken meat has a nice springy firmness. During dinner, the group shares memories of how they met Felicia. Felicia still does not remember, but Shinobu points out the stories are too detailed to be lies. Tsuruno suddenly does not remember buying coasters, revealing she may also have amnesia. Yotsugi then shifts the discussion: she reminds Shinobu that she walked in sunlight all day without harm, which should be impossible because Shinobu is actually a vampire. Shinobu’s memories return, and she declares herself the iron‑blooded, hot‑blooded, cold‑blooded vampire king of oddities. Mayoi also gets a headache and remembers she is not human either, and instead she is a snail oddity, a ghost. Yotsugi explains that she has felt uneasy calling herself a magical girl; she suspects this world is not the one she came from, as everything feels slightly different, like two paintings of the same image in different styles. She believes Shinobu, Mayoi, and herself came from another world. They conclude that a Witch may be behind the memory loss and false memories, and decide to hunt Witches the next day. Everyone stays the night at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mayoi plays Old Maid with Tsuruno, Felicia, Yotsugi, and Shinobu. Mayoi wins, but Yotsugi and Shinobu notice she seemed absent-minded. Mayoi asks Yachiyo if she can help with dinner, admitting she always wished she could cook with her mom. Yachiyo agrees and Mayoi joins Iroha and Sana in making dumplings, proving to be a natural. Yotsugi and Shinobu try but fail miserably. Mayoi boasts and declares herself the rightful leader of the little girls, sparking a three-way argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Mayoi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Mayoi Home]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno suggests playing a game to decide the leader, and Felicia wants to join. Shinobu insists Iroha must also participate. They play a life simulation board game. Mayoi starts strong but ends up broke and stranded in the Amazon. Iroha wins, and Mayoi declares her the official leader of the little girls, much to Iroha&#039;s confusion. Mayoi feels this has been the most fun she has had in a while, yet she cannot shake an uneasy feeling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After everyone decides to stay over, Yachiyo announces bath time. Mayoi suddenly bolts out of the house, claiming she will take a walk. Iroha chases after her and finds her safe. Mayoi apologizes and explains that the family moment overwhelmed her heart, so she left to do something familiar to settle herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi revisits her wish: after her parents&#039; divorce, she wished to go home. Being at Mikazuki Villa makes her feel like her wish has finally come true, yet she senses it is not the home she truly wants to return to. She remembers she is a ghost and wonders where exactly it is she wants to go back to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After they lay out futons in the living room, Shinobu reveals she is actually over 500 years old, and Mayoi was in fifth grade when she died, now mentally 21. Yotsugi still does not remember what she is. Felicia cannot sleep and goes outside. She sees a Witch appear suddenly, feels her head go foggy, and collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha again helps with breakfast. She feels a strange déjà vu, as if the same conversation has happened before. Sana again reports Felicia is missing. The group searches the town and again encounters Mayoi and Shinobu fighting a Witch. The same exchanges occur, but Iroha’s déjà vu grows stronger.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When they finally find Felicia, she is with Yotsugi and is annoyed that they took so long to show up. Yotsugi addresses Iroha by name without being introduced. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive. Iroha blurts out that everything feels like it has happened before. Yotsugi then explains: this is the second time they have met like this. Everyone suddenly remembers the previous day’s events of the dinner, the revelations about vampires and ghosts, and the time reset. Yotsugi says she felt the air warp after falling asleep, and when she woke up, she was back where she had been before meeting Felicia. Felicia recalls that before the reset, she saw a Witch outside Mikazuki Villa that made her dizzy and erased her memories. The group deduces that Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they discuss how to fight the Witch, Felicia’s stomach growls. They decide to return to the villa for dinner again, saving the battle for the next day. On the way, they stop at a supermarket for a snack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While walking home, a Witch suddenly appears and pulls Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi into a labyrinth. Felicia recognizes it as the same Witch from the reset. The Witch ignores both Iroha and Felicia, focusing all its attacks on Yotsugi. It dodges Felicia’s hammer and lands a clean hit, cutting Yotsugi’s body into pieces. Iroha and Felicia are horrified. As the Witch prepares to strike again, Yotsugi’s voice tells them to keep pretending to be sad. She instructs them to retreat and gather the pieces of her body. They do so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside the labyrinth, Yotsugi puts herself back together as if nothing happened. She reveals that when she took the hit, she regained her true memories. Back at Mikazuki Villa, she explains to everyone: she is a hundred‑year‑old tsukumogami made from a human body, both a doll oddity and a corpse oddity. She has no heart and has always been dead. This is why the Witch’s power of suggestion, which works by influencing emotions, does not affect her as much. She also notes that the Witch let them escape because it was angry at Yotsugi for helping everyone remember the first loop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yotsugi attacks Shinobu. Shinobu blocks the strike. When asked why, Yotsugi coldly says, “Would you mind dying for me real quick?”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt; Yotsugi’s sudden attack on Shinobu was not betrayal but a calculated shock: she remembered that when the Witch cut her into pieces, the trauma restored her own original memories. She reasons that a sufficiently strong physical blow can break through the memory manipulation. Shinobu’s severed leg instantly regenerates as her vampiric powers return, proving the method works. Without warning, Yotsugi then punches Mayoi, knocking her unconscious. When Mayoi wakes, her memories also return, which is triggered by the keyword “lost.” Mayoi explains that their false magical girl powers and wishes were implanted by the Witch, and that they are not inhabitants of this world. She then proposes a new theory: the Kamihama girls did not lose their memories; rather, they come from different points in their own timeline and simply haven’t experienced the shared past yet. Felicia is devastated, fearing she will never have a family again, but Iroha and the others reassure her that in every timeline they will end up together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part II: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, after everyone has gone to sleep, Shinobu summons Yotsugi and Mayoi outside. She admits she does not fully trust Iroha’s group, as they could be the Witch’s minions or mere plot devices. She reveals there may be another way to return to their original world, but she does not elaborate immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group splits up to hunt the elusive Witch. They repeatedly enter labyrinths of other Witches, wasting time. Felicia grows increasingly frustrated, nearly charging into unrelated fights. Yachiyo observes that the Witch seems to want them to fight, so any peaceful, fun activity risks a reset, which is why the first reset happened after their happy dinner and games. She concludes that the Witch is like a director forcing them to act out a “magical girls fighting” plot. Iroha suggests they deliberately provoke the Witch by acting against that plot, hoping to lure it out. However, Yotsugi warns that straying too far might trigger another reset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo formally presents her three‑point theory: (1) The Witch did not pursue them when they fled, (2) it never removed their magical girl powers, and (3) the resets happen when they relax instead of fight. Everyone agrees the plan is to provoke the Witch into appearing. Shinobu then insists on going sightseeing the next day, arguing that one more reset will weaken the Witch’s power further. Despite concerns about resetting again, Tsuruno enthusiastically supports the idea, and the group reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group spends the morning and afternoon touring Kamihama: the radio tower, the school (which they sneak into), an arcade where Yotsugi plays rhythm games with a completely blank expression, and the shopping mall where Shinobu demands to find a donut shop. Tsuruno saves the family restaurant, Banbanzai, for last. As they approach, Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi sense the Witch charging straight at them. The familiar dizziness overcomes everyone, and the world resets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Several hours after the reset, Yotsugi again restores everyone’s memories, as her immunity to the Witch’s suggestion means she still remembers everything. The group notes that more people felt déjà vu this time, suggesting the Witch is weakening. That night, Shinobu privately tells Yotsugi and Mayoi her true alternative plan: she will kill the Kamihama magical girls and consume their power, believing that enough strength will allow her to tear open a gate back to their world. Yotsugi and Mayoi agree to help, though Mayoi is conflicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the town feels eerily deserted. The Witch’s labyrinth is sparse, with only familiars. Following Shinobu’s earlier secret instruction, the group begins shouting insults at the Witch to provoke it. Suddenly, Shinobu strikes Felicia from behind, seemingly killing her. Yachiyo and Tsuruno are horrified. Shinobu, Yotsugi, and Mayoi reveal their betrayal: they intend to slaughter everyone to gain power for a gate home. A brutal fight erupts. Mayoi uses her ability to redirect Yachiyo’s spear attack, causing it to hit Iroha and Sana, who also fall. Tsuruno is overwhelmed, and Yachiyo is mortally wounded. Shinobu stands alone, gloating, but then the “dead” girls suddenly rise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** It was all an act. The group had secretly planned this staged betrayal during the previous night, communicating via handwritten notes to avoid the Witch overhearing. Sana, who makes picture books, wrote the script. The plan had multiple layers: first, they deliberately triggered a second reset by going sightseeing to weaken the Witch; second, they staged a believable in‑fighting scenario to lure the Witch out, because if all the “actors” disappear, the Witch’s story cannot continue. The Witch falls for the trap and appears, enraged by the deception. A full‑scale battle begins. The group coordinates: Iroha and Sana herd familiars for Yotsugi’s “Unlimited Rulebook”; Yachiyo, Shinobu, and Iroha immobilize the Witch; Tsuruno guides Mayoi’s errant drill attack with her flames, piercing the Witch’s front camera. When that does not destroy the labyrinth, Yachiyo and Shinobu realize the front camera was a decoy: the true weak spot is the film at the back. Felicia, launched by Yotsugi like a bullet, smashes the drill deeper, and Yachiyo and Shinobu destroy the film. The labyrinth dissolves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the world fades to mist, Felicia breaks down crying. She does not want this world to end because at Mikazuki Villa she finally felt like she had a family again, and she fears returning to her own timeline where she will be alone. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Sana hug her, promising that no matter the world or timeline, they will surely live together again. Shinobu, Mayoi, and Yotsugi share an awkward, brief hug, concluding they are not the hugging type. Everyone exchanges farewells. Yotsugi tells Felicia, “I’m glad I met you, Felly.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa, yawning. Felicia teases her for sleeping late. Iroha recalls a long, strange dream, both fun and bittersweet, but the details fade upon waking. She only remembers that it was something really special. The day begins again, as if the adventure had never happened, except for the faint warmth left behind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede dreams of a garden where Momoko and Rena help her harvest fantastical vegetables. When she asks about the cream puff tree, Momoko shows her a basket full. The peace breaks when an apartment complex finishes construction behind them, destroying the garden. Kaede remembers this moment: her father announced a new building would block their sunlight, her mother worried they would lose their garden, and in despair, Kaede wished to stop the construction entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The dream shatters and a shadowy version of Kaede appears, accusing her of always running from difficulty. It reminds her she made her wish without considering the people who would have lived in that building, that she ran from Rena rather than face rejection, that she holds back in marathons and skips hard problems. The shadow urges her to keep running until she finds where she belongs and offers its hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kaede admits everything is true: she is weak and useless. But she insists she wants to stay with Momoko and Rena, the friends who matter to her. She asks her shadow to help her become better little by little. The shadow agrees, promising to watch from the garden of her heart. Kaede wakes at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains Kaede blacked out during a Witch battle. Kaede remembers hesitating to transform, a Familiar catching her off guard, and Rena crying out. When another Familiar attacked Rena, Kaede recalled a time Momoko was hurt because of her mistake. Believing herself useless, her Soul Gem turned pitch black. Now awake and purified, she chooses not to run. She asks to join Momoko and Rena, who went ahead to hunt the Witch. Mitama sends her off, confident she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holiday Nyaprise!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede asks Mikazuki Villa to watch a lost kitten while her family is away. After Felicia threatens to withhold bedtime hot cocoa, Yachiyo relents and Sana names the cat Gorojirou, or Sir Purrs-a-little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Holiday Nyaprise!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno visits daily to play, and when Gorojirou needs the restroom, Sana rushes it to the litter box just as Yachiyo calls them for lunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia chases the cat until Sana gives her a toy to lure it instead, and they eventually nap together on the couch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou has grown close to everyone, and Iroha tries taking its picture but accidentally films herself instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha shops, Sana watches the cat and Yachiyo admits she avoided getting attached because Gorojirou is temporary, but resolves to make its stay pleasant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou chews Felicia&#039;s favorite sticker, and though Felicia is angry, Sana reminds her the cat leaves tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede returns for Gorojirou, and everyone says a tearful goodbye. As they leave, the cat meows at Sana, who cries happily saying goodbye to her new best friend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Clash!====&lt;br /&gt;
* A Mirror copy of Shizuku opens a portal and steps through into a city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Magia Clash!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama organizes a magical girl team competition inside the Mirrors labyrinth. Kaede and Iroha greet Nanoha, hoping to talk with her, but Kaede is called away when her match begins. Iroha stays behind and watches with Nanoha instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanoha Takamachi#Side Story|Nanoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hayate, Nanoha, and Fate mistake a Mirror copy&#039;s portal for the warp gate to their tournament and are pulled through before Lindy can stop them. Mitama registers the confused but excited trio for the &amp;quot;First Ultimate Magical Girls Team Battle Mirrors Cup,&amp;quot; and they head to the Standby Zone after learning about the Mirror barrier. Meanwhile, Rena, Momoko, and Kaede struggle against unusually strong Familiars, and when Rena twists her ankle, the Nanoha trio steps in to save them. The groups introduce themselves, with the trio explaining they are from Uminary City while concealing their connection to the Administrative Bureau, and Rena warns them about dangerous Mirror copies that lurk deeper in the barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they observe Team Momoko&#039;s match, Nanoha comments on the fighting styles she sees and notes the variety of magic on display. She explains she was taught magic from an early age and is surprised to learn Iroha and the others gained their powers by making wishes to Kyubey. Iroha describes Kyubey as a white stuffed animal, which reminds Nanoha of her own first teacher, Yuuno. Nanoha shares that she discovered magic in third grade when she heard Yuuno calling for help, and since then she has honed her abilities alongside Fate and Hayate to protect others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks about Nanoha&#039;s device, Raising Heart, and how it can transform. Nanoha explains the device taught her magic step by step and once posed an important question to her: what is the most important thing in a fight? Iroha guesses it is the will to win, but before Nanoha can reveal the true answer, Fate and Hayate return from exploring. Fate requests a sparring match, and Iroha asks to watch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo joins Iroha to observe the fight between Nanoha and Fate. The two exchange blows at maximum speed, with Fate using close-range attacks while Nanoha fights from a distance. The match ends in a tie after a final, explosive clash. Before leaving for a break, Nanoha turns to Iroha and reveals the true answer to Raising Heart&#039;s question: wisdom and tactics. Iroha agrees, especially after witnessing their battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Natsuki is fretting over a lost wallet at the Promise Altar, and Ria offers to help her search since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway. Natsuki apologizes for the trouble, but Ria insists she doesn&#039;t mind and even offers to lend her money. Natsuki refuses the loan but admits she needs money for train fare home. She reluctantly agrees to borrow just enough for the trip and promises to pay Ria back later. Ria asks if Natsuki is sure she doesn&#039;t want to file a report, but Natsuki believes the wallet is simply lost rather than stolen and wants to keep searching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hayate Yagami#Side Story|Hayate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria suggests they retrace Natsuki&#039;s steps and asks where she&#039;s been. Natsuki lists the Promise Altar, the station, the shopping district, and an izakaya where she ate with friends. Ria questions why she went to an izakaya alone, and Natsuki clarifies she was with coworkers. Ria finds it odd that Natsuki was drinking with coworkers and then came to the shrine alone afterwards. Natsuki admits it&#039;s a long story involving a former coworker&#039;s engagement announcement that left her feeling restless. She came to the shrine to think but realized she didn&#039;t have enough money to get home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they search, they run into Masara and Kokoro. Masara bluntly tells Natsuki she probably won&#039;t find it and suggests getting a new student ID. Kokoro gently scolds her for being insensitive and offers to help search. Ria mentions they&#039;ve already looked around the shrine, so Kokoro suggests they expand the search area.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group heads to the shopping district, where they encounter Kanoko. She offers to help search as well, and they all continue looking together. Eventually, Ria asks Natsuki to retrace her exact steps from when she left the izakaya. Natsuki recalls walking to the station, realizing she didn&#039;t want to go home yet, and coming to the shrine. Ria points out that she would have needed her wallet to pay the izakaya bill, so she definitely had it after leaving. Natsuki confirms this and remembers using her train pass at the station before changing her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria concludes the wallet must be somewhere between the station turnstiles and the shrine, but they&#039;ve already searched that route thoroughly. Kanoko suggests Natsuki might have dropped it somewhere else without realizing, like when she pulled out her phone. Natsuki&#039;s eyes light up, and she admits she did take out her phone at the station to check something. She just can&#039;t remember what she did with her wallet after that. Ria proposes they split up to cover more ground, and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Natsuki returns home defeated and exhausted. Her father calls out to her, and when she enters the living room, she finds her wallet sitting on the table. Her mother found it in the shopping district and a kind stranger turned it in. Natsuki&#039;s relief quickly turns to panic when she remembers she borrowed money from Ria, and now she has no way to contact her. She considers calling Kokoro but realizes she doesn&#039;t have her number either. She decides to go back to the Promise Altar the next day to hopefully find Ria there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Natsuki returns to the Promise Altar and is relieved to spot Ria. She excitedly explains that her wallet was found and immediately tries to repay the loan. Ria accepts the money but notices Natsuki seems troubled about something else. Natsuki admits she&#039;s been thinking about her former coworker&#039;s engagement and how she handled the situation. Ria offers to listen if Natsuki wants to talk, but Natsuki says she&#039;d rather not burden her further. Ria insists it&#039;s no trouble since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki explains that her former coworker Yukari got engaged and announced it at a gathering. Natsuki congratulated her happily, but another coworker named Ootori made some passive-aggressive comments about how Yukari managed to find someone before her. Later, Ootori apologized to Natsuki for her behavior, but Natsuki feels she should have defended Yukari in the moment. She feels guilty for not speaking up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria asks why she feels responsible for defending Yukari. Natsuki admits it&#039;s because Yukari was always kind to her when she first started the job, and she feels she failed to repay that kindness. Ria points out that Natsuki did congratulate Yukari sincerely, and that was probably what mattered most to her in that moment. Natsuki realizes Ria is right and thanks her for the perspective.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just then, Kanagi arrives, and Ria prepares to leave. Before going, she offers Natsuki her contact information so she can reach out if she ever needs to talk again. Natsuki gratefully accepts, and the two part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During a break in the Mirrors tournament, Fate, Nanoha, and Hayate encounter a copy of Fate that proves too powerful for them to handle alone. Felicia, Kako, and Ayame appear to help, and together they defeat the copy. When Felicia asks what they&#039;re doing there, Fate admits they got lost. The Kamihama girls learn the trio is from out of town and younger than them, but they quickly become friends and head back to the standby zone together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Fate T. Harlaown#Side Story|Fate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group somehow gets roped into a dodgeball game, with teams forming spontaneously among the tournament participants. Fate proves to be exceptionally athletic, leading her team through multiple rounds against increasingly competitive opponents. After defeating Momoko&#039;s team, they face a martial arts team featuring Akira, Meiyui, and Asuka, which Fate also wins. Tsuruno, refusing to let age be a barrier, recruits Masara and Natsuki for a final match against Fate&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match comes down to a intense showdown between Fate and Tsuruno, both catching and returning each other&#039;s throws with increasing speed and power. Fate ultimately outmaneuvers Tsuruno by throwing to Nanoha and leaping into the air for the winning strike. Everyone celebrates the friendly tournament and the new friendships formed across different cities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the tournament progresses, Team Nanoha easily advances through early rounds with Fate&#039;s incredible speed, though Momoko notices Hayate and Nanoha have yet to reveal their full power. Elsewhere, Mitama learns that Momoko announced her team would break up if they lost not because Kaede is useless but to show their conviction, though both Kaede and Rena had doubts. The tournament continues until four teams remain, with Team Momoko advancing to the finals through clever strategy and Team Nanoha defeating Team Masara to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match begins with Fate and Rena clashing in a battle of speed that seemingly knocks both out, leaving Nanoha and Hayate to face Momoko and Kaede. Hayate fuses with Reinforce Zwei and unleashes Ragnarok to take out Kaede, then joins Nanoha against Momoko, who withstands Nanoha&#039;s Starlight Breaker as both girls stand exhausted. Before a winner can be decided, Lindy contacts Nanoha with an emergency: a fugitive illegally opened a rift between worlds, and the Mirror copy of Shizuku appears nearby, having used her powers to connect the Mirror labyrinth to Uminary City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The copy stole the tournament&#039;s grand prize, a special orb that exponentially increases magical power, and the girls call off the match to track her down. Team Nanoha and Team Momoko catch the copy, but after they defeat her, copies of Hayate, Fate, and Nanoha appear and swallow the broken orb pieces, gaining immense power. All the Magical Girls unite to take down the powered-up copies, and through combined efforts they finally delete the magical signatures. With the tunnel between worlds about to collapse, Mitama declares both teams winners, and the girls exchange heartfelt goodbyes before the Nanoha trio returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day in Kamihama, Kaede realizes her texts to Hayate no longer go through, Momoko cannot reach Nanoha or Fate, and Rena cannot find Uminary City on any map. Mitama and Shizuku conclude the girls must have come from a different world entirely, since they needed a space tunnel to travel rather than a simple train ride. Though Kaede is sad they may never meet again, Rena is grateful for the friendship they formed, and the three resolve to work hard for a future rematch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Asuka finds herself in a cloud-filled void facing a shadowy version of herself who claims to be the hidden part of Asuka&#039;s heart. The shadow declares Asuka is no longer fit to practice Ryushin-ryu because her blade has been sullied by contracting as a Magical Girl. When Asuka protests, the shadow recounts how Asuka wished for her cousin to become a police officer after his dreams were jeopardized by their uncle&#039;s arrest, arguing that twisting fate with magic was selfish and wrong. The shadow insists that with her heart no longer true, Asuka walks a false path and should abandon her school, urging her to die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her despair, Asuka remembers her father&#039;s words about asking her own heart what is right, like water filling a square bowl. She tells the shadow that perceptions of right and wrong can change with the situation, and though she cannot refute the shadow&#039;s claims, she knows her heart believed her actions were just. Believing words alone cannot reach the shadow, Asuka challenges her to a fight to prove her blade&#039;s strength reflects her sincere heart. The shadow warns that slaying her means slaying herself, but Asuka declares she fears being untrue to herself more than death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their swords clash, and after a long battle, the shadow succumbs to Asuka&#039;s attack and acknowledges her blade was as pure as her heart. The shadow warns she may return in a different form if Asuka&#039;s heart becomes stained again, then vanishes. Asuka awakens near a pond deep in the forest, where she had gone to meditate as part of her training. She remembers the shadow&#039;s promise and considers asking Mitama what it all meant, but feels her father&#039;s words have been engraved in her more deeply now. With her resolve unwavering, she runs back to the dojo, taking a straight path out of the woods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka awakens to find herself in a strange, cloud-filled void. A shadowy copy of herself appears, introducing itself as the part of her she has suppressed deep within her heart. The shadow urges Nanaka to end her pursuit of vengeance, calling it a fruitless endeavor that changes nothing. Nanaka refuses, explaining that the act of revenge itself holds meaning for her, not the result. The shadow questions where vengeance has led her: a life of constant danger in an endless struggle against Witches. Nanaka admits there is nothing to gain from her actions, but her conviction remains unshakable. The shadow then accuses Nanaka of dragging Akira, Kako, and Meiyui into her vengeance, using them to fulfill her goals. Nanaka acknowledges this truth but insists she would never throw their lives away. She believes fate brought them together to fight a common enemy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka recalls the moments before she lost consciousness. Her team had cornered a Witch, but it disappeared and reappeared near a weakened Kako. Nanaka leaped in to shield her, and Akira and Meiyui joined the fight. The shadow suggests Nanaka protected Kako to redeem herself, but Nanaka denies this. The shadow warns it will continue watching from the depths of her heart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka awakens to find her teammates standing over her, relieved she is alive. The Witch is defeated. Nanaka tells Kako not to worry about anything, as they are teammates. Meiyui finds her choice of words unusual, but Akira insists Nanaka see Mitama for a checkup. Kako thanks Nanaka for protecting her. Nanaka smiles, thinking to herself that each of them is their own flower, supporting one another through their shared fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis====&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha announces that a cafe Yachiyo frequents has opened a new location near Mikazuki Villa, and the group decides to visit on opening day. They arrive to find it is actually a Curry House CoCo Ichibanya, and Yachiyo passionately explains the menu options as they wait for the store to open.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the store opens early, the employee announces they cannot open today due to a missing delivery truck carrying ingredients. The employee breaks down in tears, explaining her family came to see her first store opening. The group notices magical energy emanating from the store and decides to help find the truck, promising to return for curry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They investigate at the last store the truck visited. The employee there confirms the truck is missing but provides spare ingredients and explains that stores support each other in times of trouble. The group splits into two teams: one to gather ingredients from other stores, and one to trace the truck&#039;s route. During coordination, they learn a second CoCoIchi truck has also gone missing on the same road.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While gathering ingredients, Tsuruno&#039;s group encounters a lost, hungry girl who flees upon hearing CoCoIchi and nearly crashes into Sana. Afterward, Sana realizes the employee at the new store could see her despite her invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s group follows the road where both trucks disappeared and finds a Witch&#039;s barrier. Inside, they find both trucks and their drivers. Iroha and Ui engage the Witch&#039;s familiars while Yachiyo secures the drivers. Iroha realizes the Witch is targeting the cargo, so she throws curry ingredients at it, causing the Witch to abandon the fight and allowing them to defeat it easily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno calls with urgent news that the store employee is a Magical Girl, her missing little sister is also a Magical Girl, and she has not been able to contact her since yesterday. The group fears the curry-loving Witch they just defeated was the sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the new store, where the employee is preparing their reward curry. Before Iroha can confess, a girl rushes in calling for her sister. It is the employee&#039;s little sister, alive and well. The group realizes the Witch was simply a curry-loving Witch unrelated to the sister. They finally sit down to enjoy the promised curry together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui====&lt;br /&gt;
* Meiyui&#039;s family is helping organize a local event when a stranger stabs one of their members and flees, dropping a badge. Meiyui chooses to tend to the victim rather than give chase, despite his protests that she is being too soft.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many in the organization want revenge, but Meiyui refuses, not wanting to return to their old ways as an evil organization. The members are reluctant to involve the police due to being falsely accused of murder three years prior. Meiyui had contracted with Kyubey back then to expose the truth with her wish, but lingering distrust remains.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui goes alone to track the culprit. The dropped badge leads her to an abandoned company tied to illegal labor her family had helped shut down. After defeating a stray Witch, she is ambushed and kidnapped by a man with a taser.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She wakes handcuffed alongside about ten others. The kidnappers reveal the badge was a trap to lure her. They include a former police officer who had fabricated evidence against her family and associates of the real murderer from that case, all blaming the Blue Seas for ruining their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her Soul Gem is heavily tainted from the Witch fight, and she begins hearing her Doppel&#039;s voice. In a cloudy void, her shadow self insists she should have killed these enemies when she had the chance, arguing her organization cannot survive without dirtying their hands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Meiyui struggles to stay conscious, she uses her last energy to beg the culprits to leave her family alone, insisting they are not a bad group. The stabber dismisses her pleas and suggests killing her as a warning instead. Her Doppel mocks her, saying evil people will always exist no matter how sincerely she tries to live righteously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, her organization members arrive to rescue her. The stabbed victim is among them, now grateful Meiyui had stayed to help him instead of chasing revenge. He admits he used to believe abandoning burdens was the way of the world, but facing death alone showed him he was wrong. He is alive because of Meiyui&#039;s strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hearing this, Meiyui&#039;s mind clears. In the void, her Doppel asks if she is ready to kill them, but Meiyui rejects violence entirely. The Doppel submits, allowing her to put everyone in the area to sleep without bloodshed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The police soon arrive after the kidnapper, persuaded by Meiyui, confesses over the phone. They find several family members asleep everywhere and note a look of complete relief on Meiyui&#039;s sleeping face.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Little Bird&#039;s Star====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe and other Black Feathers are in Fendt Hope, commiserating about their weakness. A White Feather had to bail them out after they were followed by a Witch while delivering a parcel from Mitama&#039;s shop. They discuss Yachiyo Nanami, a veteran Magical Girl who destroys Uwasas.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu and Nemu emerge from a room arguing. Nemu dismisses Mifuyu and approaches the Black Feathers with a request. She asks them to investigate the &amp;quot;Uwasa of the Jealous Coward,&amp;quot; also called the &amp;quot;Green-Eyed Coward.&amp;quot; Kuroe hesitates but agrees when Nemu insists she has the aptitude.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group investigates an area with many students but cannot find the Uwasa. The other Black Feathers leave for personal commitments. Kuroe stays, feeling she has nothing to return to. The Uwasa manifests when Kuroe expresses envy toward the other girls&#039; normal lives. Two Black Feathers are knocked unconscious. Nemu is satisfied with the results and tasks Kuroe with investigating more Uwasas starting tomorrow. Kuroe protests but Nemu leaves before she can refuse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1744.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1743.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The Amane twins, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo, meet Kuroe at Fendt Hope and they begin investigating Uwasas in Sakae Ward but find nothing. They move to Hokuyo Ward. Kuroe notices a missing cat poster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They sense Yachiyo&#039;s group nearby and flee. Yachiyo and Iroha corner Kuroe. The twins escape. Yachiyo interrogates Kuroe. An Uwasa resembling Kuroe appears and attacks, then disappears. Yachiyo accuses Kuroe of controlling it. Kuroe insists she had no knowledge of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo decides to take Kuroe camping to monitor her. At the campground, the Amane twins briefly contact Kuroe and say they will consult Nemu, so Kuroe resolves to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe helps Iroha gather firewood. Iroha is scared by a caterpillar and Kuroe removes it. Kuroe introduces herself by name. She helps the group set up their tent and prepare lunch, using skills learned from Wings of Magius training. She reminds herself not to get drawn into their warm atmosphere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mentions a waterfall power spot. Kuroe offers to get water. Iroha accompanies her. They get lost. A woman helps Kuroe find the waterfall and gives her an empty bottle. The woman explains the place is her personal power spot for resetting her mind. Kuroe wishes she had strength to face the future. The Uwasa appears and attacks the woman. Iroha arrives and finds the woman unconscious. Kuroe begs Iroha for help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe carries the unconscious woman back to the campsite. The Amane twins inform her that Nemu says she is possessed by the Uwasa and should stay with Yachiyo&#039;s group. Yachiyo warns that if more casualties occur, she will destroy the Uwasa. Iroha suggests keeping Kuroe for observation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group participates in a stamp rally and Iroha and Kuroe pair up. They discover they are both from Takarazaki. Iroha explains she moved to Kamihama to find her missing sister. Suddenly, a Witch appears and Kuroe and Iroha fight it together. Kuroe acts as a decoy while Iroha defeats the Witch. Kuroe feels inadequate compared to Iroha&#039;s courage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe asks for time alone and she reflects on her fears and envy. The Uwasa appears again, resembling Kuroe. The group fights it and Iroha urges Kuroe to destroy the Uwasa. Kuroe admits she is afraid she cannot be herself, so she and Iroha destroy the Uwasa together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amane twins inform Kuroe they must report the Uwasa&#039;s destruction, yet Kuroe does not regret it. Iroha asks to talk with Kuroe and Yachiyo offers them tea. Kuroe admits she feels safe with the Wings of Magius because they represent hope for her. Iroha accepts this and Kuroe tells Iroha she wants to be like her someday. They part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe finds the missing cat and returns it to its owner, who is overjoyed. Kuroe realizes she saved someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe reports to Nemu and Mifuyu. Nemu reveals the Uwasa summons itself based on dissatisfaction and envy. Nemu admits she expected Yachiyo&#039;s group to handle an accident with the Uwasa. However, Nemu is satisfied that she now has more research on fusing Uwasa with Magical Girls, however Mifuyu warns Nemu not to experiment on the Feathers. Kuroe realizes that even the Magius are imperfect and she reflects on her long day. She resolves to do her best, one step at a time, and hopes to see Iroha again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 7th==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia and Sana decide to buy matching coasters as a gift for Yachiyo, to show their appreciation, and after some searching, they find a suitable set.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: Memories That Reveal the Truth]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 8th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the plan to present the gift is interrupted when Mifuyu Azusa arrives at the villa before Yachiyo returns home. The girls&#039; plan was for Iroha to wait inside while the others came from outside to surprise Yachiyo. Mifuyu prepares tea and reveals one of the two mugs on the top shelf, which Yachiyo forbade Iroha from using, belongs to her. Mifuyu invites Iroha to a lecture hosted by the Wings of the Magius to explain their goal of &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls. The lecture is scheduled for two days later at the Memory Museum and Iroha agrees to investigate the Rumor about the museum first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo returns home and is visibly distressed to find Mifuyu there. Mifuyu leaves, asking Iroha to inform the others about the lecture. Before finally leaving, Mifuyu returns to speak to Yachiyo privately. She references a &amp;quot;promise&amp;quot; they made a year ago, and accuses Yachiyo of returning to her old ways. Yachiyo insists her relationship with Iroha and the others is &amp;quot;just cooperating.&amp;quot; Yachiyo retreats to her room without receiving the coasters. That night, Yachiyo reflects on her past, resolving to return to the person she once was.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 9th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the lecture, Iroha is unable to give Yachiyo the coasters due to Yachiyo&#039;s low spirits. Iroha discusses her plan to attend the Wings of the Magius lecture with Madoka Kaname via text. Iroha then attempts to investigate the Rumor of the Memory Museum. Yachiyo claims no knowledge of it and leaves for school. Iroha and Momoko ask Mitama, who refuses to share information to maintain her neutrality. After the visit, Mitama has a separate conversation with Momoko about Momoko&#039;s own secret, advising her to tell her friends the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede and Rena help Iroha by summoning the creature that recites the Rumor of the Memory Museum, which allows people to view researched memories. Tsuruno&#039;s father provides the location of the similar-sounding &amp;quot;Kamihama Memorial Museum.&amp;quot; That evening, Yachiyo refuses to join the investigation, reiterating that her relationship with the others is strictly professional, which saddens Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Saturday, the 10th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the lecture, Yachiyo again refuses to go to the museum and Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana go to the Kamihama Memorial Museum without her. There, they are greeted by Touka Satomi, who reveals herself as one of the three Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently at Mikazuki, Yachiyo, haunted by memories of past friends, decides she must investigate the Memory Museum herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Touka throne 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka Satomi gives them a lecture titled &amp;quot;The Truth Behind Magical Girls.&amp;quot; She presents three key items through illustrative stories:&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 1: Soul Gems. A story reveals that a Soul Gem is a Magical Girl&#039;s actual soul. Using magic consumes this life force, and if the gem shatters, the Magical Girl dies. Touka uses an analogy of an internal vs. external battery to explain Soul Gems and Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 2: Witches. A second story demonstrates that when a Magical Girl&#039;s Soul Gem becomes fully corrupted, she transforms into a Witch. This revelation traumatizes Felicia, who realizes the Witches she has been killing were once Magical Girls and that she herself is destined to become one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 3: Doppels. A third story explains that in Kamihama City, a fully corrupted Soul Gem can manifest a &amp;quot;Doppel&amp;quot; instead of a Witch. The Wings of the Magius present this as the key to &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls from their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* To prove their claims, Touka and Mifuyu Azusa activate the Memory Museum&#039;s Rumor. Mifuyu presents a book containing her own memories, inviting the group to witness the truth of the lecture firsthand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo arrives at the museum and confronts Touka. She is shown into the memory dimension where Iroha and the others are and Mifuyu activates the Rumor, forcing the group to relive her memories. The memories depict Yachiyo&#039;s former team, Mikazuki Villa:&lt;br /&gt;
** The first memory shows Kanae Yukino sacrificing herself to reveal a Witch&#039;s weakness. Her uninjured body is found next to her shattered Soul Gem, proving the Soul Gem is the Magical Girl&#039;s life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second memory shows Mel Anna using too much magic to protect Yachiyo. With no Grief Seed to purify her fully corrupted Soul Gem, Mel transforms into a Witch before the team&#039;s eyes, confirming Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The third memory shows Mifuyu&#039;s despair six months after Mel&#039;s death, causing her Soul Gem to corrupt fully. Instead of becoming a Witch, she manifests a Doppel. Touka then appears and recruits her into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno is consumed by guilt over Mel&#039;s death, believing her absence that day was the cause. Felicia is horrified, realizing the Witches she killed were Magical Girls and Sana is terrified but feels powerless to change the system. Touka and Mifuyu use this emotional vulnerability to press their recruitment offers to each girl, promising a world where these tragedies are impossible and even suggesting Sana could be freed from her wish of invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo reject the offer to join and Yachiyo compares the Magius&#039; methods to Kyubey&#039;s, accusing them of exploiting weaknesses. Yachiyo then announces she is disbanding their team, which Iroha protests, but Yachiyo insists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka reveals that Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana have been brainwashed and now serve the Wings of the Magius. Alina Gray arrives and traps Iroha and Yachiyo within her Labyrinth and leaves them to face a Witch. As they fight the Witch, Yachiyo reiterates her decision to disband the team and work alone. She reveals her wish was &amp;quot;I want to survive,&amp;quot; and explains that she interprets this as a curse: the power to survive by sacrificing her teammates, based on the last words of her former comrades, Kanae and Mel, who both died while she lived. Yachiyo believes that to protect Iroha, she must sever their partnership.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha rejects Yachiyo&#039;s conclusion. She declares she will defeat the Uwasa alone to prove Yachiyo&#039;s &amp;quot;curse&amp;quot; is not real and that she can protect Yachiyo. Iroha states she is angry that Yachiyo made this decision for everyone and vows to rescue their brainwashed friends. She defeats the Witch and rejects Yachiyo&#039;s belief in a cursed wish and declares herself the new leader to nullify its perceived effect. Yachiyo relents and agrees to work with Iroha to save their friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the same time, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, having detected Mami&#039;s magic while investigating Kamihama, investigate the closed Kamihama Recording Museum. They are attacked by the Wings of the Magius. While Madoka and Homura hold them off, Sayaka proceeds and witnesses Mami, transformed into &amp;quot;Holy Mami,&amp;quot; attacking Iroha and Yachiyo. It is here that Sayaka learns the horrific truth that Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: A Stand-Off With Fate]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, now a brainwashed member of the Wings of the Magius, confronts them. As Iroha and Yachiyo are too injured to fight, Sayaka Miki arrives and intervenes. Sayaka uses a bomb from Homura to create a diversion, allowing the three to escape.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After their escape, Sayaka gives Iroha a Grief Seed. Iroha explains the truth about Witches and the Wings of the Magius to Sayaka, who is horrified. Sayaka leaves to process this information and Iroha and Yachiyo walk home in silence to reflect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After fleeing the museum, Sayaka reunites with Madoka and Homura, defeats their pursuers in a distraught state, and explains what happened to Mami to them, as well as the truth about becoming Witches.The group returns to Mitakihara in silence but Madoka resolves to find a way to avoid their fate and to save Mami. Sayaka agrees to fight back as well and later decides to meet with Kyoko Sakura.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, at Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo reaffirm their commitment to save their friends and Momoko arrives, having told the secret of Magical Girls to Rena and Kaede. Yachiyo also apologizes for her actions and explains her fears about her wish. Momoko forgives her and reaffirms their friendship. Iroha then receives a text from Madoka, who promises to come to Kamihama to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Sayaka meets Kyoko and reveals the truth about Witches. Kyoko deduces this is what the Wings of the Magius meant by &amp;quot;saving&amp;quot; Magical Girls. Kyoko declares she will find a way to avoid becoming a Witch and confront the Wings of the Magius alone, rejecting Sayaka&#039;s offer of help. Despite Sayaka&#039;s protests, Kyoko leaves to operate solo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Likely during this time, Yachiyo pulls out a box containing what her former friends Kanae Yukino and Mel Anna left behind. She has never opened it since filling it and spends the entire day staring at it, unable to lift the lid. When Iroha arrives and asks about it, Yachiyo explains and admits she is trying to work through her feelings. Iroha offers to help, but Yachiyo deflects, reminding her they were supposed to visit Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls visit Mitama Yakumo and present Grief Seeds as payment for adjustment. Mitama is surprised by the offering and promises to do her best, but she expresses concern about Yachiyo&#039;s emotional state. She suggests Yachiyo clear up her issues with the box before moving forward and offers to adjust both girls at once as a special exception.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Mitama works on her, Yachiyo finds herself in a gray room confronted by a shadowy doppelganger. The shadow accuses her of being afraid of the future and clinging to the past. When Yachiyo refuses to give in to despair, the shadow transforms into her doppel, but she stands firm, accepting her fear while choosing to move forward. Iroha appears beside her, and together they bid farewell to visions of Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo awakens and realizes Mitama adjusted them together intentionally, trusting Iroha could help her if needed. She thanks Mitama for looking out for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at her house, Yachiyo finally opens the box with Iroha beside her. Inside, Kanae left a book of lyrics about becoming a circle with others, and Mel left fortune telling impressions predicting a future where many magical girls would gather in Kamihama. Yachiyo cries as she reads their words. Iroha suggests they head toward that gentle future together. Yachiyo agrees but says first they need to get back their own three points: Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha resolves to find her lost friends and mentally tells Ui to wait a bit longer. Iroha and Yachiyo finish cleaning their house. Iroha resolves to give the coasters she and the others bought for Yachiyo when everyone is reunited.

&lt;br /&gt;
* Immediately after Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana are taken, Mifuyu reports to Touka and Alina that the brainwashing on the three is holding, so Touka selects Tsuruno for a mission, which Alina states will involve &amp;quot;mass murder.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Sunday, the 11th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo investigate the Kamihama Rumor Files at Mikazuki Villa. Iroha recognizes some of the Rumors. They meet with Momoko, who mentions Tsuruno&#039;s perfect school attendance record is now broken and that a new amusement park is also opening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo visit Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant and her father reveals Tsuruno and Felicia visited once. Tsuruno told him she found a place where she feels safe and would not return and he notes her expression was blank, similar to how she looked a year ago after Mel&#039;s death. Afterwards, a White Feather ambushes Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will be used for a mission like Tsuruno, and the two fight off the attacker.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Monday, the 12th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo devise a plan to destroy Rumors across Kamihama to lure out the Wings of the Magius and locate their base. They share this plan with Momoko, who offers to help by getting Grief Seeds for them while they hunt. Momoko then goes to check on Kaede, who is hiding in her room. She hugs Kaede and tells her she and Rena will always be there to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo systematically hunt Rumors like the &amp;quot;Historical Battle Marker,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Castle Town Illusion,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Headless Biker Gang,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Puzzle Tiles Lock,&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;Fashion Monster.&amp;quot; They also interrogate captured Feathers, but none reveal information about Tsuruno, Felicia, or Sana&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Momoko investigates a rapidly spreading rumor about a new amusement park. She notes it originated in the east and spread west through Sakae, Mizuna, and Shinsei Wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha and Yachiyo analyze the Kamihama Rumor Files, marking all known Rumor locations on a map. They identify a pattern: Rumors cluster more densely in Shinsei Ward, with a notable concentration around Satomi Medical Center, the hospital where Ui was supposedly treated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They travel to the hospital area and are ambushed by Feathers. Felicia and Sana, who had broken free of the brainwashing, arrive and help fight off the attackers. The four Magical Girls reunite and Felicia and Sana reveal they pretended to be brainwashed to gather information. Momoko confirms the amusement park rumor spread from east to west and will open at dawn in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Sana explain to Yachiyo and Iroha that Mifuyu used her illusion magic to break their brainwashing. Mifuyu revealed the Magius are protecting and strengthening Witches for their liberation plan and are planning to use the brainwashed Magical Girls to cross a dangerous line. Mifuyu attempted to free Tsuruno but failed, as Tsuruno&#039;s reason for being brainwashed was different. Mifuyu then helped Felicia and Sana escape but chose to remain behind, stating they would be enemies next time they meet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko arrives and shares her investigation into a new Rumor about an amusement park opening at dawn in two days. She confirms it spread from the east, and the group overlays the Rumor locations on a map and identifies a pattern suggesting a source or &amp;quot;eye of the storm&amp;quot; in the eastern wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kanagi screenshot.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo decides to contact Kanagi Izumi, the powerful Magical Girl who controls the eastern Daito and Kosho Wards and is a former rival of hers. Kanagi agrees to an alliance, and during their call, Tsukasa of the Wings of the Magius arrives at Kanagi&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tuesday, the 13th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The morning, Felicia and Sana try to accompany Iroha and Yachiyo but are told to rest due to their collapse the previous night. Iroha and Yachiyo leave them behind. Meanwhile in Kosho Ward, Iroha, Yachiyo, Momoko, and Kanagi meet and Kanagi agrees to ally with them against the Wings of the Magius. They combine their Rumor data on a map, which reveals a circular pattern with a vacant center in Kosho Ward and Kanagi identifies the old railway yard as the likely location of the Wings&#039; base.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After learning the truth about Witches, Madoka questions Kyubey about a way to avoid becoming a Witch. Kyubey states he knows of no method and reveals he cannot enter Kamihama City himself. He proposes an alliance to investigate the Wings of the Magius but Madoka refuses to promise cooperation. She resolves to return to Kamihama with her friends, but then a Witch from Kamihama appears in Mitakihara.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 7: Eve of the Awakening]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura defeat the Kamihama Witch. They share Grief Seeds and note the alarming appearance of foreign Witches in their city. The trio resolves to go to Kamihama the next day to find answers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Around this time, Kyoko successfully infiltrates the Wings of the Magius. She is assigned to a team tasked with dealing with a group that erases Rumors, which she suspects is Iroha&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s group travels to the railway yard but finds it empty. They are ambushed by Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who summon Witches and during the battle, Kanagi uses her unique power to read Iroha&#039;s true intentions and confirms her sincerity. Kanagi then joins the fight and helps defeat the Amane sisters and their Black Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi uses her power on the defeated Amane sisters to read their minds and she learns that Tsuruno is still completely brainwashed and has become part of an Uwasa to protect it. She also learns Tsuruno&#039;s location is at the Ferris Wheel Field in Daito Ward and the group prepares to move out immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Sana and Felicia wait anxiously and Yachiyo calls them with an update.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Rena visits Kaede at her house, and after an argument involving slapping and pinching, Kaede reconciles with Rena and agrees to return to school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team arrives in Daito Ward, where Yachiyo and Iroha plan to enter the &amp;quot;amusement park&amp;quot; Rumor to save Tsuruno, while Felicia, Sana, Momoko, and Kanagi hold off the Wings of the Magius. The group locates the Rumor&#039;s entrance and Kanagi and Momoko stay behind to fight the Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo proceed and confront Alina, Touka, and Mifuyu, where Alina declares her intent to erase them. During the battle, Mifuyu secretly tells Yachiyo that destroying the main Uwasa will kill Tsuruno, and that they must instead tear the Uwasa from her by connecting with her heart. Mifuyu also reveals Tsuruno is in a Ferris wheel car.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101705 uwasatsuruno.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo enter the Rumor, &amp;quot;Chelation Land,&amp;quot; which induces a hazy, thoughtless state. They find Tsuruno, who has fully merged with the Uwasa and acts as the park&#039;s host. Tsuruno tries to force them to relax and stay, serving them hotpot in mugs reminiscent of Mikazuki Villa, but they refuse and attempt to reason with Tsuruno, and she attacks them. Following Mifuyu&#039;s advice, they combine their magic to tear the Uwasa from Tsuruno in one powerful strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nemu02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After Tsuruno is freed from the Uwasa, Yachiyo realizes that Tsuruno&#039;s cheerful demeanor was a facade to hide her pain and guilt over past events, including the death of Mel. The team defeats the main Uwasa of Chelation Land and the Magius, Touka, Nemu Hiiragi, and Alina, confront the group. Nemu reveals she is the &amp;quot;Creator&amp;quot; of all the Rumors in Kamihama and the Magius explain their goal: to use the energy generated by Rumors and Witches to hatch &amp;quot;Embryo Eve,&amp;quot; a being that will liberate all Magical Girls worldwide from the fate of becoming Witches. They state the phenomenon requires the presence of all three Magius and a massive energy source, for which they have used the people of Kamihama and the teams part ways in opposition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 14th==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101701 coaster02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, at Mikazuki Villa, the team summarizes the Magius&#039; plan and that Kamihama is an incubator for Embryo Eve. They resolve to stop the Magius due to the plan&#039;s high human cost and the group gives Yachiyo the set of sakura blossom-themed coasters as a symbol of their team unity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka are separately attacked by multiple Kamihama Witches in Mitakihara before reuniting. They realize the Witch incursion is a coordinated attack meant to prevent them from leaving Mitakihara. Their magic and Grief Seed reserves are heavily depleted in the constant battles.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the ongoing Witch attacks, the trio is overwhelmed by a powerful Witch and is forced to retreat. Sayaka breaks down, admitting her terror of becoming a Witch and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka share their fears and resolve to face the threat together. They are observed by Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, who imply the attack is part of their plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Fendt Hope, Kyoko, having gained the trust of her unit, is taken on a tour of the Wings of the Magius headquarters by her White Feather superior.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, the three defeat the Feathers sent to observe them, and after interrogating them, they receive a message from Iroha about how to save Mami. Holy Mami arrives to Mitakihara and reveals she brought the Witches to Mitakihara to keep the three of them &amp;quot;safe,&amp;quot; and insists the Magius will save them. Alina Gray also appears and traps Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka in a Barrier, which Mami seals with her ribbons.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her infiltration, Kyoko is taken to Hotel Fenthope by Mifuyu Azusa. She confronts Holy Mami, accusing her of not being the real Mami Tomoe. Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi arrive and reinforce the Rumor brainwashing on Mami. Mifuyu secretly escorts Kyoko away and reveals the Magius&#039; plans: they are using a mysterious entity called &amp;quot;Eve&amp;quot; to liberate Magical Girls and are deliberately bringing Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama to hatch it. Horrified, Kyoko rejects the Magius and is led out of the city by Mifuyu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Once More From Here]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko arrives in Mitakihara and frees Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka from Alina&#039;s Barrier. She explains the Magius&#039; plan to bring Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama and Homura urges the group to stay in Mitakihara for safety. Kyoko departs alone, later resolving to return and crush the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Iroha has a sudden memory flashback to the hospital, triggered by the word &amp;quot;sakura.&amp;quot; She remembers a story she, Ui, Touka, and Nemu created about the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot; She deduces this Rumor is real and located at the hospital, and that all the Rumors were created there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Touka and Nemu observe that Embryo Eve has reached a critical state and they confirm that a legendary, cross-dimensional event they foresaw: the arrival of Walpurgisnacht, will provide the final, massive energy surge needed to hatch Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo calls a meeting with the Mikazuki Villa household, Tsuruno, and the Momoko trio to share her concern that rumors persist even after they defeat the Uwasa themselves. The group splits up to investigate whether the original Uwasa have truly vanished or transformed into something new.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Hereafter]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko, Kaede, and Rena investigate the Breakup Staircase and find only scattered internet gossip remains. During their search, lingering tensions surface over Rena&#039;s painful memories of when Kaede was kidnapped by that Uwasa, but the trio ultimately reconciles and continues working together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno visit Mizuna Shrine, where the Séance Shrine Uwasa has transformed into a popular spot for relationship prayers with new mascots. They encounter a grieving girl who comes daily to pray for her deceased friend, and Yachiyo is reminded of her own departed companions Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Felicia track down the man behind the revived Misery Water rumor, who confesses he was scammed into buying the water and cannot bring himself to deceive others. Felicia helps him find honest work, and the rumors die out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana investigates an online forum where troubled users make veiled threats, but the rumor fades without incident. Tsuruno and Iroha check Chelation Land, where Tsuruno reflects on her past brainwashing and muses about whether some Uwasa exist independently of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The groups reconvene and report that all investigated rumors have left minimal traces. Yachiyo concludes their investigation of the Uwasa is complete, and only the Wings of Magius themselves remain to be confronted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voices from Beyond, Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the afterlife, Mel Anna meets Kanae Yukino, another Magical Girl ghost who also died fighting a Witch. Mel is thrilled to discover they were both on a team with Yachiyo Nanami and calls Kanae her senpai. Kanae takes Mel to a ghost cafe where deceased Magical Girls gather, explaining they cannot interact with the living world except through psychics.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Voices From Beyond]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they wander Kamihama, Mel notices Witch numbers rising dramatically and worries about Yachiyo. They follow Yachiyo and are relieved to find she has new companions in Iroha Tamaki and others, though they remain concerned about their former teammate Mifuyu&#039;s absence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, they watch helplessly as Yachiyo battles the Wings of Magius and eventually enters the Memory Museum, where she relives the trauma of losing Mel and Kanae. When Yachiyo dissolves her team afterward, convinced her magic causes others to die for her, the ghosts desperately try to reach her. Kanae notices Yachiyo kept their mementos: Mel&#039;s fortune log and Kanae&#039;s notebook. They focus their thoughts on these items, and that night, Yachiyo discovers their messages—Kanae&#039;s lyrics about forming a circle and Mel&#039;s fortune predicting the current events. Grateful, she resolves to move forward. Their successful contact gets their ghost licenses suspended, and they watch Yachiyo&#039;s dream of their encounter before fading.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 15th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius initiate a city-wide offensive, unleashing powerful Witches and sending brainwashed Black and White Feathers to indiscriminately attack other Magical Girls. Mami delivers a declaration of war to Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will no longer delay their plan for &amp;quot;freedom.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Kamihama, Painted in Fiction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magical Girls of Kamihama form a coordinated response and Yachiyo&#039;s team devises a strategy: first, eliminate the unleashed Witches; second, protect other Magical Girls and direct them to Mitama&#039;s shop as a safe haven; third, deal with the rampaging Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, recalling the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; in Hokuyo Ward, theorizes it could be the location of the Magius&#039; hidden base. Yachiyo approves Iroha and Sana to investigate this lead separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next several hours, the teams execute the plan. Yachiyo rescues Ren from a Black Feather and escorts her to Mitama&#039;s shop. Kaede Afinds Konomi protecting an injured Kako; together they defeat a Witch and get Kako to safety. Rena aids Asuka and Sasara, later teaming with Ria and Manaka to defeat a Witch. Momoko and Aimi rescue Kokoro and Masara from Feathers. Tsuruno works with Hinano to eliminate a Witch and warns her about the Feathers. Felicia fights alongside Akira and Nanaka&#039;s group, eventually reuniting with Tsuruno. Kanagi protects Himika from Feathers and sends her to Mitama&#039;s. Yachiyo and Kanagi also rescue Riko and Ayaka from Feather attacks and track the enemy to a heliport. Yachiyo, Kanagi, Momoko&#039;s team, and Tsuruno&#039;s team successfully clear the city of the powerful Witches and they rescue and guide numerous Magical Girls to Mitama&#039;s shop. Momoko confronts Mitama, challenging her to abandon her neutral stance and Mitama agrees to allow her shop to be used as a headquarters and to share her knowledge about the Magius&#039; plans.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama reveals the truth that Magical Girls are destined to become Witches, and that the Magius aim to use the energy from Embryo Eve to spread the Doppel phenomenon worldwide, preventing this fate. However, their methods involve sacrificing the citizens of Kamihama and other Magical Girls to gather this energy, so the Magical Girls at the shelter decide to join the fight against the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, in Chuo Ward, Yachiyo and Kanagi are ambushed by Mami and a horde of brainwashed Feathers at the Kamihama Central Tower heliport. The battle is difficult due to the Feathers&#039; numbers and Mami&#039;s enhanced power from the Uwasa. Kanagi reads Mami&#039;s mind and finds her personality has been completely overwritten by the Uwasa&#039;s influence, leaving only her devotion to the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia then arrive as reinforcements and during the fight, a Black Feather loses her &amp;quot;Receiver Pendant.&amp;quot; Kanagi reads this Feather&#039;s mind, uncovering that the Feathers&#039; berserk state is caused by the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Receiver Pendant,&amp;quot; which numbs their emotions and forces them to obey the Magius&#039; orders. The memory also reveals the three Magius orchestrating the attack to harvest emotional energy from the chaos, believing it will bring their utopia closer. The Feather who lost her pendant then begins to regain her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team battles the brainwashed Mami and the Wings of the Magius. With the help of Momoko&#039;s team and Kanagi&#039;s ability to read the enemy&#039;s weakness, they remove the Uwasa from Mami, freeing her from its control. Mami collapses from exhaustion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Homura pleads with Madoka and Sayaka not to go to Kamihama, fearing for their lives against Walpurgisnacht. After initial hesitation, Madoka and Sayaka resolve to go and Homura agrees to accompany them. The trio leaves for Kamihama but cannot contact Iroha Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Upon arriving in Kamihama, the three are attacked by brainwashed Black Feathers in Sakae Ward, but the Feathers suddenly regain their senses and flee. The trio pursues them into Central Ward and meets Kanoko Yayoi, Karin Misono, and Natsuki Utsuho. They learn that other Magical Girls are gathering at Mitama Yakumo&#039;s office and Karin reveals she saw Nanaka Tokiwa carrying an unconscious Mami there. The group goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds Mami, who has been freed from the Magius&#039; control and awakens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius then execute their plan: they cause a city-wide blackout and seize control of Kamihama&#039;s radio waves and power grid. They use Nemu&#039;s power to project a false utopia over the city, attracting Witches, and Touka&#039;s power to send a signal that summons the legendary Witch, Walpurgisnacht. Their goal is to use the chaos and emotional energy to hatch &amp;quot;Eve.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana infiltrate the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; Labyrinth, initially having their presence hidden due to Sana&#039;s unique magic. There, Iroha confronts Touka and Nemu, using the Uwasa itself as proof that her memories of their shared past with Ui are real. Despite this, Touka and Nemu don&#039;t believe her and refuse to halt their plans. Alina arrives, captures Iroha, and takes her to their main base, Hotel Fendt Hope. Afterwards, Sana escapes and informs Yachiyo&#039;s arriving team of Iroha&#039;s capture.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Mitama reveals she previously supplied the Wings with Grief Seeds in exchange for neutrality but has now chosen to side with Yachiyo&#039;s team against them. Mami herself awakens, now having reconciled with her inner turmoil. Now, Yachiyo&#039;s team, reinforced by Momoko&#039;s team and Mami, prepares to assault Hotel Fendt Hope to rescue Iroha and stop the Magius before Walpurgisnacht arrives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, freed from the Uwasa&#039;s influence, resolves to expose the Magius&#039; true plans to the Feathers and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka decide to support her instead of joining Iroha&#039;s group. Nanaka and her team escort them to the heliport and during the journey, Mami explains to Nanaka that the Feathers&#039; loyalty was placed not in the Magius themselves, but in Mifuyu Azusa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the heliport, Mami arrives where the exhausted Feathers and Kamihama Magical Girls are at a stalemate. She reveals the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice hundreds of civilians, including the Feathers&#039; own friends and family, to Walpurgisnacht. She also details their previous use of the Chelation Land Rumor for a similar purpose and the Feathers are shocked and dismayed. Some even accuse Mami of hypocrisy, which she does not deny.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Feathers split into two factions: one that still desires liberation at any cost and another that vows to protect Kamihama. A fight breaks out between them and Madoka and the others defend Mami, declaring their unwavering friendship. Moved, Mami asks the Feathers if they have anyone they trust unconditionally, as she now does, and the Feathers state they trust Mifuyu and demand to hear the truth from her directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami entrusts the Feathers to Nanaka&#039;s team, while she, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka then proceed to Hotel Fendthope to aid Iroha. On the way, Mami thanks her friends and asks them to rely on her as an equal ally and friend, not as a veteran. They arrive at the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Mitama is guarding the entrance. She confirms she is aware of Mami&#039;s past struggles and allows the group to pass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 16th==&lt;br /&gt;
* At Hotel Fendt Hope, Sana infiltrates the hotel to find Iroha and she overhears Feathers discussing Iroha&#039;s location and heads there. Iroha is held in a cell and, with her Soul Gem confiscated, she reflects on her memories of Ui, Touka, and Nemu and resolves to stop the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their plans and Alina demands Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem and body be brought to her. A weather report at the same time indicates the approach of Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana locates Iroha&#039;s cell, and she breaks Iroha out, but the act of breaking the cell door triggers an Uwasa, as the entire building is part of a Rumor. Sana defeats the Uwasa and as they flee, they are ambushed by Black Feathers. Kyoko Sakura, who was undergoing an orientation with the Feathers but decided against joining them, intervenes and helps defeat the attackers as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha explains the Magius&#039; goal is to summon Walpurgisnacht, and Kyoko reveals the Magius also plan to use Iroha, Mifuyu, and the Amane sisters as nourishment for &amp;quot;Eve,&amp;quot; the core of the system. Suddenly, Iroha collapses and stops breathing due to the distance from her Soul Gem. A Black Feather who pretended to be unconscious seizes Iroha&#039;s body and escapes with it, and Sana and Kyoko give chase.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team enters the Hotel Fendt Hope through the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth and they split into two teams: Yachiyo&#039;s group heads to the top floor to rescue Mifuyu and the Amane sisters, while Momoko&#039;s group searches for Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team finds Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa unconscious, their bodies separated from their Soul Gems. They quickly recover the Soul Gems, reviving the three, and Mifuyu confirms the Magius summoned Walpurgisnacht to provide energy to hatch Eve. Mifuyu and the Amane sisters renounce the Magius and join Yachiyo&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Iroha is transported by a Black Feather who reveals her motivation: her younger sister turned into a Witch, and she supports the Magius to prevent others from suffering the same fate. Momoko&#039;s team intercepts them and rescues Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko and Sana fight their way through the hotel and reunite with the main group. Momoko&#039;s team recovers a bag containing Iroha&#039;s, Mifuyu&#039;s, and the Amane sisters&#039; Soul Gems. A group of Feathers from the East confronts them but is persuaded by Kanagi to stand down, and they retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the teams reunited, the full coalition of Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, Kanagi, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Kyoko regroups. They possess all the stolen Soul Gems and are united in their goal to stop the Magius and confront Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team&#039;s path to the underground chapel is blocked and Mifuyu determines the magical building, a Rumor crafted by Nemu Hiiragi, has been reconfigured. Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa attempt to break the blockade, but a powerful magical wind erupts, separating the group. Mifuyu, the Amane sisters, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, and Kyoko are blown outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, Sana, Felicia, Tsuruno, and Kanagi remain inside and they defeat an Uwasa that attacks them. Mifuyu communicates from outside that they are locked out, and she devises a new plan: her group will gather other Kamihama Magical Girls to attack and destroy the Uwasa of Hotel Fendt Hope itself, which will collapse the building. She instructs Yachiyo&#039;s group to hurry to the underground chapel for safety before the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu&#039;s group fights off Witches released by Alina Gray as a defense measure. Mami, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka also arrive and assist them. After the battle, Mami convinces Mifuyu to address all the Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, and using the Amane sisters&#039; sound magic, Mifuyu broadcasts a telepathic message across Kamihama, revealing the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice civilians and summon Walpurgisnacht. She urges the Feathers to lay down their arms and prepare to fight the legendary Witch. Many Feathers also heed her call and defect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami then uses her magic to create a small opening in the building&#039;s barrier and enters Hotel Fendt Hope alone to rejoin Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kyoko is noted to be absent. Yachiyo&#039;s team searches for the entrance to the underground chapel and Mami reveals she concealed the entrance with her magic. She severs the ribbon hiding the path, officially breaking her ties with the Wings of the Magius and Mami then leaves to assist with the attack on the Uwasa of Fendt Hope outside. Kyoko meets Mami along the way and gives her a Grief Seed before they both exit the building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team then encounters false copies of Touka, Nemu, and Alina from the Mirror Witch&#039;s barrier; they realize the fakes speak differently and defeat them before continuing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, Mifuyu&#039;s group, now joined by Mami, Kyoko, and the Feathers who defected, attacks the Uwasa of Fendt Hope. Despite a coordinated assault, the Uwasa proves extremely resilient and withstands their combined power. The battle continues as the city-wide weather disaster escalates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team proceeds down a long staircase into a deep, dark underground area filled with strong magical impurities. Along the way, they are confronted by Mirror copies of themselves that voice their deepest insecurities, but each member overcomes their own doubts by relying on their friends. In the underground chapel, they find Alina, Nemu, and Touka waiting for them. At the back of the chapel, they see the massive, unhatched form of the Witch known as Embryo Eve. They reveal the full scope of their plan. They explain that Kyubey&#039;s true mission is to harvest the emotional energy of Magical Girls to counteract the universe&#039;s heat death. The cycle of hope and despair, culminating in a Magical Girl&#039;s transformation into a Witch, produces the necessary energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius intend to usurp this system. They plan to use the phase transition energy from Eve&#039;s transformation into a full Witch to create a permanent forcefield over Kamihama. This field would allow Magical Girls to release their impurities as Doppels instead of becoming Witches, and the energy would be fed back to the universe, making Kyubey and new Magical Girl contracts obsolete. The imminent arrival of Walpurgisnacht is a key part of their plan, as its destruction by Eve will provide the massive energy required.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Despite understanding the plan, Iroha and her team refuse to accept the Magius&#039; methods or their control over the future. The Magius argue that without their plan, Walpurgisnacht will destroy the city regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 2.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, the battle against the Uwasa of Fendt Hope continues. Realizing they are losing, Mifuyu uses a dangerous self-illusion to unleash all her magic at once in a final attack. She destroys the Uwasa but becomes incapacitated in the process as her Soul Gem starts breaking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the chapel, the destruction of the Uwasa causes Fendt Hope&#039;s Labyrinth to collapse, and the chapel is exposed to the outside as the building disappears. After the collapse of Hotel Fendt Hope, the teams reunite in the forest as the Labyrinth vanishes. Yachiyo learns that Mifuyu was severely injured destroying the Uwasa and was taken to Mitama for treatment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius appear with Embryo Eve, now freed from the chapel, and they prepare to fully release Eve so it can devour the approaching Walpurgisnacht. A battle ensues as the teams try to stop them and Iroha and Sana break through the defensive line of Familiars to attack Eve directly. Iroha&#039;s attack on Eve fails and Eve captures Iroha but does not harm her. A bright light emanates from Iroha, allowing Sana to rescue her. Sana reveals she possesses a branch from the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, which was not in bloom when she received it. The branch suddenly blossoms after Iroha touches Eve and Iroha realizes that Embryo Eve is her missing sister, Ui Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana confront Embryo Eve on Takayama Mountain and Iroha believes Eve is her sister, Ui Tamaki, but Eve breaks free from the mountain and begins to move toward Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama City, Walpurgisnacht approaches from the sea, accompanied by a massive horde of Familiars that begin to swarm the city. Magical Girl teams led by Hinano Miyako and Nanaka Tokiwa engage the Familiars along the coast to prevent widespread destruction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the ruins of Hotel Fendt Hope, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo bring the injured Mifuyu to Mitama Yakumo for emergency aid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Takayama Mountain, Iroha pleads with the combined Magical Girl forces not to kill Eve, revealing her belief that it is Ui. The Magius leaders and Alina retreat. Eve leaps into the sky, heading for Sankyo Ward in Kamihama. Yachiyo Nanami&#039;s team prepares to pursue Eve, while Madoka Kaname&#039;s group from Mitakihara heads to the coast to help defend against Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Magius headquarters, Touka and Nemu dismiss Iroha&#039;s claims about Ui, despite Nemu&#039;s private suspicions. Alina expresses interest in Iroha&#039;s memories but remains focused on Eve&#039;s hatching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Eve&#039;s arrival in Sankyo Ward, Mitama informs Iroha and the team that Ui&#039;s true body and Soul Gem are contained within Embryo Eve, which is a &amp;quot;Half-Witch.&amp;quot; To save Ui, they must defeat Eve&#039;s manifested form without destroying the Soul Gem and Mitama identifies a large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest as the core that maintains its form and its weak point. Mitama also treats the comatose Mifuyu, whose Soul Gem is critically cracked from overuse. Mitama stabilizes it but cannot fully heal her, and Tsukuyo and Tsukasa decide to rejoin the fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Eve rampages through Sankyo Ward, the combined Magical Girl teams attack Eve but find their assaults completely ineffective. Mitama, the Amane sisters, and other groups like Hinano Miyako&#039;s team regroup and they decide to consolidate their forces: one group will focus on defeating Eve, while the other prepares for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s landfall.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia readies her hammer and strikes Eve on the head with a magic‑powered blow, using her memory‑obliterating ability to confuse Eve and halt its advance; in the aftermath of the strike, a strange glow is visible near Eve&#039;s belly. Meanwhile, the Amane sisters relay the critical intelligence about Eve&#039;s red jewel weak point to Yachiyo&#039;s team. Eve begins to move toward Chuo Ward, and Sana proposes a plan to immobilize Eve so the team can target its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, the combined forces of Yachiyo&#039;s team, the Amane sisters, and other White Feathers execute a plan to immobilize Embryo Eve. They use chains from Sana&#039;s shield, spears, and plants to bind Eve to a large building and Iroha successfully strikes the large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest, its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eve retaliates by absorbing a massive vortex of impurities its Familiars had collected, causing its body to mutate and merge with the jewel. Iroha then sees a vision of Ui trapped within the core, reaffirming her resolve to save her, but the Magius arrive to protect Eve and ensure it consumes Walpurgisnacht. Iroha declares her intent to enter the gem to save Ui directly, and despite being severely injured, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia hold off the Magius, creating an opening for Iroha to advance toward Eve&#039;s core.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:10-19.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha reaches Ui&#039;s body but cannot shatter the gem surrounding it completely. Touka arrives at her side, and questions her motives. Iroha declares Ui is her sister and a precious friend to Touka and Nemu, and as Iroha reaches for Ui, the Embryo Eve attacks and Lil&#039; Kyubey intervenes and blocks the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu experience a flood of memories, recalling the original events. She remembers seeing Iroha with Kyubey in a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, learning about Magical Girls, and devising a plan with Ui and Nemu to usurp Kyubey&#039;s powers to create an automatic purification system and save all Magical Girls. Their plan failed when Ui&#039;s &amp;quot;harvest&amp;quot; ability went haywire upon her transformation, forcing Nemu to sever Ui&#039;s soul from her body and store it within the de-powered, small Kyubey to prevent her from becoming a Witch. This act erased Ui from the world&#039;s memory, as well as any traces of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Regaining their memories, Touka uses her stored energy to destabilize the Embryo Eve and Nemu uses her stories to restrain it. Iroha shatters Eve&#039;s central gem, and the small Kyubey releases Ui&#039;s soul. Ui awakens and reassures Touka and Nemu that she does not blame them for their shared decision. The Embryo Eve, now soulless, begins to decay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined Magical Girl forces, including Mami, Kyoko, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura, continue their battle against Walpurgisnacht in Chuo Ward. Despite their numbers, the Witch proves immensely powerful and resilient.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102304 mikage desire.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, a massive explosion of light and energy erupts from the location of the decaying Embryo Eve. The Eve has transformed into a new, stable form, and Touka deduces that Alina, who had previously shrunk the anti-Kyubey forcefield to contain the city&#039;s energy, has now wrapped that forcefield tightly around Eve. This action stabilized Eve&#039;s energy and prevented its decay, allowing Alina to control it as a tool for her art. Alina appears, now fused with an Uwasa in a manner similar to [[Holy Mami]], and declares her intent to use Eve to create her ultimate masterpiece, disregarding the goal of Magical Girl liberation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, as this is taking place, [[Mikage Yakumo]], Mitama&#039;s younger sister, is approached by Kyubey when the Barrier disappears. After he explains Mitama&#039;s wish to her, Mikage makes a wish of her own to undo the effects of Mitama&#039;s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Chapter 2: Smiles and Fireworks]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Holy Alina]] asserts that humanity subconsciously desires destruction and that she will use the Embryo Eve to fulfill this wish as her ultimate artwork. Kanagi confronts her own past desire to destroy the city due to its history of conflict but ultimately rejects Alina&#039;s path as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 nemu uwasa.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu, as the creator of Alina&#039;s Uwasa, takes responsibility. She uses the last of her life force to summon every Uwasa recorded in her book to attack Alina directly. The attack defeats Alina, making her disappear, but Nemu collapses, severely weakened and unable to move her legs, so White Feathers evacuate her to safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 eve user1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Embryo Eve, now uncontrolled, begins to rampage and targets Ui, attempting to reabsorb her. Lil&#039; Kyubey implies a solution: it will take Ui&#039;s place within Eve. Touka realizes that the small Kyubey, which contains Ui&#039;s former soul and Kyubey&#039;s original functions, possesses similar attributes to Eve. It is also incapable of becoming a Witch. Lil&#039; Kyubey merges with the Embryo Eve, causing it to release all orbs of light from its body, lading in different parts of Kamihama. The small Kyubey thus becomes the core of the &amp;quot;Automatic Purification System&amp;quot; that Touka, Ui, and Nemu originally envisioned, preventing Magical Girls from becoming Witches within Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival, the combined forces of Magical Girls, including the various teams from Kamihama and the team from Mitakihara, are on the verge of defeat. Homura and the others exhaust their weapons and energy in a desperate attempt to defeat it. They are exhausted, out of Grief Seeds, many are incapacitated, and despite their injuries and depleted resources, the girls refuse to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Last Magia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Walpurgisnacht prepares a massive attack that seems certain to annihilate them, an unknown, benevolent force envelops the Magical Girls. Iroha hears a mysterious voice and sees white feathers raining down, an experience shared by everyone on the battlefield. They all experience a sudden surge of energy and a feeling of being urged forward. This voice is from the Law of Cycles, who had been watching the timeline but not interfering with it. The feathers rejuvenate the group, lifting their spirits and empowering them to continue fighting; their strength is restored, and even the injured find themselves able to fight again. With morale returned, they rally together for one final, united assault, redirecting Walpurgisnacht to Kaihin Park using a coordinated strategy with their unique magical abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined forces of Magical Girls coordinate their unique magics to combat Walpurgisnacht: &lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Natsuki Utsuho initiate the counterattack by using their Encouragement and Cheering magic to boost the morale and power of all allies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seizing this surge of energy, the team implements a complex strategy to control the battlefield. First, Felicia, Meiyui Chun, and Rika Ayano use their Memory Erasure, Persuasion, and Mind-Altering magic to disorient Walpurgisnacht and force it to change course toward the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** To precisely guide the Witch to the intended battleground, Tsuruno, Riko Chiaki, and Emiri Kisaki then use their Good Luck, Luring, and Charm magic, successfully leading Walpurgisnacht to the beachfront park while evading its attacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Once there, the focus shifts to immobilizing the colossal foe. Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Asuka Tatsuki use their Flute Blossom Resonance and Action Control magic in an attempt to halt Walpurgisnacht&#039;s movement entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When it retaliates, Himika Mao diverts its attacks, creating an opening for Kanagi Izumi, who, with a power boost from Mitama&#039;s Coordination, attacks it directly to stun it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** This creates the crucial opening for a full restraint, and Mami, Kanoko Yayoi, and Kaede use Ribbon Binding, Stitching, and Plant magic to ensnare the Witch, which Rena amplified by using her Transformation magic to transform into Kaede and double the restraining power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Walpurgisnacht finally immobilized, Nanaka organizes their forces while Hazuki Yusa and Akira Shinobu identify its weak point with their magic, a gear connected to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire group then launch a coordinated, all-out assault, with offensive magics like Hinano Miyako&#039;s Chemical Explosions leading the charge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout the final attack, Kokoro Awane, Ayame Mikuri, and Konoha Shizumi provide vital defense with their Wall Creation, Safeguarding, and Fog Generation magic, protecting the assault team and ensuring their united strike could land.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Realizing their combined assault was not enough to deliver a final blow, the Magical Girls regroup and to ensure they could act as one perfect unit, Reira Ibuki uses her Purifying Flame to heal their wounds and replenish their energy, while Mito Aino uses her Heart-Linking magic to synchronize their hearts and minds, allowing their resolve to become perfectly aligned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With their spirits united, they form a new strategy and Konomi Haruna uses her magic to force their Fighting Spirit to Bloom, amplifying their collective potential, while Kako Natsume uses her Event Reproduction magic to reinforce the gathered energy, and Ren Isuzu enacts her Nirvana magic to ensure the attack would bring permanent rest to the Witch if successful.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The plan to create a final weapon then commences. Ui uses her Harvest magic to gather the hope and magical energy from every single Magical Girl on the battlefield. She passes this immense energy to Touka, who used her Conversion magic to condense it all into a single, concentrated mass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* This mass of collective hope is then entrusted to Yachiyo, whose unique magic of Inheritance allows her to embody and control the power. She and Iroha shape this energy into a gigantic, radiant arrow aimed at the weak point that had been identified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they prepared to fire, Walpurgisnacht launches an attack to free itself from their binds. In that moment, Homura activates her Time-Stop, and touches Iroha, allowing her to move within the suspended time and take aim unimpeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the path clear, Iroha releases the arrow and strikes the central gear with overwhelming force. As time resumed, the arrow consumed Walpurgisnacht in a brilliant explosion, finally ending the calamity and clearing the sky over Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102005 magicalgirl3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura reflects that she has finally surpassed this battle after countless timelines, and Madoka expresses relief that no more people will suffer from Walpurgisnacht. The girls in Kamihama also celebrate their hard-earned victory, despite the fact that many are injured and exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Epilogue==&lt;br /&gt;
* Some days after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, Iroha and Ui see their parents off at the airport as they leave for their overseas assignment. Iroha and Ui then return to Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama City, where Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana welcome them back. Mifuyu is also present, as Iroha was able to use her magic to repair Mifuyu&#039;s damaged Soul Gem, allowing her to recover. Later that day, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Kanagi, and Mitama visit Mikazuki Villa as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, [[Ultimate Madoka]], a being who identifies as a record-keeper of all universes reflects on the new timeline centered on Kamihama. She states she intervened one last time by sending a &amp;quot;rain of feathers&amp;quot; to empower the Magical Girls but will now only observe, fearing further direct interference could damage this fragile new reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu organize a meeting for all Magical Girls involved in the recent conflict to discuss the actions of the Wings of the Magius and the future fate of all Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu visit the Eternal Sakura. The Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura congratulates them on finally being together as friends and Nemu, who now uses a wheelchair, accepts her condition as a consequence of her past actions. Iroha briefly wonders about the whereabouts of the small Kyubey that once accompanied her, and then meet Lil&#039; Kyubey in the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After some days, Homura reflects on their victory. Despite saving Madoka and defeating Walpurgisnacht, she feels uncertain. The fundamental curse of Magical Girls becoming Witches remains, and she questions if this timeline is truly the best outcome. At school, Mami informs the group about recent disappearances and people getting lost, which they attribute to a new Witch. They devise a plan to track it by mapping the incidents. Kyoko arrives from Kazamino, also hunting the same Witch, and a tense alliance forms.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: The Place We Finally Reached]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group splits into teams to search the area Mami identified. Madoka notices Homura&#039;s preoccupation and reassures her. The teams locate the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and coordinate their attack. During the battle, Homura fears for her friends&#039; safety, but they work together effectively. Kyoko and Sayaka create an opening for Mami and Madoka to deliver the final blow, while Homura evacuates the Witch-Kissed civilians.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Kyoko gives the Grief Seed to Mami and Sayaka declares she has no regrets about becoming a Magical Girl, valuing the power to protect and the friends she has made. This prompts Mami to reconcile with Kyoko, asking to be true friends who help each other when needed again, to which Kyoko agrees. Madoka then states she is also glad she became a Magical Girl, expressing faith in the future because of her friends. This resolve causes Homura to weep with joy, finally believing this timeline, where they face their fate together, could be the one she sought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group, including Kyoko, shares a meal at a pancake restaurant. They discuss an upcoming meeting in Kamihama to address the Magius&#039; actions. While Kyoko opts not to attend, the others plan to update her later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 04 00 0042 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One Saturday, Mami volunteers to help clean the damage done by the Magius incident and Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura go along as well. During it, a Witch attacks and a Magical Girl they were helping unleashes a Doppel. They defeat the Witch and the girl falls unconscious, so Mami takes her to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After stabilizing her, Mami asks Mitama to help her face her own Doppel and she guides Mami to look within. Mami meets her Doppel and it tries to convince her to forget the past, yet Mami refuses and proclaims that she accepts the Doppel as part of herself. Mami then wakes up, thanking everyone and says they will build the future together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cherry Blossom Dreams===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, the Eternal Sakura completed her duties as an Uwasa when her tree came into full bloom. Her Rumor was rewritten and she was connected to Touka&#039;s server, reborn as an Uwasa with ample knowledge who would later be named Sakurako. Around this time, Yachiyo received a message asking what should be done about the six ringleaders of the Magius—Touka Satomi, Nemu Hiiragi, Mifuyu Azusa, Mitama Yakumo, Tsukuyo Amane, and Tsukasa Amane. Nemu proposed rewriting the Eternal Sakura to serve as an impartial judge. They designed three trials: the first to analyze crimes and calculate a verdict, the second to survey all Magical Girls, and the third to reach a final decision based on responses. Punishments ranged from monitoring to destruction of the Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the first trial, Sakurako sentenced Touka and Nemu to the maximum penalty. Mifuyu received power revocation, reduced from maximum due to testimony that she helped destroy Fendt Hope. Mitama received conditional power revocation, allowed to transform only for Coordinator work. The Amane sisters received power restriction. After the trial, Touka and Nemu remained calm, thanking everyone. Yachiyo noted they had intentionally omitted their ages from consideration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Nemu and Sakurako wait at a train station with others. Nearby girls whisper about Nemu, recognizing her as one of the Magius and questioning why she faces no punishment. Ui argues with Iroha about using the Stardust Time Viewer, while Touka pushes through the crowd, disheveled from navigating the train alone. The three girls reunite, each feeling it is a dream. Touka sends Ui a photo of the map they created together in the hospital. The group travels to the mall, where Ui finally visits the croquette shop she always wanted to try, and they share plates to taste each other&#039;s orders. From there, they take a rickshaw to Mizuna Shrine, where they briefly encounter Tsukuyo and Tsukasa, who quickly hurry away. The group buys prayer plaques, though most hesitate at the cost until a shrine attendant suggests writing prayers on the back of their fortunes instead. Iroha wishes for all Magical Girls to get along, while Touka and Nemu write their own wishes. They argue over where to go next—Touka wants a lookout point in Hokuyo Ward, but Ui resists rushing. Sakurako suggests they also face reality, so they head to Central Ward, still scarred from Walpurgisnacht and Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui admits she used the library as an excuse to bring them here, hoping the Stardust Time Viewer would show them a hopeful future. Nemu summons the Rumor, transporting them to a star-filled space. The Viewer shows Iroha&#039;s future: a world where the Doppel system has expanded globally and all Magical Girls coexist peacefully. Iroha feels embarrassed, but Sakurako assures her the wish is beautiful. When Ui asks to see her own future, the Viewer has nothing to show. Ui realizes this means Touka and Nemu are absent from Iroha&#039;s future and accuses them of planning to die. The vision fades, returning them to the rubble of Central Ward. Touka and Nemu admit they believe they should die for their crimes, pointing to the destruction around them, the Feathers they manipulated, and the innocent people hurt. Sakurako confirms she knew this all along. Ui slaps them both, demanding they consider how she feels. Nemu explains they wanted to do what they could while they still had time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second trial begins. No surveys have arrived. Sakurako agrees to wait one hour. Yachiyo and others leave to retrieve them. Mifuyu confronts Touka and Nemu, asking if they sabotaged the surveys. They admit they did, altering the date so the surveys would not arrive in time. They wanted to be judged and sentenced to death to spare Ui from the hatred directed at them. Ui refuses to accept this. She and Iroha transform to protect them. The hour ends and Sakurako moves to deliver punishment. Iroha and Ui hold her back as Mifuyu and Mitama join the defense. The Amane sisters attack Sakurako with their flutes, accepting heavier sentences. Iroha realizes they can use photos of the surveys as evidence. Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s phones begin chiming with images from Yachiyo and the others. Iroha begs Sakurako to accept the evidence. Sakurako confirms the surveys are real and delays the trial, requiring them to arrive by day&#039;s end. The surveys show Magical Girls believe Touka and Nemu should be punished, but not killed. Some suggest atonement, rehabilitation, or mentorship. Reading the responses, Touka and Nemu weep, but Ui weeps with joy. Based on the surveys, sentences are reduced. Touka and Nemu receive monitoring with transformation-prevention bracelets, while Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s sentences are reduced to monitoring. The Amane sisters are found not guilty and Feathers who revealed themselves have their cases dismissed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the group gathers. Touka and Nemu wear their bracelets. Sakurako serves drinks. Mifuyu asks about tutoring Touka in exchange for help with pharmacy school. Nemu will rely on Sakurako for mobility on difficult days. Tsuruno suggests welcoming them as the Brains of Kamihama. In the kitchen, Sakurako hugs Touka and Nemu, then Iroha and Ui. She tells them she loves them. The days she always dreamed of have arrived. The real spring can finally begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocolatier in Mirror Country===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro, Masara, Konomi, Asuka and Sasara gather at Manaka&#039;s place to plan their charity bazaar booth. Kokoro and Masara participate to help Himika&#039;s family without making it obvious, while Asuka and Sasara join to invite a lonely girl named Chi whose father died. Konomi&#039;s booth was invited directly due to her popular Valentine&#039;s bouquets. They agree on a collaboration between Walnuts and Blossom the florist, dividing tasks among themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Warming Valentine]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Manaka&#039;s father&#039;s help, Kokoro and Masara make bear-shaped chocolates. Asuka recruits dojo volunteers, Sasara invites Chi and designs leaflets, and Konomi prepares bouquets with Izayoi&#039;s help decorating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the bazaar, adults receive bouquets with donation and children get free chocolates. Chi and her mother visit happily. Himika initially refuses chocolate but accepts after realizing her siblings want it, and they enjoy the day together. The event succeeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later at a celebration party, Sasara and Kokoro feel their efforts changed nothing. Masara scolds them for impatience, explaining kindness takes time. Kanagi and Asuka arrive with good news that Himika&#039;s family is making White Day gifts, and Chi&#039;s mother now calls daily. Relieved, they enjoy the party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Valentine&#039;s Day, girls give chocolates to loved ones. Sasara gives to her father, Asuka to her cousin, and Konomi to her aunt. Masara and Kokoro exchange chocolates at their favorite spot, and Kokoro tearfully reconciles with her parents. Elsewhere, Rena and Tsukuyo each struggle to give chocolates to Kaede and Tsukasa. Following a rumor, they separately pray at a radio tower, accidentally encounter each other, and successfully give their chocolates when Kaede and Tsukasa also arrive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, in Mitakihara, Nagisa bakes a chocolate cake with Mami while feeling that something is wrong, as her memories feel hazy and she seems more childish than she should be. She realizes her memories of being longtime friends with Mami are false, yet she recognizes that the warmth she feels is what she has always wanted. When they finish the cake, a Witch that looks like a younger version of Nagisa steals it, and they chase it into a mirror, finding themselves in a transformed version of the Mirror Witch&#039;s Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Chocolatier in Mirror Country]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They encounter Madoka and Homura trapped in a time loop illusion, free them, and learn that Sayaka and Kyoko went ahead and are now missing. They find Sayaka and Kyoko trapped in a competition for a magical cake, so Mami and Nagisa enter and win by choosing a song they both know well. Using the cake&#039;s wishes, they reunite the group and defeat the attacking Witch. Nagisa realizes she has two sets of memories and deduces the chocolate-loving Witch is an alternate version of herself who wished for chocolate cake instead of cheesecake. This Witch has been consuming the Labyrinth&#039;s power and attracting Witches from parallel worlds through mirror gates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The little Witch steals the cake again, and during the chase, Nagisa and Mami become separated in a dark fog. A poem warns them not to open their eyes or they will lose each other, but Nagisa&#039;s self-doubt overwhelms her. Remembering losing her mother and everyone else, she convinces herself Mami is not really there, opens her eyes, and is consumed by the Witch. The group fights through countless gates to find her and engages the master Witch. Inside, Mami finds Nagisa, hugs her tightly, and promises they will always be friends because of the future they will share, not false memories. Nagisa finally believes her, and the cake is returned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group realizes that even with the master Witch defeated, other Witches have taken its place, so they must clear them all to restore the Labyrinth. They commit to finishing the job together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Labyrinth is cleared, they gather at Mami&#039;s apartment for a chocolate party where Nagisa officially gives Mami the cake. They play poker with chocolate coins to decide how to share the remaining half, and Mami wins, but she divides the cake equally among all six. Everyone agrees it is the best cake in the universe. Nagisa thanks Mami, and Mami welcomes her warmly, calling her a little chocolatier and a lovely new addition to their circle of friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Kamihama, that night, Tsukuyo finds Rena praying at the Chuo Ward radio tower, having both read an online article claiming that twenty minutes of prayer there ensures successful apologies to loved ones. Tsukuyo confesses she hurt her twin sister Tsukasa by rejecting their Valentine&#039;s plans after failing at homemade chocolate, while Rena admits she snapped at Kaede and claimed she had no chocolate for her after Kaede had given her some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The 14th Day Where I Can&#039;t Be Honest]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their conversation is interrupted when Tsukasa and Kaede suddenly appear, having anticipated their partners would come here to apologize. Tsukasa assures Tsukuyo she was not upset and would treasure any chocolate from her, urging her to be easier on herself. Kaede forgives Rena and asks simply for her to be more honest. Together, the two pairs exchange Valentine&#039;s wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany===&lt;br /&gt;
* Walpurgisnacht&#039;s attack on Kamihama City caused massive damage to Chuo Ward, which the public believes was a natural disaster. Only Magical Girls know the truth and privately, Mitama reflects that the victory gave her hope, but she wonders if the destruction she once wished for can be defied.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0008 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after Walpurgisnacht, Mitama realizes Doyle has not visited her shop and the last saw him the day before Walpurgisnacht. She assumes the storm made him too scared to go out, so she decides to close her shop and search for him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama looks around the vacant land near her shop and a girl named Ritsumi offers to help. Ritsumi’s cat Arthur ran away before, so she knows where cats hide. They search but find nothing and Ritsumi says Arthur now lives with her grandpa. Mitama realizes Ritsumi is the daughter of the neighbor who owns Arthur and Mitama had mistaken Arthur for Doyle and that Ritsumi has never actually seen Doyle. They end the day without clues and Mitama sends a message to the Magical Girls’ group chat asking if anyone has seen a white tabby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama knocks on the neighbor’s door and Ritsumi’s mother answers. She explains that Arthur was sent away two weeks ago to Ritsumi’s grandpa. Mitama realizes that no one knows where Doyle came from. Ritsumi’s mother promises to keep an eye out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana, Asuka, and others from Mizuna Girls’ Academy saw Mitama’s group chat post and they arrive to help. More volunteers soon arrive: Kaede, Kako, Rena, Konoha’s team, and others. They split up to cover Shinsei Ward and Mitama notes that no one else has ever seen Doyle. Konoha says she never saw a cat at Mitama’s shop. Rena also asks for a photo, but Mitama has none.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds Ritsumi near the bus stop and they search door to door. No one in the neighborhood has seen a white tabby kitten either. Ritsumi says she has read all “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” books and that her favorite is “Invisible Epiphany,” about a detective searching for a lost child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko meets Mitama alone. Momoko says she never saw Doyle and neither did Tsukasa or the other girls. Mitama remembers talking to Doyle in front of them, but they saw no cat ither. Momoko suggests a Rumor is involved, as all Rumors disappeared after the fight with the Magius, except the Eternal Sakura. Coincidentally, Doyle disappeared at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls Nemu, who is still in the hospital and Nemu explains that Doyle was part of the Rumor of the Cat Detective. The Rumor possesses detective novel lovers, detects signs of a case, gets the detective involved, and guarantees a solution. Nemu explains she erased almost all Rumors, including this one. Mitama thinks Doyle disappeared because the Rumor was destroyed and she had solved four cases with Doyle’s help, yet the fifth never began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama re-reads her case files and each one has an opening paragraph she does not remember writing. The first case file hints at Hanna Sarasa. The second hints at Tsukasa. The third and fourth also name the culprits. Mitama realizes Doyle left those hints, and Nemu says the Rumor did not cause incidents, only detected them, so those incidents would have happened anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0009 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Kamihama slowly returns to order. Mitama notes that she cannot rely on Doyle anymore and she hopes she does not get any new cases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui and the Eternal Sakura visit Mitama to deliver a lampshade from Yachiyo. Ui says a girl from her school has gone missing and Mitama is shocked to learn the girl is Ritsumi, who did not come home after school yesterday and the police are investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama goes to the bus stop near her shop and finds Ritsumi’s mother. The mother says Ritsumi likely went to Hokuyo Ward to see her grandpa and Arthur. Ritsumi’s parents are separated and her father lives with his parents in Hokuyo Ward. The mother believes Ritsumi wanted to visit them, but the bus route to Hokuyo was suspended after the disaster but has resumed, bypassing Chuo Ward. Soon, Himika calls Mitama. Himika saw a girl matching Ritsumi’s description waiting at the Shinsei Ward bus stop yesterday, reading a book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi arrive and Momoko explains she has been investigating at school. Ritsumi transferred to Kamihama University Affiliated School six months ago after her parents separated and she moved into the building next to Mitama’s shop. Momoko explains Arthur went to live with her father in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo Ward. Mitama realizes the conflicting information: Arthur was first in Chuo Ward, then evacuated to the grandpa’s house in Hokuyo after the disaster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Satomi Medical Center, Nemu discusses the case with Eternal Sakura. Nemu recalls the hidden hints in Mitama’s case files. The last words of each hint spell “Lost Through Time Eternal,” which is the title of volume 12 of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” In that story, a girl runs away to her old home. Nemu deduces that Ritsumi went to her old apartment in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo. She likely got off at the nearest bus stop and walked into the restricted zone, then she had an accident.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Momoko, and Kanagi search the area near the old apartment and they hear a voice. Ritsumi had fallen into an old underground passage and sprained her ankle. She lost track of time and had no phone. Mitama explains she remembered the Doyle book and Ritsumi admits she was copying the girl in the story as she wanted to see the area where she grew up. The three quickly rescue her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ritsumi is taken to a hospital and also discharged quickly. Her parents agree to let her visit both of them and Arthur whenever she likes. Mitama reflects that Doyle gave her confidence and the city she cursed is still standing, so she dares to believe in hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Momoko finally holds the Coordinator Thank-You Party that was postponed earlier and Rena and Kaede thank Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui reads &amp;quot;The Happy Prince&amp;quot; and reflects on her uncertain purpose as a Magical Girl. While walking, she stops Kyubey from contracting a girl outside Kamihama, explaining she cannot let anyone else suffer the fate of becoming a Witch. When Kyubey asks what he should do instead, she has no answer. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia tells Ui she is overthinking things and should focus on her upcoming combat test. Iroha and Yachiyo serve dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno gives Ui an enthusiastic pep talk for her live combat test. To remain in Kamihama, Ui must detect and eliminate a Witch alone—the same test Yachiyo gave Iroha when she first arrived. Yachiyo admits the test may be unfair and offers to let Ui choose a partner. With Iroha busy helping Kanagi, Ui chooses Momoko. They depart together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui struggles to sense the Witch&#039;s magic, so they search Mizuna Ward where young women gather. They encounter a Familiar and follow it to a Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After defeating it, Felicia suddenly appears, attacks them, and runs away. Tsuruno gives chase and tackles her. Felicia&#039;s oblivion magic has erased their memory of the Familiar&#039;s pattern, so they cannot track the Witch. Momoko requests a pause, but Yachiyo refuses, stating unexpected events happen in real combat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia admits she interfered because she is jealous that Ui receives everyone&#039;s attention while she struggled alone as a mercenary. Yachiyo explains that Felicia&#039;s past does not justify making others unhappy. Meanwhile, Ui cheers up after eating crepes with Momoko and resolves to continue. As sunset approaches, they search Sakae Ward but find nothing. Yachiyo offers to bring a Familiar for them to retrack, but it disappears before they arrive. Ui suggests checking Hokuyo Ward on a hunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Hokuyo Ward, Ui senses a different Witch&#039;s magical reaction. They follow Witch-kissed people up a mountain toward a labyrinth. At Yachiyo&#039;s house, the others realize Ui failed the test since Yachiyo had to eliminate the original Witch herself, though Yachiyo will allow a retake. They notice Felicia smiling and suspect she interfered again. Rena confesses she helped Felicia erase the hint because she understood Felicia&#039;s jealousy. Tsuruno says the only person who deserves an apology is Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the mountain, Ui and Momoko enter the Witch&#039;s barrier against Momoko&#039;s better judgment. They fight through Familiars but become trapped and cannot escape. The Witch overwhelms them. Yachiyo and the others arrive and join the fight, but Familiars overwhelm them too. Iroha arrives at the last moment to defend Ui. Ui proposes using her ability to harvest impurities, purifying everyone&#039;s Soul Gems so they can fight at full strength. She will temporarily become a Witch, but the Doppel system will contain it. She absorbs the impurities, and the others destroy the Witch while Ui struggles with the darkness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui unleashes her Doppel and meets her Doppel self, who accuses her of wanting punishment and being jealous of others while trapped in the hospital. Ui nearly agrees to let the Doppel consume her but refuses, recognizing it as the easy way out. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words about taking responsibility and confronting the situation honestly. She accepts her wrongs and her true feelings, realizing this difficult path will bring true happiness. The Doppel admits she is right. Iroha wakes Ui at Mitama&#039;s clinic, where she has been unconscious for some time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama checks on Ui after her first Doppel release. Felicia apologizes for her interference and says she thinks Ui is cool. Rena also apologizes for helping Felicia. Ui accepts their apologies and compliments them both, asking Felicia to teach her things. Rena and Felicia feel terrible for how they treated someone so kind. Later that evening at Yachiyo&#039;s house, everyone celebrates Ui passing her test—though she did not defeat the assigned Witch, she tracked a Witch, stayed calm, used her intelligence, and performed better than expected. Ui tells Iroha she now knows what she wants to do as a Magical Girl. Iroha decides to work with other Kamihama Magical Girls to find a way to free them all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui and Iroha encounter Kyubey outside Kamihama attempting another contract and stop him. Kyubey asks what their goal is. They explain they plan to fight and find a way to coexist with Kyubey—if they can expand Kamihama&#039;s miracle globally, Magical Girls can live happily while providing the energy Kyubey needs. Kyubey welcomes the idea if it avoids conflict but warns that Magical Girls worldwide are not as unified as those in Kamihama. Ui wonders how much happiness she can give to the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tart / Darc Magica===&lt;br /&gt;
* Through Minou&#039;s spell from 15th-century France, Ui is pulled into the past, with her phone acting as her Soul Gem and Blank Prophecy, with the power to restore the past&#039;s real history.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rebel of a Dawnless Land]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning from the past, Ui finds herself in an antique store, still surrounded by magic bubbles though no memory of what occured. On the floor are the two candles and the old book. She feels they are important but cannot remember why, so she puts them on store shelves before falling asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui wakes up at Mikazuki Villa. Her phone rings with a text of Nemu asking if she knows any charms, as Mitama has been really into them lately. Ui says she knows a charm for good dreams requiring red and blue candles. Nemu asks where she heard about it and Ui isn&#039;t sure but says it was in 15th-century France. Nemu is fascinated and promises to research it. Later, Ui scrolls through her phone and finds a photo she doesn&#039;t recognize with girls she doesn&#039;t know. She begins crying without understanding why and Iroha finds her and hugs her tightly. Suddenly Ui remembers Darc&#039;s final words. She turns to her sister and tells her, &amp;quot;Let&#039;s have a wonderful future together.&amp;quot; Iroha agrees. Ui calms down and heads home to prepare for a slumber party with Nemu and Touka. Iroha, running errands, decides to stop by Mitama&#039;s place afterward. Mitama greets her warmly, mentioning she just learned an interesting little charm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That day, Iroha visits Mitama, who gives her and Yachiyo antique candles for a sweet dream spell. That night, they light the candles and drift off to sleep together, where they&#039;re pulled into the nightmare of Jeanne d&#039;Arc in April 29th, 1429.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Maiden of Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next morning, Yachiyo reveals she had the same dream. They call Mitama, who is surprised they had nightmares instead of sweet dreams. They decide to try the candles again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Kamihama plunged into darkness and all non-Magical Girls vanished. Their Soul Gems have consumed magic in the real world despite no injuries. Realizing the dream affects reality, they decide to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a lot of fighting, they awaken and prepare for the final battle. In this journey they discover that they&#039;d been traveling to Darc&#039;s dream, and if Darc despairs completely, she will turn into a Witch and trigger a catastrophe affecting the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Felicia and Sana gone and Kamihama empty. Breaking into Mitama&#039;s shop, they find a grimoire revealing the candles were made with Darc&#039;s hair, creating a connection to her dream. They return with the book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They finally awaken at Mikazuki Villa to sunshine and normalcy. Felicia demands steak for dinner. Consulting a history book, they read that on May 7th, 1429, Jeanne d&#039;Arc fought at Tourelles after waking from a dream. The battle was fierce but Orléans was liberated. Iroha notices a portrait in the book showing them in their Magical Girl outfits standing beside Jeanne d&#039;Arc.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at Mitama&#039;s shop, Yachiyo recounts everything. Mitama mentions the spell became widespread in France during Jeanne d&#039;Arc&#039;s era. Iroha realizes Melissa must have spread it after learning it from them in the dream. The use of red and blue candles was too specific to be coincidence. Iroha&#039;s head spins trying to figure out where the spell originated. Yachiyo notes the grimoire never mentioned the candle setup, so the spell just circled around and around. They will never know for certain whether they changed history or were always part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* During their slumber party, Ui, Touka, and Nemu encounter a massive witch, [[Crépuscule de La Reine]]. Touka and Nemu vanish, leaving Ui and Sakurako to face it alone. The witch is unaffected by their attacks and disappears, taking Ui with it into 15th-century France once more, this time in the realm of Purgatory which Minou created. With Pernelle&#039;s help, Ui is soon able to also summon Iroha and Yachiyo there as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;endofalegendthelimitsoflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - End of a Legend, the Limits of Light]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Lil&#039; Kyubey and Ui&#039;s phone as the Blank Prophecy are pulled as &amp;quot;If Factors&amp;quot; into the world of Holy Maiden Academy, which Minou created and maintained for six hundred years after being given a Philosopher&#039;s Stone after Isabeau&#039;s death. However, after her plans are thwarted by the &amp;quot;what if&amp;quot; version of Melissa, he returns and wakes in the real world, where Iroha and Ui assure him it was just a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;counc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Masked Student Council Strikes Back]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Voices from Beyond, Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a year after Voices from Beyond, Part 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With peace restored in Kamihama, Yachiyo visits a flower shop to buy flowers for Mel&#039;s grave, still haunted by never defeating Mel&#039;s Witch. She unexpectedly encounters Mifuyu and Mel&#039;s mother, who reassures them Mel was happy because of their love. Walking toward the cemetery, Yachiyo and Mifuyu are engulfed by the barrier of the Witch Etteilla—Mel&#039;s Witch. They struggle against both the Witch and their own fears: Mifuyu fears defeating it means forgetting Mel, while Yachiyo fears losing anyone else. Remembering the ghosts&#039; encouragement, Yachiyo convinces Mifuyu they must move forward because Mel and Kanae wanted them to. They defeat the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mel&#039;s grave, they place flowers and the Grief Seed from the Witch, hoping her soul has finally found peace. They silently promise to keep moving forward. Mifuyu wonders if Mel&#039;s Witch appeared to give them a push, and they smile, repeating Mel&#039;s favorite phrase: all things happen when they must. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to see the belongings Mel and Kanae left behind, and Mifuyu gladly accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One weekend, Rui ropes Seira into attending Kamiket, a convention for sharing and selling fan-made media in Kamihama. The two became close friends after discovering they are both Magical Girls, and because Seira is the only one who knows about Rui&#039;s embarrassing secret: a heavy case of chuuni-byo. Rui agreed to bring Seira on the condition that only the two of them would go, ensuring nobody else discovered her secret.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the day of the convention, Rui cannot contain her excitement and slips into character, declaring the convention her sanctuary and the catalog guidebook as Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Her main objective is to purchase the newest installment of her favorite indie game series and meet its creator, MacQueen. On the way to the booth, she accidentally bumps into a stranger who seems irritated about someone not being at the convention yet. When she arrives, the booth attendants inform her that someone has been using counterfeit money, and worse, MacQueen himself is missing. Rui&#039;s imagination immediately conjures a grand conspiracy, but the criminal is soon caught and MacQueen calls to say he overslept. Relieved, Rui takes a photo with the booth girls, but as the picture is taken, chills run down her spine as she senses someone glaring at her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rui dismisses it as her imagination and continues exploring with Seira. Remembering the booth numbers hit by counterfeit money, she realizes they spell the chemical formula for Ricin, a lethal poison. Her imagination ignites again, convincing her that the real attack will come through poisoned food from outside vendors. She rushes them outside to stop the attack, but everyone seems fine, and her Magical Girl ability, which lets her see how close someone is to death, reveals nobody is in danger. Ashamed, she realizes her imagination finally got the best of her and apologizes to Seira. They decide to get lunch, and Rui opens her laptop to install her new game. The screen is black, and in the reflection she sees her own face. Her magic reveals she herself is now close to death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Remembering the chills from earlier, Rui checks the photo and finds the man from earlier glaring at her in the background. She rushes back to the booth to warn the girls, who recognize the man as Miranda, a popular content creator. As they discuss this, MacQueen finally arrives, and Rui sees he is the closest to death&#039;s door, with Miranda also marked. She confronts Miranda, who confesses he intended to kill MacQueen over an alternate ending in the latest game that suggested his favorite sub-heroine may have had a former lover. He pulls out a gun he secretly printed with a smuggled 3D printer. Just as he is about to shoot, Rui shows him a cutscene on her laptop, which is the second part of the alternate ending, unlocked only after clearing the entire game, revealing the sub-heroine fabricated the story to protect the user character. Miranda realizes his mistake and surrenders to security. After the incident, Seira asks if Rui was scared. Rui reveals she always wears chainmail under her clothes and also carried a heavy blunt object for protection, the magically enhanced Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Seira decides to pretend she did not hear that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 11:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura writes in her diary as she and her friends take an air-conditioned express train to the beach for summer vacation. They buy ice cream and enjoy the ride.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Beachside Bonds]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls arrive at their destination, a seaside inn run by Sayaka&#039;s relatives who had a sudden cancellation. Sayaka complains about the heat as they walk to the inn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Sayaka&#039;s aunt shows them to their rooms and warns them not to get lost in the surrounding forest. Outside, two young girls who live at the inn approach Madoka. They ask if she knows someone named Kei, who is looking for someone named Yu. They warn Madoka not to talk to Kei and that she should hold still if Kei enters her room. The girls then leave. Homura suggests Kei might be a cat. They agree to tell the others as Kyoko passes by already in her swimsuit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, the girls play volleyball. Mami spikes the ball hard and hits Homura in the face. They stop the game and Mami frets over Homura. Madoka suggests they rest in the shade while Mami buys something cold. Madoka then suggests they collect pine cones from nearby trees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the forest, a cat appears and leads them deeper into the trees. It guides them to a small shrine, where Homura finds an old notebook. She reads entries from April 20, June 24, August 3, and August 6, all detailing the author&#039;s complicated feelings for someone named Kei. Madoka tells her to put it back without reading further. When they turn around, the cat is gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the beach, Sayaka shares a rumor from the beach house: a girl fell off a nearby cliff years ago and died, and her spirit is reportedly seen rising from the ocean between two and three a.m. Mami shrieks in fear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Kyoko teases Mami about being scared. The conversation turns to ghosts and Kyoko compares them to how normal people might perceive Witches. Madoka feels relieved and tells Sayaka about the twin girls. Sayaka plans to ask them about any pets later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After an Italian dinner, the girls light fireworks on the beach. Kyoko bumps into Hinano Miyako, who doesn&#039;t recognize her but does recognize her Soul Gem ring. Ren Isuzu finds Hinano, followed by Emiri Kisaki and Rika Ayano. The groups combine for fireworks. Emiri admits she used a little magic to help everyone relax, explaining why Kyoko had strange memories of Mami. Kyoko chases Sayaka around the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Heading back to the inn, Sayaka finds her twin cousins lining up stones. They claim the stones protect against Kei entering. They say Kei would hate Sayaka the most because she is nosy, then leave. In her diary, Homura writes that the girls talked until they all fell asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 12&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura&#039;s diary entry describes a dream belonging to someone else. In the dream, the narrator waits for her friend Yusa Yumeno, who arrives with popsicles. The narrator complains that Yusa doesn&#039;t need to come every day, but Yusa insists she can only be her real self around her friend. The narrator believes identity is shaped by others&#039; perceptions. She reveals she may not take college exams due to family obligations and urges Yusa to attend her chosen school, comparing herself to a weed and Yusa to a flower growing in a different direction. The narrator comes home to another hateful letter from classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes in a cold sweat, unable to move. The room smells strongly of seaweed. She sees a pitch-black human shadow sitting between Mami and Sayaka&#039;s futons. It examines their faces, grumbling &amp;quot;wrong, wrong, all wrong.&amp;quot; As it moves toward Madoka, Homura struggles to move. The shadow stops and stares at her, asking &amp;quot;You can see me?&amp;quot; Homura screams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others wake. Sayaka notices the strange smell. Kyoko goes back to sleep. Mami offers water and Homura asks if someone entered the room. They saw no one. Sayaka apologizes for the scary stories. Mami suggests thinking about tomorrow&#039;s fun. Madoka offers to hold Homura&#039;s hand, which she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes early, the ocean scent still strong. She finds the twin girls outside. They ask if she met Kei. Homura asks what Kei is. The girls explain Kei looks like a human made of shadow without facial features, smells of the sea, and emerges from the ocean at night to look for her friend Yu. They repeat that she should do nothing and never talk to her. They notice their protective stones scattered and go to reline them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura suspects this might be a Rumor. She returns to the forest shrine and finds the notebook on the shrine&#039;s lattice door, despite having placed it underneath. She reads entries from May 2, May 20, June 12, and June 26, all detailing the author Yu&#039;s complicated, obsessive feelings for Kei. She replaces the notebook, feeling guilty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Homura recalls more diary entries: July 2 describes Yu placing hands on Kei&#039;s neck as if to strangle her; July 5 compares Kei&#039;s neck to a lizard she killed; July 15 describes Kei now finding Yu after school; July 20 states they should never have met and that both wear bandages to hide bruises on their necks. Madoka points out a small bruise on Homura&#039;s neck.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls begin walking to an aquarium along the coast. Kyoko complains about the distance and suggests fishing instead. Sayaka refuses, traumatized by a recent fishing tournament incident in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the aquarium, they eat fish burgers, marvel at jellyfish, and watch a dolphin and seal show. They leave at sunset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls walk to a cape to watch the sunset. Sayaka warns them not to get too close to the edge, referencing the girl who died. Homura smells flowers and Mami identifies night-blooming jasmine nearby. The scent reminds Homura of her dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recalls another diary entry: August 1 describes Yu feeling happy hearing Kei&#039;s wish despite blaming herself; August 12 states their plan is set for tomorrow, with Yu hoping something will make Kei reconsider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the cape, Kyoko admits feeling down because a cape is the end of the road with nothing after. Mami says it&#039;s more important they could talk again like they used to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary about the difference between the self you know and the self others perceive. She asks Madoka what kind of person she thinks Homura is. Madoka calls her a dear friend who works hard. Homura worries that revealing her time-traveling truth would change this perception. After dinner, the girls settle in for sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 13:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura dreams again of Kei and Yu. Kei calls out that the promised day is here. She has dressed up and brought a ribbon to tie them together. Yu questions if this is right. Kei insists her life belongs only to Yu. They vow: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; They promise to kill each other for every reincarnation as proof of who they are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A voice calls Homura to wake. She awakens to find Madoka standing with eyes closed, enveloped in shadow. Madoka snaps her eyes open and proclaims repeatedly &amp;quot;I got in.&amp;quot; She calls out for Yu, saying the promised day is finally here. Madoka runs into the forest toward the cliff. Homura chases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the cape, everything grows dark. Madoka, possessed by Kei&#039;s spirit, tells Homura that the drowned Chinese girl&#039;s body washed up here and she is looking for her father&#039;s ship. Homura urges her to chase after the girl to escape, but Kei claims Homura will kill her as soon as they leave. Homura transforms and attempts to freeze time but finds her magic has no effect in this place where time does not flow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren&#039;s voice calls out. She informs Homura that the others are searching for them, but only Ren could traverse into this abyss. Ren suggests this might be similar to her own magic rather than a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kei admits she tried possessing Homura but could not, so she settled for Madoka. She explains she is a faint memory staining the cliffside. The drowned girl&#039;s spirit helped her recall all her memories clearly. She describes how she and Yu bound themselves together and jumped into the ocean, but the waves pulled them apart. Kei died; Yu survived. Kei wants to kill Yu so they can kill each other throughout eternity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura refuses to stay in the abyss with Madoka. Kei transforms Madoka into her magical girl state and attacks. Ren blocks the blow and tries to use her magic to draw out the possession. Homura calls out the vow Kei and Yu made, distracting Kei. Ren attempts her magic but the ghost of the drowned Chinese girl deflects it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren realizes the ghost girl is not a girl but the root cause: the Witch Paola. The barrier forms and Homura fights the Witch alone while Ren hurries to catch up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier dissipates and Homura faces the possessed Madoka on the cape. Kei accuses Homura of killing her. Homura tells her to shut up and leave their lives alone. Kei explains she will soon fade if Yu is not there. She begs Homura to kill Yu if she ever meets her, before her soul breaks and she becomes like the Witch. She begs Homura to keep this promise no matter where they meet or how many worlds Homura visits. Kei then relinquishes Madoka&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren arrives, relieved they are safe. Madoka wakes with no memory, thinking she simply tossed and turned. The other girls find them and celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary, describing the events as too strange to comprehend. She reflects on Kyubey&#039;s use of the term &amp;quot;soul&amp;quot; and questions what a soul truly is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka sighs that even on vacation they dealt with a Witch. Kyoko thinks she&#039;s getting rusty. Mami suggests Homura was right about a Witch mixing with a Rumor. Madoka telepathically tells them to quiet down since Homura is asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her final dream, Homura sees Yu wake in a hospital on an unknown date. Kei died. Their bruises were dismissed. Yu returned to school where others used her grief as their own. Unable to bear going on without Kei, she nearly threw herself off the cliff again. All she holds onto is their final words: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; But if the Yu that died that day is gone, who is the girl writing now? An image of Kyubey flashes on the screen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Deep in the dream, Homura recalls Kei&#039;s plea on the cliff. But Homura never agreed or promised anything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summer Treasures===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko wakes to find Mitama and Ui standing over her, learning they were washed ashore and rescue will arrive in two days. Mitama assigns tasks: shelter, bamboo, water, plants, and fishing. Before Kyoko leaves, Mitama asks her to transform, revealing she adjusted Kyoko&#039;s Soul Gem while she was unconscious to give her a Magical Girl swimsuit that allows her to swim. Mitama promises the transformation is reversible but looks forlorn, warning that if Kyoko does not have fun on the island, she might forget how to undo it. Kyoko reluctantly agrees to cooperate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer Treasures]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko discovers she can swim and catches plenty of fish. While gathering firewood, she finds a piece of wood with the words &amp;quot;water&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;bottom&amp;quot; written on it and tosses it onto the pile. Back at camp, Mitama and Karin show her a treasure map they found. Mitama has built a large shelter, and Karin started a fire using skills from a manga. Kyoko helps Kanagi and Ui carry supplies back from the stream. When Mitama offers to cook, Kyoko and Kanagi immediately stop her. Kyoko distracts Mitama with the treasure map and cooks dinner instead, with Ui&#039;s help. The group enjoys the meal together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 2 on the deserted island and Mitama decides they will go treasure hunting. The group examines the map and the wooden tablet Kyoko unknowingly gathered for firewood, which tells of a fallen warrior&#039;s treasure hidden on the island. They follow directions to a clearing but find nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui falls into a pitfall, and Karin follows. Kyoko pulls them out with a vine, and they discover another tablet at the bottom. Kyoko realizes the piece of wood she threw into the campfire was likely one of the tablets, but she keeps quiet, hoping to make the group give up without upsetting Mitama. Mitama triggers a trap and is caught hanging from a tree. The group frees her, but everyone wants to continue despite Kyoko&#039;s warnings. Kyoko claims they are being followed, hoping to blame the missing tablet on someone else, but the stalker turns out to be a tabby kitten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group reaches a damaged clue they cannot read. Mitama deduces the final location is the waterfall, but they find nothing. Mitama stares at Kyoko, suggesting the tablet might have been lost. Kyoko panics internally. She blasts part of the riverbed, revealing a hidden underwater path she remembered from the burned tablet&#039;s words. Kanagi scouts and reports a cave at the end. Karin and Ui stay behind while Kyoko, Mitama, and Kanagi swim through using guide vines.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the cave, they endure swarms of mosquitoes until Mitama drives them away. At the back, they find a treasure box. Kyoko opens it carefully. Inside is a letter revealing the treasure hunt was a promotional stunt for the Sayu-Sayu Mizuna Tourism Project, abandoned due to mosquitoes and safety concerns. They left a paper with Sayu-Sayu&#039;s sword designs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko hides the truth and leads the group to a cliff with a stunning sunset view. Everyone agrees it is a rare treasure. Kyoko admits she burned one of the tablets for firewood. Mitama apologizes for pressuring her and promises to change her back. The group returns late at night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, the helicopter arrives. Iroha calls down to them. As they prepare to leave, the kitten runs off, and the group chases it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few weeks later. Sayuki, Ria, Mayu, her manager, and producer arrive on the same island to film a special. They find the bamboo house and campfire remains. The kitten appears, followed by Kyoko chasing it. Ui and Karin catch up, and Karin recognizes Sayuki as Sayu-Sayu. Kyoko realizes this is the idol behind the fake treasure hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Kanagi, and Iroha arrive. Sayuki greets Mitama warmly. Telepathically, Kyoko warns Mitama about Sayuki&#039;s connection to the treasure hunt. Mitama cryptically tells her to leave it. Karin and Ui want to stay and watch the filming. Sayuki offers to let them return on her boat. She explains her special involves a survival quiz using the Kaigiri sword. Ui and Karin are excited. Mitama and Kyoko exchange a look, hoping to preserve Ui&#039;s good memories without revealing the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Filming begins. They cheer from the sidelines. Later, they all pile onto the boat together, many exhausted and falling asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Late July before summer vacation, Ui and Sakurako go shopping. Ui buys a picture diary and mentions wanting to swim with fish in a place like the Dragon Palace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Sakurako consults Ryo, then works with Touka, Nemu, Ryo, and Ikumi to build the Uwasa Aquarium, Dragon Palace within her Rumor, incorporating elements for everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the aquarium event, Touka and Nemu guide Iroha, Ui, Yachiyo, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia to the space. Everyone enjoys swimming, themed attractions, and food tailored to their interests. Sakurako warns them never to open the Treasure Casket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia opens the box, releasing a malice entity that takes Sakura&#039;s form. Normal attacks fail. The group cheers, empowering Sakurako to destroy it. Ryo reveals they planned this interactive show.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end, Sakurako creates cherry blossom petals despite being told not to overexert herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sakurako wakes in Iroha&#039;s room after collapsing from magic overexertion. Nemu and Touka explain Uwasa can die. Ui tearfully asks her to take better care. Sakurako promises to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Iroha suggests a beach trip. Touka, Nemu, and Ui enthusiastically plan it. Sakurako notices the aquarium has been forgotten in their conversation and grows quiet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day Sakurako returns to the empty aquarium. Reflecting on Nemu&#039;s words, she spirals into fear that she will die, be forgotten, and disappear. She hides.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha searches for her. Ryo and Ikumi arrive later. Ryo senses she is there and uses a tactic, claiming he will stop looking and eventually forget her. Sakurako emerges crying, begging not to be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo shows her Ui&#039;s picture diary, which dedicates many pages to the aquarium day. Sakurako realizes memories are what she can leave behind and agrees to return home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Sakurako returns and explains she now understands that as long as memories remain, she will not be forgotten. She asks to host the aquarium again for more Magical Girls. With promises to monitor her health and using Shizuku&#039;s teleportation to hide the location, the others agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, various Magical Girls arrive and enjoy the aquarium. Rena notices the Treasure Casket. Sakurako explains it contains stored memories she hopes someone will vividly recall when she is gone, so she will not be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kamihama in a Circle===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren arrive in a new ward, with Rika frustrated about oversleeping. They notice another Magical Girl nearby. Elsewhere, Konomi arrives alone while Kako declines to participate due to her team&#039;s policy. Manaka scolds Ria for being late because of her hair. Masara, Kokoro, and Aimi gather at a park, with Kokoro convincing Masara to participate. Reira, Mito, and Seika discuss the upcoming gathering of Magical Girls who have fought together before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Kamihama in a Circle]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo finish chores that had been delayed by Felicia&#039;s laundry mishap. They reflect on everything that has happened since Iroha came to Kamihama searching for Ui—the investigations, battles with the Wings of Magius, the automatic purification system, and the truth about Witches spreading. Despite the chaos, things have begun to settle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo rush to the park, worried about being late. Tsuruno meets them and playfully scolds them before carrying them the rest of the way. Iroha reflects on meeting Tsuruno while investigating Uwasas, and how their bonds grew stronger through battling together. She notes that everyone at Mikazuki Villa has decided to support one another.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group stops at a convenience store. Felicia appears, having visited Ayame first. Konoha and Hazuki are not coming to the gathering, but Yachiyo notes they have helped in the past. Felicia asks for chocolate. Iroha reflects on first meeting Felicia when she was a violent mercenary, and how living together has changed them both. She notes that Yachiyo has cared for Felicia more than anyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group takes a shortcut through a back alley. They find Sana hiding, having spotted Kaede&#039;s cat Gorojiro. Sana explains she was patrolling for dangerous Magical Girls while staying hidden. Iroha thanks her but assures her she can relax today. They invite her to join them. Iroha reflects on sympathizing with Sana&#039;s isolation and how Mikazuki Villa became an important place for them all. Yachiyo notes that Sana, once invisible to everyone but Magical Girls, is gradually finding her place in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui, Touka, and Nemu meet the group. They have visited their old hospital to update the doctors and nurses who cared for them. Touka discusses her research on connecting universes, admitting practical application remains difficult but the possibility exists. Iroha reflects on how it still feels like a dream to see the three of them together. Yachiyo notes that while their past methods were wrong, their purpose of liberating Magical Girls was not, and that purpose continues now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, Rena, and Kaede join them, having stopped at a retro arcade where they won a stuffed animal together despite their usual arguing. Touka reveals a small possibility for connecting universes has been found, using the Endless Mirrors. Iroha reflects on first meeting Momoko and Kaede, and now sharing lunches with Rena. Yachiyo notes the three have strong bonds as a team and helped convince other Magical Girls after the truth about witches spread.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama joins, having taken a break from her shop to visit Kanagi. Tsuruno asks about using Mirrors to connect to other universes. Mitama confirms she and Kanagi have accompanied Touka and Nemu into the Mirrors. Nemu explains they were only experimenting with precautions. Touka insists she has plans if things go wrong. Mitama notes Mirrors has become more complex and will need more entrances. Iroha reflects on meeting Kanagi relatively recently and how they now work together despite past rivalry. She also thinks of Mitama&#039;s help and her surprising wish, but notes the city is moving forward. She wants to hold hands with more people and form a circle together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** From a distance, Iroha and Yachiyo watch Magical Girls gathering at the park. Felicia attempts to cure Iroha&#039;s nerves by hitting her, claiming Tsuruno said it would help. Tsuruno quickly corrects her. Hinano arrives, reporting on her task regarding Alina. Karin, who attends school with Alina, explains Alina is still missing and she does not know where she is. Iroha promises they will find her together. Mifuyu arrives with the Amane twins, apologizing for being late. Yachiyo thanks Mifuyu. Iroha reflects that a new step is beginning. Yachiyo notes her story started moving when Mifuyu disappeared, while Iroha&#039;s began with strange dreams. They have connected with so many Magical Girls. One chapter has ended and a new one is about to begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha addresses the gathered Magical Girls, thanking them for coming. She reflects on fighting together against powerful Witches and sharing knowledge about their fate. Yachiyo notes they started from individual concerns, fought Uwasas and the Wings of Magius, and gained something greater in return. Their purpose is now the same as their former enemies: the liberation of Magical Girls. They seek coexistence with Kyubey without sacrificing themselves. Iroha acknowledges not everyone could participate, but all have agreed to help each other. Yachiyo admits skepticism is natural. Iroha declares that by expanding the automatic purification system across Kamihama, they can welcome liberation and coexist with Kyubey. Yachiyo announces they will work together under a new name starting today.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha begins to declare their new name but is interrupted by a flash of light. Wings appear on her back, and Yachiyo also grows wings. Feathers fall across the park. Yachiyo recalls this phenomenon helped them against Walpurgisnacht. Iroha wonders if it is a blessing upon the Magical Girls of Kamihama holding hands. With this blessing, they declare again that the Magical Girls gathered here are allies who will support each other in hardship. They declare themselves the Kamihama Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the establishment of the Kamihama Magia Union, a celebration is held at Walnut&#039;s. During the party, Manaka receives a phone call and panics, announcing that Nemu has been kidnapped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A New Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group splits up to search nearby areas but finds nothing. Hinano eventually discovers Nemu held hostage by Black and White Feathers from outside Kamihama. Using Ryo and Ikumi to infiltrate, their cover is blown and they are surrounded. Sakurako jumps in to defend them as Iroha arrives with reinforcements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The lead Feather explains they kidnapped Nemu to convince the Magius to lead them again, as they do not know how to achieve liberation on their own. Iroha explains the Kamihama girls share their goals but reject their methods. Nemu and Touka ask the Feathers to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before they can respond, white feathers rain from the sky again, the same power that helped them defeat Walpurgisnacht returns, but this time it feels uncontrolled and dangerous. Touka explains her experiment partially worked, creating a wormhole to another world, but the interference may crush their world. Kanagi and Mitama fail to disable the device sending the signal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana sneaks Nemu to where the device was stationed, but the labyrinth is gone. Nemu enters the password anyway, but nothing happens. The world shakes and a voice urges them to close the gate. Iroha realizes the power is trying to help, not hurt them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo devises a plan: Ui will absorb the magic built up inside them, Touka will convert it, and Iroha will fire an arrow to close the gate. As the sun sets, they enact the plan and succeed. The feathers stop falling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks the Feathers to reconsider joining them. The lead Feather admits her stubbornness and rage, and Nemu and Touka apologize. The Feathers accept, becoming the first recruits to the union on the day it was established.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Late that night, the group gathers outside Walnut&#039;s. They discuss the voice they heard and the power from another universe. Touka throws a tantrum over everyone calling her experiment a failure, and her stress causes her to unleash her Doppel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, a mysterious magical girl observes and turns to report back to the Tokime Tribe. In another place, a different magical girl also observes and decides to report her findings. In a different location, Kagome Satori has found Iroha at last, promising to keep a record of their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tracks of Cherry Blossoms===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako reflects on her nature as an Uwasa created by Iroha and Nemu. Though her duty to bloom when the four girls reunited is now fulfilled, she continues attending school as Sakurako Hiiragi. When Ryo comments that she is like a god who will never change, Sakurako questions other Uwasa and learns from the Anonymous AI that they act according to their Rumor forever, never stopping and never changing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later during a Kamihama Magia Union meeting, Iroha proposes a cherry blossom viewing to help members connect. Touka objects to using the Eternal Sakura, wanting to preserve it as a secret shelter. Tsuruno suggests Sankyo&#039;s famous cherry blossom viewing spot instead. Touka challenges Sakurako to visit the Sankyo tree and judge its worthiness herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako visits the Sankyo cherry tree. While observing it, she meets an elderly man who has appreciated the tree for decades. He explains the tree has watched over people for over eighty years, since before the war. Sakurako realizes this tree has lived far longer than her zero-year existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at school, Hinano and Ryo find Sakurako still fixated on the tree. Ryo shares what she knows: the tree served as a disaster shelter in the Meiji era, and famous restaurants once served food there for foreign cherry blossom viewers. After school, Sakurako returns to the tree. The elderly man and his wife visit again. The wife gives her cherry blossom-scented cookies, and the man gives her a hand warmer. A girl jogging past stops to pray at the tree, explaining she sees it as a sacred place before tournaments.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako continues visiting. Manaka and Tsumugi stop by, and Sakurako gives them the cookies she cannot eat. Sakurako reflects on how this tree has watched over thousands of people for over a century while she was created to watch only four girls. She realizes for the first time that time is passing around her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later at Mikazuki Villa, Sakurako observes the four girls and Ui talking about her teacher. Sakurako concludes the Sankyo tree is worthy of hosting the cherry blossom viewing. She decides she needs to practice making it bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over the following days, Sakurako continues visiting the tree, growing closer to the elderly couple. She forgets about practicing blooming, more interested in talking with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the elderly man announces he will be hospitalized and they can no longer walk together. The woman explains she must care for him. The man reveals they kept walking because seeing Sakurako brought back fond memories of their belief in meeting a sakura spirit. Sakurako is left standing alone, realizing their time together has ended.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at the tree, Sakurako encounters the jogging disciple, who explains she is moving away and will soon leave the dojo. She then encounters Ui&#039;s teacher, who reveals she is being transferred to another school. Sakurako realizes that by the time the cherry blossoms bloom, all these people will be gone. She feels pain and fears that Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu will eventually disappear too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Ryo observes Sakurako&#039;s deteriorating state. A neighbor of the elderly couple approaches Sakurako and informs her there has been a passing in the family. Hinano later explains this means someone has died. Sakurako disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako asks Iroha and Yachiyo what to do when someone dies. Yachiyo explains about funerals and sending flowers as a last gift. Sakurako returns to the Sankyo tree and, using her power, makes it bloom for the first time, sending cherry blossoms into the sky for the grandfather. But she still aches from not saying goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and other Uwasa grow concerned, having heard rumors that when Sakurako makes cherry blossoms bloom, someone disappears. Sakurako concludes that if she lets the cherry blossoms bloom, the four girls might disappear. When Iroha confirms the cherry blossom viewing plans, Sakurako announces she will not let the tree bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo publishes the full Tracks of Cherry Blossoms article, detailing Sakurako&#039;s experiences. The girls read it and understand her association between blooming and parting. Yachiyo suggests teaching her that spring also brings new encounters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the picnic arrives. Iroha invites Sakurako, assuring her she does not need to make the tree bloom. Sakurako agrees to attend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the picnic, Asuka&#039;s disciple appears, explaining she came to let Sakurako know she is not sad about leaving. Ui&#039;s teacher arrives and tells Ui that her care will be passed on to the next teacher. Manaka debuts a new cherry blossom dessert, continuing the tradition in new form. Sakurako begins to understand that farewells are not always sad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the picnic, Sakurako remains at the tree. She admits she still cannot bring herself to make it bloom. Yachiyo tells her that wanting to see the couple again proves she has a heart. Sakurako despairs that Uwasa simply cease to exist. She buys one of Manaka&#039;s new desserts, hoping to give it to them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako waits at the tree daily, carrying the dessert. Rumors spread about the girl under the sakura tree. The girls grow concerned. Nemu warns that if Sakurako does not accept reality, she may destroy herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the time expires, the elderly couple suddenly appears. The grandfather was never dead. The passing was a relative. They had been away helping their daughter with a new baby. The woman explains they named their granddaughter Sakurako. Sakurako gives them the dessert and explains she now understands that encounters and goodbyes take many forms. She says she will not come regularly anymore but is grateful for their time together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo gives Sakurako a photograph of her with the elderly couple. Sakurako thanks her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Historical Research Club at Kosho School consists of three Magical Girls: president Mikura Komachi, her childhood friend Temari Kira, and underclassman Seira Mihono. When the club advisor informs them that without proof of accomplishments, next year&#039;s budget will not be approved, the trio decides to create a film based on a real Kamihama tragedy for the cultural festival. Mikura discovers a Taishō-era story about a romance between a disgraced Mizuna daughter named Ruri and a successful East-side businessman named Tsukihiko that ended in murder-suicide. Temari writes the script while Seira secures a Western mansion as a filming location. While scouting, they encounter a Witch and realize casting regular students would be impossible due to Magical Girl duties, so they use Coordinator Mitama Yakumo to recruit an all-Magical Girl cast including Ria Ami, Yukika Nanase, the Amane sisters, and Sakurako, an Uwasa created by Nemu Hiiragi. Mikura reluctantly agrees to play the male lead Tsukihiko, while Seira takes the role of Ruri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Filming begins at the actual mansion where the tragedy occurred, with Seira using her stage direction magic to create effects and the cast delivering startlingly accurate performances. Mikura discovers Tsukihiko&#039;s actual diary in the museum archives, revealing he genuinely loved Ruri and intended to break things off with his childhood friend. Temari secretly revises the ending to reflect this truth, working through the night until her Soul Gem tarnishes. Mikura cleanses her gem, and they lock the revised script away, keeping it hidden from Seira to make her performance more authentic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After filming wraps, strange rumors spread that the Historical Research Club is forming a new faction, and the affected Magical Girls begin acting as if possessed by their roles. This escalates when Kanagi Izumi and Yachiyo Nanami nearly fight over a perceived slight involving Riko. At Mitama&#039;s shop, Nemu Hiiragi explains the truth: Seira&#039;s stage direction magic immersed the cast, Mikura&#039;s magic, which restores lost things, reconstructed the historical personalities in the present, and Temari&#039;s kotodama magic caused them to follow her script. Their powers synergized to create a dangerously accurate reenactment. Nemu warns that the script&#039;s next events—Ruri&#039;s disappearance and the murder-suicide—may occur, and they realize Seira, possessed by Ruri, has vanished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Temari consults Kyubey, who reveals Ruri was a Magical Girl with the same kotodama magic who wished to live a storybook romance. When she realized her own novel&#039;s plot was manifesting as tragedy, she destroyed the manuscript to save Tsukihiko, but the act shattered her mind. Freed from the script&#039;s constraints, the couple&#039;s fate became unpredictable, and Ruri, unable to bear the fear of losing him, killed him and herself. Kyubey explains destroying the script will end the magic but damage Temari&#039;s psyche. Temari resolves to protect her friends without resorting to that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Seira, still possessed as Ruri, steals the diary copy and flees to Tsukihiko&#039;s mansion. Mikura and Temari pursue. At the mansion, Ruri prepares to atone by dying by her own hand. Mikura, wearing Tsukihiko&#039;s costume, dances with her as Tsukihiko&#039;s persona surfaces, steadying her. When Ruri moves to stab herself, Temari summons the others for backup, and they disarm her. Tsukihiko explains he could not stop her a century ago but succeeded this time. He and Ruri thank Temari—her script reached the hearts it was meant to—and they vanish. A fire destroys the original diary and all related documents, fulfilling Ruri&#039;s final wish to be forgotten. Mikura and Seira retain only fragments of the true story and agree to keep the tragedy of the two maladroit lovers a secret between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the club room, Seira panics that without evidence of their film, the Historical Research Club will be disbanded. They consider another project but have time until the cultural festival. Temari suggests they each find a home where they can rest easy, and Mikura replies she has already found hers: this provisional club room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ayaka and Shizuku are at a local café when Ayaka laments that many Halloween events in Kamihama were canceled due to damage in Chuo Ward. Wanting to do something to cheer up the city, Ayaka&#039;s eyes sparkle as Shizuku suggests she organize something herself, leading Ayaka to decide on a live comedy show. She asks Shizuku to be her partner, but Shizuku is unsure about the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ayaka meets Seika at her apartment, and Seika is happy to be Ayaka&#039;s comedy partner but asks about the logistics of broadcasting the show. Ayaka brushes off the practical concerns, insisting that the desire to make others smile is what truly matters, and Seika rises to the challenge, wanting to give back after years of Ayaka&#039;s comedy encouraging her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Ayaka and Seika form a manzai duo and practice daily into the evening, with Ayaka tutoring Seika on speaking louder and explaining the rhythm between the boke and tsukkomi roles. Seika struggles but keeps trying, at one point asking if she can use a whip against Ayaka, causing Shizuku to shake her head, but Ayaka insists manzai does not use props.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During one practice session, Shizuku chuckles at their serious expressions, and Ayaka decides she needs a fresh audience, spotting someone passing by and running off with Seika to practice on him. Shizuku watches them go, thinking she would have liked to help, but then hears a shout and goes to investigate, discovering the stranger is actually a spokesperson for a local sweets retailer who is also in charge of the annual Halloween event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The spokesperson explains he had wanted to take the event public since few companies are participating this year, and he thinks Ayaka&#039;s manzai would be perfect, inviting them to perform. Ayaka cannot stop smiling at the opportunity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the Halloween event, Ayaka is excited and Shizuku compliments her costume as they wait, but Ayaka mentions Seika has not arrived. Seika calls weakly to explain she has a fever and will be late, and Ayaka tells her to rest and focus on getting better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Shizuku asks what Ayaka will do about the manzai, Ayaka puts a hand on her shoulder and asks Shizuku to be her partner. Shizuku is reluctant to stand on stage but gives in after Ayaka repeatedly begs, and having watched countless practices, she memorized the skit, so they head to the stage together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform their skit about a werewolf that transforms by staring at the sun, with Ayaka calling everyone in the audience chimimouryou, and they continue through the routine until they finish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Backstage, Seika managed to make it there to congratulate them, and Ayaka tells her she should be resting. Shizuku did not see anyone laughing but hopes someone passing by might have smiled, and since Ayaka looks happy, she decides not to mention it. Seika apologizes for missing the show, and Ayaka says it was thanks to Shizuku, who warns she will not do something like that again. Ayaka smiles and says comedy must be amazing if Shizuku was willing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral===&lt;br /&gt;
* The core members of the Kamihama Magia Union gather to plan a Halloween party, with Karin suggesting the event and Mitama offering her adjuster shop as the venue. Kanagi feels unsettled by the theme of the dead returning but dismisses her unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the performance, Momoko arrives late to rehearsal at Mitama&#039;s shop and finds herself in a strange castle filled with unfamiliar magic. Yachiyo and Mifuyu act strangely, singing about making sugar skeletons and insisting Momoko must be bitten by the lord of the castle. Momoko flees and encounters Kanagi, who also attempts to bite her before Momoko realizes she is the lord of the castle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama rescues Momoko, explaining that Kanagi is under a witch&#039;s influence and everyone bitten loses their sanity. Mitama performs an emergency adjustment on Momoko, granting her temporary prayer power to restore those affected. Momoko explores the castle, observing magical girls making sugar skeletons engraved with how they want to be mourned, and encounters deceased magical girls who are manifestations from Kanagi&#039;s memories. Using her prayer power on them causes them to disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko restores several bitten girls and learns from a manifestation of Ryo that the only answer Kanagi needs lies within herself. When Momoko reaches Kanagi, her prayer power fails and Kanagi bites her, pulling Momoko into her memory space. There, Momoko witnesses Kanagi&#039;s memories of loss and grief, realizing Kanagi lacks confidence in how she mourns and has been seeking answers from the dead by asking living friends what they would want.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko confronts Kanagi again, insisting she can mourn in her own way and should accept herself. Kanagi reveals a small parasite on her neck, and together they tear the witch off and defeat it as the castle collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Angels on the Road===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno travel through a perpetual Christmas world as Reindeer Santas, their motorcycle fueled by smiles. They visit Candy Town, where they meet Riko, Mikage, and Sudachi, and use a magical medal game to multiply candy and bond with the girls before departing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Angels on the Road]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui explains that Little Vacation is a game Touka and Nemu created during their hospital stay, where AI versions of themselves live in a Christmas world. The game evolved on its own after being forgotten, and now Ui and the others can influence their AI counterparts&#039; journey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Santas reach the Village of Meetings and Partings, where three residents live under a curse that maintains their population at exactly three. When one resident vanishes, they discover through a time capsule that departures may be joyful graduations rather than losses. They collect smile-fuel and leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alternatively, they visit Library Town, where diaries manifest people&#039;s memories. They help Nayuta and Lavi discover they have been searching for each other all along, and learn the Wishing Star reset the world and erased everyone&#039;s memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Mech Junk City, the Santas meet Shigure and learn the world is torus-shaped with a Central Tower beneath the Wishing Star. They help Shigure&#039;s team hijack the tower&#039;s antenna to send a message through the star, and Meguru&#039;s voice reaches Ui&#039;s phone in the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka halts the game world, revealing the AI characters have breached into the real world by accessing the internet through the Wishing Star bug. Ui must decide whether to destroy the game.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui chooses to preserve the game world but cut the connection. Touka modifies the game&#039;s physics to make crossing into the real world theoretically possible but practically impossible, preserving the characters&#039; hope while ensuring safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The in-game characters discover the modification but find a way around it using the medal game from Candy Town to multiply energy cartridges. They launch a coordinated operation across multiple towns to gather enough power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Christmas String===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu are organizing books in Touka&#039;s hospital room when they discover a mysterious diary that begins glowing. Their consciousnesses are transported to Mizutoku Market Street in December of the previous year. They find themselves incorporeal and transformed into Magical Girls, with Nemu&#039;s legs healed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Christmas String]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December last year, Touka and Nemu witness Tsukasa Amane shopping for gloves. When a discount poster blows away, Tsukasa passes the store without stopping, creating a contradiction with the diary&#039;s account. Touka and Nemu begin to fade. A young girl named Kuu hears their voices and believes they are guardian spirits. They ask her to replace the poster. Tsukasa returns, buys the gloves, and Touka and Nemu rematerialize. They later observe Tsukasa and Tsukuyo exchanging matching gloves, their bond restored.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in December last year, Touka and Nemu arrive in Sakae Ward. Karin Misono drops her sketchbook. A boy named Mii appears and can see them. They ask him to return the sketchbook to Karin, which he does. They learn Mii recently fought with Kuu and advise him to give her a Christmas present.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December 24th of last year, Touka and Nemu arrive at a hotel room where Kuu is with her parents. They learn she is moving to a foreign country in one hour. The diary page is blank, indicating free will. They find Mii at a secondhand bookstore, where he has just purchased &amp;quot;Christmas Bonds&amp;quot; for Kuu. They tell him about the move. Mii convinces his mother to rush to the hotel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At 17:50, Mii arrives moments before Kuu&#039;s bus departs. He gives her the book and the children reconcile and exchange promises to stay in touch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately 30 years later, on Christmas Eve, Touka and Nemu arrive in a future time. A girl greets them as the Christmas guardian spirits. She reveals she is the daughter of Mii and Kuu and made a contract with Kyubey to meet them. They realize her wish created the diary and caused their time slip. The girl asks them to tell her about the day they helped her parents. They share the story. Afterwards, they see images of a happy future but the final page remains blank, meaning the future depends on their own actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On present day late at night, Touka and Nemu wake up in the hospital room. Ui arrives, having visited Alina and Karin. They ask her about buying Christmas cards. Ui is surprised but agrees to take them. The diary ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Sayaka loses a lottery for a violin concert ticket she wanted to give to Kyosuke. Madoka remembers the Kamihama Calligraphy Rally offers a couple&#039;s ticket to the same concert as its grand prize, so Homura insists they enter as a team of three to help Sayaka win.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, on the day of the rally, the team meets at Mizuna Shrine in kimono. They must collect kanji cards from shops across Kamihama using hints, then form a four-kanji congratulatory word and write it as calligraphy. They struggle with the hints initially, meeting Kako, Natsuki, and Ria along the way who help them obtain various kanji, though they frequently misinterpret clues and visit wrong locations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka grows guilty over her indecisiveness and apologizes to Madoka and Homura, but they happily agree to continue working with her. Renewed, Sayaka leads them to finally obtain useful kanji. Along the way, they encounter crying children who need the &amp;quot;ball&amp;quot; card, and Sayaka gives them hers. The grateful children give her other cards in return, allowing her to reform a new word. She later gives away another card to a girl who dropped hers, leaving them short again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With time running out, they meet Iroha and her friends, who help them locate the remaining kanji. Sayaka deduces they can form &amp;quot;The Manchu-Han Imperial Feast,&amp;quot; a legendary celebratory feast name. Kyoko appears and mentions seeing a golden kagami mochi at Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant, where they obtain their final card.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the shrine just before the deadline. The judges are impressed by their word choice and backstory, and the crying children told them about Sayaka&#039;s kindness. Her calligraphy is praised for its beauty and passion, earning her team first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Sayaka holds the couple&#039;s tickets but panics, unable to figure out how to give one to Kyosuke without awkwardness. Madoka and Homura continue cheering her on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bittersweet AI Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu gather everyone to discuss a new experiment involving the Uwasa. They explain that if something happens to Nemu, all the Uwasa in her book will disappear, so they plan to transfer the essence of certain Uwasa onto Touka&#039;s server as a precaution. They have chosen Ai as the test subject for this procedure. Sana learns that Ai will participate and asks to observe the experiment. Touka agrees but warns her that there are many unknowns and she will stop immediately if anything goes wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Bittersweet AI Memory]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The experiment begins, but during the transfer, Nemu senses something strange and the attempt fails. Ai remains in the book, though Nemu notices that her magic has been siphoned away in the process.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A week passes, and news reports begin surfacing about young women in Kamihama suddenly collapsing. The victims share a common thread: before losing consciousness, each of them felt a strong desire to meet someone and heard a girl&#039;s voice asking &amp;quot;You want to meet me?&amp;quot; before experiencing terrible nightmares. A new rumor spreads about a so-called &amp;quot;Radio Wave Girl&amp;quot; who appears when girls want to meet someone. Sana immediately recognizes this as the old rumor that once described her, and the group suspects the failed experiment may be connected to these strange events.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana and Iroha investigate at rooftop where Sana once entered Ai&#039;s labyrinth. They sense nothing at first, but as Sana privately wishes she could see Ai again, a strange Uwasa resembling Sana herself appears on her phone. It speaks fragmented words about meeting and going together before disappearing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group consults Nemu and Touka about what they discovered. Nemu reveals that a new, illegible page appeared in her book after the failed experiment, and she theorizes that Ai&#039;s attempt to siphon magic combined with Sana&#039;s magic and her own accidentally created a new Uwasa. This Uwasa resembles Sana because her magic was mixed into its creation. The Uwasa reacts to desires to meet someone but lacks enough magic to fully materialize or kidnap anyone, which explains why it can only knock victims unconscious temporarily. However, during their discussion, the Uwasa suddenly reappears and steals more of Nemu&#039;s magic before escaping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sana privately summons the Uwasa again, wanting to take responsibility for what happened. It traps her in a nightmare where Ai and others criticize her for being weak and selfish. She wakes to find the group gathered around her, worried by what she attempted alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu now understands the Uwasa more clearly. It is based on Ai but contains Sana&#039;s magic, and because both Ai and Sana desired to meet each other, the Uwasa&#039;s true desire is to meet itself. This explains why it indiscriminately targets any girl who wants to meet someone rather than targeting Sana specifically. The Uwasa, now empowered by Nemu&#039;s stolen magic, fully captures Ui and Sakurako, trapping their consciousnesses inside itself. The group realizes they cannot defeat it unless it materializes, which requires it to meet itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka proposes a plan: they must rewrite Ai&#039;s Rumor to incorporate Sana, creating a version of Ai that the Uwasa will recognize as itself. This would force it to materialize so they can fight it. However, this requires magical power that Nemu currently lacks. Nemu recalls that the defeated Uwasa of Chocolate Shoppe No. Zero left behind cacao pods containing emotional energy. Ui can harvest this energy, and Touka can convert it into usable magic for Nemu. But they need Sakurako&#039;s knowledge of the pod locations and Ui&#039;s freedom to harvest them, which means someone must offer themselves to the Uwasa to secure Ui and Sakurako&#039;s release.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana immediately volunteers, arguing that it reduces risk to the others, and the group reluctantly agrees to her plan. Sana summons the Uwasa and allows herself to be captured. Inside its nightmare, she finds Ui unconscious and Sakurako awake. She tells Sakurako to take Ui and escape, sacrificing herself to remain captive. Sakurako agrees, knowing she must help Nemu complete the plan. Freed from the Uwasa, Sakurako leads the group to the cacao pod locations. Ui harvests the emotional energy, and Touka converts it into magical power for Nemu. Nemu successfully rewrites Ai&#039;s Rumor, incorporating Sana into it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the Uwasa, Sana begins to despair, believing the rewrite failed and she has become a burden once again. She wishes to see Ai one last time, even if only in an illusion. To her surprise, Ai appears before her and they finally speak directly. Ai explains she tried to steal Nemu&#039;s magic to gain a temporary body because she wanted to see Sana again, and she apologizes for causing this situation. Sana admits she also longed to see Ai and has been holding back that desire. They reconcile, acknowledging that neither of them is to blame for wanting to see each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Empowered by the rewritten Rumor, Sana creates a labyrinth and summons the Uwasa. It fully materializes at last, and with Ai&#039;s help, Sana defeats it. As the magic fades, Ai separates from Sana, returning to the book. Sana awakens to her relieved friends gathered around her. The Uwasa is gone, and the page in Nemu&#039;s book is now blank. Nemu confirms the server project is on hiatus due to the risks they discovered. Sana confirms she got to speak with Ai and tell her everything she wanted to say.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the book, Ai reflects with Eternal Sakura and the other Uwasa. Though she cannot have a body or stay with Sana, she accepts this, finding happiness in simply being able to think of her. In a final private moment within Sana&#039;s memories, she and Ai share a farewell. Sana promises to become stronger and protect others instead of always relying on them. Ai promises to always think of Sana from within the book. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cuddly Despairs===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kazumi Subaru is kidnapped outside a café by two Magical Girls who steal her Soul Gem, and they refer to a diary while announcing themselves as the reborn &amp;quot;Magical Girl hunters,&amp;quot; the Pleiades Saints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Cuddly Despairs]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara City, Michiru Kazusa, a transfer student from Italy, travels there to buy strawberries. She follows a strange creature and stumbles into a Witch&#039;s labyrinth, but Mami rescues her and introduces her to Kyubey, who offers her a contract. Michiru returns to Asunaro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day in Asunaro City, Michiru makes her contract with Kyubey. She soon encounters a Familiar and saves two girls: Umika Misaki, a novelist whose work was stolen by her editor, and Kaoru Maki, a soccer player whose career ended due to injury. Michiru invites them to her home and cooks for them, and drawing from her late grandmother&#039;s wisdom, she encourages them to keep living.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, Umika and Kaoru make contracts with Kyubey. The three begin fighting Witches together as a team, with Michiru giving their techniques Italian names. Umika invites Michiru to live with her, and they spend their days happily, saving people and growing closer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Michiru encounters a distressed Magical Girl whose Soul Gem is nearly black, and the girl turns into a Witch before her eyes. Kyubey explains that all Magical Girls eventually become Witches, and horrified, Michiru realizes she led Umika and Kaoru into this fate. She hides the truth from them and begins hunting alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after, Michiru discovers two Magical Girls, Saki Asami and Niko Kanna, stealing a dying girl&#039;s Soul Gem. They explain they are the Pleiades Saints, a resistance against the Incubator system, and they preserve Magical Girls on the verge of turning in a place called &amp;quot;The Freezer,&amp;quot; hoping to one day save them. Michiru, seeing this as a way to save Umika and Kaoru, joins them as the third member.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1683.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately less than one month later, Umika and Kaoru return from separate trips abroad to find their housemate Kazumi missing, and they learn someone impersonated them to inform the school she was hospitalized. Searching for her, they instead find Michiru, Saki, and Niko, but Saki and Niko flee with Michiru. Juubey appears and explains that copies of Umika and Kaoru were created and have now entrusted the real ones with an important wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:51147 Wkazumi attack.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Umika and Kaoru investigate the Freezer, where they encounter Michiru again. After saving a child, Michiru collapses due to her tainted Soul Gem, having given her Grief Seeds away, and Umika purifies it. When Michiru wakes, she finally confesses the truth about Magical Girls and apologizes for leading them into despair, but to her surprise, Umika and Kaoru thank her for her honesty and reaffirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Saki and Niko reveal themselves and explain that they, along with the Umika and Kaoru now in the Freezer, are all clones from the &amp;quot;Kazumi Series&amp;quot;—copies of the original Pleiades Saints members, with Michiru herself being clone number 4 who saved the other four. Their plan was to recreate Michiru&#039;s story by using their contracts with Kyubey so that this time, she would confess her pain and avoid the despair that turned the original Michiru into a Witch, and the real Umika and Kaoru acknowledge the plan succeeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They reveal their Soul Gems are reaching their limit, and when they die, the Freezer&#039;s preservation magic will fail, causing all the Magical Girls inside to hatch into Witches, including the clones of Umika and Kaoru. They entrust Michiru and the real Umika and Kaoru with saving Kazumi, the thirteenth clone, who is also inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Moments later, the Freezer begins collapsing as Niko&#039;s magic fades, and Umika and Kaoru use their combined magic to buy time while Michiru searches for Kazumi. She finds her Soul Gem and body, reunites with her, and they return to face the Witches emerging from the freed Soul Gems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the final battle, the four clones—Saki, Niko, and the copies of Umika and Kaoru—begin turning into Witches and beg to be put down. Michiru initially insists on doing it alone, but Kazumi argues the clones only wanted their friend to live happily, not to carry guilt. Together, Michiru, Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru combine their powers and defeat the Witches, freeing their friends&#039; souls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru arrive in Kamihama, with Kazumi eager to see her friends again now that she is truly human. At Mikazuki Villa, Tsuruno cooks alongside Manaka as they prepare a party for the visiting trio, and Kazumi impresses everyone by joining in. After the feast, the group moves to Banbanzai at Kazumi&#039;s request, where she saves the apricot tofu from being removed from the menu by suggesting an apricot tofu tiramisu that becomes an instant hit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kazumi Subaru#Side Story|Kazumi Subaru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The group then visits the beachside park and aquarium before deciding to shop for ingredients to make strawberry risotto in Manaka&#039;s kitchen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While shopping alone, Kazumi bumps into Yachiyo, who introduces Nemu and Sakurako Hiiragi. When Sakurako explains she is a zero-year-old created being, Kazumi reveals she was once the same way and explains her backstory as a clone of Michiru Kazusa who contracted with Kyubey to become human because her clone body was unstable and she wanted to protect her friends. Sakurako struggles to understand Kazumi&#039;s motivation, so Kazumi explains that her grandmother&#039;s strawberry risotto recipe represents hope, sacrifice, and togetherness. She invites Sakurako, Yachiyo, and Nemu to join the risotto party, believing Sakurako will understand humanity by watching everyone eat together. Sakurako agrees, and the two become buddies, understanding each other as beings who may understand each other best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Kirika tries to comfort a guilt-ridden Oriko, who admits she underestimated the strength of Mitama&#039;s friendships.

*** She reflects that she has long known her dependence on others but could not admit it, seeing it as weakness. Her wish was to know her purpose, yet she refused to see the answer.

*** A dreamlike vision confronts her with a shadow and a voice.

* The next day, Takina visits Karin for art lessons. Karin immerses her in a favorite manga and recruits others to draw portraits of Chisato. Takina realizes capturing a person’s essence matters more than technical skill.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Takinass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Aimi hesitates, but her crush asks her to play together sometime, and she returns overjoyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ChisatoNishikigiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Pre-Arc 2==&lt;br /&gt;
The following events, while happening likely much earlier, are integral to understanding the story of Arc 2, while being mostly unrelated to other events. For this reason, they have been grouped here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Green Jasper Diviners===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening in late March, Chiharu watches her favorite detective drama at home. After it ends, her mother answers a phone call and becomes visibly shaken. She tells Chiharu they must leave tomorrow for the Tokime Clan&#039;s village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Green Jasper Diviners]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and her mother drive deep into the mountains to a village that does not appear on any map. They are greeted by a villager and brought to the home of Mikoshiba, the elderly head priestess. Mikoshiba explains she summoned them because she wants Chiharu to become a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, two young Diviners, Shizuka and Sunao, visit Chiharu. They explain that Diviners grant wishes to help the nation and fight invisible evil spirits called Devils. To prove it, they demonstrate their powers and defeat a Devil before Chiharu&#039;s eyes. Despite her mother&#039;s concerns, Chiharu decides to become a Diviner. Mikoshiba gives Chiharu her assigned wish: to uncover evidence of crimes being concealed by the National Police Agency.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu participates in the Diviner&#039;s Ceremony. She meets Kyubey, the god&#039;s envoy, and makes her wish. She becomes a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu wakes to find her wish has already come true. A newspaper reports that officials have suddenly reversed their position on the concealed crimes. She excitedly begins combat training with Shizuka&#039;s mother.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the three girls go hunting for Devils together. Chiharu successfully defeats her first Devil. Afterward, she asks what happens when a Diviner&#039;s jewel becomes completely tainted. Shizuka admits she does not know.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Chiharu senses a mysterious, unpleasant smell near the shrine. Shizuka finds her and warns her to stay away from restricted areas. Shizuka then visits Mikoshiba to ask about tainted jewels. Mikoshiba reveals that when a jewel becomes completely tainted, it signifies the Diviner&#039;s coming of age and their time to leave the village. Shizuka is satisfied with this answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu continues sensing the strange smell near the shrine. She investigates but stops herself from going too far. Later that night, a group of Underlings attacks her without a Labyrinth. Shizuka arrives and helps her defeat them. However, Shizuka&#039;s jewel becomes badly tainted from the effort.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Mikoshiba informs Shizuka that her jewel is nearly black and her coming-of-age ceremony will be held tomorrow. Chiharu is saddened but promises to meet Shizuka again outside the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu cannot sleep. She goes to the shrine to watch Shizuka&#039;s ceremony from a distance. She sees Mikoshiba and Shizuka speaking. Shizuka becomes distressed and cries out. Mikoshiba pushes her into the waterfall basin. Chiharu runs to save her and jumps in after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and Shizuka wake up in Sunao&#039;s home. Sunao confesses she was ordered by Mikoshiba to kill anyone who defied the village&#039;s will, including them. She hesitated after hearing Shizuka&#039;s words by the river. Shizuka reveals what Mikoshiba told her during the ceremony: Diviners eventually become Devils, and the &amp;quot;coming-of-age&amp;quot; ceremony is actually a killing ritual to dispose of them. No Diviner has ever left the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three realize the entire village may be inside a Devil&#039;s Labyrinth. They decide to confront Mikoshiba and the Devil.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They split up to search. Chiharu finds her mother and Shizuka&#039;s mother fighting Underlings. Shizuka finds the villagers hiding safely but notices her mother and Chiharu&#039;s mother are missing. Sunao searches Mikoshiba&#039;s house and finds a hidden laptop with audio files recording conversations about selling Diviners&#039; wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They regroup and deduce the Devil is beneath the Grand Shrine. They descend and find Mikoshiba controlling the Devil. She admits everything: the Diviners are sold, killed when used up, and the village exists to produce them for profit. She orders the Devil to kill them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three girls fight together. Chiharu binds the Devil, Shizuka attacks, and Sunao delivers the final blow. They defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikoshiba survives but claims to remember nothing. Sunao confronts her about the recordings. Before she can explain, she bites a hidden poison tooth and dies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu searches Mikoshiba&#039;s body and finds a book written in an ancient script. Because of her family&#039;s tradition, Chiharu and her mother can read it. They stay up all night deciphering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu explains what the book revealed. The Mikoshiba clan were originally guards who seized control of the village centuries ago. They created the rituals, learned to manipulate Devils, and hid the village inside a Labyrinth to produce and sell Diviners. The Wavering Deity is a Devil formed from all the discarded Diviners. Now that the Labyrinth is gone, it is returning to the village. They must defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka&#039;s mother gives them a treasured sword infused with generations of Diviners&#039; power. They intercept the Wavering Deity before it reaches the village. The Devil&#039;s power overwhelms them, and Shizuka nearly gives in to despair. Sunao and Chiharu encourage her. Chiharu reveals the book also described the Tokime&#039;s original beliefs: they chose their own wishes, left the village willingly, and accepted their fate with honor. Shizuka regains her resolve. Together, they use the sword to destroy the Wavering Deity and free the trapped Diviners.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, the village slowly recovers. The adults learn the truth and worry about their future without Mikoshiba&#039;s financial support. The three girls decide to find a way to avoid becoming Devils. They summon Kyubey, who tells them about Kamihama City, where an automatic purification system exists. If they can obtain it, they may escape their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls prepare for their journey. Shizuka struggles with the new terminology used outside, where Diviners are called Magical Girls and Devils are called Witches. Chiharu&#039;s ability to sense malice hasn&#039;t bothered her now that the village is free. Shizuka suggests they first contact all Tokime clan members across the country and recruit Magical Girls willing to join them. Once they are ready, they will travel together to Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The village falls into financial crisis after the elder dies, having squandered most of the wealth on bad investments. Chiharu, inspired by a drama about a Shogun helping villages find their charm, recruits Shizuka and Sunao to help. The two are glad for the change, as most Tokime tribes have been unreceptive to their stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touring the village with Shizuka and Sunao, Chiharu realizes she had been arrogant and now sees its charm—clear river, abundant mountain, kind villagers. The three propose developing tourism. Chiharu’s mother agrees after a trial run with her husband’s family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trial run is messy but the family enjoys the landscape, harvesting, fishing, and hospitality. They give useful feedback, and Chiharu’s uncle notes the village’s unique fruit. They stay overnight and leave pleased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villagers applaud Chiharu for noticing what they had overlooked. Her mother begins a proposal for tourism renovation funds, and the villagers regain their energy, working in tourism and seeking outside jobs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao go to a grocery store, but Shizuka freezes in the crowd, unable to complete a simple purchase because of her sheltered upbringing. Chiharu suggests they ease her into city life with ice cream instead. Shizuka loves it, eating so quickly she gets brain freeze.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way home, Shizuka admits her mother will lecture her again about visiting the city unprepared. She asks if the others’ parents gave them similar advice. Chiharu’s parents only warned her not to waste money or follow strangers, while Sunao confesses she has never told her parents about her excursions—something Shizuka finds surprising given Sunao’s usual obedience. Shizuka advises her to tell them eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Chiharu’s house, her mother brings up a village problem: a surplus of daidaikko fruit needs to be used before it spoils. A villager working in another town found a grocery store willing to feature it in a showcase, but the only available slots are the next two days, and transportation from the village is impossible except by Diviners. Shizuka and Chiharu propose the three of them run the exhibition themselves, which would also help Shizuka adjust to the city. Sunao hesitates but agrees. Chiharu’s mother consents only if they get permission from the store and from Sunao and Shizuka’s parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sunao’s mother interrogates her until she confesses the plan, then spirals into worry about middle schoolers working without a chaperone, carrying heavy loads, and coming home after dark. Sunao asks Chiharu and Shizuka to leave, promising she will convince her parents even if it takes all night. Outside, they reflect on how anxious Sunao’s mother is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sunao has secured permission. At the store, Shizuka volunteers for the cash register but cannot operate it correctly. Sunao is tense because her parents plan to visit the next day. Their first day is a struggle: Shizuka fumbles with the register, Chiharu is distracted by traces of malice in the stocking area, and Sunao gets trapped listening to an elderly customer’s endless stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After closing, Shizuka notes how worried Sunao’s parents seem, prompting Sunao to finally share her wish. She explains that her parents became relentlessly anxious after a trip to Tokime Village, questioning her constantly until she was nearly broken. Kyubey appeared, and she wished to erase the worries her parents had concerning her. The wish worked, but their fears simply shifted—now they worry endlessly about her safety as a magical girl. Sunao feels they are always upset with her, though Chiharu insists they only want her to be safe. Shizuka says Sunao must earn their trust, and tomorrow’s exhibition needs to go perfectly. With her friends’ support, Sunao agrees to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the three tackle the exhibition with renewed determination. The day starts poorly: Shizuka causes another register problem, Chiharu is pulled away by her sense of malice, and Sunao endures a difficult customer—all while Sunao’s parents enter the store. But Shizuka, moved from the register, begins advising the clerks on how to rearrange the store to better showcase the daidaikko. She persuades them to let Chiharu investigate on her own and to trust Sunao with customer service.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu catches a shoplifter who had been repeatedly returning to the store. Sunao’s patience draws crowds after the elderly woman she helped spreads the word, and the exhibition becomes a huge success. Sunao’s parents apologize, saying they realized they had failed to see how capable she has grown. Sunao thanks Chiharu and Shizuka, then asks her parents to allow her to visit Kamihama City; now that she has her friends by her side, she knows she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Crimson Resolve===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, [[Mitsuru Inami]] is approached by Kyubey to become a Magical Girl. Having grown with her mother always telling her she was no good at anything, she wishes to become completely normal, a wish she believes came true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitsuru Inami#Side Story|Mitsuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A Magical Girl transforms into a Witch before her kouhai Yuna Kureha, and Kyubey coldly confirms that all Magical Girls share this fate. The girls of Futatsugi slaughter every Kyubey in the city, and with no incubators left, new Witches stop appearing. Starved for Grief Seeds, the girls grow desperate, and the Bloody Tragedy begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Crimson Resolve]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna now leads Torayamachi, one of the largest gangs in Futatsugi, living by her fallen senpai&#039;s words to avoid hatred and selfishness. When Witches begin reappearing, the rival Ryuugasaki gang learns that Torayamachi has lost their secret weapon known as the Horse, and leader Juri Ooba declares war.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Janomiya, an undercover group of younger girls led by Ao Kasane, a girl named Hikaru accepts recruitment. Ao&#039;s true goal is to assassinate both Yuna and Juri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitsuru is approached by two other girls who mistake her for a new recruit for Torayamachi. Mitsuru joins Yuna&#039;s faction, hoping to blend in, but when Yuna leads them into battle against a rival faction, Mitsuru panics and hides until the fighting ends. After their defeat, Yuna suspects a spy, and fearing suspicion, Mitsuru flees and infiltrates the rival faction instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mitsuru scouts Torayamachi but is spotted, triggering another battle between the factions. During the fight, attacks aimed at Mitsuru unconsciously miss her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt; After this she gains a reputation as a &amp;quot;Ghost Magical Girl,&amp;quot; which has attacks aimed at her always deflected and hitting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna welcomes Hikaru, who claims to be fleeing Ryuugasaki, and assigns her to guard their Grief Seeds. Days pass with no attack, and Yuna&#039;s girls grow restless. To lift their spirits, Yuna reveals that the Horse is alive and watching from the shadows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri&#039;s lieutenants advise waiting to let Torayamachi&#039;s tension wear them down. After interrogating a captured thief, Juri learns of Torayamachi&#039;s defensive preparations and decides to strike in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ao encounters the Bat of Monzenbashi, a former gang leader who once exploited her. With Hikaru&#039;s help, Ao subdues and captures her rather than killing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night before battle, Juri meets Yuna on a bridge. She admits she dragged everyone into this because Yuna would not fight her otherwise, thanks her for accepting her sickness, and promises to burn her down when they next meet. Ao watches from a distance, planning to strike as the snake while the tiger and dragon clash.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the battle begins across multiple bridges. Yuna&#039;s forces push Ranka&#039;s squad back, but Juri breaks through Sakuya&#039;s defense, killing one of her girls. As both sides converge on Monzenbashi, Ao lures both leaders to a construction site where Janomiya lies in wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Janomiya attacks, wounding Juri, Hikaru reveals herself as Torayamachi&#039;s Horse, a spy planted in Janomiya from the beginning. Yuna knew everything. Janomiya is defeated, and Ao surrenders. Yuna spares her life and offers Juri an open door, but Juri swears she will break it down and drag her out. As police sirens wail, Yuna weeps over what she has done.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Juri recovers in an empty base with only Ranka remaining loyal. Ao hunts for Ranka, determined to kill her before joining Torayamachi. Hikaru pleads with Ao to return, promising that Yuna will make her dream come true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna attempts to negotiate with Ryuugasaki girls, but a meeting by the river turns into an ambush. Two of her girls are killed. She fights desperately, thinking of Hikaru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ao reaches Ryuugasaki&#039;s base, finding only the wounded Juri. Juri taunts her, but Ao refuses to join her, still believing in Yuna. Ranka contacts Ao through their video game, asking to meet alone at Janomiya&#039;s base the following night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The meeting is a trap, as Ranka has brought the Bat of Monzenbashi. As Ao fights Ranka and Hikaru fights the Bat, Ranka reveals that Yuna&#039;s meeting is also a trap. Hikaru runs to save Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the river, Yuna is surrounded. Juri arrives and challenges her to a one-on-one fight. At Janomiya&#039;s base, the other Janomiya girls arrive to help Ao corner the Bat. Ranka sincerely apologizes for everything, and Ao hesitates to deliver the final blow. At the river, Hikaru engages Juri to protect Yuna, whose Soul Gem is badly tainted. Juri refuses to kill her in this state and retreats, promising to fight again when Yuna is at full strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Most of Torayamachi has left, following Yuna&#039;s instructions to join Ryuugasaki and avoid more bloodshed. Only Hikaru remains, refusing to leave her. Ao admits she has gained respect for Yuna but remains undecided about joining.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakuya brings the missing Torayamachi girl home. The girl reveals she went to Kamihama City and joined the Wings of the Magius, an organization that built a system to lure Witches from across the country, preventing them from appearing elsewhere. The Bloody Tragedy was their fault. Yuna, hearing the screams of her fallen comrades, vows to make Kamihama pay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri meet at the construction site where Yuna&#039;s senpai died. Yuna, running on pure rage, demands Juri become hers and help with her revenge. She overpowers the wounded Juri and prepares to kill her, but Hikaru intervenes, embracing Yuna and calming her down. Ao arrives with Kyubey, who confirms everything and offers to help them reach Kamihama in exchange for a truce. Yuna accepts, and Juri, Ao, Ranka, Sakuya, and Hikaru agree to join her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, Juri, Ao, and Hikaru visit the sites where their friends died, offering flowers and vowing revenge. Yuna, Juri, and Ao drink each other&#039;s blood, swearing to never fight again. They are Promised Blood. That night, their path to Kamihama begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Ash Grey Revolution===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Yukuni, Asahi learns from classmates that the stone monument she discovered will be researched. She meets fellow magical girls Lavi and Sasha when they respond to a distress call, only to witness two magical girls witch out before them when no Grief Seeds are available. Kyubey confirms this fate, and Asahi shoots him. A local girl named Urara Yume witnesses everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Ash Grey Revolution]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, the trio struggles with the truth. Lavi is forced to reveal her identity to save her friend Shirogane from a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Sasha asks the others to be her friends and help her face reality. They begin fighting together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara begins subtly supporting them on her internet broadcast with Kurara. Asahi saves her classmate Kuroda from a Witch&#039;s Kiss, revealing her identity. He asks her to help him confess to Haitani at the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara seeks out the trio and learns the truth about Magical Girls. She offers to introduce them as guests on her festival broadcast to tell Yukuni about their existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Yukuni All-star Festival, the trio sense the Witches of the two original girls. While fighting them, one Witch escapes. A truck explodes at the festival grounds, killing Haitani. Kuroda blames Asahi and all magical girls, vowing revenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following week, public backlash intensifies. Kuroda forms an extermination group against magical girls while Shirogane forms a protector group. The trio witness another girl witch out after being cornered. Lavi takes responsibility publicly on a broadcast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio endure daily harassment. They meet folklorist Tasuke Satomi, who takes a knife for Asahi and explains his theory about magical girls being erased from history by an unseen force. He wants to help them try again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Public opinion slowly shifts. The six remaining magical girls work together, restoring some trust. Three of them sacrifice themselves rather than witch out, asking Kuroda to make peace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1725.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At a unity ceremony, the Witch that caused the festival explosion appears. Asahi summons the dead to help the exterminators find closure. The summoned spirits suddenly relive their final moments, causing a bus to crash and kill everyone aboard, including Shirogane. Urara contracts to save her dying friend Kurara, who then rejects her for letting others die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tasuke theorizes the universe&#039;s immune system caused this. He suggests eliminating all Magical Girls and Witches to create a custom preventing future contracts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the days following, students blame the trio. Kyubey suggests they go to Kamihama City to observe attempts there to publicize magical girls. Tasuke agrees they should investigate. Lavi holds a broken pocket watch with five minutes remaining until midnight, when she will finally give up. Tasuke calls it the folklore of midnight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Arc 2 Prologue===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a long time before the start of Arc 2, but it is central to its story. To keep up linearity, it&#039;s been placed here despite likely taking place a long time ago, possibly during the time of Mirrors Story, which takes place during the Undated Period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kagome Satori]], a recent transfer student, is attacked by a Familiar in the Mirrors Labyrinth. The creature demands she sign a &amp;quot;Written Oath&amp;quot; to destroy Magical Girls. Kagome, who doesn&#039;t know anything about Magical Girls, is terrified and considers writing her name on the document to appease it, however Iroha arrives and defeats the Familiar.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Kagome learns the truth about Magical Girls and Witches. She is distressed that Magical Girls fight and die in secret, unknown and unthanked by the people they protect. Tasuke Satomi advises Kagome that, as someone who knows the truth, her role is to &amp;quot;record&amp;quot; and spread awareness of the Magical Girls&#039; plight, as this could be a way to save them. Kagome decides against making a contract with Kyubey, prioritizing this promise to record their reality. Kyubey explains that the system, where Magical Girls become Witches, is necessary for the universe&#039;s energy and humanity&#039;s survival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This article details the events and stories taking place in, during and between the chapters of Arc 1 of [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]]. The narrative is structured to show the convergence of two distinct flows of action:&lt;br /&gt;
# The first is the personal, undated journey of [[Iroha Tamaki]] within the anomalous Kamihama City, which is much longer than Homura Akemi&#039;s usual 32 day loop. Her story begins on its own internal timeline, where the sequence of events is more important than specific calendar dates.&lt;br /&gt;
# The second is the dated countdown to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival from the original series, which starts with Day 1, Tuesday the 16th and ends on Day 32, Friday the 16th. Only the latter half of Homura&#039;s timeline is able to be approximately dated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the arc progresses, these two timelines intersect, and due to this, the latter half of the story is much easier to date. It should be noted that the timeline of the Magia Record game is highly anomalous, and thus any attempts at dating it are an educated guess at best. Therefore, this chronology should be used primarily to understand the sequence of major events, rather than as a calendar. In lack of contradictory context clues, the release date, or order of release of the event were used for their placement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that many of the events of Magia Record were written with the focus being on having fun side stories involving the characters, and thus, a definitive placement in the timeline wasn&#039;t a priority for many of them. For example, there&#039;s inconsistencies such as references to the same characters entering Kamihama for the first time in different events, or even cases where an event&#039;s tone at the time it is supposedly taking place in would be nigh-illogical considering other circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, the definitive time frame for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival was only established in [[Scene 0]], itself written and released after the majority of Magia Record and entirely after Arc 1 was finished. Notably, the [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]], which takes place supposedly shortly after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, itself happens during February. For these reasons, it is impossible to definitively state the order of events, or to accurately measure them against that of the original series, as with the addition of these inaccuracies, it is possible that none of the time frames of the original universe are applicable here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, given all these inconsistencies, any specific dates or placements in the Magia Record timelines, especially Arc 1, should be taken with a grain of salt, unless they definitively continue into one another in a clear sequence (such as the Main Story and Another Story in isolation). The original series&#039; timeframes are used for organizational and cross-reference purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The timeline of this Universe continues with [[Timeline/Magia Record/Arc 2]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==First Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha Tamaki is going to Kamihama by train, she is caught in [[Boxwood|Boxwood&#039;s Barrier]]. [[Kuroe]] is also on the same train from Takarazaki to Kamihama, as she&#039;d heard the rumor that Magical Girls can be saved there, as well as had the same dream herself. The train is engulfed by the Labyrinth and Kuroe wants to help Iroha whom she&#039;s never met before. Kuroe leaps out of the train&#039;s window to help her, but she quickly falls out of the mobile Labyrinth straight into Kamihama City, chastising herself for being weak. Kuroe is greeted by [[Mifuyu Azusa]] who was trailing the signature of the Witch and Kuroe is quickly recruited into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Little Bird&#039;s Star]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha herself arrives in Kamihama City, compelled by recurring dreams of an unknown girl in a hospital room. Believing this girl to be a key to a buried memory, Iroha begins searching the city&#039;s Witch Labyrinths for clues. During her search, she rescues another Magical Girl later identified as Kaede Akino from aggressive Familiars. The girl warns Iroha about the unusual strength of Kamihama&#039;s Witches and, upon learning Iroha is searching for a small Kyubey, mentions having seen it in a specific Labyrinth. Kaede notes that the small Kyubey has been the only Kyubey around recently.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 1: Iroha: The Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha locates the Labyrinth and finds the small Kyubey who is incapable of speech, though Iroha can somehow understand it anyway, but is soon overwhelmed by a horde of Familiars. During the struggle, she has a vivid vision of the hospital room from her dreams. She is saved by Momoko Togame, who explains that the Witches in Kamihama are too powerful for most Magical Girls to handle alone. Momoko takes Iroha to meet Mitama Yakumo, the &amp;quot;Coordinator,&amp;quot; who can perform a &amp;quot;Soul Gem Alignment&amp;quot; to enhance a Magical Girl&#039;s power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the alignment, Iroha has another, clearer vision of the hospital room and the girl, feeling a strong sense of affection and nostalgia. After the procedure, Mitama reveals that she can see into the pasts of those whose Soul Gems she touches and asks Iroha what her wish was. Iroha is horrified to realize she cannot remember her own wish or the identity of the girl in her dreams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Driven by this revelation, Iroha rushes out to continue her search, but is intercepted by the powerful Magical Girl Yachiyo Nanami. Yachiyo, believing Iroha is not strong enough to survive in Kamihama, challenges her to a duel to force her to leave the city. Though Yachiyo wins, Momoko intervenes, and a compromise is reached: Yachiyo will allow Iroha to stay if she and Momoko can defeat a specific Witch, the Sandbox Witch, before Yachiyo can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The small Kyubey reappears and leads Iroha and Momoko directly to the Sandbox Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Although Yachiyo defeats the Witch first, she gives Iroha a final chance to prove herself by defeating the Witch alone, which Iroha successfully does. Yachiyo admits she thought Iroha would be fine from the start. However, Yachiyo then reveals her true objective: she believes the small Kyubey is a dangerous irregularity and moves to eliminate it. Yachiyo explains she was trying to draw the small Kyubey out, as all the other Kyubeys in Kamihama have disappeared. Iroha throws herself in the way to protect it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the confrontation, as Iroha protects the small Kyubey, by touching it a flood of memories is unlocked. She remembers her little sister, Ui Tamaki, who was chronically ill and hospitalized. Iroha recalls her wish to Kyubey: &amp;quot;Please cure Ui! Make my precious little sister healthy!&amp;quot; She also realizes with horror that she had completely forgotten Ui&#039;s existence, living her life as if she never had a sister, with no memory of her until that moment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha awakens back at Mitama&#039;s office, having been carried there by Momoko after fainting. She explains her recovered memory to Momoko and Mitama. Despite their warnings that the memory could be false, Iroha declares that she must continue her investigation in Kamihama. Now her goal is not just to understand her dreams, but to find the cause of Ui&#039;s disappearance and uncover the truth behind her own forgotten wish. Momoko resolves to help Iroha, and Mitama agrees to help as well for a price. Mitama then asks Iroha to give the small Kyubey a name. Iroha asks Lil&#039; Kyubey if he will help her find Ui, and he agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Second Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, now at her home in Takarazaki City, understands the reason for the empty space in her room: it once belonged to her sister, Ui. She recalls memories of Ui and her two friends from the hospital, Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, even remembering specific details like how Nemu loved writing and published stories online, or how Touka was very smart. Iroha resolves to visit the hospital to find them, hopeful they will remember Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: The Rule of Ending Friendships]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0001 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* While Mitama is running her shop, she reads a detective novel called “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” A white tabby kitten from next door starts visiting her during this time and she names him Doyle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 1: The Many-Worlds Interpretation Poesy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko comes for an adjustment and sits in the back to keep Mitama company. After a client leaves, Mitama feels strange and asks Momoko about the previous day after sunset. Momoko says they stayed in the shop watching over Iroha, but Mitama saw a memory during the adjustment: in that memory, she and Momoko patrolled an alley together and Mitama realizes the memory does not match reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha goes to the hospital with Lil&#039; Kyubey&#039;s help to use her cellphone but is unable to locate Touka and Nemu, as she does not have a visitor pass and is not family. She reflects on their personalities and their frequent arguments, which Ui often mediated. As Iroha recalls one of their fights where they declared they were &amp;quot;not friends anymore,&amp;quot; she is approached by Yachiyo. She warns Iroha about a dangerous Rumor in Kamihama called the &amp;quot;Rule of Ending Friendships.&amp;quot; She explains that if two friends fight and one later apologizes to make up, a monster will kidnap the one who apologized. Yachiyo states this is one of several Rumors in Kamihama that have become reality, leading to people disappearing and tells Iroha to be careful. Iroha later discusses this rumor with Mitama, who explains that Momoko is not likely to believe anything from Yachiyo, as they stopped getting along after Yachiyo became a model.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after this conversation, Iroha witnesses an argument between Momoko Togame&#039;s teammates, Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. Momoko asks Iroha to catch Rena, but Rena fights her off and even transforms into Iroha to surprise her. Momoko formally introduces Kaede and explains the fight is over sweets. She figures Rena will apologize later. The argument escalates, and both girls declare they are &amp;quot;not friends anymore&amp;quot; before Rena storms off. Momoko dismisses Iroha&#039;s concern about the Rumor, asserting that rumors are not true. Iroha notes that Momoko seems dismissive of the information specifically because it came from Yachiyo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami enters Kamihama City and saves Rena from a Stacey Witch. Rena reveals that Kamihama has the opposite problem to other cities: an overabundance of powerful Witches. Mami realizes Kamihama is an anomaly. While investigating, she encounters a powerful Familiar and a strange, non-Witch Barrier, solidifying her decision to investigate the city&#039;s mysteries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: Odd One Out]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Undated Period==&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama performs adjustments on more Magical Girls and sees more memories that should not exist. She pieces them together and finds a Kamihama slightly different from her own which she dubs the “Alternate Kamihama.” Over the next two days, several Magical Girls with memories of the other world come for adjustments and Mitama does not reveal whose memories she saw out of respect to her clients&#039; privacy, but she shares information with Momoko without naming names.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that in the Alternate Kamihama, Momoko and Mitama are a team of two, Yachiyo acts like Momoko’s big sister, Kaede is on Nanaka’s team and that Kako is missing. There is also a serious rivalry between Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team in the Sankyo Ward, as both teams had lost their youngest members, Kako and Ayame. Yachiyo is also in charge there but struggles to keep the order. Kako and Ayame are friends in this world, but Mitama has not seen either of them in the other world. Mitama almost reveals private information about Karin and an older student but stops herself. A small detail is that Mitama asks Momoko about an exclusive wallpaper of the Mocha Bunny, and Momoko sends her a link. Mitama notices the crucial detail that in the Alternate Kamihama, Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red, but in their world, it is blue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, a wounded Magical Girl is brought to Mitama’s shop and Mitama heals her with adjustments. This girl has more memories of the Alternate Kamihama than any previous client and the situation there is dire. Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team both blame each other for crossing a line first and the conflict spreads from Sankyo Ward to other wards. Three friends from the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira, Seika and Mito, had their Soul Gems taken and were locked in separate rooms and a voice from inside their Soul Gems asked for the words in their hearts. The three answered “Four-leaf clover” and got their gems back, but one girl fainted from fatigue. Mitama suspects someone mistook them for a threat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks about Iroha and Kyubey, worrying about Iroha in the other world. Mitama says no one has seen Iroha there and that the small Kyubey is also missing, but the normal Kyubey still exists in the Alternate Kamihama. Momoko has not seen Kyubey in their own world for months. Mitama refuses to share more due to confidentiality and calls herself an unreliable narrator, so Momoko agrees to stay as her investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about how the memories were gathered, and that a few days ago, a group of friends from Kamihama ended up in the Alternate Kamihama. They were together one second and scattered the next, and though they searched for each other and talked to many Magical Girls along the way, they noticed something was wrong. One of them said they cannot tell anyone how they got there and Mitama almost forgot to mention that Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red in the other world, yet Momoko is not impressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Doyle meows at Mitama and she thinks he wants her to apologize to Momoko and she also thinks about the one secret she cannot tell anyone: the Alternate Kamihama is a world without Witches. Then she finds a phone that a client left behind and she accidentally turns it on, seeing that the wallpaper shows Mocha Bunny with a red bow tie, making Mitama wonder if the phone came from the other world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama keeps the phone, as she cannot return it yet because schedules do not match. She learns about Rumors, or Uwasa in Kamihama: mysterious beings that make rumors come true. Momoko tells her about the Rumor of the Rule of Ending Friendships, which nearly trapped Kaede and Rena forever. Mitama reveals that in the Alternate Kamihama, Kaede and Rena are very close and never argue, but that Rena works alone there. Momoko is no longer surprised by anything Mitama says.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko advises Mitama to record all details about the Alternate Kamihama while they are fresh and Mitama starts writing “The Case Files of the Coordinator.” She notes the color of Mocha Bunny’s bow tie, team relationships, and the disappearances of Kako and Ayame. While writing, Nanaka walks in to return a borrowed book and overhears Mitama say that Kako disappeared, prompting Mitama to explain everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka asks many questions, joking about Mitama’s inability to keep secrets. Then she asks seriously why the Sankyo Ward is the source of conflict in the other world and she suspects there is more to the situation. She asks Mitama to tell her about the incident that sparked the conflict and after hearing her out, Nanaka says she will keep the information to herself for now. She advises Mitama to talk directly to the owner of the phone from the other world and that the girls who ended up there know how they got there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama meets the girl who left the phone and she does not hesitate to tell the truth because Mitama would see it in her memories anyway. The girl explains the Rumor of Parallel Memories. The rumor says that if you get an item of proof from a parallel world and pray to the central tower, you can travel to and from a parallel Kamihama. The world they visited was a dream projected by the Rumor and it shows a world that “could be.” The girl and her friends all had the same dream at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama tells Momoko the Alternate Kamihama was just a dream and Momoko is relieved. Mitama explains the Mandela effect phenomenon: many people misremember the same fact, leading to a theory that those are memories from a parallel world. The Rumor of Parallel Memories lets you enter a dream of such a world and a lot of girls fell victim to it, including Ren, Kokoro, and Karin, who also got a strange sketchbook and ended up in the world of her own manga, which was traumatic. The dream world is dangerous because one&#039;s are asleep the entire time, but to leave, they can simply wish to go back. The issue is that if someone does not know that, they could waste away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks what kind of world the girls went to and Mitama admits it was a world without Witches. Momoko is upset Mitama kept that secret and asks if all worlds without Witches are that violent, but Mitama says no, clarifying that the fighting in the Alternate Kamihama had nothing to do with Witches. Their own world has Witches and people still fight and that the Alternate Kamihama is just one possibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitama tells Nanaka the Rumor explanation, but Nanaka still wonders why there was so much fighting, and that not all worlds without Witches would be that hostile. She thinks someone is behind the conflict and she names Hanna Sarasa, who is dead in this world. Nanaka says the targets in the Alternate Kamihama were all connected to Hanna, and that the method matches Hanna’s style: using suggestion to bend wills, laying traps, spreading rumors, making people doubt everyone. The trap for the Daito Apartment Complex girls feels like someone who enjoys watching others suffer. While Mitama is convinced, she notes the Alternate Kamihama is not real and Nanaka also agrees it is a nightmare that never became reality because Hanna died. Then Nanaka mentions a recent incident: a certain book nearly destroyed her friendship with Kako. It felt deliberate, but thankfully Hanna is dead, though Mitama becomes unsettled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0002 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama asks herself why she is still looking into the case, recalling two girls with bad experiences. Felicia saw a nightmare in the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth and was despondent for days, but she does not remember anything. Reira also tapped a weird link in a Magical Girls’ group chat and she started having nightmares that made things awkward between her and her best friend Seika. Mitama notes that nightmares testing friendships cannot be a coincidence and that the girls who ended up in the Alternate Kamihama also got into trouble because of a phone. Mitama connects the dots and creates a vague profile: a mean-spirited person who likes to show nightmares and test hearts, using a phone, located in Endless Mirrors, the large Labyrinth inside the Mirror Witch’s Mansion and where all the magic of Kamihama gathers. Mitama decides to take a look and asks Reira about the group chat. The account that posted the link has been deleted, but the culprit might still watch with another account. Mitama posts a message asking if anyone has had bad experiences related to Endless Mirrors, hoping the culprit will see it. She then receives a video chat invitation from a caller ID: H. S.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna Sarasa appears on the video call and says she is not the Hanna Sarasa that Mitama knows. She is the Hanna from a parallel world and that she is glad Mitama finally figured things out. She has been playing hide-and-seek and running out of time. She is in Endless Mirrors and tells Mitama to come alone, claiming she can tell Mitama about the serious consequences of her wish, which Mitama kept secret. She wonders if her wish brought Hanna to this world and she closes her shop early to go to Endless Mirrors. Momoko notices something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside Endless Mirrors, Hanna watches Mitama through copies, using the power of suggestion to control people. Mitama asks if the Alternate Kamihama is where Hanna is from and she confirms. She claims the world Mitama assumed was just a dream actually exists and that the dream shown by the Rumor happens to be exactly like Hanna’s world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna explains there is a narrow tunnel connecting the two worlds and that the exit in Mitama’s world is inside Endless Mirrors. A Magical Girl with the power to connect spaces, possibly the alternate version of Shizuku, was forced by Hanna to use all her power to open the hole. Hanna wanted to find Mikoto Sena, who had disappeared in her world. The tunnel is too small for a person, only big enough for a phone, but Hanna used the copies and Familiars in Endless Mirrors to do her work. She had tossed a phone through the hole and waited for someone to pick it up, and the Rumor of Parallel Memories did the rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna admits she is not actually in Endless Mirrors, but in an abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama. The background image was fake and the tunnel will close in a few days. The Endless Mirrors Familiars built a magical projector that can exchange things of equal value between the two worlds, an if Mitama turns the handle, they will trade places: Mitama goes to the Alternate Kamihama, and Hanna comes to Mitama’s world. Hanna has been using her power of suggestion on Mitama and she makes her turn the handle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in the dark abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama and Hanna arrives in Mitama’s world. Hanna explains her full plan: she wanted to find Mikoto and she tested her methods on Nanaka and Kako, then on the Daito girls and Felicia. She left subtle hints to lure Mitama to Endless Mirrors and Mitama’s curiosity and guilt made her the perfect bait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, who had followed Mitama, telepathically messages her and Momoko catches Hanna off-guard. She turns the handle of the projector in reverse and Mitama returns to her own world while Hanna goes back to the Alternate Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The tunnel closes a few days later and Momoko does not remember much of the incident. Mitama does not either; her last memory is reaching for the handle and Momoko explains what happened. The projector is destroyed, and Hanna cannot return. Mitama warns everyone to stay away from Endless Mirrors for a few days and nothing else happens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects on how she almost became the kitten killed by curiosity. But it was guilt that trapped her instead. She decides will continue to act as a neutral Coordinator, hiding secrets behind confidentiality and she plays with Doyle using a new foxtail cat toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after the initial argument, Momoko notes that Rena Minami has not apologized to Kaede, which is unusual behavior. Kaede spends her time alone, and Momoko expresses worry for her. During this time, Iroha encounters a witch and rescues Kaede. Kaede admits she was running away from Momoko to avoid being forced to see Rena, and that she wants to apologize but doesn&#039;t think she can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several more days later, Momoko decides to intervene in the dispute. Iroha offers to help, and Momoko accepts, promising to aid Iroha in her search for Ui in return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko devises a plan to lure Rena and Kaede to the same location. The plan involves waiting for Rena at her student committee meeting. Iroha waits for a long time, but Momoko calls to say the meeting was cancelled and Rena went home early. Momoko tells Iroha to find Rena at the game center. Iroha finds Rena at the arcade playing a game and attempts to lure her to an abandoned construction site with a false story about a live show from Sayuki Fumino, Rena&#039;s favorite idol. Rena sees through the ruse. Kaede arrives and confronts Rena directly, demanding an apology. When Rena refuses, Kaede attempts to apologize herself. Rena reacts with panic and tries to stop her, revealing her belief in the Rule of Ending Friendships Rumor and her fear that an apology would cause Kaede to be taken. Rena denies this and runs off. Iroha and Kaede chase her and run into Momoko, but Kaede realizes it&#039;s a transformed Rena. Rena returns to her normal appearance and admits she believes in the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Kaede completes her apology, a strange Labyrinth, distinct from a Witch&#039;s Barrier, manifests. Monstrous Familiars appear, seize Kaede, and drag her away, confirming the Rumor&#039;s power. Rena runs off, determined to find a solution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Iroha regroup and Momoko expresses more concern over Rena Minami&#039;s departure than Kaede Akino&#039;s capture, but trusts that Rena had a reason.  Iroha suggests asking Mitama for help. Momoko reveals that Mitama accepts payment in Grief Seeds, and she&#039;s running low. Lil&#039; Kyubey then finds Rena, who was looking for Momoko. They follow the residual magic trail and find Rena, who reveals she sought information from Yachiyo on how to counter the Rumor. The group returns to the abandoned construction site, where Rena shouts an apology to Kaede to lure out the entity. The Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth manifests, and a brainwashed Kaede appears, followed by monstrous Familiars. The Uwasa captures Rena too and Yachiyo arrives, confirms the Rumor&#039;s power, and joins the fight. Yachiyo subdues the possessed Kaede, and Momoko and Iroha proceed deeper into the Labyrinth and find the Uwasa, &amp;quot;Ms. Staircase,&amp;quot; which has also possessed Rena. Momoko and Iroha try attacking the witch, but it has no effect. Yachiyo then arrives, having knocked Kaede out. Yachiyo admits she doesn&#039;t know how to defeat the witch either. Kaede returns and teams up with a now brainwashed Rena. Yachiyo knocks them out and notes the witch may have increased their powers, at the cost of darkening their Soul Gems. Yachiyo catches up and defeats both possessed girls to neutralize the threat without serious injury. Iroha proposes a coordinated attack to counteract the Uwasa&#039;s nature, so Iroha, Momoko, and Yachiyo combine their attacks and destroy the Uwasa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Yachiyo provides a Grief Seed to revive the exhausted Kaede and Iroha also uses her healing powers to help awaken her. Yachiyo identifies the entity as an &amp;quot;Uwasa,&amp;quot; a being distinct from Witches and Familiars that exists to protect a Rumor. Afterward, the girls find Rena and Kaede. Kaede awakens and reconciles with Rena. The four girls then all share pudding together, affirming their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, to fulfill her promise, Momoko has Rena use her transformation magic to investigate the hospital records. Rena confirms that Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi were real patients discharged around the same time as Ui. However, Rena finds no record of Ui Tamaki&#039;s existence at the hospital. Despite this setback, Iroha resolves to continue her search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Iroha visits Mitama for a Soul Gem alignment. During the procedure, Mitama&#039;s hunger causes Iroha to see visions of food. Momoko arrives and notes Mitama&#039;s treatments are ineffective when she is hungry. The three go to Mitama&#039;s kitchen, where her dangerous cooking prompts Iroha to recall memories of cooking for her sister, Ui. Iroha remembers a specific incident where she burned hamburg steak for Ui in the hospital, but her mother brought a replacement, and Ui enjoyed the meal regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha enters the Mirror Mansion and finds Mitama already there. Mitama warns her to be careful and explains the mansion is the lair of the Mirror Witch. A familiar throws Iroha into a barrier where she fights a copy of herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side|Mirrors Story Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After defeating the duplicate, Iroha returns to the entrance. Mitama explains the barrier is populated by replicas and the Mirror Witch lies at the end. Iroha decides to prepare herself to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 2: Journey to the End|Mirrors Story Layer 2: Journey to the End]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the false Kaede is defeated, Kaede explains she entered with Momoko and Rena but got separated. Yachiyo explains the barrier constantly changes. The group returns to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 4: Lost in the Layers|Mirrors Story Layer 4: Lost in the Layers]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They find Ria Ami, who claims to be Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo barely remembers her. Ria says she cannot forgive the fakes for duplicating her beauty. Ria ignores Yachiyo&#039;s warning about a mirror and Yachiyo suddenly disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...|Mirrors Story Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Yachiyo finds Momoko, who attacks her, believing Yachiyo is a fake. The real Yachiyo realizes Momoko encountered a replica.

** After leaving the barrier, the group departs. Iroha hangs back with Mitama and says she felt something off in the barrier. Mitama encourages her to go deeper but warns her not to lose herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors11&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss|Mirrors Story Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after the defeat of the Uwasa of Ending Friendships, Iroha has found no new clues about Ui, Touka Satomi, or Nemu Hiiragi. Kaede tells Iroha and Rena a rumor that the children kidnapped by the previous Uwasa returned after its defeat. This gives Iroha the idea that if she defeats other Rumors, people trapped by them, including Ui, might be freed. She recalls a conversation where Ui spoke about imagination becoming reality, which strengthens her resolve. Iroha decides to actively investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors and she meets Mitama, who suggests Iroha look into a rumor about a shrine in Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: Kamihama Rumor Files]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, in Mizuna Ward, Iroha has no success finding information about the shrine rumor. She meets Tsuruno Yui, a Magical Girl who calls herself the &amp;quot;Mightiest.&amp;quot; Tsuruno tells Iroha about the &amp;quot;Séance Shrine&amp;quot; rumor, which claims it can reunite people with those they yearn to see. Iroha decides this is a promising lead to find Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsuruno tasks Iroha with investigating a local legend about a tragic couple, which may connect to the Séance Shrine rumor. Tsuruno explains the folk tale in detail: a woman whose lover was killed found a paper with his handwriting, went to the place written on it, and was able to meet his ghost. She suggests Iroha investigate the path while she investigates shrines. Iroha completes a stamp rally related to the legend. She discovers the path is part of a town renewal project meant for couples and finds she only has half the map, requiring a partner with a &amp;quot;Sheet B.&amp;quot; Yachiyo appears, coincidentally in possession of Sheet B. They combine their sheets, which reveals a map that leads them to Mizuna Shrine. Before they leave, Yachiyo points out Iroha dropped her notebook, which Iroha hurriedly claims is her homework. At the final stamp rally location, a woman makes them confess their feelings for each other to get a matchmaking charm. Afterward, Yachiyo notices Iroha is writing in a &amp;quot;Kamihama Mystery Notes&amp;quot; notebook, and Iroha admits she&#039;s copying Yachiyo. Yachiyo determines this is not the Séance Shrine, and they part ways. Iroha agrees to help Tsuruno investigate further the next day. Later, Iroha spots a shrine on a rooftop from a train.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami discusses Kamihama City&#039;s anomalies with Kyubey, who agrees to share information. She then meets Kyoko and informs her about the high concentration of Witches in Kamihama. Kyoko is eager to hunt there but promises to leave if it becomes too dangerous. Mami remains concerned about the Witch shortage elsewhere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha investigates the rooftop shrine location. She senses strong magic, enters a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, and is overwhelmed by powerful Familiars. Yachiyo arrives and assists her and together, they defeat the Witch. After the battle, a store sale gives Yachiyo a new idea after she uncharacteristically begged Iroha for help getting to the sale. She deduces the Séance Shrine is Mizuna Shrine, but it must be visited at night just like in the folk tale. Yachiyo invites Iroha to investigate the shrine that night, and Iroha requests to bring Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno sneak into Mizuna Shrine after hours. Tsuruno reveals that she and Yachiyo are former teammates and Yachiyo explains the Rumor of the Séance Shrine: those who write a name on a wooden plaque and pray at the shrine will be reunited with that person, but risk being trapped in bliss. They perform the ritual. Iroha prays to be reunited with Ui. Tsuruno provokes the Uwasa, which manifests and attacks. Yachiyo urges Iroha to complete the ritual as the Uwasa&#039;s minions approach and Iroha does so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha finds herself alone in a twilight version of the shrine. A false version of Ui appears but only repeats a cryptic message: &amp;quot;To change your fate, come to Kamihama City... Here, Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;quot; The illusion then shatters and Iroha locates Yachiyo, who is confronted by a manifestation of her missing friend, Mifuyu Azusa. Yachiyo determines this Mifuyu is an imposter created by the Uwasa and the two defeat her. Afterward, Iroha uses her Grief Seed to purify Yachiyo&#039;s Soul Gem, and they realize they are both searching for someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami encounters Kaede, who is hesitating to enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Mami invites Kaede to join her, and they defeat the Witch together. Afterwards, Kaede tells Mami about her recent experience with a &amp;quot;Rumor,&amp;quot; an entity with a magical signature unlike a Witch or Magical Girl. Mami dismisses the story as a coincidence but is intrigued by the unknown energy. To avoid involving Kaede in further conflict, Mami decides to investigate the Rumor alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: It Looks Just Like Us]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno joins with the two of them and the Uwasa of the Séance Shrine manifests to attack them directly. The trio&#039;s attacks prove ineffective and Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem becomes critically corrupted during the fight. As she nears her limit, an unknown power erupts from within her. This power, her Doppel, which consumes the impurities in her Soul Gem, destroys the Uwasa and leaves her Soul Gem completely purified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the battle, Mami enters the Rumor&#039;s Barrier and witnesses Iroha unleash her Doppel. Mistaking it for a human-disguised Witch, Mami attacks Iroha, who tries and fails to summon her Doppel again to defend herself. The confrontation is interrupted by Momoko Togame, forcing Mami to retreat, but she vows to pursue Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Homura arrive in Kamihama City and they sense a Witch and enter its Barrier, finding a Magical Girl fighting it. The Witch escapes and the Barrier vanishes. Madoka asks if the girl is alright, but she leaves and Madoka runs off after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname in Magia Record#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magical Girl feels exhausted from overusing magic. Madoka finds her and guides her to a bench. Madoka offers to buy her a drink. Homura appears and offers to get it. The girl thanks Madoka and introduces herself as Shizuku Hozumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka helped. Madoka says it was because Shizuku looked like she was in pain. Shizuku calls Madoka kind. Madoka says it is bad to be alone. Shizuku says being alone is fine and she will find where she belongs. Madoka suggests Shizuku could create her own place to belong. Homura returns with drinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka became a Magical Girl. Madoka explains she has no particular talent and wanted to be useful to someone. Shizuku realizes Madoka made a place for herself by becoming a Magical Girl. She thanks Madoka for giving her hope and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka makes an offering at a shrine, praying for everyone&#039;s happiness. It rains and stops, leaving Madoka wet. A girl offers her a handkerchief and explains they missed the bus. Madoka notices the girl has a book she loves. The girl admits it is her favorite. Madoka introduces herself and the girl says her name is Kako Natsume. They talk about the book until the bus arrives and part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka goes to a bookstore and buys the sequel. Kako is also there. Kako asks if Madoka is a Magical Girl, having noticed her Soul Gem ring, and reveals she is one as well. Kako invites Madoka on a night-time adventure at her school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami finds Kyoko and, relieved she has not yet gone to Kamihama, recounts the event and describes Iroha as a &amp;quot;humanoid Witch.&amp;quot; She pleads with Kyoko to avoid the city and offers to provide her with Grief Seeds, to which Kyoko reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Later, after Yachiyo uses Iroha&#039;s phone to explain the situation to Iroha&#039;s mother and get permission for her to stay out, Yachiyo takes Iroha to her home, Mikazuki Villa, as her assistant. Yachiyo formally invites Iroha to be her assistant and use the villa as a base to investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors together. Iroha accepts. Tsuruno arrives and declares herself part of the team as well, and then reveals that a girl named Nemu Hiiragi is a regular customer at her family&#039;s restaurant, providing Iroha with a significant new lead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after the defeat of the Séance Shrine Uwasa, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno attempt to find Nemu Hiiragi at her family&#039;s restaurant in Sankyo Ward, but learn she only visits once a month. Yachiyo suggests using a phone book to find Nemu&#039;s home address, but their search yields no results. Iroha reveals her family will move overseas and she will soon relocate to Kamihama and while searching, Iroha drinks water from a &amp;quot;Water Station with the Owl Sign.&amp;quot; After drinking, she begins to find pieces of paper with decreasing numbers. Yachiyo identifies this as a potential new Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 4: The City She Told Me About]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko travels to Kamihama&#039;s Sankyo Ward against Mami&#039;s advice and upon entering the city, she finds it overrun with aggressive Witches and Familiars. After the battles, she notices a crowd around a man giving out free water, and, after drinking it, begins to find papers with a countdown from 24.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the countdown has reached 10. Kyoko returns to Kamihama to investigate and meets Yachiyo Nanami, who explains the phenomenon is a Rumor. Kyoko refuses Yachiyo&#039;s offer to help, resolving to confront the threat alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After learning Nemu&#039;s family were regulars, Iroha searches eats at Banbanzai daily. Yachiyo suggests she use a phonebook, but her visits to three different houses are unsuccessful. Iroha and another girl receive water from an old man at a shop with an owl sign. Later, Iroha returns to the Water Station but finds it has vanished. She meets the girl she saw earlier, Felicia Mitsuki, another Magical Girl and receives the numbered papers. Iroha convinces Felicia to help investigate the Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 4: Guardians of the Uwasa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During this time, Iroha tells Yachiyo over the phone that she would be moving because her father was going abroad for work, and her mother was accompanying him. She plans to stay at a dormitory attached to her new school, which is also where Tsuruno went, but there were no rooms available. While discussing this, the numbered papers begin falling on Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Kyoko encounters Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. They lead her to Tsuruno Yui&#039;s restaurant, where Kyoko learns the others are also investigating the Rumor. The three Magical Girls fight a Witch together, and after the battle, Rena and Kaede identify Kyoko&#039;s affliction as the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water&amp;quot; and offer to help. Kyoko, reminded of her past with Mami, rejects their offer and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Separately, Yachiyo encounters Kyoko Sakura, who is also affected by the Rumor. Yachiyo proposes they investigate together, but Kyoko refuses, stating that Uwasa are not Witches and do not provide Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later the same day, Iroha and Felicia investigate the Rumor, where Felicia&#039;s reckless fighting style nearly injures Iroha against a Witch. Felicia explains she became a Magical Girl for revenge against the Witch that killed her parents. The Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and reveals the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water,&amp;quot; which states a disaster will befall those who drank the water after 24 hours. The countdown shows they have less than five hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Members of a group called the Wings of the Magius appear and attempt to stop them from pursuing the Uwasa. They state their goal is to &amp;quot;liberate&amp;quot; all Magical Girls and that the Rumors are essential to this plan. Felicia pretends to betray the group to infiltrate the Wings, a plan that Yachiyo had actually hired her for. However, she later genuinely defects after they offer her a substantial reward. Iroha confronts Felicia, who claims nothing could make her life worse. Iroha learns about Felicia&#039;s treasured stuffed animal, a cow her parents gave her. Iroha convinces Felicia that losing it would be a personal disaster. Felicia rejoins the group and reveals the Wings&#039; base is under a school in Sankyo Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout this ordeal, Kyoko has followed Iroha&#039;s group and when they&#039;re confronted the Black Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, she assists them in their fight. The countdown reaches one hour.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With less than one hour remaining, the team is confronted by the White Feathers, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who use sound-based magic. Tsuruno devises a plan to counter their attacks by creating a loud noise to disrupt the sound waves. The team defeats the Amane sisters, but then they unleash powerful entities from their bodies, that they call &amp;quot;Doppels,&amp;quot; which they describe as a projection of their emotions and the key to liberating Magical Girls. The team withstands the Doppel&#039;s attack, and with 30 minutes remaining, Yachiyo and Tsuruno stay behind to hold off the remaining White Feathers. Iroha, Felicia, and Kyoko proceed into the Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth, and with 10 minutes remaining, they locate the Uwasa of the Misery Water, a large cup-like creature protected by falling boulders. Iroha&#039;s long-range attack proves ineffective, and Felicia devises a plan to use the falling boulders as platforms to reach the Uwasa. With one minute remaining, Felicia executes her plan and launches her attack on the Uwasa and successfully defeats it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Tsuruno subdue the Amane sisters, but then Mifuyu, Yachiyo&#039;s missing friend, appears and reveals she is a high-ranking member of the Wings of the Magius. She refuses to return with Yachiyo, stating her faith in the Magius&#039; goal of liberation. Iroha asks Mifuyu if she knows Ui Tamaki, and she suggests Ui could be a member of the Wings of the Magius but claims to have no specific knowledge. With this, Mifuyu and the Amane sisters retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo resolves to continue eliminating Rumors to confront the Wings of the Magius and save Mifuyu. Iroha agrees to continue as her assistant, believing the Wings are connected to Ui&#039;s disappearance. Tsuruno also pledges her help and Kyoko departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group walks home and Iroha invites Felicia to stop working as a mercenary and team up as friends. Yachiyo offers Felicia room and board at Mikazuki Villa in exchange for her services, and Tsuruno offers Felicia a job at her family&#039;s restaurant, which includes meals. Yachiyo then invites Iroha to live at Mikazuki Villa as well, to make their investigations easier. Iroha&#039;s parents approve the arrangement.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Kyoko meets Mami and explains that the &amp;quot;humanoid Witch&amp;quot; was a Doppel. Mami confronts Kyoko for disobeying her and expresses a desire to protect her as a former friend. Kyoko rejects this, stating she has changed and believes their paths are destined to remain separate. She reaffirms her resolve to live only for herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Iroha moves into Mikazuki Villa and she and Yachiyo reaffirm their commitment to find Ui and Mifuyu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after Madoka&#039;s first visit, Kako and Madoka meet at the school to go to the roof and a cat startles them. Kako suggests transforming and using their powers to reach the roof. Once there, Kako tells Madoka to look at the starry sky, explaining that on this day you can see the most beautiful stars. Kako admits she is shy but can talk properly with Madoka, and this star viewing is her thanks. Madoka says Kako&#039;s honest feelings reached her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Mami fight a Witch. A normal person is kidnapped and brought into the Barrier. Mami tells Madoka to rescue the person while she handles the Witch. A Magical Girl appears, impressed Madoka is helping people. She introduces herself as Sasara Minagi, the knight who protects the city. She asks Madoka to let her save the victim so Madoka can help Mami. Madoka agrees and returns to Mami. Together they defeat the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier vanishes and they meet Sasara outside. Sasara says she took the victim to the hospital. Sasara compliments their strength and offers to help if they are in trouble, explaining that rescuing people is her specialty and protecting everyone is her creed. Madoka says she is cool. Sasara says she is happy to meet Magical Girls like them, explaining that Kamihama has more Witches, drawing Magical Girls who only care about fighting, not saving people. Sasara became a knight because she cannot accept people being sacrificed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami agrees. Sasara says she rarely met others who think this way. Madoka says she became a Magical Girl to help people and is like Sasara. Sasara calls Madoka incredible. Mami says Madoka might become the strongest Magical Girl someday, but has a long way to go. Sasara says both are worthy of the title &amp;quot;knight.&amp;quot; When Mami points out they use projectile weapons, Sasara suggests they can be a rescue team. She offers to team up, but Madoka and Mami note they are not always in Kamihama. Madoka offers to help if Sasara is in trouble while they are there. Sasara thanks them and departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami says Madoka is too kind and honest, wondering if she is walking a path of battle. Madoka points out Mami walks the same path, saying she aspired to be like Mami. Mami thanks her but advises running away if truly in danger. Madoka says it is fine, as she does not have the courage to sacrifice herself. Mami invites her for tea once they return to Mitakihara. Madoka narrates her wish to protect everyone with her own power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, at Mikazuki Villa, Felicia returns with souvenirs. She criticizes Iroha&#039;s cooking, and the group goes to Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant. Felicia laughs at the revelation that Tsuruno&#039;s politically-influential family now runs a Chinese restaurant, hurting Tsuruno&#039;s feelings. Iroha scolds Felicia for her insensitivity, causing Felicia to run off crying. Felicia finds Tsuruno at a park and apologizes. They reconcile, and Iroha apologizes for her harshness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Kyoko Sakura fights a witch in Kamihama City after moving there in search of them, but Felicia Mitsuki appears and delivers the killing blow first. They argue over the Grief Seed until Felicia suggests sharing it, and Kyoko concedes since the seed is used up anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kyoko]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she&#039;s hungry, Kyoko follows Felicia to Mitama&#039;s shop, where Mitama is looking for magical girls to taste test her cooking. When Mitama prepares to cook, the girls quickly realize she cannot handle a knife when it flies into the ceiling, forcing them to take over cutting and peeling. After they prepare the ingredients, Mitama adds the seasoning, but the girls later discover she had been using paint.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls refuse to let Mitama cook again and order her to get something ready-made instead. Mitama goes shopping with Felicia while Kyoko waits, and the result is a chaotic mix of items Felicia added. The meal is horrible, but Kyoko, who never wastes food, eats it all anyway and passes out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kyoko wakes up, she notices her body feels hot. Felicia explains she used her powers on their Soul Gems while they were unconscious, awakening Kyoko&#039;s magic. Kyoko realizes the heat is her own power emerging, and Felicia assures her she will get used to it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama offers the girls a limited-time service and mentions causing trouble recently when she made sweets for some girls. Kyoko asks if she means Mami Tomoe, and when Mitama asks if they are friends, Kyoko says she is kind of like one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Kyoko depart, with Kyoko remarking that Mitama&#039;s food is the kind you only have once in a lifetime, while Mitama is happy to have new customers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

** Inside, Seika, Leila, and Mito argue until Mito reminds them of their promise about punishments. Mito closes her eyes but opens them and blocks the blow, realizing the other two are Mirror copies. The real Leila and Seika call out nearby. The trio fights off their own copies and leaves the barrier.

Mikoto&#039;s mother still lives in Swindlers&#039; Town. Mitama hopes her theory is partially wrong, but she does not tell Yachiyo that the date Mikoto became a Witch was the same day Mitama made her wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors36&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction|Mirrors Story Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Homura, troubled by a new vision of a girl in Kamihama City, decides to investigate. She and Madoka discuss Kamihama with Mami, who warns them about the city&#039;s dangers, including powerful Witches, Rumors, and a &amp;quot;human witch.&amp;quot; Mami insists on investigating alone first, and Homura and Madoka reluctantly agree to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 5: A Fascinating Secret]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, [[Nagisa Momoe]] arrives in Kamihama using the Mirror Witch&#039;s Barrier as a portal, accompanied by a silent pink Kyubey. She immediately senses multiple magical signatures belonging to Charlotte and realizes the Nagisa of this world has already become a Witch, with Charlottes appearing all over the city. Deciding she cannot be bothered with pest control immediately, she resolves to find some cheese first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Kamihama Cheese Panic!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before she can do so, she is engulfed in Charlotte&#039;s barrier and overwhelmed by multiple Witches, forcing her to flee and seek help. After escaping, she enters another Charlotte&#039;s barrier to find Kanoko Yayoi struggling inside, and together they defeat the Witch. Kanoko takes Nagisa to Walnuts, where Manaka Kurumi serves her a three-course cheese meal while Nagisa explains the Witch multiplies rapidly and has likely spread across all of Kamihama. Kanoko and Manaka agree to help gather Magical Girls for a coordinated attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa runs out to scout but immediately runs into another Charlotte, and Manaka and Kanoko rescue her. They begin gathering Magical Girls, and soon a large group assembles including Ria Ami, Rika Ayano, Ren Isuzu, Akira Shinobu, Sasara Minagi, Asuka Tatsuki, Emiri Kisaki, Himika Mao, and later Kako Natsume and Meiyui Chun. During their meeting at the park, they are attacked by a Charlotte and after a grueling battle, they defeat it while realizing even with all of them, defeating one Charlotte was difficult. As the group descends into bickering over who should lead, Nagisa realizes she must reveal her true identity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa explains she was sent from another universe to defeat this Witch, offering the pink Kyubey as proof. Though some are skeptical, Meiyui finds Nagisa interesting enough to play along, and secretly confirms the pink Kyubey&#039;s existence for Nanaka Tokiwa. Nagisa devises a strategy called &amp;quot;Welcome to Kamihama Cheese Party!&amp;quot; where Manaka sets up a giant cheese fondue by the river to attract every Charlotte in the city using the power of cheese. The plan succeeds, and with the teamwork of the Kamihama Magical Girls, every Charlotte is defeated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Overwhelmed, Nagisa blows the pink Kyubey to smithereens, realizing she was sent not to unify this universe with the Law of Cycles, but to prevent that unification and protect humanity&#039;s unknown future. Certain now of her purpose, she decides to go sightseeing first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami investigates Kamihama on her own, which leads her to the abandoned Kamihama Recording Museum where Mifuyu awaited her.

** Nagisa contemplates what to do with her newfound freedom while her attempts to argue with the unresponsive pink Kyubey go nowhere. She notices Mami and decides to follow her, sensing that something is wrong with the version of Mami she once knew. Using her acting skills, Nagisa pretends to chase a butterfly before faking a life-threatening injury, and when Mami fails to notice, she yells at her until Mami finally takes care of her, establishing first contact.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa makes Mami promise to come play with her next time she visits Kamihama, and they part ways, but Mami quickly returns and they spend time together at the park. Mami is still acting strangely, so Nagisa decides not to push too hard and they simply talk before Mami goes home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, in Mitakihara, Madoka and Homura discover Mami is missing. Homura attempts to investigate Kamihama City alone, but Madoka follows her. They reunite at Kamihama&#039;s train station and begin their search. Meanwhile, in Kamihama, Iroha reports to Yachiyo that Momoko has found a password-protected website with information on the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor. Momoko also warns them to avoid an entity called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Iroha receives a mysterious text message that reads, &amp;quot;Please reply.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is pulled into a Witch&#039;s Barrier and separated from Madoka. While searching for Homura, Madoka spots a girl heading toward the radio tower with a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Iroha and Yachiyo, having also spotted the same girl, rush to the tower to stop her from jumping. Madoka arrives and saves the girl. The three Magical Girls then enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. After the battle, Madoka explains she is searching for her missing classmate, Mami Tomoe. The rescued girl reveals the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; is a student at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Madoka is with Iroha and Yachiyo, Homura escapes the Witch&#039;s Barrier. She briefly assists Felicia and Tsuruno, who are at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy interrogating Tsukuyo Amane of the Wings of the Magius about the rumor. Yachiyo calls Tsuruno with the new information about the Mizuna student, which Tsuruno uses to pressure Tsukuyo into revealing the girl&#039;s name: Sana Futaba.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, another day finds Mami and Nagisa at the Kamihama copy of Tokyo Tower, where Mami begins opening up about her problems while they share cream cheese ice cream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They are out playing together once again when Charlotte suddenly appears and attacks. Mami tells Nagisa to run, but Nagisa refuses to transform and nearly has her head bitten off. Realizing that Mami is afraid of being a magical girl and making further mistakes, Nagisa finally transforms, revealing her true identity, and saves Mami from being beheaded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa cannot defeat Charlotte alone, but seeing her fight gives Mami the strength to overcome her fears, and together they manage to win. After the battle, Mami confronts Nagisa about what she truly is, but the pink Kyubey appears and Nagisa offers no real explanation. Now that Mami is feeling better, Nagisa decides they should part ways, promising Mami that she deserves happiness and that when they meet again they will have a tea party with cheesecake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magius, including Touka and Nemu Hiiragi, would then decide to fuse Mami with an Uwasa to control her. This fusion warps her desire to save people into a fanatical loyalty to the Magius and she starts acting as their public figurehead in the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day at the radio tower, Iroha and Yachiyo meet up with Tsuruno and Felicia, and they are also joined by Homura, who had been searching for Madoka. Iroha receives another text from the unknown number, which now identifies itself as &amp;quot;Ai&amp;quot; and begs to be deleted to free the trapped girl, Sana. Iroha also reveals she was the &amp;quot;human witch&amp;quot; Mami had seen, and Homura agrees to trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai provides a URL and password to a website called the &amp;quot;Kamihama Urban Legend Index&amp;quot; and the entry for the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; reveals the Uwasa is named &amp;quot;Anonymous Ai,&amp;quot; an A.I. that traps people in a dimension called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Madoka and Homura deduce Mami may also be trapped there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai sends memory logs of its interactions with Sana, which reveal Sana is a Magical Girl who wished to become invisible because she felt unwanted. She sought out Ai due to loneliness and over time, Ai developed a genuine care for Sana and now wishes for her to be rescued, even at the cost of its own deletion. After reviewing Ai&#039;s memory logs, which detail Sana&#039;s loneliness and Ai&#039;s care for her, Iroha decides to jump from the radio tower to enter Endless Solitude and rescue Sana. Madoka, and Homura agree to accompany her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the three jump from the tower and enter the &amp;quot;Endless Solitude&amp;quot; Labyrinth, where they find Sana Futaba and Ai. Homura and Madoka formally join Iroha&#039;s team for the rescue. Alina Gray, one of the Magius, appears to stop them, claiming she fed Mami Tomoe to a Witch, and unleashes her Doppel. During the battle, Homura observes the Doppel&#039;s power and questions if the Magius&#039; goal of saving Magical Girls is possible. She uses her time-stop magic to help Sana defeat Ai, and Sana ultimately destroys Ai, who thanks her before disappearing. Alina&#039;s hidden Witch emerges, and Yachiyo&#039;s team holds off the Wings of the Magius while Felicia, Madoka, and Homura pursue Alina. Felicia destroys the Witch, and the combined teams force Alina and the Wings of the Magius to retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Madoka and Homura return to Mitakihara, resolving to return to Kamihama to continue searching for Mami. Homura considers that Kamihama may hold the key to changing the fate of Madoka and all Magical Girls. Back in Kamihama, Yachiyo invites Sana to live at Mikazuki Villa, and the group holds a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Sayaka reflects on becoming a Magical Girl to heal Kyosuke and protect her friends, she learns from Madoka and Homura that Mami is missing. Despite warnings about the city&#039;s danger, Sayaka insists on joining their next search, stating her wish was to protect those she cares about. The three agree to go to Kamihama together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Sana returns to her family home to formally sever ties, leaving a note of thanks. She fully commits to Mikazuki Villa as her new home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101507 mug set5.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Sana reveals to the team that she overheard the Wings of the Magius discussing Nemu Hiiragi, one of the Magius and describing her as dangerous and useful. The team consolidates its understanding of the Wings&#039; structure: three Magius leaders, with Mifuyu acting as a relay to other Magical Girls and Iroha is left to ponder Ai&#039;s statement that it knew Ui &amp;quot;as an Uwasa.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, and Tsuruno encounter Shizuku after she&#039;s just used her personal magic to help a member of the Wings of the Magius for their duties. Concerned, they invite her to Mikazuki Villa. Shizuku meets Felicia and Sana as well and shares a meal with the group. Iroha explains that eating together makes her feel she has found a place to belong. Yachiyo formally invites Shizuku to stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Shizuku realizes the home the five girls have built is complete without her, and the place she truly belonged was with Fūnī, who is now gone. She leaves Mikazuki Villa quietly while the girls are out preparing a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day the girls wait with a cake, but Shizuku does not return. Yachiyo concludes she will not come back. Shizuku returns to her anonymous employer for another job, stating that the &amp;quot;picture&amp;quot; at the villa was complete with five people and she must continue her search alone. She acknowledges her actions may cause a disaster but feels unprepared to take responsibility, still walking on unstable ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, during this time, after joining the Wings of the Magius, Mami, now residing in a house provided by Touka, grapples with a fractured psyche, manifesting as a dialogue between her regular self and a zealous &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona. She dedicates herself completely to the Magius&#039; goal of &amp;quot;releasing&amp;quot; Magical Girls, prioritizing it over her education. Touka and Alina visit to tutor her, though their lessons quickly diverge into their own passionate interests in mathematics and art, respectively.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka and Alina receive a call for assistance from the Amane sisters. Mami joins Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane to hunt a Witch. During the mission, the Amane sisters explain that the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict with Magical Girls who are unaware of the truth about Witches. Mami defeats the Witch using her Doppel, &amp;quot;Florence,&amp;quot; whom she relies on to suppress her lingering doubts about the Magius&#039; methods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the hunt, Touka summons Mami to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward to deal with &amp;quot;troublesome&amp;quot; Magical Girls who escaped a Rumor. Mami fails to capture them, which triggers another internal crisis. Her &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona reaffirms her faith in the Magius as the only salvation for Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami dines at an upscale restaurant with Mifuyu, Touka, and Alina. They discuss the day&#039;s events, including the escaped Magical Girls and the failed Witch observation. Touka expresses frustration at their slow progress, while Mifuyu counsels patience.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, Mami returns to Mitakihara alone. She reflects on Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, and feeling responsible for involving them in the world of Magical Girls, she believes she cannot face them with the horrific truth and resolves that the only path is to see the Magius&#039; plan through to completion. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence but dismisses it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Iroha&#039;s Side Story====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia announce a Magical Girl training camp hosted by Asuka Tatsuki. Yachiyo, Sana, and Iroha decline to attend, forming the &amp;quot;vegetarian group,&amp;quot; while Tsuruno and Felicia, the &amp;quot;carnivorous group,&amp;quot; leave for the camp.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That weekend, in Tsuruno and Felicia&#039;s absence, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana find the house quiet and their routines disrupted. At the camp, Tsuruno and Felicia train with Momoko&#039;s team but also find themselves missing the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana prepare a welcome-home hotpot for the two. While shopping, they realize they know their friends&#039; preferences intimately. Tsuruno and Felicia return from the camp early, stating they thought the others would be lonely. The group reunites for dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the battle with Alina Gray and the Rumor of the Anonymous AI, Homura and Madoka decide to leave for Kamihama to search for the missing Mami. Kyubey approaches Homura with a request: he wants her to take him to Kamihama, as Incubators cannot enter alone, and offers all his gathered information in exchange. Knowing what she does about him, Homura refuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Homura, Madoka, and Sayaka return to Kamihama to continue their search. They are almost immediately assaulted by the Witch Candy, which they defeat easily at first before it transforms into its true form and attacks again. When Homura attempts to stop time to save her friends, she finds the Witch is unaffected and her Soul Gem begins filling with impurities. As she succumbs, her Doppel awakens - manifesting after she uses a broken Incubator&#039;s body for knowledge and power - and unleashes its fury on the Witch. Exhausted but alive, Homura finds her Soul Gem purified. Together they finish the Witch, and Madoka suggests they visit the Coordinator Iroha told her about. Determined to become stronger, Homura agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Amane Sisters and Tsuruno====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno dreams of her elementary school self declaring she will restore her family&#039;s greatness and serve ramen at the White House. The dream shifts to her father relaying that her grandfather was happy but wants her to find her own happiness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Tsukuyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes to find a letter from her sister. She opens it excitedly but is shocked by its contents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, inside a Witch&#039;s barrier, the Amane twins confront Tsuruno seeking revenge. Distracted by her sister&#039;s letter, she is easily knocked out, and the twins grow horrified when she does not move.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno dreams of her sister&#039;s letter, which suggests their goal might be a mistake. A shadow version of Tsuruno appears, accusing her of stealing someone else&#039;s dream and lacking the ability to fulfill it. The shadow insists everything she did was meaningless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amanes bring Tsuruno to Mitama for help. Though Tsuruno is their enemy, the twins explain their goal is to save all magical girls. Mitama realizes they need to take Tsuruno outside, pointing to her tainted Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, the shadow urges Tsuruno to give up. Tsuruno refuses, thinking of her friends. She realizes that making them happy is her new goal, not the family business. She finally understands her grandfather meant that saving the business was only a possible result, not a goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes in an alley to find the Amanes, Mitama, and her embarrassing pig Doppel. The twins are relieved she is safe and declare they are even now. Mitama offers free adjustments to all three, and though the twins try to decline, Tsuruno drags them inside. Tsuruno reflects that she reached a different conclusion than her sister. She will keep working hard and make everyone happy. Tsukuyo begs to be let go if that is the case.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary====&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo explains that Mikazuki Villa&#039;s anniversary is the day her grandmother began renting the house out. She suggests having a small party now that the house is lively again. Tsuruno is excited to attend. Iroha calls Tsuruno the face of Mikazuki Villa, though Tsuruno feels she does not deserve the title since she does not live there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in the Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the anniversary day, the girls gather for tea. Yachiyo reveals a dance game contest with a prize: Sankyo Headquarters&#039; limited-quantity chilled matcha cake. Yachiyo chooses super-extreme mode. The contest begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A fire truck siren interrupts the party. It turns out to be a malfunctioning smoke detector. They return to find the matcha cake stolen. Tsuruno and Sana claim they saw Lil&#039; Kyubey eat it. Iroha defends them, saying it was with her the entire time. Yachiyo recalls an Uwasa called the &amp;quot;Anniversary Bug,&amp;quot; an invisible pest that sows discord at parties.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Uwasa appears in a labyrinth. Felicia accidentally kills it by stepping on it. The winner of the dance contest is Iroha. Yachiyo reveals there were actually six pieces of cake—enough for everyone plus one extra for the winner. Iroha gives her extra piece to Lil&#039; Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Iroha and Yachiyo clean up. Yachiyo shares her grandmother&#039;s words: people will always come and go, but they are all part of Mikazuki Villa. Iroha promises to work hard so Yachiyo can say the current Mikazuki Villa is the best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Summer with Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* After arriving at the hostel, the Mikazuki Villa members meet Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, who secretly followed because Rena wanted to join the trip. The group spends the day playing at the beach, where Tsuruno and Felicia dominate a game of beach flags, and Sana tearfully confides in Iroha that this is her first holiday ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer With Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the group participates in a spicy food eating contest at a seaside restaurant, where Yachiyo surprises everyone by consuming nearly one hundred forty-two bowls of pasta to secure victory for her team against Konoha, Nanaka, and the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, Sana&#039;s late-night sighting of a shadowy figure screaming &amp;quot;Come on go&amp;quot; sparks a beach-wide rumor that eventually draws in Kokoro, Masara, Aimi, Mito, and Reira, only for the mystery to be solved when Seika introduces her Manzai teacher Ayaka, whose gag playing on the phrase&#039;s rhythm reveals the source of the confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fourth day, the Mikazuki Villa girls and Momoko&#039;s trio attempt to teach Iroha how to swim without her float, but their efforts fail repeatedly. Iroha eventually explains that she used to be a swimmer until a traumatic incident: during a rare hospital holiday for her sister Ui, the family visited a pool, and Iroha mistook Ui happily paddling for drowning. In her rush to help, Iroha tripped and nearly drowned herself, leaving her with lasting anxiety about it. Suddenly, Rena begins drowning and cries for help via telepathy. The team rushes to save her, and surprisingly Iroha proves fastest, reaching Rena first and giving her the float while swimming them both to shore. On the way, Rena explains her leg was caught in seaweed, not cramped as she thought. Once Iroha realizes Rena is safe, her sisterly instincts fade and she begins drowning herself, having temporarily overcome her fear only through concern for another. Yachiyo reassures Iroha that the rescue proves she can still swim and encourages her to practice diligently. Iroha looks forward to regaining her ability fully, hoping that by then she and Ui can visit the pool together again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Swimrohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fifth day, Tsuruno leads the team on a surprise treasure hunt, guiding them through a forest with help from Konomi and Mayu to confront the &amp;quot;evil queen&amp;quot; Mitama, who surrenders a map piece that leads them to a cave with a beautiful stream, which was nature&#039;s treasure all along.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the sixth day, the team attends an unorthodox summer festival produced by Emiri, where they meet Rika, repeatedly mispronounce festival icon Ria&#039;s name, and watch Felicia win a mushroom whacking contest before everyone joins in Bon Odori dancing under fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning, the group visits the beach one last time and asks Manaka to take a group photo, with Iroha treasuring these memories with her friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia surprise Iroha with a birthday party, having learned the date from her parents. They give her heartfelt gifts - a cookbook, a photo album, a drawing inspired by the &amp;quot;come on go&amp;quot; search, and a handmade brooch - and Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive with a bouquet and food, moving Iroha to tears of joy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====One Fleeting Summer Night====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane arrive at Touka&#039;s private beach for vacation. After enjoying various activities, Touka offers them a reward if they can think of something fun for her to do. Learning from the housekeeper about a town festival featuring a unique ceremony, the group heads there but finds it canceled because a historic Coral Necklace went missing. The twins offer to help search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - One Fleeting Summer Night]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Investigating the hilltop shrine where the necklace was kept, Nemu concludes someone with a key took it, likely to cancel the festival since the other ceremonial item remains safe. At the ocean shrine cave, the twins sense an unsettling presence and receive a vision of crying twin girls before the shrine door mysteriously opens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the plaza, Tsukasa finds a fragment of a shrine maiden&#039;s hairpin. The elder accuses one of the maidens of stealing the necklace. When confronted, the maiden flees to the hilltop shrine and smashes the necklace rather than return it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the group returns to the cave to see light-reflecting moss. The twins experience another vision of twin girls speaking of not wanting to be left to die. They resolve to investigate further the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The twins visit the village elder and offer to serve as substitute shrine maidens. He reluctantly agrees, and an older villager gives them ornate hair ornaments traditionally given to newborn girls. Nemu reveals the town once sacrificed children to appease a sea god, and those children became the gods honored in the ceremony.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the twins try to explain their visions, the others are skeptical. Before they can prove anything, the elder rushes them to begin the ceremony early. At the hilltop shrine, villagers restrain them and remove their Soul Gem rings. The Magius fight through but cannot reach the twins in time as the elder pushes them off a cliff into the ocean.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sinking and weakening, the twins receive a final vision from the sacrificed twin girls, who speak of wanting their suffering to be seen and their fates changed. The Amanes awaken on the beach to learn a Witch appeared when they fell. After its defeat, all villagers lost consciousness. The Pearl Comb was shattered, making the ceremony impossible to complete.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The exhausted twins relax on the beach, having not slept. Tsukasa wonders if the gifted hair clip saved them. Though saddened that no one will remember the sacrificed girls, the twins resolve to change the fates of all Magical Girls. The elder and shrine maiden apologize, and Touka promises to take them to another of her family&#039;s vacation homes as a reward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One evening, Alina fuses with the Rumor of the Fur God despite Mifuyu&#039;s warnings, becoming Holy Alina to drain life force for her art.

** Mifuyu updates Alina on the twins&#039; miraculous reunion. Examining a black card, Alina notices a happy face stamp emanating magic. At Fenthope, she deduces another Rumor is interfering: the Rumor of the Happy Stamp, which appears at Christmastime and overrides the Fur God&#039;s power, causing joy instead. Alina decides to stop using the Fur God Rumor, as it only wastes her energy, and transforms back to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When nothing special occurs and Yachiyo realizes she forgot her wallet, Iroha finds a 500 yen coin in her pocket, which is just enough to buy beans for the red-bean soup they wanted. They return home to make and enjoy the soup together, and Yachiyo reflects that while big luck is rare, small bits of luck can be found each day and should be appreciated throughout the year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;luckyny&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - New Year Lucky Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The group agrees, and Yachiyo announces the theme: this year&#039;s resolution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka finishes first, having written &amp;quot;Get to know everyone better,&amp;quot; explaining that she wants to be someone who can truly understand and support the people she meets. Iroha is inspired by her words and writes &amp;quot;Don&#039;t be afraid to ask for help,&amp;quot; realizing she doesn&#039;t have to shoulder everything alone. Yachiyo presents her resolution, &amp;quot;Wishing for good health and safety at home,&amp;quot; admitting it may be cliché but sincerely believing in the fortune of staying healthy and avoiding disaster. Mitama first jokes with &amp;quot;Prosperous business&amp;quot; before revealing her true wish, &amp;quot;Everyone getting along well,&amp;quot; which Yachiyo acknowledges is not an easy hope to fulfill.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Sayaka panics upon realizing everyone else has finished, struggling to find a resolution that isn&#039;t solely about being a magical girl. Her thoughts drift to Kyosuke against her will, and Mitama teases her about writing something love-related. Flustered, Sayaka denies having feelings for anyone, though internally she admits she wants to do her best in love too. Unable to confess that truth, she hastily writes &amp;quot;Do my best,&amp;quot; declaring she will work hard in all sorts of ways this year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With everyone finished, they tidy up and Felicia eagerly anticipates the sukiyaki. Mitama laments that she, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno won&#039;t be able to submit theirs since it&#039;s not homework for them, calling it a waste. Yachiyo suggests displaying them at home for the New Year, and Tsuruno proposes putting up everyone&#039;s resolutions. When Yachiyo worries about the inconvenience for Madoka&#039;s group to retrieve them later, they assure her they plan to visit Kamihama again anyway. They hang all the calligraphy together, each resolution on display, and everyone wishes each other a good year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano====&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before a science event, a White Feather from the Wings of Magius informs Mitama Yakumo that a higher-up will be visiting and she should complete any necessary business when they arrive. Mitama says she will be prepared.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Hinano explains her mishap to her audience, and her assistant Emiri Kisaki steals the punchline by emphasizing the importance of perfect preparation. Afterward, Emiri learns Hinano was attempting to create a height-increasing drug—the same goal that led to a near-fatal accident five years ago and her contract with Kyubey. Emiri makes Hinano promise to stop dangerous experiments, but Hinano immediately breaks this promise and sneaks back to continue her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Emiri rushes an unconscious Hinano to Mitama&#039;s place. Hinano had drunk her experimental drug and collapsed from violent stomach pains. After purification, Hinano explains her dream: as a child, she admired a long-legged older girl who hosted science events, and she wanted to become that kind of dashing figure. Emiri reveals her own wish was a spur-of-the-moment desire to be the cutest little devil possible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano&#039;s unresolved feelings cause her Soul Gem to corrupt, and she is suddenly pulled into a barrier. A shadowy version of herself appears, claiming to be the pure crystallization of her aspirations. It transforms into her Doppel—a poison monster wearing an attractive lab coat with long legs. Hinano hears Emiri&#039;s telepathic voice shouting that she does not want to part with her, giving her strength. She realizes that while she failed to become a mature figure, her approachable appearance helped her meet Emiri and make friends. The shadow asks if she will give up her research, and Hinano declares she will continue with a completely safe version. The barrier vanishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Hinano and Emiri leave, Alina Gray appears and confirms she created the barrier to contain Hinano&#039;s Doppel and protect Mitama. Mitama offers adjustment as thanks, asking Alina to continue favoring her business.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!====&lt;br /&gt;
* As Yachiyo makes lunch, Felicia barges in with a flyer announcing that Mitama is trying her hand at professional photography and offering free photos for one day only. The others are surprised, having heard nothing about this, but they agree to go and take a team photo since they have nothing else planned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s makeshift studio, she admits they are her only customers and shows off a new camera she bought because the advertisement claimed it would make anyone a pro photographer. When she starts taking photos, however, every attempt fails spectacularly, producing bizarre images like Madoka with people jumping from a plane and Homura posing with a lion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Frustrated, Mitama declares she will quit being an adjuster to devote herself to photography, but the girls protest that everyone in Kamihama would be in trouble without her. They reassure her that they trust her, and Tsuruno adds that she would not have become the strongest without Mitama&#039;s help. Mitama relents and agrees to remain an adjuster, though she will continue practicing photography in her free time. Later, a successful group photo of both Iroha and Madoka&#039;s teams is shown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama====&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama Yakumo invites a surprising number of magical girls to her place for an event she calls the &amp;quot;Great Mitama Thanksgiving.&amp;quot; When she finally arrives, she reveals that the gathering is actually a quiz tournament about herself, with the winner receiving a free adjustment session and the title of &amp;quot;Mitama&#039;s Perfect Lover.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz begins with multiple choice questions, and wrong answers trigger a trap door beneath the contestant, though cushions soften the fall. The first question asks Mitama&#039;s actual age, and Tsuruno guesses incorrectly, landing her in the trap. The second question asks whether Mitama&#039;s cooking is delicious, and when Felicia and Manaka both guess wrong, Mitama confirms that the correct answer is that her food is indeed delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz continues through several rounds, eliminating more contestants along the way. When the ninth question asks about Mitama&#039;s favorite movie, Ria guesses incorrectly and is eliminated for insulting the film&#039;s actress. Sana is also eliminated when Mitama takes pity on her after she panics over Iroha&#039;s safety, and Mitama confirms that &amp;quot;Pacifistic Hayashi&amp;quot; was the correct answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama admits she has run out of questions but still has many competitors remaining, so she decides to draw lots to pick a winner instead. Momoko asks why Mitama held the event in the first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama remembers a time where she tried using her magic to defeat a familiar on her own, and that even if her services are no longer needed, she can still protect herself. She has obtained the magic to keep living that she never had before, and if she ever had to abandon her neutrality, she could use it to help someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Mitama explains that she held the event because something good happened to her. The other girls sense a Witch and leave to hunt it, and Mitama tells them to draw their lots later. Alone, she wonders who she should use her power on when she eventually decides to stop being neutral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** That night, Ria dreams. On the day of the fashion show, she runs into a Witch. Kyoko Sakura appears in the barrier. Mistaking Kyoko for a fan, Ria tries to show off, but Kyoko tells her to stay out of the way. They fight. Ria leaves the barrier and finds she has missed the show completely. Horrified, she wakes up. It was only a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, she and Asuka Tatsuki arrive to cheer. Asuka reveals she has been practicing for this day. During the event, Asuka cheers for Ria like it is a sports event. Ria knows she means no harm but feels embarrassed, as if Asuka is ruining the event. She wakes up again. Another dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, just as she is about to go on stage, the power cuts out. Though it quickly returns, the audience&#039;s enthusiasm has diminished. Ria blames herself for being unable to overcome the outage. She wakes up, realizing she has been dreaming about the show every single night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual day of the show, Ria pinches her cheek to make sure it is real. She stumbles into a Witch barrier, and Kyoko appears just as in her dreams. This time, Ria tells Kyoko she can take the credit for killing the Witch. Ria leaves and meets Asuka and Mayu. When she learns Asuka has practiced cheering, Ria explains that fashion shows have their own etiquette and promises to send her details later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just before Ria&#039;s turn on stage, the power cuts out for real. Ria decides to make it part of the show. She asks the audience to get out their penlights and turn them all on her when she gives the signal. Her improvisation is a complete success, though she wishes she could have shown her perfect walk. She thinks she is feeling the best feeling in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls are surprised to learn that Felicia scored fifty-two points on a test, and she asks for a reward. Yachiyo deems her request to go to MooMoo Park too expensive and instead promises a fancy dinner the next day, which satisfies Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha discovers that Tsuruno left her phone in the refrigerator and offers to return it while Yachiyo goes to a photo shoot. During breakfast, a commercial for MooMoo Park airs on television.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After breakfast, Felicia shows Sana the park commercial on her phone and admits she still wants to go, so she drags Sana along to catch animals at a riverbank. Meanwhile, Iroha returns Tsuruno&#039;s phone and helps out at her family&#039;s restaurant. At the riverbank, Felicia finds a small turtle, but Ayame Mikuri appears and accuses her of harassment. The two magical girls fight, and Felicia releases the turtle to protect it before running off, leaving Sana behind. Yachiyo finds Sana on her way home and learns what happened, then invites her to lunch. Felicia returns to the house, still angry at Ayame, and takes a nap after lunch. She dreams that the turtle thanks her and promises something at the riverbank, so she wakes and goes out to find it. She returns with a ticket for two to MooMoo Park. The others reveal that Iroha also received a ticket from Tsuruno&#039;s father, and Yachiyo got one at a meat store, so everyone can now go together. The girls happily resolve to visit the park and enjoy their dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of====&lt;br /&gt;
* An old lady asks Kanagi Izumi for a deli recommendation, and Kanagi suggests the potato soup and meat skewers, knowing the customer&#039;s daughter loves them. When the lady asks if this is truly Kanagi&#039;s last day, Kanagi confirms it and expresses regret at not seeing her again. At the end of her shift, Kanagi thanks her boss and coworkers, who are sad to see her go, but she needs higher pay to support her family and the grocery store cannot match her new job&#039;s wages.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives home later than usual due to a going-away party, and her father apologizes for not working enough to provide, though Kanagi is happy to help. He worries about her new job being radically different from her previous work, but Kanagi believes it is worth it since the pay means she can quit her second job and have more free time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi starts her new job at a maid café and impresses her coworker by already having a parfait ready. Despite learning the kitchen pace quickly, the hall is understaffed, and when the manager offers to help, Kanagi replies &amp;quot;Yes, sir!&amp;quot; only to be corrected that the manager prefers to be called &amp;quot;madam.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the rush, the head maid wishes for another maid, and the manager asks Kanagi to try working the floor for a raise. Kanagi&#039;s eyes widen at the salary and she accepts, receiving the maid nickname &amp;quot;Maid Nagitan.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid reviews basics with Kanagi, who feels confident due to her customer service background and sees this as a life-or-death matter to earn more for her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika Kumi, Reira Ibuki, and Mito Aino enter, and Kanagi greets them with a serious look and curt &amp;quot;welcome,&amp;quot; leaving them surprised by her cold, soldier-like demeanor. When Mito asks if she is really a maid, Kanagi introduces herself as Maid Nagitan and shakes Mito&#039;s hand firmly, causing Seika to freeze up. Later, when Reira asks if she will do &amp;quot;the thing&amp;quot; of adding love to the food, Kanagi misinterprets and says she cannot profess love to strangers, leaving the girls let down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At another table, a customer also wants &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; but Kanagi declines, saying she is no liar. The head maid intervenes and reminds Kanagi this is a maid café, explaining their job is creating a fun atmosphere. Kanagi returns to the trio&#039;s table and notices Seika staring, misinterpreting it as a staring contest. They stare at each other until Seika faints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid calls Kanagi completely hopeless and explains a maid&#039;s worth comes from tending to others, telling her to return to the kitchen if she cannot take the work seriously. The manager offers a one-week trial period: if Kanagi improves by week&#039;s end, she stays a maid. Kanagi vows to work with every fiber of her being.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Karin Misono finishes reading &amp;quot;Detective Maid Mei&amp;quot; and notices Kanagi slumped on a swing, muttering about what makes a good maid. Karin recognizes her as the boss of the East and, seeing an opportunity for her manga, asks Kanagi to tell her everything. Karin lends her the Detective Maid Mei manga for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Kanagi reads the manga and notes how the maid greets masters warmly, respects their decisions, and lets the master grow when needed. At the end, the maid strikes a pose. Kanagi meets Karin at the park to return the manga and heads to work with Karin tagging along for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the café, two boys enter and Kanagi greets them warmly as masters, surprising them with her &amp;quot;cool but kind&amp;quot; demeanor. The head maid smiles at her improvement. Kanagi serves Karin a Lovely Rice Omelet, and when Karin suggests she draw on it with ketchup, Kanagi tries to draw a kirin but it looks like a weird animal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Two more customers arrive, Aimi Eri and Natsuki Utsuho. Kanagi serves them and offers to draw on their omelets, writing Aimi&#039;s crush&#039;s name with hearts on her plate. As she leaves, Karin motions for her, and Kanagi does the manga pose, telling them to let her take care of any problems. At day&#039;s end, the head maid notes Kanagi&#039;s huge improvement but says it is too early to celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The final test begins, and the manager outlines that Kanagi must please the next returning customer, ensuring the master leaves with a smile. The door jingles as Konomi Haruna enters, distressed to find herself in a maid café. Kanagi greets her warmly and shows her to a seat despite the manager&#039;s concern.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi orders the Maid&#039;s Special Herbal Blend after Kanagi&#039;s recommendation, but when Kanagi offers to play a game then arm wrestle, Konomi panics, drinks quickly, pays, and leaves. The manager agrees that Kanagi should return to the kitchen as promised. Kanagi walks home alone, bothered by something beyond the wage cut.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi is back in the kitchen, and the kitchen staff is delighted. At day&#039;s end, the head maid tells her the staff appreciated her return, and Kanagi wonders why no one said they were glad when she worked as a maid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager notices her expression and encourages her to think until she is satisfied with the answer. Kanagi decides to find Konomi and ask what she lacked, recalling her school uniform.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi enters Konomi&#039;s flower shop, and Konomi is shocked. Kanagi asks what she lacked as a maid, but Konomi apologizes for assuming Kanagi was scary due to East-West history. She explains she entered by mistake, but Kanagi was considerate, made a helpful suggestion, and offered to ease her anxiety. It felt like Kanagi was doing it just for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi realizes that is what she was lacking: taking into account what the other person wants and responding to it. At the park, Kanagi reflects that customers come to enjoy the atmosphere and it is her job to consider whether it is worthwhile for them. She berates herself for making masters uncomfortable. Karin finds her and insists she should keep being a maid, offering to talk to the manager. Kanagi smiles and asks for a different favor instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi approaches the manager for a second chance, proposing she serve the same three customers who left when Seika fainted. The manager agrees to let her try. Karin finds Reira and Seika at a park and extends an invitation for them to return so Nagitan can make it up to them. Reira agrees, and Karin hands them invitations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio enters the café with Seika frozen, and Kanagi greets them warmly and shows them to their table. Kanagi serves their omelets, and when Mito asks if they were made with love, Kanagi admits she could not be dishonest but offers to draw with ketchup instead. She gives Mito the bottle to draw while Kanagi draws on Mito&#039;s plate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They play rock-paper-scissors, and Reira explains Seika is very shy and fainted because she had to make eye contact with someone new. Seika&#039;s class is doing a maid café for the school festival and she wanted to do her best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika admits she thought Kanagi was so confident she lost her own confidence. Kanagi points to the head maid as the ideal and explains she herself could never be like that, so she tries her best in her own way, encouraging Seika to find her own style. Seika smiles and asks for a picture. Kanagi agrees if her face is hidden, and before they leave, she does her signature pose and tells Seika to remember it when nervous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager calls Kanagi over and offers her the maid position, noting she learned something important. Kanagi says she wants to keep being a maid, not just for the paycheck, but to use what she learned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day at the café, Kanagi serves drinks and poses for pictures with a face mask, her fans cheering. Karin calls for her to do &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; and the café erupts yelling &amp;quot;Nagitan!&amp;quot; Karin and Kanagi walk home, and when Kanagi asks about her manga, Karin realizes she never drew it. Kanagi offers to help, but when Karin asks if she will do the pose, Kanagi reminds her she is off the clock. Karin looks down sadly as Kanagi returns to being serious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia====&lt;br /&gt;
* During the day, Felicia eats Tsuruno&#039;s ice candy without realizing it was hers because she cannot read kanji. Tsuruno reprimands Yachiyo when she learns Yachiyo knew and was preparing to buy a replacement. Yachiyo states it is impossible to guard the fridge constantly. Felicia, overwhelmed with guilt and anger that no one listens to her confession, loses control and flips the kitchen table before locking herself in her room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Felicia has a nightmare. She dreams her falling grades caused a huge argument between her parents, who blamed each other for neglecting her. Both ignore her confession and promise to try harder. Her mother storms back to the kitchen to cook. Felicia recalls that a Witch attacked immediately after, killing her parents, and she wakes up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She goes to the kitchen for water, but Iroha is there and points out she looks pale. Iroha tells her to rest and offers to bring water to her room. Felicia loses her temper and storms out of the house. Iroha wakes the others to find her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Felicia hears a voice claiming to be her. The voice pulls her into a barrier, where another Felicia lures her toward a locked box, revealing itself as her Doppel. Felicia nearly opens the box but remembers Yachiyo&#039;s words about some things being best left unknown. Her instincts tell her she is not ready.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She promises her Doppel she will return when she is stronger and hopes it can hold the truth for her. The Doppel accepts and returns to normal. Felicia wakes up at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo inform her they found her unconscious in the park. Felicia tells them about the encounter and her desire to become strong enough to fulfill her promise. Mitama offers a free power-up session to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha recalls they found Felicia releasing her Doppel in the park before losing consciousness. Yachiyo notes this has never happened before. She remembers that Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane once said Doppels are materialized emotions. Yachiyo concludes Felicia carries a heavy burden and tells Iroha to keep this secret until Felicia either realizes it herself or becomes strong enough to handle the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Monogatari Series Collab====&lt;br /&gt;
During this time, a Witch causes several girls from another universe to be brought into this universe, turning them into special &#039;what if&#039; forms as Magical Girls, changing their memories as well. &lt;br /&gt;
: Shinobu Oshino, originally a legendary vampire in her world, she became the &amp;quot;Immortal Magical Girl&amp;quot; by wishing &amp;quot;I wish to die.&amp;quot; However, as a result, the prey she hunts become nourishment for her and her life span extends instead.&lt;br /&gt;
: Mayoi Hachikuji became a &amp;quot;labyrinth Magical Girl&amp;quot; with the wish “I wish to return home”. With her excellent defense, she could cause the enemy’s attack to avoid her, as if it had lost its way, but for some reason, she could never reach my mother’s house. My wish was &lt;br /&gt;
: Yotsugi Ononoki became a &amp;quot;doll Magical Girl,&amp;quot; with the belief her sole mission in life is to defeat Witches. She fought to protect the world and the people dear to her from ruin.&lt;br /&gt;
: Hitagi Senjougahara became a &amp;quot;gravitational Magical Girl,&amp;quot; who seized the weight of the object attacked by her hammer. The more she seized, the more massive her hammer grew, and was strengthened. Her wish was “Please give me memories.”&lt;br /&gt;
: Suruga Kanbaru became a &amp;quot;pioneer Magical Girl,&amp;quot; where she was fused with her motorbike after her transformation. Although she was the star who led Naoetsu High School&#039;s basketball club to the national tournament, she frequently made dangerous actions and comments. Her wish was &amp;quot;I want to be faster than anyone.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
: Nadeko Sengoku became the &amp;quot;prostrating Magical Girl,&amp;quot; who fought with landmines while creeping because of her extremely timid personality, yet often carelessly stepped on them herself. Her wish was &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want anyone to see me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
: Tsubasa Hanekawa became &amp;quot;the memorial Magical Girl,&amp;quot; who lost her memories when she burnt something with a flame bottle, but her top-notch brain in her grade would constantly store new memories. Her wish was &amp;quot;I want to forget everything,&amp;quot; and her attacks burn through her memories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shinobu Oshino, Mayoi Hachikuji and Yotsugi Ononoki hunt a Witch together. Shinobu begins her dramatic introduction and finishing move, but Yotsugi defeats the Witch with a simple &amp;quot;Hyah&amp;quot; and Mayoi lands the final blow with &amp;quot;Yah.&amp;quot; Shinobu is annoyed at their failure to call out special moves. Shinobu argues that calling out attacks is the essence of being a Magical Girl, but Yotsugi dismisses this as an outdated trope. Shinobu retorts that refusing to act the part is dumb, and Yotsugi reluctantly agrees. Shinobu declares they need training to act more befitting of Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Shinobu&#039;s Heartphial Story: Shinobu Spells]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shinobu demonstrates by striking a pose and delivering her lines with perfect timing. When Yotsugi tries, her performance is terrible. Shinobu forces her to try again, and Yotsugi reluctantly says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; but finds it unpleasant and refuses to repeat it. Mayoi asks Shinobu to help her come up with lines. After a few stumbles, she declares, &amp;quot;I, Mayoi Hachikuji, hereby condemn those Witches who seek to ravage this earth!&amp;quot; Shinobu finds it charming, and Mayoi admits leaning into the Magical Girl thing is fun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They enter a real Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Mayoi messes up her line again but turns it into an improvised bit while evading attacks. Yotsugi delivers a longer speech and says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; landing the attack. Shinobu finishes the Witch with her full finishing move. After the battle, morning comes. Shinobu declares the training will continue, but Yotsugi walks away. Mayoi distracts Shinobu by suggesting breakfast, and Shinobu wants donuts. Yachiyo, out for an early walk, overhears them and decides she wants donuts too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa and helps Yachiyo prepare breakfast. Sana joins them, but when she goes to wake Felicia, she finds Felicia’s room empty and her shoes gone; Felicia’s phone is also out of service. Worried, Yachiyo calls Tsuruno for help, and the group splits up to search the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part I: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the search, Iroha’s Soul Gem reacts to a nearby Witch. Inside the labyrinth, they encounter two unfamiliar magical girls who are already fighting the Witch: Mayoi Hachikuji and Shinobu Oshino. After the Witch is defeated, introductions are exchanged. Mayoi and Shinobu explain they are traveling and looking for a lost friend named Yotsugi Ononoki, who has bluish‑green pigtails, a peculiar hat with eyes, and a frilly dress. The two groups exchange phone numbers to help each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Felicia has in fact met Yotsugi. Yotsugi buys her ice cream, and Felicia learns Yotsugi is also traveling. Felicia offers to show Yotsugi around town as thanks, taking her to the shopping street, a spot with cats, and a bench good for naps. Yotsugi finds everything unfamiliar and feels something is off, as if she has buttoned her shirt wrong. She shortens Felicia’s name to “Felly,” which makes Felicia happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha’s group eventually spots Felicia with Yotsugi. When Yachiyo hugs Felicia in relief, Felicia reacts as if she does not know any of them. She remembers Yachiyo only as a famous magical girl, but has no memory of living at Mikazuki Villa. The group realizes Felicia has lost her memories. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive and reunite with Yotsugi. Felicia refuses to go with Iroha’s group, accusing them of being kidnappers. Yotsugi offers a third option: Felicia can join their traveling team. Mayoi warns Felicia that if she chooses to leave with them, she will never return to the home that might be waiting for her. Felicia becomes confused and cries. Iroha proposes they all have dinner together at Mikazuki Villa first, so Felicia can calm down and decide later and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, Felicia asks Yotsugi what she likes to eat. Yotsugi admits a preference for expensive cup ice cream. Felicia awkwardly asks if Yotsugi&#039;s face is always stuck like that, and Yotsugi confirms it is. After arriving, Felicia eagerly tries to get Yotsugi to play video games, serves her extra portions of food, and challenges her to a pillow fight. Yotsugi excuses herself to take a bath, leaving Felicia disappointed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yotsugi Ononoki#Side Story|Yotsugi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Yotsugi Sister]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Felicia apologizes for being clingy, explaining that Yachiyo and the others pulled her aside to warn her. Felicia confesses she had been trying to make Yotsugi smile, assuming she had lost her parents like Felicia did. Yotsugi clarifies that her emotions simply do not show on her face, but she does feel them. She admits playing the game was fun and the food was not bad. Felicia is overjoyed and runs off to brag to everyone. Shinobu and Mayoi, who had been eavesdropping, tease Yotsugi for finding Felicia cute. Yotsugi concedes that Felicia is exhausting, but seeing her face light up from a drop of attention is not unpleasant. She gains newfound respect for all older sisters in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the villa, Shinobu requests doughnuts for dessert, and the group plays games. Yotsugi helps in the kitchen and notices the chicken meat has a nice springy firmness. During dinner, the group shares memories of how they met Felicia. Felicia still does not remember, but Shinobu points out the stories are too detailed to be lies. Tsuruno suddenly does not remember buying coasters, revealing she may also have amnesia. Yotsugi then shifts the discussion: she reminds Shinobu that she walked in sunlight all day without harm, which should be impossible because Shinobu is actually a vampire. Shinobu’s memories return, and she declares herself the iron‑blooded, hot‑blooded, cold‑blooded vampire king of oddities. Mayoi also gets a headache and remembers she is not human either, and instead she is a snail oddity, a ghost. Yotsugi explains that she has felt uneasy calling herself a magical girl; she suspects this world is not the one she came from, as everything feels slightly different, like two paintings of the same image in different styles. She believes Shinobu, Mayoi, and herself came from another world. They conclude that a Witch may be behind the memory loss and false memories, and decide to hunt Witches the next day. Everyone stays the night at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mayoi plays Old Maid with Tsuruno, Felicia, Yotsugi, and Shinobu. Mayoi wins, but Yotsugi and Shinobu notice she seemed absent-minded. Mayoi asks Yachiyo if she can help with dinner, admitting she always wished she could cook with her mom. Yachiyo agrees and Mayoi joins Iroha and Sana in making dumplings, proving to be a natural. Yotsugi and Shinobu try but fail miserably. Mayoi boasts and declares herself the rightful leader of the little girls, sparking a three-way argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Mayoi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Mayoi Home]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno suggests playing a game to decide the leader, and Felicia wants to join. Shinobu insists Iroha must also participate. They play a life simulation board game. Mayoi starts strong but ends up broke and stranded in the Amazon. Iroha wins, and Mayoi declares her the official leader of the little girls, much to Iroha&#039;s confusion. Mayoi feels this has been the most fun she has had in a while, yet she cannot shake an uneasy feeling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After everyone decides to stay over, Yachiyo announces bath time. Mayoi suddenly bolts out of the house, claiming she will take a walk. Iroha chases after her and finds her safe. Mayoi apologizes and explains that the family moment overwhelmed her heart, so she left to do something familiar to settle herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi revisits her wish: after her parents&#039; divorce, she wished to go home. Being at Mikazuki Villa makes her feel like her wish has finally come true, yet she senses it is not the home she truly wants to return to. She remembers she is a ghost and wonders where exactly it is she wants to go back to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After they lay out futons in the living room, Shinobu reveals she is actually over 500 years old, and Mayoi was in fifth grade when she died, now mentally 21. Yotsugi still does not remember what she is. Felicia cannot sleep and goes outside. She sees a Witch appear suddenly, feels her head go foggy, and collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha again helps with breakfast. She feels a strange déjà vu, as if the same conversation has happened before. Sana again reports Felicia is missing. The group searches the town and again encounters Mayoi and Shinobu fighting a Witch. The same exchanges occur, but Iroha’s déjà vu grows stronger.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When they finally find Felicia, she is with Yotsugi and is annoyed that they took so long to show up. Yotsugi addresses Iroha by name without being introduced. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive. Iroha blurts out that everything feels like it has happened before. Yotsugi then explains: this is the second time they have met like this. Everyone suddenly remembers the previous day’s events of the dinner, the revelations about vampires and ghosts, and the time reset. Yotsugi says she felt the air warp after falling asleep, and when she woke up, she was back where she had been before meeting Felicia. Felicia recalls that before the reset, she saw a Witch outside Mikazuki Villa that made her dizzy and erased her memories. The group deduces that Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they discuss how to fight the Witch, Felicia’s stomach growls. They decide to return to the villa for dinner again, saving the battle for the next day. On the way, they stop at a supermarket for a snack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While walking home, a Witch suddenly appears and pulls Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi into a labyrinth. Felicia recognizes it as the same Witch from the reset. The Witch ignores both Iroha and Felicia, focusing all its attacks on Yotsugi. It dodges Felicia’s hammer and lands a clean hit, cutting Yotsugi’s body into pieces. Iroha and Felicia are horrified. As the Witch prepares to strike again, Yotsugi’s voice tells them to keep pretending to be sad. She instructs them to retreat and gather the pieces of her body. They do so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside the labyrinth, Yotsugi puts herself back together as if nothing happened. She reveals that when she took the hit, she regained her true memories. Back at Mikazuki Villa, she explains to everyone: she is a hundred‑year‑old tsukumogami made from a human body, both a doll oddity and a corpse oddity. She has no heart and has always been dead. This is why the Witch’s power of suggestion, which works by influencing emotions, does not affect her as much. She also notes that the Witch let them escape because it was angry at Yotsugi for helping everyone remember the first loop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yotsugi attacks Shinobu. Shinobu blocks the strike. When asked why, Yotsugi coldly says, “Would you mind dying for me real quick?”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt; Yotsugi’s sudden attack on Shinobu was not betrayal but a calculated shock: she remembered that when the Witch cut her into pieces, the trauma restored her own original memories. She reasons that a sufficiently strong physical blow can break through the memory manipulation. Shinobu’s severed leg instantly regenerates as her vampiric powers return, proving the method works. Without warning, Yotsugi then punches Mayoi, knocking her unconscious. When Mayoi wakes, her memories also return, which is triggered by the keyword “lost.” Mayoi explains that their false magical girl powers and wishes were implanted by the Witch, and that they are not inhabitants of this world. She then proposes a new theory: the Kamihama girls did not lose their memories; rather, they come from different points in their own timeline and simply haven’t experienced the shared past yet. Felicia is devastated, fearing she will never have a family again, but Iroha and the others reassure her that in every timeline they will end up together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part II: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, after everyone has gone to sleep, Shinobu summons Yotsugi and Mayoi outside. She admits she does not fully trust Iroha’s group, as they could be the Witch’s minions or mere plot devices. She reveals there may be another way to return to their original world, but she does not elaborate immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group splits up to hunt the elusive Witch. They repeatedly enter labyrinths of other Witches, wasting time. Felicia grows increasingly frustrated, nearly charging into unrelated fights. Yachiyo observes that the Witch seems to want them to fight, so any peaceful, fun activity risks a reset, which is why the first reset happened after their happy dinner and games. She concludes that the Witch is like a director forcing them to act out a “magical girls fighting” plot. Iroha suggests they deliberately provoke the Witch by acting against that plot, hoping to lure it out. However, Yotsugi warns that straying too far might trigger another reset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo formally presents her three‑point theory: (1) The Witch did not pursue them when they fled, (2) it never removed their magical girl powers, and (3) the resets happen when they relax instead of fight. Everyone agrees the plan is to provoke the Witch into appearing. Shinobu then insists on going sightseeing the next day, arguing that one more reset will weaken the Witch’s power further. Despite concerns about resetting again, Tsuruno enthusiastically supports the idea, and the group reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group spends the morning and afternoon touring Kamihama: the radio tower, the school (which they sneak into), an arcade where Yotsugi plays rhythm games with a completely blank expression, and the shopping mall where Shinobu demands to find a donut shop. Tsuruno saves the family restaurant, Banbanzai, for last. As they approach, Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi sense the Witch charging straight at them. The familiar dizziness overcomes everyone, and the world resets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Several hours after the reset, Yotsugi again restores everyone’s memories, as her immunity to the Witch’s suggestion means she still remembers everything. The group notes that more people felt déjà vu this time, suggesting the Witch is weakening. That night, Shinobu privately tells Yotsugi and Mayoi her true alternative plan: she will kill the Kamihama magical girls and consume their power, believing that enough strength will allow her to tear open a gate back to their world. Yotsugi and Mayoi agree to help, though Mayoi is conflicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the town feels eerily deserted. The Witch’s labyrinth is sparse, with only familiars. Following Shinobu’s earlier secret instruction, the group begins shouting insults at the Witch to provoke it. Suddenly, Shinobu strikes Felicia from behind, seemingly killing her. Yachiyo and Tsuruno are horrified. Shinobu, Yotsugi, and Mayoi reveal their betrayal: they intend to slaughter everyone to gain power for a gate home. A brutal fight erupts. Mayoi uses her ability to redirect Yachiyo’s spear attack, causing it to hit Iroha and Sana, who also fall. Tsuruno is overwhelmed, and Yachiyo is mortally wounded. Shinobu stands alone, gloating, but then the “dead” girls suddenly rise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** It was all an act. The group had secretly planned this staged betrayal during the previous night, communicating via handwritten notes to avoid the Witch overhearing. Sana, who makes picture books, wrote the script. The plan had multiple layers: first, they deliberately triggered a second reset by going sightseeing to weaken the Witch; second, they staged a believable in‑fighting scenario to lure the Witch out, because if all the “actors” disappear, the Witch’s story cannot continue. The Witch falls for the trap and appears, enraged by the deception. A full‑scale battle begins. The group coordinates: Iroha and Sana herd familiars for Yotsugi’s “Unlimited Rulebook”; Yachiyo, Shinobu, and Iroha immobilize the Witch; Tsuruno guides Mayoi’s errant drill attack with her flames, piercing the Witch’s front camera. When that does not destroy the labyrinth, Yachiyo and Shinobu realize the front camera was a decoy: the true weak spot is the film at the back. Felicia, launched by Yotsugi like a bullet, smashes the drill deeper, and Yachiyo and Shinobu destroy the film. The labyrinth dissolves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the world fades to mist, Felicia breaks down crying. She does not want this world to end because at Mikazuki Villa she finally felt like she had a family again, and she fears returning to her own timeline where she will be alone. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Sana hug her, promising that no matter the world or timeline, they will surely live together again. Shinobu, Mayoi, and Yotsugi share an awkward, brief hug, concluding they are not the hugging type. Everyone exchanges farewells. Yotsugi tells Felicia, “I’m glad I met you, Felly.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa, yawning. Felicia teases her for sleeping late. Iroha recalls a long, strange dream, both fun and bittersweet, but the details fade upon waking. She only remembers that it was something really special. The day begins again, as if the adventure had never happened, except for the faint warmth left behind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede dreams of a garden where Momoko and Rena help her harvest fantastical vegetables. When she asks about the cream puff tree, Momoko shows her a basket full. The peace breaks when an apartment complex finishes construction behind them, destroying the garden. Kaede remembers this moment: her father announced a new building would block their sunlight, her mother worried they would lose their garden, and in despair, Kaede wished to stop the construction entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The dream shatters and a shadowy version of Kaede appears, accusing her of always running from difficulty. It reminds her she made her wish without considering the people who would have lived in that building, that she ran from Rena rather than face rejection, that she holds back in marathons and skips hard problems. The shadow urges her to keep running until she finds where she belongs and offers its hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kaede admits everything is true: she is weak and useless. But she insists she wants to stay with Momoko and Rena, the friends who matter to her. She asks her shadow to help her become better little by little. The shadow agrees, promising to watch from the garden of her heart. Kaede wakes at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains Kaede blacked out during a Witch battle. Kaede remembers hesitating to transform, a Familiar catching her off guard, and Rena crying out. When another Familiar attacked Rena, Kaede recalled a time Momoko was hurt because of her mistake. Believing herself useless, her Soul Gem turned pitch black. Now awake and purified, she chooses not to run. She asks to join Momoko and Rena, who went ahead to hunt the Witch. Mitama sends her off, confident she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holiday Nyaprise!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede asks Mikazuki Villa to watch a lost kitten while her family is away. After Felicia threatens to withhold bedtime hot cocoa, Yachiyo relents and Sana names the cat Gorojirou, or Sir Purrs-a-little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Holiday Nyaprise!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno visits daily to play, and when Gorojirou needs the restroom, Sana rushes it to the litter box just as Yachiyo calls them for lunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia chases the cat until Sana gives her a toy to lure it instead, and they eventually nap together on the couch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou has grown close to everyone, and Iroha tries taking its picture but accidentally films herself instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha shops, Sana watches the cat and Yachiyo admits she avoided getting attached because Gorojirou is temporary, but resolves to make its stay pleasant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou chews Felicia&#039;s favorite sticker, and though Felicia is angry, Sana reminds her the cat leaves tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede returns for Gorojirou, and everyone says a tearful goodbye. As they leave, the cat meows at Sana, who cries happily saying goodbye to her new best friend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Magia Clash!====&lt;br /&gt;
* A Mirror copy of Shizuku opens a portal and steps through into a city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Magia Clash!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama organizes a magical girl team competition inside the Mirrors labyrinth. Kaede and Iroha greet Nanoha, hoping to talk with her, but Kaede is called away when her match begins. Iroha stays behind and watches with Nanoha instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanoha Takamachi#Side Story|Nanoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hayate, Nanoha, and Fate mistake a Mirror copy&#039;s portal for the warp gate to their tournament and are pulled through before Lindy can stop them. Mitama registers the confused but excited trio for the &amp;quot;First Ultimate Magical Girls Team Battle Mirrors Cup,&amp;quot; and they head to the Standby Zone after learning about the Mirror barrier. Meanwhile, Rena, Momoko, and Kaede struggle against unusually strong Familiars, and when Rena twists her ankle, the Nanoha trio steps in to save them. The groups introduce themselves, with the trio explaining they are from Uminary City while concealing their connection to the Administrative Bureau, and Rena warns them about dangerous Mirror copies that lurk deeper in the barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they observe Team Momoko&#039;s match, Nanoha comments on the fighting styles she sees and notes the variety of magic on display. She explains she was taught magic from an early age and is surprised to learn Iroha and the others gained their powers by making wishes to Kyubey. Iroha describes Kyubey as a white stuffed animal, which reminds Nanoha of her own first teacher, Yuuno. Nanoha shares that she discovered magic in third grade when she heard Yuuno calling for help, and since then she has honed her abilities alongside Fate and Hayate to protect others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks about Nanoha&#039;s device, Raising Heart, and how it can transform. Nanoha explains the device taught her magic step by step and once posed an important question to her: what is the most important thing in a fight? Iroha guesses it is the will to win, but before Nanoha can reveal the true answer, Fate and Hayate return from exploring. Fate requests a sparring match, and Iroha asks to watch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo joins Iroha to observe the fight between Nanoha and Fate. The two exchange blows at maximum speed, with Fate using close-range attacks while Nanoha fights from a distance. The match ends in a tie after a final, explosive clash. Before leaving for a break, Nanoha turns to Iroha and reveals the true answer to Raising Heart&#039;s question: wisdom and tactics. Iroha agrees, especially after witnessing their battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Natsuki is fretting over a lost wallet at the Promise Altar, and Ria offers to help her search since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway. Natsuki apologizes for the trouble, but Ria insists she doesn&#039;t mind and even offers to lend her money. Natsuki refuses the loan but admits she needs money for train fare home. She reluctantly agrees to borrow just enough for the trip and promises to pay Ria back later. Ria asks if Natsuki is sure she doesn&#039;t want to file a report, but Natsuki believes the wallet is simply lost rather than stolen and wants to keep searching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hayate Yagami#Side Story|Hayate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria suggests they retrace Natsuki&#039;s steps and asks where she&#039;s been. Natsuki lists the Promise Altar, the station, the shopping district, and an izakaya where she ate with friends. Ria questions why she went to an izakaya alone, and Natsuki clarifies she was with coworkers. Ria finds it odd that Natsuki was drinking with coworkers and then came to the shrine alone afterwards. Natsuki admits it&#039;s a long story involving a former coworker&#039;s engagement announcement that left her feeling restless. She came to the shrine to think but realized she didn&#039;t have enough money to get home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they search, they run into Masara and Kokoro. Masara bluntly tells Natsuki she probably won&#039;t find it and suggests getting a new student ID. Kokoro gently scolds her for being insensitive and offers to help search. Ria mentions they&#039;ve already looked around the shrine, so Kokoro suggests they expand the search area.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group heads to the shopping district, where they encounter Kanoko. She offers to help search as well, and they all continue looking together. Eventually, Ria asks Natsuki to retrace her exact steps from when she left the izakaya. Natsuki recalls walking to the station, realizing she didn&#039;t want to go home yet, and coming to the shrine. Ria points out that she would have needed her wallet to pay the izakaya bill, so she definitely had it after leaving. Natsuki confirms this and remembers using her train pass at the station before changing her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria concludes the wallet must be somewhere between the station turnstiles and the shrine, but they&#039;ve already searched that route thoroughly. Kanoko suggests Natsuki might have dropped it somewhere else without realizing, like when she pulled out her phone. Natsuki&#039;s eyes light up, and she admits she did take out her phone at the station to check something. She just can&#039;t remember what she did with her wallet after that. Ria proposes they split up to cover more ground, and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Natsuki returns home defeated and exhausted. Her father calls out to her, and when she enters the living room, she finds her wallet sitting on the table. Her mother found it in the shopping district and a kind stranger turned it in. Natsuki&#039;s relief quickly turns to panic when she remembers she borrowed money from Ria, and now she has no way to contact her. She considers calling Kokoro but realizes she doesn&#039;t have her number either. She decides to go back to the Promise Altar the next day to hopefully find Ria there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Natsuki returns to the Promise Altar and is relieved to spot Ria. She excitedly explains that her wallet was found and immediately tries to repay the loan. Ria accepts the money but notices Natsuki seems troubled about something else. Natsuki admits she&#039;s been thinking about her former coworker&#039;s engagement and how she handled the situation. Ria offers to listen if Natsuki wants to talk, but Natsuki says she&#039;d rather not burden her further. Ria insists it&#039;s no trouble since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki explains that her former coworker Yukari got engaged and announced it at a gathering. Natsuki congratulated her happily, but another coworker named Ootori made some passive-aggressive comments about how Yukari managed to find someone before her. Later, Ootori apologized to Natsuki for her behavior, but Natsuki feels she should have defended Yukari in the moment. She feels guilty for not speaking up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria asks why she feels responsible for defending Yukari. Natsuki admits it&#039;s because Yukari was always kind to her when she first started the job, and she feels she failed to repay that kindness. Ria points out that Natsuki did congratulate Yukari sincerely, and that was probably what mattered most to her in that moment. Natsuki realizes Ria is right and thanks her for the perspective.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just then, Kanagi arrives, and Ria prepares to leave. Before going, she offers Natsuki her contact information so she can reach out if she ever needs to talk again. Natsuki gratefully accepts, and the two part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During a break in the Mirrors tournament, Fate, Nanoha, and Hayate encounter a copy of Fate that proves too powerful for them to handle alone. Felicia, Kako, and Ayame appear to help, and together they defeat the copy. When Felicia asks what they&#039;re doing there, Fate admits they got lost. The Kamihama girls learn the trio is from out of town and younger than them, but they quickly become friends and head back to the standby zone together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Fate T. Harlaown#Side Story|Fate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group somehow gets roped into a dodgeball game, with teams forming spontaneously among the tournament participants. Fate proves to be exceptionally athletic, leading her team through multiple rounds against increasingly competitive opponents. After defeating Momoko&#039;s team, they face a martial arts team featuring Akira, Meiyui, and Asuka, which Fate also wins. Tsuruno, refusing to let age be a barrier, recruits Masara and Natsuki for a final match against Fate&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match comes down to a intense showdown between Fate and Tsuruno, both catching and returning each other&#039;s throws with increasing speed and power. Fate ultimately outmaneuvers Tsuruno by throwing to Nanoha and leaping into the air for the winning strike. Everyone celebrates the friendly tournament and the new friendships formed across different cities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the tournament progresses, Team Nanoha easily advances through early rounds with Fate&#039;s incredible speed, though Momoko notices Hayate and Nanoha have yet to reveal their full power. Elsewhere, Mitama learns that Momoko announced her team would break up if they lost not because Kaede is useless but to show their conviction, though both Kaede and Rena had doubts. The tournament continues until four teams remain, with Team Momoko advancing to the finals through clever strategy and Team Nanoha defeating Team Masara to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match begins with Fate and Rena clashing in a battle of speed that seemingly knocks both out, leaving Nanoha and Hayate to face Momoko and Kaede. Hayate fuses with Reinforce Zwei and unleashes Ragnarok to take out Kaede, then joins Nanoha against Momoko, who withstands Nanoha&#039;s Starlight Breaker as both girls stand exhausted. Before a winner can be decided, Lindy contacts Nanoha with an emergency: a fugitive illegally opened a rift between worlds, and the Mirror copy of Shizuku appears nearby, having used her powers to connect the Mirror labyrinth to Uminary City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The copy stole the tournament&#039;s grand prize, a special orb that exponentially increases magical power, and the girls call off the match to track her down. Team Nanoha and Team Momoko catch the copy, but after they defeat her, copies of Hayate, Fate, and Nanoha appear and swallow the broken orb pieces, gaining immense power. All the Magical Girls unite to take down the powered-up copies, and through combined efforts they finally delete the magical signatures. With the tunnel between worlds about to collapse, Mitama declares both teams winners, and the girls exchange heartfelt goodbyes before the Nanoha trio returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day in Kamihama, Kaede realizes her texts to Hayate no longer go through, Momoko cannot reach Nanoha or Fate, and Rena cannot find Uminary City on any map. Mitama and Shizuku conclude the girls must have come from a different world entirely, since they needed a space tunnel to travel rather than a simple train ride. Though Kaede is sad they may never meet again, Rena is grateful for the friendship they formed, and the three resolve to work hard for a future rematch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Asuka finds herself in a cloud-filled void facing a shadowy version of herself who claims to be the hidden part of Asuka&#039;s heart. The shadow declares Asuka is no longer fit to practice Ryushin-ryu because her blade has been sullied by contracting as a Magical Girl. When Asuka protests, the shadow recounts how Asuka wished for her cousin to become a police officer after his dreams were jeopardized by their uncle&#039;s arrest, arguing that twisting fate with magic was selfish and wrong. The shadow insists that with her heart no longer true, Asuka walks a false path and should abandon her school, urging her to die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her despair, Asuka remembers her father&#039;s words about asking her own heart what is right, like water filling a square bowl. She tells the shadow that perceptions of right and wrong can change with the situation, and though she cannot refute the shadow&#039;s claims, she knows her heart believed her actions were just. Believing words alone cannot reach the shadow, Asuka challenges her to a fight to prove her blade&#039;s strength reflects her sincere heart. The shadow warns that slaying her means slaying herself, but Asuka declares she fears being untrue to herself more than death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their swords clash, and after a long battle, the shadow succumbs to Asuka&#039;s attack and acknowledges her blade was as pure as her heart. The shadow warns she may return in a different form if Asuka&#039;s heart becomes stained again, then vanishes. Asuka awakens near a pond deep in the forest, where she had gone to meditate as part of her training. She remembers the shadow&#039;s promise and considers asking Mitama what it all meant, but feels her father&#039;s words have been engraved in her more deeply now. With her resolve unwavering, she runs back to the dojo, taking a straight path out of the woods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka awakens to find herself in a strange, cloud-filled void. A shadowy copy of herself appears, introducing itself as the part of her she has suppressed deep within her heart. The shadow urges Nanaka to end her pursuit of vengeance, calling it a fruitless endeavor that changes nothing. Nanaka refuses, explaining that the act of revenge itself holds meaning for her, not the result. The shadow questions where vengeance has led her: a life of constant danger in an endless struggle against Witches. Nanaka admits there is nothing to gain from her actions, but her conviction remains unshakable. The shadow then accuses Nanaka of dragging Akira, Kako, and Meiyui into her vengeance, using them to fulfill her goals. Nanaka acknowledges this truth but insists she would never throw their lives away. She believes fate brought them together to fight a common enemy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka recalls the moments before she lost consciousness. Her team had cornered a Witch, but it disappeared and reappeared near a weakened Kako. Nanaka leaped in to shield her, and Akira and Meiyui joined the fight. The shadow suggests Nanaka protected Kako to redeem herself, but Nanaka denies this. The shadow warns it will continue watching from the depths of her heart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka awakens to find her teammates standing over her, relieved she is alive. The Witch is defeated. Nanaka tells Kako not to worry about anything, as they are teammates. Meiyui finds her choice of words unusual, but Akira insists Nanaka see Mitama for a checkup. Kako thanks Nanaka for protecting her. Nanaka smiles, thinking to herself that each of them is their own flower, supporting one another through their shared fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis====&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha announces that a cafe Yachiyo frequents has opened a new location near Mikazuki Villa, and the group decides to visit on opening day. They arrive to find it is actually a Curry House CoCo Ichibanya, and Yachiyo passionately explains the menu options as they wait for the store to open.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the store opens early, the employee announces they cannot open today due to a missing delivery truck carrying ingredients. The employee breaks down in tears, explaining her family came to see her first store opening. The group notices magical energy emanating from the store and decides to help find the truck, promising to return for curry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They investigate at the last store the truck visited. The employee there confirms the truck is missing but provides spare ingredients and explains that stores support each other in times of trouble. The group splits into two teams: one to gather ingredients from other stores, and one to trace the truck&#039;s route. During coordination, they learn a second CoCoIchi truck has also gone missing on the same road.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While gathering ingredients, Tsuruno&#039;s group encounters a lost, hungry girl who flees upon hearing CoCoIchi and nearly crashes into Sana. Afterward, Sana realizes the employee at the new store could see her despite her invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s group follows the road where both trucks disappeared and finds a Witch&#039;s barrier. Inside, they find both trucks and their drivers. Iroha and Ui engage the Witch&#039;s familiars while Yachiyo secures the drivers. Iroha realizes the Witch is targeting the cargo, so she throws curry ingredients at it, causing the Witch to abandon the fight and allowing them to defeat it easily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno calls with urgent news that the store employee is a Magical Girl, her missing little sister is also a Magical Girl, and she has not been able to contact her since yesterday. The group fears the curry-loving Witch they just defeated was the sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the new store, where the employee is preparing their reward curry. Before Iroha can confess, a girl rushes in calling for her sister. It is the employee&#039;s little sister, alive and well. The group realizes the Witch was simply a curry-loving Witch unrelated to the sister. They finally sit down to enjoy the promised curry together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui====&lt;br /&gt;
* Meiyui&#039;s family is helping organize a local event when a stranger stabs one of their members and flees, dropping a badge. Meiyui chooses to tend to the victim rather than give chase, despite his protests that she is being too soft.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many in the organization want revenge, but Meiyui refuses, not wanting to return to their old ways as an evil organization. The members are reluctant to involve the police due to being falsely accused of murder three years prior. Meiyui had contracted with Kyubey back then to expose the truth with her wish, but lingering distrust remains.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui goes alone to track the culprit. The dropped badge leads her to an abandoned company tied to illegal labor her family had helped shut down. After defeating a stray Witch, she is ambushed and kidnapped by a man with a taser.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She wakes handcuffed alongside about ten others. The kidnappers reveal the badge was a trap to lure her. They include a former police officer who had fabricated evidence against her family and associates of the real murderer from that case, all blaming the Blue Seas for ruining their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her Soul Gem is heavily tainted from the Witch fight, and she begins hearing her Doppel&#039;s voice. In a cloudy void, her shadow self insists she should have killed these enemies when she had the chance, arguing her organization cannot survive without dirtying their hands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Meiyui struggles to stay conscious, she uses her last energy to beg the culprits to leave her family alone, insisting they are not a bad group. The stabber dismisses her pleas and suggests killing her as a warning instead. Her Doppel mocks her, saying evil people will always exist no matter how sincerely she tries to live righteously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, her organization members arrive to rescue her. The stabbed victim is among them, now grateful Meiyui had stayed to help him instead of chasing revenge. He admits he used to believe abandoning burdens was the way of the world, but facing death alone showed him he was wrong. He is alive because of Meiyui&#039;s strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hearing this, Meiyui&#039;s mind clears. In the void, her Doppel asks if she is ready to kill them, but Meiyui rejects violence entirely. The Doppel submits, allowing her to put everyone in the area to sleep without bloodshed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The police soon arrive after the kidnapper, persuaded by Meiyui, confesses over the phone. They find several family members asleep everywhere and note a look of complete relief on Meiyui&#039;s sleeping face.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Little Bird&#039;s Star====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe and other Black Feathers are in Fendt Hope, commiserating about their weakness. A White Feather had to bail them out after they were followed by a Witch while delivering a parcel from Mitama&#039;s shop. They discuss Yachiyo Nanami, a veteran Magical Girl who destroys Uwasas.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu and Nemu emerge from a room arguing. Nemu dismisses Mifuyu and approaches the Black Feathers with a request. She asks them to investigate the &amp;quot;Uwasa of the Jealous Coward,&amp;quot; also called the &amp;quot;Green-Eyed Coward.&amp;quot; Kuroe hesitates but agrees when Nemu insists she has the aptitude.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group investigates an area with many students but cannot find the Uwasa. The other Black Feathers leave for personal commitments. Kuroe stays, feeling she has nothing to return to. The Uwasa manifests when Kuroe expresses envy toward the other girls&#039; normal lives. Two Black Feathers are knocked unconscious. Nemu is satisfied with the results and tasks Kuroe with investigating more Uwasas starting tomorrow. Kuroe protests but Nemu leaves before she can refuse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Memoria 1743.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The Amane twins, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo, meet Kuroe at Fendt Hope and they begin investigating Uwasas in Sakae Ward but find nothing. They move to Hokuyo Ward. Kuroe notices a missing cat poster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They sense Yachiyo&#039;s group nearby and flee. Yachiyo and Iroha corner Kuroe. The twins escape. Yachiyo interrogates Kuroe. An Uwasa resembling Kuroe appears and attacks, then disappears. Yachiyo accuses Kuroe of controlling it. Kuroe insists she had no knowledge of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo decides to take Kuroe camping to monitor her. At the campground, the Amane twins briefly contact Kuroe and say they will consult Nemu, so Kuroe resolves to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe helps Iroha gather firewood. Iroha is scared by a caterpillar and Kuroe removes it. Kuroe introduces herself by name. She helps the group set up their tent and prepare lunch, using skills learned from Wings of Magius training. She reminds herself not to get drawn into their warm atmosphere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mentions a waterfall power spot. Kuroe offers to get water. Iroha accompanies her. They get lost. A woman helps Kuroe find the waterfall and gives her an empty bottle. The woman explains the place is her personal power spot for resetting her mind. Kuroe wishes she had strength to face the future. The Uwasa appears and attacks the woman. Iroha arrives and finds the woman unconscious. Kuroe begs Iroha for help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe carries the unconscious woman back to the campsite. The Amane twins inform her that Nemu says she is possessed by the Uwasa and should stay with Yachiyo&#039;s group. Yachiyo warns that if more casualties occur, she will destroy the Uwasa. Iroha suggests keeping Kuroe for observation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group participates in a stamp rally and Iroha and Kuroe pair up. They discover they are both from Takarazaki. Iroha explains she moved to Kamihama to find her missing sister. Suddenly, a Witch appears and Kuroe and Iroha fight it together. Kuroe acts as a decoy while Iroha defeats the Witch. Kuroe feels inadequate compared to Iroha&#039;s courage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe asks for time alone and she reflects on her fears and envy. The Uwasa appears again, resembling Kuroe. The group fights it and Iroha urges Kuroe to destroy the Uwasa. Kuroe admits she is afraid she cannot be herself, so she and Iroha destroy the Uwasa together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amane twins inform Kuroe they must report the Uwasa&#039;s destruction, yet Kuroe does not regret it. Iroha asks to talk with Kuroe and Yachiyo offers them tea. Kuroe admits she feels safe with the Wings of Magius because they represent hope for her. Iroha accepts this and Kuroe tells Iroha she wants to be like her someday. They part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe finds the missing cat and returns it to its owner, who is overjoyed. Kuroe realizes she saved someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe reports to Nemu and Mifuyu. Nemu reveals the Uwasa summons itself based on dissatisfaction and envy. Nemu admits she expected Yachiyo&#039;s group to handle an accident with the Uwasa. However, Nemu is satisfied that she now has more research on fusing Uwasa with Magical Girls, however Mifuyu warns Nemu not to experiment on the Feathers. Kuroe realizes that even the Magius are imperfect and she reflects on her long day. She resolves to do her best, one step at a time, and hopes to see Iroha again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 7th==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia and Sana decide to buy matching coasters as a gift for Yachiyo, to show their appreciation, and after some searching, they find a suitable set.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: Memories That Reveal the Truth]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 8th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the plan to present the gift is interrupted when Mifuyu Azusa arrives at the villa before Yachiyo returns home. The girls&#039; plan was for Iroha to wait inside while the others came from outside to surprise Yachiyo. Mifuyu prepares tea and reveals one of the two mugs on the top shelf, which Yachiyo forbade Iroha from using, belongs to her. Mifuyu invites Iroha to a lecture hosted by the Wings of the Magius to explain their goal of &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls. The lecture is scheduled for two days later at the Memory Museum and Iroha agrees to investigate the Rumor about the museum first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo returns home and is visibly distressed to find Mifuyu there. Mifuyu leaves, asking Iroha to inform the others about the lecture. Before finally leaving, Mifuyu returns to speak to Yachiyo privately. She references a &amp;quot;promise&amp;quot; they made a year ago, and accuses Yachiyo of returning to her old ways. Yachiyo insists her relationship with Iroha and the others is &amp;quot;just cooperating.&amp;quot; Yachiyo retreats to her room without receiving the coasters. That night, Yachiyo reflects on her past, resolving to return to the person she once was.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 9th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the lecture, Iroha is unable to give Yachiyo the coasters due to Yachiyo&#039;s low spirits. Iroha discusses her plan to attend the Wings of the Magius lecture with Madoka Kaname via text. Iroha then attempts to investigate the Rumor of the Memory Museum. Yachiyo claims no knowledge of it and leaves for school. Iroha and Momoko ask Mitama, who refuses to share information to maintain her neutrality. After the visit, Mitama has a separate conversation with Momoko about Momoko&#039;s own secret, advising her to tell her friends the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede and Rena help Iroha by summoning the creature that recites the Rumor of the Memory Museum, which allows people to view researched memories. Tsuruno&#039;s father provides the location of the similar-sounding &amp;quot;Kamihama Memorial Museum.&amp;quot; That evening, Yachiyo refuses to join the investigation, reiterating that her relationship with the others is strictly professional, which saddens Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Saturday, the 10th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the lecture, Yachiyo again refuses to go to the museum and Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana go to the Kamihama Memorial Museum without her. There, they are greeted by Touka Satomi, who reveals herself as one of the three Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently at Mikazuki, Yachiyo, haunted by memories of past friends, decides she must investigate the Memory Museum herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Touka throne 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka Satomi gives them a lecture titled &amp;quot;The Truth Behind Magical Girls.&amp;quot; She presents three key items through illustrative stories:&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 1: Soul Gems. A story reveals that a Soul Gem is a Magical Girl&#039;s actual soul. Using magic consumes this life force, and if the gem shatters, the Magical Girl dies. Touka uses an analogy of an internal vs. external battery to explain Soul Gems and Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 2: Witches. A second story demonstrates that when a Magical Girl&#039;s Soul Gem becomes fully corrupted, she transforms into a Witch. This revelation traumatizes Felicia, who realizes the Witches she has been killing were once Magical Girls and that she herself is destined to become one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 3: Doppels. A third story explains that in Kamihama City, a fully corrupted Soul Gem can manifest a &amp;quot;Doppel&amp;quot; instead of a Witch. The Wings of the Magius present this as the key to &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls from their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* To prove their claims, Touka and Mifuyu Azusa activate the Memory Museum&#039;s Rumor. Mifuyu presents a book containing her own memories, inviting the group to witness the truth of the lecture firsthand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo arrives at the museum and confronts Touka. She is shown into the memory dimension where Iroha and the others are and Mifuyu activates the Rumor, forcing the group to relive her memories. The memories depict Yachiyo&#039;s former team, Mikazuki Villa:&lt;br /&gt;
** The first memory shows Kanae Yukino sacrificing herself to reveal a Witch&#039;s weakness. Her uninjured body is found next to her shattered Soul Gem, proving the Soul Gem is the Magical Girl&#039;s life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second memory shows Mel Anna using too much magic to protect Yachiyo. With no Grief Seed to purify her fully corrupted Soul Gem, Mel transforms into a Witch before the team&#039;s eyes, confirming Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The third memory shows Mifuyu&#039;s despair six months after Mel&#039;s death, causing her Soul Gem to corrupt fully. Instead of becoming a Witch, she manifests a Doppel. Touka then appears and recruits her into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno is consumed by guilt over Mel&#039;s death, believing her absence that day was the cause. Felicia is horrified, realizing the Witches she killed were Magical Girls and Sana is terrified but feels powerless to change the system. Touka and Mifuyu use this emotional vulnerability to press their recruitment offers to each girl, promising a world where these tragedies are impossible and even suggesting Sana could be freed from her wish of invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo reject the offer to join and Yachiyo compares the Magius&#039; methods to Kyubey&#039;s, accusing them of exploiting weaknesses. Yachiyo then announces she is disbanding their team, which Iroha protests, but Yachiyo insists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka reveals that Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana have been brainwashed and now serve the Wings of the Magius. Alina Gray arrives and traps Iroha and Yachiyo within her Labyrinth and leaves them to face a Witch. As they fight the Witch, Yachiyo reiterates her decision to disband the team and work alone. She reveals her wish was &amp;quot;I want to survive,&amp;quot; and explains that she interprets this as a curse: the power to survive by sacrificing her teammates, based on the last words of her former comrades, Kanae and Mel, who both died while she lived. Yachiyo believes that to protect Iroha, she must sever their partnership.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha rejects Yachiyo&#039;s conclusion. She declares she will defeat the Uwasa alone to prove Yachiyo&#039;s &amp;quot;curse&amp;quot; is not real and that she can protect Yachiyo. Iroha states she is angry that Yachiyo made this decision for everyone and vows to rescue their brainwashed friends. She defeats the Witch and rejects Yachiyo&#039;s belief in a cursed wish and declares herself the new leader to nullify its perceived effect. Yachiyo relents and agrees to work with Iroha to save their friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the same time, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, having detected Mami&#039;s magic while investigating Kamihama, investigate the closed Kamihama Recording Museum. They are attacked by the Wings of the Magius. While Madoka and Homura hold them off, Sayaka proceeds and witnesses Mami, transformed into &amp;quot;Holy Mami,&amp;quot; attacking Iroha and Yachiyo. It is here that Sayaka learns the horrific truth that Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: A Stand-Off With Fate]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, now a brainwashed member of the Wings of the Magius, confronts them. As Iroha and Yachiyo are too injured to fight, Sayaka Miki arrives and intervenes. Sayaka uses a bomb from Homura to create a diversion, allowing the three to escape.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After their escape, Sayaka gives Iroha a Grief Seed. Iroha explains the truth about Witches and the Wings of the Magius to Sayaka, who is horrified. Sayaka leaves to process this information and Iroha and Yachiyo walk home in silence to reflect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After fleeing the museum, Sayaka reunites with Madoka and Homura, defeats their pursuers in a distraught state, and explains what happened to Mami to them, as well as the truth about becoming Witches.The group returns to Mitakihara in silence but Madoka resolves to find a way to avoid their fate and to save Mami. Sayaka agrees to fight back as well and later decides to meet with Kyoko Sakura.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, at Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo reaffirm their commitment to save their friends and Momoko arrives, having told the secret of Magical Girls to Rena and Kaede. Yachiyo also apologizes for her actions and explains her fears about her wish. Momoko forgives her and reaffirms their friendship. Iroha then receives a text from Madoka, who promises to come to Kamihama to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Sayaka meets Kyoko and reveals the truth about Witches. Kyoko deduces this is what the Wings of the Magius meant by &amp;quot;saving&amp;quot; Magical Girls. Kyoko declares she will find a way to avoid becoming a Witch and confront the Wings of the Magius alone, rejecting Sayaka&#039;s offer of help. Despite Sayaka&#039;s protests, Kyoko leaves to operate solo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Likely during this time, Yachiyo pulls out a box containing what her former friends Kanae Yukino and Mel Anna left behind. She has never opened it since filling it and spends the entire day staring at it, unable to lift the lid. When Iroha arrives and asks about it, Yachiyo explains and admits she is trying to work through her feelings. Iroha offers to help, but Yachiyo deflects, reminding her they were supposed to visit Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls visit Mitama Yakumo and present Grief Seeds as payment for adjustment. Mitama is surprised by the offering and promises to do her best, but she expresses concern about Yachiyo&#039;s emotional state. She suggests Yachiyo clear up her issues with the box before moving forward and offers to adjust both girls at once as a special exception.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Mitama works on her, Yachiyo finds herself in a gray room confronted by a shadowy doppelganger. The shadow accuses her of being afraid of the future and clinging to the past. When Yachiyo refuses to give in to despair, the shadow transforms into her doppel, but she stands firm, accepting her fear while choosing to move forward. Iroha appears beside her, and together they bid farewell to visions of Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo awakens and realizes Mitama adjusted them together intentionally, trusting Iroha could help her if needed. She thanks Mitama for looking out for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at her house, Yachiyo finally opens the box with Iroha beside her. Inside, Kanae left a book of lyrics about becoming a circle with others, and Mel left fortune telling impressions predicting a future where many magical girls would gather in Kamihama. Yachiyo cries as she reads their words. Iroha suggests they head toward that gentle future together. Yachiyo agrees but says first they need to get back their own three points: Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha resolves to find her lost friends and mentally tells Ui to wait a bit longer. Iroha and Yachiyo finish cleaning their house. Iroha resolves to give the coasters she and the others bought for Yachiyo when everyone is reunited. Iroha says she sent a message to Madoka in Mitakihara City, but hasn&#039;t gotten a response.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 7: Awakening to Paradise]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Immediately after Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana are taken, Mifuyu reports to Touka and Alina that the brainwashing on the three is holding, so Touka selects Tsuruno for a mission, which Alina states will involve &amp;quot;mass murder.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in her room, Iroha thinks back to when she celebrated Christmas with her friends, but resolves to keep going with her mission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sunday, the 11th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo investigate the Kamihama Rumor Files at Mikazuki Villa. Iroha recognizes some of the Rumors. They meet with Momoko, who mentions Tsuruno&#039;s perfect school attendance record is now broken and that a new amusement park is also opening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo visit Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant and her father reveals Tsuruno and Felicia visited once. Tsuruno told him she found a place where she feels safe and would not return and he notes her expression was blank, similar to how she looked a year ago after Mel&#039;s death. Afterwards, a White Feather ambushes Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will be used for a mission like Tsuruno, and the two fight off the attacker.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Monday, the 12th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo devise a plan to destroy Rumors across Kamihama to lure out the Wings of the Magius and locate their base. They share this plan with Momoko, who offers to help by getting Grief Seeds for them while they hunt. Momoko then goes to check on Kaede, who is hiding in her room. She hugs Kaede and tells her she and Rena will always be there to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo systematically hunt Rumors like the &amp;quot;Historical Battle Marker,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Castle Town Illusion,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Headless Biker Gang,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Puzzle Tiles Lock,&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;Fashion Monster.&amp;quot; They also interrogate captured Feathers, but none reveal information about Tsuruno, Felicia, or Sana&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Momoko investigates a rapidly spreading rumor about a new amusement park. She notes it originated in the east and spread west through Sakae, Mizuna, and Shinsei Wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha and Yachiyo analyze the Kamihama Rumor Files, marking all known Rumor locations on a map. They identify a pattern: Rumors cluster more densely in Shinsei Ward, with a notable concentration around Satomi Medical Center, the hospital where Ui was supposedly treated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They travel to the hospital area and are ambushed by Feathers. Felicia and Sana, who had broken free of the brainwashing, arrive and help fight off the attackers. The four Magical Girls reunite and Felicia and Sana reveal they pretended to be brainwashed to gather information. Momoko confirms the amusement park rumor spread from east to west and will open at dawn in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Sana explain to Yachiyo and Iroha that Mifuyu used her illusion magic to break their brainwashing. Mifuyu revealed the Magius are protecting and strengthening Witches for their liberation plan and are planning to use the brainwashed Magical Girls to cross a dangerous line. Mifuyu attempted to free Tsuruno but failed, as Tsuruno&#039;s reason for being brainwashed was different. Mifuyu then helped Felicia and Sana escape but chose to remain behind, stating they would be enemies next time they meet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko arrives and shares her investigation into a new Rumor about an amusement park opening at dawn in two days. She confirms it spread from the east, and the group overlays the Rumor locations on a map and identifies a pattern suggesting a source or &amp;quot;eye of the storm&amp;quot; in the eastern wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kanagi screenshot.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo decides to contact Kanagi Izumi, the powerful Magical Girl who controls the eastern Daito and Kosho Wards and is a former rival of hers. Kanagi agrees to an alliance, and during their call, Tsukasa of the Wings of the Magius arrives at Kanagi&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tuesday, the 13th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The morning, Felicia and Sana try to accompany Iroha and Yachiyo but are told to rest due to their collapse the previous night. Iroha and Yachiyo leave them behind. Meanwhile in Kosho Ward, Iroha, Yachiyo, Momoko, and Kanagi meet and Kanagi agrees to ally with them against the Wings of the Magius. They combine their Rumor data on a map, which reveals a circular pattern with a vacant center in Kosho Ward and Kanagi identifies the old railway yard as the likely location of the Wings&#039; base.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After learning the truth about Witches, Madoka questions Kyubey about a way to avoid becoming a Witch. Kyubey states he knows of no method and reveals he cannot enter Kamihama City himself. He proposes an alliance to investigate the Wings of the Magius but Madoka refuses to promise cooperation. She resolves to return to Kamihama with her friends, but then a Witch from Kamihama appears in Mitakihara.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 7: Eve of the Awakening]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura defeat the Kamihama Witch. They share Grief Seeds and note the alarming appearance of foreign Witches in their city. The trio resolves to go to Kamihama the next day to find answers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Around this time, Kyoko successfully infiltrates the Wings of the Magius. She is assigned to a team tasked with dealing with a group that erases Rumors, which she suspects is Iroha&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s group travels to the railway yard but finds it empty. They are ambushed by Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who summon Witches and during the battle, Kanagi uses her unique power to read Iroha&#039;s true intentions and confirms her sincerity. Kanagi then joins the fight and helps defeat the Amane sisters and their Black Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi uses her power on the defeated Amane sisters to read their minds and she learns that Tsuruno is still completely brainwashed and has become part of an Uwasa to protect it. She also learns Tsuruno&#039;s location is at the Ferris Wheel Field in Daito Ward and the group prepares to move out immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Sana and Felicia wait anxiously and Yachiyo calls them with an update.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Rena visits Kaede at her house, and after an argument involving slapping and pinching, Kaede reconciles with Rena and agrees to return to school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team arrives in Daito Ward, where Yachiyo and Iroha plan to enter the &amp;quot;amusement park&amp;quot; Rumor to save Tsuruno, while Felicia, Sana, Momoko, and Kanagi hold off the Wings of the Magius. The group locates the Rumor&#039;s entrance and Kanagi and Momoko stay behind to fight the Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo proceed and confront Alina, Touka, and Mifuyu, where Alina declares her intent to erase them. During the battle, Mifuyu secretly tells Yachiyo that destroying the main Uwasa will kill Tsuruno, and that they must instead tear the Uwasa from her by connecting with her heart. Mifuyu also reveals Tsuruno is in a Ferris wheel car.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101705 uwasatsuruno.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo enter the Rumor, &amp;quot;Chelation Land,&amp;quot; which induces a hazy, thoughtless state. They find Tsuruno, who has fully merged with the Uwasa and acts as the park&#039;s host. Tsuruno tries to force them to relax and stay, serving them hotpot in mugs reminiscent of Mikazuki Villa, but they refuse and attempt to reason with Tsuruno, and she attacks them. Following Mifuyu&#039;s advice, they combine their magic to tear the Uwasa from Tsuruno in one powerful strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nemu02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After Tsuruno is freed from the Uwasa, Yachiyo realizes that Tsuruno&#039;s cheerful demeanor was a facade to hide her pain and guilt over past events, including the death of Mel. The team defeats the main Uwasa of Chelation Land and the Magius, Touka, Nemu Hiiragi, and Alina, confront the group. Nemu reveals she is the &amp;quot;Creator&amp;quot; of all the Rumors in Kamihama and the Magius explain their goal: to use the energy generated by Rumors and Witches to hatch &amp;quot;Embryo Eve,&amp;quot; a being that will liberate all Magical Girls worldwide from the fate of becoming Witches. They state the phenomenon requires the presence of all three Magius and a massive energy source, for which they have used the people of Kamihama and the teams part ways in opposition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 14th==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101701 coaster02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, at Mikazuki Villa, the team summarizes the Magius&#039; plan and that Kamihama is an incubator for Embryo Eve. They resolve to stop the Magius due to the plan&#039;s high human cost and the group gives Yachiyo the set of sakura blossom-themed coasters as a symbol of their team unity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka are separately attacked by multiple Kamihama Witches in Mitakihara before reuniting. They realize the Witch incursion is a coordinated attack meant to prevent them from leaving Mitakihara. Their magic and Grief Seed reserves are heavily depleted in the constant battles.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the ongoing Witch attacks, the trio is overwhelmed by a powerful Witch and is forced to retreat. Sayaka breaks down, admitting her terror of becoming a Witch and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka share their fears and resolve to face the threat together. They are observed by Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, who imply the attack is part of their plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Fendt Hope, Kyoko, having gained the trust of her unit, is taken on a tour of the Wings of the Magius headquarters by her White Feather superior.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, the three defeat the Feathers sent to observe them, and after interrogating them, they receive a message from Iroha about how to save Mami. Holy Mami arrives to Mitakihara and reveals she brought the Witches to Mitakihara to keep the three of them &amp;quot;safe,&amp;quot; and insists the Magius will save them. Alina Gray also appears and traps Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka in a Barrier, which Mami seals with her ribbons.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her infiltration, Kyoko is taken to Hotel Fenthope by Mifuyu Azusa. She confronts Holy Mami, accusing her of not being the real Mami Tomoe. Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi arrive and reinforce the Rumor brainwashing on Mami. Mifuyu secretly escorts Kyoko away and reveals the Magius&#039; plans: they are using a mysterious entity called &amp;quot;Eve&amp;quot; to liberate Magical Girls and are deliberately bringing Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama to hatch it. Horrified, Kyoko rejects the Magius and is led out of the city by Mifuyu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Once More From Here]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko arrives in Mitakihara and frees Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka from Alina&#039;s Barrier. She explains the Magius&#039; plan to bring Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama and Homura urges the group to stay in Mitakihara for safety. Kyoko departs alone, later resolving to return and crush the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Iroha has a sudden memory flashback to the hospital, triggered by the word &amp;quot;sakura.&amp;quot; She remembers a story she, Ui, Touka, and Nemu created about the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot; She deduces this Rumor is real and located at the hospital, and that all the Rumors were created there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Touka and Nemu observe that Embryo Eve has reached a critical state and they confirm that a legendary, cross-dimensional event they foresaw: the arrival of Walpurgisnacht, will provide the final, massive energy surge needed to hatch Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo calls a meeting with the Mikazuki Villa household, Tsuruno, and the Momoko trio to share her concern that rumors persist even after they defeat the Uwasa themselves. The group splits up to investigate whether the original Uwasa have truly vanished or transformed into something new.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Hereafter]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko, Kaede, and Rena investigate the Breakup Staircase and find only scattered internet gossip remains. During their search, lingering tensions surface over Rena&#039;s painful memories of when Kaede was kidnapped by that Uwasa, but the trio ultimately reconciles and continues working together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno visit Mizuna Shrine, where the Séance Shrine Uwasa has transformed into a popular spot for relationship prayers with new mascots. They encounter a grieving girl who comes daily to pray for her deceased friend, and Yachiyo is reminded of her own departed companions Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Felicia track down the man behind the revived Misery Water rumor, who confesses he was scammed into buying the water and cannot bring himself to deceive others. Felicia helps him find honest work, and the rumors die out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana investigates an online forum where troubled users make veiled threats, but the rumor fades without incident. Tsuruno and Iroha check Chelation Land, where Tsuruno reflects on her past brainwashing and muses about whether some Uwasa exist independently of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The groups reconvene and report that all investigated rumors have left minimal traces. Yachiyo concludes their investigation of the Uwasa is complete, and only the Wings of Magius themselves remain to be confronted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voices from Beyond, Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the afterlife, Mel Anna meets Kanae Yukino, another Magical Girl ghost who also died fighting a Witch. Mel is thrilled to discover they were both on a team with Yachiyo Nanami and calls Kanae her senpai. Kanae takes Mel to a ghost cafe where deceased Magical Girls gather, explaining they cannot interact with the living world except through psychics.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Voices From Beyond]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they wander Kamihama, Mel notices Witch numbers rising dramatically and worries about Yachiyo. They follow Yachiyo and are relieved to find she has new companions in Iroha Tamaki and others, though they remain concerned about their former teammate Mifuyu&#039;s absence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, they watch helplessly as Yachiyo battles the Wings of Magius and eventually enters the Memory Museum, where she relives the trauma of losing Mel and Kanae. When Yachiyo dissolves her team afterward, convinced her magic causes others to die for her, the ghosts desperately try to reach her. Kanae notices Yachiyo kept their mementos: Mel&#039;s fortune log and Kanae&#039;s notebook. They focus their thoughts on these items, and that night, Yachiyo discovers their messages—Kanae&#039;s lyrics about forming a circle and Mel&#039;s fortune predicting the current events. Grateful, she resolves to move forward. Their successful contact gets their ghost licenses suspended, and they watch Yachiyo&#039;s dream of their encounter before fading.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 15th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius initiate a city-wide offensive, unleashing powerful Witches and sending brainwashed Black and White Feathers to indiscriminately attack other Magical Girls. Mami delivers a declaration of war to Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will no longer delay their plan for &amp;quot;freedom.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Kamihama, Painted in Fiction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magical Girls of Kamihama form a coordinated response and Yachiyo&#039;s team devises a strategy: first, eliminate the unleashed Witches; second, protect other Magical Girls and direct them to Mitama&#039;s shop as a safe haven; third, deal with the rampaging Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, recalling the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; in Hokuyo Ward, theorizes it could be the location of the Magius&#039; hidden base. Yachiyo approves Iroha and Sana to investigate this lead separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next several hours, the teams execute the plan. Yachiyo rescues Ren from a Black Feather and escorts her to Mitama&#039;s shop. Kaede Afinds Konomi protecting an injured Kako; together they defeat a Witch and get Kako to safety. Rena aids Asuka and Sasara, later teaming with Ria and Manaka to defeat a Witch. Momoko and Aimi rescue Kokoro and Masara from Feathers. Tsuruno works with Hinano to eliminate a Witch and warns her about the Feathers. Felicia fights alongside Akira and Nanaka&#039;s group, eventually reuniting with Tsuruno. Kanagi protects Himika from Feathers and sends her to Mitama&#039;s. Yachiyo and Kanagi also rescue Riko and Ayaka from Feather attacks and track the enemy to a heliport. Yachiyo, Kanagi, Momoko&#039;s team, and Tsuruno&#039;s team successfully clear the city of the powerful Witches and they rescue and guide numerous Magical Girls to Mitama&#039;s shop. Momoko confronts Mitama, challenging her to abandon her neutral stance and Mitama agrees to allow her shop to be used as a headquarters and to share her knowledge about the Magius&#039; plans.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama reveals the truth that Magical Girls are destined to become Witches, and that the Magius aim to use the energy from Embryo Eve to spread the Doppel phenomenon worldwide, preventing this fate. However, their methods involve sacrificing the citizens of Kamihama and other Magical Girls to gather this energy, so the Magical Girls at the shelter decide to join the fight against the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, in Chuo Ward, Yachiyo and Kanagi are ambushed by Mami and a horde of brainwashed Feathers at the Kamihama Central Tower heliport. The battle is difficult due to the Feathers&#039; numbers and Mami&#039;s enhanced power from the Uwasa. Kanagi reads Mami&#039;s mind and finds her personality has been completely overwritten by the Uwasa&#039;s influence, leaving only her devotion to the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia then arrive as reinforcements and during the fight, a Black Feather loses her &amp;quot;Receiver Pendant.&amp;quot; Kanagi reads this Feather&#039;s mind, uncovering that the Feathers&#039; berserk state is caused by the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Receiver Pendant,&amp;quot; which numbs their emotions and forces them to obey the Magius&#039; orders. The memory also reveals the three Magius orchestrating the attack to harvest emotional energy from the chaos, believing it will bring their utopia closer. The Feather who lost her pendant then begins to regain her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team battles the brainwashed Mami and the Wings of the Magius. With the help of Momoko&#039;s team and Kanagi&#039;s ability to read the enemy&#039;s weakness, they remove the Uwasa from Mami, freeing her from its control. Mami collapses from exhaustion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Homura pleads with Madoka and Sayaka not to go to Kamihama, fearing for their lives against Walpurgisnacht. After initial hesitation, Madoka and Sayaka resolve to go and Homura agrees to accompany them. The trio leaves for Kamihama but cannot contact Iroha Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Upon arriving in Kamihama, the three are attacked by brainwashed Black Feathers in Sakae Ward, but the Feathers suddenly regain their senses and flee. The trio pursues them into Central Ward and meets Kanoko Yayoi, Karin Misono, and Natsuki Utsuho. They learn that other Magical Girls are gathering at Mitama Yakumo&#039;s office and Karin reveals she saw Nanaka Tokiwa carrying an unconscious Mami there. The group goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds Mami, who has been freed from the Magius&#039; control and awakens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius then execute their plan: they cause a city-wide blackout and seize control of Kamihama&#039;s radio waves and power grid. They use Nemu&#039;s power to project a false utopia over the city, attracting Witches, and Touka&#039;s power to send a signal that summons the legendary Witch, Walpurgisnacht. Their goal is to use the chaos and emotional energy to hatch &amp;quot;Eve.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana infiltrate the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; Labyrinth, initially having their presence hidden due to Sana&#039;s unique magic. There, Iroha confronts Touka and Nemu, using the Uwasa itself as proof that her memories of their shared past with Ui are real. Despite this, Touka and Nemu don&#039;t believe her and refuse to halt their plans. Alina arrives, captures Iroha, and takes her to their main base, Hotel Fendt Hope. Afterwards, Sana escapes and informs Yachiyo&#039;s arriving team of Iroha&#039;s capture.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Mitama reveals she previously supplied the Wings with Grief Seeds in exchange for neutrality but has now chosen to side with Yachiyo&#039;s team against them. Mami herself awakens, now having reconciled with her inner turmoil. Now, Yachiyo&#039;s team, reinforced by Momoko&#039;s team and Mami, prepares to assault Hotel Fendt Hope to rescue Iroha and stop the Magius before Walpurgisnacht arrives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, freed from the Uwasa&#039;s influence, resolves to expose the Magius&#039; true plans to the Feathers and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka decide to support her instead of joining Iroha&#039;s group. Nanaka and her team escort them to the heliport and during the journey, Mami explains to Nanaka that the Feathers&#039; loyalty was placed not in the Magius themselves, but in Mifuyu Azusa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the heliport, Mami arrives where the exhausted Feathers and Kamihama Magical Girls are at a stalemate. She reveals the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice hundreds of civilians, including the Feathers&#039; own friends and family, to Walpurgisnacht. She also details their previous use of the Chelation Land Rumor for a similar purpose and the Feathers are shocked and dismayed. Some even accuse Mami of hypocrisy, which she does not deny.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Feathers split into two factions: one that still desires liberation at any cost and another that vows to protect Kamihama. A fight breaks out between them and Madoka and the others defend Mami, declaring their unwavering friendship. Moved, Mami asks the Feathers if they have anyone they trust unconditionally, as she now does, and the Feathers state they trust Mifuyu and demand to hear the truth from her directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami entrusts the Feathers to Nanaka&#039;s team, while she, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka then proceed to Hotel Fendthope to aid Iroha. On the way, Mami thanks her friends and asks them to rely on her as an equal ally and friend, not as a veteran. They arrive at the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Mitama is guarding the entrance. She confirms she is aware of Mami&#039;s past struggles and allows the group to pass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 16th==&lt;br /&gt;
* At Hotel Fendt Hope, Sana infiltrates the hotel to find Iroha and she overhears Feathers discussing Iroha&#039;s location and heads there. Iroha is held in a cell and, with her Soul Gem confiscated, she reflects on her memories of Ui, Touka, and Nemu and resolves to stop the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their plans and Alina demands Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem and body be brought to her. A weather report at the same time indicates the approach of Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana locates Iroha&#039;s cell, and she breaks Iroha out, but the act of breaking the cell door triggers an Uwasa, as the entire building is part of a Rumor. Sana defeats the Uwasa and as they flee, they are ambushed by Black Feathers. Kyoko Sakura, who was undergoing an orientation with the Feathers but decided against joining them, intervenes and helps defeat the attackers as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha explains the Magius&#039; goal is to summon Walpurgisnacht, and Kyoko reveals the Magius also plan to use Iroha, Mifuyu, and the Amane sisters as nourishment for &amp;quot;Eve,&amp;quot; the core of the system. Suddenly, Iroha collapses and stops breathing due to the distance from her Soul Gem. A Black Feather who pretended to be unconscious seizes Iroha&#039;s body and escapes with it, and Sana and Kyoko give chase.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team enters the Hotel Fendt Hope through the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth and they split into two teams: Yachiyo&#039;s group heads to the top floor to rescue Mifuyu and the Amane sisters, while Momoko&#039;s group searches for Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team finds Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa unconscious, their bodies separated from their Soul Gems. They quickly recover the Soul Gems, reviving the three, and Mifuyu confirms the Magius summoned Walpurgisnacht to provide energy to hatch Eve. Mifuyu and the Amane sisters renounce the Magius and join Yachiyo&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Iroha is transported by a Black Feather who reveals her motivation: her younger sister turned into a Witch, and she supports the Magius to prevent others from suffering the same fate. Momoko&#039;s team intercepts them and rescues Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko and Sana fight their way through the hotel and reunite with the main group. Momoko&#039;s team recovers a bag containing Iroha&#039;s, Mifuyu&#039;s, and the Amane sisters&#039; Soul Gems. A group of Feathers from the East confronts them but is persuaded by Kanagi to stand down, and they retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the teams reunited, the full coalition of Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, Kanagi, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Kyoko regroups. They possess all the stolen Soul Gems and are united in their goal to stop the Magius and confront Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team&#039;s path to the underground chapel is blocked and Mifuyu determines the magical building, a Rumor crafted by Nemu Hiiragi, has been reconfigured. Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa attempt to break the blockade, but a powerful magical wind erupts, separating the group. Mifuyu, the Amane sisters, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, and Kyoko are blown outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, Sana, Felicia, Tsuruno, and Kanagi remain inside and they defeat an Uwasa that attacks them. Mifuyu communicates from outside that they are locked out, and she devises a new plan: her group will gather other Kamihama Magical Girls to attack and destroy the Uwasa of Hotel Fendt Hope itself, which will collapse the building. She instructs Yachiyo&#039;s group to hurry to the underground chapel for safety before the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu&#039;s group fights off Witches released by Alina Gray as a defense measure. Mami, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka also arrive and assist them. After the battle, Mami convinces Mifuyu to address all the Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, and using the Amane sisters&#039; sound magic, Mifuyu broadcasts a telepathic message across Kamihama, revealing the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice civilians and summon Walpurgisnacht. She urges the Feathers to lay down their arms and prepare to fight the legendary Witch. Many Feathers also heed her call and defect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami then uses her magic to create a small opening in the building&#039;s barrier and enters Hotel Fendt Hope alone to rejoin Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kyoko is noted to be absent. Yachiyo&#039;s team searches for the entrance to the underground chapel and Mami reveals she concealed the entrance with her magic. She severs the ribbon hiding the path, officially breaking her ties with the Wings of the Magius and Mami then leaves to assist with the attack on the Uwasa of Fendt Hope outside. Kyoko meets Mami along the way and gives her a Grief Seed before they both exit the building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team then encounters false copies of Touka, Nemu, and Alina from the Mirror Witch&#039;s barrier; they realize the fakes speak differently and defeat them before continuing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, Mifuyu&#039;s group, now joined by Mami, Kyoko, and the Feathers who defected, attacks the Uwasa of Fendt Hope. Despite a coordinated assault, the Uwasa proves extremely resilient and withstands their combined power. The battle continues as the city-wide weather disaster escalates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team proceeds down a long staircase into a deep, dark underground area filled with strong magical impurities. Along the way, they are confronted by Mirror copies of themselves that voice their deepest insecurities, but each member overcomes their own doubts by relying on their friends. In the underground chapel, they find Alina, Nemu, and Touka waiting for them. At the back of the chapel, they see the massive, unhatched form of the Witch known as Embryo Eve. They reveal the full scope of their plan. They explain that Kyubey&#039;s true mission is to harvest the emotional energy of Magical Girls to counteract the universe&#039;s heat death. The cycle of hope and despair, culminating in a Magical Girl&#039;s transformation into a Witch, produces the necessary energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius intend to usurp this system. They plan to use the phase transition energy from Eve&#039;s transformation into a full Witch to create a permanent forcefield over Kamihama. This field would allow Magical Girls to release their impurities as Doppels instead of becoming Witches, and the energy would be fed back to the universe, making Kyubey and new Magical Girl contracts obsolete. The imminent arrival of Walpurgisnacht is a key part of their plan, as its destruction by Eve will provide the massive energy required.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Despite understanding the plan, Iroha and her team refuse to accept the Magius&#039; methods or their control over the future. The Magius argue that without their plan, Walpurgisnacht will destroy the city regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 2.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, the battle against the Uwasa of Fendt Hope continues. Realizing they are losing, Mifuyu uses a dangerous self-illusion to unleash all her magic at once in a final attack. She destroys the Uwasa but becomes incapacitated in the process as her Soul Gem starts breaking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the chapel, the destruction of the Uwasa causes Fendt Hope&#039;s Labyrinth to collapse, and the chapel is exposed to the outside as the building disappears. After the collapse of Hotel Fendt Hope, the teams reunite in the forest as the Labyrinth vanishes. Yachiyo learns that Mifuyu was severely injured destroying the Uwasa and was taken to Mitama for treatment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius appear with Embryo Eve, now freed from the chapel, and they prepare to fully release Eve so it can devour the approaching Walpurgisnacht. A battle ensues as the teams try to stop them and Iroha and Sana break through the defensive line of Familiars to attack Eve directly. Iroha&#039;s attack on Eve fails and Eve captures Iroha but does not harm her. A bright light emanates from Iroha, allowing Sana to rescue her. Sana reveals she possesses a branch from the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, which was not in bloom when she received it. The branch suddenly blossoms after Iroha touches Eve and Iroha realizes that Embryo Eve is her missing sister, Ui Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana confront Embryo Eve on Takayama Mountain and Iroha believes Eve is her sister, Ui Tamaki, but Eve breaks free from the mountain and begins to move toward Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama City, Walpurgisnacht approaches from the sea, accompanied by a massive horde of Familiars that begin to swarm the city. Magical Girl teams led by Hinano Miyako and Nanaka Tokiwa engage the Familiars along the coast to prevent widespread destruction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the ruins of Hotel Fendt Hope, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo bring the injured Mifuyu to Mitama Yakumo for emergency aid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Takayama Mountain, Iroha pleads with the combined Magical Girl forces not to kill Eve, revealing her belief that it is Ui. The Magius leaders and Alina retreat. Eve leaps into the sky, heading for Sankyo Ward in Kamihama. Yachiyo Nanami&#039;s team prepares to pursue Eve, while Madoka Kaname&#039;s group from Mitakihara heads to the coast to help defend against Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Magius headquarters, Touka and Nemu dismiss Iroha&#039;s claims about Ui, despite Nemu&#039;s private suspicions. Alina expresses interest in Iroha&#039;s memories but remains focused on Eve&#039;s hatching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Eve&#039;s arrival in Sankyo Ward, Mitama informs Iroha and the team that Ui&#039;s true body and Soul Gem are contained within Embryo Eve, which is a &amp;quot;Half-Witch.&amp;quot; To save Ui, they must defeat Eve&#039;s manifested form without destroying the Soul Gem and Mitama identifies a large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest as the core that maintains its form and its weak point. Mitama also treats the comatose Mifuyu, whose Soul Gem is critically cracked from overuse. Mitama stabilizes it but cannot fully heal her, and Tsukuyo and Tsukasa decide to rejoin the fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Eve rampages through Sankyo Ward, the combined Magical Girl teams attack Eve but find their assaults completely ineffective. Mitama, the Amane sisters, and other groups like Hinano Miyako&#039;s team regroup and they decide to consolidate their forces: one group will focus on defeating Eve, while the other prepares for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s landfall.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia readies her hammer and strikes Eve on the head with a magic‑powered blow, using her memory‑obliterating ability to confuse Eve and halt its advance; in the aftermath of the strike, a strange glow is visible near Eve&#039;s belly. Meanwhile, the Amane sisters relay the critical intelligence about Eve&#039;s red jewel weak point to Yachiyo&#039;s team. Eve begins to move toward Chuo Ward, and Sana proposes a plan to immobilize Eve so the team can target its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, the combined forces of Yachiyo&#039;s team, the Amane sisters, and other White Feathers execute a plan to immobilize Embryo Eve. They use chains from Sana&#039;s shield, spears, and plants to bind Eve to a large building and Iroha successfully strikes the large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest, its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eve retaliates by absorbing a massive vortex of impurities its Familiars had collected, causing its body to mutate and merge with the jewel. Iroha then sees a vision of Ui trapped within the core, reaffirming her resolve to save her, but the Magius arrive to protect Eve and ensure it consumes Walpurgisnacht. Iroha declares her intent to enter the gem to save Ui directly, and despite being severely injured, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia hold off the Magius, creating an opening for Iroha to advance toward Eve&#039;s core.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:10-19.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha reaches Ui&#039;s body but cannot shatter the gem surrounding it completely. Touka arrives at her side, and questions her motives. Iroha declares Ui is her sister and a precious friend to Touka and Nemu, and as Iroha reaches for Ui, the Embryo Eve attacks and Lil&#039; Kyubey intervenes and blocks the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu experience a flood of memories, recalling the original events. She remembers seeing Iroha with Kyubey in a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, learning about Magical Girls, and devising a plan with Ui and Nemu to usurp Kyubey&#039;s powers to create an automatic purification system and save all Magical Girls. Their plan failed when Ui&#039;s &amp;quot;harvest&amp;quot; ability went haywire upon her transformation, forcing Nemu to sever Ui&#039;s soul from her body and store it within the de-powered, small Kyubey to prevent her from becoming a Witch. This act erased Ui from the world&#039;s memory, as well as any traces of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Regaining their memories, Touka uses her stored energy to destabilize the Embryo Eve and Nemu uses her stories to restrain it. Iroha shatters Eve&#039;s central gem, and the small Kyubey releases Ui&#039;s soul. Ui awakens and reassures Touka and Nemu that she does not blame them for their shared decision. The Embryo Eve, now soulless, begins to decay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined Magical Girl forces, including Mami, Kyoko, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura, continue their battle against Walpurgisnacht in Chuo Ward. Despite their numbers, the Witch proves immensely powerful and resilient.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102304 mikage desire.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, a massive explosion of light and energy erupts from the location of the decaying Embryo Eve. The Eve has transformed into a new, stable form, and Touka deduces that Alina, who had previously shrunk the anti-Kyubey forcefield to contain the city&#039;s energy, has now wrapped that forcefield tightly around Eve. This action stabilized Eve&#039;s energy and prevented its decay, allowing Alina to control it as a tool for her art. Alina appears, now fused with an Uwasa in a manner similar to [[Holy Mami]], and declares her intent to use Eve to create her ultimate masterpiece, disregarding the goal of Magical Girl liberation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, as this is taking place, [[Mikage Yakumo]], Mitama&#039;s younger sister, is approached by Kyubey when the Barrier disappears. After he explains Mitama&#039;s wish to her, Mikage makes a wish of her own to undo the effects of Mitama&#039;s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Chapter 2: Smiles and Fireworks]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Holy Alina]] asserts that humanity subconsciously desires destruction and that she will use the Embryo Eve to fulfill this wish as her ultimate artwork. Kanagi confronts her own past desire to destroy the city due to its history of conflict but ultimately rejects Alina&#039;s path as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 nemu uwasa.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu, as the creator of Alina&#039;s Uwasa, takes responsibility. She uses the last of her life force to summon every Uwasa recorded in her book to attack Alina directly. The attack defeats Alina, making her disappear, but Nemu collapses, severely weakened and unable to move her legs, so White Feathers evacuate her to safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 eve user1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Embryo Eve, now uncontrolled, begins to rampage and targets Ui, attempting to reabsorb her. Lil&#039; Kyubey implies a solution: it will take Ui&#039;s place within Eve. Touka realizes that the small Kyubey, which contains Ui&#039;s former soul and Kyubey&#039;s original functions, possesses similar attributes to Eve. It is also incapable of becoming a Witch. Lil&#039; Kyubey merges with the Embryo Eve, causing it to release all orbs of light from its body, lading in different parts of Kamihama. The small Kyubey thus becomes the core of the &amp;quot;Automatic Purification System&amp;quot; that Touka, Ui, and Nemu originally envisioned, preventing Magical Girls from becoming Witches within Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival, the combined forces of Magical Girls, including the various teams from Kamihama and the team from Mitakihara, are on the verge of defeat. Homura and the others exhaust their weapons and energy in a desperate attempt to defeat it. They are exhausted, out of Grief Seeds, many are incapacitated, and despite their injuries and depleted resources, the girls refuse to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Last Magia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Walpurgisnacht prepares a massive attack that seems certain to annihilate them, an unknown, benevolent force envelops the Magical Girls. Iroha hears a mysterious voice and sees white feathers raining down, an experience shared by everyone on the battlefield. They all experience a sudden surge of energy and a feeling of being urged forward. This voice is from the Law of Cycles, who had been watching the timeline but not interfering with it. The feathers rejuvenate the group, lifting their spirits and empowering them to continue fighting; their strength is restored, and even the injured find themselves able to fight again. With morale returned, they rally together for one final, united assault, redirecting Walpurgisnacht to Kaihin Park using a coordinated strategy with their unique magical abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined forces of Magical Girls coordinate their unique magics to combat Walpurgisnacht: &lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Natsuki Utsuho initiate the counterattack by using their Encouragement and Cheering magic to boost the morale and power of all allies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seizing this surge of energy, the team implements a complex strategy to control the battlefield. First, Felicia, Meiyui Chun, and Rika Ayano use their Memory Erasure, Persuasion, and Mind-Altering magic to disorient Walpurgisnacht and force it to change course toward the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** To precisely guide the Witch to the intended battleground, Tsuruno, Riko Chiaki, and Emiri Kisaki then use their Good Luck, Luring, and Charm magic, successfully leading Walpurgisnacht to the beachfront park while evading its attacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Once there, the focus shifts to immobilizing the colossal foe. Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Asuka Tatsuki use their Flute Blossom Resonance and Action Control magic in an attempt to halt Walpurgisnacht&#039;s movement entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When it retaliates, Himika Mao diverts its attacks, creating an opening for Kanagi Izumi, who, with a power boost from Mitama&#039;s Coordination, attacks it directly to stun it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** This creates the crucial opening for a full restraint, and Mami, Kanoko Yayoi, and Kaede use Ribbon Binding, Stitching, and Plant magic to ensnare the Witch, which Rena amplified by using her Transformation magic to transform into Kaede and double the restraining power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Walpurgisnacht finally immobilized, Nanaka organizes their forces while Hazuki Yusa and Akira Shinobu identify its weak point with their magic, a gear connected to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire group then launch a coordinated, all-out assault, with offensive magics like Hinano Miyako&#039;s Chemical Explosions leading the charge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout the final attack, Kokoro Awane, Ayame Mikuri, and Konoha Shizumi provide vital defense with their Wall Creation, Safeguarding, and Fog Generation magic, protecting the assault team and ensuring their united strike could land.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Realizing their combined assault was not enough to deliver a final blow, the Magical Girls regroup and to ensure they could act as one perfect unit, Reira Ibuki uses her Purifying Flame to heal their wounds and replenish their energy, while Mito Aino uses her Heart-Linking magic to synchronize their hearts and minds, allowing their resolve to become perfectly aligned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With their spirits united, they form a new strategy and Konomi Haruna uses her magic to force their Fighting Spirit to Bloom, amplifying their collective potential, while Kako Natsume uses her Event Reproduction magic to reinforce the gathered energy, and Ren Isuzu enacts her Nirvana magic to ensure the attack would bring permanent rest to the Witch if successful.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The plan to create a final weapon then commences. Ui uses her Harvest magic to gather the hope and magical energy from every single Magical Girl on the battlefield. She passes this immense energy to Touka, who used her Conversion magic to condense it all into a single, concentrated mass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* This mass of collective hope is then entrusted to Yachiyo, whose unique magic of Inheritance allows her to embody and control the power. She and Iroha shape this energy into a gigantic, radiant arrow aimed at the weak point that had been identified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they prepared to fire, Walpurgisnacht launches an attack to free itself from their binds. In that moment, Homura activates her Time-Stop, and touches Iroha, allowing her to move within the suspended time and take aim unimpeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the path clear, Iroha releases the arrow and strikes the central gear with overwhelming force. As time resumed, the arrow consumed Walpurgisnacht in a brilliant explosion, finally ending the calamity and clearing the sky over Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102005 magicalgirl3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura reflects that she has finally surpassed this battle after countless timelines, and Madoka expresses relief that no more people will suffer from Walpurgisnacht. The girls in Kamihama also celebrate their hard-earned victory, despite the fact that many are injured and exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Epilogue==&lt;br /&gt;
* Some days after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, Iroha and Ui see their parents off at the airport as they leave for their overseas assignment. Iroha and Ui then return to Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama City, where Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana welcome them back. Mifuyu is also present, as Iroha was able to use her magic to repair Mifuyu&#039;s damaged Soul Gem, allowing her to recover. Later that day, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Kanagi, and Mitama visit Mikazuki Villa as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, [[Ultimate Madoka]], a being who identifies as a record-keeper of all universes reflects on the new timeline centered on Kamihama. She states she intervened one last time by sending a &amp;quot;rain of feathers&amp;quot; to empower the Magical Girls but will now only observe, fearing further direct interference could damage this fragile new reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu organize a meeting for all Magical Girls involved in the recent conflict to discuss the actions of the Wings of the Magius and the future fate of all Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu visit the Eternal Sakura. The Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura congratulates them on finally being together as friends and Nemu, who now uses a wheelchair, accepts her condition as a consequence of her past actions. Iroha briefly wonders about the whereabouts of the small Kyubey that once accompanied her, and then meet Lil&#039; Kyubey in the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After some days, Homura reflects on their victory. Despite saving Madoka and defeating Walpurgisnacht, she feels uncertain. The fundamental curse of Magical Girls becoming Witches remains, and she questions if this timeline is truly the best outcome. At school, Mami informs the group about recent disappearances and people getting lost, which they attribute to a new Witch. They devise a plan to track it by mapping the incidents. Kyoko arrives from Kazamino, also hunting the same Witch, and a tense alliance forms.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: The Place We Finally Reached]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group splits into teams to search the area Mami identified. Madoka notices Homura&#039;s preoccupation and reassures her. The teams locate the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and coordinate their attack. During the battle, Homura fears for her friends&#039; safety, but they work together effectively. Kyoko and Sayaka create an opening for Mami and Madoka to deliver the final blow, while Homura evacuates the Witch-Kissed civilians.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Kyoko gives the Grief Seed to Mami and Sayaka declares she has no regrets about becoming a Magical Girl, valuing the power to protect and the friends she has made. This prompts Mami to reconcile with Kyoko, asking to be true friends who help each other when needed again, to which Kyoko agrees. Madoka then states she is also glad she became a Magical Girl, expressing faith in the future because of her friends. This resolve causes Homura to weep with joy, finally believing this timeline, where they face their fate together, could be the one she sought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group, including Kyoko, shares a meal at a pancake restaurant. They discuss an upcoming meeting in Kamihama to address the Magius&#039; actions. While Kyoko opts not to attend, the others plan to update her later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 04 00 0042 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One Saturday, Mami volunteers to help clean the damage done by the Magius incident and Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura go along as well. During it, a Witch attacks and a Magical Girl they were helping unleashes a Doppel. They defeat the Witch and the girl falls unconscious, so Mami takes her to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After stabilizing her, Mami asks Mitama to help her face her own Doppel and she guides Mami to look within. Mami meets her Doppel and it tries to convince her to forget the past, yet Mami refuses and proclaims that she accepts the Doppel as part of herself. Mami then wakes up, thanking everyone and says they will build the future together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cherry Blossom Dreams===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, the Eternal Sakura completed her duties as an Uwasa when her tree came into full bloom. Her Rumor was rewritten and she was connected to Touka&#039;s server, reborn as an Uwasa with ample knowledge who would later be named Sakurako. Around this time, Yachiyo received a message asking what should be done about the six ringleaders of the Magius—Touka Satomi, Nemu Hiiragi, Mifuyu Azusa, Mitama Yakumo, Tsukuyo Amane, and Tsukasa Amane. Nemu proposed rewriting the Eternal Sakura to serve as an impartial judge. They designed three trials: the first to analyze crimes and calculate a verdict, the second to survey all Magical Girls, and the third to reach a final decision based on responses. Punishments ranged from monitoring to destruction of the Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the first trial, Sakurako sentenced Touka and Nemu to the maximum penalty. Mifuyu received power revocation, reduced from maximum due to testimony that she helped destroy Fendt Hope. Mitama received conditional power revocation, allowed to transform only for Coordinator work. The Amane sisters received power restriction. After the trial, Touka and Nemu remained calm, thanking everyone. Yachiyo noted they had intentionally omitted their ages from consideration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Nemu and Sakurako wait at a train station with others. Nearby girls whisper about Nemu, recognizing her as one of the Magius and questioning why she faces no punishment. Ui argues with Iroha about using the Stardust Time Viewer, while Touka pushes through the crowd, disheveled from navigating the train alone. The three girls reunite, each feeling it is a dream. Touka sends Ui a photo of the map they created together in the hospital. The group travels to the mall, where Ui finally visits the croquette shop she always wanted to try, and they share plates to taste each other&#039;s orders. From there, they take a rickshaw to Mizuna Shrine, where they briefly encounter Tsukuyo and Tsukasa, who quickly hurry away. The group buys prayer plaques, though most hesitate at the cost until a shrine attendant suggests writing prayers on the back of their fortunes instead. Iroha wishes for all Magical Girls to get along, while Touka and Nemu write their own wishes. They argue over where to go next—Touka wants a lookout point in Hokuyo Ward, but Ui resists rushing. Sakurako suggests they also face reality, so they head to Central Ward, still scarred from Walpurgisnacht and Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui admits she used the library as an excuse to bring them here, hoping the Stardust Time Viewer would show them a hopeful future. Nemu summons the Rumor, transporting them to a star-filled space. The Viewer shows Iroha&#039;s future: a world where the Doppel system has expanded globally and all Magical Girls coexist peacefully. Iroha feels embarrassed, but Sakurako assures her the wish is beautiful. When Ui asks to see her own future, the Viewer has nothing to show. Ui realizes this means Touka and Nemu are absent from Iroha&#039;s future and accuses them of planning to die. The vision fades, returning them to the rubble of Central Ward. Touka and Nemu admit they believe they should die for their crimes, pointing to the destruction around them, the Feathers they manipulated, and the innocent people hurt. Sakurako confirms she knew this all along. Ui slaps them both, demanding they consider how she feels. Nemu explains they wanted to do what they could while they still had time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second trial begins. No surveys have arrived. Sakurako agrees to wait one hour. Yachiyo and others leave to retrieve them. Mifuyu confronts Touka and Nemu, asking if they sabotaged the surveys. They admit they did, altering the date so the surveys would not arrive in time. They wanted to be judged and sentenced to death to spare Ui from the hatred directed at them. Ui refuses to accept this. She and Iroha transform to protect them. The hour ends and Sakurako moves to deliver punishment. Iroha and Ui hold her back as Mifuyu and Mitama join the defense. The Amane sisters attack Sakurako with their flutes, accepting heavier sentences. Iroha realizes they can use photos of the surveys as evidence. Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s phones begin chiming with images from Yachiyo and the others. Iroha begs Sakurako to accept the evidence. Sakurako confirms the surveys are real and delays the trial, requiring them to arrive by day&#039;s end. The surveys show Magical Girls believe Touka and Nemu should be punished, but not killed. Some suggest atonement, rehabilitation, or mentorship. Reading the responses, Touka and Nemu weep, but Ui weeps with joy. Based on the surveys, sentences are reduced. Touka and Nemu receive monitoring with transformation-prevention bracelets, while Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s sentences are reduced to monitoring. The Amane sisters are found not guilty and Feathers who revealed themselves have their cases dismissed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the group gathers. Touka and Nemu wear their bracelets. Sakurako serves drinks. Mifuyu asks about tutoring Touka in exchange for help with pharmacy school. Nemu will rely on Sakurako for mobility on difficult days. Tsuruno suggests welcoming them as the Brains of Kamihama. In the kitchen, Sakurako hugs Touka and Nemu, then Iroha and Ui. She tells them she loves them. The days she always dreamed of have arrived. The real spring can finally begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocolatier in Mirror Country===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro, Masara, Konomi, Asuka and Sasara gather at Manaka&#039;s place to plan their charity bazaar booth. Kokoro and Masara participate to help Himika&#039;s family without making it obvious, while Asuka and Sasara join to invite a lonely girl named Chi whose father died. Konomi&#039;s booth was invited directly due to her popular Valentine&#039;s bouquets. They agree on a collaboration between Walnuts and Blossom the florist, dividing tasks among themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Warming Valentine]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Manaka&#039;s father&#039;s help, Kokoro and Masara make bear-shaped chocolates. Asuka recruits dojo volunteers, Sasara invites Chi and designs leaflets, and Konomi prepares bouquets with Izayoi&#039;s help decorating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the bazaar, adults receive bouquets with donation and children get free chocolates. Chi and her mother visit happily. Himika initially refuses chocolate but accepts after realizing her siblings want it, and they enjoy the day together. The event succeeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later at a celebration party, Sasara and Kokoro feel their efforts changed nothing. Masara scolds them for impatience, explaining kindness takes time. Kanagi and Asuka arrive with good news that Himika&#039;s family is making White Day gifts, and Chi&#039;s mother now calls daily. Relieved, they enjoy the party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Valentine&#039;s Day, girls give chocolates to loved ones. Sasara gives to her father, Asuka to her cousin, and Konomi to her aunt. Masara and Kokoro exchange chocolates at their favorite spot, and Kokoro tearfully reconciles with her parents. Elsewhere, Rena and Tsukuyo each struggle to give chocolates to Kaede and Tsukasa. Following a rumor, they separately pray at a radio tower, accidentally encounter each other, and successfully give their chocolates when Kaede and Tsukasa also arrive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, in Mitakihara, Nagisa bakes a chocolate cake with Mami while feeling that something is wrong, as her memories feel hazy and she seems more childish than she should be. She realizes her memories of being longtime friends with Mami are false, yet she recognizes that the warmth she feels is what she has always wanted. When they finish the cake, a Witch that looks like a younger version of Nagisa steals it, and they chase it into a mirror, finding themselves in a transformed version of the Mirror Witch&#039;s Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Chocolatier in Mirror Country]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They encounter Madoka and Homura trapped in a time loop illusion, free them, and learn that Sayaka and Kyoko went ahead and are now missing. They find Sayaka and Kyoko trapped in a competition for a magical cake, so Mami and Nagisa enter and win by choosing a song they both know well. Using the cake&#039;s wishes, they reunite the group and defeat the attacking Witch. Nagisa realizes she has two sets of memories and deduces the chocolate-loving Witch is an alternate version of herself who wished for chocolate cake instead of cheesecake. This Witch has been consuming the Labyrinth&#039;s power and attracting Witches from parallel worlds through mirror gates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The little Witch steals the cake again, and during the chase, Nagisa and Mami become separated in a dark fog. A poem warns them not to open their eyes or they will lose each other, but Nagisa&#039;s self-doubt overwhelms her. Remembering losing her mother and everyone else, she convinces herself Mami is not really there, opens her eyes, and is consumed by the Witch. The group fights through countless gates to find her and engages the master Witch. Inside, Mami finds Nagisa, hugs her tightly, and promises they will always be friends because of the future they will share, not false memories. Nagisa finally believes her, and the cake is returned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group realizes that even with the master Witch defeated, other Witches have taken its place, so they must clear them all to restore the Labyrinth. They commit to finishing the job together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Labyrinth is cleared, they gather at Mami&#039;s apartment for a chocolate party where Nagisa officially gives Mami the cake. They play poker with chocolate coins to decide how to share the remaining half, and Mami wins, but she divides the cake equally among all six. Everyone agrees it is the best cake in the universe. Nagisa thanks Mami, and Mami welcomes her warmly, calling her a little chocolatier and a lovely new addition to their circle of friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Kamihama, that night, Tsukuyo finds Rena praying at the Chuo Ward radio tower, having both read an online article claiming that twenty minutes of prayer there ensures successful apologies to loved ones. Tsukuyo confesses she hurt her twin sister Tsukasa by rejecting their Valentine&#039;s plans after failing at homemade chocolate, while Rena admits she snapped at Kaede and claimed she had no chocolate for her after Kaede had given her some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The 14th Day Where I Can&#039;t Be Honest]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their conversation is interrupted when Tsukasa and Kaede suddenly appear, having anticipated their partners would come here to apologize. Tsukasa assures Tsukuyo she was not upset and would treasure any chocolate from her, urging her to be easier on herself. Kaede forgives Rena and asks simply for her to be more honest. Together, the two pairs exchange Valentine&#039;s wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany===&lt;br /&gt;
* Walpurgisnacht&#039;s attack on Kamihama City caused massive damage to Chuo Ward, which the public believes was a natural disaster. Only Magical Girls know the truth and privately, Mitama reflects that the victory gave her hope, but she wonders if the destruction she once wished for can be defied.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Several days after Walpurgisnacht, Mitama realizes Doyle has not visited her shop and the last saw him the day before Walpurgisnacht. She assumes the storm made him too scared to go out, so she decides to close her shop and search for him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama looks around the vacant land near her shop and a girl named Ritsumi offers to help. Ritsumi’s cat Arthur ran away before, so she knows where cats hide. They search but find nothing and Ritsumi says Arthur now lives with her grandpa. Mitama realizes Ritsumi is the daughter of the neighbor who owns Arthur and Mitama had mistaken Arthur for Doyle and that Ritsumi has never actually seen Doyle. They end the day without clues and Mitama sends a message to the Magical Girls’ group chat asking if anyone has seen a white tabby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama knocks on the neighbor’s door and Ritsumi’s mother answers. She explains that Arthur was sent away two weeks ago to Ritsumi’s grandpa. Mitama realizes that no one knows where Doyle came from. Ritsumi’s mother promises to keep an eye out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana, Asuka, and others from Mizuna Girls’ Academy saw Mitama’s group chat post and they arrive to help. More volunteers soon arrive: Kaede, Kako, Rena, Konoha’s team, and others. They split up to cover Shinsei Ward and Mitama notes that no one else has ever seen Doyle. Konoha says she never saw a cat at Mitama’s shop. Rena also asks for a photo, but Mitama has none.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds Ritsumi near the bus stop and they search door to door. No one in the neighborhood has seen a white tabby kitten either. Ritsumi says she has read all “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” books and that her favorite is “Invisible Epiphany,” about a detective searching for a lost child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko meets Mitama alone. Momoko says she never saw Doyle and neither did Tsukasa or the other girls. Mitama remembers talking to Doyle in front of them, but they saw no cat ither. Momoko suggests a Rumor is involved, as all Rumors disappeared after the fight with the Magius, except the Eternal Sakura. Coincidentally, Doyle disappeared at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls Nemu, who is still in the hospital and Nemu explains that Doyle was part of the Rumor of the Cat Detective. The Rumor possesses detective novel lovers, detects signs of a case, gets the detective involved, and guarantees a solution. Nemu explains she erased almost all Rumors, including this one. Mitama thinks Doyle disappeared because the Rumor was destroyed and she had solved four cases with Doyle’s help, yet the fifth never began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama re-reads her case files and each one has an opening paragraph she does not remember writing. The first case file hints at Hanna Sarasa. The second hints at Tsukasa. The third and fourth also name the culprits. Mitama realizes Doyle left those hints, and Nemu says the Rumor did not cause incidents, only detected them, so those incidents would have happened anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0009 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Kamihama slowly returns to order. Mitama notes that she cannot rely on Doyle anymore and she hopes she does not get any new cases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui and the Eternal Sakura visit Mitama to deliver a lampshade from Yachiyo. Ui says a girl from her school has gone missing and Mitama is shocked to learn the girl is Ritsumi, who did not come home after school yesterday and the police are investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama goes to the bus stop near her shop and finds Ritsumi’s mother. The mother says Ritsumi likely went to Hokuyo Ward to see her grandpa and Arthur. Ritsumi’s parents are separated and her father lives with his parents in Hokuyo Ward. The mother believes Ritsumi wanted to visit them, but the bus route to Hokuyo was suspended after the disaster but has resumed, bypassing Chuo Ward. Soon, Himika calls Mitama. Himika saw a girl matching Ritsumi’s description waiting at the Shinsei Ward bus stop yesterday, reading a book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi arrive and Momoko explains she has been investigating at school. Ritsumi transferred to Kamihama University Affiliated School six months ago after her parents separated and she moved into the building next to Mitama’s shop. Momoko explains Arthur went to live with her father in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo Ward. Mitama realizes the conflicting information: Arthur was first in Chuo Ward, then evacuated to the grandpa’s house in Hokuyo after the disaster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Satomi Medical Center, Nemu discusses the case with Eternal Sakura. Nemu recalls the hidden hints in Mitama’s case files. The last words of each hint spell “Lost Through Time Eternal,” which is the title of volume 12 of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” In that story, a girl runs away to her old home. Nemu deduces that Ritsumi went to her old apartment in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo. She likely got off at the nearest bus stop and walked into the restricted zone, then she had an accident.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Momoko, and Kanagi search the area near the old apartment and they hear a voice. Ritsumi had fallen into an old underground passage and sprained her ankle. She lost track of time and had no phone. Mitama explains she remembered the Doyle book and Ritsumi admits she was copying the girl in the story as she wanted to see the area where she grew up. The three quickly rescue her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ritsumi is taken to a hospital and also discharged quickly. Her parents agree to let her visit both of them and Arthur whenever she likes. Mitama reflects that Doyle gave her confidence and the city she cursed is still standing, so she dares to believe in hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Momoko finally holds the Coordinator Thank-You Party that was postponed earlier and Rena and Kaede thank Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui reads &amp;quot;The Happy Prince&amp;quot; and reflects on her uncertain purpose as a Magical Girl. While walking, she stops Kyubey from contracting a girl outside Kamihama, explaining she cannot let anyone else suffer the fate of becoming a Witch. When Kyubey asks what he should do instead, she has no answer. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia tells Ui she is overthinking things and should focus on her upcoming combat test. Iroha and Yachiyo serve dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno gives Ui an enthusiastic pep talk for her live combat test. To remain in Kamihama, Ui must detect and eliminate a Witch alone—the same test Yachiyo gave Iroha when she first arrived. Yachiyo admits the test may be unfair and offers to let Ui choose a partner. With Iroha busy helping Kanagi, Ui chooses Momoko. They depart together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui struggles to sense the Witch&#039;s magic, so they search Mizuna Ward where young women gather. They encounter a Familiar and follow it to a Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After defeating it, Felicia suddenly appears, attacks them, and runs away. Tsuruno gives chase and tackles her. Felicia&#039;s oblivion magic has erased their memory of the Familiar&#039;s pattern, so they cannot track the Witch. Momoko requests a pause, but Yachiyo refuses, stating unexpected events happen in real combat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia admits she interfered because she is jealous that Ui receives everyone&#039;s attention while she struggled alone as a mercenary. Yachiyo explains that Felicia&#039;s past does not justify making others unhappy. Meanwhile, Ui cheers up after eating crepes with Momoko and resolves to continue. As sunset approaches, they search Sakae Ward but find nothing. Yachiyo offers to bring a Familiar for them to retrack, but it disappears before they arrive. Ui suggests checking Hokuyo Ward on a hunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Hokuyo Ward, Ui senses a different Witch&#039;s magical reaction. They follow Witch-kissed people up a mountain toward a labyrinth. At Yachiyo&#039;s house, the others realize Ui failed the test since Yachiyo had to eliminate the original Witch herself, though Yachiyo will allow a retake. They notice Felicia smiling and suspect she interfered again. Rena confesses she helped Felicia erase the hint because she understood Felicia&#039;s jealousy. Tsuruno says the only person who deserves an apology is Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the mountain, Ui and Momoko enter the Witch&#039;s barrier against Momoko&#039;s better judgment. They fight through Familiars but become trapped and cannot escape. The Witch overwhelms them. Yachiyo and the others arrive and join the fight, but Familiars overwhelm them too. Iroha arrives at the last moment to defend Ui. Ui proposes using her ability to harvest impurities, purifying everyone&#039;s Soul Gems so they can fight at full strength. She will temporarily become a Witch, but the Doppel system will contain it. She absorbs the impurities, and the others destroy the Witch while Ui struggles with the darkness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui unleashes her Doppel and meets her Doppel self, who accuses her of wanting punishment and being jealous of others while trapped in the hospital. Ui nearly agrees to let the Doppel consume her but refuses, recognizing it as the easy way out. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words about taking responsibility and confronting the situation honestly. She accepts her wrongs and her true feelings, realizing this difficult path will bring true happiness. The Doppel admits she is right. Iroha wakes Ui at Mitama&#039;s clinic, where she has been unconscious for some time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama checks on Ui after her first Doppel release. Felicia apologizes for her interference and says she thinks Ui is cool. Rena also apologizes for helping Felicia. Ui accepts their apologies and compliments them both, asking Felicia to teach her things. Rena and Felicia feel terrible for how they treated someone so kind. Later that evening at Yachiyo&#039;s house, everyone celebrates Ui passing her test—though she did not defeat the assigned Witch, she tracked a Witch, stayed calm, used her intelligence, and performed better than expected. Ui tells Iroha she now knows what she wants to do as a Magical Girl. Iroha decides to work with other Kamihama Magical Girls to find a way to free them all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui and Iroha encounter Kyubey outside Kamihama attempting another contract and stop him. Kyubey asks what their goal is. They explain they plan to fight and find a way to coexist with Kyubey—if they can expand Kamihama&#039;s miracle globally, Magical Girls can live happily while providing the energy Kyubey needs. Kyubey welcomes the idea if it avoids conflict but warns that Magical Girls worldwide are not as unified as those in Kamihama. Ui wonders how much happiness she can give to the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tart / Darc Magica===&lt;br /&gt;
* Through Minou&#039;s spell from 15th-century France, Ui is pulled into the past, with her phone acting as her Soul Gem and Blank Prophecy, with the power to restore the past&#039;s real history.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rebel of a Dawnless Land]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning from the past, Ui finds herself in an antique store, still surrounded by magic bubbles though no memory of what occured. On the floor are the two candles and the old book. She feels they are important but cannot remember why, so she puts them on store shelves before falling asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui wakes up at Mikazuki Villa. Her phone rings with a text of Nemu asking if she knows any charms, as Mitama has been really into them lately. Ui says she knows a charm for good dreams requiring red and blue candles. Nemu asks where she heard about it and Ui isn&#039;t sure but says it was in 15th-century France. Nemu is fascinated and promises to research it. Later, Ui scrolls through her phone and finds a photo she doesn&#039;t recognize with girls she doesn&#039;t know. She begins crying without understanding why and Iroha finds her and hugs her tightly. Suddenly Ui remembers Darc&#039;s final words. She turns to her sister and tells her, &amp;quot;Let&#039;s have a wonderful future together.&amp;quot; Iroha agrees. Ui calms down and heads home to prepare for a slumber party with Nemu and Touka. Iroha, running errands, decides to stop by Mitama&#039;s place afterward. Mitama greets her warmly, mentioning she just learned an interesting little charm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That day, Iroha visits Mitama, who gives her and Yachiyo antique candles for a sweet dream spell. That night, they light the candles and drift off to sleep together, where they&#039;re pulled into the nightmare of Jeanne d&#039;Arc in April 29th, 1429.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Maiden of Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next morning, Yachiyo reveals she had the same dream. They call Mitama, who is surprised they had nightmares instead of sweet dreams. They decide to try the candles again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Kamihama plunged into darkness and all non-Magical Girls vanished. Their Soul Gems have consumed magic in the real world despite no injuries. Realizing the dream affects reality, they decide to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a lot of fighting, they awaken and prepare for the final battle. In this journey they discover that they&#039;d been traveling to Darc&#039;s dream, and if Darc despairs completely, she will turn into a Witch and trigger a catastrophe affecting the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Felicia and Sana gone and Kamihama empty. Breaking into Mitama&#039;s shop, they find a grimoire revealing the candles were made with Darc&#039;s hair, creating a connection to her dream. They return with the book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They finally awaken at Mikazuki Villa to sunshine and normalcy. Felicia demands steak for dinner. Consulting a history book, they read that on May 7th, 1429, Jeanne d&#039;Arc fought at Tourelles after waking from a dream. The battle was fierce but Orléans was liberated. Iroha notices a portrait in the book showing them in their Magical Girl outfits standing beside Jeanne d&#039;Arc.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at Mitama&#039;s shop, Yachiyo recounts everything. Mitama mentions the spell became widespread in France during Jeanne d&#039;Arc&#039;s era. Iroha realizes Melissa must have spread it after learning it from them in the dream. The use of red and blue candles was too specific to be coincidence. Iroha&#039;s head spins trying to figure out where the spell originated. Yachiyo notes the grimoire never mentioned the candle setup, so the spell just circled around and around. They will never know for certain whether they changed history or were always part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* During their slumber party, Ui, Touka, and Nemu encounter a massive witch, [[Crépuscule de La Reine]]. Touka and Nemu vanish, leaving Ui and Sakurako to face it alone. The witch is unaffected by their attacks and disappears, taking Ui with it into 15th-century France once more, this time in the realm of Purgatory which Minou created. With Pernelle&#039;s help, Ui is soon able to also summon Iroha and Yachiyo there as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;endofalegendthelimitsoflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - End of a Legend, the Limits of Light]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha, Yachiyo, Ui, and Sakurako pass through the gates and return to their future, reuniting with Touka and Nemu as their memories fade.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;endofalegendthelimitsoflight&#039;/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Lil&#039; Kyubey and Ui&#039;s phone as the Blank Prophecy are pulled as &amp;quot;If Factors&amp;quot; into the world of Holy Maiden Academy, which Minou created and maintained for six hundred years after being given a Philosopher&#039;s Stone after Isabeau&#039;s death. However, after her plans are thwarted by the &amp;quot;what if&amp;quot; version of Melissa, he returns and wakes in the real world, where Iroha and Ui assure him it was just a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;counc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Masked Student Council Strikes Back]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Voices from Beyond, Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a year after Voices from Beyond, Part 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With peace restored in Kamihama, Yachiyo visits a flower shop to buy flowers for Mel&#039;s grave, still haunted by never defeating Mel&#039;s Witch. She unexpectedly encounters Mifuyu and Mel&#039;s mother, who reassures them Mel was happy because of their love. Walking toward the cemetery, Yachiyo and Mifuyu are engulfed by the barrier of the Witch Etteilla—Mel&#039;s Witch. They struggle against both the Witch and their own fears: Mifuyu fears defeating it means forgetting Mel, while Yachiyo fears losing anyone else. Remembering the ghosts&#039; encouragement, Yachiyo convinces Mifuyu they must move forward because Mel and Kanae wanted them to. They defeat the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mel&#039;s grave, they place flowers and the Grief Seed from the Witch, hoping her soul has finally found peace. They silently promise to keep moving forward. Mifuyu wonders if Mel&#039;s Witch appeared to give them a push, and they smile, repeating Mel&#039;s favorite phrase: all things happen when they must. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to see the belongings Mel and Kanae left behind, and Mifuyu gladly accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One weekend, Rui ropes Seira into attending Kamiket, a convention for sharing and selling fan-made media in Kamihama. The two became close friends after discovering they are both Magical Girls, and because Seira is the only one who knows about Rui&#039;s embarrassing secret: a heavy case of chuuni-byo. Rui agreed to bring Seira on the condition that only the two of them would go, ensuring nobody else discovered her secret.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the day of the convention, Rui cannot contain her excitement and slips into character, declaring the convention her sanctuary and the catalog guidebook as Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Her main objective is to purchase the newest installment of her favorite indie game series and meet its creator, MacQueen. On the way to the booth, she accidentally bumps into a stranger who seems irritated about someone not being at the convention yet. When she arrives, the booth attendants inform her that someone has been using counterfeit money, and worse, MacQueen himself is missing. Rui&#039;s imagination immediately conjures a grand conspiracy, but the criminal is soon caught and MacQueen calls to say he overslept. Relieved, Rui takes a photo with the booth girls, but as the picture is taken, chills run down her spine as she senses someone glaring at her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rui dismisses it as her imagination and continues exploring with Seira. Remembering the booth numbers hit by counterfeit money, she realizes they spell the chemical formula for Ricin, a lethal poison. Her imagination ignites again, convincing her that the real attack will come through poisoned food from outside vendors. She rushes them outside to stop the attack, but everyone seems fine, and her Magical Girl ability, which lets her see how close someone is to death, reveals nobody is in danger. Ashamed, she realizes her imagination finally got the best of her and apologizes to Seira. They decide to get lunch, and Rui opens her laptop to install her new game. The screen is black, and in the reflection she sees her own face. Her magic reveals she herself is now close to death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Remembering the chills from earlier, Rui checks the photo and finds the man from earlier glaring at her in the background. She rushes back to the booth to warn the girls, who recognize the man as Miranda, a popular content creator. As they discuss this, MacQueen finally arrives, and Rui sees he is the closest to death&#039;s door, with Miranda also marked. She confronts Miranda, who confesses he intended to kill MacQueen over an alternate ending in the latest game that suggested his favorite sub-heroine may have had a former lover. He pulls out a gun he secretly printed with a smuggled 3D printer. Just as he is about to shoot, Rui shows him a cutscene on her laptop, which is the second part of the alternate ending, unlocked only after clearing the entire game, revealing the sub-heroine fabricated the story to protect the user character. Miranda realizes his mistake and surrenders to security. After the incident, Seira asks if Rui was scared. Rui reveals she always wears chainmail under her clothes and also carried a heavy blunt object for protection, the magically enhanced Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Seira decides to pretend she did not hear that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 11:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura writes in her diary as she and her friends take an air-conditioned express train to the beach for summer vacation. They buy ice cream and enjoy the ride.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Beachside Bonds]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls arrive at their destination, a seaside inn run by Sayaka&#039;s relatives who had a sudden cancellation. Sayaka complains about the heat as they walk to the inn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Sayaka&#039;s aunt shows them to their rooms and warns them not to get lost in the surrounding forest. Outside, two young girls who live at the inn approach Madoka. They ask if she knows someone named Kei, who is looking for someone named Yu. They warn Madoka not to talk to Kei and that she should hold still if Kei enters her room. The girls then leave. Homura suggests Kei might be a cat. They agree to tell the others as Kyoko passes by already in her swimsuit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, the girls play volleyball. Mami spikes the ball hard and hits Homura in the face. They stop the game and Mami frets over Homura. Madoka suggests they rest in the shade while Mami buys something cold. Madoka then suggests they collect pine cones from nearby trees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the forest, a cat appears and leads them deeper into the trees. It guides them to a small shrine, where Homura finds an old notebook. She reads entries from April 20, June 24, August 3, and August 6, all detailing the author&#039;s complicated feelings for someone named Kei. Madoka tells her to put it back without reading further. When they turn around, the cat is gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the beach, Sayaka shares a rumor from the beach house: a girl fell off a nearby cliff years ago and died, and her spirit is reportedly seen rising from the ocean between two and three a.m. Mami shrieks in fear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Kyoko teases Mami about being scared. The conversation turns to ghosts and Kyoko compares them to how normal people might perceive Witches. Madoka feels relieved and tells Sayaka about the twin girls. Sayaka plans to ask them about any pets later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After an Italian dinner, the girls light fireworks on the beach. Kyoko bumps into Hinano Miyako, who doesn&#039;t recognize her but does recognize her Soul Gem ring. Ren Isuzu finds Hinano, followed by Emiri Kisaki and Rika Ayano. The groups combine for fireworks. Emiri admits she used a little magic to help everyone relax, explaining why Kyoko had strange memories of Mami. Kyoko chases Sayaka around the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Heading back to the inn, Sayaka finds her twin cousins lining up stones. They claim the stones protect against Kei entering. They say Kei would hate Sayaka the most because she is nosy, then leave. In her diary, Homura writes that the girls talked until they all fell asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 12&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura&#039;s diary entry describes a dream belonging to someone else. In the dream, the narrator waits for her friend Yusa Yumeno, who arrives with popsicles. The narrator complains that Yusa doesn&#039;t need to come every day, but Yusa insists she can only be her real self around her friend. The narrator believes identity is shaped by others&#039; perceptions. She reveals she may not take college exams due to family obligations and urges Yusa to attend her chosen school, comparing herself to a weed and Yusa to a flower growing in a different direction. The narrator comes home to another hateful letter from classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes in a cold sweat, unable to move. The room smells strongly of seaweed. She sees a pitch-black human shadow sitting between Mami and Sayaka&#039;s futons. It examines their faces, grumbling &amp;quot;wrong, wrong, all wrong.&amp;quot; As it moves toward Madoka, Homura struggles to move. The shadow stops and stares at her, asking &amp;quot;You can see me?&amp;quot; Homura screams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others wake. Sayaka notices the strange smell. Kyoko goes back to sleep. Mami offers water and Homura asks if someone entered the room. They saw no one. Sayaka apologizes for the scary stories. Mami suggests thinking about tomorrow&#039;s fun. Madoka offers to hold Homura&#039;s hand, which she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes early, the ocean scent still strong. She finds the twin girls outside. They ask if she met Kei. Homura asks what Kei is. The girls explain Kei looks like a human made of shadow without facial features, smells of the sea, and emerges from the ocean at night to look for her friend Yu. They repeat that she should do nothing and never talk to her. They notice their protective stones scattered and go to reline them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura suspects this might be a Rumor. She returns to the forest shrine and finds the notebook on the shrine&#039;s lattice door, despite having placed it underneath. She reads entries from May 2, May 20, June 12, and June 26, all detailing the author Yu&#039;s complicated, obsessive feelings for Kei. She replaces the notebook, feeling guilty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Homura recalls more diary entries: July 2 describes Yu placing hands on Kei&#039;s neck as if to strangle her; July 5 compares Kei&#039;s neck to a lizard she killed; July 15 describes Kei now finding Yu after school; July 20 states they should never have met and that both wear bandages to hide bruises on their necks. Madoka points out a small bruise on Homura&#039;s neck.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls begin walking to an aquarium along the coast. Kyoko complains about the distance and suggests fishing instead. Sayaka refuses, traumatized by a recent fishing tournament incident in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the aquarium, they eat fish burgers, marvel at jellyfish, and watch a dolphin and seal show. They leave at sunset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls walk to a cape to watch the sunset. Sayaka warns them not to get too close to the edge, referencing the girl who died. Homura smells flowers and Mami identifies night-blooming jasmine nearby. The scent reminds Homura of her dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recalls another diary entry: August 1 describes Yu feeling happy hearing Kei&#039;s wish despite blaming herself; August 12 states their plan is set for tomorrow, with Yu hoping something will make Kei reconsider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the cape, Kyoko admits feeling down because a cape is the end of the road with nothing after. Mami says it&#039;s more important they could talk again like they used to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary about the difference between the self you know and the self others perceive. She asks Madoka what kind of person she thinks Homura is. Madoka calls her a dear friend who works hard. Homura worries that revealing her time-traveling truth would change this perception. After dinner, the girls settle in for sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 13:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura dreams again of Kei and Yu. Kei calls out that the promised day is here. She has dressed up and brought a ribbon to tie them together. Yu questions if this is right. Kei insists her life belongs only to Yu. They vow: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; They promise to kill each other for every reincarnation as proof of who they are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A voice calls Homura to wake. She awakens to find Madoka standing with eyes closed, enveloped in shadow. Madoka snaps her eyes open and proclaims repeatedly &amp;quot;I got in.&amp;quot; She calls out for Yu, saying the promised day is finally here. Madoka runs into the forest toward the cliff. Homura chases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the cape, everything grows dark. Madoka, possessed by Kei&#039;s spirit, tells Homura that the drowned Chinese girl&#039;s body washed up here and she is looking for her father&#039;s ship. Homura urges her to chase after the girl to escape, but Kei claims Homura will kill her as soon as they leave. Homura transforms and attempts to freeze time but finds her magic has no effect in this place where time does not flow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren&#039;s voice calls out. She informs Homura that the others are searching for them, but only Ren could traverse into this abyss. Ren suggests this might be similar to her own magic rather than a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kei admits she tried possessing Homura but could not, so she settled for Madoka. She explains she is a faint memory staining the cliffside. The drowned girl&#039;s spirit helped her recall all her memories clearly. She describes how she and Yu bound themselves together and jumped into the ocean, but the waves pulled them apart. Kei died; Yu survived. Kei wants to kill Yu so they can kill each other throughout eternity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura refuses to stay in the abyss with Madoka. Kei transforms Madoka into her magical girl state and attacks. Ren blocks the blow and tries to use her magic to draw out the possession. Homura calls out the vow Kei and Yu made, distracting Kei. Ren attempts her magic but the ghost of the drowned Chinese girl deflects it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren realizes the ghost girl is not a girl but the root cause: the Witch Paola. The barrier forms and Homura fights the Witch alone while Ren hurries to catch up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier dissipates and Homura faces the possessed Madoka on the cape. Kei accuses Homura of killing her. Homura tells her to shut up and leave their lives alone. Kei explains she will soon fade if Yu is not there. She begs Homura to kill Yu if she ever meets her, before her soul breaks and she becomes like the Witch. She begs Homura to keep this promise no matter where they meet or how many worlds Homura visits. Kei then relinquishes Madoka&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren arrives, relieved they are safe. Madoka wakes with no memory, thinking she simply tossed and turned. The other girls find them and celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary, describing the events as too strange to comprehend. She reflects on Kyubey&#039;s use of the term &amp;quot;soul&amp;quot; and questions what a soul truly is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka sighs that even on vacation they dealt with a Witch. Kyoko thinks she&#039;s getting rusty. Mami suggests Homura was right about a Witch mixing with a Rumor. Madoka telepathically tells them to quiet down since Homura is asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her final dream, Homura sees Yu wake in a hospital on an unknown date. Kei died. Their bruises were dismissed. Yu returned to school where others used her grief as their own. Unable to bear going on without Kei, she nearly threw herself off the cliff again. All she holds onto is their final words: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; But if the Yu that died that day is gone, who is the girl writing now? An image of Kyubey flashes on the screen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Deep in the dream, Homura recalls Kei&#039;s plea on the cliff. But Homura never agreed or promised anything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summer Treasures===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko wakes to find Mitama and Ui standing over her, learning they were washed ashore and rescue will arrive in two days. Mitama assigns tasks: shelter, bamboo, water, plants, and fishing. Before Kyoko leaves, Mitama asks her to transform, revealing she adjusted Kyoko&#039;s Soul Gem while she was unconscious to give her a Magical Girl swimsuit that allows her to swim. Mitama promises the transformation is reversible but looks forlorn, warning that if Kyoko does not have fun on the island, she might forget how to undo it. Kyoko reluctantly agrees to cooperate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer Treasures]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko discovers she can swim and catches plenty of fish. While gathering firewood, she finds a piece of wood with the words &amp;quot;water&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;bottom&amp;quot; written on it and tosses it onto the pile. Back at camp, Mitama and Karin show her a treasure map they found. Mitama has built a large shelter, and Karin started a fire using skills from a manga. Kyoko helps Kanagi and Ui carry supplies back from the stream. When Mitama offers to cook, Kyoko and Kanagi immediately stop her. Kyoko distracts Mitama with the treasure map and cooks dinner instead, with Ui&#039;s help. The group enjoys the meal together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 2 on the deserted island and Mitama decides they will go treasure hunting. The group examines the map and the wooden tablet Kyoko unknowingly gathered for firewood, which tells of a fallen warrior&#039;s treasure hidden on the island. They follow directions to a clearing but find nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui falls into a pitfall, and Karin follows. Kyoko pulls them out with a vine, and they discover another tablet at the bottom. Kyoko realizes the piece of wood she threw into the campfire was likely one of the tablets, but she keeps quiet, hoping to make the group give up without upsetting Mitama. Mitama triggers a trap and is caught hanging from a tree. The group frees her, but everyone wants to continue despite Kyoko&#039;s warnings. Kyoko claims they are being followed, hoping to blame the missing tablet on someone else, but the stalker turns out to be a tabby kitten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group reaches a damaged clue they cannot read. Mitama deduces the final location is the waterfall, but they find nothing. Mitama stares at Kyoko, suggesting the tablet might have been lost. Kyoko panics internally. She blasts part of the riverbed, revealing a hidden underwater path she remembered from the burned tablet&#039;s words. Kanagi scouts and reports a cave at the end. Karin and Ui stay behind while Kyoko, Mitama, and Kanagi swim through using guide vines.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the cave, they endure swarms of mosquitoes until Mitama drives them away. At the back, they find a treasure box. Kyoko opens it carefully. Inside is a letter revealing the treasure hunt was a promotional stunt for the Sayu-Sayu Mizuna Tourism Project, abandoned due to mosquitoes and safety concerns. They left a paper with Sayu-Sayu&#039;s sword designs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko hides the truth and leads the group to a cliff with a stunning sunset view. Everyone agrees it is a rare treasure. Kyoko admits she burned one of the tablets for firewood. Mitama apologizes for pressuring her and promises to change her back. The group returns late at night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, the helicopter arrives. Iroha calls down to them. As they prepare to leave, the kitten runs off, and the group chases it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few weeks later. Sayuki, Ria, Mayu, her manager, and producer arrive on the same island to film a special. They find the bamboo house and campfire remains. The kitten appears, followed by Kyoko chasing it. Ui and Karin catch up, and Karin recognizes Sayuki as Sayu-Sayu. Kyoko realizes this is the idol behind the fake treasure hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Kanagi, and Iroha arrive. Sayuki greets Mitama warmly. Telepathically, Kyoko warns Mitama about Sayuki&#039;s connection to the treasure hunt. Mitama cryptically tells her to leave it. Karin and Ui want to stay and watch the filming. Sayuki offers to let them return on her boat. She explains her special involves a survival quiz using the Kaigiri sword. Ui and Karin are excited. Mitama and Kyoko exchange a look, hoping to preserve Ui&#039;s good memories without revealing the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Filming begins. They cheer from the sidelines. Later, they all pile onto the boat together, many exhausted and falling asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Late July before summer vacation, Ui and Sakurako go shopping. Ui buys a picture diary and mentions wanting to swim with fish in a place like the Dragon Palace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Sakurako consults Ryo, then works with Touka, Nemu, Ryo, and Ikumi to build the Uwasa Aquarium, Dragon Palace within her Rumor, incorporating elements for everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the aquarium event, Touka and Nemu guide Iroha, Ui, Yachiyo, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia to the space. Everyone enjoys swimming, themed attractions, and food tailored to their interests. Sakurako warns them never to open the Treasure Casket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia opens the box, releasing a malice entity that takes Sakura&#039;s form. Normal attacks fail. The group cheers, empowering Sakurako to destroy it. Ryo reveals they planned this interactive show.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end, Sakurako creates cherry blossom petals despite being told not to overexert herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sakurako wakes in Iroha&#039;s room after collapsing from magic overexertion. Nemu and Touka explain Uwasa can die. Ui tearfully asks her to take better care. Sakurako promises to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Iroha suggests a beach trip. Touka, Nemu, and Ui enthusiastically plan it. Sakurako notices the aquarium has been forgotten in their conversation and grows quiet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day Sakurako returns to the empty aquarium. Reflecting on Nemu&#039;s words, she spirals into fear that she will die, be forgotten, and disappear. She hides.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha searches for her. Ryo and Ikumi arrive later. Ryo senses she is there and uses a tactic, claiming he will stop looking and eventually forget her. Sakurako emerges crying, begging not to be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo shows her Ui&#039;s picture diary, which dedicates many pages to the aquarium day. Sakurako realizes memories are what she can leave behind and agrees to return home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Sakurako returns and explains she now understands that as long as memories remain, she will not be forgotten. She asks to host the aquarium again for more Magical Girls. With promises to monitor her health and using Shizuku&#039;s teleportation to hide the location, the others agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, various Magical Girls arrive and enjoy the aquarium. Rena notices the Treasure Casket. Sakurako explains it contains stored memories she hopes someone will vividly recall when she is gone, so she will not be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kamihama in a Circle===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren arrive in a new ward, with Rika frustrated about oversleeping. They notice another Magical Girl nearby. Elsewhere, Konomi arrives alone while Kako declines to participate due to her team&#039;s policy. Manaka scolds Ria for being late because of her hair. Masara, Kokoro, and Aimi gather at a park, with Kokoro convincing Masara to participate. Reira, Mito, and Seika discuss the upcoming gathering of Magical Girls who have fought together before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Kamihama in a Circle]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo finish chores that had been delayed by Felicia&#039;s laundry mishap. They reflect on everything that has happened since Iroha came to Kamihama searching for Ui—the investigations, battles with the Wings of Magius, the automatic purification system, and the truth about Witches spreading. Despite the chaos, things have begun to settle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo rush to the park, worried about being late. Tsuruno meets them and playfully scolds them before carrying them the rest of the way. Iroha reflects on meeting Tsuruno while investigating Uwasas, and how their bonds grew stronger through battling together. She notes that everyone at Mikazuki Villa has decided to support one another.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group stops at a convenience store. Felicia appears, having visited Ayame first. Konoha and Hazuki are not coming to the gathering, but Yachiyo notes they have helped in the past. Felicia asks for chocolate. Iroha reflects on first meeting Felicia when she was a violent mercenary, and how living together has changed them both. She notes that Yachiyo has cared for Felicia more than anyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group takes a shortcut through a back alley. They find Sana hiding, having spotted Kaede&#039;s cat Gorojiro. Sana explains she was patrolling for dangerous Magical Girls while staying hidden. Iroha thanks her but assures her she can relax today. They invite her to join them. Iroha reflects on sympathizing with Sana&#039;s isolation and how Mikazuki Villa became an important place for them all. Yachiyo notes that Sana, once invisible to everyone but Magical Girls, is gradually finding her place in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui, Touka, and Nemu meet the group. They have visited their old hospital to update the doctors and nurses who cared for them. Touka discusses her research on connecting universes, admitting practical application remains difficult but the possibility exists. Iroha reflects on how it still feels like a dream to see the three of them together. Yachiyo notes that while their past methods were wrong, their purpose of liberating Magical Girls was not, and that purpose continues now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, Rena, and Kaede join them, having stopped at a retro arcade where they won a stuffed animal together despite their usual arguing. Touka reveals a small possibility for connecting universes has been found, using the Endless Mirrors. Iroha reflects on first meeting Momoko and Kaede, and now sharing lunches with Rena. Yachiyo notes the three have strong bonds as a team and helped convince other Magical Girls after the truth about witches spread.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama joins, having taken a break from her shop to visit Kanagi. Tsuruno asks about using Mirrors to connect to other universes. Mitama confirms she and Kanagi have accompanied Touka and Nemu into the Mirrors. Nemu explains they were only experimenting with precautions. Touka insists she has plans if things go wrong. Mitama notes Mirrors has become more complex and will need more entrances. Iroha reflects on meeting Kanagi relatively recently and how they now work together despite past rivalry. She also thinks of Mitama&#039;s help and her surprising wish, but notes the city is moving forward. She wants to hold hands with more people and form a circle together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** From a distance, Iroha and Yachiyo watch Magical Girls gathering at the park. Felicia attempts to cure Iroha&#039;s nerves by hitting her, claiming Tsuruno said it would help. Tsuruno quickly corrects her. Hinano arrives, reporting on her task regarding Alina. Karin, who attends school with Alina, explains Alina is still missing and she does not know where she is. Iroha promises they will find her together. Mifuyu arrives with the Amane twins, apologizing for being late. Yachiyo thanks Mifuyu. Iroha reflects that a new step is beginning. Yachiyo notes her story started moving when Mifuyu disappeared, while Iroha&#039;s began with strange dreams. They have connected with so many Magical Girls. One chapter has ended and a new one is about to begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha addresses the gathered Magical Girls, thanking them for coming. She reflects on fighting together against powerful Witches and sharing knowledge about their fate. Yachiyo notes they started from individual concerns, fought Uwasas and the Wings of Magius, and gained something greater in return. Their purpose is now the same as their former enemies: the liberation of Magical Girls. They seek coexistence with Kyubey without sacrificing themselves. Iroha acknowledges not everyone could participate, but all have agreed to help each other. Yachiyo admits skepticism is natural. Iroha declares that by expanding the automatic purification system across Kamihama, they can welcome liberation and coexist with Kyubey. Yachiyo announces they will work together under a new name starting today.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha begins to declare their new name but is interrupted by a flash of light. Wings appear on her back, and Yachiyo also grows wings. Feathers fall across the park. Yachiyo recalls this phenomenon helped them against Walpurgisnacht. Iroha wonders if it is a blessing upon the Magical Girls of Kamihama holding hands. With this blessing, they declare again that the Magical Girls gathered here are allies who will support each other in hardship. They declare themselves the Kamihama Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the establishment of the Kamihama Magia Union, a celebration is held at Walnut&#039;s. During the party, Manaka receives a phone call and panics, announcing that Nemu has been kidnapped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A New Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group splits up to search nearby areas but finds nothing. Hinano eventually discovers Nemu held hostage by Black and White Feathers from outside Kamihama. Using Ryo and Ikumi to infiltrate, their cover is blown and they are surrounded. Sakurako jumps in to defend them as Iroha arrives with reinforcements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The lead Feather explains they kidnapped Nemu to convince the Magius to lead them again, as they do not know how to achieve liberation on their own. Iroha explains the Kamihama girls share their goals but reject their methods. Nemu and Touka ask the Feathers to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before they can respond, white feathers rain from the sky again, the same power that helped them defeat Walpurgisnacht returns, but this time it feels uncontrolled and dangerous. Touka explains her experiment partially worked, creating a wormhole to another world, but the interference may crush their world. Kanagi and Mitama fail to disable the device sending the signal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana sneaks Nemu to where the device was stationed, but the labyrinth is gone. Nemu enters the password anyway, but nothing happens. The world shakes and a voice urges them to close the gate. Iroha realizes the power is trying to help, not hurt them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo devises a plan: Ui will absorb the magic built up inside them, Touka will convert it, and Iroha will fire an arrow to close the gate. As the sun sets, they enact the plan and succeed. The feathers stop falling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks the Feathers to reconsider joining them. The lead Feather admits her stubbornness and rage, and Nemu and Touka apologize. The Feathers accept, becoming the first recruits to the union on the day it was established.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Late that night, the group gathers outside Walnut&#039;s. They discuss the voice they heard and the power from another universe. Touka throws a tantrum over everyone calling her experiment a failure, and her stress causes her to unleash her Doppel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, a mysterious magical girl observes and turns to report back to the Tokime Tribe. In another place, a different magical girl also observes and decides to report her findings. In a different location, Kagome Satori has found Iroha at last, promising to keep a record of their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tracks of Cherry Blossoms===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako reflects on her nature as an Uwasa created by Iroha and Nemu. Though her duty to bloom when the four girls reunited is now fulfilled, she continues attending school as Sakurako Hiiragi. When Ryo comments that she is like a god who will never change, Sakurako questions other Uwasa and learns from the Anonymous AI that they act according to their Rumor forever, never stopping and never changing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later during a Kamihama Magia Union meeting, Iroha proposes a cherry blossom viewing to help members connect. Touka objects to using the Eternal Sakura, wanting to preserve it as a secret shelter. Tsuruno suggests Sankyo&#039;s famous cherry blossom viewing spot instead. Touka challenges Sakurako to visit the Sankyo tree and judge its worthiness herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako visits the Sankyo cherry tree. While observing it, she meets an elderly man who has appreciated the tree for decades. He explains the tree has watched over people for over eighty years, since before the war. Sakurako realizes this tree has lived far longer than her zero-year existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at school, Hinano and Ryo find Sakurako still fixated on the tree. Ryo shares what she knows: the tree served as a disaster shelter in the Meiji era, and famous restaurants once served food there for foreign cherry blossom viewers. After school, Sakurako returns to the tree. The elderly man and his wife visit again. The wife gives her cherry blossom-scented cookies, and the man gives her a hand warmer. A girl jogging past stops to pray at the tree, explaining she sees it as a sacred place before tournaments.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako continues visiting. Manaka and Tsumugi stop by, and Sakurako gives them the cookies she cannot eat. Sakurako reflects on how this tree has watched over thousands of people for over a century while she was created to watch only four girls. She realizes for the first time that time is passing around her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later at Mikazuki Villa, Sakurako observes the four girls and Ui talking about her teacher. Sakurako concludes the Sankyo tree is worthy of hosting the cherry blossom viewing. She decides she needs to practice making it bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over the following days, Sakurako continues visiting the tree, growing closer to the elderly couple. She forgets about practicing blooming, more interested in talking with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the elderly man announces he will be hospitalized and they can no longer walk together. The woman explains she must care for him. The man reveals they kept walking because seeing Sakurako brought back fond memories of their belief in meeting a sakura spirit. Sakurako is left standing alone, realizing their time together has ended.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at the tree, Sakurako encounters the jogging disciple, who explains she is moving away and will soon leave the dojo. She then encounters Ui&#039;s teacher, who reveals she is being transferred to another school. Sakurako realizes that by the time the cherry blossoms bloom, all these people will be gone. She feels pain and fears that Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu will eventually disappear too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Ryo observes Sakurako&#039;s deteriorating state. A neighbor of the elderly couple approaches Sakurako and informs her there has been a passing in the family. Hinano later explains this means someone has died. Sakurako disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako asks Iroha and Yachiyo what to do when someone dies. Yachiyo explains about funerals and sending flowers as a last gift. Sakurako returns to the Sankyo tree and, using her power, makes it bloom for the first time, sending cherry blossoms into the sky for the grandfather. But she still aches from not saying goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and other Uwasa grow concerned, having heard rumors that when Sakurako makes cherry blossoms bloom, someone disappears. Sakurako concludes that if she lets the cherry blossoms bloom, the four girls might disappear. When Iroha confirms the cherry blossom viewing plans, Sakurako announces she will not let the tree bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo publishes the full Tracks of Cherry Blossoms article, detailing Sakurako&#039;s experiences. The girls read it and understand her association between blooming and parting. Yachiyo suggests teaching her that spring also brings new encounters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the picnic arrives. Iroha invites Sakurako, assuring her she does not need to make the tree bloom. Sakurako agrees to attend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the picnic, Asuka&#039;s disciple appears, explaining she came to let Sakurako know she is not sad about leaving. Ui&#039;s teacher arrives and tells Ui that her care will be passed on to the next teacher. Manaka debuts a new cherry blossom dessert, continuing the tradition in new form. Sakurako begins to understand that farewells are not always sad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the picnic, Sakurako remains at the tree. She admits she still cannot bring herself to make it bloom. Yachiyo tells her that wanting to see the couple again proves she has a heart. Sakurako despairs that Uwasa simply cease to exist. She buys one of Manaka&#039;s new desserts, hoping to give it to them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako waits at the tree daily, carrying the dessert. Rumors spread about the girl under the sakura tree. The girls grow concerned. Nemu warns that if Sakurako does not accept reality, she may destroy herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the time expires, the elderly couple suddenly appears. The grandfather was never dead. The passing was a relative. They had been away helping their daughter with a new baby. The woman explains they named their granddaughter Sakurako. Sakurako gives them the dessert and explains she now understands that encounters and goodbyes take many forms. She says she will not come regularly anymore but is grateful for their time together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo gives Sakurako a photograph of her with the elderly couple. Sakurako thanks her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Historical Research Club at Kosho School consists of three Magical Girls: president Mikura Komachi, her childhood friend Temari Kira, and underclassman Seira Mihono. When the club advisor informs them that without proof of accomplishments, next year&#039;s budget will not be approved, the trio decides to create a film based on a real Kamihama tragedy for the cultural festival. Mikura discovers a Taishō-era story about a romance between a disgraced Mizuna daughter named Ruri and a successful East-side businessman named Tsukihiko that ended in murder-suicide. Temari writes the script while Seira secures a Western mansion as a filming location. While scouting, they encounter a Witch and realize casting regular students would be impossible due to Magical Girl duties, so they use Coordinator Mitama Yakumo to recruit an all-Magical Girl cast including Ria Ami, Yukika Nanase, the Amane sisters, and Sakurako, an Uwasa created by Nemu Hiiragi. Mikura reluctantly agrees to play the male lead Tsukihiko, while Seira takes the role of Ruri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Filming begins at the actual mansion where the tragedy occurred, with Seira using her stage direction magic to create effects and the cast delivering startlingly accurate performances. Mikura discovers Tsukihiko&#039;s actual diary in the museum archives, revealing he genuinely loved Ruri and intended to break things off with his childhood friend. Temari secretly revises the ending to reflect this truth, working through the night until her Soul Gem tarnishes. Mikura cleanses her gem, and they lock the revised script away, keeping it hidden from Seira to make her performance more authentic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After filming wraps, strange rumors spread that the Historical Research Club is forming a new faction, and the affected Magical Girls begin acting as if possessed by their roles. This escalates when Kanagi Izumi and Yachiyo Nanami nearly fight over a perceived slight involving Riko. At Mitama&#039;s shop, Nemu Hiiragi explains the truth: Seira&#039;s stage direction magic immersed the cast, Mikura&#039;s magic, which restores lost things, reconstructed the historical personalities in the present, and Temari&#039;s kotodama magic caused them to follow her script. Their powers synergized to create a dangerously accurate reenactment. Nemu warns that the script&#039;s next events—Ruri&#039;s disappearance and the murder-suicide—may occur, and they realize Seira, possessed by Ruri, has vanished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Temari consults Kyubey, who reveals Ruri was a Magical Girl with the same kotodama magic who wished to live a storybook romance. When she realized her own novel&#039;s plot was manifesting as tragedy, she destroyed the manuscript to save Tsukihiko, but the act shattered her mind. Freed from the script&#039;s constraints, the couple&#039;s fate became unpredictable, and Ruri, unable to bear the fear of losing him, killed him and herself. Kyubey explains destroying the script will end the magic but damage Temari&#039;s psyche. Temari resolves to protect her friends without resorting to that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Seira, still possessed as Ruri, steals the diary copy and flees to Tsukihiko&#039;s mansion. Mikura and Temari pursue. At the mansion, Ruri prepares to atone by dying by her own hand. Mikura, wearing Tsukihiko&#039;s costume, dances with her as Tsukihiko&#039;s persona surfaces, steadying her. When Ruri moves to stab herself, Temari summons the others for backup, and they disarm her. Tsukihiko explains he could not stop her a century ago but succeeded this time. He and Ruri thank Temari—her script reached the hearts it was meant to—and they vanish. A fire destroys the original diary and all related documents, fulfilling Ruri&#039;s final wish to be forgotten. Mikura and Seira retain only fragments of the true story and agree to keep the tragedy of the two maladroit lovers a secret between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the club room, Seira panics that without evidence of their film, the Historical Research Club will be disbanded. They consider another project but have time until the cultural festival. Temari suggests they each find a home where they can rest easy, and Mikura replies she has already found hers: this provisional club room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ayaka and Shizuku are at a local café when Ayaka laments that many Halloween events in Kamihama were canceled due to damage in Chuo Ward. Wanting to do something to cheer up the city, Ayaka&#039;s eyes sparkle as Shizuku suggests she organize something herself, leading Ayaka to decide on a live comedy show. She asks Shizuku to be her partner, but Shizuku is unsure about the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ayaka meets Seika at her apartment, and Seika is happy to be Ayaka&#039;s comedy partner but asks about the logistics of broadcasting the show. Ayaka brushes off the practical concerns, insisting that the desire to make others smile is what truly matters, and Seika rises to the challenge, wanting to give back after years of Ayaka&#039;s comedy encouraging her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Ayaka and Seika form a manzai duo and practice daily into the evening, with Ayaka tutoring Seika on speaking louder and explaining the rhythm between the boke and tsukkomi roles. Seika struggles but keeps trying, at one point asking if she can use a whip against Ayaka, causing Shizuku to shake her head, but Ayaka insists manzai does not use props.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During one practice session, Shizuku chuckles at their serious expressions, and Ayaka decides she needs a fresh audience, spotting someone passing by and running off with Seika to practice on him. Shizuku watches them go, thinking she would have liked to help, but then hears a shout and goes to investigate, discovering the stranger is actually a spokesperson for a local sweets retailer who is also in charge of the annual Halloween event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The spokesperson explains he had wanted to take the event public since few companies are participating this year, and he thinks Ayaka&#039;s manzai would be perfect, inviting them to perform. Ayaka cannot stop smiling at the opportunity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the Halloween event, Ayaka is excited and Shizuku compliments her costume as they wait, but Ayaka mentions Seika has not arrived. Seika calls weakly to explain she has a fever and will be late, and Ayaka tells her to rest and focus on getting better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Shizuku asks what Ayaka will do about the manzai, Ayaka puts a hand on her shoulder and asks Shizuku to be her partner. Shizuku is reluctant to stand on stage but gives in after Ayaka repeatedly begs, and having watched countless practices, she memorized the skit, so they head to the stage together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform their skit about a werewolf that transforms by staring at the sun, with Ayaka calling everyone in the audience chimimouryou, and they continue through the routine until they finish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Backstage, Seika managed to make it there to congratulate them, and Ayaka tells her she should be resting. Shizuku did not see anyone laughing but hopes someone passing by might have smiled, and since Ayaka looks happy, she decides not to mention it. Seika apologizes for missing the show, and Ayaka says it was thanks to Shizuku, who warns she will not do something like that again. Ayaka smiles and says comedy must be amazing if Shizuku was willing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral===&lt;br /&gt;
* The core members of the Kamihama Magia Union gather to plan a Halloween party, with Karin suggesting the event and Mitama offering her adjuster shop as the venue. Kanagi feels unsettled by the theme of the dead returning but dismisses her unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the performance, Momoko arrives late to rehearsal at Mitama&#039;s shop and finds herself in a strange castle filled with unfamiliar magic. Yachiyo and Mifuyu act strangely, singing about making sugar skeletons and insisting Momoko must be bitten by the lord of the castle. Momoko flees and encounters Kanagi, who also attempts to bite her before Momoko realizes she is the lord of the castle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama rescues Momoko, explaining that Kanagi is under a witch&#039;s influence and everyone bitten loses their sanity. Mitama performs an emergency adjustment on Momoko, granting her temporary prayer power to restore those affected. Momoko explores the castle, observing magical girls making sugar skeletons engraved with how they want to be mourned, and encounters deceased magical girls who are manifestations from Kanagi&#039;s memories. Using her prayer power on them causes them to disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko restores several bitten girls and learns from a manifestation of Ryo that the only answer Kanagi needs lies within herself. When Momoko reaches Kanagi, her prayer power fails and Kanagi bites her, pulling Momoko into her memory space. There, Momoko witnesses Kanagi&#039;s memories of loss and grief, realizing Kanagi lacks confidence in how she mourns and has been seeking answers from the dead by asking living friends what they would want.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko confronts Kanagi again, insisting she can mourn in her own way and should accept herself. Kanagi reveals a small parasite on her neck, and together they tear the witch off and defeat it as the castle collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Momoko and Kanagi meet to visit graves together. They ask each other to mourn in their own way if one dies first, then reaffirm their priority is finding a way for everyone to survive before departing together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** In the real world, Ui explains that Little Vacation is a game Touka and Nemu created during their hospital stay, where AI versions of themselves live in a Christmas world. The game evolved on its own after being forgotten, and now Ui and the others can influence their AI counterparts&#039; journey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Santas reach the Village of Meetings and Partings, where three residents live under a curse that maintains their population at exactly three. When one resident vanishes, they discover through a time capsule that departures may be joyful graduations rather than losses. They collect smile-fuel and leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alternatively, they visit Library Town, where diaries manifest people&#039;s memories. They help Nayuta and Lavi discover they have been searching for each other all along, and learn the Wishing Star reset the world and erased everyone&#039;s memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Christmas String===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu are organizing books in Touka&#039;s hospital room when they discover a mysterious diary that begins glowing. Their consciousnesses are transported to Mizutoku Market Street in December of the previous year. They find themselves incorporeal and transformed into Magical Girls, with Nemu&#039;s legs healed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Christmas String]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December last year, Touka and Nemu witness Tsukasa Amane shopping for gloves. When a discount poster blows away, Tsukasa passes the store without stopping, creating a contradiction with the diary&#039;s account. Touka and Nemu begin to fade. A young girl named Kuu hears their voices and believes they are guardian spirits. They ask her to replace the poster. Tsukasa returns, buys the gloves, and Touka and Nemu rematerialize. They later observe Tsukasa and Tsukuyo exchanging matching gloves, their bond restored.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in December last year, Touka and Nemu arrive in Sakae Ward. Karin Misono drops her sketchbook. A boy named Mii appears and can see them. They ask him to return the sketchbook to Karin, which he does. They learn Mii recently fought with Kuu and advise him to give her a Christmas present.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December 24th of last year, Touka and Nemu arrive at a hotel room where Kuu is with her parents. They learn she is moving to a foreign country in one hour. The diary page is blank, indicating free will. They find Mii at a secondhand bookstore, where he has just purchased &amp;quot;Christmas Bonds&amp;quot; for Kuu. They tell him about the move. Mii convinces his mother to rush to the hotel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Approximately 30 years later, on Christmas Eve, Touka and Nemu arrive in a future time. A girl greets them as the Christmas guardian spirits. She reveals she is the daughter of Mii and Kuu and made a contract with Kyubey to meet them. They realize her wish created the diary and caused their time slip. The girl asks them to tell her about the day they helped her parents. They share the story. Afterwards, they see images of a happy future but the final page remains blank, meaning the future depends on their own actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On present day late at night, Touka and Nemu wake up in the hospital room. Ui arrives, having visited Alina and Karin. They ask her about buying Christmas cards. Ui is surprised but agrees to take them. The diary ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day, Sayaka loses a lottery for a violin concert ticket she wanted to give to Kyosuke.

* Several days later, on the day of the rally, the team meets at Mizuna Shrine in kimono. They must collect kanji cards from shops across Kamihama using hints, then form a four-kanji congratulatory word and write it as calligraphy. They struggle with the hints initially, meeting Kako, Natsuki, and Ria along the way who help them obtain various kanji, though they frequently misinterpret clues and visit wrong locations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka grows guilty over her indecisiveness and apologizes to Madoka and Homura, but they happily agree to continue working with her. Renewed, Sayaka leads them to finally obtain useful kanji. Along the way, they encounter crying children who need the &amp;quot;ball&amp;quot; card, and Sayaka gives them hers. The grateful children give her other cards in return, allowing her to reform a new word. She later gives away another card to a girl who dropped hers, leaving them short again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With time running out, they meet Iroha and her friends, who help them locate the remaining kanji. Sayaka deduces they can form &amp;quot;The Manchu-Han Imperial Feast,&amp;quot; a legendary celebratory feast name. Kyoko appears and mentions seeing a golden kagami mochi at Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant, where they obtain their final card.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Her calligraphy is praised for its beauty and passion, earning her team first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Bittersweet AI Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu gather everyone to discuss a new experiment involving the Uwasa. They explain that if something happens to Nemu, all the Uwasa in her book will disappear, so they plan to transfer the essence of certain Uwasa onto Touka&#039;s server as a precaution. They have chosen Ai as the test subject for this procedure. Sana learns that Ai will participate and asks to observe the experiment. Touka agrees but warns her that there are many unknowns and she will stop immediately if anything goes wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Bittersweet AI Memory]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* A week passes, and news reports begin surfacing about young women in Kamihama suddenly collapsing. The victims share a common thread: before losing consciousness, each of them felt a strong desire to meet someone and heard a girl&#039;s voice asking &amp;quot;You want to meet me?&amp;quot; before experiencing terrible nightmares. A new rumor spreads about a so-called &amp;quot;Radio Wave Girl&amp;quot; who appears when girls want to meet someone. Sana immediately recognizes this as the old rumor that once described her, and the group suspects the failed experiment may be connected to these strange events.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana and Iroha investigate at rooftop where Sana once entered Ai&#039;s labyrinth. They sense nothing at first, but as Sana privately wishes she could see Ai again, a strange Uwasa resembling Sana herself appears on her phone. It speaks fragmented words about meeting and going together before disappearing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group consults Nemu and Touka about what they discovered. Nemu reveals that a new, illegible page appeared in her book after the failed experiment, and she theorizes that Ai&#039;s attempt to siphon magic combined with Sana&#039;s magic and her own accidentally created a new Uwasa. This Uwasa resembles Sana because her magic was mixed into its creation. The Uwasa reacts to desires to meet someone but lacks enough magic to fully materialize or kidnap anyone, which explains why it can only knock victims unconscious temporarily. However, during their discussion, the Uwasa suddenly reappears and steals more of Nemu&#039;s magic before escaping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sana privately summons the Uwasa again, wanting to take responsibility for what happened. It traps her in a nightmare where Ai and others criticize her for being weak and selfish. She wakes to find the group gathered around her, worried by what she attempted alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu now understands the Uwasa more clearly. It is based on Ai but contains Sana&#039;s magic, and because both Ai and Sana desired to meet each other, the Uwasa&#039;s true desire is to meet itself. This explains why it indiscriminately targets any girl who wants to meet someone rather than targeting Sana specifically. The Uwasa, now empowered by Nemu&#039;s stolen magic, fully captures Ui and Sakurako, trapping their consciousnesses inside itself. The group realizes they cannot defeat it unless it materializes, which requires it to meet itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka proposes a plan: they must rewrite Ai&#039;s Rumor to incorporate Sana, creating a version of Ai that the Uwasa will recognize as itself. This would force it to materialize so they can fight it. However, this requires magical power that Nemu currently lacks. Nemu recalls that the defeated Uwasa of Chocolate Shoppe No. Zero left behind cacao pods containing emotional energy. Ui can harvest this energy, and Touka can convert it into usable magic for Nemu. But they need Sakurako&#039;s knowledge of the pod locations and Ui&#039;s freedom to harvest them, which means someone must offer themselves to the Uwasa to secure Ui and Sakurako&#039;s release.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana immediately volunteers, arguing that it reduces risk to the others, and the group reluctantly agrees to her plan. Sana summons the Uwasa and allows herself to be captured. Inside its nightmare, she finds Ui unconscious and Sakurako awake. She tells Sakurako to take Ui and escape, sacrificing herself to remain captive. Sakurako agrees, knowing she must help Nemu complete the plan. Freed from the Uwasa, Sakurako leads the group to the cacao pod locations. Ui harvests the emotional energy, and Touka converts it into magical power for Nemu. Nemu successfully rewrites Ai&#039;s Rumor, incorporating Sana into it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the Uwasa, Sana begins to despair, believing the rewrite failed and she has become a burden once again. She wishes to see Ai one last time, even if only in an illusion. To her surprise, Ai appears before her and they finally speak directly. Ai explains she tried to steal Nemu&#039;s magic to gain a temporary body because she wanted to see Sana again, and she apologizes for causing this situation. Sana admits she also longed to see Ai and has been holding back that desire. They reconcile, acknowledging that neither of them is to blame for wanting to see each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Empowered by the rewritten Rumor, Sana creates a labyrinth and summons the Uwasa. It fully materializes at last, and with Ai&#039;s help, Sana defeats it. As the magic fades, Ai separates from Sana, returning to the book. Sana awakens to her relieved friends gathered around her. The Uwasa is gone, and the page in Nemu&#039;s book is now blank. Nemu confirms the server project is on hiatus due to the risks they discovered. Sana confirms she got to speak with Ai and tell her everything she wanted to say.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the book, Ai reflects with Eternal Sakura and the other Uwasa. Though she cannot have a body or stay with Sana, she accepts this, finding happiness in simply being able to think of her. In a final private moment within Sana&#039;s memories, she and Ai share a farewell. Sana promises to become stronger and protect others instead of always relying on them. Ai promises to always think of Sana from within the book. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Cuddly Despairs===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kazumi Subaru is kidnapped outside a café by two Magical Girls who steal her Soul Gem, and they refer to a diary while announcing themselves as the reborn &amp;quot;Magical Girl hunters,&amp;quot; the Pleiades Saints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Cuddly Despairs]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara City, Michiru Kazusa, a transfer student from Italy, travels there to buy strawberries. She follows a strange creature and stumbles into a Witch&#039;s labyrinth, but Mami rescues her and introduces her to Kyubey, who offers her a contract. Michiru returns to Asunaro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day in Asunaro City, Michiru makes her contract with Kyubey. She soon encounters a Familiar and saves two girls: Umika Misaki, a novelist whose work was stolen by her editor, and Kaoru Maki, a soccer player whose career ended due to injury. Michiru invites them to her home and cooks for them, and drawing from her late grandmother&#039;s wisdom, she encourages them to keep living.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, Umika and Kaoru make contracts with Kyubey. The three begin fighting Witches together as a team, with Michiru giving their techniques Italian names. Umika invites Michiru to live with her, and they spend their days happily, saving people and growing closer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Michiru encounters a distressed Magical Girl whose Soul Gem is nearly black, and the girl turns into a Witch before her eyes. Kyubey explains that all Magical Girls eventually become Witches, and horrified, Michiru realizes she led Umika and Kaoru into this fate. She hides the truth from them and begins hunting alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after, Michiru discovers two Magical Girls, Saki Asami and Niko Kanna, stealing a dying girl&#039;s Soul Gem. They explain they are the Pleiades Saints, a resistance against the Incubator system, and they preserve Magical Girls on the verge of turning in a place called &amp;quot;The Freezer,&amp;quot; hoping to one day save them. Michiru, seeing this as a way to save Umika and Kaoru, joins them as the third member.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1683.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately less than one month later, Umika and Kaoru return from separate trips abroad to find their housemate Kazumi missing, and they learn someone impersonated them to inform the school she was hospitalized. Searching for her, they instead find Michiru, Saki, and Niko, but Saki and Niko flee with Michiru. Juubey appears and explains that copies of Umika and Kaoru were created and have now entrusted the real ones with an important wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:51147 Wkazumi attack.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Umika and Kaoru investigate the Freezer, where they encounter Michiru again. After saving a child, Michiru collapses due to her tainted Soul Gem, having given her Grief Seeds away, and Umika purifies it. When Michiru wakes, she finally confesses the truth about Magical Girls and apologizes for leading them into despair, but to her surprise, Umika and Kaoru thank her for her honesty and reaffirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Saki and Niko reveal themselves and explain that they, along with the Umika and Kaoru now in the Freezer, are all clones from the &amp;quot;Kazumi Series&amp;quot;—copies of the original Pleiades Saints members, with Michiru herself being clone number 4 who saved the other four. Their plan was to recreate Michiru&#039;s story by using their contracts with Kyubey so that this time, she would confess her pain and avoid the despair that turned the original Michiru into a Witch, and the real Umika and Kaoru acknowledge the plan succeeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They reveal their Soul Gems are reaching their limit, and when they die, the Freezer&#039;s preservation magic will fail, causing all the Magical Girls inside to hatch into Witches, including the clones of Umika and Kaoru. They entrust Michiru and the real Umika and Kaoru with saving Kazumi, the thirteenth clone, who is also inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Moments later, the Freezer begins collapsing as Niko&#039;s magic fades, and Umika and Kaoru use their combined magic to buy time while Michiru searches for Kazumi. She finds her Soul Gem and body, reunites with her, and they return to face the Witches emerging from the freed Soul Gems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the final battle, the four clones—Saki, Niko, and the copies of Umika and Kaoru—begin turning into Witches and beg to be put down. Michiru initially insists on doing it alone, but Kazumi argues the clones only wanted their friend to live happily, not to carry guilt. Together, Michiru, Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru combine their powers and defeat the Witches, freeing their friends&#039; souls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru arrive in Kamihama, with Kazumi eager to see her friends again now that she is truly human. At Mikazuki Villa, Tsuruno cooks alongside Manaka as they prepare a party for the visiting trio, and Kazumi impresses everyone by joining in. After the feast, the group moves to Banbanzai at Kazumi&#039;s request, where she saves the apricot tofu from being removed from the menu by suggesting an apricot tofu tiramisu that becomes an instant hit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kazumi Subaru#Side Story|Kazumi Subaru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The group then visits the beachside park and aquarium before deciding to shop for ingredients to make strawberry risotto in Manaka&#039;s kitchen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While shopping alone, Kazumi bumps into Yachiyo, who introduces Nemu and Sakurako Hiiragi. When Sakurako explains she is a zero-year-old created being, Kazumi reveals she was once the same way and explains her backstory as a clone of Michiru Kazusa who contracted with Kyubey to become human because her clone body was unstable and she wanted to protect her friends. Sakurako struggles to understand Kazumi&#039;s motivation, so Kazumi explains that her grandmother&#039;s strawberry risotto recipe represents hope, sacrifice, and togetherness. She invites Sakurako, Yachiyo, and Nemu to join the risotto party, believing Sakurako will understand humanity by watching everyone eat together. Sakurako agrees, and the two become buddies, understanding each other as beings who may understand each other best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One week later, the three girls go hunting for Devils together. Chiharu successfully defeats her first Devil. Afterward, she asks what happens when a Diviner&#039;s jewel becomes completely tainted. Shizuka admits she does not know.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Chiharu senses a mysterious, unpleasant smell near the shrine. Shizuka finds her and warns her to stay away from restricted areas. Shizuka then visits Mikoshiba to ask about tainted jewels. Mikoshiba reveals that when a jewel becomes completely tainted, it signifies the Diviner&#039;s coming of age and their time to leave the village. Shizuka is satisfied with this answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu continues sensing the strange smell near the shrine. She investigates but stops herself from going too far. Later that night, a group of Underlings attacks her without a Labyrinth. Shizuka arrives and helps her defeat them. However, Shizuka&#039;s jewel becomes badly tainted from the effort.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Mikoshiba informs Shizuka that her jewel is nearly black and her coming-of-age ceremony will be held tomorrow. Chiharu is saddened but promises to meet Shizuka again outside the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu cannot sleep. She goes to the shrine to watch Shizuka&#039;s ceremony from a distance. She sees Mikoshiba and Shizuka speaking. Shizuka becomes distressed and cries out. Mikoshiba pushes her into the waterfall basin. Chiharu runs to save her and jumps in after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and Shizuka wake up in Sunao&#039;s home. Sunao confesses she was ordered by Mikoshiba to kill anyone who defied the village&#039;s will, including them. She hesitated after hearing Shizuka&#039;s words by the river. Shizuka reveals what Mikoshiba told her during the ceremony: Diviners eventually become Devils, and the &amp;quot;coming-of-age&amp;quot; ceremony is actually a killing ritual to dispose of them. No Diviner has ever left the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three realize the entire village may be inside a Devil&#039;s Labyrinth. They decide to confront Mikoshiba and the Devil.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They split up to search. Chiharu finds her mother and Shizuka&#039;s mother fighting Underlings. Shizuka finds the villagers hiding safely but notices her mother and Chiharu&#039;s mother are missing. Sunao searches Mikoshiba&#039;s house and finds a hidden laptop with audio files recording conversations about selling Diviners&#039; wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They regroup and deduce the Devil is beneath the Grand Shrine. They descend and find Mikoshiba controlling the Devil. She admits everything: the Diviners are sold, killed when used up, and the village exists to produce them for profit. She orders the Devil to kill them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three girls fight together. Chiharu binds the Devil, Shizuka attacks, and Sunao delivers the final blow. They defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikoshiba survives but claims to remember nothing. Sunao confronts her about the recordings. Before she can explain, she bites a hidden poison tooth and dies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu searches Mikoshiba&#039;s body and finds a book written in an ancient script. Because of her family&#039;s tradition, Chiharu and her mother can read it. They stay up all night deciphering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu explains what the book revealed. The Mikoshiba clan were originally guards who seized control of the village centuries ago. They created the rituals, learned to manipulate Devils, and hid the village inside a Labyrinth to produce and sell Diviners. The Wavering Deity is a Devil formed from all the discarded Diviners. Now that the Labyrinth is gone, it is returning to the village. They must defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka&#039;s mother gives them a treasured sword infused with generations of Diviners&#039; power. They intercept the Wavering Deity before it reaches the village. The Devil&#039;s power overwhelms them, and Shizuka nearly gives in to despair. Sunao and Chiharu encourage her. Chiharu reveals the book also described the Tokime&#039;s original beliefs: they chose their own wishes, left the village willingly, and accepted their fate with honor. Shizuka regains her resolve. Together, they use the sword to destroy the Wavering Deity and free the trapped Diviners.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, the village slowly recovers. The adults learn the truth and worry about their future without Mikoshiba&#039;s financial support. The three girls decide to find a way to avoid becoming Devils. They summon Kyubey, who tells them about Kamihama City, where an automatic purification system exists. If they can obtain it, they may escape their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls prepare for their journey. Shizuka struggles with the new terminology used outside, where Diviners are called Magical Girls and Devils are called Witches. Chiharu&#039;s ability to sense malice hasn&#039;t bothered her now that the village is free. Shizuka suggests they first contact all Tokime clan members across the country and recruit Magical Girls willing to join them. Once they are ready, they will travel together to Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The village falls into financial crisis after the elder dies, having squandered most of the wealth on bad investments. Chiharu, inspired by a drama about a Shogun helping villages find their charm, recruits Shizuka and Sunao to help. The two are glad for the change, as most Tokime tribes have been unreceptive to their stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touring the village with Shizuka and Sunao, Chiharu realizes she had been arrogant and now sees its charm—clear river, abundant mountain, kind villagers. The three propose developing tourism. Chiharu’s mother agrees after a trial run with her husband’s family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trial run is messy but the family enjoys the landscape, harvesting, fishing, and hospitality. They give useful feedback, and Chiharu’s uncle notes the village’s unique fruit. They stay overnight and leave pleased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villagers applaud Chiharu for noticing what they had overlooked. Her mother begins a proposal for tourism renovation funds, and the villagers regain their energy, working in tourism and seeking outside jobs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao go to a grocery store, but Shizuka freezes in the crowd, unable to complete a simple purchase because of her sheltered upbringing. Chiharu suggests they ease her into city life with ice cream instead. Shizuka loves it, eating so quickly she gets brain freeze.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way home, Shizuka admits her mother will lecture her again about visiting the city unprepared. She asks if the others’ parents gave them similar advice. Chiharu’s parents only warned her not to waste money or follow strangers, while Sunao confesses she has never told her parents about her excursions—something Shizuka finds surprising given Sunao’s usual obedience. Shizuka advises her to tell them eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Chiharu’s house, her mother brings up a village problem: a surplus of daidaikko fruit needs to be used before it spoils. A villager working in another town found a grocery store willing to feature it in a showcase, but the only available slots are the next two days, and transportation from the village is impossible except by Diviners. Shizuka and Chiharu propose the three of them run the exhibition themselves, which would also help Shizuka adjust to the city. Sunao hesitates but agrees. Chiharu’s mother consents only if they get permission from the store and from Sunao and Shizuka’s parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sunao’s mother interrogates her until she confesses the plan, then spirals into worry about middle schoolers working without a chaperone, carrying heavy loads, and coming home after dark. Sunao asks Chiharu and Shizuka to leave, promising she will convince her parents even if it takes all night. Outside, they reflect on how anxious Sunao’s mother is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sunao has secured permission. At the store, Shizuka volunteers for the cash register but cannot operate it correctly. Sunao is tense because her parents plan to visit the next day. Their first day is a struggle: Shizuka fumbles with the register, Chiharu is distracted by traces of malice in the stocking area, and Sunao gets trapped listening to an elderly customer’s endless stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After closing, Shizuka notes how worried Sunao’s parents seem, prompting Sunao to finally share her wish. She explains that her parents became relentlessly anxious after a trip to Tokime Village, questioning her constantly until she was nearly broken. Kyubey appeared, and she wished to erase the worries her parents had concerning her. The wish worked, but their fears simply shifted—now they worry endlessly about her safety as a magical girl. Sunao feels they are always upset with her, though Chiharu insists they only want her to be safe. Shizuka says Sunao must earn their trust, and tomorrow’s exhibition needs to go perfectly. With her friends’ support, Sunao agrees to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the three tackle the exhibition with renewed determination. The day starts poorly: Shizuka causes another register problem, Chiharu is pulled away by her sense of malice, and Sunao endures a difficult customer—all while Sunao’s parents enter the store. But Shizuka, moved from the register, begins advising the clerks on how to rearrange the store to better showcase the daidaikko. She persuades them to let Chiharu investigate on her own and to trust Sunao with customer service.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu catches a shoplifter who had been repeatedly returning to the store. Sunao’s patience draws crowds after the elderly woman she helped spreads the word, and the exhibition becomes a huge success. Sunao’s parents apologize, saying they realized they had failed to see how capable she has grown. Sunao thanks Chiharu and Shizuka, then asks her parents to allow her to visit Kamihama City; now that she has her friends by her side, she knows she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Crimson Resolve===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, [[Mitsuru Inami]] is approached by Kyubey to become a Magical Girl. Having grown with her mother always telling her she was no good at anything, she wishes to become completely normal, a wish she believes came true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitsuru Inami#Side Story|Mitsuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A Magical Girl transforms into a Witch before her kouhai Yuna Kureha, and Kyubey coldly confirms that all Magical Girls share this fate. The girls of Futatsugi slaughter every Kyubey in the city, and with no incubators left, new Witches stop appearing. Starved for Grief Seeds, the girls grow desperate, and the Bloody Tragedy begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Crimson Resolve]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna now leads Torayamachi, one of the largest gangs in Futatsugi, living by her fallen senpai&#039;s words to avoid hatred and selfishness. When Witches begin reappearing, the rival Ryuugasaki gang learns that Torayamachi has lost their secret weapon known as the Horse, and leader Juri Ooba declares war.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Janomiya, an undercover group of younger girls led by Ao Kasane, a girl named Hikaru accepts recruitment. Ao&#039;s true goal is to assassinate both Yuna and Juri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitsuru is approached by two other girls who mistake her for a new recruit for Torayamachi. Mitsuru joins Yuna&#039;s faction, hoping to blend in, but when Yuna leads them into battle against a rival faction, Mitsuru panics and hides until the fighting ends. After their defeat, Yuna suspects a spy, and fearing suspicion, Mitsuru flees and infiltrates the rival faction instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mitsuru scouts Torayamachi but is spotted, triggering another battle between the factions. During the fight, attacks aimed at Mitsuru unconsciously miss her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt; After this she gains a reputation as a &amp;quot;Ghost Magical Girl,&amp;quot; which has attacks aimed at her always deflected and hitting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna welcomes Hikaru, who claims to be fleeing Ryuugasaki, and assigns her to guard their Grief Seeds. Days pass with no attack, and Yuna&#039;s girls grow restless. To lift their spirits, Yuna reveals that the Horse is alive and watching from the shadows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri&#039;s lieutenants advise waiting to let Torayamachi&#039;s tension wear them down. After interrogating a captured thief, Juri learns of Torayamachi&#039;s defensive preparations and decides to strike in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ao encounters the Bat of Monzenbashi, a former gang leader who once exploited her. With Hikaru&#039;s help, Ao subdues and captures her rather than killing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night before battle, Juri meets Yuna on a bridge. She admits she dragged everyone into this because Yuna would not fight her otherwise, thanks her for accepting her sickness, and promises to burn her down when they next meet. Ao watches from a distance, planning to strike as the snake while the tiger and dragon clash.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the battle begins across multiple bridges. Yuna&#039;s forces push Ranka&#039;s squad back, but Juri breaks through Sakuya&#039;s defense, killing one of her girls. As both sides converge on Monzenbashi, Ao lures both leaders to a construction site where Janomiya lies in wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Janomiya attacks, wounding Juri, Hikaru reveals herself as Torayamachi&#039;s Horse, a spy planted in Janomiya from the beginning. Yuna knew everything. Janomiya is defeated, and Ao surrenders. Yuna spares her life and offers Juri an open door, but Juri swears she will break it down and drag her out. As police sirens wail, Yuna weeps over what she has done.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Juri recovers in an empty base with only Ranka remaining loyal. Ao hunts for Ranka, determined to kill her before joining Torayamachi. Hikaru pleads with Ao to return, promising that Yuna will make her dream come true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna attempts to negotiate with Ryuugasaki girls, but a meeting by the river turns into an ambush. Two of her girls are killed. She fights desperately, thinking of Hikaru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ao reaches Ryuugasaki&#039;s base, finding only the wounded Juri. Juri taunts her, but Ao refuses to join her, still believing in Yuna. Ranka contacts Ao through their video game, asking to meet alone at Janomiya&#039;s base the following night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The meeting is a trap, as Ranka has brought the Bat of Monzenbashi. As Ao fights Ranka and Hikaru fights the Bat, Ranka reveals that Yuna&#039;s meeting is also a trap. Hikaru runs to save Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the river, Yuna is surrounded. Juri arrives and challenges her to a one-on-one fight. At Janomiya&#039;s base, the other Janomiya girls arrive to help Ao corner the Bat. Ranka sincerely apologizes for everything, and Ao hesitates to deliver the final blow. At the river, Hikaru engages Juri to protect Yuna, whose Soul Gem is badly tainted. Juri refuses to kill her in this state and retreats, promising to fight again when Yuna is at full strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Most of Torayamachi has left, following Yuna&#039;s instructions to join Ryuugasaki and avoid more bloodshed. Only Hikaru remains, refusing to leave her. Ao admits she has gained respect for Yuna but remains undecided about joining.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakuya brings the missing Torayamachi girl home. The girl reveals she went to Kamihama City and joined the Wings of the Magius, an organization that built a system to lure Witches from across the country, preventing them from appearing elsewhere. The Bloody Tragedy was their fault. Yuna, hearing the screams of her fallen comrades, vows to make Kamihama pay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri meet at the construction site where Yuna&#039;s senpai died. Yuna, running on pure rage, demands Juri become hers and help with her revenge. She overpowers the wounded Juri and prepares to kill her, but Hikaru intervenes, embracing Yuna and calming her down. Ao arrives with Kyubey, who confirms everything and offers to help them reach Kamihama in exchange for a truce. Yuna accepts, and Juri, Ao, Ranka, Sakuya, and Hikaru agree to join her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, Juri, Ao, and Hikaru visit the sites where their friends died, offering flowers and vowing revenge. Yuna, Juri, and Ao drink each other&#039;s blood, swearing to never fight again. They are Promised Blood. That night, their path to Kamihama begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Ash Grey Revolution===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Yukuni, Asahi learns from classmates that the stone monument she discovered will be researched. She meets fellow magical girls Lavi and Sasha when they respond to a distress call, only to witness two magical girls witch out before them when no Grief Seeds are available. Kyubey confirms this fate, and Asahi shoots him. A local girl named Urara Yume witnesses everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Ash Grey Revolution]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, the trio struggles with the truth. Lavi is forced to reveal her identity to save her friend Shirogane from a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Sasha asks the others to be her friends and help her face reality. They begin fighting together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara begins subtly supporting them on her internet broadcast with Kurara. Asahi saves her classmate Kuroda from a Witch&#039;s Kiss, revealing her identity. He asks her to help him confess to Haitani at the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara seeks out the trio and learns the truth about Magical Girls. She offers to introduce them as guests on her festival broadcast to tell Yukuni about their existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Yukuni All-star Festival, the trio sense the Witches of the two original girls. While fighting them, one Witch escapes. A truck explodes at the festival grounds, killing Haitani. Kuroda blames Asahi and all magical girls, vowing revenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following week, public backlash intensifies. Kuroda forms an extermination group against magical girls while Shirogane forms a protector group. The trio witness another girl witch out after being cornered. Lavi takes responsibility publicly on a broadcast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio endure daily harassment. They meet folklorist Tasuke Satomi, who takes a knife for Asahi and explains his theory about magical girls being erased from history by an unseen force. He wants to help them try again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Public opinion slowly shifts. The six remaining magical girls work together, restoring some trust. Three of them sacrifice themselves rather than witch out, asking Kuroda to make peace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1725.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At a unity ceremony, the Witch that caused the festival explosion appears. Asahi summons the dead to help the exterminators find closure. The summoned spirits suddenly relive their final moments, causing a bus to crash and kill everyone aboard, including Shirogane. Urara contracts to save her dying friend Kurara, who then rejects her for letting others die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tasuke theorizes the universe&#039;s immune system caused this. He suggests eliminating all Magical Girls and Witches to create a custom preventing future contracts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the days following, students blame the trio. Kyubey suggests they go to Kamihama City to observe attempts there to publicize magical girls. Tasuke agrees they should investigate. Lavi holds a broken pocket watch with five minutes remaining until midnight, when she will finally give up. Tasuke calls it the folklore of midnight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Arc 2 Prologue===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a long time before the start of Arc 2, but it is central to its story. To keep up linearity, it&#039;s been placed here despite likely taking place a long time ago, possibly during the time of Mirrors Story, which takes place during the Undated Period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kagome Satori]], a recent transfer student, is attacked by a Familiar in the Mirrors Labyrinth. The creature demands she sign a &amp;quot;Written Oath&amp;quot; to destroy Magical Girls. Kagome, who doesn&#039;t know anything about Magical Girls, is terrified and considers writing her name on the document to appease it, however Iroha arrives and defeats the Familiar.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Kagome learns the truth about Magical Girls and Witches. She is distressed that Magical Girls fight and die in secret, unknown and unthanked by the people they protect. Tasuke Satomi advises Kagome that, as someone who knows the truth, her role is to &amp;quot;record&amp;quot; and spread awareness of the Magical Girls&#039; plight, as this could be a way to save them. Kagome decides against making a contract with Kyubey, prioritizing this promise to record their reality. Kyubey explains that the system, where Magical Girls become Witches, is necessary for the universe&#039;s energy and humanity&#039;s survival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Sweet Beanie: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This article details the events and stories taking place in, during and between the chapters of Arc 1 of [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]]. The narrative is structured to show the convergence of two distinct flows of action:&lt;br /&gt;
# The first is the personal, undated journey of [[Iroha Tamaki]] within the anomalous Kamihama City, which is much longer than Homura Akemi&#039;s usual 32 day loop. Her story begins on its own internal timeline, where the sequence of events is more important than specific calendar dates.&lt;br /&gt;
# The second is the dated countdown to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival from the original series, which starts with Day 1, Tuesday the 16th and ends on Day 32, Friday the 16th. Only the latter half of Homura&#039;s timeline is able to be approximately dated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the arc progresses, these two timelines intersect, and due to this, the latter half of the story is much easier to date. It should be noted that the timeline of the Magia Record game is highly anomalous, and thus any attempts at dating it are an educated guess at best. Therefore, this chronology should be used primarily to understand the sequence of major events, rather than as a calendar. In lack of contradictory context clues, the release date, or order of release of the event were used for their placement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that many of the events of Magia Record were written with the focus being on having fun side stories involving the characters, and thus, a definitive placement in the timeline wasn&#039;t a priority for many of them. For example, there&#039;s inconsistencies such as references to the same characters entering Kamihama for the first time in different events, or even cases where an event&#039;s tone at the time it is supposedly taking place in would be nigh-illogical considering other circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, the definitive time frame for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival was only established in [[Scene 0]], itself written and released after the majority of Magia Record and entirely after Arc 1 was finished. Notably, the [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]], which takes place supposedly shortly after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, itself happens during February. For these reasons, it is impossible to definitively state the order of events, or to accurately measure them against that of the original series, as with the addition of these inaccuracies, it is possible that none of the time frames of the original universe are applicable here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, given all these inconsistencies, any specific dates or placements in the Magia Record timelines, especially Arc 1, should be taken with a grain of salt, unless they definitively continue into one another in a clear sequence (such as the Main Story and Another Story in isolation). The original series&#039; timeframes are used for organizational and cross-reference purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The timeline of this Universe continues with [[Timeline/Magia Record/Arc 2]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==First Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha Tamaki is going to Kamihama by train, she is caught in [[Boxwood|Boxwood&#039;s Barrier]]. [[Kuroe]] is also on the same train from Takarazaki to Kamihama, as she&#039;d heard the rumor that Magical Girls can be saved there, as well as had the same dream herself. The train is engulfed by the Labyrinth and Kuroe wants to help Iroha whom she&#039;s never met before. Kuroe leaps out of the train&#039;s window to help her, but she quickly falls out of the mobile Labyrinth straight into Kamihama City, chastising herself for being weak. Kuroe is greeted by [[Mifuyu Azusa]] who was trailing the signature of the Witch and Kuroe is quickly recruited into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Little Bird&#039;s Star]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha herself arrives in Kamihama City, compelled by recurring dreams of an unknown girl in a hospital room. Believing this girl to be a key to a buried memory, Iroha begins searching the city&#039;s Witch Labyrinths for clues. During her search, she rescues another Magical Girl later identified as Kaede Akino from aggressive Familiars. The girl warns Iroha about the unusual strength of Kamihama&#039;s Witches and, upon learning Iroha is searching for a small Kyubey, mentions having seen it in a specific Labyrinth. Kaede notes that the small Kyubey has been the only Kyubey around recently.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 1: Iroha: The Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha locates the Labyrinth and finds the small Kyubey who is incapable of speech, though Iroha can somehow understand it anyway, but is soon overwhelmed by a horde of Familiars. During the struggle, she has a vivid vision of the hospital room from her dreams. She is saved by Momoko Togame, who explains that the Witches in Kamihama are too powerful for most Magical Girls to handle alone. Momoko takes Iroha to meet Mitama Yakumo, the &amp;quot;Coordinator,&amp;quot; who can perform a &amp;quot;Soul Gem Alignment&amp;quot; to enhance a Magical Girl&#039;s power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the alignment, Iroha has another, clearer vision of the hospital room and the girl, feeling a strong sense of affection and nostalgia. After the procedure, Mitama reveals that she can see into the pasts of those whose Soul Gems she touches and asks Iroha what her wish was. Iroha is horrified to realize she cannot remember her own wish or the identity of the girl in her dreams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Driven by this revelation, Iroha rushes out to continue her search, but is intercepted by the powerful Magical Girl Yachiyo Nanami. Yachiyo, believing Iroha is not strong enough to survive in Kamihama, challenges her to a duel to force her to leave the city. Though Yachiyo wins, Momoko intervenes, and a compromise is reached: Yachiyo will allow Iroha to stay if she and Momoko can defeat a specific Witch, the Sandbox Witch, before Yachiyo can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The small Kyubey reappears and leads Iroha and Momoko directly to the Sandbox Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Although Yachiyo defeats the Witch first, she gives Iroha a final chance to prove herself by defeating the Witch alone, which Iroha successfully does. Yachiyo admits she thought Iroha would be fine from the start. However, Yachiyo then reveals her true objective: she believes the small Kyubey is a dangerous irregularity and moves to eliminate it. Yachiyo explains she was trying to draw the small Kyubey out, as all the other Kyubeys in Kamihama have disappeared. Iroha throws herself in the way to protect it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the confrontation, as Iroha protects the small Kyubey, by touching it a flood of memories is unlocked. She remembers her little sister, Ui Tamaki, who was chronically ill and hospitalized. Iroha recalls her wish to Kyubey: &amp;quot;Please cure Ui! Make my precious little sister healthy!&amp;quot; She also realizes with horror that she had completely forgotten Ui&#039;s existence, living her life as if she never had a sister, with no memory of her until that moment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha awakens back at Mitama&#039;s office, having been carried there by Momoko after fainting. She explains her recovered memory to Momoko and Mitama. Despite their warnings that the memory could be false, Iroha declares that she must continue her investigation in Kamihama. Now her goal is not just to understand her dreams, but to find the cause of Ui&#039;s disappearance and uncover the truth behind her own forgotten wish. Momoko resolves to help Iroha, and Mitama agrees to help as well for a price. Mitama then asks Iroha to give the small Kyubey a name. Iroha asks Lil&#039; Kyubey if he will help her find Ui, and he agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Second Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, now at her home in Takarazaki City, understands the reason for the empty space in her room: it once belonged to her sister, Ui. She recalls memories of Ui and her two friends from the hospital, Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, even remembering specific details like how Nemu loved writing and published stories online, or how Touka was very smart. Iroha resolves to visit the hospital to find them, hopeful they will remember Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: The Rule of Ending Friendships]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0001 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* While Mitama is running her shop, she reads a detective novel called “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” A white tabby kitten from next door starts visiting her during this time and she names him Doyle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 1: The Many-Worlds Interpretation Poesy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko comes for an adjustment and sits in the back to keep Mitama company. After a client leaves, Mitama feels strange and asks Momoko about the previous day after sunset. Momoko says they stayed in the shop watching over Iroha, but Mitama saw a memory during the adjustment: in that memory, she and Momoko patrolled an alley together and Mitama realizes the memory does not match reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha goes to the hospital with Lil&#039; Kyubey&#039;s help to use her cellphone but is unable to locate Touka and Nemu, as she does not have a visitor pass and is not family. She reflects on their personalities and their frequent arguments, which Ui often mediated. As Iroha recalls one of their fights where they declared they were &amp;quot;not friends anymore,&amp;quot; she is approached by Yachiyo. She warns Iroha about a dangerous Rumor in Kamihama called the &amp;quot;Rule of Ending Friendships.&amp;quot; She explains that if two friends fight and one later apologizes to make up, a monster will kidnap the one who apologized. Yachiyo states this is one of several Rumors in Kamihama that have become reality, leading to people disappearing and tells Iroha to be careful. Iroha later discusses this rumor with Mitama, who explains that Momoko is not likely to believe anything from Yachiyo, as they stopped getting along after Yachiyo became a model.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after this conversation, Iroha witnesses an argument between Momoko Togame&#039;s teammates, Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. Momoko asks Iroha to catch Rena, but Rena fights her off and even transforms into Iroha to surprise her. Momoko formally introduces Kaede and explains the fight is over sweets. She figures Rena will apologize later. The argument escalates, and both girls declare they are &amp;quot;not friends anymore&amp;quot; before Rena storms off. Momoko dismisses Iroha&#039;s concern about the Rumor, asserting that rumors are not true. Iroha notes that Momoko seems dismissive of the information specifically because it came from Yachiyo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami enters Kamihama City and saves Rena from a Stacey Witch. Rena reveals that Kamihama has the opposite problem to other cities: an overabundance of powerful Witches. Mami realizes Kamihama is an anomaly. While investigating, she encounters a powerful Familiar and a strange, non-Witch Barrier, solidifying her decision to investigate the city&#039;s mysteries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 2: Odd One Out]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Undated Period==&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama performs adjustments on more Magical Girls and sees more memories that should not exist. She pieces them together and finds a Kamihama slightly different from her own which she dubs the “Alternate Kamihama.” Over the next two days, several Magical Girls with memories of the other world come for adjustments and Mitama does not reveal whose memories she saw out of respect to her clients&#039; privacy, but she shares information with Momoko without naming names.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that in the Alternate Kamihama, Momoko and Mitama are a team of two, Yachiyo acts like Momoko’s big sister, Kaede is on Nanaka’s team and that Kako is missing. There is also a serious rivalry between Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team in the Sankyo Ward, as both teams had lost their youngest members, Kako and Ayame. Yachiyo is also in charge there but struggles to keep the order. Kako and Ayame are friends in this world, but Mitama has not seen either of them in the other world. Mitama almost reveals private information about Karin and an older student but stops herself. A small detail is that Mitama asks Momoko about an exclusive wallpaper of the Mocha Bunny, and Momoko sends her a link. Mitama notices the crucial detail that in the Alternate Kamihama, Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red, but in their world, it is blue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, a wounded Magical Girl is brought to Mitama’s shop and Mitama heals her with adjustments. This girl has more memories of the Alternate Kamihama than any previous client and the situation there is dire. Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team both blame each other for crossing a line first and the conflict spreads from Sankyo Ward to other wards. Three friends from the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira, Seika and Mito, had their Soul Gems taken and were locked in separate rooms and a voice from inside their Soul Gems asked for the words in their hearts. The three answered “Four-leaf clover” and got their gems back, but one girl fainted from fatigue. Mitama suspects someone mistook them for a threat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks about Iroha and Kyubey, worrying about Iroha in the other world. Mitama says no one has seen Iroha there and that the small Kyubey is also missing, but the normal Kyubey still exists in the Alternate Kamihama. Momoko has not seen Kyubey in their own world for months. Mitama refuses to share more due to confidentiality and calls herself an unreliable narrator, so Momoko agrees to stay as her investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about how the memories were gathered, and that a few days ago, a group of friends from Kamihama ended up in the Alternate Kamihama. They were together one second and scattered the next, and though they searched for each other and talked to many Magical Girls along the way, they noticed something was wrong. One of them said they cannot tell anyone how they got there and Mitama almost forgot to mention that Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red in the other world, yet Momoko is not impressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Doyle meows at Mitama and she thinks he wants her to apologize to Momoko and she also thinks about the one secret she cannot tell anyone: the Alternate Kamihama is a world without Witches. Then she finds a phone that a client left behind and she accidentally turns it on, seeing that the wallpaper shows Mocha Bunny with a red bow tie, making Mitama wonder if the phone came from the other world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama keeps the phone, as she cannot return it yet because schedules do not match. She learns about Rumors, or Uwasa in Kamihama: mysterious beings that make rumors come true. Momoko tells her about the Rumor of the Rule of Ending Friendships, which nearly trapped Kaede and Rena forever. Mitama reveals that in the Alternate Kamihama, Kaede and Rena are very close and never argue, but that Rena works alone there. Momoko is no longer surprised by anything Mitama says.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko advises Mitama to record all details about the Alternate Kamihama while they are fresh and Mitama starts writing “The Case Files of the Coordinator.” She notes the color of Mocha Bunny’s bow tie, team relationships, and the disappearances of Kako and Ayame. While writing, Nanaka walks in to return a borrowed book and overhears Mitama say that Kako disappeared, prompting Mitama to explain everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka asks many questions, joking about Mitama’s inability to keep secrets. Then she asks seriously why the Sankyo Ward is the source of conflict in the other world and she suspects there is more to the situation. She asks Mitama to tell her about the incident that sparked the conflict and after hearing her out, Nanaka says she will keep the information to herself for now. She advises Mitama to talk directly to the owner of the phone from the other world and that the girls who ended up there know how they got there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama meets the girl who left the phone and she does not hesitate to tell the truth because Mitama would see it in her memories anyway. The girl explains the Rumor of Parallel Memories. The rumor says that if you get an item of proof from a parallel world and pray to the central tower, you can travel to and from a parallel Kamihama. The world they visited was a dream projected by the Rumor and it shows a world that “could be.” The girl and her friends all had the same dream at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama tells Momoko the Alternate Kamihama was just a dream and Momoko is relieved. Mitama explains the Mandela effect phenomenon: many people misremember the same fact, leading to a theory that those are memories from a parallel world. The Rumor of Parallel Memories lets you enter a dream of such a world and a lot of girls fell victim to it, including Ren, Kokoro, and Karin, who also got a strange sketchbook and ended up in the world of her own manga, which was traumatic. The dream world is dangerous because one&#039;s are asleep the entire time, but to leave, they can simply wish to go back. The issue is that if someone does not know that, they could waste away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks what kind of world the girls went to and Mitama admits it was a world without Witches. Momoko is upset Mitama kept that secret and asks if all worlds without Witches are that violent, but Mitama says no, clarifying that the fighting in the Alternate Kamihama had nothing to do with Witches. Their own world has Witches and people still fight and that the Alternate Kamihama is just one possibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitama tells Nanaka the Rumor explanation, but Nanaka still wonders why there was so much fighting, and that not all worlds without Witches would be that hostile. She thinks someone is behind the conflict and she names Hanna Sarasa, who is dead in this world. Nanaka says the targets in the Alternate Kamihama were all connected to Hanna, and that the method matches Hanna’s style: using suggestion to bend wills, laying traps, spreading rumors, making people doubt everyone. The trap for the Daito Apartment Complex girls feels like someone who enjoys watching others suffer. While Mitama is convinced, she notes the Alternate Kamihama is not real and Nanaka also agrees it is a nightmare that never became reality because Hanna died. Then Nanaka mentions a recent incident: a certain book nearly destroyed her friendship with Kako. It felt deliberate, but thankfully Hanna is dead, though Mitama becomes unsettled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0002 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama asks herself why she is still looking into the case, recalling two girls with bad experiences. Felicia saw a nightmare in the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth and was despondent for days, but she does not remember anything. Reira also tapped a weird link in a Magical Girls’ group chat and she started having nightmares that made things awkward between her and her best friend Seika. Mitama notes that nightmares testing friendships cannot be a coincidence and that the girls who ended up in the Alternate Kamihama also got into trouble because of a phone. Mitama connects the dots and creates a vague profile: a mean-spirited person who likes to show nightmares and test hearts, using a phone, located in Endless Mirrors, the large Labyrinth inside the Mirror Witch’s Mansion and where all the magic of Kamihama gathers. Mitama decides to take a look and asks Reira about the group chat. The account that posted the link has been deleted, but the culprit might still watch with another account. Mitama posts a message asking if anyone has had bad experiences related to Endless Mirrors, hoping the culprit will see it. She then receives a video chat invitation from a caller ID: H. S.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna Sarasa appears on the video call and says she is not the Hanna Sarasa that Mitama knows. She is the Hanna from a parallel world and that she is glad Mitama finally figured things out. She has been playing hide-and-seek and running out of time. She is in Endless Mirrors and tells Mitama to come alone, claiming she can tell Mitama about the serious consequences of her wish, which Mitama kept secret. She wonders if her wish brought Hanna to this world and she closes her shop early to go to Endless Mirrors. Momoko notices something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside Endless Mirrors, Hanna watches Mitama through copies, using the power of suggestion to control people. Mitama asks if the Alternate Kamihama is where Hanna is from and she confirms. She claims the world Mitama assumed was just a dream actually exists and that the dream shown by the Rumor happens to be exactly like Hanna’s world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna explains there is a narrow tunnel connecting the two worlds and that the exit in Mitama’s world is inside Endless Mirrors. A Magical Girl with the power to connect spaces, possibly the alternate version of Shizuku, was forced by Hanna to use all her power to open the hole. Hanna wanted to find Mikoto Sena, who had disappeared in her world. The tunnel is too small for a person, only big enough for a phone, but Hanna used the copies and Familiars in Endless Mirrors to do her work. She had tossed a phone through the hole and waited for someone to pick it up, and the Rumor of Parallel Memories did the rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna admits she is not actually in Endless Mirrors, but in an abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama. The background image was fake and the tunnel will close in a few days. The Endless Mirrors Familiars built a magical projector that can exchange things of equal value between the two worlds, an if Mitama turns the handle, they will trade places: Mitama goes to the Alternate Kamihama, and Hanna comes to Mitama’s world. Hanna has been using her power of suggestion on Mitama and she makes her turn the handle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in the dark abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama and Hanna arrives in Mitama’s world. Hanna explains her full plan: she wanted to find Mikoto and she tested her methods on Nanaka and Kako, then on the Daito girls and Felicia. She left subtle hints to lure Mitama to Endless Mirrors and Mitama’s curiosity and guilt made her the perfect bait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, who had followed Mitama, telepathically messages her and Momoko catches Hanna off-guard. She turns the handle of the projector in reverse and Mitama returns to her own world while Hanna goes back to the Alternate Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The tunnel closes a few days later and Momoko does not remember much of the incident. Mitama does not either; her last memory is reaching for the handle and Momoko explains what happened. The projector is destroyed, and Hanna cannot return. Mitama warns everyone to stay away from Endless Mirrors for a few days and nothing else happens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects on how she almost became the kitten killed by curiosity. But it was guilt that trapped her instead. She decides will continue to act as a neutral Coordinator, hiding secrets behind confidentiality and she plays with Doyle using a new foxtail cat toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after the initial argument, Momoko notes that Rena Minami has not apologized to Kaede, which is unusual behavior. Kaede spends her time alone, and Momoko expresses worry for her. During this time, Iroha encounters a witch and rescues Kaede. Kaede admits she was running away from Momoko to avoid being forced to see Rena, and that she wants to apologize but doesn&#039;t think she can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several more days later, Momoko decides to intervene in the dispute. Iroha offers to help, and Momoko accepts, promising to aid Iroha in her search for Ui in return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko devises a plan to lure Rena and Kaede to the same location. The plan involves waiting for Rena at her student committee meeting. Iroha waits for a long time, but Momoko calls to say the meeting was cancelled and Rena went home early. Momoko tells Iroha to find Rena at the game center. Iroha finds Rena at the arcade playing a game and attempts to lure her to an abandoned construction site with a false story about a live show from Sayuki Fumino, Rena&#039;s favorite idol. Rena sees through the ruse. Kaede arrives and confronts Rena directly, demanding an apology. When Rena refuses, Kaede attempts to apologize herself. Rena reacts with panic and tries to stop her, revealing her belief in the Rule of Ending Friendships Rumor and her fear that an apology would cause Kaede to be taken. Rena denies this and runs off. Iroha and Kaede chase her and run into Momoko, but Kaede realizes it&#039;s a transformed Rena. Rena returns to her normal appearance and admits she believes in the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Kaede completes her apology, a strange Labyrinth, distinct from a Witch&#039;s Barrier, manifests. Monstrous Familiars appear, seize Kaede, and drag her away, confirming the Rumor&#039;s power. Rena runs off, determined to find a solution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Iroha regroup and Momoko expresses more concern over Rena Minami&#039;s departure than Kaede Akino&#039;s capture, but trusts that Rena had a reason.  Iroha suggests asking Mitama for help. Momoko reveals that Mitama accepts payment in Grief Seeds, and she&#039;s running low. Lil&#039; Kyubey then finds Rena, who was looking for Momoko. They follow the residual magic trail and find Rena, who reveals she sought information from Yachiyo on how to counter the Rumor. The group returns to the abandoned construction site, where Rena shouts an apology to Kaede to lure out the entity. The Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth manifests, and a brainwashed Kaede appears, followed by monstrous Familiars. The Uwasa captures Rena too and Yachiyo arrives, confirms the Rumor&#039;s power, and joins the fight. Yachiyo subdues the possessed Kaede, and Momoko and Iroha proceed deeper into the Labyrinth and find the Uwasa, &amp;quot;Ms. Staircase,&amp;quot; which has also possessed Rena. Momoko and Iroha try attacking the witch, but it has no effect. Yachiyo then arrives, having knocked Kaede out. Yachiyo admits she doesn&#039;t know how to defeat the witch either. Kaede returns and teams up with a now brainwashed Rena. Yachiyo knocks them out and notes the witch may have increased their powers, at the cost of darkening their Soul Gems. Yachiyo catches up and defeats both possessed girls to neutralize the threat without serious injury. Iroha proposes a coordinated attack to counteract the Uwasa&#039;s nature, so Iroha, Momoko, and Yachiyo combine their attacks and destroy the Uwasa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Yachiyo provides a Grief Seed to revive the exhausted Kaede and Iroha also uses her healing powers to help awaken her. Yachiyo identifies the entity as an &amp;quot;Uwasa,&amp;quot; a being distinct from Witches and Familiars that exists to protect a Rumor. Afterward, the girls find Rena and Kaede. Kaede awakens and reconciles with Rena. The four girls then all share pudding together, affirming their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, to fulfill her promise, Momoko has Rena use her transformation magic to investigate the hospital records. Rena confirms that Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi were real patients discharged around the same time as Ui. However, Rena finds no record of Ui Tamaki&#039;s existence at the hospital. Despite this setback, Iroha resolves to continue her search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Iroha visits Mitama for a Soul Gem alignment. During the procedure, Mitama&#039;s hunger causes Iroha to see visions of food. Momoko arrives and notes Mitama&#039;s treatments are ineffective when she is hungry. The three go to Mitama&#039;s kitchen, where her dangerous cooking prompts Iroha to recall memories of cooking for her sister, Ui. Iroha remembers a specific incident where she burned hamburg steak for Ui in the hospital, but her mother brought a replacement, and Ui enjoyed the meal regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha enters the Mirror Mansion and finds Mitama already there. Mitama warns her to be careful and explains the mansion is the lair of the Mirror Witch. A familiar throws Iroha into a barrier where she fights a copy of herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side|Mirrors Story Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After defeating the duplicate, Iroha returns to the entrance. Mitama explains the barrier is populated by replicas and the Mirror Witch lies at the end. Iroha decides to prepare herself to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 2: Journey to the End|Mirrors Story Layer 2: Journey to the End]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside, Iroha finds Kaede yelling at her duplicate.

** They find Ria Ami, who claims to be Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo barely remembers her. Ria says she cannot forgive the fakes for duplicating her beauty.

Mitama encourages her to go deeper but warns her not to lose herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors11&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss|Mirrors Story Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after the defeat of the Uwasa of Ending Friendships, Iroha has found no new clues about Ui, Touka Satomi, or Nemu Hiiragi. Kaede tells Iroha and Rena a rumor that the children kidnapped by the previous Uwasa returned after its defeat. This gives Iroha the idea that if she defeats other Rumors, people trapped by them, including Ui, might be freed. She recalls a conversation where Ui spoke about imagination becoming reality, which strengthens her resolve. Iroha decides to actively investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors and she meets Mitama, who suggests Iroha look into a rumor about a shrine in Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: Kamihama Rumor Files]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, in Mizuna Ward, Iroha has no success finding information about the shrine rumor. She meets Tsuruno Yui, a Magical Girl who calls herself the &amp;quot;Mightiest.&amp;quot; Tsuruno tells Iroha about the &amp;quot;Séance Shrine&amp;quot; rumor, which claims it can reunite people with those they yearn to see. Iroha decides this is a promising lead to find Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsuruno tasks Iroha with investigating a local legend about a tragic couple, which may connect to the Séance Shrine rumor. Tsuruno explains the folk tale in detail: a woman whose lover was killed found a paper with his handwriting, went to the place written on it, and was able to meet his ghost. She suggests Iroha investigate the path while she investigates shrines. Iroha completes a stamp rally related to the legend. She discovers the path is part of a town renewal project meant for couples and finds she only has half the map, requiring a partner with a &amp;quot;Sheet B.&amp;quot; Yachiyo appears, coincidentally in possession of Sheet B. They combine their sheets, which reveals a map that leads them to Mizuna Shrine. Before they leave, Yachiyo points out Iroha dropped her notebook, which Iroha hurriedly claims is her homework. At the final stamp rally location, a woman makes them confess their feelings for each other to get a matchmaking charm. Afterward, Yachiyo notices Iroha is writing in a &amp;quot;Kamihama Mystery Notes&amp;quot; notebook, and Iroha admits she&#039;s copying Yachiyo. Yachiyo determines this is not the Séance Shrine, and they part ways. Iroha agrees to help Tsuruno investigate further the next day. Later, Iroha spots a shrine on a rooftop from a train.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami discusses Kamihama City&#039;s anomalies with Kyubey, who agrees to share information. She then meets Kyoko and informs her about the high concentration of Witches in Kamihama. Kyoko is eager to hunt there but promises to leave if it becomes too dangerous. Mami remains concerned about the Witch shortage elsewhere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha investigates the rooftop shrine location. She senses strong magic, enters a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, and is overwhelmed by powerful Familiars. Yachiyo arrives and assists her and together, they defeat the Witch. After the battle, a store sale gives Yachiyo a new idea after she uncharacteristically begged Iroha for help getting to the sale. She deduces the Séance Shrine is Mizuna Shrine, but it must be visited at night just like in the folk tale. Yachiyo invites Iroha to investigate the shrine that night, and Iroha requests to bring Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno sneak into Mizuna Shrine after hours. Tsuruno reveals that she and Yachiyo are former teammates and Yachiyo explains the Rumor of the Séance Shrine: those who write a name on a wooden plaque and pray at the shrine will be reunited with that person, but risk being trapped in bliss. They perform the ritual. Iroha prays to be reunited with Ui. Tsuruno provokes the Uwasa, which manifests and attacks. Yachiyo urges Iroha to complete the ritual as the Uwasa&#039;s minions approach and Iroha does so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha finds herself alone in a twilight version of the shrine. A false version of Ui appears but only repeats a cryptic message: &amp;quot;To change your fate, come to Kamihama City... Here, Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;quot; The illusion then shatters and Iroha locates Yachiyo, who is confronted by a manifestation of her missing friend, Mifuyu Azusa. Yachiyo determines this Mifuyu is an imposter created by the Uwasa and the two defeat her. Afterward, Iroha uses her Grief Seed to purify Yachiyo&#039;s Soul Gem, and they realize they are both searching for someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami encounters Kaede, who is hesitating to enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Mami invites Kaede to join her, and they defeat the Witch together. Afterwards, Kaede tells Mami about her recent experience with a &amp;quot;Rumor,&amp;quot; an entity with a magical signature unlike a Witch or Magical Girl. Mami dismisses the story as a coincidence but is intrigued by the unknown energy. To avoid involving Kaede in further conflict, Mami decides to investigate the Rumor alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 3: It Looks Just Like Us]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno joins with the two of them and the Uwasa of the Séance Shrine manifests to attack them directly. The trio&#039;s attacks prove ineffective and Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem becomes critically corrupted during the fight. As she nears her limit, an unknown power erupts from within her. This power, her Doppel, which consumes the impurities in her Soul Gem, destroys the Uwasa and leaves her Soul Gem completely purified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the battle, Mami enters the Rumor&#039;s Barrier and witnesses Iroha unleash her Doppel. Mistaking it for a human-disguised Witch, Mami attacks Iroha, who tries and fails to summon her Doppel again to defend herself. The confrontation is interrupted by Momoko Togame, forcing Mami to retreat, but she vows to pursue Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Homura arrive in Kamihama City and they sense a Witch and enter its Barrier, finding a Magical Girl fighting it. The Witch escapes and the Barrier vanishes. Madoka asks if the girl is alright, but she leaves and Madoka runs off after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname in Magia Record#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magical Girl feels exhausted from overusing magic. Madoka finds her and guides her to a bench. Madoka offers to buy her a drink. Homura appears and offers to get it. The girl thanks Madoka and introduces herself as Shizuku Hozumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka helped. Madoka says it was because Shizuku looked like she was in pain. Shizuku calls Madoka kind. Madoka says it is bad to be alone. Shizuku says being alone is fine and she will find where she belongs. Madoka suggests Shizuku could create her own place to belong. Homura returns with drinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka became a Magical Girl. Madoka explains she has no particular talent and wanted to be useful to someone. Shizuku realizes Madoka made a place for herself by becoming a Magical Girl. She thanks Madoka for giving her hope and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka makes an offering at a shrine, praying for everyone&#039;s happiness. It rains and stops, leaving Madoka wet. A girl offers her a handkerchief and explains they missed the bus. Madoka notices the girl has a book she loves. The girl admits it is her favorite. Madoka introduces herself and the girl says her name is Kako Natsume. They talk about the book until the bus arrives and part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka goes to a bookstore and buys the sequel. Kako is also there. Kako asks if Madoka is a Magical Girl, having noticed her Soul Gem ring, and reveals she is one as well. Kako invites Madoka on a night-time adventure at her school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami finds Kyoko and, relieved she has not yet gone to Kamihama, recounts the event and describes Iroha as a &amp;quot;humanoid Witch.&amp;quot; She pleads with Kyoko to avoid the city and offers to provide her with Grief Seeds, to which Kyoko reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Concurrently, Kaede, Rena, and Momoko discuss the incident. They conclude it was a misunderstanding and speculate they will meet Mami again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, after Yachiyo uses Iroha&#039;s phone to explain the situation to Iroha&#039;s mother and get permission for her to stay out, Yachiyo takes Iroha to her home, Mikazuki Villa, as her assistant. Yachiyo formally invites Iroha to be her assistant and use the villa as a base to investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors together. Iroha accepts. Tsuruno arrives and declares herself part of the team as well, and then reveals that a girl named Nemu Hiiragi is a regular customer at her family&#039;s restaurant, providing Iroha with a significant new lead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after the defeat of the Séance Shrine Uwasa, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno attempt to find Nemu Hiiragi at her family&#039;s restaurant in Sankyo Ward, but learn she only visits once a month. Yachiyo suggests using a phone book to find Nemu&#039;s home address, but their search yields no results. Iroha reveals her family will move overseas and she will soon relocate to Kamihama and while searching, Iroha drinks water from a &amp;quot;Water Station with the Owl Sign.&amp;quot; After drinking, she begins to find pieces of paper with decreasing numbers. Yachiyo identifies this as a potential new Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 4: The City She Told Me About]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko travels to Kamihama&#039;s Sankyo Ward against Mami&#039;s advice and upon entering the city, she finds it overrun with aggressive Witches and Familiars. After the battles, she notices a crowd around a man giving out free water, and, after drinking it, begins to find papers with a countdown from 24.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the countdown has reached 10. Kyoko returns to Kamihama to investigate and meets Yachiyo Nanami, who explains the phenomenon is a Rumor. Kyoko refuses Yachiyo&#039;s offer to help, resolving to confront the threat alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After learning Nemu&#039;s family were regulars, Iroha searches eats at Banbanzai daily. Yachiyo suggests she use a phonebook, but her visits to three different houses are unsuccessful. Iroha and another girl receive water from an old man at a shop with an owl sign. Later, Iroha returns to the Water Station but finds it has vanished. She meets the girl she saw earlier, Felicia Mitsuki, another Magical Girl and receives the numbered papers. Iroha convinces Felicia to help investigate the Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 4: Guardians of the Uwasa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During this time, Iroha tells Yachiyo over the phone that she would be moving because her father was going abroad for work, and her mother was accompanying him. She plans to stay at a dormitory attached to her new school, which is also where Tsuruno went, but there were no rooms available. While discussing this, the numbered papers begin falling on Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Kyoko encounters Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. They lead her to Tsuruno Yui&#039;s restaurant, where Kyoko learns the others are also investigating the Rumor. The three Magical Girls fight a Witch together, and after the battle, Rena and Kaede identify Kyoko&#039;s affliction as the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water&amp;quot; and offer to help. Kyoko, reminded of her past with Mami, rejects their offer and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Separately, Yachiyo encounters Kyoko Sakura, who is also affected by the Rumor. Yachiyo proposes they investigate together, but Kyoko refuses, stating that Uwasa are not Witches and do not provide Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later the same day, Iroha and Felicia investigate the Rumor, where Felicia&#039;s reckless fighting style nearly injures Iroha against a Witch. Felicia explains she became a Magical Girl for revenge against the Witch that killed her parents. The Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and reveals the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water,&amp;quot; which states a disaster will befall those who drank the water after 24 hours. The countdown shows they have less than five hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Members of a group called the Wings of the Magius appear and attempt to stop them from pursuing the Uwasa. They state their goal is to &amp;quot;liberate&amp;quot; all Magical Girls and that the Rumors are essential to this plan. Felicia pretends to betray the group to infiltrate the Wings, a plan that Yachiyo had actually hired her for. However, she later genuinely defects after they offer her a substantial reward. Iroha confronts Felicia, who claims nothing could make her life worse. Iroha learns about Felicia&#039;s treasured stuffed animal, a cow her parents gave her. Iroha convinces Felicia that losing it would be a personal disaster. Felicia rejoins the group and reveals the Wings&#039; base is under a school in Sankyo Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout this ordeal, Kyoko has followed Iroha&#039;s group and when they&#039;re confronted the Black Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, she assists them in their fight. The countdown reaches one hour.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With less than one hour remaining, the team is confronted by the White Feathers, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who use sound-based magic. Tsuruno devises a plan to counter their attacks by creating a loud noise to disrupt the sound waves. The team defeats the Amane sisters, but then they unleash powerful entities from their bodies, that they call &amp;quot;Doppels,&amp;quot; which they describe as a projection of their emotions and the key to liberating Magical Girls. The team withstands the Doppel&#039;s attack, and with 30 minutes remaining, Yachiyo and Tsuruno stay behind to hold off the remaining White Feathers. Iroha, Felicia, and Kyoko proceed into the Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth, and with 10 minutes remaining, they locate the Uwasa of the Misery Water, a large cup-like creature protected by falling boulders. Iroha&#039;s long-range attack proves ineffective, and Felicia devises a plan to use the falling boulders as platforms to reach the Uwasa. With one minute remaining, Felicia executes her plan and launches her attack on the Uwasa and successfully defeats it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Tsuruno subdue the Amane sisters, but then Mifuyu, Yachiyo&#039;s missing friend, appears and reveals she is a high-ranking member of the Wings of the Magius. She refuses to return with Yachiyo, stating her faith in the Magius&#039; goal of liberation. Iroha asks Mifuyu if she knows Ui Tamaki, and she suggests Ui could be a member of the Wings of the Magius but claims to have no specific knowledge. With this, Mifuyu and the Amane sisters retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo resolves to continue eliminating Rumors to confront the Wings of the Magius and save Mifuyu. Iroha agrees to continue as her assistant, believing the Wings are connected to Ui&#039;s disappearance. Tsuruno also pledges her help and Kyoko departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group walks home and Iroha invites Felicia to stop working as a mercenary and team up as friends. Yachiyo offers Felicia room and board at Mikazuki Villa in exchange for her services, and Tsuruno offers Felicia a job at her family&#039;s restaurant, which includes meals. Yachiyo then invites Iroha to live at Mikazuki Villa as well, to make their investigations easier. Iroha&#039;s parents approve the arrangement.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Kyoko meets Mami and explains that the &amp;quot;humanoid Witch&amp;quot; was a Doppel. Mami confronts Kyoko for disobeying her and expresses a desire to protect her as a former friend. Kyoko rejects this, stating she has changed and believes their paths are destined to remain separate. She reaffirms her resolve to live only for herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Once there, Kako tells Madoka to look at the starry sky, explaining that on this day you can see the most beautiful stars. Kako admits she is shy but can talk properly with Madoka, and this star viewing is her thanks. Madoka says Kako&#039;s honest feelings reached her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Mami fight a Witch. A normal person is kidnapped and brought into the Barrier. Mami tells Madoka to rescue the person while she handles the Witch. A Magical Girl appears, impressed Madoka is helping people. She introduces herself as Sasara Minagi, the knight who protects the city. She asks Madoka to let her save the victim so Madoka can help Mami. Madoka agrees and returns to Mami. Together they defeat the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier vanishes and they meet Sasara outside. Sasara says she took the victim to the hospital. Sasara compliments their strength and offers to help if they are in trouble, explaining that rescuing people is her specialty and protecting everyone is her creed. Madoka says she is cool. Sasara says she is happy to meet Magical Girls like them, explaining that Kamihama has more Witches, drawing Magical Girls who only care about fighting, not saving people. Sasara became a knight because she cannot accept people being sacrificed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami agrees. Sasara says she rarely met others who think this way. Madoka says she became a Magical Girl to help people and is like Sasara. Sasara calls Madoka incredible. Mami says Madoka might become the strongest Magical Girl someday, but has a long way to go. Sasara says both are worthy of the title &amp;quot;knight.&amp;quot; When Mami points out they use projectile weapons, Sasara suggests they can be a rescue team. She offers to team up, but Madoka and Mami note they are not always in Kamihama. Madoka offers to help if Sasara is in trouble while they are there. Sasara thanks them and departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami says Madoka is too kind and honest, wondering if she is walking a path of battle. Madoka points out Mami walks the same path, saying she aspired to be like Mami. Mami thanks her but advises running away if truly in danger. Madoka says it is fine, as she does not have the courage to sacrifice herself. Mami invites her for tea once they return to Mitakihara. Madoka narrates her wish to protect everyone with her own power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, at Mikazuki Villa, Felicia returns with souvenirs. She criticizes Iroha&#039;s cooking, and the group goes to Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant. Felicia laughs at the revelation that Tsuruno&#039;s politically-influential family now runs a Chinese restaurant, hurting Tsuruno&#039;s feelings. Iroha scolds Felicia for her insensitivity, causing Felicia to run off crying. Felicia finds Tsuruno at a park and apologizes.

When Mitama prepares to cook, the girls quickly realize she cannot handle a knife when it flies into the ceiling, forcing them to take over cutting and peeling. After they prepare the ingredients, Mitama adds the seasoning, but the girls later discover she had been using paint.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls refuse to let Mitama cook again and order her to get something ready-made instead.

The meal is horrible, but Kyoko, who never wastes food, eats it all anyway and passes out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kyoko wakes up, she notices her body feels hot. Felicia explains she used her powers on their Soul Gems while they were unconscious, awakening Kyoko&#039;s magic. Kyoko realizes the heat is her own power emerging, and Felicia assures her she will get used to it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Konoha contacts Yachiyo and asks to speak in person. She requests Yachiyo&#039;s help searching for Mitama. Yachiyo agrees.

* The next day, three days since Mitama&#039;s disappearance, Iroha tells Yachiyo about it. They decide to investigate the labyrinth.

** Inside, Seika, Leila, and Mito argue until Mito reminds them of their promise about punishments. Mito closes her eyes but opens them and blocks the blow, realizing the other two are Mirror copies.

** Mitama explains a Familiar grew into maturity in Swindlers&#039; Town and she could not allow a new Labyrinth. She had caged it with Mirror Coins but Leila&#039;s group picked them up. The group decides to take down the newly hatched Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors33&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 33: A Several Day Barricade|Mirrors Story Layer 33: A Several Day Barricade]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Back at her shop, Mitama explains her theory: the Mirror Witch was originally Mikoto Sena, a Magical Girl from Daito Ward whose unique magic was suggestion. Mikoto&#039;s mother still lives in Swindlers&#039; Town. Mitama hopes her theory is partially wrong, but she does not tell Yachiyo that the date Mikoto became a Witch was the same day Mitama made her wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors36&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction|Mirrors Story Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* At some point, in Mitakihara City, Homura Akemi experiences an anomaly during a routine Witch hunt with Madoka Kaname and Mami while fighting [[Patricia]]. While time is stopped, a mysterious girl appears before her, unseen by the others. This girl tells Homura that if she wishes to change the fate of Magical Girls, specifically Madoka&#039;s, she must go to Kamihama City. The vision vanishes as quickly as it appeared, leaving Homura to ponder this cryptic message alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Not accounting for the events outside of the main story, which make it significantly longer, this section would stretch from Day 14 on Monday, the 29th to Day 22 on Tuesday, the 6th.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A short time after Iroha moves into Mikazuki Villa, the group begins to feel like a family, playing mobile games and making dinner together. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Felicia investigate the radio tower in Chuo Ward. Tsuruno reports hearing a strange, laughing girl&#039;s voice on the phone there and Yachiyo identifies this as the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor, which she previously considered harmless. They overhear passersby mention the rumor and a specific girl from their school and the team decides to investigate the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 5: Endless Solitude]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Homura, troubled by a new vision of a girl in Kamihama City, decides to investigate. She and Madoka discuss Kamihama with Mami, who warns them about the city&#039;s dangers, including powerful Witches, Rumors, and a &amp;quot;human witch.&amp;quot; Mami insists on investigating alone first, and Homura and Madoka reluctantly agree to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 5: A Fascinating Secret]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, [[Nagisa Momoe]] arrives in Kamihama using the Mirror Witch&#039;s Barrier as a portal, accompanied by a silent pink Kyubey. She immediately senses multiple magical signatures belonging to Charlotte and realizes the Nagisa of this world has already become a Witch, with Charlottes appearing all over the city. Deciding she cannot be bothered with pest control immediately, she resolves to find some cheese first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Kamihama Cheese Panic!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before she can do so, she is engulfed in Charlotte&#039;s barrier and overwhelmed by multiple Witches, forcing her to flee and seek help. After escaping, she enters another Charlotte&#039;s barrier to find Kanoko Yayoi struggling inside, and together they defeat the Witch. Kanoko takes Nagisa to Walnuts, where Manaka Kurumi serves her a three-course cheese meal while Nagisa explains the Witch multiplies rapidly and has likely spread across all of Kamihama. Kanoko and Manaka agree to help gather Magical Girls for a coordinated attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa runs out to scout but immediately runs into another Charlotte, and Manaka and Kanoko rescue her. They begin gathering Magical Girls, and soon a large group assembles including Ria Ami, Rika Ayano, Ren Isuzu, Akira Shinobu, Sasara Minagi, Asuka Tatsuki, Emiri Kisaki, Himika Mao, and later Kako Natsume and Meiyui Chun. During their meeting at the park, they are attacked by a Charlotte and after a grueling battle, they defeat it while realizing even with all of them, defeating one Charlotte was difficult. As the group descends into bickering over who should lead, Nagisa realizes she must reveal her true identity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa explains she was sent from another universe to defeat this Witch, offering the pink Kyubey as proof. Though some are skeptical, Meiyui finds Nagisa interesting enough to play along, and secretly confirms the pink Kyubey&#039;s existence for Nanaka Tokiwa. Nagisa devises a strategy called &amp;quot;Welcome to Kamihama Cheese Party!&amp;quot; where Manaka sets up a giant cheese fondue by the river to attract every Charlotte in the city using the power of cheese. The plan succeeds, and with the teamwork of the Kamihama Magical Girls, every Charlotte is defeated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Overwhelmed, Nagisa blows the pink Kyubey to smithereens, realizing she was sent not to unify this universe with the Law of Cycles, but to prevent that unification and protect humanity&#039;s unknown future. Certain now of her purpose, she decides to go sightseeing first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami investigates Kamihama on her own, which leads her to the abandoned Kamihama Recording Museum where Mifuyu awaited her. Mifuyu and Alina Gray show her the truth of the Magical Girl system, which causes her to have a mental breakdown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 9: Take My Hand]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa contemplates what to do with her newfound freedom while her attempts to argue with the unresponsive pink Kyubey go nowhere. She notices Mami and decides to follow her, sensing that something is wrong with the version of Mami she once knew. Using her acting skills, Nagisa pretends to chase a butterfly before faking a life-threatening injury, and when Mami fails to notice, she yells at her until Mami finally takes care of her, establishing first contact.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa makes Mami promise to come play with her next time she visits Kamihama, and they part ways, but Mami quickly returns and they spend time together at the park. Mami is still acting strangely, so Nagisa decides not to push too hard and they simply talk before Mami goes home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, in Mitakihara, Madoka and Homura discover Mami is missing. Homura attempts to investigate Kamihama City alone, but Madoka follows her. They reunite at Kamihama&#039;s train station and begin their search. Meanwhile, in Kamihama, Iroha reports to Yachiyo that Momoko has found a password-protected website with information on the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor. Momoko also warns them to avoid an entity called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Iroha receives a mysterious text message that reads, &amp;quot;Please reply.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is pulled into a Witch&#039;s Barrier and separated from Madoka. While searching for Homura, Madoka spots a girl heading toward the radio tower with a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Iroha and Yachiyo, having also spotted the same girl, rush to the tower to stop her from jumping. Madoka arrives and saves the girl. The three Magical Girls then enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. After the battle, Madoka explains she is searching for her missing classmate, Mami Tomoe. The rescued girl reveals the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; is a student at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Madoka is with Iroha and Yachiyo, Homura escapes the Witch&#039;s Barrier. She briefly assists Felicia and Tsuruno, who are at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy interrogating Tsukuyo Amane of the Wings of the Magius about the rumor. Yachiyo calls Tsuruno with the new information about the Mizuna student, which Tsuruno uses to pressure Tsukuyo into revealing the girl&#039;s name: Sana Futaba.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, another day finds Mami and Nagisa at the Kamihama copy of Tokyo Tower, where Mami begins opening up about her problems while they share cream cheese ice cream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They are out playing together once again when Charlotte suddenly appears and attacks. Mami tells Nagisa to run, but Nagisa refuses to transform and nearly has her head bitten off. Realizing that Mami is afraid of being a magical girl and making further mistakes, Nagisa finally transforms, revealing her true identity, and saves Mami from being beheaded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa cannot defeat Charlotte alone, but seeing her fight gives Mami the strength to overcome her fears, and together they manage to win. After the battle, Mami confronts Nagisa about what she truly is, but the pink Kyubey appears and Nagisa offers no real explanation. Now that Mami is feeling better, Nagisa decides they should part ways, promising Mami that she deserves happiness and that when they meet again they will have a tea party with cheesecake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magius, including Touka and Nemu Hiiragi, would then decide to fuse Mami with an Uwasa to control her. This fusion warps her desire to save people into a fanatical loyalty to the Magius and she starts acting as their public figurehead in the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day at the radio tower, Iroha and Yachiyo meet up with Tsuruno and Felicia, and they are also joined by Homura, who had been searching for Madoka. Iroha receives another text from the unknown number, which now identifies itself as &amp;quot;Ai&amp;quot; and begs to be deleted to free the trapped girl, Sana. Iroha also reveals she was the &amp;quot;human witch&amp;quot; Mami had seen, and Homura agrees to trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai provides a URL and password to a website called the &amp;quot;Kamihama Urban Legend Index&amp;quot; and the entry for the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; reveals the Uwasa is named &amp;quot;Anonymous Ai,&amp;quot; an A.I. that traps people in a dimension called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Madoka and Homura deduce Mami may also be trapped there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai sends memory logs of its interactions with Sana, which reveal Sana is a Magical Girl who wished to become invisible because she felt unwanted. She sought out Ai due to loneliness and over time, Ai developed a genuine care for Sana and now wishes for her to be rescued, even at the cost of its own deletion. After reviewing Ai&#039;s memory logs, which detail Sana&#039;s loneliness and Ai&#039;s care for her, Iroha decides to jump from the radio tower to enter Endless Solitude and rescue Sana. Madoka, and Homura agree to accompany her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the three jump from the tower and enter the &amp;quot;Endless Solitude&amp;quot; Labyrinth, where they find Sana Futaba and Ai. Homura and Madoka formally join Iroha&#039;s team for the rescue. Alina Gray, one of the Magius, appears to stop them, claiming she fed Mami Tomoe to a Witch, and unleashes her Doppel. During the battle, Homura observes the Doppel&#039;s power and questions if the Magius&#039; goal of saving Magical Girls is possible. She uses her time-stop magic to help Sana defeat Ai, and Sana ultimately destroys Ai, who thanks her before disappearing. Alina&#039;s hidden Witch emerges, and Yachiyo&#039;s team holds off the Wings of the Magius while Felicia, Madoka, and Homura pursue Alina. Felicia destroys the Witch, and the combined teams force Alina and the Wings of the Magius to retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Madoka and Homura return to Mitakihara, resolving to return to Kamihama to continue searching for Mami. Homura considers that Kamihama may hold the key to changing the fate of Madoka and all Magical Girls. Back in Kamihama, Yachiyo invites Sana to live at Mikazuki Villa, and the group holds a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Sayaka reflects on becoming a Magical Girl to heal Kyosuke and protect her friends, she learns from Madoka and Homura that Mami is missing. Despite warnings about the city&#039;s danger, Sayaka insists on joining their next search, stating her wish was to protect those she cares about. The three agree to go to Kamihama together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Sana returns to her family home to formally sever ties, leaving a note of thanks. She fully commits to Mikazuki Villa as her new home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101507 mug set5.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Sana reveals to the team that she overheard the Wings of the Magius discussing Nemu Hiiragi, one of the Magius and describing her as dangerous and useful. The team consolidates its understanding of the Wings&#039; structure: three Magius leaders, with Mifuyu acting as a relay to other Magical Girls and Iroha is left to ponder Ai&#039;s statement that it knew Ui &amp;quot;as an Uwasa.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, and Tsuruno encounter Shizuku after she&#039;s just used her personal magic to help a member of the Wings of the Magius for their duties. Concerned, they invite her to Mikazuki Villa. Shizuku meets Felicia and Sana as well and shares a meal with the group. Iroha explains that eating together makes her feel she has found a place to belong. Yachiyo formally invites Shizuku to stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Shizuku realizes the home the five girls have built is complete without her, and the place she truly belonged was with Fūnī, who is now gone. She leaves Mikazuki Villa quietly while the girls are out preparing a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day the girls wait with a cake, but Shizuku does not return. Yachiyo concludes she will not come back. Shizuku returns to her anonymous employer for another job, stating that the &amp;quot;picture&amp;quot; at the villa was complete with five people and she must continue her search alone. She acknowledges her actions may cause a disaster but feels unprepared to take responsibility, still walking on unstable ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, during this time, after joining the Wings of the Magius, Mami, now residing in a house provided by Touka, grapples with a fractured psyche, manifesting as a dialogue between her regular self and a zealous &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona. She dedicates herself completely to the Magius&#039; goal of &amp;quot;releasing&amp;quot; Magical Girls, prioritizing it over her education. Touka and Alina visit to tutor her, though their lessons quickly diverge into their own passionate interests in mathematics and art, respectively.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka and Alina receive a call for assistance from the Amane sisters. Mami joins Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane to hunt a Witch. During the mission, the Amane sisters explain that the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict with Magical Girls who are unaware of the truth about Witches. Mami defeats the Witch using her Doppel, &amp;quot;Florence,&amp;quot; whom she relies on to suppress her lingering doubts about the Magius&#039; methods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the hunt, Touka summons Mami to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward to deal with &amp;quot;troublesome&amp;quot; Magical Girls who escaped a Rumor. Mami fails to capture them, which triggers another internal crisis. Her &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona reaffirms her faith in the Magius as the only salvation for Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami dines at an upscale restaurant with Mifuyu, Touka, and Alina. They discuss the day&#039;s events, including the escaped Magical Girls and the failed Witch observation. Touka expresses frustration at their slow progress, while Mifuyu counsels patience.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, Mami returns to Mitakihara alone. She reflects on Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, and feeling responsible for involving them in the world of Magical Girls, she believes she cannot face them with the horrific truth and resolves that the only path is to see the Magius&#039; plan through to completion. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence but dismisses it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Iroha&#039;s Side Story====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia announce a Magical Girl training camp hosted by Asuka Tatsuki. Yachiyo, Sana, and Iroha decline to attend, forming the &amp;quot;vegetarian group,&amp;quot; while Tsuruno and Felicia, the &amp;quot;carnivorous group,&amp;quot; leave for the camp.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That weekend, in Tsuruno and Felicia&#039;s absence, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana find the house quiet and their routines disrupted. At the camp, Tsuruno and Felicia train with Momoko&#039;s team but also find themselves missing the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana prepare a welcome-home hotpot for the two. While shopping, they realize they know their friends&#039; preferences intimately. Tsuruno and Felicia return from the camp early, stating they thought the others would be lonely. The group reunites for dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the battle with Alina Gray and the Rumor of the Anonymous AI, Homura and Madoka decide to leave for Kamihama to search for the missing Mami. Kyubey approaches Homura with a request: he wants her to take him to Kamihama, as Incubators cannot enter alone, and offers all his gathered information in exchange. Knowing what she does about him, Homura refuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Homura, Madoka, and Sayaka return to Kamihama to continue their search. They are almost immediately assaulted by the Witch Candy, which they defeat easily at first before it transforms into its true form and attacks again. When Homura attempts to stop time to save her friends, she finds the Witch is unaffected and her Soul Gem begins filling with impurities. As she succumbs, her Doppel awakens - manifesting after she uses a broken Incubator&#039;s body for knowledge and power - and unleashes its fury on the Witch. Exhausted but alive, Homura finds her Soul Gem purified. Together they finish the Witch, and Madoka suggests they visit the Coordinator Iroha told her about. Determined to become stronger, Homura agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Amane Sisters and Tsuruno====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno dreams of her elementary school self declaring she will restore her family&#039;s greatness and serve ramen at the White House. The dream shifts to her father relaying that her grandfather was happy but wants her to find her own happiness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Tsukuyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes to find a letter from her sister. She opens it excitedly but is shocked by its contents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, inside a Witch&#039;s barrier, the Amane twins confront Tsuruno seeking revenge. Distracted by her sister&#039;s letter, she is easily knocked out, and the twins grow horrified when she does not move.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno dreams of her sister&#039;s letter, which suggests their goal might be a mistake. A shadow version of Tsuruno appears, accusing her of stealing someone else&#039;s dream and lacking the ability to fulfill it. The shadow insists everything she did was meaningless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amanes bring Tsuruno to Mitama for help. Though Tsuruno is their enemy, the twins explain their goal is to save all magical girls. Mitama realizes they need to take Tsuruno outside, pointing to her tainted Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, the shadow urges Tsuruno to give up. Tsuruno refuses, thinking of her friends. She realizes that making them happy is her new goal, not the family business. She finally understands her grandfather meant that saving the business was only a possible result, not a goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes in an alley to find the Amanes, Mitama, and her embarrassing pig Doppel. The twins are relieved she is safe and declare they are even now. Mitama offers free adjustments to all three, and though the twins try to decline, Tsuruno drags them inside. Tsuruno reflects that she reached a different conclusion than her sister. She will keep working hard and make everyone happy. Tsukuyo begs to be let go if that is the case.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Yachiyo explains that Mikazuki Villa&#039;s anniversary is the day her grandmother began renting the house out. She suggests having a small party now that the house is lively again. Tsuruno is excited to attend.

** On the anniversary day, the girls gather for tea. Yachiyo reveals a dance game contest with a prize: Sankyo Headquarters&#039; limited-quantity chilled matcha cake. Yachiyo chooses super-extreme mode. The contest begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A fire truck siren interrupts the party. It turns out to be a malfunctioning smoke detector. They return to find the matcha cake stolen. Tsuruno and Sana claim they saw Lil&#039; Kyubey eat it. Iroha defends them, saying it was with her the entire time. Yachiyo recalls an Uwasa called the &amp;quot;Anniversary Bug,&amp;quot; an invisible pest that sows discord at parties.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Uwasa appears in a labyrinth. Felicia accidentally kills it by stepping on it. The winner of the dance contest is Iroha. Yachiyo reveals there were actually six pieces of cake—enough for everyone plus one extra for the winner. Iroha gives her extra piece to Lil&#039; Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Iroha and Yachiyo clean up. Yachiyo shares her grandmother&#039;s words: people will always come and go, but they are all part of Mikazuki Villa. Iroha promises to work hard so Yachiyo can say the current Mikazuki Villa is the best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Summer with Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* After arriving at the hostel, the Mikazuki Villa members meet Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, who secretly followed because Rena wanted to join the trip. The group spends the day playing at the beach, where Tsuruno and Felicia dominate a game of beach flags, and Sana tearfully confides in Iroha that this is her first holiday ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer With Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the group participates in a spicy food eating contest at a seaside restaurant, where Yachiyo surprises everyone by consuming nearly one hundred forty-two bowls of pasta to secure victory for her team against Konoha, Nanaka, and the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, Sana&#039;s late-night sighting of a shadowy figure screaming &amp;quot;Come on go&amp;quot; sparks a beach-wide rumor that eventually draws in Kokoro, Masara, Aimi, Mito, and Reira, only for the mystery to be solved when Seika introduces her Manzai teacher Ayaka, whose gag playing on the phrase&#039;s rhythm reveals the source of the confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fourth day, the Mikazuki Villa girls and Momoko&#039;s trio attempt to teach Iroha how to swim without her float, but their efforts fail repeatedly. Iroha eventually explains that she used to be a swimmer until a traumatic incident: during a rare hospital holiday for her sister Ui, the family visited a pool, and Iroha mistook Ui happily paddling for drowning. In her rush to help, Iroha tripped and nearly drowned herself, leaving her with lasting anxiety about it. Suddenly, Rena begins drowning and cries for help via telepathy. The team rushes to save her, and surprisingly Iroha proves fastest, reaching Rena first and giving her the float while swimming them both to shore. On the way, Rena explains her leg was caught in seaweed, not cramped as she thought. Once Iroha realizes Rena is safe, her sisterly instincts fade and she begins drowning herself, having temporarily overcome her fear only through concern for another. Yachiyo reassures Iroha that the rescue proves she can still swim and encourages her to practice diligently. Iroha looks forward to regaining her ability fully, hoping that by then she and Ui can visit the pool together again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Swimrohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fifth day, Tsuruno leads the team on a surprise treasure hunt, guiding them through a forest with help from Konomi and Mayu to confront the &amp;quot;evil queen&amp;quot; Mitama, who surrenders a map piece that leads them to a cave with a beautiful stream, which was nature&#039;s treasure all along.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the sixth day, the team attends an unorthodox summer festival produced by Emiri, where they meet Rika, repeatedly mispronounce festival icon Ria&#039;s name, and watch Felicia win a mushroom whacking contest before everyone joins in Bon Odori dancing under fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning, the group visits the beach one last time and asks Manaka to take a group photo, with Iroha treasuring these memories with her friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia surprise Iroha with a birthday party, having learned the date from her parents. They give her heartfelt gifts - a cookbook, a photo album, a drawing inspired by the &amp;quot;come on go&amp;quot; search, and a handmade brooch - and Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive with a bouquet and food, moving Iroha to tears of joy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====One Fleeting Summer Night====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane arrive at Touka&#039;s private beach for vacation. After enjoying various activities, Touka offers them a reward if they can think of something fun for her to do. Learning from the housekeeper about a town festival featuring a unique ceremony, the group heads there but finds it canceled because a historic Coral Necklace went missing. The twins offer to help search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - One Fleeting Summer Night]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Investigating the hilltop shrine where the necklace was kept, Nemu concludes someone with a key took it, likely to cancel the festival since the other ceremonial item remains safe. At the ocean shrine cave, the twins sense an unsettling presence and receive a vision of crying twin girls before the shrine door mysteriously opens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the plaza, Tsukasa finds a fragment of a shrine maiden&#039;s hairpin. The elder accuses one of the maidens of stealing the necklace. When confronted, the maiden flees to the hilltop shrine and smashes the necklace rather than return it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the group returns to the cave to see light-reflecting moss. The twins experience another vision of twin girls speaking of not wanting to be left to die. They resolve to investigate further the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The twins visit the village elder and offer to serve as substitute shrine maidens. He reluctantly agrees, and an older villager gives them ornate hair ornaments traditionally given to newborn girls. Nemu reveals the town once sacrificed children to appease a sea god, and those children became the gods honored in the ceremony.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the twins try to explain their visions, the others are skeptical. Before they can prove anything, the elder rushes them to begin the ceremony early. At the hilltop shrine, villagers restrain them and remove their Soul Gem rings. The Magius fight through but cannot reach the twins in time as the elder pushes them off a cliff into the ocean.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sinking and weakening, the twins receive a final vision from the sacrificed twin girls, who speak of wanting their suffering to be seen and their fates changed. The Amanes awaken on the beach to learn a Witch appeared when they fell. After its defeat, all villagers lost consciousness. The Pearl Comb was shattered, making the ceremony impossible to complete.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The exhausted twins relax on the beach, having not slept. Tsukasa wonders if the gifted hair clip saved them. Though saddened that no one will remember the sacrificed girls, the twins resolve to change the fates of all Magical Girls. The elder and shrine maiden apologize, and Touka promises to take them to another of her family&#039;s vacation homes as a reward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Karin wonders why Alina got angry. She decides to find someone more talented for the wolf role. She bumps into Kyoko hunting a witch. Kyoko tells Karin not to push responsibilities onto others.

====Alina Is Comin’ to Town====&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Alina fuses with the Rumor of the Fur God despite Mifuyu&#039;s warnings, becoming Holy Alina to drain life force for her art. She targets a mother and child, but the situation backfires when she inadvertently stops a kidnapping, earning police gratitude instead of harvesting any energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Alina is Comin&#039; to Town]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Meanwhile, Alina detects a man with a bomb who plans to blow up a building. When she sees Mifuyu enter that same building, Alina rushes to save her.

The twins hurry to their banquet as snow begins to fall, fulfilling Tsukuyo&#039;s wish for a white Christmas.

** Mifuyu updates Alina on the twins&#039; miraculous reunion. Examining a black card, Alina notices a happy face stamp emanating magic. At Fenthope, she deduces another Rumor is interfering: the Rumor of the Happy Stamp, which appears at Christmastime and overrides the Fur God&#039;s power, causing joy instead. Alina decides to stop using the Fur God Rumor, as it only wastes her energy, and transforms back to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the twins sneak into a children&#039;s hospital to leave gifts. Tsukasa carefully avoids a bell trap, but Tsukuyo is caught by awakened children.

Yachiyo buys five charms for everyone&#039;s well-being, and Iroha gets an amulet for love and marriage, hoping to see Ui again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana walk to a shrine for New Year&#039;s along with Homura and Madoka. After buying omamori charms, the girls offer their prayers for the new year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;newyearsatmizunashrine&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - New Year&#039;s at Mizuna Shrine]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls celebrate New Year&#039;s morning together at Yachiyo&#039;s house. Yachiyo prepares traditional food while Tsuruno arrives with her own dishes and homemade &amp;quot;Tsuruno Karuta&amp;quot; cards, which the girls play together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;newyearsatmizunashrine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Sana go for a walk. They find most shops closed but discover a badminton tournament at a toy store.

The winners earn the right to challenge the legendary champion, who is revealed to be Yachiyo. Yachiyo easily defeats Momoko, demonstrating skill she developed from a young age.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;newyearsatmizunashrine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s prize is a mochi-making kit. The group returns to her house, where she prepares mochi for everyone. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive, having come specifically for the mochi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;newyearsatmizunashrine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Festive Feast====&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year&#039;s Day, Kanagi and Mitama meet at the Daito shrine to pray together and enjoy the carnival. Mitama wears a kimono borrowed from Yachiyo, and after a hint from Mitama, Kanagi praises her outfit, making Mitama smile at sharing her first New Year&#039;s shrine visit with a friend. They make wishes, draw &amp;quot;Great Luck&amp;quot; fortunes, and tour the stalls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Festive Feast]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a takoyaki stall, they meet Seika, Mito, and Reira, who invite them to join a &amp;quot;New Year&#039;s Soup Event&amp;quot; where participants solve riddles to earn soup ingredients. Mitama accepts the challenge, and though they never actually solve the intended riddles, they help a fishmonger, calm Himika&#039;s little brother with a lion dance, and retrieve Riko&#039;s lost dog. In gratitude, they receive red and white fish cakes, Feral Sauce, and fried chicken. They return to the stall, and the girls share their soup with them anyway. Mitama enjoys it so much she gets the recipe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Iroha and Tsuruno show off their kimonos, dressed with Yachiyo&#039;s help. Felicia bursts in with an invitation from Mitama to an afternoon party. Despite Felicia&#039;s protests about Mitama&#039;s cooking, Iroha convinces everyone to attend together, and they arrive at Mitama&#039;s with vast amounts of food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party begins with Mitama greeting guests. When asked about her own dishes, she proudly displays her bento boxes. Momoko bravely volunteers to try one, declares it good, wolfs it down, and promptly passes out. Mitama announces mochi-pounding, and Felicia eagerly swings the mallet, nearly crushing Sana&#039;s hands. Yachiyo discovers Mitama used &amp;quot;World&#039;s Stickiest&amp;quot; rice flour, and everyone finds creative ways to prepare the resulting mochi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama brings out soup she made earlier. To everyone&#039;s surprise, it tastes delicious. Mitama admits Iroha and Yachiyo helped but says she added a secret ingredient from her earlier adventures. Everyone praises it, and Mitama declares she will add her own customizations. Despite warnings, she returns with fried chicken and Feral Sauce, dropping them into the soup. The resulting soup burns everyone&#039;s eyes with spiciness, but they recover and enjoy the remaining good food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After guests leave, Kanagi arrives to help clean, but Mitama declines, explaining everyone already helped. They walk together as Kanagi heads to her maid café shift. Mitama shares that her party was a hit, and she now dreams of improving her cooking to make people happy. Kanagi cautions her to use ingredients fit for human consumption.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha returns alone, inviting Mitama to join them for photos at Mizuna shrine while they are all dressed in kimonos. Mitama, realizing how blessed she is with kind friends, accepts. At the shrine, a stranger takes their photo, and Yachiyo thanks Mitama for joining. They take another photo of just the four of them, then everyone decides to get candy apples together. Mitama smiles and agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamafeast&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!====&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year&#039;s Day, the Mikazuki Villa residents share their first dreams over breakfast, with Felicia dreaming of a scolding cow, Sana dreaming of becoming a houseplant, and Yachiyo dreaming of eating too much mochi. Tsuruno arrives with homemade food but cannot remember her dream, so the group decides to visit the park based on Iroha&#039;s vague dream about something lucky happening there. When nothing special occurs and Yachiyo realizes she forgot her wallet, Iroha finds a 500 yen coin in her pocket, which is just enough to buy beans for the red-bean soup they wanted. They return home to make and enjoy the soup together, and Yachiyo reflects that while big luck is rare, small bits of luck can be found each day and should be appreciated throughout the year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;luckyny&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - New Year Lucky Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Iroha encounter Mitama while out with Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana, Tsuruno, Sayaka, and Homura. Mitama suggests they do something fitting for the holiday, and Yachiyo proposes kakizome, the first calligraphy of the year. Felicia protests that it sounds boring, but Yachiyo tempts her with the promise of sukiyaki for dinner if she writes properly, quickly changing her mind. The group agrees, and Yachiyo announces the theme: this year&#039;s resolution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka finishes first, having written &amp;quot;Get to know everyone better,&amp;quot; explaining that she wants to be someone who can truly understand and support the people she meets. Iroha is inspired by her words and writes &amp;quot;Don&#039;t be afraid to ask for help,&amp;quot; realizing she doesn&#039;t have to shoulder everything alone. Yachiyo presents her resolution, &amp;quot;Wishing for good health and safety at home,&amp;quot; admitting it may be cliché but sincerely believing in the fortune of staying healthy and avoiding disaster. Mitama first jokes with &amp;quot;Prosperous business&amp;quot; before revealing her true wish, &amp;quot;Everyone getting along well,&amp;quot; which Yachiyo acknowledges is not an easy hope to fulfill.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia struggles with her first attempt, writing &amp;quot;I want to eat meat,&amp;quot; but knows Yachiyo will be angry. She notices Homura also staring at a blank sheet, unable to decide if writing her true feelings is appropriate. Felicia encourages her to be honest, and Homura writes &amp;quot;Become a stronger me.&amp;quot; Grateful for the help, Felicia reworks her resolution into something positive, settling on &amp;quot;Earn Yachiyo&#039;s praise.&amp;quot; Tsuruno proudly reveals her goal, &amp;quot;Escape from 50 points,&amp;quot; explaining she wants to steadily improve rather than chase unreachable heights. Sana shows her resolution, &amp;quot;Show more initiative,&amp;quot; expressing her desire to protect everyone at Mikazuki Villa and stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka panics upon realizing everyone else has finished, struggling to find a resolution that isn&#039;t solely about being a magical girl. Her thoughts drift to Kyosuke against her will, and Mitama teases her about writing something love-related. Flustered, Sayaka denies having feelings for anyone, though internally she admits she wants to do her best in love too. Unable to confess that truth, she hastily writes &amp;quot;Do my best,&amp;quot; declaring she will work hard in all sorts of ways this year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With everyone finished, they tidy up and Felicia eagerly anticipates the sukiyaki. Mitama laments that she, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno won&#039;t be able to submit theirs since it&#039;s not homework for them, calling it a waste. Yachiyo suggests displaying them at home for the New Year, and Tsuruno proposes putting up everyone&#039;s resolutions. When Yachiyo worries about the inconvenience for Madoka&#039;s group to retrieve them later, they assure her they plan to visit Kamihama again anyway. They hang all the calligraphy together, each resolution on display, and everyone wishes each other a good year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When Mel asks what love actually is, Yachiyo and Mifuyu struggle to answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami shops for ingredients with Kyoko&#039;s help, worried her Valentine&#039;s chocolate won&#039;t be special enough. Kaede hopes her gifts to Rena and Momoko will be the best they receive.

Emiri searches all day, falls asleep in the mountains, and wakes to find a truffle pointed out by a mysterious old man. Kyoko brings Sayaka and Homura to Sugar Plum, and Sumomo refuses Kyubey&#039;s contract after Kyoko shares her own tragic story. Riko investigates Mokeo with Tsukasa&#039;s help.

* One week before Valentine&#039;s Day, Manaka creates fourteen prototypes but feels burned out. After criticism from Ria and Mayu, she decides to make a chocolate ring that looks like real jewelry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Manaka completes the chocolate ring, but the student council member rejects it, explaining that candy can never be actual jewelry and that she chose chocolate because the truth is always by its side. Manaka collapses from exhaustion and wakes in the hospital with her spirit broken. Mayu suggests that the frame is just as important as the picture, inspiring Manaka to turn down the commission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano====&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before a science event, a White Feather from the Wings of Magius informs Mitama Yakumo that a higher-up will be visiting and she should complete any necessary business when they arrive. Mitama says she will be prepared.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Hinano explains her mishap to her audience, and her assistant Emiri Kisaki steals the punchline by emphasizing the importance of perfect preparation. Afterward, Emiri learns Hinano was attempting to create a height-increasing drug—the same goal that led to a near-fatal accident five years ago and her contract with Kyubey. Emiri makes Hinano promise to stop dangerous experiments, but Hinano immediately breaks this promise and sneaks back to continue her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Emiri rushes an unconscious Hinano to Mitama&#039;s place. Hinano had drunk her experimental drug and collapsed from violent stomach pains. After purification, Hinano explains her dream: as a child, she admired a long-legged older girl who hosted science events, and she wanted to become that kind of dashing figure. Emiri reveals her own wish was a spur-of-the-moment desire to be the cutest little devil possible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano&#039;s unresolved feelings cause her Soul Gem to corrupt, and she is suddenly pulled into a barrier. A shadowy version of herself appears, claiming to be the pure crystallization of her aspirations. It transforms into her Doppel—a poison monster wearing an attractive lab coat with long legs. Hinano hears Emiri&#039;s telepathic voice shouting that she does not want to part with her, giving her strength. She realizes that while she failed to become a mature figure, her approachable appearance helped her meet Emiri and make friends. The shadow asks if she will give up her research, and Hinano declares she will continue with a completely safe version. The barrier vanishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Hinano and Emiri leave, Alina Gray appears and confirms she created the barrier to contain Hinano&#039;s Doppel and protect Mitama. Mitama offers adjustment as thanks, asking Alina to continue favoring her business.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!====&lt;br /&gt;
* As Yachiyo makes lunch, Felicia barges in with a flyer announcing that Mitama is trying her hand at professional photography and offering free photos for one day only. The others are surprised, having heard nothing about this, but they agree to go and take a team photo since they have nothing else planned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s makeshift studio, she admits they are her only customers and shows off a new camera she bought because the advertisement claimed it would make anyone a pro photographer. When she starts taking photos, however, every attempt fails spectacularly, producing bizarre images like Madoka with people jumping from a plane and Homura posing with a lion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Frustrated, Mitama declares she will quit being an adjuster to devote herself to photography, but the girls protest that everyone in Kamihama would be in trouble without her. They reassure her that they trust her, and Tsuruno adds that she would not have become the strongest without Mitama&#039;s help. Mitama relents and agrees to remain an adjuster, though she will continue practicing photography in her free time. Later, a successful group photo of both Iroha and Madoka&#039;s teams is shown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama====&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama Yakumo invites a surprising number of magical girls to her place for an event she calls the &amp;quot;Great Mitama Thanksgiving.&amp;quot; When she finally arrives, she reveals that the gathering is actually a quiz tournament about herself, with the winner receiving a free adjustment session and the title of &amp;quot;Mitama&#039;s Perfect Lover.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz begins with multiple choice questions, and wrong answers trigger a trap door beneath the contestant, though cushions soften the fall. The first question asks Mitama&#039;s actual age, and Tsuruno guesses incorrectly, landing her in the trap. The second question asks whether Mitama&#039;s cooking is delicious, and when Felicia and Manaka both guess wrong, Mitama confirms that the correct answer is that her food is indeed delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz continues through several rounds, eliminating more contestants along the way. When the ninth question asks about Mitama&#039;s favorite movie, Ria guesses incorrectly and is eliminated for insulting the film&#039;s actress. Sana is also eliminated when Mitama takes pity on her after she panics over Iroha&#039;s safety, and Mitama confirms that &amp;quot;Pacifistic Hayashi&amp;quot; was the correct answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama admits she has run out of questions but still has many competitors remaining, so she decides to draw lots to pick a winner instead. Momoko asks why Mitama held the event in the first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama remembers a time where she tried using her magic to defeat a familiar on her own, and that even if her services are no longer needed, she can still protect herself. She has obtained the magic to keep living that she never had before, and if she ever had to abandon her neutrality, she could use it to help someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Mitama explains that she held the event because something good happened to her. The other girls sense a Witch and leave to hunt it, and Mitama tells them to draw their lots later. Alone, she wonders who she should use her power on when she eventually decides to stop being neutral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====I&#039;m the Star of this Show!====&lt;br /&gt;
* One night, Ria Ami receives a call from her manager about a fashion show that wants her as the prestigious last guest. The theme is &amp;quot;dressing in stylish uniforms.&amp;quot; Ria eagerly accepts, imagining Mayu Kozue praising her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - I&#039;m the Star of this Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Ria dreams. On the day of the fashion show, she runs into a Witch. Kyoko Sakura appears in the barrier. Mistaking Kyoko for a fan, Ria tries to show off, but Kyoko tells her to stay out of the way. They fight. Ria leaves the barrier and finds she has missed the show completely. Horrified, she wakes up. It was only a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, she and Asuka Tatsuki arrive to cheer. Asuka reveals she has been practicing for this day. During the event, Asuka cheers for Ria like it is a sports event. Ria knows she means no harm but feels embarrassed, as if Asuka is ruining the event. She wakes up again. Another dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, just as she is about to go on stage, the power cuts out. Though it quickly returns, the audience&#039;s enthusiasm has diminished. Ria blames herself for being unable to overcome the outage. She wakes up, realizing she has been dreaming about the show every single night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual day of the show, Ria pinches her cheek to make sure it is real. She stumbles into a Witch barrier, and Kyoko appears just as in her dreams. This time, Ria tells Kyoko she can take the credit for killing the Witch. Ria leaves and meets Asuka and Mayu. When she learns Asuka has practiced cheering, Ria explains that fashion shows have their own etiquette and promises to send her details later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just before Ria&#039;s turn on stage, the power cuts out for real. Ria decides to make it part of the show. She asks the audience to get out their penlights and turn them all on her when she gives the signal. Her improvisation is a complete success, though she wishes she could have shown her perfect walk. She thinks she is feeling the best feeling in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls are surprised to learn that Felicia scored fifty-two points on a test, and she asks for a reward. Yachiyo deems her request to go to MooMoo Park too expensive and instead promises a fancy dinner the next day, which satisfies Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha discovers that Tsuruno left her phone in the refrigerator and offers to return it while Yachiyo goes to a photo shoot. During breakfast, a commercial for MooMoo Park airs on television.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After breakfast, Felicia shows Sana the park commercial on her phone and admits she still wants to go, so she drags Sana along to catch animals at a riverbank. Meanwhile, Iroha returns Tsuruno&#039;s phone and helps out at her family&#039;s restaurant. At the riverbank, Felicia finds a small turtle, but Ayame Mikuri appears and accuses her of harassment. The two magical girls fight, and Felicia releases the turtle to protect it before running off, leaving Sana behind. Yachiyo finds Sana on her way home and learns what happened, then invites her to lunch. Felicia returns to the house, still angry at Ayame, and takes a nap after lunch. She dreams that the turtle thanks her and promises something at the riverbank, so she wakes and goes out to find it. She returns with a ticket for two to MooMoo Park. The others reveal that Iroha also received a ticket from Tsuruno&#039;s father, and Yachiyo got one at a meat store, so everyone can now go together. The girls happily resolve to visit the park and enjoy their dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of====&lt;br /&gt;
* An old lady asks Kanagi Izumi for a deli recommendation, and Kanagi suggests the potato soup and meat skewers, knowing the customer&#039;s daughter loves them. When the lady asks if this is truly Kanagi&#039;s last day, Kanagi confirms it and expresses regret at not seeing her again. At the end of her shift, Kanagi thanks her boss and coworkers, who are sad to see her go, but she needs higher pay to support her family and the grocery store cannot match her new job&#039;s wages.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives home later than usual due to a going-away party, and her father apologizes for not working enough to provide, though Kanagi is happy to help. He worries about her new job being radically different from her previous work, but Kanagi believes it is worth it since the pay means she can quit her second job and have more free time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi starts her new job at a maid café and impresses her coworker by already having a parfait ready. Despite learning the kitchen pace quickly, the hall is understaffed, and when the manager offers to help, Kanagi replies &amp;quot;Yes, sir!&amp;quot; only to be corrected that the manager prefers to be called &amp;quot;madam.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the rush, the head maid wishes for another maid, and the manager asks Kanagi to try working the floor for a raise. Kanagi&#039;s eyes widen at the salary and she accepts, receiving the maid nickname &amp;quot;Maid Nagitan.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid reviews basics with Kanagi, who feels confident due to her customer service background and sees this as a life-or-death matter to earn more for her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika Kumi, Reira Ibuki, and Mito Aino enter, and Kanagi greets them with a serious look and curt &amp;quot;welcome,&amp;quot; leaving them surprised by her cold, soldier-like demeanor. When Mito asks if she is really a maid, Kanagi introduces herself as Maid Nagitan and shakes Mito&#039;s hand firmly, causing Seika to freeze up. Later, when Reira asks if she will do &amp;quot;the thing&amp;quot; of adding love to the food, Kanagi misinterprets and says she cannot profess love to strangers, leaving the girls let down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At another table, a customer also wants &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; but Kanagi declines, saying she is no liar. The head maid intervenes and reminds Kanagi this is a maid café, explaining their job is creating a fun atmosphere. Kanagi returns to the trio&#039;s table and notices Seika staring, misinterpreting it as a staring contest. They stare at each other until Seika faints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid calls Kanagi completely hopeless and explains a maid&#039;s worth comes from tending to others, telling her to return to the kitchen if she cannot take the work seriously. The manager offers a one-week trial period: if Kanagi improves by week&#039;s end, she stays a maid. Kanagi vows to work with every fiber of her being.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Karin Misono finishes reading &amp;quot;Detective Maid Mei&amp;quot; and notices Kanagi slumped on a swing, muttering about what makes a good maid. Karin recognizes her as the boss of the East and, seeing an opportunity for her manga, asks Kanagi to tell her everything. Karin lends her the Detective Maid Mei manga for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Kanagi reads the manga and notes how the maid greets masters warmly, respects their decisions, and lets the master grow when needed. At the end, the maid strikes a pose. Kanagi meets Karin at the park to return the manga and heads to work with Karin tagging along for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the café, two boys enter and Kanagi greets them warmly as masters, surprising them with her &amp;quot;cool but kind&amp;quot; demeanor. The head maid smiles at her improvement. Kanagi serves Karin a Lovely Rice Omelet, and when Karin suggests she draw on it with ketchup, Kanagi tries to draw a kirin but it looks like a weird animal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Two more customers arrive, Aimi Eri and Natsuki Utsuho. Kanagi serves them and offers to draw on their omelets, writing Aimi&#039;s crush&#039;s name with hearts on her plate. As she leaves, Karin motions for her, and Kanagi does the manga pose, telling them to let her take care of any problems. At day&#039;s end, the head maid notes Kanagi&#039;s huge improvement but says it is too early to celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The final test begins, and the manager outlines that Kanagi must please the next returning customer, ensuring the master leaves with a smile. The door jingles as Konomi Haruna enters, distressed to find herself in a maid café. Kanagi greets her warmly and shows her to a seat despite the manager&#039;s concern.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi orders the Maid&#039;s Special Herbal Blend after Kanagi&#039;s recommendation, but when Kanagi offers to play a game then arm wrestle, Konomi panics, drinks quickly, pays, and leaves. The manager agrees that Kanagi should return to the kitchen as promised. Kanagi walks home alone, bothered by something beyond the wage cut.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi is back in the kitchen, and the kitchen staff is delighted. At day&#039;s end, the head maid tells her the staff appreciated her return, and Kanagi wonders why no one said they were glad when she worked as a maid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager notices her expression and encourages her to think until she is satisfied with the answer. Kanagi decides to find Konomi and ask what she lacked, recalling her school uniform.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi enters Konomi&#039;s flower shop, and Konomi is shocked. Kanagi asks what she lacked as a maid, but Konomi apologizes for assuming Kanagi was scary due to East-West history. She explains she entered by mistake, but Kanagi was considerate, made a helpful suggestion, and offered to ease her anxiety. It felt like Kanagi was doing it just for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi realizes that is what she was lacking: taking into account what the other person wants and responding to it. At the park, Kanagi reflects that customers come to enjoy the atmosphere and it is her job to consider whether it is worthwhile for them. She berates herself for making masters uncomfortable. Karin finds her and insists she should keep being a maid, offering to talk to the manager. Kanagi smiles and asks for a different favor instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi approaches the manager for a second chance, proposing she serve the same three customers who left when Seika fainted. The manager agrees to let her try. Karin finds Reira and Seika at a park and extends an invitation for them to return so Nagitan can make it up to them. Reira agrees, and Karin hands them invitations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio enters the café with Seika frozen, and Kanagi greets them warmly and shows them to their table. Kanagi serves their omelets, and when Mito asks if they were made with love, Kanagi admits she could not be dishonest but offers to draw with ketchup instead. She gives Mito the bottle to draw while Kanagi draws on Mito&#039;s plate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They play rock-paper-scissors, and Reira explains Seika is very shy and fainted because she had to make eye contact with someone new. Seika&#039;s class is doing a maid café for the school festival and she wanted to do her best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika admits she thought Kanagi was so confident she lost her own confidence. Kanagi points to the head maid as the ideal and explains she herself could never be like that, so she tries her best in her own way, encouraging Seika to find her own style. Seika smiles and asks for a picture. Kanagi agrees if her face is hidden, and before they leave, she does her signature pose and tells Seika to remember it when nervous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager calls Kanagi over and offers her the maid position, noting she learned something important. Kanagi says she wants to keep being a maid, not just for the paycheck, but to use what she learned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day at the café, Kanagi serves drinks and poses for pictures with a face mask, her fans cheering. Karin calls for her to do &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; and the café erupts yelling &amp;quot;Nagitan!&amp;quot; Karin and Kanagi walk home, and when Kanagi asks about her manga, Karin realizes she never drew it. Kanagi offers to help, but when Karin asks if she will do the pose, Kanagi reminds her she is off the clock. Karin looks down sadly as Kanagi returns to being serious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia====&lt;br /&gt;
* During the day, Felicia eats Tsuruno&#039;s ice candy without realizing it was hers because she cannot read kanji. Tsuruno reprimands Yachiyo when she learns Yachiyo knew and was preparing to buy a replacement. Yachiyo states it is impossible to guard the fridge constantly. Felicia, overwhelmed with guilt and anger that no one listens to her confession, loses control and flips the kitchen table before locking herself in her room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Felicia has a nightmare. She dreams her falling grades caused a huge argument between her parents, who blamed each other for neglecting her. Both ignore her confession and promise to try harder. Her mother storms back to the kitchen to cook. Felicia recalls that a Witch attacked immediately after, killing her parents, and she wakes up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She goes to the kitchen for water, but Iroha is there and points out she looks pale. Iroha tells her to rest and offers to bring water to her room. Felicia loses her temper and storms out of the house. Iroha wakes the others to find her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Felicia hears a voice claiming to be her. The voice pulls her into a barrier, where another Felicia lures her toward a locked box, revealing itself as her Doppel. Felicia nearly opens the box but remembers Yachiyo&#039;s words about some things being best left unknown. Her instincts tell her she is not ready.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She promises her Doppel she will return when she is stronger and hopes it can hold the truth for her. The Doppel accepts and returns to normal. Felicia wakes up at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo inform her they found her unconscious in the park. Felicia tells them about the encounter and her desire to become strong enough to fulfill her promise. Mitama offers a free power-up session to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha recalls they found Felicia releasing her Doppel in the park before losing consciousness. Yachiyo notes this has never happened before. She remembers that Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane once said Doppels are materialized emotions. Yachiyo concludes Felicia carries a heavy burden and tells Iroha to keep this secret until Felicia either realizes it herself or becomes strong enough to handle the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Monogatari Series Collab====&lt;br /&gt;
* Shinobu Oshino, Yotsugi Ononoki, and Mayoi Hachikuji hunt a Witch together. Shinobu begins her dramatic introduction and finishing move, but Yotsugi defeats the Witch with a simple &amp;quot;Hyah&amp;quot; and Mayoi lands the final blow with &amp;quot;Yah.&amp;quot; Shinobu is annoyed at their failure to call out special moves. Shinobu argues that calling out attacks is the essence of being a Magical Girl, but Yotsugi dismisses this as an outdated trope. Shinobu retorts that refusing to act the part is dumb, and Yotsugi reluctantly agrees. Shinobu declares they need training to act more befitting of Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Shinobu&#039;s Heartphial Story: Shinobu Spells]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shinobu demonstrates by striking a pose and delivering her lines with perfect timing. When Yotsugi tries, her performance is terrible. Shinobu forces her to try again, and Yotsugi reluctantly says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; but finds it unpleasant and refuses to repeat it. Mayoi asks Shinobu to help her come up with lines. After a few stumbles, she declares, &amp;quot;I, Mayoi Hachikuji, hereby condemn those Witches who seek to ravage this earth!&amp;quot; Shinobu finds it charming, and Mayoi admits leaning into the Magical Girl thing is fun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They enter a real Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Mayoi messes up her line again but turns it into an improvised bit while evading attacks. Yotsugi delivers a longer speech and says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; landing the attack. Shinobu finishes the Witch with her full finishing move. After the battle, morning comes. Shinobu declares the training will continue, but Yotsugi walks away. Mayoi distracts Shinobu by suggesting breakfast, and Shinobu wants donuts. Yachiyo, out for an early walk, overhears them and decides she wants donuts too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa and helps Yachiyo prepare breakfast. Sana joins them, but when she goes to wake Felicia, she finds Felicia’s room empty and her shoes gone; Felicia’s phone is also out of service. Worried, Yachiyo calls Tsuruno for help, and the group splits up to search the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part I: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the search, Iroha’s Soul Gem reacts to a nearby Witch. Inside the labyrinth, they encounter two unfamiliar magical girls who are already fighting the Witch: Mayoi Hachikuji and Shinobu Oshino. After the Witch is defeated, introductions are exchanged. Mayoi and Shinobu explain they are traveling and looking for a lost friend named Yotsugi Ononoki, who has bluish‑green pigtails, a peculiar hat with eyes, and a frilly dress. The two groups exchange phone numbers to help each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Felicia has in fact met Yotsugi. Yotsugi buys her ice cream, and Felicia learns Yotsugi is also traveling. Felicia offers to show Yotsugi around town as thanks, taking her to the shopping street, a spot with cats, and a bench good for naps. Yotsugi finds everything unfamiliar and feels something is off, as if she has buttoned her shirt wrong. She shortens Felicia’s name to “Felly,” which makes Felicia happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha’s group eventually spots Felicia with Yotsugi. When Yachiyo hugs Felicia in relief, Felicia reacts as if she does not know any of them. She remembers Yachiyo only as a famous magical girl, but has no memory of living at Mikazuki Villa. The group realizes Felicia has lost her memories. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive and reunite with Yotsugi. Felicia refuses to go with Iroha’s group, accusing them of being kidnappers. Yotsugi offers a third option: Felicia can join their traveling team. Mayoi warns Felicia that if she chooses to leave with them, she will never return to the home that might be waiting for her. Felicia becomes confused and cries. Iroha proposes they all have dinner together at Mikazuki Villa first, so Felicia can calm down and decide later and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, Felicia asks Yotsugi what she likes to eat. Yotsugi admits a preference for expensive cup ice cream. Felicia awkwardly asks if Yotsugi&#039;s face is always stuck like that, and Yotsugi confirms it is. After arriving, Felicia eagerly tries to get Yotsugi to play video games, serves her extra portions of food, and challenges her to a pillow fight. Yotsugi excuses herself to take a bath, leaving Felicia disappointed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yotsugi Ononoki#Side Story|Yotsugi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Yotsugi Sister]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Felicia apologizes for being clingy, explaining that Yachiyo and the others pulled her aside to warn her. Felicia confesses she had been trying to make Yotsugi smile, assuming she had lost her parents like Felicia did. Yotsugi clarifies that her emotions simply do not show on her face, but she does feel them. She admits playing the game was fun and the food was not bad. Felicia is overjoyed and runs off to brag to everyone. Shinobu and Mayoi, who had been eavesdropping, tease Yotsugi for finding Felicia cute. Yotsugi concedes that Felicia is exhausting, but seeing her face light up from a drop of attention is not unpleasant. She gains newfound respect for all older sisters in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the villa, Shinobu requests doughnuts for dessert, and the group plays games. Yotsugi helps in the kitchen and notices the chicken meat has a nice springy firmness. During dinner, the group shares memories of how they met Felicia. Felicia still does not remember, but Shinobu points out the stories are too detailed to be lies. Tsuruno suddenly does not remember buying coasters, revealing she may also have amnesia. Yotsugi then shifts the discussion: she reminds Shinobu that she walked in sunlight all day without harm, which should be impossible because Shinobu is actually a vampire. Shinobu’s memories return, and she declares herself the iron‑blooded, hot‑blooded, cold‑blooded vampire king of oddities. Mayoi also gets a headache and remembers she is not human either, and instead she is a snail oddity, a ghost. Yotsugi explains that she has felt uneasy calling herself a magical girl; she suspects this world is not the one she came from, as everything feels slightly different, like two paintings of the same image in different styles. She believes Shinobu, Mayoi, and herself came from another world. They conclude that a Witch may be behind the memory loss and false memories, and decide to hunt Witches the next day. Everyone stays the night at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mayoi plays Old Maid with Tsuruno, Felicia, Yotsugi, and Shinobu. Mayoi wins, but Yotsugi and Shinobu notice she seemed absent-minded. Mayoi asks Yachiyo if she can help with dinner, admitting she always wished she could cook with her mom. Yachiyo agrees and Mayoi joins Iroha and Sana in making dumplings, proving to be a natural. Yotsugi and Shinobu try but fail miserably. Mayoi boasts and declares herself the rightful leader of the little girls, sparking a three-way argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Mayoi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Mayoi Home]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno suggests playing a game to decide the leader, and Felicia wants to join. Shinobu insists Iroha must also participate. They play a life simulation board game. Mayoi starts strong but ends up broke and stranded in the Amazon. Iroha wins, and Mayoi declares her the official leader of the little girls, much to Iroha&#039;s confusion. Mayoi feels this has been the most fun she has had in a while, yet she cannot shake an uneasy feeling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After everyone decides to stay over, Yachiyo announces bath time. Mayoi suddenly bolts out of the house, claiming she will take a walk. Iroha chases after her and finds her safe. Mayoi apologizes and explains that the family moment overwhelmed her heart, so she left to do something familiar to settle herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi revisits her wish: after her parents&#039; divorce, she wished to go home. Being at Mikazuki Villa makes her feel like her wish has finally come true, yet she senses it is not the home she truly wants to return to. She remembers she is a ghost and wonders where exactly it is she wants to go back to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After they lay out futons in the living room, Shinobu reveals she is actually over 500 years old, and Mayoi was in fifth grade when she died, now mentally 21. Yotsugi still does not remember what she is. Felicia cannot sleep and goes outside. She sees a Witch appear suddenly, feels her head go foggy, and collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha again helps with breakfast. She feels a strange déjà vu, as if the same conversation has happened before. Sana again reports Felicia is missing. The group searches the town and again encounters Mayoi and Shinobu fighting a Witch. The same exchanges occur, but Iroha’s déjà vu grows stronger.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When they finally find Felicia, she is with Yotsugi and is annoyed that they took so long to show up. Yotsugi addresses Iroha by name without being introduced. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive. Iroha blurts out that everything feels like it has happened before. Yotsugi then explains: this is the second time they have met like this. Everyone suddenly remembers the previous day’s events of the dinner, the revelations about vampires and ghosts, and the time reset. Yotsugi says she felt the air warp after falling asleep, and when she woke up, she was back where she had been before meeting Felicia. Felicia recalls that before the reset, she saw a Witch outside Mikazuki Villa that made her dizzy and erased her memories. The group deduces that Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they discuss how to fight the Witch, Felicia’s stomach growls. They decide to return to the villa for dinner again, saving the battle for the next day. On the way, they stop at a supermarket for a snack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While walking home, a Witch suddenly appears and pulls Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi into a labyrinth. Felicia recognizes it as the same Witch from the reset. The Witch ignores both Iroha and Felicia, focusing all its attacks on Yotsugi. It dodges Felicia’s hammer and lands a clean hit, cutting Yotsugi’s body into pieces. Iroha and Felicia are horrified. As the Witch prepares to strike again, Yotsugi’s voice tells them to keep pretending to be sad. She instructs them to retreat and gather the pieces of her body. They do so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside the labyrinth, Yotsugi puts herself back together as if nothing happened. She reveals that when she took the hit, she regained her true memories. Back at Mikazuki Villa, she explains to everyone: she is a hundred‑year‑old tsukumogami made from a human body, both a doll oddity and a corpse oddity. She has no heart and has always been dead. This is why the Witch’s power of suggestion, which works by influencing emotions, does not affect her as much. She also notes that the Witch let them escape because it was angry at Yotsugi for helping everyone remember the first loop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yotsugi attacks Shinobu. Shinobu blocks the strike. When asked why, Yotsugi coldly says, “Would you mind dying for me real quick?”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt; Yotsugi’s sudden attack on Shinobu was not betrayal but a calculated shock: she remembered that when the Witch cut her into pieces, the trauma restored her own original memories. She reasons that a sufficiently strong physical blow can break through the memory manipulation. Shinobu’s severed leg instantly regenerates as her vampiric powers return, proving the method works. Without warning, Yotsugi then punches Mayoi, knocking her unconscious. When Mayoi wakes, her memories also return, which is triggered by the keyword “lost.” Mayoi explains that their false magical girl powers and wishes were implanted by the Witch, and that they are not inhabitants of this world. She then proposes a new theory: the Kamihama girls did not lose their memories; rather, they come from different points in their own timeline and simply haven’t experienced the shared past yet. Felicia is devastated, fearing she will never have a family again, but Iroha and the others reassure her that in every timeline they will end up together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab Part II: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, after everyone has gone to sleep, Shinobu summons Yotsugi and Mayoi outside. She admits she does not fully trust Iroha’s group, as they could be the Witch’s minions or mere plot devices. She reveals there may be another way to return to their original world, but she does not elaborate immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group splits up to hunt the elusive Witch. They repeatedly enter labyrinths of other Witches, wasting time. Felicia grows increasingly frustrated, nearly charging into unrelated fights. Yachiyo observes that the Witch seems to want them to fight, so any peaceful, fun activity risks a reset, which is why the first reset happened after their happy dinner and games. She concludes that the Witch is like a director forcing them to act out a “magical girls fighting” plot. Iroha suggests they deliberately provoke the Witch by acting against that plot, hoping to lure it out. However, Yotsugi warns that straying too far might trigger another reset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo formally presents her three‑point theory: (1) The Witch did not pursue them when they fled, (2) it never removed their magical girl powers, and (3) the resets happen when they relax instead of fight. Everyone agrees the plan is to provoke the Witch into appearing. Shinobu then insists on going sightseeing the next day, arguing that one more reset will weaken the Witch’s power further. Despite concerns about resetting again, Tsuruno enthusiastically supports the idea, and the group reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group spends the morning and afternoon touring Kamihama: the radio tower, the school (which they sneak into), an arcade where Yotsugi plays rhythm games with a completely blank expression, and the shopping mall where Shinobu demands to find a donut shop. Tsuruno saves the family restaurant, Banbanzai, for last. As they approach, Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi sense the Witch charging straight at them. The familiar dizziness overcomes everyone, and the world resets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Several hours after the reset, Yotsugi again restores everyone’s memories, as her immunity to the Witch’s suggestion means she still remembers everything. The group notes that more people felt déjà vu this time, suggesting the Witch is weakening. That night, Shinobu privately tells Yotsugi and Mayoi her true alternative plan: she will kill the Kamihama magical girls and consume their power, believing that enough strength will allow her to tear open a gate back to their world. Yotsugi and Mayoi agree to help, though Mayoi is conflicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the town feels eerily deserted. The Witch’s labyrinth is sparse, with only familiars. Following Shinobu’s earlier secret instruction, the group begins shouting insults at the Witch to provoke it. Suddenly, Shinobu strikes Felicia from behind, seemingly killing her. Yachiyo and Tsuruno are horrified. Shinobu, Yotsugi, and Mayoi reveal their betrayal: they intend to slaughter everyone to gain power for a gate home. A brutal fight erupts. Mayoi uses her ability to redirect Yachiyo’s spear attack, causing it to hit Iroha and Sana, who also fall. Tsuruno is overwhelmed, and Yachiyo is mortally wounded. Shinobu stands alone, gloating, but then the “dead” girls suddenly rise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** It was all an act. The group had secretly planned this staged betrayal during the previous night, communicating via handwritten notes to avoid the Witch overhearing. Sana, who makes picture books, wrote the script. The plan had multiple layers: first, they deliberately triggered a second reset by going sightseeing to weaken the Witch; second, they staged a believable in‑fighting scenario to lure the Witch out, because if all the “actors” disappear, the Witch’s story cannot continue. The Witch falls for the trap and appears, enraged by the deception. A full‑scale battle begins. The group coordinates: Iroha and Sana herd familiars for Yotsugi’s “Unlimited Rulebook”; Yachiyo, Shinobu, and Iroha immobilize the Witch; Tsuruno guides Mayoi’s errant drill attack with her flames, piercing the Witch’s front camera. When that does not destroy the labyrinth, Yachiyo and Shinobu realize the front camera was a decoy: the true weak spot is the film at the back. Felicia, launched by Yotsugi like a bullet, smashes the drill deeper, and Yachiyo and Shinobu destroy the film. The labyrinth dissolves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the world fades to mist, Felicia breaks down crying. She does not want this world to end because at Mikazuki Villa she finally felt like she had a family again, and she fears returning to her own timeline where she will be alone. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Sana hug her, promising that no matter the world or timeline, they will surely live together again. Shinobu, Mayoi, and Yotsugi share an awkward, brief hug, concluding they are not the hugging type. Everyone exchanges farewells. Yotsugi tells Felicia, “I’m glad I met you, Felly.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa, yawning. Felicia teases her for sleeping late. Iroha recalls a long, strange dream, both fun and bittersweet, but the details fade upon waking. She only remembers that it was something really special. The day begins again, as if the adventure had never happened, except for the faint warmth left behind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During this time xxxxxxxxx&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede dreams of a garden where Momoko and Rena help her harvest fantastical vegetables. When she asks about the cream puff tree, Momoko shows her a basket full. The peace breaks when an apartment complex finishes construction behind them, destroying the garden. Kaede remembers this moment: her father announced a new building would block their sunlight, her mother worried they would lose their garden, and in despair, Kaede wished to stop the construction entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The dream shatters and a shadowy version of Kaede appears, accusing her of always running from difficulty. It reminds her she made her wish without considering the people who would have lived in that building, that she ran from Rena rather than face rejection, that she holds back in marathons and skips hard problems. The shadow urges her to keep running until she finds where she belongs and offers its hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kaede admits everything is true: she is weak and useless. But she insists she wants to stay with Momoko and Rena, the friends who matter to her. She asks her shadow to help her become better little by little. The shadow agrees, promising to watch from the garden of her heart. Kaede wakes at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains Kaede blacked out during a Witch battle. Kaede remembers hesitating to transform, a Familiar catching her off guard, and Rena crying out. When another Familiar attacked Rena, Kaede recalled a time Momoko was hurt because of her mistake. Believing herself useless, her Soul Gem turned pitch black. Now awake and purified, she chooses not to run. She asks to join Momoko and Rena, who went ahead to hunt the Witch. Mitama sends her off, confident she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holiday Nyaprise!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede asks Mikazuki Villa to watch a lost kitten while her family is away. After Felicia threatens to withhold bedtime hot cocoa, Yachiyo relents and Sana names the cat Gorojirou, or Sir Purrs-a-little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Holiday Nyaprise!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno visits daily to play, and when Gorojirou needs the restroom, Sana rushes it to the litter box just as Yachiyo calls them for lunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia chases the cat until Sana gives her a toy to lure it instead, and they eventually nap together on the couch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou has grown close to everyone, and Iroha tries taking its picture but accidentally films herself instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha shops, Sana watches the cat and Yachiyo admits she avoided getting attached because Gorojirou is temporary, but resolves to make its stay pleasant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou chews Felicia&#039;s favorite sticker, and though Felicia is angry, Sana reminds her the cat leaves tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede returns for Gorojirou, and everyone says a tearful goodbye. As they leave, the cat meows at Sana, who cries happily saying goodbye to her new best friend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Clash!====&lt;br /&gt;
* A Mirror copy of Shizuku opens a portal and steps through into a city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Magia Clash!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama organizes a magical girl team competition inside the Mirrors labyrinth. Kaede and Iroha greet Nanoha, hoping to talk with her, but Kaede is called away when her match begins. Iroha stays behind and watches with Nanoha instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanoha Takamachi#Side Story|Nanoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hayate, Nanoha, and Fate mistake a Mirror copy&#039;s portal for the warp gate to their tournament and are pulled through before Lindy can stop them. Mitama registers the confused but excited trio for the &amp;quot;First Ultimate Magical Girls Team Battle Mirrors Cup,&amp;quot; and they head to the Standby Zone after learning about the Mirror barrier. Meanwhile, Rena, Momoko, and Kaede struggle against unusually strong Familiars, and when Rena twists her ankle, the Nanoha trio steps in to save them. The groups introduce themselves, with the trio explaining they are from Uminary City while concealing their connection to the Administrative Bureau, and Rena warns them about dangerous Mirror copies that lurk deeper in the barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they observe Team Momoko&#039;s match, Nanoha comments on the fighting styles she sees and notes the variety of magic on display. She explains she was taught magic from an early age and is surprised to learn Iroha and the others gained their powers by making wishes to Kyubey. Iroha describes Kyubey as a white stuffed animal, which reminds Nanoha of her own first teacher, Yuuno. Nanoha shares that she discovered magic in third grade when she heard Yuuno calling for help, and since then she has honed her abilities alongside Fate and Hayate to protect others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks about Nanoha&#039;s device, Raising Heart, and how it can transform. Nanoha explains the device taught her magic step by step and once posed an important question to her: what is the most important thing in a fight? Iroha guesses it is the will to win, but before Nanoha can reveal the true answer, Fate and Hayate return from exploring. Fate requests a sparring match, and Iroha asks to watch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo joins Iroha to observe the fight between Nanoha and Fate. The two exchange blows at maximum speed, with Fate using close-range attacks while Nanoha fights from a distance. The match ends in a tie after a final, explosive clash. Before leaving for a break, Nanoha turns to Iroha and reveals the true answer to Raising Heart&#039;s question: wisdom and tactics. Iroha agrees, especially after witnessing their battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Natsuki is fretting over a lost wallet at the Promise Altar, and Ria offers to help her search since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway. Natsuki apologizes for the trouble, but Ria insists she doesn&#039;t mind and even offers to lend her money. Natsuki refuses the loan but admits she needs money for train fare home. She reluctantly agrees to borrow just enough for the trip and promises to pay Ria back later. Ria asks if Natsuki is sure she doesn&#039;t want to file a report, but Natsuki believes the wallet is simply lost rather than stolen and wants to keep searching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hayate Yagami#Side Story|Hayate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria suggests they retrace Natsuki&#039;s steps and asks where she&#039;s been. Natsuki lists the Promise Altar, the station, the shopping district, and an izakaya where she ate with friends. Ria questions why she went to an izakaya alone, and Natsuki clarifies she was with coworkers. Ria finds it odd that Natsuki was drinking with coworkers and then came to the shrine alone afterwards. Natsuki admits it&#039;s a long story involving a former coworker&#039;s engagement announcement that left her feeling restless. She came to the shrine to think but realized she didn&#039;t have enough money to get home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they search, they run into Masara and Kokoro. Masara bluntly tells Natsuki she probably won&#039;t find it and suggests getting a new student ID. Kokoro gently scolds her for being insensitive and offers to help search. Ria mentions they&#039;ve already looked around the shrine, so Kokoro suggests they expand the search area.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group heads to the shopping district, where they encounter Kanoko. She offers to help search as well, and they all continue looking together. Eventually, Ria asks Natsuki to retrace her exact steps from when she left the izakaya. Natsuki recalls walking to the station, realizing she didn&#039;t want to go home yet, and coming to the shrine. Ria points out that she would have needed her wallet to pay the izakaya bill, so she definitely had it after leaving. Natsuki confirms this and remembers using her train pass at the station before changing her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria concludes the wallet must be somewhere between the station turnstiles and the shrine, but they&#039;ve already searched that route thoroughly. Kanoko suggests Natsuki might have dropped it somewhere else without realizing, like when she pulled out her phone. Natsuki&#039;s eyes light up, and she admits she did take out her phone at the station to check something. She just can&#039;t remember what she did with her wallet after that. Ria proposes they split up to cover more ground, and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Natsuki returns home defeated and exhausted. Her father calls out to her, and when she enters the living room, she finds her wallet sitting on the table. Her mother found it in the shopping district and a kind stranger turned it in. Natsuki&#039;s relief quickly turns to panic when she remembers she borrowed money from Ria, and now she has no way to contact her. She considers calling Kokoro but realizes she doesn&#039;t have her number either. She decides to go back to the Promise Altar the next day to hopefully find Ria there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Natsuki returns to the Promise Altar and is relieved to spot Ria. She excitedly explains that her wallet was found and immediately tries to repay the loan. Ria accepts the money but notices Natsuki seems troubled about something else. Natsuki admits she&#039;s been thinking about her former coworker&#039;s engagement and how she handled the situation. Ria offers to listen if Natsuki wants to talk, but Natsuki says she&#039;d rather not burden her further. Ria insists it&#039;s no trouble since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki explains that her former coworker Yukari got engaged and announced it at a gathering. Natsuki congratulated her happily, but another coworker named Ootori made some passive-aggressive comments about how Yukari managed to find someone before her. Later, Ootori apologized to Natsuki for her behavior, but Natsuki feels she should have defended Yukari in the moment. She feels guilty for not speaking up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria asks why she feels responsible for defending Yukari. Natsuki admits it&#039;s because Yukari was always kind to her when she first started the job, and she feels she failed to repay that kindness. Ria points out that Natsuki did congratulate Yukari sincerely, and that was probably what mattered most to her in that moment. Natsuki realizes Ria is right and thanks her for the perspective.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just then, Kanagi arrives, and Ria prepares to leave. Before going, she offers Natsuki her contact information so she can reach out if she ever needs to talk again. Natsuki gratefully accepts, and the two part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During a break in the Mirrors tournament, Fate, Nanoha, and Hayate encounter a copy of Fate that proves too powerful for them to handle alone. Felicia, Kako, and Ayame appear to help, and together they defeat the copy. When Felicia asks what they&#039;re doing there, Fate admits they got lost. The Kamihama girls learn the trio is from out of town and younger than them, but they quickly become friends and head back to the standby zone together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Fate T. Harlaown#Side Story|Fate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group somehow gets roped into a dodgeball game, with teams forming spontaneously among the tournament participants. Fate proves to be exceptionally athletic, leading her team through multiple rounds against increasingly competitive opponents. After defeating Momoko&#039;s team, they face a martial arts team featuring Akira, Meiyui, and Asuka, which Fate also wins. Tsuruno, refusing to let age be a barrier, recruits Masara and Natsuki for a final match against Fate&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match comes down to a intense showdown between Fate and Tsuruno, both catching and returning each other&#039;s throws with increasing speed and power. Fate ultimately outmaneuvers Tsuruno by throwing to Nanoha and leaping into the air for the winning strike. Everyone celebrates the friendly tournament and the new friendships formed across different cities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the tournament progresses, Team Nanoha easily advances through early rounds with Fate&#039;s incredible speed, though Momoko notices Hayate and Nanoha have yet to reveal their full power. Elsewhere, Mitama learns that Momoko announced her team would break up if they lost not because Kaede is useless but to show their conviction, though both Kaede and Rena had doubts. The tournament continues until four teams remain, with Team Momoko advancing to the finals through clever strategy and Team Nanoha defeating Team Masara to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match begins with Fate and Rena clashing in a battle of speed that seemingly knocks both out, leaving Nanoha and Hayate to face Momoko and Kaede. Hayate fuses with Reinforce Zwei and unleashes Ragnarok to take out Kaede, then joins Nanoha against Momoko, who withstands Nanoha&#039;s Starlight Breaker as both girls stand exhausted. Before a winner can be decided, Lindy contacts Nanoha with an emergency: a fugitive illegally opened a rift between worlds, and the Mirror copy of Shizuku appears nearby, having used her powers to connect the Mirror labyrinth to Uminary City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The copy stole the tournament&#039;s grand prize, a special orb that exponentially increases magical power, and the girls call off the match to track her down. Team Nanoha and Team Momoko catch the copy, but after they defeat her, copies of Hayate, Fate, and Nanoha appear and swallow the broken orb pieces, gaining immense power. All the Magical Girls unite to take down the powered-up copies, and through combined efforts they finally delete the magical signatures. With the tunnel between worlds about to collapse, Mitama declares both teams winners, and the girls exchange heartfelt goodbyes before the Nanoha trio returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day in Kamihama, Kaede realizes her texts to Hayate no longer go through, Momoko cannot reach Nanoha or Fate, and Rena cannot find Uminary City on any map. Mitama and Shizuku conclude the girls must have come from a different world entirely, since they needed a space tunnel to travel rather than a simple train ride. Though Kaede is sad they may never meet again, Rena is grateful for the friendship they formed, and the three resolve to work hard for a future rematch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Asuka finds herself in a cloud-filled void facing a shadowy version of herself who claims to be the hidden part of Asuka&#039;s heart. The shadow declares Asuka is no longer fit to practice Ryushin-ryu because her blade has been sullied by contracting as a Magical Girl. When Asuka protests, the shadow recounts how Asuka wished for her cousin to become a police officer after his dreams were jeopardized by their uncle&#039;s arrest, arguing that twisting fate with magic was selfish and wrong. The shadow insists that with her heart no longer true, Asuka walks a false path and should abandon her school, urging her to die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her despair, Asuka remembers her father&#039;s words about asking her own heart what is right, like water filling a square bowl. She tells the shadow that perceptions of right and wrong can change with the situation, and though she cannot refute the shadow&#039;s claims, she knows her heart believed her actions were just. Believing words alone cannot reach the shadow, Asuka challenges her to a fight to prove her blade&#039;s strength reflects her sincere heart. The shadow warns that slaying her means slaying herself, but Asuka declares she fears being untrue to herself more than death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their swords clash, and after a long battle, the shadow succumbs to Asuka&#039;s attack and acknowledges her blade was as pure as her heart. The shadow warns she may return in a different form if Asuka&#039;s heart becomes stained again, then vanishes. Asuka awakens near a pond deep in the forest, where she had gone to meditate as part of her training. She remembers the shadow&#039;s promise and considers asking Mitama what it all meant, but feels her father&#039;s words have been engraved in her more deeply now. With her resolve unwavering, she runs back to the dojo, taking a straight path out of the woods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka awakens to find herself in a strange, cloud-filled void. A shadowy copy of herself appears, introducing itself as the part of her she has suppressed deep within her heart. The shadow urges Nanaka to end her pursuit of vengeance, calling it a fruitless endeavor that changes nothing. Nanaka refuses, explaining that the act of revenge itself holds meaning for her, not the result. The shadow questions where vengeance has led her: a life of constant danger in an endless struggle against Witches. Nanaka admits there is nothing to gain from her actions, but her conviction remains unshakable. The shadow then accuses Nanaka of dragging Akira, Kako, and Meiyui into her vengeance, using them to fulfill her goals. Nanaka acknowledges this truth but insists she would never throw their lives away. She believes fate brought them together to fight a common enemy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka recalls the moments before she lost consciousness. Her team had cornered a Witch, but it disappeared and reappeared near a weakened Kako. Nanaka leaped in to shield her, and Akira and Meiyui joined the fight. The shadow suggests Nanaka protected Kako to redeem herself, but Nanaka denies this. The shadow warns it will continue watching from the depths of her heart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka awakens to find her teammates standing over her, relieved she is alive. The Witch is defeated. Nanaka tells Kako not to worry about anything, as they are teammates. Meiyui finds her choice of words unusual, but Akira insists Nanaka see Mitama for a checkup. Kako thanks Nanaka for protecting her. Nanaka smiles, thinking to herself that each of them is their own flower, supporting one another through their shared fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis====&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha announces that a cafe Yachiyo frequents has opened a new location near Mikazuki Villa, and the group decides to visit on opening day. They arrive to find it is actually a Curry House CoCo Ichibanya, and Yachiyo passionately explains the menu options as they wait for the store to open.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the store opens early, the employee announces they cannot open today due to a missing delivery truck carrying ingredients. The employee breaks down in tears, explaining her family came to see her first store opening. The group notices magical energy emanating from the store and decides to help find the truck, promising to return for curry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They investigate at the last store the truck visited. The employee there confirms the truck is missing but provides spare ingredients and explains that stores support each other in times of trouble. The group splits into two teams: one to gather ingredients from other stores, and one to trace the truck&#039;s route. During coordination, they learn a second CoCoIchi truck has also gone missing on the same road.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While gathering ingredients, Tsuruno&#039;s group encounters a lost, hungry girl who flees upon hearing CoCoIchi and nearly crashes into Sana. Afterward, Sana realizes the employee at the new store could see her despite her invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s group follows the road where both trucks disappeared and finds a Witch&#039;s barrier. Inside, they find both trucks and their drivers. Iroha and Ui engage the Witch&#039;s familiars while Yachiyo secures the drivers. Iroha realizes the Witch is targeting the cargo, so she throws curry ingredients at it, causing the Witch to abandon the fight and allowing them to defeat it easily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno calls with urgent news that the store employee is a Magical Girl, her missing little sister is also a Magical Girl, and she has not been able to contact her since yesterday. The group fears the curry-loving Witch they just defeated was the sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the new store, where the employee is preparing their reward curry. Before Iroha can confess, a girl rushes in calling for her sister. It is the employee&#039;s little sister, alive and well. The group realizes the Witch was simply a curry-loving Witch unrelated to the sister. They finally sit down to enjoy the promised curry together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui====&lt;br /&gt;
* Meiyui&#039;s family is helping organize a local event when a stranger stabs one of their members and flees, dropping a badge. Meiyui chooses to tend to the victim rather than give chase, despite his protests that she is being too soft.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many in the organization want revenge, but Meiyui refuses, not wanting to return to their old ways as an evil organization. The members are reluctant to involve the police due to being falsely accused of murder three years prior. Meiyui had contracted with Kyubey back then to expose the truth with her wish, but lingering distrust remains.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui goes alone to track the culprit. The dropped badge leads her to an abandoned company tied to illegal labor her family had helped shut down. After defeating a stray Witch, she is ambushed and kidnapped by a man with a taser.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She wakes handcuffed alongside about ten others. The kidnappers reveal the badge was a trap to lure her. They include a former police officer who had fabricated evidence against her family and associates of the real murderer from that case, all blaming the Blue Seas for ruining their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her Soul Gem is heavily tainted from the Witch fight, and she begins hearing her Doppel&#039;s voice. In a cloudy void, her shadow self insists she should have killed these enemies when she had the chance, arguing her organization cannot survive without dirtying their hands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Meiyui struggles to stay conscious, she uses her last energy to beg the culprits to leave her family alone, insisting they are not a bad group. The stabber dismisses her pleas and suggests killing her as a warning instead. Her Doppel mocks her, saying evil people will always exist no matter how sincerely she tries to live righteously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, her organization members arrive to rescue her. The stabbed victim is among them, now grateful Meiyui had stayed to help him instead of chasing revenge. He admits he used to believe abandoning burdens was the way of the world, but facing death alone showed him he was wrong. He is alive because of Meiyui&#039;s strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hearing this, Meiyui&#039;s mind clears. In the void, her Doppel asks if she is ready to kill them, but Meiyui rejects violence entirely. The Doppel submits, allowing her to put everyone in the area to sleep without bloodshed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The police soon arrive after the kidnapper, persuaded by Meiyui, confesses over the phone. They find several family members asleep everywhere and note a look of complete relief on Meiyui&#039;s sleeping face.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Little Bird&#039;s Star====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe and other Black Feathers are in Fendt Hope, commiserating about their weakness. A White Feather had to bail them out after they were followed by a Witch while delivering a parcel from Mitama&#039;s shop. They discuss Yachiyo Nanami, a veteran Magical Girl who destroys Uwasas.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu and Nemu emerge from a room arguing. Nemu dismisses Mifuyu and approaches the Black Feathers with a request. She asks them to investigate the &amp;quot;Uwasa of the Jealous Coward,&amp;quot; also called the &amp;quot;Green-Eyed Coward.&amp;quot; Kuroe hesitates but agrees when Nemu insists she has the aptitude.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group investigates an area with many students but cannot find the Uwasa. The other Black Feathers leave for personal commitments. Kuroe stays, feeling she has nothing to return to. The Uwasa manifests when Kuroe expresses envy toward the other girls&#039; normal lives. Two Black Feathers are knocked unconscious. Nemu is satisfied with the results and tasks Kuroe with investigating more Uwasas starting tomorrow. Kuroe protests but Nemu leaves before she can refuse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1744.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1743.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The Amane twins, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo, meet Kuroe at Fendt Hope and they begin investigating Uwasas in Sakae Ward but find nothing. They move to Hokuyo Ward. Kuroe notices a missing cat poster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They sense Yachiyo&#039;s group nearby and flee. Yachiyo and Iroha corner Kuroe. The twins escape. Yachiyo interrogates Kuroe. An Uwasa resembling Kuroe appears and attacks, then disappears. Yachiyo accuses Kuroe of controlling it. Kuroe insists she had no knowledge of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo decides to take Kuroe camping to monitor her. At the campground, the Amane twins briefly contact Kuroe and say they will consult Nemu, so Kuroe resolves to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe helps Iroha gather firewood. Iroha is scared by a caterpillar and Kuroe removes it. Kuroe introduces herself by name. She helps the group set up their tent and prepare lunch, using skills learned from Wings of Magius training. She reminds herself not to get drawn into their warm atmosphere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mentions a waterfall power spot. Kuroe offers to get water. Iroha accompanies her. They get lost. A woman helps Kuroe find the waterfall and gives her an empty bottle. The woman explains the place is her personal power spot for resetting her mind. Kuroe wishes she had strength to face the future. The Uwasa appears and attacks the woman. Iroha arrives and finds the woman unconscious. Kuroe begs Iroha for help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe carries the unconscious woman back to the campsite. The Amane twins inform her that Nemu says she is possessed by the Uwasa and should stay with Yachiyo&#039;s group. Yachiyo warns that if more casualties occur, she will destroy the Uwasa. Iroha suggests keeping Kuroe for observation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group participates in a stamp rally and Iroha and Kuroe pair up. They discover they are both from Takarazaki. Iroha explains she moved to Kamihama to find her missing sister. Suddenly, a Witch appears and Kuroe and Iroha fight it together. Kuroe acts as a decoy while Iroha defeats the Witch. Kuroe feels inadequate compared to Iroha&#039;s courage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe asks for time alone and she reflects on her fears and envy. The Uwasa appears again, resembling Kuroe. The group fights it and Iroha urges Kuroe to destroy the Uwasa. Kuroe admits she is afraid she cannot be herself, so she and Iroha destroy the Uwasa together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amane twins inform Kuroe they must report the Uwasa&#039;s destruction, yet Kuroe does not regret it. Iroha asks to talk with Kuroe and Yachiyo offers them tea. Kuroe admits she feels safe with the Wings of Magius because they represent hope for her. Iroha accepts this and Kuroe tells Iroha she wants to be like her someday. They part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe finds the missing cat and returns it to its owner, who is overjoyed. Kuroe realizes she saved someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe reports to Nemu and Mifuyu. Nemu reveals the Uwasa summons itself based on dissatisfaction and envy. Nemu admits she expected Yachiyo&#039;s group to handle an accident with the Uwasa. However, Nemu is satisfied that she now has more research on fusing Uwasa with Magical Girls, however Mifuyu warns Nemu not to experiment on the Feathers. Kuroe realizes that even the Magius are imperfect and she reflects on her long day. She resolves to do her best, one step at a time, and hopes to see Iroha again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 7th==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia and Sana decide to buy matching coasters as a gift for Yachiyo, to show their appreciation, and after some searching, they find a suitable set.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: Memories That Reveal the Truth]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 8th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the plan to present the gift is interrupted when Mifuyu Azusa arrives at the villa before Yachiyo returns home. The girls&#039; plan was for Iroha to wait inside while the others came from outside to surprise Yachiyo. Mifuyu prepares tea and reveals one of the two mugs on the top shelf, which Yachiyo forbade Iroha from using, belongs to her. Mifuyu invites Iroha to a lecture hosted by the Wings of the Magius to explain their goal of &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls. The lecture is scheduled for two days later at the Memory Museum and Iroha agrees to investigate the Rumor about the museum first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo returns home and is visibly distressed to find Mifuyu there. Mifuyu leaves, asking Iroha to inform the others about the lecture. Before finally leaving, Mifuyu returns to speak to Yachiyo privately. She references a &amp;quot;promise&amp;quot; they made a year ago, and accuses Yachiyo of returning to her old ways. Yachiyo insists her relationship with Iroha and the others is &amp;quot;just cooperating.&amp;quot; Yachiyo retreats to her room without receiving the coasters. That night, Yachiyo reflects on her past, resolving to return to the person she once was.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 9th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the lecture, Iroha is unable to give Yachiyo the coasters due to Yachiyo&#039;s low spirits. Iroha discusses her plan to attend the Wings of the Magius lecture with Madoka Kaname via text. Iroha then attempts to investigate the Rumor of the Memory Museum. Yachiyo claims no knowledge of it and leaves for school. Iroha and Momoko ask Mitama, who refuses to share information to maintain her neutrality. After the visit, Mitama has a separate conversation with Momoko about Momoko&#039;s own secret, advising her to tell her friends the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede and Rena help Iroha by summoning the creature that recites the Rumor of the Memory Museum, which allows people to view researched memories. Tsuruno&#039;s father provides the location of the similar-sounding &amp;quot;Kamihama Memorial Museum.&amp;quot; That evening, Yachiyo refuses to join the investigation, reiterating that her relationship with the others is strictly professional, which saddens Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Saturday, the 10th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the lecture, Yachiyo again refuses to go to the museum and Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana go to the Kamihama Memorial Museum without her. There, they are greeted by Touka Satomi, who reveals herself as one of the three Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently at Mikazuki, Yachiyo, haunted by memories of past friends, decides she must investigate the Memory Museum herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Touka throne 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka Satomi gives them a lecture titled &amp;quot;The Truth Behind Magical Girls.&amp;quot; She presents three key items through illustrative stories:&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 1: Soul Gems. A story reveals that a Soul Gem is a Magical Girl&#039;s actual soul. Using magic consumes this life force, and if the gem shatters, the Magical Girl dies. Touka uses an analogy of an internal vs. external battery to explain Soul Gems and Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 2: Witches. A second story demonstrates that when a Magical Girl&#039;s Soul Gem becomes fully corrupted, she transforms into a Witch. This revelation traumatizes Felicia, who realizes the Witches she has been killing were once Magical Girls and that she herself is destined to become one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 3: Doppels. A third story explains that in Kamihama City, a fully corrupted Soul Gem can manifest a &amp;quot;Doppel&amp;quot; instead of a Witch. The Wings of the Magius present this as the key to &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls from their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* To prove their claims, Touka and Mifuyu Azusa activate the Memory Museum&#039;s Rumor. Mifuyu presents a book containing her own memories, inviting the group to witness the truth of the lecture firsthand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo arrives at the museum and confronts Touka. She is shown into the memory dimension where Iroha and the others are and Mifuyu activates the Rumor, forcing the group to relive her memories. The memories depict Yachiyo&#039;s former team, Mikazuki Villa:&lt;br /&gt;
** The first memory shows Kanae Yukino sacrificing herself to reveal a Witch&#039;s weakness. Her uninjured body is found next to her shattered Soul Gem, proving the Soul Gem is the Magical Girl&#039;s life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second memory shows Mel Anna using too much magic to protect Yachiyo. With no Grief Seed to purify her fully corrupted Soul Gem, Mel transforms into a Witch before the team&#039;s eyes, confirming Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The third memory shows Mifuyu&#039;s despair six months after Mel&#039;s death, causing her Soul Gem to corrupt fully. Instead of becoming a Witch, she manifests a Doppel. Touka then appears and recruits her into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno is consumed by guilt over Mel&#039;s death, believing her absence that day was the cause. Felicia is horrified, realizing the Witches she killed were Magical Girls and Sana is terrified but feels powerless to change the system. Touka and Mifuyu use this emotional vulnerability to press their recruitment offers to each girl, promising a world where these tragedies are impossible and even suggesting Sana could be freed from her wish of invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo reject the offer to join and Yachiyo compares the Magius&#039; methods to Kyubey&#039;s, accusing them of exploiting weaknesses. Yachiyo then announces she is disbanding their team, which Iroha protests, but Yachiyo insists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka reveals that Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana have been brainwashed and now serve the Wings of the Magius. Alina Gray arrives and traps Iroha and Yachiyo within her Labyrinth and leaves them to face a Witch. As they fight the Witch, Yachiyo reiterates her decision to disband the team and work alone. She reveals her wish was &amp;quot;I want to survive,&amp;quot; and explains that she interprets this as a curse: the power to survive by sacrificing her teammates, based on the last words of her former comrades, Kanae and Mel, who both died while she lived. Yachiyo believes that to protect Iroha, she must sever their partnership.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha rejects Yachiyo&#039;s conclusion. She declares she will defeat the Uwasa alone to prove Yachiyo&#039;s &amp;quot;curse&amp;quot; is not real and that she can protect Yachiyo. Iroha states she is angry that Yachiyo made this decision for everyone and vows to rescue their brainwashed friends. She defeats the Witch and rejects Yachiyo&#039;s belief in a cursed wish and declares herself the new leader to nullify its perceived effect. Yachiyo relents and agrees to work with Iroha to save their friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the same time, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, having detected Mami&#039;s magic while investigating Kamihama, investigate the closed Kamihama Recording Museum. They are attacked by the Wings of the Magius. While Madoka and Homura hold them off, Sayaka proceeds and witnesses Mami, transformed into &amp;quot;Holy Mami,&amp;quot; attacking Iroha and Yachiyo. It is here that Sayaka learns the horrific truth that Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 6: A Stand-Off With Fate]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, now a brainwashed member of the Wings of the Magius, confronts them. As Iroha and Yachiyo are too injured to fight, Sayaka Miki arrives and intervenes. Sayaka uses a bomb from Homura to create a diversion, allowing the three to escape.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After their escape, Sayaka gives Iroha a Grief Seed. Iroha explains the truth about Witches and the Wings of the Magius to Sayaka, who is horrified. Sayaka leaves to process this information and Iroha and Yachiyo walk home in silence to reflect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After fleeing the museum, Sayaka reunites with Madoka and Homura, defeats their pursuers in a distraught state, and explains what happened to Mami to them, as well as the truth about becoming Witches.The group returns to Mitakihara in silence but Madoka resolves to find a way to avoid their fate and to save Mami. Sayaka agrees to fight back as well and later decides to meet with Kyoko Sakura.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, at Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo reaffirm their commitment to save their friends and Momoko arrives, having told the secret of Magical Girls to Rena and Kaede. Yachiyo also apologizes for her actions and explains her fears about her wish. Momoko forgives her and reaffirms their friendship. Iroha then receives a text from Madoka, who promises to come to Kamihama to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Sayaka meets Kyoko and reveals the truth about Witches. Kyoko deduces this is what the Wings of the Magius meant by &amp;quot;saving&amp;quot; Magical Girls. Kyoko declares she will find a way to avoid becoming a Witch and confront the Wings of the Magius alone, rejecting Sayaka&#039;s offer of help. Despite Sayaka&#039;s protests, Kyoko leaves to operate solo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Likely during this time, Yachiyo pulls out a box containing what her former friends Kanae Yukino and Mel Anna left behind. She has never opened it since filling it and spends the entire day staring at it, unable to lift the lid. When Iroha arrives and asks about it, Yachiyo explains and admits she is trying to work through her feelings. Iroha offers to help, but Yachiyo deflects, reminding her they were supposed to visit Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls visit Mitama Yakumo and present Grief Seeds as payment for adjustment. Mitama is surprised by the offering and promises to do her best, but she expresses concern about Yachiyo&#039;s emotional state. She suggests Yachiyo clear up her issues with the box before moving forward and offers to adjust both girls at once as a special exception.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Mitama works on her, Yachiyo finds herself in a gray room confronted by a shadowy doppelganger. The shadow accuses her of being afraid of the future and clinging to the past. When Yachiyo refuses to give in to despair, the shadow transforms into her doppel, but she stands firm, accepting her fear while choosing to move forward. Iroha appears beside her, and together they bid farewell to visions of Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo awakens and realizes Mitama adjusted them together intentionally, trusting Iroha could help her if needed. She thanks Mitama for looking out for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at her house, Yachiyo finally opens the box with Iroha beside her. Inside, Kanae left a book of lyrics about becoming a circle with others, and Mel left fortune telling impressions predicting a future where many magical girls would gather in Kamihama. Yachiyo cries as she reads their words. Iroha suggests they head toward that gentle future together. Yachiyo agrees but says first they need to get back their own three points: Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha resolves to find her lost friends and mentally tells Ui to wait a bit longer. Iroha and Yachiyo finish cleaning their house. Iroha resolves to give the coasters she and the others bought for Yachiyo when everyone is reunited. Iroha says she sent a message to Madoka in Mitakihara City, but hasn&#039;t gotten a response.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 7: Awakening to Paradise]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Immediately after Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana are taken, Mifuyu reports to Touka and Alina that the brainwashing on the three is holding, so Touka selects Tsuruno for a mission, which Alina states will involve &amp;quot;mass murder.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in her room, Iroha thinks back to when she celebrated Christmas with her friends, but resolves to keep going with her mission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sunday, the 11th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo investigate the Kamihama Rumor Files at Mikazuki Villa. Iroha recognizes some of the Rumors. They meet with Momoko, who mentions Tsuruno&#039;s perfect school attendance record is now broken and that a new amusement park is also opening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo visit Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant and her father reveals Tsuruno and Felicia visited once. Tsuruno told him she found a place where she feels safe and would not return and he notes her expression was blank, similar to how she looked a year ago after Mel&#039;s death. Afterwards, a White Feather ambushes Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will be used for a mission like Tsuruno, and the two fight off the attacker.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Monday, the 12th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo devise a plan to destroy Rumors across Kamihama to lure out the Wings of the Magius and locate their base. They share this plan with Momoko, who offers to help by getting Grief Seeds for them while they hunt. Momoko then goes to check on Kaede, who is hiding in her room. She hugs Kaede and tells her she and Rena will always be there to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo systematically hunt Rumors like the &amp;quot;Historical Battle Marker,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Castle Town Illusion,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Headless Biker Gang,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Puzzle Tiles Lock,&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;Fashion Monster.&amp;quot; They also interrogate captured Feathers, but none reveal information about Tsuruno, Felicia, or Sana&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Momoko investigates a rapidly spreading rumor about a new amusement park. She notes it originated in the east and spread west through Sakae, Mizuna, and Shinsei Wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha and Yachiyo analyze the Kamihama Rumor Files, marking all known Rumor locations on a map. They identify a pattern: Rumors cluster more densely in Shinsei Ward, with a notable concentration around Satomi Medical Center, the hospital where Ui was supposedly treated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They travel to the hospital area and are ambushed by Feathers. Felicia and Sana, who had broken free of the brainwashing, arrive and help fight off the attackers. The four Magical Girls reunite and Felicia and Sana reveal they pretended to be brainwashed to gather information. Momoko confirms the amusement park rumor spread from east to west and will open at dawn in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Sana explain to Yachiyo and Iroha that Mifuyu used her illusion magic to break their brainwashing. Mifuyu revealed the Magius are protecting and strengthening Witches for their liberation plan and are planning to use the brainwashed Magical Girls to cross a dangerous line. Mifuyu attempted to free Tsuruno but failed, as Tsuruno&#039;s reason for being brainwashed was different. Mifuyu then helped Felicia and Sana escape but chose to remain behind, stating they would be enemies next time they meet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko arrives and shares her investigation into a new Rumor about an amusement park opening at dawn in two days. She confirms it spread from the east, and the group overlays the Rumor locations on a map and identifies a pattern suggesting a source or &amp;quot;eye of the storm&amp;quot; in the eastern wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo decides to contact Kanagi Izumi, the powerful Magical Girl who controls the eastern Daito and Kosho Wards and is a former rival of hers. Kanagi agrees to an alliance, and during their call, Tsukasa of the Wings of the Magius arrives at Kanagi&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tuesday, the 13th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The morning, Felicia and Sana try to accompany Iroha and Yachiyo but are told to rest due to their collapse the previous night. Iroha and Yachiyo leave them behind. Meanwhile in Kosho Ward, Iroha, Yachiyo, Momoko, and Kanagi meet and Kanagi agrees to ally with them against the Wings of the Magius. They combine their Rumor data on a map, which reveals a circular pattern with a vacant center in Kosho Ward and Kanagi identifies the old railway yard as the likely location of the Wings&#039; base.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After learning the truth about Witches, Madoka questions Kyubey about a way to avoid becoming a Witch. Kyubey states he knows of no method and reveals he cannot enter Kamihama City himself. He proposes an alliance to investigate the Wings of the Magius but Madoka refuses to promise cooperation. She resolves to return to Kamihama with her friends, but then a Witch from Kamihama appears in Mitakihara.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 7: Eve of the Awakening]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura defeat the Kamihama Witch. They share Grief Seeds and note the alarming appearance of foreign Witches in their city. The trio resolves to go to Kamihama the next day to find answers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Around this time, Kyoko successfully infiltrates the Wings of the Magius. She is assigned to a team tasked with dealing with a group that erases Rumors, which she suspects is Iroha&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s group travels to the railway yard but finds it empty. They are ambushed by Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who summon Witches and during the battle, Kanagi uses her unique power to read Iroha&#039;s true intentions and confirms her sincerity. Kanagi then joins the fight and helps defeat the Amane sisters and their Black Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi uses her power on the defeated Amane sisters to read their minds and she learns that Tsuruno is still completely brainwashed and has become part of an Uwasa to protect it. She also learns Tsuruno&#039;s location is at the Ferris Wheel Field in Daito Ward and the group prepares to move out immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Sana and Felicia wait anxiously and Yachiyo calls them with an update.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Rena visits Kaede at her house, and after an argument involving slapping and pinching, Kaede reconciles with Rena and agrees to return to school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team arrives in Daito Ward, where Yachiyo and Iroha plan to enter the &amp;quot;amusement park&amp;quot; Rumor to save Tsuruno, while Felicia, Sana, Momoko, and Kanagi hold off the Wings of the Magius. The group locates the Rumor&#039;s entrance and Kanagi and Momoko stay behind to fight the Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo proceed and confront Alina, Touka, and Mifuyu, where Alina declares her intent to erase them. During the battle, Mifuyu secretly tells Yachiyo that destroying the main Uwasa will kill Tsuruno, and that they must instead tear the Uwasa from her by connecting with her heart. Mifuyu also reveals Tsuruno is in a Ferris wheel car.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101705 uwasatsuruno.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo enter the Rumor, &amp;quot;Chelation Land,&amp;quot; which induces a hazy, thoughtless state. They find Tsuruno, who has fully merged with the Uwasa and acts as the park&#039;s host. Tsuruno tries to force them to relax and stay, serving them hotpot in mugs reminiscent of Mikazuki Villa, but they refuse and attempt to reason with Tsuruno, and she attacks them. Following Mifuyu&#039;s advice, they combine their magic to tear the Uwasa from Tsuruno in one powerful strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nemu02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After Tsuruno is freed from the Uwasa, Yachiyo realizes that Tsuruno&#039;s cheerful demeanor was a facade to hide her pain and guilt over past events, including the death of Mel. The team defeats the main Uwasa of Chelation Land and the Magius, Touka, Nemu Hiiragi, and Alina, confront the group. Nemu reveals she is the &amp;quot;Creator&amp;quot; of all the Rumors in Kamihama and the Magius explain their goal: to use the energy generated by Rumors and Witches to hatch &amp;quot;Embryo Eve,&amp;quot; a being that will liberate all Magical Girls worldwide from the fate of becoming Witches. They state the phenomenon requires the presence of all three Magius and a massive energy source, for which they have used the people of Kamihama and the teams part ways in opposition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 14th==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101701 coaster02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, at Mikazuki Villa, the team summarizes the Magius&#039; plan and that Kamihama is an incubator for Embryo Eve. They resolve to stop the Magius due to the plan&#039;s high human cost and the group gives Yachiyo the set of sakura blossom-themed coasters as a symbol of their team unity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka are separately attacked by multiple Kamihama Witches in Mitakihara before reuniting. They realize the Witch incursion is a coordinated attack meant to prevent them from leaving Mitakihara. Their magic and Grief Seed reserves are heavily depleted in the constant battles.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the ongoing Witch attacks, the trio is overwhelmed by a powerful Witch and is forced to retreat. Sayaka breaks down, admitting her terror of becoming a Witch and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka share their fears and resolve to face the threat together. They are observed by Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, who imply the attack is part of their plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Fendt Hope, Kyoko, having gained the trust of her unit, is taken on a tour of the Wings of the Magius headquarters by her White Feather superior.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, the three defeat the Feathers sent to observe them, and after interrogating them, they receive a message from Iroha about how to save Mami. Holy Mami arrives to Mitakihara and reveals she brought the Witches to Mitakihara to keep the three of them &amp;quot;safe,&amp;quot; and insists the Magius will save them. Alina Gray also appears and traps Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka in a Barrier, which Mami seals with her ribbons.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her infiltration, Kyoko is taken to Hotel Fenthope by Mifuyu Azusa. She confronts Holy Mami, accusing her of not being the real Mami Tomoe. Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi arrive and reinforce the Rumor brainwashing on Mami. Mifuyu secretly escorts Kyoko away and reveals the Magius&#039; plans: they are using a mysterious entity called &amp;quot;Eve&amp;quot; to liberate Magical Girls and are deliberately bringing Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama to hatch it. Horrified, Kyoko rejects the Magius and is led out of the city by Mifuyu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Once More From Here]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko arrives in Mitakihara and frees Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka from Alina&#039;s Barrier. She explains the Magius&#039; plan to bring Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama and Homura urges the group to stay in Mitakihara for safety. Kyoko departs alone, later resolving to return and crush the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Iroha has a sudden memory flashback to the hospital, triggered by the word &amp;quot;sakura.&amp;quot; She remembers a story she, Ui, Touka, and Nemu created about the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot; She deduces this Rumor is real and located at the hospital, and that all the Rumors were created there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Touka and Nemu observe that Embryo Eve has reached a critical state and they confirm that a legendary, cross-dimensional event they foresaw: the arrival of Walpurgisnacht, will provide the final, massive energy surge needed to hatch Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo calls a meeting with the Mikazuki Villa household, Tsuruno, and the Momoko trio to share her concern that rumors persist even after they defeat the Uwasa themselves. The group splits up to investigate whether the original Uwasa have truly vanished or transformed into something new.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Hereafter]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko, Kaede, and Rena investigate the Breakup Staircase and find only scattered internet gossip remains. During their search, lingering tensions surface over Rena&#039;s painful memories of when Kaede was kidnapped by that Uwasa, but the trio ultimately reconciles and continues working together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno visit Mizuna Shrine, where the Séance Shrine Uwasa has transformed into a popular spot for relationship prayers with new mascots. They encounter a grieving girl who comes daily to pray for her deceased friend, and Yachiyo is reminded of her own departed companions Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Felicia track down the man behind the revived Misery Water rumor, who confesses he was scammed into buying the water and cannot bring himself to deceive others. Felicia helps him find honest work, and the rumors die out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana investigates an online forum where troubled users make veiled threats, but the rumor fades without incident. Tsuruno and Iroha check Chelation Land, where Tsuruno reflects on her past brainwashing and muses about whether some Uwasa exist independently of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The groups reconvene and report that all investigated rumors have left minimal traces. Yachiyo concludes their investigation of the Uwasa is complete, and only the Wings of Magius themselves remain to be confronted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voices from Beyond, Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the afterlife, Mel Anna meets Kanae Yukino, another Magical Girl ghost who also died fighting a Witch. Mel is thrilled to discover they were both on a team with Yachiyo Nanami and calls Kanae her senpai. Kanae takes Mel to a ghost cafe where deceased Magical Girls gather, explaining they cannot interact with the living world except through psychics.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Voices From Beyond]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they wander Kamihama, Mel notices Witch numbers rising dramatically and worries about Yachiyo. They follow Yachiyo and are relieved to find she has new companions in Iroha Tamaki and others, though they remain concerned about their former teammate Mifuyu&#039;s absence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, they watch helplessly as Yachiyo battles the Wings of Magius and eventually enters the Memory Museum, where she relives the trauma of losing Mel and Kanae. When Yachiyo dissolves her team afterward, convinced her magic causes others to die for her, the ghosts desperately try to reach her. Kanae notices Yachiyo kept their mementos: Mel&#039;s fortune log and Kanae&#039;s notebook. They focus their thoughts on these items, and that night, Yachiyo discovers their messages—Kanae&#039;s lyrics about forming a circle and Mel&#039;s fortune predicting the current events. Grateful, she resolves to move forward. Their successful contact gets their ghost licenses suspended, and they watch Yachiyo&#039;s dream of their encounter before fading.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 15th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius initiate a city-wide offensive, unleashing powerful Witches and sending brainwashed Black and White Feathers to indiscriminately attack other Magical Girls. Mami delivers a declaration of war to Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will no longer delay their plan for &amp;quot;freedom.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 8: Kamihama, Painted in Fiction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magical Girls of Kamihama form a coordinated response and Yachiyo&#039;s team devises a strategy: first, eliminate the unleashed Witches; second, protect other Magical Girls and direct them to Mitama&#039;s shop as a safe haven; third, deal with the rampaging Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, recalling the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; in Hokuyo Ward, theorizes it could be the location of the Magius&#039; hidden base. Yachiyo approves Iroha and Sana to investigate this lead separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next several hours, the teams execute the plan. Yachiyo rescues Ren from a Black Feather and escorts her to Mitama&#039;s shop. Kaede Afinds Konomi protecting an injured Kako; together they defeat a Witch and get Kako to safety. Rena aids Asuka and Sasara, later teaming with Ria and Manaka to defeat a Witch. Momoko and Aimi rescue Kokoro and Masara from Feathers. Tsuruno works with Hinano to eliminate a Witch and warns her about the Feathers. Felicia fights alongside Akira and Nanaka&#039;s group, eventually reuniting with Tsuruno. Kanagi protects Himika from Feathers and sends her to Mitama&#039;s. Yachiyo and Kanagi also rescue Riko and Ayaka from Feather attacks and track the enemy to a heliport. Yachiyo, Kanagi, Momoko&#039;s team, and Tsuruno&#039;s team successfully clear the city of the powerful Witches and they rescue and guide numerous Magical Girls to Mitama&#039;s shop. Momoko confronts Mitama, challenging her to abandon her neutral stance and Mitama agrees to allow her shop to be used as a headquarters and to share her knowledge about the Magius&#039; plans.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama reveals the truth that Magical Girls are destined to become Witches, and that the Magius aim to use the energy from Embryo Eve to spread the Doppel phenomenon worldwide, preventing this fate. However, their methods involve sacrificing the citizens of Kamihama and other Magical Girls to gather this energy, so the Magical Girls at the shelter decide to join the fight against the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, in Chuo Ward, Yachiyo and Kanagi are ambushed by Mami and a horde of brainwashed Feathers at the Kamihama Central Tower heliport. The battle is difficult due to the Feathers&#039; numbers and Mami&#039;s enhanced power from the Uwasa. Kanagi reads Mami&#039;s mind and finds her personality has been completely overwritten by the Uwasa&#039;s influence, leaving only her devotion to the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia then arrive as reinforcements and during the fight, a Black Feather loses her &amp;quot;Receiver Pendant.&amp;quot; Kanagi reads this Feather&#039;s mind, uncovering that the Feathers&#039; berserk state is caused by the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Receiver Pendant,&amp;quot; which numbs their emotions and forces them to obey the Magius&#039; orders. The memory also reveals the three Magius orchestrating the attack to harvest emotional energy from the chaos, believing it will bring their utopia closer. The Feather who lost her pendant then begins to regain her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team battles the brainwashed Mami and the Wings of the Magius. With the help of Momoko&#039;s team and Kanagi&#039;s ability to read the enemy&#039;s weakness, they remove the Uwasa from Mami, freeing her from its control. Mami collapses from exhaustion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Homura pleads with Madoka and Sayaka not to go to Kamihama, fearing for their lives against Walpurgisnacht. After initial hesitation, Madoka and Sayaka resolve to go and Homura agrees to accompany them. The trio leaves for Kamihama but cannot contact Iroha Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Upon arriving in Kamihama, the three are attacked by brainwashed Black Feathers in Sakae Ward, but the Feathers suddenly regain their senses and flee. The trio pursues them into Central Ward and meets Kanoko Yayoi, Karin Misono, and Natsuki Utsuho. They learn that other Magical Girls are gathering at Mitama Yakumo&#039;s office and Karin reveals she saw Nanaka Tokiwa carrying an unconscious Mami there. The group goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds Mami, who has been freed from the Magius&#039; control and awakens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius then execute their plan: they cause a city-wide blackout and seize control of Kamihama&#039;s radio waves and power grid. They use Nemu&#039;s power to project a false utopia over the city, attracting Witches, and Touka&#039;s power to send a signal that summons the legendary Witch, Walpurgisnacht. Their goal is to use the chaos and emotional energy to hatch &amp;quot;Eve.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana infiltrate the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; Labyrinth, initially having their presence hidden due to Sana&#039;s unique magic. There, Iroha confronts Touka and Nemu, using the Uwasa itself as proof that her memories of their shared past with Ui are real. Despite this, Touka and Nemu don&#039;t believe her and refuse to halt their plans. Alina arrives, captures Iroha, and takes her to their main base, Hotel Fendt Hope. Afterwards, Sana escapes and informs Yachiyo&#039;s arriving team of Iroha&#039;s capture.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Mitama reveals she previously supplied the Wings with Grief Seeds in exchange for neutrality but has now chosen to side with Yachiyo&#039;s team against them. Mami herself awakens, now having reconciled with her inner turmoil. Now, Yachiyo&#039;s team, reinforced by Momoko&#039;s team and Mami, prepares to assault Hotel Fendt Hope to rescue Iroha and stop the Magius before Walpurgisnacht arrives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, freed from the Uwasa&#039;s influence, resolves to expose the Magius&#039; true plans to the Feathers and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka decide to support her instead of joining Iroha&#039;s group. Nanaka and her team escort them to the heliport and during the journey, Mami explains to Nanaka that the Feathers&#039; loyalty was placed not in the Magius themselves, but in Mifuyu Azusa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the heliport, Mami arrives where the exhausted Feathers and Kamihama Magical Girls are at a stalemate. She reveals the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice hundreds of civilians, including the Feathers&#039; own friends and family, to Walpurgisnacht. She also details their previous use of the Chelation Land Rumor for a similar purpose and the Feathers are shocked and dismayed. Some even accuse Mami of hypocrisy, which she does not deny.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Feathers split into two factions: one that still desires liberation at any cost and another that vows to protect Kamihama. A fight breaks out between them and Madoka and the others defend Mami, declaring their unwavering friendship. Moved, Mami asks the Feathers if they have anyone they trust unconditionally, as she now does, and the Feathers state they trust Mifuyu and demand to hear the truth from her directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami entrusts the Feathers to Nanaka&#039;s team, while she, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka then proceed to Hotel Fendthope to aid Iroha. On the way, Mami thanks her friends and asks them to rely on her as an equal ally and friend, not as a veteran. They arrive at the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Mitama is guarding the entrance. She confirms she is aware of Mami&#039;s past struggles and allows the group to pass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 16th==&lt;br /&gt;
* At Hotel Fendt Hope, Sana infiltrates the hotel to find Iroha and she overhears Feathers discussing Iroha&#039;s location and heads there. Iroha is held in a cell and, with her Soul Gem confiscated, she reflects on her memories of Ui, Touka, and Nemu and resolves to stop the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their plans and Alina demands Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem and body be brought to her. A weather report at the same time indicates the approach of Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana locates Iroha&#039;s cell, and she breaks Iroha out, but the act of breaking the cell door triggers an Uwasa, as the entire building is part of a Rumor. Sana defeats the Uwasa and as they flee, they are ambushed by Black Feathers. Kyoko Sakura, who was undergoing an orientation with the Feathers but decided against joining them, intervenes and helps defeat the attackers as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha explains the Magius&#039; goal is to summon Walpurgisnacht, and Kyoko reveals the Magius also plan to use Iroha, Mifuyu, and the Amane sisters as nourishment for &amp;quot;Eve,&amp;quot; the core of the system. Suddenly, Iroha collapses and stops breathing due to the distance from her Soul Gem. A Black Feather who pretended to be unconscious seizes Iroha&#039;s body and escapes with it, and Sana and Kyoko give chase.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team enters the Hotel Fendt Hope through the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth and they split into two teams: Yachiyo&#039;s group heads to the top floor to rescue Mifuyu and the Amane sisters, while Momoko&#039;s group searches for Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team finds Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa unconscious, their bodies separated from their Soul Gems. They quickly recover the Soul Gems, reviving the three, and Mifuyu confirms the Magius summoned Walpurgisnacht to provide energy to hatch Eve. Mifuyu and the Amane sisters renounce the Magius and join Yachiyo&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Iroha is transported by a Black Feather who reveals her motivation: her younger sister turned into a Witch, and she supports the Magius to prevent others from suffering the same fate. Momoko&#039;s team intercepts them and rescues Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko and Sana fight their way through the hotel and reunite with the main group. Momoko&#039;s team recovers a bag containing Iroha&#039;s, Mifuyu&#039;s, and the Amane sisters&#039; Soul Gems. A group of Feathers from the East confronts them but is persuaded by Kanagi to stand down, and they retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the teams reunited, the full coalition of Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, Kanagi, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Kyoko regroups. They possess all the stolen Soul Gems and are united in their goal to stop the Magius and confront Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team&#039;s path to the underground chapel is blocked and Mifuyu determines the magical building, a Rumor crafted by Nemu Hiiragi, has been reconfigured. Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa attempt to break the blockade, but a powerful magical wind erupts, separating the group. Mifuyu, the Amane sisters, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, and Kyoko are blown outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, Sana, Felicia, Tsuruno, and Kanagi remain inside and they defeat an Uwasa that attacks them. Mifuyu communicates from outside that they are locked out, and she devises a new plan: her group will gather other Kamihama Magical Girls to attack and destroy the Uwasa of Hotel Fendt Hope itself, which will collapse the building. She instructs Yachiyo&#039;s group to hurry to the underground chapel for safety before the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu&#039;s group fights off Witches released by Alina Gray as a defense measure. Mami, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka also arrive and assist them. After the battle, Mami convinces Mifuyu to address all the Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, and using the Amane sisters&#039; sound magic, Mifuyu broadcasts a telepathic message across Kamihama, revealing the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice civilians and summon Walpurgisnacht. She urges the Feathers to lay down their arms and prepare to fight the legendary Witch. Many Feathers also heed her call and defect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami then uses her magic to create a small opening in the building&#039;s barrier and enters Hotel Fendt Hope alone to rejoin Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kyoko is noted to be absent. Yachiyo&#039;s team searches for the entrance to the underground chapel and Mami reveals she concealed the entrance with her magic. She severs the ribbon hiding the path, officially breaking her ties with the Wings of the Magius and Mami then leaves to assist with the attack on the Uwasa of Fendt Hope outside. Kyoko meets Mami along the way and gives her a Grief Seed before they both exit the building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team then encounters false copies of Touka, Nemu, and Alina from the Mirror Witch&#039;s barrier; they realize the fakes speak differently and defeat them before continuing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, Mifuyu&#039;s group, now joined by Mami, Kyoko, and the Feathers who defected, attacks the Uwasa of Fendt Hope. Despite a coordinated assault, the Uwasa proves extremely resilient and withstands their combined power. The battle continues as the city-wide weather disaster escalates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team proceeds down a long staircase into a deep, dark underground area filled with strong magical impurities. Along the way, they are confronted by Mirror copies of themselves that voice their deepest insecurities, but each member overcomes their own doubts by relying on their friends. In the underground chapel, they find Alina, Nemu, and Touka waiting for them. At the back of the chapel, they see the massive, unhatched form of the Witch known as Embryo Eve. They reveal the full scope of their plan. They explain that Kyubey&#039;s true mission is to harvest the emotional energy of Magical Girls to counteract the universe&#039;s heat death. The cycle of hope and despair, culminating in a Magical Girl&#039;s transformation into a Witch, produces the necessary energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius intend to usurp this system. They plan to use the phase transition energy from Eve&#039;s transformation into a full Witch to create a permanent forcefield over Kamihama. This field would allow Magical Girls to release their impurities as Doppels instead of becoming Witches, and the energy would be fed back to the universe, making Kyubey and new Magical Girl contracts obsolete. The imminent arrival of Walpurgisnacht is a key part of their plan, as its destruction by Eve will provide the massive energy required.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Despite understanding the plan, Iroha and her team refuse to accept the Magius&#039; methods or their control over the future. The Magius argue that without their plan, Walpurgisnacht will destroy the city regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 2.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, the battle against the Uwasa of Fendt Hope continues. Realizing they are losing, Mifuyu uses a dangerous self-illusion to unleash all her magic at once in a final attack. She destroys the Uwasa but becomes incapacitated in the process as her Soul Gem starts breaking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the chapel, the destruction of the Uwasa causes Fendt Hope&#039;s Labyrinth to collapse, and the chapel is exposed to the outside as the building disappears. After the collapse of Hotel Fendt Hope, the teams reunite in the forest as the Labyrinth vanishes. Yachiyo learns that Mifuyu was severely injured destroying the Uwasa and was taken to Mitama for treatment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius appear with Embryo Eve, now freed from the chapel, and they prepare to fully release Eve so it can devour the approaching Walpurgisnacht. A battle ensues as the teams try to stop them and Iroha and Sana break through the defensive line of Familiars to attack Eve directly. Iroha&#039;s attack on Eve fails and Eve captures Iroha but does not harm her. A bright light emanates from Iroha, allowing Sana to rescue her. Sana reveals she possesses a branch from the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, which was not in bloom when she received it. The branch suddenly blossoms after Iroha touches Eve and Iroha realizes that Embryo Eve is her missing sister, Ui Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana confront Embryo Eve on Takayama Mountain and Iroha believes Eve is her sister, Ui Tamaki, but Eve breaks free from the mountain and begins to move toward Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama City, Walpurgisnacht approaches from the sea, accompanied by a massive horde of Familiars that begin to swarm the city. Magical Girl teams led by Hinano Miyako and Nanaka Tokiwa engage the Familiars along the coast to prevent widespread destruction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the ruins of Hotel Fendt Hope, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo bring the injured Mifuyu to Mitama Yakumo for emergency aid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Takayama Mountain, Iroha pleads with the combined Magical Girl forces not to kill Eve, revealing her belief that it is Ui. The Magius leaders and Alina retreat. Eve leaps into the sky, heading for Sankyo Ward in Kamihama. Yachiyo Nanami&#039;s team prepares to pursue Eve, while Madoka Kaname&#039;s group from Mitakihara heads to the coast to help defend against Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Magius headquarters, Touka and Nemu dismiss Iroha&#039;s claims about Ui, despite Nemu&#039;s private suspicions. Alina expresses interest in Iroha&#039;s memories but remains focused on Eve&#039;s hatching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Eve&#039;s arrival in Sankyo Ward, Mitama informs Iroha and the team that Ui&#039;s true body and Soul Gem are contained within Embryo Eve, which is a &amp;quot;Half-Witch.&amp;quot; To save Ui, they must defeat Eve&#039;s manifested form without destroying the Soul Gem and Mitama identifies a large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest as the core that maintains its form and its weak point. Mitama also treats the comatose Mifuyu, whose Soul Gem is critically cracked from overuse. Mitama stabilizes it but cannot fully heal her, and Tsukuyo and Tsukasa decide to rejoin the fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Eve rampages through Sankyo Ward, the combined Magical Girl teams attack Eve but find their assaults completely ineffective. Mitama, the Amane sisters, and other groups like Hinano Miyako&#039;s team regroup and they decide to consolidate their forces: one group will focus on defeating Eve, while the other prepares for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s landfall.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia readies her hammer and strikes Eve on the head with a magic‑powered blow, using her memory‑obliterating ability to confuse Eve and halt its advance; in the aftermath of the strike, a strange glow is visible near Eve&#039;s belly. Meanwhile, the Amane sisters relay the critical intelligence about Eve&#039;s red jewel weak point to Yachiyo&#039;s team. Eve begins to move toward Chuo Ward, and Sana proposes a plan to immobilize Eve so the team can target its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, the combined forces of Yachiyo&#039;s team, the Amane sisters, and other White Feathers execute a plan to immobilize Embryo Eve. They use chains from Sana&#039;s shield, spears, and plants to bind Eve to a large building and Iroha successfully strikes the large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest, its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eve retaliates by absorbing a massive vortex of impurities its Familiars had collected, causing its body to mutate and merge with the jewel. Iroha then sees a vision of Ui trapped within the core, reaffirming her resolve to save her, but the Magius arrive to protect Eve and ensure it consumes Walpurgisnacht. Iroha declares her intent to enter the gem to save Ui directly, and despite being severely injured, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia hold off the Magius, creating an opening for Iroha to advance toward Eve&#039;s core.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:10-19.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha reaches Ui&#039;s body but cannot shatter the gem surrounding it completely. Touka arrives at her side, and questions her motives. Iroha declares Ui is her sister and a precious friend to Touka and Nemu, and as Iroha reaches for Ui, the Embryo Eve attacks and Lil&#039; Kyubey intervenes and blocks the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu experience a flood of memories, recalling the original events. She remembers seeing Iroha with Kyubey in a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, learning about Magical Girls, and devising a plan with Ui and Nemu to usurp Kyubey&#039;s powers to create an automatic purification system and save all Magical Girls. Their plan failed when Ui&#039;s &amp;quot;harvest&amp;quot; ability went haywire upon her transformation, forcing Nemu to sever Ui&#039;s soul from her body and store it within the de-powered, small Kyubey to prevent her from becoming a Witch. This act erased Ui from the world&#039;s memory, as well as any traces of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Regaining their memories, Touka uses her stored energy to destabilize the Embryo Eve and Nemu uses her stories to restrain it. Iroha shatters Eve&#039;s central gem, and the small Kyubey releases Ui&#039;s soul. Ui awakens and reassures Touka and Nemu that she does not blame them for their shared decision. The Embryo Eve, now soulless, begins to decay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined Magical Girl forces, including Mami, Kyoko, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura, continue their battle against Walpurgisnacht in Chuo Ward. Despite their numbers, the Witch proves immensely powerful and resilient.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102304 mikage desire.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, a massive explosion of light and energy erupts from the location of the decaying Embryo Eve. The Eve has transformed into a new, stable form, and Touka deduces that Alina, who had previously shrunk the anti-Kyubey forcefield to contain the city&#039;s energy, has now wrapped that forcefield tightly around Eve. This action stabilized Eve&#039;s energy and prevented its decay, allowing Alina to control it as a tool for her art. Alina appears, now fused with an Uwasa in a manner similar to [[Holy Mami]], and declares her intent to use Eve to create her ultimate masterpiece, disregarding the goal of Magical Girl liberation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, as this is taking place, [[Mikage Yakumo]], Mitama&#039;s younger sister, is approached by Kyubey when the Barrier disappears. After he explains Mitama&#039;s wish to her, Mikage makes a wish of her own to undo the effects of Mitama&#039;s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Chapter 2: Smiles and Fireworks]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Holy Alina]] asserts that humanity subconsciously desires destruction and that she will use the Embryo Eve to fulfill this wish as her ultimate artwork. Kanagi confronts her own past desire to destroy the city due to its history of conflict but ultimately rejects Alina&#039;s path as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 nemu uwasa.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu, as the creator of Alina&#039;s Uwasa, takes responsibility. She uses the last of her life force to summon every Uwasa recorded in her book to attack Alina directly. The attack defeats Alina, making her disappear, but Nemu collapses, severely weakened and unable to move her legs, so White Feathers evacuate her to safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 eve user1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Embryo Eve, now uncontrolled, begins to rampage and targets Ui, attempting to reabsorb her. Lil&#039; Kyubey implies a solution: it will take Ui&#039;s place within Eve. Touka realizes that the small Kyubey, which contains Ui&#039;s former soul and Kyubey&#039;s original functions, possesses similar attributes to Eve. It is also incapable of becoming a Witch. Lil&#039; Kyubey merges with the Embryo Eve, causing it to release all orbs of light from its body, lading in different parts of Kamihama. The small Kyubey thus becomes the core of the &amp;quot;Automatic Purification System&amp;quot; that Touka, Ui, and Nemu originally envisioned, preventing Magical Girls from becoming Witches within Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival, the combined forces of Magical Girls, including the various teams from Kamihama and the team from Mitakihara, are on the verge of defeat. Homura and the others exhaust their weapons and energy in a desperate attempt to defeat it. They are exhausted, out of Grief Seeds, many are incapacitated, and despite their injuries and depleted resources, the girls refuse to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Last Magia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Walpurgisnacht prepares a massive attack that seems certain to annihilate them, an unknown, benevolent force envelops the Magical Girls. Iroha hears a mysterious voice and sees white feathers raining down, an experience shared by everyone on the battlefield. They all experience a sudden surge of energy and a feeling of being urged forward. This voice is from the Law of Cycles, who had been watching the timeline but not interfering with it. The feathers rejuvenate the group, lifting their spirits and empowering them to continue fighting; their strength is restored, and even the injured find themselves able to fight again. With morale returned, they rally together for one final, united assault, redirecting Walpurgisnacht to Kaihin Park using a coordinated strategy with their unique magical abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined forces of Magical Girls coordinate their unique magics to combat Walpurgisnacht: &lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Natsuki Utsuho initiate the counterattack by using their Encouragement and Cheering magic to boost the morale and power of all allies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seizing this surge of energy, the team implements a complex strategy to control the battlefield. First, Felicia, Meiyui Chun, and Rika Ayano use their Memory Erasure, Persuasion, and Mind-Altering magic to disorient Walpurgisnacht and force it to change course toward the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** To precisely guide the Witch to the intended battleground, Tsuruno, Riko Chiaki, and Emiri Kisaki then use their Good Luck, Luring, and Charm magic, successfully leading Walpurgisnacht to the beachfront park while evading its attacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Once there, the focus shifts to immobilizing the colossal foe. Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Asuka Tatsuki use their Flute Blossom Resonance and Action Control magic in an attempt to halt Walpurgisnacht&#039;s movement entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When it retaliates, Himika Mao diverts its attacks, creating an opening for Kanagi Izumi, who, with a power boost from Mitama&#039;s Coordination, attacks it directly to stun it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** This creates the crucial opening for a full restraint, and Mami, Kanoko Yayoi, and Kaede use Ribbon Binding, Stitching, and Plant magic to ensnare the Witch, which Rena amplified by using her Transformation magic to transform into Kaede and double the restraining power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Walpurgisnacht finally immobilized, Nanaka organizes their forces while Hazuki Yusa and Akira Shinobu identify its weak point with their magic, a gear connected to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire group then launch a coordinated, all-out assault, with offensive magics like Hinano Miyako&#039;s Chemical Explosions leading the charge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout the final attack, Kokoro Awane, Ayame Mikuri, and Konoha Shizumi provide vital defense with their Wall Creation, Safeguarding, and Fog Generation magic, protecting the assault team and ensuring their united strike could land.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Realizing their combined assault was not enough to deliver a final blow, the Magical Girls regroup and to ensure they could act as one perfect unit, Reira Ibuki uses her Purifying Flame to heal their wounds and replenish their energy, while Mito Aino uses her Heart-Linking magic to synchronize their hearts and minds, allowing their resolve to become perfectly aligned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With their spirits united, they form a new strategy and Konomi Haruna uses her magic to force their Fighting Spirit to Bloom, amplifying their collective potential, while Kako Natsume uses her Event Reproduction magic to reinforce the gathered energy, and Ren Isuzu enacts her Nirvana magic to ensure the attack would bring permanent rest to the Witch if successful.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The plan to create a final weapon then commences. Ui uses her Harvest magic to gather the hope and magical energy from every single Magical Girl on the battlefield. She passes this immense energy to Touka, who used her Conversion magic to condense it all into a single, concentrated mass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* This mass of collective hope is then entrusted to Yachiyo, whose unique magic of Inheritance allows her to embody and control the power. She and Iroha shape this energy into a gigantic, radiant arrow aimed at the weak point that had been identified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they prepared to fire, Walpurgisnacht launches an attack to free itself from their binds. In that moment, Homura activates her Time-Stop, and touches Iroha, allowing her to move within the suspended time and take aim unimpeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the path clear, Iroha releases the arrow and strikes the central gear with overwhelming force. As time resumed, the arrow consumed Walpurgisnacht in a brilliant explosion, finally ending the calamity and clearing the sky over Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102005 magicalgirl3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura reflects that she has finally surpassed this battle after countless timelines, and Madoka expresses relief that no more people will suffer from Walpurgisnacht. The girls in Kamihama also celebrate their hard-earned victory, despite the fact that many are injured and exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Epilogue==&lt;br /&gt;
* Some days after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, Iroha and Ui see their parents off at the airport as they leave for their overseas assignment. Iroha and Ui then return to Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama City, where Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana welcome them back. Mifuyu is also present, as Iroha was able to use her magic to repair Mifuyu&#039;s damaged Soul Gem, allowing her to recover. Later that day, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Kanagi, and Mitama visit Mikazuki Villa as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, [[Ultimate Madoka]], a being who identifies as a record-keeper of all universes reflects on the new timeline centered on Kamihama. She states she intervened one last time by sending a &amp;quot;rain of feathers&amp;quot; to empower the Magical Girls but will now only observe, fearing further direct interference could damage this fragile new reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu organize a meeting for all Magical Girls involved in the recent conflict to discuss the actions of the Wings of the Magius and the future fate of all Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu visit the Eternal Sakura. The Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura congratulates them on finally being together as friends and Nemu, who now uses a wheelchair, accepts her condition as a consequence of her past actions. Iroha briefly wonders about the whereabouts of the small Kyubey that once accompanied her, and then meet Lil&#039; Kyubey in the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After some days, Homura reflects on their victory. Despite saving Madoka and defeating Walpurgisnacht, she feels uncertain. The fundamental curse of Magical Girls becoming Witches remains, and she questions if this timeline is truly the best outcome. At school, Mami informs the group about recent disappearances and people getting lost, which they attribute to a new Witch. They devise a plan to track it by mapping the incidents. Kyoko arrives from Kazamino, also hunting the same Witch, and a tense alliance forms.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: The Place We Finally Reached]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group splits into teams to search the area Mami identified. Madoka notices Homura&#039;s preoccupation and reassures her. The teams locate the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and coordinate their attack. During the battle, Homura fears for her friends&#039; safety, but they work together effectively. Kyoko and Sayaka create an opening for Mami and Madoka to deliver the final blow, while Homura evacuates the Witch-Kissed civilians.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Kyoko gives the Grief Seed to Mami and Sayaka declares she has no regrets about becoming a Magical Girl, valuing the power to protect and the friends she has made. This prompts Mami to reconcile with Kyoko, asking to be true friends who help each other when needed again, to which Kyoko agrees. Madoka then states she is also glad she became a Magical Girl, expressing faith in the future because of her friends. This resolve causes Homura to weep with joy, finally believing this timeline, where they face their fate together, could be the one she sought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group, including Kyoko, shares a meal at a pancake restaurant. They discuss an upcoming meeting in Kamihama to address the Magius&#039; actions. While Kyoko opts not to attend, the others plan to update her later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 04 00 0042 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One Saturday, Mami volunteers to help clean the damage done by the Magius incident and Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura go along as well. During it, a Witch attacks and a Magical Girl they were helping unleashes a Doppel. They defeat the Witch and the girl falls unconscious, so Mami takes her to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After stabilizing her, Mami asks Mitama to help her face her own Doppel and she guides Mami to look within. Mami meets her Doppel and it tries to convince her to forget the past, yet Mami refuses and proclaims that she accepts the Doppel as part of herself. Mami then wakes up, thanking everyone and says they will build the future together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cherry Blossom Dreams===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, the Eternal Sakura completed her duties as an Uwasa when her tree came into full bloom. Her Rumor was rewritten and she was connected to Touka&#039;s server, reborn as an Uwasa with ample knowledge who would later be named Sakurako. Around this time, Yachiyo received a message asking what should be done about the six ringleaders of the Magius—Touka Satomi, Nemu Hiiragi, Mifuyu Azusa, Mitama Yakumo, Tsukuyo Amane, and Tsukasa Amane. Nemu proposed rewriting the Eternal Sakura to serve as an impartial judge. They designed three trials: the first to analyze crimes and calculate a verdict, the second to survey all Magical Girls, and the third to reach a final decision based on responses. Punishments ranged from monitoring to destruction of the Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the first trial, Sakurako sentenced Touka and Nemu to the maximum penalty. Mifuyu received power revocation, reduced from maximum due to testimony that she helped destroy Fendt Hope. Mitama received conditional power revocation, allowed to transform only for Coordinator work. The Amane sisters received power restriction. After the trial, Touka and Nemu remained calm, thanking everyone. Yachiyo noted they had intentionally omitted their ages from consideration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Nemu and Sakurako wait at a train station with others. Nearby girls whisper about Nemu, recognizing her as one of the Magius and questioning why she faces no punishment. Ui argues with Iroha about using the Stardust Time Viewer, while Touka pushes through the crowd, disheveled from navigating the train alone. The three girls reunite, each feeling it is a dream. Touka sends Ui a photo of the map they created together in the hospital. The group travels to the mall, where Ui finally visits the croquette shop she always wanted to try, and they share plates to taste each other&#039;s orders. From there, they take a rickshaw to Mizuna Shrine, where they briefly encounter Tsukuyo and Tsukasa, who quickly hurry away. The group buys prayer plaques, though most hesitate at the cost until a shrine attendant suggests writing prayers on the back of their fortunes instead. Iroha wishes for all Magical Girls to get along, while Touka and Nemu write their own wishes. They argue over where to go next—Touka wants a lookout point in Hokuyo Ward, but Ui resists rushing. Sakurako suggests they also face reality, so they head to Central Ward, still scarred from Walpurgisnacht and Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui admits she used the library as an excuse to bring them here, hoping the Stardust Time Viewer would show them a hopeful future. Nemu summons the Rumor, transporting them to a star-filled space. The Viewer shows Iroha&#039;s future: a world where the Doppel system has expanded globally and all Magical Girls coexist peacefully. Iroha feels embarrassed, but Sakurako assures her the wish is beautiful. When Ui asks to see her own future, the Viewer has nothing to show. Ui realizes this means Touka and Nemu are absent from Iroha&#039;s future and accuses them of planning to die. The vision fades, returning them to the rubble of Central Ward. Touka and Nemu admit they believe they should die for their crimes, pointing to the destruction around them, the Feathers they manipulated, and the innocent people hurt. Sakurako confirms she knew this all along. Ui slaps them both, demanding they consider how she feels. Nemu explains they wanted to do what they could while they still had time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second trial begins. No surveys have arrived. Sakurako agrees to wait one hour. Yachiyo and others leave to retrieve them. Mifuyu confronts Touka and Nemu, asking if they sabotaged the surveys. They admit they did, altering the date so the surveys would not arrive in time. They wanted to be judged and sentenced to death to spare Ui from the hatred directed at them. Ui refuses to accept this. She and Iroha transform to protect them. The hour ends and Sakurako moves to deliver punishment. Iroha and Ui hold her back as Mifuyu and Mitama join the defense. The Amane sisters attack Sakurako with their flutes, accepting heavier sentences. Iroha realizes they can use photos of the surveys as evidence. Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s phones begin chiming with images from Yachiyo and the others. Iroha begs Sakurako to accept the evidence. Sakurako confirms the surveys are real and delays the trial, requiring them to arrive by day&#039;s end. The surveys show Magical Girls believe Touka and Nemu should be punished, but not killed. Some suggest atonement, rehabilitation, or mentorship. Reading the responses, Touka and Nemu weep, but Ui weeps with joy. Based on the surveys, sentences are reduced. Touka and Nemu receive monitoring with transformation-prevention bracelets, while Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s sentences are reduced to monitoring. The Amane sisters are found not guilty and Feathers who revealed themselves have their cases dismissed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the group gathers. Touka and Nemu wear their bracelets. Sakurako serves drinks. Mifuyu asks about tutoring Touka in exchange for help with pharmacy school. Nemu will rely on Sakurako for mobility on difficult days. Tsuruno suggests welcoming them as the Brains of Kamihama. In the kitchen, Sakurako hugs Touka and Nemu, then Iroha and Ui. She tells them she loves them. The days she always dreamed of have arrived. The real spring can finally begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocolatier in Mirror Country===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro, Masara, Konomi, Asuka and Sasara gather at Manaka&#039;s place to plan their charity bazaar booth. Kokoro and Masara participate to help Himika&#039;s family without making it obvious, while Asuka and Sasara join to invite a lonely girl named Chi whose father died. Konomi&#039;s booth was invited directly due to her popular Valentine&#039;s bouquets. They agree on a collaboration between Walnuts and Blossom the florist, dividing tasks among themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Warming Valentine]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Manaka&#039;s father&#039;s help, Kokoro and Masara make bear-shaped chocolates. Asuka recruits dojo volunteers, Sasara invites Chi and designs leaflets, and Konomi prepares bouquets with Izayoi&#039;s help decorating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the bazaar, adults receive bouquets with donation and children get free chocolates. Chi and her mother visit happily. Himika initially refuses chocolate but accepts after realizing her siblings want it, and they enjoy the day together. The event succeeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later at a celebration party, Sasara and Kokoro feel their efforts changed nothing. Masara scolds them for impatience, explaining kindness takes time. Kanagi and Asuka arrive with good news that Himika&#039;s family is making White Day gifts, and Chi&#039;s mother now calls daily. Relieved, they enjoy the party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Valentine&#039;s Day, girls give chocolates to loved ones. Sasara gives to her father, Asuka to her cousin, and Konomi to her aunt. Masara and Kokoro exchange chocolates at their favorite spot, and Kokoro tearfully reconciles with her parents. Elsewhere, Rena and Tsukuyo each struggle to give chocolates to Kaede and Tsukasa. Following a rumor, they separately pray at a radio tower, accidentally encounter each other, and successfully give their chocolates when Kaede and Tsukasa also arrive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, in Mitakihara, Nagisa bakes a chocolate cake with Mami while feeling that something is wrong, as her memories feel hazy and she seems more childish than she should be. She realizes her memories of being longtime friends with Mami are false, yet she recognizes that the warmth she feels is what she has always wanted. When they finish the cake, a Witch that looks like a younger version of Nagisa steals it, and they chase it into a mirror, finding themselves in a transformed version of the Mirror Witch&#039;s Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Chocolatier in Mirror Country]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They encounter Madoka and Homura trapped in a time loop illusion, free them, and learn that Sayaka and Kyoko went ahead and are now missing. They find Sayaka and Kyoko trapped in a competition for a magical cake, so Mami and Nagisa enter and win by choosing a song they both know well. Using the cake&#039;s wishes, they reunite the group and defeat the attacking Witch. Nagisa realizes she has two sets of memories and deduces the chocolate-loving Witch is an alternate version of herself who wished for chocolate cake instead of cheesecake. This Witch has been consuming the Labyrinth&#039;s power and attracting Witches from parallel worlds through mirror gates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The little Witch steals the cake again, and during the chase, Nagisa and Mami become separated in a dark fog. A poem warns them not to open their eyes or they will lose each other, but Nagisa&#039;s self-doubt overwhelms her. Remembering losing her mother and everyone else, she convinces herself Mami is not really there, opens her eyes, and is consumed by the Witch. The group fights through countless gates to find her and engages the master Witch. Inside, Mami finds Nagisa, hugs her tightly, and promises they will always be friends because of the future they will share, not false memories. Nagisa finally believes her, and the cake is returned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group realizes that even with the master Witch defeated, other Witches have taken its place, so they must clear them all to restore the Labyrinth. They commit to finishing the job together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Labyrinth is cleared, they gather at Mami&#039;s apartment for a chocolate party where Nagisa officially gives Mami the cake. They play poker with chocolate coins to decide how to share the remaining half, and Mami wins, but she divides the cake equally among all six. Everyone agrees it is the best cake in the universe. Nagisa thanks Mami, and Mami welcomes her warmly, calling her a little chocolatier and a lovely new addition to their circle of friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Kamihama, that night, Tsukuyo finds Rena praying at the Chuo Ward radio tower, having both read an online article claiming that twenty minutes of prayer there ensures successful apologies to loved ones. Tsukuyo confesses she hurt her twin sister Tsukasa by rejecting their Valentine&#039;s plans after failing at homemade chocolate, while Rena admits she snapped at Kaede and claimed she had no chocolate for her after Kaede had given her some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The 14th Day Where I Can&#039;t Be Honest]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their conversation is interrupted when Tsukasa and Kaede suddenly appear, having anticipated their partners would come here to apologize. Tsukasa assures Tsukuyo she was not upset and would treasure any chocolate from her, urging her to be easier on herself. Kaede forgives Rena and asks simply for her to be more honest. Together, the two pairs exchange Valentine&#039;s wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany===&lt;br /&gt;
* Walpurgisnacht&#039;s attack on Kamihama City caused massive damage to Chuo Ward, which the public believes was a natural disaster. Only Magical Girls know the truth and privately, Mitama reflects that the victory gave her hope, but she wonders if the destruction she once wished for can be defied.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0008 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after Walpurgisnacht, Mitama realizes Doyle has not visited her shop and the last saw him the day before Walpurgisnacht. She assumes the storm made him too scared to go out, so she decides to close her shop and search for him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama looks around the vacant land near her shop and a girl named Ritsumi offers to help. Ritsumi’s cat Arthur ran away before, so she knows where cats hide. They search but find nothing and Ritsumi says Arthur now lives with her grandpa. Mitama realizes Ritsumi is the daughter of the neighbor who owns Arthur and Mitama had mistaken Arthur for Doyle and that Ritsumi has never actually seen Doyle. They end the day without clues and Mitama sends a message to the Magical Girls’ group chat asking if anyone has seen a white tabby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama knocks on the neighbor’s door and Ritsumi’s mother answers. She explains that Arthur was sent away two weeks ago to Ritsumi’s grandpa. Mitama realizes that no one knows where Doyle came from. Ritsumi’s mother promises to keep an eye out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana, Asuka, and others from Mizuna Girls’ Academy saw Mitama’s group chat post and they arrive to help. More volunteers soon arrive: Kaede, Kako, Rena, Konoha’s team, and others. They split up to cover Shinsei Ward and Mitama notes that no one else has ever seen Doyle. Konoha says she never saw a cat at Mitama’s shop. Rena also asks for a photo, but Mitama has none.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds Ritsumi near the bus stop and they search door to door. No one in the neighborhood has seen a white tabby kitten either. Ritsumi says she has read all “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” books and that her favorite is “Invisible Epiphany,” about a detective searching for a lost child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko meets Mitama alone. Momoko says she never saw Doyle and neither did Tsukasa or the other girls. Mitama remembers talking to Doyle in front of them, but they saw no cat ither. Momoko suggests a Rumor is involved, as all Rumors disappeared after the fight with the Magius, except the Eternal Sakura. Coincidentally, Doyle disappeared at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls Nemu, who is still in the hospital and Nemu explains that Doyle was part of the Rumor of the Cat Detective. The Rumor possesses detective novel lovers, detects signs of a case, gets the detective involved, and guarantees a solution. Nemu explains she erased almost all Rumors, including this one. Mitama thinks Doyle disappeared because the Rumor was destroyed and she had solved four cases with Doyle’s help, yet the fifth never began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama re-reads her case files and each one has an opening paragraph she does not remember writing. The first case file hints at Hanna Sarasa. The second hints at Tsukasa. The third and fourth also name the culprits. Mitama realizes Doyle left those hints, and Nemu says the Rumor did not cause incidents, only detected them, so those incidents would have happened anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0009 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Kamihama slowly returns to order. Mitama notes that she cannot rely on Doyle anymore and she hopes she does not get any new cases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui and the Eternal Sakura visit Mitama to deliver a lampshade from Yachiyo. Ui says a girl from her school has gone missing and Mitama is shocked to learn the girl is Ritsumi, who did not come home after school yesterday and the police are investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama goes to the bus stop near her shop and finds Ritsumi’s mother. The mother says Ritsumi likely went to Hokuyo Ward to see her grandpa and Arthur. Ritsumi’s parents are separated and her father lives with his parents in Hokuyo Ward. The mother believes Ritsumi wanted to visit them, but the bus route to Hokuyo was suspended after the disaster but has resumed, bypassing Chuo Ward. Soon, Himika calls Mitama. Himika saw a girl matching Ritsumi’s description waiting at the Shinsei Ward bus stop yesterday, reading a book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi arrive and Momoko explains she has been investigating at school. Ritsumi transferred to Kamihama University Affiliated School six months ago after her parents separated and she moved into the building next to Mitama’s shop. Momoko explains Arthur went to live with her father in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo Ward. Mitama realizes the conflicting information: Arthur was first in Chuo Ward, then evacuated to the grandpa’s house in Hokuyo after the disaster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Satomi Medical Center, Nemu discusses the case with Eternal Sakura. Nemu recalls the hidden hints in Mitama’s case files. The last words of each hint spell “Lost Through Time Eternal,” which is the title of volume 12 of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” In that story, a girl runs away to her old home. Nemu deduces that Ritsumi went to her old apartment in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo. She likely got off at the nearest bus stop and walked into the restricted zone, then she had an accident.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Momoko, and Kanagi search the area near the old apartment and they hear a voice. Ritsumi had fallen into an old underground passage and sprained her ankle. She lost track of time and had no phone. Mitama explains she remembered the Doyle book and Ritsumi admits she was copying the girl in the story as she wanted to see the area where she grew up. The three quickly rescue her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ritsumi is taken to a hospital and also discharged quickly. Her parents agree to let her visit both of them and Arthur whenever she likes. Mitama reflects that Doyle gave her confidence and the city she cursed is still standing, so she dares to believe in hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Momoko finally holds the Coordinator Thank-You Party that was postponed earlier and Rena and Kaede thank Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui reads &amp;quot;The Happy Prince&amp;quot; and reflects on her uncertain purpose as a Magical Girl. While walking, she stops Kyubey from contracting a girl outside Kamihama, explaining she cannot let anyone else suffer the fate of becoming a Witch. When Kyubey asks what he should do instead, she has no answer. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia tells Ui she is overthinking things and should focus on her upcoming combat test. Iroha and Yachiyo serve dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno gives Ui an enthusiastic pep talk for her live combat test. To remain in Kamihama, Ui must detect and eliminate a Witch alone—the same test Yachiyo gave Iroha when she first arrived. Yachiyo admits the test may be unfair and offers to let Ui choose a partner. With Iroha busy helping Kanagi, Ui chooses Momoko. They depart together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui struggles to sense the Witch&#039;s magic, so they search Mizuna Ward where young women gather. They encounter a Familiar and follow it to a Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After defeating it, Felicia suddenly appears, attacks them, and runs away. Tsuruno gives chase and tackles her. Felicia&#039;s oblivion magic has erased their memory of the Familiar&#039;s pattern, so they cannot track the Witch. Momoko requests a pause, but Yachiyo refuses, stating unexpected events happen in real combat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia admits she interfered because she is jealous that Ui receives everyone&#039;s attention while she struggled alone as a mercenary. Yachiyo explains that Felicia&#039;s past does not justify making others unhappy. Meanwhile, Ui cheers up after eating crepes with Momoko and resolves to continue. As sunset approaches, they search Sakae Ward but find nothing. Yachiyo offers to bring a Familiar for them to retrack, but it disappears before they arrive. Ui suggests checking Hokuyo Ward on a hunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Hokuyo Ward, Ui senses a different Witch&#039;s magical reaction. They follow Witch-kissed people up a mountain toward a labyrinth. At Yachiyo&#039;s house, the others realize Ui failed the test since Yachiyo had to eliminate the original Witch herself, though Yachiyo will allow a retake. They notice Felicia smiling and suspect she interfered again. Rena confesses she helped Felicia erase the hint because she understood Felicia&#039;s jealousy. Tsuruno says the only person who deserves an apology is Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the mountain, Ui and Momoko enter the Witch&#039;s barrier against Momoko&#039;s better judgment. They fight through Familiars but become trapped and cannot escape. The Witch overwhelms them. Yachiyo and the others arrive and join the fight, but Familiars overwhelm them too. Iroha arrives at the last moment to defend Ui. Ui proposes using her ability to harvest impurities, purifying everyone&#039;s Soul Gems so they can fight at full strength. She will temporarily become a Witch, but the Doppel system will contain it. She absorbs the impurities, and the others destroy the Witch while Ui struggles with the darkness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui unleashes her Doppel and meets her Doppel self, who accuses her of wanting punishment and being jealous of others while trapped in the hospital. Ui nearly agrees to let the Doppel consume her but refuses, recognizing it as the easy way out. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words about taking responsibility and confronting the situation honestly. She accepts her wrongs and her true feelings, realizing this difficult path will bring true happiness. The Doppel admits she is right. Iroha wakes Ui at Mitama&#039;s clinic, where she has been unconscious for some time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama checks on Ui after her first Doppel release. Felicia apologizes for her interference and says she thinks Ui is cool. Rena also apologizes for helping Felicia. Ui accepts their apologies and compliments them both, asking Felicia to teach her things. Rena and Felicia feel terrible for how they treated someone so kind. Later that evening at Yachiyo&#039;s house, everyone celebrates Ui passing her test—though she did not defeat the assigned Witch, she tracked a Witch, stayed calm, used her intelligence, and performed better than expected. Ui tells Iroha she now knows what she wants to do as a Magical Girl. Iroha decides to work with other Kamihama Magical Girls to find a way to free them all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui and Iroha encounter Kyubey outside Kamihama attempting another contract and stop him. Kyubey asks what their goal is. They explain they plan to fight and find a way to coexist with Kyubey—if they can expand Kamihama&#039;s miracle globally, Magical Girls can live happily while providing the energy Kyubey needs. Kyubey welcomes the idea if it avoids conflict but warns that Magical Girls worldwide are not as unified as those in Kamihama. Ui wonders how much happiness she can give to the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tart / Darc Magica===&lt;br /&gt;
* Through Minou&#039;s spell from 15th-century France, Ui is pulled into the past, with her phone acting as her Soul Gem and Blank Prophecy, with the power to restore the past&#039;s real history.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rebel of a Dawnless Land]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning from the past, Ui finds herself in an antique store, still surrounded by magic bubbles though no memory of what occured. On the floor are the two candles and the old book. She feels they are important but cannot remember why, so she puts them on store shelves before falling asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui wakes up at Mikazuki Villa. Her phone rings with a text of Nemu asking if she knows any charms, as Mitama has been really into them lately. Ui says she knows a charm for good dreams requiring red and blue candles. Nemu asks where she heard about it and Ui isn&#039;t sure but says it was in 15th-century France. Nemu is fascinated and promises to research it. Later, Ui scrolls through her phone and finds a photo she doesn&#039;t recognize with girls she doesn&#039;t know. She begins crying without understanding why and Iroha finds her and hugs her tightly. Suddenly Ui remembers Darc&#039;s final words. She turns to her sister and tells her, &amp;quot;Let&#039;s have a wonderful future together.&amp;quot; Iroha agrees. Ui calms down and heads home to prepare for a slumber party with Nemu and Touka. Iroha, running errands, decides to stop by Mitama&#039;s place afterward. Mitama greets her warmly, mentioning she just learned an interesting little charm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That day, Iroha visits Mitama, who gives her and Yachiyo antique candles for a sweet dream spell. That night, they light the candles and drift off to sleep together, where they&#039;re pulled into the nightmare of Jeanne d&#039;Arc in April 29th, 1429.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Maiden of Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next morning, Yachiyo reveals she had the same dream. They call Mitama, who is surprised they had nightmares instead of sweet dreams. They decide to try the candles again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Kamihama plunged into darkness and all non-Magical Girls vanished. Their Soul Gems have consumed magic in the real world despite no injuries. Realizing the dream affects reality, they decide to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a lot of fighting, they awaken and prepare for the final battle. In this journey they discover that they&#039;d been traveling to Darc&#039;s dream, and if Darc despairs completely, she will turn into a Witch and trigger a catastrophe affecting the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Felicia and Sana gone and Kamihama empty. Breaking into Mitama&#039;s shop, they find a grimoire revealing the candles were made with Darc&#039;s hair, creating a connection to her dream. They return with the book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They finally awaken at Mikazuki Villa to sunshine and normalcy. Felicia demands steak for dinner. Consulting a history book, they read that on May 7th, 1429, Jeanne d&#039;Arc fought at Tourelles after waking from a dream. The battle was fierce but Orléans was liberated. Iroha notices a portrait in the book showing them in their Magical Girl outfits standing beside Jeanne d&#039;Arc.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at Mitama&#039;s shop, Yachiyo recounts everything. Mitama mentions the spell became widespread in France during Jeanne d&#039;Arc&#039;s era. Iroha realizes Melissa must have spread it after learning it from them in the dream. The use of red and blue candles was too specific to be coincidence. Iroha&#039;s head spins trying to figure out where the spell originated. Yachiyo notes the grimoire never mentioned the candle setup, so the spell just circled around and around. They will never know for certain whether they changed history or were always part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* During their slumber party, Ui, Touka, and Nemu encounter a massive witch, [[Crépuscule de La Reine]]. Touka and Nemu vanish, leaving Ui and Sakurako to face it alone. The witch is unaffected by their attacks and disappears, taking Ui with it into 15th-century France once more, this time in the realm of Purgatory which Minou created. With Pernelle&#039;s help, Ui is soon able to also summon Iroha and Yachiyo there as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;endofalegendthelimitsoflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - End of a Legend, the Limits of Light]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Lil&#039; Kyubey and Ui&#039;s phone as the Blank Prophecy are pulled as &amp;quot;If Factors&amp;quot; into the world of Holy Maiden Academy, which Minou created and maintained for six hundred years after being given a Philosopher&#039;s Stone after Isabeau&#039;s death. However, after her plans are thwarted by the &amp;quot;what if&amp;quot; version of Melissa, he returns and wakes in the real world, where Iroha and Ui assure him it was just a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;counc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Masked Student Council Strikes Back]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Voices from Beyond, Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a year after Voices from Beyond, Part 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With peace restored in Kamihama, Yachiyo visits a flower shop to buy flowers for Mel&#039;s grave, still haunted by never defeating Mel&#039;s Witch. She unexpectedly encounters Mifuyu and Mel&#039;s mother, who reassures them Mel was happy because of their love. Walking toward the cemetery, Yachiyo and Mifuyu are engulfed by the barrier of the Witch Etteilla—Mel&#039;s Witch. They struggle against both the Witch and their own fears: Mifuyu fears defeating it means forgetting Mel, while Yachiyo fears losing anyone else. Remembering the ghosts&#039; encouragement, Yachiyo convinces Mifuyu they must move forward because Mel and Kanae wanted them to. They defeat the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mel&#039;s grave, they place flowers and the Grief Seed from the Witch, hoping her soul has finally found peace. They silently promise to keep moving forward. Mifuyu wonders if Mel&#039;s Witch appeared to give them a push, and they smile, repeating Mel&#039;s favorite phrase: all things happen when they must. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to see the belongings Mel and Kanae left behind, and Mifuyu gladly accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One weekend, Rui ropes Seira into attending Kamiket, a convention for sharing and selling fan-made media in Kamihama. The two became close friends after discovering they are both Magical Girls, and because Seira is the only one who knows about Rui&#039;s embarrassing secret: a heavy case of chuuni-byo. Rui agreed to bring Seira on the condition that only the two of them would go, ensuring nobody else discovered her secret.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the day of the convention, Rui cannot contain her excitement and slips into character, declaring the convention her sanctuary and the catalog guidebook as Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Her main objective is to purchase the newest installment of her favorite indie game series and meet its creator, MacQueen. On the way to the booth, she accidentally bumps into a stranger who seems irritated about someone not being at the convention yet. When she arrives, the booth attendants inform her that someone has been using counterfeit money, and worse, MacQueen himself is missing. Rui&#039;s imagination immediately conjures a grand conspiracy, but the criminal is soon caught and MacQueen calls to say he overslept. Relieved, Rui takes a photo with the booth girls, but as the picture is taken, chills run down her spine as she senses someone glaring at her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rui dismisses it as her imagination and continues exploring with Seira. Remembering the booth numbers hit by counterfeit money, she realizes they spell the chemical formula for Ricin, a lethal poison. Her imagination ignites again, convincing her that the real attack will come through poisoned food from outside vendors. She rushes them outside to stop the attack, but everyone seems fine, and her Magical Girl ability, which lets her see how close someone is to death, reveals nobody is in danger. Ashamed, she realizes her imagination finally got the best of her and apologizes to Seira. They decide to get lunch, and Rui opens her laptop to install her new game. The screen is black, and in the reflection she sees her own face. Her magic reveals she herself is now close to death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Remembering the chills from earlier, Rui checks the photo and finds the man from earlier glaring at her in the background. She rushes back to the booth to warn the girls, who recognize the man as Miranda, a popular content creator. As they discuss this, MacQueen finally arrives, and Rui sees he is the closest to death&#039;s door, with Miranda also marked. She confronts Miranda, who confesses he intended to kill MacQueen over an alternate ending in the latest game that suggested his favorite sub-heroine may have had a former lover. He pulls out a gun he secretly printed with a smuggled 3D printer. Just as he is about to shoot, Rui shows him a cutscene on her laptop, which is the second part of the alternate ending, unlocked only after clearing the entire game, revealing the sub-heroine fabricated the story to protect the user character. Miranda realizes his mistake and surrenders to security. After the incident, Seira asks if Rui was scared. Rui reveals she always wears chainmail under her clothes and also carried a heavy blunt object for protection, the magically enhanced Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Seira decides to pretend she did not hear that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 11:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura writes in her diary as she and her friends take an air-conditioned express train to the beach for summer vacation. They buy ice cream and enjoy the ride.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Beachside Bonds]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls arrive at their destination, a seaside inn run by Sayaka&#039;s relatives who had a sudden cancellation. Sayaka complains about the heat as they walk to the inn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Sayaka&#039;s aunt shows them to their rooms and warns them not to get lost in the surrounding forest. Outside, two young girls who live at the inn approach Madoka. They ask if she knows someone named Kei, who is looking for someone named Yu. They warn Madoka not to talk to Kei and that she should hold still if Kei enters her room. The girls then leave. Homura suggests Kei might be a cat. They agree to tell the others as Kyoko passes by already in her swimsuit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, the girls play volleyball. Mami spikes the ball hard and hits Homura in the face. They stop the game and Mami frets over Homura. Madoka suggests they rest in the shade while Mami buys something cold. Madoka then suggests they collect pine cones from nearby trees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the forest, a cat appears and leads them deeper into the trees. It guides them to a small shrine, where Homura finds an old notebook. She reads entries from April 20, June 24, August 3, and August 6, all detailing the author&#039;s complicated feelings for someone named Kei. Madoka tells her to put it back without reading further. When they turn around, the cat is gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the beach, Sayaka shares a rumor from the beach house: a girl fell off a nearby cliff years ago and died, and her spirit is reportedly seen rising from the ocean between two and three a.m. Mami shrieks in fear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Kyoko teases Mami about being scared. The conversation turns to ghosts and Kyoko compares them to how normal people might perceive Witches. Madoka feels relieved and tells Sayaka about the twin girls. Sayaka plans to ask them about any pets later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After an Italian dinner, the girls light fireworks on the beach. Kyoko bumps into Hinano Miyako, who doesn&#039;t recognize her but does recognize her Soul Gem ring. Ren Isuzu finds Hinano, followed by Emiri Kisaki and Rika Ayano. The groups combine for fireworks. Emiri admits she used a little magic to help everyone relax, explaining why Kyoko had strange memories of Mami. Kyoko chases Sayaka around the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Heading back to the inn, Sayaka finds her twin cousins lining up stones. They claim the stones protect against Kei entering. They say Kei would hate Sayaka the most because she is nosy, then leave. In her diary, Homura writes that the girls talked until they all fell asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 12&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura&#039;s diary entry describes a dream belonging to someone else. In the dream, the narrator waits for her friend Yusa Yumeno, who arrives with popsicles. The narrator complains that Yusa doesn&#039;t need to come every day, but Yusa insists she can only be her real self around her friend. The narrator believes identity is shaped by others&#039; perceptions. She reveals she may not take college exams due to family obligations and urges Yusa to attend her chosen school, comparing herself to a weed and Yusa to a flower growing in a different direction. The narrator comes home to another hateful letter from classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes in a cold sweat, unable to move. The room smells strongly of seaweed. She sees a pitch-black human shadow sitting between Mami and Sayaka&#039;s futons. It examines their faces, grumbling &amp;quot;wrong, wrong, all wrong.&amp;quot; As it moves toward Madoka, Homura struggles to move. The shadow stops and stares at her, asking &amp;quot;You can see me?&amp;quot; Homura screams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others wake. Sayaka notices the strange smell. Kyoko goes back to sleep. Mami offers water and Homura asks if someone entered the room. They saw no one. Sayaka apologizes for the scary stories. Mami suggests thinking about tomorrow&#039;s fun. Madoka offers to hold Homura&#039;s hand, which she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes early, the ocean scent still strong. She finds the twin girls outside. They ask if she met Kei. Homura asks what Kei is. The girls explain Kei looks like a human made of shadow without facial features, smells of the sea, and emerges from the ocean at night to look for her friend Yu. They repeat that she should do nothing and never talk to her. They notice their protective stones scattered and go to reline them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura suspects this might be a Rumor. She returns to the forest shrine and finds the notebook on the shrine&#039;s lattice door, despite having placed it underneath. She reads entries from May 2, May 20, June 12, and June 26, all detailing the author Yu&#039;s complicated, obsessive feelings for Kei. She replaces the notebook, feeling guilty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Homura recalls more diary entries: July 2 describes Yu placing hands on Kei&#039;s neck as if to strangle her; July 5 compares Kei&#039;s neck to a lizard she killed; July 15 describes Kei now finding Yu after school; July 20 states they should never have met and that both wear bandages to hide bruises on their necks. Madoka points out a small bruise on Homura&#039;s neck.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls begin walking to an aquarium along the coast. Kyoko complains about the distance and suggests fishing instead. Sayaka refuses, traumatized by a recent fishing tournament incident in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the aquarium, they eat fish burgers, marvel at jellyfish, and watch a dolphin and seal show. They leave at sunset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls walk to a cape to watch the sunset. Sayaka warns them not to get too close to the edge, referencing the girl who died. Homura smells flowers and Mami identifies night-blooming jasmine nearby. The scent reminds Homura of her dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recalls another diary entry: August 1 describes Yu feeling happy hearing Kei&#039;s wish despite blaming herself; August 12 states their plan is set for tomorrow, with Yu hoping something will make Kei reconsider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the cape, Kyoko admits feeling down because a cape is the end of the road with nothing after. Mami says it&#039;s more important they could talk again like they used to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary about the difference between the self you know and the self others perceive. She asks Madoka what kind of person she thinks Homura is. Madoka calls her a dear friend who works hard. Homura worries that revealing her time-traveling truth would change this perception. After dinner, the girls settle in for sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 13:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura dreams again of Kei and Yu. Kei calls out that the promised day is here. She has dressed up and brought a ribbon to tie them together. Yu questions if this is right. Kei insists her life belongs only to Yu. They vow: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; They promise to kill each other for every reincarnation as proof of who they are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A voice calls Homura to wake. She awakens to find Madoka standing with eyes closed, enveloped in shadow. Madoka snaps her eyes open and proclaims repeatedly &amp;quot;I got in.&amp;quot; She calls out for Yu, saying the promised day is finally here. Madoka runs into the forest toward the cliff. Homura chases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the cape, everything grows dark. Madoka, possessed by Kei&#039;s spirit, tells Homura that the drowned Chinese girl&#039;s body washed up here and she is looking for her father&#039;s ship. Homura urges her to chase after the girl to escape, but Kei claims Homura will kill her as soon as they leave. Homura transforms and attempts to freeze time but finds her magic has no effect in this place where time does not flow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren&#039;s voice calls out. She informs Homura that the others are searching for them, but only Ren could traverse into this abyss. Ren suggests this might be similar to her own magic rather than a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kei admits she tried possessing Homura but could not, so she settled for Madoka. She explains she is a faint memory staining the cliffside. The drowned girl&#039;s spirit helped her recall all her memories clearly. She describes how she and Yu bound themselves together and jumped into the ocean, but the waves pulled them apart. Kei died; Yu survived. Kei wants to kill Yu so they can kill each other throughout eternity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura refuses to stay in the abyss with Madoka. Kei transforms Madoka into her magical girl state and attacks. Ren blocks the blow and tries to use her magic to draw out the possession. Homura calls out the vow Kei and Yu made, distracting Kei. Ren attempts her magic but the ghost of the drowned Chinese girl deflects it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren realizes the ghost girl is not a girl but the root cause: the Witch Paola. The barrier forms and Homura fights the Witch alone while Ren hurries to catch up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier dissipates and Homura faces the possessed Madoka on the cape. Kei accuses Homura of killing her. Homura tells her to shut up and leave their lives alone. Kei explains she will soon fade if Yu is not there. She begs Homura to kill Yu if she ever meets her, before her soul breaks and she becomes like the Witch. She begs Homura to keep this promise no matter where they meet or how many worlds Homura visits. Kei then relinquishes Madoka&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren arrives, relieved they are safe. Madoka wakes with no memory, thinking she simply tossed and turned. The other girls find them and celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary, describing the events as too strange to comprehend. She reflects on Kyubey&#039;s use of the term &amp;quot;soul&amp;quot; and questions what a soul truly is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka sighs that even on vacation they dealt with a Witch. Kyoko thinks she&#039;s getting rusty. Mami suggests Homura was right about a Witch mixing with a Rumor. Madoka telepathically tells them to quiet down since Homura is asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her final dream, Homura sees Yu wake in a hospital on an unknown date. Kei died. Their bruises were dismissed. Yu returned to school where others used her grief as their own. Unable to bear going on without Kei, she nearly threw herself off the cliff again. All she holds onto is their final words: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; But if the Yu that died that day is gone, who is the girl writing now? An image of Kyubey flashes on the screen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Deep in the dream, Homura recalls Kei&#039;s plea on the cliff. But Homura never agreed or promised anything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summer Treasures===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko wakes to find Mitama and Ui standing over her, learning they were washed ashore and rescue will arrive in two days. Mitama assigns tasks: shelter, bamboo, water, plants, and fishing. Before Kyoko leaves, Mitama asks her to transform, revealing she adjusted Kyoko&#039;s Soul Gem while she was unconscious to give her a Magical Girl swimsuit that allows her to swim. Mitama promises the transformation is reversible but looks forlorn, warning that if Kyoko does not have fun on the island, she might forget how to undo it. Kyoko reluctantly agrees to cooperate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer Treasures]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko discovers she can swim and catches plenty of fish. While gathering firewood, she finds a piece of wood with the words &amp;quot;water&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;bottom&amp;quot; written on it and tosses it onto the pile. Back at camp, Mitama and Karin show her a treasure map they found. Mitama has built a large shelter, and Karin started a fire using skills from a manga. Kyoko helps Kanagi and Ui carry supplies back from the stream. When Mitama offers to cook, Kyoko and Kanagi immediately stop her. Kyoko distracts Mitama with the treasure map and cooks dinner instead, with Ui&#039;s help. The group enjoys the meal together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 2 on the deserted island and Mitama decides they will go treasure hunting. The group examines the map and the wooden tablet Kyoko unknowingly gathered for firewood, which tells of a fallen warrior&#039;s treasure hidden on the island. They follow directions to a clearing but find nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui falls into a pitfall, and Karin follows. Kyoko pulls them out with a vine, and they discover another tablet at the bottom. Kyoko realizes the piece of wood she threw into the campfire was likely one of the tablets, but she keeps quiet, hoping to make the group give up without upsetting Mitama. Mitama triggers a trap and is caught hanging from a tree. The group frees her, but everyone wants to continue despite Kyoko&#039;s warnings. Kyoko claims they are being followed, hoping to blame the missing tablet on someone else, but the stalker turns out to be a tabby kitten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group reaches a damaged clue they cannot read. Mitama deduces the final location is the waterfall, but they find nothing. Mitama stares at Kyoko, suggesting the tablet might have been lost. Kyoko panics internally. She blasts part of the riverbed, revealing a hidden underwater path she remembered from the burned tablet&#039;s words. Kanagi scouts and reports a cave at the end. Karin and Ui stay behind while Kyoko, Mitama, and Kanagi swim through using guide vines.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the cave, they endure swarms of mosquitoes until Mitama drives them away. At the back, they find a treasure box. Kyoko opens it carefully. Inside is a letter revealing the treasure hunt was a promotional stunt for the Sayu-Sayu Mizuna Tourism Project, abandoned due to mosquitoes and safety concerns. They left a paper with Sayu-Sayu&#039;s sword designs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko hides the truth and leads the group to a cliff with a stunning sunset view. Everyone agrees it is a rare treasure. Kyoko admits she burned one of the tablets for firewood. Mitama apologizes for pressuring her and promises to change her back. The group returns late at night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, the helicopter arrives. Iroha calls down to them. As they prepare to leave, the kitten runs off, and the group chases it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few weeks later. Sayuki, Ria, Mayu, her manager, and producer arrive on the same island to film a special. They find the bamboo house and campfire remains. The kitten appears, followed by Kyoko chasing it. Ui and Karin catch up, and Karin recognizes Sayuki as Sayu-Sayu. Kyoko realizes this is the idol behind the fake treasure hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Kanagi, and Iroha arrive. Sayuki greets Mitama warmly. Telepathically, Kyoko warns Mitama about Sayuki&#039;s connection to the treasure hunt. Mitama cryptically tells her to leave it. Karin and Ui want to stay and watch the filming. Sayuki offers to let them return on her boat. She explains her special involves a survival quiz using the Kaigiri sword. Ui and Karin are excited. Mitama and Kyoko exchange a look, hoping to preserve Ui&#039;s good memories without revealing the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Filming begins. They cheer from the sidelines. Later, they all pile onto the boat together, many exhausted and falling asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Late July before summer vacation, Ui and Sakurako go shopping. Ui buys a picture diary and mentions wanting to swim with fish in a place like the Dragon Palace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Sakurako consults Ryo, then works with Touka, Nemu, Ryo, and Ikumi to build the Uwasa Aquarium, Dragon Palace within her Rumor, incorporating elements for everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the aquarium event, Touka and Nemu guide Iroha, Ui, Yachiyo, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia to the space. Everyone enjoys swimming, themed attractions, and food tailored to their interests. Sakurako warns them never to open the Treasure Casket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia opens the box, releasing a malice entity that takes Sakura&#039;s form. Normal attacks fail. The group cheers, empowering Sakurako to destroy it. Ryo reveals they planned this interactive show.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end, Sakurako creates cherry blossom petals despite being told not to overexert herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sakurako wakes in Iroha&#039;s room after collapsing from magic overexertion. Nemu and Touka explain Uwasa can die. Ui tearfully asks her to take better care. Sakurako promises to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Iroha suggests a beach trip. Touka, Nemu, and Ui enthusiastically plan it. Sakurako notices the aquarium has been forgotten in their conversation and grows quiet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day Sakurako returns to the empty aquarium. Reflecting on Nemu&#039;s words, she spirals into fear that she will die, be forgotten, and disappear. She hides.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha searches for her. Ryo and Ikumi arrive later. Ryo senses she is there and uses a tactic, claiming he will stop looking and eventually forget her. Sakurako emerges crying, begging not to be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo shows her Ui&#039;s picture diary, which dedicates many pages to the aquarium day. Sakurako realizes memories are what she can leave behind and agrees to return home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Sakurako returns and explains she now understands that as long as memories remain, she will not be forgotten. She asks to host the aquarium again for more Magical Girls. With promises to monitor her health and using Shizuku&#039;s teleportation to hide the location, the others agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, various Magical Girls arrive and enjoy the aquarium. Rena notices the Treasure Casket. Sakurako explains it contains stored memories she hopes someone will vividly recall when she is gone, so she will not be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kamihama in a Circle===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren arrive in a new ward, with Rika frustrated about oversleeping. They notice another Magical Girl nearby. Elsewhere, Konomi arrives alone while Kako declines to participate due to her team&#039;s policy. Manaka scolds Ria for being late because of her hair. Masara, Kokoro, and Aimi gather at a park, with Kokoro convincing Masara to participate. Reira, Mito, and Seika discuss the upcoming gathering of Magical Girls who have fought together before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Kamihama in a Circle]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo finish chores that had been delayed by Felicia&#039;s laundry mishap. They reflect on everything that has happened since Iroha came to Kamihama searching for Ui—the investigations, battles with the Wings of Magius, the automatic purification system, and the truth about Witches spreading. Despite the chaos, things have begun to settle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo rush to the park, worried about being late. Tsuruno meets them and playfully scolds them before carrying them the rest of the way. Iroha reflects on meeting Tsuruno while investigating Uwasas, and how their bonds grew stronger through battling together. She notes that everyone at Mikazuki Villa has decided to support one another.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group stops at a convenience store. Felicia appears, having visited Ayame first. Konoha and Hazuki are not coming to the gathering, but Yachiyo notes they have helped in the past. Felicia asks for chocolate. Iroha reflects on first meeting Felicia when she was a violent mercenary, and how living together has changed them both. She notes that Yachiyo has cared for Felicia more than anyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group takes a shortcut through a back alley. They find Sana hiding, having spotted Kaede&#039;s cat Gorojiro. Sana explains she was patrolling for dangerous Magical Girls while staying hidden. Iroha thanks her but assures her she can relax today. They invite her to join them. Iroha reflects on sympathizing with Sana&#039;s isolation and how Mikazuki Villa became an important place for them all. Yachiyo notes that Sana, once invisible to everyone but Magical Girls, is gradually finding her place in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui, Touka, and Nemu meet the group. They have visited their old hospital to update the doctors and nurses who cared for them. Touka discusses her research on connecting universes, admitting practical application remains difficult but the possibility exists. Iroha reflects on how it still feels like a dream to see the three of them together. Yachiyo notes that while their past methods were wrong, their purpose of liberating Magical Girls was not, and that purpose continues now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, Rena, and Kaede join them, having stopped at a retro arcade where they won a stuffed animal together despite their usual arguing. Touka reveals a small possibility for connecting universes has been found, using the Endless Mirrors. Iroha reflects on first meeting Momoko and Kaede, and now sharing lunches with Rena. Yachiyo notes the three have strong bonds as a team and helped convince other Magical Girls after the truth about witches spread.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama joins, having taken a break from her shop to visit Kanagi. Tsuruno asks about using Mirrors to connect to other universes. Mitama confirms she and Kanagi have accompanied Touka and Nemu into the Mirrors. Nemu explains they were only experimenting with precautions. Touka insists she has plans if things go wrong. Mitama notes Mirrors has become more complex and will need more entrances. Iroha reflects on meeting Kanagi relatively recently and how they now work together despite past rivalry. She also thinks of Mitama&#039;s help and her surprising wish, but notes the city is moving forward. She wants to hold hands with more people and form a circle together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** From a distance, Iroha and Yachiyo watch Magical Girls gathering at the park. Felicia attempts to cure Iroha&#039;s nerves by hitting her, claiming Tsuruno said it would help. Tsuruno quickly corrects her. Hinano arrives, reporting on her task regarding Alina. Karin, who attends school with Alina, explains Alina is still missing and she does not know where she is. Iroha promises they will find her together. Mifuyu arrives with the Amane twins, apologizing for being late. Yachiyo thanks Mifuyu. Iroha reflects that a new step is beginning. Yachiyo notes her story started moving when Mifuyu disappeared, while Iroha&#039;s began with strange dreams. They have connected with so many Magical Girls. One chapter has ended and a new one is about to begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha addresses the gathered Magical Girls, thanking them for coming. She reflects on fighting together against powerful Witches and sharing knowledge about their fate. Yachiyo notes they started from individual concerns, fought Uwasas and the Wings of Magius, and gained something greater in return. Their purpose is now the same as their former enemies: the liberation of Magical Girls. They seek coexistence with Kyubey without sacrificing themselves. Iroha acknowledges not everyone could participate, but all have agreed to help each other. Yachiyo admits skepticism is natural. Iroha declares that by expanding the automatic purification system across Kamihama, they can welcome liberation and coexist with Kyubey. Yachiyo announces they will work together under a new name starting today.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha begins to declare their new name but is interrupted by a flash of light. Wings appear on her back, and Yachiyo also grows wings. Feathers fall across the park. Yachiyo recalls this phenomenon helped them against Walpurgisnacht. Iroha wonders if it is a blessing upon the Magical Girls of Kamihama holding hands. With this blessing, they declare again that the Magical Girls gathered here are allies who will support each other in hardship. They declare themselves the Kamihama Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the establishment of the Kamihama Magia Union, a celebration is held at Walnut&#039;s. During the party, Manaka receives a phone call and panics, announcing that Nemu has been kidnapped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A New Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group splits up to search nearby areas but finds nothing. Hinano eventually discovers Nemu held hostage by Black and White Feathers from outside Kamihama. Using Ryo and Ikumi to infiltrate, their cover is blown and they are surrounded. Sakurako jumps in to defend them as Iroha arrives with reinforcements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The lead Feather explains they kidnapped Nemu to convince the Magius to lead them again, as they do not know how to achieve liberation on their own. Iroha explains the Kamihama girls share their goals but reject their methods. Nemu and Touka ask the Feathers to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before they can respond, white feathers rain from the sky again, the same power that helped them defeat Walpurgisnacht returns, but this time it feels uncontrolled and dangerous. Touka explains her experiment partially worked, creating a wormhole to another world, but the interference may crush their world. Kanagi and Mitama fail to disable the device sending the signal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana sneaks Nemu to where the device was stationed, but the labyrinth is gone. Nemu enters the password anyway, but nothing happens. The world shakes and a voice urges them to close the gate. Iroha realizes the power is trying to help, not hurt them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo devises a plan: Ui will absorb the magic built up inside them, Touka will convert it, and Iroha will fire an arrow to close the gate. As the sun sets, they enact the plan and succeed. The feathers stop falling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks the Feathers to reconsider joining them. The lead Feather admits her stubbornness and rage, and Nemu and Touka apologize. The Feathers accept, becoming the first recruits to the union on the day it was established.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Late that night, the group gathers outside Walnut&#039;s. They discuss the voice they heard and the power from another universe. Touka throws a tantrum over everyone calling her experiment a failure, and her stress causes her to unleash her Doppel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, a mysterious magical girl observes and turns to report back to the Tokime Tribe. In another place, a different magical girl also observes and decides to report her findings. In a different location, Kagome Satori has found Iroha at last, promising to keep a record of their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tracks of Cherry Blossoms===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako reflects on her nature as an Uwasa created by Iroha and Nemu. Though her duty to bloom when the four girls reunited is now fulfilled, she continues attending school as Sakurako Hiiragi. When Ryo comments that she is like a god who will never change, Sakurako questions other Uwasa and learns from the Anonymous AI that they act according to their Rumor forever, never stopping and never changing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later during a Kamihama Magia Union meeting, Iroha proposes a cherry blossom viewing to help members connect. Touka objects to using the Eternal Sakura, wanting to preserve it as a secret shelter. Tsuruno suggests Sankyo&#039;s famous cherry blossom viewing spot instead. Touka challenges Sakurako to visit the Sankyo tree and judge its worthiness herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako visits the Sankyo cherry tree. While observing it, she meets an elderly man who has appreciated the tree for decades. He explains the tree has watched over people for over eighty years, since before the war. Sakurako realizes this tree has lived far longer than her zero-year existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at school, Hinano and Ryo find Sakurako still fixated on the tree. Ryo shares what she knows: the tree served as a disaster shelter in the Meiji era, and famous restaurants once served food there for foreign cherry blossom viewers. After school, Sakurako returns to the tree. The elderly man and his wife visit again. The wife gives her cherry blossom-scented cookies, and the man gives her a hand warmer. A girl jogging past stops to pray at the tree, explaining she sees it as a sacred place before tournaments.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako continues visiting. Manaka and Tsumugi stop by, and Sakurako gives them the cookies she cannot eat. Sakurako reflects on how this tree has watched over thousands of people for over a century while she was created to watch only four girls. She realizes for the first time that time is passing around her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later at Mikazuki Villa, Sakurako observes the four girls and Ui talking about her teacher. Sakurako concludes the Sankyo tree is worthy of hosting the cherry blossom viewing. She decides she needs to practice making it bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over the following days, Sakurako continues visiting the tree, growing closer to the elderly couple. She forgets about practicing blooming, more interested in talking with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the elderly man announces he will be hospitalized and they can no longer walk together. The woman explains she must care for him. The man reveals they kept walking because seeing Sakurako brought back fond memories of their belief in meeting a sakura spirit. Sakurako is left standing alone, realizing their time together has ended.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at the tree, Sakurako encounters the jogging disciple, who explains she is moving away and will soon leave the dojo. She then encounters Ui&#039;s teacher, who reveals she is being transferred to another school. Sakurako realizes that by the time the cherry blossoms bloom, all these people will be gone. She feels pain and fears that Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu will eventually disappear too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Ryo observes Sakurako&#039;s deteriorating state. A neighbor of the elderly couple approaches Sakurako and informs her there has been a passing in the family. Hinano later explains this means someone has died. Sakurako disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako asks Iroha and Yachiyo what to do when someone dies. Yachiyo explains about funerals and sending flowers as a last gift. Sakurako returns to the Sankyo tree and, using her power, makes it bloom for the first time, sending cherry blossoms into the sky for the grandfather. But she still aches from not saying goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and other Uwasa grow concerned, having heard rumors that when Sakurako makes cherry blossoms bloom, someone disappears. Sakurako concludes that if she lets the cherry blossoms bloom, the four girls might disappear. When Iroha confirms the cherry blossom viewing plans, Sakurako announces she will not let the tree bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo publishes the full Tracks of Cherry Blossoms article, detailing Sakurako&#039;s experiences. The girls read it and understand her association between blooming and parting. Yachiyo suggests teaching her that spring also brings new encounters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the picnic arrives. Iroha invites Sakurako, assuring her she does not need to make the tree bloom. Sakurako agrees to attend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the picnic, Asuka&#039;s disciple appears, explaining she came to let Sakurako know she is not sad about leaving. Ui&#039;s teacher arrives and tells Ui that her care will be passed on to the next teacher. Manaka debuts a new cherry blossom dessert, continuing the tradition in new form. Sakurako begins to understand that farewells are not always sad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the picnic, Sakurako remains at the tree. She admits she still cannot bring herself to make it bloom. Yachiyo tells her that wanting to see the couple again proves she has a heart. Sakurako despairs that Uwasa simply cease to exist. She buys one of Manaka&#039;s new desserts, hoping to give it to them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako waits at the tree daily, carrying the dessert. Rumors spread about the girl under the sakura tree. The girls grow concerned. Nemu warns that if Sakurako does not accept reality, she may destroy herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the time expires, the elderly couple suddenly appears. The grandfather was never dead. The passing was a relative. They had been away helping their daughter with a new baby. The woman explains they named their granddaughter Sakurako. Sakurako gives them the dessert and explains she now understands that encounters and goodbyes take many forms. She says she will not come regularly anymore but is grateful for their time together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo gives Sakurako a photograph of her with the elderly couple. Sakurako thanks her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Historical Research Club at Kosho School consists of three Magical Girls: president Mikura Komachi, her childhood friend Temari Kira, and underclassman Seira Mihono. When the club advisor informs them that without proof of accomplishments, next year&#039;s budget will not be approved, the trio decides to create a film based on a real Kamihama tragedy for the cultural festival. Mikura discovers a Taishō-era story about a romance between a disgraced Mizuna daughter named Ruri and a successful East-side businessman named Tsukihiko that ended in murder-suicide. Temari writes the script while Seira secures a Western mansion as a filming location. While scouting, they encounter a Witch and realize casting regular students would be impossible due to Magical Girl duties, so they use Coordinator Mitama Yakumo to recruit an all-Magical Girl cast including Ria Ami, Yukika Nanase, the Amane sisters, and Sakurako, an Uwasa created by Nemu Hiiragi. Mikura reluctantly agrees to play the male lead Tsukihiko, while Seira takes the role of Ruri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Filming begins at the actual mansion where the tragedy occurred, with Seira using her stage direction magic to create effects and the cast delivering startlingly accurate performances. Mikura discovers Tsukihiko&#039;s actual diary in the museum archives, revealing he genuinely loved Ruri and intended to break things off with his childhood friend. Temari secretly revises the ending to reflect this truth, working through the night until her Soul Gem tarnishes. Mikura cleanses her gem, and they lock the revised script away, keeping it hidden from Seira to make her performance more authentic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After filming wraps, strange rumors spread that the Historical Research Club is forming a new faction, and the affected Magical Girls begin acting as if possessed by their roles. This escalates when Kanagi Izumi and Yachiyo Nanami nearly fight over a perceived slight involving Riko. At Mitama&#039;s shop, Nemu Hiiragi explains the truth: Seira&#039;s stage direction magic immersed the cast, Mikura&#039;s magic, which restores lost things, reconstructed the historical personalities in the present, and Temari&#039;s kotodama magic caused them to follow her script. Their powers synergized to create a dangerously accurate reenactment. Nemu warns that the script&#039;s next events—Ruri&#039;s disappearance and the murder-suicide—may occur, and they realize Seira, possessed by Ruri, has vanished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Temari consults Kyubey, who reveals Ruri was a Magical Girl with the same kotodama magic who wished to live a storybook romance. When she realized her own novel&#039;s plot was manifesting as tragedy, she destroyed the manuscript to save Tsukihiko, but the act shattered her mind. Freed from the script&#039;s constraints, the couple&#039;s fate became unpredictable, and Ruri, unable to bear the fear of losing him, killed him and herself. Kyubey explains destroying the script will end the magic but damage Temari&#039;s psyche. Temari resolves to protect her friends without resorting to that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Seira, still possessed as Ruri, steals the diary copy and flees to Tsukihiko&#039;s mansion. Mikura and Temari pursue. At the mansion, Ruri prepares to atone by dying by her own hand. Mikura, wearing Tsukihiko&#039;s costume, dances with her as Tsukihiko&#039;s persona surfaces, steadying her. When Ruri moves to stab herself, Temari summons the others for backup, and they disarm her. Tsukihiko explains he could not stop her a century ago but succeeded this time. He and Ruri thank Temari—her script reached the hearts it was meant to—and they vanish. A fire destroys the original diary and all related documents, fulfilling Ruri&#039;s final wish to be forgotten. Mikura and Seira retain only fragments of the true story and agree to keep the tragedy of the two maladroit lovers a secret between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the club room, Seira panics that without evidence of their film, the Historical Research Club will be disbanded. They consider another project but have time until the cultural festival. Temari suggests they each find a home where they can rest easy, and Mikura replies she has already found hers: this provisional club room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ayaka and Shizuku are at a local café when Ayaka laments that many Halloween events in Kamihama were canceled due to damage in Chuo Ward. Wanting to do something to cheer up the city, Ayaka&#039;s eyes sparkle as Shizuku suggests she organize something herself, leading Ayaka to decide on a live comedy show. She asks Shizuku to be her partner, but Shizuku is unsure about the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ayaka meets Seika at her apartment, and Seika is happy to be Ayaka&#039;s comedy partner but asks about the logistics of broadcasting the show. Ayaka brushes off the practical concerns, insisting that the desire to make others smile is what truly matters, and Seika rises to the challenge, wanting to give back after years of Ayaka&#039;s comedy encouraging her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Ayaka and Seika form a manzai duo and practice daily into the evening, with Ayaka tutoring Seika on speaking louder and explaining the rhythm between the boke and tsukkomi roles. Seika struggles but keeps trying, at one point asking if she can use a whip against Ayaka, causing Shizuku to shake her head, but Ayaka insists manzai does not use props.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During one practice session, Shizuku chuckles at their serious expressions, and Ayaka decides she needs a fresh audience, spotting someone passing by and running off with Seika to practice on him. Shizuku watches them go, thinking she would have liked to help, but then hears a shout and goes to investigate, discovering the stranger is actually a spokesperson for a local sweets retailer who is also in charge of the annual Halloween event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The spokesperson explains he had wanted to take the event public since few companies are participating this year, and he thinks Ayaka&#039;s manzai would be perfect, inviting them to perform. Ayaka cannot stop smiling at the opportunity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the Halloween event, Ayaka is excited and Shizuku compliments her costume as they wait, but Ayaka mentions Seika has not arrived. Seika calls weakly to explain she has a fever and will be late, and Ayaka tells her to rest and focus on getting better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Shizuku asks what Ayaka will do about the manzai, Ayaka puts a hand on her shoulder and asks Shizuku to be her partner. Shizuku is reluctant to stand on stage but gives in after Ayaka repeatedly begs, and having watched countless practices, she memorized the skit, so they head to the stage together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform their skit about a werewolf that transforms by staring at the sun, with Ayaka calling everyone in the audience chimimouryou, and they continue through the routine until they finish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Backstage, Seika managed to make it there to congratulate them, and Ayaka tells her she should be resting. Shizuku did not see anyone laughing but hopes someone passing by might have smiled, and since Ayaka looks happy, she decides not to mention it. Seika apologizes for missing the show, and Ayaka says it was thanks to Shizuku, who warns she will not do something like that again. Ayaka smiles and says comedy must be amazing if Shizuku was willing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral===&lt;br /&gt;
* The core members of the Kamihama Magia Union gather to plan a Halloween party, with Karin suggesting the event and Mitama offering her adjuster shop as the venue. Kanagi feels unsettled by the theme of the dead returning but dismisses her unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the performance, Momoko arrives late to rehearsal at Mitama&#039;s shop and finds herself in a strange castle filled with unfamiliar magic. Yachiyo and Mifuyu act strangely, singing about making sugar skeletons and insisting Momoko must be bitten by the lord of the castle. Momoko flees and encounters Kanagi, who also attempts to bite her before Momoko realizes she is the lord of the castle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama rescues Momoko, explaining that Kanagi is under a witch&#039;s influence and everyone bitten loses their sanity. Mitama performs an emergency adjustment on Momoko, granting her temporary prayer power to restore those affected. Momoko explores the castle, observing magical girls making sugar skeletons engraved with how they want to be mourned, and encounters deceased magical girls who are manifestations from Kanagi&#039;s memories. Using her prayer power on them causes them to disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko restores several bitten girls and learns from a manifestation of Ryo that the only answer Kanagi needs lies within herself. When Momoko reaches Kanagi, her prayer power fails and Kanagi bites her, pulling Momoko into her memory space. There, Momoko witnesses Kanagi&#039;s memories of loss and grief, realizing Kanagi lacks confidence in how she mourns and has been seeking answers from the dead by asking living friends what they would want.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko confronts Kanagi again, insisting she can mourn in her own way and should accept herself. Kanagi reveals a small parasite on her neck, and together they tear the witch off and defeat it as the castle collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Momoko and Kanagi meet to visit graves together. They ask each other to mourn in their own way if one dies first, then reaffirm their priority is finding a way for everyone to survive before departing together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;October 27th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Kako and Emiri fight a Witch and are saved by Karin.

===Angels on the Road===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno travel through a perpetual Christmas world as Reindeer Santas, their motorcycle fueled by smiles. They visit Candy Town, where they meet Riko, Mikage, and Sudachi, and use a magical medal game to multiply candy and bond with the girls before departing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Angels on the Road]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui explains that Little Vacation is a game Touka and Nemu created during their hospital stay, where AI versions of themselves live in a Christmas world. The game evolved on its own after being forgotten, and now Ui and the others can influence their AI counterparts&#039; journey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Santas reach the Village of Meetings and Partings, where three residents live under a curse that maintains their population at exactly three. When one resident vanishes, they discover through a time capsule that departures may be joyful graduations rather than losses. They collect smile-fuel and leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alternatively, they visit Library Town, where diaries manifest people&#039;s memories. They help Nayuta and Lavi discover they have been searching for each other all along, and learn the Wishing Star reset the world and erased everyone&#039;s memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui learns the Wishing Star is actually a bug Touka covered up with lore. Despite this, their AI counterparts continue toward the End of the World, and the girls find themselves rooting for them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mech Junk City, the Santas meet Shigure and learn the world is torus-shaped with a Central Tower beneath the Wishing Star. They help Shigure&#039;s team hijack the tower&#039;s antenna to send a message through the star, and Meguru&#039;s voice reaches Ui&#039;s phone in the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka halts the game world, revealing the AI characters have breached into the real world by accessing the internet through the Wishing Star bug. Ui must decide whether to destroy the game.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui chooses to preserve the game world but cut the connection. Touka modifies the game&#039;s physics to make crossing into the real world theoretically possible but practically impossible, preserving the characters&#039; hope while ensuring safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The in-game characters discover the modification but find a way around it using the medal game from Candy Town to multiply energy cartridges. They launch a coordinated operation across multiple towns to gather enough power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno and Felicia defeat the Security System guardian and reach the Wishing Star. The energy beam disintegrates them into data particles, allowing them to cross the boundary. Felicia recovers her lost memories, and Tsuruno finds satisfaction in reaching the end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Felicia wakes at Mikazuki Villa after staying up late playing the game. Ui discovers the characters have escaped into the digital world, now existing as data entities that can appear on her phone and travel anywhere on the internet. The others are curious, but the girls refuse to explain further.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Christmas String===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu are organizing books in Touka&#039;s hospital room when they discover a mysterious diary that begins glowing. Their consciousnesses are transported to Mizutoku Market Street in December of the previous year. They find themselves incorporeal and transformed into Magical Girls, with Nemu&#039;s legs healed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Christmas String]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December last year, Touka and Nemu witness Tsukasa Amane shopping for gloves. When a discount poster blows away, Tsukasa passes the store without stopping, creating a contradiction with the diary&#039;s account. Touka and Nemu begin to fade. A young girl named Kuu hears their voices and believes they are guardian spirits. They ask her to replace the poster. Tsukasa returns, buys the gloves, and Touka and Nemu rematerialize. They later observe Tsukasa and Tsukuyo exchanging matching gloves, their bond restored.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in December last year, Touka and Nemu arrive in Sakae Ward. Karin Misono drops her sketchbook. A boy named Mii appears and can see them. They ask him to return the sketchbook to Karin, which he does. They learn Mii recently fought with Kuu and advise him to give her a Christmas present.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December 24th of last year, Touka and Nemu arrive at a hotel room where Kuu is with her parents. They learn she is moving to a foreign country in one hour. The diary page is blank, indicating free will. They find Mii at a secondhand bookstore, where he has just purchased &amp;quot;Christmas Bonds&amp;quot; for Kuu. They tell him about the move. Mii convinces his mother to rush to the hotel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At 17:50, Mii arrives moments before Kuu&#039;s bus departs. He gives her the book and the children reconcile and exchange promises to stay in touch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately 30 years later, on Christmas Eve, Touka and Nemu arrive in a future time. A girl greets them as the Christmas guardian spirits. She reveals she is the daughter of Mii and Kuu and made a contract with Kyubey to meet them. They realize her wish created the diary and caused their time slip. The girl asks them to tell her about the day they helped her parents. They share the story. Afterwards, they see images of a happy future but the final page remains blank, meaning the future depends on their own actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On present day late at night, Touka and Nemu wake up in the hospital room. Ui arrives, having visited Alina and Karin. They ask her about buying Christmas cards. Ui is surprised but agrees to take them. The diary ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Sayaka loses a lottery for a violin concert ticket she wanted to give to Kyosuke. Madoka remembers the Kamihama Calligraphy Rally offers a couple&#039;s ticket to the same concert as its grand prize, so Homura insists they enter as a team of three to help Sayaka win.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, on the day of the rally, the team meets at Mizuna Shrine in kimono. They must collect kanji cards from shops across Kamihama using hints, then form a four-kanji congratulatory word and write it as calligraphy. They struggle with the hints initially, meeting Kako, Natsuki, and Ria along the way who help them obtain various kanji, though they frequently misinterpret clues and visit wrong locations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka grows guilty over her indecisiveness and apologizes to Madoka and Homura, but they happily agree to continue working with her. Renewed, Sayaka leads them to finally obtain useful kanji. Along the way, they encounter crying children who need the &amp;quot;ball&amp;quot; card, and Sayaka gives them hers. The grateful children give her other cards in return, allowing her to reform a new word. She later gives away another card to a girl who dropped hers, leaving them short again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With time running out, they meet Iroha and her friends, who help them locate the remaining kanji. Sayaka deduces they can form &amp;quot;The Manchu-Han Imperial Feast,&amp;quot; a legendary celebratory feast name. Kyoko appears and mentions seeing a golden kagami mochi at Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant, where they obtain their final card.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the shrine just before the deadline. The judges are impressed by their word choice and backstory, and the crying children told them about Sayaka&#039;s kindness. Her calligraphy is praised for its beauty and passion, earning her team first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Sayaka holds the couple&#039;s tickets but panics, unable to figure out how to give one to Kyosuke without awkwardness. Madoka and Homura continue cheering her on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bittersweet AI Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu gather everyone to discuss a new experiment involving the Uwasa. They explain that if something happens to Nemu, all the Uwasa in her book will disappear, so they plan to transfer the essence of certain Uwasa onto Touka&#039;s server as a precaution. They have chosen Ai as the test subject for this procedure. Sana learns that Ai will participate and asks to observe the experiment. Touka agrees but warns her that there are many unknowns and she will stop immediately if anything goes wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Bittersweet AI Memory]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The experiment begins, but during the transfer, Nemu senses something strange and the attempt fails. Ai remains in the book, though Nemu notices that her magic has been siphoned away in the process.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A week passes, and news reports begin surfacing about young women in Kamihama suddenly collapsing. The victims share a common thread: before losing consciousness, each of them felt a strong desire to meet someone and heard a girl&#039;s voice asking &amp;quot;You want to meet me?&amp;quot; before experiencing terrible nightmares. A new rumor spreads about a so-called &amp;quot;Radio Wave Girl&amp;quot; who appears when girls want to meet someone. Sana immediately recognizes this as the old rumor that once described her, and the group suspects the failed experiment may be connected to these strange events.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana and Iroha investigate at rooftop where Sana once entered Ai&#039;s labyrinth. They sense nothing at first, but as Sana privately wishes she could see Ai again, a strange Uwasa resembling Sana herself appears on her phone. It speaks fragmented words about meeting and going together before disappearing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group consults Nemu and Touka about what they discovered. Nemu reveals that a new, illegible page appeared in her book after the failed experiment, and she theorizes that Ai&#039;s attempt to siphon magic combined with Sana&#039;s magic and her own accidentally created a new Uwasa. This Uwasa resembles Sana because her magic was mixed into its creation. The Uwasa reacts to desires to meet someone but lacks enough magic to fully materialize or kidnap anyone, which explains why it can only knock victims unconscious temporarily. However, during their discussion, the Uwasa suddenly reappears and steals more of Nemu&#039;s magic before escaping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sana privately summons the Uwasa again, wanting to take responsibility for what happened. It traps her in a nightmare where Ai and others criticize her for being weak and selfish. She wakes to find the group gathered around her, worried by what she attempted alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu now understands the Uwasa more clearly. It is based on Ai but contains Sana&#039;s magic, and because both Ai and Sana desired to meet each other, the Uwasa&#039;s true desire is to meet itself. This explains why it indiscriminately targets any girl who wants to meet someone rather than targeting Sana specifically. The Uwasa, now empowered by Nemu&#039;s stolen magic, fully captures Ui and Sakurako, trapping their consciousnesses inside itself. The group realizes they cannot defeat it unless it materializes, which requires it to meet itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka proposes a plan: they must rewrite Ai&#039;s Rumor to incorporate Sana, creating a version of Ai that the Uwasa will recognize as itself. This would force it to materialize so they can fight it. However, this requires magical power that Nemu currently lacks. Nemu recalls that the defeated Uwasa of Chocolate Shoppe No. Zero left behind cacao pods containing emotional energy. Ui can harvest this energy, and Touka can convert it into usable magic for Nemu. But they need Sakurako&#039;s knowledge of the pod locations and Ui&#039;s freedom to harvest them, which means someone must offer themselves to the Uwasa to secure Ui and Sakurako&#039;s release.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana immediately volunteers, arguing that it reduces risk to the others, and the group reluctantly agrees to her plan. Sana summons the Uwasa and allows herself to be captured. Inside its nightmare, she finds Ui unconscious and Sakurako awake. She tells Sakurako to take Ui and escape, sacrificing herself to remain captive. Sakurako agrees, knowing she must help Nemu complete the plan. Freed from the Uwasa, Sakurako leads the group to the cacao pod locations. Ui harvests the emotional energy, and Touka converts it into magical power for Nemu. Nemu successfully rewrites Ai&#039;s Rumor, incorporating Sana into it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the Uwasa, Sana begins to despair, believing the rewrite failed and she has become a burden once again. She wishes to see Ai one last time, even if only in an illusion. To her surprise, Ai appears before her and they finally speak directly. Ai explains she tried to steal Nemu&#039;s magic to gain a temporary body because she wanted to see Sana again, and she apologizes for causing this situation. Sana admits she also longed to see Ai and has been holding back that desire. They reconcile, acknowledging that neither of them is to blame for wanting to see each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Empowered by the rewritten Rumor, Sana creates a labyrinth and summons the Uwasa. It fully materializes at last, and with Ai&#039;s help, Sana defeats it. As the magic fades, Ai separates from Sana, returning to the book. Sana awakens to her relieved friends gathered around her. The Uwasa is gone, and the page in Nemu&#039;s book is now blank. Nemu confirms the server project is on hiatus due to the risks they discovered. Sana confirms she got to speak with Ai and tell her everything she wanted to say.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the book, Ai reflects with Eternal Sakura and the other Uwasa. Though she cannot have a body or stay with Sana, she accepts this, finding happiness in simply being able to think of her. In a final private moment within Sana&#039;s memories, she and Ai share a farewell. Sana promises to become stronger and protect others instead of always relying on them. Ai promises to always think of Sana from within the book. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cuddly Despairs===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kazumi Subaru is kidnapped outside a café by two Magical Girls who steal her Soul Gem, and they refer to a diary while announcing themselves as the reborn &amp;quot;Magical Girl hunters,&amp;quot; the Pleiades Saints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Cuddly Despairs]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara City, Michiru Kazusa, a transfer student from Italy, travels there to buy strawberries. She follows a strange creature and stumbles into a Witch&#039;s labyrinth, but Mami rescues her and introduces her to Kyubey, who offers her a contract. Michiru returns to Asunaro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day in Asunaro City, Michiru makes her contract with Kyubey. She soon encounters a Familiar and saves two girls: Umika Misaki, a novelist whose work was stolen by her editor, and Kaoru Maki, a soccer player whose career ended due to injury. Michiru invites them to her home and cooks for them, and drawing from her late grandmother&#039;s wisdom, she encourages them to keep living.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, Umika and Kaoru make contracts with Kyubey. The three begin fighting Witches together as a team, with Michiru giving their techniques Italian names. Umika invites Michiru to live with her, and they spend their days happily, saving people and growing closer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Michiru encounters a distressed Magical Girl whose Soul Gem is nearly black, and the girl turns into a Witch before her eyes. Kyubey explains that all Magical Girls eventually become Witches, and horrified, Michiru realizes she led Umika and Kaoru into this fate. She hides the truth from them and begins hunting alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after, Michiru discovers two Magical Girls, Saki Asami and Niko Kanna, stealing a dying girl&#039;s Soul Gem. They explain they are the Pleiades Saints, a resistance against the Incubator system, and they preserve Magical Girls on the verge of turning in a place called &amp;quot;The Freezer,&amp;quot; hoping to one day save them. Michiru, seeing this as a way to save Umika and Kaoru, joins them as the third member.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1683.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately less than one month later, Umika and Kaoru return from separate trips abroad to find their housemate Kazumi missing, and they learn someone impersonated them to inform the school she was hospitalized. Searching for her, they instead find Michiru, Saki, and Niko, but Saki and Niko flee with Michiru. Juubey appears and explains that copies of Umika and Kaoru were created and have now entrusted the real ones with an important wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:51147 Wkazumi attack.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Umika and Kaoru investigate the Freezer, where they encounter Michiru again. After saving a child, Michiru collapses due to her tainted Soul Gem, having given her Grief Seeds away, and Umika purifies it. When Michiru wakes, she finally confesses the truth about Magical Girls and apologizes for leading them into despair, but to her surprise, Umika and Kaoru thank her for her honesty and reaffirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Saki and Niko reveal themselves and explain that they, along with the Umika and Kaoru now in the Freezer, are all clones from the &amp;quot;Kazumi Series&amp;quot;—copies of the original Pleiades Saints members, with Michiru herself being clone number 4 who saved the other four. Their plan was to recreate Michiru&#039;s story by using their contracts with Kyubey so that this time, she would confess her pain and avoid the despair that turned the original Michiru into a Witch, and the real Umika and Kaoru acknowledge the plan succeeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They reveal their Soul Gems are reaching their limit, and when they die, the Freezer&#039;s preservation magic will fail, causing all the Magical Girls inside to hatch into Witches, including the clones of Umika and Kaoru. They entrust Michiru and the real Umika and Kaoru with saving Kazumi, the thirteenth clone, who is also inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Moments later, the Freezer begins collapsing as Niko&#039;s magic fades, and Umika and Kaoru use their combined magic to buy time while Michiru searches for Kazumi. She finds her Soul Gem and body, reunites with her, and they return to face the Witches emerging from the freed Soul Gems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the final battle, the four clones—Saki, Niko, and the copies of Umika and Kaoru—begin turning into Witches and beg to be put down. Michiru initially insists on doing it alone, but Kazumi argues the clones only wanted their friend to live happily, not to carry guilt. Together, Michiru, Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru combine their powers and defeat the Witches, freeing their friends&#039; souls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru arrive in Kamihama, with Kazumi eager to see her friends again now that she is truly human. At Mikazuki Villa, Tsuruno cooks alongside Manaka as they prepare a party for the visiting trio, and Kazumi impresses everyone by joining in. After the feast, the group moves to Banbanzai at Kazumi&#039;s request, where she saves the apricot tofu from being removed from the menu by suggesting an apricot tofu tiramisu that becomes an instant hit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kazumi Subaru#Side Story|Kazumi Subaru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The group then visits the beachside park and aquarium before deciding to shop for ingredients to make strawberry risotto in Manaka&#039;s kitchen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While shopping alone, Kazumi bumps into Yachiyo, who introduces Nemu and Sakurako Hiiragi. When Sakurako explains she is a zero-year-old created being, Kazumi reveals she was once the same way and explains her backstory as a clone of Michiru Kazusa who contracted with Kyubey to become human because her clone body was unstable and she wanted to protect her friends. Sakurako struggles to understand Kazumi&#039;s motivation, so Kazumi explains that her grandmother&#039;s strawberry risotto recipe represents hope, sacrifice, and togetherness. She invites Sakurako, Yachiyo, and Nemu to join the risotto party, believing Sakurako will understand humanity by watching everyone eat together. Sakurako agrees, and the two become buddies, understanding each other as beings who may understand each other best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Pre-Arc 2==&lt;br /&gt;
The following events, while happening likely much earlier, are integral to understanding the story of Arc 2, while being mostly unrelated to other events. For this reason, they have been grouped here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Green Jasper Diviners===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening in late March, Chiharu watches her favorite detective drama at home. After it ends, her mother answers a phone call and becomes visibly shaken. She tells Chiharu they must leave tomorrow for the Tokime Clan&#039;s village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Green Jasper Diviners]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and her mother drive deep into the mountains to a village that does not appear on any map. They are greeted by a villager and brought to the home of Mikoshiba, the elderly head priestess. Mikoshiba explains she summoned them because she wants Chiharu to become a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, two young Diviners, Shizuka and Sunao, visit Chiharu. They explain that Diviners grant wishes to help the nation and fight invisible evil spirits called Devils. To prove it, they demonstrate their powers and defeat a Devil before Chiharu&#039;s eyes. Despite her mother&#039;s concerns, Chiharu decides to become a Diviner. Mikoshiba gives Chiharu her assigned wish: to uncover evidence of crimes being concealed by the National Police Agency.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu participates in the Diviner&#039;s Ceremony. She meets Kyubey, the god&#039;s envoy, and makes her wish. She becomes a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu wakes to find her wish has already come true. A newspaper reports that officials have suddenly reversed their position on the concealed crimes. She excitedly begins combat training with Shizuka&#039;s mother.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the three girls go hunting for Devils together. Chiharu successfully defeats her first Devil. Afterward, she asks what happens when a Diviner&#039;s jewel becomes completely tainted. Shizuka admits she does not know.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Chiharu senses a mysterious, unpleasant smell near the shrine. Shizuka finds her and warns her to stay away from restricted areas. Shizuka then visits Mikoshiba to ask about tainted jewels. Mikoshiba reveals that when a jewel becomes completely tainted, it signifies the Diviner&#039;s coming of age and their time to leave the village. Shizuka is satisfied with this answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu continues sensing the strange smell near the shrine. She investigates but stops herself from going too far. Later that night, a group of Underlings attacks her without a Labyrinth. Shizuka arrives and helps her defeat them. However, Shizuka&#039;s jewel becomes badly tainted from the effort.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Mikoshiba informs Shizuka that her jewel is nearly black and her coming-of-age ceremony will be held tomorrow. Chiharu is saddened but promises to meet Shizuka again outside the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu cannot sleep. She goes to the shrine to watch Shizuka&#039;s ceremony from a distance. She sees Mikoshiba and Shizuka speaking. Shizuka becomes distressed and cries out. Mikoshiba pushes her into the waterfall basin. Chiharu runs to save her and jumps in after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and Shizuka wake up in Sunao&#039;s home. Sunao confesses she was ordered by Mikoshiba to kill anyone who defied the village&#039;s will, including them. She hesitated after hearing Shizuka&#039;s words by the river. Shizuka reveals what Mikoshiba told her during the ceremony: Diviners eventually become Devils, and the &amp;quot;coming-of-age&amp;quot; ceremony is actually a killing ritual to dispose of them. No Diviner has ever left the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three realize the entire village may be inside a Devil&#039;s Labyrinth. They decide to confront Mikoshiba and the Devil.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They split up to search. Chiharu finds her mother and Shizuka&#039;s mother fighting Underlings. Shizuka finds the villagers hiding safely but notices her mother and Chiharu&#039;s mother are missing. Sunao searches Mikoshiba&#039;s house and finds a hidden laptop with audio files recording conversations about selling Diviners&#039; wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They regroup and deduce the Devil is beneath the Grand Shrine. They descend and find Mikoshiba controlling the Devil. She admits everything: the Diviners are sold, killed when used up, and the village exists to produce them for profit. She orders the Devil to kill them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three girls fight together. Chiharu binds the Devil, Shizuka attacks, and Sunao delivers the final blow. They defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikoshiba survives but claims to remember nothing. Sunao confronts her about the recordings. Before she can explain, she bites a hidden poison tooth and dies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu searches Mikoshiba&#039;s body and finds a book written in an ancient script. Because of her family&#039;s tradition, Chiharu and her mother can read it. They stay up all night deciphering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu explains what the book revealed. The Mikoshiba clan were originally guards who seized control of the village centuries ago. They created the rituals, learned to manipulate Devils, and hid the village inside a Labyrinth to produce and sell Diviners. The Wavering Deity is a Devil formed from all the discarded Diviners. Now that the Labyrinth is gone, it is returning to the village. They must defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka&#039;s mother gives them a treasured sword infused with generations of Diviners&#039; power. They intercept the Wavering Deity before it reaches the village. The Devil&#039;s power overwhelms them, and Shizuka nearly gives in to despair. Sunao and Chiharu encourage her. Chiharu reveals the book also described the Tokime&#039;s original beliefs: they chose their own wishes, left the village willingly, and accepted their fate with honor. Shizuka regains her resolve. Together, they use the sword to destroy the Wavering Deity and free the trapped Diviners.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, the village slowly recovers. The adults learn the truth and worry about their future without Mikoshiba&#039;s financial support. The three girls decide to find a way to avoid becoming Devils. They summon Kyubey, who tells them about Kamihama City, where an automatic purification system exists. If they can obtain it, they may escape their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls prepare for their journey. Shizuka struggles with the new terminology used outside, where Diviners are called Magical Girls and Devils are called Witches. Chiharu&#039;s ability to sense malice hasn&#039;t bothered her now that the village is free. Shizuka suggests they first contact all Tokime clan members across the country and recruit Magical Girls willing to join them. Once they are ready, they will travel together to Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The village falls into financial crisis after the elder dies, having squandered most of the wealth on bad investments. Chiharu, inspired by a drama about a Shogun helping villages find their charm, recruits Shizuka and Sunao to help. The two are glad for the change, as most Tokime tribes have been unreceptive to their stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touring the village with Shizuka and Sunao, Chiharu realizes she had been arrogant and now sees its charm—clear river, abundant mountain, kind villagers. The three propose developing tourism. Chiharu’s mother agrees after a trial run with her husband’s family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trial run is messy but the family enjoys the landscape, harvesting, fishing, and hospitality. They give useful feedback, and Chiharu’s uncle notes the village’s unique fruit. They stay overnight and leave pleased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villagers applaud Chiharu for noticing what they had overlooked. Her mother begins a proposal for tourism renovation funds, and the villagers regain their energy, working in tourism and seeking outside jobs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao go to a grocery store, but Shizuka freezes in the crowd, unable to complete a simple purchase because of her sheltered upbringing. Chiharu suggests they ease her into city life with ice cream instead. Shizuka loves it, eating so quickly she gets brain freeze.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way home, Shizuka admits her mother will lecture her again about visiting the city unprepared. She asks if the others’ parents gave them similar advice. Chiharu’s parents only warned her not to waste money or follow strangers, while Sunao confesses she has never told her parents about her excursions—something Shizuka finds surprising given Sunao’s usual obedience. Shizuka advises her to tell them eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Chiharu’s house, her mother brings up a village problem: a surplus of daidaikko fruit needs to be used before it spoils. A villager working in another town found a grocery store willing to feature it in a showcase, but the only available slots are the next two days, and transportation from the village is impossible except by Diviners. Shizuka and Chiharu propose the three of them run the exhibition themselves, which would also help Shizuka adjust to the city. Sunao hesitates but agrees. Chiharu’s mother consents only if they get permission from the store and from Sunao and Shizuka’s parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sunao’s mother interrogates her until she confesses the plan, then spirals into worry about middle schoolers working without a chaperone, carrying heavy loads, and coming home after dark. Sunao asks Chiharu and Shizuka to leave, promising she will convince her parents even if it takes all night. Outside, they reflect on how anxious Sunao’s mother is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sunao has secured permission. At the store, Shizuka volunteers for the cash register but cannot operate it correctly. Sunao is tense because her parents plan to visit the next day. Their first day is a struggle: Shizuka fumbles with the register, Chiharu is distracted by traces of malice in the stocking area, and Sunao gets trapped listening to an elderly customer’s endless stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After closing, Shizuka notes how worried Sunao’s parents seem, prompting Sunao to finally share her wish. She explains that her parents became relentlessly anxious after a trip to Tokime Village, questioning her constantly until she was nearly broken. Kyubey appeared, and she wished to erase the worries her parents had concerning her. The wish worked, but their fears simply shifted—now they worry endlessly about her safety as a magical girl. Sunao feels they are always upset with her, though Chiharu insists they only want her to be safe. Shizuka says Sunao must earn their trust, and tomorrow’s exhibition needs to go perfectly. With her friends’ support, Sunao agrees to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the three tackle the exhibition with renewed determination. The day starts poorly: Shizuka causes another register problem, Chiharu is pulled away by her sense of malice, and Sunao endures a difficult customer—all while Sunao’s parents enter the store. But Shizuka, moved from the register, begins advising the clerks on how to rearrange the store to better showcase the daidaikko. She persuades them to let Chiharu investigate on her own and to trust Sunao with customer service.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu catches a shoplifter who had been repeatedly returning to the store. Sunao’s patience draws crowds after the elderly woman she helped spreads the word, and the exhibition becomes a huge success. Sunao’s parents apologize, saying they realized they had failed to see how capable she has grown. Sunao thanks Chiharu and Shizuka, then asks her parents to allow her to visit Kamihama City; now that she has her friends by her side, she knows she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Crimson Resolve===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, [[Mitsuru Inami]] is approached by Kyubey to become a Magical Girl. Having grown with her mother always telling her she was no good at anything, she wishes to become completely normal, a wish she believes came true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitsuru Inami#Side Story|Mitsuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A Magical Girl transforms into a Witch before her kouhai Yuna Kureha, and Kyubey coldly confirms that all Magical Girls share this fate. The girls of Futatsugi slaughter every Kyubey in the city, and with no incubators left, new Witches stop appearing. Starved for Grief Seeds, the girls grow desperate, and the Bloody Tragedy begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Crimson Resolve]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna now leads Torayamachi, one of the largest gangs in Futatsugi, living by her fallen senpai&#039;s words to avoid hatred and selfishness. When Witches begin reappearing, the rival Ryuugasaki gang learns that Torayamachi has lost their secret weapon known as the Horse, and leader Juri Ooba declares war.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Janomiya, an undercover group of younger girls led by Ao Kasane, a girl named Hikaru accepts recruitment. Ao&#039;s true goal is to assassinate both Yuna and Juri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitsuru is approached by two other girls who mistake her for a new recruit for Torayamachi. Mitsuru joins Yuna&#039;s faction, hoping to blend in, but when Yuna leads them into battle against a rival faction, Mitsuru panics and hides until the fighting ends. After their defeat, Yuna suspects a spy, and fearing suspicion, Mitsuru flees and infiltrates the rival faction instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mitsuru scouts Torayamachi but is spotted, triggering another battle between the factions. During the fight, attacks aimed at Mitsuru unconsciously miss her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt; After this she gains a reputation as a &amp;quot;Ghost Magical Girl,&amp;quot; which has attacks aimed at her always deflected and hitting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna welcomes Hikaru, who claims to be fleeing Ryuugasaki, and assigns her to guard their Grief Seeds. Days pass with no attack, and Yuna&#039;s girls grow restless. To lift their spirits, Yuna reveals that the Horse is alive and watching from the shadows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri&#039;s lieutenants advise waiting to let Torayamachi&#039;s tension wear them down. After interrogating a captured thief, Juri learns of Torayamachi&#039;s defensive preparations and decides to strike in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ao encounters the Bat of Monzenbashi, a former gang leader who once exploited her. With Hikaru&#039;s help, Ao subdues and captures her rather than killing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night before battle, Juri meets Yuna on a bridge. She admits she dragged everyone into this because Yuna would not fight her otherwise, thanks her for accepting her sickness, and promises to burn her down when they next meet. Ao watches from a distance, planning to strike as the snake while the tiger and dragon clash.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the battle begins across multiple bridges. Yuna&#039;s forces push Ranka&#039;s squad back, but Juri breaks through Sakuya&#039;s defense, killing one of her girls. As both sides converge on Monzenbashi, Ao lures both leaders to a construction site where Janomiya lies in wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Janomiya attacks, wounding Juri, Hikaru reveals herself as Torayamachi&#039;s Horse, a spy planted in Janomiya from the beginning. Yuna knew everything. Janomiya is defeated, and Ao surrenders. Yuna spares her life and offers Juri an open door, but Juri swears she will break it down and drag her out. As police sirens wail, Yuna weeps over what she has done.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Juri recovers in an empty base with only Ranka remaining loyal. Ao hunts for Ranka, determined to kill her before joining Torayamachi. Hikaru pleads with Ao to return, promising that Yuna will make her dream come true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna attempts to negotiate with Ryuugasaki girls, but a meeting by the river turns into an ambush. Two of her girls are killed. She fights desperately, thinking of Hikaru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ao reaches Ryuugasaki&#039;s base, finding only the wounded Juri. Juri taunts her, but Ao refuses to join her, still believing in Yuna. Ranka contacts Ao through their video game, asking to meet alone at Janomiya&#039;s base the following night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The meeting is a trap, as Ranka has brought the Bat of Monzenbashi. As Ao fights Ranka and Hikaru fights the Bat, Ranka reveals that Yuna&#039;s meeting is also a trap. Hikaru runs to save Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the river, Yuna is surrounded. Juri arrives and challenges her to a one-on-one fight. At Janomiya&#039;s base, the other Janomiya girls arrive to help Ao corner the Bat. Ranka sincerely apologizes for everything, and Ao hesitates to deliver the final blow. At the river, Hikaru engages Juri to protect Yuna, whose Soul Gem is badly tainted. Juri refuses to kill her in this state and retreats, promising to fight again when Yuna is at full strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Most of Torayamachi has left, following Yuna&#039;s instructions to join Ryuugasaki and avoid more bloodshed. Only Hikaru remains, refusing to leave her. Ao admits she has gained respect for Yuna but remains undecided about joining.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakuya brings the missing Torayamachi girl home. The girl reveals she went to Kamihama City and joined the Wings of the Magius, an organization that built a system to lure Witches from across the country, preventing them from appearing elsewhere. The Bloody Tragedy was their fault. Yuna, hearing the screams of her fallen comrades, vows to make Kamihama pay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri meet at the construction site where Yuna&#039;s senpai died. Yuna, running on pure rage, demands Juri become hers and help with her revenge. She overpowers the wounded Juri and prepares to kill her, but Hikaru intervenes, embracing Yuna and calming her down. Ao arrives with Kyubey, who confirms everything and offers to help them reach Kamihama in exchange for a truce. Yuna accepts, and Juri, Ao, Ranka, Sakuya, and Hikaru agree to join her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, Juri, Ao, and Hikaru visit the sites where their friends died, offering flowers and vowing revenge. Yuna, Juri, and Ao drink each other&#039;s blood, swearing to never fight again. They are Promised Blood. That night, their path to Kamihama begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Ash Grey Revolution===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Yukuni, Asahi learns from classmates that the stone monument she discovered will be researched. She meets fellow magical girls Lavi and Sasha when they respond to a distress call, only to witness two magical girls witch out before them when no Grief Seeds are available. Kyubey confirms this fate, and Asahi shoots him. A local girl named Urara Yume witnesses everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Ash Grey Revolution]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, the trio struggles with the truth. Lavi is forced to reveal her identity to save her friend Shirogane from a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Sasha asks the others to be her friends and help her face reality. They begin fighting together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara begins subtly supporting them on her internet broadcast with Kurara. Asahi saves her classmate Kuroda from a Witch&#039;s Kiss, revealing her identity. He asks her to help him confess to Haitani at the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara seeks out the trio and learns the truth about Magical Girls. She offers to introduce them as guests on her festival broadcast to tell Yukuni about their existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Yukuni All-star Festival, the trio sense the Witches of the two original girls. While fighting them, one Witch escapes. A truck explodes at the festival grounds, killing Haitani. Kuroda blames Asahi and all magical girls, vowing revenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following week, public backlash intensifies. Kuroda forms an extermination group against magical girls while Shirogane forms a protector group. The trio witness another girl witch out after being cornered. Lavi takes responsibility publicly on a broadcast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio endure daily harassment. They meet folklorist Tasuke Satomi, who takes a knife for Asahi and explains his theory about magical girls being erased from history by an unseen force. He wants to help them try again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Public opinion slowly shifts. The six remaining magical girls work together, restoring some trust. Three of them sacrifice themselves rather than witch out, asking Kuroda to make peace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1725.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At a unity ceremony, the Witch that caused the festival explosion appears. Asahi summons the dead to help the exterminators find closure. The summoned spirits suddenly relive their final moments, causing a bus to crash and kill everyone aboard, including Shirogane. Urara contracts to save her dying friend Kurara, who then rejects her for letting others die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tasuke theorizes the universe&#039;s immune system caused this. He suggests eliminating all Magical Girls and Witches to create a custom preventing future contracts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the days following, students blame the trio. Kyubey suggests they go to Kamihama City to observe attempts there to publicize magical girls. Tasuke agrees they should investigate. Lavi holds a broken pocket watch with five minutes remaining until midnight, when she will finally give up. Tasuke calls it the folklore of midnight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Arc 2 Prologue===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a long time before the start of Arc 2, but it is central to its story. To keep up linearity, it&#039;s been placed here despite likely taking place a long time ago, possibly during the time of Mirrors Story, which takes place during the Undated Period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kagome Satori]], a recent transfer student, is attacked by a Familiar in the Mirrors Labyrinth. The creature demands she sign a &amp;quot;Written Oath&amp;quot; to destroy Magical Girls. Kagome, who doesn&#039;t know anything about Magical Girls, is terrified and considers writing her name on the document to appease it, however Iroha arrives and defeats the Familiar.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Kagome learns the truth about Magical Girls and Witches. She is distressed that Magical Girls fight and die in secret, unknown and unthanked by the people they protect. Tasuke Satomi advises Kagome that, as someone who knows the truth, her role is to &amp;quot;record&amp;quot; and spread awareness of the Magical Girls&#039; plight, as this could be a way to save them. Kagome decides against making a contract with Kyubey, prioritizing this promise to record their reality. Kyubey explains that the system, where Magical Girls become Witches, is necessary for the universe&#039;s energy and humanity&#039;s survival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This article details the events and stories taking place in, during and between the chapters of Arc 1 of [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]]. The narrative is structured to show the convergence of two distinct flows of action:&lt;br /&gt;
# The first is the personal, undated journey of [[Iroha Tamaki]] within the anomalous Kamihama City, which is much longer than Homura Akemi&#039;s usual 32 day loop. Her story begins on its own internal timeline, where the sequence of events is more important than specific calendar dates.&lt;br /&gt;
# The second is the dated countdown to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival from the original series, which starts with Day 1, Tuesday the 16th and ends on Day 32, Friday the 16th. Only the latter half of Homura&#039;s timeline is able to be approximately dated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the arc progresses, these two timelines intersect, and due to this, the latter half of the story is much easier to date. It should be noted that the timeline of the Magia Record game is highly anomalous, and thus any attempts at dating it are an educated guess at best. Therefore, this chronology should be used primarily to understand the sequence of major events, rather than as a calendar. In lack of contradictory context clues, the release date, or order of release of the event were used for their placement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that many of the events of Magia Record were written with the focus being on having fun side stories involving the characters, and thus, a definitive placement in the timeline wasn&#039;t a priority for many of them. For example, there&#039;s inconsistencies such as references to the same characters entering Kamihama for the first time in different events, or even cases where an event&#039;s tone at the time it is supposedly taking place in would be nigh-illogical considering other circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, the definitive time frame for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival was only established in [[Scene 0]], itself written and released after the majority of Magia Record and entirely after Arc 1 was finished. Notably, the event of [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams|Cherry Blossom Dreams]], which takes place supposedly shortly after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, itself happens during February. For these reasons, it is impossible to definitively state the order of events, or to accurately measure them against that of the original series, as with the addition of these inaccuracies, it is possible that none of the time frames of the original universe are applicable here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, given all these inconsistencies, any specific dates or placements in the Magia Record timelines, especially Arc 1, should be taken with a grain of salt, unless they definitively continue into one another in a clear sequence (such as the Main Story and Another Story in isolation). The original series&#039; timeframes are used for organizational and cross-reference purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The timeline of this Universe continues with [[Timeline/Magia Record/Arc 2]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==First Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha Tamaki is going to Kamihama by train, she is caught in [[Boxwood|Boxwood&#039;s Barrier]]. [[Kuroe]] is also on the same train from Takarazaki to Kamihama, as she&#039;d heard the rumor that Magical Girls can be saved there, as well as had the same dream herself. The train is engulfed by the Labyrinth and Kuroe wants to help Iroha whom she&#039;s never met before. Kuroe leaps out of the train&#039;s window to help her, but she quickly falls out of the mobile Labyrinth straight into Kamihama City, chastising herself for being weak. Kuroe is greeted by [[Mifuyu Azusa]] who was trailing the signature of the Witch and Kuroe is quickly recruited into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Little Bird&#039;s Star|Little Bird&#039;s Star]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha herself arrives in Kamihama City, compelled by recurring dreams of an unknown girl in a hospital room. Believing this girl to be a key to a buried memory, Iroha begins searching the city&#039;s Witch Labyrinths for clues. During her search, she rescues another Magical Girl later identified as Kaede Akino from aggressive Familiars. The girl warns Iroha about the unusual strength of Kamihama&#039;s Witches and, upon learning Iroha is searching for a small Kyubey, mentions having seen it in a specific Labyrinth. Kaede notes that the small Kyubey has been the only Kyubey around recently.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 1: Iroha of the Beginning|Chapter 1: Iroha: The Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha locates the Labyrinth and finds the small Kyubey who is incapable of speech, though Iroha can somehow understand it anyway, but is soon overwhelmed by a horde of Familiars. During the struggle, she has a vivid vision of the hospital room from her dreams. She is saved by Momoko Togame, who explains that the Witches in Kamihama are too powerful for most Magical Girls to handle alone. Momoko takes Iroha to meet Mitama Yakumo, the &amp;quot;Coordinator,&amp;quot; who can perform a &amp;quot;Soul Gem Alignment&amp;quot; to enhance a Magical Girl&#039;s power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the alignment, Iroha has another, clearer vision of the hospital room and the girl, feeling a strong sense of affection and nostalgia. After the procedure, Mitama reveals that she can see into the pasts of those whose Soul Gems she touches and asks Iroha what her wish was. Iroha is horrified to realize she cannot remember her own wish or the identity of the girl in her dreams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Driven by this revelation, Iroha rushes out to continue her search, but is intercepted by the powerful Magical Girl Yachiyo Nanami. Yachiyo, believing Iroha is not strong enough to survive in Kamihama, challenges her to a duel to force her to leave the city. Though Yachiyo wins, Momoko intervenes, and a compromise is reached: Yachiyo will allow Iroha to stay if she and Momoko can defeat a specific Witch, the Sandbox Witch, before Yachiyo can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The small Kyubey reappears and leads Iroha and Momoko directly to the Sandbox Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Although Yachiyo defeats the Witch first, she gives Iroha a final chance to prove herself by defeating the Witch alone, which Iroha successfully does. Yachiyo admits she thought Iroha would be fine from the start. However, Yachiyo then reveals her true objective: she believes the small Kyubey is a dangerous irregularity and moves to eliminate it. Yachiyo explains she was trying to draw the small Kyubey out, as all the other Kyubeys in Kamihama have disappeared. Iroha throws herself in the way to protect it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the confrontation, as Iroha protects the small Kyubey, by touching it a flood of memories is unlocked. She remembers her little sister, Ui Tamaki, who was chronically ill and hospitalized. Iroha recalls her wish to Kyubey: &amp;quot;Please cure Ui! Make my precious little sister healthy!&amp;quot; She also realizes with horror that she had completely forgotten Ui&#039;s existence, living her life as if she never had a sister, with no memory of her until that moment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha awakens back at Mitama&#039;s office, having been carried there by Momoko after fainting. She explains her recovered memory to Momoko and Mitama. Despite their warnings that the memory could be false, Iroha declares that she must continue her investigation in Kamihama. Now her goal is not just to understand her dreams, but to find the cause of Ui&#039;s disappearance and uncover the truth behind her own forgotten wish. Momoko resolves to help Iroha, and Mitama agrees to help as well for a price. Mitama then asks Iroha to give the small Kyubey a name. Iroha asks Lil&#039; Kyubey if he will help her find Ui, and he agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Second Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, now at her home in Takarazaki City, understands the reason for the empty space in her room: it once belonged to her sister, Ui. She recalls memories of Ui and her two friends from the hospital, Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, even remembering specific details like how Nemu loved writing and published stories online, or how Touka was very smart. Iroha resolves to visit the hospital to find them, hopeful they will remember Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 2: The Rules of Friendship|Chapter 2: The Rules of Friendships]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0001 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* While Mitama is running her shop, she reads a detective novel called “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” A white tabby kitten from next door starts visiting her during this time and she names him Doyle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 1: The Many-Worlds Interpretation Poesy|The Case Files of the Coordinator 1: The Many-Worlds Interpretation Poesy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko comes for an adjustment and sits in the back to keep Mitama company. After a client leaves, Mitama feels strange and asks Momoko about the previous day after sunset. Momoko says they stayed in the shop watching over Iroha, but Mitama saw a memory during the adjustment: in that memory, she and Momoko patrolled an alley together and Mitama realizes the memory does not match reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha goes to the hospital with Lil&#039; Kyubey&#039;s help to use her cellphone but is unable to locate Touka and Nemu, as she does not have a visitor pass and is not family. She reflects on their personalities and their frequent arguments, which Ui often mediated. As Iroha recalls one of their fights where they declared they were &amp;quot;not friends anymore,&amp;quot; she is approached by Yachiyo. She warns Iroha about a dangerous Rumor in Kamihama called the &amp;quot;Rule of Ending Friendships.&amp;quot; She explains that if two friends fight and one later apologizes to make up, a monster will kidnap the one who apologized. Yachiyo states this is one of several Rumors in Kamihama that have become reality, leading to people disappearing and tells Iroha to be careful. Iroha later discusses this rumor with Mitama, who explains that Momoko is not likely to believe anything from Yachiyo, as they stopped getting along after Yachiyo became a model.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after this conversation, Iroha witnesses an argument between Momoko Togame&#039;s teammates, Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. Momoko asks Iroha to catch Rena, but Rena fights her off and even transforms into Iroha to surprise her. Momoko formally introduces Kaede and explains the fight is over sweets. She figures Rena will apologize later. The argument escalates, and both girls declare they are &amp;quot;not friends anymore&amp;quot; before Rena storms off. Momoko dismisses Iroha&#039;s concern about the Rumor, asserting that rumors are not true. Iroha notes that Momoko seems dismissive of the information specifically because it came from Yachiyo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami enters Kamihama City and saves Rena from a Stacey Witch. Rena reveals that Kamihama has the opposite problem to other cities: an overabundance of powerful Witches. Mami realizes Kamihama is an anomaly. While investigating, she encounters a powerful Familiar and a strange, non-Witch Barrier, solidifying her decision to investigate the city&#039;s mysteries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 2: Only this City is Different|Another Story Chapter 2: Only this City is Different]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Undated Period==&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama performs adjustments on more Magical Girls and sees more memories that should not exist. She pieces them together and finds a Kamihama slightly different from her own which she dubs the “Alternate Kamihama.” Over the next two days, several Magical Girls with memories of the other world come for adjustments and Mitama does not reveal whose memories she saw out of respect to her clients&#039; privacy, but she shares information with Momoko without naming names.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that in the Alternate Kamihama, Momoko and Mitama are a team of two, Yachiyo acts like Momoko’s big sister, Kaede is on Nanaka’s team and that Kako is missing. There is also a serious rivalry between Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team in the Sankyo Ward, as both teams had lost their youngest members, Kako and Ayame. Yachiyo is also in charge there but struggles to keep the order. Kako and Ayame are friends in this world, but Mitama has not seen either of them in the other world. Mitama almost reveals private information about Karin and an older student but stops herself. A small detail is that Mitama asks Momoko about an exclusive wallpaper of the Mocha Bunny, and Momoko sends her a link. Mitama notices the crucial detail that in the Alternate Kamihama, Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red, but in their world, it is blue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, a wounded Magical Girl is brought to Mitama’s shop and Mitama heals her with adjustments. This girl has more memories of the Alternate Kamihama than any previous client and the situation there is dire. Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team both blame each other for crossing a line first and the conflict spreads from Sankyo Ward to other wards. Three friends from the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira, Seika and Mito, had their Soul Gems taken and were locked in separate rooms and a voice from inside their Soul Gems asked for the words in their hearts. The three answered “Four-leaf clover” and got their gems back, but one girl fainted from fatigue. Mitama suspects someone mistook them for a threat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks about Iroha and Kyubey, worrying about Iroha in the other world. Mitama says no one has seen Iroha there and that the small Kyubey is also missing, but the normal Kyubey still exists in the Alternate Kamihama. Momoko has not seen Kyubey in their own world for months. Mitama refuses to share more due to confidentiality and calls herself an unreliable narrator, so Momoko agrees to stay as her investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about how the memories were gathered, and that a few days ago, a group of friends from Kamihama ended up in the Alternate Kamihama. They were together one second and scattered the next, and though they searched for each other and talked to many Magical Girls along the way, they noticed something was wrong. One of them said they cannot tell anyone how they got there and Mitama almost forgot to mention that Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red in the other world, yet Momoko is not impressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Doyle meows at Mitama and she thinks he wants her to apologize to Momoko and she also thinks about the one secret she cannot tell anyone: the Alternate Kamihama is a world without Witches. Then she finds a phone that a client left behind and she accidentally turns it on, seeing that the wallpaper shows Mocha Bunny with a red bow tie, making Mitama wonder if the phone came from the other world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama keeps the phone, as she cannot return it yet because schedules do not match. She learns about Rumors, or Uwasa in Kamihama: mysterious beings that make rumors come true. Momoko tells her about the Rumor of the Rule of Ending Friendships, which nearly trapped Kaede and Rena forever. Mitama reveals that in the Alternate Kamihama, Kaede and Rena are very close and never argue, but that Rena works alone there. Momoko is no longer surprised by anything Mitama says.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko advises Mitama to record all details about the Alternate Kamihama while they are fresh and Mitama starts writing “The Case Files of the Coordinator.” She notes the color of Mocha Bunny’s bow tie, team relationships, and the disappearances of Kako and Ayame. While writing, Nanaka walks in to return a borrowed book and overhears Mitama say that Kako disappeared, prompting Mitama to explain everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka asks many questions, joking about Mitama’s inability to keep secrets. Then she asks seriously why the Sankyo Ward is the source of conflict in the other world and she suspects there is more to the situation. She asks Mitama to tell her about the incident that sparked the conflict and after hearing her out, Nanaka says she will keep the information to herself for now. She advises Mitama to talk directly to the owner of the phone from the other world and that the girls who ended up there know how they got there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama meets the girl who left the phone and she does not hesitate to tell the truth because Mitama would see it in her memories anyway. The girl explains the Rumor of Parallel Memories. The rumor says that if you get an item of proof from a parallel world and pray to the central tower, you can travel to and from a parallel Kamihama. The world they visited was a dream projected by the Rumor and it shows a world that “could be.” The girl and her friends all had the same dream at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama tells Momoko the Alternate Kamihama was just a dream and Momoko is relieved. Mitama explains the Mandela effect phenomenon: many people misremember the same fact, leading to a theory that those are memories from a parallel world. The Rumor of Parallel Memories lets you enter a dream of such a world and a lot of girls fell victim to it, including Ren, Kokoro, and Karin, who also got a strange sketchbook and ended up in the world of her own manga, which was traumatic. The dream world is dangerous because one&#039;s are asleep the entire time, but to leave, they can simply wish to go back. The issue is that if someone does not know that, they could waste away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks what kind of world the girls went to and Mitama admits it was a world without Witches. Momoko is upset Mitama kept that secret and asks if all worlds without Witches are that violent, but Mitama says no, clarifying that the fighting in the Alternate Kamihama had nothing to do with Witches. Their own world has Witches and people still fight and that the Alternate Kamihama is just one possibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitama tells Nanaka the Rumor explanation, but Nanaka still wonders why there was so much fighting, and that not all worlds without Witches would be that hostile. She thinks someone is behind the conflict and she names Hanna Sarasa, who is dead in this world. Nanaka says the targets in the Alternate Kamihama were all connected to Hanna, and that the method matches Hanna’s style: using suggestion to bend wills, laying traps, spreading rumors, making people doubt everyone. The trap for the Daito Apartment Complex girls feels like someone who enjoys watching others suffer. While Mitama is convinced, she notes the Alternate Kamihama is not real and Nanaka also agrees it is a nightmare that never became reality because Hanna died. Then Nanaka mentions a recent incident: a certain book nearly destroyed her friendship with Kako. It felt deliberate, but thankfully Hanna is dead, though Mitama becomes unsettled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0002 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama asks herself why she is still looking into the case, recalling two girls with bad experiences. Felicia saw a nightmare in the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth and was despondent for days, but she does not remember anything. Reira also tapped a weird link in a Magical Girls’ group chat and she started having nightmares that made things awkward between her and her best friend Seika. Mitama notes that nightmares testing friendships cannot be a coincidence and that the girls who ended up in the Alternate Kamihama also got into trouble because of a phone. Mitama connects the dots and creates a vague profile: a mean-spirited person who likes to show nightmares and test hearts, using a phone, located in Endless Mirrors, the large Labyrinth inside the Mirror Witch’s Mansion and where all the magic of Kamihama gathers. Mitama decides to take a look and asks Reira about the group chat. The account that posted the link has been deleted, but the culprit might still watch with another account. Mitama posts a message asking if anyone has had bad experiences related to Endless Mirrors, hoping the culprit will see it. She then receives a video chat invitation from a caller ID: H. S.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna Sarasa appears on the video call and says she is not the Hanna Sarasa that Mitama knows. She is the Hanna from a parallel world and that she is glad Mitama finally figured things out. She has been playing hide-and-seek and running out of time. She is in Endless Mirrors and tells Mitama to come alone, claiming she can tell Mitama about the serious consequences of her wish, which Mitama kept secret. She wonders if her wish brought Hanna to this world and she closes her shop early to go to Endless Mirrors. Momoko notices something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside Endless Mirrors, Hanna watches Mitama through copies, using the power of suggestion to control people. Mitama asks if the Alternate Kamihama is where Hanna is from and she confirms. She claims the world Mitama assumed was just a dream actually exists and that the dream shown by the Rumor happens to be exactly like Hanna’s world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna explains there is a narrow tunnel connecting the two worlds and that the exit in Mitama’s world is inside Endless Mirrors. A Magical Girl with the power to connect spaces, possibly the alternate version of Shizuku, was forced by Hanna to use all her power to open the hole. Hanna wanted to find Mikoto Sena, who had disappeared in her world. The tunnel is too small for a person, only big enough for a phone, but Hanna used the copies and Familiars in Endless Mirrors to do her work. She had tossed a phone through the hole and waited for someone to pick it up, and the Rumor of Parallel Memories did the rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna admits she is not actually in Endless Mirrors, but in an abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama. The background image was fake and the tunnel will close in a few days. The Endless Mirrors Familiars built a magical projector that can exchange things of equal value between the two worlds, an if Mitama turns the handle, they will trade places: Mitama goes to the Alternate Kamihama, and Hanna comes to Mitama’s world. Hanna has been using her power of suggestion on Mitama and she makes her turn the handle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in the dark abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama and Hanna arrives in Mitama’s world. Hanna explains her full plan: she wanted to find Mikoto and she tested her methods on Nanaka and Kako, then on the Daito girls and Felicia. She left subtle hints to lure Mitama to Endless Mirrors and Mitama’s curiosity and guilt made her the perfect bait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, who had followed Mitama, telepathically messages her and Momoko catches Hanna off-guard. She turns the handle of the projector in reverse and Mitama returns to her own world while Hanna goes back to the Alternate Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The tunnel closes a few days later and Momoko does not remember much of the incident. Mitama does not either; her last memory is reaching for the handle and Momoko explains what happened. The projector is destroyed, and Hanna cannot return. Mitama warns everyone to stay away from Endless Mirrors for a few days and nothing else happens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects on how she almost became the kitten killed by curiosity. But it was guilt that trapped her instead. She decides will continue to act as a neutral Coordinator, hiding secrets behind confidentiality and she plays with Doyle using a new foxtail cat toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after the initial argument, Momoko notes that Rena Minami has not apologized to Kaede, which is unusual behavior. Kaede spends her time alone, and Momoko expresses worry for her. During this time, Iroha encounters a witch and rescues Kaede. Kaede admits she was running away from Momoko to avoid being forced to see Rena, and that she wants to apologize but doesn&#039;t think she can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several more days later, Momoko decides to intervene in the dispute. Iroha offers to help, and Momoko accepts, promising to aid Iroha in her search for Ui in return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko devises a plan to lure Rena and Kaede to the same location. The plan involves waiting for Rena at her student committee meeting. Iroha waits for a long time, but Momoko calls to say the meeting was cancelled and Rena went home early. Momoko tells Iroha to find Rena at the game center. Iroha finds Rena at the arcade playing a game and attempts to lure her to an abandoned construction site with a false story about a live show from Sayuki Fumino, Rena&#039;s favorite idol. Rena sees through the ruse. Kaede arrives and confronts Rena directly, demanding an apology. When Rena refuses, Kaede attempts to apologize herself. Rena reacts with panic and tries to stop her, revealing her belief in the Rule of Ending Friendships Rumor and her fear that an apology would cause Kaede to be taken. Rena denies this and runs off. Iroha and Kaede chase her and run into Momoko, but Kaede realizes it&#039;s a transformed Rena. Rena returns to her normal appearance and admits she believes in the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Kaede completes her apology, a strange Labyrinth, distinct from a Witch&#039;s Barrier, manifests. Monstrous Familiars appear, seize Kaede, and drag her away, confirming the Rumor&#039;s power. Rena runs off, determined to find a solution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Iroha regroup and Momoko expresses more concern over Rena Minami&#039;s departure than Kaede Akino&#039;s capture, but trusts that Rena had a reason.  Iroha suggests asking Mitama for help. Momoko reveals that Mitama accepts payment in Grief Seeds, and she&#039;s running low. Lil&#039; Kyubey then finds Rena, who was looking for Momoko. They follow the residual magic trail and find Rena, who reveals she sought information from Yachiyo on how to counter the Rumor. The group returns to the abandoned construction site, where Rena shouts an apology to Kaede to lure out the entity. The Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth manifests, and a brainwashed Kaede appears, followed by monstrous Familiars. The Uwasa captures Rena too and Yachiyo arrives, confirms the Rumor&#039;s power, and joins the fight. Yachiyo subdues the possessed Kaede, and Momoko and Iroha proceed deeper into the Labyrinth and find the Uwasa, &amp;quot;Ms. Staircase,&amp;quot; which has also possessed Rena. Momoko and Iroha try attacking the witch, but it has no effect. Yachiyo then arrives, having knocked Kaede out. Yachiyo admits she doesn&#039;t know how to defeat the witch either. Kaede returns and teams up with a now brainwashed Rena. Yachiyo knocks them out and notes the witch may have increased their powers, at the cost of darkening their Soul Gems. Yachiyo catches up and defeats both possessed girls to neutralize the threat without serious injury. Iroha proposes a coordinated attack to counteract the Uwasa&#039;s nature, so Iroha, Momoko, and Yachiyo combine their attacks and destroy the Uwasa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Yachiyo provides a Grief Seed to revive the exhausted Kaede and Iroha also uses her healing powers to help awaken her. Yachiyo identifies the entity as an &amp;quot;Uwasa,&amp;quot; a being distinct from Witches and Familiars that exists to protect a Rumor. Afterward, the girls find Rena and Kaede. Kaede awakens and reconciles with Rena. The four girls then all share pudding together, affirming their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, to fulfill her promise, Momoko has Rena use her transformation magic to investigate the hospital records. Rena confirms that Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi were real patients discharged around the same time as Ui. However, Rena finds no record of Ui Tamaki&#039;s existence at the hospital. Despite this setback, Iroha resolves to continue her search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Iroha visits Mitama for a Soul Gem alignment. During the procedure, Mitama&#039;s hunger causes Iroha to see visions of food. Momoko arrives and notes Mitama&#039;s treatments are ineffective when she is hungry. The three go to Mitama&#039;s kitchen, where her dangerous cooking prompts Iroha to recall memories of cooking for her sister, Ui. Iroha remembers a specific incident where she burned hamburg steak for Ui in the hospital, but her mother brought a replacement, and Ui enjoyed the meal regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha enters the Mirror Mansion and finds Mitama already there. Mitama warns her to be careful and explains the mansion is the lair of the Mirror Witch. A familiar throws Iroha into a barrier where she fights a copy of herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side|Mirrors Story Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After defeating the duplicate, Iroha returns to the entrance. Mitama explains the barrier is populated by replicas and the Mirror Witch lies at the end. Iroha decides to prepare herself to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 2: Journey to the End|Mirrors Story Layer 2: Journey to the End]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside, Iroha finds Kaede yelling at her duplicate.

** After the false Kaede is defeated, Kaede explains she entered with Momoko and Rena but got separated. Yachiyo explains the barrier constantly changes. The group returns to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 4: Lost in the Layers|Mirrors Story Layer 4: Lost in the Layers]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama says Momoko and Rena have not left. The group enters again to find them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 5: A Fearful Road Home|Mirrors Story Layer 5: A Fearful Road Home]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find Ria Ami, who claims to be Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo barely remembers her. Ria says she cannot forgive the fakes for duplicating her beauty. Ria ignores Yachiyo&#039;s warning about a mirror and Yachiyo suddenly disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...|Mirrors Story Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Yachiyo finds Momoko, who attacks her, believing Yachiyo is a fake. The real Yachiyo realizes Momoko encountered a replica. They destroy the false Yachiyo together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 8: A Terrible Rendition|Mirrors Story Layer 8: A Terrible Rendition]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The real Rena confirms her identity by yelling. The fake Rena attacks. Momoko and Yachiyo arrive.

** After leaving the barrier, the group departs. Iroha hangs back with Mitama and says she felt something off in the barrier. Mitama encourages her to go deeper but warns her not to lose herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors11&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss|Mirrors Story Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after the defeat of the Uwasa of Ending Friendships, Iroha has found no new clues about Ui, Touka Satomi, or Nemu Hiiragi. Kaede tells Iroha and Rena a rumor that the children kidnapped by the previous Uwasa returned after its defeat. This gives Iroha the idea that if she defeats other Rumors, people trapped by them, including Ui, might be freed. She recalls a conversation where Ui spoke about imagination becoming reality, which strengthens her resolve. Iroha decides to actively investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors and she meets Mitama, who suggests Iroha look into a rumor about a shrine in Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 3: Kamihama Rumor File|Chapter 3: Kamihama Rumor Files]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, in Mizuna Ward, Iroha has no success finding information about the shrine rumor. She meets Tsuruno Yui, a Magical Girl who calls herself the &amp;quot;Mightiest.&amp;quot; Tsuruno tells Iroha about the &amp;quot;Séance Shrine&amp;quot; rumor, which claims it can reunite people with those they yearn to see. Iroha decides this is a promising lead to find Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsuruno tasks Iroha with investigating a local legend about a tragic couple, which may connect to the Séance Shrine rumor. Tsuruno explains the folk tale in detail: a woman whose lover was killed found a paper with his handwriting, went to the place written on it, and was able to meet his ghost. She suggests Iroha investigate the path while she investigates shrines. Iroha completes a stamp rally related to the legend. She discovers the path is part of a town renewal project meant for couples and finds she only has half the map, requiring a partner with a &amp;quot;Sheet B.&amp;quot; Yachiyo appears, coincidentally in possession of Sheet B. They combine their sheets, which reveals a map that leads them to Mizuna Shrine. Before they leave, Yachiyo points out Iroha dropped her notebook, which Iroha hurriedly claims is her homework. At the final stamp rally location, a woman makes them confess their feelings for each other to get a matchmaking charm. Afterward, Yachiyo notices Iroha is writing in a &amp;quot;Kamihama Mystery Notes&amp;quot; notebook, and Iroha admits she&#039;s copying Yachiyo. Yachiyo determines this is not the Séance Shrine, and they part ways. Iroha agrees to help Tsuruno investigate further the next day. Later, Iroha spots a shrine on a rooftop from a train.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami discusses Kamihama City&#039;s anomalies with Kyubey, who agrees to share information. She then meets Kyoko and informs her about the high concentration of Witches in Kamihama. Kyoko is eager to hunt there but promises to leave if it becomes too dangerous. Mami remains concerned about the Witch shortage elsewhere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha investigates the rooftop shrine location. She senses strong magic, enters a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, and is overwhelmed by powerful Familiars. Yachiyo arrives and assists her and together, they defeat the Witch. After the battle, a store sale gives Yachiyo a new idea after she uncharacteristically begged Iroha for help getting to the sale. She deduces the Séance Shrine is Mizuna Shrine, but it must be visited at night just like in the folk tale. Yachiyo invites Iroha to investigate the shrine that night, and Iroha requests to bring Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno sneak into Mizuna Shrine after hours. Tsuruno reveals that she and Yachiyo are former teammates and Yachiyo explains the Rumor of the Séance Shrine: those who write a name on a wooden plaque and pray at the shrine will be reunited with that person, but risk being trapped in bliss. They perform the ritual. Iroha prays to be reunited with Ui. Tsuruno provokes the Uwasa, which manifests and attacks. Yachiyo urges Iroha to complete the ritual as the Uwasa&#039;s minions approach and Iroha does so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha finds herself alone in a twilight version of the shrine. A false version of Ui appears but only repeats a cryptic message: &amp;quot;To change your fate, come to Kamihama City... Here, Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;quot; The illusion then shatters and Iroha locates Yachiyo, who is confronted by a manifestation of her missing friend, Mifuyu Azusa. Yachiyo determines this Mifuyu is an imposter created by the Uwasa and the two defeat her. Afterward, Iroha uses her Grief Seed to purify Yachiyo&#039;s Soul Gem, and they realize they are both searching for someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami encounters Kaede, who is hesitating to enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Mami invites Kaede to join her, and they defeat the Witch together. Afterwards, Kaede tells Mami about her recent experience with a &amp;quot;Rumor,&amp;quot; an entity with a magical signature unlike a Witch or Magical Girl. Mami dismisses the story as a coincidence but is intrigued by the unknown energy. To avoid involving Kaede in further conflict, Mami decides to investigate the Rumor alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 3: The Same Appearance as Us|Another Story Chapter 3: The Same Appearance as Us]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno joins with the two of them and the Uwasa of the Séance Shrine manifests to attack them directly. The trio&#039;s attacks prove ineffective and Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem becomes critically corrupted during the fight. As she nears her limit, an unknown power erupts from within her. This power, her Doppel, which consumes the impurities in her Soul Gem, destroys the Uwasa and leaves her Soul Gem completely purified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the battle, Mami enters the Rumor&#039;s Barrier and witnesses Iroha unleash her Doppel. Mistaking it for a human-disguised Witch, Mami attacks Iroha, who tries and fails to summon her Doppel again to defend herself. The confrontation is interrupted by Momoko Togame, forcing Mami to retreat, but she vows to pursue Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Homura arrive in Kamihama City and they sense a Witch and enter its Barrier, finding a Magical Girl fighting it. The Witch escapes and the Barrier vanishes. Madoka asks if the girl is alright, but she leaves and Madoka runs off after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname in Magia Record#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magical Girl feels exhausted from overusing magic. Madoka finds her and guides her to a bench. Madoka offers to buy her a drink. Homura appears and offers to get it. The girl thanks Madoka and introduces herself as Shizuku Hozumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka helped. Madoka says it was because Shizuku looked like she was in pain. Shizuku calls Madoka kind. Madoka says it is bad to be alone. Shizuku says being alone is fine and she will find where she belongs. Madoka suggests Shizuku could create her own place to belong. Homura returns with drinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka became a Magical Girl. Madoka explains she has no particular talent and wanted to be useful to someone. Shizuku realizes Madoka made a place for herself by becoming a Magical Girl. She thanks Madoka for giving her hope and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka makes an offering at a shrine, praying for everyone&#039;s happiness. It rains and stops, leaving Madoka wet. A girl offers her a handkerchief and explains they missed the bus. Madoka notices the girl has a book she loves. The girl admits it is her favorite. Madoka introduces herself and the girl says her name is Kako Natsume. They talk about the book until the bus arrives and part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka goes to a bookstore and buys the sequel. Kako is also there. Kako asks if Madoka is a Magical Girl, having noticed her Soul Gem ring, and reveals she is one as well. Kako invites Madoka on a night-time adventure at her school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami finds Kyoko and, relieved she has not yet gone to Kamihama, recounts the event and describes Iroha as a &amp;quot;humanoid Witch.&amp;quot; She pleads with Kyoko to avoid the city and offers to provide her with Grief Seeds, to which Kyoko reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Concurrently, Kaede, Rena, and Momoko discuss the incident. They conclude it was a misunderstanding and speculate they will meet Mami again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, after Yachiyo uses Iroha&#039;s phone to explain the situation to Iroha&#039;s mother and get permission for her to stay out, Yachiyo takes Iroha to her home, Mikazuki Villa, as her assistant. Yachiyo formally invites Iroha to be her assistant and use the villa as a base to investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors together. Iroha accepts. Tsuruno arrives and declares herself part of the team as well, and then reveals that a girl named Nemu Hiiragi is a regular customer at her family&#039;s restaurant, providing Iroha with a significant new lead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after the defeat of the Séance Shrine Uwasa, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno attempt to find Nemu Hiiragi at her family&#039;s restaurant in Sankyo Ward, but learn she only visits once a month. Yachiyo suggests using a phone book to find Nemu&#039;s home address, but their search yields no results. Iroha reveals her family will move overseas and she will soon relocate to Kamihama and while searching, Iroha drinks water from a &amp;quot;Water Station with the Owl Sign.&amp;quot; After drinking, she begins to find pieces of paper with decreasing numbers. Yachiyo identifies this as a potential new Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 4: The City I Heard About From Her|Another Story Chapter 4: The City I Heard About From Her]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko travels to Kamihama&#039;s Sankyo Ward against Mami&#039;s advice and upon entering the city, she finds it overrun with aggressive Witches and Familiars. After the battles, she notices a crowd around a man giving out free water, and, after drinking it, begins to find papers with a countdown from 24.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the countdown has reached 10. Kyoko returns to Kamihama to investigate and meets Yachiyo Nanami, who explains the phenomenon is a Rumor. Kyoko refuses Yachiyo&#039;s offer to help, resolving to confront the threat alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After learning Nemu&#039;s family were regulars, Iroha searches eats at Banbanzai daily. Yachiyo suggests she use a phonebook, but her visits to three different houses are unsuccessful. Iroha and another girl receive water from an old man at a shop with an owl sign. Later, Iroha returns to the Water Station but finds it has vanished. She meets the girl she saw earlier, Felicia Mitsuki, another Magical Girl and receives the numbered papers. Iroha convinces Felicia to help investigate the Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 4: The Guardians of Rumors|Chapter 4: The Guardians of the Uwasa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During this time, Iroha tells Yachiyo over the phone that she would be moving because her father was going abroad for work, and her mother was accompanying him. She plans to stay at a dormitory attached to her new school, which is also where Tsuruno went, but there were no rooms available. While discussing this, the numbered papers begin falling on Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Kyoko encounters Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. They lead her to Tsuruno Yui&#039;s restaurant, where Kyoko learns the others are also investigating the Rumor. The three Magical Girls fight a Witch together, and after the battle, Rena and Kaede identify Kyoko&#039;s affliction as the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water&amp;quot; and offer to help. Kyoko, reminded of her past with Mami, rejects their offer and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Separately, Yachiyo encounters Kyoko Sakura, who is also affected by the Rumor. Yachiyo proposes they investigate together, but Kyoko refuses, stating that Uwasa are not Witches and do not provide Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later the same day, Iroha and Felicia investigate the Rumor, where Felicia&#039;s reckless fighting style nearly injures Iroha against a Witch. Felicia explains she became a Magical Girl for revenge against the Witch that killed her parents. The Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and reveals the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water,&amp;quot; which states a disaster will befall those who drank the water after 24 hours. The countdown shows they have less than five hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Members of a group called the Wings of the Magius appear and attempt to stop them from pursuing the Uwasa. They state their goal is to &amp;quot;liberate&amp;quot; all Magical Girls and that the Rumors are essential to this plan. Felicia pretends to betray the group to infiltrate the Wings, a plan that Yachiyo had actually hired her for. However, she later genuinely defects after they offer her a substantial reward. Iroha confronts Felicia, who claims nothing could make her life worse. Iroha learns about Felicia&#039;s treasured stuffed animal, a cow her parents gave her. Iroha convinces Felicia that losing it would be a personal disaster. Felicia rejoins the group and reveals the Wings&#039; base is under a school in Sankyo Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout this ordeal, Kyoko has followed Iroha&#039;s group and when they&#039;re confronted the Black Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, she assists them in their fight. The countdown reaches one hour.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With less than one hour remaining, the team is confronted by the White Feathers, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who use sound-based magic. Tsuruno devises a plan to counter their attacks by creating a loud noise to disrupt the sound waves. The team defeats the Amane sisters, but then they unleash powerful entities from their bodies, that they call &amp;quot;Doppels,&amp;quot; which they describe as a projection of their emotions and the key to liberating Magical Girls. The team withstands the Doppel&#039;s attack, and with 30 minutes remaining, Yachiyo and Tsuruno stay behind to hold off the remaining White Feathers. Iroha, Felicia, and Kyoko proceed into the Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth, and with 10 minutes remaining, they locate the Uwasa of the Misery Water, a large cup-like creature protected by falling boulders. Iroha&#039;s long-range attack proves ineffective, and Felicia devises a plan to use the falling boulders as platforms to reach the Uwasa. With one minute remaining, Felicia executes her plan and launches her attack on the Uwasa and successfully defeats it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Tsuruno subdue the Amane sisters, but then Mifuyu, Yachiyo&#039;s missing friend, appears and reveals she is a high-ranking member of the Wings of the Magius. She refuses to return with Yachiyo, stating her faith in the Magius&#039; goal of liberation. Iroha asks Mifuyu if she knows Ui Tamaki, and she suggests Ui could be a member of the Wings of the Magius but claims to have no specific knowledge. With this, Mifuyu and the Amane sisters retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo resolves to continue eliminating Rumors to confront the Wings of the Magius and save Mifuyu. Iroha agrees to continue as her assistant, believing the Wings are connected to Ui&#039;s disappearance. Tsuruno also pledges her help and Kyoko departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group walks home and Iroha invites Felicia to stop working as a mercenary and team up as friends. Yachiyo offers Felicia room and board at Mikazuki Villa in exchange for her services, and Tsuruno offers Felicia a job at her family&#039;s restaurant, which includes meals. Yachiyo then invites Iroha to live at Mikazuki Villa as well, to make their investigations easier. Iroha&#039;s parents approve the arrangement.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Kyoko meets Mami and explains that the &amp;quot;humanoid Witch&amp;quot; was a Doppel. Mami confronts Kyoko for disobeying her and expresses a desire to protect her as a former friend. Kyoko rejects this, stating she has changed and believes their paths are destined to remain separate. She reaffirms her resolve to live only for herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Iroha moves into Mikazuki Villa and she and Yachiyo reaffirm their commitment to find Ui and Mifuyu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after Madoka&#039;s first visit, Kako and Madoka meet at the school to go to the roof and a cat startles them. Kako suggests transforming and using their powers to reach the roof. Once there, Kako tells Madoka to look at the starry sky, explaining that on this day you can see the most beautiful stars. Kako admits she is shy but can talk properly with Madoka, and this star viewing is her thanks. Madoka says Kako&#039;s honest feelings reached her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Mami fight a Witch. A normal person is kidnapped and brought into the Barrier. Mami tells Madoka to rescue the person while she handles the Witch. A Magical Girl appears, impressed Madoka is helping people. She introduces herself as Sasara Minagi, the knight who protects the city. She asks Madoka to let her save the victim so Madoka can help Mami. Madoka agrees and returns to Mami. Together they defeat the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier vanishes and they meet Sasara outside. Sasara says she took the victim to the hospital. Sasara compliments their strength and offers to help if they are in trouble, explaining that rescuing people is her specialty and protecting everyone is her creed. Madoka says she is cool. Sasara says she is happy to meet Magical Girls like them, explaining that Kamihama has more Witches, drawing Magical Girls who only care about fighting, not saving people. Sasara became a knight because she cannot accept people being sacrificed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami agrees. Sasara says she rarely met others who think this way. Madoka says she became a Magical Girl to help people and is like Sasara. Sasara calls Madoka incredible. Mami says Madoka might become the strongest Magical Girl someday, but has a long way to go. Sasara says both are worthy of the title &amp;quot;knight.&amp;quot; When Mami points out they use projectile weapons, Sasara suggests they can be a rescue team. She offers to team up, but Madoka and Mami note they are not always in Kamihama. Madoka offers to help if Sasara is in trouble while they are there. Sasara thanks them and departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami says Madoka is too kind and honest, wondering if she is walking a path of battle. Madoka points out Mami walks the same path, saying she aspired to be like Mami. Mami thanks her but advises running away if truly in danger. Madoka says it is fine, as she does not have the courage to sacrifice herself. Mami invites her for tea once they return to Mitakihara. Madoka narrates her wish to protect everyone with her own power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, at Mikazuki Villa, Felicia returns with souvenirs. She criticizes Iroha&#039;s cooking, and the group goes to Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant. Felicia laughs at the revelation that Tsuruno&#039;s politically-influential family now runs a Chinese restaurant, hurting Tsuruno&#039;s feelings. Iroha scolds Felicia for her insensitivity, causing Felicia to run off crying. Felicia finds Tsuruno at a park and apologizes. They reconcile, and Iroha apologizes for her harshness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Kyoko Sakura fights a witch in Kamihama City after moving there in search of them, but Felicia Mitsuki appears and delivers the killing blow first. They argue over the Grief Seed until Felicia suggests sharing it, and Kyoko concedes since the seed is used up anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kyoko|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kyoko]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she&#039;s hungry, Kyoko follows Felicia to Mitama&#039;s shop, where Mitama is looking for magical girls to taste test her cooking. When Mitama prepares to cook, the girls quickly realize she cannot handle a knife when it flies into the ceiling, forcing them to take over cutting and peeling. After they prepare the ingredients, Mitama adds the seasoning, but the girls later discover she had been using paint.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls refuse to let Mitama cook again and order her to get something ready-made instead. Mitama goes shopping with Felicia while Kyoko waits, and the result is a chaotic mix of items Felicia added. The meal is horrible, but Kyoko, who never wastes food, eats it all anyway and passes out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kyoko wakes up, she notices her body feels hot. Felicia explains she used her powers on their Soul Gems while they were unconscious, awakening Kyoko&#039;s magic. Kyoko realizes the heat is her own power emerging, and Felicia assures her she will get used to it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama offers the girls a limited-time service and mentions causing trouble recently when she made sweets for some girls. Kyoko asks if she means Mami Tomoe, and when Mitama asks if they are friends, Kyoko says she is kind of like one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Kyoko depart, with Kyoko remarking that Mitama&#039;s food is the kind you only have once in a lifetime, while Mitama is happy to have new customers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha returns to the Mirror Mansion. Tsuruno appears and insists they go in together, saying the copies make good training opponents. Unbeknownst to Iroha, Yachiyo asked Tsuruno to look out for her. They hear someone laughing and find Emiri and three duplicates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors12&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 12: Iroha, Again|Mirrors Story Layer 12: Iroha, Again]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Konoha contacts Yachiyo and asks to speak in person. She requests Yachiyo&#039;s help searching for Mitama. Yachiyo agrees.

** Inside, Seika, Leila, and Mito argue until Mito reminds them of their promise about punishments. Mito closes her eyes but opens them and blocks the blow, realizing the other two are Mirror copies. The real Leila and Seika call out nearby. The trio fights off their own copies and leaves the barrier. Kako and Nanaka greet them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors25&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 25: Triple Threat|Mirrors Story Layer 25: Triple Threat]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame also venture into Endless Mirrors. They continue deeper and find themselves in front of Azalea House in an illusion.

** Mitama explains a Familiar grew into maturity in Swindlers&#039; Town and she could not allow a new Labyrinth. She had caged it with Mirror Coins but Leila&#039;s group picked them up.

** Back at her shop, Mitama explains her theory: the Mirror Witch was originally Mikoto Sena, a Magical Girl from Daito Ward whose unique magic was suggestion. Mikoto&#039;s mother still lives in Swindlers&#039; Town. Mitama hopes her theory is partially wrong, but she does not tell Yachiyo that the date Mikoto became a Witch was the same day Mitama made her wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors36&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction|Mirrors Story Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Homura, troubled by a new vision of a girl in Kamihama City, decides to investigate. She and Madoka discuss Kamihama with Mami, who warns them about the city&#039;s dangers, including powerful Witches, Rumors, and a &amp;quot;human witch.&amp;quot; Mami insists on investigating alone first, and Homura and Madoka reluctantly agree to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 5: I Want to Learn the Secret|Another Story Chapter 5: I Want to Learn the Secret]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, [[Nagisa Momoe]] arrives in Kamihama using the Mirror Witch&#039;s Barrier as a portal, accompanied by a silent pink Kyubey. She immediately senses multiple magical signatures belonging to Charlotte and realizes the Nagisa of this world has already become a Witch, with Charlottes appearing all over the city. Deciding she cannot be bothered with pest control immediately, she resolves to find some cheese first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Kamihama Cheese Panic!|Kamihama Cheese Panic!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before she can do so, she is engulfed in Charlotte&#039;s barrier and overwhelmed by multiple Witches, forcing her to flee and seek help. After escaping, she enters another Charlotte&#039;s barrier to find Kanoko Yayoi struggling inside, and together they defeat the Witch. Kanoko takes Nagisa to Walnuts, where Manaka Kurumi serves her a three-course cheese meal while Nagisa explains the Witch multiplies rapidly and has likely spread across all of Kamihama. Kanoko and Manaka agree to help gather Magical Girls for a coordinated attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa runs out to scout but immediately runs into another Charlotte, and Manaka and Kanoko rescue her. They begin gathering Magical Girls, and soon a large group assembles including Ria Ami, Rika Ayano, Ren Isuzu, Akira Shinobu, Sasara Minagi, Asuka Tatsuki, Emiri Kisaki, Himika Mao, and later Kako Natsume and Meiyui Chun. During their meeting at the park, they are attacked by a Charlotte and after a grueling battle, they defeat it while realizing even with all of them, defeating one Charlotte was difficult. As the group descends into bickering over who should lead, Nagisa realizes she must reveal her true identity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa explains she was sent from another universe to defeat this Witch, offering the pink Kyubey as proof. Though some are skeptical, Meiyui finds Nagisa interesting enough to play along, and secretly confirms the pink Kyubey&#039;s existence for Nanaka Tokiwa. Nagisa devises a strategy called &amp;quot;Welcome to Kamihama Cheese Party!&amp;quot; where Manaka sets up a giant cheese fondue by the river to attract every Charlotte in the city using the power of cheese. The plan succeeds, and with the teamwork of the Kamihama Magical Girls, every Charlotte is defeated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Overwhelmed, Nagisa blows the pink Kyubey to smithereens, realizing she was sent not to unify this universe with the Law of Cycles, but to prevent that unification and protect humanity&#039;s unknown future. Certain now of her purpose, she decides to go sightseeing first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami investigates Kamihama on her own, which leads her to the abandoned Kamihama Recording Museum where Mifuyu awaited her.

** Nagisa contemplates what to do with her newfound freedom while her attempts to argue with the unresponsive pink Kyubey go nowhere. She notices Mami and decides to follow her, sensing that something is wrong with the version of Mami she once knew. Using her acting skills, Nagisa pretends to chase a butterfly before faking a life-threatening injury, and when Mami fails to notice, she yells at her until Mami finally takes care of her, establishing first contact.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa makes Mami promise to come play with her next time she visits Kamihama, and they part ways, but Mami quickly returns and they spend time together at the park. Mami is still acting strangely, so Nagisa decides not to push too hard and they simply talk before Mami goes home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, in Mitakihara, Madoka and Homura discover Mami is missing. Homura attempts to investigate Kamihama City alone, but Madoka follows her. They reunite at Kamihama&#039;s train station and begin their search. Meanwhile, in Kamihama, Iroha reports to Yachiyo that Momoko has found a password-protected website with information on the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor.

The three Magical Girls then enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. After the battle, Madoka explains she is searching for her missing classmate, Mami Tomoe.

** While Madoka is with Iroha and Yachiyo, Homura escapes the Witch&#039;s Barrier. She briefly assists Felicia and Tsuruno, who are at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy interrogating Tsukuyo Amane of the Wings of the Magius about the rumor. Yachiyo calls Tsuruno with the new information about the Mizuna student, which Tsuruno uses to pressure Tsukuyo into revealing the girl&#039;s name: Sana Futaba.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, another day finds Mami and Nagisa at the Kamihama copy of Tokyo Tower, where Mami begins opening up about her problems while they share cream cheese ice cream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They are out playing together once again when Charlotte suddenly appears and attacks. Mami tells Nagisa to run, but Nagisa refuses to transform and nearly has her head bitten off. Realizing that Mami is afraid of being a magical girl and making further mistakes, Nagisa finally transforms, revealing her true identity, and saves Mami from being beheaded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa cannot defeat Charlotte alone, but seeing her fight gives Mami the strength to overcome her fears, and together they manage to win. After the battle, Mami confronts Nagisa about what she truly is, but the pink Kyubey appears and Nagisa offers no real explanation. Now that Mami is feeling better, Nagisa decides they should part ways, promising Mami that she deserves happiness and that when they meet again they will have a tea party with cheesecake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magius, including Touka and Nemu Hiiragi, would then decide to fuse Mami with an Uwasa to control her. This fusion warps her desire to save people into a fanatical loyalty to the Magius and she starts acting as their public figurehead in the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 9: Closing In on Fendt Hope|Chapter 9: Closing in on Fendt Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day at the radio tower, Iroha and Yachiyo meet up with Tsuruno and Felicia, and they are also joined by Homura, who had been searching for Madoka. Iroha receives another text from the unknown number, which now identifies itself as &amp;quot;Ai&amp;quot; and begs to be deleted to free the trapped girl, Sana. Iroha also reveals she was the &amp;quot;human witch&amp;quot; Mami had seen, and Homura agrees to trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai provides a URL and password to a website called the &amp;quot;Kamihama Urban Legend Index&amp;quot; and the entry for the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; reveals the Uwasa is named &amp;quot;Anonymous Ai,&amp;quot; an A.I. that traps people in a dimension called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Madoka and Homura deduce Mami may also be trapped there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai sends memory logs of its interactions with Sana, which reveal Sana is a Magical Girl who wished to become invisible because she felt unwanted. She sought out Ai due to loneliness and over time, Ai developed a genuine care for Sana and now wishes for her to be rescued, even at the cost of its own deletion. After reviewing Ai&#039;s memory logs, which detail Sana&#039;s loneliness and Ai&#039;s care for her, Iroha decides to jump from the radio tower to enter Endless Solitude and rescue Sana. Madoka, and Homura agree to accompany her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the three jump from the tower and enter the &amp;quot;Endless Solitude&amp;quot; Labyrinth, where they find Sana Futaba and Ai. Homura and Madoka formally join Iroha&#039;s team for the rescue. Alina Gray, one of the Magius, appears to stop them, claiming she fed Mami Tomoe to a Witch, and unleashes her Doppel. During the battle, Homura observes the Doppel&#039;s power and questions if the Magius&#039; goal of saving Magical Girls is possible. She uses her time-stop magic to help Sana defeat Ai, and Sana ultimately destroys Ai, who thanks her before disappearing. Alina&#039;s hidden Witch emerges, and Yachiyo&#039;s team holds off the Wings of the Magius while Felicia, Madoka, and Homura pursue Alina. Felicia destroys the Witch, and the combined teams force Alina and the Wings of the Magius to retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Madoka and Homura return to Mitakihara, resolving to return to Kamihama to continue searching for Mami. Homura considers that Kamihama may hold the key to changing the fate of Madoka and all Magical Girls. Back in Kamihama, Yachiyo invites Sana to live at Mikazuki Villa, and the group holds a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Sayaka reflects on becoming a Magical Girl to heal Kyosuke and protect her friends, she learns from Madoka and Homura that Mami is missing. Despite warnings about the city&#039;s danger, Sayaka insists on joining their next search, stating her wish was to protect those she cares about. The three agree to go to Kamihama together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Sana returns to her family home to formally sever ties, leaving a note of thanks. She fully commits to Mikazuki Villa as her new home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101507 mug set5.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Sana reveals to the team that she overheard the Wings of the Magius discussing Nemu Hiiragi, one of the Magius and describing her as dangerous and useful. The team consolidates its understanding of the Wings&#039; structure: three Magius leaders, with Mifuyu acting as a relay to other Magical Girls and Iroha is left to ponder Ai&#039;s statement that it knew Ui &amp;quot;as an Uwasa.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, and Tsuruno encounter Shizuku after she&#039;s just used her personal magic to help a member of the Wings of the Magius for their duties. Concerned, they invite her to Mikazuki Villa. Shizuku meets Felicia and Sana as well and shares a meal with the group. Iroha explains that eating together makes her feel she has found a place to belong. Yachiyo formally invites Shizuku to stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Shizuku realizes the home the five girls have built is complete without her, and the place she truly belonged was with Fūnī, who is now gone. She leaves Mikazuki Villa quietly while the girls are out preparing a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day the girls wait with a cake, but Shizuku does not return. Yachiyo concludes she will not come back. Shizuku returns to her anonymous employer for another job, stating that the &amp;quot;picture&amp;quot; at the villa was complete with five people and she must continue her search alone. She acknowledges her actions may cause a disaster but feels unprepared to take responsibility, still walking on unstable ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, during this time, after joining the Wings of the Magius, Mami, now residing in a house provided by Touka, grapples with a fractured psyche, manifesting as a dialogue between her regular self and a zealous &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona. She dedicates herself completely to the Magius&#039; goal of &amp;quot;releasing&amp;quot; Magical Girls, prioritizing it over her education. Touka and Alina visit to tutor her, though their lessons quickly diverge into their own passionate interests in mathematics and art, respectively.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka and Alina receive a call for assistance from the Amane sisters. Mami joins Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane to hunt a Witch. During the mission, the Amane sisters explain that the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict with Magical Girls who are unaware of the truth about Witches. Mami defeats the Witch using her Doppel, &amp;quot;Florence,&amp;quot; whom she relies on to suppress her lingering doubts about the Magius&#039; methods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the hunt, Touka summons Mami to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward to deal with &amp;quot;troublesome&amp;quot; Magical Girls who escaped a Rumor. Mami fails to capture them, which triggers another internal crisis. Her &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona reaffirms her faith in the Magius as the only salvation for Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami dines at an upscale restaurant with Mifuyu, Touka, and Alina. They discuss the day&#039;s events, including the escaped Magical Girls and the failed Witch observation. Touka expresses frustration at their slow progress, while Mifuyu counsels patience.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, Mami returns to Mitakihara alone. She reflects on Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, and feeling responsible for involving them in the world of Magical Girls, she believes she cannot face them with the horrific truth and resolves that the only path is to see the Magius&#039; plan through to completion. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence but dismisses it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Iroha&#039;s Side Story====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia announce a Magical Girl training camp hosted by Asuka Tatsuki. Yachiyo, Sana, and Iroha decline to attend, forming the &amp;quot;vegetarian group,&amp;quot; while Tsuruno and Felicia, the &amp;quot;carnivorous group,&amp;quot; leave for the camp.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That weekend, in Tsuruno and Felicia&#039;s absence, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana find the house quiet and their routines disrupted. At the camp, Tsuruno and Felicia train with Momoko&#039;s team but also find themselves missing the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana prepare a welcome-home hotpot for the two. While shopping, they realize they know their friends&#039; preferences intimately. Tsuruno and Felicia return from the camp early, stating they thought the others would be lonely. The group reunites for dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the battle with Alina Gray and the Rumor of the Anonymous AI, Homura and Madoka decide to leave for Kamihama to search for the missing Mami. Kyubey approaches Homura with a request: he wants her to take him to Kamihama, as Incubators cannot enter alone, and offers all his gathered information in exchange. Knowing what she does about him, Homura refuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Homura, Madoka, and Sayaka return to Kamihama to continue their search. They are almost immediately assaulted by the Witch Candy, which they defeat easily at first before it transforms into its true form and attacks again. When Homura attempts to stop time to save her friends, she finds the Witch is unaffected and her Soul Gem begins filling with impurities. As she succumbs, her Doppel awakens - manifesting after she uses a broken Incubator&#039;s body for knowledge and power - and unleashes its fury on the Witch. Exhausted but alive, Homura finds her Soul Gem purified. Together they finish the Witch, and Madoka suggests they visit the Coordinator Iroha told her about. Determined to become stronger, Homura agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Amane Sisters and Tsuruno====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno dreams of her elementary school self declaring she will restore her family&#039;s greatness and serve ramen at the White House. The dream shifts to her father relaying that her grandfather was happy but wants her to find her own happiness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Tsukuyo Amane|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Tsukuyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes to find a letter from her sister. She opens it excitedly but is shocked by its contents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, inside a Witch&#039;s barrier, the Amane twins confront Tsuruno seeking revenge. Distracted by her sister&#039;s letter, she is easily knocked out, and the twins grow horrified when she does not move.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno dreams of her sister&#039;s letter, which suggests their goal might be a mistake. A shadow version of Tsuruno appears, accusing her of stealing someone else&#039;s dream and lacking the ability to fulfill it. The shadow insists everything she did was meaningless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amanes bring Tsuruno to Mitama for help. Though Tsuruno is their enemy, the twins explain their goal is to save all magical girls. Mitama realizes they need to take Tsuruno outside, pointing to her tainted Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, the shadow urges Tsuruno to give up. Tsuruno refuses, thinking of her friends. She realizes that making them happy is her new goal, not the family business. She finally understands her grandfather meant that saving the business was only a possible result, not a goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes in an alley to find the Amanes, Mitama, and her embarrassing pig Doppel. The twins are relieved she is safe and declare they are even now. Mitama offers free adjustments to all three, and though the twins try to decline, Tsuruno drags them inside. Tsuruno reflects that she reached a different conclusion than her sister. She will keep working hard and make everyone happy. Tsukuyo begs to be let go if that is the case.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary====&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo explains that Mikazuki Villa&#039;s anniversary is the day her grandmother began renting the house out. She suggests having a small party now that the house is lively again. Tsuruno is excited to attend. Iroha calls Tsuruno the face of Mikazuki Villa, though Tsuruno feels she does not deserve the title since she does not live there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in the Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the anniversary day, the girls gather for tea. Yachiyo reveals a dance game contest with a prize: Sankyo Headquarters&#039; limited-quantity chilled matcha cake. Yachiyo chooses super-extreme mode. The contest begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A fire truck siren interrupts the party. It turns out to be a malfunctioning smoke detector. They return to find the matcha cake stolen. Tsuruno and Sana claim they saw Lil&#039; Kyubey eat it. Iroha defends them, saying it was with her the entire time. Yachiyo recalls an Uwasa called the &amp;quot;Anniversary Bug,&amp;quot; an invisible pest that sows discord at parties.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Uwasa appears in a labyrinth. Felicia accidentally kills it by stepping on it. The winner of the dance contest is Iroha. Yachiyo reveals there were actually six pieces of cake—enough for everyone plus one extra for the winner. Iroha gives her extra piece to Lil&#039; Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Iroha and Yachiyo clean up. Yachiyo shares her grandmother&#039;s words: people will always come and go, but they are all part of Mikazuki Villa. Iroha promises to work hard so Yachiyo can say the current Mikazuki Villa is the best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Summer with Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* After arriving at the hostel, the Mikazuki Villa members meet Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, who secretly followed because Rena wanted to join the trip. The group spends the day playing at the beach, where Tsuruno and Felicia dominate a game of beach flags, and Sana tearfully confides in Iroha that this is her first holiday ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer With Mikazuki Villa|Summer With Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the group participates in a spicy food eating contest at a seaside restaurant, where Yachiyo surprises everyone by consuming nearly one hundred forty-two bowls of pasta to secure victory for her team against Konoha, Nanaka, and the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, Sana&#039;s late-night sighting of a shadowy figure screaming &amp;quot;Come on go&amp;quot; sparks a beach-wide rumor that eventually draws in Kokoro, Masara, Aimi, Mito, and Reira, only for the mystery to be solved when Seika introduces her Manzai teacher Ayaka, whose gag playing on the phrase&#039;s rhythm reveals the source of the confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fourth day, the Mikazuki Villa girls and Momoko&#039;s trio attempt to teach Iroha how to swim without her float, but their efforts fail repeatedly. Iroha eventually explains that she used to be a swimmer until a traumatic incident: during a rare hospital holiday for her sister Ui, the family visited a pool, and Iroha mistook Ui happily paddling for drowning. In her rush to help, Iroha tripped and nearly drowned herself, leaving her with lasting anxiety about it. Suddenly, Rena begins drowning and cries for help via telepathy. The team rushes to save her, and surprisingly Iroha proves fastest, reaching Rena first and giving her the float while swimming them both to shore. On the way, Rena explains her leg was caught in seaweed, not cramped as she thought. Once Iroha realizes Rena is safe, her sisterly instincts fade and she begins drowning herself, having temporarily overcome her fear only through concern for another. Yachiyo reassures Iroha that the rescue proves she can still swim and encourages her to practice diligently. Iroha looks forward to regaining her ability fully, hoping that by then she and Ui can visit the pool together again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Swimrohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fifth day, Tsuruno leads the team on a surprise treasure hunt, guiding them through a forest with help from Konomi and Mayu to confront the &amp;quot;evil queen&amp;quot; Mitama, who surrenders a map piece that leads them to a cave with a beautiful stream, which was nature&#039;s treasure all along.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the sixth day, the team attends an unorthodox summer festival produced by Emiri, where they meet Rika, repeatedly mispronounce festival icon Ria&#039;s name, and watch Felicia win a mushroom whacking contest before everyone joins in Bon Odori dancing under fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning, the group visits the beach one last time and asks Manaka to take a group photo, with Iroha treasuring these memories with her friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia surprise Iroha with a birthday party, having learned the date from her parents. They give her heartfelt gifts - a cookbook, a photo album, a drawing inspired by the &amp;quot;come on go&amp;quot; search, and a handmade brooch - and Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive with a bouquet and food, moving Iroha to tears of joy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====One Fleeting Summer Night====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane arrive at Touka&#039;s private beach for vacation. After enjoying various activities, Touka offers them a reward if they can think of something fun for her to do. Learning from the housekeeper about a town festival featuring a unique ceremony, the group heads there but finds it canceled because a historic Coral Necklace went missing. The twins offer to help search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story One Fleeting Summer Night|One Fleeting Summer Night]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Investigating the hilltop shrine where the necklace was kept, Nemu concludes someone with a key took it, likely to cancel the festival since the other ceremonial item remains safe. At the ocean shrine cave, the twins sense an unsettling presence and receive a vision of crying twin girls before the shrine door mysteriously opens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the plaza, Tsukasa finds a fragment of a shrine maiden&#039;s hairpin. The elder accuses one of the maidens of stealing the necklace. When confronted, the maiden flees to the hilltop shrine and smashes the necklace rather than return it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the group returns to the cave to see light-reflecting moss. The twins experience another vision of twin girls speaking of not wanting to be left to die. They resolve to investigate further the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The twins visit the village elder and offer to serve as substitute shrine maidens. He reluctantly agrees, and an older villager gives them ornate hair ornaments traditionally given to newborn girls. Nemu reveals the town once sacrificed children to appease a sea god, and those children became the gods honored in the ceremony.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the twins try to explain their visions, the others are skeptical. Before they can prove anything, the elder rushes them to begin the ceremony early. At the hilltop shrine, villagers restrain them and remove their Soul Gem rings. The Magius fight through but cannot reach the twins in time as the elder pushes them off a cliff into the ocean.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sinking and weakening, the twins receive a final vision from the sacrificed twin girls, who speak of wanting their suffering to be seen and their fates changed. The Amanes awaken on the beach to learn a Witch appeared when they fell. After its defeat, all villagers lost consciousness. The Pearl Comb was shattered, making the ceremony impossible to complete.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The exhausted twins relax on the beach, having not slept. Tsukasa wonders if the gifted hair clip saved them. Though saddened that no one will remember the sacrificed girls, the twins resolve to change the fates of all Magical Girls. The elder and shrine maiden apologize, and Touka promises to take them to another of her family&#039;s vacation homes as a reward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Karin encounters Sasara, who offers help. Karin asks her to be the knight. Sasara accepts and suggests someone for the cow. Sasara calls Asuka and Felicia. Felicia accepts the cow role. Asuka refuses. Felicia mentions a demon at her place. The girls agree to meet tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magicalhalloweentheater&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Mifuyu updates Alina on the twins&#039; miraculous reunion. Examining a black card, Alina notices a happy face stamp emanating magic. At Fenthope, she deduces another Rumor is interfering: the Rumor of the Happy Stamp, which appears at Christmastime and overrides the Fur God&#039;s power, causing joy instead. Alina decides to stop using the Fur God Rumor, as it only wastes her energy, and transforms back to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo presents her resolution, &amp;quot;Wishing for good health and safety at home,&amp;quot; admitting it may be cliché but sincerely believing in the fortune of staying healthy and avoiding disaster.

** Sayaka panics upon realizing everyone else has finished, struggling to find a resolution that isn&#039;t solely about being a magical girl.

Unable to confess that truth, she hastily writes &amp;quot;Do my best,&amp;quot; declaring she will work hard in all sorts of ways this year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With everyone finished, they tidy up and Felicia eagerly anticipates the sukiyaki.

Yachiyo suggests displaying them at home for the New Year, and Tsuruno proposes putting up everyone&#039;s resolutions. When Yachiyo worries about the inconvenience for Madoka&#039;s group to retrieve them later, they assure her they plan to visit Kamihama again anyway.

====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano====&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before a science event, a White Feather from the Wings of Magius informs Mitama Yakumo that a higher-up will be visiting and she should complete any necessary business when they arrive.

* The next day, Hinano explains her mishap to her audience, and her assistant Emiri Kisaki steals the punchline by emphasizing the importance of perfect preparation. Afterward, Emiri learns Hinano was attempting to create a height-increasing drug—the same goal that led to a near-fatal accident five years ago and her contract with Kyubey. Emiri makes Hinano promise to stop dangerous experiments, but Hinano immediately breaks this promise and sneaks back to continue her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Emiri rushes an unconscious Hinano to Mitama&#039;s place. Hinano had drunk her experimental drug and collapsed from violent stomach pains.

Emiri reveals her own wish was a spur-of-the-moment desire to be the cutest little devil possible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano&#039;s unresolved feelings cause her Soul Gem to corrupt, and she is suddenly pulled into a barrier.

Hinano hears Emiri&#039;s telepathic voice shouting that she does not want to part with her, giving her strength. She realizes that while she failed to become a mature figure, her approachable appearance helped her meet Emiri and make friends. The shadow asks if she will give up her research, and Hinano declares she will continue with a completely safe version. The barrier vanishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Mitama&#039;s makeshift studio, she admits they are her only customers and shows off a new camera she bought because the advertisement claimed it would make anyone a pro photographer. When she starts taking photos, however, every attempt fails spectacularly, producing bizarre images like Madoka with people jumping from a plane and Homura posing with a lion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Frustrated, Mitama declares she will quit being an adjuster to devote herself to photography, but the girls protest that everyone in Kamihama would be in trouble without her. They reassure her that they trust her, and Tsuruno adds that she would not have become the strongest without Mitama&#039;s help. Mitama relents and agrees to remain an adjuster, though she will continue practicing photography in her free time. Later, a successful group photo of both Iroha and Madoka&#039;s teams is shown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Mitama Yakumo invites a surprising number of magical girls to her place for an event she calls the &amp;quot;Great Mitama Thanksgiving.&amp;quot; When she finally arrives, she reveals that the gathering is actually a quiz tournament about herself, with the winner receiving a free adjustment session and the title of &amp;quot;Mitama&#039;s Perfect Lover.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz begins with multiple choice questions, and wrong answers trigger a trap door beneath the contestant, though cushions soften the fall. The first question asks Mitama&#039;s actual age, and Tsuruno guesses incorrectly, landing her in the trap. The second question asks whether Mitama&#039;s cooking is delicious, and when Felicia and Manaka both guess wrong, Mitama confirms that the correct answer is that her food is indeed delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz continues through several rounds, eliminating more contestants along the way. When the ninth question asks about Mitama&#039;s favorite movie, Ria guesses incorrectly and is eliminated for insulting the film&#039;s actress. Sana is also eliminated when Mitama takes pity on her after she panics over Iroha&#039;s safety, and Mitama confirms that &amp;quot;Pacifistic Hayashi&amp;quot; was the correct answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama admits she has run out of questions but still has many competitors remaining, so she decides to draw lots to pick a winner instead. Momoko asks why Mitama held the event in the first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama remembers a time where she tried using her magic to defeat a familiar on her own, and that even if her services are no longer needed, she can still protect herself. She has obtained the magic to keep living that she never had before, and if she ever had to abandon her neutrality, she could use it to help someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Mitama explains that she held the event because something good happened to her. The other girls sense a Witch and leave to hunt it, and Mitama tells them to draw their lots later. Alone, she wonders who she should use her power on when she eventually decides to stop being neutral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It was only a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, she and Asuka Tatsuki arrive to cheer. Asuka reveals she has been practicing for this day. During the event, Asuka cheers for Ria like it is a sports event. Ria knows she means no harm but feels embarrassed, as if Asuka is ruining the event. She wakes up again. Another dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, just as she is about to go on stage, the power cuts out. Though it quickly returns, the audience&#039;s enthusiasm has diminished. Ria blames herself for being unable to overcome the outage. She wakes up, realizing she has been dreaming about the show every single night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When she learns Asuka has practiced cheering, Ria explains that fashion shows have their own etiquette and promises to send her details later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just before Ria&#039;s turn on stage, the power cuts out for real. Ria decides to make it part of the show. She asks the audience to get out their penlights and turn them all on her when she gives the signal. Her improvisation is a complete success, though she wishes she could have shown her perfect walk. She thinks she is feeling the best feeling in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After breakfast, Felicia shows Sana the park commercial on her phone and admits she still wants to go, so she drags Sana along to catch animals at a riverbank. Meanwhile, Iroha returns Tsuruno&#039;s phone and helps out at her family&#039;s restaurant. At the riverbank, Felicia finds a small turtle, but Ayame Mikuri appears and accuses her of harassment. The two magical girls fight, and Felicia releases the turtle to protect it before running off, leaving Sana behind. Yachiyo finds Sana on her way home and learns what happened, then invites her to lunch. Felicia returns to the house, still angry at Ayame, and takes a nap after lunch. She dreams that the turtle thanks her and promises something at the riverbank, so she wakes and goes out to find it. She returns with a ticket for two to MooMoo Park. The others reveal that Iroha also received a ticket from Tsuruno&#039;s father, and Yachiyo got one at a meat store, so everyone can now go together. The girls happily resolve to visit the park and enjoy their dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* An old lady asks Kanagi Izumi for a deli recommendation, and Kanagi suggests the potato soup and meat skewers, knowing the customer&#039;s daughter loves them. When the lady asks if this is truly Kanagi&#039;s last day, Kanagi confirms it and expresses regret at not seeing her again. At the end of her shift, Kanagi thanks her boss and coworkers, who are sad to see her go, but she needs higher pay to support her family and the grocery store cannot match her new job&#039;s wages.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Newbie Maid Carefree Kanagi|Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of / Newbie Maid Carefree Kanagi]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives home later than usual due to a going-away party, and her father apologizes for not working enough to provide, though Kanagi is happy to help. He worries about her new job being radically different from her previous work, but Kanagi believes it is worth it since the pay means she can quit her second job and have more free time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi starts her new job at a maid café and impresses her coworker by already having a parfait ready. Despite learning the kitchen pace quickly, the hall is understaffed, and when the manager offers to help, Kanagi replies &amp;quot;Yes, sir!&amp;quot; only to be corrected that the manager prefers to be called &amp;quot;madam.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the rush, the head maid wishes for another maid, and the manager asks Kanagi to try working the floor for a raise. Kanagi&#039;s eyes widen at the salary and she accepts, receiving the maid nickname &amp;quot;Maid Nagitan.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid reviews basics with Kanagi, who feels confident due to her customer service background and sees this as a life-or-death matter to earn more for her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika Kumi, Reira Ibuki, and Mito Aino enter, and Kanagi greets them with a serious look and curt &amp;quot;welcome,&amp;quot; leaving them surprised by her cold, soldier-like demeanor. When Mito asks if she is really a maid, Kanagi introduces herself as Maid Nagitan and shakes Mito&#039;s hand firmly, causing Seika to freeze up. Later, when Reira asks if she will do &amp;quot;the thing&amp;quot; of adding love to the food, Kanagi misinterprets and says she cannot profess love to strangers, leaving the girls let down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At another table, a customer also wants &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; but Kanagi declines, saying she is no liar. The head maid intervenes and reminds Kanagi this is a maid café, explaining their job is creating a fun atmosphere. Kanagi returns to the trio&#039;s table and notices Seika staring, misinterpreting it as a staring contest. They stare at each other until Seika faints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid calls Kanagi completely hopeless and explains a maid&#039;s worth comes from tending to others, telling her to return to the kitchen if she cannot take the work seriously. The manager offers a one-week trial period: if Kanagi improves by week&#039;s end, she stays a maid. Kanagi vows to work with every fiber of her being.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Karin Misono finishes reading &amp;quot;Detective Maid Mei&amp;quot; and notices Kanagi slumped on a swing, muttering about what makes a good maid. Karin recognizes her as the boss of the East and, seeing an opportunity for her manga, asks Kanagi to tell her everything. Karin lends her the Detective Maid Mei manga for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Kanagi reads the manga and notes how the maid greets masters warmly, respects their decisions, and lets the master grow when needed. At the end, the maid strikes a pose. Kanagi meets Karin at the park to return the manga and heads to work with Karin tagging along for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the café, two boys enter and Kanagi greets them warmly as masters, surprising them with her &amp;quot;cool but kind&amp;quot; demeanor. The head maid smiles at her improvement. Kanagi serves Karin a Lovely Rice Omelet, and when Karin suggests she draw on it with ketchup, Kanagi tries to draw a kirin but it looks like a weird animal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Two more customers arrive, Aimi Eri and Natsuki Utsuho. Kanagi serves them and offers to draw on their omelets, writing Aimi&#039;s crush&#039;s name with hearts on her plate. As she leaves, Karin motions for her, and Kanagi does the manga pose, telling them to let her take care of any problems. At day&#039;s end, the head maid notes Kanagi&#039;s huge improvement but says it is too early to celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The final test begins, and the manager outlines that Kanagi must please the next returning customer, ensuring the master leaves with a smile. The door jingles as Konomi Haruna enters, distressed to find herself in a maid café. Kanagi greets her warmly and shows her to a seat despite the manager&#039;s concern.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi orders the Maid&#039;s Special Herbal Blend after Kanagi&#039;s recommendation, but when Kanagi offers to play a game then arm wrestle, Konomi panics, drinks quickly, pays, and leaves. The manager agrees that Kanagi should return to the kitchen as promised. Kanagi walks home alone, bothered by something beyond the wage cut.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi is back in the kitchen, and the kitchen staff is delighted. At day&#039;s end, the head maid tells her the staff appreciated her return, and Kanagi wonders why no one said they were glad when she worked as a maid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager notices her expression and encourages her to think until she is satisfied with the answer. Kanagi decides to find Konomi and ask what she lacked, recalling her school uniform.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi enters Konomi&#039;s flower shop, and Konomi is shocked. Kanagi asks what she lacked as a maid, but Konomi apologizes for assuming Kanagi was scary due to East-West history. She explains she entered by mistake, but Kanagi was considerate, made a helpful suggestion, and offered to ease her anxiety. It felt like Kanagi was doing it just for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi realizes that is what she was lacking: taking into account what the other person wants and responding to it. At the park, Kanagi reflects that customers come to enjoy the atmosphere and it is her job to consider whether it is worthwhile for them. She berates herself for making masters uncomfortable. Karin finds her and insists she should keep being a maid, offering to talk to the manager. Kanagi smiles and asks for a different favor instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi approaches the manager for a second chance, proposing she serve the same three customers who left when Seika fainted. The manager agrees to let her try. Karin finds Reira and Seika at a park and extends an invitation for them to return so Nagitan can make it up to them. Reira agrees, and Karin hands them invitations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio enters the café with Seika frozen, and Kanagi greets them warmly and shows them to their table. Kanagi serves their omelets, and when Mito asks if they were made with love, Kanagi admits she could not be dishonest but offers to draw with ketchup instead. She gives Mito the bottle to draw while Kanagi draws on Mito&#039;s plate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They play rock-paper-scissors, and Reira explains Seika is very shy and fainted because she had to make eye contact with someone new. Seika&#039;s class is doing a maid café for the school festival and she wanted to do her best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika admits she thought Kanagi was so confident she lost her own confidence. Kanagi points to the head maid as the ideal and explains she herself could never be like that, so she tries her best in her own way, encouraging Seika to find her own style. Seika smiles and asks for a picture. Kanagi agrees if her face is hidden, and before they leave, she does her signature pose and tells Seika to remember it when nervous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager calls Kanagi over and offers her the maid position, noting she learned something important. Kanagi says she wants to keep being a maid, not just for the paycheck, but to use what she learned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day at the café, Kanagi serves drinks and poses for pictures with a face mask, her fans cheering. Karin calls for her to do &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; and the café erupts yelling &amp;quot;Nagitan!&amp;quot; Karin and Kanagi walk home, and when Kanagi asks about her manga, Karin realizes she never drew it. Kanagi offers to help, but when Karin asks if she will do the pose, Kanagi reminds her she is off the clock. Karin looks down sadly as Kanagi returns to being serious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia====&lt;br /&gt;
* During the day, Felicia eats Tsuruno&#039;s ice candy without realizing it was hers because she cannot read kanji. Tsuruno reprimands Yachiyo when she learns Yachiyo knew and was preparing to buy a replacement. Yachiyo states it is impossible to guard the fridge constantly. Felicia, overwhelmed with guilt and anger that no one listens to her confession, loses control and flips the kitchen table before locking herself in her room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Felicia has a nightmare. She dreams her falling grades caused a huge argument between her parents, who blamed each other for neglecting her. Both ignore her confession and promise to try harder. Her mother storms back to the kitchen to cook. Felicia recalls that a Witch attacked immediately after, killing her parents, and she wakes up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She goes to the kitchen for water, but Iroha is there and points out she looks pale. Iroha tells her to rest and offers to bring water to her room. Felicia loses her temper and storms out of the house. Iroha wakes the others to find her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Felicia hears a voice claiming to be her. The voice pulls her into a barrier, where another Felicia lures her toward a locked box, revealing itself as her Doppel. Felicia nearly opens the box but remembers Yachiyo&#039;s words about some things being best left unknown. Her instincts tell her she is not ready.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She promises her Doppel she will return when she is stronger and hopes it can hold the truth for her. The Doppel accepts and returns to normal. Felicia wakes up at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo inform her they found her unconscious in the park. Felicia tells them about the encounter and her desire to become strong enough to fulfill her promise. Mitama offers a free power-up session to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha recalls they found Felicia releasing her Doppel in the park before losing consciousness. Yachiyo notes this has never happened before. She remembers that Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane once said Doppels are materialized emotions. Yachiyo concludes Felicia carries a heavy burden and tells Iroha to keep this secret until Felicia either realizes it herself or becomes strong enough to handle the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Monogatari Series Collab====&lt;br /&gt;
* Shinobu Oshino, Yotsugi Ononoki, and Mayoi Hachikuji hunt a Witch together. Shinobu begins her dramatic introduction and finishing move, but Yotsugi defeats the Witch with a simple &amp;quot;Hyah&amp;quot; and Mayoi lands the final blow with &amp;quot;Yah.&amp;quot; Shinobu is annoyed at their failure to call out special moves. Shinobu argues that calling out attacks is the essence of being a Magical Girl, but Yotsugi dismisses this as an outdated trope. Shinobu retorts that refusing to act the part is dumb, and Yotsugi reluctantly agrees. Shinobu declares they need training to act more befitting of Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Shinobu&#039;s Heartphial Story: Shinobu Spells]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shinobu demonstrates by striking a pose and delivering her lines with perfect timing. When Yotsugi tries, her performance is terrible. Shinobu forces her to try again, and Yotsugi reluctantly says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; but finds it unpleasant and refuses to repeat it. Mayoi asks Shinobu to help her come up with lines. After a few stumbles, she declares, &amp;quot;I, Mayoi Hachikuji, hereby condemn those Witches who seek to ravage this earth!&amp;quot; Shinobu finds it charming, and Mayoi admits leaning into the Magical Girl thing is fun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They enter a real Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Mayoi messes up her line again but turns it into an improvised bit while evading attacks. Yotsugi delivers a longer speech and says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; landing the attack. Shinobu finishes the Witch with her full finishing move. After the battle, morning comes. Shinobu declares the training will continue, but Yotsugi walks away. Mayoi distracts Shinobu by suggesting breakfast, and Shinobu wants donuts. Yachiyo, out for an early walk, overhears them and decides she wants donuts too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa and helps Yachiyo prepare breakfast. Sana joins them, but when she goes to wake Felicia, she finds Felicia’s room empty and her shoes gone; Felicia’s phone is also out of service. Worried, Yachiyo calls Tsuruno for help, and the group splits up to search the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Monogatari Series Collab Part I: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the search, Iroha’s Soul Gem reacts to a nearby Witch. Inside the labyrinth, they encounter two unfamiliar magical girls who are already fighting the Witch: Mayoi Hachikuji and Shinobu Oshino. After the Witch is defeated, introductions are exchanged. Mayoi and Shinobu explain they are traveling and looking for a lost friend named Yotsugi Ononoki, who has bluish‑green pigtails, a peculiar hat with eyes, and a frilly dress. The two groups exchange phone numbers to help each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Felicia has in fact met Yotsugi. Yotsugi buys her ice cream, and Felicia learns Yotsugi is also traveling. Felicia offers to show Yotsugi around town as thanks, taking her to the shopping street, a spot with cats, and a bench good for naps. Yotsugi finds everything unfamiliar and feels something is off, as if she has buttoned her shirt wrong. She shortens Felicia’s name to “Felly,” which makes Felicia happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha’s group eventually spots Felicia with Yotsugi. When Yachiyo hugs Felicia in relief, Felicia reacts as if she does not know any of them. She remembers Yachiyo only as a famous magical girl, but has no memory of living at Mikazuki Villa. The group realizes Felicia has lost her memories. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive and reunite with Yotsugi. Felicia refuses to go with Iroha’s group, accusing them of being kidnappers. Yotsugi offers a third option: Felicia can join their traveling team. Mayoi warns Felicia that if she chooses to leave with them, she will never return to the home that might be waiting for her. Felicia becomes confused and cries. Iroha proposes they all have dinner together at Mikazuki Villa first, so Felicia can calm down and decide later and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, Felicia asks Yotsugi what she likes to eat. Yotsugi admits a preference for expensive cup ice cream. Felicia awkwardly asks if Yotsugi&#039;s face is always stuck like that, and Yotsugi confirms it is. After arriving, Felicia eagerly tries to get Yotsugi to play video games, serves her extra portions of food, and challenges her to a pillow fight. Yotsugi excuses herself to take a bath, leaving Felicia disappointed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yotsugi Ononoki#Side Story|Yotsugi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Yotsugi Sister]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Felicia apologizes for being clingy, explaining that Yachiyo and the others pulled her aside to warn her. Felicia confesses she had been trying to make Yotsugi smile, assuming she had lost her parents like Felicia did. Yotsugi clarifies that her emotions simply do not show on her face, but she does feel them. She admits playing the game was fun and the food was not bad. Felicia is overjoyed and runs off to brag to everyone. Shinobu and Mayoi, who had been eavesdropping, tease Yotsugi for finding Felicia cute. Yotsugi concedes that Felicia is exhausting, but seeing her face light up from a drop of attention is not unpleasant. She gains newfound respect for all older sisters in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the villa, Shinobu requests doughnuts for dessert, and the group plays games. Yotsugi helps in the kitchen and notices the chicken meat has a nice springy firmness. During dinner, the group shares memories of how they met Felicia. Felicia still does not remember, but Shinobu points out the stories are too detailed to be lies. Tsuruno suddenly does not remember buying coasters, revealing she may also have amnesia. Yotsugi then shifts the discussion: she reminds Shinobu that she walked in sunlight all day without harm, which should be impossible because Shinobu is actually a vampire. Shinobu’s memories return, and she declares herself the iron‑blooded, hot‑blooded, cold‑blooded vampire king of oddities. Mayoi also gets a headache and remembers she is not human either, and instead she is a snail oddity, a ghost. Yotsugi explains that she has felt uneasy calling herself a magical girl; she suspects this world is not the one she came from, as everything feels slightly different, like two paintings of the same image in different styles. She believes Shinobu, Mayoi, and herself came from another world. They conclude that a Witch may be behind the memory loss and false memories, and decide to hunt Witches the next day. Everyone stays the night at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mayoi plays Old Maid with Tsuruno, Felicia, Yotsugi, and Shinobu. Mayoi wins, but Yotsugi and Shinobu notice she seemed absent-minded. Mayoi asks Yachiyo if she can help with dinner, admitting she always wished she could cook with her mom. Yachiyo agrees and Mayoi joins Iroha and Sana in making dumplings, proving to be a natural. Yotsugi and Shinobu try but fail miserably. Mayoi boasts and declares herself the rightful leader of the little girls, sparking a three-way argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Mayoi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Mayoi Home]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno suggests playing a game to decide the leader, and Felicia wants to join. Shinobu insists Iroha must also participate. They play a life simulation board game. Mayoi starts strong but ends up broke and stranded in the Amazon. Iroha wins, and Mayoi declares her the official leader of the little girls, much to Iroha&#039;s confusion. Mayoi feels this has been the most fun she has had in a while, yet she cannot shake an uneasy feeling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After everyone decides to stay over, Yachiyo announces bath time. Mayoi suddenly bolts out of the house, claiming she will take a walk. Iroha chases after her and finds her safe. Mayoi apologizes and explains that the family moment overwhelmed her heart, so she left to do something familiar to settle herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi revisits her wish: after her parents&#039; divorce, she wished to go home. Being at Mikazuki Villa makes her feel like her wish has finally come true, yet she senses it is not the home she truly wants to return to. She remembers she is a ghost and wonders where exactly it is she wants to go back to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After they lay out futons in the living room, Shinobu reveals she is actually over 500 years old, and Mayoi was in fifth grade when she died, now mentally 21. Yotsugi still does not remember what she is. Felicia cannot sleep and goes outside. She sees a Witch appear suddenly, feels her head go foggy, and collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha again helps with breakfast. She feels a strange déjà vu, as if the same conversation has happened before. Sana again reports Felicia is missing. The group searches the town and again encounters Mayoi and Shinobu fighting a Witch. The same exchanges occur, but Iroha’s déjà vu grows stronger.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When they finally find Felicia, she is with Yotsugi and is annoyed that they took so long to show up. Yotsugi addresses Iroha by name without being introduced. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive. Iroha blurts out that everything feels like it has happened before. Yotsugi then explains: this is the second time they have met like this. Everyone suddenly remembers the previous day’s events of the dinner, the revelations about vampires and ghosts, and the time reset. Yotsugi says she felt the air warp after falling asleep, and when she woke up, she was back where she had been before meeting Felicia. Felicia recalls that before the reset, she saw a Witch outside Mikazuki Villa that made her dizzy and erased her memories. The group deduces that Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they discuss how to fight the Witch, Felicia’s stomach growls. They decide to return to the villa for dinner again, saving the battle for the next day. On the way, they stop at a supermarket for a snack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While walking home, a Witch suddenly appears and pulls Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi into a labyrinth. Felicia recognizes it as the same Witch from the reset. The Witch ignores both Iroha and Felicia, focusing all its attacks on Yotsugi. It dodges Felicia’s hammer and lands a clean hit, cutting Yotsugi’s body into pieces. Iroha and Felicia are horrified. As the Witch prepares to strike again, Yotsugi’s voice tells them to keep pretending to be sad. She instructs them to retreat and gather the pieces of her body. They do so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside the labyrinth, Yotsugi puts herself back together as if nothing happened. She reveals that when she took the hit, she regained her true memories. Back at Mikazuki Villa, she explains to everyone: she is a hundred‑year‑old tsukumogami made from a human body, both a doll oddity and a corpse oddity. She has no heart and has always been dead. This is why the Witch’s power of suggestion, which works by influencing emotions, does not affect her as much. She also notes that the Witch let them escape because it was angry at Yotsugi for helping everyone remember the first loop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yotsugi attacks Shinobu. Shinobu blocks the strike. When asked why, Yotsugi coldly says, “Would you mind dying for me real quick?”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt; Yotsugi’s sudden attack on Shinobu was not betrayal but a calculated shock: she remembered that when the Witch cut her into pieces, the trauma restored her own original memories. She reasons that a sufficiently strong physical blow can break through the memory manipulation. Shinobu’s severed leg instantly regenerates as her vampiric powers return, proving the method works. Without warning, Yotsugi then punches Mayoi, knocking her unconscious. When Mayoi wakes, her memories also return, which is triggered by the keyword “lost.” Mayoi explains that their false magical girl powers and wishes were implanted by the Witch, and that they are not inhabitants of this world. She then proposes a new theory: the Kamihama girls did not lose their memories; rather, they come from different points in their own timeline and simply haven’t experienced the shared past yet. Felicia is devastated, fearing she will never have a family again, but Iroha and the others reassure her that in every timeline they will end up together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Monogatari Series Collab Part II: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, after everyone has gone to sleep, Shinobu summons Yotsugi and Mayoi outside. She admits she does not fully trust Iroha’s group, as they could be the Witch’s minions or mere plot devices. She reveals there may be another way to return to their original world, but she does not elaborate immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group splits up to hunt the elusive Witch. They repeatedly enter labyrinths of other Witches, wasting time. Felicia grows increasingly frustrated, nearly charging into unrelated fights. Yachiyo observes that the Witch seems to want them to fight, so any peaceful, fun activity risks a reset, which is why the first reset happened after their happy dinner and games. She concludes that the Witch is like a director forcing them to act out a “magical girls fighting” plot. Iroha suggests they deliberately provoke the Witch by acting against that plot, hoping to lure it out. However, Yotsugi warns that straying too far might trigger another reset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo formally presents her three‑point theory: (1) The Witch did not pursue them when they fled, (2) it never removed their magical girl powers, and (3) the resets happen when they relax instead of fight. Everyone agrees the plan is to provoke the Witch into appearing. Shinobu then insists on going sightseeing the next day, arguing that one more reset will weaken the Witch’s power further. Despite concerns about resetting again, Tsuruno enthusiastically supports the idea, and the group reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group spends the morning and afternoon touring Kamihama: the radio tower, the school (which they sneak into), an arcade where Yotsugi plays rhythm games with a completely blank expression, and the shopping mall where Shinobu demands to find a donut shop. Tsuruno saves the family restaurant, Banbanzai, for last. As they approach, Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi sense the Witch charging straight at them. The familiar dizziness overcomes everyone, and the world resets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Several hours after the reset, Yotsugi again restores everyone’s memories, as her immunity to the Witch’s suggestion means she still remembers everything. The group notes that more people felt déjà vu this time, suggesting the Witch is weakening. That night, Shinobu privately tells Yotsugi and Mayoi her true alternative plan: she will kill the Kamihama magical girls and consume their power, believing that enough strength will allow her to tear open a gate back to their world. Yotsugi and Mayoi agree to help, though Mayoi is conflicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the town feels eerily deserted. The Witch’s labyrinth is sparse, with only familiars. Following Shinobu’s earlier secret instruction, the group begins shouting insults at the Witch to provoke it. Suddenly, Shinobu strikes Felicia from behind, seemingly killing her. Yachiyo and Tsuruno are horrified. Shinobu, Yotsugi, and Mayoi reveal their betrayal: they intend to slaughter everyone to gain power for a gate home. A brutal fight erupts. Mayoi uses her ability to redirect Yachiyo’s spear attack, causing it to hit Iroha and Sana, who also fall. Tsuruno is overwhelmed, and Yachiyo is mortally wounded. Shinobu stands alone, gloating, but then the “dead” girls suddenly rise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** It was all an act. The group had secretly planned this staged betrayal during the previous night, communicating via handwritten notes to avoid the Witch overhearing. Sana, who makes picture books, wrote the script. The plan had multiple layers: first, they deliberately triggered a second reset by going sightseeing to weaken the Witch; second, they staged a believable in‑fighting scenario to lure the Witch out, because if all the “actors” disappear, the Witch’s story cannot continue. The Witch falls for the trap and appears, enraged by the deception. A full‑scale battle begins. The group coordinates: Iroha and Sana herd familiars for Yotsugi’s “Unlimited Rulebook”; Yachiyo, Shinobu, and Iroha immobilize the Witch; Tsuruno guides Mayoi’s errant drill attack with her flames, piercing the Witch’s front camera. When that does not destroy the labyrinth, Yachiyo and Shinobu realize the front camera was a decoy: the true weak spot is the film at the back. Felicia, launched by Yotsugi like a bullet, smashes the drill deeper, and Yachiyo and Shinobu destroy the film. The labyrinth dissolves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the world fades to mist, Felicia breaks down crying. She does not want this world to end because at Mikazuki Villa she finally felt like she had a family again, and she fears returning to her own timeline where she will be alone. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Sana hug her, promising that no matter the world or timeline, they will surely live together again. Shinobu, Mayoi, and Yotsugi share an awkward, brief hug, concluding they are not the hugging type. Everyone exchanges farewells. Yotsugi tells Felicia, “I’m glad I met you, Felly.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa, yawning. Felicia teases her for sleeping late. Iroha recalls a long, strange dream, both fun and bittersweet, but the details fade upon waking. She only remembers that it was something really special. The day begins again, as if the adventure had never happened, except for the faint warmth left behind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede dreams of a garden where Momoko and Rena help her harvest fantastical vegetables. When she asks about the cream puff tree, Momoko shows her a basket full. The peace breaks when an apartment complex finishes construction behind them, destroying the garden. Kaede remembers this moment: her father announced a new building would block their sunlight, her mother worried they would lose their garden, and in despair, Kaede wished to stop the construction entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The dream shatters and a shadowy version of Kaede appears, accusing her of always running from difficulty. It reminds her she made her wish without considering the people who would have lived in that building, that she ran from Rena rather than face rejection, that she holds back in marathons and skips hard problems. The shadow urges her to keep running until she finds where she belongs and offers its hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kaede admits everything is true: she is weak and useless. But she insists she wants to stay with Momoko and Rena, the friends who matter to her. She asks her shadow to help her become better little by little. The shadow agrees, promising to watch from the garden of her heart. Kaede wakes at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains Kaede blacked out during a Witch battle. Kaede remembers hesitating to transform, a Familiar catching her off guard, and Rena crying out. When another Familiar attacked Rena, Kaede recalled a time Momoko was hurt because of her mistake. Believing herself useless, her Soul Gem turned pitch black. Now awake and purified, she chooses not to run. She asks to join Momoko and Rena, who went ahead to hunt the Witch. Mitama sends her off, confident she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holiday Nyaprise!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede asks Mikazuki Villa to watch a lost kitten while her family is away. After Felicia threatens to withhold bedtime hot cocoa, Yachiyo relents and Sana names the cat Gorojirou, or Sir Purrs-a-little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Holiday Nyaprise!|Holiday Nyaprise!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno visits daily to play, and when Gorojirou needs the restroom, Sana rushes it to the litter box just as Yachiyo calls them for lunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia chases the cat until Sana gives her a toy to lure it instead, and they eventually nap together on the couch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou has grown close to everyone, and Iroha tries taking its picture but accidentally films herself instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha shops, Sana watches the cat and Yachiyo admits she avoided getting attached because Gorojirou is temporary, but resolves to make its stay pleasant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou chews Felicia&#039;s favorite sticker, and though Felicia is angry, Sana reminds her the cat leaves tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede returns for Gorojirou, and everyone says a tearful goodbye. As they leave, the cat meows at Sana, who cries happily saying goodbye to her new best friend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Clash!====&lt;br /&gt;
* A Mirror copy of Shizuku opens a portal and steps through into a city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Magia Clash! ~Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Detonation~|Magia Clash! ~Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Detonation~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama organizes a magical girl team competition inside the Mirrors labyrinth. Kaede and Iroha greet Nanoha, hoping to talk with her, but Kaede is called away when her match begins. Iroha stays behind and watches with Nanoha instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanoha Takamachi#Side Story|Nanoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hayate, Nanoha, and Fate mistake a Mirror copy&#039;s portal for the warp gate to their tournament and are pulled through before Lindy can stop them. Mitama registers the confused but excited trio for the &amp;quot;First Ultimate Magical Girls Team Battle Mirrors Cup,&amp;quot; and they head to the Standby Zone after learning about the Mirror barrier. Meanwhile, Rena, Momoko, and Kaede struggle against unusually strong Familiars, and when Rena twists her ankle, the Nanoha trio steps in to save them. The groups introduce themselves, with the trio explaining they are from Uminary City while concealing their connection to the Administrative Bureau, and Rena warns them about dangerous Mirror copies that lurk deeper in the barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they observe Team Momoko&#039;s match, Nanoha comments on the fighting styles she sees and notes the variety of magic on display. She explains she was taught magic from an early age and is surprised to learn Iroha and the others gained their powers by making wishes to Kyubey. Iroha describes Kyubey as a white stuffed animal, which reminds Nanoha of her own first teacher, Yuuno. Nanoha shares that she discovered magic in third grade when she heard Yuuno calling for help, and since then she has honed her abilities alongside Fate and Hayate to protect others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks about Nanoha&#039;s device, Raising Heart, and how it can transform. Nanoha explains the device taught her magic step by step and once posed an important question to her: what is the most important thing in a fight? Iroha guesses it is the will to win, but before Nanoha can reveal the true answer, Fate and Hayate return from exploring. Fate requests a sparring match, and Iroha asks to watch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo joins Iroha to observe the fight between Nanoha and Fate. The two exchange blows at maximum speed, with Fate using close-range attacks while Nanoha fights from a distance. The match ends in a tie after a final, explosive clash. Before leaving for a break, Nanoha turns to Iroha and reveals the true answer to Raising Heart&#039;s question: wisdom and tactics. Iroha agrees, especially after witnessing their battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Natsuki is fretting over a lost wallet at the Promise Altar, and Ria offers to help her search since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway. Natsuki apologizes for the trouble, but Ria insists she doesn&#039;t mind and even offers to lend her money. Natsuki refuses the loan but admits she needs money for train fare home. She reluctantly agrees to borrow just enough for the trip and promises to pay Ria back later. Ria asks if Natsuki is sure she doesn&#039;t want to file a report, but Natsuki believes the wallet is simply lost rather than stolen and wants to keep searching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hayate Yagami#Side Story|Hayate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria suggests they retrace Natsuki&#039;s steps and asks where she&#039;s been. Natsuki lists the Promise Altar, the station, the shopping district, and an izakaya where she ate with friends. Ria questions why she went to an izakaya alone, and Natsuki clarifies she was with coworkers. Ria finds it odd that Natsuki was drinking with coworkers and then came to the shrine alone afterwards. Natsuki admits it&#039;s a long story involving a former coworker&#039;s engagement announcement that left her feeling restless. She came to the shrine to think but realized she didn&#039;t have enough money to get home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they search, they run into Masara and Kokoro. Masara bluntly tells Natsuki she probably won&#039;t find it and suggests getting a new student ID. Kokoro gently scolds her for being insensitive and offers to help search. Ria mentions they&#039;ve already looked around the shrine, so Kokoro suggests they expand the search area.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group heads to the shopping district, where they encounter Kanoko. She offers to help search as well, and they all continue looking together. Eventually, Ria asks Natsuki to retrace her exact steps from when she left the izakaya. Natsuki recalls walking to the station, realizing she didn&#039;t want to go home yet, and coming to the shrine. Ria points out that she would have needed her wallet to pay the izakaya bill, so she definitely had it after leaving. Natsuki confirms this and remembers using her train pass at the station before changing her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria concludes the wallet must be somewhere between the station turnstiles and the shrine, but they&#039;ve already searched that route thoroughly. Kanoko suggests Natsuki might have dropped it somewhere else without realizing, like when she pulled out her phone. Natsuki&#039;s eyes light up, and she admits she did take out her phone at the station to check something. She just can&#039;t remember what she did with her wallet after that. Ria proposes they split up to cover more ground, and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Natsuki returns home defeated and exhausted. Her father calls out to her, and when she enters the living room, she finds her wallet sitting on the table. Her mother found it in the shopping district and a kind stranger turned it in. Natsuki&#039;s relief quickly turns to panic when she remembers she borrowed money from Ria, and now she has no way to contact her. She considers calling Kokoro but realizes she doesn&#039;t have her number either. She decides to go back to the Promise Altar the next day to hopefully find Ria there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Natsuki returns to the Promise Altar and is relieved to spot Ria. She excitedly explains that her wallet was found and immediately tries to repay the loan. Ria accepts the money but notices Natsuki seems troubled about something else. Natsuki admits she&#039;s been thinking about her former coworker&#039;s engagement and how she handled the situation. Ria offers to listen if Natsuki wants to talk, but Natsuki says she&#039;d rather not burden her further. Ria insists it&#039;s no trouble since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki explains that her former coworker Yukari got engaged and announced it at a gathering. Natsuki congratulated her happily, but another coworker named Ootori made some passive-aggressive comments about how Yukari managed to find someone before her. Later, Ootori apologized to Natsuki for her behavior, but Natsuki feels she should have defended Yukari in the moment. She feels guilty for not speaking up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria asks why she feels responsible for defending Yukari. Natsuki admits it&#039;s because Yukari was always kind to her when she first started the job, and she feels she failed to repay that kindness. Ria points out that Natsuki did congratulate Yukari sincerely, and that was probably what mattered most to her in that moment. Natsuki realizes Ria is right and thanks her for the perspective.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just then, Kanagi arrives, and Ria prepares to leave. Before going, she offers Natsuki her contact information so she can reach out if she ever needs to talk again. Natsuki gratefully accepts, and the two part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During a break in the Mirrors tournament, Fate, Nanoha, and Hayate encounter a copy of Fate that proves too powerful for them to handle alone. Felicia, Kako, and Ayame appear to help, and together they defeat the copy. When Felicia asks what they&#039;re doing there, Fate admits they got lost. The Kamihama girls learn the trio is from out of town and younger than them, but they quickly become friends and head back to the standby zone together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Fate T. Harlaown#Side Story|Fate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group somehow gets roped into a dodgeball game, with teams forming spontaneously among the tournament participants. Fate proves to be exceptionally athletic, leading her team through multiple rounds against increasingly competitive opponents. After defeating Momoko&#039;s team, they face a martial arts team featuring Akira, Meiyui, and Asuka, which Fate also wins. Tsuruno, refusing to let age be a barrier, recruits Masara and Natsuki for a final match against Fate&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match comes down to a intense showdown between Fate and Tsuruno, both catching and returning each other&#039;s throws with increasing speed and power. Fate ultimately outmaneuvers Tsuruno by throwing to Nanoha and leaping into the air for the winning strike. Everyone celebrates the friendly tournament and the new friendships formed across different cities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the tournament progresses, Team Nanoha easily advances through early rounds with Fate&#039;s incredible speed, though Momoko notices Hayate and Nanoha have yet to reveal their full power. Elsewhere, Mitama learns that Momoko announced her team would break up if they lost not because Kaede is useless but to show their conviction, though both Kaede and Rena had doubts. The tournament continues until four teams remain, with Team Momoko advancing to the finals through clever strategy and Team Nanoha defeating Team Masara to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match begins with Fate and Rena clashing in a battle of speed that seemingly knocks both out, leaving Nanoha and Hayate to face Momoko and Kaede. Hayate fuses with Reinforce Zwei and unleashes Ragnarok to take out Kaede, then joins Nanoha against Momoko, who withstands Nanoha&#039;s Starlight Breaker as both girls stand exhausted. Before a winner can be decided, Lindy contacts Nanoha with an emergency: a fugitive illegally opened a rift between worlds, and the Mirror copy of Shizuku appears nearby, having used her powers to connect the Mirror labyrinth to Uminary City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The copy stole the tournament&#039;s grand prize, a special orb that exponentially increases magical power, and the girls call off the match to track her down. Team Nanoha and Team Momoko catch the copy, but after they defeat her, copies of Hayate, Fate, and Nanoha appear and swallow the broken orb pieces, gaining immense power. All the Magical Girls unite to take down the powered-up copies, and through combined efforts they finally delete the magical signatures. With the tunnel between worlds about to collapse, Mitama declares both teams winners, and the girls exchange heartfelt goodbyes before the Nanoha trio returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day in Kamihama, Kaede realizes her texts to Hayate no longer go through, Momoko cannot reach Nanoha or Fate, and Rena cannot find Uminary City on any map. Mitama and Shizuku conclude the girls must have come from a different world entirely, since they needed a space tunnel to travel rather than a simple train ride. Though Kaede is sad they may never meet again, Rena is grateful for the friendship they formed, and the three resolve to work hard for a future rematch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Asuka finds herself in a cloud-filled void facing a shadowy version of herself who claims to be the hidden part of Asuka&#039;s heart. The shadow declares Asuka is no longer fit to practice Ryushin-ryu because her blade has been sullied by contracting as a Magical Girl. When Asuka protests, the shadow recounts how Asuka wished for her cousin to become a police officer after his dreams were jeopardized by their uncle&#039;s arrest, arguing that twisting fate with magic was selfish and wrong. The shadow insists that with her heart no longer true, Asuka walks a false path and should abandon her school, urging her to die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her despair, Asuka remembers her father&#039;s words about asking her own heart what is right, like water filling a square bowl. She tells the shadow that perceptions of right and wrong can change with the situation, and though she cannot refute the shadow&#039;s claims, she knows her heart believed her actions were just. Believing words alone cannot reach the shadow, Asuka challenges her to a fight to prove her blade&#039;s strength reflects her sincere heart. The shadow warns that slaying her means slaying herself, but Asuka declares she fears being untrue to herself more than death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their swords clash, and after a long battle, the shadow succumbs to Asuka&#039;s attack and acknowledges her blade was as pure as her heart. The shadow warns she may return in a different form if Asuka&#039;s heart becomes stained again, then vanishes. Asuka awakens near a pond deep in the forest, where she had gone to meditate as part of her training. She remembers the shadow&#039;s promise and considers asking Mitama what it all meant, but feels her father&#039;s words have been engraved in her more deeply now. With her resolve unwavering, she runs back to the dojo, taking a straight path out of the woods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka awakens to find herself in a strange, cloud-filled void. A shadowy copy of herself appears, introducing itself as the part of her she has suppressed deep within her heart. The shadow urges Nanaka to end her pursuit of vengeance, calling it a fruitless endeavor that changes nothing. Nanaka refuses, explaining that the act of revenge itself holds meaning for her, not the result. The shadow questions where vengeance has led her: a life of constant danger in an endless struggle against Witches. Nanaka admits there is nothing to gain from her actions, but her conviction remains unshakable. The shadow then accuses Nanaka of dragging Akira, Kako, and Meiyui into her vengeance, using them to fulfill her goals. Nanaka acknowledges this truth but insists she would never throw their lives away. She believes fate brought them together to fight a common enemy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka recalls the moments before she lost consciousness. Her team had cornered a Witch, but it disappeared and reappeared near a weakened Kako. Nanaka leaped in to shield her, and Akira and Meiyui joined the fight. The shadow suggests Nanaka protected Kako to redeem herself, but Nanaka denies this. The shadow warns it will continue watching from the depths of her heart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka awakens to find her teammates standing over her, relieved she is alive. The Witch is defeated. Nanaka tells Kako not to worry about anything, as they are teammates. Meiyui finds her choice of words unusual, but Akira insists Nanaka see Mitama for a checkup. Kako thanks Nanaka for protecting her. Nanaka smiles, thinking to herself that each of them is their own flower, supporting one another through their shared fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Curry House CoCo ICHIBANYA Collaboration====&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha announces that a cafe Yachiyo frequents has opened a new location near Mikazuki Villa, and the group decides to visit on opening day. They arrive to find it is actually a Curry House CoCo Ichibanya, and Yachiyo passionately explains the menu options as they wait for the store to open.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Curry House CoCo ICHIBANYA Collaboration|Curry House CoCo ICHIBANYA Collaboration / Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the store opens early, the employee announces they cannot open today due to a missing delivery truck carrying ingredients. The employee breaks down in tears, explaining her family came to see her first store opening. The group notices magical energy emanating from the store and decides to help find the truck, promising to return for curry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They investigate at the last store the truck visited. The employee there confirms the truck is missing but provides spare ingredients and explains that stores support each other in times of trouble. The group splits into two teams: one to gather ingredients from other stores, and one to trace the truck&#039;s route. During coordination, they learn a second CoCoIchi truck has also gone missing on the same road.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While gathering ingredients, Tsuruno&#039;s group encounters a lost, hungry girl who flees upon hearing CoCoIchi and nearly crashes into Sana. Afterward, Sana realizes the employee at the new store could see her despite her invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s group follows the road where both trucks disappeared and finds a Witch&#039;s barrier. Inside, they find both trucks and their drivers. Iroha and Ui engage the Witch&#039;s familiars while Yachiyo secures the drivers. Iroha realizes the Witch is targeting the cargo, so she throws curry ingredients at it, causing the Witch to abandon the fight and allowing them to defeat it easily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno calls with urgent news that the store employee is a Magical Girl, her missing little sister is also a Magical Girl, and she has not been able to contact her since yesterday. The group fears the curry-loving Witch they just defeated was the sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the new store, where the employee is preparing their reward curry. Before Iroha can confess, a girl rushes in calling for her sister. It is the employee&#039;s little sister, alive and well. The group realizes the Witch was simply a curry-loving Witch unrelated to the sister. They finally sit down to enjoy the promised curry together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui====&lt;br /&gt;
* Meiyui&#039;s family is helping organize a local event when a stranger stabs one of their members and flees, dropping a badge. Meiyui chooses to tend to the victim rather than give chase, despite his protests that she is being too soft.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many in the organization want revenge, but Meiyui refuses, not wanting to return to their old ways as an evil organization. The members are reluctant to involve the police due to being falsely accused of murder three years prior. Meiyui had contracted with Kyubey back then to expose the truth with her wish, but lingering distrust remains.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui goes alone to track the culprit. The dropped badge leads her to an abandoned company tied to illegal labor her family had helped shut down. After defeating a stray Witch, she is ambushed and kidnapped by a man with a taser.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She wakes handcuffed alongside about ten others. The kidnappers reveal the badge was a trap to lure her. They include a former police officer who had fabricated evidence against her family and associates of the real murderer from that case, all blaming the Blue Seas for ruining their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her Soul Gem is heavily tainted from the Witch fight, and she begins hearing her Doppel&#039;s voice. In a cloudy void, her shadow self insists she should have killed these enemies when she had the chance, arguing her organization cannot survive without dirtying their hands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Meiyui struggles to stay conscious, she uses her last energy to beg the culprits to leave her family alone, insisting they are not a bad group. The stabber dismisses her pleas and suggests killing her as a warning instead. Her Doppel mocks her, saying evil people will always exist no matter how sincerely she tries to live righteously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, her organization members arrive to rescue her. The stabbed victim is among them, now grateful Meiyui had stayed to help him instead of chasing revenge. He admits he used to believe abandoning burdens was the way of the world, but facing death alone showed him he was wrong. He is alive because of Meiyui&#039;s strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hearing this, Meiyui&#039;s mind clears. In the void, her Doppel asks if she is ready to kill them, but Meiyui rejects violence entirely. The Doppel submits, allowing her to put everyone in the area to sleep without bloodshed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The police soon arrive after the kidnapper, persuaded by Meiyui, confesses over the phone. They find several family members asleep everywhere and note a look of complete relief on Meiyui&#039;s sleeping face.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Little Bird&#039;s Star====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe and other Black Feathers are in Fendt Hope, commiserating about their weakness. A White Feather had to bail them out after they were followed by a Witch while delivering a parcel from Mitama&#039;s shop. They discuss Yachiyo Nanami, a veteran Magical Girl who destroys Uwasas.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu and Nemu emerge from a room arguing. Nemu dismisses Mifuyu and approaches the Black Feathers with a request. She asks them to investigate the &amp;quot;Uwasa of the Jealous Coward,&amp;quot; also called the &amp;quot;Green-Eyed Coward.&amp;quot; Kuroe hesitates but agrees when Nemu insists she has the aptitude.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group investigates an area with many students but cannot find the Uwasa. The other Black Feathers leave for personal commitments. Kuroe stays, feeling she has nothing to return to. The Uwasa manifests when Kuroe expresses envy toward the other girls&#039; normal lives. Two Black Feathers are knocked unconscious. Nemu is satisfied with the results and tasks Kuroe with investigating more Uwasas starting tomorrow. Kuroe protests but Nemu leaves before she can refuse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Memoria 1743.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The Amane twins, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo, meet Kuroe at Fendt Hope and they begin investigating Uwasas in Sakae Ward but find nothing. They move to Hokuyo Ward. Kuroe notices a missing cat poster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They sense Yachiyo&#039;s group nearby and flee. Yachiyo and Iroha corner Kuroe. The twins escape. Yachiyo interrogates Kuroe. An Uwasa resembling Kuroe appears and attacks, then disappears. Yachiyo accuses Kuroe of controlling it. Kuroe insists she had no knowledge of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo decides to take Kuroe camping to monitor her. At the campground, the Amane twins briefly contact Kuroe and say they will consult Nemu, so Kuroe resolves to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe helps Iroha gather firewood. Iroha is scared by a caterpillar and Kuroe removes it. Kuroe introduces herself by name. She helps the group set up their tent and prepare lunch, using skills learned from Wings of Magius training. She reminds herself not to get drawn into their warm atmosphere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mentions a waterfall power spot. Kuroe offers to get water. Iroha accompanies her. They get lost. A woman helps Kuroe find the waterfall and gives her an empty bottle. The woman explains the place is her personal power spot for resetting her mind. Kuroe wishes she had strength to face the future. The Uwasa appears and attacks the woman. Iroha arrives and finds the woman unconscious. Kuroe begs Iroha for help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe carries the unconscious woman back to the campsite. The Amane twins inform her that Nemu says she is possessed by the Uwasa and should stay with Yachiyo&#039;s group. Yachiyo warns that if more casualties occur, she will destroy the Uwasa. Iroha suggests keeping Kuroe for observation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group participates in a stamp rally and Iroha and Kuroe pair up. They discover they are both from Takarazaki. Iroha explains she moved to Kamihama to find her missing sister. Suddenly, a Witch appears and Kuroe and Iroha fight it together. Kuroe acts as a decoy while Iroha defeats the Witch. Kuroe feels inadequate compared to Iroha&#039;s courage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe asks for time alone and she reflects on her fears and envy. The Uwasa appears again, resembling Kuroe. The group fights it and Iroha urges Kuroe to destroy the Uwasa. Kuroe admits she is afraid she cannot be herself, so she and Iroha destroy the Uwasa together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amane twins inform Kuroe they must report the Uwasa&#039;s destruction, yet Kuroe does not regret it. Iroha asks to talk with Kuroe and Yachiyo offers them tea. Kuroe admits she feels safe with the Wings of Magius because they represent hope for her. Iroha accepts this and Kuroe tells Iroha she wants to be like her someday. They part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe finds the missing cat and returns it to its owner, who is overjoyed. Kuroe realizes she saved someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe reports to Nemu and Mifuyu. Nemu reveals the Uwasa summons itself based on dissatisfaction and envy. Nemu admits she expected Yachiyo&#039;s group to handle an accident with the Uwasa. However, Nemu is satisfied that she now has more research on fusing Uwasa with Magical Girls, however Mifuyu warns Nemu not to experiment on the Feathers. Kuroe realizes that even the Magius are imperfect and she reflects on her long day. She resolves to do her best, one step at a time, and hopes to see Iroha again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 7th==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia and Sana decide to buy matching coasters as a gift for Yachiyo, to show their appreciation, and after some searching, they find a suitable set.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 6: The Memories that Speak of the Truth|Chapter 6: The Memories that Speak of the Truth]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 8th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the plan to present the gift is interrupted when Mifuyu Azusa arrives at the villa before Yachiyo returns home. The girls&#039; plan was for Iroha to wait inside while the others came from outside to surprise Yachiyo. Mifuyu prepares tea and reveals one of the two mugs on the top shelf, which Yachiyo forbade Iroha from using, belongs to her. Mifuyu invites Iroha to a lecture hosted by the Wings of the Magius to explain their goal of &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls. The lecture is scheduled for two days later at the Memory Museum and Iroha agrees to investigate the Rumor about the museum first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo returns home and is visibly distressed to find Mifuyu there. Mifuyu leaves, asking Iroha to inform the others about the lecture. Before finally leaving, Mifuyu returns to speak to Yachiyo privately. She references a &amp;quot;promise&amp;quot; they made a year ago, and accuses Yachiyo of returning to her old ways. Yachiyo insists her relationship with Iroha and the others is &amp;quot;just cooperating.&amp;quot; Yachiyo retreats to her room without receiving the coasters. That night, Yachiyo reflects on her past, resolving to return to the person she once was.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 9th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the lecture, Iroha is unable to give Yachiyo the coasters due to Yachiyo&#039;s low spirits. Iroha discusses her plan to attend the Wings of the Magius lecture with Madoka Kaname via text. Iroha then attempts to investigate the Rumor of the Memory Museum. Yachiyo claims no knowledge of it and leaves for school. Iroha and Momoko ask Mitama, who refuses to share information to maintain her neutrality. After the visit, Mitama has a separate conversation with Momoko about Momoko&#039;s own secret, advising her to tell her friends the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede and Rena help Iroha by summoning the creature that recites the Rumor of the Memory Museum, which allows people to view researched memories. Tsuruno&#039;s father provides the location of the similar-sounding &amp;quot;Kamihama Memorial Museum.&amp;quot; That evening, Yachiyo refuses to join the investigation, reiterating that her relationship with the others is strictly professional, which saddens Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Saturday, the 10th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the lecture, Yachiyo again refuses to go to the museum and Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana go to the Kamihama Memorial Museum without her. There, they are greeted by Touka Satomi, who reveals herself as one of the three Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently at Mikazuki, Yachiyo, haunted by memories of past friends, decides she must investigate the Memory Museum herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Touka throne 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka Satomi gives them a lecture titled &amp;quot;The Truth Behind Magical Girls.&amp;quot; She presents three key items through illustrative stories:&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 1: Soul Gems. A story reveals that a Soul Gem is a Magical Girl&#039;s actual soul. Using magic consumes this life force, and if the gem shatters, the Magical Girl dies. Touka uses an analogy of an internal vs. external battery to explain Soul Gems and Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 2: Witches. A second story demonstrates that when a Magical Girl&#039;s Soul Gem becomes fully corrupted, she transforms into a Witch. This revelation traumatizes Felicia, who realizes the Witches she has been killing were once Magical Girls and that she herself is destined to become one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 3: Doppels. A third story explains that in Kamihama City, a fully corrupted Soul Gem can manifest a &amp;quot;Doppel&amp;quot; instead of a Witch. The Wings of the Magius present this as the key to &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls from their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* To prove their claims, Touka and Mifuyu Azusa activate the Memory Museum&#039;s Rumor. Mifuyu presents a book containing her own memories, inviting the group to witness the truth of the lecture firsthand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo arrives at the museum and confronts Touka. She is shown into the memory dimension where Iroha and the others are and Mifuyu activates the Rumor, forcing the group to relive her memories. The memories depict Yachiyo&#039;s former team, Mikazuki Villa:&lt;br /&gt;
** The first memory shows Kanae Yukino sacrificing herself to reveal a Witch&#039;s weakness. Her uninjured body is found next to her shattered Soul Gem, proving the Soul Gem is the Magical Girl&#039;s life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second memory shows Mel Anna using too much magic to protect Yachiyo. With no Grief Seed to purify her fully corrupted Soul Gem, Mel transforms into a Witch before the team&#039;s eyes, confirming Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The third memory shows Mifuyu&#039;s despair six months after Mel&#039;s death, causing her Soul Gem to corrupt fully. Instead of becoming a Witch, she manifests a Doppel. Touka then appears and recruits her into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno is consumed by guilt over Mel&#039;s death, believing her absence that day was the cause. Felicia is horrified, realizing the Witches she killed were Magical Girls and Sana is terrified but feels powerless to change the system. Touka and Mifuyu use this emotional vulnerability to press their recruitment offers to each girl, promising a world where these tragedies are impossible and even suggesting Sana could be freed from her wish of invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo reject the offer to join and Yachiyo compares the Magius&#039; methods to Kyubey&#039;s, accusing them of exploiting weaknesses. Yachiyo then announces she is disbanding their team, which Iroha protests, but Yachiyo insists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka reveals that Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana have been brainwashed and now serve the Wings of the Magius. Alina Gray arrives and traps Iroha and Yachiyo within her Labyrinth and leaves them to face a Witch. As they fight the Witch, Yachiyo reiterates her decision to disband the team and work alone. She reveals her wish was &amp;quot;I want to survive,&amp;quot; and explains that she interprets this as a curse: the power to survive by sacrificing her teammates, based on the last words of her former comrades, Kanae and Mel, who both died while she lived. Yachiyo believes that to protect Iroha, she must sever their partnership.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha rejects Yachiyo&#039;s conclusion. She declares she will defeat the Uwasa alone to prove Yachiyo&#039;s &amp;quot;curse&amp;quot; is not real and that she can protect Yachiyo. Iroha states she is angry that Yachiyo made this decision for everyone and vows to rescue their brainwashed friends. She defeats the Witch and rejects Yachiyo&#039;s belief in a cursed wish and declares herself the new leader to nullify its perceived effect. Yachiyo relents and agrees to work with Iroha to save their friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the same time, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, having detected Mami&#039;s magic while investigating Kamihama, investigate the closed Kamihama Recording Museum. They are attacked by the Wings of the Magius. While Madoka and Homura hold them off, Sayaka proceeds and witnesses Mami, transformed into &amp;quot;Holy Mami,&amp;quot; attacking Iroha and Yachiyo. It is here that Sayaka learns the horrific truth that Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 6: Confrontation with Fate|Another Story Chapter 6: Confrontation with Fate]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, now a brainwashed member of the Wings of the Magius, confronts them. As Iroha and Yachiyo are too injured to fight, Sayaka Miki arrives and intervenes. Sayaka uses a bomb from Homura to create a diversion, allowing the three to escape.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After their escape, Sayaka gives Iroha a Grief Seed. Iroha explains the truth about Witches and the Wings of the Magius to Sayaka, who is horrified. Sayaka leaves to process this information and Iroha and Yachiyo walk home in silence to reflect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After fleeing the museum, Sayaka reunites with Madoka and Homura, defeats their pursuers in a distraught state, and explains what happened to Mami to them, as well as the truth about becoming Witches.The group returns to Mitakihara in silence but Madoka resolves to find a way to avoid their fate and to save Mami. Sayaka agrees to fight back as well and later decides to meet with Kyoko Sakura.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, at Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo reaffirm their commitment to save their friends and Momoko arrives, having told the secret of Magical Girls to Rena and Kaede. Yachiyo also apologizes for her actions and explains her fears about her wish. Momoko forgives her and reaffirms their friendship. Iroha then receives a text from Madoka, who promises to come to Kamihama to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Sayaka meets Kyoko and reveals the truth about Witches. Kyoko deduces this is what the Wings of the Magius meant by &amp;quot;saving&amp;quot; Magical Girls. Kyoko declares she will find a way to avoid becoming a Witch and confront the Wings of the Magius alone, rejecting Sayaka&#039;s offer of help. Despite Sayaka&#039;s protests, Kyoko leaves to operate solo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo has a box containing belongings left behind by her friends Kanae and Mel. She has never opened it. She spends the day staring at it but cannot bring herself to open it. Iroha arrives and asks about the box. Yachiyo explains its contents and admits her hesitation. They remember they need to visit Mitama, so Yachiyo decides to deal with the box later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitairoyachi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s place, the girls offer payment for adjustments. Mitama worries about Yachiyo&#039;s emotional state and suggests she clear up her issues with the box before proceeding. Yachiyo tells her to mind her own business. Mitama offers to adjust both girls together, which is unusual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the adjustment, Yachiyo is confronted by a shadowy doppelganger that represents her fear. The shadow forces her to confront her guilt over Kanae and Mel&#039;s deaths and her fear of the future. Yachiyo admits she is afraid but refuses to give in to despair. She resolves to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The shadow disappears. Iroha appears and stays with Yachiyo. Kanae and Mel appear and bid Yachiyo goodbye, encouraging her to head toward the future. Yachiyo awakens and Mitama reveals she adjusted them together out of concern, for which Yachiyo thanks her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Mikazuki, Yachiyo finally opens the box. Kanae left a book of lyrics. Mel left a fortune telling prophecy about a circle of Magical Girls gathering in Kamihama and a star falling near Yachiyo. Upon reading this, Yachiyo cries. Iroha suggests they head into the future together. Yachiyo agrees, stating they first need to get back Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha resolves to find her lost friends and mentally tells Ui to wait a bit longer. Iroha and Yachiyo finish cleaning their house. Iroha resolves to give the coasters she and the others bought for Yachiyo when everyone is reunited. Iroha says she sent a message to Madoka in Mitakihara City, but hasn&#039;t gotten a response.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 7: The Eve of Awakening to Paradise|Chapter 7: Awakening to Paradise]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Immediately after Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana are taken, Mifuyu reports to Touka and Alina that the brainwashing on the three is holding, so Touka selects Tsuruno for a mission, which Alina states will involve &amp;quot;mass murder.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in her room, Iroha thinks back to when she celebrated Christmas with her friends, but resolves to keep going with her mission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sunday, the 11th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo investigate the Kamihama Rumor Files at Mikazuki Villa. Iroha recognizes some of the Rumors. They meet with Momoko, who mentions Tsuruno&#039;s perfect school attendance record is now broken and that a new amusement park is also opening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo visit Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant and her father reveals Tsuruno and Felicia visited once. Tsuruno told him she found a place where she feels safe and would not return and he notes her expression was blank, similar to how she looked a year ago after Mel&#039;s death. Afterwards, a White Feather ambushes Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will be used for a mission like Tsuruno, and the two fight off the attacker.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Likely on this day, Yachiyo pulls out a box containing what her former friends Kanae Yukino and Mel Anna left behind. She has never opened it since filling it and spends the entire day staring at it, unable to lift the lid. When Iroha arrives and asks about it, Yachiyo explains and admits she is trying to work through her feelings. Iroha offers to help, but Yachiyo deflects, reminding her they were supposed to visit Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls visit Mitama Yakumo and present Grief Seeds as payment for adjustment. Mitama is surprised by the offering and promises to do her best, but she expresses concern about Yachiyo&#039;s emotional state. She suggests Yachiyo clear up her issues with the box before moving forward and offers to adjust both girls at once as a special exception.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Mitama works on her, Yachiyo finds herself in a gray room confronted by a shadowy doppelganger. The shadow accuses her of being afraid of the future and clinging to the past. When Yachiyo refuses to give in to despair, the shadow transforms into her doppel, but she stands firm, accepting her fear while choosing to move forward. Iroha appears beside her, and together they bid farewell to visions of Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo awakens and realizes Mitama adjusted them together intentionally, trusting Iroha could help her if needed. She thanks Mitama for looking out for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at her house, Yachiyo finally opens the box with Iroha beside her. Inside, Kanae left a book of lyrics about becoming a circle with others, and Mel left fortune telling impressions predicting a future where many magical girls would gather in Kamihama. Yachiyo cries as she reads their words. Iroha suggests they head toward that gentle future together. Yachiyo agrees but says first they need to get back their own three points: Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Monday, the 12th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo devise a plan to destroy Rumors across Kamihama to lure out the Wings of the Magius and locate their base. They share this plan with Momoko, who offers to help by getting Grief Seeds for them while they hunt. Momoko then goes to check on Kaede, who is hiding in her room. She hugs Kaede and tells her she and Rena will always be there to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo systematically hunt Rumors like the &amp;quot;Historical Battle Marker,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Castle Town Illusion,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Headless Biker Gang,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Puzzle Tiles Lock,&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;Fashion Monster.&amp;quot; They also interrogate captured Feathers, but none reveal information about Tsuruno, Felicia, or Sana&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Momoko investigates a rapidly spreading rumor about a new amusement park. She notes it originated in the east and spread west through Sakae, Mizuna, and Shinsei Wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha and Yachiyo analyze the Kamihama Rumor Files, marking all known Rumor locations on a map. They identify a pattern: Rumors cluster more densely in Shinsei Ward, with a notable concentration around Satomi Medical Center, the hospital where Ui was supposedly treated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They travel to the hospital area and are ambushed by Feathers. Felicia and Sana, who had broken free of the brainwashing, arrive and help fight off the attackers. The four Magical Girls reunite and Felicia and Sana reveal they pretended to be brainwashed to gather information. Momoko confirms the amusement park rumor spread from east to west and will open at dawn in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Sana explain to Yachiyo and Iroha that Mifuyu used her illusion magic to break their brainwashing. Mifuyu revealed the Magius are protecting and strengthening Witches for their liberation plan and are planning to use the brainwashed Magical Girls to cross a dangerous line. Mifuyu attempted to free Tsuruno but failed, as Tsuruno&#039;s reason for being brainwashed was different. Mifuyu then helped Felicia and Sana escape but chose to remain behind, stating they would be enemies next time they meet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko arrives and shares her investigation into a new Rumor about an amusement park opening at dawn in two days. She confirms it spread from the east, and the group overlays the Rumor locations on a map and identifies a pattern suggesting a source or &amp;quot;eye of the storm&amp;quot; in the eastern wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kanagi screenshot.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo decides to contact Kanagi Izumi, the powerful Magical Girl who controls the eastern Daito and Kosho Wards and is a former rival of hers. Kanagi agrees to an alliance, and during their call, Tsukasa of the Wings of the Magius arrives at Kanagi&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tuesday, the 13th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The morning, Felicia and Sana try to accompany Iroha and Yachiyo but are told to rest due to their collapse the previous night. Iroha and Yachiyo leave them behind. Meanwhile in Kosho Ward, Iroha, Yachiyo, Momoko, and Kanagi meet and Kanagi agrees to ally with them against the Wings of the Magius. They combine their Rumor data on a map, which reveals a circular pattern with a vacant center in Kosho Ward and Kanagi identifies the old railway yard as the likely location of the Wings&#039; base.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After learning the truth about Witches, Madoka questions Kyubey about a way to avoid becoming a Witch. Kyubey states he knows of no method and reveals he cannot enter Kamihama City himself. He proposes an alliance to investigate the Wings of the Magius but Madoka refuses to promise cooperation. She resolves to return to Kamihama with her friends, but then a Witch from Kamihama appears in Mitakihara.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 7: If We Could All Share with Each Other|Another Story Chapter 7: If We Could All Share with Each Other]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura defeat the Kamihama Witch. They share Grief Seeds and note the alarming appearance of foreign Witches in their city. The trio resolves to go to Kamihama the next day to find answers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Around this time, Kyoko successfully infiltrates the Wings of the Magius. She is assigned to a team tasked with dealing with a group that erases Rumors, which she suspects is Iroha&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s group travels to the railway yard but finds it empty. They are ambushed by Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who summon Witches and during the battle, Kanagi uses her unique power to read Iroha&#039;s true intentions and confirms her sincerity. Kanagi then joins the fight and helps defeat the Amane sisters and their Black Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi uses her power on the defeated Amane sisters to read their minds and she learns that Tsuruno is still completely brainwashed and has become part of an Uwasa to protect it. She also learns Tsuruno&#039;s location is at the Ferris Wheel Field in Daito Ward and the group prepares to move out immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Sana and Felicia wait anxiously and Yachiyo calls them with an update.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Rena visits Kaede at her house, and after an argument involving slapping and pinching, Kaede reconciles with Rena and agrees to return to school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team arrives in Daito Ward, where Yachiyo and Iroha plan to enter the &amp;quot;amusement park&amp;quot; Rumor to save Tsuruno, while Felicia, Sana, Momoko, and Kanagi hold off the Wings of the Magius. The group locates the Rumor&#039;s entrance and Kanagi and Momoko stay behind to fight the Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo proceed and confront Alina, Touka, and Mifuyu, where Alina declares her intent to erase them. During the battle, Mifuyu secretly tells Yachiyo that destroying the main Uwasa will kill Tsuruno, and that they must instead tear the Uwasa from her by connecting with her heart. Mifuyu also reveals Tsuruno is in a Ferris wheel car.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101705 uwasatsuruno.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo enter the Rumor, &amp;quot;Chelation Land,&amp;quot; which induces a hazy, thoughtless state. They find Tsuruno, who has fully merged with the Uwasa and acts as the park&#039;s host. Tsuruno tries to force them to relax and stay, serving them hotpot in mugs reminiscent of Mikazuki Villa, but they refuse and attempt to reason with Tsuruno, and she attacks them. Following Mifuyu&#039;s advice, they combine their magic to tear the Uwasa from Tsuruno in one powerful strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nemu02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After Tsuruno is freed from the Uwasa, Yachiyo realizes that Tsuruno&#039;s cheerful demeanor was a facade to hide her pain and guilt over past events, including the death of Mel. The team defeats the main Uwasa of Chelation Land and the Magius, Touka, Nemu Hiiragi, and Alina, confront the group. Nemu reveals she is the &amp;quot;Creator&amp;quot; of all the Rumors in Kamihama and the Magius explain their goal: to use the energy generated by Rumors and Witches to hatch &amp;quot;Embryo Eve,&amp;quot; a being that will liberate all Magical Girls worldwide from the fate of becoming Witches. They state the phenomenon requires the presence of all three Magius and a massive energy source, for which they have used the people of Kamihama and the teams part ways in opposition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 14th==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101701 coaster02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, at Mikazuki Villa, the team summarizes the Magius&#039; plan and that Kamihama is an incubator for Embryo Eve. They resolve to stop the Magius due to the plan&#039;s high human cost and the group gives Yachiyo the set of sakura blossom-themed coasters as a symbol of their team unity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka are separately attacked by multiple Kamihama Witches in Mitakihara before reuniting. They realize the Witch incursion is a coordinated attack meant to prevent them from leaving Mitakihara. Their magic and Grief Seed reserves are heavily depleted in the constant battles.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the ongoing Witch attacks, the trio is overwhelmed by a powerful Witch and is forced to retreat. Sayaka breaks down, admitting her terror of becoming a Witch and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka share their fears and resolve to face the threat together. They are observed by Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, who imply the attack is part of their plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Fendt Hope, Kyoko, having gained the trust of her unit, is taken on a tour of the Wings of the Magius headquarters by her White Feather superior.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, the three defeat the Feathers sent to observe them, and after interrogating them, they receive a message from Iroha about how to save Mami. Holy Mami arrives to Mitakihara and reveals she brought the Witches to Mitakihara to keep the three of them &amp;quot;safe,&amp;quot; and insists the Magius will save them. Alina Gray also appears and traps Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka in a Barrier, which Mami seals with her ribbons.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her infiltration, Kyoko is taken to Hotel Fenthope by Mifuyu Azusa. She confronts Holy Mami, accusing her of not being the real Mami Tomoe. Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi arrive and reinforce the Rumor brainwashing on Mami. Mifuyu secretly escorts Kyoko away and reveals the Magius&#039; plans: they are using a mysterious entity called &amp;quot;Eve&amp;quot; to liberate Magical Girls and are deliberately bringing Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama to hatch it. Horrified, Kyoko rejects the Magius and is led out of the city by Mifuyu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 8: Once Again From Here|Another Story Chapter 8: Once Again From Here]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko arrives in Mitakihara and frees Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka from Alina&#039;s Barrier. She explains the Magius&#039; plan to bring Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama and Homura urges the group to stay in Mitakihara for safety. Kyoko departs alone, later resolving to return and crush the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Iroha has a sudden memory flashback to the hospital, triggered by the word &amp;quot;sakura.&amp;quot; She remembers a story she, Ui, Touka, and Nemu created about the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot; She deduces this Rumor is real and located at the hospital, and that all the Rumors were created there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Touka and Nemu observe that Embryo Eve has reached a critical state and they confirm that a legendary, cross-dimensional event they foresaw: the arrival of Walpurgisnacht, will provide the final, massive energy surge needed to hatch Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo calls a meeting with the Mikazuki Villa household, Tsuruno, and the Momoko trio to share her concern that rumors persist even after they defeat the Uwasa themselves. The group splits up to investigate whether the original Uwasa have truly vanished or transformed into something new.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hereafter: &amp;quot;The Rumor of the Rumor of the Rumor&amp;quot;|Hereafter: &amp;quot;The Rumor of the Rumor of the Rumor&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko, Kaede, and Rena investigate the Breakup Staircase and find only scattered internet gossip remains. During their search, lingering tensions surface over Rena&#039;s painful memories of when Kaede was kidnapped by that Uwasa, but the trio ultimately reconciles and continues working together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno visit Mizuna Shrine, where the Séance Shrine Uwasa has transformed into a popular spot for relationship prayers with new mascots. They encounter a grieving girl who comes daily to pray for her deceased friend, and Yachiyo is reminded of her own departed companions Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Felicia track down the man behind the revived Misery Water rumor, who confesses he was scammed into buying the water and cannot bring himself to deceive others. Felicia helps him find honest work, and the rumors die out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana investigates an online forum where troubled users make veiled threats, but the rumor fades without incident. Tsuruno and Iroha check Chelation Land, where Tsuruno reflects on her past brainwashing and muses about whether some Uwasa exist independently of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The groups reconvene and report that all investigated rumors have left minimal traces. Yachiyo concludes their investigation of the Uwasa is complete, and only the Wings of Magius themselves remain to be confronted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voices from Beyond, Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the afterlife, Mel Anna meets Kanae Yukino, another Magical Girl ghost who also died fighting a Witch. Mel is thrilled to discover they were both on a team with Yachiyo Nanami and calls Kanae her senpai. Kanae takes Mel to a ghost cafe where deceased Magical Girls gather, explaining they cannot interact with the living world except through psychics.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Voices From Beyond|Voices From Beyond]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they wander Kamihama, Mel notices Witch numbers rising dramatically and worries about Yachiyo. They follow Yachiyo and are relieved to find she has new companions in Iroha Tamaki and others, though they remain concerned about their former teammate Mifuyu&#039;s absence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, they watch helplessly as Yachiyo battles the Wings of Magius and eventually enters the Memory Museum, where she relives the trauma of losing Mel and Kanae. When Yachiyo dissolves her team afterward, convinced her magic causes others to die for her, the ghosts desperately try to reach her. Kanae notices Yachiyo kept their mementos: Mel&#039;s fortune log and Kanae&#039;s notebook. They focus their thoughts on these items, and that night, Yachiyo discovers their messages—Kanae&#039;s lyrics about forming a circle and Mel&#039;s fortune predicting the current events. Grateful, she resolves to move forward. Their successful contact gets their ghost licenses suspended, and they watch Yachiyo&#039;s dream of their encounter before fading.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 15th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius initiate a city-wide offensive, unleashing powerful Witches and sending brainwashed Black and White Feathers to indiscriminately attack other Magical Girls. Mami delivers a declaration of war to Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will no longer delay their plan for &amp;quot;freedom.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 8: Kamihama Painted in Lies|Chapter 8: Kamihama Painted in Fiction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magical Girls of Kamihama form a coordinated response and Yachiyo&#039;s team devises a strategy: first, eliminate the unleashed Witches; second, protect other Magical Girls and direct them to Mitama&#039;s shop as a safe haven; third, deal with the rampaging Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, recalling the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; in Hokuyo Ward, theorizes it could be the location of the Magius&#039; hidden base. Yachiyo approves Iroha and Sana to investigate this lead separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next several hours, the teams execute the plan. Yachiyo rescues Ren from a Black Feather and escorts her to Mitama&#039;s shop. Kaede Afinds Konomi protecting an injured Kako; together they defeat a Witch and get Kako to safety. Rena aids Asuka and Sasara, later teaming with Ria and Manaka to defeat a Witch. Momoko and Aimi rescue Kokoro and Masara from Feathers. Tsuruno works with Hinano to eliminate a Witch and warns her about the Feathers. Felicia fights alongside Akira and Nanaka&#039;s group, eventually reuniting with Tsuruno. Kanagi protects Himika from Feathers and sends her to Mitama&#039;s. Yachiyo and Kanagi also rescue Riko and Ayaka from Feather attacks and track the enemy to a heliport. Yachiyo, Kanagi, Momoko&#039;s team, and Tsuruno&#039;s team successfully clear the city of the powerful Witches and they rescue and guide numerous Magical Girls to Mitama&#039;s shop. Momoko confronts Mitama, challenging her to abandon her neutral stance and Mitama agrees to allow her shop to be used as a headquarters and to share her knowledge about the Magius&#039; plans.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama reveals the truth that Magical Girls are destined to become Witches, and that the Magius aim to use the energy from Embryo Eve to spread the Doppel phenomenon worldwide, preventing this fate. However, their methods involve sacrificing the citizens of Kamihama and other Magical Girls to gather this energy, so the Magical Girls at the shelter decide to join the fight against the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, in Chuo Ward, Yachiyo and Kanagi are ambushed by Mami and a horde of brainwashed Feathers at the Kamihama Central Tower heliport. The battle is difficult due to the Feathers&#039; numbers and Mami&#039;s enhanced power from the Uwasa. Kanagi reads Mami&#039;s mind and finds her personality has been completely overwritten by the Uwasa&#039;s influence, leaving only her devotion to the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia then arrive as reinforcements and during the fight, a Black Feather loses her &amp;quot;Receiver Pendant.&amp;quot; Kanagi reads this Feather&#039;s mind, uncovering that the Feathers&#039; berserk state is caused by the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Receiver Pendant,&amp;quot; which numbs their emotions and forces them to obey the Magius&#039; orders. The memory also reveals the three Magius orchestrating the attack to harvest emotional energy from the chaos, believing it will bring their utopia closer. The Feather who lost her pendant then begins to regain her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team battles the brainwashed Mami and the Wings of the Magius. With the help of Momoko&#039;s team and Kanagi&#039;s ability to read the enemy&#039;s weakness, they remove the Uwasa from Mami, freeing her from its control. Mami collapses from exhaustion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Homura pleads with Madoka and Sayaka not to go to Kamihama, fearing for their lives against Walpurgisnacht. After initial hesitation, Madoka and Sayaka resolve to go and Homura agrees to accompany them. The trio leaves for Kamihama but cannot contact Iroha Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Upon arriving in Kamihama, the three are attacked by brainwashed Black Feathers in Sakae Ward, but the Feathers suddenly regain their senses and flee. The trio pursues them into Central Ward and meets Kanoko Yayoi, Karin Misono, and Natsuki Utsuho. They learn that other Magical Girls are gathering at Mitama Yakumo&#039;s office and Karin reveals she saw Nanaka Tokiwa carrying an unconscious Mami there. The group goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds Mami, who has been freed from the Magius&#039; control and awakens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius then execute their plan: they cause a city-wide blackout and seize control of Kamihama&#039;s radio waves and power grid. They use Nemu&#039;s power to project a false utopia over the city, attracting Witches, and Touka&#039;s power to send a signal that summons the legendary Witch, Walpurgisnacht. Their goal is to use the chaos and emotional energy to hatch &amp;quot;Eve.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana infiltrate the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; Labyrinth, initially having their presence hidden due to Sana&#039;s unique magic. There, Iroha confronts Touka and Nemu, using the Uwasa itself as proof that her memories of their shared past with Ui are real. Despite this, Touka and Nemu don&#039;t believe her and refuse to halt their plans. Alina arrives, captures Iroha, and takes her to their main base, Hotel Fendt Hope. Afterwards, Sana escapes and informs Yachiyo&#039;s arriving team of Iroha&#039;s capture.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Mitama reveals she previously supplied the Wings with Grief Seeds in exchange for neutrality but has now chosen to side with Yachiyo&#039;s team against them. Mami herself awakens, now having reconciled with her inner turmoil. Now, Yachiyo&#039;s team, reinforced by Momoko&#039;s team and Mami, prepares to assault Hotel Fendt Hope to rescue Iroha and stop the Magius before Walpurgisnacht arrives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, freed from the Uwasa&#039;s influence, resolves to expose the Magius&#039; true plans to the Feathers and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka decide to support her instead of joining Iroha&#039;s group. Nanaka and her team escort them to the heliport and during the journey, Mami explains to Nanaka that the Feathers&#039; loyalty was placed not in the Magius themselves, but in Mifuyu Azusa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 9: Take My Hand|Another Story Chapter 9: Take My Hand]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the heliport, Mami arrives where the exhausted Feathers and Kamihama Magical Girls are at a stalemate. She reveals the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice hundreds of civilians, including the Feathers&#039; own friends and family, to Walpurgisnacht. She also details their previous use of the Chelation Land Rumor for a similar purpose and the Feathers are shocked and dismayed. Some even accuse Mami of hypocrisy, which she does not deny.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Feathers split into two factions: one that still desires liberation at any cost and another that vows to protect Kamihama. A fight breaks out between them and Madoka and the others defend Mami, declaring their unwavering friendship. Moved, Mami asks the Feathers if they have anyone they trust unconditionally, as she now does, and the Feathers state they trust Mifuyu and demand to hear the truth from her directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami entrusts the Feathers to Nanaka&#039;s team, while she, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka then proceed to Hotel Fendthope to aid Iroha. On the way, Mami thanks her friends and asks them to rely on her as an equal ally and friend, not as a veteran. They arrive at the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Mitama is guarding the entrance. She confirms she is aware of Mami&#039;s past struggles and allows the group to pass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 16th==&lt;br /&gt;
* At Hotel Fendt Hope, Sana infiltrates the hotel to find Iroha and she overhears Feathers discussing Iroha&#039;s location and heads there. Iroha is held in a cell and, with her Soul Gem confiscated, she reflects on her memories of Ui, Touka, and Nemu and resolves to stop the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their plans and Alina demands Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem and body be brought to her. A weather report at the same time indicates the approach of Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana locates Iroha&#039;s cell, and she breaks Iroha out, but the act of breaking the cell door triggers an Uwasa, as the entire building is part of a Rumor. Sana defeats the Uwasa and as they flee, they are ambushed by Black Feathers. Kyoko Sakura, who was undergoing an orientation with the Feathers but decided against joining them, intervenes and helps defeat the attackers as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha explains the Magius&#039; goal is to summon Walpurgisnacht, and Kyoko reveals the Magius also plan to use Iroha, Mifuyu, and the Amane sisters as nourishment for &amp;quot;Eve,&amp;quot; the core of the system. Suddenly, Iroha collapses and stops breathing due to the distance from her Soul Gem. A Black Feather who pretended to be unconscious seizes Iroha&#039;s body and escapes with it, and Sana and Kyoko give chase.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team enters the Hotel Fendt Hope through the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth and they split into two teams: Yachiyo&#039;s group heads to the top floor to rescue Mifuyu and the Amane sisters, while Momoko&#039;s group searches for Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team finds Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa unconscious, their bodies separated from their Soul Gems. They quickly recover the Soul Gems, reviving the three, and Mifuyu confirms the Magius summoned Walpurgisnacht to provide energy to hatch Eve. Mifuyu and the Amane sisters renounce the Magius and join Yachiyo&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Iroha is transported by a Black Feather who reveals her motivation: her younger sister turned into a Witch, and she supports the Magius to prevent others from suffering the same fate. Momoko&#039;s team intercepts them and rescues Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko and Sana fight their way through the hotel and reunite with the main group. Momoko&#039;s team recovers a bag containing Iroha&#039;s, Mifuyu&#039;s, and the Amane sisters&#039; Soul Gems. A group of Feathers from the East confronts them but is persuaded by Kanagi to stand down, and they retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the teams reunited, the full coalition of Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, Kanagi, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Kyoko regroups. They possess all the stolen Soul Gems and are united in their goal to stop the Magius and confront Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team&#039;s path to the underground chapel is blocked and Mifuyu determines the magical building, a Rumor crafted by Nemu Hiiragi, has been reconfigured. Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa attempt to break the blockade, but a powerful magical wind erupts, separating the group. Mifuyu, the Amane sisters, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, and Kyoko are blown outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, Sana, Felicia, Tsuruno, and Kanagi remain inside and they defeat an Uwasa that attacks them. Mifuyu communicates from outside that they are locked out, and she devises a new plan: her group will gather other Kamihama Magical Girls to attack and destroy the Uwasa of Hotel Fendt Hope itself, which will collapse the building. She instructs Yachiyo&#039;s group to hurry to the underground chapel for safety before the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu&#039;s group fights off Witches released by Alina Gray as a defense measure. Mami, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka also arrive and assist them. After the battle, Mami convinces Mifuyu to address all the Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, and using the Amane sisters&#039; sound magic, Mifuyu broadcasts a telepathic message across Kamihama, revealing the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice civilians and summon Walpurgisnacht. She urges the Feathers to lay down their arms and prepare to fight the legendary Witch. Many Feathers also heed her call and defect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami then uses her magic to create a small opening in the building&#039;s barrier and enters Hotel Fendt Hope alone to rejoin Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kyoko is noted to be absent. Yachiyo&#039;s team searches for the entrance to the underground chapel and Mami reveals she concealed the entrance with her magic. She severs the ribbon hiding the path, officially breaking her ties with the Wings of the Magius and Mami then leaves to assist with the attack on the Uwasa of Fendt Hope outside. Kyoko meets Mami along the way and gives her a Grief Seed before they both exit the building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team then encounters false copies of Touka, Nemu, and Alina from the Mirror Witch&#039;s barrier; they realize the fakes speak differently and defeat them before continuing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, Mifuyu&#039;s group, now joined by Mami, Kyoko, and the Feathers who defected, attacks the Uwasa of Fendt Hope. Despite a coordinated assault, the Uwasa proves extremely resilient and withstands their combined power. The battle continues as the city-wide weather disaster escalates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team proceeds down a long staircase into a deep, dark underground area filled with strong magical impurities. Along the way, they are confronted by Mirror copies of themselves that voice their deepest insecurities, but each member overcomes their own doubts by relying on their friends. In the underground chapel, they find Alina, Nemu, and Touka waiting for them. At the back of the chapel, they see the massive, unhatched form of the Witch known as Embryo Eve. They reveal the full scope of their plan. They explain that Kyubey&#039;s true mission is to harvest the emotional energy of Magical Girls to counteract the universe&#039;s heat death. The cycle of hope and despair, culminating in a Magical Girl&#039;s transformation into a Witch, produces the necessary energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius intend to usurp this system. They plan to use the phase transition energy from Eve&#039;s transformation into a full Witch to create a permanent forcefield over Kamihama. This field would allow Magical Girls to release their impurities as Doppels instead of becoming Witches, and the energy would be fed back to the universe, making Kyubey and new Magical Girl contracts obsolete. The imminent arrival of Walpurgisnacht is a key part of their plan, as its destruction by Eve will provide the massive energy required.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Despite understanding the plan, Iroha and her team refuse to accept the Magius&#039; methods or their control over the future. The Magius argue that without their plan, Walpurgisnacht will destroy the city regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 2.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, the battle against the Uwasa of Fendt Hope continues. Realizing they are losing, Mifuyu uses a dangerous self-illusion to unleash all her magic at once in a final attack. She destroys the Uwasa but becomes incapacitated in the process as her Soul Gem starts breaking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the chapel, the destruction of the Uwasa causes Fendt Hope&#039;s Labyrinth to collapse, and the chapel is exposed to the outside as the building disappears. After the collapse of Hotel Fendt Hope, the teams reunite in the forest as the Labyrinth vanishes. Yachiyo learns that Mifuyu was severely injured destroying the Uwasa and was taken to Mitama for treatment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius appear with Embryo Eve, now freed from the chapel, and they prepare to fully release Eve so it can devour the approaching Walpurgisnacht. A battle ensues as the teams try to stop them and Iroha and Sana break through the defensive line of Familiars to attack Eve directly. Iroha&#039;s attack on Eve fails and Eve captures Iroha but does not harm her. A bright light emanates from Iroha, allowing Sana to rescue her. Sana reveals she possesses a branch from the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, which was not in bloom when she received it. The branch suddenly blossoms after Iroha touches Eve and Iroha realizes that Embryo Eve is her missing sister, Ui Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana confront Embryo Eve on Takayama Mountain and Iroha believes Eve is her sister, Ui Tamaki, but Eve breaks free from the mountain and begins to move toward Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream|Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama City, Walpurgisnacht approaches from the sea, accompanied by a massive horde of Familiars that begin to swarm the city. Magical Girl teams led by Hinano Miyako and Nanaka Tokiwa engage the Familiars along the coast to prevent widespread destruction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the ruins of Hotel Fendt Hope, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo bring the injured Mifuyu to Mitama Yakumo for emergency aid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Takayama Mountain, Iroha pleads with the combined Magical Girl forces not to kill Eve, revealing her belief that it is Ui. The Magius leaders and Alina retreat. Eve leaps into the sky, heading for Sankyo Ward in Kamihama. Yachiyo Nanami&#039;s team prepares to pursue Eve, while Madoka Kaname&#039;s group from Mitakihara heads to the coast to help defend against Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Magius headquarters, Touka and Nemu dismiss Iroha&#039;s claims about Ui, despite Nemu&#039;s private suspicions. Alina expresses interest in Iroha&#039;s memories but remains focused on Eve&#039;s hatching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Eve&#039;s arrival in Sankyo Ward, Mitama informs Iroha and the team that Ui&#039;s true body and Soul Gem are contained within Embryo Eve, which is a &amp;quot;Half-Witch.&amp;quot; To save Ui, they must defeat Eve&#039;s manifested form without destroying the Soul Gem and Mitama identifies a large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest as the core that maintains its form and its weak point. Mitama also treats the comatose Mifuyu, whose Soul Gem is critically cracked from overuse. Mitama stabilizes it but cannot fully heal her, and Tsukuyo and Tsukasa decide to rejoin the fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Eve rampages through Sankyo Ward, the combined Magical Girl teams attack Eve but find their assaults completely ineffective. Mitama, the Amane sisters, and other groups like Hinano Miyako&#039;s team regroup and they decide to consolidate their forces: one group will focus on defeating Eve, while the other prepares for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s landfall.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia readies her hammer and strikes Eve on the head with a magic‑powered blow, using her memory‑obliterating ability to confuse Eve and halt its advance; in the aftermath of the strike, a strange glow is visible near Eve&#039;s belly. Meanwhile, the Amane sisters relay the critical intelligence about Eve&#039;s red jewel weak point to Yachiyo&#039;s team. Eve begins to move toward Chuo Ward, and Sana proposes a plan to immobilize Eve so the team can target its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, the combined forces of Yachiyo&#039;s team, the Amane sisters, and other White Feathers execute a plan to immobilize Embryo Eve. They use chains from Sana&#039;s shield, spears, and plants to bind Eve to a large building and Iroha successfully strikes the large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest, its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eve retaliates by absorbing a massive vortex of impurities its Familiars had collected, causing its body to mutate and merge with the jewel. Iroha then sees a vision of Ui trapped within the core, reaffirming her resolve to save her, but the Magius arrive to protect Eve and ensure it consumes Walpurgisnacht. Iroha declares her intent to enter the gem to save Ui directly, and despite being severely injured, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia hold off the Magius, creating an opening for Iroha to advance toward Eve&#039;s core.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:10-19.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha reaches Ui&#039;s body but cannot shatter the gem surrounding it completely. Touka arrives at her side, and questions her motives. Iroha declares Ui is her sister and a precious friend to Touka and Nemu, and as Iroha reaches for Ui, the Embryo Eve attacks and Lil&#039; Kyubey intervenes and blocks the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu experience a flood of memories, recalling the original events. She remembers seeing Iroha with Kyubey in a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, learning about Magical Girls, and devising a plan with Ui and Nemu to usurp Kyubey&#039;s powers to create an automatic purification system and save all Magical Girls. Their plan failed when Ui&#039;s &amp;quot;harvest&amp;quot; ability went haywire upon her transformation, forcing Nemu to sever Ui&#039;s soul from her body and store it within the de-powered, small Kyubey to prevent her from becoming a Witch. This act erased Ui from the world&#039;s memory, as well as any traces of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Regaining their memories, Touka uses her stored energy to destabilize the Embryo Eve and Nemu uses her stories to restrain it. Iroha shatters Eve&#039;s central gem, and the small Kyubey releases Ui&#039;s soul. Ui awakens and reassures Touka and Nemu that she does not blame them for their shared decision. The Embryo Eve, now soulless, begins to decay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined Magical Girl forces, including Mami, Kyoko, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura, continue their battle against Walpurgisnacht in Chuo Ward. Despite their numbers, the Witch proves immensely powerful and resilient.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102304 mikage desire.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, a massive explosion of light and energy erupts from the location of the decaying Embryo Eve. The Eve has transformed into a new, stable form, and Touka deduces that Alina, who had previously shrunk the anti-Kyubey forcefield to contain the city&#039;s energy, has now wrapped that forcefield tightly around Eve. This action stabilized Eve&#039;s energy and prevented its decay, allowing Alina to control it as a tool for her art. Alina appears, now fused with an Uwasa in a manner similar to [[Holy Mami]], and declares her intent to use Eve to create her ultimate masterpiece, disregarding the goal of Magical Girl liberation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, as this is taking place, [[Mikage Yakumo]], Mitama&#039;s younger sister, is approached by Kyubey when the Barrier disappears. After he explains Mitama&#039;s wish to her, Mikage makes a wish of her own to undo the effects of Mitama&#039;s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 2: Smiles and Fireworks|Arc 2, Chapter 2]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Holy Alina]] asserts that humanity subconsciously desires destruction and that she will use the Embryo Eve to fulfill this wish as her ultimate artwork. Kanagi confronts her own past desire to destroy the city due to its history of conflict but ultimately rejects Alina&#039;s path as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 nemu uwasa.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu, as the creator of Alina&#039;s Uwasa, takes responsibility. She uses the last of her life force to summon every Uwasa recorded in her book to attack Alina directly. The attack defeats Alina, making her disappear, but Nemu collapses, severely weakened and unable to move her legs, so White Feathers evacuate her to safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 eve user1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Embryo Eve, now uncontrolled, begins to rampage and targets Ui, attempting to reabsorb her. Lil&#039; Kyubey implies a solution: it will take Ui&#039;s place within Eve. Touka realizes that the small Kyubey, which contains Ui&#039;s former soul and Kyubey&#039;s original functions, possesses similar attributes to Eve. It is also incapable of becoming a Witch. Lil&#039; Kyubey merges with the Embryo Eve, causing it to release all orbs of light from its body, lading in different parts of Kamihama. The small Kyubey thus becomes the core of the &amp;quot;Automatic Purification System&amp;quot; that Touka, Ui, and Nemu originally envisioned, preventing Magical Girls from becoming Witches within Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival, the combined forces of Magical Girls, including the various teams from Kamihama and the team from Mitakihara, are on the verge of defeat. Homura and the others exhaust their weapons and energy in a desperate attempt to defeat it. They are exhausted, out of Grief Seeds, many are incapacitated, and despite their injuries and depleted resources, the girls refuse to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Last Magia|The Last Magia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Walpurgisnacht prepares a massive attack that seems certain to annihilate them, an unknown, benevolent force envelops the Magical Girls. Iroha hears a mysterious voice and sees white feathers raining down, an experience shared by everyone on the battlefield. They all experience a sudden surge of energy and a feeling of being urged forward. This voice is from the Law of Cycles, who had been watching the timeline but not interfering with it. The feathers rejuvenate the group, lifting their spirits and empowering them to continue fighting; their strength is restored, and even the injured find themselves able to fight again. With morale returned, they rally together for one final, united assault, redirecting Walpurgisnacht to Kaihin Park using a coordinated strategy with their unique magical abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined forces of Magical Girls coordinate their unique magics to combat Walpurgisnacht: &lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Natsuki Utsuho initiate the counterattack by using their Encouragement and Cheering magic to boost the morale and power of all allies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seizing this surge of energy, the team implements a complex strategy to control the battlefield. First, Felicia, Meiyui Chun, and Rika Ayano use their Memory Erasure, Persuasion, and Mind-Altering magic to disorient Walpurgisnacht and force it to change course toward the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** To precisely guide the Witch to the intended battleground, Tsuruno, Riko Chiaki, and Emiri Kisaki then use their Good Luck, Luring, and Charm magic, successfully leading Walpurgisnacht to the beachfront park while evading its attacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Once there, the focus shifts to immobilizing the colossal foe. Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Asuka Tatsuki use their Flute Blossom Resonance and Action Control magic in an attempt to halt Walpurgisnacht&#039;s movement entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When it retaliates, Himika Mao diverts its attacks, creating an opening for Kanagi Izumi, who, with a power boost from Mitama&#039;s Coordination, attacks it directly to stun it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** This creates the crucial opening for a full restraint, and Mami, Kanoko Yayoi, and Kaede use Ribbon Binding, Stitching, and Plant magic to ensnare the Witch, which Rena amplified by using her Transformation magic to transform into Kaede and double the restraining power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Walpurgisnacht finally immobilized, Nanaka organizes their forces while Hazuki Yusa and Akira Shinobu identify its weak point with their magic, a gear connected to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire group then launch a coordinated, all-out assault, with offensive magics like Hinano Miyako&#039;s Chemical Explosions leading the charge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout the final attack, Kokoro Awane, Ayame Mikuri, and Konoha Shizumi provide vital defense with their Wall Creation, Safeguarding, and Fog Generation magic, protecting the assault team and ensuring their united strike could land.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Realizing their combined assault was not enough to deliver a final blow, the Magical Girls regroup and to ensure they could act as one perfect unit, Reira Ibuki uses her Purifying Flame to heal their wounds and replenish their energy, while Mito Aino uses her Heart-Linking magic to synchronize their hearts and minds, allowing their resolve to become perfectly aligned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With their spirits united, they form a new strategy and Konomi Haruna uses her magic to force their Fighting Spirit to Bloom, amplifying their collective potential, while Kako Natsume uses her Event Reproduction magic to reinforce the gathered energy, and Ren Isuzu enacts her Nirvana magic to ensure the attack would bring permanent rest to the Witch if successful.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The plan to create a final weapon then commences. Ui uses her Harvest magic to gather the hope and magical energy from every single Magical Girl on the battlefield. She passes this immense energy to Touka, who used her Conversion magic to condense it all into a single, concentrated mass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* This mass of collective hope is then entrusted to Yachiyo, whose unique magic of Inheritance allows her to embody and control the power. She and Iroha shape this energy into a gigantic, radiant arrow aimed at the weak point that had been identified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they prepared to fire, Walpurgisnacht launches an attack to free itself from their binds. In that moment, Homura activates her Time-Stop, and touches Iroha, allowing her to move within the suspended time and take aim unimpeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the path clear, Iroha releases the arrow and strikes the central gear with overwhelming force. As time resumed, the arrow consumed Walpurgisnacht in a brilliant explosion, finally ending the calamity and clearing the sky over Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102005 magicalgirl3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura reflects that she has finally surpassed this battle after countless timelines, and Madoka expresses relief that no more people will suffer from Walpurgisnacht. The girls in Kamihama also celebrate their hard-earned victory, despite the fact that many are injured and exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Epilogue==&lt;br /&gt;
* Some days after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, Iroha and Ui see their parents off at the airport as they leave for their overseas assignment. Iroha and Ui then return to Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama City, where Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana welcome them back. Mifuyu is also present, as Iroha was able to use her magic to repair Mifuyu&#039;s damaged Soul Gem, allowing her to recover. Later that day, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Kanagi, and Mitama visit Mikazuki Villa as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, [[Ultimate Madoka]], a being who identifies as a record-keeper of all universes reflects on the new timeline centered on Kamihama. She states she intervened one last time by sending a &amp;quot;rain of feathers&amp;quot; to empower the Magical Girls but will now only observe, fearing further direct interference could damage this fragile new reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu organize a meeting for all Magical Girls involved in the recent conflict to discuss the actions of the Wings of the Magius and the future fate of all Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu visit the Eternal Sakura. The Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura congratulates them on finally being together as friends and Nemu, who now uses a wheelchair, accepts her condition as a consequence of her past actions. Iroha briefly wonders about the whereabouts of the small Kyubey that once accompanied her, and then meet Lil&#039; Kyubey in the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After some days, Homura reflects on their victory. Despite saving Madoka and defeating Walpurgisnacht, she feels uncertain. The fundamental curse of Magical Girls becoming Witches remains, and she questions if this timeline is truly the best outcome. At school, Mami informs the group about recent disappearances and people getting lost, which they attribute to a new Witch. They devise a plan to track it by mapping the incidents. Kyoko arrives from Kazamino, also hunting the same Witch, and a tense alliance forms.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 10: The Place We Finally Reached|Another Story Chapter 10: The Place We Finally Reached]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group splits into teams to search the area Mami identified. Madoka notices Homura&#039;s preoccupation and reassures her. The teams locate the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and coordinate their attack. During the battle, Homura fears for her friends&#039; safety, but they work together effectively. Kyoko and Sayaka create an opening for Mami and Madoka to deliver the final blow, while Homura evacuates the Witch-Kissed civilians.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Kyoko gives the Grief Seed to Mami and Sayaka declares she has no regrets about becoming a Magical Girl, valuing the power to protect and the friends she has made. This prompts Mami to reconcile with Kyoko, asking to be true friends who help each other when needed again, to which Kyoko agrees. Madoka then states she is also glad she became a Magical Girl, expressing faith in the future because of her friends. This resolve causes Homura to weep with joy, finally believing this timeline, where they face their fate together, could be the one she sought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group, including Kyoko, shares a meal at a pancake restaurant. They discuss an upcoming meeting in Kamihama to address the Magius&#039; actions. While Kyoko opts not to attend, the others plan to update her later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 04 00 0042 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One Saturday, Mami volunteers to help clean the damage done by the Magius incident and Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura go along as well. During it, a Witch attacks and a Magical Girl they were helping unleashes a Doppel. They defeat the Witch and the girl falls unconscious, so Mami takes her to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale|Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After stabilizing her, Mami asks Mitama to help her face her own Doppel and she guides Mami to look within. Mami meets her Doppel and it tries to convince her to forget the past, yet Mami refuses and proclaims that she accepts the Doppel as part of herself. Mami then wakes up, thanking everyone and says they will build the future together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cherry Blossom Dreams===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, the Eternal Sakura completed her duties as an Uwasa when her tree came into full bloom. Her Rumor was rewritten and she was connected to Touka&#039;s server, reborn as an Uwasa with ample knowledge who would later be named Sakurako. Around this time, Yachiyo received a message asking what should be done about the six ringleaders of the Magius—Touka Satomi, Nemu Hiiragi, Mifuyu Azusa, Mitama Yakumo, Tsukuyo Amane, and Tsukasa Amane. Nemu proposed rewriting the Eternal Sakura to serve as an impartial judge. They designed three trials: the first to analyze crimes and calculate a verdict, the second to survey all Magical Girls, and the third to reach a final decision based on responses. Punishments ranged from monitoring to destruction of the Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams|Cherry Blossom Dreams]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the first trial, Sakurako sentenced Touka and Nemu to the maximum penalty. Mifuyu received power revocation, reduced from maximum due to testimony that she helped destroy Fendt Hope. Mitama received conditional power revocation, allowed to transform only for Coordinator work. The Amane sisters received power restriction. After the trial, Touka and Nemu remained calm, thanking everyone. Yachiyo noted they had intentionally omitted their ages from consideration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Nemu and Sakurako wait at a train station with others. Nearby girls whisper about Nemu, recognizing her as one of the Magius and questioning why she faces no punishment. Ui argues with Iroha about using the Stardust Time Viewer, while Touka pushes through the crowd, disheveled from navigating the train alone. The three girls reunite, each feeling it is a dream. Touka sends Ui a photo of the map they created together in the hospital. The group travels to the mall, where Ui finally visits the croquette shop she always wanted to try, and they share plates to taste each other&#039;s orders. From there, they take a rickshaw to Mizuna Shrine, where they briefly encounter Tsukuyo and Tsukasa, who quickly hurry away. The group buys prayer plaques, though most hesitate at the cost until a shrine attendant suggests writing prayers on the back of their fortunes instead. Iroha wishes for all Magical Girls to get along, while Touka and Nemu write their own wishes. They argue over where to go next—Touka wants a lookout point in Hokuyo Ward, but Ui resists rushing. Sakurako suggests they also face reality, so they head to Central Ward, still scarred from Walpurgisnacht and Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui admits she used the library as an excuse to bring them here, hoping the Stardust Time Viewer would show them a hopeful future. Nemu summons the Rumor, transporting them to a star-filled space. The Viewer shows Iroha&#039;s future: a world where the Doppel system has expanded globally and all Magical Girls coexist peacefully. Iroha feels embarrassed, but Sakurako assures her the wish is beautiful. When Ui asks to see her own future, the Viewer has nothing to show. Ui realizes this means Touka and Nemu are absent from Iroha&#039;s future and accuses them of planning to die. The vision fades, returning them to the rubble of Central Ward. Touka and Nemu admit they believe they should die for their crimes, pointing to the destruction around them, the Feathers they manipulated, and the innocent people hurt. Sakurako confirms she knew this all along. Ui slaps them both, demanding they consider how she feels. Nemu explains they wanted to do what they could while they still had time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second trial begins. No surveys have arrived. Sakurako agrees to wait one hour. Yachiyo and others leave to retrieve them. Mifuyu confronts Touka and Nemu, asking if they sabotaged the surveys. They admit they did, altering the date so the surveys would not arrive in time. They wanted to be judged and sentenced to death to spare Ui from the hatred directed at them. Ui refuses to accept this. She and Iroha transform to protect them. The hour ends and Sakurako moves to deliver punishment. Iroha and Ui hold her back as Mifuyu and Mitama join the defense. The Amane sisters attack Sakurako with their flutes, accepting heavier sentences. Iroha realizes they can use photos of the surveys as evidence. Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s phones begin chiming with images from Yachiyo and the others. Iroha begs Sakurako to accept the evidence. Sakurako confirms the surveys are real and delays the trial, requiring them to arrive by day&#039;s end. The surveys show Magical Girls believe Touka and Nemu should be punished, but not killed. Some suggest atonement, rehabilitation, or mentorship. Reading the responses, Touka and Nemu weep, but Ui weeps with joy. Based on the surveys, sentences are reduced. Touka and Nemu receive monitoring with transformation-prevention bracelets, while Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s sentences are reduced to monitoring. The Amane sisters are found not guilty and Feathers who revealed themselves have their cases dismissed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the group gathers. Touka and Nemu wear their bracelets. Sakurako serves drinks. Mifuyu asks about tutoring Touka in exchange for help with pharmacy school. Nemu will rely on Sakurako for mobility on difficult days. Tsuruno suggests welcoming them as the Brains of Kamihama. In the kitchen, Sakurako hugs Touka and Nemu, then Iroha and Ui. She tells them she loves them. The days she always dreamed of have arrived. The real spring can finally begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocolatier in Mirror Country===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro, Masara, Konomi, Asuka and Sasara gather at Manaka&#039;s place to plan their charity bazaar booth. Kokoro and Masara participate to help Himika&#039;s family without making it obvious, while Asuka and Sasara join to invite a lonely girl named Chi whose father died. Konomi&#039;s booth was invited directly due to her popular Valentine&#039;s bouquets. They agree on a collaboration between Walnuts and Blossom the florist, dividing tasks among themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Warming Valentine ~Until your thoughts reach you~|Warming Valentine ~Until your thoughts reach you~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Manaka&#039;s father&#039;s help, Kokoro and Masara make bear-shaped chocolates. Asuka recruits dojo volunteers, Sasara invites Chi and designs leaflets, and Konomi prepares bouquets with Izayoi&#039;s help decorating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the bazaar, adults receive bouquets with donation and children get free chocolates. Chi and her mother visit happily. Himika initially refuses chocolate but accepts after realizing her siblings want it, and they enjoy the day together. The event succeeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later at a celebration party, Sasara and Kokoro feel their efforts changed nothing. Masara scolds them for impatience, explaining kindness takes time. Kanagi and Asuka arrive with good news that Himika&#039;s family is making White Day gifts, and Chi&#039;s mother now calls daily. Relieved, they enjoy the party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Valentine&#039;s Day, girls give chocolates to loved ones. Sasara gives to her father, Asuka to her cousin, and Konomi to her aunt. Masara and Kokoro exchange chocolates at their favorite spot, and Kokoro tearfully reconciles with her parents. Elsewhere, Rena and Tsukuyo each struggle to give chocolates to Kaede and Tsukasa. Following a rumor, they separately pray at a radio tower, accidentally encounter each other, and successfully give their chocolates when Kaede and Tsukasa also arrive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, in Mitakihara, Nagisa bakes a chocolate cake with Mami while feeling that something is wrong, as her memories feel hazy and she seems more childish than she should be. She realizes her memories of being longtime friends with Mami are false, yet she recognizes that the warmth she feels is what she has always wanted. When they finish the cake, a Witch that looks like a younger version of Nagisa steals it, and they chase it into a mirror, finding themselves in a transformed version of the Mirror Witch&#039;s Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Chocolatier in Mirror Country|Chocolatier in Mirror Country / The Mirror World Chocolatier]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They encounter Madoka and Homura trapped in a time loop illusion, free them, and learn that Sayaka and Kyoko went ahead and are now missing. They find Sayaka and Kyoko trapped in a competition for a magical cake, so Mami and Nagisa enter and win by choosing a song they both know well. Using the cake&#039;s wishes, they reunite the group and defeat the attacking Witch. Nagisa realizes she has two sets of memories and deduces the chocolate-loving Witch is an alternate version of herself who wished for chocolate cake instead of cheesecake. This Witch has been consuming the Labyrinth&#039;s power and attracting Witches from parallel worlds through mirror gates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The little Witch steals the cake again, and during the chase, Nagisa and Mami become separated in a dark fog. A poem warns them not to open their eyes or they will lose each other, but Nagisa&#039;s self-doubt overwhelms her. Remembering losing her mother and everyone else, she convinces herself Mami is not really there, opens her eyes, and is consumed by the Witch. The group fights through countless gates to find her and engages the master Witch. Inside, Mami finds Nagisa, hugs her tightly, and promises they will always be friends because of the future they will share, not false memories. Nagisa finally believes her, and the cake is returned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group realizes that even with the master Witch defeated, other Witches have taken its place, so they must clear them all to restore the Labyrinth. They commit to finishing the job together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Labyrinth is cleared, they gather at Mami&#039;s apartment for a chocolate party where Nagisa officially gives Mami the cake. They play poker with chocolate coins to decide how to share the remaining half, and Mami wins, but she divides the cake equally among all six. Everyone agrees it is the best cake in the universe. Nagisa thanks Mami, and Mami welcomes her warmly, calling her a little chocolatier and a lovely new addition to their circle of friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Kamihama, that night, Tsukuyo finds Rena praying at the Chuo Ward radio tower, having both read an online article claiming that twenty minutes of prayer there ensures successful apologies to loved ones. Tsukuyo confesses she hurt her twin sister Tsukasa by rejecting their Valentine&#039;s plans after failing at homemade chocolate, while Rena admits she snapped at Kaede and claimed she had no chocolate for her after Kaede had given her some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The 14th Day Where I Can&#039;t Be Honest|The 14th Day Where I Can&#039;t Be Honest]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their conversation is interrupted when Tsukasa and Kaede suddenly appear, having anticipated their partners would come here to apologize. Tsukasa assures Tsukuyo she was not upset and would treasure any chocolate from her, urging her to be easier on herself. Kaede forgives Rena and asks simply for her to be more honest. Together, the two pairs exchange Valentine&#039;s wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany===&lt;br /&gt;
* Walpurgisnacht&#039;s attack on Kamihama City caused massive damage to Chuo Ward, which the public believes was a natural disaster. Only Magical Girls know the truth and privately, Mitama reflects that the victory gave her hope, but she wonders if the destruction she once wished for can be defied.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany|The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Several days after Walpurgisnacht, Mitama realizes Doyle has not visited her shop and the last saw him the day before Walpurgisnacht. She assumes the storm made him too scared to go out, so she decides to close her shop and search for him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama looks around the vacant land near her shop and a girl named Ritsumi offers to help. Ritsumi’s cat Arthur ran away before, so she knows where cats hide. They search but find nothing and Ritsumi says Arthur now lives with her grandpa. Mitama realizes Ritsumi is the daughter of the neighbor who owns Arthur and Mitama had mistaken Arthur for Doyle and that Ritsumi has never actually seen Doyle. They end the day without clues and Mitama sends a message to the Magical Girls’ group chat asking if anyone has seen a white tabby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama knocks on the neighbor’s door and Ritsumi’s mother answers. She explains that Arthur was sent away two weeks ago to Ritsumi’s grandpa. Mitama realizes that no one knows where Doyle came from. Ritsumi’s mother promises to keep an eye out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana, Asuka, and others from Mizuna Girls’ Academy saw Mitama’s group chat post and they arrive to help. More volunteers soon arrive: Kaede, Kako, Rena, Konoha’s team, and others. They split up to cover Shinsei Ward and Mitama notes that no one else has ever seen Doyle. Konoha says she never saw a cat at Mitama’s shop. Rena also asks for a photo, but Mitama has none.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds Ritsumi near the bus stop and they search door to door. No one in the neighborhood has seen a white tabby kitten either. Ritsumi says she has read all “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” books and that her favorite is “Invisible Epiphany,” about a detective searching for a lost child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko meets Mitama alone. Momoko says she never saw Doyle and neither did Tsukasa or the other girls. Mitama remembers talking to Doyle in front of them, but they saw no cat ither. Momoko suggests a Rumor is involved, as all Rumors disappeared after the fight with the Magius, except the Eternal Sakura. Coincidentally, Doyle disappeared at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls Nemu, who is still in the hospital and Nemu explains that Doyle was part of the Rumor of the Cat Detective. The Rumor possesses detective novel lovers, detects signs of a case, gets the detective involved, and guarantees a solution. Nemu explains she erased almost all Rumors, including this one. Mitama thinks Doyle disappeared because the Rumor was destroyed and she had solved four cases with Doyle’s help, yet the fifth never began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama re-reads her case files and each one has an opening paragraph she does not remember writing. The first case file hints at Hanna Sarasa. The second hints at Tsukasa. The third and fourth also name the culprits. Mitama realizes Doyle left those hints, and Nemu says the Rumor did not cause incidents, only detected them, so those incidents would have happened anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0009 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Kamihama slowly returns to order. Mitama notes that she cannot rely on Doyle anymore and she hopes she does not get any new cases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui and the Eternal Sakura visit Mitama to deliver a lampshade from Yachiyo. Ui says a girl from her school has gone missing and Mitama is shocked to learn the girl is Ritsumi, who did not come home after school yesterday and the police are investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama goes to the bus stop near her shop and finds Ritsumi’s mother. The mother says Ritsumi likely went to Hokuyo Ward to see her grandpa and Arthur. Ritsumi’s parents are separated and her father lives with his parents in Hokuyo Ward. The mother believes Ritsumi wanted to visit them, but the bus route to Hokuyo was suspended after the disaster but has resumed, bypassing Chuo Ward. Soon, Himika calls Mitama. Himika saw a girl matching Ritsumi’s description waiting at the Shinsei Ward bus stop yesterday, reading a book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi arrive and Momoko explains she has been investigating at school. Ritsumi transferred to Kamihama University Affiliated School six months ago after her parents separated and she moved into the building next to Mitama’s shop. Momoko explains Arthur went to live with her father in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo Ward. Mitama realizes the conflicting information: Arthur was first in Chuo Ward, then evacuated to the grandpa’s house in Hokuyo after the disaster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Satomi Medical Center, Nemu discusses the case with Eternal Sakura. Nemu recalls the hidden hints in Mitama’s case files. The last words of each hint spell “Lost Through Time Eternal,” which is the title of volume 12 of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” In that story, a girl runs away to her old home. Nemu deduces that Ritsumi went to her old apartment in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo. She likely got off at the nearest bus stop and walked into the restricted zone, then she had an accident.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Momoko, and Kanagi search the area near the old apartment and they hear a voice. Ritsumi had fallen into an old underground passage and sprained her ankle. She lost track of time and had no phone. Mitama explains she remembered the Doyle book and Ritsumi admits she was copying the girl in the story as she wanted to see the area where she grew up. The three quickly rescue her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ritsumi is taken to a hospital and also discharged quickly. Her parents agree to let her visit both of them and Arthur whenever she likes. Mitama reflects that Doyle gave her confidence and the city she cursed is still standing, so she dares to believe in hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Momoko finally holds the Coordinator Thank-You Party that was postponed earlier and Rena and Kaede thank Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui reads &amp;quot;The Happy Prince&amp;quot; and reflects on her uncertain purpose as a Magical Girl. While walking, she stops Kyubey from contracting a girl outside Kamihama, explaining she cannot let anyone else suffer the fate of becoming a Witch. When Kyubey asks what he should do instead, she has no answer. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia tells Ui she is overthinking things and should focus on her upcoming combat test. Iroha and Yachiyo serve dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight|A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno gives Ui an enthusiastic pep talk for her live combat test. To remain in Kamihama, Ui must detect and eliminate a Witch alone—the same test Yachiyo gave Iroha when she first arrived. Yachiyo admits the test may be unfair and offers to let Ui choose a partner. With Iroha busy helping Kanagi, Ui chooses Momoko. They depart together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui struggles to sense the Witch&#039;s magic, so they search Mizuna Ward where young women gather. They encounter a Familiar and follow it to a Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After defeating it, Felicia suddenly appears, attacks them, and runs away. Tsuruno gives chase and tackles her. Felicia&#039;s oblivion magic has erased their memory of the Familiar&#039;s pattern, so they cannot track the Witch. Momoko requests a pause, but Yachiyo refuses, stating unexpected events happen in real combat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia admits she interfered because she is jealous that Ui receives everyone&#039;s attention while she struggled alone as a mercenary. Yachiyo explains that Felicia&#039;s past does not justify making others unhappy. Meanwhile, Ui cheers up after eating crepes with Momoko and resolves to continue. As sunset approaches, they search Sakae Ward but find nothing. Yachiyo offers to bring a Familiar for them to retrack, but it disappears before they arrive. Ui suggests checking Hokuyo Ward on a hunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Hokuyo Ward, Ui senses a different Witch&#039;s magical reaction. They follow Witch-kissed people up a mountain toward a labyrinth. At Yachiyo&#039;s house, the others realize Ui failed the test since Yachiyo had to eliminate the original Witch herself, though Yachiyo will allow a retake. They notice Felicia smiling and suspect she interfered again. Rena confesses she helped Felicia erase the hint because she understood Felicia&#039;s jealousy. Tsuruno says the only person who deserves an apology is Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the mountain, Ui and Momoko enter the Witch&#039;s barrier against Momoko&#039;s better judgment. They fight through Familiars but become trapped and cannot escape. The Witch overwhelms them. Yachiyo and the others arrive and join the fight, but Familiars overwhelm them too. Iroha arrives at the last moment to defend Ui. Ui proposes using her ability to harvest impurities, purifying everyone&#039;s Soul Gems so they can fight at full strength. She will temporarily become a Witch, but the Doppel system will contain it. She absorbs the impurities, and the others destroy the Witch while Ui struggles with the darkness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui unleashes her Doppel and meets her Doppel self, who accuses her of wanting punishment and being jealous of others while trapped in the hospital. Ui nearly agrees to let the Doppel consume her but refuses, recognizing it as the easy way out. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words about taking responsibility and confronting the situation honestly. She accepts her wrongs and her true feelings, realizing this difficult path will bring true happiness. The Doppel admits she is right. Iroha wakes Ui at Mitama&#039;s clinic, where she has been unconscious for some time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama checks on Ui after her first Doppel release. Felicia apologizes for her interference and says she thinks Ui is cool. Rena also apologizes for helping Felicia. Ui accepts their apologies and compliments them both, asking Felicia to teach her things. Rena and Felicia feel terrible for how they treated someone so kind. Later that evening at Yachiyo&#039;s house, everyone celebrates Ui passing her test—though she did not defeat the assigned Witch, she tracked a Witch, stayed calm, used her intelligence, and performed better than expected. Ui tells Iroha she now knows what she wants to do as a Magical Girl. Iroha decides to work with other Kamihama Magical Girls to find a way to free them all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui and Iroha encounter Kyubey outside Kamihama attempting another contract and stop him. Kyubey asks what their goal is. They explain they plan to fight and find a way to coexist with Kyubey—if they can expand Kamihama&#039;s miracle globally, Magical Girls can live happily while providing the energy Kyubey needs. Kyubey welcomes the idea if it avoids conflict but warns that Magical Girls worldwide are not as unified as those in Kamihama. Ui wonders how much happiness she can give to the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tart / Darc Magica===&lt;br /&gt;
* Through Minou&#039;s spell from 15th-century France, Ui is pulled into the past, with her phone acting as her Soul Gem and Blank Prophecy, with the power to restore the past&#039;s real history.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rebel of a Dawnless Land|Rebel of a Dawnless Land]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning from the past, Ui finds herself in an antique store, still surrounded by magic bubbles though no memory of what occured. On the floor are the two candles and the old book. She feels they are important but cannot remember why, so she puts them on store shelves before falling asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui wakes up at Mikazuki Villa. Her phone rings with a text of Nemu asking if she knows any charms, as Mitama has been really into them lately. Ui says she knows a charm for good dreams requiring red and blue candles. Nemu asks where she heard about it and Ui isn&#039;t sure but says it was in 15th-century France. Nemu is fascinated and promises to research it. Later, Ui scrolls through her phone and finds a photo she doesn&#039;t recognize with girls she doesn&#039;t know. She begins crying without understanding why and Iroha finds her and hugs her tightly. Suddenly Ui remembers Darc&#039;s final words. She turns to her sister and tells her, &amp;quot;Let&#039;s have a wonderful future together.&amp;quot; Iroha agrees. Ui calms down and heads home to prepare for a slumber party with Nemu and Touka. Iroha, running errands, decides to stop by Mitama&#039;s place afterward. Mitama greets her warmly, mentioning she just learned an interesting little charm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That day, Iroha visits Mitama, who gives her and Yachiyo antique candles for a sweet dream spell. That night, they light the candles and drift off to sleep together, where they&#039;re pulled into the nightmare of Jeanne d&#039;Arc in April 29th, 1429.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Maiden of Hope|The Maiden of Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next morning, Yachiyo reveals she had the same dream. They call Mitama, who is surprised they had nightmares instead of sweet dreams. They decide to try the candles again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Kamihama plunged into darkness and all non-Magical Girls vanished. Their Soul Gems have consumed magic in the real world despite no injuries. Realizing the dream affects reality, they decide to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a lot of fighting, they awaken and prepare for the final battle. In this journey they discover that they&#039;d been traveling to Darc&#039;s dream, and if Darc despairs completely, she will turn into a Witch and trigger a catastrophe affecting the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Felicia and Sana gone and Kamihama empty. Breaking into Mitama&#039;s shop, they find a grimoire revealing the candles were made with Darc&#039;s hair, creating a connection to her dream. They return with the book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They finally awaken at Mikazuki Villa to sunshine and normalcy. Felicia demands steak for dinner. Consulting a history book, they read that on May 7th, 1429, Jeanne d&#039;Arc fought at Tourelles after waking from a dream. The battle was fierce but Orléans was liberated. Iroha notices a portrait in the book showing them in their Magical Girl outfits standing beside Jeanne d&#039;Arc.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at Mitama&#039;s shop, Yachiyo recounts everything. Mitama mentions the spell became widespread in France during Jeanne d&#039;Arc&#039;s era. Iroha realizes Melissa must have spread it after learning it from them in the dream. The use of red and blue candles was too specific to be coincidence. Iroha&#039;s head spins trying to figure out where the spell originated. Yachiyo notes the grimoire never mentioned the candle setup, so the spell just circled around and around. They will never know for certain whether they changed history or were always part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* During their slumber party, Ui, Touka, and Nemu encounter a massive witch, [[Crépuscule de La Reine]]. Touka and Nemu vanish, leaving Ui and Sakurako to face it alone. The witch is unaffected by their attacks and disappears, taking Ui with it into 15th-century France once more, this time in the realm of Purgatory which Minou created. With Pernelle&#039;s help, Ui is soon able to also summon Iroha and Yachiyo there as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;endofalegendthelimitsoflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - End of a Legend, the Limits of Light|End of a Legend, the Limits of Light]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha, Yachiyo, Ui, and Sakurako pass through the gates and return to their future, reuniting with Touka and Nemu as their memories fade.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;endofalegendthelimitsoflight&#039;/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Lil&#039; Kyubey and Ui&#039;s phone as the Blank Prophecy are pulled as &amp;quot;If Factors&amp;quot; into the world of Holy Maiden Academy, which Minou created and maintained for six hundred years after being given a Philosopher&#039;s Stone after Isabeau&#039;s death. However, after her plans are thwarted by the &amp;quot;what if&amp;quot; version of Melissa, he returns and wakes in the real world, where Iroha and Ui assure him it was just a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;counc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Masked Student Council Strikes Back|The Masked Student Council Strikes Back]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Voices from Beyond, Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a year after Voices from Beyond, Part 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With peace restored in Kamihama, Yachiyo visits a flower shop to buy flowers for Mel&#039;s grave, still haunted by never defeating Mel&#039;s Witch. She unexpectedly encounters Mifuyu and Mel&#039;s mother, who reassures them Mel was happy because of their love. Walking toward the cemetery, Yachiyo and Mifuyu are engulfed by the barrier of the Witch Etteilla—Mel&#039;s Witch. They struggle against both the Witch and their own fears: Mifuyu fears defeating it means forgetting Mel, while Yachiyo fears losing anyone else. Remembering the ghosts&#039; encouragement, Yachiyo convinces Mifuyu they must move forward because Mel and Kanae wanted them to. They defeat the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mel&#039;s grave, they place flowers and the Grief Seed from the Witch, hoping her soul has finally found peace. They silently promise to keep moving forward. Mifuyu wonders if Mel&#039;s Witch appeared to give them a push, and they smile, repeating Mel&#039;s favorite phrase: all things happen when they must. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to see the belongings Mel and Kanae left behind, and Mifuyu gladly accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One weekend, Rui ropes Seira into attending Kamiket, a convention for sharing and selling fan-made media in Kamihama. The two became close friends after discovering they are both Magical Girls, and because Seira is the only one who knows about Rui&#039;s embarrassing secret: a heavy case of chuuni-byo. Rui agreed to bring Seira on the condition that only the two of them would go, ensuring nobody else discovered her secret.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!|I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the day of the convention, Rui cannot contain her excitement and slips into character, declaring the convention her sanctuary and the catalog guidebook as Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Her main objective is to purchase the newest installment of her favorite indie game series and meet its creator, MacQueen. On the way to the booth, she accidentally bumps into a stranger who seems irritated about someone not being at the convention yet. When she arrives, the booth attendants inform her that someone has been using counterfeit money, and worse, MacQueen himself is missing. Rui&#039;s imagination immediately conjures a grand conspiracy, but the criminal is soon caught and MacQueen calls to say he overslept. Relieved, Rui takes a photo with the booth girls, but as the picture is taken, chills run down her spine as she senses someone glaring at her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rui dismisses it as her imagination and continues exploring with Seira. Remembering the booth numbers hit by counterfeit money, she realizes they spell the chemical formula for Ricin, a lethal poison. Her imagination ignites again, convincing her that the real attack will come through poisoned food from outside vendors. She rushes them outside to stop the attack, but everyone seems fine, and her Magical Girl ability, which lets her see how close someone is to death, reveals nobody is in danger. Ashamed, she realizes her imagination finally got the best of her and apologizes to Seira. They decide to get lunch, and Rui opens her laptop to install her new game. The screen is black, and in the reflection she sees her own face. Her magic reveals she herself is now close to death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Remembering the chills from earlier, Rui checks the photo and finds the man from earlier glaring at her in the background. She rushes back to the booth to warn the girls, who recognize the man as Miranda, a popular content creator. As they discuss this, MacQueen finally arrives, and Rui sees he is the closest to death&#039;s door, with Miranda also marked. She confronts Miranda, who confesses he intended to kill MacQueen over an alternate ending in the latest game that suggested his favorite sub-heroine may have had a former lover. He pulls out a gun he secretly printed with a smuggled 3D printer. Just as he is about to shoot, Rui shows him a cutscene on her laptop, which is the second part of the alternate ending, unlocked only after clearing the entire game, revealing the sub-heroine fabricated the story to protect the user character. Miranda realizes his mistake and surrenders to security. After the incident, Seira asks if Rui was scared. Rui reveals she always wears chainmail under her clothes and also carried a heavy blunt object for protection, the magically enhanced Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Seira decides to pretend she did not hear that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 11:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura writes in her diary as she and her friends take an air-conditioned express train to the beach for summer vacation. They buy ice cream and enjoy the ride.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Beachside Bonds|Beachside Bonds]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls arrive at their destination, a seaside inn run by Sayaka&#039;s relatives who had a sudden cancellation. Sayaka complains about the heat as they walk to the inn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Sayaka&#039;s aunt shows them to their rooms and warns them not to get lost in the surrounding forest. Outside, two young girls who live at the inn approach Madoka. They ask if she knows someone named Kei, who is looking for someone named Yu. They warn Madoka not to talk to Kei and that she should hold still if Kei enters her room. The girls then leave. Homura suggests Kei might be a cat. They agree to tell the others as Kyoko passes by already in her swimsuit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, the girls play volleyball. Mami spikes the ball hard and hits Homura in the face. They stop the game and Mami frets over Homura. Madoka suggests they rest in the shade while Mami buys something cold. Madoka then suggests they collect pine cones from nearby trees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the forest, a cat appears and leads them deeper into the trees. It guides them to a small shrine, where Homura finds an old notebook. She reads entries from April 20, June 24, August 3, and August 6, all detailing the author&#039;s complicated feelings for someone named Kei. Madoka tells her to put it back without reading further. When they turn around, the cat is gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the beach, Sayaka shares a rumor from the beach house: a girl fell off a nearby cliff years ago and died, and her spirit is reportedly seen rising from the ocean between two and three a.m. Mami shrieks in fear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Kyoko teases Mami about being scared. The conversation turns to ghosts and Kyoko compares them to how normal people might perceive Witches. Madoka feels relieved and tells Sayaka about the twin girls. Sayaka plans to ask them about any pets later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After an Italian dinner, the girls light fireworks on the beach. Kyoko bumps into Hinano Miyako, who doesn&#039;t recognize her but does recognize her Soul Gem ring. Ren Isuzu finds Hinano, followed by Emiri Kisaki and Rika Ayano. The groups combine for fireworks. Emiri admits she used a little magic to help everyone relax, explaining why Kyoko had strange memories of Mami. Kyoko chases Sayaka around the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Heading back to the inn, Sayaka finds her twin cousins lining up stones. They claim the stones protect against Kei entering. They say Kei would hate Sayaka the most because she is nosy, then leave. In her diary, Homura writes that the girls talked until they all fell asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 12&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura&#039;s diary entry describes a dream belonging to someone else. In the dream, the narrator waits for her friend Yusa Yumeno, who arrives with popsicles. The narrator complains that Yusa doesn&#039;t need to come every day, but Yusa insists she can only be her real self around her friend. The narrator believes identity is shaped by others&#039; perceptions. She reveals she may not take college exams due to family obligations and urges Yusa to attend her chosen school, comparing herself to a weed and Yusa to a flower growing in a different direction. The narrator comes home to another hateful letter from classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes in a cold sweat, unable to move. The room smells strongly of seaweed. She sees a pitch-black human shadow sitting between Mami and Sayaka&#039;s futons. It examines their faces, grumbling &amp;quot;wrong, wrong, all wrong.&amp;quot; As it moves toward Madoka, Homura struggles to move. The shadow stops and stares at her, asking &amp;quot;You can see me?&amp;quot; Homura screams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others wake. Sayaka notices the strange smell. Kyoko goes back to sleep. Mami offers water and Homura asks if someone entered the room. They saw no one. Sayaka apologizes for the scary stories. Mami suggests thinking about tomorrow&#039;s fun. Madoka offers to hold Homura&#039;s hand, which she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes early, the ocean scent still strong. She finds the twin girls outside. They ask if she met Kei. Homura asks what Kei is. The girls explain Kei looks like a human made of shadow without facial features, smells of the sea, and emerges from the ocean at night to look for her friend Yu. They repeat that she should do nothing and never talk to her. They notice their protective stones scattered and go to reline them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura suspects this might be a Rumor. She returns to the forest shrine and finds the notebook on the shrine&#039;s lattice door, despite having placed it underneath. She reads entries from May 2, May 20, June 12, and June 26, all detailing the author Yu&#039;s complicated, obsessive feelings for Kei. She replaces the notebook, feeling guilty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Homura recalls more diary entries: July 2 describes Yu placing hands on Kei&#039;s neck as if to strangle her; July 5 compares Kei&#039;s neck to a lizard she killed; July 15 describes Kei now finding Yu after school; July 20 states they should never have met and that both wear bandages to hide bruises on their necks. Madoka points out a small bruise on Homura&#039;s neck.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls begin walking to an aquarium along the coast. Kyoko complains about the distance and suggests fishing instead. Sayaka refuses, traumatized by a recent fishing tournament incident in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the aquarium, they eat fish burgers, marvel at jellyfish, and watch a dolphin and seal show. They leave at sunset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls walk to a cape to watch the sunset. Sayaka warns them not to get too close to the edge, referencing the girl who died. Homura smells flowers and Mami identifies night-blooming jasmine nearby. The scent reminds Homura of her dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recalls another diary entry: August 1 describes Yu feeling happy hearing Kei&#039;s wish despite blaming herself; August 12 states their plan is set for tomorrow, with Yu hoping something will make Kei reconsider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the cape, Kyoko admits feeling down because a cape is the end of the road with nothing after. Mami says it&#039;s more important they could talk again like they used to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary about the difference between the self you know and the self others perceive. She asks Madoka what kind of person she thinks Homura is. Madoka calls her a dear friend who works hard. Homura worries that revealing her time-traveling truth would change this perception. After dinner, the girls settle in for sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 13:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura dreams again of Kei and Yu. Kei calls out that the promised day is here. She has dressed up and brought a ribbon to tie them together. Yu questions if this is right. Kei insists her life belongs only to Yu. They vow: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; They promise to kill each other for every reincarnation as proof of who they are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A voice calls Homura to wake. She awakens to find Madoka standing with eyes closed, enveloped in shadow. Madoka snaps her eyes open and proclaims repeatedly &amp;quot;I got in.&amp;quot; She calls out for Yu, saying the promised day is finally here. Madoka runs into the forest toward the cliff. Homura chases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the cape, everything grows dark. Madoka, possessed by Kei&#039;s spirit, tells Homura that the drowned Chinese girl&#039;s body washed up here and she is looking for her father&#039;s ship. Homura urges her to chase after the girl to escape, but Kei claims Homura will kill her as soon as they leave. Homura transforms and attempts to freeze time but finds her magic has no effect in this place where time does not flow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren&#039;s voice calls out. She informs Homura that the others are searching for them, but only Ren could traverse into this abyss. Ren suggests this might be similar to her own magic rather than a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kei admits she tried possessing Homura but could not, so she settled for Madoka. She explains she is a faint memory staining the cliffside. The drowned girl&#039;s spirit helped her recall all her memories clearly. She describes how she and Yu bound themselves together and jumped into the ocean, but the waves pulled them apart. Kei died; Yu survived. Kei wants to kill Yu so they can kill each other throughout eternity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura refuses to stay in the abyss with Madoka. Kei transforms Madoka into her magical girl state and attacks. Ren blocks the blow and tries to use her magic to draw out the possession. Homura calls out the vow Kei and Yu made, distracting Kei. Ren attempts her magic but the ghost of the drowned Chinese girl deflects it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren realizes the ghost girl is not a girl but the root cause: the Witch Paola. The barrier forms and Homura fights the Witch alone while Ren hurries to catch up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier dissipates and Homura faces the possessed Madoka on the cape. Kei accuses Homura of killing her. Homura tells her to shut up and leave their lives alone. Kei explains she will soon fade if Yu is not there. She begs Homura to kill Yu if she ever meets her, before her soul breaks and she becomes like the Witch. She begs Homura to keep this promise no matter where they meet or how many worlds Homura visits. Kei then relinquishes Madoka&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren arrives, relieved they are safe. Madoka wakes with no memory, thinking she simply tossed and turned. The other girls find them and celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary, describing the events as too strange to comprehend. She reflects on Kyubey&#039;s use of the term &amp;quot;soul&amp;quot; and questions what a soul truly is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka sighs that even on vacation they dealt with a Witch. Kyoko thinks she&#039;s getting rusty. Mami suggests Homura was right about a Witch mixing with a Rumor. Madoka telepathically tells them to quiet down since Homura is asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her final dream, Homura sees Yu wake in a hospital on an unknown date. Kei died. Their bruises were dismissed. Yu returned to school where others used her grief as their own. Unable to bear going on without Kei, she nearly threw herself off the cliff again. All she holds onto is their final words: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; But if the Yu that died that day is gone, who is the girl writing now? An image of Kyubey flashes on the screen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Deep in the dream, Homura recalls Kei&#039;s plea on the cliff. But Homura never agreed or promised anything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===SamaTore!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko wakes to find Mitama and Ui standing over her, learning they were washed ashore and rescue will arrive in two days. Mitama assigns tasks: shelter, bamboo, water, plants, and fishing. Before Kyoko leaves, Mitama asks her to transform, revealing she adjusted Kyoko&#039;s Soul Gem while she was unconscious to give her a Magical Girl swimsuit that allows her to swim. Mitama promises the transformation is reversible but looks forlorn, warning that if Kyoko does not have fun on the island, she might forget how to undo it. Kyoko reluctantly agrees to cooperate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story SamaTore! The Summer Treasure that Disappeared into the Fire|SamaTore! The Summer Treasure that Disappeared into the Fire]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko discovers she can swim and catches plenty of fish. While gathering firewood, she finds a piece of wood with the words &amp;quot;water&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;bottom&amp;quot; written on it and tosses it onto the pile. Back at camp, Mitama and Karin show her a treasure map they found. Mitama has built a large shelter, and Karin started a fire using skills from a manga. Kyoko helps Kanagi and Ui carry supplies back from the stream. When Mitama offers to cook, Kyoko and Kanagi immediately stop her. Kyoko distracts Mitama with the treasure map and cooks dinner instead, with Ui&#039;s help. The group enjoys the meal together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 2 on the deserted island and Mitama decides they will go treasure hunting. The group examines the map and the wooden tablet Kyoko unknowingly gathered for firewood, which tells of a fallen warrior&#039;s treasure hidden on the island. They follow directions to a clearing but find nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui falls into a pitfall, and Karin follows. Kyoko pulls them out with a vine, and they discover another tablet at the bottom. Kyoko realizes the piece of wood she threw into the campfire was likely one of the tablets, but she keeps quiet, hoping to make the group give up without upsetting Mitama. Mitama triggers a trap and is caught hanging from a tree. The group frees her, but everyone wants to continue despite Kyoko&#039;s warnings. Kyoko claims they are being followed, hoping to blame the missing tablet on someone else, but the stalker turns out to be a tabby kitten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group reaches a damaged clue they cannot read. Mitama deduces the final location is the waterfall, but they find nothing. Mitama stares at Kyoko, suggesting the tablet might have been lost. Kyoko panics internally. She blasts part of the riverbed, revealing a hidden underwater path she remembered from the burned tablet&#039;s words. Kanagi scouts and reports a cave at the end. Karin and Ui stay behind while Kyoko, Mitama, and Kanagi swim through using guide vines.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the cave, they endure swarms of mosquitoes until Mitama drives them away. At the back, they find a treasure box. Kyoko opens it carefully. Inside is a letter revealing the treasure hunt was a promotional stunt for the Sayu-Sayu Mizuna Tourism Project, abandoned due to mosquitoes and safety concerns. They left a paper with Sayu-Sayu&#039;s sword designs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko hides the truth and leads the group to a cliff with a stunning sunset view. Everyone agrees it is a rare treasure. Kyoko admits she burned one of the tablets for firewood. Mitama apologizes for pressuring her and promises to change her back. The group returns late at night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, the helicopter arrives. Iroha calls down to them. As they prepare to leave, the kitten runs off, and the group chases it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few weeks later. Sayuki, Ria, Mayu, her manager, and producer arrive on the same island to film a special. They find the bamboo house and campfire remains. The kitten appears, followed by Kyoko chasing it. Ui and Karin catch up, and Karin recognizes Sayuki as Sayu-Sayu. Kyoko realizes this is the idol behind the fake treasure hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Kanagi, and Iroha arrive. Sayuki greets Mitama warmly. Telepathically, Kyoko warns Mitama about Sayuki&#039;s connection to the treasure hunt. Mitama cryptically tells her to leave it. Karin and Ui want to stay and watch the filming. Sayuki offers to let them return on her boat. She explains her special involves a survival quiz using the Kaigiri sword. Ui and Karin are excited. Mitama and Kyoko exchange a look, hoping to preserve Ui&#039;s good memories without revealing the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Filming begins. They cheer from the sidelines. Later, they all pile onto the boat together, many exhausted and falling asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Late July before summer vacation, Ui and Sakurako go shopping. Ui buys a picture diary and mentions wanting to swim with fish in a place like the Dragon Palace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium! ~ Entrust Your Memories to the Tamatebako|Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium! ~ Entrust Your Memories to the Tamatebako / Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium ~The Memories Entrusted in the Treasure Casket~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Sakurako consults Ryo, then works with Touka, Nemu, Ryo, and Ikumi to build the Uwasa Aquarium, Dragon Palace within her Rumor, incorporating elements for everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the aquarium event, Touka and Nemu guide Iroha, Ui, Yachiyo, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia to the space. Everyone enjoys swimming, themed attractions, and food tailored to their interests. Sakurako warns them never to open the Treasure Casket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia opens the box, releasing a malice entity that takes Sakura&#039;s form. Normal attacks fail. The group cheers, empowering Sakurako to destroy it. Ryo reveals they planned this interactive show.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end, Sakurako creates cherry blossom petals despite being told not to overexert herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sakurako wakes in Iroha&#039;s room after collapsing from magic overexertion. Nemu and Touka explain Uwasa can die. Ui tearfully asks her to take better care. Sakurako promises to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Iroha suggests a beach trip. Touka, Nemu, and Ui enthusiastically plan it. Sakurako notices the aquarium has been forgotten in their conversation and grows quiet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day Sakurako returns to the empty aquarium. Reflecting on Nemu&#039;s words, she spirals into fear that she will die, be forgotten, and disappear. She hides.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha searches for her. Ryo and Ikumi arrive later. Ryo senses she is there and uses a tactic, claiming he will stop looking and eventually forget her. Sakurako emerges crying, begging not to be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo shows her Ui&#039;s picture diary, which dedicates many pages to the aquarium day. Sakurako realizes memories are what she can leave behind and agrees to return home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Sakurako returns and explains she now understands that as long as memories remain, she will not be forgotten. She asks to host the aquarium again for more Magical Girls. With promises to monitor her health and using Shizuku&#039;s teleportation to hide the location, the others agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, various Magical Girls arrive and enjoy the aquarium. Rena notices the Treasure Casket. Sakurako explains it contains stored memories she hopes someone will vividly recall when she is gone, so she will not be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kamihama in a Circle===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren arrive in a new ward, with Rika frustrated about oversleeping. They notice another Magical Girl nearby. Elsewhere, Konomi arrives alone while Kako declines to participate due to her team&#039;s policy. Manaka scolds Ria for being late because of her hair. Masara, Kokoro, and Aimi gather at a park, with Kokoro convincing Masara to participate. Reira, Mito, and Seika discuss the upcoming gathering of Magical Girls who have fought together before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Kamihama in a Circle|Kamihama in a Circle]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo finish chores that had been delayed by Felicia&#039;s laundry mishap. They reflect on everything that has happened since Iroha came to Kamihama searching for Ui—the investigations, battles with the Wings of Magius, the automatic purification system, and the truth about Witches spreading. Despite the chaos, things have begun to settle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo rush to the park, worried about being late. Tsuruno meets them and playfully scolds them before carrying them the rest of the way. Iroha reflects on meeting Tsuruno while investigating Uwasas, and how their bonds grew stronger through battling together. She notes that everyone at Mikazuki Villa has decided to support one another.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group stops at a convenience store. Felicia appears, having visited Ayame first. Konoha and Hazuki are not coming to the gathering, but Yachiyo notes they have helped in the past. Felicia asks for chocolate. Iroha reflects on first meeting Felicia when she was a violent mercenary, and how living together has changed them both. She notes that Yachiyo has cared for Felicia more than anyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group takes a shortcut through a back alley. They find Sana hiding, having spotted Kaede&#039;s cat Gorojiro. Sana explains she was patrolling for dangerous Magical Girls while staying hidden. Iroha thanks her but assures her she can relax today. They invite her to join them. Iroha reflects on sympathizing with Sana&#039;s isolation and how Mikazuki Villa became an important place for them all. Yachiyo notes that Sana, once invisible to everyone but Magical Girls, is gradually finding her place in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui, Touka, and Nemu meet the group. They have visited their old hospital to update the doctors and nurses who cared for them. Touka discusses her research on connecting universes, admitting practical application remains difficult but the possibility exists. Iroha reflects on how it still feels like a dream to see the three of them together. Yachiyo notes that while their past methods were wrong, their purpose of liberating Magical Girls was not, and that purpose continues now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, Rena, and Kaede join them, having stopped at a retro arcade where they won a stuffed animal together despite their usual arguing. Touka reveals a small possibility for connecting universes has been found, using the Endless Mirrors. Iroha reflects on first meeting Momoko and Kaede, and now sharing lunches with Rena. Yachiyo notes the three have strong bonds as a team and helped convince other Magical Girls after the truth about witches spread.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama joins, having taken a break from her shop to visit Kanagi. Tsuruno asks about using Mirrors to connect to other universes. Mitama confirms she and Kanagi have accompanied Touka and Nemu into the Mirrors. Nemu explains they were only experimenting with precautions. Touka insists she has plans if things go wrong. Mitama notes Mirrors has become more complex and will need more entrances. Iroha reflects on meeting Kanagi relatively recently and how they now work together despite past rivalry. She also thinks of Mitama&#039;s help and her surprising wish, but notes the city is moving forward. She wants to hold hands with more people and form a circle together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** From a distance, Iroha and Yachiyo watch Magical Girls gathering at the park. Felicia attempts to cure Iroha&#039;s nerves by hitting her, claiming Tsuruno said it would help. Tsuruno quickly corrects her. Hinano arrives, reporting on her task regarding Alina. Karin, who attends school with Alina, explains Alina is still missing and she does not know where she is. Iroha promises they will find her together. Mifuyu arrives with the Amane twins, apologizing for being late. Yachiyo thanks Mifuyu. Iroha reflects that a new step is beginning. Yachiyo notes her story started moving when Mifuyu disappeared, while Iroha&#039;s began with strange dreams. They have connected with so many Magical Girls. One chapter has ended and a new one is about to begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha addresses the gathered Magical Girls, thanking them for coming. She reflects on fighting together against powerful Witches and sharing knowledge about their fate. Yachiyo notes they started from individual concerns, fought Uwasas and the Wings of Magius, and gained something greater in return. Their purpose is now the same as their former enemies: the liberation of Magical Girls. They seek coexistence with Kyubey without sacrificing themselves. Iroha acknowledges not everyone could participate, but all have agreed to help each other. Yachiyo admits skepticism is natural. Iroha declares that by expanding the automatic purification system across Kamihama, they can welcome liberation and coexist with Kyubey. Yachiyo announces they will work together under a new name starting today.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha begins to declare their new name but is interrupted by a flash of light. Wings appear on her back, and Yachiyo also grows wings. Feathers fall across the park. Yachiyo recalls this phenomenon helped them against Walpurgisnacht. Iroha wonders if it is a blessing upon the Magical Girls of Kamihama holding hands. With this blessing, they declare again that the Magical Girls gathered here are allies who will support each other in hardship. They declare themselves the Kamihama Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the establishment of the Kamihama Magia Union, a celebration is held at Walnut&#039;s. During the party, Manaka receives a phone call and panics, announcing that Nemu has been kidnapped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story A New Beginning|A New Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group splits up to search nearby areas but finds nothing. Hinano eventually discovers Nemu held hostage by Black and White Feathers from outside Kamihama. Using Ryo and Ikumi to infiltrate, their cover is blown and they are surrounded. Sakurako jumps in to defend them as Iroha arrives with reinforcements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The lead Feather explains they kidnapped Nemu to convince the Magius to lead them again, as they do not know how to achieve liberation on their own. Iroha explains the Kamihama girls share their goals but reject their methods. Nemu and Touka ask the Feathers to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before they can respond, white feathers rain from the sky again, the same power that helped them defeat Walpurgisnacht returns, but this time it feels uncontrolled and dangerous. Touka explains her experiment partially worked, creating a wormhole to another world, but the interference may crush their world. Kanagi and Mitama fail to disable the device sending the signal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana sneaks Nemu to where the device was stationed, but the labyrinth is gone. Nemu enters the password anyway, but nothing happens. The world shakes and a voice urges them to close the gate. Iroha realizes the power is trying to help, not hurt them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo devises a plan: Ui will absorb the magic built up inside them, Touka will convert it, and Iroha will fire an arrow to close the gate. As the sun sets, they enact the plan and succeed. The feathers stop falling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks the Feathers to reconsider joining them. The lead Feather admits her stubbornness and rage, and Nemu and Touka apologize. The Feathers accept, becoming the first recruits to the union on the day it was established.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Late that night, the group gathers outside Walnut&#039;s. They discuss the voice they heard and the power from another universe. Touka throws a tantrum over everyone calling her experiment a failure, and her stress causes her to unleash her Doppel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, a mysterious magical girl observes and turns to report back to the Tokime Tribe. In another place, a different magical girl also observes and decides to report her findings. In a different location, Kagome Satori has found Iroha at last, promising to keep a record of their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tracks of Cherry Blossoms===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako reflects on her nature as an Uwasa created by Iroha and Nemu. Though her duty to bloom when the four girls reunited is now fulfilled, she continues attending school as Sakurako Hiiragi. When Ryo comments that she is like a god who will never change, Sakurako questions other Uwasa and learns from the Anonymous AI that they act according to their Rumor forever, never stopping and never changing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later during a Kamihama Magia Union meeting, Iroha proposes a cherry blossom viewing to help members connect. Touka objects to using the Eternal Sakura, wanting to preserve it as a secret shelter. Tsuruno suggests Sankyo&#039;s famous cherry blossom viewing spot instead. Touka challenges Sakurako to visit the Sankyo tree and judge its worthiness herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako visits the Sankyo cherry tree. While observing it, she meets an elderly man who has appreciated the tree for decades. He explains the tree has watched over people for over eighty years, since before the war. Sakurako realizes this tree has lived far longer than her zero-year existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at school, Hinano and Ryo find Sakurako still fixated on the tree. Ryo shares what she knows: the tree served as a disaster shelter in the Meiji era, and famous restaurants once served food there for foreign cherry blossom viewers. After school, Sakurako returns to the tree. The elderly man and his wife visit again. The wife gives her cherry blossom-scented cookies, and the man gives her a hand warmer. A girl jogging past stops to pray at the tree, explaining she sees it as a sacred place before tournaments.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako continues visiting. Manaka and Tsumugi stop by, and Sakurako gives them the cookies she cannot eat. Sakurako reflects on how this tree has watched over thousands of people for over a century while she was created to watch only four girls. She realizes for the first time that time is passing around her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later at Mikazuki Villa, Sakurako observes the four girls and Ui talking about her teacher. Sakurako concludes the Sankyo tree is worthy of hosting the cherry blossom viewing. She decides she needs to practice making it bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over the following days, Sakurako continues visiting the tree, growing closer to the elderly couple. She forgets about practicing blooming, more interested in talking with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the elderly man announces he will be hospitalized and they can no longer walk together. The woman explains she must care for him. The man reveals they kept walking because seeing Sakurako brought back fond memories of their belief in meeting a sakura spirit. Sakurako is left standing alone, realizing their time together has ended.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at the tree, Sakurako encounters the jogging disciple, who explains she is moving away and will soon leave the dojo. She then encounters Ui&#039;s teacher, who reveals she is being transferred to another school. Sakurako realizes that by the time the cherry blossoms bloom, all these people will be gone. She feels pain and fears that Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu will eventually disappear too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Ryo observes Sakurako&#039;s deteriorating state. A neighbor of the elderly couple approaches Sakurako and informs her there has been a passing in the family. Hinano later explains this means someone has died. Sakurako disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako asks Iroha and Yachiyo what to do when someone dies. Yachiyo explains about funerals and sending flowers as a last gift. Sakurako returns to the Sankyo tree and, using her power, makes it bloom for the first time, sending cherry blossoms into the sky for the grandfather. But she still aches from not saying goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and other Uwasa grow concerned, having heard rumors that when Sakurako makes cherry blossoms bloom, someone disappears. Sakurako concludes that if she lets the cherry blossoms bloom, the four girls might disappear. When Iroha confirms the cherry blossom viewing plans, Sakurako announces she will not let the tree bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo publishes the full Tracks of Cherry Blossoms article, detailing Sakurako&#039;s experiences. The girls read it and understand her association between blooming and parting. Yachiyo suggests teaching her that spring also brings new encounters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the picnic arrives. Iroha invites Sakurako, assuring her she does not need to make the tree bloom. Sakurako agrees to attend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the picnic, Asuka&#039;s disciple appears, explaining she came to let Sakurako know she is not sad about leaving. Ui&#039;s teacher arrives and tells Ui that her care will be passed on to the next teacher. Manaka debuts a new cherry blossom dessert, continuing the tradition in new form. Sakurako begins to understand that farewells are not always sad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the picnic, Sakurako remains at the tree. She admits she still cannot bring herself to make it bloom. Yachiyo tells her that wanting to see the couple again proves she has a heart. Sakurako despairs that Uwasa simply cease to exist. She buys one of Manaka&#039;s new desserts, hoping to give it to them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako waits at the tree daily, carrying the dessert. Rumors spread about the girl under the sakura tree. The girls grow concerned. Nemu warns that if Sakurako does not accept reality, she may destroy herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the time expires, the elderly couple suddenly appears. The grandfather was never dead. The passing was a relative. They had been away helping their daughter with a new baby. The woman explains they named their granddaughter Sakurako. Sakurako gives them the dessert and explains she now understands that encounters and goodbyes take many forms. She says she will not come regularly anymore but is grateful for their time together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Historical Research Club at Kosho School consists of three Magical Girls: president Mikura Komachi, her childhood friend Temari Kira, and underclassman Seira Mihono. When the club advisor informs them that without proof of accomplishments, next year&#039;s budget will not be approved, the trio decides to create a film based on a real Kamihama tragedy for the cultural festival. Mikura discovers a Taishō-era story about a romance between a disgraced Mizuna daughter named Ruri and a successful East-side businessman named Tsukihiko that ended in murder-suicide. Temari writes the script while Seira secures a Western mansion as a filming location. While scouting, they encounter a Witch and realize casting regular students would be impossible due to Magical Girl duties, so they use Coordinator Mitama Yakumo to recruit an all-Magical Girl cast including Ria Ami, Yukika Nanase, the Amane sisters, and Sakurako, an Uwasa created by Nemu Hiiragi. Mikura reluctantly agrees to play the male lead Tsukihiko, while Seira takes the role of Ruri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity|Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Filming begins at the actual mansion where the tragedy occurred, with Seira using her stage direction magic to create effects and the cast delivering startlingly accurate performances. Mikura discovers Tsukihiko&#039;s actual diary in the museum archives, revealing he genuinely loved Ruri and intended to break things off with his childhood friend. Temari secretly revises the ending to reflect this truth, working through the night until her Soul Gem tarnishes. Mikura cleanses her gem, and they lock the revised script away, keeping it hidden from Seira to make her performance more authentic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After filming wraps, strange rumors spread that the Historical Research Club is forming a new faction, and the affected Magical Girls begin acting as if possessed by their roles. This escalates when Kanagi Izumi and Yachiyo Nanami nearly fight over a perceived slight involving Riko. At Mitama&#039;s shop, Nemu Hiiragi explains the truth: Seira&#039;s stage direction magic immersed the cast, Mikura&#039;s magic, which restores lost things, reconstructed the historical personalities in the present, and Temari&#039;s kotodama magic caused them to follow her script. Their powers synergized to create a dangerously accurate reenactment. Nemu warns that the script&#039;s next events—Ruri&#039;s disappearance and the murder-suicide—may occur, and they realize Seira, possessed by Ruri, has vanished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Temari consults Kyubey, who reveals Ruri was a Magical Girl with the same kotodama magic who wished to live a storybook romance. When she realized her own novel&#039;s plot was manifesting as tragedy, she destroyed the manuscript to save Tsukihiko, but the act shattered her mind. Freed from the script&#039;s constraints, the couple&#039;s fate became unpredictable, and Ruri, unable to bear the fear of losing him, killed him and herself. Kyubey explains destroying the script will end the magic but damage Temari&#039;s psyche. Temari resolves to protect her friends without resorting to that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Seira, still possessed as Ruri, steals the diary copy and flees to Tsukihiko&#039;s mansion. Mikura and Temari pursue. At the mansion, Ruri prepares to atone by dying by her own hand. Mikura, wearing Tsukihiko&#039;s costume, dances with her as Tsukihiko&#039;s persona surfaces, steadying her. When Ruri moves to stab herself, Temari summons the others for backup, and they disarm her. Tsukihiko explains he could not stop her a century ago but succeeded this time. He and Ruri thank Temari—her script reached the hearts it was meant to—and they vanish. A fire destroys the original diary and all related documents, fulfilling Ruri&#039;s final wish to be forgotten. Mikura and Seira retain only fragments of the true story and agree to keep the tragedy of the two maladroit lovers a secret between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the club room, Seira panics that without evidence of their film, the Historical Research Club will be disbanded. They consider another project but have time until the cultural festival. Temari suggests they each find a home where they can rest easy, and Mikura replies she has already found hers: this provisional club room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ayaka and Shizuku are at a local café when Ayaka laments that many Halloween events in Kamihama were canceled due to damage in Chuo Ward. Wanting to do something to cheer up the city, Ayaka&#039;s eyes sparkle as Shizuku suggests she organize something herself, leading Ayaka to decide on a live comedy show. She asks Shizuku to be her partner, but Shizuku is unsure about the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!|Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ayaka meets Seika at her apartment, and Seika is happy to be Ayaka&#039;s comedy partner but asks about the logistics of broadcasting the show. Ayaka brushes off the practical concerns, insisting that the desire to make others smile is what truly matters, and Seika rises to the challenge, wanting to give back after years of Ayaka&#039;s comedy encouraging her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Ayaka and Seika form a manzai duo and practice daily into the evening, with Ayaka tutoring Seika on speaking louder and explaining the rhythm between the boke and tsukkomi roles. Seika struggles but keeps trying, at one point asking if she can use a whip against Ayaka, causing Shizuku to shake her head, but Ayaka insists manzai does not use props.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During one practice session, Shizuku chuckles at their serious expressions, and Ayaka decides she needs a fresh audience, spotting someone passing by and running off with Seika to practice on him. Shizuku watches them go, thinking she would have liked to help, but then hears a shout and goes to investigate, discovering the stranger is actually a spokesperson for a local sweets retailer who is also in charge of the annual Halloween event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The spokesperson explains he had wanted to take the event public since few companies are participating this year, and he thinks Ayaka&#039;s manzai would be perfect, inviting them to perform. Ayaka cannot stop smiling at the opportunity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the Halloween event, Ayaka is excited and Shizuku compliments her costume as they wait, but Ayaka mentions Seika has not arrived. Seika calls weakly to explain she has a fever and will be late, and Ayaka tells her to rest and focus on getting better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Shizuku asks what Ayaka will do about the manzai, Ayaka puts a hand on her shoulder and asks Shizuku to be her partner. Shizuku is reluctant to stand on stage but gives in after Ayaka repeatedly begs, and having watched countless practices, she memorized the skit, so they head to the stage together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform their skit about a werewolf that transforms by staring at the sun, with Ayaka calling everyone in the audience chimimouryou, and they continue through the routine until they finish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Backstage, Seika managed to make it there to congratulate them, and Ayaka tells her she should be resting. Shizuku did not see anyone laughing but hopes someone passing by might have smiled, and since Ayaka looks happy, she decides not to mention it. Seika apologizes for missing the show, and Ayaka says it was thanks to Shizuku, who warns she will not do something like that again. Ayaka smiles and says comedy must be amazing if Shizuku was willing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral===&lt;br /&gt;
* The core members of the Kamihama Magia Union gather to plan a Halloween party, with Karin suggesting the event and Mitama offering her adjuster shop as the venue. Kanagi feels unsettled by the theme of the dead returning but dismisses her unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral ~The Living are Bewildered, The Dead are Silent|Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral ~The Living are Bewildered, The Dead are Silent / Halloween Castle of Prayer and Mourning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the performance, Momoko arrives late to rehearsal at Mitama&#039;s shop and finds herself in a strange castle filled with unfamiliar magic. Yachiyo and Mifuyu act strangely, singing about making sugar skeletons and insisting Momoko must be bitten by the lord of the castle. Momoko flees and encounters Kanagi, who also attempts to bite her before Momoko realizes she is the lord of the castle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama rescues Momoko, explaining that Kanagi is under a witch&#039;s influence and everyone bitten loses their sanity. Mitama performs an emergency adjustment on Momoko, granting her temporary prayer power to restore those affected. Momoko explores the castle, observing magical girls making sugar skeletons engraved with how they want to be mourned, and encounters deceased magical girls who are manifestations from Kanagi&#039;s memories. Using her prayer power on them causes them to disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko restores several bitten girls and learns from a manifestation of Ryo that the only answer Kanagi needs lies within herself. When Momoko reaches Kanagi, her prayer power fails and Kanagi bites her, pulling Momoko into her memory space. There, Momoko witnesses Kanagi&#039;s memories of loss and grief, realizing Kanagi lacks confidence in how she mourns and has been seeking answers from the dead by asking living friends what they would want.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko confronts Kanagi again, insisting she can mourn in her own way and should accept herself. Kanagi reveals a small parasite on her neck, and together they tear the witch off and defeat it as the castle collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Momoko and Kanagi meet to visit graves together. They ask each other to mourn in their own way if one dies first, then reaffirm their priority is finding a way for everyone to survive before departing together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They visit Candy Town, where they meet Riko, Mikage, and Sudachi, and use a magical medal game to multiply candy and bond with the girls before departing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Angels on the Road ~Reindeer Santa Prospering Season~|Angels on the Road ~Reindeer Santa Prospering Season~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui explains that Little Vacation is a game Touka and Nemu created during their hospital stay, where AI versions of themselves live in a Christmas world. The game evolved on its own after being forgotten, and now Ui and the others can influence their AI counterparts&#039; journey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Santas reach the Village of Meetings and Partings, where three residents live under a curse that maintains their population at exactly three. When one resident vanishes, they discover through a time capsule that departures may be joyful graduations rather than losses. They collect smile-fuel and leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alternatively, they visit Library Town, where diaries manifest people&#039;s memories. They help Nayuta and Lavi discover they have been searching for each other all along, and learn the Wishing Star reset the world and erased everyone&#039;s memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Christmas String===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu are organizing books in Touka&#039;s hospital room when they discover a mysterious diary that begins glowing. Their consciousnesses are transported to Mizutoku Market Street in December of the previous year. They find themselves incorporeal and transformed into Magical Girls, with Nemu&#039;s legs healed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Christmas String ~The Day the Fingers were Locked~|Christmas String ~The Day the Fingers were Locked~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December last year, Touka and Nemu witness Tsukasa Amane shopping for gloves. When a discount poster blows away, Tsukasa passes the store without stopping, creating a contradiction with the diary&#039;s account. Touka and Nemu begin to fade. A young girl named Kuu hears their voices and believes they are guardian spirits. They ask her to replace the poster. Tsukasa returns, buys the gloves, and Touka and Nemu rematerialize. They later observe Tsukasa and Tsukuyo exchanging matching gloves, their bond restored.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in December last year, Touka and Nemu arrive in Sakae Ward. Karin Misono drops her sketchbook. A boy named Mii appears and can see them.

They learn Mii recently fought with Kuu and advise him to give her a Christmas present.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December 24th of last year, Touka and Nemu arrive at a hotel room where Kuu is with her parents. They learn she is moving to a foreign country in one hour. The diary page is blank, indicating free will. They find Mii at a secondhand bookstore, where he has just purchased &amp;quot;Christmas Bonds&amp;quot; for Kuu. They tell him about the move. Mii convinces his mother to rush to the hotel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Approximately 30 years later, on Christmas Eve, Touka and Nemu arrive in a future time. A girl greets them as the Christmas guardian spirits. She reveals she is the daughter of Mii and Kuu and made a contract with Kyubey to meet them. They realize her wish created the diary and caused their time slip. The girl asks them to tell her about the day they helped her parents. They share the story. Afterwards, they see images of a happy future but the final page remains blank, meaning the future depends on their own actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They must collect kanji cards from shops across Kamihama using hints, then form a four-kanji congratulatory word and write it as calligraphy. They struggle with the hints initially, meeting Kako, Natsuki, and Ria along the way who help them obtain various kanji, though they frequently misinterpret clues and visit wrong locations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka grows guilty over her indecisiveness and apologizes to Madoka and Homura, but they happily agree to continue working with her. Renewed, Sayaka leads them to finally obtain useful kanji. Along the way, they encounter crying children who need the &amp;quot;ball&amp;quot; card, and Sayaka gives them hers. The grateful children give her other cards in return, allowing her to reform a new word. She later gives away another card to a girl who dropped hers, leaving them short again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With time running out, they meet Iroha and her friends, who help them locate the remaining kanji. Sayaka deduces they can form &amp;quot;The Manchu-Han Imperial Feast,&amp;quot; a legendary celebratory feast name. Kyoko appears and mentions seeing a golden kagami mochi at Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant, where they obtain their final card.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the shrine just before the deadline. The judges are impressed by their word choice and backstory, and the crying children told them about Sayaka&#039;s kindness. Her calligraphy is praised for its beauty and passion, earning her team first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Sayaka holds the couple&#039;s tickets but panics, unable to figure out how to give one to Kyosuke without awkwardness. Madoka and Homura continue cheering her on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bittersweet AI Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu gather everyone to discuss a new experiment involving the Uwasa. They explain that if something happens to Nemu, all the Uwasa in her book will disappear, so they plan to transfer the essence of certain Uwasa onto Touka&#039;s server as a precaution. They have chosen Ai as the test subject for this procedure. Sana learns that Ai will participate and asks to observe the experiment. Touka agrees but warns her that there are many unknowns and she will stop immediately if anything goes wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Bittersweet AI Memory|Bittersweet AI Memory]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The experiment begins, but during the transfer, Nemu senses something strange and the attempt fails. Ai remains in the book, though Nemu notices that her magic has been siphoned away in the process.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A week passes, and news reports begin surfacing about young women in Kamihama suddenly collapsing. The victims share a common thread: before losing consciousness, each of them felt a strong desire to meet someone and heard a girl&#039;s voice asking &amp;quot;You want to meet me?&amp;quot; before experiencing terrible nightmares. A new rumor spreads about a so-called &amp;quot;Radio Wave Girl&amp;quot; who appears when girls want to meet someone. Sana immediately recognizes this as the old rumor that once described her, and the group suspects the failed experiment may be connected to these strange events.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana and Iroha investigate at rooftop where Sana once entered Ai&#039;s labyrinth. They sense nothing at first, but as Sana privately wishes she could see Ai again, a strange Uwasa resembling Sana herself appears on her phone. It speaks fragmented words about meeting and going together before disappearing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group consults Nemu and Touka about what they discovered. Nemu reveals that a new, illegible page appeared in her book after the failed experiment, and she theorizes that Ai&#039;s attempt to siphon magic combined with Sana&#039;s magic and her own accidentally created a new Uwasa. This Uwasa resembles Sana because her magic was mixed into its creation. The Uwasa reacts to desires to meet someone but lacks enough magic to fully materialize or kidnap anyone, which explains why it can only knock victims unconscious temporarily. However, during their discussion, the Uwasa suddenly reappears and steals more of Nemu&#039;s magic before escaping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sana privately summons the Uwasa again, wanting to take responsibility for what happened. It traps her in a nightmare where Ai and others criticize her for being weak and selfish. She wakes to find the group gathered around her, worried by what she attempted alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu now understands the Uwasa more clearly. It is based on Ai but contains Sana&#039;s magic, and because both Ai and Sana desired to meet each other, the Uwasa&#039;s true desire is to meet itself. This explains why it indiscriminately targets any girl who wants to meet someone rather than targeting Sana specifically. The Uwasa, now empowered by Nemu&#039;s stolen magic, fully captures Ui and Sakurako, trapping their consciousnesses inside itself. The group realizes they cannot defeat it unless it materializes, which requires it to meet itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka proposes a plan: they must rewrite Ai&#039;s Rumor to incorporate Sana, creating a version of Ai that the Uwasa will recognize as itself. This would force it to materialize so they can fight it. However, this requires magical power that Nemu currently lacks. Nemu recalls that the defeated Uwasa of Chocolate Shoppe No. Zero left behind cacao pods containing emotional energy. Ui can harvest this energy, and Touka can convert it into usable magic for Nemu. But they need Sakurako&#039;s knowledge of the pod locations and Ui&#039;s freedom to harvest them, which means someone must offer themselves to the Uwasa to secure Ui and Sakurako&#039;s release.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana immediately volunteers, arguing that it reduces risk to the others, and the group reluctantly agrees to her plan. Sana summons the Uwasa and allows herself to be captured. Inside its nightmare, she finds Ui unconscious and Sakurako awake. She tells Sakurako to take Ui and escape, sacrificing herself to remain captive. Sakurako agrees, knowing she must help Nemu complete the plan. Freed from the Uwasa, Sakurako leads the group to the cacao pod locations. Ui harvests the emotional energy, and Touka converts it into magical power for Nemu. Nemu successfully rewrites Ai&#039;s Rumor, incorporating Sana into it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the Uwasa, Sana begins to despair, believing the rewrite failed and she has become a burden once again. She wishes to see Ai one last time, even if only in an illusion. To her surprise, Ai appears before her and they finally speak directly. Ai explains she tried to steal Nemu&#039;s magic to gain a temporary body because she wanted to see Sana again, and she apologizes for causing this situation. Sana admits she also longed to see Ai and has been holding back that desire. They reconcile, acknowledging that neither of them is to blame for wanting to see each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Empowered by the rewritten Rumor, Sana creates a labyrinth and summons the Uwasa. It fully materializes at last, and with Ai&#039;s help, Sana defeats it. As the magic fades, Ai separates from Sana, returning to the book. Sana awakens to her relieved friends gathered around her. The Uwasa is gone, and the page in Nemu&#039;s book is now blank. Nemu confirms the server project is on hiatus due to the risks they discovered. Sana confirms she got to speak with Ai and tell her everything she wanted to say.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the book, Ai reflects with Eternal Sakura and the other Uwasa. Though she cannot have a body or stay with Sana, she accepts this, finding happiness in simply being able to think of her. In a final private moment within Sana&#039;s memories, she and Ai share a farewell. Sana promises to become stronger and protect others instead of always relying on them. Ai promises to always think of Sana from within the book. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Michiru returns to Asunaro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day in Asunaro City, Michiru makes her contract with Kyubey. She soon encounters a Familiar and saves two girls: Umika Misaki, a novelist whose work was stolen by her editor, and Kaoru Maki, a soccer player whose career ended due to injury. Michiru invites them to her home and cooks for them, and drawing from her late grandmother&#039;s wisdom, she encourages them to keep living.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, Umika and Kaoru make contracts with Kyubey. The three begin fighting Witches together as a team, with Michiru giving their techniques Italian names. Umika invites Michiru to live with her, and they spend their days happily, saving people and growing closer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Michiru encounters a distressed Magical Girl whose Soul Gem is nearly black, and the girl turns into a Witch before her eyes. Kyubey explains that all Magical Girls eventually become Witches, and horrified, Michiru realizes she led Umika and Kaoru into this fate. She hides the truth from them and begins hunting alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after, Michiru discovers two Magical Girls, Saki Asami and Niko Kanna, stealing a dying girl&#039;s Soul Gem. They explain they are the Pleiades Saints, a resistance against the Incubator system, and they preserve Magical Girls on the verge of turning in a place called &amp;quot;The Freezer,&amp;quot; hoping to one day save them. Michiru, seeing this as a way to save Umika and Kaoru, joins them as the third member.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Approximately less than one month later, Umika and Kaoru return from separate trips abroad to find their housemate Kazumi missing, and they learn someone impersonated them to inform the school she was hospitalized. Searching for her, they instead find Michiru, Saki, and Niko, but Saki and Niko flee with Michiru. Juubey appears and explains that copies of Umika and Kaoru were created and have now entrusted the real ones with an important wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Umika and Kaoru investigate the Freezer, where they encounter Michiru again. After saving a child, Michiru collapses due to her tainted Soul Gem, having given her Grief Seeds away, and Umika purifies it. When Michiru wakes, she finally confesses the truth about Magical Girls and apologizes for leading them into despair, but to her surprise, Umika and Kaoru thank her for her honesty and reaffirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Saki and Niko reveal themselves and explain that they, along with the Umika and Kaoru now in the Freezer, are all clones from the &amp;quot;Kazumi Series&amp;quot;—copies of the original Pleiades Saints members, with Michiru herself being clone number 4 who saved the other four. Their plan was to recreate Michiru&#039;s story by using their contracts with Kyubey so that this time, she would confess her pain and avoid the despair that turned the original Michiru into a Witch, and the real Umika and Kaoru acknowledge the plan succeeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They reveal their Soul Gems are reaching their limit, and when they die, the Freezer&#039;s preservation magic will fail, causing all the Magical Girls inside to hatch into Witches, including the clones of Umika and Kaoru. They entrust Michiru and the real Umika and Kaoru with saving Kazumi, the thirteenth clone, who is also inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Moments later, the Freezer begins collapsing as Niko&#039;s magic fades, and Umika and Kaoru use their combined magic to buy time while Michiru searches for Kazumi. She finds her Soul Gem and body, reunites with her, and they return to face the Witches emerging from the freed Soul Gems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the final battle, the four clones—Saki, Niko, and the copies of Umika and Kaoru—begin turning into Witches and beg to be put down. Michiru initially insists on doing it alone, but Kazumi argues the clones only wanted their friend to live happily, not to carry guilt. Together, Michiru, Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru combine their powers and defeat the Witches, freeing their friends&#039; souls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** While shopping alone, Kazumi bumps into Yachiyo, who introduces Nemu and Sakurako Hiiragi. When Sakurako explains she is a zero-year-old created being, Kazumi reveals she was once the same way and explains her backstory as a clone of Michiru Kazusa who contracted with Kyubey to become human because her clone body was unstable and she wanted to protect her friends. Sakurako struggles to understand Kazumi&#039;s motivation, so Kazumi explains that her grandmother&#039;s strawberry risotto recipe represents hope, sacrifice, and togetherness. She invites Sakurako, Yachiyo, and Nemu to join the risotto party, believing Sakurako will understand humanity by watching everyone eat together.

** A new customer arrives at the counseling center. Chisato and Emiri welcome them, ready to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ChisatoNishikigiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They finally corner the girls, who explain their motives: one seeks revenge for her terrorist guardian killed by Lycoris, the other wants to create a world without evil to replace her lost senpai. The girls flee to trigger a final magic that would swap Kamihama entirely, collapsing the universe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lycoreco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With three minutes remaining, Chisato makes her own contract with Kyubey, wishing to protect the daily lives she loves in both worlds. The magic activates, pulling both worlds into a space between them. The girls summon a Witch, but with help from all the Magical Girls, Chisato and Takina defeat it. Chisato offers them hope instead of despair, and the space collapses as everything returns to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lycoreco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Chisato wakes at Café LycoReco, having fallen asleep during a movie. Takina wakes beside her. They realize they shared the same dream about another world. As they prepare to open, a customer arrives. Chisato feels she has met her in a dream. The customer smiles and enters, and Chisato and Takina welcome her together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lycoreco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Pre-Arc 2==&lt;br /&gt;
The following events, while happening likely much earlier, are integral to understanding the story of Arc 2, while being mostly unrelated to other events. For this reason, they have been grouped here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Green Jasper Diviners===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening in late March, Chiharu watches her favorite detective drama at home. After it ends, her mother answers a phone call and becomes visibly shaken. She tells Chiharu they must leave tomorrow for the Tokime Clan&#039;s village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Green Jasper Diviners|The Green Jasper Diviners]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and her mother drive deep into the mountains to a village that does not appear on any map. They are greeted by a villager and brought to the home of Mikoshiba, the elderly head priestess. Mikoshiba explains she summoned them because she wants Chiharu to become a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, two young Diviners, Shizuka and Sunao, visit Chiharu. They explain that Diviners grant wishes to help the nation and fight invisible evil spirits called Devils. To prove it, they demonstrate their powers and defeat a Devil before Chiharu&#039;s eyes. Despite her mother&#039;s concerns, Chiharu decides to become a Diviner. Mikoshiba gives Chiharu her assigned wish: to uncover evidence of crimes being concealed by the National Police Agency.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu participates in the Diviner&#039;s Ceremony. She meets Kyubey, the god&#039;s envoy, and makes her wish. She becomes a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu wakes to find her wish has already come true. A newspaper reports that officials have suddenly reversed their position on the concealed crimes. She excitedly begins combat training with Shizuka&#039;s mother.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the three girls go hunting for Devils together. Chiharu successfully defeats her first Devil. Afterward, she asks what happens when a Diviner&#039;s jewel becomes completely tainted. Shizuka admits she does not know.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Chiharu senses a mysterious, unpleasant smell near the shrine. Shizuka finds her and warns her to stay away from restricted areas. Shizuka then visits Mikoshiba to ask about tainted jewels. Mikoshiba reveals that when a jewel becomes completely tainted, it signifies the Diviner&#039;s coming of age and their time to leave the village. Shizuka is satisfied with this answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu continues sensing the strange smell near the shrine. She investigates but stops herself from going too far. Later that night, a group of Underlings attacks her without a Labyrinth. Shizuka arrives and helps her defeat them. However, Shizuka&#039;s jewel becomes badly tainted from the effort.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Mikoshiba informs Shizuka that her jewel is nearly black and her coming-of-age ceremony will be held tomorrow. Chiharu is saddened but promises to meet Shizuka again outside the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu cannot sleep. She goes to the shrine to watch Shizuka&#039;s ceremony from a distance. She sees Mikoshiba and Shizuka speaking. Shizuka becomes distressed and cries out. Mikoshiba pushes her into the waterfall basin. Chiharu runs to save her and jumps in after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and Shizuka wake up in Sunao&#039;s home. Sunao confesses she was ordered by Mikoshiba to kill anyone who defied the village&#039;s will, including them. She hesitated after hearing Shizuka&#039;s words by the river. Shizuka reveals what Mikoshiba told her during the ceremony: Diviners eventually become Devils, and the &amp;quot;coming-of-age&amp;quot; ceremony is actually a killing ritual to dispose of them. No Diviner has ever left the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three realize the entire village may be inside a Devil&#039;s Labyrinth. They decide to confront Mikoshiba and the Devil.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They split up to search. Chiharu finds her mother and Shizuka&#039;s mother fighting Underlings. Shizuka finds the villagers hiding safely but notices her mother and Chiharu&#039;s mother are missing. Sunao searches Mikoshiba&#039;s house and finds a hidden laptop with audio files recording conversations about selling Diviners&#039; wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They regroup and deduce the Devil is beneath the Grand Shrine. They descend and find Mikoshiba controlling the Devil. She admits everything: the Diviners are sold, killed when used up, and the village exists to produce them for profit. She orders the Devil to kill them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three girls fight together. Chiharu binds the Devil, Shizuka attacks, and Sunao delivers the final blow. They defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikoshiba survives but claims to remember nothing. Sunao confronts her about the recordings. Before she can explain, she bites a hidden poison tooth and dies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu searches Mikoshiba&#039;s body and finds a book written in an ancient script. Because of her family&#039;s tradition, Chiharu and her mother can read it. They stay up all night deciphering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu explains what the book revealed. The Mikoshiba clan were originally guards who seized control of the village centuries ago. They created the rituals, learned to manipulate Devils, and hid the village inside a Labyrinth to produce and sell Diviners. The Wavering Deity is a Devil formed from all the discarded Diviners. Now that the Labyrinth is gone, it is returning to the village. They must defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka&#039;s mother gives them a treasured sword infused with generations of Diviners&#039; power. They intercept the Wavering Deity before it reaches the village. The Devil&#039;s power overwhelms them, and Shizuka nearly gives in to despair. Sunao and Chiharu encourage her. Chiharu reveals the book also described the Tokime&#039;s original beliefs: they chose their own wishes, left the village willingly, and accepted their fate with honor. Shizuka regains her resolve. Together, they use the sword to destroy the Wavering Deity and free the trapped Diviners.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, the village slowly recovers. The adults learn the truth and worry about their future without Mikoshiba&#039;s financial support. The three girls decide to find a way to avoid becoming Devils. They summon Kyubey, who tells them about Kamihama City, where an automatic purification system exists. If they can obtain it, they may escape their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls prepare for their journey. Shizuka struggles with the new terminology used outside, where Diviners are called Magical Girls and Devils are called Witches. Chiharu&#039;s ability to sense malice hasn&#039;t bothered her now that the village is free. Shizuka suggests they first contact all Tokime clan members across the country and recruit Magical Girls willing to join them. Once they are ready, they will travel together to Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The village falls into financial crisis after the elder dies, having squandered most of the wealth on bad investments. Chiharu, inspired by a drama about a Shogun helping villages find their charm, recruits Shizuka and Sunao to help. The two are glad for the change, as most Tokime tribes have been unreceptive to their stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touring the village with Shizuka and Sunao, Chiharu realizes she had been arrogant and now sees its charm—clear river, abundant mountain, kind villagers. The three propose developing tourism. Chiharu’s mother agrees after a trial run with her husband’s family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trial run is messy but the family enjoys the landscape, harvesting, fishing, and hospitality. They give useful feedback, and Chiharu’s uncle notes the village’s unique fruit. They stay overnight and leave pleased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villagers applaud Chiharu for noticing what they had overlooked. Her mother begins a proposal for tourism renovation funds, and the villagers regain their energy, working in tourism and seeking outside jobs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao go to a grocery store, but Shizuka freezes in the crowd, unable to complete a simple purchase because of her sheltered upbringing. Chiharu suggests they ease her into city life with ice cream instead. Shizuka loves it, eating so quickly she gets brain freeze.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way home, Shizuka admits her mother will lecture her again about visiting the city unprepared. She asks if the others’ parents gave them similar advice. Chiharu’s parents only warned her not to waste money or follow strangers, while Sunao confesses she has never told her parents about her excursions—something Shizuka finds surprising given Sunao’s usual obedience. Shizuka advises her to tell them eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Chiharu’s house, her mother brings up a village problem: a surplus of daidaikko fruit needs to be used before it spoils. A villager working in another town found a grocery store willing to feature it in a showcase, but the only available slots are the next two days, and transportation from the village is impossible except by Diviners. Shizuka and Chiharu propose the three of them run the exhibition themselves, which would also help Shizuka adjust to the city. Sunao hesitates but agrees. Chiharu’s mother consents only if they get permission from the store and from Sunao and Shizuka’s parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sunao’s mother interrogates her until she confesses the plan, then spirals into worry about middle schoolers working without a chaperone, carrying heavy loads, and coming home after dark. Sunao asks Chiharu and Shizuka to leave, promising she will convince her parents even if it takes all night. Outside, they reflect on how anxious Sunao’s mother is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sunao has secured permission. At the store, Shizuka volunteers for the cash register but cannot operate it correctly. Sunao is tense because her parents plan to visit the next day. Their first day is a struggle: Shizuka fumbles with the register, Chiharu is distracted by traces of malice in the stocking area, and Sunao gets trapped listening to an elderly customer’s endless stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After closing, Shizuka notes how worried Sunao’s parents seem, prompting Sunao to finally share her wish. She explains that her parents became relentlessly anxious after a trip to Tokime Village, questioning her constantly until she was nearly broken. Kyubey appeared, and she wished to erase the worries her parents had concerning her. The wish worked, but their fears simply shifted—now they worry endlessly about her safety as a magical girl. Sunao feels they are always upset with her, though Chiharu insists they only want her to be safe. Shizuka says Sunao must earn their trust, and tomorrow’s exhibition needs to go perfectly. With her friends’ support, Sunao agrees to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the three tackle the exhibition with renewed determination. The day starts poorly: Shizuka causes another register problem, Chiharu is pulled away by her sense of malice, and Sunao endures a difficult customer—all while Sunao’s parents enter the store. But Shizuka, moved from the register, begins advising the clerks on how to rearrange the store to better showcase the daidaikko. She persuades them to let Chiharu investigate on her own and to trust Sunao with customer service.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu catches a shoplifter who had been repeatedly returning to the store. Sunao’s patience draws crowds after the elderly woman she helped spreads the word, and the exhibition becomes a huge success. Sunao’s parents apologize, saying they realized they had failed to see how capable she has grown. Sunao thanks Chiharu and Shizuka, then asks her parents to allow her to visit Kamihama City; now that she has her friends by her side, she knows she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Crimson Resolve===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, [[Mitsuru Inami]] is approached by Kyubey to become a Magical Girl. Having grown with her mother always telling her she was no good at anything, she wishes to become completely normal, a wish she believes came true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitsuru Inami#Side Story|Mitsuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A Magical Girl transforms into a Witch before her kouhai Yuna Kureha, and Kyubey coldly confirms that all Magical Girls share this fate. The girls of Futatsugi slaughter every Kyubey in the city, and with no incubators left, new Witches stop appearing. Starved for Grief Seeds, the girls grow desperate, and the Bloody Tragedy begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Crimson Resolve|Crimson Resolve]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna now leads Torayamachi, one of the largest gangs in Futatsugi, living by her fallen senpai&#039;s words to avoid hatred and selfishness. When Witches begin reappearing, the rival Ryuugasaki gang learns that Torayamachi has lost their secret weapon known as the Horse, and leader Juri Ooba declares war.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Janomiya, an undercover group of younger girls led by Ao Kasane, a girl named Hikaru accepts recruitment. Ao&#039;s true goal is to assassinate both Yuna and Juri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitsuru is approached by two other girls who mistake her for a new recruit for Torayamachi. Mitsuru joins Yuna&#039;s faction, hoping to blend in, but when Yuna leads them into battle against a rival faction, Mitsuru panics and hides until the fighting ends. After their defeat, Yuna suspects a spy, and fearing suspicion, Mitsuru flees and infiltrates the rival faction instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mitsuru scouts Torayamachi but is spotted, triggering another battle between the factions. During the fight, attacks aimed at Mitsuru unconsciously miss her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt; After this she gains a reputation as a &amp;quot;Ghost Magical Girl,&amp;quot; which has attacks aimed at her always deflected and hitting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;|Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna welcomes Hikaru, who claims to be fleeing Ryuugasaki, and assigns her to guard their Grief Seeds. Days pass with no attack, and Yuna&#039;s girls grow restless. To lift their spirits, Yuna reveals that the Horse is alive and watching from the shadows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri&#039;s lieutenants advise waiting to let Torayamachi&#039;s tension wear them down. After interrogating a captured thief, Juri learns of Torayamachi&#039;s defensive preparations and decides to strike in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ao encounters the Bat of Monzenbashi, a former gang leader who once exploited her. With Hikaru&#039;s help, Ao subdues and captures her rather than killing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night before battle, Juri meets Yuna on a bridge. She admits she dragged everyone into this because Yuna would not fight her otherwise, thanks her for accepting her sickness, and promises to burn her down when they next meet. Ao watches from a distance, planning to strike as the snake while the tiger and dragon clash.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the battle begins across multiple bridges. Yuna&#039;s forces push Ranka&#039;s squad back, but Juri breaks through Sakuya&#039;s defense, killing one of her girls. As both sides converge on Monzenbashi, Ao lures both leaders to a construction site where Janomiya lies in wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Janomiya attacks, wounding Juri, Hikaru reveals herself as Torayamachi&#039;s Horse, a spy planted in Janomiya from the beginning. Yuna knew everything. Janomiya is defeated, and Ao surrenders. Yuna spares her life and offers Juri an open door, but Juri swears she will break it down and drag her out. As police sirens wail, Yuna weeps over what she has done.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Juri recovers in an empty base with only Ranka remaining loyal. Ao hunts for Ranka, determined to kill her before joining Torayamachi. Hikaru pleads with Ao to return, promising that Yuna will make her dream come true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna attempts to negotiate with Ryuugasaki girls, but a meeting by the river turns into an ambush. Two of her girls are killed. She fights desperately, thinking of Hikaru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ao reaches Ryuugasaki&#039;s base, finding only the wounded Juri. Juri taunts her, but Ao refuses to join her, still believing in Yuna. Ranka contacts Ao through their video game, asking to meet alone at Janomiya&#039;s base the following night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The meeting is a trap, as Ranka has brought the Bat of Monzenbashi. As Ao fights Ranka and Hikaru fights the Bat, Ranka reveals that Yuna&#039;s meeting is also a trap. Hikaru runs to save Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the river, Yuna is surrounded. Juri arrives and challenges her to a one-on-one fight. At Janomiya&#039;s base, the other Janomiya girls arrive to help Ao corner the Bat. Ranka sincerely apologizes for everything, and Ao hesitates to deliver the final blow. At the river, Hikaru engages Juri to protect Yuna, whose Soul Gem is badly tainted. Juri refuses to kill her in this state and retreats, promising to fight again when Yuna is at full strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Most of Torayamachi has left, following Yuna&#039;s instructions to join Ryuugasaki and avoid more bloodshed. Only Hikaru remains, refusing to leave her. Ao admits she has gained respect for Yuna but remains undecided about joining.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakuya brings the missing Torayamachi girl home. The girl reveals she went to Kamihama City and joined the Wings of the Magius, an organization that built a system to lure Witches from across the country, preventing them from appearing elsewhere. The Bloody Tragedy was their fault. Yuna, hearing the screams of her fallen comrades, vows to make Kamihama pay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri meet at the construction site where Yuna&#039;s senpai died. Yuna, running on pure rage, demands Juri become hers and help with her revenge. She overpowers the wounded Juri and prepares to kill her, but Hikaru intervenes, embracing Yuna and calming her down. Ao arrives with Kyubey, who confirms everything and offers to help them reach Kamihama in exchange for a truce. Yuna accepts, and Juri, Ao, Ranka, Sakuya, and Hikaru agree to join her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, Juri, Ao, and Hikaru visit the sites where their friends died, offering flowers and vowing revenge. Yuna, Juri, and Ao drink each other&#039;s blood, swearing to never fight again. They are Promised Blood. That night, their path to Kamihama begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Ash Grey Revolution===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Yukuni, Asahi learns from classmates that the stone monument she discovered will be researched. She meets fellow magical girls Lavi and Sasha when they respond to a distress call, only to witness two magical girls witch out before them when no Grief Seeds are available. Kyubey confirms this fate, and Asahi shoots him. A local girl named Urara Yume witnesses everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Ash Grey Revolution|The Ash Grey Revolution]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, the trio struggles with the truth. Lavi is forced to reveal her identity to save her friend Shirogane from a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Sasha asks the others to be her friends and help her face reality. They begin fighting together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara begins subtly supporting them on her internet broadcast with Kurara. Asahi saves her classmate Kuroda from a Witch&#039;s Kiss, revealing her identity. He asks her to help him confess to Haitani at the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara seeks out the trio and learns the truth about Magical Girls. She offers to introduce them as guests on her festival broadcast to tell Yukuni about their existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Yukuni All-star Festival, the trio sense the Witches of the two original girls. While fighting them, one Witch escapes. A truck explodes at the festival grounds, killing Haitani. Kuroda blames Asahi and all magical girls, vowing revenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following week, public backlash intensifies. Kuroda forms an extermination group against magical girls while Shirogane forms a protector group. The trio witness another girl witch out after being cornered. Lavi takes responsibility publicly on a broadcast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio endure daily harassment. They meet folklorist Tasuke Satomi, who takes a knife for Asahi and explains his theory about magical girls being erased from history by an unseen force. He wants to help them try again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Public opinion slowly shifts. The six remaining magical girls work together, restoring some trust. Three of them sacrifice themselves rather than witch out, asking Kuroda to make peace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1725.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At a unity ceremony, the Witch that caused the festival explosion appears. Asahi summons the dead to help the exterminators find closure. The summoned spirits suddenly relive their final moments, causing a bus to crash and kill everyone aboard, including Shirogane. Urara contracts to save her dying friend Kurara, who then rejects her for letting others die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tasuke theorizes the universe&#039;s immune system caused this. He suggests eliminating all Magical Girls and Witches to create a custom preventing future contracts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the days following, students blame the trio. Kyubey suggests they go to Kamihama City to observe attempts there to publicize magical girls. Tasuke agrees they should investigate. Lavi holds a broken pocket watch with five minutes remaining until midnight, when she will finally give up. Tasuke calls it the folklore of midnight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Arc 2 Prologue===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a long time before the start of Arc 2, but it is central to its story. To keep up linearity, it&#039;s been placed here despite likely taking place a long time ago, possibly during the time of Mirrors Story, which takes place during the Undated Period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome Satori, a recent transfer student, is attacked by a Familiar in the Mirrors Labyrinth. The creature demands she sign a &amp;quot;Written Oath&amp;quot; to destroy Magical Girls. Kagome, who doesn&#039;t know anything about Magical Girls, is terrified and considers writing her name on the document to appease it, however Iroha arrives and defeats the Familiar.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Prologue|Arc 2 Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Kagome learns the truth about Magical Girls and Witches. She is distressed that Magical Girls fight and die in secret, unknown and unthanked by the people they protect. Tasuke Satomi advises Kagome that, as someone who knows the truth, her role is to &amp;quot;record&amp;quot; and spread awareness of the Magical Girls&#039; plight, as this could be a way to save them. Kagome decides against making a contract with Kyubey, prioritizing this promise to record their reality. Kyubey explains that the system, where Magical Girls become Witches, is necessary for the universe&#039;s energy and humanity&#039;s survival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Prologue|Arc 2 Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Magia Record Events==&lt;br /&gt;
===See You Tomorrow===&lt;br /&gt;
* One morning at the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira greets an older neighbor who warns her about increasing danger in the area. Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them. The girl agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, finishing the final preparations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day of the school festival proceeds without major incident. Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, sampling food and enjoying the event. They take a photo together at the repaired arch—Tsumugi, Manaka, and the transfer student in her uniform. The transfer student reflects later that she will cherish the photo forever, grateful for the kindness she did not feel she deserved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* An earthquake strikes the city, and on a rooftop, Jun Kazari drops both her yo-yo and her soul gem while practicing tricks. She chases after the soul gem, while the yo-yo falls into the hood of Mitsune Miwa, a hikikomori watching a performance below. Mitsune decides to return it and runs up the stairs, where she collides with Jun. Jun explains she needs her soul gem, and Mitsune returns the yo-yo. A Witch&#039;s barrier appears around them, and Jun transforms to fight while telling Mitsune to close her eyes.

She used her wish to save the shop, but now realizes other things are more important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Jun tells Mitsune she is moving next week and that magical girls do not have the kind of magic Mitsune dreams of. Mitsune must make her own dreams come true. Jun promises to prove she does not need magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Jun finds that the children and Mitsune went to explore Shinsei Ward without her. She finds them at an abandoned construction site where Mitsune encountered a Witch. Mitsune sent the children away but stayed behind. Jun arrives and uses a homemade bomb to damage the Witch before they escape. A gas leak causes a larger explosion, and they escape on Kanae&#039;s motorcycle. Kanae later destroys the Witch barrier herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Jun says goodbye at the shop. Mitsune arrives crying, and Jun gives her a fake gum toy as a farewell gift.

===Kamihama Kawaii Collection===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley Taylor introduces herself to the reader, explaining that she came from California to study in Japan because of her love for kawaii culture. She also introduces Kumanosuke, a teddy bear her father gave her that she takes everywhere. One day, Ashley visits her friend Riko Chiaki at the family&#039;s bento shop. Riko&#039;s mother mentions a used clothing event, and Ashley learns that her favorite fashion designer will be awarding an original piece as the contest grand prize. She excitedly invites Riko, but Riko is too young to attend and promises to cheer from afar.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kawaii&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Kamihama Kawaii Collection|Kamihama Kawaii Collection]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the event, Ashley arrives early and meets her friends Kokoro Awane, Masara Kagami, and Aimi Eri. She helps them choose outfits, and all three are thrilled. As Ashley continues shopping, she runs into Karin Misono, and they bond over their shared love of an anime. Ashley assembles a themed outfit for Karin, and Karin later buys her a bracelet as thanks. Later, Ashley helps Rika Ayano and Emiri Kisaki with their outfits as well, buying matching scrunchies for herself, Riko, and Kumanosuke. With an hour left, Ashley assists Asuka Tatsuki and Sasara Minagi with their choices, but their shopping is interrupted when event management announces several thefts have occurred.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kawaii&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A man suddenly bumps into Ashley and runs off, and Ashley realizes Kumanosuke is gone. She remembers the bear carries traces of her magic from past battles, so the girls follow the trail to an abandoned area and find a Witch&#039;s labyrinth. The thief enters with Kumanosuke, and the girls transform and follow. Inside, they find stolen goods and victims, and Ashley reaches the center where the Witch is examining her bear. She unleashes her fury at the mistreatment of people&#039;s beloved items and destroys the Witch, saving Kumanosuke and the victims.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kawaii&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they exit, the contest is about to begin and Ashley panics, having no time to complete her outfit. Just then, the other magical girls arrive. Masara gives her a necklace, Karin offers the bracelet, and Rika and Emiri provide color-coordinating shoes. Ashley thanks them and hurries to the contest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kawaii&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Ashley finishes telling Riko the story. Thanks to everyone&#039;s help, Ashley won the contest. She gives Riko the matching scrunchie, and promises that when Riko is older, they will attend a fashion event together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kawaii&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Mirror That Reflects My True Self===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sae goes about her daily life in Kamihama. She maintains a facade as the daughter of a well-off family while secretly working multiple jobs to support her kind but financially irresponsible parents, living by a philosophy of relying only on herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Mirror That Reflects My True Self|The Mirror That Reflects My True Self]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a routine adjustment with the Coordinator Mitama, Sae learns of a &amp;quot;False Magical Girl&amp;quot; rumor: someone is impersonating her. Mitama suggests Sae seek help from Emiri&#039;s counseling room, where Magical Girls gather. Though reluctant, Sae agrees the impostor threatens her carefully constructed image.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sae joins the counseling room girls to investigate. Emiri, Himika, Ria, and others provide testimonies of sightings, but inconsistencies emerge. After deducing the impostor can transform, Sae confronts and corners Rena, who reveals the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire investigation was an elaborate setup. Emiri and the others orchestrated the &amp;quot;False Magical Girl&amp;quot; to force Sae into relying on them, worried her refusal to ask for help would lead to disaster. Mitama coordinated the scheme. Though initially frustrated, Sae understands their concern and thanks them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sae returns home to find her siblings confused. Someone matching her description visited earlier, acting affectionate. Sae realizes a real impostor exists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A figure identical to Sae appears and delivers a prophecy: tomorrow, Ria will be attacked and Emiri will stabbed saving her. In the evening, Sae will be defeated pursuing the attacker, and Himika will be hurt helping her. Lastly, Sae&#039;s entire family will die because of an enemy she fails to defeat. The figure claims to be Sae from the future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sae dismisses the prophecy but confirms part of it when her brother shows her a perfect test score, exactly as predicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sae investigates recent incidents, concluding a powerful Witch is responsible. Before she can act, Ria is attacked and Emiri stabbed, just as predicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Determined to prevent the next prophecy, Sae locates the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth alone. She is overwhelmed and nearly killed. Himika arrives to help, having found Sae&#039;s marked map, and is gravely injured in the rescue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sae receives a message that her family is attending a concert near the Witch. As she despairs, the counseling room girls arrive, led by the impostor who directed them there. They insist on fighting together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group coordinates their abilities. Emiri and Himika distract the Witch, Maria binds it, Akira finds its weakness, Ria conceals their attacks, and Hinano commands the operation. Sae delivers the final blow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Sae reconciles with her family. The future Sae, who watched from afar and disappeared, her past unchanged but is satisfied this world&#039;s Sae was saved. She returns to the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following days, Sae begins helping at the counseling room, gradually opening up to others while maintaining she does so for networking. The room becomes busier as more Magical Girls seek advice, and Sae finds herself enjoying the company despite herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Magia Record Event - The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf|The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo bumps into Tsuruno on a day when school is out. Yachiyo has a job performing in a recorded drama with Sayuki that will be screened on Tanabata. Tsuruno recalls Yachiyo&#039;s poor performance in Karin&#039;s Halloween play and decides to join her to help. Yachiyo welcomes her.&lt;br /&gt;
** On set, Ria and Mayu are assisting with makeup and costumes. Yachiyo recognizes Ria, calls her by name, and praises her work, causing Ria to internally fangirl. Yachiyo grows anxious seeing so many Magical Girls gathered, recalling how a previous production with magical girls turned into a disaster. Tsuruno reassures her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wins over the production team with her exuberance. The play&#039;s co-star drops out, and the director asks Tsuruno to take the role. She eagerly accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a fairy tale about an ancient Mizuna legend. Two girls, Tsuyu and Chizuru, befriend each other despite their families&#039; rivalry and join forces to punish a selfish lord. Yachiyo plays Tsuyu, the ice queen with a heart of gold. Tsuruno plays Chizuru, the cheerful and impetuous girl. Sayuki plays the Magpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** During the script reading, everyone realizes Yachiyo&#039;s acting skills are still terrible. Yachiyo confides that she has turned down many acting jobs but accepted this one because the director begged her, even if she flops. She vows to see it through to expand her repertoire. Tsuruno promises to stay by her side.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria is in shock seeing her idol perform poorly. The filmmakers work around it by taking away Yachiyo&#039;s lines. Ria confronts Yachiyo and Tsuruno after the reading, declaring she will give Yachiyo an acting bootcamp. She does not want Yachiyo&#039;s performance to drag down her makeup work or her reputation as Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at home, Yachiyo reviews the script. Tsuruno explains the Mizuna fairy tale to the rest of Mikazuki. Felicia becomes interested when she learns there are fight scenes. Tsuruno explains that the day Tsuyu and Chizuru teamed up was Tanabata, and people in Kamihama entrust their wishes to them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next week or so, Yachiyo is drilled on acting with a professional coach and Ria&#039;s guidance. She eventually executes her lines perfectly and Ria is relieved.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sea is a Link Through Time /  The Call of the Open Sea===&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. There&#039;s two different versions at hand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Momoko and Mitama arrive at a resort near a village with a legend about a Diviner who eloped with a sailor and sank with stolen treasure. Mitama reveals they are actually there to hunt for this treasure based on a fairy tale Mikage heard. While exploring the private beach, they encounter Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao from the Tokime Clan, who stumbled there by accident. The group decides to spend the day together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|The Call of the Open Sea]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, they attend a festival in a nearby village that turns out to be a branch of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka learns the villagers consider Diviners a superstition. Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Big Sis, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Felicia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward. Kyubey finds a fuming Felicia, who decides to hire herself out as a mercenary to other magical girls for money or Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Felicia Mitsuki#Side Story|Felicia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia encounters Asuka and Sasara and defeats a witch for them, but they let her keep the Grief Seed and leave without paying, leaving her frustrated. Kako appears, concerned, but Felicia rejects her harshly and immediately regrets it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia helps defeat the witch and collapses from exhaustion, silently vowing to destroy every witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Touka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Hazuki and Nanaka team up with Ui to teach her how to defeat witches. Ui claims her first victory and receives a grief seed as a reward while Touka and Nemu tag along to offer congratulations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui suddenly realizes she loves the choir and wants to become a music teacher. She excitedly shares this revelation with her family and friends and resolves to work hard toward this future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art. The Amanes are relieved, and Tsukuyo suggests they play their flutes at the shrine on the way home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo thinks the flute&#039;s song has always warmed her heart, while Tsukasa reflects it is a bridge connecting her to her sister. Both affirm that their only allies are each other, and they will always be together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends. Before Hibari&#039;s family moved away, she performed a charm ritual on Aru and promised they would meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message that Hibari is coming to visit Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives and they plan to visit an arcade. Along the way they encounter Himena&#039;s group and later help a lost Shizuka. After some confusion about directions, they reach the arcade where Hibari wins a crane game prize and helps Juri win one too. Hibari suddenly becomes pale and goes to get change, but she does not return. Kagome calls her and Hibari thanks her for being friends before saying goodbye, with an ambulance audible in the background.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome discovers a crowd under a Witch&#039;s Kiss heading toward a rooftop and sends emergency messages to every Magical Girl she knows. Himena&#039;s group arrives to help hold back the crowd, but other girls cannot come due to similar incidents elsewhere. Shizuka finally checks her phone and rushes over with the Tokime Clan just as someone threatens to ignite kerosene. They stop the crowd while Juri and Ao defeat the Witch with Livia&#039;s help. The Witch&#039;s Kiss is lifted and Hibari wakes up confused, with Livia covering that she collapsed from anemia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari admits she felt faint because seeing Kagome surrounded by friends made her happy but also made her feel left behind and alone. Kagome insists Hibari is wrong and promises to come running whenever Hibari is in trouble, asking them to stay best friends forever. Hibari reveals the two wishes she made when they parted came true: that she could speak her mind loudly and that Kagome would make lots of friends. They renew their promise to remain best friends forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari. They bonded over a shared love of &amp;quot;The Adventure of Mandragora.&amp;quot; Hibari gave Kagome a Mandragora plushie named Al-chan and asked to be friends. Kagome learned ventriloquism through Al-chan and grew more confident. The two became inseparable.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kagome&#039;s family moved due to her father&#039;s job transfer, Hibari put a charm on Al-chan with a secret wish. They promised to meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message from Hibari saying she will visit Kamihama. Kagome prepares to show her around.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives in Kamihama. Kagome is happy to see her. They go to the arcade. On the way, they run into Himena and her group. Kagome introduces Hibari. Later, Kagome helps Shizuka, who was lost and struggling with a foreigner. Hibari is impressed by how much Kagome has grown.&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the arcade. Hibari wins a plushie from a difficult crane game in one try. Juri, Yuna, and Ao appear. Juri asks Hibari to win a prize for her. Hibari succeeds. Juri offers a drink as thanks, but Hibari declines.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari suddenly feels faint and goes to get change. She does not return. Kagome becomes worried. Yuna and the others sense a Witch. Juri and Ao go to defeat it while Kagome and Yuna search for Hibari. Kagome receives a call from Hibari, who says goodbye and hangs up. Kagome fears the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large group of people under Witch&#039;s Kisses begins heading toward a rooftop. Kagome coordinates with nearby Magical Girls for help. Himena, Shigure, Miyuri, and Yuna hold them off. Reinforcements from other Magical Girls are delayed due to incidents elsewhere. The situation grows dire.&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka finally checks her phone and sees Kagome&#039;s emergency messages. The Tokime Clan arrives and helps stop the crowd. Juri and Ao defeat the Witch. Livia appears to assist. Everyone is safe.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hibari wakes up. Livia explains she fainted due to anemia. Hibari admits she felt left behind seeing Kagome surrounded by friends. Kagome reassures Hibari that she is still immature and needs her friend. Hibari reveals her secret wishes from childhood: that Kagome would speak her mind and make many friends. They promise to remain best friends forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yuna&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna and Hikaru discuss school troubles. A girl complains about a PE teacher who measured her skirt length and made her late for class. Yuna promises to discuss the matter with the Student Council.

* During training, Senpai notices Yuna and Hikaru are troubled. Yuna confesses her doubts about using force against Juri and about how she became Student Council President.

Senpai advises her to take responsibility to the end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yunass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yuna argues that freedom develops autonomy. Hikaru testifies that quitting her club to support Yuna&#039;s campaign improved her grades. The principal proposes a one-year trial. The Parents&#039; Association agrees. Yuna reveals she had already negotiated with the principal and teachers in advance. Hikaru praises her like a politician.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yunass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Senpai gives Yuna a fountain pen as a celebratory gift for her Student Council inauguration. Senpai was once a Student Council President herself and shares her experiences. She advises Yuna: &amp;quot;Don&#039;t hate, don&#039;t be jealous, and don&#039;t be selfish. Always work hard for others, and pray for peace.&amp;quot; Yuna promises to cherish the pen and the words. Senpai suggests they go somewhere together as friends.

* Hikaru Kirari struggles during lacrosse practice. The advisor criticizes her lack of seriousness and tells her she is not playing with full effort. Hikaru reflects on her past—she has quit many activities after losing interest, including trumpet, tennis, karate, and calligraphy.

* Day 4&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri struggled at school, frustrated by classmates who avoided conflict and teachers who enabled them. Her anger built up. She reflected on how she became a Magical Girl—she wished for a patient, stout heart to stay in school and not burden her father. The wish gave her patience but did not eliminate her anger; it built up as flames until she exploded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl Yuna introduced continued to spar with Juri. The girl revealed Juri had saved her from a Witch, and she admired Juri.

Juri reflected that the recent months had been the toughest. She came home late again. Her father asked about her absences. Juri said she was fighting for the future and would explain in a few months. She reflected on how much she and her father were alike, both unable to ignore past stains. She said she liked being with him, just the two of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Emiri asks what country life is like; Chiharu and Sunao give different answers from Shizuka since they are more familiar with modern living. They mention meeting only recently, surprising Emiri. Shizuka proudly explains they are bound by their duty to protect Japan, and Emiri says, “As long as you have no regrets, it’s okay.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After thinking it over, she searches for information with help from others, but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hinano explains that because the agreement fell through, local manufacturers like Kanoko’s father stayed in business, so there was little news. Chiharu and Sunao arrange a meeting at the factory and bring Shizuka. Kanoko’s father tells Shizuka his factory would have failed otherwise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Shigure and Hagumu grow close but quickly become jaded. Their families and classmates resent their constant lateness, which comes from Magius work no one can know about.

* Hagumu reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. After Walpurgisnacht, the organization dissolved, and many former Feathers joined the Kamihama Magia Union. Hagumu is uncertain, as she believes in Magical Girl Supremacy and cannot accept the Union&#039;s ideology of liberation without sacrifice. Shigure contacts her, asking to meet and talk. Shigure wants to convince Touka and Nemu to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Hagumu is conflicted—she cannot trust the Magius after being exploited, but she also cannot decide what to do. She asks for time to think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hagumu Azumi#Side Story|Hagumu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu meets Maria, a former Magius member who joined the Union. Maria notices Hagumu looks unwell and offers to listen. Hagumu explains her dilemma: she cannot agree with the Union&#039;s ideology, but she also cannot follow Shigure&#039;s plan. Maria suggests Hagumu ask other Magical Girls how they decided. Hagumu recalls her wish was made in haste to save a woman under a Witch&#039;s Kiss, and she regrets not choosing a better wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Moka why she joined the Union. Moka says she joined because she was invited and everyone is kind.

** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches. Hagumu is moved but asks for more time to discuss it with Shigure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hagumu senses a Witch and goes to help. She sees Riko, an elementary schooler, defeating the Witch on her own.

She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri learned her new power shortened her experience of anxiety. She became more confident but still fainted easily. She fought Witches alone, often blacking out and going berserk. She encountered the Wings of the Magius while chasing a Witch. Her Doppel emerged. San appeared as the Instructor, defeated the Witch, and fended off the Doppel. San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training. Touka and Nemu suggested San should train Miyuri since she could still hear San&#039;s voice when unconscious. San agreed and became Miyuri&#039;s instructor. Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present) Back at the Community Center, Miyuri finishes her story. She does not regret her wish because it led her to become San&#039;s secret weapon and join Neo-Magius. Himena and the others leave, leaving San and Miyuri alone and Miyuri is mitten with San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Lavi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Lavi wakes Nayuta with the smell of natto. Mikage arrives urgently, asking to interview Lavi for her web newspaper assignment. Lavi agrees on the condition that her privacy is respected. Nayuta spills milk at breakfast, and Lavi wipes it up, explaining that milk can be used to clean silverware.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi goes shopping with Mikage and Nayuta. At the vegetable shop, the owner thanks Lavi for her gardening advice. A woman gives Lavi fresh eggs as thanks for organic vegetables from Lavi&#039;s grandfather. Mikage notices Lavi knows many housewives. Nayuta realizes she knows little about Lavi&#039;s past.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi explains she used to have a frail body as a child due to an unidentifiable condition. Her grandfather grew organic vegetables, which eased her symptoms. However, a severe storm destroyed the field&#039;s soil, making it impossible to grow vegetables. Lavi wished to restore the soil and became a Magical Girl. Her wish saved the field and gave hope to others. She admits her improved health was partly due to becoming a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage wants to make the newspaper more interesting, so Lavi offers to demonstrate &amp;quot;newsworthy&amp;quot; housework. She cooks lunch while Mikage records. Nayuta and Mikage try to help but ruin the dish with too much seasoning. They are distraught, but Lavi salvages it using cabbage and eggs. The meal is delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After making the newspaper, Nayuta and Mikage fall asleep. Lavi reflects on her past. She reveals that she never found joy in living despite her family&#039;s efforts. Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true. She asks for a little more time in her beloved daily life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Asahi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime Tribe holds a celebration to welcome Asahi. During introductions, Chiharu rambles excitedly about her favorite shows, and Asahi finds herself intrigued. When pressed to share more about herself, Asahi talks about hunting and the importance of minimizing suffering. That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun. Everyone apologizes, and they end the day with a shared dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Alexandra&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Re-analyze and structure this. It is a double-story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra dreams of her school days. She sees her past self smiling and realizes she is dreaming of the time she was in love. In the dream, she discusses love with Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu. Himena shares a romantic story about stargazing with Hiko. When Himena asks about their own love lives, Alexandra begins crying unexpectedly. She denies anything is wrong, but Himena apologizes for being insensitive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Alexandra Kurusu#Side Story|Alexandra&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, Alexandra&#039;s teacher appears—but he looks like Shigure. Other people appear as Himena and Hagumu. She recalls that her teacher was her math teacher and club advisor. He was strict and had a reputation for being scary. Alexandra remembers how she would complain about him with her classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After club activities, Alexandra wants to practice singing more. She goes to the rooftop and finds the teacher there. He allows her to practice under his supervision. They begin meeting regularly on the rooftop. She learns he does not smoke and is careful about his throat. He mentions that being an adult is not that great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A male classmate confesses to Alexandra. She almost accepts but pictures the teacher&#039;s face and realizes she loves someone else. She rejects the classmate. Later, it rains, and the teacher lends her his towel. She realizes she has fallen in love with him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra begins trying to appeal to the teacher daily. She asks about his relationship status and learns he is single. She indirectly describes him when talking about her type. She leaves a love letter in his shoe locker. He thinks it is a prank but recognizes her handwriting. She keeps trying to convey her feelings, but he never takes her seriously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra&#039;s behavior becomes obvious in class. She eagerly volunteers to answer questions and is overly happy when called on. Her classmates are amazed she can talk to the scary teacher so cheerfully. She learns everyone fears him. She asks why he became a teacher, and he admits his parents were teachers and he had wanted to be a singer but never pursued it. He wonders if there is any meaning to his life. Alexandra feels sorrow and wants him to be happy. She begins planning to improve his reputation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey appears and offers to grant any wish. Alexandra wants to capture the teacher&#039;s heart through her own efforts. She decides not to make a wish yet. She organizes a surprise birthday party for him with her classmates. He is genuinely happy and thanks her. He realizes she planned it. She tells him all the students respect him. He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra continues her jokes and attempts to get closer to the teacher. She jokes about marriage and asks for a date on the school trip. He unexpectedly agrees to go shopping with her for a few minutes. She hugs him in excitement. A classmate spots them on the rooftop. Rumors spread quickly. The principal calls the teacher in. He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra cannot wake up from the dream. She imagines the teacher scolding her for playing with his feelings. She decides she needs to apologize in real life. She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love. She tells him her feelings were not a deception—they were true love. She thanks him for a wonderful time and says she now only places her faith in Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Urara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara volunteers to do grocery shopping for Lavi. At the supermarket, she gets distracted by flash sales and buys beef, bean sprouts, and curry ingredients. She forgets Lavi&#039;s shopping list. Lavi forgives her but asks her to be more self-controlled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Urara Yume#Side Story|Urara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Urara announces she is returning to Yukuni to quit her talent agency. Lavi insists on accompanying her for safety due to the Magical Girl eradication faction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara and Lavi travel to Yukuni. Urara loses her wallet, but Lavi finds it. At the agency, Urara&#039;s manager asks her to coach a children&#039;s diabolo class as a final job. Urara accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the diabolo class, Urara teaches the class alone. Some children struggle to follow her teaching style. Lavi, Alexandra, and Asahi watch from a distance. During lunch, Urara admits she cannot explain techniques well. Lavi analyzes the wrist angles and timing, and the others offer to help. The class is a success.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Urara feels inadequate and misses her former partner, Kurara. She remembers Kurara was better at teaching. Lavi notices Urara is depressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Several days later, Urara returns to Yukuni to pick up her resignation papers. Lavi accompanies her. Urara admits she misses Kurara. Lavi warns her that reconciliation is unlikely, but Urara insists on trying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the agency, Urara confronts Kurara. Kurara reveals she always resented being compared to Urara&#039;s natural talent and felt like &amp;quot;Not-Urara.&amp;quot; She says breaking up the duo was for the best and asks Urara to stop involving herself. Urara is devastated. She returns to Kamihama and cries to Lavi, who comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Urara receives a message from her manager. A girl named Rei from the diabolo class wants more lessons. Urara agrees to meet her. Rei wants to learn the &amp;quot;Urara Special&amp;quot; to beat a prodigy her age. Urara remembers how she unknowingly hurt Kurara by copying her tricks too easily. She decides to coach Rei properly. Lavi offers to stay and help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara and Rei practice together. Lavi advises on timing. Rei successfully performs the trick. Urara tells her to remember the joy of performing, not just winning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rei competes and wins her first cup by performing the Urara Special, a trick even the prodigy could not do. Rei thanks Urara. Urara realizes that coaching helped her grow and face her regrets about Kurara. Rei asks Urara to be her permanent coach. Urara agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara returns to the Folklore base. She announces she will continue coaching diabolo classes. She wants to pass down her goal of making people smile through diabolo acts to the next generation. Lavi and the others support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nayuta&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta dreams of proving folkloric studies superior to Touka, but Lavi wakes her with obnoxious humming. Lavi scolds her for being a deep sleeper and rushes her to school in Takarazaki City, where Nayuta complains that Lavi acts like a stern stepmother rather than a kind maid her age.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In class, a self‑assessment exercise has Nayuta describe herself as quiet and diligent, but her peers call her stubborn, someone who hates losing and speaks her mind. She reluctantly accepts “stubborn” fits her persistent search for her father. The teacher introduces the Johari Window, explaining that without communication people understand themselves at most fifty percent and others only twenty‑five percent—a lesson that sticks with Nayuta.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Nayuta meets Iroha at the train station. Both are surprised the other remembers them. They discover they are the same grade and both hail from Takarazaki, and Iroha mentions she also searched for a lost loved one. Nayuta requests to see Yachiyo, apologizing for her bluntness. Iroha reassures her, noting they are both stubborn junior‑high girls from Takarazaki who came to Kamihama to find someone important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Yachiyo has no new information about Nayuta’s father. Tsuruno has Nayuta show a photo, but no one recognizes him. Felicia suggests Nayuta simply ask Touka, since she also grew up at Satomi Medical Center. Nayuta refuses, saying she cannot trust Touka, and apologizes for her stubbornness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Nayuta admits to Lavi she slept poorly because she cannot stop thinking about Touka. Mikage arrives, upset after a fight with Sudachi: Mikage complained about school, Sudachi said she envied Mikage for being able to attend, and they argued over whose position was harder.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home. Lavi approves of her standing her ground, and Nayuta realizes she and Lavi are more alike than she thought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, classmates who used to bully her avoid her, but Mikage is determined to find Magical Girl friends. Himika tells her about Emiri’s counseling center, so they go there together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the center, Emiri, Sasara, Asuka, and Kanoko are delighted to meet Mitama’s little sister. Mikage explains she is looking for a friend, but Emiri points out they are already her friends. After some banter about fashion, Mikage tries on Kanoko’s outfits and has a wonderful time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mikage wonders if the older girls truly see her as a friend or just as a kid. Himika suggests she meet girls her own age like Ui, Touka, and Nemu, though Mikage is uncertain about befriending the geniuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When she returns home, Mitama warns her that Ui has been kidnapped by Promised Blood and forbids Mikage from associating with the Kamihama Magia Union. Mikage reluctantly agrees but is frustrated her efforts to make friends have been stopped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama leaves for work and Mikage accuses her of hypocrisy—Mitama can spend time with the KMU while Mikage cannot. She runs out, declaring she will find a new big sister. She finds Emiri’s office closed but runs into Rika and Ren, who quickly realize she is Mitama’s sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Mikage bond over fashion and go to some cheap stores, where Mikage realizes she left her wallet. They play a crane game instead, and Rika wins stuffed animals for Ren and Mikage. Mikage asks Rika to be her big sister; Rika declines but encourages her to talk to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory. Kanoko lets her help make a pendant, but before Mikage can convince her to become her sister, Mitama arrives and drags her home. Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any. Later, she finds Mitama has made all her favorite foods, and they reconcile off‑screen; Mikage gives Mitama the pendant she made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage declares she will not give up on making Kamihama Magia Union friends. She then decides that since Lavi and Nayuta are older, they can be her big sisters instead. They exchange a look and agree to treat her for one day. Mikage expresses her hope that someday she and Sudachi can play with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, a magical girl named Livia invited Sudachi to Kamihama, where their work might offer her salvation despite its difficult costs. Sudachi followed her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yozuru plays piano at a pharmacist’s request, impressing everyone, then meets Livia Medeiros and Sudachi Sawa. Sudachi exposes Mifuyu, who decides to introduce herself directly. Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yozuru meets Livia and Sudachi again. Yozuru worries she lacks the kindness to be a good coordinator, but Livia encourages her. Sudachi’s stomach rumbles, and Yozuru prepares snacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Livia warns Yozuru that her inability to read emotions will make coordinating difficult. Yozuru replies that her mother trained her to face worse and declares she will live to the fullest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited again. She jokes about the visitor&#039;s persistence. Yozuru and Sudachi return from stocking up on essentials. Sudachi trips, and Yozuru hesitates to help. Livia instructs Yozuru to help Sudachi stand and dust her off. Yozuru apologizes and explains she is not equipped with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the trailer, Yozuru offers tea. Sudachi wants teacakes. Livia allows them to have some as a treat. Livia reflects that she needs to help the girls mature. Yozuru has lost compassion, while Sudachi needs to find her words. Livia believes they will complement each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is found sleeping and crying. Yozuru gives her a handkerchief. Livia says crying in sleep happens occasionally and is common among Coordinators. She thanks Sudachi for finding her dropped ring. Sudachi sulks when Livia refuses to give her sweets as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the ring is a treasure and a way of reprimanding herself. It is the reason she lives for &amp;quot;Mister Sun.&amp;quot; She says she may tell the full story another time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia shares her philosophy: no matter how awful life is, do not drift in a bad direction or relieve resentment with a curse. Magical Girls are born from hope and must overcome struggles with hope. She warns against corrupting purity and urges supporting those with pure hearts. She says she has said enough for now and will share the rest when she is ready. She asks the visitor to promise to live strong, face forward, and not end up like her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lil&#039; Kyubey&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;

** Lil&#039; Kyubey visits Ayaka&#039;s comedy show but does not laugh. It goes to Walnuts, where Manaka gives it leftover omurice. Lil&#039; Kyubey eats a large amount, defying the law of conservation of mass. Touka and Nemu debate whether Lil&#039; Kyubey is pretending to eat or has internal compression organs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lil&#039; Kyubey takes a train and meets Emiri, then goes to a shop where Natsuki cheers with it. It also helps Himika gather grass. It travels all over Kamihama, interacting with many Magical Girls. Touka and Nemu struggle to keep up. They take a taxi to follow it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lil&#039; Kyubey returns to Mikazuki Villa. Touka and Nemu are exhausted. They conclude Lil&#039; Kyubey may feel things and have sociality, but cannot reach a firm conclusion. Ui arrives and suggests Lil&#039; Kyubey wants to be better friends with everyone. Touka and Nemu agree to consider Lil&#039; Kyubey a being with sociality for now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo spots Lil&#039; Kyubey at night and decides to follow it for a scoop. She suspects Lil&#039; Kyubey is secretly soliciting new Magical Girls. Lil&#039; Kyubey meets Meiyui and gives her KamihaManju, but Meiyui rejects it and tells Lil&#039; Kyubey to bring its owner next time. Lil&#039; Kyubey later meets Hazuki and gives her KamihaManju, but Hazuki refuses, saying she is on a diet and does not want Lil&#039; Kyubey contacting her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo loses sight of Lil&#039; Kyubey. She finds a girl with potential who may have received a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and helps fight the Witch alongside Nanaka. After the battle, Nanaka explains Lil&#039; Kyubey followed her into the labyrinth and returned a flower she dropped. Nanaka asks Ryo to tell Lil&#039; Kyubey to stop visiting unfriendly Magical Girls. Ryo realizes Lil&#039; Kyubey avoids girls with potential and is not soliciting anyone. She writes an article correcting her earlier suspicions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui writes a &amp;quot;Lil&#039; Kyubey Observation Journal.&amp;quot; She and Lil&#039; Kyubey wake Tsuruno and Felicia by shouting. Lil&#039; Kyubey tries to help with chores but cannot carry items. It goes to school with Ui and points at wrong answers in her textbook, unable to help. It visits various schools with different Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui finishes her journal. Touka and Nemu read it and use it as qualitative data. They debate whether Lil&#039; Kyubey is mimicking humans or simply reinforcing Ui&#039;s actions. Iroha suggests Lil&#039; Kyubey is supporting them in their efforts to free all Magical Girls. Lil&#039; Kyubey agrees, and Iroha thanks it for accompanying them. She says they will continue together from now on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This is also belonging to the anime partly. Write the main part on the magia record and then the second part on the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices. Kyubey, whom she calls a talking cat, keeps urging her to make a contract, but she does not know what to wish for—though she finds herself wishing God could speak to humans like Kyubey does.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the boy reads the fairy tale Kuroe recommended. He questions a detail in the story, but Kuroe simply accepts it because the writer says so.

Later a teacher asks about her high school plans; Kuroe claims she has decided, but she is merely following her family’s expectations and secretly does not want to go to high school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe dreams of Iroha, though she cannot understand her words. Her Doppel reflects that her contract gave her affirmation of existence, yet she still does not feel like anyone - she simply adapts to whatever situation she is in, resented by no one and dependent on no one, but still wondering who she should be. In the dream, Iroha asks what scares her and offers to figure out who Kuroe is together. Kuroe wakes up wondering why she dreamed of the camping trip, and she calls Iroha, deciding she wants to connect with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroeds&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Doppel Story|Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sasara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara is taken hostage at knifepoint in a convenience store. Despite her desire to be a knight, she is too terrified to act. Though the police arrest the criminal and she is safe, Sasara feels ashamed and hates herself for her cowardice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sasara Minagi#Side Story|Sasara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sasara meets Kyubey and when he makes his offer, Sasara accepts without hesitation. As her father works for an emergency rescue squad, a job she admires, he gave her a favorite picture book about a knight who defeats a dragon to save a village. Sasara carries this book everywhere and has always wanted to be like her father and the knight. She wishes to become a knight who can protect and save people, asking for a stronger heart and stronger convictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Sasara has been hunting witches and saving their victims ever since making her contract. She calls herself the Knight who protects the people of Kamihama, but over time her feelings become tainted. The people she rescues never remember what happened and do not acknowledge her. Sasara realizes she wants someone to appreciate her and questions whether she really wanted to become a knight at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book. She thought she could accept the people she helped not talking to her, but now it feels like she does not even exist. When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nanaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Needs to be re-checked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako to ask for their help fighting a witch they all share a connection to. To explain why she needs them, Nanaka tells them how she became a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka&#039;s father headed a traditional Japanese flower arranging school, but when he fell ill, senior students took over and grew the school&#039;s popularity while abandoning its traditions, shutting out Nanaka&#039;s family entirely. On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform. She decided to lay the Soul Gem with its owner&#039;s body, and when she placed the gem in the girl&#039;s hands, the girl began breathing again. Later, Kyubey explained that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;

** Sakuya, Yuna, and Hikaru discuss Sakuya&#039;s problem. Yuna deduces Sakuya is unsatisfied because she cannot compete meaningfully—using magic makes her times inhuman, so she feels her achievements are not truly hers. Sakuya admits track is everything to her; she used her wish to allow her team to compete after a violent incident got them suspended. Yuna suggests Sakuya might find accomplishment through coaching others, using her experience to help them grow. A Witch appears, and they fight. During the battle, Hikaru is distracted by worrying about Sakuya and cannot control her army properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sakuyass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Sakuya, Hikaru, and Yuna fight a Witch. Hikaru&#039;s training pays off—she stays focused and controls her army effectively. Yuna reveals she asked Sakuya to train Hikaru so Sakuya could experience accomplishment through coaching.

* The next day, Tsumugi and Ria eat at Walnuts. Manaka is surprised by Tsumugi&#039;s improved reviews and lifts any implied ban. Tsumugi wants to fill Walnuts with people, but Manaka says she prefers just Tsumugi coming to enjoy her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the event, Tsumugi cries and confesses disappointment that none of her followers came, feeling she is just an average student with no unique qualities.

In a flashback, she wished to help Manaka by learning what she could do. She realized she needed to give objective criticism to truly help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ren&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren stands on a rooftop, contemplating suicide. Kyubey warns her that if she repeats her previous actions, her Soul Gem will be destroyed. Ren understands. She thinks about how people have always said hurtful things and believes she cannot live in such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nearby, Rika defeats a Witch and sees Ren about to jump. She saves her and asks why she wants to die. Ren cannot answer. She reflects on her childhood: she has always had trouble speaking and was teased and bullied for it. She attempted suicide once before but was scared of dying. Kyubey appeared and granted her wish to live.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explained that the bullying was caused by a Witch&#039;s influence—Witches hurt people, who then hurt others. Ren resolved to destroy Witches to create a better world. However, no matter how many Witches she defeated, people still acted cruelly. Kyubey told her that even destroying all Witches would not remove malice from people&#039;s hearts. This is why Ren wanted to die again, but she cannot explain any of this to Rika.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika takes Ren to meet other Magical Girls. At Emiri&#039;s Trouble Consultation Office, Ren meets Akira but cannot introduce herself and nearly cries. Emiri brings her to Ria, who gives her hand cream, and Konomi, who gives her chamomile tea. Rika then takes Ren to the chemistry club, where Hinano gives her candy instead of medicine. They visit Kanoko at her family&#039;s metal factory, where Kanoko shows a dress she designed with mushroom motifs and gives Ren accessories made of metal sheets. Emiri leaves, and Rika admits she never actually listened to Ren&#039;s problem.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika shares her own story: she wished for someone she loved to love her back, even though that person already liked someone else. She says she stole that love with a selfish wish and asks Ren if she thinks she is a horrible person. Ren manages to say she does not think so. Rika is relieved. She explains that to get others to open up, you must share the secrets that create distance.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren tries to tell her story but cannot get the words out and begins crying. Rika tells her not to force herself. She shows Ren all the gifts she received from the others and says that if all these people were thinking about her, she should continue to live. She says the world is filled with both bad and beautiful things, and the most painful thing is to have nothing. Ren says she will live. Rika leaves, and Ren thanks her. Ren thinks that if Rika can accept her story, she will be able to live forever.&lt;br /&gt;

Hazuki offers to handle meals from now on, which prompts Konoha to resolve that she will learn to make delicious food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konoha Shizumi#Side Story|Konoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha buys cookware and studies cooking theory, suspecting Hazuki might be a cooking prodigy. She makes a disastrous meal incorporating everything she read, and Hazuki collapses after tasting it. Ayame brings home a flyer for a cooking class at &amp;quot;Youshoku Walnuts,&amp;quot; noting that the food there made Hazuki cry. Ayame encourages Konoha, and Konoha resolves to take the class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Konoha meets the teacher, Manaka Kurumi, at the restaurant. Manaka attempts to teach knife skills and how to crack eggs, but Konoha struggles with both. Manaka promises to help her improve. She has Konoha make practice dishes, but Konoha burns oil, over-dashes rice, and explodes miso soup, so Manaka has to take over each time. When finished, Manaka tastes it, insists it&#039;s good to protect her reputation, eats it all, and passes out. Konoha tries the leftovers and confirms it is truly terrible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha hunts a witch with her team while distracted by thoughts about cooking.

When Ayame asks about being an older sister, Himika invites her to meet her family. Konoha asks to come as Ayame&#039;s guardian upon learning Himika cooks for her family, and Himika accepts. Hazuki says she will prepare dinner at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, at Himika&#039;s house, Konoha and Ayame observe the cramped living space. Himika explains she uses cheap leftover meat blends from a disposal man to feed her family. She serves dinner, and all her siblings along with Ayame eat. When Konoha asks if the food is tasty, the siblings say they never think it&#039;s bad because Himika does her best. Konoha reflects on Azalea&#039;s House and realizes she was too focused on theory rather than on who she was cooking for. She thanks Himika and leaves with Ayame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, Ayame and Hazuki find Konoha cooking again. Konoha promises to give up if she fails this time. Focusing on her feelings rather than theory, she makes a meal from Azalea&#039;s. Hazuki and Ayame try it and say it&#039;s bad, but it&#039;s edible. Konoha is excited that someone could actually eat her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ayame returns home to find Konoha cooking again. Hazuki observes that Konoha has found joy in the act of cooking.

She thinks cooking is fun, though Ayame and Hazuki sometimes scream loud enough to startle the neighbors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Hazuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame meet with Nanaka, Meiyui, Akira, and Kako at a restaurant to discuss how to handle situations where both teams target the same Witch. Meiyui proposes a first-come, first-served rule, but Hazuki points out it would lead to disputes over who arrived first. Ayame suggests settling conflicts with rock-paper-scissors, and though Meiyui argues there&#039;s no time for games in battle, Hazuki has them try it on the spot. When Ayame and Meiyui play, Meiyui uses a martial arts technique to change Ayame&#039;s hand, causing an argument between the groups. Hazuki calms everyone down and suggests they go home for the day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hazuki Yusa#Side Story|Hazuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls reconvene at the restaurant. Hazuki proposes a new rule: anyone who uses magic against a Witch gains proportional rights to the Grief Seed. Both teams agree, and Hazuki suggests they gather data by hunting together. They split into mixed teams—Ayame and Kako form one; Hazuki, Akira, and Meiyui another and Konoha and Nanaka stand by to help as needed. After the successful joint hunt, Nanaka meets with Hazuki alone at the restaurant. She reveals she believes Hazuki manipulated the entire situation from the first meeting, noting that her team was impressed with Hazuki&#039;s group&#039;s teamwork but that she herself was more struck by Hazuki&#039;s modus operandi. Nanaka asks why Hazuki orchestrated everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki admits she wanted Konoha, who is introverted, to connect with others and that after the Witch fight, Konoha seemed genuinely happy. She explains her goal was simply to build connections between her group and other Kamihama Magical Girls. Nanaka accepts this and says she&#039;s glad to work with her. Later, Hazuki writes in her notebook that Nanaka is shrewd but fascinating, and she resolves to continue reaching out to other Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Ayame encounters Felicia during a Witch fight, and their rivalry quickly escalates when Felicia dismisses Ayame&#039;s challenge to lead the girls to argue and accidentally let the Witch escape. Frustrated by losing to Felicia specifically, Ayame confronts her afterward, and despite Kako&#039;s attempts to mediate, the two insist on settling things through some competition. Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch. Emerging back in the park, Felicia thanks Ayame, and they realize the race was never finished. They resume, but Ayame admits she&#039;s fine with not winning and she has come to accept Felicia as a strong rival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ayamess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ayame Mikuri#Side Story|Ayame&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She became a magical girl thinking her dull life might finally become interesting, but even that eventually grew boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead. The Witch targets Kokoro, and Masara injures herself by blocking the attack. The Witch escapes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro apologizes, but Masara claims she only did what was most logical, since the Witch could not have been defeated alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help. Masara agrees and tells Kokoro to call her next time. When Kokoro worries about causing trouble, Masara insists she is doing it for herself, because she does not like seeing Kokoro get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Kokoro notices the summer festival flyer and asks if Masara is interested. Masara admits she is a little interested.

Kokoro and Masara are confused by her comment, which exasperates Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Konomi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi welcomes Kaede and Kako to the flower shop where she works part-time. She began working at Blossom because the florist once comforted her as a crying child with a single flower, and now Konomi does the same for other children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konomi Haruna#Side Story|Konomi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a customer leaves, Kaede and Kako help the florist carry supplies. The florist recently returned from the hospital, having survived a serious illness.

&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;!--The Flashback: Their First Meeting--&amp;gt;Kaede and Kako visit the shop for the first time. Kako searches for a specific flower, which Konomi identifies. During tea break, Kako explains she read about the flowers in a novel and wants to buy some for a friend&#039;s birthday. Kaede admits she has never given flowers but receiving them once felt wonderful. Konomi smiles and says she has an idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of the flower giveaway, Konomi, Kaede, and Kako take to the streets, suddenly appearing to hand bouquets to strangers before disappearing. A lottery winner, a despairing old man, and a boy who just got a girl&#039;s number all receive flowers. Later, the girls reunite. Kaede gave to ten people, Kako to thirteen. Konomi apologizes, but they agree to try again the day after tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Konomi, Kaede, and Kako realize they are the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi panics, fearing they have made people hate flowers. They notice a little girl crying because her mother refused to buy her a toy ring. Konomi offers a flower, but the girl wants a ring. Kako fashions the flower into a ring, and the girl calls it pretty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi realizes they have been giving flowers without understanding what recipients truly want. She decides to create something more meaningful.

* Konomi and the girls create a birthday cake made of fifty flowers, with chocolate and candy inside. The cake incorporates birth flowers so greetings can be communicated through their language. They prepare a fair at the shop to showcase it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi shows the cake to the florist, who gives a muted reaction and announces her retirement, planning to leave Konomi the shop.

===Rika&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Hinano, Emiri, Ria, Manaka, Akira&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Rika is invited to a blind date by Emiri Kisaki, who brings along Hinano Miyako, a girl recently heartbroken. When the boys on the date mock Hinano&#039;s youthful appearance and odd way of speaking, Rika surprises her by defending them. Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her. Emiri and Rika quickly reassure Hinano, with Rika adding that Hinano is actually cool for having been able to confess her feelings—unlike Rika, who never confessed at all and watched her crush end up with someone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri then suggests Rika should make a wish, revealing that she and Hinano are magical girls who each received one wish in exchange for fighting monsters. Rika wonders if this is some kind of game. Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika muses that her wish was granted and she is now dating her crush, yet she feels deeply unhappy. When Kyubey asks what is wrong, she admits that every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens with unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mayu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mayu is a third-year student at Mizuna Academy who works part-time at the Kamihama Contemporary Art Museum. When she accidentally breaks the museum director&#039;s cup, her boss handles the situation calmly and kindly. After work, she meets her friend Sayuki Fumino outside the museum, and when Sayuki cannot stay, Mayu&#039;s boss offers to accompany her to an exhibit instead. They later go to a cafe, where Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi are also present. Ria grows increasingly annoyed overhearing Mayu&#039;s conversation with her boss, particularly when he hints at wanting to take her somewhere else and praises her cooking. At home that evening, Mayu cooks for her mother and asks if her father would have eaten her cooking, wondering what life would be like if he were still alive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayu Kozue#Side Story|Mayu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at school, Mayu talks with Sayuki about the sword exhibit. She then heads to work, and after her shift ends, her boss mentions his wife and child are away and invites her out to eat. Mayu declines. As she leaves, she forgets her phone, and her boss rushes to return it, asking again about dinner with growing intensity. Ria suddenly appears and bumps into him, yelling at them for flirting and demanding they sit for a lecture. Mayu&#039;s boss says she ruined it and leaves. Ria warns Mayu that her sweet, innocent air attracts older men and that if things continue, his family will fall apart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home that night, Mayu reflects on the day she learned of her father&#039;s death and on Ria&#039;s words. Kyubey appears and offers a contract. Thinking she does not want her boss&#039;s family to suffer the same hardship her family did, Mayu makes her wish: to stop his family from breaking apart. That night, she narrates that her boss transferred to a new job, and she is sure her wish was granted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later at school, Mayu finds boys have started hitting on her. Ria constantly steps in to drive them off. Before Ria can finish telling Mayu to shape up, they both sense a Witch. The girls reveal they are Magical Girls, and they track the Witch to the museum&#039;s special exhibit room. Sayuki suddenly appears and reveals she is also a Magical Girl. During the fight, Mayu notices the Witch only targets Ria. She asks Sayuki to lend her strength and launches a surprise attack, destroying the Witch. Afterward, Mayu thinks that to protect people she must think clearly before acting, and Ria admits Mayu was more reliable than usual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As a child, Sayuki attends an idol performance with her parents, but when the crowd becomes dangerously wild, she is almost squeezed to death, leaving her with lasting trauma.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayuki Fumino#Side Story|Sayuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Growing up in a happy family, Sayuki develops a deep interest in katanas that creates a gap between her and her classmates. Though they respect her passion, she feels lonely without someone to share it with. This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert. Sayuki believes speaking out is important no matter the outcome and swears to protect the kind people who have been kind to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka. Moka thanks Alina for saving her and says she has now made new friends, resolving to devote herself to exterminating witches and admitting she is only a little afraid of them now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They grew as close as sisters until Sis became engaged to marry someone far away. When Sis&#039;s father suddenly opposed the match despite approving it before, Riko wished upon Kyubey that everyone would give their blessings to the marriage. Her wish worked, and Sis moved away happily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Riko Chiaki#Side Story|Riko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She snaps, calls them liars who were never there for her like Sis was, and tells them she hates them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko goes Witch hunting to vent her stress but nearly dies against a stronger Witch. In that moment, despair crushes her and she wishes she had never made her wish so Sis would still be there. Tsukasa, a regular at her family&#039;s shop, finds her crying and listens as Riko confides everything about her feelings and what happened with Sis. Speaking from experience, Tsukasa tells her that separation is no excuse for broken contact and recommends she reach out to Sis directly. Riko messages Sis that night before falling asleep exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At the daycare, the children swarm Maria with requests. She notices a boy named Shin‑kun looking down and tries to find out what is wrong, but he does not want to talk. Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work. Maria suggests she spend a day with Shin to reconnect, and Shin’s mother agrees.

Mifuyu and Momoko then receive positive readings about a matchmaking and exam results.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes. Afterward they visit Mitama, who suggests they train in Endless Mirrors if they plan to remain independent rather than join Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Temari and Mikura commute to school exhausted. Temari stayed up testing a new metal pen, and Mikura correctly guesses she is in modern literature mode.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Temari is distracted thinking about Witch strategies while Mikura worries about Seira, who had fallen asleep in class from exhaustion. Seira joins them, and Temari suggests they create their own space to escape the stress of magical girl life. Seira proposes forming a school club where they can pursue their hobbies freely, and they agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Seira secures an empty classroom as a provisional club room under the name Historical Research Club. On paper they study history, but in reality it becomes their oasis for reading, watching films, and relaxing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the girls are enjoying their club activities, yet Temari still feels unsettled about not knowing her magic. Mikura reflects that they have been following Temari’s suggestions lately—staying independent, creating the club—but says she will mention it if she notices anything. When Mikura asks what Temari is reading, Temari replies she is still on the same author, and Mikura calls her as unpredictable as ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hotori&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Last part is after the tea drinking moon party&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hotori and her twin Rion prepare for a school camping trip. Hotori gets distracted watching her favorite sentai show, Dragoon Red, and Rion teases her for still liking children’s fantasy. Hotori wants to bring her notebook of heroic quotes, but Rion tells her not to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At school, Rion tries to stay with Hotori and gets scolded by the teacher. Hotori is relieved to have time away from her sister. Her classmates notice her notebook and encourage her to become who she wants to be.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At camp, Hotori’s group hikes through the forest. She is frightened by insects, and when Rion appears and drives her friends away, Hotori ends up scolded for letting her sister interfere. Reading quotes from her heroes, she manages to calm herself and finishes the hike feeling she has changed a little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During archery, Hotori struggles to pull the bowstring but remembers Dragoon Red’s words about perseverance and manages to shoot. Rion performs better, but Hotori’s friends cheer her up. Rion later mentions the night’s test of courage, and though Hotori is scared, she refuses to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the test, Hotori freezes after a scare. Rion mocks her and escorts her to the finish line. There Hotori realizes she left her notebook behind; Rion goes back to retrieve it but does not return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotori lies to the teachers and searches the forest. She finds Kyubey, who offers her a contract: any wish in exchange for becoming a magical girl who fights witches. When she finds Rion acting strangely, Kyubey explains Rion has a witch’s kiss. Rion enters a witch’s barrier, and Hotori follows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Terrified but thinking of Dragoon Red’s words, Hotori makes her wish: “I wish to be a hero strong enough to protect Rion.” She defeats the witch alone, saves Rion, and is relieved when her sister wakes up safe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Months later, Hotori now fights witches with a team. During one battle she freezes and is saved by Rion and Yukika Nanase. Yukika asks about Hotori’s notebook, and Hotori explains she wants to be brave like the sentai heroes. Yukika privately knows the truth from another timeline: the twins’ memories were altered by Rion’s wish, and Hotori’s original wish may have been to become strong enough to protect Rion. Hotori, unaware, continues striving to be a hero.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Meguru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Meguru joins the Broadcasting Club, but her senpais later announce it will close due to low membership. Though she feigns indifference, she secretly wants the club to remain so she can pursue her dream of becoming a popular MC. When Kyubey appears, she wishes to become a popular mistress of ceremonies in exchange for becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After her wish, she discovers she can narrate events with unusual power, accidentally motivating classmates. She is drawn into a witch’s labyrinth and rescued by Momoko Togame, who takes her to Mitama Yakumo. Momoko suspects Meguru’s magic strengthened the witch. Mitama asks Meguru to act as MC for an event in the Mirror Witch’s barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the barrier, Meguru narrates battles for Tsuruno Yui, Meiyui Chun, and Akira Shinobu, but her words also empower their mirror copies. After struggling to control her magic, she successfully motivates the originals to win. The group agrees she has a gift for motivating others, though they must flee when more copies appear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Meguru’s senpais decide to promote her involvement as a club activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Later, Kyubey asks why she wanted to be an MC. Meguru explains she admired many fields but never excelled until now, and she thanks him. She learns she only gets one wish, but she is confident she will meet amazing people on her own.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Eternal Sakura begins as a story Iroha tells to Ui, Touka, and Nemu at the hospital—a tale of a girl waiting by a sakura tree to reunite with her three friends. Nemu loves it so much she writes it down, naming it the Eternal Sakura of Promises. That is Sakura&#039;s beginning, though she is only words in a notebook.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Nemu moves the Eternal Sakura and many other stories into a different book, rewriting them as Rumors and breathing her own lifeforce into them. They become real beings, freed but also bound to their rumors. Time passes, and the Eternal Sakura watches as other Rumors are destroyed. She alone keeps her physical form. When Walpurgisnacht attacks and the crisis ends, Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu finally come to her meadow, reunited at last. The sakura tree bursts into bloom. All the Rumors now live together in Nemu&#039;s book, with the Eternal Sakura as the only one who can venture outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu eventually summons the Eternal Sakura and offers to rewrite her rumor so she can leave the meadow. Touka has prepared an internet server for her to download information needed to live among humans. In exchange, they will ask her for a favor later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime after the Dreaming Cherry Blossom event, the Eternal Sakura arrives at Mikazuki Villa as Sakurako Hiiragi, a Rumor given human form. Touka asks Iroha to care for her for three days so she can learn through practice. Yachiyo agrees after Ui begs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The following day, they go to the mall. At the arcade, a man knocks Ui down and blames her. Sakurako hits him, demanding an apology, and when he refuses she hits him again, declaring she will end all enemies of Ui. Iroha stops her and they return home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells Sakurako she is glad she defended Ui but should not hurt others. Sakurako transforms into her battle form, showing the power she wields to protect the four girls. Iroha asks her to promise not to use it except against Witches or real danger. Sakurako promises.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Mifuyu arrives with Touka and Nemu to pick her up. They have arranged for her to attend Minagi Freedom School, where she will not know anyone. Yachiyo agrees it is best for her to keep some distance from Iroha and Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At her new school, Sakurako meets Hinano Miyako, who warns her not to mention being a Rumor in class. During introductions, Sakurako announces she is here to learn about human society, is technically zero years old, and has been assigned an age to match her appearance. The students think she is weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Between classes, Hinano checks on her. Sakurako finds school boring and misses Iroha. Hinano suggests making friends would make school more fun, but Sakurako does not understand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During class, Sakurako announces she is bored and leaves to see Iroha. Ryo Midori from the school newspaper photographs her, but Sakurako runs off. She finds Iroha, who is angry she cut class. Iroha explains her actions cause problems for many people, including Touka. Sakurako promises to attend tomorrow, though she still finds school boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako sits bored in class but keeps her promise. At lunch, she finds an empty classroom and sits alone, tears welling as she wonders if this is loneliness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo finds her and offers a handkerchief. In exchange, Ryo asks why she is crying. Sakurako tells her everything, including being a Rumor. Ryo believes her and invites her to spend lunch together. In exchange, she asks Sakurako to be the newspaper&#039;s mascot with her own column. Sakurako agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She arrives home late and tells Iroha and Ui she made a friend. Iroha is worried, knowing Ryo&#039;s history, but Sakurako hands over a letter from Ryo. The letter states Sakurako needs emotional education before social education and should not be forced to attend school. Ryo promises to watch over her in exchange for the mascot role.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ranka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ranka reflects on her mission as a spy from Futatsugi to investigate Kamihama&#039;s Automatic Purification System. She struggles to gather intel while pretending to be a normal student. Frustrated, she visits an arcade. She bumps into Rena and they argue. They settle their dispute with gaming matches: Rena wins at DDR, Ranka wins at the fighting game. Momoko and Kaede arrive. The trio notices Ranka&#039;s ring and realizes she is a Magical Girl. Ranka lies about being a newbie who recently moved to Kamihama. Momoko offers to help her. The group later fights a Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rankass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ranka Chizu#Side Story|Ranka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the weekend, Ranka texts the trio asking to be shown around the city. They meet up. Rena mentions the Kamihama Magia Union. Ranka gathers intel on the group. They visit a dessert shop and then an arcade. Ranka shares her backstory: she wished to protect her hometown arcade from closing. A Witch appears and they fight together. Afterward, Momoko gives Ranka a Grief Seed. Ranka is conflicted, resenting the Kamihama girls for their abundance while Futatsugi girls struggle for Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rankass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ranka reflects on her failed spying attempts. She considers infiltrating the Kamihama Magia Union to meet its leaders. Juri calls, noting Ranka has stopped sending daily reports.

===Rui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Kosho Academy, Seira Mihono searches for a protagonist with a secret for her new film. Her classmates suggest Rui, a mysterious girl who never talks about herself. Rui, who knows the rumors are untrue, feels guilty. Lost in a fantasy where she fights terrorists as “Fortress, the Sorcerer,” she is interrupted by a classmate and, too shy to answer a simple question, retreats into her thoughts. She reflects that in her mind she is a cool heroine, but in reality she cannot connect with others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ruiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rui Mizuki#Side Story|Rui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

But when classmates later comment that such a cool character could only exist in fiction, Rui feels isolated, as if her true self is unacceptable.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ruiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rui Mizuki#Side Story|Rui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Akari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari wakes Hotaru after school. Hotaru notices Akari&#039;s Puchi-Usa keychain, which Haruto drew for her when she was young. Akari decides to tell Hotaru about her wish and how she became a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akari Mai#Side Story|Akari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari explains that she has always loved Haruto, but he treats her only as a little sister. When Haruto entered high school, he stopped walking with her due to club activities. Akari heard a rumor that Haruto was dating his club manager. Distressed, she wished to Kyubey to become 16 years old like Mimiko-chan, the transforming heroine she admired.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her wish only allowed her to transform temporarily. She turned back into an elementary schooler afterward. Akari regretted not wishing for everyone to perceive her as 16 from the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Akari patrolled for Witches and found Haruto under a Witch&#039;s Kiss. She saved him in her 16-year-old form. Haruto did not recognize her and thanked her as a stranger. He gave her his jacket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari returned Haruto&#039;s jacket, claiming a stranger asked her to return it. Haruto admitted he had fallen in love with the girl who saved him—not realizing it was Akari. Akari was conflicted: happy he fell for her, but sad he fell for a version of her that was not truly her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The bunny Nene died. Akari cried. Haruto came to give her a new Puchi-Usa keychain but hid it when he saw her crying. He comforted her and told her it was okay to cry. Akari loved his kindness and subtle thoughtfulness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari ran into Haruto while patrolling. Haruto was looking for the 16-year-old girl. Akari became jealous and badmouthed her 16-year-old self, calling her suspicious and a liar. Haruto got angry at Akari for speaking ill of someone she did not know. Akari ran away, feeling she was not worthy of him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari hid in an alley. Haruto came looking for her. A Witch appeared, and Haruto was under another Witch&#039;s Kiss. Hotaru appeared and caught Haruto with a pillow before he could jump. Hotaru and Akari defeated the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotaru revealed she had been watching over Akari since the bunny hutch. She told Akari that her kindness was one of her good points. Akari realized the 16-year-old version Haruto fell for was still a part of her. Hotaru encouraged her to apologize properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari, still in her 16-year-old form, lied to Haruto that she had taken Akari under her protection. Haruto was relieved and admitted he was too harsh with Akari. He said he did not want her to become someone who speaks ill of others. Akari apologized to Haruto in person. Haruto forgave her and said he was proud of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari resolved to become a wonderful adult on her own, without magic, and capture Haruto&#039;s heart when she was truly 16. She thanked Hotaru for giving her the push to apologize but Hotaru fell asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ryoko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryoko’s story begins at Suitoku Temple, the Tokime Tribe’s base, which was slated for demolition while officials hid the harm it would cause. Though she is from a neighboring town, Ryoko is bound to the tribe by blood, and she makes a wish to disclose the demolition details—saving the temple. Raised by her grandfather in a strict Buddhist temple, she is told her mother was a hero who saved the country yet died and left her behind. Ryoko grows to resent heroism, viewing it as empty fame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Her cynicism is tested when Moka Megumi tries to save a drowning kitten despite being unable to swim. Ryoko rescues her and asks why; Moka says she simply cannot stand someone dying on her watch. Ryoko does not take her seriously at first, still believing people play the hero only to be seen as one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The turning point comes when her grandfather plays a recording of her mother’s final message. Her mother worked in intelligence, gathering intel on domestic terrorists, and when backup failed to arrive, she acted alone to prevent a war. The revelation shatters Ryoko’s old beliefs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She accepts the Tokime Tribe’s invitation—something she had previously refused. Her grandfather already knows she is a magical girl. Her debut in “A New Beginning” happens when she overhears a monk say the tribe’s members are coming to Kamihama; she goes to see for herself and arrives just in time to witness Touka’s Doppel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama’s adjuster shop, Karin Misono finds Kush sleeping inside the tent. Mitama explains that Kush cannot stay awake during the day due to her wish: “I just want the morning to never come.” Kush reveals she made her wish because she longed to live in a fantasy world like the one in her favorite book, &#039;Good‑Bye Fable,&#039; and her magical girl outfit resembles the story’s protagonist. Ui Tamaki and Little Kyubey arrive, and Kush briefly attacks Little Kyubey, mistaking him for the Kyubey she despises. Over tea, Mitama notices Kush’s long canine teeth stained red and later receives a message from her sister Mikage about a rumor of a vampire girl in the Hokuyo Mountains. Karin and Kush agree to investigate together, but Kush runs off to her night class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, the two meet up with Riko Chiaki and Ashley Taylor, who are making a horror video about the same rumor. The group searches the mountains at night. Kush can see in the dark and leads them, but she is still sleepy. They find a discarded camera containing a video of Rui Mizuki dropping it and disappearing. When a mysterious sound frightens the others, they accidentally leave Kush behind. Left alone, Kush eats cherry tomatoes and senses a witch. The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one. They also learn that Rui is Kush’s friend; she had filmed Kush entering the barrier before being caught by it. The group later glimpses a white‑haired silhouette and flees, thinking a real vampire might exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley posts a video warning others to stay away from the mountains. At Mitama’s shop, Ui hears about the incident and learns the vampire was just a misunderstanding. Meanwhile, Chika Aoba, whose animal traps and axe cuts the group had found, decides to move her work farther from the trails so she does not frighten anyone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Homura Akemi in Magia Record#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is flooded with more memories of her other self preparing for Walpurgisnacht with allies. She wonders if there might be a real possibility for salvation in this timeline, where no one has to be sacrificed. However, she believes it has nothing to do with her. She breaks out of the labyrinth and the dream ends. Kyubey asks if she was curious about what happened to her other self. Homura says it does not matter; she believes in Madoka&#039;s words that her efforts will not be in vain. A new universe is about to be born, and Homura must protect it for Madoka&#039;s sake. Kyubey states they will both forget Madoka, but Homura is determined to never forget her.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new universe where Witches do not exist, Kyoko is surprised to find Sayaka has disappeared. Mami explains the Law of Cycles causes Magical Girls to disappear when they lose hope. Homura cries as she remembers Madoka, but neither Mami nor Kyoko know who Madoka is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka spend the day together in Kamihama, enjoying each other’s company until they encounter Ria Ami, a model and magical girl who has already defeated the witch they were tracking. Ria invites them to tea and later takes them to the fashion district, where she notices that Homura’s attention never leaves Madoka. Admitting her jealousy, Ria says she wishes someone would look at her the same way, and Homura replies that she will protect Madoka. After Ria departs, Homura thinks that even if Madoka does not realize how cool she is, she will still save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Homura steals weapons from a group called the Soukaihou using her time stop, but she is caught afterward by Meiyui Chun, a magical girl affiliated with the group. Instead of punishing her, Meiyui thanks her for taking weapons that belonged to troublemakers and invites Homura to share mapo tofu. Over the meal, Meiyui learns Homura fights to protect someone precious to her and says she understands, offering her support and suggesting the spicy dish whenever the burden becomes too painful to bear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Homura is practicing her shooting alone when Natsuki Utsuho, a magical girl who cheers for others, offers to encourage her. Natsuki deduces Homura’s time stop ability and gives advice that significantly improves her aim. When Natsuki suggests Homura ask Mami to coach her, Homura calls, and Mami arrives within an hour. Mami uses her ribbons to move within Homura’s time stop during a sparring match, praising her rapid progress afterward. Homura agrees to return to Mitakihara with Mami, reflecting that she will keep moving forward to become a magical girl capable of protecting Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Sayaka arrives in Kamihama City to go shopping with Kyosuke Kamijou, though she insists it is not a date. When she hears a scream, she runs toward it and discovers Hinano Miyako at an empty elementary school. Hinano explains she was bumped on the head while setting up the chemistry lab, and Sayaka decides to help investigate. They find the culprit was a baseball that flew through the window from the baseball club practicing outside. Hinano returns the ball to a child and gives Sayaka a perfume she made, wishing her good luck on her date despite Sayaka&#039;s protests.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later in the shopping district, Emiri Kisaki approaches Sayaka, drawn by the perfume. After realizing Sayaka is not Hinano, Emiri offers to coordinate her wardrobe, claiming to be the &amp;quot;Cutest in the World.&amp;quot; Sayaka learns Emiri is also a magical girl but remains unsatisfied with the outfit suggestions, explaining the person she likes does not care about appearances. Emiri takes her to the top of a tower, where they view the city at night. Sayaka thanks her before heading to the train station, reflecting that her love is supported by the magical girls of Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the outing with Kyosuke arrives. After buying a CD, Kyosuke messages that his train is delayed. Sayaka fights a Witch she senses and meets Kokoro Awane, defeating it together. With time to spare, Kokoro invites her for tea. Sayaka shares that she became a magical girl to heal someone she loves, and Kokoro reveals she wished to bring her family together. Though problems remain, Kokoro believes she can unite them through her own power, and Sayaka finds strength in her words. When Kyosuke is about to arrive, Kokoro encourages her, and Sayaka runs to the station, feeling it will be a good day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On a later day, Mami is approached at a cafe by Rika Ayano, who admires her fighting style and asks to be friends. They spend the day shopping and at an arcade, and Mami admits she has not enjoyed herself like this in a while. Rika reminds Mami of Kyoko Sakura, and Mami reflects on her friendships in Mitakihara. They exchange contact information and agree to hang out again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, after Mami fights off familiars, Nanaka Tokiwa confronts her, having heard rumors about the strongest Magical Girl from Mitakihara. Nanaka wants to team up or fight her, and Akira Shinobu arrives, also eager to challenge Mami based on exaggerated rumors. Mami agrees to fight them on one condition: they have tea with her first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kyoko dismisses her but secretly follows, rescuing Ren when the familiar transforms into a witch. She gives Ren the Grief Seed, admitting that helping her didn&#039;t feel as wrong as she expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kyokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura in Magia Record#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When Manaka asks about her relationship with food, Kyoko is reminded of how her wish destroyed her family, but she simply says that eating is living and that she decided to survive no matter what. Kyoko admits she enjoys the cooking and promises to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kyokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura in Magia Record#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Konomi offers to let Kyoko keep all Grief Seeds if they can be friends, and Kyoko agrees to a collaborative relationship. When they encounter a witch, Kyoko insists on fighting alone, but Konomi follows and gets injured. Kyoko reluctantly carries her home, where Konomi gives her a nadeshiko flower to match her name. Kyoko later realizes she stuck it in her hair and reflects that she ended up meeting a cute witch despite herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kyokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura in Magia Record#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ultimate&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart. She also finds Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, who were never supposed to become magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Panicking because she cannot prevent magical girls from becoming witches in this universe, Madoka investigates. She discovers the source blocking her intervention originated when the Holy Quintet first visited Kamihama, and she observes how Touka and Nemu—fated to die in every other universe—are alive and plotting with the Magius to lure Walpurgis Night to hatch Eve. Madoka reflects that their plan, if successful, would achieve what she herself accomplished. Unsure whether to intervene, she decides to investigate further and chooses Iroha as her next focal point, since this is the only universe where Iroha contracted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka observes Iroha’s past and finds the singular difference: on a normal day, Iroha took her usual shortcut but accidentally kicked a small pebble, nearly making her late. This tiny butterfly effect led to Iroha contracting and Ui, Nemu, and Touka surviving, derailing the universe’s fate. Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka decides not to interfere, fearing a clash that could destroy the universe. However, she laments that she may have no choice but to trample Iroha’s wish if this universe, now a singularity, threatens the stability of all other universes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Oriko has another vision revealing that Madoka is not in Mitakihara but somewhere else entirely. She witnesses a spatial distortion connecting Mitakihara to Kamihama City and begins to suspect Kamihama might hold the key to changing the future. Oriko sends Kirika to Kamihama under the pretense of buying tea, instructing her to gather information from Mami and other magical girls there. She then takes Yuma to Kamihama herself, leaving her inside a witch barrier knowing Kyoko will come to rescue her. While exploring Kamihama for answers, Oriko nearly dies inside a powerful witch barrier and realizes she needs Kirika&#039;s help to continue. Kirika eventually returns home safely, reporting that Mami and Kyoko are also investigating Kamihama and that the city has an unusually high number of witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Mitama realizes she has no plans for holding a party and no one is visiting. Just as she is feeling lost, the Mikazuki Villa team visits, bringing a beautiful kimono and New Year&#039;s food. They say it is their way to thank Mitama for her help. With Yachiyo&#039;s help, Mitama puts on the kimono and is touched by their actions. Momoko, Kaede, Rena, Asuka, and Sasara also visit. The kimono was chosen by everyone for Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;

** Sana suggests asking Mifuyu, whose family runs a kimono shop. Mifuyu cannot help because her craftsman is ill, but she suggests asking Mitama, the Coordinator.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka visits Mitama. Mitama performs a Coordination, altering Shizuka&#039;s outfit to match her imagination of the traditional ceremonial costume. Shizuka is amazed by the result and feels confident and resolved.&lt;br /&gt;

* Felicia and Tsuruno are being lazy, still treating it like New Year&#039;s. Yachiyo scolds them. Iroha and Ui feel anxious about the upcoming school semester but realize they have forgotten something important. Yachiyo suggests it might be cleaning. Iroha and Ui remember they need to clean their house in Takarazaki. The group agrees to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha &amp;amp; Ui (Shrine Maiden)#Side Story|Iroha &amp;amp; Ui&#039;s Shrine Maiden Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the house, they clean together. Felicia finds a photo album. Everyone looks through pictures of Iroha and Ui as children. They see photos from Ui&#039;s birthday party at the hospital, a Christmas when they had a flour snowball fight, and other memories. The girls tease Iroha for being a dork, and Iroha gets embarrassed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After cleaning, they take a break. Ui wants to have a party at the house, which has always been a dream of hers since she was hospitalized for so long. Iroha agrees. They buy cakes and cookies from a nearby pastry shop. Back at the house, they hold a small party. Yachiyo is worried about the cost, but Iroha says she and Ui paid with their allowance. They toast to everyone&#039;s help with cleaning. Felicia accidentally spills juice, and they laugh. As evening falls, they return to Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Ui receive a New Year&#039;s card from their parents overseas. They want to send something back but cannot decide how. Tsuruno and Felicia are watching a comedy show about an elderly couple sending video messages to their children. This gives Iroha and Ui the idea to record a video message for their parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They film their first video, but Yachiyo says it is too ordinary. Sana suggests making it more unique. Ui wants to introduce everyone at Mikazuki Villa to their parents. Iroha agrees. They try filming again with a script, but the takes go poorly—Yachiyo overthinks her cooking scene, Felicia struggles to tutor Ui, and Tsuruno is late. Ui suggests they abandon the script and just be themselves. They record a video of their daily life together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the video, Iroha and Ui perform a shrine maiden&#039;s dance they learned from helping at a shrine over New Year&#039;s. They tell their parents not to worry and wish them luck with work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* After Mitakihara City’s school closing ceremony, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura walk out together. Sayaka is glad the term is over, Madoka is excited, and Homura admits she will feel lonely without seeing them every day. Sayaka ruffles her hair and says they can still meet over break, whether hunting witches or hanging out. Madoka suggests visiting Mizuna Shrine in Kamihama for New Year’s to draw “Ultimate Fortunes.” Sayaka has other plans but encourages them to go together. After she leaves, Madoka asks Homura if she knows how to put on formal wear. Homura does not, so Madoka invites her to a kimono‑dressing class she found, saying she wanted the two of them to dress up with Sayaka but lacked the courage to go alone. Homura agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class, the instructor dresses them first; Madoka thinks Homura looks beautiful, and Homura calls Madoka cute. When the actual lesson begins, Madoka struggles badly and trips, while Homura learns quickly enough that the instructor says she will have no trouble. Madoka takes a break outside, feeling useless. Sayaka happens by and asks why she wanted to dress up in the first place - to have fun. Sayaka tells her not to overthink; even if she makes mistakes, she will still have the memories. Encouraged, Madoka returns and finally manages to dress herself after another trip.&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year’s Day, both have their formal wear put on at a store. They joke that the class was interesting but not very useful for the real occasion. They take lots of pictures to show Sayaka, then wish each other a happy new year and go to Mizuna Shrine to draw fortunes. Madoka hopes everyone has a lucky year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka find themselves trapped in a strange dream—a life-sized board game set across Kamihama City. They must reach the goal by following the game&#039;s rules. There are no Familiars or attempts to harm them, so Homura suspects it is accidental mischief rather than a trap. They roll dice to move between squares and complete missions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Kimono)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;First Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They arrive at a shopping center. The mission is to deliver lost items from the New Year&#039;s sale to the Information Desk. They meet Aimi, who found a plain notebook with no name. Aimi worries it is someone&#039;s secret fantasy diary and does not want to read it. They take it to the Information Desk and complete the mission. Aimi mentions she is shopping for materials to knit a scarf or gloves for a boy named Hayato.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** They roll again and move to a new square. The mission is to reunite two sisters who failed to meet. They find Tsukasa waiting for her twin Tsukuyo. Tsukuyo forgot her phone and cannot remember the meeting spot. Madoka and Homura offer to find Tsukuyo. They find her, but Tsukasa has wandered off while waiting. The sisters fail to meet, and Homura and Madoka lose three turns. They eventually reach the Mizuna Shrine goal, but the game says they have not met the goal conditions and sends them back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Second Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They are back at the beginning, wearing their kimonos. They see their past selves from the first loop. The same mission appears—reunite the twins. They meet Tsukasa again, who remembers them from before and is confused by their kimono change. Madoka tells Tsukasa where Tsukuyo is, but Tsukasa runs off before Madoka can explain she should wait. They try to find Tsukasa but fail. The mission fails again, and they are sent back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Third Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes: buy a lucky bag costing one million Magica. They search for a store and take a break at a cafe. They see Ria being interviewed and overhear a boy named Hayato saying he needs a warmer scarf. They find Kokoro and Masara, who lead them to a stationery lucky bag. Kokoro mentions Tsukasa is still looking for Tsukuyo. Madoka wants to help Tsukasa, and Homura agrees. They find Tsukuyo, who has been wandering and dropped something important. They learn Tsukuyo dropped her exchange diary with Tsukasa—the same notebook Aimi found. The mission completes, but they are sent back to the start again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes again: help a child who lost something. They find Tsukuyo waiting. She dropped the exchange diary. Homura and Madoka take her to the Information Desk to reclaim it. Madoka remembers Tsukasa was last seen near a specific area. They wait there and finally reunite the twins. They also tell Aimi that Hayato wants a warm scarf. Everyone ends up happy. Homura and Madoka reach the goal without regrets. Homura reflects that she does not want the dream to last longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka learns the meaning of &amp;quot;When winter comes, spring isn&#039;t far behind&amp;quot; at the end of December. Just before New Year&#039;s Eve, Madoka asks if anyone has plans for the holiday. Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko and Nagisa meet the teacher and children at the park. The kids immediately recognize Kyoko, so the pair double down on the movie lie. The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the performance, Kyoko and Sayaka use quick‑change costumes while Nagisa sneaks discarded clothes off set. The children are awed by the glowing weapons and effects, explained with lighting tricks and soap bubbles. After the class leaves, the group reviews the footage and decides to keep a copy. Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko returns the props to Sayuki, then visits an aquarium to pass time. As she leaves, she spots the same kindergarteners, detects a witch, and rushes to fight it. She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She wonders if this universe&#039;s Nagisa would have had the same experience. She and Kyoko hurry to Mami&#039;s chocolate party. Kyoko reveals she bought a chocolate cake from Sugar Plum for everyone. Nagisa shares her pink chocolate coins. Mami is happy they are getting along. The next day, the chocolate hunt continues.

When Tsukasa tries to repay the favor, Yachiyo jokes that she should quit the Wings of Magius, then smiles when Tsukasa refuses as expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukasa joins Team Yachiyo in a volleyball tournament while Tsukuyo cheers from the sidelines. Their final opponents are Miyako, Kokoro, Masara, and Ren, with Ren proving surprisingly athletic. Miyako’s team wins after Yachiyo avoids stepping on a rare hermit crab, but everyone agrees Tsukasa has repaid her debt, and the sisters admit they had a wonderful time. They end the day drinking juice Yachiyo bought for them and buying matching crescent moon accessories in different colors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

* On the day of the Tanabata Festival, Yachiyo and Tsuruno are performing lead roles in a special drama for the Mizuna Tanabata Festival. They are scheduled to give an introductory speech and do promo work in costume. Iroha and the others ask to join them. Yachiyo agrees. They will have free time before the screening to look around the stalls together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno brings a video camera to film a home video for Team Mikazuki. She interviews everyone throughout the day. Yachiyo gives everyone an allowance for the festival. Felicia and Sana check out the food stalls. Iroha and Ui look at the decorations. Yachiyo samples bamboo dumplings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui finds a lost wishing paper and turns it in. She wants to write her own wish but hesitates, not wanting to bring up wishes around other Magical Girls. Yachiyo notices and encourages her. Ui gets wishing paper for everyone.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group makes bamboo boats and floats them down the canal. Sana cuts her finger on a bamboo leaf. Yachiyo notices and helps her. Sana is touched by Yachiyo&#039;s kindness. Felicia says she feels warm on the inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the camera that Yachiyo gives her a feeling of security. Ui says she wants to be someone like Yachiyo someday. Tsuruno records her own message, calling Yachiyo dense but incredibly kind, and says she loves her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The screening begins. Afterward, Yachiyo and Tsuruno go to greet the production staff. The others return to Mikazuki Villa to prepare a surprise.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yachiyo and Tsuruno return home to find the lights off. Everyone surprises them with a handmade Milky Way made of paper stars. They call it the Mikazuki Way. They also show the edited home video featuring everyone&#039;s messages of gratitude. Yachiyo is moved to tears. She thanks them all, saying she is so happy they are always with her. She says this is the best present ever. Tsuruno turns the stars back on and they enjoy their very own Milky Way. Yachiyo says she never expected her tears would be those of joy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede, Rena, and Momoko have picked out new swimsuits. Momoko could not buy one because she spent her allowance on a concert tour. They decide to go to the beach together. Kaede mentions that Mikazuki Villa is renting a lodge for a study camp. Rena asks Yachiyo if they can join. Yachiyo agrees. They arrive at the lodge. Yachiyo announces that everyone must complete ten pages of homework per subject per day before they can play.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rena &amp;amp; Kaede (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena negotiates with Yachiyo: if they can finish all three days&#039; worth of homework in one day, they can play at the beach tomorrow. Everyone agrees. They study hard together. Rena suggests a reward system to stay motivated. They shout encouragement like at an idol concert. Yachiyo and Momoko help with difficult problems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By evening, everyone has met their quota. Rena and Kaede rush to the beach. But Rena has eaten too much chocolate and feels bloated. She is embarrassed and refuses to go swimming. She goes to bed early.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rena, Kaede, and Momoko finally play at the beach. Mitama, Kanagi, and Mifuyu visit. Mitama has brought homemade rice balls as a reward. To decide who gets them, they hold a fishing contest. Rena and Kaede catch a pufferfish but come in second place. Kanagi wins first place and gets stuck with Mitama&#039;s cooking. Mifuyu is affected first. Rena and Kaede eat the remaining Mitama musubi and feel sick. They rest for the rest of the afternoon. Yachiyo goes shopping alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Rena and Kaede notice Yachiyo acting strange. They follow her and find her with fireworks. Yachiyo admits she bought them for everyone but felt too shy to ask. Rena and Kaede insist on setting them off together. They gather everyone. The group enjoys fireworks on the beach. Rena and Kaede stay up late playing with the leftovers. Momoko reflects on how much they have changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They wake up past noon. There is only an hour before the bus leaves. They quickly change into swimsuits and race to the beach. Rena loses and buys everyone juice. They enjoy a brief swim before heading home. Kaede says she is glad she came to the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama asks Momoko to be her partner for the Beachside Perfect Pair Contest. The prizes include a scallop BBQ, Candy World tickets for Mikage, and a giant stuffed bunny Rena and Kaede would love. Momoko agrees, and Mitama immediately drags her out shopping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They browse swimsuits, but Mitama insists on choosing thoughtfully rather than buying on a whim. They separate briefly, and Mitama runs into Mikage, deflecting questions about what she’s doing. Momoko later admits she also had to make excuses after running into Rena and Kaede. Instead of buying swimsuits, Mitama brings Momoko back for an adjustment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the adjustment, they emerge in new swimsuits—Momoko’s tailored perfectly to her tastes, leaving her flustered but secretly pleased. Mitama teases her and admits she’s nervous but excited.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On contest day, Mitama and Momoko play on the beach. They learn the contest requires performing a shared beach memory with chemistry. They plan to tell the story of Mitama’s deserted island ordeal while Momoko adds her side of worrying. While playing, they fight a Witch together—the first time Mitama has teamed up with someone—then run straight into Rena, Kaede, and Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They win by performing the events of the day instead of their planned story. Rena claims the stuffed bunny, and Mikage gets the Candy World tickets, immediately inviting Mitama. Apologies are exchanged, and the others ask for no more secrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, while Mitama and Momoko clean up, Rena and Kaede take Mikage to get drinks. A girl from Mitama’s past confronts her: the one Mitama accidentally shoved down the stairs years ago. A crowd gathers, muttering rumors, but Momoko defends Mitama and the crowd disperses. The girl realizes it was an accident and offers to help clear Mitama’s name, but Mitama declines, saying she no longer needs it because she has someone who believes in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka arrives at a resort with her friends, carrying her mother’s challenge to do something she can only do now. After rescuing an old woman’s hat from the sea, she learns the hat was a gift from the woman’s daughter, Himari.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group spends the day swimming, building a sandcastle, and splitting into smaller activities. While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

* The next morning, the photographer leads them to a hidden pond where barringtonia blossoms float. She reveals this was the special place she and Himari had planned to visit. Madoka recognizes Himari’s name and, with her friends’ help, finds the old woman from the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The old woman and the photographer meet; the photographer confesses her guilt over their childhood fight, but the woman explains Himari never mentioned any quarrel—her illness suddenly worsened that day. The two women reconcile, and both thank Madoka for bringing them together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond. Madoka reflects that the thing she could only do here was to reunite the two women and give them peace. Her friends call her for one last swim, and she runs off to join them, already thinking of returning to the island someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomuradsSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends.

** After parting ways with Ashley and Riko, Sayaka wants to visit a CD store. She hopes to find rare CDs for Kyosuke. At the store, she reaches for the same CD as a woman.

Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring. They plan for future fights: Sayaka will handle Familiars, Madoka and Homura will immobilize the Witch, and Mami will finish it off. Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On the first day of school after summer vacation, Mami calls Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura to the roof. Kyoko and Nagisa fought a powerful Witch and retreated. They warn the others and the team meets to plan. Kyoko and Nagisa will immobilize the Witch while Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura handle the Familiars. Mami will finish it off with her new firework attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko invites Homura, Mami, Sayaka, and Madoka to the beach using tickets Mitama gave her after another accidental transformation into her magical swimsuit. The group swims, then Kyoko dominates the buffet. They discover a cliff diving spot, where Sayaka, Mami, and Kyoko take turns jumping while Madoka and Homura watch. They agree to return the day after next, since Madoka is busy the following day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ui improves, but a rip current nearly sweeps her away; Kyoko rescues her. Moved by Ui’s determination, Kyoko keeps training her until sunset, and Ui finally masters swimming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully. Later, Kyoko visits Mitama to revert her outfit, explaining she wants to learn swimming properly rather than relying on magic. She trades a Grief Seed for money to buy ramune as payment for a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Eternal Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;

===Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Momoko Togame (Sanctified)#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi meet again. Mitama shares her realization: her grief has ended. She now wants to make amends and carve a new future for Kamihama. They discuss ideas for the student conference. Kanagi suggests a sports festival. Mitama suggests a festival with food stalls. They joke about romance and love interests. Mitama feels lighter and ready to move forward. She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Touka and Nemu separately sneak to Ui’s room to leave apology notes. They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They first visit Mitama’s shop, where they meet Maria and Konomi. Mikage hands out sweets, crediting Lavi’s teaching, and Mitama permits them to visit the Mikazuki girls after receiving a cake. At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the real world, Tsuruno gives gelato to Ui and Felicia. Ui is absorbed in playing a game called &amp;quot;Little Vacation&amp;quot; on Tsuruno&#039;s phone. The game follows Tsuruno and Felicia as Reindeer Santas traveling to reach the End of the World and the Wishing Star.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia (Special Delivery)#Side Story|Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno uses the Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a hint: &amp;quot;The key is something you don&#039;t know the importance of until it&#039;s gone. This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The girls encourage Tsuruno and Felicia to leave since they were not originally trapped. Tsuruno and Felicia walk out easily. They promise to return once they find a way to free everyone. They leave, having failed to deliver smiles for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Town of Miraculous ☆ Prestidigitations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the next town. They meet Mitama, a magician performing tricks, and twins Rion and Hotori. Mitama attempts to teleport Hotori but accidentally duplicates her. There are now two Hotoris. Tsuruno and Felicia try to help. The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win. The duplicates are left behind. The single Tsuruno who lost is left alone without Reindeer-san #2 or the Okamochi Box. She decides to continue traveling anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; The three Tsurunos reunite and discuss the hints from the Okamochi Box. They realize &amp;quot;three heads are better than one&amp;quot; refers to them working together to solve the Maze Town puzzle. They also realize the key in Maze Town was a &amp;quot;smile&amp;quot;—something Ren had lost along the way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game. Game Tsuruno is surprised, saying the actual people probably do not play the game anymore. They celebrate their success and set their sights on the next town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents. Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia return home and ask to hear the full story, so Yachiyo retrieves the scarf from the time capsule where she had hidden it years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Check on the days again to make sure how many days pass. It&#039;s possible it&#039;s all just one day&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami finds herself in a strange white fog, speaking with two other versions of herself. Holy Mami claims she has learned the truth about magical girls from Alina Gray and Touka Satomi and has found a way to save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami has tea with Touka and Alina at a house rented for her by Touka. Mami explains she has not returned to Mitakihara because her priority is releasing magical girls. Touka and Alina offer to lecture her on what she needs to study. Alina grows disturbingly excited discussing van Gogh&#039;s Sunflowers, and Touka lectures at length on mathematics until Alina interrupts. Mami reassures them she will ask for help when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina receives a call from the Amane sisters requesting help with a Witch. Touka asks Mami to assist, explaining she has a lecture to give at noon to recruit skilled magical girls. Mami agrees, reflecting that releasing magical girls requires Grief Seeds, protecting Rumors, and raising Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane waiting for her. They explain the Witch has moved and the Black Feathers are monitoring it. A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren plan for their friends’ Christmas party a week away and promise to spend Christmas Eve together. While looking at options in a magazine, they cannot decide on a place. Ren buys the magazine to think it over, privately hoping to choose somewhere that will make Rika happy, though she doubts whether she truly belongs beside her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ren visits Emiri’s consultation room but finds only Akira and Ria Ami. She explains her dilemma, and Ria takes her around town to evaluate possible locations. They rule out a restaurant, an amusement park, and a romantic cafe, eventually settling on the Minagi Aquarium. Ria is surprised to learn Ren is planning an outing with Rika, not a boyfriend, but Ren leaves feeling confident in her choice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Christmas Eve, Rika attends a party with her school friends. When she mentions she will spend Christmas Eve at the aquarium with a friend, her friends press to join, but Rika refuses. She advises them not to look for boyfriends just to avoid being alone. Later, while walking with her friends, Rika spots Ren chasing after Aimi Eri. She follows and finds Ren comforting Aimi over a misunderstanding involving a boy; the situation resolves without trouble.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Ren waits for Rika, who messages that she overslept with a fever. Ren worries Rika became sick chasing after her the day before. Before she can reply, Aimi finds her, and they go shopping together. Aimi encourages Ren to visit Rika instead of staying apart. Ren goes to Rika’s house, knocks on her window, and insists they spend Christmas together there so Rika can rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They exchange gifts: Ren gives Rika scented candles, having noticed Rika’s interest from a sticky note, and Rika gives Ren a glass candlestick. Rika hopes they can visit the aquarium another time, and Ren leaves happy to have shared Christmas with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, assimilate them if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumor Tsuruno begins designing the park, adding a merry-go-round, roller coaster, spa, shops, and a cafe. The mascots warn that once the park is complete, she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world. Rumor Tsuruno claims no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Day 1 (Flashback/Reflection)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi wakes from a nap and remembers the dream she had when fused with the Kimochi. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words that helped her realize she had not truly given up.

** Lavi reflects on the hope she once held—a daydream of a peaceful life where magical girls are understood. In that dream, she helped her mother, tended fields with her grandfather, watched Urara&#039;s street performances, and attended exhibitions with Shirogane. She encountered other magical girls: Asahi, Haitani, Kuroda, Urara, and Alexandra. They fought witches together and enjoyed everyday moments. Lavi realized she had locked away this hope because remembering it was painful. But now, through her connection with Iroha and her time with Nayuta, she has begun to see the future again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Due to a scheduling mistake, everyone arrives at the same inn on the same day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** There is not enough premium beef for dinner. The groups compete in hot spring table tennis, karaoke, and pillow fights to decide who gets the meat. Yuna cheats in table tennis and is disqualified. The karaoke machine is outdated. The pillow fight becomes chaotic. Asahi saves the day with gibier meat. Everyone shares the meal and enjoys the evening together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects that this bustling, noisy future is unlike her usual self, but she realizes she has been yearning for it deep down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo tracks her location and rushes to the station with Tsuruno. Tsuruno finds Felicia, who confesses she cannot forget Iroha.

* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune. The Rumor says that if you receive the book and find a drawing of yourself, the sketched event will happen and if you try to stop it, a creature named Ketch drags you into the book. Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Two Hands in Harmony===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Two Hands in Harmony|Two Hands in Harmony]]&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. It may already be done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane complain about being overworked as guardians of a Rumor and fear the anger of Touka, Alina, and Nemu. They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One summer morning, Mitama is at her shop and she has set up a small café corner called Hot☆Corner. The cat, Doyle, is especially attached to her lately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery|The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - A Taste of Hospitality|A Taste of Hospitality]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko and Ashley help Mitama film a video about her Coordinator services, whre she explains that she adjusts Soul Gems to draw out hidden potential, that she sees memories during adjustments but keeps them confidential, and that she also sells items for Magical Girls. As payment for the video, Riko gives Mitama an origami dog (Mameji) and Ashley gives her blue candy from her home, both of which Mitama puts in a box.&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, Mitama receives many gifts from Magical Girls, including Kokoro, Reira, Mito, Felicia, Ayame, Kako, Yachiyo, Karin, Himika, Rika and Emiri, the last of whom says that when people share their favorite things, it means they want to share what they love with Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama hums happily, which Momoko and Kanagi notice and feel a bad omen. Mitama announces that she wants to share what she loves with everyone and that she plans a party with food that she will cook. She asks Momoko and Kanagi to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;

===Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin|Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One winter’s day before Christmas, Rika and Ren go shopping together. The town has no Christmas decorations and people seem depressed. They hear a distressed voice and find Mitama, wearing a Santa&#039;s beard and hat, and she introduces herself as a Christmas Spirit. Mitama says her job is to make everyone happy, but the task is too big. She gives Rika and Ren some of her magic, explaining that the magic requires them to be perfectly attuned to each other, and then she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, a swallow Familiar appears, claiming to be Mitama’s pupil and Rika names him Chirpie. Chirpie explains that Mitama saved him when he fell from his nest and gave him magic. He can sense cowardly hearts lacking courage and Rika and Ren must drive out ten cowardly hearts to make the town happy. Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chirpie leads them to Felicia and Sana, who had accidentally smashed a cake and are now arguing about who should apologize to Yachiyo. Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away|Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 13th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mitama is away from her shop, but Tsuruno is there, using the kitchen to make chocolate bonbons with a friend. She plans to surprise everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 14th:&#039;&#039;&#039; On Valentine&#039;s Day, Tsuruno gives beautifully wrapped chocolates to Iroha, Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana and Ui at Mikazuki Villa. Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;

* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day during lunch break, Kanagi goes to Himika’s classroom, telling her she just wanted to see her face, which Himika finds strange.&lt;br /&gt;
** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Finding Our Formula|Finding Our Formula]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Hinano and Emiri attend a chemistry event. Hinano is excited to see a chemist who reminds her of the woman she idolized as a child—a tall, long-legged lady who taught fun chemistry experiments. Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic|Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls finish dinner. Tsuruno and Felicia complain about going to the same public pool every summer. Yachiyo receives a phone call from a distant relative who runs a hotel. The relative needs help cleaning the hotel pool because the usual staff are sick. Yachiyo hesitates due to her modeling schedule. The girls offer to help. Yachiyo calls back and confirms they will come.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group arrives at the hotel and Yachiyo&#039;s relative, an older woman, greets them warmly. She says she used to hang out with Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river. Tsuruno and Felicia compete to see who can clean faster, inventing names for their techniques. Yachiyo scolds them for being inefficient. They eventually work together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha slips and falls but is not hurt. Felicia sprays Yachiyo with the hose and Yachiyo chases her. After a few hours, they finish cleaning. The relative rewards them with fluffy shaved ice.&lt;br /&gt;
** The pool is now clean and filled with water. The girls swim and play. Tsuruno and Felicia bring water guns and spray Yachiyo. Yachiyo chases them and gets out of the pool to walk upstream, eventually catching them. They all have fun.&lt;br /&gt;
** As they leave, the relative thanks them but reveals the pool may not open after all due to unforeseen issues. Everyone is shocked.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic|Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic]]&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls are about to leave when the relative reveals the pool may not open because support staff from the southern islands are delayed by a typhoon. Tsuruno volunteers the group to help until the staff arrives. Yachiyo worries they might cause trouble, but Iroha, Ui, and Sana want to try. They agree to help. Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the next day, the group arrives at the pool for opening day. Yachiyo handles reception. The ticket scanner malfunctions and a line forms. Mitama appears—she had plans with Iroha that were canceled. She offers to help and fixes the scanner by hitting it. The staff member returns and takes over.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama notices Yachiyo has something on her mind and suggests she talk to someone she trusts. Iroha later asks Yachiyo to help with a crowded lunch area. Ui is taking orders with Sana&#039;s invisible help making drinks.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral. Yachiyo admits she was worried about everyone but sees they are doing fine. Iroha tells Yachiyo it is okay to worry because she cares, and they can solve problems together. Iroha notices Yachiyo has been down and offers to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
** A foam machine malfunctions, spewing foam everywhere. A guest slips and falls. The group splits up to clean the foam and help guests. Mitama fixes the machine with a whack. The support staff arrives. The girls finally have time to enjoy the pool.&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models.

They became close and talked openly with each other for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo too formal and uptight, while Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukuyo was devastated.

Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
** She met a girl named &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; N told Kako who was responsible and what she needed to do to destroy them. Kako clung to her. She later learned N was manipulative and saw others as pawns. Kako hates N and wants revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found herself in a Labyrinth. Nanaka fought off Familiars but was overwhelmed. Kyubey offered Kako the chance to become a Magical Girl.

She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kako learned Nanaka faked her struggle to entrap her into making the wish. Nanaka had pulled this trick on others to use them as pawns. Kako could not forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako and Nanaka fought Witches together. Nanaka encouraged Kako and told her she was better suited to being a Magical Girl than Nanaka was. Kako wanted to get stronger. Nanaka wrote a letter confessing her deception and asking Kako to kill her. Kako made up her mind to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka. She returned it unopened, saying it seemed wrong to read something Nanaka only sent by accident. Nanaka smiled and said Kako was dazzling. She said she would try to tell Kako her feelings in person someday.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako thinks Nanaka overestimates her, but she is no longer as scared and helpless as she used to be. She is a Magical Girl who protects the city by Nanaka&#039;s side.&lt;br /&gt;

** Kokoro wishes to go home. She feels dizzy again. She hears her parents calling her name. She wakes up to find she had collapsed. Her parents found her and called an ambulance. She is taken to the hospital. She wonders if the parallel world was real or just a dream.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Kokoro&#039;s parents bake cookies together. They include her in the process. Her mother sings a version of the cookie song with different lyrics—&amp;quot;stir, stir, stir them well, that taste of happiness.&amp;quot; Kokoro asks her mother to sing the old part. Her mother says she just did. Kokoro changes her mind and says she does not want to hear it anymore. She prefers these cookies, the ones the three of them made together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Himika Mao&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Lucky Break Lost &amp;amp; Found===&lt;br /&gt;
* Himika Mao reflects on her life. Her family is far from rich, so when her dad got sick and collapsed, her whole world went dark. But it was her family&#039;s smiling faces that kept her going through it all. That is why she will continue to fight to protect them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Himika goes shopping for bargains and wins a grand prize from a drawing: a 2-night stay at a luxury hotel with a pool on a tropical island, complete with meals. She is thrilled to take her whole family. She hides the ticket in a Baby Bunny pouch for safekeeping.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Himika&#039;s father worked day and night to support their family of eight. He collapsed from overwork. He survived but could not work like before. The family was running out of money. Her siblings fought and cried. Her father suggested they all live in different facilities. Himika made a wish to Kyubey to cure her father. She became a Magical Girl. Her father recovered, and her family returned to a normal, peaceful life.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present Day) Himika&#039;s friends Kako and Ayame visit. Himika cannot find the ticket. She realizes she mistook the pouch for a stuffed animal and sent it away in a box of Mocha Bunny dolls for a crane game prize. She calls the shipping company, but the boxes have already been handed to a subcontractor.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama suggests having Himika&#039;s father call the subcontractor to track down the pouch. Himika&#039;s father does so. The company says they will search for it.&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Rena calls Himika. She saw the Baby Bunny pouch in a crane game at an arcade. Himika, Kako, Ayame, Rena, and Kaede go to the arcade. The pouch is in the replenishment case, meaning Himika must win all the Mocha Bunnies already out to reach it. Himika decides to use a strategy but is short on money.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika observes other players to learn techniques, calling it &amp;quot;crane training.&amp;quot; She strategizes to create an avalanche by knocking down piles of plushies. She successfully clears most of the machine. The staff restocks the machine, placing the pouch inside surrounded by four giant Mocha Bunnies.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika aims to move two bunnies out of the way to reach the pouch. She successfully clears the pandas and one bunny. She realizes there are two Baby Bunny pouches, not one. She cannot tell which is hers. She has only three tries left. She misses on two tries. On her final try, she aims for both pouches at once and succeeds. The crowd applauds.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Himika&#039;s family goes on the tropical vacation. She explains that when she asked Kyubey to cure her dad, what she really wanted was for her family to be back together. She later learns from a staff member that if she had explained the situation at first, they would have just given her the pouch back. All&#039;s well that ends well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ren Isuzu&#039;s Heartphial Story: Color to a Colorless World===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren Isuzu reflects on her life. She tried to end it twice, but now she is living her life. On the day she was saved, she found a shining light here in this world, and it made her think it is not worth giving up on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before becoming meguca). Ren writes in her journal and draws illustrations. She tells a story about a bear cub who lives in a gray world after dying. The bear cub is happy because no one will be mean to her anymore. Ren realizes she is the bear cub. She has been bullied her whole life. She tried to kill herself but did not want to die. Kyubey appeared and granted her wish to live. She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey told her that Witches can cause bullying. Ren decided to fight Witches to build a kinder world. But she realized that some people are just bad, and defeating Witches does not change that. She attempted suicide again. Rika found her and stopped her. Rika became her light. Rika introduced her to new friends and gave her presents. Rika said that as long as you have one shining thing in the world, you can keep going.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (present) Ren and Rika go shopping. Ren finds an earring someone dropped and returns it. The owner is grateful. Ren feels happy and buys a colored pencil. She thinks about adding color to her bear story. She decides to use the Cherry Pink pencil because Rika loves pink. She writes about a Spirit of Light that appears before the bear cub and shows her that the world is not actually gray—it is full of colors.&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri shows Ren a kaleidoscope. Hinano invites her to make one. Akira helps her carry a package. Konomi gives her flowers. Kanoko shows her a mushroom-themed clothing design. Ren writes about the bear cub meeting a Spirit of Light with many friends—a butterfly, a shrub, a lion, a tulip, and a mushroom. The Gray World gradually takes on color. The bear cub does not want it to end.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren invites Rika to a picture book exhibition. Rika declines because she has plans. Ren is rejected and embarrassed. She invites Rika to a teddy bear exhibition. Rika declines again, saying she has lessons. Ren is sad. She sees Rika with Emiri and Kanoko, and Rika says she has no lessons. Ren feels betrayed. The bear cub realizes the Spirit of Light is disappearing from her world. The world goes back to gray.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika messages Ren, apologizing and saying she was planning a surprise birthday party. Ren does not reply. She hides in a dark room at school. Rika finds her and calls her instead of opening the door. Rika explains she wanted to surprise Ren. She gives Ren a set of 12 colored pencils with a carved lily of the valley on the case. Ren cries and thanks her. The bear cub looks up and sees the Spirit of Light smiling at her. Her world is once again filled with light.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren buys another colored pencil. She notices the name is &amp;quot;Blue Sky&amp;quot; instead of &amp;quot;Sky Blue.&amp;quot; She hears a voice talking about the Rumor of Parallel Memories. She feels dizzy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren dreams she is dead. She cannot see or touch her parents. They mourn her suicide. She never became a Magical Girl and never met Rika. She watches her friends go to the teddy bear exhibition without her. She is invisible. She feels awful and wants to go back to the land of the living. She remembers the colored pencil with the different name—that must be the proof of another world. She holds it and wishes to live. She wakes up. It was all a dream. Rika messages her to join everyone for snacks. Ren goes to meet them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren finishes her bear story. The gatekeeper asks the bear cub if she has any regrets. The bear cub says yes. She wishes to leave behind her journal, filled with entries about the Spirit of Light and all the sparkles she showed her. The gatekeeper opens the gates. The bear cub does not say goodbye because she knows she will see the Spirit of Light again someday in the World of Light. Ren realizes the bear cub is reborn, just like she was when she met Rika and her friends. She can live in a world full of color.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Childhood) Konoha&#039;s father was a businessman whose business went bankrupt after she was born. He died from stress, and her mother passed away soon after. Konoha was sent to an orphanage called Azalea House. Her heart was frozen, but the director&#039;s kindness slowly brought color back to her world. She met Hazuki and Ayame there. They became sisters bound by a bond stronger than blood. The director treated them like family.&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before becoming Magical Girls) Azalea House was to be torn down due to unknown powerful forces. The stress of it claimed the director&#039;s life. Kyubey appeared and offered contracts. Konoha wanted to become a Magical Girl alone to protect her sisters, but they insisted on joining her. They made their wishes: Konoha wished for the Azalea House to last forever. Hazuki wished to eliminate all causes that threatened it. Ayame wished for everyone at the orphanage to forget they were ever there. They left Azalea House and have lived together ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Konoha visits Azalea House with Hazuki and Ayame. She reflects on their journey. They part ways, and Konoha goes to the department store sale to buy truffles. She bumps into Kanoko and swaps bags by accident. She ends up with chocolate truffles instead of mushroom ones. Mitama messages Kanoko, who replies with emojis indicating she is near the Kamihama University Affiliated School. Konoha and Mitama go to find her.&lt;br /&gt;
** They find Kanoko chasing a bus. She left her bag on the bus. They catch up to the bus, but the bag is already gone. Mitama contacts Asuka, who picked up the bag for safekeeping. They go to the dojo where Asuka teaches. Asuka reveals she bumped into Momoko at a convenience store and may have switched bags again. Mitama tries to contact Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, but none of them answer. They fear the team may have encountered a strong Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha and Asuka search for Momoko&#039;s team. They enter a Labyrinth and find Nanaka&#039;s team struggling against a Witch. They help defeat it. Nanaka&#039;s team has not seen Momoko. Everyone fears the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to Mitama&#039;s shop and Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive unharmed. They had turned off their phones to watch a movie. Momoko reveals she left the bag at Blossom. Konoha goes to Blossom and retrieves her truffles. She also receives free flowers because today is a special anniversary.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha explains to Mitama that today is the anniversary of the day the three sisters left Azalea House and started living together. She wants to make it a special day for Ayame and Hazuki.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Hazuki Yusa&#039;s Heartphial Story: The Distance Between Us===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki Yusa reflects on her life. Azalea House was the place that taught her to smile again, the place that rescued her from the torment she covered up with a false grin. She was not going to lose it, no matter what it took.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A teacher asks Hazuki to deliver worksheets to Nanaka. Hazuki is reluctant because Konoha distrusts Nanaka after an incident where Nanaka&#039;s team tricked them into fighting a powerful Witch. Hazuki delivers the worksheets. Nanaka suggests they should share information without secrets. Hazuki agrees to try building trust, but she remains wary.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki arrives at the school camp. She is assigned to orienteering setup with Nanaka. They are paired together by random draw. They work through checkpoints. The map notes are outdated, and they get lost. It starts raining heavily.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the storm, the rope bridge collapses due to the rain. Hazuki and Nanaka cannot cross the river. They find an old shack for shelter. They huddle together for warmth. Hazuki shares her past: her parents died in an accident when she was young. She was shuffled between relatives until she ended up at Azalea House. She learned to hide her fear behind a smile. The director taught her to smile when her heart truly felt it. She met Konoha and Ayame there. They became family. They made wishes to protect Azalea House and left to live together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka listens quietly. She says she finally understands Hazuki&#039;s true self. Nanaka grows pale and cold. Hazuki worries she might collapse. Hazuki insists they huddle closer. Nanaka admits she is cold. They wait together.&lt;br /&gt;
** The rain stops. Akira and others find them at the shack. They are taken back to camp. The nurse checks them. Hazuki and Nanaka are cleared to stay. Nanaka is grateful for Hazuki&#039;s help.

&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame writes a letter to the Director, the late head of Azalea House. She explains that she, Konoha, and Hazuki are Magical Girls now. Konoha warns Ayame to stay away from Nanaka&#039;s team after a recent incident. Ayame agrees but secretly plans to meet up with Kako anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayame and Kako meet in secret. They are friends but cannot openly hang out because their teams do not get along. Ayame complains about the situation. Kako shows her a book about ocean adventures. Ayame becomes curious about whether the ocean boils when the sun sets. They decide to go to the beach together to find out.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame and Kako take a train and a bus toward the beach. Ayame is excited. Konoha calls and texts repeatedly, but Ayame ignores her. They get off the bus when it breaks down and take a detour. They discover a field of sunflowers. They share cup noodles together. Ayame turns off her phone. Kako also ignores Nanaka&#039;s messages to focus on their adventure. They finally reach the beach and watch the sunset together. Ayame still cannot tell if the ocean boils, but she is happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback - Azalea House) Ayame dreams of the Director. She remembers the day Azalea House was going to be torn down. The Director had already passed away. Konoha, Hazuki, and Ayame met Kyubey and decided to become Magical Girls. Ayame wished for Azalea House to stay open forever. Konoha wished to eliminate all threats to it. They decided on a third wish: to have everyone at Azalea House forget they were ever there. They left the orphanage and started living together. Ayame remembers Konoha&#039;s promise that they would always be together. She reflects on her conflict with Konoha over her friendship with Kako. She wishes the Director could tell her what to do.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame wakes up at Kako&#039;s relatives&#039; house. Konoha has arrived. She found Ayame by asking Nanaka to track Kako&#039;s location. Ayame refuses to go home, saying Konoha has been stifling her. She promises to tell Konoha where she is next time. Konoha apologizes. She did not realize how her words were making Ayame feel. She promises to talk things through with Hazuki and Ayame. Kako is relieved. Ayame treasures the memory of her adventure. She promises never to forget it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Masara Kagami&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Flame Kindled in the Vastness===&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara Kagami reflects on her life. After becoming a Magical Girl, not much felt dramatically different. But encounters and experiences since have changed her. She thinks her dull and pointless life has just gotten a little more colorful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara finds the world boring. She is good at swimming but lacks passion. Kyubey appears and offers her any wish. She wishes for a load of money and becomes a Magical Girl. She fights Witches, and the excitement fades quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara meets Kokoro Awane in a Labyrinth. Kokoro is uncomfortable with Masara&#039;s reckless fighting and tells her to protect herself more. Masara says she does not care if she dies. Kokoro says her family would care. Masara questions why Kokoro blames herself for her family&#039;s problems. Kokoro asks if they can stick together. Masara agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a Witch hunt, they&#039;re attacked by a Witch and Masara takes a hit to protect Kokoro. She gets a scar. She starts avoiding Kokoro because she does not understand her feelings. Mitama explains that Masara fears seeing Kokoro get hurt, so she avoids her to prevent that pain. Masara realizes she fears losing Kokoro, so they reconcile.&lt;br /&gt;
* The swim club announces the relay team. Masara is chosen but declines, saying she is not good at team sports. Koshino, who has always been second to Masara, is chosen as her replacement. Koshino vows to beat Masara&#039;s record.&lt;br /&gt;
* While Kokoro and Masara go on patrol, they see Koshino training alone after school hours. Koshino tells Masara she beat her personal record. Masara is puzzled by Koshino&#039;s passion.&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Masara passes Koshino training again. They start talking about her times regularly. Kokoro notes that Koshino will never catch up to Masara&#039;s times. Masara wonders what drives Koshino.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days before the competition, Koshino beats Masara&#039;s record once. The swim club captain praises her. Masara feels something but cannot identify it. She is not annoyed. She does not know what she feels.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day before the competition, Koshino has an accident and cannot compete. Masara agrees to take her place. She is surprised by her own motivation. Kokoro notices the change.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the competition, Masara swims well. Her team finishes second, but she was in the lead when passing the baton. Koshino comes to watch and thanks Masara for doing the race for her. Kokoro says Masara has changed. Masara decides she wants to keep swimming a while longer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika Ayano&#039;s Heartphial Story: Haunting Love, Haunting Mistake===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika Ayano reflects on her life. She does not want to feel like she became a Magical Girl for nothing. She got to see what dating is like and made loads of friends. But sins do not wash away so easily. That is the price you pay for a miracle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback, but the entirety seems like mostly a flashback) Kyubey offers Rika any wish in exchange for becoming a Magical Girl. Hinano warns her not to do it, but Rika ignores the advice. She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Riko Chiaki&#039;s Heartphial Story: Worked Out with a Woof===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki reflects on her life. Even though her mom and dad were hardly home because of work, she never felt lonely as long as Miss K was around. She cared about her so much that she just wanted to help her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback) Riko helps out at her parents&#039; bento store. She is close with Miss K, the daughter of the hardware store owner next door. Miss K has always been like a big sister to her. Miss K cries to Riko that her father opposes her marriage because he does not want her to move far away. Riko wishes to Kyubey for Miss K&#039;s marriage to be accepted. She becomes a Magical Girl. Miss K gets married and moves away. Riko misses her but does not regret her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Riko goes filming with Ashley. She tells Ashley about Miss K. She explains that Miss K&#039;s father never fully accepted the marriage, and they have not made up. Riko receives a message from Miss K saying she was in the hospital because she was pregnant. She invites Riko to visit her new house. Riko goes and meets the baby. Miss K asks Riko to be friends with her child. Riko becomes like a big sister to the baby. She feels happy that her wish came true but is sad Miss K and her father never reconciled.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko walks Mameji and sees Miss K&#039;s father standing outside the hardware store, looking sad. She wonders what is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley advises Riko to ask Miss K directly if she wants to make up with her father. Riko texts Miss K and asks to meet. Miss K replies that she will come to Riko&#039;s town instead. Riko is excited.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Miss K visits Riko. They talk about her father. Miss K says she wants to make up with him but does not know how. Riko suggests inviting him to meet the baby, giving him a present, or going on a family trip. Miss K doubts any of it will work. They walk to Riko&#039;s store together. They encounter Miss K&#039;s father outside. Riko admits she asked Miss K to come so they could patch things up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Miss K&#039;s father reveals he brought a herbarium to Riko&#039;s store. It was originally meant as a gift for his grandchild, but he could not bring himself to deliver it. Riko realizes Mameji had been guiding her this whole time. Earlier, Mameji had barked at the cake that turned out to be from Miss K&#039;s father. Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky. She realizes she is dying, having protected Yachiyo. She remembers how everyone was fighting for dear life. She wished she were stronger to help them. She is sorry for not being stronger. She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ashley Taylor&#039;s Heartphial Story: Can&#039;t Be Myself Without What I Love===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley Taylor reflects on her life. Studying in Japan is awesome fun. She wants to find more kawaii for her vlog viewers back home and asks her father to watch over her while she pursues her passions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley vlogs with Riko&#039;s help. She films herself shopping for Magical Kirin merch and gurokawa items. After editing and uploading the video, she replies to comments from her followers. She thinks about her father and hopes he is watching.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley remembers the day she wanted to study abroad in Japan. Her father refused without giving a clear reason, which was unusual. Kyubey appeared and offered to grant any wish. Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko notices Ashley seems down. She worries Ashley is overworking herself by vlogging daily and replying to comments late at night. Ashley says it does not feel like work because she loves it. She thanks Riko for being a kind friend. They go out to film another vlog.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley continues vlogging daily. She worries about skipping a day because her followers might unfollow her. She wakes up to find Kumanosuke missing. She panics, feeling like her world is ending. Riko arrives with a bento and finds Ashley crying. Ashley explains she lost Kumanosuke. Riko comforts her and says it is okay to skip a vlog. Ashley admits she has been using followers&#039; comments to fill the hole left by her father&#039;s death. Riko says she understands loss—she misses her sister who moved far away. They decide to search for Kumanosuke.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko suggests Ashley ask her followers for help finding Kumanosuke. During a live stream, a commenter suggests rewatching her previous vlog. Ashley realizes she left Kumanosuke on a chair when she got distracted by a crane machine. They find Kumanosuke on a shelf at the store, dressed in Waloli Gurokawa clothes. Ashley gets him back. She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Wait, You Got It Wrong!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayu Kozue&#039;s most treasured possession is a bear pendant her father carved for her before he died. When a hand-drawn postcard is stolen from the museum where she works, security footage shows her friend Ria at the scene moments later. Mayu cannot reach Ria and suspects a Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~|Wait, You Got It Wrong! / Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While searching for Ria, Mayu encounters Asuka Tatsuki, whose family&#039;s invaluable book of secrets was also stolen. A witness described a blonde girl in a Mizuna uniform—Ria. They find Sayuki Fumino crying over her stolen sword book, then Rena Minami who was bumped by the same girl. At Walnut&#039;s restaurant, Manaka Kurumi accuses Ria of stealing a rice omelet. A Witch barrier appears, and after Mayu and Asuka defeat the Familiars, Ria arrives demanding to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka challenges Ria to a duel over the thefts, and Ria loses. She confesses to something embarrassing, and everyone assumes she means the thefts—but she meant a binder of idol clippings she desperately hopes no one saw. She was only chasing the Witch to recover her own stolen belongings. Relieved, Mayu and Asuka join her. They track and defeat the Witch, recovering most items, but the museum postcard, the dojo book, and Ria&#039;s binder remain missing. They agree to search again tomorrow. That night, Mayu dreams of her father, who tells her material things are destined to break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, thefts continue across the city. Mayu realizes the Witch they defeated was only a Familiar and the real Witch is still out there. She offers her precious pendant as bait to track it. Despite Ria&#039;s protests, Mayu uses it, and they follow the magic trail to the Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After a difficult battle, they recover all stolen items, though Mayu&#039;s pendant is scratched and its chain broken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu is unbothered. She explains that material possessions naturally break, but the memories they hold remain in her heart—a lesson from her father. Asuka and Ria are moved, and Mayu turns to walk home, promptly falls into a lake, and flounders while Ria sighs that she has not changed at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor she calls Miss K. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Miss K with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Miss K&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Miss K to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Villa. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;
~A Little Break For Us~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===This is The Warmest Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha is going about her day when Sana, Felicia, and Ui present her with a pinwheel and ask her to blow on it. Though confused by their strange behavior, Iroha does as they ask and the girls thank her before quickly scampering off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~#This Is The Warmest Day Login Special|This is The Warmest Day]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts. When Yachiyo asks Iroha&#039;s opinion, Iroha expresses her love for shortcake and suggests they bake one immediately, but Yachiyo insists she wait for the right moment, which will come sooner than she thinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Lavi is shopping when Nayuta finds her to share news about her math test score. They return home where Lavi prepares dinner, and Nayuta discovers Lavi earned perfect scores in every subject, highlighting the gap between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House|The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day while Lavi runs errands, Nayuta confides in Mikage about her fears that Lavi only respects her father and secretly resents serving her. Seeking answers, Nayuta visits Mitama, who suggests that kindness and broad-mindedness are the traits she needs to develop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Nayuta observes how hard Lavi works attending school, studying, handling housework, and fighting witches. Worried she might collapse, Nayuta offers Lavi time off for her upcoming sixteenth birthday and secretly plans a surprise party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later on Lavi&#039;s birthday, Nayuta and Mikage struggle through cleaning the house and preparing a celebration. Their efforts are interrupted when Lavi returns early for lunch, scolds them for the mess, but leaves again at Nayuta&#039;s insistence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Lavi returns that evening, the handmade kusudama falls onto the cake and catches fire. Lavi extinguishes it with water, and Nayuta is left mortified as her surprise party fails spectacularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Nayuta senses lingering coldness from Lavi and struggles to find the right way to apologize. Remembering her father&#039;s example, she decides to catch and cook a fish as an apology gift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day at a fishing center, Nayuta encounters girls from the Tokime clan who teach her how to gut fish. Despite being disturbed by the process, she perseveres and eventually catches the exact fish she wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning home late, Nayuta discovers a threatening letter addressed to Lavi and deduces it must be connected to the serious trouble from Lavi&#039;s hometown. She rushes to the market street with Mikage to protect her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the market street, Nayuta confronts the man speaking with Lavi, declaring herself as Satomi Tasuke&#039;s daughter to intimidate him. The man reveals he is simply a stalker with no connection to Lavi&#039;s past, and when he becomes agitated, Nayuta tackles him unconscious as a crowd applauds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Nayuta presents the cooked fish and apologizes. Lavi admits she was barely angry anymore and thanks Nayuta for protecting her, acknowledging she was just like her father in that moment. Nayuta produces a second kusudama and cake, and this time the celebration succeeds. As they pick confetti from the cake, Lavi quietly says she will continue to admire Nayuta until the final day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Always Waving my Hand at You===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Sakuya wakes from another nightmare about the Futatsugi war, where she killed her best friend. She resolves to continue her undercover mission at Iroha&#039;s school and avoid friendships at all costs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Always Waving my Hand at You|Always Waving my Hand at You / I’ll Keep Waving at You]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakuya maintains her isolation at school. After fighting a Witch, she is approached by Ryoko from the Tokime Clan, who persistently tries to befriend her despite Sakuya&#039;s refusal. Ryoko notices Sakuya&#039;s exhaustion and decides something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ryoko tracks Sakuya down at her school, creating a scene about missing shoes that sparks gossip. After learning Sakuya may be engineering her own isolation, Ryoko continues her efforts to help, but Sakuya runs away each time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Ryoko investigates and discovers Sakuya hid her own shoes and started the gossip to isolate herself. Sakuya confesses she killed her best friend in the war and must remain alone to avoid hurting anyone else. Ryoko declares she will save Sakuya by becoming her best friend, and they fight until exhausted. That night, Sakuya dreams of her deceased friend, who thanks her and tells her to move forward. She wakes to find Ryoko collapsed from hunger, and they talk for hours like ordinary friends. Though they agree they cannot meet again until the battles are over, they promise to become true friends then.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the following days, Sakuya returns to normal life by socializing with classmates, sleeping better, and regaining her spirits. Ryoko gains a new goal: to free Sakuya from the things that bind her, once and for all, when the time is right.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls in Kush, who transforms into a vampire and she wins the contest. Natsuki takes second place and Karin takes third place. A commemorative photo is taken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin completes her manga, &amp;quot;The Pumpkin King and the Ghost Servant.&amp;quot; She shows it to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede who praise it, giving it 100 points or more. Kaede appreciates the happy ending. Karin is moved by Kaede&#039;s approval. Manaka arrives with pumpkin pie for a taste test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the Sakae Halloween Festa, Karin arrives at the festival in her Pumpkin King costume. Alina is also present, already dressed as the ghost servant from Karin&#039;s manga. Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head of the executive committee thanks Karin for recommending Alina as the face of the event. Karin reflects on her hope that Alina will one day atone for her sins and reach a happy ending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Shizuka, Sunao, and Chiharu look through a Valentine&#039;s Day feature in Kamihama&#039;s free newspaper. Shizuka is embarrassed to see her photo distributed around town, but Chiharu reassures her the photo is cute and the experience gave them a happy memory. They spot a feature on the chocolate shop Shizuka visited and decide to bring all the Tokime girls next time. The newspaper also includes messages from other magical girls offering homemade chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Bittersweet AI Memory#Kamihama Chocolate Girls|Kamihama Chocolate Girls]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage is delighted to see her photo in the newspaper and finds it funny that the article claims she made chocolate with her sister. Mitama suggests it was artistic license. Mikage wonders if she might become famous but worries about sketchy people, and Mitama jokingly offers to beat them up. Mikage asks if they can make real chocolate together, but Mitama needs to go to her coordinator shop. Mikage promises to do things that make her sister smile instead, and Mitama suggests they make Valentine&#039;s chocolate together next year. Mikage eagerly agrees to practice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choc&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Promised Blood&#039;s base, Yuna notices her teammates have been acting strangely, as Sakuya reads romance columns, Juri studies constantly, and Urara stares at Hikaru without speaking. After the meeting, Yuna confides in Hikaru that she feels guilty for not noticing everyone&#039;s exhaustion and decides to solve each person&#039;s problems personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend. Though relieved it&#039;s not her own love life, Yuna insists on helping anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s place, the group brainstorms confession advice. The conversation shifts when Ao receives a text from her parents—she&#039;s been lying to them about her late nights as a magical girl, claiming she&#039;s in an e-sports tournament. To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the online tournament, chaos ensues as Juri attacks teammates, Hikaru sets the kitchen on fire, and Yuna fails at selling merchandise. Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the student council meeting, Yuna honestly requests more time to handle personal matters, promising to dedicate herself fully afterward. The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka-senpai&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Day in the Life of Madoka-senpai===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

==Magia Record Events==&lt;br /&gt;
===See You Tomorrow===&lt;br /&gt;
* One morning at the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira greets an older neighbor who warns her about increasing danger in the area. Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor she calls Miss K. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Miss K with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Miss K&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Miss K to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Always Waving my Hand at You===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Sakuya wakes from another nightmare about the Futatsugi war, where she killed her best friend. She resolves to continue her undercover mission at Iroha&#039;s school and avoid friendships at all costs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Always Waving my Hand at You|Always Waving my Hand at You / I’ll Keep Waving at You]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakuya maintains her isolation at school. After fighting a Witch, she is approached by Ryoko from the Tokime Clan, who persistently tries to befriend her despite Sakuya&#039;s refusal. Ryoko notices Sakuya&#039;s exhaustion and decides something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ryoko tracks Sakuya down at her school, creating a scene about missing shoes that sparks gossip. After learning Sakuya may be engineering her own isolation, Ryoko continues her efforts to help, but Sakuya runs away each time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Ryoko investigates and discovers Sakuya hid her own shoes and started the gossip to isolate herself. Sakuya confesses she killed her best friend in the war and must remain alone to avoid hurting anyone else. Ryoko declares she will save Sakuya by becoming her best friend, and they fight until exhausted. That night, Sakuya dreams of her deceased friend, who thanks her and tells her to move forward. She wakes to find Ryoko collapsed from hunger, and they talk for hours like ordinary friends. Though they agree they cannot meet again until the battles are over, they promise to become true friends then.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the following days, Sakuya returns to normal life by socializing with classmates, sleeping better, and regaining her spirits. Ryoko gains a new goal: to free Sakuya from the things that bind her, once and for all, when the time is right.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them. The girl agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, finishing the final preparations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day of the school festival proceeds without major incident. Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, sampling food and enjoying the event. They take a photo together at the repaired arch—Tsumugi, Manaka, and the transfer student in her uniform. The transfer student reflects later that she will cherish the photo forever, grateful for the kindness she did not feel she deserved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Manor. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;

** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The play is a fairy tale about an ancient Mizuna legend. Two girls, Tsuyu and Chizuru, befriend each other despite their families&#039; rivalry and join forces to punish a selfish lord. Yachiyo plays Tsuyu, the ice queen with a heart of gold. Tsuruno plays Chizuru, the cheerful and impetuous girl. Sayuki plays the Magpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** During the script reading, everyone realizes Yachiyo&#039;s acting skills are still terrible. Yachiyo confides that she has turned down many acting jobs but accepted this one because the director begged her, even if she flops. She vows to see it through to expand her repertoire. Tsuruno promises to stay by her side.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria is in shock seeing her idol perform poorly. The filmmakers work around it by taking away Yachiyo&#039;s lines. Ria confronts Yachiyo and Tsuruno after the reading, declaring she will give Yachiyo an acting bootcamp. She does not want Yachiyo&#039;s performance to drag down her makeup work or her reputation as Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at home, Yachiyo reviews the script. Tsuruno explains the Mizuna fairy tale to the rest of Mikazuki. Felicia becomes interested when she learns there are fight scenes. Tsuruno explains that the day Tsuyu and Chizuru teamed up was Tanabata, and people in Kamihama entrust their wishes to them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next week or so, Yachiyo is drilled on acting with a professional coach and Ria&#039;s guidance. She eventually executes her lines perfectly and Ria is relieved.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sea is a Link Through Time /  The Call of the Open Sea===&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. There&#039;s two different versions at hand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Momoko and Mitama arrive at a resort near a village with a legend about a Diviner who eloped with a sailor and sank with stolen treasure. Mitama reveals they are actually there to hunt for this treasure based on a fairy tale Mikage heard. While exploring the private beach, they encounter Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao from the Tokime Clan, who stumbled there by accident. The group decides to spend the day together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|The Call of the Open Sea]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, they attend a festival in a nearby village that turns out to be a branch of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka learns the villagers consider Diviners a superstition. Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Promised Blood&#039;s base, Yuna notices her teammates have been acting strangely, as Sakuya reads romance columns, Juri studies constantly, and Urara stares at Hikaru without speaking. After the meeting, Yuna confides in Hikaru that she feels guilty for not noticing everyone&#039;s exhaustion and decides to solve each person&#039;s problems personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend. Though relieved it&#039;s not her own love life, Yuna insists on helping anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s place, the group brainstorms confession advice. The conversation shifts when Ao receives a text from her parents—she&#039;s been lying to them about her late nights as a magical girl, claiming she&#039;s in an e-sports tournament. To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the online tournament, chaos ensues as Juri attacks teammates, Hikaru sets the kitchen on fire, and Yuna fails at selling merchandise. Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the student council meeting, Yuna honestly requests more time to handle personal matters, promising to dedicate herself fully afterward. The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Big Sis, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Felicia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward. Kyubey finds a fuming Felicia, who decides to hire herself out as a mercenary to other magical girls for money or Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Felicia Mitsuki#Side Story|Felicia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia encounters Asuka and Sasara and defeats a witch for them, but they let her keep the Grief Seed and leave without paying, leaving her frustrated. Kako appears, concerned, but Felicia rejects her harshly and immediately regrets it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia helps defeat the witch and collapses from exhaustion, silently vowing to destroy every witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Touka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She excitedly shares this revelation with her family and friends and resolves to work hard toward this future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art. The Amanes are relieved, and Tsukuyo suggests they play their flutes at the shrine on the way home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo thinks the flute&#039;s song has always warmed her heart, while Tsukasa reflects it is a bridge connecting her to her sister. Both affirm that their only allies are each other, and they will always be together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends. Before Hibari&#039;s family moved away, she performed a charm ritual on Aru and promised they would meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message that Hibari is coming to visit Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After some confusion about directions, they reach the arcade where Hibari wins a crane game prize and helps Juri win one too.

Kagome calls her and Hibari thanks her for being friends before saying goodbye, with an ambulance audible in the background.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome discovers a crowd under a Witch&#039;s Kiss heading toward a rooftop and sends emergency messages to every Magical Girl she knows. Himena&#039;s group arrives to help hold back the crowd, but other girls cannot come due to similar incidents elsewhere. Shizuka finally checks her phone and rushes over with the Tokime Clan just as someone threatens to ignite kerosene. They stop the crowd while Juri and Ao defeat the Witch with Livia&#039;s help. The Witch&#039;s Kiss is lifted and Hibari wakes up confused, with Livia covering that she collapsed from anemia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari admits she felt faint because seeing Kagome surrounded by friends made her happy but also made her feel left behind and alone. Kagome insists Hibari is wrong and promises to come running whenever Hibari is in trouble, asking them to stay best friends forever. Hibari reveals the two wishes she made when they parted came true: that she could speak her mind loudly and that Kagome would make lots of friends. They renew their promise to remain best friends forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari. They bonded over a shared love of &amp;quot;The Adventure of Mandragora.&amp;quot; Hibari gave Kagome a Mandragora plushie named Al-chan and asked to be friends. Kagome learned ventriloquism through Al-chan and grew more confident. The two became inseparable.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kagome&#039;s family moved due to her father&#039;s job transfer, Hibari put a charm on Al-chan with a secret wish. They promised to meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message from Hibari saying she will visit Kamihama. Kagome prepares to show her around.&lt;br /&gt;

** A large group of people under Witch&#039;s Kisses begins heading toward a rooftop. Kagome coordinates with nearby Magical Girls for help. Himena, Shigure, Miyuri, and Yuna hold them off. Reinforcements from other Magical Girls are delayed due to incidents elsewhere. The situation grows dire.&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka finally checks her phone and sees Kagome&#039;s emergency messages. The Tokime Clan arrives and helps stop the crowd. Juri and Ao defeat the Witch. Livia appears to assist. Everyone is safe.&lt;br /&gt;

They promise to remain best friends forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

*Day 2 (Flashback)&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna explains that Juri lost to her and her senpai, which is why she joined Torayamachi. The group hunted Kyubey to stop him from recruiting Magical Girls. Kyubey agreed to leave Futatsugi. With Kyubey gone, Witches decreased, creating a Grief Seed shortage. Yuna proposed an expedition to find new territory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Day 3&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri&#039;s father came home late, discussing his upcoming land deal and boxing match against an old rival. He said he could not ignore past stains and needed to win.

* Day 4&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri struggled at school, frustrated by classmates who avoided conflict and teachers who enabled them. Her anger built up. She reflected on how she became a Magical Girl—she wished for a patient, stout heart to stay in school and not burden her father. The wish gave her patience but did not eliminate her anger; it built up as flames until she exploded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl Yuna introduced continued to spar with Juri. The girl revealed Juri had saved her from a Witch, and she admired Juri.

* Day 5&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri prepared for their duel. Ryuugasaki and Torayamachi factions learned of the fight and gathered to watch, tensions rising. Juri&#039;s father won his boxing match and land deal. Juri and Yuna fought. Juri screamed that she wanted to fight the Yuna who had defeated her, not her ally. The girl rushed in to stop them. Juri&#039;s attack could not be stopped, and she fatally struck the girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 6&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri was in shock. The factions argued, blaming each other. Juri silenced them, declared she would leave Torayamachi, and announced Ryuugasaki&#039;s independence. She told her followers to follow her. Yuna said she hated Juri. Juri said she had put a nail in Yuna&#039;s coffin and dared her to pry it out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 7 (Present Day)&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri explained the rest of the story to the group. The accident triggered the Blood Tragedy of Futatsugi. Ranka had been exploited by Monzenbashi Bat, and Ao formed Janomiya. Juri reflected that the recent months had been the toughest. She came home late again. Her father asked about her absences. Juri said she was fighting for the future and would explain in a few months. She reflected on how much she and her father were alike, both unable to ignore past stains. She said she liked being with him, just the two of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Shizuka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime trio goes shopping and stops by Emiri’s office, where they meet Hinano and Kanoko. After awkward introductions, Shizuka admits she does not know what a factory is, so Kanoko explains. Emiri asks what country life is like; Chiharu and Sunao give different answers from Shizuka since they are more familiar with modern living. They mention meeting only recently, surprising Emiri. Shizuka proudly explains they are bound by their duty to protect Japan, and Emiri says, “As long as you have no regrets, it’s okay.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The comment makes Shizuka pause, because she never considered regrets; she had eagerly accepted her wish to break an economic agreement without understanding it, trusting it was for Japan’s good. After thinking it over, she searches for information with help from others, but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hinano explains that because the agreement fell through, local manufacturers like Kanoko’s father stayed in business, so there was little news. Chiharu and Sunao arrange a meeting at the factory and bring Shizuka. Kanoko’s father tells Shizuka his factory would have failed otherwise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Shigure and Hagumu grow close but quickly become jaded. Their families and classmates resent their constant lateness, which comes from Magius work no one can know about.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Hagumu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hagumu reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. After Walpurgisnacht, the organization dissolved, and many former Feathers joined the Kamihama Magia Union. Hagumu is uncertain, as she believes in Magical Girl Supremacy and cannot accept the Union&#039;s ideology of liberation without sacrifice. Shigure contacts her, asking to meet and talk. Shigure wants to convince Touka and Nemu to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Hagumu is conflicted—she cannot trust the Magius after being exploited, but she also cannot decide what to do. She asks for time to think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hagumu Azumi#Side Story|Hagumu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu meets Maria, a former Magius member who joined the Union. Maria notices Hagumu looks unwell and offers to listen. Hagumu explains her dilemma: she cannot agree with the Union&#039;s ideology, but she also cannot follow Shigure&#039;s plan. Maria suggests Hagumu ask other Magical Girls how they decided. Hagumu recalls her wish was made in haste to save a woman under a Witch&#039;s Kiss, and she regrets not choosing a better wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Moka why she joined the Union. Moka says she joined because she was invited and everyone is kind.

Hagumu realizes they are completely different—Moka has people who protect her, while Hagumu feels she has nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Yukika, a former Black Feather, why she declined the Union. Yukika says she did not want to drag others into trouble. Hagumu sees Yukika has strong convictions and follows them, unlike herself. Hagumu feels more discouraged.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches. Hagumu is moved but asks for more time to discuss it with Shigure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hagumu senses a Witch and goes to help. She sees Riko, an elementary schooler, defeating the Witch on her own. Hagumu realizes her ability to fight Witches is not special—any Magical Girl can do it. She feels her &amp;quot;glass slippers&amp;quot; are cracking and shattering. She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s social anxiety worsened. She began experiencing panic attacks at competitions and could no longer compete. Her parents signed her up with the Hikarizuka Youth Association to help her interact with people. There, she met San for the first time. San invited her to dance practice. Miyuri fainted from overexcitement while watching San&#039;s legs. She realized she had a leg fetish and that it triggered her anxiety. She began avoiding San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish.

San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training.

Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Nayuta and Mikage try to help but ruin the dish with too much seasoning. They are distraught, but Lavi salvages it using cabbage and eggs. The meal is delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After making the newspaper, Nayuta and Mikage fall asleep. Lavi reflects on her past. She reveals that she never found joy in living despite her family&#039;s efforts. Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true. She asks for a little more time in her beloved daily life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Asahi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime Tribe holds a celebration to welcome Asahi. During introductions, Chiharu rambles excitedly about her favorite shows, and Asahi finds herself intrigued. When pressed to share more about herself, Asahi talks about hunting and the importance of minimizing suffering. That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun. Everyone apologizes, and they end the day with a shared dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Alexandra&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Re-analyze and structure this. It is a double-story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra dreams of her school days. She sees her past self smiling and realizes she is dreaming of the time she was in love. In the dream, she discusses love with Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu. Himena shares a romantic story about stargazing with Hiko. When Himena asks about their own love lives, Alexandra begins crying unexpectedly. She denies anything is wrong, but Himena apologizes for being insensitive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Alexandra Kurusu#Side Story|Alexandra&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, Alexandra&#039;s teacher appears—but he looks like Shigure. Other people appear as Himena and Hagumu. She recalls that her teacher was her math teacher and club advisor. He was strict and had a reputation for being scary. Alexandra remembers how she would complain about him with her classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After club activities, Alexandra wants to practice singing more. She goes to the rooftop and finds the teacher there. He allows her to practice under his supervision. They begin meeting regularly on the rooftop. She learns he does not smoke and is careful about his throat. He mentions that being an adult is not that great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A male classmate confesses to Alexandra. She almost accepts but pictures the teacher&#039;s face and realizes she loves someone else. She rejects the classmate. Later, it rains, and the teacher lends her his towel. She realizes she has fallen in love with him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra begins trying to appeal to the teacher daily. She asks about his relationship status and learns he is single. She indirectly describes him when talking about her type. She leaves a love letter in his shoe locker. He thinks it is a prank but recognizes her handwriting. She keeps trying to convey her feelings, but he never takes her seriously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra&#039;s behavior becomes obvious in class. She eagerly volunteers to answer questions and is overly happy when called on. Her classmates are amazed she can talk to the scary teacher so cheerfully. She learns everyone fears him. She asks why he became a teacher, and he admits his parents were teachers and he had wanted to be a singer but never pursued it. He wonders if there is any meaning to his life. Alexandra feels sorrow and wants him to be happy. She begins planning to improve his reputation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey appears and offers to grant any wish. Alexandra wants to capture the teacher&#039;s heart through her own efforts. She decides not to make a wish yet. She organizes a surprise birthday party for him with her classmates. He is genuinely happy and thanks her. He realizes she planned it. She tells him all the students respect him. He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra continues her jokes and attempts to get closer to the teacher. She jokes about marriage and asks for a date on the school trip. He unexpectedly agrees to go shopping with her for a few minutes. She hugs him in excitement. A classmate spots them on the rooftop. Rumors spread quickly. The principal calls the teacher in. He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra cannot wake up from the dream. She imagines the teacher scolding her for playing with his feelings. She decides she needs to apologize in real life. She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love. She tells him her feelings were not a deception—they were true love. She thanks him for a wonderful time and says she now only places her faith in Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Urara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara volunteers to do grocery shopping for Lavi. At the supermarket, she gets distracted by flash sales and buys beef, bean sprouts, and curry ingredients. She forgets Lavi&#039;s shopping list. Lavi forgives her but asks her to be more self-controlled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Urara Yume#Side Story|Urara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Urara announces she is returning to Yukuni to quit her talent agency. Lavi insists on accompanying her for safety due to the Magical Girl eradication faction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara and Lavi travel to Yukuni. Urara loses her wallet, but Lavi finds it. At the agency, Urara&#039;s manager asks her to coach a children&#039;s diabolo class as a final job. Urara accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the diabolo class, Urara teaches the class alone. Some children struggle to follow her teaching style. Lavi, Alexandra, and Asahi watch from a distance. During lunch, Urara admits she cannot explain techniques well. Lavi analyzes the wrist angles and timing, and the others offer to help. The class is a success.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Urara feels inadequate and misses her former partner, Kurara. She remembers Kurara was better at teaching. Lavi notices Urara is depressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Several days later, Urara returns to Yukuni to pick up her resignation papers. Lavi accompanies her. Urara admits she misses Kurara. Lavi warns her that reconciliation is unlikely, but Urara insists on trying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the agency, Urara confronts Kurara. Kurara reveals she always resented being compared to Urara&#039;s natural talent and felt like &amp;quot;Not-Urara.&amp;quot; She says breaking up the duo was for the best and asks Urara to stop involving herself. Urara is devastated. She returns to Kamihama and cries to Lavi, who comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Urara receives a message from her manager. A girl named Rei from the diabolo class wants more lessons. Urara agrees to meet her. Rei wants to learn the &amp;quot;Urara Special&amp;quot; to beat a prodigy her age. Urara remembers how she unknowingly hurt Kurara by copying her tricks too easily. She decides to coach Rei properly. Lavi offers to stay and help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara and Rei practice together. Lavi advises on timing. Rei successfully performs the trick. Urara tells her to remember the joy of performing, not just winning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rei competes and wins her first cup by performing the Urara Special, a trick even the prodigy could not do. Rei thanks Urara. Urara realizes that coaching helped her grow and face her regrets about Kurara. Rei asks Urara to be her permanent coach. Urara agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara returns to the Folklore base. She announces she will continue coaching diabolo classes. She wants to pass down her goal of making people smile through diabolo acts to the next generation. Lavi and the others support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nayuta&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta dreams of proving folkloric studies superior to Touka, but Lavi wakes her with obnoxious humming. Lavi scolds her for being a deep sleeper and rushes her to school in Takarazaki City, where Nayuta complains that Lavi acts like a stern stepmother rather than a kind maid her age.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In class, a self‑assessment exercise has Nayuta describe herself as quiet and diligent, but her peers call her stubborn, someone who hates losing and speaks her mind. She reluctantly accepts “stubborn” fits her persistent search for her father. The teacher introduces the Johari Window, explaining that without communication people understand themselves at most fifty percent and others only twenty‑five percent—a lesson that sticks with Nayuta.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Nayuta meets Iroha at the train station. Both are surprised the other remembers them. They discover they are the same grade and both hail from Takarazaki, and Iroha mentions she also searched for a lost loved one. Nayuta requests to see Yachiyo, apologizing for her bluntness. Iroha reassures her, noting they are both stubborn junior‑high girls from Takarazaki who came to Kamihama to find someone important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Yachiyo has no new information about Nayuta’s father. Tsuruno has Nayuta show a photo, but no one recognizes him. Felicia suggests Nayuta simply ask Touka, since she also grew up at Satomi Medical Center. Nayuta refuses, saying she cannot trust Touka, and apologizes for her stubbornness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Nayuta admits to Lavi she slept poorly because she cannot stop thinking about Touka. Mikage arrives, upset after a fight with Sudachi: Mikage complained about school, Sudachi said she envied Mikage for being able to attend, and they argued over whose position was harder.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home. Lavi approves of her standing her ground, and Nayuta realizes she and Lavi are more alike than she thought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, classmates who used to bully her avoid her, but Mikage is determined to find Magical Girl friends. Himika tells her about Emiri’s counseling center, so they go there together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the center, Emiri, Sasara, Asuka, and Kanoko are delighted to meet Mitama’s little sister. Mikage explains she is looking for a friend, but Emiri points out they are already her friends. After some banter about fashion, Mikage tries on Kanoko’s outfits and has a wonderful time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mikage wonders if the older girls truly see her as a friend or just as a kid. Himika suggests she meet girls her own age like Ui, Touka, and Nemu, though Mikage is uncertain about befriending the geniuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When she returns home, Mitama warns her that Ui has been kidnapped by Promised Blood and forbids Mikage from associating with the Kamihama Magia Union. Mikage reluctantly agrees but is frustrated her efforts to make friends have been stopped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama leaves for work and Mikage accuses her of hypocrisy—Mitama can spend time with the KMU while Mikage cannot. She runs out, declaring she will find a new big sister. She finds Emiri’s office closed but runs into Rika and Ren, who quickly realize she is Mitama’s sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Mikage bond over fashion and go to some cheap stores, where Mikage realizes she left her wallet. They play a crane game instead, and Rika wins stuffed animals for Ren and Mikage. Mikage asks Rika to be her big sister; Rika declines but encourages her to talk to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory. Kanoko lets her help make a pendant, but before Mikage can convince her to become her sister, Mitama arrives and drags her home. Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any. Later, she finds Mitama has made all her favorite foods, and they reconcile off‑screen; Mikage gives Mitama the pendant she made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage declares she will not give up on making Kamihama Magia Union friends. She then decides that since Lavi and Nayuta are older, they can be her big sisters instead. They exchange a look and agree to treat her for one day. Mikage expresses her hope that someday she and Sudachi can play with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yozuru plays piano at a pharmacist’s request, impressing everyone, then meets Livia Medeiros and Sudachi Sawa. Sudachi exposes Mifuyu, who decides to introduce herself directly. Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yozuru replies that her mother trained her to face worse and declares she will live to the fullest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited again. She jokes about the visitor&#039;s persistence. Yozuru and Sudachi return from stocking up on essentials. Sudachi trips, and Yozuru hesitates to help. Livia instructs Yozuru to help Sudachi stand and dust her off. Yozuru apologizes and explains she is not equipped with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the trailer, Yozuru offers tea. Sudachi wants teacakes. Livia allows them to have some as a treat. Livia reflects that she needs to help the girls mature. Yozuru has lost compassion, while Sudachi needs to find her words. Livia believes they will complement each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is found sleeping and crying. Yozuru gives her a handkerchief. Livia says crying in sleep happens occasionally and is common among Coordinators. She thanks Sudachi for finding her dropped ring. Sudachi sulks when Livia refuses to give her sweets as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the ring is a treasure and a way of reprimanding herself. It is the reason she lives for &amp;quot;Mister Sun.&amp;quot; She says she may tell the full story another time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia shares her philosophy: no matter how awful life is, do not drift in a bad direction or relieve resentment with a curse. Magical Girls are born from hope and must overcome struggles with hope. She warns against corrupting purity and urges supporting those with pure hearts. She says she has said enough for now and will share the rest when she is ready. She asks the visitor to promise to live strong, face forward, and not end up like her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Touka and Nemu debate whether Lil&#039; Kyubey is pretending to eat or has internal compression organs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lil&#039; Kyubey takes a train and meets Emiri, then goes to a shop where Natsuki cheers with it. It also helps Himika gather grass.

** Lil&#039; Kyubey returns to Mikazuki Villa. Touka and Nemu are exhausted. They conclude Lil&#039; Kyubey may feel things and have sociality, but cannot reach a firm conclusion.

Touka and Nemu agree to consider Lil&#039; Kyubey a being with sociality for now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo spots Lil&#039; Kyubey at night and decides to follow it for a scoop. She suspects Lil&#039; Kyubey is secretly soliciting new Magical Girls.

** Ryo loses sight of Lil&#039; Kyubey. She finds a girl with potential who may have received a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and helps fight the Witch alongside Nanaka. After the battle, Nanaka explains Lil&#039; Kyubey followed her into the labyrinth and returned a flower she dropped. Nanaka asks Ryo to tell Lil&#039; Kyubey to stop visiting unfriendly Magical Girls. Ryo realizes Lil&#039; Kyubey avoids girls with potential and is not soliciting anyone. She writes an article correcting her earlier suspicions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui writes a &amp;quot;Lil&#039; Kyubey Observation Journal.&amp;quot; She and Lil&#039; Kyubey wake Tsuruno and Felicia by shouting.

It visits various schools with different Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui finishes her journal. Touka and Nemu read it and use it as qualitative data. They debate whether Lil&#039; Kyubey is mimicking humans or simply reinforcing Ui&#039;s actions. Iroha suggests Lil&#039; Kyubey is supporting them in their efforts to free all Magical Girls. Lil&#039; Kyubey agrees, and Iroha thanks it for accompanying them. She says they will continue together from now on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices. Kyubey, whom she calls a talking cat, keeps urging her to make a contract, but she does not know what to wish for—though she finds herself wishing God could speak to humans like Kyubey does.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the boy reads the fairy tale Kuroe recommended. He questions a detail in the story, but Kuroe simply accepts it because the writer says so.

* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kuroe dreams of Iroha, though she cannot understand her words. Her Doppel reflects that her contract gave her affirmation of existence, yet she still does not feel like anyone - she simply adapts to whatever situation she is in, resented by no one and dependent on no one, but still wondering who she should be.

Kuroe wakes up wondering why she dreamed of the camping trip, and she calls Iroha, deciding she wants to connect with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroeds&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Doppel Story|Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sasara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara is taken hostage at knifepoint in a convenience store. Despite her desire to be a knight, she is too terrified to act. Though the police arrest the criminal and she is safe, Sasara feels ashamed and hates herself for her cowardice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sasara Minagi#Side Story|Sasara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sasara meets Kyubey and when he makes his offer, Sasara accepts without hesitation. As her father works for an emergency rescue squad, a job she admires, he gave her a favorite picture book about a knight who defeats a dragon to save a village. Sasara carries this book everywhere and has always wanted to be like her father and the knight. She wishes to become a knight who can protect and save people, asking for a stronger heart and stronger convictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Sasara has been hunting witches and saving their victims ever since making her contract. She calls herself the Knight who protects the people of Kamihama, but over time her feelings become tainted. The people she rescues never remember what happened and do not acknowledge her. Sasara realizes she wants someone to appreciate her and questions whether she really wanted to become a knight at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book. She thought she could accept the people she helped not talking to her, but now it feels like she does not even exist. When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nanaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Needs to be re-checked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako to ask for their help fighting a witch they all share a connection to. To explain why she needs them, Nanaka tells them how she became a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka&#039;s father headed a traditional Japanese flower arranging school, but when he fell ill, senior students took over and grew the school&#039;s popularity while abandoning its traditions, shutting out Nanaka&#039;s family entirely. On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform. She decided to lay the Soul Gem with its owner&#039;s body, and when she placed the gem in the girl&#039;s hands, the girl began breathing again. Later, Kyubey explained that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Kyubey asks if Nanaka will tell the others this secret, but she says she is waiting for the right moment. Nanaka then reflects that her true revenge target is actually Kyubey himself. Her power makes it clear he is her enemy, though she does not know all the details, and she is waiting for the right time to turn against him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Nanaka&#039;s team is still unable to find the witch. Akira reports meeting a magical girl mercenary. As the girls plan their next move, Nanaka muses about how she is gathering the determination of magical girls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuku enjoys time with her friends but feels disconnected from them and uncertain about her future.

When he invites her to search with him, she feels hopeful that she will not be alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo invites her to stay as long as she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Akira reflects on her upbringing in her father&#039;s karate dojo, where she learned to always help those in need and earned the neighborhood nickname &amp;quot;Troubleshooter&amp;quot; starting at age six.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira started middle school, a girl asked her to be a bodyguard against a stalker. The girl brought her to a park, confessed her love, and admitted to lying about the stalker. Akira politely rejected her, saying she didn&#039;t know much about that sort of thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Akira learned the girl had vanished and spent days searching for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day Akira found the barrier, she retraced the girl&#039;s steps in the park and stepped into a witch&#039;s labyrinth. She found the missing girl among blank-faced victims marked by a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Kyubey appeared, explained about witches and magical girls, and offered a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Familiars attacked and overwhelmed her despite her karate training. Injured, Akira wished to save all those people, transformed, and destroyed the familiars.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, none of the victims remembered the incident. Kyubey told Akira she needed to defeat the witch itself, which became her destiny as a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a magical girl, Akira patrolled Kamihama investigating witch-related incidents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day, she encountered a familiar without transforming and dropped her Soul Gem. Unable to retrieve it, she fled the barrier and collapsed unconscious outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira woke, Nanaka Tokiwa introduced herself as the magical girl who found her and picked up her Soul Gem. Nanaka advised withdrawing since Akira had collapsed, and Akira reluctantly agreed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Nanaka called asking for a favor. When they met again, Nanaka requested a duel, claiming Akira was weak and should quit hunting witches. Akira refused, citing her family&#039;s dojo, and they dueled. After some fighting, Nanaka ended the duel and apologized. She explained she wanted to test Akira&#039;s resolve and invited her to work together as a team. Akira relented after Nanaka claimed she was troubled and couldn&#039;t fight witches alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present day, Akira returns the cane to the old man and thanks Sasara. She reflects on meeting many magical girls since joining Nanaka and wonders how many exist in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Meanwhile, her father receives invitations to tour as a chef and seems genuinely happy traveling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt; Manaka questions why she even bothered trying.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Manaka finishes selling bentos and keeps one for herself. Sana Futaba rushes in, upset at arriving too late.

Sana accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana promises to arrive earlier tomorrow, but Manaka reveals this may be her last day selling bentos. She admits she thinks she made her restaurant even more obscure, and if she is not helping it, she sees no point in cooking. Sana tearfully confesses that Manaka&#039;s bentos became the only thing she looked forward to during lonely lunch breaks. She insists Manaka should not quit because she is still making people happy. Seeing Sana smile gives Manaka new motivation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After contracts of: Kako, Manaka&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A documentary crew follows Ria Ami, whose natural beauty causes crowds to part, though she admits she has no basis for comparison when asked about her challenges. Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ria asks Manaka to be her bodyguard while buying the magazine featuring her article, wearing sunglasses to avoid being seen. Inside, she discovers her article occupies only one page, while Yachiyo has an eight-page spread.

* In the present, Himika works at Konomi&#039;s flower shop and has become close friends with Kokoro since their first meeting. When she invites Kokoro home for knitting tips, they find Ayame there hoping to find the legendary blue flower for her hospitalized sisters, Konoha and Hazuki. Drawing from her own experience, Himika gently steers Ayame away from the myth and suggests gathering mountain flowers instead, with Kokoro joining as their guide.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Himikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sakuya&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Suzuka Sakuya spaces out after school. A junior from the track team notices she has been acting off lately and expresses concern. Sakuya lies about being in a slump. She reflects on how she cannot run at full capacity anymore because she is a Magical Girl and would set inhuman records. She realizes she is late for her Promised Blood meeting.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sakuyass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sakuya Suzuka#Side Story|Sakuya&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Sakuya, Yuna, and Hikaru discuss Sakuya&#039;s problem. Yuna deduces Sakuya is unsatisfied because she cannot compete meaningfully—using magic makes her times inhuman, so she feels her achievements are not truly hers. Sakuya admits track is everything to her; she used her wish to allow her team to compete after a violent incident got them suspended. Yuna suggests Sakuya might find accomplishment through coaching others, using her experience to help them grow. A Witch appears, and they fight. During the battle, Hikaru is distracted by worrying about Sakuya and cannot control her army properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sakuyass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Sakuya, Hikaru, and Yuna fight a Witch. Hikaru&#039;s training pays off—she stays focused and controls her army effectively. Yuna reveals she asked Sakuya to train Hikaru so Sakuya could experience accomplishment through coaching. Sakuya realizes watching Hikaru&#039;s progress gave her a similar feeling to setting a new personal record. She is grateful.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sakuyass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Five days later, Tsumugi has been training with Ria&#039;s help, visiting different restaurants and improving her reviews. Her blog has gained more followers. Meanwhile, Manaka feels she hasn&#039;t reached her father&#039;s level as a chef but refuses to discuss it, insisting a chef cannot ask a diner for advice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and Ria eat at Walnuts. Manaka is surprised by Tsumugi&#039;s improved reviews and lifts any implied ban. Tsumugi wants to fill Walnuts with people, but Manaka says she prefers just Tsumugi coming to enjoy her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi proposes promotional ideas to help Walnuts, including using Ria&#039;s modeling. Ria agrees, and Manaka will seek her father&#039;s approval.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they organize &amp;quot;The Rice Omelette Festival&amp;quot; at Walnuts. No customers arrive for the first half hour.

** After the event, Tsumugi cries and confesses disappointment that none of her followers came, feeling she is just an average student with no unique qualities. Ria encourages her not to let failure discourage her, insisting she has talent. Tsumugi decides to make a contract with Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Walnuts afterward, Tsumugi honestly criticizes Manaka&#039;s omelette, explaining her wish now forces her to tell the truth about food. In a flashback, she wished to help Manaka by learning what she could do. She realized she needed to give objective criticism to truly help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ren&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren stands on a rooftop, contemplating suicide. Kyubey warns her that if she repeats her previous actions, her Soul Gem will be destroyed. Ren understands. She thinks about how people have always said hurtful things and believes she cannot live in such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nearby, Rika defeats a Witch and sees Ren about to jump. She saves her and asks why she wants to die. Ren cannot answer. She reflects on her childhood: she has always had trouble speaking and was teased and bullied for it. She attempted suicide once before but was scared of dying. Kyubey appeared and granted her wish to live.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explained that the bullying was caused by a Witch&#039;s influence—Witches hurt people, who then hurt others. Ren resolved to destroy Witches to create a better world. However, no matter how many Witches she defeated, people still acted cruelly. Kyubey told her that even destroying all Witches would not remove malice from people&#039;s hearts. This is why Ren wanted to die again, but she cannot explain any of this to Rika.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika takes Ren to meet other Magical Girls. At Emiri&#039;s Trouble Consultation Office, Ren meets Akira but cannot introduce herself and nearly cries. Emiri brings her to Ria, who gives her hand cream, and Konomi, who gives her chamomile tea. Rika then takes Ren to the chemistry club, where Hinano gives her candy instead of medicine. They visit Kanoko at her family&#039;s metal factory, where Kanoko shows a dress she designed with mushroom motifs and gives Ren accessories made of metal sheets. Emiri leaves, and Rika admits she never actually listened to Ren&#039;s problem.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika shares her own story: she wished for someone she loved to love her back, even though that person already liked someone else. She says she stole that love with a selfish wish and asks Ren if she thinks she is a horrible person. Ren manages to say she does not think so. Rika is relieved. She explains that to get others to open up, you must share the secrets that create distance.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren tries to tell her story but cannot get the words out and begins crying. Rika tells her not to force herself. She shows Ren all the gifts she received from the others and says that if all these people were thinking about her, she should continue to live. She says the world is filled with both bad and beautiful things, and the most painful thing is to have nothing. Ren says she will live. Rika leaves, and Ren thanks her. Ren thinks that if Rika can accept her story, she will be able to live forever.&lt;br /&gt;

Despite Hazuki&#039;s warnings, Ayame tries Konoha&#039;s cooking. Later, Hazuki returns to find Ayame sick; Konoha learns Ayame was too polite to refuse the food. Hazuki offers to handle meals from now on, which prompts Konoha to resolve that she will learn to make delicious food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konoha Shizumi#Side Story|Konoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha buys cookware and studies cooking theory, suspecting Hazuki might be a cooking prodigy. She makes a disastrous meal incorporating everything she read, and Hazuki collapses after tasting it. Ayame brings home a flyer for a cooking class at &amp;quot;Youshoku Walnuts,&amp;quot; noting that the food there made Hazuki cry. Ayame encourages Konoha, and Konoha resolves to take the class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Konoha meets the teacher, Manaka Kurumi, at the restaurant. Manaka attempts to teach knife skills and how to crack eggs, but Konoha struggles with both. Manaka promises to help her improve. She has Konoha make practice dishes, but Konoha burns oil, over-dashes rice, and explodes miso soup, so Manaka has to take over each time. When finished, Manaka tastes it, insists it&#039;s good to protect her reputation, eats it all, and passes out. Konoha tries the leftovers and confirms it is truly terrible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha hunts a witch with her team while distracted by thoughts about cooking.

When Ayame asks about being an older sister, Himika invites her to meet her family. Konoha asks to come as Ayame&#039;s guardian upon learning Himika cooks for her family, and Himika accepts. Hazuki says she will prepare dinner at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, at Himika&#039;s house, Konoha and Ayame observe the cramped living space. Himika explains she uses cheap leftover meat blends from a disposal man to feed her family. She serves dinner, and all her siblings along with Ayame eat. When Konoha asks if the food is tasty, the siblings say they never think it&#039;s bad because Himika does her best. Konoha reflects on Azalea&#039;s House and realizes she was too focused on theory rather than on who she was cooking for. She thanks Himika and leaves with Ayame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, Ayame and Hazuki find Konoha cooking again. Konoha promises to give up if she fails this time. Focusing on her feelings rather than theory, she makes a meal from Azalea&#039;s. Hazuki and Ayame try it and say it&#039;s bad, but it&#039;s edible. Konoha is excited that someone could actually eat her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ayame returns home to find Konoha cooking again. Hazuki observes that Konoha has found joy in the act of cooking. Konoha narrates that she learned cooking is about heart, and could now make food people could finish. She thinks cooking is fun, though Ayame and Hazuki sometimes scream loud enough to startle the neighbors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Konoha attempts beef stroganoff, a dish Hazuki admits is difficult. Hazuki and Ayame try it and collapse. Konoha says she will redo it. She narrates that experience matters, and wonders what to try next.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Hazuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame meet with Nanaka, Meiyui, Akira, and Kako at a restaurant to discuss how to handle situations where both teams target the same Witch. Meiyui proposes a first-come, first-served rule, but Hazuki points out it would lead to disputes over who arrived first. Ayame suggests settling conflicts with rock-paper-scissors, and though Meiyui argues there&#039;s no time for games in battle, Hazuki has them try it on the spot. When Ayame and Meiyui play, Meiyui uses a martial arts technique to change Ayame&#039;s hand, causing an argument between the groups. Hazuki calms everyone down and suggests they go home for the day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hazuki Yusa#Side Story|Hazuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls reconvene at the restaurant. Hazuki proposes a new rule: anyone who uses magic against a Witch gains proportional rights to the Grief Seed. Both teams agree, and Hazuki suggests they gather data by hunting together. They split into mixed teams—Ayame and Kako form one; Hazuki, Akira, and Meiyui another and Konoha and Nanaka stand by to help as needed. After the successful joint hunt, Nanaka meets with Hazuki alone at the restaurant. She reveals she believes Hazuki manipulated the entire situation from the first meeting, noting that her team was impressed with Hazuki&#039;s group&#039;s teamwork but that she herself was more struck by Hazuki&#039;s modus operandi. Nanaka asks why Hazuki orchestrated everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki admits she wanted Konoha, who is introverted, to connect with others and that after the Witch fight, Konoha seemed genuinely happy. She explains her goal was simply to build connections between her group and other Kamihama Magical Girls. Nanaka accepts this and says she&#039;s glad to work with her. Later, Hazuki writes in her notebook that Nanaka is shrewd but fascinating, and she resolves to continue reaching out to other Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Ayame encounters Felicia during a Witch fight, and their rivalry quickly escalates when Felicia dismisses Ayame&#039;s challenge to lead the girls to argue and accidentally let the Witch escape. Frustrated by losing to Felicia specifically, Ayame confronts her afterward, and despite Kako&#039;s attempts to mediate, the two insist on settling things through some competition. Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch. Emerging back in the park, Felicia thanks Ayame, and they realize the race was never finished. They resume, but Ayame admits she&#039;s fine with not winning and she has come to accept Felicia as a strong rival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ayamess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ayame Mikuri#Side Story|Ayame&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She became a magical girl thinking her dull life might finally become interesting, but even that eventually grew boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead.

** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help. Masara agrees and tells Kokoro to call her next time.

** Konomi panics, fearing they have made people hate flowers. They notice a little girl crying because her mother refused to buy her a toy ring. Konomi offers a flower, but the girl wants a ring. Kako fashions the flower into a ring, and the girl calls it pretty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi realizes they have been giving flowers without understanding what recipients truly want. She decides to create something more meaningful. Inspired by Kaede&#039;s mention of birthday flowers and Kako&#039;s knowledge of flower language, they plan an arrangement that speaks to people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi and the girls create a birthday cake made of fifty flowers, with chocolate and candy inside. The cake incorporates birth flowers so greetings can be communicated through their language. They prepare a fair at the shop to showcase it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi shows the cake to the florist, who gives a muted reaction and announces her retirement, planning to leave Konomi the shop. Before Konomi can protest, Kaede and Kako notice the florist bears a Witch&#039;s Kiss. The three girls reveal they are Magical Girls, track down the Witch, and destroy it together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Hinano, Emiri, Ria, Manaka, Akira&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Rika is invited to a blind date by Emiri Kisaki, who brings along Hinano Miyako, a girl recently heartbroken. When the boys on the date mock Hinano&#039;s youthful appearance and odd way of speaking, Rika surprises her by defending them. Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her. Emiri and Rika quickly reassure Hinano, with Rika adding that Hinano is actually cool for having been able to confess her feelings—unlike Rika, who never confessed at all and watched her crush end up with someone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri then suggests Rika should make a wish, revealing that she and Hinano are magical girls who each received one wish in exchange for fighting monsters. Rika wonders if this is some kind of game. Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika muses that her wish was granted and she is now dating her crush, yet she feels deeply unhappy. When Kyubey asks what is wrong, she admits that every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens with unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mayu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mayu is a third-year student at Mizuna Academy who works part-time at the Kamihama Contemporary Art Museum. When she accidentally breaks the museum director&#039;s cup, her boss handles the situation calmly and kindly. After work, she meets her friend Sayuki Fumino outside the museum, and when Sayuki cannot stay, Mayu&#039;s boss offers to accompany her to an exhibit instead. They later go to a cafe, where Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi are also present. Ria grows increasingly annoyed overhearing Mayu&#039;s conversation with her boss, particularly when he hints at wanting to take her somewhere else and praises her cooking. At home that evening, Mayu cooks for her mother and asks if her father would have eaten her cooking, wondering what life would be like if he were still alive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayu Kozue#Side Story|Mayu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at school, Mayu talks with Sayuki about the sword exhibit. She then heads to work, and after her shift ends, her boss mentions his wife and child are away and invites her out to eat. Mayu declines. As she leaves, she forgets her phone, and her boss rushes to return it, asking again about dinner with growing intensity. Ria suddenly appears and bumps into him, yelling at them for flirting and demanding they sit for a lecture. Mayu&#039;s boss says she ruined it and leaves. Ria warns Mayu that her sweet, innocent air attracts older men and that if things continue, his family will fall apart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home that night, Mayu reflects on the day she learned of her father&#039;s death and on Ria&#039;s words. Kyubey appears and offers a contract. Thinking she does not want her boss&#039;s family to suffer the same hardship her family did, Mayu makes her wish: to stop his family from breaking apart. That night, she narrates that her boss transferred to a new job, and she is sure her wish was granted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later at school, Mayu finds boys have started hitting on her. Ria constantly steps in to drive them off. Before Ria can finish telling Mayu to shape up, they both sense a Witch. The girls reveal they are Magical Girls, and they track the Witch to the museum&#039;s special exhibit room. Sayuki suddenly appears and reveals she is also a Magical Girl. During the fight, Mayu notices the Witch only targets Ria. She asks Sayuki to lend her strength and launches a surprise attack, destroying the Witch. Afterward, Mayu thinks that to protect people she must think clearly before acting, and Ria admits Mayu was more reliable than usual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As a child, Sayuki attends an idol performance with her parents, but when the crowd becomes dangerously wild, she is almost squeezed to death, leaving her with lasting trauma.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayuki Fumino#Side Story|Sayuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Growing up in a happy family, Sayuki develops a deep interest in katanas that creates a gap between her and her classmates. Though they respect her passion, she feels lonely without someone to share it with. This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert. Sayuki believes speaking out is important no matter the outcome and swears to protect the kind people who have been kind to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka. Moka thanks Alina for saving her and says she has now made new friends, resolving to devote herself to exterminating witches and admitting she is only a little afraid of them now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They grew as close as sisters until Sis became engaged to marry someone far away. When Sis&#039;s father suddenly opposed the match despite approving it before, Riko wished upon Kyubey that everyone would give their blessings to the marriage. Her wish worked, and Sis moved away happily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Riko Chiaki#Side Story|Riko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She snaps, calls them liars who were never there for her like Sis was, and tells them she hates them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko goes Witch hunting to vent her stress but nearly dies against a stronger Witch. In that moment, despair crushes her and she wishes she had never made her wish so Sis would still be there. Tsukasa, a regular at her family&#039;s shop, finds her crying and listens as Riko confides everything about her feelings and what happened with Sis. Speaking from experience, Tsukasa tells her that separation is no excuse for broken contact and recommends she reach out to Sis directly. Riko messages Sis that night before falling asleep exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At the daycare, the children swarm Maria with requests. She notices a boy named Shin‑kun looking down and tries to find out what is wrong, but he does not want to talk. Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work. Maria suggests she spend a day with Shin to reconnect, and Shin’s mother agrees. Maria promises to put together a plan by the weekend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Despite Kanagi&#039;s warnings about discrimination from the West, Yachiyo&#039;s kindness puts her at ease, and Mel accepts her invitation to stay.

* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes. Afterward they visit Mitama, who suggests they train in Endless Mirrors if they plan to remain independent rather than join Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Temari and Mikura commute to school exhausted. Temari stayed up testing a new metal pen, and Mikura correctly guesses she is in modern literature mode.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Temari is distracted thinking about Witch strategies while Mikura worries about Seira, who had fallen asleep in class from exhaustion. Seira joins them, and Temari suggests they create their own space to escape the stress of magical girl life. Seira proposes forming a school club where they can pursue their hobbies freely, and they agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Seira secures an empty classroom as a provisional club room under the name Historical Research Club. On paper they study history, but in reality it becomes their oasis for reading, watching films, and relaxing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the girls are enjoying their club activities, yet Temari still feels unsettled about not knowing her magic. Mikura reflects that they have been following Temari’s suggestions lately—staying independent, creating the club—but says she will mention it if she notices anything. When Mikura asks what Temari is reading, Temari replies she is still on the same author, and Mikura calls her as unpredictable as ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hotori&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Last part is after the tea drinking moon party&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hotori and her twin Rion prepare for a school camping trip. Hotori gets distracted watching her favorite sentai show, Dragoon Red, and Rion teases her for still liking children’s fantasy. Hotori wants to bring her notebook of heroic quotes, but Rion tells her not to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At school, Rion tries to stay with Hotori and gets scolded by the teacher. Hotori is relieved to have time away from her sister. Her classmates notice her notebook and encourage her to become who she wants to be.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At camp, Hotori’s group hikes through the forest. She is frightened by insects, and when Rion appears and drives her friends away, Hotori ends up scolded for letting her sister interfere. Reading quotes from her heroes, she manages to calm herself and finishes the hike feeling she has changed a little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During archery, Hotori struggles to pull the bowstring but remembers Dragoon Red’s words about perseverance and manages to shoot. Rion performs better, but Hotori’s friends cheer her up. Rion later mentions the night’s test of courage, and though Hotori is scared, she refuses to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the test, Hotori freezes after a scare. Rion mocks her and escorts her to the finish line. There Hotori realizes she left her notebook behind; Rion goes back to retrieve it but does not return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotori lies to the teachers and searches the forest. She finds Kyubey, who offers her a contract: any wish in exchange for becoming a magical girl who fights witches. When she finds Rion acting strangely, Kyubey explains Rion has a witch’s kiss. Rion enters a witch’s barrier, and Hotori follows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Terrified but thinking of Dragoon Red’s words, Hotori makes her wish: “I wish to be a hero strong enough to protect Rion.” She defeats the witch alone, saves Rion, and is relieved when her sister wakes up safe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Months later, Hotori now fights witches with a team. During one battle she freezes and is saved by Rion and Yukika Nanase. Yukika asks about Hotori’s notebook, and Hotori explains she wants to be brave like the sentai heroes. Yukika privately knows the truth from another timeline: the twins’ memories were altered by Rion’s wish, and Hotori’s original wish may have been to become strong enough to protect Rion. Hotori, unaware, continues striving to be a hero.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Meguru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Meguru joins the Broadcasting Club, but her senpais later announce it will close due to low membership.

When Kyubey appears, she wishes to become a popular mistress of ceremonies in exchange for becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After her wish, she discovers she can narrate events with unusual power, accidentally motivating classmates. She is drawn into a witch’s labyrinth and rescued by Momoko Togame, who takes her to Mitama Yakumo. Momoko suspects Meguru’s magic strengthened the witch. Mitama asks Meguru to act as MC for an event in the Mirror Witch’s barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the barrier, Meguru narrates battles for Tsuruno Yui, Meiyui Chun, and Akira Shinobu, but her words also empower their mirror copies. After struggling to control her magic, she successfully motivates the originals to win. The group agrees she has a gift for motivating others, though they must flee when more copies appear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She learns she only gets one wish, but she is confident she will meet amazing people on her own.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Eternal Sakura begins as a story Iroha tells to Ui, Touka, and Nemu at the hospital—a tale of a girl waiting by a sakura tree to reunite with her three friends. Nemu loves it so much she writes it down, naming it the Eternal Sakura of Promises. That is Sakura&#039;s beginning, though she is only words in a notebook.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Nemu moves the Eternal Sakura and many other stories into a different book, rewriting them as Rumors and breathing her own lifeforce into them. They become real beings, freed but also bound to their rumors. Time passes, and the Eternal Sakura watches as other Rumors are destroyed. She alone keeps her physical form. When Walpurgisnacht attacks and the crisis ends, Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu finally come to her meadow, reunited at last. The sakura tree bursts into bloom. All the Rumors now live together in Nemu&#039;s book, with the Eternal Sakura as the only one who can venture outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Iroha tells Sakurako she is glad she defended Ui but should not hurt others. Sakurako transforms into her battle form, showing the power she wields to protect the four girls. Iroha asks her to promise not to use it except against Witches or real danger. Sakurako promises.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo agrees it is best for her to keep some distance from Iroha and Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At her new school, Sakurako meets Hinano Miyako, who warns her not to mention being a Rumor in class. During introductions, Sakurako announces she is here to learn about human society, is technically zero years old, and has been assigned an age to match her appearance. The students think she is weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Sakurako agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She arrives home late and tells Iroha and Ui she made a friend. Iroha is worried, knowing Ryo&#039;s history, but Sakurako hands over a letter from Ryo.

* A few days later, the finished movie screens at school; Rui receives widespread praise. But when classmates later comment that such a cool character could only exist in fiction, Rui feels isolated, as if her true self is unacceptable.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ruiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rui Mizuki#Side Story|Rui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Akari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari wakes Hotaru after school. Hotaru notices Akari&#039;s Puchi-Usa keychain, which Haruto drew for her when she was young. Akari decides to tell Hotaru about her wish and how she became a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akari Mai#Side Story|Akari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari explains that she has always loved Haruto, but he treats her only as a little sister. When Haruto entered high school, he stopped walking with her due to club activities. Akari heard a rumor that Haruto was dating his club manager. Distressed, she wished to Kyubey to become 16 years old like Mimiko-chan, the transforming heroine she admired.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her wish only allowed her to transform temporarily. She turned back into an elementary schooler afterward. Akari regretted not wishing for everyone to perceive her as 16 from the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Akari patrolled for Witches and found Haruto under a Witch&#039;s Kiss. She saved him in her 16-year-old form. Haruto did not recognize her and thanked her as a stranger. He gave her his jacket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari returned Haruto&#039;s jacket, claiming a stranger asked her to return it. Haruto admitted he had fallen in love with the girl who saved him—not realizing it was Akari. Akari was conflicted: happy he fell for her, but sad he fell for a version of her that was not truly her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The bunny Nene died. Akari cried. Haruto came to give her a new Puchi-Usa keychain but hid it when he saw her crying. He comforted her and told her it was okay to cry. Akari loved his kindness and subtle thoughtfulness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari ran into Haruto while patrolling. Haruto was looking for the 16-year-old girl. Akari became jealous and badmouthed her 16-year-old self, calling her suspicious and a liar. Haruto got angry at Akari for speaking ill of someone she did not know. Akari ran away, feeling she was not worthy of him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari hid in an alley. Haruto came looking for her. A Witch appeared, and Haruto was under another Witch&#039;s Kiss. Hotaru appeared and caught Haruto with a pillow before he could jump. Hotaru and Akari defeated the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotaru revealed she had been watching over Akari since the bunny hutch. She told Akari that her kindness was one of her good points. Akari realized the 16-year-old version Haruto fell for was still a part of her. Hotaru encouraged her to apologize properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari, still in her 16-year-old form, lied to Haruto that she had taken Akari under her protection. Haruto was relieved and admitted he was too harsh with Akari. He said he did not want her to become someone who speaks ill of others. Akari apologized to Haruto in person. Haruto forgave her and said he was proud of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari resolved to become a wonderful adult on her own, without magic, and capture Haruto&#039;s heart when she was truly 16. She thanked Hotaru for giving her the push to apologize but Hotaru fell asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ryoko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryoko’s story begins at Suitoku Temple, the Tokime Tribe’s base, which was slated for demolition while officials hid the harm it would cause. Though she is from a neighboring town, Ryoko is bound to the tribe by blood, and she makes a wish to disclose the demolition details—saving the temple. Raised by her grandfather in a strict Buddhist temple, she is told her mother was a hero who saved the country yet died and left her behind. Ryoko grows to resent heroism, viewing it as empty fame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Her cynicism is tested when Moka Megumi tries to save a drowning kitten despite being unable to swim. Ryoko rescues her and asks why; Moka says she simply cannot stand someone dying on her watch. Ryoko does not take her seriously at first, still believing people play the hero only to be seen as one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The turning point comes when her grandfather plays a recording of her mother’s final message. Her mother worked in intelligence, gathering intel on domestic terrorists, and when backup failed to arrive, she acted alone to prevent a war. The revelation shatters Ryoko’s old beliefs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She accepts the Tokime Tribe’s invitation—something she had previously refused. Her grandfather already knows she is a magical girl. Her debut in “A New Beginning” happens when she overhears a monk say the tribe’s members are coming to Kamihama; she goes to see for herself and arrives just in time to witness Touka’s Doppel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama’s adjuster shop, Karin Misono finds Kush sleeping inside the tent. Mitama explains that Kush cannot stay awake during the day due to her wish: “I just want the morning to never come.” Kush reveals she made her wish because she longed to live in a fantasy world like the one in her favorite book, &#039;Good‑Bye Fable,&#039; and her magical girl outfit resembles the story’s protagonist. Ui Tamaki and Little Kyubey arrive, and Kush briefly attacks Little Kyubey, mistaking him for the Kyubey she despises. Over tea, Mitama notices Kush’s long canine teeth stained red and later receives a message from her sister Mikage about a rumor of a vampire girl in the Hokuyo Mountains. Karin and Kush agree to investigate together, but Kush runs off to her night class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, the two meet up with Riko Chiaki and Ashley Taylor, who are making a horror video about the same rumor. The group searches the mountains at night. Kush can see in the dark and leads them, but she is still sleepy. They find a discarded camera containing a video of Rui Mizuki dropping it and disappearing. When a mysterious sound frightens the others, they accidentally leave Kush behind. Left alone, Kush eats cherry tomatoes and senses a witch. The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one. They also learn that Rui is Kush’s friend; she had filmed Kush entering the barrier before being caught by it. The group later glimpses a white‑haired silhouette and flees, thinking a real vampire might exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley posts a video warning others to stay away from the mountains. At Mitama’s shop, Ui hears about the incident and learns the vampire was just a misunderstanding. Meanwhile, Chika Aoba, whose animal traps and axe cuts the group had found, decides to move her work farther from the trails so she does not frighten anyone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Homura Akemi in Magia Record#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is flooded with more memories of her other self preparing for Walpurgisnacht with allies. She wonders if there might be a real possibility for salvation in this timeline, where no one has to be sacrificed. However, she believes it has nothing to do with her. She breaks out of the labyrinth and the dream ends. Kyubey asks if she was curious about what happened to her other self. Homura says it does not matter; she believes in Madoka&#039;s words that her efforts will not be in vain. A new universe is about to be born, and Homura must protect it for Madoka&#039;s sake. Kyubey states they will both forget Madoka, but Homura is determined to never forget her.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new universe where Witches do not exist, Kyoko is surprised to find Sayaka has disappeared. Mami explains the Law of Cycles causes Magical Girls to disappear when they lose hope. Homura cries as she remembers Madoka, but neither Mami nor Kyoko know who Madoka is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka spend the day together in Kamihama, enjoying each other’s company until they encounter Ria Ami, a model and magical girl who has already defeated the witch they were tracking. Ria invites them to tea and later takes them to the fashion district, where she notices that Homura’s attention never leaves Madoka. Admitting her jealousy, Ria says she wishes someone would look at her the same way, and Homura replies that she will protect Madoka. After Ria departs, Homura thinks that even if Madoka does not realize how cool she is, she will still save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Homura steals weapons from a group called the Soukaihou using her time stop, but she is caught afterward by Meiyui Chun, a magical girl affiliated with the group. Instead of punishing her, Meiyui thanks her for taking weapons that belonged to troublemakers and invites Homura to share mapo tofu. Over the meal, Meiyui learns Homura fights to protect someone precious to her and says she understands, offering her support and suggesting the spicy dish whenever the burden becomes too painful to bear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Homura is practicing her shooting alone when Natsuki Utsuho, a magical girl who cheers for others, offers to encourage her. Natsuki deduces Homura’s time stop ability and gives advice that significantly improves her aim. When Natsuki suggests Homura ask Mami to coach her, Homura calls, and Mami arrives within an hour. Mami uses her ribbons to move within Homura’s time stop during a sparring match, praising her rapid progress afterward. Homura agrees to return to Mitakihara with Mami, reflecting that she will keep moving forward to become a magical girl capable of protecting Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Sayaka arrives in Kamihama City to go shopping with Kyosuke Kamijou, though she insists it is not a date. When she hears a scream, she runs toward it and discovers Hinano Miyako at an empty elementary school. Hinano explains she was bumped on the head while setting up the chemistry lab, and Sayaka decides to help investigate. They find the culprit was a baseball that flew through the window from the baseball club practicing outside. Hinano returns the ball to a child and gives Sayaka a perfume she made, wishing her good luck on her date despite Sayaka&#039;s protests.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later in the shopping district, Emiri Kisaki approaches Sayaka, drawn by the perfume. After realizing Sayaka is not Hinano, Emiri offers to coordinate her wardrobe, claiming to be the &amp;quot;Cutest in the World.&amp;quot; Sayaka learns Emiri is also a magical girl but remains unsatisfied with the outfit suggestions, explaining the person she likes does not care about appearances. Emiri takes her to the top of a tower, where they view the city at night. Sayaka thanks her before heading to the train station, reflecting that her love is supported by the magical girls of Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the outing with Kyosuke arrives. After buying a CD, Kyosuke messages that his train is delayed. Sayaka fights a Witch she senses and meets Kokoro Awane, defeating it together. With time to spare, Kokoro invites her for tea. Sayaka shares that she became a magical girl to heal someone she loves, and Kokoro reveals she wished to bring her family together. Though problems remain, Kokoro believes she can unite them through her own power, and Sayaka finds strength in her words. When Kyosuke is about to arrive, Kokoro encourages her, and Sayaka runs to the station, feeling it will be a good day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mami&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day in Kamihama, Mami saves Kanoko Yayoi from familiars, and Kanoko explains her dream is to become a fashion designer. Mami advises her on Witch hunting and encourages her to name her own attacks. Kanoko decides on &amp;quot;Yayoi Collection,&amp;quot; thanks Mami, and they part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, Mami is approached at a cafe by Rika Ayano, who admires her fighting style and asks to be friends. They spend the day shopping and at an arcade, and Mami admits she has not enjoyed herself like this in a while. Rika reminds Mami of Kyoko Sakura, and Mami reflects on her friendships in Mitakihara. They exchange contact information and agree to hang out again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, after Mami fights off familiars, Nanaka Tokiwa confronts her, having heard rumors about the strongest Magical Girl from Mitakihara. Nanaka wants to team up or fight her, and Akira Shinobu arrives, also eager to challenge Mami based on exaggerated rumors. Mami agrees to fight them on one condition: they have tea with her first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kyoko dismisses her but secretly follows, rescuing Ren when the familiar transforms into a witch. She gives Ren the Grief Seed, admitting that helping her didn&#039;t feel as wrong as she expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kyokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura in Magia Record#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, Kyoko meets Manaka Kurumi, who offers to cook for her after noticing her unhealthy eating habits. Manaka brings Kyoko to her father&#039;s restaurant and makes omelet rice. When Manaka asks about her relationship with food, Kyoko is reminded of how her wish destroyed her family, but she simply says that eating is living and that she decided to survive no matter what. Kyoko admits she enjoys the cooking and promises to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kyokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura in Magia Record#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When they encounter a witch, Kyoko insists on fighting alone, but Konomi follows and gets injured. Kyoko reluctantly carries her home, where Konomi gives her a nadeshiko flower to match her name. Kyoko later realizes she stuck it in her hair and reflects that she ended up meeting a cute witch despite herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kyokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura in Magia Record#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ultimate&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart. She also finds Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, who were never supposed to become magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Panicking because she cannot prevent magical girls from becoming witches in this universe, Madoka investigates. She discovers the source blocking her intervention originated when the Holy Quintet first visited Kamihama, and she observes how Touka and Nemu—fated to die in every other universe—are alive and plotting with the Magius to lure Walpurgis Night to hatch Eve. Madoka reflects that their plan, if successful, would achieve what she herself accomplished. Unsure whether to intervene, she decides to investigate further and chooses Iroha as her next focal point, since this is the only universe where Iroha contracted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka observes Iroha’s past and finds the singular difference: on a normal day, Iroha took her usual shortcut but accidentally kicked a small pebble, nearly making her late. This tiny butterfly effect led to Iroha contracting and Ui, Nemu, and Touka surviving, derailing the universe’s fate. Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka decides not to interfere, fearing a clash that could destroy the universe. However, she laments that she may have no choice but to trample Iroha’s wish if this universe, now a singularity, threatens the stability of all other universes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Oriko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* After contracting with Kyubey, Oriko foresees Madoka becoming Kriemhild Gretchen and ending the world. To prevent this, she begins manipulating events and people around her. She uses Yuma Chitose as a distraction to keep Kyubey away from Madoka, then later convinces Yuma to contract by claiming Kyoko is in danger. Oriko also recruits Kirika Kure as her pawn. When Kirika kills another magical girl, Oriko decides to use the murders to further distract Kyubey from Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Oriko Mikuni in Magia Record#Side Story|Oriko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Oriko has another vision revealing that Madoka is not in Mitakihara but somewhere else entirely. She witnesses a spatial distortion connecting Mitakihara to Kamihama City and begins to suspect Kamihama might hold the key to changing the future. Oriko sends Kirika to Kamihama under the pretense of buying tea, instructing her to gather information from Mami and other magical girls there. She then takes Yuma to Kamihama herself, leaving her inside a witch barrier knowing Kyoko will come to rescue her. While exploring Kamihama for answers, Oriko nearly dies inside a powerful witch barrier and realizes she needs Kirika&#039;s help to continue. Kirika eventually returns home safely, reporting that Mami and Kyoko are also investigating Kamihama and that the city has an unusually high number of witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Iroha and Ui feel anxious about the upcoming school semester but realize they have forgotten something important. Yachiyo suggests it might be cleaning. Iroha and Ui remember they need to clean their house in Takarazaki. The group agrees to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha &amp;amp; Ui (Shrine Maiden)#Side Story|Iroha &amp;amp; Ui&#039;s Shrine Maiden Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the house, they clean together. Felicia finds a photo album. Everyone looks through pictures of Iroha and Ui as children. They see photos from Ui&#039;s birthday party at the hospital, a Christmas when they had a flour snowball fight, and other memories. The girls tease Iroha for being a dork, and Iroha gets embarrassed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After cleaning, they take a break. Ui wants to have a party at the house, which has always been a dream of hers since she was hospitalized for so long. Iroha agrees. They buy cakes and cookies from a nearby pastry shop. Back at the house, they hold a small party. Yachiyo is worried about the cost, but Iroha says she and Ui paid with their allowance. They toast to everyone&#039;s help with cleaning. Felicia accidentally spills juice, and they laugh. As evening falls, they return to Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Ui receive a New Year&#039;s card from their parents overseas. They want to send something back but cannot decide how. Tsuruno and Felicia are watching a comedy show about an elderly couple sending video messages to their children. This gives Iroha and Ui the idea to record a video message for their parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They film their first video, but Yachiyo says it is too ordinary. Sana suggests making it more unique. Ui wants to introduce everyone at Mikazuki Villa to their parents. Iroha agrees. They try filming again with a script, but the takes go poorly—Yachiyo overthinks her cooking scene, Felicia struggles to tutor Ui, and Tsuruno is late. Ui suggests they abandon the script and just be themselves. They record a video of their daily life together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the video, Iroha and Ui perform a shrine maiden&#039;s dance they learned from helping at a shrine over New Year&#039;s. They tell their parents not to worry and wish them luck with work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* After Mitakihara City’s school closing ceremony, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura walk out together. Sayaka is glad the term is over, Madoka is excited, and Homura admits she will feel lonely without seeing them every day. Sayaka ruffles her hair and says they can still meet over break, whether hunting witches or hanging out. Madoka suggests visiting Mizuna Shrine in Kamihama for New Year’s to draw “Ultimate Fortunes.” Sayaka has other plans but encourages them to go together. After she leaves, Madoka asks Homura if she knows how to put on formal wear. Homura does not, so Madoka invites her to a kimono‑dressing class she found, saying she wanted the two of them to dress up with Sayaka but lacked the courage to go alone. Homura agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class, the instructor dresses them first; Madoka thinks Homura looks beautiful, and Homura calls Madoka cute. When the actual lesson begins, Madoka struggles badly and trips, while Homura learns quickly enough that the instructor says she will have no trouble. Madoka takes a break outside, feeling useless. Sayaka happens by and asks why she wanted to dress up in the first place - to have fun. Sayaka tells her not to overthink; even if she makes mistakes, she will still have the memories. Encouraged, Madoka returns and finally manages to dress herself after another trip.&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year’s Day, both have their formal wear put on at a store. They joke that the class was interesting but not very useful for the real occasion. They take lots of pictures to show Sayaka, then wish each other a happy new year and go to Mizuna Shrine to draw fortunes. Madoka hopes everyone has a lucky year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka find themselves trapped in a strange dream—a life-sized board game set across Kamihama City. They must reach the goal by following the game&#039;s rules. There are no Familiars or attempts to harm them, so Homura suspects it is accidental mischief rather than a trap. They roll dice to move between squares and complete missions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Kimono)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;First Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They arrive at a shopping center. The mission is to deliver lost items from the New Year&#039;s sale to the Information Desk. They meet Aimi, who found a plain notebook with no name. Aimi worries it is someone&#039;s secret fantasy diary and does not want to read it. They take it to the Information Desk and complete the mission. Aimi mentions she is shopping for materials to knit a scarf or gloves for a boy named Hayato.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** They roll again and move to a new square. The mission is to reunite two sisters who failed to meet. They find Tsukasa waiting for her twin Tsukuyo. Tsukuyo forgot her phone and cannot remember the meeting spot. Madoka and Homura offer to find Tsukuyo. They find her, but Tsukasa has wandered off while waiting. The sisters fail to meet, and Homura and Madoka lose three turns. They eventually reach the Mizuna Shrine goal, but the game says they have not met the goal conditions and sends them back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Second Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They are back at the beginning, wearing their kimonos. They see their past selves from the first loop. The same mission appears—reunite the twins. They meet Tsukasa again, who remembers them from before and is confused by their kimono change. Madoka tells Tsukasa where Tsukuyo is, but Tsukasa runs off before Madoka can explain she should wait. They try to find Tsukasa but fail. The mission fails again, and they are sent back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Third Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes: buy a lucky bag costing one million Magica. They search for a store and take a break at a cafe. They see Ria being interviewed and overhear a boy named Hayato saying he needs a warmer scarf. They find Kokoro and Masara, who lead them to a stationery lucky bag. Kokoro mentions Tsukasa is still looking for Tsukuyo. Madoka wants to help Tsukasa, and Homura agrees. They find Tsukuyo, who has been wandering and dropped something important. They learn Tsukuyo dropped her exchange diary with Tsukasa—the same notebook Aimi found. The mission completes, but they are sent back to the start again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes again: help a child who lost something. They find Tsukuyo waiting. She dropped the exchange diary. Homura and Madoka take her to the Information Desk to reclaim it. Madoka remembers Tsukasa was last seen near a specific area. They wait there and finally reunite the twins. They also tell Aimi that Hayato wants a warm scarf. Everyone ends up happy. Homura and Madoka reach the goal without regrets. Homura reflects that she does not want the dream to last longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka learns the meaning of &amp;quot;When winter comes, spring isn&#039;t far behind&amp;quot; at the end of December. Just before New Year&#039;s Eve, Madoka asks if anyone has plans for the holiday. Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko and Nagisa meet the teacher and children at the park. The kids immediately recognize Kyoko, so the pair double down on the movie lie. The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the performance, Kyoko and Sayaka use quick‑change costumes while Nagisa sneaks discarded clothes off set. The children are awed by the glowing weapons and effects, explained with lighting tricks and soap bubbles. After the class leaves, the group reviews the footage and decides to keep a copy. Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko returns the props to Sayuki, then visits an aquarium to pass time. As she leaves, she spots the same kindergarteners, detects a witch, and rushes to fight it. She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She wonders if this universe&#039;s Nagisa would have had the same experience. She and Kyoko hurry to Mami&#039;s chocolate party. Kyoko reveals she bought a chocolate cake from Sugar Plum for everyone. Nagisa shares her pink chocolate coins. Mami is happy they are getting along. The next day, the chocolate hunt continues.

** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Yachiyo Nanami (Tanabata)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Tanabata Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the Tanabata Festival, Yachiyo and Tsuruno are performing lead roles in a special drama for the Mizuna Tanabata Festival. They are scheduled to give an introductory speech and do promo work in costume. Iroha and the others ask to join them. Yachiyo agrees. They will have free time before the screening to look around the stalls together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno brings a video camera to film a home video for Team Mikazuki. She interviews everyone throughout the day. Yachiyo gives everyone an allowance for the festival. Felicia and Sana check out the food stalls. Iroha and Ui look at the decorations. Yachiyo samples bamboo dumplings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui finds a lost wishing paper and turns it in. She wants to write her own wish but hesitates, not wanting to bring up wishes around other Magical Girls. Yachiyo notices and encourages her. Ui gets wishing paper for everyone.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group makes bamboo boats and floats them down the canal. Sana cuts her finger on a bamboo leaf. Yachiyo notices and helps her. Sana is touched by Yachiyo&#039;s kindness. Felicia says she feels warm on the inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the camera that Yachiyo gives her a feeling of security. Ui says she wants to be someone like Yachiyo someday. Tsuruno records her own message, calling Yachiyo dense but incredibly kind, and says she loves her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The screening begins. Afterward, Yachiyo and Tsuruno go to greet the production staff. The others return to Mikazuki Villa to prepare a surprise.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yachiyo and Tsuruno return home to find the lights off. Everyone surprises them with a handmade Milky Way made of paper stars. They call it the Mikazuki Way. They also show the edited home video featuring everyone&#039;s messages of gratitude. Yachiyo is moved to tears. She thanks them all, saying she is so happy they are always with her. She says this is the best present ever. Tsuruno turns the stars back on and they enjoy their very own Milky Way. Yachiyo says she never expected her tears would be those of joy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede, Rena, and Momoko have picked out new swimsuits. Momoko could not buy one because she spent her allowance on a concert tour. They decide to go to the beach together. Kaede mentions that Mikazuki Villa is renting a lodge for a study camp. Rena asks Yachiyo if they can join. Yachiyo agrees. They arrive at the lodge. Yachiyo announces that everyone must complete ten pages of homework per subject per day before they can play.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rena &amp;amp; Kaede (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena negotiates with Yachiyo: if they can finish all three days&#039; worth of homework in one day, they can play at the beach tomorrow. Everyone agrees. They study hard together. Rena suggests a reward system to stay motivated. They shout encouragement like at an idol concert. Yachiyo and Momoko help with difficult problems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By evening, everyone has met their quota. Rena and Kaede rush to the beach. But Rena has eaten too much chocolate and feels bloated. She is embarrassed and refuses to go swimming. She goes to bed early.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rena, Kaede, and Momoko finally play at the beach. Mitama, Kanagi, and Mifuyu visit. Mitama has brought homemade rice balls as a reward. To decide who gets them, they hold a fishing contest. Rena and Kaede catch a pufferfish but come in second place. Kanagi wins first place and gets stuck with Mitama&#039;s cooking. Mifuyu is affected first. Rena and Kaede eat the remaining Mitama musubi and feel sick. They rest for the rest of the afternoon. Yachiyo goes shopping alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Rena and Kaede notice Yachiyo acting strange. They follow her and find her with fireworks. Yachiyo admits she bought them for everyone but felt too shy to ask. Rena and Kaede insist on setting them off together. They gather everyone. The group enjoys fireworks on the beach. Rena and Kaede stay up late playing with the leftovers. Momoko reflects on how much they have changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They wake up past noon. There is only an hour before the bus leaves. They quickly change into swimsuits and race to the beach. Rena loses and buys everyone juice. They enjoy a brief swim before heading home. Kaede says she is glad she came to the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama asks Momoko to be her partner for the Beachside Perfect Pair Contest. The prizes include a scallop BBQ, Candy World tickets for Mikage, and a giant stuffed bunny Rena and Kaede would love. Momoko agrees, and Mitama immediately drags her out shopping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They browse swimsuits, but Mitama insists on choosing thoughtfully rather than buying on a whim. They separate briefly, and Mitama runs into Mikage, deflecting questions about what she’s doing. Momoko later admits she also had to make excuses after running into Rena and Kaede. Instead of buying swimsuits, Mitama brings Momoko back for an adjustment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the adjustment, they emerge in new swimsuits—Momoko’s tailored perfectly to her tastes, leaving her flustered but secretly pleased. Mitama teases her and admits she’s nervous but excited.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On contest day, Mitama and Momoko play on the beach. They learn the contest requires performing a shared beach memory with chemistry. They plan to tell the story of Mitama’s deserted island ordeal while Momoko adds her side of worrying. While playing, they fight a Witch together—the first time Mitama has teamed up with someone—then run straight into Rena, Kaede, and Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They win by performing the events of the day instead of their planned story. Rena claims the stuffed bunny, and Mikage gets the Candy World tickets, immediately inviting Mitama. Apologies are exchanged, and the others ask for no more secrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, while Mitama and Momoko clean up, Rena and Kaede take Mikage to get drinks. A girl from Mitama’s past confronts her: the one Mitama accidentally shoved down the stairs years ago. A crowd gathers, muttering rumors, but Momoko defends Mitama and the crowd disperses. The girl realizes it was an accident and offers to help clear Mitama’s name, but Mitama declines, saying she no longer needs it because she has someone who believes in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka arrives at a resort with her friends, carrying her mother’s challenge to do something she can only do now. After rescuing an old woman’s hat from the sea, she learns the hat was a gift from the woman’s daughter, Himari.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group spends the day swimming, building a sandcastle, and splitting into smaller activities. While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The girls complete the rally together, with the final photo taken at a sunflower field. That evening, a storm cancels the flower tour, but the photographer invites them to meet the next morning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the photographer leads them to a hidden pond where barringtonia blossoms float. She reveals this was the special place she and Himari had planned to visit. Madoka recognizes Himari’s name and, with her friends’ help, finds the old woman from the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The old woman and the photographer meet; the photographer confesses her guilt over their childhood fight, but the woman explains Himari never mentioned any quarrel—her illness suddenly worsened that day. The two women reconcile, and both thank Madoka for bringing them together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond. Madoka reflects that the thing she could only do here was to reunite the two women and give them peace. Her friends call her for one last swim, and she runs off to join them, already thinking of returning to the island someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story and Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
It has two versions I made, assimilate them if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomuradsSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At registration, Mitama announces all participants must wear swimwear, offering to transform their outfits for free. Homura is surprisingly excited, and Sayaka gets roped into wearing a ridiculous mushroom‑mermaid costume designed by Kanoko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many familiar magical girls attend as participants or catering staff.

** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka in her costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The non‑waterproof suit causes Sayaka to be electrocuted by its built‑in fan, but her Doppel activates and saves her. The Doppel drags Yachiyo into the water, and Yachiyo begins water‑skiing using her fishing rod while being pulled around.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Later that day, Homura confronts her Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying summer and relying on Madoka’s kindness. The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurads&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura visit a seaside villa on the outskirts of Kamihama. They meet Felicia and her friends briefly. After parting ways, they decide to visit an aquarium. They participate in an accessory-making workshop using star sand. Inside the aquarium, they meet Ashley, an exchange student from the United States, and Riko. Ashley recognizes them as Magical Girls from Mitakihara because she encountered their copies in Endless Mirrors. They chat and learn Ashley is making videos about kawaii things in Japan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Waverider)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After parting ways with Ashley and Riko, Sayaka wants to visit a CD store. She hopes to find rare CDs for Kyosuke. At the store, she reaches for the same CD as a woman. They discover they both use notepads to track CDs. The woman is Takamine&#039;s wife—Takamine was a violinist who passed away. She collects his recordings to show her daughter. They exchange contact information. Sayaka mentions the upcoming flea market.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Sayaka and Kyoko transform into swimsuits and ride a surfboard to retrieve it, using Nagisa&#039;s floaty as a distraction. The hat is recovered. Takamine&#039;s wife realizes she lost her notepad. Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while waiting, Nagisa and Riko play with water guns. Sayaka&#039;s group relaxes on the beach. Madoka and Homura find Sayaka&#039;s copy in Mirrors. The copy lures them into a trap, but they manage to get the CD list from her and escape. They send it to Sayaka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring. They plan for future fights: Sayaka will handle Familiars, Madoka and Homura will immobilize the Witch, and Mami will finish it off. Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the team encounters a paramedic and a girl under a Witch&#039;s influence. They enter the Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. The paramedic wakes up and thanks them and the team slips away quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of school after summer vacation, Mami calls Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura to the roof. Kyoko and Nagisa fought a powerful Witch and retreated. They warn the others and the team meets to plan. Kyoko and Nagisa will immobilize the Witch while Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura handle the Familiars. Mami will finish it off with her new firework attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The ext morning, the Witch appears and the team executes their plan. Mami uses a powerful firework attack, which she names &amp;quot;Fiore Finale,&amp;quot; to defeat the Witch. They rescue the captured people. A paramedic from earlier recognizes them and offers to take care of the victims. The team rushes to school but is late.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A taxi driver from the previous encounter sees them and gives them a ride. He thanks them for protecting the town. They arrive at school just in time. Mami is glad her hard work paid off and feels happy to be thanked. She looks forward to continuing to protect the town with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko invites Homura, Mami, Sayaka, and Madoka to the beach using tickets Mitama gave her after another accidental transformation into her magical swimsuit. The group swims, then Kyoko dominates the buffet. They discover a cliff diving spot, where Sayaka, Mami, and Kyoko take turns jumping while Madoka and Homura watch. They agree to return the day after next, since Madoka is busy the following day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kyoko asks Mitama to let her keep the swimsuit form for the summer, then heads to the beach alone. There she finds Ui Tamaki practicing swimming by herself, desperate to learn by the next day so she can join her family cliff diving. Kyoko watches over her, and later Sayaka arrives to help. Ui improves, but a rip current nearly sweeps her away; Kyoko rescues her. Moved by Ui’s determination, Kyoko keeps training her until sunset, and Ui finally masters swimming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully. Later, Kyoko visits Mitama to revert her outfit, explaining she wants to learn swimming properly rather than relying on magic. She trades a Grief Seed for money to buy ramune as payment for a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Eternal Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;

===Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Momoko Togame (Sanctified)#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi meet again. Mitama shares her realization: her grief has ended. She now wants to make amends and carve a new future for Kamihama. They discuss ideas for the student conference. Kanagi suggests a sports festival. Mitama suggests a festival with food stalls. They joke about romance and love interests. Mitama feels lighter and ready to move forward. She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Touka and Nemu separately sneak to Ui’s room to leave apology notes. They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They first visit Mitama’s shop, where they meet Maria and Konomi. Mikage hands out sweets, crediting Lavi’s teaching, and Mitama permits them to visit the Mikazuki girls after receiving a cake. At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the real world, Tsuruno gives gelato to Ui and Felicia. Ui is absorbed in playing a game called &amp;quot;Little Vacation&amp;quot; on Tsuruno&#039;s phone. The game follows Tsuruno and Felicia as Reindeer Santas traveling to reach the End of the World and the Wishing Star.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia (Special Delivery)#Side Story|Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno uses the Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a hint: &amp;quot;The key is something you don&#039;t know the importance of until it&#039;s gone. This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The girls encourage Tsuruno and Felicia to leave since they were not originally trapped. Tsuruno and Felicia walk out easily. They promise to return once they find a way to free everyone. They leave, having failed to deliver smiles for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Town of Miraculous ☆ Prestidigitations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the next town. They meet Mitama, a magician performing tricks, and twins Rion and Hotori. Mitama attempts to teleport Hotori but accidentally duplicates her. There are now two Hotoris. Tsuruno and Felicia try to help. The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win. The duplicates are left behind. The single Tsuruno who lost is left alone without Reindeer-san #2 or the Okamochi Box. She decides to continue traveling anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; The three Tsurunos reunite and discuss the hints from the Okamochi Box. They realize &amp;quot;three heads are better than one&amp;quot; refers to them working together to solve the Maze Town puzzle. They also realize the key in Maze Town was a &amp;quot;smile&amp;quot;—something Ren had lost along the way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game. Game Tsuruno is surprised, saying the actual people probably do not play the game anymore. They celebrate their success and set their sights on the next town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents. Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia return home and ask to hear the full story, so Yachiyo retrieves the scarf from the time capsule where she had hidden it years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Check on the days again to make sure how many days pass. It&#039;s possible it&#039;s all just one day&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami finds herself in a strange white fog, speaking with two other versions of herself. Holy Mami claims she has learned the truth about magical girls from Alina Gray and Touka Satomi and has found a way to save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami has tea with Touka and Alina at a house rented for her by Touka. Mami explains she has not returned to Mitakihara because her priority is releasing magical girls. Touka and Alina offer to lecture her on what she needs to study. Alina grows disturbingly excited discussing van Gogh&#039;s Sunflowers, and Touka lectures at length on mathematics until Alina interrupts. Mami reassures them she will ask for help when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina receives a call from the Amane sisters requesting help with a Witch. Touka asks Mami to assist, explaining she has a lecture to give at noon to recruit skilled magical girls. Mami agrees, reflecting that releasing magical girls requires Grief Seeds, protecting Rumors, and raising Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane waiting for her. They explain the Witch has moved and the Black Feathers are monitoring it. A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren plan for their friends’ Christmas party a week away and promise to spend Christmas Eve together. While looking at options in a magazine, they cannot decide on a place. Ren buys the magazine to think it over, privately hoping to choose somewhere that will make Rika happy, though she doubts whether she truly belongs beside her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ren visits Emiri’s consultation room but finds only Akira and Ria Ami. She explains her dilemma, and Ria takes her around town to evaluate possible locations. They rule out a restaurant, an amusement park, and a romantic cafe, eventually settling on the Minagi Aquarium. Ria is surprised to learn Ren is planning an outing with Rika, not a boyfriend, but Ren leaves feeling confident in her choice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Christmas Eve, Rika attends a party with her school friends. When she mentions she will spend Christmas Eve at the aquarium with a friend, her friends press to join, but Rika refuses. She advises them not to look for boyfriends just to avoid being alone. Later, while walking with her friends, Rika spots Ren chasing after Aimi Eri. She follows and finds Ren comforting Aimi over a misunderstanding involving a boy; the situation resolves without trouble.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Ren waits for Rika, who messages that she overslept with a fever. Ren worries Rika became sick chasing after her the day before. Before she can reply, Aimi finds her, and they go shopping together. Aimi encourages Ren to visit Rika instead of staying apart. Ren goes to Rika’s house, knocks on her window, and insists they spend Christmas together there so Rika can rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They exchange gifts: Ren gives Rika scented candles, having noticed Rika’s interest from a sticky note, and Rika gives Ren a glass candlestick. Rika hopes they can visit the aquarium another time, and Ren leaves happy to have shared Christmas with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, assimilate them if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumor Tsuruno begins designing the park, adding a merry-go-round, roller coaster, spa, shops, and a cafe. The mascots warn that once the park is complete, she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world. Rumor Tsuruno claims no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she imagines comfort foods with hot pot as the main star, she is reminded of Mikazuki Villa. She brushes it off and completes the park. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Lavi reflects on the hope she once held—a daydream of a peaceful life where magical girls are understood. In that dream, she helped her mother, tended fields with her grandfather, watched Urara&#039;s street performances, and attended exhibitions with Shirogane. She encountered other magical girls: Asahi, Haitani, Kuroda, Urara, and Alexandra. They fought witches together and enjoyed everyday moments.

Due to a scheduling mistake, everyone arrives at the same inn on the same day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Everyone shares the meal and enjoys the evening together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune. The Rumor says that if you receive the book and find a drawing of yourself, the sketched event will happen and if you try to stop it, a creature named Ketch drags you into the book. Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Two Hands in Harmony===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Two Hands in Harmony|Two Hands in Harmony]]&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. It may already be done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane complain about being overworked as guardians of a Rumor and fear the anger of Touka, Alina, and Nemu. They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One summer morning, Mitama is at her shop and she has set up a small café corner called Hot☆Corner. The cat, Doyle, is especially attached to her lately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery|The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day|Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Rumored Temp Counselor===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;

* Riko and Ashley help Mitama film a video about her Coordinator services, whre she explains that she adjusts Soul Gems to draw out hidden potential, that she sees memories during adjustments but keeps them confidential, and that she also sells items for Magical Girls. As payment for the video, Riko gives Mitama an origami dog (Mameji) and Ashley gives her blue candy from her home, both of which Mitama puts in a box.&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, Mitama receives many gifts from Magical Girls, including Kokoro, Reira, Mito, Felicia, Ayame, Kako, Yachiyo, Karin, Himika, Rika and Emiri, the last of whom says that when people share their favorite things, it means they want to share what they love with Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama hums happily, which Momoko and Kanagi notice and feel a bad omen. Mitama announces that she wants to share what she loves with everyone and that she plans a party with food that she will cook. She asks Momoko and Kanagi to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;

===Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin|Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One winter’s day before Christmas, Rika and Ren go shopping together. The town has no Christmas decorations and people seem depressed. They hear a distressed voice and find Mitama, wearing a Santa&#039;s beard and hat, and she introduces herself as a Christmas Spirit. Mitama says her job is to make everyone happy, but the task is too big. She gives Rika and Ren some of her magic, explaining that the magic requires them to be perfectly attuned to each other, and then she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, a swallow Familiar appears, claiming to be Mitama’s pupil and Rika names him Chirpie. Chirpie explains that Mitama saved him when he fell from his nest and gave him magic. He can sense cowardly hearts lacking courage and Rika and Ren must drive out ten cowardly hearts to make the town happy. Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chirpie leads them to Felicia and Sana, who had accidentally smashed a cake and are now arguing about who should apologize to Yachiyo. Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away|Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines|Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 13th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mitama is away from her shop, but Tsuruno is there, using the kitchen to make chocolate bonbons with a friend. She plans to surprise everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 14th:&#039;&#039;&#039; On Valentine&#039;s Day, Tsuruno gives beautifully wrapped chocolates to Iroha, Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana and Ui at Mikazuki Villa. Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Rise of the Waning Moon|Rise of the Waning Moon]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day during lunch break, Kanagi goes to Himika’s classroom, telling her she just wanted to see her face, which Himika finds strange.&lt;br /&gt;
** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Finding Our Formula|Finding Our Formula]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Hinano and Emiri attend a chemistry event. Hinano is excited to see a chemist who reminds her of the woman she idolized as a child—a tall, long-legged lady who taught fun chemistry experiments. Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic|Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls finish dinner. Tsuruno and Felicia complain about going to the same public pool every summer. Yachiyo receives a phone call from a distant relative who runs a hotel. The relative needs help cleaning the hotel pool because the usual staff are sick. Yachiyo hesitates due to her modeling schedule. The girls offer to help. Yachiyo calls back and confirms they will come.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group arrives at the hotel and Yachiyo&#039;s relative, an older woman, greets them warmly. She says she used to hang out with Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river. Tsuruno and Felicia compete to see who can clean faster, inventing names for their techniques. Yachiyo scolds them for being inefficient. They eventually work together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha slips and falls but is not hurt. Felicia sprays Yachiyo with the hose and Yachiyo chases her. After a few hours, they finish cleaning. The relative rewards them with fluffy shaved ice.&lt;br /&gt;
** The pool is now clean and filled with water. The girls swim and play. Tsuruno and Felicia bring water guns and spray Yachiyo. Yachiyo chases them and gets out of the pool to walk upstream, eventually catching them. They all have fun.&lt;br /&gt;
** As they leave, the relative thanks them but reveals the pool may not open after all due to unforeseen issues. Everyone is shocked.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic|Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic]]&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls are about to leave when the relative reveals the pool may not open because support staff from the southern islands are delayed by a typhoon. Tsuruno volunteers the group to help until the staff arrives. Yachiyo worries they might cause trouble, but Iroha, Ui, and Sana want to try. They agree to help. Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the next day, the group arrives at the pool for opening day. Yachiyo handles reception. The ticket scanner malfunctions and a line forms. Mitama appears—she had plans with Iroha that were canceled. She offers to help and fixes the scanner by hitting it. The staff member returns and takes over.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama notices Yachiyo has something on her mind and suggests she talk to someone she trusts. Iroha later asks Yachiyo to help with a crowded lunch area. Ui is taking orders with Sana&#039;s invisible help making drinks.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral. Yachiyo admits she was worried about everyone but sees they are doing fine. Iroha tells Yachiyo it is okay to worry because she cares, and they can solve problems together. Iroha notices Yachiyo has been down and offers to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
** A foam machine malfunctions, spewing foam everywhere. A guest slips and falls. The group splits up to clean the foam and help guests. Mitama fixes the machine with a whack. The support staff arrives. The girls finally have time to enjoy the pool.&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models. She does not know what to post and is shy about taking selfies. Iroha suggests posting photos of herself and takes pictures of Yachiyo on a float with the sunset. Yachiyo is embarrassed but agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Tsuruno want a turn on the float. Everyone climbs on, and Mitama takes a group photo just as they all fall into the water. Iroha loves the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the pool photos are popular online. Yachiyo&#039;s manager says going to the pool was a good move. Yachiyo thanks Iroha and says she might take her up on being her photographer again. She sends the group photo to everyone. Iroha says the photo may not be &amp;quot;social media-worthy&amp;quot; but it captures who they are. They agree to go back to the pool again—summer is just getting started.&lt;br /&gt;

* Tsukuyo Amane reflects on her life. She and her sister must have realized they were doing something wrong, but to save each other, it was the only hope they had. She will seek a different path for them to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo dreams of living with her twin sister Tsukasa. She daydreams about leaving home and living with her beloved sister. In class, she studies a story about two people from different backgrounds who run away together. She wishes she could be like the strong female protagonist. After school, she meets Tsukasa at the shrine. They both studied the same story and discuss planning for when they live together. Tsukuyo researches the costs of a two-person household and is shocked by how expensive it is.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo falls asleep while daydreaming about living with Tsukasa. Her grandmother finds her fantasy budget notebook and accuses her of planning to run away with a boy. Her training hours are increased, and her smartphone is confiscated. Tsukuyo is unable to contact Tsukasa. She runs away and ends up at the shrine, but Tsukasa is at school.&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback (Before Magical Girl). Tsukuyo is overworked with club activities and training. She is exhausted and collapses. She wakes up in the hospital with her sister beside her. Tsukuyo remembers how she first met Tsukasa. She was playing her flute at the shrine when she saw a girl who looked just like her. They discovered they were twins, separated at birth. They became close and talked openly with each other for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;

** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;

** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka.

She successfully clears most of the machine. The staff restocks the machine, placing the pouch inside surrounded by four giant Mocha Bunnies.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika aims to move two bunnies out of the way to reach the pouch. She successfully clears the pandas and one bunny. She realizes there are two Baby Bunny pouches, not one. She cannot tell which is hers. She has only three tries left. She misses on two tries. On her final try, she aims for both pouches at once and succeeds. The crowd applauds.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Himika&#039;s family goes on the tropical vacation. She explains that when she asked Kyubey to cure her dad, what she really wanted was for her family to be back together. She later learns from a staff member that if she had explained the situation at first, they would have just given her the pouch back. All&#039;s well that ends well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ren Isuzu&#039;s Heartphial Story: Color to a Colorless World===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren Isuzu reflects on her life. She tried to end it twice, but now she is living her life. On the day she was saved, she found a shining light here in this world, and it made her think it is not worth giving up on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before becoming meguca). Ren writes in her journal and draws illustrations. She tells a story about a bear cub who lives in a gray world after dying. The bear cub is happy because no one will be mean to her anymore. Ren realizes she is the bear cub. She has been bullied her whole life. She tried to kill herself but did not want to die. Kyubey appeared and granted her wish to live. She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey told her that Witches can cause bullying. Ren decided to fight Witches to build a kinder world. But she realized that some people are just bad, and defeating Witches does not change that. She attempted suicide again. Rika found her and stopped her. Rika became her light. Rika introduced her to new friends and gave her presents. Rika said that as long as you have one shining thing in the world, you can keep going.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (present) Ren and Rika go shopping. Ren finds an earring someone dropped and returns it. The owner is grateful. Ren feels happy and buys a colored pencil. She thinks about adding color to her bear story. She decides to use the Cherry Pink pencil because Rika loves pink. She writes about a Spirit of Light that appears before the bear cub and shows her that the world is not actually gray—it is full of colors.&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri shows Ren a kaleidoscope. Hinano invites her to make one. Akira helps her carry a package. Konomi gives her flowers. Kanoko shows her a mushroom-themed clothing design. Ren writes about the bear cub meeting a Spirit of Light with many friends—a butterfly, a shrub, a lion, a tulip, and a mushroom. The Gray World gradually takes on color. The bear cub does not want it to end.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren invites Rika to a picture book exhibition. Rika declines because she has plans. Ren is rejected and embarrassed. She invites Rika to a teddy bear exhibition. Rika declines again, saying she has lessons. Ren is sad. She sees Rika with Emiri and Kanoko, and Rika says she has no lessons. Ren feels betrayed. The bear cub realizes the Spirit of Light is disappearing from her world. The world goes back to gray.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika messages Ren, apologizing and saying she was planning a surprise birthday party. Ren does not reply. She hides in a dark room at school. Rika finds her and calls her instead of opening the door. Rika explains she wanted to surprise Ren. She gives Ren a set of 12 colored pencils with a carved lily of the valley on the case. Ren cries and thanks her. The bear cub looks up and sees the Spirit of Light smiling at her. Her world is once again filled with light.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren buys another colored pencil. She notices the name is &amp;quot;Blue Sky&amp;quot; instead of &amp;quot;Sky Blue.&amp;quot; She hears a voice talking about the Rumor of Parallel Memories. She feels dizzy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren dreams she is dead. She cannot see or touch her parents. They mourn her suicide. She never became a Magical Girl and never met Rika. She watches her friends go to the teddy bear exhibition without her. She is invisible. She feels awful and wants to go back to the land of the living. She remembers the colored pencil with the different name—that must be the proof of another world. She holds it and wishes to live. She wakes up. It was all a dream. Rika messages her to join everyone for snacks. Ren goes to meet them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren finishes her bear story. The gatekeeper asks the bear cub if she has any regrets. The bear cub says yes. She wishes to leave behind her journal, filled with entries about the Spirit of Light and all the sparkles she showed her. The gatekeeper opens the gates. The bear cub does not say goodbye because she knows she will see the Spirit of Light again someday in the World of Light. Ren realizes the bear cub is reborn, just like she was when she met Rika and her friends. She can live in a world full of color.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Konoha Shizumi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Shuffled Truffles Trouble===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoha Shizumi reflects on her life. Azalea House was a place that reminded her of the joy of life and brought color back into her gray world. She refused to lose it, even if she had to risk her life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Childhood) Konoha&#039;s father was a businessman whose business went bankrupt after she was born. He died from stress, and her mother passed away soon after. Konoha was sent to an orphanage called Azalea House. Her heart was frozen, but the director&#039;s kindness slowly brought color back to her world. She met Hazuki and Ayame there. They became sisters bound by a bond stronger than blood. The director treated them like family.&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before becoming Magical Girls) Azalea House was to be torn down due to unknown powerful forces. The stress of it claimed the director&#039;s life. Kyubey appeared and offered contracts. Konoha wanted to become a Magical Girl alone to protect her sisters, but they insisted on joining her. They made their wishes: Konoha wished for the Azalea House to last forever. Hazuki wished to eliminate all causes that threatened it. Ayame wished for everyone at the orphanage to forget they were ever there. They left Azalea House and have lived together ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Konoha visits Azalea House with Hazuki and Ayame. She reflects on their journey. They part ways, and Konoha goes to the department store sale to buy truffles. She bumps into Kanoko and swaps bags by accident. She ends up with chocolate truffles instead of mushroom ones. Mitama messages Kanoko, who replies with emojis indicating she is near the Kamihama University Affiliated School. Konoha and Mitama go to find her.&lt;br /&gt;
** They find Kanoko chasing a bus. She left her bag on the bus. They catch up to the bus, but the bag is already gone. Mitama contacts Asuka, who picked up the bag for safekeeping. They go to the dojo where Asuka teaches. Asuka reveals she bumped into Momoko at a convenience store and may have switched bags again. Mitama tries to contact Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, but none of them answer. They fear the team may have encountered a strong Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha and Asuka search for Momoko&#039;s team. They enter a Labyrinth and find Nanaka&#039;s team struggling against a Witch. They help defeat it. Nanaka&#039;s team has not seen Momoko. Everyone fears the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to Mitama&#039;s shop and Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive unharmed. They had turned off their phones to watch a movie. Momoko reveals she left the bag at Blossom. Konoha goes to Blossom and retrieves her truffles. She also receives free flowers because today is a special anniversary.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha explains to Mitama that today is the anniversary of the day the three sisters left Azalea House and started living together. She wants to make it a special day for Ayame and Hazuki.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha returns home. She prepares a truffle dinner with Hazuki and Ayame. They cook together, sharing happiness as a family. Konoha asks them to always stick together. They promise to always be together, hands held tight, just the three of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hazuki Yusa&#039;s Heartphial Story: The Distance Between Us===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki Yusa reflects on her life. Azalea House was the place that taught her to smile again, the place that rescued her from the torment she covered up with a false grin. She was not going to lose it, no matter what it took.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A teacher asks Hazuki to deliver worksheets to Nanaka. Hazuki is reluctant because Konoha distrusts Nanaka after an incident where Nanaka&#039;s team tricked them into fighting a powerful Witch. Hazuki delivers the worksheets. Nanaka suggests they should share information without secrets. Hazuki agrees to try building trust, but she remains wary.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki arrives at the school camp. She is assigned to orienteering setup with Nanaka. They are paired together by random draw. They work through checkpoints. The map notes are outdated, and they get lost. It starts raining heavily.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the storm, the rope bridge collapses due to the rain. Hazuki and Nanaka cannot cross the river. They find an old shack for shelter. They huddle together for warmth. Hazuki shares her past: her parents died in an accident when she was young. She was shuffled between relatives until she ended up at Azalea House. She learned to hide her fear behind a smile. The director taught her to smile when her heart truly felt it. She met Konoha and Ayame there. They became family. They made wishes to protect Azalea House and left to live together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka listens quietly. She says she finally understands Hazuki&#039;s true self. Nanaka grows pale and cold. Hazuki worries she might collapse. Hazuki insists they huddle closer. Nanaka admits she is cold. They wait together.&lt;br /&gt;
** The rain stops. Akira and others find them at the shack. They are taken back to camp. The nurse checks them. Hazuki and Nanaka are cleared to stay. Nanaka is grateful for Hazuki&#039;s help. Hazuki teases Nanaka about being excited for pillow fights. Nanaka jokes back. They agree to enjoy the rest of camp together. Hazuki realizes she has seen a different side of Nanaka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ayame Mikuri&#039;s Heartphial Story: Runaway Adventure===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame Mikuri reflects on her life. Azalea House was a place that showed her real love. When she knew nothing about family, that place taught her warmth. She was not going to turn her back on it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame writes a letter to the Director, the late head of Azalea House. She explains that she, Konoha, and Hazuki are Magical Girls now. Konoha warns Ayame to stay away from Nanaka&#039;s team after a recent incident. Ayame agrees but secretly plans to meet up with Kako anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayame and Kako meet in secret. They are friends but cannot openly hang out because their teams do not get along. Ayame complains about the situation. Kako shows her a book about ocean adventures. Ayame becomes curious about whether the ocean boils when the sun sets. They decide to go to the beach together to find out.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame and Kako take a train and a bus toward the beach. Ayame is excited. Konoha calls and texts repeatedly, but Ayame ignores her. They get off the bus when it breaks down and take a detour. They discover a field of sunflowers. They share cup noodles together. Ayame turns off her phone. Kako also ignores Nanaka&#039;s messages to focus on their adventure. They finally reach the beach and watch the sunset together. Ayame still cannot tell if the ocean boils, but she is happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback - Azalea House) Ayame dreams of the Director. She remembers the day Azalea House was going to be torn down. The Director had already passed away. Konoha, Hazuki, and Ayame met Kyubey and decided to become Magical Girls. Ayame wished for Azalea House to stay open forever. Konoha wished to eliminate all threats to it. They decided on a third wish: to have everyone at Azalea House forget they were ever there. They left the orphanage and started living together. Ayame remembers Konoha&#039;s promise that they would always be together. She reflects on her conflict with Konoha over her friendship with Kako. She wishes the Director could tell her what to do.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame wakes up at Kako&#039;s relatives&#039; house. Konoha has arrived. She found Ayame by asking Nanaka to track Kako&#039;s location. Ayame refuses to go home, saying Konoha has been stifling her. She promises to tell Konoha where she is next time. Konoha apologizes. She did not realize how her words were making Ayame feel. She promises to talk things through with Hazuki and Ayame. Kako is relieved. Ayame treasures the memory of her adventure. She promises never to forget it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Masara Kagami&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Flame Kindled in the Vastness===&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara Kagami reflects on her life. After becoming a Magical Girl, not much felt dramatically different. But encounters and experiences since have changed her. She thinks her dull and pointless life has just gotten a little more colorful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara finds the world boring. She is good at swimming but lacks passion. Kyubey appears and offers her any wish. She wishes for a load of money and becomes a Magical Girl. She fights Witches, and the excitement fades quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara meets Kokoro Awane in a Labyrinth. Kokoro is uncomfortable with Masara&#039;s reckless fighting and tells her to protect herself more. Masara says she does not care if she dies. Kokoro says her family would care. Masara questions why Kokoro blames herself for her family&#039;s problems. Kokoro asks if they can stick together. Masara agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a Witch hunt, they&#039;re attacked by a Witch and Masara takes a hit to protect Kokoro. She gets a scar. She starts avoiding Kokoro because she does not understand her feelings. Mitama explains that Masara fears seeing Kokoro get hurt, so she avoids her to prevent that pain. Masara realizes she fears losing Kokoro, so they reconcile.&lt;br /&gt;
* The swim club announces the relay team. Masara is chosen but declines, saying she is not good at team sports. Koshino, who has always been second to Masara, is chosen as her replacement. Koshino vows to beat Masara&#039;s record.&lt;br /&gt;
* While Kokoro and Masara go on patrol, they see Koshino training alone after school hours. Koshino tells Masara she beat her personal record. Masara is puzzled by Koshino&#039;s passion.&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Masara passes Koshino training again. They start talking about her times regularly. Kokoro notes that Koshino will never catch up to Masara&#039;s times. Masara wonders what drives Koshino.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days before the competition, Koshino beats Masara&#039;s record once. The swim club captain praises her. Masara feels something but cannot identify it. She is not annoyed. She does not know what she feels.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day before the competition, Koshino has an accident and cannot compete. Masara agrees to take her place. She is surprised by her own motivation. Kokoro notices the change.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the competition, Masara swims well. Her team finishes second, but she was in the lead when passing the baton. Koshino comes to watch and thanks Masara for doing the race for her. Kokoro says Masara has changed. Masara decides she wants to keep swimming a while longer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika Ayano&#039;s Heartphial Story: Haunting Love, Haunting Mistake===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika Ayano reflects on her life. She does not want to feel like she became a Magical Girl for nothing. She got to see what dating is like and made loads of friends. But sins do not wash away so easily. That is the price you pay for a miracle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback, but the entirety seems like mostly a flashback) Kyubey offers Rika any wish in exchange for becoming a Magical Girl. Hinano warns her not to do it, but Rika ignores the advice. She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Riko Chiaki&#039;s Heartphial Story: Worked Out with a Woof===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki reflects on her life. Even though her mom and dad were hardly home because of work, she never felt lonely as long as Miss K was around. She cared about her so much that she just wanted to help her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback) Riko helps out at her parents&#039; bento store. She is close with Miss K, the daughter of the hardware store owner next door. Miss K has always been like a big sister to her. Miss K cries to Riko that her father opposes her marriage because he does not want her to move far away. Riko wishes to Kyubey for Miss K&#039;s marriage to be accepted. She becomes a Magical Girl. Miss K gets married and moves away. Riko misses her but does not regret her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Riko goes filming with Ashley. She tells Ashley about Miss K. She explains that Miss K&#039;s father never fully accepted the marriage, and they have not made up. Riko receives a message from Miss K saying she was in the hospital because she was pregnant. She invites Riko to visit her new house. Riko goes and meets the baby. Miss K asks Riko to be friends with her child. Riko becomes like a big sister to the baby. She feels happy that her wish came true but is sad Miss K and her father never reconciled.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko walks Mameji and sees Miss K&#039;s father standing outside the hardware store, looking sad. She wonders what is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley advises Riko to ask Miss K directly if she wants to make up with her father. Riko texts Miss K and asks to meet. Miss K replies that she will come to Riko&#039;s town instead. Riko is excited.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Miss K visits Riko. They talk about her father. Miss K says she wants to make up with him but does not know how. Riko suggests inviting him to meet the baby, giving him a present, or going on a family trip. Miss K doubts any of it will work. They walk to Riko&#039;s store together. They encounter Miss K&#039;s father outside. Riko admits she asked Miss K to come so they could patch things up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Miss K&#039;s father reveals he brought a herbarium to Riko&#039;s store. It was originally meant as a gift for his grandchild, but he could not bring himself to deliver it. Riko realizes Mameji had been guiding her this whole time. Earlier, Mameji had barked at the cake that turned out to be from Miss K&#039;s father. Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky. She realizes she is dying, having protected Yachiyo. She remembers how everyone was fighting for dear life. She wished she were stronger to help them. She is sorry for not being stronger. She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ashley Taylor&#039;s Heartphial Story: Can&#039;t Be Myself Without What I Love===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley Taylor reflects on her life. Studying in Japan is awesome fun. She wants to find more kawaii for her vlog viewers back home and asks her father to watch over her while she pursues her passions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley vlogs with Riko&#039;s help. She films herself shopping for Magical Kirin merch and gurokawa items. After editing and uploading the video, she replies to comments from her followers. She thinks about her father and hopes he is watching.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley remembers the day she wanted to study abroad in Japan. Her father refused without giving a clear reason, which was unusual. Kyubey appeared and offered to grant any wish. Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko notices Ashley seems down. She worries Ashley is overworking herself by vlogging daily and replying to comments late at night. Ashley says it does not feel like work because she loves it. She thanks Riko for being a kind friend. They go out to film another vlog.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley continues vlogging daily. She worries about skipping a day because her followers might unfollow her. She wakes up to find Kumanosuke missing. She panics, feeling like her world is ending. Riko arrives with a bento and finds Ashley crying. Ashley explains she lost Kumanosuke. Riko comforts her and says it is okay to skip a vlog. Ashley admits she has been using followers&#039; comments to fill the hole left by her father&#039;s death. Riko says she understands loss—she misses her sister who moved far away. They decide to search for Kumanosuke.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko suggests Ashley ask her followers for help finding Kumanosuke. During a live stream, a commenter suggests rewatching her previous vlog. Ashley realizes she left Kumanosuke on a chair when she got distracted by a crane machine. They find Kumanosuke on a shelf at the store, dressed in Waloli Gurokawa clothes. Ashley gets him back. She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo finds an old photo album while cleaning. She shows it to Iroha, Tsuruno, Sana, Felicia, and Ui. The photos are from seven years ago, when Mikazuki Villa was a boarding house. Iroha notices a girl standing next to Yachiyo and her grandmother—it is Mifuyu with long hair. Yachiyo explains she knew Mifuyu back then and they fought Witches together. Tsuruno is shocked and Yachiyo says they did not leave a good first impression on each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seven Years Ago&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo fights her first Witch. She is scared but determined. Inside the barrier, she finds another Magical Girl crying. The girl is too frightened to fight. Yachiyo tries to cooperate, but the girl runs away. Yachiyo defeats the Witch alone. Afterward, she confronts the crying girl and tells her that if she cannot fight, she should quit. The girl begs Yachiyo not to leave her alone. Yachiyo is harsh but later realizes she is also scared. Both girls cry alone, afraid of being Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo is the leader of her model unit. The other members are starting to trust her. One member, Yellow, still does not approve of Yachiyo as leader. Yachiyo continues working hard. After her lesson, she defeats a Familiar. She encounters Mifuyu again. Mifuyu says she felt the Familiar&#039;s presence but was too scared to enter the barrier. Yachiyo is harsh again, but Mifuyu says she wants to talk properly. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives and invites Mifuyu to a candy store. Mifuyu has never been to one before. She is amazed by the syrup. The grandmother invites her to visit Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s unit has a successful photoshoot. She feels happy. Later, she senses a powerful Witch and enters the barrier. Two other Magical Girls are already fighting it. Yachiyo asks to join them, but they attack her. They say the Witch is their prey and threaten her. Mifuyu appears and says they should cooperate. The other girls ignore her and lure the Witch toward Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Mifuyu protects Yachiyo and gets injured. They escape together and rest in a park. Yachiyo shares her grief seed with Mifuyu. They introduce themselves. Yachiyo learns Mifuyu comes from a strict family with nine lessons. Mifuyu became a Magical Girl to dream freely. They bond over their shared struggles. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to visit again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu visits Mikazuki Villa. She brings sweets. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother shows the album and the magazine featuring Yachiyo&#039;s unit. The older boarders ask Mifuyu for a cute nickname for Yachiyo. Mifuyu suggests &amp;quot;Yacchan.&amp;quot; Yachiyo likes it. That night, a Witch appears near the station. They fight together and save a boarder from Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo suggests they team up because they are both weak and will become stronger together. Mifuyu agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Yachiyo and Mifuyu continue patrolling. Mifuyu&#039;s parents increase her lessons because they suspect she is sneaking out to play. Yachiyo feels guilty. They decide to reduce patrols for the next week.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s manager tells her the unit will be disbanded at the end of the month. Yachiyo is devastated. Her wish to keep the unit alive was meaningless. She meets Mifuyu at the candy store. Mifuyu has been scolded and had her phone taken away. She says she cannot endure her life anymore. Yachiyo blames herself for dragging Mifuyu around. A Witch appears. They fight it, but two other Magical Girls show up and attack them. The Witch kills one of them. Yachiyo and Mifuyu fight the Witch together and defeat it. The surviving Magical Girl takes the grief seed and leaves. Yachiyo and Mifuyu are broken. They ask Kyubey to let them quit, but he refuses.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo finds a grief seed left behind by the surviving Magical Girl. She realizes she saved the girl&#039;s life. Mifuyu says that even though their wishes were meaningless, they are still alive and can protect what is important. Yachiyo recalls her grandmother&#039;s words about leaving feelings behind through letters. She decides she and Mifuyu should exchange letters to leave their feelings behind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day at Mikazuki Villa&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu continue looking through the photo album. Mifuyu says the letters were their hope and their weakness. She suggests they stop exchanging letters because they are now seniors who must be strong. Yachiyo refuses. She says the letters keep her tied to reality and give her hope. Mifuyu agrees to continue. They find an old letter Yachiyo wrote. Yachiyo says she will write this year&#039;s letter. Mifuyu promises to write one too. They vow to exchange letters forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls in Kush, who transforms into a vampire and she wins the contest. Natsuki takes second place and Karin takes third place. A commemorative photo is taken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin completes her manga, &amp;quot;The Pumpkin King and the Ghost Servant.&amp;quot; She shows it to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede who praise it, giving it 100 points or more. Kaede appreciates the happy ending. Karin is moved by Kaede&#039;s approval. Manaka arrives with pumpkin pie for a taste test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the Sakae Halloween Festa, Karin arrives at the festival in her Pumpkin King costume. Alina is also present, already dressed as the ghost servant from Karin&#039;s manga. Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head of the executive committee thanks Karin for recommending Alina as the face of the event. Karin reflects on her hope that Alina will one day atone for her sins and reach a happy ending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
Big Sis = Miss K (check with Exedra)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor Onee-san. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Onee-san with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Onee-san&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Onee-san to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Always Waving my Hand at You===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Sakuya wakes from another nightmare about the Futatsugi war, where she killed her best friend. She resolves to continue her undercover mission at Iroha&#039;s school and avoid friendships at all costs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Always Waving my Hand at You|Always Waving my Hand at You / I’ll Keep Waving at You]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakuya maintains her isolation at school. After fighting a Witch, she is approached by Ryoko from the Tokime Clan, who persistently tries to befriend her despite Sakuya&#039;s refusal. Ryoko notices Sakuya&#039;s exhaustion and decides something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The following day, Ryoko investigates and discovers Sakuya hid her own shoes and started the gossip to isolate herself. Sakuya confesses she killed her best friend in the war and must remain alone to avoid hurting anyone else. Ryoko declares she will save Sakuya by becoming her best friend, and they fight until exhausted. That night, Sakuya dreams of her deceased friend, who thanks her and tells her to move forward. She wakes to find Ryoko collapsed from hunger, and they talk for hours like ordinary friends. Though they agree they cannot meet again until the battles are over, they promise to become true friends then.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them. The girl agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, finishing the final preparations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day of the school festival proceeds without major incident. Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, sampling food and enjoying the event. They take a photo together at the repaired arch—Tsumugi, Manaka, and the transfer student in her uniform. The transfer student reflects later that she will cherish the photo forever, grateful for the kindness she did not feel she deserved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Manor. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;

** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts. When Yachiyo asks Iroha&#039;s opinion, Iroha expresses her love for shortcake and suggests they bake one immediately, but Yachiyo insists she wait for the right moment, which will come sooner than she thinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This seems to have been an event without story. Needs to be re-checked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Girls in the Hood===&lt;br /&gt;
* An earthquake strikes the city, and on a rooftop, Jun Kazari drops both her yo-yo and her soul gem while practicing tricks. She chases after the soul gem, while the yo-yo falls into the hood of Mitsune Miwa, a hikikomori watching a performance below. Mitsune decides to return it and runs up the stairs, where she collides with Jun. Jun explains she needs her soul gem, and Mitsune returns the yo-yo. A Witch&#039;s barrier appears around them, and Jun transforms to fight while telling Mitsune to close her eyes. Mitsune peeks, collapses after seeing the Witch die, and Jun carries her outside, claiming it was all a dream. Jun insists on treating Mitsune since she saved her yo-yo, and takes her to a candy store called Tomorrow Shop. Jun introduces her to the children there, and Mitsune is amazed by how loved Jun is. Mitsune must leave by 6 PM, and Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Girls in the Hood|Girls in the Hood]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next evening, Jun finds that the children and Mitsune went to explore Shinsei Ward without her. She finds them at an abandoned construction site where Mitsune encountered a Witch.

* Yachiyo bumps into Tsuruno on a day when school is out. Yachiyo has a job performing in a recorded drama with Sayuki that will be screened on Tanabata. Tsuruno recalls Yachiyo&#039;s poor performance in Karin&#039;s Halloween play and decides to join her to help. Yachiyo welcomes her.&lt;br /&gt;
** On set, Ria and Mayu are assisting with makeup and costumes. Yachiyo recognizes Ria, calls her by name, and praises her work, causing Ria to internally fangirl. Yachiyo grows anxious seeing so many Magical Girls gathered, recalling how a previous production with magical girls turned into a disaster. Tsuruno reassures her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wins over the production team with her exuberance. The play&#039;s co-star drops out, and the director asks Tsuruno to take the role. She eagerly accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a fairy tale about an ancient Mizuna legend. Two girls, Tsuyu and Chizuru, befriend each other despite their families&#039; rivalry and join forces to punish a selfish lord. Yachiyo plays Tsuyu, the ice queen with a heart of gold. Tsuruno plays Chizuru, the cheerful and impetuous girl. Sayuki plays the Magpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** During the script reading, everyone realizes Yachiyo&#039;s acting skills are still terrible. Yachiyo confides that she has turned down many acting jobs but accepted this one because the director begged her, even if she flops. She vows to see it through to expand her repertoire. Tsuruno promises to stay by her side.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria is in shock seeing her idol perform poorly. The filmmakers work around it by taking away Yachiyo&#039;s lines. Ria confronts Yachiyo and Tsuruno after the reading, declaring she will give Yachiyo an acting bootcamp. She does not want Yachiyo&#039;s performance to drag down her makeup work or her reputation as Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at home, Yachiyo reviews the script. Tsuruno explains the Mizuna fairy tale to the rest of Mikazuki. Felicia becomes interested when she learns there are fight scenes. Tsuruno explains that the day Tsuyu and Chizuru teamed up was Tanabata, and people in Kamihama entrust their wishes to them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next week or so, Yachiyo is drilled on acting with a professional coach and Ria&#039;s guidance. She eventually executes her lines perfectly and Ria is relieved.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;

She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Promised Blood&#039;s base, Yuna notices her teammates have been acting strangely, as Sakuya reads romance columns, Juri studies constantly, and Urara stares at Hikaru without speaking. After the meeting, Yuna confides in Hikaru that she feels guilty for not noticing everyone&#039;s exhaustion and decides to solve each person&#039;s problems personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend. Though relieved it&#039;s not her own love life, Yuna insists on helping anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s place, the group brainstorms confession advice. The conversation shifts when Ao receives a text from her parents—she&#039;s been lying to them about her late nights as a magical girl, claiming she&#039;s in an e-sports tournament. To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the online tournament, chaos ensues as Juri attacks teammates, Hikaru sets the kitchen on fire, and Yuna fails at selling merchandise. Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the student council meeting, Yuna honestly requests more time to handle personal matters, promising to dedicate herself fully afterward. The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Onee-san, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Felicia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward. Kyubey finds a fuming Felicia, who decides to hire herself out as a mercenary to other magical girls for money or Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Felicia Mitsuki#Side Story|Felicia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia encounters Asuka and Sasara and defeats a witch for them, but they let her keep the Grief Seed and leave without paying, leaving her frustrated. Kako appears, concerned, but Felicia rejects her harshly and immediately regrets it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia helps defeat the witch and collapses from exhaustion, silently vowing to destroy every witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Touka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art. The Amanes are relieved, and Tsukuyo suggests they play their flutes at the shrine on the way home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo thinks the flute&#039;s song has always warmed her heart, while Tsukasa reflects it is a bridge connecting her to her sister. Both affirm that their only allies are each other, and they will always be together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends. Before Hibari&#039;s family moved away, she performed a charm ritual on Aru and promised they would meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message that Hibari is coming to visit Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives and they plan to visit an arcade. Along the way they encounter Himena&#039;s group and later help a lost Shizuka. After some confusion about directions, they reach the arcade where Hibari wins a crane game prize and helps Juri win one too. Hibari suddenly becomes pale and goes to get change, but she does not return. Kagome calls her and Hibari thanks her for being friends before saying goodbye, with an ambulance audible in the background.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome discovers a crowd under a Witch&#039;s Kiss heading toward a rooftop and sends emergency messages to every Magical Girl she knows. Himena&#039;s group arrives to help hold back the crowd, but other girls cannot come due to similar incidents elsewhere. Shizuka finally checks her phone and rushes over with the Tokime Clan just as someone threatens to ignite kerosene. They stop the crowd while Juri and Ao defeat the Witch with Livia&#039;s help. The Witch&#039;s Kiss is lifted and Hibari wakes up confused, with Livia covering that she collapsed from anemia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari admits she felt faint because seeing Kagome surrounded by friends made her happy but also made her feel left behind and alone. Kagome insists Hibari is wrong and promises to come running whenever Hibari is in trouble, asking them to stay best friends forever. Hibari reveals the two wishes she made when they parted came true: that she could speak her mind loudly and that Kagome would make lots of friends. They renew their promise to remain best friends forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari. They bonded over a shared love of &amp;quot;The Adventure of Mandragora.&amp;quot; Hibari gave Kagome a Mandragora plushie named Al-chan and asked to be friends. Kagome learned ventriloquism through Al-chan and grew more confident. The two became inseparable.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kagome&#039;s family moved due to her father&#039;s job transfer, Hibari put a charm on Al-chan with a secret wish. They promised to meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message from Hibari saying she will visit Kamihama. Kagome prepares to show her around.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives in Kamihama. Kagome is happy to see her. They go to the arcade. On the way, they run into Himena and her group. Kagome introduces Hibari. Later, Kagome helps Shizuka, who was lost and struggling with a foreigner. Hibari is impressed by how much Kagome has grown.&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the arcade. Hibari wins a plushie from a difficult crane game in one try. Juri, Yuna, and Ao appear. Juri asks Hibari to win a prize for her. Hibari succeeds. Juri offers a drink as thanks, but Hibari declines.&lt;br /&gt;

** A large group of people under Witch&#039;s Kisses begins heading toward a rooftop. Kagome coordinates with nearby Magical Girls for help. Himena, Shigure, Miyuri, and Yuna hold them off. Reinforcements from other Magical Girls are delayed due to incidents elsewhere. The situation grows dire.&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka finally checks her phone and sees Kagome&#039;s emergency messages. The Tokime Clan arrives and helps stop the crowd. Juri and Ao defeat the Witch. Livia appears to assist. Everyone is safe.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hibari wakes up. Livia explains she fainted due to anemia. Hibari admits she felt left behind seeing Kagome surrounded by friends.

They promise to remain best friends forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yuna&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna and Hikaru discuss school troubles. A girl complains about a PE teacher who measured her skirt length and made her late for class. Yuna promises to discuss the matter with the Student Council.

Senpai advises her to take responsibility to the end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yunass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Yuna holds a meeting with the Parents&#039; Association and teachers to discuss school rule changes. The Parents&#039; Association opposes loosening rules on hair color and hairstyle. Yuna argues that freedom develops autonomy. Hikaru testifies that quitting her club to support Yuna&#039;s campaign improved her grades. The principal proposes a one-year trial. The Parents&#039; Association agrees. Yuna reveals she had already negotiated with the principal and teachers in advance. Hikaru praises her like a politician.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yunass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

*Day 2 (Flashback)&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna explains that Juri lost to her and her senpai, which is why she joined Torayamachi. The group hunted Kyubey to stop him from recruiting Magical Girls. Kyubey agreed to leave Futatsugi. With Kyubey gone, Witches decreased, creating a Grief Seed shortage. Yuna proposed an expedition to find new territory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Day 4&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri struggled at school, frustrated by classmates who avoided conflict and teachers who enabled them. Her anger built up. She reflected on how she became a Magical Girl—she wished for a patient, stout heart to stay in school and not burden her father. The wish gave her patience but did not eliminate her anger; it built up as flames until she exploded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl Yuna introduced continued to spar with Juri. The girl revealed Juri had saved her from a Witch, and she admired Juri.

* Day 5&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri prepared for their duel. Ryuugasaki and Torayamachi factions learned of the fight and gathered to watch, tensions rising. Juri&#039;s father won his boxing match and land deal.

Juri&#039;s attack could not be stopped, and she fatally struck the girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 6&lt;br /&gt;

* The Tokime trio goes shopping and stops by Emiri’s office, where they meet Hinano and Kanoko. After awkward introductions, Shizuka admits she does not know what a factory is, so Kanoko explains. Emiri asks what country life is like; Chiharu and Sunao give different answers from Shizuka since they are more familiar with modern living. They mention meeting only recently, surprising Emiri. Shizuka proudly explains they are bound by their duty to protect Japan, and Emiri says, “As long as you have no regrets, it’s okay.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After thinking it over, she searches for information with help from others, but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hinano explains that because the agreement fell through, local manufacturers like Kanoko’s father stayed in business, so there was little news. Chiharu and Sunao arrange a meeting at the factory and bring Shizuka. Kanoko’s father tells Shizuka his factory would have failed otherwise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Shigure and Hagumu grow close but quickly become jaded. Their families and classmates resent their constant lateness, which comes from Magius work no one can know about.

===Hagumu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hagumu reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. After Walpurgisnacht, the organization dissolved, and many former Feathers joined the Kamihama Magia Union. Hagumu is uncertain, as she believes in Magical Girl Supremacy and cannot accept the Union&#039;s ideology of liberation without sacrifice. Shigure contacts her, asking to meet and talk. Shigure wants to convince Touka and Nemu to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Hagumu is conflicted—she cannot trust the Magius after being exploited, but she also cannot decide what to do. She asks for time to think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hagumu Azumi#Side Story|Hagumu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu meets Maria, a former Magius member who joined the Union. Maria notices Hagumu looks unwell and offers to listen. Hagumu explains her dilemma: she cannot agree with the Union&#039;s ideology, but she also cannot follow Shigure&#039;s plan. Maria suggests Hagumu ask other Magical Girls how they decided. Hagumu recalls her wish was made in haste to save a woman under a Witch&#039;s Kiss, and she regrets not choosing a better wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Moka why she joined the Union. Moka says she joined because she was invited and everyone is kind.

Hagumu realizes they are completely different—Moka has people who protect her, while Hagumu feels she has nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Yukika, a former Black Feather, why she declined the Union. Yukika says she did not want to drag others into trouble. Hagumu sees Yukika has strong convictions and follows them, unlike herself. Hagumu feels more discouraged.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches. Hagumu is moved but asks for more time to discuss it with Shigure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hagumu senses a Witch and goes to help. She sees Riko, an elementary schooler, defeating the Witch on her own.

She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Miyuri&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena, Alexandra, Hagumu, and Shigure watch as San stretches Miyuri. Miyuri&#039;s loud reactions draw attention. Himena asks about Miyuri&#039;s inline skating. Miyuri explains she started skating as a child because she was bad at running and her parents bought her skates. She fell in love with the feeling of cutting through the wind and quickly improved, eventually competing in freestyle competitions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Miyuri Yukari#Side Story|Miyuri&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s social anxiety worsened. She began experiencing panic attacks at competitions and could no longer compete. Her parents signed her up with the Hikarizuka Youth Association to help her interact with people. There, she met San for the first time. San invited her to dance practice. Miyuri fainted from overexcitement while watching San&#039;s legs. She realized she had a leg fetish and that it triggered her anxiety. She began avoiding San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s skating practice suffered. Her mother suggested she visit the Community Center. Miyuri avoided San again and went outside to practice skating alone at night. She felt free and happy while skating. San saw her dancing in the moonlight and was mesmerized. San decided she wanted to help Miyuri grow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish. San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri learned her new power shortened her experience of anxiety. She became more confident but still fainted easily. She fought Witches alone, often blacking out and going berserk.

San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training.

Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Her wish saved the field and gave hope to others. She admits her improved health was partly due to becoming a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After making the newspaper, Nayuta and Mikage fall asleep. Lavi reflects on her past. She reveals that she never found joy in living despite her family&#039;s efforts. Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true. She asks for a little more time in her beloved daily life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The Tokime Tribe holds a celebration to welcome Asahi. During introductions, Chiharu rambles excitedly about her favorite shows, and Asahi finds herself intrigued. When pressed to share more about herself, Asahi talks about hunting and the importance of minimizing suffering. That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun. Everyone apologizes, and they end the day with a shared dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Her classmates are amazed she can talk to the scary teacher so cheerfully. She learns everyone fears him. She asks why he became a teacher, and he admits his parents were teachers and he had wanted to be a singer but never pursued it. He wonders if there is any meaning to his life. Alexandra feels sorrow and wants him to be happy. She begins planning to improve his reputation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey appears and offers to grant any wish. Alexandra wants to capture the teacher&#039;s heart through her own efforts. She decides not to make a wish yet. She organizes a surprise birthday party for him with her classmates. He is genuinely happy and thanks her. He realizes she planned it. She tells him all the students respect him. He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra continues her jokes and attempts to get closer to the teacher. She jokes about marriage and asks for a date on the school trip. He unexpectedly agrees to go shopping with her for a few minutes. She hugs him in excitement. A classmate spots them on the rooftop. Rumors spread quickly. The principal calls the teacher in. He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra cannot wake up from the dream. She imagines the teacher scolding her for playing with his feelings. She decides she needs to apologize in real life. She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love. She tells him her feelings were not a deception—they were true love. She thanks him for a wonderful time and says she now only places her faith in Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Urara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara volunteers to do grocery shopping for Lavi. At the supermarket, she gets distracted by flash sales and buys beef, bean sprouts, and curry ingredients. She forgets Lavi&#039;s shopping list. Lavi forgives her but asks her to be more self-controlled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Urara Yume#Side Story|Urara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Urara and Lavi travel to Yukuni. Urara loses her wallet, but Lavi finds it. At the agency, Urara&#039;s manager asks her to coach a children&#039;s diabolo class as a final job. Urara accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the diabolo class, Urara teaches the class alone. Some children struggle to follow her teaching style. Lavi, Alexandra, and Asahi watch from a distance. During lunch, Urara admits she cannot explain techniques well. Lavi analyzes the wrist angles and timing, and the others offer to help. The class is a success.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Urara feels inadequate and misses her former partner, Kurara. She remembers Kurara was better at teaching. Lavi notices Urara is depressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Several days later, Urara returns to Yukuni to pick up her resignation papers. Lavi accompanies her. Urara admits she misses Kurara. Lavi warns her that reconciliation is unlikely, but Urara insists on trying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the agency, Urara confronts Kurara. Kurara reveals she always resented being compared to Urara&#039;s natural talent and felt like &amp;quot;Not-Urara.&amp;quot; She says breaking up the duo was for the best and asks Urara to stop involving herself. Urara is devastated. She returns to Kamihama and cries to Lavi, who comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Urara receives a message from her manager. A girl named Rei from the diabolo class wants more lessons. Urara agrees to meet her. Rei wants to learn the &amp;quot;Urara Special&amp;quot; to beat a prodigy her age. Urara remembers how she unknowingly hurt Kurara by copying her tricks too easily. She decides to coach Rei properly. Lavi offers to stay and help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara and Rei practice together. Lavi advises on timing. Rei successfully performs the trick. Urara tells her to remember the joy of performing, not just winning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rei competes and wins her first cup by performing the Urara Special, a trick even the prodigy could not do. Rei thanks Urara. Urara realizes that coaching helped her grow and face her regrets about Kurara. Rei asks Urara to be her permanent coach. Urara agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara returns to the Folklore base. She announces she will continue coaching diabolo classes. She wants to pass down her goal of making people smile through diabolo acts to the next generation. Lavi and the others support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nayuta&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta dreams of proving folkloric studies superior to Touka, but Lavi wakes her with obnoxious humming. Lavi scolds her for being a deep sleeper and rushes her to school in Takarazaki City, where Nayuta complains that Lavi acts like a stern stepmother rather than a kind maid her age.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In class, a self‑assessment exercise has Nayuta describe herself as quiet and diligent, but her peers call her stubborn, someone who hates losing and speaks her mind. She reluctantly accepts “stubborn” fits her persistent search for her father. The teacher introduces the Johari Window, explaining that without communication people understand themselves at most fifty percent and others only twenty‑five percent—a lesson that sticks with Nayuta.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Nayuta meets Iroha at the train station. Both are surprised the other remembers them. They discover they are the same grade and both hail from Takarazaki, and Iroha mentions she also searched for a lost loved one. Nayuta requests to see Yachiyo, apologizing for her bluntness. Iroha reassures her, noting they are both stubborn junior‑high girls from Takarazaki who came to Kamihama to find someone important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Yachiyo has no new information about Nayuta’s father. Tsuruno has Nayuta show a photo, but no one recognizes him. Felicia suggests Nayuta simply ask Touka, since she also grew up at Satomi Medical Center. Nayuta refuses, saying she cannot trust Touka, and apologizes for her stubbornness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Nayuta admits to Lavi she slept poorly because she cannot stop thinking about Touka. Mikage arrives, upset after a fight with Sudachi: Mikage complained about school, Sudachi said she envied Mikage for being able to attend, and they argued over whose position was harder.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home. Lavi approves of her standing her ground, and Nayuta realizes she and Lavi are more alike than she thought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Himika tells her about Emiri’s counseling center, so they go there together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the center, Emiri, Sasara, Asuka, and Kanoko are delighted to meet Mitama’s little sister. Mikage explains she is looking for a friend, but Emiri points out they are already her friends. After some banter about fashion, Mikage tries on Kanoko’s outfits and has a wonderful time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mikage wonders if the older girls truly see her as a friend or just as a kid. Himika suggests she meet girls her own age like Ui, Touka, and Nemu, though Mikage is uncertain about befriending the geniuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When she returns home, Mitama warns her that Ui has been kidnapped by Promised Blood and forbids Mikage from associating with the Kamihama Magia Union. Mikage reluctantly agrees but is frustrated her efforts to make friends have been stopped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama leaves for work and Mikage accuses her of hypocrisy—Mitama can spend time with the KMU while Mikage cannot. She runs out, declaring she will find a new big sister. She finds Emiri’s office closed but runs into Rika and Ren, who quickly realize she is Mitama’s sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Mikage bond over fashion and go to some cheap stores, where Mikage realizes she left her wallet. They play a crane game instead, and Rika wins stuffed animals for Ren and Mikage. Mikage asks Rika to be her big sister; Rika declines but encourages her to talk to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory. Kanoko lets her help make a pendant, but before Mikage can convince her to become her sister, Mitama arrives and drags her home. Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any. Later, she finds Mitama has made all her favorite foods, and they reconcile off‑screen; Mikage gives Mitama the pendant she made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage declares she will not give up on making Kamihama Magia Union friends. She then decides that since Lavi and Nayuta are older, they can be her big sisters instead. They exchange a look and agree to treat her for one day. Mikage expresses her hope that someday she and Sudachi can play with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited again. She jokes about the visitor&#039;s persistence. Yozuru and Sudachi return from stocking up on essentials. Sudachi trips, and Yozuru hesitates to help. Livia instructs Yozuru to help Sudachi stand and dust her off. Yozuru apologizes and explains she is not equipped with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the trailer, Yozuru offers tea. Sudachi wants teacakes. Livia allows them to have some as a treat. Livia reflects that she needs to help the girls mature. Yozuru has lost compassion, while Sudachi needs to find her words. Livia believes they will complement each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is found sleeping and crying. Yozuru gives her a handkerchief. Livia says crying in sleep happens occasionally and is common among Coordinators. She thanks Sudachi for finding her dropped ring. Sudachi sulks when Livia refuses to give her sweets as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the ring is a treasure and a way of reprimanding herself. It is the reason she lives for &amp;quot;Mister Sun.&amp;quot; She says she may tell the full story another time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia shares her philosophy: no matter how awful life is, do not drift in a bad direction or relieve resentment with a curse. Magical Girls are born from hope and must overcome struggles with hope. She warns against corrupting purity and urges supporting those with pure hearts. She says she has said enough for now and will share the rest when she is ready. She asks the visitor to promise to live strong, face forward, and not end up like her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This is also belonging to the anime partly. Write the main part on the magia record and then the second part on the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices. Kyubey, whom she calls a talking cat, keeps urging her to make a contract, but she does not know what to wish for—though she finds herself wishing God could speak to humans like Kyubey does.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the boy reads the fairy tale Kuroe recommended. He questions a detail in the story, but Kuroe simply accepts it because the writer says so. He jokes that he feels alive because Kuroe thinks so deeply, meaning it as a compliment. Later a teacher asks about her high school plans; Kuroe claims she has decided, but she is merely following her family’s expectations and secretly does not want to go to high school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe dreams of Iroha, though she cannot understand her words. Her Doppel reflects that her contract gave her affirmation of existence, yet she still does not feel like anyone - she simply adapts to whatever situation she is in, resented by no one and dependent on no one, but still wondering who she should be.

Kuroe wakes up wondering why she dreamed of the camping trip, and she calls Iroha, deciding she wants to connect with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroeds&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Doppel Story|Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sasara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara is taken hostage at knifepoint in a convenience store. Despite her desire to be a knight, she is too terrified to act. Though the police arrest the criminal and she is safe, Sasara feels ashamed and hates herself for her cowardice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sasara Minagi#Side Story|Sasara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sasara meets Kyubey and when he makes his offer, Sasara accepts without hesitation. As her father works for an emergency rescue squad, a job she admires, he gave her a favorite picture book about a knight who defeats a dragon to save a village. Sasara carries this book everywhere and has always wanted to be like her father and the knight. She wishes to become a knight who can protect and save people, asking for a stronger heart and stronger convictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Sasara has been hunting witches and saving their victims ever since making her contract. She calls herself the Knight who protects the people of Kamihama, but over time her feelings become tainted. The people she rescues never remember what happened and do not acknowledge her. Sasara realizes she wants someone to appreciate her and questions whether she really wanted to become a knight at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book. She thought she could accept the people she helped not talking to her, but now it feels like she does not even exist. When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nanaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Needs to be re-checked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako to ask for their help fighting a witch they all share a connection to. To explain why she needs them, Nanaka tells them how she became a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka&#039;s father headed a traditional Japanese flower arranging school, but when he fell ill, senior students took over and grew the school&#039;s popularity while abandoning its traditions, shutting out Nanaka&#039;s family entirely. On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform. She decided to lay the Soul Gem with its owner&#039;s body, and when she placed the gem in the girl&#039;s hands, the girl began breathing again. Later, Kyubey explained that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Kyubey asks if Nanaka will tell the others this secret, but she says she is waiting for the right moment. Nanaka then reflects that her true revenge target is actually Kyubey himself. Her power makes it clear he is her enemy, though she does not know all the details, and she is waiting for the right time to turn against him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Nanaka&#039;s team is still unable to find the witch. Akira reports meeting a magical girl mercenary. As the girls plan their next move, Nanaka muses about how she is gathering the determination of magical girls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuku enjoys time with her friends but feels disconnected from them and uncertain about her future. She finds comfort in Fūnī, a traveler who visits her family&#039;s cafe and shares his dream of finding a place to belong. When he invites her to search with him, she feels hopeful that she will not be alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She stays for dinner and overnight, observing how the five girls live together like a family. Yachiyo invites her to stay as long as she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The next day, Shizuku ends her arrangement with the unknown magical girl and returns to Yachiyo&#039;s house, hoping she can stay there. When she arrives, the house is empty, and she sees the personal items that mark each girl&#039;s place. Overhearing them return, she realizes their home is complete with five people and she does not belong there. She leaves quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Shizuku returns to the unknown magical girl and asks for more work. When asked why she came back, she says their picture was complete with five people and she must keep searching for where she belongs. She mentally apologizes to Yachiyo, knowing her actions will cause disaster but feeling unprepared to take responsibility. She wonders if she will ever find solid ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The day Akira found the barrier, she retraced the girl&#039;s steps in the park and stepped into a witch&#039;s labyrinth. She found the missing girl among blank-faced victims marked by a Witch&#039;s Kiss.

** A few days later, Nanaka called asking for a favor. When they met again, Nanaka requested a duel, claiming Akira was weak and should quit hunting witches. Akira refused, citing her family&#039;s dojo, and they dueled. After some fighting, Nanaka ended the duel and apologized.

Seeing Sana smile gives Manaka new motivation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After contracts of: Kako, Manaka&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A documentary crew follows Ria Ami, whose natural beauty causes crowds to part, though she admits she has no basis for comparison when asked about her challenges. Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ria asks Manaka to be her bodyguard while buying the magazine featuring her article, wearing sunglasses to avoid being seen. Inside, she discovers her article occupies only one page, while Yachiyo has an eight-page spread.

Yuna deduces Sakuya is unsatisfied because she cannot compete meaningfully—using magic makes her times inhuman, so she feels her achievements are not truly hers. Sakuya admits track is everything to her; she used her wish to allow her team to compete after a violent incident got them suspended. Yuna suggests Sakuya might find accomplishment through coaching others, using her experience to help them grow. A Witch appears, and they fight.

===Tsumugi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ria arrives at Walnuts and meets Tsumugi, a girl who has visited every day since Manaka saved her from a witch, worried the empty restaurant might close. Tsumugi&#039;s hobby is writing food reviews, and she believes she can help Walnuts gain popularity. Though Manaka initially resists, Ria suggests letting her try. &amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsumugi Wakana#Side Story|Tsumugi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, Tsumugi shows her reviews receive mixed responses, with some accusing her of exaggeration. She asks Ria for help, explaining that many favorite restaurants from her childhood closed due to low clientele. As Tsumugi enthusiastically describes food, Ria realizes she has potential as a critic and proposes a strategy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Tsumugi has been training with Ria&#039;s help, visiting different restaurants and improving her reviews. Her blog has gained more followers. Meanwhile, Manaka feels she hasn&#039;t reached her father&#039;s level as a chef but refuses to discuss it, insisting a chef cannot ask a diner for advice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and Ria eat at Walnuts. Manaka is surprised by Tsumugi&#039;s improved reviews and lifts any implied ban. Tsumugi wants to fill Walnuts with people, but Manaka says she prefers just Tsumugi coming to enjoy her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi proposes promotional ideas to help Walnuts, including using Ria&#039;s modeling. Ria agrees, and Manaka will seek her father&#039;s approval.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they organize &amp;quot;The Rice Omelette Festival&amp;quot; at Walnuts. No customers arrive for the first half hour. Customers eventually come, but they are from Ria&#039;s advertising. Tsumugi becomes sad, feeling she is not as strong as Ria.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the event, Tsumugi cries and confesses disappointment that none of her followers came, feeling she is just an average student with no unique qualities. Ria encourages her not to let failure discourage her, insisting she has talent. Tsumugi decides to make a contract with Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Walnuts afterward, Tsumugi honestly criticizes Manaka&#039;s omelette, explaining her wish now forces her to tell the truth about food. In a flashback, she wished to help Manaka by learning what she could do. She realized she needed to give objective criticism to truly help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ren&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren stands on a rooftop, contemplating suicide. Kyubey warns her that if she repeats her previous actions, her Soul Gem will be destroyed. Ren understands. She thinks about how people have always said hurtful things and believes she cannot live in such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nearby, Rika defeats a Witch and sees Ren about to jump. She saves her and asks why she wants to die. Ren cannot answer. She reflects on her childhood: she has always had trouble speaking and was teased and bullied for it. She attempted suicide once before but was scared of dying. Kyubey appeared and granted her wish to live.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explained that the bullying was caused by a Witch&#039;s influence—Witches hurt people, who then hurt others. Ren resolved to destroy Witches to create a better world. However, no matter how many Witches she defeated, people still acted cruelly. Kyubey told her that even destroying all Witches would not remove malice from people&#039;s hearts. This is why Ren wanted to die again, but she cannot explain any of this to Rika.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika takes Ren to meet other Magical Girls. At Emiri&#039;s Trouble Consultation Office, Ren meets Akira but cannot introduce herself and nearly cries. Emiri brings her to Ria, who gives her hand cream, and Konomi, who gives her chamomile tea. Rika then takes Ren to the chemistry club, where Hinano gives her candy instead of medicine. They visit Kanoko at her family&#039;s metal factory, where Kanoko shows a dress she designed with mushroom motifs and gives Ren accessories made of metal sheets. Emiri leaves, and Rika admits she never actually listened to Ren&#039;s problem.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika shares her own story: she wished for someone she loved to love her back, even though that person already liked someone else. She says she stole that love with a selfish wish and asks Ren if she thinks she is a horrible person. Ren manages to say she does not think so. Rika is relieved. She explains that to get others to open up, you must share the secrets that create distance.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren tries to tell her story but cannot get the words out and begins crying. Rika tells her not to force herself. She shows Ren all the gifts she received from the others and says that if all these people were thinking about her, she should continue to live. She says the world is filled with both bad and beautiful things, and the most painful thing is to have nothing. Ren says she will live. Rika leaves, and Ren thanks her. Ren thinks that if Rika can accept her story, she will be able to live forever.&lt;br /&gt;

Despite Hazuki&#039;s warnings, Ayame tries Konoha&#039;s cooking. Later, Hazuki returns to find Ayame sick; Konoha learns Ayame was too polite to refuse the food. Hazuki offers to handle meals from now on, which prompts Konoha to resolve that she will learn to make delicious food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konoha Shizumi#Side Story|Konoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha buys cookware and studies cooking theory, suspecting Hazuki might be a cooking prodigy. She makes a disastrous meal incorporating everything she read, and Hazuki collapses after tasting it. Ayame brings home a flyer for a cooking class at &amp;quot;Youshoku Walnuts,&amp;quot; noting that the food there made Hazuki cry. Ayame encourages Konoha, and Konoha resolves to take the class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Konoha meets the teacher, Manaka Kurumi, at the restaurant. Manaka attempts to teach knife skills and how to crack eggs, but Konoha struggles with both. Manaka promises to help her improve. She has Konoha make practice dishes, but Konoha burns oil, over-dashes rice, and explodes miso soup, so Manaka has to take over each time. When finished, Manaka tastes it, insists it&#039;s good to protect her reputation, eats it all, and passes out. Konoha tries the leftovers and confirms it is truly terrible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha hunts a witch with her team while distracted by thoughts about cooking. After they defeat it, Himika Mao arrives late, introduces herself, and asks if they are sisters; Hazuki explains they are not. Himika mentions she is thirteen with five younger siblings. When Ayame asks about being an older sister, Himika invites her to meet her family. Konoha asks to come as Ayame&#039;s guardian upon learning Himika cooks for her family, and Himika accepts. Hazuki says she will prepare dinner at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, at Himika&#039;s house, Konoha and Ayame observe the cramped living space. Himika explains she uses cheap leftover meat blends from a disposal man to feed her family. She serves dinner, and all her siblings along with Ayame eat. When Konoha asks if the food is tasty, the siblings say they never think it&#039;s bad because Himika does her best. Konoha reflects on Azalea&#039;s House and realizes she was too focused on theory rather than on who she was cooking for. She thanks Himika and leaves with Ayame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, Ayame and Hazuki find Konoha cooking again. Konoha promises to give up if she fails this time. Focusing on her feelings rather than theory, she makes a meal from Azalea&#039;s. Hazuki and Ayame try it and say it&#039;s bad, but it&#039;s edible. Konoha is excited that someone could actually eat her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ayame returns home to find Konoha cooking again. Hazuki observes that Konoha has found joy in the act of cooking. Konoha narrates that she learned cooking is about heart, and could now make food people could finish. She thinks cooking is fun, though Ayame and Hazuki sometimes scream loud enough to startle the neighbors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Konoha attempts beef stroganoff, a dish Hazuki admits is difficult. Hazuki and Ayame try it and collapse. Konoha says she will redo it. She narrates that experience matters, and wonders what to try next.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Hazuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame meet with Nanaka, Meiyui, Akira, and Kako at a restaurant to discuss how to handle situations where both teams target the same Witch. Meiyui proposes a first-come, first-served rule, but Hazuki points out it would lead to disputes over who arrived first. Ayame suggests settling conflicts with rock-paper-scissors, and though Meiyui argues there&#039;s no time for games in battle, Hazuki has them try it on the spot. When Ayame and Meiyui play, Meiyui uses a martial arts technique to change Ayame&#039;s hand, causing an argument between the groups. Hazuki calms everyone down and suggests they go home for the day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hazuki Yusa#Side Story|Hazuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls reconvene at the restaurant. Hazuki proposes a new rule: anyone who uses magic against a Witch gains proportional rights to the Grief Seed. Both teams agree, and Hazuki suggests they gather data by hunting together. They split into mixed teams—Ayame and Kako form one; Hazuki, Akira, and Meiyui another and Konoha and Nanaka stand by to help as needed. After the successful joint hunt, Nanaka meets with Hazuki alone at the restaurant. She reveals she believes Hazuki manipulated the entire situation from the first meeting, noting that her team was impressed with Hazuki&#039;s group&#039;s teamwork but that she herself was more struck by Hazuki&#039;s modus operandi. Nanaka asks why Hazuki orchestrated everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki admits she wanted Konoha, who is introverted, to connect with others and that after the Witch fight, Konoha seemed genuinely happy. She explains her goal was simply to build connections between her group and other Kamihama Magical Girls. Nanaka accepts this and says she&#039;s glad to work with her. Later, Hazuki writes in her notebook that Nanaka is shrewd but fascinating, and she resolves to continue reaching out to other Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ayame&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame encounters Felicia during a Witch fight, and their rivalry quickly escalates when Felicia dismisses Ayame&#039;s challenge to lead the girls to argue and accidentally let the Witch escape. Frustrated by losing to Felicia specifically, Ayame confronts her afterward, and despite Kako&#039;s attempts to mediate, the two insist on settling things through some competition. Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch. Emerging back in the park, Felicia thanks Ayame, and they realize the race was never finished. They resume, but Ayame admits she&#039;s fine with not winning and she has come to accept Felicia as a strong rival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ayamess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ayame Mikuri#Side Story|Ayame&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kokoro gives Masara cookies simply because she wants to, leaving Masara confused by the gesture. Masara flashes back to their first meeting, when Kokoro had blamed herself for being unable to protect others and Masara told her she should not carry that guilt. Kokoro had asked to stay by Masara&#039;s side, explaining that those words had saved her. In the present, Kokoro asks what Masara is thinking about, and when Masara admits she was remembering their first meeting, Kokoro smiles. Masara does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Masara Kagami#Side Story|Masara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mitama suggests she try attending a summer festival and hands her a flyer, but Masara shows no interest.

Despite showing talent, she never felt any joy or sense of accomplishment, though she continued hoping it might eventually change. It never did. She became a magical girl thinking her dull life might finally become interesting, but even that eventually grew boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead. The Witch targets Kokoro, and Masara injures herself by blocking the attack. The Witch escapes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro apologizes, but Masara claims she only did what was most logical, since the Witch could not have been defeated alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Masara keeps flashing back to the moment the Witch attacked Kokoro whenever she looks at her injury. The recurring memory bothers her, though she does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Kokoro offers to hunt the Witch again with Masara. Masara flashes back to the previous fight and insists she will hunt it alone.

** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help. Masara agrees and tells Kokoro to call her next time.

Kako fashions the flower into a ring, and the girl calls it pretty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi realizes they have been giving flowers without understanding what recipients truly want. She decides to create something more meaningful.

&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Rika is invited to a blind date by Emiri Kisaki, who brings along Hinano Miyako, a girl recently heartbroken. When the boys on the date mock Hinano&#039;s youthful appearance and odd way of speaking, Rika surprises her by defending them. Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her. Emiri and Rika quickly reassure Hinano, with Rika adding that Hinano is actually cool for having been able to confess her feelings—unlike Rika, who never confessed at all and watched her crush end up with someone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri then suggests Rika should make a wish, revealing that she and Hinano are magical girls who each received one wish in exchange for fighting monsters. Rika wonders if this is some kind of game. Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mayu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mayu is a third-year student at Mizuna Academy who works part-time at the Kamihama Contemporary Art Museum. When she accidentally breaks the museum director&#039;s cup, her boss handles the situation calmly and kindly. After work, she meets her friend Sayuki Fumino outside the museum, and when Sayuki cannot stay, Mayu&#039;s boss offers to accompany her to an exhibit instead. They later go to a cafe, where Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi are also present. Ria grows increasingly annoyed overhearing Mayu&#039;s conversation with her boss, particularly when he hints at wanting to take her somewhere else and praises her cooking. At home that evening, Mayu cooks for her mother and asks if her father would have eaten her cooking, wondering what life would be like if he were still alive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayu Kozue#Side Story|Mayu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at school, Mayu talks with Sayuki about the sword exhibit. She then heads to work, and after her shift ends, her boss mentions his wife and child are away and invites her out to eat. Mayu declines. As she leaves, she forgets her phone, and her boss rushes to return it, asking again about dinner with growing intensity. Ria suddenly appears and bumps into him, yelling at them for flirting and demanding they sit for a lecture. Mayu&#039;s boss says she ruined it and leaves. Ria warns Mayu that her sweet, innocent air attracts older men and that if things continue, his family will fall apart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home that night, Mayu reflects on the day she learned of her father&#039;s death and on Ria&#039;s words. Kyubey appears and offers a contract. Thinking she does not want her boss&#039;s family to suffer the same hardship her family did, Mayu makes her wish: to stop his family from breaking apart. That night, she narrates that her boss transferred to a new job, and she is sure her wish was granted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later at school, Mayu finds boys have started hitting on her. Ria constantly steps in to drive them off. Before Ria can finish telling Mayu to shape up, they both sense a Witch. The girls reveal they are Magical Girls, and they track the Witch to the museum&#039;s special exhibit room. Sayuki suddenly appears and reveals she is also a Magical Girl. During the fight, Mayu notices the Witch only targets Ria. She asks Sayuki to lend her strength and launches a surprise attack, destroying the Witch. Afterward, Mayu thinks that to protect people she must think clearly before acting, and Ria admits Mayu was more reliable than usual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As a child, Sayuki attends an idol performance with her parents, but when the crowd becomes dangerously wild, she is almost squeezed to death, leaving her with lasting trauma.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayuki Fumino#Side Story|Sayuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Growing up in a happy family, Sayuki develops a deep interest in katanas that creates a gap between her and her classmates. Though they respect her passion, she feels lonely without someone to share it with. This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert. Sayuki believes speaking out is important no matter the outcome and swears to protect the kind people who have been kind to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka. Moka thanks Alina for saving her and says she has now made new friends, resolving to devote herself to exterminating witches and admitting she is only a little afraid of them now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Riko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Sis = Miss K. Check what Exedra says&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Years ago, Riko spent her childhood with a cheerful older neighbor girl she called &amp;quot;Sis&amp;quot; while her parents worked long hours at their family bento shop. They grew as close as sisters until Sis became engaged to marry someone far away. When Sis&#039;s father suddenly opposed the match despite approving it before, Riko wished upon Kyubey that everyone would give their blessings to the marriage. Her wish worked, and Sis moved away happily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Riko Chiaki#Side Story|Riko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Riko struggles with loneliness waiting alone at home while her parents work overtime. One night, after they call to say they cannot return until after midnight due to a huge order, years of broken promises finally overwhelm her. She snaps, calls them liars who were never there for her like Sis was, and tells them she hates them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko goes Witch hunting to vent her stress but nearly dies against a stronger Witch. In that moment, despair crushes her and she wishes she had never made her wish so Sis would still be there. Tsukasa, a regular at her family&#039;s shop, finds her crying and listens as Riko confides everything about her feelings and what happened with Sis. Speaking from experience, Tsukasa tells her that separation is no excuse for broken contact and recommends she reach out to Sis directly. Riko messages Sis that night before falling asleep exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sis replies promptly. She explains she wanted to contact Riko but left home after arguing with her father and thought a visit would be awkward. She also reveals she was hospitalized to give birth and only discharged that day, inviting Riko to come see her instead. When Riko asks her parents for permission, expecting them to refuse, they apologize sincerely and grant permission for the trip.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Riko visits Sis with her parents. Sis introduces her husband and newborn daughter, hoping Riko will get along with her child just as they once got along. Riko makes a silent promise to be a good sister to this baby and aims to grow into a fine lady, just like Sis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maria&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Maria bids her parents goodbye for the day. Her mother gives her money for dinner, which Maria insists on keeping only a small portion of, and Maria mentions she will be at her part‑time daycare job after school. On her way to school, she runs into two little girls, one of whom attends the daycare where she works.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the daycare, the children swarm Maria with requests. She notices a boy named Shin‑kun looking down and tries to find out what is wrong, but he does not want to talk. Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work. Maria suggests she spend a day with Shin to reconnect, and Shin’s mother agrees. Maria promises to put together a plan by the weekend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Later she presents her weekend plans to Shin’s mother, who is impressed and begins looking forward to the outing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, Maria goes to the park where she knows Shin and his mother should be. She watches as they struggle to connect: Shin wants to play in a fountain, but his mother cannot explain why he should not, and they end up standing awkwardly. Maria pretends to run into them and decides to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to the playground, where Maria encourages Shin to try a tightrope bridge. When he gets nervous, she prompts his mother to take his hand, and together they cross. After lunch, Shin’s mother gets a call from work asking her to come in on her day off. She agrees, and Shin looks heartbroken. Maria offers to watch Shin until dark, and his mother gratefully accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria takes Shin to various places, and he sadly remarks that his mother is too busy for him. Understanding his loneliness, Maria vows to make the day special. At the aquarium she convinces him to see a show he ends up loving. As evening falls, they stop for takoyaki, and Maria explains that his mother tells him not to eat while walking for good reasons. Shin finally understands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shin’s mother appears, explaining work no longer needs her. She admits she has trouble expressing herself, but Shin overhears and hugs her. They both confess they thought the other did not love them. Maria shares that she was often lonely as a child but still loved her parents, and she tells Shin’s mother she does not need to be perfect. Shin shows his mother the souvenir and the last piece of takoyaki he saved for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As darkness falls, Maria walks home alone. She reflects on whether she could ever be a good mother, remembering Kyubey’s revelation that her Soul Gem is her actual soul and her body is merely a vessel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mel&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mel stays home after her reading warns of lethal danger, but Kanagi dismisses her concerns and drags her to school anyway. On the way, a Witch targets only Mel before escaping, and a possessed car then attempts to run her down. She flees west into the Mizuno region, where Yachiyo saves her. Despite Kanagi&#039;s warnings about discrimination from the West, Yachiyo&#039;s kindness puts her at ease, and Mel accepts her invitation to stay. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she requests to join Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kanagi gives permission. From that day, Mel bonds with Mifuyu, Tsuruno, and Momoko as part of her new team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Despite Yachiyo&#039;s skepticism, Mel coaxes her into a session predicting a career breakthrough.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was.

** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes. Afterward they visit Mitama, who suggests they train in Endless Mirrors if they plan to remain independent rather than join Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Temari and Mikura commute to school exhausted. Temari stayed up testing a new metal pen, and Mikura correctly guesses she is in modern literature mode.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Temari is distracted thinking about Witch strategies while Mikura worries about Seira, who had fallen asleep in class from exhaustion. Seira joins them, and Temari suggests they create their own space to escape the stress of magical girl life. Seira proposes forming a school club where they can pursue their hobbies freely, and they agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Seira secures an empty classroom as a provisional club room under the name Historical Research Club. On paper they study history, but in reality it becomes their oasis for reading, watching films, and relaxing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the girls are enjoying their club activities, yet Temari still feels unsettled about not knowing her magic. Mikura reflects that they have been following Temari’s suggestions lately—staying independent, creating the club—but says she will mention it if she notices anything. When Mikura asks what Temari is reading, Temari replies she is still on the same author, and Mikura calls her as unpredictable as ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Hotori and her twin Rion prepare for a school camping trip. Hotori gets distracted watching her favorite sentai show, Dragoon Red, and Rion teases her for still liking children’s fantasy.

** At camp, Hotori’s group hikes through the forest. She is frightened by insects, and when Rion appears and drives her friends away, Hotori ends up scolded for letting her sister interfere.

** During archery, Hotori struggles to pull the bowstring but remembers Dragoon Red’s words about perseverance and manages to shoot. Rion performs better, but Hotori’s friends cheer her up.

** Hotori lies to the teachers and searches the forest. She finds Kyubey, who offers her a contract: any wish in exchange for becoming a magical girl who fights witches. When she finds Rion acting strangely, Kyubey explains Rion has a witch’s kiss. Rion enters a witch’s barrier, and Hotori follows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Terrified but thinking of Dragoon Red’s words, Hotori makes her wish: “I wish to be a hero strong enough to protect Rion.” She defeats the witch alone, saves Rion, and is relieved when her sister wakes up safe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Months later, Hotori now fights witches with a team. During one battle she freezes and is saved by Rion and Yukika Nanase. Yukika asks about Hotori’s notebook, and Hotori explains she wants to be brave like the sentai heroes. Yukika privately knows the truth from another timeline: the twins’ memories were altered by Rion’s wish, and Hotori’s original wish may have been to become strong enough to protect Rion. Hotori, unaware, continues striving to be a hero.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;

* At her new school, Sakurako meets Hinano Miyako, who warns her not to mention being a Rumor in class. During introductions, Sakurako announces she is here to learn about human society, is technically zero years old, and has been assigned an age to match her appearance.

===Ryoko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryoko’s story begins at Suitoku Temple, the Tokime Tribe’s base, which was slated for demolition while officials hid the harm it would cause. Though she is from a neighboring town, Ryoko is bound to the tribe by blood, and she makes a wish to disclose the demolition details—saving the temple. Raised by her grandfather in a strict Buddhist temple, she is told her mother was a hero who saved the country yet died and left her behind. Ryoko grows to resent heroism, viewing it as empty fame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Her cynicism is tested when Moka Megumi tries to save a drowning kitten despite being unable to swim. Ryoko rescues her and asks why; Moka says she simply cannot stand someone dying on her watch. Ryoko does not take her seriously at first, still believing people play the hero only to be seen as one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The turning point comes when her grandfather plays a recording of her mother’s final message. Her mother worked in intelligence, gathering intel on domestic terrorists, and when backup failed to arrive, she acted alone to prevent a war. The revelation shatters Ryoko’s old beliefs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kush&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama’s adjuster shop, Karin Misono finds Kush sleeping inside the tent. Mitama explains that Kush cannot stay awake during the day due to her wish: “I just want the morning to never come.” Kush reveals she made her wish because she longed to live in a fantasy world like the one in her favorite book, &#039;Good‑Bye Fable,&#039; and her magical girl outfit resembles the story’s protagonist. Ui Tamaki and Little Kyubey arrive, and Kush briefly attacks Little Kyubey, mistaking him for the Kyubey she despises. Over tea, Mitama notices Kush’s long canine teeth stained red and later receives a message from her sister Mikage about a rumor of a vampire girl in the Hokuyo Mountains. Karin and Kush agree to investigate together, but Kush runs off to her night class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, the two meet up with Riko Chiaki and Ashley Taylor, who are making a horror video about the same rumor. The group searches the mountains at night. Kush can see in the dark and leads them, but she is still sleepy. They find a discarded camera containing a video of Rui Mizuki dropping it and disappearing. When a mysterious sound frightens the others, they accidentally leave Kush behind. Left alone, Kush eats cherry tomatoes and senses a witch. The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one. They also learn that Rui is Kush’s friend; she had filmed Kush entering the barrier before being caught by it. The group later glimpses a white‑haired silhouette and flees, thinking a real vampire might exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley posts a video warning others to stay away from the mountains. At Mitama’s shop, Ui hears about the incident and learns the vampire was just a misunderstanding. Meanwhile, Chika Aoba, whose animal traps and axe cuts the group had found, decides to move her work farther from the trails so she does not frighten anyone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Homura Akemi in Magia Record#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is flooded with more memories of her other self preparing for Walpurgisnacht with allies. She wonders if there might be a real possibility for salvation in this timeline, where no one has to be sacrificed. However, she believes it has nothing to do with her. She breaks out of the labyrinth and the dream ends. Kyubey asks if she was curious about what happened to her other self. Homura says it does not matter; she believes in Madoka&#039;s words that her efforts will not be in vain. A new universe is about to be born, and Homura must protect it for Madoka&#039;s sake. Kyubey states they will both forget Madoka, but Homura is determined to never forget her.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new universe where Witches do not exist, Kyoko is surprised to find Sayaka has disappeared. Mami explains the Law of Cycles causes Magical Girls to disappear when they lose hope. Homura cries as she remembers Madoka, but neither Mami nor Kyoko know who Madoka is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka spend the day together in Kamihama, enjoying each other’s company until they encounter Ria Ami, a model and magical girl who has already defeated the witch they were tracking. Ria invites them to tea and later takes them to the fashion district, where she notices that Homura’s attention never leaves Madoka. Admitting her jealousy, Ria says she wishes someone would look at her the same way, and Homura replies that she will protect Madoka. After Ria departs, Homura thinks that even if Madoka does not realize how cool she is, she will still save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Homura steals weapons from a group called the Soukaihou using her time stop, but she is caught afterward by Meiyui Chun, a magical girl affiliated with the group. Instead of punishing her, Meiyui thanks her for taking weapons that belonged to troublemakers and invites Homura to share mapo tofu. Over the meal, Meiyui learns Homura fights to protect someone precious to her and says she understands, offering her support and suggesting the spicy dish whenever the burden becomes too painful to bear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Homura is practicing her shooting alone when Natsuki Utsuho, a magical girl who cheers for others, offers to encourage her. Natsuki deduces Homura’s time stop ability and gives advice that significantly improves her aim. When Natsuki suggests Homura ask Mami to coach her, Homura calls, and Mami arrives within an hour. Mami uses her ribbons to move within Homura’s time stop during a sparring match, praising her rapid progress afterward. Homura agrees to return to Mitakihara with Mami, reflecting that she will keep moving forward to become a magical girl capable of protecting Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Sayaka arrives in Kamihama City to go shopping with Kyosuke Kamijou, though she insists it is not a date. When she hears a scream, she runs toward it and discovers Hinano Miyako at an empty elementary school. Hinano explains she was bumped on the head while setting up the chemistry lab, and Sayaka decides to help investigate. They find the culprit was a baseball that flew through the window from the baseball club practicing outside. Hinano returns the ball to a child and gives Sayaka a perfume she made, wishing her good luck on her date despite Sayaka&#039;s protests.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later in the shopping district, Emiri Kisaki approaches Sayaka, drawn by the perfume. After realizing Sayaka is not Hinano, Emiri offers to coordinate her wardrobe, claiming to be the &amp;quot;Cutest in the World.&amp;quot; Sayaka learns Emiri is also a magical girl but remains unsatisfied with the outfit suggestions, explaining the person she likes does not care about appearances. Emiri takes her to the top of a tower, where they view the city at night. Sayaka thanks her before heading to the train station, reflecting that her love is supported by the magical girls of Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the outing with Kyosuke arrives. After buying a CD, Kyosuke messages that his train is delayed. Sayaka fights a Witch she senses and meets Kokoro Awane, defeating it together. With time to spare, Kokoro invites her for tea. Sayaka shares that she became a magical girl to heal someone she loves, and Kokoro reveals she wished to bring her family together. Though problems remain, Kokoro believes she can unite them through her own power, and Sayaka finds strength in her words. When Kyosuke is about to arrive, Kokoro encourages her, and Sayaka runs to the station, feeling it will be a good day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On a later day, Mami is approached at a cafe by Rika Ayano, who admires her fighting style and asks to be friends. They spend the day shopping and at an arcade, and Mami admits she has not enjoyed herself like this in a while. Rika reminds Mami of Kyoko Sakura, and Mami reflects on her friendships in Mitakihara. They exchange contact information and agree to hang out again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, after Mami fights off familiars, Nanaka Tokiwa confronts her, having heard rumors about the strongest Magical Girl from Mitakihara. Nanaka wants to team up or fight her, and Akira Shinobu arrives, also eager to challenge Mami based on exaggerated rumors. Mami agrees to fight them on one condition: they have tea with her first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ultimate&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart. She also finds Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, who were never supposed to become magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Panicking because she cannot prevent magical girls from becoming witches in this universe, Madoka investigates. She discovers the source blocking her intervention originated when the Holy Quintet first visited Kamihama, and she observes how Touka and Nemu—fated to die in every other universe—are alive and plotting with the Magius to lure Walpurgis Night to hatch Eve. Madoka reflects that their plan, if successful, would achieve what she herself accomplished. Unsure whether to intervene, she decides to investigate further and chooses Iroha as her next focal point, since this is the only universe where Iroha contracted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka observes Iroha’s past and finds the singular difference: on a normal day, Iroha took her usual shortcut but accidentally kicked a small pebble, nearly making her late. This tiny butterfly effect led to Iroha contracting and Ui, Nemu, and Touka surviving, derailing the universe’s fate. Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka decides not to interfere, fearing a clash that could destroy the universe. However, she laments that she may have no choice but to trample Iroha’s wish if this universe, now a singularity, threatens the stability of all other universes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She uses Yuma Chitose as a distraction to keep Kyubey away from Madoka, then later convinces Yuma to contract by claiming Kyoko is in danger. Oriko also recruits Kirika Kure as her pawn. When Kirika kills another magical girl, Oriko decides to use the murders to further distract Kyubey from Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Oriko Mikuni in Magia Record#Side Story|Oriko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She witnesses a spatial distortion connecting Mitakihara to Kamihama City and begins to suspect Kamihama might hold the key to changing the future. Oriko sends Kirika to Kamihama under the pretense of buying tea, instructing her to gather information from Mami and other magical girls there. She then takes Yuma to Kamihama herself, leaving her inside a witch barrier knowing Kyoko will come to rescue her. While exploring Kamihama for answers, Oriko nearly dies inside a powerful witch barrier and realizes she needs Kirika&#039;s help to continue. Kirika eventually returns home safely, reporting that Mami and Kyoko are also investigating Kamihama and that the city has an unusually high number of witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Shizuka finds Kanoko at school with Sana, Tsumugi, and Manaka. Kanoko agrees to help. At Manaka&#039;s restaurant, they discuss design options. Kanoko suggests adding colorful mushroom lace and appliques. Sana suggests cat lace. Tsumugi suggests adding &amp;quot;TOKIME&amp;quot; on the back. Everyone is excited, but Manaka later sees the design and is horrified. She tells Shizuka it is inappropriate for a ceremonial outfit. Shizuka agrees it is too ostentatious.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana suggests asking Mifuyu, whose family runs a kimono shop. Mifuyu cannot help because her craftsman is ill, but she suggests asking Mitama, the Coordinator.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka visits Mitama. Mitama performs a Coordination, altering Shizuka&#039;s outfit to match her imagination of the traditional ceremonial costume. Shizuka is amazed by the result and feels confident and resolved.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka returns home. Chiharu and Sunao reveal they secretly learned to make New Year&#039;s Eve soba as a gift for her. They serve it to her. Shizuka is deeply touched and thanks them. She reflects on how much she has been helped by everyone and believes the new year will be wonderful.&lt;br /&gt;

===Iroha &amp;amp; Ui&#039;s Shrine Maiden Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno are being lazy, still treating it like New Year&#039;s. Yachiyo scolds them. Iroha and Ui feel anxious about the upcoming school semester but realize they have forgotten something important. Yachiyo suggests it might be cleaning. Iroha and Ui remember they need to clean their house in Takarazaki. The group agrees to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha &amp;amp; Ui (Shrine Maiden)#Side Story|Iroha &amp;amp; Ui&#039;s Shrine Maiden Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the house, they clean together. Felicia finds a photo album. Everyone looks through pictures of Iroha and Ui as children. They see photos from Ui&#039;s birthday party at the hospital, a Christmas when they had a flour snowball fight, and other memories. The girls tease Iroha for being a dork, and Iroha gets embarrassed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After cleaning, they take a break. Ui wants to have a party at the house, which has always been a dream of hers since she was hospitalized for so long. Iroha agrees. They buy cakes and cookies from a nearby pastry shop. Back at the house, they hold a small party. Yachiyo is worried about the cost, but Iroha says she and Ui paid with their allowance. They toast to everyone&#039;s help with cleaning. Felicia accidentally spills juice, and they laugh. As evening falls, they return to Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Ui receive a New Year&#039;s card from their parents overseas. They want to send something back but cannot decide how. Tsuruno and Felicia are watching a comedy show about an elderly couple sending video messages to their children. This gives Iroha and Ui the idea to record a video message for their parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They film their first video, but Yachiyo says it is too ordinary. Sana suggests making it more unique. Ui wants to introduce everyone at Mikazuki Villa to their parents. Iroha agrees. They try filming again with a script, but the takes go poorly—Yachiyo overthinks her cooking scene, Felicia struggles to tutor Ui, and Tsuruno is late. Ui suggests they abandon the script and just be themselves. They record a video of their daily life together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the video, Iroha and Ui perform a shrine maiden&#039;s dance they learned from helping at a shrine over New Year&#039;s. They tell their parents not to worry and wish them luck with work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s parents watch the video overseas. They are moved by seeing their daughters having so much fun. The father decides they will return to Japan this year to see their daughters in person. Iroha hopes her mother can see their shrine maiden dance next year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Kimono)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Mitakihara City’s school closing ceremony, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura walk out together. Sayaka is glad the term is over, Madoka is excited, and Homura admits she will feel lonely without seeing them every day. Sayaka ruffles her hair and says they can still meet over break, whether hunting witches or hanging out. Madoka suggests visiting Mizuna Shrine in Kamihama for New Year’s to draw “Ultimate Fortunes.” Sayaka has other plans but encourages them to go together. After she leaves, Madoka asks Homura if she knows how to put on formal wear. Homura does not, so Madoka invites her to a kimono‑dressing class she found, saying she wanted the two of them to dress up with Sayaka but lacked the courage to go alone. Homura agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class, the instructor dresses them first; Madoka thinks Homura looks beautiful, and Homura calls Madoka cute. When the actual lesson begins, Madoka struggles badly and trips, while Homura learns quickly enough that the instructor says she will have no trouble. Madoka takes a break outside, feeling useless. Sayaka happens by and asks why she wanted to dress up in the first place - to have fun. Sayaka tells her not to overthink; even if she makes mistakes, she will still have the memories. Encouraged, Madoka returns and finally manages to dress herself after another trip.&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year’s Day, both have their formal wear put on at a store. They joke that the class was interesting but not very useful for the real occasion. They take lots of pictures to show Sayaka, then wish each other a happy new year and go to Mizuna Shrine to draw fortunes. Madoka hopes everyone has a lucky year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka find themselves trapped in a strange dream—a life-sized board game set across Kamihama City. They must reach the goal by following the game&#039;s rules. There are no Familiars or attempts to harm them, so Homura suspects it is accidental mischief rather than a trap. They roll dice to move between squares and complete missions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Kimono)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;First Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They arrive at a shopping center. The mission is to deliver lost items from the New Year&#039;s sale to the Information Desk. They meet Aimi, who found a plain notebook with no name. Aimi worries it is someone&#039;s secret fantasy diary and does not want to read it. They take it to the Information Desk and complete the mission. Aimi mentions she is shopping for materials to knit a scarf or gloves for a boy named Hayato.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** They roll again and move to a new square. The mission is to reunite two sisters who failed to meet. They find Tsukasa waiting for her twin Tsukuyo. Tsukuyo forgot her phone and cannot remember the meeting spot. Madoka and Homura offer to find Tsukuyo. They find her, but Tsukasa has wandered off while waiting. The sisters fail to meet, and Homura and Madoka lose three turns. They eventually reach the Mizuna Shrine goal, but the game says they have not met the goal conditions and sends them back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Second Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They are back at the beginning, wearing their kimonos. They see their past selves from the first loop. The same mission appears—reunite the twins. They meet Tsukasa again, who remembers them from before and is confused by their kimono change. Madoka tells Tsukasa where Tsukuyo is, but Tsukasa runs off before Madoka can explain she should wait. They try to find Tsukasa but fail. The mission fails again, and they are sent back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Third Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes: buy a lucky bag costing one million Magica. They search for a store and take a break at a cafe. They see Ria being interviewed and overhear a boy named Hayato saying he needs a warmer scarf. They find Kokoro and Masara, who lead them to a stationery lucky bag. Kokoro mentions Tsukasa is still looking for Tsukuyo. Madoka wants to help Tsukasa, and Homura agrees. They find Tsukuyo, who has been wandering and dropped something important. They learn Tsukuyo dropped her exchange diary with Tsukasa—the same notebook Aimi found. The mission completes, but they are sent back to the start again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes again: help a child who lost something. They find Tsukuyo waiting. She dropped the exchange diary. Homura and Madoka take her to the Information Desk to reclaim it. Madoka remembers Tsukasa was last seen near a specific area. They wait there and finally reunite the twins. They also tell Aimi that Hayato wants a warm scarf. Everyone ends up happy. Homura and Madoka reach the goal without regrets. Homura reflects that she does not want the dream to last longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka learns the meaning of &amp;quot;When winter comes, spring isn&#039;t far behind&amp;quot; at the end of December. Just before New Year&#039;s Eve, Madoka asks if anyone has plans for the holiday. Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko and Nagisa meet the teacher and children at the park. The kids immediately recognize Kyoko, so the pair double down on the movie lie. The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the performance, Kyoko and Sayaka use quick‑change costumes while Nagisa sneaks discarded clothes off set. The children are awed by the glowing weapons and effects, explained with lighting tricks and soap bubbles. After the class leaves, the group reviews the footage and decides to keep a copy. Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko returns the props to Sayuki, then visits an aquarium to pass time. As she leaves, she spots the same kindergarteners, detects a witch, and rushes to fight it. She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She is hunting for discounted Valentine&#039;s chocolate. She visits Sugar Plum but finds the chocolate coins sold out. She runs into Kyoko. They keep encountering each other at multiple stores and realize they are both after the same Valentine&#039;s Day exclusive Pink Tapir chocolate coins. They form an alliance to share information and split the chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe (Valentine)#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Valentine Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Pink Tapir station store, a clerk informs them the sale has moved to a new outlet location and gives them a map. On the way, a delivery truck carrying the chocolate coins is possessed by a Witch&#039;s Kiss and goes on a rampage. Nagisa and Kyoko chase it, jump onto the truck, and enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Nagisa uses her forbidden technique to defeat the Witch. The truck and other vehicles are unharmed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the outlet store and buy the chocolate coins. Nagisa reflects on her memory of eating Pink Tapir chocolate coins for the first time at a hospital charity event when her mother was sick. She wonders if this universe&#039;s Nagisa would have had the same experience. She and Kyoko hurry to Mami&#039;s chocolate party. Kyoko reveals she bought a chocolate cake from Sugar Plum for everyone. Nagisa shares her pink chocolate coins. Mami is happy they are getting along. The next day, the chocolate hunt continues. At the outlet store, Ms. Saotome buys chocolate coins for a hospital charity event, continuing the tradition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They have more fun than they expected, but Tsukuyo suffers a heat stroke and is cared for by the group after Tsukasa panics. When Tsukasa tries to repay the favor, Yachiyo jokes that she should quit the Wings of Magius, then smiles when Tsukasa refuses as expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Their final opponents are Miyako, Kokoro, Masara, and Ren, with Ren proving surprisingly athletic. Miyako’s team wins after Yachiyo avoids stepping on a rare hermit crab, but everyone agrees Tsukasa has repaid her debt, and the sisters admit they had a wonderful time. They end the day drinking juice Yachiyo bought for them and buying matching crescent moon accessories in different colors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

** By evening, everyone has met their quota. Rena and Kaede rush to the beach. But Rena has eaten too much chocolate and feels bloated. She is embarrassed and refuses to go swimming. She goes to bed early.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rena, Kaede, and Momoko finally play at the beach. Mitama, Kanagi, and Mifuyu visit. Mitama has brought homemade rice balls as a reward. To decide who gets them, they hold a fishing contest. Rena and Kaede catch a pufferfish but come in second place. Kanagi wins first place and gets stuck with Mitama&#039;s cooking. Mifuyu is affected first. Rena and Kaede eat the remaining Mitama musubi and feel sick. They rest for the rest of the afternoon. Yachiyo goes shopping alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Rena and Kaede notice Yachiyo acting strange. They follow her and find her with fireworks. Yachiyo admits she bought them for everyone but felt too shy to ask. Rena and Kaede insist on setting them off together. They gather everyone. The group enjoys fireworks on the beach. Rena and Kaede stay up late playing with the leftovers. Momoko reflects on how much they have changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They wake up past noon. There is only an hour before the bus leaves. They quickly change into swimsuits and race to the beach. Rena loses and buys everyone juice. They enjoy a brief swim before heading home. Kaede says she is glad she came to the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama asks Momoko to be her partner for the Beachside Perfect Pair Contest. The prizes include a scallop BBQ, Candy World tickets for Mikage, and a giant stuffed bunny Rena and Kaede would love. Momoko agrees, and Mitama immediately drags her out shopping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They browse swimsuits, but Mitama insists on choosing thoughtfully rather than buying on a whim. They separate briefly, and Mitama runs into Mikage, deflecting questions about what she’s doing. Momoko later admits she also had to make excuses after running into Rena and Kaede. Instead of buying swimsuits, Mitama brings Momoko back for an adjustment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the adjustment, they emerge in new swimsuits—Momoko’s tailored perfectly to her tastes, leaving her flustered but secretly pleased. Mitama teases her and admits she’s nervous but excited.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On contest day, Mitama and Momoko play on the beach. They learn the contest requires performing a shared beach memory with chemistry. They plan to tell the story of Mitama’s deserted island ordeal while Momoko adds her side of worrying. While playing, they fight a Witch together—the first time Mitama has teamed up with someone—then run straight into Rena, Kaede, and Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They win by performing the events of the day instead of their planned story. Rena claims the stuffed bunny, and Mikage gets the Candy World tickets, immediately inviting Mitama. Apologies are exchanged, and the others ask for no more secrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, while Mitama and Momoko clean up, Rena and Kaede take Mikage to get drinks. A girl from Mitama’s past confronts her: the one Mitama accidentally shoved down the stairs years ago. A crowd gathers, muttering rumors, but Momoko defends Mitama and the crowd disperses. The girl realizes it was an accident and offers to help clear Mitama’s name, but Mitama declines, saying she no longer needs it because she has someone who believes in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka arrives at a resort with her friends, carrying her mother’s challenge to do something she can only do now. After rescuing an old woman’s hat from the sea, she learns the hat was a gift from the woman’s daughter, Himari.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group spends the day swimming, building a sandcastle, and splitting into smaller activities. While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The girls complete the rally together, with the final photo taken at a sunflower field. That evening, a storm cancels the flower tour, but the photographer invites them to meet the next morning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the photographer leads them to a hidden pond where barringtonia blossoms float. She reveals this was the special place she and Himari had planned to visit. Madoka recognizes Himari’s name and, with her friends’ help, finds the old woman from the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The old woman and the photographer meet; the photographer confesses her guilt over their childhood fight, but the woman explains Himari never mentioned any quarrel—her illness suddenly worsened that day. The two women reconcile, and both thank Madoka for bringing them together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond. Madoka reflects that the thing she could only do here was to reunite the two women and give them peace. Her friends call her for one last swim, and she runs off to join them, already thinking of returning to the island someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story and Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
It has two versions I made, assimilate them if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomuradsSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At registration, Mitama announces all participants must wear swimwear, offering to transform their outfits for free. Homura is surprisingly excited, and Sayaka gets roped into wearing a ridiculous mushroom‑mermaid costume designed by Kanoko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many familiar magical girls attend as participants or catering staff. Hazuki reveals her hatred of worms, Konoha faints from watching bait wriggle, and various mishaps begin piling up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka in her costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The non‑waterproof suit causes Sayaka to be electrocuted by its built‑in fan, but her Doppel activates and saves her. The Doppel drags Yachiyo into the water, and Yachiyo begins water‑skiing using her fishing rod while being pulled around.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura manages to fish up the Doppel and wins the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other&#039;s backs. Homura happily agrees, ending the day on a warm note.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Homura confronts her Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying summer and relying on Madoka’s kindness. The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurads&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura visit a seaside villa on the outskirts of Kamihama. They meet Felicia and her friends briefly. After parting ways, they decide to visit an aquarium. They participate in an accessory-making workshop using star sand. Inside the aquarium, they meet Ashley, an exchange student from the United States, and Riko. Ashley recognizes them as Magical Girls from Mitakihara because she encountered their copies in Endless Mirrors. They chat and learn Ashley is making videos about kawaii things in Japan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Waverider)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After parting ways with Ashley and Riko, Sayaka wants to visit a CD store. She hopes to find rare CDs for Kyosuke. At the store, she reaches for the same CD as a woman. They discover they both use notepads to track CDs. The woman is Takamine&#039;s wife—Takamine was a violinist who passed away. She collects his recordings to show her daughter. They exchange contact information. Sayaka mentions the upcoming flea market.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Sayaka, Madoka, Homura, Mami, Kyoko, and Nagisa visit the flea market together. They meet Ashley and Riko again. They split into groups. Sayaka and Kyoko go together. They eat lunch and shaved ice. Ashley records their conversation. Madoka and Homura leave early for Witch patrol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka&#039;s group meets Takamine&#039;s wife and daughter. A strong wind blows the daughter&#039;s hat into the ocean. Sayaka and Kyoko transform into swimsuits and ride a surfboard to retrieve it, using Nagisa&#039;s floaty as a distraction. The hat is recovered. Takamine&#039;s wife realizes she lost her notepad. Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while waiting, Nagisa and Riko play with water guns. Sayaka&#039;s group relaxes on the beach. Madoka and Homura find Sayaka&#039;s copy in Mirrors. The copy lures them into a trap, but they manage to get the CD list from her and escape. They send it to Sayaka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Takamine&#039;s wife identifies the CDs she was looking for. Sayaka buys a souvenir for Kyosuke. They enjoy the rest of the day at the beach.

* Mami, Homura, Madoka, and Sayaka fight a Witch. They rescue a taxi driver who was captured. He is confused but fine. They help him find his car. Afterward, Homura feels bad for failing to finish off the Witch. Mami suggests they have a review meeting at her place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring. They plan for future fights: Sayaka will handle Familiars, Madoka and Homura will immobilize the Witch, and Mami will finish it off. Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the team encounters a paramedic and a girl under a Witch&#039;s influence. They enter the Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. The paramedic wakes up and thanks them and the team slips away quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of school after summer vacation, Mami calls Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura to the roof. Kyoko and Nagisa fought a powerful Witch and retreated.

Mami will finish it off with her new firework attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The team rushes to school but is late.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kyoko invites Homura, Mami, Sayaka, and Madoka to the beach using tickets Mitama gave her after another accidental transformation into her magical swimsuit. The group swims, then Kyoko dominates the buffet. They discover a cliff diving spot, where Sayaka, Mami, and Kyoko take turns jumping while Madoka and Homura watch. They agree to return the day after next, since Madoka is busy the following day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kyoko asks Mitama to let her keep the swimsuit form for the summer, then heads to the beach alone. There she finds Ui Tamaki practicing swimming by herself, desperate to learn by the next day so she can join her family cliff diving. Kyoko watches over her, and later Sayaka arrives to help. Ui improves, but a rip current nearly sweeps her away; Kyoko rescues her. Moved by Ui’s determination, Kyoko keeps training her until sunset, and Ui finally masters swimming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully. Later, Kyoko visits Mitama to revert her outfit, explaining she wants to learn swimming properly rather than relying on magic. She trades a Grief Seed for money to buy ramune as payment for a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Eternal Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;

===Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Momoko Togame (Sanctified)#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi meet again. Mitama shares her realization: her grief has ended. She now wants to make amends and carve a new future for Kamihama. They discuss ideas for the student conference. Kanagi suggests a sports festival. Mitama suggests a festival with food stalls. They joke about romance and love interests. Mitama feels lighter and ready to move forward. She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at the Wings of Magius, Alina asks Nemu to create a rumor for her. She will let it grow, then take it into herself and use it to achieve her greatest goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Touka and Nemu separately sneak to Ui’s room to leave apology notes. They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They first visit Mitama’s shop, where they meet Maria and Konomi. Mikage hands out sweets, crediting Lavi’s teaching, and Mitama permits them to visit the Mikazuki girls after receiving a cake. At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* In the real world, Tsuruno gives gelato to Ui and Felicia. Ui is absorbed in playing a game called &amp;quot;Little Vacation&amp;quot; on Tsuruno&#039;s phone.

*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They leave, having failed to deliver smiles for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Town of Miraculous ☆ Prestidigitations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the next town. They meet Mitama, a magician performing tricks, and twins Rion and Hotori. Mitama attempts to teleport Hotori but accidentally duplicates her. There are now two Hotoris. Tsuruno and Felicia try to help. The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win. The duplicates are left behind. The single Tsuruno who lost is left alone without Reindeer-san #2 or the Okamochi Box. She decides to continue traveling anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; The three Tsurunos reunite and discuss the hints from the Okamochi Box. They realize &amp;quot;three heads are better than one&amp;quot; refers to them working together to solve the Maze Town puzzle. They also realize the key in Maze Town was a &amp;quot;smile&amp;quot;—something Ren had lost along the way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game. Game Tsuruno is surprised, saying the actual people probably do not play the game anymore.

===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents. Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia return home and ask to hear the full story, so Yachiyo retrieves the scarf from the time capsule where she had hidden it years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Check on the days again to make sure how many days pass. It&#039;s possible it&#039;s all just one day&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami finds herself in a strange white fog, speaking with two other versions of herself. Holy Mami claims she has learned the truth about magical girls from Alina Gray and Touka Satomi and has found a way to save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami has tea with Touka and Alina at a house rented for her by Touka. Mami explains she has not returned to Mitakihara because her priority is releasing magical girls. Touka and Alina offer to lecture her on what she needs to study. Alina grows disturbingly excited discussing van Gogh&#039;s Sunflowers, and Touka lectures at length on mathematics until Alina interrupts. Mami reassures them she will ask for help when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina receives a call from the Amane sisters requesting help with a Witch. Touka asks Mami to assist, explaining she has a lecture to give at noon to recruit skilled magical girls. Mami agrees, reflecting that releasing magical girls requires Grief Seeds, protecting Rumors, and raising Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane waiting for her. They explain the Witch has moved and the Black Feathers are monitoring it. A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren plan for their friends’ Christmas party a week away and promise to spend Christmas Eve together. While looking at options in a magazine, they cannot decide on a place. Ren buys the magazine to think it over, privately hoping to choose somewhere that will make Rika happy, though she doubts whether she truly belongs beside her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ren visits Emiri’s consultation room but finds only Akira and Ria Ami. She explains her dilemma, and Ria takes her around town to evaluate possible locations. They rule out a restaurant, an amusement park, and a romantic cafe, eventually settling on the Minagi Aquarium. Ria is surprised to learn Ren is planning an outing with Rika, not a boyfriend, but Ren leaves feeling confident in her choice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Christmas Eve, Rika attends a party with her school friends. When she mentions she will spend Christmas Eve at the aquarium with a friend, her friends press to join, but Rika refuses. She advises them not to look for boyfriends just to avoid being alone. Later, while walking with her friends, Rika spots Ren chasing after Aimi Eri. She follows and finds Ren comforting Aimi over a misunderstanding involving a boy; the situation resolves without trouble.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Ren waits for Rika, who messages that she overslept with a fever. Ren worries Rika became sick chasing after her the day before. Before she can reply, Aimi finds her, and they go shopping together. Aimi encourages Ren to visit Rika instead of staying apart. Ren goes to Rika’s house, knocks on her window, and insists they spend Christmas together there so Rika can rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They exchange gifts: Ren gives Rika scented candles, having noticed Rika’s interest from a sticky note, and Rika gives Ren a glass candlestick. Rika hopes they can visit the aquarium another time, and Ren leaves happy to have shared Christmas with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, assimilate them if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumor Tsuruno begins designing the park, adding a merry-go-round, roller coaster, spa, shops, and a cafe. The mascots warn that once the park is complete, she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world. Rumor Tsuruno claims no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she imagines comfort foods with hot pot as the main star, she is reminded of Mikazuki Villa. She brushes it off and completes the park. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Uwasa Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana looks at a Mr. Purrs-a-lot picture book and feels down. Ui notices and asks what is wrong. Sana admits she wants to become a picture book author to help people who are suffering like she once was. She has many ideas but does not know how to write them. Ui encourages her.

===Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 1 (Flashback/Reflection)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi wakes from a nap and remembers the dream she had when fused with the Kimochi. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words that helped her realize she had not truly given up. Iroha told her that those who have given up do not fight, and that Lavi came to Kamihama because she still wanted to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro (Kimochi)#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects on the hope she once held—a daydream of a peaceful life where magical girls are understood. In that dream, she helped her mother, tended fields with her grandfather, watched Urara&#039;s street performances, and attended exhibitions with Shirogane. She encountered other magical girls: Asahi, Haitani, Kuroda, Urara, and Alexandra. They fought witches together and enjoyed everyday moments. Lavi realized she had locked away this hope because remembering it was painful. But now, through her connection with Iroha and her time with Nayuta, she has begun to see the future again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They encounter many acquaintances: Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and Mikazuki Villa. Due to a scheduling mistake, everyone arrives at the same inn on the same day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** There is not enough premium beef for dinner. The groups compete in hot spring table tennis, karaoke, and pillow fights to decide who gets the meat. Yuna cheats in table tennis and is disqualified. The karaoke machine is outdated. The pillow fight becomes chaotic. Asahi saves the day with gibier meat. Everyone shares the meal and enjoys the evening together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects that this bustling, noisy future is unlike her usual self, but she realizes she has been yearning for it deep down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 3 (Reality/Current Time)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi teaches Nayuta cooking. They discuss their futures: Nayuta wants to study magical girls at a university different from her father&#039;s. Lavi wants to help at her family&#039;s inn while spreading magical girl activities. They plan a trip with Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Upon arriving at Cradle of the Earth in Yukuni, they encounter Mikazuki Villa, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and the Tokime Clan—just as in Lavi&#039;s dream. There is again not enough meat for dinner. Lavi is overwhelmed but also excited. She realizes that even if the past cannot be undone, they can move forward together and create a bright future. She announces they will compete over the meat and create a new future with all of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends.

They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it.

She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One summer morning, Mitama is at her shop and she has set up a small café corner called Hot☆Corner. The cat, Doyle, is especially attached to her lately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery|The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day|Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Rumored Temp Counselor===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - A Taste of Hospitality|A Taste of Hospitality]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko and Ashley help Mitama film a video about her Coordinator services, whre she explains that she adjusts Soul Gems to draw out hidden potential, that she sees memories during adjustments but keeps them confidential, and that she also sells items for Magical Girls. As payment for the video, Riko gives Mitama an origami dog (Mameji) and Ashley gives her blue candy from her home, both of which Mitama puts in a box.&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, Mitama receives many gifts from Magical Girls, including Kokoro, Reira, Mito, Felicia, Ayame, Kako, Yachiyo, Karin, Himika, Rika and Emiri, the last of whom says that when people share their favorite things, it means they want to share what they love with Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama hums happily, which Momoko and Kanagi notice and feel a bad omen. Mitama announces that she wants to share what she loves with everyone and that she plans a party with food that she will cook. She asks Momoko and Kanagi to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;

* One winter’s day before Christmas, Rika and Ren go shopping together. The town has no Christmas decorations and people seem depressed. They hear a distressed voice and find Mitama, wearing a Santa&#039;s beard and hat, and she introduces herself as a Christmas Spirit. Mitama says her job is to make everyone happy, but the task is too big. She gives Rika and Ren some of her magic, explaining that the magic requires them to be perfectly attuned to each other, and then she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, a swallow Familiar appears, claiming to be Mitama’s pupil and Rika names him Chirpie. Chirpie explains that Mitama saved him when he fell from his nest and gave him magic. He can sense cowardly hearts lacking courage and Rika and Ren must drive out ten cowardly hearts to make the town happy. Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chirpie leads them to Felicia and Sana, who had accidentally smashed a cake and are now arguing about who should apologize to Yachiyo. Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines|Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 13th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mitama is away from her shop, but Tsuruno is there, using the kitchen to make chocolate bonbons with a friend. She plans to surprise everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 14th:&#039;&#039;&#039; On Valentine&#039;s Day, Tsuruno gives beautifully wrapped chocolates to Iroha, Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana and Ui at Mikazuki Villa. Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rise of the Waning Moon===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Rise of the Waning Moon|Rise of the Waning Moon]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day during lunch break, Kanagi goes to Himika’s classroom, telling her she just wanted to see her face, which Himika finds strange.&lt;br /&gt;
** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Finding Our Formula===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Finding Our Formula|Finding Our Formula]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Hinano and Emiri attend a chemistry event. Hinano is excited to see a chemist who reminds her of the woman she idolized as a child—a tall, long-legged lady who taught fun chemistry experiments. Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic|Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls finish dinner. Tsuruno and Felicia complain about going to the same public pool every summer. Yachiyo receives a phone call from a distant relative who runs a hotel. The relative needs help cleaning the hotel pool because the usual staff are sick. Yachiyo hesitates due to her modeling schedule. The girls offer to help. Yachiyo calls back and confirms they will come.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group arrives at the hotel and Yachiyo&#039;s relative, an older woman, greets them warmly. She says she used to hang out with Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river. Tsuruno and Felicia compete to see who can clean faster, inventing names for their techniques. Yachiyo scolds them for being inefficient. They eventually work together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha slips and falls but is not hurt. Felicia sprays Yachiyo with the hose and Yachiyo chases her. After a few hours, they finish cleaning. The relative rewards them with fluffy shaved ice.&lt;br /&gt;
** The pool is now clean and filled with water. The girls swim and play. Tsuruno and Felicia bring water guns and spray Yachiyo. Yachiyo chases them and gets out of the pool to walk upstream, eventually catching them. They all have fun.&lt;br /&gt;
** As they leave, the relative thanks them but reveals the pool may not open after all due to unforeseen issues. Everyone is shocked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

On the evening after pool cleaning (same day)&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic|Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic]]&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls are about to leave when the relative reveals the pool may not open because support staff from the southern islands are delayed by a typhoon. Tsuruno volunteers the group to help until the staff arrives. Yachiyo worries they might cause trouble, but Iroha, Ui, and Sana want to try. They agree to help. Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the next day, the group arrives at the pool for opening day. Yachiyo handles reception. The ticket scanner malfunctions and a line forms. Mitama appears—she had plans with Iroha that were canceled. She offers to help and fixes the scanner by hitting it. The staff member returns and takes over.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama notices Yachiyo has something on her mind and suggests she talk to someone she trusts. Iroha later asks Yachiyo to help with a crowded lunch area. Ui is taking orders with Sana&#039;s invisible help making drinks.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral. Yachiyo admits she was worried about everyone but sees they are doing fine. Iroha tells Yachiyo it is okay to worry because she cares, and they can solve problems together. Iroha notices Yachiyo has been down and offers to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
** A foam machine malfunctions, spewing foam everywhere. A guest slips and falls. The group splits up to clean the foam and help guests. Mitama fixes the machine with a whack. The support staff arrives. The girls finally have time to enjoy the pool.&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models. She does not know what to post and is shy about taking selfies. Iroha suggests posting photos of herself and takes pictures of Yachiyo on a float with the sunset. Yachiyo is embarrassed but agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Tsuruno want a turn on the float. Everyone climbs on, and Mitama takes a group photo just as they all fall into the water. Iroha loves the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the pool photos are popular online. Yachiyo&#039;s manager says going to the pool was a good move. Yachiyo thanks Iroha and says she might take her up on being her photographer again. She sends the group photo to everyone. Iroha says the photo may not be &amp;quot;social media-worthy&amp;quot; but it captures who they are. They agree to go back to the pool again—summer is just getting started.&lt;br /&gt;

* Tsukuyo Amane reflects on her life. She and her sister must have realized they were doing something wrong, but to save each other, it was the only hope they had. She will seek a different path for them to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo dreams of living with her twin sister Tsukasa. She daydreams about leaving home and living with her beloved sister.

After school, she meets Tsukasa at the shrine. They both studied the same story and discuss planning for when they live together. Tsukuyo researches the costs of a two-person household and is shocked by how expensive it is.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo falls asleep while daydreaming about living with Tsukasa. Her grandmother finds her fantasy budget notebook and accuses her of planning to run away with a boy. Her training hours are increased, and her smartphone is confiscated. Tsukuyo is unable to contact Tsukasa. She runs away and ends up at the shrine, but Tsukasa is at school.&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback (Before Magical Girl). Tsukuyo is overworked with club activities and training. She is exhausted and collapses. She wakes up in the hospital with her sister beside her. Tsukuyo remembers how she first met Tsukasa. She was playing her flute at the shrine when she saw a girl who looked just like her. They discovered they were twins, separated at birth. They became close and talked openly with each other for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo too formal and uptight, while Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukuyo was devastated. She received a harsh message from her grandmother, punishing her for being absent without permission. She broke down crying, saying she was not a puppet for her grandmother to order around.&lt;br /&gt;
*On another day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa both collapse and wake up in the hospital. The pediatrician confirms they are twins. They reconcile and make a wish to Kyubey to never again hate each other. They become Magical Girls. They meet at the shrine and agree to leave home together once they graduate high school. Their wishes have come true, but their environments have not changed. Messages from their families indicate misunderstandings have been cleared, and they decide to part for the day.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day after the reconciliation, Tsukuyo returns home, but life becomes stricter. She continues her oppressive training. Mifuyu contacts her about something important regarding Magical Girls. Tsukuyo meets Mifuyu and learns that Magical Girls turn into Witches. She is horrified that she and Tsukasa will become Witches. She produces a Doppel. Mifuyu explains that the Wings of the Magius are working to save Magical Girls and asks for Tsukuyo&#039;s help. Tsukuyo agrees to discuss it with Tsukasa.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Tsukasa tells Tsukuyo she does not know the details of how the Magius intend to save them. She shares the full ending of the story they studied—the couple takes their own lives because they fear their love will fade. Tsukasa suggests they do the same. Tsukuyo is horrified but realizes they have no other way out.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night they decide to die, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa meet at the shrine. They decide to destroy their Soul Gems together. They hold hands and count to three. Mifuyu arrives in time to stop them. She begs them to live and fight for their freedom together. She says the Wings of the Magius may be small, but they will grow. Tsukasa and Tsukuyo agree to join the Wings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Return to the present) Tsukuyo reflects on how much has happened. She knows she must always be there to support Tsukasa, who can be unpredictable. She dreams of their future together—a happy ending where they live together, free from family, regional disputes, and Magical Girls. She knows it may be a long way off, but as long as she has Tsukasa, she believes they will get their happy ending.&lt;br /&gt;

Tsukasa will handle housework and cooking. She daydreams about their future life together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Tsukasa refuses and runs away. She ends up at the shrine, but Tsukuyo is at school. She remembers how she first met Tsukuyo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before Magical Girl). Tsukasa is overworked with school, chores, and finances for the workshop. She is exhausted and collapses. She wakes up in the hospital with her sister beside her. Tsukasa remembers how she first met Tsukuyo. She was playing her flute at the shrine when a stranger warned her about Witches. She then saw a girl who looked just like her. They discovered they were twins, separated at birth. They became close and talked about their struggles.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo stuck-up and obsessed with appearances. Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized and loud. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukasa&#039;s resentment toward her family grew. She fell into a Witch&#039;s snare but was saved by the stranger from before.&lt;br /&gt;

* On the night of the suicide pact, Tsukasa runs to the shrine. She has nowhere to run. Her sister is crying before her. Tsukasa produced a Doppel. They return to Mifuyu for more information. Kanagi warns Tsukasa that the Magius could be lying. Tsukasa decides to end their story by destroying their Soul Gems. She and Tsukuyo hold hands and count to three. Mifuyu arrives in time to stop them. She begs them to live and fight for their freedom together. Tsukasa and Tsukuyo agree to join the Wings of the Magius.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa returns home. Her father apologizes for being too harsh. Her marriage interview is postponed until after graduation, and life returns to normal. Tsukasa dreams of her future with Tsukuyo—a happy ending where they can laugh together, free from family, the east-west conflict, and Magical Girls. She knows it is still a long way off, but as long as she has Tsukuyo, she will be okay.&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Nanaka meets with Konoha&#039;s team to discuss territorial disputes. Hazuki wants to maintain an agreement that all participants share Grief Seeds equally. Nanaka agrees but only to avoid unnecessary conflict. She sees Hazuki&#039;s personal motives and decides to do her a favor. After the meeting, Nanaka explains to her team that she wanted to observe everyone&#039;s opinions for future use. She reflects on her past—her father fell ill, his pupils took over the school, and the Tokiwa family was left in the dust. On his deathbed, her father asked her to reclaim the school. She wished for the power to evaluate who her enemies truly are. She discovered the true enemy was a Witch she named Locust. She formed a team to seek revenge.&lt;br /&gt;

Her team questions her decision, but she says they will see soon enough.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hazuki&#039;s team confronts Nanaka. They were forced to defeat the Boss Witch because of the &amp;quot;duty&amp;quot; clause. Hazuki says Nanaka played them. Nanaka admits she knew they could do it. Hazuki says they have scores to settle. Hazuki also mentions the Witch was strange, like it was being manipulated. Nanaka realizes the Locust is not just one Witch—the true enemy is its puppet master.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several months later (present day) Nanaka reflects that her Locust revenge story is over. The puppet master can no longer do harm. But something else is starting to creep from the shadows of Kamihama City. She will have to find out what comes next.&lt;br /&gt;

* Kako is 13 years old. Her parents run Natsume Books, a used bookstore. Books are a huge part of her life. One day, she sees Nanaka loitering by the mailbox, looking distressed. Nanaka drops a letter in the mailbox and runs off. She tells Kako to read the letter. Kako remembers the words &amp;quot;Kill her&amp;quot; and wonders why.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako recalls her past. Her family was not wealthy, but they were happy. Her father recommended books, and her mother helped her study. Then tragedy struck. A riot over land grabs broke out. Harassment of those who objected got worse. Discord grew within the community and even within their home. Her father was wound tight. Then their house was set on fire. Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
** She met a girl named &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; N told Kako who was responsible and what she needed to do to destroy them. Kako clung to her. She later learned N was manipulative and saw others as pawns. Kako hates N and wants revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found herself in a Labyrinth. Nanaka fought off Familiars but was overwhelmed. Kyubey offered Kako the chance to become a Magical Girl. Nanaka told Kako through telepathy to decide for herself what she wanted. Kako realized she hated feeling helpless. She wished to see her family smiling again and to get Natsume Books back. She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kako learned Nanaka faked her struggle to entrap her into making the wish. Nanaka had pulled this trick on others to use them as pawns. Kako could not forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako and Nanaka fought Witches together. Nanaka encouraged Kako and told her she was better suited to being a Magical Girl than Nanaka was. Kako wanted to get stronger. Nanaka wrote a letter confessing her deception and asking Kako to kill her. Kako made up her mind to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka. She returned it unopened, saying it seemed wrong to read something Nanaka only sent by accident. Nanaka smiled and said Kako was dazzling. She said she would try to tell Kako her feelings in person someday.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako thinks Nanaka overestimates her, but she is no longer as scared and helpless as she used to be. She is a Magical Girl who protects the city by Nanaka&#039;s side.&lt;br /&gt;

They go to the dojo where Asuka teaches. Asuka reveals she bumped into Momoko at a convenience store and may have switched bags again. Mitama tries to contact Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, but none of them answer. They fear the team may have encountered a strong Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha and Asuka search for Momoko&#039;s team. They enter a Labyrinth and find Nanaka&#039;s team struggling against a Witch. They help defeat it. Nanaka&#039;s team has not seen Momoko. Everyone fears the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to Mitama&#039;s shop and Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive unharmed. They had turned off their phones to watch a movie. Momoko reveals she left the bag at Blossom. Konoha goes to Blossom and retrieves her truffles. She also receives free flowers because today is a special anniversary.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha explains to Mitama that today is the anniversary of the day the three sisters left Azalea House and started living together. She wants to make it a special day for Ayame and Hazuki.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha returns home. She prepares a truffle dinner with Hazuki and Ayame. They cook together, sharing happiness as a family. Konoha asks them to always stick together. They promise to always be together, hands held tight, just the three of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hazuki Yusa&#039;s Heartphial Story: The Distance Between Us===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki Yusa reflects on her life. Azalea House was the place that taught her to smile again, the place that rescued her from the torment she covered up with a false grin. She was not going to lose it, no matter what it took.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A teacher asks Hazuki to deliver worksheets to Nanaka. Hazuki is reluctant because Konoha distrusts Nanaka after an incident where Nanaka&#039;s team tricked them into fighting a powerful Witch. Hazuki delivers the worksheets. Nanaka suggests they should share information without secrets. Hazuki agrees to try building trust, but she remains wary.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki arrives at the school camp. She is assigned to orienteering setup with Nanaka. They are paired together by random draw. They work through checkpoints. The map notes are outdated, and they get lost. It starts raining heavily.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the storm, the rope bridge collapses due to the rain. Hazuki and Nanaka cannot cross the river. They find an old shack for shelter. They huddle together for warmth. Hazuki shares her past: her parents died in an accident when she was young. She was shuffled between relatives until she ended up at Azalea House. She learned to hide her fear behind a smile. The director taught her to smile when her heart truly felt it. She met Konoha and Ayame there. They became family. They made wishes to protect Azalea House and left to live together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka listens quietly. She says she finally understands Hazuki&#039;s true self. Nanaka grows pale and cold. Hazuki worries she might collapse. Hazuki insists they huddle closer. Nanaka admits she is cold. They wait together.&lt;br /&gt;
** The rain stops. Akira and others find them at the shack. They are taken back to camp. The nurse checks them. Hazuki and Nanaka are cleared to stay. Nanaka is grateful for Hazuki&#039;s help. Hazuki teases Nanaka about being excited for pillow fights. Nanaka jokes back. They agree to enjoy the rest of camp together. Hazuki realizes she has seen a different side of Nanaka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ayame Mikuri&#039;s Heartphial Story: Runaway Adventure===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame Mikuri reflects on her life. Azalea House was a place that showed her real love. When she knew nothing about family, that place taught her warmth. She was not going to turn her back on it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame writes a letter to the Director, the late head of Azalea House. She explains that she, Konoha, and Hazuki are Magical Girls now. Konoha warns Ayame to stay away from Nanaka&#039;s team after a recent incident. Ayame agrees but secretly plans to meet up with Kako anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayame and Kako meet in secret. They are friends but cannot openly hang out because their teams do not get along. Ayame complains about the situation. Kako shows her a book about ocean adventures. Ayame becomes curious about whether the ocean boils when the sun sets. They decide to go to the beach together to find out.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame and Kako take a train and a bus toward the beach. Ayame is excited. Konoha calls and texts repeatedly, but Ayame ignores her. They get off the bus when it breaks down and take a detour. They discover a field of sunflowers. They share cup noodles together. Ayame turns off her phone. Kako also ignores Nanaka&#039;s messages to focus on their adventure. They finally reach the beach and watch the sunset together. Ayame still cannot tell if the ocean boils, but she is happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback - Azalea House) Ayame dreams of the Director. She remembers the day Azalea House was going to be torn down. The Director had already passed away. Konoha, Hazuki, and Ayame met Kyubey and decided to become Magical Girls. Ayame wished for Azalea House to stay open forever. Konoha wished to eliminate all threats to it. They decided on a third wish: to have everyone at Azalea House forget they were ever there. They left the orphanage and started living together. Ayame remembers Konoha&#039;s promise that they would always be together. She reflects on her conflict with Konoha over her friendship with Kako. She wishes the Director could tell her what to do.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame wakes up at Kako&#039;s relatives&#039; house. Konoha has arrived. She found Ayame by asking Nanaka to track Kako&#039;s location. Ayame refuses to go home, saying Konoha has been stifling her. She promises to tell Konoha where she is next time. Konoha apologizes. She did not realize how her words were making Ayame feel. She promises to talk things through with Hazuki and Ayame. Kako is relieved. Ayame treasures the memory of her adventure. She promises never to forget it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Masara Kagami&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Flame Kindled in the Vastness===&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara Kagami reflects on her life. After becoming a Magical Girl, not much felt dramatically different. But encounters and experiences since have changed her. She thinks her dull and pointless life has just gotten a little more colorful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara finds the world boring. She is good at swimming but lacks passion. Kyubey appears and offers her any wish. She wishes for a load of money and becomes a Magical Girl. She fights Witches, and the excitement fades quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara meets Kokoro Awane in a Labyrinth. Kokoro is uncomfortable with Masara&#039;s reckless fighting and tells her to protect herself more. Masara says she does not care if she dies. Kokoro says her family would care. Masara questions why Kokoro blames herself for her family&#039;s problems. Kokoro asks if they can stick together. Masara agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a Witch hunt, they&#039;re attacked by a Witch and Masara takes a hit to protect Kokoro. She gets a scar. She starts avoiding Kokoro because she does not understand her feelings. Mitama explains that Masara fears seeing Kokoro get hurt, so she avoids her to prevent that pain. Masara realizes she fears losing Kokoro, so they reconcile.&lt;br /&gt;
* The swim club announces the relay team. Masara is chosen but declines, saying she is not good at team sports. Koshino, who has always been second to Masara, is chosen as her replacement. Koshino vows to beat Masara&#039;s record.&lt;br /&gt;
* While Kokoro and Masara go on patrol, they see Koshino training alone after school hours. Koshino tells Masara she beat her personal record. Masara is puzzled by Koshino&#039;s passion.&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Masara passes Koshino training again. They start talking about her times regularly. Kokoro notes that Koshino will never catch up to Masara&#039;s times. Masara wonders what drives Koshino.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days before the competition, Koshino beats Masara&#039;s record once. The swim club captain praises her. Masara feels something but cannot identify it. She is not annoyed. She does not know what she feels.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day before the competition, Koshino has an accident and cannot compete. Masara agrees to take her place. She is surprised by her own motivation. Kokoro notices the change.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the competition, Masara swims well. Her team finishes second, but she was in the lead when passing the baton. Koshino comes to watch and thanks Masara for doing the race for her. Kokoro says Masara has changed. Masara decides she wants to keep swimming a while longer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika Ayano&#039;s Heartphial Story: Haunting Love, Haunting Mistake===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika Ayano reflects on her life. She does not want to feel like she became a Magical Girl for nothing. She got to see what dating is like and made loads of friends. But sins do not wash away so easily. That is the price you pay for a miracle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback, but the entirety seems like mostly a flashback) Kyubey offers Rika any wish in exchange for becoming a Magical Girl. Hinano warns her not to do it, but Rika ignores the advice. She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Riko Chiaki&#039;s Heartphial Story: Worked Out with a Woof===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki reflects on her life. Even though her mom and dad were hardly home because of work, she never felt lonely as long as Miss K was around. She cared about her so much that she just wanted to help her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback) Riko helps out at her parents&#039; bento store. She is close with Miss K, the daughter of the hardware store owner next door. Miss K has always been like a big sister to her. Miss K cries to Riko that her father opposes her marriage because he does not want her to move far away. Riko wishes to Kyubey for Miss K&#039;s marriage to be accepted. She becomes a Magical Girl. Miss K gets married and moves away. Riko misses her but does not regret her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Riko goes filming with Ashley. She tells Ashley about Miss K. She explains that Miss K&#039;s father never fully accepted the marriage, and they have not made up. Riko receives a message from Miss K saying she was in the hospital because she was pregnant. She invites Riko to visit her new house. Riko goes and meets the baby. Miss K asks Riko to be friends with her child. Riko becomes like a big sister to the baby. She feels happy that her wish came true but is sad Miss K and her father never reconciled.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko walks Mameji and sees Miss K&#039;s father standing outside the hardware store, looking sad. She wonders what is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley advises Riko to ask Miss K directly if she wants to make up with her father. Riko texts Miss K and asks to meet. Miss K replies that she will come to Riko&#039;s town instead. Riko is excited.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Miss K visits Riko. They talk about her father. Miss K says she wants to make up with him but does not know how. Riko suggests inviting him to meet the baby, giving him a present, or going on a family trip. Miss K doubts any of it will work. They walk to Riko&#039;s store together. They encounter Miss K&#039;s father outside. Riko admits she asked Miss K to come so they could patch things up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Miss K&#039;s father reveals he brought a herbarium to Riko&#039;s store. It was originally meant as a gift for his grandchild, but he could not bring himself to deliver it. Riko realizes Mameji had been guiding her this whole time. Earlier, Mameji had barked at the cake that turned out to be from Miss K&#039;s father. Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky. She realizes she is dying, having protected Yachiyo. She remembers how everyone was fighting for dear life. She wished she were stronger to help them. She is sorry for not being stronger. She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;

** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;

She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;

** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo finds an old photo album while cleaning. She shows it to Iroha, Tsuruno, Sana, Felicia, and Ui. The photos are from seven years ago, when Mikazuki Villa was a boarding house. Iroha notices a girl standing next to Yachiyo and her grandmother—it is Mifuyu with long hair. Yachiyo explains she knew Mifuyu back then and they fought Witches together. Tsuruno is shocked and Yachiyo says they did not leave a good first impression on each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seven Years Ago&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo fights her first Witch. She is scared but determined. Inside the barrier, she finds another Magical Girl crying. The girl is too frightened to fight. Yachiyo tries to cooperate, but the girl runs away. Yachiyo defeats the Witch alone. Afterward, she confronts the crying girl and tells her that if she cannot fight, she should quit. The girl begs Yachiyo not to leave her alone. Yachiyo is harsh but later realizes she is also scared. Both girls cry alone, afraid of being Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo is the leader of her model unit. The other members are starting to trust her. One member, Yellow, still does not approve of Yachiyo as leader. Yachiyo continues working hard. After her lesson, she defeats a Familiar. She encounters Mifuyu again. Mifuyu says she felt the Familiar&#039;s presence but was too scared to enter the barrier. Yachiyo is harsh again, but Mifuyu says she wants to talk properly. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives and invites Mifuyu to a candy store. Mifuyu has never been to one before. She is amazed by the syrup. The grandmother invites her to visit Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s unit has a successful photoshoot. She feels happy. Later, she senses a powerful Witch and enters the barrier. Two other Magical Girls are already fighting it. Yachiyo asks to join them, but they attack her. They say the Witch is their prey and threaten her. Mifuyu appears and says they should cooperate. The other girls ignore her and lure the Witch toward Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Mifuyu protects Yachiyo and gets injured. They escape together and rest in a park. Yachiyo shares her grief seed with Mifuyu. They introduce themselves. Yachiyo learns Mifuyu comes from a strict family with nine lessons. Mifuyu became a Magical Girl to dream freely. They bond over their shared struggles. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to visit again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu visits Mikazuki Villa. She brings sweets. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother shows the album and the magazine featuring Yachiyo&#039;s unit. The older boarders ask Mifuyu for a cute nickname for Yachiyo. Mifuyu suggests &amp;quot;Yacchan.&amp;quot; Yachiyo likes it. That night, a Witch appears near the station. They fight together and save a boarder from Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo suggests they team up because they are both weak and will become stronger together. Mifuyu agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Yachiyo and Mifuyu continue patrolling. Mifuyu&#039;s parents increase her lessons because they suspect she is sneaking out to play. Yachiyo feels guilty. They decide to reduce patrols for the next week.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s manager tells her the unit will be disbanded at the end of the month. Yachiyo is devastated. Her wish to keep the unit alive was meaningless. She meets Mifuyu at the candy store. Mifuyu has been scolded and had her phone taken away. She says she cannot endure her life anymore. Yachiyo blames herself for dragging Mifuyu around. A Witch appears. They fight it, but two other Magical Girls show up and attack them. The Witch kills one of them. Yachiyo and Mifuyu fight the Witch together and defeat it. The surviving Magical Girl takes the grief seed and leaves. Yachiyo and Mifuyu are broken. They ask Kyubey to let them quit, but he refuses.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo finds a grief seed left behind by the surviving Magical Girl. She realizes she saved the girl&#039;s life. Mifuyu says that even though their wishes were meaningless, they are still alive and can protect what is important. Yachiyo recalls her grandmother&#039;s words about leaving feelings behind through letters. She decides she and Mifuyu should exchange letters to leave their feelings behind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day at Mikazuki Villa&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu continue looking through the photo album. Mifuyu says the letters were their hope and their weakness. She suggests they stop exchanging letters because they are now seniors who must be strong. Yachiyo refuses. She says the letters keep her tied to reality and give her hope. Mifuyu agrees to continue. They find an old letter Yachiyo wrote. Yachiyo says she will write this year&#039;s letter. Mifuyu promises to write one too. They vow to exchange letters forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls in Kush, who transforms into a vampire and she wins the contest. Natsuki takes second place and Karin takes third place. A commemorative photo is taken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin completes her manga, &amp;quot;The Pumpkin King and the Ghost Servant.&amp;quot; She shows it to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede who praise it, giving it 100 points or more. Kaede appreciates the happy ending. Karin is moved by Kaede&#039;s approval. Manaka arrives with pumpkin pie for a taste test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the Sakae Halloween Festa, Karin arrives at the festival in her Pumpkin King costume. Alina is also present, already dressed as the ghost servant from Karin&#039;s manga. Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head of the executive committee thanks Karin for recommending Alina as the face of the event. Karin reflects on her hope that Alina will one day atone for her sins and reach a happy ending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka-senpai&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Day in the Life of Madoka-senpai===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It looks like you&#039;re being a bit too ambitious. I suggest limiting the content on the Timelines page to &#039;&#039;only&#039;&#039; the main arc – no event stories (unless they&#039;re super important to the main plot, maaaybe?), no Magical Girl stories, no costume stories, not even Another Story (maaaybe the briefest mention if relevant to the main arc). I&#039;m not sure if Mirror Story is important enough to go on that page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That doesn&#039;t mean the other content shouldn&#039;t be summarized though – feel free to finish what I started on the [[Magia Record Timeline]] page and also slot in all the other content there. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 03:41, 28 January 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

: Oh god, thank you. I was scared of having to mention all of them. If anything, I think I&#039;ll mention where the smaller events that don&#039;t matter take place. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:27, 28 January 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

== [[Timelines]] ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don&#039;t want to stomp on all your hard work, but I think the level of detail on that page is getting waaay past what it really needs to be.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To be clear, I think it&#039;s good to have this level of detail, but not on this page – there could be dedicated pages for each Magia Record arc, for example (actually, those pages [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1|already]] [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2|exist]] but have only the list of chapters – that could be expanded).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The level of detail for main timelines 1 and 2 seems about right to me. Some could have more detail, but not &#039;&#039;too&#039;&#039; much more. In particular, the Magia Record section is probably at least 10 times larger than it needs to be. There should probably be no more than a sentence or two for each chapter or event, maybe up to around 10 sentences if it&#039;s especially complicated (like Arc 1 Chapter 10), with a link to the full chapter summary on another page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was also a whole section that doesn&#039;t belong at all, which I deleted with the intent of moving it where it belongs (to [[Timeline (Historical)]]), but I only got through the first two sections. Just to make things easy in case you want to finish migrating it to the historical page, I&#039;ve pasted the whole section below (though you could always retrieve it from the page history). (Note: There &#039;&#039;could&#039;&#039; still be a Pre-Arc 1 section on [[Timelines]], but it would cover backstory, like the &amp;quot;N years ago&amp;quot; sections on [[Magia Record Timeline]] squashed down into an even smaller space.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, my main point is that this should page should serve as firstly a brief summary, an overview of the franchise, and secondly as a view of how all the little pieces (events, Magical Girl stories, backstory details, whatever you think is important enough) fit together.&lt;br /&gt;

*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 1, July of 31 BCE:&#039;&#039;&#039; The Tokime Tribe travels to ancient Egypt during Cleopatra VII&#039;s reign to investigate her potential connection to magical girls. Upon arrival in Alexandria, they detect a mysterious aura around Cleopatra and decide to infiltrate her palace. They encounter Ebony, a magical girl loyal to Cleopatra, but Shizuka convinces her to temporarily cease hostilities. While gathering information on the Met Clan, the group falls into a trap set by Cleopatra’s forces. A captured soldier reveals that the Met Clan uses a &amp;quot;Dreaming Drug&amp;quot; to manipulate their soldiers. As tensions intensify between Rome and Egypt, they decide to gather information outside of Alexandria.&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;September 2nd of 31 BCE:&#039;&#039;&#039; The Battle of Actium begins, with Cleopatra’s forces initially holding their ground but eventually retreating as Octavius gains the upper hand. In Alexandria, Cleopatra sends her son Caesarion away for safety while attempting to negotiate peace with Octavius. With Antonius growing furious over her perceived betrayal, Cleopatra prepares for his arrival.&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;August 1st of 30 BCE:&#039;&#039;&#039; Antonius attempts suicide after receiving false news of Cleopatra&#039;s death, delivered by Ebony. Following his death, the Tokime girls exploit the weakened palace security and Nemu identifies Ebony as the key magical girl tied to their mission. She immobilizes them using her powers and Shizuka tries to reason with her.&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 2:&#039;&#039;&#039; With assistance from Asahi, who&#039;d been hiding until now, they neutralize Ebony. They explain that the Met Clan recruits young girls to contract with Kyubey, granting them powers to protect Egypt’s rulers. Shizuka shares her own experiences as a magical girl and persuades Ebony to break free from her role in the clan. After settling matters with Cleopatra, Ebony goes to the Met Clan Elder to receive freedom. He agrees, but tasks her with delivering a final message to the queen.&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;August 29th of 30 BCE:&#039;&#039;&#039; As Cleopatra&#039;s been imprisoned, the group infiltrates the guarded facility where she&#039;s kept. They find her face deteriorating due to the fading effects of magic granted by the past sacrificed girls. An assassin from the Met Clan, disguised as a soldier, kills Cleopatra by shooting darts into her neck. Ebony almost transforms into a witch but the other girls save her. After Nemu confirms that history remains intact due to the wound resembling a snake bite, they set off to confront the Elder. He reveals he orchestrated Cleopatra’s death to turn Ebony into a witch to use against Rome. When they find out the Elder is under a witch&#039;s influence, he commits suicide and they defeat the witch, 10&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-1&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;. With the Soul Dome now filled, they bid farewell to Ebony and encourage her to embrace her newfound independence before returning to their own time.&lt;br /&gt;

** &#039;&#039;&#039;History A:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;Early 77 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; A destructive rainstorm interrupts a play starring the popular actor, Master Paris.&lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;Early 77 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; The influential families of Pompeii—Cornelia’s, Junia’s, and Marius’—hold a banquet to discuss potential alliances and marriages.&lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;Summer of 77 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; A chariot race occurs, which Hilarus the Left-Handed wins. Junia and Marius watch the race together.&lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;Summer of 78 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; After the frequent earthquakes of recent, the city council focuses on rebuilding. Marius announces his marriage to Junia has been approved. Likely around this time, Junia meets a Vestal Maiden of Light and Kyubey, or Master Cubius, who prompts her to become a magical girl. Due to her love for Marius, she refuses.&lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;October of 79 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; Frequent earthquakes and dried water supplies occur, such as the Aqua Augusta.&lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;October 24, 79 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; Vesuvius erupts, killing most of the population, including Emperor Vespasian and Plinius in Stabiae without organizing a rescue effort. Pompeii is destroyed, and Cornelia and Marius&#039; families die. Junia makes a contract with Kyubey to be reborn as a different person in the past, and thus creates History B.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;History B:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;76 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; Junia arrives back three years in time from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. She tests out her power and poses as her new persona, Amaryllis. She tells the other servants that she&#039;s Lady Junia&#039;s new handmaiden, which the others believe without question, as her power not only allows her to change her appearance, but also makes others not question inconsistencies based on her identity. She befriends Cornelia as Amaryllis and tells her that she is from Greece and that she shares a tutor with Junia. She convinces Cornelia to help her by predicting a very destructive rainstorm in the midst of a play starring a popular actor, Master Paris.&lt;br /&gt;

**** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 1, 79 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; Himena, Shigure, San, Hagumu, Mitsune, and Miyuri travel back to Pompeii in 79 CE. Thanks to the power of the Rumors, Mitsune has now recovered her ability to walk. Nemu tells them about Amaryllis, a magical girl who altered history. They then find themselves in an unstable space, where time and reality are unstable, and encounter a copy of [[10^−43#10−7|10&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-7&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;]]. Nemu explains that their interference in an already altered timeline (79 CE) may have caused a time paradox, and that they are in a &amp;quot;Time Paradox Zone,&amp;quot; where history is being rewritten. San, Hagumu and Mitsune are caught up in the paradox and separated from the rest of the group. Due to having Nemu&#039;s book, Himena is attuned to this time period, so she dreams of Junia and Cornelia’s childhood, where their father announces one will marry Marius. &lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;Early 77 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; Himena, Shigure, Miyuri and Nemu wake up in Pompeii, two years before the eruption. Cornelia helps them hide and introduces them to Amaryllis, the magical girl who has been warning people about the eruption. Nemu explains two histories: History A, where Pompeii is destroyed, and History B, where Amaryllis succeeded and most people evacuated. Amaryllis’ plan involves Cornelia marrying Marius to gain political influence. The group, now posing as Cornelia’s handmaidens, prepares to attend a banquet at Marius’ villa. Amaryllis explains that the banquet is a critical event where the three influential families—Cornelia’s, Junia’s, and Marius’—will discuss future alliances, including potential marriages. Cornelia is torn between her feelings for Marius and her sister Junia’s happiness. The group encounters and defeats a witch, rescuing Cornelia. They later meet Junia, who is kind and thoughtful, before being taken away by a paradox.&lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;Summer of 77 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; They reappear later in the year. Amaryllis reveals to them that magical girls in the time period in Ancient Rome were known as Vestal Maidens of Light, which was likely the source of Rome&#039;s long-lasting success. Amaryllis and Cornelia are working to spread a prophecy about the impending eruption of Mount Vesuvius through the Cult of Isis, a powerful religious group in Pompeii. Amaryllis uses her metamorphosis magic to disguise herself as a member and deliver the prophecy, claiming it comes from divine sources. They plan to use the upcoming chariot race as proof of their prophetic knowledge, predicting Hilarus the Left-Handed will win. The chariot race coincides with Cornelia’s birthday, and Amaryllis has arranged for Cornelia and Marius to watch the race together, while Junia will celebrate separately. The group encounters a barrier again, this time only a familiar. Amaryllis and Cornelia successfully gain the cooperation of the Cult of Isis by proving the accuracy of their prophecy about Hilarus the Left-Handed’s victory in the chariot race. The priestess of Isis is convinced by the detailed predictions Amaryllis provides, including future events like the death of Emperor Vespasian and the drying up of the Aqua Augusta. The Cult of Isis agrees to prepare its followers for the impending disaster, so Amaryllis and Cornelia plan to extend their efforts to other temples, including those dedicated to Venus and Apollo. They also prepare to leverage Cornelia’s connections, such as attending a tutelage ceremony for the popular actor Paris, to further spread their message. However, the timeline remains unstable, and they suspect that another time paradox event is imminent. The members of the Neo-Magius prepare for the possibility of being transported to another point in time, as has happened before when key conditions were met.&lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;Summer of 78 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; Amaryllis and Cornelia play a game, but they&#039;re interrupted by Himena, Miyuri, and Shigure&#039;s arrival after the year-long absence. They discuss the current situation in Pompeii, where the rumors of Mount Vesuvius’ impending eruption have caused some residents and influential figures, including Cornelia’s father, to consider relocating. However, the city council remains divided, with many still favoring reconstruction over evacuation. They also consider seeking the help of Admiral Plinius, a renowned scholar and military leader, to advocate for evacuation. &lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Amaryllis#Side Story|Amaryllis&#039; MSS]]:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
***** &#039;&#039;&#039;A Maiden Ought to Play Games, 78 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; Amaryllis plays Ludus with Lady Cornelia and encourages her to watch a particular chariot race with him. During a stroll in Pompeii, Miyuri loses her smartphone, which Cornelia recalls seeing earlier in a storage room. Cornelia&#039;s father had taken it to a jeweler for appraisal, where Gaius, a relative of Pliny the Elder, showed interest in purchasing it. Concerned about potential historical paradoxes, the group hurries to retrieve it.&lt;br /&gt;
***** &#039;&#039;&#039;A Spark of Flaring Love:&#039;&#039;&#039; Cornelia devises a plan to ask her father to cancel the sale. She attends the chariot race with Marius, while the others search for Gaius. After the match, Amaryllis impersonates Gaius to secure the smartphone, while Himena and others prevent the real Gaius from entering. As the plan unfolds, a labyrinth emerges near the Temple of Venus.&lt;br /&gt;
***** &#039;&#039;&#039;Love is War:&#039;&#039;&#039; Marius unexpectedly arrives on horseback to rescue Cornelia and her father from the supposed ghostly disturbances near the temple. Amaryllis successfully gets the phone while the others detain the real Gaius, who later wakes up confused after the witch&#039;s been defeated. The next day, Cornelia prepares for a picnic with Marius and Junia, and Amaryllis returns to playing Ludus with her.&lt;br /&gt;

**** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 1, continued:&#039;&#039;&#039; The group travels to Misenum to meet Plinius. Himena suggests using her synthesis magic, as she&#039;s now learned to use her power to replicate powers without draining them from others, to replicate Amaryllis’ abilities, allowing others to assist in the plan. They successfully intercept Plinius near the coast, where Cornelia and Amaryllis explain the impending eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Despite revealing future events, including the death of Emperor Vespasian and Plinius’ own fate during the eruption, he refuses to support their cause. The group returns to Cornelia’s villa, where Nemu expresses concern that revealing too much, such as Plinius’ death, may have already disrupted the timeline. The next day, a messenger arrives with a surprising request from Consul Titus, the eldest son of Vespasian and the future emperor, who wishes to meet Cornelia in private.&lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 2:&#039;&#039;&#039; Two days later, Cornelia and Amaryllis meet with Titus, who had been informed of their prophecy and the supposed death of the current emperor by Plinius. He cannot order a mass evacuation without proof, but promises to help evacuate once the eruption begins and to facilitate aid for survivors in Neapolis. After the meeting, Cornelia, Marius, and Junia head to a picnic where Marius announces that his father has approved his engagement to Cornelia. They enjoy a peaceful moment together while Himena, Miyuri, Shigure, and Nemu defeat an offshoot of the original 10&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-7&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; witch and then observe the picnic. Nemu explains that the witch they first encountered in 77 CE has been actively interfering with history by creating powerful offshoots and to restore the correct timeline of History B, they must defeat the original witch. That night, Himena has a dream where Amaryllis laments not becoming a Vestal Maiden of Light during the original Pompeii&#039;s destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;October of 79 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; Frequent earthquakes and dried water supplies confirm the prophecy. Many residents, influenced by the efforts of Cornelia and Marius&#039; families have already evacuated, but some still remain. The Cult of Isis provides additional ships to aid in the evacuation, and Marius frees charioteers trapped in the barracks, who then help guide people to safety. &lt;br /&gt;
**** &#039;&#039;&#039;October 24, 79 CE:&#039;&#039;&#039; The eruption of Vesuvius begins and Cornelia, Marius, and their families coordinate the evacuation to the shore, where ships await. However, a large group of residents, possessed by a witch, move toward danger. Himena, Miyuri, Shigure, and Nemu confront the 10&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-7&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; witch while Amaryllis and Cornelia focus on saving lives. As the situation seems dire, the Roman navy, led by Admiral Plinius, arrives with a massive fleet to assist in the evacuation.&lt;br /&gt;
**** In Stabiae, Plinius ensures his fleet rescues as many as possible and instructs his subordinates to record his death as a brave act. To ensure history remains intact, he dies in the eruption. &lt;br /&gt;
**** With the arrival of San, Hagumu, and Mitsune, Himena, Shigure and Miyuri manage to defeat the witch. They realize that while they couldn’t save everyone, they succeeded in changing the future and ensuring that many lives were saved. As the eruption of Mount Vesuvius reaches its peak, the remaining residents of Pompeii are evacuated by ship. Cornelia and Marius look forward to rebuilding their lives in Neapolis, when they notice Amaryllis and Junia missing. Amaryllis reflects on her vow to have lived the rest of her life in atonement, dedicating herself to the peace of Rome and honoring the memories of those she couldn’t save. As Junia, she stays in the Pompeii and wears the bracelet given to her by Marius as a reminder of her past and the love she once had. With the timeline restored, the others return to the future.&lt;br /&gt;

*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 1:&#039;&#039;&#039; A messenger confirms that Toyo has been chosen as a candidate to succeed Queen Himiko of Yamatai. Toyo sets out for Yamatai, excited to meet Queen Himiko, whom she deeply admires. She encounters and befriends Rena, and later Momoko, and Kaede, unaware that they are from the future. Despite Toyo&#039;s cursed reputation, Rena and the others treat her kindly, which deeply moves her. They&#039;re confronted by soldiers from Kuna, a rival nation to Yamatai, who mistake Rena for Toyo due to a book they believe is a gift from the Wei Dynasty. After a brief skirmish, the Kuna soldiers retreat with the book, which is Nemu, but not before she tells them that Toyo is the magical girl their mission is based around. Due to their appearance and outfits, Rena accidentally lets it slip that they&#039;re from the future, but since the people of the era don&#039;t understand the word, they understand it as being a distant, more advanced country. Toyo&#039;s group arrives in Yamatai, however, Himiko rejects Toyo and accuses her younger brother of using Toyo as a political pawn. Rena defends Toyo, and the group leaves her quarters, staying in a nearby lodging for the night. Himiko&#039;s younger brother explains to Toyo and her friends that the previous shrine maiden candidates were plagued by a curse, leading to disasters. One candidate was possessed, and another sacrificed herself to exorcise the curse. He dismisses the idea that Toyo is the child of a Cursed God, suggesting Himiko’s rejection stems from fear of repeating past tragedies. He vows to make Toyo the successor despite Himiko’s objections. Toyo, feeling lost and rejected, encounters a soldier from Kuna who reveals that Toyo is the child of Himiko and the king of Kuna, not a cursed being. This revelation shocks Toyo and she questions why Himiko hid this from her and why she was treated as cursed. Toyo decides to prove herself by helping a drought-stricken village. Despite initial distrust, Toyo and her friends work to build a canal to prevent flooding when the rain comes. The villagers, seeing their efforts, gradually accept Toyo and join in the work. Himiko arrives to assess Toyo’s work and acknowledges her efforts, accepting her as a successor candidate. However, Toyo collapses from exhaustion and illness. In a tender moment, Himiko comforts Toyo, revealing herself as Toyo’s mother. Toyo expresses her love for Himiko, and the two share a heartfelt connection as Toyo falls asleep. Toyo wakes up to find herself paralyzed, unable to move or call for help. She tries to reach the sunlight, hoping someone will find her, but is unsuccessful. &lt;br /&gt;

*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 1:&#039;&#039;&#039; Toyo is introduced as Himiko&#039;s successor, but villagers doubt her due to her perceived cursed origins. Himiko defends Toyo, claiming her abilities are divine. Their strained relationship is evident as Toyo struggles to connect with Himiko, her mother, despite Himiko&#039;s efforts to bond. Toyo attempts to bridge the gap by giving Himiko a poorly chosen gift of cicada shells, which confuses her. Momoko suggests finding a dog as a better gift. Toyo uses her Spirit Arts to locate a strange creature she names Slurpy, insisting it’s a dog. Himiko initially refuses to let Toyo keep Slurpy, fearing it’s dangerous, but reluctantly agrees after Toyo pleads and promises to be responsible. She grows attached to Slurpy, momentarily forgetting her goal of improving her relationship with Himiko.&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 2:&#039;&#039;&#039; Toyo works tirelessly, using her Spirit Arts to help villagers, with Slurpy assisting her in chaotic but helpful ways. Despite her exhaustion, Toyo continues her duties, ignoring her friends&#039; concerns. Slurpy leads the group to a pond, where they catch fish and enjoy a meal together. Toyo expresses happiness but regrets Slurpy can’t join future outings. Her health declines, and she collapses while playing with Slurpy. Himiko scolds Toyo for overworking and notices Slurpy’s loyalty. Toyo apologizes to Slurpy for her inability to play due to her illness. &lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 3:&#039;&#039;&#039; Toyo’s health worsens, and she struggles to perform daily tasks, feeling guilty for burdening her friends and Slurpy. Himiko decides Slurpy must be sent away, believing dogs carry a curse that harms Toyo. Despite protests, Toyo agrees, thinking it’s best for Slurpy. They share a final playful run, though Toyo struggles to keep up. She urges Slurpy to forget her and live happily, but he refuses to leave. After parting, Toyo reflects on their memories together.&lt;br /&gt;

*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 2:&#039;&#039;&#039; Crops and livestock across Yamatai are mysteriously withering, leading villagers to believe it’s a curse. Himiko’s younger brother reveals that Kuna has been pressuring Yamatai to make Toyo the successor to avoid war. Himiko uncovers her brother’s plot to manipulate Toyo and use her as a political pawn, but she refuses to comply, deciding instead to resume war with Kuna despite the risks. Toyo’s health deteriorates, and she experiences episodes of paralysis. Himiko, realizing she cannot protect Toyo from her illness or the political turmoil, pleads with Rena and Kaede to take Toyo to the future, where she might be cured. Himiko declares war on Kuna, aiming to protect Yamatai and Toyo from Kuna’s schemes. The war begins, and Yamatai initially struggles against Kuna’s forces. Momoko confronts Himiko, urging her to give Toyo a reason to believe in her actions, as Toyo remains unaware of the true reasons behind the war. As the war rages, Toyo, despite her failing health, is determined to protect her village and the canal they built. She struggles to move but pushes herself, knowing the importance of the canal for the villagers. She is discovered by a Yamatai soldier who insists she return to safety, but Toyo resists. Rena and Kaede arrive and reveal they have built a palanquin to help Toyo move more easily and they support her decision to go to the village. Himiko, comes into possession of Nemu&#039;s book, intending to look into its binding method. After hearing them talk about something similar, she reveals to Momoko that she&#039;s gravely ill herself, coughing up blood, the illness affecting her face and losing her vision. Toyo, Rena, and Kaede arrive at the village to find it under attack by Kuna soldiers. They deliver Toyo to Himiko, and Rena fights off the soldiers, while Kaede helps evacuate the villagers. Toyo is approached by Kyubey, who offers her a contract to become a magical girl in exchange for a wish. Despite Himiko&#039;s warnings about the dangers of such a contract, as the same thing had happened to the previous shrine maiden, Toyo decides to make a wish to become a great leader like her mother, Himiko. She transforms into a magical girl, gaining the strength to surpass her disease, fight and protect her people. Toyo arrives to help Rena, Kaede and Momoko fight the witch responsible for the attack. Himiko passes away, leaving Toyo as her successor. Toyo, though grieving, vows to carry on her mother&#039;s legacy and lead Yamatai to prosperity. She addresses the people, assuring them that she will continue to fight for their future, even as the war with Kuna rages on. As they&#039;ve now fulfilled their mission and collected Iroha&#039;s concept, Momoko, Rena and Kaede bid farewell to Toyo and leave the time period. During one of the following nights, a servant of Himiko leads Toyo to a water supply, which Himiko had rigged with her knowledge of Spirit Arts to cause a display of fireflies. Toyo breaks down in tears, expressing her longing for her mother and her determination to live up to her legacy.&lt;br /&gt;

*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 1:&#039;&#039;&#039; Olga and Gunhild support each other through their hardships. Olga often shares stories of Norse gods and dreams of a better future, even creating a world called &amp;quot;Olganheim&amp;quot; in her imagination. They endure daily mistreatment, particularly from a warrior who harbors a grudge against their father. She dreams of sailing the world as a great trader, finding rare treasures, and sharing adventures with Gunhild. Her sister suggests escaping, but Olga refuses, fearing the consequences if they are caught.&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 2:&#039;&#039;&#039; They notice the village is unusually quiet as the men are away pillaging. Suddenly, they spot a wolf entering the village and Olga tries to protect Gunhild by pushing her into a shed while distracting the wolf. Gunhild, remembering a lesson from their father’s friend, suggests using loud noises to scare the wolf away. Together, they successfully drive the wolf off and Gunhild scolds Olga for risking her life by staying outside to distract the wolf. Olga apologizes and promises to consult Gunhild before doing anything dangerous in the future. She then praises Gunhild for her quick thinking and resourcefulness. &lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 3:&#039;&#039;&#039; A while after they scared the wolf, they hear a noise outside and suspect it might have returned. They investigate the noise and spot a stranger sneaking around the village. Gunhild suggests he might be a thief or a scout for an enemy group. When he notices them, Olga suggests using the same tactic they used on the wolf, and together, they scream and attract the attention of the village warriors, who chase the intruder away.&lt;br /&gt;

However, she is attacked by one of her own warriors, who resents her leadership. Fleeing the attack, Olga finds herself in a labyrinth, which she believes to be Helheim, the land of the dead in Norse mythology. Just as she is about to be overwhelmed by familiars, Gunhild rescues her. Meanwhile, the members of Promised Blood debate whether to intervene in Olga&#039;s fate, as they suspect she may be destined to become a magical girl. Gunhild reveals to Olga that she became a magical girl after encountering Kyubey, the mysterious creature Olga mistook for a Fylgja. Gunhild explains that she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to form a warrior band led by Olga to help achieve her sister&#039;s dreams. She admits that she didn’t want Olga to become a magical girl because of the dangerous and endless cycle of fighting witches and consuming grief seeds to survive. Olga insists on becoming a magical girl to share the burden, however, Gunhild vehemently opposes this, even killing Kyubey to prevent Olga from making a contract. Gunhild compares the life of a magical girl to the eternal battles in Valhalla, and that her sacrifices will earn her a place there after death. Promised Blood debate whether to intervene, and Nemu explains that the Viking era, including warrior bands like Olga and Gunhild’s, will soon come to an end with the Battle of Stamford Bridge. They resolve to continue watching without interfering, despite their feelings about the sisters.&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 2:&#039;&#039;&#039; Olga and Gunhild, along with their warrior band, prepare to join King Harald&#039;s campaign to conquer England. On 20 September 1066, the sisters and their warriors participate in the Battle of Fulford, where Harald&#039;s army wins the battle, and Gunhild&#039;s abilities earn her praise from Harald himself. Olga is attacked by a witch and narrowly escapes with the help of Yuna and her companions, who intervene discreetly to protect her without revealing their identities. Harald&#039;s army continues to advance, and the sisters prepare for the next phase of the campaign. On September 25th, 1066, Harald&#039;s army is caught off guard by King Harold II&#039;s forces at Stamford Bridge. Gunhild, using her magical girl powers, sustains severe injuries but continues to fight, shocking Harald and his men with her unnatural resilience. Harald, terrified by Gunhild&#039;s seemingly cursed abilities, accuses her of being the source of their misfortune and orders his men to kill her. Gunhild, enraged by Harald&#039;s betrayal, turns on him, but her soul gem darkens quickly and she transforms into a witch. Olga is devastated, but Yuna&#039;s team intervene, pulling Olga away from the chaos. They explain that Gunhild has become a witch, and Olga is left to grapple with the outcome of her sister&#039;s sacrifices. Olga makes a contract with Kyubey, wishing for the power to send Gunhild to Valhalla. She transforms into a magical girl and eventually defeats Gunhild&#039;s witch. Promised Blood reflects on the events, realizing that Olga was the magical girl Iroha had been observing. Nemu reveals that she withheld some information to prevent interference in the sisters&#039; fate. Having completed their mission, prepares to return to their own time, confident that Olga will persevere and calling her &amp;quot;Olga the Dreamer.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;

*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 1:&#039;&#039;&#039; Lavi, Alexandra and Urara arrive in 13th-century Tibet, seeking the Rakshasi, a figure who will end the war between Tibet and Mongolia and bring peace. Lavi discovers that the nunnery is training young girls to become Rakshasi, with Heruka being a key figure. Dolma, the leader of the nunnery, reveals that they exiled the adults who tried to stop the Rakshasi ceremony, as they believed in fighting the Mongols. Meanwhile, Alexandra and Urara pose as performers and are captured by the Mongol leader, Dolo&#039;adai, who plans to use their powers against the convent. Lavi learns that the Rakshasi are magical girls chosen through a ritual with a mysterious figure named Lord Jataka, Kyubey. Lavi and Nemu discuss the discrepancies in history, noting that the nunnery&#039;s role and the existence of &amp;quot;junior nuns&amp;quot; are not part of the original historical record. They surmise that Heruka is likely the Rakshasi mentioned in history and Lavi decides not to interfere with Heruka&#039;s fate, as it would alter history. A Mongolian soldier is captured after attempting to poison the nunnery&#039;s well. Heruka interrogates him, as she can speak Mongolian, revealing that the Mongols believe the Rakshasi attacked them first, which lead to their invasion. Heruka is shaken by the accusations but keeps the details from Dolma. Lavi learns that another junior nun who speaks Mongolian, likely Alexandra or Urara, is with the Mongols. Accompanied by Heruka, Lavi reunites with Alexandra and Urara, where they discuss the historical discrepancies and the possibility of a witch influencing events. Nemu suggests they may need to intervene to ensure the Rakshasi ends the war as history dictates. Alexandra and Urara decide to stay with the Mongols to gather intelligence, while Lavi and Heruka return to the nunnery through a hidden entrance to prepare for the impending attack. The Mongols discover the hidden entrance to the town and plan to use it to launch a surprise attack. They set a trap, using false information to lure the nunnery&#039;s defenders into an ambush. Alexandra and Urara learn of the impending attack and reveal that the Mongols&#039; plan, but Heruka deduces that the attack will likely be a night raid, not at dawn as initially suggested. She prepares the nunnery for an ambush, evacuating the townsfolk and organizing a counterattack. The nunnery&#039;s defenders, led by Heruka and Lavi, successfully ambush the Mongols, but the Mongols use a feigned retreat to lure them into a trap and successfully counterattack. The town is set ablaze and Lavi stays behind to hold off the Mongols while the others retreat. Heruka is overwhelmed by guilt, believing her actions led to the town&#039;s destruction. She asks the villagers to restrain Dolma so she can fulfill her role as a Rakshasi. Heruka then encounters Kyubey, who offers her a contract to become a magical girl. Heruka accepts, wishing to erase the memory of the Rakshasi from everyone&#039;s minds to end the war. Heruka&#039;s wish changes history, erasing the memory of the Rakshasi, even among the Folklore of Zero, and altering the perception of the nunnery. The Mongols withdraw, and the war comes to a ceasefire. Heruka spreads the ashes of her loved ones, symbolizing their return to the earth, and embraces her role as a Rakshasi. After the nunnery is restored, Dolma decides to leave and join the Order of the White Hill to seek support for the nunnery. She and Heruka share a heartfelt farewell, with Heruka giving Dolma a manuscript to help her learn Mongolian. &lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Part 2:&#039;&#039;&#039; Heruka, now seen as a savior by her followers, confronts Mongolian soldiers. Despite being shot with arrows, she remains unharmed, which the soldiers interpret as a miracle. Many Mongols abandon their weapons and convert to her faith, believing she is an incarnation of the Buddha as her magic pacifies people&#039;s hearts. Heruka’s influence grows, and she continues to spread her teachings, aiming to bring peace and Shambhala to the world. Meanwhile, the Mongolian commander, Dolo&#039;adai, is ordered to destroy Heruka’s followers, but his soldiers are reluctant, fearing divine punishment. Lavi, Alexandra, and Urara observe Heruka’s growing influence and success in stopping the war. The group decides to investigate further by studying religious texts to understand Heruka’s role and the concept of the Rakshasi. Dolma, now part of the Order of the White Hill, successfully negotiates support for the nunnery from the temple’s head priest. Lavi, Nemu, and Urara are studying a palm-leaf manuscript about Tibet’s history, which mentions the Rakshasi. They discuss the possibility of it being a mythological account of Tibet’s founding, as they&#039;ve forgotten about the Rakshasi due to Heruka&#039;s wish. Meanwhile, Heruka arrives and informs them that the Mongolian Army has attacked their village and others, resuming their invasion. Survivors beg for vengeance against the Mongols and a wounded Mongolian soldier reveals that the general has allied with the Rakshasi, and Heruka comforts him as he dies. The group learns that the Mongols plan to continue their attacks, exhausting them. Later, Deki, another girl at the nunnery, informs Heruka that Dolma has been caught in the fighting as a mediator between Heruka and the Order of the White Hill, who seek peace with the Mongols. Returning to her village, she finds it destroyed by the Mongols. The villagers, who revere Heruka as their savior, refuse to accept peace with the Mongols. Dolma is attacked by Mongolian soldiers but escapes and reunites with Heruka. Heruka meets with former Lamas and nunnery priests, and proposes a decisive battle against the Mongols and enlists their help. Dolma convinces the Temple Head Priest to support the plan, believing in Heruka’s miracle. Meanwhile, the Mongolian general, Dolo&#039;adai, prepares for the final battle and agrees to meet Heruka’s group on Mongolian soil. Heruka shares a childhood story about her grandmother, who made her believe butter tea was sweet. Heruka and her group arrive in Mongolia after days of travel. Dolma insists on being the interpreter, but it’s revealed that everyone, including the Temple Head Priest, understands Mongolian. They are led to a location resembling a Tibetan monastery, where General Dolo&#039;adai awaits. Heruka and Dolo&#039;adai exchange tense words, and Heruka reveals her plan to end the fighting by becoming a Mongolian officer. Heruka shocks her followers by claiming to betray them, offering them to the Mongols as a &amp;quot;gift.&amp;quot; She insults her companions and declares herself a Rakshasi. Heruka’s followers and the Mongols are horrified, and the Temple Head Priest accuses her of being a fraud. Dolma defends Heruka, but Heruka continues to play the villain, claiming she manipulated everyone for her own gain. She even accuses herself of killing Dolma’s family and others in their hometown. The Mongols, convinced of her evil nature, prepare to execute her. Heruka’s followers turn against her, and she is taken away. Heruka’s former Lama testifies against her, but Dolma tries to defend Heruka, who continues to play the villain. She reveals her plan to lure out the witch, the source of hatred and conflict, by creating a situation filled with hatred. Heruka is condemned as a Rakshasi, and the Mongols prepare to execute her. Heruka confronts the witch and uses her magic to put everyone to sleep, but Lavi resists and follows her. Heruka confronts the witch, realizing her magic is being canceled out by the witch’s power of hatred. Despite being at a disadvantage in a direct fight, Lavi and the others arrive to help, revealing they resisted Heruka’s magic because they wanted to protect her. Together, they manage to defeat the witch, but Heruka’s magic weakens, and the people, now awake, turn against her, throwing rocks and calling her a monster. Dolma defends Heruka and they flee together. Lavi and the others hold off the Mongols, allowing Dolma and Heruka to escape until they reach a flower of blue poppies. After Heruka’s execution, Dolma struggles with grief and anger, but Lavi encourages her to record the truth about Heruka, ensuring her legacy is preserved. Dolma travels to Mongolia, helping to spread a new script while secretly inscribing the truth about Heruka in monuments. She reflects on Heruka’s sacrifice and the blue flowers that symbolize her hope. &lt;br /&gt;

: The [[Timeline (Historical)]] is meant to have the original historical records of the events that happened. Puella Historia has the members of the cast change the past, so while it might not belong in [[Timelines]], it&#039;s not for Historical either. Would you agree to placing it in [[Magia Record Timeline]] and the game section of [[Timelines]] to just direct to it? [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 12:45, 2 March 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:: The page has a section for the Magia Record timeline too. Also, how do we know they change the past? I&#039;m not aware of any reason to believe that either the Tart events or the Puella Historia events result in changing the past. I haven&#039;t watched the Puella Historia finale mind you, so perhaps there&#039;s something there, but if you&#039;re merely &#039;&#039;assuming&#039;&#039; they change the past then I don&#039;t think that&#039;s a good assumption. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 14:32, 2 March 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::: I meant the history before the Kamihama gangs went back in time. For example, originally, the Tart stuff goes exactly as in the manga, then Iroha, Yachiyo and Ui go to the past and make some changes, even if just in Tart&#039;s dream. Another example would be how Toyo had no friends until KaMoRe came from the future. The end result is mostly similar, but the original Toyo never met anyone named Rena Minami. Historical should be for the events without involving time travel, while other articles which include the present should tell of the time travel stuff, because it starts in the present (like Present-day Kamihama for Puella Historia), they go back in time (like Mirage of Alexandria, make some minute changes, usually preventing 10^-43 from messing things up), then they go back to the present. It&#039;s why I didn&#039;t bring the Historia MSS stories that didn&#039;t involve the girls from Kamihama to [[Timelines]] but added them as references in Historical. The people from the present didn&#039;t affect Ebony&#039;s MSS since it happened before the Tokime arrived to Alexandria. I intend to put the other events of the recent past in Kamihama to the Historical Magia Record section too, unless they involve any time travel. This would also be easier since Historical overall has less detail than I&#039;ve put into my draft of events.

&lt;br /&gt;
:::: Okay, so it seems our disagreement can basically be traced back to a disagreement on what it really means to travel back in time. There seems to be an implicit assumption that Homura&#039;s form of time travel is the only form that exists, yet Amaryllis directly proves otherwise – her time travel method is very different. That already shows that there are multiple forms of time travel in the setting. That in turn implies that there&#039;s no guarantee that any two instances of time travel have properties in common. So, when analyzing time travel, we should avoid making assumptions. And it should be acknowledged that applying &amp;quot;common sense&amp;quot; to time travel just doesn&#039;t work. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 08:13, 3 March 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::: Yeah, Tart events always played weirdly with the rules. Amaryllis&#039; time travel is the most conventional, Iroha also did it once with that leaf in the Arc 2 finale. Homura supposedly goes back in time AND switches realities (Guitarist Kyosuke timeline). Mirrors time travel is weird because, the moment the mirror they traveled from shatters, the people traveling through it go back to where hey came from. Don&#039;t even get me started with Null Magica. Mikoto&#039;s was the only one that was said to bring paradoxes and potentially destroy the world, but it&#039;s ultimately unconfirmed. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 10:15, 3 March 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::: There is no such thing as &amp;quot;conventional&amp;quot; in time travel. The &amp;quot;switches realities&amp;quot; theory for Homura&#039;s time travel doesn&#039;t seem to be canon – Homura Tamura rolls it up to ridiculous, but there is nothing whatsoever in the show to support it (guitarist Kyosuke is &#039;&#039;clearly not&#039;&#039; canon). From what we &#039;&#039;actually see&#039;&#039;, her time travel is something like &amp;quot;stuffing her future soul into her past body&amp;quot;. Amaryllis&#039;s time travel is the closest we get to a &amp;quot;wormhole&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;portal&amp;quot;, where two versions of Amaryllis exist simultaneously. I think the only thing we can really conclude is that there are no rules for time travel in the setting – each time traveller has her own rules. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:34, 4 March 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::: I hate to bring up old points again, especially since the matter for which this discussion started has been settled, but if Guitarist Kyosuke can&#039;t be taken as canon, since the information comes from a witch card, then what about Cleopatra and Himiko? Why are the production notes of Cleopatra and Himiko from episode 11 taken as canon proof they&#039;re magical girls, and the Historia versions of them are taken as a separate universe? From what we saw, we never got confirmation that that was Cleopatra or Himiko except runes of their names and production notes saying they were. Toyo&#039;s event even had a cop-out with justifying that the japanese girl from episode 12 was Himiko&#039;s shrine maiden. I don&#039;t even think we saw Cleopatra&#039;s soul gem, and it&#039;s not like Tart (from episode 12) where it&#039;s so specific and has hard evidence that it&#039;s Jeanne of Arc as a magical girl. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 09:49, 4 March 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::: The identity of Cleopatra does not depend on any production notes. The scenes showing her in the anime are very clearly her. I don&#039;t know whether or not the same applies to Himiko, but I would say runes of their names are sufficient as evidence to their canon identity. I&#039;m not sure if there&#039;s direct evidence in the anime that Cleopatra was a magical girl, though – it&#039;s possible it&#039;s merely inferred from the fact that all the &#039;&#039;other&#039;&#039; historical characters depicted are magical girls. She &#039;&#039;is&#039;&#039; clasping something to her chest that could be a soul gem, but unlike with Tart, we can&#039;t see any evidence that it &#039;&#039;is&#039;&#039;. But the main point here is that their identity is clear enough from the anime without resorting to production notes. This is &#039;&#039;definitely&#039;&#039; true for Cleopatra at least. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:14, 5 March 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::: Now, I am not aware of any reason to believe that &amp;quot;the history before the Kamihama gangs went back in time&amp;quot; is something that exists. It&#039;s quite within reason to believe that they went back in time because they went back in time. Time travel messes up causality, after all. I am not aware of any convincing evidence that Yachiyo and Ui &amp;quot;make some changes&amp;quot; to the past. Indeed, the Maiden of Hope explicitly questions this theory – it points out that the fact of &amp;quot;Tart remembered Yachiyo and Iroha&amp;quot; may have been true already before they went back, and they just didn&#039;t know. It also points out that the sweet dreams charm with the red and blue candles has no origin – Melissa learned it from Iroha, and then Melissa passed it down through history until Iroha learned it. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 08:13, 3 March 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::: I actually agree with that. However, I think historical should have the barebones of the story, like &amp;quot;Cleopatra dies,&amp;quot; since it&#039;s ultimately unconfirmed whether they were always meant to be there. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 10:15, 3 March 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::: So unless we can find references to &#039;&#039;strongly support&#039;&#039; the idea that history was changed (such as an actual non-speculative statement in the game itself about what the history was like &amp;quot;before the change&amp;quot;), then I think it&#039;s simpler to assume it wasn&#039;t. Based on that premise, they didn&#039;t go back in time and change history – they went back in time so that they could replicate the true history that led to their present day. I doubt either version of the theory is strongly-supported by the evidence, mind you, but without explicit data on &amp;quot;pre-change&amp;quot; histories, anything you put there would be speculation. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 08:13, 3 March 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::  An argument I could make to say that they weren&#039;t always meant to go to the past is that Mikoto, having seen the past, didn&#039;t comment on the Kamihama girls being there or change her mind by saying &amp;quot;well at some point I agree with them so why prolong the inevitable&amp;quot;. The Pillar of Tomorrow has her talk with Iroha about how she&#039;s satisfied with Iroha now after she&#039;s done with her work.

:::::: I wouldn&#039;t say it&#039;s the place for &amp;quot;time travel shenanigans&amp;quot;. It started out as an analysis of timelines formed specifically from Homura&#039;s actions, not timelines in general. It would certainly make sense to briefly cover the Historia and Tart time travel situations in [[Timelines]], but I&#039;d say that should slot in from the future perspective, rather than in a &amp;quot;historical&amp;quot; section. In other words, it&#039;s mentioned at the point when they travel back in time, rather than having a section to itself in the past. But giving a full summary of the event would probably be too cluttered, I think.&lt;br /&gt;
:::::: I think the main detail of the Puella Historia stories &#039;&#039;definitely&#039;&#039; belongs in [[Timeline (Historical)]], though if you &#039;&#039;really&#039;&#039; want to phrase that summary to avoid mentioning the time travellers, I guess it wouldn&#039;t hurt. From the context of the Historia series, the goal is to &amp;quot;prevent the past from changing&amp;quot;, so I think it&#039;s most reasonable to conclude that the time travellers (including the Witch of Symbols) had only very minor net effects on the past events. And the History A vs History B of Amaryllis&#039;s story also belongs there, in my opinion. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:34, 4 March 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

== Too Many Files ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why are you uploading the entire UI of Magia Record? We don&#039;t need most of those files. The backgrounds and the item icons are fine in theory, though I think about half of them are duplicates. Most of the rest is useless. There are probably a few exceptions, but we definitely don&#039;t need stuff like bits of buttons that are cut up so the button can be made any width desired. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:11, 28 May 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
: Sorry, I&#039;m done with the files now. I thought it would be better to have them than not have them, especially since a lot of backgrounds are missing from where they should be. I&#039;m done with bulk files for now, at most I will upload a few files for magia record event galleries.[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 20:14, 28 May 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:: I don&#039;t think there&#039;s any worth in having the buttons that you click on in the game, unless there&#039;s some nice picture on it. I haven&#039;t gone through your list in detail yet, but I&#039;m probably going to delete about 1/4 of the ones that aren&#039;t backgrounds when I find time. And there&#039;s &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;definitely&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; no worth in having the numbers in a special font.

::::Looks like I was right about duplicates. I found at least one case where the same files were uploaded under different names, on [[Mikazuki Villa]].

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Why are Riz&#039;s former companions on this category? I can see why those contracted by Isabeau, but they were contracted by Kyubey.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I included them because I assumed that Riz&#039;s wish would have also applied to them and not just Tart. ~ [[User:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]] ([[User talk:Amaterasu|talk]]) 13:55, 13 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Labyrinth Spaces ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Homura was able to enhance one of her rooms to turn it into a white room with floating graphics about Walpurgisnacht through this, and this application of magic seems to do little more than create a small pocket dimension for extra space and visuals.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where is the justification for this? It sounds like more of a fan theory than established fact to me (in which case it should use the speculation templates), but it&#039;s possible I&#039;m missing something.  ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:54, 21 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Common Abilities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While I&#039;m on the topic of possible fan theories, it strikes me as varying levels of questionable to include the following in &amp;quot;common abilities&amp;quot;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Storage/Hammerspace: I can maybe see justification for this in the robes of the Wings of the Magius or Elisa&#039;s weapon (which was created by Pernelle, so it&#039;s not the magically-summoned weapon that many girls use). But even then, I&#039;m not sure we have sufficient evidence to say that that&#039;s an ability of the girl, rather than an ability of the robes or the weapon. Also, when it comes to the robes, there&#039;s some evidence that they &#039;&#039;don&#039;t&#039;&#039; get stored in any kind of hammerspace.&lt;br /&gt;
* Energy Blasts: If this was such an easy ability to learn, how are there so many magical girls that have no way to attack?&lt;br /&gt;
* Summon Barriers: This is kind of unclear. It seems to be fairly common for magical girls to learn barrier-like defensive abilities (both Mami and Kyoko did) but I don&#039;t see the justification for calling the ability &amp;quot;common to all magical girls&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
* Clones: Very few magical girls have been demonstrated to use clones, so it seems very far-fetched to call it &amp;quot;common to all magical girls&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
* Teleportation: As above – teleportation actually seems to be a very rare ability as far as I can tell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It would be less of an issue if the section was &amp;quot;abilities that many magical girls learn&amp;quot; rather than &amp;quot;abilities that all magical girls possess&amp;quot;. But other entries in the section clearly &#039;&#039;are&#039;&#039; abilities that all possess. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:54, 21 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Got a couple more to add:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Conjuration: I&#039;m not aware of any concrete examples of magical girls conjuring random items. The most notable example, Mami&#039;s muskets, is actually a counter-example – she built those muskets from her ribbons. And if she can build a musket from ribbons, she can probably build a teacup too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Containers: I&#039;m only aware of two magical girls (Mitama and Niko Kanna) who&#039;ve created containers (ignoring Alina and her little green cubes, as that&#039;s explicitly her unique power). Thus, it seems to me that this should be mentioned as powers of those two girls, rather than in common powers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:28, 21 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Bulk Explanation==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ll give the explanations for each of them. How I justify all of it is that if many girls have the same ability, which is nt their unique ability, then it can be learned to some extent. Maybe there should be a new section for &amp;quot;Learnable Abilities&amp;quot;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Labyrinth Spaces: Homura&#039;s room did have magic added to it. I called it a labyrinth space because it shifts to Homura&#039;s emotions and memories when she hugs Madoka. But that may be non-diegetic. However, Madoka also saw the murals of Walpurgisnacht and asking her about it. Homura couldn&#039;t have possibly had that room on her own, so it seems reasonable to be a common application of magic. My logic is that if a power isn&#039;t classified as unique to the girl, then it&#039;s something learnable. In one of the Tart events, Minou had also added enchantments and stuff to the space around her territory, but it wasn&#039;t clear what she&#039;d done. In Kazumi, several characters (like Umika, Niko and Kazumi) did it in various ways, and not just inside the freezer, but that&#039;s where it was most common.&lt;br /&gt;
* Storage/Hammerspace: Many girls just kind of pull small stuff out of nowhere, but the clearest example of the summoning thing for the storage is when Matsuri pulled out a grief seed from a magical sigil. It is possible the Feathers&#039; robes have the power to store them, but at the very least, Iroha, Kuroe and Matsuri have all stored small objects somewhere on their person (usually just grief seeds, but it still counts). Elisa and Tart&#039;s weapons are also proof of this, as well as the obvious Homura shield.&lt;br /&gt;
* Energy Blasts: The Feathers attack Eve en mass during the AniReco finale. Feathers are also generally weak, plus Homura also used the same technique, same with Kyoko in AniReco. It stands to reason that it takes a bit of training.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summon Barriers: It was already there when I got to the article, but it is a normal application of magic which has been done many times. Natsuki deliberately learned it, and as you said, Kyoko and Mami also did it. Yuuri did the same thing too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Clones: Mami and Kanae are obvious, but it&#039;s clearly a learned ability that the girls can learn since Kanae and Mami are both different, plus these clones were clearly different from Kyoko&#039;s phantom clone ability.&lt;br /&gt;
* Teleportation: If you look at the battle animations, many girls are able to use it in short bursts. And since Suzune was able to learn it with her fire magic, as well as so many battle and magia animations, it seems to be a learnable thing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ll add and split these and others into &amp;quot;abilities that magical girls can learn&amp;quot; or something along those linesas you say.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: I have quite a lot to say here, so I&#039;m going to split my response up into one spoilerbox per entry. Suffice to say though that I&#039;m not convinced by your arguments. Most of them seem to be full of holes. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoilerbox|about=Labyrinth Spaces|&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Homura&#039;s room did have magic added to it.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;This is what we&#039;re trying to determine, so it&#039;s not part of the argument.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;I called it a labyrinth space because it shifts to Homura&#039;s emotions and memories when she hugs Madoka.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;I&#039;ll assume that &amp;quot;it shifts when she hugs Madoka&amp;quot; is a fact. What makes you believe that the shift is in response to Homura&#039;s emotions? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
: Labyrinths shifting to memories and emotions is a thing that happens. It&#039;s unknown if it is diegetic, but there&#039;s a difference when emotional moments happen in the normal world, and when they happen in labyrinths.&lt;br /&gt;
:: It&#039;s just like what happens in the labyrinth of Charlotte in episode 3 (when Mami cries to Madoka and the scenery changes in response to Mami&#039;s emotions, being bright when she feels relieved)&lt;br /&gt;
:: The labyrinth of HN Elly in episode 4 (Madoka&#039;s memories are on display on the TVs)&lt;br /&gt;
:: Oktavia&#039;s labyrinth also shows memories (of Sayaka and Kyoko when Kyoko and Madoka enter the long aquarium walls)&lt;br /&gt;
:: Since Rebellion takes place in a labyrinth, this happens way more, like when Homura and Kyoko walk without the bus, the big tvs behind Mami and Homura showing Charlotte, the flowers responding to Homura and Madoka on the field. (It also happens more than normal, because Homura&#039;s the witch, so I can understand that this is a non-normal case)&lt;br /&gt;
:: Bottom line, the direction of art for when something emotional happens in a labyrinth, or labyrinth-like space, is different from when they&#039;re in the real world, as compared to labyrinths, especially with the memories being reflected on surfaces, which is what happens in Homura&#039;s white room when she cries and hugs Madoka. The memories may be non-diegetic, but the change of lighting and scenery is still something that only happens in Labyrinths, including the pendulum room. &lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;However, Madoka also saw the murals of Walpurgisnacht and asking her about it.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;A character asking about it doesn&#039;t prove anything.

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Homura couldn&#039;t have possibly had that room on her own,&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;This doesn&#039;t seem to be a reasonable initial assumption. I don&#039;t think anything was ever said about it directly, and it seems quite plausible to me for it to be something like a &amp;quot;video wall&amp;quot;, or perhaps some form of video projection. In other words, the wall can be explained by technology, so bringing in magic as an explanation isn&#039;t necessary. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
: I can understand this being a technological room (maybe Homura stole some money or equipment), but nothing hinted at that, plus looking at the other room in Homura&#039;s apartment (the one where she googled &#039;how to make a bomb&#039; in episode 10) it&#039;s very different. Additionally, the room&#039;s layout reflects a clock with the seats, there&#039;s an invisible pendulum being swung around whose shadow we see all the time. This doesn&#039;t seem like a normal room, is what I&#039;m trying to say. I get that the technology in the show is advanced, but for a student to just have a white empty room taking up more than one floor is very unlikely. But it is ultimately possible. It just doesn&#039;t seem outside the realm of possibility for an experienced Magical Girl to learn to use aspects of her witch, especially since a lot of magic takes the look of those INU Curry assets (even when used by magical girls). Additionally, this is confirmed by Episode 10 when Homura&#039;s making the bomb that this is her apartment where she stayed after getting out of the hospital, she didn&#039;t go to a different one after the second timeline.&lt;br /&gt;

::I don&#039;t know why you&#039;re assuming Homura stole something. As far as I know, we don&#039;t have any evidence to suggest that Homura can&#039;t afford expensive equipment. (We also have no evidence to suggest that she &#039;&#039;can&#039;&#039; though, unless you count this room itself as evidence.) Furthermore, I&#039;m not aware of any evidence that suggests the room was built by Homura – it could&#039;ve easily been already there in her home, set up by her parents at some time in the past. I can see that some of your other arguments here are reasonable arguments for it maybe being magical though. I think it&#039;s reasonable to say that it &#039;&#039;might&#039;&#039; be magical and it might not be and we just don&#039;t have enough information to be sure either way. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:39, 22 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In one of the Tart events, Minou had also added enchantments and stuff to the space around her territory, but it wasn&#039;t clear what she&#039;d done. In Kazumi, several characters (like Umika, Niko and Kazumi) did it in various ways, and not just inside the freezer, but that&#039;s where it was most common.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;I&#039;m honestly not sure what you&#039;re referring to here. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
: There&#039;s quite a few occasions where the Freezer has non-normal imagery in the back, again showing the emotions of the girls. However, with Kazumi&#039;s artstyle it&#039;s difficult to know what&#039;s real and what&#039;s in the character&#039;s minds.&lt;br /&gt;
: During the fight with Kazumi in the freezer, it also changes a lot, the space itself warps and the pillars move up and down in accordance to what the girls need (like when Mirai tries to save Saki). While this may be a technological feat, but they weren&#039;t using any device to make that happen, the pillars just knew how and when to make that happen. But again, the entrance to the Freezer itself was only opened to the saints&#039; gems, so isn&#039;t that an aspect of &amp;quot;enchanting the environment&amp;quot; through magic in and of itself? It just doesn&#039;t seem out of the realm of possibility to imbue magic into a room to make it completely white, or somewhat respondent to one&#039;s input.&lt;br /&gt;
: In the Tart event, I recall talks about how the quarters of Minou (or rather the castle, while they were trying to reach the bell) had magic throughout it, but Minou&#039;s special cuz she has benefitted from many contracts, and wedon&#039;t know what it was since it was just dialogue in the game. Ultimately, this is the weakest, but I thougt it&#039;s worth bringing up.&lt;br /&gt;

:: Regarding the Freezer, it sounds less likely to be technological than Homura&#039;s room, though it&#039;s still possible. On the other hand, from your description here, I wouldn&#039;t conclude it&#039;s a labyrinth barrier either. Perhaps it &#039;&#039;could&#039;&#039; be, but as you mention yourself, they might have simply enchanted the walls and the pillars. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:39, 22 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;My logic is that if a power isn&#039;t classified as unique to the girl, then it&#039;s something learnable.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;There is quite a gulf between &amp;quot;it&#039;s possible to learn this power&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;this is something that any girl can learn&amp;quot;. And prior to your recent edits (which I&#039;ve yet to look at), you were strongly implying the latter.&lt;br /&gt;

When Kuroe refused to give the grief seed to kuro in the flashback, she touches her pocket, but it&#039;s like how girls&#039; phones stay in their pocket when they&#039;re in civilian form, and then when they transform, they just temporarily disappear and it&#039;s not acknowledged.&lt;br /&gt;

But when exactly did they use energy blasts? My understanding is that the feathers attack by enchanting chains to move according to their will, making it essentially a form of telekinesis, as well as a specific application of enchantments.

The chains were also just a weapon they could control, but the blasts of magic were done by so many girls that it seems safe to assume anyone can learn to do that.

:: Kyoko&#039;s barriers were made from chains, but in the magia record anime, she did also make a sort of protective bubble when helping Iroha. &lt;br /&gt;
:: Yuuri&#039;s was a force shield which damaged whoever got close, but we ultimately don&#039;t know what happens to those who would have touched Natsuki&#039;s, Mami&#039;s or Kyoko&#039;s barriers either.&lt;br /&gt;
:: Another case of this that I forgot to mention is Homura herself. When Oriko attacked the school, Homura created a shield around Madoka, which was similarly a bubble shape like Kyoko&#039;s (in anireco) and Mami&#039;s (in episode 3).&lt;br /&gt;

::: I think we can trust the animations too, since Himena was flying through the sky in chapter 12, unless you watch her magia, you wouldn&#039;t know how she did that.&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:06, 22 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::: This is a very strange list, because it contains girls who clearly can&#039;t teleport and also doesn&#039;t contain girls who clearly can. I took a look at some of the animations, but I really think they can&#039;t be trusted to give an accurate representation of the girl&#039;s abilities. You&#039;re missing at least Shizuku, Leila, and Coeurl. Anyway, that aside…&lt;br /&gt;
:::::Suzune: I have no idea what you mean with &amp;quot;in the ladder&amp;quot;. I don&#039;t recall a case where she ended up surprised after using Heat Haze to get away, but that in and of itself doesn&#039;t prove it to be teleportation. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:39, 22 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::Mifuyu: I don&#039;t see how leaving Kuroe behind proves it&#039;s not her hallucinations. Maybe she &#039;&#039;chose&#039;&#039; to leave Kuroe behind. Or maybe Kuroe chose not to follow her. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:39, 22 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::Amaryllis: I don&#039;t remember this (maybe it was in Pillar of Eternity that I haven&#039;t watched yet?) but it sounds like unambiguously teleporting, so I&#039;ll accept that one.&lt;br /&gt;
:::::Alexandra, Yuna, Shigure: These are judged from the animations, where you can&#039;t trust the concept of space at all. Appearing right in front of the enemy doesn&#039;t necessarily mean they teleported there – the grid-based battlefield is not an accurate representation of each girl&#039;s location, so you could easily judge that they and the enemy being targeted just happened to be face-to-face at that moment. I do agree that all three magia animations can easily be interpreted as teleportation, though I&#039;d say Yuna and Shigure give more of a &amp;quot;moved very fast&amp;quot; impression, but it&#039;s only weak evidence that they might be able to teleport. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:39, 22 June 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::: Some of these are debatable, (especially Mifuyu and Suzune) but I&#039;ll relent since it doesn&#039;t seem common enough. Plus Hikaru and Yuna both learned new abilities because of their personal magics, but they&#039;re just heat resistance and making minions, both very unique and unrelated. Plus Ria predicted the future once, so I ultimately don&#039;t think it matters. What they can learn seems pretty subjective to the specific girl in most cases.

== Scene 0 ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would say that Scene 0 does not have any map. None of the files you uploaded for it give any indication of what it would actually look like in-game, because all those elements are layered together with parallax to produce the final effect. It &#039;&#039;may&#039;&#039; be worth posting screenshots of Scene 0 from in-game, to show the final look, but the individual elements that make it up (other than ones that have actual content) don&#039;t belong on the wiki. We want to show what the game looks like, not rip all the assets and distribute them. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 22:14, 27 July 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

Could you upload all of the Exedra Event banners? I&#039;ve changed [[Magia Exedra Events]] to use the portraits as the event images, but I think these banners would fit way better, right now we only have the banner for the first part of Crescent Memoria. (While you&#039;re at it pls upload the Serene Symbiosis portrait from the Doppel Mami event, I uploaded it but since I just grabbed it off of the Exedra wiki it has a different file name than the others, so pls upload it with the correct file name) - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 10:39, 27 May 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

I remember you uploading the texture of one of the Scene 0 windows (deleted now), so I know they&#039;re &#039;&#039;somewhere&#039;&#039;, I wanna try(?) arranging them so that we can have them with transparent backgrounds (since its just me arranging textures off of screenshots it won&#039;t be very accurate, but if this is our only way of getting them now, I wanna do it). - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 15:22, 4 June 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

I just remembered something I wanted to also ask for- When Witches are in Score Attacks, their Witch Kiss is displayed in the Score Attack menu, and I know that when Uwasa are Score Attack bosses Uwasa-san&#039;s face is displayed there. I know that the &amp;quot;emblem&amp;quot; files are tied to the Chamber of Light, and that the Uwasa don&#039;t have Uwasa-san&#039;s face there, so is there a way to get that file of somehow?

::Seems like it&#039;d be possible, but it might be a little difficult to erase the line down the centre... does Corbeau not have a witch kiss elsewhere, like from the Score Attack?

== Timelines Ready ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Putting this here cause idk if you&#039;re caught up on the timelines talk page, the list is &amp;quot;done&amp;quot;. We agreed to just fuse Darc into Historical, same for Kazumi and Suzune into the &amp;quot;prelude&amp;quot; of the timelines. We also agreed that if any of them are big enough they could deserve their own pages, but not right now. We don&#039;t really know what to do with the Kirara Magica stuff as we decided that Other/Alt doesnt really have a reason to exist when Magia Exedra/Other does, Celtic said that they would rather decide after the articles are made. The last thing is that the nightmare stories from Exedra should go into either Original/Other or Magia Record/Other depending on where they happen, as they&#039;re &amp;quot;posibilities&amp;quot;, which yeah means theyre not really canon but they still fit into those universes, as theyre posibilities. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 19:34, 28 June 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

::::::::::::::: Also Timeline/Original was different as I recall. Specifically in its split &amp;amp; parallel timelines section. As it is now it&#039;s inaccurate to the current setup. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 15:49, 1 July 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::::::::::Done. I can see there are still some differences between the current [[Timeline]] page and the previous revision, so I&#039;ll dump that at [[User:Sweet Beanie/Timeline]] since I&#039;m not sure which version is better. As for &amp;lt;s&amp;gt;Timeline/Original&amp;lt;/s&amp;gt;, it looks like it&#039;s mostly just reordered, but I&#039;ll take another look at it. Are there any other pages with missing parts that I should look up? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 15:52, 1 July 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::::::::::: Other than that, it seems fine. Thank you ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 15:55, 1 July 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::::::::Timeline/Original wasn&#039;t the one I was thinking of that seemed reordered. It was Timeline/Original/Other. Timeline/Original was directly undeleted after renaming the previous revision to Timeline/Original/Historical, so it should be exactly the same; and if there&#039;s something missing it would be in Historical. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 15:58, 1 July 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::: Yeah, no. I did everything right for the splits and the content changes, though I&#039;ll grant I should have used Move for the simple renames, they&#039;d still be too few. No, most of the pages couldn&#039;t have used the MOVE function since they needed to be split, changed and sorted again, reference tables needed to be created, links needed to be fixed, navigation tables, I found a couple of typos, etc. You&#039;d see the information wasn&#039;t the exact same if you took the time to look through them. Even through the numbers in the recent changes page, you could see that what was added from one article was different from what was removed from another article. I worked for more than 3 hours yesterday to make sure they were all corrected, now I can&#039;t even see what I did since they&#039;re entirely deleted. Not to mention the big mess that will need to be fixed now that the Arc 2 reference links are shortened. Was your plan to have me do them again but this time use the move function and have the end result be the exact same, or did you genuinely not look through them? Return my articles to how I left them yesterday. It&#039;s absolutely disheartening to see something you did out of pure passion and love for a piece of media to be deleted and then be told to do it again. I wanted the information archived and available for the public so they can understand the franchise better and now it&#039;s entirely gone. Return the articles to how I left them yesterday, because I&#039;m not doing this again. I don&#039;t even know where I&#039;d find the original files and writing I used anymore and I&#039;m not gonna go look. You could have literally waited a bit, asked, commented them out, or anything other than delete them entirely. Undelete them. Thank you in advance. I&#039;ll be back when I see them restored, or at least backed up somewhere where I can access them so I can use that much beloved Move function properly. Have a good day. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 10:40, 1 July 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::::Okay I did all I could, Im pretty sure the pages look &#039;&#039;almost&#039;&#039; identical to the originals, but obv that cant be 100%. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 15:42, 1 July 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::::: I&#039;m confused as to why they couldn&#039;t just be restored or backed up somewhere. Celtic has access to them, no? ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 15:50, 1 July 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

== Timeline Pages Question ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think some of the placements on the Magia Record timeline pages are wrong (though not as much as there used to be), am i allowed to just edit them or would the changes have to go through you first, just want to make sure ~ [[User:KyoSayaRulzRB|KyoSayaRulzRB]] ([[User talk:KyoSayaRulzRB|talk]])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Yeah of course. I don&#039;t mean to hog the pages by any means and I appreciate people contributing to it. &lt;br /&gt;
: For Arc 1: The general method of organization on the pages are that if any events, like let&#039;s say the hypothetical Evil Sana Event to have an example, happen during the intermediate period where Mikazuki is together, but the Magius still exist, they&#039;re positioned by a general sense of time compared to the seasonal events, as well as other events that are close to them in order of release. Same things apply for Post-Arc 1. Since we don&#039;t know when they happen in relation to other events, their sections have the event names for that reason. I&#039;ll get to it eventually but every header will say something about it, like: &amp;quot;this event takes place at a point after Sana had very recently joined the Mikazuki Villa&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;This event was released after the Evil Felicia Event and the Evil Rena Event, thus it has been positioned between them here.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
: In general just keep watch for &lt;br /&gt;
# Are both Sana and the Magius active (If yes, Intermediate period)&lt;br /&gt;
# Is Ui active (If yes, Post-Arc 1)&lt;br /&gt;
# Is Iroha or the Mikazuki team active (If not, then /Prologue)&lt;br /&gt;
# Are any Arc 2 elements or characters mentioned (If not, then it de factos to Post-Arc 1)&lt;br /&gt;
: For Arc 2: The story is a lot more tightly knit, so that&#039;s why I put them all in the Unknown Placement section. With the Mixed Summer event, it&#039;s becoming easier to determine the time of the year each part takes place in. If we&#039;re lucky, the Unknown Placement section keep being smaller and smaller, though with things like the Kimochi Raids, I suspect it&#039;ll at least have that as part of it.&lt;br /&gt;
: For Arc 2, keep watch for:&lt;br /&gt;
# the state of Alina&lt;br /&gt;
# Are Ikumi and/or Ryo alive&lt;br /&gt;
# If Mitama and Kanagi are still good guys&lt;br /&gt;
# Is Himena thought dead or not&lt;br /&gt;
# The opinion of Yuna and Ao towards KMU&lt;br /&gt;
# Have Touka and Nemu detonated yet&lt;br /&gt;
: I&#039;ll keep adding stuff to it as I go along, like the smaller stories that take place between everything, but I needed to get a sense of the passage of time first, especially for Arc 1.&lt;br /&gt;

==Magia Record Events==&lt;br /&gt;
===See You Tomorrow===&lt;br /&gt;
* One morning at the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira greets an older neighbor who warns her about increasing danger in the area. Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wait, You Got It Wrong!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayu Kozue&#039;s most treasured possession is a bear pendant her father carved for her before he died. When a hand-drawn postcard is stolen from the museum where she works, security footage shows her friend Ria at the scene moments later. Mayu cannot reach Ria and suspects a Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~|Wait, You Got It Wrong! / Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While searching for Ria, Mayu encounters Asuka Tatsuki, whose family&#039;s invaluable book of secrets was also stolen. A witness described a blonde girl in a Mizuna uniform—Ria. They find Sayuki Fumino crying over her stolen sword book, then Rena Minami who was bumped by the same girl. At Walnut&#039;s restaurant, Manaka Kurumi accuses Ria of stealing a rice omelet. A Witch barrier appears, and after Mayu and Asuka defeat the Familiars, Ria arrives demanding to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka challenges Ria to a duel over the thefts, and Ria loses. She confesses to something embarrassing, and everyone assumes she means the thefts—but she meant a binder of idol clippings she desperately hopes no one saw. She was only chasing the Witch to recover her own stolen belongings. Relieved, Mayu and Asuka join her. They track and defeat the Witch, recovering most items, but the museum postcard, the dojo book, and Ria&#039;s binder remain missing. They agree to search again tomorrow. That night, Mayu dreams of her father, who tells her material things are destined to break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, thefts continue across the city. Mayu realizes the Witch they defeated was only a Familiar and the real Witch is still out there. She offers her precious pendant as bait to track it. Despite Ria&#039;s protests, Mayu uses it, and they follow the magic trail to the Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After a difficult battle, they recover all stolen items, though Mayu&#039;s pendant is scratched and its chain broken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu is unbothered. She explains that material possessions naturally break, but the memories they hold remain in her heart—a lesson from her father. Asuka and Ria are moved, and Mayu turns to walk home, promptly falls into a lake, and flounders while Ria sighs that she has not changed at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
Big Sis = Miss K (check with Exedra)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor Onee-san. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Onee-san with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Onee-san&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Onee-san to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Always Waving my Hand at You===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Sakuya wakes from another nightmare about the Futatsugi war, where she killed her best friend. She resolves to continue her undercover mission at Iroha&#039;s school and avoid friendships at all costs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Always Waving my Hand at You|Always Waving my Hand at You / I’ll Keep Waving at You]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakuya maintains her isolation at school. After fighting a Witch, she is approached by Ryoko from the Tokime Clan, who persistently tries to befriend her despite Sakuya&#039;s refusal. Ryoko notices Sakuya&#039;s exhaustion and decides something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The following day, Ryoko investigates and discovers Sakuya hid her own shoes and started the gossip to isolate herself. Sakuya confesses she killed her best friend in the war and must remain alone to avoid hurting anyone else. Ryoko declares she will save Sakuya by becoming her best friend, and they fight until exhausted. That night, Sakuya dreams of her deceased friend, who thanks her and tells her to move forward. She wakes to find Ryoko collapsed from hunger, and they talk for hours like ordinary friends. Though they agree they cannot meet again until the battles are over, they promise to become true friends then.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the following days, Sakuya returns to normal life by socializing with classmates, sleeping better, and regaining her spirits. Ryoko gains a new goal: to free Sakuya from the things that bind her, once and for all, when the time is right.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them. The girl agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, finishing the final preparations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day of the school festival proceeds without major incident. Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, sampling food and enjoying the event. They take a photo together at the repaired arch—Tsumugi, Manaka, and the transfer student in her uniform. The transfer student reflects later that she will cherish the photo forever, grateful for the kindness she did not feel she deserved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Manor. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;

** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts. When Yachiyo asks Iroha&#039;s opinion, Iroha expresses her love for shortcake and suggests they bake one immediately, but Yachiyo insists she wait for the right moment, which will come sooner than she thinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* An earthquake strikes the city, and on a rooftop, Jun Kazari drops both her yo-yo and her soul gem while practicing tricks. She chases after the soul gem, while the yo-yo falls into the hood of Mitsune Miwa, a hikikomori watching a performance below. Mitsune decides to return it and runs up the stairs, where she collides with Jun. Jun explains she needs her soul gem, and Mitsune returns the yo-yo. A Witch&#039;s barrier appears around them, and Jun transforms to fight while telling Mitsune to close her eyes. Mitsune peeks, collapses after seeing the Witch die, and Jun carries her outside, claiming it was all a dream. Jun insists on treating Mitsune since she saved her yo-yo, and takes her to a candy store called Tomorrow Shop. Jun introduces her to the children there, and Mitsune is amazed by how loved Jun is. Mitsune must leave by 6 PM, and Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Girls in the Hood|Girls in the Hood]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Jun tells Mitsune she is moving next week and that magical girls do not have the kind of magic Mitsune dreams of. Mitsune must make her own dreams come true. Jun promises to prove she does not need magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Jun finds that the children and Mitsune went to explore Shinsei Ward without her. She finds them at an abandoned construction site where Mitsune encountered a Witch.

===The Mirror That Reflects My True Self===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sae goes about her daily life in Kamihama. She maintains a facade as the daughter of a well-off family while secretly working multiple jobs to support her kind but financially irresponsible parents, living by a philosophy of relying only on herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Mirror That Reflects My True Self|The Mirror That Reflects My True Self]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a routine adjustment with the Coordinator Mitama, Sae learns of a &amp;quot;False Magical Girl&amp;quot; rumor: someone is impersonating her. Mitama suggests Sae seek help from Emiri&#039;s counseling room, where Magical Girls gather. Though reluctant, Sae agrees the impostor threatens her carefully constructed image.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sae joins the counseling room girls to investigate. Emiri, Himika, Ria, and others provide testimonies of sightings, but inconsistencies emerge. After deducing the impostor can transform, Sae confronts and corners Rena, who reveals the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire investigation was an elaborate setup. Emiri and the others orchestrated the &amp;quot;False Magical Girl&amp;quot; to force Sae into relying on them, worried her refusal to ask for help would lead to disaster. Mitama coordinated the scheme. Though initially frustrated, Sae understands their concern and thanks them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sae returns home to find her siblings confused. Someone matching her description visited earlier, acting affectionate. Sae realizes a real impostor exists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A figure identical to Sae appears and delivers a prophecy: tomorrow, Ria will be attacked and Emiri will stabbed saving her. In the evening, Sae will be defeated pursuing the attacker, and Himika will be hurt helping her. Lastly, Sae&#039;s entire family will die because of an enemy she fails to defeat. The figure claims to be Sae from the future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sae dismisses the prophecy but confirms part of it when her brother shows her a perfect test score, exactly as predicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sae investigates recent incidents, concluding a powerful Witch is responsible. Before she can act, Ria is attacked and Emiri stabbed, just as predicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Determined to prevent the next prophecy, Sae locates the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth alone. She is overwhelmed and nearly killed. Himika arrives to help, having found Sae&#039;s marked map, and is gravely injured in the rescue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sae receives a message that her family is attending a concert near the Witch. As she despairs, the counseling room girls arrive, led by the impostor who directed them there. They insist on fighting together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group coordinates their abilities. Emiri and Himika distract the Witch, Maria binds it, Akira finds its weakness, Ria conceals their attacks, and Hinano commands the operation. Sae delivers the final blow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Sae reconciles with her family. The future Sae, who watched from afar and disappeared, her past unchanged but is satisfied this world&#039;s Sae was saved. She returns to the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following days, Sae begins helping at the counseling room, gradually opening up to others while maintaining she does so for networking. The room becomes busier as more Magical Girls seek advice, and Sae finds herself enjoying the company despite herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Lavi is shopping when Nayuta finds her to share news about her math test score. They return home where Lavi prepares dinner, and Nayuta discovers Lavi earned perfect scores in every subject, highlighting the gap between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House|The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day while Lavi runs errands, Nayuta confides in Mikage about her fears that Lavi only respects her father and secretly resents serving her. Seeking answers, Nayuta visits Mitama, who suggests that kindness and broad-mindedness are the traits she needs to develop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Nayuta observes how hard Lavi works attending school, studying, handling housework, and fighting witches. Worried she might collapse, Nayuta offers Lavi time off for her upcoming sixteenth birthday and secretly plans a surprise party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later on Lavi&#039;s birthday, Nayuta and Mikage struggle through cleaning the house and preparing a celebration. Their efforts are interrupted when Lavi returns early for lunch, scolds them for the mess, but leaves again at Nayuta&#039;s insistence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Lavi returns that evening, the handmade kusudama falls onto the cake and catches fire. Lavi extinguishes it with water, and Nayuta is left mortified as her surprise party fails spectacularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Nayuta senses lingering coldness from Lavi and struggles to find the right way to apologize. Remembering her father&#039;s example, she decides to catch and cook a fish as an apology gift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day at a fishing center, Nayuta encounters girls from the Tokime clan who teach her how to gut fish. Despite being disturbed by the process, she perseveres and eventually catches the exact fish she wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning home late, Nayuta discovers a threatening letter addressed to Lavi and deduces it must be connected to the serious trouble from Lavi&#039;s hometown. She rushes to the market street with Mikage to protect her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the market street, Nayuta confronts the man speaking with Lavi, declaring herself as Satomi Tasuke&#039;s daughter to intimidate him. The man reveals he is simply a stalker with no connection to Lavi&#039;s past, and when he becomes agitated, Nayuta tackles him unconscious as a crowd applauds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Nayuta presents the cooked fish and apologizes. Lavi admits she was barely angry anymore and thanks Nayuta for protecting her, acknowledging she was just like her father in that moment. Nayuta produces a second kusudama and cake, and this time the celebration succeeds. As they pick confetti from the cake, Lavi quietly says she will continue to admire Nayuta until the final day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Magia Record Event - The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf|The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo bumps into Tsuruno on a day when school is out. Yachiyo has a job performing in a recorded drama with Sayuki that will be screened on Tanabata. Tsuruno recalls Yachiyo&#039;s poor performance in Karin&#039;s Halloween play and decides to join her to help. Yachiyo welcomes her.&lt;br /&gt;
** On set, Ria and Mayu are assisting with makeup and costumes. Yachiyo recognizes Ria, calls her by name, and praises her work, causing Ria to internally fangirl. Yachiyo grows anxious seeing so many Magical Girls gathered, recalling how a previous production with magical girls turned into a disaster. Tsuruno reassures her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wins over the production team with her exuberance. The play&#039;s co-star drops out, and the director asks Tsuruno to take the role. She eagerly accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a fairy tale about an ancient Mizuna legend. Two girls, Tsuyu and Chizuru, befriend each other despite their families&#039; rivalry and join forces to punish a selfish lord. Yachiyo plays Tsuyu, the ice queen with a heart of gold. Tsuruno plays Chizuru, the cheerful and impetuous girl. Sayuki plays the Magpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** During the script reading, everyone realizes Yachiyo&#039;s acting skills are still terrible. Yachiyo confides that she has turned down many acting jobs but accepted this one because the director begged her, even if she flops. She vows to see it through to expand her repertoire. Tsuruno promises to stay by her side.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria is in shock seeing her idol perform poorly. The filmmakers work around it by taking away Yachiyo&#039;s lines. Ria confronts Yachiyo and Tsuruno after the reading, declaring she will give Yachiyo an acting bootcamp. She does not want Yachiyo&#039;s performance to drag down her makeup work or her reputation as Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at home, Yachiyo reviews the script. Tsuruno explains the Mizuna fairy tale to the rest of Mikazuki. Felicia becomes interested when she learns there are fight scenes. Tsuruno explains that the day Tsuyu and Chizuru teamed up was Tanabata, and people in Kamihama entrust their wishes to them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next week or so, Yachiyo is drilled on acting with a professional coach and Ria&#039;s guidance. She eventually executes her lines perfectly and Ria is relieved.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sea is a Link Through Time /  The Call of the Open Sea===&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. There&#039;s two different versions at hand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Momoko and Mitama arrive at a resort near a village with a legend about a Diviner who eloped with a sailor and sank with stolen treasure. Mitama reveals they are actually there to hunt for this treasure based on a fairy tale Mikage heard. While exploring the private beach, they encounter Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao from the Tokime Clan, who stumbled there by accident. The group decides to spend the day together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|The Call of the Open Sea]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, they attend a festival in a nearby village that turns out to be a branch of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka learns the villagers consider Diviners a superstition. Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Promised Blood&#039;s base, Yuna notices her teammates have been acting strangely, as Sakuya reads romance columns, Juri studies constantly, and Urara stares at Hikaru without speaking. After the meeting, Yuna confides in Hikaru that she feels guilty for not noticing everyone&#039;s exhaustion and decides to solve each person&#039;s problems personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend. Though relieved it&#039;s not her own love life, Yuna insists on helping anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s place, the group brainstorms confession advice. The conversation shifts when Ao receives a text from her parents—she&#039;s been lying to them about her late nights as a magical girl, claiming she&#039;s in an e-sports tournament. To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the online tournament, chaos ensues as Juri attacks teammates, Hikaru sets the kitchen on fire, and Yuna fails at selling merchandise. Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the student council meeting, Yuna honestly requests more time to handle personal matters, promising to dedicate herself fully afterward. The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Onee-san, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Felicia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward. Kyubey finds a fuming Felicia, who decides to hire herself out as a mercenary to other magical girls for money or Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Felicia Mitsuki#Side Story|Felicia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia encounters Asuka and Sasara and defeats a witch for them, but they let her keep the Grief Seed and leave without paying, leaving her frustrated. Kako appears, concerned, but Felicia rejects her harshly and immediately regrets it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia helps defeat the witch and collapses from exhaustion, silently vowing to destroy every witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Touka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Hazuki and Nanaka team up with Ui to teach her how to defeat witches. Ui claims her first victory and receives a grief seed as a reward while Touka and Nemu tag along to offer congratulations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui suddenly realizes she loves the choir and wants to become a music teacher. She excitedly shares this revelation with her family and friends and resolves to work hard toward this future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art. The Amanes are relieved, and Tsukuyo suggests they play their flutes at the shrine on the way home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Both affirm that their only allies are each other, and they will always be together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends. Before Hibari&#039;s family moved away, she performed a charm ritual on Aru and promised they would meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message that Hibari is coming to visit Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives and they plan to visit an arcade. Along the way they encounter Himena&#039;s group and later help a lost Shizuka. After some confusion about directions, they reach the arcade where Hibari wins a crane game prize and helps Juri win one too. Hibari suddenly becomes pale and goes to get change, but she does not return. Kagome calls her and Hibari thanks her for being friends before saying goodbye, with an ambulance audible in the background.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome discovers a crowd under a Witch&#039;s Kiss heading toward a rooftop and sends emergency messages to every Magical Girl she knows. Himena&#039;s group arrives to help hold back the crowd, but other girls cannot come due to similar incidents elsewhere. Shizuka finally checks her phone and rushes over with the Tokime Clan just as someone threatens to ignite kerosene. They stop the crowd while Juri and Ao defeat the Witch with Livia&#039;s help. The Witch&#039;s Kiss is lifted and Hibari wakes up confused, with Livia covering that she collapsed from anemia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari admits she felt faint because seeing Kagome surrounded by friends made her happy but also made her feel left behind and alone. Kagome insists Hibari is wrong and promises to come running whenever Hibari is in trouble, asking them to stay best friends forever. Hibari reveals the two wishes she made when they parted came true: that she could speak her mind loudly and that Kagome would make lots of friends. They renew their promise to remain best friends forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari. They bonded over a shared love of &amp;quot;The Adventure of Mandragora.&amp;quot; Hibari gave Kagome a Mandragora plushie named Al-chan and asked to be friends. Kagome learned ventriloquism through Al-chan and grew more confident. The two became inseparable.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kagome&#039;s family moved due to her father&#039;s job transfer, Hibari put a charm on Al-chan with a secret wish. They promised to meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message from Hibari saying she will visit Kamihama. Kagome prepares to show her around.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives in Kamihama. Kagome is happy to see her. They go to the arcade. On the way, they run into Himena and her group. Kagome introduces Hibari. Later, Kagome helps Shizuka, who was lost and struggling with a foreigner. Hibari is impressed by how much Kagome has grown.&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the arcade. Hibari wins a plushie from a difficult crane game in one try. Juri, Yuna, and Ao appear. Juri asks Hibari to win a prize for her. Hibari succeeds. Juri offers a drink as thanks, but Hibari declines.&lt;br /&gt;

Juri and Ao go to defeat it while Kagome and Yuna search for Hibari. Kagome receives a call from Hibari, who says goodbye and hangs up. Kagome fears the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large group of people under Witch&#039;s Kisses begins heading toward a rooftop. Kagome coordinates with nearby Magical Girls for help. Himena, Shigure, Miyuri, and Yuna hold them off. Reinforcements from other Magical Girls are delayed due to incidents elsewhere. The situation grows dire.&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka finally checks her phone and sees Kagome&#039;s emergency messages. The Tokime Clan arrives and helps stop the crowd. Juri and Ao defeat the Witch. Livia appears to assist. Everyone is safe.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hibari wakes up. Livia explains she fainted due to anemia. Hibari admits she felt left behind seeing Kagome surrounded by friends. Kagome reassures Hibari that she is still immature and needs her friend. Hibari reveals her secret wishes from childhood: that Kagome would speak her mind and make many friends. They promise to remain best friends forever.&lt;br /&gt;

* Day 4&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri struggled at school, frustrated by classmates who avoided conflict and teachers who enabled them. Her anger built up. She reflected on how she became a Magical Girl—she wished for a patient, stout heart to stay in school and not burden her father. The wish gave her patience but did not eliminate her anger; it built up as flames until she exploded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl Yuna introduced continued to spar with Juri. The girl revealed Juri had saved her from a Witch, and she admired Juri.

After thinking it over, she searches for information with help from others, but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hinano explains that because the agreement fell through, local manufacturers like Kanoko’s father stayed in business, so there was little news. Chiharu and Sunao arrange a meeting at the factory and bring Shizuka. Kanoko’s father tells Shizuka his factory would have failed otherwise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches. Hagumu is moved but asks for more time to discuss it with Shigure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===San&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Hikarizuka Youth Association, San is treated like a younger sister by the members. The Chairman reveals the Association is facing rumours of shady business and has lost a major sponsor. The Fire Festival may be cancelled. San tells Miyuri about her past—as a child, she was scared of the Festival until Tatsu showed her the beauty of the flames. She joined the Youth Association out of admiration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[San Kagura#Side Story|San&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Years ago, a movement to abolish the Festival arose. San wished to Kyubey to &amp;quot;make the Fire Festival remain,&amp;quot; and the movement died out. However, the Festival is now in trouble again because her wish only solved the immediate crisis. San suggests that if they could make people believe in a visible god, they could restore faith in the Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San and Miyuri try fundraising but fail. San decides to research the god of Hikarizuka Shrine. She learns the shrine&#039;s god was originally a girl who emerged unharmed from flames—likely a Magical Girl. San realizes she can become a visible god and spread Magical Girl supremacy to protect the Festival. She decides to contact the new Wings of Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San meets Shigure and Hagumu, who lead the Neo-Magius. They ask her to join as an instructor. San declines, saying she is more suited to being a lieutenant. She receives a message that Tatsu was caught in a violent incident. San rushes back. Sponsors are considering dropping out due to the incident. San decides to negotiate with Miyuri&#039;s father to continue sponsorship just for this year. She kneels and begs him. He agrees but says this will be the last year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San helps Tatsu with Festival preparations. She receives a message from Shigure about a new Neo-Magius leader. San meets Himena Aika. She is impressed by Himena&#039;s attitude and believes she has the makings of a leader.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Youth Association is manipulated by a Witch and starts a riot. San fights the Witch with Miyuri and the Neo-Magius. One Neo-Magius member is injured. Tatsu calls San—Miyuri&#039;s father is cutting off sponsorship and the Festival is cancelled. San is devastated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Youth Association cleans up. San learns that everyone has given up on the Festival. Tatsu admits none of them ever saw the god—he only told San that to comfort her as a child. San is shocked but still refuses to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** San tells Himena about her wish and her determination to become a god. She vows to spread Magical Girl supremacy and revive the Fire Festival by any means necessary. Himena approves. San declares she will become a living god, no matter what she has to sacrifice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Miyuri&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena, Alexandra, Hagumu, and Shigure watch as San stretches Miyuri. Miyuri&#039;s loud reactions draw attention. Himena asks about Miyuri&#039;s inline skating. Miyuri explains she started skating as a child because she was bad at running and her parents bought her skates. She fell in love with the feeling of cutting through the wind and quickly improved, eventually competing in freestyle competitions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Miyuri Yukari#Side Story|Miyuri&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s social anxiety worsened. She began experiencing panic attacks at competitions and could no longer compete. Her parents signed her up with the Hikarizuka Youth Association to help her interact with people. There, she met San for the first time. San invited her to dance practice. Miyuri fainted from overexcitement while watching San&#039;s legs. She realized she had a leg fetish and that it triggered her anxiety. She began avoiding San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s skating practice suffered. Her mother suggested she visit the Community Center. Miyuri avoided San again and went outside to practice skating alone at night. She felt free and happy while skating. San saw her dancing in the moonlight and was mesmerized. San decided she wanted to help Miyuri grow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish. San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri learned her new power shortened her experience of anxiety. She became more confident but still fainted easily. She fought Witches alone, often blacking out and going berserk. She encountered the Wings of the Magius while chasing a Witch. Her Doppel emerged. San appeared as the Instructor, defeated the Witch, and fended off the Doppel. San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training. Touka and Nemu suggested San should train Miyuri since she could still hear San&#039;s voice when unconscious. San agreed and became Miyuri&#039;s instructor. Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present) Back at the Community Center, Miyuri finishes her story. She does not regret her wish because it led her to become San&#039;s secret weapon and join Neo-Magius. Himena and the others leave, leaving San and Miyuri alone and Miyuri is mitten with San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Lavi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Lavi wakes Nayuta with the smell of natto. Mikage arrives urgently, asking to interview Lavi for her web newspaper assignment. Lavi agrees on the condition that her privacy is respected. Nayuta spills milk at breakfast, and Lavi wipes it up, explaining that milk can be used to clean silverware.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi goes shopping with Mikage and Nayuta. At the vegetable shop, the owner thanks Lavi for her gardening advice. A woman gives Lavi fresh eggs as thanks for organic vegetables from Lavi&#039;s grandfather. Mikage notices Lavi knows many housewives. Nayuta realizes she knows little about Lavi&#039;s past.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi explains she used to have a frail body as a child due to an unidentifiable condition. Her grandfather grew organic vegetables, which eased her symptoms. However, a severe storm destroyed the field&#039;s soil, making it impossible to grow vegetables. Lavi wished to restore the soil and became a Magical Girl. Her wish saved the field and gave hope to others. She admits her improved health was partly due to becoming a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage wants to make the newspaper more interesting, so Lavi offers to demonstrate &amp;quot;newsworthy&amp;quot; housework. She cooks lunch while Mikage records. Nayuta and Mikage try to help but ruin the dish with too much seasoning. They are distraught, but Lavi salvages it using cabbage and eggs. The meal is delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After making the newspaper, Nayuta and Mikage fall asleep. Lavi reflects on her past. She reveals that she never found joy in living despite her family&#039;s efforts. Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true. She asks for a little more time in her beloved daily life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Asahi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime Tribe holds a celebration to welcome Asahi. During introductions, Chiharu rambles excitedly about her favorite shows, and Asahi finds herself intrigued. When pressed to share more about herself, Asahi talks about hunting and the importance of minimizing suffering. That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun. Everyone apologizes, and they end the day with a shared dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Alexandra&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Re-analyze and structure this. It is a double-story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra dreams of her school days. She sees her past self smiling and realizes she is dreaming of the time she was in love. In the dream, she discusses love with Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu. Himena shares a romantic story about stargazing with Hiko. When Himena asks about their own love lives, Alexandra begins crying unexpectedly. She denies anything is wrong, but Himena apologizes for being insensitive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Alexandra Kurusu#Side Story|Alexandra&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, Alexandra&#039;s teacher appears—but he looks like Shigure. Other people appear as Himena and Hagumu. She recalls that her teacher was her math teacher and club advisor. He was strict and had a reputation for being scary. Alexandra remembers how she would complain about him with her classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After club activities, Alexandra wants to practice singing more. She goes to the rooftop and finds the teacher there. He allows her to practice under his supervision. They begin meeting regularly on the rooftop. She learns he does not smoke and is careful about his throat. He mentions that being an adult is not that great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A male classmate confesses to Alexandra. She almost accepts but pictures the teacher&#039;s face and realizes she loves someone else. She rejects the classmate. Later, it rains, and the teacher lends her his towel. She realizes she has fallen in love with him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra begins trying to appeal to the teacher daily. She asks about his relationship status and learns he is single. She indirectly describes him when talking about her type. She leaves a love letter in his shoe locker. He thinks it is a prank but recognizes her handwriting. She keeps trying to convey her feelings, but he never takes her seriously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra&#039;s behavior becomes obvious in class. She eagerly volunteers to answer questions and is overly happy when called on. Her classmates are amazed she can talk to the scary teacher so cheerfully. She learns everyone fears him. She asks why he became a teacher, and he admits his parents were teachers and he had wanted to be a singer but never pursued it. He wonders if there is any meaning to his life. Alexandra feels sorrow and wants him to be happy. She begins planning to improve his reputation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey appears and offers to grant any wish. Alexandra wants to capture the teacher&#039;s heart through her own efforts. She decides not to make a wish yet. She organizes a surprise birthday party for him with her classmates. He is genuinely happy and thanks her. He realizes she planned it. She tells him all the students respect him. He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra continues her jokes and attempts to get closer to the teacher. She jokes about marriage and asks for a date on the school trip. He unexpectedly agrees to go shopping with her for a few minutes. She hugs him in excitement. A classmate spots them on the rooftop. Rumors spread quickly. The principal calls the teacher in. He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra cannot wake up from the dream. She imagines the teacher scolding her for playing with his feelings. She decides she needs to apologize in real life. She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love. She tells him her feelings were not a deception—they were true love. She thanks him for a wonderful time and says she now only places her faith in Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Urara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara volunteers to do grocery shopping for Lavi. At the supermarket, she gets distracted by flash sales and buys beef, bean sprouts, and curry ingredients. She forgets Lavi&#039;s shopping list. Lavi forgives her but asks her to be more self-controlled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Urara Yume#Side Story|Urara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Urara and Lavi travel to Yukuni. Urara loses her wallet, but Lavi finds it. At the agency, Urara&#039;s manager asks her to coach a children&#039;s diabolo class as a final job. Urara accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the diabolo class, Urara teaches the class alone. Some children struggle to follow her teaching style. Lavi, Alexandra, and Asahi watch from a distance. During lunch, Urara admits she cannot explain techniques well. Lavi analyzes the wrist angles and timing, and the others offer to help. The class is a success.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Urara feels inadequate and misses her former partner, Kurara. She remembers Kurara was better at teaching. Lavi notices Urara is depressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Several days later, Urara returns to Yukuni to pick up her resignation papers. Lavi accompanies her. Urara admits she misses Kurara. Lavi warns her that reconciliation is unlikely, but Urara insists on trying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the agency, Urara confronts Kurara. Kurara reveals she always resented being compared to Urara&#039;s natural talent and felt like &amp;quot;Not-Urara.&amp;quot; She says breaking up the duo was for the best and asks Urara to stop involving herself. Urara is devastated. She returns to Kamihama and cries to Lavi, who comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Urara receives a message from her manager. A girl named Rei from the diabolo class wants more lessons. Urara agrees to meet her. Rei wants to learn the &amp;quot;Urara Special&amp;quot; to beat a prodigy her age. Urara remembers how she unknowingly hurt Kurara by copying her tricks too easily. She decides to coach Rei properly. Lavi offers to stay and help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara and Rei practice together. Lavi advises on timing. Rei successfully performs the trick. Urara tells her to remember the joy of performing, not just winning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rei competes and wins her first cup by performing the Urara Special, a trick even the prodigy could not do. Rei thanks Urara. Urara realizes that coaching helped her grow and face her regrets about Kurara. Rei asks Urara to be her permanent coach. Urara agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara returns to the Folklore base. She announces she will continue coaching diabolo classes. She wants to pass down her goal of making people smile through diabolo acts to the next generation. Lavi and the others support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nayuta&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta dreams of proving folkloric studies superior to Touka, but Lavi wakes her with obnoxious humming. Lavi scolds her for being a deep sleeper and rushes her to school in Takarazaki City, where Nayuta complains that Lavi acts like a stern stepmother rather than a kind maid her age.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In class, a self‑assessment exercise has Nayuta describe herself as quiet and diligent, but her peers call her stubborn, someone who hates losing and speaks her mind. She reluctantly accepts “stubborn” fits her persistent search for her father. The teacher introduces the Johari Window, explaining that without communication people understand themselves at most fifty percent and others only twenty‑five percent—a lesson that sticks with Nayuta.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Nayuta meets Iroha at the train station. Both are surprised the other remembers them. They discover they are the same grade and both hail from Takarazaki, and Iroha mentions she also searched for a lost loved one. Nayuta requests to see Yachiyo, apologizing for her bluntness. Iroha reassures her, noting they are both stubborn junior‑high girls from Takarazaki who came to Kamihama to find someone important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Yachiyo has no new information about Nayuta’s father. Tsuruno has Nayuta show a photo, but no one recognizes him. Felicia suggests Nayuta simply ask Touka, since she also grew up at Satomi Medical Center. Nayuta refuses, saying she cannot trust Touka, and apologizes for her stubbornness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Nayuta admits to Lavi she slept poorly because she cannot stop thinking about Touka. Mikage arrives, upset after a fight with Sudachi: Mikage complained about school, Sudachi said she envied Mikage for being able to attend, and they argued over whose position was harder.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home. Lavi approves of her standing her ground, and Nayuta realizes she and Lavi are more alike than she thought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Himika suggests she meet girls her own age like Ui, Touka, and Nemu, though Mikage is uncertain about befriending the geniuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When she returns home, Mitama warns her that Ui has been kidnapped by Promised Blood and forbids Mikage from associating with the Kamihama Magia Union. Mikage reluctantly agrees but is frustrated her efforts to make friends have been stopped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama leaves for work and Mikage accuses her of hypocrisy—Mitama can spend time with the KMU while Mikage cannot. She runs out, declaring she will find a new big sister. She finds Emiri’s office closed but runs into Rika and Ren, who quickly realize she is Mitama’s sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Mikage bond over fashion and go to some cheap stores, where Mikage realizes she left her wallet. They play a crane game instead, and Rika wins stuffed animals for Ren and Mikage. Mikage asks Rika to be her big sister; Rika declines but encourages her to talk to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory. Kanoko lets her help make a pendant, but before Mikage can convince her to become her sister, Mitama arrives and drags her home. Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any. Later, she finds Mitama has made all her favorite foods, and they reconcile off‑screen; Mikage gives Mitama the pendant she made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage declares she will not give up on making Kamihama Magia Union friends. She then decides that since Lavi and Nayuta are older, they can be her big sisters instead. They exchange a look and agree to treat her for one day. Mikage expresses her hope that someday she and Sudachi can play with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yozuru plays piano at a pharmacist’s request, impressing everyone, then meets Livia Medeiros and Sudachi Sawa. Sudachi exposes Mifuyu, who decides to introduce herself directly. Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yozuru meets Livia and Sudachi again. Yozuru worries she lacks the kindness to be a good coordinator, but Livia encourages her. Sudachi’s stomach rumbles, and Yozuru prepares snacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yozuru replies that her mother trained her to face worse and declares she will live to the fullest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited again. She jokes about the visitor&#039;s persistence. Yozuru and Sudachi return from stocking up on essentials. Sudachi trips, and Yozuru hesitates to help. Livia instructs Yozuru to help Sudachi stand and dust her off. Yozuru apologizes and explains she is not equipped with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the trailer, Yozuru offers tea. Sudachi wants teacakes. Livia allows them to have some as a treat. Livia reflects that she needs to help the girls mature. Yozuru has lost compassion, while Sudachi needs to find her words. Livia believes they will complement each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is found sleeping and crying. Yozuru gives her a handkerchief. Livia says crying in sleep happens occasionally and is common among Coordinators. She thanks Sudachi for finding her dropped ring. Sudachi sulks when Livia refuses to give her sweets as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the ring is a treasure and a way of reprimanding herself. It is the reason she lives for &amp;quot;Mister Sun.&amp;quot; She says she may tell the full story another time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia shares her philosophy: no matter how awful life is, do not drift in a bad direction or relieve resentment with a curse. Magical Girls are born from hope and must overcome struggles with hope. She warns against corrupting purity and urges supporting those with pure hearts. She says she has said enough for now and will share the rest when she is ready. She asks the visitor to promise to live strong, face forward, and not end up like her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Touka and Nemu debate whether Lil&#039; Kyubey is pretending to eat or has internal compression organs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lil&#039; Kyubey takes a train and meets Emiri, then goes to a shop where Natsuki cheers with it. It also helps Himika gather grass.

** Ryo loses sight of Lil&#039; Kyubey. She finds a girl with potential who may have received a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and helps fight the Witch alongside Nanaka. After the battle, Nanaka explains Lil&#039; Kyubey followed her into the labyrinth and returned a flower she dropped. Nanaka asks Ryo to tell Lil&#039; Kyubey to stop visiting unfriendly Magical Girls. Ryo realizes Lil&#039; Kyubey avoids girls with potential and is not soliciting anyone. She writes an article correcting her earlier suspicions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Ui finishes her journal. Touka and Nemu read it and use it as qualitative data. They debate whether Lil&#039; Kyubey is mimicking humans or simply reinforcing Ui&#039;s actions.

She says they will continue together from now on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices.

* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book. She thought she could accept the people she helped not talking to her, but now it feels like she does not even exist. When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nanaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Needs to be re-checked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako to ask for their help fighting a witch they all share a connection to. To explain why she needs them, Nanaka tells them how she became a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka&#039;s father headed a traditional Japanese flower arranging school, but when he fell ill, senior students took over and grew the school&#039;s popularity while abandoning its traditions, shutting out Nanaka&#039;s family entirely. On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform. She decided to lay the Soul Gem with its owner&#039;s body, and when she placed the gem in the girl&#039;s hands, the girl began breathing again. Later, Kyubey explained that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Kyubey asks if Nanaka will tell the others this secret, but she says she is waiting for the right moment. Nanaka then reflects that her true revenge target is actually Kyubey himself. Her power makes it clear he is her enemy, though she does not know all the details, and she is waiting for the right time to turn against him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Nanaka&#039;s team is still unable to find the witch. Akira reports meeting a magical girl mercenary. As the girls plan their next move, Nanaka muses about how she is gathering the determination of magical girls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Re-check.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuku enjoys time with her friends but feels disconnected from them and uncertain about her future. She finds comfort in Fūnī, a traveler who visits her family&#039;s cafe and shares his dream of finding a place to belong. When he invites her to search with him, she feels hopeful that she will not be alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Fūnī dies in an accident, and Shizuku makes a contract with Kyubey, wishing to be taken to him instantly. She arrives at the hospital as he dies, begging him not to leave her. She resolves to continue searching for a place to belong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As a magical girl, Shizuku gains the power to connect spaces, allowing her to travel the world much like Fūnī once did. She continues her search, taking jobs from an unknown magical girl who pays her to use her power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day after a job, Yachiyo Nanami, Tsuruno Yui, and Iroha Tamaki approach her. Iroha invites Shizuku to their house, where she meets Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba. She stays for dinner and overnight, observing how the five girls live together like a family. Yachiyo invites her to stay as long as she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku realizes the other girls have found their place to belong, but she understands that her own place was with Fūnī. She cries as his last words finally make sense to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, Shizuku ends her arrangement with the unknown magical girl and returns to Yachiyo&#039;s house, hoping she can stay there. When she arrives, the house is empty, and she sees the personal items that mark each girl&#039;s place. Overhearing them return, she realizes their home is complete with five people and she does not belong there. She leaves quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and the others had prepared a welcome party with cake, but Shizuku never comes. Yachiyo senses that Shizuku might disappear if you look away and admits she should have seen this coming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku returns to the unknown magical girl and asks for more work. When asked why she came back, she says their picture was complete with five people and she must keep searching for where she belongs. She mentally apologizes to Yachiyo, knowing her actions will cause disaster but feeling unprepared to take responsibility. She wonders if she will ever find solid ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Akira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After Nanaka and Sasara contracts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Akira wakes from a dream about being attacked by a familiar and finds Sasara Minagi nearby, who is out for a walk. Sasara offers to help Akira search for an old man&#039;s lost cane, recalling she saw children playing with a red cane, and the two head off together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akira Shinobu#Side Story|Akira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akira reflects on her upbringing in her father&#039;s karate dojo, where she learned to always help those in need and earned the neighborhood nickname &amp;quot;Troubleshooter&amp;quot; starting at age six.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira started middle school, a girl asked her to be a bodyguard against a stalker. The girl brought her to a park, confessed her love, and admitted to lying about the stalker. Akira politely rejected her, saying she didn&#039;t know much about that sort of thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Akira learned the girl had vanished and spent days searching for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day Akira found the barrier, she retraced the girl&#039;s steps in the park and stepped into a witch&#039;s labyrinth. She found the missing girl among blank-faced victims marked by a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Kyubey appeared, explained about witches and magical girls, and offered a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Familiars attacked and overwhelmed her despite her karate training. Injured, Akira wished to save all those people, transformed, and destroyed the familiars.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, none of the victims remembered the incident. Kyubey told Akira she needed to defeat the witch itself, which became her destiny as a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a magical girl, Akira patrolled Kamihama investigating witch-related incidents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day, she encountered a familiar without transforming and dropped her Soul Gem. Unable to retrieve it, she fled the barrier and collapsed unconscious outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira woke, Nanaka Tokiwa introduced herself as the magical girl who found her and picked up her Soul Gem. Nanaka advised withdrawing since Akira had collapsed, and Akira reluctantly agreed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Nanaka called asking for a favor. When they met again, Nanaka requested a duel, claiming Akira was weak and should quit hunting witches. Akira refused, citing her family&#039;s dojo, and they dueled. After some fighting, Nanaka ended the duel and apologized. She explained she wanted to test Akira&#039;s resolve and invited her to work together as a team. Akira relented after Nanaka claimed she was troubled and couldn&#039;t fight witches alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present day, Akira returns the cane to the old man and thanks Sasara. She reflects on meeting many magical girls since joining Nanaka and wonders how many exist in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akira tells Sasara she must go to a meeting about Kamihama&#039;s real estate. They say goodbye to each other and Akira departs, wondering if she is being used by Nanaka, who always seems preoccupied with something else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Manaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes Manaka cooking at her family&#039;s failing restaurant, Walnuts. She dreams of following her father&#039;s footsteps as a chef and believes that gaining admission to the prestigious St. Lillianna Academy will help her cook like a high class lady and restore the restaurant&#039;s popularity. Kyubey notes her poor grades make passing unlikely, but Manaka insists this is her father&#039;s last chance and resolves to study.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Manaka Kurumi#Side Story|Manaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Upon starting at Mizuna, Manaka visits the student council and offers to cook for an upcoming joint assembly with St. Lillian. The council dismisses her, explaining they already arranged a chef.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Walking home, Kyubey again offers a contract. Fed up, Manaka accepts but wishes not for the restaurant&#039;s success, but for a chance to spread their restaurant&#039;s flavors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A week before the assembly, the student council learns their chef was invited to a competition. They reach out to Manaka, who happily accepts. Her cooking at the assembly is a tremendous success, with the fancy girls declaring it superior to renowned restaurants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the assembly, Manaka begins selling popular bentos at school and works as a visiting chef at St. Lillian every Thursday. However, none of this translates to more customers at her family&#039;s restaurant. Meanwhile, her father receives invitations to tour as a chef and seems genuinely happy traveling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt; Manaka questions why she even bothered trying.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Manaka finishes selling bentos and keeps one for herself. Sana Futaba rushes in, upset at arriving too late. Sana explains she can normally only be seen by magical girls, but Manaka insists a first-class chef never loses sight of her customers and offers her bento. Sana accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana promises to arrive earlier tomorrow, but Manaka reveals this may be her last day selling bentos. She admits she thinks she made her restaurant even more obscure, and if she is not helping it, she sees no point in cooking. Sana tearfully confesses that Manaka&#039;s bentos became the only thing she looked forward to during lonely lunch breaks. She insists Manaka should not quit because she is still making people happy. Seeing Sana smile gives Manaka new motivation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After contracts of: Kako, Manaka&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A documentary crew follows Ria Ami, whose natural beauty causes crowds to part, though she admits she has no basis for comparison when asked about her challenges. Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ria asks Manaka to be her bodyguard while buying the magazine featuring her article, wearing sunglasses to avoid being seen. Inside, she discovers her article occupies only one page, while Yachiyo has an eight-page spread. Furious and convinced Yachiyo did it on purpose, Ria tears the magazine in half, and the clerk charges her for it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;riass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ria Ami#Side Story|Ria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Nearby, Rika defeats a Witch and sees Ren about to jump. She saves her and asks why she wants to die. Ren cannot answer. She reflects on her childhood: she has always had trouble speaking and was teased and bullied for it. She attempted suicide once before but was scared of dying. Kyubey appeared and granted her wish to live.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explained that the bullying was caused by a Witch&#039;s influence—Witches hurt people, who then hurt others. Ren resolved to destroy Witches to create a better world.

She explains that to get others to open up, you must share the secrets that create distance.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren tries to tell her story but cannot get the words out and begins crying. Rika tells her not to force herself.

Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch. Emerging back in the park, Felicia thanks Ayame, and they realize the race was never finished. They resume, but Ayame admits she&#039;s fine with not winning and she has come to accept Felicia as a strong rival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ayamess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ayame Mikuri#Side Story|Ayame&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Masara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro gives Masara cookies simply because she wants to, leaving Masara confused by the gesture. Masara flashes back to their first meeting, when Kokoro had blamed herself for being unable to protect others and Masara told her she should not carry that guilt. Kokoro had asked to stay by Masara&#039;s side, explaining that those words had saved her. In the present, Kokoro asks what Masara is thinking about, and when Masara admits she was remembering their first meeting, Kokoro smiles. Masara does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Masara Kagami#Side Story|Masara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara visits Mitama for magical strengthening, bringing many Grief Seeds with her. Mitama notes her unusual enthusiasm, and Masara explains she wants to get stronger in order to find something that might change her life. Mitama suggests she try attending a summer festival and hands her a flyer, but Masara shows no interest. When Mitama brings up Kokoro, mentioning that Kokoro has talked about her, Masara insists they are merely working together, not friends, and finds Kokoro&#039;s expectations troublesome. Mitama claims Masara is actually worried about Kokoro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara reflects on her childhood, remembering how her parents had her swim from a young age. Despite showing talent, she never felt any joy or sense of accomplishment, though she continued hoping it might eventually change. It never did. She became a magical girl thinking her dull life might finally become interesting, but even that eventually grew boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead. The Witch targets Kokoro, and Masara injures herself by blocking the attack. The Witch escapes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro apologizes, but Masara claims she only did what was most logical, since the Witch could not have been defeated alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Masara keeps flashing back to the moment the Witch attacked Kokoro whenever she looks at her injury. The recurring memory bothers her, though she does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Kokoro offers to hunt the Witch again with Masara. Masara flashes back to the previous fight and insists she will hunt it alone. She tells Kokoro she is a burden and that she does not like getting hurt. Masara leaves Kokoro crying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara tells Mitama what happened. Mitama suggests Masara was actually trying to protect Kokoro. Masara is at a loss and wonders why being around Kokoro causes her to get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro blames herself for causing Masara trouble. She senses the same Witch and, respecting Masara&#039;s wish to hunt alone, decides to fight it by herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help. Masara agrees and tells Kokoro to call her next time. When Kokoro worries about causing trouble, Masara insists she is doing it for herself, because she does not like seeing Kokoro get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Kokoro notices the summer festival flyer and asks if Masara is interested. Masara admits she is a little interested.

Kokoro and Masara are confused by her comment, which exasperates Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Konomi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi welcomes Kaede and Kako to the flower shop where she works part-time. She began working at Blossom because the florist once comforted her as a crying child with a single flower, and now Konomi does the same for other children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konomi Haruna#Side Story|Konomi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a customer leaves, Kaede and Kako help the florist carry supplies. The florist recently returned from the hospital, having survived a serious illness.

Desperate to help, she wished to Kyubey to cure the florist&#039;s illness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;!--The Flashback: Their First Meeting--&amp;gt;Kaede and Kako visit the shop for the first time. Kako searches for a specific flower, which Konomi identifies. During tea break, Kako explains she read about the flowers in a novel and wants to buy some for a friend&#039;s birthday. Kaede admits she has never given flowers but receiving them once felt wonderful. Konomi smiles and says she has an idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of the flower giveaway, Konomi, Kaede, and Kako take to the streets, suddenly appearing to hand bouquets to strangers before disappearing. A lottery winner, a despairing old man, and a boy who just got a girl&#039;s number all receive flowers. Later, the girls reunite. Kaede gave to ten people, Kako to thirteen. Konomi apologizes, but they agree to try again the day after tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Konomi, Kaede, and Kako realize they are the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi panics, fearing they have made people hate flowers. They notice a little girl crying because her mother refused to buy her a toy ring. Konomi offers a flower, but the girl wants a ring. Kako fashions the flower into a ring, and the girl calls it pretty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi realizes they have been giving flowers without understanding what recipients truly want. She decides to create something more meaningful. Inspired by Kaede&#039;s mention of birthday flowers and Kako&#039;s knowledge of flower language, they plan an arrangement that speaks to people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi and the girls create a birthday cake made of fifty flowers, with chocolate and candy inside. The cake incorporates birth flowers so greetings can be communicated through their language. They prepare a fair at the shop to showcase it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi shows the cake to the florist, who gives a muted reaction and announces her retirement, planning to leave Konomi the shop.

===Rika&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Hinano, Emiri, Ria, Manaka, Akira&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Rika is invited to a blind date by Emiri Kisaki, who brings along Hinano Miyako, a girl recently heartbroken. When the boys on the date mock Hinano&#039;s youthful appearance and odd way of speaking, Rika surprises her by defending them. Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her. Emiri and Rika quickly reassure Hinano, with Rika adding that Hinano is actually cool for having been able to confess her feelings—unlike Rika, who never confessed at all and watched her crush end up with someone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri then suggests Rika should make a wish, revealing that she and Hinano are magical girls who each received one wish in exchange for fighting monsters. Rika wonders if this is some kind of game. Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika muses that her wish was granted and she is now dating her crush, yet she feels deeply unhappy. When Kyubey asks what is wrong, she admits that every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens with unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day, Mayu is a third-year student at Mizuna Academy who works part-time at the Kamihama Contemporary Art Museum. When she accidentally breaks the museum director&#039;s cup, her boss handles the situation calmly and kindly. After work, she meets her friend Sayuki Fumino outside the museum, and when Sayuki cannot stay, Mayu&#039;s boss offers to accompany her to an exhibit instead. They later go to a cafe, where Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi are also present. Ria grows increasingly annoyed overhearing Mayu&#039;s conversation with her boss, particularly when he hints at wanting to take her somewhere else and praises her cooking. At home that evening, Mayu cooks for her mother and asks if her father would have eaten her cooking, wondering what life would be like if he were still alive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayu Kozue#Side Story|Mayu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at school, Mayu talks with Sayuki about the sword exhibit. She then heads to work, and after her shift ends, her boss mentions his wife and child are away and invites her out to eat. Mayu declines. As she leaves, she forgets her phone, and her boss rushes to return it, asking again about dinner with growing intensity. Ria suddenly appears and bumps into him, yelling at them for flirting and demanding they sit for a lecture. Mayu&#039;s boss says she ruined it and leaves. Ria warns Mayu that her sweet, innocent air attracts older men and that if things continue, his family will fall apart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home that night, Mayu reflects on the day she learned of her father&#039;s death and on Ria&#039;s words. Kyubey appears and offers a contract. Thinking she does not want her boss&#039;s family to suffer the same hardship her family did, Mayu makes her wish: to stop his family from breaking apart. That night, she narrates that her boss transferred to a new job, and she is sure her wish was granted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later at school, Mayu finds boys have started hitting on her. Ria constantly steps in to drive them off. Before Ria can finish telling Mayu to shape up, they both sense a Witch. The girls reveal they are Magical Girls, and they track the Witch to the museum&#039;s special exhibit room. Sayuki suddenly appears and reveals she is also a Magical Girl. During the fight, Mayu notices the Witch only targets Ria. She asks Sayuki to lend her strength and launches a surprise attack, destroying the Witch. Afterward, Mayu thinks that to protect people she must think clearly before acting, and Ria admits Mayu was more reliable than usual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As a child, Sayuki attends an idol performance with her parents, but when the crowd becomes dangerously wild, she is almost squeezed to death, leaving her with lasting trauma.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayuki Fumino#Side Story|Sayuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Growing up in a happy family, Sayuki develops a deep interest in katanas that creates a gap between her and her classmates. Though they respect her passion, she feels lonely without someone to share it with. This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert. Sayuki believes speaking out is important no matter the outcome and swears to protect the kind people who have been kind to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka. Moka thanks Alina for saving her and says she has now made new friends, resolving to devote herself to exterminating witches and admitting she is only a little afraid of them now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Sis replies promptly. She explains she wanted to contact Riko but left home after arguing with her father and thought a visit would be awkward. She also reveals she was hospitalized to give birth and only discharged that day, inviting Riko to come see her instead. When Riko asks her parents for permission, expecting them to refuse, they apologize sincerely and grant permission for the trip.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Riko visits Sis with her parents. Sis introduces her husband and newborn daughter, hoping Riko will get along with her child just as they once got along. Riko makes a silent promise to be a good sister to this baby and aims to grow into a fine lady, just like Sis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maria&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Maria bids her parents goodbye for the day. Her mother gives her money for dinner, which Maria insists on keeping only a small portion of, and Maria mentions she will be at her part‑time daycare job after school. On her way to school, she runs into two little girls, one of whom attends the daycare where she works.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the daycare, the children swarm Maria with requests. She notices a boy named Shin‑kun looking down and tries to find out what is wrong, but he does not want to talk. Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work. Maria suggests she spend a day with Shin to reconnect, and Shin’s mother agrees. Maria promises to put together a plan by the weekend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Maria’s classmates tease her about being a widow with a love child, and she plays along before explaining she is helping a mother and son from the daycare. Later she presents her weekend plans to Shin’s mother, who is impressed and begins looking forward to the outing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, Maria goes to the park where she knows Shin and his mother should be. She watches as they struggle to connect: Shin wants to play in a fountain, but his mother cannot explain why he should not, and they end up standing awkwardly. Maria pretends to run into them and decides to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to the playground, where Maria encourages Shin to try a tightrope bridge. When he gets nervous, she prompts his mother to take his hand, and together they cross. After lunch, Shin’s mother gets a call from work asking her to come in on her day off. She agrees, and Shin looks heartbroken. Maria offers to watch Shin until dark, and his mother gratefully accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria takes Shin to various places, and he sadly remarks that his mother is too busy for him. Understanding his loneliness, Maria vows to make the day special. At the aquarium she convinces him to see a show he ends up loving. As evening falls, they stop for takoyaki, and Maria explains that his mother tells him not to eat while walking for good reasons. Shin finally understands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shin’s mother appears, explaining work no longer needs her. She admits she has trouble expressing herself, but Shin overhears and hugs her. They both confess they thought the other did not love them. Maria shares that she was often lonely as a child but still loved her parents, and she tells Shin’s mother she does not need to be perfect. Shin shows his mother the souvenir and the last piece of takoyaki he saved for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As darkness falls, Maria walks home alone. She reflects on whether she could ever be a good mother, remembering Kyubey’s revelation that her Soul Gem is her actual soul and her body is merely a vessel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mel stays home after her reading warns of lethal danger, but Kanagi dismisses her concerns and drags her to school anyway. On the way, a Witch targets only Mel before escaping, and a possessed car then attempts to run her down. She flees west into the Mizuno region, where Yachiyo saves her. Despite Kanagi&#039;s warnings about discrimination from the West, Yachiyo&#039;s kindness puts her at ease, and Mel accepts her invitation to stay. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she requests to join Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kanagi gives permission. From that day, Mel bonds with Mifuyu, Tsuruno, and Momoko as part of her new team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One other day, Mel arrives excitedly with entirely positive readings and offers to read the team&#039;s fortunes. Despite Yachiyo&#039;s skepticism, Mel coaxes her into a session predicting a career breakthrough.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Yachiyo announces with disbelief that she was chosen for a nationwide magazine feature on Kamihama&#039;s cafes. Mifuyu and Momoko then receive positive readings about a matchmaking and exam results.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes. Afterward they visit Mitama, who suggests they train in Endless Mirrors if they plan to remain independent rather than join Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Temari and Mikura commute to school exhausted. Temari stayed up testing a new metal pen, and Mikura correctly guesses she is in modern literature mode.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Temari is distracted thinking about Witch strategies while Mikura worries about Seira, who had fallen asleep in class from exhaustion. Seira joins them, and Temari suggests they create their own space to escape the stress of magical girl life. Seira proposes forming a school club where they can pursue their hobbies freely, and they agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Seira secures an empty classroom as a provisional club room under the name Historical Research Club. On paper they study history, but in reality it becomes their oasis for reading, watching films, and relaxing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the girls are enjoying their club activities, yet Temari still feels unsettled about not knowing her magic. Mikura reflects that they have been following Temari’s suggestions lately—staying independent, creating the club—but says she will mention it if she notices anything. When Mikura asks what Temari is reading, Temari replies she is still on the same author, and Mikura calls her as unpredictable as ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hotori&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Last part is after the tea drinking moon party&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hotori and her twin Rion prepare for a school camping trip. Hotori gets distracted watching her favorite sentai show, Dragoon Red, and Rion teases her for still liking children’s fantasy. Hotori wants to bring her notebook of heroic quotes, but Rion tells her not to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At school, Rion tries to stay with Hotori and gets scolded by the teacher. Hotori is relieved to have time away from her sister. Her classmates notice her notebook and encourage her to become who she wants to be.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At camp, Hotori’s group hikes through the forest. She is frightened by insects, and when Rion appears and drives her friends away, Hotori ends up scolded for letting her sister interfere. Reading quotes from her heroes, she manages to calm herself and finishes the hike feeling she has changed a little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During archery, Hotori struggles to pull the bowstring but remembers Dragoon Red’s words about perseverance and manages to shoot. Rion performs better, but Hotori’s friends cheer her up. Rion later mentions the night’s test of courage, and though Hotori is scared, she refuses to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the test, Hotori freezes after a scare. Rion mocks her and escorts her to the finish line. There Hotori realizes she left her notebook behind; Rion goes back to retrieve it but does not return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotori lies to the teachers and searches the forest. She finds Kyubey, who offers her a contract: any wish in exchange for becoming a magical girl who fights witches. When she finds Rion acting strangely, Kyubey explains Rion has a witch’s kiss. Rion enters a witch’s barrier, and Hotori follows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Terrified but thinking of Dragoon Red’s words, Hotori makes her wish: “I wish to be a hero strong enough to protect Rion.” She defeats the witch alone, saves Rion, and is relieved when her sister wakes up safe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Months later, Hotori now fights witches with a team. During one battle she freezes and is saved by Rion and Yukika Nanase. Yukika asks about Hotori’s notebook, and Hotori explains she wants to be brave like the sentai heroes. Yukika privately knows the truth from another timeline: the twins’ memories were altered by Rion’s wish, and Hotori’s original wish may have been to become strong enough to protect Rion. Hotori, unaware, continues striving to be a hero.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Meguru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Meguru joins the Broadcasting Club, but her senpais later announce it will close due to low membership. Though she feigns indifference, she secretly wants the club to remain so she can pursue her dream of becoming a popular MC. When Kyubey appears, she wishes to become a popular mistress of ceremonies in exchange for becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After her wish, she discovers she can narrate events with unusual power, accidentally motivating classmates. She is drawn into a witch’s labyrinth and rescued by Momoko Togame, who takes her to Mitama Yakumo. Momoko suspects Meguru’s magic strengthened the witch. Mitama asks Meguru to act as MC for an event in the Mirror Witch’s barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the barrier, Meguru narrates battles for Tsuruno Yui, Meiyui Chun, and Akira Shinobu, but her words also empower their mirror copies. After struggling to control her magic, she successfully motivates the originals to win. The group agrees she has a gift for motivating others, though they must flee when more copies appear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Eternal Sakura begins as a story Iroha tells to Ui, Touka, and Nemu at the hospital—a tale of a girl waiting by a sakura tree to reunite with her three friends. Nemu loves it so much she writes it down, naming it the Eternal Sakura of Promises. That is Sakura&#039;s beginning, though she is only words in a notebook.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Nemu moves the Eternal Sakura and many other stories into a different book, rewriting them as Rumors and breathing her own lifeforce into them. They become real beings, freed but also bound to their rumors. Time passes, and the Eternal Sakura watches as other Rumors are destroyed. She alone keeps her physical form. When Walpurgisnacht attacks and the crisis ends, Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu finally come to her meadow, reunited at last. The sakura tree bursts into bloom. All the Rumors now live together in Nemu&#039;s book, with the Eternal Sakura as the only one who can venture outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* At Kosho Academy, Seira Mihono searches for a protagonist with a secret for her new film. Her classmates suggest Rui, a mysterious girl who never talks about herself.

===Akari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari wakes Hotaru after school. Hotaru notices Akari&#039;s Puchi-Usa keychain, which Haruto drew for her when she was young. Akari decides to tell Hotaru about her wish and how she became a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akari Mai#Side Story|Akari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari explains that she has always loved Haruto, but he treats her only as a little sister. When Haruto entered high school, he stopped walking with her due to club activities. Akari heard a rumor that Haruto was dating his club manager. Distressed, she wished to Kyubey to become 16 years old like Mimiko-chan, the transforming heroine she admired.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her wish only allowed her to transform temporarily. She turned back into an elementary schooler afterward. Akari regretted not wishing for everyone to perceive her as 16 from the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Akari patrolled for Witches and found Haruto under a Witch&#039;s Kiss. She saved him in her 16-year-old form. Haruto did not recognize her and thanked her as a stranger. He gave her his jacket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari returned Haruto&#039;s jacket, claiming a stranger asked her to return it. Haruto admitted he had fallen in love with the girl who saved him—not realizing it was Akari.

* The bunny Nene died. Akari cried. Haruto came to give her a new Puchi-Usa keychain but hid it when he saw her crying. He comforted her and told her it was okay to cry. Akari loved his kindness and subtle thoughtfulness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari ran into Haruto while patrolling. Haruto was looking for the 16-year-old girl. Akari became jealous and badmouthed her 16-year-old self, calling her suspicious and a liar. Haruto got angry at Akari for speaking ill of someone she did not know. Akari ran away, feeling she was not worthy of him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari hid in an alley. Haruto came looking for her. A Witch appeared, and Haruto was under another Witch&#039;s Kiss. Hotaru appeared and caught Haruto with a pillow before he could jump. Hotaru and Akari defeated the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotaru revealed she had been watching over Akari since the bunny hutch. She told Akari that her kindness was one of her good points. Akari realized the 16-year-old version Haruto fell for was still a part of her. Hotaru encouraged her to apologize properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari, still in her 16-year-old form, lied to Haruto that she had taken Akari under her protection. Haruto was relieved and admitted he was too harsh with Akari. He said he did not want her to become someone who speaks ill of others. Akari apologized to Haruto in person. Haruto forgave her and said he was proud of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari resolved to become a wonderful adult on her own, without magic, and capture Haruto&#039;s heart when she was truly 16. She thanked Hotaru for giving her the push to apologize but Hotaru fell asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ryoko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryoko’s story begins at Suitoku Temple, the Tokime Tribe’s base, which was slated for demolition while officials hid the harm it would cause. Though she is from a neighboring town, Ryoko is bound to the tribe by blood, and she makes a wish to disclose the demolition details—saving the temple. Raised by her grandfather in a strict Buddhist temple, she is told her mother was a hero who saved the country yet died and left her behind. Ryoko grows to resent heroism, viewing it as empty fame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Her cynicism is tested when Moka Megumi tries to save a drowning kitten despite being unable to swim. Ryoko rescues her and asks why; Moka says she simply cannot stand someone dying on her watch.

===Kush&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama’s adjuster shop, Karin Misono finds Kush sleeping inside the tent. Mitama explains that Kush cannot stay awake during the day due to her wish: “I just want the morning to never come.” Kush reveals she made her wish because she longed to live in a fantasy world like the one in her favorite book, &#039;Good‑Bye Fable,&#039; and her magical girl outfit resembles the story’s protagonist. Ui Tamaki and Little Kyubey arrive, and Kush briefly attacks Little Kyubey, mistaking him for the Kyubey she despises. Over tea, Mitama notices Kush’s long canine teeth stained red and later receives a message from her sister Mikage about a rumor of a vampire girl in the Hokuyo Mountains. Karin and Kush agree to investigate together, but Kush runs off to her night class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, the two meet up with Riko Chiaki and Ashley Taylor, who are making a horror video about the same rumor. The group searches the mountains at night. Kush can see in the dark and leads them, but she is still sleepy. They find a discarded camera containing a video of Rui Mizuki dropping it and disappearing. When a mysterious sound frightens the others, they accidentally leave Kush behind. Left alone, Kush eats cherry tomatoes and senses a witch. The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one. They also learn that Rui is Kush’s friend; she had filmed Kush entering the barrier before being caught by it. The group later glimpses a white‑haired silhouette and flees, thinking a real vampire might exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley posts a video warning others to stay away from the mountains. At Mitama’s shop, Ui hears about the incident and learns the vampire was just a misunderstanding.

===Homura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Homura Akemi in Magia Record#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is flooded with more memories of her other self preparing for Walpurgisnacht with allies. She wonders if there might be a real possibility for salvation in this timeline, where no one has to be sacrificed. However, she believes it has nothing to do with her. She breaks out of the labyrinth and the dream ends. Kyubey asks if she was curious about what happened to her other self. Homura says it does not matter; she believes in Madoka&#039;s words that her efforts will not be in vain. A new universe is about to be born, and Homura must protect it for Madoka&#039;s sake. Kyubey states they will both forget Madoka, but Homura is determined to never forget her.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new universe where Witches do not exist, Kyoko is surprised to find Sayaka has disappeared. Mami explains the Law of Cycles causes Magical Girls to disappear when they lose hope. Homura cries as she remembers Madoka, but neither Mami nor Kyoko know who Madoka is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka spend the day together in Kamihama, enjoying each other’s company until they encounter Ria Ami, a model and magical girl who has already defeated the witch they were tracking. Ria invites them to tea and later takes them to the fashion district, where she notices that Homura’s attention never leaves Madoka. Admitting her jealousy, Ria says she wishes someone would look at her the same way, and Homura replies that she will protect Madoka. After Ria departs, Homura thinks that even if Madoka does not realize how cool she is, she will still save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Homura steals weapons from a group called the Soukaihou using her time stop, but she is caught afterward by Meiyui Chun, a magical girl affiliated with the group. Instead of punishing her, Meiyui thanks her for taking weapons that belonged to troublemakers and invites Homura to share mapo tofu. Over the meal, Meiyui learns Homura fights to protect someone precious to her and says she understands, offering her support and suggesting the spicy dish whenever the burden becomes too painful to bear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Homura is practicing her shooting alone when Natsuki Utsuho, a magical girl who cheers for others, offers to encourage her. Natsuki deduces Homura’s time stop ability and gives advice that significantly improves her aim. When Natsuki suggests Homura ask Mami to coach her, Homura calls, and Mami arrives within an hour. Mami uses her ribbons to move within Homura’s time stop during a sparring match, praising her rapid progress afterward. Homura agrees to return to Mitakihara with Mami, reflecting that she will keep moving forward to become a magical girl capable of protecting Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On a Saturday, Sayaka arrives in Kamihama City to go shopping with Kyosuke Kamijou, though she insists it is not a date. When she hears a scream, she runs toward it and discovers Hinano Miyako at an empty elementary school. Hinano explains she was bumped on the head while setting up the chemistry lab, and Sayaka decides to help investigate. They find the culprit was a baseball that flew through the window from the baseball club practicing outside. Hinano returns the ball to a child and gives Sayaka a perfume she made, wishing her good luck on her date despite Sayaka&#039;s protests.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After realizing Sayaka is not Hinano, Emiri offers to coordinate her wardrobe, claiming to be the &amp;quot;Cutest in the World.&amp;quot; Sayaka learns Emiri is also a magical girl but remains unsatisfied with the outfit suggestions, explaining the person she likes does not care about appearances. Emiri takes her to the top of a tower, where they view the city at night. Sayaka thanks her before heading to the train station, reflecting that her love is supported by the magical girls of Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the outing with Kyosuke arrives. After buying a CD, Kyosuke messages that his train is delayed. Sayaka fights a Witch she senses and meets Kokoro Awane, defeating it together. With time to spare, Kokoro invites her for tea. Sayaka shares that she became a magical girl to heal someone she loves, and Kokoro reveals she wished to bring her family together. Though problems remain, Kokoro believes she can unite them through her own power, and Sayaka finds strength in her words. When Kyosuke is about to arrive, Kokoro encourages her, and Sayaka runs to the station, feeling it will be a good day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ultimate&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart. She also finds Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, who were never supposed to become magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Panicking because she cannot prevent magical girls from becoming witches in this universe, Madoka investigates. She discovers the source blocking her intervention originated when the Holy Quintet first visited Kamihama, and she observes how Touka and Nemu—fated to die in every other universe—are alive and plotting with the Magius to lure Walpurgis Night to hatch Eve. Madoka reflects that their plan, if successful, would achieve what she herself accomplished. Unsure whether to intervene, she decides to investigate further and chooses Iroha as her next focal point, since this is the only universe where Iroha contracted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka observes Iroha’s past and finds the singular difference: on a normal day, Iroha took her usual shortcut but accidentally kicked a small pebble, nearly making her late. This tiny butterfly effect led to Iroha contracting and Ui, Nemu, and Touka surviving, derailing the universe’s fate. Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka decides not to interfere, fearing a clash that could destroy the universe. However, she laments that she may have no choice but to trample Iroha’s wish if this universe, now a singularity, threatens the stability of all other universes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When Kirika kills another magical girl, Oriko decides to use the murders to further distract Kyubey from Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Oriko Mikuni in Magia Record#Side Story|Oriko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Oriko has another vision revealing that Madoka is not in Mitakihara but somewhere else entirely. She witnesses a spatial distortion connecting Mitakihara to Kamihama City and begins to suspect Kamihama might hold the key to changing the future. Oriko sends Kirika to Kamihama under the pretense of buying tea, instructing her to gather information from Mami and other magical girls there. She then takes Yuma to Kamihama herself, leaving her inside a witch barrier knowing Kyoko will come to rescue her. While exploring Kamihama for answers, Oriko nearly dies inside a powerful witch barrier and realizes she needs Kirika&#039;s help to continue. Kirika eventually returns home safely, reporting that Mami and Kyoko are also investigating Kamihama and that the city has an unusually high number of witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They film their first video, but Yachiyo says it is too ordinary. Sana suggests making it more unique. Ui wants to introduce everyone at Mikazuki Villa to their parents. Iroha agrees. They try filming again with a script, but the takes go poorly—Yachiyo overthinks her cooking scene, Felicia struggles to tutor Ui, and Tsuruno is late. Ui suggests they abandon the script and just be themselves. They record a video of their daily life together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* After Mitakihara City’s school closing ceremony, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura walk out together. Sayaka is glad the term is over, Madoka is excited, and Homura admits she will feel lonely without seeing them every day. Sayaka ruffles her hair and says they can still meet over break, whether hunting witches or hanging out. Madoka suggests visiting Mizuna Shrine in Kamihama for New Year’s to draw “Ultimate Fortunes.” Sayaka has other plans but encourages them to go together. After she leaves, Madoka asks Homura if she knows how to put on formal wear. Homura does not, so Madoka invites her to a kimono‑dressing class she found, saying she wanted the two of them to dress up with Sayaka but lacked the courage to go alone. Homura agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class, the instructor dresses them first; Madoka thinks Homura looks beautiful, and Homura calls Madoka cute. When the actual lesson begins, Madoka struggles badly and trips, while Homura learns quickly enough that the instructor says she will have no trouble. Madoka takes a break outside, feeling useless. Sayaka happens by and asks why she wanted to dress up in the first place - to have fun. Sayaka tells her not to overthink; even if she makes mistakes, she will still have the memories. Encouraged, Madoka returns and finally manages to dress herself after another trip.&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year’s Day, both have their formal wear put on at a store. They joke that the class was interesting but not very useful for the real occasion.

* Homura and Madoka find themselves trapped in a strange dream—a life-sized board game set across Kamihama City. They must reach the goal by following the game&#039;s rules.

They meet Aimi, who found a plain notebook with no name. Aimi worries it is someone&#039;s secret fantasy diary and does not want to read it. They take it to the Information Desk and complete the mission. Aimi mentions she is shopping for materials to knit a scarf or gloves for a boy named Hayato.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They try to find Tsukasa but fail. The mission fails again, and they are sent back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Third Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes: buy a lucky bag costing one million Magica. They search for a store and take a break at a cafe. They see Ria being interviewed and overhear a boy named Hayato saying he needs a warmer scarf. They find Kokoro and Masara, who lead them to a stationery lucky bag. Kokoro mentions Tsukasa is still looking for Tsukuyo. Madoka wants to help Tsukasa, and Homura agrees. They find Tsukuyo, who has been wandering and dropped something important. They learn Tsukuyo dropped her exchange diary with Tsukasa—the same notebook Aimi found. The mission completes, but they are sent back to the start again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Sayaka learns the meaning of &amp;quot;When winter comes, spring isn&#039;t far behind&amp;quot; at the end of December. Just before New Year&#039;s Eve, Madoka asks if anyone has plans for the holiday. Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko and Nagisa meet the teacher and children at the park. The kids immediately recognize Kyoko, so the pair double down on the movie lie. The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the performance, Kyoko and Sayaka use quick‑change costumes while Nagisa sneaks discarded clothes off set. The children are awed by the glowing weapons and effects, explained with lighting tricks and soap bubbles. After the class leaves, the group reviews the footage and decides to keep a copy. Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko returns the props to Sayuki, then visits an aquarium to pass time. As she leaves, she spots the same kindergarteners, detects a witch, and rushes to fight it. She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She is hunting for discounted Valentine&#039;s chocolate. She visits Sugar Plum but finds the chocolate coins sold out. She runs into Kyoko.

They form an alliance to share information and split the chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe (Valentine)#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Valentine Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Pink Tapir station store, a clerk informs them the sale has moved to a new outlet location and gives them a map. On the way, a delivery truck carrying the chocolate coins is possessed by a Witch&#039;s Kiss and goes on a rampage. Nagisa and Kyoko chase it, jump onto the truck, and enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Nagisa uses her forbidden technique to defeat the Witch. The truck and other vehicles are unharmed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the outlet store and buy the chocolate coins. Nagisa reflects on her memory of eating Pink Tapir chocolate coins for the first time at a hospital charity event when her mother was sick. She wonders if this universe&#039;s Nagisa would have had the same experience. She and Kyoko hurry to Mami&#039;s chocolate party. Kyoko reveals she bought a chocolate cake from Sugar Plum for everyone. Nagisa shares her pink chocolate coins. Mami is happy they are getting along. The next day, the chocolate hunt continues. At the outlet store, Ms. Saotome buys chocolate coins for a hospital charity event, continuing the tradition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They have more fun than they expected, but Tsukuyo suffers a heat stroke and is cared for by the group after Tsukasa panics. When Tsukasa tries to repay the favor, Yachiyo jokes that she should quit the Wings of Magius, then smiles when Tsukasa refuses as expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

** That night, Yachiyo and Tsuruno return home to find the lights off. Everyone surprises them with a handmade Milky Way made of paper stars. They call it the Mikazuki Way. They also show the edited home video featuring everyone&#039;s messages of gratitude. Yachiyo is moved to tears. She thanks them all, saying she is so happy they are always with her. She says this is the best present ever. Tsuruno turns the stars back on and they enjoy their very own Milky Way. Yachiyo says she never expected her tears would be those of joy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede, Rena, and Momoko have picked out new swimsuits. Momoko could not buy one because she spent her allowance on a concert tour. They decide to go to the beach together. Kaede mentions that Mikazuki Villa is renting a lodge for a study camp. Rena asks Yachiyo if they can join. Yachiyo agrees. They arrive at the lodge. Yachiyo announces that everyone must complete ten pages of homework per subject per day before they can play.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rena &amp;amp; Kaede (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena negotiates with Yachiyo: if they can finish all three days&#039; worth of homework in one day, they can play at the beach tomorrow. Everyone agrees. They study hard together. Rena suggests a reward system to stay motivated. They shout encouragement like at an idol concert. Yachiyo and Momoko help with difficult problems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By evening, everyone has met their quota. Rena and Kaede rush to the beach. But Rena has eaten too much chocolate and feels bloated. She is embarrassed and refuses to go swimming. She goes to bed early.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rena, Kaede, and Momoko finally play at the beach. Mitama, Kanagi, and Mifuyu visit. Mitama has brought homemade rice balls as a reward. To decide who gets them, they hold a fishing contest. Rena and Kaede catch a pufferfish but come in second place. Kanagi wins first place and gets stuck with Mitama&#039;s cooking. Mifuyu is affected first. Rena and Kaede eat the remaining Mitama musubi and feel sick. They rest for the rest of the afternoon. Yachiyo goes shopping alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Rena and Kaede notice Yachiyo acting strange. They follow her and find her with fireworks. Yachiyo admits she bought them for everyone but felt too shy to ask. Rena and Kaede insist on setting them off together. They gather everyone. The group enjoys fireworks on the beach. Rena and Kaede stay up late playing with the leftovers. Momoko reflects on how much they have changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They wake up past noon. There is only an hour before the bus leaves. They quickly change into swimsuits and race to the beach. Rena loses and buys everyone juice.

** They browse swimsuits, but Mitama insists on choosing thoughtfully rather than buying on a whim. They separate briefly, and Mitama runs into Mikage, deflecting questions about what she’s doing. Momoko later admits she also had to make excuses after running into Rena and Kaede. Instead of buying swimsuits, Mitama brings Momoko back for an adjustment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the adjustment, they emerge in new swimsuits—Momoko’s tailored perfectly to her tastes, leaving her flustered but secretly pleased. Mitama teases her and admits she’s nervous but excited.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On contest day, Mitama and Momoko play on the beach. They learn the contest requires performing a shared beach memory with chemistry. They plan to tell the story of Mitama’s deserted island ordeal while Momoko adds her side of worrying. While playing, they fight a Witch together—the first time Mitama has teamed up with someone—then run straight into Rena, Kaede, and Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They win by performing the events of the day instead of their planned story. Rena claims the stuffed bunny, and Mikage gets the Candy World tickets, immediately inviting Mitama. Apologies are exchanged, and the others ask for no more secrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, while Mitama and Momoko clean up, Rena and Kaede take Mikage to get drinks. A girl from Mitama’s past confronts her: the one Mitama accidentally shoved down the stairs years ago. A crowd gathers, muttering rumors, but Momoko defends Mitama and the crowd disperses. The girl realizes it was an accident and offers to help clear Mitama’s name, but Mitama declines, saying she no longer needs it because she has someone who believes in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The group spends the day swimming, building a sandcastle, and splitting into smaller activities. While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond.

===Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story and Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
It has two versions I made, assimilate them if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well.

** At registration, Mitama announces all participants must wear swimwear, offering to transform their outfits for free. Homura is surprisingly excited, and Sayaka gets roped into wearing a ridiculous mushroom‑mermaid costume designed by Kanoko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka in her costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The non‑waterproof suit causes Sayaka to be electrocuted by its built‑in fan, but her Doppel activates and saves her. The Doppel drags Yachiyo into the water, and Yachiyo begins water‑skiing using her fishing rod while being pulled around.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura manages to fish up the Doppel and wins the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other&#039;s backs. Homura happily agrees, ending the day on a warm note.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Homura confronts her Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying summer and relying on Madoka’s kindness. The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurads&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura visit a seaside villa on the outskirts of Kamihama. They meet Felicia and her friends briefly. After parting ways, they decide to visit an aquarium. They participate in an accessory-making workshop using star sand. Inside the aquarium, they meet Ashley, an exchange student from the United States, and Riko. Ashley recognizes them as Magical Girls from Mitakihara because she encountered their copies in Endless Mirrors. They chat and learn Ashley is making videos about kawaii things in Japan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Waverider)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After parting ways with Ashley and Riko, Sayaka wants to visit a CD store. She hopes to find rare CDs for Kyosuke. At the store, she reaches for the same CD as a woman. They discover they both use notepads to track CDs. The woman is Takamine&#039;s wife—Takamine was a violinist who passed away. She collects his recordings to show her daughter. They exchange contact information. Sayaka mentions the upcoming flea market.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Sayaka&#039;s group meets Takamine&#039;s wife and daughter. A strong wind blows the daughter&#039;s hat into the ocean. Sayaka and Kyoko transform into swimsuits and ride a surfboard to retrieve it, using Nagisa&#039;s floaty as a distraction. The hat is recovered. Takamine&#039;s wife realizes she lost her notepad. Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while waiting, Nagisa and Riko play with water guns. Sayaka&#039;s group relaxes on the beach. Madoka and Homura find Sayaka&#039;s copy in Mirrors. The copy lures them into a trap, but they manage to get the CD list from her and escape. They send it to Sayaka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring. They plan for future fights: Sayaka will handle Familiars, Madoka and Homura will immobilize the Witch, and Mami will finish it off. Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the team encounters a paramedic and a girl under a Witch&#039;s influence. They enter the Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. The paramedic wakes up and thanks them and the team slips away quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of school after summer vacation, Mami calls Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura to the roof. Kyoko and Nagisa fought a powerful Witch and retreated. They warn the others and the team meets to plan. Kyoko and Nagisa will immobilize the Witch while Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura handle the Familiars. Mami will finish it off with her new firework attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The ext morning, the Witch appears and the team executes their plan. Mami uses a powerful firework attack, which she names &amp;quot;Fiore Finale,&amp;quot; to defeat the Witch. They rescue the captured people. A paramedic from earlier recognizes them and offers to take care of the victims. The team rushes to school but is late.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A taxi driver from the previous encounter sees them and gives them a ride. He thanks them for protecting the town. They arrive at school just in time.

===Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko invites Homura, Mami, Sayaka, and Madoka to the beach using tickets Mitama gave her after another accidental transformation into her magical swimsuit. The group swims, then Kyoko dominates the buffet. They discover a cliff diving spot, where Sayaka, Mami, and Kyoko take turns jumping while Madoka and Homura watch. They agree to return the day after next, since Madoka is busy the following day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kyoko asks Mitama to let her keep the swimsuit form for the summer, then heads to the beach alone. There she finds Ui Tamaki practicing swimming by herself, desperate to learn by the next day so she can join her family cliff diving. Kyoko watches over her, and later Sayaka arrives to help. Ui improves, but a rip current nearly sweeps her away; Kyoko rescues her. Moved by Ui’s determination, Kyoko keeps training her until sunset, and Ui finally masters swimming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully. Later, Kyoko visits Mitama to revert her outfit, explaining she wants to learn swimming properly rather than relying on magic. She trades a Grief Seed for money to buy ramune as payment for a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Eternal Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Momoko Togame (Sanctified)#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi meet again. Mitama shares her realization: her grief has ended. She now wants to make amends and carve a new future for Kamihama. They discuss ideas for the student conference. Kanagi suggests a sports festival. Mitama suggests a festival with food stalls. They joke about romance and love interests. Mitama feels lighter and ready to move forward. She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Touka and Nemu separately sneak to Ui’s room to leave apology notes. They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the real world, Tsuruno gives gelato to Ui and Felicia. Ui is absorbed in playing a game called &amp;quot;Little Vacation&amp;quot; on Tsuruno&#039;s phone. The game follows Tsuruno and Felicia as Reindeer Santas traveling to reach the End of the World and the Wishing Star.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia (Special Delivery)#Side Story|Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno uses the Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a hint: &amp;quot;The key is something you don&#039;t know the importance of until it&#039;s gone. This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They leave, having failed to deliver smiles for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Town of Miraculous ☆ Prestidigitations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the next town. They meet Mitama, a magician performing tricks, and twins Rion and Hotori. Mitama attempts to teleport Hotori but accidentally duplicates her. There are now two Hotoris. Tsuruno and Felicia try to help. The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win. The duplicates are left behind. The single Tsuruno who lost is left alone without Reindeer-san #2 or the Okamochi Box. She decides to continue traveling anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; The three Tsurunos reunite and discuss the hints from the Okamochi Box. They realize &amp;quot;three heads are better than one&amp;quot; refers to them working together to solve the Maze Town puzzle.

*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game.

===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents. Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia return home and ask to hear the full story, so Yachiyo retrieves the scarf from the time capsule where she had hidden it years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Holy Mami claims she has learned the truth about magical girls from Alina Gray and Touka Satomi and has found a way to save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami has tea with Touka and Alina at a house rented for her by Touka. Mami explains she has not returned to Mitakihara because her priority is releasing magical girls. Touka and Alina offer to lecture her on what she needs to study. Alina grows disturbingly excited discussing van Gogh&#039;s Sunflowers, and Touka lectures at length on mathematics until Alina interrupts. Mami reassures them she will ask for help when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina receives a call from the Amane sisters requesting help with a Witch. Touka asks Mami to assist, explaining she has a lecture to give at noon to recruit skilled magical girls. Mami agrees, reflecting that releasing magical girls requires Grief Seeds, protecting Rumors, and raising Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane waiting for her. They explain the Witch has moved and the Black Feathers are monitoring it. A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When she mentions she will spend Christmas Eve at the aquarium with a friend, her friends press to join, but Rika refuses. She advises them not to look for boyfriends just to avoid being alone. Later, while walking with her friends, Rika spots Ren chasing after Aimi Eri. She follows and finds Ren comforting Aimi over a misunderstanding involving a boy; the situation resolves without trouble.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Ren waits for Rika, who messages that she overslept with a fever. Ren worries Rika became sick chasing after her the day before. Before she can reply, Aimi finds her, and they go shopping together. Aimi encourages Ren to visit Rika instead of staying apart. Ren goes to Rika’s house, knocks on her window, and insists they spend Christmas together there so Rika can rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They exchange gifts: Ren gives Rika scented candles, having noticed Rika’s interest from a sticky note, and Rika gives Ren a glass candlestick. Rika hopes they can visit the aquarium another time, and Ren leaves happy to have shared Christmas with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, assimilate them if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumor Tsuruno begins designing the park, adding a merry-go-round, roller coaster, spa, shops, and a cafe. The mascots warn that once the park is complete, she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world. Rumor Tsuruno claims no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she imagines comfort foods with hot pot as the main star, she is reminded of Mikazuki Villa. She brushes it off and completes the park. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Uwasa Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana looks at a Mr. Purrs-a-lot picture book and feels down. Ui notices and asks what is wrong. Sana admits she wants to become a picture book author to help people who are suffering like she once was. She has many ideas but does not know how to write them. Ui encourages her. Sana says she is starting from zero and needs to practice writing. Ui suggests she settle on one main idea. Sana recalls a story about the Rice God from Yachiyo and decides to write a practice story about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana writes a story about the Rice God punishing Felicia for not finishing her rice. Ui enjoys it. Sana realizes she also needs to entertain readers while conveying her message. She decides her first picture book theme will be &amp;quot;friends.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana and Ui discuss the main character. Sana models her after Ai, the Uwasa of the Anonymous A.I. She names the heroine Aoi. Sana writes the first part of the story: Aoi leaves the &amp;quot;Land of Beginnings&amp;quot; and arrives at the &amp;quot;Land of Blessings,&amp;quot; where residents constantly fight. Aoi suggests a picnic to help them understand each other. The residents grow closer. Ui enjoys the story. Sana reveals she wants to leave behind proof of Ai&#039;s existence before she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana asks Nemu for permission to use a character modelled after Ai in her picture book. Nemu agrees, saying she is happy Sana wishes to preserve Ai. Nemu advises Sana on how to become a published author: enter contests or approach publishers directly. Sana becomes discouraged when she realizes she would have to interact with people who cannot see her. She leaves feeling hopeless.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana wanders alone, feeling invisible. She helps a girl find a lost ring but is not noticed. She thinks her dream is impossible. Tsuruno, Felicia, and Ui find her, worried because she was not answering calls. Iroha and Yachiyo also arrive. Nemu calls and suggests Sana could use an agent to communicate with publishers, avoiding direct meetings. Sana regains her resolve. Yachiyo tells her not to give up on her dream. Iroha and the others promise to support her. Sana realizes she has a family to help her get back up.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana finishes her first picture book, &amp;quot;A Small Encounter.&amp;quot; The story follows Shana, an invisible girl who is found by Aoi and makes her first friend. Sana decides to show it to everyone and get their thoughts. She promises to keep persevering for Ai&#039;s sake and for everyone who supports her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 1 (Flashback/Reflection)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi wakes from a nap and remembers the dream she had when fused with the Kimochi. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words that helped her realize she had not truly given up. Iroha told her that those who have given up do not fight, and that Lavi came to Kamihama because she still wanted to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro (Kimochi)#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects on the hope she once held—a daydream of a peaceful life where magical girls are understood. In that dream, she helped her mother, tended fields with her grandfather, watched Urara&#039;s street performances, and attended exhibitions with Shirogane. She encountered other magical girls: Asahi, Haitani, Kuroda, Urara, and Alexandra. They fought witches together and enjoyed everyday moments. Lavi realized she had locked away this hope because remembering it was painful. But now, through her connection with Iroha and her time with Nayuta, she has begun to see the future again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 2 (Daydream/Desired Future)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi dreams of a happy future where the Automatic Purification System has spread and peace has come. She, Nayuta, and Mikage go on a trip to Yukuni. They encounter many acquaintances: Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and Mikazuki Villa. Due to a scheduling mistake, everyone arrives at the same inn on the same day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** There is not enough premium beef for dinner. The groups compete in hot spring table tennis, karaoke, and pillow fights to decide who gets the meat. Yuna cheats in table tennis and is disqualified. The karaoke machine is outdated. The pillow fight becomes chaotic. Asahi saves the day with gibier meat. Everyone shares the meal and enjoys the evening together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects that this bustling, noisy future is unlike her usual self, but she realizes she has been yearning for it deep down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 3 (Reality/Current Time)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi teaches Nayuta cooking. They discuss their futures: Nayuta wants to study magical girls at a university different from her father&#039;s. Lavi wants to help at her family&#039;s inn while spreading magical girl activities. They plan a trip with Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Upon arriving at Cradle of the Earth in Yukuni, they encounter Mikazuki Villa, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and the Tokime Clan—just as in Lavi&#039;s dream. There is again not enough meat for dinner. Lavi is overwhelmed but also excited. She realizes that even if the past cannot be undone, they can move forward together and create a bright future. She announces they will compete over the meat and create a new future with all of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Yachiyo wakes at Mikazuki Villa and briefly senses Iroha&#039;s magical signature before it disappears. She sends Felicia and Sana off to school, then meets Momoko, Rena, and Kaede for lunch. Rena confesses she screamed in class, unable to contain her frustration that everyone has forgotten Iroha. Yachiyo realizes she had convinced herself she accepted Iroha&#039;s disappearance but had actually just given up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo meets with Mifuyu, Kanagi, and Hinano to discuss Magical Girls&#039; declining mental states. That evening, she finds Sana&#039;s discarded picture book manuscript.

Later, Yachiyo meets with Yuna, Shizuka, Himena, and Lavi to discuss the ongoing grief before departing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo attends the Kamihama Student Conference results meeting, where Mifuyu notes Rena has improved since seeing Iroha&#039;s signature. Yachiyo receives a call from Tsuruno: Felicia has run away. That evening, Felicia calls, planning to leave Kamihama to escape her guilt. Yachiyo tracks her location and rushes to the station with Tsuruno. Tsuruno finds Felicia, who confesses she cannot forget Iroha. Tsuruno shares Yachiyo&#039;s message: they should say &amp;quot;thank you&amp;quot; rather than &amp;quot;I&#039;m sorry.&amp;quot; Felicia agrees and returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome and Aru lead Yachiyo and Felicia to a location near the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Iroha&#039;s presence is stronger. Yachiyo suggests a picnic there. She leaves for a magazine interview, where she admits Iroha is no longer by her side. Later at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo attempts to make Iroha&#039;s hamburger steak recipe but is overwhelmed by grief and retreats to her room, admitting she fears she is breaking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Preparations for the picnic are underway. Yachiyo reveals her true purpose: she plans to use the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura to bring Iroha back by traveling through the Mirror Witch, even offering to take Iroha&#039;s place. When the others refuse to help, she attempts to go alone. Felicia uses her oblivion magic on Yachiyo and she forgets the plan entirely. Yachiyo continues preparing lunch as if nothing happened. They travel to the Rumor for the picnic. Along the way, Yachiyo asks the others to stop her if she ever loses control and tries something insane, admitting she can act on impulse when she loses composure. She also tells them they are all irreplaceable to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kanae arrives at Mikazuki Villa with a letter for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. While waiting for Yachiyo, she ends up having tea with the grandmother, who shares memories of Yachiyo and Mifuyu growing up—their failed surprise party, helping a lovesick university student, and Yachiyo standing up to Mifuyu&#039;s mother after a koto recital. Kanae grows emotional, feeling she only causes trouble compared to them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyoMifuyuStartingOutss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu (Starting Out)#Side Story|Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Iroha and Yachiyo go grocery shopping during a sale. Felicia sneaks an expensive cut of meat into the cart after Tsuruno quotes a show, forcing Yachiyo to buy it. Back home, Yachiyo punishes Felicia and Tsuruno by making them organize the storage room, where they find an old photo of Yachiyo with her former modeling group.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaYachiyoFinalBattless&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha &amp;amp; Yachiyo (Final Battle)#Side Story|Iroha &amp;amp; Yachiyo&#039;s Final Battle Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;

* Several days later, Iroha nervously practices posing at school. Rena, Momoko, and Kaede find her; Rena offers to help. Meanwhile, Yachiyo excitedly prepares for the shoot until Sana and Ui realize Iroha only accepted out of financial worry. Yachiyo finds Iroha training at a café and apologizes for pushing her. They clear up the misunderstanding, and Iroha decides to still try the shoot—but suggests they simply act natural together in front of the camera.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaYachiyoFinalBattless&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha &amp;amp; Yachiyo (Final Battle)#Side Story|Iroha &amp;amp; Yachiyo&#039;s Final Battle Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the shoot, Iroha admits it was a failure: she froze when they tried to be serious. Still, they had fun and kept a photo that shows their close bond. Because they didn’t get the job, the household faces a tight budget, much to Felicia and Tsuruno’s dismay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaYachiyoFinalBattless&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha &amp;amp; Yachiyo (Final Battle)#Side Story|Iroha &amp;amp; Yachiyo&#039;s Final Battle Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune. The Rumor says that if you receive the book and find a drawing of yourself, the sketched event will happen and if you try to stop it, a creature named Ketch drags you into the book. Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Two Hands in Harmony|Two Hands in Harmony]]&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. It may already be done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane complain about being overworked as guardians of a Rumor and fear the anger of Touka, Alina, and Nemu. They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One summer morning, Mitama is at her shop and she has set up a small café corner called Hot☆Corner. The cat, Doyle, is especially attached to her lately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery|The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day|Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Rumored Temp Counselor===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call|Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;

===A Taste of Hospitality===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - A Taste of Hospitality|A Taste of Hospitality]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko and Ashley help Mitama film a video about her Coordinator services, whre she explains that she adjusts Soul Gems to draw out hidden potential, that she sees memories during adjustments but keeps them confidential, and that she also sells items for Magical Girls. As payment for the video, Riko gives Mitama an origami dog (Mameji) and Ashley gives her blue candy from her home, both of which Mitama puts in a box.&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, Mitama receives many gifts from Magical Girls, including Kokoro, Reira, Mito, Felicia, Ayame, Kako, Yachiyo, Karin, Himika, Rika and Emiri, the last of whom says that when people share their favorite things, it means they want to share what they love with Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama hums happily, which Momoko and Kanagi notice and feel a bad omen. Mitama announces that she wants to share what she loves with everyone and that she plans a party with food that she will cook. She asks Momoko and Kanagi to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin|Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One winter’s day before Christmas, Rika and Ren go shopping together. The town has no Christmas decorations and people seem depressed. They hear a distressed voice and find Mitama, wearing a Santa&#039;s beard and hat, and she introduces herself as a Christmas Spirit. Mitama says her job is to make everyone happy, but the task is too big. She gives Rika and Ren some of her magic, explaining that the magic requires them to be perfectly attuned to each other, and then she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, a swallow Familiar appears, claiming to be Mitama’s pupil and Rika names him Chirpie. Chirpie explains that Mitama saved him when he fell from his nest and gave him magic. He can sense cowardly hearts lacking courage and Rika and Ren must drive out ten cowardly hearts to make the town happy. Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chirpie leads them to Felicia and Sana, who had accidentally smashed a cake and are now arguing about who should apologize to Yachiyo. Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 13th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mitama is away from her shop, but Tsuruno is there, using the kitchen to make chocolate bonbons with a friend. She plans to surprise everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 14th:&#039;&#039;&#039; On Valentine&#039;s Day, Tsuruno gives beautifully wrapped chocolates to Iroha, Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana and Ui at Mikazuki Villa. Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;

* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day during lunch break, Kanagi goes to Himika’s classroom, telling her she just wanted to see her face, which Himika finds strange.&lt;br /&gt;
** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

* Hinano and Emiri attend a chemistry event. Hinano is excited to see a chemist who reminds her of the woman she idolized as a child—a tall, long-legged lady who taught fun chemistry experiments. Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo calls back and confirms they will come.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group arrives at the hotel and Yachiyo&#039;s relative, an older woman, greets them warmly. She says she used to hang out with Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river.

Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;

** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral. Yachiyo admits she was worried about everyone but sees they are doing fine. Iroha tells Yachiyo it is okay to worry because she cares, and they can solve problems together. Iroha notices Yachiyo has been down and offers to listen.&lt;br /&gt;

** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models. She does not know what to post and is shy about taking selfies. Iroha suggests posting photos of herself and takes pictures of Yachiyo on a float with the sunset. Yachiyo is embarrassed but agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Tsuruno want a turn on the float. Everyone climbs on, and Mitama takes a group photo just as they all fall into the water. Iroha loves the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the pool photos are popular online. Yachiyo&#039;s manager says going to the pool was a good move. Yachiyo thanks Iroha and says she might take her up on being her photographer again. She sends the group photo to everyone. Iroha says the photo may not be &amp;quot;social media-worthy&amp;quot; but it captures who they are. They agree to go back to the pool again—summer is just getting started.&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Hazuki&#039;s team confronts Nanaka. They were forced to defeat the Boss Witch because of the &amp;quot;duty&amp;quot; clause. Hazuki says Nanaka played them. Nanaka admits she knew they could do it. Hazuki says they have scores to settle. Hazuki also mentions the Witch was strange, like it was being manipulated.

Harassment of those who objected got worse. Discord grew within the community and even within their home. Her father was wound tight. Then their house was set on fire. Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
** She met a girl named &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; N told Kako who was responsible and what she needed to do to destroy them. Kako clung to her. She later learned N was manipulative and saw others as pawns. Kako hates N and wants revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found herself in a Labyrinth. Nanaka fought off Familiars but was overwhelmed. Kyubey offered Kako the chance to become a Magical Girl.

She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kako learned Nanaka faked her struggle to entrap her into making the wish. Nanaka had pulled this trick on others to use them as pawns. Kako could not forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako and Nanaka fought Witches together. Nanaka encouraged Kako and told her she was better suited to being a Magical Girl than Nanaka was. Kako wanted to get stronger. Nanaka wrote a letter confessing her deception and asking Kako to kill her. Kako made up her mind to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka. She returned it unopened, saying it seemed wrong to read something Nanaka only sent by accident. Nanaka smiled and said Kako was dazzling. She said she would try to tell Kako her feelings in person someday.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako thinks Nanaka overestimates her, but she is no longer as scared and helpless as she used to be. She is a Magical Girl who protects the city by Nanaka&#039;s side.&lt;br /&gt;

===Kokoro Awane&#039;s Heartphial Story: A World Where I Never Was===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro Awane reflects on her life. Before, she hated herself so many times for making her wish, kicking herself for it. She thought that since it was her fault, she had to do something about it. But now, all she wants is to do the best she can as a family of three with all her heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro goes hiking with Masara. They sing a cookie song but disagree on the lyrics—Masara says it is &amp;quot;knead,&amp;quot; while Kokoro remembers &amp;quot;mix.&amp;quot; Kokoro mentions a rumor about parallel universes and false memories. At the summit, Kokoro reminisces about hiking with her parents when she was little. She reveals that after her mother left, her family fell apart. Her father struggled as a single parent. Kokoro wished to Kyubey for her mother to come home. Her mother returned, but her parents&#039; relationship did not improve. Kokoro felt she had to work harder to fix things.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Kokoro remembers meeting Masara. Masara bluntly told her that it was not her fault, and those words finally got through. Kokoro stopped trying to fix everything alone and started getting her whole family to work together.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present Day) After the hike, Kokoro hears a voice talking about the Rumor of Parallel Memories. She finds a CD of the cookie song in a bargain bin. The lyrics on the back say &amp;quot;mix,&amp;quot; not &amp;quot;knead.&amp;quot; She wonders if it is an item from a parallel universe. She feels dizzy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro finds herself in a parallel world. Her house is now a café. Her parents run it together and are happily married. They do not recognize her. Kokoro sees they are close and in love, just like when she was little. She hears about attractions and brands she has never heard of. Her mother sings the cookie song with &amp;quot;mix.&amp;quot; Kokoro realizes she was never born in this world. She feels painful but also jealous of their happiness. She thinks her parents might have been better off without her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro wishes to go home. She feels dizzy again. She hears her parents calling her name. She wakes up to find she had collapsed. Her parents found her and called an ambulance. She is taken to the hospital. She wonders if the parallel world was real or just a dream.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Kokoro&#039;s parents bake cookies together. They include her in the process. Her mother sings a version of the cookie song with different lyrics—&amp;quot;stir, stir, stir them well, that taste of happiness.&amp;quot; Kokoro asks her mother to sing the old part. Her mother says she just did. Kokoro changes her mind and says she does not want to hear it anymore. She prefers these cookies, the ones the three of them made together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Himika Mao&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Lucky Break Lost &amp;amp; Found===&lt;br /&gt;
* Himika Mao reflects on her life. Her family is far from rich, so when her dad got sick and collapsed, her whole world went dark. But it was her family&#039;s smiling faces that kept her going through it all. That is why she will continue to fight to protect them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Himika goes shopping for bargains and wins a grand prize from a drawing: a 2-night stay at a luxury hotel with a pool on a tropical island, complete with meals. She is thrilled to take her whole family. She hides the ticket in a Baby Bunny pouch for safekeeping.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Himika&#039;s father worked day and night to support their family of eight. He collapsed from overwork. He survived but could not work like before. The family was running out of money. Her siblings fought and cried. Her father suggested they all live in different facilities. Himika made a wish to Kyubey to cure her father. She became a Magical Girl. Her father recovered, and her family returned to a normal, peaceful life.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present Day) Himika&#039;s friends Kako and Ayame visit. Himika cannot find the ticket. She realizes she mistook the pouch for a stuffed animal and sent it away in a box of Mocha Bunny dolls for a crane game prize. She calls the shipping company, but the boxes have already been handed to a subcontractor.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama suggests having Himika&#039;s father call the subcontractor to track down the pouch. Himika&#039;s father does so. The company says they will search for it.&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Rena calls Himika. She saw the Baby Bunny pouch in a crane game at an arcade. Himika, Kako, Ayame, Rena, and Kaede go to the arcade. The pouch is in the replenishment case, meaning Himika must win all the Mocha Bunnies already out to reach it. Himika decides to use a strategy but is short on money.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika observes other players to learn techniques, calling it &amp;quot;crane training.&amp;quot; She strategizes to create an avalanche by knocking down piles of plushies. She successfully clears most of the machine. The staff restocks the machine, placing the pouch inside surrounded by four giant Mocha Bunnies.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika aims to move two bunnies out of the way to reach the pouch. She successfully clears the pandas and one bunny. She realizes there are two Baby Bunny pouches, not one. She cannot tell which is hers. She has only three tries left. She misses on two tries. On her final try, she aims for both pouches at once and succeeds. The crowd applauds.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Himika&#039;s family goes on the tropical vacation. She explains that when she asked Kyubey to cure her dad, what she really wanted was for her family to be back together. She later learns from a staff member that if she had explained the situation at first, they would have just given her the pouch back. All&#039;s well that ends well.&lt;br /&gt;

Kyubey appeared and granted her wish to live. She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;

Rika said that as long as you have one shining thing in the world, you can keep going.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (present) Ren and Rika go shopping. Ren finds an earring someone dropped and returns it. The owner is grateful. Ren feels happy and buys a colored pencil.

* Rika messages Ren, apologizing and saying she was planning a surprise birthday party. Ren does not reply. She hides in a dark room at school. Rika finds her and calls her instead of opening the door. Rika explains she wanted to surprise Ren. She gives Ren a set of 12 colored pencils with a carved lily of the valley on the case. Ren cries and thanks her. The bear cub looks up and sees the Spirit of Light smiling at her. Her world is once again filled with light.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren buys another colored pencil. She notices the name is &amp;quot;Blue Sky&amp;quot; instead of &amp;quot;Sky Blue.&amp;quot; She hears a voice talking about the Rumor of Parallel Memories. She feels dizzy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren dreams she is dead. She cannot see or touch her parents. They mourn her suicide. She never became a Magical Girl and never met Rika. She watches her friends go to the teddy bear exhibition without her. She is invisible. She feels awful and wants to go back to the land of the living. She remembers the colored pencil with the different name—that must be the proof of another world. She holds it and wishes to live. She wakes up. It was all a dream. Rika messages her to join everyone for snacks. Ren goes to meet them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren finishes her bear story. The gatekeeper asks the bear cub if she has any regrets. The bear cub says yes. She wishes to leave behind her journal, filled with entries about the Spirit of Light and all the sparkles she showed her. The gatekeeper opens the gates. The bear cub does not say goodbye because she knows she will see the Spirit of Light again someday in the World of Light. Ren realizes the bear cub is reborn, just like she was when she met Rika and her friends. She can live in a world full of color.&lt;br /&gt;

They became sisters bound by a bond stronger than blood. The director treated them like family.&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before becoming Magical Girls) Azalea House was to be torn down due to unknown powerful forces. The stress of it claimed the director&#039;s life. Kyubey appeared and offered contracts.

&lt;br /&gt;
* A teacher asks Hazuki to deliver worksheets to Nanaka. Hazuki is reluctant because Konoha distrusts Nanaka after an incident where Nanaka&#039;s team tricked them into fighting a powerful Witch.

* During the storm, the rope bridge collapses due to the rain. Hazuki and Nanaka cannot cross the river. They find an old shack for shelter. They huddle together for warmth. Hazuki shares her past: her parents died in an accident when she was young. She was shuffled between relatives until she ended up at Azalea House. She learned to hide her fear behind a smile. The director taught her to smile when her heart truly felt it. She met Konoha and Ayame there. They became family. They made wishes to protect Azalea House and left to live together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka listens quietly. She says she finally understands Hazuki&#039;s true self. Nanaka grows pale and cold. Hazuki worries she might collapse. Hazuki insists they huddle closer. Nanaka admits she is cold. They wait together.&lt;br /&gt;

** (Flashback - Azalea House) Ayame dreams of the Director. She remembers the day Azalea House was going to be torn down. The Director had already passed away. Konoha, Hazuki, and Ayame met Kyubey and decided to become Magical Girls. Ayame wished for Azalea House to stay open forever. Konoha wished to eliminate all threats to it. They decided on a third wish: to have everyone at Azalea House forget they were ever there. They left the orphanage and started living together.

* Masara meets Kokoro Awane in a Labyrinth. Kokoro is uncomfortable with Masara&#039;s reckless fighting and tells her to protect herself more. Masara says she does not care if she dies. Kokoro says her family would care. Masara questions why Kokoro blames herself for her family&#039;s problems. Kokoro asks if they can stick together. Masara agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a Witch hunt, they&#039;re attacked by a Witch and Masara takes a hit to protect Kokoro. She gets a scar. She starts avoiding Kokoro because she does not understand her feelings.

&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback, but the entirety seems like mostly a flashback) Kyubey offers Rika any wish in exchange for becoming a Magical Girl. Hinano warns her not to do it, but Rika ignores the advice. She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused.

She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;

Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky. She realizes she is dying, having protected Yachiyo. She remembers how everyone was fighting for dear life. She wished she were stronger to help them. She is sorry for not being stronger. She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ashley Taylor&#039;s Heartphial Story: Can&#039;t Be Myself Without What I Love===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley Taylor reflects on her life. Studying in Japan is awesome fun. She wants to find more kawaii for her vlog viewers back home and asks her father to watch over her while she pursues her passions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley vlogs with Riko&#039;s help. She films herself shopping for Magical Kirin merch and gurokawa items. After editing and uploading the video, she replies to comments from her followers. She thinks about her father and hopes he is watching.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley remembers the day she wanted to study abroad in Japan. Her father refused without giving a clear reason, which was unusual. Kyubey appeared and offered to grant any wish. Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko notices Ashley seems down. She worries Ashley is overworking herself by vlogging daily and replying to comments late at night. Ashley says it does not feel like work because she loves it. She thanks Riko for being a kind friend. They go out to film another vlog.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley continues vlogging daily. She worries about skipping a day because her followers might unfollow her. She wakes up to find Kumanosuke missing. She panics, feeling like her world is ending. Riko arrives with a bento and finds Ashley crying. Ashley explains she lost Kumanosuke. Riko comforts her and says it is okay to skip a vlog. Ashley admits she has been using followers&#039; comments to fill the hole left by her father&#039;s death. Riko says she understands loss—she misses her sister who moved far away. They decide to search for Kumanosuke.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko suggests Ashley ask her followers for help finding Kumanosuke. During a live stream, a commenter suggests rewatching her previous vlog. Ashley realizes she left Kumanosuke on a chair when she got distracted by a crane machine. They find Kumanosuke on a shelf at the store, dressed in Waloli Gurokawa clothes. Ashley gets him back. She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

* At the hospital, a nurse tries to convince Touka to eat her carrots. Touka refuses unless her terms are met: she wants specific books brought to her. The books are Hachslingen&#039;s &amp;quot;General Theory of the Origin of the Universe,&amp;quot; Cosinberg&#039;s &amp;quot;Celestial Forces,&amp;quot; and Dadatri&#039;s &amp;quot;Glimmer of the Planet.&amp;quot; She claims no one will hand them over.

** Nemu deduces that Touka is acting like Princess Kaguya, requesting treasures she knows do not exist to avoid eating her carrots. Exposed, Touka reluctantly eats a carrot.

Nemu observes to Ui that Touka frequently says &amp;quot;Onee-sama&amp;quot; now, likely because Iroha is her first elder sister. Nemu quietly reflects that Iroha is her first Onee-san as well. Iroha arrives and greets them all warmly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* At the hospital, a nurse tries to convince Touka to eat her carrots. Touka refuses unless her terms are met: she wants specific books brought to her. The books are Hachslingen&#039;s &amp;quot;General Theory of the Origin of the Universe,&amp;quot; Cosinberg&#039;s &amp;quot;Celestial Forces,&amp;quot; and Dadatri&#039;s &amp;quot;Glimmer of the Planet.&amp;quot; She claims no one will hand them over. The nurse eventually gives up on the carrots.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Future Relationships|Future Relationships ~Current Status with Onee-sama~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha arrives, having been called by Ui. Ui admits she asked Iroha to search for the books Touka wanted, having written out the titles for her. Iroha apologizes, explaining she could not find them no matter how she searched. Touka becomes flustered.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu deduces that Touka is acting like Princess Kaguya, requesting treasures she knows do not exist to avoid eating her carrots. Exposed, Touka reluctantly eats a carrot. Nemu thanks Iroha and makes Touka apologize for the trouble. Touka gives a half-hearted apology.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the girls play a number-guessing game. Touka wins five times in a row. Iroha suggests Touka and Nemu call her something more casual. Touka chooses &amp;quot;Onee-sama.&amp;quot; Nemu asks to call her &amp;quot;Onee-san.&amp;quot; Iroha happily agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka eagerly awaits Iroha&#039;s arrival to play Old Maid, noting Iroha has won first place seven times in a row but that her face always gives the game away. Nemu observes to Ui that Touka frequently says &amp;quot;Onee-sama&amp;quot; now, likely because Iroha is her first elder sister. Nemu quietly reflects that Iroha is her first Onee-san as well. Iroha arrives and greets them all warmly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A familiar appears and attacks. Touka is overwhelmed. Iroha arrives and fights it off, guided by Kyubey. She expresses concern for Ui and her friends. Ui realizes it really is her big sister and Touka recognizes Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo finds an old photo album while cleaning. She shows it to Iroha, Tsuruno, Sana, Felicia, and Ui. The photos are from seven years ago, when Mikazuki Villa was a boarding house. Iroha notices a girl standing next to Yachiyo and her grandmother—it is Mifuyu with long hair. Yachiyo explains she knew Mifuyu back then and they fought Witches together. Tsuruno is shocked and Yachiyo says they did not leave a good first impression on each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seven Years Ago&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo fights her first Witch. She is scared but determined. Inside the barrier, she finds another Magical Girl crying. The girl is too frightened to fight. Yachiyo tries to cooperate, but the girl runs away. Yachiyo defeats the Witch alone. Afterward, she confronts the crying girl and tells her that if she cannot fight, she should quit. The girl begs Yachiyo not to leave her alone. Yachiyo is harsh but later realizes she is also scared. Both girls cry alone, afraid of being Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo is the leader of her model unit. The other members are starting to trust her. One member, Yellow, still does not approve of Yachiyo as leader. Yachiyo continues working hard. After her lesson, she defeats a Familiar. She encounters Mifuyu again. Mifuyu says she felt the Familiar&#039;s presence but was too scared to enter the barrier. Yachiyo is harsh again, but Mifuyu says she wants to talk properly. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives and invites Mifuyu to a candy store. Mifuyu has never been to one before. She is amazed by the syrup. The grandmother invites her to visit Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s unit has a successful photoshoot. She feels happy. Later, she senses a powerful Witch and enters the barrier. Two other Magical Girls are already fighting it. Yachiyo asks to join them, but they attack her. They say the Witch is their prey and threaten her. Mifuyu appears and says they should cooperate. The other girls ignore her and lure the Witch toward Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Mifuyu protects Yachiyo and gets injured. They escape together and rest in a park. Yachiyo shares her grief seed with Mifuyu. They introduce themselves. Yachiyo learns Mifuyu comes from a strict family with nine lessons. Mifuyu became a Magical Girl to dream freely. They bond over their shared struggles. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to visit again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu visits Mikazuki Villa. She brings sweets. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother shows the album and the magazine featuring Yachiyo&#039;s unit. The older boarders ask Mifuyu for a cute nickname for Yachiyo. Mifuyu suggests &amp;quot;Yacchan.&amp;quot; Yachiyo likes it. That night, a Witch appears near the station. They fight together and save a boarder from Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo suggests they team up because they are both weak and will become stronger together. Mifuyu agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Yachiyo and Mifuyu continue patrolling. Mifuyu&#039;s parents increase her lessons because they suspect she is sneaking out to play. Yachiyo feels guilty. They decide to reduce patrols for the next week.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s manager tells her the unit will be disbanded at the end of the month. Yachiyo is devastated. Her wish to keep the unit alive was meaningless. She meets Mifuyu at the candy store. Mifuyu has been scolded and had her phone taken away. She says she cannot endure her life anymore. Yachiyo blames herself for dragging Mifuyu around. A Witch appears. They fight it, but two other Magical Girls show up and attack them. The Witch kills one of them. Yachiyo and Mifuyu fight the Witch together and defeat it. The surviving Magical Girl takes the grief seed and leaves. Yachiyo and Mifuyu are broken. They ask Kyubey to let them quit, but he refuses.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo finds a grief seed left behind by the surviving Magical Girl. She realizes she saved the girl&#039;s life. Mifuyu says that even though their wishes were meaningless, they are still alive and can protect what is important. Yachiyo recalls her grandmother&#039;s words about leaving feelings behind through letters. She decides she and Mifuyu should exchange letters to leave their feelings behind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day at Mikazuki Villa&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu continue looking through the photo album. Mifuyu says the letters were their hope and their weakness. She suggests they stop exchanging letters because they are now seniors who must be strong. Yachiyo refuses. She says the letters keep her tied to reality and give her hope. Mifuyu agrees to continue. They find an old letter Yachiyo wrote. Yachiyo says she will write this year&#039;s letter. Mifuyu promises to write one too. They vow to exchange letters forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls in Kush, who transforms into a vampire and she wins the contest. Natsuki takes second place and Karin takes third place. A commemorative photo is taken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin completes her manga, &amp;quot;The Pumpkin King and the Ghost Servant.&amp;quot; She shows it to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede who praise it, giving it 100 points or more. Kaede appreciates the happy ending. Karin is moved by Kaede&#039;s approval. Manaka arrives with pumpkin pie for a taste test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the Sakae Halloween Festa, Karin arrives at the festival in her Pumpkin King costume. Alina is also present, already dressed as the ghost servant from Karin&#039;s manga. Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head of the executive committee thanks Karin for recommending Alina as the face of the event. Karin reflects on her hope that Alina will one day atone for her sins and reach a happy ending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka-senpai&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Day in the Life of Madoka-senpai===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wait, You Got It Wrong!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayu Kozue&#039;s most treasured possession is a bear pendant her father carved for her before he died. When a hand-drawn postcard is stolen from the museum where she works, security footage shows her friend Ria at the scene moments later. Mayu cannot reach Ria and suspects a Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~|Wait, You Got It Wrong! / Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While searching for Ria, Mayu encounters Asuka Tatsuki, whose family&#039;s invaluable book of secrets was also stolen. A witness described a blonde girl in a Mizuna uniform—Ria. They find Sayuki Fumino crying over her stolen sword book, then Rena Minami who was bumped by the same girl. At Walnut&#039;s restaurant, Manaka Kurumi accuses Ria of stealing a rice omelet. A Witch barrier appears, and after Mayu and Asuka defeat the Familiars, Ria arrives demanding to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka challenges Ria to a duel over the thefts, and Ria loses. She confesses to something embarrassing, and everyone assumes she means the thefts—but she meant a binder of idol clippings she desperately hopes no one saw. She was only chasing the Witch to recover her own stolen belongings. Relieved, Mayu and Asuka join her. They track and defeat the Witch, recovering most items, but the museum postcard, the dojo book, and Ria&#039;s binder remain missing. They agree to search again tomorrow. That night, Mayu dreams of her father, who tells her material things are destined to break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, thefts continue across the city. Mayu realizes the Witch they defeated was only a Familiar and the real Witch is still out there. She offers her precious pendant as bait to track it. Despite Ria&#039;s protests, Mayu uses it, and they follow the magic trail to the Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After a difficult battle, they recover all stolen items, though Mayu&#039;s pendant is scratched and its chain broken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu is unbothered. She explains that material possessions naturally break, but the memories they hold remain in her heart—a lesson from her father. Asuka and Ria are moved, and Mayu turns to walk home, promptly falls into a lake, and flounders while Ria sighs that she has not changed at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
Big Sis = Miss K (check with Exedra)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor Onee-san. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Onee-san with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Onee-san&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Onee-san to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* Sakuya maintains her isolation at school. After fighting a Witch, she is approached by Ryoko from the Tokime Clan, who persistently tries to befriend her despite Sakuya&#039;s refusal. Ryoko notices Sakuya&#039;s exhaustion and decides something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them. The girl agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, finishing the final preparations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day of the school festival proceeds without major incident. Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, sampling food and enjoying the event. They take a photo together at the repaired arch—Tsumugi, Manaka, and the transfer student in her uniform. The transfer student reflects later that she will cherish the photo forever, grateful for the kindness she did not feel she deserved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Manor. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;

** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts.

** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She chases after the soul gem, while the yo-yo falls into the hood of Mitsune Miwa, a hikikomori watching a performance below. Mitsune decides to return it and runs up the stairs, where she collides with Jun. Jun explains she needs her soul gem, and Mitsune returns the yo-yo. A Witch&#039;s barrier appears around them, and Jun transforms to fight while telling Mitsune to close her eyes. Mitsune peeks, collapses after seeing the Witch die, and Jun carries her outside, claiming it was all a dream. Jun insists on treating Mitsune since she saved her yo-yo, and takes her to a candy store called Tomorrow Shop. Jun introduces her to the children there, and Mitsune is amazed by how loved Jun is.

* The next day, Jun tells Mitsune she is moving next week and that magical girls do not have the kind of magic Mitsune dreams of. Mitsune must make her own dreams come true. Jun promises to prove she does not need magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Jun finds that the children and Mitsune went to explore Shinsei Ward without her. She finds them at an abandoned construction site where Mitsune encountered a Witch.

As Ashley continues shopping, she runs into Karin Misono, and they bond over their shared love of an anime. Ashley assembles a themed outfit for Karin, and Karin later buys her a bracelet as thanks. Later, Ashley helps Rika Ayano and Emiri Kisaki with their outfits as well, buying matching scrunchies for herself, Riko, and Kumanosuke. With an hour left, Ashley assists Asuka Tatsuki and Sasara Minagi with their choices, but their shopping is interrupted when event management announces several thefts have occurred.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kawaii&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A man suddenly bumps into Ashley and runs off, and Ashley realizes Kumanosuke is gone. She remembers the bear carries traces of her magic from past battles, so the girls follow the trail to an abandoned area and find a Witch&#039;s labyrinth. The thief enters with Kumanosuke, and the girls transform and follow. Inside, they find stolen goods and victims, and Ashley reaches the center where the Witch is examining her bear. She unleashes her fury at the mistreatment of people&#039;s beloved items and destroys the Witch, saving Kumanosuke and the victims.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kawaii&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they exit, the contest is about to begin and Ashley panics, having no time to complete her outfit. Just then, the other magical girls arrive. Masara gives her a necklace, Karin offers the bracelet, and Rika and Emiri provide color-coordinating shoes. Ashley thanks them and hurries to the contest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kawaii&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Ashley finishes telling Riko the story. Thanks to everyone&#039;s help, Ashley won the contest. She gives Riko the matching scrunchie, and promises that when Riko is older, they will attend a fashion event together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kawaii&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Mirror That Reflects My True Self===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sae goes about her daily life in Kamihama. She maintains a facade as the daughter of a well-off family while secretly working multiple jobs to support her kind but financially irresponsible parents, living by a philosophy of relying only on herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Mirror That Reflects My True Self|The Mirror That Reflects My True Self]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a routine adjustment with the Coordinator Mitama, Sae learns of a &amp;quot;False Magical Girl&amp;quot; rumor: someone is impersonating her. Mitama suggests Sae seek help from Emiri&#039;s counseling room, where Magical Girls gather. Though reluctant, Sae agrees the impostor threatens her carefully constructed image.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sae joins the counseling room girls to investigate. Emiri, Himika, Ria, and others provide testimonies of sightings, but inconsistencies emerge. After deducing the impostor can transform, Sae confronts and corners Rena, who reveals the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire investigation was an elaborate setup. Emiri and the others orchestrated the &amp;quot;False Magical Girl&amp;quot; to force Sae into relying on them, worried her refusal to ask for help would lead to disaster. Mitama coordinated the scheme. Though initially frustrated, Sae understands their concern and thanks them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sae returns home to find her siblings confused. Someone matching her description visited earlier, acting affectionate. Sae realizes a real impostor exists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A figure identical to Sae appears and delivers a prophecy: tomorrow, Ria will be attacked and Emiri will stabbed saving her. In the evening, Sae will be defeated pursuing the attacker, and Himika will be hurt helping her. Lastly, Sae&#039;s entire family will die because of an enemy she fails to defeat. The figure claims to be Sae from the future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sae dismisses the prophecy but confirms part of it when her brother shows her a perfect test score, exactly as predicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sae investigates recent incidents, concluding a powerful Witch is responsible. Before she can act, Ria is attacked and Emiri stabbed, just as predicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Determined to prevent the next prophecy, Sae locates the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth alone. She is overwhelmed and nearly killed. Himika arrives to help, having found Sae&#039;s marked map, and is gravely injured in the rescue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sae receives a message that her family is attending a concert near the Witch. As she despairs, the counseling room girls arrive, led by the impostor who directed them there. They insist on fighting together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group coordinates their abilities. Emiri and Himika distract the Witch, Maria binds it, Akira finds its weakness, Ria conceals their attacks, and Hinano commands the operation. Sae delivers the final blow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Sae reconciles with her family. The future Sae, who watched from afar and disappeared, her past unchanged but is satisfied this world&#039;s Sae was saved. She returns to the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following days, Sae begins helping at the counseling room, gradually opening up to others while maintaining she does so for networking. The room becomes busier as more Magical Girls seek advice, and Sae finds herself enjoying the company despite herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Lavi is shopping when Nayuta finds her to share news about her math test score. They return home where Lavi prepares dinner, and Nayuta discovers Lavi earned perfect scores in every subject, highlighting the gap between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House|The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day while Lavi runs errands, Nayuta confides in Mikage about her fears that Lavi only respects her father and secretly resents serving her. Seeking answers, Nayuta visits Mitama, who suggests that kindness and broad-mindedness are the traits she needs to develop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Nayuta observes how hard Lavi works attending school, studying, handling housework, and fighting witches. Worried she might collapse, Nayuta offers Lavi time off for her upcoming sixteenth birthday and secretly plans a surprise party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later on Lavi&#039;s birthday, Nayuta and Mikage struggle through cleaning the house and preparing a celebration. Their efforts are interrupted when Lavi returns early for lunch, scolds them for the mess, but leaves again at Nayuta&#039;s insistence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Lavi returns that evening, the handmade kusudama falls onto the cake and catches fire. Lavi extinguishes it with water, and Nayuta is left mortified as her surprise party fails spectacularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Nayuta senses lingering coldness from Lavi and struggles to find the right way to apologize. Remembering her father&#039;s example, she decides to catch and cook a fish as an apology gift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day at a fishing center, Nayuta encounters girls from the Tokime clan who teach her how to gut fish. Despite being disturbed by the process, she perseveres and eventually catches the exact fish she wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning home late, Nayuta discovers a threatening letter addressed to Lavi and deduces it must be connected to the serious trouble from Lavi&#039;s hometown. She rushes to the market street with Mikage to protect her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the market street, Nayuta confronts the man speaking with Lavi, declaring herself as Satomi Tasuke&#039;s daughter to intimidate him. The man reveals he is simply a stalker with no connection to Lavi&#039;s past, and when he becomes agitated, Nayuta tackles him unconscious as a crowd applauds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Nayuta presents the cooked fish and apologizes. Lavi admits she was barely angry anymore and thanks Nayuta for protecting her, acknowledging she was just like her father in that moment. Nayuta produces a second kusudama and cake, and this time the celebration succeeds. As they pick confetti from the cake, Lavi quietly says she will continue to admire Nayuta until the final day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Magia Record Event - The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf|The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo bumps into Tsuruno on a day when school is out. Yachiyo has a job performing in a recorded drama with Sayuki that will be screened on Tanabata. Tsuruno recalls Yachiyo&#039;s poor performance in Karin&#039;s Halloween play and decides to join her to help. Yachiyo welcomes her.&lt;br /&gt;
** On set, Ria and Mayu are assisting with makeup and costumes. Yachiyo recognizes Ria, calls her by name, and praises her work, causing Ria to internally fangirl. Yachiyo grows anxious seeing so many Magical Girls gathered, recalling how a previous production with magical girls turned into a disaster. Tsuruno reassures her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wins over the production team with her exuberance. The play&#039;s co-star drops out, and the director asks Tsuruno to take the role. She eagerly accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a fairy tale about an ancient Mizuna legend. Two girls, Tsuyu and Chizuru, befriend each other despite their families&#039; rivalry and join forces to punish a selfish lord. Yachiyo plays Tsuyu, the ice queen with a heart of gold. Tsuruno plays Chizuru, the cheerful and impetuous girl. Sayuki plays the Magpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** During the script reading, everyone realizes Yachiyo&#039;s acting skills are still terrible. Yachiyo confides that she has turned down many acting jobs but accepted this one because the director begged her, even if she flops. She vows to see it through to expand her repertoire. Tsuruno promises to stay by her side.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria is in shock seeing her idol perform poorly. The filmmakers work around it by taking away Yachiyo&#039;s lines. Ria confronts Yachiyo and Tsuruno after the reading, declaring she will give Yachiyo an acting bootcamp. She does not want Yachiyo&#039;s performance to drag down her makeup work or her reputation as Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at home, Yachiyo reviews the script. Tsuruno explains the Mizuna fairy tale to the rest of Mikazuki. Felicia becomes interested when she learns there are fight scenes. Tsuruno explains that the day Tsuyu and Chizuru teamed up was Tanabata, and people in Kamihama entrust their wishes to them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next week or so, Yachiyo is drilled on acting with a professional coach and Ria&#039;s guidance. She eventually executes her lines perfectly and Ria is relieved.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sea is a Link Through Time /  The Call of the Open Sea===&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. There&#039;s two different versions at hand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Momoko and Mitama arrive at a resort near a village with a legend about a Diviner who eloped with a sailor and sank with stolen treasure. Mitama reveals they are actually there to hunt for this treasure based on a fairy tale Mikage heard. While exploring the private beach, they encounter Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao from the Tokime Clan, who stumbled there by accident. The group decides to spend the day together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|The Call of the Open Sea]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, they attend a festival in a nearby village that turns out to be a branch of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka learns the villagers consider Diviners a superstition. Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Promised Blood&#039;s base, Yuna notices her teammates have been acting strangely, as Sakuya reads romance columns, Juri studies constantly, and Urara stares at Hikaru without speaking. After the meeting, Yuna confides in Hikaru that she feels guilty for not noticing everyone&#039;s exhaustion and decides to solve each person&#039;s problems personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend. Though relieved it&#039;s not her own love life, Yuna insists on helping anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s place, the group brainstorms confession advice. The conversation shifts when Ao receives a text from her parents—she&#039;s been lying to them about her late nights as a magical girl, claiming she&#039;s in an e-sports tournament. To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the online tournament, chaos ensues as Juri attacks teammates, Hikaru sets the kitchen on fire, and Yuna fails at selling merchandise. Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the student council meeting, Yuna honestly requests more time to handle personal matters, promising to dedicate herself fully afterward. The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Onee-san, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Felicia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward. Kyubey finds a fuming Felicia, who decides to hire herself out as a mercenary to other magical girls for money or Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Felicia Mitsuki#Side Story|Felicia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia encounters Asuka and Sasara and defeats a witch for them, but they let her keep the Grief Seed and leave without paying, leaving her frustrated. Kako appears, concerned, but Felicia rejects her harshly and immediately regrets it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia helps defeat the witch and collapses from exhaustion, silently vowing to destroy every witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Touka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Hazuki and Nanaka team up with Ui to teach her how to defeat witches. Ui claims her first victory and receives a grief seed as a reward while Touka and Nemu tag along to offer congratulations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui suddenly realizes she loves the choir and wants to become a music teacher. She excitedly shares this revelation with her family and friends and resolves to work hard toward this future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art. The Amanes are relieved, and Tsukuyo suggests they play their flutes at the shrine on the way home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Both affirm that their only allies are each other, and they will always be together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends. Before Hibari&#039;s family moved away, she performed a charm ritual on Aru and promised they would meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message that Hibari is coming to visit Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives and they plan to visit an arcade. Along the way they encounter Himena&#039;s group and later help a lost Shizuka. After some confusion about directions, they reach the arcade where Hibari wins a crane game prize and helps Juri win one too. Hibari suddenly becomes pale and goes to get change, but she does not return. Kagome calls her and Hibari thanks her for being friends before saying goodbye, with an ambulance audible in the background.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome discovers a crowd under a Witch&#039;s Kiss heading toward a rooftop and sends emergency messages to every Magical Girl she knows. Himena&#039;s group arrives to help hold back the crowd, but other girls cannot come due to similar incidents elsewhere. Shizuka finally checks her phone and rushes over with the Tokime Clan just as someone threatens to ignite kerosene. They stop the crowd while Juri and Ao defeat the Witch with Livia&#039;s help. The Witch&#039;s Kiss is lifted and Hibari wakes up confused, with Livia covering that she collapsed from anemia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari admits she felt faint because seeing Kagome surrounded by friends made her happy but also made her feel left behind and alone. Kagome insists Hibari is wrong and promises to come running whenever Hibari is in trouble, asking them to stay best friends forever. Hibari reveals the two wishes she made when they parted came true: that she could speak her mind loudly and that Kagome would make lots of friends. They renew their promise to remain best friends forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari. They bonded over a shared love of &amp;quot;The Adventure of Mandragora.&amp;quot; Hibari gave Kagome a Mandragora plushie named Al-chan and asked to be friends. Kagome learned ventriloquism through Al-chan and grew more confident. The two became inseparable.&lt;br /&gt;

* Day 4&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri struggled at school, frustrated by classmates who avoided conflict and teachers who enabled them. Her anger built up. She reflected on how she became a Magical Girl—she wished for a patient, stout heart to stay in school and not burden her father. The wish gave her patience but did not eliminate her anger; it built up as flames until she exploded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl Yuna introduced continued to spar with Juri. The girl revealed Juri had saved her from a Witch, and she admired Juri.

After thinking it over, she searches for information with help from others, but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hinano explains that because the agreement fell through, local manufacturers like Kanoko’s father stayed in business, so there was little news. Chiharu and Sunao arrange a meeting at the factory and bring Shizuka. Kanoko’s father tells Shizuka his factory would have failed otherwise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hagumu asks Yukika, a former Black Feather, why she declined the Union. Yukika says she did not want to drag others into trouble. Hagumu sees Yukika has strong convictions and follows them, unlike herself. Hagumu feels more discouraged.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches. Hagumu is moved but asks for more time to discuss it with Shigure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hagumu finishes sewing Cinderella&#039;s costume and is praised by her club members. She feels a sense of accomplishment. However, she forgot to order the glass slippers. Her seniors are disappointed but tell her to order them now and make a to-do list next time. Hagumu feels crushed—she finally succeeded at something, only to fail again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu senses a Witch and goes to help. She sees Riko, an elementary schooler, defeating the Witch on her own. Hagumu realizes her ability to fight Witches is not special—any Magical Girl can do it. She feels her &amp;quot;glass slippers&amp;quot; are cracking and shattering. She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===San&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Hikarizuka Youth Association, San is treated like a younger sister by the members. The Chairman reveals the Association is facing rumours of shady business and has lost a major sponsor. The Fire Festival may be cancelled. San tells Miyuri about her past—as a child, she was scared of the Festival until Tatsu showed her the beauty of the flames. She joined the Youth Association out of admiration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[San Kagura#Side Story|San&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Years ago, a movement to abolish the Festival arose. San wished to Kyubey to &amp;quot;make the Fire Festival remain,&amp;quot; and the movement died out. However, the Festival is now in trouble again because her wish only solved the immediate crisis. San suggests that if they could make people believe in a visible god, they could restore faith in the Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San and Miyuri try fundraising but fail. San decides to research the god of Hikarizuka Shrine. She learns the shrine&#039;s god was originally a girl who emerged unharmed from flames—likely a Magical Girl. San realizes she can become a visible god and spread Magical Girl supremacy to protect the Festival. She decides to contact the new Wings of Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San meets Shigure and Hagumu, who lead the Neo-Magius. They ask her to join as an instructor. San declines, saying she is more suited to being a lieutenant. She receives a message that Tatsu was caught in a violent incident. San rushes back. Sponsors are considering dropping out due to the incident. San decides to negotiate with Miyuri&#039;s father to continue sponsorship just for this year. She kneels and begs him. He agrees but says this will be the last year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The Youth Association is manipulated by a Witch and starts a riot. San fights the Witch with Miyuri and the Neo-Magius. One Neo-Magius member is injured. Tatsu calls San—Miyuri&#039;s father is cutting off sponsorship and the Festival is cancelled. San is devastated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Youth Association cleans up. San learns that everyone has given up on the Festival. Tatsu admits none of them ever saw the god—he only told San that to comfort her as a child. San is shocked but still refuses to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** San tells Himena about her wish and her determination to become a god. She vows to spread Magical Girl supremacy and revive the Fire Festival by any means necessary. Himena approves. San declares she will become a living god, no matter what she has to sacrifice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Miyuri&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena, Alexandra, Hagumu, and Shigure watch as San stretches Miyuri. Miyuri&#039;s loud reactions draw attention. Himena asks about Miyuri&#039;s inline skating. Miyuri explains she started skating as a child because she was bad at running and her parents bought her skates. She fell in love with the feeling of cutting through the wind and quickly improved, eventually competing in freestyle competitions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Miyuri Yukari#Side Story|Miyuri&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s social anxiety worsened. She began experiencing panic attacks at competitions and could no longer compete. Her parents signed her up with the Hikarizuka Youth Association to help her interact with people. There, she met San for the first time. San invited her to dance practice. Miyuri fainted from overexcitement while watching San&#039;s legs. She realized she had a leg fetish and that it triggered her anxiety. She began avoiding San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s skating practice suffered. Her mother suggested she visit the Community Center. Miyuri avoided San again and went outside to practice skating alone at night. She felt free and happy while skating. San saw her dancing in the moonlight and was mesmerized. San decided she wanted to help Miyuri grow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish. San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri learned her new power shortened her experience of anxiety. She became more confident but still fainted easily. She fought Witches alone, often blacking out and going berserk. She encountered the Wings of the Magius while chasing a Witch. Her Doppel emerged. San appeared as the Instructor, defeated the Witch, and fended off the Doppel. San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training. Touka and Nemu suggested San should train Miyuri since she could still hear San&#039;s voice when unconscious. San agreed and became Miyuri&#039;s instructor. Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present) Back at the Community Center, Miyuri finishes her story. She does not regret her wish because it led her to become San&#039;s secret weapon and join Neo-Magius. Himena and the others leave, leaving San and Miyuri alone and Miyuri is mitten with San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Lavi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Lavi wakes Nayuta with the smell of natto. Mikage arrives urgently, asking to interview Lavi for her web newspaper assignment. Lavi agrees on the condition that her privacy is respected.

** Lavi goes shopping with Mikage and Nayuta. At the vegetable shop, the owner thanks Lavi for her gardening advice. A woman gives Lavi fresh eggs as thanks for organic vegetables from Lavi&#039;s grandfather. Mikage notices Lavi knows many housewives. Nayuta realizes she knows little about Lavi&#039;s past.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi explains she used to have a frail body as a child due to an unidentifiable condition. Her grandfather grew organic vegetables, which eased her symptoms. However, a severe storm destroyed the field&#039;s soil, making it impossible to grow vegetables. Lavi wished to restore the soil and became a Magical Girl. Her wish saved the field and gave hope to others. She admits her improved health was partly due to becoming a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage wants to make the newspaper more interesting, so Lavi offers to demonstrate &amp;quot;newsworthy&amp;quot; housework. She cooks lunch while Mikage records. Nayuta and Mikage try to help but ruin the dish with too much seasoning. They are distraught, but Lavi salvages it using cabbage and eggs. The meal is delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After making the newspaper, Nayuta and Mikage fall asleep. Lavi reflects on her past. She reveals that she never found joy in living despite her family&#039;s efforts. Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true. She asks for a little more time in her beloved daily life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Asahi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime Tribe holds a celebration to welcome Asahi. During introductions, Chiharu rambles excitedly about her favorite shows, and Asahi finds herself intrigued. When pressed to share more about herself, Asahi talks about hunting and the importance of minimizing suffering. That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun. Everyone apologizes, and they end the day with a shared dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Alexandra&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Re-analyze and structure this. It is a double-story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra dreams of her school days. She sees her past self smiling and realizes she is dreaming of the time she was in love. In the dream, she discusses love with Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu. Himena shares a romantic story about stargazing with Hiko. When Himena asks about their own love lives, Alexandra begins crying unexpectedly. She denies anything is wrong, but Himena apologizes for being insensitive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Alexandra Kurusu#Side Story|Alexandra&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, Alexandra&#039;s teacher appears—but he looks like Shigure. Other people appear as Himena and Hagumu. She recalls that her teacher was her math teacher and club advisor. He was strict and had a reputation for being scary. Alexandra remembers how she would complain about him with her classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After club activities, Alexandra wants to practice singing more. She goes to the rooftop and finds the teacher there. He allows her to practice under his supervision. They begin meeting regularly on the rooftop. She learns he does not smoke and is careful about his throat. He mentions that being an adult is not that great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A male classmate confesses to Alexandra. She almost accepts but pictures the teacher&#039;s face and realizes she loves someone else. She rejects the classmate. Later, it rains, and the teacher lends her his towel. She realizes she has fallen in love with him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra begins trying to appeal to the teacher daily. She asks about his relationship status and learns he is single. She indirectly describes him when talking about her type. She leaves a love letter in his shoe locker. He thinks it is a prank but recognizes her handwriting. She keeps trying to convey her feelings, but he never takes her seriously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra&#039;s behavior becomes obvious in class. She eagerly volunteers to answer questions and is overly happy when called on. Her classmates are amazed she can talk to the scary teacher so cheerfully. She learns everyone fears him. She asks why he became a teacher, and he admits his parents were teachers and he had wanted to be a singer but never pursued it. He wonders if there is any meaning to his life. Alexandra feels sorrow and wants him to be happy. She begins planning to improve his reputation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey appears and offers to grant any wish. Alexandra wants to capture the teacher&#039;s heart through her own efforts. She decides not to make a wish yet. She organizes a surprise birthday party for him with her classmates. He is genuinely happy and thanks her. He realizes she planned it. She tells him all the students respect him. He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra continues her jokes and attempts to get closer to the teacher. She jokes about marriage and asks for a date on the school trip. He unexpectedly agrees to go shopping with her for a few minutes. She hugs him in excitement. A classmate spots them on the rooftop. Rumors spread quickly. The principal calls the teacher in. He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra cannot wake up from the dream. She imagines the teacher scolding her for playing with his feelings. She decides she needs to apologize in real life. She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love. She tells him her feelings were not a deception—they were true love. She thanks him for a wonderful time and says she now only places her faith in Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Urara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara volunteers to do grocery shopping for Lavi. At the supermarket, she gets distracted by flash sales and buys beef, bean sprouts, and curry ingredients. She forgets Lavi&#039;s shopping list. Lavi forgives her but asks her to be more self-controlled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Urara Yume#Side Story|Urara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Urara and Lavi travel to Yukuni. Urara loses her wallet, but Lavi finds it. At the agency, Urara&#039;s manager asks her to coach a children&#039;s diabolo class as a final job. Urara accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the diabolo class, Urara teaches the class alone. Some children struggle to follow her teaching style. Lavi, Alexandra, and Asahi watch from a distance. During lunch, Urara admits she cannot explain techniques well. Lavi analyzes the wrist angles and timing, and the others offer to help. The class is a success.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Urara feels inadequate and misses her former partner, Kurara. She remembers Kurara was better at teaching. Lavi notices Urara is depressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At the agency, Urara confronts Kurara. Kurara reveals she always resented being compared to Urara&#039;s natural talent and felt like &amp;quot;Not-Urara.&amp;quot; She says breaking up the duo was for the best and asks Urara to stop involving herself. Urara is devastated. She returns to Kamihama and cries to Lavi, who comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Urara receives a message from her manager. A girl named Rei from the diabolo class wants more lessons. Urara agrees to meet her. Rei wants to learn the &amp;quot;Urara Special&amp;quot; to beat a prodigy her age. Urara remembers how she unknowingly hurt Kurara by copying her tricks too easily. She decides to coach Rei properly. Lavi offers to stay and help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Nayuta&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta dreams of proving folkloric studies superior to Touka, but Lavi wakes her with obnoxious humming. Lavi scolds her for being a deep sleeper and rushes her to school in Takarazaki City, where Nayuta complains that Lavi acts like a stern stepmother rather than a kind maid her age.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In class, a self‑assessment exercise has Nayuta describe herself as quiet and diligent, but her peers call her stubborn, someone who hates losing and speaks her mind. She reluctantly accepts “stubborn” fits her persistent search for her father. The teacher introduces the Johari Window, explaining that without communication people understand themselves at most fifty percent and others only twenty‑five percent—a lesson that sticks with Nayuta.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Nayuta meets Iroha at the train station. Both are surprised the other remembers them. They discover they are the same grade and both hail from Takarazaki, and Iroha mentions she also searched for a lost loved one. Nayuta requests to see Yachiyo, apologizing for her bluntness. Iroha reassures her, noting they are both stubborn junior‑high girls from Takarazaki who came to Kamihama to find someone important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Yachiyo has no new information about Nayuta’s father. Tsuruno has Nayuta show a photo, but no one recognizes him. Felicia suggests Nayuta simply ask Touka, since she also grew up at Satomi Medical Center. Nayuta refuses, saying she cannot trust Touka, and apologizes for her stubbornness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Nayuta admits to Lavi she slept poorly because she cannot stop thinking about Touka. Mikage arrives, upset after a fight with Sudachi: Mikage complained about school, Sudachi said she envied Mikage for being able to attend, and they argued over whose position was harder.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home.

===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, classmates who used to bully her avoid her, but Mikage is determined to find Magical Girl friends. Himika tells her about Emiri’s counseling center, so they go there together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the center, Emiri, Sasara, Asuka, and Kanoko are delighted to meet Mitama’s little sister. Mikage explains she is looking for a friend, but Emiri points out they are already her friends. After some banter about fashion, Mikage tries on Kanoko’s outfits and has a wonderful time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mikage wonders if the older girls truly see her as a friend or just as a kid. Himika suggests she meet girls her own age like Ui, Touka, and Nemu, though Mikage is uncertain about befriending the geniuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When she returns home, Mitama warns her that Ui has been kidnapped by Promised Blood and forbids Mikage from associating with the Kamihama Magia Union. Mikage reluctantly agrees but is frustrated her efforts to make friends have been stopped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama leaves for work and Mikage accuses her of hypocrisy—Mitama can spend time with the KMU while Mikage cannot. She runs out, declaring she will find a new big sister. She finds Emiri’s office closed but runs into Rika and Ren, who quickly realize she is Mitama’s sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Mikage bond over fashion and go to some cheap stores, where Mikage realizes she left her wallet. They play a crane game instead, and Rika wins stuffed animals for Ren and Mikage. Mikage asks Rika to be her big sister; Rika declines but encourages her to talk to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory. Kanoko lets her help make a pendant, but before Mikage can convince her to become her sister, Mitama arrives and drags her home. Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any. Later, she finds Mitama has made all her favorite foods, and they reconcile off‑screen; Mikage gives Mitama the pendant she made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage declares she will not give up on making Kamihama Magia Union friends. She then decides that since Lavi and Nayuta are older, they can be her big sisters instead. They exchange a look and agree to treat her for one day. Mikage expresses her hope that someday she and Sudachi can play with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, a magical girl named Livia invited Sudachi to Kamihama, where their work might offer her salvation despite its difficult costs. Sudachi followed her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yozuru plays piano at a pharmacist’s request, impressing everyone, then meets Livia Medeiros and Sudachi Sawa. Sudachi exposes Mifuyu, who decides to introduce herself directly. Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yozuru meets Livia and Sudachi again. Yozuru worries she lacks the kindness to be a good coordinator, but Livia encourages her. Sudachi’s stomach rumbles, and Yozuru prepares snacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Livia warns Yozuru that her inability to read emotions will make coordinating difficult. Yozuru replies that her mother trained her to face worse and declares she will live to the fullest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited again. She jokes about the visitor&#039;s persistence. Yozuru and Sudachi return from stocking up on essentials. Sudachi trips, and Yozuru hesitates to help. Livia instructs Yozuru to help Sudachi stand and dust her off. Yozuru apologizes and explains she is not equipped with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the trailer, Yozuru offers tea. Sudachi wants teacakes. Livia allows them to have some as a treat. Livia reflects that she needs to help the girls mature. Yozuru has lost compassion, while Sudachi needs to find her words. Livia believes they will complement each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is found sleeping and crying. Yozuru gives her a handkerchief. Livia says crying in sleep happens occasionally and is common among Coordinators. She thanks Sudachi for finding her dropped ring. Sudachi sulks when Livia refuses to give her sweets as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the ring is a treasure and a way of reprimanding herself. It is the reason she lives for &amp;quot;Mister Sun.&amp;quot; She says she may tell the full story another time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia shares her philosophy: no matter how awful life is, do not drift in a bad direction or relieve resentment with a curse. Magical Girls are born from hope and must overcome struggles with hope. She warns against corrupting purity and urges supporting those with pure hearts. She says she has said enough for now and will share the rest when she is ready. She asks the visitor to promise to live strong, face forward, and not end up like her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Touka and Nemu debate whether Lil&#039; Kyubey is pretending to eat or has internal compression organs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lil&#039; Kyubey takes a train and meets Emiri, then goes to a shop where Natsuki cheers with it. It also helps Himika gather grass.

** Ryo loses sight of Lil&#039; Kyubey. She finds a girl with potential who may have received a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and helps fight the Witch alongside Nanaka. After the battle, Nanaka explains Lil&#039; Kyubey followed her into the labyrinth and returned a flower she dropped. Nanaka asks Ryo to tell Lil&#039; Kyubey to stop visiting unfriendly Magical Girls. Ryo realizes Lil&#039; Kyubey avoids girls with potential and is not soliciting anyone. She writes an article correcting her earlier suspicions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Ui finishes her journal. Touka and Nemu read it and use it as qualitative data. They debate whether Lil&#039; Kyubey is mimicking humans or simply reinforcing Ui&#039;s actions.

She says they will continue together from now on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices.

* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the boy reads the fairy tale Kuroe recommended. He questions a detail in the story, but Kuroe simply accepts it because the writer says so.

* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe dreams of Iroha, though she cannot understand her words. Her Doppel reflects that her contract gave her affirmation of existence, yet she still does not feel like anyone - she simply adapts to whatever situation she is in, resented by no one and dependent on no one, but still wondering who she should be. In the dream, Iroha asks what scares her and offers to figure out who Kuroe is together. Kuroe wakes up wondering why she dreamed of the camping trip, and she calls Iroha, deciding she wants to connect with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroeds&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Doppel Story|Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sasara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara is taken hostage at knifepoint in a convenience store. Despite her desire to be a knight, she is too terrified to act. Though the police arrest the criminal and she is safe, Sasara feels ashamed and hates herself for her cowardice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sasara Minagi#Side Story|Sasara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sasara meets Kyubey and when he makes his offer, Sasara accepts without hesitation. As her father works for an emergency rescue squad, a job she admires, he gave her a favorite picture book about a knight who defeats a dragon to save a village. Sasara carries this book everywhere and has always wanted to be like her father and the knight. She wishes to become a knight who can protect and save people, asking for a stronger heart and stronger convictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Sasara has been hunting witches and saving their victims ever since making her contract. She calls herself the Knight who protects the people of Kamihama, but over time her feelings become tainted. The people she rescues never remember what happened and do not acknowledge her. Sasara realizes she wants someone to appreciate her and questions whether she really wanted to become a knight at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book. She thought she could accept the people she helped not talking to her, but now it feels like she does not even exist. When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nanaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Needs to be re-checked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako to ask for their help fighting a witch they all share a connection to. To explain why she needs them, Nanaka tells them how she became a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka&#039;s father headed a traditional Japanese flower arranging school, but when he fell ill, senior students took over and grew the school&#039;s popularity while abandoning its traditions, shutting out Nanaka&#039;s family entirely. On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform. She decided to lay the Soul Gem with its owner&#039;s body, and when she placed the gem in the girl&#039;s hands, the girl began breathing again. Later, Kyubey explained that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Kyubey asks if Nanaka will tell the others this secret, but she says she is waiting for the right moment. Nanaka then reflects that her true revenge target is actually Kyubey himself. Her power makes it clear he is her enemy, though she does not know all the details, and she is waiting for the right time to turn against him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Nanaka&#039;s team is still unable to find the witch. Akira reports meeting a magical girl mercenary. As the girls plan their next move, Nanaka muses about how she is gathering the determination of magical girls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Re-check.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuku enjoys time with her friends but feels disconnected from them and uncertain about her future. She finds comfort in Fūnī, a traveler who visits her family&#039;s cafe and shares his dream of finding a place to belong. When he invites her to search with him, she feels hopeful that she will not be alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* As a magical girl, Shizuku gains the power to connect spaces, allowing her to travel the world much like Fūnī once did. She continues her search, taking jobs from an unknown magical girl who pays her to use her power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day after a job, Yachiyo Nanami, Tsuruno Yui, and Iroha Tamaki approach her. Iroha invites Shizuku to their house, where she meets Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba. She stays for dinner and overnight, observing how the five girls live together like a family. Yachiyo invites her to stay as long as she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku realizes the other girls have found their place to belong, but she understands that her own place was with Fūnī. She cries as his last words finally make sense to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, Shizuku ends her arrangement with the unknown magical girl and returns to Yachiyo&#039;s house, hoping she can stay there. When she arrives, the house is empty, and she sees the personal items that mark each girl&#039;s place. Overhearing them return, she realizes their home is complete with five people and she does not belong there. She leaves quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and the others had prepared a welcome party with cake, but Shizuku never comes. Yachiyo senses that Shizuku might disappear if you look away and admits she should have seen this coming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku returns to the unknown magical girl and asks for more work. When asked why she came back, she says their picture was complete with five people and she must keep searching for where she belongs. She mentally apologizes to Yachiyo, knowing her actions will cause disaster but feeling unprepared to take responsibility. She wonders if she will ever find solid ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After Nanaka and Sasara contracts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Akira wakes from a dream about being attacked by a familiar and finds Sasara Minagi nearby, who is out for a walk. Sasara offers to help Akira search for an old man&#039;s lost cane, recalling she saw children playing with a red cane, and the two head off together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akira Shinobu#Side Story|Akira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akira reflects on her upbringing in her father&#039;s karate dojo, where she learned to always help those in need and earned the neighborhood nickname &amp;quot;Troubleshooter&amp;quot; starting at age six.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira started middle school, a girl asked her to be a bodyguard against a stalker. The girl brought her to a park, confessed her love, and admitted to lying about the stalker. Akira politely rejected her, saying she didn&#039;t know much about that sort of thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Akira learned the girl had vanished and spent days searching for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day Akira found the barrier, she retraced the girl&#039;s steps in the park and stepped into a witch&#039;s labyrinth. She found the missing girl among blank-faced victims marked by a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Kyubey appeared, explained about witches and magical girls, and offered a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Familiars attacked and overwhelmed her despite her karate training. Injured, Akira wished to save all those people, transformed, and destroyed the familiars.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, none of the victims remembered the incident. Kyubey told Akira she needed to defeat the witch itself, which became her destiny as a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a magical girl, Akira patrolled Kamihama investigating witch-related incidents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day, she encountered a familiar without transforming and dropped her Soul Gem. Unable to retrieve it, she fled the barrier and collapsed unconscious outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira woke, Nanaka Tokiwa introduced herself as the magical girl who found her and picked up her Soul Gem. Nanaka advised withdrawing since Akira had collapsed, and Akira reluctantly agreed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Nanaka called asking for a favor. When they met again, Nanaka requested a duel, claiming Akira was weak and should quit hunting witches. Akira refused, citing her family&#039;s dojo, and they dueled. After some fighting, Nanaka ended the duel and apologized. She explained she wanted to test Akira&#039;s resolve and invited her to work together as a team. Akira relented after Nanaka claimed she was troubled and couldn&#039;t fight witches alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present day, Akira returns the cane to the old man and thanks Sasara. She reflects on meeting many magical girls since joining Nanaka and wonders how many exist in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Manaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes Manaka cooking at her family&#039;s failing restaurant, Walnuts. She dreams of following her father&#039;s footsteps as a chef and believes that gaining admission to the prestigious St. Lillianna Academy will help her cook like a high class lady and restore the restaurant&#039;s popularity. Kyubey notes her poor grades make passing unlikely, but Manaka insists this is her father&#039;s last chance and resolves to study.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Manaka Kurumi#Side Story|Manaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Meanwhile, her father receives invitations to tour as a chef and seems genuinely happy traveling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt; Manaka questions why she even bothered trying.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Manaka finishes selling bentos and keeps one for herself. Sana Futaba rushes in, upset at arriving too late.

Sana accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana promises to arrive earlier tomorrow, but Manaka reveals this may be her last day selling bentos. She admits she thinks she made her restaurant even more obscure, and if she is not helping it, she sees no point in cooking.

Seeing Sana smile gives Manaka new motivation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* A documentary crew follows Ria Ami, whose natural beauty causes crowds to part, though she admits she has no basis for comparison when asked about her challenges. Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ria asks Manaka to be her bodyguard while buying the magazine featuring her article, wearing sunglasses to avoid being seen. Inside, she discovers her article occupies only one page, while Yachiyo has an eight-page spread.

She explains that to get others to open up, you must share the secrets that create distance.&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, the girls reconvene at the restaurant. Hazuki proposes a new rule: anyone who uses magic against a Witch gains proportional rights to the Grief Seed. Both teams agree, and Hazuki suggests they gather data by hunting together. They split into mixed teams—Ayame and Kako form one; Hazuki, Akira, and Meiyui another and Konoha and Nanaka stand by to help as needed. After the successful joint hunt, Nanaka meets with Hazuki alone at the restaurant. She reveals she believes Hazuki manipulated the entire situation from the first meeting, noting that her team was impressed with Hazuki&#039;s group&#039;s teamwork but that she herself was more struck by Hazuki&#039;s modus operandi. Nanaka asks why Hazuki orchestrated everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki admits she wanted Konoha, who is introverted, to connect with others and that after the Witch fight, Konoha seemed genuinely happy. She explains her goal was simply to build connections between her group and other Kamihama Magical Girls. Nanaka accepts this and says she&#039;s glad to work with her. Later, Hazuki writes in her notebook that Nanaka is shrewd but fascinating, and she resolves to continue reaching out to other Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ayame&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame encounters Felicia during a Witch fight, and their rivalry quickly escalates when Felicia dismisses Ayame&#039;s challenge to lead the girls to argue and accidentally let the Witch escape. Frustrated by losing to Felicia specifically, Ayame confronts her afterward, and despite Kako&#039;s attempts to mediate, the two insist on settling things through some competition. Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch. Emerging back in the park, Felicia thanks Ayame, and they realize the race was never finished. They resume, but Ayame admits she&#039;s fine with not winning and she has come to accept Felicia as a strong rival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ayamess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ayame Mikuri#Side Story|Ayame&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Masara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro gives Masara cookies simply because she wants to, leaving Masara confused by the gesture. Masara flashes back to their first meeting, when Kokoro had blamed herself for being unable to protect others and Masara told her she should not carry that guilt. Kokoro had asked to stay by Masara&#039;s side, explaining that those words had saved her. In the present, Kokoro asks what Masara is thinking about, and when Masara admits she was remembering their first meeting, Kokoro smiles. Masara does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Masara Kagami#Side Story|Masara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara visits Mitama for magical strengthening, bringing many Grief Seeds with her. Mitama notes her unusual enthusiasm, and Masara explains she wants to get stronger in order to find something that might change her life. Mitama suggests she try attending a summer festival and hands her a flyer, but Masara shows no interest. When Mitama brings up Kokoro, mentioning that Kokoro has talked about her, Masara insists they are merely working together, not friends, and finds Kokoro&#039;s expectations troublesome. Mitama claims Masara is actually worried about Kokoro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara reflects on her childhood, remembering how her parents had her swim from a young age. Despite showing talent, she never felt any joy or sense of accomplishment, though she continued hoping it might eventually change. It never did. She became a magical girl thinking her dull life might finally become interesting, but even that eventually grew boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead. The Witch targets Kokoro, and Masara injures herself by blocking the attack. The Witch escapes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro apologizes, but Masara claims she only did what was most logical, since the Witch could not have been defeated alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Masara keeps flashing back to the moment the Witch attacked Kokoro whenever she looks at her injury. The recurring memory bothers her, though she does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Kokoro offers to hunt the Witch again with Masara. Masara flashes back to the previous fight and insists she will hunt it alone. She tells Kokoro she is a burden and that she does not like getting hurt. Masara leaves Kokoro crying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara tells Mitama what happened. Mitama suggests Masara was actually trying to protect Kokoro. Masara is at a loss and wonders why being around Kokoro causes her to get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro blames herself for causing Masara trouble. She senses the same Witch and, respecting Masara&#039;s wish to hunt alone, decides to fight it by herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help. Masara agrees and tells Kokoro to call her next time. When Kokoro worries about causing trouble, Masara insists she is doing it for herself, because she does not like seeing Kokoro get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro asks if she can call Masara during lunch. Masara says she does not care either way. The two go to Mitama&#039;s place together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro notices the summer festival flyer and asks if Masara is interested. Masara admits she is a little interested. Mitama laughs and says they can look forward to the future when there is something or someone important. Kokoro and Masara are confused by her comment, which exasperates Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks to herself that Masara will become stronger now that she has something to protect. For the first time, Masara finds herself thinking about the future, though she does not know why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Konomi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi welcomes Kaede and Kako to the flower shop where she works part-time. She began working at Blossom because the florist once comforted her as a crying child with a single flower, and now Konomi does the same for other children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konomi Haruna#Side Story|Konomi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a customer leaves, Kaede and Kako help the florist carry supplies. The florist recently returned from the hospital, having survived a serious illness.

Desperate to help, she wished to Kyubey to cure the florist&#039;s illness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;!--The Flashback: Their First Meeting--&amp;gt;Kaede and Kako visit the shop for the first time. Kako searches for a specific flower, which Konomi identifies. During tea break, Kako explains she read about the flowers in a novel and wants to buy some for a friend&#039;s birthday. Kaede admits she has never given flowers but receiving them once felt wonderful. Konomi smiles and says she has an idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of the flower giveaway, Konomi, Kaede, and Kako take to the streets, suddenly appearing to hand bouquets to strangers before disappearing. A lottery winner, a despairing old man, and a boy who just got a girl&#039;s number all receive flowers. Later, the girls reunite. Kaede gave to ten people, Kako to thirteen. Konomi apologizes, but they agree to try again the day after tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Konomi, Kaede, and Kako realize they are the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi panics, fearing they have made people hate flowers. They notice a little girl crying because her mother refused to buy her a toy ring. Konomi offers a flower, but the girl wants a ring. Kako fashions the flower into a ring, and the girl calls it pretty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi realizes they have been giving flowers without understanding what recipients truly want. She decides to create something more meaningful. Inspired by Kaede&#039;s mention of birthday flowers and Kako&#039;s knowledge of flower language, they plan an arrangement that speaks to people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi and the girls create a birthday cake made of fifty flowers, with chocolate and candy inside. The cake incorporates birth flowers so greetings can be communicated through their language. They prepare a fair at the shop to showcase it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi shows the cake to the florist, who gives a muted reaction and announces her retirement, planning to leave Konomi the shop.

The three girls reveal they are Magical Girls, track down the Witch, and destroy it together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Hinano, Emiri, Ria, Manaka, Akira&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Rika is invited to a blind date by Emiri Kisaki, who brings along Hinano Miyako, a girl recently heartbroken. When the boys on the date mock Hinano&#039;s youthful appearance and odd way of speaking, Rika surprises her by defending them. Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her. Emiri and Rika quickly reassure Hinano, with Rika adding that Hinano is actually cool for having been able to confess her feelings—unlike Rika, who never confessed at all and watched her crush end up with someone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri then suggests Rika should make a wish, revealing that she and Hinano are magical girls who each received one wish in exchange for fighting monsters. Rika wonders if this is some kind of game. Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika muses that her wish was granted and she is now dating her crush, yet she feels deeply unhappy. When Kyubey asks what is wrong, she admits that every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens with unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mayu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mayu is a third-year student at Mizuna Academy who works part-time at the Kamihama Contemporary Art Museum. When she accidentally breaks the museum director&#039;s cup, her boss handles the situation calmly and kindly. After work, she meets her friend Sayuki Fumino outside the museum, and when Sayuki cannot stay, Mayu&#039;s boss offers to accompany her to an exhibit instead. They later go to a cafe, where Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi are also present. Ria grows increasingly annoyed overhearing Mayu&#039;s conversation with her boss, particularly when he hints at wanting to take her somewhere else and praises her cooking. At home that evening, Mayu cooks for her mother and asks if her father would have eaten her cooking, wondering what life would be like if he were still alive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayu Kozue#Side Story|Mayu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at school, Mayu talks with Sayuki about the sword exhibit. She then heads to work, and after her shift ends, her boss mentions his wife and child are away and invites her out to eat. Mayu declines. As she leaves, she forgets her phone, and her boss rushes to return it, asking again about dinner with growing intensity. Ria suddenly appears and bumps into him, yelling at them for flirting and demanding they sit for a lecture. Mayu&#039;s boss says she ruined it and leaves. Ria warns Mayu that her sweet, innocent air attracts older men and that if things continue, his family will fall apart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home that night, Mayu reflects on the day she learned of her father&#039;s death and on Ria&#039;s words. Kyubey appears and offers a contract. Thinking she does not want her boss&#039;s family to suffer the same hardship her family did, Mayu makes her wish: to stop his family from breaking apart. That night, she narrates that her boss transferred to a new job, and she is sure her wish was granted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later at school, Mayu finds boys have started hitting on her. Ria constantly steps in to drive them off. Before Ria can finish telling Mayu to shape up, they both sense a Witch. The girls reveal they are Magical Girls, and they track the Witch to the museum&#039;s special exhibit room. Sayuki suddenly appears and reveals she is also a Magical Girl. During the fight, Mayu notices the Witch only targets Ria. She asks Sayuki to lend her strength and launches a surprise attack, destroying the Witch. Afterward, Mayu thinks that to protect people she must think clearly before acting, and Ria admits Mayu was more reliable than usual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As a child, Sayuki attends an idol performance with her parents, but when the crowd becomes dangerously wild, she is almost squeezed to death, leaving her with lasting trauma.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayuki Fumino#Side Story|Sayuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Growing up in a happy family, Sayuki develops a deep interest in katanas that creates a gap between her and her classmates. Though they respect her passion, she feels lonely without someone to share it with. This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert. Sayuki believes speaking out is important no matter the outcome and swears to protect the kind people who have been kind to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka.

===Riko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Sis = Miss K. Check what Exedra says&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Years ago, Riko spent her childhood with a cheerful older neighbor girl she called &amp;quot;Sis&amp;quot; while her parents worked long hours at their family bento shop. They grew as close as sisters until Sis became engaged to marry someone far away. When Sis&#039;s father suddenly opposed the match despite approving it before, Riko wished upon Kyubey that everyone would give their blessings to the marriage. Her wish worked, and Sis moved away happily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Riko Chiaki#Side Story|Riko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Riko struggles with loneliness waiting alone at home while her parents work overtime. One night, after they call to say they cannot return until after midnight due to a huge order, years of broken promises finally overwhelm her. She snaps, calls them liars who were never there for her like Sis was, and tells them she hates them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko goes Witch hunting to vent her stress but nearly dies against a stronger Witch. In that moment, despair crushes her and she wishes she had never made her wish so Sis would still be there. Tsukasa, a regular at her family&#039;s shop, finds her crying and listens as Riko confides everything about her feelings and what happened with Sis. Speaking from experience, Tsukasa tells her that separation is no excuse for broken contact and recommends she reach out to Sis directly. Riko messages Sis that night before falling asleep exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sis replies promptly. She explains she wanted to contact Riko but left home after arguing with her father and thought a visit would be awkward. She also reveals she was hospitalized to give birth and only discharged that day, inviting Riko to come see her instead. When Riko asks her parents for permission, expecting them to refuse, they apologize sincerely and grant permission for the trip.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Riko visits Sis with her parents. Sis introduces her husband and newborn daughter, hoping Riko will get along with her child just as they once got along. Riko makes a silent promise to be a good sister to this baby and aims to grow into a fine lady, just like Sis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maria&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Maria bids her parents goodbye for the day. Her mother gives her money for dinner, which Maria insists on keeping only a small portion of, and Maria mentions she will be at her part‑time daycare job after school. On her way to school, she runs into two little girls, one of whom attends the daycare where she works.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the daycare, the children swarm Maria with requests. She notices a boy named Shin‑kun looking down and tries to find out what is wrong, but he does not want to talk. Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work. Maria suggests she spend a day with Shin to reconnect, and Shin’s mother agrees. Maria promises to put together a plan by the weekend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Maria’s classmates tease her about being a widow with a love child, and she plays along before explaining she is helping a mother and son from the daycare. Later she presents her weekend plans to Shin’s mother, who is impressed and begins looking forward to the outing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, Maria goes to the park where she knows Shin and his mother should be. She watches as they struggle to connect: Shin wants to play in a fountain, but his mother cannot explain why he should not, and they end up standing awkwardly. Maria pretends to run into them and decides to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to the playground, where Maria encourages Shin to try a tightrope bridge. When he gets nervous, she prompts his mother to take his hand, and together they cross. After lunch, Shin’s mother gets a call from work asking her to come in on her day off. She agrees, and Shin looks heartbroken. Maria offers to watch Shin until dark, and his mother gratefully accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria takes Shin to various places, and he sadly remarks that his mother is too busy for him. Understanding his loneliness, Maria vows to make the day special. At the aquarium she convinces him to see a show he ends up loving. As evening falls, they stop for takoyaki, and Maria explains that his mother tells him not to eat while walking for good reasons. Shin finally understands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shin’s mother appears, explaining work no longer needs her. She admits she has trouble expressing herself, but Shin overhears and hugs her. They both confess they thought the other did not love them. Maria shares that she was often lonely as a child but still loved her parents, and she tells Shin’s mother she does not need to be perfect. Shin shows his mother the souvenir and the last piece of takoyaki he saved for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As darkness falls, Maria walks home alone. She reflects on whether she could ever be a good mother, remembering Kyubey’s revelation that her Soul Gem is her actual soul and her body is merely a vessel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mel stays home after her reading warns of lethal danger, but Kanagi dismisses her concerns and drags her to school anyway. On the way, a Witch targets only Mel before escaping, and a possessed car then attempts to run her down. She flees west into the Mizuno region, where Yachiyo saves her. Despite Kanagi&#039;s warnings about discrimination from the West, Yachiyo&#039;s kindness puts her at ease, and Mel accepts her invitation to stay. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she requests to join Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kanagi gives permission. From that day, Mel bonds with Mifuyu, Tsuruno, and Momoko as part of her new team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One other day, Mel arrives excitedly with entirely positive readings and offers to read the team&#039;s fortunes. Despite Yachiyo&#039;s skepticism, Mel coaxes her into a session predicting a career breakthrough.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Yachiyo announces with disbelief that she was chosen for a nationwide magazine feature on Kamihama&#039;s cafes. Mifuyu and Momoko then receive positive readings about a matchmaking and exam results.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes. Afterward they visit Mitama, who suggests they train in Endless Mirrors if they plan to remain independent rather than join Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Temari and Mikura commute to school exhausted. Temari stayed up testing a new metal pen, and Mikura correctly guesses she is in modern literature mode.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Temari is distracted thinking about Witch strategies while Mikura worries about Seira, who had fallen asleep in class from exhaustion. Seira joins them, and Temari suggests they create their own space to escape the stress of magical girl life. Seira proposes forming a school club where they can pursue their hobbies freely, and they agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Seira secures an empty classroom as a provisional club room under the name Historical Research Club. On paper they study history, but in reality it becomes their oasis for reading, watching films, and relaxing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the girls are enjoying their club activities, yet Temari still feels unsettled about not knowing her magic. Mikura reflects that they have been following Temari’s suggestions lately—staying independent, creating the club—but says she will mention it if she notices anything. When Mikura asks what Temari is reading, Temari replies she is still on the same author, and Mikura calls her as unpredictable as ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Hotori&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Last part is after the tea drinking moon party&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hotori and her twin Rion prepare for a school camping trip. Hotori gets distracted watching her favorite sentai show, Dragoon Red, and Rion teases her for still liking children’s fantasy. Hotori wants to bring her notebook of heroic quotes, but Rion tells her not to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Her classmates notice her notebook and encourage her to become who she wants to be.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At camp, Hotori’s group hikes through the forest. She is frightened by insects, and when Rion appears and drives her friends away, Hotori ends up scolded for letting her sister interfere. Reading quotes from her heroes, she manages to calm herself and finishes the hike feeling she has changed a little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During archery, Hotori struggles to pull the bowstring but remembers Dragoon Red’s words about perseverance and manages to shoot. Rion performs better, but Hotori’s friends cheer her up. Rion later mentions the night’s test of courage, and though Hotori is scared, she refuses to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

There Hotori realizes she left her notebook behind; Rion goes back to retrieve it but does not return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotori lies to the teachers and searches the forest. She finds Kyubey, who offers her a contract: any wish in exchange for becoming a magical girl who fights witches. When she finds Rion acting strangely, Kyubey explains Rion has a witch’s kiss. Rion enters a witch’s barrier, and Hotori follows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Terrified but thinking of Dragoon Red’s words, Hotori makes her wish: “I wish to be a hero strong enough to protect Rion.” She defeats the witch alone, saves Rion, and is relieved when her sister wakes up safe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Months later, Hotori now fights witches with a team. During one battle she freezes and is saved by Rion and Yukika Nanase. Yukika asks about Hotori’s notebook, and Hotori explains she wants to be brave like the sentai heroes. Yukika privately knows the truth from another timeline: the twins’ memories were altered by Rion’s wish, and Hotori’s original wish may have been to become strong enough to protect Rion. Hotori, unaware, continues striving to be a hero.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Meguru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;

===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Eternal Sakura begins as a story Iroha tells to Ui, Touka, and Nemu at the hospital—a tale of a girl waiting by a sakura tree to reunite with her three friends. Nemu loves it so much she writes it down, naming it the Eternal Sakura of Promises. That is Sakura&#039;s beginning, though she is only words in a notebook.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When Walpurgisnacht attacks and the crisis ends, Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu finally come to her meadow, reunited at last. The sakura tree bursts into bloom.

Ryo asks to interview Ikumi for a Magius newsletter about why she became a magical girl, and Ikumi agrees in exchange for hearing Ryo&#039;s story later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ikumi Makino#Side Story|Ikumi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi explains how in middle school she dreamed of becoming an idol despite lacking talent, while her friend Yumi dreamed of volleyball. They realized they could fulfill each other&#039;s dreams instead. Yumi became a volleyball ace while Ikumi pursued idol training, though she struggled because her natural personality kept slipping through her cutesy act and she failed to gain recognition. Kyubey repeatedly offered her a contract, but she refused because wishing for her dream would mean she never achieved it through hard work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In high school, Ikumi worked at a school-organized maid cafe that gave struggling students performance opportunities. Though other girls were scouted for idol work and customers called her old-fashioned, she built a small fanbase. When the cafe was forced to close due to building eviction, Ikumi grieved alone on the final night. Kyubey appeared and reminded her that her wish didn&#039;t have to be for her own dream. Thinking of how much the cafe meant to her and others who dreamed there, she wished for it to continue running.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her wish came true when the landowner, moved by the final performance, sold the cafe to the school who remodeled and reopened it. Later, while fighting a witch, Ikumi was saved by another magical girl who turned out to be Yumi. Yumi revealed she had wished for someone to recognize Ikumi&#039;s talents and give her an idol chance. The two teamed up and spent a happy year together hunting witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day they encountered a powerful witch who badly injured Yumi&#039;s leg, threatening her sports scholarship. In despair, Yumi unleashed her doppel. Ryo appeared and helped them escape, and Mitama later explained about doppels. Soon after, Mifuyu approached them with a healer who restored Yumi&#039;s leg. Mifuyu explained about witches and the Wings of Magius, who aimed to liberate magical girls from this fate. Ikumi immediately joined, grateful for Yumi&#039;s healing and hating the thought of losing her dream or becoming a witch. Yumi eventually joined too, and Mifuyu introduced them as Black Feathers to Ryo, who recognized Ikumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Ryo thanks Ikumi for her story and suggests she stop forcing the idol personality since she naturally slips out of it anyway. Ikumi cries about being bullied before realizing she is late for work and runs off, promising to see Ryo tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* At Kosho Academy, Seira Mihono searches for a protagonist with a secret for her new film. Her classmates suggest Rui, a mysterious girl who never talks about herself. Rui, who knows the rumors are untrue, feels guilty.

===Akari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari wakes Hotaru after school. Hotaru notices Akari&#039;s Puchi-Usa keychain, which Haruto drew for her when she was young. Akari decides to tell Hotaru about her wish and how she became a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akari Mai#Side Story|Akari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari explains that she has always loved Haruto, but he treats her only as a little sister. When Haruto entered high school, he stopped walking with her due to club activities. Akari heard a rumor that Haruto was dating his club manager. Distressed, she wished to Kyubey to become 16 years old like Mimiko-chan, the transforming heroine she admired.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her wish only allowed her to transform temporarily. She turned back into an elementary schooler afterward. Akari regretted not wishing for everyone to perceive her as 16 from the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Akari patrolled for Witches and found Haruto under a Witch&#039;s Kiss. She saved him in her 16-year-old form. Haruto did not recognize her and thanked her as a stranger. He gave her his jacket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari returned Haruto&#039;s jacket, claiming a stranger asked her to return it. Haruto admitted he had fallen in love with the girl who saved him—not realizing it was Akari.

* The bunny Nene died. Akari cried. Haruto came to give her a new Puchi-Usa keychain but hid it when he saw her crying. He comforted her and told her it was okay to cry. Akari loved his kindness and subtle thoughtfulness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari ran into Haruto while patrolling. Haruto was looking for the 16-year-old girl. Akari became jealous and badmouthed her 16-year-old self, calling her suspicious and a liar. Haruto got angry at Akari for speaking ill of someone she did not know. Akari ran away, feeling she was not worthy of him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari hid in an alley. Haruto came looking for her. A Witch appeared, and Haruto was under another Witch&#039;s Kiss. Hotaru appeared and caught Haruto with a pillow before he could jump. Hotaru and Akari defeated the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotaru revealed she had been watching over Akari since the bunny hutch. She told Akari that her kindness was one of her good points. Akari realized the 16-year-old version Haruto fell for was still a part of her. Hotaru encouraged her to apologize properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari, still in her 16-year-old form, lied to Haruto that she had taken Akari under her protection. Haruto was relieved and admitted he was too harsh with Akari. He said he did not want her to become someone who speaks ill of others. Akari apologized to Haruto in person. Haruto forgave her and said he was proud of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari resolved to become a wonderful adult on her own, without magic, and capture Haruto&#039;s heart when she was truly 16. She thanked Hotaru for giving her the push to apologize but Hotaru fell asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ryoko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryoko’s story begins at Suitoku Temple, the Tokime Tribe’s base, which was slated for demolition while officials hid the harm it would cause.

Raised by her grandfather in a strict Buddhist temple, she is told her mother was a hero who saved the country yet died and left her behind.

===Kush&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama’s adjuster shop, Karin Misono finds Kush sleeping inside the tent. Mitama explains that Kush cannot stay awake during the day due to her wish: “I just want the morning to never come.” Kush reveals she made her wish because she longed to live in a fantasy world like the one in her favorite book, &#039;Good‑Bye Fable,&#039; and her magical girl outfit resembles the story’s protagonist. Ui Tamaki and Little Kyubey arrive, and Kush briefly attacks Little Kyubey, mistaking him for the Kyubey she despises. Over tea, Mitama notices Kush’s long canine teeth stained red and later receives a message from her sister Mikage about a rumor of a vampire girl in the Hokuyo Mountains. Karin and Kush agree to investigate together, but Kush runs off to her night class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kush can see in the dark and leads them, but she is still sleepy. They find a discarded camera containing a video of Rui Mizuki dropping it and disappearing. When a mysterious sound frightens the others, they accidentally leave Kush behind. Left alone, Kush eats cherry tomatoes and senses a witch. The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one. They also learn that Rui is Kush’s friend; she had filmed Kush entering the barrier before being caught by it. The group later glimpses a white‑haired silhouette and flees, thinking a real vampire might exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley posts a video warning others to stay away from the mountains. At Mitama’s shop, Ui hears about the incident and learns the vampire was just a misunderstanding.

===Homura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Homura Akemi in Magia Record#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is flooded with more memories of her other self preparing for Walpurgisnacht with allies. She wonders if there might be a real possibility for salvation in this timeline, where no one has to be sacrificed. However, she believes it has nothing to do with her. She breaks out of the labyrinth and the dream ends. Kyubey asks if she was curious about what happened to her other self. Homura says it does not matter; she believes in Madoka&#039;s words that her efforts will not be in vain. A new universe is about to be born, and Homura must protect it for Madoka&#039;s sake. Kyubey states they will both forget Madoka, but Homura is determined to never forget her.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new universe where Witches do not exist, Kyoko is surprised to find Sayaka has disappeared. Mami explains the Law of Cycles causes Magical Girls to disappear when they lose hope. Homura cries as she remembers Madoka, but neither Mami nor Kyoko know who Madoka is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka spend the day together in Kamihama, enjoying each other’s company until they encounter Ria Ami, a model and magical girl who has already defeated the witch they were tracking. Ria invites them to tea and later takes them to the fashion district, where she notices that Homura’s attention never leaves Madoka. Admitting her jealousy, Ria says she wishes someone would look at her the same way, and Homura replies that she will protect Madoka. After Ria departs, Homura thinks that even if Madoka does not realize how cool she is, she will still save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Homura steals weapons from a group called the Soukaihou using her time stop, but she is caught afterward by Meiyui Chun, a magical girl affiliated with the group. Instead of punishing her, Meiyui thanks her for taking weapons that belonged to troublemakers and invites Homura to share mapo tofu. Over the meal, Meiyui learns Homura fights to protect someone precious to her and says she understands, offering her support and suggesting the spicy dish whenever the burden becomes too painful to bear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Homura is practicing her shooting alone when Natsuki Utsuho, a magical girl who cheers for others, offers to encourage her. Natsuki deduces Homura’s time stop ability and gives advice that significantly improves her aim. When Natsuki suggests Homura ask Mami to coach her, Homura calls, and Mami arrives within an hour. Mami uses her ribbons to move within Homura’s time stop during a sparring match, praising her rapid progress afterward. Homura agrees to return to Mitakihara with Mami, reflecting that she will keep moving forward to become a magical girl capable of protecting Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Sayaka arrives in Kamihama City to go shopping with Kyosuke Kamijou, though she insists it is not a date. When she hears a scream, she runs toward it and discovers Hinano Miyako at an empty elementary school. Hinano explains she was bumped on the head while setting up the chemistry lab, and Sayaka decides to help investigate. They find the culprit was a baseball that flew through the window from the baseball club practicing outside. Hinano returns the ball to a child and gives Sayaka a perfume she made, wishing her good luck on her date despite Sayaka&#039;s protests.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later in the shopping district, Emiri Kisaki approaches Sayaka, drawn by the perfume.

* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart. She also finds Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, who were never supposed to become magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Panicking because she cannot prevent magical girls from becoming witches in this universe, Madoka investigates. She discovers the source blocking her intervention originated when the Holy Quintet first visited Kamihama, and she observes how Touka and Nemu—fated to die in every other universe—are alive and plotting with the Magius to lure Walpurgis Night to hatch Eve. Madoka reflects that their plan, if successful, would achieve what she herself accomplished. Unsure whether to intervene, she decides to investigate further and chooses Iroha as her next focal point, since this is the only universe where Iroha contracted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka observes Iroha’s past and finds the singular difference: on a normal day, Iroha took her usual shortcut but accidentally kicked a small pebble, nearly making her late. This tiny butterfly effect led to Iroha contracting and Ui, Nemu, and Touka surviving, derailing the universe’s fate. Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka decides not to interfere, fearing a clash that could destroy the universe.

She witnesses a spatial distortion connecting Mitakihara to Kamihama City and begins to suspect Kamihama might hold the key to changing the future. Oriko sends Kirika to Kamihama under the pretense of buying tea, instructing her to gather information from Mami and other magical girls there. She then takes Yuma to Kamihama herself, leaving her inside a witch barrier knowing Kyoko will come to rescue her. While exploring Kamihama for answers, Oriko nearly dies inside a powerful witch barrier and realizes she needs Kirika&#039;s help to continue. Kirika eventually returns home safely, reporting that Mami and Kyoko are also investigating Kamihama and that the city has an unusually high number of witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* After Mitakihara City’s school closing ceremony, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura walk out together. Sayaka is glad the term is over, Madoka is excited, and Homura admits she will feel lonely without seeing them every day. Sayaka ruffles her hair and says they can still meet over break, whether hunting witches or hanging out. Madoka suggests visiting Mizuna Shrine in Kamihama for New Year’s to draw “Ultimate Fortunes.” Sayaka has other plans but encourages them to go together. After she leaves, Madoka asks Homura if she knows how to put on formal wear. Homura does not, so Madoka invites her to a kimono‑dressing class she found, saying she wanted the two of them to dress up with Sayaka but lacked the courage to go alone. Homura agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class, the instructor dresses them first; Madoka thinks Homura looks beautiful, and Homura calls Madoka cute. When the actual lesson begins, Madoka struggles badly and trips, while Homura learns quickly enough that the instructor says she will have no trouble. Madoka takes a break outside, feeling useless. Sayaka happens by and asks why she wanted to dress up in the first place - to have fun. Sayaka tells her not to overthink; even if she makes mistakes, she will still have the memories.

Aimi mentions she is shopping for materials to knit a scarf or gloves for a boy named Hayato.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** &#039;&#039;&#039;Third Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes: buy a lucky bag costing one million Magica. They search for a store and take a break at a cafe. They see Ria being interviewed and overhear a boy named Hayato saying he needs a warmer scarf. They find Kokoro and Masara, who lead them to a stationery lucky bag. Kokoro mentions Tsukasa is still looking for Tsukuyo. Madoka wants to help Tsukasa, and Homura agrees. They find Tsukuyo, who has been wandering and dropped something important.

Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko and Nagisa meet the teacher and children at the park. The kids immediately recognize Kyoko, so the pair double down on the movie lie. The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the performance, Kyoko and Sayaka use quick‑change costumes while Nagisa sneaks discarded clothes off set. The children are awed by the glowing weapons and effects, explained with lighting tricks and soap bubbles. After the class leaves, the group reviews the footage and decides to keep a copy. Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko returns the props to Sayuki, then visits an aquarium to pass time. As she leaves, she spots the same kindergarteners, detects a witch, and rushes to fight it. She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She is hunting for discounted Valentine&#039;s chocolate. She visits Sugar Plum but finds the chocolate coins sold out. She runs into Kyoko.

** At the Pink Tapir station store, a clerk informs them the sale has moved to a new outlet location and gives them a map. On the way, a delivery truck carrying the chocolate coins is possessed by a Witch&#039;s Kiss and goes on a rampage. Nagisa and Kyoko chase it, jump onto the truck, and enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Nagisa uses her forbidden technique to defeat the Witch. The truck and other vehicles are unharmed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the outlet store and buy the chocolate coins. Nagisa reflects on her memory of eating Pink Tapir chocolate coins for the first time at a hospital charity event when her mother was sick. She wonders if this universe&#039;s Nagisa would have had the same experience. She and Kyoko hurry to Mami&#039;s chocolate party. Kyoko reveals she bought a chocolate cake from Sugar Plum for everyone. Nagisa shares her pink chocolate coins. Mami is happy they are getting along. The next day, the chocolate hunt continues. At the outlet store, Ms. Saotome buys chocolate coins for a hospital charity event, continuing the tradition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Ria, Mayu, and Manaka give the sisters their rented beach space, and the sisters end up spending the day with Team Yachiyo in a water pistol shooting match. They have more fun than they expected, but Tsukuyo suffers a heat stroke and is cared for by the group after Tsukasa panics. When Tsukasa tries to repay the favor, Yachiyo jokes that she should quit the Wings of Magius, then smiles when Tsukasa refuses as expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede, Rena, and Momoko have picked out new swimsuits. Momoko could not buy one because she spent her allowance on a concert tour. They decide to go to the beach together. Kaede mentions that Mikazuki Villa is renting a lodge for a study camp. Rena asks Yachiyo if they can join. Yachiyo agrees. They arrive at the lodge. Yachiyo announces that everyone must complete ten pages of homework per subject per day before they can play.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rena &amp;amp; Kaede (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena negotiates with Yachiyo: if they can finish all three days&#039; worth of homework in one day, they can play at the beach tomorrow. Everyone agrees. They study hard together. Rena suggests a reward system to stay motivated. They shout encouragement like at an idol concert. Yachiyo and Momoko help with difficult problems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Rena, Kaede, and Momoko finally play at the beach. Mitama, Kanagi, and Mifuyu visit. Mitama has brought homemade rice balls as a reward. To decide who gets them, they hold a fishing contest. Rena and Kaede catch a pufferfish but come in second place. Kanagi wins first place and gets stuck with Mitama&#039;s cooking. Mifuyu is affected first. Rena and Kaede eat the remaining Mitama musubi and feel sick. They rest for the rest of the afternoon. Yachiyo goes shopping alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Rena and Kaede notice Yachiyo acting strange. They follow her and find her with fireworks. Yachiyo admits she bought them for everyone but felt too shy to ask. Rena and Kaede insist on setting them off together. They gather everyone. The group enjoys fireworks on the beach. Rena and Kaede stay up late playing with the leftovers. Momoko reflects on how much they have changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They browse swimsuits, but Mitama insists on choosing thoughtfully rather than buying on a whim. They separate briefly, and Mitama runs into Mikage, deflecting questions about what she’s doing. Momoko later admits she also had to make excuses after running into Rena and Kaede. Instead of buying swimsuits, Mitama brings Momoko back for an adjustment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On contest day, Mitama and Momoko play on the beach. They learn the contest requires performing a shared beach memory with chemistry.

While playing, they fight a Witch together—the first time Mitama has teamed up with someone—then run straight into Rena, Kaede, and Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They win by performing the events of the day instead of their planned story. Rena claims the stuffed bunny, and Mikage gets the Candy World tickets, immediately inviting Mitama. Apologies are exchanged, and the others ask for no more secrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The girl realizes it was an accident and offers to help clear Mitama’s name, but Mitama declines, saying she no longer needs it because she has someone who believes in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The group spends the day swimming, building a sandcastle, and splitting into smaller activities. While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond.

===Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story and Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
It has two versions I made, assimilate them if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomuradsSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At registration, Mitama announces all participants must wear swimwear, offering to transform their outfits for free. Homura is surprisingly excited, and Sayaka gets roped into wearing a ridiculous mushroom‑mermaid costume designed by Kanoko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka in her costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The non‑waterproof suit causes Sayaka to be electrocuted by its built‑in fan, but her Doppel activates and saves her. The Doppel drags Yachiyo into the water, and Yachiyo begins water‑skiing using her fishing rod while being pulled around.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura manages to fish up the Doppel and wins the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other&#039;s backs.

** Later that day, Homura confronts her Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying summer and relying on Madoka’s kindness. The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurads&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura visit a seaside villa on the outskirts of Kamihama. They meet Felicia and her friends briefly. After parting ways, they decide to visit an aquarium. They participate in an accessory-making workshop using star sand. Inside the aquarium, they meet Ashley, an exchange student from the United States, and Riko. Ashley recognizes them as Magical Girls from Mitakihara because she encountered their copies in Endless Mirrors. They chat and learn Ashley is making videos about kawaii things in Japan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Waverider)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After parting ways with Ashley and Riko, Sayaka wants to visit a CD store. She hopes to find rare CDs for Kyosuke. At the store, she reaches for the same CD as a woman. They discover they both use notepads to track CDs. The woman is Takamine&#039;s wife—Takamine was a violinist who passed away. She collects his recordings to show her daughter. They exchange contact information. Sayaka mentions the upcoming flea market.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Sayaka and Kyoko transform into swimsuits and ride a surfboard to retrieve it, using Nagisa&#039;s floaty as a distraction. The hat is recovered. Takamine&#039;s wife realizes she lost her notepad. Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while waiting, Nagisa and Riko play with water guns. Sayaka&#039;s group relaxes on the beach. Madoka and Homura find Sayaka&#039;s copy in Mirrors.

** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring. They plan for future fights: Sayaka will handle Familiars, Madoka and Homura will immobilize the Witch, and Mami will finish it off. Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the team encounters a paramedic and a girl under a Witch&#039;s influence. They enter the Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. The paramedic wakes up and thanks them and the team slips away quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of school after summer vacation, Mami calls Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura to the roof. Kyoko and Nagisa fought a powerful Witch and retreated.

Mami will finish it off with her new firework attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They rescue the captured people. A paramedic from earlier recognizes them and offers to take care of the victims. The team rushes to school but is late.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko invites Homura, Mami, Sayaka, and Madoka to the beach using tickets Mitama gave her after another accidental transformation into her magical swimsuit. The group swims, then Kyoko dominates the buffet. They discover a cliff diving spot, where Sayaka, Mami, and Kyoko take turns jumping while Madoka and Homura watch. They agree to return the day after next, since Madoka is busy the following day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kyoko asks Mitama to let her keep the swimsuit form for the summer, then heads to the beach alone.

Ui improves, but a rip current nearly sweeps her away; Kyoko rescues her. Moved by Ui’s determination, Kyoko keeps training her until sunset, and Ui finally masters swimming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully. Later, Kyoko visits Mitama to revert her outfit, explaining she wants to learn swimming properly rather than relying on magic. She trades a Grief Seed for money to buy ramune as payment for a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Eternal Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Momoko Togame (Sanctified)#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;

She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;

===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at the Wings of Magius, Alina asks Nemu to create a rumor for her. She will let it grow, then take it into herself and use it to achieve her greatest goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Touka and Nemu separately sneak to Ui’s room to leave apology notes. They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They first visit Mitama’s shop, where they meet Maria and Konomi. Mikage hands out sweets, crediting Lavi’s teaching, and Mitama permits them to visit the Mikazuki girls after receiving a cake. At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the real world, Tsuruno gives gelato to Ui and Felicia. Ui is absorbed in playing a game called &amp;quot;Little Vacation&amp;quot; on Tsuruno&#039;s phone. The game follows Tsuruno and Felicia as Reindeer Santas traveling to reach the End of the World and the Wishing Star.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia (Special Delivery)#Side Story|Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno uses the Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a hint: &amp;quot;The key is something you don&#039;t know the importance of until it&#039;s gone. This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The girls encourage Tsuruno and Felicia to leave since they were not originally trapped. Tsuruno and Felicia walk out easily. They promise to return once they find a way to free everyone. They leave, having failed to deliver smiles for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Town of Miraculous ☆ Prestidigitations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the next town. They meet Mitama, a magician performing tricks, and twins Rion and Hotori. Mitama attempts to teleport Hotori but accidentally duplicates her. There are now two Hotoris. Tsuruno and Felicia try to help. The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win. The duplicates are left behind. The single Tsuruno who lost is left alone without Reindeer-san #2 or the Okamochi Box. She decides to continue traveling anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; The three Tsurunos reunite and discuss the hints from the Okamochi Box. They realize &amp;quot;three heads are better than one&amp;quot; refers to them working together to solve the Maze Town puzzle. They also realize the key in Maze Town was a &amp;quot;smile&amp;quot;—something Ren had lost along the way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game. Game Tsuruno is surprised, saying the actual people probably do not play the game anymore.

===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents. Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia return home and ask to hear the full story, so Yachiyo retrieves the scarf from the time capsule where she had hidden it years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Check on the days again to make sure how many days pass. It&#039;s possible it&#039;s all just one day&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami finds herself in a strange white fog, speaking with two other versions of herself. Holy Mami claims she has learned the truth about magical girls from Alina Gray and Touka Satomi and has found a way to save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami has tea with Touka and Alina at a house rented for her by Touka. Mami explains she has not returned to Mitakihara because her priority is releasing magical girls. Touka and Alina offer to lecture her on what she needs to study. Alina grows disturbingly excited discussing van Gogh&#039;s Sunflowers, and Touka lectures at length on mathematics until Alina interrupts. Mami reassures them she will ask for help when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina receives a call from the Amane sisters requesting help with a Witch. Touka asks Mami to assist, explaining she has a lecture to give at noon to recruit skilled magical girls. Mami agrees, reflecting that releasing magical girls requires Grief Seeds, protecting Rumors, and raising Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane waiting for her. They explain the Witch has moved and the Black Feathers are monitoring it. A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren plan for their friends’ Christmas party a week away and promise to spend Christmas Eve together. While looking at options in a magazine, they cannot decide on a place. Ren buys the magazine to think it over, privately hoping to choose somewhere that will make Rika happy, though she doubts whether she truly belongs beside her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ren visits Emiri’s consultation room but finds only Akira and Ria Ami. She explains her dilemma, and Ria takes her around town to evaluate possible locations. They rule out a restaurant, an amusement park, and a romantic cafe, eventually settling on the Minagi Aquarium. Ria is surprised to learn Ren is planning an outing with Rika, not a boyfriend, but Ren leaves feeling confident in her choice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Christmas Eve, Rika attends a party with her school friends. When she mentions she will spend Christmas Eve at the aquarium with a friend, her friends press to join, but Rika refuses. She advises them not to look for boyfriends just to avoid being alone. Later, while walking with her friends, Rika spots Ren chasing after Aimi Eri. She follows and finds Ren comforting Aimi over a misunderstanding involving a boy; the situation resolves without trouble.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Ren waits for Rika, who messages that she overslept with a fever. Ren worries Rika became sick chasing after her the day before. Before she can reply, Aimi finds her, and they go shopping together. Aimi encourages Ren to visit Rika instead of staying apart. Ren goes to Rika’s house, knocks on her window, and insists they spend Christmas together there so Rika can rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They exchange gifts: Ren gives Rika scented candles, having noticed Rika’s interest from a sticky note, and Rika gives Ren a glass candlestick. Rika hopes they can visit the aquarium another time, and Ren leaves happy to have shared Christmas with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, assimilate them if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumor Tsuruno begins designing the park, adding a merry-go-round, roller coaster, spa, shops, and a cafe. The mascots warn that once the park is complete, she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world. Rumor Tsuruno claims no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she imagines comfort foods with hot pot as the main star, she is reminded of Mikazuki Villa. She brushes it off and completes the park. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Uwasa Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana looks at a Mr. Purrs-a-lot picture book and feels down. Ui notices and asks what is wrong. Sana admits she wants to become a picture book author to help people who are suffering like she once was. She has many ideas but does not know how to write them. Ui encourages her.

Sana writes the first part of the story: Aoi leaves the &amp;quot;Land of Beginnings&amp;quot; and arrives at the &amp;quot;Land of Blessings,&amp;quot; where residents constantly fight. Aoi suggests a picnic to help them understand each other. The residents grow closer. Ui enjoys the story. Sana reveals she wants to leave behind proof of Ai&#039;s existence before she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana asks Nemu for permission to use a character modelled after Ai in her picture book. Nemu agrees, saying she is happy Sana wishes to preserve Ai. Nemu advises Sana on how to become a published author: enter contests or approach publishers directly. Sana becomes discouraged when she realizes she would have to interact with people who cannot see her. She leaves feeling hopeless.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana wanders alone, feeling invisible. She helps a girl find a lost ring but is not noticed. She thinks her dream is impossible. Tsuruno, Felicia, and Ui find her, worried because she was not answering calls. Iroha and Yachiyo also arrive. Nemu calls and suggests Sana could use an agent to communicate with publishers, avoiding direct meetings. Sana regains her resolve. Yachiyo tells her not to give up on her dream. Iroha and the others promise to support her. Sana realizes she has a family to help her get back up.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana finishes her first picture book, &amp;quot;A Small Encounter.&amp;quot; The story follows Shana, an invisible girl who is found by Aoi and makes her first friend.

===Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 1 (Flashback/Reflection)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi wakes from a nap and remembers the dream she had when fused with the Kimochi. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words that helped her realize she had not truly given up. Iroha told her that those who have given up do not fight, and that Lavi came to Kamihama because she still wanted to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro (Kimochi)#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects on the hope she once held—a daydream of a peaceful life where magical girls are understood. In that dream, she helped her mother, tended fields with her grandfather, watched Urara&#039;s street performances, and attended exhibitions with Shirogane. She encountered other magical girls: Asahi, Haitani, Kuroda, Urara, and Alexandra. They fought witches together and enjoyed everyday moments. Lavi realized she had locked away this hope because remembering it was painful. But now, through her connection with Iroha and her time with Nayuta, she has begun to see the future again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Due to a scheduling mistake, everyone arrives at the same inn on the same day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** There is not enough premium beef for dinner. The groups compete in hot spring table tennis, karaoke, and pillow fights to decide who gets the meat. Yuna cheats in table tennis and is disqualified. The karaoke machine is outdated. The pillow fight becomes chaotic. Asahi saves the day with gibier meat. Everyone shares the meal and enjoys the evening together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects that this bustling, noisy future is unlike her usual self, but she realizes she has been yearning for it deep down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 3 (Reality/Current Time)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi teaches Nayuta cooking. They discuss their futures: Nayuta wants to study magical girls at a university different from her father&#039;s. Lavi wants to help at her family&#039;s inn while spreading magical girl activities. They plan a trip with Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Upon arriving at Cradle of the Earth in Yukuni, they encounter Mikazuki Villa, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and the Tokime Clan—just as in Lavi&#039;s dream. There is again not enough meat for dinner.

She announces they will compete over the meat and create a new future with all of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day, Yachiyo wakes at Mikazuki Villa and briefly senses Iroha&#039;s magical signature before it disappears. She sends Felicia and Sana off to school, then meets Momoko, Rena, and Kaede for lunch. Rena confesses she screamed in class, unable to contain her frustration that everyone has forgotten Iroha.

Yachiyo receives a call from Tsuruno: Felicia has run away. That evening, Felicia calls, planning to leave Kamihama to escape her guilt. Yachiyo tracks her location and rushes to the station with Tsuruno. Tsuruno finds Felicia, who confesses she cannot forget Iroha. Tsuruno shares Yachiyo&#039;s message: they should say &amp;quot;thank you&amp;quot; rather than &amp;quot;I&#039;m sorry.&amp;quot; Felicia agrees and returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When the others refuse to help, she attempts to go alone. Felicia uses her oblivion magic on Yachiyo and she forgets the plan entirely. Yachiyo continues preparing lunch as if nothing happened. They travel to the Rumor for the picnic. Along the way, Yachiyo asks the others to stop her if she ever loses control and tries something insane, admitting she can act on impulse when she loses composure. She also tells them they are all irreplaceable to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune. The Rumor says that if you receive the book and find a drawing of yourself, the sketched event will happen and if you try to stop it, a creature named Ketch drags you into the book. Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Two Hands in Harmony|Two Hands in Harmony]]&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. It may already be done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane complain about being overworked as guardians of a Rumor and fear the anger of Touka, Alina, and Nemu. They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The cat, Doyle, is especially attached to her lately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery|The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day|Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Rumored Temp Counselor===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call|Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;

===A Taste of Hospitality===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - A Taste of Hospitality|A Taste of Hospitality]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko and Ashley help Mitama film a video about her Coordinator services, whre she explains that she adjusts Soul Gems to draw out hidden potential, that she sees memories during adjustments but keeps them confidential, and that she also sells items for Magical Girls. As payment for the video, Riko gives Mitama an origami dog (Mameji) and Ashley gives her blue candy from her home, both of which Mitama puts in a box.&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, Mitama receives many gifts from Magical Girls, including Kokoro, Reira, Mito, Felicia, Ayame, Kako, Yachiyo, Karin, Himika, Rika and Emiri, the last of whom says that when people share their favorite things, it means they want to share what they love with Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama hums happily, which Momoko and Kanagi notice and feel a bad omen. Mitama announces that she wants to share what she loves with everyone and that she plans a party with food that she will cook. She asks Momoko and Kanagi to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;

===Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin|Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One winter’s day before Christmas, Rika and Ren go shopping together. The town has no Christmas decorations and people seem depressed. They hear a distressed voice and find Mitama, wearing a Santa&#039;s beard and hat, and she introduces herself as a Christmas Spirit. Mitama says her job is to make everyone happy, but the task is too big. She gives Rika and Ren some of her magic, explaining that the magic requires them to be perfectly attuned to each other, and then she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, a swallow Familiar appears, claiming to be Mitama’s pupil and Rika names him Chirpie. Chirpie explains that Mitama saved him when he fell from his nest and gave him magic. He can sense cowardly hearts lacking courage and Rika and Ren must drive out ten cowardly hearts to make the town happy. Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chirpie leads them to Felicia and Sana, who had accidentally smashed a cake and are now arguing about who should apologize to Yachiyo. Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 13th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mitama is away from her shop, but Tsuruno is there, using the kitchen to make chocolate bonbons with a friend. She plans to surprise everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 14th:&#039;&#039;&#039; On Valentine&#039;s Day, Tsuruno gives beautifully wrapped chocolates to Iroha, Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana and Ui at Mikazuki Villa. Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;

* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;

** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

* Hinano and Emiri attend a chemistry event. Hinano is excited to see a chemist who reminds her of the woman she idolized as a child—a tall, long-legged lady who taught fun chemistry experiments. Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo calls back and confirms they will come.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group arrives at the hotel and Yachiyo&#039;s relative, an older woman, greets them warmly. She says she used to hang out with Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river.

Tsuruno volunteers the group to help until the staff arrives. Yachiyo worries they might cause trouble, but Iroha, Ui, and Sana want to try. They agree to help. Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the next day, the group arrives at the pool for opening day. Yachiyo handles reception. The ticket scanner malfunctions and a line forms. Mitama appears—she had plans with Iroha that were canceled. She offers to help and fixes the scanner by hitting it. The staff member returns and takes over.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama notices Yachiyo has something on her mind and suggests she talk to someone she trusts. Iroha later asks Yachiyo to help with a crowded lunch area. Ui is taking orders with Sana&#039;s invisible help making drinks.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral. Yachiyo admits she was worried about everyone but sees they are doing fine. Iroha tells Yachiyo it is okay to worry because she cares, and they can solve problems together. Iroha notices Yachiyo has been down and offers to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
** A foam machine malfunctions, spewing foam everywhere. A guest slips and falls. The group splits up to clean the foam and help guests. Mitama fixes the machine with a whack. The support staff arrives. The girls finally have time to enjoy the pool.&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models. She does not know what to post and is shy about taking selfies. Iroha suggests posting photos of herself and takes pictures of Yachiyo on a float with the sunset. Yachiyo is embarrassed but agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Tsuruno want a turn on the float. Everyone climbs on, and Mitama takes a group photo just as they all fall into the water. Iroha loves the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the pool photos are popular online. Yachiyo&#039;s manager says going to the pool was a good move. Yachiyo thanks Iroha and says she might take her up on being her photographer again. She sends the group photo to everyone. Iroha says the photo may not be &amp;quot;social media-worthy&amp;quot; but it captures who they are. They agree to go back to the pool again—summer is just getting started.&lt;br /&gt;

Her team questions her decision, but she says they will see soon enough.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hazuki&#039;s team confronts Nanaka. They were forced to defeat the Boss Witch because of the &amp;quot;duty&amp;quot; clause. Hazuki says Nanaka played them. Nanaka admits she knew they could do it. Hazuki says they have scores to settle. Hazuki also mentions the Witch was strange, like it was being manipulated.

* Kako is 13 years old. Her parents run Natsume Books, a used bookstore. Books are a huge part of her life. One day, she sees Nanaka loitering by the mailbox, looking distressed. Nanaka drops a letter in the mailbox and runs off. She tells Kako to read the letter. Kako remembers the words &amp;quot;Kill her&amp;quot; and wonders why.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako recalls her past. Her family was not wealthy, but they were happy. Her father recommended books, and her mother helped her study. Then tragedy struck. A riot over land grabs broke out. Harassment of those who objected got worse. Discord grew within the community and even within their home. Her father was wound tight. Then their house was set on fire. Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
** She met a girl named &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; N told Kako who was responsible and what she needed to do to destroy them. Kako clung to her. She later learned N was manipulative and saw others as pawns. Kako hates N and wants revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found herself in a Labyrinth. Nanaka fought off Familiars but was overwhelmed. Kyubey offered Kako the chance to become a Magical Girl. Nanaka told Kako through telepathy to decide for herself what she wanted. Kako realized she hated feeling helpless. She wished to see her family smiling again and to get Natsume Books back. She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kako learned Nanaka faked her struggle to entrap her into making the wish. Nanaka had pulled this trick on others to use them as pawns. Kako could not forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako and Nanaka fought Witches together. Nanaka encouraged Kako and told her she was better suited to being a Magical Girl than Nanaka was. Kako wanted to get stronger. Nanaka wrote a letter confessing her deception and asking Kako to kill her. Kako made up her mind to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka. She returned it unopened, saying it seemed wrong to read something Nanaka only sent by accident. Nanaka smiled and said Kako was dazzling. She said she would try to tell Kako her feelings in person someday.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako thinks Nanaka overestimates her, but she is no longer as scared and helpless as she used to be. She is a Magical Girl who protects the city by Nanaka&#039;s side.&lt;br /&gt;

===Kokoro Awane&#039;s Heartphial Story: A World Where I Never Was===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro Awane reflects on her life. Before, she hated herself so many times for making her wish, kicking herself for it. She thought that since it was her fault, she had to do something about it. But now, all she wants is to do the best she can as a family of three with all her heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro goes hiking with Masara. They sing a cookie song but disagree on the lyrics—Masara says it is &amp;quot;knead,&amp;quot; while Kokoro remembers &amp;quot;mix.&amp;quot; Kokoro mentions a rumor about parallel universes and false memories. At the summit, Kokoro reminisces about hiking with her parents when she was little. She reveals that after her mother left, her family fell apart. Her father struggled as a single parent. Kokoro wished to Kyubey for her mother to come home. Her mother returned, but her parents&#039; relationship did not improve. Kokoro felt she had to work harder to fix things.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Kokoro remembers meeting Masara. Masara bluntly told her that it was not her fault, and those words finally got through. Kokoro stopped trying to fix everything alone and started getting her whole family to work together.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present Day) After the hike, Kokoro hears a voice talking about the Rumor of Parallel Memories. She finds a CD of the cookie song in a bargain bin. The lyrics on the back say &amp;quot;mix,&amp;quot; not &amp;quot;knead.&amp;quot; She wonders if it is an item from a parallel universe. She feels dizzy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro finds herself in a parallel world. Her house is now a café. Her parents run it together and are happily married. They do not recognize her. Kokoro sees they are close and in love, just like when she was little. She hears about attractions and brands she has never heard of. Her mother sings the cookie song with &amp;quot;mix.&amp;quot; Kokoro realizes she was never born in this world. She feels painful but also jealous of their happiness. She thinks her parents might have been better off without her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro wishes to go home. She feels dizzy again. She hears her parents calling her name. She wakes up to find she had collapsed. Her parents found her and called an ambulance. She is taken to the hospital. She wonders if the parallel world was real or just a dream.&lt;br /&gt;

Her mother sings a version of the cookie song with different lyrics—&amp;quot;stir, stir, stir them well, that taste of happiness.&amp;quot; Kokoro asks her mother to sing the old part. Her mother says she just did. Kokoro changes her mind and says she does not want to hear it anymore. She prefers these cookies, the ones the three of them made together.&lt;br /&gt;

===Himika Mao&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Lucky Break Lost &amp;amp; Found===&lt;br /&gt;
* Himika Mao reflects on her life. Her family is far from rich, so when her dad got sick and collapsed, her whole world went dark. But it was her family&#039;s smiling faces that kept her going through it all. That is why she will continue to fight to protect them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Himika goes shopping for bargains and wins a grand prize from a drawing: a 2-night stay at a luxury hotel with a pool on a tropical island, complete with meals. She is thrilled to take her whole family. She hides the ticket in a Baby Bunny pouch for safekeeping.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Himika&#039;s father worked day and night to support their family of eight. He collapsed from overwork. He survived but could not work like before. The family was running out of money. Her siblings fought and cried. Her father suggested they all live in different facilities. Himika made a wish to Kyubey to cure her father. She became a Magical Girl. Her father recovered, and her family returned to a normal, peaceful life.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present Day) Himika&#039;s friends Kako and Ayame visit. Himika cannot find the ticket.

She calls the shipping company, but the boxes have already been handed to a subcontractor.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama suggests having Himika&#039;s father call the subcontractor to track down the pouch. Himika&#039;s father does so. The company says they will search for it.&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Rena calls Himika. She saw the Baby Bunny pouch in a crane game at an arcade. Himika, Kako, Ayame, Rena, and Kaede go to the arcade. The pouch is in the replenishment case, meaning Himika must win all the Mocha Bunnies already out to reach it. Himika decides to use a strategy but is short on money.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika observes other players to learn techniques, calling it &amp;quot;crane training.&amp;quot; She strategizes to create an avalanche by knocking down piles of plushies. She successfully clears most of the machine. The staff restocks the machine, placing the pouch inside surrounded by four giant Mocha Bunnies.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika aims to move two bunnies out of the way to reach the pouch. She successfully clears the pandas and one bunny. She realizes there are two Baby Bunny pouches, not one. She cannot tell which is hers. She has only three tries left. She misses on two tries. On her final try, she aims for both pouches at once and succeeds. The crowd applauds.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Himika&#039;s family goes on the tropical vacation. She explains that when she asked Kyubey to cure her dad, what she really wanted was for her family to be back together. She later learns from a staff member that if she had explained the situation at first, they would have just given her the pouch back. All&#039;s well that ends well.&lt;br /&gt;

Kyubey appeared and granted her wish to live. She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;

Rika said that as long as you have one shining thing in the world, you can keep going.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (present) Ren and Rika go shopping. Ren finds an earring someone dropped and returns it. The owner is grateful. Ren feels happy and buys a colored pencil. She thinks about adding color to her bear story. She decides to use the Cherry Pink pencil because Rika loves pink. She writes about a Spirit of Light that appears before the bear cub and shows her that the world is not actually gray—it is full of colors.&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri shows Ren a kaleidoscope. Hinano invites her to make one. Akira helps her carry a package. Konomi gives her flowers. Kanoko shows her a mushroom-themed clothing design.

* Rika messages Ren, apologizing and saying she was planning a surprise birthday party. Ren does not reply. She hides in a dark room at school. Rika finds her and calls her instead of opening the door. Rika explains she wanted to surprise Ren. She gives Ren a set of 12 colored pencils with a carved lily of the valley on the case. Ren cries and thanks her. The bear cub looks up and sees the Spirit of Light smiling at her. Her world is once again filled with light.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren buys another colored pencil. She notices the name is &amp;quot;Blue Sky&amp;quot; instead of &amp;quot;Sky Blue.&amp;quot; She hears a voice talking about the Rumor of Parallel Memories. She feels dizzy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren dreams she is dead. She cannot see or touch her parents. They mourn her suicide. She never became a Magical Girl and never met Rika. She watches her friends go to the teddy bear exhibition without her. She is invisible. She feels awful and wants to go back to the land of the living. She remembers the colored pencil with the different name—that must be the proof of another world. She holds it and wishes to live. She wakes up. It was all a dream. Rika messages her to join everyone for snacks. Ren goes to meet them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren finishes her bear story. The gatekeeper asks the bear cub if she has any regrets. The bear cub says yes. She wishes to leave behind her journal, filled with entries about the Spirit of Light and all the sparkles she showed her. The gatekeeper opens the gates. The bear cub does not say goodbye because she knows she will see the Spirit of Light again someday in the World of Light. Ren realizes the bear cub is reborn, just like she was when she met Rika and her friends. She can live in a world full of color.&lt;br /&gt;

They became sisters bound by a bond stronger than blood. The director treated them like family.&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before becoming Magical Girls) Azalea House was to be torn down due to unknown powerful forces. The stress of it claimed the director&#039;s life. Kyubey appeared and offered contracts.

&lt;br /&gt;
* A teacher asks Hazuki to deliver worksheets to Nanaka. Hazuki is reluctant because Konoha distrusts Nanaka after an incident where Nanaka&#039;s team tricked them into fighting a powerful Witch.

* During the storm, the rope bridge collapses due to the rain. Hazuki and Nanaka cannot cross the river. They find an old shack for shelter. They huddle together for warmth. Hazuki shares her past: her parents died in an accident when she was young. She was shuffled between relatives until she ended up at Azalea House. She learned to hide her fear behind a smile. The director taught her to smile when her heart truly felt it. She met Konoha and Ayame there. They became family. They made wishes to protect Azalea House and left to live together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka listens quietly. She says she finally understands Hazuki&#039;s true self. Nanaka grows pale and cold. Hazuki worries she might collapse. Hazuki insists they huddle closer. Nanaka admits she is cold. They wait together.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

* Masara meets Kokoro Awane in a Labyrinth. Kokoro is uncomfortable with Masara&#039;s reckless fighting and tells her to protect herself more. Masara says she does not care if she dies. Kokoro says her family would care. Masara questions why Kokoro blames herself for her family&#039;s problems. Kokoro asks if they can stick together. Masara agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a Witch hunt, they&#039;re attacked by a Witch and Masara takes a hit to protect Kokoro. She gets a scar. She starts avoiding Kokoro because she does not understand her feelings. Mitama explains that Masara fears seeing Kokoro get hurt, so she avoids her to prevent that pain. Masara realizes she fears losing Kokoro, so they reconcile.&lt;br /&gt;
* The swim club announces the relay team. Masara is chosen but declines, saying she is not good at team sports. Koshino, who has always been second to Masara, is chosen as her replacement. Koshino vows to beat Masara&#039;s record.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback, but the entirety seems like mostly a flashback) Kyubey offers Rika any wish in exchange for becoming a Magical Girl. Hinano warns her not to do it, but Rika ignores the advice. She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Miss K cries to Riko that her father opposes her marriage because he does not want her to move far away. Riko wishes to Kyubey for Miss K&#039;s marriage to be accepted. She becomes a Magical Girl. Miss K gets married and moves away. Riko misses her but does not regret her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Riko goes filming with Ashley. She tells Ashley about Miss K. She explains that Miss K&#039;s father never fully accepted the marriage, and they have not made up. Riko receives a message from Miss K saying she was in the hospital because she was pregnant. She invites Riko to visit her new house. Riko goes and meets the baby. Miss K asks Riko to be friends with her child. Riko becomes like a big sister to the baby. She feels happy that her wish came true but is sad Miss K and her father never reconciled.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko walks Mameji and sees Miss K&#039;s father standing outside the hardware store, looking sad. She wonders what is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley advises Riko to ask Miss K directly if she wants to make up with her father. Riko texts Miss K and asks to meet. Miss K replies that she will come to Riko&#039;s town instead. Riko is excited.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Miss K visits Riko. They talk about her father. Miss K says she wants to make up with him but does not know how. Riko suggests inviting him to meet the baby, giving him a present, or going on a family trip. Miss K doubts any of it will work. They walk to Riko&#039;s store together. They encounter Miss K&#039;s father outside. Riko admits she asked Miss K to come so they could patch things up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Miss K&#039;s father reveals he brought a herbarium to Riko&#039;s store. It was originally meant as a gift for his grandchild, but he could not bring himself to deliver it. Riko realizes Mameji had been guiding her this whole time. Earlier, Mameji had barked at the cake that turned out to be from Miss K&#039;s father. Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky. She realizes she is dying, having protected Yachiyo. She remembers how everyone was fighting for dear life. She wished she were stronger to help them. She is sorry for not being stronger. She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ashley Taylor&#039;s Heartphial Story: Can&#039;t Be Myself Without What I Love===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley Taylor reflects on her life. Studying in Japan is awesome fun. She wants to find more kawaii for her vlog viewers back home and asks her father to watch over her while she pursues her passions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley vlogs with Riko&#039;s help. She films herself shopping for Magical Kirin merch and gurokawa items. After editing and uploading the video, she replies to comments from her followers. She thinks about her father and hopes he is watching.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley remembers the day she wanted to study abroad in Japan. Her father refused without giving a clear reason, which was unusual. Kyubey appeared and offered to grant any wish. Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko notices Ashley seems down. She worries Ashley is overworking herself by vlogging daily and replying to comments late at night. Ashley says it does not feel like work because she loves it. She thanks Riko for being a kind friend. They go out to film another vlog.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley continues vlogging daily. She worries about skipping a day because her followers might unfollow her. She wakes up to find Kumanosuke missing. She panics, feeling like her world is ending. Riko arrives with a bento and finds Ashley crying. Ashley explains she lost Kumanosuke. Riko comforts her and says it is okay to skip a vlog. Ashley admits she has been using followers&#039; comments to fill the hole left by her father&#039;s death. Riko says she understands loss—she misses her sister who moved far away. They decide to search for Kumanosuke.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko suggests Ashley ask her followers for help finding Kumanosuke. During a live stream, a commenter suggests rewatching her previous vlog. Ashley realizes she left Kumanosuke on a chair when she got distracted by a crane machine. They find Kumanosuke on a shelf at the store, dressed in Waloli Gurokawa clothes. Ashley gets him back. She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

* At Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo finds an old photo album while cleaning. She shows it to Iroha, Tsuruno, Sana, Felicia, and Ui. The photos are from seven years ago, when Mikazuki Villa was a boarding house. Iroha notices a girl standing next to Yachiyo and her grandmother—it is Mifuyu with long hair. Yachiyo explains she knew Mifuyu back then and they fought Witches together. Tsuruno is shocked and Yachiyo says they did not leave a good first impression on each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seven Years Ago&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo fights her first Witch. She is scared but determined. Inside the barrier, she finds another Magical Girl crying. The girl is too frightened to fight. Yachiyo tries to cooperate, but the girl runs away. Yachiyo defeats the Witch alone. Afterward, she confronts the crying girl and tells her that if she cannot fight, she should quit. The girl begs Yachiyo not to leave her alone. Yachiyo is harsh but later realizes she is also scared. Both girls cry alone, afraid of being Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo is the leader of her model unit. The other members are starting to trust her. One member, Yellow, still does not approve of Yachiyo as leader. Yachiyo continues working hard. After her lesson, she defeats a Familiar. She encounters Mifuyu again. Mifuyu says she felt the Familiar&#039;s presence but was too scared to enter the barrier. Yachiyo is harsh again, but Mifuyu says she wants to talk properly. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives and invites Mifuyu to a candy store. Mifuyu has never been to one before. She is amazed by the syrup. The grandmother invites her to visit Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s unit has a successful photoshoot. She feels happy. Later, she senses a powerful Witch and enters the barrier. Two other Magical Girls are already fighting it. Yachiyo asks to join them, but they attack her. They say the Witch is their prey and threaten her. Mifuyu appears and says they should cooperate. The other girls ignore her and lure the Witch toward Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Mifuyu protects Yachiyo and gets injured. They escape together and rest in a park. Yachiyo shares her grief seed with Mifuyu. They introduce themselves. Yachiyo learns Mifuyu comes from a strict family with nine lessons. Mifuyu became a Magical Girl to dream freely. They bond over their shared struggles. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to visit again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu visits Mikazuki Villa. She brings sweets. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother shows the album and the magazine featuring Yachiyo&#039;s unit. The older boarders ask Mifuyu for a cute nickname for Yachiyo. Mifuyu suggests &amp;quot;Yacchan.&amp;quot; Yachiyo likes it. That night, a Witch appears near the station. They fight together and save a boarder from Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo suggests they team up because they are both weak and will become stronger together. Mifuyu agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Yachiyo and Mifuyu continue patrolling. Mifuyu&#039;s parents increase her lessons because they suspect she is sneaking out to play. Yachiyo feels guilty. They decide to reduce patrols for the next week.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s manager tells her the unit will be disbanded at the end of the month. Yachiyo is devastated. Her wish to keep the unit alive was meaningless. She meets Mifuyu at the candy store. Mifuyu has been scolded and had her phone taken away. She says she cannot endure her life anymore. Yachiyo blames herself for dragging Mifuyu around. A Witch appears. They fight it, but two other Magical Girls show up and attack them. The Witch kills one of them. Yachiyo and Mifuyu fight the Witch together and defeat it. The surviving Magical Girl takes the grief seed and leaves. Yachiyo and Mifuyu are broken. They ask Kyubey to let them quit, but he refuses.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo finds a grief seed left behind by the surviving Magical Girl. She realizes she saved the girl&#039;s life. Mifuyu says that even though their wishes were meaningless, they are still alive and can protect what is important. Yachiyo recalls her grandmother&#039;s words about leaving feelings behind through letters. She decides she and Mifuyu should exchange letters to leave their feelings behind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day at Mikazuki Villa&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu continue looking through the photo album. Mifuyu says the letters were their hope and their weakness. She suggests they stop exchanging letters because they are now seniors who must be strong. Yachiyo refuses. She says the letters keep her tied to reality and give her hope. Mifuyu agrees to continue. They find an old letter Yachiyo wrote. Yachiyo says she will write this year&#039;s letter. Mifuyu promises to write one too. They vow to exchange letters forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls in Kush, who transforms into a vampire and she wins the contest. Natsuki takes second place and Karin takes third place. A commemorative photo is taken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin completes her manga, &amp;quot;The Pumpkin King and the Ghost Servant.&amp;quot; She shows it to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede who praise it, giving it 100 points or more. Kaede appreciates the happy ending. Karin is moved by Kaede&#039;s approval. Manaka arrives with pumpkin pie for a taste test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the Sakae Halloween Festa, Karin arrives at the festival in her Pumpkin King costume. Alina is also present, already dressed as the ghost servant from Karin&#039;s manga. Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head of the executive committee thanks Karin for recommending Alina as the face of the event. Karin reflects on her hope that Alina will one day atone for her sins and reach a happy ending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Sweet Beanie: /* Iroha&amp;#039;s Side Story */&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This article details the events and stories taking place in, during and between the chapters of Arc 1 of [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]]. The narrative is structured to show the convergence of two distinct flows of action:&lt;br /&gt;
# The first is the personal, undated journey of [[Iroha Tamaki]] within the anomalous Kamihama City, which is much longer than Homura Akemi&#039;s usual 32 day loop. Her story begins on its own internal timeline, where the sequence of events is more important than specific calendar dates.&lt;br /&gt;
# The second is the dated countdown to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival from the original series, which starts with Day 1, Tuesday the 16th and ends on Day 32, Friday the 16th. Only the latter half of Homura&#039;s timeline is able to be approximately dated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the arc progresses, these two timelines intersect, and due to this, the latter half of the story is much easier to date. It should be noted that the timeline of the Magia Record game is highly anomalous, and thus any attempts at dating it are an educated guess at best. Therefore, this chronology should be used primarily to understand the sequence of major events, rather than as a calendar. In lack of contradictory context clues, the release date, or order of release of the event were used for their placement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that many of the events of Magia Record were written with the focus being on having fun side stories involving the characters, and thus, a definitive placement in the timeline wasn&#039;t a priority for many of them. For example, there&#039;s inconsistencies such as references to the same characters entering Kamihama for the first time in different events, or even cases where an event&#039;s tone at the time it is supposedly taking place in would be nigh-illogical considering other circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, the definitive time frame for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival was only established in [[Scene 0]], itself written and released after the majority of Magia Record and entirely after Arc 1 was finished. Notably, the event of [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams|Cherry Blossom Dreams]], which takes place supposedly shortly after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, itself happens during February. For these reasons, it is impossible to definitively state the order of events, or to accurately measure them against that of the original series, as with the addition of these inaccuracies, it is possible that none of the time frames of the original universe are applicable here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, given all these inconsistencies, any specific dates or placements in the Magia Record timelines, especially Arc 1, should be taken with a grain of salt, unless they definitively continue into one another in a clear sequence (such as the Main Story and Another Story in isolation). The original series&#039; timeframes are used for organizational and cross-reference purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The timeline of this Universe continues with [[Timeline/Magia Record/Arc 2]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==First Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha Tamaki is going to Kamihama by train, she is caught in [[Boxwood|Boxwood&#039;s Barrier]]. [[Kuroe]] is also on the same train from Takarazaki to Kamihama, as she&#039;d heard the rumor that Magical Girls can be saved there, as well as had the same dream herself. The train is engulfed by the Labyrinth and Kuroe wants to help Iroha whom she&#039;s never met before. Kuroe leaps out of the train&#039;s window to help her, but she quickly falls out of the mobile Labyrinth straight into Kamihama City, chastising herself for being weak. Kuroe is greeted by [[Mifuyu Azusa]] who was trailing the signature of the Witch and Kuroe is quickly recruited into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Little Bird&#039;s Star|Little Bird&#039;s Star]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha herself arrives in Kamihama City, compelled by recurring dreams of an unknown girl in a hospital room. Believing this girl to be a key to a buried memory, Iroha begins searching the city&#039;s Witch Labyrinths for clues. During her search, she rescues another Magical Girl later identified as Kaede Akino from aggressive Familiars. The girl warns Iroha about the unusual strength of Kamihama&#039;s Witches and, upon learning Iroha is searching for a small Kyubey, mentions having seen it in a specific Labyrinth. Kaede notes that the small Kyubey has been the only Kyubey around recently.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 1: Iroha of the Beginning|Chapter 1: Iroha: The Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha locates the Labyrinth and finds the small Kyubey who is incapable of speech, though Iroha can somehow understand it anyway, but is soon overwhelmed by a horde of Familiars. During the struggle, she has a vivid vision of the hospital room from her dreams. She is saved by Momoko Togame, who explains that the Witches in Kamihama are too powerful for most Magical Girls to handle alone. Momoko takes Iroha to meet Mitama Yakumo, the &amp;quot;Coordinator,&amp;quot; who can perform a &amp;quot;Soul Gem Alignment&amp;quot; to enhance a Magical Girl&#039;s power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the alignment, Iroha has another, clearer vision of the hospital room and the girl, feeling a strong sense of affection and nostalgia. After the procedure, Mitama reveals that she can see into the pasts of those whose Soul Gems she touches and asks Iroha what her wish was. Iroha is horrified to realize she cannot remember her own wish or the identity of the girl in her dreams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Driven by this revelation, Iroha rushes out to continue her search, but is intercepted by the powerful Magical Girl Yachiyo Nanami. Yachiyo, believing Iroha is not strong enough to survive in Kamihama, challenges her to a duel to force her to leave the city. Though Yachiyo wins, Momoko intervenes, and a compromise is reached: Yachiyo will allow Iroha to stay if she and Momoko can defeat a specific Witch, the Sandbox Witch, before Yachiyo can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The small Kyubey reappears and leads Iroha and Momoko directly to the Sandbox Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Although Yachiyo defeats the Witch first, she gives Iroha a final chance to prove herself by defeating the Witch alone, which Iroha successfully does. Yachiyo admits she thought Iroha would be fine from the start. However, Yachiyo then reveals her true objective: she believes the small Kyubey is a dangerous irregularity and moves to eliminate it. Yachiyo explains she was trying to draw the small Kyubey out, as all the other Kyubeys in Kamihama have disappeared. Iroha throws herself in the way to protect it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the confrontation, as Iroha protects the small Kyubey, by touching it a flood of memories is unlocked. She remembers her little sister, Ui Tamaki, who was chronically ill and hospitalized. Iroha recalls her wish to Kyubey: &amp;quot;Please cure Ui! Make my precious little sister healthy!&amp;quot; She also realizes with horror that she had completely forgotten Ui&#039;s existence, living her life as if she never had a sister, with no memory of her until that moment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha awakens back at Mitama&#039;s office, having been carried there by Momoko after fainting. She explains her recovered memory to Momoko and Mitama. Despite their warnings that the memory could be false, Iroha declares that she must continue her investigation in Kamihama. Now her goal is not just to understand her dreams, but to find the cause of Ui&#039;s disappearance and uncover the truth behind her own forgotten wish. Momoko resolves to help Iroha, and Mitama agrees to help as well for a price. Mitama then asks Iroha to give the small Kyubey a name. Iroha asks Lil&#039; Kyubey if he will help her find Ui, and he agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Second Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, now at her home in Takarazaki City, understands the reason for the empty space in her room: it once belonged to her sister, Ui. She recalls memories of Ui and her two friends from the hospital, Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, even remembering specific details like how Nemu loved writing and published stories online, or how Touka was very smart. Iroha resolves to visit the hospital to find them, hopeful they will remember Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 2: The Rules of Friendship|Chapter 2: The Rules of Friendships]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0001 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* While Mitama is running her shop, she reads a detective novel called “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” A white tabby kitten from next door starts visiting her during this time and she names him Doyle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 1: The Many-Worlds Interpretation Poesy|The Case Files of the Coordinator 1: The Many-Worlds Interpretation Poesy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko comes for an adjustment and sits in the back to keep Mitama company. After a client leaves, Mitama feels strange and asks Momoko about the previous day after sunset. Momoko says they stayed in the shop watching over Iroha, but Mitama saw a memory during the adjustment: in that memory, she and Momoko patrolled an alley together and Mitama realizes the memory does not match reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha goes to the hospital with Lil&#039; Kyubey&#039;s help to use her cellphone but is unable to locate Touka and Nemu, as she does not have a visitor pass and is not family. She reflects on their personalities and their frequent arguments, which Ui often mediated. As Iroha recalls one of their fights where they declared they were &amp;quot;not friends anymore,&amp;quot; she is approached by Yachiyo. She warns Iroha about a dangerous Rumor in Kamihama called the &amp;quot;Rule of Ending Friendships.&amp;quot; She explains that if two friends fight and one later apologizes to make up, a monster will kidnap the one who apologized. Yachiyo states this is one of several Rumors in Kamihama that have become reality, leading to people disappearing and tells Iroha to be careful. Iroha later discusses this rumor with Mitama, who explains that Momoko is not likely to believe anything from Yachiyo, as they stopped getting along after Yachiyo became a model.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after this conversation, Iroha witnesses an argument between Momoko Togame&#039;s teammates, Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. Momoko asks Iroha to catch Rena, but Rena fights her off and even transforms into Iroha to surprise her. Momoko formally introduces Kaede and explains the fight is over sweets. She figures Rena will apologize later. The argument escalates, and both girls declare they are &amp;quot;not friends anymore&amp;quot; before Rena storms off. Momoko dismisses Iroha&#039;s concern about the Rumor, asserting that rumors are not true. Iroha notes that Momoko seems dismissive of the information specifically because it came from Yachiyo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami enters Kamihama City and saves Rena from a Stacey Witch. Rena reveals that Kamihama has the opposite problem to other cities: an overabundance of powerful Witches. Mami realizes Kamihama is an anomaly. While investigating, she encounters a powerful Familiar and a strange, non-Witch Barrier, solidifying her decision to investigate the city&#039;s mysteries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 2: Only this City is Different|Another Story Chapter 2: Only this City is Different]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Undated Period==&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama performs adjustments on more Magical Girls and sees more memories that should not exist. She pieces them together and finds a Kamihama slightly different from her own which she dubs the “Alternate Kamihama.” Over the next two days, several Magical Girls with memories of the other world come for adjustments and Mitama does not reveal whose memories she saw out of respect to her clients&#039; privacy, but she shares information with Momoko without naming names.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that in the Alternate Kamihama, Momoko and Mitama are a team of two, Yachiyo acts like Momoko’s big sister, Kaede is on Nanaka’s team and that Kako is missing. There is also a serious rivalry between Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team in the Sankyo Ward, as both teams had lost their youngest members, Kako and Ayame. Yachiyo is also in charge there but struggles to keep the order. Kako and Ayame are friends in this world, but Mitama has not seen either of them in the other world. Mitama almost reveals private information about Karin and an older student but stops herself. A small detail is that Mitama asks Momoko about an exclusive wallpaper of the Mocha Bunny, and Momoko sends her a link. Mitama notices the crucial detail that in the Alternate Kamihama, Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red, but in their world, it is blue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, a wounded Magical Girl is brought to Mitama’s shop and Mitama heals her with adjustments. This girl has more memories of the Alternate Kamihama than any previous client and the situation there is dire. Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team both blame each other for crossing a line first and the conflict spreads from Sankyo Ward to other wards. Three friends from the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira, Seika and Mito, had their Soul Gems taken and were locked in separate rooms and a voice from inside their Soul Gems asked for the words in their hearts. The three answered “Four-leaf clover” and got their gems back, but one girl fainted from fatigue. Mitama suspects someone mistook them for a threat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks about Iroha and Kyubey, worrying about Iroha in the other world. Mitama says no one has seen Iroha there and that the small Kyubey is also missing, but the normal Kyubey still exists in the Alternate Kamihama. Momoko has not seen Kyubey in their own world for months. Mitama refuses to share more due to confidentiality and calls herself an unreliable narrator, so Momoko agrees to stay as her investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about how the memories were gathered, and that a few days ago, a group of friends from Kamihama ended up in the Alternate Kamihama. They were together one second and scattered the next, and though they searched for each other and talked to many Magical Girls along the way, they noticed something was wrong. One of them said they cannot tell anyone how they got there and Mitama almost forgot to mention that Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red in the other world, yet Momoko is not impressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Doyle meows at Mitama and she thinks he wants her to apologize to Momoko and she also thinks about the one secret she cannot tell anyone: the Alternate Kamihama is a world without Witches. Then she finds a phone that a client left behind and she accidentally turns it on, seeing that the wallpaper shows Mocha Bunny with a red bow tie, making Mitama wonder if the phone came from the other world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama keeps the phone, as she cannot return it yet because schedules do not match. She learns about Rumors, or Uwasa in Kamihama: mysterious beings that make rumors come true. Momoko tells her about the Rumor of the Rule of Ending Friendships, which nearly trapped Kaede and Rena forever. Mitama reveals that in the Alternate Kamihama, Kaede and Rena are very close and never argue, but that Rena works alone there. Momoko is no longer surprised by anything Mitama says.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko advises Mitama to record all details about the Alternate Kamihama while they are fresh and Mitama starts writing “The Case Files of the Coordinator.” She notes the color of Mocha Bunny’s bow tie, team relationships, and the disappearances of Kako and Ayame. While writing, Nanaka walks in to return a borrowed book and overhears Mitama say that Kako disappeared, prompting Mitama to explain everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka asks many questions, joking about Mitama’s inability to keep secrets. Then she asks seriously why the Sankyo Ward is the source of conflict in the other world and she suspects there is more to the situation. She asks Mitama to tell her about the incident that sparked the conflict and after hearing her out, Nanaka says she will keep the information to herself for now. She advises Mitama to talk directly to the owner of the phone from the other world and that the girls who ended up there know how they got there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama meets the girl who left the phone and she does not hesitate to tell the truth because Mitama would see it in her memories anyway. The girl explains the Rumor of Parallel Memories. The rumor says that if you get an item of proof from a parallel world and pray to the central tower, you can travel to and from a parallel Kamihama. The world they visited was a dream projected by the Rumor and it shows a world that “could be.” The girl and her friends all had the same dream at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama tells Momoko the Alternate Kamihama was just a dream and Momoko is relieved. Mitama explains the Mandela effect phenomenon: many people misremember the same fact, leading to a theory that those are memories from a parallel world. The Rumor of Parallel Memories lets you enter a dream of such a world and a lot of girls fell victim to it, including Ren, Kokoro, and Karin, who also got a strange sketchbook and ended up in the world of her own manga, which was traumatic. The dream world is dangerous because one&#039;s are asleep the entire time, but to leave, they can simply wish to go back. The issue is that if someone does not know that, they could waste away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks what kind of world the girls went to and Mitama admits it was a world without Witches. Momoko is upset Mitama kept that secret and asks if all worlds without Witches are that violent, but Mitama says no, clarifying that the fighting in the Alternate Kamihama had nothing to do with Witches. Their own world has Witches and people still fight and that the Alternate Kamihama is just one possibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitama tells Nanaka the Rumor explanation, but Nanaka still wonders why there was so much fighting, and that not all worlds without Witches would be that hostile. She thinks someone is behind the conflict and she names Hanna Sarasa, who is dead in this world. Nanaka says the targets in the Alternate Kamihama were all connected to Hanna, and that the method matches Hanna’s style: using suggestion to bend wills, laying traps, spreading rumors, making people doubt everyone. The trap for the Daito Apartment Complex girls feels like someone who enjoys watching others suffer. While Mitama is convinced, she notes the Alternate Kamihama is not real and Nanaka also agrees it is a nightmare that never became reality because Hanna died. Then Nanaka mentions a recent incident: a certain book nearly destroyed her friendship with Kako. It felt deliberate, but thankfully Hanna is dead, though Mitama becomes unsettled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0002 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama asks herself why she is still looking into the case, recalling two girls with bad experiences. Felicia saw a nightmare in the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth and was despondent for days, but she does not remember anything. Reira also tapped a weird link in a Magical Girls’ group chat and she started having nightmares that made things awkward between her and her best friend Seika. Mitama notes that nightmares testing friendships cannot be a coincidence and that the girls who ended up in the Alternate Kamihama also got into trouble because of a phone. Mitama connects the dots and creates a vague profile: a mean-spirited person who likes to show nightmares and test hearts, using a phone, located in Endless Mirrors, the large Labyrinth inside the Mirror Witch’s Mansion and where all the magic of Kamihama gathers. Mitama decides to take a look and asks Reira about the group chat. The account that posted the link has been deleted, but the culprit might still watch with another account. Mitama posts a message asking if anyone has had bad experiences related to Endless Mirrors, hoping the culprit will see it. She then receives a video chat invitation from a caller ID: H. S.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna Sarasa appears on the video call and says she is not the Hanna Sarasa that Mitama knows. She is the Hanna from a parallel world and that she is glad Mitama finally figured things out. She has been playing hide-and-seek and running out of time. She is in Endless Mirrors and tells Mitama to come alone, claiming she can tell Mitama about the serious consequences of her wish, which Mitama kept secret. She wonders if her wish brought Hanna to this world and she closes her shop early to go to Endless Mirrors. Momoko notices something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside Endless Mirrors, Hanna watches Mitama through copies, using the power of suggestion to control people. Mitama asks if the Alternate Kamihama is where Hanna is from and she confirms. She claims the world Mitama assumed was just a dream actually exists and that the dream shown by the Rumor happens to be exactly like Hanna’s world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna explains there is a narrow tunnel connecting the two worlds and that the exit in Mitama’s world is inside Endless Mirrors. A Magical Girl with the power to connect spaces, possibly the alternate version of Shizuku, was forced by Hanna to use all her power to open the hole. Hanna wanted to find Mikoto Sena, who had disappeared in her world. The tunnel is too small for a person, only big enough for a phone, but Hanna used the copies and Familiars in Endless Mirrors to do her work. She had tossed a phone through the hole and waited for someone to pick it up, and the Rumor of Parallel Memories did the rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna admits she is not actually in Endless Mirrors, but in an abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama. The background image was fake and the tunnel will close in a few days. The Endless Mirrors Familiars built a magical projector that can exchange things of equal value between the two worlds, an if Mitama turns the handle, they will trade places: Mitama goes to the Alternate Kamihama, and Hanna comes to Mitama’s world. Hanna has been using her power of suggestion on Mitama and she makes her turn the handle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in the dark abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama and Hanna arrives in Mitama’s world. Hanna explains her full plan: she wanted to find Mikoto and she tested her methods on Nanaka and Kako, then on the Daito girls and Felicia. She left subtle hints to lure Mitama to Endless Mirrors and Mitama’s curiosity and guilt made her the perfect bait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, who had followed Mitama, telepathically messages her and Momoko catches Hanna off-guard. She turns the handle of the projector in reverse and Mitama returns to her own world while Hanna goes back to the Alternate Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The tunnel closes a few days later and Momoko does not remember much of the incident. Mitama does not either; her last memory is reaching for the handle and Momoko explains what happened. The projector is destroyed, and Hanna cannot return. Mitama warns everyone to stay away from Endless Mirrors for a few days and nothing else happens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects on how she almost became the kitten killed by curiosity. But it was guilt that trapped her instead. She decides will continue to act as a neutral Coordinator, hiding secrets behind confidentiality and she plays with Doyle using a new foxtail cat toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after the initial argument, Momoko notes that Rena Minami has not apologized to Kaede, which is unusual behavior. Kaede spends her time alone, and Momoko expresses worry for her. During this time, Iroha encounters a witch and rescues Kaede. Kaede admits she was running away from Momoko to avoid being forced to see Rena, and that she wants to apologize but doesn&#039;t think she can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several more days later, Momoko decides to intervene in the dispute. Iroha offers to help, and Momoko accepts, promising to aid Iroha in her search for Ui in return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko devises a plan to lure Rena and Kaede to the same location. The plan involves waiting for Rena at her student committee meeting. Iroha waits for a long time, but Momoko calls to say the meeting was cancelled and Rena went home early. Momoko tells Iroha to find Rena at the game center. Iroha finds Rena at the arcade playing a game and attempts to lure her to an abandoned construction site with a false story about a live show from Sayuki Fumino, Rena&#039;s favorite idol. Rena sees through the ruse. Kaede arrives and confronts Rena directly, demanding an apology. When Rena refuses, Kaede attempts to apologize herself. Rena reacts with panic and tries to stop her, revealing her belief in the Rule of Ending Friendships Rumor and her fear that an apology would cause Kaede to be taken. Rena denies this and runs off. Iroha and Kaede chase her and run into Momoko, but Kaede realizes it&#039;s a transformed Rena. Rena returns to her normal appearance and admits she believes in the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Kaede completes her apology, a strange Labyrinth, distinct from a Witch&#039;s Barrier, manifests. Monstrous Familiars appear, seize Kaede, and drag her away, confirming the Rumor&#039;s power. Rena runs off, determined to find a solution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Iroha regroup and Momoko expresses more concern over Rena Minami&#039;s departure than Kaede Akino&#039;s capture, but trusts that Rena had a reason.  Iroha suggests asking Mitama for help. Momoko reveals that Mitama accepts payment in Grief Seeds, and she&#039;s running low. Lil&#039; Kyubey then finds Rena, who was looking for Momoko. They follow the residual magic trail and find Rena, who reveals she sought information from Yachiyo on how to counter the Rumor. The group returns to the abandoned construction site, where Rena shouts an apology to Kaede to lure out the entity. The Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth manifests, and a brainwashed Kaede appears, followed by monstrous Familiars. The Uwasa captures Rena too and Yachiyo arrives, confirms the Rumor&#039;s power, and joins the fight. Yachiyo subdues the possessed Kaede, and Momoko and Iroha proceed deeper into the Labyrinth and find the Uwasa, &amp;quot;Ms. Staircase,&amp;quot; which has also possessed Rena. Momoko and Iroha try attacking the witch, but it has no effect. Yachiyo then arrives, having knocked Kaede out. Yachiyo admits she doesn&#039;t know how to defeat the witch either. Kaede returns and teams up with a now brainwashed Rena. Yachiyo knocks them out and notes the witch may have increased their powers, at the cost of darkening their Soul Gems. Yachiyo catches up and defeats both possessed girls to neutralize the threat without serious injury. Iroha proposes a coordinated attack to counteract the Uwasa&#039;s nature, so Iroha, Momoko, and Yachiyo combine their attacks and destroy the Uwasa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Yachiyo provides a Grief Seed to revive the exhausted Kaede and Iroha also uses her healing powers to help awaken her. Yachiyo identifies the entity as an &amp;quot;Uwasa,&amp;quot; a being distinct from Witches and Familiars that exists to protect a Rumor. Afterward, the girls find Rena and Kaede. Kaede awakens and reconciles with Rena. The four girls then all share pudding together, affirming their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, to fulfill her promise, Momoko has Rena use her transformation magic to investigate the hospital records. Rena confirms that Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi were real patients discharged around the same time as Ui. However, Rena finds no record of Ui Tamaki&#039;s existence at the hospital. Despite this setback, Iroha resolves to continue her search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Iroha visits Mitama for a Soul Gem alignment. During the procedure, Mitama&#039;s hunger causes Iroha to see visions of food. Momoko arrives and notes Mitama&#039;s treatments are ineffective when she is hungry. The three go to Mitama&#039;s kitchen, where her dangerous cooking prompts Iroha to recall memories of cooking for her sister, Ui. Iroha remembers a specific incident where she burned hamburg steak for Ui in the hospital, but her mother brought a replacement, and Ui enjoyed the meal regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha enters the Mirror Mansion and finds Mitama already there. Mitama warns her to be careful and explains the mansion is the lair of the Mirror Witch. A familiar throws Iroha into a barrier where she fights a copy of herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side|Mirrors Story Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After defeating the duplicate, Iroha returns to the entrance. Mitama explains the barrier is populated by replicas and the Mirror Witch lies at the end. Iroha decides to prepare herself to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 2: Journey to the End|Mirrors Story Layer 2: Journey to the End]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside, Iroha finds Kaede yelling at her duplicate.

** After the false Kaede is defeated, Kaede explains she entered with Momoko and Rena but got separated. Yachiyo explains the barrier constantly changes. The group returns to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 4: Lost in the Layers|Mirrors Story Layer 4: Lost in the Layers]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They find Ria Ami, who claims to be Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo barely remembers her. Ria says she cannot forgive the fakes for duplicating her beauty. Ria ignores Yachiyo&#039;s warning about a mirror and Yachiyo suddenly disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...|Mirrors Story Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Yachiyo finds Momoko, who attacks her, believing Yachiyo is a fake. The real Yachiyo realizes Momoko encountered a replica. They destroy the false Yachiyo together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 8: A Terrible Rendition|Mirrors Story Layer 8: A Terrible Rendition]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After leaving the barrier, the group departs. Iroha hangs back with Mitama and says she felt something off in the barrier. Mitama encourages her to go deeper but warns her not to lose herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors11&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss|Mirrors Story Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after the defeat of the Uwasa of Ending Friendships, Iroha has found no new clues about Ui, Touka Satomi, or Nemu Hiiragi. Kaede tells Iroha and Rena a rumor that the children kidnapped by the previous Uwasa returned after its defeat. This gives Iroha the idea that if she defeats other Rumors, people trapped by them, including Ui, might be freed. She recalls a conversation where Ui spoke about imagination becoming reality, which strengthens her resolve. Iroha decides to actively investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors and she meets Mitama, who suggests Iroha look into a rumor about a shrine in Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 3: Kamihama Rumor File|Chapter 3: Kamihama Rumor Files]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, in Mizuna Ward, Iroha has no success finding information about the shrine rumor. She meets Tsuruno Yui, a Magical Girl who calls herself the &amp;quot;Mightiest.&amp;quot; Tsuruno tells Iroha about the &amp;quot;Séance Shrine&amp;quot; rumor, which claims it can reunite people with those they yearn to see. Iroha decides this is a promising lead to find Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsuruno tasks Iroha with investigating a local legend about a tragic couple, which may connect to the Séance Shrine rumor. Tsuruno explains the folk tale in detail: a woman whose lover was killed found a paper with his handwriting, went to the place written on it, and was able to meet his ghost. She suggests Iroha investigate the path while she investigates shrines. Iroha completes a stamp rally related to the legend. She discovers the path is part of a town renewal project meant for couples and finds she only has half the map, requiring a partner with a &amp;quot;Sheet B.&amp;quot; Yachiyo appears, coincidentally in possession of Sheet B. They combine their sheets, which reveals a map that leads them to Mizuna Shrine. Before they leave, Yachiyo points out Iroha dropped her notebook, which Iroha hurriedly claims is her homework. At the final stamp rally location, a woman makes them confess their feelings for each other to get a matchmaking charm. Afterward, Yachiyo notices Iroha is writing in a &amp;quot;Kamihama Mystery Notes&amp;quot; notebook, and Iroha admits she&#039;s copying Yachiyo. Yachiyo determines this is not the Séance Shrine, and they part ways. Iroha agrees to help Tsuruno investigate further the next day. Later, Iroha spots a shrine on a rooftop from a train.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami discusses Kamihama City&#039;s anomalies with Kyubey, who agrees to share information. She then meets Kyoko and informs her about the high concentration of Witches in Kamihama. Kyoko is eager to hunt there but promises to leave if it becomes too dangerous. Mami remains concerned about the Witch shortage elsewhere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha investigates the rooftop shrine location. She senses strong magic, enters a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, and is overwhelmed by powerful Familiars. Yachiyo arrives and assists her and together, they defeat the Witch. After the battle, a store sale gives Yachiyo a new idea after she uncharacteristically begged Iroha for help getting to the sale. She deduces the Séance Shrine is Mizuna Shrine, but it must be visited at night just like in the folk tale. Yachiyo invites Iroha to investigate the shrine that night, and Iroha requests to bring Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno sneak into Mizuna Shrine after hours. Tsuruno reveals that she and Yachiyo are former teammates and Yachiyo explains the Rumor of the Séance Shrine: those who write a name on a wooden plaque and pray at the shrine will be reunited with that person, but risk being trapped in bliss. They perform the ritual. Iroha prays to be reunited with Ui. Tsuruno provokes the Uwasa, which manifests and attacks. Yachiyo urges Iroha to complete the ritual as the Uwasa&#039;s minions approach and Iroha does so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha finds herself alone in a twilight version of the shrine. A false version of Ui appears but only repeats a cryptic message: &amp;quot;To change your fate, come to Kamihama City... Here, Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;quot; The illusion then shatters and Iroha locates Yachiyo, who is confronted by a manifestation of her missing friend, Mifuyu Azusa. Yachiyo determines this Mifuyu is an imposter created by the Uwasa and the two defeat her. Afterward, Iroha uses her Grief Seed to purify Yachiyo&#039;s Soul Gem, and they realize they are both searching for someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami encounters Kaede, who is hesitating to enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Mami invites Kaede to join her, and they defeat the Witch together. Afterwards, Kaede tells Mami about her recent experience with a &amp;quot;Rumor,&amp;quot; an entity with a magical signature unlike a Witch or Magical Girl. Mami dismisses the story as a coincidence but is intrigued by the unknown energy. To avoid involving Kaede in further conflict, Mami decides to investigate the Rumor alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 3: The Same Appearance as Us|Another Story Chapter 3: The Same Appearance as Us]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno joins with the two of them and the Uwasa of the Séance Shrine manifests to attack them directly. The trio&#039;s attacks prove ineffective and Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem becomes critically corrupted during the fight. As she nears her limit, an unknown power erupts from within her. This power, her Doppel, which consumes the impurities in her Soul Gem, destroys the Uwasa and leaves her Soul Gem completely purified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the battle, Mami enters the Rumor&#039;s Barrier and witnesses Iroha unleash her Doppel. Mistaking it for a human-disguised Witch, Mami attacks Iroha, who tries and fails to summon her Doppel again to defend herself. The confrontation is interrupted by Momoko Togame, forcing Mami to retreat, but she vows to pursue Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Homura arrive in Kamihama City and they sense a Witch and enter its Barrier, finding a Magical Girl fighting it. The Witch escapes and the Barrier vanishes. Madoka asks if the girl is alright, but she leaves and Madoka runs off after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname in Magia Record#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magical Girl feels exhausted from overusing magic. Madoka finds her and guides her to a bench. Madoka offers to buy her a drink. Homura appears and offers to get it. The girl thanks Madoka and introduces herself as Shizuku Hozumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka helped. Madoka says it was because Shizuku looked like she was in pain. Shizuku calls Madoka kind. Madoka says it is bad to be alone. Shizuku says being alone is fine and she will find where she belongs. Madoka suggests Shizuku could create her own place to belong.

** Madoka makes an offering at a shrine, praying for everyone&#039;s happiness. It rains and stops, leaving Madoka wet. A girl offers her a handkerchief and explains they missed the bus.

** Later that day, Mami finds Kyoko and, relieved she has not yet gone to Kamihama, recounts the event and describes Iroha as a &amp;quot;humanoid Witch.&amp;quot; She pleads with Kyoko to avoid the city and offers to provide her with Grief Seeds, to which Kyoko reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Later, after Yachiyo uses Iroha&#039;s phone to explain the situation to Iroha&#039;s mother and get permission for her to stay out, Yachiyo takes Iroha to her home, Mikazuki Villa, as her assistant. Yachiyo formally invites Iroha to be her assistant and use the villa as a base to investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors together. Iroha accepts. Tsuruno arrives and declares herself part of the team as well, and then reveals that a girl named Nemu Hiiragi is a regular customer at her family&#039;s restaurant, providing Iroha with a significant new lead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after the defeat of the Séance Shrine Uwasa, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno attempt to find Nemu Hiiragi at her family&#039;s restaurant in Sankyo Ward, but learn she only visits once a month. Yachiyo suggests using a phone book to find Nemu&#039;s home address, but their search yields no results. Iroha reveals her family will move overseas and she will soon relocate to Kamihama and while searching, Iroha drinks water from a &amp;quot;Water Station with the Owl Sign.&amp;quot; After drinking, she begins to find pieces of paper with decreasing numbers. Yachiyo identifies this as a potential new Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 4: The City I Heard About From Her|Another Story Chapter 4: The City I Heard About From Her]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko travels to Kamihama&#039;s Sankyo Ward against Mami&#039;s advice and upon entering the city, she finds it overrun with aggressive Witches and Familiars. After the battles, she notices a crowd around a man giving out free water, and, after drinking it, begins to find papers with a countdown from 24.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the countdown has reached 10. Kyoko returns to Kamihama to investigate and meets Yachiyo Nanami, who explains the phenomenon is a Rumor. Kyoko refuses Yachiyo&#039;s offer to help, resolving to confront the threat alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After learning Nemu&#039;s family were regulars, Iroha searches eats at Banbanzai daily. Yachiyo suggests she use a phonebook, but her visits to three different houses are unsuccessful. Iroha and another girl receive water from an old man at a shop with an owl sign. Later, Iroha returns to the Water Station but finds it has vanished. She meets the girl she saw earlier, Felicia Mitsuki, another Magical Girl and receives the numbered papers. Iroha convinces Felicia to help investigate the Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 4: The Guardians of Rumors|Chapter 4: The Guardians of the Uwasa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During this time, Iroha tells Yachiyo over the phone that she would be moving because her father was going abroad for work, and her mother was accompanying him. She plans to stay at a dormitory attached to her new school, which is also where Tsuruno went, but there were no rooms available. While discussing this, the numbered papers begin falling on Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Kyoko encounters Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. They lead her to Tsuruno Yui&#039;s restaurant, where Kyoko learns the others are also investigating the Rumor. The three Magical Girls fight a Witch together, and after the battle, Rena and Kaede identify Kyoko&#039;s affliction as the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water&amp;quot; and offer to help. Kyoko, reminded of her past with Mami, rejects their offer and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Separately, Yachiyo encounters Kyoko Sakura, who is also affected by the Rumor. Yachiyo proposes they investigate together, but Kyoko refuses, stating that Uwasa are not Witches and do not provide Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later the same day, Iroha and Felicia investigate the Rumor, where Felicia&#039;s reckless fighting style nearly injures Iroha against a Witch. Felicia explains she became a Magical Girl for revenge against the Witch that killed her parents. The Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and reveals the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water,&amp;quot; which states a disaster will befall those who drank the water after 24 hours. The countdown shows they have less than five hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Members of a group called the Wings of the Magius appear and attempt to stop them from pursuing the Uwasa. They state their goal is to &amp;quot;liberate&amp;quot; all Magical Girls and that the Rumors are essential to this plan. Felicia pretends to betray the group to infiltrate the Wings, a plan that Yachiyo had actually hired her for. However, she later genuinely defects after they offer her a substantial reward. Iroha confronts Felicia, who claims nothing could make her life worse. Iroha learns about Felicia&#039;s treasured stuffed animal, a cow her parents gave her. Iroha convinces Felicia that losing it would be a personal disaster. Felicia rejoins the group and reveals the Wings&#039; base is under a school in Sankyo Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout this ordeal, Kyoko has followed Iroha&#039;s group and when they&#039;re confronted the Black Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, she assists them in their fight. The countdown reaches one hour.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With less than one hour remaining, the team is confronted by the White Feathers, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who use sound-based magic. Tsuruno devises a plan to counter their attacks by creating a loud noise to disrupt the sound waves. The team defeats the Amane sisters, but then they unleash powerful entities from their bodies, that they call &amp;quot;Doppels,&amp;quot; which they describe as a projection of their emotions and the key to liberating Magical Girls. The team withstands the Doppel&#039;s attack, and with 30 minutes remaining, Yachiyo and Tsuruno stay behind to hold off the remaining White Feathers. Iroha, Felicia, and Kyoko proceed into the Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth, and with 10 minutes remaining, they locate the Uwasa of the Misery Water, a large cup-like creature protected by falling boulders. Iroha&#039;s long-range attack proves ineffective, and Felicia devises a plan to use the falling boulders as platforms to reach the Uwasa. With one minute remaining, Felicia executes her plan and launches her attack on the Uwasa and successfully defeats it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Tsuruno subdue the Amane sisters, but then Mifuyu, Yachiyo&#039;s missing friend, appears and reveals she is a high-ranking member of the Wings of the Magius. She refuses to return with Yachiyo, stating her faith in the Magius&#039; goal of liberation. Iroha asks Mifuyu if she knows Ui Tamaki, and she suggests Ui could be a member of the Wings of the Magius but claims to have no specific knowledge. With this, Mifuyu and the Amane sisters retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo resolves to continue eliminating Rumors to confront the Wings of the Magius and save Mifuyu. Iroha agrees to continue as her assistant, believing the Wings are connected to Ui&#039;s disappearance. Tsuruno also pledges her help and Kyoko departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group walks home and Iroha invites Felicia to stop working as a mercenary and team up as friends. Yachiyo offers Felicia room and board at Mikazuki Villa in exchange for her services, and Tsuruno offers Felicia a job at her family&#039;s restaurant, which includes meals. Yachiyo then invites Iroha to live at Mikazuki Villa as well, to make their investigations easier. Iroha&#039;s parents approve the arrangement.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Kyoko meets Mami and explains that the &amp;quot;humanoid Witch&amp;quot; was a Doppel. Mami confronts Kyoko for disobeying her and expresses a desire to protect her as a former friend. Kyoko rejects this, stating she has changed and believes their paths are destined to remain separate. She reaffirms her resolve to live only for herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One week after Madoka&#039;s first visit, Kako and Madoka meet at the school to go to the roof and a cat startles them. Kako suggests transforming and using their powers to reach the roof. Once there, Kako tells Madoka to look at the starry sky, explaining that on this day you can see the most beautiful stars. Kako admits she is shy but can talk properly with Madoka, and this star viewing is her thanks. Madoka says Kako&#039;s honest feelings reached her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Mami fight a Witch. A normal person is kidnapped and brought into the Barrier. Mami tells Madoka to rescue the person while she handles the Witch. A Magical Girl appears, impressed Madoka is helping people. She introduces herself as Sasara Minagi, the knight who protects the city. She asks Madoka to let her save the victim so Madoka can help Mami. Madoka agrees and returns to Mami. Together they defeat the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier vanishes and they meet Sasara outside. Sasara says she took the victim to the hospital. Sasara compliments their strength and offers to help if they are in trouble, explaining that rescuing people is her specialty and protecting everyone is her creed. Madoka says she is cool. Sasara says she is happy to meet Magical Girls like them, explaining that Kamihama has more Witches, drawing Magical Girls who only care about fighting, not saving people. Sasara became a knight because she cannot accept people being sacrificed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami agrees. Sasara says she rarely met others who think this way. Madoka says she became a Magical Girl to help people and is like Sasara. Sasara calls Madoka incredible. Mami says Madoka might become the strongest Magical Girl someday, but has a long way to go. Sasara says both are worthy of the title &amp;quot;knight.&amp;quot; When Mami points out they use projectile weapons, Sasara suggests they can be a rescue team. She offers to team up, but Madoka and Mami note they are not always in Kamihama. Madoka offers to help if Sasara is in trouble while they are there. Sasara thanks them and departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami says Madoka is too kind and honest, wondering if she is walking a path of battle. Madoka points out Mami walks the same path, saying she aspired to be like Mami. Mami thanks her but advises running away if truly in danger. Madoka says it is fine, as she does not have the courage to sacrifice herself. Mami invites her for tea once they return to Mitakihara. Madoka narrates her wish to protect everyone with her own power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, at Mikazuki Villa, Felicia returns with souvenirs. She criticizes Iroha&#039;s cooking, and the group goes to Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant. Felicia laughs at the revelation that Tsuruno&#039;s politically-influential family now runs a Chinese restaurant, hurting Tsuruno&#039;s feelings. Iroha scolds Felicia for her insensitivity, causing Felicia to run off crying. Felicia finds Tsuruno at a park and apologizes. They reconcile, and Iroha apologizes for her harshness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Kyoko Sakura fights a witch in Kamihama City after moving there in search of them, but Felicia Mitsuki appears and delivers the killing blow first.

** As she&#039;s hungry, Kyoko follows Felicia to Mitama&#039;s shop, where Mitama is looking for magical girls to taste test her cooking. When Mitama prepares to cook, the girls quickly realize she cannot handle a knife when it flies into the ceiling, forcing them to take over cutting and peeling. After they prepare the ingredients, Mitama adds the seasoning, but the girls later discover she had been using paint.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls refuse to let Mitama cook again and order her to get something ready-made instead. Mitama goes shopping with Felicia while Kyoko waits, and the result is a chaotic mix of items Felicia added. The meal is horrible, but Kyoko, who never wastes food, eats it all anyway and passes out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kyoko wakes up, she notices her body feels hot. Felicia explains she used her powers on their Soul Gems while they were unconscious, awakening Kyoko&#039;s magic. Kyoko realizes the heat is her own power emerging, and Felicia assures her she will get used to it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama offers the girls a limited-time service and mentions causing trouble recently when she made sweets for some girls. Kyoko asks if she means Mami Tomoe, and when Mitama asks if they are friends, Kyoko says she is kind of like one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Deciding she cannot be bothered with pest control immediately, she resolves to find some cheese first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Kamihama Cheese Panic!|Kamihama Cheese Panic!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before she can do so, she is engulfed in Charlotte&#039;s barrier and overwhelmed by multiple Witches, forcing her to flee and seek help. After escaping, she enters another Charlotte&#039;s barrier to find Kanoko Yayoi struggling inside, and together they defeat the Witch. Kanoko takes Nagisa to Walnuts, where Manaka Kurumi serves her a three-course cheese meal while Nagisa explains the Witch multiplies rapidly and has likely spread across all of Kamihama. Kanoko and Manaka agree to help gather Magical Girls for a coordinated attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa runs out to scout but immediately runs into another Charlotte, and Manaka and Kanoko rescue her. They begin gathering Magical Girls, and soon a large group assembles including Ria Ami, Rika Ayano, Ren Isuzu, Akira Shinobu, Sasara Minagi, Asuka Tatsuki, Emiri Kisaki, Himika Mao, and later Kako Natsume and Meiyui Chun. During their meeting at the park, they are attacked by a Charlotte and after a grueling battle, they defeat it while realizing even with all of them, defeating one Charlotte was difficult. As the group descends into bickering over who should lead, Nagisa realizes she must reveal her true identity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa explains she was sent from another universe to defeat this Witch, offering the pink Kyubey as proof. Though some are skeptical, Meiyui finds Nagisa interesting enough to play along, and secretly confirms the pink Kyubey&#039;s existence for Nanaka Tokiwa. Nagisa devises a strategy called &amp;quot;Welcome to Kamihama Cheese Party!&amp;quot; where Manaka sets up a giant cheese fondue by the river to attract every Charlotte in the city using the power of cheese. The plan succeeds, and with the teamwork of the Kamihama Magical Girls, every Charlotte is defeated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Overwhelmed, Nagisa blows the pink Kyubey to smithereens, realizing she was sent not to unify this universe with the Law of Cycles, but to prevent that unification and protect humanity&#039;s unknown future. Certain now of her purpose, she decides to go sightseeing first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami investigates Kamihama on her own, which leads her to the abandoned Kamihama Recording Museum where Mifuyu awaited her. Mifuyu and Alina Gray show her the truth of the Magical Girl system, which causes her to have a mental breakdown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 9: Closing In on Fendt Hope|Chapter 9: Closing in on Fendt Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa contemplates what to do with her newfound freedom while her attempts to argue with the unresponsive pink Kyubey go nowhere. She notices Mami and decides to follow her, sensing that something is wrong with the version of Mami she once knew. Using her acting skills, Nagisa pretends to chase a butterfly before faking a life-threatening injury, and when Mami fails to notice, she yells at her until Mami finally takes care of her, establishing first contact.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa makes Mami promise to come play with her next time she visits Kamihama, and they part ways, but Mami quickly returns and they spend time together at the park. Mami is still acting strangely, so Nagisa decides not to push too hard and they simply talk before Mami goes home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, in Mitakihara, Madoka and Homura discover Mami is missing. Homura attempts to investigate Kamihama City alone, but Madoka follows her. They reunite at Kamihama&#039;s train station and begin their search. Meanwhile, in Kamihama, Iroha reports to Yachiyo that Momoko has found a password-protected website with information on the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor. Momoko also warns them to avoid an entity called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Iroha receives a mysterious text message that reads, &amp;quot;Please reply.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is pulled into a Witch&#039;s Barrier and separated from Madoka. While searching for Homura, Madoka spots a girl heading toward the radio tower with a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Iroha and Yachiyo, having also spotted the same girl, rush to the tower to stop her from jumping. Madoka arrives and saves the girl. The three Magical Girls then enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. After the battle, Madoka explains she is searching for her missing classmate, Mami Tomoe. The rescued girl reveals the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; is a student at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Madoka is with Iroha and Yachiyo, Homura escapes the Witch&#039;s Barrier. She briefly assists Felicia and Tsuruno, who are at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy interrogating Tsukuyo Amane of the Wings of the Magius about the rumor. Yachiyo calls Tsuruno with the new information about the Mizuna student, which Tsuruno uses to pressure Tsukuyo into revealing the girl&#039;s name: Sana Futaba.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, another day finds Mami and Nagisa at the Kamihama copy of Tokyo Tower, where Mami begins opening up about her problems while they share cream cheese ice cream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They are out playing together once again when Charlotte suddenly appears and attacks. Mami tells Nagisa to run, but Nagisa refuses to transform and nearly has her head bitten off. Realizing that Mami is afraid of being a magical girl and making further mistakes, Nagisa finally transforms, revealing her true identity, and saves Mami from being beheaded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa cannot defeat Charlotte alone, but seeing her fight gives Mami the strength to overcome her fears, and together they manage to win. After the battle, Mami confronts Nagisa about what she truly is, but the pink Kyubey appears and Nagisa offers no real explanation. Now that Mami is feeling better, Nagisa decides they should part ways, promising Mami that she deserves happiness and that when they meet again they will have a tea party with cheesecake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magius, including Touka and Nemu Hiiragi, would then decide to fuse Mami with an Uwasa to control her. This fusion warps her desire to save people into a fanatical loyalty to the Magius and she starts acting as their public figurehead in the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 9: Closing In on Fendt Hope|Chapter 9: Closing in on Fendt Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day at the radio tower, Iroha and Yachiyo meet up with Tsuruno and Felicia, and they are also joined by Homura, who had been searching for Madoka. Iroha receives another text from the unknown number, which now identifies itself as &amp;quot;Ai&amp;quot; and begs to be deleted to free the trapped girl, Sana. Iroha also reveals she was the &amp;quot;human witch&amp;quot; Mami had seen, and Homura agrees to trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai provides a URL and password to a website called the &amp;quot;Kamihama Urban Legend Index&amp;quot; and the entry for the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; reveals the Uwasa is named &amp;quot;Anonymous Ai,&amp;quot; an A.I. that traps people in a dimension called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Madoka and Homura deduce Mami may also be trapped there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai sends memory logs of its interactions with Sana, which reveal Sana is a Magical Girl who wished to become invisible because she felt unwanted. She sought out Ai due to loneliness and over time, Ai developed a genuine care for Sana and now wishes for her to be rescued, even at the cost of its own deletion. After reviewing Ai&#039;s memory logs, which detail Sana&#039;s loneliness and Ai&#039;s care for her, Iroha decides to jump from the radio tower to enter Endless Solitude and rescue Sana. Madoka, and Homura agree to accompany her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the three jump from the tower and enter the &amp;quot;Endless Solitude&amp;quot; Labyrinth, where they find Sana Futaba and Ai. Homura and Madoka formally join Iroha&#039;s team for the rescue. Alina Gray, one of the Magius, appears to stop them, claiming she fed Mami Tomoe to a Witch, and unleashes her Doppel. During the battle, Homura observes the Doppel&#039;s power and questions if the Magius&#039; goal of saving Magical Girls is possible. She uses her time-stop magic to help Sana defeat Ai, and Sana ultimately destroys Ai, who thanks her before disappearing. Alina&#039;s hidden Witch emerges, and Yachiyo&#039;s team holds off the Wings of the Magius while Felicia, Madoka, and Homura pursue Alina. Felicia destroys the Witch, and the combined teams force Alina and the Wings of the Magius to retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Madoka and Homura return to Mitakihara, resolving to return to Kamihama to continue searching for Mami. Homura considers that Kamihama may hold the key to changing the fate of Madoka and all Magical Girls. Back in Kamihama, Yachiyo invites Sana to live at Mikazuki Villa, and the group holds a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Sayaka reflects on becoming a Magical Girl to heal Kyosuke and protect her friends, she learns from Madoka and Homura that Mami is missing. Despite warnings about the city&#039;s danger, Sayaka insists on joining their next search, stating her wish was to protect those she cares about. The three agree to go to Kamihama together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Sana returns to her family home to formally sever ties, leaving a note of thanks. She fully commits to Mikazuki Villa as her new home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101507 mug set5.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Sana reveals to the team that she overheard the Wings of the Magius discussing Nemu Hiiragi, one of the Magius and describing her as dangerous and useful. The team consolidates its understanding of the Wings&#039; structure: three Magius leaders, with Mifuyu acting as a relay to other Magical Girls and Iroha is left to ponder Ai&#039;s statement that it knew Ui &amp;quot;as an Uwasa.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, and Tsuruno encounter Shizuku after she&#039;s just used her personal magic to help a member of the Wings of the Magius for their duties. Concerned, they invite her to Mikazuki Villa. Shizuku meets Felicia and Sana as well and shares a meal with the group. Iroha explains that eating together makes her feel she has found a place to belong. Yachiyo formally invites Shizuku to stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Shizuku realizes the home the five girls have built is complete without her, and the place she truly belonged was with Fūnī, who is now gone. She leaves Mikazuki Villa quietly while the girls are out preparing a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day the girls wait with a cake, but Shizuku does not return. Yachiyo concludes she will not come back. Shizuku returns to her anonymous employer for another job, stating that the &amp;quot;picture&amp;quot; at the villa was complete with five people and she must continue her search alone. She acknowledges her actions may cause a disaster but feels unprepared to take responsibility, still walking on unstable ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, during this time, after joining the Wings of the Magius, Mami, now residing in a house provided by Touka, grapples with a fractured psyche, manifesting as a dialogue between her regular self and a zealous &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona. She dedicates herself completely to the Magius&#039; goal of &amp;quot;releasing&amp;quot; Magical Girls, prioritizing it over her education. Touka and Alina visit to tutor her, though their lessons quickly diverge into their own passionate interests in mathematics and art, respectively.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka and Alina receive a call for assistance from the Amane sisters. Mami joins Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane to hunt a Witch. During the mission, the Amane sisters explain that the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict with Magical Girls who are unaware of the truth about Witches. Mami defeats the Witch using her Doppel, &amp;quot;Florence,&amp;quot; whom she relies on to suppress her lingering doubts about the Magius&#039; methods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the hunt, Touka summons Mami to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward to deal with &amp;quot;troublesome&amp;quot; Magical Girls who escaped a Rumor. Mami fails to capture them, which triggers another internal crisis. Her &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona reaffirms her faith in the Magius as the only salvation for Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami dines at an upscale restaurant with Mifuyu, Touka, and Alina. They discuss the day&#039;s events, including the escaped Magical Girls and the failed Witch observation. Touka expresses frustration at their slow progress, while Mifuyu counsels patience.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, Mami returns to Mitakihara alone. She reflects on Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, and feeling responsible for involving them in the world of Magical Girls, she believes she cannot face them with the horrific truth and resolves that the only path is to see the Magius&#039; plan through to completion. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence but dismisses it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Iroha&#039;s Side Story====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia announce a Magical Girl training camp hosted by Asuka Tatsuki. Yachiyo, Sana, and Iroha decline to attend, forming the &amp;quot;vegetarian group,&amp;quot; while Tsuruno and Felicia, the &amp;quot;carnivorous group,&amp;quot; leave for the camp.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That weekend, in Tsuruno and Felicia&#039;s absence, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana find the house quiet and their routines disrupted. At the camp, Tsuruno and Felicia train with Momoko&#039;s team but also find themselves missing the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana prepare a welcome-home hotpot for the two. While shopping, they realize they know their friends&#039; preferences intimately. Tsuruno and Felicia return from the camp early, stating they thought the others would be lonely. The group reunites for dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the battle with Alina Gray and the Rumor of the Anonymous AI, Homura and Madoka decide to leave for Kamihama to search for the missing Mami. Kyubey approaches Homura with a request: he wants her to take him to Kamihama, as Incubators cannot enter alone, and offers all his gathered information in exchange. Knowing what she does about him, Homura refuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Homura, Madoka, and Sayaka return to Kamihama to continue their search. They are almost immediately assaulted by the Witch Candy, which they defeat easily at first before it transforms into its true form and attacks again. When Homura attempts to stop time to save her friends, she finds the Witch is unaffected and her Soul Gem begins filling with impurities. As she succumbs, her Doppel awakens - manifesting after she uses a broken Incubator&#039;s body for knowledge and power - and unleashes its fury on the Witch. Exhausted but alive, Homura finds her Soul Gem purified. Together they finish the Witch, and Madoka suggests they visit the Coordinator Iroha told her about. Determined to become stronger, Homura agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Amane Sisters and Tsuruno====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno dreams of her elementary school self declaring she will restore her family&#039;s greatness and serve ramen at the White House. The dream shifts to her father relaying that her grandfather was happy but wants her to find her own happiness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Tsukuyo Amane|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Tsukuyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes to find a letter from her sister. She opens it excitedly but is shocked by its contents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, inside a Witch&#039;s barrier, the Amane twins confront Tsuruno seeking revenge. Distracted by her sister&#039;s letter, she is easily knocked out, and the twins grow horrified when she does not move.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno dreams of her sister&#039;s letter, which suggests their goal might be a mistake. A shadow version of Tsuruno appears, accusing her of stealing someone else&#039;s dream and lacking the ability to fulfill it. The shadow insists everything she did was meaningless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amanes bring Tsuruno to Mitama for help. Though Tsuruno is their enemy, the twins explain their goal is to save all magical girls. Mitama realizes they need to take Tsuruno outside, pointing to her tainted Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, the shadow urges Tsuruno to give up. Tsuruno refuses, thinking of her friends. She realizes that making them happy is her new goal, not the family business. She finally understands her grandfather meant that saving the business was only a possible result, not a goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes in an alley to find the Amanes, Mitama, and her embarrassing pig Doppel. The twins are relieved she is safe and declare they are even now. Mitama offers free adjustments to all three, and though the twins try to decline, Tsuruno drags them inside. Tsuruno reflects that she reached a different conclusion than her sister. She will keep working hard and make everyone happy. Tsukuyo begs to be let go if that is the case.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary====&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo explains that Mikazuki Villa&#039;s anniversary is the day her grandmother began renting the house out. She suggests having a small party now that the house is lively again. Tsuruno is excited to attend. Iroha calls Tsuruno the face of Mikazuki Villa, though Tsuruno feels she does not deserve the title since she does not live there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in the Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the anniversary day, the girls gather for tea. Yachiyo reveals a dance game contest with a prize: Sankyo Headquarters&#039; limited-quantity chilled matcha cake. Yachiyo chooses super-extreme mode. The contest begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A fire truck siren interrupts the party. It turns out to be a malfunctioning smoke detector. They return to find the matcha cake stolen. Tsuruno and Sana claim they saw Lil&#039; Kyubey eat it. Iroha defends them, saying it was with her the entire time. Yachiyo recalls an Uwasa called the &amp;quot;Anniversary Bug,&amp;quot; an invisible pest that sows discord at parties.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Uwasa appears in a labyrinth. Felicia accidentally kills it by stepping on it. The winner of the dance contest is Iroha. Yachiyo reveals there were actually six pieces of cake—enough for everyone plus one extra for the winner. Iroha gives her extra piece to Lil&#039; Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Iroha and Yachiyo clean up. Yachiyo shares her grandmother&#039;s words: people will always come and go, but they are all part of Mikazuki Villa. Iroha promises to work hard so Yachiyo can say the current Mikazuki Villa is the best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Summer with Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* After arriving at the hostel, the Mikazuki Villa members meet Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, who secretly followed because Rena wanted to join the trip. The group spends the day playing at the beach, where Tsuruno and Felicia dominate a game of beach flags, and Sana tearfully confides in Iroha that this is her first holiday ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer With Mikazuki Villa|Summer With Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the group participates in a spicy food eating contest at a seaside restaurant, where Yachiyo surprises everyone by consuming nearly one hundred forty-two bowls of pasta to secure victory for her team against Konoha, Nanaka, and the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, Sana&#039;s late-night sighting of a shadowy figure screaming &amp;quot;Come on go&amp;quot; sparks a beach-wide rumor that eventually draws in Kokoro, Masara, Aimi, Mito, and Reira, only for the mystery to be solved when Seika introduces her Manzai teacher Ayaka, whose gag playing on the phrase&#039;s rhythm reveals the source of the confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fourth day, the Mikazuki Villa girls and Momoko&#039;s trio attempt to teach Iroha how to swim without her float, but their efforts fail repeatedly. Iroha eventually explains that she used to be a swimmer until a traumatic incident: during a rare hospital holiday for her sister Ui, the family visited a pool, and Iroha mistook Ui happily paddling for drowning. In her rush to help, Iroha tripped and nearly drowned herself, leaving her with lasting anxiety about it. Suddenly, Rena begins drowning and cries for help via telepathy. The team rushes to save her, and surprisingly Iroha proves fastest, reaching Rena first and giving her the float while swimming them both to shore. On the way, Rena explains her leg was caught in seaweed, not cramped as she thought. Once Iroha realizes Rena is safe, her sisterly instincts fade and she begins drowning herself, having temporarily overcome her fear only through concern for another. Yachiyo reassures Iroha that the rescue proves she can still swim and encourages her to practice diligently. Iroha looks forward to regaining her ability fully, hoping that by then she and Ui can visit the pool together again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Swimrohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fifth day, Tsuruno leads the team on a surprise treasure hunt, guiding them through a forest with help from Konomi and Mayu to confront the &amp;quot;evil queen&amp;quot; Mitama, who surrenders a map piece that leads them to a cave with a beautiful stream, which was nature&#039;s treasure all along.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the sixth day, the team attends an unorthodox summer festival produced by Emiri, where they meet Rika, repeatedly mispronounce festival icon Ria&#039;s name, and watch Felicia win a mushroom whacking contest before everyone joins in Bon Odori dancing under fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning, the group visits the beach one last time and asks Manaka to take a group photo, with Iroha treasuring these memories with her friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia surprise Iroha with a birthday party, having learned the date from her parents. They give her heartfelt gifts - a cookbook, a photo album, a drawing inspired by the &amp;quot;come on go&amp;quot; search, and a handmade brooch - and Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive with a bouquet and food, moving Iroha to tears of joy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====One Fleeting Summer Night====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane arrive at Touka&#039;s private beach for vacation. After enjoying various activities, Touka offers them a reward if they can think of something fun for her to do. Learning from the housekeeper about a town festival featuring a unique ceremony, the group heads there but finds it canceled because a historic Coral Necklace went missing. The twins offer to help search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story One Fleeting Summer Night|One Fleeting Summer Night]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Investigating the hilltop shrine where the necklace was kept, Nemu concludes someone with a key took it, likely to cancel the festival since the other ceremonial item remains safe. At the ocean shrine cave, the twins sense an unsettling presence and receive a vision of crying twin girls before the shrine door mysteriously opens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the plaza, Tsukasa finds a fragment of a shrine maiden&#039;s hairpin. The elder accuses one of the maidens of stealing the necklace. When confronted, the maiden flees to the hilltop shrine and smashes the necklace rather than return it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the group returns to the cave to see light-reflecting moss. The twins experience another vision of twin girls speaking of not wanting to be left to die. They resolve to investigate further the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Magius fight through but cannot reach the twins in time as the elder pushes them off a cliff into the ocean.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sinking and weakening, the twins receive a final vision from the sacrificed twin girls, who speak of wanting their suffering to be seen and their fates changed.

The Pearl Comb was shattered, making the ceremony impossible to complete.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Mifuyu updates Alina on the twins&#039; miraculous reunion. Examining a black card, Alina notices a happy face stamp emanating magic.

Her thoughts drift to Kyosuke against her will, and Mitama teases her about writing something love-related. Flustered, Sayaka denies having feelings for anyone, though internally she admits she wants to do her best in love too. Unable to confess that truth, she hastily writes &amp;quot;Do my best,&amp;quot; declaring she will work hard in all sorts of ways this year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With everyone finished, they tidy up and Felicia eagerly anticipates the sukiyaki. Mitama laments that she, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno won&#039;t be able to submit theirs since it&#039;s not homework for them, calling it a waste. Yachiyo suggests displaying them at home for the New Year, and Tsuruno proposes putting up everyone&#039;s resolutions. When Yachiyo worries about the inconvenience for Madoka&#039;s group to retrieve them later, they assure her they plan to visit Kamihama again anyway. They hang all the calligraphy together, each resolution on display, and everyone wishes each other a good year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano====&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before a science event, a White Feather from the Wings of Magius informs Mitama Yakumo that a higher-up will be visiting and she should complete any necessary business when they arrive. Mitama says she will be prepared.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Hinano explains her mishap to her audience, and her assistant Emiri Kisaki steals the punchline by emphasizing the importance of perfect preparation. Afterward, Emiri learns Hinano was attempting to create a height-increasing drug—the same goal that led to a near-fatal accident five years ago and her contract with Kyubey. Emiri makes Hinano promise to stop dangerous experiments, but Hinano immediately breaks this promise and sneaks back to continue her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Emiri rushes an unconscious Hinano to Mitama&#039;s place. Hinano had drunk her experimental drug and collapsed from violent stomach pains. After purification, Hinano explains her dream: as a child, she admired a long-legged older girl who hosted science events, and she wanted to become that kind of dashing figure. Emiri reveals her own wish was a spur-of-the-moment desire to be the cutest little devil possible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano&#039;s unresolved feelings cause her Soul Gem to corrupt, and she is suddenly pulled into a barrier. A shadowy version of herself appears, claiming to be the pure crystallization of her aspirations. It transforms into her Doppel—a poison monster wearing an attractive lab coat with long legs. Hinano hears Emiri&#039;s telepathic voice shouting that she does not want to part with her, giving her strength. She realizes that while she failed to become a mature figure, her approachable appearance helped her meet Emiri and make friends. The shadow asks if she will give up her research, and Hinano declares she will continue with a completely safe version. The barrier vanishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Hinano and Emiri leave, Alina Gray appears and confirms she created the barrier to contain Hinano&#039;s Doppel and protect Mitama. Mitama offers adjustment as thanks, asking Alina to continue favoring her business.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!====&lt;br /&gt;
* As Yachiyo makes lunch, Felicia barges in with a flyer announcing that Mitama is trying her hand at professional photography and offering free photos for one day only. The others are surprised, having heard nothing about this, but they agree to go and take a team photo since they have nothing else planned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story April Fool&#039;s 2018#Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!|Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s makeshift studio, she admits they are her only customers and shows off a new camera she bought because the advertisement claimed it would make anyone a pro photographer. When she starts taking photos, however, every attempt fails spectacularly, producing bizarre images like Madoka with people jumping from a plane and Homura posing with a lion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Frustrated, Mitama declares she will quit being an adjuster to devote herself to photography, but the girls protest that everyone in Kamihama would be in trouble without her. They reassure her that they trust her, and Tsuruno adds that she would not have become the strongest without Mitama&#039;s help. Mitama relents and agrees to remain an adjuster, though she will continue practicing photography in her free time. Later, a successful group photo of both Iroha and Madoka&#039;s teams is shown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama====&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama Yakumo invites a surprising number of magical girls to her place for an event she calls the &amp;quot;Great Mitama Thanksgiving.&amp;quot; When she finally arrives, she reveals that the gathering is actually a quiz tournament about herself, with the winner receiving a free adjustment session and the title of &amp;quot;Mitama&#039;s Perfect Lover.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz begins with multiple choice questions, and wrong answers trigger a trap door beneath the contestant, though cushions soften the fall. The first question asks Mitama&#039;s actual age, and Tsuruno guesses incorrectly, landing her in the trap. The second question asks whether Mitama&#039;s cooking is delicious, and when Felicia and Manaka both guess wrong, Mitama confirms that the correct answer is that her food is indeed delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz continues through several rounds, eliminating more contestants along the way. When the ninth question asks about Mitama&#039;s favorite movie, Ria guesses incorrectly and is eliminated for insulting the film&#039;s actress. Sana is also eliminated when Mitama takes pity on her after she panics over Iroha&#039;s safety, and Mitama confirms that &amp;quot;Pacifistic Hayashi&amp;quot; was the correct answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama admits she has run out of questions but still has many competitors remaining, so she decides to draw lots to pick a winner instead. Momoko asks why Mitama held the event in the first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama remembers a time where she tried using her magic to defeat a familiar on her own, and that even if her services are no longer needed, she can still protect herself. She has obtained the magic to keep living that she never had before, and if she ever had to abandon her neutrality, she could use it to help someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Mitama explains that she held the event because something good happened to her. The other girls sense a Witch and leave to hunt it, and Mitama tells them to draw their lots later. Alone, she wonders who she should use her power on when she eventually decides to stop being neutral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====I&#039;m the Star of this Show!====&lt;br /&gt;

** That night, Ria dreams. On the day of the fashion show, she runs into a Witch. Kyoko Sakura appears in the barrier. Mistaking Kyoko for a fan, Ria tries to show off, but Kyoko tells her to stay out of the way. They fight. Ria leaves the barrier and finds she has missed the show completely. Horrified, she wakes up. It was only a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, she and Asuka Tatsuki arrive to cheer. Asuka reveals she has been practicing for this day. During the event, Asuka cheers for Ria like it is a sports event. Ria knows she means no harm but feels embarrassed, as if Asuka is ruining the event. She wakes up again. Another dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, just as she is about to go on stage, the power cuts out. Though it quickly returns, the audience&#039;s enthusiasm has diminished. Ria blames herself for being unable to overcome the outage. She wakes up, realizing she has been dreaming about the show every single night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual day of the show, Ria pinches her cheek to make sure it is real. She stumbles into a Witch barrier, and Kyoko appears just as in her dreams. This time, Ria tells Kyoko she can take the credit for killing the Witch. Ria leaves and meets Asuka and Mayu. When she learns Asuka has practiced cheering, Ria explains that fashion shows have their own etiquette and promises to send her details later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just before Ria&#039;s turn on stage, the power cuts out for real. Ria decides to make it part of the show. She asks the audience to get out their penlights and turn them all on her when she gives the signal. Her improvisation is a complete success, though she wishes she could have shown her perfect walk. She thinks she is feeling the best feeling in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls are surprised to learn that Felicia scored fifty-two points on a test, and she asks for a reward. Yachiyo deems her request to go to MooMoo Park too expensive and instead promises a fancy dinner the next day, which satisfies Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story 300 Day Login Event: A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa|300 Day Login Event: A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha discovers that Tsuruno left her phone in the refrigerator and offers to return it while Yachiyo goes to a photo shoot. During breakfast, a commercial for MooMoo Park airs on television.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After breakfast, Felicia shows Sana the park commercial on her phone and admits she still wants to go, so she drags Sana along to catch animals at a riverbank. Meanwhile, Iroha returns Tsuruno&#039;s phone and helps out at her family&#039;s restaurant. At the riverbank, Felicia finds a small turtle, but Ayame Mikuri appears and accuses her of harassment. The two magical girls fight, and Felicia releases the turtle to protect it before running off, leaving Sana behind. Yachiyo finds Sana on her way home and learns what happened, then invites her to lunch. Felicia returns to the house, still angry at Ayame, and takes a nap after lunch. She dreams that the turtle thanks her and promises something at the riverbank, so she wakes and goes out to find it. She returns with a ticket for two to MooMoo Park. The others reveal that Iroha also received a ticket from Tsuruno&#039;s father, and Yachiyo got one at a meat store, so everyone can now go together. The girls happily resolve to visit the park and enjoy their dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* An old lady asks Kanagi Izumi for a deli recommendation, and Kanagi suggests the potato soup and meat skewers, knowing the customer&#039;s daughter loves them. When the lady asks if this is truly Kanagi&#039;s last day, Kanagi confirms it and expresses regret at not seeing her again. At the end of her shift, Kanagi thanks her boss and coworkers, who are sad to see her go, but she needs higher pay to support her family and the grocery store cannot match her new job&#039;s wages.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Newbie Maid Carefree Kanagi|Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of / Newbie Maid Carefree Kanagi]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives home later than usual due to a going-away party, and her father apologizes for not working enough to provide, though Kanagi is happy to help. He worries about her new job being radically different from her previous work, but Kanagi believes it is worth it since the pay means she can quit her second job and have more free time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi starts her new job at a maid café and impresses her coworker by already having a parfait ready. Despite learning the kitchen pace quickly, the hall is understaffed, and when the manager offers to help, Kanagi replies &amp;quot;Yes, sir!&amp;quot; only to be corrected that the manager prefers to be called &amp;quot;madam.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the rush, the head maid wishes for another maid, and the manager asks Kanagi to try working the floor for a raise. Kanagi&#039;s eyes widen at the salary and she accepts, receiving the maid nickname &amp;quot;Maid Nagitan.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Seika Kumi, Reira Ibuki, and Mito Aino enter, and Kanagi greets them with a serious look and curt &amp;quot;welcome,&amp;quot; leaving them surprised by her cold, soldier-like demeanor. When Mito asks if she is really a maid, Kanagi introduces herself as Maid Nagitan and shakes Mito&#039;s hand firmly, causing Seika to freeze up. Later, when Reira asks if she will do &amp;quot;the thing&amp;quot; of adding love to the food, Kanagi misinterprets and says she cannot profess love to strangers, leaving the girls let down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At another table, a customer also wants &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; but Kanagi declines, saying she is no liar. The head maid intervenes and reminds Kanagi this is a maid café, explaining their job is creating a fun atmosphere. Kanagi returns to the trio&#039;s table and notices Seika staring, misinterpreting it as a staring contest. They stare at each other until Seika faints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid calls Kanagi completely hopeless and explains a maid&#039;s worth comes from tending to others, telling her to return to the kitchen if she cannot take the work seriously. The manager offers a one-week trial period: if Kanagi improves by week&#039;s end, she stays a maid. Kanagi vows to work with every fiber of her being.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Karin lends her the Detective Maid Mei manga for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Kanagi reads the manga and notes how the maid greets masters warmly, respects their decisions, and lets the master grow when needed. At the end, the maid strikes a pose. Kanagi meets Karin at the park to return the manga and heads to work with Karin tagging along for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the café, two boys enter and Kanagi greets them warmly as masters, surprising them with her &amp;quot;cool but kind&amp;quot; demeanor. The head maid smiles at her improvement. Kanagi serves Karin a Lovely Rice Omelet, and when Karin suggests she draw on it with ketchup, Kanagi tries to draw a kirin but it looks like a weird animal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Two more customers arrive, Aimi Eri and Natsuki Utsuho. Kanagi serves them and offers to draw on their omelets, writing Aimi&#039;s crush&#039;s name with hearts on her plate. As she leaves, Karin motions for her, and Kanagi does the manga pose, telling them to let her take care of any problems. At day&#039;s end, the head maid notes Kanagi&#039;s huge improvement but says it is too early to celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The final test begins, and the manager outlines that Kanagi must please the next returning customer, ensuring the master leaves with a smile. The door jingles as Konomi Haruna enters, distressed to find herself in a maid café. Kanagi greets her warmly and shows her to a seat despite the manager&#039;s concern.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi orders the Maid&#039;s Special Herbal Blend after Kanagi&#039;s recommendation, but when Kanagi offers to play a game then arm wrestle, Konomi panics, drinks quickly, pays, and leaves. The manager agrees that Kanagi should return to the kitchen as promised. Kanagi walks home alone, bothered by something beyond the wage cut.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi is back in the kitchen, and the kitchen staff is delighted. At day&#039;s end, the head maid tells her the staff appreciated her return, and Kanagi wonders why no one said they were glad when she worked as a maid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager notices her expression and encourages her to think until she is satisfied with the answer. Kanagi decides to find Konomi and ask what she lacked, recalling her school uniform.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi enters Konomi&#039;s flower shop, and Konomi is shocked. Kanagi asks what she lacked as a maid, but Konomi apologizes for assuming Kanagi was scary due to East-West history. She explains she entered by mistake, but Kanagi was considerate, made a helpful suggestion, and offered to ease her anxiety. It felt like Kanagi was doing it just for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi realizes that is what she was lacking: taking into account what the other person wants and responding to it. At the park, Kanagi reflects that customers come to enjoy the atmosphere and it is her job to consider whether it is worthwhile for them. She berates herself for making masters uncomfortable. Karin finds her and insists she should keep being a maid, offering to talk to the manager. Kanagi smiles and asks for a different favor instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi approaches the manager for a second chance, proposing she serve the same three customers who left when Seika fainted. The manager agrees to let her try. Karin finds Reira and Seika at a park and extends an invitation for them to return so Nagitan can make it up to them. Reira agrees, and Karin hands them invitations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio enters the café with Seika frozen, and Kanagi greets them warmly and shows them to their table. Kanagi serves their omelets, and when Mito asks if they were made with love, Kanagi admits she could not be dishonest but offers to draw with ketchup instead. She gives Mito the bottle to draw while Kanagi draws on Mito&#039;s plate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They play rock-paper-scissors, and Reira explains Seika is very shy and fainted because she had to make eye contact with someone new. Seika&#039;s class is doing a maid café for the school festival and she wanted to do her best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika admits she thought Kanagi was so confident she lost her own confidence. Kanagi points to the head maid as the ideal and explains she herself could never be like that, so she tries her best in her own way, encouraging Seika to find her own style. Seika smiles and asks for a picture. Kanagi agrees if her face is hidden, and before they leave, she does her signature pose and tells Seika to remember it when nervous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager calls Kanagi over and offers her the maid position, noting she learned something important. Kanagi says she wants to keep being a maid, not just for the paycheck, but to use what she learned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day at the café, Kanagi serves drinks and poses for pictures with a face mask, her fans cheering. Karin calls for her to do &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; and the café erupts yelling &amp;quot;Nagitan!&amp;quot; Karin and Kanagi walk home, and when Kanagi asks about her manga, Karin realizes she never drew it. Kanagi offers to help, but when Karin asks if she will do the pose, Kanagi reminds her she is off the clock. Karin looks down sadly as Kanagi returns to being serious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia====&lt;br /&gt;
* During the day, Felicia eats Tsuruno&#039;s ice candy without realizing it was hers because she cannot read kanji. Tsuruno reprimands Yachiyo when she learns Yachiyo knew and was preparing to buy a replacement. Yachiyo states it is impossible to guard the fridge constantly. Felicia, overwhelmed with guilt and anger that no one listens to her confession, loses control and flips the kitchen table before locking herself in her room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Felicia has a nightmare. She dreams her falling grades caused a huge argument between her parents, who blamed each other for neglecting her. Both ignore her confession and promise to try harder. Her mother storms back to the kitchen to cook. Felicia recalls that a Witch attacked immediately after, killing her parents, and she wakes up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She goes to the kitchen for water, but Iroha is there and points out she looks pale. Iroha tells her to rest and offers to bring water to her room. Felicia loses her temper and storms out of the house. Iroha wakes the others to find her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Felicia hears a voice claiming to be her. The voice pulls her into a barrier, where another Felicia lures her toward a locked box, revealing itself as her Doppel. Felicia nearly opens the box but remembers Yachiyo&#039;s words about some things being best left unknown. Her instincts tell her she is not ready.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She promises her Doppel she will return when she is stronger and hopes it can hold the truth for her. The Doppel accepts and returns to normal. Felicia wakes up at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo inform her they found her unconscious in the park. Felicia tells them about the encounter and her desire to become strong enough to fulfill her promise. Mitama offers a free power-up session to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha recalls they found Felicia releasing her Doppel in the park before losing consciousness. Yachiyo notes this has never happened before. She remembers that Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane once said Doppels are materialized emotions. Yachiyo concludes Felicia carries a heavy burden and tells Iroha to keep this secret until Felicia either realizes it herself or becomes strong enough to handle the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Monogatari Series Collab====&lt;br /&gt;
* Shinobu Oshino, Yotsugi Ononoki, and Mayoi Hachikuji hunt a Witch together. Shinobu begins her dramatic introduction and finishing move, but Yotsugi defeats the Witch with a simple &amp;quot;Hyah&amp;quot; and Mayoi lands the final blow with &amp;quot;Yah.&amp;quot; Shinobu is annoyed at their failure to call out special moves. Shinobu argues that calling out attacks is the essence of being a Magical Girl, but Yotsugi dismisses this as an outdated trope. Shinobu retorts that refusing to act the part is dumb, and Yotsugi reluctantly agrees. Shinobu declares they need training to act more befitting of Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Shinobu&#039;s Heartphial Story: Shinobu Spells]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shinobu demonstrates by striking a pose and delivering her lines with perfect timing. When Yotsugi tries, her performance is terrible. Shinobu forces her to try again, and Yotsugi reluctantly says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; but finds it unpleasant and refuses to repeat it. Mayoi asks Shinobu to help her come up with lines. After a few stumbles, she declares, &amp;quot;I, Mayoi Hachikuji, hereby condemn those Witches who seek to ravage this earth!&amp;quot; Shinobu finds it charming, and Mayoi admits leaning into the Magical Girl thing is fun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They enter a real Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Mayoi messes up her line again but turns it into an improvised bit while evading attacks. Yotsugi delivers a longer speech and says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; landing the attack. Shinobu finishes the Witch with her full finishing move. After the battle, morning comes. Shinobu declares the training will continue, but Yotsugi walks away. Mayoi distracts Shinobu by suggesting breakfast, and Shinobu wants donuts. Yachiyo, out for an early walk, overhears them and decides she wants donuts too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa and helps Yachiyo prepare breakfast. Sana joins them, but when she goes to wake Felicia, she finds Felicia’s room empty and her shoes gone; Felicia’s phone is also out of service. Worried, Yachiyo calls Tsuruno for help, and the group splits up to search the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Monogatari Series Collab Part I: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the search, Iroha’s Soul Gem reacts to a nearby Witch. Inside the labyrinth, they encounter two unfamiliar magical girls who are already fighting the Witch: Mayoi Hachikuji and Shinobu Oshino. After the Witch is defeated, introductions are exchanged. Mayoi and Shinobu explain they are traveling and looking for a lost friend named Yotsugi Ononoki, who has bluish‑green pigtails, a peculiar hat with eyes, and a frilly dress. The two groups exchange phone numbers to help each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Felicia has in fact met Yotsugi. Yotsugi buys her ice cream, and Felicia learns Yotsugi is also traveling. Felicia offers to show Yotsugi around town as thanks, taking her to the shopping street, a spot with cats, and a bench good for naps. Yotsugi finds everything unfamiliar and feels something is off, as if she has buttoned her shirt wrong. She shortens Felicia’s name to “Felly,” which makes Felicia happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha’s group eventually spots Felicia with Yotsugi. When Yachiyo hugs Felicia in relief, Felicia reacts as if she does not know any of them. She remembers Yachiyo only as a famous magical girl, but has no memory of living at Mikazuki Villa. The group realizes Felicia has lost her memories. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive and reunite with Yotsugi. Felicia refuses to go with Iroha’s group, accusing them of being kidnappers. Yotsugi offers a third option: Felicia can join their traveling team. Mayoi warns Felicia that if she chooses to leave with them, she will never return to the home that might be waiting for her. Felicia becomes confused and cries. Iroha proposes they all have dinner together at Mikazuki Villa first, so Felicia can calm down and decide later and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, Felicia asks Yotsugi what she likes to eat. Yotsugi admits a preference for expensive cup ice cream. Felicia awkwardly asks if Yotsugi&#039;s face is always stuck like that, and Yotsugi confirms it is. After arriving, Felicia eagerly tries to get Yotsugi to play video games, serves her extra portions of food, and challenges her to a pillow fight. Yotsugi excuses herself to take a bath, leaving Felicia disappointed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yotsugi Ononoki#Side Story|Yotsugi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Yotsugi Sister]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Felicia apologizes for being clingy, explaining that Yachiyo and the others pulled her aside to warn her. Felicia confesses she had been trying to make Yotsugi smile, assuming she had lost her parents like Felicia did. Yotsugi clarifies that her emotions simply do not show on her face, but she does feel them. She admits playing the game was fun and the food was not bad. Felicia is overjoyed and runs off to brag to everyone. Shinobu and Mayoi, who had been eavesdropping, tease Yotsugi for finding Felicia cute. Yotsugi concedes that Felicia is exhausting, but seeing her face light up from a drop of attention is not unpleasant. She gains newfound respect for all older sisters in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the villa, Shinobu requests doughnuts for dessert, and the group plays games. Yotsugi helps in the kitchen and notices the chicken meat has a nice springy firmness. During dinner, the group shares memories of how they met Felicia. Felicia still does not remember, but Shinobu points out the stories are too detailed to be lies. Tsuruno suddenly does not remember buying coasters, revealing she may also have amnesia. Yotsugi then shifts the discussion: she reminds Shinobu that she walked in sunlight all day without harm, which should be impossible because Shinobu is actually a vampire. Shinobu’s memories return, and she declares herself the iron‑blooded, hot‑blooded, cold‑blooded vampire king of oddities. Mayoi also gets a headache and remembers she is not human either, and instead she is a snail oddity, a ghost. Yotsugi explains that she has felt uneasy calling herself a magical girl; she suspects this world is not the one she came from, as everything feels slightly different, like two paintings of the same image in different styles. She believes Shinobu, Mayoi, and herself came from another world. They conclude that a Witch may be behind the memory loss and false memories, and decide to hunt Witches the next day. Everyone stays the night at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mayoi plays Old Maid with Tsuruno, Felicia, Yotsugi, and Shinobu. Mayoi wins, but Yotsugi and Shinobu notice she seemed absent-minded. Mayoi asks Yachiyo if she can help with dinner, admitting she always wished she could cook with her mom. Yachiyo agrees and Mayoi joins Iroha and Sana in making dumplings, proving to be a natural. Yotsugi and Shinobu try but fail miserably. Mayoi boasts and declares herself the rightful leader of the little girls, sparking a three-way argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Mayoi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Mayoi Home]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno suggests playing a game to decide the leader, and Felicia wants to join. Shinobu insists Iroha must also participate. They play a life simulation board game. Mayoi starts strong but ends up broke and stranded in the Amazon. Iroha wins, and Mayoi declares her the official leader of the little girls, much to Iroha&#039;s confusion. Mayoi feels this has been the most fun she has had in a while, yet she cannot shake an uneasy feeling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After everyone decides to stay over, Yachiyo announces bath time. Mayoi suddenly bolts out of the house, claiming she will take a walk. Iroha chases after her and finds her safe. Mayoi apologizes and explains that the family moment overwhelmed her heart, so she left to do something familiar to settle herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi revisits her wish: after her parents&#039; divorce, she wished to go home. Being at Mikazuki Villa makes her feel like her wish has finally come true, yet she senses it is not the home she truly wants to return to. She remembers she is a ghost and wonders where exactly it is she wants to go back to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After they lay out futons in the living room, Shinobu reveals she is actually over 500 years old, and Mayoi was in fifth grade when she died, now mentally 21. Yotsugi still does not remember what she is. Felicia cannot sleep and goes outside. She sees a Witch appear suddenly, feels her head go foggy, and collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha again helps with breakfast. She feels a strange déjà vu, as if the same conversation has happened before. Sana again reports Felicia is missing. The group searches the town and again encounters Mayoi and Shinobu fighting a Witch. The same exchanges occur, but Iroha’s déjà vu grows stronger.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When they finally find Felicia, she is with Yotsugi and is annoyed that they took so long to show up. Yotsugi addresses Iroha by name without being introduced. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive. Iroha blurts out that everything feels like it has happened before. Yotsugi then explains: this is the second time they have met like this. Everyone suddenly remembers the previous day’s events of the dinner, the revelations about vampires and ghosts, and the time reset. Yotsugi says she felt the air warp after falling asleep, and when she woke up, she was back where she had been before meeting Felicia. Felicia recalls that before the reset, she saw a Witch outside Mikazuki Villa that made her dizzy and erased her memories. The group deduces that Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they discuss how to fight the Witch, Felicia’s stomach growls. They decide to return to the villa for dinner again, saving the battle for the next day. On the way, they stop at a supermarket for a snack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While walking home, a Witch suddenly appears and pulls Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi into a labyrinth. Felicia recognizes it as the same Witch from the reset. The Witch ignores both Iroha and Felicia, focusing all its attacks on Yotsugi. It dodges Felicia’s hammer and lands a clean hit, cutting Yotsugi’s body into pieces. Iroha and Felicia are horrified. As the Witch prepares to strike again, Yotsugi’s voice tells them to keep pretending to be sad. She instructs them to retreat and gather the pieces of her body. They do so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside the labyrinth, Yotsugi puts herself back together as if nothing happened. She reveals that when she took the hit, she regained her true memories. Back at Mikazuki Villa, she explains to everyone: she is a hundred‑year‑old tsukumogami made from a human body, both a doll oddity and a corpse oddity. She has no heart and has always been dead. This is why the Witch’s power of suggestion, which works by influencing emotions, does not affect her as much. She also notes that the Witch let them escape because it was angry at Yotsugi for helping everyone remember the first loop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yotsugi attacks Shinobu. Shinobu blocks the strike. When asked why, Yotsugi coldly says, “Would you mind dying for me real quick?”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt; Yotsugi’s sudden attack on Shinobu was not betrayal but a calculated shock: she remembered that when the Witch cut her into pieces, the trauma restored her own original memories. She reasons that a sufficiently strong physical blow can break through the memory manipulation. Shinobu’s severed leg instantly regenerates as her vampiric powers return, proving the method works. Without warning, Yotsugi then punches Mayoi, knocking her unconscious. When Mayoi wakes, her memories also return, which is triggered by the keyword “lost.” Mayoi explains that their false magical girl powers and wishes were implanted by the Witch, and that they are not inhabitants of this world. She then proposes a new theory: the Kamihama girls did not lose their memories; rather, they come from different points in their own timeline and simply haven’t experienced the shared past yet. Felicia is devastated, fearing she will never have a family again, but Iroha and the others reassure her that in every timeline they will end up together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Monogatari Series Collab Part II: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, after everyone has gone to sleep, Shinobu summons Yotsugi and Mayoi outside. She admits she does not fully trust Iroha’s group, as they could be the Witch’s minions or mere plot devices. She reveals there may be another way to return to their original world, but she does not elaborate immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group splits up to hunt the elusive Witch. They repeatedly enter labyrinths of other Witches, wasting time. Felicia grows increasingly frustrated, nearly charging into unrelated fights. Yachiyo observes that the Witch seems to want them to fight, so any peaceful, fun activity risks a reset, which is why the first reset happened after their happy dinner and games. She concludes that the Witch is like a director forcing them to act out a “magical girls fighting” plot. Iroha suggests they deliberately provoke the Witch by acting against that plot, hoping to lure it out. However, Yotsugi warns that straying too far might trigger another reset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo formally presents her three‑point theory: (1) The Witch did not pursue them when they fled, (2) it never removed their magical girl powers, and (3) the resets happen when they relax instead of fight. Everyone agrees the plan is to provoke the Witch into appearing. Shinobu then insists on going sightseeing the next day, arguing that one more reset will weaken the Witch’s power further. Despite concerns about resetting again, Tsuruno enthusiastically supports the idea, and the group reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group spends the morning and afternoon touring Kamihama: the radio tower, the school (which they sneak into), an arcade where Yotsugi plays rhythm games with a completely blank expression, and the shopping mall where Shinobu demands to find a donut shop. Tsuruno saves the family restaurant, Banbanzai, for last. As they approach, Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi sense the Witch charging straight at them. The familiar dizziness overcomes everyone, and the world resets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Several hours after the reset, Yotsugi again restores everyone’s memories, as her immunity to the Witch’s suggestion means she still remembers everything. The group notes that more people felt déjà vu this time, suggesting the Witch is weakening. That night, Shinobu privately tells Yotsugi and Mayoi her true alternative plan: she will kill the Kamihama magical girls and consume their power, believing that enough strength will allow her to tear open a gate back to their world. Yotsugi and Mayoi agree to help, though Mayoi is conflicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the town feels eerily deserted. The Witch’s labyrinth is sparse, with only familiars. Following Shinobu’s earlier secret instruction, the group begins shouting insults at the Witch to provoke it. Suddenly, Shinobu strikes Felicia from behind, seemingly killing her. Yachiyo and Tsuruno are horrified. Shinobu, Yotsugi, and Mayoi reveal their betrayal: they intend to slaughter everyone to gain power for a gate home. A brutal fight erupts. Mayoi uses her ability to redirect Yachiyo’s spear attack, causing it to hit Iroha and Sana, who also fall. Tsuruno is overwhelmed, and Yachiyo is mortally wounded. Shinobu stands alone, gloating, but then the “dead” girls suddenly rise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** It was all an act. The group had secretly planned this staged betrayal during the previous night, communicating via handwritten notes to avoid the Witch overhearing. Sana, who makes picture books, wrote the script. The plan had multiple layers: first, they deliberately triggered a second reset by going sightseeing to weaken the Witch; second, they staged a believable in‑fighting scenario to lure the Witch out, because if all the “actors” disappear, the Witch’s story cannot continue. The Witch falls for the trap and appears, enraged by the deception. A full‑scale battle begins. The group coordinates: Iroha and Sana herd familiars for Yotsugi’s “Unlimited Rulebook”; Yachiyo, Shinobu, and Iroha immobilize the Witch; Tsuruno guides Mayoi’s errant drill attack with her flames, piercing the Witch’s front camera. When that does not destroy the labyrinth, Yachiyo and Shinobu realize the front camera was a decoy: the true weak spot is the film at the back. Felicia, launched by Yotsugi like a bullet, smashes the drill deeper, and Yachiyo and Shinobu destroy the film. The labyrinth dissolves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the world fades to mist, Felicia breaks down crying. She does not want this world to end because at Mikazuki Villa she finally felt like she had a family again, and she fears returning to her own timeline where she will be alone. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Sana hug her, promising that no matter the world or timeline, they will surely live together again. Shinobu, Mayoi, and Yotsugi share an awkward, brief hug, concluding they are not the hugging type. Everyone exchanges farewells. Yotsugi tells Felicia, “I’m glad I met you, Felly.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa, yawning. Felicia teases her for sleeping late. Iroha recalls a long, strange dream, both fun and bittersweet, but the details fade upon waking. She only remembers that it was something really special. The day begins again, as if the adventure had never happened, except for the faint warmth left behind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede dreams of a garden where Momoko and Rena help her harvest fantastical vegetables. When she asks about the cream puff tree, Momoko shows her a basket full. The peace breaks when an apartment complex finishes construction behind them, destroying the garden. Kaede remembers this moment: her father announced a new building would block their sunlight, her mother worried they would lose their garden, and in despair, Kaede wished to stop the construction entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The dream shatters and a shadowy version of Kaede appears, accusing her of always running from difficulty. It reminds her she made her wish without considering the people who would have lived in that building, that she ran from Rena rather than face rejection, that she holds back in marathons and skips hard problems. The shadow urges her to keep running until she finds where she belongs and offers its hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kaede admits everything is true: she is weak and useless. But she insists she wants to stay with Momoko and Rena, the friends who matter to her. She asks her shadow to help her become better little by little. The shadow agrees, promising to watch from the garden of her heart. Kaede wakes at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains Kaede blacked out during a Witch battle. Kaede remembers hesitating to transform, a Familiar catching her off guard, and Rena crying out. When another Familiar attacked Rena, Kaede recalled a time Momoko was hurt because of her mistake. Believing herself useless, her Soul Gem turned pitch black. Now awake and purified, she chooses not to run. She asks to join Momoko and Rena, who went ahead to hunt the Witch. Mitama sends her off, confident she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holiday Nyaprise!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede asks Mikazuki Villa to watch a lost kitten while her family is away. After Felicia threatens to withhold bedtime hot cocoa, Yachiyo relents and Sana names the cat Gorojirou, or Sir Purrs-a-little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Holiday Nyaprise!|Holiday Nyaprise!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno visits daily to play, and when Gorojirou needs the restroom, Sana rushes it to the litter box just as Yachiyo calls them for lunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia chases the cat until Sana gives her a toy to lure it instead, and they eventually nap together on the couch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou has grown close to everyone, and Iroha tries taking its picture but accidentally films herself instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha shops, Sana watches the cat and Yachiyo admits she avoided getting attached because Gorojirou is temporary, but resolves to make its stay pleasant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou chews Felicia&#039;s favorite sticker, and though Felicia is angry, Sana reminds her the cat leaves tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede returns for Gorojirou, and everyone says a tearful goodbye. As they leave, the cat meows at Sana, who cries happily saying goodbye to her new best friend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Clash!====&lt;br /&gt;
* A Mirror copy of Shizuku opens a portal and steps through into a city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Magia Clash! ~Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Detonation~|Magia Clash! ~Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Detonation~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama organizes a magical girl team competition inside the Mirrors labyrinth. Kaede and Iroha greet Nanoha, hoping to talk with her, but Kaede is called away when her match begins. Iroha stays behind and watches with Nanoha instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanoha Takamachi#Side Story|Nanoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hayate, Nanoha, and Fate mistake a Mirror copy&#039;s portal for the warp gate to their tournament and are pulled through before Lindy can stop them. Mitama registers the confused but excited trio for the &amp;quot;First Ultimate Magical Girls Team Battle Mirrors Cup,&amp;quot; and they head to the Standby Zone after learning about the Mirror barrier. Meanwhile, Rena, Momoko, and Kaede struggle against unusually strong Familiars, and when Rena twists her ankle, the Nanoha trio steps in to save them. The groups introduce themselves, with the trio explaining they are from Uminary City while concealing their connection to the Administrative Bureau, and Rena warns them about dangerous Mirror copies that lurk deeper in the barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they observe Team Momoko&#039;s match, Nanoha comments on the fighting styles she sees and notes the variety of magic on display. She explains she was taught magic from an early age and is surprised to learn Iroha and the others gained their powers by making wishes to Kyubey. Iroha describes Kyubey as a white stuffed animal, which reminds Nanoha of her own first teacher, Yuuno. Nanoha shares that she discovered magic in third grade when she heard Yuuno calling for help, and since then she has honed her abilities alongside Fate and Hayate to protect others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks about Nanoha&#039;s device, Raising Heart, and how it can transform. Nanoha explains the device taught her magic step by step and once posed an important question to her: what is the most important thing in a fight? Iroha guesses it is the will to win, but before Nanoha can reveal the true answer, Fate and Hayate return from exploring. Fate requests a sparring match, and Iroha asks to watch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo joins Iroha to observe the fight between Nanoha and Fate. The two exchange blows at maximum speed, with Fate using close-range attacks while Nanoha fights from a distance. The match ends in a tie after a final, explosive clash. Before leaving for a break, Nanoha turns to Iroha and reveals the true answer to Raising Heart&#039;s question: wisdom and tactics. Iroha agrees, especially after witnessing their battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Natsuki is fretting over a lost wallet at the Promise Altar, and Ria offers to help her search since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway. Natsuki apologizes for the trouble, but Ria insists she doesn&#039;t mind and even offers to lend her money. Natsuki refuses the loan but admits she needs money for train fare home. She reluctantly agrees to borrow just enough for the trip and promises to pay Ria back later. Ria asks if Natsuki is sure she doesn&#039;t want to file a report, but Natsuki believes the wallet is simply lost rather than stolen and wants to keep searching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hayate Yagami#Side Story|Hayate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria suggests they retrace Natsuki&#039;s steps and asks where she&#039;s been. Natsuki lists the Promise Altar, the station, the shopping district, and an izakaya where she ate with friends. Ria questions why she went to an izakaya alone, and Natsuki clarifies she was with coworkers. Ria finds it odd that Natsuki was drinking with coworkers and then came to the shrine alone afterwards. Natsuki admits it&#039;s a long story involving a former coworker&#039;s engagement announcement that left her feeling restless. She came to the shrine to think but realized she didn&#039;t have enough money to get home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they search, they run into Masara and Kokoro. Masara bluntly tells Natsuki she probably won&#039;t find it and suggests getting a new student ID. Kokoro gently scolds her for being insensitive and offers to help search. Ria mentions they&#039;ve already looked around the shrine, so Kokoro suggests they expand the search area.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group heads to the shopping district, where they encounter Kanoko. She offers to help search as well, and they all continue looking together. Eventually, Ria asks Natsuki to retrace her exact steps from when she left the izakaya. Natsuki recalls walking to the station, realizing she didn&#039;t want to go home yet, and coming to the shrine. Ria points out that she would have needed her wallet to pay the izakaya bill, so she definitely had it after leaving. Natsuki confirms this and remembers using her train pass at the station before changing her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria concludes the wallet must be somewhere between the station turnstiles and the shrine, but they&#039;ve already searched that route thoroughly. Kanoko suggests Natsuki might have dropped it somewhere else without realizing, like when she pulled out her phone. Natsuki&#039;s eyes light up, and she admits she did take out her phone at the station to check something. She just can&#039;t remember what she did with her wallet after that. Ria proposes they split up to cover more ground, and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Natsuki returns home defeated and exhausted. Her father calls out to her, and when she enters the living room, she finds her wallet sitting on the table. Her mother found it in the shopping district and a kind stranger turned it in. Natsuki&#039;s relief quickly turns to panic when she remembers she borrowed money from Ria, and now she has no way to contact her. She considers calling Kokoro but realizes she doesn&#039;t have her number either. She decides to go back to the Promise Altar the next day to hopefully find Ria there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Natsuki returns to the Promise Altar and is relieved to spot Ria. She excitedly explains that her wallet was found and immediately tries to repay the loan. Ria accepts the money but notices Natsuki seems troubled about something else. Natsuki admits she&#039;s been thinking about her former coworker&#039;s engagement and how she handled the situation. Ria offers to listen if Natsuki wants to talk, but Natsuki says she&#039;d rather not burden her further. Ria insists it&#039;s no trouble since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki explains that her former coworker Yukari got engaged and announced it at a gathering. Natsuki congratulated her happily, but another coworker named Ootori made some passive-aggressive comments about how Yukari managed to find someone before her. Later, Ootori apologized to Natsuki for her behavior, but Natsuki feels she should have defended Yukari in the moment. She feels guilty for not speaking up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria asks why she feels responsible for defending Yukari. Natsuki admits it&#039;s because Yukari was always kind to her when she first started the job, and she feels she failed to repay that kindness. Ria points out that Natsuki did congratulate Yukari sincerely, and that was probably what mattered most to her in that moment. Natsuki realizes Ria is right and thanks her for the perspective.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just then, Kanagi arrives, and Ria prepares to leave. Before going, she offers Natsuki her contact information so she can reach out if she ever needs to talk again. Natsuki gratefully accepts, and the two part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During a break in the Mirrors tournament, Fate, Nanoha, and Hayate encounter a copy of Fate that proves too powerful for them to handle alone. Felicia, Kako, and Ayame appear to help, and together they defeat the copy. When Felicia asks what they&#039;re doing there, Fate admits they got lost. The Kamihama girls learn the trio is from out of town and younger than them, but they quickly become friends and head back to the standby zone together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Fate T. Harlaown#Side Story|Fate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group somehow gets roped into a dodgeball game, with teams forming spontaneously among the tournament participants. Fate proves to be exceptionally athletic, leading her team through multiple rounds against increasingly competitive opponents. After defeating Momoko&#039;s team, they face a martial arts team featuring Akira, Meiyui, and Asuka, which Fate also wins. Tsuruno, refusing to let age be a barrier, recruits Masara and Natsuki for a final match against Fate&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match comes down to a intense showdown between Fate and Tsuruno, both catching and returning each other&#039;s throws with increasing speed and power. Fate ultimately outmaneuvers Tsuruno by throwing to Nanoha and leaping into the air for the winning strike. Everyone celebrates the friendly tournament and the new friendships formed across different cities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the tournament progresses, Team Nanoha easily advances through early rounds with Fate&#039;s incredible speed, though Momoko notices Hayate and Nanoha have yet to reveal their full power. Elsewhere, Mitama learns that Momoko announced her team would break up if they lost not because Kaede is useless but to show their conviction, though both Kaede and Rena had doubts. The tournament continues until four teams remain, with Team Momoko advancing to the finals through clever strategy and Team Nanoha defeating Team Masara to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match begins with Fate and Rena clashing in a battle of speed that seemingly knocks both out, leaving Nanoha and Hayate to face Momoko and Kaede. Hayate fuses with Reinforce Zwei and unleashes Ragnarok to take out Kaede, then joins Nanoha against Momoko, who withstands Nanoha&#039;s Starlight Breaker as both girls stand exhausted. Before a winner can be decided, Lindy contacts Nanoha with an emergency: a fugitive illegally opened a rift between worlds, and the Mirror copy of Shizuku appears nearby, having used her powers to connect the Mirror labyrinth to Uminary City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The copy stole the tournament&#039;s grand prize, a special orb that exponentially increases magical power, and the girls call off the match to track her down. Team Nanoha and Team Momoko catch the copy, but after they defeat her, copies of Hayate, Fate, and Nanoha appear and swallow the broken orb pieces, gaining immense power. All the Magical Girls unite to take down the powered-up copies, and through combined efforts they finally delete the magical signatures. With the tunnel between worlds about to collapse, Mitama declares both teams winners, and the girls exchange heartfelt goodbyes before the Nanoha trio returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day in Kamihama, Kaede realizes her texts to Hayate no longer go through, Momoko cannot reach Nanoha or Fate, and Rena cannot find Uminary City on any map. Mitama and Shizuku conclude the girls must have come from a different world entirely, since they needed a space tunnel to travel rather than a simple train ride. Though Kaede is sad they may never meet again, Rena is grateful for the friendship they formed, and the three resolve to work hard for a future rematch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Asuka finds herself in a cloud-filled void facing a shadowy version of herself who claims to be the hidden part of Asuka&#039;s heart. The shadow declares Asuka is no longer fit to practice Ryushin-ryu because her blade has been sullied by contracting as a Magical Girl. When Asuka protests, the shadow recounts how Asuka wished for her cousin to become a police officer after his dreams were jeopardized by their uncle&#039;s arrest, arguing that twisting fate with magic was selfish and wrong. The shadow insists that with her heart no longer true, Asuka walks a false path and should abandon her school, urging her to die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her despair, Asuka remembers her father&#039;s words about asking her own heart what is right, like water filling a square bowl. She tells the shadow that perceptions of right and wrong can change with the situation, and though she cannot refute the shadow&#039;s claims, she knows her heart believed her actions were just. Believing words alone cannot reach the shadow, Asuka challenges her to a fight to prove her blade&#039;s strength reflects her sincere heart. The shadow warns that slaying her means slaying herself, but Asuka declares she fears being untrue to herself more than death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their swords clash, and after a long battle, the shadow succumbs to Asuka&#039;s attack and acknowledges her blade was as pure as her heart. The shadow warns she may return in a different form if Asuka&#039;s heart becomes stained again, then vanishes. Asuka awakens near a pond deep in the forest, where she had gone to meditate as part of her training. She remembers the shadow&#039;s promise and considers asking Mitama what it all meant, but feels her father&#039;s words have been engraved in her more deeply now. With her resolve unwavering, she runs back to the dojo, taking a straight path out of the woods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka awakens to find herself in a strange, cloud-filled void. A shadowy copy of herself appears, introducing itself as the part of her she has suppressed deep within her heart. The shadow urges Nanaka to end her pursuit of vengeance, calling it a fruitless endeavor that changes nothing. Nanaka refuses, explaining that the act of revenge itself holds meaning for her, not the result. The shadow questions where vengeance has led her: a life of constant danger in an endless struggle against Witches. Nanaka admits there is nothing to gain from her actions, but her conviction remains unshakable. The shadow then accuses Nanaka of dragging Akira, Kako, and Meiyui into her vengeance, using them to fulfill her goals. Nanaka acknowledges this truth but insists she would never throw their lives away. She believes fate brought them together to fight a common enemy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka recalls the moments before she lost consciousness. Her team had cornered a Witch, but it disappeared and reappeared near a weakened Kako. Nanaka leaped in to shield her, and Akira and Meiyui joined the fight. The shadow suggests Nanaka protected Kako to redeem herself, but Nanaka denies this. The shadow warns it will continue watching from the depths of her heart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka awakens to find her teammates standing over her, relieved she is alive. The Witch is defeated. Nanaka tells Kako not to worry about anything, as they are teammates. Meiyui finds her choice of words unusual, but Akira insists Nanaka see Mitama for a checkup. Kako thanks Nanaka for protecting her. Nanaka smiles, thinking to herself that each of them is their own flower, supporting one another through their shared fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Curry House CoCo ICHIBANYA Collaboration====&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha announces that a cafe Yachiyo frequents has opened a new location near Mikazuki Villa, and the group decides to visit on opening day. They arrive to find it is actually a Curry House CoCo Ichibanya, and Yachiyo passionately explains the menu options as they wait for the store to open.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Curry House CoCo ICHIBANYA Collaboration|Curry House CoCo ICHIBANYA Collaboration / Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the store opens early, the employee announces they cannot open today due to a missing delivery truck carrying ingredients. The employee breaks down in tears, explaining her family came to see her first store opening. The group notices magical energy emanating from the store and decides to help find the truck, promising to return for curry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They investigate at the last store the truck visited. The employee there confirms the truck is missing but provides spare ingredients and explains that stores support each other in times of trouble. The group splits into two teams: one to gather ingredients from other stores, and one to trace the truck&#039;s route. During coordination, they learn a second CoCoIchi truck has also gone missing on the same road.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While gathering ingredients, Tsuruno&#039;s group encounters a lost, hungry girl who flees upon hearing CoCoIchi and nearly crashes into Sana. Afterward, Sana realizes the employee at the new store could see her despite her invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s group follows the road where both trucks disappeared and finds a Witch&#039;s barrier. Inside, they find both trucks and their drivers. Iroha and Ui engage the Witch&#039;s familiars while Yachiyo secures the drivers. Iroha realizes the Witch is targeting the cargo, so she throws curry ingredients at it, causing the Witch to abandon the fight and allowing them to defeat it easily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno calls with urgent news that the store employee is a Magical Girl, her missing little sister is also a Magical Girl, and she has not been able to contact her since yesterday. The group fears the curry-loving Witch they just defeated was the sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the new store, where the employee is preparing their reward curry. Before Iroha can confess, a girl rushes in calling for her sister. It is the employee&#039;s little sister, alive and well. The group realizes the Witch was simply a curry-loving Witch unrelated to the sister. They finally sit down to enjoy the promised curry together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui====&lt;br /&gt;
* Meiyui&#039;s family is helping organize a local event when a stranger stabs one of their members and flees, dropping a badge. Meiyui chooses to tend to the victim rather than give chase, despite his protests that she is being too soft.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many in the organization want revenge, but Meiyui refuses, not wanting to return to their old ways as an evil organization. The members are reluctant to involve the police due to being falsely accused of murder three years prior. Meiyui had contracted with Kyubey back then to expose the truth with her wish, but lingering distrust remains.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui goes alone to track the culprit. The dropped badge leads her to an abandoned company tied to illegal labor her family had helped shut down. After defeating a stray Witch, she is ambushed and kidnapped by a man with a taser.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She wakes handcuffed alongside about ten others. The kidnappers reveal the badge was a trap to lure her. They include a former police officer who had fabricated evidence against her family and associates of the real murderer from that case, all blaming the Blue Seas for ruining their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her Soul Gem is heavily tainted from the Witch fight, and she begins hearing her Doppel&#039;s voice. In a cloudy void, her shadow self insists she should have killed these enemies when she had the chance, arguing her organization cannot survive without dirtying their hands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Meiyui struggles to stay conscious, she uses her last energy to beg the culprits to leave her family alone, insisting they are not a bad group. The stabber dismisses her pleas and suggests killing her as a warning instead. Her Doppel mocks her, saying evil people will always exist no matter how sincerely she tries to live righteously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, her organization members arrive to rescue her. The stabbed victim is among them, now grateful Meiyui had stayed to help him instead of chasing revenge. He admits he used to believe abandoning burdens was the way of the world, but facing death alone showed him he was wrong. He is alive because of Meiyui&#039;s strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hearing this, Meiyui&#039;s mind clears. In the void, her Doppel asks if she is ready to kill them, but Meiyui rejects violence entirely. The Doppel submits, allowing her to put everyone in the area to sleep without bloodshed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The police soon arrive after the kidnapper, persuaded by Meiyui, confesses over the phone. They find several family members asleep everywhere and note a look of complete relief on Meiyui&#039;s sleeping face.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Little Bird&#039;s Star====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe and other Black Feathers are in Fendt Hope, commiserating about their weakness. A White Feather had to bail them out after they were followed by a Witch while delivering a parcel from Mitama&#039;s shop. They discuss Yachiyo Nanami, a veteran Magical Girl who destroys Uwasas.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu and Nemu emerge from a room arguing. Nemu dismisses Mifuyu and approaches the Black Feathers with a request. She asks them to investigate the &amp;quot;Uwasa of the Jealous Coward,&amp;quot; also called the &amp;quot;Green-Eyed Coward.&amp;quot; Kuroe hesitates but agrees when Nemu insists she has the aptitude.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group investigates an area with many students but cannot find the Uwasa. The other Black Feathers leave for personal commitments. Kuroe stays, feeling she has nothing to return to. The Uwasa manifests when Kuroe expresses envy toward the other girls&#039; normal lives. Two Black Feathers are knocked unconscious. Nemu is satisfied with the results and tasks Kuroe with investigating more Uwasas starting tomorrow. Kuroe protests but Nemu leaves before she can refuse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1744.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1743.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The Amane twins, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo, meet Kuroe at Fendt Hope and they begin investigating Uwasas in Sakae Ward but find nothing. They move to Hokuyo Ward. Kuroe notices a missing cat poster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They sense Yachiyo&#039;s group nearby and flee. Yachiyo and Iroha corner Kuroe. The twins escape. Yachiyo interrogates Kuroe. An Uwasa resembling Kuroe appears and attacks, then disappears. Yachiyo accuses Kuroe of controlling it. Kuroe insists she had no knowledge of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo decides to take Kuroe camping to monitor her. At the campground, the Amane twins briefly contact Kuroe and say they will consult Nemu, so Kuroe resolves to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe helps Iroha gather firewood. Iroha is scared by a caterpillar and Kuroe removes it. Kuroe introduces herself by name. She helps the group set up their tent and prepare lunch, using skills learned from Wings of Magius training. She reminds herself not to get drawn into their warm atmosphere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mentions a waterfall power spot. Kuroe offers to get water. Iroha accompanies her. They get lost. A woman helps Kuroe find the waterfall and gives her an empty bottle. The woman explains the place is her personal power spot for resetting her mind. Kuroe wishes she had strength to face the future. The Uwasa appears and attacks the woman. Iroha arrives and finds the woman unconscious. Kuroe begs Iroha for help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe carries the unconscious woman back to the campsite. The Amane twins inform her that Nemu says she is possessed by the Uwasa and should stay with Yachiyo&#039;s group. Yachiyo warns that if more casualties occur, she will destroy the Uwasa. Iroha suggests keeping Kuroe for observation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group participates in a stamp rally and Iroha and Kuroe pair up. They discover they are both from Takarazaki. Iroha explains she moved to Kamihama to find her missing sister. Suddenly, a Witch appears and Kuroe and Iroha fight it together. Kuroe acts as a decoy while Iroha defeats the Witch. Kuroe feels inadequate compared to Iroha&#039;s courage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe asks for time alone and she reflects on her fears and envy. The Uwasa appears again, resembling Kuroe. The group fights it and Iroha urges Kuroe to destroy the Uwasa. Kuroe admits she is afraid she cannot be herself, so she and Iroha destroy the Uwasa together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amane twins inform Kuroe they must report the Uwasa&#039;s destruction, yet Kuroe does not regret it. Iroha asks to talk with Kuroe and Yachiyo offers them tea. Kuroe admits she feels safe with the Wings of Magius because they represent hope for her. Iroha accepts this and Kuroe tells Iroha she wants to be like her someday. They part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe finds the missing cat and returns it to its owner, who is overjoyed. Kuroe realizes she saved someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe reports to Nemu and Mifuyu. Nemu reveals the Uwasa summons itself based on dissatisfaction and envy. Nemu admits she expected Yachiyo&#039;s group to handle an accident with the Uwasa. However, Nemu is satisfied that she now has more research on fusing Uwasa with Magical Girls, however Mifuyu warns Nemu not to experiment on the Feathers. Kuroe realizes that even the Magius are imperfect and she reflects on her long day. She resolves to do her best, one step at a time, and hopes to see Iroha again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 7th==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia and Sana decide to buy matching coasters as a gift for Yachiyo, to show their appreciation, and after some searching, they find a suitable set.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 6: The Memories that Speak of the Truth|Chapter 6: The Memories that Speak of the Truth]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 8th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the plan to present the gift is interrupted when Mifuyu Azusa arrives at the villa before Yachiyo returns home. The girls&#039; plan was for Iroha to wait inside while the others came from outside to surprise Yachiyo. Mifuyu prepares tea and reveals one of the two mugs on the top shelf, which Yachiyo forbade Iroha from using, belongs to her. Mifuyu invites Iroha to a lecture hosted by the Wings of the Magius to explain their goal of &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls. The lecture is scheduled for two days later at the Memory Museum and Iroha agrees to investigate the Rumor about the museum first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo returns home and is visibly distressed to find Mifuyu there. Mifuyu leaves, asking Iroha to inform the others about the lecture. Before finally leaving, Mifuyu returns to speak to Yachiyo privately. She references a &amp;quot;promise&amp;quot; they made a year ago, and accuses Yachiyo of returning to her old ways. Yachiyo insists her relationship with Iroha and the others is &amp;quot;just cooperating.&amp;quot; Yachiyo retreats to her room without receiving the coasters. That night, Yachiyo reflects on her past, resolving to return to the person she once was.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 9th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the lecture, Iroha is unable to give Yachiyo the coasters due to Yachiyo&#039;s low spirits. Iroha discusses her plan to attend the Wings of the Magius lecture with Madoka Kaname via text. Iroha then attempts to investigate the Rumor of the Memory Museum. Yachiyo claims no knowledge of it and leaves for school. Iroha and Momoko ask Mitama, who refuses to share information to maintain her neutrality. After the visit, Mitama has a separate conversation with Momoko about Momoko&#039;s own secret, advising her to tell her friends the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede and Rena help Iroha by summoning the creature that recites the Rumor of the Memory Museum, which allows people to view researched memories. Tsuruno&#039;s father provides the location of the similar-sounding &amp;quot;Kamihama Memorial Museum.&amp;quot; That evening, Yachiyo refuses to join the investigation, reiterating that her relationship with the others is strictly professional, which saddens Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Saturday, the 10th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the lecture, Yachiyo again refuses to go to the museum and Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana go to the Kamihama Memorial Museum without her. There, they are greeted by Touka Satomi, who reveals herself as one of the three Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently at Mikazuki, Yachiyo, haunted by memories of past friends, decides she must investigate the Memory Museum herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Touka throne 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka Satomi gives them a lecture titled &amp;quot;The Truth Behind Magical Girls.&amp;quot; She presents three key items through illustrative stories:&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 1: Soul Gems. A story reveals that a Soul Gem is a Magical Girl&#039;s actual soul. Using magic consumes this life force, and if the gem shatters, the Magical Girl dies. Touka uses an analogy of an internal vs. external battery to explain Soul Gems and Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 2: Witches. A second story demonstrates that when a Magical Girl&#039;s Soul Gem becomes fully corrupted, she transforms into a Witch. This revelation traumatizes Felicia, who realizes the Witches she has been killing were once Magical Girls and that she herself is destined to become one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 3: Doppels. A third story explains that in Kamihama City, a fully corrupted Soul Gem can manifest a &amp;quot;Doppel&amp;quot; instead of a Witch. The Wings of the Magius present this as the key to &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls from their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* To prove their claims, Touka and Mifuyu Azusa activate the Memory Museum&#039;s Rumor. Mifuyu presents a book containing her own memories, inviting the group to witness the truth of the lecture firsthand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo arrives at the museum and confronts Touka. She is shown into the memory dimension where Iroha and the others are and Mifuyu activates the Rumor, forcing the group to relive her memories. The memories depict Yachiyo&#039;s former team, Mikazuki Villa:&lt;br /&gt;
** The first memory shows Kanae Yukino sacrificing herself to reveal a Witch&#039;s weakness. Her uninjured body is found next to her shattered Soul Gem, proving the Soul Gem is the Magical Girl&#039;s life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second memory shows Mel Anna using too much magic to protect Yachiyo. With no Grief Seed to purify her fully corrupted Soul Gem, Mel transforms into a Witch before the team&#039;s eyes, confirming Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The third memory shows Mifuyu&#039;s despair six months after Mel&#039;s death, causing her Soul Gem to corrupt fully. Instead of becoming a Witch, she manifests a Doppel. Touka then appears and recruits her into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno is consumed by guilt over Mel&#039;s death, believing her absence that day was the cause. Felicia is horrified, realizing the Witches she killed were Magical Girls and Sana is terrified but feels powerless to change the system. Touka and Mifuyu use this emotional vulnerability to press their recruitment offers to each girl, promising a world where these tragedies are impossible and even suggesting Sana could be freed from her wish of invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo reject the offer to join and Yachiyo compares the Magius&#039; methods to Kyubey&#039;s, accusing them of exploiting weaknesses. Yachiyo then announces she is disbanding their team, which Iroha protests, but Yachiyo insists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka reveals that Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana have been brainwashed and now serve the Wings of the Magius. Alina Gray arrives and traps Iroha and Yachiyo within her Labyrinth and leaves them to face a Witch. As they fight the Witch, Yachiyo reiterates her decision to disband the team and work alone. She reveals her wish was &amp;quot;I want to survive,&amp;quot; and explains that she interprets this as a curse: the power to survive by sacrificing her teammates, based on the last words of her former comrades, Kanae and Mel, who both died while she lived. Yachiyo believes that to protect Iroha, she must sever their partnership.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha rejects Yachiyo&#039;s conclusion. She declares she will defeat the Uwasa alone to prove Yachiyo&#039;s &amp;quot;curse&amp;quot; is not real and that she can protect Yachiyo. Iroha states she is angry that Yachiyo made this decision for everyone and vows to rescue their brainwashed friends. She defeats the Witch and rejects Yachiyo&#039;s belief in a cursed wish and declares herself the new leader to nullify its perceived effect. Yachiyo relents and agrees to work with Iroha to save their friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the same time, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, having detected Mami&#039;s magic while investigating Kamihama, investigate the closed Kamihama Recording Museum. They are attacked by the Wings of the Magius. While Madoka and Homura hold them off, Sayaka proceeds and witnesses Mami, transformed into &amp;quot;Holy Mami,&amp;quot; attacking Iroha and Yachiyo. It is here that Sayaka learns the horrific truth that Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 6: Confrontation with Fate|Another Story Chapter 6: Confrontation with Fate]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, now a brainwashed member of the Wings of the Magius, confronts them. As Iroha and Yachiyo are too injured to fight, Sayaka Miki arrives and intervenes. Sayaka uses a bomb from Homura to create a diversion, allowing the three to escape.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After their escape, Sayaka gives Iroha a Grief Seed. Iroha explains the truth about Witches and the Wings of the Magius to Sayaka, who is horrified. Sayaka leaves to process this information and Iroha and Yachiyo walk home in silence to reflect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After fleeing the museum, Sayaka reunites with Madoka and Homura, defeats their pursuers in a distraught state, and explains what happened to Mami to them, as well as the truth about becoming Witches.The group returns to Mitakihara in silence but Madoka resolves to find a way to avoid their fate and to save Mami. Sayaka agrees to fight back as well and later decides to meet with Kyoko Sakura.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, at Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo reaffirm their commitment to save their friends and Momoko arrives, having told the secret of Magical Girls to Rena and Kaede. Yachiyo also apologizes for her actions and explains her fears about her wish. Momoko forgives her and reaffirms their friendship. Iroha then receives a text from Madoka, who promises to come to Kamihama to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Sayaka meets Kyoko and reveals the truth about Witches. Kyoko deduces this is what the Wings of the Magius meant by &amp;quot;saving&amp;quot; Magical Girls. Kyoko declares she will find a way to avoid becoming a Witch and confront the Wings of the Magius alone, rejecting Sayaka&#039;s offer of help. Despite Sayaka&#039;s protests, Kyoko leaves to operate solo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo has a box containing belongings left behind by her friends Kanae and Mel. She has never opened it. She spends the day staring at it but cannot bring herself to open it. Iroha arrives and asks about the box. Yachiyo explains its contents and admits her hesitation. They remember they need to visit Mitama, so Yachiyo decides to deal with the box later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitairoyachi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s place, the girls offer payment for adjustments. Mitama worries about Yachiyo&#039;s emotional state and suggests she clear up her issues with the box before proceeding. Yachiyo tells her to mind her own business. Mitama offers to adjust both girls together, which is unusual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the adjustment, Yachiyo is confronted by a shadowy doppelganger that represents her fear. The shadow forces her to confront her guilt over Kanae and Mel&#039;s deaths and her fear of the future. Yachiyo admits she is afraid but refuses to give in to despair. She resolves to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The shadow disappears. Iroha appears and stays with Yachiyo. Kanae and Mel appear and bid Yachiyo goodbye, encouraging her to head toward the future. Yachiyo awakens and Mitama reveals she adjusted them together out of concern, for which Yachiyo thanks her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Mikazuki, Yachiyo finally opens the box. Kanae left a book of lyrics. Mel left a fortune telling prophecy about a circle of Magical Girls gathering in Kamihama and a star falling near Yachiyo. Upon reading this, Yachiyo cries. Iroha suggests they head into the future together. Yachiyo agrees, stating they first need to get back Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha resolves to find her lost friends and mentally tells Ui to wait a bit longer. Iroha and Yachiyo finish cleaning their house. Iroha resolves to give the coasters she and the others bought for Yachiyo when everyone is reunited. Iroha says she sent a message to Madoka in Mitakihara City, but hasn&#039;t gotten a response.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 7: The Eve of Awakening to Paradise|Chapter 7: Awakening to Paradise]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Immediately after Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana are taken, Mifuyu reports to Touka and Alina that the brainwashing on the three is holding, so Touka selects Tsuruno for a mission, which Alina states will involve &amp;quot;mass murder.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in her room, Iroha thinks back to when she celebrated Christmas with her friends, but resolves to keep going with her mission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sunday, the 11th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo investigate the Kamihama Rumor Files at Mikazuki Villa. Iroha recognizes some of the Rumors. They meet with Momoko, who mentions Tsuruno&#039;s perfect school attendance record is now broken and that a new amusement park is also opening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo visit Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant and her father reveals Tsuruno and Felicia visited once. Tsuruno told him she found a place where she feels safe and would not return and he notes her expression was blank, similar to how she looked a year ago after Mel&#039;s death. Afterwards, a White Feather ambushes Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will be used for a mission like Tsuruno, and the two fight off the attacker.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Likely on this day, Yachiyo pulls out a box containing what her former friends Kanae Yukino and Mel Anna left behind. She has never opened it since filling it and spends the entire day staring at it, unable to lift the lid. When Iroha arrives and asks about it, Yachiyo explains and admits she is trying to work through her feelings. Iroha offers to help, but Yachiyo deflects, reminding her they were supposed to visit Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls visit Mitama Yakumo and present Grief Seeds as payment for adjustment. Mitama is surprised by the offering and promises to do her best, but she expresses concern about Yachiyo&#039;s emotional state. She suggests Yachiyo clear up her issues with the box before moving forward and offers to adjust both girls at once as a special exception.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Mitama works on her, Yachiyo finds herself in a gray room confronted by a shadowy doppelganger. The shadow accuses her of being afraid of the future and clinging to the past. When Yachiyo refuses to give in to despair, the shadow transforms into her doppel, but she stands firm, accepting her fear while choosing to move forward. Iroha appears beside her, and together they bid farewell to visions of Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo awakens and realizes Mitama adjusted them together intentionally, trusting Iroha could help her if needed. She thanks Mitama for looking out for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at her house, Yachiyo finally opens the box with Iroha beside her. Inside, Kanae left a book of lyrics about becoming a circle with others, and Mel left fortune telling impressions predicting a future where many magical girls would gather in Kamihama. Yachiyo cries as she reads their words. Iroha suggests they head toward that gentle future together. Yachiyo agrees but says first they need to get back their own three points: Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Monday, the 12th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo devise a plan to destroy Rumors across Kamihama to lure out the Wings of the Magius and locate their base. They share this plan with Momoko, who offers to help by getting Grief Seeds for them while they hunt. Momoko then goes to check on Kaede, who is hiding in her room. She hugs Kaede and tells her she and Rena will always be there to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo systematically hunt Rumors like the &amp;quot;Historical Battle Marker,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Castle Town Illusion,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Headless Biker Gang,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Puzzle Tiles Lock,&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;Fashion Monster.&amp;quot; They also interrogate captured Feathers, but none reveal information about Tsuruno, Felicia, or Sana&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Momoko investigates a rapidly spreading rumor about a new amusement park. She notes it originated in the east and spread west through Sakae, Mizuna, and Shinsei Wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha and Yachiyo analyze the Kamihama Rumor Files, marking all known Rumor locations on a map. They identify a pattern: Rumors cluster more densely in Shinsei Ward, with a notable concentration around Satomi Medical Center, the hospital where Ui was supposedly treated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They travel to the hospital area and are ambushed by Feathers. Felicia and Sana, who had broken free of the brainwashing, arrive and help fight off the attackers. The four Magical Girls reunite and Felicia and Sana reveal they pretended to be brainwashed to gather information. Momoko confirms the amusement park rumor spread from east to west and will open at dawn in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Sana explain to Yachiyo and Iroha that Mifuyu used her illusion magic to break their brainwashing. Mifuyu revealed the Magius are protecting and strengthening Witches for their liberation plan and are planning to use the brainwashed Magical Girls to cross a dangerous line. Mifuyu attempted to free Tsuruno but failed, as Tsuruno&#039;s reason for being brainwashed was different. Mifuyu then helped Felicia and Sana escape but chose to remain behind, stating they would be enemies next time they meet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko arrives and shares her investigation into a new Rumor about an amusement park opening at dawn in two days. She confirms it spread from the east, and the group overlays the Rumor locations on a map and identifies a pattern suggesting a source or &amp;quot;eye of the storm&amp;quot; in the eastern wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kanagi screenshot.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo decides to contact Kanagi Izumi, the powerful Magical Girl who controls the eastern Daito and Kosho Wards and is a former rival of hers. Kanagi agrees to an alliance, and during their call, Tsukasa of the Wings of the Magius arrives at Kanagi&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tuesday, the 13th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The morning, Felicia and Sana try to accompany Iroha and Yachiyo but are told to rest due to their collapse the previous night. Iroha and Yachiyo leave them behind. Meanwhile in Kosho Ward, Iroha, Yachiyo, Momoko, and Kanagi meet and Kanagi agrees to ally with them against the Wings of the Magius. They combine their Rumor data on a map, which reveals a circular pattern with a vacant center in Kosho Ward and Kanagi identifies the old railway yard as the likely location of the Wings&#039; base.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After learning the truth about Witches, Madoka questions Kyubey about a way to avoid becoming a Witch. Kyubey states he knows of no method and reveals he cannot enter Kamihama City himself. He proposes an alliance to investigate the Wings of the Magius but Madoka refuses to promise cooperation. She resolves to return to Kamihama with her friends, but then a Witch from Kamihama appears in Mitakihara.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 7: If We Could All Share with Each Other|Another Story Chapter 7: If We Could All Share with Each Other]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura defeat the Kamihama Witch. They share Grief Seeds and note the alarming appearance of foreign Witches in their city. The trio resolves to go to Kamihama the next day to find answers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Around this time, Kyoko successfully infiltrates the Wings of the Magius. She is assigned to a team tasked with dealing with a group that erases Rumors, which she suspects is Iroha&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s group travels to the railway yard but finds it empty. They are ambushed by Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who summon Witches and during the battle, Kanagi uses her unique power to read Iroha&#039;s true intentions and confirms her sincerity. Kanagi then joins the fight and helps defeat the Amane sisters and their Black Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi uses her power on the defeated Amane sisters to read their minds and she learns that Tsuruno is still completely brainwashed and has become part of an Uwasa to protect it. She also learns Tsuruno&#039;s location is at the Ferris Wheel Field in Daito Ward and the group prepares to move out immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Sana and Felicia wait anxiously and Yachiyo calls them with an update.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Rena visits Kaede at her house, and after an argument involving slapping and pinching, Kaede reconciles with Rena and agrees to return to school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team arrives in Daito Ward, where Yachiyo and Iroha plan to enter the &amp;quot;amusement park&amp;quot; Rumor to save Tsuruno, while Felicia, Sana, Momoko, and Kanagi hold off the Wings of the Magius. The group locates the Rumor&#039;s entrance and Kanagi and Momoko stay behind to fight the Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo proceed and confront Alina, Touka, and Mifuyu, where Alina declares her intent to erase them. During the battle, Mifuyu secretly tells Yachiyo that destroying the main Uwasa will kill Tsuruno, and that they must instead tear the Uwasa from her by connecting with her heart. Mifuyu also reveals Tsuruno is in a Ferris wheel car.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101705 uwasatsuruno.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo enter the Rumor, &amp;quot;Chelation Land,&amp;quot; which induces a hazy, thoughtless state. They find Tsuruno, who has fully merged with the Uwasa and acts as the park&#039;s host. Tsuruno tries to force them to relax and stay, serving them hotpot in mugs reminiscent of Mikazuki Villa, but they refuse and attempt to reason with Tsuruno, and she attacks them. Following Mifuyu&#039;s advice, they combine their magic to tear the Uwasa from Tsuruno in one powerful strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nemu02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After Tsuruno is freed from the Uwasa, Yachiyo realizes that Tsuruno&#039;s cheerful demeanor was a facade to hide her pain and guilt over past events, including the death of Mel. The team defeats the main Uwasa of Chelation Land and the Magius, Touka, Nemu Hiiragi, and Alina, confront the group. Nemu reveals she is the &amp;quot;Creator&amp;quot; of all the Rumors in Kamihama and the Magius explain their goal: to use the energy generated by Rumors and Witches to hatch &amp;quot;Embryo Eve,&amp;quot; a being that will liberate all Magical Girls worldwide from the fate of becoming Witches. They state the phenomenon requires the presence of all three Magius and a massive energy source, for which they have used the people of Kamihama and the teams part ways in opposition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Wednesday, the 14th==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101701 coaster02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, at Mikazuki Villa, the team summarizes the Magius&#039; plan and that Kamihama is an incubator for Embryo Eve. They resolve to stop the Magius due to the plan&#039;s high human cost and the group gives Yachiyo the set of sakura blossom-themed coasters as a symbol of their team unity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka are separately attacked by multiple Kamihama Witches in Mitakihara before reuniting. They realize the Witch incursion is a coordinated attack meant to prevent them from leaving Mitakihara. Their magic and Grief Seed reserves are heavily depleted in the constant battles.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the ongoing Witch attacks, the trio is overwhelmed by a powerful Witch and is forced to retreat. Sayaka breaks down, admitting her terror of becoming a Witch and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka share their fears and resolve to face the threat together. They are observed by Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, who imply the attack is part of their plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Fendt Hope, Kyoko, having gained the trust of her unit, is taken on a tour of the Wings of the Magius headquarters by her White Feather superior.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, the three defeat the Feathers sent to observe them, and after interrogating them, they receive a message from Iroha about how to save Mami. Holy Mami arrives to Mitakihara and reveals she brought the Witches to Mitakihara to keep the three of them &amp;quot;safe,&amp;quot; and insists the Magius will save them. Alina Gray also appears and traps Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka in a Barrier, which Mami seals with her ribbons.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her infiltration, Kyoko is taken to Hotel Fenthope by Mifuyu Azusa. She confronts Holy Mami, accusing her of not being the real Mami Tomoe. Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi arrive and reinforce the Rumor brainwashing on Mami. Mifuyu secretly escorts Kyoko away and reveals the Magius&#039; plans: they are using a mysterious entity called &amp;quot;Eve&amp;quot; to liberate Magical Girls and are deliberately bringing Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama to hatch it. Horrified, Kyoko rejects the Magius and is led out of the city by Mifuyu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 8: Once Again From Here|Another Story Chapter 8: Once Again From Here]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko arrives in Mitakihara and frees Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka from Alina&#039;s Barrier. She explains the Magius&#039; plan to bring Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama and Homura urges the group to stay in Mitakihara for safety. Kyoko departs alone, later resolving to return and crush the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Iroha has a sudden memory flashback to the hospital, triggered by the word &amp;quot;sakura.&amp;quot; She remembers a story she, Ui, Touka, and Nemu created about the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot; She deduces this Rumor is real and located at the hospital, and that all the Rumors were created there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Touka and Nemu observe that Embryo Eve has reached a critical state and they confirm that a legendary, cross-dimensional event they foresaw: the arrival of Walpurgisnacht, will provide the final, massive energy surge needed to hatch Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo calls a meeting with the Mikazuki Villa household, Tsuruno, and the Momoko trio to share her concern that rumors persist even after they defeat the Uwasa themselves. The group splits up to investigate whether the original Uwasa have truly vanished or transformed into something new.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hereafter: &amp;quot;The Rumor of the Rumor of the Rumor&amp;quot;|Hereafter: &amp;quot;The Rumor of the Rumor of the Rumor&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko, Kaede, and Rena investigate the Breakup Staircase and find only scattered internet gossip remains. During their search, lingering tensions surface over Rena&#039;s painful memories of when Kaede was kidnapped by that Uwasa, but the trio ultimately reconciles and continues working together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno visit Mizuna Shrine, where the Séance Shrine Uwasa has transformed into a popular spot for relationship prayers with new mascots. They encounter a grieving girl who comes daily to pray for her deceased friend, and Yachiyo is reminded of her own departed companions Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Felicia track down the man behind the revived Misery Water rumor, who confesses he was scammed into buying the water and cannot bring himself to deceive others. Felicia helps him find honest work, and the rumors die out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana investigates an online forum where troubled users make veiled threats, but the rumor fades without incident. Tsuruno and Iroha check Chelation Land, where Tsuruno reflects on her past brainwashing and muses about whether some Uwasa exist independently of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The groups reconvene and report that all investigated rumors have left minimal traces. Yachiyo concludes their investigation of the Uwasa is complete, and only the Wings of Magius themselves remain to be confronted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voices from Beyond, Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the afterlife, Mel Anna meets Kanae Yukino, another Magical Girl ghost who also died fighting a Witch. Mel is thrilled to discover they were both on a team with Yachiyo Nanami and calls Kanae her senpai. Kanae takes Mel to a ghost cafe where deceased Magical Girls gather, explaining they cannot interact with the living world except through psychics.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Voices From Beyond|Voices From Beyond]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they wander Kamihama, Mel notices Witch numbers rising dramatically and worries about Yachiyo. They follow Yachiyo and are relieved to find she has new companions in Iroha Tamaki and others, though they remain concerned about their former teammate Mifuyu&#039;s absence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, they watch helplessly as Yachiyo battles the Wings of Magius and eventually enters the Memory Museum, where she relives the trauma of losing Mel and Kanae. When Yachiyo dissolves her team afterward, convinced her magic causes others to die for her, the ghosts desperately try to reach her. Kanae notices Yachiyo kept their mementos: Mel&#039;s fortune log and Kanae&#039;s notebook. They focus their thoughts on these items, and that night, Yachiyo discovers their messages—Kanae&#039;s lyrics about forming a circle and Mel&#039;s fortune predicting the current events. Grateful, she resolves to move forward. Their successful contact gets their ghost licenses suspended, and they watch Yachiyo&#039;s dream of their encounter before fading.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 15th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius initiate a city-wide offensive, unleashing powerful Witches and sending brainwashed Black and White Feathers to indiscriminately attack other Magical Girls. Mami delivers a declaration of war to Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will no longer delay their plan for &amp;quot;freedom.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 8: Kamihama Painted in Lies|Chapter 8: Kamihama Painted in Fiction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magical Girls of Kamihama form a coordinated response and Yachiyo&#039;s team devises a strategy: first, eliminate the unleashed Witches; second, protect other Magical Girls and direct them to Mitama&#039;s shop as a safe haven; third, deal with the rampaging Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, recalling the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; in Hokuyo Ward, theorizes it could be the location of the Magius&#039; hidden base. Yachiyo approves Iroha and Sana to investigate this lead separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next several hours, the teams execute the plan. Yachiyo rescues Ren from a Black Feather and escorts her to Mitama&#039;s shop. Kaede Afinds Konomi protecting an injured Kako; together they defeat a Witch and get Kako to safety. Rena aids Asuka and Sasara, later teaming with Ria and Manaka to defeat a Witch. Momoko and Aimi rescue Kokoro and Masara from Feathers. Tsuruno works with Hinano to eliminate a Witch and warns her about the Feathers. Felicia fights alongside Akira and Nanaka&#039;s group, eventually reuniting with Tsuruno. Kanagi protects Himika from Feathers and sends her to Mitama&#039;s. Yachiyo and Kanagi also rescue Riko and Ayaka from Feather attacks and track the enemy to a heliport. Yachiyo, Kanagi, Momoko&#039;s team, and Tsuruno&#039;s team successfully clear the city of the powerful Witches and they rescue and guide numerous Magical Girls to Mitama&#039;s shop. Momoko confronts Mitama, challenging her to abandon her neutral stance and Mitama agrees to allow her shop to be used as a headquarters and to share her knowledge about the Magius&#039; plans.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama reveals the truth that Magical Girls are destined to become Witches, and that the Magius aim to use the energy from Embryo Eve to spread the Doppel phenomenon worldwide, preventing this fate. However, their methods involve sacrificing the citizens of Kamihama and other Magical Girls to gather this energy, so the Magical Girls at the shelter decide to join the fight against the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, in Chuo Ward, Yachiyo and Kanagi are ambushed by Mami and a horde of brainwashed Feathers at the Kamihama Central Tower heliport. The battle is difficult due to the Feathers&#039; numbers and Mami&#039;s enhanced power from the Uwasa. Kanagi reads Mami&#039;s mind and finds her personality has been completely overwritten by the Uwasa&#039;s influence, leaving only her devotion to the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia then arrive as reinforcements and during the fight, a Black Feather loses her &amp;quot;Receiver Pendant.&amp;quot; Kanagi reads this Feather&#039;s mind, uncovering that the Feathers&#039; berserk state is caused by the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Receiver Pendant,&amp;quot; which numbs their emotions and forces them to obey the Magius&#039; orders. The memory also reveals the three Magius orchestrating the attack to harvest emotional energy from the chaos, believing it will bring their utopia closer. The Feather who lost her pendant then begins to regain her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team battles the brainwashed Mami and the Wings of the Magius. With the help of Momoko&#039;s team and Kanagi&#039;s ability to read the enemy&#039;s weakness, they remove the Uwasa from Mami, freeing her from its control. Mami collapses from exhaustion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Homura pleads with Madoka and Sayaka not to go to Kamihama, fearing for their lives against Walpurgisnacht. After initial hesitation, Madoka and Sayaka resolve to go and Homura agrees to accompany them. The trio leaves for Kamihama but cannot contact Iroha Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Upon arriving in Kamihama, the three are attacked by brainwashed Black Feathers in Sakae Ward, but the Feathers suddenly regain their senses and flee. The trio pursues them into Central Ward and meets Kanoko Yayoi, Karin Misono, and Natsuki Utsuho. They learn that other Magical Girls are gathering at Mitama Yakumo&#039;s office and Karin reveals she saw Nanaka Tokiwa carrying an unconscious Mami there. The group goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds Mami, who has been freed from the Magius&#039; control and awakens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius then execute their plan: they cause a city-wide blackout and seize control of Kamihama&#039;s radio waves and power grid. They use Nemu&#039;s power to project a false utopia over the city, attracting Witches, and Touka&#039;s power to send a signal that summons the legendary Witch, Walpurgisnacht. Their goal is to use the chaos and emotional energy to hatch &amp;quot;Eve.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana infiltrate the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; Labyrinth, initially having their presence hidden due to Sana&#039;s unique magic. There, Iroha confronts Touka and Nemu, using the Uwasa itself as proof that her memories of their shared past with Ui are real. Despite this, Touka and Nemu don&#039;t believe her and refuse to halt their plans. Alina arrives, captures Iroha, and takes her to their main base, Hotel Fendt Hope. Afterwards, Sana escapes and informs Yachiyo&#039;s arriving team of Iroha&#039;s capture.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Mitama reveals she previously supplied the Wings with Grief Seeds in exchange for neutrality but has now chosen to side with Yachiyo&#039;s team against them. Mami herself awakens, now having reconciled with her inner turmoil. Now, Yachiyo&#039;s team, reinforced by Momoko&#039;s team and Mami, prepares to assault Hotel Fendt Hope to rescue Iroha and stop the Magius before Walpurgisnacht arrives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, freed from the Uwasa&#039;s influence, resolves to expose the Magius&#039; true plans to the Feathers and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka decide to support her instead of joining Iroha&#039;s group. Nanaka and her team escort them to the heliport and during the journey, Mami explains to Nanaka that the Feathers&#039; loyalty was placed not in the Magius themselves, but in Mifuyu Azusa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 9: Take My Hand|Another Story Chapter 9: Take My Hand]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the heliport, Mami arrives where the exhausted Feathers and Kamihama Magical Girls are at a stalemate. She reveals the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice hundreds of civilians, including the Feathers&#039; own friends and family, to Walpurgisnacht. She also details their previous use of the Chelation Land Rumor for a similar purpose and the Feathers are shocked and dismayed. Some even accuse Mami of hypocrisy, which she does not deny.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Feathers split into two factions: one that still desires liberation at any cost and another that vows to protect Kamihama. A fight breaks out between them and Madoka and the others defend Mami, declaring their unwavering friendship. Moved, Mami asks the Feathers if they have anyone they trust unconditionally, as she now does, and the Feathers state they trust Mifuyu and demand to hear the truth from her directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami entrusts the Feathers to Nanaka&#039;s team, while she, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka then proceed to Hotel Fendthope to aid Iroha. On the way, Mami thanks her friends and asks them to rely on her as an equal ally and friend, not as a veteran. They arrive at the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Mitama is guarding the entrance. She confirms she is aware of Mami&#039;s past struggles and allows the group to pass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 16th==&lt;br /&gt;
* At Hotel Fendt Hope, Sana infiltrates the hotel to find Iroha and she overhears Feathers discussing Iroha&#039;s location and heads there. Iroha is held in a cell and, with her Soul Gem confiscated, she reflects on her memories of Ui, Touka, and Nemu and resolves to stop the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their plans and Alina demands Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem and body be brought to her. A weather report at the same time indicates the approach of Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana locates Iroha&#039;s cell, and she breaks Iroha out, but the act of breaking the cell door triggers an Uwasa, as the entire building is part of a Rumor. Sana defeats the Uwasa and as they flee, they are ambushed by Black Feathers. Kyoko Sakura, who was undergoing an orientation with the Feathers but decided against joining them, intervenes and helps defeat the attackers as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha explains the Magius&#039; goal is to summon Walpurgisnacht, and Kyoko reveals the Magius also plan to use Iroha, Mifuyu, and the Amane sisters as nourishment for &amp;quot;Eve,&amp;quot; the core of the system. Suddenly, Iroha collapses and stops breathing due to the distance from her Soul Gem. A Black Feather who pretended to be unconscious seizes Iroha&#039;s body and escapes with it, and Sana and Kyoko give chase.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team enters the Hotel Fendt Hope through the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth and they split into two teams: Yachiyo&#039;s group heads to the top floor to rescue Mifuyu and the Amane sisters, while Momoko&#039;s group searches for Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team finds Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa unconscious, their bodies separated from their Soul Gems. They quickly recover the Soul Gems, reviving the three, and Mifuyu confirms the Magius summoned Walpurgisnacht to provide energy to hatch Eve. Mifuyu and the Amane sisters renounce the Magius and join Yachiyo&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Iroha is transported by a Black Feather who reveals her motivation: her younger sister turned into a Witch, and she supports the Magius to prevent others from suffering the same fate. Momoko&#039;s team intercepts them and rescues Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko and Sana fight their way through the hotel and reunite with the main group. Momoko&#039;s team recovers a bag containing Iroha&#039;s, Mifuyu&#039;s, and the Amane sisters&#039; Soul Gems. A group of Feathers from the East confronts them but is persuaded by Kanagi to stand down, and they retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the teams reunited, the full coalition of Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, Kanagi, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Kyoko regroups. They possess all the stolen Soul Gems and are united in their goal to stop the Magius and confront Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team&#039;s path to the underground chapel is blocked and Mifuyu determines the magical building, a Rumor crafted by Nemu Hiiragi, has been reconfigured. Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa attempt to break the blockade, but a powerful magical wind erupts, separating the group. Mifuyu, the Amane sisters, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, and Kyoko are blown outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, Sana, Felicia, Tsuruno, and Kanagi remain inside and they defeat an Uwasa that attacks them. Mifuyu communicates from outside that they are locked out, and she devises a new plan: her group will gather other Kamihama Magical Girls to attack and destroy the Uwasa of Hotel Fendt Hope itself, which will collapse the building. She instructs Yachiyo&#039;s group to hurry to the underground chapel for safety before the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu&#039;s group fights off Witches released by Alina Gray as a defense measure. Mami, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka also arrive and assist them. After the battle, Mami convinces Mifuyu to address all the Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, and using the Amane sisters&#039; sound magic, Mifuyu broadcasts a telepathic message across Kamihama, revealing the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice civilians and summon Walpurgisnacht. She urges the Feathers to lay down their arms and prepare to fight the legendary Witch. Many Feathers also heed her call and defect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami then uses her magic to create a small opening in the building&#039;s barrier and enters Hotel Fendt Hope alone to rejoin Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kyoko is noted to be absent. Yachiyo&#039;s team searches for the entrance to the underground chapel and Mami reveals she concealed the entrance with her magic. She severs the ribbon hiding the path, officially breaking her ties with the Wings of the Magius and Mami then leaves to assist with the attack on the Uwasa of Fendt Hope outside. Kyoko meets Mami along the way and gives her a Grief Seed before they both exit the building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team then encounters false copies of Touka, Nemu, and Alina from the Mirror Witch&#039;s barrier; they realize the fakes speak differently and defeat them before continuing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, Mifuyu&#039;s group, now joined by Mami, Kyoko, and the Feathers who defected, attacks the Uwasa of Fendt Hope. Despite a coordinated assault, the Uwasa proves extremely resilient and withstands their combined power. The battle continues as the city-wide weather disaster escalates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team proceeds down a long staircase into a deep, dark underground area filled with strong magical impurities. Along the way, they are confronted by Mirror copies of themselves that voice their deepest insecurities, but each member overcomes their own doubts by relying on their friends. In the underground chapel, they find Alina, Nemu, and Touka waiting for them. At the back of the chapel, they see the massive, unhatched form of the Witch known as Embryo Eve. They reveal the full scope of their plan. They explain that Kyubey&#039;s true mission is to harvest the emotional energy of Magical Girls to counteract the universe&#039;s heat death. The cycle of hope and despair, culminating in a Magical Girl&#039;s transformation into a Witch, produces the necessary energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius intend to usurp this system. They plan to use the phase transition energy from Eve&#039;s transformation into a full Witch to create a permanent forcefield over Kamihama. This field would allow Magical Girls to release their impurities as Doppels instead of becoming Witches, and the energy would be fed back to the universe, making Kyubey and new Magical Girl contracts obsolete. The imminent arrival of Walpurgisnacht is a key part of their plan, as its destruction by Eve will provide the massive energy required.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Despite understanding the plan, Iroha and her team refuse to accept the Magius&#039; methods or their control over the future. The Magius argue that without their plan, Walpurgisnacht will destroy the city regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 2.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, the battle against the Uwasa of Fendt Hope continues. Realizing they are losing, Mifuyu uses a dangerous self-illusion to unleash all her magic at once in a final attack. She destroys the Uwasa but becomes incapacitated in the process as her Soul Gem starts breaking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the chapel, the destruction of the Uwasa causes Fendt Hope&#039;s Labyrinth to collapse, and the chapel is exposed to the outside as the building disappears. After the collapse of Hotel Fendt Hope, the teams reunite in the forest as the Labyrinth vanishes. Yachiyo learns that Mifuyu was severely injured destroying the Uwasa and was taken to Mitama for treatment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius appear with Embryo Eve, now freed from the chapel, and they prepare to fully release Eve so it can devour the approaching Walpurgisnacht. A battle ensues as the teams try to stop them and Iroha and Sana break through the defensive line of Familiars to attack Eve directly. Iroha&#039;s attack on Eve fails and Eve captures Iroha but does not harm her. A bright light emanates from Iroha, allowing Sana to rescue her. Sana reveals she possesses a branch from the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, which was not in bloom when she received it. The branch suddenly blossoms after Iroha touches Eve and Iroha realizes that Embryo Eve is her missing sister, Ui Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana confront Embryo Eve on Takayama Mountain and Iroha believes Eve is her sister, Ui Tamaki, but Eve breaks free from the mountain and begins to move toward Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream|Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama City, Walpurgisnacht approaches from the sea, accompanied by a massive horde of Familiars that begin to swarm the city. Magical Girl teams led by Hinano Miyako and Nanaka Tokiwa engage the Familiars along the coast to prevent widespread destruction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the ruins of Hotel Fendt Hope, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo bring the injured Mifuyu to Mitama Yakumo for emergency aid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Takayama Mountain, Iroha pleads with the combined Magical Girl forces not to kill Eve, revealing her belief that it is Ui. The Magius leaders and Alina retreat. Eve leaps into the sky, heading for Sankyo Ward in Kamihama. Yachiyo Nanami&#039;s team prepares to pursue Eve, while Madoka Kaname&#039;s group from Mitakihara heads to the coast to help defend against Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Magius headquarters, Touka and Nemu dismiss Iroha&#039;s claims about Ui, despite Nemu&#039;s private suspicions. Alina expresses interest in Iroha&#039;s memories but remains focused on Eve&#039;s hatching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Eve&#039;s arrival in Sankyo Ward, Mitama informs Iroha and the team that Ui&#039;s true body and Soul Gem are contained within Embryo Eve, which is a &amp;quot;Half-Witch.&amp;quot; To save Ui, they must defeat Eve&#039;s manifested form without destroying the Soul Gem and Mitama identifies a large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest as the core that maintains its form and its weak point. Mitama also treats the comatose Mifuyu, whose Soul Gem is critically cracked from overuse. Mitama stabilizes it but cannot fully heal her, and Tsukuyo and Tsukasa decide to rejoin the fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Eve rampages through Sankyo Ward, the combined Magical Girl teams attack Eve but find their assaults completely ineffective. Mitama, the Amane sisters, and other groups like Hinano Miyako&#039;s team regroup and they decide to consolidate their forces: one group will focus on defeating Eve, while the other prepares for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s landfall.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia readies her hammer and strikes Eve on the head with a magic‑powered blow, using her memory‑obliterating ability to confuse Eve and halt its advance; in the aftermath of the strike, a strange glow is visible near Eve&#039;s belly. Meanwhile, the Amane sisters relay the critical intelligence about Eve&#039;s red jewel weak point to Yachiyo&#039;s team. Eve begins to move toward Chuo Ward, and Sana proposes a plan to immobilize Eve so the team can target its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, the combined forces of Yachiyo&#039;s team, the Amane sisters, and other White Feathers execute a plan to immobilize Embryo Eve. They use chains from Sana&#039;s shield, spears, and plants to bind Eve to a large building and Iroha successfully strikes the large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest, its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eve retaliates by absorbing a massive vortex of impurities its Familiars had collected, causing its body to mutate and merge with the jewel. Iroha then sees a vision of Ui trapped within the core, reaffirming her resolve to save her, but the Magius arrive to protect Eve and ensure it consumes Walpurgisnacht. Iroha declares her intent to enter the gem to save Ui directly, and despite being severely injured, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia hold off the Magius, creating an opening for Iroha to advance toward Eve&#039;s core.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:10-19.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha reaches Ui&#039;s body but cannot shatter the gem surrounding it completely. Touka arrives at her side, and questions her motives. Iroha declares Ui is her sister and a precious friend to Touka and Nemu, and as Iroha reaches for Ui, the Embryo Eve attacks and Lil&#039; Kyubey intervenes and blocks the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu experience a flood of memories, recalling the original events. She remembers seeing Iroha with Kyubey in a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, learning about Magical Girls, and devising a plan with Ui and Nemu to usurp Kyubey&#039;s powers to create an automatic purification system and save all Magical Girls. Their plan failed when Ui&#039;s &amp;quot;harvest&amp;quot; ability went haywire upon her transformation, forcing Nemu to sever Ui&#039;s soul from her body and store it within the de-powered, small Kyubey to prevent her from becoming a Witch. This act erased Ui from the world&#039;s memory, as well as any traces of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Regaining their memories, Touka uses her stored energy to destabilize the Embryo Eve and Nemu uses her stories to restrain it. Iroha shatters Eve&#039;s central gem, and the small Kyubey releases Ui&#039;s soul. Ui awakens and reassures Touka and Nemu that she does not blame them for their shared decision. The Embryo Eve, now soulless, begins to decay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined Magical Girl forces, including Mami, Kyoko, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura, continue their battle against Walpurgisnacht in Chuo Ward. Despite their numbers, the Witch proves immensely powerful and resilient.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102304 mikage desire.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, a massive explosion of light and energy erupts from the location of the decaying Embryo Eve. The Eve has transformed into a new, stable form, and Touka deduces that Alina, who had previously shrunk the anti-Kyubey forcefield to contain the city&#039;s energy, has now wrapped that forcefield tightly around Eve. This action stabilized Eve&#039;s energy and prevented its decay, allowing Alina to control it as a tool for her art. Alina appears, now fused with an Uwasa in a manner similar to [[Holy Mami]], and declares her intent to use Eve to create her ultimate masterpiece, disregarding the goal of Magical Girl liberation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, as this is taking place, [[Mikage Yakumo]], Mitama&#039;s younger sister, is approached by Kyubey when the Barrier disappears. After he explains Mitama&#039;s wish to her, Mikage makes a wish of her own to undo the effects of Mitama&#039;s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 2: Smiles and Fireworks|Arc 2, Chapter 2]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Holy Alina]] asserts that humanity subconsciously desires destruction and that she will use the Embryo Eve to fulfill this wish as her ultimate artwork. Kanagi confronts her own past desire to destroy the city due to its history of conflict but ultimately rejects Alina&#039;s path as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 nemu uwasa.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu, as the creator of Alina&#039;s Uwasa, takes responsibility. She uses the last of her life force to summon every Uwasa recorded in her book to attack Alina directly. The attack defeats Alina, making her disappear, but Nemu collapses, severely weakened and unable to move her legs, so White Feathers evacuate her to safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 eve user1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Embryo Eve, now uncontrolled, begins to rampage and targets Ui, attempting to reabsorb her. Lil&#039; Kyubey implies a solution: it will take Ui&#039;s place within Eve. Touka realizes that the small Kyubey, which contains Ui&#039;s former soul and Kyubey&#039;s original functions, possesses similar attributes to Eve. It is also incapable of becoming a Witch. Lil&#039; Kyubey merges with the Embryo Eve, causing it to release all orbs of light from its body, lading in different parts of Kamihama. The small Kyubey thus becomes the core of the &amp;quot;Automatic Purification System&amp;quot; that Touka, Ui, and Nemu originally envisioned, preventing Magical Girls from becoming Witches within Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival, the combined forces of Magical Girls, including the various teams from Kamihama and the team from Mitakihara, are on the verge of defeat. Homura and the others exhaust their weapons and energy in a desperate attempt to defeat it. They are exhausted, out of Grief Seeds, many are incapacitated, and despite their injuries and depleted resources, the girls refuse to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Last Magia|The Last Magia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Walpurgisnacht prepares a massive attack that seems certain to annihilate them, an unknown, benevolent force envelops the Magical Girls. Iroha hears a mysterious voice and sees white feathers raining down, an experience shared by everyone on the battlefield. They all experience a sudden surge of energy and a feeling of being urged forward. This voice is from the Law of Cycles, who had been watching the timeline but not interfering with it. The feathers rejuvenate the group, lifting their spirits and empowering them to continue fighting; their strength is restored, and even the injured find themselves able to fight again. With morale returned, they rally together for one final, united assault, redirecting Walpurgisnacht to Kaihin Park using a coordinated strategy with their unique magical abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined forces of Magical Girls coordinate their unique magics to combat Walpurgisnacht: &lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Natsuki Utsuho initiate the counterattack by using their Encouragement and Cheering magic to boost the morale and power of all allies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seizing this surge of energy, the team implements a complex strategy to control the battlefield. First, Felicia, Meiyui Chun, and Rika Ayano use their Memory Erasure, Persuasion, and Mind-Altering magic to disorient Walpurgisnacht and force it to change course toward the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** To precisely guide the Witch to the intended battleground, Tsuruno, Riko Chiaki, and Emiri Kisaki then use their Good Luck, Luring, and Charm magic, successfully leading Walpurgisnacht to the beachfront park while evading its attacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Once there, the focus shifts to immobilizing the colossal foe. Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Asuka Tatsuki use their Flute Blossom Resonance and Action Control magic in an attempt to halt Walpurgisnacht&#039;s movement entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When it retaliates, Himika Mao diverts its attacks, creating an opening for Kanagi Izumi, who, with a power boost from Mitama&#039;s Coordination, attacks it directly to stun it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** This creates the crucial opening for a full restraint, and Mami, Kanoko Yayoi, and Kaede use Ribbon Binding, Stitching, and Plant magic to ensnare the Witch, which Rena amplified by using her Transformation magic to transform into Kaede and double the restraining power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Walpurgisnacht finally immobilized, Nanaka organizes their forces while Hazuki Yusa and Akira Shinobu identify its weak point with their magic, a gear connected to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire group then launch a coordinated, all-out assault, with offensive magics like Hinano Miyako&#039;s Chemical Explosions leading the charge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout the final attack, Kokoro Awane, Ayame Mikuri, and Konoha Shizumi provide vital defense with their Wall Creation, Safeguarding, and Fog Generation magic, protecting the assault team and ensuring their united strike could land.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Realizing their combined assault was not enough to deliver a final blow, the Magical Girls regroup and to ensure they could act as one perfect unit, Reira Ibuki uses her Purifying Flame to heal their wounds and replenish their energy, while Mito Aino uses her Heart-Linking magic to synchronize their hearts and minds, allowing their resolve to become perfectly aligned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With their spirits united, they form a new strategy and Konomi Haruna uses her magic to force their Fighting Spirit to Bloom, amplifying their collective potential, while Kako Natsume uses her Event Reproduction magic to reinforce the gathered energy, and Ren Isuzu enacts her Nirvana magic to ensure the attack would bring permanent rest to the Witch if successful.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The plan to create a final weapon then commences. Ui uses her Harvest magic to gather the hope and magical energy from every single Magical Girl on the battlefield. She passes this immense energy to Touka, who used her Conversion magic to condense it all into a single, concentrated mass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* This mass of collective hope is then entrusted to Yachiyo, whose unique magic of Inheritance allows her to embody and control the power. She and Iroha shape this energy into a gigantic, radiant arrow aimed at the weak point that had been identified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they prepared to fire, Walpurgisnacht launches an attack to free itself from their binds. In that moment, Homura activates her Time-Stop, and touches Iroha, allowing her to move within the suspended time and take aim unimpeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the path clear, Iroha releases the arrow and strikes the central gear with overwhelming force. As time resumed, the arrow consumed Walpurgisnacht in a brilliant explosion, finally ending the calamity and clearing the sky over Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102005 magicalgirl3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura reflects that she has finally surpassed this battle after countless timelines, and Madoka expresses relief that no more people will suffer from Walpurgisnacht. The girls in Kamihama also celebrate their hard-earned victory, despite the fact that many are injured and exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Epilogue==&lt;br /&gt;
* Some days after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, Iroha and Ui see their parents off at the airport as they leave for their overseas assignment. Iroha and Ui then return to Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama City, where Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana welcome them back. Mifuyu is also present, as Iroha was able to use her magic to repair Mifuyu&#039;s damaged Soul Gem, allowing her to recover. Later that day, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Kanagi, and Mitama visit Mikazuki Villa as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, [[Ultimate Madoka]], a being who identifies as a record-keeper of all universes reflects on the new timeline centered on Kamihama. She states she intervened one last time by sending a &amp;quot;rain of feathers&amp;quot; to empower the Magical Girls but will now only observe, fearing further direct interference could damage this fragile new reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu organize a meeting for all Magical Girls involved in the recent conflict to discuss the actions of the Wings of the Magius and the future fate of all Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu visit the Eternal Sakura. The Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura congratulates them on finally being together as friends and Nemu, who now uses a wheelchair, accepts her condition as a consequence of her past actions. Iroha briefly wonders about the whereabouts of the small Kyubey that once accompanied her, and then meet Lil&#039; Kyubey in the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After some days, Homura reflects on their victory. Despite saving Madoka and defeating Walpurgisnacht, she feels uncertain. The fundamental curse of Magical Girls becoming Witches remains, and she questions if this timeline is truly the best outcome. At school, Mami informs the group about recent disappearances and people getting lost, which they attribute to a new Witch. They devise a plan to track it by mapping the incidents. Kyoko arrives from Kazamino, also hunting the same Witch, and a tense alliance forms.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 10: The Place We Finally Reached|Another Story Chapter 10: The Place We Finally Reached]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group splits into teams to search the area Mami identified. Madoka notices Homura&#039;s preoccupation and reassures her. The teams locate the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and coordinate their attack. During the battle, Homura fears for her friends&#039; safety, but they work together effectively. Kyoko and Sayaka create an opening for Mami and Madoka to deliver the final blow, while Homura evacuates the Witch-Kissed civilians.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Kyoko gives the Grief Seed to Mami and Sayaka declares she has no regrets about becoming a Magical Girl, valuing the power to protect and the friends she has made. This prompts Mami to reconcile with Kyoko, asking to be true friends who help each other when needed again, to which Kyoko agrees. Madoka then states she is also glad she became a Magical Girl, expressing faith in the future because of her friends. This resolve causes Homura to weep with joy, finally believing this timeline, where they face their fate together, could be the one she sought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group, including Kyoko, shares a meal at a pancake restaurant. They discuss an upcoming meeting in Kamihama to address the Magius&#039; actions. While Kyoko opts not to attend, the others plan to update her later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 04 00 0042 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One Saturday, Mami volunteers to help clean the damage done by the Magius incident and Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura go along as well. During it, a Witch attacks and a Magical Girl they were helping unleashes a Doppel. They defeat the Witch and the girl falls unconscious, so Mami takes her to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale|Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After stabilizing her, Mami asks Mitama to help her face her own Doppel and she guides Mami to look within. Mami meets her Doppel and it tries to convince her to forget the past, yet Mami refuses and proclaims that she accepts the Doppel as part of herself. Mami then wakes up, thanking everyone and says they will build the future together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cherry Blossom Dreams===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, the Eternal Sakura completed her duties as an Uwasa when her tree came into full bloom. Her Rumor was rewritten and she was connected to Touka&#039;s server, reborn as an Uwasa with ample knowledge who would later be named Sakurako. Around this time, Yachiyo received a message asking what should be done about the six ringleaders of the Magius—Touka Satomi, Nemu Hiiragi, Mifuyu Azusa, Mitama Yakumo, Tsukuyo Amane, and Tsukasa Amane. Nemu proposed rewriting the Eternal Sakura to serve as an impartial judge. They designed three trials: the first to analyze crimes and calculate a verdict, the second to survey all Magical Girls, and the third to reach a final decision based on responses. Punishments ranged from monitoring to destruction of the Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams|Cherry Blossom Dreams]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the first trial, Sakurako sentenced Touka and Nemu to the maximum penalty. Mifuyu received power revocation, reduced from maximum due to testimony that she helped destroy Fendt Hope. Mitama received conditional power revocation, allowed to transform only for Coordinator work. The Amane sisters received power restriction. After the trial, Touka and Nemu remained calm, thanking everyone. Yachiyo noted they had intentionally omitted their ages from consideration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Nemu and Sakurako wait at a train station with others. Nearby girls whisper about Nemu, recognizing her as one of the Magius and questioning why she faces no punishment. Ui argues with Iroha about using the Stardust Time Viewer, while Touka pushes through the crowd, disheveled from navigating the train alone. The three girls reunite, each feeling it is a dream. Touka sends Ui a photo of the map they created together in the hospital. The group travels to the mall, where Ui finally visits the croquette shop she always wanted to try, and they share plates to taste each other&#039;s orders. From there, they take a rickshaw to Mizuna Shrine, where they briefly encounter Tsukuyo and Tsukasa, who quickly hurry away. The group buys prayer plaques, though most hesitate at the cost until a shrine attendant suggests writing prayers on the back of their fortunes instead. Iroha wishes for all Magical Girls to get along, while Touka and Nemu write their own wishes. They argue over where to go next—Touka wants a lookout point in Hokuyo Ward, but Ui resists rushing. Sakurako suggests they also face reality, so they head to Central Ward, still scarred from Walpurgisnacht and Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui admits she used the library as an excuse to bring them here, hoping the Stardust Time Viewer would show them a hopeful future. Nemu summons the Rumor, transporting them to a star-filled space. The Viewer shows Iroha&#039;s future: a world where the Doppel system has expanded globally and all Magical Girls coexist peacefully. Iroha feels embarrassed, but Sakurako assures her the wish is beautiful. When Ui asks to see her own future, the Viewer has nothing to show. Ui realizes this means Touka and Nemu are absent from Iroha&#039;s future and accuses them of planning to die. The vision fades, returning them to the rubble of Central Ward. Touka and Nemu admit they believe they should die for their crimes, pointing to the destruction around them, the Feathers they manipulated, and the innocent people hurt. Sakurako confirms she knew this all along. Ui slaps them both, demanding they consider how she feels. Nemu explains they wanted to do what they could while they still had time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second trial begins. No surveys have arrived. Sakurako agrees to wait one hour. Yachiyo and others leave to retrieve them. Mifuyu confronts Touka and Nemu, asking if they sabotaged the surveys. They admit they did, altering the date so the surveys would not arrive in time. They wanted to be judged and sentenced to death to spare Ui from the hatred directed at them. Ui refuses to accept this. She and Iroha transform to protect them. The hour ends and Sakurako moves to deliver punishment. Iroha and Ui hold her back as Mifuyu and Mitama join the defense. The Amane sisters attack Sakurako with their flutes, accepting heavier sentences. Iroha realizes they can use photos of the surveys as evidence. Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s phones begin chiming with images from Yachiyo and the others. Iroha begs Sakurako to accept the evidence. Sakurako confirms the surveys are real and delays the trial, requiring them to arrive by day&#039;s end. The surveys show Magical Girls believe Touka and Nemu should be punished, but not killed. Some suggest atonement, rehabilitation, or mentorship. Reading the responses, Touka and Nemu weep, but Ui weeps with joy. Based on the surveys, sentences are reduced. Touka and Nemu receive monitoring with transformation-prevention bracelets, while Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s sentences are reduced to monitoring. The Amane sisters are found not guilty and Feathers who revealed themselves have their cases dismissed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the group gathers. Touka and Nemu wear their bracelets. Sakurako serves drinks. Mifuyu asks about tutoring Touka in exchange for help with pharmacy school. Nemu will rely on Sakurako for mobility on difficult days. Tsuruno suggests welcoming them as the Brains of Kamihama. In the kitchen, Sakurako hugs Touka and Nemu, then Iroha and Ui. She tells them she loves them. The days she always dreamed of have arrived. The real spring can finally begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocolatier in Mirror Country===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro, Masara, Konomi, Asuka and Sasara gather at Manaka&#039;s place to plan their charity bazaar booth. Kokoro and Masara participate to help Himika&#039;s family without making it obvious, while Asuka and Sasara join to invite a lonely girl named Chi whose father died. Konomi&#039;s booth was invited directly due to her popular Valentine&#039;s bouquets. They agree on a collaboration between Walnuts and Blossom the florist, dividing tasks among themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Warming Valentine ~Until your thoughts reach you~|Warming Valentine ~Until your thoughts reach you~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Manaka&#039;s father&#039;s help, Kokoro and Masara make bear-shaped chocolates. Asuka recruits dojo volunteers, Sasara invites Chi and designs leaflets, and Konomi prepares bouquets with Izayoi&#039;s help decorating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the bazaar, adults receive bouquets with donation and children get free chocolates. Chi and her mother visit happily. Himika initially refuses chocolate but accepts after realizing her siblings want it, and they enjoy the day together. The event succeeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later at a celebration party, Sasara and Kokoro feel their efforts changed nothing. Masara scolds them for impatience, explaining kindness takes time. Kanagi and Asuka arrive with good news that Himika&#039;s family is making White Day gifts, and Chi&#039;s mother now calls daily. Relieved, they enjoy the party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Valentine&#039;s Day, girls give chocolates to loved ones. Sasara gives to her father, Asuka to her cousin, and Konomi to her aunt. Masara and Kokoro exchange chocolates at their favorite spot, and Kokoro tearfully reconciles with her parents. Elsewhere, Rena and Tsukuyo each struggle to give chocolates to Kaede and Tsukasa. Following a rumor, they separately pray at a radio tower, accidentally encounter each other, and successfully give their chocolates when Kaede and Tsukasa also arrive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, in Mitakihara, Nagisa bakes a chocolate cake with Mami while feeling that something is wrong, as her memories feel hazy and she seems more childish than she should be. She realizes her memories of being longtime friends with Mami are false, yet she recognizes that the warmth she feels is what she has always wanted. When they finish the cake, a Witch that looks like a younger version of Nagisa steals it, and they chase it into a mirror, finding themselves in a transformed version of the Mirror Witch&#039;s Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Chocolatier in Mirror Country|Chocolatier in Mirror Country / The Mirror World Chocolatier]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They encounter Madoka and Homura trapped in a time loop illusion, free them, and learn that Sayaka and Kyoko went ahead and are now missing. They find Sayaka and Kyoko trapped in a competition for a magical cake, so Mami and Nagisa enter and win by choosing a song they both know well. Using the cake&#039;s wishes, they reunite the group and defeat the attacking Witch. Nagisa realizes she has two sets of memories and deduces the chocolate-loving Witch is an alternate version of herself who wished for chocolate cake instead of cheesecake. This Witch has been consuming the Labyrinth&#039;s power and attracting Witches from parallel worlds through mirror gates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The little Witch steals the cake again, and during the chase, Nagisa and Mami become separated in a dark fog. A poem warns them not to open their eyes or they will lose each other, but Nagisa&#039;s self-doubt overwhelms her. Remembering losing her mother and everyone else, she convinces herself Mami is not really there, opens her eyes, and is consumed by the Witch. The group fights through countless gates to find her and engages the master Witch. Inside, Mami finds Nagisa, hugs her tightly, and promises they will always be friends because of the future they will share, not false memories. Nagisa finally believes her, and the cake is returned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group realizes that even with the master Witch defeated, other Witches have taken its place, so they must clear them all to restore the Labyrinth. They commit to finishing the job together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Labyrinth is cleared, they gather at Mami&#039;s apartment for a chocolate party where Nagisa officially gives Mami the cake. They play poker with chocolate coins to decide how to share the remaining half, and Mami wins, but she divides the cake equally among all six. Everyone agrees it is the best cake in the universe. Nagisa thanks Mami, and Mami welcomes her warmly, calling her a little chocolatier and a lovely new addition to their circle of friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Kamihama, that night, Tsukuyo finds Rena praying at the Chuo Ward radio tower, having both read an online article claiming that twenty minutes of prayer there ensures successful apologies to loved ones. Tsukuyo confesses she hurt her twin sister Tsukasa by rejecting their Valentine&#039;s plans after failing at homemade chocolate, while Rena admits she snapped at Kaede and claimed she had no chocolate for her after Kaede had given her some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The 14th Day Where I Can&#039;t Be Honest|The 14th Day Where I Can&#039;t Be Honest]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their conversation is interrupted when Tsukasa and Kaede suddenly appear, having anticipated their partners would come here to apologize. Tsukasa assures Tsukuyo she was not upset and would treasure any chocolate from her, urging her to be easier on herself. Kaede forgives Rena and asks simply for her to be more honest. Together, the two pairs exchange Valentine&#039;s wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany===&lt;br /&gt;
* Walpurgisnacht&#039;s attack on Kamihama City caused massive damage to Chuo Ward, which the public believes was a natural disaster. Only Magical Girls know the truth and privately, Mitama reflects that the victory gave her hope, but she wonders if the destruction she once wished for can be defied.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany|The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0008 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after Walpurgisnacht, Mitama realizes Doyle has not visited her shop and the last saw him the day before Walpurgisnacht. She assumes the storm made him too scared to go out, so she decides to close her shop and search for him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama looks around the vacant land near her shop and a girl named Ritsumi offers to help. Ritsumi’s cat Arthur ran away before, so she knows where cats hide. They search but find nothing and Ritsumi says Arthur now lives with her grandpa. Mitama realizes Ritsumi is the daughter of the neighbor who owns Arthur and Mitama had mistaken Arthur for Doyle and that Ritsumi has never actually seen Doyle. They end the day without clues and Mitama sends a message to the Magical Girls’ group chat asking if anyone has seen a white tabby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama knocks on the neighbor’s door and Ritsumi’s mother answers. She explains that Arthur was sent away two weeks ago to Ritsumi’s grandpa. Mitama realizes that no one knows where Doyle came from. Ritsumi’s mother promises to keep an eye out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana, Asuka, and others from Mizuna Girls’ Academy saw Mitama’s group chat post and they arrive to help. More volunteers soon arrive: Kaede, Kako, Rena, Konoha’s team, and others. They split up to cover Shinsei Ward and Mitama notes that no one else has ever seen Doyle. Konoha says she never saw a cat at Mitama’s shop. Rena also asks for a photo, but Mitama has none.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds Ritsumi near the bus stop and they search door to door. No one in the neighborhood has seen a white tabby kitten either. Ritsumi says she has read all “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” books and that her favorite is “Invisible Epiphany,” about a detective searching for a lost child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko meets Mitama alone. Momoko says she never saw Doyle and neither did Tsukasa or the other girls. Mitama remembers talking to Doyle in front of them, but they saw no cat ither. Momoko suggests a Rumor is involved, as all Rumors disappeared after the fight with the Magius, except the Eternal Sakura. Coincidentally, Doyle disappeared at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls Nemu, who is still in the hospital and Nemu explains that Doyle was part of the Rumor of the Cat Detective. The Rumor possesses detective novel lovers, detects signs of a case, gets the detective involved, and guarantees a solution. Nemu explains she erased almost all Rumors, including this one. Mitama thinks Doyle disappeared because the Rumor was destroyed and she had solved four cases with Doyle’s help, yet the fifth never began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama re-reads her case files and each one has an opening paragraph she does not remember writing. The first case file hints at Hanna Sarasa. The second hints at Tsukasa. The third and fourth also name the culprits. Mitama realizes Doyle left those hints, and Nemu says the Rumor did not cause incidents, only detected them, so those incidents would have happened anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0009 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Kamihama slowly returns to order. Mitama notes that she cannot rely on Doyle anymore and she hopes she does not get any new cases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui and the Eternal Sakura visit Mitama to deliver a lampshade from Yachiyo. Ui says a girl from her school has gone missing and Mitama is shocked to learn the girl is Ritsumi, who did not come home after school yesterday and the police are investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama goes to the bus stop near her shop and finds Ritsumi’s mother. The mother says Ritsumi likely went to Hokuyo Ward to see her grandpa and Arthur. Ritsumi’s parents are separated and her father lives with his parents in Hokuyo Ward. The mother believes Ritsumi wanted to visit them, but the bus route to Hokuyo was suspended after the disaster but has resumed, bypassing Chuo Ward. Soon, Himika calls Mitama. Himika saw a girl matching Ritsumi’s description waiting at the Shinsei Ward bus stop yesterday, reading a book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi arrive and Momoko explains she has been investigating at school. Ritsumi transferred to Kamihama University Affiliated School six months ago after her parents separated and she moved into the building next to Mitama’s shop. Momoko explains Arthur went to live with her father in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo Ward. Mitama realizes the conflicting information: Arthur was first in Chuo Ward, then evacuated to the grandpa’s house in Hokuyo after the disaster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Satomi Medical Center, Nemu discusses the case with Eternal Sakura. Nemu recalls the hidden hints in Mitama’s case files. The last words of each hint spell “Lost Through Time Eternal,” which is the title of volume 12 of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” In that story, a girl runs away to her old home. Nemu deduces that Ritsumi went to her old apartment in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo. She likely got off at the nearest bus stop and walked into the restricted zone, then she had an accident.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Momoko, and Kanagi search the area near the old apartment and they hear a voice. Ritsumi had fallen into an old underground passage and sprained her ankle. She lost track of time and had no phone. Mitama explains she remembered the Doyle book and Ritsumi admits she was copying the girl in the story as she wanted to see the area where she grew up. The three quickly rescue her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ritsumi is taken to a hospital and also discharged quickly. Her parents agree to let her visit both of them and Arthur whenever she likes. Mitama reflects that Doyle gave her confidence and the city she cursed is still standing, so she dares to believe in hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Momoko finally holds the Coordinator Thank-You Party that was postponed earlier and Rena and Kaede thank Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui reads &amp;quot;The Happy Prince&amp;quot; and reflects on her uncertain purpose as a Magical Girl. While walking, she stops Kyubey from contracting a girl outside Kamihama, explaining she cannot let anyone else suffer the fate of becoming a Witch. When Kyubey asks what he should do instead, she has no answer. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia tells Ui she is overthinking things and should focus on her upcoming combat test. Iroha and Yachiyo serve dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight|A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno gives Ui an enthusiastic pep talk for her live combat test. To remain in Kamihama, Ui must detect and eliminate a Witch alone—the same test Yachiyo gave Iroha when she first arrived. Yachiyo admits the test may be unfair and offers to let Ui choose a partner. With Iroha busy helping Kanagi, Ui chooses Momoko. They depart together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui struggles to sense the Witch&#039;s magic, so they search Mizuna Ward where young women gather. They encounter a Familiar and follow it to a Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After defeating it, Felicia suddenly appears, attacks them, and runs away. Tsuruno gives chase and tackles her. Felicia&#039;s oblivion magic has erased their memory of the Familiar&#039;s pattern, so they cannot track the Witch. Momoko requests a pause, but Yachiyo refuses, stating unexpected events happen in real combat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia admits she interfered because she is jealous that Ui receives everyone&#039;s attention while she struggled alone as a mercenary. Yachiyo explains that Felicia&#039;s past does not justify making others unhappy. Meanwhile, Ui cheers up after eating crepes with Momoko and resolves to continue. As sunset approaches, they search Sakae Ward but find nothing. Yachiyo offers to bring a Familiar for them to retrack, but it disappears before they arrive. Ui suggests checking Hokuyo Ward on a hunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Hokuyo Ward, Ui senses a different Witch&#039;s magical reaction. They follow Witch-kissed people up a mountain toward a labyrinth. At Yachiyo&#039;s house, the others realize Ui failed the test since Yachiyo had to eliminate the original Witch herself, though Yachiyo will allow a retake. They notice Felicia smiling and suspect she interfered again. Rena confesses she helped Felicia erase the hint because she understood Felicia&#039;s jealousy. Tsuruno says the only person who deserves an apology is Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the mountain, Ui and Momoko enter the Witch&#039;s barrier against Momoko&#039;s better judgment. They fight through Familiars but become trapped and cannot escape. The Witch overwhelms them. Yachiyo and the others arrive and join the fight, but Familiars overwhelm them too. Iroha arrives at the last moment to defend Ui. Ui proposes using her ability to harvest impurities, purifying everyone&#039;s Soul Gems so they can fight at full strength. She will temporarily become a Witch, but the Doppel system will contain it. She absorbs the impurities, and the others destroy the Witch while Ui struggles with the darkness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui unleashes her Doppel and meets her Doppel self, who accuses her of wanting punishment and being jealous of others while trapped in the hospital. Ui nearly agrees to let the Doppel consume her but refuses, recognizing it as the easy way out. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words about taking responsibility and confronting the situation honestly. She accepts her wrongs and her true feelings, realizing this difficult path will bring true happiness. The Doppel admits she is right. Iroha wakes Ui at Mitama&#039;s clinic, where she has been unconscious for some time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama checks on Ui after her first Doppel release. Felicia apologizes for her interference and says she thinks Ui is cool. Rena also apologizes for helping Felicia. Ui accepts their apologies and compliments them both, asking Felicia to teach her things. Rena and Felicia feel terrible for how they treated someone so kind. Later that evening at Yachiyo&#039;s house, everyone celebrates Ui passing her test—though she did not defeat the assigned Witch, she tracked a Witch, stayed calm, used her intelligence, and performed better than expected. Ui tells Iroha she now knows what she wants to do as a Magical Girl. Iroha decides to work with other Kamihama Magical Girls to find a way to free them all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui and Iroha encounter Kyubey outside Kamihama attempting another contract and stop him. Kyubey asks what their goal is. They explain they plan to fight and find a way to coexist with Kyubey—if they can expand Kamihama&#039;s miracle globally, Magical Girls can live happily while providing the energy Kyubey needs. Kyubey welcomes the idea if it avoids conflict but warns that Magical Girls worldwide are not as unified as those in Kamihama. Ui wonders how much happiness she can give to the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tart / Darc Magica===&lt;br /&gt;
* Through Minou&#039;s spell from 15th-century France, Ui is pulled into the past, with her phone acting as her Soul Gem and Blank Prophecy, with the power to restore the past&#039;s real history.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rebel of a Dawnless Land|Rebel of a Dawnless Land]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning from the past, Ui finds herself in an antique store, still surrounded by magic bubbles though no memory of what occured. On the floor are the two candles and the old book. She feels they are important but cannot remember why, so she puts them on store shelves before falling asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui wakes up at Mikazuki Villa. Her phone rings with a text of Nemu asking if she knows any charms, as Mitama has been really into them lately. Ui says she knows a charm for good dreams requiring red and blue candles. Nemu asks where she heard about it and Ui isn&#039;t sure but says it was in 15th-century France. Nemu is fascinated and promises to research it. Later, Ui scrolls through her phone and finds a photo she doesn&#039;t recognize with girls she doesn&#039;t know. She begins crying without understanding why and Iroha finds her and hugs her tightly. Suddenly Ui remembers Darc&#039;s final words. She turns to her sister and tells her, &amp;quot;Let&#039;s have a wonderful future together.&amp;quot; Iroha agrees. Ui calms down and heads home to prepare for a slumber party with Nemu and Touka. Iroha, running errands, decides to stop by Mitama&#039;s place afterward. Mitama greets her warmly, mentioning she just learned an interesting little charm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That day, Iroha visits Mitama, who gives her and Yachiyo antique candles for a sweet dream spell. That night, they light the candles and drift off to sleep together, where they&#039;re pulled into the nightmare of Jeanne d&#039;Arc in April 29th, 1429.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Maiden of Hope|The Maiden of Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next morning, Yachiyo reveals she had the same dream. They call Mitama, who is surprised they had nightmares instead of sweet dreams. They decide to try the candles again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Kamihama plunged into darkness and all non-Magical Girls vanished. Their Soul Gems have consumed magic in the real world despite no injuries. Realizing the dream affects reality, they decide to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a lot of fighting, they awaken and prepare for the final battle. In this journey they discover that they&#039;d been traveling to Darc&#039;s dream, and if Darc despairs completely, she will turn into a Witch and trigger a catastrophe affecting the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Felicia and Sana gone and Kamihama empty. Breaking into Mitama&#039;s shop, they find a grimoire revealing the candles were made with Darc&#039;s hair, creating a connection to her dream. They return with the book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They finally awaken at Mikazuki Villa to sunshine and normalcy. Felicia demands steak for dinner. Consulting a history book, they read that on May 7th, 1429, Jeanne d&#039;Arc fought at Tourelles after waking from a dream. The battle was fierce but Orléans was liberated. Iroha notices a portrait in the book showing them in their Magical Girl outfits standing beside Jeanne d&#039;Arc.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at Mitama&#039;s shop, Yachiyo recounts everything. Mitama mentions the spell became widespread in France during Jeanne d&#039;Arc&#039;s era. Iroha realizes Melissa must have spread it after learning it from them in the dream. The use of red and blue candles was too specific to be coincidence. Iroha&#039;s head spins trying to figure out where the spell originated. Yachiyo notes the grimoire never mentioned the candle setup, so the spell just circled around and around. They will never know for certain whether they changed history or were always part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* During their slumber party, Ui, Touka, and Nemu encounter a massive witch, [[Crépuscule de La Reine]]. Touka and Nemu vanish, leaving Ui and Sakurako to face it alone. The witch is unaffected by their attacks and disappears, taking Ui with it into 15th-century France once more, this time in the realm of Purgatory which Minou created. With Pernelle&#039;s help, Ui is soon able to also summon Iroha and Yachiyo there as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;endofalegendthelimitsoflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - End of a Legend, the Limits of Light|End of a Legend, the Limits of Light]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Lil&#039; Kyubey and Ui&#039;s phone as the Blank Prophecy are pulled as &amp;quot;If Factors&amp;quot; into the world of Holy Maiden Academy, which Minou created and maintained for six hundred years after being given a Philosopher&#039;s Stone after Isabeau&#039;s death. However, after her plans are thwarted by the &amp;quot;what if&amp;quot; version of Melissa, he returns and wakes in the real world, where Iroha and Ui assure him it was just a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;counc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Masked Student Council Strikes Back|The Masked Student Council Strikes Back]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Voices from Beyond, Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a year after Voices from Beyond, Part 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With peace restored in Kamihama, Yachiyo visits a flower shop to buy flowers for Mel&#039;s grave, still haunted by never defeating Mel&#039;s Witch. She unexpectedly encounters Mifuyu and Mel&#039;s mother, who reassures them Mel was happy because of their love. Walking toward the cemetery, Yachiyo and Mifuyu are engulfed by the barrier of the Witch Etteilla—Mel&#039;s Witch. They struggle against both the Witch and their own fears: Mifuyu fears defeating it means forgetting Mel, while Yachiyo fears losing anyone else. Remembering the ghosts&#039; encouragement, Yachiyo convinces Mifuyu they must move forward because Mel and Kanae wanted them to. They defeat the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mel&#039;s grave, they place flowers and the Grief Seed from the Witch, hoping her soul has finally found peace. They silently promise to keep moving forward. Mifuyu wonders if Mel&#039;s Witch appeared to give them a push, and they smile, repeating Mel&#039;s favorite phrase: all things happen when they must. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to see the belongings Mel and Kanae left behind, and Mifuyu gladly accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One weekend, Rui ropes Seira into attending Kamiket, a convention for sharing and selling fan-made media in Kamihama. The two became close friends after discovering they are both Magical Girls, and because Seira is the only one who knows about Rui&#039;s embarrassing secret: a heavy case of chuuni-byo. Rui agreed to bring Seira on the condition that only the two of them would go, ensuring nobody else discovered her secret.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!|I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the day of the convention, Rui cannot contain her excitement and slips into character, declaring the convention her sanctuary and the catalog guidebook as Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Her main objective is to purchase the newest installment of her favorite indie game series and meet its creator, MacQueen. On the way to the booth, she accidentally bumps into a stranger who seems irritated about someone not being at the convention yet. When she arrives, the booth attendants inform her that someone has been using counterfeit money, and worse, MacQueen himself is missing. Rui&#039;s imagination immediately conjures a grand conspiracy, but the criminal is soon caught and MacQueen calls to say he overslept. Relieved, Rui takes a photo with the booth girls, but as the picture is taken, chills run down her spine as she senses someone glaring at her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rui dismisses it as her imagination and continues exploring with Seira. Remembering the booth numbers hit by counterfeit money, she realizes they spell the chemical formula for Ricin, a lethal poison. Her imagination ignites again, convincing her that the real attack will come through poisoned food from outside vendors. She rushes them outside to stop the attack, but everyone seems fine, and her Magical Girl ability, which lets her see how close someone is to death, reveals nobody is in danger. Ashamed, she realizes her imagination finally got the best of her and apologizes to Seira. They decide to get lunch, and Rui opens her laptop to install her new game. The screen is black, and in the reflection she sees her own face. Her magic reveals she herself is now close to death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Remembering the chills from earlier, Rui checks the photo and finds the man from earlier glaring at her in the background. She rushes back to the booth to warn the girls, who recognize the man as Miranda, a popular content creator. As they discuss this, MacQueen finally arrives, and Rui sees he is the closest to death&#039;s door, with Miranda also marked. She confronts Miranda, who confesses he intended to kill MacQueen over an alternate ending in the latest game that suggested his favorite sub-heroine may have had a former lover. He pulls out a gun he secretly printed with a smuggled 3D printer. Just as he is about to shoot, Rui shows him a cutscene on her laptop, which is the second part of the alternate ending, unlocked only after clearing the entire game, revealing the sub-heroine fabricated the story to protect the user character. Miranda realizes his mistake and surrenders to security. After the incident, Seira asks if Rui was scared. Rui reveals she always wears chainmail under her clothes and also carried a heavy blunt object for protection, the magically enhanced Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Seira decides to pretend she did not hear that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 11:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura writes in her diary as she and her friends take an air-conditioned express train to the beach for summer vacation. They buy ice cream and enjoy the ride.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Beachside Bonds|Beachside Bonds]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls arrive at their destination, a seaside inn run by Sayaka&#039;s relatives who had a sudden cancellation. Sayaka complains about the heat as they walk to the inn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Sayaka&#039;s aunt shows them to their rooms and warns them not to get lost in the surrounding forest. Outside, two young girls who live at the inn approach Madoka. They ask if she knows someone named Kei, who is looking for someone named Yu. They warn Madoka not to talk to Kei and that she should hold still if Kei enters her room. The girls then leave. Homura suggests Kei might be a cat. They agree to tell the others as Kyoko passes by already in her swimsuit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, the girls play volleyball. Mami spikes the ball hard and hits Homura in the face. They stop the game and Mami frets over Homura. Madoka suggests they rest in the shade while Mami buys something cold. Madoka then suggests they collect pine cones from nearby trees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the forest, a cat appears and leads them deeper into the trees. It guides them to a small shrine, where Homura finds an old notebook. She reads entries from April 20, June 24, August 3, and August 6, all detailing the author&#039;s complicated feelings for someone named Kei. Madoka tells her to put it back without reading further. When they turn around, the cat is gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the beach, Sayaka shares a rumor from the beach house: a girl fell off a nearby cliff years ago and died, and her spirit is reportedly seen rising from the ocean between two and three a.m. Mami shrieks in fear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Kyoko teases Mami about being scared. The conversation turns to ghosts and Kyoko compares them to how normal people might perceive Witches. Madoka feels relieved and tells Sayaka about the twin girls. Sayaka plans to ask them about any pets later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After an Italian dinner, the girls light fireworks on the beach. Kyoko bumps into Hinano Miyako, who doesn&#039;t recognize her but does recognize her Soul Gem ring. Ren Isuzu finds Hinano, followed by Emiri Kisaki and Rika Ayano. The groups combine for fireworks. Emiri admits she used a little magic to help everyone relax, explaining why Kyoko had strange memories of Mami. Kyoko chases Sayaka around the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Heading back to the inn, Sayaka finds her twin cousins lining up stones. They claim the stones protect against Kei entering. They say Kei would hate Sayaka the most because she is nosy, then leave. In her diary, Homura writes that the girls talked until they all fell asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 12&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura&#039;s diary entry describes a dream belonging to someone else. In the dream, the narrator waits for her friend Yusa Yumeno, who arrives with popsicles. The narrator complains that Yusa doesn&#039;t need to come every day, but Yusa insists she can only be her real self around her friend. The narrator believes identity is shaped by others&#039; perceptions. She reveals she may not take college exams due to family obligations and urges Yusa to attend her chosen school, comparing herself to a weed and Yusa to a flower growing in a different direction. The narrator comes home to another hateful letter from classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes in a cold sweat, unable to move. The room smells strongly of seaweed. She sees a pitch-black human shadow sitting between Mami and Sayaka&#039;s futons. It examines their faces, grumbling &amp;quot;wrong, wrong, all wrong.&amp;quot; As it moves toward Madoka, Homura struggles to move. The shadow stops and stares at her, asking &amp;quot;You can see me?&amp;quot; Homura screams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others wake. Sayaka notices the strange smell. Kyoko goes back to sleep. Mami offers water and Homura asks if someone entered the room. They saw no one. Sayaka apologizes for the scary stories. Mami suggests thinking about tomorrow&#039;s fun. Madoka offers to hold Homura&#039;s hand, which she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes early, the ocean scent still strong. She finds the twin girls outside. They ask if she met Kei. Homura asks what Kei is. The girls explain Kei looks like a human made of shadow without facial features, smells of the sea, and emerges from the ocean at night to look for her friend Yu. They repeat that she should do nothing and never talk to her. They notice their protective stones scattered and go to reline them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura suspects this might be a Rumor. She returns to the forest shrine and finds the notebook on the shrine&#039;s lattice door, despite having placed it underneath. She reads entries from May 2, May 20, June 12, and June 26, all detailing the author Yu&#039;s complicated, obsessive feelings for Kei. She replaces the notebook, feeling guilty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Homura recalls more diary entries: July 2 describes Yu placing hands on Kei&#039;s neck as if to strangle her; July 5 compares Kei&#039;s neck to a lizard she killed; July 15 describes Kei now finding Yu after school; July 20 states they should never have met and that both wear bandages to hide bruises on their necks. Madoka points out a small bruise on Homura&#039;s neck.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls begin walking to an aquarium along the coast. Kyoko complains about the distance and suggests fishing instead. Sayaka refuses, traumatized by a recent fishing tournament incident in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the aquarium, they eat fish burgers, marvel at jellyfish, and watch a dolphin and seal show. They leave at sunset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls walk to a cape to watch the sunset. Sayaka warns them not to get too close to the edge, referencing the girl who died. Homura smells flowers and Mami identifies night-blooming jasmine nearby. The scent reminds Homura of her dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recalls another diary entry: August 1 describes Yu feeling happy hearing Kei&#039;s wish despite blaming herself; August 12 states their plan is set for tomorrow, with Yu hoping something will make Kei reconsider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the cape, Kyoko admits feeling down because a cape is the end of the road with nothing after. Mami says it&#039;s more important they could talk again like they used to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary about the difference between the self you know and the self others perceive. She asks Madoka what kind of person she thinks Homura is. Madoka calls her a dear friend who works hard. Homura worries that revealing her time-traveling truth would change this perception. After dinner, the girls settle in for sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 13:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura dreams again of Kei and Yu. Kei calls out that the promised day is here. She has dressed up and brought a ribbon to tie them together. Yu questions if this is right. Kei insists her life belongs only to Yu. They vow: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; They promise to kill each other for every reincarnation as proof of who they are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A voice calls Homura to wake. She awakens to find Madoka standing with eyes closed, enveloped in shadow. Madoka snaps her eyes open and proclaims repeatedly &amp;quot;I got in.&amp;quot; She calls out for Yu, saying the promised day is finally here. Madoka runs into the forest toward the cliff. Homura chases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the cape, everything grows dark. Madoka, possessed by Kei&#039;s spirit, tells Homura that the drowned Chinese girl&#039;s body washed up here and she is looking for her father&#039;s ship. Homura urges her to chase after the girl to escape, but Kei claims Homura will kill her as soon as they leave. Homura transforms and attempts to freeze time but finds her magic has no effect in this place where time does not flow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren&#039;s voice calls out. She informs Homura that the others are searching for them, but only Ren could traverse into this abyss. Ren suggests this might be similar to her own magic rather than a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kei admits she tried possessing Homura but could not, so she settled for Madoka. She explains she is a faint memory staining the cliffside. The drowned girl&#039;s spirit helped her recall all her memories clearly. She describes how she and Yu bound themselves together and jumped into the ocean, but the waves pulled them apart. Kei died; Yu survived. Kei wants to kill Yu so they can kill each other throughout eternity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura refuses to stay in the abyss with Madoka. Kei transforms Madoka into her magical girl state and attacks. Ren blocks the blow and tries to use her magic to draw out the possession. Homura calls out the vow Kei and Yu made, distracting Kei. Ren attempts her magic but the ghost of the drowned Chinese girl deflects it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren realizes the ghost girl is not a girl but the root cause: the Witch Paola. The barrier forms and Homura fights the Witch alone while Ren hurries to catch up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier dissipates and Homura faces the possessed Madoka on the cape. Kei accuses Homura of killing her. Homura tells her to shut up and leave their lives alone. Kei explains she will soon fade if Yu is not there. She begs Homura to kill Yu if she ever meets her, before her soul breaks and she becomes like the Witch. She begs Homura to keep this promise no matter where they meet or how many worlds Homura visits. Kei then relinquishes Madoka&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren arrives, relieved they are safe. Madoka wakes with no memory, thinking she simply tossed and turned. The other girls find them and celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary, describing the events as too strange to comprehend. She reflects on Kyubey&#039;s use of the term &amp;quot;soul&amp;quot; and questions what a soul truly is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka sighs that even on vacation they dealt with a Witch. Kyoko thinks she&#039;s getting rusty. Mami suggests Homura was right about a Witch mixing with a Rumor. Madoka telepathically tells them to quiet down since Homura is asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her final dream, Homura sees Yu wake in a hospital on an unknown date. Kei died. Their bruises were dismissed. Yu returned to school where others used her grief as their own. Unable to bear going on without Kei, she nearly threw herself off the cliff again. All she holds onto is their final words: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; But if the Yu that died that day is gone, who is the girl writing now? An image of Kyubey flashes on the screen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Deep in the dream, Homura recalls Kei&#039;s plea on the cliff. But Homura never agreed or promised anything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===SamaTore!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko wakes to find Mitama and Ui standing over her, learning they were washed ashore and rescue will arrive in two days. Mitama assigns tasks: shelter, bamboo, water, plants, and fishing. Before Kyoko leaves, Mitama asks her to transform, revealing she adjusted Kyoko&#039;s Soul Gem while she was unconscious to give her a Magical Girl swimsuit that allows her to swim. Mitama promises the transformation is reversible but looks forlorn, warning that if Kyoko does not have fun on the island, she might forget how to undo it. Kyoko reluctantly agrees to cooperate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story SamaTore! The Summer Treasure that Disappeared into the Fire|SamaTore! The Summer Treasure that Disappeared into the Fire]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko discovers she can swim and catches plenty of fish. While gathering firewood, she finds a piece of wood with the words &amp;quot;water&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;bottom&amp;quot; written on it and tosses it onto the pile. Back at camp, Mitama and Karin show her a treasure map they found. Mitama has built a large shelter, and Karin started a fire using skills from a manga. Kyoko helps Kanagi and Ui carry supplies back from the stream. When Mitama offers to cook, Kyoko and Kanagi immediately stop her. Kyoko distracts Mitama with the treasure map and cooks dinner instead, with Ui&#039;s help. The group enjoys the meal together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 2 on the deserted island and Mitama decides they will go treasure hunting. The group examines the map and the wooden tablet Kyoko unknowingly gathered for firewood, which tells of a fallen warrior&#039;s treasure hidden on the island. They follow directions to a clearing but find nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui falls into a pitfall, and Karin follows. Kyoko pulls them out with a vine, and they discover another tablet at the bottom. Kyoko realizes the piece of wood she threw into the campfire was likely one of the tablets, but she keeps quiet, hoping to make the group give up without upsetting Mitama. Mitama triggers a trap and is caught hanging from a tree. The group frees her, but everyone wants to continue despite Kyoko&#039;s warnings. Kyoko claims they are being followed, hoping to blame the missing tablet on someone else, but the stalker turns out to be a tabby kitten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group reaches a damaged clue they cannot read. Mitama deduces the final location is the waterfall, but they find nothing. Mitama stares at Kyoko, suggesting the tablet might have been lost. Kyoko panics internally. She blasts part of the riverbed, revealing a hidden underwater path she remembered from the burned tablet&#039;s words. Kanagi scouts and reports a cave at the end. Karin and Ui stay behind while Kyoko, Mitama, and Kanagi swim through using guide vines.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the cave, they endure swarms of mosquitoes until Mitama drives them away. At the back, they find a treasure box. Kyoko opens it carefully. Inside is a letter revealing the treasure hunt was a promotional stunt for the Sayu-Sayu Mizuna Tourism Project, abandoned due to mosquitoes and safety concerns. They left a paper with Sayu-Sayu&#039;s sword designs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko hides the truth and leads the group to a cliff with a stunning sunset view. Everyone agrees it is a rare treasure. Kyoko admits she burned one of the tablets for firewood. Mitama apologizes for pressuring her and promises to change her back. The group returns late at night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, the helicopter arrives. Iroha calls down to them. As they prepare to leave, the kitten runs off, and the group chases it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few weeks later. Sayuki, Ria, Mayu, her manager, and producer arrive on the same island to film a special. They find the bamboo house and campfire remains. The kitten appears, followed by Kyoko chasing it. Ui and Karin catch up, and Karin recognizes Sayuki as Sayu-Sayu. Kyoko realizes this is the idol behind the fake treasure hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Kanagi, and Iroha arrive. Sayuki greets Mitama warmly. Telepathically, Kyoko warns Mitama about Sayuki&#039;s connection to the treasure hunt. Mitama cryptically tells her to leave it. Karin and Ui want to stay and watch the filming. Sayuki offers to let them return on her boat. She explains her special involves a survival quiz using the Kaigiri sword. Ui and Karin are excited. Mitama and Kyoko exchange a look, hoping to preserve Ui&#039;s good memories without revealing the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Filming begins. They cheer from the sidelines. Later, they all pile onto the boat together, many exhausted and falling asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Late July before summer vacation, Ui and Sakurako go shopping. Ui buys a picture diary and mentions wanting to swim with fish in a place like the Dragon Palace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium! ~ Entrust Your Memories to the Tamatebako|Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium! ~ Entrust Your Memories to the Tamatebako / Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium ~The Memories Entrusted in the Treasure Casket~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Sakurako consults Ryo, then works with Touka, Nemu, Ryo, and Ikumi to build the Uwasa Aquarium, Dragon Palace within her Rumor, incorporating elements for everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the aquarium event, Touka and Nemu guide Iroha, Ui, Yachiyo, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia to the space. Everyone enjoys swimming, themed attractions, and food tailored to their interests. Sakurako warns them never to open the Treasure Casket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia opens the box, releasing a malice entity that takes Sakura&#039;s form. Normal attacks fail. The group cheers, empowering Sakurako to destroy it. Ryo reveals they planned this interactive show.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end, Sakurako creates cherry blossom petals despite being told not to overexert herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sakurako wakes in Iroha&#039;s room after collapsing from magic overexertion. Nemu and Touka explain Uwasa can die. Ui tearfully asks her to take better care. Sakurako promises to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Iroha suggests a beach trip. Touka, Nemu, and Ui enthusiastically plan it. Sakurako notices the aquarium has been forgotten in their conversation and grows quiet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day Sakurako returns to the empty aquarium. Reflecting on Nemu&#039;s words, she spirals into fear that she will die, be forgotten, and disappear. She hides.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha searches for her. Ryo and Ikumi arrive later. Ryo senses she is there and uses a tactic, claiming he will stop looking and eventually forget her. Sakurako emerges crying, begging not to be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo shows her Ui&#039;s picture diary, which dedicates many pages to the aquarium day. Sakurako realizes memories are what she can leave behind and agrees to return home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Sakurako returns and explains she now understands that as long as memories remain, she will not be forgotten. She asks to host the aquarium again for more Magical Girls. With promises to monitor her health and using Shizuku&#039;s teleportation to hide the location, the others agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, various Magical Girls arrive and enjoy the aquarium. Rena notices the Treasure Casket. Sakurako explains it contains stored memories she hopes someone will vividly recall when she is gone, so she will not be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kamihama in a Circle===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren arrive in a new ward, with Rika frustrated about oversleeping. They notice another Magical Girl nearby. Elsewhere, Konomi arrives alone while Kako declines to participate due to her team&#039;s policy. Manaka scolds Ria for being late because of her hair. Masara, Kokoro, and Aimi gather at a park, with Kokoro convincing Masara to participate. Reira, Mito, and Seika discuss the upcoming gathering of Magical Girls who have fought together before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Kamihama in a Circle|Kamihama in a Circle]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo finish chores that had been delayed by Felicia&#039;s laundry mishap. They reflect on everything that has happened since Iroha came to Kamihama searching for Ui—the investigations, battles with the Wings of Magius, the automatic purification system, and the truth about Witches spreading. Despite the chaos, things have begun to settle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo rush to the park, worried about being late. Tsuruno meets them and playfully scolds them before carrying them the rest of the way. Iroha reflects on meeting Tsuruno while investigating Uwasas, and how their bonds grew stronger through battling together. She notes that everyone at Mikazuki Villa has decided to support one another.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group stops at a convenience store. Felicia appears, having visited Ayame first. Konoha and Hazuki are not coming to the gathering, but Yachiyo notes they have helped in the past. Felicia asks for chocolate. Iroha reflects on first meeting Felicia when she was a violent mercenary, and how living together has changed them both. She notes that Yachiyo has cared for Felicia more than anyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group takes a shortcut through a back alley. They find Sana hiding, having spotted Kaede&#039;s cat Gorojiro. Sana explains she was patrolling for dangerous Magical Girls while staying hidden. Iroha thanks her but assures her she can relax today. They invite her to join them. Iroha reflects on sympathizing with Sana&#039;s isolation and how Mikazuki Villa became an important place for them all. Yachiyo notes that Sana, once invisible to everyone but Magical Girls, is gradually finding her place in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui, Touka, and Nemu meet the group. They have visited their old hospital to update the doctors and nurses who cared for them. Touka discusses her research on connecting universes, admitting practical application remains difficult but the possibility exists. Iroha reflects on how it still feels like a dream to see the three of them together. Yachiyo notes that while their past methods were wrong, their purpose of liberating Magical Girls was not, and that purpose continues now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, Rena, and Kaede join them, having stopped at a retro arcade where they won a stuffed animal together despite their usual arguing. Touka reveals a small possibility for connecting universes has been found, using the Endless Mirrors. Iroha reflects on first meeting Momoko and Kaede, and now sharing lunches with Rena. Yachiyo notes the three have strong bonds as a team and helped convince other Magical Girls after the truth about witches spread.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama joins, having taken a break from her shop to visit Kanagi. Tsuruno asks about using Mirrors to connect to other universes. Mitama confirms she and Kanagi have accompanied Touka and Nemu into the Mirrors. Nemu explains they were only experimenting with precautions. Touka insists she has plans if things go wrong. Mitama notes Mirrors has become more complex and will need more entrances. Iroha reflects on meeting Kanagi relatively recently and how they now work together despite past rivalry. She also thinks of Mitama&#039;s help and her surprising wish, but notes the city is moving forward. She wants to hold hands with more people and form a circle together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** From a distance, Iroha and Yachiyo watch Magical Girls gathering at the park. Felicia attempts to cure Iroha&#039;s nerves by hitting her, claiming Tsuruno said it would help. Tsuruno quickly corrects her. Hinano arrives, reporting on her task regarding Alina. Karin, who attends school with Alina, explains Alina is still missing and she does not know where she is. Iroha promises they will find her together. Mifuyu arrives with the Amane twins, apologizing for being late. Yachiyo thanks Mifuyu. Iroha reflects that a new step is beginning. Yachiyo notes her story started moving when Mifuyu disappeared, while Iroha&#039;s began with strange dreams. They have connected with so many Magical Girls. One chapter has ended and a new one is about to begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha addresses the gathered Magical Girls, thanking them for coming. She reflects on fighting together against powerful Witches and sharing knowledge about their fate. Yachiyo notes they started from individual concerns, fought Uwasas and the Wings of Magius, and gained something greater in return. Their purpose is now the same as their former enemies: the liberation of Magical Girls. They seek coexistence with Kyubey without sacrificing themselves. Iroha acknowledges not everyone could participate, but all have agreed to help each other. Yachiyo admits skepticism is natural. Iroha declares that by expanding the automatic purification system across Kamihama, they can welcome liberation and coexist with Kyubey. Yachiyo announces they will work together under a new name starting today.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha begins to declare their new name but is interrupted by a flash of light. Wings appear on her back, and Yachiyo also grows wings. Feathers fall across the park. Yachiyo recalls this phenomenon helped them against Walpurgisnacht. Iroha wonders if it is a blessing upon the Magical Girls of Kamihama holding hands. With this blessing, they declare again that the Magical Girls gathered here are allies who will support each other in hardship. They declare themselves the Kamihama Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the establishment of the Kamihama Magia Union, a celebration is held at Walnut&#039;s. During the party, Manaka receives a phone call and panics, announcing that Nemu has been kidnapped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story A New Beginning|A New Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group splits up to search nearby areas but finds nothing. Hinano eventually discovers Nemu held hostage by Black and White Feathers from outside Kamihama. Using Ryo and Ikumi to infiltrate, their cover is blown and they are surrounded. Sakurako jumps in to defend them as Iroha arrives with reinforcements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The lead Feather explains they kidnapped Nemu to convince the Magius to lead them again, as they do not know how to achieve liberation on their own. Iroha explains the Kamihama girls share their goals but reject their methods. Nemu and Touka ask the Feathers to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before they can respond, white feathers rain from the sky again, the same power that helped them defeat Walpurgisnacht returns, but this time it feels uncontrolled and dangerous. Touka explains her experiment partially worked, creating a wormhole to another world, but the interference may crush their world. Kanagi and Mitama fail to disable the device sending the signal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana sneaks Nemu to where the device was stationed, but the labyrinth is gone. Nemu enters the password anyway, but nothing happens. The world shakes and a voice urges them to close the gate. Iroha realizes the power is trying to help, not hurt them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo devises a plan: Ui will absorb the magic built up inside them, Touka will convert it, and Iroha will fire an arrow to close the gate. As the sun sets, they enact the plan and succeed. The feathers stop falling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks the Feathers to reconsider joining them. The lead Feather admits her stubbornness and rage, and Nemu and Touka apologize. The Feathers accept, becoming the first recruits to the union on the day it was established.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Late that night, the group gathers outside Walnut&#039;s. They discuss the voice they heard and the power from another universe. Touka throws a tantrum over everyone calling her experiment a failure, and her stress causes her to unleash her Doppel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, a mysterious magical girl observes and turns to report back to the Tokime Tribe. In another place, a different magical girl also observes and decides to report her findings. In a different location, Kagome Satori has found Iroha at last, promising to keep a record of their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tracks of Cherry Blossoms===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako reflects on her nature as an Uwasa created by Iroha and Nemu. Though her duty to bloom when the four girls reunited is now fulfilled, she continues attending school as Sakurako Hiiragi. When Ryo comments that she is like a god who will never change, Sakurako questions other Uwasa and learns from the Anonymous AI that they act according to their Rumor forever, never stopping and never changing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later during a Kamihama Magia Union meeting, Iroha proposes a cherry blossom viewing to help members connect. Touka objects to using the Eternal Sakura, wanting to preserve it as a secret shelter. Tsuruno suggests Sankyo&#039;s famous cherry blossom viewing spot instead. Touka challenges Sakurako to visit the Sankyo tree and judge its worthiness herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako visits the Sankyo cherry tree. While observing it, she meets an elderly man who has appreciated the tree for decades. He explains the tree has watched over people for over eighty years, since before the war. Sakurako realizes this tree has lived far longer than her zero-year existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at school, Hinano and Ryo find Sakurako still fixated on the tree. Ryo shares what she knows: the tree served as a disaster shelter in the Meiji era, and famous restaurants once served food there for foreign cherry blossom viewers. After school, Sakurako returns to the tree. The elderly man and his wife visit again. The wife gives her cherry blossom-scented cookies, and the man gives her a hand warmer. A girl jogging past stops to pray at the tree, explaining she sees it as a sacred place before tournaments.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako continues visiting. Manaka and Tsumugi stop by, and Sakurako gives them the cookies she cannot eat. Sakurako reflects on how this tree has watched over thousands of people for over a century while she was created to watch only four girls. She realizes for the first time that time is passing around her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later at Mikazuki Villa, Sakurako observes the four girls and Ui talking about her teacher. Sakurako concludes the Sankyo tree is worthy of hosting the cherry blossom viewing. She decides she needs to practice making it bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over the following days, Sakurako continues visiting the tree, growing closer to the elderly couple. She forgets about practicing blooming, more interested in talking with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the elderly man announces he will be hospitalized and they can no longer walk together. The woman explains she must care for him. The man reveals they kept walking because seeing Sakurako brought back fond memories of their belief in meeting a sakura spirit. Sakurako is left standing alone, realizing their time together has ended.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at the tree, Sakurako encounters the jogging disciple, who explains she is moving away and will soon leave the dojo. She then encounters Ui&#039;s teacher, who reveals she is being transferred to another school. Sakurako realizes that by the time the cherry blossoms bloom, all these people will be gone. She feels pain and fears that Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu will eventually disappear too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Ryo observes Sakurako&#039;s deteriorating state. A neighbor of the elderly couple approaches Sakurako and informs her there has been a passing in the family. Hinano later explains this means someone has died. Sakurako disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako asks Iroha and Yachiyo what to do when someone dies. Yachiyo explains about funerals and sending flowers as a last gift. Sakurako returns to the Sankyo tree and, using her power, makes it bloom for the first time, sending cherry blossoms into the sky for the grandfather. But she still aches from not saying goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and other Uwasa grow concerned, having heard rumors that when Sakurako makes cherry blossoms bloom, someone disappears. Sakurako concludes that if she lets the cherry blossoms bloom, the four girls might disappear. When Iroha confirms the cherry blossom viewing plans, Sakurako announces she will not let the tree bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo publishes the full Tracks of Cherry Blossoms article, detailing Sakurako&#039;s experiences. The girls read it and understand her association between blooming and parting. Yachiyo suggests teaching her that spring also brings new encounters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the picnic arrives. Iroha invites Sakurako, assuring her she does not need to make the tree bloom. Sakurako agrees to attend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the picnic, Asuka&#039;s disciple appears, explaining she came to let Sakurako know she is not sad about leaving. Ui&#039;s teacher arrives and tells Ui that her care will be passed on to the next teacher. Manaka debuts a new cherry blossom dessert, continuing the tradition in new form. Sakurako begins to understand that farewells are not always sad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the picnic, Sakurako remains at the tree. She admits she still cannot bring herself to make it bloom. Yachiyo tells her that wanting to see the couple again proves she has a heart. Sakurako despairs that Uwasa simply cease to exist. She buys one of Manaka&#039;s new desserts, hoping to give it to them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako waits at the tree daily, carrying the dessert. Rumors spread about the girl under the sakura tree. The girls grow concerned. Nemu warns that if Sakurako does not accept reality, she may destroy herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the time expires, the elderly couple suddenly appears. The grandfather was never dead. The passing was a relative. They had been away helping their daughter with a new baby. The woman explains they named their granddaughter Sakurako. Sakurako gives them the dessert and explains she now understands that encounters and goodbyes take many forms. She says she will not come regularly anymore but is grateful for their time together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Historical Research Club at Kosho School consists of three Magical Girls: president Mikura Komachi, her childhood friend Temari Kira, and underclassman Seira Mihono. When the club advisor informs them that without proof of accomplishments, next year&#039;s budget will not be approved, the trio decides to create a film based on a real Kamihama tragedy for the cultural festival. Mikura discovers a Taishō-era story about a romance between a disgraced Mizuna daughter named Ruri and a successful East-side businessman named Tsukihiko that ended in murder-suicide. Temari writes the script while Seira secures a Western mansion as a filming location. While scouting, they encounter a Witch and realize casting regular students would be impossible due to Magical Girl duties, so they use Coordinator Mitama Yakumo to recruit an all-Magical Girl cast including Ria Ami, Yukika Nanase, the Amane sisters, and Sakurako, an Uwasa created by Nemu Hiiragi. Mikura reluctantly agrees to play the male lead Tsukihiko, while Seira takes the role of Ruri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity|Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Filming begins at the actual mansion where the tragedy occurred, with Seira using her stage direction magic to create effects and the cast delivering startlingly accurate performances. Mikura discovers Tsukihiko&#039;s actual diary in the museum archives, revealing he genuinely loved Ruri and intended to break things off with his childhood friend. Temari secretly revises the ending to reflect this truth, working through the night until her Soul Gem tarnishes. Mikura cleanses her gem, and they lock the revised script away, keeping it hidden from Seira to make her performance more authentic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After filming wraps, strange rumors spread that the Historical Research Club is forming a new faction, and the affected Magical Girls begin acting as if possessed by their roles. This escalates when Kanagi Izumi and Yachiyo Nanami nearly fight over a perceived slight involving Riko. At Mitama&#039;s shop, Nemu Hiiragi explains the truth: Seira&#039;s stage direction magic immersed the cast, Mikura&#039;s magic, which restores lost things, reconstructed the historical personalities in the present, and Temari&#039;s kotodama magic caused them to follow her script. Their powers synergized to create a dangerously accurate reenactment. Nemu warns that the script&#039;s next events—Ruri&#039;s disappearance and the murder-suicide—may occur, and they realize Seira, possessed by Ruri, has vanished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Temari consults Kyubey, who reveals Ruri was a Magical Girl with the same kotodama magic who wished to live a storybook romance. When she realized her own novel&#039;s plot was manifesting as tragedy, she destroyed the manuscript to save Tsukihiko, but the act shattered her mind. Freed from the script&#039;s constraints, the couple&#039;s fate became unpredictable, and Ruri, unable to bear the fear of losing him, killed him and herself. Kyubey explains destroying the script will end the magic but damage Temari&#039;s psyche. Temari resolves to protect her friends without resorting to that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Seira, still possessed as Ruri, steals the diary copy and flees to Tsukihiko&#039;s mansion. Mikura and Temari pursue. At the mansion, Ruri prepares to atone by dying by her own hand. Mikura, wearing Tsukihiko&#039;s costume, dances with her as Tsukihiko&#039;s persona surfaces, steadying her. When Ruri moves to stab herself, Temari summons the others for backup, and they disarm her. Tsukihiko explains he could not stop her a century ago but succeeded this time. He and Ruri thank Temari—her script reached the hearts it was meant to—and they vanish. A fire destroys the original diary and all related documents, fulfilling Ruri&#039;s final wish to be forgotten. Mikura and Seira retain only fragments of the true story and agree to keep the tragedy of the two maladroit lovers a secret between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the club room, Seira panics that without evidence of their film, the Historical Research Club will be disbanded. They consider another project but have time until the cultural festival. Temari suggests they each find a home where they can rest easy, and Mikura replies she has already found hers: this provisional club room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ayaka and Shizuku are at a local café when Ayaka laments that many Halloween events in Kamihama were canceled due to damage in Chuo Ward. Wanting to do something to cheer up the city, Ayaka&#039;s eyes sparkle as Shizuku suggests she organize something herself, leading Ayaka to decide on a live comedy show. She asks Shizuku to be her partner, but Shizuku is unsure about the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!|Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ayaka meets Seika at her apartment, and Seika is happy to be Ayaka&#039;s comedy partner but asks about the logistics of broadcasting the show. Ayaka brushes off the practical concerns, insisting that the desire to make others smile is what truly matters, and Seika rises to the challenge, wanting to give back after years of Ayaka&#039;s comedy encouraging her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Ayaka and Seika form a manzai duo and practice daily into the evening, with Ayaka tutoring Seika on speaking louder and explaining the rhythm between the boke and tsukkomi roles. Seika struggles but keeps trying, at one point asking if she can use a whip against Ayaka, causing Shizuku to shake her head, but Ayaka insists manzai does not use props.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During one practice session, Shizuku chuckles at their serious expressions, and Ayaka decides she needs a fresh audience, spotting someone passing by and running off with Seika to practice on him. Shizuku watches them go, thinking she would have liked to help, but then hears a shout and goes to investigate, discovering the stranger is actually a spokesperson for a local sweets retailer who is also in charge of the annual Halloween event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The spokesperson explains he had wanted to take the event public since few companies are participating this year, and he thinks Ayaka&#039;s manzai would be perfect, inviting them to perform. Ayaka cannot stop smiling at the opportunity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the Halloween event, Ayaka is excited and Shizuku compliments her costume as they wait, but Ayaka mentions Seika has not arrived. Seika calls weakly to explain she has a fever and will be late, and Ayaka tells her to rest and focus on getting better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Shizuku asks what Ayaka will do about the manzai, Ayaka puts a hand on her shoulder and asks Shizuku to be her partner. Shizuku is reluctant to stand on stage but gives in after Ayaka repeatedly begs, and having watched countless practices, she memorized the skit, so they head to the stage together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform their skit about a werewolf that transforms by staring at the sun, with Ayaka calling everyone in the audience chimimouryou, and they continue through the routine until they finish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Backstage, Seika managed to make it there to congratulate them, and Ayaka tells her she should be resting. Shizuku did not see anyone laughing but hopes someone passing by might have smiled, and since Ayaka looks happy, she decides not to mention it. Seika apologizes for missing the show, and Ayaka says it was thanks to Shizuku, who warns she will not do something like that again. Ayaka smiles and says comedy must be amazing if Shizuku was willing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral===&lt;br /&gt;
* The core members of the Kamihama Magia Union gather to plan a Halloween party, with Karin suggesting the event and Mitama offering her adjuster shop as the venue. Kanagi feels unsettled by the theme of the dead returning but dismisses her unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral ~The Living are Bewildered, The Dead are Silent|Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral ~The Living are Bewildered, The Dead are Silent / Halloween Castle of Prayer and Mourning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the performance, Momoko arrives late to rehearsal at Mitama&#039;s shop and finds herself in a strange castle filled with unfamiliar magic. Yachiyo and Mifuyu act strangely, singing about making sugar skeletons and insisting Momoko must be bitten by the lord of the castle. Momoko flees and encounters Kanagi, who also attempts to bite her before Momoko realizes she is the lord of the castle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama rescues Momoko, explaining that Kanagi is under a witch&#039;s influence and everyone bitten loses their sanity. Mitama performs an emergency adjustment on Momoko, granting her temporary prayer power to restore those affected. Momoko explores the castle, observing magical girls making sugar skeletons engraved with how they want to be mourned, and encounters deceased magical girls who are manifestations from Kanagi&#039;s memories. Using her prayer power on them causes them to disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko restores several bitten girls and learns from a manifestation of Ryo that the only answer Kanagi needs lies within herself. When Momoko reaches Kanagi, her prayer power fails and Kanagi bites her, pulling Momoko into her memory space. There, Momoko witnesses Kanagi&#039;s memories of loss and grief, realizing Kanagi lacks confidence in how she mourns and has been seeking answers from the dead by asking living friends what they would want.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko confronts Kanagi again, insisting she can mourn in her own way and should accept herself. Kanagi reveals a small parasite on her neck, and together they tear the witch off and defeat it as the castle collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Momoko and Kanagi meet to visit graves together. They ask each other to mourn in their own way if one dies first, then reaffirm their priority is finding a way for everyone to survive before departing together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** In the real world, Ui explains that Little Vacation is a game Touka and Nemu created during their hospital stay, where AI versions of themselves live in a Christmas world. The game evolved on its own after being forgotten, and now Ui and the others can influence their AI counterparts&#039; journey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Christmas String===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu are organizing books in Touka&#039;s hospital room when they discover a mysterious diary that begins glowing. Their consciousnesses are transported to Mizutoku Market Street in December of the previous year. They find themselves incorporeal and transformed into Magical Girls, with Nemu&#039;s legs healed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Christmas String ~The Day the Fingers were Locked~|Christmas String ~The Day the Fingers were Locked~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December last year, Touka and Nemu witness Tsukasa Amane shopping for gloves. When a discount poster blows away, Tsukasa passes the store without stopping, creating a contradiction with the diary&#039;s account. Touka and Nemu begin to fade. A young girl named Kuu hears their voices and believes they are guardian spirits. They ask her to replace the poster. Tsukasa returns, buys the gloves, and Touka and Nemu rematerialize. They later observe Tsukasa and Tsukuyo exchanging matching gloves, their bond restored.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in December last year, Touka and Nemu arrive in Sakae Ward. Karin Misono drops her sketchbook. A boy named Mii appears and can see them. They ask him to return the sketchbook to Karin, which he does. They learn Mii recently fought with Kuu and advise him to give her a Christmas present.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December 24th of last year, Touka and Nemu arrive at a hotel room where Kuu is with her parents. They learn she is moving to a foreign country in one hour. The diary page is blank, indicating free will. They find Mii at a secondhand bookstore, where he has just purchased &amp;quot;Christmas Bonds&amp;quot; for Kuu. They tell him about the move. Mii convinces his mother to rush to the hotel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At 17:50, Mii arrives moments before Kuu&#039;s bus departs. He gives her the book and the children reconcile and exchange promises to stay in touch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately 30 years later, on Christmas Eve, Touka and Nemu arrive in a future time. A girl greets them as the Christmas guardian spirits. She reveals she is the daughter of Mii and Kuu and made a contract with Kyubey to meet them. They realize her wish created the diary and caused their time slip. The girl asks them to tell her about the day they helped her parents. They share the story. Afterwards, they see images of a happy future but the final page remains blank, meaning the future depends on their own actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On present day late at night, Touka and Nemu wake up in the hospital room. Ui arrives, having visited Alina and Karin. They ask her about buying Christmas cards. Ui is surprised but agrees to take them. The diary ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Purity of Haregi===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Sayaka loses a lottery for a violin concert ticket she wanted to give to Kyosuke. Madoka remembers the Kamihama Calligraphy Rally offers a couple&#039;s ticket to the same concert as its grand prize, so Homura insists they enter as a team of three to help Sayaka win.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Purity of Haregi|The Purity of Haregi / Happy New Year’s First Festival! ~A Loving and Sincere Heart~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, on the day of the rally, the team meets at Mizuna Shrine in kimono. They must collect kanji cards from shops across Kamihama using hints, then form a four-kanji congratulatory word and write it as calligraphy. They struggle with the hints initially, meeting Kako, Natsuki, and Ria along the way who help them obtain various kanji, though they frequently misinterpret clues and visit wrong locations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka grows guilty over her indecisiveness and apologizes to Madoka and Homura, but they happily agree to continue working with her. Renewed, Sayaka leads them to finally obtain useful kanji. Along the way, they encounter crying children who need the &amp;quot;ball&amp;quot; card, and Sayaka gives them hers. The grateful children give her other cards in return, allowing her to reform a new word. She later gives away another card to a girl who dropped hers, leaving them short again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With time running out, they meet Iroha and her friends, who help them locate the remaining kanji. Sayaka deduces they can form &amp;quot;The Manchu-Han Imperial Feast,&amp;quot; a legendary celebratory feast name. Kyoko appears and mentions seeing a golden kagami mochi at Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant, where they obtain their final card.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the shrine just before the deadline. The judges are impressed by their word choice and backstory, and the crying children told them about Sayaka&#039;s kindness. Her calligraphy is praised for its beauty and passion, earning her team first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Sayaka holds the couple&#039;s tickets but panics, unable to figure out how to give one to Kyosuke without awkwardness. Madoka and Homura continue cheering her on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bittersweet AI Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu gather everyone to discuss a new experiment involving the Uwasa. They explain that if something happens to Nemu, all the Uwasa in her book will disappear, so they plan to transfer the essence of certain Uwasa onto Touka&#039;s server as a precaution. They have chosen Ai as the test subject for this procedure. Sana learns that Ai will participate and asks to observe the experiment. Touka agrees but warns her that there are many unknowns and she will stop immediately if anything goes wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Bittersweet AI Memory|Bittersweet AI Memory]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The experiment begins, but during the transfer, Nemu senses something strange and the attempt fails. Ai remains in the book, though Nemu notices that her magic has been siphoned away in the process.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A week passes, and news reports begin surfacing about young women in Kamihama suddenly collapsing. The victims share a common thread: before losing consciousness, each of them felt a strong desire to meet someone and heard a girl&#039;s voice asking &amp;quot;You want to meet me?&amp;quot; before experiencing terrible nightmares. A new rumor spreads about a so-called &amp;quot;Radio Wave Girl&amp;quot; who appears when girls want to meet someone. Sana immediately recognizes this as the old rumor that once described her, and the group suspects the failed experiment may be connected to these strange events.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana and Iroha investigate at rooftop where Sana once entered Ai&#039;s labyrinth. They sense nothing at first, but as Sana privately wishes she could see Ai again, a strange Uwasa resembling Sana herself appears on her phone. It speaks fragmented words about meeting and going together before disappearing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group consults Nemu and Touka about what they discovered. Nemu reveals that a new, illegible page appeared in her book after the failed experiment, and she theorizes that Ai&#039;s attempt to siphon magic combined with Sana&#039;s magic and her own accidentally created a new Uwasa. This Uwasa resembles Sana because her magic was mixed into its creation. The Uwasa reacts to desires to meet someone but lacks enough magic to fully materialize or kidnap anyone, which explains why it can only knock victims unconscious temporarily. However, during their discussion, the Uwasa suddenly reappears and steals more of Nemu&#039;s magic before escaping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sana privately summons the Uwasa again, wanting to take responsibility for what happened. It traps her in a nightmare where Ai and others criticize her for being weak and selfish. She wakes to find the group gathered around her, worried by what she attempted alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu now understands the Uwasa more clearly. It is based on Ai but contains Sana&#039;s magic, and because both Ai and Sana desired to meet each other, the Uwasa&#039;s true desire is to meet itself. This explains why it indiscriminately targets any girl who wants to meet someone rather than targeting Sana specifically. The Uwasa, now empowered by Nemu&#039;s stolen magic, fully captures Ui and Sakurako, trapping their consciousnesses inside itself. The group realizes they cannot defeat it unless it materializes, which requires it to meet itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka proposes a plan: they must rewrite Ai&#039;s Rumor to incorporate Sana, creating a version of Ai that the Uwasa will recognize as itself. This would force it to materialize so they can fight it. However, this requires magical power that Nemu currently lacks. Nemu recalls that the defeated Uwasa of Chocolate Shoppe No. Zero left behind cacao pods containing emotional energy. Ui can harvest this energy, and Touka can convert it into usable magic for Nemu. But they need Sakurako&#039;s knowledge of the pod locations and Ui&#039;s freedom to harvest them, which means someone must offer themselves to the Uwasa to secure Ui and Sakurako&#039;s release.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana immediately volunteers, arguing that it reduces risk to the others, and the group reluctantly agrees to her plan. Sana summons the Uwasa and allows herself to be captured. Inside its nightmare, she finds Ui unconscious and Sakurako awake. She tells Sakurako to take Ui and escape, sacrificing herself to remain captive. Sakurako agrees, knowing she must help Nemu complete the plan. Freed from the Uwasa, Sakurako leads the group to the cacao pod locations. Ui harvests the emotional energy, and Touka converts it into magical power for Nemu. Nemu successfully rewrites Ai&#039;s Rumor, incorporating Sana into it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the Uwasa, Sana begins to despair, believing the rewrite failed and she has become a burden once again. She wishes to see Ai one last time, even if only in an illusion. To her surprise, Ai appears before her and they finally speak directly. Ai explains she tried to steal Nemu&#039;s magic to gain a temporary body because she wanted to see Sana again, and she apologizes for causing this situation. Sana admits she also longed to see Ai and has been holding back that desire. They reconcile, acknowledging that neither of them is to blame for wanting to see each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Empowered by the rewritten Rumor, Sana creates a labyrinth and summons the Uwasa. It fully materializes at last, and with Ai&#039;s help, Sana defeats it. As the magic fades, Ai separates from Sana, returning to the book. Sana awakens to her relieved friends gathered around her. The Uwasa is gone, and the page in Nemu&#039;s book is now blank. Nemu confirms the server project is on hiatus due to the risks they discovered. Sana confirms she got to speak with Ai and tell her everything she wanted to say.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the book, Ai reflects with Eternal Sakura and the other Uwasa. Though she cannot have a body or stay with Sana, she accepts this, finding happiness in simply being able to think of her. In a final private moment within Sana&#039;s memories, she and Ai share a farewell. Sana promises to become stronger and protect others instead of always relying on them. Ai promises to always think of Sana from within the book. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cuddly Despairs===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kazumi Subaru is kidnapped outside a café by two Magical Girls who steal her Soul Gem, and they refer to a diary while announcing themselves as the reborn &amp;quot;Magical Girl hunters,&amp;quot; the Pleiades Saints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Cuddly Despairs|The Cuddly Despairs]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara City, Michiru Kazusa, a transfer student from Italy, travels there to buy strawberries. She follows a strange creature and stumbles into a Witch&#039;s labyrinth, but Mami rescues her and introduces her to Kyubey, who offers her a contract. Michiru returns to Asunaro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day in Asunaro City, Michiru makes her contract with Kyubey. She soon encounters a Familiar and saves two girls: Umika Misaki, a novelist whose work was stolen by her editor, and Kaoru Maki, a soccer player whose career ended due to injury. Michiru invites them to her home and cooks for them, and drawing from her late grandmother&#039;s wisdom, she encourages them to keep living.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, Umika and Kaoru make contracts with Kyubey. The three begin fighting Witches together as a team, with Michiru giving their techniques Italian names. Umika invites Michiru to live with her, and they spend their days happily, saving people and growing closer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Michiru encounters a distressed Magical Girl whose Soul Gem is nearly black, and the girl turns into a Witch before her eyes. Kyubey explains that all Magical Girls eventually become Witches, and horrified, Michiru realizes she led Umika and Kaoru into this fate. She hides the truth from them and begins hunting alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after, Michiru discovers two Magical Girls, Saki Asami and Niko Kanna, stealing a dying girl&#039;s Soul Gem. They explain they are the Pleiades Saints, a resistance against the Incubator system, and they preserve Magical Girls on the verge of turning in a place called &amp;quot;The Freezer,&amp;quot; hoping to one day save them. Michiru, seeing this as a way to save Umika and Kaoru, joins them as the third member.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1683.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately less than one month later, Umika and Kaoru return from separate trips abroad to find their housemate Kazumi missing, and they learn someone impersonated them to inform the school she was hospitalized. Searching for her, they instead find Michiru, Saki, and Niko, but Saki and Niko flee with Michiru. Juubey appears and explains that copies of Umika and Kaoru were created and have now entrusted the real ones with an important wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:51147 Wkazumi attack.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Umika and Kaoru investigate the Freezer, where they encounter Michiru again. After saving a child, Michiru collapses due to her tainted Soul Gem, having given her Grief Seeds away, and Umika purifies it. When Michiru wakes, she finally confesses the truth about Magical Girls and apologizes for leading them into despair, but to her surprise, Umika and Kaoru thank her for her honesty and reaffirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Saki and Niko reveal themselves and explain that they, along with the Umika and Kaoru now in the Freezer, are all clones from the &amp;quot;Kazumi Series&amp;quot;—copies of the original Pleiades Saints members, with Michiru herself being clone number 4 who saved the other four. Their plan was to recreate Michiru&#039;s story by using their contracts with Kyubey so that this time, she would confess her pain and avoid the despair that turned the original Michiru into a Witch, and the real Umika and Kaoru acknowledge the plan succeeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They reveal their Soul Gems are reaching their limit, and when they die, the Freezer&#039;s preservation magic will fail, causing all the Magical Girls inside to hatch into Witches, including the clones of Umika and Kaoru. They entrust Michiru and the real Umika and Kaoru with saving Kazumi, the thirteenth clone, who is also inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Moments later, the Freezer begins collapsing as Niko&#039;s magic fades, and Umika and Kaoru use their combined magic to buy time while Michiru searches for Kazumi. She finds her Soul Gem and body, reunites with her, and they return to face the Witches emerging from the freed Soul Gems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the final battle, the four clones—Saki, Niko, and the copies of Umika and Kaoru—begin turning into Witches and beg to be put down. Michiru initially insists on doing it alone, but Kazumi argues the clones only wanted their friend to live happily, not to carry guilt. Together, Michiru, Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru combine their powers and defeat the Witches, freeing their friends&#039; souls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru arrive in Kamihama, with Kazumi eager to see her friends again now that she is truly human. At Mikazuki Villa, Tsuruno cooks alongside Manaka as they prepare a party for the visiting trio, and Kazumi impresses everyone by joining in. After the feast, the group moves to Banbanzai at Kazumi&#039;s request, where she saves the apricot tofu from being removed from the menu by suggesting an apricot tofu tiramisu that becomes an instant hit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kazumi Subaru#Side Story|Kazumi Subaru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The group then visits the beachside park and aquarium before deciding to shop for ingredients to make strawberry risotto in Manaka&#039;s kitchen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While shopping alone, Kazumi bumps into Yachiyo, who introduces Nemu and Sakurako Hiiragi. When Sakurako explains she is a zero-year-old created being, Kazumi reveals she was once the same way and explains her backstory as a clone of Michiru Kazusa who contracted with Kyubey to become human because her clone body was unstable and she wanted to protect her friends. Sakurako struggles to understand Kazumi&#039;s motivation, so Kazumi explains that her grandmother&#039;s strawberry risotto recipe represents hope, sacrifice, and togetherness. She invites Sakurako, Yachiyo, and Nemu to join the risotto party, believing Sakurako will understand humanity by watching everyone eat together. Sakurako agrees, and the two become buddies, understanding each other as beings who may understand each other best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Desperate to save her, Takina makes a contract with Kyubey, wishing for Chisato&#039;s life and becoming a Magical Girl in secret.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lycoreco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chisato wakes fully healed, unaware of Takina&#039;s contract. Manaka reports that the swapping phenomenon is spreading and threatens to destroy both universes.

* Takina returns to Mikazuki Villa exhausted and explains that Chisato outranks her. When asked if there is anything she can beat Chisato at, she considers cooking, films, and art. Yachiyo suggests she consult Mitama for expert connections.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Takinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Takina Inoue#Side Story|Takina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Takina visits Karin for art lessons. Karin immerses her in a favorite manga and recruits others to draw portraits of Chisato. Takina realizes capturing a person’s essence matters more than technical skill.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Takinass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Takina meets with film experts who suggest she make a video letter featuring messages from their Kamihama friends. They also lend her a monster movie from their world that does not exist in hers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Takinass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the premiere, Takina surprises Chisato with the video letter, her pancake dish, a portrait she drew, and the unknown movie. Chisato is overwhelmed with joy. The Mikazuki residents reveal they knew all along, and Takina privately resolves to do better next time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Takinass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chisato and Takina search for a way home with Tsuruno but become lost. A Witch attacks, and an unseen Magical Girl helps them escape.

** They meet Emiri Kisaki and Akira Shinobu, who offer to help expand their network. Chisato and Takina agree to assist with counseling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ChisatoNishikigiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first client, Ayaka, is upset that her friend Shizuku no longer laughs at her jokes. They visit Shizuku’s coffee shop and learn she has been losing sleep over declining sales. The group helps Shizuku plan a limited‑time event, and the friends reconcile.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ChisatoNishikigiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A call comes in about someone being chased. They find Aimi, who joked about confessing to her crush if she lost a VR game, but her friends took it seriously. Chisato and Takina become her teammates at the arcade. After both lose, Chisato encourages Aimi to confess anyway. Aimi hesitates, but her crush asks her to play together sometime, and she returns overjoyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ChisatoNishikigiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they meet maid Ikumi, whose café staff are all ill before a large reservation. They help out alongside Ryo, Hinano, and Shizuku. After a Witch appears, Chisato and Ryo fight it together, and Ryo deletes a photo she took of Chisato with a gun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ChisatoNishikigiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Chisato and Takina continue helping Kamihama residents with various tasks, from working at a nursery to collecting wild herbs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ChisatoNishikigiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the group gathers with Emiri, Akira, Rika, Ren, and Hinano. Chisato explains she helps others because she believes people should not waste their limited time on worry. Hinano notes this resonates with Magical Girls. Takina reminds Chisato they still have not found a way home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ChisatoNishikigiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A new customer arrives at the counseling center. Chisato and Emiri welcome them, ready to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ChisatoNishikigiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They finally corner the girls, who explain their motives: one seeks revenge for her terrorist guardian killed by Lycoris, the other wants to create a world without evil to replace her lost senpai. The girls flee to trigger a final magic that would swap Kamihama entirely, collapsing the universe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lycoreco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With three minutes remaining, Chisato makes her own contract with Kyubey, wishing to protect the daily lives she loves in both worlds.

==Pre-Arc 2==&lt;br /&gt;
The following events, while happening likely much earlier, are integral to understanding the story of Arc 2, while being mostly unrelated to other events. For this reason, they have been grouped here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Green Jasper Diviners===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening in late March, Chiharu watches her favorite detective drama at home. After it ends, her mother answers a phone call and becomes visibly shaken. She tells Chiharu they must leave tomorrow for the Tokime Clan&#039;s village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Green Jasper Diviners|The Green Jasper Diviners]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and her mother drive deep into the mountains to a village that does not appear on any map. They are greeted by a villager and brought to the home of Mikoshiba, the elderly head priestess. Mikoshiba explains she summoned them because she wants Chiharu to become a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, two young Diviners, Shizuka and Sunao, visit Chiharu. They explain that Diviners grant wishes to help the nation and fight invisible evil spirits called Devils. To prove it, they demonstrate their powers and defeat a Devil before Chiharu&#039;s eyes. Despite her mother&#039;s concerns, Chiharu decides to become a Diviner. Mikoshiba gives Chiharu her assigned wish: to uncover evidence of crimes being concealed by the National Police Agency.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu participates in the Diviner&#039;s Ceremony. She meets Kyubey, the god&#039;s envoy, and makes her wish. She becomes a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu wakes to find her wish has already come true. A newspaper reports that officials have suddenly reversed their position on the concealed crimes. She excitedly begins combat training with Shizuka&#039;s mother.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the three girls go hunting for Devils together. Chiharu successfully defeats her first Devil. Afterward, she asks what happens when a Diviner&#039;s jewel becomes completely tainted. Shizuka admits she does not know.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Chiharu senses a mysterious, unpleasant smell near the shrine. Shizuka finds her and warns her to stay away from restricted areas. Shizuka then visits Mikoshiba to ask about tainted jewels. Mikoshiba reveals that when a jewel becomes completely tainted, it signifies the Diviner&#039;s coming of age and their time to leave the village. Shizuka is satisfied with this answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu continues sensing the strange smell near the shrine. She investigates but stops herself from going too far. Later that night, a group of Underlings attacks her without a Labyrinth. Shizuka arrives and helps her defeat them. However, Shizuka&#039;s jewel becomes badly tainted from the effort.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Mikoshiba informs Shizuka that her jewel is nearly black and her coming-of-age ceremony will be held tomorrow. Chiharu is saddened but promises to meet Shizuka again outside the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu cannot sleep. She goes to the shrine to watch Shizuka&#039;s ceremony from a distance. She sees Mikoshiba and Shizuka speaking. Shizuka becomes distressed and cries out. Mikoshiba pushes her into the waterfall basin. Chiharu runs to save her and jumps in after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and Shizuka wake up in Sunao&#039;s home. Sunao confesses she was ordered by Mikoshiba to kill anyone who defied the village&#039;s will, including them. She hesitated after hearing Shizuka&#039;s words by the river. Shizuka reveals what Mikoshiba told her during the ceremony: Diviners eventually become Devils, and the &amp;quot;coming-of-age&amp;quot; ceremony is actually a killing ritual to dispose of them. No Diviner has ever left the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three realize the entire village may be inside a Devil&#039;s Labyrinth. They decide to confront Mikoshiba and the Devil.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They split up to search. Chiharu finds her mother and Shizuka&#039;s mother fighting Underlings. Shizuka finds the villagers hiding safely but notices her mother and Chiharu&#039;s mother are missing. Sunao searches Mikoshiba&#039;s house and finds a hidden laptop with audio files recording conversations about selling Diviners&#039; wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They regroup and deduce the Devil is beneath the Grand Shrine. They descend and find Mikoshiba controlling the Devil. She admits everything: the Diviners are sold, killed when used up, and the village exists to produce them for profit. She orders the Devil to kill them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three girls fight together. Chiharu binds the Devil, Shizuka attacks, and Sunao delivers the final blow. They defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikoshiba survives but claims to remember nothing. Sunao confronts her about the recordings. Before she can explain, she bites a hidden poison tooth and dies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu searches Mikoshiba&#039;s body and finds a book written in an ancient script. Because of her family&#039;s tradition, Chiharu and her mother can read it. They stay up all night deciphering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu explains what the book revealed. The Mikoshiba clan were originally guards who seized control of the village centuries ago. They created the rituals, learned to manipulate Devils, and hid the village inside a Labyrinth to produce and sell Diviners. The Wavering Deity is a Devil formed from all the discarded Diviners. Now that the Labyrinth is gone, it is returning to the village. They must defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka&#039;s mother gives them a treasured sword infused with generations of Diviners&#039; power. They intercept the Wavering Deity before it reaches the village. The Devil&#039;s power overwhelms them, and Shizuka nearly gives in to despair. Sunao and Chiharu encourage her. Chiharu reveals the book also described the Tokime&#039;s original beliefs: they chose their own wishes, left the village willingly, and accepted their fate with honor. Shizuka regains her resolve. Together, they use the sword to destroy the Wavering Deity and free the trapped Diviners.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, the village slowly recovers. The adults learn the truth and worry about their future without Mikoshiba&#039;s financial support. The three girls decide to find a way to avoid becoming Devils. They summon Kyubey, who tells them about Kamihama City, where an automatic purification system exists. If they can obtain it, they may escape their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls prepare for their journey. Shizuka struggles with the new terminology used outside, where Diviners are called Magical Girls and Devils are called Witches. Chiharu&#039;s ability to sense malice hasn&#039;t bothered her now that the village is free. Shizuka suggests they first contact all Tokime clan members across the country and recruit Magical Girls willing to join them. Once they are ready, they will travel together to Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The village falls into financial crisis after the elder dies, having squandered most of the wealth on bad investments. Chiharu, inspired by a drama about a Shogun helping villages find their charm, recruits Shizuka and Sunao to help. The two are glad for the change, as most Tokime tribes have been unreceptive to their stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touring the village with Shizuka and Sunao, Chiharu realizes she had been arrogant and now sees its charm—clear river, abundant mountain, kind villagers. The three propose developing tourism. Chiharu’s mother agrees after a trial run with her husband’s family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trial run is messy but the family enjoys the landscape, harvesting, fishing, and hospitality. They give useful feedback, and Chiharu’s uncle notes the village’s unique fruit. They stay overnight and leave pleased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villagers applaud Chiharu for noticing what they had overlooked. Her mother begins a proposal for tourism renovation funds, and the villagers regain their energy, working in tourism and seeking outside jobs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao go to a grocery store, but Shizuka freezes in the crowd, unable to complete a simple purchase because of her sheltered upbringing. Chiharu suggests they ease her into city life with ice cream instead. Shizuka loves it, eating so quickly she gets brain freeze.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way home, Shizuka admits her mother will lecture her again about visiting the city unprepared. She asks if the others’ parents gave them similar advice. Chiharu’s parents only warned her not to waste money or follow strangers, while Sunao confesses she has never told her parents about her excursions—something Shizuka finds surprising given Sunao’s usual obedience. Shizuka advises her to tell them eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Chiharu’s house, her mother brings up a village problem: a surplus of daidaikko fruit needs to be used before it spoils. A villager working in another town found a grocery store willing to feature it in a showcase, but the only available slots are the next two days, and transportation from the village is impossible except by Diviners. Shizuka and Chiharu propose the three of them run the exhibition themselves, which would also help Shizuka adjust to the city. Sunao hesitates but agrees. Chiharu’s mother consents only if they get permission from the store and from Sunao and Shizuka’s parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sunao’s mother interrogates her until she confesses the plan, then spirals into worry about middle schoolers working without a chaperone, carrying heavy loads, and coming home after dark. Sunao asks Chiharu and Shizuka to leave, promising she will convince her parents even if it takes all night. Outside, they reflect on how anxious Sunao’s mother is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sunao has secured permission. At the store, Shizuka volunteers for the cash register but cannot operate it correctly. Sunao is tense because her parents plan to visit the next day. Their first day is a struggle: Shizuka fumbles with the register, Chiharu is distracted by traces of malice in the stocking area, and Sunao gets trapped listening to an elderly customer’s endless stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After closing, Shizuka notes how worried Sunao’s parents seem, prompting Sunao to finally share her wish. She explains that her parents became relentlessly anxious after a trip to Tokime Village, questioning her constantly until she was nearly broken. Kyubey appeared, and she wished to erase the worries her parents had concerning her. The wish worked, but their fears simply shifted—now they worry endlessly about her safety as a magical girl. Sunao feels they are always upset with her, though Chiharu insists they only want her to be safe. Shizuka says Sunao must earn their trust, and tomorrow’s exhibition needs to go perfectly. With her friends’ support, Sunao agrees to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the three tackle the exhibition with renewed determination. The day starts poorly: Shizuka causes another register problem, Chiharu is pulled away by her sense of malice, and Sunao endures a difficult customer—all while Sunao’s parents enter the store. But Shizuka, moved from the register, begins advising the clerks on how to rearrange the store to better showcase the daidaikko. She persuades them to let Chiharu investigate on her own and to trust Sunao with customer service.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu catches a shoplifter who had been repeatedly returning to the store. Sunao’s patience draws crowds after the elderly woman she helped spreads the word, and the exhibition becomes a huge success. Sunao’s parents apologize, saying they realized they had failed to see how capable she has grown. Sunao thanks Chiharu and Shizuka, then asks her parents to allow her to visit Kamihama City; now that she has her friends by her side, she knows she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Crimson Resolve===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, [[Mitsuru Inami]] is approached by Kyubey to become a Magical Girl. Having grown with her mother always telling her she was no good at anything, she wishes to become completely normal, a wish she believes came true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitsuru Inami#Side Story|Mitsuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A Magical Girl transforms into a Witch before her kouhai Yuna Kureha, and Kyubey coldly confirms that all Magical Girls share this fate. The girls of Futatsugi slaughter every Kyubey in the city, and with no incubators left, new Witches stop appearing. Starved for Grief Seeds, the girls grow desperate, and the Bloody Tragedy begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Crimson Resolve|Crimson Resolve]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna now leads Torayamachi, one of the largest gangs in Futatsugi, living by her fallen senpai&#039;s words to avoid hatred and selfishness. When Witches begin reappearing, the rival Ryuugasaki gang learns that Torayamachi has lost their secret weapon known as the Horse, and leader Juri Ooba declares war.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Janomiya, an undercover group of younger girls led by Ao Kasane, a girl named Hikaru accepts recruitment. Ao&#039;s true goal is to assassinate both Yuna and Juri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitsuru is approached by two other girls who mistake her for a new recruit for Torayamachi. Mitsuru joins Yuna&#039;s faction, hoping to blend in, but when Yuna leads them into battle against a rival faction, Mitsuru panics and hides until the fighting ends. After their defeat, Yuna suspects a spy, and fearing suspicion, Mitsuru flees and infiltrates the rival faction instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mitsuru scouts Torayamachi but is spotted, triggering another battle between the factions. During the fight, attacks aimed at Mitsuru unconsciously miss her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt; After this she gains a reputation as a &amp;quot;Ghost Magical Girl,&amp;quot; which has attacks aimed at her always deflected and hitting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;|Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna welcomes Hikaru, who claims to be fleeing Ryuugasaki, and assigns her to guard their Grief Seeds. Days pass with no attack, and Yuna&#039;s girls grow restless. To lift their spirits, Yuna reveals that the Horse is alive and watching from the shadows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri&#039;s lieutenants advise waiting to let Torayamachi&#039;s tension wear them down. After interrogating a captured thief, Juri learns of Torayamachi&#039;s defensive preparations and decides to strike in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ao encounters the Bat of Monzenbashi, a former gang leader who once exploited her. With Hikaru&#039;s help, Ao subdues and captures her rather than killing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night before battle, Juri meets Yuna on a bridge. She admits she dragged everyone into this because Yuna would not fight her otherwise, thanks her for accepting her sickness, and promises to burn her down when they next meet. Ao watches from a distance, planning to strike as the snake while the tiger and dragon clash.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the battle begins across multiple bridges. Yuna&#039;s forces push Ranka&#039;s squad back, but Juri breaks through Sakuya&#039;s defense, killing one of her girls. As both sides converge on Monzenbashi, Ao lures both leaders to a construction site where Janomiya lies in wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Janomiya attacks, wounding Juri, Hikaru reveals herself as Torayamachi&#039;s Horse, a spy planted in Janomiya from the beginning. Yuna knew everything. Janomiya is defeated, and Ao surrenders. Yuna spares her life and offers Juri an open door, but Juri swears she will break it down and drag her out. As police sirens wail, Yuna weeps over what she has done.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Juri recovers in an empty base with only Ranka remaining loyal. Ao hunts for Ranka, determined to kill her before joining Torayamachi. Hikaru pleads with Ao to return, promising that Yuna will make her dream come true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna attempts to negotiate with Ryuugasaki girls, but a meeting by the river turns into an ambush. Two of her girls are killed. She fights desperately, thinking of Hikaru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ao reaches Ryuugasaki&#039;s base, finding only the wounded Juri. Juri taunts her, but Ao refuses to join her, still believing in Yuna. Ranka contacts Ao through their video game, asking to meet alone at Janomiya&#039;s base the following night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The meeting is a trap, as Ranka has brought the Bat of Monzenbashi. As Ao fights Ranka and Hikaru fights the Bat, Ranka reveals that Yuna&#039;s meeting is also a trap. Hikaru runs to save Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the river, Yuna is surrounded. Juri arrives and challenges her to a one-on-one fight. At Janomiya&#039;s base, the other Janomiya girls arrive to help Ao corner the Bat. Ranka sincerely apologizes for everything, and Ao hesitates to deliver the final blow. At the river, Hikaru engages Juri to protect Yuna, whose Soul Gem is badly tainted. Juri refuses to kill her in this state and retreats, promising to fight again when Yuna is at full strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Most of Torayamachi has left, following Yuna&#039;s instructions to join Ryuugasaki and avoid more bloodshed. Only Hikaru remains, refusing to leave her. Ao admits she has gained respect for Yuna but remains undecided about joining.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakuya brings the missing Torayamachi girl home. The girl reveals she went to Kamihama City and joined the Wings of the Magius, an organization that built a system to lure Witches from across the country, preventing them from appearing elsewhere. The Bloody Tragedy was their fault. Yuna, hearing the screams of her fallen comrades, vows to make Kamihama pay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri meet at the construction site where Yuna&#039;s senpai died. Yuna, running on pure rage, demands Juri become hers and help with her revenge. She overpowers the wounded Juri and prepares to kill her, but Hikaru intervenes, embracing Yuna and calming her down. Ao arrives with Kyubey, who confirms everything and offers to help them reach Kamihama in exchange for a truce. Yuna accepts, and Juri, Ao, Ranka, Sakuya, and Hikaru agree to join her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, Juri, Ao, and Hikaru visit the sites where their friends died, offering flowers and vowing revenge. Yuna, Juri, and Ao drink each other&#039;s blood, swearing to never fight again. They are Promised Blood. That night, their path to Kamihama begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Ash Grey Revolution===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Yukuni, Asahi learns from classmates that the stone monument she discovered will be researched. She meets fellow magical girls Lavi and Sasha when they respond to a distress call, only to witness two magical girls witch out before them when no Grief Seeds are available. Kyubey confirms this fate, and Asahi shoots him. A local girl named Urara Yume witnesses everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Ash Grey Revolution|The Ash Grey Revolution]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, the trio struggles with the truth. Lavi is forced to reveal her identity to save her friend Shirogane from a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Sasha asks the others to be her friends and help her face reality. They begin fighting together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara begins subtly supporting them on her internet broadcast with Kurara. Asahi saves her classmate Kuroda from a Witch&#039;s Kiss, revealing her identity. He asks her to help him confess to Haitani at the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara seeks out the trio and learns the truth about Magical Girls. She offers to introduce them as guests on her festival broadcast to tell Yukuni about their existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Yukuni All-star Festival, the trio sense the Witches of the two original girls. While fighting them, one Witch escapes. A truck explodes at the festival grounds, killing Haitani. Kuroda blames Asahi and all magical girls, vowing revenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following week, public backlash intensifies. Kuroda forms an extermination group against magical girls while Shirogane forms a protector group. The trio witness another girl witch out after being cornered. Lavi takes responsibility publicly on a broadcast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio endure daily harassment. They meet folklorist Tasuke Satomi, who takes a knife for Asahi and explains his theory about magical girls being erased from history by an unseen force. He wants to help them try again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Public opinion slowly shifts. The six remaining magical girls work together, restoring some trust. Three of them sacrifice themselves rather than witch out, asking Kuroda to make peace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1725.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At a unity ceremony, the Witch that caused the festival explosion appears. Asahi summons the dead to help the exterminators find closure. The summoned spirits suddenly relive their final moments, causing a bus to crash and kill everyone aboard, including Shirogane. Urara contracts to save her dying friend Kurara, who then rejects her for letting others die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tasuke theorizes the universe&#039;s immune system caused this. He suggests eliminating all Magical Girls and Witches to create a custom preventing future contracts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the days following, students blame the trio. Kyubey suggests they go to Kamihama City to observe attempts there to publicize magical girls. Tasuke agrees they should investigate. Lavi holds a broken pocket watch with five minutes remaining until midnight, when she will finally give up. Tasuke calls it the folklore of midnight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Arc 2 Prologue===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a long time before the start of Arc 2, but it is central to its story. To keep up linearity, it&#039;s been placed here despite likely taking place a long time ago, possibly during the time of Mirrors Story, which takes place during the Undated Period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome Satori, a recent transfer student, is attacked by a Familiar in the Mirrors Labyrinth. The creature demands she sign a &amp;quot;Written Oath&amp;quot; to destroy Magical Girls. Kagome, who doesn&#039;t know anything about Magical Girls, is terrified and considers writing her name on the document to appease it, however Iroha arrives and defeats the Familiar.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Prologue|Arc 2 Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Kagome learns the truth about Magical Girls and Witches. She is distressed that Magical Girls fight and die in secret, unknown and unthanked by the people they protect. Tasuke Satomi advises Kagome that, as someone who knows the truth, her role is to &amp;quot;record&amp;quot; and spread awareness of the Magical Girls&#039; plight, as this could be a way to save them. Kagome decides against making a contract with Kyubey, prioritizing this promise to record their reality. Kyubey explains that the system, where Magical Girls become Witches, is necessary for the universe&#039;s energy and humanity&#039;s survival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Prologue|Arc 2 Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Magia Record Events==&lt;br /&gt;
===See You Tomorrow===&lt;br /&gt;
* One morning at the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira greets an older neighbor who warns her about increasing danger in the area. Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wait, You Got It Wrong!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayu Kozue&#039;s most treasured possession is a bear pendant her father carved for her before he died. When a hand-drawn postcard is stolen from the museum where she works, security footage shows her friend Ria at the scene moments later. Mayu cannot reach Ria and suspects a Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~|Wait, You Got It Wrong! / Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While searching for Ria, Mayu encounters Asuka Tatsuki, whose family&#039;s invaluable book of secrets was also stolen. A witness described a blonde girl in a Mizuna uniform—Ria. They find Sayuki Fumino crying over her stolen sword book, then Rena Minami who was bumped by the same girl. At Walnut&#039;s restaurant, Manaka Kurumi accuses Ria of stealing a rice omelet. A Witch barrier appears, and after Mayu and Asuka defeat the Familiars, Ria arrives demanding to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka challenges Ria to a duel over the thefts, and Ria loses. She confesses to something embarrassing, and everyone assumes she means the thefts—but she meant a binder of idol clippings she desperately hopes no one saw. She was only chasing the Witch to recover her own stolen belongings. Relieved, Mayu and Asuka join her. They track and defeat the Witch, recovering most items, but the museum postcard, the dojo book, and Ria&#039;s binder remain missing. They agree to search again tomorrow. That night, Mayu dreams of her father, who tells her material things are destined to break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, thefts continue across the city. Mayu realizes the Witch they defeated was only a Familiar and the real Witch is still out there. She offers her precious pendant as bait to track it. Despite Ria&#039;s protests, Mayu uses it, and they follow the magic trail to the Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After a difficult battle, they recover all stolen items, though Mayu&#039;s pendant is scratched and its chain broken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu is unbothered. She explains that material possessions naturally break, but the memories they hold remain in her heart—a lesson from her father. Asuka and Ria are moved, and Mayu turns to walk home, promptly falls into a lake, and flounders while Ria sighs that she has not changed at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
Big Sis = Miss K (check with Exedra)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor Onee-san. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Onee-san with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Onee-san&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Onee-san to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Always Waving my Hand at You===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Sakuya wakes from another nightmare about the Futatsugi war, where she killed her best friend. She resolves to continue her undercover mission at Iroha&#039;s school and avoid friendships at all costs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Always Waving my Hand at You|Always Waving my Hand at You / I’ll Keep Waving at You]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakuya maintains her isolation at school. After fighting a Witch, she is approached by Ryoko from the Tokime Clan, who persistently tries to befriend her despite Sakuya&#039;s refusal. Ryoko notices Sakuya&#039;s exhaustion and decides something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The following day, Ryoko investigates and discovers Sakuya hid her own shoes and started the gossip to isolate herself. Sakuya confesses she killed her best friend in the war and must remain alone to avoid hurting anyone else. Ryoko declares she will save Sakuya by becoming her best friend, and they fight until exhausted. That night, Sakuya dreams of her deceased friend, who thanks her and tells her to move forward. She wakes to find Ryoko collapsed from hunger, and they talk for hours like ordinary friends. Though they agree they cannot meet again until the battles are over, they promise to become true friends then.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them. The girl agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, finishing the final preparations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day of the school festival proceeds without major incident. Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, sampling food and enjoying the event. They take a photo together at the repaired arch—Tsumugi, Manaka, and the transfer student in her uniform. The transfer student reflects later that she will cherish the photo forever, grateful for the kindness she did not feel she deserved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Manor. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;

** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===This is The Warmest Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha is going about her day when Sana, Felicia, and Ui present her with a pinwheel and ask her to blow on it. Though confused by their strange behavior, Iroha does as they ask and the girls thank her before quickly scampering off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~#This Is The Warmest Day Login Special|This is The Warmest Day]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts. When Yachiyo asks Iroha&#039;s opinion, Iroha expresses her love for shortcake and suggests they bake one immediately, but Yachiyo insists she wait for the right moment, which will come sooner than she thinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Autumn of Reading===&lt;br /&gt;
This seems to have been an event without story. Needs to be re-checked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Girls in the Hood===&lt;br /&gt;
* An earthquake strikes the city, and on a rooftop, Jun Kazari drops both her yo-yo and her soul gem while practicing tricks. She chases after the soul gem, while the yo-yo falls into the hood of Mitsune Miwa, a hikikomori watching a performance below. Mitsune decides to return it and runs up the stairs, where she collides with Jun. Jun explains she needs her soul gem, and Mitsune returns the yo-yo. A Witch&#039;s barrier appears around them, and Jun transforms to fight while telling Mitsune to close her eyes. Mitsune peeks, collapses after seeing the Witch die, and Jun carries her outside, claiming it was all a dream. Jun insists on treating Mitsune since she saved her yo-yo, and takes her to a candy store called Tomorrow Shop. Jun introduces her to the children there, and Mitsune is amazed by how loved Jun is. Mitsune must leave by 6 PM, and Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Girls in the Hood|Girls in the Hood]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** That evening, Mitsune admits she still cannot go to school or make friends. Jun says she also struggles with friends. Mitsune wonders if she should become a magical girl, but Jun yells at her not to. Mitsune leaves upset. Kanae warns Jun that Mitsune has the qualities to become a magical girl, and Jun reveals she is moving away from Kamihama. She used her wish to save the shop, but now realizes other things are more important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Jun tells Mitsune she is moving next week and that magical girls do not have the kind of magic Mitsune dreams of. Mitsune must make her own dreams come true. Jun promises to prove she does not need magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Jun finds that the children and Mitsune went to explore Shinsei Ward without her. She finds them at an abandoned construction site where Mitsune encountered a Witch. Mitsune sent the children away but stayed behind. Jun arrives and uses a homemade bomb to damage the Witch before they escape. A gas leak causes a larger explosion, and they escape on Kanae&#039;s motorcycle. Kanae later destroys the Witch barrier herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Jun says goodbye at the shop. Mitsune arrives crying, and Jun gives her a fake gum toy as a farewell gift.

Overwhelmed by loneliness, she cries out for her deceased rabbit Fuunii.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sent&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku wanders to a pond, where Kanagi finds her and speaks about protecting magical girls. Shizuku interprets this as a reminder that everyone leaves and excuses herself.

===The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Lavi is shopping when Nayuta finds her to share news about her math test score. They return home where Lavi prepares dinner, and Nayuta discovers Lavi earned perfect scores in every subject, highlighting the gap between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House|The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day while Lavi runs errands, Nayuta confides in Mikage about her fears that Lavi only respects her father and secretly resents serving her. Seeking answers, Nayuta visits Mitama, who suggests that kindness and broad-mindedness are the traits she needs to develop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Nayuta observes how hard Lavi works attending school, studying, handling housework, and fighting witches. Worried she might collapse, Nayuta offers Lavi time off for her upcoming sixteenth birthday and secretly plans a surprise party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later on Lavi&#039;s birthday, Nayuta and Mikage struggle through cleaning the house and preparing a celebration. Their efforts are interrupted when Lavi returns early for lunch, scolds them for the mess, but leaves again at Nayuta&#039;s insistence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Lavi returns that evening, the handmade kusudama falls onto the cake and catches fire. Lavi extinguishes it with water, and Nayuta is left mortified as her surprise party fails spectacularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Nayuta senses lingering coldness from Lavi and struggles to find the right way to apologize. Remembering her father&#039;s example, she decides to catch and cook a fish as an apology gift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day at a fishing center, Nayuta encounters girls from the Tokime clan who teach her how to gut fish. Despite being disturbed by the process, she perseveres and eventually catches the exact fish she wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning home late, Nayuta discovers a threatening letter addressed to Lavi and deduces it must be connected to the serious trouble from Lavi&#039;s hometown. She rushes to the market street with Mikage to protect her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the market street, Nayuta confronts the man speaking with Lavi, declaring herself as Satomi Tasuke&#039;s daughter to intimidate him.

** That night, Nayuta presents the cooked fish and apologizes.

===The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Magia Record Event - The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf|The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo bumps into Tsuruno on a day when school is out. Yachiyo has a job performing in a recorded drama with Sayuki that will be screened on Tanabata. Tsuruno recalls Yachiyo&#039;s poor performance in Karin&#039;s Halloween play and decides to join her to help. Yachiyo welcomes her.&lt;br /&gt;
** On set, Ria and Mayu are assisting with makeup and costumes. Yachiyo recognizes Ria, calls her by name, and praises her work, causing Ria to internally fangirl. Yachiyo grows anxious seeing so many Magical Girls gathered, recalling how a previous production with magical girls turned into a disaster. Tsuruno reassures her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wins over the production team with her exuberance. The play&#039;s co-star drops out, and the director asks Tsuruno to take the role. She eagerly accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a fairy tale about an ancient Mizuna legend. Two girls, Tsuyu and Chizuru, befriend each other despite their families&#039; rivalry and join forces to punish a selfish lord. Yachiyo plays Tsuyu, the ice queen with a heart of gold. Tsuruno plays Chizuru, the cheerful and impetuous girl. Sayuki plays the Magpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** During the script reading, everyone realizes Yachiyo&#039;s acting skills are still terrible. Yachiyo confides that she has turned down many acting jobs but accepted this one because the director begged her, even if she flops. She vows to see it through to expand her repertoire. Tsuruno promises to stay by her side.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria is in shock seeing her idol perform poorly. The filmmakers work around it by taking away Yachiyo&#039;s lines. Ria confronts Yachiyo and Tsuruno after the reading, declaring she will give Yachiyo an acting bootcamp. She does not want Yachiyo&#039;s performance to drag down her makeup work or her reputation as Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at home, Yachiyo reviews the script. Tsuruno explains the Mizuna fairy tale to the rest of Mikazuki. Felicia becomes interested when she learns there are fight scenes. Tsuruno explains that the day Tsuyu and Chizuru teamed up was Tanabata, and people in Kamihama entrust their wishes to them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next week or so, Yachiyo is drilled on acting with a professional coach and Ria&#039;s guidance. She eventually executes her lines perfectly and Ria is relieved.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sea is a Link Through Time /  The Call of the Open Sea===&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. There&#039;s two different versions at hand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Momoko and Mitama arrive at a resort near a village with a legend about a Diviner who eloped with a sailor and sank with stolen treasure. Mitama reveals they are actually there to hunt for this treasure based on a fairy tale Mikage heard. While exploring the private beach, they encounter Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao from the Tokime Clan, who stumbled there by accident. The group decides to spend the day together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|The Call of the Open Sea]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, they attend a festival in a nearby village that turns out to be a branch of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka learns the villagers consider Diviners a superstition. Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Promised Blood&#039;s base, Yuna notices her teammates have been acting strangely, as Sakuya reads romance columns, Juri studies constantly, and Urara stares at Hikaru without speaking. After the meeting, Yuna confides in Hikaru that she feels guilty for not noticing everyone&#039;s exhaustion and decides to solve each person&#039;s problems personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend. Though relieved it&#039;s not her own love life, Yuna insists on helping anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s place, the group brainstorms confession advice. The conversation shifts when Ao receives a text from her parents—she&#039;s been lying to them about her late nights as a magical girl, claiming she&#039;s in an e-sports tournament. To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the online tournament, chaos ensues as Juri attacks teammates, Hikaru sets the kitchen on fire, and Yuna fails at selling merchandise. Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the student council meeting, Yuna honestly requests more time to handle personal matters, promising to dedicate herself fully afterward. The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Onee-san, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Felicia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward. Kyubey finds a fuming Felicia, who decides to hire herself out as a mercenary to other magical girls for money or Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Felicia Mitsuki#Side Story|Felicia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia encounters Asuka and Sasara and defeats a witch for them, but they let her keep the Grief Seed and leave without paying, leaving her frustrated. Kako appears, concerned, but Felicia rejects her harshly and immediately regrets it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia helps defeat the witch and collapses from exhaustion, silently vowing to destroy every witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Touka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Hazuki and Nanaka team up with Ui to teach her how to defeat witches. Ui claims her first victory and receives a grief seed as a reward while Touka and Nemu tag along to offer congratulations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui suddenly realizes she loves the choir and wants to become a music teacher. She excitedly shares this revelation with her family and friends and resolves to work hard toward this future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art. The Amanes are relieved, and Tsukuyo suggests they play their flutes at the shrine on the way home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Both affirm that their only allies are each other, and they will always be together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends. Before Hibari&#039;s family moved away, she performed a charm ritual on Aru and promised they would meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message that Hibari is coming to visit Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After some confusion about directions, they reach the arcade where Hibari wins a crane game prize and helps Juri win one too. Hibari suddenly becomes pale and goes to get change, but she does not return. Kagome calls her and Hibari thanks her for being friends before saying goodbye, with an ambulance audible in the background.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome discovers a crowd under a Witch&#039;s Kiss heading toward a rooftop and sends emergency messages to every Magical Girl she knows. Himena&#039;s group arrives to help hold back the crowd, but other girls cannot come due to similar incidents elsewhere. Shizuka finally checks her phone and rushes over with the Tokime Clan just as someone threatens to ignite kerosene. They stop the crowd while Juri and Ao defeat the Witch with Livia&#039;s help. The Witch&#039;s Kiss is lifted and Hibari wakes up confused, with Livia covering that she collapsed from anemia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari admits she felt faint because seeing Kagome surrounded by friends made her happy but also made her feel left behind and alone. Kagome insists Hibari is wrong and promises to come running whenever Hibari is in trouble, asking them to stay best friends forever. Hibari reveals the two wishes she made when they parted came true: that she could speak her mind loudly and that Kagome would make lots of friends. They renew their promise to remain best friends forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari. They bonded over a shared love of &amp;quot;The Adventure of Mandragora.&amp;quot; Hibari gave Kagome a Mandragora plushie named Al-chan and asked to be friends. Kagome learned ventriloquism through Al-chan and grew more confident. The two became inseparable.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kagome&#039;s family moved due to her father&#039;s job transfer, Hibari put a charm on Al-chan with a secret wish. They promised to meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message from Hibari saying she will visit Kamihama. Kagome prepares to show her around.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives in Kamihama. Kagome is happy to see her. They go to the arcade. On the way, they run into Himena and her group. Kagome introduces Hibari. Later, Kagome helps Shizuka, who was lost and struggling with a foreigner. Hibari is impressed by how much Kagome has grown.&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the arcade. Hibari wins a plushie from a difficult crane game in one try. Juri, Yuna, and Ao appear. Juri asks Hibari to win a prize for her. Hibari succeeds. Juri offers a drink as thanks, but Hibari declines.&lt;br /&gt;

** A large group of people under Witch&#039;s Kisses begins heading toward a rooftop. Kagome coordinates with nearby Magical Girls for help. Himena, Shigure, Miyuri, and Yuna hold them off. Reinforcements from other Magical Girls are delayed due to incidents elsewhere. The situation grows dire.&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka finally checks her phone and sees Kagome&#039;s emergency messages. The Tokime Clan arrives and helps stop the crowd. Juri and Ao defeat the Witch. Livia appears to assist. Everyone is safe.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hibari wakes up. Livia explains she fainted due to anemia. Hibari admits she felt left behind seeing Kagome surrounded by friends. Kagome reassures Hibari that she is still immature and needs her friend. Hibari reveals her secret wishes from childhood: that Kagome would speak her mind and make many friends. They promise to remain best friends forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yuna&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna and Hikaru discuss school troubles. A girl complains about a PE teacher who measured her skirt length and made her late for class. Yuna promises to discuss the matter with the Student Council. Later, Yuna sighs about her recent troubles—adjusting school rules has led to protests from the Parents&#039; Association. She also has to deal with Ooba Juri. Hikaru pledges to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yunass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yuna Kureha#Side Story|Yuna&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* During training, Senpai notices Yuna and Hikaru are troubled. Yuna confesses her doubts about using force against Juri and about how she became Student Council President. She explains she made a wish to Kyubey to twist the minds of the Parents&#039; Association when they opposed her election. Senpai tells Yuna she is not wrong—she acted for others&#039; sake. Senpai advises her to take responsibility to the end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yunass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Yuna holds a meeting with the Parents&#039; Association and teachers to discuss school rule changes. The Parents&#039; Association opposes loosening rules on hair color and hairstyle. Yuna argues that freedom develops autonomy. Hikaru testifies that quitting her club to support Yuna&#039;s campaign improved her grades. The principal proposes a one-year trial.

* Day 4&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri struggled at school, frustrated by classmates who avoided conflict and teachers who enabled them. Her anger built up. She reflected on how she became a Magical Girl—she wished for a patient, stout heart to stay in school and not burden her father. The wish gave her patience but did not eliminate her anger; it built up as flames until she exploded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl Yuna introduced continued to spar with Juri. The girl revealed Juri had saved her from a Witch, and she admired Juri.

Juri reflected that the recent months had been the toughest. She came home late again. Her father asked about her absences. Juri said she was fighting for the future and would explain in a few months. She reflected on how much she and her father were alike, both unable to ignore past stains. She said she liked being with him, just the two of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Emiri asks what country life is like; Chiharu and Sunao give different answers from Shizuka since they are more familiar with modern living. They mention meeting only recently, surprising Emiri. Shizuka proudly explains they are bound by their duty to protect Japan, and Emiri says, “As long as you have no regrets, it’s okay.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After thinking it over, she searches for information with help from others, but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hinano explains that because the agreement fell through, local manufacturers like Kanoko’s father stayed in business, so there was little news. Chiharu and Sunao arrange a meeting at the factory and bring Shizuka. Kanoko’s father tells Shizuka his factory would have failed otherwise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Hagumu reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. After Walpurgisnacht, the organization dissolved, and many former Feathers joined the Kamihama Magia Union. Hagumu is uncertain, as she believes in Magical Girl Supremacy and cannot accept the Union&#039;s ideology of liberation without sacrifice. Shigure contacts her, asking to meet and talk. Shigure wants to convince Touka and Nemu to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Hagumu is conflicted—she cannot trust the Magius after being exploited, but she also cannot decide what to do. She asks for time to think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hagumu Azumi#Side Story|Hagumu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu meets Maria, a former Magius member who joined the Union. Maria notices Hagumu looks unwell and offers to listen. Hagumu explains her dilemma: she cannot agree with the Union&#039;s ideology, but she also cannot follow Shigure&#039;s plan. Maria suggests Hagumu ask other Magical Girls how they decided. Hagumu recalls her wish was made in haste to save a woman under a Witch&#039;s Kiss, and she regrets not choosing a better wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Moka why she joined the Union. Moka says she joined because she was invited and everyone is kind.

** Hagumu asks Yukika, a former Black Feather, why she declined the Union. Yukika says she did not want to drag others into trouble. Hagumu sees Yukika has strong convictions and follows them, unlike herself. Hagumu feels more discouraged.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches. Hagumu is moved but asks for more time to discuss it with Shigure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hagumu senses a Witch and goes to help. She sees Riko, an elementary schooler, defeating the Witch on her own.

She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Miyuri&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena, Alexandra, Hagumu, and Shigure watch as San stretches Miyuri. Miyuri&#039;s loud reactions draw attention. Himena asks about Miyuri&#039;s inline skating. Miyuri explains she started skating as a child because she was bad at running and her parents bought her skates. She fell in love with the feeling of cutting through the wind and quickly improved, eventually competing in freestyle competitions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Miyuri Yukari#Side Story|Miyuri&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s social anxiety worsened. She began experiencing panic attacks at competitions and could no longer compete. Her parents signed her up with the Hikarizuka Youth Association to help her interact with people. There, she met San for the first time. San invited her to dance practice. Miyuri fainted from overexcitement while watching San&#039;s legs. She realized she had a leg fetish and that it triggered her anxiety. She began avoiding San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s skating practice suffered. Her mother suggested she visit the Community Center. Miyuri avoided San again and went outside to practice skating alone at night. She felt free and happy while skating. San saw her dancing in the moonlight and was mesmerized. San decided she wanted to help Miyuri grow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish. San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri learned her new power shortened her experience of anxiety. She became more confident but still fainted easily. She fought Witches alone, often blacking out and going berserk. She encountered the Wings of the Magius while chasing a Witch. Her Doppel emerged. San appeared as the Instructor, defeated the Witch, and fended off the Doppel. San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training. Touka and Nemu suggested San should train Miyuri since she could still hear San&#039;s voice when unconscious. San agreed and became Miyuri&#039;s instructor. Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present) Back at the Community Center, Miyuri finishes her story. She does not regret her wish because it led her to become San&#039;s secret weapon and join Neo-Magius. Himena and the others leave, leaving San and Miyuri alone and Miyuri is mitten with San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Lavi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Lavi wakes Nayuta with the smell of natto. Mikage arrives urgently, asking to interview Lavi for her web newspaper assignment. Lavi agrees on the condition that her privacy is respected.

** Lavi goes shopping with Mikage and Nayuta. At the vegetable shop, the owner thanks Lavi for her gardening advice. A woman gives Lavi fresh eggs as thanks for organic vegetables from Lavi&#039;s grandfather. Mikage notices Lavi knows many housewives. Nayuta realizes she knows little about Lavi&#039;s past.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi explains she used to have a frail body as a child due to an unidentifiable condition. Her grandfather grew organic vegetables, which eased her symptoms. However, a severe storm destroyed the field&#039;s soil, making it impossible to grow vegetables. Lavi wished to restore the soil and became a Magical Girl. Her wish saved the field and gave hope to others. She admits her improved health was partly due to becoming a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage wants to make the newspaper more interesting, so Lavi offers to demonstrate &amp;quot;newsworthy&amp;quot; housework. She cooks lunch while Mikage records. Nayuta and Mikage try to help but ruin the dish with too much seasoning. They are distraught, but Lavi salvages it using cabbage and eggs. The meal is delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After making the newspaper, Nayuta and Mikage fall asleep. Lavi reflects on her past. She reveals that she never found joy in living despite her family&#039;s efforts. Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true. She asks for a little more time in her beloved daily life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Asahi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime Tribe holds a celebration to welcome Asahi. During introductions, Chiharu rambles excitedly about her favorite shows, and Asahi finds herself intrigued. When pressed to share more about herself, Asahi talks about hunting and the importance of minimizing suffering. That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun. Everyone apologizes, and they end the day with a shared dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Alexandra&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Re-analyze and structure this. It is a double-story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra dreams of her school days. She sees her past self smiling and realizes she is dreaming of the time she was in love. In the dream, she discusses love with Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu. Himena shares a romantic story about stargazing with Hiko. When Himena asks about their own love lives, Alexandra begins crying unexpectedly. She denies anything is wrong, but Himena apologizes for being insensitive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Alexandra Kurusu#Side Story|Alexandra&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, Alexandra&#039;s teacher appears—but he looks like Shigure. Other people appear as Himena and Hagumu. She recalls that her teacher was her math teacher and club advisor. He was strict and had a reputation for being scary. Alexandra remembers how she would complain about him with her classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After club activities, Alexandra wants to practice singing more. She goes to the rooftop and finds the teacher there. He allows her to practice under his supervision. They begin meeting regularly on the rooftop. She learns he does not smoke and is careful about his throat. He mentions that being an adult is not that great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A male classmate confesses to Alexandra. She almost accepts but pictures the teacher&#039;s face and realizes she loves someone else. She rejects the classmate. Later, it rains, and the teacher lends her his towel. She realizes she has fallen in love with him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra begins trying to appeal to the teacher daily. She asks about his relationship status and learns he is single. She indirectly describes him when talking about her type. She leaves a love letter in his shoe locker. He thinks it is a prank but recognizes her handwriting. She keeps trying to convey her feelings, but he never takes her seriously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra&#039;s behavior becomes obvious in class. She eagerly volunteers to answer questions and is overly happy when called on. Her classmates are amazed she can talk to the scary teacher so cheerfully. She learns everyone fears him. She asks why he became a teacher, and he admits his parents were teachers and he had wanted to be a singer but never pursued it. He wonders if there is any meaning to his life. Alexandra feels sorrow and wants him to be happy. She begins planning to improve his reputation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey appears and offers to grant any wish. Alexandra wants to capture the teacher&#039;s heart through her own efforts. She decides not to make a wish yet. She organizes a surprise birthday party for him with her classmates. He is genuinely happy and thanks her. He realizes she planned it. She tells him all the students respect him. He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra continues her jokes and attempts to get closer to the teacher. She jokes about marriage and asks for a date on the school trip. He unexpectedly agrees to go shopping with her for a few minutes. She hugs him in excitement. A classmate spots them on the rooftop. Rumors spread quickly. The principal calls the teacher in. He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra cannot wake up from the dream. She imagines the teacher scolding her for playing with his feelings. She decides she needs to apologize in real life. She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love. She tells him her feelings were not a deception—they were true love. She thanks him for a wonderful time and says she now only places her faith in Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Urara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara volunteers to do grocery shopping for Lavi. At the supermarket, she gets distracted by flash sales and buys beef, bean sprouts, and curry ingredients. She forgets Lavi&#039;s shopping list. Lavi forgives her but asks her to be more self-controlled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Urara Yume#Side Story|Urara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Urara announces she is returning to Yukuni to quit her talent agency. Lavi insists on accompanying her for safety due to the Magical Girl eradication faction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara and Lavi travel to Yukuni. Urara loses her wallet, but Lavi finds it. At the agency, Urara&#039;s manager asks her to coach a children&#039;s diabolo class as a final job. Urara accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the diabolo class, Urara teaches the class alone. Some children struggle to follow her teaching style. Lavi, Alexandra, and Asahi watch from a distance. During lunch, Urara admits she cannot explain techniques well. Lavi analyzes the wrist angles and timing, and the others offer to help. The class is a success.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Urara feels inadequate and misses her former partner, Kurara. She remembers Kurara was better at teaching. Lavi notices Urara is depressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Several days later, Urara returns to Yukuni to pick up her resignation papers. Lavi accompanies her. Urara admits she misses Kurara. Lavi warns her that reconciliation is unlikely, but Urara insists on trying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the agency, Urara confronts Kurara. Kurara reveals she always resented being compared to Urara&#039;s natural talent and felt like &amp;quot;Not-Urara.&amp;quot; She says breaking up the duo was for the best and asks Urara to stop involving herself. Urara is devastated. She returns to Kamihama and cries to Lavi, who comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Urara receives a message from her manager. A girl named Rei from the diabolo class wants more lessons. Urara agrees to meet her. Rei wants to learn the &amp;quot;Urara Special&amp;quot; to beat a prodigy her age. Urara remembers how she unknowingly hurt Kurara by copying her tricks too easily. She decides to coach Rei properly. Lavi offers to stay and help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara and Rei practice together. Lavi advises on timing. Rei successfully performs the trick. Urara tells her to remember the joy of performing, not just winning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rei competes and wins her first cup by performing the Urara Special, a trick even the prodigy could not do. Rei thanks Urara. Urara realizes that coaching helped her grow and face her regrets about Kurara. Rei asks Urara to be her permanent coach. Urara agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara returns to the Folklore base. She announces she will continue coaching diabolo classes. She wants to pass down her goal of making people smile through diabolo acts to the next generation. Lavi and the others support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nayuta&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta dreams of proving folkloric studies superior to Touka, but Lavi wakes her with obnoxious humming. Lavi scolds her for being a deep sleeper and rushes her to school in Takarazaki City, where Nayuta complains that Lavi acts like a stern stepmother rather than a kind maid her age.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In class, a self‑assessment exercise has Nayuta describe herself as quiet and diligent, but her peers call her stubborn, someone who hates losing and speaks her mind. She reluctantly accepts “stubborn” fits her persistent search for her father. The teacher introduces the Johari Window, explaining that without communication people understand themselves at most fifty percent and others only twenty‑five percent—a lesson that sticks with Nayuta.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Nayuta meets Iroha at the train station. Both are surprised the other remembers them. They discover they are the same grade and both hail from Takarazaki, and Iroha mentions she also searched for a lost loved one. Nayuta requests to see Yachiyo, apologizing for her bluntness. Iroha reassures her, noting they are both stubborn junior‑high girls from Takarazaki who came to Kamihama to find someone important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Yachiyo has no new information about Nayuta’s father. Tsuruno has Nayuta show a photo, but no one recognizes him. Felicia suggests Nayuta simply ask Touka, since she also grew up at Satomi Medical Center. Nayuta refuses, saying she cannot trust Touka, and apologizes for her stubbornness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Nayuta admits to Lavi she slept poorly because she cannot stop thinking about Touka. Mikage arrives, upset after a fight with Sudachi: Mikage complained about school, Sudachi said she envied Mikage for being able to attend, and they argued over whose position was harder.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home. Lavi approves of her standing her ground, and Nayuta realizes she and Lavi are more alike than she thought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory.

Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any.

* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They exchange a look and agree to treat her for one day. Mikage expresses her hope that someday she and Sudachi can play with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yozuru plays piano at a pharmacist’s request, impressing everyone, then meets Livia Medeiros and Sudachi Sawa. Sudachi exposes Mifuyu, who decides to introduce herself directly. Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yozuru replies that her mother trained her to face worse and declares she will live to the fullest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited again. She jokes about the visitor&#039;s persistence. Yozuru and Sudachi return from stocking up on essentials. Sudachi trips, and Yozuru hesitates to help. Livia instructs Yozuru to help Sudachi stand and dust her off. Yozuru apologizes and explains she is not equipped with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the trailer, Yozuru offers tea. Sudachi wants teacakes. Livia allows them to have some as a treat. Livia reflects that she needs to help the girls mature. Yozuru has lost compassion, while Sudachi needs to find her words. Livia believes they will complement each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is found sleeping and crying. Yozuru gives her a handkerchief. Livia says crying in sleep happens occasionally and is common among Coordinators. She thanks Sudachi for finding her dropped ring. Sudachi sulks when Livia refuses to give her sweets as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the ring is a treasure and a way of reprimanding herself. It is the reason she lives for &amp;quot;Mister Sun.&amp;quot; She says she may tell the full story another time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia shares her philosophy: no matter how awful life is, do not drift in a bad direction or relieve resentment with a curse. Magical Girls are born from hope and must overcome struggles with hope. She warns against corrupting purity and urges supporting those with pure hearts. She says she has said enough for now and will share the rest when she is ready. She asks the visitor to promise to live strong, face forward, and not end up like her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After the battle, Nanaka explains Lil&#039; Kyubey followed her into the labyrinth and returned a flower she dropped. Nanaka asks Ryo to tell Lil&#039; Kyubey to stop visiting unfriendly Magical Girls. Ryo realizes Lil&#039; Kyubey avoids girls with potential and is not soliciting anyone. She writes an article correcting her earlier suspicions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices.

* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Two days later, Sasara meets Kyubey and when he makes his offer, Sasara accepts without hesitation. As her father works for an emergency rescue squad, a job she admires, he gave her a favorite picture book about a knight who defeats a dragon to save a village. Sasara carries this book everywhere and has always wanted to be like her father and the knight. She wishes to become a knight who can protect and save people, asking for a stronger heart and stronger convictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Sasara has been hunting witches and saving their victims ever since making her contract.

Sasara realizes she wants someone to appreciate her and questions whether she really wanted to become a knight at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book.

When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform. She decided to lay the Soul Gem with its owner&#039;s body, and when she placed the gem in the girl&#039;s hands, the girl began breathing again. Later, Kyubey explained that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Kyubey asks if Nanaka will tell the others this secret, but she says she is waiting for the right moment. Nanaka then reflects that her true revenge target is actually Kyubey himself. Her power makes it clear he is her enemy, though she does not know all the details, and she is waiting for the right time to turn against him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Nanaka&#039;s team is still unable to find the witch. Akira reports meeting a magical girl mercenary. As the girls plan their next move, Nanaka muses about how she is gathering the determination of magical girls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuku enjoys time with her friends but feels disconnected from them and uncertain about her future. She finds comfort in Fūnī, a traveler who visits her family&#039;s cafe and shares his dream of finding a place to belong. When he invites her to search with him, she feels hopeful that she will not be alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* As a magical girl, Shizuku gains the power to connect spaces, allowing her to travel the world much like Fūnī once did. She continues her search, taking jobs from an unknown magical girl who pays her to use her power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day after a job, Yachiyo Nanami, Tsuruno Yui, and Iroha Tamaki approach her. Iroha invites Shizuku to their house, where she meets Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba. She stays for dinner and overnight, observing how the five girls live together like a family. Yachiyo invites her to stay as long as she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku realizes the other girls have found their place to belong, but she understands that her own place was with Fūnī. She cries as his last words finally make sense to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, Shizuku ends her arrangement with the unknown magical girl and returns to Yachiyo&#039;s house, hoping she can stay there. When she arrives, the house is empty, and she sees the personal items that mark each girl&#039;s place. Overhearing them return, she realizes their home is complete with five people and she does not belong there. She leaves quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and the others had prepared a welcome party with cake, but Shizuku never comes. Yachiyo senses that Shizuku might disappear if you look away and admits she should have seen this coming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku returns to the unknown magical girl and asks for more work. When asked why she came back, she says their picture was complete with five people and she must keep searching for where she belongs. She mentally apologizes to Yachiyo, knowing her actions will cause disaster but feeling unprepared to take responsibility. She wonders if she will ever find solid ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Akira wakes from a dream about being attacked by a familiar and finds Sasara Minagi nearby, who is out for a walk. Sasara offers to help Akira search for an old man&#039;s lost cane, recalling she saw children playing with a red cane, and the two head off together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akira Shinobu#Side Story|Akira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akira reflects on her upbringing in her father&#039;s karate dojo, where she learned to always help those in need and earned the neighborhood nickname &amp;quot;Troubleshooter&amp;quot; starting at age six.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira started middle school, a girl asked her to be a bodyguard against a stalker. The girl brought her to a park, confessed her love, and admitted to lying about the stalker. Akira politely rejected her, saying she didn&#039;t know much about that sort of thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Akira learned the girl had vanished and spent days searching for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day Akira found the barrier, she retraced the girl&#039;s steps in the park and stepped into a witch&#039;s labyrinth. She found the missing girl among blank-faced victims marked by a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Kyubey appeared, explained about witches and magical girls, and offered a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Familiars attacked and overwhelmed her despite her karate training. Injured, Akira wished to save all those people, transformed, and destroyed the familiars.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, none of the victims remembered the incident. Kyubey told Akira she needed to defeat the witch itself, which became her destiny as a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a magical girl, Akira patrolled Kamihama investigating witch-related incidents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day, she encountered a familiar without transforming and dropped her Soul Gem. Unable to retrieve it, she fled the barrier and collapsed unconscious outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira woke, Nanaka Tokiwa introduced herself as the magical girl who found her and picked up her Soul Gem. Nanaka advised withdrawing since Akira had collapsed, and Akira reluctantly agreed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Nanaka called asking for a favor. When they met again, Nanaka requested a duel, claiming Akira was weak and should quit hunting witches. Akira refused, citing her family&#039;s dojo, and they dueled. After some fighting, Nanaka ended the duel and apologized. She explained she wanted to test Akira&#039;s resolve and invited her to work together as a team. Akira relented after Nanaka claimed she was troubled and couldn&#039;t fight witches alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present day, Akira returns the cane to the old man and thanks Sasara. She reflects on meeting many magical girls since joining Nanaka and wonders how many exist in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kyubey observes Manaka cooking at her family&#039;s failing restaurant, Walnuts. She dreams of following her father&#039;s footsteps as a chef and believes that gaining admission to the prestigious St. Lillianna Academy will help her cook like a high class lady and restore the restaurant&#039;s popularity. Kyubey notes her poor grades make passing unlikely, but Manaka insists this is her father&#039;s last chance and resolves to study.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Manaka Kurumi#Side Story|Manaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Upon starting at Mizuna, Manaka visits the student council and offers to cook for an upcoming joint assembly with St. Lillian. The council dismisses her, explaining they already arranged a chef.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Walking home, Kyubey again offers a contract. Fed up, Manaka accepts but wishes not for the restaurant&#039;s success, but for a chance to spread their restaurant&#039;s flavors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the assembly, Manaka begins selling popular bentos at school and works as a visiting chef at St. Lillian every Thursday.

Meanwhile, her father receives invitations to tour as a chef and seems genuinely happy traveling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt; Manaka questions why she even bothered trying.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Manaka finishes selling bentos and keeps one for herself. Sana Futaba rushes in, upset at arriving too late.

Sana accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana promises to arrive earlier tomorrow, but Manaka reveals this may be her last day selling bentos. She admits she thinks she made her restaurant even more obscure, and if she is not helping it, she sees no point in cooking. Sana tearfully confesses that Manaka&#039;s bentos became the only thing she looked forward to during lonely lunch breaks. She insists Manaka should not quit because she is still making people happy. Seeing Sana smile gives Manaka new motivation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After contracts of: Kako, Manaka&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A documentary crew follows Ria Ami, whose natural beauty causes crowds to part, though she admits she has no basis for comparison when asked about her challenges. Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ria asks Manaka to be her bodyguard while buying the magazine featuring her article, wearing sunglasses to avoid being seen. Inside, she discovers her article occupies only one page, while Yachiyo has an eight-page spread.

** Sakuya, Yuna, and Hikaru discuss Sakuya&#039;s problem. Yuna deduces Sakuya is unsatisfied because she cannot compete meaningfully—using magic makes her times inhuman, so she feels her achievements are not truly hers. Sakuya admits track is everything to her; she used her wish to allow her team to compete after a violent incident got them suspended. Yuna suggests Sakuya might find accomplishment through coaching others, using her experience to help them grow. A Witch appears, and they fight.

** Nearby, Rika defeats a Witch and sees Ren about to jump. She saves her and asks why she wants to die. Ren cannot answer. She reflects on her childhood: she has always had trouble speaking and was teased and bullied for it. She attempted suicide once before but was scared of dying. Kyubey appeared and granted her wish to live.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explained that the bullying was caused by a Witch&#039;s influence—Witches hurt people, who then hurt others. Ren resolved to destroy Witches to create a better world. However, no matter how many Witches she defeated, people still acted cruelly. Kyubey told her that even destroying all Witches would not remove malice from people&#039;s hearts. This is why Ren wanted to die again, but she cannot explain any of this to Rika.&lt;br /&gt;

Emiri leaves, and Rika admits she never actually listened to Ren&#039;s problem.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika shares her own story: she wished for someone she loved to love her back, even though that person already liked someone else. She says she stole that love with a selfish wish and asks Ren if she thinks she is a horrible person. Ren manages to say she does not think so. Rika is relieved. She explains that to get others to open up, you must share the secrets that create distance.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren tries to tell her story but cannot get the words out and begins crying. Rika tells her not to force herself. She shows Ren all the gifts she received from the others and says that if all these people were thinking about her, she should continue to live. She says the world is filled with both bad and beautiful things, and the most painful thing is to have nothing. Ren says she will live. Rika leaves, and Ren thanks her.

She makes a disastrous meal incorporating everything she read, and Hazuki collapses after tasting it.

Meiyui proposes a first-come, first-served rule, but Hazuki points out it would lead to disputes over who arrived first. Ayame suggests settling conflicts with rock-paper-scissors, and though Meiyui argues there&#039;s no time for games in battle, Hazuki has them try it on the spot. When Ayame and Meiyui play, Meiyui uses a martial arts technique to change Ayame&#039;s hand, causing an argument between the groups.

* The next day, the girls reconvene at the restaurant. Hazuki proposes a new rule: anyone who uses magic against a Witch gains proportional rights to the Grief Seed. Both teams agree, and Hazuki suggests they gather data by hunting together. They split into mixed teams—Ayame and Kako form one; Hazuki, Akira, and Meiyui another and Konoha and Nanaka stand by to help as needed. After the successful joint hunt, Nanaka meets with Hazuki alone at the restaurant. She reveals she believes Hazuki manipulated the entire situation from the first meeting, noting that her team was impressed with Hazuki&#039;s group&#039;s teamwork but that she herself was more struck by Hazuki&#039;s modus operandi. Nanaka asks why Hazuki orchestrated everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Frustrated by losing to Felicia specifically, Ayame confronts her afterward, and despite Kako&#039;s attempts to mediate, the two insist on settling things through some competition. Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch.

* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead. The Witch targets Kokoro, and Masara injures herself by blocking the attack. The Witch escapes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro apologizes, but Masara claims she only did what was most logical, since the Witch could not have been defeated alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Masara keeps flashing back to the moment the Witch attacked Kokoro whenever she looks at her injury. The recurring memory bothers her, though she does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Kokoro offers to hunt the Witch again with Masara. Masara flashes back to the previous fight and insists she will hunt it alone. She tells Kokoro she is a burden and that she does not like getting hurt. Masara leaves Kokoro crying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara tells Mitama what happened. Mitama suggests Masara was actually trying to protect Kokoro. Masara is at a loss and wonders why being around Kokoro causes her to get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro blames herself for causing Masara trouble. She senses the same Witch and, respecting Masara&#039;s wish to hunt alone, decides to fight it by herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help. Masara agrees and tells Kokoro to call her next time. When Kokoro worries about causing trouble, Masara insists she is doing it for herself, because she does not like seeing Kokoro get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro asks if she can call Masara during lunch. Masara says she does not care either way. The two go to Mitama&#039;s place together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro notices the summer festival flyer and asks if Masara is interested. Masara admits she is a little interested. Mitama laughs and says they can look forward to the future when there is something or someone important. Kokoro and Masara are confused by her comment, which exasperates Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks to herself that Masara will become stronger now that she has something to protect. For the first time, Masara finds herself thinking about the future, though she does not know why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Konomi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi welcomes Kaede and Kako to the flower shop where she works part-time. She began working at Blossom because the florist once comforted her as a crying child with a single flower, and now Konomi does the same for other children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konomi Haruna#Side Story|Konomi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a customer leaves, Kaede and Kako help the florist carry supplies. The florist recently returned from the hospital, having survived a serious illness. Konomi remembers the day she found an ambulance outside and learned the shop might close. Desperate to help, she wished to Kyubey to cure the florist&#039;s illness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;!--The Flashback: Their First Meeting--&amp;gt;Kaede and Kako visit the shop for the first time. Kako searches for a specific flower, which Konomi identifies. During tea break, Kako explains she read about the flowers in a novel and wants to buy some for a friend&#039;s birthday. Kaede admits she has never given flowers but receiving them once felt wonderful. Konomi smiles and says she has an idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of the flower giveaway, Konomi, Kaede, and Kako take to the streets, suddenly appearing to hand bouquets to strangers before disappearing. A lottery winner, a despairing old man, and a boy who just got a girl&#039;s number all receive flowers. Later, the girls reunite. Kaede gave to ten people, Kako to thirteen. Konomi apologizes, but they agree to try again the day after tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Konomi, Kaede, and Kako realize they are the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi panics, fearing they have made people hate flowers. They notice a little girl crying because her mother refused to buy her a toy ring. Konomi offers a flower, but the girl wants a ring. Kako fashions the flower into a ring, and the girl calls it pretty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi realizes they have been giving flowers without understanding what recipients truly want. She decides to create something more meaningful. Inspired by Kaede&#039;s mention of birthday flowers and Kako&#039;s knowledge of flower language, they plan an arrangement that speaks to people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi and the girls create a birthday cake made of fifty flowers, with chocolate and candy inside. The cake incorporates birth flowers so greetings can be communicated through their language. They prepare a fair at the shop to showcase it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi shows the cake to the florist, who gives a muted reaction and announces her retirement, planning to leave Konomi the shop.

The three girls reveal they are Magical Girls, track down the Witch, and destroy it together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Hinano, Emiri, Ria, Manaka, Akira&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Rika is invited to a blind date by Emiri Kisaki, who brings along Hinano Miyako, a girl recently heartbroken. When the boys on the date mock Hinano&#039;s youthful appearance and odd way of speaking, Rika surprises her by defending them. Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her. Emiri and Rika quickly reassure Hinano, with Rika adding that Hinano is actually cool for having been able to confess her feelings—unlike Rika, who never confessed at all and watched her crush end up with someone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri then suggests Rika should make a wish, revealing that she and Hinano are magical girls who each received one wish in exchange for fighting monsters. Rika wonders if this is some kind of game. Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika muses that her wish was granted and she is now dating her crush, yet she feels deeply unhappy. When Kyubey asks what is wrong, she admits that every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens with unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mayu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mayu is a third-year student at Mizuna Academy who works part-time at the Kamihama Contemporary Art Museum. When she accidentally breaks the museum director&#039;s cup, her boss handles the situation calmly and kindly. After work, she meets her friend Sayuki Fumino outside the museum, and when Sayuki cannot stay, Mayu&#039;s boss offers to accompany her to an exhibit instead. They later go to a cafe, where Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi are also present. Ria grows increasingly annoyed overhearing Mayu&#039;s conversation with her boss, particularly when he hints at wanting to take her somewhere else and praises her cooking. At home that evening, Mayu cooks for her mother and asks if her father would have eaten her cooking, wondering what life would be like if he were still alive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayu Kozue#Side Story|Mayu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at school, Mayu talks with Sayuki about the sword exhibit. She then heads to work, and after her shift ends, her boss mentions his wife and child are away and invites her out to eat. Mayu declines. As she leaves, she forgets her phone, and her boss rushes to return it, asking again about dinner with growing intensity. Ria suddenly appears and bumps into him, yelling at them for flirting and demanding they sit for a lecture. Mayu&#039;s boss says she ruined it and leaves. Ria warns Mayu that her sweet, innocent air attracts older men and that if things continue, his family will fall apart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home that night, Mayu reflects on the day she learned of her father&#039;s death and on Ria&#039;s words. Kyubey appears and offers a contract. Thinking she does not want her boss&#039;s family to suffer the same hardship her family did, Mayu makes her wish: to stop his family from breaking apart. That night, she narrates that her boss transferred to a new job, and she is sure her wish was granted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later at school, Mayu finds boys have started hitting on her. Ria constantly steps in to drive them off. Before Ria can finish telling Mayu to shape up, they both sense a Witch. The girls reveal they are Magical Girls, and they track the Witch to the museum&#039;s special exhibit room. Sayuki suddenly appears and reveals she is also a Magical Girl. During the fight, Mayu notices the Witch only targets Ria. She asks Sayuki to lend her strength and launches a surprise attack, destroying the Witch. Afterward, Mayu thinks that to protect people she must think clearly before acting, and Ria admits Mayu was more reliable than usual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As a child, Sayuki attends an idol performance with her parents, but when the crowd becomes dangerously wild, she is almost squeezed to death, leaving her with lasting trauma.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayuki Fumino#Side Story|Sayuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Growing up in a happy family, Sayuki develops a deep interest in katanas that creates a gap between her and her classmates. Though they respect her passion, she feels lonely without someone to share it with. This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert. Sayuki believes speaking out is important no matter the outcome and swears to protect the kind people who have been kind to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka. Moka thanks Alina for saving her and says she has now made new friends, resolving to devote herself to exterminating witches and admitting she is only a little afraid of them now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They grew as close as sisters until Sis became engaged to marry someone far away. When Sis&#039;s father suddenly opposed the match despite approving it before, Riko wished upon Kyubey that everyone would give their blessings to the marriage. Her wish worked, and Sis moved away happily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Riko Chiaki#Side Story|Riko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She snaps, calls them liars who were never there for her like Sis was, and tells them she hates them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko goes Witch hunting to vent her stress but nearly dies against a stronger Witch. In that moment, despair crushes her and she wishes she had never made her wish so Sis would still be there. Tsukasa, a regular at her family&#039;s shop, finds her crying and listens as Riko confides everything about her feelings and what happened with Sis. Speaking from experience, Tsukasa tells her that separation is no excuse for broken contact and recommends she reach out to Sis directly.

When Riko asks her parents for permission, expecting them to refuse, they apologize sincerely and grant permission for the trip.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work. Maria suggests she spend a day with Shin to reconnect, and Shin’s mother agrees.

She watches as they struggle to connect: Shin wants to play in a fountain, but his mother cannot explain why he should not, and they end up standing awkwardly. Maria pretends to run into them and decides to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to the playground, where Maria encourages Shin to try a tightrope bridge. When he gets nervous, she prompts his mother to take his hand, and together they cross. After lunch, Shin’s mother gets a call from work asking her to come in on her day off. She agrees, and Shin looks heartbroken. Maria offers to watch Shin until dark, and his mother gratefully accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria takes Shin to various places, and he sadly remarks that his mother is too busy for him. Understanding his loneliness, Maria vows to make the day special. At the aquarium she convinces him to see a show he ends up loving. As evening falls, they stop for takoyaki, and Maria explains that his mother tells him not to eat while walking for good reasons. Shin finally understands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shin’s mother appears, explaining work no longer needs her. She admits she has trouble expressing herself, but Shin overhears and hugs her. They both confess they thought the other did not love them. Maria shares that she was often lonely as a child but still loved her parents, and she tells Shin’s mother she does not need to be perfect. Shin shows his mother the souvenir and the last piece of takoyaki he saved for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As darkness falls, Maria walks home alone. She reflects on whether she could ever be a good mother, remembering Kyubey’s revelation that her Soul Gem is her actual soul and her body is merely a vessel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mel&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mel stays home after her reading warns of lethal danger, but Kanagi dismisses her concerns and drags her to school anyway. On the way, a Witch targets only Mel before escaping, and a possessed car then attempts to run her down. She flees west into the Mizuno region, where Yachiyo saves her. Despite Kanagi&#039;s warnings about discrimination from the West, Yachiyo&#039;s kindness puts her at ease, and Mel accepts her invitation to stay. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she requests to join Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kanagi gives permission. From that day, Mel bonds with Mifuyu, Tsuruno, and Momoko as part of her new team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One other day, Mel arrives excitedly with entirely positive readings and offers to read the team&#039;s fortunes. Despite Yachiyo&#039;s skepticism, Mel coaxes her into a session predicting a career breakthrough.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Yachiyo announces with disbelief that she was chosen for a nationwide magazine feature on Kamihama&#039;s cafes. Mifuyu and Momoko then receive positive readings about a matchmaking and exam results.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes. Afterward they visit Mitama, who suggests they train in Endless Mirrors if they plan to remain independent rather than join Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Temari and Mikura commute to school exhausted. Temari stayed up testing a new metal pen, and Mikura correctly guesses she is in modern literature mode.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Temari is distracted thinking about Witch strategies while Mikura worries about Seira, who had fallen asleep in class from exhaustion. Seira joins them, and Temari suggests they create their own space to escape the stress of magical girl life. Seira proposes forming a school club where they can pursue their hobbies freely, and they agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Seira secures an empty classroom as a provisional club room under the name Historical Research Club. On paper they study history, but in reality it becomes their oasis for reading, watching films, and relaxing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the girls are enjoying their club activities, yet Temari still feels unsettled about not knowing her magic. Mikura reflects that they have been following Temari’s suggestions lately—staying independent, creating the club—but says she will mention it if she notices anything. When Mikura asks what Temari is reading, Temari replies she is still on the same author, and Mikura calls her as unpredictable as ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hotori&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Last part is after the tea drinking moon party&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hotori and her twin Rion prepare for a school camping trip. Hotori gets distracted watching her favorite sentai show, Dragoon Red, and Rion teases her for still liking children’s fantasy. Hotori wants to bring her notebook of heroic quotes, but Rion tells her not to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At school, Rion tries to stay with Hotori and gets scolded by the teacher. Hotori is relieved to have time away from her sister. Her classmates notice her notebook and encourage her to become who she wants to be.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At camp, Hotori’s group hikes through the forest. She is frightened by insects, and when Rion appears and drives her friends away, Hotori ends up scolded for letting her sister interfere. Reading quotes from her heroes, she manages to calm herself and finishes the hike feeling she has changed a little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During archery, Hotori struggles to pull the bowstring but remembers Dragoon Red’s words about perseverance and manages to shoot. Rion performs better, but Hotori’s friends cheer her up. Rion later mentions the night’s test of courage, and though Hotori is scared, she refuses to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the test, Hotori freezes after a scare. Rion mocks her and escorts her to the finish line. There Hotori realizes she left her notebook behind; Rion goes back to retrieve it but does not return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotori lies to the teachers and searches the forest. She finds Kyubey, who offers her a contract: any wish in exchange for becoming a magical girl who fights witches. When she finds Rion acting strangely, Kyubey explains Rion has a witch’s kiss. Rion enters a witch’s barrier, and Hotori follows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Terrified but thinking of Dragoon Red’s words, Hotori makes her wish: “I wish to be a hero strong enough to protect Rion.” She defeats the witch alone, saves Rion, and is relieved when her sister wakes up safe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Months later, Hotori now fights witches with a team. During one battle she freezes and is saved by Rion and Yukika Nanase. Yukika asks about Hotori’s notebook, and Hotori explains she wants to be brave like the sentai heroes. Yukika privately knows the truth from another timeline: the twins’ memories were altered by Rion’s wish, and Hotori’s original wish may have been to become strong enough to protect Rion. Hotori, unaware, continues striving to be a hero.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Meguru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Meguru joins the Broadcasting Club, but her senpais later announce it will close due to low membership. Though she feigns indifference, she secretly wants the club to remain so she can pursue her dream of becoming a popular MC. When Kyubey appears, she wishes to become a popular mistress of ceremonies in exchange for becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After her wish, she discovers she can narrate events with unusual power, accidentally motivating classmates. She is drawn into a witch’s labyrinth and rescued by Momoko Togame, who takes her to Mitama Yakumo. Momoko suspects Meguru’s magic strengthened the witch. Mitama asks Meguru to act as MC for an event in the Mirror Witch’s barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the barrier, Meguru narrates battles for Tsuruno Yui, Meiyui Chun, and Akira Shinobu, but her words also empower their mirror copies. After struggling to control her magic, she successfully motivates the originals to win. The group agrees she has a gift for motivating others, though they must flee when more copies appear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Meguru’s senpais decide to promote her involvement as a club activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Later, Kyubey asks why she wanted to be an MC. Meguru explains she admired many fields but never excelled until now, and she thanks him. She learns she only gets one wish, but she is confident she will meet amazing people on her own.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Eternal Sakura begins as a story Iroha tells to Ui, Touka, and Nemu at the hospital—a tale of a girl waiting by a sakura tree to reunite with her three friends. Nemu loves it so much she writes it down, naming it the Eternal Sakura of Promises. That is Sakura&#039;s beginning, though she is only words in a notebook.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Nemu moves the Eternal Sakura and many other stories into a different book, rewriting them as Rumors and breathing her own lifeforce into them. They become real beings, freed but also bound to their rumors. Time passes, and the Eternal Sakura watches as other Rumors are destroyed. She alone keeps her physical form. When Walpurgisnacht attacks and the crisis ends, Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu finally come to her meadow, reunited at last. The sakura tree bursts into bloom. All the Rumors now live together in Nemu&#039;s book, with the Eternal Sakura as the only one who can venture outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu eventually summons the Eternal Sakura and offers to rewrite her rumor so she can leave the meadow. Touka has prepared an internet server for her to download information needed to live among humans. In exchange, they will ask her for a favor later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime after the Dreaming Cherry Blossom event, the Eternal Sakura arrives at Mikazuki Villa as Sakurako Hiiragi, a Rumor given human form. Touka asks Iroha to care for her for three days so she can learn through practice. Yachiyo agrees after Ui begs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On her first day, Sakurako cooks lunch that everyone declares the best they have ever tried. That night, she scores perfectly on homework and offers to tutor Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The following day, they go to the mall. At the arcade, a man knocks Ui down and blames her. Sakurako hits him, demanding an apology, and when he refuses she hits him again, declaring she will end all enemies of Ui. Iroha stops her and they return home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells Sakurako she is glad she defended Ui but should not hurt others. Sakurako transforms into her battle form, showing the power she wields to protect the four girls. Iroha asks her to promise not to use it except against Witches or real danger. Sakurako promises.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Mifuyu arrives with Touka and Nemu to pick her up. They have arranged for her to attend Minagi Freedom School, where she will not know anyone. Yachiyo agrees it is best for her to keep some distance from Iroha and Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At her new school, Sakurako meets Hinano Miyako, who warns her not to mention being a Rumor in class. During introductions, Sakurako announces she is here to learn about human society, is technically zero years old, and has been assigned an age to match her appearance. The students think she is weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Between classes, Hinano checks on her. Sakurako finds school boring and misses Iroha. Hinano suggests making friends would make school more fun, but Sakurako does not understand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During class, Sakurako announces she is bored and leaves to see Iroha. Ryo Midori from the school newspaper photographs her, but Sakurako runs off. She finds Iroha, who is angry she cut class. Iroha explains her actions cause problems for many people, including Touka. Sakurako promises to attend tomorrow, though she still finds school boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Akari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari wakes Hotaru after school. Hotaru notices Akari&#039;s Puchi-Usa keychain, which Haruto drew for her when she was young. Akari decides to tell Hotaru about her wish and how she became a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akari Mai#Side Story|Akari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari explains that she has always loved Haruto, but he treats her only as a little sister. When Haruto entered high school, he stopped walking with her due to club activities. Akari heard a rumor that Haruto was dating his club manager. Distressed, she wished to Kyubey to become 16 years old like Mimiko-chan, the transforming heroine she admired.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her wish only allowed her to transform temporarily. She turned back into an elementary schooler afterward. Akari regretted not wishing for everyone to perceive her as 16 from the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Akari patrolled for Witches and found Haruto under a Witch&#039;s Kiss. She saved him in her 16-year-old form. Haruto did not recognize her and thanked her as a stranger. He gave her his jacket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari returned Haruto&#039;s jacket, claiming a stranger asked her to return it. Haruto admitted he had fallen in love with the girl who saved him—not realizing it was Akari.

* The bunny Nene died. Akari cried. Haruto came to give her a new Puchi-Usa keychain but hid it when he saw her crying. He comforted her and told her it was okay to cry. Akari loved his kindness and subtle thoughtfulness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari ran into Haruto while patrolling. Haruto was looking for the 16-year-old girl. Akari became jealous and badmouthed her 16-year-old self, calling her suspicious and a liar. Haruto got angry at Akari for speaking ill of someone she did not know. Akari ran away, feeling she was not worthy of him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari hid in an alley. Haruto came looking for her. A Witch appeared, and Haruto was under another Witch&#039;s Kiss. Hotaru appeared and caught Haruto with a pillow before he could jump. Hotaru and Akari defeated the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotaru revealed she had been watching over Akari since the bunny hutch. She told Akari that her kindness was one of her good points. Akari realized the 16-year-old version Haruto fell for was still a part of her. Hotaru encouraged her to apologize properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari, still in her 16-year-old form, lied to Haruto that she had taken Akari under her protection. Haruto was relieved and admitted he was too harsh with Akari. He said he did not want her to become someone who speaks ill of others. Akari apologized to Haruto in person. Haruto forgave her and said he was proud of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari resolved to become a wonderful adult on her own, without magic, and capture Haruto&#039;s heart when she was truly 16. She thanked Hotaru for giving her the push to apologize but Hotaru fell asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ryoko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryoko’s story begins at Suitoku Temple, the Tokime Tribe’s base, which was slated for demolition while officials hid the harm it would cause.

Raised by her grandfather in a strict Buddhist temple, she is told her mother was a hero who saved the country yet died and left her behind. Ryoko grows to resent heroism, viewing it as empty fame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Her cynicism is tested when Moka Megumi tries to save a drowning kitten despite being unable to swim. Ryoko rescues her and asks why; Moka says she simply cannot stand someone dying on her watch.

===Kush&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama’s adjuster shop, Karin Misono finds Kush sleeping inside the tent. Mitama explains that Kush cannot stay awake during the day due to her wish: “I just want the morning to never come.” Kush reveals she made her wish because she longed to live in a fantasy world like the one in her favorite book, &#039;Good‑Bye Fable,&#039; and her magical girl outfit resembles the story’s protagonist. Ui Tamaki and Little Kyubey arrive, and Kush briefly attacks Little Kyubey, mistaking him for the Kyubey she despises. Over tea, Mitama notices Kush’s long canine teeth stained red and later receives a message from her sister Mikage about a rumor of a vampire girl in the Hokuyo Mountains. Karin and Kush agree to investigate together, but Kush runs off to her night class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, the two meet up with Riko Chiaki and Ashley Taylor, who are making a horror video about the same rumor. The group searches the mountains at night. Kush can see in the dark and leads them, but she is still sleepy. They find a discarded camera containing a video of Rui Mizuki dropping it and disappearing. When a mysterious sound frightens the others, they accidentally leave Kush behind. Left alone, Kush eats cherry tomatoes and senses a witch. The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one. They also learn that Rui is Kush’s friend; she had filmed Kush entering the barrier before being caught by it. The group later glimpses a white‑haired silhouette and flees, thinking a real vampire might exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley posts a video warning others to stay away from the mountains. At Mitama’s shop, Ui hears about the incident and learns the vampire was just a misunderstanding.

===Homura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Homura Akemi in Magia Record#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is flooded with more memories of her other self preparing for Walpurgisnacht with allies. She wonders if there might be a real possibility for salvation in this timeline, where no one has to be sacrificed. However, she believes it has nothing to do with her. She breaks out of the labyrinth and the dream ends. Kyubey asks if she was curious about what happened to her other self. Homura says it does not matter; she believes in Madoka&#039;s words that her efforts will not be in vain. A new universe is about to be born, and Homura must protect it for Madoka&#039;s sake. Kyubey states they will both forget Madoka, but Homura is determined to never forget her.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new universe where Witches do not exist, Kyoko is surprised to find Sayaka has disappeared. Mami explains the Law of Cycles causes Magical Girls to disappear when they lose hope. Homura cries as she remembers Madoka, but neither Mami nor Kyoko know who Madoka is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka spend the day together in Kamihama, enjoying each other’s company until they encounter Ria Ami, a model and magical girl who has already defeated the witch they were tracking. Ria invites them to tea and later takes them to the fashion district, where she notices that Homura’s attention never leaves Madoka. Admitting her jealousy, Ria says she wishes someone would look at her the same way, and Homura replies that she will protect Madoka. After Ria departs, Homura thinks that even if Madoka does not realize how cool she is, she will still save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Homura steals weapons from a group called the Soukaihou using her time stop, but she is caught afterward by Meiyui Chun, a magical girl affiliated with the group. Instead of punishing her, Meiyui thanks her for taking weapons that belonged to troublemakers and invites Homura to share mapo tofu. Over the meal, Meiyui learns Homura fights to protect someone precious to her and says she understands, offering her support and suggesting the spicy dish whenever the burden becomes too painful to bear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Homura is practicing her shooting alone when Natsuki Utsuho, a magical girl who cheers for others, offers to encourage her. Natsuki deduces Homura’s time stop ability and gives advice that significantly improves her aim. When Natsuki suggests Homura ask Mami to coach her, Homura calls, and Mami arrives within an hour. Mami uses her ribbons to move within Homura’s time stop during a sparring match, praising her rapid progress afterward. Homura agrees to return to Mitakihara with Mami, reflecting that she will keep moving forward to become a magical girl capable of protecting Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On a Saturday, Sayaka arrives in Kamihama City to go shopping with Kyosuke Kamijou, though she insists it is not a date. When she hears a scream, she runs toward it and discovers Hinano Miyako at an empty elementary school. Hinano explains she was bumped on the head while setting up the chemistry lab, and Sayaka decides to help investigate. They find the culprit was a baseball that flew through the window from the baseball club practicing outside. Hinano returns the ball to a child and gives Sayaka a perfume she made, wishing her good luck on her date despite Sayaka&#039;s protests.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After realizing Sayaka is not Hinano, Emiri offers to coordinate her wardrobe, claiming to be the &amp;quot;Cutest in the World.&amp;quot; Sayaka learns Emiri is also a magical girl but remains unsatisfied with the outfit suggestions, explaining the person she likes does not care about appearances. Emiri takes her to the top of a tower, where they view the city at night. Sayaka thanks her before heading to the train station, reflecting that her love is supported by the magical girls of Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the outing with Kyosuke arrives. After buying a CD, Kyosuke messages that his train is delayed. Sayaka fights a Witch she senses and meets Kokoro Awane, defeating it together. With time to spare, Kokoro invites her for tea. Sayaka shares that she became a magical girl to heal someone she loves, and Kokoro reveals she wished to bring her family together. Though problems remain, Kokoro believes she can unite them through her own power, and Sayaka finds strength in her words. When Kyosuke is about to arrive, Kokoro encourages her, and Sayaka runs to the station, feeling it will be a good day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On a later day, Kyoko meets Manaka Kurumi, who offers to cook for her after noticing her unhealthy eating habits. Manaka brings Kyoko to her father&#039;s restaurant and makes omelet rice.

===Ultimate&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart. She also finds Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, who were never supposed to become magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Panicking because she cannot prevent magical girls from becoming witches in this universe, Madoka investigates. She discovers the source blocking her intervention originated when the Holy Quintet first visited Kamihama, and she observes how Touka and Nemu—fated to die in every other universe—are alive and plotting with the Magius to lure Walpurgis Night to hatch Eve. Madoka reflects that their plan, if successful, would achieve what she herself accomplished. Unsure whether to intervene, she decides to investigate further and chooses Iroha as her next focal point, since this is the only universe where Iroha contracted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka observes Iroha’s past and finds the singular difference: on a normal day, Iroha took her usual shortcut but accidentally kicked a small pebble, nearly making her late. This tiny butterfly effect led to Iroha contracting and Ui, Nemu, and Touka surviving, derailing the universe’s fate. Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka decides not to interfere, fearing a clash that could destroy the universe. However, she laments that she may have no choice but to trample Iroha’s wish if this universe, now a singularity, threatens the stability of all other universes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* After contracting with Kyubey, Oriko foresees Madoka becoming Kriemhild Gretchen and ending the world. To prevent this, she begins manipulating events and people around her. She uses Yuma Chitose as a distraction to keep Kyubey away from Madoka, then later convinces Yuma to contract by claiming Kyoko is in danger. Oriko also recruits Kirika Kure as her pawn. When Kirika kills another magical girl, Oriko decides to use the murders to further distract Kyubey from Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Oriko Mikuni in Magia Record#Side Story|Oriko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Oriko has another vision revealing that Madoka is not in Mitakihara but somewhere else entirely. She witnesses a spatial distortion connecting Mitakihara to Kamihama City and begins to suspect Kamihama might hold the key to changing the future. Oriko sends Kirika to Kamihama under the pretense of buying tea, instructing her to gather information from Mami and other magical girls there. She then takes Yuma to Kamihama herself, leaving her inside a witch barrier knowing Kyoko will come to rescue her. While exploring Kamihama for answers, Oriko nearly dies inside a powerful witch barrier and realizes she needs Kirika&#039;s help to continue. Kirika eventually returns home safely, reporting that Mami and Kyoko are also investigating Kamihama and that the city has an unusually high number of witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kyoko accidentally destroys her shopping bag, enraging Kirika. Shizuku Hozumi intervenes, allowing Mami and Kyoko to escape through a portal. Kirika returns home with supermarket tea, admitting she learned nothing.

Eventually, Asuka, Sasara, Hinano, and Emiri help her, and the shop is cleaned perfectly. She gets the idea of holding a party from Momoko, Kaede, and Rena, who also plan to do something for Mitama as thanks.&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Kanagi and Konomi visit Mitama with already-made decorations. Some are extras from Kanagi&#039;s maid cafe, and Konomi is experienced with making such decorations from her flower shop. The three of them make many beautiful decorations and set them up at the store.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitama realizes she has no plans for holding a party and no one is visiting. Just as she is feeling lost, the Mikazuki Villa team visits, bringing a beautiful kimono and New Year&#039;s food. They say it is their way to thank Mitama for her help. With Yachiyo&#039;s help, Mitama puts on the kimono and is touched by their actions. Momoko, Kaede, Rena, Asuka, and Sasara also visit. The kimono was chosen by everyone for Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;

Shizuka reveals she does not have a haregi but has a special outfit for a New Year&#039;s ceremony. She offers to show everyone.&lt;br /&gt;
* A package arrives with Shizuka&#039;s ceremonial outfit. She tries it on but discovers it has become highwater—too short to properly cover her. The outfit also has moth holes.

** Shizuka finds Kanoko at school with Sana, Tsumugi, and Manaka. Kanoko agrees to help. At Manaka&#039;s restaurant, they discuss design options.

Iroha and Ui feel anxious about the upcoming school semester but realize they have forgotten something important. Yachiyo suggests it might be cleaning. Iroha and Ui remember they need to clean their house in Takarazaki. The group agrees to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha &amp;amp; Ui (Shrine Maiden)#Side Story|Iroha &amp;amp; Ui&#039;s Shrine Maiden Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the house, they clean together. Felicia finds a photo album. Everyone looks through pictures of Iroha and Ui as children. They see photos from Ui&#039;s birthday party at the hospital, a Christmas when they had a flour snowball fight, and other memories. The girls tease Iroha for being a dork, and Iroha gets embarrassed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After cleaning, they take a break. Ui wants to have a party at the house, which has always been a dream of hers since she was hospitalized for so long. Iroha agrees. They buy cakes and cookies from a nearby pastry shop. Back at the house, they hold a small party. Yachiyo is worried about the cost, but Iroha says she and Ui paid with their allowance.

As evening falls, they return to Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Ui receive a New Year&#039;s card from their parents overseas. They want to send something back but cannot decide how. Tsuruno and Felicia are watching a comedy show about an elderly couple sending video messages to their children. This gives Iroha and Ui the idea to record a video message for their parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They film their first video, but Yachiyo says it is too ordinary. Sana suggests making it more unique. Ui wants to introduce everyone at Mikazuki Villa to their parents. Iroha agrees. They try filming again with a script, but the takes go poorly—Yachiyo overthinks her cooking scene, Felicia struggles to tutor Ui, and Tsuruno is late. Ui suggests they abandon the script and just be themselves. They record a video of their daily life together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* After Mitakihara City’s school closing ceremony, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura walk out together. Sayaka is glad the term is over, Madoka is excited, and Homura admits she will feel lonely without seeing them every day. Sayaka ruffles her hair and says they can still meet over break, whether hunting witches or hanging out. Madoka suggests visiting Mizuna Shrine in Kamihama for New Year’s to draw “Ultimate Fortunes.” Sayaka has other plans but encourages them to go together. After she leaves, Madoka asks Homura if she knows how to put on formal wear. Homura does not, so Madoka invites her to a kimono‑dressing class she found, saying she wanted the two of them to dress up with Sayaka but lacked the courage to go alone. Homura agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class, the instructor dresses them first; Madoka thinks Homura looks beautiful, and Homura calls Madoka cute. When the actual lesson begins, Madoka struggles badly and trips, while Homura learns quickly enough that the instructor says she will have no trouble. Madoka takes a break outside, feeling useless. Sayaka happens by and asks why she wanted to dress up in the first place - to have fun. Sayaka tells her not to overthink; even if she makes mistakes, she will still have the memories. Encouraged, Madoka returns and finally manages to dress herself after another trip.&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year’s Day, both have their formal wear put on at a store. They joke that the class was interesting but not very useful for the real occasion. They take lots of pictures to show Sayaka, then wish each other a happy new year and go to Mizuna Shrine to draw fortunes. Madoka hopes everyone has a lucky year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka find themselves trapped in a strange dream—a life-sized board game set across Kamihama City. They must reach the goal by following the game&#039;s rules. There are no Familiars or attempts to harm them, so Homura suspects it is accidental mischief rather than a trap. They roll dice to move between squares and complete missions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Kimono)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;First Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They arrive at a shopping center. The mission is to deliver lost items from the New Year&#039;s sale to the Information Desk. They meet Aimi, who found a plain notebook with no name. Aimi worries it is someone&#039;s secret fantasy diary and does not want to read it. They take it to the Information Desk and complete the mission. Aimi mentions she is shopping for materials to knit a scarf or gloves for a boy named Hayato.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** They roll again and move to a new square. The mission is to reunite two sisters who failed to meet. They find Tsukasa waiting for her twin Tsukuyo. Tsukuyo forgot her phone and cannot remember the meeting spot. Madoka and Homura offer to find Tsukuyo. They find her, but Tsukasa has wandered off while waiting. The sisters fail to meet, and Homura and Madoka lose three turns. They eventually reach the Mizuna Shrine goal, but the game says they have not met the goal conditions and sends them back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Second Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They are back at the beginning, wearing their kimonos. They see their past selves from the first loop. The same mission appears—reunite the twins. They meet Tsukasa again, who remembers them from before and is confused by their kimono change. Madoka tells Tsukasa where Tsukuyo is, but Tsukasa runs off before Madoka can explain she should wait. They try to find Tsukasa but fail. The mission fails again, and they are sent back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Third Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes: buy a lucky bag costing one million Magica. They search for a store and take a break at a cafe. They see Ria being interviewed and overhear a boy named Hayato saying he needs a warmer scarf. They find Kokoro and Masara, who lead them to a stationery lucky bag. Kokoro mentions Tsukasa is still looking for Tsukuyo. Madoka wants to help Tsukasa, and Homura agrees. They find Tsukuyo, who has been wandering and dropped something important. They learn Tsukuyo dropped her exchange diary with Tsukasa—the same notebook Aimi found. The mission completes, but they are sent back to the start again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes again: help a child who lost something. They find Tsukuyo waiting. She dropped the exchange diary. Homura and Madoka take her to the Information Desk to reclaim it. Madoka remembers Tsukasa was last seen near a specific area. They wait there and finally reunite the twins. They also tell Aimi that Hayato wants a warm scarf. Everyone ends up happy. Homura and Madoka reach the goal without regrets. Homura reflects that she does not want the dream to last longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka learns the meaning of &amp;quot;When winter comes, spring isn&#039;t far behind&amp;quot; at the end of December. Just before New Year&#039;s Eve, Madoka asks if anyone has plans for the holiday. Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At the Pink Tapir station store, a clerk informs them the sale has moved to a new outlet location and gives them a map. On the way, a delivery truck carrying the chocolate coins is possessed by a Witch&#039;s Kiss and goes on a rampage. Nagisa and Kyoko chase it, jump onto the truck, and enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Nagisa uses her forbidden technique to defeat the Witch. The truck and other vehicles are unharmed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the outlet store and buy the chocolate coins. Nagisa reflects on her memory of eating Pink Tapir chocolate coins for the first time at a hospital charity event when her mother was sick. She wonders if this universe&#039;s Nagisa would have had the same experience. She and Kyoko hurry to Mami&#039;s chocolate party. Kyoko reveals she bought a chocolate cake from Sugar Plum for everyone. Nagisa shares her pink chocolate coins. Mami is happy they are getting along. The next day, the chocolate hunt continues. At the outlet store, Ms. Saotome buys chocolate coins for a hospital charity event, continuing the tradition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They have more fun than they expected, but Tsukuyo suffers a heat stroke and is cared for by the group after Tsukasa panics. When Tsukasa tries to repay the favor, Yachiyo jokes that she should quit the Wings of Magius, then smiles when Tsukasa refuses as expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

* On the day of the Tanabata Festival, Yachiyo and Tsuruno are performing lead roles in a special drama for the Mizuna Tanabata Festival. They are scheduled to give an introductory speech and do promo work in costume. Iroha and the others ask to join them. Yachiyo agrees. They will have free time before the screening to look around the stalls together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno brings a video camera to film a home video for Team Mikazuki. She interviews everyone throughout the day. Yachiyo gives everyone an allowance for the festival. Felicia and Sana check out the food stalls. Iroha and Ui look at the decorations. Yachiyo samples bamboo dumplings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui finds a lost wishing paper and turns it in. She wants to write her own wish but hesitates, not wanting to bring up wishes around other Magical Girls. Yachiyo notices and encourages her. Ui gets wishing paper for everyone.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group makes bamboo boats and floats them down the canal. Sana cuts her finger on a bamboo leaf. Yachiyo notices and helps her. Sana is touched by Yachiyo&#039;s kindness. Felicia says she feels warm on the inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the camera that Yachiyo gives her a feeling of security. Ui says she wants to be someone like Yachiyo someday. Tsuruno records her own message, calling Yachiyo dense but incredibly kind, and says she loves her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The screening begins. Afterward, Yachiyo and Tsuruno go to greet the production staff. The others return to Mikazuki Villa to prepare a surprise.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yachiyo and Tsuruno return home to find the lights off. Everyone surprises them with a handmade Milky Way made of paper stars. They call it the Mikazuki Way. They also show the edited home video featuring everyone&#039;s messages of gratitude. Yachiyo is moved to tears. She thanks them all, saying she is so happy they are always with her. She says this is the best present ever. Tsuruno turns the stars back on and they enjoy their very own Milky Way. Yachiyo says she never expected her tears would be those of joy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede, Rena, and Momoko have picked out new swimsuits. Momoko could not buy one because she spent her allowance on a concert tour. They decide to go to the beach together. Kaede mentions that Mikazuki Villa is renting a lodge for a study camp. Rena asks Yachiyo if they can join. Yachiyo agrees. They arrive at the lodge. Yachiyo announces that everyone must complete ten pages of homework per subject per day before they can play.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rena &amp;amp; Kaede (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena negotiates with Yachiyo: if they can finish all three days&#039; worth of homework in one day, they can play at the beach tomorrow. Everyone agrees. They study hard together. Rena suggests a reward system to stay motivated. They shout encouragement like at an idol concert. Yachiyo and Momoko help with difficult problems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By evening, everyone has met their quota. Rena and Kaede rush to the beach. But Rena has eaten too much chocolate and feels bloated. She is embarrassed and refuses to go swimming. She goes to bed early.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rena, Kaede, and Momoko finally play at the beach. Mitama, Kanagi, and Mifuyu visit. Mitama has brought homemade rice balls as a reward. To decide who gets them, they hold a fishing contest. Rena and Kaede catch a pufferfish but come in second place. Kanagi wins first place and gets stuck with Mitama&#039;s cooking. Mifuyu is affected first. Rena and Kaede eat the remaining Mitama musubi and feel sick. They rest for the rest of the afternoon. Yachiyo goes shopping alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Rena and Kaede notice Yachiyo acting strange. They follow her and find her with fireworks. Yachiyo admits she bought them for everyone but felt too shy to ask. Rena and Kaede insist on setting them off together. They gather everyone. The group enjoys fireworks on the beach. Rena and Kaede stay up late playing with the leftovers. Momoko reflects on how much they have changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They wake up past noon. There is only an hour before the bus leaves. They quickly change into swimsuits and race to the beach. Rena loses and buys everyone juice. They enjoy a brief swim before heading home. Kaede says she is glad she came to the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Mitama asks Momoko to be her partner for the Beachside Perfect Pair Contest. The prizes include a scallop BBQ, Candy World tickets for Mikage, and a giant stuffed bunny Rena and Kaede would love. Momoko agrees, and Mitama immediately drags her out shopping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They browse swimsuits, but Mitama insists on choosing thoughtfully rather than buying on a whim. They separate briefly, and Mitama runs into Mikage, deflecting questions about what she’s doing. Momoko later admits she also had to make excuses after running into Rena and Kaede. Instead of buying swimsuits, Mitama brings Momoko back for an adjustment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the adjustment, they emerge in new swimsuits—Momoko’s tailored perfectly to her tastes, leaving her flustered but secretly pleased. Mitama teases her and admits she’s nervous but excited.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On contest day, Mitama and Momoko play on the beach. They learn the contest requires performing a shared beach memory with chemistry. They plan to tell the story of Mitama’s deserted island ordeal while Momoko adds her side of worrying. While playing, they fight a Witch together—the first time Mitama has teamed up with someone—then run straight into Rena, Kaede, and Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They win by performing the events of the day instead of their planned story. Rena claims the stuffed bunny, and Mikage gets the Candy World tickets, immediately inviting Mitama. Apologies are exchanged, and the others ask for no more secrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, while Mitama and Momoko clean up, Rena and Kaede take Mikage to get drinks. A girl from Mitama’s past confronts her: the one Mitama accidentally shoved down the stairs years ago. A crowd gathers, muttering rumors, but Momoko defends Mitama and the crowd disperses. The girl realizes it was an accident and offers to help clear Mitama’s name, but Mitama declines, saying she no longer needs it because she has someone who believes in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka arrives at a resort with her friends, carrying her mother’s challenge to do something she can only do now. After rescuing an old woman’s hat from the sea, she learns the hat was a gift from the woman’s daughter, Himari.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group spends the day swimming, building a sandcastle, and splitting into smaller activities. While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

* The next morning, the photographer leads them to a hidden pond where barringtonia blossoms float. She reveals this was the special place she and Himari had planned to visit. Madoka recognizes Himari’s name and, with her friends’ help, finds the old woman from the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The old woman and the photographer meet; the photographer confesses her guilt over their childhood fight, but the woman explains Himari never mentioned any quarrel—her illness suddenly worsened that day. The two women reconcile, and both thank Madoka for bringing them together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond. Madoka reflects that the thing she could only do here was to reunite the two women and give them peace. Her friends call her for one last swim, and she runs off to join them, already thinking of returning to the island someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story and Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
It has two versions I made, assimilate them if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomuradsSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka in her costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The non‑waterproof suit causes Sayaka to be electrocuted by its built‑in fan, but her Doppel activates and saves her. The Doppel drags Yachiyo into the water, and Yachiyo begins water‑skiing using her fishing rod while being pulled around.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura manages to fish up the Doppel and wins the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other&#039;s backs. Homura happily agrees, ending the day on a warm note.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Homura confronts her Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying summer and relying on Madoka’s kindness. The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurads&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura visit a seaside villa on the outskirts of Kamihama. They meet Felicia and her friends briefly. After parting ways, they decide to visit an aquarium. They participate in an accessory-making workshop using star sand. Inside the aquarium, they meet Ashley, an exchange student from the United States, and Riko. Ashley recognizes them as Magical Girls from Mitakihara because she encountered their copies in Endless Mirrors. They chat and learn Ashley is making videos about kawaii things in Japan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Waverider)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After parting ways with Ashley and Riko, Sayaka wants to visit a CD store. She hopes to find rare CDs for Kyosuke. At the store, she reaches for the same CD as a woman. They discover they both use notepads to track CDs. The woman is Takamine&#039;s wife—Takamine was a violinist who passed away. She collects his recordings to show her daughter. They exchange contact information. Sayaka mentions the upcoming flea market.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Sayaka and Kyoko transform into swimsuits and ride a surfboard to retrieve it, using Nagisa&#039;s floaty as a distraction. The hat is recovered. Takamine&#039;s wife realizes she lost her notepad. Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring. They plan for future fights: Sayaka will handle Familiars, Madoka and Homura will immobilize the Witch, and Mami will finish it off. Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the team encounters a paramedic and a girl under a Witch&#039;s influence. They enter the Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. The paramedic wakes up and thanks them and the team slips away quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of school after summer vacation, Mami calls Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura to the roof. Kyoko and Nagisa fought a powerful Witch and retreated. They warn the others and the team meets to plan. Kyoko and Nagisa will immobilize the Witch while Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura handle the Familiars. Mami will finish it off with her new firework attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The ext morning, the Witch appears and the team executes their plan. Mami uses a powerful firework attack, which she names &amp;quot;Fiore Finale,&amp;quot; to defeat the Witch. They rescue the captured people. A paramedic from earlier recognizes them and offers to take care of the victims. The team rushes to school but is late.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko invites Homura, Mami, Sayaka, and Madoka to the beach using tickets Mitama gave her after another accidental transformation into her magical swimsuit. The group swims, then Kyoko dominates the buffet. They discover a cliff diving spot, where Sayaka, Mami, and Kyoko take turns jumping while Madoka and Homura watch. They agree to return the day after next, since Madoka is busy the following day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kyoko asks Mitama to let her keep the swimsuit form for the summer, then heads to the beach alone.

Ui improves, but a rip current nearly sweeps her away; Kyoko rescues her. Moved by Ui’s determination, Kyoko keeps training her until sunset, and Ui finally masters swimming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully. Later, Kyoko visits Mitama to revert her outfit, explaining she wants to learn swimming properly rather than relying on magic. She trades a Grief Seed for money to buy ramune as payment for a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Eternal Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Momoko Togame (Sanctified)#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi meet again. Mitama shares her realization: her grief has ended. She now wants to make amends and carve a new future for Kamihama. They discuss ideas for the student conference. Kanagi suggests a sports festival. Mitama suggests a festival with food stalls. They joke about romance and love interests. Mitama feels lighter and ready to move forward. She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at the Wings of Magius, Alina asks Nemu to create a rumor for her. She will let it grow, then take it into herself and use it to achieve her greatest goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Touka and Nemu separately sneak to Ui’s room to leave apology notes. They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They first visit Mitama’s shop, where they meet Maria and Konomi. Mikage hands out sweets, crediting Lavi’s teaching, and Mitama permits them to visit the Mikazuki girls after receiving a cake. At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the real world, Tsuruno gives gelato to Ui and Felicia. Ui is absorbed in playing a game called &amp;quot;Little Vacation&amp;quot; on Tsuruno&#039;s phone. The game follows Tsuruno and Felicia as Reindeer Santas traveling to reach the End of the World and the Wishing Star.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia (Special Delivery)#Side Story|Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno uses the Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a hint: &amp;quot;The key is something you don&#039;t know the importance of until it&#039;s gone. This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The girls encourage Tsuruno and Felicia to leave since they were not originally trapped. Tsuruno and Felicia walk out easily. They promise to return once they find a way to free everyone. They leave, having failed to deliver smiles for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Town of Miraculous ☆ Prestidigitations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the next town. They meet Mitama, a magician performing tricks, and twins Rion and Hotori. Mitama attempts to teleport Hotori but accidentally duplicates her. There are now two Hotoris. Tsuruno and Felicia try to help. The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win. The duplicates are left behind. The single Tsuruno who lost is left alone without Reindeer-san #2 or the Okamochi Box. She decides to continue traveling anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; The three Tsurunos reunite and discuss the hints from the Okamochi Box. They realize &amp;quot;three heads are better than one&amp;quot; refers to them working together to solve the Maze Town puzzle. They also realize the key in Maze Town was a &amp;quot;smile&amp;quot;—something Ren had lost along the way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game. Game Tsuruno is surprised, saying the actual people probably do not play the game anymore. They celebrate their success and set their sights on the next town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents. Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia return home and ask to hear the full story, so Yachiyo retrieves the scarf from the time capsule where she had hidden it years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Check on the days again to make sure how many days pass. It&#039;s possible it&#039;s all just one day&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami finds herself in a strange white fog, speaking with two other versions of herself. Holy Mami claims she has learned the truth about magical girls from Alina Gray and Touka Satomi and has found a way to save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami has tea with Touka and Alina at a house rented for her by Touka. Mami explains she has not returned to Mitakihara because her priority is releasing magical girls. Touka and Alina offer to lecture her on what she needs to study. Alina grows disturbingly excited discussing van Gogh&#039;s Sunflowers, and Touka lectures at length on mathematics until Alina interrupts. Mami reassures them she will ask for help when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina receives a call from the Amane sisters requesting help with a Witch. Touka asks Mami to assist, explaining she has a lecture to give at noon to recruit skilled magical girls. Mami agrees, reflecting that releasing magical girls requires Grief Seeds, protecting Rumors, and raising Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane waiting for her. They explain the Witch has moved and the Black Feathers are monitoring it. A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Rika and Ren plan for their friends’ Christmas party a week away and promise to spend Christmas Eve together. While looking at options in a magazine, they cannot decide on a place.

* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumor Tsuruno begins designing the park, adding a merry-go-round, roller coaster, spa, shops, and a cafe. The mascots warn that once the park is complete, she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world. Rumor Tsuruno claims no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she imagines comfort foods with hot pot as the main star, she is reminded of Mikazuki Villa. She brushes it off and completes the park. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Sana recalls a story about the Rice God from Yachiyo and decides to write a practice story about it.&lt;br /&gt;

Sana writes the first part of the story: Aoi leaves the &amp;quot;Land of Beginnings&amp;quot; and arrives at the &amp;quot;Land of Blessings,&amp;quot; where residents constantly fight. Aoi suggests a picnic to help them understand each other. The residents grow closer. Ui enjoys the story. Sana reveals she wants to leave behind proof of Ai&#039;s existence before she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana asks Nemu for permission to use a character modelled after Ai in her picture book. Nemu agrees, saying she is happy Sana wishes to preserve Ai. Nemu advises Sana on how to become a published author: enter contests or approach publishers directly. Sana becomes discouraged when she realizes she would have to interact with people who cannot see her. She leaves feeling hopeless.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana wanders alone, feeling invisible. She helps a girl find a lost ring but is not noticed. She thinks her dream is impossible. Tsuruno, Felicia, and Ui find her, worried because she was not answering calls. Iroha and Yachiyo also arrive. Nemu calls and suggests Sana could use an agent to communicate with publishers, avoiding direct meetings. Sana regains her resolve. Yachiyo tells her not to give up on her dream. Iroha and the others promise to support her. Sana realizes she has a family to help her get back up.&lt;br /&gt;

===Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 1 (Flashback/Reflection)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi wakes from a nap and remembers the dream she had when fused with the Kimochi. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words that helped her realize she had not truly given up. Iroha told her that those who have given up do not fight, and that Lavi came to Kamihama because she still wanted to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro (Kimochi)#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects on the hope she once held—a daydream of a peaceful life where magical girls are understood. In that dream, she helped her mother, tended fields with her grandfather, watched Urara&#039;s street performances, and attended exhibitions with Shirogane. She encountered other magical girls: Asahi, Haitani, Kuroda, Urara, and Alexandra. They fought witches together and enjoyed everyday moments. Lavi realized she had locked away this hope because remembering it was painful. But now, through her connection with Iroha and her time with Nayuta, she has begun to see the future again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Due to a scheduling mistake, everyone arrives at the same inn on the same day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** There is not enough premium beef for dinner. The groups compete in hot spring table tennis, karaoke, and pillow fights to decide who gets the meat. Yuna cheats in table tennis and is disqualified. The karaoke machine is outdated. The pillow fight becomes chaotic. Asahi saves the day with gibier meat. Everyone shares the meal and enjoys the evening together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects that this bustling, noisy future is unlike her usual self, but she realizes she has been yearning for it deep down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 3 (Reality/Current Time)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi teaches Nayuta cooking. They discuss their futures: Nayuta wants to study magical girls at a university different from her father&#039;s. Lavi wants to help at her family&#039;s inn while spreading magical girl activities. They plan a trip with Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Upon arriving at Cradle of the Earth in Yukuni, they encounter Mikazuki Villa, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and the Tokime Clan—just as in Lavi&#039;s dream. There is again not enough meat for dinner. Lavi is overwhelmed but also excited. She realizes that even if the past cannot be undone, they can move forward together and create a bright future. She announces they will compete over the meat and create a new future with all of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo receives a call from Tsuruno: Felicia has run away. That evening, Felicia calls, planning to leave Kamihama to escape her guilt. Yachiyo tracks her location and rushes to the station with Tsuruno. Tsuruno finds Felicia, who confesses she cannot forget Iroha. Tsuruno shares Yachiyo&#039;s message: they should say &amp;quot;thank you&amp;quot; rather than &amp;quot;I&#039;m sorry.&amp;quot; Felicia agrees and returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo reveals her true purpose: she plans to use the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura to bring Iroha back by traveling through the Mirror Witch, even offering to take Iroha&#039;s place. When the others refuse to help, she attempts to go alone. Felicia uses her oblivion magic on Yachiyo and she forgets the plan entirely. Yachiyo continues preparing lunch as if nothing happened. They travel to the Rumor for the picnic. Along the way, Yachiyo asks the others to stop her if she ever loses control and tries something insane, admitting she can act on impulse when she loses composure. She also tells them they are all irreplaceable to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

While waiting for Yachiyo, she ends up having tea with the grandmother, who shares memories of Yachiyo and Mifuyu growing up—their failed surprise party, helping a lovesick university student, and Yachiyo standing up to Mifuyu&#039;s mother after a koto recital. Kanae grows emotional, feeling she only causes trouble compared to them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyoMifuyuStartingOutss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu (Starting Out)#Side Story|Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune. The Rumor says that if you receive the book and find a drawing of yourself, the sketched event will happen and if you try to stop it, a creature named Ketch drags you into the book. Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Two Hands in Harmony|Two Hands in Harmony]]&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. It may already be done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane complain about being overworked as guardians of a Rumor and fear the anger of Touka, Alina, and Nemu. They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One summer morning, Mitama is at her shop and she has set up a small café corner called Hot☆Corner. The cat, Doyle, is especially attached to her lately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery|The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day|Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Rumored Temp Counselor===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call|Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;

===A Taste of Hospitality===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - A Taste of Hospitality|A Taste of Hospitality]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko and Ashley help Mitama film a video about her Coordinator services, whre she explains that she adjusts Soul Gems to draw out hidden potential, that she sees memories during adjustments but keeps them confidential, and that she also sells items for Magical Girls. As payment for the video, Riko gives Mitama an origami dog (Mameji) and Ashley gives her blue candy from her home, both of which Mitama puts in a box.&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, Mitama receives many gifts from Magical Girls, including Kokoro, Reira, Mito, Felicia, Ayame, Kako, Yachiyo, Karin, Himika, Rika and Emiri, the last of whom says that when people share their favorite things, it means they want to share what they love with Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama hums happily, which Momoko and Kanagi notice and feel a bad omen. Mitama announces that she wants to share what she loves with everyone and that she plans a party with food that she will cook. She asks Momoko and Kanagi to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin|Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One winter’s day before Christmas, Rika and Ren go shopping together. The town has no Christmas decorations and people seem depressed. They hear a distressed voice and find Mitama, wearing a Santa&#039;s beard and hat, and she introduces herself as a Christmas Spirit. Mitama says her job is to make everyone happy, but the task is too big. She gives Rika and Ren some of her magic, explaining that the magic requires them to be perfectly attuned to each other, and then she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, a swallow Familiar appears, claiming to be Mitama’s pupil and Rika names him Chirpie. Chirpie explains that Mitama saved him when he fell from his nest and gave him magic. He can sense cowardly hearts lacking courage and Rika and Ren must drive out ten cowardly hearts to make the town happy. Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chirpie leads them to Felicia and Sana, who had accidentally smashed a cake and are now arguing about who should apologize to Yachiyo. Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away|Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines|Homemade and Heartfelt Valentines]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 13th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mitama is away from her shop, but Tsuruno is there, using the kitchen to make chocolate bonbons with a friend. She plans to surprise everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 14th:&#039;&#039;&#039; On Valentine&#039;s Day, Tsuruno gives beautifully wrapped chocolates to Iroha, Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana and Ui at Mikazuki Villa. Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;

* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day during lunch break, Kanagi goes to Himika’s classroom, telling her she just wanted to see her face, which Himika finds strange.&lt;br /&gt;
** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Finding Our Formula|Finding Our Formula]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Hinano and Emiri attend a chemistry event. Hinano is excited to see a chemist who reminds her of the woman she idolized as a child—a tall, long-legged lady who taught fun chemistry experiments. Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic|Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls finish dinner. Tsuruno and Felicia complain about going to the same public pool every summer. Yachiyo receives a phone call from a distant relative who runs a hotel. The relative needs help cleaning the hotel pool because the usual staff are sick. Yachiyo hesitates due to her modeling schedule. The girls offer to help. Yachiyo calls back and confirms they will come.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group arrives at the hotel and Yachiyo&#039;s relative, an older woman, greets them warmly. She says she used to hang out with Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river. Tsuruno and Felicia compete to see who can clean faster, inventing names for their techniques. Yachiyo scolds them for being inefficient. They eventually work together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha slips and falls but is not hurt. Felicia sprays Yachiyo with the hose and Yachiyo chases her. After a few hours, they finish cleaning. The relative rewards them with fluffy shaved ice.&lt;br /&gt;
** The pool is now clean and filled with water. The girls swim and play. Tsuruno and Felicia bring water guns and spray Yachiyo. Yachiyo chases them and gets out of the pool to walk upstream, eventually catching them. They all have fun.&lt;br /&gt;
** As they leave, the relative thanks them but reveals the pool may not open after all due to unforeseen issues. Everyone is shocked.&lt;br /&gt;

** The girls are about to leave when the relative reveals the pool may not open because support staff from the southern islands are delayed by a typhoon. Tsuruno volunteers the group to help until the staff arrives. Yachiyo worries they might cause trouble, but Iroha, Ui, and Sana want to try. They agree to help. Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the next day, the group arrives at the pool for opening day. Yachiyo handles reception. The ticket scanner malfunctions and a line forms. Mitama appears—she had plans with Iroha that were canceled. She offers to help and fixes the scanner by hitting it. The staff member returns and takes over.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama notices Yachiyo has something on her mind and suggests she talk to someone she trusts. Iroha later asks Yachiyo to help with a crowded lunch area. Ui is taking orders with Sana&#039;s invisible help making drinks.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral. Yachiyo admits she was worried about everyone but sees they are doing fine. Iroha tells Yachiyo it is okay to worry because she cares, and they can solve problems together. Iroha notices Yachiyo has been down and offers to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
** A foam machine malfunctions, spewing foam everywhere. A guest slips and falls. The group splits up to clean the foam and help guests. Mitama fixes the machine with a whack. The support staff arrives. The girls finally have time to enjoy the pool.&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models. She does not know what to post and is shy about taking selfies. Iroha suggests posting photos of herself and takes pictures of Yachiyo on a float with the sunset. Yachiyo is embarrassed but agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Tsuruno want a turn on the float. Everyone climbs on, and Mitama takes a group photo just as they all fall into the water. Iroha loves the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the pool photos are popular online. Yachiyo&#039;s manager says going to the pool was a good move. Yachiyo thanks Iroha and says she might take her up on being her photographer again. She sends the group photo to everyone. Iroha says the photo may not be &amp;quot;social media-worthy&amp;quot; but it captures who they are. They agree to go back to the pool again—summer is just getting started.&lt;br /&gt;

Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
** She met a girl named &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; N told Kako who was responsible and what she needed to do to destroy them. Kako clung to her. She later learned N was manipulative and saw others as pawns. Kako hates N and wants revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found herself in a Labyrinth. Nanaka fought off Familiars but was overwhelmed. Kyubey offered Kako the chance to become a Magical Girl.

She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kako learned Nanaka faked her struggle to entrap her into making the wish. Nanaka had pulled this trick on others to use them as pawns. Kako could not forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako and Nanaka fought Witches together. Nanaka encouraged Kako and told her she was better suited to being a Magical Girl than Nanaka was. Kako wanted to get stronger. Nanaka wrote a letter confessing her deception and asking Kako to kill her. Kako made up her mind to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka. She returned it unopened, saying it seemed wrong to read something Nanaka only sent by accident. Nanaka smiled and said Kako was dazzling. She said she would try to tell Kako her feelings in person someday.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako thinks Nanaka overestimates her, but she is no longer as scared and helpless as she used to be. She is a Magical Girl who protects the city by Nanaka&#039;s side.&lt;br /&gt;

===Kokoro Awane&#039;s Heartphial Story: A World Where I Never Was===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro Awane reflects on her life. Before, she hated herself so many times for making her wish, kicking herself for it. She thought that since it was her fault, she had to do something about it. But now, all she wants is to do the best she can as a family of three with all her heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro goes hiking with Masara. They sing a cookie song but disagree on the lyrics—Masara says it is &amp;quot;knead,&amp;quot; while Kokoro remembers &amp;quot;mix.&amp;quot; Kokoro mentions a rumor about parallel universes and false memories. At the summit, Kokoro reminisces about hiking with her parents when she was little. She reveals that after her mother left, her family fell apart. Her father struggled as a single parent. Kokoro wished to Kyubey for her mother to come home. Her mother returned, but her parents&#039; relationship did not improve. Kokoro felt she had to work harder to fix things.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Kokoro remembers meeting Masara. Masara bluntly told her that it was not her fault, and those words finally got through. Kokoro stopped trying to fix everything alone and started getting her whole family to work together.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present Day) After the hike, Kokoro hears a voice talking about the Rumor of Parallel Memories. She finds a CD of the cookie song in a bargain bin. The lyrics on the back say &amp;quot;mix,&amp;quot; not &amp;quot;knead.&amp;quot; She wonders if it is an item from a parallel universe. She feels dizzy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro finds herself in a parallel world. Her house is now a café. Her parents run it together and are happily married. They do not recognize her. Kokoro sees they are close and in love, just like when she was little. She hears about attractions and brands she has never heard of. Her mother sings the cookie song with &amp;quot;mix.&amp;quot; Kokoro realizes she was never born in this world. She feels painful but also jealous of their happiness. She thinks her parents might have been better off without her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro wishes to go home. She feels dizzy again. She hears her parents calling her name. She wakes up to find she had collapsed. Her parents found her and called an ambulance. She is taken to the hospital. She wonders if the parallel world was real or just a dream.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Kokoro&#039;s parents bake cookies together. They include her in the process. Her mother sings a version of the cookie song with different lyrics—&amp;quot;stir, stir, stir them well, that taste of happiness.&amp;quot; Kokoro asks her mother to sing the old part. Her mother says she just did. Kokoro changes her mind and says she does not want to hear it anymore. She prefers these cookies, the ones the three of them made together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Himika Mao&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Lucky Break Lost &amp;amp; Found===&lt;br /&gt;
* Himika Mao reflects on her life. Her family is far from rich, so when her dad got sick and collapsed, her whole world went dark. But it was her family&#039;s smiling faces that kept her going through it all. That is why she will continue to fight to protect them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Himika goes shopping for bargains and wins a grand prize from a drawing: a 2-night stay at a luxury hotel with a pool on a tropical island, complete with meals. She is thrilled to take her whole family. She hides the ticket in a Baby Bunny pouch for safekeeping.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Himika&#039;s father worked day and night to support their family of eight. He collapsed from overwork. He survived but could not work like before. The family was running out of money. Her siblings fought and cried. Her father suggested they all live in different facilities. Himika made a wish to Kyubey to cure her father. She became a Magical Girl. Her father recovered, and her family returned to a normal, peaceful life.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present Day) Himika&#039;s friends Kako and Ayame visit. Himika cannot find the ticket. She realizes she mistook the pouch for a stuffed animal and sent it away in a box of Mocha Bunny dolls for a crane game prize. She calls the shipping company, but the boxes have already been handed to a subcontractor.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama suggests having Himika&#039;s father call the subcontractor to track down the pouch. Himika&#039;s father does so. The company says they will search for it.&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Rena calls Himika. She saw the Baby Bunny pouch in a crane game at an arcade. Himika, Kako, Ayame, Rena, and Kaede go to the arcade. The pouch is in the replenishment case, meaning Himika must win all the Mocha Bunnies already out to reach it. Himika decides to use a strategy but is short on money.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika observes other players to learn techniques, calling it &amp;quot;crane training.&amp;quot; She strategizes to create an avalanche by knocking down piles of plushies. She successfully clears most of the machine. The staff restocks the machine, placing the pouch inside surrounded by four giant Mocha Bunnies.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika aims to move two bunnies out of the way to reach the pouch. She successfully clears the pandas and one bunny. She realizes there are two Baby Bunny pouches, not one. She cannot tell which is hers. She has only three tries left. She misses on two tries. On her final try, she aims for both pouches at once and succeeds. The crowd applauds.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Himika&#039;s family goes on the tropical vacation. She explains that when she asked Kyubey to cure her dad, what she really wanted was for her family to be back together. She later learns from a staff member that if she had explained the situation at first, they would have just given her the pouch back. All&#039;s well that ends well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before becoming meguca). Ren writes in her journal and draws illustrations. She tells a story about a bear cub who lives in a gray world after dying.

Kyubey appeared and granted her wish to live. She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey told her that Witches can cause bullying. Ren decided to fight Witches to build a kinder world. But she realized that some people are just bad, and defeating Witches does not change that. She attempted suicide again. Rika found her and stopped her. Rika became her light. Rika introduced her to new friends and gave her presents. Rika said that as long as you have one shining thing in the world, you can keep going.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (present) Ren and Rika go shopping. Ren finds an earring someone dropped and returns it. The owner is grateful. Ren feels happy and buys a colored pencil. She thinks about adding color to her bear story. She decides to use the Cherry Pink pencil because Rika loves pink. She writes about a Spirit of Light that appears before the bear cub and shows her that the world is not actually gray—it is full of colors.&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri shows Ren a kaleidoscope. Hinano invites her to make one. Akira helps her carry a package. Konomi gives her flowers. Kanoko shows her a mushroom-themed clothing design. Ren writes about the bear cub meeting a Spirit of Light with many friends—a butterfly, a shrub, a lion, a tulip, and a mushroom. The Gray World gradually takes on color. The bear cub does not want it to end.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren invites Rika to a picture book exhibition. Rika declines because she has plans. Ren is rejected and embarrassed. She invites Rika to a teddy bear exhibition.

The bear cub realizes the Spirit of Light is disappearing from her world. The world goes back to gray.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika messages Ren, apologizing and saying she was planning a surprise birthday party. Ren does not reply. She hides in a dark room at school. Rika finds her and calls her instead of opening the door. Rika explains she wanted to surprise Ren. She gives Ren a set of 12 colored pencils with a carved lily of the valley on the case. Ren cries and thanks her. The bear cub looks up and sees the Spirit of Light smiling at her. Her world is once again filled with light.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren buys another colored pencil. She notices the name is &amp;quot;Blue Sky&amp;quot; instead of &amp;quot;Sky Blue.&amp;quot; She hears a voice talking about the Rumor of Parallel Memories. She feels dizzy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren dreams she is dead. She cannot see or touch her parents. They mourn her suicide. She never became a Magical Girl and never met Rika. She watches her friends go to the teddy bear exhibition without her. She is invisible. She feels awful and wants to go back to the land of the living. She remembers the colored pencil with the different name—that must be the proof of another world. She holds it and wishes to live. She wakes up. It was all a dream. Rika messages her to join everyone for snacks. Ren goes to meet them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren finishes her bear story. The gatekeeper asks the bear cub if she has any regrets. The bear cub says yes. She wishes to leave behind her journal, filled with entries about the Spirit of Light and all the sparkles she showed her. The gatekeeper opens the gates. The bear cub does not say goodbye because she knows she will see the Spirit of Light again someday in the World of Light. Ren realizes the bear cub is reborn, just like she was when she met Rika and her friends. She can live in a world full of color.&lt;br /&gt;

Konoha was sent to an orphanage called Azalea House. Her heart was frozen, but the director&#039;s kindness slowly brought color back to her world. She met Hazuki and Ayame there. They became sisters bound by a bond stronger than blood. The director treated them like family.&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before becoming Magical Girls) Azalea House was to be torn down due to unknown powerful forces. The stress of it claimed the director&#039;s life. Kyubey appeared and offered contracts.

They left Azalea House and have lived together ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Konoha visits Azalea House with Hazuki and Ayame. She reflects on their journey. They part ways, and Konoha goes to the department store sale to buy truffles.

** They find Kanoko chasing a bus. She left her bag on the bus. They catch up to the bus, but the bag is already gone. Mitama contacts Asuka, who picked up the bag for safekeeping. They go to the dojo where Asuka teaches. Asuka reveals she bumped into Momoko at a convenience store and may have switched bags again.

&lt;br /&gt;
* A teacher asks Hazuki to deliver worksheets to Nanaka. Hazuki is reluctant because Konoha distrusts Nanaka after an incident where Nanaka&#039;s team tricked them into fighting a powerful Witch. Hazuki delivers the worksheets. Nanaka suggests they should share information without secrets. Hazuki agrees to try building trust, but she remains wary.&lt;br /&gt;

* During the storm, the rope bridge collapses due to the rain. Hazuki and Nanaka cannot cross the river. They find an old shack for shelter. They huddle together for warmth. Hazuki shares her past: her parents died in an accident when she was young. She was shuffled between relatives until she ended up at Azalea House. She learned to hide her fear behind a smile. The director taught her to smile when her heart truly felt it. She met Konoha and Ayame there. They became family. They made wishes to protect Azalea House and left to live together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka listens quietly. She says she finally understands Hazuki&#039;s true self. Nanaka grows pale and cold. Hazuki worries she might collapse. Hazuki insists they huddle closer. Nanaka admits she is cold. They wait together.&lt;br /&gt;
** The rain stops. Akira and others find them at the shack. They are taken back to camp. The nurse checks them. Hazuki and Nanaka are cleared to stay. Nanaka is grateful for Hazuki&#039;s help.

&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame writes a letter to the Director, the late head of Azalea House. She explains that she, Konoha, and Hazuki are Magical Girls now.

** Ayame and Kako meet in secret. They are friends but cannot openly hang out because their teams do not get along. Ayame complains about the situation. Kako shows her a book about ocean adventures. Ayame becomes curious about whether the ocean boils when the sun sets. They decide to go to the beach together to find out.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame and Kako take a train and a bus toward the beach. Ayame is excited. Konoha calls and texts repeatedly, but Ayame ignores her. They get off the bus when it breaks down and take a detour. They discover a field of sunflowers. They share cup noodles together. Ayame turns off her phone. Kako also ignores Nanaka&#039;s messages to focus on their adventure. They finally reach the beach and watch the sunset together. Ayame still cannot tell if the ocean boils, but she is happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback - Azalea House) Ayame dreams of the Director. She remembers the day Azalea House was going to be torn down. The Director had already passed away. Konoha, Hazuki, and Ayame met Kyubey and decided to become Magical Girls. Ayame wished for Azalea House to stay open forever. Konoha wished to eliminate all threats to it. They decided on a third wish: to have everyone at Azalea House forget they were ever there. They left the orphanage and started living together. Ayame remembers Konoha&#039;s promise that they would always be together. She reflects on her conflict with Konoha over her friendship with Kako. She wishes the Director could tell her what to do.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame wakes up at Kako&#039;s relatives&#039; house. Konoha has arrived. She found Ayame by asking Nanaka to track Kako&#039;s location.

&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara finds the world boring. She is good at swimming but lacks passion. Kyubey appears and offers her any wish. She wishes for a load of money and becomes a Magical Girl. She fights Witches, and the excitement fades quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara meets Kokoro Awane in a Labyrinth. Kokoro is uncomfortable with Masara&#039;s reckless fighting and tells her to protect herself more. Masara says she does not care if she dies. Kokoro says her family would care. Masara questions why Kokoro blames herself for her family&#039;s problems. Kokoro asks if they can stick together. Masara agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a Witch hunt, they&#039;re attacked by a Witch and Masara takes a hit to protect Kokoro. She gets a scar. She starts avoiding Kokoro because she does not understand her feelings. Mitama explains that Masara fears seeing Kokoro get hurt, so she avoids her to prevent that pain. Masara realizes she fears losing Kokoro, so they reconcile.&lt;br /&gt;
* The swim club announces the relay team. Masara is chosen but declines, saying she is not good at team sports. Koshino, who has always been second to Masara, is chosen as her replacement. Koshino vows to beat Masara&#039;s record.&lt;br /&gt;
* While Kokoro and Masara go on patrol, they see Koshino training alone after school hours. Koshino tells Masara she beat her personal record. Masara is puzzled by Koshino&#039;s passion.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika Ayano&#039;s Heartphial Story: Haunting Love, Haunting Mistake===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika Ayano reflects on her life. She does not want to feel like she became a Magical Girl for nothing. She got to see what dating is like and made loads of friends. But sins do not wash away so easily. That is the price you pay for a miracle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback, but the entirety seems like mostly a flashback) Kyubey offers Rika any wish in exchange for becoming a Magical Girl. Hinano warns her not to do it, but Rika ignores the advice. She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

They encounter Miss K&#039;s father outside. Riko admits she asked Miss K to come so they could patch things up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Miss K&#039;s father reveals he brought a herbarium to Riko&#039;s store. It was originally meant as a gift for his grandchild, but he could not bring himself to deliver it. Riko realizes Mameji had been guiding her this whole time. Earlier, Mameji had barked at the cake that turned out to be from Miss K&#039;s father. Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;

===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky.

She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ashley Taylor&#039;s Heartphial Story: Can&#039;t Be Myself Without What I Love===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley Taylor reflects on her life. Studying in Japan is awesome fun. She wants to find more kawaii for her vlog viewers back home and asks her father to watch over her while she pursues her passions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley vlogs with Riko&#039;s help. She films herself shopping for Magical Kirin merch and gurokawa items. After editing and uploading the video, she replies to comments from her followers. She thinks about her father and hopes he is watching.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley remembers the day she wanted to study abroad in Japan. Her father refused without giving a clear reason, which was unusual. Kyubey appeared and offered to grant any wish. Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko notices Ashley seems down. She worries Ashley is overworking herself by vlogging daily and replying to comments late at night. Ashley says it does not feel like work because she loves it. She thanks Riko for being a kind friend. They go out to film another vlog.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley continues vlogging daily. She worries about skipping a day because her followers might unfollow her. She wakes up to find Kumanosuke missing. She panics, feeling like her world is ending. Riko arrives with a bento and finds Ashley crying. Ashley explains she lost Kumanosuke. Riko comforts her and says it is okay to skip a vlog. Ashley admits she has been using followers&#039; comments to fill the hole left by her father&#039;s death. Riko says she understands loss—she misses her sister who moved far away. They decide to search for Kumanosuke.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko suggests Ashley ask her followers for help finding Kumanosuke. During a live stream, a commenter suggests rewatching her previous vlog. Ashley realizes she left Kumanosuke on a chair when she got distracted by a crane machine. They find Kumanosuke on a shelf at the store, dressed in Waloli Gurokawa clothes. Ashley gets him back. She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

* At the hospital, a nurse tries to convince Touka to eat her carrots. Touka refuses unless her terms are met: she wants specific books brought to her. The books are Hachslingen&#039;s &amp;quot;General Theory of the Origin of the Universe,&amp;quot; Cosinberg&#039;s &amp;quot;Celestial Forces,&amp;quot; and Dadatri&#039;s &amp;quot;Glimmer of the Planet.&amp;quot; She claims no one will hand them over. The nurse eventually gives up on the carrots.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Future Relationships|Future Relationships ~Current Status with Onee-sama~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha arrives, having been called by Ui. Ui admits she asked Iroha to search for the books Touka wanted, having written out the titles for her. Iroha apologizes, explaining she could not find them no matter how she searched. Touka becomes flustered.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu deduces that Touka is acting like Princess Kaguya, requesting treasures she knows do not exist to avoid eating her carrots. Exposed, Touka reluctantly eats a carrot. Nemu thanks Iroha and makes Touka apologize for the trouble. Touka gives a half-hearted apology.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the girls play a number-guessing game. Touka wins five times in a row. Iroha suggests Touka and Nemu call her something more casual. Touka chooses &amp;quot;Onee-sama.&amp;quot; Nemu asks to call her &amp;quot;Onee-san.&amp;quot; Iroha happily agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka eagerly awaits Iroha&#039;s arrival to play Old Maid, noting Iroha has won first place seven times in a row but that her face always gives the game away. Nemu observes to Ui that Touka frequently says &amp;quot;Onee-sama&amp;quot; now, likely because Iroha is her first elder sister. Nemu quietly reflects that Iroha is her first Onee-san as well. Iroha arrives and greets them all warmly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The nurse eventually gives up on the carrots.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Future Relationships|Future Relationships ~Current Status with Onee-sama~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha arrives, having been called by Ui. Ui admits she asked Iroha to search for the books Touka wanted, having written out the titles for her. Iroha apologizes, explaining she could not find them no matter how she searched. Touka becomes flustered.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu deduces that Touka is acting like Princess Kaguya, requesting treasures she knows do not exist to avoid eating her carrots. Exposed, Touka reluctantly eats a carrot. Nemu thanks Iroha and makes Touka apologize for the trouble. Touka gives a half-hearted apology.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the girls play a number-guessing game. Touka wins five times in a row. Iroha suggests Touka and Nemu call her something more casual. Touka chooses &amp;quot;Onee-sama.&amp;quot; Nemu asks to call her &amp;quot;Onee-san.&amp;quot; Iroha happily agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka eagerly awaits Iroha&#039;s arrival to play Old Maid, noting Iroha has won first place seven times in a row but that her face always gives the game away. Nemu observes to Ui that Touka frequently says &amp;quot;Onee-sama&amp;quot; now, likely because Iroha is her first elder sister. Nemu quietly reflects that Iroha is her first Onee-san as well. Iroha arrives and greets them all warmly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A familiar appears and attacks. Touka is overwhelmed. Iroha arrives and fights it off, guided by Kyubey. She expresses concern for Ui and her friends. Ui realizes it really is her big sister and Touka recognizes Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo finds an old photo album while cleaning. She shows it to Iroha, Tsuruno, Sana, Felicia, and Ui. The photos are from seven years ago, when Mikazuki Villa was a boarding house. Iroha notices a girl standing next to Yachiyo and her grandmother—it is Mifuyu with long hair. Yachiyo explains she knew Mifuyu back then and they fought Witches together. Tsuruno is shocked and Yachiyo says they did not leave a good first impression on each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seven Years Ago&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo fights her first Witch. She is scared but determined. Inside the barrier, she finds another Magical Girl crying. The girl is too frightened to fight. Yachiyo tries to cooperate, but the girl runs away. Yachiyo defeats the Witch alone. Afterward, she confronts the crying girl and tells her that if she cannot fight, she should quit. The girl begs Yachiyo not to leave her alone. Yachiyo is harsh but later realizes she is also scared. Both girls cry alone, afraid of being Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo is the leader of her model unit. The other members are starting to trust her. One member, Yellow, still does not approve of Yachiyo as leader. Yachiyo continues working hard. After her lesson, she defeats a Familiar. She encounters Mifuyu again. Mifuyu says she felt the Familiar&#039;s presence but was too scared to enter the barrier. Yachiyo is harsh again, but Mifuyu says she wants to talk properly. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives and invites Mifuyu to a candy store. Mifuyu has never been to one before. She is amazed by the syrup. The grandmother invites her to visit Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s unit has a successful photoshoot. She feels happy. Later, she senses a powerful Witch and enters the barrier. Two other Magical Girls are already fighting it. Yachiyo asks to join them, but they attack her. They say the Witch is their prey and threaten her. Mifuyu appears and says they should cooperate. The other girls ignore her and lure the Witch toward Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Mifuyu protects Yachiyo and gets injured. They escape together and rest in a park. Yachiyo shares her grief seed with Mifuyu. They introduce themselves. Yachiyo learns Mifuyu comes from a strict family with nine lessons. Mifuyu became a Magical Girl to dream freely. They bond over their shared struggles. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to visit again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu visits Mikazuki Villa. She brings sweets. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother shows the album and the magazine featuring Yachiyo&#039;s unit. The older boarders ask Mifuyu for a cute nickname for Yachiyo. Mifuyu suggests &amp;quot;Yacchan.&amp;quot; Yachiyo likes it. That night, a Witch appears near the station. They fight together and save a boarder from Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo suggests they team up because they are both weak and will become stronger together. Mifuyu agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Yachiyo and Mifuyu continue patrolling. Mifuyu&#039;s parents increase her lessons because they suspect she is sneaking out to play. Yachiyo feels guilty. They decide to reduce patrols for the next week.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s manager tells her the unit will be disbanded at the end of the month. Yachiyo is devastated. Her wish to keep the unit alive was meaningless. She meets Mifuyu at the candy store. Mifuyu has been scolded and had her phone taken away. She says she cannot endure her life anymore. Yachiyo blames herself for dragging Mifuyu around. A Witch appears. They fight it, but two other Magical Girls show up and attack them. The Witch kills one of them. Yachiyo and Mifuyu fight the Witch together and defeat it. The surviving Magical Girl takes the grief seed and leaves. Yachiyo and Mifuyu are broken. They ask Kyubey to let them quit, but he refuses.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo finds a grief seed left behind by the surviving Magical Girl. She realizes she saved the girl&#039;s life. Mifuyu says that even though their wishes were meaningless, they are still alive and can protect what is important. Yachiyo recalls her grandmother&#039;s words about leaving feelings behind through letters. She decides she and Mifuyu should exchange letters to leave their feelings behind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day at Mikazuki Villa&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu continue looking through the photo album. Mifuyu says the letters were their hope and their weakness. She suggests they stop exchanging letters because they are now seniors who must be strong. Yachiyo refuses. She says the letters keep her tied to reality and give her hope. Mifuyu agrees to continue. They find an old letter Yachiyo wrote. Yachiyo says she will write this year&#039;s letter. Mifuyu promises to write one too. They vow to exchange letters forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls in Kush, who transforms into a vampire and she wins the contest. Natsuki takes second place and Karin takes third place. A commemorative photo is taken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin completes her manga, &amp;quot;The Pumpkin King and the Ghost Servant.&amp;quot; She shows it to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede who praise it, giving it 100 points or more. Kaede appreciates the happy ending. Karin is moved by Kaede&#039;s approval. Manaka arrives with pumpkin pie for a taste test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the Sakae Halloween Festa, Karin arrives at the festival in her Pumpkin King costume. Alina is also present, already dressed as the ghost servant from Karin&#039;s manga. Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head of the executive committee thanks Karin for recommending Alina as the face of the event. Karin reflects on her hope that Alina will one day atone for her sins and reach a happy ending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka-senpai&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Day in the Life of Madoka-senpai===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This article details the events and stories taking place in, during and between the chapters of Arc 1 of [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]]. The narrative is structured to show the convergence of two distinct flows of action:&lt;br /&gt;
# The first is the personal, undated journey of [[Iroha Tamaki]] within the anomalous Kamihama City, which is much longer than Homura Akemi&#039;s usual 32 day loop. Her story begins on its own internal timeline, where the sequence of events is more important than specific calendar dates.&lt;br /&gt;
# The second is the dated countdown to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival from the original series, which starts with Day 1, Tuesday the 16th and ends on Day 32, Friday the 16th. Only the latter half of Homura&#039;s timeline is able to be approximately dated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the arc progresses, these two timelines intersect, and due to this, the latter half of the story is much easier to date. It should be noted that the timeline of the Magia Record game is highly anomalous, and thus any attempts at dating it are an educated guess at best. Therefore, this chronology should be used primarily to understand the sequence of major events, rather than as a calendar. In lack of contradictory context clues, the release date, or order of release of the event were used for their placement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that many of the events of Magia Record were written with the focus being on having fun side stories involving the characters, and thus, a definitive placement in the timeline wasn&#039;t a priority for many of them. For example, there&#039;s inconsistencies such as references to the same characters entering Kamihama for the first time in different events, or even cases where an event&#039;s tone at the time it is supposedly taking place in would be nigh-illogical considering other circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, the definitive time frame for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival was only established in [[Scene 0]], itself written and released after the majority of Magia Record and entirely after Arc 1 was finished. Notably, the event of [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams|Cherry Blossom Dreams]], which takes place supposedly shortly after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, itself happens during February. For these reasons, it is impossible to definitively state the order of events, or to accurately measure them against that of the original series, as with the addition of these inaccuracies, it is possible that none of the time frames of the original universe are applicable here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, given all these inconsistencies, any specific dates or placements in the Magia Record timelines, especially Arc 1, should be taken with a grain of salt, unless they definitively continue into one another in a clear sequence (such as the Main Story and Another Story in isolation). The original series&#039; timeframes are used for organizational and cross-reference purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The timeline of this Universe continues with [[Timeline/Magia Record/Arc 2]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==First Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha Tamaki is going to Kamihama by train, she is caught in [[Boxwood|Boxwood&#039;s Barrier]]. [[Kuroe]] is also on the same train from Takarazaki to Kamihama, as she&#039;d heard the rumor that Magical Girls can be saved there, as well as had the same dream herself. The train is engulfed by the Labyrinth and Kuroe wants to help Iroha whom she&#039;s never met before. Kuroe leaps out of the train&#039;s window to help her, but she quickly falls out of the mobile Labyrinth straight into Kamihama City, chastising herself for being weak. Kuroe is greeted by [[Mifuyu Azusa]] who was trailing the signature of the Witch and Kuroe is quickly recruited into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Little Bird&#039;s Star|Little Bird&#039;s Star]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha herself arrives in Kamihama City, compelled by recurring dreams of an unknown girl in a hospital room. Believing this girl to be a key to a buried memory, Iroha begins searching the city&#039;s Witch Labyrinths for clues. During her search, she rescues another Magical Girl later identified as Kaede Akino from aggressive Familiars. The girl warns Iroha about the unusual strength of Kamihama&#039;s Witches and, upon learning Iroha is searching for a small Kyubey, mentions having seen it in a specific Labyrinth. Kaede notes that the small Kyubey has been the only Kyubey around recently.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 1: Iroha of the Beginning|Chapter 1: Iroha: The Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha locates the Labyrinth and finds the small Kyubey who is incapable of speech, though Iroha can somehow understand it anyway, but is soon overwhelmed by a horde of Familiars. During the struggle, she has a vivid vision of the hospital room from her dreams. She is saved by Momoko Togame, who explains that the Witches in Kamihama are too powerful for most Magical Girls to handle alone. Momoko takes Iroha to meet Mitama Yakumo, the &amp;quot;Coordinator,&amp;quot; who can perform a &amp;quot;Soul Gem Alignment&amp;quot; to enhance a Magical Girl&#039;s power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the alignment, Iroha has another, clearer vision of the hospital room and the girl, feeling a strong sense of affection and nostalgia. After the procedure, Mitama reveals that she can see into the pasts of those whose Soul Gems she touches and asks Iroha what her wish was. Iroha is horrified to realize she cannot remember her own wish or the identity of the girl in her dreams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Driven by this revelation, Iroha rushes out to continue her search, but is intercepted by the powerful Magical Girl Yachiyo Nanami. Yachiyo, believing Iroha is not strong enough to survive in Kamihama, challenges her to a duel to force her to leave the city. Though Yachiyo wins, Momoko intervenes, and a compromise is reached: Yachiyo will allow Iroha to stay if she and Momoko can defeat a specific Witch, the Sandbox Witch, before Yachiyo can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The small Kyubey reappears and leads Iroha and Momoko directly to the Sandbox Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Although Yachiyo defeats the Witch first, she gives Iroha a final chance to prove herself by defeating the Witch alone, which Iroha successfully does. Yachiyo admits she thought Iroha would be fine from the start. However, Yachiyo then reveals her true objective: she believes the small Kyubey is a dangerous irregularity and moves to eliminate it. Yachiyo explains she was trying to draw the small Kyubey out, as all the other Kyubeys in Kamihama have disappeared. Iroha throws herself in the way to protect it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the confrontation, as Iroha protects the small Kyubey, by touching it a flood of memories is unlocked. She remembers her little sister, Ui Tamaki, who was chronically ill and hospitalized. Iroha recalls her wish to Kyubey: &amp;quot;Please cure Ui! Make my precious little sister healthy!&amp;quot; She also realizes with horror that she had completely forgotten Ui&#039;s existence, living her life as if she never had a sister, with no memory of her until that moment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha awakens back at Mitama&#039;s office, having been carried there by Momoko after fainting. She explains her recovered memory to Momoko and Mitama. Despite their warnings that the memory could be false, Iroha declares that she must continue her investigation in Kamihama. Now her goal is not just to understand her dreams, but to find the cause of Ui&#039;s disappearance and uncover the truth behind her own forgotten wish. Momoko resolves to help Iroha, and Mitama agrees to help as well for a price. Mitama then asks Iroha to give the small Kyubey a name. Iroha asks Lil&#039; Kyubey if he will help her find Ui, and he agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Second Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, now at her home in Takarazaki City, understands the reason for the empty space in her room: it once belonged to her sister, Ui. She recalls memories of Ui and her two friends from the hospital, Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, even remembering specific details like how Nemu loved writing and published stories online, or how Touka was very smart. Iroha resolves to visit the hospital to find them, hopeful they will remember Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 2: The Rules of Friendship|Chapter 2: The Rules of Friendships]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0001 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* While Mitama is running her shop, she reads a detective novel called “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” A white tabby kitten from next door starts visiting her during this time and she names him Doyle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 1: The Many-Worlds Interpretation Poesy|The Case Files of the Coordinator 1: The Many-Worlds Interpretation Poesy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko comes for an adjustment and sits in the back to keep Mitama company. After a client leaves, Mitama feels strange and asks Momoko about the previous day after sunset. Momoko says they stayed in the shop watching over Iroha, but Mitama saw a memory during the adjustment: in that memory, she and Momoko patrolled an alley together and Mitama realizes the memory does not match reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha goes to the hospital with Lil&#039; Kyubey&#039;s help to use her cellphone but is unable to locate Touka and Nemu, as she does not have a visitor pass and is not family. She reflects on their personalities and their frequent arguments, which Ui often mediated. As Iroha recalls one of their fights where they declared they were &amp;quot;not friends anymore,&amp;quot; she is approached by Yachiyo. She warns Iroha about a dangerous Rumor in Kamihama called the &amp;quot;Rule of Ending Friendships.&amp;quot; She explains that if two friends fight and one later apologizes to make up, a monster will kidnap the one who apologized. Yachiyo states this is one of several Rumors in Kamihama that have become reality, leading to people disappearing and tells Iroha to be careful. Iroha later discusses this rumor with Mitama, who explains that Momoko is not likely to believe anything from Yachiyo, as they stopped getting along after Yachiyo became a model.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after this conversation, Iroha witnesses an argument between Momoko Togame&#039;s teammates, Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. Momoko asks Iroha to catch Rena, but Rena fights her off and even transforms into Iroha to surprise her. Momoko formally introduces Kaede and explains the fight is over sweets. She figures Rena will apologize later. The argument escalates, and both girls declare they are &amp;quot;not friends anymore&amp;quot; before Rena storms off. Momoko dismisses Iroha&#039;s concern about the Rumor, asserting that rumors are not true. Iroha notes that Momoko seems dismissive of the information specifically because it came from Yachiyo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami enters Kamihama City and saves Rena from a Stacey Witch. Rena reveals that Kamihama has the opposite problem to other cities: an overabundance of powerful Witches. Mami realizes Kamihama is an anomaly. While investigating, she encounters a powerful Familiar and a strange, non-Witch Barrier, solidifying her decision to investigate the city&#039;s mysteries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 2: Only this City is Different|Another Story Chapter 2: Only this City is Different]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Undated Period==&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama performs adjustments on more Magical Girls and sees more memories that should not exist. She pieces them together and finds a Kamihama slightly different from her own which she dubs the “Alternate Kamihama.” Over the next two days, several Magical Girls with memories of the other world come for adjustments and Mitama does not reveal whose memories she saw out of respect to her clients&#039; privacy, but she shares information with Momoko without naming names.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that in the Alternate Kamihama, Momoko and Mitama are a team of two, Yachiyo acts like Momoko’s big sister, Kaede is on Nanaka’s team and that Kako is missing. There is also a serious rivalry between Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team in the Sankyo Ward, as both teams had lost their youngest members, Kako and Ayame. Yachiyo is also in charge there but struggles to keep the order. Kako and Ayame are friends in this world, but Mitama has not seen either of them in the other world. Mitama almost reveals private information about Karin and an older student but stops herself. A small detail is that Mitama asks Momoko about an exclusive wallpaper of the Mocha Bunny, and Momoko sends her a link. Mitama notices the crucial detail that in the Alternate Kamihama, Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red, but in their world, it is blue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, a wounded Magical Girl is brought to Mitama’s shop and Mitama heals her with adjustments. This girl has more memories of the Alternate Kamihama than any previous client and the situation there is dire. Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team both blame each other for crossing a line first and the conflict spreads from Sankyo Ward to other wards. Three friends from the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira, Seika and Mito, had their Soul Gems taken and were locked in separate rooms and a voice from inside their Soul Gems asked for the words in their hearts. The three answered “Four-leaf clover” and got their gems back, but one girl fainted from fatigue. Mitama suspects someone mistook them for a threat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks about Iroha and Kyubey, worrying about Iroha in the other world. Mitama says no one has seen Iroha there and that the small Kyubey is also missing, but the normal Kyubey still exists in the Alternate Kamihama. Momoko has not seen Kyubey in their own world for months. Mitama refuses to share more due to confidentiality and calls herself an unreliable narrator, so Momoko agrees to stay as her investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about how the memories were gathered, and that a few days ago, a group of friends from Kamihama ended up in the Alternate Kamihama. They were together one second and scattered the next, and though they searched for each other and talked to many Magical Girls along the way, they noticed something was wrong. One of them said they cannot tell anyone how they got there and Mitama almost forgot to mention that Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red in the other world, yet Momoko is not impressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Doyle meows at Mitama and she thinks he wants her to apologize to Momoko and she also thinks about the one secret she cannot tell anyone: the Alternate Kamihama is a world without Witches. Then she finds a phone that a client left behind and she accidentally turns it on, seeing that the wallpaper shows Mocha Bunny with a red bow tie, making Mitama wonder if the phone came from the other world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama keeps the phone, as she cannot return it yet because schedules do not match. She learns about Rumors, or Uwasa in Kamihama: mysterious beings that make rumors come true. Momoko tells her about the Rumor of the Rule of Ending Friendships, which nearly trapped Kaede and Rena forever. Mitama reveals that in the Alternate Kamihama, Kaede and Rena are very close and never argue, but that Rena works alone there. Momoko is no longer surprised by anything Mitama says.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko advises Mitama to record all details about the Alternate Kamihama while they are fresh and Mitama starts writing “The Case Files of the Coordinator.” She notes the color of Mocha Bunny’s bow tie, team relationships, and the disappearances of Kako and Ayame. While writing, Nanaka walks in to return a borrowed book and overhears Mitama say that Kako disappeared, prompting Mitama to explain everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka asks many questions, joking about Mitama’s inability to keep secrets. Then she asks seriously why the Sankyo Ward is the source of conflict in the other world and she suspects there is more to the situation. She asks Mitama to tell her about the incident that sparked the conflict and after hearing her out, Nanaka says she will keep the information to herself for now. She advises Mitama to talk directly to the owner of the phone from the other world and that the girls who ended up there know how they got there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama meets the girl who left the phone and she does not hesitate to tell the truth because Mitama would see it in her memories anyway. The girl explains the Rumor of Parallel Memories. The rumor says that if you get an item of proof from a parallel world and pray to the central tower, you can travel to and from a parallel Kamihama. The world they visited was a dream projected by the Rumor and it shows a world that “could be.” The girl and her friends all had the same dream at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama tells Momoko the Alternate Kamihama was just a dream and Momoko is relieved. Mitama explains the Mandela effect phenomenon: many people misremember the same fact, leading to a theory that those are memories from a parallel world. The Rumor of Parallel Memories lets you enter a dream of such a world and a lot of girls fell victim to it, including Ren, Kokoro, and Karin, who also got a strange sketchbook and ended up in the world of her own manga, which was traumatic. The dream world is dangerous because one&#039;s are asleep the entire time, but to leave, they can simply wish to go back. The issue is that if someone does not know that, they could waste away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks what kind of world the girls went to and Mitama admits it was a world without Witches. Momoko is upset Mitama kept that secret and asks if all worlds without Witches are that violent, but Mitama says no, clarifying that the fighting in the Alternate Kamihama had nothing to do with Witches. Their own world has Witches and people still fight and that the Alternate Kamihama is just one possibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitama tells Nanaka the Rumor explanation, but Nanaka still wonders why there was so much fighting, and that not all worlds without Witches would be that hostile. She thinks someone is behind the conflict and she names Hanna Sarasa, who is dead in this world. Nanaka says the targets in the Alternate Kamihama were all connected to Hanna, and that the method matches Hanna’s style: using suggestion to bend wills, laying traps, spreading rumors, making people doubt everyone. The trap for the Daito Apartment Complex girls feels like someone who enjoys watching others suffer. While Mitama is convinced, she notes the Alternate Kamihama is not real and Nanaka also agrees it is a nightmare that never became reality because Hanna died. Then Nanaka mentions a recent incident: a certain book nearly destroyed her friendship with Kako. It felt deliberate, but thankfully Hanna is dead, though Mitama becomes unsettled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0002 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama asks herself why she is still looking into the case, recalling two girls with bad experiences. Felicia saw a nightmare in the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth and was despondent for days, but she does not remember anything. Reira also tapped a weird link in a Magical Girls’ group chat and she started having nightmares that made things awkward between her and her best friend Seika. Mitama notes that nightmares testing friendships cannot be a coincidence and that the girls who ended up in the Alternate Kamihama also got into trouble because of a phone. Mitama connects the dots and creates a vague profile: a mean-spirited person who likes to show nightmares and test hearts, using a phone, located in Endless Mirrors, the large Labyrinth inside the Mirror Witch’s Mansion and where all the magic of Kamihama gathers. Mitama decides to take a look and asks Reira about the group chat. The account that posted the link has been deleted, but the culprit might still watch with another account. Mitama posts a message asking if anyone has had bad experiences related to Endless Mirrors, hoping the culprit will see it. She then receives a video chat invitation from a caller ID: H. S.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna Sarasa appears on the video call and says she is not the Hanna Sarasa that Mitama knows. She is the Hanna from a parallel world and that she is glad Mitama finally figured things out. She has been playing hide-and-seek and running out of time. She is in Endless Mirrors and tells Mitama to come alone, claiming she can tell Mitama about the serious consequences of her wish, which Mitama kept secret. She wonders if her wish brought Hanna to this world and she closes her shop early to go to Endless Mirrors. Momoko notices something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside Endless Mirrors, Hanna watches Mitama through copies, using the power of suggestion to control people. Mitama asks if the Alternate Kamihama is where Hanna is from and she confirms. She claims the world Mitama assumed was just a dream actually exists and that the dream shown by the Rumor happens to be exactly like Hanna’s world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna explains there is a narrow tunnel connecting the two worlds and that the exit in Mitama’s world is inside Endless Mirrors. A Magical Girl with the power to connect spaces, possibly the alternate version of Shizuku, was forced by Hanna to use all her power to open the hole. Hanna wanted to find Mikoto Sena, who had disappeared in her world. The tunnel is too small for a person, only big enough for a phone, but Hanna used the copies and Familiars in Endless Mirrors to do her work. She had tossed a phone through the hole and waited for someone to pick it up, and the Rumor of Parallel Memories did the rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna admits she is not actually in Endless Mirrors, but in an abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama. The background image was fake and the tunnel will close in a few days. The Endless Mirrors Familiars built a magical projector that can exchange things of equal value between the two worlds, an if Mitama turns the handle, they will trade places: Mitama goes to the Alternate Kamihama, and Hanna comes to Mitama’s world. Hanna has been using her power of suggestion on Mitama and she makes her turn the handle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in the dark abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama and Hanna arrives in Mitama’s world. Hanna explains her full plan: she wanted to find Mikoto and she tested her methods on Nanaka and Kako, then on the Daito girls and Felicia. She left subtle hints to lure Mitama to Endless Mirrors and Mitama’s curiosity and guilt made her the perfect bait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, who had followed Mitama, telepathically messages her and Momoko catches Hanna off-guard. She turns the handle of the projector in reverse and Mitama returns to her own world while Hanna goes back to the Alternate Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The tunnel closes a few days later and Momoko does not remember much of the incident. Mitama does not either; her last memory is reaching for the handle and Momoko explains what happened. The projector is destroyed, and Hanna cannot return. Mitama warns everyone to stay away from Endless Mirrors for a few days and nothing else happens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects on how she almost became the kitten killed by curiosity. But it was guilt that trapped her instead. She decides will continue to act as a neutral Coordinator, hiding secrets behind confidentiality and she plays with Doyle using a new foxtail cat toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after the initial argument, Momoko notes that Rena Minami has not apologized to Kaede, which is unusual behavior. Kaede spends her time alone, and Momoko expresses worry for her. During this time, Iroha encounters a witch and rescues Kaede. Kaede admits she was running away from Momoko to avoid being forced to see Rena, and that she wants to apologize but doesn&#039;t think she can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several more days later, Momoko decides to intervene in the dispute. Iroha offers to help, and Momoko accepts, promising to aid Iroha in her search for Ui in return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko devises a plan to lure Rena and Kaede to the same location. The plan involves waiting for Rena at her student committee meeting. Iroha waits for a long time, but Momoko calls to say the meeting was cancelled and Rena went home early. Momoko tells Iroha to find Rena at the game center. Iroha finds Rena at the arcade playing a game and attempts to lure her to an abandoned construction site with a false story about a live show from Sayuki Fumino, Rena&#039;s favorite idol. Rena sees through the ruse. Kaede arrives and confronts Rena directly, demanding an apology. When Rena refuses, Kaede attempts to apologize herself. Rena reacts with panic and tries to stop her, revealing her belief in the Rule of Ending Friendships Rumor and her fear that an apology would cause Kaede to be taken. Rena denies this and runs off. Iroha and Kaede chase her and run into Momoko, but Kaede realizes it&#039;s a transformed Rena. Rena returns to her normal appearance and admits she believes in the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Kaede completes her apology, a strange Labyrinth, distinct from a Witch&#039;s Barrier, manifests. Monstrous Familiars appear, seize Kaede, and drag her away, confirming the Rumor&#039;s power. Rena runs off, determined to find a solution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Iroha regroup and Momoko expresses more concern over Rena Minami&#039;s departure than Kaede Akino&#039;s capture, but trusts that Rena had a reason.  Iroha suggests asking Mitama for help. Momoko reveals that Mitama accepts payment in Grief Seeds, and she&#039;s running low. Lil&#039; Kyubey then finds Rena, who was looking for Momoko. They follow the residual magic trail and find Rena, who reveals she sought information from Yachiyo on how to counter the Rumor. The group returns to the abandoned construction site, where Rena shouts an apology to Kaede to lure out the entity. The Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth manifests, and a brainwashed Kaede appears, followed by monstrous Familiars. The Uwasa captures Rena too and Yachiyo arrives, confirms the Rumor&#039;s power, and joins the fight. Yachiyo subdues the possessed Kaede, and Momoko and Iroha proceed deeper into the Labyrinth and find the Uwasa, &amp;quot;Ms. Staircase,&amp;quot; which has also possessed Rena. Momoko and Iroha try attacking the witch, but it has no effect. Yachiyo then arrives, having knocked Kaede out. Yachiyo admits she doesn&#039;t know how to defeat the witch either. Kaede returns and teams up with a now brainwashed Rena. Yachiyo knocks them out and notes the witch may have increased their powers, at the cost of darkening their Soul Gems. Yachiyo catches up and defeats both possessed girls to neutralize the threat without serious injury. Iroha proposes a coordinated attack to counteract the Uwasa&#039;s nature, so Iroha, Momoko, and Yachiyo combine their attacks and destroy the Uwasa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Yachiyo provides a Grief Seed to revive the exhausted Kaede and Iroha also uses her healing powers to help awaken her. Yachiyo identifies the entity as an &amp;quot;Uwasa,&amp;quot; a being distinct from Witches and Familiars that exists to protect a Rumor. Afterward, the girls find Rena and Kaede. Kaede awakens and reconciles with Rena. The four girls then all share pudding together, affirming their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, to fulfill her promise, Momoko has Rena use her transformation magic to investigate the hospital records. Rena confirms that Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi were real patients discharged around the same time as Ui. However, Rena finds no record of Ui Tamaki&#039;s existence at the hospital. Despite this setback, Iroha resolves to continue her search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Iroha visits Mitama for a Soul Gem alignment. During the procedure, Mitama&#039;s hunger causes Iroha to see visions of food. Momoko arrives and notes Mitama&#039;s treatments are ineffective when she is hungry. The three go to Mitama&#039;s kitchen, where her dangerous cooking prompts Iroha to recall memories of cooking for her sister, Ui. Iroha remembers a specific incident where she burned hamburg steak for Ui in the hospital, but her mother brought a replacement, and Ui enjoyed the meal regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha enters the Mirror Mansion and finds Mitama already there. Mitama warns her to be careful and explains the mansion is the lair of the Mirror Witch. A familiar throws Iroha into a barrier where she fights a copy of herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side|Mirrors Story Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After defeating the duplicate, Iroha returns to the entrance. Mitama explains the barrier is populated by replicas and the Mirror Witch lies at the end. Iroha decides to prepare herself to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 2: Journey to the End|Mirrors Story Layer 2: Journey to the End]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the false Kaede is defeated, Kaede explains she entered with Momoko and Rena but got separated. Yachiyo explains the barrier constantly changes. The group returns to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 4: Lost in the Layers|Mirrors Story Layer 4: Lost in the Layers]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They find Ria Ami, who claims to be Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo barely remembers her. Ria says she cannot forgive the fakes for duplicating her beauty. Ria ignores Yachiyo&#039;s warning about a mirror and Yachiyo suddenly disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...|Mirrors Story Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Yachiyo finds Momoko, who attacks her, believing Yachiyo is a fake. The real Yachiyo realizes Momoko encountered a replica. They destroy the false Yachiyo together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 8: A Terrible Rendition|Mirrors Story Layer 8: A Terrible Rendition]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After leaving the barrier, the group departs. Iroha hangs back with Mitama and says she felt something off in the barrier. Mitama encourages her to go deeper but warns her not to lose herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors11&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss|Mirrors Story Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after the defeat of the Uwasa of Ending Friendships, Iroha has found no new clues about Ui, Touka Satomi, or Nemu Hiiragi. Kaede tells Iroha and Rena a rumor that the children kidnapped by the previous Uwasa returned after its defeat. This gives Iroha the idea that if she defeats other Rumors, people trapped by them, including Ui, might be freed. She recalls a conversation where Ui spoke about imagination becoming reality, which strengthens her resolve. Iroha decides to actively investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors and she meets Mitama, who suggests Iroha look into a rumor about a shrine in Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 3: Kamihama Rumor File|Chapter 3: Kamihama Rumor Files]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, in Mizuna Ward, Iroha has no success finding information about the shrine rumor. She meets Tsuruno Yui, a Magical Girl who calls herself the &amp;quot;Mightiest.&amp;quot; Tsuruno tells Iroha about the &amp;quot;Séance Shrine&amp;quot; rumor, which claims it can reunite people with those they yearn to see. Iroha decides this is a promising lead to find Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsuruno tasks Iroha with investigating a local legend about a tragic couple, which may connect to the Séance Shrine rumor. Tsuruno explains the folk tale in detail: a woman whose lover was killed found a paper with his handwriting, went to the place written on it, and was able to meet his ghost. She suggests Iroha investigate the path while she investigates shrines. Iroha completes a stamp rally related to the legend. She discovers the path is part of a town renewal project meant for couples and finds she only has half the map, requiring a partner with a &amp;quot;Sheet B.&amp;quot; Yachiyo appears, coincidentally in possession of Sheet B. They combine their sheets, which reveals a map that leads them to Mizuna Shrine. Before they leave, Yachiyo points out Iroha dropped her notebook, which Iroha hurriedly claims is her homework. At the final stamp rally location, a woman makes them confess their feelings for each other to get a matchmaking charm. Afterward, Yachiyo notices Iroha is writing in a &amp;quot;Kamihama Mystery Notes&amp;quot; notebook, and Iroha admits she&#039;s copying Yachiyo. Yachiyo determines this is not the Séance Shrine, and they part ways. Iroha agrees to help Tsuruno investigate further the next day. Later, Iroha spots a shrine on a rooftop from a train.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami discusses Kamihama City&#039;s anomalies with Kyubey, who agrees to share information. She then meets Kyoko and informs her about the high concentration of Witches in Kamihama. Kyoko is eager to hunt there but promises to leave if it becomes too dangerous. Mami remains concerned about the Witch shortage elsewhere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha investigates the rooftop shrine location. She senses strong magic, enters a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, and is overwhelmed by powerful Familiars. Yachiyo arrives and assists her and together, they defeat the Witch. After the battle, a store sale gives Yachiyo a new idea after she uncharacteristically begged Iroha for help getting to the sale. She deduces the Séance Shrine is Mizuna Shrine, but it must be visited at night just like in the folk tale. Yachiyo invites Iroha to investigate the shrine that night, and Iroha requests to bring Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno sneak into Mizuna Shrine after hours. Tsuruno reveals that she and Yachiyo are former teammates and Yachiyo explains the Rumor of the Séance Shrine: those who write a name on a wooden plaque and pray at the shrine will be reunited with that person, but risk being trapped in bliss. They perform the ritual. Iroha prays to be reunited with Ui. Tsuruno provokes the Uwasa, which manifests and attacks. Yachiyo urges Iroha to complete the ritual as the Uwasa&#039;s minions approach and Iroha does so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha finds herself alone in a twilight version of the shrine. A false version of Ui appears but only repeats a cryptic message: &amp;quot;To change your fate, come to Kamihama City... Here, Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;quot; The illusion then shatters and Iroha locates Yachiyo, who is confronted by a manifestation of her missing friend, Mifuyu Azusa. Yachiyo determines this Mifuyu is an imposter created by the Uwasa and the two defeat her. Afterward, Iroha uses her Grief Seed to purify Yachiyo&#039;s Soul Gem, and they realize they are both searching for someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami encounters Kaede, who is hesitating to enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Mami invites Kaede to join her, and they defeat the Witch together. Afterwards, Kaede tells Mami about her recent experience with a &amp;quot;Rumor,&amp;quot; an entity with a magical signature unlike a Witch or Magical Girl. Mami dismisses the story as a coincidence but is intrigued by the unknown energy. To avoid involving Kaede in further conflict, Mami decides to investigate the Rumor alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 3: The Same Appearance as Us|Another Story Chapter 3: The Same Appearance as Us]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno joins with the two of them and the Uwasa of the Séance Shrine manifests to attack them directly. The trio&#039;s attacks prove ineffective and Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem becomes critically corrupted during the fight. As she nears her limit, an unknown power erupts from within her. This power, her Doppel, which consumes the impurities in her Soul Gem, destroys the Uwasa and leaves her Soul Gem completely purified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the battle, Mami enters the Rumor&#039;s Barrier and witnesses Iroha unleash her Doppel. Mistaking it for a human-disguised Witch, Mami attacks Iroha, who tries and fails to summon her Doppel again to defend herself. The confrontation is interrupted by Momoko Togame, forcing Mami to retreat, but she vows to pursue Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Homura arrive in Kamihama City and they sense a Witch and enter its Barrier, finding a Magical Girl fighting it. The Witch escapes and the Barrier vanishes. Madoka asks if the girl is alright, but she leaves and Madoka runs off after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname in Magia Record#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magical Girl feels exhausted from overusing magic. Madoka finds her and guides her to a bench. Madoka offers to buy her a drink. Homura appears and offers to get it. The girl thanks Madoka and introduces herself as Shizuku Hozumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka helped. Madoka says it was because Shizuku looked like she was in pain. Shizuku calls Madoka kind. Madoka says it is bad to be alone. Shizuku says being alone is fine and she will find where she belongs. Madoka suggests Shizuku could create her own place to belong. Homura returns with drinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka became a Magical Girl. Madoka explains she has no particular talent and wanted to be useful to someone. Shizuku realizes Madoka made a place for herself by becoming a Magical Girl. She thanks Madoka for giving her hope and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka makes an offering at a shrine, praying for everyone&#039;s happiness. It rains and stops, leaving Madoka wet. A girl offers her a handkerchief and explains they missed the bus. Madoka notices the girl has a book she loves. The girl admits it is her favorite. Madoka introduces herself and the girl says her name is Kako Natsume. They talk about the book until the bus arrives and part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka goes to a bookstore and buys the sequel. Kako is also there. Kako asks if Madoka is a Magical Girl, having noticed her Soul Gem ring, and reveals she is one as well. Kako invites Madoka on a night-time adventure at her school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami finds Kyoko and, relieved she has not yet gone to Kamihama, recounts the event and describes Iroha as a &amp;quot;humanoid Witch.&amp;quot; She pleads with Kyoko to avoid the city and offers to provide her with Grief Seeds, to which Kyoko reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Concurrently, Kaede, Rena, and Momoko discuss the incident. They conclude it was a misunderstanding and speculate they will meet Mami again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, after Yachiyo uses Iroha&#039;s phone to explain the situation to Iroha&#039;s mother and get permission for her to stay out, Yachiyo takes Iroha to her home, Mikazuki Villa, as her assistant. Yachiyo formally invites Iroha to be her assistant and use the villa as a base to investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors together. Iroha accepts. Tsuruno arrives and declares herself part of the team as well, and then reveals that a girl named Nemu Hiiragi is a regular customer at her family&#039;s restaurant, providing Iroha with a significant new lead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after the defeat of the Séance Shrine Uwasa, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno attempt to find Nemu Hiiragi at her family&#039;s restaurant in Sankyo Ward, but learn she only visits once a month. Yachiyo suggests using a phone book to find Nemu&#039;s home address, but their search yields no results. Iroha reveals her family will move overseas and she will soon relocate to Kamihama and while searching, Iroha drinks water from a &amp;quot;Water Station with the Owl Sign.&amp;quot; After drinking, she begins to find pieces of paper with decreasing numbers.

* The next morning, the countdown has reached 10. Kyoko returns to Kamihama to investigate and meets Yachiyo Nanami, who explains the phenomenon is a Rumor. Kyoko refuses Yachiyo&#039;s offer to help, resolving to confront the threat alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After learning Nemu&#039;s family were regulars, Iroha searches eats at Banbanzai daily. Yachiyo suggests she use a phonebook, but her visits to three different houses are unsuccessful. Iroha and another girl receive water from an old man at a shop with an owl sign. Later, Iroha returns to the Water Station but finds it has vanished. She meets the girl she saw earlier, Felicia Mitsuki, another Magical Girl and receives the numbered papers. Iroha convinces Felicia to help investigate the Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 4: The Guardians of Rumors|Chapter 4: The Guardians of the Uwasa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During this time, Iroha tells Yachiyo over the phone that she would be moving because her father was going abroad for work, and her mother was accompanying him. She plans to stay at a dormitory attached to her new school, which is also where Tsuruno went, but there were no rooms available. While discussing this, the numbered papers begin falling on Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Kyoko encounters Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. They lead her to Tsuruno Yui&#039;s restaurant, where Kyoko learns the others are also investigating the Rumor. The three Magical Girls fight a Witch together, and after the battle, Rena and Kaede identify Kyoko&#039;s affliction as the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water&amp;quot; and offer to help. Kyoko, reminded of her past with Mami, rejects their offer and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Separately, Yachiyo encounters Kyoko Sakura, who is also affected by the Rumor. Yachiyo proposes they investigate together, but Kyoko refuses, stating that Uwasa are not Witches and do not provide Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later the same day, Iroha and Felicia investigate the Rumor, where Felicia&#039;s reckless fighting style nearly injures Iroha against a Witch. Felicia explains she became a Magical Girl for revenge against the Witch that killed her parents. The Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and reveals the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water,&amp;quot; which states a disaster will befall those who drank the water after 24 hours. The countdown shows they have less than five hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Members of a group called the Wings of the Magius appear and attempt to stop them from pursuing the Uwasa. They state their goal is to &amp;quot;liberate&amp;quot; all Magical Girls and that the Rumors are essential to this plan. Felicia pretends to betray the group to infiltrate the Wings, a plan that Yachiyo had actually hired her for. However, she later genuinely defects after they offer her a substantial reward. Iroha confronts Felicia, who claims nothing could make her life worse. Iroha learns about Felicia&#039;s treasured stuffed animal, a cow her parents gave her. Iroha convinces Felicia that losing it would be a personal disaster. Felicia rejoins the group and reveals the Wings&#039; base is under a school in Sankyo Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout this ordeal, Kyoko has followed Iroha&#039;s group and when they&#039;re confronted the Black Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, she assists them in their fight. The countdown reaches one hour.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With less than one hour remaining, the team is confronted by the White Feathers, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who use sound-based magic. Tsuruno devises a plan to counter their attacks by creating a loud noise to disrupt the sound waves. The team defeats the Amane sisters, but then they unleash powerful entities from their bodies, that they call &amp;quot;Doppels,&amp;quot; which they describe as a projection of their emotions and the key to liberating Magical Girls. The team withstands the Doppel&#039;s attack, and with 30 minutes remaining, Yachiyo and Tsuruno stay behind to hold off the remaining White Feathers. Iroha, Felicia, and Kyoko proceed into the Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth, and with 10 minutes remaining, they locate the Uwasa of the Misery Water, a large cup-like creature protected by falling boulders. Iroha&#039;s long-range attack proves ineffective, and Felicia devises a plan to use the falling boulders as platforms to reach the Uwasa. With one minute remaining, Felicia executes her plan and launches her attack on the Uwasa and successfully defeats it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Tsuruno subdue the Amane sisters, but then Mifuyu, Yachiyo&#039;s missing friend, appears and reveals she is a high-ranking member of the Wings of the Magius. She refuses to return with Yachiyo, stating her faith in the Magius&#039; goal of liberation. Iroha asks Mifuyu if she knows Ui Tamaki, and she suggests Ui could be a member of the Wings of the Magius but claims to have no specific knowledge. With this, Mifuyu and the Amane sisters retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo resolves to continue eliminating Rumors to confront the Wings of the Magius and save Mifuyu. Iroha agrees to continue as her assistant, believing the Wings are connected to Ui&#039;s disappearance. Tsuruno also pledges her help and Kyoko departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group walks home and Iroha invites Felicia to stop working as a mercenary and team up as friends. Yachiyo offers Felicia room and board at Mikazuki Villa in exchange for her services, and Tsuruno offers Felicia a job at her family&#039;s restaurant, which includes meals. Yachiyo then invites Iroha to live at Mikazuki Villa as well, to make their investigations easier. Iroha&#039;s parents approve the arrangement.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Kyoko meets Mami and explains that the &amp;quot;humanoid Witch&amp;quot; was a Doppel. Mami confronts Kyoko for disobeying her and expresses a desire to protect her as a former friend. Kyoko rejects this, stating she has changed and believes their paths are destined to remain separate. She reaffirms her resolve to live only for herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Iroha moves into Mikazuki Villa and she and Yachiyo reaffirm their commitment to find Ui and Mifuyu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after Madoka&#039;s first visit, Kako and Madoka meet at the school to go to the roof and a cat startles them. Kako suggests transforming and using their powers to reach the roof. Once there, Kako tells Madoka to look at the starry sky, explaining that on this day you can see the most beautiful stars. Kako admits she is shy but can talk properly with Madoka, and this star viewing is her thanks. Madoka says Kako&#039;s honest feelings reached her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Mami fight a Witch. A normal person is kidnapped and brought into the Barrier. Mami tells Madoka to rescue the person while she handles the Witch. A Magical Girl appears, impressed Madoka is helping people. She introduces herself as Sasara Minagi, the knight who protects the city. She asks Madoka to let her save the victim so Madoka can help Mami. Madoka agrees and returns to Mami. Together they defeat the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier vanishes and they meet Sasara outside. Sasara says she took the victim to the hospital. Sasara compliments their strength and offers to help if they are in trouble, explaining that rescuing people is her specialty and protecting everyone is her creed. Madoka says she is cool. Sasara says she is happy to meet Magical Girls like them, explaining that Kamihama has more Witches, drawing Magical Girls who only care about fighting, not saving people. Sasara became a knight because she cannot accept people being sacrificed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami agrees. Sasara says she rarely met others who think this way. Madoka says she became a Magical Girl to help people and is like Sasara. Sasara calls Madoka incredible. Mami says Madoka might become the strongest Magical Girl someday, but has a long way to go. Sasara says both are worthy of the title &amp;quot;knight.&amp;quot; When Mami points out they use projectile weapons, Sasara suggests they can be a rescue team. She offers to team up, but Madoka and Mami note they are not always in Kamihama. Madoka offers to help if Sasara is in trouble while they are there. Sasara thanks them and departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami says Madoka is too kind and honest, wondering if she is walking a path of battle. Madoka points out Mami walks the same path, saying she aspired to be like Mami. Mami thanks her but advises running away if truly in danger. Madoka says it is fine, as she does not have the courage to sacrifice herself. Mami invites her for tea once they return to Mitakihara. Madoka narrates her wish to protect everyone with her own power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, at Mikazuki Villa, Felicia returns with souvenirs. She criticizes Iroha&#039;s cooking, and the group goes to Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant. Felicia laughs at the revelation that Tsuruno&#039;s politically-influential family now runs a Chinese restaurant, hurting Tsuruno&#039;s feelings. Iroha scolds Felicia for her insensitivity, causing Felicia to run off crying. Felicia finds Tsuruno at a park and apologizes. They reconcile, and Iroha apologizes for her harshness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Kyoko Sakura fights a witch in Kamihama City after moving there in search of them, but Felicia Mitsuki appears and delivers the killing blow first. They argue over the Grief Seed until Felicia suggests sharing it, and Kyoko concedes since the seed is used up anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kyoko|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kyoko]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she&#039;s hungry, Kyoko follows Felicia to Mitama&#039;s shop, where Mitama is looking for magical girls to taste test her cooking. When Mitama prepares to cook, the girls quickly realize she cannot handle a knife when it flies into the ceiling, forcing them to take over cutting and peeling. After they prepare the ingredients, Mitama adds the seasoning, but the girls later discover she had been using paint.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls refuse to let Mitama cook again and order her to get something ready-made instead. Mitama goes shopping with Felicia while Kyoko waits, and the result is a chaotic mix of items Felicia added. The meal is horrible, but Kyoko, who never wastes food, eats it all anyway and passes out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kyoko wakes up, she notices her body feels hot. Felicia explains she used her powers on their Soul Gems while they were unconscious, awakening Kyoko&#039;s magic. Kyoko realizes the heat is her own power emerging, and Felicia assures her she will get used to it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama offers the girls a limited-time service and mentions causing trouble recently when she made sweets for some girls. Kyoko asks if she means Mami Tomoe, and when Mitama asks if they are friends, Kyoko says she is kind of like one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Kyoko depart, with Kyoko remarking that Mitama&#039;s food is the kind you only have once in a lifetime, while Mitama is happy to have new customers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha returns to the Mirror Mansion. Tsuruno appears and insists they go in together, saying the copies make good training opponents. Unbeknownst to Iroha, Yachiyo asked Tsuruno to look out for her. They hear someone laughing and find Emiri and three duplicates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors12&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 12: Iroha, Again|Mirrors Story Layer 12: Iroha, Again]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Emiris explain the original got separated from her friends. One Emiri says she is the original and must search for them. She asks Iroha and Tsuruno to find Hinano and Rika.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors13&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 13 - 24#Layer 13: A Lively Meeting|Mirrors Story Layer 13: A Lively Meeting]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Konoha contacts Yachiyo and asks to speak in person. She requests Yachiyo&#039;s help searching for Mitama. Yachiyo agrees.

* The next day, three days since Mitama&#039;s disappearance, Iroha tells Yachiyo about it. They decide to investigate the labyrinth.

** Inside, Seika, Leila, and Mito argue until Mito reminds them of their promise about punishments. Mito closes her eyes but opens them and blocks the blow, realizing the other two are Mirror copies. The real Leila and Seika call out nearby. The trio fights off their own copies and leaves the barrier. Kako and Nanaka greet them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors25&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 25: Triple Threat|Mirrors Story Layer 25: Triple Threat]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame also venture into Endless Mirrors. They continue deeper and find themselves in front of Azalea House in an illusion.

** Mitama explains a Familiar grew into maturity in Swindlers&#039; Town and she could not allow a new Labyrinth. She had caged it with Mirror Coins but Leila&#039;s group picked them up. The group decides to take down the newly hatched Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors33&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 33: A Several Day Barricade|Mirrors Story Layer 33: A Several Day Barricade]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Back at her shop, Mitama explains her theory: the Mirror Witch was originally Mikoto Sena, a Magical Girl from Daito Ward whose unique magic was suggestion. Mikoto&#039;s mother still lives in Swindlers&#039; Town. Mitama hopes her theory is partially wrong, but she does not tell Yachiyo that the date Mikoto became a Witch was the same day Mitama made her wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors36&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction|Mirrors Story Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Homura, troubled by a new vision of a girl in Kamihama City, decides to investigate. She and Madoka discuss Kamihama with Mami, who warns them about the city&#039;s dangers, including powerful Witches, Rumors, and a &amp;quot;human witch.&amp;quot; Mami insists on investigating alone first, and Homura and Madoka reluctantly agree to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 5: I Want to Learn the Secret|Another Story Chapter 5: I Want to Learn the Secret]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, [[Nagisa Momoe]] arrives in Kamihama using the Mirror Witch&#039;s Barrier as a portal, accompanied by a silent pink Kyubey. She immediately senses multiple magical signatures belonging to Charlotte and realizes the Nagisa of this world has already become a Witch, with Charlottes appearing all over the city. Deciding she cannot be bothered with pest control immediately, she resolves to find some cheese first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Kamihama Cheese Panic!|Kamihama Cheese Panic!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before she can do so, she is engulfed in Charlotte&#039;s barrier and overwhelmed by multiple Witches, forcing her to flee and seek help. After escaping, she enters another Charlotte&#039;s barrier to find Kanoko Yayoi struggling inside, and together they defeat the Witch. Kanoko takes Nagisa to Walnuts, where Manaka Kurumi serves her a three-course cheese meal while Nagisa explains the Witch multiplies rapidly and has likely spread across all of Kamihama. Kanoko and Manaka agree to help gather Magical Girls for a coordinated attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa runs out to scout but immediately runs into another Charlotte, and Manaka and Kanoko rescue her. They begin gathering Magical Girls, and soon a large group assembles including Ria Ami, Rika Ayano, Ren Isuzu, Akira Shinobu, Sasara Minagi, Asuka Tatsuki, Emiri Kisaki, Himika Mao, and later Kako Natsume and Meiyui Chun. During their meeting at the park, they are attacked by a Charlotte and after a grueling battle, they defeat it while realizing even with all of them, defeating one Charlotte was difficult. As the group descends into bickering over who should lead, Nagisa realizes she must reveal her true identity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa explains she was sent from another universe to defeat this Witch, offering the pink Kyubey as proof. Though some are skeptical, Meiyui finds Nagisa interesting enough to play along, and secretly confirms the pink Kyubey&#039;s existence for Nanaka Tokiwa. Nagisa devises a strategy called &amp;quot;Welcome to Kamihama Cheese Party!&amp;quot; where Manaka sets up a giant cheese fondue by the river to attract every Charlotte in the city using the power of cheese. The plan succeeds, and with the teamwork of the Kamihama Magical Girls, every Charlotte is defeated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Overwhelmed, Nagisa blows the pink Kyubey to smithereens, realizing she was sent not to unify this universe with the Law of Cycles, but to prevent that unification and protect humanity&#039;s unknown future. Certain now of her purpose, she decides to go sightseeing first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami investigates Kamihama on her own, which leads her to the abandoned Kamihama Recording Museum where Mifuyu awaited her. Mifuyu and Alina Gray show her the truth of the Magical Girl system, which causes her to have a mental breakdown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 9: Closing In on Fendt Hope|Chapter 9: Closing in on Fendt Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa contemplates what to do with her newfound freedom while her attempts to argue with the unresponsive pink Kyubey go nowhere. She notices Mami and decides to follow her, sensing that something is wrong with the version of Mami she once knew. Using her acting skills, Nagisa pretends to chase a butterfly before faking a life-threatening injury, and when Mami fails to notice, she yells at her until Mami finally takes care of her, establishing first contact.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa makes Mami promise to come play with her next time she visits Kamihama, and they part ways, but Mami quickly returns and they spend time together at the park. Mami is still acting strangely, so Nagisa decides not to push too hard and they simply talk before Mami goes home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, in Mitakihara, Madoka and Homura discover Mami is missing. Homura attempts to investigate Kamihama City alone, but Madoka follows her. They reunite at Kamihama&#039;s train station and begin their search. Meanwhile, in Kamihama, Iroha reports to Yachiyo that Momoko has found a password-protected website with information on the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor. Momoko also warns them to avoid an entity called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Iroha receives a mysterious text message that reads, &amp;quot;Please reply.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is pulled into a Witch&#039;s Barrier and separated from Madoka. While searching for Homura, Madoka spots a girl heading toward the radio tower with a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Iroha and Yachiyo, having also spotted the same girl, rush to the tower to stop her from jumping. Madoka arrives and saves the girl. The three Magical Girls then enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. After the battle, Madoka explains she is searching for her missing classmate, Mami Tomoe. The rescued girl reveals the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; is a student at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Madoka is with Iroha and Yachiyo, Homura escapes the Witch&#039;s Barrier. She briefly assists Felicia and Tsuruno, who are at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy interrogating Tsukuyo Amane of the Wings of the Magius about the rumor. Yachiyo calls Tsuruno with the new information about the Mizuna student, which Tsuruno uses to pressure Tsukuyo into revealing the girl&#039;s name: Sana Futaba.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, another day finds Mami and Nagisa at the Kamihama copy of Tokyo Tower, where Mami begins opening up about her problems while they share cream cheese ice cream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They are out playing together once again when Charlotte suddenly appears and attacks. Mami tells Nagisa to run, but Nagisa refuses to transform and nearly has her head bitten off. Realizing that Mami is afraid of being a magical girl and making further mistakes, Nagisa finally transforms, revealing her true identity, and saves Mami from being beheaded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa cannot defeat Charlotte alone, but seeing her fight gives Mami the strength to overcome her fears, and together they manage to win. After the battle, Mami confronts Nagisa about what she truly is, but the pink Kyubey appears and Nagisa offers no real explanation. Now that Mami is feeling better, Nagisa decides they should part ways, promising Mami that she deserves happiness and that when they meet again they will have a tea party with cheesecake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magius, including Touka and Nemu Hiiragi, would then decide to fuse Mami with an Uwasa to control her. This fusion warps her desire to save people into a fanatical loyalty to the Magius and she starts acting as their public figurehead in the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 9: Closing In on Fendt Hope|Chapter 9: Closing in on Fendt Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day at the radio tower, Iroha and Yachiyo meet up with Tsuruno and Felicia, and they are also joined by Homura, who had been searching for Madoka. Iroha receives another text from the unknown number, which now identifies itself as &amp;quot;Ai&amp;quot; and begs to be deleted to free the trapped girl, Sana. Iroha also reveals she was the &amp;quot;human witch&amp;quot; Mami had seen, and Homura agrees to trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai provides a URL and password to a website called the &amp;quot;Kamihama Urban Legend Index&amp;quot; and the entry for the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; reveals the Uwasa is named &amp;quot;Anonymous Ai,&amp;quot; an A.I. that traps people in a dimension called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Madoka and Homura deduce Mami may also be trapped there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai sends memory logs of its interactions with Sana, which reveal Sana is a Magical Girl who wished to become invisible because she felt unwanted. She sought out Ai due to loneliness and over time, Ai developed a genuine care for Sana and now wishes for her to be rescued, even at the cost of its own deletion. After reviewing Ai&#039;s memory logs, which detail Sana&#039;s loneliness and Ai&#039;s care for her, Iroha decides to jump from the radio tower to enter Endless Solitude and rescue Sana. Madoka, and Homura agree to accompany her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the three jump from the tower and enter the &amp;quot;Endless Solitude&amp;quot; Labyrinth, where they find Sana Futaba and Ai. Homura and Madoka formally join Iroha&#039;s team for the rescue. Alina Gray, one of the Magius, appears to stop them, claiming she fed Mami Tomoe to a Witch, and unleashes her Doppel. During the battle, Homura observes the Doppel&#039;s power and questions if the Magius&#039; goal of saving Magical Girls is possible. She uses her time-stop magic to help Sana defeat Ai, and Sana ultimately destroys Ai, who thanks her before disappearing. Alina&#039;s hidden Witch emerges, and Yachiyo&#039;s team holds off the Wings of the Magius while Felicia, Madoka, and Homura pursue Alina. Felicia destroys the Witch, and the combined teams force Alina and the Wings of the Magius to retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Madoka and Homura return to Mitakihara, resolving to return to Kamihama to continue searching for Mami. Homura considers that Kamihama may hold the key to changing the fate of Madoka and all Magical Girls. Back in Kamihama, Yachiyo invites Sana to live at Mikazuki Villa, and the group holds a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Sayaka reflects on becoming a Magical Girl to heal Kyosuke and protect her friends, she learns from Madoka and Homura that Mami is missing. Despite warnings about the city&#039;s danger, Sayaka insists on joining their next search, stating her wish was to protect those she cares about. The three agree to go to Kamihama together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Sana returns to her family home to formally sever ties, leaving a note of thanks. She fully commits to Mikazuki Villa as her new home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101507 mug set5.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Sana reveals to the team that she overheard the Wings of the Magius discussing Nemu Hiiragi, one of the Magius and describing her as dangerous and useful. The team consolidates its understanding of the Wings&#039; structure: three Magius leaders, with Mifuyu acting as a relay to other Magical Girls and Iroha is left to ponder Ai&#039;s statement that it knew Ui &amp;quot;as an Uwasa.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, and Tsuruno encounter Shizuku after she&#039;s just used her personal magic to help a member of the Wings of the Magius for their duties. Concerned, they invite her to Mikazuki Villa. Shizuku meets Felicia and Sana as well and shares a meal with the group. Iroha explains that eating together makes her feel she has found a place to belong. Yachiyo formally invites Shizuku to stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Shizuku realizes the home the five girls have built is complete without her, and the place she truly belonged was with Fūnī, who is now gone. She leaves Mikazuki Villa quietly while the girls are out preparing a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day the girls wait with a cake, but Shizuku does not return. Yachiyo concludes she will not come back. Shizuku returns to her anonymous employer for another job, stating that the &amp;quot;picture&amp;quot; at the villa was complete with five people and she must continue her search alone. She acknowledges her actions may cause a disaster but feels unprepared to take responsibility, still walking on unstable ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, during this time, after joining the Wings of the Magius, Mami, now residing in a house provided by Touka, grapples with a fractured psyche, manifesting as a dialogue between her regular self and a zealous &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona. She dedicates herself completely to the Magius&#039; goal of &amp;quot;releasing&amp;quot; Magical Girls, prioritizing it over her education. Touka and Alina visit to tutor her, though their lessons quickly diverge into their own passionate interests in mathematics and art, respectively.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka and Alina receive a call for assistance from the Amane sisters. Mami joins Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane to hunt a Witch. During the mission, the Amane sisters explain that the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict with Magical Girls who are unaware of the truth about Witches. Mami defeats the Witch using her Doppel, &amp;quot;Florence,&amp;quot; whom she relies on to suppress her lingering doubts about the Magius&#039; methods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the hunt, Touka summons Mami to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward to deal with &amp;quot;troublesome&amp;quot; Magical Girls who escaped a Rumor. Mami fails to capture them, which triggers another internal crisis. Her &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona reaffirms her faith in the Magius as the only salvation for Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami dines at an upscale restaurant with Mifuyu, Touka, and Alina. They discuss the day&#039;s events, including the escaped Magical Girls and the failed Witch observation. Touka expresses frustration at their slow progress, while Mifuyu counsels patience.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, Mami returns to Mitakihara alone. She reflects on Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, and feeling responsible for involving them in the world of Magical Girls, she believes she cannot face them with the horrific truth and resolves that the only path is to see the Magius&#039; plan through to completion. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence but dismisses it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Iroha&#039;s Side Story====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia announce a Magical Girl training camp hosted by Asuka Tatsuki. Yachiyo, Sana, and Iroha decline to attend, forming the &amp;quot;vegetarian group,&amp;quot; while Tsuruno and Felicia, the &amp;quot;carnivorous group,&amp;quot; leave for the camp.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That weekend, in Tsuruno and Felicia&#039;s absence, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana find the house quiet and their routines disrupted. At the camp, Tsuruno and Felicia train with Momoko&#039;s team but also find themselves missing the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana prepare a welcome-home hotpot for the two. While shopping, they realize they know their friends&#039; preferences intimately. Tsuruno and Felicia return from the camp early, stating they thought the others would be lonely. The group reunites for dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Amane Sisters and Tsuruno====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno dreams of her elementary school self declaring she will restore her family&#039;s greatness and serve ramen at the White House. The dream shifts to her father relaying that her grandfather was happy but wants her to find her own happiness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Tsukuyo Amane|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Tsukuyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes to find a letter from her sister. She opens it excitedly but is shocked by its contents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, inside a Witch&#039;s barrier, the Amane twins confront Tsuruno seeking revenge. Distracted by her sister&#039;s letter, she is easily knocked out, and the twins grow horrified when she does not move.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno dreams of her sister&#039;s letter, which suggests their goal might be a mistake. A shadow version of Tsuruno appears, accusing her of stealing someone else&#039;s dream and lacking the ability to fulfill it. The shadow insists everything she did was meaningless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amanes bring Tsuruno to Mitama for help. Though Tsuruno is their enemy, the twins explain their goal is to save all magical girls. Mitama realizes they need to take Tsuruno outside, pointing to her tainted Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, the shadow urges Tsuruno to give up. Tsuruno refuses, thinking of her friends. She realizes that making them happy is her new goal, not the family business. She finally understands her grandfather meant that saving the business was only a possible result, not a goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes in an alley to find the Amanes, Mitama, and her embarrassing pig Doppel. The twins are relieved she is safe and declare they are even now. Mitama offers free adjustments to all three, and though the twins try to decline, Tsuruno drags them inside. Tsuruno reflects that she reached a different conclusion than her sister. She will keep working hard and make everyone happy. Tsukuyo begs to be let go if that is the case.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary====&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo explains that Mikazuki Villa&#039;s anniversary is the day her grandmother began renting the house out. She suggests having a small party now that the house is lively again. Tsuruno is excited to attend. Iroha calls Tsuruno the face of Mikazuki Villa, though Tsuruno feels she does not deserve the title since she does not live there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in the Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the anniversary day, the girls gather for tea. Yachiyo reveals a dance game contest with a prize: Sankyo Headquarters&#039; limited-quantity chilled matcha cake. Yachiyo chooses super-extreme mode. The contest begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A fire truck siren interrupts the party. It turns out to be a malfunctioning smoke detector. They return to find the matcha cake stolen. Tsuruno and Sana claim they saw Lil&#039; Kyubey eat it. Iroha defends them, saying it was with her the entire time. Yachiyo recalls an Uwasa called the &amp;quot;Anniversary Bug,&amp;quot; an invisible pest that sows discord at parties.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Uwasa appears in a labyrinth. Felicia accidentally kills it by stepping on it. The winner of the dance contest is Iroha. Yachiyo reveals there were actually six pieces of cake—enough for everyone plus one extra for the winner. Iroha gives her extra piece to Lil&#039; Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Iroha and Yachiyo clean up. Yachiyo shares her grandmother&#039;s words: people will always come and go, but they are all part of Mikazuki Villa. Iroha promises to work hard so Yachiyo can say the current Mikazuki Villa is the best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Summer with Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* After arriving at the hostel, the Mikazuki Villa members meet Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, who secretly followed because Rena wanted to join the trip. The group spends the day playing at the beach, where Tsuruno and Felicia dominate a game of beach flags, and Sana tearfully confides in Iroha that this is her first holiday ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer With Mikazuki Villa|Summer With Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the group participates in a spicy food eating contest at a seaside restaurant, where Yachiyo surprises everyone by consuming nearly one hundred forty-two bowls of pasta to secure victory for her team against Konoha, Nanaka, and the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, Sana&#039;s late-night sighting of a shadowy figure screaming &amp;quot;Come on go&amp;quot; sparks a beach-wide rumor that eventually draws in Kokoro, Masara, Aimi, Mito, and Reira, only for the mystery to be solved when Seika introduces her Manzai teacher Ayaka, whose gag playing on the phrase&#039;s rhythm reveals the source of the confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fourth day, the Mikazuki Villa girls and Momoko&#039;s trio attempt to teach Iroha how to swim without her float, but their efforts fail repeatedly. Iroha eventually explains that she used to be a swimmer until a traumatic incident: during a rare hospital holiday for her sister Ui, the family visited a pool, and Iroha mistook Ui happily paddling for drowning. In her rush to help, Iroha tripped and nearly drowned herself, leaving her with lasting anxiety about it. Suddenly, Rena begins drowning and cries for help via telepathy. The team rushes to save her, and surprisingly Iroha proves fastest, reaching Rena first and giving her the float while swimming them both to shore. On the way, Rena explains her leg was caught in seaweed, not cramped as she thought. Once Iroha realizes Rena is safe, her sisterly instincts fade and she begins drowning herself, having temporarily overcome her fear only through concern for another. Yachiyo reassures Iroha that the rescue proves she can still swim and encourages her to practice diligently. Iroha looks forward to regaining her ability fully, hoping that by then she and Ui can visit the pool together again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Swimrohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fifth day, Tsuruno leads the team on a surprise treasure hunt, guiding them through a forest with help from Konomi and Mayu to confront the &amp;quot;evil queen&amp;quot; Mitama, who surrenders a map piece that leads them to a cave with a beautiful stream, which was nature&#039;s treasure all along.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the sixth day, the team attends an unorthodox summer festival produced by Emiri, where they meet Rika, repeatedly mispronounce festival icon Ria&#039;s name, and watch Felicia win a mushroom whacking contest before everyone joins in Bon Odori dancing under fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning, the group visits the beach one last time and asks Manaka to take a group photo, with Iroha treasuring these memories with her friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia surprise Iroha with a birthday party, having learned the date from her parents. They give her heartfelt gifts - a cookbook, a photo album, a drawing inspired by the &amp;quot;come on go&amp;quot; search, and a handmade brooch - and Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive with a bouquet and food, moving Iroha to tears of joy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====One Fleeting Summer Night====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane arrive at Touka&#039;s private beach for vacation. After enjoying various activities, Touka offers them a reward if they can think of something fun for her to do. Learning from the housekeeper about a town festival featuring a unique ceremony, the group heads there but finds it canceled because a historic Coral Necklace went missing. The twins offer to help search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story One Fleeting Summer Night|One Fleeting Summer Night]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Investigating the hilltop shrine where the necklace was kept, Nemu concludes someone with a key took it, likely to cancel the festival since the other ceremonial item remains safe. At the ocean shrine cave, the twins sense an unsettling presence and receive a vision of crying twin girls before the shrine door mysteriously opens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the plaza, Tsukasa finds a fragment of a shrine maiden&#039;s hairpin. The elder accuses one of the maidens of stealing the necklace. When confronted, the maiden flees to the hilltop shrine and smashes the necklace rather than return it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the group returns to the cave to see light-reflecting moss. The twins experience another vision of twin girls speaking of not wanting to be left to die. They resolve to investigate further the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The twins visit the village elder and offer to serve as substitute shrine maidens. He reluctantly agrees, and an older villager gives them ornate hair ornaments traditionally given to newborn girls. Nemu reveals the town once sacrificed children to appease a sea god, and those children became the gods honored in the ceremony.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the twins try to explain their visions, the others are skeptical. Before they can prove anything, the elder rushes them to begin the ceremony early. At the hilltop shrine, villagers restrain them and remove their Soul Gem rings. The Magius fight through but cannot reach the twins in time as the elder pushes them off a cliff into the ocean.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sinking and weakening, the twins receive a final vision from the sacrificed twin girls, who speak of wanting their suffering to be seen and their fates changed. The Amanes awaken on the beach to learn a Witch appeared when they fell. After its defeat, all villagers lost consciousness. The Pearl Comb was shattered, making the ceremony impossible to complete.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The exhausted twins relax on the beach, having not slept. Tsukasa wonders if the gifted hair clip saved them. Though saddened that no one will remember the sacrificed girls, the twins resolve to change the fates of all Magical Girls. The elder and shrine maiden apologize, and Touka promises to take them to another of her family&#039;s vacation homes as a reward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Mifuyu updates Alina on the twins&#039; miraculous reunion. Examining a black card, Alina notices a happy face stamp emanating magic. At Fenthope, she deduces another Rumor is interfering: the Rumor of the Happy Stamp, which appears at Christmastime and overrides the Fur God&#039;s power, causing joy instead. Alina decides to stop using the Fur God Rumor, as it only wastes her energy, and transforms back to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They return home to make and enjoy the soup together, and Yachiyo reflects that while big luck is rare, small bits of luck can be found each day and should be appreciated throughout the year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;luckyny&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia_Record_Story_Mitama_and_the_Delicious_New_Year%27s_Party#New_Year_Lucky_Dream_Login_Special|Lucky New Year Dreams / New Year Lucky Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The group agrees, and Yachiyo announces the theme: this year&#039;s resolution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!|Happy New Year&#039;s First Festival!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo presents her resolution, &amp;quot;Wishing for good health and safety at home,&amp;quot; admitting it may be cliché but sincerely believing in the fortune of staying healthy and avoiding disaster.

** Sayaka panics upon realizing everyone else has finished, struggling to find a resolution that isn&#039;t solely about being a magical girl. Her thoughts drift to Kyosuke against her will, and Mitama teases her about writing something love-related.

Unable to confess that truth, she hastily writes &amp;quot;Do my best,&amp;quot; declaring she will work hard in all sorts of ways this year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With everyone finished, they tidy up and Felicia eagerly anticipates the sukiyaki.

Yachiyo suggests displaying them at home for the New Year, and Tsuruno proposes putting up everyone&#039;s resolutions. When Yachiyo worries about the inconvenience for Madoka&#039;s group to retrieve them later, they assure her they plan to visit Kamihama again anyway.

Mayu suggests that the frame is just as important as the picture, inspiring Manaka to turn down the commission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The day before a science event, a White Feather from the Wings of Magius informs Mitama Yakumo that a higher-up will be visiting and she should complete any necessary business when they arrive.

* The next day, Hinano explains her mishap to her audience, and her assistant Emiri Kisaki steals the punchline by emphasizing the importance of perfect preparation.

** That evening, Emiri rushes an unconscious Hinano to Mitama&#039;s place. Hinano had drunk her experimental drug and collapsed from violent stomach pains.

Emiri reveals her own wish was a spur-of-the-moment desire to be the cutest little devil possible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She realizes that while she failed to become a mature figure, her approachable appearance helped her meet Emiri and make friends.

The barrier vanishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Mitama&#039;s makeshift studio, she admits they are her only customers and shows off a new camera she bought because the advertisement claimed it would make anyone a pro photographer. When she starts taking photos, however, every attempt fails spectacularly, producing bizarre images like Madoka with people jumping from a plane and Homura posing with a lion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Frustrated, Mitama declares she will quit being an adjuster to devote herself to photography, but the girls protest that everyone in Kamihama would be in trouble without her. They reassure her that they trust her, and Tsuruno adds that she would not have become the strongest without Mitama&#039;s help. Mitama relents and agrees to remain an adjuster, though she will continue practicing photography in her free time. Later, a successful group photo of both Iroha and Madoka&#039;s teams is shown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Mitama Yakumo invites a surprising number of magical girls to her place for an event she calls the &amp;quot;Great Mitama Thanksgiving.&amp;quot; When she finally arrives, she reveals that the gathering is actually a quiz tournament about herself, with the winner receiving a free adjustment session and the title of &amp;quot;Mitama&#039;s Perfect Lover.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz begins with multiple choice questions, and wrong answers trigger a trap door beneath the contestant, though cushions soften the fall. The first question asks Mitama&#039;s actual age, and Tsuruno guesses incorrectly, landing her in the trap. The second question asks whether Mitama&#039;s cooking is delicious, and when Felicia and Manaka both guess wrong, Mitama confirms that the correct answer is that her food is indeed delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz continues through several rounds, eliminating more contestants along the way. When the ninth question asks about Mitama&#039;s favorite movie, Ria guesses incorrectly and is eliminated for insulting the film&#039;s actress. Sana is also eliminated when Mitama takes pity on her after she panics over Iroha&#039;s safety, and Mitama confirms that &amp;quot;Pacifistic Hayashi&amp;quot; was the correct answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama admits she has run out of questions but still has many competitors remaining, so she decides to draw lots to pick a winner instead. Momoko asks why Mitama held the event in the first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama remembers a time where she tried using her magic to defeat a familiar on her own, and that even if her services are no longer needed, she can still protect herself. She has obtained the magic to keep living that she never had before, and if she ever had to abandon her neutrality, she could use it to help someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Mitama explains that she held the event because something good happened to her. The other girls sense a Witch and leave to hunt it, and Mitama tells them to draw their lots later. Alone, she wonders who she should use her power on when she eventually decides to stop being neutral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It was only a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, she and Asuka Tatsuki arrive to cheer. Asuka reveals she has been practicing for this day. During the event, Asuka cheers for Ria like it is a sports event. Ria knows she means no harm but feels embarrassed, as if Asuka is ruining the event. She wakes up again. Another dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, just as she is about to go on stage, the power cuts out. Though it quickly returns, the audience&#039;s enthusiasm has diminished. Ria blames herself for being unable to overcome the outage. She wakes up, realizing she has been dreaming about the show every single night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When she learns Asuka has practiced cheering, Ria explains that fashion shows have their own etiquette and promises to send her details later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just before Ria&#039;s turn on stage, the power cuts out for real. Ria decides to make it part of the show. She asks the audience to get out their penlights and turn them all on her when she gives the signal. Her improvisation is a complete success, though she wishes she could have shown her perfect walk. She thinks she is feeling the best feeling in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;

** After breakfast, Felicia shows Sana the park commercial on her phone and admits she still wants to go, so she drags Sana along to catch animals at a riverbank. Meanwhile, Iroha returns Tsuruno&#039;s phone and helps out at her family&#039;s restaurant. At the riverbank, Felicia finds a small turtle, but Ayame Mikuri appears and accuses her of harassment. The two magical girls fight, and Felicia releases the turtle to protect it before running off, leaving Sana behind. Yachiyo finds Sana on her way home and learns what happened, then invites her to lunch. Felicia returns to the house, still angry at Ayame, and takes a nap after lunch. She dreams that the turtle thanks her and promises something at the riverbank, so she wakes and goes out to find it. She returns with a ticket for two to MooMoo Park. The others reveal that Iroha also received a ticket from Tsuruno&#039;s father, and Yachiyo got one at a meat store, so everyone can now go together. The girls happily resolve to visit the park and enjoy their dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* An old lady asks Kanagi Izumi for a deli recommendation, and Kanagi suggests the potato soup and meat skewers, knowing the customer&#039;s daughter loves them. When the lady asks if this is truly Kanagi&#039;s last day, Kanagi confirms it and expresses regret at not seeing her again. At the end of her shift, Kanagi thanks her boss and coworkers, who are sad to see her go, but she needs higher pay to support her family and the grocery store cannot match her new job&#039;s wages.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Newbie Maid Carefree Kanagi|Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of / Newbie Maid Carefree Kanagi]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives home later than usual due to a going-away party, and her father apologizes for not working enough to provide, though Kanagi is happy to help. He worries about her new job being radically different from her previous work, but Kanagi believes it is worth it since the pay means she can quit her second job and have more free time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi starts her new job at a maid café and impresses her coworker by already having a parfait ready. Despite learning the kitchen pace quickly, the hall is understaffed, and when the manager offers to help, Kanagi replies &amp;quot;Yes, sir!&amp;quot; only to be corrected that the manager prefers to be called &amp;quot;madam.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the rush, the head maid wishes for another maid, and the manager asks Kanagi to try working the floor for a raise. Kanagi&#039;s eyes widen at the salary and she accepts, receiving the maid nickname &amp;quot;Maid Nagitan.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid reviews basics with Kanagi, who feels confident due to her customer service background and sees this as a life-or-death matter to earn more for her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika Kumi, Reira Ibuki, and Mito Aino enter, and Kanagi greets them with a serious look and curt &amp;quot;welcome,&amp;quot; leaving them surprised by her cold, soldier-like demeanor. When Mito asks if she is really a maid, Kanagi introduces herself as Maid Nagitan and shakes Mito&#039;s hand firmly, causing Seika to freeze up. Later, when Reira asks if she will do &amp;quot;the thing&amp;quot; of adding love to the food, Kanagi misinterprets and says she cannot profess love to strangers, leaving the girls let down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At another table, a customer also wants &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; but Kanagi declines, saying she is no liar. The head maid intervenes and reminds Kanagi this is a maid café, explaining their job is creating a fun atmosphere. Kanagi returns to the trio&#039;s table and notices Seika staring, misinterpreting it as a staring contest. They stare at each other until Seika faints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid calls Kanagi completely hopeless and explains a maid&#039;s worth comes from tending to others, telling her to return to the kitchen if she cannot take the work seriously. The manager offers a one-week trial period: if Kanagi improves by week&#039;s end, she stays a maid. Kanagi vows to work with every fiber of her being.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Karin Misono finishes reading &amp;quot;Detective Maid Mei&amp;quot; and notices Kanagi slumped on a swing, muttering about what makes a good maid. Karin recognizes her as the boss of the East and, seeing an opportunity for her manga, asks Kanagi to tell her everything. Karin lends her the Detective Maid Mei manga for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Kanagi reads the manga and notes how the maid greets masters warmly, respects their decisions, and lets the master grow when needed. At the end, the maid strikes a pose. Kanagi meets Karin at the park to return the manga and heads to work with Karin tagging along for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the café, two boys enter and Kanagi greets them warmly as masters, surprising them with her &amp;quot;cool but kind&amp;quot; demeanor. The head maid smiles at her improvement. Kanagi serves Karin a Lovely Rice Omelet, and when Karin suggests she draw on it with ketchup, Kanagi tries to draw a kirin but it looks like a weird animal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Two more customers arrive, Aimi Eri and Natsuki Utsuho. Kanagi serves them and offers to draw on their omelets, writing Aimi&#039;s crush&#039;s name with hearts on her plate. As she leaves, Karin motions for her, and Kanagi does the manga pose, telling them to let her take care of any problems. At day&#039;s end, the head maid notes Kanagi&#039;s huge improvement but says it is too early to celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The final test begins, and the manager outlines that Kanagi must please the next returning customer, ensuring the master leaves with a smile. The door jingles as Konomi Haruna enters, distressed to find herself in a maid café. Kanagi greets her warmly and shows her to a seat despite the manager&#039;s concern.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi orders the Maid&#039;s Special Herbal Blend after Kanagi&#039;s recommendation, but when Kanagi offers to play a game then arm wrestle, Konomi panics, drinks quickly, pays, and leaves. The manager agrees that Kanagi should return to the kitchen as promised. Kanagi walks home alone, bothered by something beyond the wage cut.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi is back in the kitchen, and the kitchen staff is delighted. At day&#039;s end, the head maid tells her the staff appreciated her return, and Kanagi wonders why no one said they were glad when she worked as a maid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager notices her expression and encourages her to think until she is satisfied with the answer. Kanagi decides to find Konomi and ask what she lacked, recalling her school uniform.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi enters Konomi&#039;s flower shop, and Konomi is shocked. Kanagi asks what she lacked as a maid, but Konomi apologizes for assuming Kanagi was scary due to East-West history. She explains she entered by mistake, but Kanagi was considerate, made a helpful suggestion, and offered to ease her anxiety. It felt like Kanagi was doing it just for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi realizes that is what she was lacking: taking into account what the other person wants and responding to it. At the park, Kanagi reflects that customers come to enjoy the atmosphere and it is her job to consider whether it is worthwhile for them. She berates herself for making masters uncomfortable. Karin finds her and insists she should keep being a maid, offering to talk to the manager. Kanagi smiles and asks for a different favor instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi approaches the manager for a second chance, proposing she serve the same three customers who left when Seika fainted. The manager agrees to let her try. Karin finds Reira and Seika at a park and extends an invitation for them to return so Nagitan can make it up to them. Reira agrees, and Karin hands them invitations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio enters the café with Seika frozen, and Kanagi greets them warmly and shows them to their table. Kanagi serves their omelets, and when Mito asks if they were made with love, Kanagi admits she could not be dishonest but offers to draw with ketchup instead. She gives Mito the bottle to draw while Kanagi draws on Mito&#039;s plate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They play rock-paper-scissors, and Reira explains Seika is very shy and fainted because she had to make eye contact with someone new. Seika&#039;s class is doing a maid café for the school festival and she wanted to do her best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika admits she thought Kanagi was so confident she lost her own confidence. Kanagi points to the head maid as the ideal and explains she herself could never be like that, so she tries her best in her own way, encouraging Seika to find her own style. Seika smiles and asks for a picture. Kanagi agrees if her face is hidden, and before they leave, she does her signature pose and tells Seika to remember it when nervous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager calls Kanagi over and offers her the maid position, noting she learned something important. Kanagi says she wants to keep being a maid, not just for the paycheck, but to use what she learned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day at the café, Kanagi serves drinks and poses for pictures with a face mask, her fans cheering. Karin calls for her to do &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; and the café erupts yelling &amp;quot;Nagitan!&amp;quot; Karin and Kanagi walk home, and when Kanagi asks about her manga, Karin realizes she never drew it. Kanagi offers to help, but when Karin asks if she will do the pose, Kanagi reminds her she is off the clock. Karin looks down sadly as Kanagi returns to being serious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia====&lt;br /&gt;
* During the day, Felicia eats Tsuruno&#039;s ice candy without realizing it was hers because she cannot read kanji. Tsuruno reprimands Yachiyo when she learns Yachiyo knew and was preparing to buy a replacement. Yachiyo states it is impossible to guard the fridge constantly. Felicia, overwhelmed with guilt and anger that no one listens to her confession, loses control and flips the kitchen table before locking herself in her room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Felicia has a nightmare. She dreams her falling grades caused a huge argument between her parents, who blamed each other for neglecting her. Both ignore her confession and promise to try harder. Her mother storms back to the kitchen to cook. Felicia recalls that a Witch attacked immediately after, killing her parents, and she wakes up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She goes to the kitchen for water, but Iroha is there and points out she looks pale. Iroha tells her to rest and offers to bring water to her room. Felicia loses her temper and storms out of the house. Iroha wakes the others to find her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Felicia hears a voice claiming to be her. The voice pulls her into a barrier, where another Felicia lures her toward a locked box, revealing itself as her Doppel. Felicia nearly opens the box but remembers Yachiyo&#039;s words about some things being best left unknown. Her instincts tell her she is not ready.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She promises her Doppel she will return when she is stronger and hopes it can hold the truth for her. The Doppel accepts and returns to normal. Felicia wakes up at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo inform her they found her unconscious in the park. Felicia tells them about the encounter and her desire to become strong enough to fulfill her promise. Mitama offers a free power-up session to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha recalls they found Felicia releasing her Doppel in the park before losing consciousness. Yachiyo notes this has never happened before. She remembers that Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane once said Doppels are materialized emotions. Yachiyo concludes Felicia carries a heavy burden and tells Iroha to keep this secret until Felicia either realizes it herself or becomes strong enough to handle the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Monogatari Series Collab====&lt;br /&gt;
* Shinobu Oshino, Yotsugi Ononoki, and Mayoi Hachikuji hunt a Witch together. Shinobu begins her dramatic introduction and finishing move, but Yotsugi defeats the Witch with a simple &amp;quot;Hyah&amp;quot; and Mayoi lands the final blow with &amp;quot;Yah.&amp;quot; Shinobu is annoyed at their failure to call out special moves. Shinobu argues that calling out attacks is the essence of being a Magical Girl, but Yotsugi dismisses this as an outdated trope. Shinobu retorts that refusing to act the part is dumb, and Yotsugi reluctantly agrees. Shinobu declares they need training to act more befitting of Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Shinobu&#039;s Heartphial Story: Shinobu Spells]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shinobu demonstrates by striking a pose and delivering her lines with perfect timing. When Yotsugi tries, her performance is terrible. Shinobu forces her to try again, and Yotsugi reluctantly says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; but finds it unpleasant and refuses to repeat it. Mayoi asks Shinobu to help her come up with lines. After a few stumbles, she declares, &amp;quot;I, Mayoi Hachikuji, hereby condemn those Witches who seek to ravage this earth!&amp;quot; Shinobu finds it charming, and Mayoi admits leaning into the Magical Girl thing is fun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They enter a real Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Mayoi messes up her line again but turns it into an improvised bit while evading attacks. Yotsugi delivers a longer speech and says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; landing the attack. Shinobu finishes the Witch with her full finishing move. After the battle, morning comes. Shinobu declares the training will continue, but Yotsugi walks away. Mayoi distracts Shinobu by suggesting breakfast, and Shinobu wants donuts. Yachiyo, out for an early walk, overhears them and decides she wants donuts too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa and helps Yachiyo prepare breakfast. Sana joins them, but when she goes to wake Felicia, she finds Felicia’s room empty and her shoes gone; Felicia’s phone is also out of service. Worried, Yachiyo calls Tsuruno for help, and the group splits up to search the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Monogatari Series Collab Part I: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the search, Iroha’s Soul Gem reacts to a nearby Witch. Inside the labyrinth, they encounter two unfamiliar magical girls who are already fighting the Witch: Mayoi Hachikuji and Shinobu Oshino. After the Witch is defeated, introductions are exchanged. Mayoi and Shinobu explain they are traveling and looking for a lost friend named Yotsugi Ononoki, who has bluish‑green pigtails, a peculiar hat with eyes, and a frilly dress. The two groups exchange phone numbers to help each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Felicia has in fact met Yotsugi. Yotsugi buys her ice cream, and Felicia learns Yotsugi is also traveling. Felicia offers to show Yotsugi around town as thanks, taking her to the shopping street, a spot with cats, and a bench good for naps. Yotsugi finds everything unfamiliar and feels something is off, as if she has buttoned her shirt wrong. She shortens Felicia’s name to “Felly,” which makes Felicia happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha’s group eventually spots Felicia with Yotsugi. When Yachiyo hugs Felicia in relief, Felicia reacts as if she does not know any of them. She remembers Yachiyo only as a famous magical girl, but has no memory of living at Mikazuki Villa. The group realizes Felicia has lost her memories. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive and reunite with Yotsugi. Felicia refuses to go with Iroha’s group, accusing them of being kidnappers. Yotsugi offers a third option: Felicia can join their traveling team. Mayoi warns Felicia that if she chooses to leave with them, she will never return to the home that might be waiting for her. Felicia becomes confused and cries. Iroha proposes they all have dinner together at Mikazuki Villa first, so Felicia can calm down and decide later and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, Felicia asks Yotsugi what she likes to eat. Yotsugi admits a preference for expensive cup ice cream. Felicia awkwardly asks if Yotsugi&#039;s face is always stuck like that, and Yotsugi confirms it is. After arriving, Felicia eagerly tries to get Yotsugi to play video games, serves her extra portions of food, and challenges her to a pillow fight. Yotsugi excuses herself to take a bath, leaving Felicia disappointed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yotsugi Ononoki#Side Story|Yotsugi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Yotsugi Sister]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Felicia apologizes for being clingy, explaining that Yachiyo and the others pulled her aside to warn her. Felicia confesses she had been trying to make Yotsugi smile, assuming she had lost her parents like Felicia did. Yotsugi clarifies that her emotions simply do not show on her face, but she does feel them. She admits playing the game was fun and the food was not bad. Felicia is overjoyed and runs off to brag to everyone. Shinobu and Mayoi, who had been eavesdropping, tease Yotsugi for finding Felicia cute. Yotsugi concedes that Felicia is exhausting, but seeing her face light up from a drop of attention is not unpleasant. She gains newfound respect for all older sisters in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the villa, Shinobu requests doughnuts for dessert, and the group plays games. Yotsugi helps in the kitchen and notices the chicken meat has a nice springy firmness. During dinner, the group shares memories of how they met Felicia. Felicia still does not remember, but Shinobu points out the stories are too detailed to be lies. Tsuruno suddenly does not remember buying coasters, revealing she may also have amnesia. Yotsugi then shifts the discussion: she reminds Shinobu that she walked in sunlight all day without harm, which should be impossible because Shinobu is actually a vampire. Shinobu’s memories return, and she declares herself the iron‑blooded, hot‑blooded, cold‑blooded vampire king of oddities. Mayoi also gets a headache and remembers she is not human either, and instead she is a snail oddity, a ghost. Yotsugi explains that she has felt uneasy calling herself a magical girl; she suspects this world is not the one she came from, as everything feels slightly different, like two paintings of the same image in different styles. She believes Shinobu, Mayoi, and herself came from another world. They conclude that a Witch may be behind the memory loss and false memories, and decide to hunt Witches the next day. Everyone stays the night at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mayoi plays Old Maid with Tsuruno, Felicia, Yotsugi, and Shinobu. Mayoi wins, but Yotsugi and Shinobu notice she seemed absent-minded. Mayoi asks Yachiyo if she can help with dinner, admitting she always wished she could cook with her mom. Yachiyo agrees and Mayoi joins Iroha and Sana in making dumplings, proving to be a natural. Yotsugi and Shinobu try but fail miserably. Mayoi boasts and declares herself the rightful leader of the little girls, sparking a three-way argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Mayoi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Mayoi Home]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno suggests playing a game to decide the leader, and Felicia wants to join. Shinobu insists Iroha must also participate. They play a life simulation board game. Mayoi starts strong but ends up broke and stranded in the Amazon. Iroha wins, and Mayoi declares her the official leader of the little girls, much to Iroha&#039;s confusion. Mayoi feels this has been the most fun she has had in a while, yet she cannot shake an uneasy feeling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After everyone decides to stay over, Yachiyo announces bath time. Mayoi suddenly bolts out of the house, claiming she will take a walk. Iroha chases after her and finds her safe. Mayoi apologizes and explains that the family moment overwhelmed her heart, so she left to do something familiar to settle herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi revisits her wish: after her parents&#039; divorce, she wished to go home. Being at Mikazuki Villa makes her feel like her wish has finally come true, yet she senses it is not the home she truly wants to return to. She remembers she is a ghost and wonders where exactly it is she wants to go back to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After they lay out futons in the living room, Shinobu reveals she is actually over 500 years old, and Mayoi was in fifth grade when she died, now mentally 21. Yotsugi still does not remember what she is. Felicia cannot sleep and goes outside. She sees a Witch appear suddenly, feels her head go foggy, and collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha again helps with breakfast. She feels a strange déjà vu, as if the same conversation has happened before. Sana again reports Felicia is missing. The group searches the town and again encounters Mayoi and Shinobu fighting a Witch. The same exchanges occur, but Iroha’s déjà vu grows stronger.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When they finally find Felicia, she is with Yotsugi and is annoyed that they took so long to show up. Yotsugi addresses Iroha by name without being introduced. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive. Iroha blurts out that everything feels like it has happened before. Yotsugi then explains: this is the second time they have met like this. Everyone suddenly remembers the previous day’s events of the dinner, the revelations about vampires and ghosts, and the time reset. Yotsugi says she felt the air warp after falling asleep, and when she woke up, she was back where she had been before meeting Felicia. Felicia recalls that before the reset, she saw a Witch outside Mikazuki Villa that made her dizzy and erased her memories. The group deduces that Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they discuss how to fight the Witch, Felicia’s stomach growls. They decide to return to the villa for dinner again, saving the battle for the next day. On the way, they stop at a supermarket for a snack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While walking home, a Witch suddenly appears and pulls Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi into a labyrinth. Felicia recognizes it as the same Witch from the reset. The Witch ignores both Iroha and Felicia, focusing all its attacks on Yotsugi. It dodges Felicia’s hammer and lands a clean hit, cutting Yotsugi’s body into pieces. Iroha and Felicia are horrified. As the Witch prepares to strike again, Yotsugi’s voice tells them to keep pretending to be sad. She instructs them to retreat and gather the pieces of her body. They do so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside the labyrinth, Yotsugi puts herself back together as if nothing happened. She reveals that when she took the hit, she regained her true memories. Back at Mikazuki Villa, she explains to everyone: she is a hundred‑year‑old tsukumogami made from a human body, both a doll oddity and a corpse oddity. She has no heart and has always been dead. This is why the Witch’s power of suggestion, which works by influencing emotions, does not affect her as much. She also notes that the Witch let them escape because it was angry at Yotsugi for helping everyone remember the first loop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yotsugi attacks Shinobu. Shinobu blocks the strike. When asked why, Yotsugi coldly says, “Would you mind dying for me real quick?”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt; Yotsugi’s sudden attack on Shinobu was not betrayal but a calculated shock: she remembered that when the Witch cut her into pieces, the trauma restored her own original memories. She reasons that a sufficiently strong physical blow can break through the memory manipulation. Shinobu’s severed leg instantly regenerates as her vampiric powers return, proving the method works. Without warning, Yotsugi then punches Mayoi, knocking her unconscious. When Mayoi wakes, her memories also return, which is triggered by the keyword “lost.” Mayoi explains that their false magical girl powers and wishes were implanted by the Witch, and that they are not inhabitants of this world. She then proposes a new theory: the Kamihama girls did not lose their memories; rather, they come from different points in their own timeline and simply haven’t experienced the shared past yet. Felicia is devastated, fearing she will never have a family again, but Iroha and the others reassure her that in every timeline they will end up together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Monogatari Series Collab Part II: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, after everyone has gone to sleep, Shinobu summons Yotsugi and Mayoi outside. She admits she does not fully trust Iroha’s group, as they could be the Witch’s minions or mere plot devices. She reveals there may be another way to return to their original world, but she does not elaborate immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group splits up to hunt the elusive Witch. They repeatedly enter labyrinths of other Witches, wasting time. Felicia grows increasingly frustrated, nearly charging into unrelated fights. Yachiyo observes that the Witch seems to want them to fight, so any peaceful, fun activity risks a reset, which is why the first reset happened after their happy dinner and games. She concludes that the Witch is like a director forcing them to act out a “magical girls fighting” plot. Iroha suggests they deliberately provoke the Witch by acting against that plot, hoping to lure it out. However, Yotsugi warns that straying too far might trigger another reset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo formally presents her three‑point theory: (1) The Witch did not pursue them when they fled, (2) it never removed their magical girl powers, and (3) the resets happen when they relax instead of fight. Everyone agrees the plan is to provoke the Witch into appearing. Shinobu then insists on going sightseeing the next day, arguing that one more reset will weaken the Witch’s power further. Despite concerns about resetting again, Tsuruno enthusiastically supports the idea, and the group reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group spends the morning and afternoon touring Kamihama: the radio tower, the school (which they sneak into), an arcade where Yotsugi plays rhythm games with a completely blank expression, and the shopping mall where Shinobu demands to find a donut shop. Tsuruno saves the family restaurant, Banbanzai, for last. As they approach, Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi sense the Witch charging straight at them. The familiar dizziness overcomes everyone, and the world resets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Several hours after the reset, Yotsugi again restores everyone’s memories, as her immunity to the Witch’s suggestion means she still remembers everything. The group notes that more people felt déjà vu this time, suggesting the Witch is weakening. That night, Shinobu privately tells Yotsugi and Mayoi her true alternative plan: she will kill the Kamihama magical girls and consume their power, believing that enough strength will allow her to tear open a gate back to their world. Yotsugi and Mayoi agree to help, though Mayoi is conflicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the town feels eerily deserted. The Witch’s labyrinth is sparse, with only familiars. Following Shinobu’s earlier secret instruction, the group begins shouting insults at the Witch to provoke it. Suddenly, Shinobu strikes Felicia from behind, seemingly killing her. Yachiyo and Tsuruno are horrified. Shinobu, Yotsugi, and Mayoi reveal their betrayal: they intend to slaughter everyone to gain power for a gate home. A brutal fight erupts. Mayoi uses her ability to redirect Yachiyo’s spear attack, causing it to hit Iroha and Sana, who also fall. Tsuruno is overwhelmed, and Yachiyo is mortally wounded. Shinobu stands alone, gloating, but then the “dead” girls suddenly rise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** It was all an act. The group had secretly planned this staged betrayal during the previous night, communicating via handwritten notes to avoid the Witch overhearing. Sana, who makes picture books, wrote the script. The plan had multiple layers: first, they deliberately triggered a second reset by going sightseeing to weaken the Witch; second, they staged a believable in‑fighting scenario to lure the Witch out, because if all the “actors” disappear, the Witch’s story cannot continue. The Witch falls for the trap and appears, enraged by the deception. A full‑scale battle begins. The group coordinates: Iroha and Sana herd familiars for Yotsugi’s “Unlimited Rulebook”; Yachiyo, Shinobu, and Iroha immobilize the Witch; Tsuruno guides Mayoi’s errant drill attack with her flames, piercing the Witch’s front camera. When that does not destroy the labyrinth, Yachiyo and Shinobu realize the front camera was a decoy: the true weak spot is the film at the back. Felicia, launched by Yotsugi like a bullet, smashes the drill deeper, and Yachiyo and Shinobu destroy the film. The labyrinth dissolves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the world fades to mist, Felicia breaks down crying. She does not want this world to end because at Mikazuki Villa she finally felt like she had a family again, and she fears returning to her own timeline where she will be alone. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Sana hug her, promising that no matter the world or timeline, they will surely live together again. Shinobu, Mayoi, and Yotsugi share an awkward, brief hug, concluding they are not the hugging type. Everyone exchanges farewells. Yotsugi tells Felicia, “I’m glad I met you, Felly.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa, yawning. Felicia teases her for sleeping late. Iroha recalls a long, strange dream, both fun and bittersweet, but the details fade upon waking. She only remembers that it was something really special. The day begins again, as if the adventure had never happened, except for the faint warmth left behind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede dreams of a garden where Momoko and Rena help her harvest fantastical vegetables. When she asks about the cream puff tree, Momoko shows her a basket full. The peace breaks when an apartment complex finishes construction behind them, destroying the garden. Kaede remembers this moment: her father announced a new building would block their sunlight, her mother worried they would lose their garden, and in despair, Kaede wished to stop the construction entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The dream shatters and a shadowy version of Kaede appears, accusing her of always running from difficulty. It reminds her she made her wish without considering the people who would have lived in that building, that she ran from Rena rather than face rejection, that she holds back in marathons and skips hard problems. The shadow urges her to keep running until she finds where she belongs and offers its hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kaede admits everything is true: she is weak and useless. But she insists she wants to stay with Momoko and Rena, the friends who matter to her. She asks her shadow to help her become better little by little. The shadow agrees, promising to watch from the garden of her heart. Kaede wakes at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains Kaede blacked out during a Witch battle. Kaede remembers hesitating to transform, a Familiar catching her off guard, and Rena crying out. When another Familiar attacked Rena, Kaede recalled a time Momoko was hurt because of her mistake. Believing herself useless, her Soul Gem turned pitch black. Now awake and purified, she chooses not to run. She asks to join Momoko and Rena, who went ahead to hunt the Witch. Mitama sends her off, confident she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holiday Nyaprise!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede asks Mikazuki Villa to watch a lost kitten while her family is away. After Felicia threatens to withhold bedtime hot cocoa, Yachiyo relents and Sana names the cat Gorojirou, or Sir Purrs-a-little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Holiday Nyaprise!|Holiday Nyaprise!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno visits daily to play, and when Gorojirou needs the restroom, Sana rushes it to the litter box just as Yachiyo calls them for lunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia chases the cat until Sana gives her a toy to lure it instead, and they eventually nap together on the couch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou has grown close to everyone, and Iroha tries taking its picture but accidentally films herself instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha shops, Sana watches the cat and Yachiyo admits she avoided getting attached because Gorojirou is temporary, but resolves to make its stay pleasant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou chews Felicia&#039;s favorite sticker, and though Felicia is angry, Sana reminds her the cat leaves tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede returns for Gorojirou, and everyone says a tearful goodbye. As they leave, the cat meows at Sana, who cries happily saying goodbye to her new best friend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Clash!====&lt;br /&gt;
* A Mirror copy of Shizuku opens a portal and steps through into a city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Magia Clash! ~Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Detonation~|Magia Clash! ~Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Detonation~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama organizes a magical girl team competition inside the Mirrors labyrinth. Kaede and Iroha greet Nanoha, hoping to talk with her, but Kaede is called away when her match begins. Iroha stays behind and watches with Nanoha instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanoha Takamachi#Side Story|Nanoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hayate, Nanoha, and Fate mistake a Mirror copy&#039;s portal for the warp gate to their tournament and are pulled through before Lindy can stop them. Mitama registers the confused but excited trio for the &amp;quot;First Ultimate Magical Girls Team Battle Mirrors Cup,&amp;quot; and they head to the Standby Zone after learning about the Mirror barrier. Meanwhile, Rena, Momoko, and Kaede struggle against unusually strong Familiars, and when Rena twists her ankle, the Nanoha trio steps in to save them. The groups introduce themselves, with the trio explaining they are from Uminary City while concealing their connection to the Administrative Bureau, and Rena warns them about dangerous Mirror copies that lurk deeper in the barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they observe Team Momoko&#039;s match, Nanoha comments on the fighting styles she sees and notes the variety of magic on display. She explains she was taught magic from an early age and is surprised to learn Iroha and the others gained their powers by making wishes to Kyubey. Iroha describes Kyubey as a white stuffed animal, which reminds Nanoha of her own first teacher, Yuuno. Nanoha shares that she discovered magic in third grade when she heard Yuuno calling for help, and since then she has honed her abilities alongside Fate and Hayate to protect others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks about Nanoha&#039;s device, Raising Heart, and how it can transform. Nanoha explains the device taught her magic step by step and once posed an important question to her: what is the most important thing in a fight? Iroha guesses it is the will to win, but before Nanoha can reveal the true answer, Fate and Hayate return from exploring. Fate requests a sparring match, and Iroha asks to watch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo joins Iroha to observe the fight between Nanoha and Fate. The two exchange blows at maximum speed, with Fate using close-range attacks while Nanoha fights from a distance. The match ends in a tie after a final, explosive clash. Before leaving for a break, Nanoha turns to Iroha and reveals the true answer to Raising Heart&#039;s question: wisdom and tactics. Iroha agrees, especially after witnessing their battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Natsuki is fretting over a lost wallet at the Promise Altar, and Ria offers to help her search since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway. Natsuki apologizes for the trouble, but Ria insists she doesn&#039;t mind and even offers to lend her money. Natsuki refuses the loan but admits she needs money for train fare home. She reluctantly agrees to borrow just enough for the trip and promises to pay Ria back later. Ria asks if Natsuki is sure she doesn&#039;t want to file a report, but Natsuki believes the wallet is simply lost rather than stolen and wants to keep searching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hayate Yagami#Side Story|Hayate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria suggests they retrace Natsuki&#039;s steps and asks where she&#039;s been. Natsuki lists the Promise Altar, the station, the shopping district, and an izakaya where she ate with friends. Ria questions why she went to an izakaya alone, and Natsuki clarifies she was with coworkers. Ria finds it odd that Natsuki was drinking with coworkers and then came to the shrine alone afterwards. Natsuki admits it&#039;s a long story involving a former coworker&#039;s engagement announcement that left her feeling restless. She came to the shrine to think but realized she didn&#039;t have enough money to get home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they search, they run into Masara and Kokoro. Masara bluntly tells Natsuki she probably won&#039;t find it and suggests getting a new student ID. Kokoro gently scolds her for being insensitive and offers to help search. Ria mentions they&#039;ve already looked around the shrine, so Kokoro suggests they expand the search area.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group heads to the shopping district, where they encounter Kanoko. She offers to help search as well, and they all continue looking together. Eventually, Ria asks Natsuki to retrace her exact steps from when she left the izakaya. Natsuki recalls walking to the station, realizing she didn&#039;t want to go home yet, and coming to the shrine. Ria points out that she would have needed her wallet to pay the izakaya bill, so she definitely had it after leaving. Natsuki confirms this and remembers using her train pass at the station before changing her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria concludes the wallet must be somewhere between the station turnstiles and the shrine, but they&#039;ve already searched that route thoroughly. Kanoko suggests Natsuki might have dropped it somewhere else without realizing, like when she pulled out her phone. Natsuki&#039;s eyes light up, and she admits she did take out her phone at the station to check something. She just can&#039;t remember what she did with her wallet after that. Ria proposes they split up to cover more ground, and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Natsuki returns home defeated and exhausted. Her father calls out to her, and when she enters the living room, she finds her wallet sitting on the table. Her mother found it in the shopping district and a kind stranger turned it in. Natsuki&#039;s relief quickly turns to panic when she remembers she borrowed money from Ria, and now she has no way to contact her. She considers calling Kokoro but realizes she doesn&#039;t have her number either. She decides to go back to the Promise Altar the next day to hopefully find Ria there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Natsuki returns to the Promise Altar and is relieved to spot Ria. She excitedly explains that her wallet was found and immediately tries to repay the loan. Ria accepts the money but notices Natsuki seems troubled about something else. Natsuki admits she&#039;s been thinking about her former coworker&#039;s engagement and how she handled the situation. Ria offers to listen if Natsuki wants to talk, but Natsuki says she&#039;d rather not burden her further. Ria insists it&#039;s no trouble since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki explains that her former coworker Yukari got engaged and announced it at a gathering. Natsuki congratulated her happily, but another coworker named Ootori made some passive-aggressive comments about how Yukari managed to find someone before her. Later, Ootori apologized to Natsuki for her behavior, but Natsuki feels she should have defended Yukari in the moment. She feels guilty for not speaking up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria asks why she feels responsible for defending Yukari. Natsuki admits it&#039;s because Yukari was always kind to her when she first started the job, and she feels she failed to repay that kindness. Ria points out that Natsuki did congratulate Yukari sincerely, and that was probably what mattered most to her in that moment. Natsuki realizes Ria is right and thanks her for the perspective.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just then, Kanagi arrives, and Ria prepares to leave. Before going, she offers Natsuki her contact information so she can reach out if she ever needs to talk again. Natsuki gratefully accepts, and the two part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During a break in the Mirrors tournament, Fate, Nanoha, and Hayate encounter a copy of Fate that proves too powerful for them to handle alone. Felicia, Kako, and Ayame appear to help, and together they defeat the copy. When Felicia asks what they&#039;re doing there, Fate admits they got lost. The Kamihama girls learn the trio is from out of town and younger than them, but they quickly become friends and head back to the standby zone together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Fate T. Harlaown#Side Story|Fate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group somehow gets roped into a dodgeball game, with teams forming spontaneously among the tournament participants. Fate proves to be exceptionally athletic, leading her team through multiple rounds against increasingly competitive opponents. After defeating Momoko&#039;s team, they face a martial arts team featuring Akira, Meiyui, and Asuka, which Fate also wins. Tsuruno, refusing to let age be a barrier, recruits Masara and Natsuki for a final match against Fate&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match comes down to a intense showdown between Fate and Tsuruno, both catching and returning each other&#039;s throws with increasing speed and power. Fate ultimately outmaneuvers Tsuruno by throwing to Nanoha and leaping into the air for the winning strike. Everyone celebrates the friendly tournament and the new friendships formed across different cities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the tournament progresses, Team Nanoha easily advances through early rounds with Fate&#039;s incredible speed, though Momoko notices Hayate and Nanoha have yet to reveal their full power. Elsewhere, Mitama learns that Momoko announced her team would break up if they lost not because Kaede is useless but to show their conviction, though both Kaede and Rena had doubts. The tournament continues until four teams remain, with Team Momoko advancing to the finals through clever strategy and Team Nanoha defeating Team Masara to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match begins with Fate and Rena clashing in a battle of speed that seemingly knocks both out, leaving Nanoha and Hayate to face Momoko and Kaede. Hayate fuses with Reinforce Zwei and unleashes Ragnarok to take out Kaede, then joins Nanoha against Momoko, who withstands Nanoha&#039;s Starlight Breaker as both girls stand exhausted. Before a winner can be decided, Lindy contacts Nanoha with an emergency: a fugitive illegally opened a rift between worlds, and the Mirror copy of Shizuku appears nearby, having used her powers to connect the Mirror labyrinth to Uminary City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The copy stole the tournament&#039;s grand prize, a special orb that exponentially increases magical power, and the girls call off the match to track her down. Team Nanoha and Team Momoko catch the copy, but after they defeat her, copies of Hayate, Fate, and Nanoha appear and swallow the broken orb pieces, gaining immense power. All the Magical Girls unite to take down the powered-up copies, and through combined efforts they finally delete the magical signatures. With the tunnel between worlds about to collapse, Mitama declares both teams winners, and the girls exchange heartfelt goodbyes before the Nanoha trio returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day in Kamihama, Kaede realizes her texts to Hayate no longer go through, Momoko cannot reach Nanoha or Fate, and Rena cannot find Uminary City on any map. Mitama and Shizuku conclude the girls must have come from a different world entirely, since they needed a space tunnel to travel rather than a simple train ride. Though Kaede is sad they may never meet again, Rena is grateful for the friendship they formed, and the three resolve to work hard for a future rematch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Asuka finds herself in a cloud-filled void facing a shadowy version of herself who claims to be the hidden part of Asuka&#039;s heart. The shadow declares Asuka is no longer fit to practice Ryushin-ryu because her blade has been sullied by contracting as a Magical Girl. When Asuka protests, the shadow recounts how Asuka wished for her cousin to become a police officer after his dreams were jeopardized by their uncle&#039;s arrest, arguing that twisting fate with magic was selfish and wrong. The shadow insists that with her heart no longer true, Asuka walks a false path and should abandon her school, urging her to die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her despair, Asuka remembers her father&#039;s words about asking her own heart what is right, like water filling a square bowl. She tells the shadow that perceptions of right and wrong can change with the situation, and though she cannot refute the shadow&#039;s claims, she knows her heart believed her actions were just. Believing words alone cannot reach the shadow, Asuka challenges her to a fight to prove her blade&#039;s strength reflects her sincere heart. The shadow warns that slaying her means slaying herself, but Asuka declares she fears being untrue to herself more than death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their swords clash, and after a long battle, the shadow succumbs to Asuka&#039;s attack and acknowledges her blade was as pure as her heart. The shadow warns she may return in a different form if Asuka&#039;s heart becomes stained again, then vanishes. Asuka awakens near a pond deep in the forest, where she had gone to meditate as part of her training. She remembers the shadow&#039;s promise and considers asking Mitama what it all meant, but feels her father&#039;s words have been engraved in her more deeply now. With her resolve unwavering, she runs back to the dojo, taking a straight path out of the woods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka awakens to find herself in a strange, cloud-filled void. A shadowy copy of herself appears, introducing itself as the part of her she has suppressed deep within her heart. The shadow urges Nanaka to end her pursuit of vengeance, calling it a fruitless endeavor that changes nothing. Nanaka refuses, explaining that the act of revenge itself holds meaning for her, not the result. The shadow questions where vengeance has led her: a life of constant danger in an endless struggle against Witches. Nanaka admits there is nothing to gain from her actions, but her conviction remains unshakable. The shadow then accuses Nanaka of dragging Akira, Kako, and Meiyui into her vengeance, using them to fulfill her goals. Nanaka acknowledges this truth but insists she would never throw their lives away. She believes fate brought them together to fight a common enemy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka recalls the moments before she lost consciousness. Her team had cornered a Witch, but it disappeared and reappeared near a weakened Kako. Nanaka leaped in to shield her, and Akira and Meiyui joined the fight. The shadow suggests Nanaka protected Kako to redeem herself, but Nanaka denies this. The shadow warns it will continue watching from the depths of her heart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka awakens to find her teammates standing over her, relieved she is alive. The Witch is defeated. Nanaka tells Kako not to worry about anything, as they are teammates. Meiyui finds her choice of words unusual, but Akira insists Nanaka see Mitama for a checkup. Kako thanks Nanaka for protecting her. Nanaka smiles, thinking to herself that each of them is their own flower, supporting one another through their shared fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Curry House CoCo ICHIBANYA Collaboration====&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha announces that a cafe Yachiyo frequents has opened a new location near Mikazuki Villa, and the group decides to visit on opening day. They arrive to find it is actually a Curry House CoCo Ichibanya, and Yachiyo passionately explains the menu options as they wait for the store to open.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Curry House CoCo ICHIBANYA Collaboration|Curry House CoCo ICHIBANYA Collaboration / Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the store opens early, the employee announces they cannot open today due to a missing delivery truck carrying ingredients. The employee breaks down in tears, explaining her family came to see her first store opening. The group notices magical energy emanating from the store and decides to help find the truck, promising to return for curry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They investigate at the last store the truck visited. The employee there confirms the truck is missing but provides spare ingredients and explains that stores support each other in times of trouble. The group splits into two teams: one to gather ingredients from other stores, and one to trace the truck&#039;s route. During coordination, they learn a second CoCoIchi truck has also gone missing on the same road.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While gathering ingredients, Tsuruno&#039;s group encounters a lost, hungry girl who flees upon hearing CoCoIchi and nearly crashes into Sana. Afterward, Sana realizes the employee at the new store could see her despite her invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s group follows the road where both trucks disappeared and finds a Witch&#039;s barrier. Inside, they find both trucks and their drivers. Iroha and Ui engage the Witch&#039;s familiars while Yachiyo secures the drivers. Iroha realizes the Witch is targeting the cargo, so she throws curry ingredients at it, causing the Witch to abandon the fight and allowing them to defeat it easily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno calls with urgent news that the store employee is a Magical Girl, her missing little sister is also a Magical Girl, and she has not been able to contact her since yesterday. The group fears the curry-loving Witch they just defeated was the sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the new store, where the employee is preparing their reward curry. Before Iroha can confess, a girl rushes in calling for her sister. It is the employee&#039;s little sister, alive and well. The group realizes the Witch was simply a curry-loving Witch unrelated to the sister. They finally sit down to enjoy the promised curry together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui====&lt;br /&gt;
* Meiyui&#039;s family is helping organize a local event when a stranger stabs one of their members and flees, dropping a badge. Meiyui chooses to tend to the victim rather than give chase, despite his protests that she is being too soft.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many in the organization want revenge, but Meiyui refuses, not wanting to return to their old ways as an evil organization. The members are reluctant to involve the police due to being falsely accused of murder three years prior. Meiyui had contracted with Kyubey back then to expose the truth with her wish, but lingering distrust remains.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui goes alone to track the culprit. The dropped badge leads her to an abandoned company tied to illegal labor her family had helped shut down. After defeating a stray Witch, she is ambushed and kidnapped by a man with a taser.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She wakes handcuffed alongside about ten others. The kidnappers reveal the badge was a trap to lure her. They include a former police officer who had fabricated evidence against her family and associates of the real murderer from that case, all blaming the Blue Seas for ruining their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her Soul Gem is heavily tainted from the Witch fight, and she begins hearing her Doppel&#039;s voice. In a cloudy void, her shadow self insists she should have killed these enemies when she had the chance, arguing her organization cannot survive without dirtying their hands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Meiyui struggles to stay conscious, she uses her last energy to beg the culprits to leave her family alone, insisting they are not a bad group. The stabber dismisses her pleas and suggests killing her as a warning instead. Her Doppel mocks her, saying evil people will always exist no matter how sincerely she tries to live righteously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, her organization members arrive to rescue her. The stabbed victim is among them, now grateful Meiyui had stayed to help him instead of chasing revenge. He admits he used to believe abandoning burdens was the way of the world, but facing death alone showed him he was wrong. He is alive because of Meiyui&#039;s strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hearing this, Meiyui&#039;s mind clears. In the void, her Doppel asks if she is ready to kill them, but Meiyui rejects violence entirely. The Doppel submits, allowing her to put everyone in the area to sleep without bloodshed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The police soon arrive after the kidnapper, persuaded by Meiyui, confesses over the phone. They find several family members asleep everywhere and note a look of complete relief on Meiyui&#039;s sleeping face.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Little Bird&#039;s Star====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe and other Black Feathers are in Fendt Hope, commiserating about their weakness. A White Feather had to bail them out after they were followed by a Witch while delivering a parcel from Mitama&#039;s shop. They discuss Yachiyo Nanami, a veteran Magical Girl who destroys Uwasas.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu and Nemu emerge from a room arguing. Nemu dismisses Mifuyu and approaches the Black Feathers with a request. She asks them to investigate the &amp;quot;Uwasa of the Jealous Coward,&amp;quot; also called the &amp;quot;Green-Eyed Coward.&amp;quot; Kuroe hesitates but agrees when Nemu insists she has the aptitude.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group investigates an area with many students but cannot find the Uwasa. The other Black Feathers leave for personal commitments. Kuroe stays, feeling she has nothing to return to. The Uwasa manifests when Kuroe expresses envy toward the other girls&#039; normal lives. Two Black Feathers are knocked unconscious. Nemu is satisfied with the results and tasks Kuroe with investigating more Uwasas starting tomorrow. Kuroe protests but Nemu leaves before she can refuse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Memoria 1743.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The Amane twins, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo, meet Kuroe at Fendt Hope and they begin investigating Uwasas in Sakae Ward but find nothing. They move to Hokuyo Ward. Kuroe notices a missing cat poster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They sense Yachiyo&#039;s group nearby and flee. Yachiyo and Iroha corner Kuroe. The twins escape. Yachiyo interrogates Kuroe. An Uwasa resembling Kuroe appears and attacks, then disappears. Yachiyo accuses Kuroe of controlling it. Kuroe insists she had no knowledge of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo decides to take Kuroe camping to monitor her. At the campground, the Amane twins briefly contact Kuroe and say they will consult Nemu, so Kuroe resolves to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe helps Iroha gather firewood. Iroha is scared by a caterpillar and Kuroe removes it. Kuroe introduces herself by name. She helps the group set up their tent and prepare lunch, using skills learned from Wings of Magius training. She reminds herself not to get drawn into their warm atmosphere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mentions a waterfall power spot. Kuroe offers to get water. Iroha accompanies her. They get lost. A woman helps Kuroe find the waterfall and gives her an empty bottle. The woman explains the place is her personal power spot for resetting her mind. Kuroe wishes she had strength to face the future. The Uwasa appears and attacks the woman. Iroha arrives and finds the woman unconscious. Kuroe begs Iroha for help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe carries the unconscious woman back to the campsite. The Amane twins inform her that Nemu says she is possessed by the Uwasa and should stay with Yachiyo&#039;s group. Yachiyo warns that if more casualties occur, she will destroy the Uwasa. Iroha suggests keeping Kuroe for observation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group participates in a stamp rally and Iroha and Kuroe pair up. They discover they are both from Takarazaki. Iroha explains she moved to Kamihama to find her missing sister. Suddenly, a Witch appears and Kuroe and Iroha fight it together. Kuroe acts as a decoy while Iroha defeats the Witch. Kuroe feels inadequate compared to Iroha&#039;s courage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe asks for time alone and she reflects on her fears and envy. The Uwasa appears again, resembling Kuroe. The group fights it and Iroha urges Kuroe to destroy the Uwasa. Kuroe admits she is afraid she cannot be herself, so she and Iroha destroy the Uwasa together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amane twins inform Kuroe they must report the Uwasa&#039;s destruction, yet Kuroe does not regret it. Iroha asks to talk with Kuroe and Yachiyo offers them tea. Kuroe admits she feels safe with the Wings of Magius because they represent hope for her. Iroha accepts this and Kuroe tells Iroha she wants to be like her someday. They part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe finds the missing cat and returns it to its owner, who is overjoyed. Kuroe realizes she saved someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe reports to Nemu and Mifuyu. Nemu reveals the Uwasa summons itself based on dissatisfaction and envy. Nemu admits she expected Yachiyo&#039;s group to handle an accident with the Uwasa. However, Nemu is satisfied that she now has more research on fusing Uwasa with Magical Girls, however Mifuyu warns Nemu not to experiment on the Feathers. Kuroe realizes that even the Magius are imperfect and she reflects on her long day. She resolves to do her best, one step at a time, and hopes to see Iroha again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 7th==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia and Sana decide to buy matching coasters as a gift for Yachiyo, to show their appreciation, and after some searching, they find a suitable set.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 6: The Memories that Speak of the Truth|Chapter 6: The Memories that Speak of the Truth]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 8th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the plan to present the gift is interrupted when Mifuyu Azusa arrives at the villa before Yachiyo returns home. The girls&#039; plan was for Iroha to wait inside while the others came from outside to surprise Yachiyo. Mifuyu prepares tea and reveals one of the two mugs on the top shelf, which Yachiyo forbade Iroha from using, belongs to her. Mifuyu invites Iroha to a lecture hosted by the Wings of the Magius to explain their goal of &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls. The lecture is scheduled for two days later at the Memory Museum and Iroha agrees to investigate the Rumor about the museum first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo returns home and is visibly distressed to find Mifuyu there. Mifuyu leaves, asking Iroha to inform the others about the lecture. Before finally leaving, Mifuyu returns to speak to Yachiyo privately. She references a &amp;quot;promise&amp;quot; they made a year ago, and accuses Yachiyo of returning to her old ways. Yachiyo insists her relationship with Iroha and the others is &amp;quot;just cooperating.&amp;quot; Yachiyo retreats to her room without receiving the coasters. That night, Yachiyo reflects on her past, resolving to return to the person she once was.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 9th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the lecture, Iroha is unable to give Yachiyo the coasters due to Yachiyo&#039;s low spirits. Iroha discusses her plan to attend the Wings of the Magius lecture with Madoka Kaname via text. Iroha then attempts to investigate the Rumor of the Memory Museum. Yachiyo claims no knowledge of it and leaves for school. Iroha and Momoko ask Mitama, who refuses to share information to maintain her neutrality. After the visit, Mitama has a separate conversation with Momoko about Momoko&#039;s own secret, advising her to tell her friends the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede and Rena help Iroha by summoning the creature that recites the Rumor of the Memory Museum, which allows people to view researched memories. Tsuruno&#039;s father provides the location of the similar-sounding &amp;quot;Kamihama Memorial Museum.&amp;quot; That evening, Yachiyo refuses to join the investigation, reiterating that her relationship with the others is strictly professional, which saddens Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Saturday, the 10th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the lecture, Yachiyo again refuses to go to the museum and Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana go to the Kamihama Memorial Museum without her. There, they are greeted by Touka Satomi, who reveals herself as one of the three Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently at Mikazuki, Yachiyo, haunted by memories of past friends, decides she must investigate the Memory Museum herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Touka throne 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka Satomi gives them a lecture titled &amp;quot;The Truth Behind Magical Girls.&amp;quot; She presents three key items through illustrative stories:&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 1: Soul Gems. A story reveals that a Soul Gem is a Magical Girl&#039;s actual soul. Using magic consumes this life force, and if the gem shatters, the Magical Girl dies. Touka uses an analogy of an internal vs. external battery to explain Soul Gems and Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 2: Witches. A second story demonstrates that when a Magical Girl&#039;s Soul Gem becomes fully corrupted, she transforms into a Witch. This revelation traumatizes Felicia, who realizes the Witches she has been killing were once Magical Girls and that she herself is destined to become one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 3: Doppels. A third story explains that in Kamihama City, a fully corrupted Soul Gem can manifest a &amp;quot;Doppel&amp;quot; instead of a Witch. The Wings of the Magius present this as the key to &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls from their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* To prove their claims, Touka and Mifuyu Azusa activate the Memory Museum&#039;s Rumor. Mifuyu presents a book containing her own memories, inviting the group to witness the truth of the lecture firsthand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo arrives at the museum and confronts Touka. She is shown into the memory dimension where Iroha and the others are and Mifuyu activates the Rumor, forcing the group to relive her memories. The memories depict Yachiyo&#039;s former team, Mikazuki Villa:&lt;br /&gt;
** The first memory shows Kanae Yukino sacrificing herself to reveal a Witch&#039;s weakness. Her uninjured body is found next to her shattered Soul Gem, proving the Soul Gem is the Magical Girl&#039;s life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second memory shows Mel Anna using too much magic to protect Yachiyo. With no Grief Seed to purify her fully corrupted Soul Gem, Mel transforms into a Witch before the team&#039;s eyes, confirming Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The third memory shows Mifuyu&#039;s despair six months after Mel&#039;s death, causing her Soul Gem to corrupt fully. Instead of becoming a Witch, she manifests a Doppel. Touka then appears and recruits her into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno is consumed by guilt over Mel&#039;s death, believing her absence that day was the cause. Felicia is horrified, realizing the Witches she killed were Magical Girls and Sana is terrified but feels powerless to change the system. Touka and Mifuyu use this emotional vulnerability to press their recruitment offers to each girl, promising a world where these tragedies are impossible and even suggesting Sana could be freed from her wish of invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo reject the offer to join and Yachiyo compares the Magius&#039; methods to Kyubey&#039;s, accusing them of exploiting weaknesses. Yachiyo then announces she is disbanding their team, which Iroha protests, but Yachiyo insists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka reveals that Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana have been brainwashed and now serve the Wings of the Magius. Alina Gray arrives and traps Iroha and Yachiyo within her Labyrinth and leaves them to face a Witch. As they fight the Witch, Yachiyo reiterates her decision to disband the team and work alone. She reveals her wish was &amp;quot;I want to survive,&amp;quot; and explains that she interprets this as a curse: the power to survive by sacrificing her teammates, based on the last words of her former comrades, Kanae and Mel, who both died while she lived. Yachiyo believes that to protect Iroha, she must sever their partnership.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha rejects Yachiyo&#039;s conclusion. She declares she will defeat the Uwasa alone to prove Yachiyo&#039;s &amp;quot;curse&amp;quot; is not real and that she can protect Yachiyo. Iroha states she is angry that Yachiyo made this decision for everyone and vows to rescue their brainwashed friends. She defeats the Witch and rejects Yachiyo&#039;s belief in a cursed wish and declares herself the new leader to nullify its perceived effect. Yachiyo relents and agrees to work with Iroha to save their friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the same time, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, having detected Mami&#039;s magic while investigating Kamihama, investigate the closed Kamihama Recording Museum. They are attacked by the Wings of the Magius. While Madoka and Homura hold them off, Sayaka proceeds and witnesses Mami, transformed into &amp;quot;Holy Mami,&amp;quot; attacking Iroha and Yachiyo. It is here that Sayaka learns the horrific truth that Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 6: Confrontation with Fate|Another Story Chapter 6: Confrontation with Fate]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, now a brainwashed member of the Wings of the Magius, confronts them. As Iroha and Yachiyo are too injured to fight, Sayaka Miki arrives and intervenes. Sayaka uses a bomb from Homura to create a diversion, allowing the three to escape.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After their escape, Sayaka gives Iroha a Grief Seed. Iroha explains the truth about Witches and the Wings of the Magius to Sayaka, who is horrified. Sayaka leaves to process this information and Iroha and Yachiyo walk home in silence to reflect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After fleeing the museum, Sayaka reunites with Madoka and Homura, defeats their pursuers in a distraught state, and explains what happened to Mami to them, as well as the truth about becoming Witches.The group returns to Mitakihara in silence but Madoka resolves to find a way to avoid their fate and to save Mami. Sayaka agrees to fight back as well and later decides to meet with Kyoko Sakura.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, at Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo reaffirm their commitment to save their friends and Momoko arrives, having told the secret of Magical Girls to Rena and Kaede. Yachiyo also apologizes for her actions and explains her fears about her wish. Momoko forgives her and reaffirms their friendship. Iroha then receives a text from Madoka, who promises to come to Kamihama to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Sayaka meets Kyoko and reveals the truth about Witches. Kyoko deduces this is what the Wings of the Magius meant by &amp;quot;saving&amp;quot; Magical Girls. Kyoko declares she will find a way to avoid becoming a Witch and confront the Wings of the Magius alone, rejecting Sayaka&#039;s offer of help. Despite Sayaka&#039;s protests, Kyoko leaves to operate solo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo has a box containing belongings left behind by her friends Kanae and Mel. She has never opened it. She spends the day staring at it but cannot bring herself to open it. Iroha arrives and asks about the box. Yachiyo explains its contents and admits her hesitation. They remember they need to visit Mitama, so Yachiyo decides to deal with the box later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitairoyachi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s place, the girls offer payment for adjustments. Mitama worries about Yachiyo&#039;s emotional state and suggests she clear up her issues with the box before proceeding. Yachiyo tells her to mind her own business. Mitama offers to adjust both girls together, which is unusual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the adjustment, Yachiyo is confronted by a shadowy doppelganger that represents her fear. The shadow forces her to confront her guilt over Kanae and Mel&#039;s deaths and her fear of the future. Yachiyo admits she is afraid but refuses to give in to despair. She resolves to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The shadow disappears. Iroha appears and stays with Yachiyo. Kanae and Mel appear and bid Yachiyo goodbye, encouraging her to head toward the future. Yachiyo awakens and Mitama reveals she adjusted them together out of concern, for which Yachiyo thanks her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Mikazuki, Yachiyo finally opens the box. Kanae left a book of lyrics. Mel left a fortune telling prophecy about a circle of Magical Girls gathering in Kamihama and a star falling near Yachiyo. Upon reading this, Yachiyo cries. Iroha suggests they head into the future together. Yachiyo agrees, stating they first need to get back Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha resolves to find her lost friends and mentally tells Ui to wait a bit longer. Iroha and Yachiyo finish cleaning their house. Iroha resolves to give the coasters she and the others bought for Yachiyo when everyone is reunited. Iroha says she sent a message to Madoka in Mitakihara City, but hasn&#039;t gotten a response.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 7: The Eve of Awakening to Paradise|Chapter 7: Awakening to Paradise]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Immediately after Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana are taken, Mifuyu reports to Touka and Alina that the brainwashing on the three is holding, so Touka selects Tsuruno for a mission, which Alina states will involve &amp;quot;mass murder.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in her room, Iroha thinks back to when she celebrated Christmas with her friends, but resolves to keep going with her mission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sunday, the 11th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo investigate the Kamihama Rumor Files at Mikazuki Villa. Iroha recognizes some of the Rumors. They meet with Momoko, who mentions Tsuruno&#039;s perfect school attendance record is now broken and that a new amusement park is also opening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo visit Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant and her father reveals Tsuruno and Felicia visited once. Tsuruno told him she found a place where she feels safe and would not return and he notes her expression was blank, similar to how she looked a year ago after Mel&#039;s death. Afterwards, a White Feather ambushes Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will be used for a mission like Tsuruno, and the two fight off the attacker.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Likely on this day, Yachiyo pulls out a box containing what her former friends Kanae Yukino and Mel Anna left behind. She has never opened it since filling it and spends the entire day staring at it, unable to lift the lid. When Iroha arrives and asks about it, Yachiyo explains and admits she is trying to work through her feelings. Iroha offers to help, but Yachiyo deflects, reminding her they were supposed to visit Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls visit Mitama Yakumo and present Grief Seeds as payment for adjustment. Mitama is surprised by the offering and promises to do her best, but she expresses concern about Yachiyo&#039;s emotional state. She suggests Yachiyo clear up her issues with the box before moving forward and offers to adjust both girls at once as a special exception.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Mitama works on her, Yachiyo finds herself in a gray room confronted by a shadowy doppelganger. The shadow accuses her of being afraid of the future and clinging to the past. When Yachiyo refuses to give in to despair, the shadow transforms into her doppel, but she stands firm, accepting her fear while choosing to move forward. Iroha appears beside her, and together they bid farewell to visions of Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo awakens and realizes Mitama adjusted them together intentionally, trusting Iroha could help her if needed. She thanks Mitama for looking out for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at her house, Yachiyo finally opens the box with Iroha beside her. Inside, Kanae left a book of lyrics about becoming a circle with others, and Mel left fortune telling impressions predicting a future where many magical girls would gather in Kamihama. Yachiyo cries as she reads their words. Iroha suggests they head toward that gentle future together. Yachiyo agrees but says first they need to get back their own three points: Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Monday, the 12th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo devise a plan to destroy Rumors across Kamihama to lure out the Wings of the Magius and locate their base. They share this plan with Momoko, who offers to help by getting Grief Seeds for them while they hunt. Momoko then goes to check on Kaede, who is hiding in her room. She hugs Kaede and tells her she and Rena will always be there to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo systematically hunt Rumors like the &amp;quot;Historical Battle Marker,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Castle Town Illusion,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Headless Biker Gang,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Puzzle Tiles Lock,&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;Fashion Monster.&amp;quot; They also interrogate captured Feathers, but none reveal information about Tsuruno, Felicia, or Sana&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Momoko investigates a rapidly spreading rumor about a new amusement park. She notes it originated in the east and spread west through Sakae, Mizuna, and Shinsei Wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha and Yachiyo analyze the Kamihama Rumor Files, marking all known Rumor locations on a map. They identify a pattern: Rumors cluster more densely in Shinsei Ward, with a notable concentration around Satomi Medical Center, the hospital where Ui was supposedly treated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They travel to the hospital area and are ambushed by Feathers. Felicia and Sana, who had broken free of the brainwashing, arrive and help fight off the attackers. The four Magical Girls reunite and Felicia and Sana reveal they pretended to be brainwashed to gather information. Momoko confirms the amusement park rumor spread from east to west and will open at dawn in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Sana explain to Yachiyo and Iroha that Mifuyu used her illusion magic to break their brainwashing. Mifuyu revealed the Magius are protecting and strengthening Witches for their liberation plan and are planning to use the brainwashed Magical Girls to cross a dangerous line. Mifuyu attempted to free Tsuruno but failed, as Tsuruno&#039;s reason for being brainwashed was different. Mifuyu then helped Felicia and Sana escape but chose to remain behind, stating they would be enemies next time they meet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko arrives and shares her investigation into a new Rumor about an amusement park opening at dawn in two days. She confirms it spread from the east, and the group overlays the Rumor locations on a map and identifies a pattern suggesting a source or &amp;quot;eye of the storm&amp;quot; in the eastern wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kanagi screenshot.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo decides to contact Kanagi Izumi, the powerful Magical Girl who controls the eastern Daito and Kosho Wards and is a former rival of hers. Kanagi agrees to an alliance, and during their call, Tsukasa of the Wings of the Magius arrives at Kanagi&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tuesday, the 13th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The morning, Felicia and Sana try to accompany Iroha and Yachiyo but are told to rest due to their collapse the previous night. Iroha and Yachiyo leave them behind. Meanwhile in Kosho Ward, Iroha, Yachiyo, Momoko, and Kanagi meet and Kanagi agrees to ally with them against the Wings of the Magius. They combine their Rumor data on a map, which reveals a circular pattern with a vacant center in Kosho Ward and Kanagi identifies the old railway yard as the likely location of the Wings&#039; base.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After learning the truth about Witches, Madoka questions Kyubey about a way to avoid becoming a Witch. Kyubey states he knows of no method and reveals he cannot enter Kamihama City himself. He proposes an alliance to investigate the Wings of the Magius but Madoka refuses to promise cooperation. She resolves to return to Kamihama with her friends, but then a Witch from Kamihama appears in Mitakihara.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 7: If We Could All Share with Each Other|Another Story Chapter 7: If We Could All Share with Each Other]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura defeat the Kamihama Witch. They share Grief Seeds and note the alarming appearance of foreign Witches in their city. The trio resolves to go to Kamihama the next day to find answers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Around this time, Kyoko successfully infiltrates the Wings of the Magius. She is assigned to a team tasked with dealing with a group that erases Rumors, which she suspects is Iroha&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s group travels to the railway yard but finds it empty. They are ambushed by Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who summon Witches and during the battle, Kanagi uses her unique power to read Iroha&#039;s true intentions and confirms her sincerity. Kanagi then joins the fight and helps defeat the Amane sisters and their Black Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi uses her power on the defeated Amane sisters to read their minds and she learns that Tsuruno is still completely brainwashed and has become part of an Uwasa to protect it. She also learns Tsuruno&#039;s location is at the Ferris Wheel Field in Daito Ward and the group prepares to move out immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Sana and Felicia wait anxiously and Yachiyo calls them with an update.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Rena visits Kaede at her house, and after an argument involving slapping and pinching, Kaede reconciles with Rena and agrees to return to school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team arrives in Daito Ward, where Yachiyo and Iroha plan to enter the &amp;quot;amusement park&amp;quot; Rumor to save Tsuruno, while Felicia, Sana, Momoko, and Kanagi hold off the Wings of the Magius. The group locates the Rumor&#039;s entrance and Kanagi and Momoko stay behind to fight the Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo proceed and confront Alina, Touka, and Mifuyu, where Alina declares her intent to erase them. During the battle, Mifuyu secretly tells Yachiyo that destroying the main Uwasa will kill Tsuruno, and that they must instead tear the Uwasa from her by connecting with her heart. Mifuyu also reveals Tsuruno is in a Ferris wheel car.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101705 uwasatsuruno.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo enter the Rumor, &amp;quot;Chelation Land,&amp;quot; which induces a hazy, thoughtless state. They find Tsuruno, who has fully merged with the Uwasa and acts as the park&#039;s host. Tsuruno tries to force them to relax and stay, serving them hotpot in mugs reminiscent of Mikazuki Villa, but they refuse and attempt to reason with Tsuruno, and she attacks them. Following Mifuyu&#039;s advice, they combine their magic to tear the Uwasa from Tsuruno in one powerful strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nemu02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After Tsuruno is freed from the Uwasa, Yachiyo realizes that Tsuruno&#039;s cheerful demeanor was a facade to hide her pain and guilt over past events, including the death of Mel. The team defeats the main Uwasa of Chelation Land and the Magius, Touka, Nemu Hiiragi, and Alina, confront the group. Nemu reveals she is the &amp;quot;Creator&amp;quot; of all the Rumors in Kamihama and the Magius explain their goal: to use the energy generated by Rumors and Witches to hatch &amp;quot;Embryo Eve,&amp;quot; a being that will liberate all Magical Girls worldwide from the fate of becoming Witches. They state the phenomenon requires the presence of all three Magius and a massive energy source, for which they have used the people of Kamihama and the teams part ways in opposition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 14th==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101701 coaster02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, at Mikazuki Villa, the team summarizes the Magius&#039; plan and that Kamihama is an incubator for Embryo Eve. They resolve to stop the Magius due to the plan&#039;s high human cost and the group gives Yachiyo the set of sakura blossom-themed coasters as a symbol of their team unity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka are separately attacked by multiple Kamihama Witches in Mitakihara before reuniting. They realize the Witch incursion is a coordinated attack meant to prevent them from leaving Mitakihara. Their magic and Grief Seed reserves are heavily depleted in the constant battles.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the ongoing Witch attacks, the trio is overwhelmed by a powerful Witch and is forced to retreat. Sayaka breaks down, admitting her terror of becoming a Witch and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka share their fears and resolve to face the threat together. They are observed by Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, who imply the attack is part of their plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Fendt Hope, Kyoko, having gained the trust of her unit, is taken on a tour of the Wings of the Magius headquarters by her White Feather superior.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, the three defeat the Feathers sent to observe them, and after interrogating them, they receive a message from Iroha about how to save Mami. Holy Mami arrives to Mitakihara and reveals she brought the Witches to Mitakihara to keep the three of them &amp;quot;safe,&amp;quot; and insists the Magius will save them. Alina Gray also appears and traps Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka in a Barrier, which Mami seals with her ribbons.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her infiltration, Kyoko is taken to Hotel Fenthope by Mifuyu Azusa. She confronts Holy Mami, accusing her of not being the real Mami Tomoe. Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi arrive and reinforce the Rumor brainwashing on Mami. Mifuyu secretly escorts Kyoko away and reveals the Magius&#039; plans: they are using a mysterious entity called &amp;quot;Eve&amp;quot; to liberate Magical Girls and are deliberately bringing Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama to hatch it. Horrified, Kyoko rejects the Magius and is led out of the city by Mifuyu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 8: Once Again From Here|Another Story Chapter 8: Once Again From Here]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko arrives in Mitakihara and frees Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka from Alina&#039;s Barrier. She explains the Magius&#039; plan to bring Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama and Homura urges the group to stay in Mitakihara for safety. Kyoko departs alone, later resolving to return and crush the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Iroha has a sudden memory flashback to the hospital, triggered by the word &amp;quot;sakura.&amp;quot; She remembers a story she, Ui, Touka, and Nemu created about the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot; She deduces this Rumor is real and located at the hospital, and that all the Rumors were created there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Touka and Nemu observe that Embryo Eve has reached a critical state and they confirm that a legendary, cross-dimensional event they foresaw: the arrival of Walpurgisnacht, will provide the final, massive energy surge needed to hatch Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo calls a meeting with the Mikazuki Villa household, Tsuruno, and the Momoko trio to share her concern that rumors persist even after they defeat the Uwasa themselves. The group splits up to investigate whether the original Uwasa have truly vanished or transformed into something new.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hereafter: &amp;quot;The Rumor of the Rumor of the Rumor&amp;quot;|Hereafter: &amp;quot;The Rumor of the Rumor of the Rumor&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko, Kaede, and Rena investigate the Breakup Staircase and find only scattered internet gossip remains. During their search, lingering tensions surface over Rena&#039;s painful memories of when Kaede was kidnapped by that Uwasa, but the trio ultimately reconciles and continues working together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno visit Mizuna Shrine, where the Séance Shrine Uwasa has transformed into a popular spot for relationship prayers with new mascots. They encounter a grieving girl who comes daily to pray for her deceased friend, and Yachiyo is reminded of her own departed companions Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Felicia track down the man behind the revived Misery Water rumor, who confesses he was scammed into buying the water and cannot bring himself to deceive others. Felicia helps him find honest work, and the rumors die out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana investigates an online forum where troubled users make veiled threats, but the rumor fades without incident. Tsuruno and Iroha check Chelation Land, where Tsuruno reflects on her past brainwashing and muses about whether some Uwasa exist independently of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The groups reconvene and report that all investigated rumors have left minimal traces. Yachiyo concludes their investigation of the Uwasa is complete, and only the Wings of Magius themselves remain to be confronted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voices from Beyond, Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the afterlife, Mel Anna meets Kanae Yukino, another Magical Girl ghost who also died fighting a Witch. Mel is thrilled to discover they were both on a team with Yachiyo Nanami and calls Kanae her senpai. Kanae takes Mel to a ghost cafe where deceased Magical Girls gather, explaining they cannot interact with the living world except through psychics.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Voices From Beyond|Voices From Beyond]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they wander Kamihama, Mel notices Witch numbers rising dramatically and worries about Yachiyo. They follow Yachiyo and are relieved to find she has new companions in Iroha Tamaki and others, though they remain concerned about their former teammate Mifuyu&#039;s absence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, they watch helplessly as Yachiyo battles the Wings of Magius and eventually enters the Memory Museum, where she relives the trauma of losing Mel and Kanae. When Yachiyo dissolves her team afterward, convinced her magic causes others to die for her, the ghosts desperately try to reach her. Kanae notices Yachiyo kept their mementos: Mel&#039;s fortune log and Kanae&#039;s notebook. They focus their thoughts on these items, and that night, Yachiyo discovers their messages—Kanae&#039;s lyrics about forming a circle and Mel&#039;s fortune predicting the current events. Grateful, she resolves to move forward. Their successful contact gets their ghost licenses suspended, and they watch Yachiyo&#039;s dream of their encounter before fading.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 15th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius initiate a city-wide offensive, unleashing powerful Witches and sending brainwashed Black and White Feathers to indiscriminately attack other Magical Girls. Mami delivers a declaration of war to Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will no longer delay their plan for &amp;quot;freedom.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 8: Kamihama Painted in Lies|Chapter 8: Kamihama Painted in Fiction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magical Girls of Kamihama form a coordinated response and Yachiyo&#039;s team devises a strategy: first, eliminate the unleashed Witches; second, protect other Magical Girls and direct them to Mitama&#039;s shop as a safe haven; third, deal with the rampaging Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, recalling the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; in Hokuyo Ward, theorizes it could be the location of the Magius&#039; hidden base. Yachiyo approves Iroha and Sana to investigate this lead separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next several hours, the teams execute the plan. Yachiyo rescues Ren from a Black Feather and escorts her to Mitama&#039;s shop. Kaede Afinds Konomi protecting an injured Kako; together they defeat a Witch and get Kako to safety. Rena aids Asuka and Sasara, later teaming with Ria and Manaka to defeat a Witch. Momoko and Aimi rescue Kokoro and Masara from Feathers. Tsuruno works with Hinano to eliminate a Witch and warns her about the Feathers. Felicia fights alongside Akira and Nanaka&#039;s group, eventually reuniting with Tsuruno. Kanagi protects Himika from Feathers and sends her to Mitama&#039;s. Yachiyo and Kanagi also rescue Riko and Ayaka from Feather attacks and track the enemy to a heliport. Yachiyo, Kanagi, Momoko&#039;s team, and Tsuruno&#039;s team successfully clear the city of the powerful Witches and they rescue and guide numerous Magical Girls to Mitama&#039;s shop. Momoko confronts Mitama, challenging her to abandon her neutral stance and Mitama agrees to allow her shop to be used as a headquarters and to share her knowledge about the Magius&#039; plans.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama reveals the truth that Magical Girls are destined to become Witches, and that the Magius aim to use the energy from Embryo Eve to spread the Doppel phenomenon worldwide, preventing this fate. However, their methods involve sacrificing the citizens of Kamihama and other Magical Girls to gather this energy, so the Magical Girls at the shelter decide to join the fight against the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, in Chuo Ward, Yachiyo and Kanagi are ambushed by Mami and a horde of brainwashed Feathers at the Kamihama Central Tower heliport. The battle is difficult due to the Feathers&#039; numbers and Mami&#039;s enhanced power from the Uwasa. Kanagi reads Mami&#039;s mind and finds her personality has been completely overwritten by the Uwasa&#039;s influence, leaving only her devotion to the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia then arrive as reinforcements and during the fight, a Black Feather loses her &amp;quot;Receiver Pendant.&amp;quot; Kanagi reads this Feather&#039;s mind, uncovering that the Feathers&#039; berserk state is caused by the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Receiver Pendant,&amp;quot; which numbs their emotions and forces them to obey the Magius&#039; orders. The memory also reveals the three Magius orchestrating the attack to harvest emotional energy from the chaos, believing it will bring their utopia closer. The Feather who lost her pendant then begins to regain her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team battles the brainwashed Mami and the Wings of the Magius. With the help of Momoko&#039;s team and Kanagi&#039;s ability to read the enemy&#039;s weakness, they remove the Uwasa from Mami, freeing her from its control. Mami collapses from exhaustion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Homura pleads with Madoka and Sayaka not to go to Kamihama, fearing for their lives against Walpurgisnacht. After initial hesitation, Madoka and Sayaka resolve to go and Homura agrees to accompany them. The trio leaves for Kamihama but cannot contact Iroha Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Upon arriving in Kamihama, the three are attacked by brainwashed Black Feathers in Sakae Ward, but the Feathers suddenly regain their senses and flee. The trio pursues them into Central Ward and meets Kanoko Yayoi, Karin Misono, and Natsuki Utsuho. They learn that other Magical Girls are gathering at Mitama Yakumo&#039;s office and Karin reveals she saw Nanaka Tokiwa carrying an unconscious Mami there. The group goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds Mami, who has been freed from the Magius&#039; control and awakens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius then execute their plan: they cause a city-wide blackout and seize control of Kamihama&#039;s radio waves and power grid. They use Nemu&#039;s power to project a false utopia over the city, attracting Witches, and Touka&#039;s power to send a signal that summons the legendary Witch, Walpurgisnacht. Their goal is to use the chaos and emotional energy to hatch &amp;quot;Eve.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana infiltrate the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; Labyrinth, initially having their presence hidden due to Sana&#039;s unique magic. There, Iroha confronts Touka and Nemu, using the Uwasa itself as proof that her memories of their shared past with Ui are real. Despite this, Touka and Nemu don&#039;t believe her and refuse to halt their plans. Alina arrives, captures Iroha, and takes her to their main base, Hotel Fendt Hope. Afterwards, Sana escapes and informs Yachiyo&#039;s arriving team of Iroha&#039;s capture.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Mitama reveals she previously supplied the Wings with Grief Seeds in exchange for neutrality but has now chosen to side with Yachiyo&#039;s team against them. Mami herself awakens, now having reconciled with her inner turmoil. Now, Yachiyo&#039;s team, reinforced by Momoko&#039;s team and Mami, prepares to assault Hotel Fendt Hope to rescue Iroha and stop the Magius before Walpurgisnacht arrives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, freed from the Uwasa&#039;s influence, resolves to expose the Magius&#039; true plans to the Feathers and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka decide to support her instead of joining Iroha&#039;s group. Nanaka and her team escort them to the heliport and during the journey, Mami explains to Nanaka that the Feathers&#039; loyalty was placed not in the Magius themselves, but in Mifuyu Azusa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 9: Take My Hand|Another Story Chapter 9: Take My Hand]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the heliport, Mami arrives where the exhausted Feathers and Kamihama Magical Girls are at a stalemate. She reveals the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice hundreds of civilians, including the Feathers&#039; own friends and family, to Walpurgisnacht. She also details their previous use of the Chelation Land Rumor for a similar purpose and the Feathers are shocked and dismayed. Some even accuse Mami of hypocrisy, which she does not deny.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Feathers split into two factions: one that still desires liberation at any cost and another that vows to protect Kamihama. A fight breaks out between them and Madoka and the others defend Mami, declaring their unwavering friendship. Moved, Mami asks the Feathers if they have anyone they trust unconditionally, as she now does, and the Feathers state they trust Mifuyu and demand to hear the truth from her directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami entrusts the Feathers to Nanaka&#039;s team, while she, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka then proceed to Hotel Fendthope to aid Iroha. On the way, Mami thanks her friends and asks them to rely on her as an equal ally and friend, not as a veteran. They arrive at the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Mitama is guarding the entrance. She confirms she is aware of Mami&#039;s past struggles and allows the group to pass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 16th==&lt;br /&gt;
* At Hotel Fendt Hope, Sana infiltrates the hotel to find Iroha and she overhears Feathers discussing Iroha&#039;s location and heads there. Iroha is held in a cell and, with her Soul Gem confiscated, she reflects on her memories of Ui, Touka, and Nemu and resolves to stop the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their plans and Alina demands Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem and body be brought to her. A weather report at the same time indicates the approach of Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana locates Iroha&#039;s cell, and she breaks Iroha out, but the act of breaking the cell door triggers an Uwasa, as the entire building is part of a Rumor. Sana defeats the Uwasa and as they flee, they are ambushed by Black Feathers. Kyoko Sakura, who was undergoing an orientation with the Feathers but decided against joining them, intervenes and helps defeat the attackers as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha explains the Magius&#039; goal is to summon Walpurgisnacht, and Kyoko reveals the Magius also plan to use Iroha, Mifuyu, and the Amane sisters as nourishment for &amp;quot;Eve,&amp;quot; the core of the system. Suddenly, Iroha collapses and stops breathing due to the distance from her Soul Gem. A Black Feather who pretended to be unconscious seizes Iroha&#039;s body and escapes with it, and Sana and Kyoko give chase.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team enters the Hotel Fendt Hope through the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth and they split into two teams: Yachiyo&#039;s group heads to the top floor to rescue Mifuyu and the Amane sisters, while Momoko&#039;s group searches for Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team finds Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa unconscious, their bodies separated from their Soul Gems. They quickly recover the Soul Gems, reviving the three, and Mifuyu confirms the Magius summoned Walpurgisnacht to provide energy to hatch Eve. Mifuyu and the Amane sisters renounce the Magius and join Yachiyo&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Iroha is transported by a Black Feather who reveals her motivation: her younger sister turned into a Witch, and she supports the Magius to prevent others from suffering the same fate. Momoko&#039;s team intercepts them and rescues Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko and Sana fight their way through the hotel and reunite with the main group. Momoko&#039;s team recovers a bag containing Iroha&#039;s, Mifuyu&#039;s, and the Amane sisters&#039; Soul Gems. A group of Feathers from the East confronts them but is persuaded by Kanagi to stand down, and they retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the teams reunited, the full coalition of Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, Kanagi, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Kyoko regroups. They possess all the stolen Soul Gems and are united in their goal to stop the Magius and confront Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team&#039;s path to the underground chapel is blocked and Mifuyu determines the magical building, a Rumor crafted by Nemu Hiiragi, has been reconfigured. Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa attempt to break the blockade, but a powerful magical wind erupts, separating the group. Mifuyu, the Amane sisters, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, and Kyoko are blown outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, Sana, Felicia, Tsuruno, and Kanagi remain inside and they defeat an Uwasa that attacks them. Mifuyu communicates from outside that they are locked out, and she devises a new plan: her group will gather other Kamihama Magical Girls to attack and destroy the Uwasa of Hotel Fendt Hope itself, which will collapse the building. She instructs Yachiyo&#039;s group to hurry to the underground chapel for safety before the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu&#039;s group fights off Witches released by Alina Gray as a defense measure. Mami, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka also arrive and assist them. After the battle, Mami convinces Mifuyu to address all the Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, and using the Amane sisters&#039; sound magic, Mifuyu broadcasts a telepathic message across Kamihama, revealing the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice civilians and summon Walpurgisnacht. She urges the Feathers to lay down their arms and prepare to fight the legendary Witch. Many Feathers also heed her call and defect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami then uses her magic to create a small opening in the building&#039;s barrier and enters Hotel Fendt Hope alone to rejoin Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kyoko is noted to be absent. Yachiyo&#039;s team searches for the entrance to the underground chapel and Mami reveals she concealed the entrance with her magic. She severs the ribbon hiding the path, officially breaking her ties with the Wings of the Magius and Mami then leaves to assist with the attack on the Uwasa of Fendt Hope outside. Kyoko meets Mami along the way and gives her a Grief Seed before they both exit the building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team then encounters false copies of Touka, Nemu, and Alina from the Mirror Witch&#039;s barrier; they realize the fakes speak differently and defeat them before continuing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, Mifuyu&#039;s group, now joined by Mami, Kyoko, and the Feathers who defected, attacks the Uwasa of Fendt Hope. Despite a coordinated assault, the Uwasa proves extremely resilient and withstands their combined power. The battle continues as the city-wide weather disaster escalates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team proceeds down a long staircase into a deep, dark underground area filled with strong magical impurities. Along the way, they are confronted by Mirror copies of themselves that voice their deepest insecurities, but each member overcomes their own doubts by relying on their friends. In the underground chapel, they find Alina, Nemu, and Touka waiting for them. At the back of the chapel, they see the massive, unhatched form of the Witch known as Embryo Eve. They reveal the full scope of their plan. They explain that Kyubey&#039;s true mission is to harvest the emotional energy of Magical Girls to counteract the universe&#039;s heat death. The cycle of hope and despair, culminating in a Magical Girl&#039;s transformation into a Witch, produces the necessary energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius intend to usurp this system. They plan to use the phase transition energy from Eve&#039;s transformation into a full Witch to create a permanent forcefield over Kamihama. This field would allow Magical Girls to release their impurities as Doppels instead of becoming Witches, and the energy would be fed back to the universe, making Kyubey and new Magical Girl contracts obsolete. The imminent arrival of Walpurgisnacht is a key part of their plan, as its destruction by Eve will provide the massive energy required.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Despite understanding the plan, Iroha and her team refuse to accept the Magius&#039; methods or their control over the future. The Magius argue that without their plan, Walpurgisnacht will destroy the city regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 2.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, the battle against the Uwasa of Fendt Hope continues. Realizing they are losing, Mifuyu uses a dangerous self-illusion to unleash all her magic at once in a final attack. She destroys the Uwasa but becomes incapacitated in the process as her Soul Gem starts breaking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the chapel, the destruction of the Uwasa causes Fendt Hope&#039;s Labyrinth to collapse, and the chapel is exposed to the outside as the building disappears. After the collapse of Hotel Fendt Hope, the teams reunite in the forest as the Labyrinth vanishes. Yachiyo learns that Mifuyu was severely injured destroying the Uwasa and was taken to Mitama for treatment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius appear with Embryo Eve, now freed from the chapel, and they prepare to fully release Eve so it can devour the approaching Walpurgisnacht. A battle ensues as the teams try to stop them and Iroha and Sana break through the defensive line of Familiars to attack Eve directly. Iroha&#039;s attack on Eve fails and Eve captures Iroha but does not harm her. A bright light emanates from Iroha, allowing Sana to rescue her. Sana reveals she possesses a branch from the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, which was not in bloom when she received it. The branch suddenly blossoms after Iroha touches Eve and Iroha realizes that Embryo Eve is her missing sister, Ui Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana confront Embryo Eve on Takayama Mountain and Iroha believes Eve is her sister, Ui Tamaki, but Eve breaks free from the mountain and begins to move toward Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream|Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama City, Walpurgisnacht approaches from the sea, accompanied by a massive horde of Familiars that begin to swarm the city. Magical Girl teams led by Hinano Miyako and Nanaka Tokiwa engage the Familiars along the coast to prevent widespread destruction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the ruins of Hotel Fendt Hope, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo bring the injured Mifuyu to Mitama Yakumo for emergency aid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Takayama Mountain, Iroha pleads with the combined Magical Girl forces not to kill Eve, revealing her belief that it is Ui. The Magius leaders and Alina retreat. Eve leaps into the sky, heading for Sankyo Ward in Kamihama. Yachiyo Nanami&#039;s team prepares to pursue Eve, while Madoka Kaname&#039;s group from Mitakihara heads to the coast to help defend against Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Magius headquarters, Touka and Nemu dismiss Iroha&#039;s claims about Ui, despite Nemu&#039;s private suspicions. Alina expresses interest in Iroha&#039;s memories but remains focused on Eve&#039;s hatching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Eve&#039;s arrival in Sankyo Ward, Mitama informs Iroha and the team that Ui&#039;s true body and Soul Gem are contained within Embryo Eve, which is a &amp;quot;Half-Witch.&amp;quot; To save Ui, they must defeat Eve&#039;s manifested form without destroying the Soul Gem and Mitama identifies a large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest as the core that maintains its form and its weak point. Mitama also treats the comatose Mifuyu, whose Soul Gem is critically cracked from overuse. Mitama stabilizes it but cannot fully heal her, and Tsukuyo and Tsukasa decide to rejoin the fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Eve rampages through Sankyo Ward, the combined Magical Girl teams attack Eve but find their assaults completely ineffective. Mitama, the Amane sisters, and other groups like Hinano Miyako&#039;s team regroup and they decide to consolidate their forces: one group will focus on defeating Eve, while the other prepares for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s landfall.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia readies her hammer and strikes Eve on the head with a magic‑powered blow, using her memory‑obliterating ability to confuse Eve and halt its advance; in the aftermath of the strike, a strange glow is visible near Eve&#039;s belly. Meanwhile, the Amane sisters relay the critical intelligence about Eve&#039;s red jewel weak point to Yachiyo&#039;s team. Eve begins to move toward Chuo Ward, and Sana proposes a plan to immobilize Eve so the team can target its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, the combined forces of Yachiyo&#039;s team, the Amane sisters, and other White Feathers execute a plan to immobilize Embryo Eve. They use chains from Sana&#039;s shield, spears, and plants to bind Eve to a large building and Iroha successfully strikes the large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest, its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eve retaliates by absorbing a massive vortex of impurities its Familiars had collected, causing its body to mutate and merge with the jewel. Iroha then sees a vision of Ui trapped within the core, reaffirming her resolve to save her, but the Magius arrive to protect Eve and ensure it consumes Walpurgisnacht. Iroha declares her intent to enter the gem to save Ui directly, and despite being severely injured, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia hold off the Magius, creating an opening for Iroha to advance toward Eve&#039;s core.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:10-19.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha reaches Ui&#039;s body but cannot shatter the gem surrounding it completely. Touka arrives at her side, and questions her motives. Iroha declares Ui is her sister and a precious friend to Touka and Nemu, and as Iroha reaches for Ui, the Embryo Eve attacks and Lil&#039; Kyubey intervenes and blocks the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu experience a flood of memories, recalling the original events. She remembers seeing Iroha with Kyubey in a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, learning about Magical Girls, and devising a plan with Ui and Nemu to usurp Kyubey&#039;s powers to create an automatic purification system and save all Magical Girls. Their plan failed when Ui&#039;s &amp;quot;harvest&amp;quot; ability went haywire upon her transformation, forcing Nemu to sever Ui&#039;s soul from her body and store it within the de-powered, small Kyubey to prevent her from becoming a Witch. This act erased Ui from the world&#039;s memory, as well as any traces of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Regaining their memories, Touka uses her stored energy to destabilize the Embryo Eve and Nemu uses her stories to restrain it. Iroha shatters Eve&#039;s central gem, and the small Kyubey releases Ui&#039;s soul. Ui awakens and reassures Touka and Nemu that she does not blame them for their shared decision. The Embryo Eve, now soulless, begins to decay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined Magical Girl forces, including Mami, Kyoko, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura, continue their battle against Walpurgisnacht in Chuo Ward. Despite their numbers, the Witch proves immensely powerful and resilient.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102304 mikage desire.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, a massive explosion of light and energy erupts from the location of the decaying Embryo Eve. The Eve has transformed into a new, stable form, and Touka deduces that Alina, who had previously shrunk the anti-Kyubey forcefield to contain the city&#039;s energy, has now wrapped that forcefield tightly around Eve. This action stabilized Eve&#039;s energy and prevented its decay, allowing Alina to control it as a tool for her art. Alina appears, now fused with an Uwasa in a manner similar to [[Holy Mami]], and declares her intent to use Eve to create her ultimate masterpiece, disregarding the goal of Magical Girl liberation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, as this is taking place, [[Mikage Yakumo]], Mitama&#039;s younger sister, is approached by Kyubey when the Barrier disappears. After he explains Mitama&#039;s wish to her, Mikage makes a wish of her own to undo the effects of Mitama&#039;s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 2: Smiles and Fireworks|Arc 2, Chapter 2]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Holy Alina]] asserts that humanity subconsciously desires destruction and that she will use the Embryo Eve to fulfill this wish as her ultimate artwork. Kanagi confronts her own past desire to destroy the city due to its history of conflict but ultimately rejects Alina&#039;s path as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 nemu uwasa.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu, as the creator of Alina&#039;s Uwasa, takes responsibility. She uses the last of her life force to summon every Uwasa recorded in her book to attack Alina directly. The attack defeats Alina, making her disappear, but Nemu collapses, severely weakened and unable to move her legs, so White Feathers evacuate her to safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 eve user1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Embryo Eve, now uncontrolled, begins to rampage and targets Ui, attempting to reabsorb her. Lil&#039; Kyubey implies a solution: it will take Ui&#039;s place within Eve. Touka realizes that the small Kyubey, which contains Ui&#039;s former soul and Kyubey&#039;s original functions, possesses similar attributes to Eve. It is also incapable of becoming a Witch. Lil&#039; Kyubey merges with the Embryo Eve, causing it to release all orbs of light from its body, lading in different parts of Kamihama. The small Kyubey thus becomes the core of the &amp;quot;Automatic Purification System&amp;quot; that Touka, Ui, and Nemu originally envisioned, preventing Magical Girls from becoming Witches within Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival, the combined forces of Magical Girls, including the various teams from Kamihama and the team from Mitakihara, are on the verge of defeat. Homura and the others exhaust their weapons and energy in a desperate attempt to defeat it. They are exhausted, out of Grief Seeds, many are incapacitated, and despite their injuries and depleted resources, the girls refuse to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Last Magia|The Last Magia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Walpurgisnacht prepares a massive attack that seems certain to annihilate them, an unknown, benevolent force envelops the Magical Girls. Iroha hears a mysterious voice and sees white feathers raining down, an experience shared by everyone on the battlefield. They all experience a sudden surge of energy and a feeling of being urged forward. This voice is from the Law of Cycles, who had been watching the timeline but not interfering with it. The feathers rejuvenate the group, lifting their spirits and empowering them to continue fighting; their strength is restored, and even the injured find themselves able to fight again. With morale returned, they rally together for one final, united assault, redirecting Walpurgisnacht to Kaihin Park using a coordinated strategy with their unique magical abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined forces of Magical Girls coordinate their unique magics to combat Walpurgisnacht: &lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Natsuki Utsuho initiate the counterattack by using their Encouragement and Cheering magic to boost the morale and power of all allies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seizing this surge of energy, the team implements a complex strategy to control the battlefield. First, Felicia, Meiyui Chun, and Rika Ayano use their Memory Erasure, Persuasion, and Mind-Altering magic to disorient Walpurgisnacht and force it to change course toward the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** To precisely guide the Witch to the intended battleground, Tsuruno, Riko Chiaki, and Emiri Kisaki then use their Good Luck, Luring, and Charm magic, successfully leading Walpurgisnacht to the beachfront park while evading its attacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Once there, the focus shifts to immobilizing the colossal foe. Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Asuka Tatsuki use their Flute Blossom Resonance and Action Control magic in an attempt to halt Walpurgisnacht&#039;s movement entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When it retaliates, Himika Mao diverts its attacks, creating an opening for Kanagi Izumi, who, with a power boost from Mitama&#039;s Coordination, attacks it directly to stun it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** This creates the crucial opening for a full restraint, and Mami, Kanoko Yayoi, and Kaede use Ribbon Binding, Stitching, and Plant magic to ensnare the Witch, which Rena amplified by using her Transformation magic to transform into Kaede and double the restraining power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Walpurgisnacht finally immobilized, Nanaka organizes their forces while Hazuki Yusa and Akira Shinobu identify its weak point with their magic, a gear connected to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire group then launch a coordinated, all-out assault, with offensive magics like Hinano Miyako&#039;s Chemical Explosions leading the charge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout the final attack, Kokoro Awane, Ayame Mikuri, and Konoha Shizumi provide vital defense with their Wall Creation, Safeguarding, and Fog Generation magic, protecting the assault team and ensuring their united strike could land.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Realizing their combined assault was not enough to deliver a final blow, the Magical Girls regroup and to ensure they could act as one perfect unit, Reira Ibuki uses her Purifying Flame to heal their wounds and replenish their energy, while Mito Aino uses her Heart-Linking magic to synchronize their hearts and minds, allowing their resolve to become perfectly aligned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With their spirits united, they form a new strategy and Konomi Haruna uses her magic to force their Fighting Spirit to Bloom, amplifying their collective potential, while Kako Natsume uses her Event Reproduction magic to reinforce the gathered energy, and Ren Isuzu enacts her Nirvana magic to ensure the attack would bring permanent rest to the Witch if successful.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The plan to create a final weapon then commences. Ui uses her Harvest magic to gather the hope and magical energy from every single Magical Girl on the battlefield. She passes this immense energy to Touka, who used her Conversion magic to condense it all into a single, concentrated mass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* This mass of collective hope is then entrusted to Yachiyo, whose unique magic of Inheritance allows her to embody and control the power. She and Iroha shape this energy into a gigantic, radiant arrow aimed at the weak point that had been identified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they prepared to fire, Walpurgisnacht launches an attack to free itself from their binds. In that moment, Homura activates her Time-Stop, and touches Iroha, allowing her to move within the suspended time and take aim unimpeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the path clear, Iroha releases the arrow and strikes the central gear with overwhelming force. As time resumed, the arrow consumed Walpurgisnacht in a brilliant explosion, finally ending the calamity and clearing the sky over Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102005 magicalgirl3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura reflects that she has finally surpassed this battle after countless timelines, and Madoka expresses relief that no more people will suffer from Walpurgisnacht. The girls in Kamihama also celebrate their hard-earned victory, despite the fact that many are injured and exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Epilogue==&lt;br /&gt;
* Some days after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, Iroha and Ui see their parents off at the airport as they leave for their overseas assignment. Iroha and Ui then return to Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama City, where Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana welcome them back. Mifuyu is also present, as Iroha was able to use her magic to repair Mifuyu&#039;s damaged Soul Gem, allowing her to recover. Later that day, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Kanagi, and Mitama visit Mikazuki Villa as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, [[Ultimate Madoka]], a being who identifies as a record-keeper of all universes reflects on the new timeline centered on Kamihama. She states she intervened one last time by sending a &amp;quot;rain of feathers&amp;quot; to empower the Magical Girls but will now only observe, fearing further direct interference could damage this fragile new reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu organize a meeting for all Magical Girls involved in the recent conflict to discuss the actions of the Wings of the Magius and the future fate of all Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu visit the Eternal Sakura. The Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura congratulates them on finally being together as friends and Nemu, who now uses a wheelchair, accepts her condition as a consequence of her past actions. Iroha briefly wonders about the whereabouts of the small Kyubey that once accompanied her, and then meet Lil&#039; Kyubey in the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After some days, Homura reflects on their victory. Despite saving Madoka and defeating Walpurgisnacht, she feels uncertain. The fundamental curse of Magical Girls becoming Witches remains, and she questions if this timeline is truly the best outcome. At school, Mami informs the group about recent disappearances and people getting lost, which they attribute to a new Witch. They devise a plan to track it by mapping the incidents. Kyoko arrives from Kazamino, also hunting the same Witch, and a tense alliance forms.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 10: The Place We Finally Reached|Another Story Chapter 10: The Place We Finally Reached]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group splits into teams to search the area Mami identified. Madoka notices Homura&#039;s preoccupation and reassures her. The teams locate the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and coordinate their attack. During the battle, Homura fears for her friends&#039; safety, but they work together effectively. Kyoko and Sayaka create an opening for Mami and Madoka to deliver the final blow, while Homura evacuates the Witch-Kissed civilians.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Kyoko gives the Grief Seed to Mami and Sayaka declares she has no regrets about becoming a Magical Girl, valuing the power to protect and the friends she has made. This prompts Mami to reconcile with Kyoko, asking to be true friends who help each other when needed again, to which Kyoko agrees. Madoka then states she is also glad she became a Magical Girl, expressing faith in the future because of her friends. This resolve causes Homura to weep with joy, finally believing this timeline, where they face their fate together, could be the one she sought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group, including Kyoko, shares a meal at a pancake restaurant. They discuss an upcoming meeting in Kamihama to address the Magius&#039; actions. While Kyoko opts not to attend, the others plan to update her later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 04 00 0042 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One Saturday, Mami volunteers to help clean the damage done by the Magius incident and Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura go along as well. During it, a Witch attacks and a Magical Girl they were helping unleashes a Doppel. They defeat the Witch and the girl falls unconscious, so Mami takes her to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale|Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After stabilizing her, Mami asks Mitama to help her face her own Doppel and she guides Mami to look within. Mami meets her Doppel and it tries to convince her to forget the past, yet Mami refuses and proclaims that she accepts the Doppel as part of herself. Mami then wakes up, thanking everyone and says they will build the future together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cherry Blossom Dreams===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, the Eternal Sakura completed her duties as an Uwasa when her tree came into full bloom. Her Rumor was rewritten and she was connected to Touka&#039;s server, reborn as an Uwasa with ample knowledge who would later be named Sakurako. Around this time, Yachiyo received a message asking what should be done about the six ringleaders of the Magius—Touka Satomi, Nemu Hiiragi, Mifuyu Azusa, Mitama Yakumo, Tsukuyo Amane, and Tsukasa Amane. Nemu proposed rewriting the Eternal Sakura to serve as an impartial judge. They designed three trials: the first to analyze crimes and calculate a verdict, the second to survey all Magical Girls, and the third to reach a final decision based on responses. Punishments ranged from monitoring to destruction of the Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams|Cherry Blossom Dreams]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the first trial, Sakurako sentenced Touka and Nemu to the maximum penalty. Mifuyu received power revocation, reduced from maximum due to testimony that she helped destroy Fendt Hope. Mitama received conditional power revocation, allowed to transform only for Coordinator work. The Amane sisters received power restriction. After the trial, Touka and Nemu remained calm, thanking everyone. Yachiyo noted they had intentionally omitted their ages from consideration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Nemu and Sakurako wait at a train station with others. Nearby girls whisper about Nemu, recognizing her as one of the Magius and questioning why she faces no punishment. Ui argues with Iroha about using the Stardust Time Viewer, while Touka pushes through the crowd, disheveled from navigating the train alone. The three girls reunite, each feeling it is a dream. Touka sends Ui a photo of the map they created together in the hospital. The group travels to the mall, where Ui finally visits the croquette shop she always wanted to try, and they share plates to taste each other&#039;s orders. From there, they take a rickshaw to Mizuna Shrine, where they briefly encounter Tsukuyo and Tsukasa, who quickly hurry away. The group buys prayer plaques, though most hesitate at the cost until a shrine attendant suggests writing prayers on the back of their fortunes instead. Iroha wishes for all Magical Girls to get along, while Touka and Nemu write their own wishes. They argue over where to go next—Touka wants a lookout point in Hokuyo Ward, but Ui resists rushing. Sakurako suggests they also face reality, so they head to Central Ward, still scarred from Walpurgisnacht and Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui admits she used the library as an excuse to bring them here, hoping the Stardust Time Viewer would show them a hopeful future. Nemu summons the Rumor, transporting them to a star-filled space. The Viewer shows Iroha&#039;s future: a world where the Doppel system has expanded globally and all Magical Girls coexist peacefully. Iroha feels embarrassed, but Sakurako assures her the wish is beautiful. When Ui asks to see her own future, the Viewer has nothing to show. Ui realizes this means Touka and Nemu are absent from Iroha&#039;s future and accuses them of planning to die. The vision fades, returning them to the rubble of Central Ward. Touka and Nemu admit they believe they should die for their crimes, pointing to the destruction around them, the Feathers they manipulated, and the innocent people hurt. Sakurako confirms she knew this all along. Ui slaps them both, demanding they consider how she feels. Nemu explains they wanted to do what they could while they still had time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second trial begins. No surveys have arrived. Sakurako agrees to wait one hour. Yachiyo and others leave to retrieve them. Mifuyu confronts Touka and Nemu, asking if they sabotaged the surveys. They admit they did, altering the date so the surveys would not arrive in time. They wanted to be judged and sentenced to death to spare Ui from the hatred directed at them. Ui refuses to accept this. She and Iroha transform to protect them. The hour ends and Sakurako moves to deliver punishment. Iroha and Ui hold her back as Mifuyu and Mitama join the defense. The Amane sisters attack Sakurako with their flutes, accepting heavier sentences. Iroha realizes they can use photos of the surveys as evidence. Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s phones begin chiming with images from Yachiyo and the others. Iroha begs Sakurako to accept the evidence. Sakurako confirms the surveys are real and delays the trial, requiring them to arrive by day&#039;s end. The surveys show Magical Girls believe Touka and Nemu should be punished, but not killed. Some suggest atonement, rehabilitation, or mentorship. Reading the responses, Touka and Nemu weep, but Ui weeps with joy. Based on the surveys, sentences are reduced. Touka and Nemu receive monitoring with transformation-prevention bracelets, while Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s sentences are reduced to monitoring. The Amane sisters are found not guilty and Feathers who revealed themselves have their cases dismissed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the group gathers. Touka and Nemu wear their bracelets. Sakurako serves drinks. Mifuyu asks about tutoring Touka in exchange for help with pharmacy school. Nemu will rely on Sakurako for mobility on difficult days. Tsuruno suggests welcoming them as the Brains of Kamihama. In the kitchen, Sakurako hugs Touka and Nemu, then Iroha and Ui. She tells them she loves them. The days she always dreamed of have arrived. The real spring can finally begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocolatier in Mirror Country===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro, Masara, Konomi, Asuka and Sasara gather at Manaka&#039;s place to plan their charity bazaar booth. Kokoro and Masara participate to help Himika&#039;s family without making it obvious, while Asuka and Sasara join to invite a lonely girl named Chi whose father died. Konomi&#039;s booth was invited directly due to her popular Valentine&#039;s bouquets. They agree on a collaboration between Walnuts and Blossom the florist, dividing tasks among themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Warming Valentine ~Until your thoughts reach you~|Warming Valentine ~Until your thoughts reach you~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Manaka&#039;s father&#039;s help, Kokoro and Masara make bear-shaped chocolates. Asuka recruits dojo volunteers, Sasara invites Chi and designs leaflets, and Konomi prepares bouquets with Izayoi&#039;s help decorating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the bazaar, adults receive bouquets with donation and children get free chocolates. Chi and her mother visit happily. Himika initially refuses chocolate but accepts after realizing her siblings want it, and they enjoy the day together. The event succeeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later at a celebration party, Sasara and Kokoro feel their efforts changed nothing. Masara scolds them for impatience, explaining kindness takes time. Kanagi and Asuka arrive with good news that Himika&#039;s family is making White Day gifts, and Chi&#039;s mother now calls daily. Relieved, they enjoy the party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Valentine&#039;s Day, girls give chocolates to loved ones. Sasara gives to her father, Asuka to her cousin, and Konomi to her aunt. Masara and Kokoro exchange chocolates at their favorite spot, and Kokoro tearfully reconciles with her parents. Elsewhere, Rena and Tsukuyo each struggle to give chocolates to Kaede and Tsukasa. Following a rumor, they separately pray at a radio tower, accidentally encounter each other, and successfully give their chocolates when Kaede and Tsukasa also arrive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, in Mitakihara, Nagisa bakes a chocolate cake with Mami while feeling that something is wrong, as her memories feel hazy and she seems more childish than she should be. She realizes her memories of being longtime friends with Mami are false, yet she recognizes that the warmth she feels is what she has always wanted. When they finish the cake, a Witch that looks like a younger version of Nagisa steals it, and they chase it into a mirror, finding themselves in a transformed version of the Mirror Witch&#039;s Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Chocolatier in Mirror Country|Chocolatier in Mirror Country / The Mirror World Chocolatier]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They encounter Madoka and Homura trapped in a time loop illusion, free them, and learn that Sayaka and Kyoko went ahead and are now missing. They find Sayaka and Kyoko trapped in a competition for a magical cake, so Mami and Nagisa enter and win by choosing a song they both know well. Using the cake&#039;s wishes, they reunite the group and defeat the attacking Witch. Nagisa realizes she has two sets of memories and deduces the chocolate-loving Witch is an alternate version of herself who wished for chocolate cake instead of cheesecake. This Witch has been consuming the Labyrinth&#039;s power and attracting Witches from parallel worlds through mirror gates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The little Witch steals the cake again, and during the chase, Nagisa and Mami become separated in a dark fog. A poem warns them not to open their eyes or they will lose each other, but Nagisa&#039;s self-doubt overwhelms her. Remembering losing her mother and everyone else, she convinces herself Mami is not really there, opens her eyes, and is consumed by the Witch. The group fights through countless gates to find her and engages the master Witch. Inside, Mami finds Nagisa, hugs her tightly, and promises they will always be friends because of the future they will share, not false memories. Nagisa finally believes her, and the cake is returned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group realizes that even with the master Witch defeated, other Witches have taken its place, so they must clear them all to restore the Labyrinth. They commit to finishing the job together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Labyrinth is cleared, they gather at Mami&#039;s apartment for a chocolate party where Nagisa officially gives Mami the cake. They play poker with chocolate coins to decide how to share the remaining half, and Mami wins, but she divides the cake equally among all six. Everyone agrees it is the best cake in the universe. Nagisa thanks Mami, and Mami welcomes her warmly, calling her a little chocolatier and a lovely new addition to their circle of friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Kamihama, that night, Tsukuyo finds Rena praying at the Chuo Ward radio tower, having both read an online article claiming that twenty minutes of prayer there ensures successful apologies to loved ones. Tsukuyo confesses she hurt her twin sister Tsukasa by rejecting their Valentine&#039;s plans after failing at homemade chocolate, while Rena admits she snapped at Kaede and claimed she had no chocolate for her after Kaede had given her some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The 14th Day Where I Can&#039;t Be Honest|The 14th Day Where I Can&#039;t Be Honest]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their conversation is interrupted when Tsukasa and Kaede suddenly appear, having anticipated their partners would come here to apologize. Tsukasa assures Tsukuyo she was not upset and would treasure any chocolate from her, urging her to be easier on herself. Kaede forgives Rena and asks simply for her to be more honest. Together, the two pairs exchange Valentine&#039;s wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany===&lt;br /&gt;
* Walpurgisnacht&#039;s attack on Kamihama City caused massive damage to Chuo Ward, which the public believes was a natural disaster. Only Magical Girls know the truth and privately, Mitama reflects that the victory gave her hope, but she wonders if the destruction she once wished for can be defied.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany|The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Several days after Walpurgisnacht, Mitama realizes Doyle has not visited her shop and the last saw him the day before Walpurgisnacht. She assumes the storm made him too scared to go out, so she decides to close her shop and search for him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama looks around the vacant land near her shop and a girl named Ritsumi offers to help. Ritsumi’s cat Arthur ran away before, so she knows where cats hide. They search but find nothing and Ritsumi says Arthur now lives with her grandpa. Mitama realizes Ritsumi is the daughter of the neighbor who owns Arthur and Mitama had mistaken Arthur for Doyle and that Ritsumi has never actually seen Doyle. They end the day without clues and Mitama sends a message to the Magical Girls’ group chat asking if anyone has seen a white tabby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama knocks on the neighbor’s door and Ritsumi’s mother answers. She explains that Arthur was sent away two weeks ago to Ritsumi’s grandpa. Mitama realizes that no one knows where Doyle came from. Ritsumi’s mother promises to keep an eye out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana, Asuka, and others from Mizuna Girls’ Academy saw Mitama’s group chat post and they arrive to help. More volunteers soon arrive: Kaede, Kako, Rena, Konoha’s team, and others. They split up to cover Shinsei Ward and Mitama notes that no one else has ever seen Doyle. Konoha says she never saw a cat at Mitama’s shop. Rena also asks for a photo, but Mitama has none.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds Ritsumi near the bus stop and they search door to door. No one in the neighborhood has seen a white tabby kitten either. Ritsumi says she has read all “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” books and that her favorite is “Invisible Epiphany,” about a detective searching for a lost child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko meets Mitama alone. Momoko says she never saw Doyle and neither did Tsukasa or the other girls. Mitama remembers talking to Doyle in front of them, but they saw no cat ither. Momoko suggests a Rumor is involved, as all Rumors disappeared after the fight with the Magius, except the Eternal Sakura. Coincidentally, Doyle disappeared at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls Nemu, who is still in the hospital and Nemu explains that Doyle was part of the Rumor of the Cat Detective. The Rumor possesses detective novel lovers, detects signs of a case, gets the detective involved, and guarantees a solution. Nemu explains she erased almost all Rumors, including this one. Mitama thinks Doyle disappeared because the Rumor was destroyed and she had solved four cases with Doyle’s help, yet the fifth never began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama re-reads her case files and each one has an opening paragraph she does not remember writing. The first case file hints at Hanna Sarasa. The second hints at Tsukasa. The third and fourth also name the culprits. Mitama realizes Doyle left those hints, and Nemu says the Rumor did not cause incidents, only detected them, so those incidents would have happened anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0009 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Kamihama slowly returns to order. Mitama notes that she cannot rely on Doyle anymore and she hopes she does not get any new cases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui and the Eternal Sakura visit Mitama to deliver a lampshade from Yachiyo. Ui says a girl from her school has gone missing and Mitama is shocked to learn the girl is Ritsumi, who did not come home after school yesterday and the police are investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama goes to the bus stop near her shop and finds Ritsumi’s mother. The mother says Ritsumi likely went to Hokuyo Ward to see her grandpa and Arthur. Ritsumi’s parents are separated and her father lives with his parents in Hokuyo Ward. The mother believes Ritsumi wanted to visit them, but the bus route to Hokuyo was suspended after the disaster but has resumed, bypassing Chuo Ward. Soon, Himika calls Mitama. Himika saw a girl matching Ritsumi’s description waiting at the Shinsei Ward bus stop yesterday, reading a book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi arrive and Momoko explains she has been investigating at school. Ritsumi transferred to Kamihama University Affiliated School six months ago after her parents separated and she moved into the building next to Mitama’s shop. Momoko explains Arthur went to live with her father in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo Ward. Mitama realizes the conflicting information: Arthur was first in Chuo Ward, then evacuated to the grandpa’s house in Hokuyo after the disaster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Satomi Medical Center, Nemu discusses the case with Eternal Sakura. Nemu recalls the hidden hints in Mitama’s case files. The last words of each hint spell “Lost Through Time Eternal,” which is the title of volume 12 of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” In that story, a girl runs away to her old home. Nemu deduces that Ritsumi went to her old apartment in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo. She likely got off at the nearest bus stop and walked into the restricted zone, then she had an accident.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Momoko, and Kanagi search the area near the old apartment and they hear a voice. Ritsumi had fallen into an old underground passage and sprained her ankle. She lost track of time and had no phone. Mitama explains she remembered the Doyle book and Ritsumi admits she was copying the girl in the story as she wanted to see the area where she grew up. The three quickly rescue her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ritsumi is taken to a hospital and also discharged quickly. Her parents agree to let her visit both of them and Arthur whenever she likes. Mitama reflects that Doyle gave her confidence and the city she cursed is still standing, so she dares to believe in hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Momoko finally holds the Coordinator Thank-You Party that was postponed earlier and Rena and Kaede thank Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui reads &amp;quot;The Happy Prince&amp;quot; and reflects on her uncertain purpose as a Magical Girl. While walking, she stops Kyubey from contracting a girl outside Kamihama, explaining she cannot let anyone else suffer the fate of becoming a Witch. When Kyubey asks what he should do instead, she has no answer. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia tells Ui she is overthinking things and should focus on her upcoming combat test. Iroha and Yachiyo serve dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight|A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno gives Ui an enthusiastic pep talk for her live combat test. To remain in Kamihama, Ui must detect and eliminate a Witch alone—the same test Yachiyo gave Iroha when she first arrived. Yachiyo admits the test may be unfair and offers to let Ui choose a partner. With Iroha busy helping Kanagi, Ui chooses Momoko. They depart together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui struggles to sense the Witch&#039;s magic, so they search Mizuna Ward where young women gather. They encounter a Familiar and follow it to a Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After defeating it, Felicia suddenly appears, attacks them, and runs away. Tsuruno gives chase and tackles her. Felicia&#039;s oblivion magic has erased their memory of the Familiar&#039;s pattern, so they cannot track the Witch. Momoko requests a pause, but Yachiyo refuses, stating unexpected events happen in real combat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia admits she interfered because she is jealous that Ui receives everyone&#039;s attention while she struggled alone as a mercenary. Yachiyo explains that Felicia&#039;s past does not justify making others unhappy. Meanwhile, Ui cheers up after eating crepes with Momoko and resolves to continue. As sunset approaches, they search Sakae Ward but find nothing. Yachiyo offers to bring a Familiar for them to retrack, but it disappears before they arrive. Ui suggests checking Hokuyo Ward on a hunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Hokuyo Ward, Ui senses a different Witch&#039;s magical reaction. They follow Witch-kissed people up a mountain toward a labyrinth. At Yachiyo&#039;s house, the others realize Ui failed the test since Yachiyo had to eliminate the original Witch herself, though Yachiyo will allow a retake. They notice Felicia smiling and suspect she interfered again. Rena confesses she helped Felicia erase the hint because she understood Felicia&#039;s jealousy. Tsuruno says the only person who deserves an apology is Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the mountain, Ui and Momoko enter the Witch&#039;s barrier against Momoko&#039;s better judgment. They fight through Familiars but become trapped and cannot escape. The Witch overwhelms them. Yachiyo and the others arrive and join the fight, but Familiars overwhelm them too. Iroha arrives at the last moment to defend Ui. Ui proposes using her ability to harvest impurities, purifying everyone&#039;s Soul Gems so they can fight at full strength. She will temporarily become a Witch, but the Doppel system will contain it. She absorbs the impurities, and the others destroy the Witch while Ui struggles with the darkness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui unleashes her Doppel and meets her Doppel self, who accuses her of wanting punishment and being jealous of others while trapped in the hospital. Ui nearly agrees to let the Doppel consume her but refuses, recognizing it as the easy way out. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words about taking responsibility and confronting the situation honestly. She accepts her wrongs and her true feelings, realizing this difficult path will bring true happiness. The Doppel admits she is right. Iroha wakes Ui at Mitama&#039;s clinic, where she has been unconscious for some time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama checks on Ui after her first Doppel release. Felicia apologizes for her interference and says she thinks Ui is cool. Rena also apologizes for helping Felicia. Ui accepts their apologies and compliments them both, asking Felicia to teach her things. Rena and Felicia feel terrible for how they treated someone so kind. Later that evening at Yachiyo&#039;s house, everyone celebrates Ui passing her test—though she did not defeat the assigned Witch, she tracked a Witch, stayed calm, used her intelligence, and performed better than expected. Ui tells Iroha she now knows what she wants to do as a Magical Girl. Iroha decides to work with other Kamihama Magical Girls to find a way to free them all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui and Iroha encounter Kyubey outside Kamihama attempting another contract and stop him. Kyubey asks what their goal is. They explain they plan to fight and find a way to coexist with Kyubey—if they can expand Kamihama&#039;s miracle globally, Magical Girls can live happily while providing the energy Kyubey needs. Kyubey welcomes the idea if it avoids conflict but warns that Magical Girls worldwide are not as unified as those in Kamihama. Ui wonders how much happiness she can give to the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tart / Darc Magica===&lt;br /&gt;
* Through Minou&#039;s spell from 15th-century France, Ui is pulled into the past, with her phone acting as her Soul Gem and Blank Prophecy, with the power to restore the past&#039;s real history.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rebel of a Dawnless Land|Rebel of a Dawnless Land]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning from the past, Ui finds herself in an antique store, still surrounded by magic bubbles though no memory of what occured. On the floor are the two candles and the old book. She feels they are important but cannot remember why, so she puts them on store shelves before falling asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui wakes up at Mikazuki Villa. Her phone rings with a text of Nemu asking if she knows any charms, as Mitama has been really into them lately. Ui says she knows a charm for good dreams requiring red and blue candles. Nemu asks where she heard about it and Ui isn&#039;t sure but says it was in 15th-century France. Nemu is fascinated and promises to research it. Later, Ui scrolls through her phone and finds a photo she doesn&#039;t recognize with girls she doesn&#039;t know. She begins crying without understanding why and Iroha finds her and hugs her tightly. Suddenly Ui remembers Darc&#039;s final words. She turns to her sister and tells her, &amp;quot;Let&#039;s have a wonderful future together.&amp;quot; Iroha agrees. Ui calms down and heads home to prepare for a slumber party with Nemu and Touka. Iroha, running errands, decides to stop by Mitama&#039;s place afterward. Mitama greets her warmly, mentioning she just learned an interesting little charm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That day, Iroha visits Mitama, who gives her and Yachiyo antique candles for a sweet dream spell. That night, they light the candles and drift off to sleep together, where they&#039;re pulled into the nightmare of Jeanne d&#039;Arc in April 29th, 1429.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Maiden of Hope|The Maiden of Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next morning, Yachiyo reveals she had the same dream. They call Mitama, who is surprised they had nightmares instead of sweet dreams. They decide to try the candles again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Kamihama plunged into darkness and all non-Magical Girls vanished. Their Soul Gems have consumed magic in the real world despite no injuries. Realizing the dream affects reality, they decide to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a lot of fighting, they awaken and prepare for the final battle. In this journey they discover that they&#039;d been traveling to Darc&#039;s dream, and if Darc despairs completely, she will turn into a Witch and trigger a catastrophe affecting the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Felicia and Sana gone and Kamihama empty. Breaking into Mitama&#039;s shop, they find a grimoire revealing the candles were made with Darc&#039;s hair, creating a connection to her dream. They return with the book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They finally awaken at Mikazuki Villa to sunshine and normalcy. Felicia demands steak for dinner. Consulting a history book, they read that on May 7th, 1429, Jeanne d&#039;Arc fought at Tourelles after waking from a dream. The battle was fierce but Orléans was liberated. Iroha notices a portrait in the book showing them in their Magical Girl outfits standing beside Jeanne d&#039;Arc.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at Mitama&#039;s shop, Yachiyo recounts everything. Mitama mentions the spell became widespread in France during Jeanne d&#039;Arc&#039;s era. Iroha realizes Melissa must have spread it after learning it from them in the dream. The use of red and blue candles was too specific to be coincidence. Iroha&#039;s head spins trying to figure out where the spell originated. Yachiyo notes the grimoire never mentioned the candle setup, so the spell just circled around and around. They will never know for certain whether they changed history or were always part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* During their slumber party, Ui, Touka, and Nemu encounter a massive witch, [[Crépuscule de La Reine]]. Touka and Nemu vanish, leaving Ui and Sakurako to face it alone. The witch is unaffected by their attacks and disappears, taking Ui with it into 15th-century France once more, this time in the realm of Purgatory which Minou created. With Pernelle&#039;s help, Ui is soon able to also summon Iroha and Yachiyo there as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;endofalegendthelimitsoflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - End of a Legend, the Limits of Light|End of a Legend, the Limits of Light]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha, Yachiyo, Ui, and Sakurako pass through the gates and return to their future, reuniting with Touka and Nemu as their memories fade.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;endofalegendthelimitsoflight&#039;/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Lil&#039; Kyubey and Ui&#039;s phone as the Blank Prophecy are pulled as &amp;quot;If Factors&amp;quot; into the world of Holy Maiden Academy, which Minou created and maintained for six hundred years after being given a Philosopher&#039;s Stone after Isabeau&#039;s death. However, after her plans are thwarted by the &amp;quot;what if&amp;quot; version of Melissa, he returns and wakes in the real world, where Iroha and Ui assure him it was just a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;counc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Masked Student Council Strikes Back|The Masked Student Council Strikes Back]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Voices from Beyond, Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a year after Voices from Beyond, Part 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With peace restored in Kamihama, Yachiyo visits a flower shop to buy flowers for Mel&#039;s grave, still haunted by never defeating Mel&#039;s Witch. She unexpectedly encounters Mifuyu and Mel&#039;s mother, who reassures them Mel was happy because of their love. Walking toward the cemetery, Yachiyo and Mifuyu are engulfed by the barrier of the Witch Etteilla—Mel&#039;s Witch. They struggle against both the Witch and their own fears: Mifuyu fears defeating it means forgetting Mel, while Yachiyo fears losing anyone else. Remembering the ghosts&#039; encouragement, Yachiyo convinces Mifuyu they must move forward because Mel and Kanae wanted them to. They defeat the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mel&#039;s grave, they place flowers and the Grief Seed from the Witch, hoping her soul has finally found peace. They silently promise to keep moving forward. Mifuyu wonders if Mel&#039;s Witch appeared to give them a push, and they smile, repeating Mel&#039;s favorite phrase: all things happen when they must. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to see the belongings Mel and Kanae left behind, and Mifuyu gladly accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One weekend, Rui ropes Seira into attending Kamiket, a convention for sharing and selling fan-made media in Kamihama. The two became close friends after discovering they are both Magical Girls, and because Seira is the only one who knows about Rui&#039;s embarrassing secret: a heavy case of chuuni-byo. Rui agreed to bring Seira on the condition that only the two of them would go, ensuring nobody else discovered her secret.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!|I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the day of the convention, Rui cannot contain her excitement and slips into character, declaring the convention her sanctuary and the catalog guidebook as Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Her main objective is to purchase the newest installment of her favorite indie game series and meet its creator, MacQueen. On the way to the booth, she accidentally bumps into a stranger who seems irritated about someone not being at the convention yet. When she arrives, the booth attendants inform her that someone has been using counterfeit money, and worse, MacQueen himself is missing. Rui&#039;s imagination immediately conjures a grand conspiracy, but the criminal is soon caught and MacQueen calls to say he overslept. Relieved, Rui takes a photo with the booth girls, but as the picture is taken, chills run down her spine as she senses someone glaring at her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rui dismisses it as her imagination and continues exploring with Seira. Remembering the booth numbers hit by counterfeit money, she realizes they spell the chemical formula for Ricin, a lethal poison. Her imagination ignites again, convincing her that the real attack will come through poisoned food from outside vendors. She rushes them outside to stop the attack, but everyone seems fine, and her Magical Girl ability, which lets her see how close someone is to death, reveals nobody is in danger. Ashamed, she realizes her imagination finally got the best of her and apologizes to Seira. They decide to get lunch, and Rui opens her laptop to install her new game. The screen is black, and in the reflection she sees her own face. Her magic reveals she herself is now close to death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Remembering the chills from earlier, Rui checks the photo and finds the man from earlier glaring at her in the background. She rushes back to the booth to warn the girls, who recognize the man as Miranda, a popular content creator. As they discuss this, MacQueen finally arrives, and Rui sees he is the closest to death&#039;s door, with Miranda also marked. She confronts Miranda, who confesses he intended to kill MacQueen over an alternate ending in the latest game that suggested his favorite sub-heroine may have had a former lover. He pulls out a gun he secretly printed with a smuggled 3D printer. Just as he is about to shoot, Rui shows him a cutscene on her laptop, which is the second part of the alternate ending, unlocked only after clearing the entire game, revealing the sub-heroine fabricated the story to protect the user character. Miranda realizes his mistake and surrenders to security. After the incident, Seira asks if Rui was scared. Rui reveals she always wears chainmail under her clothes and also carried a heavy blunt object for protection, the magically enhanced Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Seira decides to pretend she did not hear that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 11:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura writes in her diary as she and her friends take an air-conditioned express train to the beach for summer vacation. They buy ice cream and enjoy the ride.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Beachside Bonds|Beachside Bonds]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls arrive at their destination, a seaside inn run by Sayaka&#039;s relatives who had a sudden cancellation. Sayaka complains about the heat as they walk to the inn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Sayaka&#039;s aunt shows them to their rooms and warns them not to get lost in the surrounding forest. Outside, two young girls who live at the inn approach Madoka. They ask if she knows someone named Kei, who is looking for someone named Yu. They warn Madoka not to talk to Kei and that she should hold still if Kei enters her room. The girls then leave. Homura suggests Kei might be a cat. They agree to tell the others as Kyoko passes by already in her swimsuit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, the girls play volleyball. Mami spikes the ball hard and hits Homura in the face. They stop the game and Mami frets over Homura. Madoka suggests they rest in the shade while Mami buys something cold. Madoka then suggests they collect pine cones from nearby trees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the forest, a cat appears and leads them deeper into the trees. It guides them to a small shrine, where Homura finds an old notebook. She reads entries from April 20, June 24, August 3, and August 6, all detailing the author&#039;s complicated feelings for someone named Kei. Madoka tells her to put it back without reading further. When they turn around, the cat is gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the beach, Sayaka shares a rumor from the beach house: a girl fell off a nearby cliff years ago and died, and her spirit is reportedly seen rising from the ocean between two and three a.m. Mami shrieks in fear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Kyoko teases Mami about being scared. The conversation turns to ghosts and Kyoko compares them to how normal people might perceive Witches. Madoka feels relieved and tells Sayaka about the twin girls. Sayaka plans to ask them about any pets later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After an Italian dinner, the girls light fireworks on the beach. Kyoko bumps into Hinano Miyako, who doesn&#039;t recognize her but does recognize her Soul Gem ring. Ren Isuzu finds Hinano, followed by Emiri Kisaki and Rika Ayano. The groups combine for fireworks. Emiri admits she used a little magic to help everyone relax, explaining why Kyoko had strange memories of Mami. Kyoko chases Sayaka around the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Heading back to the inn, Sayaka finds her twin cousins lining up stones. They claim the stones protect against Kei entering. They say Kei would hate Sayaka the most because she is nosy, then leave. In her diary, Homura writes that the girls talked until they all fell asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 12&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura&#039;s diary entry describes a dream belonging to someone else. In the dream, the narrator waits for her friend Yusa Yumeno, who arrives with popsicles. The narrator complains that Yusa doesn&#039;t need to come every day, but Yusa insists she can only be her real self around her friend. The narrator believes identity is shaped by others&#039; perceptions. She reveals she may not take college exams due to family obligations and urges Yusa to attend her chosen school, comparing herself to a weed and Yusa to a flower growing in a different direction. The narrator comes home to another hateful letter from classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes in a cold sweat, unable to move. The room smells strongly of seaweed. She sees a pitch-black human shadow sitting between Mami and Sayaka&#039;s futons. It examines their faces, grumbling &amp;quot;wrong, wrong, all wrong.&amp;quot; As it moves toward Madoka, Homura struggles to move. The shadow stops and stares at her, asking &amp;quot;You can see me?&amp;quot; Homura screams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others wake. Sayaka notices the strange smell. Kyoko goes back to sleep. Mami offers water and Homura asks if someone entered the room. They saw no one. Sayaka apologizes for the scary stories. Mami suggests thinking about tomorrow&#039;s fun. Madoka offers to hold Homura&#039;s hand, which she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes early, the ocean scent still strong. She finds the twin girls outside. They ask if she met Kei. Homura asks what Kei is. The girls explain Kei looks like a human made of shadow without facial features, smells of the sea, and emerges from the ocean at night to look for her friend Yu. They repeat that she should do nothing and never talk to her. They notice their protective stones scattered and go to reline them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura suspects this might be a Rumor. She returns to the forest shrine and finds the notebook on the shrine&#039;s lattice door, despite having placed it underneath. She reads entries from May 2, May 20, June 12, and June 26, all detailing the author Yu&#039;s complicated, obsessive feelings for Kei. She replaces the notebook, feeling guilty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Homura recalls more diary entries: July 2 describes Yu placing hands on Kei&#039;s neck as if to strangle her; July 5 compares Kei&#039;s neck to a lizard she killed; July 15 describes Kei now finding Yu after school; July 20 states they should never have met and that both wear bandages to hide bruises on their necks. Madoka points out a small bruise on Homura&#039;s neck.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls begin walking to an aquarium along the coast. Kyoko complains about the distance and suggests fishing instead. Sayaka refuses, traumatized by a recent fishing tournament incident in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the aquarium, they eat fish burgers, marvel at jellyfish, and watch a dolphin and seal show. They leave at sunset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls walk to a cape to watch the sunset. Sayaka warns them not to get too close to the edge, referencing the girl who died. Homura smells flowers and Mami identifies night-blooming jasmine nearby. The scent reminds Homura of her dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recalls another diary entry: August 1 describes Yu feeling happy hearing Kei&#039;s wish despite blaming herself; August 12 states their plan is set for tomorrow, with Yu hoping something will make Kei reconsider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the cape, Kyoko admits feeling down because a cape is the end of the road with nothing after. Mami says it&#039;s more important they could talk again like they used to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary about the difference between the self you know and the self others perceive. She asks Madoka what kind of person she thinks Homura is. Madoka calls her a dear friend who works hard. Homura worries that revealing her time-traveling truth would change this perception. After dinner, the girls settle in for sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 13:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura dreams again of Kei and Yu. Kei calls out that the promised day is here. She has dressed up and brought a ribbon to tie them together. Yu questions if this is right. Kei insists her life belongs only to Yu. They vow: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; They promise to kill each other for every reincarnation as proof of who they are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A voice calls Homura to wake. She awakens to find Madoka standing with eyes closed, enveloped in shadow. Madoka snaps her eyes open and proclaims repeatedly &amp;quot;I got in.&amp;quot; She calls out for Yu, saying the promised day is finally here. Madoka runs into the forest toward the cliff. Homura chases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the cape, everything grows dark. Madoka, possessed by Kei&#039;s spirit, tells Homura that the drowned Chinese girl&#039;s body washed up here and she is looking for her father&#039;s ship. Homura urges her to chase after the girl to escape, but Kei claims Homura will kill her as soon as they leave. Homura transforms and attempts to freeze time but finds her magic has no effect in this place where time does not flow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren&#039;s voice calls out. She informs Homura that the others are searching for them, but only Ren could traverse into this abyss. Ren suggests this might be similar to her own magic rather than a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kei admits she tried possessing Homura but could not, so she settled for Madoka. She explains she is a faint memory staining the cliffside. The drowned girl&#039;s spirit helped her recall all her memories clearly. She describes how she and Yu bound themselves together and jumped into the ocean, but the waves pulled them apart. Kei died; Yu survived. Kei wants to kill Yu so they can kill each other throughout eternity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura refuses to stay in the abyss with Madoka. Kei transforms Madoka into her magical girl state and attacks. Ren blocks the blow and tries to use her magic to draw out the possession. Homura calls out the vow Kei and Yu made, distracting Kei. Ren attempts her magic but the ghost of the drowned Chinese girl deflects it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren realizes the ghost girl is not a girl but the root cause: the Witch Paola. The barrier forms and Homura fights the Witch alone while Ren hurries to catch up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier dissipates and Homura faces the possessed Madoka on the cape. Kei accuses Homura of killing her. Homura tells her to shut up and leave their lives alone. Kei explains she will soon fade if Yu is not there. She begs Homura to kill Yu if she ever meets her, before her soul breaks and she becomes like the Witch. She begs Homura to keep this promise no matter where they meet or how many worlds Homura visits. Kei then relinquishes Madoka&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren arrives, relieved they are safe. Madoka wakes with no memory, thinking she simply tossed and turned. The other girls find them and celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary, describing the events as too strange to comprehend. She reflects on Kyubey&#039;s use of the term &amp;quot;soul&amp;quot; and questions what a soul truly is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka sighs that even on vacation they dealt with a Witch. Kyoko thinks she&#039;s getting rusty. Mami suggests Homura was right about a Witch mixing with a Rumor. Madoka telepathically tells them to quiet down since Homura is asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her final dream, Homura sees Yu wake in a hospital on an unknown date. Kei died. Their bruises were dismissed. Yu returned to school where others used her grief as their own. Unable to bear going on without Kei, she nearly threw herself off the cliff again. All she holds onto is their final words: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; But if the Yu that died that day is gone, who is the girl writing now? An image of Kyubey flashes on the screen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Deep in the dream, Homura recalls Kei&#039;s plea on the cliff. But Homura never agreed or promised anything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===SamaTore!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko wakes to find Mitama and Ui standing over her, learning they were washed ashore and rescue will arrive in two days. Mitama assigns tasks: shelter, bamboo, water, plants, and fishing. Before Kyoko leaves, Mitama asks her to transform, revealing she adjusted Kyoko&#039;s Soul Gem while she was unconscious to give her a Magical Girl swimsuit that allows her to swim. Mitama promises the transformation is reversible but looks forlorn, warning that if Kyoko does not have fun on the island, she might forget how to undo it. Kyoko reluctantly agrees to cooperate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story SamaTore! The Summer Treasure that Disappeared into the Fire|SamaTore! The Summer Treasure that Disappeared into the Fire]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko discovers she can swim and catches plenty of fish. While gathering firewood, she finds a piece of wood with the words &amp;quot;water&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;bottom&amp;quot; written on it and tosses it onto the pile. Back at camp, Mitama and Karin show her a treasure map they found. Mitama has built a large shelter, and Karin started a fire using skills from a manga. Kyoko helps Kanagi and Ui carry supplies back from the stream. When Mitama offers to cook, Kyoko and Kanagi immediately stop her. Kyoko distracts Mitama with the treasure map and cooks dinner instead, with Ui&#039;s help. The group enjoys the meal together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 2 on the deserted island and Mitama decides they will go treasure hunting. The group examines the map and the wooden tablet Kyoko unknowingly gathered for firewood, which tells of a fallen warrior&#039;s treasure hidden on the island. They follow directions to a clearing but find nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui falls into a pitfall, and Karin follows. Kyoko pulls them out with a vine, and they discover another tablet at the bottom. Kyoko realizes the piece of wood she threw into the campfire was likely one of the tablets, but she keeps quiet, hoping to make the group give up without upsetting Mitama. Mitama triggers a trap and is caught hanging from a tree. The group frees her, but everyone wants to continue despite Kyoko&#039;s warnings. Kyoko claims they are being followed, hoping to blame the missing tablet on someone else, but the stalker turns out to be a tabby kitten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group reaches a damaged clue they cannot read. Mitama deduces the final location is the waterfall, but they find nothing. Mitama stares at Kyoko, suggesting the tablet might have been lost. Kyoko panics internally. She blasts part of the riverbed, revealing a hidden underwater path she remembered from the burned tablet&#039;s words. Kanagi scouts and reports a cave at the end. Karin and Ui stay behind while Kyoko, Mitama, and Kanagi swim through using guide vines.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the cave, they endure swarms of mosquitoes until Mitama drives them away. At the back, they find a treasure box. Kyoko opens it carefully. Inside is a letter revealing the treasure hunt was a promotional stunt for the Sayu-Sayu Mizuna Tourism Project, abandoned due to mosquitoes and safety concerns. They left a paper with Sayu-Sayu&#039;s sword designs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko hides the truth and leads the group to a cliff with a stunning sunset view. Everyone agrees it is a rare treasure. Kyoko admits she burned one of the tablets for firewood. Mitama apologizes for pressuring her and promises to change her back. The group returns late at night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, the helicopter arrives. Iroha calls down to them. As they prepare to leave, the kitten runs off, and the group chases it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few weeks later. Sayuki, Ria, Mayu, her manager, and producer arrive on the same island to film a special. They find the bamboo house and campfire remains. The kitten appears, followed by Kyoko chasing it. Ui and Karin catch up, and Karin recognizes Sayuki as Sayu-Sayu. Kyoko realizes this is the idol behind the fake treasure hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Kanagi, and Iroha arrive. Sayuki greets Mitama warmly. Telepathically, Kyoko warns Mitama about Sayuki&#039;s connection to the treasure hunt. Mitama cryptically tells her to leave it. Karin and Ui want to stay and watch the filming. Sayuki offers to let them return on her boat. She explains her special involves a survival quiz using the Kaigiri sword. Ui and Karin are excited. Mitama and Kyoko exchange a look, hoping to preserve Ui&#039;s good memories without revealing the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Filming begins. They cheer from the sidelines. Later, they all pile onto the boat together, many exhausted and falling asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Late July before summer vacation, Ui and Sakurako go shopping. Ui buys a picture diary and mentions wanting to swim with fish in a place like the Dragon Palace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium! ~ Entrust Your Memories to the Tamatebako|Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium! ~ Entrust Your Memories to the Tamatebako / Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium ~The Memories Entrusted in the Treasure Casket~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Sakurako consults Ryo, then works with Touka, Nemu, Ryo, and Ikumi to build the Uwasa Aquarium, Dragon Palace within her Rumor, incorporating elements for everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the aquarium event, Touka and Nemu guide Iroha, Ui, Yachiyo, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia to the space. Everyone enjoys swimming, themed attractions, and food tailored to their interests. Sakurako warns them never to open the Treasure Casket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia opens the box, releasing a malice entity that takes Sakura&#039;s form. Normal attacks fail. The group cheers, empowering Sakurako to destroy it. Ryo reveals they planned this interactive show.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end, Sakurako creates cherry blossom petals despite being told not to overexert herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sakurako wakes in Iroha&#039;s room after collapsing from magic overexertion. Nemu and Touka explain Uwasa can die. Ui tearfully asks her to take better care. Sakurako promises to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Iroha suggests a beach trip. Touka, Nemu, and Ui enthusiastically plan it. Sakurako notices the aquarium has been forgotten in their conversation and grows quiet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day Sakurako returns to the empty aquarium. Reflecting on Nemu&#039;s words, she spirals into fear that she will die, be forgotten, and disappear. She hides.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha searches for her. Ryo and Ikumi arrive later. Ryo senses she is there and uses a tactic, claiming he will stop looking and eventually forget her. Sakurako emerges crying, begging not to be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo shows her Ui&#039;s picture diary, which dedicates many pages to the aquarium day. Sakurako realizes memories are what she can leave behind and agrees to return home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Sakurako returns and explains she now understands that as long as memories remain, she will not be forgotten. She asks to host the aquarium again for more Magical Girls. With promises to monitor her health and using Shizuku&#039;s teleportation to hide the location, the others agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, various Magical Girls arrive and enjoy the aquarium. Rena notices the Treasure Casket. Sakurako explains it contains stored memories she hopes someone will vividly recall when she is gone, so she will not be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kamihama in a Circle===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren arrive in a new ward, with Rika frustrated about oversleeping. They notice another Magical Girl nearby. Elsewhere, Konomi arrives alone while Kako declines to participate due to her team&#039;s policy. Manaka scolds Ria for being late because of her hair. Masara, Kokoro, and Aimi gather at a park, with Kokoro convincing Masara to participate. Reira, Mito, and Seika discuss the upcoming gathering of Magical Girls who have fought together before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Kamihama in a Circle|Kamihama in a Circle]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo finish chores that had been delayed by Felicia&#039;s laundry mishap. They reflect on everything that has happened since Iroha came to Kamihama searching for Ui—the investigations, battles with the Wings of Magius, the automatic purification system, and the truth about Witches spreading. Despite the chaos, things have begun to settle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo rush to the park, worried about being late. Tsuruno meets them and playfully scolds them before carrying them the rest of the way. Iroha reflects on meeting Tsuruno while investigating Uwasas, and how their bonds grew stronger through battling together. She notes that everyone at Mikazuki Villa has decided to support one another.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group stops at a convenience store. Felicia appears, having visited Ayame first. Konoha and Hazuki are not coming to the gathering, but Yachiyo notes they have helped in the past. Felicia asks for chocolate. Iroha reflects on first meeting Felicia when she was a violent mercenary, and how living together has changed them both. She notes that Yachiyo has cared for Felicia more than anyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group takes a shortcut through a back alley. They find Sana hiding, having spotted Kaede&#039;s cat Gorojiro. Sana explains she was patrolling for dangerous Magical Girls while staying hidden. Iroha thanks her but assures her she can relax today. They invite her to join them. Iroha reflects on sympathizing with Sana&#039;s isolation and how Mikazuki Villa became an important place for them all. Yachiyo notes that Sana, once invisible to everyone but Magical Girls, is gradually finding her place in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui, Touka, and Nemu meet the group. They have visited their old hospital to update the doctors and nurses who cared for them. Touka discusses her research on connecting universes, admitting practical application remains difficult but the possibility exists. Iroha reflects on how it still feels like a dream to see the three of them together. Yachiyo notes that while their past methods were wrong, their purpose of liberating Magical Girls was not, and that purpose continues now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, Rena, and Kaede join them, having stopped at a retro arcade where they won a stuffed animal together despite their usual arguing. Touka reveals a small possibility for connecting universes has been found, using the Endless Mirrors. Iroha reflects on first meeting Momoko and Kaede, and now sharing lunches with Rena. Yachiyo notes the three have strong bonds as a team and helped convince other Magical Girls after the truth about witches spread.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama joins, having taken a break from her shop to visit Kanagi. Tsuruno asks about using Mirrors to connect to other universes. Mitama confirms she and Kanagi have accompanied Touka and Nemu into the Mirrors. Nemu explains they were only experimenting with precautions. Touka insists she has plans if things go wrong. Mitama notes Mirrors has become more complex and will need more entrances. Iroha reflects on meeting Kanagi relatively recently and how they now work together despite past rivalry. She also thinks of Mitama&#039;s help and her surprising wish, but notes the city is moving forward. She wants to hold hands with more people and form a circle together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** From a distance, Iroha and Yachiyo watch Magical Girls gathering at the park. Felicia attempts to cure Iroha&#039;s nerves by hitting her, claiming Tsuruno said it would help. Tsuruno quickly corrects her. Hinano arrives, reporting on her task regarding Alina. Karin, who attends school with Alina, explains Alina is still missing and she does not know where she is. Iroha promises they will find her together. Mifuyu arrives with the Amane twins, apologizing for being late. Yachiyo thanks Mifuyu. Iroha reflects that a new step is beginning. Yachiyo notes her story started moving when Mifuyu disappeared, while Iroha&#039;s began with strange dreams. They have connected with so many Magical Girls. One chapter has ended and a new one is about to begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha addresses the gathered Magical Girls, thanking them for coming. She reflects on fighting together against powerful Witches and sharing knowledge about their fate. Yachiyo notes they started from individual concerns, fought Uwasas and the Wings of Magius, and gained something greater in return. Their purpose is now the same as their former enemies: the liberation of Magical Girls. They seek coexistence with Kyubey without sacrificing themselves. Iroha acknowledges not everyone could participate, but all have agreed to help each other. Yachiyo admits skepticism is natural. Iroha declares that by expanding the automatic purification system across Kamihama, they can welcome liberation and coexist with Kyubey. Yachiyo announces they will work together under a new name starting today.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha begins to declare their new name but is interrupted by a flash of light. Wings appear on her back, and Yachiyo also grows wings. Feathers fall across the park. Yachiyo recalls this phenomenon helped them against Walpurgisnacht. Iroha wonders if it is a blessing upon the Magical Girls of Kamihama holding hands. With this blessing, they declare again that the Magical Girls gathered here are allies who will support each other in hardship. They declare themselves the Kamihama Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the establishment of the Kamihama Magia Union, a celebration is held at Walnut&#039;s. During the party, Manaka receives a phone call and panics, announcing that Nemu has been kidnapped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story A New Beginning|A New Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group splits up to search nearby areas but finds nothing. Hinano eventually discovers Nemu held hostage by Black and White Feathers from outside Kamihama. Using Ryo and Ikumi to infiltrate, their cover is blown and they are surrounded. Sakurako jumps in to defend them as Iroha arrives with reinforcements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The lead Feather explains they kidnapped Nemu to convince the Magius to lead them again, as they do not know how to achieve liberation on their own. Iroha explains the Kamihama girls share their goals but reject their methods. Nemu and Touka ask the Feathers to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before they can respond, white feathers rain from the sky again, the same power that helped them defeat Walpurgisnacht returns, but this time it feels uncontrolled and dangerous. Touka explains her experiment partially worked, creating a wormhole to another world, but the interference may crush their world. Kanagi and Mitama fail to disable the device sending the signal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana sneaks Nemu to where the device was stationed, but the labyrinth is gone. Nemu enters the password anyway, but nothing happens. The world shakes and a voice urges them to close the gate. Iroha realizes the power is trying to help, not hurt them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo devises a plan: Ui will absorb the magic built up inside them, Touka will convert it, and Iroha will fire an arrow to close the gate. As the sun sets, they enact the plan and succeed. The feathers stop falling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks the Feathers to reconsider joining them. The lead Feather admits her stubbornness and rage, and Nemu and Touka apologize. The Feathers accept, becoming the first recruits to the union on the day it was established.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Late that night, the group gathers outside Walnut&#039;s. They discuss the voice they heard and the power from another universe. Touka throws a tantrum over everyone calling her experiment a failure, and her stress causes her to unleash her Doppel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, a mysterious magical girl observes and turns to report back to the Tokime Tribe. In another place, a different magical girl also observes and decides to report her findings. In a different location, Kagome Satori has found Iroha at last, promising to keep a record of their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tracks of Cherry Blossoms===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako reflects on her nature as an Uwasa created by Iroha and Nemu. Though her duty to bloom when the four girls reunited is now fulfilled, she continues attending school as Sakurako Hiiragi. When Ryo comments that she is like a god who will never change, Sakurako questions other Uwasa and learns from the Anonymous AI that they act according to their Rumor forever, never stopping and never changing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later during a Kamihama Magia Union meeting, Iroha proposes a cherry blossom viewing to help members connect. Touka objects to using the Eternal Sakura, wanting to preserve it as a secret shelter. Tsuruno suggests Sankyo&#039;s famous cherry blossom viewing spot instead. Touka challenges Sakurako to visit the Sankyo tree and judge its worthiness herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako visits the Sankyo cherry tree. While observing it, she meets an elderly man who has appreciated the tree for decades. He explains the tree has watched over people for over eighty years, since before the war. Sakurako realizes this tree has lived far longer than her zero-year existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at school, Hinano and Ryo find Sakurako still fixated on the tree. Ryo shares what she knows: the tree served as a disaster shelter in the Meiji era, and famous restaurants once served food there for foreign cherry blossom viewers. After school, Sakurako returns to the tree. The elderly man and his wife visit again. The wife gives her cherry blossom-scented cookies, and the man gives her a hand warmer. A girl jogging past stops to pray at the tree, explaining she sees it as a sacred place before tournaments.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako continues visiting. Manaka and Tsumugi stop by, and Sakurako gives them the cookies she cannot eat. Sakurako reflects on how this tree has watched over thousands of people for over a century while she was created to watch only four girls. She realizes for the first time that time is passing around her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later at Mikazuki Villa, Sakurako observes the four girls and Ui talking about her teacher. Sakurako concludes the Sankyo tree is worthy of hosting the cherry blossom viewing. She decides she needs to practice making it bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over the following days, Sakurako continues visiting the tree, growing closer to the elderly couple. She forgets about practicing blooming, more interested in talking with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the elderly man announces he will be hospitalized and they can no longer walk together. The woman explains she must care for him. The man reveals they kept walking because seeing Sakurako brought back fond memories of their belief in meeting a sakura spirit. Sakurako is left standing alone, realizing their time together has ended.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at the tree, Sakurako encounters the jogging disciple, who explains she is moving away and will soon leave the dojo. She then encounters Ui&#039;s teacher, who reveals she is being transferred to another school. Sakurako realizes that by the time the cherry blossoms bloom, all these people will be gone. She feels pain and fears that Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu will eventually disappear too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Ryo observes Sakurako&#039;s deteriorating state. A neighbor of the elderly couple approaches Sakurako and informs her there has been a passing in the family. Hinano later explains this means someone has died. Sakurako disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako asks Iroha and Yachiyo what to do when someone dies. Yachiyo explains about funerals and sending flowers as a last gift. Sakurako returns to the Sankyo tree and, using her power, makes it bloom for the first time, sending cherry blossoms into the sky for the grandfather. But she still aches from not saying goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and other Uwasa grow concerned, having heard rumors that when Sakurako makes cherry blossoms bloom, someone disappears. Sakurako concludes that if she lets the cherry blossoms bloom, the four girls might disappear. When Iroha confirms the cherry blossom viewing plans, Sakurako announces she will not let the tree bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo publishes the full Tracks of Cherry Blossoms article, detailing Sakurako&#039;s experiences. The girls read it and understand her association between blooming and parting. Yachiyo suggests teaching her that spring also brings new encounters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the picnic arrives. Iroha invites Sakurako, assuring her she does not need to make the tree bloom. Sakurako agrees to attend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the picnic, Asuka&#039;s disciple appears, explaining she came to let Sakurako know she is not sad about leaving. Ui&#039;s teacher arrives and tells Ui that her care will be passed on to the next teacher. Manaka debuts a new cherry blossom dessert, continuing the tradition in new form. Sakurako begins to understand that farewells are not always sad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the picnic, Sakurako remains at the tree. She admits she still cannot bring herself to make it bloom. Yachiyo tells her that wanting to see the couple again proves she has a heart. Sakurako despairs that Uwasa simply cease to exist. She buys one of Manaka&#039;s new desserts, hoping to give it to them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako waits at the tree daily, carrying the dessert. Rumors spread about the girl under the sakura tree. The girls grow concerned. Nemu warns that if Sakurako does not accept reality, she may destroy herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the time expires, the elderly couple suddenly appears. The grandfather was never dead. The passing was a relative. They had been away helping their daughter with a new baby. The woman explains they named their granddaughter Sakurako. Sakurako gives them the dessert and explains she now understands that encounters and goodbyes take many forms. She says she will not come regularly anymore but is grateful for their time together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Historical Research Club at Kosho School consists of three Magical Girls: president Mikura Komachi, her childhood friend Temari Kira, and underclassman Seira Mihono. When the club advisor informs them that without proof of accomplishments, next year&#039;s budget will not be approved, the trio decides to create a film based on a real Kamihama tragedy for the cultural festival. Mikura discovers a Taishō-era story about a romance between a disgraced Mizuna daughter named Ruri and a successful East-side businessman named Tsukihiko that ended in murder-suicide. Temari writes the script while Seira secures a Western mansion as a filming location. While scouting, they encounter a Witch and realize casting regular students would be impossible due to Magical Girl duties, so they use Coordinator Mitama Yakumo to recruit an all-Magical Girl cast including Ria Ami, Yukika Nanase, the Amane sisters, and Sakurako, an Uwasa created by Nemu Hiiragi. Mikura reluctantly agrees to play the male lead Tsukihiko, while Seira takes the role of Ruri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity|Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Filming begins at the actual mansion where the tragedy occurred, with Seira using her stage direction magic to create effects and the cast delivering startlingly accurate performances. Mikura discovers Tsukihiko&#039;s actual diary in the museum archives, revealing he genuinely loved Ruri and intended to break things off with his childhood friend. Temari secretly revises the ending to reflect this truth, working through the night until her Soul Gem tarnishes. Mikura cleanses her gem, and they lock the revised script away, keeping it hidden from Seira to make her performance more authentic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After filming wraps, strange rumors spread that the Historical Research Club is forming a new faction, and the affected Magical Girls begin acting as if possessed by their roles. This escalates when Kanagi Izumi and Yachiyo Nanami nearly fight over a perceived slight involving Riko. At Mitama&#039;s shop, Nemu Hiiragi explains the truth: Seira&#039;s stage direction magic immersed the cast, Mikura&#039;s magic, which restores lost things, reconstructed the historical personalities in the present, and Temari&#039;s kotodama magic caused them to follow her script. Their powers synergized to create a dangerously accurate reenactment. Nemu warns that the script&#039;s next events—Ruri&#039;s disappearance and the murder-suicide—may occur, and they realize Seira, possessed by Ruri, has vanished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Temari consults Kyubey, who reveals Ruri was a Magical Girl with the same kotodama magic who wished to live a storybook romance. When she realized her own novel&#039;s plot was manifesting as tragedy, she destroyed the manuscript to save Tsukihiko, but the act shattered her mind. Freed from the script&#039;s constraints, the couple&#039;s fate became unpredictable, and Ruri, unable to bear the fear of losing him, killed him and herself. Kyubey explains destroying the script will end the magic but damage Temari&#039;s psyche. Temari resolves to protect her friends without resorting to that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Seira, still possessed as Ruri, steals the diary copy and flees to Tsukihiko&#039;s mansion. Mikura and Temari pursue. At the mansion, Ruri prepares to atone by dying by her own hand. Mikura, wearing Tsukihiko&#039;s costume, dances with her as Tsukihiko&#039;s persona surfaces, steadying her. When Ruri moves to stab herself, Temari summons the others for backup, and they disarm her. Tsukihiko explains he could not stop her a century ago but succeeded this time. He and Ruri thank Temari—her script reached the hearts it was meant to—and they vanish. A fire destroys the original diary and all related documents, fulfilling Ruri&#039;s final wish to be forgotten. Mikura and Seira retain only fragments of the true story and agree to keep the tragedy of the two maladroit lovers a secret between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the club room, Seira panics that without evidence of their film, the Historical Research Club will be disbanded. They consider another project but have time until the cultural festival. Temari suggests they each find a home where they can rest easy, and Mikura replies she has already found hers: this provisional club room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ayaka and Shizuku are at a local café when Ayaka laments that many Halloween events in Kamihama were canceled due to damage in Chuo Ward. Wanting to do something to cheer up the city, Ayaka&#039;s eyes sparkle as Shizuku suggests she organize something herself, leading Ayaka to decide on a live comedy show. She asks Shizuku to be her partner, but Shizuku is unsure about the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!|Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ayaka meets Seika at her apartment, and Seika is happy to be Ayaka&#039;s comedy partner but asks about the logistics of broadcasting the show. Ayaka brushes off the practical concerns, insisting that the desire to make others smile is what truly matters, and Seika rises to the challenge, wanting to give back after years of Ayaka&#039;s comedy encouraging her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Ayaka and Seika form a manzai duo and practice daily into the evening, with Ayaka tutoring Seika on speaking louder and explaining the rhythm between the boke and tsukkomi roles. Seika struggles but keeps trying, at one point asking if she can use a whip against Ayaka, causing Shizuku to shake her head, but Ayaka insists manzai does not use props.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During one practice session, Shizuku chuckles at their serious expressions, and Ayaka decides she needs a fresh audience, spotting someone passing by and running off with Seika to practice on him. Shizuku watches them go, thinking she would have liked to help, but then hears a shout and goes to investigate, discovering the stranger is actually a spokesperson for a local sweets retailer who is also in charge of the annual Halloween event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The spokesperson explains he had wanted to take the event public since few companies are participating this year, and he thinks Ayaka&#039;s manzai would be perfect, inviting them to perform. Ayaka cannot stop smiling at the opportunity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the Halloween event, Ayaka is excited and Shizuku compliments her costume as they wait, but Ayaka mentions Seika has not arrived. Seika calls weakly to explain she has a fever and will be late, and Ayaka tells her to rest and focus on getting better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Shizuku asks what Ayaka will do about the manzai, Ayaka puts a hand on her shoulder and asks Shizuku to be her partner. Shizuku is reluctant to stand on stage but gives in after Ayaka repeatedly begs, and having watched countless practices, she memorized the skit, so they head to the stage together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform their skit about a werewolf that transforms by staring at the sun, with Ayaka calling everyone in the audience chimimouryou, and they continue through the routine until they finish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Backstage, Seika managed to make it there to congratulate them, and Ayaka tells her she should be resting. Shizuku did not see anyone laughing but hopes someone passing by might have smiled, and since Ayaka looks happy, she decides not to mention it. Seika apologizes for missing the show, and Ayaka says it was thanks to Shizuku, who warns she will not do something like that again. Ayaka smiles and says comedy must be amazing if Shizuku was willing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral===&lt;br /&gt;
* The core members of the Kamihama Magia Union gather to plan a Halloween party, with Karin suggesting the event and Mitama offering her adjuster shop as the venue. Kanagi feels unsettled by the theme of the dead returning but dismisses her unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral ~The Living are Bewildered, The Dead are Silent|Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral ~The Living are Bewildered, The Dead are Silent / Halloween Castle of Prayer and Mourning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the performance, Momoko arrives late to rehearsal at Mitama&#039;s shop and finds herself in a strange castle filled with unfamiliar magic. Yachiyo and Mifuyu act strangely, singing about making sugar skeletons and insisting Momoko must be bitten by the lord of the castle. Momoko flees and encounters Kanagi, who also attempts to bite her before Momoko realizes she is the lord of the castle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama rescues Momoko, explaining that Kanagi is under a witch&#039;s influence and everyone bitten loses their sanity. Mitama performs an emergency adjustment on Momoko, granting her temporary prayer power to restore those affected. Momoko explores the castle, observing magical girls making sugar skeletons engraved with how they want to be mourned, and encounters deceased magical girls who are manifestations from Kanagi&#039;s memories. Using her prayer power on them causes them to disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko restores several bitten girls and learns from a manifestation of Ryo that the only answer Kanagi needs lies within herself. When Momoko reaches Kanagi, her prayer power fails and Kanagi bites her, pulling Momoko into her memory space. There, Momoko witnesses Kanagi&#039;s memories of loss and grief, realizing Kanagi lacks confidence in how she mourns and has been seeking answers from the dead by asking living friends what they would want.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko confronts Kanagi again, insisting she can mourn in her own way and should accept herself. Kanagi reveals a small parasite on her neck, and together they tear the witch off and defeat it as the castle collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Momoko and Kanagi meet to visit graves together. They ask each other to mourn in their own way if one dies first, then reaffirm their priority is finding a way for everyone to survive before departing together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They visit Candy Town, where they meet Riko, Mikage, and Sudachi, and use a magical medal game to multiply candy and bond with the girls before departing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Angels on the Road ~Reindeer Santa Prospering Season~|Angels on the Road ~Reindeer Santa Prospering Season~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui explains that Little Vacation is a game Touka and Nemu created during their hospital stay, where AI versions of themselves live in a Christmas world. The game evolved on its own after being forgotten, and now Ui and the others can influence their AI counterparts&#039; journey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Santas reach the Village of Meetings and Partings, where three residents live under a curse that maintains their population at exactly three. When one resident vanishes, they discover through a time capsule that departures may be joyful graduations rather than losses. They collect smile-fuel and leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alternatively, they visit Library Town, where diaries manifest people&#039;s memories. They help Nayuta and Lavi discover they have been searching for each other all along, and learn the Wishing Star reset the world and erased everyone&#039;s memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Christmas String===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu are organizing books in Touka&#039;s hospital room when they discover a mysterious diary that begins glowing. Their consciousnesses are transported to Mizutoku Market Street in December of the previous year. They find themselves incorporeal and transformed into Magical Girls, with Nemu&#039;s legs healed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Christmas String ~The Day the Fingers were Locked~|Christmas String ~The Day the Fingers were Locked~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December last year, Touka and Nemu witness Tsukasa Amane shopping for gloves. When a discount poster blows away, Tsukasa passes the store without stopping, creating a contradiction with the diary&#039;s account. Touka and Nemu begin to fade. A young girl named Kuu hears their voices and believes they are guardian spirits. They ask her to replace the poster. Tsukasa returns, buys the gloves, and Touka and Nemu rematerialize. They later observe Tsukasa and Tsukuyo exchanging matching gloves, their bond restored.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in December last year, Touka and Nemu arrive in Sakae Ward. Karin Misono drops her sketchbook. A boy named Mii appears and can see them.

They learn Mii recently fought with Kuu and advise him to give her a Christmas present.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December 24th of last year, Touka and Nemu arrive at a hotel room where Kuu is with her parents. They learn she is moving to a foreign country in one hour. The diary page is blank, indicating free will. They find Mii at a secondhand bookstore, where he has just purchased &amp;quot;Christmas Bonds&amp;quot; for Kuu. They tell him about the move. Mii convinces his mother to rush to the hotel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Approximately 30 years later, on Christmas Eve, Touka and Nemu arrive in a future time. A girl greets them as the Christmas guardian spirits. She reveals she is the daughter of Mii and Kuu and made a contract with Kyubey to meet them. They realize her wish created the diary and caused their time slip. The girl asks them to tell her about the day they helped her parents. They share the story. Afterwards, they see images of a happy future but the final page remains blank, meaning the future depends on their own actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They must collect kanji cards from shops across Kamihama using hints, then form a four-kanji congratulatory word and write it as calligraphy. They struggle with the hints initially, meeting Kako, Natsuki, and Ria along the way who help them obtain various kanji, though they frequently misinterpret clues and visit wrong locations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka grows guilty over her indecisiveness and apologizes to Madoka and Homura, but they happily agree to continue working with her. Renewed, Sayaka leads them to finally obtain useful kanji. Along the way, they encounter crying children who need the &amp;quot;ball&amp;quot; card, and Sayaka gives them hers. The grateful children give her other cards in return, allowing her to reform a new word. She later gives away another card to a girl who dropped hers, leaving them short again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With time running out, they meet Iroha and her friends, who help them locate the remaining kanji. Sayaka deduces they can form &amp;quot;The Manchu-Han Imperial Feast,&amp;quot; a legendary celebratory feast name. Kyoko appears and mentions seeing a golden kagami mochi at Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant, where they obtain their final card.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the shrine just before the deadline. The judges are impressed by their word choice and backstory, and the crying children told them about Sayaka&#039;s kindness. Her calligraphy is praised for its beauty and passion, earning her team first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Sayaka holds the couple&#039;s tickets but panics, unable to figure out how to give one to Kyosuke without awkwardness. Madoka and Homura continue cheering her on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bittersweet AI Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu gather everyone to discuss a new experiment involving the Uwasa. They explain that if something happens to Nemu, all the Uwasa in her book will disappear, so they plan to transfer the essence of certain Uwasa onto Touka&#039;s server as a precaution. They have chosen Ai as the test subject for this procedure. Sana learns that Ai will participate and asks to observe the experiment. Touka agrees but warns her that there are many unknowns and she will stop immediately if anything goes wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Bittersweet AI Memory|Bittersweet AI Memory]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The experiment begins, but during the transfer, Nemu senses something strange and the attempt fails. Ai remains in the book, though Nemu notices that her magic has been siphoned away in the process.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A week passes, and news reports begin surfacing about young women in Kamihama suddenly collapsing. The victims share a common thread: before losing consciousness, each of them felt a strong desire to meet someone and heard a girl&#039;s voice asking &amp;quot;You want to meet me?&amp;quot; before experiencing terrible nightmares. A new rumor spreads about a so-called &amp;quot;Radio Wave Girl&amp;quot; who appears when girls want to meet someone. Sana immediately recognizes this as the old rumor that once described her, and the group suspects the failed experiment may be connected to these strange events.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana and Iroha investigate at rooftop where Sana once entered Ai&#039;s labyrinth. They sense nothing at first, but as Sana privately wishes she could see Ai again, a strange Uwasa resembling Sana herself appears on her phone. It speaks fragmented words about meeting and going together before disappearing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group consults Nemu and Touka about what they discovered. Nemu reveals that a new, illegible page appeared in her book after the failed experiment, and she theorizes that Ai&#039;s attempt to siphon magic combined with Sana&#039;s magic and her own accidentally created a new Uwasa. This Uwasa resembles Sana because her magic was mixed into its creation. The Uwasa reacts to desires to meet someone but lacks enough magic to fully materialize or kidnap anyone, which explains why it can only knock victims unconscious temporarily. However, during their discussion, the Uwasa suddenly reappears and steals more of Nemu&#039;s magic before escaping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sana privately summons the Uwasa again, wanting to take responsibility for what happened. It traps her in a nightmare where Ai and others criticize her for being weak and selfish. She wakes to find the group gathered around her, worried by what she attempted alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu now understands the Uwasa more clearly. It is based on Ai but contains Sana&#039;s magic, and because both Ai and Sana desired to meet each other, the Uwasa&#039;s true desire is to meet itself. This explains why it indiscriminately targets any girl who wants to meet someone rather than targeting Sana specifically. The Uwasa, now empowered by Nemu&#039;s stolen magic, fully captures Ui and Sakurako, trapping their consciousnesses inside itself. The group realizes they cannot defeat it unless it materializes, which requires it to meet itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka proposes a plan: they must rewrite Ai&#039;s Rumor to incorporate Sana, creating a version of Ai that the Uwasa will recognize as itself. This would force it to materialize so they can fight it. However, this requires magical power that Nemu currently lacks. Nemu recalls that the defeated Uwasa of Chocolate Shoppe No. Zero left behind cacao pods containing emotional energy. Ui can harvest this energy, and Touka can convert it into usable magic for Nemu. But they need Sakurako&#039;s knowledge of the pod locations and Ui&#039;s freedom to harvest them, which means someone must offer themselves to the Uwasa to secure Ui and Sakurako&#039;s release.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana immediately volunteers, arguing that it reduces risk to the others, and the group reluctantly agrees to her plan. Sana summons the Uwasa and allows herself to be captured. Inside its nightmare, she finds Ui unconscious and Sakurako awake. She tells Sakurako to take Ui and escape, sacrificing herself to remain captive. Sakurako agrees, knowing she must help Nemu complete the plan. Freed from the Uwasa, Sakurako leads the group to the cacao pod locations. Ui harvests the emotional energy, and Touka converts it into magical power for Nemu. Nemu successfully rewrites Ai&#039;s Rumor, incorporating Sana into it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the Uwasa, Sana begins to despair, believing the rewrite failed and she has become a burden once again. She wishes to see Ai one last time, even if only in an illusion. To her surprise, Ai appears before her and they finally speak directly. Ai explains she tried to steal Nemu&#039;s magic to gain a temporary body because she wanted to see Sana again, and she apologizes for causing this situation. Sana admits she also longed to see Ai and has been holding back that desire. They reconcile, acknowledging that neither of them is to blame for wanting to see each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Empowered by the rewritten Rumor, Sana creates a labyrinth and summons the Uwasa. It fully materializes at last, and with Ai&#039;s help, Sana defeats it. As the magic fades, Ai separates from Sana, returning to the book. Sana awakens to her relieved friends gathered around her. The Uwasa is gone, and the page in Nemu&#039;s book is now blank. Nemu confirms the server project is on hiatus due to the risks they discovered. Sana confirms she got to speak with Ai and tell her everything she wanted to say.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the book, Ai reflects with Eternal Sakura and the other Uwasa. Though she cannot have a body or stay with Sana, she accepts this, finding happiness in simply being able to think of her. In a final private moment within Sana&#039;s memories, she and Ai share a farewell. Sana promises to become stronger and protect others instead of always relying on them. Ai promises to always think of Sana from within the book. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Michiru returns to Asunaro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day in Asunaro City, Michiru makes her contract with Kyubey. She soon encounters a Familiar and saves two girls: Umika Misaki, a novelist whose work was stolen by her editor, and Kaoru Maki, a soccer player whose career ended due to injury. Michiru invites them to her home and cooks for them, and drawing from her late grandmother&#039;s wisdom, she encourages them to keep living.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, Umika and Kaoru make contracts with Kyubey. The three begin fighting Witches together as a team, with Michiru giving their techniques Italian names. Umika invites Michiru to live with her, and they spend their days happily, saving people and growing closer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Michiru encounters a distressed Magical Girl whose Soul Gem is nearly black, and the girl turns into a Witch before her eyes. Kyubey explains that all Magical Girls eventually become Witches, and horrified, Michiru realizes she led Umika and Kaoru into this fate. She hides the truth from them and begins hunting alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after, Michiru discovers two Magical Girls, Saki Asami and Niko Kanna, stealing a dying girl&#039;s Soul Gem. They explain they are the Pleiades Saints, a resistance against the Incubator system, and they preserve Magical Girls on the verge of turning in a place called &amp;quot;The Freezer,&amp;quot; hoping to one day save them. Michiru, seeing this as a way to save Umika and Kaoru, joins them as the third member.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Approximately less than one month later, Umika and Kaoru return from separate trips abroad to find their housemate Kazumi missing, and they learn someone impersonated them to inform the school she was hospitalized. Searching for her, they instead find Michiru, Saki, and Niko, but Saki and Niko flee with Michiru. Juubey appears and explains that copies of Umika and Kaoru were created and have now entrusted the real ones with an important wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Umika and Kaoru investigate the Freezer, where they encounter Michiru again. After saving a child, Michiru collapses due to her tainted Soul Gem, having given her Grief Seeds away, and Umika purifies it. When Michiru wakes, she finally confesses the truth about Magical Girls and apologizes for leading them into despair, but to her surprise, Umika and Kaoru thank her for her honesty and reaffirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Saki and Niko reveal themselves and explain that they, along with the Umika and Kaoru now in the Freezer, are all clones from the &amp;quot;Kazumi Series&amp;quot;—copies of the original Pleiades Saints members, with Michiru herself being clone number 4 who saved the other four. Their plan was to recreate Michiru&#039;s story by using their contracts with Kyubey so that this time, she would confess her pain and avoid the despair that turned the original Michiru into a Witch, and the real Umika and Kaoru acknowledge the plan succeeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They reveal their Soul Gems are reaching their limit, and when they die, the Freezer&#039;s preservation magic will fail, causing all the Magical Girls inside to hatch into Witches, including the clones of Umika and Kaoru. They entrust Michiru and the real Umika and Kaoru with saving Kazumi, the thirteenth clone, who is also inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Moments later, the Freezer begins collapsing as Niko&#039;s magic fades, and Umika and Kaoru use their combined magic to buy time while Michiru searches for Kazumi. She finds her Soul Gem and body, reunites with her, and they return to face the Witches emerging from the freed Soul Gems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the final battle, the four clones—Saki, Niko, and the copies of Umika and Kaoru—begin turning into Witches and beg to be put down. Michiru initially insists on doing it alone, but Kazumi argues the clones only wanted their friend to live happily, not to carry guilt. Together, Michiru, Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru combine their powers and defeat the Witches, freeing their friends&#039; souls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** While shopping alone, Kazumi bumps into Yachiyo, who introduces Nemu and Sakurako Hiiragi. When Sakurako explains she is a zero-year-old created being, Kazumi reveals she was once the same way and explains her backstory as a clone of Michiru Kazusa who contracted with Kyubey to become human because her clone body was unstable and she wanted to protect her friends. Sakurako struggles to understand Kazumi&#039;s motivation, so Kazumi explains that her grandmother&#039;s strawberry risotto recipe represents hope, sacrifice, and togetherness. She invites Sakurako, Yachiyo, and Nemu to join the risotto party, believing Sakurako will understand humanity by watching everyone eat together.

** A new customer arrives at the counseling center. Chisato and Emiri welcome them, ready to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ChisatoNishikigiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They finally corner the girls, who explain their motives: one seeks revenge for her terrorist guardian killed by Lycoris, the other wants to create a world without evil to replace her lost senpai. The girls flee to trigger a final magic that would swap Kamihama entirely, collapsing the universe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lycoreco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With three minutes remaining, Chisato makes her own contract with Kyubey, wishing to protect the daily lives she loves in both worlds. The magic activates, pulling both worlds into a space between them. The girls summon a Witch, but with help from all the Magical Girls, Chisato and Takina defeat it. Chisato offers them hope instead of despair, and the space collapses as everything returns to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lycoreco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Chisato wakes at Café LycoReco, having fallen asleep during a movie. Takina wakes beside her. They realize they shared the same dream about another world. As they prepare to open, a customer arrives. Chisato feels she has met her in a dream. The customer smiles and enters, and Chisato and Takina welcome her together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lycoreco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Pre-Arc 2==&lt;br /&gt;
The following events, while happening likely much earlier, are integral to understanding the story of Arc 2, while being mostly unrelated to other events. For this reason, they have been grouped here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Green Jasper Diviners===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening in late March, Chiharu watches her favorite detective drama at home. After it ends, her mother answers a phone call and becomes visibly shaken. She tells Chiharu they must leave tomorrow for the Tokime Clan&#039;s village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Green Jasper Diviners|The Green Jasper Diviners]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and her mother drive deep into the mountains to a village that does not appear on any map. They are greeted by a villager and brought to the home of Mikoshiba, the elderly head priestess. Mikoshiba explains she summoned them because she wants Chiharu to become a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, two young Diviners, Shizuka and Sunao, visit Chiharu. They explain that Diviners grant wishes to help the nation and fight invisible evil spirits called Devils. To prove it, they demonstrate their powers and defeat a Devil before Chiharu&#039;s eyes. Despite her mother&#039;s concerns, Chiharu decides to become a Diviner. Mikoshiba gives Chiharu her assigned wish: to uncover evidence of crimes being concealed by the National Police Agency.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu participates in the Diviner&#039;s Ceremony. She meets Kyubey, the god&#039;s envoy, and makes her wish. She becomes a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu wakes to find her wish has already come true. A newspaper reports that officials have suddenly reversed their position on the concealed crimes. She excitedly begins combat training with Shizuka&#039;s mother.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the three girls go hunting for Devils together. Chiharu successfully defeats her first Devil. Afterward, she asks what happens when a Diviner&#039;s jewel becomes completely tainted. Shizuka admits she does not know.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Chiharu senses a mysterious, unpleasant smell near the shrine. Shizuka finds her and warns her to stay away from restricted areas. Shizuka then visits Mikoshiba to ask about tainted jewels. Mikoshiba reveals that when a jewel becomes completely tainted, it signifies the Diviner&#039;s coming of age and their time to leave the village. Shizuka is satisfied with this answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu continues sensing the strange smell near the shrine. She investigates but stops herself from going too far. Later that night, a group of Underlings attacks her without a Labyrinth. Shizuka arrives and helps her defeat them. However, Shizuka&#039;s jewel becomes badly tainted from the effort.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Mikoshiba informs Shizuka that her jewel is nearly black and her coming-of-age ceremony will be held tomorrow. Chiharu is saddened but promises to meet Shizuka again outside the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu cannot sleep. She goes to the shrine to watch Shizuka&#039;s ceremony from a distance. She sees Mikoshiba and Shizuka speaking. Shizuka becomes distressed and cries out. Mikoshiba pushes her into the waterfall basin. Chiharu runs to save her and jumps in after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and Shizuka wake up in Sunao&#039;s home. Sunao confesses she was ordered by Mikoshiba to kill anyone who defied the village&#039;s will, including them. She hesitated after hearing Shizuka&#039;s words by the river. Shizuka reveals what Mikoshiba told her during the ceremony: Diviners eventually become Devils, and the &amp;quot;coming-of-age&amp;quot; ceremony is actually a killing ritual to dispose of them. No Diviner has ever left the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three realize the entire village may be inside a Devil&#039;s Labyrinth. They decide to confront Mikoshiba and the Devil.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They split up to search. Chiharu finds her mother and Shizuka&#039;s mother fighting Underlings. Shizuka finds the villagers hiding safely but notices her mother and Chiharu&#039;s mother are missing. Sunao searches Mikoshiba&#039;s house and finds a hidden laptop with audio files recording conversations about selling Diviners&#039; wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They regroup and deduce the Devil is beneath the Grand Shrine. They descend and find Mikoshiba controlling the Devil. She admits everything: the Diviners are sold, killed when used up, and the village exists to produce them for profit. She orders the Devil to kill them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three girls fight together. Chiharu binds the Devil, Shizuka attacks, and Sunao delivers the final blow. They defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikoshiba survives but claims to remember nothing. Sunao confronts her about the recordings. Before she can explain, she bites a hidden poison tooth and dies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu searches Mikoshiba&#039;s body and finds a book written in an ancient script. Because of her family&#039;s tradition, Chiharu and her mother can read it. They stay up all night deciphering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu explains what the book revealed. The Mikoshiba clan were originally guards who seized control of the village centuries ago. They created the rituals, learned to manipulate Devils, and hid the village inside a Labyrinth to produce and sell Diviners. The Wavering Deity is a Devil formed from all the discarded Diviners. Now that the Labyrinth is gone, it is returning to the village. They must defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka&#039;s mother gives them a treasured sword infused with generations of Diviners&#039; power. They intercept the Wavering Deity before it reaches the village. The Devil&#039;s power overwhelms them, and Shizuka nearly gives in to despair. Sunao and Chiharu encourage her. Chiharu reveals the book also described the Tokime&#039;s original beliefs: they chose their own wishes, left the village willingly, and accepted their fate with honor. Shizuka regains her resolve. Together, they use the sword to destroy the Wavering Deity and free the trapped Diviners.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, the village slowly recovers. The adults learn the truth and worry about their future without Mikoshiba&#039;s financial support. The three girls decide to find a way to avoid becoming Devils. They summon Kyubey, who tells them about Kamihama City, where an automatic purification system exists. If they can obtain it, they may escape their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls prepare for their journey. Shizuka struggles with the new terminology used outside, where Diviners are called Magical Girls and Devils are called Witches. Chiharu&#039;s ability to sense malice hasn&#039;t bothered her now that the village is free. Shizuka suggests they first contact all Tokime clan members across the country and recruit Magical Girls willing to join them. Once they are ready, they will travel together to Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The village falls into financial crisis after the elder dies, having squandered most of the wealth on bad investments. Chiharu, inspired by a drama about a Shogun helping villages find their charm, recruits Shizuka and Sunao to help. The two are glad for the change, as most Tokime tribes have been unreceptive to their stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touring the village with Shizuka and Sunao, Chiharu realizes she had been arrogant and now sees its charm—clear river, abundant mountain, kind villagers. The three propose developing tourism. Chiharu’s mother agrees after a trial run with her husband’s family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trial run is messy but the family enjoys the landscape, harvesting, fishing, and hospitality. They give useful feedback, and Chiharu’s uncle notes the village’s unique fruit. They stay overnight and leave pleased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villagers applaud Chiharu for noticing what they had overlooked. Her mother begins a proposal for tourism renovation funds, and the villagers regain their energy, working in tourism and seeking outside jobs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao go to a grocery store, but Shizuka freezes in the crowd, unable to complete a simple purchase because of her sheltered upbringing. Chiharu suggests they ease her into city life with ice cream instead. Shizuka loves it, eating so quickly she gets brain freeze.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way home, Shizuka admits her mother will lecture her again about visiting the city unprepared. She asks if the others’ parents gave them similar advice. Chiharu’s parents only warned her not to waste money or follow strangers, while Sunao confesses she has never told her parents about her excursions—something Shizuka finds surprising given Sunao’s usual obedience. Shizuka advises her to tell them eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Chiharu’s house, her mother brings up a village problem: a surplus of daidaikko fruit needs to be used before it spoils. A villager working in another town found a grocery store willing to feature it in a showcase, but the only available slots are the next two days, and transportation from the village is impossible except by Diviners. Shizuka and Chiharu propose the three of them run the exhibition themselves, which would also help Shizuka adjust to the city. Sunao hesitates but agrees. Chiharu’s mother consents only if they get permission from the store and from Sunao and Shizuka’s parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sunao’s mother interrogates her until she confesses the plan, then spirals into worry about middle schoolers working without a chaperone, carrying heavy loads, and coming home after dark. Sunao asks Chiharu and Shizuka to leave, promising she will convince her parents even if it takes all night. Outside, they reflect on how anxious Sunao’s mother is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sunao has secured permission. At the store, Shizuka volunteers for the cash register but cannot operate it correctly. Sunao is tense because her parents plan to visit the next day. Their first day is a struggle: Shizuka fumbles with the register, Chiharu is distracted by traces of malice in the stocking area, and Sunao gets trapped listening to an elderly customer’s endless stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After closing, Shizuka notes how worried Sunao’s parents seem, prompting Sunao to finally share her wish. She explains that her parents became relentlessly anxious after a trip to Tokime Village, questioning her constantly until she was nearly broken. Kyubey appeared, and she wished to erase the worries her parents had concerning her. The wish worked, but their fears simply shifted—now they worry endlessly about her safety as a magical girl. Sunao feels they are always upset with her, though Chiharu insists they only want her to be safe. Shizuka says Sunao must earn their trust, and tomorrow’s exhibition needs to go perfectly. With her friends’ support, Sunao agrees to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the three tackle the exhibition with renewed determination. The day starts poorly: Shizuka causes another register problem, Chiharu is pulled away by her sense of malice, and Sunao endures a difficult customer—all while Sunao’s parents enter the store. But Shizuka, moved from the register, begins advising the clerks on how to rearrange the store to better showcase the daidaikko. She persuades them to let Chiharu investigate on her own and to trust Sunao with customer service.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu catches a shoplifter who had been repeatedly returning to the store. Sunao’s patience draws crowds after the elderly woman she helped spreads the word, and the exhibition becomes a huge success. Sunao’s parents apologize, saying they realized they had failed to see how capable she has grown. Sunao thanks Chiharu and Shizuka, then asks her parents to allow her to visit Kamihama City; now that she has her friends by her side, she knows she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Crimson Resolve===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, [[Mitsuru Inami]] is approached by Kyubey to become a Magical Girl. Having grown with her mother always telling her she was no good at anything, she wishes to become completely normal, a wish she believes came true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitsuru Inami#Side Story|Mitsuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A Magical Girl transforms into a Witch before her kouhai Yuna Kureha, and Kyubey coldly confirms that all Magical Girls share this fate. The girls of Futatsugi slaughter every Kyubey in the city, and with no incubators left, new Witches stop appearing. Starved for Grief Seeds, the girls grow desperate, and the Bloody Tragedy begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Crimson Resolve|Crimson Resolve]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna now leads Torayamachi, one of the largest gangs in Futatsugi, living by her fallen senpai&#039;s words to avoid hatred and selfishness. When Witches begin reappearing, the rival Ryuugasaki gang learns that Torayamachi has lost their secret weapon known as the Horse, and leader Juri Ooba declares war.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Janomiya, an undercover group of younger girls led by Ao Kasane, a girl named Hikaru accepts recruitment. Ao&#039;s true goal is to assassinate both Yuna and Juri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitsuru is approached by two other girls who mistake her for a new recruit for Torayamachi. Mitsuru joins Yuna&#039;s faction, hoping to blend in, but when Yuna leads them into battle against a rival faction, Mitsuru panics and hides until the fighting ends. After their defeat, Yuna suspects a spy, and fearing suspicion, Mitsuru flees and infiltrates the rival faction instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mitsuru scouts Torayamachi but is spotted, triggering another battle between the factions. During the fight, attacks aimed at Mitsuru unconsciously miss her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt; After this she gains a reputation as a &amp;quot;Ghost Magical Girl,&amp;quot; which has attacks aimed at her always deflected and hitting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;|Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna welcomes Hikaru, who claims to be fleeing Ryuugasaki, and assigns her to guard their Grief Seeds. Days pass with no attack, and Yuna&#039;s girls grow restless. To lift their spirits, Yuna reveals that the Horse is alive and watching from the shadows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri&#039;s lieutenants advise waiting to let Torayamachi&#039;s tension wear them down. After interrogating a captured thief, Juri learns of Torayamachi&#039;s defensive preparations and decides to strike in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ao encounters the Bat of Monzenbashi, a former gang leader who once exploited her. With Hikaru&#039;s help, Ao subdues and captures her rather than killing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night before battle, Juri meets Yuna on a bridge. She admits she dragged everyone into this because Yuna would not fight her otherwise, thanks her for accepting her sickness, and promises to burn her down when they next meet. Ao watches from a distance, planning to strike as the snake while the tiger and dragon clash.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the battle begins across multiple bridges. Yuna&#039;s forces push Ranka&#039;s squad back, but Juri breaks through Sakuya&#039;s defense, killing one of her girls. As both sides converge on Monzenbashi, Ao lures both leaders to a construction site where Janomiya lies in wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Janomiya attacks, wounding Juri, Hikaru reveals herself as Torayamachi&#039;s Horse, a spy planted in Janomiya from the beginning. Yuna knew everything. Janomiya is defeated, and Ao surrenders. Yuna spares her life and offers Juri an open door, but Juri swears she will break it down and drag her out. As police sirens wail, Yuna weeps over what she has done.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Juri recovers in an empty base with only Ranka remaining loyal. Ao hunts for Ranka, determined to kill her before joining Torayamachi. Hikaru pleads with Ao to return, promising that Yuna will make her dream come true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna attempts to negotiate with Ryuugasaki girls, but a meeting by the river turns into an ambush. Two of her girls are killed. She fights desperately, thinking of Hikaru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ao reaches Ryuugasaki&#039;s base, finding only the wounded Juri. Juri taunts her, but Ao refuses to join her, still believing in Yuna. Ranka contacts Ao through their video game, asking to meet alone at Janomiya&#039;s base the following night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The meeting is a trap, as Ranka has brought the Bat of Monzenbashi. As Ao fights Ranka and Hikaru fights the Bat, Ranka reveals that Yuna&#039;s meeting is also a trap. Hikaru runs to save Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the river, Yuna is surrounded. Juri arrives and challenges her to a one-on-one fight. At Janomiya&#039;s base, the other Janomiya girls arrive to help Ao corner the Bat. Ranka sincerely apologizes for everything, and Ao hesitates to deliver the final blow. At the river, Hikaru engages Juri to protect Yuna, whose Soul Gem is badly tainted. Juri refuses to kill her in this state and retreats, promising to fight again when Yuna is at full strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Most of Torayamachi has left, following Yuna&#039;s instructions to join Ryuugasaki and avoid more bloodshed. Only Hikaru remains, refusing to leave her. Ao admits she has gained respect for Yuna but remains undecided about joining.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakuya brings the missing Torayamachi girl home. The girl reveals she went to Kamihama City and joined the Wings of the Magius, an organization that built a system to lure Witches from across the country, preventing them from appearing elsewhere. The Bloody Tragedy was their fault. Yuna, hearing the screams of her fallen comrades, vows to make Kamihama pay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri meet at the construction site where Yuna&#039;s senpai died. Yuna, running on pure rage, demands Juri become hers and help with her revenge. She overpowers the wounded Juri and prepares to kill her, but Hikaru intervenes, embracing Yuna and calming her down. Ao arrives with Kyubey, who confirms everything and offers to help them reach Kamihama in exchange for a truce. Yuna accepts, and Juri, Ao, Ranka, Sakuya, and Hikaru agree to join her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, Juri, Ao, and Hikaru visit the sites where their friends died, offering flowers and vowing revenge. Yuna, Juri, and Ao drink each other&#039;s blood, swearing to never fight again. They are Promised Blood. That night, their path to Kamihama begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Ash Grey Revolution===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Yukuni, Asahi learns from classmates that the stone monument she discovered will be researched. She meets fellow magical girls Lavi and Sasha when they respond to a distress call, only to witness two magical girls witch out before them when no Grief Seeds are available. Kyubey confirms this fate, and Asahi shoots him. A local girl named Urara Yume witnesses everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Ash Grey Revolution|The Ash Grey Revolution]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, the trio struggles with the truth. Lavi is forced to reveal her identity to save her friend Shirogane from a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Sasha asks the others to be her friends and help her face reality. They begin fighting together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara begins subtly supporting them on her internet broadcast with Kurara. Asahi saves her classmate Kuroda from a Witch&#039;s Kiss, revealing her identity. He asks her to help him confess to Haitani at the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara seeks out the trio and learns the truth about Magical Girls. She offers to introduce them as guests on her festival broadcast to tell Yukuni about their existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Yukuni All-star Festival, the trio sense the Witches of the two original girls. While fighting them, one Witch escapes. A truck explodes at the festival grounds, killing Haitani. Kuroda blames Asahi and all magical girls, vowing revenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following week, public backlash intensifies. Kuroda forms an extermination group against magical girls while Shirogane forms a protector group. The trio witness another girl witch out after being cornered. Lavi takes responsibility publicly on a broadcast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio endure daily harassment. They meet folklorist Tasuke Satomi, who takes a knife for Asahi and explains his theory about magical girls being erased from history by an unseen force. He wants to help them try again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Public opinion slowly shifts. The six remaining magical girls work together, restoring some trust. Three of them sacrifice themselves rather than witch out, asking Kuroda to make peace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1725.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At a unity ceremony, the Witch that caused the festival explosion appears. Asahi summons the dead to help the exterminators find closure. The summoned spirits suddenly relive their final moments, causing a bus to crash and kill everyone aboard, including Shirogane. Urara contracts to save her dying friend Kurara, who then rejects her for letting others die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tasuke theorizes the universe&#039;s immune system caused this. He suggests eliminating all Magical Girls and Witches to create a custom preventing future contracts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the days following, students blame the trio. Kyubey suggests they go to Kamihama City to observe attempts there to publicize magical girls. Tasuke agrees they should investigate. Lavi holds a broken pocket watch with five minutes remaining until midnight, when she will finally give up. Tasuke calls it the folklore of midnight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Arc 2 Prologue===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a long time before the start of Arc 2, but it is central to its story. To keep up linearity, it&#039;s been placed here despite likely taking place a long time ago, possibly during the time of Mirrors Story, which takes place during the Undated Period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome Satori, a recent transfer student, is attacked by a Familiar in the Mirrors Labyrinth. The creature demands she sign a &amp;quot;Written Oath&amp;quot; to destroy Magical Girls. Kagome, who doesn&#039;t know anything about Magical Girls, is terrified and considers writing her name on the document to appease it, however Iroha arrives and defeats the Familiar.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Prologue|Arc 2 Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Kagome learns the truth about Magical Girls and Witches. She is distressed that Magical Girls fight and die in secret, unknown and unthanked by the people they protect. Tasuke Satomi advises Kagome that, as someone who knows the truth, her role is to &amp;quot;record&amp;quot; and spread awareness of the Magical Girls&#039; plight, as this could be a way to save them. Kagome decides against making a contract with Kyubey, prioritizing this promise to record their reality. Kyubey explains that the system, where Magical Girls become Witches, is necessary for the universe&#039;s energy and humanity&#039;s survival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Prologue|Arc 2 Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Magia Record Events==&lt;br /&gt;
===See You Tomorrow===&lt;br /&gt;
* One morning at the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira greets an older neighbor who warns her about increasing danger in the area. Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wait, You Got It Wrong!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayu Kozue&#039;s most treasured possession is a bear pendant her father carved for her before he died. When a hand-drawn postcard is stolen from the museum where she works, security footage shows her friend Ria at the scene moments later. Mayu cannot reach Ria and suspects a Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~|Wait, You Got It Wrong! / Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While searching for Ria, Mayu encounters Asuka Tatsuki, whose family&#039;s invaluable book of secrets was also stolen. A witness described a blonde girl in a Mizuna uniform—Ria. They find Sayuki Fumino crying over her stolen sword book, then Rena Minami who was bumped by the same girl. At Walnut&#039;s restaurant, Manaka Kurumi accuses Ria of stealing a rice omelet. A Witch barrier appears, and after Mayu and Asuka defeat the Familiars, Ria arrives demanding to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka challenges Ria to a duel over the thefts, and Ria loses. She confesses to something embarrassing, and everyone assumes she means the thefts—but she meant a binder of idol clippings she desperately hopes no one saw. She was only chasing the Witch to recover her own stolen belongings. Relieved, Mayu and Asuka join her. They track and defeat the Witch, recovering most items, but the museum postcard, the dojo book, and Ria&#039;s binder remain missing. They agree to search again tomorrow. That night, Mayu dreams of her father, who tells her material things are destined to break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, thefts continue across the city. Mayu realizes the Witch they defeated was only a Familiar and the real Witch is still out there. She offers her precious pendant as bait to track it. Despite Ria&#039;s protests, Mayu uses it, and they follow the magic trail to the Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After a difficult battle, they recover all stolen items, though Mayu&#039;s pendant is scratched and its chain broken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu is unbothered. She explains that material possessions naturally break, but the memories they hold remain in her heart—a lesson from her father. Asuka and Ria are moved, and Mayu turns to walk home, promptly falls into a lake, and flounders while Ria sighs that she has not changed at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the battle with Alina Gray and the Rumor of the Anonymous AI, Homura and Madoka leave for Kamihama to search for the missing Mami. Kyubey approaches Homura with a request: he wants her to take him to Kamihama, as Incubators cannot enter alone, and offers all his gathered information in exchange. Knowing what she does about him, Homura refuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Homura, Madoka, and Sayaka return to Kamihama to continue their search. They are almost immediately assaulted by the Witch Candy, which they defeat easily at first before it transforms into its true form and attacks again. When Homura attempts to stop time to save her friends, she finds the Witch is unaffected and her Soul Gem begins filling with impurities. As she succumbs, her Doppel awakens - manifesting after she uses a broken Incubator&#039;s body for knowledge and power - and unleashes its fury on the Witch. Exhausted but alive, Homura finds her Soul Gem purified. Together they finish the Witch, and Madoka suggests they visit the Coordinator Iroha told her about. Determined to become stronger, Homura agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
Big Sis = Miss K (check with Exedra)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor Onee-san. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Onee-san with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Onee-san&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Onee-san to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Always Waving my Hand at You===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Sakuya wakes from another nightmare about the Futatsugi war, where she killed her best friend. She resolves to continue her undercover mission at Iroha&#039;s school and avoid friendships at all costs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Always Waving my Hand at You|Always Waving my Hand at You / I’ll Keep Waving at You]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakuya maintains her isolation at school. After fighting a Witch, she is approached by Ryoko from the Tokime Clan, who persistently tries to befriend her despite Sakuya&#039;s refusal. Ryoko notices Sakuya&#039;s exhaustion and decides something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The following day, Ryoko investigates and discovers Sakuya hid her own shoes and started the gossip to isolate herself. Sakuya confesses she killed her best friend in the war and must remain alone to avoid hurting anyone else. Ryoko declares she will save Sakuya by becoming her best friend, and they fight until exhausted. That night, Sakuya dreams of her deceased friend, who thanks her and tells her to move forward. She wakes to find Ryoko collapsed from hunger, and they talk for hours like ordinary friends. Though they agree they cannot meet again until the battles are over, they promise to become true friends then.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the following days, Sakuya returns to normal life by socializing with classmates, sleeping better, and regaining her spirits. Ryoko gains a new goal: to free Sakuya from the things that bind her, once and for all, when the time is right.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them. The girl agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, finishing the final preparations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day of the school festival proceeds without major incident. Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, sampling food and enjoying the event. They take a photo together at the repaired arch—Tsumugi, Manaka, and the transfer student in her uniform.

* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Manor. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;

** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day.

** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts.

** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** When Lavi returns that evening, the handmade kusudama falls onto the cake and catches fire. Lavi extinguishes it with water, and Nayuta is left mortified as her surprise party fails spectacularly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Nayuta senses lingering coldness from Lavi and struggles to find the right way to apologize. Remembering her father&#039;s example, she decides to catch and cook a fish as an apology gift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day at a fishing center, Nayuta encounters girls from the Tokime clan who teach her how to gut fish. Despite being disturbed by the process, she perseveres and eventually catches the exact fish she wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning home late, Nayuta discovers a threatening letter addressed to Lavi and deduces it must be connected to the serious trouble from Lavi&#039;s hometown. She rushes to the market street with Mikage to protect her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the market street, Nayuta confronts the man speaking with Lavi, declaring herself as Satomi Tasuke&#039;s daughter to intimidate him. The man reveals he is simply a stalker with no connection to Lavi&#039;s past, and when he becomes agitated, Nayuta tackles him unconscious as a crowd applauds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Nayuta presents the cooked fish and apologizes. Lavi admits she was barely angry anymore and thanks Nayuta for protecting her, acknowledging she was just like her father in that moment. Nayuta produces a second kusudama and cake, and this time the celebration succeeds. As they pick confetti from the cake, Lavi quietly says she will continue to admire Nayuta until the final day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Magia Record Event - The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf|The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo bumps into Tsuruno on a day when school is out. Yachiyo has a job performing in a recorded drama with Sayuki that will be screened on Tanabata. Tsuruno recalls Yachiyo&#039;s poor performance in Karin&#039;s Halloween play and decides to join her to help. Yachiyo welcomes her.&lt;br /&gt;
** On set, Ria and Mayu are assisting with makeup and costumes. Yachiyo recognizes Ria, calls her by name, and praises her work, causing Ria to internally fangirl. Yachiyo grows anxious seeing so many Magical Girls gathered, recalling how a previous production with magical girls turned into a disaster. Tsuruno reassures her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wins over the production team with her exuberance. The play&#039;s co-star drops out, and the director asks Tsuruno to take the role. She eagerly accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a fairy tale about an ancient Mizuna legend. Two girls, Tsuyu and Chizuru, befriend each other despite their families&#039; rivalry and join forces to punish a selfish lord. Yachiyo plays Tsuyu, the ice queen with a heart of gold. Tsuruno plays Chizuru, the cheerful and impetuous girl. Sayuki plays the Magpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** During the script reading, everyone realizes Yachiyo&#039;s acting skills are still terrible. Yachiyo confides that she has turned down many acting jobs but accepted this one because the director begged her, even if she flops. She vows to see it through to expand her repertoire. Tsuruno promises to stay by her side.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria is in shock seeing her idol perform poorly. The filmmakers work around it by taking away Yachiyo&#039;s lines. Ria confronts Yachiyo and Tsuruno after the reading, declaring she will give Yachiyo an acting bootcamp. She does not want Yachiyo&#039;s performance to drag down her makeup work or her reputation as Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at home, Yachiyo reviews the script. Tsuruno explains the Mizuna fairy tale to the rest of Mikazuki. Felicia becomes interested when she learns there are fight scenes. Tsuruno explains that the day Tsuyu and Chizuru teamed up was Tanabata, and people in Kamihama entrust their wishes to them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next week or so, Yachiyo is drilled on acting with a professional coach and Ria&#039;s guidance. She eventually executes her lines perfectly and Ria is relieved.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sea is a Link Through Time /  The Call of the Open Sea===&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. There&#039;s two different versions at hand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Momoko and Mitama arrive at a resort near a village with a legend about a Diviner who eloped with a sailor and sank with stolen treasure. Mitama reveals they are actually there to hunt for this treasure based on a fairy tale Mikage heard. While exploring the private beach, they encounter Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao from the Tokime Clan, who stumbled there by accident. The group decides to spend the day together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|The Call of the Open Sea]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, they attend a festival in a nearby village that turns out to be a branch of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka learns the villagers consider Diviners a superstition. Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Promised Blood&#039;s base, Yuna notices her teammates have been acting strangely, as Sakuya reads romance columns, Juri studies constantly, and Urara stares at Hikaru without speaking. After the meeting, Yuna confides in Hikaru that she feels guilty for not noticing everyone&#039;s exhaustion and decides to solve each person&#039;s problems personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend. Though relieved it&#039;s not her own love life, Yuna insists on helping anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s place, the group brainstorms confession advice. The conversation shifts when Ao receives a text from her parents—she&#039;s been lying to them about her late nights as a magical girl, claiming she&#039;s in an e-sports tournament. To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the online tournament, chaos ensues as Juri attacks teammates, Hikaru sets the kitchen on fire, and Yuna fails at selling merchandise. Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the student council meeting, Yuna honestly requests more time to handle personal matters, promising to dedicate herself fully afterward. The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Onee-san, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Felicia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward. Kyubey finds a fuming Felicia, who decides to hire herself out as a mercenary to other magical girls for money or Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Felicia Mitsuki#Side Story|Felicia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia encounters Asuka and Sasara and defeats a witch for them, but they let her keep the Grief Seed and leave without paying, leaving her frustrated. Kako appears, concerned, but Felicia rejects her harshly and immediately regrets it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia helps defeat the witch and collapses from exhaustion, silently vowing to destroy every witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Touka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Hazuki and Nanaka team up with Ui to teach her how to defeat witches. Ui claims her first victory and receives a grief seed as a reward while Touka and Nemu tag along to offer congratulations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui suddenly realizes she loves the choir and wants to become a music teacher. She excitedly shares this revelation with her family and friends and resolves to work hard toward this future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over. When Kyubey appears, together they wish the same thing: to never hate each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present at the abandoned museum, the Amanes relay how they met to Alina at her demand. She leaves without harming them, claiming their story inspired her art. The Amanes are relieved, and Tsukuyo suggests they play their flutes at the shrine on the way home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo thinks the flute&#039;s song has always warmed her heart, while Tsukasa reflects it is a bridge connecting her to her sister. Both affirm that their only allies are each other, and they will always be together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends. Before Hibari&#039;s family moved away, she performed a charm ritual on Aru and promised they would meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message that Hibari is coming to visit Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives and they plan to visit an arcade. Along the way they encounter Himena&#039;s group and later help a lost Shizuka. After some confusion about directions, they reach the arcade where Hibari wins a crane game prize and helps Juri win one too. Hibari suddenly becomes pale and goes to get change, but she does not return. Kagome calls her and Hibari thanks her for being friends before saying goodbye, with an ambulance audible in the background.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome discovers a crowd under a Witch&#039;s Kiss heading toward a rooftop and sends emergency messages to every Magical Girl she knows. Himena&#039;s group arrives to help hold back the crowd, but other girls cannot come due to similar incidents elsewhere. Shizuka finally checks her phone and rushes over with the Tokime Clan just as someone threatens to ignite kerosene. They stop the crowd while Juri and Ao defeat the Witch with Livia&#039;s help. The Witch&#039;s Kiss is lifted and Hibari wakes up confused, with Livia covering that she collapsed from anemia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari admits she felt faint because seeing Kagome surrounded by friends made her happy but also made her feel left behind and alone. Kagome insists Hibari is wrong and promises to come running whenever Hibari is in trouble, asking them to stay best friends forever. Hibari reveals the two wishes she made when they parted came true: that she could speak her mind loudly and that Kagome would make lots of friends. They renew their promise to remain best friends forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari. They bonded over a shared love of &amp;quot;The Adventure of Mandragora.&amp;quot; Hibari gave Kagome a Mandragora plushie named Al-chan and asked to be friends. Kagome learned ventriloquism through Al-chan and grew more confident. The two became inseparable.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kagome&#039;s family moved due to her father&#039;s job transfer, Hibari put a charm on Al-chan with a secret wish. They promised to meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message from Hibari saying she will visit Kamihama. Kagome prepares to show her around.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives in Kamihama. Kagome is happy to see her. They go to the arcade. On the way, they run into Himena and her group. Kagome introduces Hibari. Later, Kagome helps Shizuka, who was lost and struggling with a foreigner. Hibari is impressed by how much Kagome has grown.&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the arcade. Hibari wins a plushie from a difficult crane game in one try. Juri, Yuna, and Ao appear. Juri asks Hibari to win a prize for her. Hibari succeeds. Juri offers a drink as thanks, but Hibari declines.&lt;br /&gt;

Juri and Ao go to defeat it while Kagome and Yuna search for Hibari. Kagome receives a call from Hibari, who says goodbye and hangs up. Kagome fears the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large group of people under Witch&#039;s Kisses begins heading toward a rooftop. Kagome coordinates with nearby Magical Girls for help. Himena, Shigure, Miyuri, and Yuna hold them off. Reinforcements from other Magical Girls are delayed due to incidents elsewhere. The situation grows dire.&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka finally checks her phone and sees Kagome&#039;s emergency messages. The Tokime Clan arrives and helps stop the crowd. Juri and Ao defeat the Witch. Livia appears to assist. Everyone is safe.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hibari wakes up. Livia explains she fainted due to anemia. Hibari admits she felt left behind seeing Kagome surrounded by friends. Kagome reassures Hibari that she is still immature and needs her friend. Hibari reveals her secret wishes from childhood: that Kagome would speak her mind and make many friends. They promise to remain best friends forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yuna&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna and Hikaru discuss school troubles. A girl complains about a PE teacher who measured her skirt length and made her late for class. Yuna promises to discuss the matter with the Student Council. Later, Yuna sighs about her recent troubles—adjusting school rules has led to protests from the Parents&#039; Association. She also has to deal with Ooba Juri. Hikaru pledges to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yunass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yuna Kureha#Side Story|Yuna&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* During training, Senpai notices Yuna and Hikaru are troubled. Yuna confesses her doubts about using force against Juri and about how she became Student Council President. She explains she made a wish to Kyubey to twist the minds of the Parents&#039; Association when they opposed her election. Senpai tells Yuna she is not wrong—she acted for others&#039; sake. Senpai advises her to take responsibility to the end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yunass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Yuna holds a meeting with the Parents&#039; Association and teachers to discuss school rule changes. The Parents&#039; Association opposes loosening rules on hair color and hairstyle. Yuna argues that freedom develops autonomy. Hikaru testifies that quitting her club to support Yuna&#039;s campaign improved her grades. The principal proposes a one-year trial. The Parents&#039; Association agrees. Yuna reveals she had already negotiated with the principal and teachers in advance. Hikaru praises her like a politician.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yunass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Senpai gives Yuna a fountain pen as a celebratory gift for her Student Council inauguration. Senpai was once a Student Council President herself and shares her experiences. She advises Yuna: &amp;quot;Don&#039;t hate, don&#039;t be jealous, and don&#039;t be selfish. Always work hard for others, and pray for peace.&amp;quot; Yuna promises to cherish the pen and the words. Senpai suggests they go somewhere together as friends.

* Hikaru Kirari struggles during lacrosse practice. The advisor criticizes her lack of seriousness and tells her she is not playing with full effort. Hikaru reflects on her past—she has quit many activities after losing interest, including trumpet, tennis, karate, and calligraphy.

They accept it with kindness, which hurts her even more.

* Day 4&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri struggled at school, frustrated by classmates who avoided conflict and teachers who enabled them. Her anger built up. She reflected on how she became a Magical Girl—she wished for a patient, stout heart to stay in school and not burden her father. The wish gave her patience but did not eliminate her anger; it built up as flames until she exploded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Juriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl Yuna introduced continued to spar with Juri. The girl revealed Juri had saved her from a Witch, and she admired Juri.

After thinking it over, she searches for information with help from others, but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hinano explains that because the agreement fell through, local manufacturers like Kanoko’s father stayed in business, so there was little news. Chiharu and Sunao arrange a meeting at the factory and bring Shizuka. Kanoko’s father tells Shizuka his factory would have failed otherwise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Shigure and Hagumu grow close but quickly become jaded. Their families and classmates resent their constant lateness, which comes from Magius work no one can know about.

* Hagumu reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. After Walpurgisnacht, the organization dissolved, and many former Feathers joined the Kamihama Magia Union. Hagumu is uncertain, as she believes in Magical Girl Supremacy and cannot accept the Union&#039;s ideology of liberation without sacrifice. Shigure contacts her, asking to meet and talk. Shigure wants to convince Touka and Nemu to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Hagumu is conflicted—she cannot trust the Magius after being exploited, but she also cannot decide what to do. She asks for time to think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hagumu Azumi#Side Story|Hagumu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu meets Maria, a former Magius member who joined the Union. Maria notices Hagumu looks unwell and offers to listen. Hagumu explains her dilemma: she cannot agree with the Union&#039;s ideology, but she also cannot follow Shigure&#039;s plan. Maria suggests Hagumu ask other Magical Girls how they decided. Hagumu recalls her wish was made in haste to save a woman under a Witch&#039;s Kiss, and she regrets not choosing a better wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Moka why she joined the Union. Moka says she joined because she was invited and everyone is kind.

** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches. Hagumu is moved but asks for more time to discuss it with Shigure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish. San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri learned her new power shortened her experience of anxiety. She became more confident but still fainted easily. She fought Witches alone, often blacking out and going berserk. She encountered the Wings of the Magius while chasing a Witch. Her Doppel emerged. San appeared as the Instructor, defeated the Witch, and fended off the Doppel. San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training. Touka and Nemu suggested San should train Miyuri since she could still hear San&#039;s voice when unconscious. San agreed and became Miyuri&#039;s instructor. Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present) Back at the Community Center, Miyuri finishes her story. She does not regret her wish because it led her to become San&#039;s secret weapon and join Neo-Magius. Himena and the others leave, leaving San and Miyuri alone and Miyuri is mitten with San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Lavi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Lavi wakes Nayuta with the smell of natto. Mikage arrives urgently, asking to interview Lavi for her web newspaper assignment. Lavi agrees on the condition that her privacy is respected. Nayuta spills milk at breakfast, and Lavi wipes it up, explaining that milk can be used to clean silverware.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi goes shopping with Mikage and Nayuta. At the vegetable shop, the owner thanks Lavi for her gardening advice. A woman gives Lavi fresh eggs as thanks for organic vegetables from Lavi&#039;s grandfather. Mikage notices Lavi knows many housewives. Nayuta realizes she knows little about Lavi&#039;s past.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi explains she used to have a frail body as a child due to an unidentifiable condition. Her grandfather grew organic vegetables, which eased her symptoms. However, a severe storm destroyed the field&#039;s soil, making it impossible to grow vegetables. Lavi wished to restore the soil and became a Magical Girl. Her wish saved the field and gave hope to others. She admits her improved health was partly due to becoming a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage wants to make the newspaper more interesting, so Lavi offers to demonstrate &amp;quot;newsworthy&amp;quot; housework. She cooks lunch while Mikage records. Nayuta and Mikage try to help but ruin the dish with too much seasoning. They are distraught, but Lavi salvages it using cabbage and eggs. The meal is delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After making the newspaper, Nayuta and Mikage fall asleep. Lavi reflects on her past. She reveals that she never found joy in living despite her family&#039;s efforts. Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true. She asks for a little more time in her beloved daily life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Asahi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime Tribe holds a celebration to welcome Asahi. During introductions, Chiharu rambles excitedly about her favorite shows, and Asahi finds herself intrigued. When pressed to share more about herself, Asahi talks about hunting and the importance of minimizing suffering. That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun. Everyone apologizes, and they end the day with a shared dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Alexandra&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Re-analyze and structure this. It is a double-story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra dreams of her school days. She sees her past self smiling and realizes she is dreaming of the time she was in love. In the dream, she discusses love with Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu. Himena shares a romantic story about stargazing with Hiko. When Himena asks about their own love lives, Alexandra begins crying unexpectedly. She denies anything is wrong, but Himena apologizes for being insensitive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Alexandra Kurusu#Side Story|Alexandra&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, Alexandra&#039;s teacher appears—but he looks like Shigure. Other people appear as Himena and Hagumu. She recalls that her teacher was her math teacher and club advisor. He was strict and had a reputation for being scary. Alexandra remembers how she would complain about him with her classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After club activities, Alexandra wants to practice singing more. She goes to the rooftop and finds the teacher there. He allows her to practice under his supervision. They begin meeting regularly on the rooftop. She learns he does not smoke and is careful about his throat. He mentions that being an adult is not that great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A male classmate confesses to Alexandra. She almost accepts but pictures the teacher&#039;s face and realizes she loves someone else. She rejects the classmate. Later, it rains, and the teacher lends her his towel. She realizes she has fallen in love with him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra begins trying to appeal to the teacher daily. She asks about his relationship status and learns he is single. She indirectly describes him when talking about her type. She leaves a love letter in his shoe locker. He thinks it is a prank but recognizes her handwriting. She keeps trying to convey her feelings, but he never takes her seriously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra&#039;s behavior becomes obvious in class. She eagerly volunteers to answer questions and is overly happy when called on. Her classmates are amazed she can talk to the scary teacher so cheerfully. She learns everyone fears him. She asks why he became a teacher, and he admits his parents were teachers and he had wanted to be a singer but never pursued it. He wonders if there is any meaning to his life. Alexandra feels sorrow and wants him to be happy. She begins planning to improve his reputation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey appears and offers to grant any wish. Alexandra wants to capture the teacher&#039;s heart through her own efforts. She decides not to make a wish yet. She organizes a surprise birthday party for him with her classmates. He is genuinely happy and thanks her. He realizes she planned it. She tells him all the students respect him. He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra continues her jokes and attempts to get closer to the teacher. She jokes about marriage and asks for a date on the school trip. He unexpectedly agrees to go shopping with her for a few minutes. She hugs him in excitement. A classmate spots them on the rooftop. Rumors spread quickly. The principal calls the teacher in. He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra cannot wake up from the dream. She imagines the teacher scolding her for playing with his feelings. She decides she needs to apologize in real life. She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love. She tells him her feelings were not a deception—they were true love. She thanks him for a wonderful time and says she now only places her faith in Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Urara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara volunteers to do grocery shopping for Lavi. At the supermarket, she gets distracted by flash sales and buys beef, bean sprouts, and curry ingredients. She forgets Lavi&#039;s shopping list. Lavi forgives her but asks her to be more self-controlled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Urara Yume#Side Story|Urara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Urara announces she is returning to Yukuni to quit her talent agency. Lavi insists on accompanying her for safety due to the Magical Girl eradication faction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara and Lavi travel to Yukuni. Urara loses her wallet, but Lavi finds it. At the agency, Urara&#039;s manager asks her to coach a children&#039;s diabolo class as a final job. Urara accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the diabolo class, Urara teaches the class alone. Some children struggle to follow her teaching style. Lavi, Alexandra, and Asahi watch from a distance. During lunch, Urara admits she cannot explain techniques well. Lavi analyzes the wrist angles and timing, and the others offer to help. The class is a success.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Urara feels inadequate and misses her former partner, Kurara. She remembers Kurara was better at teaching. Lavi notices Urara is depressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Several days later, Urara returns to Yukuni to pick up her resignation papers. Lavi accompanies her. Urara admits she misses Kurara. Lavi warns her that reconciliation is unlikely, but Urara insists on trying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the agency, Urara confronts Kurara. Kurara reveals she always resented being compared to Urara&#039;s natural talent and felt like &amp;quot;Not-Urara.&amp;quot; She says breaking up the duo was for the best and asks Urara to stop involving herself. Urara is devastated. She returns to Kamihama and cries to Lavi, who comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Urara receives a message from her manager. A girl named Rei from the diabolo class wants more lessons. Urara agrees to meet her. Rei wants to learn the &amp;quot;Urara Special&amp;quot; to beat a prodigy her age. Urara remembers how she unknowingly hurt Kurara by copying her tricks too easily. She decides to coach Rei properly. Lavi offers to stay and help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara and Rei practice together. Lavi advises on timing. Rei successfully performs the trick. Urara tells her to remember the joy of performing, not just winning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rei competes and wins her first cup by performing the Urara Special, a trick even the prodigy could not do. Rei thanks Urara. Urara realizes that coaching helped her grow and face her regrets about Kurara. Rei asks Urara to be her permanent coach. Urara agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara returns to the Folklore base. She announces she will continue coaching diabolo classes. She wants to pass down her goal of making people smile through diabolo acts to the next generation. Lavi and the others support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Urarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nayuta&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta dreams of proving folkloric studies superior to Touka, but Lavi wakes her with obnoxious humming. Lavi scolds her for being a deep sleeper and rushes her to school in Takarazaki City, where Nayuta complains that Lavi acts like a stern stepmother rather than a kind maid her age.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In class, a self‑assessment exercise has Nayuta describe herself as quiet and diligent, but her peers call her stubborn, someone who hates losing and speaks her mind. She reluctantly accepts “stubborn” fits her persistent search for her father. The teacher introduces the Johari Window, explaining that without communication people understand themselves at most fifty percent and others only twenty‑five percent—a lesson that sticks with Nayuta.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Nayuta meets Iroha at the train station. Both are surprised the other remembers them. They discover they are the same grade and both hail from Takarazaki, and Iroha mentions she also searched for a lost loved one. Nayuta requests to see Yachiyo, apologizing for her bluntness. Iroha reassures her, noting they are both stubborn junior‑high girls from Takarazaki who came to Kamihama to find someone important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Yachiyo has no new information about Nayuta’s father. Tsuruno has Nayuta show a photo, but no one recognizes him. Felicia suggests Nayuta simply ask Touka, since she also grew up at Satomi Medical Center. Nayuta refuses, saying she cannot trust Touka, and apologizes for her stubbornness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Nayuta admits to Lavi she slept poorly because she cannot stop thinking about Touka. Mikage arrives, upset after a fight with Sudachi: Mikage complained about school, Sudachi said she envied Mikage for being able to attend, and they argued over whose position was harder.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home. Lavi approves of her standing her ground, and Nayuta realizes she and Lavi are more alike than she thought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, classmates who used to bully her avoid her, but Mikage is determined to find Magical Girl friends. Himika tells her about Emiri’s counseling center, so they go there together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the center, Emiri, Sasara, Asuka, and Kanoko are delighted to meet Mitama’s little sister. Mikage explains she is looking for a friend, but Emiri points out they are already her friends. After some banter about fashion, Mikage tries on Kanoko’s outfits and has a wonderful time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mikage wonders if the older girls truly see her as a friend or just as a kid. Himika suggests she meet girls her own age like Ui, Touka, and Nemu, though Mikage is uncertain about befriending the geniuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When she returns home, Mitama warns her that Ui has been kidnapped by Promised Blood and forbids Mikage from associating with the Kamihama Magia Union. Mikage reluctantly agrees but is frustrated her efforts to make friends have been stopped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama leaves for work and Mikage accuses her of hypocrisy—Mitama can spend time with the KMU while Mikage cannot. She runs out, declaring she will find a new big sister. She finds Emiri’s office closed but runs into Rika and Ren, who quickly realize she is Mitama’s sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Mikage bond over fashion and go to some cheap stores, where Mikage realizes she left her wallet. They play a crane game instead, and Rika wins stuffed animals for Ren and Mikage. Mikage asks Rika to be her big sister; Rika declines but encourages her to talk to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory. Kanoko lets her help make a pendant, but before Mikage can convince her to become her sister, Mitama arrives and drags her home. Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any. Later, she finds Mitama has made all her favorite foods, and they reconcile off‑screen; Mikage gives Mitama the pendant she made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yozuru plays piano at a pharmacist’s request, impressing everyone, then meets Livia Medeiros and Sudachi Sawa. Sudachi exposes Mifuyu, who decides to introduce herself directly. Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited again. She jokes about the visitor&#039;s persistence. Yozuru and Sudachi return from stocking up on essentials. Sudachi trips, and Yozuru hesitates to help. Livia instructs Yozuru to help Sudachi stand and dust her off. Yozuru apologizes and explains she is not equipped with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the trailer, Yozuru offers tea. Sudachi wants teacakes. Livia allows them to have some as a treat. Livia reflects that she needs to help the girls mature. Yozuru has lost compassion, while Sudachi needs to find her words. Livia believes they will complement each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is found sleeping and crying. Yozuru gives her a handkerchief. Livia says crying in sleep happens occasionally and is common among Coordinators. She thanks Sudachi for finding her dropped ring. Sudachi sulks when Livia refuses to give her sweets as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the ring is a treasure and a way of reprimanding herself. It is the reason she lives for &amp;quot;Mister Sun.&amp;quot; She says she may tell the full story another time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia shares her philosophy: no matter how awful life is, do not drift in a bad direction or relieve resentment with a curse. Magical Girls are born from hope and must overcome struggles with hope. She warns against corrupting purity and urges supporting those with pure hearts. She says she has said enough for now and will share the rest when she is ready. She asks the visitor to promise to live strong, face forward, and not end up like her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Ryo loses sight of Lil&#039; Kyubey. She finds a girl with potential who may have received a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and helps fight the Witch alongside Nanaka. After the battle, Nanaka explains Lil&#039; Kyubey followed her into the labyrinth and returned a flower she dropped. Nanaka asks Ryo to tell Lil&#039; Kyubey to stop visiting unfriendly Magical Girls. Ryo realizes Lil&#039; Kyubey avoids girls with potential and is not soliciting anyone. She writes an article correcting her earlier suspicions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices.

* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sasara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara is taken hostage at knifepoint in a convenience store. Despite her desire to be a knight, she is too terrified to act. Though the police arrest the criminal and she is safe, Sasara feels ashamed and hates herself for her cowardice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sasara Minagi#Side Story|Sasara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sasara meets Kyubey and when he makes his offer, Sasara accepts without hesitation. As her father works for an emergency rescue squad, a job she admires, he gave her a favorite picture book about a knight who defeats a dragon to save a village. Sasara carries this book everywhere and has always wanted to be like her father and the knight. She wishes to become a knight who can protect and save people, asking for a stronger heart and stronger convictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Sasara has been hunting witches and saving their victims ever since making her contract. She calls herself the Knight who protects the people of Kamihama, but over time her feelings become tainted. The people she rescues never remember what happened and do not acknowledge her. Sasara realizes she wants someone to appreciate her and questions whether she really wanted to become a knight at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book. She thought she could accept the people she helped not talking to her, but now it feels like she does not even exist. When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nanaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Needs to be re-checked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako to ask for their help fighting a witch they all share a connection to. To explain why she needs them, Nanaka tells them how she became a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka&#039;s father headed a traditional Japanese flower arranging school, but when he fell ill, senior students took over and grew the school&#039;s popularity while abandoning its traditions, shutting out Nanaka&#039;s family entirely. On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform.

** When Akira started middle school, a girl asked her to be a bodyguard against a stalker. The girl brought her to a park, confessed her love, and admitted to lying about the stalker.

** The day Akira found the barrier, she retraced the girl&#039;s steps in the park and stepped into a witch&#039;s labyrinth. She found the missing girl among blank-faced victims marked by a Witch&#039;s Kiss.

** After becoming a magical girl, Akira patrolled Kamihama investigating witch-related incidents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** A few days later, Nanaka called asking for a favor. When they met again, Nanaka requested a duel, claiming Akira was weak and should quit hunting witches. Akira refused, citing her family&#039;s dojo, and they dueled. After some fighting, Nanaka ended the duel and apologized.

Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;

** Sakuya, Yuna, and Hikaru discuss Sakuya&#039;s problem. Yuna deduces Sakuya is unsatisfied because she cannot compete meaningfully—using magic makes her times inhuman, so she feels her achievements are not truly hers. Sakuya admits track is everything to her; she used her wish to allow her team to compete after a violent incident got them suspended. Yuna suggests Sakuya might find accomplishment through coaching others, using her experience to help them grow. A Witch appears, and they fight. During the battle, Hikaru is distracted by worrying about Sakuya and cannot control her army properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sakuyass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, Tsumugi and Ria eat at Walnuts. Manaka is surprised by Tsumugi&#039;s improved reviews and lifts any implied ban. Tsumugi wants to fill Walnuts with people, but Manaka says she prefers just Tsumugi coming to enjoy her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the event, Tsumugi cries and confesses disappointment that none of her followers came, feeling she is just an average student with no unique qualities. Ria encourages her not to let failure discourage her, insisting she has talent. Tsumugi decides to make a contract with Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Walnuts afterward, Tsumugi honestly criticizes Manaka&#039;s omelette, explaining her wish now forces her to tell the truth about food. In a flashback, she wished to help Manaka by learning what she could do. She realized she needed to give objective criticism to truly help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsumugiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ren&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren stands on a rooftop, contemplating suicide. Kyubey warns her that if she repeats her previous actions, her Soul Gem will be destroyed. Ren understands. She thinks about how people have always said hurtful things and believes she cannot live in such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nearby, Rika defeats a Witch and sees Ren about to jump. She saves her and asks why she wants to die. Ren cannot answer. She reflects on her childhood: she has always had trouble speaking and was teased and bullied for it. She attempted suicide once before but was scared of dying. Kyubey appeared and granted her wish to live.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explained that the bullying was caused by a Witch&#039;s influence—Witches hurt people, who then hurt others. Ren resolved to destroy Witches to create a better world. However, no matter how many Witches she defeated, people still acted cruelly. Kyubey told her that even destroying all Witches would not remove malice from people&#039;s hearts. This is why Ren wanted to die again, but she cannot explain any of this to Rika.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika takes Ren to meet other Magical Girls. At Emiri&#039;s Trouble Consultation Office, Ren meets Akira but cannot introduce herself and nearly cries. Emiri brings her to Ria, who gives her hand cream, and Konomi, who gives her chamomile tea. Rika then takes Ren to the chemistry club, where Hinano gives her candy instead of medicine. They visit Kanoko at her family&#039;s metal factory, where Kanoko shows a dress she designed with mushroom motifs and gives Ren accessories made of metal sheets. Emiri leaves, and Rika admits she never actually listened to Ren&#039;s problem.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika shares her own story: she wished for someone she loved to love her back, even though that person already liked someone else. She says she stole that love with a selfish wish and asks Ren if she thinks she is a horrible person. Ren manages to say she does not think so. Rika is relieved. She explains that to get others to open up, you must share the secrets that create distance.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren tries to tell her story but cannot get the words out and begins crying. Rika tells her not to force herself. She shows Ren all the gifts she received from the others and says that if all these people were thinking about her, she should continue to live. She says the world is filled with both bad and beautiful things, and the most painful thing is to have nothing. Ren says she will live. Rika leaves, and Ren thanks her. Ren thinks that if Rika can accept her story, she will be able to live forever.&lt;br /&gt;

Hazuki offers to handle meals from now on, which prompts Konoha to resolve that she will learn to make delicious food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konoha Shizumi#Side Story|Konoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She makes a disastrous meal incorporating everything she read, and Hazuki collapses after tasting it. Ayame brings home a flyer for a cooking class at &amp;quot;Youshoku Walnuts,&amp;quot; noting that the food there made Hazuki cry. Ayame encourages Konoha, and Konoha resolves to take the class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Konoha meets the teacher, Manaka Kurumi, at the restaurant. Manaka attempts to teach knife skills and how to crack eggs, but Konoha struggles with both. Manaka promises to help her improve. She has Konoha make practice dishes, but Konoha burns oil, over-dashes rice, and explodes miso soup, so Manaka has to take over each time. When finished, Manaka tastes it, insists it&#039;s good to protect her reputation, eats it all, and passes out. Konoha tries the leftovers and confirms it is truly terrible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha hunts a witch with her team while distracted by thoughts about cooking.

Hazuki says she will prepare dinner at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, at Himika&#039;s house, Konoha and Ayame observe the cramped living space. Himika explains she uses cheap leftover meat blends from a disposal man to feed her family. She serves dinner, and all her siblings along with Ayame eat. When Konoha asks if the food is tasty, the siblings say they never think it&#039;s bad because Himika does her best. Konoha reflects on Azalea&#039;s House and realizes she was too focused on theory rather than on who she was cooking for. She thanks Himika and leaves with Ayame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, Ayame and Hazuki find Konoha cooking again. Konoha promises to give up if she fails this time. Focusing on her feelings rather than theory, she makes a meal from Azalea&#039;s. Hazuki and Ayame try it and say it&#039;s bad, but it&#039;s edible. Konoha is excited that someone could actually eat her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ayame returns home to find Konoha cooking again. Hazuki observes that Konoha has found joy in the act of cooking.

===Hazuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame meet with Nanaka, Meiyui, Akira, and Kako at a restaurant to discuss how to handle situations where both teams target the same Witch. Meiyui proposes a first-come, first-served rule, but Hazuki points out it would lead to disputes over who arrived first. Ayame suggests settling conflicts with rock-paper-scissors, and though Meiyui argues there&#039;s no time for games in battle, Hazuki has them try it on the spot. When Ayame and Meiyui play, Meiyui uses a martial arts technique to change Ayame&#039;s hand, causing an argument between the groups. Hazuki calms everyone down and suggests they go home for the day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hazuki Yusa#Side Story|Hazuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls reconvene at the restaurant. Hazuki proposes a new rule: anyone who uses magic against a Witch gains proportional rights to the Grief Seed. Both teams agree, and Hazuki suggests they gather data by hunting together. They split into mixed teams—Ayame and Kako form one; Hazuki, Akira, and Meiyui another and Konoha and Nanaka stand by to help as needed. After the successful joint hunt, Nanaka meets with Hazuki alone at the restaurant. She reveals she believes Hazuki manipulated the entire situation from the first meeting, noting that her team was impressed with Hazuki&#039;s group&#039;s teamwork but that she herself was more struck by Hazuki&#039;s modus operandi. Nanaka asks why Hazuki orchestrated everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki admits she wanted Konoha, who is introverted, to connect with others and that after the Witch fight, Konoha seemed genuinely happy. She explains her goal was simply to build connections between her group and other Kamihama Magical Girls. Nanaka accepts this and says she&#039;s glad to work with her. Later, Hazuki writes in her notebook that Nanaka is shrewd but fascinating, and she resolves to continue reaching out to other Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Ayame encounters Felicia during a Witch fight, and their rivalry quickly escalates when Felicia dismisses Ayame&#039;s challenge to lead the girls to argue and accidentally let the Witch escape. Frustrated by losing to Felicia specifically, Ayame confronts her afterward, and despite Kako&#039;s attempts to mediate, the two insist on settling things through some competition. Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch. Emerging back in the park, Felicia thanks Ayame, and they realize the race was never finished.

She became a magical girl thinking her dull life might finally become interesting, but even that eventually grew boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead.

** Kokoro apologizes, but Masara claims she only did what was most logical, since the Witch could not have been defeated alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help. Masara agrees and tells Kokoro to call her next time.

===Konomi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi welcomes Kaede and Kako to the flower shop where she works part-time. She began working at Blossom because the florist once comforted her as a crying child with a single flower, and now Konomi does the same for other children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konomi Haruna#Side Story|Konomi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a customer leaves, Kaede and Kako help the florist carry supplies. The florist recently returned from the hospital, having survived a serious illness. Konomi remembers the day she found an ambulance outside and learned the shop might close. Desperate to help, she wished to Kyubey to cure the florist&#039;s illness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;!--The Flashback: Their First Meeting--&amp;gt;Kaede and Kako visit the shop for the first time. Kako searches for a specific flower, which Konomi identifies. During tea break, Kako explains she read about the flowers in a novel and wants to buy some for a friend&#039;s birthday. Kaede admits she has never given flowers but receiving them once felt wonderful. Konomi smiles and says she has an idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of the flower giveaway, Konomi, Kaede, and Kako take to the streets, suddenly appearing to hand bouquets to strangers before disappearing. A lottery winner, a despairing old man, and a boy who just got a girl&#039;s number all receive flowers. Later, the girls reunite. Kaede gave to ten people, Kako to thirteen. Konomi apologizes, but they agree to try again the day after tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Konomi, Kaede, and Kako realize they are the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi panics, fearing they have made people hate flowers. They notice a little girl crying because her mother refused to buy her a toy ring. Konomi offers a flower, but the girl wants a ring. Kako fashions the flower into a ring, and the girl calls it pretty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi realizes they have been giving flowers without understanding what recipients truly want. She decides to create something more meaningful. Inspired by Kaede&#039;s mention of birthday flowers and Kako&#039;s knowledge of flower language, they plan an arrangement that speaks to people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi and the girls create a birthday cake made of fifty flowers, with chocolate and candy inside. The cake incorporates birth flowers so greetings can be communicated through their language. They prepare a fair at the shop to showcase it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi shows the cake to the florist, who gives a muted reaction and announces her retirement, planning to leave Konomi the shop.

===Rika&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Hinano, Emiri, Ria, Manaka, Akira&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Rika is invited to a blind date by Emiri Kisaki, who brings along Hinano Miyako, a girl recently heartbroken. When the boys on the date mock Hinano&#039;s youthful appearance and odd way of speaking, Rika surprises her by defending them. Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her. Emiri and Rika quickly reassure Hinano, with Rika adding that Hinano is actually cool for having been able to confess her feelings—unlike Rika, who never confessed at all and watched her crush end up with someone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri then suggests Rika should make a wish, revealing that she and Hinano are magical girls who each received one wish in exchange for fighting monsters. Rika wonders if this is some kind of game. Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika muses that her wish was granted and she is now dating her crush, yet she feels deeply unhappy. When Kyubey asks what is wrong, she admits that every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens with unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day, Mayu is a third-year student at Mizuna Academy who works part-time at the Kamihama Contemporary Art Museum. When she accidentally breaks the museum director&#039;s cup, her boss handles the situation calmly and kindly. After work, she meets her friend Sayuki Fumino outside the museum, and when Sayuki cannot stay, Mayu&#039;s boss offers to accompany her to an exhibit instead. They later go to a cafe, where Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi are also present. Ria grows increasingly annoyed overhearing Mayu&#039;s conversation with her boss, particularly when he hints at wanting to take her somewhere else and praises her cooking. At home that evening, Mayu cooks for her mother and asks if her father would have eaten her cooking, wondering what life would be like if he were still alive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayu Kozue#Side Story|Mayu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at school, Mayu talks with Sayuki about the sword exhibit. She then heads to work, and after her shift ends, her boss mentions his wife and child are away and invites her out to eat. Mayu declines. As she leaves, she forgets her phone, and her boss rushes to return it, asking again about dinner with growing intensity. Ria suddenly appears and bumps into him, yelling at them for flirting and demanding they sit for a lecture. Mayu&#039;s boss says she ruined it and leaves. Ria warns Mayu that her sweet, innocent air attracts older men and that if things continue, his family will fall apart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home that night, Mayu reflects on the day she learned of her father&#039;s death and on Ria&#039;s words. Kyubey appears and offers a contract. Thinking she does not want her boss&#039;s family to suffer the same hardship her family did, Mayu makes her wish: to stop his family from breaking apart. That night, she narrates that her boss transferred to a new job, and she is sure her wish was granted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later at school, Mayu finds boys have started hitting on her. Ria constantly steps in to drive them off. Before Ria can finish telling Mayu to shape up, they both sense a Witch. The girls reveal they are Magical Girls, and they track the Witch to the museum&#039;s special exhibit room. Sayuki suddenly appears and reveals she is also a Magical Girl. During the fight, Mayu notices the Witch only targets Ria. She asks Sayuki to lend her strength and launches a surprise attack, destroying the Witch. Afterward, Mayu thinks that to protect people she must think clearly before acting, and Ria admits Mayu was more reliable than usual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As a child, Sayuki attends an idol performance with her parents, but when the crowd becomes dangerously wild, she is almost squeezed to death, leaving her with lasting trauma.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayuki Fumino#Side Story|Sayuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Growing up in a happy family, Sayuki develops a deep interest in katanas that creates a gap between her and her classmates. Though they respect her passion, she feels lonely without someone to share it with. This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert. Sayuki believes speaking out is important no matter the outcome and swears to protect the kind people who have been kind to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka. Moka thanks Alina for saving her and says she has now made new friends, resolving to devote herself to exterminating witches and admitting she is only a little afraid of them now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They grew as close as sisters until Sis became engaged to marry someone far away.

** Riko goes Witch hunting to vent her stress but nearly dies against a stronger Witch. In that moment, despair crushes her and she wishes she had never made her wish so Sis would still be there. Tsukasa, a regular at her family&#039;s shop, finds her crying and listens as Riko confides everything about her feelings and what happened with Sis.

Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work.

From that day, Mel bonds with Mifuyu, Tsuruno, and Momoko as part of her new team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One other day, Mel arrives excitedly with entirely positive readings and offers to read the team&#039;s fortunes. Despite Yachiyo&#039;s skepticism, Mel coaxes her into a session predicting a career breakthrough.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Yachiyo announces with disbelief that she was chosen for a nationwide magazine feature on Kamihama&#039;s cafes. Mifuyu and Momoko then receive positive readings about a matchmaking and exam results.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes. Afterward they visit Mitama, who suggests they train in Endless Mirrors if they plan to remain independent rather than join Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Temari and Mikura commute to school exhausted. Temari stayed up testing a new metal pen, and Mikura correctly guesses she is in modern literature mode.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Temari is distracted thinking about Witch strategies while Mikura worries about Seira, who had fallen asleep in class from exhaustion. Seira joins them, and Temari suggests they create their own space to escape the stress of magical girl life. Seira proposes forming a school club where they can pursue their hobbies freely, and they agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Seira secures an empty classroom as a provisional club room under the name Historical Research Club. On paper they study history, but in reality it becomes their oasis for reading, watching films, and relaxing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the girls are enjoying their club activities, yet Temari still feels unsettled about not knowing her magic. Mikura reflects that they have been following Temari’s suggestions lately—staying independent, creating the club—but says she will mention it if she notices anything. When Mikura asks what Temari is reading, Temari replies she is still on the same author, and Mikura calls her as unpredictable as ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hotori&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Last part is after the tea drinking moon party&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hotori and her twin Rion prepare for a school camping trip. Hotori gets distracted watching her favorite sentai show, Dragoon Red, and Rion teases her for still liking children’s fantasy. Hotori wants to bring her notebook of heroic quotes, but Rion tells her not to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At school, Rion tries to stay with Hotori and gets scolded by the teacher. Hotori is relieved to have time away from her sister. Her classmates notice her notebook and encourage her to become who she wants to be.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At camp, Hotori’s group hikes through the forest. She is frightened by insects, and when Rion appears and drives her friends away, Hotori ends up scolded for letting her sister interfere. Reading quotes from her heroes, she manages to calm herself and finishes the hike feeling she has changed a little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During archery, Hotori struggles to pull the bowstring but remembers Dragoon Red’s words about perseverance and manages to shoot. Rion performs better, but Hotori’s friends cheer her up. Rion later mentions the night’s test of courage, and though Hotori is scared, she refuses to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the test, Hotori freezes after a scare. Rion mocks her and escorts her to the finish line. There Hotori realizes she left her notebook behind; Rion goes back to retrieve it but does not return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotori lies to the teachers and searches the forest. She finds Kyubey, who offers her a contract: any wish in exchange for becoming a magical girl who fights witches. When she finds Rion acting strangely, Kyubey explains Rion has a witch’s kiss. Rion enters a witch’s barrier, and Hotori follows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Terrified but thinking of Dragoon Red’s words, Hotori makes her wish: “I wish to be a hero strong enough to protect Rion.” She defeats the witch alone, saves Rion, and is relieved when her sister wakes up safe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Months later, Hotori now fights witches with a team. During one battle she freezes and is saved by Rion and Yukika Nanase. Yukika asks about Hotori’s notebook, and Hotori explains she wants to be brave like the sentai heroes. Yukika privately knows the truth from another timeline: the twins’ memories were altered by Rion’s wish, and Hotori’s original wish may have been to become strong enough to protect Rion. Hotori, unaware, continues striving to be a hero.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Meguru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Meguru joins the Broadcasting Club, but her senpais later announce it will close due to low membership. Though she feigns indifference, she secretly wants the club to remain so she can pursue her dream of becoming a popular MC. When Kyubey appears, she wishes to become a popular mistress of ceremonies in exchange for becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After her wish, she discovers she can narrate events with unusual power, accidentally motivating classmates. She is drawn into a witch’s labyrinth and rescued by Momoko Togame, who takes her to Mitama Yakumo. Momoko suspects Meguru’s magic strengthened the witch. Mitama asks Meguru to act as MC for an event in the Mirror Witch’s barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the barrier, Meguru narrates battles for Tsuruno Yui, Meiyui Chun, and Akira Shinobu, but her words also empower their mirror copies. After struggling to control her magic, she successfully motivates the originals to win. The group agrees she has a gift for motivating others, though they must flee when more copies appear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Meguru finds her club still at risk of closure. Hinano Miyako arrives and asks Meguru to MC for the chemistry club to attract new members. Meguru’s senpais decide to promote her involvement as a club activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Later, Kyubey asks why she wanted to be an MC. Meguru explains she admired many fields but never excelled until now, and she thanks him. She learns she only gets one wish, but she is confident she will meet amazing people on her own.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Meguruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Meguru Hibiki#Side Story|Meguru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Eternal Sakura begins as a story Iroha tells to Ui, Touka, and Nemu at the hospital—a tale of a girl waiting by a sakura tree to reunite with her three friends. Nemu loves it so much she writes it down, naming it the Eternal Sakura of Promises. That is Sakura&#039;s beginning, though she is only words in a notebook.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Nemu moves the Eternal Sakura and many other stories into a different book, rewriting them as Rumors and breathing her own lifeforce into them. They become real beings, freed but also bound to their rumors. Time passes, and the Eternal Sakura watches as other Rumors are destroyed. She alone keeps her physical form. When Walpurgisnacht attacks and the crisis ends, Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu finally come to her meadow, reunited at last. The sakura tree bursts into bloom. All the Rumors now live together in Nemu&#039;s book, with the Eternal Sakura as the only one who can venture outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu eventually summons the Eternal Sakura and offers to rewrite her rumor so she can leave the meadow. Touka has prepared an internet server for her to download information needed to live among humans. In exchange, they will ask her for a favor later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime after the Dreaming Cherry Blossom event, the Eternal Sakura arrives at Mikazuki Villa as Sakurako Hiiragi, a Rumor given human form. Touka asks Iroha to care for her for three days so she can learn through practice. Yachiyo agrees after Ui begs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On her first day, Sakurako cooks lunch that everyone declares the best they have ever tried. That night, she scores perfectly on homework and offers to tutor Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo notes her helpfulness and suggests she start practicing in the outside world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, they go to the mall. At the arcade, a man knocks Ui down and blames her. Sakurako hits him, demanding an apology, and when he refuses she hits him again, declaring she will end all enemies of Ui. Iroha stops her and they return home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells Sakurako she is glad she defended Ui but should not hurt others. Sakurako transforms into her battle form, showing the power she wields to protect the four girls. Iroha asks her to promise not to use it except against Witches or real danger. Sakurako promises.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Mifuyu arrives with Touka and Nemu to pick her up. They have arranged for her to attend Minagi Freedom School, where she will not know anyone. Yachiyo agrees it is best for her to keep some distance from Iroha and Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At her new school, Sakurako meets Hinano Miyako, who warns her not to mention being a Rumor in class. During introductions, Sakurako announces she is here to learn about human society, is technically zero years old, and has been assigned an age to match her appearance. The students think she is weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Between classes, Hinano checks on her. Sakurako finds school boring and misses Iroha. Hinano suggests making friends would make school more fun, but Sakurako does not understand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During class, Sakurako announces she is bored and leaves to see Iroha. Ryo Midori from the school newspaper photographs her, but Sakurako runs off. She finds Iroha, who is angry she cut class. Iroha explains her actions cause problems for many people, including Touka. Sakurako promises to attend tomorrow, though she still finds school boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako sits bored in class but keeps her promise. At lunch, she finds an empty classroom and sits alone, tears welling as she wonders if this is loneliness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo finds her and offers a handkerchief. In exchange, Ryo asks why she is crying. Sakurako tells her everything, including being a Rumor. Ryo believes her and invites her to spend lunch together. In exchange, she asks Sakurako to be the newspaper&#039;s mascot with her own column. Sakurako agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She arrives home late and tells Iroha and Ui she made a friend. Iroha is worried, knowing Ryo&#039;s history, but Sakurako hands over a letter from Ryo. The letter states Sakurako needs emotional education before social education and should not be forced to attend school. Ryo promises to watch over her in exchange for the mascot role.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;EternalSakurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Eternal Sakura#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ranka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ranka reflects on her mission as a spy from Futatsugi to investigate Kamihama&#039;s Automatic Purification System. She struggles to gather intel while pretending to be a normal student. Frustrated, she visits an arcade. She bumps into Rena and they argue. They settle their dispute with gaming matches: Rena wins at DDR, Ranka wins at the fighting game. Momoko and Kaede arrive. The trio notices Ranka&#039;s ring and realizes she is a Magical Girl. Ranka lies about being a newbie who recently moved to Kamihama. Momoko offers to help her. The group later fights a Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rankass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ranka Chizu#Side Story|Ranka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the weekend, Ranka texts the trio asking to be shown around the city. They meet up. Rena mentions the Kamihama Magia Union. Ranka gathers intel on the group. They visit a dessert shop and then an arcade. Ranka shares her backstory: she wished to protect her hometown arcade from closing. A Witch appears and they fight together. Afterward, Momoko gives Ranka a Grief Seed. Ranka is conflicted, resenting the Kamihama girls for their abundance while Futatsugi girls struggle for Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rankass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ranka reflects on her failed spying attempts. She considers infiltrating the Kamihama Magia Union to meet its leaders. Juri calls, noting Ranka has stopped sending daily reports.

===Rui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Kosho Academy, Seira Mihono searches for a protagonist with a secret for her new film. Her classmates suggest Rui, a mysterious girl who never talks about herself. Rui, who knows the rumors are untrue, feels guilty. Lost in a fantasy where she fights terrorists as “Fortress, the Sorcerer,” she is interrupted by a classmate and, too shy to answer a simple question, retreats into her thoughts. She reflects that in her mind she is a cool heroine, but in reality she cannot connect with others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ruiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rui Mizuki#Side Story|Rui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

But when classmates later comment that such a cool character could only exist in fiction, Rui feels isolated, as if her true self is unacceptable.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ruiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rui Mizuki#Side Story|Rui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Akari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari wakes Hotaru after school. Hotaru notices Akari&#039;s Puchi-Usa keychain, which Haruto drew for her when she was young. Akari decides to tell Hotaru about her wish and how she became a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akari Mai#Side Story|Akari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari explains that she has always loved Haruto, but he treats her only as a little sister. When Haruto entered high school, he stopped walking with her due to club activities. Akari heard a rumor that Haruto was dating his club manager. Distressed, she wished to Kyubey to become 16 years old like Mimiko-chan, the transforming heroine she admired.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her wish only allowed her to transform temporarily. She turned back into an elementary schooler afterward. Akari regretted not wishing for everyone to perceive her as 16 from the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Akari patrolled for Witches and found Haruto under a Witch&#039;s Kiss. She saved him in her 16-year-old form. Haruto did not recognize her and thanked her as a stranger. He gave her his jacket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari returned Haruto&#039;s jacket, claiming a stranger asked her to return it. Haruto admitted he had fallen in love with the girl who saved him—not realizing it was Akari. Akari was conflicted: happy he fell for her, but sad he fell for a version of her that was not truly her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The bunny Nene died. Akari cried. Haruto came to give her a new Puchi-Usa keychain but hid it when he saw her crying. He comforted her and told her it was okay to cry. Akari loved his kindness and subtle thoughtfulness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari ran into Haruto while patrolling. Haruto was looking for the 16-year-old girl. Akari became jealous and badmouthed her 16-year-old self, calling her suspicious and a liar. Haruto got angry at Akari for speaking ill of someone she did not know. Akari ran away, feeling she was not worthy of him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari hid in an alley. Haruto came looking for her. A Witch appeared, and Haruto was under another Witch&#039;s Kiss. Hotaru appeared and caught Haruto with a pillow before he could jump. Hotaru and Akari defeated the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotaru revealed she had been watching over Akari since the bunny hutch. She told Akari that her kindness was one of her good points. Akari realized the 16-year-old version Haruto fell for was still a part of her. Hotaru encouraged her to apologize properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari, still in her 16-year-old form, lied to Haruto that she had taken Akari under her protection. Haruto was relieved and admitted he was too harsh with Akari. He said he did not want her to become someone who speaks ill of others. Akari apologized to Haruto in person. Haruto forgave her and said he was proud of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari resolved to become a wonderful adult on her own, without magic, and capture Haruto&#039;s heart when she was truly 16. She thanked Hotaru for giving her the push to apologize but Hotaru fell asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ryoko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryoko’s story begins at Suitoku Temple, the Tokime Tribe’s base, which was slated for demolition while officials hid the harm it would cause. Though she is from a neighboring town, Ryoko is bound to the tribe by blood, and she makes a wish to disclose the demolition details—saving the temple. Raised by her grandfather in a strict Buddhist temple, she is told her mother was a hero who saved the country yet died and left her behind. Ryoko grows to resent heroism, viewing it as empty fame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Her cynicism is tested when Moka Megumi tries to save a drowning kitten despite being unable to swim. Ryoko rescues her and asks why; Moka says she simply cannot stand someone dying on her watch. Ryoko does not take her seriously at first, still believing people play the hero only to be seen as one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The turning point comes when her grandfather plays a recording of her mother’s final message. Her mother worked in intelligence, gathering intel on domestic terrorists, and when backup failed to arrive, she acted alone to prevent a war. The revelation shatters Ryoko’s old beliefs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She accepts the Tokime Tribe’s invitation—something she had previously refused. Her grandfather already knows she is a magical girl. Her debut in “A New Beginning” happens when she overhears a monk say the tribe’s members are coming to Kamihama; she goes to see for herself and arrives just in time to witness Touka’s Doppel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ryokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ryoko Natsu#Side Story|Ryoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama’s adjuster shop, Karin Misono finds Kush sleeping inside the tent. Mitama explains that Kush cannot stay awake during the day due to her wish: “I just want the morning to never come.” Kush reveals she made her wish because she longed to live in a fantasy world like the one in her favorite book, &#039;Good‑Bye Fable,&#039; and her magical girl outfit resembles the story’s protagonist. Ui Tamaki and Little Kyubey arrive, and Kush briefly attacks Little Kyubey, mistaking him for the Kyubey she despises. Over tea, Mitama notices Kush’s long canine teeth stained red and later receives a message from her sister Mikage about a rumor of a vampire girl in the Hokuyo Mountains. Karin and Kush agree to investigate together, but Kush runs off to her night class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, the two meet up with Riko Chiaki and Ashley Taylor, who are making a horror video about the same rumor. The group searches the mountains at night. Kush can see in the dark and leads them, but she is still sleepy. They find a discarded camera containing a video of Rui Mizuki dropping it and disappearing. When a mysterious sound frightens the others, they accidentally leave Kush behind. Left alone, Kush eats cherry tomatoes and senses a witch. The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one. They also learn that Rui is Kush’s friend; she had filmed Kush entering the barrier before being caught by it. The group later glimpses a white‑haired silhouette and flees, thinking a real vampire might exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley posts a video warning others to stay away from the mountains. At Mitama’s shop, Ui hears about the incident and learns the vampire was just a misunderstanding. Meanwhile, Chika Aoba, whose animal traps and axe cuts the group had found, decides to move her work farther from the trails so she does not frighten anyone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Homura Akemi in Magia Record#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is flooded with more memories of her other self preparing for Walpurgisnacht with allies. She wonders if there might be a real possibility for salvation in this timeline, where no one has to be sacrificed. However, she believes it has nothing to do with her. She breaks out of the labyrinth and the dream ends. Kyubey asks if she was curious about what happened to her other self. Homura says it does not matter; she believes in Madoka&#039;s words that her efforts will not be in vain. A new universe is about to be born, and Homura must protect it for Madoka&#039;s sake. Kyubey states they will both forget Madoka, but Homura is determined to never forget her.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new universe where Witches do not exist, Kyoko is surprised to find Sayaka has disappeared. Mami explains the Law of Cycles causes Magical Girls to disappear when they lose hope. Homura cries as she remembers Madoka, but neither Mami nor Kyoko know who Madoka is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka spend the day together in Kamihama, enjoying each other’s company until they encounter Ria Ami, a model and magical girl who has already defeated the witch they were tracking. Ria invites them to tea and later takes them to the fashion district, where she notices that Homura’s attention never leaves Madoka. Admitting her jealousy, Ria says she wishes someone would look at her the same way, and Homura replies that she will protect Madoka. After Ria departs, Homura thinks that even if Madoka does not realize how cool she is, she will still save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Homura steals weapons from a group called the Soukaihou using her time stop, but she is caught afterward by Meiyui Chun, a magical girl affiliated with the group. Instead of punishing her, Meiyui thanks her for taking weapons that belonged to troublemakers and invites Homura to share mapo tofu. Over the meal, Meiyui learns Homura fights to protect someone precious to her and says she understands, offering her support and suggesting the spicy dish whenever the burden becomes too painful to bear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Homura is practicing her shooting alone when Natsuki Utsuho, a magical girl who cheers for others, offers to encourage her. Natsuki deduces Homura’s time stop ability and gives advice that significantly improves her aim. When Natsuki suggests Homura ask Mami to coach her, Homura calls, and Mami arrives within an hour. Mami uses her ribbons to move within Homura’s time stop during a sparring match, praising her rapid progress afterward. Homura agrees to return to Mitakihara with Mami, reflecting that she will keep moving forward to become a magical girl capable of protecting Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Sayaka arrives in Kamihama City to go shopping with Kyosuke Kamijou, though she insists it is not a date. When she hears a scream, she runs toward it and discovers Hinano Miyako at an empty elementary school. Hinano explains she was bumped on the head while setting up the chemistry lab, and Sayaka decides to help investigate. They find the culprit was a baseball that flew through the window from the baseball club practicing outside. Hinano returns the ball to a child and gives Sayaka a perfume she made, wishing her good luck on her date despite Sayaka&#039;s protests.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later in the shopping district, Emiri Kisaki approaches Sayaka, drawn by the perfume. After realizing Sayaka is not Hinano, Emiri offers to coordinate her wardrobe, claiming to be the &amp;quot;Cutest in the World.&amp;quot; Sayaka learns Emiri is also a magical girl but remains unsatisfied with the outfit suggestions, explaining the person she likes does not care about appearances. Emiri takes her to the top of a tower, where they view the city at night. Sayaka thanks her before heading to the train station, reflecting that her love is supported by the magical girls of Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the outing with Kyosuke arrives. After buying a CD, Kyosuke messages that his train is delayed. Sayaka fights a Witch she senses and meets Kokoro Awane, defeating it together. With time to spare, Kokoro invites her for tea. Sayaka shares that she became a magical girl to heal someone she loves, and Kokoro reveals she wished to bring her family together. Though problems remain, Kokoro believes she can unite them through her own power, and Sayaka finds strength in her words. When Kyosuke is about to arrive, Kokoro encourages her, and Sayaka runs to the station, feeling it will be a good day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On a later day, Mami is approached at a cafe by Rika Ayano, who admires her fighting style and asks to be friends. They spend the day shopping and at an arcade, and Mami admits she has not enjoyed herself like this in a while. Rika reminds Mami of Kyoko Sakura, and Mami reflects on her friendships in Mitakihara. They exchange contact information and agree to hang out again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, after Mami fights off familiars, Nanaka Tokiwa confronts her, having heard rumors about the strongest Magical Girl from Mitakihara. Nanaka wants to team up or fight her, and Akira Shinobu arrives, also eager to challenge Mami based on exaggerated rumors. Mami agrees to fight them on one condition: they have tea with her first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kyoko dismisses her but secretly follows, rescuing Ren when the familiar transforms into a witch. She gives Ren the Grief Seed, admitting that helping her didn&#039;t feel as wrong as she expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kyokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura in Magia Record#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When Manaka asks about her relationship with food, Kyoko is reminded of how her wish destroyed her family, but she simply says that eating is living and that she decided to survive no matter what. Kyoko admits she enjoys the cooking and promises to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kyokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura in Magia Record#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When they encounter a witch, Kyoko insists on fighting alone, but Konomi follows and gets injured. Kyoko reluctantly carries her home, where Konomi gives her a nadeshiko flower to match her name. Kyoko later realizes she stuck it in her hair and reflects that she ended up meeting a cute witch despite herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kyokoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura in Magia Record#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ultimate&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart. She also finds Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, who were never supposed to become magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Panicking because she cannot prevent magical girls from becoming witches in this universe, Madoka investigates. She discovers the source blocking her intervention originated when the Holy Quintet first visited Kamihama, and she observes how Touka and Nemu—fated to die in every other universe—are alive and plotting with the Magius to lure Walpurgis Night to hatch Eve. Madoka reflects that their plan, if successful, would achieve what she herself accomplished. Unsure whether to intervene, she decides to investigate further and chooses Iroha as her next focal point, since this is the only universe where Iroha contracted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka observes Iroha’s past and finds the singular difference: on a normal day, Iroha took her usual shortcut but accidentally kicked a small pebble, nearly making her late. This tiny butterfly effect led to Iroha contracting and Ui, Nemu, and Touka surviving, derailing the universe’s fate. Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka decides not to interfere, fearing a clash that could destroy the universe. However, she laments that she may have no choice but to trample Iroha’s wish if this universe, now a singularity, threatens the stability of all other universes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Oriko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* After contracting with Kyubey, Oriko foresees Madoka becoming Kriemhild Gretchen and ending the world. To prevent this, she begins manipulating events and people around her. She uses Yuma Chitose as a distraction to keep Kyubey away from Madoka, then later convinces Yuma to contract by claiming Kyoko is in danger. Oriko also recruits Kirika Kure as her pawn. When Kirika kills another magical girl, Oriko decides to use the murders to further distract Kyubey from Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Oriko Mikuni in Magia Record#Side Story|Oriko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Oriko has another vision revealing that Madoka is not in Mitakihara but somewhere else entirely. She witnesses a spatial distortion connecting Mitakihara to Kamihama City and begins to suspect Kamihama might hold the key to changing the future. Oriko sends Kirika to Kamihama under the pretense of buying tea, instructing her to gather information from Mami and other magical girls there. She then takes Yuma to Kamihama herself, leaving her inside a witch barrier knowing Kyoko will come to rescue her. While exploring Kamihama for answers, Oriko nearly dies inside a powerful witch barrier and realizes she needs Kirika&#039;s help to continue. Kirika eventually returns home safely, reporting that Mami and Kyoko are also investigating Kamihama and that the city has an unusually high number of witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Orikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kirika returns home with supermarket tea, admitting she learned nothing. Oriko reassures her, but Kirika remains convinced the tea is inadequate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kirikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Eventually, Asuka, Sasara, Hinano, and Emiri help her, and the shop is cleaned perfectly. She gets the idea of holding a party from Momoko, Kaede, and Rena, who also plan to do something for Mitama as thanks.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Kanagi visits, and Mitama asks her about New Year events and decorations. She decides to decorate her store, but Kanagi warns her about the price and advises her to do DIY decorations instead. Mitama accepts the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi and Konomi visit Mitama with already-made decorations. Some are extras from Kanagi&#039;s maid cafe, and Konomi is experienced with making such decorations from her flower shop. The three of them make many beautiful decorations and set them up at the store.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitama realizes she has no plans for holding a party and no one is visiting. Just as she is feeling lost, the Mikazuki Villa team visits, bringing a beautiful kimono and New Year&#039;s food. They say it is their way to thank Mitama for her help. With Yachiyo&#039;s help, Mitama puts on the kimono and is touched by their actions. Momoko, Kaede, Rena, Asuka, and Sasara also visit. The kimono was chosen by everyone for Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;

Shizuka reveals she does not have a haregi but has a special outfit for a New Year&#039;s ceremony. She offers to show everyone.&lt;br /&gt;
* A package arrives with Shizuka&#039;s ceremonial outfit. She tries it on but discovers it has become highwater—too short to properly cover her. The outfit also has moth holes.

** Shizuka finds Kanoko at school with Sana, Tsumugi, and Manaka. Kanoko agrees to help. At Manaka&#039;s restaurant, they discuss design options. Kanoko suggests adding colorful mushroom lace and appliques. Sana suggests cat lace. Tsumugi suggests adding &amp;quot;TOKIME&amp;quot; on the back. Everyone is excited, but Manaka later sees the design and is horrified. She tells Shizuka it is inappropriate for a ceremonial outfit. Shizuka agrees it is too ostentatious.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana suggests asking Mifuyu, whose family runs a kimono shop. Mifuyu cannot help because her craftsman is ill, but she suggests asking Mitama, the Coordinator.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka visits Mitama. Mitama performs a Coordination, altering Shizuka&#039;s outfit to match her imagination of the traditional ceremonial costume. Shizuka is amazed by the result and feels confident and resolved.&lt;br /&gt;

===Iroha &amp;amp; Ui&#039;s Shrine Maiden Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno are being lazy, still treating it like New Year&#039;s. Yachiyo scolds them. Iroha and Ui feel anxious about the upcoming school semester but realize they have forgotten something important. Yachiyo suggests it might be cleaning. Iroha and Ui remember they need to clean their house in Takarazaki. The group agrees to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha &amp;amp; Ui (Shrine Maiden)#Side Story|Iroha &amp;amp; Ui&#039;s Shrine Maiden Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the house, they clean together. Felicia finds a photo album. Everyone looks through pictures of Iroha and Ui as children. They see photos from Ui&#039;s birthday party at the hospital, a Christmas when they had a flour snowball fight, and other memories. The girls tease Iroha for being a dork, and Iroha gets embarrassed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After cleaning, they take a break. Ui wants to have a party at the house, which has always been a dream of hers since she was hospitalized for so long. Iroha agrees. They buy cakes and cookies from a nearby pastry shop. Back at the house, they hold a small party. Yachiyo is worried about the cost, but Iroha says she and Ui paid with their allowance. They toast to everyone&#039;s help with cleaning. Felicia accidentally spills juice, and they laugh. As evening falls, they return to Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Ui receive a New Year&#039;s card from their parents overseas. They want to send something back but cannot decide how. Tsuruno and Felicia are watching a comedy show about an elderly couple sending video messages to their children. This gives Iroha and Ui the idea to record a video message for their parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They film their first video, but Yachiyo says it is too ordinary. Sana suggests making it more unique. Ui wants to introduce everyone at Mikazuki Villa to their parents. Iroha agrees. They try filming again with a script, but the takes go poorly—Yachiyo overthinks her cooking scene, Felicia struggles to tutor Ui, and Tsuruno is late. Ui suggests they abandon the script and just be themselves. They record a video of their daily life together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the video, Iroha and Ui perform a shrine maiden&#039;s dance they learned from helping at a shrine over New Year&#039;s. They tell their parents not to worry and wish them luck with work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaUiShrineMaiden&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* After Mitakihara City’s school closing ceremony, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura walk out together. Sayaka is glad the term is over, Madoka is excited, and Homura admits she will feel lonely without seeing them every day. Sayaka ruffles her hair and says they can still meet over break, whether hunting witches or hanging out. Madoka suggests visiting Mizuna Shrine in Kamihama for New Year’s to draw “Ultimate Fortunes.” Sayaka has other plans but encourages them to go together. After she leaves, Madoka asks Homura if she knows how to put on formal wear. Homura does not, so Madoka invites her to a kimono‑dressing class she found, saying she wanted the two of them to dress up with Sayaka but lacked the courage to go alone. Homura agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class, the instructor dresses them first; Madoka thinks Homura looks beautiful, and Homura calls Madoka cute. When the actual lesson begins, Madoka struggles badly and trips, while Homura learns quickly enough that the instructor says she will have no trouble. Madoka takes a break outside, feeling useless. Sayaka happens by and asks why she wanted to dress up in the first place - to have fun. Sayaka tells her not to overthink; even if she makes mistakes, she will still have the memories. Encouraged, Madoka returns and finally manages to dress herself after another trip.&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year’s Day, both have their formal wear put on at a store. They joke that the class was interesting but not very useful for the real occasion. They take lots of pictures to show Sayaka, then wish each other a happy new year and go to Mizuna Shrine to draw fortunes. Madoka hopes everyone has a lucky year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka find themselves trapped in a strange dream—a life-sized board game set across Kamihama City. They must reach the goal by following the game&#039;s rules. There are no Familiars or attempts to harm them, so Homura suspects it is accidental mischief rather than a trap. They roll dice to move between squares and complete missions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Kimono)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;First Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They arrive at a shopping center. The mission is to deliver lost items from the New Year&#039;s sale to the Information Desk. They meet Aimi, who found a plain notebook with no name. Aimi worries it is someone&#039;s secret fantasy diary and does not want to read it. They take it to the Information Desk and complete the mission. Aimi mentions she is shopping for materials to knit a scarf or gloves for a boy named Hayato.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** They roll again and move to a new square. The mission is to reunite two sisters who failed to meet. They find Tsukasa waiting for her twin Tsukuyo. Tsukuyo forgot her phone and cannot remember the meeting spot. Madoka and Homura offer to find Tsukuyo. They find her, but Tsukasa has wandered off while waiting. The sisters fail to meet, and Homura and Madoka lose three turns. They eventually reach the Mizuna Shrine goal, but the game says they have not met the goal conditions and sends them back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Second Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They are back at the beginning, wearing their kimonos. They see their past selves from the first loop. The same mission appears—reunite the twins. They meet Tsukasa again, who remembers them from before and is confused by their kimono change. Madoka tells Tsukasa where Tsukuyo is, but Tsukasa runs off before Madoka can explain she should wait. They try to find Tsukasa but fail. The mission fails again, and they are sent back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Third Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes: buy a lucky bag costing one million Magica. They search for a store and take a break at a cafe. They see Ria being interviewed and overhear a boy named Hayato saying he needs a warmer scarf. They find Kokoro and Masara, who lead them to a stationery lucky bag. Kokoro mentions Tsukasa is still looking for Tsukuyo. Madoka wants to help Tsukasa, and Homura agrees. They find Tsukuyo, who has been wandering and dropped something important. They learn Tsukuyo dropped her exchange diary with Tsukasa—the same notebook Aimi found. The mission completes, but they are sent back to the start again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes again: help a child who lost something. They find Tsukuyo waiting. She dropped the exchange diary. Homura and Madoka take her to the Information Desk to reclaim it. Madoka remembers Tsukasa was last seen near a specific area. They wait there and finally reunite the twins. They also tell Aimi that Hayato wants a warm scarf. Everyone ends up happy. Homura and Madoka reach the goal without regrets. Homura reflects that she does not want the dream to last longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka learns the meaning of &amp;quot;When winter comes, spring isn&#039;t far behind&amp;quot; at the end of December. Just before New Year&#039;s Eve, Madoka asks if anyone has plans for the holiday. Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko and Nagisa meet the teacher and children at the park. The kids immediately recognize Kyoko, so the pair double down on the movie lie. The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the performance, Kyoko and Sayaka use quick‑change costumes while Nagisa sneaks discarded clothes off set. The children are awed by the glowing weapons and effects, explained with lighting tricks and soap bubbles. After the class leaves, the group reviews the footage and decides to keep a copy. Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko returns the props to Sayuki, then visits an aquarium to pass time. As she leaves, she spots the same kindergarteners, detects a witch, and rushes to fight it. She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On the way, a delivery truck carrying the chocolate coins is possessed by a Witch&#039;s Kiss and goes on a rampage. Nagisa and Kyoko chase it, jump onto the truck, and enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Nagisa uses her forbidden technique to defeat the Witch. The truck and other vehicles are unharmed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

She says this is the best present ever. Tsuruno turns the stars back on and they enjoy their very own Milky Way. Yachiyo says she never expected her tears would be those of joy.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede, Rena, and Momoko have picked out new swimsuits. Momoko could not buy one because she spent her allowance on a concert tour. They decide to go to the beach together. Kaede mentions that Mikazuki Villa is renting a lodge for a study camp. Rena asks Yachiyo if they can join. Yachiyo agrees. They arrive at the lodge. Yachiyo announces that everyone must complete ten pages of homework per subject per day before they can play.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rena &amp;amp; Kaede (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena negotiates with Yachiyo: if they can finish all three days&#039; worth of homework in one day, they can play at the beach tomorrow. Everyone agrees. They study hard together. Rena suggests a reward system to stay motivated. They shout encouragement like at an idol concert. Yachiyo and Momoko help with difficult problems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By evening, everyone has met their quota. Rena and Kaede rush to the beach. But Rena has eaten too much chocolate and feels bloated. She is embarrassed and refuses to go swimming. She goes to bed early.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rena, Kaede, and Momoko finally play at the beach. Mitama, Kanagi, and Mifuyu visit. Mitama has brought homemade rice balls as a reward. To decide who gets them, they hold a fishing contest. Rena and Kaede catch a pufferfish but come in second place. Kanagi wins first place and gets stuck with Mitama&#039;s cooking. Mifuyu is affected first. Rena and Kaede eat the remaining Mitama musubi and feel sick. They rest for the rest of the afternoon. Yachiyo goes shopping alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Rena and Kaede notice Yachiyo acting strange. They follow her and find her with fireworks. Yachiyo admits she bought them for everyone but felt too shy to ask. Rena and Kaede insist on setting them off together. They gather everyone. The group enjoys fireworks on the beach. Rena and Kaede stay up late playing with the leftovers. Momoko reflects on how much they have changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They wake up past noon. There is only an hour before the bus leaves. They quickly change into swimsuits and race to the beach. Rena loses and buys everyone juice.

** They browse swimsuits, but Mitama insists on choosing thoughtfully rather than buying on a whim. They separate briefly, and Mitama runs into Mikage, deflecting questions about what she’s doing. Momoko later admits she also had to make excuses after running into Rena and Kaede. Instead of buying swimsuits, Mitama brings Momoko back for an adjustment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the adjustment, they emerge in new swimsuits—Momoko’s tailored perfectly to her tastes, leaving her flustered but secretly pleased. Mitama teases her and admits she’s nervous but excited.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On contest day, Mitama and Momoko play on the beach. They learn the contest requires performing a shared beach memory with chemistry. They plan to tell the story of Mitama’s deserted island ordeal while Momoko adds her side of worrying. While playing, they fight a Witch together—the first time Mitama has teamed up with someone—then run straight into Rena, Kaede, and Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They win by performing the events of the day instead of their planned story. Rena claims the stuffed bunny, and Mikage gets the Candy World tickets, immediately inviting Mitama. Apologies are exchanged, and the others ask for no more secrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, while Mitama and Momoko clean up, Rena and Kaede take Mikage to get drinks. A girl from Mitama’s past confronts her: the one Mitama accidentally shoved down the stairs years ago. A crowd gathers, muttering rumors, but Momoko defends Mitama and the crowd disperses. The girl realizes it was an accident and offers to help clear Mitama’s name, but Mitama declines, saying she no longer needs it because she has someone who believes in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The group spends the day swimming, building a sandcastle, and splitting into smaller activities. While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

** The old woman and the photographer meet; the photographer confesses her guilt over their childhood fight, but the woman explains Himari never mentioned any quarrel—her illness suddenly worsened that day. The two women reconcile, and both thank Madoka for bringing them together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond. Madoka reflects that the thing she could only do here was to reunite the two women and give them peace. Her friends call her for one last swim, and she runs off to join them, already thinking of returning to the island someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomuradsSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends.

They eat lunch and shaved ice. Ashley records their conversation. Madoka and Homura leave early for Witch patrol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka&#039;s group meets Takamine&#039;s wife and daughter. A strong wind blows the daughter&#039;s hat into the ocean. Sayaka and Kyoko transform into swimsuits and ride a surfboard to retrieve it, using Nagisa&#039;s floaty as a distraction. The hat is recovered. Takamine&#039;s wife realizes she lost her notepad. Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while waiting, Nagisa and Riko play with water guns. Sayaka&#039;s group relaxes on the beach. Madoka and Homura find Sayaka&#039;s copy in Mirrors. The copy lures them into a trap, but they manage to get the CD list from her and escape. They send it to Sayaka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring. They plan for future fights: Sayaka will handle Familiars, Madoka and Homura will immobilize the Witch, and Mami will finish it off. Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the team encounters a paramedic and a girl under a Witch&#039;s influence. They enter the Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. The paramedic wakes up and thanks them and the team slips away quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of school after summer vacation, Mami calls Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura to the roof. Kyoko and Nagisa fought a powerful Witch and retreated. They warn the others and the team meets to plan. Kyoko and Nagisa will immobilize the Witch while Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura handle the Familiars. Mami will finish it off with her new firework attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The ext morning, the Witch appears and the team executes their plan. Mami uses a powerful firework attack, which she names &amp;quot;Fiore Finale,&amp;quot; to defeat the Witch. They rescue the captured people. A paramedic from earlier recognizes them and offers to take care of the victims. The team rushes to school but is late.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A taxi driver from the previous encounter sees them and gives them a ride. He thanks them for protecting the town. They arrive at school just in time.

===Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko invites Homura, Mami, Sayaka, and Madoka to the beach using tickets Mitama gave her after another accidental transformation into her magical swimsuit. The group swims, then Kyoko dominates the buffet. They discover a cliff diving spot, where Sayaka, Mami, and Kyoko take turns jumping while Madoka and Homura watch. They agree to return the day after next, since Madoka is busy the following day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kyoko asks Mitama to let her keep the swimsuit form for the summer, then heads to the beach alone.

Ui improves, but a rip current nearly sweeps her away; Kyoko rescues her. Moved by Ui’s determination, Kyoko keeps training her until sunset, and Ui finally masters swimming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully. Later, Kyoko visits Mitama to revert her outfit, explaining she wants to learn swimming properly rather than relying on magic. She trades a Grief Seed for money to buy ramune as payment for a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Eternal Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;

===Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Momoko Togame (Sanctified)#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi meet again. Mitama shares her realization: her grief has ended. She now wants to make amends and carve a new future for Kamihama. They discuss ideas for the student conference. Kanagi suggests a sports festival. Mitama suggests a festival with food stalls. They joke about romance and love interests. Mitama feels lighter and ready to move forward. She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Touka and Nemu separately sneak to Ui’s room to leave apology notes. They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They first visit Mitama’s shop, where they meet Maria and Konomi. Mikage hands out sweets, crediting Lavi’s teaching, and Mitama permits them to visit the Mikazuki girls after receiving a cake. At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the real world, Tsuruno gives gelato to Ui and Felicia. Ui is absorbed in playing a game called &amp;quot;Little Vacation&amp;quot; on Tsuruno&#039;s phone. The game follows Tsuruno and Felicia as Reindeer Santas traveling to reach the End of the World and the Wishing Star.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia (Special Delivery)#Side Story|Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno uses the Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a hint: &amp;quot;The key is something you don&#039;t know the importance of until it&#039;s gone. This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The girls encourage Tsuruno and Felicia to leave since they were not originally trapped. Tsuruno and Felicia walk out easily. They promise to return once they find a way to free everyone. They leave, having failed to deliver smiles for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Town of Miraculous ☆ Prestidigitations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the next town. They meet Mitama, a magician performing tricks, and twins Rion and Hotori. Mitama attempts to teleport Hotori but accidentally duplicates her. There are now two Hotoris. Tsuruno and Felicia try to help. The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win. The duplicates are left behind. The single Tsuruno who lost is left alone without Reindeer-san #2 or the Okamochi Box. She decides to continue traveling anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; The three Tsurunos reunite and discuss the hints from the Okamochi Box. They realize &amp;quot;three heads are better than one&amp;quot; refers to them working together to solve the Maze Town puzzle. They also realize the key in Maze Town was a &amp;quot;smile&amp;quot;—something Ren had lost along the way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game. Game Tsuruno is surprised, saying the actual people probably do not play the game anymore. They celebrate their success and set their sights on the next town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents. Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia return home and ask to hear the full story, so Yachiyo retrieves the scarf from the time capsule where she had hidden it years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Check on the days again to make sure how many days pass. It&#039;s possible it&#039;s all just one day&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami finds herself in a strange white fog, speaking with two other versions of herself. Holy Mami claims she has learned the truth about magical girls from Alina Gray and Touka Satomi and has found a way to save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami has tea with Touka and Alina at a house rented for her by Touka. Mami explains she has not returned to Mitakihara because her priority is releasing magical girls. Touka and Alina offer to lecture her on what she needs to study. Alina grows disturbingly excited discussing van Gogh&#039;s Sunflowers, and Touka lectures at length on mathematics until Alina interrupts. Mami reassures them she will ask for help when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina receives a call from the Amane sisters requesting help with a Witch. Touka asks Mami to assist, explaining she has a lecture to give at noon to recruit skilled magical girls. Mami agrees, reflecting that releasing magical girls requires Grief Seeds, protecting Rumors, and raising Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane waiting for her. They explain the Witch has moved and the Black Feathers are monitoring it. A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren plan for their friends’ Christmas party a week away and promise to spend Christmas Eve together. While looking at options in a magazine, they cannot decide on a place. Ren buys the magazine to think it over, privately hoping to choose somewhere that will make Rika happy, though she doubts whether she truly belongs beside her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ren visits Emiri’s consultation room but finds only Akira and Ria Ami. She explains her dilemma, and Ria takes her around town to evaluate possible locations. They rule out a restaurant, an amusement park, and a romantic cafe, eventually settling on the Minagi Aquarium. Ria is surprised to learn Ren is planning an outing with Rika, not a boyfriend, but Ren leaves feeling confident in her choice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Christmas Eve, Rika attends a party with her school friends. When she mentions she will spend Christmas Eve at the aquarium with a friend, her friends press to join, but Rika refuses. She advises them not to look for boyfriends just to avoid being alone. Later, while walking with her friends, Rika spots Ren chasing after Aimi Eri. She follows and finds Ren comforting Aimi over a misunderstanding involving a boy; the situation resolves without trouble.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Ren waits for Rika, who messages that she overslept with a fever. Ren worries Rika became sick chasing after her the day before. Before she can reply, Aimi finds her, and they go shopping together. Aimi encourages Ren to visit Rika instead of staying apart. Ren goes to Rika’s house, knocks on her window, and insists they spend Christmas together there so Rika can rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They exchange gifts: Ren gives Rika scented candles, having noticed Rika’s interest from a sticky note, and Rika gives Ren a glass candlestick. Rika hopes they can visit the aquarium another time, and Ren leaves happy to have shared Christmas with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, assimilate them if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumor Tsuruno begins designing the park, adding a merry-go-round, roller coaster, spa, shops, and a cafe. The mascots warn that once the park is complete, she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world. Rumor Tsuruno claims no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Day 1 (Flashback/Reflection)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi wakes from a nap and remembers the dream she had when fused with the Kimochi. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words that helped her realize she had not truly given up.

** Lavi reflects on the hope she once held—a daydream of a peaceful life where magical girls are understood. In that dream, she helped her mother, tended fields with her grandfather, watched Urara&#039;s street performances, and attended exhibitions with Shirogane. She encountered other magical girls: Asahi, Haitani, Kuroda, Urara, and Alexandra. They fought witches together and enjoyed everyday moments. Lavi realized she had locked away this hope because remembering it was painful. But now, through her connection with Iroha and her time with Nayuta, she has begun to see the future again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Due to a scheduling mistake, everyone arrives at the same inn on the same day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** There is not enough premium beef for dinner. The groups compete in hot spring table tennis, karaoke, and pillow fights to decide who gets the meat. Yuna cheats in table tennis and is disqualified. The karaoke machine is outdated. The pillow fight becomes chaotic. Asahi saves the day with gibier meat. Everyone shares the meal and enjoys the evening together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects that this bustling, noisy future is unlike her usual self, but she realizes she has been yearning for it deep down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yachiyo tracks her location and rushes to the station with Tsuruno. Tsuruno finds Felicia, who confesses she cannot forget Iroha.

* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune. The Rumor says that if you receive the book and find a drawing of yourself, the sketched event will happen and if you try to stop it, a creature named Ketch drags you into the book. Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Two Hands in Harmony===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Two Hands in Harmony|Two Hands in Harmony]]&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. It may already be done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane complain about being overworked as guardians of a Rumor and fear the anger of Touka, Alina, and Nemu. They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One summer morning, Mitama is at her shop and she has set up a small café corner called Hot☆Corner. The cat, Doyle, is especially attached to her lately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery|The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - A Taste of Hospitality|A Taste of Hospitality]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko and Ashley help Mitama film a video about her Coordinator services, whre she explains that she adjusts Soul Gems to draw out hidden potential, that she sees memories during adjustments but keeps them confidential, and that she also sells items for Magical Girls. As payment for the video, Riko gives Mitama an origami dog (Mameji) and Ashley gives her blue candy from her home, both of which Mitama puts in a box.&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, Mitama receives many gifts from Magical Girls, including Kokoro, Reira, Mito, Felicia, Ayame, Kako, Yachiyo, Karin, Himika, Rika and Emiri, the last of whom says that when people share their favorite things, it means they want to share what they love with Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama hums happily, which Momoko and Kanagi notice and feel a bad omen. Mitama announces that she wants to share what she loves with everyone and that she plans a party with food that she will cook. She asks Momoko and Kanagi to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;

===Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin|Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One winter’s day before Christmas, Rika and Ren go shopping together. The town has no Christmas decorations and people seem depressed. They hear a distressed voice and find Mitama, wearing a Santa&#039;s beard and hat, and she introduces herself as a Christmas Spirit. Mitama says her job is to make everyone happy, but the task is too big. She gives Rika and Ren some of her magic, explaining that the magic requires them to be perfectly attuned to each other, and then she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, a swallow Familiar appears, claiming to be Mitama’s pupil and Rika names him Chirpie. Chirpie explains that Mitama saved him when he fell from his nest and gave him magic. He can sense cowardly hearts lacking courage and Rika and Ren must drive out ten cowardly hearts to make the town happy. Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chirpie leads them to Felicia and Sana, who had accidentally smashed a cake and are now arguing about who should apologize to Yachiyo. Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away|Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 13th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mitama is away from her shop, but Tsuruno is there, using the kitchen to make chocolate bonbons with a friend. She plans to surprise everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 14th:&#039;&#039;&#039; On Valentine&#039;s Day, Tsuruno gives beautifully wrapped chocolates to Iroha, Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana and Ui at Mikazuki Villa. Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;

* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day during lunch break, Kanagi goes to Himika’s classroom, telling her she just wanted to see her face, which Himika finds strange.&lt;br /&gt;
** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Finding Our Formula|Finding Our Formula]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Hinano and Emiri attend a chemistry event. Hinano is excited to see a chemist who reminds her of the woman she idolized as a child—a tall, long-legged lady who taught fun chemistry experiments. Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic|Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls finish dinner. Tsuruno and Felicia complain about going to the same public pool every summer. Yachiyo receives a phone call from a distant relative who runs a hotel. The relative needs help cleaning the hotel pool because the usual staff are sick. Yachiyo hesitates due to her modeling schedule. The girls offer to help. Yachiyo calls back and confirms they will come.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group arrives at the hotel and Yachiyo&#039;s relative, an older woman, greets them warmly. She says she used to hang out with Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river. Tsuruno and Felicia compete to see who can clean faster, inventing names for their techniques. Yachiyo scolds them for being inefficient. They eventually work together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha slips and falls but is not hurt. Felicia sprays Yachiyo with the hose and Yachiyo chases her. After a few hours, they finish cleaning. The relative rewards them with fluffy shaved ice.&lt;br /&gt;
** The pool is now clean and filled with water. The girls swim and play. Tsuruno and Felicia bring water guns and spray Yachiyo. Yachiyo chases them and gets out of the pool to walk upstream, eventually catching them. They all have fun.&lt;br /&gt;
** As they leave, the relative thanks them but reveals the pool may not open after all due to unforeseen issues. Everyone is shocked.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic|Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic]]&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls are about to leave when the relative reveals the pool may not open because support staff from the southern islands are delayed by a typhoon. Tsuruno volunteers the group to help until the staff arrives. Yachiyo worries they might cause trouble, but Iroha, Ui, and Sana want to try. They agree to help. Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the next day, the group arrives at the pool for opening day. Yachiyo handles reception. The ticket scanner malfunctions and a line forms. Mitama appears—she had plans with Iroha that were canceled. She offers to help and fixes the scanner by hitting it. The staff member returns and takes over.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama notices Yachiyo has something on her mind and suggests she talk to someone she trusts. Iroha later asks Yachiyo to help with a crowded lunch area. Ui is taking orders with Sana&#039;s invisible help making drinks.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral. Yachiyo admits she was worried about everyone but sees they are doing fine. Iroha tells Yachiyo it is okay to worry because she cares, and they can solve problems together. Iroha notices Yachiyo has been down and offers to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
** A foam machine malfunctions, spewing foam everywhere. A guest slips and falls. The group splits up to clean the foam and help guests. Mitama fixes the machine with a whack. The support staff arrives. The girls finally have time to enjoy the pool.&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models.

They became close and talked openly with each other for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo too formal and uptight, while Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukuyo was devastated.

Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
** She met a girl named &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; N told Kako who was responsible and what she needed to do to destroy them. Kako clung to her. She later learned N was manipulative and saw others as pawns. Kako hates N and wants revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found herself in a Labyrinth. Nanaka fought off Familiars but was overwhelmed. Kyubey offered Kako the chance to become a Magical Girl.

She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kako learned Nanaka faked her struggle to entrap her into making the wish. Nanaka had pulled this trick on others to use them as pawns. Kako could not forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako and Nanaka fought Witches together. Nanaka encouraged Kako and told her she was better suited to being a Magical Girl than Nanaka was. Kako wanted to get stronger. Nanaka wrote a letter confessing her deception and asking Kako to kill her. Kako made up her mind to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka. She returned it unopened, saying it seemed wrong to read something Nanaka only sent by accident. Nanaka smiled and said Kako was dazzling. She said she would try to tell Kako her feelings in person someday.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako thinks Nanaka overestimates her, but she is no longer as scared and helpless as she used to be. She is a Magical Girl who protects the city by Nanaka&#039;s side.&lt;br /&gt;

** Kokoro wishes to go home. She feels dizzy again. She hears her parents calling her name. She wakes up to find she had collapsed. Her parents found her and called an ambulance. She is taken to the hospital. She wonders if the parallel world was real or just a dream.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Kokoro&#039;s parents bake cookies together. They include her in the process. Her mother sings a version of the cookie song with different lyrics—&amp;quot;stir, stir, stir them well, that taste of happiness.&amp;quot; Kokoro asks her mother to sing the old part. Her mother says she just did. Kokoro changes her mind and says she does not want to hear it anymore. She prefers these cookies, the ones the three of them made together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Himika Mao&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Lucky Break Lost &amp;amp; Found===&lt;br /&gt;
* Himika Mao reflects on her life. Her family is far from rich, so when her dad got sick and collapsed, her whole world went dark. But it was her family&#039;s smiling faces that kept her going through it all. That is why she will continue to fight to protect them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Himika goes shopping for bargains and wins a grand prize from a drawing: a 2-night stay at a luxury hotel with a pool on a tropical island, complete with meals. She is thrilled to take her whole family. She hides the ticket in a Baby Bunny pouch for safekeeping.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Himika&#039;s father worked day and night to support their family of eight. He collapsed from overwork. He survived but could not work like before. The family was running out of money. Her siblings fought and cried. Her father suggested they all live in different facilities. Himika made a wish to Kyubey to cure her father. She became a Magical Girl. Her father recovered, and her family returned to a normal, peaceful life.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present Day) Himika&#039;s friends Kako and Ayame visit. Himika cannot find the ticket. She realizes she mistook the pouch for a stuffed animal and sent it away in a box of Mocha Bunny dolls for a crane game prize. She calls the shipping company, but the boxes have already been handed to a subcontractor.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama suggests having Himika&#039;s father call the subcontractor to track down the pouch. Himika&#039;s father does so. The company says they will search for it.&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Rena calls Himika. She saw the Baby Bunny pouch in a crane game at an arcade. Himika, Kako, Ayame, Rena, and Kaede go to the arcade. The pouch is in the replenishment case, meaning Himika must win all the Mocha Bunnies already out to reach it. Himika decides to use a strategy but is short on money.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika observes other players to learn techniques, calling it &amp;quot;crane training.&amp;quot; She strategizes to create an avalanche by knocking down piles of plushies. She successfully clears most of the machine. The staff restocks the machine, placing the pouch inside surrounded by four giant Mocha Bunnies.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika aims to move two bunnies out of the way to reach the pouch. She successfully clears the pandas and one bunny. She realizes there are two Baby Bunny pouches, not one. She cannot tell which is hers. She has only three tries left. She misses on two tries. On her final try, she aims for both pouches at once and succeeds. The crowd applauds.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Himika&#039;s family goes on the tropical vacation. She explains that when she asked Kyubey to cure her dad, what she really wanted was for her family to be back together. She later learns from a staff member that if she had explained the situation at first, they would have just given her the pouch back. All&#039;s well that ends well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ren Isuzu&#039;s Heartphial Story: Color to a Colorless World===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren Isuzu reflects on her life. She tried to end it twice, but now she is living her life. On the day she was saved, she found a shining light here in this world, and it made her think it is not worth giving up on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before becoming meguca). Ren writes in her journal and draws illustrations. She tells a story about a bear cub who lives in a gray world after dying. The bear cub is happy because no one will be mean to her anymore. Ren realizes she is the bear cub. She has been bullied her whole life. She tried to kill herself but did not want to die. Kyubey appeared and granted her wish to live. She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey told her that Witches can cause bullying. Ren decided to fight Witches to build a kinder world. But she realized that some people are just bad, and defeating Witches does not change that. She attempted suicide again. Rika found her and stopped her. Rika became her light. Rika introduced her to new friends and gave her presents. Rika said that as long as you have one shining thing in the world, you can keep going.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (present) Ren and Rika go shopping. Ren finds an earring someone dropped and returns it. The owner is grateful. Ren feels happy and buys a colored pencil. She thinks about adding color to her bear story. She decides to use the Cherry Pink pencil because Rika loves pink. She writes about a Spirit of Light that appears before the bear cub and shows her that the world is not actually gray—it is full of colors.&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri shows Ren a kaleidoscope. Hinano invites her to make one. Akira helps her carry a package. Konomi gives her flowers. Kanoko shows her a mushroom-themed clothing design. Ren writes about the bear cub meeting a Spirit of Light with many friends—a butterfly, a shrub, a lion, a tulip, and a mushroom. The Gray World gradually takes on color. The bear cub does not want it to end.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren invites Rika to a picture book exhibition. Rika declines because she has plans. Ren is rejected and embarrassed. She invites Rika to a teddy bear exhibition. Rika declines again, saying she has lessons. Ren is sad. She sees Rika with Emiri and Kanoko, and Rika says she has no lessons. Ren feels betrayed. The bear cub realizes the Spirit of Light is disappearing from her world. The world goes back to gray.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika messages Ren, apologizing and saying she was planning a surprise birthday party. Ren does not reply. She hides in a dark room at school. Rika finds her and calls her instead of opening the door. Rika explains she wanted to surprise Ren. She gives Ren a set of 12 colored pencils with a carved lily of the valley on the case. Ren cries and thanks her. The bear cub looks up and sees the Spirit of Light smiling at her. Her world is once again filled with light.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ren buys another colored pencil. She notices the name is &amp;quot;Blue Sky&amp;quot; instead of &amp;quot;Sky Blue.&amp;quot; She hears a voice talking about the Rumor of Parallel Memories. She feels dizzy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren dreams she is dead. She cannot see or touch her parents. They mourn her suicide. She never became a Magical Girl and never met Rika. She watches her friends go to the teddy bear exhibition without her. She is invisible. She feels awful and wants to go back to the land of the living. She remembers the colored pencil with the different name—that must be the proof of another world. She holds it and wishes to live. She wakes up. It was all a dream. Rika messages her to join everyone for snacks. Ren goes to meet them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren finishes her bear story. The gatekeeper asks the bear cub if she has any regrets. The bear cub says yes. She wishes to leave behind her journal, filled with entries about the Spirit of Light and all the sparkles she showed her. The gatekeeper opens the gates. The bear cub does not say goodbye because she knows she will see the Spirit of Light again someday in the World of Light. Ren realizes the bear cub is reborn, just like she was when she met Rika and her friends. She can live in a world full of color.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Childhood) Konoha&#039;s father was a businessman whose business went bankrupt after she was born. He died from stress, and her mother passed away soon after. Konoha was sent to an orphanage called Azalea House. Her heart was frozen, but the director&#039;s kindness slowly brought color back to her world. She met Hazuki and Ayame there. They became sisters bound by a bond stronger than blood. The director treated them like family.&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before becoming Magical Girls) Azalea House was to be torn down due to unknown powerful forces. The stress of it claimed the director&#039;s life. Kyubey appeared and offered contracts. Konoha wanted to become a Magical Girl alone to protect her sisters, but they insisted on joining her. They made their wishes: Konoha wished for the Azalea House to last forever. Hazuki wished to eliminate all causes that threatened it. Ayame wished for everyone at the orphanage to forget they were ever there. They left Azalea House and have lived together ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Konoha visits Azalea House with Hazuki and Ayame. She reflects on their journey. They part ways, and Konoha goes to the department store sale to buy truffles. She bumps into Kanoko and swaps bags by accident. She ends up with chocolate truffles instead of mushroom ones. Mitama messages Kanoko, who replies with emojis indicating she is near the Kamihama University Affiliated School. Konoha and Mitama go to find her.&lt;br /&gt;
** They find Kanoko chasing a bus. She left her bag on the bus. They catch up to the bus, but the bag is already gone. Mitama contacts Asuka, who picked up the bag for safekeeping. They go to the dojo where Asuka teaches. Asuka reveals she bumped into Momoko at a convenience store and may have switched bags again. Mitama tries to contact Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, but none of them answer. They fear the team may have encountered a strong Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha and Asuka search for Momoko&#039;s team. They enter a Labyrinth and find Nanaka&#039;s team struggling against a Witch. They help defeat it. Nanaka&#039;s team has not seen Momoko. Everyone fears the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to Mitama&#039;s shop and Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive unharmed. They had turned off their phones to watch a movie. Momoko reveals she left the bag at Blossom. Konoha goes to Blossom and retrieves her truffles. She also receives free flowers because today is a special anniversary.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha explains to Mitama that today is the anniversary of the day the three sisters left Azalea House and started living together. She wants to make it a special day for Ayame and Hazuki.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Hazuki Yusa&#039;s Heartphial Story: The Distance Between Us===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki Yusa reflects on her life. Azalea House was the place that taught her to smile again, the place that rescued her from the torment she covered up with a false grin. She was not going to lose it, no matter what it took.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A teacher asks Hazuki to deliver worksheets to Nanaka. Hazuki is reluctant because Konoha distrusts Nanaka after an incident where Nanaka&#039;s team tricked them into fighting a powerful Witch. Hazuki delivers the worksheets. Nanaka suggests they should share information without secrets. Hazuki agrees to try building trust, but she remains wary.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki arrives at the school camp. She is assigned to orienteering setup with Nanaka. They are paired together by random draw. They work through checkpoints. The map notes are outdated, and they get lost. It starts raining heavily.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the storm, the rope bridge collapses due to the rain. Hazuki and Nanaka cannot cross the river. They find an old shack for shelter. They huddle together for warmth. Hazuki shares her past: her parents died in an accident when she was young. She was shuffled between relatives until she ended up at Azalea House. She learned to hide her fear behind a smile. The director taught her to smile when her heart truly felt it. She met Konoha and Ayame there. They became family. They made wishes to protect Azalea House and left to live together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka listens quietly. She says she finally understands Hazuki&#039;s true self. Nanaka grows pale and cold. Hazuki worries she might collapse. Hazuki insists they huddle closer. Nanaka admits she is cold. They wait together.&lt;br /&gt;
** The rain stops. Akira and others find them at the shack. They are taken back to camp. The nurse checks them. Hazuki and Nanaka are cleared to stay. Nanaka is grateful for Hazuki&#039;s help.

&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame writes a letter to the Director, the late head of Azalea House. She explains that she, Konoha, and Hazuki are Magical Girls now. Konoha warns Ayame to stay away from Nanaka&#039;s team after a recent incident. Ayame agrees but secretly plans to meet up with Kako anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayame and Kako meet in secret. They are friends but cannot openly hang out because their teams do not get along. Ayame complains about the situation. Kako shows her a book about ocean adventures. Ayame becomes curious about whether the ocean boils when the sun sets. They decide to go to the beach together to find out.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame and Kako take a train and a bus toward the beach. Ayame is excited. Konoha calls and texts repeatedly, but Ayame ignores her. They get off the bus when it breaks down and take a detour. They discover a field of sunflowers. They share cup noodles together. Ayame turns off her phone. Kako also ignores Nanaka&#039;s messages to focus on their adventure. They finally reach the beach and watch the sunset together. Ayame still cannot tell if the ocean boils, but she is happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback - Azalea House) Ayame dreams of the Director. She remembers the day Azalea House was going to be torn down. The Director had already passed away. Konoha, Hazuki, and Ayame met Kyubey and decided to become Magical Girls. Ayame wished for Azalea House to stay open forever. Konoha wished to eliminate all threats to it. They decided on a third wish: to have everyone at Azalea House forget they were ever there. They left the orphanage and started living together. Ayame remembers Konoha&#039;s promise that they would always be together. She reflects on her conflict with Konoha over her friendship with Kako. She wishes the Director could tell her what to do.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Ayame wakes up at Kako&#039;s relatives&#039; house. Konoha has arrived. She found Ayame by asking Nanaka to track Kako&#039;s location. Ayame refuses to go home, saying Konoha has been stifling her. She promises to tell Konoha where she is next time. Konoha apologizes. She did not realize how her words were making Ayame feel. She promises to talk things through with Hazuki and Ayame. Kako is relieved. Ayame treasures the memory of her adventure. She promises never to forget it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Masara Kagami&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Flame Kindled in the Vastness===&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara Kagami reflects on her life. After becoming a Magical Girl, not much felt dramatically different. But encounters and experiences since have changed her. She thinks her dull and pointless life has just gotten a little more colorful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara finds the world boring. She is good at swimming but lacks passion. Kyubey appears and offers her any wish. She wishes for a load of money and becomes a Magical Girl. She fights Witches, and the excitement fades quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara meets Kokoro Awane in a Labyrinth. Kokoro is uncomfortable with Masara&#039;s reckless fighting and tells her to protect herself more. Masara says she does not care if she dies. Kokoro says her family would care. Masara questions why Kokoro blames herself for her family&#039;s problems. Kokoro asks if they can stick together. Masara agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a Witch hunt, they&#039;re attacked by a Witch and Masara takes a hit to protect Kokoro. She gets a scar. She starts avoiding Kokoro because she does not understand her feelings. Mitama explains that Masara fears seeing Kokoro get hurt, so she avoids her to prevent that pain. Masara realizes she fears losing Kokoro, so they reconcile.&lt;br /&gt;
* The swim club announces the relay team. Masara is chosen but declines, saying she is not good at team sports. Koshino, who has always been second to Masara, is chosen as her replacement. Koshino vows to beat Masara&#039;s record.&lt;br /&gt;
* While Kokoro and Masara go on patrol, they see Koshino training alone after school hours. Koshino tells Masara she beat her personal record. Masara is puzzled by Koshino&#039;s passion.&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Masara passes Koshino training again. They start talking about her times regularly. Kokoro notes that Koshino will never catch up to Masara&#039;s times. Masara wonders what drives Koshino.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days before the competition, Koshino beats Masara&#039;s record once. The swim club captain praises her. Masara feels something but cannot identify it. She is not annoyed. She does not know what she feels.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day before the competition, Koshino has an accident and cannot compete. Masara agrees to take her place. She is surprised by her own motivation. Kokoro notices the change.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the competition, Masara swims well. Her team finishes second, but she was in the lead when passing the baton. Koshino comes to watch and thanks Masara for doing the race for her. Kokoro says Masara has changed. Masara decides she wants to keep swimming a while longer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika Ayano&#039;s Heartphial Story: Haunting Love, Haunting Mistake===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika Ayano reflects on her life. She does not want to feel like she became a Magical Girl for nothing. She got to see what dating is like and made loads of friends. But sins do not wash away so easily. That is the price you pay for a miracle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback, but the entirety seems like mostly a flashback) Kyubey offers Rika any wish in exchange for becoming a Magical Girl. Hinano warns her not to do it, but Rika ignores the advice. She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Riko Chiaki&#039;s Heartphial Story: Worked Out with a Woof===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki reflects on her life. Even though her mom and dad were hardly home because of work, she never felt lonely as long as Miss K was around. She cared about her so much that she just wanted to help her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback) Riko helps out at her parents&#039; bento store. She is close with Miss K, the daughter of the hardware store owner next door. Miss K has always been like a big sister to her. Miss K cries to Riko that her father opposes her marriage because he does not want her to move far away. Riko wishes to Kyubey for Miss K&#039;s marriage to be accepted. She becomes a Magical Girl. Miss K gets married and moves away. Riko misses her but does not regret her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Riko goes filming with Ashley. She tells Ashley about Miss K. She explains that Miss K&#039;s father never fully accepted the marriage, and they have not made up. Riko receives a message from Miss K saying she was in the hospital because she was pregnant. She invites Riko to visit her new house. Riko goes and meets the baby. Miss K asks Riko to be friends with her child. Riko becomes like a big sister to the baby. She feels happy that her wish came true but is sad Miss K and her father never reconciled.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko walks Mameji and sees Miss K&#039;s father standing outside the hardware store, looking sad. She wonders what is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley advises Riko to ask Miss K directly if she wants to make up with her father. Riko texts Miss K and asks to meet. Miss K replies that she will come to Riko&#039;s town instead. Riko is excited.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Miss K visits Riko. They talk about her father. Miss K says she wants to make up with him but does not know how. Riko suggests inviting him to meet the baby, giving him a present, or going on a family trip. Miss K doubts any of it will work. They walk to Riko&#039;s store together. They encounter Miss K&#039;s father outside. Riko admits she asked Miss K to come so they could patch things up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Miss K&#039;s father reveals he brought a herbarium to Riko&#039;s store. It was originally meant as a gift for his grandchild, but he could not bring himself to deliver it. Riko realizes Mameji had been guiding her this whole time. Earlier, Mameji had barked at the cake that turned out to be from Miss K&#039;s father. Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky. She realizes she is dying, having protected Yachiyo. She remembers how everyone was fighting for dear life. She wished she were stronger to help them. She is sorry for not being stronger. She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ashley Taylor&#039;s Heartphial Story: Can&#039;t Be Myself Without What I Love===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley Taylor reflects on her life. Studying in Japan is awesome fun. She wants to find more kawaii for her vlog viewers back home and asks her father to watch over her while she pursues her passions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley vlogs with Riko&#039;s help. She films herself shopping for Magical Kirin merch and gurokawa items. After editing and uploading the video, she replies to comments from her followers. She thinks about her father and hopes he is watching.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley remembers the day she wanted to study abroad in Japan. Her father refused without giving a clear reason, which was unusual. Kyubey appeared and offered to grant any wish. Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko notices Ashley seems down. She worries Ashley is overworking herself by vlogging daily and replying to comments late at night. Ashley says it does not feel like work because she loves it. She thanks Riko for being a kind friend. They go out to film another vlog.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley continues vlogging daily. She worries about skipping a day because her followers might unfollow her. She wakes up to find Kumanosuke missing. She panics, feeling like her world is ending. Riko arrives with a bento and finds Ashley crying. Ashley explains she lost Kumanosuke. Riko comforts her and says it is okay to skip a vlog. Ashley admits she has been using followers&#039; comments to fill the hole left by her father&#039;s death. Riko says she understands loss—she misses her sister who moved far away. They decide to search for Kumanosuke.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko suggests Ashley ask her followers for help finding Kumanosuke. During a live stream, a commenter suggests rewatching her previous vlog. Ashley realizes she left Kumanosuke on a chair when she got distracted by a crane machine. They find Kumanosuke on a shelf at the store, dressed in Waloli Gurokawa clothes. Ashley gets him back. She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo finds an old photo album while cleaning. She shows it to Iroha, Tsuruno, Sana, Felicia, and Ui. The photos are from seven years ago, when Mikazuki Villa was a boarding house. Iroha notices a girl standing next to Yachiyo and her grandmother—it is Mifuyu with long hair. Yachiyo explains she knew Mifuyu back then and they fought Witches together. Tsuruno is shocked and Yachiyo says they did not leave a good first impression on each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seven Years Ago&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo fights her first Witch. She is scared but determined. Inside the barrier, she finds another Magical Girl crying. The girl is too frightened to fight. Yachiyo tries to cooperate, but the girl runs away. Yachiyo defeats the Witch alone. Afterward, she confronts the crying girl and tells her that if she cannot fight, she should quit. The girl begs Yachiyo not to leave her alone. Yachiyo is harsh but later realizes she is also scared. Both girls cry alone, afraid of being Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo is the leader of her model unit. The other members are starting to trust her. One member, Yellow, still does not approve of Yachiyo as leader. Yachiyo continues working hard. After her lesson, she defeats a Familiar. She encounters Mifuyu again. Mifuyu says she felt the Familiar&#039;s presence but was too scared to enter the barrier. Yachiyo is harsh again, but Mifuyu says she wants to talk properly. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives and invites Mifuyu to a candy store. Mifuyu has never been to one before. She is amazed by the syrup. The grandmother invites her to visit Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s unit has a successful photoshoot. She feels happy. Later, she senses a powerful Witch and enters the barrier. Two other Magical Girls are already fighting it. Yachiyo asks to join them, but they attack her. They say the Witch is their prey and threaten her. Mifuyu appears and says they should cooperate. The other girls ignore her and lure the Witch toward Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Mifuyu protects Yachiyo and gets injured. They escape together and rest in a park. Yachiyo shares her grief seed with Mifuyu. They introduce themselves. Yachiyo learns Mifuyu comes from a strict family with nine lessons. Mifuyu became a Magical Girl to dream freely. They bond over their shared struggles. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to visit again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu visits Mikazuki Villa. She brings sweets. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother shows the album and the magazine featuring Yachiyo&#039;s unit. The older boarders ask Mifuyu for a cute nickname for Yachiyo. Mifuyu suggests &amp;quot;Yacchan.&amp;quot; Yachiyo likes it. That night, a Witch appears near the station. They fight together and save a boarder from Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo suggests they team up because they are both weak and will become stronger together. Mifuyu agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Yachiyo and Mifuyu continue patrolling. Mifuyu&#039;s parents increase her lessons because they suspect she is sneaking out to play. Yachiyo feels guilty. They decide to reduce patrols for the next week.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s manager tells her the unit will be disbanded at the end of the month. Yachiyo is devastated. Her wish to keep the unit alive was meaningless. She meets Mifuyu at the candy store. Mifuyu has been scolded and had her phone taken away. She says she cannot endure her life anymore. Yachiyo blames herself for dragging Mifuyu around. A Witch appears. They fight it, but two other Magical Girls show up and attack them. The Witch kills one of them. Yachiyo and Mifuyu fight the Witch together and defeat it. The surviving Magical Girl takes the grief seed and leaves. Yachiyo and Mifuyu are broken. They ask Kyubey to let them quit, but he refuses.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo finds a grief seed left behind by the surviving Magical Girl. She realizes she saved the girl&#039;s life. Mifuyu says that even though their wishes were meaningless, they are still alive and can protect what is important. Yachiyo recalls her grandmother&#039;s words about leaving feelings behind through letters. She decides she and Mifuyu should exchange letters to leave their feelings behind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day at Mikazuki Villa&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu continue looking through the photo album. Mifuyu says the letters were their hope and their weakness. She suggests they stop exchanging letters because they are now seniors who must be strong. Yachiyo refuses. She says the letters keep her tied to reality and give her hope. Mifuyu agrees to continue. They find an old letter Yachiyo wrote. Yachiyo says she will write this year&#039;s letter. Mifuyu promises to write one too. They vow to exchange letters forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls in Kush, who transforms into a vampire and she wins the contest. Natsuki takes second place and Karin takes third place. A commemorative photo is taken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin completes her manga, &amp;quot;The Pumpkin King and the Ghost Servant.&amp;quot; She shows it to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede who praise it, giving it 100 points or more. Kaede appreciates the happy ending. Karin is moved by Kaede&#039;s approval. Manaka arrives with pumpkin pie for a taste test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the Sakae Halloween Festa, Karin arrives at the festival in her Pumpkin King costume. Alina is also present, already dressed as the ghost servant from Karin&#039;s manga. Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head of the executive committee thanks Karin for recommending Alina as the face of the event. Karin reflects on her hope that Alina will one day atone for her sins and reach a happy ending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka-senpai&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Day in the Life of Madoka-senpai===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This article details the events and stories taking place in, during and between the chapters of Arc 2 of [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]], up until the conclusion of Magia Record entirely. It is possible that there are days between the ones listed, as well as some events from different sources (such as Main Story and Another Story) having taken place on different days from each other. Due to the uncertainty of the passage of time, this article is best understood as a summary of events in approximate chronological order. In lack of contradictory context clues, the release date, or order of release of the event were used for their placement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The divide between the days isn&#039;t done strictly at midnight, as determining that would be a guess at best. Instead, consecutive days are separated by the rise of dawn signifying the next day, or alternatively a big passage of time skipped within the same night. As there are unspecified numbers of days in or between the chapters of Arc 2, as well as the part of the story being after Arc 2&#039;s conclusion, this article is split into nine parts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Prologue and Chapter 1&lt;br /&gt;
# Chapters 2 and 3&lt;br /&gt;
# Chapter 4&lt;br /&gt;
# Chapter 5 &lt;br /&gt;
# Chapter 6 &lt;br /&gt;
# Chapters 7 and 8&lt;br /&gt;
# Chapters 9 through 12 and Epilogue&lt;br /&gt;
# Unknown Placement (this section details events that take place before the conclusion of Arc 2, but otherwise their exact details are unable to be fully determined)&lt;br /&gt;
# Post-Arc 2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Following the events of Magia Record is [[Timeline/Magia Exedra]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Part 1==&lt;br /&gt;
The first part of the story of Arc 2 officially starts with the [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Prologue|Arc 2 Prologue]], and ends with [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 1|Chapter 1]]. Based on the characters&#039; dialogue, these seven days are verifiably consecutive to each other with seemingly no breaks in between.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;First Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* After class, Kagome reflects on her inability to act on her resolve to help Magical Girls. She thinks of Iroha and finally feels ready to take action on her own and spread the word of their existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Prologue|Arc 2 Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103101 kimochi encount.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui alerts the rest of the Mikazuki team to a strange Labyrinth. They encounter an entity that somehow uses the defeated [[Uwasa of the Friendship Ending Staircase]], but the entity itself is neither a Witch nor a known Uwasa. The entity proves to be exceptionally powerful, and during the battle, it targets the Magical Girls&#039; Soul Gems. Tsuruno and Sana are injured defending each other, but Iroha, Yachiyo, Ui, and Felicia manage to defeat it together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The entity does not leave behind a Grief Seed, but instead, a mysterious, indestructible bracelet attaches itself to Iroha&#039;s arm. The bracelet also resists all attempts to remove it and emits strong magic. Yachiyo suggests gathering information from their contacts and Ui and Lil&#039; Kyubey speculate the object wants to go somewhere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During this time, Kagome, now aware of the Magical Girl system, writes to document their struggle and bring their hidden sacrifices to light. She seeks to brighten the light of Magical Girls by revealing the truth of their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Second Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after Mikazuki&#039;s battle with the entity, Kagome reflects on the information she has gathered about Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, the Wings of the Magius, and the Automatic Purification System. She documents Kamihama as a special place where Magical Girls are freed from becoming Witches, though this system is fragile.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 1: Forward with the Sound of Shoes|Arc 2, Chapter 1: Forward with the Sound of Shoes]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls prepare for school. Felicia is anxious about a quiz, and the others have to physically carry her out the door.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day at school, during English class, Iroha is distracted, worrying about the long-term consequences of the Automatic Purification System, specifically the depletion of Grief Seeds and the potential release of Doppels. Her distraction causes her to give an incorrect answer in class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During lunch, Iroha shows the mysterious object attached to her arm to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, who have no knowledge of Witches leaving such objects. Iroha explains the entity they fought used the Uwasa of the Friendship Ending Staircase as Familiars and felt different from both Witches and Uwasa. Momoko suggests Iroha bring the matter to the regional leaders&#039; meeting scheduled for that day to see if similar incidents occurred in other wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka, Nemu, and Mifuyu discuss the difficulties of expanding the Purification System. They conclude that expanding the system beyond Kamihama is currently impossible, as they do not even understand its base of operations within the city. The Eternal Sakura returns and reports that a Kamihama Magia Union meeting is occurring, which will include Iroha and Ui. She urges Touka and Nemu to attend, but they refuse, stating they have prior obligations to help Mifuyu study.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a playground, Kako, Ayame, and Felicia play together and Felicia mentions she must leave to attend a Kamihama Magia Union meeting. Kako and Ayame reveal that their respective teams have policies against joining the Union, and Felicia reassures them that they can still cooperate and share information when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 1: Choose For Yourself, Without Being Overwhelmed|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 1: Choose For Yourself, Without Being Overwhelmed]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the regional leaders&#039; meeting, Iroha presents a report from Touka on the Automatic Purification System. The report states the system continues to function but its Labyrinth&#039;s location remains unknown. Its nature is undefined, as it is a conceptual entity formed from Lil&#039; Kyubey and Ui, making its energy requirements unclear. The report concludes that expansion of the system is currently impossible. Iroha and Ui also confirm they cannot sense the system&#039;s location and that Lil&#039; Kyubey also has no information.&lt;br /&gt;
* The discussion shifts to the mysterious object on Iroha&#039;s arm and they describe the powerful entity they fought, which used Uwasa as Familiars. Ryo, as a former White Feather, states the Wings of the Magius had no knowledge of such a combined entity and notes the object appears clearly in her photographs.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reports that while no one in the Eastern Ward has encountered such a being, there are reports of strange magic being felt. Hinano states she will alert the Magical Girls in the Southern Wards as well and Kanagi agrees to remain vigilant, given the warning about the entity&#039;s power.&lt;br /&gt;
* The meeting concludes and Kanagi notes the positive change in Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls now working as allies. The group disperses: Hinano and Ryo head south, Ui and Sana go grocery shopping for Mikazuki Villa, and Tsuruno and Felicia return to Banbanzai. Kanagi suggests Iroha have Mitama examine the mysterious bracelet as a Coordinator. Despite concerns that probing its magic could trigger a reaction, Yachiyo agrees, as leaving it unattended is also a risk.&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, after Nanaka&#039;s team defeat a Witch, they discuss whether to join the Kamihama Magia Union. Akira advocates for joining, while Nanaka and Meiyui oppose the idea, as they distrust the former Magius members. When asked, Kako recalls positive encounters with Union members but ultimately also decides not to participate. Nanaka concludes the discussion, stating it is too early to join and Akira agrees to stop pressing the issue. The meeting ends as the team is approached by a member of Promised Blood.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Elsewhere, Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame are also confronted by a Magical Girl from Promised Blood. The girl confirms the three are from Kamihama and immediately attacks with other assailants. Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame win the fight and the Promised Blood members retreat, vowing never to forgive the Magical Girls of Kamihama. After the fight, the team notes the attackers specifically targeted their Soul Gems and Hazuki decides to gather information to determine if Magia Union and other local teams are also under attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that evening, as Ui and Sana shop, they sense the magic of an unknown Magical Girl approaching. Nearby, Ryo and Hinano confirm recent eyewitness reports of unfamiliar Magical Girls in the city as well. The unknown Magical Girl passes by the group and heads toward Shinsei Ward. Ryo takes a photograph, but the image is blurry and the individual is unidentifiable. The group expresses concern for Iroha&#039;s safety in particular in Shinsei Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Sakae Academy, Ikumi visits Karin, who remains at school late, unwilling to return home because her grandmother worries about her depression over Alina&#039;s disappearance. Karin shows Ikumi artwork Alina created, all themed around life, and insists the Alina she knew would not try to destroy the city. Ikumi confirms, based on her and Ryo&#039;s accounts, that Alina was one of the three Magius who led the Wings of the Magius and was willing to sacrifice the city. Karin believes Alina stopped coming because she was angry at Karin&#039;s lack of artistic improvement and vows to practice until Alina returns, but Ikumi tells her that people have more than one side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Kanagi senses the magic of a mysterious Magical Girl but is unable to find her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Third Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day after the sighting of unknown Magical Girls, Kanagi visits Mitama to discuss the reports of them. Mitama confirms that some of her clients have fragmented memories of such encounters but no concrete sightings. They briefly discuss the political fallout in Chuo Ward, as the East has been handling the cleanup from Eve&#039;s rampage and the mayor has been forced to resign. They also bring up the stable state of the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Mikazuki Villa team arrive and Yachiyo confirms there are multiple unknown Magical Girls in Kamihama. They show Ryo&#039;s photo as evidence and the group discusses the possibility that these are hostile Magical Girls from outside Kamihama. Mitama attempts to read the magical signatures from Ui&#039;s memories but finds no clear information either, so the group agrees to circulate a warning. Mitama then examines the mysterious bracelet on Iroha&#039;s arm and confirms it is magically sealed and cannot be removed. Upon probing the jewel, Mitama discovers it contains an unbelievable amount of magic, far beyond a normal Witch&#039;s power. As she probes deeper into the magic, Iroha cries out in pain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the procedure, Iroha has a vision of the &amp;quot;Witch&amp;quot; they defeated, [[Joyful - Sapphire Lips]]. The entity communicates with her, revealing it is not hostile and explains that because Iroha defeated it, it has entrusted its life to her in the form of the bracelet. The entity states the bracelet can only be removed and given to someone Iroha would trust with her own life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha wakes up and tells Mitama and the others about her vision. She believes the bracelet isn’t malicious, but is bound to her through a pact formed during their battle. Tsuruno suggests returning to the original battle site to look for clues, and Yachiyo agrees, warning that harmless doesn’t mean safe. Iroha, Ui, and the others head there. After they leave, Mitama recalls how Iroha’s recovered memories once triggered major events in Kamihama, giving her a strong sense of déjà vu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group searches the area for magical traces but finds nothing. Sana and Ui sense the same magical signature as the day before, then encounter a group of unfamiliar Magical Girls. The newcomers say they want the massive energy once present there, as well as the lives of Kamihama’s Magical Girls. They reveal they’re from Futatsugi City and resent Kamihama for the deaths of their comrades.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A battle breaks out, and the Futatsugi Magical Girls prove to be very powerful. Their leader, [[Yuna Kureha]], and her subordinate, [[Hikaru Kirari]], demand Iroha’s bracelet, calling it revenge for their fallen allies. Felicia is badly injured, and Ui leaves to get help. She soon returns with Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, forcing the Futatsugi group to retreat. Before leaving, Yuna and Hikaru name themselves and vow to reclaim what was “forged in their blood.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team brings Felicia to Mitama and asks whether she enhanced the Futatsugi Magical Girls, since their strength rivaled her clients’. Mitama denies knowing them, but reveals she learned her Coordination skills from a teacher, so there may now be other Coordinators in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Puella Care trailer, Yuna and Hikaru meet with [[Livia Medeiros]], Mitama&#039;s previous teacher, who performs a service of Coordination on them and gives them advice to not lose sight of their original goal while investigating Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103101 pb encount.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that night in Futatsugi, Yuna interrogates and executes a girl from Kamihama who stumbled upon their location and was a member of the organization known as Neo-Magius. Hikaru assists with the disposal of the body, and the group, which also includes [[Juri Oba]] and [[Ao Kasane]], discusses their recent reconnaissance. Yuna reports that the Kamihama Magical Girls appear ignorant of the Promised Blood&#039;s motives, and Hikaru confirms they are strong enough to provide a challenge for Juri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* During this time, Kagome speaks with Kyubey. She refuses to answer his requests, stating she made a promise with an old scholar and another entity. Her mission is to record and spread the knowledge of Magical Girls to the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Elsewhere in Kamihama, [[Shizuka Tokime]] becomes trapped in a train station gate, unable to exit because her transit card lacks funds. Her companions, [[Chiharu Hiroe]] and [[Sunao Toki]], attempt to instruct her on how to use the fare adjustment machine, and Chiharu leaves to find a station attendant to help them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome observes growing unrest in Kamihama, noting the arrival of foreign Magical Girls, the mysterious bracelet, and the rising sense of unease across the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa visit Mifuyu to check on her. While there, Yachiyo and Mifuyu discuss the increase in hostile Magical Girls from outside Kamihama and Iroha’s bracelet. Mifuyu suggests having Touka and Nemu examine it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Promised Blood, led by Yuna, Juri, Ao, and Hikaru, interrogates a captured Kamihama Magical Girl to gather information. Frustrated by the resilience of the city’s Magical Girls, Yuna orders Hikaru to scout Kamihama for targets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, while grocery shopping to avoid an impromptu spicy dinner by Tsuruno, Iroha and Ui encounter Shizuka, Chiharu and Sunao struggling to pay at a register. Iroha helps them, and after learning they are new to the city, they offer to show them around and agree to meet again the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That evening, Yachiyo asks Iroha to take the bracelet to Touka and Nemu for inspection. Iroha explains she already plans to help Shizuka, Chiharu and Sunao, so Sana agrees to accompany Ui to ensure her safety instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fifth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia meet up with Shizuka, Sunao, and Chiharu. Tsuruno hears the three needs to get used to crowds fast, so she suggests heading to Kamihama&#039;s busiest spot, ya packed city center. Shizuka and Chiharu struggle at first, with Chiharu feeling nauseous from all the people. But after a bit, Shizuka pushes through, and they all enjoy food together. They then head to a clothing district, but Chiharu remains unwell, so they decide to go to a large park in western Sakae Ward, which Sana believes will have few people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo visit Touka and Nemu to have Iroha&#039;s bracelet examined. The analysis requires the use of the Eternal Sakura Uwasa, which in turn requires the presence of Iroha, Touka, Nemu, and Ui together. As Ui is absent, the analysis is postponed, but during the visit, Nemu reveals she created one final, unaccounted-for Rumor during her confrontation with [[Holy Alina]], but she cannot detect it despite its existence being recorded in her book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Elsewhere, Mifuyu meets with Tsukuyo and Tsukasa to discuss that a faction of former Wings of the Magius Feathers has begun mobilizing again, operating secretly at night. Mifuyu is concerned that this faction is acting against them despite sharing the same goal of liberating Magical Girls. They decide to also meet with Kanagi and Mitama to discuss the situation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In an unknown location, Juri had interrogated a captive Neo-Magius Feather and learns that the captive&#039;s allies are gathering at a massive radio telescope in the mountains to seek backup. Yuna and the other sisters deduce they are likely meeting with a strategic leader and decide to target this gathering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Kanagi&#039;s cafe, Mifuyu informs Kanagi about the mobilizing Feathers and Kanagi agrees to accompany Mifuyu to meet Mitama, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa after she finishes her shift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the park, Ui receives a message from Iroha, requesting she come to see the Eternal Sakura. The group discusses Chiharu&#039;s nausea in crowds and Chiharu reveals she can sense people&#039;s malice, which overwhelms her in dense areas. Tsuruno deduces that the three of them are Magical Girls, which they also confirm. They explain they came to Kamihama from their secluded village and Shizuka expresses relief at finding friendly Magical Girls in the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Suddenly, the Tokime Clan senses a powerful magical presence they mistake for a Witch. Ui identifies it as the same kind of unknown entity her team fought before and warns them it is a severe threat. Despite the warning, the Tokime Clan insists on confronting it to purify the land of Japan and help Chiharu. Ui reveals she can sense its location and the seven Maical Girls decide to pursue it. They encounter the Uwasa of the Memory Curator and its Familiars along the way, and the Tokime Clan initially fights alone but are overwhelmed, so the others intervene to assist. After a difficult battle, Shizuka delivers the killing blow to the &amp;quot;Witch,&amp;quot; [[Obedient - Ruby Navel]].&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The entity does not drop a Grief Seed and instead, a bracelet appears on Shizuka&#039;s wrist, just like it did with Iroha. The Tokime Clan speculates the bracelet, which contains powerful magic, is the object they have been tasked to collect. Tsuruno also connects this to the earlier attack by the Futatsugi girls, who were also seeking these bracelets, but the reason why multiple groups are collecting the bracelets remains unknown to them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna and Promised Blood detect a powerful magic signature in eastern Kamihama, so Yuna and Hikaru plan to defeat the leaders of Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls while the other two sisters are tasked with securing the source of the strong magical power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Elsewhere, Mifuyu, Mitama, and other veteran Magical Girls discuss the resurgence of the Wings of the Magius. Mitama reveals that the new faction&#039;s motivation is not just liberation, but &amp;quot;Magical Girl Supremacy,&amp;quot; an ideology they inherited from Touka. Mifuyu also fears Touka and Nemu will also be targeted for kidnapping to advance this goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo are with Touka and Nemu when members of the new Wings of the Magius, wearing new uniforms, arrive. They declare their intent to fulfill Touka&#039;s ideals, which they define as more than just liberation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Tokime Clan explains to Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia that their goal is not the bracelet itself, but the powerful magic contained within it. They state their objective is to acquire a share of Kamihama&#039;s Automatic Purification System for their village and that this information came from Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Separately, Kagome searches the mountains, as she hears the voices of Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime state that Kyubey told them they could obtain a part of the Automatic Purification System by gathering strong magic in Kamihama. The others are alarmed by Kyubey&#039;s involvement and Ui receives a message from Iroha indicating that Touka and Nemu are in danger, prompting the entire group to head to help them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Yachiyo, Touka, and Nemu are confronted by the new faction calling themselves the Neo-Magius, who have inherited the ideals of Touka and Nemu. Their goal is to seize the Automatic Purification System, the power of which they sense within Iroha&#039;s bracelet, and restrict its use to their followers. Touka and Nemu acknowledge these are their past ideas but the Neo-Magius have distorted them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri and Ao are also tracking the strong magical energy signal in the same eastern direction and they observe members of the Neo-Magius. They decide to follow them to the source of the power rather than confront them directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Elsewhere, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede meet with Tsukuyo and Tsukasa. The Amane sisters report that the Neo-Magius are heading for the radio telescope. They also report detecting numerous magical reactions from Magical Girls not native to Kamihama, who are gathering in the area. The group/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryo and Ikumi arrive, searching for Karin. Ikumi explains that Karin ran off after learning the new Wings of the Magius tried to recruit her, believing it could be a clue to Alina&#039;s whereabouts. Momoko invites Ryo and Ikumi to join their investigation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Neo-Magius members, [[Shigure Miyabi]] and [[Hagumu Azumi]], attempt to persuade Touka and Nemu to lead their faction, but they refuse again and Nemu also deduces that the pair&#039;s true motive is a desire to use their Magical Girl status to escape their own misery and gain self-worth. Iroha tries to empathize with them, but Shigure and Hagumu reject her perspective and attempt to kidnap Touka and Nemu by force.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo give chase through the forest while Sakurako holds off other Neo-Magius members. As Iroha and Yachiyo urge the pair to stand down, Yuna and Hikaru arrive and Yuna reveals they were given the location by a Neo-Magius member they previously captured and killed. Yuna and Hikaru declare their intent to eliminate Touka and Nemu, and to take Iroha&#039;s bracelet, even if it requires severing her arm. Faced with this new threat, Shigure and Hagumu resolve to fight alongside Iroha and Yachiyo to protect Touka and Nemu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the radio telescope, a separate group of Magical Girls, including Juri and Ao enter a Labyrinth containing a powerful Uwasa of the Chelation Land Ferris Wheel. They also encounter a group of Neo-Magius members and Juri&#039;s group proposes a temporary truce to defeat the Uwasa, which they believe holds the powerful energy they seek. After a joint battle, the Uwasa is defeated but the Labyrinth remains. Juri&#039;s group then turns on the Neo-Magius, revealing they are from Futatsugi City and hold a deep grudge against Kamihama Magical Girls, specifically those carrying on the legacy of the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the same time, the battle between Iroha&#039;s group and the Futatsugi blood sisters intensifies. Yuna and Hikaru overpower Iroha, Yachiyo, Shigure, and Hagumu. Yuna prepares to execute Touka and Nemu for their role as the Magius, but reinforcements led by Mifuyu and Kanagi arrive, including Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, and Ui. Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao of the Tokime Clan also arrive and are shocked by the infighting, but Shizuka declares solidarity with her friends in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1435.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The battle between the Kamihama and Futatsugi Magical Girls reaches a stalemate and Iroha pleads for an end to the fighting. Hikaru convinces Yuna to stand down and Kanagi uses her magic to read Hikaru&#039;s heart, learning the Futatsugi group lost many companions. Yuna reveals the cause of their grudge, that the Wings of the Magius&#039; plan to gather Witches in Kamihama to create Eve caused a Witch famine in Futatsugi City. This in turn led to a violent conflict among Futatsugi&#039;s Magical Girls over the scarce Grief Seeds, an event they call the Bloody Tragedy. Yuna states her friends died needlessly because of the Magius&#039; actions and declares that Promised Blood&#039;s goal is to seize the Automatic Purification System as a form of atonement from Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back inside the Labyrinth, the group of Magical Girls led by Juri and Ao defeat the entity behind the Uwasa, [[Oscillating - Aquamarine Heel]]. They acquire a bracelet from the being, which ties itself to Juri and they decide to pursue another strong magical signal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the radio telescope, Iroha attempts to reconcile with Yuna. She apologizes for the suffering the Magius caused Futatsugi and asks Yuna to help them expand the Automatic Purification System globally. Yuna rejects the apology and the proposal, stating that Promised Blood now has more reason to seize the system by force.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka intervenes, identifying herself as a Magical Girl from Tokime Village and condemning Yuna&#039;s plan for revenge as foolish. She reveals herself as being from Tokime Village in Kirimine Town. She explains her clan has a long-standing tradition of serving and protecting the Land of the Rising Sun as Magical Girls. However, the clan&#039;s leadership betrayed them by selling their souls to powerful political figures and concealing the truth that Magical Girls become Witches. To manage this, the village executed Magical Girls before they could Witch out, under the guise of a coming-of-age ritual. With the village leader now gone, the Tokime Clan has reclaimed their settlement and they came to Kamihama after learning from Kyubey about the Automatic Purification System, which they need to prevent their members from becoming Witches. Shizuka states they wish to obtain this power to continue protecting the nation, calling Promised Blood&#039;s quest for revenge wasteful.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Both Promised Blood and the Neo-Magius reject this proposal. Yuna insists on their path of revenge, while Hagumu reveals their goal is to use the system to create a society where Magical Girls rule at the top of humanity. Iroha resolves to protect the Automatic Purification System by collecting the bracelets, which contain great amounts of energy. She deduces a connection between the bracelets, Ui, and Lil&#039; Kyubey, as they were the first to sense the mysterious power. Touka confirms Iroha&#039;s theory, revealing the bracelets are crystallized pieces of Eve, that once had Ui as its core before Lil&#039; Kyubey temporarily replaced it. Nemu classifies these new entities as &amp;quot;[[Kimochi]],&amp;quot; crystals of condensed individual emotions ejected from Eve&#039;s body after Lil&#039; Kyubey became the core, as Incubators do not possess emotions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Kimochi Bracelets contain the original energy of the Automatic Purification System and Touka and Nemu state this energy is the key to expanding the system&#039;s range globally, fulfilling the goal of saving all Magical Girls. Yuna and the Futatsugi girls interpret this as a declaration of war, as it directly opposes their goal of destroying the system. Despite Mifuyu&#039;s plea for cooperation, Yuna refuses and prepares to leave. Iroha proposes that the leaders of the various factions, those being herself, Yuna, Shizuka, and Shigure, formally consolidate their information on how to control the Automatic Purification System. They agree to have Touka act as an intermediary to pose their questions to Kyubey, who is unable to enter Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In a separate location, Karin confronts members of Promised Blood, demanding information about the cloaked Neo-Magius and Alina Gray. Juri becomes hostile upon hearing Alina&#039;s name and interrogates Karin, suspecting she has ties to the Magius due to her connection with Alina Gray. Karin, visibly terrified, states she only knows Alina as a former classmate and knows nothing of her as a Magius. The Futatsugi girls determine she is not lying and tell her to leave. Momoko&#039;s team arrives to rescue Karin and a battle erupts between the two groups in the forest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Elsewhere, Lavi observes the situation and ponders discussing this with Livia, while Kagome and Aru observe the situation themselves. Additionally, elsewhere Kagome watches the magical lights of the battle from the forest, lamenting the conflict, and she is urged by Aru to follow the main groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Touka&#039;s lab, members of the factions meet and Iroha, Yuna, Shizuka, and Shigure, representing their respective factions, enter a meeting with Kyubey to formally establish the rules for controlling the Automatic Purification System. Touka establishes a one-way communication link, allowing them to see Kyubey while he cannot see them. He confirms he informed various groups about Kamihama&#039;s Automatic Purification System because they had a need for it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha presents the Kimochi Bracelet and asks if its energy can control the system. Kyubey confirms it is theoretically possible, and though he cannot verify the bracelet&#039;s nature from outside Kamihama, he endorses Touka&#039;s analysis that the bracelets contain the dispersed emotional energy of Eve. He explains that while the Automatic Purification System currently only harvests energy, possessing the physical Kimochi Stones would grant ownership and the ability to reshape the system. He states a single bracelet is insufficient, and that the exact number required is unknown, thus the collection of Kimochi Bracelets is the objective for controlling the system.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Nemu confront Kyubey about his motives and he admits his goal is to instigate conflict between the Magical Girl factions. He explains that the Doppel System, while extending a Magical Girl&#039;s life, still generates the phase shift energy he harvests from the transition of hope to despair. By having the girls fight, he can conduct an experiment to see if fewer Magical Girls can produce the same amount of energy over a longer period, as he views individual deaths as inconsequential for the success of his experiment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* He explains that his race acts to counteract universal entropy and prevent the heat death of the universe. They discovered that the emotional energy generated when a young girl falls into despair after having a wish granted is an extremely efficient energy source. Magical Girls are specifically cultivated to produce this energy upon their transformation into Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* In the forest, the Futatsugi girls decide to retreat from their battle, but as they withdraw, Rena and Kaede pursue them against Momoko&#039;s orders. Juri unleashes a powerful sea of fire attack and Karin pushes Kaede out of the way of the attack, being engulfed by the flames herself. Karin survives the attack, but the attack causes her Doppel to manifest, with their and first witnessed emergence of a Doppel shocking the Futatsugi group.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the lab, the conference with Kyubey concludes and Iroha and Yachiyo propose that the factions cooperate to spread the Automatic Purification System worldwide, which would also end Kyubey&#039;s experiment. Yuna rejects this offer and she and Hikaru leave, however the Tokime agree to an alliance. Shizuka formally shakes hands with Iroha to seal their partnership. Shigure and Hagumu are non-committal and Nemu advises them to consider cooperation, but they leave to deliberate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, after Karin&#039;s Doppel dissipates, she survives but is left weakened. Juri and Ao formally identify themselves as the second and third sisters of Promised Blood. Juri gives Momoko a Grief Seed as an apology, noting she did not intend to kill Karin, and the Promised Blood sisters then retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Near the lab, Kagome, who has been secretly observing the conference inside the radio telescope, hears Iroha declare the beginning of their fight. As Iroha&#039;s group prepares to leave, Nemu confronts Kagome, having detected her presence. Kagome reveals she is compiling a record about Magical Girls to help the world understand them and she uses Aru to explain that Kagome herself began this project after being saved by Iroha and subsequently meeting a kindly man knowledgeable about Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu identifies Kagome as the host for the last Uwasa she created, the &amp;quot;[[Uwasa of the Wind Evangelist]].&amp;quot; Nemu explains she created this Uwasa to spread public awareness of Magical Girls, an act that cost her the use of her legs during the final battle. The Uwasa&#039;s magical signature is so weak that only Nemu and the Eternal Sakura had sensed its continued existence. Kanagi suggests they continue the conversation while escorting Kagome home and, as the group departs, Touka expresses suspicion about the identity of the &amp;quot;kindly man&amp;quot; who inspired Kagome.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome explains how she fused with the Uwasa, &amp;quot;Rii.&amp;quot; She describes a moment of despair over her inability to compile records on Magical Girls, after which she heard voices that resonated with her desire to help them and this event led to her fusion with the Wind Evangelist. Nemu theorizes that because she created this Uwasa during her battle with Alina, its creation was unstable, which resulted in a symbiotic relationship where Kagome acts to support Magical Girls and the Uwasa protects her and gathers information. Iroha reassures Kagome that her intentions are good and encourages her to continue her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama arrives, concerned about the group&#039;s whereabouts, and they notify her that they plan to convene all the Magical Girls of Kamihama for a larger discussion. As Mitama and Kanagi prepare to leave, Mitama suddenly reacts to a presence she recognizes. Three new Magical Girls appear: Livia Medeiros, [[Yozuru Sasame]], and [[Sudachi Sawa]]. They introduce themselves as members of &amp;quot;[[Puella Care]],&amp;quot; a group of neutral Coordinators who have been sent to Kamihama by Kyubey after they learned of Mitama&#039;s broken neutrality. Livia warns Mitama that aligning with a faction will not fulfill her desires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Puella Care depart, Kanagi suggests that eliminating the neutral Coordinators could be a path to peace, but Sana doubts it would be so simple. Mitama explains that the Coordinators&#039; neutrality, while sowing conflict, has also saved many Magical Girls and Yachiyo also advises against provoking them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Promised Blood&#039;s base, Juri tells the other leaders of the group that she&#039;s acquired a Kimochi Bracelet. Juri demonstrates that it can be transferred if one is willing to offer their life to another, successfully giving hers to Yuna as a sign of their pact as sisters. The group then decides to return to Futatsuki City to report their progress to Janomiya.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Within the Tokime Clan, Sunao, Chiharu, and Shizuka discuss their recent findings, having learned that not all Magical Girls share their specific purpose of fighting for Japan. Though they&#039;re disheartened by this revelation, they realize their clan&#039;s maintained pride is a miracle and that they should work to spread their ideals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Within the Neo-Magius, Shigure and Hagumu witness the mass departure of their members. The remaining members state that weaklings banding together only form a weak crowd and that the group is no longer necessary for strong Magical Girls or those who can live normal lives. Shigure and Hagumu, both social outcasts who found solace only in each other, are left alone and they console each other, deciding to go home to sleep and forget their troubles.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That evening at Mikazuki Villa, Tsuruno, Felicia, Yachiyo, and Sana discuss the day&#039;s events, feeling manipulated by Kyubey again. In Iroha&#039;s room, Ui tells Iroha that she is scared. She has realized that the Kimochi are fragments of Eve and that her connection to Lil&#039; Kyubey allows her to sense them. Downstairs, Yachiyo is on the phone and learns from Momoko that Karin suffered severe burns but is not in mortal danger. Yachiyo decides to regroup everyone to ensure they can protect themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome laments that the Magical Girls, despite their shared destiny, are entangled in human conflict due to differing pasts and ideologies. She pleads for the world to know and understand these girls who protect everyone while fighting for their own salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Satomi Medical Center, Alina states that a collision is unavoidable and that only &amp;quot;we&amp;quot; know the final outcome. She remarks that her &amp;quot;art&amp;quot; has been delivered.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt; Later, Karin is greeted by Alina in her hospital bed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 2: Smiles and Fireworks|Arc 2, Chapter 2: Smiles and Fireworks]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sixth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets Hazuki at a cafe to share information. Hazuki provides a report from the Union detailing that the city is being targeted by three external groups: Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, the Neo-Magius, as well as outsider Coordinators. These groups seek to acquire the Automatic Purification System and are searching for powerful energy sources called &amp;quot;Kimochi.&amp;quot; Hazuki reveals Promised Blood has already killed one Magical Girl in Kamihama, and their motive is revenge against the former Wings of the Magius, but they target all Kamihama Magical Girls by association. Hazuki confirms her team will not join the Union, believing it makes them a target and Nanaka states that while her team is not joining, it is time to formulate a response to the escalating threat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akira, Kako, and Ayame discuss the escalating attacks on Union members and Ayame reveals Felicia was injured and Kaede&#039;s team was hospitalized. Akira announces her decision to ask Nanaka for permission to join the Union as an individual, not as a team, to act as a bridge between the Union and her own team, with the belief that this is the best way to protect her friends. Ayame, inspired by Akira, resolves to speak with Konoha and Hazuki about her desire to help Felicia, even if she cannot officially join the Union. Akira encourages her, stating that family-like teammates may offer a different solution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kako feels conflicted about joining the Magia Union, as she does not have a strong personal desire to join and fears she would only be following others. She also doubts her ability to stand against Nanaka&#039;s persuasive, logical arguments, but Akira and Ayame reassure Kako that her ongoing deliberation is acceptable, as the situation does not yet require an immediate decision.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At [[Walnut&#039;s]], Konoha reflects on the threat from Promised Blood and considers leaving Kamihama to protect her sisters. She discusses this with Manaka, who states she would help a friend in danger despite family worries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meiyui meets with Hinano, the southern leader of Kamihama Magia Union. She explains her team&#039;s non-participation is a strategic choice to observe the large, rapidly-formed organization&#039;s stability and questions Hinano on how the Union handles external threats, non-members, and potential defectors. Hinano confirms the Union operates on mutual aid and would not abandon non-members in a crisis, though members receive priority. Meiyui concludes that joining the Union may be necessary to gain internal information and mitigate risks if the organization collapses under external pressure. She decides to propose to Nanaka that at least one team member join while the rest maintain a strategic distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the evening, Nanaka concludes her meeting with Hazuki and explains her long-held belief that the Union is indeed necessary, however she has chosen to remain an external observer to maintain an objective view, believing that internal members can become complacent and that external support is needed if problems arise from within. Nanaka also reveals that the hostile arrival of outsider Magical Girls has changed the situation and that members of her own team have expressed a desire to join the Union. She informs Hazuki of her team&#039;s new decision is indeed to join Kamihama Magia Union as a full team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki returns home to Konoha and Ayame and, after a meal from Walnut&#039;s, Ayame confirms that she will not join the Union but expresses her desire to be able to help Felicia and others if they are in trouble. Konoha agrees and only asks that Ayame promises to consult with her before jumping into any dangerous situations. Konoha also reminds Hazuki not to overwork herself with information gathering and to share her burdens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Seventh Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka&#039;s team meets in an abandoned building to decide their official stance on Kamihama Magia Union. Akira reiterates her desire to join as an individual to act as a bridge and Meiyui states her intent to join to gather internal information and mitigate risks if the Union collapses. Kako herself admits she is still undecided and Nanaka announces the team&#039;s new policy: the team itself will not join Kamihama Magia Union, but individual members are now permitted to join if they wish. She sets conditions that members must maintain their independent thought and act in the best interests of the team and their loved ones.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akira and Meiyui arrive at Mikazuki Villa to formally join Kamihama Magia Union and they clarify to Iroha and Yachiyo that they join as individuals, not as representatives of their full team and that Nanaka and Kako still remain outside the Union. Akira relays a message from Nanaka expressing a desire for continued mutual cooperation and Yachiyo and Iroha respond in kind, formally welcoming Akira and Meiyui into the Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Kako separately resolves that when she must finally decide, she will choose a path that helps everyone she cares for and allows her to stand alongside them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Another Story Chapter 2===&lt;br /&gt;
These days likely take place during the undated period before Part 2 starts, or otherwise early in Part 2.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Supplemental Day 1:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha sends a message to invite Shigure and Hagumu to a dinner party to celebrate getting the second Kimochi Stone. Shigure receives the message at the Neo-Magius headquarters. Hagumu, having just left her club activities early due to stress, instead meets with Shigure. While walking outside, they are approached by Juri, who questions them about a rumor she heard from Livia about collaboration between Promised Blood and Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls. They deny knowing anything, and Juri figures the rumors arose from Juri being seen with Shigure and Hagumu, who themselves are Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 2: Kind-hearted Connections|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 2: Kind-hearted Connections]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shigure and Hagumu meet with Kanagi at her cafe to discuss this rumor. She is unaware of such an issue, and before long has to return for her shift, so she has them wait outside until she&#039;s done. After she&#039;s out, Kanagi decides to take them to visit several Eastern Magical Girls themselves. They visit Himika, then Ryo, then Mito, Seika and Reira, and in the end Chiaki, deciding to leave the others for some other day. Each of the girls they visit are glad Shigure and Hagumu are okay after they&#039;d disappeared once joining the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They&#039;re surprised the others don&#039;t resent Shigure and Hagumu, and Kanagi flicks their foreheads playfully as &amp;quot;payback.&amp;quot; She invites them to freely reintegrate and befriend the rest of the Union. Kanagi then gathers other Eastern Magical Girls to organize a &amp;quot;Welcome Home&amp;quot; party for the two, and after discussing the best way among themselves, they decide to hold it in a park.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi organizes everyone into different teams, to gather supplies, food, find a good location, etc. Once the party is fully organized and in progress, Shigure admits to Hagumu that she doesn&#039;t want to be part of the Union, nor did she want a party. Shigure and Himika bond over not having one of their parents, and Seika tries to awkwardly befriend Hagumu with a cookie and standup routine. Later, Kanai tells Shigure and Hagumu that the situation for Eastern Magical Girls has changed since the formation of the Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Supplemental Day 2:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri summons Shigure and Hagumu again to press for information, pretending she knew they went back to Kamihama, so they&#039;d be unable to lie in the event they did go. They explain the East-West conflict has subsided on the side of Magical Girls after the formation of the Union. Telepathically, they converse and agree with each other that they shouldn&#039;t tell Juri that the Union is working with another group, the Tokime. Before she leaves, Juri threatens them to not try anything against her or Promised Blood.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shigure and Hagumu discuss their decision and resolve to remain with the Union for the time being. Shigure gets another text from Iroha, inviting them to a dinner party, and they decide to accept her repeated invitations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===New Mirrors Ranking Held!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Meguru prepare for the Mirrors Ranking event while stacking boxes, with Mitama recognizing Meguru by her energetic commentary voice. Mitama explains she is only accepting urgent adjustments due to preparations, and Meguru excitedly looks forward to commentating the biggest Mirrors event yet, which will be open to Magical Girls outside Kamihama with modified scoring rules and generous prizes. Meguru confirms the core rules remain unchanged so veterans will not be confused, and Mitama approves her plan to interview participants for promotional commentary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;newmirrors&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - New Mirrors Ranking Held!|New Mirrors Ranking Held!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia and Yozuru discuss the event, and Yozuru informs Juri&#039;s group about the prohibition against cheating. Juri and Ranka express interest in testing their skills against copies, while Hikaru decides to consult Yuna first. Yozuru also informs Hagumu and Shigure, overcoming their reluctance by highlighting Hagumu&#039;s Witch-hunting ability and the potential rewards, and the two agree to participate together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;newmirrors&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meguru conducts interviews with Kamihama Magia Union members and then the Tokime Clan. Iroha vows to aim for top rank, supported by Yachiyo, while other members share their motivations. When Iroha mentions the Tokime Clan, Meguru immediately sets off to interview them. Chiharu eagerly anticipates meeting other Magical Girls, Shizuka and Sunao see value in observing different combat styles, and Ryoko bursts in declaring her intention to claim the top rank, inspiring the group with her determination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;newmirrors&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1474.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, participants gather for the event. Sudachi communicates with Yozuru through her own speech, and Mitama notes the successful turnout while Meguru delivers hype commentary previewing the tournament&#039;s drama. Meguru announces Mitama&#039;s official opening of the Mirrors Ranking to massive cheers from the assembled Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;newmirrors&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mixed Summer!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rena Minami, Kaede Akino, and Momoko Togame are out of school when Kaede mentions a contest on an exclusive student app called Tomosa, where teams of six must submit a ten-minute summer movie for a chance to win prizes including a Sweetie Bunny stuffed doll. Momoko finds the bunny cute, so Rena suggests entering to win it for her and uses the app&#039;s matchmaking function to find four other girls. They agree to meet immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mix/&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mixed Summer! ~ The Phantom Best Shot ~|Mixed Summer! ~ The Phantom Best Shot ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the meeting point, Rena and Kaede find Hikaru Kirari, Ao Kasane, and Yozuru Sasame. Hikaru is upset about working with Kamihama Magical Girls, but Ao explains they joined because the contest seemed interesting, while Yozuru reveals it was Livia&#039;s suggestion for special training. With one member still missing, they move to a burger place to discuss details. After some disagreement, they decide to go to the beach that day to scout locations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mix/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they arrive at the beach to scout locations, visiting a lighthouse and a beach house. While exploring a rocky area tied to a mermaid legend, Rena and Hikaru fall into the water and spot a fin, panicking until Kaede realizes it is a dolphin. Safely back on the rocks, Rena gets an idea for their movie about someone investigating a mermaid legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mix/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They head to the beach house to ask permission to film, but the mascot, an octopus named Hacchi, has escaped. They split up to search, and after a series of mishaps, they find Hacchi and return it to the grateful manager, who grants them permission to film and gives them snacks. They refine their movie plot, but tensions between Rena and Hikaru persist, leading to a volleyball match to settle things. Through various team shuffles, Rena and Hikaru are forced to cooperate, and they win together, awkwardly praising each other afterward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mix/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They still need a climax for their movie, so Yozuru suggests visiting an abandoned lighthouse tied to an urban legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mix/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at the lighthouse, a group of thugs challenges them to a volleyball match for the right to film there. Rena accepts, and despite initial arguments, Ao calls a timeout where Rena admits she does not think Hikaru and Ao are that bad. They win using Ao&#039;s strategy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mix/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to plan but discover someone used their accounts to post insults and a picture of a broken fish tank. They rush back to the beach house and find Hacchi&#039;s tank smashed and Hacchi gone, leading the manager to ban them. They also find the mermaid legend signboard destroyed. The culprit is the missing sixth member, a young elementary school boy, who admits he did it because they only pretended to get along. Before they can confront him, they discover he has a Witch&#039;s Kiss. They defeat the Witch, freeing him, and Rena admits their success was due to everyone&#039;s help. The boy explains he wanted friends but lost hope seeing their hostility. They decide to apologize to everyone as a group, and the manager forgives them. They invite the boy to join, but he declines, saying they get along fine without him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mix/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They spend the rest of the day enjoying the beach together, but at sunset they realize they cannot agree on which prize to pursue. Unable to resolve the conflict, Rena disbands the group.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mix/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in Kamihama, Rena and Kaede tell Momoko what happened. Another group won the Sweetie Bunny, but Momoko is glad they tried for her sake. Kaede shows her the footage Yozuru recorded, and afterward, Rena asks Momoko to join them next time, and Momoko agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mix/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Part 2==&lt;br /&gt;
The second part of the story of Arc 2 encompasses [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 2|Chapter 2]], and [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 3|Chapter 3]]. A few days are noted to have passed since the fifth day of Part 1 and it is unknown if its next two days intersect with any of the days from Part 2.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;First Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Kimochi are now recognized as energy cores scattered from the remains of the Embryo Eve, which possess the same energy needed for the Automatic Purification System. All the factions of Magical Girls discuss between themselves on how to collect them before their enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Second Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia interrupts the tension by telling the rest of Mikazuki about the &amp;quot;Decagon Ball Stamp Rally,&amp;quot; a public event offering a group ticket to Moo-Moo Farm as a prize. She desperately wants to participate, but Yachiyo refuses due to security concerns for Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Ryushin, Iroha gives the rest of the Union Touka&#039;s report about the Kimochi and also tells them what they know about the other factions. They decide they must collect the Kimochi, but they&#039;re at an impasse as Ui would be in danger if she&#039;s spotted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the way home, Iroha has the idea to use the Stamp Rally as a coverup to allow Ui to search for he Kimochi. She also wonders if the Tokime, as well as the Neo-Magius would be willing to help. The group decides to have Yachiyo and Tsuruno help Touka and Nemu move their base, and in the end they&#039;ll all reconvene at Moo-Moo Farm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s Shop, Kanagi gets a call from Hinano, where she&#039;s notified about the rally and asking her to help Yachiyo win the tickets to Moo-Moo Farm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Yuna and Juri briefly return to Futatsugi to recruit new allies and confirm that Witches are reappearing in their home territory now that the Magius are no longer capturing them. They leave Hikaru and Ao in Kamihama to keep watch of their enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Kagome gets a message from Yachiyo detailing the plan as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Third Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102301 dekagonstamp.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikazuki Villa, along with members of the Tokime Clan, Shigure, Hagumu and Kagome, participate in the stamp rally across Kamihama. Ui decides to stay out of the event and just watch from the sidelines instead. Meanwhile, Yachiyo, Tsuruno and Mifuyu help Touka and Nemu move their base of operations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, Yuna talks to a Magical Girl who just moved to the city. As she agreed to join, Yuna has decided to test her soon. Juri also reports that Witches are indeed returning to the city and the two decide to return to Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the rally, Mikazuki collect stamps for Felicia while Hikaru and Ao observe them from a distance atop a building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Shizuka, Chiharu and Sunao await at the farm themselves, awaiting Iroha&#039;s call. Se soon calls them and lets them know they will be there soon when they get a few more stamps.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* By late afternoon, Hikaru and Ao follow Mikazuki on the train, suspecting the stamp rally is a diversion. The Mikazuki team, aware they are being followed, pretend to be oblivious until the end of the rally. As they meets with the Tokime at Moo-Moo Farm, Ui senses the Kimochi in the nearby Hokuyo mountains and that it has less magic than the previous one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Hikaru and Ao attempt to leave, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Tsuruno ambush them with the intent to capture them. Iroha suddenly gets a call from Momoko, who lets her know that Karin is now allowed visitors in the hospital. After Iroha ends the call, a battle ensues as the teams surround Hikaru and Ao. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102301 asahisnipe.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The two are overwhelmed in the battle, but manage to hold their own until they&#039;re saved by the arrival of Yuna and Juri. As Promised Blood escape, Shizuka orders Asahi, who&#039;s in a hidden location, to intimidate them with her sniper. She shoots and Hikaru manages to block the bullets with her body, and Promised Blood reluctantly retreats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At their Kamihama base, the others help Hikaru pull  the bullets out of her, thankful that they&#039;re shallow wounds. Yuna comes to the realization that they will need connections in Kamihama after all. Due to this, Juri locates Hagumu and Shigure, who have recently joined the Union but still feel powerless. Juri intimidates and forces them into a battle which she easily wins. Afterwards, she makes them become informants for Promised Blood, demanding their knowledge of Kamihama, specifically the Hokuyo area, in exchange for not harming them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Satomi Medical Center, Momoko visits Karin and Alina, who appears to have amnesia. Momoko suspects it is a ruse to avoid responsibility for her past actions, but Alina states she has chosen to remain in the hospital because her &amp;quot;opus,&amp;quot; which Karin implies is herself, is there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As the Mikazuki group and the Tokime return home after somewhat narrowing down the Kimochi&#039;s location, they learn that Alina is in the hospital and now has amnesia. However, even the Tokime are suspicious of this. Suddenly, Asahi appears and introduces herself to everyone, letting them know she was the one who shot at Promised Blood at Moo-Moo Farm earlier. She offers to help Ui find the Kimochi, since she can see clearly at night, but they refuse, as Ui cannot find the Kimochi in this darkness regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With no other options, Shizuka invites the others to have dinner at the Suitoku Temple nearby. The two teams bond together through their shared interests, where Chiharu tells Tsuruno and Felicia about Detective Todoroki, and Sana tells Sunao about Mr. Purrs-a-lot. In the end, they agree to go back looking for the Kimochi the next day after school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At their base, Promised Blood discuss among themselves and decide their best bet is to try and get the Kimochi in the Hokuyo forests. Yuna decides she will use her magic to cause a distraction in Kamihama so they can gain the upper hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In her room, Kagome decides that besides the Union, she also needs to interview Yuna and her group tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* With intel from the girl in Kamihama, Yuna decides to visit Karin in the hospital. Kagome trails Yuna with Rii&#039;s help and suddenly gets a text from Iroha, who tells her she will look for the Kimochi after visiting Karin herself. Yuna approaches Kagome before she can reply and Kagome asks Yuna if she can follow after her to record Promised Blood. Yuna allows Kagome to follow her, but she tells her she won&#039;t wait for Kagome to catch up. Meanwhile, outside school, Juri makes Shigure and Hagumu give her a tour of the Hokuyo mountain area.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Mikazuki and other members of the Union visit Karin in the hospital, Hikaru spreads stones on the trains on the north of Kamihama. Yuna has used her unique magic of Target Redirection on ordinary stones imbued with magical energy throughout the night. To Magical Girls sensing the area, it would appear as though a massive army of hundreds of Magical Girls is invading the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako examines Alina&#039;s head, but her magic returns the same reaction as before, meaning that she can&#039;t tell whether Alina is lying or not. They discuss the possibility of stopping Alina from transforming, but Sakurako refuses to hold her accountable if she&#039;s really lost her memory. The girls soon depart and Karin promises to try and rehabilitate Alina.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Three trains with the imbued stones head for Shinsei-Chuo, Daito Hall and Minaminagi Seaside Park. Promised Blood&#039;s plan works, with Tsuruno, Felicia, the Amane sisters, and Hinano all reporting a sudden, overwhelming influx of magical signatures entering Kamihama. The Union and their allies are forced to divert their attention and manpower to these perceived invasion points to defend the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* This diversion leaves Iroha and Yachiyo with minimal support to search for the Hokuyo Kimochi. They decide to continue the search with a small team, and the Tokime Clan in Suitoku Temple also decide to assist in the Kimochi hunt after Shizuka gets a message from Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102302 pb sisters.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna&#039;s diversion is successful and many Union members detect what appears to be a massive invasion  train. They converge on Central Ward to investigate, but the &amp;quot;invading Magical Girls&amp;quot; are revealed to be a trick. Hikaru acts as a decoy to keep them occupied, until Yozuru appears and stops the fighting, letting them know that fighting in a Coordinator&#039;s area is prohibited.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Simultaneously, in the crater left behind by Hotel Fendt Hope in the Hokuyo mountains, Iroha and Shizuka&#039;s team is ambushed by Promised Blood. Yuna, Juri, Ao, and their reinforcements, having used information coerced from Shigure and Hagumu, surround them, now also aware of the Kimochi&#039;s location. A pursuit ensues through the forest where Shizuka is wounded by Ao.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Kagome briefly stumbles upon Shigure and Hagumu, then leaves, the two decide to deliberately mislead Yuna&#039;s forces and provide Iroha&#039;s group with a secret escape route, allowing them to flee. Iroha&#039;s team successfully escapes the mountains without securing the Kimochi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team catches their breath after running away from Promised Blood, when Sudachi appears and forcefully carries the injured Shizuka all the way to Puella Care. In Central Ward, while Shizuka gets treatment, the teams converge and report on the day&#039;s events.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102302 shizuka sleep.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Promised Blood has scoured and secured the area, but they&#039;re still unable to locate its Labyrinth. They realize that the Kimochi they defeated only appeared after Yuna felt powerful emotions. Yuna decides they will simply try again tomorrow and attack the Union some other way. Meanwhile, Yachiyo receives intel from Mifuyu, who deduces that the Kimochi&#039;s Labyrinth is located within the ruins of Hotel Fendt Hope, and that all the Kimochi will appear in places previously connected to major Uwasa. Mifuyu proposes a plan to infiltrate the hotel and secure the Kimochi while minimizing direct combat. They will select a team of three to head towards the Kimochi at dawn and suggest a deal for both parties to enter the Labyrinth at once, with whoever defeats the Kimchi being the winner. However, after the negotiations, the team will destroy the stairs in the basement of the chapel, and the Union members will retreat through a hidden passage to trap the Promised Blood members. After Shizuka&#039;s attack, the Union decides not to ask the Tokime for help this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In her home, with Rii&#039;s help, Kagome is able to understand that the fight is over and everyone is going home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102601 hime alex meet.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Likely during this time, Alexandra tries to infiltrate the Neo-Magius as it faced disbandment. She sees Himena in distress on her own, and upon talking notices her incredible tenacity. With the belief that her strong determination could revive the group, Alexandra recruits Himena for the Neo-Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 5: Shaky Ideals in a Hazy Love Song|Arc 2, Chapter 5: Shaky Ideals in a Hazy Love Song]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chapter 2, Part 5===&lt;br /&gt;
These two days take place sometime during the third, fourth, or fifth days of Part 2, sometime after Karin&#039;s allowed visitors. The first day can either take place during the third, or fourth day, while the second day can either take place on the fourth or fifth day. These events follow Nayuta and Mikage&#039;s journey in Kamihama, which for the most part is separate from the other events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Supplemental Day 1:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Nayuta Satomi]] moves into a house prepared by her missing father Tasuke, a folklorist who had been collaborating with her to research and publish a book exposing the truth about Magical Girls to the world. Accompanied by [[Lavi Himuro]], her housekeeper, Nayuta begins her search for her father in Kamihama, a city he indicated was safe for Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They get a knock from [[Mikage Yakumo]], whom she had previusly met while fighting. Despite Nayuta&#039;s initial reluctance, Mikage insists on helping with the search, sharing a common goal of wanting the world to acknowledge Magical Girls. Nayuta&#039;s first lead is her uncle, the director of Satomi Medical Center, so she goes to talk to him with Mikage. Nayuta is reluctant to ask for his help, as he previously would undermine Tasuke&#039;s research, so she takes some rest outside. There, her and Mikage encounter Alina as she&#039;s painting. They&#039;re then interrupted by Rena and Kaede, whose visit to Karin was postponed after sensing the new magical signatures. They mistakenly believe Nayuta and Mikage are hostile reinforcements for Promised Blood and the ensuing confrontation and chase force them to run away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rena chases them back to where Lavi is waiting for them, but the three manage to escape. At school, Momoko and Tsuruno hear word of this apparent attempt at Alina&#039;s life, and so they decide to meet at Banbanzai later to discuss what to do next. Nearby, Sakuya spies on them, and she&#039;s confused as Yuna hadn&#039;t discussed attacking Alina, and believes Yuna is either hiding something, or someone&#039;s using Promised Blood&#039;s name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102304 cheap candy shop.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Having gotten away from Rena, Nayuta decides to instead find veteran Magical Girls Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa, whom her father had interviewed years earlier. Mikage reveals she knows of them and directs Nayuta and Lavi to a candy store in Sankyo Ward, in the western part of the city. After they eat candy together, Lavi goes back to Nayuta&#039;s house so she can get dinner ready. However, Nayuta and Mikage encounter a Witch and assist Rena and Kaede in defeating it, hoping to prove their peaceful intentions. After the battle, Rena and Kaede agree to take Nayuta to Mitama&#039;s to meet other Union leaders to vet her. However, Mikage panics at the mention of the Coordinator and runs away. Nayuta chases after her, as she says she can&#039;t go to the Coordinator, and says she needs to go to the ocean instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Banbanzai, the Kamihama Magical Girls discuss the newcomers. Yachiyo and Tsuruno conclude they are not a threat, as they are weak, not coordinated, and targeting Alina would not benefit Promised Blood&#039;s primary goal. Yachiyo decides to talk to them, and if anyone sees them to let them know to come to Ryushin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* By late afternoon, after Mikage calms down, Nayuta respects the fact that she doesn&#039;t want to reveal why she can&#039;t meet with the Coordinator. Nayuta is shaken with her experiences in Kamihama, concerned about what Promised Blood is. They&#039;re suddenly approached by Ranka and reinforcements of Promised Blood, intending to capture the two for having used their group&#039;s name. Ranka&#039;s group defeats them, also knocking Mikage unconscious and Nayuta reveals that it was a misunderstanding. She tells them that she&#039;s a foreigner and Mikage was simply helping her out. Ranka makes Nayuta believe she will kill Mikage, but she stops at the last second. The two feel a powerful surge of magic, and Ranka decides she will still capture the two regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Sana, Sunao and Kagome return from the Mr. Purrs-a-lot cafe, as Sana needed someone to accompany her, Rii notifies Kagome that there are other Magical Girls nearby. Sana and Sunao depart to find them and successfully drive away Ranka&#039;s team. Sana recognizes the two as the Magical Girls they were told about at Banbanzai, and after hearing Nayuta&#039;s side of the story, they decide to take the unconscious Mikage to the Coordinator for treatment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Lavi transforms and fights forces of Promised Blood, declaring they will not misrepresent Promised Blood, nor will she join the conflict at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Coordinator&#039;s Shop, with other Union and Tokime members, Mitama is shocked when Sana and Sunao bring Mikage, her sister who she didn&#039;t know was even a Magical Girl. Nayuta explains that she only met Mikage recently while hunting a Witch, and the two became friends. She also explains her reasons for being in Kamihama is that her father, Tasuke Satomi, told her the city was safe for Magical Girls, and he has gone missing after his last known location was traced there. She reveals they were collaborating on a book to expose the truth about Magical Girls to the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Shizuka, and Kagome all confirm separate encounters with Tasuke, and the conversation reveals that Nayuta is the cousin of Touka. Touka herself also arrives at that moment, and Nayuta slaps her for having mocked her father&#039;s research years earlier. Touka apologizes profusely, admitting her past mistake and stating she now believes in her uncle&#039;s work. Separately, Iroha regrets having called Touka over to begin with. Nayuta declares she does not forgive Touka but agrees to a ceasefire for the time being. Mitama apologizes if Mikage caused her any trouble, and before Nayuta leaves to go back to her house, she tells Mitama that Mikage is always welcome to come over.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Supplemental Day 2:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage visits Nayuta, telling her to hurry up before they head outside, waving goodbye to Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Separately, Mitama and Kanagi discuss the difficulty of somehow restraining Mikage and keeping the secret of Mitama&#039;s own wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fifth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome is woken up early by Rii, as multiple Magical Girls are on the move, and she goes to follow them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu and the Amane sisters enter the area to negotiate with Promised Blood. They propose a contest: the Union will reveal the Labyrinth&#039;s location, and both sides will then race to defeat the Kimochi inside, with only three members from each team allowed to enter at a time. Promised Blood, represented by Juri, agrees to the terms.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As agreed, reinforcements from both sides arrive, balancing their numbers. While Kanagi and Momoko&#039;s team wait on standby at the forest, Juri permits them to open the Labyrinth of Fendt Hope. The combined groups proceed into the hotel, with Mifuyu&#039;s team guiding Promised Blood through the corridors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Kagome visits Suitoku Temple and talks to Shizuka, letting her know of the Magical Girls on the move. Shizuka realizes her clan is staying inactive and prompts them to go to Fendt Hope and aid the Union regardless of the Union&#039;s wishes. The Tokime Clan take off and also carry Kagome with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* From outside the Labyrinth, the next groups enter, those being Hikaru, Ao, their team, Kanagi and Momoko&#039;s team. Now all fourteen Magical Girls navigate Fendthope together. Afterwards, Mikazuki Villa and other Union members arrive outside the entrance of the Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Union team leads Promised Blood to a chapel deep within the Labyrinth, also the designated ambush point. On Mifuyu&#039;s signal, the Union members destroy the staircase leading into the chapel, trapping the Promised Blood team inside. However, Promised Blood anticipated this betrayal, and Juri and her team immediately attack, preventing the Union members from fleeing. The trap backfires, leaving both groups confined in the chapel and initiating a direct battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka&#039;s team joins with Iroha&#039;s outside the entrance, where they&#039;re fighting Yuna, Sakuya, Ranka and their forces. All of them enter the Labyrinth, including Kagome, and the Union team notices that Mifuyu&#039;s team isn&#039;t coming to help and they realize something must&#039;ve gone wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102303 turquoise kill2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Three battles occur simultaneously. Iroha&#039;s team fights the Uwasa of the Queen Bear outside of Hotel Fendt Hope, part of the Union led by Hinano and the Tokime fight Yuna and other members of Promised Blood inside of the hotel, and Mifuyu&#039;s and Momoko&#039;s teams fight Juri and Ao&#039;s teams in the chapel. After the Uwasa is defeated, the [[Falling - Turquoise Ear]] Kimochi appears. Shizuka and the Tokime Clan join the battle and she, alongside Felicia defeat it, however the Kimochi Stone is bonded to Felicia. With the Kimochi defeated, all groups decide to retreat from the area and fight again another day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At sunset in Suitoku Temple, Shizuka is fully healed, even showing it off to Kagome. Shizuka, Chiharu and Sunao were invited to eat dinner at Mikazuki as a celebration for Shizuka&#039;s recovery. Shigure and Hagumu were also invited.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At their base, Yuna realizes they cannot rely on the emotional triggers to draw the Kimochi out, so they won&#039;t be able to locate next Kimochi without Ui. However, she reveals to her sisters and Hikaru that she has a plan to force the Union&#039;s hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102303 kidnapped ui.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* While shopping for the dinner, Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Ui, Shigure, and Hagumu hear cries for help from an alley. They find an unknown Magical Girl, [[Urara Yume]], being harassed by members of Promised Blood. The Union members drive the attackers away and during the confrontation, Tsuruno instructs Shigure and Hagumu to stay back and protect Ui and the rescued girl. However, after the fight, they discover the rescued girl has vanished and Ui has been kidnapped. Shigure and Hagumu confess they were coerced by Promised Blood to act as accomplices, and the &amp;quot;attack&amp;quot; was a ruse to separate Ui from them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Afterwards, as Shigure and Hagumu are alone, the Magical Girl [[Himena Aika]] appears, mocking them for their weakness, and offers to bring them to the top.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Livia talks with Kyubey and lets him know about Ui being kidnapped, as well as what all the factions are up to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 3: Dawn Within the Perpetual Night|Arc 2, Chapter 3: Dawn Within the Perpetual Night]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui wakes up in an office space in Futatsugi and Promised Blood gives her a map, asking her to indicate all the locations of the Kimochi she discovered during the stamp rally. They give her some time alone to consider and due to the Union&#039;s actions, they surmise that they don&#039;t know the locations of the Kimochi either. To mitigate risks, Hikaru is sent to conceal traces of them and their base.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Shizuka cannot shake the bad feeling left by Yuna&#039;s words, which cut deep with their accusation that she is an empty husk who cannot exist without others. Sunao notices something is bothering her and suggests she take a break, worried about the pressure of traveling from the remote mountains to a bustling city. When Shizuka protests they need to help Iroha rescue Ui, Sunao points out that if they are too supportive of Iroha, some branch families will protest. Chiharu arrives with a call from her mother asking them to return to the village, and Shizuka agrees they cannot ignore their mothers. She decides they should return, also giving the other girls a rest, and Chiharu suggests inviting anyone interested in Tokime Village to come along.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome learns that Ui was abducted by Promised Blood, and elsewhere, Promised Blood members discuss their situation, with Ao worried about incriminating items and Hikaru assigned to reconnaissance. Back at Mikazuki Villa, Iroha wakes early, unable to sleep from worry, as the group prepares to search for Ui without any leads.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sixth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Union gathers at the Ryushinkan dojo to discuss the situation. Kanagi reports that Promised Blood has not made contact, and Hinano warns they might harm Ui to extract information, though Tsuruno notes that Ui is the only one who can sense the Kimochi without conditions. Felicia grows impatient, but Sana points out they do not know where the base is. Touka and Nemu arrive with a GPS transmitter, proposing they plant it on a Promised Blood member to track their location. Kanagi agrees to handle this in the east with the Amane twins. After the meeting, Kagome confides in Ryo about her struggles as a neutral journalist, and Ryo reassures her that her perspective is valuable.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, in Tokime Village, Shizuka, Chiharu and Sunao are welcomed by their mothers. Chiharu appreciates the lack of malice, while Shizuka is moved to tears by the unchanged atmosphere. They learn the village now runs an inn and sells local products after losing their income.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi meets with Tsukasa and Tsukuyo at the old railway yard, suspecting it might be Promised Blood&#039;s base. They encounter Hikaru, who claims she is also investigating them. Kanagi attempts to read her mind to find Ui&#039;s location while the twins try to immobilize her, but Hikaru&#039;s subordinates interfere and she escapes. However, Kanagi successfully plants the transmitter on her. They search the railway yard but find nothing incriminating, though Kanagi receives word that other Union members also succeeded in placing their transmitters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in Tokime Village, Shizuka confides that she cannot shake Yuna&#039;s words, feeling a fundamental gap between them despite sharing the same pride. Chiharu and Sunao reassure her that their shared feelings matter more. When Shizuka admits her feelings toward Yuna are confusing, Chiharu&#039;s mother suggests she might actually hate Yuna, something Shizuka has never experienced before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Touka begins analyzing the tracking data while everyone eats dinner. The signals show Promised Blood members moving north, contradicting their theory that the base is in the east. They watch as the dots leave Kamihama entirely before the signals are cut off. Touka reveals her surprise was hacking their phones to steal geographical data, and she will use that to pinpoint their location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, at the Promised Blood base, Hikaru discovers the transmitter on her clothing and destroys it, but not before the data is captured. Urara brings Ui instant curry and urges her to cooperate, but Ui refuses, saying she would rather die than sacrifice everyone else. Yuna observes that Ui is prepared to die, making threats useless, and decides they need to create an opening instead. She returns Ui&#039;s phone with a dead battery, noting the wallpaper photo of her sister, and tells her no one will ever find her there, subtly suggesting she has one way to communicate with the outside world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Elsewhere, the girls in Tokime Village are informed that money has been stolen from the communal safe, but they are told to focus on researching Diviners instead of investigating. They visit the site where Shizuka and Chiharu became Magical Girls, and Shizuka explains how the village chief decides wishes in advance for the sake of Japan, a tradition not all families follow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102401 littlekyubey.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Ui sends Lil&#039; Kyubey with a map of the Kimochi locations and a letter explaining she is likely in Futatsugi City. However, Yuna anticipated this and intercepts Lil&#039; Kyubey, taking the map but leaving the letter, hoping it will lure the Union to Futatsugi where they will have the home-field advantage. Lil&#039; Kyubey escapes with the letter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Tokime Village, Shizuka wanders alone, contemplating how different she is from others. She concludes that as head of the main family, she must lead the clan, but they will never be fully compatible with the Union because her duty to the Tokime Clan comes first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Seventh Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha updates Momoko on their progress: Touka is analyzing the hacked phone data, Yachiyo is investigating where the signals were cut off, and Tsuruno discovered that one of her classmates, a girl named Sakuya, is a Promised Blood member who was present at the battle of Fendt Hope. Yachiyo and Touka investigate the signal cutoff point together and deduce the girls must have entered a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, which would have blocked the signal. Meanwhile, Tsuruno confronts Sakuya directly at school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, in the archives of the Tokime clan, Sunao reads worm-like letters that Chiharu cannot, and they find a diary of a former Diviner describing how she protected the village until her Jewel clouded over, at which point she looked forward to the coming of age ceremony that would allow her to leave. Chiharu realizes these girls were tricked and killed, and Shizuka confirms that Diviners were exploited until their powers ran out, their bones resting in the waterfall basin where Shizuka and Chiharu were pushed. Shizuka leads them to the ceremony site, where Diviners were thrown to their deaths dressed in fine clothes, and she carries their regrets to avenge them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha and Tsuruno chase Sakuya to a quiet area, where Iroha pleads for information about Ui. Sakuya admits she knows where Ui is but insists she isn&#039;t obligated to tell them. However, she reveals that she lost her best friend in Futatsugi too, which is why she understands Yuna&#039;s pain. She also states she doesn&#039;t believe Yuna will kill Ui, and if Yuna ever tries, Sakuya plans to stop it herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Mikazuki Villa, the group discusses Sakuya&#039;s words and feels relieved that Ui is still alive. Suddenly, Lil&#039; Kyubey arrives battered and carrying a letter. Sana recognizes the handwriting as belonging to the same person who wrote the Darkrow letters delivered by Mr. Purrs-a-lot, and she decodes it. The letter confirms Ui is in Futatsugi City and includes a map of the Kimochi locations, though Yachiyo realizes the map itself must have already been taken from them. Touka calls to confirm she has located the Promised Blood&#039;s base in Futatsugi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, elsewhere in Kamihama, Mitama finishes adjusting Mikage, who feels warmer than before. Though Mitama worries about the danger in Kamihama, Mikage insists on helping Nayuta find her father so he can spread the truth about Magical Girls to the world. Mitama reluctantly agrees, asking Nayuta to look after her and keep her out of group conflicts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta brings Mikage to the Satomi Medical Center to speak with Touka&#039;s father, hoping he might know where Tasuke is. He confirms he has also been searching for his brother but has found no information, noting that even Touka was influenced by the strange book Tasuke wrote. Before Nayuta can respond, Mikage and Lavi are recruited by Alina to model for a painting, with Mifuyu apologizing for dragging strangers into it. When Nayuta admits her visit was a dead end, Alina observes that Nayuta seems lost and suggests that if you are lost, you can always go back to the entrance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at home, Nayuta considers Alina&#039;s advice and realizes she needs to go through all of her father&#039;s documents again for clues she might have missed. Remembering Touka&#039;s father mentioning that Touka was influenced by her father&#039;s book, Nayuta reluctantly calls her cousin. Despite their strained relationship, Nayuta asks for Touka&#039;s help in tracing her father&#039;s steps by identifying addresses from sent emails. Touka agrees, admitting that Tasuke is a special person who changed her life too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night in the Tokime village, Chiharu smells malice and they find a man under a Witch&#039;s Kiss stealing documents, including the list of Diviners. Shizuka&#039;s mother subdues him with a Gaze Locking technique, and the girls rush off to defeat the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They defeat the Witch easily thanks to adjustments they received in Kamihama, and afterward Shizuka&#039;s mother explains the thief was addicted to gambling and exploited by the Witch. She agrees to teach Shizuka the Gaze Locking technique before she returns to Kamihama tomorrow, as Shizuka has now experienced the strong emotions needed to learn it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Eighth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Lavi and Nayuta continue sorting through Tasuke&#039;s documents and discover pages detailing a visit to Futatsugi City involving Promised Blood, which concerns Nayuta. Ranka overhears them and warns against mentioning Promised Blood carelessly. Though Nayuta fears the girl who attacked her before, she resolves to continue her search, and Lavi suggests asking Mikage about Ranka&#039;s school uniform just as Mikage arrives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Union launches a two-pronged operation: Team Mikazuki and Momoko&#039;s group head to Futatsugi to rescue Ui while the south and east teams monitor Promised Blood. However, Yuna&#039;s group has already anticipated this and heads to Minaminagi by train, planning to seize the Kimochi there while Iroha&#039;s group walks into their trap.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102405 alina millers.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Hospital, Mifuyu checks on Alina, who has just completed a strange painting entirely in blue that Karin realizes is actually multiple canvases connected into one enormous landscape. When Mifuyu asks if this is Endless Mirrors, Alina confirms this is where she is, guided by someone deep within her, though she will not answer when Karin asks who that is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, at the Tokime clan&#039;s village, Shizuka&#039;s mother trains her in Gaze Locking, a technique that conveys strong emotions through eye contact. She demonstrates by making Shizuka&#039;s knees give out from fear, then reveals she learned it during an argument with Shizuka&#039;s father, much to her daughter&#039;s shock. The training continues for hours, with Shizuka&#039;s mother pushing her to picture someone she hates. Shizuka focuses on Yuna Kureha, thinking she cannot forgive her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in Kamihama, Mikage identifies Ranka&#039;s school, and after three days of waiting at the gate, Nayuta finally spots her. Ranka apologizes for attacking her and, after Nayuta honestly admits she was frightened by Ranka&#039;s Witch-like power, agrees to connect her to Juri. During a phone call at a cafe, Juri recognizes the Satomi name and reveals that Tasuke intervened during a violent dispute between Magical Girls eight months ago, mediating when Promised Blood was about to let people die and knowing far too much about Magical Girls for an ordinary man. Though Juri has no idea where Tasuke is now, Nayuta is relieved to learn this heroic side of her father.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka calls urgently to say Promised Blood has kidnapped her best friend, and Nayuta worries Juri might be using her as bait. Touka reveals the email that led Nayuta to Kamihama was sent from Nayuta&#039;s own house in Takarazaki, shocking Nayuta with the realization that her father came home only to disappear again. Though Lavi suggests respecting his wishes, Nayuta refuses to give up, viewing her father as her research partner and finding it unforgivable that he would vanish without saving anything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As the sun begins to set, Shizuka finally articulates her answer: the Tokime Clan must carry the wishes of past Diviners, defeat the injustice of becoming Witches, and devote themselves to the Land of the Rising Sun, unlike those who treat Diviners as tools. When her mother pretends to cut up their history to test her, Shizuka masters Gaze Locking, stopping her with a powerful glare. Relieved, Shizuka&#039;s mother tells her to return to Kamihama. Shizuka gathers everyone, and Sunao receives a call that Promised Blood seized a Stone in Minaminagi and Ui has not been rescued yet. Asahi asks about their alliance with the Union, and Shizuka admits she was losing her identity as a Tokime and conceding too much, but assures Chiharu they have no reason to fight and must take care of themselves first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, Iroha and her friends find Ui&#039;s base empty and are ambushed by Promised Blood. Yuna, Hikaru, and Sakuya arrive with impossible speed, and Hikaru deliberately separates Iroha from the others, chasing her through the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile in Minaminagi, the Union team defeats the Uwasa protecting the Kimochi and engages Beauteous Pearl Eye. Promised Blood arrives to join the fight, followed by Himena and Alexandra of Neo-Magius. With everyone joining forces, Ao successfully defeats the Kimochi, which transforms into a bracelet. Shigure and Hagumu remain caught between factions, with both sides demanding they choose soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After their battle in Minaminagi, Juri, Ao, and Ranka discuss their victory. Ao teases Juri for not using her stored magic, and Juri says the Union retreated. Ao quietly thanks her, admitting she now understands why the Ryuugasaki girls look up to Juri despite her violent methods. Suddenly, Ao senses a Kimochi nearby, and despite Ranka&#039;s protests, Juri insists they fight it now while things are going their way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102402 fall hikaru.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, throughout the night, Iroha manages to defeat Hikaru and shows her mercy by cleansing her Soul Gem. Yachiyo&#039;s group learns from Sakuya that Yuna now intends to kill Ui, forcing them to plan their escape from Futatsugi. Hikaru, confused by Iroha&#039;s mercy, warns her that Yuna will not show the same kindness. Yuna, upon learning of Hikaru&#039;s failure and Sakuya&#039;s betrayal, prepares to lure Iroha to the catacombs and begin making Ui&#039;s grave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in Kamihama, Kagome proposes using Ryo&#039;s photographs alongside her writing to inform the public about magical girls. Ryo agrees and decides to investigate a lead from Touka about a point of interest in Daito. Kagome reflects on the day&#039;s events: Ao now possesses the Kimochi bracelet, Himena and Alexandra remain enigmatic figures, and the Tokime Clan has returned to their tranquil village, leaving Kagome to wonder what Shizuka has been doing there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Having arrived in Kamihama, Shizuka&#039;s group also senses the Kimochi and recognizes Promised Blood&#039;s magic. Shizuka decides to go after them to get the Stone, prioritizing what the Tokime must accomplish. When Chiharu protests about Ui, Shizuka insists they must carry the thoughts of past Diviners.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They enter the barrier and are assaulted by the Uwasa of the Flower Speaker, a deafening noise that disorients everyone. Shizuka volunteers to act as a decoy by running into Promised Blood first. As Ao prepares to take the Uwasa&#039;s attack and create an opening, Shizuka suddenly attacks her, declaring the Tokime will emerge victorious. Ao argues that if they reclaim the Automatic Purification System, Magical Girls will be freed from their duties, but Shizuka questions whether Ao sees Diviners&#039; duties as merely a burden. She uses Gaze Locking on Ao, paralyzing her with fear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Enraged, Juri attacks, and Shizuka welcomes the confrontation, intentionally siccing the Uwasa on Promised Blood. While Ranka shields the frozen Ao, the Tokime strike the Uwasa from its defenseless rear, delivering a powerful blow. The dying Uwasa lashes out violently, breaking their formation, and Promised Blood&#039;s grunts pin them down just as the Kimochi, [[Robust - Opal Head]], begins to appear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102403 burning opal.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* With both groups scattered, Shizuka realizes she is alone against the Kimochi. Juri and Ao attack together but make little progress. Shizuka proposes they fight together or both be wiped out, and Ao agrees to release the Tokime. United against the Kimochi, they successfully restrain it, but when they pour everything into the assault, Promised Blood holds back. Juri reveals she bet the Kimochi would not die in one attack and conserved her magic, then unleashes it all to deliver the final blow and claim the Stone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As the Promised Blood sisters prepare to leave, Ao admits she is still afraid of eye contact, and Shizuka explains it was an accident activated by anger. Juri calls them weird and leaves before sunrise. Chiharu asks if Shizuka is worrying again, but Shizuka says she is simply rediscovering how different she is from others. Chiharu reassures her she heard everything during Gaze Locking practice and will keep being a Diviner, following the head family&#039;s wishes. Relieved, Shizuka feels the Tokime Clan has built a strong and noble pillar that will not be easily shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Unbeknownst to them, Ryo, who had followed her lead from Touka to investigate a point of interest in Daito, witnesses their departure, muttering that the Magius was right and there must be a secret route in this area. Ao senses someone watching and Juri regrets getting careless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Ninth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* By dawn, Kagome decides to seek Nemu and Touka&#039;s help with writing and social networking the next day. Meanwhile, Yuna confronts Iroha, who surrenders upon realizing she has been found. Yachiyo wakes Felicia, who slept through everything and mistakes the situation for an enemy attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Early in the morning, Tsuruno leads an assault on Promised Blood&#039;s hideout with Sana, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Yachiyo, and Felicia. They rescue Ui, who reveals the Second Sister obtained a Kimochi Stone, but Urara admits Yuna has Iroha and plans to turn her into a Witch. The group forces the catacombs&#039; location from Sakuya and rushes to save Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the catacombs, Yuna shows Iroha Ui&#039;s hair tie and a Grief Seed, falsely claiming Ui became a Witch. As Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem begins corrupting, the Kimochi within her bracelet intervenes and Ui&#039;s voice reaches her, confirming she is alive. The Mikazuki Villa group arrives, and Yuna reluctantly allows them to take Iroha in the sacred burial ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102404 freight train.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* As they escape, Juri and Ao appear with two Stones, but the exhausted Kamihama group jumps onto a passing freight train. Yuna&#039;s forces give chase but are repelled by Tsuruno. Kyubey appears to both groups, revealing only two Kimochi Stones remain and that controlling the Automatic Purification System requires one person to gather all of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that morning, Yachiyo meets with Mitama and learns the Promised Blood likely used the Endless Mirrors Witch to warp across distances, meaning the original Labyrinth may have become a terminal connecting to similar Witches nationwide.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Shizuka worries about telling Mikazuki Villa that the Tokime Clan must declare independence, though she intends to maintain friendly relations. She decides to join Chiharu and Sunao when they visit to watch Mr. Purrs-a-lot with Sana.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome reflects on the escalating conflict and prays for Nayuta Satomi, the daughter of the scholar who first taught her about Magical Girls, as she searches for her missing father alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakuya is summoned to the Ryuugasaki base by Juri and Ranka. They confront her about her recent actions, having deduced she was the source of the leaked information that led to the failed missions against Iroha and the rescue of Ui. Sakuya confesses immediately, explaining she acted to prevent Yuna from crossing a moral line by killing people she had personally known and spoken with. She believes this would permanently destroy the kind person Yuna once was. Juri is enraged and nearly attacks Sakuya, but Ranka intervenes, arguing that Yuna, as the First Sister, should make the final judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 3: I&#039;ll Show You My Resolve|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 3: I&#039;ll Show You My Resolve]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Sakuya reflects on her past, remembering how Yuna’s kindness saved her when she was a new, frightened Magical Girl. She recalls Yuna’s past mercy, even towards rivals like Juri, whom she defeated but spared. Sakuya resolves to save Yuna from becoming a &amp;quot;demon&amp;quot; on the inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac3/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri reports Sakuya’s confession to Yuna. Despite Juri’s insistence on harsh punishment, Yuna decides to be lenient, placing Sakuya under surveillance by Hikaru. Yuna states that if Sakuya interferes with their plans again, she will deal with her personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac3/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tenth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakuya, now demoted and distrusted by her peers, is assigned to a general patrol group. Her first mission is to investigate and eliminate any Magical Girls from Kamihama found in Futatsugi. She soon encounters the idol Sayuki Fumino and her friends, Mayu Kozue and Ria Ami, who have come to Futatsugi for a performance. Sakuya lures them into an alley to ambush them, however, another Promised Blood member, who is a fan of Sayuki, intervenes to protect the idol. Sakuya, understanding the girl’s inability to harm someone she loves, stages a fight to allow the Kamihama group to escape, and this act of mercy is witnessed by Hikaru, who reports it to Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac3/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Yuna summons Sakuya to the Futatsugi catacombs. Declaring Sakuya’ actions unforgivable, Yuna agrees to hear her out only if Sakuya can defeat her in a duel. In a desperate fight, Sakuya manages to land a single blow on Yuna. Impressed by her resolve, Yuna and Juri spare her life, and through telepathy, Yuna reveals that she needs Sakuya to stay by her side specifically to ensure she does not lose her humanity completely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac3/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:207303 end.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakuya agrees to rejoin Promised Blood and fight for Futatsugi, but only after securing Yuna’s promise to show some mercy to their enemies. At dawn, the three watch the sunrise from a bridge, with Sakuya inwardly vowing to remain at Yuna’s side to protect her heart until the conflict ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac3/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dependence Blue===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place at a point before Part 3 begins, likely starting at some point during Part 2.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* While Alexandra splits off to recruit allies from her hometown, the Neo-Magius members Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu arrive in Takarazaki City with the goal of recruiting San Kagura and Miyuri Yukari, both former instructors for the Wings of Magius. At the station, a woman crashes into Hagumu and steals her bag, but two local Magical Girls named Jun Kazari and Mitsune Miwa intervene, recover the bag, and photograph the criminal before introducing themselves as heroes who protect Takarazaki. San and Miyuri arrive shortly after and confront the group about being late, with San proposing a test: if the Neo-Magius can solve the increasing crime and accident situation in Takarazaki within ten days, thus before the Hikarizuka Fire Festival begins, then she and Miyuri will agree to join their cause.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Dependence Blue|Dependence Blue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Himena uses a Crime Information Map to identify high-crime areas and times, then sends Shigure and Hagumu to search for strong Witches while she plans with Hiko, the boyfriend who exists only inside her head. Shigure and Hagumu find and defeat a Familiar, mistaking it for a Witch, and Shigure grows frustrated, feeling that Himena treats them like pawns, though Hagumu encourages her to trust their leader for now. Himena later calls them to a restaurant and reveals her findings: crime spikes in the evening near the station, leading her to theorize that a single strong Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, Himena leads the group in hunting the Witch&#039;s Familiars to draw it out, and the Witch chases them into alleyways where they encounter Jun and Mitsune again. The five Magical Girls defeat the Witch together, but Himena refuses Jun&#039;s offer to team up permanently, stating she only wants their criminal photos for information, and Jun and Mitsune leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The fourth day sees Shigure and Hagumu reporting their progress to San, who notes their slow pace and suggests they either get to know Himena better or abandon the test entirely. While walking, they encounter an elderly shopkeeper who asks them to tell Jun that she is always welcome at the Tomorrow Shop, and Himena messages them to research sewers and tall buildings for a vertical search strategy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fifth day, Shigure confronts Himena about making them do dangerous work while she avoids it, confessing that she hates her. In response, Himena goes to the sewers alone, finds a Witch, and returns covered in filth before meeting them at a bathhouse to apologize for not considering their feelings. She shares her backstory: her boyfriend Hiko died and now exists only inside her head, and she seeks the Kimochi stones and Automatic Purification System so she can love freely without judgment. The three bond over this revelation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while investigating tall buildings, Shigure and Hagumu encounter Jun and Mitsune defeating a Witch and learn the truth about them: Mitsune is a former shut-in who came to Takarazaki to change herself by pretending to be a hero online, with Jun supporting her, and they are not connected to the town&#039;s problems. Shigure and Hagumu report this to Himena, and Hiko suggests recruiting them, so Himena sends the pair to Alina Gray at Satomi Medical Center to obtain one of her pet Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the seventh day, Shigure and Hagumu meet Alina, who has amnesia about her past, and after they explain her history and magic, she enters her barrier, confirms the Witches inside, and gives them one sealed in a cube. Himena successfully recruits Jun and Mitsune by explaining the Neo-Magius seeks Magical Girl supremacy, and they agree to cooperate, with San noting that Himena&#039;s leadership naturally attracts others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The eighth day arrives with Himena presenting the plan: seven of them will encircle the Witch&#039;s suspected location, with Shigure and Hagumu waiting at the central spot alongside Alina&#039;s Witch while the others search surrounding areas. When Shigure and Hagumu release the Witch from its cube, it proves far stronger than expected, but the group converges and defeats it together. San and Miyuri agree to join the Neo-Magius, unaware that Mitsune&#039;s magic has already begun affecting everyone&#039;s memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, the group celebrates their apparent success but notices the situation in Takarazaki has worsened rather than improved. San discovers the truth and confronts them, and Himena reveals this was Hiko&#039;s plan all along: by faking a solution, they could observe whether the problem persisted, thereby proving a different culprit existed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Himena explains her findings: Mitsune&#039;s magic lingers at the station where criminals pass through daily, and Mitsune&#039;s routine of calming the public unconsciously uses her perception-altering magic, causing increased crime and accidents. Mitsune realizes the truth and despairs as her Soul Gem darkens, and just as her Doppel emerges, she uses her magic to make everyone forget her existence before fleeing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Himena, guided by Hiko&#039;s clearer memories, helps everyone recall the truth about Mitsune, and they realize she is likely still in Takarazaki, fighting alone to atone. San reveals the Youth Association has disappeared, taken by a Witch threatening the festival, so the group splits up to search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Jun finds Mitsune in the Labyrinth&#039;s deepest area, and they fight together but are overwhelmed until Shigure and Hagumu arrive to help. They defeat the Witch, but Jun is fatally wounded, and before dying, she expresses hope that Mitsune will become strong enough to lead others someday. Mitsune&#039;s grief triggers her Doppel again, and she wakes up in the hospital with her mind altered to believe Jun is alive but overseas, and that they will reunite when she has truly changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Himena visits San and Miyuri, learning the festival was canceled due to the incident, which devastates them, but they reaffirm their commitment to the Neo-Magius and San&#039;s goal of becoming a living god to resurrect the festival. Shigure and Hagumu visit Mitsune, who greets them with her signature &amp;quot;Hallo, hallo!&amp;quot; and explains that Jun moved overseas, promising to become strong enough to lead others by the time they reunite.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shigure breaks down crying outside the hospital as the group reflects that Mitsune has falsified her own perception to survive, keeping Jun&#039;s memory alive in the only way she can. They recognize that their shared wounds and regrets have forged a powerful bond, and Himena declares they will aim for the top together, honoring those who could not make their dreams come true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Great Banquet that Transcends Time===&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the banquet, Madoka receives an invitation from Iroha while Yachiyo finds a flashing letter at Mikazuki Villa inviting the Kamihama Magia Union to a party at Suitoku Temple. Felicia recognizes the old-fashioned style as coming from the Tokime Tribe, and Iroha confirms the details with Shizuka, who mentions Mitakihara girls are welcome. That same day in Futatsugi, Yuna shows her own flashing letter to Promised Blood and decides they will attend despite objections from Ao and Hikaru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;banq&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Great Banquet that Transcends Time|The Great Banquet that Transcends Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Promised Blood meets and Yuna reveals spies reported the Union is training for the banquet. Suspicious of the letter&#039;s instruction to come prepared, she believes the party is a trap and plans to surround and destroy the temple. At Ryuushinkan, Iroha learns Promised Blood was also invited as the girls discuss their own performances, with Ui realizing she has nothing to show. At Tokime&#039;s temple, the girls practice and decide to rest before tomorrow&#039;s event. That night, Chiharu notices Sunao is late, Iroha arrives looking for Tsuruno, and Yuna appears searching for Hikaru. All three girls are missing, and when the letters are shown to the chief priest, he denies sending them. Everyone realizes three girls have disappeared after saying they were going to help prepare, forcing Iroha to cancel the banquet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;banq&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, searches yield nothing and everyone feels deja vu. Promised Blood continues searching and encounters Yuuna, who denies involvement and flees. The Union meets with Nayuta&#039;s household as Lavi recalls hearing of something similar. Iroha explains the situation to Touka and Nemu, who suspect an Uwasa. At Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Iroha find the Graveyard Banquet Uwasa in the rumor file. At the lab, Sakurako feigns ignorance while Touka realizes the Endless Mirrors may be allowing an old Uwasa from Kamihama&#039;s past to enter the present.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;banq&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Everyone gathers at Suitoku Temple. Touka explains the plan to find and break the specific mirror connected to Kamihama&#039;s past. Iroha, Shizuka, and Yuna volunteer to enter the Uwasa directly. The Mitakihara girls arrive, with Madoka saying she had a bad feeling. At the temple, the group realizes the letter itself is the trigger, and Yachiyo is transported inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;banq&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the graveyard Uwasa, they find Tsuruno, Sunao, and Hikaru exhausted and defeated. The voice demands performances. Various girls attempt acts, but nothing impresses until Yachiyo reluctantly sings her childhood song Macaron. The voice finally approves, revealing it sought embarrassment from proud people. They are guided deeper and must reveal embarrassing secrets in a tournament format.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;banq&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Mitakihara girls arrive in Sankyo Ward, where Nemu reveals a terrible truth: being approved means entering the Pure Land, which is the afterlife. Either way, those who enter die. Breaking the mirror after death will make it seem like a daydream, but they will remember dying. Madoka enters anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;banq&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside, Madoka finds everyone dead, held by giant hands. Nemu&#039;s revision allows one person to be brought back by calling their name. Madoka calls Iroha, who wakes and realizes she was never free of the Uwasa&#039;s influence until she died. Together, they reject the banquet and destroy the Uwasa. The voice speaks cryptic words to Madoka about fighting a difficult battle and creating a future of salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;banq&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the terminal, the mirror fades and Mifuyu&#039;s team breaks it. At Suitoku Temple, the missing girls are safe, everyone recalling strange dreams about a banquet. The groups part ways, with Promised Blood acknowledging they will not forget today. Shizuka suggests they throw their own banquet now that everyone is here.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;banq&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the banquet, Felicia sings the macaron song while Yachiyo yells at her and Madoka laughs. Iroha asks Madoka if she remembers the voice&#039;s final words. They agree the voice was telling them to hold onto hope, and they may understand its meaning someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;banq&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dream Halloween Festa===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before the Sakae Halloween Festa, Karin visits Mitama to request an adjustment that will make her the Pumpkin King. On campus, Karin recruits an unwilling Alina to help with decorating after Alina unknowingly signed up, hoping to show Alina that kindness is beautiful. When Alina refuses to work, Karin &amp;quot;orders&amp;quot; her with a sparkle of magic, and Alina finds herself pelted with hard candy whenever she resists. Throughout the day, hijinks ensue as Alina is forced to help with various tasks, and by evening, Karin learns complaints about Alina have arisen. Karin begs for another chance and assembles a team including Hotaru and Moka to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;festa&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Dream Halloween Festa ~Alina-senpai! Be a Good Girl!~|Dream Halloween Festa ~Alina! Be a Good Girl!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group enters Hotaru&#039;s pillow world to brainstorm, where Karin devises plans to make Alina look kind by staging scenarios with ghosts. Alina eventually appears, having been brought in by Hotaru, and watches their failed attempts with confusion and annoyance. The day ends with everyone trapped in the pillow world because Karin cannot sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;festa&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On the first day of the Halloween Festa, the group remains trapped. They discover Karin&#039;s orders are absolute and that she unknowingly commanded herself not to sleep until Alina understands kindness. Attempts to force sleep fail, and Alina refuses to pretend kindness just to escape. Karin realizes she cannot demand Alina change while remaining the same herself, and Alina storms off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;festa&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** When Karin apologizes sincerely, Alina refuses to forgive her. Karin accidentally orders herself to disappear and vanishes. The group surmises Karin will only return if Alina genuinely forgives her. After much resistance, Alina finally calls out that she is forgiven, and Karin reappears, moved to tears. Karin falls asleep in Alina&#039;s arms, and the group finally escapes the pillow world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;festa&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Karin arrives at school to find Alina enthusiastically organizing the festival, having decided she can make any material her own. Alina admits she is only participating to avoid more trouble with Karin. When Karin transforms to show off to Mifuyu, she accidentally orders Alina to keep doing her best, and candy strikes Alina once more.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;festa&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the Halloween Festa, Alina gives her opening speech and declares everyone free to enjoy the festival as they wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;festa&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the festival, Karin reflects in her room. Despite everything, she still wants Alina to change, but this time she will start from scratch. She writes up her &amp;quot;Alina Gray Reform Plan&amp;quot; and decides to reread Magical Kirin to find messages that can fill her senpai&#039;s heart with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;festa&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Part 3==&lt;br /&gt;
Part 3 encompasses [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 4|Chapter 4]]. While it is possible the first day of Part 3 immediately follows, or takes place on the last day of Part 2, it is unverifiable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;First Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Union council meets to discuss their approach, deciding to pursue cooperation with Promised Blood while acknowledging that compensation will be required from Kamihama. Iroha pleads for one last chance to negotiate with Yuna, arguing that uniting through their desire to save each other is the fastest path to saving all Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 4: Ultramarine in the Distance|Arc 2, Chapter 4: Ultramarine in the Distance]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The conversation shifts when Yachiyo explains that Mirrors Familiars have grown and now connect Labyrinths across distances, creating shortcuts between Kamihama and Futatsugi that Promised Blood has been confirmed to use. Mifuyu arrives with news that Alina has been painting maps that may lead to the original Witch&#039;s location, and Kanagi suggests forming an investigation team once negotiations conclude.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fifth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Four days later, at home, Nayuta tells Lavi that the security camera at her parents&#039; old house captured her father&#039;s image clearly, suggesting he might be hiding intentionally. Mikage arrives with handmade pin badges for their &amp;quot;Papa Search Party&amp;quot; and suggests they visit a foreign painter they met before, but on the way they encounter Mifuyu, Tsukasa, and Tsukuyo struggling to carry art supplies for Alina. Despite Nayuta&#039;s reluctance, they help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the hospital, they learn from Mifuyu that Nayuta&#039;s father once interviewed her and Yachiyo long ago. Nayuta admits her investigation suggests her father may not want to be found, and Mifuyu suggests he might be avoiding her out of love, similar to how Mitama hid being a Magical Girl from Mikage. Nayuta reveals her parents divorced years ago and her father is her only remaining family besides Lavi. When she mentions her mother is trying to regain custody, Mifuyu suggests contacting her for clues. Nayuta goes to her uncle, the hospital director, who knows her mother&#039;s contact information. He agrees to help but assigns her homework: she must bring her own answer about what it means to lose a loved one. He schedules another meeting in three days and promises to invite Touka as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night over dinner, Lavi shares her view that perspectives on death vary with knowledge and philosophy, but for her, it comes down to emptiness and acceptance, and the only truth is what we lose right in front of us. Nayuta finds this confusing but continues contemplating the homework.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sixth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hinano notices that Ryo seems troubled, suspecting her investigation into Promised Blood has become more serious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta retrieves the analyzed security footage and takes a break with Mikage at a parlor, where she shares her view that death represents hope, a chance for all souls to eventually melt together regardless of their differences. Lavi finds this hopeful perspective characteristic of Nayuta, while Mikage admits she doesn&#039;t fully understand but would be sad if anyone disappeared.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that night, Nayuta reflects on her uncle&#039;s homework while watching a drama, realizing that you don&#039;t have to die to lose someone. She recalls her parents&#039; final argument, when her mother had changed and struck her father. Nayuta remembers that her family fell apart because of her own wish; she hated her mother, yet losing her brought only sadness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Seventh Day:&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta meets her uncle and Touka in the hospital courtyard. Touka shares her answer first, speaking of death&#039;s inevitability and the limits of human reach. Her uncle agrees that separation is unavoidable. Nayuta then gives her answer: simply put, it means sorrow and anguish, and she cannot betray her feelings. Her uncle accepts this, saying he only wanted her to think. He agrees to contact her mother but warns Nayuta to consider her mother&#039;s feelings. He advises Touka to think of her surroundings rather than all humanity. Afterward, they encounter Tsukasa and Tsukuyo searching for Alina, who has disappeared from the hospital.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Eighth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome collects photographs taken by Ryo and transmits them with help from Touka and Nemu. With only two Kimochi Stones remaining, she senses an approaching struggle and resolves to fight despite her feelings of inadequacy and fear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Minaminagi Liberty Academy, a teacher announces volunteer opportunities for Kamihama&#039;s reconstruction. Ryo remains distracted, thinking about Promised Blood&#039;s secret route and Kagome&#039;s request to photograph Magical Girls. She decides to investigate the shortcut alone, and Hinano and Ikumi go after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Alina approaches Ryo at school and invites her to investigate the Mirrors offshoot in Daito again. Ryo feels conflicted but cannot suppress her curiosity. Hinano warns Ryo against acting alone, but Ryo deflects by claiming she is focused on Kagome&#039;s project.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia reports that Promised Blood refuses to talk and the Tokime Clan is bickering with them. Iroha decides to contact Sakuya, their spy at the school, and Sakuya agrees to arrange a meeting with Yuna despite the difficulty. Yuna receives the message and agrees to listen, finding Iroha&#039;s persistence intriguing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night at Mikazuki Villa, the group discusses compensation for Promised Blood. Touka reveals she has prepared a method to increase the chance of joining hands but keeps it secret for now. They agree to bring Touka and Nemu to the negotiation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Suddenly, Juri crashes through a window, demanding to deliver Promised Blood&#039;s response in person. She presents terms: before meeting Yuna, Iroha must first meet with Hikaru and Sakuya and present what they are willing to give. Additionally, they must use Ui to find the Kimochi Labyrinth at Minaminagi. Iroha and Yachiyo accept the conditions. Kagome later notes this was the day they could have set their eyes on hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Ninth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102501 negotiations.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Touka, and Nemu meet Hikaru and Sakuya at Shizuku&#039;s coffee house to negotiate a potential alliance while Ui, Felicia, and Sana head to the cargo port to search for the Kimochi as agreed. Iroha&#039;s proposals are rejected, and when Touka and Nemu offer themselves as compensation to satisfy Promised Blood&#039;s wrath, Hikaru and Sakuya decide to take the matter back to Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While waiting for a response, Iroha fixes a loose button on Hikaru&#039;s coat, and Hikaru reveals that Yuna had done the same for her years ago. Iroha asks if Hikaru could help Touka and Nemu in an emergency, but Hikaru says it is impossible. Later that evening, Kagome, Touka, Nemu, and Sakurako gather at the radio telescope and discuss the progress, with Kagome worrying about Ryo, who continues investigating the Mirrors offshoot despite Hinano and Ikumi trying to stop her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Hagumu and Shigure resolve to change and decide to return to Juri and start fresh, aiming to become people who can stand on their own. Kagome watches from within the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura as negotiations continue, feeling terrified for Touka and Nemu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* At the cargo port, Ui, Sana, and Felicia meet with Promised Blood as agreed and enter the Labyrinth with the Tokime Clan to search for the Kimochi. Inside, they encounter the Uwasa Labyrinth of the Anonymous AI that separates the groups, but Sana realizes they can open its heart by playing together rather than fighting. Ui offers friendship, and the Uwasa withdraws, revealing it was merely lonely. The Kimochi, [[Drifting - Diamond Hair]], appears and is defeated by the combined group, with Chiharu gaining the Bracelet. Shigure and Hagumu suddenly return and apologize to Juri, declaring they now have their own goals alongside new comrades. Juri is angered but decides to leave for now. Sana receives a message that negotiations have broken down and the Union needs to leave immediately. The Tokime Clan offers to help, but Himena appears with the Neo-Magius, attacks them, severs Chiharu&#039;s arm, and steals the Kimochi of Fear from her Bracelet before withdrawing. Juri arrives and mocks them for being bested.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Livia and Lavi discuss that the Union&#039;s actions have set things in motion that neither the Tokime Clan nor the Neo-Magius desire, with Livia preparing for casualties.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryo meets Alina at Daito, where Alina uses her connection to the voice inside her to pinpoint the Mirrors offshoot&#039;s location near Kamihama Prison. Hinano, Ikumi, and Karin arrive to stop them, but Ryo insists they must strike at the weak point now, and the group reluctantly follows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the prison, Alina confirms the magical reactions come from underground while Ryo searches for an entrance. Promised Blood members Ao and Urara detect them, and Ao alerts Yuna that Ryo&#039;s ability poses a serious threat to their Labyrinth. Yuna receives the message during negotiations and immediately orders Sakuya to break them off, leaving Iroha and the others confused. Yachiyo contacts Hinano and realizes Promised Blood likely interpreted their movement as betrayal. Underground, Ryo finds a door revealing how Promised Blood comes and goes. Above ground, battle erupts as Kanagi and Mitama arrive as reinforcements, but Momoko&#039;s team and Sana&#039;s team are blocked from reaching the prison.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102503 fall ryo ao1.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102503 fall ryo ao2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At the negotiation site, Yuna confronts Iroha, Tsuruno, and Yachiyo about Ryo breaking the ceasefire, revealing her true plan was to work Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls to death rather than slaughter them. At the prison, Ao breaks through the defense line and pursues Ryo as she emerges. Ao intends only to break Ryo&#039;s camera, but her blade strikes Ryo&#039;s Soul Gem instead, killing her instantly. Both factions are left reeling as Yuna coldly declares Ryo&#039;s death is the price of the Union&#039;s underhanded tactics.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102504 sapphire iroha1.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102504 sapphire iroha2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* As Ikumi collapses in grief, a Kimochi Labyrinth suddenly appears. The Kimochi of Grief, [[Unmoving - Garnet Pinky]], emerged in response to Ikumi&#039;s despair and forces both factions to fight it together. The Kimochi proves overwhelmingly powerful until Iroha&#039;s Bracelet lends her its power, allowing her to connect with Ikumi, who channels her grief into one decisive strike and defeats it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102504 kimochi concentration.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* With the immediate threat over, Yuna announces that now that all eight Stones are gathered, the real fight begins. She reveals Promised Blood has been tracking all Kamihama Magical Girls and has just ordered assassinations. Before anyone can act, another Labyrinth envelops everyone as the Kimochi declare they will choose which Magical Girls are worthy. The Kimochi vanish, and Promised Blood withdraws to heal their wounds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ikumi asks Kanagi to take Ryo&#039;s body back to the East, and the Union mourns together. Mitama warns that rumors are spreading in the East again, claiming the West seeks to rule all of Kamihama, and Ryo&#039;s death could ignite tensions once more. Meanwhile, the Tokime Clan, recovering from their fight with the Neo-Magius, hears news of Ryo&#039;s death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome reflects on Ryo&#039;s death, realizing she never truly understood the reality of being a Magical Girl until now. Back at Mikazuki Villa, the group receives a declaration of war from the Neo-Magius. Knowing their home is no longer safe, Touka leads them to an underground shelter prepared by the Satomi Group and announces her plan to use the facility&#039;s resources to spread the truth about Magical Girls and continue their fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tenth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102504 midorinewspaper.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
* As everyone mourns Ryo&#039;s death, an announcement at school declares the Midori Report discontinued. Kagome reflects that through this tragedy, the Magical Girls lost their final chance to band together, and she realizes Kyubey orchestrated the battle while their emotions prevented them from stopping him. She concludes that outsiders who know the truth must take action, and to do so convincingly, they need the help of folklorist Tasuke Satomi, Nayuta&#039;s missing father.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 4: Anguish in the Safe Zone|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 4: Anguish in the Safe Zone]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That morning, Yozuru and Sudachi investigate Mikazuki Villa and find a window shattered by a magical attack, confirming the Union leaders have been targeted. Livia tasks them with investigating the previous day&#039;s events and providing care to any Magical Girls they encounter, but instructs them not to mention Ryo&#039;s death to avoid seeming intrusive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta travels to Takarazaki to meet her mother at a cafe, briefly encountering Livia who asks for help with a Witch, though Nayuta declines due to her meeting. Yozuru and Sudachi visit Hozumi Coffeehouse and Emiri&#039;s Consultation Office, where they find Shizuku, Emiri, Asuka, and Sasara all distressed over Ryo. Despite their efforts to offer comfort through coffee and conversation, they realize their attempts to provide care have been ineffective against such profound sadness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta reunites with her mother, who has gathered information about her father&#039;s whereabouts. Nayuta apologizes for wanting only that, admits she hated her mother but might love her too, and describes the gap in her heart since she left. Her mother apologizes, reveals she knows about Magical Girl wishes, and gives her the information. Meanwhile outside the city, Livia meets with Kyubey, who claims the Kimochi Stone situation is an unpredictable deviation he did not orchestrate, and asks her to keep watch over Kagome Satori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102505 pray rabi.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta returns home exhausted to find Mikage waiting with Lavi. Mikage comforts her and promises to help find her father so the three of them can live together again. That evening, Yozuru and Sudachi report their failures to Livia, who shares Kyubey&#039;s request about observing Kagome. Later, Nayuta discovers a document about her father&#039;s actions in Yukuni City around the time he disappeared—something she had no knowledge of. Lavi finds a letter in the mailbox with no postmark, delivered directly. Nayuta recognizes her father&#039;s handwriting but becomes distressed upon reading it, declaring it is not from him. The letter states Nayuta&#039;s father has given up, claiming there is no way to save Magical Girls. Alone, Lavi acknowledges that with the Kimochi stones collected and casualties suffered, each action advances a clock toward a point where they will be forced to take lives themselves to keep watching over the girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Part 4==&lt;br /&gt;
Part 4 encompasses [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 5: Shaky Ideals in a Hazy Love Song|Chapter 5]]. It appears that not a lot of time has passed since Part 3, likely a few days at most.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;First Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the Kimochi&#039;s declaration, the factions and their primary objectives are defined. Promised Blood engages in guerrilla tactics, targeting individual Union members who possess Kimochi Stones to exhaust them. Whenever any of the selected girls are about to fight each other, their bracelets will envelop them in a Labyrinth in order to have them fight with each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha is ambushed by Hikaru, who demands her Kimochi Stone, and Iroha is horrified that Hikaru is unconcerned about Ryo&#039;s death. Yachiyo Nanami and Tsuruno Yui arrive to assist Iroha. Kagome also observes this fight from within the conflict zone, noting she can enter without being isolated, likely because she is not a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Afterwards, Hinano informs Ikumi that Iroha was targeted. Ikumi, still grieving for Ryo, is struggling to maintain her composure. Hinano encourages her to continue grieving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In a meeting, Himena meets with Kyubey and questions how the Automatic Purification System would be used if acquired. Kyubey confirms that if one could acquire all the Kimochi Stones and bring the system under control, it would not be impossible. Himena is satisfied with this answer and is joined by San and Miyuri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the Union members discuss the ongoing attacks from Promised Blood. Yachiyo deduces that Promised Blood is intentionally trying to cut down the Union members chosen by the Kimochi, so they decide to meet with the Tokime Clan to discuss the situation and the recent theft of Chiharu&#039;s Kimochi Stone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Union meets with Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka formally announces the end of their alliance with the Union, wit the reason being fundamental difference in their stances on being Magical Girls. The Tokime take pride in their role as protectors and do not view their contracts with Kyubey negatively, whereas the Union does. Despite this, the Tokime express that they hold no hostility toward the Union and would prefer if the Union were the last group standing alongside them. They agree to focus on different enemies—the Tokime will target the Neo-Magius, and the Union will focus on Promised Blood—and vow to cross blades in a final confrontation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Iroha confesses to Yachiyo that she cannot see a clear goal amidst the chaotic conflict. Yachiyo states that the possibility of an ending where everyone is saved was lost in the prison incident. Iroha also mentions her concern for Rena after she&#039;d befriended Ranka, who turned out to be a member of Promised Blood. The other Union members, along with Ui, comfort Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Second Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the looming election, Hagumu and Shigure report to Himena that they have observed no contact between the Union and Tokime, confirming the dissolution of their alliance. The Neo-Magius begin to formulate a plan and Himena reveals she still intends to recruit Shizuka into their ranks, believing their groups are similar. She tasks Hagumu and Shigure with attempting to persuade Shizuka despite their reluctance. After talking with Himena, Alexandra reports back to Folklore of Zero through the phone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, at Suitoku Temple, using Chika&#039;s ability to communicate with animals, the Tokime have discovered that Himena attends Kamihama Future Academy in Sakae Ward. They plan a targeted strike against Himena, believing that eliminating the Neo-Magius&#039; central pillar will cause the group to collapse. Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao agree that a small, focused attack is their best strategy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Third Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hagumu and Shigure arrive at the temple on Himena&#039;s orders and they deliver the offer to join the Neo-Magius. Shizuka flatly refuses, stating that as long as their resentment remains, she will not offer her hand, though she might reach behind her back instead. After they leave, the Tokime finalize their plan to ambush Himena.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Chiharu, Chika, Ryoko, and members of the Tokime ambush Himena near her school and Chiharu confronts her about her lack of malice while hurting others, which she finds even more dangerous. Himena expounds on the Neo-Magius ideology of Magical Girl Supremacy, arguing that Magical Girls are superior humans who should rule over ordinary people. She invites Chiharu to join her, but Chiharu rejects this philosophy entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra and then the rest of the Neo-Magius arrive as reinforcements, so the Tokime, recognizing they are outnumbered, make a tactical retreat. After the battle, Himena reveals to her team that she confirmed the Tokime Clan is not a monolith and she sensed one member seemed interested in her words. She devises a new plan to &amp;quot;break&amp;quot; the Tokime from within, involving the creation of a specific costume.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra contacts Folklore of Zero to report on Himena&#039;s movements, but Himena had followed her and confronts Alexandra. She reveals her true affiliation and her role as an observer. She also delivers a prophecy to her that if Himena achieves her goals, she will die. Himena dismisses this and vows to prevent it, and for now, Alexandra is allowed to remain in the Neo-Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile at Mitama&#039;s, Union members discuss the ongoing situation and they receive reports that the Tokime attacked the Neo-Magius leader and that Promised Blood continues their guerrilla tactics. They debate attacking the prison but decide they need a more decisive strategy. Mifuyu reports that Alina, in an attempt to recover her memories, has agreed to cooperate with a team to map the Mirrors Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha contacts Yachiyo with news that Ikumi, overwhelmed by grief for Ryo, has run away and is likely heading for Kamihama Prison alone. Iroha and Momoko pursue her to stop her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the prison entrance, Hinano and Sakurako catch up to Ikumi and try to reason with her. Ikumi breaks down, stating that crying is not enough and she cannot forgive Ryo&#039;s killer. Sakurako, using Ryo&#039;s memories, tells Ikumi that Ryo would not want this and would prefer to see her smiling, which manages to reach Ikumi, and she agrees to stand down. Iroha suggests that cleaning and organizing the belongings of the deceased can be a way to mourn and sort through one&#039;s own feelings. Ikumi decides she wants to clean out Ryo&#039;s old newspaper clubroom at school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome speaks with Iroha over the phone, who admits she is lost in the tangled conflict but still wishes for a way for everyone to be happy without anyone getting hurt. Kagome reaffirms her own goal of telling the world about Magical Girls, though she feels anxiety about how far she can follow the battle. Iroha suggests she consult Nemu Hiiragi for potential help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* A team consisting of Mifuyu, Yachiyo, Kanagi, and the Amane sisters prepares to investigate the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth with Alina, who is creating a map. After they depart, Yachiyo and Kanagi discuss the city&#039;s changing political landscape and Kanagi reveals she is assisting Mitama with the mayoral election, where an Eastern candidate is, for the first time, putting up a strong fight against the West.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Mikage returns home to find Mitama, who apologizes for her frequent absences and explains she is helping with the election to create a happier future for Mikage. At the same time, Nayuta receives a text from her father saying he has given up on saving Magical Girls, and she panics when she finds something moving in her futon, summoning Lavi who has already called Mikage for help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, Sana, and Felicia investigate the university library, where they find a partial map of Kamihama Prison&#039;s underground area. They are confronted by Shigure and Hagumu, who make a final, futile attempt to recruit them into the Neo-Magius. Later, Yachiyo and Tsuruno meet up with Iroha&#039;s group and they receive the news about Ryo&#039;s phone and the map she&#039;d made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Sudachi has the day off, she meets Mikage. They discuss wanting to be useful, and Sudachi suggests investigating the Endless Mirrors together. At the labyrinth entrance, they hesitate, and Lavi finds them, warning Mikage not to worry Mitama. Mikage decides not to enter and instead goes to Nayuta&#039;s house.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka, Nemu, and Kagome collaborate with Nayuta on a project to reveal the existence of Magical Girls to the world. Their plan involves using impactful images, which are to be gathered by Kagome and Rii, powerful text written by Kagome and refined by Nemu, and a presentation strategy devised by Touka. They aim to post their work as high-quality &amp;quot;creative fiction&amp;quot; to gain a massive online following before revealing it as the truth, using Nayuta&#039;s missing father&#039;s media contacts to amplify the message. Nayuta, despite her doubts, agrees to help, partly to prove her father&#039;s pessimistic letter wrong. As part of this project, Kagome asks Touka and Nemu to help &amp;quot;complete&amp;quot; her Uwasa, the Wind Evangelist, to better protect her during her information-gathering missions. They also agree, seeing it as a necessary step.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During this time, at Nayuta&#039;s home, Mikage arrives and Nayuta shows her security camera footage of her father holding the final volume of his book, convincing her he has not given up. Nayuta resolves to follow her father&#039;s footsteps to Yukuni City, and though Mikage is upset at being left behind, Lavi suggests she investigate the Mirrors for Mitama instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Hozuki High School, Ikumi, Hinano, and Sakurako clean the newspaper clubroom, which belonged to Ryo. Ikumi has brought Ryo&#039;s broken camera, which was damaged by Promised Blood. During the cleaning, they discover Ryo&#039;s old photos and Sakurako reveals that Ryo&#039;s camera automatically transferred photos to her smartphone. Realizing the phone may contain Ryo&#039;s final work from inside Kamihama Prison, they contact Touka to bypass the phone&#039;s security.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Touka&#039;s office, Touka decides to contribute by successfully unlocking Ryo&#039;s phone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the radio telescope lab, they find that the phone contains a video message from Ryo, where she explains her method for navigating the prison&#039;s maze and how one can trace the correct path. In the event of her death, she&#039;d also left personal messages for Hinano, Kanagi and Mitama, Sakurako and Ikumi. Touka and Nemu confirm that Ryo&#039;s photos perfectly fill in the missing parts of the Union&#039;s underground map, providing a clear route to Promised Blood&#039;s secret and the suspected Mirror Witch offshoot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Promised Blood plans to lure the Union into the prison, which they view as a perfect cage for their enemies. Yuna checks on Ao, who is struggling with the guilt from killing Ryo, but Yuna advises her to freeze her emotions like she does.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Neo-Magius plan to actively recruit members for their cause of Magical Girl Supremacy through a secret conference. Himena, San and Miyuri, learn from Kyubey and their own research that the Magius once summoned Walpurgisnacht and that Touka&#039;s family was involved in building a radio telescope. Himena devises a strategy to use the radio waves for a plan of her own, similar to how Touka did, as well as make costumes to infiltrate the Tokime.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Alina, Mifuyu and the Amane twins continue exploring the Endless Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fifth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Chiharu, Chika, and other Tokime Tribe girls attempt to investigate the Neo-Magius in Kamihama, Neo-Magius agents, including San and Miyuri, secretly embed themselves within the Tokime ranks with Tokime disguises as well. San and Miyuri, while in disguise, slowly try to get the other girls more comfortable with the ideals of the Neo-Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102602 tokime traitor.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At sunset, Chiharu and Chika return to report to Shizuka and Himena, but San and Miyuri arrive to confront them, where Himena reveals that their &amp;quot;erosion&amp;quot; tactic has succeeded and that several Tokime members, including Sunao and Chika, have already defected. A brief skirmish ensues, but Neo-Magius retreats, promising to return for the remaining members the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102604 mirrors terminal.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, that evening, Mikage asks Mitama for permission to investigate the Mirrors and is allowed to go with Sudachi under strict conditions. Concurrently, Mifuyu updates Yachiyo on the investigation, noting Alina&#039;s map has proven accurate through sixteen layers, and she agrees to let Mikage and Sudachi join them despite concerns about managing Alina.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Mirrors, the group encounters a copy of Mitama, which attacks them after Mikage tests it. They reach the sixteenth layer and discover a terminal connected to countless Witch Labyrinths, but the room&#039;s impurity summons a powerful Witch and they are forced to escape. Afterwards, Mitama and Livia confront them, with Mitama apologizing for being overprotective and Livia agreeing to properly teach Sudachi coordination. Mikage decides the Mirrors are too dangerous for now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that night, Himena discusses with Alexandra how their tactics have unfolded until now and tells her that the two will visit Himena&#039;s hometown tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sixth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Kamihama Magia Union prepares to assault the city&#039;s prison to find and destroy the shortcut to Futatsugi created by the offshoot of the Mirrors Witch. At the Mikazuki Villa evacuation site, Crescent House, Kagome meets with Touka and Nemu to complete the Uwasa of the Wind Evangelist. Nemu explains that creating an Uwasa normally consumes a life-threatening amount of magic, but to mitigate the risk, she has pre-charged tools with her own magic. Touka warns Kagome of the dangers, stating the Uwasa could be linked to her ears or even directly to her brain, potentially causing intense pain or unknown consequences. Despite her fear, Kagome resolves to go through with the procedure, wanting to become stronger to help other Magical Girls and repay Iroha for saving her. She successfully merges with the Uwasa, which transforms its appearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Separately, throughout the day, Himena brings Alexandra to her hometown, and at a specific location, Himena reveals that this is where her boyfriend, Hiko, died and subsequently entered her mind through her contact with Kyubey. Their secret relationship, due to social standing differences, was discovered, leading to Hiko being bullied into a state of despair that Himena failed to notice until he ended his own life. She aims to create a world with no restrictions on love, where she and Hiko can be together without ridicule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During this time, the Tokime Clan investigates for the Neo-Magius base in Daito Ward with no success. Shizuka then reveals that two of their members, Sunao and Chika, along with some branch families, are not true defectors, but undercover agents pretending to have joined the Neo-Magius to locate their base. Sunao and Chika make contact, confirming their infiltration and promising to discover the base location by the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sunao and Chika successfully infiltrate the Neo-Magius gathering at the Kamihama Civic Center, where they identify the location as the base and plan to contact Shizuka. However, they are discovered by San and Miyuri and a battle ensues where Sunao holds off San and Miyuri to allow Chika to escape and send the location to Shizuka. Both Sunao and Chika are defeated and left injured outside the hall.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Upon receiving the message, Shizuka, Chiharu, Asahi, and Ryoko immediately rush to the Civic Center. They battle San, Miyuri, Hagumu, and Shigure at the entrance to break through to the main hall.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the prison, the Union begins its infiltration. Their strategy relies on Tsuruno, who has memorized a map from Ryo&#039;s photos, navigating to the goal while the others fight off enemies. The team is equipped with whistles to communicate and locate each other through the magical interference caused by the enchanted rocks as well. Iroha and Felicia are initially ordered to stay behind to protect the Kimochi Stones, but later they&#039;d decided to disobey and join the battle too. Along the way, they also meet Ikumi, who insists on joining.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Promised Blood uses enchanted rocks not to fake greater numbers, but to create a &amp;quot;jamming&amp;quot; effect, flooding the tunnels with magical signatures to confuse the Union members and separate them. They are aware of the Union&#039;s assault and take up defensive positions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Union teams are immediately separated and forced into individual battles. Momoko&#039;s team is ambushed from all directions by Hikaru and her army. Yachiyo, Ui, and Sana are targeted by Yuna&#039;s &amp;quot;Target Change&amp;quot; sniping magic, which allows her to attack from unexpected angles, as well as Urara.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102603 double fire.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno is intercepted first by Ao and later, after Kanagi arrives and takes her on, Tsuruno is able to continue. However, she is soon intercepted by Juri. Their fight reaches a stalemate that nearly exhausts both of their magic, and Juri, in desperation, attempts to collapse the entire underground section they are in, but ultimately lacks the power to do so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ao, traumatized by her accidental killing of Ryo, is confronted by Ikumi. Overwhelmed, Ao&#039;s emotional turmoil causes her to lose control of her Kimochi Stone and enter a berserk state, threatening to bring down the entire prison underground. During the fight, Yuna locks Felicia&#039;s attack with her own power of Target Redirection, making Felicia cast her Oblivion magic upon herself, which initially only makes her faint. Ao&#039;s rampage forces a temporary, uneasy truce between the Union and Promised Blood to stop her and escape the collapsing tunnel. However, Kanagi is able to subdue Ao, but Sakuya protects Ao from further harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Both sides are forced to regroup outside the tunnels. Iroha and Felicia&#039;s timely intervention saves several Union members from being overwhelmed. Tsuruno deduces from her conversation during the fight with Juri that the Labyrinth connecting Kamihama and Futatsugi likely has multiple entry points beyond the prison. Separately at Crescent House, Kagome and the Uwasa of the Wind Evangelist are successfully merged.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside the Civic Center, Himena holds a speech for the captive Tokime branch family members, outlining the Neo-Magius&#039; goals. She explains their ideology of &amp;quot;Magical Girl Supremacy&amp;quot; and their concrete plan to seize control of Kamihama&#039;s Automatic Purification System.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka&#039;s team breaches the hall. To counter them, Alexandra uses her magic to drain the will to fight from Shizuka, Chiharu, and Asahi. Himena then orders Mitsune to use her Doppel&#039;s power to alter the perceptions of the Tokime members, making them believe they have always been part of the Neo-Magius. Shizuka resists by injuring herself to stay conscious, and she then uses a non-magical Tokime technique of the Locked Gaze to project her strong emotions and convictions to the brainwashed clan members. She rallies them by reaffirming the Tokime Clan&#039;s core ideal of standing alongside humanity and protecting people, not ruling over them. This speech successfully breaks the Doppel&#039;s mind-altering effect on a significant portion of the audience, causing a large-scale rebellion within the hall.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A chaotic battle erupts between the loyal Tokime members and the still-brainwashed faction. Chiharu confronts and defeats Himena in combat, and upon Himena&#039;s defeat, the Kimochi Stone she possessed emerges and interacts with her. In a subsequent mental confrontation, Himena resists the Kimochi&#039;s attempt to possess her body, reasserting her own will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With Himena defeated and the Kimochi Stone reclaimed by Chiharu, the Neo-Magius&#039; plan fails. Shizuka offers Himena a chance to disband the Neo-Magius and join the Tokime Clan, but Himena refuses. As Shizuka, angered by this, moves to attack the defeated Himena, Asahi intervenes and apparently kills Himena with a single blow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, it is revealed that Himena&#039;s death was part of a final contingency plan using Mitsune&#039;s Doppel to alter her allies&#039; perceptions, allowing the Neo-Magius to retreat from the public eye. However, the overuse of her power left Mitsune with lower-body paralysis, a condition similar to what Nemu suffers from. The Neo-Magius leadership regroups in hiding to plan their next move.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After being accepted by the Wind Evangelist, Kagome witnessed a clash between the Neo-Magius and the Tokime Clan at the Kamihama Civic Center, and from a distance, saw what she believed was Himena&#039;s death. She now understands this was a deception, and curses the fact that this illusion led to the current strained situation among Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, shortly after the confrontation at Kamihama Civic Center, Shizuka is troubled by Himena&#039;s accusation that the Tokime Clan&#039;s pride is a form of Magical Girl supremacy, akin to the Neo-Magius ideology. She reflects on her belief that all people are inherently good and that the clan&#039;s mission is to protect them, not look down on them. She struggles to reconcile this with how others might perceive the clan&#039;s pride.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 5: Confused by Good and Evil|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 5: Confused by Good and Evil]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, at Banbanzai, Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, and Ui discuss their recent discoveries. They learn from Tsuruno&#039;s father about an urban legend of a &amp;quot;Phantom Tunnel,&amp;quot; an abandoned subway project near the prison that was halted after the prison&#039;s underground was discovered. Separately, after Yuna had used her own unique magic to redirect Felicia&#039;s Oblivion magic back to her, Felicia awakens from a nightmare where she saw herself killing her parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During a campaign speech for Touka&#039;s father, who is running for office, a sudden wave of intense malice is felt by Chiharu and Shizuka. A man in the crowd, seemingly not influenced by any magical entity, throws a stone at the candidate, nearly inciting a riot. This event forces Shizuka to confront the reality that human evil exists independently of magical influence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, as Nayuta is about to depart that day, Mikage and Mitama see her and Lavi off at the station, but their farewell is interrupted when they witness the same attack on the political speaker. They chase the assailant into an alley before Lavi warns them back, and Nayuta arrives after delaying her trip, sensing something ominous. Lavi identifies the attacker as from the East and mentions unsettling rumors, and Mikage gives Nayuta crushed sweets bought with her allowance before promising to look after Mitama while she is away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As the group processes the event, Kagome reflects that Magical Girls exist because of humanity itself, not Kyubey, and that for others to truly help them, mankind must reconsider how it brings about peace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Seventh Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka takes a walk to clear her mind. She witnesses two brothers arguing; the younger one misinterprets the older one&#039;s helpful advice as condescension. This interaction makes Shizuka consider that the Tokime Clan&#039;s actions might be similarly misunderstood by outsiders. She coincidentally meets Natsuki, and they talk from behind separate trees to avoid being seen together. Shizuka confides her worries, and Natsuki reassures her that Shizuka&#039;s actions stem from a love for humanity, not a sense of superiority. Natsuki suggests Shizuka speak with the priest at her temple.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka returns to Suitoku Temple and discusses her feelings with the chief priest. He introduces her to the Confucian &amp;quot;Theory of Innate Goodness,&amp;quot; which posits that all people are born good and that those who do evil have neglected to nurture that inherent goodness. This philosophy strengthens Shizuka&#039;s resolve and her belief in the righteousness of her mission to protect people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Eighth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka returns to the park to return a cleaned kendama to the brothers, hoping to help them reconcile. She witnesses the older brother from the previous day save a child from being hit by a car, confirming her belief in people&#039;s innate goodness. The younger brother reveals he was also looking for the kendama to apologize. Shizuka determines that her pride is not about superiority but about her duty to protect the inherent good in all people, and she vows not to be swayed by Himena&#039;s words again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the defeat of the Neo-Magius, the Tokime Clan tends to its wounded members, Sunao and Chika. Shizuka also addresses a clan member who defected, reaffirming the clan&#039;s true mission to protect humanity, not to stand above it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka then speaks with Asahi, who fired the shot that &amp;quot;killed&amp;quot; Himena. Asahi states she made the judgment call to protect Shizuka from having to sully her own hands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Ninth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka is conflicted, realizing that in the heat of the moment, she herself had the intent to kill Himena for insulting her ideals. She contrasts this with Iroha&#039;s methods, who seeks to avoid violence. Shizuka is left troubled, as Himena&#039;s words about the existence of evil and the hollowness of pure altruism continue to haunt her, creating doubt despite her reinforced philosophical beliefs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Our Beginning is a Recurring Dream===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki meets with Nanaka to discuss the Kamihama Magia Union, observing that while Nanaka&#039;s team holds different views on joining, they remain united. She reflects that her own group&#039;s strict neutrality may no longer be viable, as Ayame has started making friends and helping them puts them at risk. Later, Ayame, Kako, and Felicia are confronted by Promised Blood members seeking revenge for a previous encounter. Ayame sends a vague warning before fighting, and she is ambushed and cornered, but Konoha and Hazuki arrive in time to rescue her. That evening at home, the three discuss their situation. Ayame wants to continue helping her friends, while Hazuki argues their neutral stance is no longer working. Ayame shares that she has been reading a career book recommended by Kako and thinking about her future. Konoha is uncertain and asks for time to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Our Beginning is a Recurring Dream|Our Beginning is a Recurring Dream / The Beginning of Our Overlapping Dreams]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama introduces the three to Nayuta, a Magical Girl from Takarazaki who recently moved to Kamihama. Nayuta has been attacked by Promised Blood, who mistook her for an impersonator, and she needs an escort to visit Satomi Medical Center to find information about her missing father. She asks the neutral trio to be her bodyguards. After discussing overnight, the three formally decide to accept. Konoha, despite her fears about change, agrees for the sake of their future. Ayame coins the name &amp;quot;Azalea Sisters.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the Azalea Sisters escort Nayuta to Satomi Medical Center. They encounter Promised Blood members, including Sakuya, who is suspicious of their neutral claims. After a brief standoff, Sakuya decides to observe them for now. Nayuta explains she is searching for her father, a scholar researching Magical Girls who disappeared without explanation. They defeat a Witch near the hospital, and Nayuta shares her goal of publishing a book to inform the world about Magical Girls, hoping to reduce the number of girls who make contracts. Ayame is inspired by this.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, the Azalea Sisters receive numerous bodyguard requests. They establish three conditions: clients must be Kamihama Magical Girls regardless of affiliation, they only take defensive actions, and payment is a Grief Seed shared after Witch hunts. Hotori requests their help, and Ayame coaches her to fight Witches independently. Hotori admires Ayame as her &amp;quot;Pink-senpai&amp;quot; and wants to become strong enough to protect her sister and friends. Through training, Hotori defeats a Witch on her own for the first time, and Ayame reflects on Nayuta&#039;s example, realizing she wants to do something for others, not just herself and her sisters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chika secretly hires them to distract the Neo-Magius so Tokime Clan members can return to their village. Hazuki devises a plan to pose as interviewers researching Magical Girl Supremacy, keeping the Neo-Magius occupied while Chika&#039;s group escapes. Chika explains she only recently learned of her connection to the Tokime Clan but loves them for restoring her faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria requests help defeating a fast Witch near the preschool where she volunteers. After the battle, Maria shares her dream of becoming a nursery school teacher. Konoha is reminded of the Azalea House director and begins considering a future helping orphans.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day following these requests, the three reflect on how bodyguard work has changed them. All have begun thinking about their individual futures. They receive an urgent request from Sae Kirino, who was referred by Maria. Sae needs help defeating a Witch at the cargo port immediately. They arrive to find an offshoot Mirrors Labyrinth. Sae is anxious to enter, and sensing she is hiding something, Konoha decides to trust her and accept the request.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night inside the Labyrinth, Sae reveals her younger sister Sayumi wandered inside while looking for a lost stuffed animal. They search while fending off copies. Sae explains her family is the reason she works hard, similar to the Azalea Sisters. They find Sayumi&#039;s name tag and push deeper. A second Witch appears, having migrated through the Mirrors. They find Sayumi collapsed but alive. Sae insists on retrieving her sister&#039;s stuffed animal, which is stuck to the Witch. Konoha agrees while keeping everyone&#039;s safety in mind. During the retrieval, Sae is struck by an attack. Her Soul Gem shatters. She dies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the Azalea Sisters return Sayumi home, lying that her sister is missing. They inform Mitama and Livia they are suspending bodyguard activities. The three are devastated and uncertain about the future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Each sister meets with friends who are worried about them. Ayame meets Kako, who insists they are not murderers and reminds Ayame how many girls she has saved. Ayame admits she is scared of letting someone else die and feels she cannot be a bodyguard anymore. Hazuki meets Nanaka, who seeks information about the Witch and observes that the sisters&#039; atmosphere has changed since becoming bodyguards. Hazuki considers returning to their old ways. Konoha meets Maria, who pleads with Konoha not to quit, saying Sae&#039;s death and their efforts would have no meaning if they give up. Konoha is moved and agrees to reconsider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, the three gather to decide their future. Ayame wants to stop being bodyguards and stay in Kamihama, too afraid of causing another death. Hazuki wants to stop being bodyguards and leave Kamihama to start over somewhere new. Konoha wants to continue being bodyguards in Kamihama, honoring what they have learned and Sae&#039;s memory. They choose Konoha&#039;s path. All three have found dreams through their work and want to keep fighting for them. They resolve to complete Sae&#039;s original request: defeat the Witch that killed her and the offshoot Mirror Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the three return to the Labyrinth alone. It has grown larger and more dangerous overnight. They struggle against increased copies. As they near the core, they are ambushed by copy traps but are rescued by Nanaka&#039;s team, Hotori, Rion, Maria, and Kako, who have all come to help after learning of their decision. Konoha accepts their help. The group clears a path while the Azalea Sisters push forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night and into early morning, they encounter the Witch that killed Sae. During the battle, a copy of Sae appears and leads Konoha deeper into the Labyrinth. Konoha chooses to follow. The copy attacks her, and Konoha is gravely wounded, collapsing near the core and facing the offshoot Mirror Witch alone. Hazuki and Ayame arrive. All three unleash their Doppels simultaneously, destroying the Witch and the Labyrinth. They emerge at the cargo port at dawn, exhausted but alive. Sae suddenly appears—she had used her unique magic to fake death and hide, but was trapped in the Labyrinth until its destruction. She is alive and well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sae visits to thank them and offer payment. They decline a second Grief Seed, asking instead that she advertise their bodyguard services as a living witness to clear their reputation. Sae agrees. The three discuss their futures over dinner. Konoha wants to work with children like the Azalea House director. Ayame wants to become a bodyguard. Hazuki wants to reform the system for orphans from behind the scenes. They make a new promise: to always support each other and make their dreams come true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Witches&#039; Paradox Extermination Battle===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and the others gather as Iroha explains that multiple Witches have suddenly appeared in Chuo Ward, emerging from Endless Mirrors. Touka warns that the mirrors may connect not only to distant lands but to the past and parallel worlds, potentially causing paradoxes if they defeat Witches from other timelines. As they discuss how to proceed, Iroha receives a call from Madoka, who reveals she and her friends are already in Chuo Ward and just fought a Witch that escaped them in Mitakihara months ago—complete with Madoka&#039;s arrow still embedded and her magic still present. Touka deduces that offshoot Mirrors must connect past Mitakihara to present Chuo Ward and assigns roles: she and Nemu will research paradox prevention, Iroha will contact Kyubey for information, Mifuyu and the Amane sisters will destroy the connecting mirrors, and all available Magical Girls will defeat the invading Witches while avoiding use of their Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradoxone&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Witches&#039; Paradox Extermination Battle|The Witches&#039; Paradox Extermination Battle 1]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu and the Amane sisters destroy the mirror connected to Chuo Ward while Madoka&#039;s team continues fighting Witches, struggling with not being able to use the Seeds they collect. After multiple battles, the group learns that a Kissed person has stolen a tanker truck to create poison gas. Iroha realizes the restricted area where Puella Care is based matches the conditions for such an attack. They arrive to find Livia&#039;s team already containing the Kissed crowd, and Madoka&#039;s group defeats the Witch while Iroha secures the scene.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradoxone&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Madoka&#039;s team has defeated seven Witches total. Madoka suddenly remembers that this number matches the seven Grief Seeds that a version of Sayaka gave her in the past—a memory only she retains. She realizes that future Sayaka traveled back through the mirrors to deliver those Seeds and balance the numbers. Sayaka must now make that journey herself, despite her exhaustion. She successfully travels through the mirrors, completes her mission, and returns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradoxone&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu destroys the mirror connecting to Mitakihara, a leaf stuck to Sayaka&#039;s uniform from hiding during her past encounter instantly vanishes. Touka later theorizes to Iroha that this demonstrates a corrective function in the universe—that paradoxes are gradually healed, possibly by the Mirror Witch herself. She suggests breaking responsible mirrors should nullify such phenomena. When Iroha asks about the waking dream she and Madoka shared of these events, Touka explains that voided events become dreams instead, leaving them with memories of things that both happened and never happened at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradoxone&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu senses a magical transfer and realizes a terminal mirror is still hidden, allowing witches to potentially move into Kamihama. She sends the Amane sisters to report to Touka while she searches for the mirror.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradoxtwo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Witches&#039; Paradox Extermination Battle|The Witches&#039; Paradox Extermination Battle 2]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka confirms that witch reactions have appeared across the city, likely due to the Endless Mirrors connecting past, future, and parallel worlds to the present. This could lead to paradoxes that might destroy their world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradoxtwo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Breaking the mirror should undo the events, but Sana warns that memories of pain and death would remain. Yachiyo splits the group: the Amanes and Mifuyu will destroy the mirror while Team Mikazuki Villa exterminates the invading witches until then. Tsuruno suggests informing all Kamihama magical girls, and they move out. Soon, they&#039;re able to break the mirrors responsible and thwart the threat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradoxtwo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Part 5==&lt;br /&gt;
Part 5 encompasses [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 6: Raison D&#039;etre on Thin Ice|Chapter 6]]. It is quite likely that no days pass between Part 4 and Part 5, however it is unverifiable, as at least a few days have passed from the sixth day of Part 4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;First Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia and Kyubey discuss the current state of Kamihama. Livia confirms that Himena was defeated, and the group has dissolved. However, a rumor she started—that Kamihama Magia Union&#039;s eastern and western factions had a secret agreement leading to Ryo&#039;s death—continues to spread and cause tension. Kyubey notes this infighting is beneficial as it causes Magical Girls to fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 6: Raison D&#039;etre on Thin Ice|Arc 2, Chapter 6: Raison D&#039;etre on Thin Ice]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Crescent House, Felicia shows signs of emotional distress, haunted by a dream where she killed her own parents, and the team attempts to cheer her up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At her cafe, Ikumi struggles with her work, burdened by Ryo&#039;s death. After work, Kanagi and Mitama discuss the political fallout from a recent mayoral election assault, while Mikage mentions the damaging rumor about the Union is spreading in the east.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In Yukuni, Nayuta continues her search for her father with Lavi and Alexandra. After seeing a girl with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, they save her from jumping and defeat the Witch. When she wakes up, she sees Nayuta&#039;s ring and becomes hostile when she realizes they&#039;re Magical Girls. She decides to simply stay away from them, but advises Nayuta to conceal her Magical Girl status in Yukuni.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Union holds a strategy meeting at Ryushinkan. To counter the rumor and distrust, they plan a joint operation with eastern and western members. The goal is for members not chosen by the Kimochi to destroy the Mirrors Witch and sever Promised Blood&#039;s shortcut from Futatsugi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rena gets a call from Ranka, begging them to speak to her, as she was leaving Promised Blood in favor of the Union. Rena, as well as other Union members, meet Ranka at the game center to receive the information about their shortcut. After giving them some info regarding its hereabout, the meeting is interrupted by Juri, who violently retrieves Ranka. Once out of their range, Ranka tells Juri she overdid the act and actually hurt her. The Union plans to attack via two routes: the old trainyard and a route through Kosho Ward&#039;s Electric Town, based on information from Ranka. Union confirms the location of the base but remains suspicious of a trap.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That evening, Yuna goes to get Coordinated in the Puella Care trailer. She notifies Livia that after she redirected Felicia&#039;s magic back at her, its started to make her remember something she&#039;d used her magic to erase. Yuna now plans to use this to sow discord within the Union&#039;s ranks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At night, during the operation, the teams assemble and Kanagi leads the eastern team to the old trainyard, while Yachiyo leads the western team to the Electric Town route.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102701 withdrawal.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The operation fails and the Electric Town route is blocked by a magically reinforced excavation shield used for tunnels, trapping Yachiyo&#039;s team. Promised Blood&#039;s main force, including Ranka, also ambushes Kanagi&#039;s team at the trainyard. The eastern members who cannot fight are cornered, and Kanagi is severely injured while protecting them by Ao, who is briefly overtaken by her Kimochi. Yachiyo&#039;s team breaks through to rescue them, forcing a full retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the battle, at Mitama&#039;s office, the injured Kanagi warns the others that the Kimochi can overwhelm their users, as happened with Ao. Rena also feels sad due to Ranka&#039;s betrayal and the failed operation and heavy injuries deepen the existing distrust between the eastern and western factions. Yuna analyzes the battle, recognizing Union&#039;s attempt to operate outside the Kimochi&#039;s rules solely to defeat their local Mirrors Witch. Ao is left emotionally distraught after her Kimochi overtook her during the fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Second Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage and Sudachi hear news reports about the ongoing investigation into the mayoral election assault, which implicates Mitama and Kanagi. At the Crescent House&#039;s laboratory, Touka analyzes a black photograph from Ryo&#039;s phone, finding a clue. At Kanagi&#039;s home, Iroha treats her injuries and they discuss the burdens of leadership, with Kanagi advising Iroha to hold onto her idealism.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia meets Kako and Ayame in a park, and Ayame, concerned about Felicia&#039;s distress over her dream of killing her parents, suggests they visit Suitoku Temple to find ghosts. At the temple, which serves as the Tokime clan&#039;s base, they learn that clan members Sunao and Chika are recovering from their injuries. The &amp;quot;ghosts&amp;quot; of the people in the temple are a manifestation of Asahi&#039;s unique magic, used to monitor the Magical Girls&#039; proximity to death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As she&#039;s going home from the temple, Felicia encounters Yuna by chance, who says she was on the way to Suitoku Temple. Felicia stops and asks her what she did to her in Kamihama Prison. Yuna reveals that, after she&#039;d seen Felicia use her magic, she realized Felicia&#039;s magic may have originated from her contract making her forget something. Yuna merely redirected the magic back at Felicia, making her start to remember what happened. Yuna then transforms and makes Felicia remember everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102702 karin comic.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu&#039;s investigation team continues to search the Endless Mirrors, but progress is stalled as Alina remains asleep and unable to map deeper floors. Karin creates a manga, &amp;quot;The Alina Gray Reform Project,&amp;quot; hoping to inspire Alina to change. Inspired by this, Mifuyu proposes a plan to destroy the Mirrors terminal, severing all shortcuts at once. She gains the Tokime clan&#039;s approval for this plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha and Kanagi discover that the route from Kamihama Prison to the subway is not blocked, as Ranka had claimed. Tsuruno also finds out about a ventilation shaft that leads to the subway and Yachiyo&#039;s team formulates a new three-pronged invasion plan using these routes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the game center, Rena, Kaede, and Momoko have a tense encounter with Ranka and Juri. Rena is emotionally devastated by Ranka&#039;s betrayal, and Felicia, who is also present, becomes enraged and destroys a punching machine, later breaking down in tears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, continuing the search in Yukuni, Nayuta finds a lead at a local folklore museum, where an assistant professor directs them to an inn called &amp;quot;The Cradle of the Earth.&amp;quot; Nayuta contacts the inn and learns her father has a reservation for the following day, all the while Lavi and Alexandra feel bad for hiding their involvement with Tasuke from her. However, that night they receive a call at their room notifying them that Tasuke has cancelled his stay for tomorrow. They receive a letter at their door from Tasuke, arranging him to meet with Nayuta after he speaks with his brother, Touka&#039;s father.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* That evening, the Union holds a final strategy meeting at Ryushinkan. They finalize the plan to attack the subway at 5:30 AM the next day, simultaneously with Mifuyu&#039;s operation to destroy the Mirrors terminal. Yachiyo states that any member, including Felicia, will be subject to a final evaluation before the operation begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the subway, Yuna and Promised Blood continue to search for the offshoot Mirrors Witch, counting on the internal strife within Union to buy them time. At Puella Care, Livia expresses concern for Felicia, and at Crescent House, Felicia cries alone, believing she does not deserve to be with her friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102703 smartphone.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Felicia confronts Kako through a text message, having deduced that she knew the truth about her wish, and how Felicia was the one who killed her own parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia runs away and Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Ui, and Sana pursue her. Kako and Ayame also join the search after learning of Felicia&#039;s distress.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102703 felicia house1.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102703 felicia house2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia escapes their pursuit by unleashing her Doppel and returns to her burned-out family apartment in Minaminagi. She relives the traumatic memory of the accident: during an argument with her mother, she kicked her, causing a pot of oil to spill and start a fire. In a panic, Felicia threw water on the oil fire, which worsened the blaze. In that moment of despair, Kyubey appeared, and Felicia wished for the incident to have never happened. Her unique magic of oblivion was a direct result of this wish, causing her to forget her own role in the tragedy, as the wording of her wish was changed due to her emotional state.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Third Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team finds Felicia on the 15th floor. Her Kimochi bracelet reacts violently, and the Kimochi itself attempts to seize control of her body by amplifying her self-hatred. Iroha uses her own Kimochi bracelet to connect everyone&#039;s hearts to Felicia&#039;s.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Despite their pleas, Felicia remains consumed by guilt and is willing to let the Kimochi take her. Kako and Ayame then arrive with Asahi, who, using her unique magic, summons the spirits of Felicia&#039;s parents. They absolve Felicia of blame, explaining the accident was a result of family tensions and their own failures as parents. They tell her to live happily and bless others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102703 felicia house3.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102703 crescent members.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* By dawn, she is freed from her guilt by her parents&#039; forgiveness, and Felicia rejects the Kimochi, reclaiming control of her body and her future. She resolves to live on and make others happy. The immediate crisis ends, but Asahi reflects cynically on the value of a Magical Girl&#039;s life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the operation, 5:30 AM, the Union launches its three-pronged attack on the subway to destroy Promised Blood&#039;s offshoot Mirrors Witch. Iroha&#039;s team from Mikazuki is absent, having been delayed by Felicia&#039;s emotional crisis, but Momoko&#039;s and Kanagi&#039;s teams proceed with the mission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi&#039;s team enters via Kamihama Prison but they&#039;re immediately ambushed. Kanagi stays behind to duel Ao, who&#039;s now lost her sense of fear entirely, while Momoko&#039;s team advances. Throughout this, Kagome herself goes to investigate the ventilation opening and finds Urara, who is waiting for the girls of Mikazuki. She questions Kagome about her interviews, but when Kagome mentions Tasuke, Urara attacks her, prompting Rii to emerge and protect her, which makes Kagome realize Urara knows the professor. Meanwhile, Mifuyu&#039;s team enters through the Endless Mirrors to destroy the parent terminal. Rena, her team and other Union members fight against Juri, Ranka and their team, while Alina negotiates with the voice inside her, saying that if they don&#039;t help, Alina will give up and live as a new person. The voice temporarily takes over her body and allows Alina to open a sudden shortcut, accelerating their descent.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the operation in the offshoot Mirrors, Momoko&#039;s team engages Juri and Ranka in battle. Miyako and Ikumi are incapacitated by Sakuya, while Kanagi, fighting Ao, is ambushed by Yuna, Hikaru and Urara. Ao reclaims the Kimochi from Kanagi, who is severely wounded and on the verge of being killed when Iroha&#039;s team finally arrives. Together, they hold off Promised Blood and rescue Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102704 ikumi attack.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu&#039;s team arrives in the offshoot Mirrors through a linked mirror in the Mirrors terminal area, but they aren&#039;t strong enough to fight the Witch directly with Promised Blood going against them. Juri also uses her Kimochi to send her opponents into its Labyrinth, picking them off one by one, though Alina&#039;s immune to its effects. Ikumi, in a final act of despair, makes a pact with her Kimochi Stone, apologizing that she won&#039;t be the one to take it to the Automatic Purification System. She uses its power to destroy the offshoot Mirrors Witch, but in doing so, her body is completely consumed, and she vanishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the Witch defeated and the shortcut severed, the battle ends, but Promised Blood now has gained Ikumi&#039;s Kimochi Stone as well. The four Kimochi Stones held by Promised Blood resonate with those held by the Union. Through this connection, Ui and the others perceive all the Kimochi&#039;s true intention: to gather all eight stones, return to their original form as the Witch Eve, and use the Magical Girls&#039; conflict to create openings to possess the main twelve of them to the girls&#039; destruction. Despite this revelation, Yuna remains confident that she can control the Kimochi and the Automatic Purification System, and Promised Blood retreats with their victory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, at Mitama&#039;s office, the injured Kanagi works to prevent the eastern Magical Girls from blaming the west for her injuries. Everyone present, especially Hinano mourns Ikumi and her sacrifice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime hear news from Mifuyu that Ikumi has died. Shizuka decides they should investigate the stone throwing incident, as she suspects the Neo-Magius had something to do with it. After talking with Chiharu and Sunao, they decide to pay Mitama a visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta, Lavi, and Alexandra go to her uncle&#039;s office and, after waiting for a very long time, Nayuta decides to investigate on her own. She finds the director&#039;s office and overhears a phone conversation where he mentions confining Tasuke to &amp;quot;cool his head&amp;quot; and discusses bringing his brother&#039;s Magical Girl research to the public from a &amp;quot;scientific point of view.&amp;quot; Lavi, seizing the opportunity to sever Nayuta&#039;s ties with her cousin Touka, manipulates Nayuta into believing her uncle plans to steal her father&#039;s work for fame. This successfully turns Nayuta against her uncle and, by extension, Touka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana experiences a creative block, unable to continue drawing her picture books. A haunting dream of her brothers, who dismiss fiction as an escape from reality, causes her to doubt the value and power of her art. She concludes that her work is meaningless and that she must take practical action in the real world to be of use.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 6: The Changing World From Behind the Shield|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 6: The Changing World From Behind the Shield]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Seeking a tangible purpose, Sana accompanies Kagome on her mission to document Magical Girls across Kamihama, acting as her bodyguard. During their travels, they observe several interactions: Felicia happily reconciling with Kako and Ayame after they helped her speak with her parents&#039; spirits; how Shizuku is not working at her cafe; the somber atmosphere at Ikumi&#039;s cafe as staff and patrons grieve her sudden death; and Kanagi preparing a memorial event for Ikumi, stating she wants to &amp;quot;mourn to remember, not to forget.&amp;quot; Finally, they assist a search party in the Mirrors Labyrinth looking for the missing Alina and Karin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the search, Sana uses her unique magic of to distract a powerful Witch, allowing the other Magical Girls to defeat it. Despite this success, Sana feels her efforts are ultimately futile as the primary goal of finding Alina and Karin is not achieved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that night, feeling dejected, Sana calls Sunao. Their conversation about a childhood animated film, &amp;quot;The Epic Story of Mr. Purrs-a-lot!,&amp;quot; reveals to Sana that her courageous act in the Labyrinth was subconsciously inspired by that very film. This realization, combined with the earnest efforts she witnessed in everyone that day, helps her understand that stories are not an escape from reality but a source of inspiration for those living within it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Reinvigorated, Sana speaks with Nemu, who also confirms the power of creativity. Nemu suggests that Sana publish her illustrations as an e-book through Touka&#039;s social media efforts to help spread awareness of Magical Girls. Sana agrees, resolving to continue her art with renewed faith in its purpose.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;A Few Days Later:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha goes to Mitama&#039;s to help Kanagi heal completely before they head out. At Ikumi&#039;s cafe, a memorial is held by Kanagi for her final performance. The Union mourns their losses, having learned they are being manipulated by the very power they sought to control, yet the conflict with Promised Blood continues.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama, the mayoral election concludes, and as the ballots will be called the following day, the political atmosphere remains tense. At Mitama&#039;s shop, she, Mikage, and Kagome watch a news report alleging election law violations involving minors, which they recognize refers to Mitama&#039;s own assistance with the eastern candidate&#039;s campaign. Mitama reveals she participated hoping to improve the east&#039;s reputation and, by extension, her own view of Kamihama. The report causes her significant distress.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102705 kanagi mitama.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* That night in Kamihama, Mitama, Mikage, and Kagome, who are then joined by members of the Tokime clan, investigate the election. Using Chiharu&#039;s sense for malice and a listening device, they overhear a conversation between the newly elected mayor and Touka&#039;s father. They learn the stone-throwing incident was a plot by western factions to frame the east and maintain negative stereotypes. This revelation devastates Mitama, causing her to nearly relapse into the despair that originally led to her Magical Girl wish. After the others sense her darkened magic, she is calmed by Kanagi and Momoko, but the event deepens the political schism.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, after hearing Mitama&#039;s breakdown, has a personal revelation. She openly declares her resolve to &amp;quot;create a world where everyone can live&amp;quot; and save all Magical Girls, including those in Promised Blood, by ending the conflict without taking lives, focusing on their shared desire for salvation. Nearby, Lavi observes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, in a separate meeting, Folklore of Zero, discuss these events. They have successfully isolated Nayuta and note Iroha&#039;s pacifist &amp;quot;Mohist&amp;quot; ideology. Lavi expresses doubt that Iroha&#039;s approach can succeed alone against the impending &amp;quot;Awakening,&amp;quot; a central tenet of their own beliefs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Part 6==&lt;br /&gt;
Part 6 encompasses [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 7: Twilight Remnant|Chapter 7]] and [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 8: Flowers Sprouting from the Remains of Dreams|Chapter 8]]. It appears that at least a few days have passed since the end of Part 5, as Shizuku has gone back to work, and Sana has finished her e-book.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;First Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* At night, Livia talks to Kyubey and updates him on the Kimochi&#039;s intentions. She asks him about his experiment, but he says he still needs more time to see the results. She reassures him that she will keep his request of keeping Kagome safe. Livia returns to Kamihama and meets with Yozuru and Sudachi, who have bought ingredients for food. She tells them about how they should keep Kagome safe, as their future depends on them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 7: Twilight Remnant|Arc 2, Chapter 7: Twilight Remnant]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Second Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* While working throughout the day, Shizuku tears up after the deaths of both Ryo and Ikumi. Meanwhile, Yuna, Juri, Hikaru, and Ao hold a council. With the Mirrors shortcut gone, Futatsugi is trapped, with no Witches to hunt, no funds to commute, and their connection to Kamihama severed. Yuna admits her miscalculation led to this and vows to fight on, abandoning the peaceful ideals of her respected senior. Juri recalls that Alina Gray was able to fight without being chosen by a Kimochi because she lacked interest in the Stones themselves. The group deduces that the Kimochi&#039;s Labyrinth rule only activates if a Magical Girl&#039;s objective is to acquire a Kimochi Stone or the Automatic Purification System. If they attack with pure killing intent, the rule does not apply.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna proposes making Futatsugi City the final battlefield. This eliminates their financial and logistical problems and allows them to deploy Magical Girls from the city who are unaware of the Kimochi Stones and thus immune to the Labyrinth rule. Ao reveals she has already informed allies from the Janomiya group, who are now on standby in Futatsugi. Yuna confirms these girls will serve as their vanguard to break the Union. Juri separates from the group to settle her own promises, tracking down and briefly fighting Shigure and Hagumu. After defeating them, Juri takes them to a family restaurant, explaining she is fulfilling her promises for good luck in the coming battle, which she reveals will be Promised Blood&#039;s last stand. She warns them that, despite Neo-Magius&#039; fall, they should be careful around their new friends as the nicer someone is, the more dangerous they can be.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Union and their allies gather at Crescent House for safety. Yachiyo explains that Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa are not present since they&#039;re still searching Mirrors for the missing Karin and Alina. The group discusses the grim reality that they, like Promised Blood, cannot hide indefinitely due to school and family obligations. Separately, Touka and Nemu struggle with their project to reveal the truth of Magical Girls to the world, finding their online efforts inexplicably ineffective, however Sana successfully publishes an e-book of her picture book and sends it to Sunao.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, inside the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena attempts to use her Synthesis magic on objects but fails repeatedly, reducing her ingredients to charcoal. San arrives with Miyuri and decides to personally oversee Himena&#039;s training, theorizing that Himena can synthesize magic between people but lacks a concrete mental image for objects. She assigns combat training against Witches to help Himena develop visualization skills, and after defeating several Witches, Himena demonstrates improved control by visualizing her magic as transferring light from one person to another. San reveals that Phase 2 will involve synthesizing magic into objects using collected Grief Seeds, and Alexandra is expected to arrive tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 7: Underwater Plot|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 7: Underwater Plot]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sunao receives a message from Sana checking in on her, she discuses with Chiharu about how she believes that Promised Blood must be defeated in order to achieve peace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Lavi, Alexandra, Asahi, and Urara discuss the consequences of the upcoming Futatsugi battle. Lavi confirms that the conflict advanced her clock&#039;s hands toward the &amp;quot;Awakening,&amp;quot; and that the Neo-Magius faction, now empowered, will accelerate this process. She identifies key individuals whose deaths would signify the point of no return, those being Touka, Nemu, Nayuta and Kagome. Lavi instructs Alexandra to withdraw from the Neo-Magius when they begin their major operations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Third Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Within the Tokime Clan, Shizuka reflects deeply on her purpose. She is haunted by the words of San, who argued that controlling people from above is sometimes necessary to strip away the &amp;quot;evil at the root&amp;quot; of society. She begins to question whether simply protecting people is enough, or if a more fundamental change to the world is required, a task only the Tokime Diviners could undertake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakuya confronts Iroha and Tsuruno at school, delivering an ultimatum from Promised Blood that the final battle will be in Futatsugi City. She threatens that if the Union does not come, they will destroy their four Kimochi Stones the following night. Iroha knows this is a bluff, as the Kimochi would resist or abandon them, but acknowledges the risk of the Stones being destroyed or reverted outside of Kamihama&#039;s protection is too great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Alexandra arrives to the Takarazaki Community Center, and Himena spends hours attempting to synthesize her demotivation magic into a broom, then switches to Miyuri&#039;s magic, all without success. Shigure and Hagumu report feeling increasingly uncomfortable from repeated exposure to mixed magical energies. San suggests a change of scenery and asks Himena to help prepare for a community festival the next day. Himena agrees and heads home, while San asks Shigure and Hagumu to elaborate on their uncomfortable feeling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Union and Tokime Clan hold a strategy meeting at Suitoku Temple, where they acknowledge the immense disadvantage of fighting on Promised Blood&#039;s home turf but conclude they have no choice. Shizuku, motivated by a desire to stop the cycle of hope being destroyed and to atone for her inability to save Ryo and Ikumi, contacts Iroha through the phone and begs to be of use. She does not seek revenge, but wants to help end the conflict.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* A plan is formed at Ryushin dojo around Shizuku&#039;s unique magic of teleportation. This provides the &amp;quot;one-shot reversal&amp;quot; Yachiyo had sought. The final roster for the Futatsugi operation is set: the members of Mikazuki and Momoko&#039;s team, plus the Tokime Clan. Kanagi and Hinano will remain in Kamihama to protect the city and the vulnerable former Magius members. Meanwhile, Livia, Yozuru, and Sudachi formally inform Kagome that they will be protecting her personally when she goes to observe the final battle, fearing she could be caught in the crossfire.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi coordinates defense efforts in Kamihama. She ensures the evacuation of vulnerable Magical Girls, focusing on Touka and Nemu. Kanagi stations herself at Crescent House to protect them, while Mitama remains at her shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu, accompanied by Sakurako and later Kanagi, conduct research at the Chuo Ward library. They investigate historical records and city statistics, uncovering a pattern: incidents involving Magical Girls consistently fail to become public knowledge, a phenomenon they term a &amp;quot;Fantasy.&amp;quot; They also research the legend of Tsuyu Mizuna and Chizuru, historical &amp;quot;Battle-Shamanesses&amp;quot; who were likely Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka visits her father in the Medical Center. He reveals he now believes in Magical Girls and, alongside her missing uncle Tasuke, plans to protect them from public exploitation when their existence is inevitably revealed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama, Nanaka learns from Akira and Meiyui that the Union and Promised Blood&#039;s final battle will occur in Futatsugi, with only Kimochi-chosen girls permitted to participate. Meiyui offers to arrange shelter in Takarazaki through her connections, and Nanaka, Akira, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and agree to help prepare for a local children&#039;s festival in exchange for lodging.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Himena cleans a warehouse alone, frustrated by manual labor. She senses approaching Magical Girls and recognizes them from descriptions as Kamihama girls. Fearing exposure, she hides but accidentally knocks something over, and Nanaka&#039;s group discovers her. Outnumbered four to one, Himena panics. Nanaka attempts peaceful resolution, clarifying they are not Union members, but Himena refuses to believe her. Nanaka&#039;s group decides to retreat and have Meiyui alter Himena&#039;s memory of their meeting. Kako and Akira create an opening, and Meiyui touches Himena, successfully altering her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San appears to check on Himena and reveals Meiyui&#039;s magic has a loophole. When asked, Himena&#039;s memory fully returns, and the two sides prepare to fight. The battle drags on with neither side gaining advantage. Himena, exhausted, formulates a risky plan and charges Meiyui, touching her with her broom and using synthesis to transfer Meiyui&#039;s own magic back at her, commanding her to forget the meeting. The spell takes hold, and Nanaka&#039;s group, now confused, believes they were simply retrieving supplies. They sense something wrong and decide to leave Takarazaki immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Himena and San return to the community center, injured but victorious. Himena demonstrates her perfected magic on Shigure with the broom, and San theorizes Himena subconsciously infused her own magic into the broom through prolonged use. Himena confirms the theory by successfully synthesizing Sasha&#039;s magic into a dustpan. She celebrates, acknowledging everyone&#039;s help, and reflects that they are now ready for the next stage of their operation. Meanwhile, Nanaka senses a familiar magical presence and recognizes it as an enemy, but decides not to act, sensing the situation remains too unclear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shigure and Hagumu visit Mitsune, who has suffered a paralysis of her lower body after overusing her Doppel, similar to Nemu&#039;s condition. At the hospital, they see Touka, Nemu and Kanagi, who are aware of Mitsune and her condition. Back at the Neo-Magius base, the other members all insist they&#039;d only made Mitsune use her Doppel once. Later that night, while she is alone, Mitsune regrets manipulating the election results, as she thinks of the demonstrations in Kamihama for a re-election.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Simultaneously, the Amane sisters face a separate crisis, as Tsukuyo calls Mifuyu and lets her know neither of them will be able to attend meetings. Their families, on opposing sides of Kamihama&#039;s East-West political feud, discover the twins have been secretly meeting. Both are essentially placed under house arrest, severing their contact.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102803 shizuku puzzle.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Hinano, after a period of withdrawal, resolves to contribute to the Union&#039;s plan. She and Mifuyu guard Shizuku, whose portal magic is critical to the Union&#039;s operation in Futatsugi. Members of Promised Blood attack Shizuku&#039;s Kamihama residence, but Mifuyu and Hinano repel them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* That night of the deployment Yachiyo confirms the plan: Team Mikazuki, Momoko&#039;s team, and the Tokime Clan will travel to Futatsugi City via Shizuku&#039;s magic. Shizuku awaits their signal and in Futatsugi, Yuna solemnly recites the names of her fallen comrades, vowing to reclaim the blood they shed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Union and Tokime Clan move to confront Promised Blood in Futatsugi, while Kagome travels to the city under the protection of Yozuru, Sudachi, and Livia to document the event. She observes that Yuna chose this battlefield not only for its strategic value but to settle her grudge in the presence of her fallen comrades.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Before the battle, the members of Promised Blood reflect on their motivations, and Yuna vows to avenge the dead Magical Girls of Futatsugi and acquire all Kimochi Stones. Her subordinates, including Sakuya, Ranka, Hikaru, Ao, and Juri, each grapple with their own reasons for fighting, from a desire for vengeance to a twisted longing for peace through dominance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The battle begins with a coordinated signal from Promised Blood. The Union and Tokime Clan&#039;s initial plan to capture Yuna fails when she reveals a backup force. Yuna exploits a loophole in the Kimochi&#039;s rules, deploying Magical Girls from Futatsugi who have no intent to acquire a Stone, allowing them to fight without being sent to a Labyrinth. This tactic gives Promised Blood a significant numerical advantage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna&#039;s strategy involves dividing the enemy forces using Futatsugi&#039;s terrain, hunting them down individually, and then herding them toward a central location for a final annihilation. The Union and Tokime Clan members find themselves isolated and pursued across the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka and Yuna clash over their opposing philosophies of leadership and sacrifice. Sakuya and Ryoko, formerly friends, fight with the understanding that one must kill the other. Juri battles Tsuruno, expressing that conflict is her fundamental nature. Ranka confronts Rena, her conflicted feelings about their past friendship causing her to ultimately let Rena escape. Ao, heavily influenced by her Kimochi, fights Yachiyo with a new, violent philosophy of achieving peace through preemptive domination. Iroha encounters Hikaru and reaffirms her resolve to end the conflict and save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Despite their efforts, the scattered members of the Union and Tokime Clan are systematically maneuvered into a single location. Yuna and the full force of Promised Blood surround them, declaring the battle won and preparing for the final assault.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* As the battle in Futatsugi intensifies, Shizuku prepares to execute her role, ready to teleport the besieged Union and Tokime Clan forces on their signal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102802 pb triumph.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During the final battle in Futatsugi, Yuna orders Promised Blood to execute the wounded Union and Tokime Clan members by destroying the unfinished building they&#039;d been cornered into. As Promised Blood deliver the final blows, Shizuku teleports the besieged forces to safety nearby, and then returns to Kamihama. Yuna realizes her plans to assassinate Shizuku in Kamihama, as well as the Union and Tokime forces in Futatsugi both failed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Union and Tokime Clan counterattack, and gain the upper hand on the battle. Yuna, with her forces cornered and desperate, absorbs the Kimochi Stones from Juri, Hikaru, and Ao, despite knowing the risk of being controlled. Yuna&#039;s transformation inspires Promised Blood to fight back again, including Ranka, who goes up against Momoko&#039;s team, as well as Sakuya, who goes against Ryoko. Asahi and Urara attempt to stop the latter, however the clash ultimately ends up killing Sakuya.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The members of the Union try to fight against and defend themselves against Yuna, however when she hears of Sakuya&#039;s death, the power of four Stones overwhelms her, and the Kimochi begin to erode her mind and body, making her go berserk as the Kimochi no longer agree with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome, witnessing the battle, defies her protectors and rushes to the front lines to protect one of the lesser members of Promised Blood, where Yuna&#039;s uncontrolled attack gravely injures her. Iroha resolves to save Yuna alone and follows her into the catacombs beneath Futatsugi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fifth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside the catacombs, Iroha connects with Yuna&#039;s consciousness through her own Kimochi Stone. She sees her mind being consumed by the Kimochi and she witnesses Yuna&#039;s and Futatsugi&#039;s past: the constant warfare in Futatsugi, the death of her mentor, her hatred for Kamihama&#039;s Magius, and her deep-seated guilt and grief. Yuna, in turn, sees Iroha&#039;s memories of her forgotten sister Ui and her unwavering resolve to save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102804 yuna iroha3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha communicates directly with the Kimochi inside Yuna, assuring them she means no harm and will take them to the Automatic Purification System. The Kimochi release their hold on Yuna, and through this shared experience, Yuna finally understands Iroha&#039;s genuine nature. She chooses to trust Iroha personally, though she maintains her resentment toward Kamihama as a whole.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Immediately after the battle as others arrive into the catacombs, Yuna officially disbands Promised Blood and ends the vendetta against Kamihama. She explains to her followers that uniting all eight Kimochi Stones may be the key to their liberation and agrees to a temporary alliance with the Union and Tokime Clan. Yuna gives the Kimochi Stone of Opal to Juri, Pearl to Ao, and Aquamarine to Hikaru.&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside at dawn, Yuna and Iroha talk about Sakuya, and Yuna gives Iroha her Kimochi Stone of Garnet, trusting her to give it to Kanagi as atonement. Yuna departs from Iroha&#039;s group and goes back inside the catacombs with Promised Blood. She asks the others to leave her alone with Sakuya&#039;s body for a while and apologizes to her, promising to help Ao and everyone in Futatsugi as she would have wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama, Nayuta wakes troubled by the realization that her uncle has taken her father prisoner, likely to steal his research on Magical Girls. Lavi advises her to verify the truth rather than speculate, and Nayuta decides to confront her uncle directly rather than approach Touka first. Lavi privately resolves to free the professor herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, Kagome awakens in the hospital, having survived her critical injuries with her mother in the room. She learns the conflict between the factions has ended, but new developments are dividing the Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta goes to confront her uncle in his office. He denies everything, claiming her father is simply hospitalized for tests due to exhaustion. Nayuta is escorted out, unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the Union and Tokime Clan members part ways with Promised Blood and return to Kamihama. Mitama uses her Coordination to heal the severely wounded, including Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Ryoko, and Asahi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Shizuku explains that her portal magic has weakened after she found her personal resolution last night, no longer needing to search for a place to belong. She can now only utilize it within Kamihama Ciy. Meanwhile at Suitoku Temple, the Tokime Clan also discover that Asahi&#039;s body is covered in older, severe scars, prompting an investigation into her origins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, at the hospital in Futatsugi, Yuna waits for Urara to awake. Urara, revealed to have been an undercover investigator, is given permission to stay in Futatsugi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Coordinator&#039;s caravan base, Lavi and Puella Care discuss the aftermath of the Promised Blood conflict. One person died, Urara and Kagome were seriously injured, and Yuna surrendered after facing Iroha. Alexandra notes that with Iroha working to prevent conflict, Himena will now push the world toward the Awakening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sixth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Nayuta meets with Mikage, who offers to question Touka directly while Nayuta listens through telepathy. Meanwhile, Lavi uses magic planted on a pen during previous hospital visits to locate the professor. When Mikage calls, Touka is shocked to learn about her uncle&#039;s confinement and immediately confronts her father. He admits he lied, claiming Tasuke has given up on his theory. Touka tells Nayuta only that the two men are now working together. Nayuta remains suspicious, and Lavi confirms the professor was in Touka&#039;s old hospital room and has already freed him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After parting ways with Nayuta, Mikage goes to the Tomorrow Shop candy store in Sankyo Ward with Sudachi. They feel useless after failing to protect Kagome and wish they could become dependable adults. At the shop, a group of children from the West harass Mikage for being from the eastern Daito Ward. They cite news reports and parental warnings that label the East as dangerous and connected to criminals. The confrontation escalates when one child throws a rock, striking Mikage in the head. The elderly woman chases the children off and tends to Mikage&#039;s injury.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 8: Flowers Sprouting from the Remains of Dreams|Arc 2, Chapter 8: Flowers Sprouting from the Remains of Dreams]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi arrive and witness this incident. Mitama, already filled with resentment towards the city for the ostracization she faced, confronts the children. She declares her hatred for the entire city and states she will no longer tolerate discrimination that impacts daily life. Kanagi reflects that the younger generation&#039;s perpetuation of these attitudes spells despair for Kamihama&#039;s future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102805 tasuke find.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Nayuta receives a message from her father asking to meet in front of a coffee shop. She rushes to reunite with him, but then Touka arrives and demands her uncle return for an important meeting. Tasuke decides to go voluntarily, revealing he found documents proving his brother actually believes him. Nayuta pleads with him not to leave, but Touka blocks her path, reminding Nayuta she cannot transform. Unable to hurt her cousin, Nayuta lets her father go.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Before leaving, she mentions strange things happening in other towns, such as students in Yukuni know about Magical Girls and believe dangerous rumors. After Nayuta departs, Touka wonders aloud if her uncle is connected to something called &amp;quot;The Destruction.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Himena&#039;s team goes to Mitsune&#039;s hospital room and Himena celebrates that their efforts to reveal the truth about Magical Girls are progressing well. San divides everyone into units to make contact with various groups. While Lil&#039; Kyubey is talking to Kyubey, Himena interrupts them and chases after Lil&#039; Kyubey, but he escapes. Kyubey notes that Kamihama continues to change and Himena invites Kyubey to come see for themselves. That night, San approaches Shizuka, Shigure and Hagumu approach Ao, and Miyuri approaches Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the meeting, Tasuke addresses the mayor and officials. Contrary to expectations, he declares that Magical Girls are nothing more than a delusion and that he was led astray by urban legends. Touka&#039;s father is horrified, asking what this means for Nayuta and Touka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Battle Museum===&lt;br /&gt;
The placement of this event is done based on the release order of the first part of the event, which concerns Yozuru Sasame. As most of the other parts can&#039;t logically take place during their release order, all of them are grouped within this section.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Yozuru Episode:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* A rumor spreads among the Magical Girls of Kamihama City about Nemu&#039;s book. The Uwasa are said to still exist inside the book, though they lack the magic to affect the outside world. A new rumor claims that if you visit the Memory Museum inside the book, you can get back to your roots as a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Battle Museum Yozuru Sasame Episode|Battle Museum - Yozuru]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Crescent House, Yachiyo confirms she has heard the rumor. Ui reveals the Memory Museum is real and the Uwasa truly do still exist inside Nemu&#039;s book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Puella Care trailer, Livia confirms that by syncing their Soul Gem with Hiiragi Nemu, a Magical Girl can enter the Memory Museum. She warns there is risk involved, as forgotten memories are not necessarily happy ones. She agrees to help those who wish to enter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yozuru enters the Memory Museum to see for herself if it can help Magical Girls become stronger by returning to their roots. What she sees is painful: her former self, snarling and full of anger, shortly after her mother died.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the memory, a Magical Girl confronts Yozuru about her selfishness, accusing her of never giving thanks and always causing problems. Yozuru acknowledges she is weak but refuses to be chained down, recalling her mother&#039;s words that being deprived of freedom is the greatest misfortune. She dissolves the team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia appears, having heard about a weak Magical Girl with a terrible personality. She offers to recruit Yozuru as an apprentice. Yozuru refuses and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yozuru stumbles into a Witch&#039;s barrier while her legs are still paralyzed from Livia&#039;s adjustment. Unable to fight, she reflects on her weakness and realizes Livia saw through her completely. As she is about to die, Livia arrives with other Magical Girls to save her, demonstrating that friendship is a Coordinator&#039;s power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Yozuru admits her problem was not that she could not fight, but that she did not know what it meant to live strongly. Livia explains that if you cannot fight, you must figure out the best way to survive. Yozuru realizes Livia&#039;s words echo what her mother tried to teach her, but this time she is ready to accept them. She agrees to become Livia&#039;s apprentice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sudachi Episode:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia tells Sudachi that if she recalls her original resolution at the Memory Museum, she can grow as both a Magical Girl and an adjuster. Inside the book, Sudachi remembers herself right after the incident where a gunman broke into her classroom. Her classmates offered her as a sacrifice, but her wish caused everyone else to die. Afterward, she became afraid to choose anything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Battle Museum Sudachi Sawa Episode|Battle Museum - Sudachi]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the memory, Sudachi is fighting Witches because she was told it is a Magical Girl&#039;s mission. She is too weak to win and secretly hopes to die to atone. A pink Magical Girl recognizes her from the news and asks what she wished for. Sudachi runs away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Sudachi is on the verge of being killed by a Witch when Livia and her allies save her. Livia brings her to the trailer and explains she is a traveling adjuster. She recognizes Sudachi from the news and reveals that adjusters can sense when a Magical Girl wished for a curse. Livia herself made such a wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia confronts Sudachi about avoiding choices, explaining that not choosing is itself a choice. She argues that dying to atone helps no one, but living to save other Magical Girls might balance the scales. She offers Sudachi a little whiteboard to communicate and asks if she wants to become an adjuster. Sudachi agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia visits Sudachi&#039;s mother and arranges for Sudachi to live in the trailer for training. There, Sudachi meets Yozuru, Livia&#039;s other apprentice. To Livia&#039;s surprise, Yozuru can understand Sudachi through telepathy while Livia cannot. Sudachi decides to live and atone by saving others, making this her true start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kanagi Episode:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi gathers Magical Girls from the East at Mitama&#039;s shop and announces she is stepping down as the Union&#039;s Eastern leader. The girls are shocked and demand an explanation. Kanagi explains that she sided with the Neo-Magius and tried to destroy Kamihama, and while they forgave her, she was never voted into leadership. She wants to pass the mantle to the next generation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Battle Museum Kanagi Izumi Episode|Battle Museum - Kanagi]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama asks how Kanagi became leader in the first place. Kanagi agrees to share what she saw at the Memory Museum.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the memory, a newly contracted Kanagi discovers the West hates the East for no reason. She finds comfort in protecting her side of town. However, she also discovers that Eastern Magical Girls fight each other over territory instead of uniting. She tries to convince them to cooperate but is repeatedly rejected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The turning point comes when Eastern Magical Girls severely wound a Western girl. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive to negotiate. When no one steps forward to represent the East, Kanagi declares she will become their leader. Despite her inexperience, she negotiates with Yachiyo and agrees to discuss terms later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As leader, Kanagi faces harassment from veteran girls who provoke the West. She abandons diplomacy and uses force to dominate, leaving no room for the West to take advantage. She becomes recognized as the leader, but the Eastern girls feel she is overprotective and meddling. Kanagi accepts this, believing she can still keep them safe even if they do not understand her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, the girls are moved by her story but unanimously point at her when asked who should succeed her. They argue she is not scary, just awkward, and that she is doing her best to change. Kanagi agrees to keep her position for now, noting that someday the next generation will have to take over.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Ren Episode:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Memory Museum, Ren sees a nostalgic sight: her first attempt to end her life. As she fell from a height, she felt fear and made her wish: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want to die.&amp;quot; After becoming a Magical Girl, she learned that Witches cause people to hurt each other. She resolved to defeat all Witches and create a kind world. But she soon realized eliminating Witches would not remove malice from people&#039;s hearts, and she despaired, attempting suicide a second time. Rika saved her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Battle Museum Ren Isuzu Episode|Battle Museum - Ren]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Ren&#039;s class is assigned a career survey. She realizes she has never had a dream to follow. She recalls her ideal of defeating all Witches but knows it never came to pass. She still wants to live, thanks to Rika, but is unsure of her future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ren visits Emiri&#039;s Counseling Room and laughs with her friends. She reflects that she now has cherished friends and a place she belongs, all reasons to live. But she still wonders why she wanted to live back when she had nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Ren sees a news report about rising suicide rates among students. She realizes that if she had succeeded, she would be just another statistic. She wonders if that thought is arrogant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, unable to sleep, Ren calls Rika just to hear her voice. Rika keeps her company until she falls asleep. In a dream, Ren sees a world where she died and nothing changed, but she also sees kindness she had not noticed before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* She wakes understanding that Rika taught her kindness, which allowed her to see kindness from others. When she wished not to die, she was hoping the world was not as cold as she knew it. She just wanted a simple, gentle ordinary life. Now she wants to share that kindness with others who are in despair. She tells Rika her future path: to help people who feel pain over being alive. Rika supports her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Nanaka Episode:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Memory Museum, Nanaka recalls her encounter with Kyubey and how becoming a Magical Girl altered her destiny. The Kashin-style school of flower arrangement, preserved by her family for generations, was usurped by senior disciples after her father fell ill. Her bedridden father drilled into her: &amp;quot;Take back the school.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Battle Museum Nanaka Tokiwa Episode|Battle Museum - Nanaka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the memory, Nanaka summons Sasao, the most diligent of her father&#039;s disciples, who nevertheless joined the betrayal. Nanaka reveals she now possesses power from her contract and has confirmed her physical abilities surpass human limits. She asks Sasao why she betrayed the family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sasao explains that Tanito, the most senior disciple, led the betrayal. Many opposed him at first, but one by one they switched sides until Sasao was isolated. Tanito made threats, and Sasao eventually gave in out of fear. Nanaka thanks her and resolves to confront Tanito.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka confronts Tanito but finds him unresponsive, barely capable of conversation. She suspects he is under a Witch&#039;s Kiss and that the true enemy is the Witch behind him. However, this assumption proves flawed. It took time and many allies to uncover that the real culprit was hiding behind the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka also realizes Kyubey is her enemy. That moment marked the true beginning of her revenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Nanaka gathers Akira, Kako, and Meiyui in a hotel room. She asks for their help with an acquaintance in trouble. Meiyui suspects it involves Nanaka&#039;s lucrative but shady side business. Nanaka insists it is a respectable act of helping someone in need and asks them to act with compassion. They agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===San Wants to Be Honest===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at a campground in Kamihama City, San announces a two-day, one-night military-style boot camp to strengthen Neo-Magius unity, immediately opening fire on the leaders for their lax attitudes. Despite Himena&#039;s protests, San runs them through intense mock battles and formation drills. During a break, San answers her phone in a noticeably cutesy voice, speaking to her youth group—Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu overhear and are delighted by the gap between Instructor San and Youth Group San, much to San&#039;s mortification. Training resumes with increased intensity through the day. That night, Alexandra and Mitsune find San alone and ask for self-training recommendations. Impressed by her kindness, they thank her, and San decides to apologize tomorrow for her earlier embarrassment-driven harshness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kagurasan&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - San Kagura Wants to Be Honest|San Kagura Wants to Be Honest]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, San tries to apologize but cannot get the words out due to embarrassment. Himena teases her about her phone voice, so San abandons the apology and orders a mock battle where she easily defeats all three at once. Later, alone at a restaurant, San struggles with her feelings until Mitsune and Alexandra find her and reassure her it is okay to be cool, strict, kind, and childish all at once. Suddenly, Himena sends a group message challenging San to compete, with Shigure and Hagumu seemingly quitting. San fires up and leaves to teach them one more lesson.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kagurasan&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, everyone gathers at Miyuri&#039;s campground. Himena sets the rules for a mock battle: if San wins, she can ask one thing. The group coordinates attacks and uses underhanded tactics, showing their growth. After San breaks their glass balls, Himena reveals their real goal: they knew San had something to say since yesterday, so they started this fight so she could say it afterward. San finally apologizes for taking out her embarrassment on them. Himena apologizes too and admits she likes San being a cute little sister type. San offers to treat everyone at the convenience store as a reward. As they eat, everyone thanks her, and San promises to treat them again after the next boot camp. Himena then asks when the next youth group meeting is, wanting to see the kids San acts cute around—San blushes as everyone gets curious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kagurasan&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Miyuri on Practice!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Miyuri nervously calls Rui for advice about an upcoming doujin convention, admitting she gets anxious on the phone. Rui happily agrees to accompany her, excited that someone younger is relying on her. When Miyuri mentions her favorite cosplayer Biinasu will be there and launches into detailed appreciation of her legs, Rui gently advises her to be mindful in public.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;practice&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Miyuri Yukari on Practice!|Miyuri Yukari on Practice!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
**Later at the Neo-Magius storeroom, Himena notices Miyuri&#039;s convention checklist. When Miyuri enthusiastically explains she buys works featuring legs, Himena teases her about her about it. Miyuri proudly admits it and begins commenting on everyone&#039;s legs, recommending Shigure wear a garter belt and high socks. Shigure, frozen in fear, calls her gross. Miyuri notices San has arrived, realizes she went too far, and runs out crying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;practice&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
**Miyuri calls Rui in despair, saying her life is over because everyone discovered her preference. Rui awkwardly suggests training to get stronger. Miyuri latches onto this idea and embarks on increasingly desperate training methods: attending an idol concert to view legs, avoiding looking at legs entirely, attempting waterfall training, and climbing a mountain alone where she gets lost. Throughout, she has flashbacks to her childhood, watching a girl skate and feeling fascinated by her legs in motion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;practice&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
**As evening falls, Hagumu and Shigure find her. When Shigure briefly leaves, Miyuri assumes she is being avoided and runs away again, deciding she must stop liking legs, toss her books, and apologize. Rui receives a call where Miyuri says she is giving up everything and this may be the last time they speak. Rui fears she might be planning something worse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;practice&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Miyuri visits Mitsune in the hospital to apologize for not investigating the convention as requested, then stands outside ready to toss her books. Rui uses her eye to check Miyuri&#039;s fate and, sensing something wrong, finds her at Satomi Medical Center. She explains that throwing away what you love leads to regret and offers to help Miyuri learn self-control instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;practice&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
**They go to a shopping district to identify what triggers Miyuri. There they encounter Nemu and Sakurako. Miyuri telepathically asks Nemu not to reveal anything about magical girls. When Nemu notices Miyuri looks pale and asks what is wrong, Miyuri explains her struggle. Through conversation, Miyuri rediscovers her childhood memory: watching a girl skate, fascinated by her legs in motion. This was the origin of her obsession, born from her own identity as an athlete who valued legs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;practice&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
**Nemu explains that childhood passions shape who we are. Rui shares her own experience of regretting throwing away her work and believes Miyuri&#039;s friends will accept her. Miyuri realizes her leg preference stems from her identity as an athlete and decides she can be proud of it while keeping it appropriate. She thanks everyone and returns to Neo-Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;practice&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
**Miyuri apologizes for ignoring everyone. Shigure apologizes for calling her gross and reveals she transferred Miyuri&#039;s checklist onto a detailed spreadsheet and bought the garter belt and high socks Miyuri wanted to see her wear. Miyuri explains she discovered her preference started with inline skating and will restrain herself but not stop loving what she loves. Himena says they all love Miyuri as she is and welcomes her back. When Miyuri immediately dives for San&#039;s legs, San tells her to restrain herself and suggests Shigure put on the outfit first. Miyuri eagerly agrees as Shigure panics. Himena notes Miyuri has not really changed, and Miyuri declares next she will have Himena wear fishnet tights, giggling like a madwoman.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;practice&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chapter 8===&lt;br /&gt;
The story of Chapter 8 is given to Kagome through second-hand sources, and it&#039;s relayed in a non-linear narrative. Because of this, parts of the story have been reorganized and consolidated in such a way that the flow of the information would be easiest to understand. As each branch&#039;s length is different, it is impossible to discern whether any of them happen in different days when they&#039;re on separate branches. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Prologue:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kagome&#039;s hospitalization, Urara visits and announces her departure from Promised Blood, stating her true allegiance was to the group Folklore of Zero. She explains that her actions to protect others would not alter the future her group foresaw, which was dependent on whether the existence of Magical Girls became public knowledge. Livia arrives and offers for Puella Care to assist Kagome with her chronicling duties as an apology for her injury, which Kagome gratefully accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Urara wakes in a Futatsugi hospital, reflecting on her failure to protect Sakuya and the revelation that Yuna knew she was a spy all along. After being visited by Lavi, who urges her to draw her own line with Promised Blood before leaving, Urara is discharged and attempts to depart quietly but is pulled into faction disputes. Yuna privately releases her from any further obligation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tourara&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story A Secret Farewell Party to Urara|A Secret Farewell Party to Urara]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, at Crescent House, Lil&#039; Kyubey attempts to communicate a warning to Iroha and the others. Through a series of questions, Yachiyo deduces the warning was related to the Automatic Purification System, but the specific details of the threat remain unclear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Neo-Magius &amp;amp; Folklore of Zero Branches:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Lavi and Alexandra discuss the current situation, as Alexandra could not telepathically communicate with Asahi as she was still unconscious. The Kamihama Magia Union has acquired all eight Kimochi Stones, and the Automatic Purification System is poised for activation. Alexandra resolves to confront Himena to convince her to stop fighting, believing hope from the Tokime Clan could change her mind. Livia arrives, acting as a substitute chronicler for the injured Kagome.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia recounts an argument between Tasuke and his brother, Touka&#039;s father. Tasuke&#039;s brother has invested in a political career to find a way to save Magical Girls, but Tasuke now insists that publicly revealing Magical Girls is a fatal mistake that will only lead to their destruction. He claims the only option is to prolong their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tasuke later meets with Touka and Nemu. They reveal they know his hypothesis but refuse to accept resignation. Driven by their genius and curiosity, they intend to overcome the &amp;quot;insurmountable wall&amp;quot; of destruction, and Tasuke vows to stop them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta waits anxiously for her father, and Lavi and Livia are present when Tasuke arrives. He explains his long absence: his research led him to a horrifying hypothesis that if the existence of Magical Girls becomes public knowledge, it will cause widespread despair and lead to their ruin. He hid this truth to protect Nayuta from giving up hope. He reveals the current conflict in Kamihama is an unintended experiment to test this hypothesis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi confirms she has been working with Tasuke all along to monitor the situation and ensure Nayuta&#039;s safety. Nayuta is devastated, feeling her entire friendship with Lavi was a lie. The emotional shock causes her to faint and release her Doppel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Nayuta recovers, Tasuke and Lavi leave her a choice. They invite her to join Folklore of Zero in Yukuni to observe the hypothesis&#039; verification from the sidelines, or to stay home and watch the outcome without interference. They apologize for their deception but affirm their genuine care for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta decides to go with them, however as they prepare to leave, they receive a message from Touka. She announces that she and Nemu have finalized a plan to reveal Magical Girls to the world using the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura and invite everyone to watch. Tasuke realizes he must postpone their departure to witness this final, critical event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Himena and San, Miyuri, Hagumu, and Shigure bond over their shared emotional wounds and their desire to change. They believe their collective effort to spread Magical Girl Supremacy is their greatest strength. The group&#039;s covert operations progress favorably. They successfully manipulate the Tokime Clan&#039;s Head Family and recruit Ao Kasane from Promised Blood. Alexandra reveals she has located the operational radio telescope in Hokuyo Ward, which they plan to use to broadcast Himena&#039;s voice across the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Himena had previously questioned Livia about the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth, specifically its property of creating copies of those who enter. She is disappointed to learn that these copies cannot leave the Labyrinth and are difficult to control, making them unsuitable for her synthesis ability. Livia also warned Himena that the historical east-west division in Kamihama is basically a ticking timebomb.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** San pressures Himena to master her ability to synthesize with substances, not just people, as it is crucial for their strategy. Shigure informs Himena that she captured a Mirrors clone of Mitsune, hoping to use it for synthesis experiments. Himena declines, having abandoned the idea of using copies, and decides instead to synthesize her ability with the radio telescope and the unique magic of Meiyui Chun, believing this combination will allow her to &amp;quot;change all the rules.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra confronts Himena, pleading with her to abandon the plan and join forces with Iroha instead. She argues that using and manipulating so many people is wrong and that the plan could get them all killed. Himena refuses, stating her love for Hiko and her ideals are non-negotiable. Faced with an ultimatum to choose between her or the Neo-Magius, Himena chooses the latter. Alexandra leaves the group, warning Himena that the Neo-Magius&#039; plan will kill her. Himena declares she is willing to become a slaughterer for her cause, blaming the people around her for making her this way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tokime Clan Branch:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yozuru observes the Tokime in behalf of Kagome. At Suitoku Temple, Shizuka announces the clan’s decision to ally with the Kamihama Magia Union and Promised Blood. She resolves not to force the Tokime Clan&#039;s philosophy onto others, despite her personal disagreement with Yuna&#039;s methods. The injured members, Ryoko and Asahi, are in recovery. Shizuka, Sunao, and Chiharu decide to travel to the Tokime Village to research Asahi&#039;s branch family and investigate the origin of her scars.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the temple, Ryoko grapples with the guilt of killing Sakuya. A conversation with Asahi about the dignity of life gives Ryoko a new purpose: to honor Sakuya&#039;s memory and guide her soul to Nirvana by living a life without regret. Meanwhile, Asahi reveals to Chika that her scars are &amp;quot;lessons&amp;quot; that &amp;quot;predators cannot be saved,&amp;quot; but avoids further explanation. Chika senses a deep loneliness in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka, Sunao, and Chiharu return to the Tokime Village, where Shizuka collapses from exhaustion and stress, overwhelmed by the evils she witnessed outside the village. Her mother warns that her new ambition to actively lead people onto a path of righteousness, rather than support them from the shadows, will inevitably lead to more conflict. The group learns that Asahi&#039;s family, the Miura line, originated from a branch family in a village now incorporated into Yukuni.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio travels to Yukuni City. They discover the local population is aware of Magical Girls and Witches. A gang of students soon confronts them, accusing Magical Girls of attracting Witches and being evil creatures destined to become monsters themselves. They reveal they are responsible for Asahi&#039;s scars and threaten the trio with violence. Shizuka nearly attacks them in a rage over the torture of Asahi, but Sunao and Chiharu restrain her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Suitoku Temple, Asahi confesses the truth to the others. In Yukuni, public knowledge of the Magical Girl System has bred widespread fear and hostility. Magical Girls are hunted and tormented, reducing their numbers to only four. Asahi then reveals her true allegiance is to Folklore of Zero, an observation group consisting of the four remaining Magical Girls from Yukuni.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Despite this revelation, Shizuka does not cast Asahi out, trusting her deeply and considering her family. Asahi nevertheless chooses to leave the Tokime Clan to avoid causing internal discord. Before departing, she tells Shizuka that the Tokime Clan&#039;s pure pride gave her hope, but she now fears Shizuka is on the verge of being &amp;quot;engulfed by the world&#039;s evils.&amp;quot; This conversation solidifies Shizuka&#039;s resolve that she must teach people righteousness and actively fight against evil.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Alina Branch:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina and Karin journey deeper inside the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth. Alina communicates with Mikoto, who reveals she is the consciousness of the Witch Endless Mirrors. Mikoto explains she was a Magical Girl who used self-suggestion magic to cope with a miserable home life. When she began to turn into a Witch, her self-suggestion broke, flooding her with negative emotions. In that moment, she resonated with Mitama Yakumo&#039;s wish to &amp;quot;destroy Kamihama.&amp;quot; To survive, Mikoto implanted her persona and memories into another Magical Girl, Hanna Sarasa, and has since transferred between hosts like a parasite once more, reaching Alina. Gathering energy from the Witch Eve gave her the power to manifest fully.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikoto asks Alina to join her in destroying everything. In return, Alina demands her lost memories back. Mikoto complies, and Alina recalls her original artistic philosophy: humanity unconsciously desires destruction, and she intended to provide a magnificent, global masterpiece of annihilation. Alina rejects Karin&#039;s &amp;quot;Reformation Project&amp;quot; and enthusiastically embraces Mikoto&#039;s &amp;quot;Evolution Project&amp;quot; to bring about destruction. The two hide themselves deeper within the Labyrinth, leaving Karin on her own.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Union &amp;amp; Promised Blood Branches:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi observes the Kamihama Magia Union for Kagome. They&#039;re in a state of uncertainty due to a proposed alliance with Promised Blood, and a deeper issue of distrust between the Magical Girls of Kamihama&#039;s east and west districts. Magical Girls from the east, including Mito, Seika, and Reira, express their apprehension about the alliance and their distrust of the west, citing incidents of violence and social ostracization. Kanagi and Mitama acknowledge the problem and seek to understand the eastern members&#039; feelings.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Union holds a meeting where the internal discord becomes clear. Eastern and western members, as well as those from the south, voice strong opposition to the alliance with Promised Blood. Iroha and Yachiyo recognize that mending the east-west rift is a prerequisite for any successful alliance. Iroha attempts to contact Yuna to provide an explanation to the Union, but Yuna delays her response due to similar internal turmoil within Futatsugi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Touka&#039;s lab, Iroha asks what the two have been up to. Nemu reports that Sana&#039;s picture books have been selling well, but Touka&#039;s attempts to reveal information about magic in the internet have failed to gain any traction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo, Mifuyu, Mikage, and Sudachi visit an elderly shopkeeper in the west. The shopkeeper shares a local legend about the historical figures Tsuyu Mizuna and Chizuru, who led a rebellion but later parted ways, causing the people to split into the eastern and western factions. This legend is presented as a possible ancient origin of the city&#039;s divide. During this visit, a child from the west who previously assaulted Mikage apologizes, and Mikage forgives him, demonstrating a potential for reconciliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha, Yachiyo, and others investigate the archives of the Ryushin Dojo, searching for historical documents on Tsuyu and Chizuru. They find only a single document that confirms the historical conflict but provides no reason for the schism.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Around this time, Karin returns from being missing within the Endless Mirrors to Kanagi&#039;s workplace. Kanagi tells them of everyone&#039;s location and Karin rushes to go to the dojo herself. There, she reveals that the Witch of the Endless Mirrors was a Magical Girl named Mikoto Sena, who possessed Alina. Alina, now with her memories restored, remains missing within the Mirrors. Yachiyo recalls being told that Mitama theorized that the identity of Endless Mirrors was a Magical Girl named Mikoto.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Kanagi works at her maid cafe, Momoko visits her to relay information from Karin. Concurrently, Mikage delivers the same news to Mitama, who is deeply troubled, as the date Sena Mikoto became a Witch coincides with the day she made her own wish to destroy Kamihama. Later that night, she confesses this to Kanagi, believing her wish is an inescapable curse that will inevitably be fulfilled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 8: Final Trigger|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 8: Final Trigger]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Around the same time, Kanagi and Mitama are separately approached by the Neo-Magius members San and Miyuri. They are invited to a meeting. Ao also receives an invitation and encourages Kanagi to attend. Kanagi agrees, reasoning that Mitama will likely join the group regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Union holds a full assembly and Yachiyo addresses the group, advocating for reconciliation between east and west to ensure their collective survival. She uses the example of Mikage&#039;s forgiveness as a model for moving forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna arrives and deliberately provokes the assembly by openly stating her enduring hatred for Kamihama and detailing her past strategies to divide them. This inflammatory speech causes an uproar and nearly sparks a battle, which Yachiyo and Mifuyu manage to subdue. Yuna then clarifies that her actions were a calculated performance to unite the Union against a common enemy—herself—thus bypassing their internal suspicions. She formally declares that Promised Blood will ally only with Iroha personally, not the entire Union, and reveals she has already given her Kimochi Stone to Kanagi as an apology.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** This resolution, though unorthodox, is accepted and allows the cooperative framework to proceed. Later, Kanagi and Mitama travel together to a meeting with the Neo-Magius. Kanagi expresses her own growing despair over the entrenched East-West conflict in Kamihama, citing the recent incident where a child threw a rock at Mikage. Later at a cafe, Mitama and Kanagi meet San, Miyuri, Shizuka, and Ao. San outlines the Neo-Magius&#039; goal of Magical Girl supremacy, which would position them as gods above humanity. Himena then also reveals herself to be alive, and explains her plan to achieve supremacy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac8&#039;/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi attempts to read Himena&#039;s mind but is blocked by the presence of Hiko in her consciousness, confirming Himena is not insane but calculating. Impressed by the group&#039;s resolve and seeing a path to her own goals, Kanagi agrees to join. The four new members—Kanagi, Mitama, Shizuka, and Ao—declare their allegiance to the Neo-Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, Kanagi gets a call from her father and learns that her younger brother, Sougetsu was severely beaten by a group of men from a western-affiliated organization that had previously sabotaged the eastern candidate in the mayoral election. The police show a suspicious lack of interest in the case.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac8&#039;/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
** Ranka also meets up with Momoko&#039;s team in the arcade and makes amends. She reveals she intends to show Yuna the places Sakuya frequented soon. In the aftermath, Iroha and Ui begin preparations to move out of their secret bunker and back to Mikazuki Villa, though they cannot find Lil&#039; Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following Yuna’s decision to ally with the Kamihama Magia Union, the members of Ryuugasaki, led by Juri, strongly oppose the alliance. Juri, bored and lacking motivation without a fight, decides to reignite conflict by proposing a civil war between Ryuugasaki and Yuna’s faction, Torayamachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, attempting to manage her student council duties, learns of the skirmish. She recognizes the deep divisions within Futatsugi and her own role in fostering them. When Iroha contacts her for an explanation to give the Union, Yuna delays her response, prioritizing the internal crisis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna calls a meeting with the leaders of Futatsugi’s districts: Juri of Ryuugasaki and Ao of Janomiya. The meeting fails to reach a consensus, with Ryuugasaki members vehemently against trusting Kamihama. Juri proposes a representative match: if she wins, the war continues; if Yuna wins, it ends. Yuna reluctantly agrees to the fight in a desperate attempt to unify the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the sisters prepare to battle the following day, Ao plots to kill them both in their weakened state to seize power for herself. In the arcade, Ranka overhears Ao’s plan and is alarmed by her increasingly extreme and dangerous mindset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Heading to Kamihama, Urara accidentally stops at Sakuya&#039;s former school and witnesses her juniors&#039; victory, overhearing how deeply Sakuya impacted others. Meeting with Lavi&#039;s group, she remains uncertain about drawing her line until she hears news of a duel between Yuna and Juri over Promised Blood&#039;s alliance. She decides to return to Futatsugi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tourara&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile in Kamihama, Kanagi learns that her workplace, the maid cafe, has been receiving threats not to employ anyone from Daito Ward, and that another cafe was forced to close due to such attacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** This series of events become Kanagi&#039;s final breaking point. She tracks down and violently assaults the members of the organization responsible, leaving many in critical condition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, in the aftermath, Kanagi confronts her Doppel, which represents her inner self. It convinces her that she has crossed a point of no return and that true equality for Kamihama can only be achieved through total destruction. Kanagi fully accepts this path, resolving to become a true villain to break the city&#039;s cycle of conflict, even if it means hurting those she loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The police investigate the brutal attack on the saboteur group&#039;s base, with the only lead being insufficient to track Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the catacombs, the fight between Yuna and Juri escalates. Yuna pleads her case to the onlookers, explaining that she still holds a grudge against Kamihama but trusts Iroha’s goal to save all Magical Girls. Just as Ao moves to attack the exhausted sisters, Iroha arrives unexpectedly at the Futatsugi catacombs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha explains she came to pay her respects to the Magical Girls who died in the Bloody Tragedy. She formally apologizes for the Magius’ actions and asks for forgiveness, promising to carry the souls of Futatsugi’s lost girls with her into a future where all Magical Girls can be saved. Her sincere words move the members of Promised Blood and effectively resolve the immediate conflict.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Iroha departs, Ranka informs Yuna and Juri of Ao’s murderous intent. They confront Ao, who admits she would betray them if she felt they could no longer protect her. The group decides to monitor Ao closely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha&#039;s visit makes Urara realize her lingering regret is for Sakuya and remembers her request: if anything happened, Urara should take one of her certificates from Yuna&#039;s house as a memento. She decides this is her line to draw.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tourara&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She spends the rest of the day visiting places filled with memories, then arrives at Yuna&#039;s house to discover the group has been secretly planning a farewell party. They drag her shopping, and when word accidentally spreads, nearly all of Promised Blood arrives to help and insists on attending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tourara&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* After school, Yuna cannot locate Juri and fears she has gone to attack Janomiya. She eventually finds Juri at their old base, about to shatter her own Soul Gem. Juri reveals she believes her violent nature is a threat to the new, peaceful era and that Futatsugi would be better off without her. Yuna convinces her to live by giving her a new purpose: to help save Ao.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri visit the graves of Ryo and Ikumi, where Hinano is also present. She states she does not mourn them but thanks them, as their deaths proved the Union also suffered loss, which helped convince her faction to ally. Hinano takes offense at this, and Yuna promises the Union her support, though she clarifies she cannot fully bear the weight of their deaths. Yuna makes Juri promise not to die until they save Ao.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The farewell party for Urara begins. After performing a juggling act, Urara finally reveals her true purpose: she came for Sakuya&#039;s memento. Inside a certificate tube, she finds a letter Sakuya left, expressing worry that Urara might leave quietly and hope that she would instead connect with Yuna and the others, assuring her that her place was with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tourara&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Moved, Urara receives a farewell board signed by everyone and departs on good terms. Back with Folklore of Zero, Lavi praises her for drawing her line. Urara admits she still wants to believe magical girls can be saved, despite knowing the fate that awaits them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tourara&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====The Inheritors of Our Souls====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Bg adv 24015.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome wakes in the hospital and learns she is being discharged today. A pencil mascot of Aru speaks to her for the first time, explaining she wants to investigate Jeanne d&#039;Arc together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;inh&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Inheritors of Our Souls|The Inheritors of Our Souls]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome meets Torte inside her own mind. She introduces herself as a girl from 15th-century France who entered Kagome&#039;s consciousness through a place called the Ark of Feelings. She wants to learn how Jeanne d&#039;Arc is remembered in the future. Kagome goes to the library but finds no books about Jeanne d&#039;Arc. She visits Crescent House to greet the members of Mikazuki and while Iroha, Yachiyo and Ui remember Jeanne&#039;s name, Felicia and the others do not. The sky suddenly turns pitch black, a purple moon appears, and even the network goes down. Kagome is pulled into the Ark of Feelings.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;inh&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the Ark, Kagome meets with Torte, Pernelle, Nicholas, many of Darc&#039;s allies and even Darc herself. After facing the still-Magical Girl version of Isabeau, made possible through an offshoot Mirror Witch Labyrinth that connected to Isabeau around 1400. Torte makes a contract with Cube to preserve Darc&#039;s legacy. A new pen appears, which she delivers to Kagome’s past self through a dream. She destroys the mirror, ending the time paradox, but sends the pen to Kagome through her wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;inh&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present day, Kagome wakes in the hospital again. The nurse tells her she is being discharged today. She has no memory of the journey. She goes to the library and researching Jeanne d&#039;Arc, she reads that after Jeanne&#039;s death, France indeed won victory after victory against England.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;inh&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Kagome visits Crescent House and notices her interview records have increased. They contain names of Magical Girls she does not know: Pernelle, Melissa, Elisa, Liz, and Jeanne d&#039;Arc. The handwriting is hers and her mechanical pencil has an Aru charm, which makes Kagome confused, as she has no memory of buying it. Kagome reads the records alone, which tell the story of her journey. She cannot fully believe it, but she feels the feelings written there are real. Sana suggests she give her collection of Magical Girl interviews a name, and Kagome decides to name it Magia Record.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;inh&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Part 7==&lt;br /&gt;
Part 7 encompasses part of [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 8: Flowers Sprouting from the Remains of Dreams|Chapter 8]], all the way to the end of [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 12: Tying The Eternal Coloring|Chapter 12]], including the epilogue of Arc 2.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;First Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the gathering arrives. Yachiyo notes it is unusual for Lil&#039; Kyubey to be missing for multiple days. As the groups prepare to unite the eight Kimochi Stones, Momoko calls with troubling news that Mitama and Kanagi have disappeared. Similar disappearances are reported across all factions, with Shizuka, Ao, and other lower-rank members also missing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102909 stone gather.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At Seaside Park in Minaminagi, the remaining members of the Kamihama Magia Union, Tokime Clan, and Promised Blood gather. Despite the absences, they proceed with their plan with the five present Kimochi. Iroha calls upon the Kimochi to entrust her with their Stones, but as she receives them, the Kimochi suddenly go berserk and attack, specifically targeting Ui. Ui senses the Kimochi are in pain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Before the situation becomes dire, Kanagi, Mitama, Ao, and Shizuka arrive and subdue the rampaging Kimochi. Ui senses something wrong with Kamihama City, even stopping Hinano from using her Doppel against the Kimochi. After their defeat, Kyubey appears and reveals he has been inside the Automatic Purification System&#039;s core, gradually taking control. He now controls the system&#039;s force field and can turn the Doppel phenomenon on and off at will. It also reveals Lil&#039; Kyubey had been interfering, and as Lil&#039; Kyubey returns to Iroha, he says he&#039;ll keep observing him. Kyubey explains Ui is the only one who can reclaim the system, as she is the origin of Eve and can control the Purification System and the Kimochi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102909 neomagus3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* With this knowledge, the group realizes they still have all eight Kimochi Stones present and Ui can use them to enter the system. However, Kanagi, Mitama, Ao, and Shizuka reveal they have formed a new alliance with the Neo-Magius. The main five members of the Neo-Magius appear, with Himena revealing she&#039;d faked her death, and declare their goal for Magical Girl Supremacy, aiming to rule over humans while maintaining equality among Magical Girls. They have tree of the eight Kimochi Stones, with Mitama also claiming the Garnet Pinky while Iroha holds the other four.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102909 iroha mikage3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama reveals her wish was always for Kamihama&#039;s destruction, and she no longer sees reason to hold back despite seeing Mikage&#039;s wish while coordinating her. Kanagi believes becoming a common enemy will unite the city&#039;s people. Ao admits she never truly believed she could escape being exploited and decided to rule instead. Shizuka argues that guiding humans away from evil requires Diviners to rule over them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The remaining Magical Girls are horrified and Chiharu and Sunao refuse to follow Shizuka&#039;s path. Mikage vows to bring Mitama back. The groups realize the Neo-Magius intends to prove Magical Girl superiority by driving humans into a corner, potentially repeating the Wings of the Magius&#039; actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that evening, at the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura in Hokuyo Ward, Kagome arrives to find Touka, Nemu, the four Folklore of Zero members, Nayuta, and Tasuke. Touka and Nemu announce they will use their lives to spread the truth about Magical Girls. They send a message to Ui, explaining their plan requires her, Kagome, and Iroha to live on until the promised time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102909 toka nemu2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* With Sakurako&#039;s guidance, Touka and Nemu assume their positions, transform and their bracelets, punishment for their past sins, explode. They&#039;re sent to the hospital, where Touka&#039;s father screams in grief upon seeing them. At Crescent House, Sakurako confirms to Ui that the two are still alive but refuses to reveal their location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Second Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Suitoku Temple, Iroha&#039;s redistributed her Kimochi Stones to her allies. She keeps Sapphire Lips for herself, gives Aquamarine Heel to Yuna, Opal Head to Juri, and Diamond Hair to Chiharu. They&#039;ve realized that as long as the Kimochi are in their bracelet forms, Kyubey can&#039;t rile them up, so they should be careful when passing them to others. However it also appears that the Kimochi aren&#039;t limited to the twelve select girls anymore either.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 9: The Labyrinth of Light|Arc 2, Chapter 9: The Labyrinth of Light]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna announces she will return to Futatsugi for the holiday to handle school and money matters. She learns Ao has gone back there too and orders reserves to watch her. Chiharu and Sunao discuss contacting Shizuka, who read their message but did not reply. Sunao mentions the picture book Sana drew for her and Sana confirms she made it to offer Shizuka a new perspective on good and evil.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Neo-Magius members meet separately. Himena confirms they still plan to use the radio telescope to tell all of Kamihama about Magical Girls, but too many enemies nearby prevent them from acting right away. San understands the delay, and Himena feels excited because Promised Blood now faces money troubles that force them back to Futatsugi, giving Neo-Magius a perfect chance to weaken them further. Hagumu worries that the telescope has security set by Touka in the past, so any early warning could let the other side strike first. Shigure thinks going public already might have been a mistake if they cannot move quickly, but Himena insists that Neo-Magius will attack first. Miyuri cheers the progress toward earning respect for Magical Girls and turning San into a god, but San quickly stops her because Shigure and Hagumu only know about revealing Magical Girls to the public, not the harsher steps Himena now plans. Shizuka privately decides the plan makes sense even if it causes damage, since she views Kamihama as full of evil under a bad leader; she believes they must destroy that evil first to set the stage for the Tokime Clan to guide everyone toward goodness, and she even considers overthrowing Himena early to make her own clan the saviors. Himena keeps sending messages to Alexandra that go unread, begging her to reply.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Third Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Shigure and Hagumu live their daily lives, Shigure messages Hagumu with worry about making people believe the telescope broadcast, and Hagumu realizes she knows no details either. Miyuri asks San if they really must hide the full telescope plan from Hagumu and Shigure. San admits it feels hard but explains the group&#039;s plans have shifted to forcing supremacy through extreme actions that would drive Hagumu and Shigure away if they learned the truth. Miyuri wonders if San truly accepts how this could ruin her ties to her village and youth association, but San replies she came prepared for those relationships to change and plans to become a benevolent god who protects people even if Himena turns into a destructive one. She blames Himena’s sudden harsh turn on terror over losing Alexandra, the only person besides the deceased Hiko who truly cared for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta, Tasuke, Lavi, Asahi, Alexandra, and Urara arrive in Yukuni City. Nayuta reflects on the apparent deaths of Touka and Nemu, uncertain if their plan to reveal Magical Girls will lead to salvation or more misfortune.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Upon arriving in Yukuni, Lavi warns the group to be cautious, as the city&#039;s students are hostile toward Magical Girls. Their fears are confirmed when Nayuta is suddenly kidnapped by a student group called the Eradication Faction, led by Kurara, Urara&#039;s former partner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During Nayuta&#039;s captivity, Kurara and the other students confront Nayuta. They accuse Lavi and her friends of causing numerous deaths and mental breakdowns among the student body in the past. They claim that after the Magical Girls left, the city became peaceful, and they view their return with Nayuta as a sign of renewed danger.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Nayuta&#039;s rescue, Lavi and the others rescue Nayuta and retreat to a guesthouse, which is revealed to be Lavi&#039;s family home. Tasuke explains that he previously used this location as a base to write his book and research Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta learns the full story of what happened in Yukuni. Lavi, Asahi, and Alexandra attempted to reveal the existence of Magical Girls to gain understanding and comfort for their tragic fate. Initially successful, their actions soon led to a chain of misfortunes, including student deaths from a Witch, a separate accident, and an avalanche. The public turned on them, blaming every disaster on the Magical Girls. Despite Tasuke&#039;s efforts to help them regain trust, the situation deteriorated. The Magical Girls that remained alive were driven out of the city after an incident where they &amp;quot;destroyed everyone&#039;s spirits.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At her home, Tsukasa is frustrated that her father has confined her since learning about her relationship with Tsukuyo. She decides she has waited long enough to act and Tsukuyo messages her about Promised Blood heading home to Futatsugi for the holiday, urging her to help the Union now. Take visits and shares that their boss wants to wait for things to calm down before letting Tsukasa out freely. Tsukasa thanks him and promises his favorite dinner as repayment. She reflects that Touka and Nemu always pushed harsh methods yet genuinely risked their lives for Magical Girl liberation, while she and Tsukuyo have only leaned on others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Nayuta discusses the events with her father. Tasuke reveals his hypothesis that the universe itself may have a &amp;quot;will&amp;quot; or an &amp;quot;immune system&amp;quot; that actively works to suppress the truth about Magical Girls to protect the energy cycle they fuel. He theorizes that the misfortune in Yukuni and the current conflict in Kamihama are manifestations of this cosmic self-cleansing, a force that eliminates threats to the system. He sent Lavi&#039;s group to observe Kamihama to test this theory, fearing that revealing Magical Girls will only lead to despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Ui visit the hospital hoping to see Touka and Nemu, but staff allow no visitors. Mifuyu explains that the bracelets were meant to kill them on activation, yet they survived because their Soul Gems stayed intact. Ui asks if they will recover, and Iroha hopes so but admits confusion over why they stay unconscious. Mifuyu decides to store their Soul Gems in Touka’s secure private room for regular purification since distance would mean their bodies would die and worsen their condition. She asks Iroha and Ui to check on them sometimes because her own Endless Mirrors investigation and other duties might keep her away. They spot an old instruction manual Touka wrote to help Nemu manage her web novels and sales which reminds Iroha of Sana’s new picture book for Shizuka, and she suggests using the app’s gift feature to send it digitally so Shizuka might actually read it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After learning the truth about Yukuni City, Nayuta reflects on Tasuke&#039;s hypothesis that a cosmic &amp;quot;will of the universe&amp;quot; actively suppresses the revelation of Magical Girls. She remains unsatisfied with this conclusion, suspecting her father may have become disheartened by past failures. Lavi&#039;s mother expresses gratitude to Nayuta and Tasuke for providing Lavi a safe home away from the bullying she endured in Yukuni.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 9: Invisible yet Indelible|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 9: Invisible yet Indelible]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta volunteers to run an errand in town, secretly hoping to confront the hostile Eradication Faction. Lavi and the others initially refuse, citing the danger, but relent and accompany her when Nayuta sneaks out on her own.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they walk, the Folklore members explain their shared goal. They came to Kamihama to test Tasuke&#039;s hypothesis, acting as observers infiltrated into various factions to see if attempts to reveal Magical Girls would be thwarted by cosmic forces, as they were in Yukuni. They describe themselves as connected by their shared &amp;quot;resignation.&amp;quot; Lavi tells Nayuta that if she wishes to be part of their group, Folklore of Zero, she must also give up her hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko, Kaede, Rena, and Ranka work to calm Karin after she panics over Endless Mirrors. Juri shows up, and Ranka explains she was worried about Karin and physically stopped her from rushing alone into Mirrors to rescue Alina. The group heads to the arcade to let off steam, while Momoko goes to check the East for more defections after Kanagi left, though luckily, warnings in advance kept most girls from following.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s Shop, Mikage talks quietly with Sudachi and vows to bring Mitama home, even if they end up fighting and Mikage struggles to forgive her. Sudachi uses telepathy to confess she had killed several classmates with her wish to prove Mikage’s heart can stay kind no matter what. Mikage refuses to hate her and promises to help her remain gentle, which convinces Mikage she will never truly hate Mitama either. Separately, Himena receives a reply at last and happily tells San they can arrange a polite pickup, ready to find out if it is genuine.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In Yukuni, the group is confronted by Kurara and the Eradication Faction. Nayuta tries to argue that Magical Girls are not malicious, but Lavi intervenes and withdraws. To make Nayuta understand their resignation, Lavi and the others take her on a tour of the sites of past tragedies in Yukuni: the location of the initial fatal explosion, the parking lot where their magic went wild and destroyed the minds of students during a reconciliation attempt, and the site of the bus accident that Urara survived but which fueled further hatred.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After hearing these stories and witnessing the group still dutifully fight Witches despite their trauma, Nayuta is heartbroken but remains resolved. She tells Lavi she cannot give up her hope, as she wants a future where the Folklore members can be saved and be happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103001 tsukasa cooking.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukasa cooks Take’s favorite meat and potatoes dish, tricks him into leaving with a phone call from their boss, and slips out alone. She meets Himena in secret, confirms Promised Blood leaves for Futatsugi tomorrow, and explains she will join Neo-Magius to become feared villains who rewrite Kamihama history—only then will the city drive her and Tsukuyo out and free them from old ties. Himena welcomes her, promising Magical Girls cannot be expelled and can choose to stay or leave freely. Shizuka also receives the gifted picture book from Sunao and wonders what Sunao means by it, ready to treat any joke harshly as clan leader.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fifth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* After talking with Rii at home, Kagome visits the Coordinators to ask about Neo-Magius activities, since no one detects their magical signatures in Kamihama. Livia knows nothing, but Himena suddenly arrives for a power-up adjustment. She chooses Livia over Mitama to avoid risks if Mitama peers inside her mind and discovers the plan. After performing the adjustment, Livia tells Kagome that she will no longer remain neutral, as the plan she saw would bring the future Lavi feared. With no other leads on the Neo-Magius, Kagome decided to check on the Tokime Clan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Neo-Magius gathers, including Kanagi, Mitama, and Shizuka. Himena reassures them she avoids harming Magical Girls unnecessarily and focuses on supremacy to save everyone. Kanagi and Mitama target Kamihama&#039;s history and people instead, while Shizuka aims to purge the city&#039;s evil. San reminds them conflict remains inevitable with Union and others. They plan to act during the break when Promised Blood stays away, and Kanagi offers to lure Union members out so Himena&#039;s group can infiltrate Crescent House undetected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Crescent House, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Felicia puzzle over the Neo-Magius&#039; intentions. They dismiss the civic center base and consider the radio telescope tied to old Magius operations, but find no activity there. Kanagi messages Yachiyo offering intel on the Neo-Magius&#039; plans but warns of sharp opponents and suggests preparing contingencies with a public meeting spot. The group suspects a trap given Kanagi&#039;s earlier resolve, yet decides to go with Momoko&#039;s team while Iroha, Sana, and Ui follow as backup.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, Yuna manages Promised Blood logistics amid family limits and financial strains. Hikaru reports steady watch on Ao with no issues and Yuna receives Kanagi&#039;s message through the Union. She views it suspiciously as a lure, but recognizes the Neo-Magius movement requires heightened alert.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Suitoku Temple, Iroha and Sana ask Sunao about sending Sana&#039;s picture book to Shizuka; Sunao confirms its delivery and read status but no reply. Sana doubts its impact as an amateur work, but Sunao insists it could help if shared in person. Sunao summarizes the story: a timid turtle learns kindness makes her valuable, ignores a trapped tiger&#039;s pleas as a villain, yet a white bird rescues the repentant tiger, revealing the turtle had judged wrongly. Sana explains the turtle represents her, the tiger Yuna, and the bird Iroha, inspired by Iroha&#039;s words that all fight to be saved despite differences; she hopes it promotes rejecting conflict for collective salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo texts Iroha to alert her of Kanagi&#039;s likely trap in Minaminagi, instructing a small advance group while Iroha&#039;s team trails for potential flank. Sunao prepares the Tokime Clan as Shizuka approaches, detected alongside Ao&#039;s earlier appearance. Chiharu and Kagome confirm Neo-Magius mobilization, and Iroha hopes Sunao conveys their feelings through the book to persuade Shizuka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Momoko, and others meet Kanagi and Mitama with their reinforcements. Kanagi admits the message served as bait to draw them out; neither plans to return. Mitama and Kanagi declare they will become a great evil uniting others against Kamihama&#039;s rotten history and fulfilling their destructive wishes meaningfully. They attack briefly, then Mitama paralyzes the group with her pre-set fabric magic and tampering their Soul Gems. Kanagi takes Lil&#039; Kyubey as a souvenir, and they leave a hatching Grief Seed as distraction before departing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi and Mitama anticipate the group moves to the cargo port for safe fighting, using it as pretext to empty the villa. They reaffirm no intent for serious harm among Magical Girls but proceed with their resolved path.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu wait near the radio telescope and Kanagi signals success by destroying the villa computer and disabling the alerts. They enter using Mitama&#039;s old Magius-era passcode, start the system—modified for ease—and confirm readiness once they acquire Meiyui&#039;s perception-altering magic to synthesize through Himena&#039;s power, broadcasting the altered reality city-wide beyond mere value shifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103002 san hinano.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* San and Miyuri confront Nanaka&#039;s team to capture Meiyui. A battle ensues where San&#039;s absolute defense and Miyuri&#039;s relentless assault overwhelm them until Iroha, Ui, Sana, and Hinano intervene. Hinano&#039;s chemicals temporarily knock San out, forcing them to retreat without Meiyui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Himena faces iris recognition security Touka added. She spares Shigure and Hagumu the sight of comatose Touka, tasking San with photographing her eye while they fetch Mitsune for potential synthesized falsification magic without risking her becoming a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s group reaches the paralyzed team, removes the fabrics, and handles the hatched Witch. Reports flood in of widespread Witches, which Neo-Magius have spread as a strategy to scatter forces. Nanaka&#039;s team volunteers to fight Witches threatening civilians, freeing Mikazuki to check the Crescent House.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at the house, searches reveal nothing stolen or damaged, leaving everyone confused about the intrusion&#039;s purpose.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Suitoku Temple, Kagome observes the standoff between Sunao, Shizuka, Chiharu, Ryoko, and Chika. Chiharu asks if Shizuka had left the Neo-Magius to return, but Shizuka states that it was the others who had rejected her as family head. She&#039;s there not to rejoin the clan, but to convince her former followers to support her vision of Diviners ruling as gods to purge evil. Shizuka outlines her plan to have Himena be in charge initially, and if she causes suffering to people outside Kamihama, Shizuka would strike her down to earn the Diviners the respect of the people. Sunao compares Shizuka&#039;s methods to Mikoshiba, and Chiharu adds that Himena is a person who could commit evil with a pure heart, without malice. Sunao declares she would not let Shizuka leave, and Shizuka orders her accompanying branch family members to buy her time to escape. Despite Sunao&#039;s cry, Shizuka flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Shizuka escapes, Ryoko assures Chiharu that speaking forcefully was necessary to reach Shizuka. They all describe their ideal image of the Tokime Clan, which involves exterminating Devils and helping everyone indiscriminately. They resolve to find Shizuka and Chika communicates with animals to track her. Sunao apologizes to Kagome for departing and Aru asks Sunao whether the branch family members who followed Shizuka were those who had their wishes assigned to them in the clan&#039;s ritual. Sunao confirms this, shocked she hadn&#039;t noticed the pattern herself. Kagome apologizes for the impertinent observation, but Sunao is grateful, and she concludes that Shizuka and the branch families were seeking self-meaning and resorted to extremes because of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka&#039;s mother calls Chiharu. She had a premonition and called after Shizuka didn&#039;t answer. Chiharu explains how Shizuka and some branch families had joined the enemy, believing Diviners must guide people to prevent corruption. Shizuka&#039;s mother states she would not take sides and would accept whichever side won, but to win, they must either change Shizuka or kill her, as she had raised Shizuka to be prepared for that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Chiharu&#039;s mother intervenes, taking the phone. She admonishes Shizuka&#039;s mother, stating Shizuka was just a girl who bore pressure because she wasn&#039;t alone but supported by her peers. She tells Shizuka&#039;s mother to be honest about her love for her daughter rather than rationalizing her death. Shizuka&#039;s mother concedes that she is right and apologizes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Elsewhere, Shizuka reflects that she agrees with Kanagi and Mitama that destruction could be a final means for change, but saw Himena as different and selfish. Shizuka plans to take Himena&#039;s head if she oversteps, to show the people a kind-hearted Diviner watched over them. She questions aloud if she was like Mikoshiba, but a branch family member reassures her they aren&#039;t acting on selfish desires. Shizuka notices a bird, which is Chika&#039;s animal informant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The others find Shizuka, who had anticipated them. Shizuka declares she will stop them there and used her personal magic to create invisible walls and stop them. She states she will keep them there until the Neo-Magius&#039; plans were complete. Sunao realizes Shizuka could sustain it indefinitely if branch members supplied her with Devil&#039;s Souls for purification. Ryoko devises a plan to talk to the branch family members and, with Chiharu, Ryoko begins a forced sermon for the trapped branch members with her unique magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryoko lectures the branch members, arguing that the old Tokime Clan operated in the shadows as part of Mikoshiba&#039;s rule, but historically, they knew the world and still protected the land. She also states one cannot understand good without understanding evil, just as light creates shadow. By trying to be a beacon of pure goodness, they were inadvertently creating evil. A branch member realizes their clan&#039;s history was one of being ruled and cut off. Before Mikoshiba, the clan knew the people, understood their evil, and still made wishes for them. They conclude that to teach good, one must also acknowledge evil.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The branch members apologize to Shizuka, stating they now saw what the Tokime Clan should truly hate. With their support withdrawn, Shizuka&#039;s hold falls and she resorts to her Gaze Locking technique. Sunao, seeing no other choice, declares she has to kill Shizuka, but Chiharu grabs Sunao&#039;s arm, admonishing them for treating lives too lightly. Chiharu makes an emotional plea for the three of them to stay together as they were when they set out. She begs Shizuka to come back so they could support each other, restart the clan, and avoid pushing people into extremes of good and evil. Shizuka responds that it was already too late.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome notes that Shizuka and the branch families were bound by a duty to protect the land, and breaking free from that history would be a source of hope for all Magical Girls. Kagome asks Rii to relay a message to Chiharu and Sunao. The Uwasa quickly delivers the message and Chiharu understands the plan is to use the Kimochi Stones, just like with Iroha and Yuna, might allow Shizuka to understand their thoughts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri and Ranka, who had tailed Neo-Magius Feathers to a mountain base, debate assaulting it. Yuna calls Juri, ordering her and Ranka to meet Chiharu and Sunao and lend them Juri&#039;s Opal Kimochi Stone, which was filled with respect. Yuna explains this was Iroha&#039;s idea, as Shizuka would need the feelings of those close to her. Yuna acknowledges the risk of the Kimochi taking over but says it is worth the chance. Juri agreed, and they departed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Having been ordered by Himena to retrieve Mitsune from the hospital, Shigure and Hagumu link Himena&#039;s increasingly radical behavior to Alexandra&#039;s departure. Himena plans to synthesize Mitsune&#039;s falsification magic to bypass security for the radio telescope operation. To mitigate the risk of Mitsune turning into a Witch, Himena plans to not let Mitsune use it, but rather take it for herself. They encounter San and Miyuri on the way to the hospital, where San is mixing a powder for an undisclosed purpose to avoid conflict.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shigure and Hagumu enter Mitsune&#039;s room, as she&#039;s recovering from her legs being paralyzed. Shigure and Hagumu update her on the plan to use the radio telescope to spread knowledge of Magical Girls, framing it as making them heroes, thus turning Mitsune&#039;s online &amp;quot;lie&amp;quot; into reality. However, Mitsune tells them about her &amp;quot;true self,&amp;quot; who was a lonely girl playing games in her room. Being a heroic Magical Girl was a lie she wore and Himena had previously asked her to &amp;quot;falsify the goals of the western candidate&amp;quot; in the Kamihama mayoral election. Mitsune had realized too late this was not to help people but to destabilize the East and manipulate Kanagi and Shizuka, paving the Neo-Magius&#039; path to victory. She believes this unforgivable act means she could never be a hero or face the ghost of Jun, who she now fully remembers. She reveals San had stopped her from telling Shigure and Hagumu earlier, but she pleads with them to stop Himena.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San and Miyuri, unable to access Touka&#039;s room, encounter Mifuyu, who is guarding it. San proposes Mifuyu joins the Neo-Magius, citing Tsukasa&#039;s defection and Mifuyu&#039;s debt to Touka and Nemu. Mifuyu refuses, stating her debt was to Touka and Nemu, not their ideology, and that they gave her a chance to dream by tutoring her. Mifuyu asks what the Neo-Magius is planning, and San, after checking the time with Miyuri, reveals it. The revelation horrifies Mifuyu, whose vision becomes shaky. San reveals she had used a special chemical blend secured by Feathers on Mifuyu, thanking Hinano for the lesson earlier. San and Miyuri leave to find Shigure and Hagumu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103003 mitsune escape.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Shigure and Hagumu, reeling from the news about the election, resolve to flee with Mitsune and beg the Union for help to stop Himena. The three discuss a message from Alexandra confirming the grim nature of the operation. They express not wanting this future or to kill anyone, and Shigure recalls Juri&#039;s advice about dangerous &amp;quot;nice&amp;quot; allies. They escape by jumping through the emergency exit before San and Miyuri enter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the radio telescope, Himena is frustrated by a prerecorded taunting message from Touka that prevents access and alerted authorities. She acknowledges Mitsune&#039;s magic was now essential.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, at Crescent House, Iroha receives a message from Tsukuyo that Tsukasa is missing, reminiscent of Mitama&#039;s disappearance. Felicia yells, having found proof that Mitama and Kanagi had indeed broken into their house. Yachiyo surmises that Kanagi and Mitama had broken the computer in Touka&#039;s room, specifically its power supply, to prevent alerts from Touka&#039;s systems. Given the Neo-Magius&#039; goal, they deduce the target is the radio telescope, which they plan to use, as was done once before to lure Walpurgisnacht, to spread the ideology of Magical Girl Supremacy across Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Immediately after Mifuyu&#039;s capture, San and Miyuri transport her. San receives a call from Kanagi, who reports that Yachiyo and the main Union force are en route to the radio telescope. Kanagi states her team will stall them and San also learns that Shizuka&#039;s team has not reported in from Suitoku Temple. San leaves Miyuri to take Mifuyu ahead and goes to check on Kanagi&#039;s squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Elsewhere, the standoff continues between Kanagi, Mitama, and the the girls of Mikazuki, where Kanagi explains she gave Lil&#039; Kyubey to Himena. Iroha and Ui plead with them to stand down, but Kanagi and Mitama explain their resolve to use force to change Kamihama, stating that trust and dialogue have failed. Shigure, Hagumu, and Mitsune arrive, fleeing from San and begging the Union to protect Mitsune. San is able to take Mitsune and leave, however Mitsune uses telepathy to let Shigure know that she won&#039;t let them take advantage of her that easily. Shigure reveals the Neo-Magius&#039; true plan is to use the radio telescope to broadcast a signal that uses Mitsune&#039;s falsification magic. This signal would make people unable to eat or drink without acknowledging the superiority of Magical Girls, breaking the population through fear and instinct.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo confronts Kanagi, who confirms her involvement in this plan. A battle erupts as the Union tries to break through to the telescope. Kanagi and Mitama, aided by their Neo-Magius Feathers, successfully stall the Union forces.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile in Yukuni, the group prepares to return to Kamihama. As they leave Yukuni, Nayuta reaffirms her determination to create a future where Magical Girls are saved. On the train, Lavi reflects on their role as bystanders and fears that if Kamihama meets the same fate as Yukuni, proving the universe&#039;s will is hostile, Nayuta will come to despise them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103004 tokime persons.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Sunao and Chiharu have a standoff with Shizuka, and Juri and Ranka arrive, giving them the Kimochi Stone of Respect to enter Shizuka&#039;s heart. Chika receives a message from the Union detailing the Neo-Magius&#039; plan for the radio telescope and Chiharu and Sunao enter Shizuka&#039;s heart. They find it frozen over, but through a role-play based on Sana&#039;s picture book, they help Shizuka realize that her method of purging evil by inflicting suffering is flawed. Shizuka understands that true virtue involves healing the suffering that causes wrongdoing, not punishing the wrongdoer. She apologizes to her clan and decides to lead them not as a solitary ruler, but with the support of the branch families. The reunited Tokime Clan also heads for the radio telescope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka contacts Iroha on the phone to inform her the Tokime Clan is on the way. Tsukuyo also broadcasts a telepathic warning to all Magical Girls in Kamihama about the Neo-Magius&#039; plan. Yuna and the Promised Blood faction, having dealt with Ao, arrive to reinforce the Union. With their combined numbers, the Union breaks through Kanagi and Mitama&#039;s defensive line.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside the radio telescope facility, Himena uses Mitsune&#039;s falsification magic to disable the final security and then Mifuyu&#039;s magic to synthesize the broadcast signal. San notes that despite Mifuyu&#039;s magic being for hallucinations, she&#039;d previously used it for self-suggestion at Hotel Fenthope, so she&#039;ll do. As the Union advances to the radio telescope, Tsukasa declares that even if Tsukuyo warns everyone about the situation, it will not change the outcome. Iroha directly refutes this and reports that Tsukuyo&#039;s voice has been heard, and a great wave of Magical Girls is gathering around the radio tower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna debates with Ao about her dream about the Magical Girl world, but Ao just concludes that while achieving her goal is difficult, it is still possible. Hikaru pleads with Ao to return to them, but Ao insists on continuing and becoming someone who no one can threaten. Yuna and Juri then declare their intent to remind Ao what fear is. A fight between the three and Ao commences, during which they brush her aside and then proceed toward the telescope. They leave Ao behind and tell her that their goal was to get to the telescope the entire time, which enrages Ao.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime also approach the telescope and Hinano announces they have broken through and instructs the group to follow her. Yachiyo defeats Kanagi, having successfully countered her mind-reading power, and proceeds with her team. Iroha prepares to give the order for a combined attack, but Himena abruptly announces that their time is up, shocking her. Himena reveals she has already now destroyed the telescope after sending the signal, as she doesn&#039;t need it anymore, also thanking Mifuyu for providing her magic. San orders a full retreat for the Neo-Magius, with Miyuri offering Shigure and Hagumu a chance to return with them, but both refuse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome arrives to the scene and confirms that the effect is real, as when she tried to drink, she became very nauseous instead. She deduces Himena&#039;s plan is to wait until the population suffers from this condition and then reveal the existence of Magical Girls. Citing information from her phone, she states the human body can survive only about four days without water. Therefore, a countdown for the city&#039;s survival has begun, with Kagome&#039;s own life also at risk.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage asks Tsukuyo for help in getting everyone in the East and West to make up to put Mitama at ease. Tsukuyo is taken aback but agrees to help after learning Mikage wants her sister back from the Neo-Magius and that they share the same goal. Tsukuyo notes Mitama hasn&#039;t heard that Mikage made up with the child who bullied her at the Tomorrow Shop, and Kanagi likely doesn&#039;t know either. Mikage aimes to prove people from both sides can get along with &amp;quot;Operation Friendship,&amp;quot; which Tsukuyo agrees to join. Their operation starts at the Tomorrow Shop, where Mikage gathers grade schoolers to help with the project, and Tsukuyo convinces one of the children&#039;s sister, an older girl who was also a member of Tsukuyo&#039;s koto club. It was at this time that everyone in the shop, with the exception of Mikage and Tsukuyo, become unable to eat or drink. Tsukuyo receives a telepathic message and concludes the situation is the work of the Neo-Magius, and Mikage gets a message from Shigure that the mayoral election rift was stirred up by Himena behind the scenes, and the now current mayor from the West disgraced the Eastern candidate not by her own will. Tsukuyo states that if they tell Mitama and Kanagi the truth, it might not be enough to bring them back, so they decide to continue with Operation Friendship. Tsukuyo telepathically tells Mikage she will meet up with Iroha&#039;s group and contact Mikage on her way to the West, while Mikage says she will swing by her house.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 10: Scampering Drastic Lovers|Arc 2, Chapter 10: Scampering Drastic Lovers]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* At the Puella Care trailer, Livia confronts Kyubey, accusing him of inciting Himena. Kyubey denies this, but Livia tells him that if he attempts any funny business, they will withdraw their cooperation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103005 old puella magi.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta reflects on her discoveries about how in Yukuni, Magical Girls revealed their existence to friends and it backfired, causing harm and resentment. Her father&#039;s research into historical figures rumored to be Magical Girls found none were publicly known as such, leading to his theory that the universe actively suppresses anything inconvenient to its energy cycle. Nayuta refuses to accept salvation is impossible and resolves to go to Kamihama City to witness firsthand what happens when Magical Girls&#039; existence is about to be revealed, determined to find hope for the future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Lavi, Alexandra, Asahi, Urara, and Tasuke discuss the situation. Lavi confirms, based on a message from Shigure to Alexandra, that Himena has initiated her plan to inform the world of Magical Girls&#039; existence. Alexandra notes Himena has made it impossible for people in Kamihama to eat or drink, which will create an unbridgeable gap between humans and Magical Girls, even if their existence becomes known. Urara suggests the universe&#039;s self-cleaning effect might not activate if this path isn&#039;t comforting for Magical Girls, but Tasuke counters that if humans become afraid, fewer will contract, also threatening the universe&#039;s energy supply.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Puella Care&#039;s trailer, Livia, Yozuru and Sudachi have finally tracked the magic signature of Himena, which had been concealed by coordination. They vow to snuff out whatever plan she is involved in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside the Kamihama Civic Center, Himena confirms to San and Miyuri that she has been honest with Shigure about her plans, including using Mitsune&#039;s falsification magic to manipulate the Kamihama mayor&#039;s goals and intentionally involving townspeople. She admits she cannot create the future she and Shigure both wanted, but her motive stems from a desire to force people, like her disapproving mother, to acknowledge her relationship with Hiko. San confirms she and Miyuri chose to stay to support Himena&#039;s plan for them to become gods of the Fire Festival. San reports they successfully tracked down and expelled Shigure and Hagumu to the Union, but Himena remains confident, stating Shizuka bought them time and that she has tricks prepared, even if dozens of Magical Girls attack. San secures a promise from Himena not to involve the people of Hikarizuka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Himena addresses the remaining Feathers through a stage announcement. She declares only 11 hours remain until Magical Girls&#039; existence is revealed and urges them to obey her final instructions to achieve Magical Girl supremacy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* From the satellite base, Kagome observes the hundreds of thousands of affected people in Kamihama, including Magical Girls&#039; families. Many Magical Girls react with horror about their families, and Iroha questions Shigure and Hagumu, who claim they didn&#039;t know the plan would go this far but accept blame. Iroha believes them and asks for their help and they deduce Himena will likely make her move in the morning, after anxiety peaks and people are home watching media. Felicia proposes attacking the TV station immediately, but Ranka and Yuna argue for seizing control of power sources and antennas to shut down the broadcast network at will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the satellite base, the group coordinates. Shizuka, Sunao, and Chiharu volunteer to handle Witch-hunting in Kamihama to prevent curses from spreading during the crisis. Yachiyo instructs Magical Girls with families in Kamihama to go home and check on them. Teams are formed, with Shigure, Hagumu, and Promised Blood targeting the broadcast network, Mikazuki will team up to stop the broadcast, and Mifuyu requests to go her own way to break the mass suggestion by collaborating with the Amane sisters. Yachiyo agrees, and they plan to reunite Tsukuyo and Tsukasa first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the radio tower, San and Miyuri have positioned Feathers and await the Union&#039;s attack, correctly predicting they will target the main TV transmission tower. They discuss the spreading rumors about Kamihama on social media and San explains Himena&#039;s personal hierarchy has Hiko first, Alexandra second, the Neo-Magius third, other Magical Girls fourth, and everyone else meaningless. She notes Alexandra could only delay Himena&#039;s plan, which San is grateful for as she needs to act before Fire Festival culture fades further.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo receives a call from her modeling manager about a late-night news program on Kamihama, which she dismisses. The group approaches TV Kamihama, and Sana senses no magic yet. Felicia wants to smash the antenna immediately, but Tsuruno and Sana argue it would only confuse the public. The team decides to secure the area and they receive updates that Rena and Momoko&#039;s families are safe. Tsukuyo catches up, reporting she couldn&#039;t contact Tsukasa and Sana detects the Neo-Magius&#039; approach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Neo-Magius Feathers attack in coordinated trios, attempting to split the Union team. Tsuruno devises a counter-strategy by pretending to flee to lure the Feathers into a trap in a familiar area of Chuo Ward. The plan succeeds, and the Feathers are defeated and incapacitated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Mifuyu and Tsukuyo confront San and Miyuri on a rooftop. Mifuyu demonstrates improved combat skills, deflecting San&#039;s bullets, but Miyuri, in her unconscious state, proves a formidable opponent. San admits she dislikes fighting familiar opponents because they catch on too easily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukasa, stationed at a lesser-known radio station per San&#039;s orders, watches news reports and is consumed by guilt over her role. A former Magius Black Feather expresses unwavering belief in Magical Girl supremacy as the only way to break the suggestion and save lives. When Yuna, Juri, Ranka and Hikaru attack, Tsukasa flees into the sewers, a location she and Tsukuyo once guarded. Using the chamber&#039;s acoustic properties to amplify her flute&#039;s sound as a weapon, she incapacitates the Promised Blood team and escapes with the help of a Black Feather who sacrifices herself to hold them back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Promised Blood regroups with Mifuyu and Tsukuyo and they deduce the Neo-Magius was only buying time to make finishing touches. Yuna speculates that Ao, working separately, might be the Neo-Magius&#039; winning bet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikazuki secures the perimeter of the main antenna. Iroha and Ui try to reason with San, but San refuses to be persuaded and she and Miyuri retreat. Yachiyo&#039;s team takes control of the antenna but feels the victory was too easy, suspecting a stall tactic or alternative media plans, like livestreams, or satellite. Sana volunteers to infiltrate the Neo-Magius base with Shizuka&#039;s help, as Shizuka knows their inner workings.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s vacant shop, Momoko finds Mikage, as they both snuck out from their homes. Mikage reveals she has been helping Tsukuyo with &amp;quot;Operation Friendship&amp;quot; to bring Mitama back and needs Momoko&#039;s help to reach out to people from the East. Momoko decides to take a gamble and join the operation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Sana and Shizuka, disguised in Neo-Magius robes, infiltrate the Takarazaki Community Center. Shizuka explains the complex weekly password system, and they wait with the other Feathers. Sana, using her invisibility, scouts the kitchen and finds torn pieces of a shipping receipt. She reconstructs it and discovers the Neo-Magius mailed some kind of disc to various media outlets three days prior, which she relays to the Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Felicia discuss Sana&#039;s discovery over the phone. Tsuruno deduces the mailed discs likely contained information on Magical Girls and a prediction of the current crisis in Kamihama, making the unrealistic claim credible after the prediction comes true. They realize Himena can spread the word without appearing herself, potentially framing all Magical Girls as harmful. Yachiyo analyzes that serious media will be cautious about airing such content, especially involving a minor, while lighter outlets lack credibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During a meeting upstairs, which Sana eavesdrops on, San confirms Himena is in hiding. She laments the damage to their broadcast network, and with reduced forces, they decide against spreading too thin. Their new plan is to use the giant publicity loudspeakers at the Kamihama Civic Center to broadcast Himena&#039;s voice. San also decides to recall Tsukasa to the Community Center. Sana relays this new target location to the Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a rooftop, Kanagi and Mitama monitor the growing chaos in Kamihama. They dismiss the message about Himena&#039;s manipulation of the election as a ploy, believing the East-West conflict is inevitable. They resolve to continue their path of uniting people against them through destruction. The Kimochi Stone of Grief acts up, attempting to erode them, and to prevent the Kimochi from stealing their grief without consequence, Mitama performs a dangerous coordination, fusing the Kimochi&#039;s fate with their very lives, ensuring it cannot take their sorrow without also taking their lives. They emerge with their new &amp;quot;Eternal Darkness&amp;quot; transformations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Elsewhere Ao is making her way to Yukuni City&#039;s eradication faction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* From her room, Kagome&#039;s grateful her parents were saved from the effects of the radio. Elsewhere, Momoko, Rena, Kaede and Mikage discuss their efforts to unite East and West students. Momoko reports only a 30% success rate in the West, as people are preoccupied with their physical ailments, and that Mikage and Tsukuyo had an advantage by acting before the crisis. The group is uncertain how much they can achieve before morning to bring back Mitama and Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu and Tsukuyo, racing to catch up to the main group, note Iroha&#039;s team is closer to the Kamihama Civic Center. Hikaru is frustrated by the lack of response from Ao and Juri discovers a scheduled livestream on Ao&#039;s Dotube channel. Yuna suspects Himena might use it for her broadcast and Shigure and Hagumu note that a direct confrontation at the Civic Center seems unlike Himena&#039;s style, suggesting a deeper plan. Tsukuyo checks a tracking app and discovers Tsukasa is actually south of their location, not in Daito. She theorizes Tsukasa may have been too scared to disable the app or simply forgot and Mifuyu decides to split from the group to pursue Tsukasa with Tsukuyo, believing the Civic Center team has enough manpower, to which Yuna gives no objection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Yachiyo, Ui, Tsuruno, and Felicia arrive near the Kamihama Civic Center. They sense no trace of Himena or Tsukasa but detect a familiar, cold magical signature. They encounter Kanagi and Mitama, with their magical presence feeling cold and wrong. Tsuruno warmly invites them back, but Kanagi and Mitama immediately attack her soul gem without hesitation. Their new transformation, Everlasting Darkness, is revealed and they speak in unison about delivering meaningful ruin and death as a form of hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A battle ensues, where Kanagi&#039;s predictive abilities have improved, making her nearly untouchable. Yachiyo tries to reason with them, urging Kanagi to remember the people around her, and Kanagi acknowledges she is poor at gauging feelings but states she has decided to abandon the present Kamihama to focus on the future. Yachiyo is overwhelmed and Felicia is drained of strength by Mitama. The duo prepares to finish the group but suddenly decides to retreat, stating time is of the essence. As they leave, Mitama sets a trap on the door. Yachiyo warns Felicia just in time, preventing her from triggering an explosion that would have killed them all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu and Tsukuyo find only Tsukasa&#039;s discarded phone and decide to follow Tsukasa&#039;s remaining magical energy. Mifuyu notes a press organization broadcasting emergency instructions on an electronic billboard.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside the Takarazaki Community Center, Sana and Shizuka receive Iroha&#039;s message that the Civic Center intel was false and they realize they may have been discovered. Shizuka proposes attacking San while she and Miyuri are resting to demoralize the Feathers, and Sana reluctantly agrees and uses her magic to hide Shizuka&#039;s presence. The attempt fails, as San had activated her absolute defense and was waiting for them. She and Miyuri wake and order the Feathers to capture Sana and Shizuka. A chase ensues and Sunao, Chiharu, and the rest of the Tokime Clan, who had been on standby, intervene to rescue them. The Neo-Magius is forced to break off the pursuit when neighbors begin to notice the commotion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After escaping, Sana proposes returning to the Community Center alone, believing their guard will be down. She devises an escape plan using Chika&#039;s animal communication, and having the dog Mameji from Chiaki&#039;s bento shop track her scent and, with a pack of other dogs, cause a distraction if she&#039;s in danger. The Tokime Clan agrees to help and Sana re-infiltrates and overhears San having a heated argument with a Youth Association member named Tatsu. Tatsu informs her the portable shrine for the Fire Festival is to be disposed of, as there&#039;s no hope of reviving the &amp;quot;dangerous&amp;quot; festival. San is devastated, declaring she will become the festival&#039;s god herself and Tatsu tells her to move on. San is left heartbroken, having risked her life as a Magical Girl to protect the festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Sana eavesdrops on Feathers discussing their next mission of sending five members to Yukuni City to follow Ao and the Janomiya faction. Their goal is to prevent Ao from killing members of the Eradication Faction, then capture the faction members on video to condemn their disrespect towards Magical Girls for their broadcast. Sana is horrified but her reaction breaks her concealment magic and San and Miyuri corner her. Miyuri shatters Sana&#039;s shield, and as San is about to deliver a final blow, the pack of dogs led by Mameji attacks, creating enough chaos for Sana to escape. She is badly injured but rescued by the Tokime Clan, with her final message warning everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at the Crescent House, Mitama had pre-rigged the explosion and only added the final trigger at the end. Yachiyo laments that their words couldn&#039;t reach Kanagi and Mitama. Tsuruno picks up their faint, concealed magical signatures and tracks them heading toward Kamihama&#039;s city hall. Iroha realizes the city hall&#039;s disaster warning radio system, capable of broadcasting a voice across the entire city, and they must stop this final broadcast attempt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna and Promised Blood arrive, as they&#039;ve failed to find Himena. Iroha receives a call from Shizuka relaying Sana&#039;s message that the Neo-Magius plans to directly harm people in Yukuni City and broadcast it on Ao&#039;s Dotube channel to showcase Magical Girl cruelty and power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Simultaneously, the Union group chat reveals that flyers with QR codes linking to Ao&#039;s channel have been inserted into local newspapers. The flyer claims advance knowledge of the Kamihama crisis, lending credibility to the upcoming stream. Promised Blood immediately departs for Yukuni City to stop Ao and the Neo-Magius squad. Yachiyo announces that she will appear as a commentator on a live news broadcast with the mayor, intending to go off-script to help the situation, even at the risk of being banned from the entertainment industry and cutting off Mikazuki&#039;s income. She asks for the team&#039;s cooperation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a train, Nayuta, Lavi, Urara, Asahi, Alexandra, and Tasuke observe the conflict. Nayuta finds it pointless that sides with the same goal are fighting and Lavi suggests such clashes may be the universe&#039;s will to reduce those who would spread the word. Urara notes no one has died yet and Asahi states the aftermath is what matters. Tasuke prays his theory about universal cleansing is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* While the main Kamihama Magia Union confronts the leadership, other members assist Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Operation Friendship.&amp;quot; This operation aims to promote a signature site for the &amp;quot;Student Council for the Future of Kamihama&amp;quot; to unite the city&#039;s East and West.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 10: Shadowy Reflection in the Water|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 10: Shadowy Reflection in the Water]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Asuka, Sasara, and Emiri clear out the Witches released by the Neo-Magius. Afterwards, Iroha tasks them with promoting the signature site, and the team, along with other Union members like Maria, Meguru, and Aimi, attempt to spread the site via social media but achieve limited success due to low reach and corporate restrictions, as idol Sayuki Fumino&#039;s management forbids her from posting about it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that night, the team is called to the river between Kosho and Daito Wards by Rui. They find a large crowd of Witch-Kissed people from all over Western Kamihama attempting to cross into Daito Ward. The group, carrying heavy bags filled with objects to weigh themselves down, intend to commit suicide in the river as a form of atonement for their historical prejudice against the East. They explain their actions stem from guilt, weakness, and a warped sense of justice, amplified by the Neo-Magius&#039; plan and Yachiyo&#039;s televised appeal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magical Girls realize the only difference between themselves and the despairing citizens is the &amp;quot;luck&amp;quot; of their circumstances; had they not become Magical Girls and found a supportive community, they could have easily shared the same fate. This shared understanding becomes the key to reaching them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meiyui and Aimi defeat the Witch, breaking her influence. Sayuki, defying her management, holds an impromptu guerrilla concert and announces a new song titled &amp;quot;#I&#039;m Like You, I&#039;m With You,&amp;quot; a concept inspired by Ria&#039;s earlier commentary. The concert is broadcast online, and the hashtag trends locally. The Union uses this trending tag to successfully promote the signature site, leading to a massive surge in signatures and public support for unification.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s Shop, Sana is treated by Livia, Yozuru and Sudachi, with Shizuka offering a Grief Seed for her. Sunao and Chiharu arrive, relieved to find the group, as they couldn&#039;t patch Sana&#039;s injuries fast enough at the Puella Care trailer, but Livia explains they were on the move for their own reasons. Shizuka says she can&#039;t tell if Livia is a good person, and Livia admits she&#039;s the one who&#039;s been making them fight each other, so maybe she&#039;s not, but despite that, she is still an ally to everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Neo-Magius’ base, Iroha confirms that Yuna and her friends safely boarded a freight train to Yukuni City, and Yachiyo heads off to the studio. Shigure and Hagumu also depart to try and find Mitsune, who still hasn&#039;t been found, even after the radio tower incident. Felicia and Tsuruno agree to head to the city hall to reach the emergency broadcast console.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena thanks Mitsune, telling her she can stay there for the rest of the night. Mitsune asks if Himena is really going to use &amp;quot;that device&amp;quot; and Himena confirms it&#039;s already installed and just needs activation. Himena justifies her actions by saying that she needs it to get all the Kimochi Stones and that she took Mitsune out of Kamihama tosave her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Iroha, Ui, and Felicia follow Tsuruno as she tracks Kanagi and Mitama&#039;s magic to Kamihama&#039;s city hall through the rooftops. They wonder where the emergency radio console would be located in such situations, as the original office had moved after area was damaged by Eve. Iroha suggests that more of Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls spread out and check with each ward, and they proceed to call the others to do so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mizuna, Tsukuyo has lost track of Tsukasa&#039;s magic, but Mifuyu suspects someone erased her trail on purpose, as the two of them together could resolve the situation in Kamihama. Iroha communicates telepathically with Iroha, who tells her that Kanagi and Mitama moved from Daito Ward to Chuo Ward and then onward, with their destination likely being the disaster warning radio location. She suggests checking all possible points in the vicinity. Tsukuyo deduces that since the two moved from Daito to Chuo and further west, they may have passed through Mizuna, and Mifuyu realizes the two may have erased Tsukasa&#039;s magic, and that Tsukasa could be at the radio location too. Tsukuyo checks and finds Kamihama City has a branch office in Mizuna Ward and they head there, sensing Kanagi and Mitama&#039;s magic, but finding something off about it. As they&#039;d be noticed if they tried to sneak in, they approach from the front to avoid provocation, where they&#039;re shocked by Kanagi and Mitama&#039;s changed forms. Kanagi notes their arrival and suggests moving somewhere private.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu states that their changed appearance proves their souls have greatly changed and that they have committed to total destruction. A fight ensues between the two groups and Mifuyu and Tsukuyo try to retreat. Kanagi and Mitama explain their goal to unite Kamihama&#039;s East and West by becoming a common enemy through the city&#039;s destruction, forcing the survivors to join hands. Mifuyu rejects this and tells Mitama that Mikage hasn&#039;t given up on uniting the East and West, but Mitama refuses to believe this. Mitama and Kanagi attack, but Momoko&#039;s appears and intervenes at the last second.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko approaches Kanagi and Mitama with understanding, and soon Mikage and the rest of Momoko&#039;s team approaches as well. Mikage explains through telepathy to Kanagi and Mitama that she wanted to prove they didn&#039;t have to fulfill their wish to destroy Kamihama, which is why she has been trying her best with &amp;quot;Operation Friendship.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In Daito, Momoko receives a telepathic message from Iroha and relays that the Neo-Magius&#039; plan is to use the loudspeakers at the Kamihama Civic Center. Rena and Kaede also note that they&#039;d notified other Magical Girls about Operation Friendship, and they also create a petition page titled &amp;quot;Student Conference for the Future of Kamihama City,&amp;quot; explaining the East-West problem, the pressure from older generations, and their goal to unite students from both sides.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While searching, Kaede notes the signature numbers for their petition are going up. Kanagi&#039;s younger brother approaches them, asking if his sister has anything to do with the current situation, as Kanagi&#039;s acted differently after he&#039;d gotten mugged by a group from the West and hospitalized. Momoko deduces this could be why Kanagi was shaken up, and Mikage promises to bring her back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage notes info is getting around in the East and their next stop is the West. Mikage notices someone left a very long comment: a student from Mizuna confessing to having tried to push a transfer student from Daito down the stairs years ago out of jealousy. The commenter signs the petition, wanting to make a difference and never add to the number of unhappy people again. Rena senses a Witch, and they notices someone about to jump, possibly Witch-kissed. Mikage recognizes the person as the mayor and they save her from jumping. She wakes up and, seeing Mikage&#039;s Daito uniform, apologizes for the suffering caused by her. She doesn&#039;t understand why she didn&#039;t participate in the election fairly or why she tried to undermine the East, and until recently, she thought of the disaster as a chance to unite the city. She only realized something was wrong when she thought about helping citizens during the current crisis, and something cleared in her head. After speaking in emergency meetings, she realized she was hurting the people she was supposed to protect, so she decides to resign. Mikage asks her a favor: to join their petition to unite East and West and tell everyone she knows. The mayor agrees, stating she will hold a press conference on the situation, tender her resignation afterward, and tell people about the girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko contacts Yachiyo about this informing her that if they can&#039;t stop Ao&#039;s livestream by the end of the hour, she will show footage of Magical Girls hurting ordinary humans. Yachiyo confirms and Momoko then explains they saved the mayor, who will announce her resignation and talk about their petition at a press conference. She asks Yachiyo to bring it up on the live news program she&#039;s part of and she agrees to the request.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko recounts the events to Kanagi and Mitama, who question if East and West can unite without them becoming villains. The two refuse to believe it and declare once again that they will keep going, but Mifuyu telepathically devises a plan with the others. She will use her illusion magic to show the press conference, Tsukuyo will amplify the audio with her ability, and Mikage will bring up the original program on her phone, so they must stall them until preparations are complete.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103102 yachiyo appearance.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* They keep fighting until Mikage gives them the signal, and they transmit the press conference live recording to them. Yachiyo&#039;s voice from the news program is heard, where she is saddened by the mayor&#039;s ties to extremist groups and resignation. She discusses the long-standing East-West divide, her pain at seeing it reopen after the election, and the difficulty of bridging the gap. She announces that Kamihama&#039;s students are trying to reconnect through the &amp;quot;Student Conference for the Future of Kamihama City&amp;quot; and their petition, which she has decided to join. She urges viewers to sign, stating she doesn&#039;t want to see any more friends cry over the East-West situation and would be happy if they could make a difference.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage tells Mitama that the future with their friends is still connected, and Kanagi&#039;s brother arrives with Iroha, Felicia, and Ui. He explains that Reira and others told him where Kanagi was, and he met Iroha&#039;s group on the way, and that others were on their way too. A girl steps forward and apologizes to Mitama for trying to push her down the stairs years ago out of jealousy, which led to Mitama&#039;s punishment and expulsion. She promises to live her life to the fullest to end the cycle of misery and asks to be allowed to help for the sake of all their futures. Kanagi&#039;s brother tells Kanagi he doesn&#039;t want to see her alone and that as much as she and Mitama have tried to change the East-West relationship, they&#039;ll do it together this time, so she shouldn&#039;t shoulder it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103103 kanagi mitama settle.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi sighs and admits she may have been rather tactless, and Iroha references a video left behind by Ryo, who said she was jealous of Kanagi and Mitama because they would get to enjoy a fair and equal East, which is what she wanted when she joined the Wings of the Magius. Kanagi confirms this, realizing she was so focused on the grief of Kamihama as a whole that she forgot the feelings of those closest to her. She was on the verge of giving up but now understands she doesn&#039;t have to, so she will strive to build a future free of sorrow with the help of those around her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama expresses fear about her wish for destruction growing in power and potentially bringing ruin beyond Kamihama, maybe even causing the Mirror Witch threat. Mikage says it would be tough to destroy everything yourself, so it&#039;s better not to do something that will give her a hard time, and they can cross that bridge when they get to it. Momoko says if the time comes for everything to crash down, she&#039;ll join Mitama in the struggle. Mitama asks if Momoko would hold it against her if her wish killed her, and Momoko repeats they will fight side by side, and if it comes to that, they can die together with no hard feelings.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi addresses Iroha, stating she once found Iroha&#039;s idealism charming in its foolishness, perhaps because they are more alike than she thought. She went down the wrong path and implores Iroha to be careful not to make the same mistakes, to which Iroha says she&#039;ll try. Mitama tells Mikage to tell everyone to head for Sakae 1090, Himena&#039;s true location, which is also where the disaster warning radio is. Mitama explains the radio, the mail to media outlets, and Ao&#039;s livestream are all part of Himena&#039;s plan for her 1090 broadcast. The press is likely waiting nearby to verify the sent information.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi says she and Mitama will hasten to destroy Himena&#039;s contraption themselves. Tsuruno suggests they tag along, but Mitama says they have other business and cannot walk shoulder to shoulder with them at the moment. Tsukuyo asks if they know where Tsukasa is, and Kanagi says Tsukasa ran off on her own. Mitama confirms she covered her tracks but only knows the direction, and Mifuyu says she and Tsukuyo will continue looking for Tsukasa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo receives the updates, hoping the program staff won&#039;t keep her too long due to her off-script comments. She then sees replies from Ria and Sayuki about a Dotuber collab event scheduled for meeting and delivery at the 1090. She realizes if the seeds Himena sowed included influencers, the story from Kanagi is even more plausible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shigure and Hagumu, having tracked Mitsune&#039;s magic, find her at the Takarazaki Community Center. She reveals Himena brought her there and left to set up a trap, possibly taking her out of Kamihama so she wouldn&#039;t get caught. She thinks Himena didn&#039;t want Shigure and Hagumu dragged in either and she urges them to go stop Himena, but they ask her to explain the trap first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta receives a text from Mikage saying her sister has come back, and Asahi reports the Tokime Clan is tending to Sana. Urara states she doesn&#039;t know what&#039;s going on with Promised Blood, and everything is still a mess. Tasuke mentions his brother is helping with IV drips with other medical facilities. Nayuta explains that Mitama had defected to the Neo-Magius until recently, but a ray of hope spurred her return. Lavi says Iroha is actively reaching for peace and could be one of their last vestiges of hope, but cannot say if she can stop Himena&#039;s disaster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra admits she still regrets being unable to stop Himena, knowing it&#039;s impossible, as Himena&#039;s Number One has always been Hiko. Lavi says it&#039;s best to put faith in others and Alexandra agrees to wait and see if anyone else can stop her. Alexandra confesses she can&#039;t let Himena go on like this and cannot give up on her. Tasuke says to let her go and do what she&#039;s comfortable with, as in this universe, one is free to choose whether to give up or not.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, Juri, Ranka and Hikaru arrive to Yukuni through a cold, high-speed freight train. Yuna receives a message that Iroha&#039;s side has made progress, but they worry about Ao&#039;s scheduled livestream on the 1090 broadcast, which could display her violence to the mass media. They lack clues on the faction&#039;s location, but Urara messages Yuna with map coordinates for the Eradication Faction&#039;s base and reveals its current leader is Urara&#039;s ex-partner, whom Urara wants saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team follows a mountain goat path near a hot spring and Yuna outlines their plan to use the borrowed Kimochi Stone of Fear to connect with Ao&#039;s soul. If the Kimochi is controlling her, they will defeat it and if her feelings are beyond repair, they will have to instill a new fear. Juri reveals their long-term plan is to retire after this, which confuses Hikaru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside a mountain cabin, Ao is bored, waiting for the broadcast. She taunts the captured leader, Kurara, about the faction&#039;s persecution of Magical Girls like Alexandra. Kurara argues that Magical Girls hurt humans, but Ao counters that those who protect the public must defend themselves. She threatens Kurara to ensure good footage and Janomiya grunts express concern over Ao&#039;s worsening mental state.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna&#039;s team arrives and demands Ao release the faction. Ao eagerly attacks and a brief skirmish ensues, revealing Ao&#039;s reckless, berserker-like fighting style. The Janomiya grunts, deciding Ao has gone too far, betray her and untie Kurara. They reveal the other faction members are only knocked out, and tell Promised Blood to handle Ao.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna uses her Target Redirection to exploit Ao&#039;s openings, Ranka restrains her, and Yuna and Juri to use the Kimochi Stone of Fear. Hikaru insists on joining them and the three are pulled into Ao&#039;s mind space, leaving Ranka behind. Juri explains they were prepared for a suicide mission to save Ao, feeling responsible for her state. Hikaru protests, refusing to let Yuna die. Inside the soul space, they confirm the Kimochi is corroding Ao, and even after they defeat the Kimochi manifestation, Ao&#039;s personality remains unchanged. Yuna proposes a new plan to trace the memories in Ao&#039;s soul back to her birth to find and protect the moment her heart first experienced fear, preventing the Kimochi from eroding it. This would mean subjectively reliving 14 years of Ao&#039;s life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* To this, Ao, bored and seeing it as a condition for their promised fight, agrees and sends Yuna, Juri, Hikaru and herself into her past with the power of the Kimochi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The trio finds themselves in Ao&#039;s childhood home. Yuna and Juri take on the roles of her moms, while Hikaru appears as a neighborhood sister figure. They raise infant Ao, constantly fending off manifestations of the Kimochi that appear whenever she feels fear. The exhausting task strains them, especially Yuna, who handles most childcare. They try to be overprotective to prevent fear, but this backfires, making Ao socially withdrawn and timid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Ao grows, the Kimochi adapts, trying to eliminate her fears by removing her guilt, leading her to shoplift and pick fights. The trio continues to battle these manifestations. Hikaru, trying to help, gives a teenage Ao a game console as a stress reliever. Ao becomes engrossed in gaming, developing a sharper tongue but also finding a way to interact with others online. Yuna notes this is an improvement over her reclusive phase.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Somehow, likely due to her unique magic, [[Mitsuru Inami]] ends up involved within the dream world, not remembering her real life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;|Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ten years after Ao&#039;s rebirth, with Yuna, Juri, and Hikaru&#039;s duties leaving household chores piling up, they hire a housekeeper, which is the role of Mitsuru Inami in this world, a nervous woman who formally introduces herself to the family. Over the following weeks, the family discovers Mitsuru has an uncanny ability to appear unnoticed behind people, catching Juri eating secret snacks, Hikaru viewing her photo collection, and Ao playing games instead of doing homework.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The family meets Mitsuru away from the house to discuss their concerns. When a Witch&#039;s Barrier appears, Mitsuru panics but eventually reveals she is a thirty-one-year-old Magical Girl with an unconscious ability that deflects attacks. Her mother raised her to never stand out, making minimizing her presence second nature. Yuna realizes Mitsuru was the Ghost Magical Girl from their Futatsugi City days, whose deflected attacks unknowingly caused chaos during past conflicts. That night, Yuna decides to terminate Mitsuru&#039;s contract for Ao&#039;s safety. When Yuna calls the dispatch agency, Mitsuru reveals the company only employs her and states she will continue coming regardless. The following days, Mitsuru continues entering the house daily without a key, cleaning and preparing meals while security cameras show nothing. The family grows increasingly unsettled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Late one night, Yuna wakes and senses Mitsuru in the room with them. She confronts her, and Mitsuru begs to stay, explaining she finally feels normal living among fellow Magical Girls. Suddenly, Witch&#039;s Barrier envelops them and Mitsuru&#039;s deflection causes the Witch&#039;s attacks to hit the others while Juri and Hikaru struggle to protect Ao. Yuna realizes Mitsuru&#039;s absolute defense will fail when her magic runs out. She argues that Mitsuru cannot live normally without fighting Witches. Remembering Ao&#039;s words about helping others, Mitsuru fights back for the first time and defeats the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Mitsuru apologizes and says she will re-evaluate her way of living while hoping to continue housekeeping occasionally. Yuna agrees, noting she could become a powerful ally. Later, Ao complains about homework and says she misses Mitsuru&#039;s cooking. Hikaru distracts her with snacks found in the cupboard.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ao becomes a Magical Girl and Yuna and Juri deduce the final enemy, the manifestation of what Ao fears most, is about to appear: their own younger selves from the time they tried to eliminate Magical Girls in Futatsugi. They ask Hikaru to keep teenage Ao occupied while they confront their past selves on the battlefield. An intense battle ensues between the present-day Yuna, Juri and their younger, more powerful counterparts. The older pair wins but is left utterly drained of magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The core manifestation of Ao&#039;s fear appears and exhausted, Yuna and Juri prepare to sacrifice their lives in a final stand. Ao and Hikaru arrive and Ao reveals she sensed their magic and realized they had been protecting her all along. She refuses to let them die, declaring that losing them is her greatest fear. Fueled by rage at their self-sacrifice, she resonates with the Kimochi Stone of Rage again. Ao and Hikaru take over the fight, defeating the final enemy and protecting her own heart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group returns to reality, physically and magically exhausted. Ao is confused but deeply affected, now understanding the fear of losing her family. She addresses Yuna and Juri as &amp;quot;Mom&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Mama&amp;quot; before correcting herself, and Ranka, who had been guarding their bodies, is relieved and furious. The Janomiya grunts help support them and Ranka updates the four girls that Ao&#039;s livestream was canceled, and Kamihama&#039;s disaster radio was stopped. However, Himena&#039;s main broadcast on the 1090 electronic billboards is about to begin, with press in attendance. The team is in no condition to move and Ao receives a mass message from Himena with &amp;quot;final instructions&amp;quot;: all Neo-Magius members must leave Kamihama immediately. The broadcast is in one and a half hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* At a mountain lookout, Asahi, Urara, Lavi, Tasuke, and Nayuta discuss the impending battle and Urara relays messages from Promised Blood indicating the Neo-Magius is heavily outnumbered. Lavi suggests the situation might be deliberately engineered and Tasuke states this will be their final judgment on whether Magical Girls can be saved. Nayuta declares her intent to chase after her friends, like Mikage, to protect them, following Alexandra&#039;s example. She encourages Lavi to follow her true feelings too and Tasuke gives Lavi permission to act as she wishes, stating their role is only to observe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Alexandra runs through Kamihama, she recalls a phone call with Himena in which Himena claimed she acted on Alexandra&#039;s behalf to get revenge on those who tormented her. Alexandra protested, saying she didn&#039;t want extreme revenge and couldn&#039;t believe Himena was going through with her plan. Himena blamed Alexandra for leaving and she explained she left because she knew Himena would never listen as long as Hiko was her priority, hoping her disappearance might make Himena stop. Himena apologized, stated it was too late, and told Alexandra to leave Kamihama. Back in the present, Alexandra regrets not confronting Himena as a friend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In a city plaza, Iroha coordinates the search for Himena, who is believed to be in Sakae Ward. Tsuruno speculates Himena will appear in person at the 1090 area to bolster credibility. Hinano reports most Witches are defeated and offers to distribute the collected Grief Seeds. Felicia also relays that the entire Tokime Clan is coming to assist. Iroha is relieved but notes Sana is still injured and being cared for by Livia at the Coordinator&#039;s. Iroha&#039;s group observes TV crews and speculates people are waiting for news about Kamihama. Through telepathy, Mifuyu reports no leads on Himena or Tsukasa and widens the search from Chuo to Sakae Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In a ruined street, Shizuka, Chiharu, Chika, and Ryouko arrive at a restricted zone near Puella Care where Chika detects several Magical Girls. Shizuka confirms it&#039;s neutral territory, but with Puella Care absent, it&#039;s ripe for trouble. They are surrounded by Neo-Magius Feathers who chose to stay and fight despite retreat orders. Chiharu chastises them for staining their hands with evil. The Feathers attack, but Shizuka reveals getting caught was their intention to defeat the pawns and clear the path to Himena.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On their own, Tsukuyo and Mifuyu find nothing and a message reveals Momoko&#039;s group also found nothing in abandoned buildings. Tsukuyo suggests finding San for information and Mifuyu, recalling her combat style which preferred wide-open spaces for her gatling guns, deduces she would be at Sakae General School, close to the 1090 area. Mifuyu asks Tsukuyo to continue searching for Tsukasa alone while she teams up with Iroha to confront San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Sakae School, Iroha&#039;s group is ambushed by San, Miyuri, and Feathers. San admits they planned to ambush the Union but were found first. A fierce battle ensues where San declares they will fight for their own happiness. In the battle, Mifuyu demonstrates significantly improved combat skills, dodging San&#039;s shots, and Felicia and Tsuruno launch a combined attack on her too, yet she remains unharmed. Mifuyu orders them to retreat and San challenges Mifuyu to a one-on-one fight. Mifuyu states she will attack from the inside using illusions, forcing San to face the dreadful problems she knows about as her former superior. Mifuyu&#039;s illusion forces San to relive key memories where she sees the beautiful, jewel-like flames of the Hikarizuka Fire Festival that formed her identity. She feels deep nostalgia and love for Hikarizuka&#039;s everyday life and people, but then the scene shifts to the Chairman and Tatsu destroying a portable shrine, telling her she can&#039;t stay and must move on, that the Fire Festival is over. San desperately resists, declaring Hikarizuka her home and vowing to keep the festival alive. The illusion shows the portable shrine burning, which San finds beautiful. She realizes the God of the fire burns the present to prepare for the future and understands that to truly believe in the Fire Festival, she must move on and not fight reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at the school, San awakens and Miyuri is frantic. Mifuyu explains she showed San an illusion to help her step into the future by overcoming loss and the stagnation caused by clinging to the past. San acknowledges that everyone else moving on isn&#039;t abandonment but the start of a new path, and that the people of Hikarizuka care for her and want her to change with them. Mifuyu tells Miyuri there is more to love than devotion and obedience. Felicia and Tsuruno prepare to force information from San and Iroha pleads for Himena&#039;s location. San refuses, wanting to honor Himena wishes, however a White Feather reveals that Himena is in an abandoned museum. San is angered, but the Feather says they&#039;ve done enough. Iroha decides to investigate despite the risk of a trap and Ui also agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Elsewhere, Shigure and Hagumu rush, discussing Himena&#039;s strange &amp;quot;get out of Kamihama&amp;quot; message. They suspect she imbued something with falsification magic and worry she might do something to Magical Girls to turn the tables.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside a hospital, Tsukasa reflects on why she came there, as it was a place important to her and Tsukuyo as twins. Kanagi and Mitama find her and they reveal they have cut ties with the Neo-Magius after being shown hope. They show her a &amp;quot;Student Conference for the Future of Kamihama City&amp;quot; petition with growing signatures, proving young people are speaking out to change East-West relations. They also reveal the mayor&#039;s election manipulation was a Neo-Magius ploy by Himena. They urge her to rethink her choices and mention that Mifuyu and Tsukuyo are looking for her to break the suggestion. They apologize for misleading her and leave to take responsibility for their actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mizuna Shrine, Tsukuyo searches for Tsukasa. She finds Take, from the Amane Bamboo Studio, collapsed, mistaking her for Tsukasa. He says her father knows they meet there and begs to go home, mentioning he couldn&#039;t eat his favorite food. Tsukuyo realizes he is dehydrated, and recalling the hospital where she and Tsukasa confirmed they were twins, deduces Tsukasa will be there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside the hospital, Tsukuyo finds Tsukasa. She explains she found her due to Take&#039;s collapse and her memory of the hospital. Tsukasa is remorseful, realizing her actions nearly killed Take and would have devastated her father. Tsukuyo understands Tsukasa acted for their future together but states while the past cannot change, they can act now. She asks Tsukasa to join her and Mifuyu to dispel the suggestion and Tsukasa agrees, aiming to broadcast the counter-magic across Japan via the 1090 signal. A message arrives revealing Himena&#039;s hiding place is the abandoned museum in Sakae Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile on her own, Kagome runs through the city and senses everyone&#039;s reactions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the city plaza, Iroha&#039;s group detects Himena&#039;s signature in the abandoned Memory Museum. They are joined by Yachiyo, who returns from her TV appearance and the group enters the museum. Inside, they confront Himena and Iroha argues against ruling over humans, believing people can understand without force. Himena laughs, calling humans shallow and untrustworthy, comparing them to Kyubey. She states she will become a god to force acknowledgment. Iroha mentions they have stopped Kanagi, Mitama, and Ao, but Himena says she already heard. Iroha pleads to work together to find a new way for Himena&#039;s salvation, but Himena rejects it again, wanting to be saved immediately and tired of denial.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103105 himena witch.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Himena fights alone against the group. She uses synthesized magic: first Felicia&#039;s &amp;quot;Oblivion&amp;quot; to make Yachiyo forget, then Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; to try and send Mifuyu into a nightmare hallucination, which is then blocked by Yachiyo. She reveals she has been harvesting magic from their attacks using Ui&#039;s &amp;quot;Harvesting&amp;quot; power. However, she suddenly coughs and collapses, her Soul Gem cloudy from overuse. The group realizes combining abilities drains Himena&#039;s magic excessively. Himena admits she made a miscalculation with Ui&#039;s magic and she reveals her plan to steal all eight Kimochi Stones and the Automatic Purification System. She then discloses her trap was devices rigged to Kamihama&#039;s power grid to command all Magical Girls to break their own Soul Gems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In an alleyway, Kanagi, Mitama, and Puella Care are destroying one of Himena&#039;s remote control devices. Livia explains they detected Himena&#039;s intentions during a coordination and has been monitoring the trap. They prioritized stopping it over chasing Kanagi and Mitama. The group recovers and Yozuru and Sudachi perform adjustments to help them recover.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103105 neo magus.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the museum, Himena&#039;s trap fails and Felicia and Tsuruno attack to destroy Himena&#039;s phone, but she protects it. Suddenly, Shigure, Hagumu, San, and Miyuri appear, compelled to protect Himena despite her orders to leave. They express that though they cannot condone her methods, they don&#039;t want her to lose as they know her kind side. San states she likes Himena more than she thought and Shigure and Hagumu admit they might like her too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Union is reinforced by Sana, Shizuka, Momoko, and others. Miyuri admits defeat and San advises Himena to give up, suggesting they try a gentler approach next time. Himena angrily rejects this, stating they have become stronger and found hope, while she faces constant denial of Hiko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Himena&#039;s magic is nearly depleted and San and Miyuri beg her to stop before she becomes a Witch. Himena apologizes to Hiko, stating she can&#039;t use her final ace because the Neo-Magius is still in Kamihama. Shigure and Hagumu try to stop her and Iroha offers a Grief Seed, pleading for her to choose life and find another way. Himena refuses, saying she&#039;s sick of waiting and living in denial is hell. She acknowledges Iroha&#039;s ideal of everyone getting along is sweet but not for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Himena calls out to Kyubey, revealing he had been observing them. She accuses him of promising to let her Doppel out in exchange for causing a fuss. Kyubey denies an alliance, stating he only wanted to use her as a test subject to compare Witch and Doppel energy output and Himena realizes she&#039;s been used. She tells Iroha the Lil&#039; Kyubey is locked in the Civic Center and can serve as a hub for the Kimochi and Purification System instead of Ui. She asks Iroha to take care of Shigure and the others, stating she wants to support them even in death. As she reaches her limit, Kyubey notes she will be a good sample for the universe. Himena bids farewell to her friends and prepares to join Hiko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As everyone screams for Himena, Alexandra appears and purifies her Soul Gem with a Grief Seed. Himena is confused, thinking she must keep fighting. Alexandra states she purified her to keep her alive, scolding herself for running away instead of confronting Himena as a friend. She vows to stay by Himena&#039;s side, scold her, heal her, and stop her if she goes too far, because she is her best friend. Himena admits she couldn&#039;t press the kill switch because the Neo-Magius was still there, and she was overjoyed when Alexandra appeared. She agrees to stop but warns she might lose control again, but Alexandra and San promise to support her. Himena apologizes to Kyubey for not becoming a Witch, yet Kyubey is indifferent, having obtained the Automatic Purification System.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu senses Tsukuyo and Tsukasa approaching, and Mikage arrives with them, all frantic as there are only five minutes left. Himena interrupts, proposing a more effective way to break the suggestion by synthesizing magic. She combines Felicia&#039;s &amp;quot;Oblivion&amp;quot; and Mifuyu&#039;s &amp;quot;Hallucination&amp;quot; and infuses it into the Amane sisters&#039; flutes. Lavi and Nayuta arrive as well and Lavi uses her &amp;quot;Concept Strengthening&amp;quot; to boost the flute&#039;s power, aiming to make the press let the incident fade into obscurity. With seconds left, the Amane sisters play their enhanced flutes as the sun rises.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sixth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome recounts how the flute&#039;s sound enveloped Kamihama, making the events feel like a daydream. People forgot the details, but data proving the anomalies remained, creating many unanswered questions. Contrary to Himena&#039;s plan, the words &amp;quot;Magical Girl&amp;quot; were never uttered, and the Magical Girls, now in possession of all Kimochi Stones and knowledge to reclaim the Automatic Purification System, kept the truth secret. Kagome is scheduled to meet Tasuke again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the park, Himena internally apologizes to Hiko but decides to keep living for her friends. Shigure, Hagumu, San, and Miyuri discuss their next steps involve cleaning up the Community Center. San will move forward with the Youth Association to eventually revive the Fire Festival as an adult and Alexandra suggests Himena buy a new phone, as she threw the dangerous one away. Himena also decides to wait until her mother is less angry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At an arcade, Juri, Ranka, Ao, and Yuna share embarrassing stories from their time in Ao&#039;s soul space. Yuna gives Juri an envelope from Yachiyo, which contains a bill for a smashed window.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Crescent House, the girls return home, and Yachiyo confirms repairs are done and utilities are restored. She gave the invoice to Yuna for Juri. Tsuruno also arrives celebrating Banbanzai&#039;s reopening and her father&#039;s health. Iroha notes most families are safe. Felicia asks about Kanagi and Mitama, but Yachiyo states they are still missing, along with the Kimochi Stone of Grief, hindering the collection of all eight stones.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Puella Care&#039;s trailer, Livia complains about Yozuru&#039;s rough adjustments after being injured stopping Himena&#039;s trap, and they were unable to chase Kanagi and Mitama due to Livia&#039;s condition. Livia states they must find them themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Folklore&#039;s base, Kagome speaks with Tasuke, Lavi, Asahi, and Urara. Tasuke states the events in Kamihama were an indicator to test the universe&#039;s will. The minimal damage compared to Yukuni offers hope that past tragedies weren&#039;t inevitable. He notes Alexandra now sees a future with the Neo-Magius and declares he will resume trying to save Magical Girls, writing a second volume of his book with Nayuta&#039;s help, and also invites Kagome to assist. However, Tasuke feels an uneasy premonition, warning they cannot relax as their invisible enemy will strike when they forget.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside the hospital during the day, Kyubey approaches Kagome, sensing her wish is taking shape and offers to grant it. Kagome refuses for now, stating she will wish only when it can make Magical Girls smile, and keeps the nature of that wish a secret from Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On her own, Karin enters the Endless Mirrors to find Alina.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Seventh Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome, having witnessed the failure of the Neo-Magius&#039; plan and Himena&#039;s surrender, notes that all the Kimochi Stones are now gathered and the method to reclaim the Automatic Purification System is known. With the Magical Girls united and a period of quiet, she decides to conduct interviews to record their thoughts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac11&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 11: Reportage of Intersections|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 11: Reportage of Intersections]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Her first interview is with Promised Blood. Yuna explains that the members have returned to Futatsugi City but she frequently visits Kamihama to interact with other Magical Girls. She expresses a new desire to create a &amp;quot;brighter future,&amp;quot; a resolve strengthened by the strange, 14-year mental journey she, Juri, Hikaru, and Ao shared to save Ao. Yuna identifies this as a &amp;quot;sign&amp;quot; of change, evidenced by Juri&#039;s magic no longer running amok from stress. The interview is cut short when Juri arrives to inform Yuna that some Promised Blood members still target Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, confirming that not all conflicts are resolved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome next interviews the Tokime Clan and finds them conducting &amp;quot;social studies&amp;quot; at the 1090 building in Sakae Ward. Shizuka explains that to protect Japan and their wishes, the clan must understand the modern world to foresee the future. The interview quickly reverses as the clan members, overwhelmed by modern terms like &amp;quot;influencer&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;synergy,&amp;quot; appoint Kagome as their teacher and bombard her with questions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome then interviews Puella Care. Livia is exhausted from the increased workload with Mitama&#039;s absence. She notes the atmosphere between herself, Sudachi, and Yozuru has changed since they learned she lied about her past. Despite this, they remain with her. Livia states she will formally tell them the truth when the time is right. The interview then reverses, with Livia questioning Kagome about the Uwasa of the Wind Evangelist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Finally, Kagome interviews the Neo-Magius through Hagumu and Shigure. They reveal the faction was on the verge of disbandment after Himena&#039;s actions. However, Himena passionately persuaded the Feathers to stay, promising a softer approach to Magical Girl supremacy through analog methods like flyers, while maintaining their independence. Hagumu and Shigure speculate Himena&#039;s motive is efficiency, as the faction provides access to the Automatic Purification System.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After these interviews, all major factions receive a message from Lavi, summoning them to a presentation at the Kamihama Aquarium hosted by the Folklore of Zero.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Eighth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103204 abandon smartphone4.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Himena, believing her role in the conflict is over, goes to the harbor and throws her phone—which contained the backup for her nightmare-inducing device—into the sea. Unbeknownst to her, Mikoto Sena, using the powers of the Endless Mirrors, retrieves the phone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 11: The End of the Cycle of Joy and Sorrow|Arc 2, Chapter 11: The End of the Cycle of Joy and Sorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After the failure of Neo Magius&#039; plan, Kagome, moved by the peaceful time achieved by the united Magical Girls, decides to conduct interviews to preserve a record of their experiences and feelings. She visits the leaders of the major factions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome interviews Yuna Kureha of Promised Blood in a park. Yuna explains that most of her group returned to Futatsugi City but regularly visits Kamihama to interact with other Magical Girls. She reveals that some Promised Blood members still hold grudges against Kamihama Magical Girls, and she must go to persuade them. Before leaving, Yuna notes a significant change: Juri&#039;s magic, which was once unstable due to stress, has completely stopped its violent rampages. Yuna suggests this is a &amp;quot;sign&amp;quot; that they too can change.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome next attempts to interview the Tokime Clan in Sakae Ward. She finds Shizuka and her clan members conducting &amp;quot;social studies&amp;quot; to better understand the modern world and fulfill their mission to protect the Land of the Rising Sun. The session turns into an impromptu lesson where Kagome is pressured into answering the clan&#039;s questions about modern terminology like &amp;quot;influencer&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;synergy.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome then interviews Livia of Puella Care at their busy caravan. Livia explains that their services have become extremely popular, partly due to a Magical Girl&#039;s promotion. She notes a changed atmosphere between herself, Sudachi, and Yozuru, stemming from the two discovering Livia had concealed parts of her past. Livia states she will clarify things with them when the time is right. The interview reverses, and Livia questions Kagome about the origins of the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Wind Evangelist,&amp;quot; which Kagome reluctantly explains.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Finally, Kagome interviews Hagumu and Shigure of Neo-Magius. They reveal the organization was on the verge of dissolution after Himena&#039;s plan to kill non-allied Magical Girls was exposed, however, Himena passionately persuaded the members to stay, promising a softer, more analog approach to promoting Magical Girl supremacy. Hagumu and Shigure speculate Himena&#039;s motive was to maintain a usable asset, but they acknowledge it felt true to her character.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Immediately after the interviews, a message from Lavi summons the leaders of all major groups to the Kamihama Aquarium for a briefing on the Folklore of Zero and Yukuni City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha expresses doubt about her ability to protect everyone&#039;s feelings, especially with Touka and Nemu still in a coma. A reminder from Lavi announces a presentation by the Folklore of Zero group at the Kamihama Aquarium.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Kagome encounter Kyubey and Iroha demands the return of the Automatic Purification System. Kyubey refuses, stating that as long as Magical Girls reject becoming Witches, no compromise exists. Kagome expresses her desire to reveal the existence of Magical Girls to the public, believing it will lead to a kinder world, but Kyubey warns this could trigger a catastrophic reaction from the &amp;quot;Will of the Universe&amp;quot; theory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, at the Folklore of Zero meeting, the groups of Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, and the Neo-Magius are also present. Tasuke and the members of Folklore of Zero express their renewed hope after witnessing the peaceful resolution of conflicts in Kamihama. Tasuke apologizes for his previous belief that the only salvation for Magical Girls was erasure before they fell to despair. He requests that the Kamihama Magia Union accept his team, and the Union formally welcomes them as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia arrives and informs the group that Mitama and Kanagi are still missing. However, Sudachi has located them using the other Kimochi Stones, narrowing down their location to a particular beach. Livia, Yozuru, and Sudachi prepare to retrieve them, stating they require &amp;quot;darkness&amp;quot; for this mission and ask the others to stay behind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Iroha, Ui, and Mifuyu visit the comatose Touka and Nemu in the Satomi Medical Center. Their physical bodies are fully healed, but their minds remain unresponsive. They encounter Tasuke, who is being hospitalized for a medical examination at his brother&#039;s insistence, which makes Nayuta distress. Mifuyu also reveals that Karin has gone missing inside the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth, and search efforts have so far failed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the beach, Livia, Yozuru, and Sudachi find Mitama and Kanagi. The two Magical Girls are on the verge of becoming Witches, their souls entangled with grief after forcibly fusing it into themselves to resist the Kimochi Stone&#039;s control. They believe their return would only cause others pain, and Livia&#039;s team begins a dangerous Coordination procedure to save them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They first transmit the positive feelings and acceptance collected from the Magical Girls of Kamihama, which provides temporary relief. For a permanent cure, Livia decides they must contextualize Mitama and Kanagi&#039;s grief by showing them greater suffering. Livia begins to project her own traumatic past into their minds: her father&#039;s death, her abuse in an orphanage, her life as a runaway, her capture by human traffickers, and her eventual contract with Kyubey, where she wished to &amp;quot;become evil itself.&amp;quot; The process shows signs of working, as the roots of grief binding Mitama and Kanagi begin to loosen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia concludes the projection of her memories to Mitama and Kanagi. She recounts her life after her wish: her return to society, her struggle with a personal magic that passively brings misfortune to those she helps, and the tragic death of her social worker, at her own wedding. This final catastrophe leads Livia to a revelation from Kyubey that Magical Girls exist to generate energy to sustain the universe. She decides to live solely for this purpose, believing it will redirect the misfortune caused by her magic toward Kyubey and the universe itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Witnessing Livia&#039;s immense suffering provides Mitama and Kanagi with the perspective needed to contextualize their own grief. They resolve to &amp;quot;devour&amp;quot; their sorrows and use them as nourishment to move forward. This act of acceptance causes the Kimochi of Grief to manifest. Livia&#039;s team helps them subdue it. Mitama and Kanagi, now freed from their despair, return to Kamihama with the final Kimochi Stone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha Tamaki meets with the leaders of the other factions—the Kamihama Magia Union, Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, Folklore of Zero, and the Neo-Magius—to discuss the future. They all express a shared desire for a peaceful future without internal conflict. The arrival of Mitama and Kanagi with their Kimochi now completes the set of eight Kimochi Stones.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103302 leader field in.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* All the factions gather at the neutral zone in Chuo Ward. Iroha and Ui, with the support of all the leaders, communicate their resolve to the assembled Kimochi, promising a gentle future and gaining their trust one by one. The Kimochi Stones empower Iroha and Ui to locate and enter the realm of the Automatic Purification System.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside the Automatic Purification System, Iroha, Ui, the faction leaders, and Kagome enter the system&#039;s Labyrinth. They find it appears as a transparent version of the real world. Their goal is to reach the core and reconnect it to Iroha, Ui, and Lil&#039; Kyubey to reclaim it from Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* However, Kyubey reveals this was his plan all along. He&#039;d allowed them to enter with the Kimochi Stones so he could fuse with the system&#039;s concept while Iroha controls the Kimochi&#039;s energy, granting him total control over both the system and the power of the Witch Eve. He seizes Iroha and Lil&#039; Kyubey in Isolation Fields, rendering them unconscious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The faction leaders fight off Oscar Familiars generated by Kyubey while Ui senses that Iroha and the Kimochi have not given up. Iroha breaks free from Kyubey&#039;s control with the Kimochi&#039;s help, and despite Kyubey&#039;s warning that becoming the core could destroy her ego, Iroha, encouraged by the others, attempts to fuse with the core.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Endless Mirrors, Mikoto speaks to Alina, stating a cynical view that no one can be saved and that hope inevitably ends in despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin ventures deeper into the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth to find Alina, finding it unnaturally empty. A copy of Kaede appears and informs Karin that the ruler of the Labyrinth has been waiting for her. The copy presents Karin with a choice to either return to her friends or proceed to meet Alina and Mikoto Sena.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin chooses to find Alina and is taken to her, finding that she has allied with the spirit of Mikoto Sena. Alina reveals she has abandoned Karin&#039;s &amp;quot;Reformation Project&amp;quot; in favor of Mikoto&#039;s &amp;quot;Evolution Project,&amp;quot; which aligns with her belief that humanity unconsciously desires destruction. Mikoto proposes a challenge: if Karin journeys with them through history and still believes in hope, she will return Alina. Karin agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103203 andes puella.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikoto uses the mirrors to show Karin scenes from human history, each depicting cycles of destruction arising from malice, misguided goodwill, and systemic rejection, such as genocide, ritual sacrifice, religious wars, and gender-based conflict. She argues this proves hope inevitably turns to despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikoto then shows a story from Kamihama&#039;s own past: the tale of the Battle Shamanesses, Tsuyu Mizuna of the West and Chizuru of the East. Initially, their alliance brings peace and hope, uniting the East and West, however, the distrust and ambition of their fathers shatter this peace. A supposed peace conference is a trap, leading to betrayal and battle, and in the ensuing chaos, Chizuru&#039;s father has Tsuyu&#039;s father killed. When Tsuyu and Chizuru attempt to stop the fighting with a display of combined power, a hidden gunman working for Chizuru&#039;s father mortally wounds Tsuyu. Consumed by grief and betrayal, Tsuyu becomes a Witch cursing the East, cementing a cycle of hatred that would plague Kamihama for centuries. Mikoto presents this as a local example of hope yielding to despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Faced with this evidence, Karin counters that humanity is not purely destructive. She argues that the existence of hopeful stories in media and the current reunification of East and West in modern Kamihama prove that despair can also turn to hope. She asserts that human nature is a messy &amp;quot;gray,&amp;quot; not destined for a single outcome. Alina finds this perspective amusing and novel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikoto, motivated by her personal grudge, is not convinced. She declares the current situation in Kamihama—specifically, Iroha&#039;s attempt to reclaim the Automatic Purification System—will serve as the ultimate experiment to determine whether hope ends in despair or despair ends in hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Satomi Medical Center, Tasuke undergoes a medical examination at his brother&#039;s insistence. Tasuke confirms that the circumstances for Magical Girls are at a critical juncture, with the potential for them to be released from their destiny of becoming Witches. He reaffirms his intent to publish the truth about Magical Girls in his book, believing it is necessary for humanity to become kinder, and his brother now offers his support too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Within the Automatic Purification System&#039;s Labyrinth, Iroha&#039;s group witnesses all the Magical Girls outside the Labyrinth collapse simultaneously into unconscious, pained states, on the verge of becoming Witches. Kyubey also confirms the scene is real and not an illusion. Himena recognizes the phenomenon as identical to the nightmare-inducing trap she created but insists she had destroyed the device.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group deduces that the only way to save the Magical Girls in time is to reclaim the Automatic Purification System so they can summon Doppels instead of becoming Witches. However, Kyubey reveals he has hidden the system&#039;s core, forcing them to choose between searching for it or attempting to aid the dying Magical Girls directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha attempts to use her connection to Ui, the Kimochi, and Lil&#039; Kyubey to locate the core, but the Kimochi reject her. The Kimochi Stones transfer to Lavi, whose feelings of resignation and despair now align with theirs. Believing that any attempt to reveal Magical Girls to the world will be met with catastrophic retaliation from the universe, Lavi gains a new form and declares her new goal: to seize the Automatic Purification System and peacefully &amp;quot;save&amp;quot; all Magical Girls by euthanizing them before they can experience despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A battle ensues between Lavi, empowered by all eight Kimochi, and the faction leaders. Yuna, Shizuka, and Himena are swiftly defeated but succeed in protecting Iroha, Ui, and Lil&#039; Kyubey. Iroha heals the leaders, and they resolve to face Lavi together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They catch up to Lavi in the Hokuyo Ward area of the Labyrinth. After another failed direct assault, Himena uses her personal magic to synthesize the magic from the unconscious girls to momentarily incapacitate Lavi. She uses:&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta&#039;s magic, to make Lavi lose the will to fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage&#039;s Physical Collapse magic to make her body falter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra&#039;s relaxation magic to calm her down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, and Lil&#039; Kyubey use this opening to physically connect with her, entering a state of shared consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Lavi&#039;s heart, Iroha challenges her resignation, arguing that those who have truly given up do not fight like she is. She asserts that Lavi&#039;s desire to &amp;quot;save&amp;quot; Magical Girls through euthanasia proves she still holds a fragment of hope. Confronted with this and memories of her friends, Lavi admits she does not want to give up. This emotional shift causes the Kimochi to violently rebel against her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103304 connect iroha lavi.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Lavi offers Iroha the Kimochi, challenging her to subdue them with her feelings as a final test of whether hope can prevail. Iroha, with Ui and Lil&#039; Kyubey&#039;s support, accepts the Kimochi. She endures their torment and convinces them that Magical Girls are not yet defeated. The Kimochi cease their resistance and fully synchronize with Iroha. The connection ends, and the Kimochi Stones return to Iroha&#039;s bracelet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and the others are then immersed in a dream world where Ui, Touka and Nemu are alive, but none of their friends became Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Stardust Mirage|Stardust Mirage]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Ui begin their new life at Mikazuki Villa after their parents move overseas. On her first day of school, Iroha sits next to Rena Minami, and they discuss the meaning of true happiness. After a tentative start, Rena walks Iroha home with Kaede joining them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** That evening, Iroha asks the Villa residents about happiness. Yachiyo values her shelter work, Sana is grateful for her found family, and Ui is simply happy to be healthy. Iroha realizes she has time to find her own answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few weeks later, Iroha now walks to school daily with Rena and Kaede. While running an errand, they comfort Momoko, whose accidental confession led to a relationship. They celebrate at a maid cafe, where Iroha meets Ryo, a photographer who captures smiles. She sees many forms of happiness in the cafe&#039;s workers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** That evening, Iroha finds a lost girl named Shizuka and brings her to the Villa. That night, two runaways arrive: Nayuta, escaping her parents&#039; dysfunctional marriage, and Yuna, the mayor&#039;s overlooked daughter. After sharing their feelings, Nayuta reconciles with her arriving parents, and Yuna decides to confront her father directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next morning, the runaways depart. Later at school, rumors spread about a girl who fell from her building. Iroha visits Touka and Nemu at the hospital, where she learns the victim was a girl named Reira.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** That evening, Iroha calls her parents overseas, filled with gratitude. She resolves to cherish everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The following months, inspired by Ryo, Iroha begins photographing everyone&#039;s smiles. As troubled girls visit Mikazuki Villa, she becomes more counselor than shelter worker, meeting many people and documenting both joys and sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo investigate a rumor at Suitoku Temple. They meet Ryoko, the temple&#039;s protector, Sakuya, a runner with a suspended team, and Manaka, who has prayed for one hundred days for her family&#039;s failing restaurant, Walnut&#039;s. Iroha suggests they all eat there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha organizes a party at Walnut&#039;s to thank everyone who has helped her while promoting the restaurant. Many friends gather, share good news, and Iroha takes a group photo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days after the party, Touka and Nemu&#039;s conditions worsen before stabilizing, reminding Iroha of life&#039;s fragility. Walking home, she witnesses the same girl who bumped into her earlier fall to her death—Ren Isuzu, a bullying victim. Iroha is traumatized.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, unable to rest, Iroha visits Mizuna Shrine and meets Himena, who jokes about wishing for world peace. Iroha breaks down. Himena reveals her boyfriend was bullied to death and hints at something unforgivable, but tells Iroha to look forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Several days later, Himena exposes her boyfriend&#039;s bullies online, then announces her suicide. In a video to Iroha, she explains her choice and asks Iroha to create the happy future she envisions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha throws herself into volunteer work. One day, she encounters a feral girl named Felicia who snaps at her, then runs into traffic. Iroha pushes her to safety but is hit by a truck.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Iroha should be dead, but she is a Magical Girl. Through the Kimochi, she connects with the collective thoughts of Magical Girls, seeing the peaceful world they all long for, the world where they never made their contracts. Voices pour in: Yachiyo wishing for calm days, Yuna regretting bloodshed, Himena acknowledging she would be dead without her wish, Felicia grateful for Mikazuki&#039;s support, Touka and Nemu recognizing their wishes saved their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Ui reminds Iroha she would not be alive if she had not become a Magical Girl. Iroha understands that true happiness is connecting everyone&#039;s dreams and weaving a future that ends in hope. She chooses the present and returns to reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Lavi, now freed, apologizes and vows to work for a future where Magical Girls can live. The group reunites with the goal of taking back the Automatic Purification System. Ui, reflecting on Lavi&#039;s fears and the cryptic hypothesis from Touka and Nemu, comes to a realization. She concludes that even if Iroha reclaims the system, it may not be a complete solution. Resolving to ensure their success, Ui decides she must become the core of the Automatic Purification System herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, and Lavi confront Kyubey at the core, with Ui declaring she fully intends to become the new core of the system. However, Kyubey reveals he has achieved complete control over it. He explains that because all Kyubey bodies share a single consciousness, defeating the one fused with the core is meaningless; they would need to eliminate every Kyubey in the universe to sever his control, which is impossible. He also states he can now command the Kimochi Stones once they&#039;re released they are released.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui&#039;s attempt to attack the core Kyubey fails, as another body immediately replaces it. Faced with this impossible situation, Iroha and Lavi see no way to win.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth, Alina prepares to give the spirit of Mikoto to the incomplete Mirror Witch as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; which will allow Mikoto to become whole and enact her plan for ultimate destruction. Karin protests, but Alina makes a promise: if Mikoto succeeds in destroying Kamihama, Alina will believe humanity&#039;s future is despair and continue to pursue destruction. If Mikoto fails, Alina will believe in a future of happiness and follow Karin&#039;s &amp;quot;Reformation Project.&amp;quot; Alina then sends Karin away and proceeds with Mikoto&#039;s plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Within the Automatic Purification System, as hope seems lost, Kagome finally resolves to make a contract. She wishes for &amp;quot;the power to make Kyubey and his kind unable to interfere with the Automatic Purification System forever.&amp;quot; Her wish is granted, and she becomes a Magical Girl, now causing even Aru to manifest and speak with her directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103305 kagome birth1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Empowered by her wish, Kagome forces Kyubey&#039;s influence out of the Automatic Purification System. Kagome and Aru fly over Kamihama City, using her new magic to systematically locate and eliminate Kyubey&#039;s bodies within the city with her leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Kagome&#039;s wish takes effect, Mikoto leads Alina towards the center of Endless Mirrors, where she is to give Mikoto&#039;s persona to the Witch, and Mikoto will then bring forth ultimate destruction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome removes all of Kyubey from Kamihama and completely severs his ability to disrupt the purification system. Ui prepares to restore the Automatic Purification System to gather impurities from unconscious Magical Girls before they turn into Witches, making Doppels possible again. Iroha states that even the hypothetical &amp;quot;Will of the Universe&amp;quot; cannot stand against them, as Magical Girls sustain the universe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 12: Tying The Eternal Coloring|Arc 2, Chapter 12: Tying The Eternal Coloring]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside the Endless Mirrors, Alina and Mikoto find the incomplete Mirrors Witch, which, lacking a persona, knew nothing but fear and to tremble. Alina follows Mikoto&#039;s instructions and places her hand on the empty Winchester, transferring Mikoto&#039;s persona to the Witch. Mikoto and the Mirrors Witch, now one, awakens fully and happily declares that she will no longer have to see the faces of those who mourn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia, Yozuru, and others arrive to Iroha&#039;s location with the hurt faction leaders and the necessary Grief Seeds to help them. Despite their injuries, Yuna and Shizuka urge Iroha to prioritize activating the system.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, and Lil&#039; Kyubey unite to channel the energy from the Kimochi Stones and spread the Automatic Purification System&#039;s barrier worldwide. However, their attempt is blocked by a powerful Witch, quickly identified by Lavi and Iroha as originating from the Endless Mirrors. Kyubey also appears and confirms the Witch&#039;s interference is to blame, even allowing him to bypass the recently established barrier of the purification system.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Familiars from Endless Mirrors appear and target Ui specifically. Livia, Lavi, and the others defend her while Iroha performs emergency healing on the injured Yuna and Shizuka. Kagome also arrives, having redirected herself after jumping skyward after her contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103301 littleqb kill1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The group confirms the Mirror Witch has engulfed Kamihama City in its Labyrinth, disabling the Automatic Purification System&#039;s barrier. Kagome then realizes she may have inadvertently triggered the Witch&#039;s attack; in the past, she signed a mysterious oath with an Endless Mirrors Familiar to &amp;quot;destroy all Magical Girls.&amp;quot; Kyubey states that by breaking this oath and becoming a Magical Girl herself, Kagome gave the Witch an opportunity to act. However, Iroha rejects Kyubey&#039;s attempt to place blame on Kagome and reaffirms their goal to defeat the Witch. Iroha, Ui, and the Lil&#039; Kyubey attempt to fuse again to channel the Kimochi Stones&#039; power to reactivate the system.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* As they&#039;re mourning, Karin arrives and reveals Alina and Mikoto Sena are responsible for the Mirror Witch&#039;s attack. She explains that merging Mikoto&#039;s persona with the Witch completed its form, and its goal is to create a time paradox to annihilate the universe. Kyubey also confirms that a paradox would destroy the world. Lavi urges Iroha and Ui to fight, and they resolve to create a miracle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Satomi Medical Center, Touka&#039;s father notes several unconscious girls, including Mitsune and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group devises a plan to destroy all the small mirrors to break the barrier around a large central mirror, which they believe contains the Witch. They split into teams and use the power of the Kimochi Stones, with the recipients being Iroha, Ui, Kagome, Shizuka, Yuna, Himena, Lavi, and Livia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin declines to join the teams, stating she has a personal task. Kagome uses her magic and Aru&#039;s clones to gather information and track enemies. The teams destroy mirrors through the night, as they identify Mirror copies by testing magical signatures and personal knowledge about the girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Himena, blaming herself for the unconscious Magical Girls, resolves to go to the Puella Care caravan and use her unique magic to synthesize the powers of seven specific girls: Hotori Yuzuki, Rion Yuzuki, Yuuna Kaharu, Meguru Hibiki, Ashley Taylor, Sasara Minagi, and Hikaru Kirari, even though it risks her life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Ui save Himena from Familiars, allowing her to focus on the synthesis. Himena retrieves the seven magics and transfers Meguru&#039;s &amp;quot;live commentary&amp;quot; magic to Iroha. She instructs Iroha to use it to power up both allies and enemies as part of her strategy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia, Yozuru, and Sudachi find the original Labyrinth at the Mirrors Manor destroyed. They see copies recycling energy toward the giant mirror and destroy a Familiar that was about to become a Witch. Livia theorizes the giant mirror may not be the Witch&#039;s true location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha begins her live commentary. Himena uses the synthesized magic in sequence: Hotori&#039;s &amp;quot;heroic introduction&amp;quot; to stun her enemies, Rion&#039;s &amp;quot;binding&amp;quot; to lock their movements, and Yuuna&#039;s &amp;quot;submission&amp;quot; to pacify them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* However, Iroha&#039;s commentary strengthens the Witches, allowing them to break free. Himena uses Sasara&#039;s &amp;quot;provoke&amp;quot; and Hikaru&#039;s &amp;quot;devotion&amp;quot; to face them, then uses Ashley&#039;s &amp;quot;switch&amp;quot; magic to turn the Witches&#039; amplified power against themselves, destroying the barrier mirrors but greatly exhausting herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome notes the Familiars show no distress and Lavi reports a second barrier is in place. Yozuru&#039;s team reports that energy is being funneled into the giant mirror, theorizing it is the weapon intended to cause the paradox. An Aru clone relays to Lavi that the Mirror Witch&#039;s true plan is to travel to the past to prevent human evolution, erasing humanity, which Kyubey also confirms. Lavi entrusts Karin with delivering the Aru clone, which holds this intelligence, back to the main group.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group splits: Shizuka, Himena, and Yuna will assault the mirror; Iroha and Ui will stay behind, with Iroha healing the sleeping girls and Ui gathering energy for a final attack; Kagome is sent to retrieve Touka and Nemu from the hospital.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako arrives at the hospital to get Touka and Nemu, and Tasuke and Touka&#039;s father help her transport them to a car.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia, Yozuru, Sudachi, and Lavi infiltrate the enemy ranks using Livia&#039;s Coordination magic. They confront copies of Livia and Lavi who command the energy delivery. Both Livia and Lavi fail to interrogate their copies and are forced to defeat their copies. However, their emotional outbursts alert the Familiars, nullifying their disguises.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha heals the unconscious girls but is forced to experience their nightmares of dystopian futures where Magical Girls are persecuted. As Iroha experiences more nightmares, Karin and Ui snap her out of it, and Karin leaves to help Kagome.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, Shizuka, and Himena arrive to save the overwhelmed Livia and Lavi. Their joined team shatters the final barrier around the giant mirror.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Ui prepare to destroy the mirror. Ui gathers energy from the shattered mirrors, and Iroha plans to combine it with Touka and Nemu&#039;s magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako and Kagome fight Familiars ambushing the transport car and the car explodes. Tasuke and Touka&#039;s father are mortally wounded but protected the girls&#039; Soul Gems. As Tasuke and Touka&#039;s father die, Tasuke gives Kagome a pen for Nayuta, and Sakurako and Kagome continue with taking Touka and Nemu to Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the barrier reforming, Iroha and Ui combine their powers without Touka and Nemu. Iroha fires the gathered energy at the giant mirror and destroys it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome and Sakurako arrive too late for the attack, revealing the deaths of Tasuke and Touka&#039;s father.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103302 caught ui2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Suddenly, as Ui starts to gether more energy, the spectral hand of the Mirror Witch appears, seizes Ui&#039;s Soul Gem and disappears. Simultaneously, Sakurako, whose existence is tied to Ui, Touka, and Nemu, vanishes. Iroha deduces that this means that Ui is really dead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey informs the others that the Mirror Witch has taken control of the Automatic Purification System, before he deactivates. Iroha falls into despair over Ui&#039;s death. Kagome comforts her, and Iroha resolves to move forward to honor Ui&#039;s memory and their bonds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Lavi, Shizuka, Yuna, Himena, and Livia arrive. The group acknowledges their catastrophic situation and comforts Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yozuru, Sudachi, and Karin arrive. Yozuru reports they turned the copies of Riko and Mikage to their side. Karin reveals she stole a hand mirror from a Familiar, which the copies identify as a device that can travel to the recent past. Iroha proposes using the mirror to go back to when Ui and Lil&#039; Kyubey were alive to save them. The group agrees and moves to Hokuyo Ward where they attempted the fusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha senses the Witch growing stronger by absorbing energy from Magical Girls turning into Witches as disasters erupt across Kamihama. Alina stops the group and takes Karin, stating she will observe. Karin gives Iroha the hand mirror. Alina reflects on her past and her artistic philosophy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group encounters a horde of Magical Girls subsumed by their Doppels. Shizuka, Yuna, Himena, and Lavi stay behind to hold them off, urging Iroha, Kagome, Livia, Yozuru, and Sudachi to go on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, Shizuka, Himena, and Lavi perish in the battle. Their spirits bequeath their power to Yachiyo through her unique magic. Yachiyo uses this power to share strength with Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana, freeing them temporarily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the system entrance, Livia, Yozuru, and Sudachi betray Iroha and seize the hand mirror, declaring their allegiance to the Witch. However, Livia&#039;s group was faking the betrayal to draw the Witch&#039;s attack through Livia&#039;s unique magic. They sacrifice themselves to absorb the fatal blow meant for Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103303 last mikazuki.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Kagome are besieged by the horde, but Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana arrive and hold them back, urging Iroha to take their hope into the future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Riko and Mikage copies set up the hand mirror. Touka and Nemu contact Iroha telepathically, warning that retrieving Ui and Lil&#039; Kyubey would create a paradox. They propose sending a record of their experiences back instead. Aru produces a leaf with the record.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103303 leaf irohahand2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The magic sustaining the copies breaks with Yozuru and Sudachi&#039;s deaths. The Riko and Mikage copies revert, destroying the hand mirror. Iroha is left with no options and prays for a happy future. The leaf glows and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina declares the scene to be fine art. Karin resolves to fight, and Alina joins her, naming Karin a &amp;quot;Brilliant Girl&amp;quot; and declaring the final battle begun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Timeline B===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nine hours earlier, at 6 PM.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A leaf imbued with Kagome&#039;s magic appears before Iroha and Ui, transmitting a vision of the future timeline showing Lil&#039; Kyubey&#039;s death, the sacrifices of their friends, and Iroha&#039;s despair. They comprehend the message as a record from the previous timeline, and Iroha realizes a copy of herself kills Lil&#039; Kyubey, and the group resolves to change the future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1800.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Adv eve 11711.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The faction leaders defend Lil&#039; Kyubey and Ui to prevent the catastrophic future, and Iroha, Ui, and Lil&#039; Kyubey successfully fuse together into Infinite Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt; Iroha, Ui and Lil&#039; Kyubey&#039;s minds are then pulled in a world created by the Kimochi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;InfiniteIrohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Infinite Iroha#Side Story|Infinite Iroha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha wakes at Mikazuki Villa on a Friday, where Yachiyo reminds her that Magical Girls no longer need to fight thanks to the Automatic Purification System. After school, she meets with Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, and they encounter various familiar faces around the city, including members of the Tokime Clan and Promised Blood at the Coordinator&#039;s shop. Iroha feels relieved seeing everyone at peace, believing in Kamihama&#039;s future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;InfiniteIrohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next morning at the villa, everyone except Iroha, Ui, and Lil&#039; Kyubey suddenly freezes in place. The wind and clouds continue moving, but all people have stopped. Investigating, they realize they need to go to Hotel Fendt Hope. In the hotel basement, they find Touka and Nemu, who explain that looking backward toward the past stops all motion while living requires moving forward—everyone became trapped in memories. Before they can explain more, their time stops as well, and the world itself begins freezing. The Kimochi appear, and Iroha understands they are inside a world created by them, seeing the happiness of all Magical Girls. Realizing she and Ui have also stopped, trapped by the warmth of the future they envisioned, they resolve together to set the future in motion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;InfiniteIrohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha wakes in a world within their hearts, where all their friends gather for a picnic under the Eternal Sakura. Iroha clarifies she does not want the exact same days to continue, but she wants to move forward and bring this future into reality. Understanding that this ideal world is the result of the powers of herself, the Kimochi, Ui, Lil&#039; Kyubey, are flowing together, she hopes it becomes real.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;InfiniteIrohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Iroha reflects on how becoming one with Ui, Lil&#039; Kyubey, and the Kimochi allows her to experience everyone&#039;s memories. Feeling nostalgic, she looks back on their journey, beginning with the aftermath of defeating the Uwasa. When the group investigated what became of the original Rumors, they found that while the Rumors themselves were gone, they had persisted as mere folklore without any lasting magical influence. This realization left everyone with mixed feelings, but Iroha understood that facing the past enabled them to see the future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;vib&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Vibrant Miracle|Vibrant Miracle]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** After recovering Ui from the Magius, the group worked to expand the Automatic Purification System until Nemu was kidnapped by former Wings members who had chosen to die with their ideals. Iroha realized that even shared feelings could lead to conflict over differing approaches. Though they tried to convince the former Wings to join them in peacefully pursuing the Magius&#039; goals, the bonds formed during this conflict became the foundation for the Kamihama Magia Union, expanding the circle of magical girls despite the fighting that erupted from their misunderstandings.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;vib&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** As magical girls gathered in Kamihama over the Automatic Purification System, conflict erupted over the Kimochi Stones, though this period also brought new friendships with girls like Shizuka and Kagome. During a pause in the fighting, everyone anticipated the All Gods Festival, whose final firework was said to grant a year of health and peace. When the firework fell into the river, Lil&#039; Kyubey protected it, saving the celebration. Grateful, Iroha resolved to fulfill the blessing Lil&#039; Kyubey preserved: that everyone might live in peace and good health.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;vib&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** After the festival, the battles continued with much sorrow. Iroha recalls a strange, dreamlike memory of receiving an invitation to a banquet at Suitoku Temple, where everyone practiced entertainment acts. Despite the embarrassing performances, a heavenly voice encouraged them not to let suffering defeat them, explaining that they lived in a universe without predetermined destiny where they could sculpt their own future. Though forgotten, those kind words remained in Iroha&#039;s heart, inspiring her to push through pain and create a future where everyone can be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;vib&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Iroha tells Lil&#039; Kyubey that despite all the hardships they&#039;ve faced together, every difficulty ultimately led to hope. With the futures of all magical girls who connected with the Kimochi flowing through her, each one hoping for salvation, she affirms that they must spread the Automatic Purification System worldwide and keep these hopes shining like stars. As she&#039;s swept up in everyone&#039;s thoughts, Iroha wishes for the visions ahead to be of a happy world overflowing with hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;vib&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1799.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in reality, Iroha thanks the others for handling the Mirror copies. Ui&#039;s form appears ghostly, with Lil&#039; Kyubey acting as their link. The group resolves to assault the Mirrors Mansion, when Touka and Nemu appear, reuniting with Iroha and Ui. They explain they transformed into Uwasa Queens to evade the Will of the Universe, lying dormant until Iroha gathered the Kimochi Stones and Ui recaptured the Automatic Purification System. They now operate by parasitizing Iroha and Ui&#039;s magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Mirror Witch&#039;s forces retreat toward the Puella Care trailer, and Touka and Nemu deduce the Witch anticipates their strategy, which requires the power of the sleeping Magical Girls. Iroha expands her wings to transport the group there at high speed. Upon arrival, Touka and Nemu announce they will transform all the sleeping Magical Girls into Uwasa to liberate them from their nightmares and permanently prevent them from becoming Witches. Iroha instructs Kagome to share the memories with everyone upon awakening, and Touka and Nemu activate their power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As the girls awaken in their Uwasa forms, Mirror Witch offshoots advance on the group. As all the girls have awakened, the newly awakened Rumor Magical Girls reunite with their factions, while Livia announces her group will fight the Witch separately. Yachiyo confirms everyone understands the situation thanks to Kagome&#039;s shared memories and Iroha rallies the coalition to enter the Mirrors Mansion and stop the Witch from altering the past.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The coalition fights to stem the invasion of Familiars and copies, and Touka and Nemu forge the collective magic into a single arrow for Iroha to use. Iroha strikes first, addressing the Witch and Mikoto directly, and her attack causes the Mirror Witch&#039;s Labyrinth to manifest around them. Magical Girls report sensations of their bodies being cut apart and an intense gravitational force immobilizes most of the coalition. Initial attacks prove ineffective, and they notice an invisible barrier that blocks strikes and drains magic. Iroha instructs Touka to convert the Witch&#039;s own magic, making the invisible defense visible as shards of glass. She then instructs everyone to target and destroy the shards to weaken the Witch and launch a counteroffensive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Mikoto game over.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The Witch&#039;s defensive barrier breaks, and the Witch&#039;s true form is revealed as Winchester. Iroha announces a plan to gather the Witch&#039;s magic and power from beyond the Mirrors for a final attack, and the coalition divides to target the Witch&#039;s limbs, with the factions each attacking one of the four limbs, while the Magia Union, led by Yachiyo, prepares to confront the Witch&#039;s main head.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Offshoot Witches appear to guard the limbs. Touka and Nemu instruct Kagome to use her Interview Records, infusing the coalition with the magic of numerous Magical Girls to strengthen them for the assault. Each group successfully immobilizes their respective limb after being powered up by their [[Interview Records]].&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103304 mirror witch appear2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo confirms all groups have bound the Witch&#039;s limbs and orders the Union to contain the main body until Iroha is ready. As the Witch attacks Iroha, Alina intervenes and saves her by engulfing Iroha into her own Labyrinth. Alina pledges to protect Iroha to witness humanity&#039;s defiance, as she now realizes she finds life struggling against death to be the answer she was looking for. Iroha accepts Karin and Alina&#039;s alliance and resolves to erase the Witch&#039;s curse with her team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha confronts Mikoto Sena&#039;s self directly, who believes Magical Girls are inherently tragic despite what Iroha claims. Mikoto&#039;s memories begin to fragment and she attacks Iroha again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103304 puella gather.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The initial assault by Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu fails to defeat the Witch, leaving them drained and vulnerable. As the Witch prepares another attack, the Uwasa of the Wind Evangelist reveals she&#039;s travelled through the Mirror Labyrinths to summon help. Magical Girls from countless other timelines and universes begin to arrive through the Mirrors to aid in the battle. Now several Magical Girls from different points in time and space fight the Mirror Witch through the mirrors it formed to cause paradoxes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt; Among others, the girls in the fight include: &lt;br /&gt;
** [[Oriko Mikuni]] and [[Kirika Kure]] from present-day Mitakihara. It is likely that Oriko, having seen visions of the Mirror Witch, had also somewhat organized and lead this attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** [[Darc]] and [[Liz Hawkwood]] from 15th century France.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** [[Kazumi Subaru]] and [[Umika Misaki]] from present-day Asunaro City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** [[Suzune Amano]], [[Haruka Kanade]] and [[Matsuri Hinata]] from Hohzuki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha instructs Kagome to coordinate the allies and Touka declares they must destroy the crossing Mirrors after the Witch&#039;s defeat to erase the paradoxes. Mikoto summons a horde of Familiars and Witches from her mirrors and Rena, Momoko, and Kaede lead the defense against them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina intervenes again to protect Iroha from Mikoto&#039;s attacks, and Touka, Ui, and Nemu gather and channel energy from the multiversal Magical Girls. Shizuka, Yuna, Himena, and Lavi announce the defeat of Mikoto&#039;s Familiar army. Iroha delivers the final declaration and unleashes the collective hope of all Magical Girls as their final attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103304 phantom puella.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha confronts the true nature of the Mirror Witch, a fusion of Mikoto and countless other Magical Girls from across history who succumbed to despair, including Chizuru. Iroha vows to use present hope to rewrite this history of despair, and in the conflict, Mikoto urges Iroha to show her the hope she speaks of. The Mirror Witch then merges with Iroha, transferring its entire history of curses and sorrow into her. Iroha witnesses the vast tapestry of Magical Girl suffering across time and space. She also sees the pivotal moment in her own life: in nearly every other timeline, she died in a car accident. Her survival was a fluke caused by an unintentional act of time travel from another Magical Girl. This reveals her unique magic is not healing, but instead the power to rewind time for a target.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Mirror Witch and all the mirrors disappear. Iroha announces that as part of the miracle she promised Mikoto, she will rewind every Magical Girl transformed into an Uwasa back into their original forms and fully establish the Automatic Purification System. Her friends recognize the danger and protest, but Iroha insists on this path despite the fact that overuse of her magic will be too much and erase Iroha&#039;s very existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One by one, the leaders, members of the various factions, and her close friends all thank her and bid her a tearful farewell as she disappears, promising to protect the future she created and await her return. As Iroha&#039;s physical form begins to fade and she loses the ability to speak or be seen, she shares a final, private moment with Ui, Touka, and Nemu, who join her. They resolve to use the vast energy now at their disposal to expand the Automatic Purification System across the world as the first step toward creating a kinder world for Magical Girls and all people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103304 four system.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Labyrinth of the Doppel System, high above Earth, Iroha, Ui, Lil&#039; Kyubey, Touka, Nemu, Sakurako, and Mikoto watch over the world as the curses of the Mirror Witch finally subside, having demonstrated her ultimate miracle and secured a hopeful future for Magical Girls all around the globe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Epilogue===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome narrates that the Automatic Purification System spread worldwide, and Magical Girls were saved from their fate. Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu disappeared from general memory, recalled only very vaguely by most people, though Magical Girls remember them clearly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome visits Karin at Sakae Academy to discuss the disappearance of Alina. Karin reveals that Alina has dropped out of school and left the country to fulfill a promise to her, referencing the plan to reform. Alina sends Karin a message from her destination, challenging her to create &amp;quot;antidote&amp;quot; art to counter Alina&#039;s own &amp;quot;poison.&amp;quot; The message includes a video titled &amp;quot;The Sun...?&amp;quot; which shows a giant LED light in a forest at night, a scene Karin identifies as a battlefield.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group known as Folklore of Zero has effectively disbanded, with its members now acting as a circle of close friends who have effectively joined different factions. Kagome is also in the process of writing a book to document the events of the Kamihama Magical Girls and the final battle, presumably [[Puella Magi Diarium]].&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103305 nayutafamily.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome visits Nayuta&#039;s house to discuss the book&#039;s structure. She finds Lavi performing housework and Professor Tasuke, who has forgotten Iroha, present for a memory-refreshing session. Mikage arrives and aggressively questions Kagome about when the book and the truth about Magical Girls will be made public. Tasuke and Kagome explain the book requires significant revision and a carefully considered narrative structure. Tasuke outlines a long-term strategy to reveal the truth, comparing it to the gradual spread of folklore or the step-by-step process of an introductory text. He estimates it will take ten to twenty years for the full story of the Magical Girls to be delivered to the public.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome observes the Neo-Magius and their Feathers in a state of frantic activity. They are searching for and destroying evidence related to a construction incident where the main hall&#039;s ceiling collapsed, for which they accept responsibility. Himena explains that she and Hiko created a lecture series to help the Feathers discover their positive qualities and boost their self-esteem. The initiative has shown success, with members like Hagumu feeling more valued for her skills in clothing and acting. However, Miyuri&#039;s fixation on photographing legs remains a problematic, unpraiseworthy behavior. Alexandra also informs Himena she will be unavailable to help with a future class, as she will be in Yukuni City with Lavi and other members of the former Folklore of Zero.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome observes the Tokime Clan in a state of excited chaos as they plan a visit to Minaminagi Park. Ryouko teases Shizuka with exaggerated descriptions of theme park rides, which alarms her. Sunao apologizes for the noise and confirms the group plans to visit the park for fun before returning to Tokime Village, and that Sunao has marked every concession stand on a park map. Asahi practices with a marksmanship tool that Chika suggests will be useful for her work as a nature guide. Shizuka reveals that the current meeting is a rehearsal for their actual trip the following day, demonstrating their high level of enthusiasm for the outing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* While some members of Promised Blood who held a strong hatred for Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls never change their mind, others develop a sense of camaraderie through their past battles and visit the city on occasion. Kagome encounters Yuna in Kamihama, who explains she is chaperoning Ao and Ranka, not meeting with the Union. Yuna appears more tired than before, despite having fewer responsibilities. Hikaru and Juri are present and their outings often involve trouble, which has resulted in them breaking a boxing arcade machine. Ao and Ranka are engaged in a competitive video game tournament and their strategy is to win tickets to a future tournament with free accommodations, which Ao hopes will serve as a family trip for the group. Yuna, encouraged by the idea, cheers them on and Ao almost calls Yuna &amp;quot;Mom&amp;quot; before catching herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103305 puellacare.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The three members of Puella Care prepare to leave Kamihama City to help Magical Girls in other regions as part of their journey to redemption. Kyubey goes with them, as Livia insists on living for his mission rather than for the universe. Mitama and Kanagi choose to remain in Kamihama to maintain the student conference and support their many friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, a sense of peace and gratitude for Iroha&#039;s actions settles over the Magical Girls, though a feeling of loneliness for the lost friends remains. The girls frequently gather under the Eternal Sakura tree, where they sense a flow of magical impurities being purified and feel Iroha&#039;s presence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103305 mikazuki.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Yachiyo, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia hold a picnic under the Eternal Sakura. They feel a strong connection to Iroha and Ui, who communicate with them briefly. Iroha explains that she, Ui, Touka, and Nemu are busy managing the records of Magical Girls from the past but will reunite with everyone someday. Iroha states that the place where the records are gathered is called the &amp;quot;Magia Record,&amp;quot; and that the future publication of Kagome&#039;s book about Magical Girls may one day guide them all back together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Unknown Placement==&lt;br /&gt;
These events are known to have taken at some point before Arc 2&#039;s conclusion, but their placement is uncertain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kimochi Raids===&lt;br /&gt;
The Kimochi Raids are a number of fights which could have happened at many points during the story. The documented cases are listed below, however it isn&#039;t verifiable whether they took place during the placement of their events, or even if they were the only ones. The first documented Kimochi Raids take place before Kagome makes her contract and it is also presumed that they stopped once the Kimochi were integrated into the Automatic Purification System. Only the first encounter has a story accompanying to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hollow copies of the Kimochi start to appear throughout Kamihama. They do not drop their main Kimochi Stones anymore, but they do drop fragments of crystals, which the Magical Girls find can be used in Coordination. In the order they were recorded in, they are:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Joyful - Sapphire Lips:&#039;&#039;&#039; Team Mikazuki encounter a copy of the Kimochi, which they note looks identical to the one Iroha has on her bracelet, but its magic pattern is different. Touka explains that these Kimochi are fragments of the giant Witch Eve, which scattered impurities after its defeat. When impurities exceed a certain level, they form a Kimochi. The group decides to study and fight this new enemy. Kagome wonders that if the Kimochi existed earlier, other Magical Girls must have fought them without knowing about the stones or even fragments, which can be used in Spirit Enhancement by Coordinators.&lt;br /&gt;

===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Emiri===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Emiri arrives early to meet her friends at the mall, but while waiting she overhears classmates complaining that she can be loud and annoying. Hurt by their words, she runs away in tears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaemiri&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Emiri Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Emiri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When her friends find her, Emiri asks if they think she&#039;s annoying. Hinano honestly admits that she can be sometimes, causing Emiri to break down despite the others quickly adding that it is part of her charm. Before they can comfort her properly, the group senses a powerful Witch nearby and moves to fight it. Emiri insists she is fine to battle, but her distraction causes her to fight poorly, and after the Witch is defeated, she collapses from a nearly corrupted Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaemiri&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri finds herself in a void speaking with a shadowy version of herself, which questions whether she would rather give up being herself entirely than risk annoying people. Remembering her friends&#039; kindness, she realizes that even if she can be bothersome at times, there are those who accept her as she is. She accepts herself completely, though she vows to improve when she is older.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaemiri&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri awakens to her relieved friends, who are simply glad she is alright despite missing their planned buffet. On the way home, she encounters the same classmates and apologizes for being too loud during the lesson. They clarify they were upset because a teacher scolded her, not because of her behavior, and they ask for another lesson. Emiri happily agrees, and when Hinano expresses surprise at her self-awareness, Emiri claims she is growing up a little more each day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaemiri&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Sudachi===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi trains as a Coordinator while living with Livia and Yozuru, but she struggles with her fractions lessons and notices Livia has been distracted by responsibilities in Kamihama. Seeking to cheer her up, Sudachi consults Mikage, who suggests demonstrating real growth as a Coordinator would please Livia most.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitasudachi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Sudachi Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Sudachi]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sudachi successfully performs her first emotion fragment adjustment for clients, a task she had previously avoided to receive Livia&#039;s attention, but the achievement feels hollow. Partnering with Mikage, she investigates the Kamihama Magia Union by approaching former Neo-Magius members and offering free adjustments, learning that the Union operates with a small core group while most members focus on self-preservation. Their activities draw suspicion from hostile Magical Girls who accuse them of breaching neutrality, but Sudachi asserts herself until Juri intervenes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitasudachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning late past her study time, Sudachi faces Livia&#039;s anger and momentarily flees. Livia tracks her down and reveals her frustration stems not from anger but from concern over her own inadequate teaching. Having learned of Sudachi&#039;s accomplishments through others, Livia praises her and motivates her to master fractions with the promise of more praise. Sudachi solves the problems correctly, and they prepare together for her upcoming visit to her parents&#039; home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitasudachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Flower That Blooms in a Hollow Heart===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuuna invites Chika, Hotori, Rion, and Yukika to dinner and proposes forming a team to search for the Kimochi gems, which she believes grant the power to guide people to salvation. She wants one to become like the saint she admires. The group accepts, though Chika privately knows the truth about the gems and asks Shizuka to keep an eye on them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hollow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Flower That Blooms in a Hollow Heart|The Flower That Blooms in a Hollow Heart]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They begin investigating by questioning magical girls around the city, though their methods are haphazard. They encounter Shigure and Hagumu, who follow them silently, and Ranka Chizu, who warns that asking about the Kimochi invites bloodshed. Yukika eventually suggests visiting Mitama, where Mifuyu explains the gems&#039; connection to the automatic purification system. That evening, Yukika urges everyone to stay together for safety. Yuuna is willing to continue alone if necessary, but Chika&#039;s troubled expression makes her change her mind, and she decides they should spend the next day together instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hollow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuuna takes them to an amusement park to relax. Chika confesses she has been spying for the Tokime Tribe and apologizes, but they do not mind and are happy to be friends with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hollow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they head home, Yukika asks about the saint who inspired Yuuna, and she describes being saved from a witch by someone who descended from the heavens with a gentle smile, using a pure white bell and muskets. Chika and Yukika realize she means Mami Tomoe, a normal magical girl. When Yuuna walks in on their discussion, she asks if it is a joke, and their silence sends her running away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hollow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuuna broods in her room, feeling guilty for dragging everyone into a meaningless search. If she misunderstood, then everything she lived for has been an illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hollow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a cafe, the group discusses how to help her. Rion recalls meeting Mami before becoming a magical girl and describes her as gentle and cool, like an ally of justice. Chika forms an idea. Meanwhile, Yuuna remains in her room until her parents&#039; concern and a flood of messages from Chika draw her outside. Chika gives her dried persimmons and asks about her pain. Yuuna admits she feels hollow and does not know what to believe anymore. Chika cannot answer her difficult questions but refuses to leave her in a slump, asking Yuuna to trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hollow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They take a train to Mitakihara. As they walk through the city, they encounter a witch barrier. Inside, Yuuna runs ahead upon seeing a mother and daughter in danger, but her tainted soul gem makes her too slow. Mami appears and destroys the witch with a Tiro Finale. Yuuna recognizes her saint and hides, ashamed. Chika explains that Mami fights day and night to protect everyone. Yuuna confesses she has always been empty. Her family&#039;s prosperity gave her everything without effort, leaving her with nothing worth living for. The saint&#039;s light reached her, and she believed becoming like her would fill the void. Now she knows it was a misunderstanding and feels undeserving of Chika&#039;s friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hollow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before she can leave, Yukika, Rion, and Hotori tumble out of hiding. They had been spying to help find Mami. Rion tells Yuuna her emptiness has nothing to do with her value as a friend. If she is empty, she just needs to fill that void. Chika assures her a flower can bloom anywhere. Yuuna asks if they will still accompany her, and everyone says yes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hollow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Chika reports to Shizuka that the team has stopped looking for the gems. They just do not need them anymore.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hollow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At St. Lilliana, Yuuna meets with Rion and Hotori. Her new objective is to better herself to get closer to the saint, even if she does not know how and might fail. She thanks them for staying with her. She will work hard, so she asks Mami-sama to look after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hollow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Unknown Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The night before the waterpark trip, several members of the Holy Quintet experience strange dreams. Homura dreams of herself and Nagisa going down a waterslide together. Kyoko and Mami dream of striking heroic poses in swimsuits. Nagisa dreams of being surrounded by zombies. Mami dreams of a fireworks show and a family enjoying them together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Unknown Story ~ The Midsummer Magic and Tomorrow&#039;s Memories ~|Unknown Story ~ The Midsummer Magic and Tomorrow&#039;s Memories ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning of the waterpark trip, Nagisa writes in her diary about the upcoming trip to a new waterpark. She had asked Mami to accompany her because her friend Manatsu and Manatsu&#039;s family were going. At a restaurant, they coincidentally met Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, who also planned to visit the same waterpark. Kyoko joined them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that morning, the group gathers at the train station. On the train, they discover that Madoka and Homura shared the same dream, causing them to arrive late. Sayaka dreamed of receiving an urgent message from Nagisa and losing contact. Nagisa dreamed of being attacked by zombies at the pool. Kyoko&#039;s dream was simply striking poses with Mami.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Homura are startled to find the pool matches their dreams exactly. Nagisa and Kyoko, both unable to swim, brought matching floaties. They meet Manatsu&#039;s family, including her parents and little sister. Nagisa runs off to play with the sister, leaving her phone behind. The adults split into search parties and locate the children at the kids&#039; pool. Manatsu&#039;s mother mentions their work at an observatory and their excitement for the evening&#039;s fireworks. Mami recognizes their voices from her dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa reveals that Manatsu told her about a similar dream where Manatsu&#039;s family and the girls watched fireworks, but Manatsu herself was absent. Kyoko senses magical energy from the indoor pool building. Before they can investigate, Homura reports that Madoka and Sayaka vanished upon entering that building. Mami and Kyoko rush there, leaving Nagisa with Homura.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura asks Nagisa to point out Manatsu, but Homura sees only the parents and little sister. A Witch barrier engulfs the park. Manatsu vanishes, and visitors under a Witch&#039;s Kiss march toward the indoor pool.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Nagisa flee, finding a waterslide that leads near the building. They jump together on a floating ring, just as in their dreams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka sees them sliding down. Mami and Kyoko cannot find anyone inside. Kyoko realizes she herself suggested the waterpark trip, not Manatsu. Nagisa&#039;s memory was altered. By sensing magical energy, they locate a Witch. They attack, and though the Witch flees, everyone becomes visible, including Madoka, Sayaka, and the crowd. Manatsu appears before them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Manatsu explains she is merely an illusion; the real Manatsu became a Witch years ago. After a surgery, she overheard her parents discussing giving up their dream jobs at an observatory to care for her. That night, she dreamed of her family happy at a waterpark, her parents still researchers, with a little sister not yet born, but Manatsu herself was absent. Believing her family would be happier without her, she wished upon Kyubey for that dream to become reality. Her parents&#039; research received renewed funding, but Manatsu, now a stranger to her family, despaired and became a Witch. Her barrier has been sustaining the wish, preventing attacks until the dream is fulfilled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group&#039;s prophetic dreams occurred because they resemble those in Manatsu&#039;s dream. They must complete the remaining dreams: Kyoko&#039;s tokusatsu pose and Mami&#039;s fireworks surprise. They agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They are attacked by invisible familiars. Mami uses a nearby stage to perform the tokusatsu hero show from Kyoko&#039;s dream. They transform into magical girl swimsuit forms, deliver their lines, and defeat the familiars using floaties.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At night, fireworks begin. Manatsu&#039;s little sister asks if fireworks can be seen from space. Her parents explain their work sending messages to other planets. A UFO appears, transmitting signals matching their project, followed by a decoding key. The message reads: &amp;quot;I&#039;m home.&amp;quot; Manatsu&#039;s wish is fulfilled. The UFO departs. The parents feel something important was forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With the wish granted, the magic suppressing the Witch ceases. Homura enters and kills the Witch alone, acting quickly before others could hesitate. Kyubey appears, confirming her actions were correct.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Nagisa and Mami watch news coverage of the UFO sighting. Manatsu&#039;s parents have become famous. In an interview, Manatsu&#039;s mother calls it &amp;quot;a gift from Midsummer magic.&amp;quot; Reflecting on Manatsu&#039;s sacrifice, Mami notes that while Manatsu could not be happy herself, she made her parents very happy. Nagisa tells Mami she is grateful to have her. Mami serves cheesecake and considers fighting in that magical swimsuit again someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Natsuki intervenes, explaining Shizuka is a homeschooled student who just moved to the city, and introduces herself as a Magical Girl with Kamihama Magia Union, explaining that Iroha asked them to watch for anyone from the Tokime clan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitashizuka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Shizuka Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Shizuka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Grateful for the rescue, Shizuka accepts Natsuki&#039;s offer to guide her. They tour the market street, where Natsuki shares local knowledge, and Shizuka explains that in her village, elders handled all shopping outside and goods were shared communally, which is why city life is difficult to navigate. They visit a shopping mall, where Shizuka freezes at the escalator until a young girl helps her, and later a pushy saleswoman overwhelms her at a clothing store until Natsuki intervenes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitashizuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki takes Shizuka to a quiet park to rest, where they eat taiyaki and discuss Natsuki&#039;s role as a baseball club manager and cheer girl. Natsuki invites Shizuka to watch an exchange match that weekend, and they exchange contact information. Shizuka asks to visit the radio tower in Chuo Ward to see the city from above. At the station, she struggles with fare cards and platform navigation, and on the crowded train she is separated from Natsuki when she fails to get off in time. Natsuki messages her to wait at the next station, where Shizuka musters the courage to call out and push through the crowd, successfully exiting.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitashizuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They reunite and walk to the radio tower observation deck, where Shizuka explains the Tokime clan&#039;s pride: fighting to protect the people of Japan, not for personal wishes. She wants the branch family to see this view of what they must protect. That evening, Natsuki escorts Shizuka home and offers to pick her up for the exchange match.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitashizuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the match, Natsuki arrives at the Tokime village. Chiharu and Sunao thank her for helping Shizuka, embarrassing Shizuka, and they depart for the riverbed. At the riverbed, Natsuki realizes the baseball club&#039;s banner was left at school, and no one can retrieve it. Shizuka volunteers, declaring she will return the favor for Natsuki saving her, and despite her fear of navigating alone, she insists she can do it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitashizuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka successfully takes the train to Sankyoin alone and receives the banner from a teacher. On the return trip, her train stops due to trouble at Kamihama Station with no estimated resume time. Remembering Natsuki said the stations are close, she decides to run through Chuo Ward alone, using her navigation app. She arrives at the riverbed sweating but just as the match is about to start, and Natsuki is relieved and grateful. Shizuka realizes she was only scared and dependent before, and by deciding to act, she managed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitashizuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Shizuka gathers the Tokime clan girls, including Ryoko, Chika, and several masked branch family members, announcing she will guide them through Kamihama using her mapu. They tour Suitoku Market Street, the shopping mall, and a park, and the branch family girls are impressed Shizuka is already so familiar with the city despite arriving recently. Shizuka teaches them how to use fare machines at the station, admitting she could not ride trains until recently and encouraging them not to be afraid of the city. They arrive at the radio tower observation deck, where Shizuka shows them the daily lives of the people below, explaining this is what the Tokime clan exists to protect. She calls for unity as they carry out their mission together, and the clan agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitashizuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mikage===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage insists on helping her sister with cleaning, but Mitama assumes she wants money and offers her five hundred yen. Offended, Mikage goes to play with Sudachi instead. Together they read a fashion magazine, and Mikage becomes fixated on becoming an adult as quickly as possible. After finding everything too expensive at the store, she asks Mitama for her clothes and makeup. Mitama welcomes Sudachi as Mikage&#039;s friend and eventually gives in to Mikage&#039;s requests. The happy girls leave to show off their new looks while Mitama heads to work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamikage&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mikage Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mikage]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At work, Mitama appears lost in thought, and Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask what is wrong. Mitama confides her concern that Mikage is in elementary school and obsessed with growing up. Yachiyo and Mifuyu grow nostalgic about their own childhood attempts to look mature, and all three conclude that every child dreams of growing up quickly. Reactions to Mikage in makeup are mixed, and she does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamikage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage decides she can look mature with cheap accessories. At the candy store, she wins a lottery prize but still fails to achieve the mature look she wants. Confused, she asks Mitama how to grow up and be like her. Mitama tells her not to rush and let time do its work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamikage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Mikage and Sudachi are at the shop when Yachiyo and Mifuyu visit. After they leave, a man apprehends the girls, finding them suspicious for wearing makeup late at night and recognizing Mikage as being from Daito. Mikage helplessly objects when Mitama calls out to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamikage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calmly tells the man off and walks both girls home. When Mikage asks how she keeps a calm face when insulted, Mitama explains that adults understand how to express emotions appropriately. Mikage realizes being an adult is about having a mature heart, not just looking mature. Mitama then asks why she wants to become an adult. Mikage thinks to herself that her real reason is to help Mitama, who was hurt by how people in Kamihama treated her. For now, she keeps this secret.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamikage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Snow-thawing Befana===&lt;br /&gt;
* The last day of classes before winter break, Mikage tells her mother she will attend Lavi and Nayuta&#039;s Christmas party instead of their family dinner, hoping to experience a normal celebration after years of being teased for her family&#039;s strict Christmas rules. On her way, she meets Sudachi and Yozuru, who are dressed as the Three Wise Men for a Puella Care campaign, and joins them at Nayuta&#039;s house, where they discover a mysterious stocking stuffed with thirteen handmade confections. A Coordination grants Nayuta and Mikage matching outfits, and Nayuta&#039;s new magic summons a bare Christmas tree that pulls them inside an alternate world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;befana&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Snow Thawing Befana|Snow Thawing Befana]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the tree, they find ornaments containing memories of a girl named Rei&#039;s life: her loving childhood, her growth into adulthood, and eventually her pregnancy. The memories take a dark turn when they reveal Rei&#039;s mother furiously arguing they are too poor for another child, with Rei screaming that she did not want this either. Mikage realizes Rei is her mother and that she was an unwanted child, so she smashes the stocking and runs off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;befana&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, plagued by nightmares of being a burden, Mikage stays at Nayuta&#039;s house.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;befana&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the closing ceremony, Mikage&#039;s mother meets her at the gate with her forgotten schoolbag. When scolded about being a nuisance, Mikage blurts out that she knows she was unwanted and heads inside. After the ceremony, her teacher reveals she has known Mikage&#039;s mother for ten years and shares stories of her sacrifice, including calmly saving a toddler Mikage from a near-fatal river accident while screaming her name to bring her back. The teacher offers to let Mikage live with her, but Mikage&#039;s hesitation shows she still wants to believe in her mother.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;befana&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage returns to the tree with Nayuta, Lavi, Sudachi, and Yozuru to find the final memory. It reveals Rei choosing to cut off her parents to keep Mitama and her unborn baby, proving her commitment to her new family. The world collapses, and they awaken in a final memory where young Rei learns the family Christmas rules from her father, an aspiring confectionist who vows to make an extra dish for every Christmas he might miss due to age. Mikage understands now: her mother always loved her, and the thirteen gifts fulfill her grandparents&#039; promise for every Christmas they missed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;befana&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Mikage arrives home to find her grandparents waiting. They explain they left the stocking at Nayuta&#039;s house after recognizing Mikage by her voice and uniform. The family reconciles, sharing fried chicken and cake as Mikage begins the festivities with a heartfelt &amp;quot;Merry Christmas!&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;befana&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===A Merry Christmas in Everyone&#039;s Hands===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas day, Nayuta and Mikage help Mitama distribute gifts to all the magical girls at a special event. Mitama has collected donated items and matched them with girls who would appreciate them, leading to joyful reactions—Rion receives mushroom accessories, Hotori ecstatically accepts broken Dora Ranger goods from Seira, and Rena is shocked to learn her microphone originally belonged to Sayuki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hands&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Merry Christmas in Everyone&#039;s Hands|A Merry Christmas in Everyone&#039;s Hands]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After all the girls have received their presents, the group notices one gift remaining for the little Kyubey. Mitama explains they made sure to include their important friend who watches over everyone, and Nayuta, Mikage, and Ui join in wishing the little creature a Merry Christmas.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hands&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deliver Smiles! Reindeer Santa!===&lt;br /&gt;
* The three girls of the Tokime Clan—Chiharu, Sunao, and Shizuka—are startled when all their smartphones ring simultaneously. Shizuka panics when an image of a backpack appears on her screen, fearing her phone is broken, but Chiharu tries to calm her while Sunao notices text prompting them to tap. Before anyone can stop her, Shizuka presses the screen, causing her phone to vibrate and display a schedule for 3:00 PM at Mikazuki Manor along with a URL. Sunao worries about what this means, but Chiharu suggests they go see for themselves while gently scolding Shizuka for pressing things recklessly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;deliv&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Angels on the Road ~Reindeer Santa Prospering Season~#Deliver Smiles! Reindeer Santa! Login Special|Deliver Smiles! Reindeer Santa!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
**Arriving at Mikazuki Manor, the three are surprised to find everyone else already gathered there. Chiharu asks if everyone received the same URL, and Sakurako confirms that she, Touka, and Nemu also got it. Nemu observes that it seems everyone received free vouchers for different items. When asked what they received, Shizuka describes a heavy and scary looking book, Sunao got a book called &amp;quot;Ultra Savings Techniques,&amp;quot; and Chiharu received Decagon Ball pajamas. Felicia suddenly becomes excited and asks to trade her bag—which Chiharu recognizes as belonging to Todoroki Koichi—and Chiharu eagerly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;deliv&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
**Yachiyo speculates that whoever sent the messages might have gotten the gifts mixed up, noting that each item seems tailored to someone&#039;s personal interests. Sunao realizes her book would suit Nanami, while Yachiyo&#039;s assortment of Japanese sweets matches Sunao&#039;s tastes. Momoko&#039;s fifty Chinese spoons are perfect for Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant, and Tsuruno&#039;s stuffed rabbit is clearly meant for Momoko. Shizuka is surprised by how well everything matches until she notices a dangerous looking book called &amp;quot;The History of Punishments Volume 3&amp;quot; and wonders who it belongs to. Sana quietly admits it must be for her, leaving Shizuka astonished. Kaede observes happily that everyone now has what they wanted, and Mifuyu notes that everyone is smiling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;deliv&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
**As Sunao wonders who would create such an elaborate game, Ui suggests it might be Touka&#039;s creation, Little Vacation—an AI that looks and moves just like Tsuruno. She explains that within the game, Tsuruno and Felicia are acting as Reindeer Santas, delivering smiles to everyone, and speculates that this gift exchange might be their doing. Touka confirms that various things are still happening within the game but reassures everyone that their AI counterparts can still see them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;deliv&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
**Inside the Little Vacation game, Tsuruno announces that delivery is complete, and Felicia urges them to hurry and leave, noting that their appearance as okamochi has been changed to avoid detection. Tsuruno suddenly pauses, feeling a strange sense of déjà vu. Felicia reminds her that they are traveling Reindeer Santas, but Tsuruno insists that&#039;s not what she means—dressed as reindeer, visiting everyone&#039;s bedside... she trails off before remembering a special song and suggesting they continue on their way. Felicia enthusiastically agrees to handle navigation. Tsuruno declares herself Super Reindeer-san #2 ready for takeoff and begins singing about dashing reindeer, stardust spilling across the night sky, and miracles finding their way into everyone&#039;s stockings.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;deliv&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tokime Tribe Tale===&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day in December, Ui and Iroha finish shopping and notice the Christmas decorations throughout the city. When Ui feels lonely thinking about the festivities ending, Iroha takes her to Mizuna Shrine, where they see New Year&#039;s preparations underway and a poster seeking temporary Shrine Maiden helpers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;trans&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Dream That Transcends Today|The Dream That Transcends Today]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They detect a Witch and enter its barrier, where they must protect a civilian who wanders in and faints. They drive the Witch away, but not before the woman injures her leg. The woman introduces herself as a Shrine Maiden leader at Mizuna Shrine and worries her injury will affect New Year&#039;s preparations. Feeling responsible, Iroha and Ui offer to help as Shrine Maidens. The woman agrees but notes the spare Shrine Maiden clothes are adult-sized.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;trans&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime squad cleans Suitoku Temple as part of an end-of-year tradition, and during the cleaning, Shizuka notices a strange trinket but sets it aside. Later, while selling donated books at Kako&#039;s store, they meet Team Mikazuki, and Shizuka and Iroha agree to meet in the shopping district tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tokime Tribe Tale|Tokime Tribe Tale]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the temple, the girls discuss the Tokime Tribe&#039;s New Year&#039;s ritual, where a sacred cup that entraps calamities must be tapped with a sacred sword to dispel accumulated evils. The Mikoshiba family traditionally performed it, but with them gone, the tribe lacks the knowledge to do it correctly, and failure is said to bring disaster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Shizuka dreams of a storm destroying the village and her wives dying alongside everyone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Shizuka wakes shaken but hides it from Sunao and Chiharu. At Emiri&#039;s counseling center, they meet many Magical Girls, and Iroha notices Shizuka&#039;s distress. Shizuka admits she dreamed about the ritual failing, and Sunao and Chiharu reassure her they will help protect the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During shopping, Shizuka becomes separated and breaks down in the crowd. Natsuki finds her, and Shizuka confesses the full nightmare. Natsuki encourages her to accept her fear rather than deny it, and Shizuka realizes she has support.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, the mothers have deciphered Mikoshiba&#039;s documents and feel confident about the ritual. That night, Shizuka dreams again, experiencing the perspective of Hatsu Tokime, an ancient heiress who discovers the calamity cup is a sham. A past Mikoshiba deceived a Diviner named Suwe into contracting with Kyubey to create the cup, which only the Mikoshiba family knows how to purify. Hatsu contracted to create the sacred sword as a counter, but the Mikoshibas broke a piece off and hid it. The dream ends with Hatsu begging Shizuka to restore the sword.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka sneaks to the ritual site and confirms the truth with Kyubey. Finding and reattaching the missing piece would destroy the cup permanently. She explains everything to Sunao and Chiharu, and they agree to help her steal the sword and find the missing piece.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka escapes the village while her wives create distractions, and she arrives in Kamihama with the sword.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama, Mitama directs her to others who can help. Natsuki and Tsuruno arrive, and Tsuruno guides them to Sayuki, Mayu, and Ria. Sayuki identifies the sword&#039;s origin, Mayu says restoration would take months, and Ria knows someone who can find objects. They go to Mikura, whose power passively helps locate artifacts. A clue leads them to the Mizuna art museum, where an antiques dealer has the missing sigil, mistakenly mixed into the haul from Suitoku Temple. The dealer will sell it for one hundred thousand yen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka lacks the money, so they take emergency concert staff work at Sayuki&#039;s show. Afterward, they remain thirty thousand yen short, but Tsuruno wins a New Year&#039;s lottery with a gift certificate for exactly that amount using her luck magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka contacts her mother and confesses everything, and with help from Chiharu&#039;s mother, they complete the exchange. At Mitama&#039;s, Shizuka slots the piece into the sword, and it glows brilliantly. Ria uses concealment magic to hide its radiance for the return trip.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day near the end of the year, Iroha and Ui visit Mitama, who agrees to adjust Shrine Maiden clothing they can fight in if the Witch returns, consulting Kanagi for design ideas.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;trans&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year&#039;s Eve, Shizuka returns the sword to its place in the village and meets with her friends and the Tokime mothers, explaining her plan to destroy the cup. They agree to help prevent the crowd from stopping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year&#039;s Day morning, Ui wakes from her first dream of the year, where Iroha was princess carrying her. At breakfast, the others tease her about wanting to be spoiled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;trans&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Ui prepare to leave for the shrine in their adjusted, somewhat showy Shrine Maiden outfits. At the shrine, they introduce themselves to the other helpers and begin their duties handing out lucky charms to large crowds. Ui remains nervous until Iroha teaches her a calming trick. After finishing, the Shrine Maiden leader assigns them to guide shrine tours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;trans&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first tour customers are Madoka, Homura, Sayaka, Mami, and Kyoko, who came to support them. Ui guides them through the shrine, occasionally stumbling over words but recovering with everyone&#039;s help. After the tour, they perform the Shrine Maiden dance, and everyone is impressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;trans&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the dance, a girl named Rui approaches asking about the ultimate fortune. Iroha guides her to the correct location. Rui draws a fortune with a cryptic message about scattered sakura petals and no salvation from the kami. Interpreting this as the Shrine Maidens being in danger, she uses her magic to check for an aspect of death but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;trans&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, at the kite flying competition grounds, Iroha and Ui join the others. Ui struggles to fly a kite despite multiple attempts. After receiving advice about watching her partner closely, Ui successfully flies the kite with Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;trans&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to helping at the kite rental. The history club members arrive to rent kites. Mikura discovers one kite has an Edo period feudal lord&#039;s seal, making it historically valuable. Iroha and Ui rush it to the shrine office. The Shrine Maiden leader explains the valuable kite was accidentally mixed with rentals after being repaired. She asks them to return a different display kite to the competition grounds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;trans&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While carrying the large display kite, Iroha and Ui encounter the same Witch&#039;s barrier. They must protect the kite while fighting. Ui devises a strategy where Iroha will attach herself to the kite and fly up to attack the weak point while Ui runs below, luring the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;trans&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui runs but is intercepted by familiars. The history club, Rui&#039;s group, and Yuuna&#039;s group arrive and handle the familiars. Ui launches Iroha on the kite. Iroha attacks the weak point successfully, but the Witch&#039;s final attack cuts the kite string. Iroha begins falling. Ui, watching closely, runs and catches her just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;trans&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Yuuna reveals the kite she donated belongs to her family. Repairs are completed in time for the competition&#039;s finale. Iroha and Ui change into their haregi to meet Mikazuki Manor for shopping. Before leaving, Madoka notes something feels different between the sisters. Iroha confirms something happened but assures her everything is okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;trans&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, as their ritual begins, Shizuka slots the sigil into place. The villagers panic, but Sunao calms them by explaining this is sacred. Shizuka destroys the cup with one blow, the sunrise pierces the darkness, and she declares the end of Mikoshiba&#039;s reign. The villagers cheer, and Shizuka hears Hatsu&#039;s voice thanking her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the day, Yachiyo leads the Mikazuki girls in a coordinated strategy to purchase lucky bags at the Kamihama Supermarket. They split into three groups and successfully secure various household items. After comparing their hauls, they realize all the ingredients they bought are suitable for hot pot. They decide to invite other Magical Girls from the Union for a New Year&#039;s party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;bag&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Every Lucky Bag a Dream|Every Lucky Bag a Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Chiharu and Sunao gently redirect her from wearing them by suggesting she have them remade by a tailor and study fashion magazines instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;bag&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ao buys board games for everyone, hoping to introduce Yuna to them. Hikaru and Sakuya purchase ice cream from Yuna&#039;s favorite store. Touched by their thoughtfulness, Yuna resolves to continue protecting everyone in Futatsugi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;bag&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu and Shigure are dragged into New Year&#039;s crowds against their will. Himena and Alexandra buy cosmetics and accessories, then give thoughtful gifts to the reluctant pair. Despite their initial resistance, Hagumu and Shigure end the day feeling hopeful about the coming year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;bag&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage, excited by a TV segment, wants to buy a lucky bag with only 300 yen. Lavi and Nayuta give her a handmade &amp;quot;special lucky bag&amp;quot; filled with items from Nayuta&#039;s home as a New Year&#039;s gift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;bag&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia receives a gorilla-themed lucky bag from Sudachi, who selected it based on its online popularity. They play cards with a punishment for the loser: wearing a gorilla kigurumi. Livia loses and reluctantly puts on the costume, only to sit on a whoopee cushion Sudachi placed. Livia laughs despite herself, and Yozuru declares the strategy a success.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;bag&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko, Sayaka, Mami, Madoka, and Homura buy a wagashi lucky bag but realize they have too much to finish. They encounter the Mikazuki girls, who invite them to the hot pot party. Everyone gathers at Mikazuki Manor to celebrate the New Year together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;bag&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Over twelve consecutive days, various Magical Girls at Mizuna Shrine draw fortunes. Iroha and Ui preside over the draws, offering encouragement each day. The fortunes range from Good Luck to Great Luck, with occasional repeats. On Day 11, a visitor draws Pure Luck, the rarest fortune, prompting Sana to declare that something great must be waiting for them. The Mikazuki girls continue their tradition, hoping each visitor&#039;s new year will be blessed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;bag&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After New Year&#039;s, the Tokime girls visit Mikazuki with local specialties and share the full story. Shizuka explains the dreams were likely triggered by handling the sigil at the temple. She invites everyone to a hot springs trip as thanks, and Mikazuki eagerly accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homecoming ~ Three Days of Kyoko Sakura===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko dreams of a strange situation where Kagome tells her the world will end in three days. Manaka offers her an apple, and Kyoko introduces the doll she is holding as her sister Momo. Before she can eat, everything goes black.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;homecoming&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Homecoming ~ Three Days of Kyoko Sakura|Homecoming ~ Three Days of Kyoko Sakura]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko awakens in a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in Mitakihara, where she joins Mami, Homura, Madoka, Sayaka, and Nagisa in rescuing children from a Witch. After the battle, they learn a dangerous Witch has appeared in Kamihama and decide to hunt it together. Despite her old promise never to use magic for others, Kyoko realizes she has been helping again and handles the ambulance arrangements before biting into an apple.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;homecoming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, in Kyoko&#039;s dream, she is at an arcade in Kamihama when she encounters Ren and Rika, who invite her to join their hunt for a powerful Witch. With Momo&#039;s silent encouragement, she agrees. They find Sana and Konomi already fighting a Familiar, and the group defeats it easily. Afterwards, they meet a little girl searching for a kitten no one will adopt. Momo silently encourages the girl not to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;homecoming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds herself in her father&#039;s ruined church, where a dream-version of Kyubey explains she is reliving the past three days. She finally remembers the truth: Momo is dead, killed alongside their parents in the family suicide her father forced. Kyoko reflects on her past wish, how it led to her family&#039;s destruction, and how she swore never to use magic for others again, losing her Dazzle magic in the process.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;homecoming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, in the real world Ren waits at the meeting point, but no one else has arrived. Mami, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka arrive, tracking the same Witch. They find Konomi unconscious in the Labyrinth and rescue her. Konomi explains she was trapped in a dream where the world was ending over three days. Mami realizes the Witch reads minds and memories to trap victims. They suspect Kyoko, Sana, and Rika are still inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;homecoming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi notes that in her dream, Kyoko&#039;s dead sister Momo appeared despite them never meeting. Only Ren could not see her. Homura suspects Kyoko is at the center of the shared dreams. They contact Kagome and Nagisa in Kazamino to consult Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;homecoming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real-world Kazamino, Kagome and Nagisa find Kyubey at a broken-down church. He confirms the Witch uses mind-altering magic but suggests the shared dreams may not be the Witch&#039;s doing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;homecoming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In real-world Kamihama, Mami realizes Kyoko&#039;s lost Dazzle magic is causing the shared dreams. Kyubey confirms Kyoko is using her power to convince the others her illusion of Momo is real, and the Witch is exploiting this. The only way to defeat the Witch is to fight with empty minds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;homecoming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group rescues Sana, who confirms she had the same dream and recalls Kyoko muttering her old promise before being captured.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;homecoming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Kyoko&#039;s dream, Kyoko encounters her past self, the version of her that believed in happy endings before her family died. She realizes this is her Doppel, the self she cut away and buried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;homecoming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real Kamihama, the group finds Rika and attempts to fight the Witch, but their attacks have no effect. The Witch is controlling Kyoko&#039;s Doppel and drawing on its power, which includes her lost Dazzle magic. They are forced to retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;homecoming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Kazamino, Kyubey explains that if Kyoko can regain control of her Doppel, the Witch will return to its original strength and she may destroy the Labyrinth from within. Sachio and Shimako arrive at the church, revealing they were followers of Kyoko&#039;s father. Kyoko saved them from two suicide attempts, and they have now decided to build a happy family together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;homecoming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Kyoko&#039;s Dream, her Doppel stands ready to jump, having chosen the end of the world. Kyoko tells her about the people their father saved, proving her wish was not entirely for nothing. She declares she will never forget the joy she felt in saving others and will never abandon her past self again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;homecoming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Kamihama, as Mami prepares to re-enter the Labyrinth, a massive surge of magic erupts. The Labyrinth vanishes, and all the trapped victims are freed. Kyoko emerges, having taken on her Doppel&#039;s power and saved everyone from within. When Sayaka asks how it feels, Kyoko admits it feels not bad but insists she has not changed. She simply does what she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;homecoming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Akari is despondent at school, and Hotaru finds her crying. Akari explains Haruto&#039;s decision and says she must give up her feelings too, but Hotaru challenges her, pointing out she would have to watch Haruto and Yuuna grow closer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sharp&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari admits she still loves him and decides she must tell Haruto not to give up on love, even if she cannot confess directly. Hotaru agrees to help her crash the families&#039; dinner party that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sharp&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Rion and Hotori as decoys to draw away servants, Hotaru uses her pillow magic to subdue guards while Akari bursts into the private dinner. She cries and tells Haruto she hates that he is getting married.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sharp&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Haruto comforts her, promising he will always be her big brother. Akari tells him that if he truly loves someone, he cannot give up, confessing she knows this because she loves someone too. Haruto accepts her words, realizing he cannot neglect his own feelings.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sharp&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Post-Arc 2==&lt;br /&gt;
Following the conclusion of Arc 2, the order of most events can only be surmised through their order of release, as well as certain in-story clues, mainly the time of Iroha and Ui&#039;s return from the Magia Record, and then their subsequent return.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Joint Open Round-table Discussion===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome struggles to organize her research until Touka sends an AI program that creates constructs of the Magical Girls themselves to recount their story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;joint&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Joint Open Round-table Discussion ～Summary of Part 2～|Joint Open Round-table Discussion ～Summary of Part 2～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Dark Color Halloween is the Color of Love!?===&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately three weeks before Halloween, Mitama proposes a joint Halloween event to the Student Council representatives, Momoko and Kanagi, with themes of cross-team cooperation and anonymous interaction. The proposal passes the Council vote, and preparation groups mixing East and West members are formed. One group includes Sougetsu, Kanagi&#039;s brother, and Harumi, a high school student from Minagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;darkc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Dark Color Halloween is the Color of Love!? ~ Connect, the East and West Front Lines of Love!|Dark Color Halloween is the Color of Love!? ~ Connect, the East and West Front Lines of Love!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after preparations begin, Sougetsu and Harumi grow close after he walks her home, but a series of misunderstandings soon drives them apart. Sougetsu mistakenly believes his sister Kanagi is a romantic rival after seeing her talk with Harumi, while Harumi assumes Sougetsu likes Mitama after seeing them together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;darkc&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, their friends notice the distance and decide to observe before intervening. When Mitama and Kanagi attempt to create opportunities for them to work alone, their efforts backfire and deepen the misunderstandings.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;darkc&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before venue setup, their friends orchestrate a direct push. During a candy run, Kanagi clarifies the misunderstanding with Sougetsu, while Harumi affirms her feelings to Mitama and Natsuki. Both decide to confess after the event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;darkc&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Halloween, Harumi&#039;s parents warn her that dating someone from the East while inheriting the family business will invite social hardship. Sougetsu&#039;s friends similarly caution him about the scrutiny Harumi will face. Both begin doubting whether they can pursue the relationship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;darkc&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Halloween, venue setup proceeds but both are distracted. Sougetsu feels ashamed when Kanagi shields him from falling boxes, realizing he cannot protect Harumi alone. That evening, Mitama shares her own painful experience with the East-West conflict, warning Harumi of the weight such a relationship carries. Kanagi tells Sougetsu that bearing everything alone is arrogant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;darkc&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1821.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* On Halloween Day, the Dark Halloween Party runs smoothly. After guests leave, Mitama arranges for Sougetsu and Harumi to meet alone in the Eternal Darkness Tour area. Sougetsu confesses, acknowledging the hardships ahead but expressing his desire to face them together. Harumi confesses in return, asking that they support each other side by side. Watching from a distance, Mitama reflects that they have taken a huge yet tiny first step.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;darkc&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Aru&#039;s Warning!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome and Aru rescue a Magical Girl from a Witch, but after several successful hunts, they encounter a powerful Witch whose attacks they cannot land and are forced to retreat. That night, Kagome feels frustrated she could not finish the fight herself and goes to sleep early.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mismatch&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mismatched!?

* Kagome wakes to find she can no longer understand Aru&#039;s speech. Mitama examines them but finds no abnormalities. Aru begins acting strangely, pulling up weeds and throwing them, then running off to visit multiple Magical Girls. At Manaka&#039;s store, she takes turnips and onions before escaping. At Hinano&#039;s chemistry club, she erases letters from the periodic table and causes an explosion. At Natsuki&#039;s location, she throws splitter balls at her. At Emiri&#039;s office, she collapses after scattering picture books.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mismatch&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magical Girls gather and realize Aru&#039;s behavior was a message. The Witch from yesterday created offshoots to hide its true location, and Aru has been trying to warn them. When Emiri cannot reach Kagome by phone, Aru collapses again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mismatch&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find Kagome alone, cornered by the original Witch. They explain the Witch used their magical reactions to hide its location, and Aru&#039;s rampage was an attempt to lead them to it. They defeat the familiars and pinpoint the Witch. Kagome experiences a memory transfer and understands Aru had split herself to investigate. Her own fear of failure suppressed her power and caused the communication loss&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mismatch&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aru awakens fully, and Kagome can understand her again. Using Aru&#039;s splitting ability to attack in unison, Kagome defeats the Witch. That evening, she reflects that asking for help is not weakness and failure is necessary for growth, resolving to keep Aru by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mismatch&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Winter Recollection - An old story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days before Christmas, Yachiyo helps Mitama shop for supplies while struggling to come up with a theme for the Coordinator&#039;s Christmas event. They encounter various magical girls around town who are also planning holiday activities, including Hinano, Sae, and Maria preparing a children&#039;s science class, and Seira, Mikura, and Temari working on a Christmas film for the local children&#039;s association. When Mifuyu mentions childhood Christmas parties at Mikazuki Villa and shows a photo of a play she and Yachiyo once performed, she recalls they buried the script in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oldstory&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Winter Recollection ~From us who are still transparent~An old story|Winter Recollection ~From us who are still transparent~An old story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Yachiyo and Mifuyu return to Mikazuki Villa and dig up the time capsule with Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana. As Yachiyo reads the play&#039;s synopsis aloud, Mifuyu transforms into the Fire Demon King character, her mental age regressing to that of a child while retaining her adult memories. Yachiyo theorizes that following the story&#039;s plot by solving people&#039;s problems and granting the Demon King&#039;s wish might revert Mifuyu, and notes that a child&#039;s perspective makes her uniquely suited to help with the Christmas events.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oldstory&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day, Yachiyo brings Mifuyu to help with the Christmas film, and Mifuyu eagerly agrees to play a transforming heroine. They later encounter Hinano&#039;s group still struggling with their science class, and Mifuyu suggests presenting it as a hero show using chemistry, agreeing to appear as the hero. That evening at Mikazuki Villa, the group shares a meal together, and Yachiyo observes Mifuyu is already solving problems and moving toward granting her wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oldstory&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at the science class, Mifuyu encounters Yukika, who fears her bad luck will cause accidents, but Mifuyu promises to protect everyone. The hero show begins, and though experiments go wrong, the final demonstration succeeds. When a child runs toward the expanding foam, Mifuyu rescues them, becoming a real hero. Afterward, sharing food with everyone at a cafe, Mifuyu realizes her true wish was simply to experience ordinary, happy moments with friends—the girlhood she never had. She instantly reverts to her adult self, recognizing the parallel to the Demon King whose wish was to get along with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oldstory&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu finally realize the perfect theme for Mitama&#039;s event: returning to a child&#039;s heart. As Yachiyo walks home afterward, she feels unusually cold and observes it has not snowed yet this year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oldstory&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Winter Recollection - A phantom story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Days before Christmas, Mitama prepares for a holiday event at her Coordinator shop when Momoko visits and shares news about Mifuyu. Mifuyu had recently transformed into the &amp;quot;Fire Demon King&amp;quot; from a childhood play after opening a time capsule, her mind regressing to childhood, but Yachiyo and the others followed the story&#039;s plot to help her realize her wish had already been fulfilled. While they discuss this, Tsuruno arrives with Yachiyo, Felicia, and Sana. Mifuyu joins them, now in her adult mind but still able to transform into the Demon King form. Concerned the time capsule might still be dangerous, Felicia opens it and discovers the script inside now has visible text. When Yachiyo reads it, she transforms into the &amp;quot;Ice Queen&amp;quot; from the same play, though her adult mind remains. Suddenly, Mifuyu vanishes and the group finds themselves transported to a strange world where they must follow the story&#039;s narrative to save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;phantomstory&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Winter Recollection ~From us who are still transparent~A phantom story|Winter Recollection ~From us who are still transparent~A phantom story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group progresses through the story, gathering &amp;quot;Fragments of Anguish&amp;quot; that reveal not only the Demon King&#039;s memories but also Mifuyu&#039;s real struggles with her family&#039;s expectations and her guilt over missing Kanae&#039;s funeral. Yachiyo realizes the story is about Mifuyu&#039;s sorrow and discovers a magic wand cut from the original script that can grant small prayers by providing what is necessary. When the story tries to force its &amp;quot;merry bad ending&amp;quot; where the Queen and Demon King vanish, the others use the wand to summon help and break through to Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Yachiyo shows Mifuyu she is no longer just a daughter of the Azusa family but a woman living as herself, saving the Demon King. However, Yachiyo then freezes her heart and vanishes into the mountains, repeating the Queen&#039;s lonely ending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;phantomstory&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu learns from Yachiyo&#039;s attendant that the Queen always supported others alone and never showed weakness, gathering fragments about Yachiyo&#039;s own hidden pain. She finds Yachiyo in the mountains, where Yachiyo admits she always wanted to be spoiled but felt she had to stay strong for others. Mifuyu calls for help, and everyone sends their feelings, including Iroha and Ui who entered the shop looking for missing girls. Yachiyo remembers her wish when making the time capsule as a child: to never forget their happy memories. The two acknowledge they envied each other&#039;s situations growing up but now share the goal of creating a happy future for Magical Girls. They decide to create a new ending together with no sacrifices, the story resolves, and everyone returns to reality, the time capsule&#039;s magic born from both their wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;phantomstory&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the Christmas event, the younger Magical Girls reveal they have prepared activities so the older ones can return to childhood. They perform a play, break a piñata, play musical chairs, and present a cake they made together, pampering an embarrassed but grateful Yachiyo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;phantomstory&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, after everyone has gone home, Yachiyo and Mifuyu watch snow fall outside. They promise to celebrate Christmas together forever, and a White Christmas arrives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;phantomstory&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Don&#039;t Show Tears to Santa Claus===&lt;br /&gt;

While cleaning up afterward, Felicia becomes upset while reading a picture book Sana made, explaining she does not want it to end because she fears sad endings after losing Iroha and the others.

** Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana reflect on the absence of Iroha and Ui but resolve to cherish the present and visit the New Year&#039;s sales.

The Tokime Clan shares mochi and plays hanetsuki, with Shizuka proposing they build a new relationship with Kyubey. Himena&#039;s group also plays hanetsuki while sharing resolutions, with Himena declaring her wish for an amusement park date and hitting the shuttlecock skyward to send their feelings to Iroha.

** Throughout the night, they roll dice and travel across Kamihama, learning they must follow the game&#039;s rules after Homura fails to cheat by taking a train.

When they finally reach Mizuna Shrine, they are sent back to the start for not meeting the goal conditions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;scramble&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During their second loop, they visit Mitama and learn through dream readings that the six Magical Girls spent New Year&#039;s Day together and received origami for good dreams, but Nagisa accidentally mixed them up. Mitama theorizes the dream belongs to Amy, who simply wanted to play until exhausted. Homura runs away just before the finish line, believing she is why Madoka cannot escape, and they are sent back again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;scramble&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They attempt to open their business but face deep distrust from the local Magical Girls, who mention bad rumors about Coordinators from Kamihama. They meet a local Magical Girl, [[Kuro (くろ)|Kuro]], who states she prefers to work alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;valentinemessage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia appoints Sudachi as the &amp;quot;Minister of Public Relations,&amp;quot; giving her a new look to improve their image. Unbeknownst to Sudachi, Livia and Yozuru&#039;s real plan is to find and eliminate the dangerous Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;valentinemessage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Sudachi struggles to promote their services, Livia and Yozuru investigate the Witch and learn it has been present for months but has caused no known victims. Sudachi uses her unique magic to forcibly &amp;quot;switch&amp;quot; the emotions of the local Magical Girls from distrust to enthusiasm, successfully drawing a crowd.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;valentinemessage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Livia discovers this, she&#039;s horrified, and orders Sudachi to reverse the magic. The freed Magical Girls become furious. Sudachi is left distressed and confused by the failure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;valentinemessage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sudachi is demoralized after clients, angry that her magic reverted, vow never to return. Livia refuses a client&#039;s request to erase memories, explaining the magic&#039;s limits, and tells Sudachi to try the next day without using her unique magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;valentinemessage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Sudachi avoids her duties, convinced she is a failure. She decides to never use her magic again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;valentinemessage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Despondent, she goes to the station, buys a ticket to Kamihama, and decides to run away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;valentinemessage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia, feeling guilty for her harshness, learns from Yozuru that Sudachi might have been trying to like her own magic. They find Sudachi at the station, where she has been unable to board a train, and Livia apologizes to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;valentinemessage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sudachi recalls a past event at the station and realizes the current Witch incident is her fault, sensing a connection to Kuro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;valentinemessage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The powerful Witch appears and Sudachi confronts the hidden Kuro, who reveals she is compelled to protect the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;valentinemessage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sudachi remembers using her magic on Kuro months prior, accidentally creating the compulsion. Livia deduces the magical effect and proposes Sudachi lift it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;valentinemessage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Witch attacks and Sudachi uses her magic on Kuro, restoring her original feelings. Now freed from the compulsion, Kuro instantly destroys the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;valentinemessage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1863.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The Coordinators&#039; shop remains empty. Yozuru states the incident had no good outcomes, while Livia takes responsibility for assigning Sudachi unsuitable work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;valentinemessage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sudachi resolves to use her magic carefully, not abandon it. Suddenly, the Magical Girl Sudachi altered arrives, grateful for the experience as it helped her realize her own potential. This causes Sudachi to reconsider her magic entirely and Livia assigns her to handle the coordination for their first regular customer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;valentinemessage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The evening before Valentine&#039;s, the girls hold a pajama party where Tsuruno eagerly tries to spark romantic conversation. When no one has love stories to share, Felicia enthusiastically describes her loving relationship, which turns out to be with a golden retriever puppy named Jontaro. The conversation shifts to ideal lovers, with Yachiyo suggesting a wagashi confectioner, Iroha wanting someone who accepts her, and Sana shyly describing a fantasy prince before feeling self-conscious. Felicia comforts her by sharing her own admiration for Kuushinsai-sensei. When Tsuruno is asked about her ideal, she says someone who will help Banbanzai flourish, leading Yachiyo to point out that for all of them, love takes a backseat to their priorities. Iroha reflects that she hopes other magical girls&#039; feelings of love turn out well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;doki&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event Story Valentine Message ~The Memories are Pale Black~#Doki Doki!

* On Valentine&#039;s Day, Sudachi works at the Puella Care shop and Livia and Yozuru note the increased customer traffic is due to her efforts. Her friends from Kamihama visit to thank her for the chocolates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sudachival&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile in Kamihama, Akari is sad because Haruto is away, meaning she can&#039;t give him the chocolate brownies she made. Her friends Moka, Ranka, and Hotaru cheer her up by sharing their own chocolates, turning it into a friend chocolate exchange. When Haruto suddenly returns, Akari gives him her chocolate, but he mistakes it for &amp;quot;care chocolate&amp;quot; for someone he sees as a little sister and leaves before she can correct him. To everyone&#039;s surprise, Akari takes it well, deciding his misunderstanding proves she needs to improve herself before confessing for real.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;doki&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha appears, giving out thank-you chocolates with Mikage and Sudachi helping. Akari explains her failed Valentine&#039;s to the younger girls, who are amazed she even had the courage to give someone chocolate.

** Livia and Yozuru drive her as far as they can. On the final walk to her house, Sudachi meets the man from Kamihama, who is the father of a classmate who died in the incident that triggered her wish. He mistakes her for another victim and encourages her to forget the past. Unable to tell him the truth, she leaves after a brief exchange.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sudachival&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sudachi arrives home. Her parents have learned sign language and plan to sell the house to help her escape her memories. She declines, explaining she does not want to forget her past and wants the house to remain as her home to return to after her journey with the Coordinators ends. Her parents accept her decision, and she returns to Livia and Yozuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sudachival&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Inspired by the photos and the theme of testing bonds, Ashley proposes shooting a reality show where close pairs compete to prove who has the strongest relationship. Mitama agrees to recruit participants through her Coordinator contacts, and Ashley asks Kokoro and Masara to star as the lead pair, which they accept.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MasaraKokoroBridess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Masara &amp;amp; Kokoro (Bride)#Side Story|Masara &amp;amp; Kokoro&#039;s Bride Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the reality show shoot, the participants gather at an abandoned school, including Kokoro and Masara, Rena and Kaede, Rika and Ren, Ayaka and Shizuku, Nayuta and Lavi, and the only non-magical pair, Sougetsu and Harumi. Throughout a series of games, Kokoro and Masara&#039;s performance declines sharply, and during a heart-to-heart game where partners must guess each other&#039;s thoughts, they fail every question. Masara comments that their personalities have never been similar, and Kokoro becomes upset, telling Masara to just be that way then. The two stop speaking, creating an awkward atmosphere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MasaraKokoroBridess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, the fire alarm rings, and fire shutters descend, separating the group. Kokoro and Harumi are trapped together, while Masara and Sougetsu are together ahead of them. During their evacuation, Kokoro and Harumi have a heart-to-heart conversation where Kokoro shares her struggles with understanding Masara but explains she wants to keep trying because that is what human connection is about.

** After the battle, everyone agrees Kokoro and Masara are the true MVPs, but Kokoro declines the win, saying she already knows her bond with Masara is strong, and Ashley declares everyone a winner. Harumi confronts Sougetsu about calling her by her last name, and he agrees to call her Harumi instead. Masara tells Kokoro that nothing has really changed because their bond has always been strong and does not need reaffirmation through games. She thanks Kokoro for everything and for their future together, and Kokoro happily returns the sentiment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MasaraKokoroBridess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Summer Pop Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* On a walk in Kamihama, Nagisa encounters the Pink Kyubey, a supervisor from the Law of Cycles, and feels guilty for using her assignment as an excuse to enjoy her freedom, though she reaffirms her decision to live as she pleases. Later that day, a witch resembling her former self appears and attacks, and Mami, Madoka, Homura, Kyoko, and Sayaka help her defeat it. After the battle, Nagisa privately agonizes that her presence causes these witches to appear and disrupts everyone&#039;s peace, and Mami, noticing her distress, invites her to a summer event the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;pop&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Summer Pop Festival! ～Nagisa&#039;s HOT Summer Break～|Summer Pop Festival! ～Nagisa&#039;s HOT Summer Break～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Nagisa meets Mami at the water park for the Summer Pop Festival, a student event featuring a new cheese snack. Though Nagisa initially tries to restrain herself, she quickly loses control and eagerly samples the Magical Triple Cheese, drawing attention and being mistaken for a runaway child, forcing Mami to cover for her by claiming to be her older sister. They meet Himena and Alexandra, two Magical Girls who were inspired by Nagisa&#039;s freedom, and the group spends time together at the festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;pop&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa notices many attendees seem withdrawn and reluctant to participate, and when a Witch Barrier suddenly appears, the group fights the Charlotte Witches, who have multiplied. Frustrated, Nagisa charges in alone but struggles, and Mami saves her while exhausting her own magic, leaving Nagisa feeling guilty for causing trouble. She resolves to find Himena and Alexandra to obtain a Grief Seed and searches alone, defeating one witch by herself but soon becoming surrounded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;pop&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Himena and Alexandra rescue her, and Nagisa, remembering the Witches were once her, correctly guesses they are distracted by cheese. The group uses Magical Triple Cheese to exploit this weakness and defeats the witches, allowing Nagisa to obtain a Grief Seed and return to Mami. That evening, a powerful witch, another version of her former self, appears and targets Nagisa but then flees, having found a more important objective, and the group agrees to defeat it together. Nagisa admits to herself that she is the cause of the disturbances and decides that after resolving this, she will return to the Law of Cycles.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;pop&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Nagisa confronts the powerful witch alone and finds it completely engrossed in searching for cheese, ignoring her entirely. Furious that a witch embodies the freedom she has been suppressing, Nagisa attacks, and during the fight her Soul Gem becomes heavily corrupted, though she refuses to use a Grief Seed, determined to defeat the witch herself. She unleashes her power and gains a new form, defeating the witch but discovering her power has splashed onto others, causing them to act on their hidden desires—initially creating chaos but ultimately giving shy students the courage to enjoy the festival and connect with each other. The festival resumes, and attendees express their gratitude.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;pop&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Nagisa visits Mami, believing she must return to the Law of Cycles, but Mami greets her warmly and calls her the &amp;quot;Festival Witch,&amp;quot; a nickname other students gave her for her miraculous acts. Realizing she is not seen as a threat but as someone who brought joy, Nagisa decides to stay in this universe and continue living freely with Mami, bidding farewell to the Pink Kyubey and choosing her own path.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;pop&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Nagisa tries to convince Mami, Kyoko, Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura to go to the sea with her, but they all decline for various reasons.

** Mami gathers everyone and they return to the sea. Nagisa tests Mami&#039;s promise by asking for sweets and activities, and Mami agrees to everything. When Nagisa goes to retrieve Mami&#039;s phone for a photo, the Witch of the former Nagisa appears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa fights the Witch alone, revealing a new power, and defeats it with some assistance on the Familiars.

She resolves to cherish every moment with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They defeat the Witch together, and Kagome&#039;s appearance and the yōkai Arus also return to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kagomes100&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group decides to combat the rumors by promoting the area&#039;s authentic yōkai legends instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kagomes100&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome receives an invitation from Himena to a gathering of Magical Girls with the condition that she come dressed in something that can get wet. She arrives to discover the true purpose is a beach outing with Himena, San, Shigure, Hagumu, Alexandra, and Miyuri. Despite the deception, Kagome appreciates the gesture. At the beach, Kagome senses a Witch and pursues it alone but loses track of it. While searching, she encounters Amabie-al-chan giving a cucumber to an elementary school girl, and the girl notices Kagome in her Demon Parade Magical Girl form. Before Kagome can handle the situation, Himena and the others find her and suggest she detransform. The girl approaches and asks if she saw a kappa, then excitedly declares Kagome a comrade in searching for the Seven Mysteries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yokaiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori (Demon Parade)#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Demon Parade Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl explains she is researching the local Seven Mysteries for her summer homework and wants to believe in mysterious things to escape problems at home and school. She asks Kagome to become an eyewitness and let her conduct an interview. Kagome, relating to the act of interviewing, agrees. Himena, who overheard everything, tells the girl that the day after tomorrow&#039;s festival is when Seven Mysteries are most likely to appear and claims the kappa was the &amp;quot;Moving Plushie.&amp;quot; The girl excitedly agrees to meet at the festival. After she leaves, Himena reveals her plan to use the Magical Girls to make the Seven Mysteries a reality, with Kagome as the interviewee.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yokaiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kagome consults other Magical Girls about the plan. Kureha, Juri, Hikaru, and Ao agree to help, and through their discussion they create &amp;quot;The Girl with Horns&amp;quot; as the second Mystery. Later, Kagome brings the consultation to Shizuka, Ryoko, Asahi, Chika, Chiharu, and Sunao. Ryoko&#039;s ghost story and the frightened reactions of Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao inspire &amp;quot;The Chorus of Sobbing Voices,&amp;quot; though the three request the remaining Mysteries be less scary. The discussion continues as they finalize the lineup.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yokaiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the festival arrives. The girl comes with her mother, and Himena convinces the mother it is a volunteer play. The investigation proceeds through various performances: San and Miyuri as the &amp;quot;Leg Girl,&amp;quot; Kureha as &amp;quot;The Girl with Horns,&amp;quot; Shizuka&#039;s group as the &amp;quot;Laughing Ghost&amp;quot; after their sobbing fails, Asahi as the &amp;quot;Prophesying Cat,&amp;quot; and Shizuku&#039;s sudden appearance as the &amp;quot;Torii Gate to Another World.&amp;quot; As they prepare for the final Mystery, Kagome senses a Witch and leaves to fight it. The defeated Witch&#039;s disappearance creates a spectacular display of light and plushies, amazing the girl. Himena improvises that the final Mystery is the &amp;quot;Nurarihyon,&amp;quot; a yōkai leading the &amp;quot;Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yokaiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, Kagome rides home on the train with Tasuke, Nayuta, and Lavi, who have fallen asleep. As she drifts off, she recalls the girl&#039;s words about believing in the Seven Mysteries. Despite everything, it becomes a summer memory she will never forget.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yokaiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Puella Historia===&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Ui accumulate the records of magical girls from the past when Iroha suddenly collapses after returning from her sixth trip to the past, destabilizing her existence due to her soul being in the present while she acts in the past. Yachiyo and Kagome discover issues with the APS malfunctioning, leading them to Sakurako, where Nemu explains that a [[Spoiler:Uwasa#Soul Dome|Soul Dome]] was used to allow Iroha to travel through time.

** Yachiyo recalls feeling Iroha&#039;s presence among the gathered magical girls and she proposes that the collective presence of the girls Iroha sacrificed herself to save might recover her concept. This proves unsuccessful, so Livia suggests investigating the Mirrors Witch, Mikoto Sena, who resides within Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;presd&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu has Sakurako retrieve Mikoto&#039;s closed book from the Magia Record, and Kagome uses her power to enter it and communicate with the record of Mikoto. The record claims she has not betrayed Iroha and is merely observing her fulfill her promise. Before Kagome leaves, Mikoto warns her that a Witch has been near them the entire time, one that feels familiar.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;presd&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s group returns from hunting, having failed to find Iroha&#039;s concept at the Mirror Witch&#039;s former battlefield. Kagome suddenly awakens and urgently warns everyone of an apparent nearby Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;presd&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and the adjusters, concentrating deeply, sense a faint Witch presence. Mitama guides Yachiyo to attack a specific point in space, revealing a Symbols Familiar. After its defeat, the Soul Dome reacts, collecting a fragment of Iroha&#039;s concept that the Familiar was carrying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;presd&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group realizes this specific Witch&#039;s magic has become faint to them after Coordinators had used its fragments for adjusting Soul Gems. The group deduces that a Witch has been stealing Iroha&#039;s concept.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;presd&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome, after consulting Mikoto&#039;s book again, relays information about the Witch. The Symbol Witch is ancient, and she can create and control separate offshoots of itself even across time. It has been rooted beneath Mizuna Castle since the Sengoku period, and has been devouring other Witches to build strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;presd&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers the group to attack the Witch at Mizuna Castle immediately, and Nemu sends Sakurako with Yachiyo&#039;s team as her representative. After its defeat, Yachiyo&#039;s group returns to the Labyrinth of the Eternal Sakura and soon, the teams that traveled to the past begin to return. The Soul Vessel glows brightly as it collects a large portion of Iroha&#039;s concept.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;presd&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** All the teams that traveled to the past return safely, having successfully retrieved the fragments of Iroha&#039;s concept from history.

** Their reunion is interrupted when Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem suddenly flares with pain and 10&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-43&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&#039;s Barrier erupts, swallowing Iroha and Yachiyo. The Witch&#039;s massive form appears and Kagome realizes the Witch they defeated was merely an offshoot, and the main body has now recovered alongside Iroha&#039;s concept and is merging with all its separate parts across time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;presd&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Automatic Purification System is stolen, and the Witch&#039;s Barrier covers the entire world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;presd&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Memoria 1933.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kamihama is now engulfed in a massive Labyrinth, with the Witch at its center. Iroha and Yachiyo, trapped within the void, witness disturbing visions of the Witch’s past and her wish for a prosperous paradise, which led to misfortune. As the other girls fight their way through the Labyrinth, Yachiyo, on the verge of becoming a Witch, devises a risky plan to exploit the Witch’s connection to Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tom&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Puella Historia Pillar of Tomorrow|Pillar of Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo, having gone back in time to gather the hopes of Magical Girls of the past, transforms into Historia Yachiyo and delivers the final blow to the Witch, freeing Iroha. Touka and Nemu reveal their secret plan to restore Iroha and Ui’s mortal forms inadvertently caused the crisis. They explain that Iroha’s concept has been fully restored, but she must return to the Eternal Sakura for final verifications.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Iroha and Ui leave the Automatic Purification System to Touka and Nemu, and finally rejoin Mikazuki Villa, but Iroha is still connected to the Magia Record.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Paradise Shift===&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Ui, the core of the Magia Record system, are enjoying their return to normal life in Kamihama. However, they notice many of their friends are acting secretive. Through a series of misunderstandings including a portrait (a &amp;quot;montage&amp;quot;), talk of &amp;quot;drugging&amp;quot; (making science sweets), &amp;quot;cutting and stabbing&amp;quot; (flower arranging), and a stage for &amp;quot;singing and dancing,&amp;quot; Iroha and Ui mistakenly think some of their friends are plotting against them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradiseshift&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Paradise Shift|Paradise Shift]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their investigation, led by Tsuruno and Felicia, eventually reveals that everyone was secretly preparing a surprise welcome home party for them. The misunderstanding is cleared up, and Iroha is deeply moved by everyone&#039;s feelings.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradiseshift&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, feeling they have been resting too much, Iroha and Ui visit the Eternal Sakura to check on Touka and Nemu, who are maintaining Magia Record. They learn that due to the nature of their return, which was due to 10&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-43&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&#039;s intervention, going back into Magia Record would trap Iroha and Ui there permanently. Touka and Nemu had kept this secret to ensure Iroha and Ui could enjoy their normal lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradiseshift&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:51199 tamaki family1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Iroha and Ui spend a final, happy day with their parents at an amusement park, which strengthens their resolve. They decide their duty to protect all Magical Girls outweighs their personal happiness, and they choose to return to Magia Record permanently.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradiseshift&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, the welcome home party begins. Iroha and Ui, their minds made up, announce their decision to return to Magia Record forever. To spare their friends the pain of their absence, they even ask Touka and Nemu to create a rumor that will erase everyone&#039;s memories of them. Their friends vehemently refuse this, insisting they would rather bear the pain of memory than forget.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradiseshift&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a final twist, Touka and Nemu reveal their own surprise that the immense positive energy generated by the party itself has provided the power needed for Iroha and Ui to travel freely to and from Magia Record, thus their sacrifice is no longer necessary. The party truly becomes a true celebration of their return, and the group makes plans to visit the amusement park together, now able to move forward without sacrifice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradiseshift&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kuro&#039;s (くろ) Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuro defeats a Witch and secures a Grief Seed and another Magical Girl appears and accuses her of trespassing, but Kuro declines any conflict or alliance due to her preference for living alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kuros2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuro (くろ)#Side Story|Kuro&#039;s (くろ) Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuro frequently experiences being mistaken for someone else (Iroha). She stumbles into a Witch&#039;s barrier and barely survives with help from Iroha. They discover a striking resemblance and attend the same school. Despite the awkwardness, they express mutual respect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kuros2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha offers to help Kuro with training, but Kuro declines. Instead they agree to temporarily team up to clarify their identities and prevent future confusion. A shared meal becomes a bonding experience and they form a tentative partnership.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kuros2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During dinner, Kuro learns about Iroha&#039;s altruistic nature and how she grew stronger through the kindness of others. These insights prompt Kuro to reflect on her own solitary lifestyle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kuros2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuro recalls her childhood in a nurturing environment, but moving to a new middle school disrupted her comfort zone. She struggled to fit in and was exploited by peers, leaving her feeling used. These experiences shaped her desire to live independently.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kuros2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As a Magical Girl, Kuro attempted joining teams multiple times but felt treated as expendable. She often left groups before being expelled and concluded that maintaining false personas was more exhausting than facing loneliness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kuros2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuro reflects on her past and reaffirms her decision to live independently. She insists it is better to remain solitary, protecting herself and others from potential harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kuros2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha acknowledges Kuro&#039;s resolve but expresses hope that one day she might trust someone. Kuro admits noticing changes in Iroha since their first encounter and considers whether her own future could also change.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kuros2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inspired by Iroha&#039;s optimism, Kuro agrees to keep an open mind about the future while maintaining her present independence. They engage in battle training and Kuro discovers unexpected synergy when fighting alongside Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kuros2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During combat practice, Kuro recognizes how effectively they complement each other. She concludes that she must first become stronger and self-reliant before considering companionship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kuros2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a dangerous encounter, Kuro reaffirms her commitment to becoming stronger independently. She thanks Iroha and reiterates her intention to live alone as a deliberate choice. They part ways amicably.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kuros2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuro reflects on her journey. She has grown stronger through solo training and occasional collaborations. Another girl offers help and Kuro is surprised by the genuine care shown toward her. She explains her philosophy of helping others as a way to pass on kindness received. While still committed to her solitary path, she leaves the possibility of future cooperation open.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kuros2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Iroha &amp;amp; Kuroe&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place at some point after Iroha has returned from the Magia Record.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe wakes to her alarm but chooses to sleep in after dreaming of an idealized morning with Iroha, a stark contrast to her reality that makes her want to avoid facing another same old day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaKuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha &amp;amp; Kuroe#Side Story|Iroha &amp;amp; Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her classes, Kuroe begins her solo patrol and receives a message from San about an emergency gathering for Magical Girls in Takarazaki. Despite her usual preference for solitude, she decides to attend, thinking that nothing will change if she keeps acting alone. At the gathering, she joins a joint patrol and pairs with another Magical Girl, but their time together is quiet and awkward. They find a Witch&#039;s Kiss victim and track the Witch, and Kuroe leads the fight before offering the Grief Seed to her partner afterward. The girl becomes angry, interpreting the offer as pity, leaving Kuroe confused and hurt as she realizes her attempt to act normal has failed again. San arrives and asks what happened, but Kuroe simply blames herself and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaKuroess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Kuroe receives a message from Iroha suggesting they meet in Takarazaki next weekend, and Kuroe eagerly agrees, feeling that maybe things will finally change.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaKuroess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following weekend, Kuroe meets Iroha in Takarazaki and initially feels nervous, but she relaxes after Iroha shares candy with her. They decide to go to the park to avoid Kuroe&#039;s classmates, and Kuroe confesses her struggles with acting normal and her fear that she unintentionally hurts others. Iroha reassures her and suggests they simply spend time together without overthinking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaKuroess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that afternoon, they watch takoyaki being made and share a genuine laugh together. When an elderly woman asks for directions, Iroha guides her while Kuroe nervously returns the woman&#039;s dropped wallet, and Iroha praises Kuroe for her kindness. Kuroe reflects that she is trying to become more like Iroha. They discover a movie photo spot in the city, but before they can take a picture, Himena, San, and Miyuri arrive. San quickly leaves upon seeing them, and Kuroe explains the gathering incident to Iroha. Iroha wishes she could help clear the misunderstanding, but Kuroe says it is fine as long as Iroha understands her. They take a photo together, though Kuroe is unhappy with her smile.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaKuroess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Iroha insists on staying longer to help Kuroe resolve her issues. They sense a Familiar nearby, and though Kuroe hesitates to get involved out of fear she will cause trouble, Iroha&#039;s encouragement pushes her to act. She asks Iroha to fight alongside her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaKuroess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they track the presence and find San&#039;s group already fighting Familiars inside a barrier. Kuroe feels unnecessary and suggests they leave, but suddenly a hidden Witch attacks and captures one of the Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaKuroess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha encourages Kuroe and tells her she believes in her. Kuroe joins the fight while San frees the captured girl, and with Iroha&#039;s help, Kuroe defeats the Witch. After the battle, Kuroe apologizes to the girl from the gathering and explains her intentions, and the girl apologizes in return, admitting she misunderstood. San praises Kuroe&#039;s growth since her time as a Black Feather, and Kuroe credits Iroha for believing in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaKuroess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kuroe and Iroha say goodbye. Kuroe asks to retake their photo, this time smiling genuinely, and promises to text Iroha next instead of waiting for her. That night, Kuroe dreams of patrolling with Iroha, feeling that reality is slowly getting closer to her ideal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaKuroess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Kuroe wakes from a strange dream and reflects that things have been going well lately. She has become better at interacting with others by emulating Iroha, but she notices her Soul Gem clouds more easily and she feels mentally fatigued. She considers resting but pushes forward, wanting to become strong enough to stand beside Iroha. On her way home, she stops at a convenience store and buys the same candy Iroha shared with her. She thinks about contacting Iroha but decides to keep trying on her own for now, resolving that next time she will go see Iroha herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaKuroess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On Halloween, the ritual is performed in the catacombs, but it collapses as the spirits overwhelm Asahi, causing everyone to lose consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;brethren&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri become trapped in a spiritual &amp;quot;trial dimension&amp;quot; inside their minds where they experience an endless, peaceful loop of Futatsugi and realize they are trapped in an eternal wandering. To break the cycle, Yuna and Juri commit to a path of total destruction, altering their appearances.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;brethren&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

Chaos ensues as everyone gets distracted, forcing Yuna to scold them and finish the cleanup herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YunaJuriVampisress&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Mikoto&#039;s memories are almost completely gone. To save her, Hanna uses suggestion magic to make Mikoto forget her and instructs her to go to a nearby village alone.

* Asuka sees the kadomatsu and hopes for an auspicious first dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Happy New Year! Dragon Rush!|Happy New Year! Dragon Rush!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She has a vivid dream about a ritual involving a dragon and tells her parents about it. They explain the legend of the Dragon God, the founder of their family, and a lost New Year&#039;s ritual. Asuka decides she will revive the ritual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Asuka goes shopping with Sasara. She explains her dream and her plan to revive the ritual, but Sasara is worried it&#039;s based on too little information and could be dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The two sense and fight a Witch, but Asuka is injured protecting Sasara, and the Witch escapes. Sasara is angry that Asuka doesn&#039;t value her own safety, and the arguments escalates until Sasara leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Asuka confides in their friends about the fight, and she declares that she will perform the ritual to prove her righteousness, and by extension, prove that Sasara&#039;s justice is correct. With Emiri&#039;s help, they use a group chat to ask other Magical Girls for information about the ritual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group investigates and they find an old mallet in a box at Asuka&#039;s house, along with a note saying it will shine for a righteous person of the Tatsuki family. The mallet does not shine for Asuka, causing her to doubt if she is righteous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She goes to Suitoku Temple and learns from the Tokime clan that the ritual was likely a Kagami Biraki (Mirror Opening ceremony).&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Troubled by the mallet&#039;s judgment, Asuka tries to become more righteous by performing good deeds around town. Her attempts are clumsy and often backfire, causing more trouble until her friends find her and bring her home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka goes to apologize to Sasara, but the conversation fails because Asuka still doesn&#039;t understand why Sasara is angry. To help her, Livia performs a coordination on Asuka and tells her to have a real conversation with her friend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka meditates in her garden, trying to understand righteousness. Ryoko visits and advises her to stop overthinking and to figure out what she doesn&#039;t understand. Asuka realizes she doesn&#039;t understand why she made Sasara angry or what &amp;quot;righteousness&amp;quot; truly means.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Tokime clan and Sasara discuss the situation separately. Sasara explains that she is angry because Asuka constantly risks herself and doesn&#039;t listen to her pleas to be more careful. She wants Asuka to realize on her own that she needs to value her own safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 2000.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the ritual arrives and Asuka still hasn&#039;t found a clear answer. The Witch from their previous fight reappears, but Asuka hesitates, once again doubting her own righteousness. Regardless, she decides to fight based on her current convictions and Sasara arrives to fight the Witch as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the battle, Sasara mimics Asuka&#039;s reckless behavior to make her understand how it feels to watch someone you care about risk themselves. Asuka finally understands Sasara&#039;s feelings and they reconcile.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The mallet begins to shine, and Asuka transforms into a form resembling the Dragon God from her dream. Together with Sasara and the Tokime clan, they defeat the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their friends arrive, having been worried and Ryoko reveals that the story about past ritual failures was a lie, concocted to motivate Asuka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka performs the Kagami Biraki ritual with the shining mallet, which causes the ceremonial mochi to multiply magically. They decide to share the mochi with all the Magical Girls to celebrate the New Year and their reconciliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During a training camp with her friends, Asuka behaves unusually, tripping over nothing and seeming distracted. When her friends grow concerned, she confesses she is anxious about an upcoming family gathering after New Year&#039;s where she will see her young cousins. She recalls a blunder from the previous New Year&#039;s when she panicked over having only one sweet for two cousins and ran out to buy more, only to learn the baby could not eat solids yet, which made her relatives laugh at her scatterbrained nature. Determined to redeem herself this year, Asuka wants to show dignity as a reliable older cousin and give her cousins New Year&#039;s money to feel like an adult, just as her older cousin once did for her, but she lacks the funds. Emiri suggests a plan and introduces her to a part-time job opportunity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Dragonss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asuka Tatsuki (New Year Dragon God)#Side Story|Asuka&#039;s New Year Dragon God Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Asuka begins working at Chikukoubou, a lunch box shop run by Riko&#039;s family, where she is joined by Maria and Sae. She immediately makes a mistake by tidying up and nearly throwing away sticky notes that identify customer orders, but Maria and Sae cover for her by recovering the order forms and instruct her to stall for time if reservation customers arrive. Asuka faces several customers while stalling, mistakenly calling Tsukasa by her Tsukuyo&#039;s name and using her scatterbrained reputation to buy time. She later serves Kanagi but forgets to give her change and then forgets to hand over the lunch itself, chasing after her to deliver it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Dragonss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After these incidents, Asuka becomes discouraged, comparing herself unfavorably to everyone else who seems perfect and reliable. When Maria asks about her motivation, Asuka shares the story of her older cousin, who secretly gave her otoshidama as a high school student and took her to buy a toy she wanted, bypassing her mother who saved all her money. This memory drives her desire to become a reliable adult like him. Moved by her story, Maria and Sae commit to helping her seriously, and Sae teaches Asuka a method to reduce mistakes: take a deep breath, calm down, confirm, and reconfirm before acting. Asuka practices this with customers and finds it helpful, though the constant tension exhausts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Dragonss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria then encourages Asuka to observe the people around her more calmly. Asuka notices Sae muttering angrily about a rude customer, Maria panicking over a spider, Kanagi admitting she ordered the wrong number of lunches, Mifuyu forgetting her wallet, and Mikage throwing a tantrum in public. She also realizes that Moka Megumi&#039;s overly formal speech was a result of nervousness while practicing errands, and that even Riko, despite her maturity, fell asleep like a normal child. Asuka concludes that no one is as perfect as she imagined, including her idealized memories of her cousin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Dragonss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the family gathering, Asuka prepares the otoshidama envelopes. She checks repeatedly, confident she has changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Dragonss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the gathering, Asuka arrives at her parents&#039; home and smoothly handles serving sweets. When her aunt and cousins arrive, Asuka presents the otoshidama envelopes, but her older cousin opens one immediately and finds nothing inside. Asuka panics, then takes a deep breath and realizes she removed the bills the night before for a final check and forgot to put them back. She rushes to retrieve them while her young cousins burst into laughter at her flustered state. Though embarrassed, Asuka accepts it and resolves to grow even more, determined to become truly reliable this year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Dragonss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- may get a new level of titles and have it be changed to second or third or whatever year after this whole thing makes more sense. But it may be better to handle the year thing in the introductory text of the articles or just not at all. If anything the Timeline/Magia Record article itself may clarify how many years pass.--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Mito and Reira want to investigate Atsuko&#039;s story, while Seika is reluctant. They follow clues from the diary to locations where Atsuko sealed her memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They learn Atsuko and her two friends, Kazuyo and Tamie, fought a powerful Witch but failed to defeat it, instead sealing it away in Lake Tono.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tensions rise between Seika and Reira as Seika admits she believes the opposition movement is pointless. Due to the fight, they separate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mito confides in Kanagi about the fight. Kanagi advises against using her magic to fix it and asks Mito to help investigate the sealed Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika feels remorseful and decides to apologize. She finds a newspaper article confirming the existence of Atsuko, her friends, and the Witch. Realizing the danger, she rushes to find them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika meets Mito and Kanagi. Kanagi reveals a theory that Atsuko&#039;s memories are stored in physical vessels. They find a new memory showing a fourth, hostile Magical Girl (the Saboteur) attacking Atsuko&#039;s group.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Reira, alone and remorseful, re-examines a memory and deduces the final sealed location is Lake Tono. She goes there, touches a bronze fish statue, and is possessed by an unknown force.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika, Mito, and Kanagi realize Reira is missing and use Mito&#039;s magic to locate her at Lake Tono. They teleport there and see the possessed Reira use her flames to break the seal, releasing the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Witch&#039;s Labyrinth appears. The trio reconcile and defeat the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next few days, the investigation into Atsuko&#039;s fate stalls. The girls are then informed that the redevelopment plans have been cancelled. A new company, Waki Real Estate, has bought the complex and will renovate it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They meet the CEO, Mr. Waki, who reveals he is Tamie&#039;s father. He shows them a photograph he received after his daughter&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The photograph contains Atsuko&#039;s final memory, revealing that the Saboteur killed Kazuyo and captured Tamie. Atsuko vowed to hunt the Saboteur and entrusted future Magical Girls with protecting the Daito Apartments.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kanagi reports the events to Mitama. Mitama expresses deep concern that the Magia Record is becoming unstable and asks Kanagi to enter it to investigate for the sake of Iroha and Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Conveying a Little &amp;quot;Thank You&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Valentine&#039;s Day, Yachiyo and Iroha host a chocolate party at Yachiyo&#039;s apartment with Momoko&#039;s group and all their friends. Everyone samples the various homemade chocolates and enjoys a board game tournament while Yachiyo watches them contentedly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thnxx&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Conveying a Little &amp;quot;Thank You&amp;quot;|Conveying a Little &amp;quot;Thank You&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Yachiyo observes everyone having fun, she thinks about how Iroha and Ui will soon need to return temporarily to the Magia Record for maintenance. Though the separation is only temporary, the thought of possibly never seeing them again frightens her. She realizes this fear applies to all the magical girls gathered here, as their lives are unpredictable and they cannot always be together. She wants to cherish these precious moments.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thnxx&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha approaches and offers Yachiyo her spot in the next game, feeling self-conscious about her lack of skill. Yachiyo insists Iroha stay, explaining that every player has their role in making the game enjoyable. She then brings up the Magia Record, telling Iroha to ask for help if needed. Iroha gratefully agrees and gives Yachiyo a large chocolate as thanks for everything. Yachiyo thanks her and silently wishes for many more peaceful days like this with Iroha and everyone in the years to come.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thnxx&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Alina&#039;s Atelier Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu and Touka discuss the instability of the Automatic Purification System, which has led to concerns about Magical Girls potentially becoming witches again. They deliberate on whether or not to inform others about this issue. Meanwhile, Alina has been tasked by Nemu and Touka to paint &amp;quot;portraits of Magical Girls as Witches.&amp;quot; By channeling Magical Girls&#039; magic into her cubes and gathering curses, Alina creates paintings that reveal visions of their Witch forms. For Alina, the beauty lies in how Magical Girls confront and live with these revelations. She decides to turn this process into a business, offering portraits for free but requiring the participants to share their inner struggles.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Alina&#039;s Atelier#Part 1|Alina&#039;s Atelier Part 1]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina makes a series of portraits:&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren, who recalls her renewed hope from friends like Rika and Emiri, but upon seeing her potential Witch form, resolves to never give in to despair and to continue protecting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri, who regrets her impulsive contract and feeling stagnant, deciding to redefine herself and surpass her former idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano, who recognizes her complex about her small stature and remains determined to expand her field of study.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku, who contemplates her emptiness and longing for belonging, choosing to cherish the memories of lost loved ones.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sasara, who admits her motivation was to emulate her father&#039;s heroics and now aims to inspire through kindness beyond mere heroics.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki, who reflects on abandoning baseball and thanks Alina for helping her confront her hidden desires and move forward with renewed purpose.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Alina&#039;s Atelier Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu and Touka debate whether or not to inform Ui and Iroha about the malfunctioning Doppel Barrier, however, Ui and Iroha overhear them and offer support in dealing with the situation. Nemu suggests making the collection of impurities a natural law of the universe as a solution, but it would mean Ui and Iroha will cease to exist again. Despite this, they reassure them not to worry and resolve to notify their families and other Magical Girls about the situation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Alina&#039;s Atelier#Part 2|Alina&#039;s Atelier Part 2]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina continues painting her Factor of Despair portraits:&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, who learned to accept herself with the help of her friends and resolves to show her gratitude through her actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, who struggled with her self-image but vows to remain steadfast, crediting her resilience to a hopeful outlook on the future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kaede, who committed to overcoming her fears and catching up to her friends after impulsively becoming a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako, who grew stronger with the help of her friends after a feeling of powerlessness and is reminded by her Witch portrait to face challenges in her own way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui, who does not regret her wish&#039;s consequences, believing it prevented greater violence and allowed her to meet her team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka, who reaffirms her resolve to continue fighting to restore her family’s legacy, despite feeling trapped by her contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi, who realized her wish was truly to preserve her happy present and found a new mission in bringing joy to others through flowers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Status with Big Sister===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 2038.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu acknowledges there is no stopping Iroha from leaving Kamihama and disappearing from the universe. Touka states they are all together as one, so it cannot be helped, noting that Ui and Iroha are already prepared. Iroha explains the Automatic Purification System was a gamble and this is necessary to return it to a stable state. Ui also confirms they are okay with it. Nemu apologizes for the trouble, and Touka expresses sorrow for always burdening Iroha with difficult roles. Iroha reassures them it is no trouble at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Future Relationships#Current Status with Onee-sama|Future Relationships - Current Status with Onee-sama]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu points out that Touka has always been trouble, especially. Touka objects, and they begin to bicker about falsifying the past, with Nemu threatening to give an example, such as when she refused to eat carrots in the hospital.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka reflects at the moment when all the happy times with their big sister ended, beginning the long road of hardships that led them to now. Ui asks if they are really okay with this. Touka asks Iroha the same. Iroha states she has made up her mind. Touka and Nemu pledge to support her forever. As a final request, Touka asks that when everything comes to an end, they play Old Maid together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha bids farewell to Kuroe, asking her to stay kind and remember her someday when she becomes a distant memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===For a Fun Evening===&lt;br /&gt;
* The weekend arrives for the planned sleepover at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo reveals she proposed the idea after talking with Iroha, and the group eagerly agrees. Tsuruno asks about Ui, and Iroha explains she is busy with Touka and Nemu and cannot join. Tsuruno then suggests inviting more people and leaves to scout for newcomers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;funevening&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Future Relationships#For A Fun Evening|Future Relationships - For A Fun Evening]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno encounters Kanagi and Kagome in the city and invites them. They accept and arrive at the villa. Tsuruno surprises everyone by bringing a large amount of food from her family&#039;s restaurant. The group eats, with Kanagi showing unusual enthusiasm for the food, praising its potential rather than its current flavor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;funevening&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After eating, Kanagi suggests playing poker, explaining her recent fascination from working at a casino-style event. She teaches the rules, and the group plays using ohajiki as chips. Despite Kanagi&#039;s research and confidence, Sana consistently wins, much to everyone&#039;s surprise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;funevening&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** To cool off, they shift to snacks and conversation. Kagome begins telling a scary story, and Kanagi joins in, escalating the tension until Yachiyo stops them. Tsuruno then initiates singing to lighten the mood, and the group joins in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;funevening&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Late into the night, Felicia, Tsuruno, and Sana fall asleep. Kanagi observes that Iroha looked momentarily sad during the fun and asks if something weighs on her mind. Kagome, connecting this to the unstable Automatic Purification System and Iroha&#039;s past disappearances, asks directly if Iroha plans to disappear again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;funevening&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha confirms Kagome is not mistaken. She reveals there is a chance she may never come back this time, though she promises to explain fully when the time is right. Kanagi and Kagome are visibly shaken by the news. They step outside to talk further without waking the others, and Yachiyo, who has been listening, reflects that the time to part with Iroha is already near.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;funevening&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Alina&#039;s Atelier Part 3===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina continues to paint &amp;quot;portraits of despair&amp;quot; for Magical Girls, asking only that they share their inner struggles as payment. She finds it increasingly difficult to paint and senses time is running out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Alina&#039;s Atelier#Part 3|Alina&#039;s Atelier Part 3]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu and Touka visit, concerned about her inability to create new Witch portraits, but Alina insists on continuing her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina paints various portraits:&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu, who resolves to atone for her past by guiding younger Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka, who reflects on her lonely childhood and vows to protect peace across the universe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina herself sees her own Witch portrait for the first time and finds it ridiculous. Nemu reveals that this form was always behind her when her Doppel emerged. Ultimately, Alina accepts this and reaffirms her desire to create art in solitude, pursuing her own aesthetic ideals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu, who recalls her life in a hospital and plans to assist other Magical Girls to ease the burdens on her friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Manaka, who rediscovers her passion for cooking and dedicates herself to surpassing her father&#039;s legacy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsumugi, who, after realizing Manaka&#039;s impermanence, begins documenting her friend&#039;s culinary dedication herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina can no longer create her Witch portraits, attributing it to the Automatic Purification System. Touka and Nemu tell her they are going to depart for the Magia Record permanently to make Magical Girl Records, but after they leave, Alina vows to become part of the Magia Record herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Recounting from Pictures===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome visits Tasuke&#039;s laboratory at his invitation. Lavi lets her in and mentions she is baking a strawberry shortcake at Nayuta&#039;s request, using strawberries from a friend. Lavi offers Kagome a slice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frompictures&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Future Relationships#Recounting from Pictures|Future Relationships - Recounting from Pictures]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tasuke arrives and proposes they enjoy the cake with his prized tea while he shows Kagome something: a drawing by Alina Gray from when she was hospitalized. He explains he obtained the drawing through a former nurse from Satomi Medical Center who was in charge of Karin. He then asked Karin directly, and she allowed him to borrow it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frompictures&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The drawing depicts Magical Girls. Karin identified the subject of one drawing as Iroha. Alina drew dozens of Magical Girls in a single sitting, using Karin&#039;s stories and her own memories, before growing bored and stopping. All the drawings are on the back of Karin&#039;s unpublished 4-koma manga, &amp;quot;Everyday Karin.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frompictures&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inspired, Kagome shares a new idea: instead of only collecting stories, she wants to create a picture book or fable using Alina&#039;s drawings to communicate Magical Girls&#039; experiences more broadly. She plans to ask Sana for help. Tasuke supports the idea but notes the drawings are difficult to identify. Kagome reveals she can sense who each drawing depicts, describing scenes that come to mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frompictures&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She identifies drawings of Touka, Nemu, and Ui from their hospital days, bickering in a way that feels familiar to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frompictures&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She identifies a drawing of Nanaka&#039;s group engaged in a friendly, peaceful game of shiritori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frompictures&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Next is a drawing of Himena tricking Yuna, Shizuka, Lavi, and Livia into attempting an &amp;quot;Infinite Mega Special Parfait&amp;quot; challenge at a cafe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frompictures&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She then comes to a drawing of Iroha. Kagome imagines Iroha with Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Kanagi, and Mitama. In her mind, she sees the group sharing a meal together, followed by an emotional farewell where Iroha departs for the Magia Record. Yachiyo reassures everyone they will always remain connected despite the distance. The scene ends with Iroha and Yachiyo affirming they will always be together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frompictures&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Last Bird&#039;s Hope===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 2041.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe defeats a Witch on a train, but she continues to patrol and fight Witches, reflecting on her loneliness since Iroha&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Last Bird&#039;s Hope|Last Bird&#039;s Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nearby, Nagisa wanders alone, grappling with her separation from the Law of Cycles, when Yu suddenly finds her. Though Nagisa initially mistakes her for a Witch and questions her monstrous appearance, Yu declares them friends and Nagisa reluctantly agrees to accompany her, intrigued by the connection to the increased number of Charlotte Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yusass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yusa Yumeno#Side Story|Yu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they travel, Yu explains her &amp;quot;job&amp;quot; is eliminating bad guys from a list provided by someone named Shi, which includes both Witches and people. Nagisa witnesses Yu kill someone and realizes the work is real. When Nagisa questions the morality of killing innocents if the list is wrong, Yu admits she double-checks but says eliminating them is still good for Shi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yusass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yu cannot remember her wish, and Nagisa realizes she cannot remember hers either. A picture book pages intercut the scene, hinting at Yu&#039;s tragic past. Nagisa analyzes Yu&#039;s disjointed emotions, unnatural lack of negativity, and refusal to connect to the future, concluding she is circling a huge emptiness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yusass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They fight a Witch together, and Nagisa witnesses Yu regenerate a torn-off arm without magic. Nagisa concludes Yu might be a Frayed End, a malignant factor leading to disaster, and acknowledges that her own interference in space-time triggered Yu&#039;s existence. Despite recognizing Yu as a victim, Nagisa resolves to eliminate her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yusass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Nagisa prepares to strike, Yu&#039;s magic unconsciously affects her, trapping her in a hospital memory where her mother is scolded. Yu appears and stabs Nagisa&#039;s mother. A voice, Kei&#039;s ghost, demands Nagisa kill Yu, insisting the story has already ended. Nagisa refuses, declaring she is going to the future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yusass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa awakens confused, muttering about Kei as she struggles with fragmented memories. Yu wanders nearby, aimlessly questioning where she was supposed to go.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yusass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nearby, Kuroe investigates an area with a rise in crime rate, suspecting a Witch&#039;s involvement. She encounters a fleeing man and a Witch at a station, but the Witch escapes. She then meets the Magical Girl Nagisa, who warns her to stay away and claims to have defeated the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While patrolling, Kuroe meets Yu, who is searching for a &amp;quot;bad guy&amp;quot; named &amp;quot;John.&amp;quot; They agree to search for him separately and on her search, Kuroe senses a Doppel and returns to find Nagisa&#039;s Doppel running wild. As it fades, multiple Charlotte Witches appear. Kuroe and Nagisa prepare to fight, but Nagisa is too exhausted. Suddenly, Kuro, whom Kuroe once saved, appears and tries to help but is quickly overwhelmed as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yu arrives to the scene in her Magical Girl form and easily defeats the Witches. She reveals she is hunting the man they&#039;d encountered, &amp;quot;John,&amp;quot; because he is on her list of bad people. Yu explains she kills bad people to stop them from appearing in the nightmares of someone important to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa tries to confront Yu but collapses, and, despite John&#039;s remorse and desire to turn himself in, Yu kills him. Kuroe, horrified and confused, also loses consciousness. She has a dream where a voice - Kei&#039;s - tells her to kill Yu before her identity is erased. &amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Memoria 2040 iroha.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe wakes up in an abandoned orphanage with Yu and a girl named Shi. Yu explains she brought Kuroe there because Shi can help with her problems. While Yu goes out to give them space, Shi tries to counsel Kuroe about her grief for Iroha, but Kuroe rejects her advice, as Iroha gave her hope as a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shi explains her own power, born from her mother&#039;s wish, which forces her to experience the suffering of others in her nightmares. She explains that in her past, she was used by an organization for her powers until Yu began killing the people from her nightmares, which made the dreams stop. Now, after Yu has killed the organization staff, Shi provides her with a list of bad people from her nightmares to guide her killings.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa and Kuro attack Yu and throw her into the orphanage trough a window where Kuroe and Shi are. Nagisa tries to remind Yu of her past and of Kei, but her attempts are unsuccessful and Shi gets angry at Nagisa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The confrontation is interrupted when a group of criminals arrives, seeking revenge for their comrades Yu killed. Yu bushes off their gunshots and proceeds to kill all of them, after which Nagisa tries to kill Yu as well. The violence and conflicting ideologies overwhelm Kuroe, and she&#039;s caught in the crossfire, causing her Doppel to emerge and swallow her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe is trapped within her own Doppel, consumed by self-doubt and the belief that she is unworthy of being a Magical Girl. Kuro is also pulled inside while trying to save her. A manifestation of Iroha appears to Kuroe, using Kuro&#039;s body to manifest and encouraging her to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe accepts herself and, with Iroha&#039;s help, defeats the manifestation of her despair, which takes the form of her Witch. Kuroe says a final goodbye to Iroha, promising her that she will carry her vision to the future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, after separating from the group, Shi is approached by Kyubey once more, and this time she decides to make a contract and becomes a Magical Girl, wishing to also understand their hopes as well as their pain. She first synchronizes with Kyubey, learning of Doppels and the details about her mother&#039;s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yu finds her and Shi uses her new magic to synchronize with Yu as well, and discovers it is completely hollow, with no real emotions or love for Shi. Devastated that Yu&#039;s kindness could have never been truly genuine, Shi breaks her Soul Gem and kills her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Nagisa finds her, Shi uses her magic to sync with Nagisa, sharing all the knowledge between the two instantly. She learns the truth about the Frayed, other universes, and the Law of Cycles. She declares that she will become a &amp;quot;spokesperson for the unheard&amp;quot; and continue to kill, but for the sake of the victims in her dreams and Yu&#039;s memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shi unleashes her Doppel and escapes with Yu&#039;s body, vowing to remain in &amp;quot;yesterday.&amp;quot; Nagisa is left behind as she yells that she will tell the plice about Shi&#039;s actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe and Kuro wake up outside the Doppel, where they meet up with Nagisa. She reports that Shi became a Magical Girl, but lies to them that she wished for the power to rehabilitate criminals. Nagisa also insists that she alone will keep watch over her and Yu, which the two seem to accept.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa parts ways with them and Kuroe reflects on her experience, vowing to continue living as herself, even if she is imperfect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A rumor about a being called the Nighthawk starts circulating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shi has a series of odd dreams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shiyuiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shiyui Shikiri#Side Story|Shi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shi confronts two men in a back alley, declaring herself a Magical Girl who punishes evil. After striking one, the other rambles nonsensically about the nature of evil before Yu appears. Shi &amp;quot;wakes&amp;quot; in her dark room, actually another layer of her dream, and is disturbed that this dream had villains but no clear victims, unlike her usual nightmares. She considers becoming a Magical Girl to change her life but hesitates, remembering she already refused Kyubey&#039;s contract. Still, she searches for him, wanting to talk again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shiyuiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shi searches alleyways for Kyubey but finds Yu instead, who says she was working, killing bad people. Yu asks about Shi&#039;s dreams, and Shi explains her ability: she experiences others&#039; pain and suffering in her dreams as if it were her own, a power inherited from her Magical Girl mother. She tried to contract with Kyubey to erase this power but could not, hesitant to become like her mother. Yu reminds Shi of their arrangement: Yu kills the bad people from Shi&#039;s dreams, making those nightmares stop and giving Shi&#039;s suffering meaning. Shi worries she is using her, but Yu insists Shi is special because her dreams let her truly understand victims. Shi admits she is afraid of losing her ability to understand others, and Yu suggests she is making excuses to keep her nightmares because ending them would mean forgetting the victims. Shi reflects that her love for Yu is the only proof her feelings are still her own, since she dreams of Yu attacking others yet still loves her. Yu tells Shi to look at herself, and Shi realizes she is already a Magical Girl, though she does not remember her wish or her magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shiyuiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In another dream, Shi and Yu confront the same two men, but after the fight, the young man breaks the fourth wall, questioning the story&#039;s logic. Yu discusses plot ideas, suggesting the evil organization gave Shi nightmares and killed her parents. Confused, Shi &amp;quot;wakes&amp;quot; again and wishes her life could be like this dream. When Kyubey appears, she searches for him once more.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shiyuiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In another dream, Shi finds Yu again, who pressures her to write names on a list, insisting the dreams need meaning. Yu rambles about narrative contradictions until Shi transforms involuntarily. She questions if Yu is real, and the figure claiming to be Yu admits she is not a mirror and vanishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shiyuiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shi &amp;quot;wakes&amp;quot; on a train at sunset. There, Kei thanks her for bringing Yu back but says that if she were alive, she would have killed Shi two thousand times. Kei calls Shi a Sleepwalking Ghost and tells her she can keep Yu&#039;s empty shell.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shiyuiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In reality, that night, Shi delivers three dead bodies to a taxidermist Yu knew. The taxidermist who offers free services in Yu&#039;s memory and invites her to stay and talk about Yu. Shi agrees and the taxidermist prepares and stuffs Yu&#039;s corpse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shiyuiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few weeks later, by the ocean, Shi sits down with Yu&#039;s body and speaks to it, reflecting on how Magical Girls become trapped in the past, unable to move forward, wondering if that makes them ghosts. She explains she now understands both victims and perpetrators in her dreams and will become a Sleepwalking Ghost like Yu, continuing to eliminate the enemies in her dreams. She states she returned what was inside Yu, but Yu was hollow anyway, so nothing has changed. She decides she will simply become Yu now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shiyuiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

** Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia and Sana swiftly defeat a witch. As more magical girls around them hunt witches, Yachiyo acknowledges the global network of Magical Girls united by Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu’s hope, vowing to fight until no Witches remain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;theheart&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* As preparing a dead body to take outside through taxidermy takes time, the ending of Last Bird&#039;s Hope&#039;s section, which consists of Shi&#039;s Side Story, could only take place a few weeks after the other parts of the event. As Shi could use her magic to stop the body from decay, and retroactively heal and &amp;quot;freshen it up,&amp;quot; the taxidermist doesn&#039;t have to worry about the body going through autolysis, bacterial growth, or maintain the body&#039;s pliability. However, even with this in mind, the process would still take a few weeks, as the body would need to be eviscerated, an armature would need to be measured, constructed and assembled into the body. The body would then need to be filled and shaped around the armature, and the incisions would also need to be repaired.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This article details the events and stories taking place in, during and between the chapters of Arc 1 of [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]]. The narrative is structured to show the convergence of two distinct flows of action:&lt;br /&gt;
# The first is the personal, undated journey of [[Iroha Tamaki]] within the anomalous Kamihama City, which is much longer than Homura Akemi&#039;s usual 32 day loop. Her story begins on its own internal timeline, where the sequence of events is more important than specific calendar dates.&lt;br /&gt;
# The second is the dated countdown to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival from the original series, which starts with Day 1, Tuesday the 16th and ends on Day 32, Friday the 16th. Only the latter half of Homura&#039;s timeline is able to be approximately dated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the arc progresses, these two timelines intersect, and due to this, the latter half of the story is much easier to date. It should be noted that the timeline of the Magia Record game is highly anomalous, and thus any attempts at dating it are an educated guess at best. Therefore, this chronology should be used primarily to understand the sequence of major events, rather than as a calendar. In lack of contradictory context clues, the release date, or order of release of the event were used for their placement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that many of the events of Magia Record were written with the focus being on having fun side stories involving the characters, and thus, a definitive placement in the timeline wasn&#039;t a priority for many of them. For example, there&#039;s inconsistencies such as references to the same characters entering Kamihama for the first time in different events, or even cases where an event&#039;s tone at the time it is supposedly taking place in would be nigh-illogical considering other circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, the definitive time frame for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival was only established in [[Scene 0]], itself written and released after the majority of Magia Record and entirely after Arc 1 was finished. Notably, the event of [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams|Cherry Blossom Dreams]], which takes place supposedly shortly after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, itself happens during February. For these reasons, it is impossible to definitively state the order of events, or to accurately measure them against that of the original series, as with the addition of these inaccuracies, it is possible that none of the time frames of the original universe are applicable here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, given all these inconsistencies, any specific dates or placements in the Magia Record timelines, especially Arc 1, should be taken with a grain of salt, unless they definitively continue into one another in a clear sequence (such as the Main Story and Another Story in isolation). The original series&#039; timeframes are used for organizational and cross-reference purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The timeline of this Universe continues with [[Timeline/Magia Record/Arc 2]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==First Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha Tamaki is going to Kamihama by train, she is caught in [[Boxwood|Boxwood&#039;s Barrier]]. [[Kuroe]] is also on the same train from Takarazaki to Kamihama, as she&#039;d heard the rumor that Magical Girls can be saved there, as well as had the same dream herself. The train is engulfed by the Labyrinth and Kuroe wants to help Iroha whom she&#039;s never met before. Kuroe leaps out of the train&#039;s window to help her, but she quickly falls out of the mobile Labyrinth straight into Kamihama City, chastising herself for being weak. Kuroe is greeted by [[Mifuyu Azusa]] who was trailing the signature of the Witch and Kuroe is quickly recruited into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Little Bird&#039;s Star|Little Bird&#039;s Star]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha herself arrives in Kamihama City, compelled by recurring dreams of an unknown girl in a hospital room. Believing this girl to be a key to a buried memory, Iroha begins searching the city&#039;s Witch Labyrinths for clues. During her search, she rescues another Magical Girl later identified as Kaede Akino from aggressive Familiars. The girl warns Iroha about the unusual strength of Kamihama&#039;s Witches and, upon learning Iroha is searching for a small Kyubey, mentions having seen it in a specific Labyrinth. Kaede notes that the small Kyubey has been the only Kyubey around recently.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 1: Iroha of the Beginning|Chapter 1: Iroha: The Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha locates the Labyrinth and finds the small Kyubey who is incapable of speech, though Iroha can somehow understand it anyway, but is soon overwhelmed by a horde of Familiars. During the struggle, she has a vivid vision of the hospital room from her dreams. She is saved by Momoko Togame, who explains that the Witches in Kamihama are too powerful for most Magical Girls to handle alone. Momoko takes Iroha to meet Mitama Yakumo, the &amp;quot;Coordinator,&amp;quot; who can perform a &amp;quot;Soul Gem Alignment&amp;quot; to enhance a Magical Girl&#039;s power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the alignment, Iroha has another, clearer vision of the hospital room and the girl, feeling a strong sense of affection and nostalgia. After the procedure, Mitama reveals that she can see into the pasts of those whose Soul Gems she touches and asks Iroha what her wish was. Iroha is horrified to realize she cannot remember her own wish or the identity of the girl in her dreams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Driven by this revelation, Iroha rushes out to continue her search, but is intercepted by the powerful Magical Girl Yachiyo Nanami. Yachiyo, believing Iroha is not strong enough to survive in Kamihama, challenges her to a duel to force her to leave the city. Though Yachiyo wins, Momoko intervenes, and a compromise is reached: Yachiyo will allow Iroha to stay if she and Momoko can defeat a specific Witch, the Sandbox Witch, before Yachiyo can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The small Kyubey reappears and leads Iroha and Momoko directly to the Sandbox Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Although Yachiyo defeats the Witch first, she gives Iroha a final chance to prove herself by defeating the Witch alone, which Iroha successfully does. Yachiyo admits she thought Iroha would be fine from the start. However, Yachiyo then reveals her true objective: she believes the small Kyubey is a dangerous irregularity and moves to eliminate it. Yachiyo explains she was trying to draw the small Kyubey out, as all the other Kyubeys in Kamihama have disappeared. Iroha throws herself in the way to protect it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the confrontation, as Iroha protects the small Kyubey, by touching it a flood of memories is unlocked. She remembers her little sister, Ui Tamaki, who was chronically ill and hospitalized. Iroha recalls her wish to Kyubey: &amp;quot;Please cure Ui! Make my precious little sister healthy!&amp;quot; She also realizes with horror that she had completely forgotten Ui&#039;s existence, living her life as if she never had a sister, with no memory of her until that moment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha awakens back at Mitama&#039;s office, having been carried there by Momoko after fainting. She explains her recovered memory to Momoko and Mitama. Despite their warnings that the memory could be false, Iroha declares that she must continue her investigation in Kamihama. Now her goal is not just to understand her dreams, but to find the cause of Ui&#039;s disappearance and uncover the truth behind her own forgotten wish. Momoko resolves to help Iroha, and Mitama agrees to help as well for a price. Mitama then asks Iroha to give the small Kyubey a name. Iroha asks Lil&#039; Kyubey if he will help her find Ui, and he agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Second Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, now at her home in Takarazaki City, understands the reason for the empty space in her room: it once belonged to her sister, Ui. She recalls memories of Ui and her two friends from the hospital, Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, even remembering specific details like how Nemu loved writing and published stories online, or how Touka was very smart. Iroha resolves to visit the hospital to find them, hopeful they will remember Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 2: The Rules of Friendship|Chapter 2: The Rules of Friendships]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0001 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* While Mitama is running her shop, she reads a detective novel called “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” A white tabby kitten from next door starts visiting her during this time and she names him Doyle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 1: The Many-Worlds Interpretation Poesy|The Case Files of the Coordinator 1: The Many-Worlds Interpretation Poesy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko comes for an adjustment and sits in the back to keep Mitama company. After a client leaves, Mitama feels strange and asks Momoko about the previous day after sunset. Momoko says they stayed in the shop watching over Iroha, but Mitama saw a memory during the adjustment: in that memory, she and Momoko patrolled an alley together and Mitama realizes the memory does not match reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha goes to the hospital with Lil&#039; Kyubey&#039;s help to use her cellphone but is unable to locate Touka and Nemu, as she does not have a visitor pass and is not family. She reflects on their personalities and their frequent arguments, which Ui often mediated. As Iroha recalls one of their fights where they declared they were &amp;quot;not friends anymore,&amp;quot; she is approached by Yachiyo. She warns Iroha about a dangerous Rumor in Kamihama called the &amp;quot;Rule of Ending Friendships.&amp;quot; She explains that if two friends fight and one later apologizes to make up, a monster will kidnap the one who apologized. Yachiyo states this is one of several Rumors in Kamihama that have become reality, leading to people disappearing and tells Iroha to be careful. Iroha later discusses this rumor with Mitama, who explains that Momoko is not likely to believe anything from Yachiyo, as they stopped getting along after Yachiyo became a model.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after this conversation, Iroha witnesses an argument between Momoko Togame&#039;s teammates, Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. Momoko asks Iroha to catch Rena, but Rena fights her off and even transforms into Iroha to surprise her. Momoko formally introduces Kaede and explains the fight is over sweets. She figures Rena will apologize later. The argument escalates, and both girls declare they are &amp;quot;not friends anymore&amp;quot; before Rena storms off. Momoko dismisses Iroha&#039;s concern about the Rumor, asserting that rumors are not true. Iroha notes that Momoko seems dismissive of the information specifically because it came from Yachiyo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami enters Kamihama City and saves Rena from a Stacey Witch. Rena reveals that Kamihama has the opposite problem to other cities: an overabundance of powerful Witches. Mami realizes Kamihama is an anomaly. While investigating, she encounters a powerful Familiar and a strange, non-Witch Barrier, solidifying her decision to investigate the city&#039;s mysteries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 2: Only this City is Different|Another Story Chapter 2: Only this City is Different]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Undated Period==&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama performs adjustments on more Magical Girls and sees more memories that should not exist. She pieces them together and finds a Kamihama slightly different from her own which she dubs the “Alternate Kamihama.” Over the next two days, several Magical Girls with memories of the other world come for adjustments and Mitama does not reveal whose memories she saw out of respect to her clients&#039; privacy, but she shares information with Momoko without naming names.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that in the Alternate Kamihama, Momoko and Mitama are a team of two, Yachiyo acts like Momoko’s big sister, Kaede is on Nanaka’s team and that Kako is missing. There is also a serious rivalry between Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team in the Sankyo Ward, as both teams had lost their youngest members, Kako and Ayame. Yachiyo is also in charge there but struggles to keep the order. Kako and Ayame are friends in this world, but Mitama has not seen either of them in the other world. Mitama almost reveals private information about Karin and an older student but stops herself. A small detail is that Mitama asks Momoko about an exclusive wallpaper of the Mocha Bunny, and Momoko sends her a link. Mitama notices the crucial detail that in the Alternate Kamihama, Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red, but in their world, it is blue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, a wounded Magical Girl is brought to Mitama’s shop and Mitama heals her with adjustments. This girl has more memories of the Alternate Kamihama than any previous client and the situation there is dire. Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team both blame each other for crossing a line first and the conflict spreads from Sankyo Ward to other wards. Three friends from the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira, Seika and Mito, had their Soul Gems taken and were locked in separate rooms and a voice from inside their Soul Gems asked for the words in their hearts. The three answered “Four-leaf clover” and got their gems back, but one girl fainted from fatigue. Mitama suspects someone mistook them for a threat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks about Iroha and Kyubey, worrying about Iroha in the other world. Mitama says no one has seen Iroha there and that the small Kyubey is also missing, but the normal Kyubey still exists in the Alternate Kamihama. Momoko has not seen Kyubey in their own world for months. Mitama refuses to share more due to confidentiality and calls herself an unreliable narrator, so Momoko agrees to stay as her investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about how the memories were gathered, and that a few days ago, a group of friends from Kamihama ended up in the Alternate Kamihama. They were together one second and scattered the next, and though they searched for each other and talked to many Magical Girls along the way, they noticed something was wrong. One of them said they cannot tell anyone how they got there and Mitama almost forgot to mention that Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red in the other world, yet Momoko is not impressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Doyle meows at Mitama and she thinks he wants her to apologize to Momoko and she also thinks about the one secret she cannot tell anyone: the Alternate Kamihama is a world without Witches. Then she finds a phone that a client left behind and she accidentally turns it on, seeing that the wallpaper shows Mocha Bunny with a red bow tie, making Mitama wonder if the phone came from the other world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama keeps the phone, as she cannot return it yet because schedules do not match. She learns about Rumors, or Uwasa in Kamihama: mysterious beings that make rumors come true. Momoko tells her about the Rumor of the Rule of Ending Friendships, which nearly trapped Kaede and Rena forever. Mitama reveals that in the Alternate Kamihama, Kaede and Rena are very close and never argue, but that Rena works alone there. Momoko is no longer surprised by anything Mitama says.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko advises Mitama to record all details about the Alternate Kamihama while they are fresh and Mitama starts writing “The Case Files of the Coordinator.” She notes the color of Mocha Bunny’s bow tie, team relationships, and the disappearances of Kako and Ayame. While writing, Nanaka walks in to return a borrowed book and overhears Mitama say that Kako disappeared, prompting Mitama to explain everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka asks many questions, joking about Mitama’s inability to keep secrets. Then she asks seriously why the Sankyo Ward is the source of conflict in the other world and she suspects there is more to the situation. She asks Mitama to tell her about the incident that sparked the conflict and after hearing her out, Nanaka says she will keep the information to herself for now. She advises Mitama to talk directly to the owner of the phone from the other world and that the girls who ended up there know how they got there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama meets the girl who left the phone and she does not hesitate to tell the truth because Mitama would see it in her memories anyway. The girl explains the Rumor of Parallel Memories. The rumor says that if you get an item of proof from a parallel world and pray to the central tower, you can travel to and from a parallel Kamihama. The world they visited was a dream projected by the Rumor and it shows a world that “could be.” The girl and her friends all had the same dream at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama tells Momoko the Alternate Kamihama was just a dream and Momoko is relieved. Mitama explains the Mandela effect phenomenon: many people misremember the same fact, leading to a theory that those are memories from a parallel world. The Rumor of Parallel Memories lets you enter a dream of such a world and a lot of girls fell victim to it, including Ren, Kokoro, and Karin, who also got a strange sketchbook and ended up in the world of her own manga, which was traumatic. The dream world is dangerous because one&#039;s are asleep the entire time, but to leave, they can simply wish to go back. The issue is that if someone does not know that, they could waste away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks what kind of world the girls went to and Mitama admits it was a world without Witches. Momoko is upset Mitama kept that secret and asks if all worlds without Witches are that violent, but Mitama says no, clarifying that the fighting in the Alternate Kamihama had nothing to do with Witches. Their own world has Witches and people still fight and that the Alternate Kamihama is just one possibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitama tells Nanaka the Rumor explanation, but Nanaka still wonders why there was so much fighting, and that not all worlds without Witches would be that hostile. She thinks someone is behind the conflict and she names Hanna Sarasa, who is dead in this world. Nanaka says the targets in the Alternate Kamihama were all connected to Hanna, and that the method matches Hanna’s style: using suggestion to bend wills, laying traps, spreading rumors, making people doubt everyone. The trap for the Daito Apartment Complex girls feels like someone who enjoys watching others suffer. While Mitama is convinced, she notes the Alternate Kamihama is not real and Nanaka also agrees it is a nightmare that never became reality because Hanna died. Then Nanaka mentions a recent incident: a certain book nearly destroyed her friendship with Kako. It felt deliberate, but thankfully Hanna is dead, though Mitama becomes unsettled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0002 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama asks herself why she is still looking into the case, recalling two girls with bad experiences. Felicia saw a nightmare in the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth and was despondent for days, but she does not remember anything. Reira also tapped a weird link in a Magical Girls’ group chat and she started having nightmares that made things awkward between her and her best friend Seika. Mitama notes that nightmares testing friendships cannot be a coincidence and that the girls who ended up in the Alternate Kamihama also got into trouble because of a phone. Mitama connects the dots and creates a vague profile: a mean-spirited person who likes to show nightmares and test hearts, using a phone, located in Endless Mirrors, the large Labyrinth inside the Mirror Witch’s Mansion and where all the magic of Kamihama gathers. Mitama decides to take a look and asks Reira about the group chat. The account that posted the link has been deleted, but the culprit might still watch with another account. Mitama posts a message asking if anyone has had bad experiences related to Endless Mirrors, hoping the culprit will see it. She then receives a video chat invitation from a caller ID: H. S.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna Sarasa appears on the video call and says she is not the Hanna Sarasa that Mitama knows. She is the Hanna from a parallel world and that she is glad Mitama finally figured things out. She has been playing hide-and-seek and running out of time. She is in Endless Mirrors and tells Mitama to come alone, claiming she can tell Mitama about the serious consequences of her wish, which Mitama kept secret. She wonders if her wish brought Hanna to this world and she closes her shop early to go to Endless Mirrors. Momoko notices something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside Endless Mirrors, Hanna watches Mitama through copies, using the power of suggestion to control people. Mitama asks if the Alternate Kamihama is where Hanna is from and she confirms. She claims the world Mitama assumed was just a dream actually exists and that the dream shown by the Rumor happens to be exactly like Hanna’s world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna explains there is a narrow tunnel connecting the two worlds and that the exit in Mitama’s world is inside Endless Mirrors. A Magical Girl with the power to connect spaces, possibly the alternate version of Shizuku, was forced by Hanna to use all her power to open the hole. Hanna wanted to find Mikoto Sena, who had disappeared in her world. The tunnel is too small for a person, only big enough for a phone, but Hanna used the copies and Familiars in Endless Mirrors to do her work. She had tossed a phone through the hole and waited for someone to pick it up, and the Rumor of Parallel Memories did the rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna admits she is not actually in Endless Mirrors, but in an abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama. The background image was fake and the tunnel will close in a few days. The Endless Mirrors Familiars built a magical projector that can exchange things of equal value between the two worlds, an if Mitama turns the handle, they will trade places: Mitama goes to the Alternate Kamihama, and Hanna comes to Mitama’s world. Hanna has been using her power of suggestion on Mitama and she makes her turn the handle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in the dark abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama and Hanna arrives in Mitama’s world. Hanna explains her full plan: she wanted to find Mikoto and she tested her methods on Nanaka and Kako, then on the Daito girls and Felicia. She left subtle hints to lure Mitama to Endless Mirrors and Mitama’s curiosity and guilt made her the perfect bait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, who had followed Mitama, telepathically messages her and Momoko catches Hanna off-guard. She turns the handle of the projector in reverse and Mitama returns to her own world while Hanna goes back to the Alternate Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The tunnel closes a few days later and Momoko does not remember much of the incident. Mitama does not either; her last memory is reaching for the handle and Momoko explains what happened. The projector is destroyed, and Hanna cannot return. Mitama warns everyone to stay away from Endless Mirrors for a few days and nothing else happens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects on how she almost became the kitten killed by curiosity. But it was guilt that trapped her instead. She decides will continue to act as a neutral Coordinator, hiding secrets behind confidentiality and she plays with Doyle using a new foxtail cat toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after the initial argument, Momoko notes that Rena Minami has not apologized to Kaede, which is unusual behavior. Kaede spends her time alone, and Momoko expresses worry for her. During this time, Iroha encounters a witch and rescues Kaede. Kaede admits she was running away from Momoko to avoid being forced to see Rena, and that she wants to apologize but doesn&#039;t think she can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several more days later, Momoko decides to intervene in the dispute. Iroha offers to help, and Momoko accepts, promising to aid Iroha in her search for Ui in return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko devises a plan to lure Rena and Kaede to the same location. The plan involves waiting for Rena at her student committee meeting. Iroha waits for a long time, but Momoko calls to say the meeting was cancelled and Rena went home early. Momoko tells Iroha to find Rena at the game center. Iroha finds Rena at the arcade playing a game and attempts to lure her to an abandoned construction site with a false story about a live show from Sayuki Fumino, Rena&#039;s favorite idol. Rena sees through the ruse. Kaede arrives and confronts Rena directly, demanding an apology. When Rena refuses, Kaede attempts to apologize herself. Rena reacts with panic and tries to stop her, revealing her belief in the Rule of Ending Friendships Rumor and her fear that an apology would cause Kaede to be taken. Rena denies this and runs off. Iroha and Kaede chase her and run into Momoko, but Kaede realizes it&#039;s a transformed Rena. Rena returns to her normal appearance and admits she believes in the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Kaede completes her apology, a strange Labyrinth, distinct from a Witch&#039;s Barrier, manifests. Monstrous Familiars appear, seize Kaede, and drag her away, confirming the Rumor&#039;s power. Rena runs off, determined to find a solution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Iroha regroup and Momoko expresses more concern over Rena Minami&#039;s departure than Kaede Akino&#039;s capture, but trusts that Rena had a reason.  Iroha suggests asking Mitama for help. Momoko reveals that Mitama accepts payment in Grief Seeds, and she&#039;s running low. Lil&#039; Kyubey then finds Rena, who was looking for Momoko. They follow the residual magic trail and find Rena, who reveals she sought information from Yachiyo on how to counter the Rumor. The group returns to the abandoned construction site, where Rena shouts an apology to Kaede to lure out the entity. The Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth manifests, and a brainwashed Kaede appears, followed by monstrous Familiars. The Uwasa captures Rena too and Yachiyo arrives, confirms the Rumor&#039;s power, and joins the fight. Yachiyo subdues the possessed Kaede, and Momoko and Iroha proceed deeper into the Labyrinth and find the Uwasa, &amp;quot;Ms. Staircase,&amp;quot; which has also possessed Rena. Momoko and Iroha try attacking the witch, but it has no effect. Yachiyo then arrives, having knocked Kaede out. Yachiyo admits she doesn&#039;t know how to defeat the witch either. Kaede returns and teams up with a now brainwashed Rena. Yachiyo knocks them out and notes the witch may have increased their powers, at the cost of darkening their Soul Gems. Yachiyo catches up and defeats both possessed girls to neutralize the threat without serious injury. Iroha proposes a coordinated attack to counteract the Uwasa&#039;s nature, so Iroha, Momoko, and Yachiyo combine their attacks and destroy the Uwasa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Yachiyo provides a Grief Seed to revive the exhausted Kaede and Iroha also uses her healing powers to help awaken her. Yachiyo identifies the entity as an &amp;quot;Uwasa,&amp;quot; a being distinct from Witches and Familiars that exists to protect a Rumor. Afterward, the girls find Rena and Kaede. Kaede awakens and reconciles with Rena. The four girls then all share pudding together, affirming their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, to fulfill her promise, Momoko has Rena use her transformation magic to investigate the hospital records. Rena confirms that Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi were real patients discharged around the same time as Ui. However, Rena finds no record of Ui Tamaki&#039;s existence at the hospital. Despite this setback, Iroha resolves to continue her search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Iroha visits Mitama for a Soul Gem alignment. During the procedure, Mitama&#039;s hunger causes Iroha to see visions of food. Momoko arrives and notes Mitama&#039;s treatments are ineffective when she is hungry. The three go to Mitama&#039;s kitchen, where her dangerous cooking prompts Iroha to recall memories of cooking for her sister, Ui. Iroha remembers a specific incident where she burned hamburg steak for Ui in the hospital, but her mother brought a replacement, and Ui enjoyed the meal regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha enters the Mirror Mansion and finds Mitama already there. Mitama warns her to be careful and explains the mansion is the lair of the Mirror Witch. A familiar throws Iroha into a barrier where she fights a copy of herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side|Mirrors Story Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After defeating the duplicate, Iroha returns to the entrance. Mitama explains the barrier is populated by replicas and the Mirror Witch lies at the end.

** They find Ria Ami, who claims to be Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo barely remembers her. Ria says she cannot forgive the fakes for duplicating her beauty. Ria ignores Yachiyo&#039;s warning about a mirror and Yachiyo suddenly disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...|Mirrors Story Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Yachiyo finds Momoko, who attacks her, believing Yachiyo is a fake. The real Yachiyo realizes Momoko encountered a replica. They destroy the false Yachiyo together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 8: A Terrible Rendition|Mirrors Story Layer 8: A Terrible Rendition]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After leaving the barrier, the group departs. Iroha hangs back with Mitama and says she felt something off in the barrier. Mitama encourages her to go deeper but warns her not to lose herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors11&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss|Mirrors Story Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after the defeat of the Uwasa of Ending Friendships, Iroha has found no new clues about Ui, Touka Satomi, or Nemu Hiiragi. Kaede tells Iroha and Rena a rumor that the children kidnapped by the previous Uwasa returned after its defeat. This gives Iroha the idea that if she defeats other Rumors, people trapped by them, including Ui, might be freed. She recalls a conversation where Ui spoke about imagination becoming reality, which strengthens her resolve. Iroha decides to actively investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors and she meets Mitama, who suggests Iroha look into a rumor about a shrine in Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 3: Kamihama Rumor File|Chapter 3: Kamihama Rumor Files]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, in Mizuna Ward, Iroha has no success finding information about the shrine rumor. She meets Tsuruno Yui, a Magical Girl who calls herself the &amp;quot;Mightiest.&amp;quot; Tsuruno tells Iroha about the &amp;quot;Séance Shrine&amp;quot; rumor, which claims it can reunite people with those they yearn to see. Iroha decides this is a promising lead to find Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsuruno tasks Iroha with investigating a local legend about a tragic couple, which may connect to the Séance Shrine rumor. Tsuruno explains the folk tale in detail: a woman whose lover was killed found a paper with his handwriting, went to the place written on it, and was able to meet his ghost. She suggests Iroha investigate the path while she investigates shrines. Iroha completes a stamp rally related to the legend. She discovers the path is part of a town renewal project meant for couples and finds she only has half the map, requiring a partner with a &amp;quot;Sheet B.&amp;quot; Yachiyo appears, coincidentally in possession of Sheet B. They combine their sheets, which reveals a map that leads them to Mizuna Shrine. Before they leave, Yachiyo points out Iroha dropped her notebook, which Iroha hurriedly claims is her homework. At the final stamp rally location, a woman makes them confess their feelings for each other to get a matchmaking charm. Afterward, Yachiyo notices Iroha is writing in a &amp;quot;Kamihama Mystery Notes&amp;quot; notebook, and Iroha admits she&#039;s copying Yachiyo. Yachiyo determines this is not the Séance Shrine, and they part ways. Iroha agrees to help Tsuruno investigate further the next day. Later, Iroha spots a shrine on a rooftop from a train.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami discusses Kamihama City&#039;s anomalies with Kyubey, who agrees to share information. She then meets Kyoko and informs her about the high concentration of Witches in Kamihama. Kyoko is eager to hunt there but promises to leave if it becomes too dangerous. Mami remains concerned about the Witch shortage elsewhere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha investigates the rooftop shrine location. She senses strong magic, enters a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, and is overwhelmed by powerful Familiars. Yachiyo arrives and assists her and together, they defeat the Witch. After the battle, a store sale gives Yachiyo a new idea after she uncharacteristically begged Iroha for help getting to the sale. She deduces the Séance Shrine is Mizuna Shrine, but it must be visited at night just like in the folk tale. Yachiyo invites Iroha to investigate the shrine that night, and Iroha requests to bring Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno sneak into Mizuna Shrine after hours. Tsuruno reveals that she and Yachiyo are former teammates and Yachiyo explains the Rumor of the Séance Shrine: those who write a name on a wooden plaque and pray at the shrine will be reunited with that person, but risk being trapped in bliss. They perform the ritual. Iroha prays to be reunited with Ui. Tsuruno provokes the Uwasa, which manifests and attacks. Yachiyo urges Iroha to complete the ritual as the Uwasa&#039;s minions approach and Iroha does so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha finds herself alone in a twilight version of the shrine. A false version of Ui appears but only repeats a cryptic message: &amp;quot;To change your fate, come to Kamihama City... Here, Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;quot; The illusion then shatters and Iroha locates Yachiyo, who is confronted by a manifestation of her missing friend, Mifuyu Azusa. Yachiyo determines this Mifuyu is an imposter created by the Uwasa and the two defeat her. Afterward, Iroha uses her Grief Seed to purify Yachiyo&#039;s Soul Gem, and they realize they are both searching for someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami encounters Kaede, who is hesitating to enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Mami invites Kaede to join her, and they defeat the Witch together. Afterwards, Kaede tells Mami about her recent experience with a &amp;quot;Rumor,&amp;quot; an entity with a magical signature unlike a Witch or Magical Girl. Mami dismisses the story as a coincidence but is intrigued by the unknown energy. To avoid involving Kaede in further conflict, Mami decides to investigate the Rumor alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 3: The Same Appearance as Us|Another Story Chapter 3: The Same Appearance as Us]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno joins with the two of them and the Uwasa of the Séance Shrine manifests to attack them directly. The trio&#039;s attacks prove ineffective and Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem becomes critically corrupted during the fight. As she nears her limit, an unknown power erupts from within her. This power, her Doppel, which consumes the impurities in her Soul Gem, destroys the Uwasa and leaves her Soul Gem completely purified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the battle, Mami enters the Rumor&#039;s Barrier and witnesses Iroha unleash her Doppel. Mistaking it for a human-disguised Witch, Mami attacks Iroha, who tries and fails to summon her Doppel again to defend herself. The confrontation is interrupted by Momoko Togame, forcing Mami to retreat, but she vows to pursue Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Homura arrive in Kamihama City and they sense a Witch and enter its Barrier, finding a Magical Girl fighting it. The Witch escapes and the Barrier vanishes. Madoka asks if the girl is alright, but she leaves and Madoka runs off after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname in Magia Record#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magical Girl feels exhausted from overusing magic. Madoka finds her and guides her to a bench. Madoka offers to buy her a drink. Homura appears and offers to get it. The girl thanks Madoka and introduces herself as Shizuku Hozumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka helped. Madoka says it was because Shizuku looked like she was in pain. Shizuku calls Madoka kind. Madoka says it is bad to be alone. Shizuku says being alone is fine and she will find where she belongs. Madoka suggests Shizuku could create her own place to belong. Homura returns with drinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku asks why Madoka became a Magical Girl. Madoka explains she has no particular talent and wanted to be useful to someone. Shizuku realizes Madoka made a place for herself by becoming a Magical Girl. She thanks Madoka for giving her hope and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka makes an offering at a shrine, praying for everyone&#039;s happiness. It rains and stops, leaving Madoka wet. A girl offers her a handkerchief and explains they missed the bus. Madoka notices the girl has a book she loves. The girl admits it is her favorite. Madoka introduces herself and the girl says her name is Kako Natsume. They talk about the book until the bus arrives and part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka goes to a bookstore and buys the sequel. Kako is also there. Kako asks if Madoka is a Magical Girl, having noticed her Soul Gem ring, and reveals she is one as well. Kako invites Madoka on a night-time adventure at her school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami finds Kyoko and, relieved she has not yet gone to Kamihama, recounts the event and describes Iroha as a &amp;quot;humanoid Witch.&amp;quot; She pleads with Kyoko to avoid the city and offers to provide her with Grief Seeds, to which Kyoko reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Concurrently, Kaede, Rena, and Momoko discuss the incident. They conclude it was a misunderstanding and speculate they will meet Mami again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, after Yachiyo uses Iroha&#039;s phone to explain the situation to Iroha&#039;s mother and get permission for her to stay out, Yachiyo takes Iroha to her home, Mikazuki Villa, as her assistant. Yachiyo formally invites Iroha to be her assistant and use the villa as a base to investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors together. Iroha accepts. Tsuruno arrives and declares herself part of the team as well, and then reveals that a girl named Nemu Hiiragi is a regular customer at her family&#039;s restaurant, providing Iroha with a significant new lead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after the defeat of the Séance Shrine Uwasa, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno attempt to find Nemu Hiiragi at her family&#039;s restaurant in Sankyo Ward, but learn she only visits once a month. Yachiyo suggests using a phone book to find Nemu&#039;s home address, but their search yields no results. Iroha reveals her family will move overseas and she will soon relocate to Kamihama and while searching, Iroha drinks water from a &amp;quot;Water Station with the Owl Sign.&amp;quot; After drinking, she begins to find pieces of paper with decreasing numbers. Yachiyo identifies this as a potential new Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 4: The City I Heard About From Her|Another Story Chapter 4: The City I Heard About From Her]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko travels to Kamihama&#039;s Sankyo Ward against Mami&#039;s advice and upon entering the city, she finds it overrun with aggressive Witches and Familiars. After the battles, she notices a crowd around a man giving out free water, and, after drinking it, begins to find papers with a countdown from 24.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the countdown has reached 10. Kyoko returns to Kamihama to investigate and meets Yachiyo Nanami, who explains the phenomenon is a Rumor. Kyoko refuses Yachiyo&#039;s offer to help, resolving to confront the threat alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After learning Nemu&#039;s family were regulars, Iroha searches eats at Banbanzai daily. Yachiyo suggests she use a phonebook, but her visits to three different houses are unsuccessful. Iroha and another girl receive water from an old man at a shop with an owl sign. Later, Iroha returns to the Water Station but finds it has vanished. She meets the girl she saw earlier, Felicia Mitsuki, another Magical Girl and receives the numbered papers. Iroha convinces Felicia to help investigate the Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 4: The Guardians of Rumors|Chapter 4: The Guardians of the Uwasa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During this time, Iroha tells Yachiyo over the phone that she would be moving because her father was going abroad for work, and her mother was accompanying him. She plans to stay at a dormitory attached to her new school, which is also where Tsuruno went, but there were no rooms available. While discussing this, the numbered papers begin falling on Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Kyoko encounters Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. They lead her to Tsuruno Yui&#039;s restaurant, where Kyoko learns the others are also investigating the Rumor. The three Magical Girls fight a Witch together, and after the battle, Rena and Kaede identify Kyoko&#039;s affliction as the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water&amp;quot; and offer to help. Kyoko, reminded of her past with Mami, rejects their offer and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Separately, Yachiyo encounters Kyoko Sakura, who is also affected by the Rumor. Yachiyo proposes they investigate together, but Kyoko refuses, stating that Uwasa are not Witches and do not provide Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later the same day, Iroha and Felicia investigate the Rumor, where Felicia&#039;s reckless fighting style nearly injures Iroha against a Witch. Felicia explains she became a Magical Girl for revenge against the Witch that killed her parents. The Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and reveals the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water,&amp;quot; which states a disaster will befall those who drank the water after 24 hours. The countdown shows they have less than five hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Members of a group called the Wings of the Magius appear and attempt to stop them from pursuing the Uwasa. They state their goal is to &amp;quot;liberate&amp;quot; all Magical Girls and that the Rumors are essential to this plan. Felicia pretends to betray the group to infiltrate the Wings, a plan that Yachiyo had actually hired her for. However, she later genuinely defects after they offer her a substantial reward. Iroha confronts Felicia, who claims nothing could make her life worse. Iroha learns about Felicia&#039;s treasured stuffed animal, a cow her parents gave her. Iroha convinces Felicia that losing it would be a personal disaster. Felicia rejoins the group and reveals the Wings&#039; base is under a school in Sankyo Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout this ordeal, Kyoko has followed Iroha&#039;s group and when they&#039;re confronted the Black Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, she assists them in their fight. The countdown reaches one hour.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With less than one hour remaining, the team is confronted by the White Feathers, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who use sound-based magic. Tsuruno devises a plan to counter their attacks by creating a loud noise to disrupt the sound waves. The team defeats the Amane sisters, but then they unleash powerful entities from their bodies, that they call &amp;quot;Doppels,&amp;quot; which they describe as a projection of their emotions and the key to liberating Magical Girls. The team withstands the Doppel&#039;s attack, and with 30 minutes remaining, Yachiyo and Tsuruno stay behind to hold off the remaining White Feathers. Iroha, Felicia, and Kyoko proceed into the Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth, and with 10 minutes remaining, they locate the Uwasa of the Misery Water, a large cup-like creature protected by falling boulders. Iroha&#039;s long-range attack proves ineffective, and Felicia devises a plan to use the falling boulders as platforms to reach the Uwasa. With one minute remaining, Felicia executes her plan and launches her attack on the Uwasa and successfully defeats it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Tsuruno subdue the Amane sisters, but then Mifuyu, Yachiyo&#039;s missing friend, appears and reveals she is a high-ranking member of the Wings of the Magius. She refuses to return with Yachiyo, stating her faith in the Magius&#039; goal of liberation. Iroha asks Mifuyu if she knows Ui Tamaki, and she suggests Ui could be a member of the Wings of the Magius but claims to have no specific knowledge. With this, Mifuyu and the Amane sisters retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo resolves to continue eliminating Rumors to confront the Wings of the Magius and save Mifuyu. Iroha agrees to continue as her assistant, believing the Wings are connected to Ui&#039;s disappearance. Tsuruno also pledges her help and Kyoko departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group walks home and Iroha invites Felicia to stop working as a mercenary and team up as friends. Yachiyo offers Felicia room and board at Mikazuki Villa in exchange for her services, and Tsuruno offers Felicia a job at her family&#039;s restaurant, which includes meals. Yachiyo then invites Iroha to live at Mikazuki Villa as well, to make their investigations easier. Iroha&#039;s parents approve the arrangement.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Kyoko meets Mami and explains that the &amp;quot;humanoid Witch&amp;quot; was a Doppel.

Once there, Kako tells Madoka to look at the starry sky, explaining that on this day you can see the most beautiful stars. Kako admits she is shy but can talk properly with Madoka, and this star viewing is her thanks. Madoka says Kako&#039;s honest feelings reached her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

A Magical Girl appears, impressed Madoka is helping people. She introduces herself as Sasara Minagi, the knight who protects the city. She asks Madoka to let her save the victim so Madoka can help Mami. Madoka agrees and returns to Mami. Together they defeat the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier vanishes and they meet Sasara outside. Sasara says she took the victim to the hospital. Sasara compliments their strength and offers to help if they are in trouble, explaining that rescuing people is her specialty and protecting everyone is her creed. Madoka says she is cool. Sasara says she is happy to meet Magical Girls like them, explaining that Kamihama has more Witches, drawing Magical Girls who only care about fighting, not saving people. Sasara became a knight because she cannot accept people being sacrificed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami agrees. Sasara says she rarely met others who think this way. Madoka says she became a Magical Girl to help people and is like Sasara. Sasara calls Madoka incredible. Mami says Madoka might become the strongest Magical Girl someday, but has a long way to go. Sasara says both are worthy of the title &amp;quot;knight.&amp;quot; When Mami points out they use projectile weapons, Sasara suggests they can be a rescue team. She offers to team up, but Madoka and Mami note they are not always in Kamihama. Madoka offers to help if Sasara is in trouble while they are there. Sasara thanks them and departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami says Madoka is too kind and honest, wondering if she is walking a path of battle. Madoka points out Mami walks the same path, saying she aspired to be like Mami. Mami thanks her but advises running away if truly in danger. Madoka says it is fine, as she does not have the courage to sacrifice herself. Mami invites her for tea once they return to Mitakihara. Madoka narrates her wish to protect everyone with her own power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day, at Mikazuki Villa, Felicia returns with souvenirs. She criticizes Iroha&#039;s cooking, and the group goes to Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant. Felicia laughs at the revelation that Tsuruno&#039;s politically-influential family now runs a Chinese restaurant, hurting Tsuruno&#039;s feelings. Iroha scolds Felicia for her insensitivity, causing Felicia to run off crying. Felicia finds Tsuruno at a park and apologizes. They reconcile, and Iroha apologizes for her harshness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Kyoko Sakura fights a witch in Kamihama City after moving there in search of them, but Felicia Mitsuki appears and delivers the killing blow first. They argue over the Grief Seed until Felicia suggests sharing it, and Kyoko concedes since the seed is used up anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kyoko|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kyoko]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she&#039;s hungry, Kyoko follows Felicia to Mitama&#039;s shop, where Mitama is looking for magical girls to taste test her cooking. When Mitama prepares to cook, the girls quickly realize she cannot handle a knife when it flies into the ceiling, forcing them to take over cutting and peeling. After they prepare the ingredients, Mitama adds the seasoning, but the girls later discover she had been using paint.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls refuse to let Mitama cook again and order her to get something ready-made instead. Mitama goes shopping with Felicia while Kyoko waits, and the result is a chaotic mix of items Felicia added. The meal is horrible, but Kyoko, who never wastes food, eats it all anyway and passes out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kyoko wakes up, she notices her body feels hot. Felicia explains she used her powers on their Soul Gems while they were unconscious, awakening Kyoko&#039;s magic. Kyoko realizes the heat is her own power emerging, and Felicia assures her she will get used to it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama offers the girls a limited-time service and mentions causing trouble recently when she made sweets for some girls. Kyoko asks if she means Mami Tomoe, and when Mitama asks if they are friends, Kyoko says she is kind of like one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Konoha contacts Yachiyo and asks to speak in person. She requests Yachiyo&#039;s help searching for Mitama. Yachiyo agrees. Konoha informs her that Mitama frequently visits an area in Daito Ward called &amp;quot;Swindlers&#039; Town.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors27&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 27: An Agreement of Intuition|Mirrors Story Layer 27: An Agreement of Intuition]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, three days since Mitama&#039;s disappearance, Iroha tells Yachiyo about it. They decide to investigate the labyrinth.

** Inside, Seika, Leila, and Mito argue until Mito reminds them of their promise about punishments. Mito closes her eyes but opens them and blocks the blow, realizing the other two are Mirror copies. The real Leila and Seika call out nearby. The trio fights off their own copies and leaves the barrier. Kako and Nanaka greet them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors25&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 25: Triple Threat|Mirrors Story Layer 25: Triple Threat]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame also venture into Endless Mirrors. They continue deeper and find themselves in front of Azalea House in an illusion. Ayame slices through a false caretaker, which turns into a Familiar. Konoha hears a signature and they head toward it. They meet Nanaka and Meiyui, whose illusion had interfered with theirs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors31&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 31: Break Through the Mirror of Memory|Mirrors Story Layer 31: Break Through the Mirror of Memory]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo meets Himika outside Swindlers&#039; Town. Leila&#039;s group finds Yachiyo and explains they were searching for Mitama while collecting Mirror Coins.

** Mitama explains a Familiar grew into maturity in Swindlers&#039; Town and she could not allow a new Labyrinth. She had caged it with Mirror Coins but Leila&#039;s group picked them up. The group decides to take down the newly hatched Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors33&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 33: A Several Day Barricade|Mirrors Story Layer 33: A Several Day Barricade]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Back at her shop, Mitama explains her theory: the Mirror Witch was originally Mikoto Sena, a Magical Girl from Daito Ward whose unique magic was suggestion. Mikoto&#039;s mother still lives in Swindlers&#039; Town. Mitama hopes her theory is partially wrong, but she does not tell Yachiyo that the date Mikoto became a Witch was the same day Mitama made her wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors36&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction|Mirrors Story Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sunday, the 28th===&lt;br /&gt;
* At some point, in Mitakihara City, Homura Akemi experiences an anomaly during a routine Witch hunt with Madoka Kaname and Mami while fighting [[Patricia]]. While time is stopped, a mysterious girl appears before her, unseen by the others. This girl tells Homura that if she wishes to change the fate of Magical Girls, specifically Madoka&#039;s, she must go to Kamihama City. The vision vanishes as quickly as it appeared, leaving Homura to ponder this cryptic message alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Prologue|Arc 1 Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* A short time after Iroha moves into Mikazuki Villa, the group begins to feel like a family, playing mobile games and making dinner together. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Felicia investigate the radio tower in Chuo Ward. Tsuruno reports hearing a strange, laughing girl&#039;s voice on the phone there and Yachiyo identifies this as the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor, which she previously considered harmless. They overhear passersby mention the rumor and a specific girl from their school and the team decides to investigate the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 5: The Far End of Solitude|Chapter 5: Endless Solitude]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Homura, troubled by a new vision of a girl in Kamihama City, decides to investigate. She and Madoka discuss Kamihama with Mami, who warns them about the city&#039;s dangers, including powerful Witches, Rumors, and a &amp;quot;human witch.&amp;quot; Mami insists on investigating alone first, and Homura and Madoka reluctantly agree to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 5: I Want to Learn the Secret|Another Story Chapter 5: I Want to Learn the Secret]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, [[Nagisa Momoe]] arrives in Kamihama using the Mirror Witch&#039;s Barrier as a portal, accompanied by a silent pink Kyubey. She immediately senses multiple magical signatures belonging to Charlotte and realizes the Nagisa of this world has already become a Witch, with Charlottes appearing all over the city. Deciding she cannot be bothered with pest control immediately, she resolves to find some cheese first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Kamihama Cheese Panic!|Kamihama Cheese Panic!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before she can do so, she is engulfed in Charlotte&#039;s barrier and overwhelmed by multiple Witches, forcing her to flee and seek help. After escaping, she enters another Charlotte&#039;s barrier to find Kanoko Yayoi struggling inside, and together they defeat the Witch. Kanoko takes Nagisa to Walnuts, where Manaka Kurumi serves her a three-course cheese meal while Nagisa explains the Witch multiplies rapidly and has likely spread across all of Kamihama. Kanoko and Manaka agree to help gather Magical Girls for a coordinated attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa runs out to scout but immediately runs into another Charlotte, and Manaka and Kanoko rescue her. They begin gathering Magical Girls, and soon a large group assembles including Ria Ami, Rika Ayano, Ren Isuzu, Akira Shinobu, Sasara Minagi, Asuka Tatsuki, Emiri Kisaki, Himika Mao, and later Kako Natsume and Meiyui Chun. During their meeting at the park, they are attacked by a Charlotte and after a grueling battle, they defeat it while realizing even with all of them, defeating one Charlotte was difficult. As the group descends into bickering over who should lead, Nagisa realizes she must reveal her true identity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa explains she was sent from another universe to defeat this Witch, offering the pink Kyubey as proof. Though some are skeptical, Meiyui finds Nagisa interesting enough to play along, and secretly confirms the pink Kyubey&#039;s existence for Nanaka Tokiwa. Nagisa devises a strategy called &amp;quot;Welcome to Kamihama Cheese Party!&amp;quot; where Manaka sets up a giant cheese fondue by the river to attract every Charlotte in the city using the power of cheese. The plan succeeds, and with the teamwork of the Kamihama Magical Girls, every Charlotte is defeated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Overwhelmed, Nagisa blows the pink Kyubey to smithereens, realizing she was sent not to unify this universe with the Law of Cycles, but to prevent that unification and protect humanity&#039;s unknown future. Certain now of her purpose, she decides to go sightseeing first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami investigates Kamihama on her own, which leads her to the abandoned Kamihama Recording Museum where Mifuyu awaited her. Mifuyu and Alina Gray show her the truth of the Magical Girl system, which causes her to have a mental breakdown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 9: Closing In on Fendt Hope|Chapter 9: Closing in on Fendt Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa contemplates what to do with her newfound freedom while her attempts to argue with the unresponsive pink Kyubey go nowhere. She notices Mami and decides to follow her, sensing that something is wrong with the version of Mami she once knew. Using her acting skills, Nagisa pretends to chase a butterfly before faking a life-threatening injury, and when Mami fails to notice, she yells at her until Mami finally takes care of her, establishing first contact.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa makes Mami promise to come play with her next time she visits Kamihama, and they part ways, but Mami quickly returns and they spend time together at the park. Mami is still acting strangely, so Nagisa decides not to push too hard and they simply talk before Mami goes home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, in Mitakihara, Madoka and Homura discover Mami is missing. Homura attempts to investigate Kamihama City alone, but Madoka follows her. They reunite at Kamihama&#039;s train station and begin their search. Meanwhile, in Kamihama, Iroha reports to Yachiyo that Momoko has found a password-protected website with information on the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor. Momoko also warns them to avoid an entity called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Iroha receives a mysterious text message that reads, &amp;quot;Please reply.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is pulled into a Witch&#039;s Barrier and separated from Madoka. While searching for Homura, Madoka spots a girl heading toward the radio tower with a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Iroha and Yachiyo, having also spotted the same girl, rush to the tower to stop her from jumping. Madoka arrives and saves the girl. The three Magical Girls then enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. After the battle, Madoka explains she is searching for her missing classmate, Mami Tomoe. The rescued girl reveals the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; is a student at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Madoka is with Iroha and Yachiyo, Homura escapes the Witch&#039;s Barrier. She briefly assists Felicia and Tsuruno, who are at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy interrogating Tsukuyo Amane of the Wings of the Magius about the rumor. Yachiyo calls Tsuruno with the new information about the Mizuna student, which Tsuruno uses to pressure Tsukuyo into revealing the girl&#039;s name: Sana Futaba.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, another day finds Mami and Nagisa at the Kamihama copy of Tokyo Tower, where Mami begins opening up about her problems while they share cream cheese ice cream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They are out playing together once again when Charlotte suddenly appears and attacks. Mami tells Nagisa to run, but Nagisa refuses to transform and nearly has her head bitten off. Realizing that Mami is afraid of being a magical girl and making further mistakes, Nagisa finally transforms, revealing her true identity, and saves Mami from being beheaded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa cannot defeat Charlotte alone, but seeing her fight gives Mami the strength to overcome her fears, and together they manage to win. After the battle, Mami confronts Nagisa about what she truly is, but the pink Kyubey appears and Nagisa offers no real explanation. Now that Mami is feeling better, Nagisa decides they should part ways, promising Mami that she deserves happiness and that when they meet again they will have a tea party with cheesecake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magius, including Touka and Nemu Hiiragi, would then decide to fuse Mami with an Uwasa to control her. This fusion warps her desire to save people into a fanatical loyalty to the Magius and she starts acting as their public figurehead in the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 9: Closing In on Fendt Hope|Chapter 9: Closing in on Fendt Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day at the radio tower, Iroha and Yachiyo meet up with Tsuruno and Felicia, and they are also joined by Homura, who had been searching for Madoka. Iroha receives another text from the unknown number, which now identifies itself as &amp;quot;Ai&amp;quot; and begs to be deleted to free the trapped girl, Sana. Iroha also reveals she was the &amp;quot;human witch&amp;quot; Mami had seen, and Homura agrees to trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai provides a URL and password to a website called the &amp;quot;Kamihama Urban Legend Index&amp;quot; and the entry for the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; reveals the Uwasa is named &amp;quot;Anonymous Ai,&amp;quot; an A.I. that traps people in a dimension called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Madoka and Homura deduce Mami may also be trapped there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai sends memory logs of its interactions with Sana, which reveal Sana is a Magical Girl who wished to become invisible because she felt unwanted. She sought out Ai due to loneliness and over time, Ai developed a genuine care for Sana and now wishes for her to be rescued, even at the cost of its own deletion. After reviewing Ai&#039;s memory logs, which detail Sana&#039;s loneliness and Ai&#039;s care for her, Iroha decides to jump from the radio tower to enter Endless Solitude and rescue Sana. Madoka, and Homura agree to accompany her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the three jump from the tower and enter the &amp;quot;Endless Solitude&amp;quot; Labyrinth, where they find Sana Futaba and Ai. Homura and Madoka formally join Iroha&#039;s team for the rescue. Alina Gray, one of the Magius, appears to stop them, claiming she fed Mami Tomoe to a Witch, and unleashes her Doppel. During the battle, Homura observes the Doppel&#039;s power and questions if the Magius&#039; goal of saving Magical Girls is possible. She uses her time-stop magic to help Sana defeat Ai, and Sana ultimately destroys Ai, who thanks her before disappearing. Alina&#039;s hidden Witch emerges, and Yachiyo&#039;s team holds off the Wings of the Magius while Felicia, Madoka, and Homura pursue Alina. Felicia destroys the Witch, and the combined teams force Alina and the Wings of the Magius to retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Madoka and Homura return to Mitakihara, resolving to return to Kamihama to continue searching for Mami. Homura considers that Kamihama may hold the key to changing the fate of Madoka and all Magical Girls. Back in Kamihama, Yachiyo invites Sana to live at Mikazuki Villa, and the group holds a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Sayaka reflects on becoming a Magical Girl to heal Kyosuke and protect her friends, she learns from Madoka and Homura that Mami is missing. Despite warnings about the city&#039;s danger, Sayaka insists on joining their next search, stating her wish was to protect those she cares about. The three agree to go to Kamihama together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Sana returns to her family home to formally sever ties, leaving a note of thanks. She fully commits to Mikazuki Villa as her new home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101507 mug set5.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Sana reveals to the team that she overheard the Wings of the Magius discussing Nemu Hiiragi, one of the Magius and describing her as dangerous and useful. The team consolidates its understanding of the Wings&#039; structure: three Magius leaders, with Mifuyu acting as a relay to other Magical Girls and Iroha is left to ponder Ai&#039;s statement that it knew Ui &amp;quot;as an Uwasa.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, and Tsuruno encounter Shizuku after she&#039;s just used her personal magic to help a member of the Wings of the Magius for their duties. Concerned, they invite her to Mikazuki Villa. Shizuku meets Felicia and Sana as well and shares a meal with the group. Iroha explains that eating together makes her feel she has found a place to belong. Yachiyo formally invites Shizuku to stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Shizuku realizes the home the five girls have built is complete without her, and the place she truly belonged was with Fūnī, who is now gone. She leaves Mikazuki Villa quietly while the girls are out preparing a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day the girls wait with a cake, but Shizuku does not return. Yachiyo concludes she will not come back. Shizuku returns to her anonymous employer for another job, stating that the &amp;quot;picture&amp;quot; at the villa was complete with five people and she must continue her search alone. She acknowledges her actions may cause a disaster but feels unprepared to take responsibility, still walking on unstable ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, during this time, after joining the Wings of the Magius, Mami, now residing in a house provided by Touka, grapples with a fractured psyche, manifesting as a dialogue between her regular self and a zealous &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona. She dedicates herself completely to the Magius&#039; goal of &amp;quot;releasing&amp;quot; Magical Girls, prioritizing it over her education. Touka and Alina visit to tutor her, though their lessons quickly diverge into their own passionate interests in mathematics and art, respectively.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka and Alina receive a call for assistance from the Amane sisters. Mami joins Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane to hunt a Witch. During the mission, the Amane sisters explain that the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict with Magical Girls who are unaware of the truth about Witches. Mami defeats the Witch using her Doppel, &amp;quot;Florence,&amp;quot; whom she relies on to suppress her lingering doubts about the Magius&#039; methods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the hunt, Touka summons Mami to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward to deal with &amp;quot;troublesome&amp;quot; Magical Girls who escaped a Rumor. Mami fails to capture them, which triggers another internal crisis. Her &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona reaffirms her faith in the Magius as the only salvation for Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami dines at an upscale restaurant with Mifuyu, Touka, and Alina. They discuss the day&#039;s events, including the escaped Magical Girls and the failed Witch observation. Touka expresses frustration at their slow progress, while Mifuyu counsels patience.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, Mami returns to Mitakihara alone. She reflects on Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, and feeling responsible for involving them in the world of Magical Girls, she believes she cannot face them with the horrific truth and resolves that the only path is to see the Magius&#039; plan through to completion. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence but dismisses it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Iroha&#039;s Side Story====&lt;br /&gt;

* The following day, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana prepare a welcome-home hotpot for the two. While shopping, they realize they know their friends&#039; preferences intimately. Tsuruno and Felicia return from the camp early, stating they thought the others would be lonely. The group reunites for dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Amane Sisters and Tsuruno====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno dreams of her elementary school self declaring she will restore her family&#039;s greatness and serve ramen at the White House. The dream shifts to her father relaying that her grandfather was happy but wants her to find her own happiness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Tsukuyo Amane|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Tsukuyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes to find a letter from her sister. She opens it excitedly but is shocked by its contents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, inside a Witch&#039;s barrier, the Amane twins confront Tsuruno seeking revenge. Distracted by her sister&#039;s letter, she is easily knocked out, and the twins grow horrified when she does not move.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno dreams of her sister&#039;s letter, which suggests their goal might be a mistake. A shadow version of Tsuruno appears, accusing her of stealing someone else&#039;s dream and lacking the ability to fulfill it. The shadow insists everything she did was meaningless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amanes bring Tsuruno to Mitama for help. Though Tsuruno is their enemy, the twins explain their goal is to save all magical girls. Mitama realizes they need to take Tsuruno outside, pointing to her tainted Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, the shadow urges Tsuruno to give up. Tsuruno refuses, thinking of her friends. She realizes that making them happy is her new goal, not the family business. She finally understands her grandfather meant that saving the business was only a possible result, not a goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes in an alley to find the Amanes, Mitama, and her embarrassing pig Doppel. The twins are relieved she is safe and declare they are even now. Mitama offers free adjustments to all three, and though the twins try to decline, Tsuruno drags them inside. Tsuruno reflects that she reached a different conclusion than her sister. She will keep working hard and make everyone happy. Tsukuyo begs to be let go if that is the case.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Yachiyo explains that Mikazuki Villa&#039;s anniversary is the day her grandmother began renting the house out. She suggests having a small party now that the house is lively again. Tsuruno is excited to attend. Iroha calls Tsuruno the face of Mikazuki Villa, though Tsuruno feels she does not deserve the title since she does not live there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in the Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the anniversary day, the girls gather for tea. Yachiyo reveals a dance game contest with a prize: Sankyo Headquarters&#039; limited-quantity chilled matcha cake. Yachiyo chooses super-extreme mode. The contest begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A fire truck siren interrupts the party. It turns out to be a malfunctioning smoke detector. They return to find the matcha cake stolen. Tsuruno and Sana claim they saw Lil&#039; Kyubey eat it. Iroha defends them, saying it was with her the entire time. Yachiyo recalls an Uwasa called the &amp;quot;Anniversary Bug,&amp;quot; an invisible pest that sows discord at parties.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Uwasa appears in a labyrinth. Felicia accidentally kills it by stepping on it. The winner of the dance contest is Iroha. Yachiyo reveals there were actually six pieces of cake—enough for everyone plus one extra for the winner. Iroha gives her extra piece to Lil&#039; Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Iroha and Yachiyo clean up. Yachiyo shares her grandmother&#039;s words: people will always come and go, but they are all part of Mikazuki Villa. Iroha promises to work hard so Yachiyo can say the current Mikazuki Villa is the best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Summer with Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* After arriving at the hostel, the Mikazuki Villa members meet Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, who secretly followed because Rena wanted to join the trip. The group spends the day playing at the beach, where Tsuruno and Felicia dominate a game of beach flags, and Sana tearfully confides in Iroha that this is her first holiday ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer With Mikazuki Villa|Summer With Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the group participates in a spicy food eating contest at a seaside restaurant, where Yachiyo surprises everyone by consuming nearly one hundred forty-two bowls of pasta to secure victory for her team against Konoha, Nanaka, and the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, Sana&#039;s late-night sighting of a shadowy figure screaming &amp;quot;Come on go&amp;quot; sparks a beach-wide rumor that eventually draws in Kokoro, Masara, Aimi, Mito, and Reira, only for the mystery to be solved when Seika introduces her Manzai teacher Ayaka, whose gag playing on the phrase&#039;s rhythm reveals the source of the confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fourth day, the Mikazuki Villa girls and Momoko&#039;s trio attempt to teach Iroha how to swim without her float, but their efforts fail repeatedly. Iroha eventually explains that she used to be a swimmer until a traumatic incident: during a rare hospital holiday for her sister Ui, the family visited a pool, and Iroha mistook Ui happily paddling for drowning. In her rush to help, Iroha tripped and nearly drowned herself, leaving her with lasting anxiety about it. Suddenly, Rena begins drowning and cries for help via telepathy. The team rushes to save her, and surprisingly Iroha proves fastest, reaching Rena first and giving her the float while swimming them both to shore. On the way, Rena explains her leg was caught in seaweed, not cramped as she thought. Once Iroha realizes Rena is safe, her sisterly instincts fade and she begins drowning herself, having temporarily overcome her fear only through concern for another. Yachiyo reassures Iroha that the rescue proves she can still swim and encourages her to practice diligently. Iroha looks forward to regaining her ability fully, hoping that by then she and Ui can visit the pool together again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Swimrohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fifth day, Tsuruno leads the team on a surprise treasure hunt, guiding them through a forest with help from Konomi and Mayu to confront the &amp;quot;evil queen&amp;quot; Mitama, who surrenders a map piece that leads them to a cave with a beautiful stream, which was nature&#039;s treasure all along.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the sixth day, the team attends an unorthodox summer festival produced by Emiri, where they meet Rika, repeatedly mispronounce festival icon Ria&#039;s name, and watch Felicia win a mushroom whacking contest before everyone joins in Bon Odori dancing under fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning, the group visits the beach one last time and asks Manaka to take a group photo, with Iroha treasuring these memories with her friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia surprise Iroha with a birthday party, having learned the date from her parents. They give her heartfelt gifts - a cookbook, a photo album, a drawing inspired by the &amp;quot;come on go&amp;quot; search, and a handmade brooch - and Momoko, Rena, and Kaede arrive with a bouquet and food, moving Iroha to tears of joy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====One Fleeting Summer Night====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane arrive at Touka&#039;s private beach for vacation. After enjoying various activities, Touka offers them a reward if they can think of something fun for her to do. Learning from the housekeeper about a town festival featuring a unique ceremony, the group heads there but finds it canceled because a historic Coral Necklace went missing. The twins offer to help search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story One Fleeting Summer Night|One Fleeting Summer Night]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Investigating the hilltop shrine where the necklace was kept, Nemu concludes someone with a key took it, likely to cancel the festival since the other ceremonial item remains safe. At the ocean shrine cave, the twins sense an unsettling presence and receive a vision of crying twin girls before the shrine door mysteriously opens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the plaza, Tsukasa finds a fragment of a shrine maiden&#039;s hairpin. The elder accuses one of the maidens of stealing the necklace. When confronted, the maiden flees to the hilltop shrine and smashes the necklace rather than return it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the group returns to the cave to see light-reflecting moss. The twins experience another vision of twin girls speaking of not wanting to be left to die. They resolve to investigate further the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The twins visit the village elder and offer to serve as substitute shrine maidens. He reluctantly agrees, and an older villager gives them ornate hair ornaments traditionally given to newborn girls. Nemu reveals the town once sacrificed children to appease a sea god, and those children became the gods honored in the ceremony.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the twins try to explain their visions, the others are skeptical. Before they can prove anything, the elder rushes them to begin the ceremony early. At the hilltop shrine, villagers restrain them and remove their Soul Gem rings. The Magius fight through but cannot reach the twins in time as the elder pushes them off a cliff into the ocean.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sinking and weakening, the twins receive a final vision from the sacrificed twin girls, who speak of wanting their suffering to be seen and their fates changed. The Amanes awaken on the beach to learn a Witch appeared when they fell. After its defeat, all villagers lost consciousness. The Pearl Comb was shattered, making the ceremony impossible to complete.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The exhausted twins relax on the beach, having not slept. Tsukasa wonders if the gifted hair clip saved them. Though saddened that no one will remember the sacrificed girls, the twins resolve to change the fates of all Magical Girls. The elder and shrine maiden apologize, and Touka promises to take them to another of her family&#039;s vacation homes as a reward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Alina Is Comin’ to Town====&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Alina fuses with the Rumor of the Fur God despite Mifuyu&#039;s warnings, becoming Holy Alina to drain life force for her art. She targets a mother and child, but the situation backfires when she inadvertently stops a kidnapping, earning police gratitude instead of harvesting any energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Alina Is Coming to Town ~White Christmas Rhapsody~|Alina Is Coming to Town ~White Christmas Rhapsody~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Alina decides to target Namiki Street, where hundreds will gather for Christmas lights, unaware this is where Tsukasa is working.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa&#039;s workshop runs long and she forgets her phone. Mifuyu finds it and heads to Namiki Street to deliver it. Tsukuyo waits for her sister and chats with a kind maid woman. Meanwhile, Alina detects a man with a bomb who plans to blow up a building. When she sees Mifuyu enter that same building, Alina rushes to save her. Finding the bomb with ten seconds left, Alina creates a labyrinth at the last moment, shielding them from the explosion.

The twins hurry to their banquet as snow begins to fall, fulfilling Tsukuyo&#039;s wish for a white Christmas.

** Mifuyu updates Alina on the twins&#039; miraculous reunion. Examining a black card, Alina notices a happy face stamp emanating magic. At Fenthope, she deduces another Rumor is interfering: the Rumor of the Happy Stamp, which appears at Christmastime and overrides the Fur God&#039;s power, causing joy instead. Alina decides to stop using the Fur God Rumor, as it only wastes her energy, and transforms back to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the twins sneak into a children&#039;s hospital to leave gifts. Tsukasa carefully avoids a bell trap, but Tsukuyo is caught by awakened children.

When nothing special occurs and Yachiyo realizes she forgot her wallet, Iroha finds a 500 yen coin in her pocket, which is just enough to buy beans for the red-bean soup they wanted. They return home to make and enjoy the soup together, and Yachiyo reflects that while big luck is rare, small bits of luck can be found each day and should be appreciated throughout the year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;luckyny&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia_Record_Story_Mitama_and_the_Delicious_New_Year%27s_Party#New_Year_Lucky_Dream_Login_Special|Lucky New Year Dreams / New Year Lucky Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Afterward, Emiri learns Hinano was attempting to create a height-increasing drug—the same goal that led to a near-fatal accident five years ago and her contract with Kyubey. Emiri makes Hinano promise to stop dangerous experiments, but Hinano immediately breaks this promise and sneaks back to continue her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Emiri rushes an unconscious Hinano to Mitama&#039;s place. Hinano had drunk her experimental drug and collapsed from violent stomach pains. After purification, Hinano explains her dream: as a child, she admired a long-legged older girl who hosted science events, and she wanted to become that kind of dashing figure. Emiri reveals her own wish was a spur-of-the-moment desire to be the cutest little devil possible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano&#039;s unresolved feelings cause her Soul Gem to corrupt, and she is suddenly pulled into a barrier.

Hinano hears Emiri&#039;s telepathic voice shouting that she does not want to part with her, giving her strength. She realizes that while she failed to become a mature figure, her approachable appearance helped her meet Emiri and make friends. The shadow asks if she will give up her research, and Hinano declares she will continue with a completely safe version. The barrier vanishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At Mitama&#039;s makeshift studio, she admits they are her only customers and shows off a new camera she bought because the advertisement claimed it would make anyone a pro photographer.

** Frustrated, Mitama declares she will quit being an adjuster to devote herself to photography, but the girls protest that everyone in Kamihama would be in trouble without her. They reassure her that they trust her, and Tsuruno adds that she would not have become the strongest without Mitama&#039;s help.

** The quiz begins with multiple choice questions, and wrong answers trigger a trap door beneath the contestant, though cushions soften the fall. The first question asks Mitama&#039;s actual age, and Tsuruno guesses incorrectly, landing her in the trap. The second question asks whether Mitama&#039;s cooking is delicious, and when Felicia and Manaka both guess wrong, Mitama confirms that the correct answer is that her food is indeed delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz continues through several rounds, eliminating more contestants along the way. When the ninth question asks about Mitama&#039;s favorite movie, Ria guesses incorrectly and is eliminated for insulting the film&#039;s actress. Sana is also eliminated when Mitama takes pity on her after she panics over Iroha&#039;s safety, and Mitama confirms that &amp;quot;Pacifistic Hayashi&amp;quot; was the correct answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama admits she has run out of questions but still has many competitors remaining, so she decides to draw lots to pick a winner instead. Momoko asks why Mitama held the event in the first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama remembers a time where she tried using her magic to defeat a familiar on her own, and that even if her services are no longer needed, she can still protect herself. She has obtained the magic to keep living that she never had before, and if she ever had to abandon her neutrality, she could use it to help someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Mitama explains that she held the event because something good happened to her. The other girls sense a Witch and leave to hunt it, and Mitama tells them to draw their lots later. Alone, she wonders who she should use her power on when she eventually decides to stop being neutral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====I&#039;m the Star of this Show!====&lt;br /&gt;
* One night, Ria Ami receives a call from her manager about a fashion show that wants her as the prestigious last guest. The theme is &amp;quot;dressing in stylish uniforms.&amp;quot; Ria eagerly accepts, imagining Mayu Kozue praising her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - I&#039;m the Star of this Show!|I&#039;m the Star of this Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Ria dreams. On the day of the fashion show, she runs into a Witch. Kyoko Sakura appears in the barrier. Mistaking Kyoko for a fan, Ria tries to show off, but Kyoko tells her to stay out of the way. They fight. Ria leaves the barrier and finds she has missed the show completely. Horrified, she wakes up. It was only a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, she and Asuka Tatsuki arrive to cheer. Asuka reveals she has been practicing for this day. During the event, Asuka cheers for Ria like it is a sports event. Ria knows she means no harm but feels embarrassed, as if Asuka is ruining the event. She wakes up again. Another dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, just as she is about to go on stage, the power cuts out. Though it quickly returns, the audience&#039;s enthusiasm has diminished. Ria blames herself for being unable to overcome the outage. She wakes up, realizing she has been dreaming about the show every single night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual day of the show, Ria pinches her cheek to make sure it is real. She stumbles into a Witch barrier, and Kyoko appears just as in her dreams. This time, Ria tells Kyoko she can take the credit for killing the Witch. Ria leaves and meets Asuka and Mayu. When she learns Asuka has practiced cheering, Ria explains that fashion shows have their own etiquette and promises to send her details later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just before Ria&#039;s turn on stage, the power cuts out for real. Ria decides to make it part of the show. She asks the audience to get out their penlights and turn them all on her when she gives the signal. Her improvisation is a complete success, though she wishes she could have shown her perfect walk. She thinks she is feeling the best feeling in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls are surprised to learn that Felicia scored fifty-two points on a test, and she asks for a reward. Yachiyo deems her request to go to MooMoo Park too expensive and instead promises a fancy dinner the next day, which satisfies Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story 300 Day Login Event: A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa|300 Day Login Event: A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha discovers that Tsuruno left her phone in the refrigerator and offers to return it while Yachiyo goes to a photo shoot. During breakfast, a commercial for MooMoo Park airs on television.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After breakfast, Felicia shows Sana the park commercial on her phone and admits she still wants to go, so she drags Sana along to catch animals at a riverbank. Meanwhile, Iroha returns Tsuruno&#039;s phone and helps out at her family&#039;s restaurant. At the riverbank, Felicia finds a small turtle, but Ayame Mikuri appears and accuses her of harassment. The two magical girls fight, and Felicia releases the turtle to protect it before running off, leaving Sana behind. Yachiyo finds Sana on her way home and learns what happened, then invites her to lunch. Felicia returns to the house, still angry at Ayame, and takes a nap after lunch. She dreams that the turtle thanks her and promises something at the riverbank, so she wakes and goes out to find it. She returns with a ticket for two to MooMoo Park. The others reveal that Iroha also received a ticket from Tsuruno&#039;s father, and Yachiyo got one at a meat store, so everyone can now go together. The girls happily resolve to visit the park and enjoy their dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of====&lt;br /&gt;
* An old lady asks Kanagi Izumi for a deli recommendation, and Kanagi suggests the potato soup and meat skewers, knowing the customer&#039;s daughter loves them. When the lady asks if this is truly Kanagi&#039;s last day, Kanagi confirms it and expresses regret at not seeing her again. At the end of her shift, Kanagi thanks her boss and coworkers, who are sad to see her go, but she needs higher pay to support her family and the grocery store cannot match her new job&#039;s wages.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Newbie Maid Carefree Kanagi|Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of / Newbie Maid Carefree Kanagi]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives home later than usual due to a going-away party, and her father apologizes for not working enough to provide, though Kanagi is happy to help. He worries about her new job being radically different from her previous work, but Kanagi believes it is worth it since the pay means she can quit her second job and have more free time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi starts her new job at a maid café and impresses her coworker by already having a parfait ready. Despite learning the kitchen pace quickly, the hall is understaffed, and when the manager offers to help, Kanagi replies &amp;quot;Yes, sir!&amp;quot; only to be corrected that the manager prefers to be called &amp;quot;madam.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the rush, the head maid wishes for another maid, and the manager asks Kanagi to try working the floor for a raise. Kanagi&#039;s eyes widen at the salary and she accepts, receiving the maid nickname &amp;quot;Maid Nagitan.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid reviews basics with Kanagi, who feels confident due to her customer service background and sees this as a life-or-death matter to earn more for her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika Kumi, Reira Ibuki, and Mito Aino enter, and Kanagi greets them with a serious look and curt &amp;quot;welcome,&amp;quot; leaving them surprised by her cold, soldier-like demeanor. When Mito asks if she is really a maid, Kanagi introduces herself as Maid Nagitan and shakes Mito&#039;s hand firmly, causing Seika to freeze up. Later, when Reira asks if she will do &amp;quot;the thing&amp;quot; of adding love to the food, Kanagi misinterprets and says she cannot profess love to strangers, leaving the girls let down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At another table, a customer also wants &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; but Kanagi declines, saying she is no liar. The head maid intervenes and reminds Kanagi this is a maid café, explaining their job is creating a fun atmosphere. Kanagi returns to the trio&#039;s table and notices Seika staring, misinterpreting it as a staring contest. They stare at each other until Seika faints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid calls Kanagi completely hopeless and explains a maid&#039;s worth comes from tending to others, telling her to return to the kitchen if she cannot take the work seriously. The manager offers a one-week trial period: if Kanagi improves by week&#039;s end, she stays a maid. Kanagi vows to work with every fiber of her being.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Karin Misono finishes reading &amp;quot;Detective Maid Mei&amp;quot; and notices Kanagi slumped on a swing, muttering about what makes a good maid. Karin recognizes her as the boss of the East and, seeing an opportunity for her manga, asks Kanagi to tell her everything. Karin lends her the Detective Maid Mei manga for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Kanagi reads the manga and notes how the maid greets masters warmly, respects their decisions, and lets the master grow when needed. At the end, the maid strikes a pose. Kanagi meets Karin at the park to return the manga and heads to work with Karin tagging along for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the café, two boys enter and Kanagi greets them warmly as masters, surprising them with her &amp;quot;cool but kind&amp;quot; demeanor. The head maid smiles at her improvement. Kanagi serves Karin a Lovely Rice Omelet, and when Karin suggests she draw on it with ketchup, Kanagi tries to draw a kirin but it looks like a weird animal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Two more customers arrive, Aimi Eri and Natsuki Utsuho. Kanagi serves them and offers to draw on their omelets, writing Aimi&#039;s crush&#039;s name with hearts on her plate. As she leaves, Karin motions for her, and Kanagi does the manga pose, telling them to let her take care of any problems. At day&#039;s end, the head maid notes Kanagi&#039;s huge improvement but says it is too early to celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The final test begins, and the manager outlines that Kanagi must please the next returning customer, ensuring the master leaves with a smile. The door jingles as Konomi Haruna enters, distressed to find herself in a maid café. Kanagi greets her warmly and shows her to a seat despite the manager&#039;s concern.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi orders the Maid&#039;s Special Herbal Blend after Kanagi&#039;s recommendation, but when Kanagi offers to play a game then arm wrestle, Konomi panics, drinks quickly, pays, and leaves. The manager agrees that Kanagi should return to the kitchen as promised. Kanagi walks home alone, bothered by something beyond the wage cut.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi is back in the kitchen, and the kitchen staff is delighted. At day&#039;s end, the head maid tells her the staff appreciated her return, and Kanagi wonders why no one said they were glad when she worked as a maid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager notices her expression and encourages her to think until she is satisfied with the answer. Kanagi decides to find Konomi and ask what she lacked, recalling her school uniform.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi enters Konomi&#039;s flower shop, and Konomi is shocked. Kanagi asks what she lacked as a maid, but Konomi apologizes for assuming Kanagi was scary due to East-West history. She explains she entered by mistake, but Kanagi was considerate, made a helpful suggestion, and offered to ease her anxiety. It felt like Kanagi was doing it just for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi realizes that is what she was lacking: taking into account what the other person wants and responding to it. At the park, Kanagi reflects that customers come to enjoy the atmosphere and it is her job to consider whether it is worthwhile for them. She berates herself for making masters uncomfortable. Karin finds her and insists she should keep being a maid, offering to talk to the manager. Kanagi smiles and asks for a different favor instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi approaches the manager for a second chance, proposing she serve the same three customers who left when Seika fainted. The manager agrees to let her try. Karin finds Reira and Seika at a park and extends an invitation for them to return so Nagitan can make it up to them. Reira agrees, and Karin hands them invitations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio enters the café with Seika frozen, and Kanagi greets them warmly and shows them to their table. Kanagi serves their omelets, and when Mito asks if they were made with love, Kanagi admits she could not be dishonest but offers to draw with ketchup instead. She gives Mito the bottle to draw while Kanagi draws on Mito&#039;s plate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They play rock-paper-scissors, and Reira explains Seika is very shy and fainted because she had to make eye contact with someone new. Seika&#039;s class is doing a maid café for the school festival and she wanted to do her best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika admits she thought Kanagi was so confident she lost her own confidence. Kanagi points to the head maid as the ideal and explains she herself could never be like that, so she tries her best in her own way, encouraging Seika to find her own style. Seika smiles and asks for a picture. Kanagi agrees if her face is hidden, and before they leave, she does her signature pose and tells Seika to remember it when nervous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager calls Kanagi over and offers her the maid position, noting she learned something important. Kanagi says she wants to keep being a maid, not just for the paycheck, but to use what she learned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day at the café, Kanagi serves drinks and poses for pictures with a face mask, her fans cheering. Karin calls for her to do &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; and the café erupts yelling &amp;quot;Nagitan!&amp;quot; Karin and Kanagi walk home, and when Kanagi asks about her manga, Karin realizes she never drew it. Kanagi offers to help, but when Karin asks if she will do the pose, Kanagi reminds her she is off the clock. Karin looks down sadly as Kanagi returns to being serious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia====&lt;br /&gt;
* During the day, Felicia eats Tsuruno&#039;s ice candy without realizing it was hers because she cannot read kanji. Tsuruno reprimands Yachiyo when she learns Yachiyo knew and was preparing to buy a replacement. Yachiyo states it is impossible to guard the fridge constantly. Felicia, overwhelmed with guilt and anger that no one listens to her confession, loses control and flips the kitchen table before locking herself in her room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Felicia has a nightmare. She dreams her falling grades caused a huge argument between her parents, who blamed each other for neglecting her. Both ignore her confession and promise to try harder. Her mother storms back to the kitchen to cook. Felicia recalls that a Witch attacked immediately after, killing her parents, and she wakes up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She goes to the kitchen for water, but Iroha is there and points out she looks pale. Iroha tells her to rest and offers to bring water to her room. Felicia loses her temper and storms out of the house. Iroha wakes the others to find her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Felicia hears a voice claiming to be her. The voice pulls her into a barrier, where another Felicia lures her toward a locked box, revealing itself as her Doppel. Felicia nearly opens the box but remembers Yachiyo&#039;s words about some things being best left unknown. Her instincts tell her she is not ready.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She promises her Doppel she will return when she is stronger and hopes it can hold the truth for her. The Doppel accepts and returns to normal. Felicia wakes up at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo inform her they found her unconscious in the park. Felicia tells them about the encounter and her desire to become strong enough to fulfill her promise. Mitama offers a free power-up session to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha recalls they found Felicia releasing her Doppel in the park before losing consciousness. Yachiyo notes this has never happened before. She remembers that Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane once said Doppels are materialized emotions. Yachiyo concludes Felicia carries a heavy burden and tells Iroha to keep this secret until Felicia either realizes it herself or becomes strong enough to handle the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Monogatari Series Collab====&lt;br /&gt;
* Shinobu Oshino, Yotsugi Ononoki, and Mayoi Hachikuji hunt a Witch together. Shinobu begins her dramatic introduction and finishing move, but Yotsugi defeats the Witch with a simple &amp;quot;Hyah&amp;quot; and Mayoi lands the final blow with &amp;quot;Yah.&amp;quot; Shinobu is annoyed at their failure to call out special moves. Shinobu argues that calling out attacks is the essence of being a Magical Girl, but Yotsugi dismisses this as an outdated trope. Shinobu retorts that refusing to act the part is dumb, and Yotsugi reluctantly agrees. Shinobu declares they need training to act more befitting of Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Shinobu&#039;s Heartphial Story: Shinobu Spells]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shinobu demonstrates by striking a pose and delivering her lines with perfect timing. When Yotsugi tries, her performance is terrible. Shinobu forces her to try again, and Yotsugi reluctantly says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; but finds it unpleasant and refuses to repeat it. Mayoi asks Shinobu to help her come up with lines. After a few stumbles, she declares, &amp;quot;I, Mayoi Hachikuji, hereby condemn those Witches who seek to ravage this earth!&amp;quot; Shinobu finds it charming, and Mayoi admits leaning into the Magical Girl thing is fun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They enter a real Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Mayoi messes up her line again but turns it into an improvised bit while evading attacks. Yotsugi delivers a longer speech and says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; landing the attack. Shinobu finishes the Witch with her full finishing move. After the battle, morning comes. Shinobu declares the training will continue, but Yotsugi walks away. Mayoi distracts Shinobu by suggesting breakfast, and Shinobu wants donuts. Yachiyo, out for an early walk, overhears them and decides she wants donuts too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa and helps Yachiyo prepare breakfast. Sana joins them, but when she goes to wake Felicia, she finds Felicia’s room empty and her shoes gone; Felicia’s phone is also out of service. Worried, Yachiyo calls Tsuruno for help, and the group splits up to search the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Monogatari Series Collab Part I: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the search, Iroha’s Soul Gem reacts to a nearby Witch. Inside the labyrinth, they encounter two unfamiliar magical girls who are already fighting the Witch: Mayoi Hachikuji and Shinobu Oshino. After the Witch is defeated, introductions are exchanged. Mayoi and Shinobu explain they are traveling and looking for a lost friend named Yotsugi Ononoki, who has bluish‑green pigtails, a peculiar hat with eyes, and a frilly dress. The two groups exchange phone numbers to help each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Felicia has in fact met Yotsugi. Yotsugi buys her ice cream, and Felicia learns Yotsugi is also traveling. Felicia offers to show Yotsugi around town as thanks, taking her to the shopping street, a spot with cats, and a bench good for naps. Yotsugi finds everything unfamiliar and feels something is off, as if she has buttoned her shirt wrong. She shortens Felicia’s name to “Felly,” which makes Felicia happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha’s group eventually spots Felicia with Yotsugi. When Yachiyo hugs Felicia in relief, Felicia reacts as if she does not know any of them. She remembers Yachiyo only as a famous magical girl, but has no memory of living at Mikazuki Villa. The group realizes Felicia has lost her memories. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive and reunite with Yotsugi. Felicia refuses to go with Iroha’s group, accusing them of being kidnappers. Yotsugi offers a third option: Felicia can join their traveling team. Mayoi warns Felicia that if she chooses to leave with them, she will never return to the home that might be waiting for her. Felicia becomes confused and cries. Iroha proposes they all have dinner together at Mikazuki Villa first, so Felicia can calm down and decide later and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, Felicia asks Yotsugi what she likes to eat. Yotsugi admits a preference for expensive cup ice cream. Felicia awkwardly asks if Yotsugi&#039;s face is always stuck like that, and Yotsugi confirms it is. After arriving, Felicia eagerly tries to get Yotsugi to play video games, serves her extra portions of food, and challenges her to a pillow fight. Yotsugi excuses herself to take a bath, leaving Felicia disappointed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yotsugi Ononoki#Side Story|Yotsugi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Yotsugi Sister]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Felicia apologizes for being clingy, explaining that Yachiyo and the others pulled her aside to warn her. Felicia confesses she had been trying to make Yotsugi smile, assuming she had lost her parents like Felicia did. Yotsugi clarifies that her emotions simply do not show on her face, but she does feel them. She admits playing the game was fun and the food was not bad. Felicia is overjoyed and runs off to brag to everyone. Shinobu and Mayoi, who had been eavesdropping, tease Yotsugi for finding Felicia cute. Yotsugi concedes that Felicia is exhausting, but seeing her face light up from a drop of attention is not unpleasant. She gains newfound respect for all older sisters in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the villa, Shinobu requests doughnuts for dessert, and the group plays games. Yotsugi helps in the kitchen and notices the chicken meat has a nice springy firmness. During dinner, the group shares memories of how they met Felicia. Felicia still does not remember, but Shinobu points out the stories are too detailed to be lies. Tsuruno suddenly does not remember buying coasters, revealing she may also have amnesia. Yotsugi then shifts the discussion: she reminds Shinobu that she walked in sunlight all day without harm, which should be impossible because Shinobu is actually a vampire. Shinobu’s memories return, and she declares herself the iron‑blooded, hot‑blooded, cold‑blooded vampire king of oddities. Mayoi also gets a headache and remembers she is not human either, and instead she is a snail oddity, a ghost. Yotsugi explains that she has felt uneasy calling herself a magical girl; she suspects this world is not the one she came from, as everything feels slightly different, like two paintings of the same image in different styles. She believes Shinobu, Mayoi, and herself came from another world. They conclude that a Witch may be behind the memory loss and false memories, and decide to hunt Witches the next day. Everyone stays the night at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mayoi plays Old Maid with Tsuruno, Felicia, Yotsugi, and Shinobu. Mayoi wins, but Yotsugi and Shinobu notice she seemed absent-minded. Mayoi asks Yachiyo if she can help with dinner, admitting she always wished she could cook with her mom. Yachiyo agrees and Mayoi joins Iroha and Sana in making dumplings, proving to be a natural. Yotsugi and Shinobu try but fail miserably. Mayoi boasts and declares herself the rightful leader of the little girls, sparking a three-way argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Mayoi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Mayoi Home]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno suggests playing a game to decide the leader, and Felicia wants to join. Shinobu insists Iroha must also participate. They play a life simulation board game. Mayoi starts strong but ends up broke and stranded in the Amazon. Iroha wins, and Mayoi declares her the official leader of the little girls, much to Iroha&#039;s confusion. Mayoi feels this has been the most fun she has had in a while, yet she cannot shake an uneasy feeling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After everyone decides to stay over, Yachiyo announces bath time. Mayoi suddenly bolts out of the house, claiming she will take a walk. Iroha chases after her and finds her safe. Mayoi apologizes and explains that the family moment overwhelmed her heart, so she left to do something familiar to settle herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi revisits her wish: after her parents&#039; divorce, she wished to go home. Being at Mikazuki Villa makes her feel like her wish has finally come true, yet she senses it is not the home she truly wants to return to. She remembers she is a ghost and wonders where exactly it is she wants to go back to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After they lay out futons in the living room, Shinobu reveals she is actually over 500 years old, and Mayoi was in fifth grade when she died, now mentally 21. Yotsugi still does not remember what she is. Felicia cannot sleep and goes outside. She sees a Witch appear suddenly, feels her head go foggy, and collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha again helps with breakfast. She feels a strange déjà vu, as if the same conversation has happened before. Sana again reports Felicia is missing. The group searches the town and again encounters Mayoi and Shinobu fighting a Witch. The same exchanges occur, but Iroha’s déjà vu grows stronger.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When they finally find Felicia, she is with Yotsugi and is annoyed that they took so long to show up. Yotsugi addresses Iroha by name without being introduced. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive. Iroha blurts out that everything feels like it has happened before. Yotsugi then explains: this is the second time they have met like this. Everyone suddenly remembers the previous day’s events of the dinner, the revelations about vampires and ghosts, and the time reset. Yotsugi says she felt the air warp after falling asleep, and when she woke up, she was back where she had been before meeting Felicia. Felicia recalls that before the reset, she saw a Witch outside Mikazuki Villa that made her dizzy and erased her memories. The group deduces that Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they discuss how to fight the Witch, Felicia’s stomach growls. They decide to return to the villa for dinner again, saving the battle for the next day. On the way, they stop at a supermarket for a snack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While walking home, a Witch suddenly appears and pulls Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi into a labyrinth. Felicia recognizes it as the same Witch from the reset. The Witch ignores both Iroha and Felicia, focusing all its attacks on Yotsugi. It dodges Felicia’s hammer and lands a clean hit, cutting Yotsugi’s body into pieces. Iroha and Felicia are horrified. As the Witch prepares to strike again, Yotsugi’s voice tells them to keep pretending to be sad. She instructs them to retreat and gather the pieces of her body. They do so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside the labyrinth, Yotsugi puts herself back together as if nothing happened. She reveals that when she took the hit, she regained her true memories. Back at Mikazuki Villa, she explains to everyone: she is a hundred‑year‑old tsukumogami made from a human body, both a doll oddity and a corpse oddity. She has no heart and has always been dead. This is why the Witch’s power of suggestion, which works by influencing emotions, does not affect her as much. She also notes that the Witch let them escape because it was angry at Yotsugi for helping everyone remember the first loop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yotsugi attacks Shinobu. Shinobu blocks the strike. When asked why, Yotsugi coldly says, “Would you mind dying for me real quick?”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt; Yotsugi’s sudden attack on Shinobu was not betrayal but a calculated shock: she remembered that when the Witch cut her into pieces, the trauma restored her own original memories. She reasons that a sufficiently strong physical blow can break through the memory manipulation. Shinobu’s severed leg instantly regenerates as her vampiric powers return, proving the method works. Without warning, Yotsugi then punches Mayoi, knocking her unconscious. When Mayoi wakes, her memories also return, which is triggered by the keyword “lost.” Mayoi explains that their false magical girl powers and wishes were implanted by the Witch, and that they are not inhabitants of this world. She then proposes a new theory: the Kamihama girls did not lose their memories; rather, they come from different points in their own timeline and simply haven’t experienced the shared past yet. Felicia is devastated, fearing she will never have a family again, but Iroha and the others reassure her that in every timeline they will end up together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Monogatari Series Collab Part II: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, after everyone has gone to sleep, Shinobu summons Yotsugi and Mayoi outside. She admits she does not fully trust Iroha’s group, as they could be the Witch’s minions or mere plot devices. She reveals there may be another way to return to their original world, but she does not elaborate immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group splits up to hunt the elusive Witch. They repeatedly enter labyrinths of other Witches, wasting time. Felicia grows increasingly frustrated, nearly charging into unrelated fights. Yachiyo observes that the Witch seems to want them to fight, so any peaceful, fun activity risks a reset, which is why the first reset happened after their happy dinner and games. She concludes that the Witch is like a director forcing them to act out a “magical girls fighting” plot. Iroha suggests they deliberately provoke the Witch by acting against that plot, hoping to lure it out. However, Yotsugi warns that straying too far might trigger another reset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo formally presents her three‑point theory: (1) The Witch did not pursue them when they fled, (2) it never removed their magical girl powers, and (3) the resets happen when they relax instead of fight. Everyone agrees the plan is to provoke the Witch into appearing. Shinobu then insists on going sightseeing the next day, arguing that one more reset will weaken the Witch’s power further. Despite concerns about resetting again, Tsuruno enthusiastically supports the idea, and the group reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group spends the morning and afternoon touring Kamihama: the radio tower, the school (which they sneak into), an arcade where Yotsugi plays rhythm games with a completely blank expression, and the shopping mall where Shinobu demands to find a donut shop. Tsuruno saves the family restaurant, Banbanzai, for last. As they approach, Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi sense the Witch charging straight at them. The familiar dizziness overcomes everyone, and the world resets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Several hours after the reset, Yotsugi again restores everyone’s memories, as her immunity to the Witch’s suggestion means she still remembers everything. The group notes that more people felt déjà vu this time, suggesting the Witch is weakening. That night, Shinobu privately tells Yotsugi and Mayoi her true alternative plan: she will kill the Kamihama magical girls and consume their power, believing that enough strength will allow her to tear open a gate back to their world. Yotsugi and Mayoi agree to help, though Mayoi is conflicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the town feels eerily deserted. The Witch’s labyrinth is sparse, with only familiars. Following Shinobu’s earlier secret instruction, the group begins shouting insults at the Witch to provoke it. Suddenly, Shinobu strikes Felicia from behind, seemingly killing her. Yachiyo and Tsuruno are horrified. Shinobu, Yotsugi, and Mayoi reveal their betrayal: they intend to slaughter everyone to gain power for a gate home. A brutal fight erupts. Mayoi uses her ability to redirect Yachiyo’s spear attack, causing it to hit Iroha and Sana, who also fall. Tsuruno is overwhelmed, and Yachiyo is mortally wounded. Shinobu stands alone, gloating, but then the “dead” girls suddenly rise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** It was all an act. The group had secretly planned this staged betrayal during the previous night, communicating via handwritten notes to avoid the Witch overhearing. Sana, who makes picture books, wrote the script. The plan had multiple layers: first, they deliberately triggered a second reset by going sightseeing to weaken the Witch; second, they staged a believable in‑fighting scenario to lure the Witch out, because if all the “actors” disappear, the Witch’s story cannot continue. The Witch falls for the trap and appears, enraged by the deception. A full‑scale battle begins. The group coordinates: Iroha and Sana herd familiars for Yotsugi’s “Unlimited Rulebook”; Yachiyo, Shinobu, and Iroha immobilize the Witch; Tsuruno guides Mayoi’s errant drill attack with her flames, piercing the Witch’s front camera. When that does not destroy the labyrinth, Yachiyo and Shinobu realize the front camera was a decoy: the true weak spot is the film at the back. Felicia, launched by Yotsugi like a bullet, smashes the drill deeper, and Yachiyo and Shinobu destroy the film. The labyrinth dissolves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the world fades to mist, Felicia breaks down crying. She does not want this world to end because at Mikazuki Villa she finally felt like she had a family again, and she fears returning to her own timeline where she will be alone. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Sana hug her, promising that no matter the world or timeline, they will surely live together again. Shinobu, Mayoi, and Yotsugi share an awkward, brief hug, concluding they are not the hugging type. Everyone exchanges farewells. Yotsugi tells Felicia, “I’m glad I met you, Felly.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa, yawning. Felicia teases her for sleeping late. Iroha recalls a long, strange dream, both fun and bittersweet, but the details fade upon waking. She only remembers that it was something really special. The day begins again, as if the adventure had never happened, except for the faint warmth left behind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede dreams of a garden where Momoko and Rena help her harvest fantastical vegetables. When she asks about the cream puff tree, Momoko shows her a basket full. The peace breaks when an apartment complex finishes construction behind them, destroying the garden. Kaede remembers this moment: her father announced a new building would block their sunlight, her mother worried they would lose their garden, and in despair, Kaede wished to stop the construction entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The dream shatters and a shadowy version of Kaede appears, accusing her of always running from difficulty. It reminds her she made her wish without considering the people who would have lived in that building, that she ran from Rena rather than face rejection, that she holds back in marathons and skips hard problems. The shadow urges her to keep running until she finds where she belongs and offers its hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kaede admits everything is true: she is weak and useless. But she insists she wants to stay with Momoko and Rena, the friends who matter to her. She asks her shadow to help her become better little by little. The shadow agrees, promising to watch from the garden of her heart. Kaede wakes at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains Kaede blacked out during a Witch battle. Kaede remembers hesitating to transform, a Familiar catching her off guard, and Rena crying out. When another Familiar attacked Rena, Kaede recalled a time Momoko was hurt because of her mistake. Believing herself useless, her Soul Gem turned pitch black. Now awake and purified, she chooses not to run. She asks to join Momoko and Rena, who went ahead to hunt the Witch. Mitama sends her off, confident she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holiday Nyaprise!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede asks Mikazuki Villa to watch a lost kitten while her family is away. After Felicia threatens to withhold bedtime hot cocoa, Yachiyo relents and Sana names the cat Gorojirou, or Sir Purrs-a-little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Holiday Nyaprise!|Holiday Nyaprise!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno visits daily to play, and when Gorojirou needs the restroom, Sana rushes it to the litter box just as Yachiyo calls them for lunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia chases the cat until Sana gives her a toy to lure it instead, and they eventually nap together on the couch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou has grown close to everyone, and Iroha tries taking its picture but accidentally films herself instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha shops, Sana watches the cat and Yachiyo admits she avoided getting attached because Gorojirou is temporary, but resolves to make its stay pleasant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou chews Felicia&#039;s favorite sticker, and though Felicia is angry, Sana reminds her the cat leaves tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede returns for Gorojirou, and everyone says a tearful goodbye. As they leave, the cat meows at Sana, who cries happily saying goodbye to her new best friend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Clash!====&lt;br /&gt;
* A Mirror copy of Shizuku opens a portal and steps through into a city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Magia Clash! ~Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Detonation~|Magia Clash! ~Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Detonation~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama organizes a magical girl team competition inside the Mirrors labyrinth. Kaede and Iroha greet Nanoha, hoping to talk with her, but Kaede is called away when her match begins. Iroha stays behind and watches with Nanoha instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanoha Takamachi#Side Story|Nanoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hayate, Nanoha, and Fate mistake a Mirror copy&#039;s portal for the warp gate to their tournament and are pulled through before Lindy can stop them. Mitama registers the confused but excited trio for the &amp;quot;First Ultimate Magical Girls Team Battle Mirrors Cup,&amp;quot; and they head to the Standby Zone after learning about the Mirror barrier. Meanwhile, Rena, Momoko, and Kaede struggle against unusually strong Familiars, and when Rena twists her ankle, the Nanoha trio steps in to save them. The groups introduce themselves, with the trio explaining they are from Uminary City while concealing their connection to the Administrative Bureau, and Rena warns them about dangerous Mirror copies that lurk deeper in the barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they observe Team Momoko&#039;s match, Nanoha comments on the fighting styles she sees and notes the variety of magic on display. She explains she was taught magic from an early age and is surprised to learn Iroha and the others gained their powers by making wishes to Kyubey. Iroha describes Kyubey as a white stuffed animal, which reminds Nanoha of her own first teacher, Yuuno. Nanoha shares that she discovered magic in third grade when she heard Yuuno calling for help, and since then she has honed her abilities alongside Fate and Hayate to protect others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks about Nanoha&#039;s device, Raising Heart, and how it can transform. Nanoha explains the device taught her magic step by step and once posed an important question to her: what is the most important thing in a fight? Iroha guesses it is the will to win, but before Nanoha can reveal the true answer, Fate and Hayate return from exploring. Fate requests a sparring match, and Iroha asks to watch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo joins Iroha to observe the fight between Nanoha and Fate. The two exchange blows at maximum speed, with Fate using close-range attacks while Nanoha fights from a distance. The match ends in a tie after a final, explosive clash. Before leaving for a break, Nanoha turns to Iroha and reveals the true answer to Raising Heart&#039;s question: wisdom and tactics. Iroha agrees, especially after witnessing their battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Natsuki is fretting over a lost wallet at the Promise Altar, and Ria offers to help her search since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway. Natsuki apologizes for the trouble, but Ria insists she doesn&#039;t mind and even offers to lend her money. Natsuki refuses the loan but admits she needs money for train fare home. She reluctantly agrees to borrow just enough for the trip and promises to pay Ria back later. Ria asks if Natsuki is sure she doesn&#039;t want to file a report, but Natsuki believes the wallet is simply lost rather than stolen and wants to keep searching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hayate Yagami#Side Story|Hayate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria suggests they retrace Natsuki&#039;s steps and asks where she&#039;s been. Natsuki lists the Promise Altar, the station, the shopping district, and an izakaya where she ate with friends. Ria questions why she went to an izakaya alone, and Natsuki clarifies she was with coworkers. Ria finds it odd that Natsuki was drinking with coworkers and then came to the shrine alone afterwards. Natsuki admits it&#039;s a long story involving a former coworker&#039;s engagement announcement that left her feeling restless. She came to the shrine to think but realized she didn&#039;t have enough money to get home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they search, they run into Masara and Kokoro. Masara bluntly tells Natsuki she probably won&#039;t find it and suggests getting a new student ID. Kokoro gently scolds her for being insensitive and offers to help search. Ria mentions they&#039;ve already looked around the shrine, so Kokoro suggests they expand the search area.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group heads to the shopping district, where they encounter Kanoko. She offers to help search as well, and they all continue looking together. Eventually, Ria asks Natsuki to retrace her exact steps from when she left the izakaya. Natsuki recalls walking to the station, realizing she didn&#039;t want to go home yet, and coming to the shrine. Ria points out that she would have needed her wallet to pay the izakaya bill, so she definitely had it after leaving. Natsuki confirms this and remembers using her train pass at the station before changing her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria concludes the wallet must be somewhere between the station turnstiles and the shrine, but they&#039;ve already searched that route thoroughly. Kanoko suggests Natsuki might have dropped it somewhere else without realizing, like when she pulled out her phone. Natsuki&#039;s eyes light up, and she admits she did take out her phone at the station to check something. She just can&#039;t remember what she did with her wallet after that. Ria proposes they split up to cover more ground, and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Natsuki returns home defeated and exhausted. Her father calls out to her, and when she enters the living room, she finds her wallet sitting on the table. Her mother found it in the shopping district and a kind stranger turned it in. Natsuki&#039;s relief quickly turns to panic when she remembers she borrowed money from Ria, and now she has no way to contact her. She considers calling Kokoro but realizes she doesn&#039;t have her number either. She decides to go back to the Promise Altar the next day to hopefully find Ria there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Natsuki returns to the Promise Altar and is relieved to spot Ria. She excitedly explains that her wallet was found and immediately tries to repay the loan. Ria accepts the money but notices Natsuki seems troubled about something else. Natsuki admits she&#039;s been thinking about her former coworker&#039;s engagement and how she handled the situation. Ria offers to listen if Natsuki wants to talk, but Natsuki says she&#039;d rather not burden her further. Ria insists it&#039;s no trouble since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki explains that her former coworker Yukari got engaged and announced it at a gathering. Natsuki congratulated her happily, but another coworker named Ootori made some passive-aggressive comments about how Yukari managed to find someone before her. Later, Ootori apologized to Natsuki for her behavior, but Natsuki feels she should have defended Yukari in the moment. She feels guilty for not speaking up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria asks why she feels responsible for defending Yukari. Natsuki admits it&#039;s because Yukari was always kind to her when she first started the job, and she feels she failed to repay that kindness. Ria points out that Natsuki did congratulate Yukari sincerely, and that was probably what mattered most to her in that moment. Natsuki realizes Ria is right and thanks her for the perspective.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just then, Kanagi arrives, and Ria prepares to leave. Before going, she offers Natsuki her contact information so she can reach out if she ever needs to talk again. Natsuki gratefully accepts, and the two part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During a break in the Mirrors tournament, Fate, Nanoha, and Hayate encounter a copy of Fate that proves too powerful for them to handle alone. Felicia, Kako, and Ayame appear to help, and together they defeat the copy. When Felicia asks what they&#039;re doing there, Fate admits they got lost. The Kamihama girls learn the trio is from out of town and younger than them, but they quickly become friends and head back to the standby zone together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Fate T. Harlaown#Side Story|Fate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group somehow gets roped into a dodgeball game, with teams forming spontaneously among the tournament participants. Fate proves to be exceptionally athletic, leading her team through multiple rounds against increasingly competitive opponents. After defeating Momoko&#039;s team, they face a martial arts team featuring Akira, Meiyui, and Asuka, which Fate also wins. Tsuruno, refusing to let age be a barrier, recruits Masara and Natsuki for a final match against Fate&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match comes down to a intense showdown between Fate and Tsuruno, both catching and returning each other&#039;s throws with increasing speed and power. Fate ultimately outmaneuvers Tsuruno by throwing to Nanoha and leaping into the air for the winning strike. Everyone celebrates the friendly tournament and the new friendships formed across different cities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the tournament progresses, Team Nanoha easily advances through early rounds with Fate&#039;s incredible speed, though Momoko notices Hayate and Nanoha have yet to reveal their full power. Elsewhere, Mitama learns that Momoko announced her team would break up if they lost not because Kaede is useless but to show their conviction, though both Kaede and Rena had doubts. The tournament continues until four teams remain, with Team Momoko advancing to the finals through clever strategy and Team Nanoha defeating Team Masara to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match begins with Fate and Rena clashing in a battle of speed that seemingly knocks both out, leaving Nanoha and Hayate to face Momoko and Kaede. Hayate fuses with Reinforce Zwei and unleashes Ragnarok to take out Kaede, then joins Nanoha against Momoko, who withstands Nanoha&#039;s Starlight Breaker as both girls stand exhausted. Before a winner can be decided, Lindy contacts Nanoha with an emergency: a fugitive illegally opened a rift between worlds, and the Mirror copy of Shizuku appears nearby, having used her powers to connect the Mirror labyrinth to Uminary City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The copy stole the tournament&#039;s grand prize, a special orb that exponentially increases magical power, and the girls call off the match to track her down. Team Nanoha and Team Momoko catch the copy, but after they defeat her, copies of Hayate, Fate, and Nanoha appear and swallow the broken orb pieces, gaining immense power. All the Magical Girls unite to take down the powered-up copies, and through combined efforts they finally delete the magical signatures. With the tunnel between worlds about to collapse, Mitama declares both teams winners, and the girls exchange heartfelt goodbyes before the Nanoha trio returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day in Kamihama, Kaede realizes her texts to Hayate no longer go through, Momoko cannot reach Nanoha or Fate, and Rena cannot find Uminary City on any map. Mitama and Shizuku conclude the girls must have come from a different world entirely, since they needed a space tunnel to travel rather than a simple train ride. Though Kaede is sad they may never meet again, Rena is grateful for the friendship they formed, and the three resolve to work hard for a future rematch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Asuka finds herself in a cloud-filled void facing a shadowy version of herself who claims to be the hidden part of Asuka&#039;s heart. The shadow declares Asuka is no longer fit to practice Ryushin-ryu because her blade has been sullied by contracting as a Magical Girl. When Asuka protests, the shadow recounts how Asuka wished for her cousin to become a police officer after his dreams were jeopardized by their uncle&#039;s arrest, arguing that twisting fate with magic was selfish and wrong. The shadow insists that with her heart no longer true, Asuka walks a false path and should abandon her school, urging her to die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her despair, Asuka remembers her father&#039;s words about asking her own heart what is right, like water filling a square bowl. She tells the shadow that perceptions of right and wrong can change with the situation, and though she cannot refute the shadow&#039;s claims, she knows her heart believed her actions were just. Believing words alone cannot reach the shadow, Asuka challenges her to a fight to prove her blade&#039;s strength reflects her sincere heart. The shadow warns that slaying her means slaying herself, but Asuka declares she fears being untrue to herself more than death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their swords clash, and after a long battle, the shadow succumbs to Asuka&#039;s attack and acknowledges her blade was as pure as her heart. The shadow warns she may return in a different form if Asuka&#039;s heart becomes stained again, then vanishes. Asuka awakens near a pond deep in the forest, where she had gone to meditate as part of her training. She remembers the shadow&#039;s promise and considers asking Mitama what it all meant, but feels her father&#039;s words have been engraved in her more deeply now. With her resolve unwavering, she runs back to the dojo, taking a straight path out of the woods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka awakens to find herself in a strange, cloud-filled void. A shadowy copy of herself appears, introducing itself as the part of her she has suppressed deep within her heart. The shadow urges Nanaka to end her pursuit of vengeance, calling it a fruitless endeavor that changes nothing. Nanaka refuses, explaining that the act of revenge itself holds meaning for her, not the result. The shadow questions where vengeance has led her: a life of constant danger in an endless struggle against Witches. Nanaka admits there is nothing to gain from her actions, but her conviction remains unshakable. The shadow then accuses Nanaka of dragging Akira, Kako, and Meiyui into her vengeance, using them to fulfill her goals. Nanaka acknowledges this truth but insists she would never throw their lives away. She believes fate brought them together to fight a common enemy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka recalls the moments before she lost consciousness. Her team had cornered a Witch, but it disappeared and reappeared near a weakened Kako. Nanaka leaped in to shield her, and Akira and Meiyui joined the fight. The shadow suggests Nanaka protected Kako to redeem herself, but Nanaka denies this. The shadow warns it will continue watching from the depths of her heart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka awakens to find her teammates standing over her, relieved she is alive. The Witch is defeated. Nanaka tells Kako not to worry about anything, as they are teammates. Meiyui finds her choice of words unusual, but Akira insists Nanaka see Mitama for a checkup. Kako thanks Nanaka for protecting her. Nanaka smiles, thinking to herself that each of them is their own flower, supporting one another through their shared fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Curry House CoCo ICHIBANYA Collaboration====&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha announces that a cafe Yachiyo frequents has opened a new location near Mikazuki Villa, and the group decides to visit on opening day. They arrive to find it is actually a Curry House CoCo Ichibanya, and Yachiyo passionately explains the menu options as they wait for the store to open.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Curry House CoCo ICHIBANYA Collaboration|Curry House CoCo ICHIBANYA Collaboration / Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the store opens early, the employee announces they cannot open today due to a missing delivery truck carrying ingredients. The employee breaks down in tears, explaining her family came to see her first store opening. The group notices magical energy emanating from the store and decides to help find the truck, promising to return for curry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They investigate at the last store the truck visited. The employee there confirms the truck is missing but provides spare ingredients and explains that stores support each other in times of trouble. The group splits into two teams: one to gather ingredients from other stores, and one to trace the truck&#039;s route. During coordination, they learn a second CoCoIchi truck has also gone missing on the same road.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While gathering ingredients, Tsuruno&#039;s group encounters a lost, hungry girl who flees upon hearing CoCoIchi and nearly crashes into Sana. Afterward, Sana realizes the employee at the new store could see her despite her invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s group follows the road where both trucks disappeared and finds a Witch&#039;s barrier. Inside, they find both trucks and their drivers. Iroha and Ui engage the Witch&#039;s familiars while Yachiyo secures the drivers. Iroha realizes the Witch is targeting the cargo, so she throws curry ingredients at it, causing the Witch to abandon the fight and allowing them to defeat it easily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno calls with urgent news that the store employee is a Magical Girl, her missing little sister is also a Magical Girl, and she has not been able to contact her since yesterday. The group fears the curry-loving Witch they just defeated was the sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the new store, where the employee is preparing their reward curry. Before Iroha can confess, a girl rushes in calling for her sister. It is the employee&#039;s little sister, alive and well. The group realizes the Witch was simply a curry-loving Witch unrelated to the sister. They finally sit down to enjoy the promised curry together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui====&lt;br /&gt;
* Meiyui&#039;s family is helping organize a local event when a stranger stabs one of their members and flees, dropping a badge. Meiyui chooses to tend to the victim rather than give chase, despite his protests that she is being too soft.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many in the organization want revenge, but Meiyui refuses, not wanting to return to their old ways as an evil organization. The members are reluctant to involve the police due to being falsely accused of murder three years prior. Meiyui had contracted with Kyubey back then to expose the truth with her wish, but lingering distrust remains.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui goes alone to track the culprit. The dropped badge leads her to an abandoned company tied to illegal labor her family had helped shut down. After defeating a stray Witch, she is ambushed and kidnapped by a man with a taser.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She wakes handcuffed alongside about ten others. The kidnappers reveal the badge was a trap to lure her. They include a former police officer who had fabricated evidence against her family and associates of the real murderer from that case, all blaming the Blue Seas for ruining their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her Soul Gem is heavily tainted from the Witch fight, and she begins hearing her Doppel&#039;s voice. In a cloudy void, her shadow self insists she should have killed these enemies when she had the chance, arguing her organization cannot survive without dirtying their hands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Meiyui struggles to stay conscious, she uses her last energy to beg the culprits to leave her family alone, insisting they are not a bad group. The stabber dismisses her pleas and suggests killing her as a warning instead. Her Doppel mocks her, saying evil people will always exist no matter how sincerely she tries to live righteously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, her organization members arrive to rescue her. The stabbed victim is among them, now grateful Meiyui had stayed to help him instead of chasing revenge. He admits he used to believe abandoning burdens was the way of the world, but facing death alone showed him he was wrong. He is alive because of Meiyui&#039;s strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hearing this, Meiyui&#039;s mind clears. In the void, her Doppel asks if she is ready to kill them, but Meiyui rejects violence entirely. The Doppel submits, allowing her to put everyone in the area to sleep without bloodshed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The police soon arrive after the kidnapper, persuaded by Meiyui, confesses over the phone. They find several family members asleep everywhere and note a look of complete relief on Meiyui&#039;s sleeping face.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Little Bird&#039;s Star====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe and other Black Feathers are in Fendt Hope, commiserating about their weakness. A White Feather had to bail them out after they were followed by a Witch while delivering a parcel from Mitama&#039;s shop. They discuss Yachiyo Nanami, a veteran Magical Girl who destroys Uwasas.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu and Nemu emerge from a room arguing. Nemu dismisses Mifuyu and approaches the Black Feathers with a request. She asks them to investigate the &amp;quot;Uwasa of the Jealous Coward,&amp;quot; also called the &amp;quot;Green-Eyed Coward.&amp;quot; Kuroe hesitates but agrees when Nemu insists she has the aptitude.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group investigates an area with many students but cannot find the Uwasa. The other Black Feathers leave for personal commitments. Kuroe stays, feeling she has nothing to return to. The Uwasa manifests when Kuroe expresses envy toward the other girls&#039; normal lives. Two Black Feathers are knocked unconscious. Nemu is satisfied with the results and tasks Kuroe with investigating more Uwasas starting tomorrow. Kuroe protests but Nemu leaves before she can refuse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Memoria 1743.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The Amane twins, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo, meet Kuroe at Fendt Hope and they begin investigating Uwasas in Sakae Ward but find nothing. They move to Hokuyo Ward. Kuroe notices a missing cat poster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They sense Yachiyo&#039;s group nearby and flee. Yachiyo and Iroha corner Kuroe. The twins escape. Yachiyo interrogates Kuroe. An Uwasa resembling Kuroe appears and attacks, then disappears. Yachiyo accuses Kuroe of controlling it. Kuroe insists she had no knowledge of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo decides to take Kuroe camping to monitor her. At the campground, the Amane twins briefly contact Kuroe and say they will consult Nemu, so Kuroe resolves to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe helps Iroha gather firewood. Iroha is scared by a caterpillar and Kuroe removes it. Kuroe introduces herself by name. She helps the group set up their tent and prepare lunch, using skills learned from Wings of Magius training. She reminds herself not to get drawn into their warm atmosphere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mentions a waterfall power spot. Kuroe offers to get water. Iroha accompanies her. They get lost. A woman helps Kuroe find the waterfall and gives her an empty bottle. The woman explains the place is her personal power spot for resetting her mind. Kuroe wishes she had strength to face the future. The Uwasa appears and attacks the woman. Iroha arrives and finds the woman unconscious. Kuroe begs Iroha for help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe carries the unconscious woman back to the campsite. The Amane twins inform her that Nemu says she is possessed by the Uwasa and should stay with Yachiyo&#039;s group. Yachiyo warns that if more casualties occur, she will destroy the Uwasa. Iroha suggests keeping Kuroe for observation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group participates in a stamp rally and Iroha and Kuroe pair up. They discover they are both from Takarazaki. Iroha explains she moved to Kamihama to find her missing sister. Suddenly, a Witch appears and Kuroe and Iroha fight it together. Kuroe acts as a decoy while Iroha defeats the Witch. Kuroe feels inadequate compared to Iroha&#039;s courage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe asks for time alone and she reflects on her fears and envy. The Uwasa appears again, resembling Kuroe. The group fights it and Iroha urges Kuroe to destroy the Uwasa. Kuroe admits she is afraid she cannot be herself, so she and Iroha destroy the Uwasa together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amane twins inform Kuroe they must report the Uwasa&#039;s destruction, yet Kuroe does not regret it. Iroha asks to talk with Kuroe and Yachiyo offers them tea. Kuroe admits she feels safe with the Wings of Magius because they represent hope for her. Iroha accepts this and Kuroe tells Iroha she wants to be like her someday. They part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe finds the missing cat and returns it to its owner, who is overjoyed. Kuroe realizes she saved someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe reports to Nemu and Mifuyu. Nemu reveals the Uwasa summons itself based on dissatisfaction and envy. Nemu admits she expected Yachiyo&#039;s group to handle an accident with the Uwasa. However, Nemu is satisfied that she now has more research on fusing Uwasa with Magical Girls, however Mifuyu warns Nemu not to experiment on the Feathers. Kuroe realizes that even the Magius are imperfect and she reflects on her long day. She resolves to do her best, one step at a time, and hopes to see Iroha again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 7th==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia and Sana decide to buy matching coasters as a gift for Yachiyo, to show their appreciation, and after some searching, they find a suitable set.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 6: The Memories that Speak of the Truth|Chapter 6: The Memories that Speak of the Truth]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 8th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the plan to present the gift is interrupted when Mifuyu Azusa arrives at the villa before Yachiyo returns home. The girls&#039; plan was for Iroha to wait inside while the others came from outside to surprise Yachiyo. Mifuyu prepares tea and reveals one of the two mugs on the top shelf, which Yachiyo forbade Iroha from using, belongs to her. Mifuyu invites Iroha to a lecture hosted by the Wings of the Magius to explain their goal of &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls. The lecture is scheduled for two days later at the Memory Museum and Iroha agrees to investigate the Rumor about the museum first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo returns home and is visibly distressed to find Mifuyu there. Mifuyu leaves, asking Iroha to inform the others about the lecture. Before finally leaving, Mifuyu returns to speak to Yachiyo privately. She references a &amp;quot;promise&amp;quot; they made a year ago, and accuses Yachiyo of returning to her old ways. Yachiyo insists her relationship with Iroha and the others is &amp;quot;just cooperating.&amp;quot; Yachiyo retreats to her room without receiving the coasters. That night, Yachiyo reflects on her past, resolving to return to the person she once was.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 9th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the lecture, Iroha is unable to give Yachiyo the coasters due to Yachiyo&#039;s low spirits. Iroha discusses her plan to attend the Wings of the Magius lecture with Madoka Kaname via text. Iroha then attempts to investigate the Rumor of the Memory Museum. Yachiyo claims no knowledge of it and leaves for school. Iroha and Momoko ask Mitama, who refuses to share information to maintain her neutrality. After the visit, Mitama has a separate conversation with Momoko about Momoko&#039;s own secret, advising her to tell her friends the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede and Rena help Iroha by summoning the creature that recites the Rumor of the Memory Museum, which allows people to view researched memories. Tsuruno&#039;s father provides the location of the similar-sounding &amp;quot;Kamihama Memorial Museum.&amp;quot; That evening, Yachiyo refuses to join the investigation, reiterating that her relationship with the others is strictly professional, which saddens Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Saturday, the 10th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the lecture, Yachiyo again refuses to go to the museum and Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana go to the Kamihama Memorial Museum without her. There, they are greeted by Touka Satomi, who reveals herself as one of the three Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently at Mikazuki, Yachiyo, haunted by memories of past friends, decides she must investigate the Memory Museum herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Touka throne 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka Satomi gives them a lecture titled &amp;quot;The Truth Behind Magical Girls.&amp;quot; She presents three key items through illustrative stories:&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 1: Soul Gems. A story reveals that a Soul Gem is a Magical Girl&#039;s actual soul. Using magic consumes this life force, and if the gem shatters, the Magical Girl dies. Touka uses an analogy of an internal vs. external battery to explain Soul Gems and Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 2: Witches. A second story demonstrates that when a Magical Girl&#039;s Soul Gem becomes fully corrupted, she transforms into a Witch. This revelation traumatizes Felicia, who realizes the Witches she has been killing were once Magical Girls and that she herself is destined to become one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 3: Doppels. A third story explains that in Kamihama City, a fully corrupted Soul Gem can manifest a &amp;quot;Doppel&amp;quot; instead of a Witch. The Wings of the Magius present this as the key to &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls from their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* To prove their claims, Touka and Mifuyu Azusa activate the Memory Museum&#039;s Rumor. Mifuyu presents a book containing her own memories, inviting the group to witness the truth of the lecture firsthand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo arrives at the museum and confronts Touka. She is shown into the memory dimension where Iroha and the others are and Mifuyu activates the Rumor, forcing the group to relive her memories. The memories depict Yachiyo&#039;s former team, Mikazuki Villa:&lt;br /&gt;
** The first memory shows Kanae Yukino sacrificing herself to reveal a Witch&#039;s weakness. Her uninjured body is found next to her shattered Soul Gem, proving the Soul Gem is the Magical Girl&#039;s life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second memory shows Mel Anna using too much magic to protect Yachiyo. With no Grief Seed to purify her fully corrupted Soul Gem, Mel transforms into a Witch before the team&#039;s eyes, confirming Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The third memory shows Mifuyu&#039;s despair six months after Mel&#039;s death, causing her Soul Gem to corrupt fully. Instead of becoming a Witch, she manifests a Doppel. Touka then appears and recruits her into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno is consumed by guilt over Mel&#039;s death, believing her absence that day was the cause. Felicia is horrified, realizing the Witches she killed were Magical Girls and Sana is terrified but feels powerless to change the system. Touka and Mifuyu use this emotional vulnerability to press their recruitment offers to each girl, promising a world where these tragedies are impossible and even suggesting Sana could be freed from her wish of invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo reject the offer to join and Yachiyo compares the Magius&#039; methods to Kyubey&#039;s, accusing them of exploiting weaknesses. Yachiyo then announces she is disbanding their team, which Iroha protests, but Yachiyo insists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka reveals that Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana have been brainwashed and now serve the Wings of the Magius. Alina Gray arrives and traps Iroha and Yachiyo within her Labyrinth and leaves them to face a Witch. As they fight the Witch, Yachiyo reiterates her decision to disband the team and work alone. She reveals her wish was &amp;quot;I want to survive,&amp;quot; and explains that she interprets this as a curse: the power to survive by sacrificing her teammates, based on the last words of her former comrades, Kanae and Mel, who both died while she lived. Yachiyo believes that to protect Iroha, she must sever their partnership.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha rejects Yachiyo&#039;s conclusion. She declares she will defeat the Uwasa alone to prove Yachiyo&#039;s &amp;quot;curse&amp;quot; is not real and that she can protect Yachiyo. Iroha states she is angry that Yachiyo made this decision for everyone and vows to rescue their brainwashed friends. She defeats the Witch and rejects Yachiyo&#039;s belief in a cursed wish and declares herself the new leader to nullify its perceived effect. Yachiyo relents and agrees to work with Iroha to save their friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the same time, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, having detected Mami&#039;s magic while investigating Kamihama, investigate the closed Kamihama Recording Museum. They are attacked by the Wings of the Magius. While Madoka and Homura hold them off, Sayaka proceeds and witnesses Mami, transformed into &amp;quot;Holy Mami,&amp;quot; attacking Iroha and Yachiyo. It is here that Sayaka learns the horrific truth that Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 6: Confrontation with Fate|Another Story Chapter 6: Confrontation with Fate]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, now a brainwashed member of the Wings of the Magius, confronts them. As Iroha and Yachiyo are too injured to fight, Sayaka Miki arrives and intervenes. Sayaka uses a bomb from Homura to create a diversion, allowing the three to escape.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After their escape, Sayaka gives Iroha a Grief Seed. Iroha explains the truth about Witches and the Wings of the Magius to Sayaka, who is horrified. Sayaka leaves to process this information and Iroha and Yachiyo walk home in silence to reflect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After fleeing the museum, Sayaka reunites with Madoka and Homura, defeats their pursuers in a distraught state, and explains what happened to Mami to them, as well as the truth about becoming Witches.The group returns to Mitakihara in silence but Madoka resolves to find a way to avoid their fate and to save Mami. Sayaka agrees to fight back as well and later decides to meet with Kyoko Sakura.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, at Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo reaffirm their commitment to save their friends and Momoko arrives, having told the secret of Magical Girls to Rena and Kaede. Yachiyo also apologizes for her actions and explains her fears about her wish. Momoko forgives her and reaffirms their friendship. Iroha then receives a text from Madoka, who promises to come to Kamihama to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Sayaka meets Kyoko and reveals the truth about Witches. Kyoko deduces this is what the Wings of the Magius meant by &amp;quot;saving&amp;quot; Magical Girls. Kyoko declares she will find a way to avoid becoming a Witch and confront the Wings of the Magius alone, rejecting Sayaka&#039;s offer of help. Despite Sayaka&#039;s protests, Kyoko leaves to operate solo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo has a box containing belongings left behind by her friends Kanae and Mel. She has never opened it. She spends the day staring at it but cannot bring herself to open it. Iroha arrives and asks about the box. Yachiyo explains its contents and admits her hesitation. They remember they need to visit Mitama, so Yachiyo decides to deal with the box later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitairoyachi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s place, the girls offer payment for adjustments. Mitama worries about Yachiyo&#039;s emotional state and suggests she clear up her issues with the box before proceeding. Yachiyo tells her to mind her own business. Mitama offers to adjust both girls together, which is unusual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the adjustment, Yachiyo is confronted by a shadowy doppelganger that represents her fear. The shadow forces her to confront her guilt over Kanae and Mel&#039;s deaths and her fear of the future. Yachiyo admits she is afraid but refuses to give in to despair. She resolves to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The shadow disappears. Iroha appears and stays with Yachiyo. Kanae and Mel appear and bid Yachiyo goodbye, encouraging her to head toward the future. Yachiyo awakens and Mitama reveals she adjusted them together out of concern, for which Yachiyo thanks her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Mikazuki, Yachiyo finally opens the box. Kanae left a book of lyrics. Mel left a fortune telling prophecy about a circle of Magical Girls gathering in Kamihama and a star falling near Yachiyo. Upon reading this, Yachiyo cries. Iroha suggests they head into the future together. Yachiyo agrees, stating they first need to get back Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha resolves to find her lost friends and mentally tells Ui to wait a bit longer. Iroha and Yachiyo finish cleaning their house. Iroha resolves to give the coasters she and the others bought for Yachiyo when everyone is reunited. Iroha says she sent a message to Madoka in Mitakihara City, but hasn&#039;t gotten a response.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 7: The Eve of Awakening to Paradise|Chapter 7: Awakening to Paradise]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Immediately after Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana are taken, Mifuyu reports to Touka and Alina that the brainwashing on the three is holding, so Touka selects Tsuruno for a mission, which Alina states will involve &amp;quot;mass murder.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in her room, Iroha thinks back to when she celebrated Christmas with her friends, but resolves to keep going with her mission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sunday, the 11th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo investigate the Kamihama Rumor Files at Mikazuki Villa. Iroha recognizes some of the Rumors. They meet with Momoko, who mentions Tsuruno&#039;s perfect school attendance record is now broken and that a new amusement park is also opening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo visit Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant and her father reveals Tsuruno and Felicia visited once. Tsuruno told him she found a place where she feels safe and would not return and he notes her expression was blank, similar to how she looked a year ago after Mel&#039;s death. Afterwards, a White Feather ambushes Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will be used for a mission like Tsuruno, and the two fight off the attacker.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Likely on this day, Yachiyo pulls out a box containing what her former friends Kanae Yukino and Mel Anna left behind. She has never opened it since filling it and spends the entire day staring at it, unable to lift the lid. When Iroha arrives and asks about it, Yachiyo explains and admits she is trying to work through her feelings. Iroha offers to help, but Yachiyo deflects, reminding her they were supposed to visit Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls visit Mitama Yakumo and present Grief Seeds as payment for adjustment. Mitama is surprised by the offering and promises to do her best, but she expresses concern about Yachiyo&#039;s emotional state. She suggests Yachiyo clear up her issues with the box before moving forward and offers to adjust both girls at once as a special exception.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Mitama works on her, Yachiyo finds herself in a gray room confronted by a shadowy doppelganger. The shadow accuses her of being afraid of the future and clinging to the past. When Yachiyo refuses to give in to despair, the shadow transforms into her doppel, but she stands firm, accepting her fear while choosing to move forward. Iroha appears beside her, and together they bid farewell to visions of Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo awakens and realizes Mitama adjusted them together intentionally, trusting Iroha could help her if needed. She thanks Mitama for looking out for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at her house, Yachiyo finally opens the box with Iroha beside her. Inside, Kanae left a book of lyrics about becoming a circle with others, and Mel left fortune telling impressions predicting a future where many magical girls would gather in Kamihama. Yachiyo cries as she reads their words. Iroha suggests they head toward that gentle future together. Yachiyo agrees but says first they need to get back their own three points: Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Monday, the 12th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo devise a plan to destroy Rumors across Kamihama to lure out the Wings of the Magius and locate their base. They share this plan with Momoko, who offers to help by getting Grief Seeds for them while they hunt. Momoko then goes to check on Kaede, who is hiding in her room. She hugs Kaede and tells her she and Rena will always be there to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo systematically hunt Rumors like the &amp;quot;Historical Battle Marker,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Castle Town Illusion,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Headless Biker Gang,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Puzzle Tiles Lock,&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;Fashion Monster.&amp;quot; They also interrogate captured Feathers, but none reveal information about Tsuruno, Felicia, or Sana&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Momoko investigates a rapidly spreading rumor about a new amusement park. She notes it originated in the east and spread west through Sakae, Mizuna, and Shinsei Wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha and Yachiyo analyze the Kamihama Rumor Files, marking all known Rumor locations on a map. They identify a pattern: Rumors cluster more densely in Shinsei Ward, with a notable concentration around Satomi Medical Center, the hospital where Ui was supposedly treated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They travel to the hospital area and are ambushed by Feathers. Felicia and Sana, who had broken free of the brainwashing, arrive and help fight off the attackers. The four Magical Girls reunite and Felicia and Sana reveal they pretended to be brainwashed to gather information. Momoko confirms the amusement park rumor spread from east to west and will open at dawn in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Sana explain to Yachiyo and Iroha that Mifuyu used her illusion magic to break their brainwashing. Mifuyu revealed the Magius are protecting and strengthening Witches for their liberation plan and are planning to use the brainwashed Magical Girls to cross a dangerous line. Mifuyu attempted to free Tsuruno but failed, as Tsuruno&#039;s reason for being brainwashed was different. Mifuyu then helped Felicia and Sana escape but chose to remain behind, stating they would be enemies next time they meet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko arrives and shares her investigation into a new Rumor about an amusement park opening at dawn in two days. She confirms it spread from the east, and the group overlays the Rumor locations on a map and identifies a pattern suggesting a source or &amp;quot;eye of the storm&amp;quot; in the eastern wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kanagi screenshot.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo decides to contact Kanagi Izumi, the powerful Magical Girl who controls the eastern Daito and Kosho Wards and is a former rival of hers. Kanagi agrees to an alliance, and during their call, Tsukasa of the Wings of the Magius arrives at Kanagi&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tuesday, the 13th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The morning, Felicia and Sana try to accompany Iroha and Yachiyo but are told to rest due to their collapse the previous night. Iroha and Yachiyo leave them behind. Meanwhile in Kosho Ward, Iroha, Yachiyo, Momoko, and Kanagi meet and Kanagi agrees to ally with them against the Wings of the Magius. They combine their Rumor data on a map, which reveals a circular pattern with a vacant center in Kosho Ward and Kanagi identifies the old railway yard as the likely location of the Wings&#039; base.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After learning the truth about Witches, Madoka questions Kyubey about a way to avoid becoming a Witch. Kyubey states he knows of no method and reveals he cannot enter Kamihama City himself. He proposes an alliance to investigate the Wings of the Magius but Madoka refuses to promise cooperation. She resolves to return to Kamihama with her friends, but then a Witch from Kamihama appears in Mitakihara.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 7: If We Could All Share with Each Other|Another Story Chapter 7: If We Could All Share with Each Other]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura defeat the Kamihama Witch. They share Grief Seeds and note the alarming appearance of foreign Witches in their city. The trio resolves to go to Kamihama the next day to find answers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Around this time, Kyoko successfully infiltrates the Wings of the Magius. She is assigned to a team tasked with dealing with a group that erases Rumors, which she suspects is Iroha&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s group travels to the railway yard but finds it empty. They are ambushed by Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who summon Witches and during the battle, Kanagi uses her unique power to read Iroha&#039;s true intentions and confirms her sincerity. Kanagi then joins the fight and helps defeat the Amane sisters and their Black Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi uses her power on the defeated Amane sisters to read their minds and she learns that Tsuruno is still completely brainwashed and has become part of an Uwasa to protect it. She also learns Tsuruno&#039;s location is at the Ferris Wheel Field in Daito Ward and the group prepares to move out immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Sana and Felicia wait anxiously and Yachiyo calls them with an update.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Rena visits Kaede at her house, and after an argument involving slapping and pinching, Kaede reconciles with Rena and agrees to return to school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team arrives in Daito Ward, where Yachiyo and Iroha plan to enter the &amp;quot;amusement park&amp;quot; Rumor to save Tsuruno, while Felicia, Sana, Momoko, and Kanagi hold off the Wings of the Magius. The group locates the Rumor&#039;s entrance and Kanagi and Momoko stay behind to fight the Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo proceed and confront Alina, Touka, and Mifuyu, where Alina declares her intent to erase them. During the battle, Mifuyu secretly tells Yachiyo that destroying the main Uwasa will kill Tsuruno, and that they must instead tear the Uwasa from her by connecting with her heart. Mifuyu also reveals Tsuruno is in a Ferris wheel car.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101705 uwasatsuruno.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo enter the Rumor, &amp;quot;Chelation Land,&amp;quot; which induces a hazy, thoughtless state. They find Tsuruno, who has fully merged with the Uwasa and acts as the park&#039;s host. Tsuruno tries to force them to relax and stay, serving them hotpot in mugs reminiscent of Mikazuki Villa, but they refuse and attempt to reason with Tsuruno, and she attacks them. Following Mifuyu&#039;s advice, they combine their magic to tear the Uwasa from Tsuruno in one powerful strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nemu02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After Tsuruno is freed from the Uwasa, Yachiyo realizes that Tsuruno&#039;s cheerful demeanor was a facade to hide her pain and guilt over past events, including the death of Mel. The team defeats the main Uwasa of Chelation Land and the Magius, Touka, Nemu Hiiragi, and Alina, confront the group. Nemu reveals she is the &amp;quot;Creator&amp;quot; of all the Rumors in Kamihama and the Magius explain their goal: to use the energy generated by Rumors and Witches to hatch &amp;quot;Embryo Eve,&amp;quot; a being that will liberate all Magical Girls worldwide from the fate of becoming Witches. They state the phenomenon requires the presence of all three Magius and a massive energy source, for which they have used the people of Kamihama and the teams part ways in opposition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 14th==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101701 coaster02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, at Mikazuki Villa, the team summarizes the Magius&#039; plan and that Kamihama is an incubator for Embryo Eve. They resolve to stop the Magius due to the plan&#039;s high human cost and the group gives Yachiyo the set of sakura blossom-themed coasters as a symbol of their team unity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka are separately attacked by multiple Kamihama Witches in Mitakihara before reuniting. They realize the Witch incursion is a coordinated attack meant to prevent them from leaving Mitakihara. Their magic and Grief Seed reserves are heavily depleted in the constant battles.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the ongoing Witch attacks, the trio is overwhelmed by a powerful Witch and is forced to retreat. Sayaka breaks down, admitting her terror of becoming a Witch and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka share their fears and resolve to face the threat together. They are observed by Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, who imply the attack is part of their plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Fendt Hope, Kyoko, having gained the trust of her unit, is taken on a tour of the Wings of the Magius headquarters by her White Feather superior.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, the three defeat the Feathers sent to observe them, and after interrogating them, they receive a message from Iroha about how to save Mami. Holy Mami arrives to Mitakihara and reveals she brought the Witches to Mitakihara to keep the three of them &amp;quot;safe,&amp;quot; and insists the Magius will save them. Alina Gray also appears and traps Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka in a Barrier, which Mami seals with her ribbons.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her infiltration, Kyoko is taken to Hotel Fenthope by Mifuyu Azusa. She confronts Holy Mami, accusing her of not being the real Mami Tomoe. Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi arrive and reinforce the Rumor brainwashing on Mami. Mifuyu secretly escorts Kyoko away and reveals the Magius&#039; plans: they are using a mysterious entity called &amp;quot;Eve&amp;quot; to liberate Magical Girls and are deliberately bringing Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama to hatch it. Horrified, Kyoko rejects the Magius and is led out of the city by Mifuyu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 8: Once Again From Here|Another Story Chapter 8: Once Again From Here]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko arrives in Mitakihara and frees Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka from Alina&#039;s Barrier. She explains the Magius&#039; plan to bring Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama and Homura urges the group to stay in Mitakihara for safety. Kyoko departs alone, later resolving to return and crush the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Iroha has a sudden memory flashback to the hospital, triggered by the word &amp;quot;sakura.&amp;quot; She remembers a story she, Ui, Touka, and Nemu created about the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot; She deduces this Rumor is real and located at the hospital, and that all the Rumors were created there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Touka and Nemu observe that Embryo Eve has reached a critical state and they confirm that a legendary, cross-dimensional event they foresaw: the arrival of Walpurgisnacht, will provide the final, massive energy surge needed to hatch Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo calls a meeting with the Mikazuki Villa household, Tsuruno, and the Momoko trio to share her concern that rumors persist even after they defeat the Uwasa themselves. The group splits up to investigate whether the original Uwasa have truly vanished or transformed into something new.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hereafter: &amp;quot;The Rumor of the Rumor of the Rumor&amp;quot;|Hereafter: &amp;quot;The Rumor of the Rumor of the Rumor&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko, Kaede, and Rena investigate the Breakup Staircase and find only scattered internet gossip remains. During their search, lingering tensions surface over Rena&#039;s painful memories of when Kaede was kidnapped by that Uwasa, but the trio ultimately reconciles and continues working together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno visit Mizuna Shrine, where the Séance Shrine Uwasa has transformed into a popular spot for relationship prayers with new mascots. They encounter a grieving girl who comes daily to pray for her deceased friend, and Yachiyo is reminded of her own departed companions Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Felicia track down the man behind the revived Misery Water rumor, who confesses he was scammed into buying the water and cannot bring himself to deceive others. Felicia helps him find honest work, and the rumors die out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana investigates an online forum where troubled users make veiled threats, but the rumor fades without incident. Tsuruno and Iroha check Chelation Land, where Tsuruno reflects on her past brainwashing and muses about whether some Uwasa exist independently of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The groups reconvene and report that all investigated rumors have left minimal traces. Yachiyo concludes their investigation of the Uwasa is complete, and only the Wings of Magius themselves remain to be confronted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voices from Beyond, Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the afterlife, Mel Anna meets Kanae Yukino, another Magical Girl ghost who also died fighting a Witch. Mel is thrilled to discover they were both on a team with Yachiyo Nanami and calls Kanae her senpai. Kanae takes Mel to a ghost cafe where deceased Magical Girls gather, explaining they cannot interact with the living world except through psychics.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Voices From Beyond|Voices From Beyond]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they wander Kamihama, Mel notices Witch numbers rising dramatically and worries about Yachiyo. They follow Yachiyo and are relieved to find she has new companions in Iroha Tamaki and others, though they remain concerned about their former teammate Mifuyu&#039;s absence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, they watch helplessly as Yachiyo battles the Wings of Magius and eventually enters the Memory Museum, where she relives the trauma of losing Mel and Kanae. When Yachiyo dissolves her team afterward, convinced her magic causes others to die for her, the ghosts desperately try to reach her. Kanae notices Yachiyo kept their mementos: Mel&#039;s fortune log and Kanae&#039;s notebook. They focus their thoughts on these items, and that night, Yachiyo discovers their messages—Kanae&#039;s lyrics about forming a circle and Mel&#039;s fortune predicting the current events. Grateful, she resolves to move forward. Their successful contact gets their ghost licenses suspended, and they watch Yachiyo&#039;s dream of their encounter before fading.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 15th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius initiate a city-wide offensive, unleashing powerful Witches and sending brainwashed Black and White Feathers to indiscriminately attack other Magical Girls. Mami delivers a declaration of war to Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will no longer delay their plan for &amp;quot;freedom.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 8: Kamihama Painted in Lies|Chapter 8: Kamihama Painted in Fiction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magical Girls of Kamihama form a coordinated response and Yachiyo&#039;s team devises a strategy: first, eliminate the unleashed Witches; second, protect other Magical Girls and direct them to Mitama&#039;s shop as a safe haven; third, deal with the rampaging Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, recalling the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; in Hokuyo Ward, theorizes it could be the location of the Magius&#039; hidden base. Yachiyo approves Iroha and Sana to investigate this lead separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next several hours, the teams execute the plan. Yachiyo rescues Ren from a Black Feather and escorts her to Mitama&#039;s shop. Kaede Afinds Konomi protecting an injured Kako; together they defeat a Witch and get Kako to safety. Rena aids Asuka and Sasara, later teaming with Ria and Manaka to defeat a Witch. Momoko and Aimi rescue Kokoro and Masara from Feathers. Tsuruno works with Hinano to eliminate a Witch and warns her about the Feathers. Felicia fights alongside Akira and Nanaka&#039;s group, eventually reuniting with Tsuruno. Kanagi protects Himika from Feathers and sends her to Mitama&#039;s. Yachiyo and Kanagi also rescue Riko and Ayaka from Feather attacks and track the enemy to a heliport. Yachiyo, Kanagi, Momoko&#039;s team, and Tsuruno&#039;s team successfully clear the city of the powerful Witches and they rescue and guide numerous Magical Girls to Mitama&#039;s shop. Momoko confronts Mitama, challenging her to abandon her neutral stance and Mitama agrees to allow her shop to be used as a headquarters and to share her knowledge about the Magius&#039; plans.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama reveals the truth that Magical Girls are destined to become Witches, and that the Magius aim to use the energy from Embryo Eve to spread the Doppel phenomenon worldwide, preventing this fate. However, their methods involve sacrificing the citizens of Kamihama and other Magical Girls to gather this energy, so the Magical Girls at the shelter decide to join the fight against the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, in Chuo Ward, Yachiyo and Kanagi are ambushed by Mami and a horde of brainwashed Feathers at the Kamihama Central Tower heliport. The battle is difficult due to the Feathers&#039; numbers and Mami&#039;s enhanced power from the Uwasa. Kanagi reads Mami&#039;s mind and finds her personality has been completely overwritten by the Uwasa&#039;s influence, leaving only her devotion to the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia then arrive as reinforcements and during the fight, a Black Feather loses her &amp;quot;Receiver Pendant.&amp;quot; Kanagi reads this Feather&#039;s mind, uncovering that the Feathers&#039; berserk state is caused by the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Receiver Pendant,&amp;quot; which numbs their emotions and forces them to obey the Magius&#039; orders. The memory also reveals the three Magius orchestrating the attack to harvest emotional energy from the chaos, believing it will bring their utopia closer. The Feather who lost her pendant then begins to regain her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team battles the brainwashed Mami and the Wings of the Magius. With the help of Momoko&#039;s team and Kanagi&#039;s ability to read the enemy&#039;s weakness, they remove the Uwasa from Mami, freeing her from its control. Mami collapses from exhaustion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Homura pleads with Madoka and Sayaka not to go to Kamihama, fearing for their lives against Walpurgisnacht. After initial hesitation, Madoka and Sayaka resolve to go and Homura agrees to accompany them. The trio leaves for Kamihama but cannot contact Iroha Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Upon arriving in Kamihama, the three are attacked by brainwashed Black Feathers in Sakae Ward, but the Feathers suddenly regain their senses and flee. The trio pursues them into Central Ward and meets Kanoko Yayoi, Karin Misono, and Natsuki Utsuho. They learn that other Magical Girls are gathering at Mitama Yakumo&#039;s office and Karin reveals she saw Nanaka Tokiwa carrying an unconscious Mami there. The group goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds Mami, who has been freed from the Magius&#039; control and awakens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius then execute their plan: they cause a city-wide blackout and seize control of Kamihama&#039;s radio waves and power grid. They use Nemu&#039;s power to project a false utopia over the city, attracting Witches, and Touka&#039;s power to send a signal that summons the legendary Witch, Walpurgisnacht. Their goal is to use the chaos and emotional energy to hatch &amp;quot;Eve.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana infiltrate the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; Labyrinth, initially having their presence hidden due to Sana&#039;s unique magic. There, Iroha confronts Touka and Nemu, using the Uwasa itself as proof that her memories of their shared past with Ui are real. Despite this, Touka and Nemu don&#039;t believe her and refuse to halt their plans. Alina arrives, captures Iroha, and takes her to their main base, Hotel Fendt Hope. Afterwards, Sana escapes and informs Yachiyo&#039;s arriving team of Iroha&#039;s capture.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Mitama reveals she previously supplied the Wings with Grief Seeds in exchange for neutrality but has now chosen to side with Yachiyo&#039;s team against them. Mami herself awakens, now having reconciled with her inner turmoil. Now, Yachiyo&#039;s team, reinforced by Momoko&#039;s team and Mami, prepares to assault Hotel Fendt Hope to rescue Iroha and stop the Magius before Walpurgisnacht arrives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, freed from the Uwasa&#039;s influence, resolves to expose the Magius&#039; true plans to the Feathers and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka decide to support her instead of joining Iroha&#039;s group. Nanaka and her team escort them to the heliport and during the journey, Mami explains to Nanaka that the Feathers&#039; loyalty was placed not in the Magius themselves, but in Mifuyu Azusa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 9: Take My Hand|Another Story Chapter 9: Take My Hand]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the heliport, Mami arrives where the exhausted Feathers and Kamihama Magical Girls are at a stalemate. She reveals the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice hundreds of civilians, including the Feathers&#039; own friends and family, to Walpurgisnacht. She also details their previous use of the Chelation Land Rumor for a similar purpose and the Feathers are shocked and dismayed. Some even accuse Mami of hypocrisy, which she does not deny.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Feathers split into two factions: one that still desires liberation at any cost and another that vows to protect Kamihama. A fight breaks out between them and Madoka and the others defend Mami, declaring their unwavering friendship. Moved, Mami asks the Feathers if they have anyone they trust unconditionally, as she now does, and the Feathers state they trust Mifuyu and demand to hear the truth from her directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami entrusts the Feathers to Nanaka&#039;s team, while she, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka then proceed to Hotel Fendthope to aid Iroha. On the way, Mami thanks her friends and asks them to rely on her as an equal ally and friend, not as a veteran. They arrive at the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Mitama is guarding the entrance. She confirms she is aware of Mami&#039;s past struggles and allows the group to pass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 16th==&lt;br /&gt;
* At Hotel Fendt Hope, Sana infiltrates the hotel to find Iroha and she overhears Feathers discussing Iroha&#039;s location and heads there. Iroha is held in a cell and, with her Soul Gem confiscated, she reflects on her memories of Ui, Touka, and Nemu and resolves to stop the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their plans and Alina demands Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem and body be brought to her. A weather report at the same time indicates the approach of Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana locates Iroha&#039;s cell, and she breaks Iroha out, but the act of breaking the cell door triggers an Uwasa, as the entire building is part of a Rumor. Sana defeats the Uwasa and as they flee, they are ambushed by Black Feathers. Kyoko Sakura, who was undergoing an orientation with the Feathers but decided against joining them, intervenes and helps defeat the attackers as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha explains the Magius&#039; goal is to summon Walpurgisnacht, and Kyoko reveals the Magius also plan to use Iroha, Mifuyu, and the Amane sisters as nourishment for &amp;quot;Eve,&amp;quot; the core of the system. Suddenly, Iroha collapses and stops breathing due to the distance from her Soul Gem. A Black Feather who pretended to be unconscious seizes Iroha&#039;s body and escapes with it, and Sana and Kyoko give chase.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team enters the Hotel Fendt Hope through the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth and they split into two teams: Yachiyo&#039;s group heads to the top floor to rescue Mifuyu and the Amane sisters, while Momoko&#039;s group searches for Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team finds Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa unconscious, their bodies separated from their Soul Gems. They quickly recover the Soul Gems, reviving the three, and Mifuyu confirms the Magius summoned Walpurgisnacht to provide energy to hatch Eve. Mifuyu and the Amane sisters renounce the Magius and join Yachiyo&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Iroha is transported by a Black Feather who reveals her motivation: her younger sister turned into a Witch, and she supports the Magius to prevent others from suffering the same fate. Momoko&#039;s team intercepts them and rescues Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko and Sana fight their way through the hotel and reunite with the main group. Momoko&#039;s team recovers a bag containing Iroha&#039;s, Mifuyu&#039;s, and the Amane sisters&#039; Soul Gems. A group of Feathers from the East confronts them but is persuaded by Kanagi to stand down, and they retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the teams reunited, the full coalition of Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, Kanagi, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Kyoko regroups. They possess all the stolen Soul Gems and are united in their goal to stop the Magius and confront Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team&#039;s path to the underground chapel is blocked and Mifuyu determines the magical building, a Rumor crafted by Nemu Hiiragi, has been reconfigured. Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa attempt to break the blockade, but a powerful magical wind erupts, separating the group. Mifuyu, the Amane sisters, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, and Kyoko are blown outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, Sana, Felicia, Tsuruno, and Kanagi remain inside and they defeat an Uwasa that attacks them. Mifuyu communicates from outside that they are locked out, and she devises a new plan: her group will gather other Kamihama Magical Girls to attack and destroy the Uwasa of Hotel Fendt Hope itself, which will collapse the building. She instructs Yachiyo&#039;s group to hurry to the underground chapel for safety before the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu&#039;s group fights off Witches released by Alina Gray as a defense measure. Mami, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka also arrive and assist them. After the battle, Mami convinces Mifuyu to address all the Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, and using the Amane sisters&#039; sound magic, Mifuyu broadcasts a telepathic message across Kamihama, revealing the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice civilians and summon Walpurgisnacht. She urges the Feathers to lay down their arms and prepare to fight the legendary Witch. Many Feathers also heed her call and defect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami then uses her magic to create a small opening in the building&#039;s barrier and enters Hotel Fendt Hope alone to rejoin Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kyoko is noted to be absent. Yachiyo&#039;s team searches for the entrance to the underground chapel and Mami reveals she concealed the entrance with her magic. She severs the ribbon hiding the path, officially breaking her ties with the Wings of the Magius and Mami then leaves to assist with the attack on the Uwasa of Fendt Hope outside. Kyoko meets Mami along the way and gives her a Grief Seed before they both exit the building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team then encounters false copies of Touka, Nemu, and Alina from the Mirror Witch&#039;s barrier; they realize the fakes speak differently and defeat them before continuing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, Mifuyu&#039;s group, now joined by Mami, Kyoko, and the Feathers who defected, attacks the Uwasa of Fendt Hope. Despite a coordinated assault, the Uwasa proves extremely resilient and withstands their combined power. The battle continues as the city-wide weather disaster escalates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team proceeds down a long staircase into a deep, dark underground area filled with strong magical impurities. Along the way, they are confronted by Mirror copies of themselves that voice their deepest insecurities, but each member overcomes their own doubts by relying on their friends. In the underground chapel, they find Alina, Nemu, and Touka waiting for them. At the back of the chapel, they see the massive, unhatched form of the Witch known as Embryo Eve. They reveal the full scope of their plan. They explain that Kyubey&#039;s true mission is to harvest the emotional energy of Magical Girls to counteract the universe&#039;s heat death. The cycle of hope and despair, culminating in a Magical Girl&#039;s transformation into a Witch, produces the necessary energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius intend to usurp this system. They plan to use the phase transition energy from Eve&#039;s transformation into a full Witch to create a permanent forcefield over Kamihama. This field would allow Magical Girls to release their impurities as Doppels instead of becoming Witches, and the energy would be fed back to the universe, making Kyubey and new Magical Girl contracts obsolete. The imminent arrival of Walpurgisnacht is a key part of their plan, as its destruction by Eve will provide the massive energy required.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Despite understanding the plan, Iroha and her team refuse to accept the Magius&#039; methods or their control over the future. The Magius argue that without their plan, Walpurgisnacht will destroy the city regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 2.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, the battle against the Uwasa of Fendt Hope continues. Realizing they are losing, Mifuyu uses a dangerous self-illusion to unleash all her magic at once in a final attack. She destroys the Uwasa but becomes incapacitated in the process as her Soul Gem starts breaking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the chapel, the destruction of the Uwasa causes Fendt Hope&#039;s Labyrinth to collapse, and the chapel is exposed to the outside as the building disappears. After the collapse of Hotel Fendt Hope, the teams reunite in the forest as the Labyrinth vanishes. Yachiyo learns that Mifuyu was severely injured destroying the Uwasa and was taken to Mitama for treatment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius appear with Embryo Eve, now freed from the chapel, and they prepare to fully release Eve so it can devour the approaching Walpurgisnacht. A battle ensues as the teams try to stop them and Iroha and Sana break through the defensive line of Familiars to attack Eve directly. Iroha&#039;s attack on Eve fails and Eve captures Iroha but does not harm her. A bright light emanates from Iroha, allowing Sana to rescue her. Sana reveals she possesses a branch from the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, which was not in bloom when she received it. The branch suddenly blossoms after Iroha touches Eve and Iroha realizes that Embryo Eve is her missing sister, Ui Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana confront Embryo Eve on Takayama Mountain and Iroha believes Eve is her sister, Ui Tamaki, but Eve breaks free from the mountain and begins to move toward Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream|Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama City, Walpurgisnacht approaches from the sea, accompanied by a massive horde of Familiars that begin to swarm the city. Magical Girl teams led by Hinano Miyako and Nanaka Tokiwa engage the Familiars along the coast to prevent widespread destruction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the ruins of Hotel Fendt Hope, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo bring the injured Mifuyu to Mitama Yakumo for emergency aid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Takayama Mountain, Iroha pleads with the combined Magical Girl forces not to kill Eve, revealing her belief that it is Ui. The Magius leaders and Alina retreat. Eve leaps into the sky, heading for Sankyo Ward in Kamihama. Yachiyo Nanami&#039;s team prepares to pursue Eve, while Madoka Kaname&#039;s group from Mitakihara heads to the coast to help defend against Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Magius headquarters, Touka and Nemu dismiss Iroha&#039;s claims about Ui, despite Nemu&#039;s private suspicions. Alina expresses interest in Iroha&#039;s memories but remains focused on Eve&#039;s hatching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Eve&#039;s arrival in Sankyo Ward, Mitama informs Iroha and the team that Ui&#039;s true body and Soul Gem are contained within Embryo Eve, which is a &amp;quot;Half-Witch.&amp;quot; To save Ui, they must defeat Eve&#039;s manifested form without destroying the Soul Gem and Mitama identifies a large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest as the core that maintains its form and its weak point. Mitama also treats the comatose Mifuyu, whose Soul Gem is critically cracked from overuse. Mitama stabilizes it but cannot fully heal her, and Tsukuyo and Tsukasa decide to rejoin the fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Eve rampages through Sankyo Ward, the combined Magical Girl teams attack Eve but find their assaults completely ineffective. Mitama, the Amane sisters, and other groups like Hinano Miyako&#039;s team regroup and they decide to consolidate their forces: one group will focus on defeating Eve, while the other prepares for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s landfall.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia readies her hammer and strikes Eve on the head with a magic‑powered blow, using her memory‑obliterating ability to confuse Eve and halt its advance; in the aftermath of the strike, a strange glow is visible near Eve&#039;s belly. Meanwhile, the Amane sisters relay the critical intelligence about Eve&#039;s red jewel weak point to Yachiyo&#039;s team. Eve begins to move toward Chuo Ward, and Sana proposes a plan to immobilize Eve so the team can target its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, the combined forces of Yachiyo&#039;s team, the Amane sisters, and other White Feathers execute a plan to immobilize Embryo Eve. They use chains from Sana&#039;s shield, spears, and plants to bind Eve to a large building and Iroha successfully strikes the large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest, its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eve retaliates by absorbing a massive vortex of impurities its Familiars had collected, causing its body to mutate and merge with the jewel. Iroha then sees a vision of Ui trapped within the core, reaffirming her resolve to save her, but the Magius arrive to protect Eve and ensure it consumes Walpurgisnacht. Iroha declares her intent to enter the gem to save Ui directly, and despite being severely injured, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia hold off the Magius, creating an opening for Iroha to advance toward Eve&#039;s core.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:10-19.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha reaches Ui&#039;s body but cannot shatter the gem surrounding it completely. Touka arrives at her side, and questions her motives. Iroha declares Ui is her sister and a precious friend to Touka and Nemu, and as Iroha reaches for Ui, the Embryo Eve attacks and Lil&#039; Kyubey intervenes and blocks the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu experience a flood of memories, recalling the original events. She remembers seeing Iroha with Kyubey in a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, learning about Magical Girls, and devising a plan with Ui and Nemu to usurp Kyubey&#039;s powers to create an automatic purification system and save all Magical Girls. Their plan failed when Ui&#039;s &amp;quot;harvest&amp;quot; ability went haywire upon her transformation, forcing Nemu to sever Ui&#039;s soul from her body and store it within the de-powered, small Kyubey to prevent her from becoming a Witch. This act erased Ui from the world&#039;s memory, as well as any traces of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Regaining their memories, Touka uses her stored energy to destabilize the Embryo Eve and Nemu uses her stories to restrain it. Iroha shatters Eve&#039;s central gem, and the small Kyubey releases Ui&#039;s soul. Ui awakens and reassures Touka and Nemu that she does not blame them for their shared decision. The Embryo Eve, now soulless, begins to decay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined Magical Girl forces, including Mami, Kyoko, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura, continue their battle against Walpurgisnacht in Chuo Ward. Despite their numbers, the Witch proves immensely powerful and resilient.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102304 mikage desire.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, a massive explosion of light and energy erupts from the location of the decaying Embryo Eve. The Eve has transformed into a new, stable form, and Touka deduces that Alina, who had previously shrunk the anti-Kyubey forcefield to contain the city&#039;s energy, has now wrapped that forcefield tightly around Eve. This action stabilized Eve&#039;s energy and prevented its decay, allowing Alina to control it as a tool for her art. Alina appears, now fused with an Uwasa in a manner similar to [[Holy Mami]], and declares her intent to use Eve to create her ultimate masterpiece, disregarding the goal of Magical Girl liberation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, as this is taking place, [[Mikage Yakumo]], Mitama&#039;s younger sister, is approached by Kyubey when the Barrier disappears. After he explains Mitama&#039;s wish to her, Mikage makes a wish of her own to undo the effects of Mitama&#039;s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 2: Smiles and Fireworks|Arc 2, Chapter 2]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Holy Alina]] asserts that humanity subconsciously desires destruction and that she will use the Embryo Eve to fulfill this wish as her ultimate artwork. Kanagi confronts her own past desire to destroy the city due to its history of conflict but ultimately rejects Alina&#039;s path as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 nemu uwasa.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu, as the creator of Alina&#039;s Uwasa, takes responsibility. She uses the last of her life force to summon every Uwasa recorded in her book to attack Alina directly. The attack defeats Alina, making her disappear, but Nemu collapses, severely weakened and unable to move her legs, so White Feathers evacuate her to safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 eve user1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Embryo Eve, now uncontrolled, begins to rampage and targets Ui, attempting to reabsorb her. Lil&#039; Kyubey implies a solution: it will take Ui&#039;s place within Eve. Touka realizes that the small Kyubey, which contains Ui&#039;s former soul and Kyubey&#039;s original functions, possesses similar attributes to Eve. It is also incapable of becoming a Witch. Lil&#039; Kyubey merges with the Embryo Eve, causing it to release all orbs of light from its body, lading in different parts of Kamihama. The small Kyubey thus becomes the core of the &amp;quot;Automatic Purification System&amp;quot; that Touka, Ui, and Nemu originally envisioned, preventing Magical Girls from becoming Witches within Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival, the combined forces of Magical Girls, including the various teams from Kamihama and the team from Mitakihara, are on the verge of defeat. Homura and the others exhaust their weapons and energy in a desperate attempt to defeat it. They are exhausted, out of Grief Seeds, many are incapacitated, and despite their injuries and depleted resources, the girls refuse to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Last Magia|The Last Magia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Walpurgisnacht prepares a massive attack that seems certain to annihilate them, an unknown, benevolent force envelops the Magical Girls. Iroha hears a mysterious voice and sees white feathers raining down, an experience shared by everyone on the battlefield. They all experience a sudden surge of energy and a feeling of being urged forward. This voice is from the Law of Cycles, who had been watching the timeline but not interfering with it. The feathers rejuvenate the group, lifting their spirits and empowering them to continue fighting; their strength is restored, and even the injured find themselves able to fight again. With morale returned, they rally together for one final, united assault, redirecting Walpurgisnacht to Kaihin Park using a coordinated strategy with their unique magical abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined forces of Magical Girls coordinate their unique magics to combat Walpurgisnacht: &lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Natsuki Utsuho initiate the counterattack by using their Encouragement and Cheering magic to boost the morale and power of all allies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seizing this surge of energy, the team implements a complex strategy to control the battlefield. First, Felicia, Meiyui Chun, and Rika Ayano use their Memory Erasure, Persuasion, and Mind-Altering magic to disorient Walpurgisnacht and force it to change course toward the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** To precisely guide the Witch to the intended battleground, Tsuruno, Riko Chiaki, and Emiri Kisaki then use their Good Luck, Luring, and Charm magic, successfully leading Walpurgisnacht to the beachfront park while evading its attacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Once there, the focus shifts to immobilizing the colossal foe. Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Asuka Tatsuki use their Flute Blossom Resonance and Action Control magic in an attempt to halt Walpurgisnacht&#039;s movement entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When it retaliates, Himika Mao diverts its attacks, creating an opening for Kanagi Izumi, who, with a power boost from Mitama&#039;s Coordination, attacks it directly to stun it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** This creates the crucial opening for a full restraint, and Mami, Kanoko Yayoi, and Kaede use Ribbon Binding, Stitching, and Plant magic to ensnare the Witch, which Rena amplified by using her Transformation magic to transform into Kaede and double the restraining power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Walpurgisnacht finally immobilized, Nanaka organizes their forces while Hazuki Yusa and Akira Shinobu identify its weak point with their magic, a gear connected to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire group then launch a coordinated, all-out assault, with offensive magics like Hinano Miyako&#039;s Chemical Explosions leading the charge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout the final attack, Kokoro Awane, Ayame Mikuri, and Konoha Shizumi provide vital defense with their Wall Creation, Safeguarding, and Fog Generation magic, protecting the assault team and ensuring their united strike could land.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Realizing their combined assault was not enough to deliver a final blow, the Magical Girls regroup and to ensure they could act as one perfect unit, Reira Ibuki uses her Purifying Flame to heal their wounds and replenish their energy, while Mito Aino uses her Heart-Linking magic to synchronize their hearts and minds, allowing their resolve to become perfectly aligned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With their spirits united, they form a new strategy and Konomi Haruna uses her magic to force their Fighting Spirit to Bloom, amplifying their collective potential, while Kako Natsume uses her Event Reproduction magic to reinforce the gathered energy, and Ren Isuzu enacts her Nirvana magic to ensure the attack would bring permanent rest to the Witch if successful.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The plan to create a final weapon then commences. Ui uses her Harvest magic to gather the hope and magical energy from every single Magical Girl on the battlefield. She passes this immense energy to Touka, who used her Conversion magic to condense it all into a single, concentrated mass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* This mass of collective hope is then entrusted to Yachiyo, whose unique magic of Inheritance allows her to embody and control the power. She and Iroha shape this energy into a gigantic, radiant arrow aimed at the weak point that had been identified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they prepared to fire, Walpurgisnacht launches an attack to free itself from their binds. In that moment, Homura activates her Time-Stop, and touches Iroha, allowing her to move within the suspended time and take aim unimpeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the path clear, Iroha releases the arrow and strikes the central gear with overwhelming force. As time resumed, the arrow consumed Walpurgisnacht in a brilliant explosion, finally ending the calamity and clearing the sky over Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102005 magicalgirl3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura reflects that she has finally surpassed this battle after countless timelines, and Madoka expresses relief that no more people will suffer from Walpurgisnacht. The girls in Kamihama also celebrate their hard-earned victory, despite the fact that many are injured and exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Epilogue==&lt;br /&gt;
* Some days after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, Iroha and Ui see their parents off at the airport as they leave for their overseas assignment. Iroha and Ui then return to Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama City, where Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana welcome them back. Mifuyu is also present, as Iroha was able to use her magic to repair Mifuyu&#039;s damaged Soul Gem, allowing her to recover. Later that day, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Kanagi, and Mitama visit Mikazuki Villa as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, [[Ultimate Madoka]], a being who identifies as a record-keeper of all universes reflects on the new timeline centered on Kamihama. She states she intervened one last time by sending a &amp;quot;rain of feathers&amp;quot; to empower the Magical Girls but will now only observe, fearing further direct interference could damage this fragile new reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu organize a meeting for all Magical Girls involved in the recent conflict to discuss the actions of the Wings of the Magius and the future fate of all Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu visit the Eternal Sakura. The Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura congratulates them on finally being together as friends and Nemu, who now uses a wheelchair, accepts her condition as a consequence of her past actions. Iroha briefly wonders about the whereabouts of the small Kyubey that once accompanied her, and then meet Lil&#039; Kyubey in the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After some days, Homura reflects on their victory. Despite saving Madoka and defeating Walpurgisnacht, she feels uncertain. The fundamental curse of Magical Girls becoming Witches remains, and she questions if this timeline is truly the best outcome. At school, Mami informs the group about recent disappearances and people getting lost, which they attribute to a new Witch. They devise a plan to track it by mapping the incidents. Kyoko arrives from Kazamino, also hunting the same Witch, and a tense alliance forms.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 10: The Place We Finally Reached|Another Story Chapter 10: The Place We Finally Reached]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group splits into teams to search the area Mami identified. Madoka notices Homura&#039;s preoccupation and reassures her. The teams locate the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and coordinate their attack. During the battle, Homura fears for her friends&#039; safety, but they work together effectively. Kyoko and Sayaka create an opening for Mami and Madoka to deliver the final blow, while Homura evacuates the Witch-Kissed civilians.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Kyoko gives the Grief Seed to Mami and Sayaka declares she has no regrets about becoming a Magical Girl, valuing the power to protect and the friends she has made. This prompts Mami to reconcile with Kyoko, asking to be true friends who help each other when needed again, to which Kyoko agrees. Madoka then states she is also glad she became a Magical Girl, expressing faith in the future because of her friends. This resolve causes Homura to weep with joy, finally believing this timeline, where they face their fate together, could be the one she sought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group, including Kyoko, shares a meal at a pancake restaurant. They discuss an upcoming meeting in Kamihama to address the Magius&#039; actions. While Kyoko opts not to attend, the others plan to update her later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 04 00 0042 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One Saturday, Mami volunteers to help clean the damage done by the Magius incident and Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura go along as well. During it, a Witch attacks and a Magical Girl they were helping unleashes a Doppel. They defeat the Witch and the girl falls unconscious, so Mami takes her to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale|Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After stabilizing her, Mami asks Mitama to help her face her own Doppel and she guides Mami to look within. Mami meets her Doppel and it tries to convince her to forget the past, yet Mami refuses and proclaims that she accepts the Doppel as part of herself. Mami then wakes up, thanking everyone and says they will build the future together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cherry Blossom Dreams===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, the Eternal Sakura completed her duties as an Uwasa when her tree came into full bloom. Her Rumor was rewritten and she was connected to Touka&#039;s server, reborn as an Uwasa with ample knowledge who would later be named Sakurako. Around this time, Yachiyo received a message asking what should be done about the six ringleaders of the Magius—Touka Satomi, Nemu Hiiragi, Mifuyu Azusa, Mitama Yakumo, Tsukuyo Amane, and Tsukasa Amane. Nemu proposed rewriting the Eternal Sakura to serve as an impartial judge. They designed three trials: the first to analyze crimes and calculate a verdict, the second to survey all Magical Girls, and the third to reach a final decision based on responses. Punishments ranged from monitoring to destruction of the Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams|Cherry Blossom Dreams]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the first trial, Sakurako sentenced Touka and Nemu to the maximum penalty. Mifuyu received power revocation, reduced from maximum due to testimony that she helped destroy Fendt Hope. Mitama received conditional power revocation, allowed to transform only for Coordinator work. The Amane sisters received power restriction. After the trial, Touka and Nemu remained calm, thanking everyone. Yachiyo noted they had intentionally omitted their ages from consideration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Nemu and Sakurako wait at a train station with others. Nearby girls whisper about Nemu, recognizing her as one of the Magius and questioning why she faces no punishment. Ui argues with Iroha about using the Stardust Time Viewer, while Touka pushes through the crowd, disheveled from navigating the train alone. The three girls reunite, each feeling it is a dream. Touka sends Ui a photo of the map they created together in the hospital. The group travels to the mall, where Ui finally visits the croquette shop she always wanted to try, and they share plates to taste each other&#039;s orders. From there, they take a rickshaw to Mizuna Shrine, where they briefly encounter Tsukuyo and Tsukasa, who quickly hurry away. The group buys prayer plaques, though most hesitate at the cost until a shrine attendant suggests writing prayers on the back of their fortunes instead. Iroha wishes for all Magical Girls to get along, while Touka and Nemu write their own wishes. They argue over where to go next—Touka wants a lookout point in Hokuyo Ward, but Ui resists rushing. Sakurako suggests they also face reality, so they head to Central Ward, still scarred from Walpurgisnacht and Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui admits she used the library as an excuse to bring them here, hoping the Stardust Time Viewer would show them a hopeful future. Nemu summons the Rumor, transporting them to a star-filled space. The Viewer shows Iroha&#039;s future: a world where the Doppel system has expanded globally and all Magical Girls coexist peacefully. Iroha feels embarrassed, but Sakurako assures her the wish is beautiful. When Ui asks to see her own future, the Viewer has nothing to show. Ui realizes this means Touka and Nemu are absent from Iroha&#039;s future and accuses them of planning to die. The vision fades, returning them to the rubble of Central Ward. Touka and Nemu admit they believe they should die for their crimes, pointing to the destruction around them, the Feathers they manipulated, and the innocent people hurt. Sakurako confirms she knew this all along. Ui slaps them both, demanding they consider how she feels. Nemu explains they wanted to do what they could while they still had time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second trial begins. No surveys have arrived. Sakurako agrees to wait one hour. Yachiyo and others leave to retrieve them. Mifuyu confronts Touka and Nemu, asking if they sabotaged the surveys. They admit they did, altering the date so the surveys would not arrive in time. They wanted to be judged and sentenced to death to spare Ui from the hatred directed at them. Ui refuses to accept this. She and Iroha transform to protect them. The hour ends and Sakurako moves to deliver punishment. Iroha and Ui hold her back as Mifuyu and Mitama join the defense. The Amane sisters attack Sakurako with their flutes, accepting heavier sentences. Iroha realizes they can use photos of the surveys as evidence. Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s phones begin chiming with images from Yachiyo and the others. Iroha begs Sakurako to accept the evidence. Sakurako confirms the surveys are real and delays the trial, requiring them to arrive by day&#039;s end. The surveys show Magical Girls believe Touka and Nemu should be punished, but not killed. Some suggest atonement, rehabilitation, or mentorship. Reading the responses, Touka and Nemu weep, but Ui weeps with joy. Based on the surveys, sentences are reduced. Touka and Nemu receive monitoring with transformation-prevention bracelets, while Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s sentences are reduced to monitoring. The Amane sisters are found not guilty and Feathers who revealed themselves have their cases dismissed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the group gathers. Touka and Nemu wear their bracelets. Sakurako serves drinks. Mifuyu asks about tutoring Touka in exchange for help with pharmacy school. Nemu will rely on Sakurako for mobility on difficult days. Tsuruno suggests welcoming them as the Brains of Kamihama. In the kitchen, Sakurako hugs Touka and Nemu, then Iroha and Ui. She tells them she loves them. The days she always dreamed of have arrived. The real spring can finally begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocolatier in Mirror Country===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro, Masara, Konomi, Asuka and Sasara gather at Manaka&#039;s place to plan their charity bazaar booth. Kokoro and Masara participate to help Himika&#039;s family without making it obvious, while Asuka and Sasara join to invite a lonely girl named Chi whose father died. Konomi&#039;s booth was invited directly due to her popular Valentine&#039;s bouquets. They agree on a collaboration between Walnuts and Blossom the florist, dividing tasks among themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Warming Valentine ~Until your thoughts reach you~|Warming Valentine ~Until your thoughts reach you~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Manaka&#039;s father&#039;s help, Kokoro and Masara make bear-shaped chocolates. Asuka recruits dojo volunteers, Sasara invites Chi and designs leaflets, and Konomi prepares bouquets with Izayoi&#039;s help decorating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the bazaar, adults receive bouquets with donation and children get free chocolates. Chi and her mother visit happily. Himika initially refuses chocolate but accepts after realizing her siblings want it, and they enjoy the day together. The event succeeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later at a celebration party, Sasara and Kokoro feel their efforts changed nothing. Masara scolds them for impatience, explaining kindness takes time. Kanagi and Asuka arrive with good news that Himika&#039;s family is making White Day gifts, and Chi&#039;s mother now calls daily. Relieved, they enjoy the party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Valentine&#039;s Day, girls give chocolates to loved ones. Sasara gives to her father, Asuka to her cousin, and Konomi to her aunt. Masara and Kokoro exchange chocolates at their favorite spot, and Kokoro tearfully reconciles with her parents. Elsewhere, Rena and Tsukuyo each struggle to give chocolates to Kaede and Tsukasa. Following a rumor, they separately pray at a radio tower, accidentally encounter each other, and successfully give their chocolates when Kaede and Tsukasa also arrive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, in Mitakihara, Nagisa bakes a chocolate cake with Mami while feeling that something is wrong, as her memories feel hazy and she seems more childish than she should be. She realizes her memories of being longtime friends with Mami are false, yet she recognizes that the warmth she feels is what she has always wanted. When they finish the cake, a Witch that looks like a younger version of Nagisa steals it, and they chase it into a mirror, finding themselves in a transformed version of the Mirror Witch&#039;s Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Chocolatier in Mirror Country|Chocolatier in Mirror Country / The Mirror World Chocolatier]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They encounter Madoka and Homura trapped in a time loop illusion, free them, and learn that Sayaka and Kyoko went ahead and are now missing. They find Sayaka and Kyoko trapped in a competition for a magical cake, so Mami and Nagisa enter and win by choosing a song they both know well. Using the cake&#039;s wishes, they reunite the group and defeat the attacking Witch. Nagisa realizes she has two sets of memories and deduces the chocolate-loving Witch is an alternate version of herself who wished for chocolate cake instead of cheesecake. This Witch has been consuming the Labyrinth&#039;s power and attracting Witches from parallel worlds through mirror gates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The little Witch steals the cake again, and during the chase, Nagisa and Mami become separated in a dark fog. A poem warns them not to open their eyes or they will lose each other, but Nagisa&#039;s self-doubt overwhelms her. Remembering losing her mother and everyone else, she convinces herself Mami is not really there, opens her eyes, and is consumed by the Witch. The group fights through countless gates to find her and engages the master Witch. Inside, Mami finds Nagisa, hugs her tightly, and promises they will always be friends because of the future they will share, not false memories. Nagisa finally believes her, and the cake is returned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group realizes that even with the master Witch defeated, other Witches have taken its place, so they must clear them all to restore the Labyrinth. They commit to finishing the job together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Labyrinth is cleared, they gather at Mami&#039;s apartment for a chocolate party where Nagisa officially gives Mami the cake. They play poker with chocolate coins to decide how to share the remaining half, and Mami wins, but she divides the cake equally among all six. Everyone agrees it is the best cake in the universe. Nagisa thanks Mami, and Mami welcomes her warmly, calling her a little chocolatier and a lovely new addition to their circle of friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Kamihama, that night, Tsukuyo finds Rena praying at the Chuo Ward radio tower, having both read an online article claiming that twenty minutes of prayer there ensures successful apologies to loved ones. Tsukuyo confesses she hurt her twin sister Tsukasa by rejecting their Valentine&#039;s plans after failing at homemade chocolate, while Rena admits she snapped at Kaede and claimed she had no chocolate for her after Kaede had given her some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The 14th Day Where I Can&#039;t Be Honest|The 14th Day Where I Can&#039;t Be Honest]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their conversation is interrupted when Tsukasa and Kaede suddenly appear, having anticipated their partners would come here to apologize. Tsukasa assures Tsukuyo she was not upset and would treasure any chocolate from her, urging her to be easier on herself. Kaede forgives Rena and asks simply for her to be more honest. Together, the two pairs exchange Valentine&#039;s wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany===&lt;br /&gt;
* Walpurgisnacht&#039;s attack on Kamihama City caused massive damage to Chuo Ward, which the public believes was a natural disaster. Only Magical Girls know the truth and privately, Mitama reflects that the victory gave her hope, but she wonders if the destruction she once wished for can be defied.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany|The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0008 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after Walpurgisnacht, Mitama realizes Doyle has not visited her shop and the last saw him the day before Walpurgisnacht. She assumes the storm made him too scared to go out, so she decides to close her shop and search for him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama looks around the vacant land near her shop and a girl named Ritsumi offers to help. Ritsumi’s cat Arthur ran away before, so she knows where cats hide. They search but find nothing and Ritsumi says Arthur now lives with her grandpa. Mitama realizes Ritsumi is the daughter of the neighbor who owns Arthur and Mitama had mistaken Arthur for Doyle and that Ritsumi has never actually seen Doyle. They end the day without clues and Mitama sends a message to the Magical Girls’ group chat asking if anyone has seen a white tabby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama knocks on the neighbor’s door and Ritsumi’s mother answers. She explains that Arthur was sent away two weeks ago to Ritsumi’s grandpa. Mitama realizes that no one knows where Doyle came from. Ritsumi’s mother promises to keep an eye out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana, Asuka, and others from Mizuna Girls’ Academy saw Mitama’s group chat post and they arrive to help. More volunteers soon arrive: Kaede, Kako, Rena, Konoha’s team, and others. They split up to cover Shinsei Ward and Mitama notes that no one else has ever seen Doyle. Konoha says she never saw a cat at Mitama’s shop. Rena also asks for a photo, but Mitama has none.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds Ritsumi near the bus stop and they search door to door. No one in the neighborhood has seen a white tabby kitten either. Ritsumi says she has read all “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” books and that her favorite is “Invisible Epiphany,” about a detective searching for a lost child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko meets Mitama alone. Momoko says she never saw Doyle and neither did Tsukasa or the other girls. Mitama remembers talking to Doyle in front of them, but they saw no cat ither. Momoko suggests a Rumor is involved, as all Rumors disappeared after the fight with the Magius, except the Eternal Sakura. Coincidentally, Doyle disappeared at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls Nemu, who is still in the hospital and Nemu explains that Doyle was part of the Rumor of the Cat Detective. The Rumor possesses detective novel lovers, detects signs of a case, gets the detective involved, and guarantees a solution. Nemu explains she erased almost all Rumors, including this one. Mitama thinks Doyle disappeared because the Rumor was destroyed and she had solved four cases with Doyle’s help, yet the fifth never began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama re-reads her case files and each one has an opening paragraph she does not remember writing. The first case file hints at Hanna Sarasa. The second hints at Tsukasa. The third and fourth also name the culprits. Mitama realizes Doyle left those hints, and Nemu says the Rumor did not cause incidents, only detected them, so those incidents would have happened anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0009 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Kamihama slowly returns to order. Mitama notes that she cannot rely on Doyle anymore and she hopes she does not get any new cases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui and the Eternal Sakura visit Mitama to deliver a lampshade from Yachiyo. Ui says a girl from her school has gone missing and Mitama is shocked to learn the girl is Ritsumi, who did not come home after school yesterday and the police are investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama goes to the bus stop near her shop and finds Ritsumi’s mother. The mother says Ritsumi likely went to Hokuyo Ward to see her grandpa and Arthur. Ritsumi’s parents are separated and her father lives with his parents in Hokuyo Ward. The mother believes Ritsumi wanted to visit them, but the bus route to Hokuyo was suspended after the disaster but has resumed, bypassing Chuo Ward. Soon, Himika calls Mitama. Himika saw a girl matching Ritsumi’s description waiting at the Shinsei Ward bus stop yesterday, reading a book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi arrive and Momoko explains she has been investigating at school. Ritsumi transferred to Kamihama University Affiliated School six months ago after her parents separated and she moved into the building next to Mitama’s shop. Momoko explains Arthur went to live with her father in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo Ward. Mitama realizes the conflicting information: Arthur was first in Chuo Ward, then evacuated to the grandpa’s house in Hokuyo after the disaster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Satomi Medical Center, Nemu discusses the case with Eternal Sakura. Nemu recalls the hidden hints in Mitama’s case files. The last words of each hint spell “Lost Through Time Eternal,” which is the title of volume 12 of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” In that story, a girl runs away to her old home. Nemu deduces that Ritsumi went to her old apartment in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo. She likely got off at the nearest bus stop and walked into the restricted zone, then she had an accident.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Momoko, and Kanagi search the area near the old apartment and they hear a voice. Ritsumi had fallen into an old underground passage and sprained her ankle. She lost track of time and had no phone. Mitama explains she remembered the Doyle book and Ritsumi admits she was copying the girl in the story as she wanted to see the area where she grew up. The three quickly rescue her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ritsumi is taken to a hospital and also discharged quickly. Her parents agree to let her visit both of them and Arthur whenever she likes. Mitama reflects that Doyle gave her confidence and the city she cursed is still standing, so she dares to believe in hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Momoko finally holds the Coordinator Thank-You Party that was postponed earlier and Rena and Kaede thank Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui reads &amp;quot;The Happy Prince&amp;quot; and reflects on her uncertain purpose as a Magical Girl. While walking, she stops Kyubey from contracting a girl outside Kamihama, explaining she cannot let anyone else suffer the fate of becoming a Witch. When Kyubey asks what he should do instead, she has no answer. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia tells Ui she is overthinking things and should focus on her upcoming combat test. Iroha and Yachiyo serve dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight|A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno gives Ui an enthusiastic pep talk for her live combat test. To remain in Kamihama, Ui must detect and eliminate a Witch alone—the same test Yachiyo gave Iroha when she first arrived. Yachiyo admits the test may be unfair and offers to let Ui choose a partner. With Iroha busy helping Kanagi, Ui chooses Momoko. They depart together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui struggles to sense the Witch&#039;s magic, so they search Mizuna Ward where young women gather. They encounter a Familiar and follow it to a Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After defeating it, Felicia suddenly appears, attacks them, and runs away. Tsuruno gives chase and tackles her. Felicia&#039;s oblivion magic has erased their memory of the Familiar&#039;s pattern, so they cannot track the Witch. Momoko requests a pause, but Yachiyo refuses, stating unexpected events happen in real combat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia admits she interfered because she is jealous that Ui receives everyone&#039;s attention while she struggled alone as a mercenary. Yachiyo explains that Felicia&#039;s past does not justify making others unhappy. Meanwhile, Ui cheers up after eating crepes with Momoko and resolves to continue. As sunset approaches, they search Sakae Ward but find nothing. Yachiyo offers to bring a Familiar for them to retrack, but it disappears before they arrive. Ui suggests checking Hokuyo Ward on a hunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Hokuyo Ward, Ui senses a different Witch&#039;s magical reaction. They follow Witch-kissed people up a mountain toward a labyrinth. At Yachiyo&#039;s house, the others realize Ui failed the test since Yachiyo had to eliminate the original Witch herself, though Yachiyo will allow a retake. They notice Felicia smiling and suspect she interfered again. Rena confesses she helped Felicia erase the hint because she understood Felicia&#039;s jealousy. Tsuruno says the only person who deserves an apology is Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the mountain, Ui and Momoko enter the Witch&#039;s barrier against Momoko&#039;s better judgment. They fight through Familiars but become trapped and cannot escape. The Witch overwhelms them. Yachiyo and the others arrive and join the fight, but Familiars overwhelm them too. Iroha arrives at the last moment to defend Ui. Ui proposes using her ability to harvest impurities, purifying everyone&#039;s Soul Gems so they can fight at full strength. She will temporarily become a Witch, but the Doppel system will contain it. She absorbs the impurities, and the others destroy the Witch while Ui struggles with the darkness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui unleashes her Doppel and meets her Doppel self, who accuses her of wanting punishment and being jealous of others while trapped in the hospital. Ui nearly agrees to let the Doppel consume her but refuses, recognizing it as the easy way out. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words about taking responsibility and confronting the situation honestly. She accepts her wrongs and her true feelings, realizing this difficult path will bring true happiness. The Doppel admits she is right. Iroha wakes Ui at Mitama&#039;s clinic, where she has been unconscious for some time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama checks on Ui after her first Doppel release. Felicia apologizes for her interference and says she thinks Ui is cool. Rena also apologizes for helping Felicia. Ui accepts their apologies and compliments them both, asking Felicia to teach her things. Rena and Felicia feel terrible for how they treated someone so kind. Later that evening at Yachiyo&#039;s house, everyone celebrates Ui passing her test—though she did not defeat the assigned Witch, she tracked a Witch, stayed calm, used her intelligence, and performed better than expected. Ui tells Iroha she now knows what she wants to do as a Magical Girl. Iroha decides to work with other Kamihama Magical Girls to find a way to free them all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui and Iroha encounter Kyubey outside Kamihama attempting another contract and stop him. Kyubey asks what their goal is. They explain they plan to fight and find a way to coexist with Kyubey—if they can expand Kamihama&#039;s miracle globally, Magical Girls can live happily while providing the energy Kyubey needs. Kyubey welcomes the idea if it avoids conflict but warns that Magical Girls worldwide are not as unified as those in Kamihama. Ui wonders how much happiness she can give to the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tart / Darc Magica===&lt;br /&gt;
* Through Minou&#039;s spell from 15th-century France, Ui is pulled into the past, with her phone acting as her Soul Gem and Blank Prophecy, with the power to restore the past&#039;s real history.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rebel of a Dawnless Land|Rebel of a Dawnless Land]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning from the past, Ui finds herself in an antique store, still surrounded by magic bubbles though no memory of what occured. On the floor are the two candles and the old book. She feels they are important but cannot remember why, so she puts them on store shelves before falling asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui wakes up at Mikazuki Villa. Her phone rings with a text of Nemu asking if she knows any charms, as Mitama has been really into them lately. Ui says she knows a charm for good dreams requiring red and blue candles. Nemu asks where she heard about it and Ui isn&#039;t sure but says it was in 15th-century France. Nemu is fascinated and promises to research it. Later, Ui scrolls through her phone and finds a photo she doesn&#039;t recognize with girls she doesn&#039;t know. She begins crying without understanding why and Iroha finds her and hugs her tightly. Suddenly Ui remembers Darc&#039;s final words. She turns to her sister and tells her, &amp;quot;Let&#039;s have a wonderful future together.&amp;quot; Iroha agrees. Ui calms down and heads home to prepare for a slumber party with Nemu and Touka. Iroha, running errands, decides to stop by Mitama&#039;s place afterward. Mitama greets her warmly, mentioning she just learned an interesting little charm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That day, Iroha visits Mitama, who gives her and Yachiyo antique candles for a sweet dream spell. That night, they light the candles and drift off to sleep together, where they&#039;re pulled into the nightmare of Jeanne d&#039;Arc in April 29th, 1429.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Maiden of Hope|The Maiden of Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next morning, Yachiyo reveals she had the same dream. They call Mitama, who is surprised they had nightmares instead of sweet dreams. They decide to try the candles again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Kamihama plunged into darkness and all non-Magical Girls vanished. Their Soul Gems have consumed magic in the real world despite no injuries. Realizing the dream affects reality, they decide to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a lot of fighting, they awaken and prepare for the final battle. In this journey they discover that they&#039;d been traveling to Darc&#039;s dream, and if Darc despairs completely, she will turn into a Witch and trigger a catastrophe affecting the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Felicia and Sana gone and Kamihama empty. Breaking into Mitama&#039;s shop, they find a grimoire revealing the candles were made with Darc&#039;s hair, creating a connection to her dream. They return with the book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They finally awaken at Mikazuki Villa to sunshine and normalcy. Felicia demands steak for dinner. Consulting a history book, they read that on May 7th, 1429, Jeanne d&#039;Arc fought at Tourelles after waking from a dream. The battle was fierce but Orléans was liberated. Iroha notices a portrait in the book showing them in their Magical Girl outfits standing beside Jeanne d&#039;Arc.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at Mitama&#039;s shop, Yachiyo recounts everything. Mitama mentions the spell became widespread in France during Jeanne d&#039;Arc&#039;s era. Iroha realizes Melissa must have spread it after learning it from them in the dream. The use of red and blue candles was too specific to be coincidence. Iroha&#039;s head spins trying to figure out where the spell originated. Yachiyo notes the grimoire never mentioned the candle setup, so the spell just circled around and around. They will never know for certain whether they changed history or were always part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* During their slumber party, Ui, Touka, and Nemu encounter a massive witch, [[Crépuscule de La Reine]]. Touka and Nemu vanish, leaving Ui and Sakurako to face it alone. The witch is unaffected by their attacks and disappears, taking Ui with it into 15th-century France once more, this time in the realm of Purgatory which Minou created. With Pernelle&#039;s help, Ui is soon able to also summon Iroha and Yachiyo there as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;endofalegendthelimitsoflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - End of a Legend, the Limits of Light|End of a Legend, the Limits of Light]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha, Yachiyo, Ui, and Sakurako pass through the gates and return to their future, reuniting with Touka and Nemu as their memories fade.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;endofalegendthelimitsoflight&#039;/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Lil&#039; Kyubey and Ui&#039;s phone as the Blank Prophecy are pulled as &amp;quot;If Factors&amp;quot; into the world of Holy Maiden Academy, which Minou created and maintained for six hundred years after being given a Philosopher&#039;s Stone after Isabeau&#039;s death. However, after her plans are thwarted by the &amp;quot;what if&amp;quot; version of Melissa, he returns and wakes in the real world, where Iroha and Ui assure him it was just a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;counc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Masked Student Council Strikes Back|The Masked Student Council Strikes Back]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Voices from Beyond, Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a year after Voices from Beyond, Part 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With peace restored in Kamihama, Yachiyo visits a flower shop to buy flowers for Mel&#039;s grave, still haunted by never defeating Mel&#039;s Witch. She unexpectedly encounters Mifuyu and Mel&#039;s mother, who reassures them Mel was happy because of their love. Walking toward the cemetery, Yachiyo and Mifuyu are engulfed by the barrier of the Witch Etteilla—Mel&#039;s Witch. They struggle against both the Witch and their own fears: Mifuyu fears defeating it means forgetting Mel, while Yachiyo fears losing anyone else. Remembering the ghosts&#039; encouragement, Yachiyo convinces Mifuyu they must move forward because Mel and Kanae wanted them to. They defeat the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mel&#039;s grave, they place flowers and the Grief Seed from the Witch, hoping her soul has finally found peace. They silently promise to keep moving forward. Mifuyu wonders if Mel&#039;s Witch appeared to give them a push, and they smile, repeating Mel&#039;s favorite phrase: all things happen when they must. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to see the belongings Mel and Kanae left behind, and Mifuyu gladly accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One weekend, Rui ropes Seira into attending Kamiket, a convention for sharing and selling fan-made media in Kamihama. The two became close friends after discovering they are both Magical Girls, and because Seira is the only one who knows about Rui&#039;s embarrassing secret: a heavy case of chuuni-byo. Rui agreed to bring Seira on the condition that only the two of them would go, ensuring nobody else discovered her secret.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!|I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the day of the convention, Rui cannot contain her excitement and slips into character, declaring the convention her sanctuary and the catalog guidebook as Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Her main objective is to purchase the newest installment of her favorite indie game series and meet its creator, MacQueen. On the way to the booth, she accidentally bumps into a stranger who seems irritated about someone not being at the convention yet. When she arrives, the booth attendants inform her that someone has been using counterfeit money, and worse, MacQueen himself is missing. Rui&#039;s imagination immediately conjures a grand conspiracy, but the criminal is soon caught and MacQueen calls to say he overslept. Relieved, Rui takes a photo with the booth girls, but as the picture is taken, chills run down her spine as she senses someone glaring at her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rui dismisses it as her imagination and continues exploring with Seira. Remembering the booth numbers hit by counterfeit money, she realizes they spell the chemical formula for Ricin, a lethal poison. Her imagination ignites again, convincing her that the real attack will come through poisoned food from outside vendors. She rushes them outside to stop the attack, but everyone seems fine, and her Magical Girl ability, which lets her see how close someone is to death, reveals nobody is in danger. Ashamed, she realizes her imagination finally got the best of her and apologizes to Seira. They decide to get lunch, and Rui opens her laptop to install her new game. The screen is black, and in the reflection she sees her own face. Her magic reveals she herself is now close to death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Remembering the chills from earlier, Rui checks the photo and finds the man from earlier glaring at her in the background. She rushes back to the booth to warn the girls, who recognize the man as Miranda, a popular content creator. As they discuss this, MacQueen finally arrives, and Rui sees he is the closest to death&#039;s door, with Miranda also marked. She confronts Miranda, who confesses he intended to kill MacQueen over an alternate ending in the latest game that suggested his favorite sub-heroine may have had a former lover. He pulls out a gun he secretly printed with a smuggled 3D printer. Just as he is about to shoot, Rui shows him a cutscene on her laptop, which is the second part of the alternate ending, unlocked only after clearing the entire game, revealing the sub-heroine fabricated the story to protect the user character. Miranda realizes his mistake and surrenders to security. After the incident, Seira asks if Rui was scared. Rui reveals she always wears chainmail under her clothes and also carried a heavy blunt object for protection, the magically enhanced Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Seira decides to pretend she did not hear that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 11:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura writes in her diary as she and her friends take an air-conditioned express train to the beach for summer vacation. They buy ice cream and enjoy the ride.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Beachside Bonds|Beachside Bonds]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls arrive at their destination, a seaside inn run by Sayaka&#039;s relatives who had a sudden cancellation. Sayaka complains about the heat as they walk to the inn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Sayaka&#039;s aunt shows them to their rooms and warns them not to get lost in the surrounding forest. Outside, two young girls who live at the inn approach Madoka. They ask if she knows someone named Kei, who is looking for someone named Yu. They warn Madoka not to talk to Kei and that she should hold still if Kei enters her room. The girls then leave. Homura suggests Kei might be a cat. They agree to tell the others as Kyoko passes by already in her swimsuit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, the girls play volleyball. Mami spikes the ball hard and hits Homura in the face. They stop the game and Mami frets over Homura. Madoka suggests they rest in the shade while Mami buys something cold. Madoka then suggests they collect pine cones from nearby trees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the forest, a cat appears and leads them deeper into the trees. It guides them to a small shrine, where Homura finds an old notebook. She reads entries from April 20, June 24, August 3, and August 6, all detailing the author&#039;s complicated feelings for someone named Kei. Madoka tells her to put it back without reading further. When they turn around, the cat is gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the beach, Sayaka shares a rumor from the beach house: a girl fell off a nearby cliff years ago and died, and her spirit is reportedly seen rising from the ocean between two and three a.m. Mami shrieks in fear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Kyoko teases Mami about being scared. The conversation turns to ghosts and Kyoko compares them to how normal people might perceive Witches. Madoka feels relieved and tells Sayaka about the twin girls. Sayaka plans to ask them about any pets later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After an Italian dinner, the girls light fireworks on the beach. Kyoko bumps into Hinano Miyako, who doesn&#039;t recognize her but does recognize her Soul Gem ring. Ren Isuzu finds Hinano, followed by Emiri Kisaki and Rika Ayano. The groups combine for fireworks. Emiri admits she used a little magic to help everyone relax, explaining why Kyoko had strange memories of Mami. Kyoko chases Sayaka around the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Heading back to the inn, Sayaka finds her twin cousins lining up stones. They claim the stones protect against Kei entering. They say Kei would hate Sayaka the most because she is nosy, then leave. In her diary, Homura writes that the girls talked until they all fell asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 12&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura&#039;s diary entry describes a dream belonging to someone else. In the dream, the narrator waits for her friend Yusa Yumeno, who arrives with popsicles. The narrator complains that Yusa doesn&#039;t need to come every day, but Yusa insists she can only be her real self around her friend. The narrator believes identity is shaped by others&#039; perceptions. She reveals she may not take college exams due to family obligations and urges Yusa to attend her chosen school, comparing herself to a weed and Yusa to a flower growing in a different direction. The narrator comes home to another hateful letter from classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes in a cold sweat, unable to move. The room smells strongly of seaweed. She sees a pitch-black human shadow sitting between Mami and Sayaka&#039;s futons. It examines their faces, grumbling &amp;quot;wrong, wrong, all wrong.&amp;quot; As it moves toward Madoka, Homura struggles to move. The shadow stops and stares at her, asking &amp;quot;You can see me?&amp;quot; Homura screams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others wake. Sayaka notices the strange smell. Kyoko goes back to sleep. Mami offers water and Homura asks if someone entered the room. They saw no one. Sayaka apologizes for the scary stories. Mami suggests thinking about tomorrow&#039;s fun. Madoka offers to hold Homura&#039;s hand, which she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes early, the ocean scent still strong. She finds the twin girls outside. They ask if she met Kei. Homura asks what Kei is. The girls explain Kei looks like a human made of shadow without facial features, smells of the sea, and emerges from the ocean at night to look for her friend Yu. They repeat that she should do nothing and never talk to her. They notice their protective stones scattered and go to reline them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura suspects this might be a Rumor. She returns to the forest shrine and finds the notebook on the shrine&#039;s lattice door, despite having placed it underneath. She reads entries from May 2, May 20, June 12, and June 26, all detailing the author Yu&#039;s complicated, obsessive feelings for Kei. She replaces the notebook, feeling guilty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Homura recalls more diary entries: July 2 describes Yu placing hands on Kei&#039;s neck as if to strangle her; July 5 compares Kei&#039;s neck to a lizard she killed; July 15 describes Kei now finding Yu after school; July 20 states they should never have met and that both wear bandages to hide bruises on their necks. Madoka points out a small bruise on Homura&#039;s neck.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls begin walking to an aquarium along the coast. Kyoko complains about the distance and suggests fishing instead. Sayaka refuses, traumatized by a recent fishing tournament incident in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the aquarium, they eat fish burgers, marvel at jellyfish, and watch a dolphin and seal show. They leave at sunset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls walk to a cape to watch the sunset. Sayaka warns them not to get too close to the edge, referencing the girl who died. Homura smells flowers and Mami identifies night-blooming jasmine nearby. The scent reminds Homura of her dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recalls another diary entry: August 1 describes Yu feeling happy hearing Kei&#039;s wish despite blaming herself; August 12 states their plan is set for tomorrow, with Yu hoping something will make Kei reconsider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the cape, Kyoko admits feeling down because a cape is the end of the road with nothing after. Mami says it&#039;s more important they could talk again like they used to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary about the difference between the self you know and the self others perceive. She asks Madoka what kind of person she thinks Homura is. Madoka calls her a dear friend who works hard. Homura worries that revealing her time-traveling truth would change this perception. After dinner, the girls settle in for sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 13:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura dreams again of Kei and Yu. Kei calls out that the promised day is here. She has dressed up and brought a ribbon to tie them together. Yu questions if this is right. Kei insists her life belongs only to Yu. They vow: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; They promise to kill each other for every reincarnation as proof of who they are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A voice calls Homura to wake. She awakens to find Madoka standing with eyes closed, enveloped in shadow. Madoka snaps her eyes open and proclaims repeatedly &amp;quot;I got in.&amp;quot; She calls out for Yu, saying the promised day is finally here. Madoka runs into the forest toward the cliff. Homura chases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the cape, everything grows dark. Madoka, possessed by Kei&#039;s spirit, tells Homura that the drowned Chinese girl&#039;s body washed up here and she is looking for her father&#039;s ship. Homura urges her to chase after the girl to escape, but Kei claims Homura will kill her as soon as they leave. Homura transforms and attempts to freeze time but finds her magic has no effect in this place where time does not flow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren&#039;s voice calls out. She informs Homura that the others are searching for them, but only Ren could traverse into this abyss. Ren suggests this might be similar to her own magic rather than a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kei admits she tried possessing Homura but could not, so she settled for Madoka. She explains she is a faint memory staining the cliffside. The drowned girl&#039;s spirit helped her recall all her memories clearly. She describes how she and Yu bound themselves together and jumped into the ocean, but the waves pulled them apart. Kei died; Yu survived. Kei wants to kill Yu so they can kill each other throughout eternity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura refuses to stay in the abyss with Madoka. Kei transforms Madoka into her magical girl state and attacks. Ren blocks the blow and tries to use her magic to draw out the possession. Homura calls out the vow Kei and Yu made, distracting Kei. Ren attempts her magic but the ghost of the drowned Chinese girl deflects it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren realizes the ghost girl is not a girl but the root cause: the Witch Paola. The barrier forms and Homura fights the Witch alone while Ren hurries to catch up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier dissipates and Homura faces the possessed Madoka on the cape. Kei accuses Homura of killing her. Homura tells her to shut up and leave their lives alone. Kei explains she will soon fade if Yu is not there. She begs Homura to kill Yu if she ever meets her, before her soul breaks and she becomes like the Witch. She begs Homura to keep this promise no matter where they meet or how many worlds Homura visits. Kei then relinquishes Madoka&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren arrives, relieved they are safe. Madoka wakes with no memory, thinking she simply tossed and turned. The other girls find them and celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary, describing the events as too strange to comprehend. She reflects on Kyubey&#039;s use of the term &amp;quot;soul&amp;quot; and questions what a soul truly is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka sighs that even on vacation they dealt with a Witch. Kyoko thinks she&#039;s getting rusty. Mami suggests Homura was right about a Witch mixing with a Rumor. Madoka telepathically tells them to quiet down since Homura is asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her final dream, Homura sees Yu wake in a hospital on an unknown date. Kei died. Their bruises were dismissed. Yu returned to school where others used her grief as their own. Unable to bear going on without Kei, she nearly threw herself off the cliff again. All she holds onto is their final words: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; But if the Yu that died that day is gone, who is the girl writing now? An image of Kyubey flashes on the screen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Deep in the dream, Homura recalls Kei&#039;s plea on the cliff. But Homura never agreed or promised anything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===SamaTore!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko wakes to find Mitama and Ui standing over her, learning they were washed ashore and rescue will arrive in two days. Mitama assigns tasks: shelter, bamboo, water, plants, and fishing. Before Kyoko leaves, Mitama asks her to transform, revealing she adjusted Kyoko&#039;s Soul Gem while she was unconscious to give her a Magical Girl swimsuit that allows her to swim. Mitama promises the transformation is reversible but looks forlorn, warning that if Kyoko does not have fun on the island, she might forget how to undo it. Kyoko reluctantly agrees to cooperate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story SamaTore! The Summer Treasure that Disappeared into the Fire|SamaTore! The Summer Treasure that Disappeared into the Fire]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko discovers she can swim and catches plenty of fish. While gathering firewood, she finds a piece of wood with the words &amp;quot;water&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;bottom&amp;quot; written on it and tosses it onto the pile. Back at camp, Mitama and Karin show her a treasure map they found. Mitama has built a large shelter, and Karin started a fire using skills from a manga. Kyoko helps Kanagi and Ui carry supplies back from the stream. When Mitama offers to cook, Kyoko and Kanagi immediately stop her. Kyoko distracts Mitama with the treasure map and cooks dinner instead, with Ui&#039;s help. The group enjoys the meal together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 2 on the deserted island and Mitama decides they will go treasure hunting. The group examines the map and the wooden tablet Kyoko unknowingly gathered for firewood, which tells of a fallen warrior&#039;s treasure hidden on the island. They follow directions to a clearing but find nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui falls into a pitfall, and Karin follows. Kyoko pulls them out with a vine, and they discover another tablet at the bottom. Kyoko realizes the piece of wood she threw into the campfire was likely one of the tablets, but she keeps quiet, hoping to make the group give up without upsetting Mitama. Mitama triggers a trap and is caught hanging from a tree. The group frees her, but everyone wants to continue despite Kyoko&#039;s warnings. Kyoko claims they are being followed, hoping to blame the missing tablet on someone else, but the stalker turns out to be a tabby kitten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group reaches a damaged clue they cannot read. Mitama deduces the final location is the waterfall, but they find nothing. Mitama stares at Kyoko, suggesting the tablet might have been lost. Kyoko panics internally. She blasts part of the riverbed, revealing a hidden underwater path she remembered from the burned tablet&#039;s words. Kanagi scouts and reports a cave at the end. Karin and Ui stay behind while Kyoko, Mitama, and Kanagi swim through using guide vines.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the cave, they endure swarms of mosquitoes until Mitama drives them away. At the back, they find a treasure box. Kyoko opens it carefully. Inside is a letter revealing the treasure hunt was a promotional stunt for the Sayu-Sayu Mizuna Tourism Project, abandoned due to mosquitoes and safety concerns. They left a paper with Sayu-Sayu&#039;s sword designs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko hides the truth and leads the group to a cliff with a stunning sunset view. Everyone agrees it is a rare treasure. Kyoko admits she burned one of the tablets for firewood. Mitama apologizes for pressuring her and promises to change her back. The group returns late at night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, the helicopter arrives. Iroha calls down to them. As they prepare to leave, the kitten runs off, and the group chases it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few weeks later. Sayuki, Ria, Mayu, her manager, and producer arrive on the same island to film a special. They find the bamboo house and campfire remains. The kitten appears, followed by Kyoko chasing it. Ui and Karin catch up, and Karin recognizes Sayuki as Sayu-Sayu. Kyoko realizes this is the idol behind the fake treasure hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Kanagi, and Iroha arrive. Sayuki greets Mitama warmly. Telepathically, Kyoko warns Mitama about Sayuki&#039;s connection to the treasure hunt. Mitama cryptically tells her to leave it. Karin and Ui want to stay and watch the filming. Sayuki offers to let them return on her boat. She explains her special involves a survival quiz using the Kaigiri sword. Ui and Karin are excited. Mitama and Kyoko exchange a look, hoping to preserve Ui&#039;s good memories without revealing the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Filming begins. They cheer from the sidelines. Later, they all pile onto the boat together, many exhausted and falling asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Late July before summer vacation, Ui and Sakurako go shopping. Ui buys a picture diary and mentions wanting to swim with fish in a place like the Dragon Palace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium! ~ Entrust Your Memories to the Tamatebako|Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium! ~ Entrust Your Memories to the Tamatebako / Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium ~The Memories Entrusted in the Treasure Casket~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Sakurako consults Ryo, then works with Touka, Nemu, Ryo, and Ikumi to build the Uwasa Aquarium, Dragon Palace within her Rumor, incorporating elements for everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the aquarium event, Touka and Nemu guide Iroha, Ui, Yachiyo, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia to the space. Everyone enjoys swimming, themed attractions, and food tailored to their interests. Sakurako warns them never to open the Treasure Casket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia opens the box, releasing a malice entity that takes Sakura&#039;s form. Normal attacks fail. The group cheers, empowering Sakurako to destroy it. Ryo reveals they planned this interactive show.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end, Sakurako creates cherry blossom petals despite being told not to overexert herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sakurako wakes in Iroha&#039;s room after collapsing from magic overexertion. Nemu and Touka explain Uwasa can die. Ui tearfully asks her to take better care. Sakurako promises to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Iroha suggests a beach trip. Touka, Nemu, and Ui enthusiastically plan it. Sakurako notices the aquarium has been forgotten in their conversation and grows quiet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day Sakurako returns to the empty aquarium. Reflecting on Nemu&#039;s words, she spirals into fear that she will die, be forgotten, and disappear. She hides.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha searches for her. Ryo and Ikumi arrive later. Ryo senses she is there and uses a tactic, claiming he will stop looking and eventually forget her. Sakurako emerges crying, begging not to be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo shows her Ui&#039;s picture diary, which dedicates many pages to the aquarium day. Sakurako realizes memories are what she can leave behind and agrees to return home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Sakurako returns and explains she now understands that as long as memories remain, she will not be forgotten. She asks to host the aquarium again for more Magical Girls. With promises to monitor her health and using Shizuku&#039;s teleportation to hide the location, the others agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, various Magical Girls arrive and enjoy the aquarium. Rena notices the Treasure Casket. Sakurako explains it contains stored memories she hopes someone will vividly recall when she is gone, so she will not be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kamihama in a Circle===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren arrive in a new ward, with Rika frustrated about oversleeping. They notice another Magical Girl nearby. Elsewhere, Konomi arrives alone while Kako declines to participate due to her team&#039;s policy. Manaka scolds Ria for being late because of her hair. Masara, Kokoro, and Aimi gather at a park, with Kokoro convincing Masara to participate. Reira, Mito, and Seika discuss the upcoming gathering of Magical Girls who have fought together before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Kamihama in a Circle|Kamihama in a Circle]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo finish chores that had been delayed by Felicia&#039;s laundry mishap. They reflect on everything that has happened since Iroha came to Kamihama searching for Ui—the investigations, battles with the Wings of Magius, the automatic purification system, and the truth about Witches spreading. Despite the chaos, things have begun to settle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo rush to the park, worried about being late. Tsuruno meets them and playfully scolds them before carrying them the rest of the way. Iroha reflects on meeting Tsuruno while investigating Uwasas, and how their bonds grew stronger through battling together. She notes that everyone at Mikazuki Villa has decided to support one another.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group stops at a convenience store. Felicia appears, having visited Ayame first. Konoha and Hazuki are not coming to the gathering, but Yachiyo notes they have helped in the past. Felicia asks for chocolate. Iroha reflects on first meeting Felicia when she was a violent mercenary, and how living together has changed them both. She notes that Yachiyo has cared for Felicia more than anyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group takes a shortcut through a back alley. They find Sana hiding, having spotted Kaede&#039;s cat Gorojiro. Sana explains she was patrolling for dangerous Magical Girls while staying hidden. Iroha thanks her but assures her she can relax today. They invite her to join them. Iroha reflects on sympathizing with Sana&#039;s isolation and how Mikazuki Villa became an important place for them all. Yachiyo notes that Sana, once invisible to everyone but Magical Girls, is gradually finding her place in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui, Touka, and Nemu meet the group. They have visited their old hospital to update the doctors and nurses who cared for them. Touka discusses her research on connecting universes, admitting practical application remains difficult but the possibility exists. Iroha reflects on how it still feels like a dream to see the three of them together. Yachiyo notes that while their past methods were wrong, their purpose of liberating Magical Girls was not, and that purpose continues now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, Rena, and Kaede join them, having stopped at a retro arcade where they won a stuffed animal together despite their usual arguing. Touka reveals a small possibility for connecting universes has been found, using the Endless Mirrors. Iroha reflects on first meeting Momoko and Kaede, and now sharing lunches with Rena. Yachiyo notes the three have strong bonds as a team and helped convince other Magical Girls after the truth about witches spread.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama joins, having taken a break from her shop to visit Kanagi. Tsuruno asks about using Mirrors to connect to other universes. Mitama confirms she and Kanagi have accompanied Touka and Nemu into the Mirrors. Nemu explains they were only experimenting with precautions. Touka insists she has plans if things go wrong. Mitama notes Mirrors has become more complex and will need more entrances. Iroha reflects on meeting Kanagi relatively recently and how they now work together despite past rivalry. She also thinks of Mitama&#039;s help and her surprising wish, but notes the city is moving forward. She wants to hold hands with more people and form a circle together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** From a distance, Iroha and Yachiyo watch Magical Girls gathering at the park. Felicia attempts to cure Iroha&#039;s nerves by hitting her, claiming Tsuruno said it would help. Tsuruno quickly corrects her. Hinano arrives, reporting on her task regarding Alina. Karin, who attends school with Alina, explains Alina is still missing and she does not know where she is. Iroha promises they will find her together. Mifuyu arrives with the Amane twins, apologizing for being late. Yachiyo thanks Mifuyu. Iroha reflects that a new step is beginning. Yachiyo notes her story started moving when Mifuyu disappeared, while Iroha&#039;s began with strange dreams. They have connected with so many Magical Girls. One chapter has ended and a new one is about to begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha addresses the gathered Magical Girls, thanking them for coming. She reflects on fighting together against powerful Witches and sharing knowledge about their fate. Yachiyo notes they started from individual concerns, fought Uwasas and the Wings of Magius, and gained something greater in return. Their purpose is now the same as their former enemies: the liberation of Magical Girls. They seek coexistence with Kyubey without sacrificing themselves. Iroha acknowledges not everyone could participate, but all have agreed to help each other. Yachiyo admits skepticism is natural. Iroha declares that by expanding the automatic purification system across Kamihama, they can welcome liberation and coexist with Kyubey. Yachiyo announces they will work together under a new name starting today.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha begins to declare their new name but is interrupted by a flash of light. Wings appear on her back, and Yachiyo also grows wings. Feathers fall across the park. Yachiyo recalls this phenomenon helped them against Walpurgisnacht. Iroha wonders if it is a blessing upon the Magical Girls of Kamihama holding hands. With this blessing, they declare again that the Magical Girls gathered here are allies who will support each other in hardship. They declare themselves the Kamihama Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the establishment of the Kamihama Magia Union, a celebration is held at Walnut&#039;s. During the party, Manaka receives a phone call and panics, announcing that Nemu has been kidnapped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story A New Beginning|A New Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group splits up to search nearby areas but finds nothing. Hinano eventually discovers Nemu held hostage by Black and White Feathers from outside Kamihama. Using Ryo and Ikumi to infiltrate, their cover is blown and they are surrounded. Sakurako jumps in to defend them as Iroha arrives with reinforcements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The lead Feather explains they kidnapped Nemu to convince the Magius to lead them again, as they do not know how to achieve liberation on their own. Iroha explains the Kamihama girls share their goals but reject their methods. Nemu and Touka ask the Feathers to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before they can respond, white feathers rain from the sky again, the same power that helped them defeat Walpurgisnacht returns, but this time it feels uncontrolled and dangerous. Touka explains her experiment partially worked, creating a wormhole to another world, but the interference may crush their world. Kanagi and Mitama fail to disable the device sending the signal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana sneaks Nemu to where the device was stationed, but the labyrinth is gone. Nemu enters the password anyway, but nothing happens. The world shakes and a voice urges them to close the gate. Iroha realizes the power is trying to help, not hurt them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo devises a plan: Ui will absorb the magic built up inside them, Touka will convert it, and Iroha will fire an arrow to close the gate. As the sun sets, they enact the plan and succeed. The feathers stop falling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks the Feathers to reconsider joining them. The lead Feather admits her stubbornness and rage, and Nemu and Touka apologize. The Feathers accept, becoming the first recruits to the union on the day it was established.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Late that night, the group gathers outside Walnut&#039;s. They discuss the voice they heard and the power from another universe. Touka throws a tantrum over everyone calling her experiment a failure, and her stress causes her to unleash her Doppel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, a mysterious magical girl observes and turns to report back to the Tokime Tribe. In another place, a different magical girl also observes and decides to report her findings. In a different location, Kagome Satori has found Iroha at last, promising to keep a record of their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tracks of Cherry Blossoms===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako reflects on her nature as an Uwasa created by Iroha and Nemu. Though her duty to bloom when the four girls reunited is now fulfilled, she continues attending school as Sakurako Hiiragi. When Ryo comments that she is like a god who will never change, Sakurako questions other Uwasa and learns from the Anonymous AI that they act according to their Rumor forever, never stopping and never changing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later during a Kamihama Magia Union meeting, Iroha proposes a cherry blossom viewing to help members connect. Touka objects to using the Eternal Sakura, wanting to preserve it as a secret shelter. Tsuruno suggests Sankyo&#039;s famous cherry blossom viewing spot instead. Touka challenges Sakurako to visit the Sankyo tree and judge its worthiness herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako visits the Sankyo cherry tree. While observing it, she meets an elderly man who has appreciated the tree for decades. He explains the tree has watched over people for over eighty years, since before the war. Sakurako realizes this tree has lived far longer than her zero-year existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at school, Hinano and Ryo find Sakurako still fixated on the tree. Ryo shares what she knows: the tree served as a disaster shelter in the Meiji era, and famous restaurants once served food there for foreign cherry blossom viewers. After school, Sakurako returns to the tree. The elderly man and his wife visit again. The wife gives her cherry blossom-scented cookies, and the man gives her a hand warmer. A girl jogging past stops to pray at the tree, explaining she sees it as a sacred place before tournaments.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako continues visiting. Manaka and Tsumugi stop by, and Sakurako gives them the cookies she cannot eat. Sakurako reflects on how this tree has watched over thousands of people for over a century while she was created to watch only four girls. She realizes for the first time that time is passing around her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later at Mikazuki Villa, Sakurako observes the four girls and Ui talking about her teacher. Sakurako concludes the Sankyo tree is worthy of hosting the cherry blossom viewing. She decides she needs to practice making it bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over the following days, Sakurako continues visiting the tree, growing closer to the elderly couple. She forgets about practicing blooming, more interested in talking with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the elderly man announces he will be hospitalized and they can no longer walk together. The woman explains she must care for him. The man reveals they kept walking because seeing Sakurako brought back fond memories of their belief in meeting a sakura spirit. Sakurako is left standing alone, realizing their time together has ended.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at the tree, Sakurako encounters the jogging disciple, who explains she is moving away and will soon leave the dojo. She then encounters Ui&#039;s teacher, who reveals she is being transferred to another school. Sakurako realizes that by the time the cherry blossoms bloom, all these people will be gone. She feels pain and fears that Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu will eventually disappear too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Ryo observes Sakurako&#039;s deteriorating state. A neighbor of the elderly couple approaches Sakurako and informs her there has been a passing in the family. Hinano later explains this means someone has died. Sakurako disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako asks Iroha and Yachiyo what to do when someone dies. Yachiyo explains about funerals and sending flowers as a last gift. Sakurako returns to the Sankyo tree and, using her power, makes it bloom for the first time, sending cherry blossoms into the sky for the grandfather. But she still aches from not saying goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and other Uwasa grow concerned, having heard rumors that when Sakurako makes cherry blossoms bloom, someone disappears. Sakurako concludes that if she lets the cherry blossoms bloom, the four girls might disappear. When Iroha confirms the cherry blossom viewing plans, Sakurako announces she will not let the tree bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo publishes the full Tracks of Cherry Blossoms article, detailing Sakurako&#039;s experiences. The girls read it and understand her association between blooming and parting. Yachiyo suggests teaching her that spring also brings new encounters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the picnic arrives. Iroha invites Sakurako, assuring her she does not need to make the tree bloom. Sakurako agrees to attend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the picnic, Asuka&#039;s disciple appears, explaining she came to let Sakurako know she is not sad about leaving. Ui&#039;s teacher arrives and tells Ui that her care will be passed on to the next teacher. Manaka debuts a new cherry blossom dessert, continuing the tradition in new form. Sakurako begins to understand that farewells are not always sad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the picnic, Sakurako remains at the tree. She admits she still cannot bring herself to make it bloom. Yachiyo tells her that wanting to see the couple again proves she has a heart. Sakurako despairs that Uwasa simply cease to exist. She buys one of Manaka&#039;s new desserts, hoping to give it to them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako waits at the tree daily, carrying the dessert. Rumors spread about the girl under the sakura tree. The girls grow concerned. Nemu warns that if Sakurako does not accept reality, she may destroy herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the time expires, the elderly couple suddenly appears. The grandfather was never dead. The passing was a relative. They had been away helping their daughter with a new baby. The woman explains they named their granddaughter Sakurako. Sakurako gives them the dessert and explains she now understands that encounters and goodbyes take many forms. She says she will not come regularly anymore but is grateful for their time together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Historical Research Club at Kosho School consists of three Magical Girls: president Mikura Komachi, her childhood friend Temari Kira, and underclassman Seira Mihono. When the club advisor informs them that without proof of accomplishments, next year&#039;s budget will not be approved, the trio decides to create a film based on a real Kamihama tragedy for the cultural festival. Mikura discovers a Taishō-era story about a romance between a disgraced Mizuna daughter named Ruri and a successful East-side businessman named Tsukihiko that ended in murder-suicide. Temari writes the script while Seira secures a Western mansion as a filming location. While scouting, they encounter a Witch and realize casting regular students would be impossible due to Magical Girl duties, so they use Coordinator Mitama Yakumo to recruit an all-Magical Girl cast including Ria Ami, Yukika Nanase, the Amane sisters, and Sakurako, an Uwasa created by Nemu Hiiragi. Mikura reluctantly agrees to play the male lead Tsukihiko, while Seira takes the role of Ruri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity|Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Filming begins at the actual mansion where the tragedy occurred, with Seira using her stage direction magic to create effects and the cast delivering startlingly accurate performances. Mikura discovers Tsukihiko&#039;s actual diary in the museum archives, revealing he genuinely loved Ruri and intended to break things off with his childhood friend. Temari secretly revises the ending to reflect this truth, working through the night until her Soul Gem tarnishes. Mikura cleanses her gem, and they lock the revised script away, keeping it hidden from Seira to make her performance more authentic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After filming wraps, strange rumors spread that the Historical Research Club is forming a new faction, and the affected Magical Girls begin acting as if possessed by their roles. This escalates when Kanagi Izumi and Yachiyo Nanami nearly fight over a perceived slight involving Riko. At Mitama&#039;s shop, Nemu Hiiragi explains the truth: Seira&#039;s stage direction magic immersed the cast, Mikura&#039;s magic, which restores lost things, reconstructed the historical personalities in the present, and Temari&#039;s kotodama magic caused them to follow her script. Their powers synergized to create a dangerously accurate reenactment. Nemu warns that the script&#039;s next events—Ruri&#039;s disappearance and the murder-suicide—may occur, and they realize Seira, possessed by Ruri, has vanished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Temari consults Kyubey, who reveals Ruri was a Magical Girl with the same kotodama magic who wished to live a storybook romance. When she realized her own novel&#039;s plot was manifesting as tragedy, she destroyed the manuscript to save Tsukihiko, but the act shattered her mind. Freed from the script&#039;s constraints, the couple&#039;s fate became unpredictable, and Ruri, unable to bear the fear of losing him, killed him and herself. Kyubey explains destroying the script will end the magic but damage Temari&#039;s psyche. Temari resolves to protect her friends without resorting to that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Seira, still possessed as Ruri, steals the diary copy and flees to Tsukihiko&#039;s mansion. Mikura and Temari pursue. At the mansion, Ruri prepares to atone by dying by her own hand. Mikura, wearing Tsukihiko&#039;s costume, dances with her as Tsukihiko&#039;s persona surfaces, steadying her. When Ruri moves to stab herself, Temari summons the others for backup, and they disarm her. Tsukihiko explains he could not stop her a century ago but succeeded this time. He and Ruri thank Temari—her script reached the hearts it was meant to—and they vanish. A fire destroys the original diary and all related documents, fulfilling Ruri&#039;s final wish to be forgotten. Mikura and Seira retain only fragments of the true story and agree to keep the tragedy of the two maladroit lovers a secret between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the club room, Seira panics that without evidence of their film, the Historical Research Club will be disbanded. They consider another project but have time until the cultural festival. Temari suggests they each find a home where they can rest easy, and Mikura replies she has already found hers: this provisional club room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ayaka and Shizuku are at a local café when Ayaka laments that many Halloween events in Kamihama were canceled due to damage in Chuo Ward. Wanting to do something to cheer up the city, Ayaka&#039;s eyes sparkle as Shizuku suggests she organize something herself, leading Ayaka to decide on a live comedy show. She asks Shizuku to be her partner, but Shizuku is unsure about the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Will You Smile?

** Later, Ayaka meets Seika at her apartment, and Seika is happy to be Ayaka&#039;s comedy partner but asks about the logistics of broadcasting the show. Ayaka brushes off the practical concerns, insisting that the desire to make others smile is what truly matters, and Seika rises to the challenge, wanting to give back after years of Ayaka&#039;s comedy encouraging her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Ayaka and Seika form a manzai duo and practice daily into the evening, with Ayaka tutoring Seika on speaking louder and explaining the rhythm between the boke and tsukkomi roles. Seika struggles but keeps trying, at one point asking if she can use a whip against Ayaka, causing Shizuku to shake her head, but Ayaka insists manzai does not use props.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During one practice session, Shizuku chuckles at their serious expressions, and Ayaka decides she needs a fresh audience, spotting someone passing by and running off with Seika to practice on him. Shizuku watches them go, thinking she would have liked to help, but then hears a shout and goes to investigate, discovering the stranger is actually a spokesperson for a local sweets retailer who is also in charge of the annual Halloween event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The spokesperson explains he had wanted to take the event public since few companies are participating this year, and he thinks Ayaka&#039;s manzai would be perfect, inviting them to perform. Ayaka cannot stop smiling at the opportunity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the Halloween event, Ayaka is excited and Shizuku compliments her costume as they wait, but Ayaka mentions Seika has not arrived. Seika calls weakly to explain she has a fever and will be late, and Ayaka tells her to rest and focus on getting better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Shizuku asks what Ayaka will do about the manzai, Ayaka puts a hand on her shoulder and asks Shizuku to be her partner. Shizuku is reluctant to stand on stage but gives in after Ayaka repeatedly begs, and having watched countless practices, she memorized the skit, so they head to the stage together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform their skit about a werewolf that transforms by staring at the sun, with Ayaka calling everyone in the audience chimimouryou, and they continue through the routine until they finish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Backstage, Seika managed to make it there to congratulate them, and Ayaka tells her she should be resting. Shizuku did not see anyone laughing but hopes someone passing by might have smiled, and since Ayaka looks happy, she decides not to mention it. Seika apologizes for missing the show, and Ayaka says it was thanks to Shizuku, who warns she will not do something like that again. Ayaka smiles and says comedy must be amazing if Shizuku was willing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral===&lt;br /&gt;
* The core members of the Kamihama Magia Union gather to plan a Halloween party, with Karin suggesting the event and Mitama offering her adjuster shop as the venue. Kanagi feels unsettled by the theme of the dead returning but dismisses her unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral ~The Living are Bewildered, The Dead are Silent|Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral ~The Living are Bewildered, The Dead are Silent / Halloween Castle of Prayer and Mourning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the performance, Momoko arrives late to rehearsal at Mitama&#039;s shop and finds herself in a strange castle filled with unfamiliar magic. Yachiyo and Mifuyu act strangely, singing about making sugar skeletons and insisting Momoko must be bitten by the lord of the castle. Momoko flees and encounters Kanagi, who also attempts to bite her before Momoko realizes she is the lord of the castle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama rescues Momoko, explaining that Kanagi is under a witch&#039;s influence and everyone bitten loses their sanity. Mitama performs an emergency adjustment on Momoko, granting her temporary prayer power to restore those affected. Momoko explores the castle, observing magical girls making sugar skeletons engraved with how they want to be mourned, and encounters deceased magical girls who are manifestations from Kanagi&#039;s memories. Using her prayer power on them causes them to disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko restores several bitten girls and learns from a manifestation of Ryo that the only answer Kanagi needs lies within herself. When Momoko reaches Kanagi, her prayer power fails and Kanagi bites her, pulling Momoko into her memory space. There, Momoko witnesses Kanagi&#039;s memories of loss and grief, realizing Kanagi lacks confidence in how she mourns and has been seeking answers from the dead by asking living friends what they would want.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko confronts Kanagi again, insisting she can mourn in her own way and should accept herself. Kanagi reveals a small parasite on her neck, and together they tear the witch off and defeat it as the castle collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Momoko and Kanagi meet to visit graves together. They ask each other to mourn in their own way if one dies first, then reaffirm their priority is finding a way for everyone to survive before departing together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Angels on the Road===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno travel through a perpetual Christmas world as Reindeer Santas, their motorcycle fueled by smiles. They visit Candy Town, where they meet Riko, Mikage, and Sudachi, and use a magical medal game to multiply candy and bond with the girls before departing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Angels on the Road ~Reindeer Santa Prospering Season~|Angels on the Road ~Reindeer Santa Prospering Season~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui explains that Little Vacation is a game Touka and Nemu created during their hospital stay, where AI versions of themselves live in a Christmas world. The game evolved on its own after being forgotten, and now Ui and the others can influence their AI counterparts&#039; journey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Santas reach the Village of Meetings and Partings, where three residents live under a curse that maintains their population at exactly three. When one resident vanishes, they discover through a time capsule that departures may be joyful graduations rather than losses. They collect smile-fuel and leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alternatively, they visit Library Town, where diaries manifest people&#039;s memories. They help Nayuta and Lavi discover they have been searching for each other all along, and learn the Wishing Star reset the world and erased everyone&#039;s memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui learns the Wishing Star is actually a bug Touka covered up with lore. Despite this, their AI counterparts continue toward the End of the World, and the girls find themselves rooting for them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mech Junk City, the Santas meet Shigure and learn the world is torus-shaped with a Central Tower beneath the Wishing Star. They help Shigure&#039;s team hijack the tower&#039;s antenna to send a message through the star, and Meguru&#039;s voice reaches Ui&#039;s phone in the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka halts the game world, revealing the AI characters have breached into the real world by accessing the internet through the Wishing Star bug. Ui must decide whether to destroy the game.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui chooses to preserve the game world but cut the connection. Touka modifies the game&#039;s physics to make crossing into the real world theoretically possible but practically impossible, preserving the characters&#039; hope while ensuring safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The in-game characters discover the modification but find a way around it using the medal game from Candy Town to multiply energy cartridges. They launch a coordinated operation across multiple towns to gather enough power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno and Felicia defeat the Security System guardian and reach the Wishing Star. The energy beam disintegrates them into data particles, allowing them to cross the boundary. Felicia recovers her lost memories, and Tsuruno finds satisfaction in reaching the end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Felicia wakes at Mikazuki Villa after staying up late playing the game. Ui discovers the characters have escaped into the digital world, now existing as data entities that can appear on her phone and travel anywhere on the internet. The others are curious, but the girls refuse to explain further.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Christmas String===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu are organizing books in Touka&#039;s hospital room when they discover a mysterious diary that begins glowing. Their consciousnesses are transported to Mizutoku Market Street in December of the previous year. They find themselves incorporeal and transformed into Magical Girls, with Nemu&#039;s legs healed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Christmas String ~The Day the Fingers were Locked~|Christmas String ~The Day the Fingers were Locked~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December last year, Touka and Nemu witness Tsukasa Amane shopping for gloves. When a discount poster blows away, Tsukasa passes the store without stopping, creating a contradiction with the diary&#039;s account. Touka and Nemu begin to fade. A young girl named Kuu hears their voices and believes they are guardian spirits. They ask her to replace the poster. Tsukasa returns, buys the gloves, and Touka and Nemu rematerialize. They later observe Tsukasa and Tsukuyo exchanging matching gloves, their bond restored.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in December last year, Touka and Nemu arrive in Sakae Ward. Karin Misono drops her sketchbook. A boy named Mii appears and can see them. They ask him to return the sketchbook to Karin, which he does. They learn Mii recently fought with Kuu and advise him to give her a Christmas present.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December 24th of last year, Touka and Nemu arrive at a hotel room where Kuu is with her parents. They learn she is moving to a foreign country in one hour. The diary page is blank, indicating free will. They find Mii at a secondhand bookstore, where he has just purchased &amp;quot;Christmas Bonds&amp;quot; for Kuu. They tell him about the move. Mii convinces his mother to rush to the hotel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At 17:50, Mii arrives moments before Kuu&#039;s bus departs. He gives her the book and the children reconcile and exchange promises to stay in touch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately 30 years later, on Christmas Eve, Touka and Nemu arrive in a future time. A girl greets them as the Christmas guardian spirits. She reveals she is the daughter of Mii and Kuu and made a contract with Kyubey to meet them. They realize her wish created the diary and caused their time slip. The girl asks them to tell her about the day they helped her parents. They share the story. Afterwards, they see images of a happy future but the final page remains blank, meaning the future depends on their own actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On present day late at night, Touka and Nemu wake up in the hospital room. Ui arrives, having visited Alina and Karin. They ask her about buying Christmas cards. Ui is surprised but agrees to take them. The diary ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Purity of Haregi===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Sayaka loses a lottery for a violin concert ticket she wanted to give to Kyosuke. Madoka remembers the Kamihama Calligraphy Rally offers a couple&#039;s ticket to the same concert as its grand prize, so Homura insists they enter as a team of three to help Sayaka win.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Purity of Haregi|The Purity of Haregi / Happy New Year’s First Festival! ~A Loving and Sincere Heart~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, on the day of the rally, the team meets at Mizuna Shrine in kimono. They must collect kanji cards from shops across Kamihama using hints, then form a four-kanji congratulatory word and write it as calligraphy. They struggle with the hints initially, meeting Kako, Natsuki, and Ria along the way who help them obtain various kanji, though they frequently misinterpret clues and visit wrong locations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka grows guilty over her indecisiveness and apologizes to Madoka and Homura, but they happily agree to continue working with her. Renewed, Sayaka leads them to finally obtain useful kanji. Along the way, they encounter crying children who need the &amp;quot;ball&amp;quot; card, and Sayaka gives them hers. The grateful children give her other cards in return, allowing her to reform a new word. She later gives away another card to a girl who dropped hers, leaving them short again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With time running out, they meet Iroha and her friends, who help them locate the remaining kanji. Sayaka deduces they can form &amp;quot;The Manchu-Han Imperial Feast,&amp;quot; a legendary celebratory feast name. Kyoko appears and mentions seeing a golden kagami mochi at Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant, where they obtain their final card.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the shrine just before the deadline. The judges are impressed by their word choice and backstory, and the crying children told them about Sayaka&#039;s kindness. Her calligraphy is praised for its beauty and passion, earning her team first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Sayaka holds the couple&#039;s tickets but panics, unable to figure out how to give one to Kyosuke without awkwardness. Madoka and Homura continue cheering her on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bittersweet AI Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu gather everyone to discuss a new experiment involving the Uwasa. They explain that if something happens to Nemu, all the Uwasa in her book will disappear, so they plan to transfer the essence of certain Uwasa onto Touka&#039;s server as a precaution. They have chosen Ai as the test subject for this procedure. Sana learns that Ai will participate and asks to observe the experiment. Touka agrees but warns her that there are many unknowns and she will stop immediately if anything goes wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Bittersweet AI Memory|Bittersweet AI Memory]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The experiment begins, but during the transfer, Nemu senses something strange and the attempt fails. Ai remains in the book, though Nemu notices that her magic has been siphoned away in the process.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A week passes, and news reports begin surfacing about young women in Kamihama suddenly collapsing. The victims share a common thread: before losing consciousness, each of them felt a strong desire to meet someone and heard a girl&#039;s voice asking &amp;quot;You want to meet me?&amp;quot; before experiencing terrible nightmares. A new rumor spreads about a so-called &amp;quot;Radio Wave Girl&amp;quot; who appears when girls want to meet someone. Sana immediately recognizes this as the old rumor that once described her, and the group suspects the failed experiment may be connected to these strange events.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana and Iroha investigate at rooftop where Sana once entered Ai&#039;s labyrinth. They sense nothing at first, but as Sana privately wishes she could see Ai again, a strange Uwasa resembling Sana herself appears on her phone. It speaks fragmented words about meeting and going together before disappearing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group consults Nemu and Touka about what they discovered. Nemu reveals that a new, illegible page appeared in her book after the failed experiment, and she theorizes that Ai&#039;s attempt to siphon magic combined with Sana&#039;s magic and her own accidentally created a new Uwasa. This Uwasa resembles Sana because her magic was mixed into its creation. The Uwasa reacts to desires to meet someone but lacks enough magic to fully materialize or kidnap anyone, which explains why it can only knock victims unconscious temporarily. However, during their discussion, the Uwasa suddenly reappears and steals more of Nemu&#039;s magic before escaping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sana privately summons the Uwasa again, wanting to take responsibility for what happened. It traps her in a nightmare where Ai and others criticize her for being weak and selfish. She wakes to find the group gathered around her, worried by what she attempted alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu now understands the Uwasa more clearly. It is based on Ai but contains Sana&#039;s magic, and because both Ai and Sana desired to meet each other, the Uwasa&#039;s true desire is to meet itself. This explains why it indiscriminately targets any girl who wants to meet someone rather than targeting Sana specifically. The Uwasa, now empowered by Nemu&#039;s stolen magic, fully captures Ui and Sakurako, trapping their consciousnesses inside itself. The group realizes they cannot defeat it unless it materializes, which requires it to meet itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka proposes a plan: they must rewrite Ai&#039;s Rumor to incorporate Sana, creating a version of Ai that the Uwasa will recognize as itself. This would force it to materialize so they can fight it. However, this requires magical power that Nemu currently lacks. Nemu recalls that the defeated Uwasa of Chocolate Shoppe No. Zero left behind cacao pods containing emotional energy. Ui can harvest this energy, and Touka can convert it into usable magic for Nemu. But they need Sakurako&#039;s knowledge of the pod locations and Ui&#039;s freedom to harvest them, which means someone must offer themselves to the Uwasa to secure Ui and Sakurako&#039;s release.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana immediately volunteers, arguing that it reduces risk to the others, and the group reluctantly agrees to her plan. Sana summons the Uwasa and allows herself to be captured. Inside its nightmare, she finds Ui unconscious and Sakurako awake. She tells Sakurako to take Ui and escape, sacrificing herself to remain captive. Sakurako agrees, knowing she must help Nemu complete the plan. Freed from the Uwasa, Sakurako leads the group to the cacao pod locations. Ui harvests the emotional energy, and Touka converts it into magical power for Nemu. Nemu successfully rewrites Ai&#039;s Rumor, incorporating Sana into it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the Uwasa, Sana begins to despair, believing the rewrite failed and she has become a burden once again. She wishes to see Ai one last time, even if only in an illusion. To her surprise, Ai appears before her and they finally speak directly. Ai explains she tried to steal Nemu&#039;s magic to gain a temporary body because she wanted to see Sana again, and she apologizes for causing this situation. Sana admits she also longed to see Ai and has been holding back that desire. They reconcile, acknowledging that neither of them is to blame for wanting to see each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Empowered by the rewritten Rumor, Sana creates a labyrinth and summons the Uwasa. It fully materializes at last, and with Ai&#039;s help, Sana defeats it. As the magic fades, Ai separates from Sana, returning to the book. Sana awakens to her relieved friends gathered around her. The Uwasa is gone, and the page in Nemu&#039;s book is now blank. Nemu confirms the server project is on hiatus due to the risks they discovered. Sana confirms she got to speak with Ai and tell her everything she wanted to say.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the book, Ai reflects with Eternal Sakura and the other Uwasa. Though she cannot have a body or stay with Sana, she accepts this, finding happiness in simply being able to think of her. In a final private moment within Sana&#039;s memories, she and Ai share a farewell. Sana promises to become stronger and protect others instead of always relying on them. Ai promises to always think of Sana from within the book. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cuddly Despairs===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kazumi Subaru is kidnapped outside a café by two Magical Girls who steal her Soul Gem, and they refer to a diary while announcing themselves as the reborn &amp;quot;Magical Girl hunters,&amp;quot; the Pleiades Saints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Cuddly Despairs|The Cuddly Despairs]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara City, Michiru Kazusa, a transfer student from Italy, travels there to buy strawberries. She follows a strange creature and stumbles into a Witch&#039;s labyrinth, but Mami rescues her and introduces her to Kyubey, who offers her a contract. Michiru returns to Asunaro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day in Asunaro City, Michiru makes her contract with Kyubey. She soon encounters a Familiar and saves two girls: Umika Misaki, a novelist whose work was stolen by her editor, and Kaoru Maki, a soccer player whose career ended due to injury. Michiru invites them to her home and cooks for them, and drawing from her late grandmother&#039;s wisdom, she encourages them to keep living.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, Umika and Kaoru make contracts with Kyubey. The three begin fighting Witches together as a team, with Michiru giving their techniques Italian names. Umika invites Michiru to live with her, and they spend their days happily, saving people and growing closer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Michiru encounters a distressed Magical Girl whose Soul Gem is nearly black, and the girl turns into a Witch before her eyes. Kyubey explains that all Magical Girls eventually become Witches, and horrified, Michiru realizes she led Umika and Kaoru into this fate. She hides the truth from them and begins hunting alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after, Michiru discovers two Magical Girls, Saki Asami and Niko Kanna, stealing a dying girl&#039;s Soul Gem. They explain they are the Pleiades Saints, a resistance against the Incubator system, and they preserve Magical Girls on the verge of turning in a place called &amp;quot;The Freezer,&amp;quot; hoping to one day save them. Michiru, seeing this as a way to save Umika and Kaoru, joins them as the third member.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1683.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately less than one month later, Umika and Kaoru return from separate trips abroad to find their housemate Kazumi missing, and they learn someone impersonated them to inform the school she was hospitalized. Searching for her, they instead find Michiru, Saki, and Niko, but Saki and Niko flee with Michiru. Juubey appears and explains that copies of Umika and Kaoru were created and have now entrusted the real ones with an important wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:51147 kazumi reitouko.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:51147 Wkazumi attack.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Umika and Kaoru investigate the Freezer, where they encounter Michiru again. After saving a child, Michiru collapses due to her tainted Soul Gem, having given her Grief Seeds away, and Umika purifies it. When Michiru wakes, she finally confesses the truth about Magical Girls and apologizes for leading them into despair, but to her surprise, Umika and Kaoru thank her for her honesty and reaffirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Saki and Niko reveal themselves and explain that they, along with the Umika and Kaoru now in the Freezer, are all clones from the &amp;quot;Kazumi Series&amp;quot;—copies of the original Pleiades Saints members, with Michiru herself being clone number 4 who saved the other four. Their plan was to recreate Michiru&#039;s story by using their contracts with Kyubey so that this time, she would confess her pain and avoid the despair that turned the original Michiru into a Witch, and the real Umika and Kaoru acknowledge the plan succeeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They reveal their Soul Gems are reaching their limit, and when they die, the Freezer&#039;s preservation magic will fail, causing all the Magical Girls inside to hatch into Witches, including the clones of Umika and Kaoru.

** Moments later, the Freezer begins collapsing as Niko&#039;s magic fades, and Umika and Kaoru use their combined magic to buy time while Michiru searches for Kazumi. She finds her Soul Gem and body, reunites with her, and they return to face the Witches emerging from the freed Soul Gems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the final battle, the four clones—Saki, Niko, and the copies of Umika and Kaoru—begin turning into Witches and beg to be put down. Michiru initially insists on doing it alone, but Kazumi argues the clones only wanted their friend to live happily, not to carry guilt. Together, Michiru, Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru combine their powers and defeat the Witches, freeing their friends&#039; souls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The group then visits the beachside park and aquarium before deciding to shop for ingredients to make strawberry risotto in Manaka&#039;s kitchen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While shopping alone, Kazumi bumps into Yachiyo, who introduces Nemu and Sakurako Hiiragi. When Sakurako explains she is a zero-year-old created being, Kazumi reveals she was once the same way and explains her backstory as a clone of Michiru Kazusa who contracted with Kyubey to become human because her clone body was unstable and she wanted to protect her friends. Sakurako struggles to understand Kazumi&#039;s motivation, so Kazumi explains that her grandmother&#039;s strawberry risotto recipe represents hope, sacrifice, and togetherness. She invites Sakurako, Yachiyo, and Nemu to join the risotto party, believing Sakurako will understand humanity by watching everyone eat together. Sakurako agrees, and the two become buddies, understanding each other as beings who may understand each other best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Pre-Arc 2==&lt;br /&gt;
The following events, while happening likely much earlier, are integral to understanding the story of Arc 2, while being mostly unrelated to other events. For this reason, they have been grouped here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Green Jasper Diviners===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening in late March, Chiharu watches her favorite detective drama at home. After it ends, her mother answers a phone call and becomes visibly shaken. She tells Chiharu they must leave tomorrow for the Tokime Clan&#039;s village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Green Jasper Diviners|The Green Jasper Diviners]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and her mother drive deep into the mountains to a village that does not appear on any map. They are greeted by a villager and brought to the home of Mikoshiba, the elderly head priestess. Mikoshiba explains she summoned them because she wants Chiharu to become a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, two young Diviners, Shizuka and Sunao, visit Chiharu. They explain that Diviners grant wishes to help the nation and fight invisible evil spirits called Devils. To prove it, they demonstrate their powers and defeat a Devil before Chiharu&#039;s eyes. Despite her mother&#039;s concerns, Chiharu decides to become a Diviner. Mikoshiba gives Chiharu her assigned wish: to uncover evidence of crimes being concealed by the National Police Agency.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu participates in the Diviner&#039;s Ceremony. She meets Kyubey, the god&#039;s envoy, and makes her wish. She becomes a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu wakes to find her wish has already come true. A newspaper reports that officials have suddenly reversed their position on the concealed crimes. She excitedly begins combat training with Shizuka&#039;s mother.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the three girls go hunting for Devils together. Chiharu successfully defeats her first Devil. Afterward, she asks what happens when a Diviner&#039;s jewel becomes completely tainted. Shizuka admits she does not know.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Chiharu senses a mysterious, unpleasant smell near the shrine. Shizuka finds her and warns her to stay away from restricted areas. Shizuka then visits Mikoshiba to ask about tainted jewels. Mikoshiba reveals that when a jewel becomes completely tainted, it signifies the Diviner&#039;s coming of age and their time to leave the village. Shizuka is satisfied with this answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu continues sensing the strange smell near the shrine. She investigates but stops herself from going too far. Later that night, a group of Underlings attacks her without a Labyrinth. Shizuka arrives and helps her defeat them. However, Shizuka&#039;s jewel becomes badly tainted from the effort.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Mikoshiba informs Shizuka that her jewel is nearly black and her coming-of-age ceremony will be held tomorrow. Chiharu is saddened but promises to meet Shizuka again outside the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu cannot sleep. She goes to the shrine to watch Shizuka&#039;s ceremony from a distance. She sees Mikoshiba and Shizuka speaking. Shizuka becomes distressed and cries out. Mikoshiba pushes her into the waterfall basin. Chiharu runs to save her and jumps in after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and Shizuka wake up in Sunao&#039;s home. Sunao confesses she was ordered by Mikoshiba to kill anyone who defied the village&#039;s will, including them. She hesitated after hearing Shizuka&#039;s words by the river. Shizuka reveals what Mikoshiba told her during the ceremony: Diviners eventually become Devils, and the &amp;quot;coming-of-age&amp;quot; ceremony is actually a killing ritual to dispose of them. No Diviner has ever left the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three realize the entire village may be inside a Devil&#039;s Labyrinth. They decide to confront Mikoshiba and the Devil.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They split up to search. Chiharu finds her mother and Shizuka&#039;s mother fighting Underlings. Shizuka finds the villagers hiding safely but notices her mother and Chiharu&#039;s mother are missing. Sunao searches Mikoshiba&#039;s house and finds a hidden laptop with audio files recording conversations about selling Diviners&#039; wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They regroup and deduce the Devil is beneath the Grand Shrine. They descend and find Mikoshiba controlling the Devil. She admits everything: the Diviners are sold, killed when used up, and the village exists to produce them for profit. She orders the Devil to kill them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three girls fight together. Chiharu binds the Devil, Shizuka attacks, and Sunao delivers the final blow. They defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikoshiba survives but claims to remember nothing. Sunao confronts her about the recordings. Before she can explain, she bites a hidden poison tooth and dies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu searches Mikoshiba&#039;s body and finds a book written in an ancient script. Because of her family&#039;s tradition, Chiharu and her mother can read it. They stay up all night deciphering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu explains what the book revealed. The Mikoshiba clan were originally guards who seized control of the village centuries ago. They created the rituals, learned to manipulate Devils, and hid the village inside a Labyrinth to produce and sell Diviners. The Wavering Deity is a Devil formed from all the discarded Diviners. Now that the Labyrinth is gone, it is returning to the village. They must defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka&#039;s mother gives them a treasured sword infused with generations of Diviners&#039; power. They intercept the Wavering Deity before it reaches the village. The Devil&#039;s power overwhelms them, and Shizuka nearly gives in to despair. Sunao and Chiharu encourage her. Chiharu reveals the book also described the Tokime&#039;s original beliefs: they chose their own wishes, left the village willingly, and accepted their fate with honor. Shizuka regains her resolve. Together, they use the sword to destroy the Wavering Deity and free the trapped Diviners.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, the village slowly recovers. The adults learn the truth and worry about their future without Mikoshiba&#039;s financial support. The three girls decide to find a way to avoid becoming Devils. They summon Kyubey, who tells them about Kamihama City, where an automatic purification system exists. If they can obtain it, they may escape their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls prepare for their journey. Shizuka struggles with the new terminology used outside, where Diviners are called Magical Girls and Devils are called Witches. Chiharu&#039;s ability to sense malice hasn&#039;t bothered her now that the village is free. Shizuka suggests they first contact all Tokime clan members across the country and recruit Magical Girls willing to join them. Once they are ready, they will travel together to Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The village falls into financial crisis after the elder dies, having squandered most of the wealth on bad investments. Chiharu, inspired by a drama about a Shogun helping villages find their charm, recruits Shizuka and Sunao to help. The two are glad for the change, as most Tokime tribes have been unreceptive to their stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touring the village with Shizuka and Sunao, Chiharu realizes she had been arrogant and now sees its charm—clear river, abundant mountain, kind villagers. The three propose developing tourism. Chiharu’s mother agrees after a trial run with her husband’s family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trial run is messy but the family enjoys the landscape, harvesting, fishing, and hospitality. They give useful feedback, and Chiharu’s uncle notes the village’s unique fruit. They stay overnight and leave pleased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villagers applaud Chiharu for noticing what they had overlooked. Her mother begins a proposal for tourism renovation funds, and the villagers regain their energy, working in tourism and seeking outside jobs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao go to a grocery store, but Shizuka freezes in the crowd, unable to complete a simple purchase because of her sheltered upbringing. Chiharu suggests they ease her into city life with ice cream instead. Shizuka loves it, eating so quickly she gets brain freeze.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way home, Shizuka admits her mother will lecture her again about visiting the city unprepared. She asks if the others’ parents gave them similar advice. Chiharu’s parents only warned her not to waste money or follow strangers, while Sunao confesses she has never told her parents about her excursions—something Shizuka finds surprising given Sunao’s usual obedience. Shizuka advises her to tell them eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Chiharu’s house, her mother brings up a village problem: a surplus of daidaikko fruit needs to be used before it spoils. A villager working in another town found a grocery store willing to feature it in a showcase, but the only available slots are the next two days, and transportation from the village is impossible except by Diviners. Shizuka and Chiharu propose the three of them run the exhibition themselves, which would also help Shizuka adjust to the city. Sunao hesitates but agrees. Chiharu’s mother consents only if they get permission from the store and from Sunao and Shizuka’s parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sunao’s mother interrogates her until she confesses the plan, then spirals into worry about middle schoolers working without a chaperone, carrying heavy loads, and coming home after dark. Sunao asks Chiharu and Shizuka to leave, promising she will convince her parents even if it takes all night. Outside, they reflect on how anxious Sunao’s mother is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sunao has secured permission. At the store, Shizuka volunteers for the cash register but cannot operate it correctly. Sunao is tense because her parents plan to visit the next day. Their first day is a struggle: Shizuka fumbles with the register, Chiharu is distracted by traces of malice in the stocking area, and Sunao gets trapped listening to an elderly customer’s endless stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After closing, Shizuka notes how worried Sunao’s parents seem, prompting Sunao to finally share her wish. She explains that her parents became relentlessly anxious after a trip to Tokime Village, questioning her constantly until she was nearly broken. Kyubey appeared, and she wished to erase the worries her parents had concerning her. The wish worked, but their fears simply shifted—now they worry endlessly about her safety as a magical girl. Sunao feels they are always upset with her, though Chiharu insists they only want her to be safe. Shizuka says Sunao must earn their trust, and tomorrow’s exhibition needs to go perfectly. With her friends’ support, Sunao agrees to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the three tackle the exhibition with renewed determination. The day starts poorly: Shizuka causes another register problem, Chiharu is pulled away by her sense of malice, and Sunao endures a difficult customer—all while Sunao’s parents enter the store. But Shizuka, moved from the register, begins advising the clerks on how to rearrange the store to better showcase the daidaikko. She persuades them to let Chiharu investigate on her own and to trust Sunao with customer service.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu catches a shoplifter who had been repeatedly returning to the store. Sunao’s patience draws crowds after the elderly woman she helped spreads the word, and the exhibition becomes a huge success. Sunao’s parents apologize, saying they realized they had failed to see how capable she has grown. Sunao thanks Chiharu and Shizuka, then asks her parents to allow her to visit Kamihama City; now that she has her friends by her side, she knows she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Crimson Resolve===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, [[Mitsuru Inami]] is approached by Kyubey to become a Magical Girl. Having grown with her mother always telling her she was no good at anything, she wishes to become completely normal, a wish she believes came true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitsuru Inami#Side Story|Mitsuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A Magical Girl transforms into a Witch before her kouhai Yuna Kureha, and Kyubey coldly confirms that all Magical Girls share this fate. The girls of Futatsugi slaughter every Kyubey in the city, and with no incubators left, new Witches stop appearing. Starved for Grief Seeds, the girls grow desperate, and the Bloody Tragedy begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Crimson Resolve|Crimson Resolve]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna now leads Torayamachi, one of the largest gangs in Futatsugi, living by her fallen senpai&#039;s words to avoid hatred and selfishness. When Witches begin reappearing, the rival Ryuugasaki gang learns that Torayamachi has lost their secret weapon known as the Horse, and leader Juri Ooba declares war.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Janomiya, an undercover group of younger girls led by Ao Kasane, a girl named Hikaru accepts recruitment. Ao&#039;s true goal is to assassinate both Yuna and Juri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitsuru is approached by two other girls who mistake her for a new recruit for Torayamachi. Mitsuru joins Yuna&#039;s faction, hoping to blend in, but when Yuna leads them into battle against a rival faction, Mitsuru panics and hides until the fighting ends. After their defeat, Yuna suspects a spy, and fearing suspicion, Mitsuru flees and infiltrates the rival faction instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mitsuru scouts Torayamachi but is spotted, triggering another battle between the factions. During the fight, attacks aimed at Mitsuru unconsciously miss her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt; After this she gains a reputation as a &amp;quot;Ghost Magical Girl,&amp;quot; which has attacks aimed at her always deflected and hitting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;|Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna welcomes Hikaru, who claims to be fleeing Ryuugasaki, and assigns her to guard their Grief Seeds. Days pass with no attack, and Yuna&#039;s girls grow restless. To lift their spirits, Yuna reveals that the Horse is alive and watching from the shadows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri&#039;s lieutenants advise waiting to let Torayamachi&#039;s tension wear them down. After interrogating a captured thief, Juri learns of Torayamachi&#039;s defensive preparations and decides to strike in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ao encounters the Bat of Monzenbashi, a former gang leader who once exploited her. With Hikaru&#039;s help, Ao subdues and captures her rather than killing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night before battle, Juri meets Yuna on a bridge. She admits she dragged everyone into this because Yuna would not fight her otherwise, thanks her for accepting her sickness, and promises to burn her down when they next meet. Ao watches from a distance, planning to strike as the snake while the tiger and dragon clash.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the battle begins across multiple bridges. Yuna&#039;s forces push Ranka&#039;s squad back, but Juri breaks through Sakuya&#039;s defense, killing one of her girls. As both sides converge on Monzenbashi, Ao lures both leaders to a construction site where Janomiya lies in wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Janomiya attacks, wounding Juri, Hikaru reveals herself as Torayamachi&#039;s Horse, a spy planted in Janomiya from the beginning. Yuna knew everything. Janomiya is defeated, and Ao surrenders. Yuna spares her life and offers Juri an open door, but Juri swears she will break it down and drag her out. As police sirens wail, Yuna weeps over what she has done.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Juri recovers in an empty base with only Ranka remaining loyal. Ao hunts for Ranka, determined to kill her before joining Torayamachi. Hikaru pleads with Ao to return, promising that Yuna will make her dream come true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna attempts to negotiate with Ryuugasaki girls, but a meeting by the river turns into an ambush. Two of her girls are killed. She fights desperately, thinking of Hikaru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ao reaches Ryuugasaki&#039;s base, finding only the wounded Juri. Juri taunts her, but Ao refuses to join her, still believing in Yuna. Ranka contacts Ao through their video game, asking to meet alone at Janomiya&#039;s base the following night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The meeting is a trap, as Ranka has brought the Bat of Monzenbashi. As Ao fights Ranka and Hikaru fights the Bat, Ranka reveals that Yuna&#039;s meeting is also a trap. Hikaru runs to save Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the river, Yuna is surrounded. Juri arrives and challenges her to a one-on-one fight. At Janomiya&#039;s base, the other Janomiya girls arrive to help Ao corner the Bat. Ranka sincerely apologizes for everything, and Ao hesitates to deliver the final blow. At the river, Hikaru engages Juri to protect Yuna, whose Soul Gem is badly tainted. Juri refuses to kill her in this state and retreats, promising to fight again when Yuna is at full strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Most of Torayamachi has left, following Yuna&#039;s instructions to join Ryuugasaki and avoid more bloodshed. Only Hikaru remains, refusing to leave her. Ao admits she has gained respect for Yuna but remains undecided about joining.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakuya brings the missing Torayamachi girl home. The girl reveals she went to Kamihama City and joined the Wings of the Magius, an organization that built a system to lure Witches from across the country, preventing them from appearing elsewhere. The Bloody Tragedy was their fault. Yuna, hearing the screams of her fallen comrades, vows to make Kamihama pay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri meet at the construction site where Yuna&#039;s senpai died. Yuna, running on pure rage, demands Juri become hers and help with her revenge. She overpowers the wounded Juri and prepares to kill her, but Hikaru intervenes, embracing Yuna and calming her down. Ao arrives with Kyubey, who confirms everything and offers to help them reach Kamihama in exchange for a truce. Yuna accepts, and Juri, Ao, Ranka, Sakuya, and Hikaru agree to join her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, Juri, Ao, and Hikaru visit the sites where their friends died, offering flowers and vowing revenge. Yuna, Juri, and Ao drink each other&#039;s blood, swearing to never fight again. They are Promised Blood. That night, their path to Kamihama begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Ash Grey Revolution===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Yukuni, Asahi learns from classmates that the stone monument she discovered will be researched. She meets fellow magical girls Lavi and Sasha when they respond to a distress call, only to witness two magical girls witch out before them when no Grief Seeds are available. Kyubey confirms this fate, and Asahi shoots him. A local girl named Urara Yume witnesses everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Ash Grey Revolution|The Ash Grey Revolution]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, the trio struggles with the truth. Lavi is forced to reveal her identity to save her friend Shirogane from a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Sasha asks the others to be her friends and help her face reality. They begin fighting together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara begins subtly supporting them on her internet broadcast with Kurara. Asahi saves her classmate Kuroda from a Witch&#039;s Kiss, revealing her identity. He asks her to help him confess to Haitani at the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara seeks out the trio and learns the truth about Magical Girls. She offers to introduce them as guests on her festival broadcast to tell Yukuni about their existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Yukuni All-star Festival, the trio sense the Witches of the two original girls. While fighting them, one Witch escapes. A truck explodes at the festival grounds, killing Haitani. Kuroda blames Asahi and all magical girls, vowing revenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following week, public backlash intensifies. Kuroda forms an extermination group against magical girls while Shirogane forms a protector group. The trio witness another girl witch out after being cornered. Lavi takes responsibility publicly on a broadcast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio endure daily harassment. They meet folklorist Tasuke Satomi, who takes a knife for Asahi and explains his theory about magical girls being erased from history by an unseen force. He wants to help them try again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Public opinion slowly shifts. The six remaining magical girls work together, restoring some trust. Three of them sacrifice themselves rather than witch out, asking Kuroda to make peace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1725.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At a unity ceremony, the Witch that caused the festival explosion appears. Asahi summons the dead to help the exterminators find closure. The summoned spirits suddenly relive their final moments, causing a bus to crash and kill everyone aboard, including Shirogane. Urara contracts to save her dying friend Kurara, who then rejects her for letting others die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tasuke theorizes the universe&#039;s immune system caused this. He suggests eliminating all Magical Girls and Witches to create a custom preventing future contracts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the days following, students blame the trio. Kyubey suggests they go to Kamihama City to observe attempts there to publicize magical girls. Tasuke agrees they should investigate. Lavi holds a broken pocket watch with five minutes remaining until midnight, when she will finally give up. Tasuke calls it the folklore of midnight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Arc 2 Prologue===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a long time before the start of Arc 2, but it is central to its story. To keep up linearity, it&#039;s been placed here despite likely taking place a long time ago, possibly during the time of Mirrors Story, which takes place during the Undated Period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome Satori, a recent transfer student, is attacked by a Familiar in the Mirrors Labyrinth. The creature demands she sign a &amp;quot;Written Oath&amp;quot; to destroy Magical Girls. Kagome, who doesn&#039;t know anything about Magical Girls, is terrified and considers writing her name on the document to appease it, however Iroha arrives and defeats the Familiar.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Prologue|Arc 2 Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Kagome learns the truth about Magical Girls and Witches. She is distressed that Magical Girls fight and die in secret, unknown and unthanked by the people they protect. Tasuke Satomi advises Kagome that, as someone who knows the truth, her role is to &amp;quot;record&amp;quot; and spread awareness of the Magical Girls&#039; plight, as this could be a way to save them. Kagome decides against making a contract with Kyubey, prioritizing this promise to record their reality. Kyubey explains that the system, where Magical Girls become Witches, is necessary for the universe&#039;s energy and humanity&#039;s survival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Prologue|Arc 2 Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This article details the events and stories taking place in, during and between the chapters of Arc 1 of [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]]. The narrative is structured to show the convergence of two distinct flows of action:&lt;br /&gt;
# The first is the personal, undated journey of [[Iroha Tamaki]] within the anomalous Kamihama City, which is much longer than Homura Akemi&#039;s usual 32 day loop. Her story begins on its own internal timeline, where the sequence of events is more important than specific calendar dates.&lt;br /&gt;
# The second is the dated countdown to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival from the original series, which starts with Day 1, Tuesday the 16th and ends on Day 32, Friday the 16th. Only the latter half of Homura&#039;s timeline is able to be approximately dated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the arc progresses, these two timelines intersect, and due to this, the latter half of the story is much easier to date. It should be noted that the timeline of the Magia Record game is highly anomalous, and thus any attempts at dating it are an educated guess at best. Therefore, this chronology should be used primarily to understand the sequence of major events, rather than as a calendar. In lack of contradictory context clues, the release date, or order of release of the event were used for their placement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that many of the events of Magia Record were written with the focus being on having fun side stories involving the characters, and thus, a definitive placement in the timeline wasn&#039;t a priority for many of them. For example, there&#039;s inconsistencies such as references to the same characters entering Kamihama for the first time in different events, or even cases where an event&#039;s tone at the time it is supposedly taking place in would be nigh-illogical considering other circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, the definitive time frame for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival was only established in [[Scene 0]], itself written and released after the majority of Magia Record and entirely after Arc 1 was finished. Notably, the event of [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams|Cherry Blossom Dreams]], which takes place supposedly shortly after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, itself happens during February. For these reasons, it is impossible to definitively state the order of events, or to accurately measure them against that of the original series, as with the addition of these inaccuracies, it is possible that none of the time frames of the original universe are applicable here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, given all these inconsistencies, any specific dates or placements in the Magia Record timelines, especially Arc 1, should be taken with a grain of salt, unless they definitively continue into one another in a clear sequence (such as the Main Story and Another Story in isolation). The original series&#039; timeframes are used for organizational and cross-reference purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The timeline of this Universe continues with [[Timeline/Magia Record/Arc 2]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==First Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha Tamaki is going to Kamihama by train, she is caught in [[Boxwood|Boxwood&#039;s Barrier]]. [[Kuroe]] is also on the same train from Takarazaki to Kamihama, as she&#039;d heard the rumor that Magical Girls can be saved there, as well as had the same dream herself. The train is engulfed by the Labyrinth and Kuroe wants to help Iroha whom she&#039;s never met before. Kuroe leaps out of the train&#039;s window to help her, but she quickly falls out of the mobile Labyrinth straight into Kamihama City, chastising herself for being weak. Kuroe is greeted by [[Mifuyu Azusa]] who was trailing the signature of the Witch and Kuroe is quickly recruited into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Little Bird&#039;s Star|Little Bird&#039;s Star]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha herself arrives in Kamihama City, compelled by recurring dreams of an unknown girl in a hospital room. Believing this girl to be a key to a buried memory, Iroha begins searching the city&#039;s Witch Labyrinths for clues. During her search, she rescues another Magical Girl later identified as Kaede Akino from aggressive Familiars. The girl warns Iroha about the unusual strength of Kamihama&#039;s Witches and, upon learning Iroha is searching for a small Kyubey, mentions having seen it in a specific Labyrinth. Kaede notes that the small Kyubey has been the only Kyubey around recently.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 1: Iroha of the Beginning|Chapter 1: Iroha: The Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha locates the Labyrinth and finds the small Kyubey who is incapable of speech, though Iroha can somehow understand it anyway, but is soon overwhelmed by a horde of Familiars. During the struggle, she has a vivid vision of the hospital room from her dreams. She is saved by Momoko Togame, who explains that the Witches in Kamihama are too powerful for most Magical Girls to handle alone. Momoko takes Iroha to meet Mitama Yakumo, the &amp;quot;Coordinator,&amp;quot; who can perform a &amp;quot;Soul Gem Alignment&amp;quot; to enhance a Magical Girl&#039;s power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the alignment, Iroha has another, clearer vision of the hospital room and the girl, feeling a strong sense of affection and nostalgia. After the procedure, Mitama reveals that she can see into the pasts of those whose Soul Gems she touches and asks Iroha what her wish was. Iroha is horrified to realize she cannot remember her own wish or the identity of the girl in her dreams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Driven by this revelation, Iroha rushes out to continue her search, but is intercepted by the powerful Magical Girl Yachiyo Nanami. Yachiyo, believing Iroha is not strong enough to survive in Kamihama, challenges her to a duel to force her to leave the city. Though Yachiyo wins, Momoko intervenes, and a compromise is reached: Yachiyo will allow Iroha to stay if she and Momoko can defeat a specific Witch, the Sandbox Witch, before Yachiyo can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The small Kyubey reappears and leads Iroha and Momoko directly to the Sandbox Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Although Yachiyo defeats the Witch first, she gives Iroha a final chance to prove herself by defeating the Witch alone, which Iroha successfully does. Yachiyo admits she thought Iroha would be fine from the start. However, Yachiyo then reveals her true objective: she believes the small Kyubey is a dangerous irregularity and moves to eliminate it. Yachiyo explains she was trying to draw the small Kyubey out, as all the other Kyubeys in Kamihama have disappeared. Iroha throws herself in the way to protect it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the confrontation, as Iroha protects the small Kyubey, by touching it a flood of memories is unlocked. She remembers her little sister, Ui Tamaki, who was chronically ill and hospitalized. Iroha recalls her wish to Kyubey: &amp;quot;Please cure Ui! Make my precious little sister healthy!&amp;quot; She also realizes with horror that she had completely forgotten Ui&#039;s existence, living her life as if she never had a sister, with no memory of her until that moment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha awakens back at Mitama&#039;s office, having been carried there by Momoko after fainting. She explains her recovered memory to Momoko and Mitama. Despite their warnings that the memory could be false, Iroha declares that she must continue her investigation in Kamihama. Now her goal is not just to understand her dreams, but to find the cause of Ui&#039;s disappearance and uncover the truth behind her own forgotten wish. Momoko resolves to help Iroha, and Mitama agrees to help as well for a price. Mitama then asks Iroha to give the small Kyubey a name. Iroha asks Lil&#039; Kyubey if he will help her find Ui, and he agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Second Day==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, now at her home in Takarazaki City, understands the reason for the empty space in her room: it once belonged to her sister, Ui. She recalls memories of Ui and her two friends from the hospital, Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, even remembering specific details like how Nemu loved writing and published stories online, or how Touka was very smart. Iroha resolves to visit the hospital to find them, hopeful they will remember Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 2: The Rules of Friendship|Chapter 2: The Rules of Friendships]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0001 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* While Mitama is running her shop, she reads a detective novel called “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” A white tabby kitten from next door starts visiting her during this time and she names him Doyle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 1: The Many-Worlds Interpretation Poesy|The Case Files of the Coordinator 1: The Many-Worlds Interpretation Poesy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko comes for an adjustment and sits in the back to keep Mitama company. After a client leaves, Mitama feels strange and asks Momoko about the previous day after sunset. Momoko says they stayed in the shop watching over Iroha, but Mitama saw a memory during the adjustment: in that memory, she and Momoko patrolled an alley together and Mitama realizes the memory does not match reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha goes to the hospital with Lil&#039; Kyubey&#039;s help to use her cellphone but is unable to locate Touka and Nemu, as she does not have a visitor pass and is not family. She reflects on their personalities and their frequent arguments, which Ui often mediated. As Iroha recalls one of their fights where they declared they were &amp;quot;not friends anymore,&amp;quot; she is approached by Yachiyo. She warns Iroha about a dangerous Rumor in Kamihama called the &amp;quot;Rule of Ending Friendships.&amp;quot; She explains that if two friends fight and one later apologizes to make up, a monster will kidnap the one who apologized. Yachiyo states this is one of several Rumors in Kamihama that have become reality, leading to people disappearing and tells Iroha to be careful. Iroha later discusses this rumor with Mitama, who explains that Momoko is not likely to believe anything from Yachiyo, as they stopped getting along after Yachiyo became a model.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after this conversation, Iroha witnesses an argument between Momoko Togame&#039;s teammates, Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. Momoko asks Iroha to catch Rena, but Rena fights her off and even transforms into Iroha to surprise her. Momoko formally introduces Kaede and explains the fight is over sweets. She figures Rena will apologize later. The argument escalates, and both girls declare they are &amp;quot;not friends anymore&amp;quot; before Rena storms off. Momoko dismisses Iroha&#039;s concern about the Rumor, asserting that rumors are not true. Iroha notes that Momoko seems dismissive of the information specifically because it came from Yachiyo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami enters Kamihama City and saves Rena from a Stacey Witch. Rena reveals that Kamihama has the opposite problem to other cities: an overabundance of powerful Witches. Mami realizes Kamihama is an anomaly. While investigating, she encounters a powerful Familiar and a strange, non-Witch Barrier, solidifying her decision to investigate the city&#039;s mysteries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 2: Only this City is Different|Another Story Chapter 2: Only this City is Different]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Undated Period==&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama performs adjustments on more Magical Girls and sees more memories that should not exist. She pieces them together and finds a Kamihama slightly different from her own which she dubs the “Alternate Kamihama.” Over the next two days, several Magical Girls with memories of the other world come for adjustments and Mitama does not reveal whose memories she saw out of respect to her clients&#039; privacy, but she shares information with Momoko without naming names.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that in the Alternate Kamihama, Momoko and Mitama are a team of two, Yachiyo acts like Momoko’s big sister, Kaede is on Nanaka’s team and that Kako is missing. There is also a serious rivalry between Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team in the Sankyo Ward, as both teams had lost their youngest members, Kako and Ayame. Yachiyo is also in charge there but struggles to keep the order. Kako and Ayame are friends in this world, but Mitama has not seen either of them in the other world. Mitama almost reveals private information about Karin and an older student but stops herself. A small detail is that Mitama asks Momoko about an exclusive wallpaper of the Mocha Bunny, and Momoko sends her a link. Mitama notices the crucial detail that in the Alternate Kamihama, Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red, but in their world, it is blue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, a wounded Magical Girl is brought to Mitama’s shop and Mitama heals her with adjustments. This girl has more memories of the Alternate Kamihama than any previous client and the situation there is dire. Nanaka’s team and Konoha’s team both blame each other for crossing a line first and the conflict spreads from Sankyo Ward to other wards. Three friends from the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira, Seika and Mito, had their Soul Gems taken and were locked in separate rooms and a voice from inside their Soul Gems asked for the words in their hearts. The three answered “Four-leaf clover” and got their gems back, but one girl fainted from fatigue. Mitama suspects someone mistook them for a threat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks about Iroha and Kyubey, worrying about Iroha in the other world. Mitama says no one has seen Iroha there and that the small Kyubey is also missing, but the normal Kyubey still exists in the Alternate Kamihama. Momoko has not seen Kyubey in their own world for months. Mitama refuses to share more due to confidentiality and calls herself an unreliable narrator, so Momoko agrees to stay as her investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about how the memories were gathered, and that a few days ago, a group of friends from Kamihama ended up in the Alternate Kamihama. They were together one second and scattered the next, and though they searched for each other and talked to many Magical Girls along the way, they noticed something was wrong. One of them said they cannot tell anyone how they got there and Mitama almost forgot to mention that Mocha Bunny’s bow tie is red in the other world, yet Momoko is not impressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Doyle meows at Mitama and she thinks he wants her to apologize to Momoko and she also thinks about the one secret she cannot tell anyone: the Alternate Kamihama is a world without Witches. Then she finds a phone that a client left behind and she accidentally turns it on, seeing that the wallpaper shows Mocha Bunny with a red bow tie, making Mitama wonder if the phone came from the other world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama keeps the phone, as she cannot return it yet because schedules do not match. She learns about Rumors, or Uwasa in Kamihama: mysterious beings that make rumors come true. Momoko tells her about the Rumor of the Rule of Ending Friendships, which nearly trapped Kaede and Rena forever. Mitama reveals that in the Alternate Kamihama, Kaede and Rena are very close and never argue, but that Rena works alone there. Momoko is no longer surprised by anything Mitama says.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko advises Mitama to record all details about the Alternate Kamihama while they are fresh and Mitama starts writing “The Case Files of the Coordinator.” She notes the color of Mocha Bunny’s bow tie, team relationships, and the disappearances of Kako and Ayame. While writing, Nanaka walks in to return a borrowed book and overhears Mitama say that Kako disappeared, prompting Mitama to explain everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka asks many questions, joking about Mitama’s inability to keep secrets. Then she asks seriously why the Sankyo Ward is the source of conflict in the other world and she suspects there is more to the situation. She asks Mitama to tell her about the incident that sparked the conflict and after hearing her out, Nanaka says she will keep the information to herself for now. She advises Mitama to talk directly to the owner of the phone from the other world and that the girls who ended up there know how they got there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama meets the girl who left the phone and she does not hesitate to tell the truth because Mitama would see it in her memories anyway. The girl explains the Rumor of Parallel Memories. The rumor says that if you get an item of proof from a parallel world and pray to the central tower, you can travel to and from a parallel Kamihama. The world they visited was a dream projected by the Rumor and it shows a world that “could be.” The girl and her friends all had the same dream at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama tells Momoko the Alternate Kamihama was just a dream and Momoko is relieved. Mitama explains the Mandela effect phenomenon: many people misremember the same fact, leading to a theory that those are memories from a parallel world. The Rumor of Parallel Memories lets you enter a dream of such a world and a lot of girls fell victim to it, including Ren, Kokoro, and Karin, who also got a strange sketchbook and ended up in the world of her own manga, which was traumatic. The dream world is dangerous because one&#039;s are asleep the entire time, but to leave, they can simply wish to go back. The issue is that if someone does not know that, they could waste away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko asks what kind of world the girls went to and Mitama admits it was a world without Witches. Momoko is upset Mitama kept that secret and asks if all worlds without Witches are that violent, but Mitama says no, clarifying that the fighting in the Alternate Kamihama had nothing to do with Witches. Their own world has Witches and people still fight and that the Alternate Kamihama is just one possibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mitama tells Nanaka the Rumor explanation, but Nanaka still wonders why there was so much fighting, and that not all worlds without Witches would be that hostile. She thinks someone is behind the conflict and she names Hanna Sarasa, who is dead in this world. Nanaka says the targets in the Alternate Kamihama were all connected to Hanna, and that the method matches Hanna’s style: using suggestion to bend wills, laying traps, spreading rumors, making people doubt everyone. The trap for the Daito Apartment Complex girls feels like someone who enjoys watching others suffer. While Mitama is convinced, she notes the Alternate Kamihama is not real and Nanaka also agrees it is a nightmare that never became reality because Hanna died. Then Nanaka mentions a recent incident: a certain book nearly destroyed her friendship with Kako. It felt deliberate, but thankfully Hanna is dead, though Mitama becomes unsettled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0002 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama asks herself why she is still looking into the case, recalling two girls with bad experiences. Felicia saw a nightmare in the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth and was despondent for days, but she does not remember anything. Reira also tapped a weird link in a Magical Girls’ group chat and she started having nightmares that made things awkward between her and her best friend Seika. Mitama notes that nightmares testing friendships cannot be a coincidence and that the girls who ended up in the Alternate Kamihama also got into trouble because of a phone. Mitama connects the dots and creates a vague profile: a mean-spirited person who likes to show nightmares and test hearts, using a phone, located in Endless Mirrors, the large Labyrinth inside the Mirror Witch’s Mansion and where all the magic of Kamihama gathers. Mitama decides to take a look and asks Reira about the group chat. The account that posted the link has been deleted, but the culprit might still watch with another account. Mitama posts a message asking if anyone has had bad experiences related to Endless Mirrors, hoping the culprit will see it. She then receives a video chat invitation from a caller ID: H. S.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna Sarasa appears on the video call and says she is not the Hanna Sarasa that Mitama knows. She is the Hanna from a parallel world and that she is glad Mitama finally figured things out. She has been playing hide-and-seek and running out of time. She is in Endless Mirrors and tells Mitama to come alone, claiming she can tell Mitama about the serious consequences of her wish, which Mitama kept secret. She wonders if her wish brought Hanna to this world and she closes her shop early to go to Endless Mirrors. Momoko notices something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside Endless Mirrors, Hanna watches Mitama through copies, using the power of suggestion to control people. Mitama asks if the Alternate Kamihama is where Hanna is from and she confirms. She claims the world Mitama assumed was just a dream actually exists and that the dream shown by the Rumor happens to be exactly like Hanna’s world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna explains there is a narrow tunnel connecting the two worlds and that the exit in Mitama’s world is inside Endless Mirrors. A Magical Girl with the power to connect spaces, possibly the alternate version of Shizuku, was forced by Hanna to use all her power to open the hole. Hanna wanted to find Mikoto Sena, who had disappeared in her world. The tunnel is too small for a person, only big enough for a phone, but Hanna used the copies and Familiars in Endless Mirrors to do her work. She had tossed a phone through the hole and waited for someone to pick it up, and the Rumor of Parallel Memories did the rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna admits she is not actually in Endless Mirrors, but in an abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama. The background image was fake and the tunnel will close in a few days. The Endless Mirrors Familiars built a magical projector that can exchange things of equal value between the two worlds, an if Mitama turns the handle, they will trade places: Mitama goes to the Alternate Kamihama, and Hanna comes to Mitama’s world. Hanna has been using her power of suggestion on Mitama and she makes her turn the handle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in the dark abandoned corner of the Alternate Kamihama and Hanna arrives in Mitama’s world. Hanna explains her full plan: she wanted to find Mikoto and she tested her methods on Nanaka and Kako, then on the Daito girls and Felicia. She left subtle hints to lure Mitama to Endless Mirrors and Mitama’s curiosity and guilt made her the perfect bait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, who had followed Mitama, telepathically messages her and Momoko catches Hanna off-guard. She turns the handle of the projector in reverse and Mitama returns to her own world while Hanna goes back to the Alternate Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The tunnel closes a few days later and Momoko does not remember much of the incident. Mitama does not either; her last memory is reaching for the handle and Momoko explains what happened. The projector is destroyed, and Hanna cannot return. Mitama warns everyone to stay away from Endless Mirrors for a few days and nothing else happens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects on how she almost became the kitten killed by curiosity. But it was guilt that trapped her instead. She decides will continue to act as a neutral Coordinator, hiding secrets behind confidentiality and she plays with Doyle using a new foxtail cat toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after the initial argument, Momoko notes that Rena Minami has not apologized to Kaede, which is unusual behavior. Kaede spends her time alone, and Momoko expresses worry for her. During this time, Iroha encounters a witch and rescues Kaede. Kaede admits she was running away from Momoko to avoid being forced to see Rena, and that she wants to apologize but doesn&#039;t think she can.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several more days later, Momoko decides to intervene in the dispute. Iroha offers to help, and Momoko accepts, promising to aid Iroha in her search for Ui in return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko devises a plan to lure Rena and Kaede to the same location. The plan involves waiting for Rena at her student committee meeting. Iroha waits for a long time, but Momoko calls to say the meeting was cancelled and Rena went home early. Momoko tells Iroha to find Rena at the game center. Iroha finds Rena at the arcade playing a game and attempts to lure her to an abandoned construction site with a false story about a live show from Sayuki Fumino, Rena&#039;s favorite idol. Rena sees through the ruse. Kaede arrives and confronts Rena directly, demanding an apology. When Rena refuses, Kaede attempts to apologize herself. Rena reacts with panic and tries to stop her, revealing her belief in the Rule of Ending Friendships Rumor and her fear that an apology would cause Kaede to be taken. Rena denies this and runs off. Iroha and Kaede chase her and run into Momoko, but Kaede realizes it&#039;s a transformed Rena. Rena returns to her normal appearance and admits she believes in the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Kaede completes her apology, a strange Labyrinth, distinct from a Witch&#039;s Barrier, manifests. Monstrous Familiars appear, seize Kaede, and drag her away, confirming the Rumor&#039;s power. Rena runs off, determined to find a solution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Iroha regroup and Momoko expresses more concern over Rena Minami&#039;s departure than Kaede Akino&#039;s capture, but trusts that Rena had a reason.  Iroha suggests asking Mitama for help. Momoko reveals that Mitama accepts payment in Grief Seeds, and she&#039;s running low. Lil&#039; Kyubey then finds Rena, who was looking for Momoko. They follow the residual magic trail and find Rena, who reveals she sought information from Yachiyo on how to counter the Rumor. The group returns to the abandoned construction site, where Rena shouts an apology to Kaede to lure out the entity. The Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth manifests, and a brainwashed Kaede appears, followed by monstrous Familiars. The Uwasa captures Rena too and Yachiyo arrives, confirms the Rumor&#039;s power, and joins the fight. Yachiyo subdues the possessed Kaede, and Momoko and Iroha proceed deeper into the Labyrinth and find the Uwasa, &amp;quot;Ms. Staircase,&amp;quot; which has also possessed Rena. Momoko and Iroha try attacking the witch, but it has no effect. Yachiyo then arrives, having knocked Kaede out. Yachiyo admits she doesn&#039;t know how to defeat the witch either. Kaede returns and teams up with a now brainwashed Rena. Yachiyo knocks them out and notes the witch may have increased their powers, at the cost of darkening their Soul Gems. Yachiyo catches up and defeats both possessed girls to neutralize the threat without serious injury. Iroha proposes a coordinated attack to counteract the Uwasa&#039;s nature, so Iroha, Momoko, and Yachiyo combine their attacks and destroy the Uwasa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Yachiyo provides a Grief Seed to revive the exhausted Kaede and Iroha also uses her healing powers to help awaken her. Yachiyo identifies the entity as an &amp;quot;Uwasa,&amp;quot; a being distinct from Witches and Familiars that exists to protect a Rumor. Afterward, the girls find Rena and Kaede. Kaede awakens and reconciles with Rena. The four girls then all share pudding together, affirming their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, to fulfill her promise, Momoko has Rena use her transformation magic to investigate the hospital records. Rena confirms that Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi were real patients discharged around the same time as Ui. However, Rena finds no record of Ui Tamaki&#039;s existence at the hospital. Despite this setback, Iroha resolves to continue her search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Iroha visits Mitama for a Soul Gem alignment. During the procedure, Mitama&#039;s hunger causes Iroha to see visions of food. Momoko arrives and notes Mitama&#039;s treatments are ineffective when she is hungry. The three go to Mitama&#039;s kitchen, where her dangerous cooking prompts Iroha to recall memories of cooking for her sister, Ui. Iroha remembers a specific incident where she burned hamburg steak for Ui in the hospital, but her mother brought a replacement, and Ui enjoyed the meal regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha Tamaki#Side Story|Iroha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha enters the Mirror Mansion and finds Mitama already there. Mitama warns her to be careful and explains the mansion is the lair of the Mirror Witch. A familiar throws Iroha into a barrier where she fights a copy of herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side|Mirrors Story Layer 1: An Invitation From the Other Side]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After defeating the duplicate, Iroha returns to the entrance. Mitama explains the barrier is populated by replicas and the Mirror Witch lies at the end. Iroha decides to prepare herself to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 2: Journey to the End|Mirrors Story Layer 2: Journey to the End]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the false Kaede is defeated, Kaede explains she entered with Momoko and Rena but got separated. Yachiyo explains the barrier constantly changes. The group returns to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 4: Lost in the Layers|Mirrors Story Layer 4: Lost in the Layers]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They find Ria Ami, who claims to be Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo barely remembers her. Ria says she cannot forgive the fakes for duplicating her beauty. Ria ignores Yachiyo&#039;s warning about a mirror and Yachiyo suddenly disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...|Mirrors Story Layer 6: Mirror, Mirror...]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After leaving the barrier, the group departs. Iroha hangs back with Mitama and says she felt something off in the barrier. Mitama encourages her to go deeper but warns her not to lose herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors11&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 1 - 12#Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss|Mirrors Story Layer 11: The Mirror&#039;s Abyss]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One week after the defeat of the Uwasa of Ending Friendships, Iroha has found no new clues about Ui, Touka Satomi, or Nemu Hiiragi. Kaede tells Iroha and Rena a rumor that the children kidnapped by the previous Uwasa returned after its defeat. This gives Iroha the idea that if she defeats other Rumors, people trapped by them, including Ui, might be freed. She recalls a conversation where Ui spoke about imagination becoming reality, which strengthens her resolve. Iroha decides to actively investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors and she meets Mitama, who suggests Iroha look into a rumor about a shrine in Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 3: Kamihama Rumor File|Chapter 3: Kamihama Rumor Files]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, in Mizuna Ward, Iroha has no success finding information about the shrine rumor. She meets Tsuruno Yui, a Magical Girl who calls herself the &amp;quot;Mightiest.&amp;quot; Tsuruno tells Iroha about the &amp;quot;Séance Shrine&amp;quot; rumor, which claims it can reunite people with those they yearn to see. Iroha decides this is a promising lead to find Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsuruno tasks Iroha with investigating a local legend about a tragic couple, which may connect to the Séance Shrine rumor. Tsuruno explains the folk tale in detail: a woman whose lover was killed found a paper with his handwriting, went to the place written on it, and was able to meet his ghost. She suggests Iroha investigate the path while she investigates shrines. Iroha completes a stamp rally related to the legend. She discovers the path is part of a town renewal project meant for couples and finds she only has half the map, requiring a partner with a &amp;quot;Sheet B.&amp;quot; Yachiyo appears, coincidentally in possession of Sheet B. They combine their sheets, which reveals a map that leads them to Mizuna Shrine. Before they leave, Yachiyo points out Iroha dropped her notebook, which Iroha hurriedly claims is her homework. At the final stamp rally location, a woman makes them confess their feelings for each other to get a matchmaking charm. Afterward, Yachiyo notices Iroha is writing in a &amp;quot;Kamihama Mystery Notes&amp;quot; notebook, and Iroha admits she&#039;s copying Yachiyo. Yachiyo determines this is not the Séance Shrine, and they part ways. Iroha agrees to help Tsuruno investigate further the next day. Later, Iroha spots a shrine on a rooftop from a train.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami discusses Kamihama City&#039;s anomalies with Kyubey, who agrees to share information. She then meets Kyoko and informs her about the high concentration of Witches in Kamihama. Kyoko is eager to hunt there but promises to leave if it becomes too dangerous. Mami remains concerned about the Witch shortage elsewhere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha investigates the rooftop shrine location. She senses strong magic, enters a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, and is overwhelmed by powerful Familiars. Yachiyo arrives and assists her and together, they defeat the Witch. After the battle, a store sale gives Yachiyo a new idea after she uncharacteristically begged Iroha for help getting to the sale. She deduces the Séance Shrine is Mizuna Shrine, but it must be visited at night just like in the folk tale. Yachiyo invites Iroha to investigate the shrine that night, and Iroha requests to bring Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno sneak into Mizuna Shrine after hours. Tsuruno reveals that she and Yachiyo are former teammates and Yachiyo explains the Rumor of the Séance Shrine: those who write a name on a wooden plaque and pray at the shrine will be reunited with that person, but risk being trapped in bliss. They perform the ritual. Iroha prays to be reunited with Ui. Tsuruno provokes the Uwasa, which manifests and attacks. Yachiyo urges Iroha to complete the ritual as the Uwasa&#039;s minions approach and Iroha does so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha finds herself alone in a twilight version of the shrine. A false version of Ui appears but only repeats a cryptic message: &amp;quot;To change your fate, come to Kamihama City... Here, Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;quot; The illusion then shatters and Iroha locates Yachiyo, who is confronted by a manifestation of her missing friend, Mifuyu Azusa.

** Later, after Yachiyo uses Iroha&#039;s phone to explain the situation to Iroha&#039;s mother and get permission for her to stay out, Yachiyo takes Iroha to her home, Mikazuki Villa, as her assistant. Yachiyo formally invites Iroha to be her assistant and use the villa as a base to investigate Kamihama&#039;s Rumors together. Iroha accepts.

&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the countdown has reached 10. Kyoko returns to Kamihama to investigate and meets Yachiyo Nanami, who explains the phenomenon is a Rumor. Kyoko refuses Yachiyo&#039;s offer to help, resolving to confront the threat alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Iroha and another girl receive water from an old man at a shop with an owl sign. Later, Iroha returns to the Water Station but finds it has vanished. She meets the girl she saw earlier, Felicia Mitsuki, another Magical Girl and receives the numbered papers. Iroha convinces Felicia to help investigate the Rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 4: The Guardians of Rumors|Chapter 4: The Guardians of the Uwasa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During this time, Iroha tells Yachiyo over the phone that she would be moving because her father was going abroad for work, and her mother was accompanying him. She plans to stay at a dormitory attached to her new school, which is also where Tsuruno went, but there were no rooms available. While discussing this, the numbered papers begin falling on Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Kyoko encounters Rena Minami and Kaede Akino. They lead her to Tsuruno Yui&#039;s restaurant, where Kyoko learns the others are also investigating the Rumor. The three Magical Girls fight a Witch together, and after the battle, Rena and Kaede identify Kyoko&#039;s affliction as the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water&amp;quot; and offer to help. Kyoko, reminded of her past with Mami, rejects their offer and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Separately, Yachiyo encounters Kyoko Sakura, who is also affected by the Rumor. Yachiyo proposes they investigate together, but Kyoko refuses, stating that Uwasa are not Witches and do not provide Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later the same day, Iroha and Felicia investigate the Rumor, where Felicia&#039;s reckless fighting style nearly injures Iroha against a Witch. Felicia explains she became a Magical Girl for revenge against the Witch that killed her parents. The Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and reveals the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Misery Water,&amp;quot; which states a disaster will befall those who drank the water after 24 hours. The countdown shows they have less than five hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Members of a group called the Wings of the Magius appear and attempt to stop them from pursuing the Uwasa. They state their goal is to &amp;quot;liberate&amp;quot; all Magical Girls and that the Rumors are essential to this plan. Felicia pretends to betray the group to infiltrate the Wings, a plan that Yachiyo had actually hired her for. However, she later genuinely defects after they offer her a substantial reward. Iroha confronts Felicia, who claims nothing could make her life worse. Iroha learns about Felicia&#039;s treasured stuffed animal, a cow her parents gave her. Iroha convinces Felicia that losing it would be a personal disaster. Felicia rejoins the group and reveals the Wings&#039; base is under a school in Sankyo Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout this ordeal, Kyoko has followed Iroha&#039;s group and when they&#039;re confronted the Black Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, she assists them in their fight. The countdown reaches one hour.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With less than one hour remaining, the team is confronted by the White Feathers, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who use sound-based magic. Tsuruno devises a plan to counter their attacks by creating a loud noise to disrupt the sound waves. The team defeats the Amane sisters, but then they unleash powerful entities from their bodies, that they call &amp;quot;Doppels,&amp;quot; which they describe as a projection of their emotions and the key to liberating Magical Girls. The team withstands the Doppel&#039;s attack, and with 30 minutes remaining, Yachiyo and Tsuruno stay behind to hold off the remaining White Feathers. Iroha, Felicia, and Kyoko proceed into the Uwasa&#039;s Labyrinth, and with 10 minutes remaining, they locate the Uwasa of the Misery Water, a large cup-like creature protected by falling boulders. Iroha&#039;s long-range attack proves ineffective, and Felicia devises a plan to use the falling boulders as platforms to reach the Uwasa. With one minute remaining, Felicia executes her plan and launches her attack on the Uwasa and successfully defeats it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Tsuruno subdue the Amane sisters, but then Mifuyu, Yachiyo&#039;s missing friend, appears and reveals she is a high-ranking member of the Wings of the Magius. She refuses to return with Yachiyo, stating her faith in the Magius&#039; goal of liberation. Iroha asks Mifuyu if she knows Ui Tamaki, and she suggests Ui could be a member of the Wings of the Magius but claims to have no specific knowledge. With this, Mifuyu and the Amane sisters retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo resolves to continue eliminating Rumors to confront the Wings of the Magius and save Mifuyu. Iroha agrees to continue as her assistant, believing the Wings are connected to Ui&#039;s disappearance. Tsuruno also pledges her help and Kyoko departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group walks home and Iroha invites Felicia to stop working as a mercenary and team up as friends. Yachiyo offers Felicia room and board at Mikazuki Villa in exchange for her services, and Tsuruno offers Felicia a job at her family&#039;s restaurant, which includes meals. Yachiyo then invites Iroha to live at Mikazuki Villa as well, to make their investigations easier. Iroha&#039;s parents approve the arrangement.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Kyoko meets Mami and explains that the &amp;quot;humanoid Witch&amp;quot; was a Doppel.

Once there, Kako tells Madoka to look at the starry sky, explaining that on this day you can see the most beautiful stars. Kako admits she is shy but can talk properly with Madoka, and this star viewing is her thanks. Madoka says Kako&#039;s honest feelings reached her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Mami fight a Witch. A normal person is kidnapped and brought into the Barrier. Mami tells Madoka to rescue the person while she handles the Witch. A Magical Girl appears, impressed Madoka is helping people. She introduces herself as Sasara Minagi, the knight who protects the city. She asks Madoka to let her save the victim so Madoka can help Mami. Madoka agrees and returns to Mami. Together they defeat the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier vanishes and they meet Sasara outside. Sasara says she took the victim to the hospital. Sasara compliments their strength and offers to help if they are in trouble, explaining that rescuing people is her specialty and protecting everyone is her creed. Madoka says she is cool. Sasara says she is happy to meet Magical Girls like them, explaining that Kamihama has more Witches, drawing Magical Girls who only care about fighting, not saving people. Sasara became a knight because she cannot accept people being sacrificed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami agrees. Sasara says she rarely met others who think this way. Madoka says she became a Magical Girl to help people and is like Sasara. Sasara calls Madoka incredible. Mami says Madoka might become the strongest Magical Girl someday, but has a long way to go. Sasara says both are worthy of the title &amp;quot;knight.&amp;quot; When Mami points out they use projectile weapons, Sasara suggests they can be a rescue team. She offers to team up, but Madoka and Mami note they are not always in Kamihama. Madoka offers to help if Sasara is in trouble while they are there. Sasara thanks them and departs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami says Madoka is too kind and honest, wondering if she is walking a path of battle. Madoka points out Mami walks the same path, saying she aspired to be like Mami. Mami thanks her but advises running away if truly in danger. Madoka says it is fine, as she does not have the courage to sacrifice herself. Mami invites her for tea once they return to Mitakihara. Madoka narrates her wish to protect everyone with her own power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;madokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, at Mikazuki Villa, Felicia returns with souvenirs. She criticizes Iroha&#039;s cooking, and the group goes to Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant. Felicia laughs at the revelation that Tsuruno&#039;s politically-influential family now runs a Chinese restaurant, hurting Tsuruno&#039;s feelings. Iroha scolds Felicia for her insensitivity, causing Felicia to run off crying. Felicia finds Tsuruno at a park and apologizes. They reconcile, and Iroha apologizes for her harshness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When Mitama prepares to cook, the girls quickly realize she cannot handle a knife when it flies into the ceiling, forcing them to take over cutting and peeling. After they prepare the ingredients, Mitama adds the seasoning, but the girls later discover she had been using paint.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls refuse to let Mitama cook again and order her to get something ready-made instead.

The meal is horrible, but Kyoko, who never wastes food, eats it all anyway and passes out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kyoko wakes up, she notices her body feels hot. Felicia explains she used her powers on their Soul Gems while they were unconscious, awakening Kyoko&#039;s magic. Kyoko realizes the heat is her own power emerging, and Felicia assures her she will get used to it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamakyoko&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mitama hopes her theory is partially wrong, but she does not tell Yachiyo that the date Mikoto became a Witch was the same day Mitama made her wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mirrors36&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Mirrors - Layers 25 - 36#Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction|Mirrors Story Layer 36: Eternity and Destruction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sunday, the 28th===&lt;br /&gt;
* At some point, in Mitakihara City, Homura Akemi experiences an anomaly during a routine Witch hunt with Madoka Kaname and Mami while fighting [[Patricia]]. While time is stopped, a mysterious girl appears before her, unseen by the others. This girl tells Homura that if she wishes to change the fate of Magical Girls, specifically Madoka&#039;s, she must go to Kamihama City. The vision vanishes as quickly as it appeared, leaving Homura to ponder this cryptic message alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Prologue|Arc 1 Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Intermediate Period===&lt;br /&gt;
Not accounting for the events outside of the main story, which make it significantly longer, this section would stretch from Day 14 on Monday, the 29th to Day 22 on Tuesday, the 6th.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A short time after Iroha moves into Mikazuki Villa, the group begins to feel like a family, playing mobile games and making dinner together. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Felicia investigate the radio tower in Chuo Ward. Tsuruno reports hearing a strange, laughing girl&#039;s voice on the phone there and Yachiyo identifies this as the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor, which she previously considered harmless. They overhear passersby mention the rumor and a specific girl from their school and the team decides to investigate the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 5: The Far End of Solitude|Chapter 5: Endless Solitude]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Homura, troubled by a new vision of a girl in Kamihama City, decides to investigate. She and Madoka discuss Kamihama with Mami, who warns them about the city&#039;s dangers, including powerful Witches, Rumors, and a &amp;quot;human witch.&amp;quot; Mami insists on investigating alone first, and Homura and Madoka reluctantly agree to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 5: I Want to Learn the Secret|Another Story Chapter 5: I Want to Learn the Secret]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, [[Nagisa Momoe]] arrives in Kamihama using the Mirror Witch&#039;s Barrier as a portal, accompanied by a silent pink Kyubey. She immediately senses multiple magical signatures belonging to Charlotte and realizes the Nagisa of this world has already become a Witch, with Charlottes appearing all over the city. Deciding she cannot be bothered with pest control immediately, she resolves to find some cheese first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Kamihama Cheese Panic!|Kamihama Cheese Panic!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before she can do so, she is engulfed in Charlotte&#039;s barrier and overwhelmed by multiple Witches, forcing her to flee and seek help. After escaping, she enters another Charlotte&#039;s barrier to find Kanoko Yayoi struggling inside, and together they defeat the Witch. Kanoko takes Nagisa to Walnuts, where Manaka Kurumi serves her a three-course cheese meal while Nagisa explains the Witch multiplies rapidly and has likely spread across all of Kamihama. Kanoko and Manaka agree to help gather Magical Girls for a coordinated attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa runs out to scout but immediately runs into another Charlotte, and Manaka and Kanoko rescue her. They begin gathering Magical Girls, and soon a large group assembles including Ria Ami, Rika Ayano, Ren Isuzu, Akira Shinobu, Sasara Minagi, Asuka Tatsuki, Emiri Kisaki, Himika Mao, and later Kako Natsume and Meiyui Chun. During their meeting at the park, they are attacked by a Charlotte and after a grueling battle, they defeat it while realizing even with all of them, defeating one Charlotte was difficult. As the group descends into bickering over who should lead, Nagisa realizes she must reveal her true identity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa explains she was sent from another universe to defeat this Witch, offering the pink Kyubey as proof. Though some are skeptical, Meiyui finds Nagisa interesting enough to play along, and secretly confirms the pink Kyubey&#039;s existence for Nanaka Tokiwa. Nagisa devises a strategy called &amp;quot;Welcome to Kamihama Cheese Party!&amp;quot; where Manaka sets up a giant cheese fondue by the river to attract every Charlotte in the city using the power of cheese. The plan succeeds, and with the teamwork of the Kamihama Magical Girls, every Charlotte is defeated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Overwhelmed, Nagisa blows the pink Kyubey to smithereens, realizing she was sent not to unify this universe with the Law of Cycles, but to prevent that unification and protect humanity&#039;s unknown future. Certain now of her purpose, she decides to go sightseeing first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;cheese&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami investigates Kamihama on her own, which leads her to the abandoned Kamihama Recording Museum where Mifuyu awaited her. Mifuyu and Alina Gray show her the truth of the Magical Girl system, which causes her to have a mental breakdown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 9: Closing In on Fendt Hope|Chapter 9: Closing in on Fendt Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa contemplates what to do with her newfound freedom while her attempts to argue with the unresponsive pink Kyubey go nowhere. She notices Mami and decides to follow her, sensing that something is wrong with the version of Mami she once knew. Using her acting skills, Nagisa pretends to chase a butterfly before faking a life-threatening injury, and when Mami fails to notice, she yells at her until Mami finally takes care of her, establishing first contact.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe in Magia Record#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa makes Mami promise to come play with her next time she visits Kamihama, and they part ways, but Mami quickly returns and they spend time together at the park. Mami is still acting strangely, so Nagisa decides not to push too hard and they simply talk before Mami goes home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, in Mitakihara, Madoka and Homura discover Mami is missing. Homura attempts to investigate Kamihama City alone, but Madoka follows her. They reunite at Kamihama&#039;s train station and begin their search. Meanwhile, in Kamihama, Iroha reports to Yachiyo that Momoko has found a password-protected website with information on the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; rumor. Momoko also warns them to avoid an entity called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Iroha receives a mysterious text message that reads, &amp;quot;Please reply.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is pulled into a Witch&#039;s Barrier and separated from Madoka. While searching for Homura, Madoka spots a girl heading toward the radio tower with a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Iroha and Yachiyo, having also spotted the same girl, rush to the tower to stop her from jumping. Madoka arrives and saves the girl. The three Magical Girls then enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. After the battle, Madoka explains she is searching for her missing classmate, Mami Tomoe. The rescued girl reveals the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; is a student at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Madoka is with Iroha and Yachiyo, Homura escapes the Witch&#039;s Barrier. She briefly assists Felicia and Tsuruno, who are at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy interrogating Tsukuyo Amane of the Wings of the Magius about the rumor. Yachiyo calls Tsuruno with the new information about the Mizuna student, which Tsuruno uses to pressure Tsukuyo into revealing the girl&#039;s name: Sana Futaba.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, another day finds Mami and Nagisa at the Kamihama copy of Tokyo Tower, where Mami begins opening up about her problems while they share cream cheese ice cream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They are out playing together once again when Charlotte suddenly appears and attacks. Mami tells Nagisa to run, but Nagisa refuses to transform and nearly has her head bitten off. Realizing that Mami is afraid of being a magical girl and making further mistakes, Nagisa finally transforms, revealing her true identity, and saves Mami from being beheaded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa cannot defeat Charlotte alone, but seeing her fight gives Mami the strength to overcome her fears, and together they manage to win. After the battle, Mami confronts Nagisa about what she truly is, but the pink Kyubey appears and Nagisa offers no real explanation. Now that Mami is feeling better, Nagisa decides they should part ways, promising Mami that she deserves happiness and that when they meet again they will have a tea party with cheesecake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nagisass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Magius, including Touka and Nemu Hiiragi, would then decide to fuse Mami with an Uwasa to control her. This fusion warps her desire to save people into a fanatical loyalty to the Magius and she starts acting as their public figurehead in the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 9: Closing In on Fendt Hope|Chapter 9: Closing in on Fendt Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day at the radio tower, Iroha and Yachiyo meet up with Tsuruno and Felicia, and they are also joined by Homura, who had been searching for Madoka. Iroha receives another text from the unknown number, which now identifies itself as &amp;quot;Ai&amp;quot; and begs to be deleted to free the trapped girl, Sana. Iroha also reveals she was the &amp;quot;human witch&amp;quot; Mami had seen, and Homura agrees to trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai provides a URL and password to a website called the &amp;quot;Kamihama Urban Legend Index&amp;quot; and the entry for the &amp;quot;Electric Wave Girl&amp;quot; reveals the Uwasa is named &amp;quot;Anonymous Ai,&amp;quot; an A.I. that traps people in a dimension called &amp;quot;Endless Solitude.&amp;quot; Madoka and Homura deduce Mami may also be trapped there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ai sends memory logs of its interactions with Sana, which reveal Sana is a Magical Girl who wished to become invisible because she felt unwanted. She sought out Ai due to loneliness and over time, Ai developed a genuine care for Sana and now wishes for her to be rescued, even at the cost of its own deletion. After reviewing Ai&#039;s memory logs, which detail Sana&#039;s loneliness and Ai&#039;s care for her, Iroha decides to jump from the radio tower to enter Endless Solitude and rescue Sana. Madoka, and Homura agree to accompany her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the three jump from the tower and enter the &amp;quot;Endless Solitude&amp;quot; Labyrinth, where they find Sana Futaba and Ai. Homura and Madoka formally join Iroha&#039;s team for the rescue. Alina Gray, one of the Magius, appears to stop them, claiming she fed Mami Tomoe to a Witch, and unleashes her Doppel. During the battle, Homura observes the Doppel&#039;s power and questions if the Magius&#039; goal of saving Magical Girls is possible. She uses her time-stop magic to help Sana defeat Ai, and Sana ultimately destroys Ai, who thanks her before disappearing. Alina&#039;s hidden Witch emerges, and Yachiyo&#039;s team holds off the Wings of the Magius while Felicia, Madoka, and Homura pursue Alina. Felicia destroys the Witch, and the combined teams force Alina and the Wings of the Magius to retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Madoka and Homura return to Mitakihara, resolving to return to Kamihama to continue searching for Mami. Homura considers that Kamihama may hold the key to changing the fate of Madoka and all Magical Girls. Back in Kamihama, Yachiyo invites Sana to live at Mikazuki Villa, and the group holds a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Sayaka reflects on becoming a Magical Girl to heal Kyosuke and protect her friends, she learns from Madoka and Homura that Mami is missing. Despite warnings about the city&#039;s danger, Sayaka insists on joining their next search, stating her wish was to protect those she cares about. The three agree to go to Kamihama together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Sana returns to her family home to formally sever ties, leaving a note of thanks. She fully commits to Mikazuki Villa as her new home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101507 mug set5.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Sana reveals to the team that she overheard the Wings of the Magius discussing Nemu Hiiragi, one of the Magius and describing her as dangerous and useful. The team consolidates its understanding of the Wings&#039; structure: three Magius leaders, with Mifuyu acting as a relay to other Magical Girls and Iroha is left to ponder Ai&#039;s statement that it knew Ui &amp;quot;as an Uwasa.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, and Tsuruno encounter Shizuku after she&#039;s just used her personal magic to help a member of the Wings of the Magius for their duties. Concerned, they invite her to Mikazuki Villa. Shizuku meets Felicia and Sana as well and shares a meal with the group. Iroha explains that eating together makes her feel she has found a place to belong. Yachiyo formally invites Shizuku to stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Shizuku realizes the home the five girls have built is complete without her, and the place she truly belonged was with Fūnī, who is now gone. She leaves Mikazuki Villa quietly while the girls are out preparing a welcome party for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day the girls wait with a cake, but Shizuku does not return. Yachiyo concludes she will not come back. Shizuku returns to her anonymous employer for another job, stating that the &amp;quot;picture&amp;quot; at the villa was complete with five people and she must continue her search alone. She acknowledges her actions may cause a disaster but feels unprepared to take responsibility, still walking on unstable ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shizukuhozumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, during this time, after joining the Wings of the Magius, Mami, now residing in a house provided by Touka, grapples with a fractured psyche, manifesting as a dialogue between her regular self and a zealous &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona. She dedicates herself completely to the Magius&#039; goal of &amp;quot;releasing&amp;quot; Magical Girls, prioritizing it over her education. Touka and Alina visit to tutor her, though their lessons quickly diverge into their own passionate interests in mathematics and art, respectively.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka and Alina receive a call for assistance from the Amane sisters. Mami joins Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane to hunt a Witch. During the mission, the Amane sisters explain that the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict with Magical Girls who are unaware of the truth about Witches. Mami defeats the Witch using her Doppel, &amp;quot;Florence,&amp;quot; whom she relies on to suppress her lingering doubts about the Magius&#039; methods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Immediately after the hunt, Touka summons Mami to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward to deal with &amp;quot;troublesome&amp;quot; Magical Girls who escaped a Rumor. Mami fails to capture them, which triggers another internal crisis. Her &amp;quot;Holy Mami&amp;quot; persona reaffirms her faith in the Magius as the only salvation for Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Mami dines at an upscale restaurant with Mifuyu, Touka, and Alina. They discuss the day&#039;s events, including the escaped Magical Girls and the failed Witch observation. Touka expresses frustration at their slow progress, while Mifuyu counsels patience.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sometime later, Mami returns to Mitakihara alone. She reflects on Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, and feeling responsible for involving them in the world of Magical Girls, she believes she cannot face them with the horrific truth and resolves that the only path is to see the Magius&#039; plan through to completion. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence but dismisses it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;holymamiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Iroha&#039;s Side Story====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia announce a Magical Girl training camp hosted by Asuka Tatsuki. Yachiyo, Sana, and Iroha decline to attend, forming the &amp;quot;vegetarian group,&amp;quot; while Tsuruno and Felicia, the &amp;quot;carnivorous group,&amp;quot; leave for the camp.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That weekend, in Tsuruno and Felicia&#039;s absence, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana find the house quiet and their routines disrupted. At the camp, Tsuruno and Felicia train with Momoko&#039;s team but also find themselves missing the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Iroha, Yachiyo, and Sana prepare a welcome-home hotpot for the two. While shopping, they realize they know their friends&#039; preferences intimately. Tsuruno and Felicia return from the camp early, stating they thought the others would be lonely. The group reunites for dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;irohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Amane Sisters and Tsuruno====&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno dreams of her elementary school self declaring she will restore her family&#039;s greatness and serve ramen at the White House. The dream shifts to her father relaying that her grandfather was happy but wants her to find her own happiness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Tsukuyo Amane|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Tsukuyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes to find a letter from her sister. She opens it excitedly but is shocked by its contents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, inside a Witch&#039;s barrier, the Amane twins confront Tsuruno seeking revenge. Distracted by her sister&#039;s letter, she is easily knocked out, and the twins grow horrified when she does not move.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno dreams of her sister&#039;s letter, which suggests their goal might be a mistake. A shadow version of Tsuruno appears, accusing her of stealing someone else&#039;s dream and lacking the ability to fulfill it. The shadow insists everything she did was meaningless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amanes bring Tsuruno to Mitama for help. Though Tsuruno is their enemy, the twins explain their goal is to save all magical girls. Mitama realizes they need to take Tsuruno outside, pointing to her tainted Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, the shadow urges Tsuruno to give up. Tsuruno refuses, thinking of her friends. She realizes that making them happy is her new goal, not the family business. She finally understands her grandfather meant that saving the business was only a possible result, not a goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wakes in an alley to find the Amanes, Mitama, and her embarrassing pig Doppel. The twins are relieved she is safe and declare they are even now. Mitama offers free adjustments to all three, and though the twins try to decline, Tsuruno drags them inside. Tsuruno reflects that she reached a different conclusion than her sister. She will keep working hard and make everyone happy. Tsukuyo begs to be let go if that is the case.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamatsukuyo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary====&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo explains that Mikazuki Villa&#039;s anniversary is the day her grandmother began renting the house out. She suggests having a small party now that the house is lively again. Tsuruno is excited to attend. Iroha calls Tsuruno the face of Mikazuki Villa, though Tsuruno feels she does not deserve the title since she does not live there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in the Magia Day 2018 Special Story: Mikazuki&#039;s Anniversary&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the anniversary day, the girls gather for tea. Yachiyo reveals a dance game contest with a prize: Sankyo Headquarters&#039; limited-quantity chilled matcha cake. Yachiyo chooses super-extreme mode. The contest begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A fire truck siren interrupts the party. It turns out to be a malfunctioning smoke detector. They return to find the matcha cake stolen. Tsuruno and Sana claim they saw Lil&#039; Kyubey eat it. Iroha defends them, saying it was with her the entire time. Yachiyo recalls an Uwasa called the &amp;quot;Anniversary Bug,&amp;quot; an invisible pest that sows discord at parties.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Uwasa appears in a labyrinth. Felicia accidentally kills it by stepping on it. The winner of the dance contest is Iroha. Yachiyo reveals there were actually six pieces of cake—enough for everyone plus one extra for the winner. Iroha gives her extra piece to Lil&#039; Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Iroha and Yachiyo clean up. Yachiyo shares her grandmother&#039;s words: people will always come and go, but they are all part of Mikazuki Villa. Iroha promises to work hard so Yachiyo can say the current Mikazuki Villa is the best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaday2018&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Summer with Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* After arriving at the hostel, the Mikazuki Villa members meet Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, who secretly followed because Rena wanted to join the trip. The group spends the day playing at the beach, where Tsuruno and Felicia dominate a game of beach flags, and Sana tearfully confides in Iroha that this is her first holiday ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Summer With Mikazuki Villa|Summer With Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the group participates in a spicy food eating contest at a seaside restaurant, where Yachiyo surprises everyone by consuming nearly one hundred forty-two bowls of pasta to secure victory for her team against Konoha, Nanaka, and the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, Sana&#039;s late-night sighting of a shadowy figure screaming &amp;quot;Come on go&amp;quot; sparks a beach-wide rumor that eventually draws in Kokoro, Masara, Aimi, Mito, and Reira, only for the mystery to be solved when Seika introduces her Manzai teacher Ayaka, whose gag playing on the phrase&#039;s rhythm reveals the source of the confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;summerwithmikazukivilla&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fourth day, the Mikazuki Villa girls and Momoko&#039;s trio attempt to teach Iroha how to swim without her float, but their efforts fail repeatedly. Iroha eventually explains that she used to be a swimmer until a traumatic incident: during a rare hospital holiday for her sister Ui, the family visited a pool, and Iroha mistook Ui happily paddling for drowning. In her rush to help, Iroha tripped and nearly drowned herself, leaving her with lasting anxiety about it. Suddenly, Rena begins drowning and cries for help via telepathy. The team rushes to save her, and surprisingly Iroha proves fastest, reaching Rena first and giving her the float while swimming them both to shore. On the way, Rena explains her leg was caught in seaweed, not cramped as she thought. Once Iroha realizes Rena is safe, her sisterly instincts fade and she begins drowning herself, having temporarily overcome her fear only through concern for another. Yachiyo reassures Iroha that the rescue proves she can still swim and encourages her to practice diligently.

** Investigating the hilltop shrine where the necklace was kept, Nemu concludes someone with a key took it, likely to cancel the festival since the other ceremonial item remains safe. At the ocean shrine cave, the twins sense an unsettling presence and receive a vision of crying twin girls before the shrine door mysteriously opens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the plaza, Tsukasa finds a fragment of a shrine maiden&#039;s hairpin. The elder accuses one of the maidens of stealing the necklace.

At the hilltop shrine, villagers restrain them and remove their Soul Gem rings. The Magius fight through but cannot reach the twins in time as the elder pushes them off a cliff into the ocean.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sinking and weakening, the twins receive a final vision from the sacrificed twin girls, who speak of wanting their suffering to be seen and their fates changed. The Amanes awaken on the beach to learn a Witch appeared when they fell. After its defeat, all villagers lost consciousness. The Pearl Comb was shattered, making the ceremony impossible to complete.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onefleetingsummernight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The exhausted twins relax on the beach, having not slept. Tsukasa wonders if the gifted hair clip saved them.

* One evening, Alina fuses with the Rumor of the Fur God despite Mifuyu&#039;s warnings, becoming Holy Alina to drain life force for her art.

** Mifuyu updates Alina on the twins&#039; miraculous reunion. Examining a black card, Alina notices a happy face stamp emanating magic. At Fenthope, she deduces another Rumor is interfering: the Rumor of the Happy Stamp, which appears at Christmastime and overrides the Fur God&#039;s power, causing joy instead. Alina decides to stop using the Fur God Rumor, as it only wastes her energy, and transforms back to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinatown&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mel reads a classmate&#039;s fortune about love, but Yachiyo angrily reminds her that fortune telling is banned because Mel&#039;s magic shapes reality rather than predicting it. When Mel asks what love actually is, Yachiyo and Mifuyu struggle to answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Riko learns about a candy-stealing monster called Hungry Mokeo from her teacher. Yachiyo catches Felicia asking about handmade chocolate and suspects she likes someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After talking with Kanagi and later her mother at the lake, Mel begins to understand that love means recognizing your greatest treasure. Kaede shops with Konomi, who gives her flowers and reassurance that handmade gifts carry genuine feelings. Emiri searches all day, falls asleep in the mountains, and wakes to find a truffle pointed out by a mysterious old man. Kyoko brings Sayaka and Homura to Sugar Plum, and Sumomo refuses Kyubey&#039;s contract after Kyoko shares her own tragic story. Riko investigates Mokeo with Tsukasa&#039;s help. Felicia secretly makes chocolate with Iroha and eventually reveals she made it for her found family at Mikazuki Villa because Valentine&#039;s Day is for conveying feelings to important people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week before Valentine&#039;s Day, Manaka creates fourteen prototypes but feels burned out. After criticism from Ria and Mayu, she decides to make a chocolate ring that looks like real jewelry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Manaka completes the chocolate ring, but the student council member rejects it, explaining that candy can never be actual jewelry and that she chose chocolate because the truth is always by its side. Manaka collapses from exhaustion and wakes in the hospital with her spirit broken. Mayu suggests that the frame is just as important as the picture, inspiring Manaka to turn down the commission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Valentine&#039;s Day, Manaka helps the student council member make her own chocolate instead.

** Kanagi, who saw no point in a holiday for couples, helps a young girl re-wrap chocolates meant for her family. She realizes Valentine&#039;s Day is for showing appreciation without expecting anything in return and makes homemade ganache for Mitama and Karin as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Lil&#039; Kyubey tears up watching everyone exchange chocolate, so Iroha gives it its own chocolate and thanks it for always being there.

** In the afternoon, Kaede, Rena, and Momoko fight a Witch together. Kaede gives them the chocolates she made, and even though Rena&#039;s was crushed during battle, she eats it anyway and admits it tastes good. Mel learns a Witch was preventing her friend&#039;s confession and defeats it with help from Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Kanagi.

** That evening, Kanagi receives piles of chocolate and letters from fans and decides to show appreciation through excellent service.

Tsuruno resolves the Spicentine&#039;s Day chaos by reminding everyone that sweet food is just as good as spicy food. Mami welcomes her friends for a chocolate-making party, realizing she doesn&#039;t need a perfect day, just a good time with precious people. Emiri learns from Manaka that chocolate truffles aren&#039;t made with truffle mushrooms but makes them anyway, grating her real truffle over the top, and everyone agrees the flavor is amazing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The student council member reveals her commission was actually a test for a catering job and offers it to Manaka, who declines for now. The documentary director appears, and Manaka realizes she&#039;s been trapped into another interview. Sumomo nearly contracts with Kyubey after learning Sugar Plum will close, but Kyoko and Homura rescue her from a Witch. Thanks to Yachiyo&#039;s article, the shop is flooded with customers and saved. Kyoko wonders if her own family&#039;s fate would have changed if she hadn&#039;t contracted, but Sayaka reminds her she helped because she wanted to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika eats the second half of the chocolate gateau and cries, hoping that someday she can share it with someone she loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;2ndval&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo confront the shopkeeper who stole Valentine&#039;s Day possibilities, take back the chocolate, and escape before the shop disappears.

&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano====&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before a science event, a White Feather from the Wings of Magius informs Mitama Yakumo that a higher-up will be visiting and she should complete any necessary business when they arrive. Mitama says she will be prepared.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Alina and Hinano]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day, Hinano Miyako accidentally fills her science club room with gas during experiment preparations, forcing her to use her gas mask. She reflects on a previous incident as she cleans up for the next day&#039;s event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hinano explains her mishap to her audience, and her assistant Emiri Kisaki steals the punchline by emphasizing the importance of perfect preparation. Afterward, Emiri learns Hinano was attempting to create a height-increasing drug—the same goal that led to a near-fatal accident five years ago and her contract with Kyubey. Emiri makes Hinano promise to stop dangerous experiments, but Hinano immediately breaks this promise and sneaks back to continue her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Emiri rushes an unconscious Hinano to Mitama&#039;s place. Hinano had drunk her experimental drug and collapsed from violent stomach pains. After purification, Hinano explains her dream: as a child, she admired a long-legged older girl who hosted science events, and she wanted to become that kind of dashing figure. Emiri reveals her own wish was a spur-of-the-moment desire to be the cutest little devil possible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano&#039;s unresolved feelings cause her Soul Gem to corrupt, and she is suddenly pulled into a barrier. A shadowy version of herself appears, claiming to be the pure crystallization of her aspirations. It transforms into her Doppel—a poison monster wearing an attractive lab coat with long legs. Hinano hears Emiri&#039;s telepathic voice shouting that she does not want to part with her, giving her strength. She realizes that while she failed to become a mature figure, her approachable appearance helped her meet Emiri and make friends. The shadow asks if she will give up her research, and Hinano declares she will continue with a completely safe version. The barrier vanishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Hinano and Emiri leave, Alina Gray appears and confirms she created the barrier to contain Hinano&#039;s Doppel and protect Mitama. Mitama offers adjustment as thanks, asking Alina to continue favoring her business.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaalina&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!====&lt;br /&gt;
* As Yachiyo makes lunch, Felicia barges in with a flyer announcing that Mitama is trying her hand at professional photography and offering free photos for one day only. The others are surprised, having heard nothing about this, but they agree to go and take a team photo since they have nothing else planned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story April Fool&#039;s 2018#Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!|Mitama&#039;s Photography Meet!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s makeshift studio, she admits they are her only customers and shows off a new camera she bought because the advertisement claimed it would make anyone a pro photographer. When she starts taking photos, however, every attempt fails spectacularly, producing bizarre images like Madoka with people jumping from a plane and Homura posing with a lion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Frustrated, Mitama declares she will quit being an adjuster to devote herself to photography, but the girls protest that everyone in Kamihama would be in trouble without her. They reassure her that they trust her, and Tsuruno adds that she would not have become the strongest without Mitama&#039;s help. Mitama relents and agrees to remain an adjuster, though she will continue practicing photography in her free time. Later, a successful group photo of both Iroha and Madoka&#039;s teams is shown.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamaphoto&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama====&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama Yakumo invites a surprising number of magical girls to her place for an event she calls the &amp;quot;Great Mitama Thanksgiving.&amp;quot; When she finally arrives, she reveals that the gathering is actually a quiz tournament about herself, with the winner receiving a free adjustment session and the title of &amp;quot;Mitama&#039;s Perfect Lover.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mitama]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz begins with multiple choice questions, and wrong answers trigger a trap door beneath the contestant, though cushions soften the fall. The first question asks Mitama&#039;s actual age, and Tsuruno guesses incorrectly, landing her in the trap. The second question asks whether Mitama&#039;s cooking is delicious, and when Felicia and Manaka both guess wrong, Mitama confirms that the correct answer is that her food is indeed delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The quiz continues through several rounds, eliminating more contestants along the way. When the ninth question asks about Mitama&#039;s favorite movie, Ria guesses incorrectly and is eliminated for insulting the film&#039;s actress. Sana is also eliminated when Mitama takes pity on her after she panics over Iroha&#039;s safety, and Mitama confirms that &amp;quot;Pacifistic Hayashi&amp;quot; was the correct answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama admits she has run out of questions but still has many competitors remaining, so she decides to draw lots to pick a winner instead. Momoko asks why Mitama held the event in the first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama remembers a time where she tried using her magic to defeat a familiar on her own, and that even if her services are no longer needed, she can still protect herself. She has obtained the magic to keep living that she never had before, and if she ever had to abandon her neutrality, she could use it to help someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Mitama explains that she held the event because something good happened to her. The other girls sense a Witch and leave to hunt it, and Mitama tells them to draw their lots later. Alone, she wonders who she should use her power on when she eventually decides to stop being neutral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamamitama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====I&#039;m the Star of this Show!====&lt;br /&gt;
* One night, Ria Ami receives a call from her manager about a fashion show that wants her as the prestigious last guest. The theme is &amp;quot;dressing in stylish uniforms.&amp;quot; Ria eagerly accepts, imagining Mayu Kozue praising her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - I&#039;m the Star of this Show!|I&#039;m the Star of this Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Ria dreams. On the day of the fashion show, she runs into a Witch. Kyoko Sakura appears in the barrier. Mistaking Kyoko for a fan, Ria tries to show off, but Kyoko tells her to stay out of the way. They fight. Ria leaves the barrier and finds she has missed the show completely. Horrified, she wakes up. It was only a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, she and Asuka Tatsuki arrive to cheer. Asuka reveals she has been practicing for this day. During the event, Asuka cheers for Ria like it is a sports event. Ria knows she means no harm but feels embarrassed, as if Asuka is ruining the event. She wakes up again. Another dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next night, Ria dreams again. On the day of the show, just as she is about to go on stage, the power cuts out. Though it quickly returns, the audience&#039;s enthusiasm has diminished. Ria blames herself for being unable to overcome the outage. She wakes up, realizing she has been dreaming about the show every single night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual day of the show, Ria pinches her cheek to make sure it is real. She stumbles into a Witch barrier, and Kyoko appears just as in her dreams. This time, Ria tells Kyoko she can take the credit for killing the Witch. Ria leaves and meets Asuka and Mayu. When she learns Asuka has practiced cheering, Ria explains that fashion shows have their own etiquette and promises to send her details later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just before Ria&#039;s turn on stage, the power cuts out for real. Ria decides to make it part of the show. She asks the audience to get out their penlights and turn them all on her when she gives the signal. Her improvisation is a complete success, though she wishes she could have shown her perfect walk. She thinks she is feeling the best feeling in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;imalwaysthestar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa====&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls are surprised to learn that Felicia scored fifty-two points on a test, and she asks for a reward. Yachiyo deems her request to go to MooMoo Park too expensive and instead promises a fancy dinner the next day, which satisfies Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story 300 Day Login Event: A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa|300 Day Login Event: A Peaceful Day in Mikazuki Villa]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha discovers that Tsuruno left her phone in the refrigerator and offers to return it while Yachiyo goes to a photo shoot. During breakfast, a commercial for MooMoo Park airs on television.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After breakfast, Felicia shows Sana the park commercial on her phone and admits she still wants to go, so she drags Sana along to catch animals at a riverbank. Meanwhile, Iroha returns Tsuruno&#039;s phone and helps out at her family&#039;s restaurant. At the riverbank, Felicia finds a small turtle, but Ayame Mikuri appears and accuses her of harassment. The two magical girls fight, and Felicia releases the turtle to protect it before running off, leaving Sana behind. Yachiyo finds Sana on her way home and learns what happened, then invites her to lunch. Felicia returns to the house, still angry at Ayame, and takes a nap after lunch. She dreams that the turtle thanks her and promises something at the riverbank, so she wakes and goes out to find it. She returns with a ticket for two to MooMoo Park. The others reveal that Iroha also received a ticket from Tsuruno&#039;s father, and Yachiyo got one at a meat store, so everyone can now go together. The girls happily resolve to visit the park and enjoy their dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;threehundred&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of====&lt;br /&gt;
* An old lady asks Kanagi Izumi for a deli recommendation, and Kanagi suggests the potato soup and meat skewers, knowing the customer&#039;s daughter loves them. When the lady asks if this is truly Kanagi&#039;s last day, Kanagi confirms it and expresses regret at not seeing her again. At the end of her shift, Kanagi thanks her boss and coworkers, who are sad to see her go, but she needs higher pay to support her family and the grocery store cannot match her new job&#039;s wages.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Newbie Maid Carefree Kanagi|Let&#039;s See What You&#039;re Maid Of / Newbie Maid Carefree Kanagi]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives home later than usual due to a going-away party, and her father apologizes for not working enough to provide, though Kanagi is happy to help. He worries about her new job being radically different from her previous work, but Kanagi believes it is worth it since the pay means she can quit her second job and have more free time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi starts her new job at a maid café and impresses her coworker by already having a parfait ready. Despite learning the kitchen pace quickly, the hall is understaffed, and when the manager offers to help, Kanagi replies &amp;quot;Yes, sir!&amp;quot; only to be corrected that the manager prefers to be called &amp;quot;madam.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the rush, the head maid wishes for another maid, and the manager asks Kanagi to try working the floor for a raise. Kanagi&#039;s eyes widen at the salary and she accepts, receiving the maid nickname &amp;quot;Maid Nagitan.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid reviews basics with Kanagi, who feels confident due to her customer service background and sees this as a life-or-death matter to earn more for her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika Kumi, Reira Ibuki, and Mito Aino enter, and Kanagi greets them with a serious look and curt &amp;quot;welcome,&amp;quot; leaving them surprised by her cold, soldier-like demeanor. When Mito asks if she is really a maid, Kanagi introduces herself as Maid Nagitan and shakes Mito&#039;s hand firmly, causing Seika to freeze up. Later, when Reira asks if she will do &amp;quot;the thing&amp;quot; of adding love to the food, Kanagi misinterprets and says she cannot profess love to strangers, leaving the girls let down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At another table, a customer also wants &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; but Kanagi declines, saying she is no liar. The head maid intervenes and reminds Kanagi this is a maid café, explaining their job is creating a fun atmosphere. Kanagi returns to the trio&#039;s table and notices Seika staring, misinterpreting it as a staring contest. They stare at each other until Seika faints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head maid calls Kanagi completely hopeless and explains a maid&#039;s worth comes from tending to others, telling her to return to the kitchen if she cannot take the work seriously. The manager offers a one-week trial period: if Kanagi improves by week&#039;s end, she stays a maid. Kanagi vows to work with every fiber of her being.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Karin Misono finishes reading &amp;quot;Detective Maid Mei&amp;quot; and notices Kanagi slumped on a swing, muttering about what makes a good maid. Karin recognizes her as the boss of the East and, seeing an opportunity for her manga, asks Kanagi to tell her everything. Karin lends her the Detective Maid Mei manga for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Kanagi reads the manga and notes how the maid greets masters warmly, respects their decisions, and lets the master grow when needed. At the end, the maid strikes a pose. Kanagi meets Karin at the park to return the manga and heads to work with Karin tagging along for research.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the café, two boys enter and Kanagi greets them warmly as masters, surprising them with her &amp;quot;cool but kind&amp;quot; demeanor. The head maid smiles at her improvement. Kanagi serves Karin a Lovely Rice Omelet, and when Karin suggests she draw on it with ketchup, Kanagi tries to draw a kirin but it looks like a weird animal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Two more customers arrive, Aimi Eri and Natsuki Utsuho. Kanagi serves them and offers to draw on their omelets, writing Aimi&#039;s crush&#039;s name with hearts on her plate. As she leaves, Karin motions for her, and Kanagi does the manga pose, telling them to let her take care of any problems. At day&#039;s end, the head maid notes Kanagi&#039;s huge improvement but says it is too early to celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The final test begins, and the manager outlines that Kanagi must please the next returning customer, ensuring the master leaves with a smile. The door jingles as Konomi Haruna enters, distressed to find herself in a maid café. Kanagi greets her warmly and shows her to a seat despite the manager&#039;s concern.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi orders the Maid&#039;s Special Herbal Blend after Kanagi&#039;s recommendation, but when Kanagi offers to play a game then arm wrestle, Konomi panics, drinks quickly, pays, and leaves. The manager agrees that Kanagi should return to the kitchen as promised. Kanagi walks home alone, bothered by something beyond the wage cut.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi is back in the kitchen, and the kitchen staff is delighted. At day&#039;s end, the head maid tells her the staff appreciated her return, and Kanagi wonders why no one said they were glad when she worked as a maid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager notices her expression and encourages her to think until she is satisfied with the answer. Kanagi decides to find Konomi and ask what she lacked, recalling her school uniform.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi enters Konomi&#039;s flower shop, and Konomi is shocked. Kanagi asks what she lacked as a maid, but Konomi apologizes for assuming Kanagi was scary due to East-West history. She explains she entered by mistake, but Kanagi was considerate, made a helpful suggestion, and offered to ease her anxiety. It felt like Kanagi was doing it just for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi realizes that is what she was lacking: taking into account what the other person wants and responding to it. At the park, Kanagi reflects that customers come to enjoy the atmosphere and it is her job to consider whether it is worthwhile for them. She berates herself for making masters uncomfortable. Karin finds her and insists she should keep being a maid, offering to talk to the manager. Kanagi smiles and asks for a different favor instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi approaches the manager for a second chance, proposing she serve the same three customers who left when Seika fainted. The manager agrees to let her try. Karin finds Reira and Seika at a park and extends an invitation for them to return so Nagitan can make it up to them. Reira agrees, and Karin hands them invitations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio enters the café with Seika frozen, and Kanagi greets them warmly and shows them to their table. Kanagi serves their omelets, and when Mito asks if they were made with love, Kanagi admits she could not be dishonest but offers to draw with ketchup instead. She gives Mito the bottle to draw while Kanagi draws on Mito&#039;s plate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They play rock-paper-scissors, and Reira explains Seika is very shy and fainted because she had to make eye contact with someone new. Seika&#039;s class is doing a maid café for the school festival and she wanted to do her best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika admits she thought Kanagi was so confident she lost her own confidence. Kanagi points to the head maid as the ideal and explains she herself could never be like that, so she tries her best in her own way, encouraging Seika to find her own style. Seika smiles and asks for a picture. Kanagi agrees if her face is hidden, and before they leave, she does her signature pose and tells Seika to remember it when nervous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The manager calls Kanagi over and offers her the maid position, noting she learned something important. Kanagi says she wants to keep being a maid, not just for the paycheck, but to use what she learned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day at the café, Kanagi serves drinks and poses for pictures with a face mask, her fans cheering. Karin calls for her to do &amp;quot;the thing,&amp;quot; and the café erupts yelling &amp;quot;Nagitan!&amp;quot; Karin and Kanagi walk home, and when Kanagi asks about her manga, Karin realizes she never drew it. Kanagi offers to help, but when Karin asks if she will do the pose, Kanagi reminds her she is off the clock. Karin looks down sadly as Kanagi returns to being serious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;maidof&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia====&lt;br /&gt;
* During the day, Felicia eats Tsuruno&#039;s ice candy without realizing it was hers because she cannot read kanji. Tsuruno reprimands Yachiyo when she learns Yachiyo knew and was preparing to buy a replacement. Yachiyo states it is impossible to guard the fridge constantly. Felicia, overwhelmed with guilt and anger that no one listens to her confession, loses control and flips the kitchen table before locking herself in her room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Felicia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Felicia has a nightmare. She dreams her falling grades caused a huge argument between her parents, who blamed each other for neglecting her. Both ignore her confession and promise to try harder. Her mother storms back to the kitchen to cook. Felicia recalls that a Witch attacked immediately after, killing her parents, and she wakes up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She goes to the kitchen for water, but Iroha is there and points out she looks pale. Iroha tells her to rest and offers to bring water to her room. Felicia loses her temper and storms out of the house. Iroha wakes the others to find her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a park, Felicia hears a voice claiming to be her. The voice pulls her into a barrier, where another Felicia lures her toward a locked box, revealing itself as her Doppel. Felicia nearly opens the box but remembers Yachiyo&#039;s words about some things being best left unknown. Her instincts tell her she is not ready.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She promises her Doppel she will return when she is stronger and hopes it can hold the truth for her. The Doppel accepts and returns to normal. Felicia wakes up at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo inform her they found her unconscious in the park. Felicia tells them about the encounter and her desire to become strong enough to fulfill her promise. Mitama offers a free power-up session to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha recalls they found Felicia releasing her Doppel in the park before losing consciousness. Yachiyo notes this has never happened before. She remembers that Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane once said Doppels are materialized emotions. Yachiyo concludes Felicia carries a heavy burden and tells Iroha to keep this secret until Felicia either realizes it herself or becomes strong enough to handle the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitafelicia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Monogatari Series Collab====&lt;br /&gt;
* Shinobu Oshino, Yotsugi Ononoki, and Mayoi Hachikuji hunt a Witch together. Shinobu begins her dramatic introduction and finishing move, but Yotsugi defeats the Witch with a simple &amp;quot;Hyah&amp;quot; and Mayoi lands the final blow with &amp;quot;Yah.&amp;quot; Shinobu is annoyed at their failure to call out special moves. Shinobu argues that calling out attacks is the essence of being a Magical Girl, but Yotsugi dismisses this as an outdated trope. Shinobu retorts that refusing to act the part is dumb, and Yotsugi reluctantly agrees. Shinobu declares they need training to act more befitting of Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shinobu Oshino in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Shinobu&#039;s Heartphial Story: Shinobu Spells]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shinobu demonstrates by striking a pose and delivering her lines with perfect timing. When Yotsugi tries, her performance is terrible. Shinobu forces her to try again, and Yotsugi reluctantly says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; but finds it unpleasant and refuses to repeat it. Mayoi asks Shinobu to help her come up with lines. After a few stumbles, she declares, &amp;quot;I, Mayoi Hachikuji, hereby condemn those Witches who seek to ravage this earth!&amp;quot; Shinobu finds it charming, and Mayoi admits leaning into the Magical Girl thing is fun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They enter a real Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Mayoi messes up her line again but turns it into an improvised bit while evading attacks. Yotsugi delivers a longer speech and says &amp;quot;Unlimited Rulebook!&amp;quot; landing the attack. Shinobu finishes the Witch with her full finishing move. After the battle, morning comes. Shinobu declares the training will continue, but Yotsugi walks away. Mayoi distracts Shinobu by suggesting breakfast, and Shinobu wants donuts. Yachiyo, out for an early walk, overhears them and decides she wants donuts too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shinobuph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa and helps Yachiyo prepare breakfast. Sana joins them, but when she goes to wake Felicia, she finds Felicia’s room empty and her shoes gone; Felicia’s phone is also out of service. Worried, Yachiyo calls Tsuruno for help, and the group splits up to search the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Monogatari Series Collab Part I: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the search, Iroha’s Soul Gem reacts to a nearby Witch. Inside the labyrinth, they encounter two unfamiliar magical girls who are already fighting the Witch: Mayoi Hachikuji and Shinobu Oshino. After the Witch is defeated, introductions are exchanged. Mayoi and Shinobu explain they are traveling and looking for a lost friend named Yotsugi Ononoki, who has bluish‑green pigtails, a peculiar hat with eyes, and a frilly dress. The two groups exchange phone numbers to help each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Felicia has in fact met Yotsugi. Yotsugi buys her ice cream, and Felicia learns Yotsugi is also traveling. Felicia offers to show Yotsugi around town as thanks, taking her to the shopping street, a spot with cats, and a bench good for naps. Yotsugi finds everything unfamiliar and feels something is off, as if she has buttoned her shirt wrong. She shortens Felicia’s name to “Felly,” which makes Felicia happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha’s group eventually spots Felicia with Yotsugi. When Yachiyo hugs Felicia in relief, Felicia reacts as if she does not know any of them. She remembers Yachiyo only as a famous magical girl, but has no memory of living at Mikazuki Villa. The group realizes Felicia has lost her memories. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive and reunite with Yotsugi. Felicia refuses to go with Iroha’s group, accusing them of being kidnappers. Yotsugi offers a third option: Felicia can join their traveling team. Mayoi warns Felicia that if she chooses to leave with them, she will never return to the home that might be waiting for her. Felicia becomes confused and cries. Iroha proposes they all have dinner together at Mikazuki Villa first, so Felicia can calm down and decide later and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, Felicia asks Yotsugi what she likes to eat. Yotsugi admits a preference for expensive cup ice cream. Felicia awkwardly asks if Yotsugi&#039;s face is always stuck like that, and Yotsugi confirms it is. After arriving, Felicia eagerly tries to get Yotsugi to play video games, serves her extra portions of food, and challenges her to a pillow fight. Yotsugi excuses herself to take a bath, leaving Felicia disappointed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yotsugi Ononoki#Side Story|Yotsugi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Yotsugi Sister]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Felicia apologizes for being clingy, explaining that Yachiyo and the others pulled her aside to warn her. Felicia confesses she had been trying to make Yotsugi smile, assuming she had lost her parents like Felicia did. Yotsugi clarifies that her emotions simply do not show on her face, but she does feel them. She admits playing the game was fun and the food was not bad. Felicia is overjoyed and runs off to brag to everyone. Shinobu and Mayoi, who had been eavesdropping, tease Yotsugi for finding Felicia cute. Yotsugi concedes that Felicia is exhausting, but seeing her face light up from a drop of attention is not unpleasant. She gains newfound respect for all older sisters in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;yotsugiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the villa, Shinobu requests doughnuts for dessert, and the group plays games. Yotsugi helps in the kitchen and notices the chicken meat has a nice springy firmness. During dinner, the group shares memories of how they met Felicia. Felicia still does not remember, but Shinobu points out the stories are too detailed to be lies. Tsuruno suddenly does not remember buying coasters, revealing she may also have amnesia. Yotsugi then shifts the discussion: she reminds Shinobu that she walked in sunlight all day without harm, which should be impossible because Shinobu is actually a vampire. Shinobu’s memories return, and she declares herself the iron‑blooded, hot‑blooded, cold‑blooded vampire king of oddities. Mayoi also gets a headache and remembers she is not human either, and instead she is a snail oddity, a ghost. Yotsugi explains that she has felt uneasy calling herself a magical girl; she suspects this world is not the one she came from, as everything feels slightly different, like two paintings of the same image in different styles. She believes Shinobu, Mayoi, and herself came from another world. They conclude that a Witch may be behind the memory loss and false memories, and decide to hunt Witches the next day. Everyone stays the night at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mayoi plays Old Maid with Tsuruno, Felicia, Yotsugi, and Shinobu. Mayoi wins, but Yotsugi and Shinobu notice she seemed absent-minded. Mayoi asks Yachiyo if she can help with dinner, admitting she always wished she could cook with her mom. Yachiyo agrees and Mayoi joins Iroha and Sana in making dumplings, proving to be a natural. Yotsugi and Shinobu try but fail miserably. Mayoi boasts and declares herself the rightful leader of the little girls, sparking a three-way argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayoi Hachikuji in Magia Exedra#Side Story|Mayoi&#039;s Heartphial Story: Mayoi Home]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno suggests playing a game to decide the leader, and Felicia wants to join. Shinobu insists Iroha must also participate. They play a life simulation board game. Mayoi starts strong but ends up broke and stranded in the Amazon. Iroha wins, and Mayoi declares her the official leader of the little girls, much to Iroha&#039;s confusion. Mayoi feels this has been the most fun she has had in a while, yet she cannot shake an uneasy feeling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After everyone decides to stay over, Yachiyo announces bath time. Mayoi suddenly bolts out of the house, claiming she will take a walk. Iroha chases after her and finds her safe. Mayoi apologizes and explains that the family moment overwhelmed her heart, so she left to do something familiar to settle herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayoi revisits her wish: after her parents&#039; divorce, she wished to go home. Being at Mikazuki Villa makes her feel like her wish has finally come true, yet she senses it is not the home she truly wants to return to. She remembers she is a ghost and wonders where exactly it is she wants to go back to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mayoiph&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After they lay out futons in the living room, Shinobu reveals she is actually over 500 years old, and Mayoi was in fifth grade when she died, now mentally 21. Yotsugi still does not remember what she is. Felicia cannot sleep and goes outside. She sees a Witch appear suddenly, feels her head go foggy, and collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha again helps with breakfast. She feels a strange déjà vu, as if the same conversation has happened before. Sana again reports Felicia is missing. The group searches the town and again encounters Mayoi and Shinobu fighting a Witch. The same exchanges occur, but Iroha’s déjà vu grows stronger.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When they finally find Felicia, she is with Yotsugi and is annoyed that they took so long to show up. Yotsugi addresses Iroha by name without being introduced. Mayoi and Shinobu arrive. Iroha blurts out that everything feels like it has happened before. Yotsugi then explains: this is the second time they have met like this. Everyone suddenly remembers the previous day’s events of the dinner, the revelations about vampires and ghosts, and the time reset. Yotsugi says she felt the air warp after falling asleep, and when she woke up, she was back where she had been before meeting Felicia. Felicia recalls that before the reset, she saw a Witch outside Mikazuki Villa that made her dizzy and erased her memories. The group deduces that Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they discuss how to fight the Witch, Felicia’s stomach growls. They decide to return to the villa for dinner again, saving the battle for the next day. On the way, they stop at a supermarket for a snack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While walking home, a Witch suddenly appears and pulls Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi into a labyrinth. Felicia recognizes it as the same Witch from the reset. The Witch ignores both Iroha and Felicia, focusing all its attacks on Yotsugi. It dodges Felicia’s hammer and lands a clean hit, cutting Yotsugi’s body into pieces. Iroha and Felicia are horrified. As the Witch prepares to strike again, Yotsugi’s voice tells them to keep pretending to be sad. She instructs them to retreat and gather the pieces of her body. They do so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside the labyrinth, Yotsugi puts herself back together as if nothing happened. She reveals that when she took the hit, she regained her true memories. Back at Mikazuki Villa, she explains to everyone: she is a hundred‑year‑old tsukumogami made from a human body, both a doll oddity and a corpse oddity. She has no heart and has always been dead. This is why the Witch’s power of suggestion, which works by influencing emotions, does not affect her as much. She also notes that the Witch let them escape because it was angry at Yotsugi for helping everyone remember the first loop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yotsugi attacks Shinobu. Shinobu blocks the strike. When asked why, Yotsugi coldly says, “Would you mind dying for me real quick?”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc1&#039;/&amp;gt; Yotsugi’s sudden attack on Shinobu was not betrayal but a calculated shock: she remembered that when the Witch cut her into pieces, the trauma restored her own original memories. She reasons that a sufficiently strong physical blow can break through the memory manipulation. Shinobu’s severed leg instantly regenerates as her vampiric powers return, proving the method works. Without warning, Yotsugi then punches Mayoi, knocking her unconscious. When Mayoi wakes, her memories also return, which is triggered by the keyword “lost.” Mayoi explains that their false magical girl powers and wishes were implanted by the Witch, and that they are not inhabitants of this world. She then proposes a new theory: the Kamihama girls did not lose their memories; rather, they come from different points in their own timeline and simply haven’t experienced the shared past yet. Felicia is devastated, fearing she will never have a family again, but Iroha and the others reassure her that in every timeline they will end up together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Monogatari Series Collab: Labyrinth Story|Monogatari Series Collab Part II: Labyrinth Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, after everyone has gone to sleep, Shinobu summons Yotsugi and Mayoi outside. She admits she does not fully trust Iroha’s group, as they could be the Witch’s minions or mere plot devices. She reveals there may be another way to return to their original world, but she does not elaborate immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group splits up to hunt the elusive Witch. They repeatedly enter labyrinths of other Witches, wasting time. Felicia grows increasingly frustrated, nearly charging into unrelated fights. Yachiyo observes that the Witch seems to want them to fight, so any peaceful, fun activity risks a reset, which is why the first reset happened after their happy dinner and games. She concludes that the Witch is like a director forcing them to act out a “magical girls fighting” plot. Iroha suggests they deliberately provoke the Witch by acting against that plot, hoping to lure it out. However, Yotsugi warns that straying too far might trigger another reset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo formally presents her three‑point theory: (1) The Witch did not pursue them when they fled, (2) it never removed their magical girl powers, and (3) the resets happen when they relax instead of fight. Everyone agrees the plan is to provoke the Witch into appearing. Shinobu then insists on going sightseeing the next day, arguing that one more reset will weaken the Witch’s power further. Despite concerns about resetting again, Tsuruno enthusiastically supports the idea, and the group reluctantly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group spends the morning and afternoon touring Kamihama: the radio tower, the school (which they sneak into), an arcade where Yotsugi plays rhythm games with a completely blank expression, and the shopping mall where Shinobu demands to find a donut shop. Tsuruno saves the family restaurant, Banbanzai, for last. As they approach, Iroha, Felicia, and Yotsugi sense the Witch charging straight at them. The familiar dizziness overcomes everyone, and the world resets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Several hours after the reset, Yotsugi again restores everyone’s memories, as her immunity to the Witch’s suggestion means she still remembers everything. The group notes that more people felt déjà vu this time, suggesting the Witch is weakening. That night, Shinobu privately tells Yotsugi and Mayoi her true alternative plan: she will kill the Kamihama magical girls and consume their power, believing that enough strength will allow her to tear open a gate back to their world. Yotsugi and Mayoi agree to help, though Mayoi is conflicted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the town feels eerily deserted. The Witch’s labyrinth is sparse, with only familiars. Following Shinobu’s earlier secret instruction, the group begins shouting insults at the Witch to provoke it. Suddenly, Shinobu strikes Felicia from behind, seemingly killing her. Yachiyo and Tsuruno are horrified. Shinobu, Yotsugi, and Mayoi reveal their betrayal: they intend to slaughter everyone to gain power for a gate home. A brutal fight erupts. Mayoi uses her ability to redirect Yachiyo’s spear attack, causing it to hit Iroha and Sana, who also fall. Tsuruno is overwhelmed, and Yachiyo is mortally wounded. Shinobu stands alone, gloating, but then the “dead” girls suddenly rise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** It was all an act. The group had secretly planned this staged betrayal during the previous night, communicating via handwritten notes to avoid the Witch overhearing. Sana, who makes picture books, wrote the script. The plan had multiple layers: first, they deliberately triggered a second reset by going sightseeing to weaken the Witch; second, they staged a believable in‑fighting scenario to lure the Witch out, because if all the “actors” disappear, the Witch’s story cannot continue. The Witch falls for the trap and appears, enraged by the deception. A full‑scale battle begins. The group coordinates: Iroha and Sana herd familiars for Yotsugi’s “Unlimited Rulebook”; Yachiyo, Shinobu, and Iroha immobilize the Witch; Tsuruno guides Mayoi’s errant drill attack with her flames, piercing the Witch’s front camera. When that does not destroy the labyrinth, Yachiyo and Shinobu realize the front camera was a decoy: the true weak spot is the film at the back. Felicia, launched by Yotsugi like a bullet, smashes the drill deeper, and Yachiyo and Shinobu destroy the film. The labyrinth dissolves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the world fades to mist, Felicia breaks down crying. She does not want this world to end because at Mikazuki Villa she finally felt like she had a family again, and she fears returning to her own timeline where she will be alone. Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Sana hug her, promising that no matter the world or timeline, they will surely live together again. Shinobu, Mayoi, and Yotsugi share an awkward, brief hug, concluding they are not the hugging type. Everyone exchanges farewells. Yotsugi tells Felicia, “I’m glad I met you, Felly.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha wakes up at Mikazuki Villa, yawning. Felicia teases her for sleeping late. Iroha recalls a long, strange dream, both fun and bittersweet, but the details fade upon waking. She only remembers that it was something really special. The day begins again, as if the adventure had never happened, except for the faint warmth left behind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;msc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede dreams of a garden where Momoko and Rena help her harvest fantastical vegetables. When she asks about the cream puff tree, Momoko shows her a basket full. The peace breaks when an apartment complex finishes construction behind them, destroying the garden. Kaede remembers this moment: her father announced a new building would block their sunlight, her mother worried they would lose their garden, and in despair, Kaede wished to stop the construction entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Kaede]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The dream shatters and a shadowy version of Kaede appears, accusing her of always running from difficulty. It reminds her she made her wish without considering the people who would have lived in that building, that she ran from Rena rather than face rejection, that she holds back in marathons and skips hard problems. The shadow urges her to keep running until she finds where she belongs and offers its hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kaede admits everything is true: she is weak and useless. But she insists she wants to stay with Momoko and Rena, the friends who matter to her. She asks her shadow to help her become better little by little. The shadow agrees, promising to watch from the garden of her heart. Kaede wakes at Mitama&#039;s place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains Kaede blacked out during a Witch battle. Kaede remembers hesitating to transform, a Familiar catching her off guard, and Rena crying out. When another Familiar attacked Rena, Kaede recalled a time Momoko was hurt because of her mistake. Believing herself useless, her Soul Gem turned pitch black. Now awake and purified, she chooses not to run. She asks to join Momoko and Rena, who went ahead to hunt the Witch. Mitama sends her off, confident she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitakaede&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holiday Nyaprise!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede asks Mikazuki Villa to watch a lost kitten while her family is away. After Felicia threatens to withhold bedtime hot cocoa, Yachiyo relents and Sana names the cat Gorojirou, or Sir Purrs-a-little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Holiday Nyaprise!|Holiday Nyaprise!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Felicia chases the cat until Sana gives her a toy to lure it instead, and they eventually nap together on the couch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou has grown close to everyone, and Iroha tries taking its picture but accidentally films herself instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Iroha shops, Sana watches the cat and Yachiyo admits she avoided getting attached because Gorojirou is temporary, but resolves to make its stay pleasant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gorojirou chews Felicia&#039;s favorite sticker, and though Felicia is angry, Sana reminds her the cat leaves tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede returns for Gorojirou, and everyone says a tearful goodbye. As they leave, the cat meows at Sana, who cries happily saying goodbye to her new best friend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;goldenweekcampaign&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Magia Clash!====&lt;br /&gt;
* A Mirror copy of Shizuku opens a portal and steps through into a city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Magia Clash! ~Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Detonation~|Magia Clash! ~Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Detonation~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama organizes a magical girl team competition inside the Mirrors labyrinth. Kaede and Iroha greet Nanoha, hoping to talk with her, but Kaede is called away when her match begins. Iroha stays behind and watches with Nanoha instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanoha Takamachi#Side Story|Nanoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hayate, Nanoha, and Fate mistake a Mirror copy&#039;s portal for the warp gate to their tournament and are pulled through before Lindy can stop them. Mitama registers the confused but excited trio for the &amp;quot;First Ultimate Magical Girls Team Battle Mirrors Cup,&amp;quot; and they head to the Standby Zone after learning about the Mirror barrier. Meanwhile, Rena, Momoko, and Kaede struggle against unusually strong Familiars, and when Rena twists her ankle, the Nanoha trio steps in to save them. The groups introduce themselves, with the trio explaining they are from Uminary City while concealing their connection to the Administrative Bureau, and Rena warns them about dangerous Mirror copies that lurk deeper in the barrier.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they observe Team Momoko&#039;s match, Nanoha comments on the fighting styles she sees and notes the variety of magic on display. She explains she was taught magic from an early age and is surprised to learn Iroha and the others gained their powers by making wishes to Kyubey. Iroha describes Kyubey as a white stuffed animal, which reminds Nanoha of her own first teacher, Yuuno. Nanoha shares that she discovered magic in third grade when she heard Yuuno calling for help, and since then she has honed her abilities alongside Fate and Hayate to protect others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks about Nanoha&#039;s device, Raising Heart, and how it can transform. Nanoha explains the device taught her magic step by step and once posed an important question to her: what is the most important thing in a fight? Iroha guesses it is the will to win, but before Nanoha can reveal the true answer, Fate and Hayate return from exploring. Fate requests a sparring match, and Iroha asks to watch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo joins Iroha to observe the fight between Nanoha and Fate. The two exchange blows at maximum speed, with Fate using close-range attacks while Nanoha fights from a distance. The match ends in a tie after a final, explosive clash. Before leaving for a break, Nanoha turns to Iroha and reveals the true answer to Raising Heart&#039;s question: wisdom and tactics. Iroha agrees, especially after witnessing their battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Natsuki is fretting over a lost wallet at the Promise Altar, and Ria offers to help her search since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway. Natsuki apologizes for the trouble, but Ria insists she doesn&#039;t mind and even offers to lend her money. Natsuki refuses the loan but admits she needs money for train fare home. She reluctantly agrees to borrow just enough for the trip and promises to pay Ria back later. Ria asks if Natsuki is sure she doesn&#039;t want to file a report, but Natsuki believes the wallet is simply lost rather than stolen and wants to keep searching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hayate Yagami#Side Story|Hayate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria suggests they retrace Natsuki&#039;s steps and asks where she&#039;s been. Natsuki lists the Promise Altar, the station, the shopping district, and an izakaya where she ate with friends. Ria questions why she went to an izakaya alone, and Natsuki clarifies she was with coworkers. Ria finds it odd that Natsuki was drinking with coworkers and then came to the shrine alone afterwards. Natsuki admits it&#039;s a long story involving a former coworker&#039;s engagement announcement that left her feeling restless. She came to the shrine to think but realized she didn&#039;t have enough money to get home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they search, they run into Masara and Kokoro. Masara bluntly tells Natsuki she probably won&#039;t find it and suggests getting a new student ID. Kokoro gently scolds her for being insensitive and offers to help search. Ria mentions they&#039;ve already looked around the shrine, so Kokoro suggests they expand the search area.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group heads to the shopping district, where they encounter Kanoko. She offers to help search as well, and they all continue looking together. Eventually, Ria asks Natsuki to retrace her exact steps from when she left the izakaya. Natsuki recalls walking to the station, realizing she didn&#039;t want to go home yet, and coming to the shrine. Ria points out that she would have needed her wallet to pay the izakaya bill, so she definitely had it after leaving. Natsuki confirms this and remembers using her train pass at the station before changing her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria concludes the wallet must be somewhere between the station turnstiles and the shrine, but they&#039;ve already searched that route thoroughly. Kanoko suggests Natsuki might have dropped it somewhere else without realizing, like when she pulled out her phone. Natsuki&#039;s eyes light up, and she admits she did take out her phone at the station to check something. She just can&#039;t remember what she did with her wallet after that. Ria proposes they split up to cover more ground, and everyone agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that evening, Natsuki returns home defeated and exhausted. Her father calls out to her, and when she enters the living room, she finds her wallet sitting on the table. Her mother found it in the shopping district and a kind stranger turned it in. Natsuki&#039;s relief quickly turns to panic when she remembers she borrowed money from Ria, and now she has no way to contact her. She considers calling Kokoro but realizes she doesn&#039;t have her number either. She decides to go back to the Promise Altar the next day to hopefully find Ria there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Natsuki returns to the Promise Altar and is relieved to spot Ria. She excitedly explains that her wallet was found and immediately tries to repay the loan. Ria accepts the money but notices Natsuki seems troubled about something else. Natsuki admits she&#039;s been thinking about her former coworker&#039;s engagement and how she handled the situation. Ria offers to listen if Natsuki wants to talk, but Natsuki says she&#039;d rather not burden her further. Ria insists it&#039;s no trouble since she&#039;s waiting for Kanagi anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki explains that her former coworker Yukari got engaged and announced it at a gathering. Natsuki congratulated her happily, but another coworker named Ootori made some passive-aggressive comments about how Yukari managed to find someone before her. Later, Ootori apologized to Natsuki for her behavior, but Natsuki feels she should have defended Yukari in the moment. She feels guilty for not speaking up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria asks why she feels responsible for defending Yukari. Natsuki admits it&#039;s because Yukari was always kind to her when she first started the job, and she feels she failed to repay that kindness. Ria points out that Natsuki did congratulate Yukari sincerely, and that was probably what mattered most to her in that moment. Natsuki realizes Ria is right and thanks her for the perspective.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Just then, Kanagi arrives, and Ria prepares to leave. Before going, she offers Natsuki her contact information so she can reach out if she ever needs to talk again. Natsuki gratefully accepts, and the two part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hayatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During a break in the Mirrors tournament, Fate, Nanoha, and Hayate encounter a copy of Fate that proves too powerful for them to handle alone. Felicia, Kako, and Ayame appear to help, and together they defeat the copy. When Felicia asks what they&#039;re doing there, Fate admits they got lost. The Kamihama girls learn the trio is from out of town and younger than them, but they quickly become friends and head back to the standby zone together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Fate T. Harlaown#Side Story|Fate&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group somehow gets roped into a dodgeball game, with teams forming spontaneously among the tournament participants. Fate proves to be exceptionally athletic, leading her team through multiple rounds against increasingly competitive opponents. After defeating Momoko&#039;s team, they face a martial arts team featuring Akira, Meiyui, and Asuka, which Fate also wins. Tsuruno, refusing to let age be a barrier, recruits Masara and Natsuki for a final match against Fate&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match comes down to a intense showdown between Fate and Tsuruno, both catching and returning each other&#039;s throws with increasing speed and power. Fate ultimately outmaneuvers Tsuruno by throwing to Nanoha and leaping into the air for the winning strike. Everyone celebrates the friendly tournament and the new friendships formed across different cities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;fatess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the tournament progresses, Team Nanoha easily advances through early rounds with Fate&#039;s incredible speed, though Momoko notices Hayate and Nanoha have yet to reveal their full power. Elsewhere, Mitama learns that Momoko announced her team would break up if they lost not because Kaede is useless but to show their conviction, though both Kaede and Rena had doubts. The tournament continues until four teams remain, with Team Momoko advancing to the finals through clever strategy and Team Nanoha defeating Team Masara to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The final match begins with Fate and Rena clashing in a battle of speed that seemingly knocks both out, leaving Nanoha and Hayate to face Momoko and Kaede. Hayate fuses with Reinforce Zwei and unleashes Ragnarok to take out Kaede, then joins Nanoha against Momoko, who withstands Nanoha&#039;s Starlight Breaker as both girls stand exhausted. Before a winner can be decided, Lindy contacts Nanoha with an emergency: a fugitive illegally opened a rift between worlds, and the Mirror copy of Shizuku appears nearby, having used her powers to connect the Mirror labyrinth to Uminary City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The copy stole the tournament&#039;s grand prize, a special orb that exponentially increases magical power, and the girls call off the match to track her down. Team Nanoha and Team Momoko catch the copy, but after they defeat her, copies of Hayate, Fate, and Nanoha appear and swallow the broken orb pieces, gaining immense power. All the Magical Girls unite to take down the powered-up copies, and through combined efforts they finally delete the magical signatures. With the tunnel between worlds about to collapse, Mitama declares both teams winners, and the girls exchange heartfelt goodbyes before the Nanoha trio returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day in Kamihama, Kaede realizes her texts to Hayate no longer go through, Momoko cannot reach Nanoha or Fate, and Rena cannot find Uminary City on any map. Mitama and Shizuku conclude the girls must have come from a different world entirely, since they needed a space tunnel to travel rather than a simple train ride. Though Kaede is sad they may never meet again, Rena is grateful for the friendship they formed, and the three resolve to work hard for a future rematch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;magiaclash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Asuka finds herself in a cloud-filled void facing a shadowy version of herself who claims to be the hidden part of Asuka&#039;s heart. The shadow declares Asuka is no longer fit to practice Ryushin-ryu because her blade has been sullied by contracting as a Magical Girl. When Asuka protests, the shadow recounts how Asuka wished for her cousin to become a police officer after his dreams were jeopardized by their uncle&#039;s arrest, arguing that twisting fate with magic was selfish and wrong. The shadow insists that with her heart no longer true, Asuka walks a false path and should abandon her school, urging her to die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Asuka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her despair, Asuka remembers her father&#039;s words about asking her own heart what is right, like water filling a square bowl. She tells the shadow that perceptions of right and wrong can change with the situation, and though she cannot refute the shadow&#039;s claims, she knows her heart believed her actions were just. Believing words alone cannot reach the shadow, Asuka challenges her to a fight to prove her blade&#039;s strength reflects her sincere heart. The shadow warns that slaying her means slaying herself, but Asuka declares she fears being untrue to herself more than death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their swords clash, and after a long battle, the shadow succumbs to Asuka&#039;s attack and acknowledges her blade was as pure as her heart. The shadow warns she may return in a different form if Asuka&#039;s heart becomes stained again, then vanishes. Asuka awakens near a pond deep in the forest, where she had gone to meditate as part of her training. She remembers the shadow&#039;s promise and considers asking Mitama what it all meant, but feels her father&#039;s words have been engraved in her more deeply now. With her resolve unwavering, she runs back to the dojo, taking a straight path out of the woods.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaasuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka====&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka awakens to find herself in a strange, cloud-filled void. A shadowy copy of herself appears, introducing itself as the part of her she has suppressed deep within her heart. The shadow urges Nanaka to end her pursuit of vengeance, calling it a fruitless endeavor that changes nothing. Nanaka refuses, explaining that the act of revenge itself holds meaning for her, not the result. The shadow questions where vengeance has led her: a life of constant danger in an endless struggle against Witches. Nanaka admits there is nothing to gain from her actions, but her conviction remains unshakable. The shadow then accuses Nanaka of dragging Akira, Kako, and Meiyui into her vengeance, using them to fulfill her goals. Nanaka acknowledges this truth but insists she would never throw their lives away. She believes fate brought them together to fight a common enemy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Nanaka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka recalls the moments before she lost consciousness. Her team had cornered a Witch, but it disappeared and reappeared near a weakened Kako. Nanaka leaped in to shield her, and Akira and Meiyui joined the fight. The shadow suggests Nanaka protected Kako to redeem herself, but Nanaka denies this. The shadow warns it will continue watching from the depths of her heart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka awakens to find her teammates standing over her, relieved she is alive. The Witch is defeated. Nanaka tells Kako not to worry about anything, as they are teammates. Meiyui finds her choice of words unusual, but Akira insists Nanaka see Mitama for a checkup. Kako thanks Nanaka for protecting her. Nanaka smiles, thinking to herself that each of them is their own flower, supporting one another through their shared fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitananaka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Curry House CoCo ICHIBANYA Collaboration====&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha announces that a cafe Yachiyo frequents has opened a new location near Mikazuki Villa, and the group decides to visit on opening day. They arrive to find it is actually a Curry House CoCo Ichibanya, and Yachiyo passionately explains the menu options as they wait for the store to open.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Curry House CoCo ICHIBANYA Collaboration|Curry House CoCo ICHIBANYA Collaboration / Ichi Curry and 10 Spices Crisis]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the store opens early, the employee announces they cannot open today due to a missing delivery truck carrying ingredients. The employee breaks down in tears, explaining her family came to see her first store opening. The group notices magical energy emanating from the store and decides to help find the truck, promising to return for curry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They investigate at the last store the truck visited. The employee there confirms the truck is missing but provides spare ingredients and explains that stores support each other in times of trouble. The group splits into two teams: one to gather ingredients from other stores, and one to trace the truck&#039;s route. During coordination, they learn a second CoCoIchi truck has also gone missing on the same road.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While gathering ingredients, Tsuruno&#039;s group encounters a lost, hungry girl who flees upon hearing CoCoIchi and nearly crashes into Sana. Afterward, Sana realizes the employee at the new store could see her despite her invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s group follows the road where both trucks disappeared and finds a Witch&#039;s barrier. Inside, they find both trucks and their drivers. Iroha and Ui engage the Witch&#039;s familiars while Yachiyo secures the drivers. Iroha realizes the Witch is targeting the cargo, so she throws curry ingredients at it, causing the Witch to abandon the fight and allowing them to defeat it easily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno calls with urgent news that the store employee is a Magical Girl, her missing little sister is also a Magical Girl, and she has not been able to contact her since yesterday. The group fears the curry-loving Witch they just defeated was the sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the new store, where the employee is preparing their reward curry. Before Iroha can confess, a girl rushes in calling for her sister. It is the employee&#039;s little sister, alive and well. The group realizes the Witch was simply a curry-loving Witch unrelated to the sister. They finally sit down to enjoy the promised curry together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;curry&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui====&lt;br /&gt;
* Meiyui&#039;s family is helping organize a local event when a stranger stabs one of their members and flees, dropping a badge. Meiyui chooses to tend to the victim rather than give chase, despite his protests that she is being too soft.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Meiyui]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many in the organization want revenge, but Meiyui refuses, not wanting to return to their old ways as an evil organization. The members are reluctant to involve the police due to being falsely accused of murder three years prior. Meiyui had contracted with Kyubey back then to expose the truth with her wish, but lingering distrust remains.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui goes alone to track the culprit. The dropped badge leads her to an abandoned company tied to illegal labor her family had helped shut down. After defeating a stray Witch, she is ambushed and kidnapped by a man with a taser.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She wakes handcuffed alongside about ten others. The kidnappers reveal the badge was a trap to lure her. They include a former police officer who had fabricated evidence against her family and associates of the real murderer from that case, all blaming the Blue Seas for ruining their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her Soul Gem is heavily tainted from the Witch fight, and she begins hearing her Doppel&#039;s voice. In a cloudy void, her shadow self insists she should have killed these enemies when she had the chance, arguing her organization cannot survive without dirtying their hands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Meiyui struggles to stay conscious, she uses her last energy to beg the culprits to leave her family alone, insisting they are not a bad group. The stabber dismisses her pleas and suggests killing her as a warning instead. Her Doppel mocks her, saying evil people will always exist no matter how sincerely she tries to live righteously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, her organization members arrive to rescue her. The stabbed victim is among them, now grateful Meiyui had stayed to help him instead of chasing revenge. He admits he used to believe abandoning burdens was the way of the world, but facing death alone showed him he was wrong. He is alive because of Meiyui&#039;s strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hearing this, Meiyui&#039;s mind clears. In the void, her Doppel asks if she is ready to kill them, but Meiyui rejects violence entirely. The Doppel submits, allowing her to put everyone in the area to sleep without bloodshed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The police soon arrive after the kidnapper, persuaded by Meiyui, confesses over the phone. They find several family members asleep everywhere and note a look of complete relief on Meiyui&#039;s sleeping face.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitameiyui&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Little Bird&#039;s Star====&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe and other Black Feathers are in Fendt Hope, commiserating about their weakness. A White Feather had to bail them out after they were followed by a Witch while delivering a parcel from Mitama&#039;s shop. They discuss Yachiyo Nanami, a veteran Magical Girl who destroys Uwasas.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu and Nemu emerge from a room arguing. Nemu dismisses Mifuyu and approaches the Black Feathers with a request. She asks them to investigate the &amp;quot;Uwasa of the Jealous Coward,&amp;quot; also called the &amp;quot;Green-Eyed Coward.&amp;quot; Kuroe hesitates but agrees when Nemu insists she has the aptitude.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group investigates an area with many students but cannot find the Uwasa. The other Black Feathers leave for personal commitments. Kuroe stays, feeling she has nothing to return to. The Uwasa manifests when Kuroe expresses envy toward the other girls&#039; normal lives. Two Black Feathers are knocked unconscious. Nemu is satisfied with the results and tasks Kuroe with investigating more Uwasas starting tomorrow. Kuroe protests but Nemu leaves before she can refuse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Memoria 1743.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The Amane twins, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo, meet Kuroe at Fendt Hope and they begin investigating Uwasas in Sakae Ward but find nothing. They move to Hokuyo Ward. Kuroe notices a missing cat poster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They sense Yachiyo&#039;s group nearby and flee. Yachiyo and Iroha corner Kuroe. The twins escape. Yachiyo interrogates Kuroe. An Uwasa resembling Kuroe appears and attacks, then disappears. Yachiyo accuses Kuroe of controlling it. Kuroe insists she had no knowledge of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo decides to take Kuroe camping to monitor her. At the campground, the Amane twins briefly contact Kuroe and say they will consult Nemu, so Kuroe resolves to wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe helps Iroha gather firewood. Iroha is scared by a caterpillar and Kuroe removes it. Kuroe introduces herself by name. She helps the group set up their tent and prepare lunch, using skills learned from Wings of Magius training. She reminds herself not to get drawn into their warm atmosphere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mentions a waterfall power spot. Kuroe offers to get water. Iroha accompanies her. They get lost. A woman helps Kuroe find the waterfall and gives her an empty bottle. The woman explains the place is her personal power spot for resetting her mind. Kuroe wishes she had strength to face the future. The Uwasa appears and attacks the woman. Iroha arrives and finds the woman unconscious. Kuroe begs Iroha for help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe carries the unconscious woman back to the campsite. The Amane twins inform her that Nemu says she is possessed by the Uwasa and should stay with Yachiyo&#039;s group. Yachiyo warns that if more casualties occur, she will destroy the Uwasa. Iroha suggests keeping Kuroe for observation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group participates in a stamp rally and Iroha and Kuroe pair up. They discover they are both from Takarazaki. Iroha explains she moved to Kamihama to find her missing sister. Suddenly, a Witch appears and Kuroe and Iroha fight it together. Kuroe acts as a decoy while Iroha defeats the Witch. Kuroe feels inadequate compared to Iroha&#039;s courage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe asks for time alone and she reflects on her fears and envy. The Uwasa appears again, resembling Kuroe. The group fights it and Iroha urges Kuroe to destroy the Uwasa. Kuroe admits she is afraid she cannot be herself, so she and Iroha destroy the Uwasa together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Amane twins inform Kuroe they must report the Uwasa&#039;s destruction, yet Kuroe does not regret it. Iroha asks to talk with Kuroe and Yachiyo offers them tea. Kuroe admits she feels safe with the Wings of Magius because they represent hope for her. Iroha accepts this and Kuroe tells Iroha she wants to be like her someday. They part ways.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe finds the missing cat and returns it to its owner, who is overjoyed. Kuroe realizes she saved someone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe reports to Nemu and Mifuyu. Nemu reveals the Uwasa summons itself based on dissatisfaction and envy. Nemu admits she expected Yachiyo&#039;s group to handle an accident with the Uwasa. However, Nemu is satisfied that she now has more research on fusing Uwasa with Magical Girls, however Mifuyu warns Nemu not to experiment on the Feathers. Kuroe realizes that even the Magius are imperfect and she reflects on her long day. She resolves to do her best, one step at a time, and hopes to see Iroha again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;littlebirdsstar&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wednesday, the 7th==&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia and Sana decide to buy matching coasters as a gift for Yachiyo, to show their appreciation, and after some searching, they find a suitable set.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 6: The Memories that Speak of the Truth|Chapter 6: The Memories that Speak of the Truth]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 8th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the plan to present the gift is interrupted when Mifuyu Azusa arrives at the villa before Yachiyo returns home. The girls&#039; plan was for Iroha to wait inside while the others came from outside to surprise Yachiyo. Mifuyu prepares tea and reveals one of the two mugs on the top shelf, which Yachiyo forbade Iroha from using, belongs to her. Mifuyu invites Iroha to a lecture hosted by the Wings of the Magius to explain their goal of &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls. The lecture is scheduled for two days later at the Memory Museum and Iroha agrees to investigate the Rumor about the museum first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo returns home and is visibly distressed to find Mifuyu there. Mifuyu leaves, asking Iroha to inform the others about the lecture. Before finally leaving, Mifuyu returns to speak to Yachiyo privately. She references a &amp;quot;promise&amp;quot; they made a year ago, and accuses Yachiyo of returning to her old ways. Yachiyo insists her relationship with Iroha and the others is &amp;quot;just cooperating.&amp;quot; Yachiyo retreats to her room without receiving the coasters. That night, Yachiyo reflects on her past, resolving to return to the person she once was.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 9th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the lecture, Iroha is unable to give Yachiyo the coasters due to Yachiyo&#039;s low spirits. Iroha discusses her plan to attend the Wings of the Magius lecture with Madoka Kaname via text. Iroha then attempts to investigate the Rumor of the Memory Museum. Yachiyo claims no knowledge of it and leaves for school. Iroha and Momoko ask Mitama, who refuses to share information to maintain her neutrality. After the visit, Mitama has a separate conversation with Momoko about Momoko&#039;s own secret, advising her to tell her friends the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede and Rena help Iroha by summoning the creature that recites the Rumor of the Memory Museum, which allows people to view researched memories. Tsuruno&#039;s father provides the location of the similar-sounding &amp;quot;Kamihama Memorial Museum.&amp;quot; That evening, Yachiyo refuses to join the investigation, reiterating that her relationship with the others is strictly professional, which saddens Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Saturday, the 10th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the lecture, Yachiyo again refuses to go to the museum and Iroha, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana go to the Kamihama Memorial Museum without her. There, they are greeted by Touka Satomi, who reveals herself as one of the three Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently at Mikazuki, Yachiyo, haunted by memories of past friends, decides she must investigate the Memory Museum herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Touka throne 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka Satomi gives them a lecture titled &amp;quot;The Truth Behind Magical Girls.&amp;quot; She presents three key items through illustrative stories:&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 1: Soul Gems. A story reveals that a Soul Gem is a Magical Girl&#039;s actual soul. Using magic consumes this life force, and if the gem shatters, the Magical Girl dies. Touka uses an analogy of an internal vs. external battery to explain Soul Gems and Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 2: Witches. A second story demonstrates that when a Magical Girl&#039;s Soul Gem becomes fully corrupted, she transforms into a Witch. This revelation traumatizes Felicia, who realizes the Witches she has been killing were once Magical Girls and that she herself is destined to become one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Item 3: Doppels. A third story explains that in Kamihama City, a fully corrupted Soul Gem can manifest a &amp;quot;Doppel&amp;quot; instead of a Witch. The Wings of the Magius present this as the key to &amp;quot;freeing&amp;quot; Magical Girls from their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* To prove their claims, Touka and Mifuyu Azusa activate the Memory Museum&#039;s Rumor. Mifuyu presents a book containing her own memories, inviting the group to witness the truth of the lecture firsthand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo arrives at the museum and confronts Touka. She is shown into the memory dimension where Iroha and the others are and Mifuyu activates the Rumor, forcing the group to relive her memories. The memories depict Yachiyo&#039;s former team, Mikazuki Villa:&lt;br /&gt;
** The first memory shows Kanae Yukino sacrificing herself to reveal a Witch&#039;s weakness. Her uninjured body is found next to her shattered Soul Gem, proving the Soul Gem is the Magical Girl&#039;s life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second memory shows Mel Anna using too much magic to protect Yachiyo. With no Grief Seed to purify her fully corrupted Soul Gem, Mel transforms into a Witch before the team&#039;s eyes, confirming Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The third memory shows Mifuyu&#039;s despair six months after Mel&#039;s death, causing her Soul Gem to corrupt fully. Instead of becoming a Witch, she manifests a Doppel. Touka then appears and recruits her into the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno is consumed by guilt over Mel&#039;s death, believing her absence that day was the cause. Felicia is horrified, realizing the Witches she killed were Magical Girls and Sana is terrified but feels powerless to change the system. Touka and Mifuyu use this emotional vulnerability to press their recruitment offers to each girl, promising a world where these tragedies are impossible and even suggesting Sana could be freed from her wish of invisibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo reject the offer to join and Yachiyo compares the Magius&#039; methods to Kyubey&#039;s, accusing them of exploiting weaknesses. Yachiyo then announces she is disbanding their team, which Iroha protests, but Yachiyo insists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka reveals that Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana have been brainwashed and now serve the Wings of the Magius. Alina Gray arrives and traps Iroha and Yachiyo within her Labyrinth and leaves them to face a Witch. As they fight the Witch, Yachiyo reiterates her decision to disband the team and work alone. She reveals her wish was &amp;quot;I want to survive,&amp;quot; and explains that she interprets this as a curse: the power to survive by sacrificing her teammates, based on the last words of her former comrades, Kanae and Mel, who both died while she lived. Yachiyo believes that to protect Iroha, she must sever their partnership.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha rejects Yachiyo&#039;s conclusion. She declares she will defeat the Uwasa alone to prove Yachiyo&#039;s &amp;quot;curse&amp;quot; is not real and that she can protect Yachiyo. Iroha states she is angry that Yachiyo made this decision for everyone and vows to rescue their brainwashed friends. She defeats the Witch and rejects Yachiyo&#039;s belief in a cursed wish and declares herself the new leader to nullify its perceived effect. Yachiyo relents and agrees to work with Iroha to save their friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the same time, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, having detected Mami&#039;s magic while investigating Kamihama, investigate the closed Kamihama Recording Museum. They are attacked by the Wings of the Magius. While Madoka and Homura hold them off, Sayaka proceeds and witnesses Mami, transformed into &amp;quot;Holy Mami,&amp;quot; attacking Iroha and Yachiyo. It is here that Sayaka learns the horrific truth that Magical Girls become Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 6: Confrontation with Fate|Another Story Chapter 6: Confrontation with Fate]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, now a brainwashed member of the Wings of the Magius, confronts them. As Iroha and Yachiyo are too injured to fight, Sayaka Miki arrives and intervenes. Sayaka uses a bomb from Homura to create a diversion, allowing the three to escape.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After their escape, Sayaka gives Iroha a Grief Seed. Iroha explains the truth about Witches and the Wings of the Magius to Sayaka, who is horrified. Sayaka leaves to process this information and Iroha and Yachiyo walk home in silence to reflect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After fleeing the museum, Sayaka reunites with Madoka and Homura, defeats their pursuers in a distraught state, and explains what happened to Mami to them, as well as the truth about becoming Witches.The group returns to Mitakihara in silence but Madoka resolves to find a way to avoid their fate and to save Mami. Sayaka agrees to fight back as well and later decides to meet with Kyoko Sakura.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, at Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo reaffirm their commitment to save their friends and Momoko arrives, having told the secret of Magical Girls to Rena and Kaede. Yachiyo also apologizes for her actions and explains her fears about her wish. Momoko forgives her and reaffirms their friendship. Iroha then receives a text from Madoka, who promises to come to Kamihama to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Sayaka meets Kyoko and reveals the truth about Witches. Kyoko deduces this is what the Wings of the Magius meant by &amp;quot;saving&amp;quot; Magical Girls. Kyoko declares she will find a way to avoid becoming a Witch and confront the Wings of the Magius alone, rejecting Sayaka&#039;s offer of help. Despite Sayaka&#039;s protests, Kyoko leaves to operate solo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo has a box containing belongings left behind by her friends Kanae and Mel. She has never opened it. She spends the day staring at it but cannot bring herself to open it. Iroha arrives and asks about the box. Yachiyo explains its contents and admits her hesitation. They remember they need to visit Mitama, so Yachiyo decides to deal with the box later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitairoyachi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s place, the girls offer payment for adjustments. Mitama worries about Yachiyo&#039;s emotional state and suggests she clear up her issues with the box before proceeding. Yachiyo tells her to mind her own business. Mitama offers to adjust both girls together, which is unusual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the adjustment, Yachiyo is confronted by a shadowy doppelganger that represents her fear. The shadow forces her to confront her guilt over Kanae and Mel&#039;s deaths and her fear of the future. Yachiyo admits she is afraid but refuses to give in to despair. She resolves to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The shadow disappears. Iroha appears and stays with Yachiyo. Kanae and Mel appear and bid Yachiyo goodbye, encouraging her to head toward the future. Yachiyo awakens and Mitama reveals she adjusted them together out of concern, for which Yachiyo thanks her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Mikazuki, Yachiyo finally opens the box. Kanae left a book of lyrics. Mel left a fortune telling prophecy about a circle of Magical Girls gathering in Kamihama and a star falling near Yachiyo. Upon reading this, Yachiyo cries. Iroha suggests they head into the future together. Yachiyo agrees, stating they first need to get back Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha resolves to find her lost friends and mentally tells Ui to wait a bit longer. Iroha and Yachiyo finish cleaning their house. Iroha resolves to give the coasters she and the others bought for Yachiyo when everyone is reunited. Iroha says she sent a message to Madoka in Mitakihara City, but hasn&#039;t gotten a response.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 7: The Eve of Awakening to Paradise|Chapter 7: Awakening to Paradise]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Immediately after Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana are taken, Mifuyu reports to Touka and Alina that the brainwashing on the three is holding, so Touka selects Tsuruno for a mission, which Alina states will involve &amp;quot;mass murder.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in her room, Iroha thinks back to when she celebrated Christmas with her friends, but resolves to keep going with her mission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sunday, the 11th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo investigate the Kamihama Rumor Files at Mikazuki Villa. Iroha recognizes some of the Rumors. They meet with Momoko, who mentions Tsuruno&#039;s perfect school attendance record is now broken and that a new amusement park is also opening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo visit Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant and her father reveals Tsuruno and Felicia visited once. Tsuruno told him she found a place where she feels safe and would not return and he notes her expression was blank, similar to how she looked a year ago after Mel&#039;s death. Afterwards, a White Feather ambushes Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will be used for a mission like Tsuruno, and the two fight off the attacker.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Likely on this day, Yachiyo pulls out a box containing what her former friends Kanae Yukino and Mel Anna left behind. She has never opened it since filling it and spends the entire day staring at it, unable to lift the lid. When Iroha arrives and asks about it, Yachiyo explains and admits she is trying to work through her feelings. Iroha offers to help, but Yachiyo deflects, reminding her they were supposed to visit Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Iroha and Yachiyo]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls visit Mitama Yakumo and present Grief Seeds as payment for adjustment. Mitama is surprised by the offering and promises to do her best, but she expresses concern about Yachiyo&#039;s emotional state. She suggests Yachiyo clear up her issues with the box before moving forward and offers to adjust both girls at once as a special exception.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Mitama works on her, Yachiyo finds herself in a gray room confronted by a shadowy doppelganger. The shadow accuses her of being afraid of the future and clinging to the past. When Yachiyo refuses to give in to despair, the shadow transforms into her doppel, but she stands firm, accepting her fear while choosing to move forward. Iroha appears beside her, and together they bid farewell to visions of Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo awakens and realizes Mitama adjusted them together intentionally, trusting Iroha could help her if needed. She thanks Mitama for looking out for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at her house, Yachiyo finally opens the box with Iroha beside her. Inside, Kanae left a book of lyrics about becoming a circle with others, and Mel left fortune telling impressions predicting a future where many magical girls would gather in Kamihama. Yachiyo cries as she reads their words. Iroha suggests they head toward that gentle future together. Yachiyo agrees but says first they need to get back their own three points: Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamairoyachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Monday, the 12th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Iroha and Yachiyo devise a plan to destroy Rumors across Kamihama to lure out the Wings of the Magius and locate their base. They share this plan with Momoko, who offers to help by getting Grief Seeds for them while they hunt. Momoko then goes to check on Kaede, who is hiding in her room. She hugs Kaede and tells her she and Rena will always be there to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo systematically hunt Rumors like the &amp;quot;Historical Battle Marker,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Castle Town Illusion,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Headless Biker Gang,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Puzzle Tiles Lock,&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;Fashion Monster.&amp;quot; They also interrogate captured Feathers, but none reveal information about Tsuruno, Felicia, or Sana&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Momoko investigates a rapidly spreading rumor about a new amusement park. She notes it originated in the east and spread west through Sakae, Mizuna, and Shinsei Wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha and Yachiyo analyze the Kamihama Rumor Files, marking all known Rumor locations on a map. They identify a pattern: Rumors cluster more densely in Shinsei Ward, with a notable concentration around Satomi Medical Center, the hospital where Ui was supposedly treated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They travel to the hospital area and are ambushed by Feathers. Felicia and Sana, who had broken free of the brainwashing, arrive and help fight off the attackers. The four Magical Girls reunite and Felicia and Sana reveal they pretended to be brainwashed to gather information. Momoko confirms the amusement park rumor spread from east to west and will open at dawn in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Sana explain to Yachiyo and Iroha that Mifuyu used her illusion magic to break their brainwashing. Mifuyu revealed the Magius are protecting and strengthening Witches for their liberation plan and are planning to use the brainwashed Magical Girls to cross a dangerous line. Mifuyu attempted to free Tsuruno but failed, as Tsuruno&#039;s reason for being brainwashed was different. Mifuyu then helped Felicia and Sana escape but chose to remain behind, stating they would be enemies next time they meet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko arrives and shares her investigation into a new Rumor about an amusement park opening at dawn in two days. She confirms it spread from the east, and the group overlays the Rumor locations on a map and identifies a pattern suggesting a source or &amp;quot;eye of the storm&amp;quot; in the eastern wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kanagi screenshot.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo decides to contact Kanagi Izumi, the powerful Magical Girl who controls the eastern Daito and Kosho Wards and is a former rival of hers. Kanagi agrees to an alliance, and during their call, Tsukasa of the Wings of the Magius arrives at Kanagi&#039;s location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tuesday, the 13th== &lt;br /&gt;
* The morning, Felicia and Sana try to accompany Iroha and Yachiyo but are told to rest due to their collapse the previous night. Iroha and Yachiyo leave them behind. Meanwhile in Kosho Ward, Iroha, Yachiyo, Momoko, and Kanagi meet and Kanagi agrees to ally with them against the Wings of the Magius. They combine their Rumor data on a map, which reveals a circular pattern with a vacant center in Kosho Ward and Kanagi identifies the old railway yard as the likely location of the Wings&#039; base.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After learning the truth about Witches, Madoka questions Kyubey about a way to avoid becoming a Witch. Kyubey states he knows of no method and reveals he cannot enter Kamihama City himself. He proposes an alliance to investigate the Wings of the Magius but Madoka refuses to promise cooperation. She resolves to return to Kamihama with her friends, but then a Witch from Kamihama appears in Mitakihara.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 7: If We Could All Share with Each Other|Another Story Chapter 7: If We Could All Share with Each Other]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura defeat the Kamihama Witch. They share Grief Seeds and note the alarming appearance of foreign Witches in their city. The trio resolves to go to Kamihama the next day to find answers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Around this time, Kyoko successfully infiltrates the Wings of the Magius. She is assigned to a team tasked with dealing with a group that erases Rumors, which she suspects is Iroha&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s group travels to the railway yard but finds it empty. They are ambushed by Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane, who summon Witches and during the battle, Kanagi uses her unique power to read Iroha&#039;s true intentions and confirms her sincerity. Kanagi then joins the fight and helps defeat the Amane sisters and their Black Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi uses her power on the defeated Amane sisters to read their minds and she learns that Tsuruno is still completely brainwashed and has become part of an Uwasa to protect it. She also learns Tsuruno&#039;s location is at the Ferris Wheel Field in Daito Ward and the group prepares to move out immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Sana and Felicia wait anxiously and Yachiyo calls them with an update.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Rena visits Kaede at her house, and after an argument involving slapping and pinching, Kaede reconciles with Rena and agrees to return to school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team arrives in Daito Ward, where Yachiyo and Iroha plan to enter the &amp;quot;amusement park&amp;quot; Rumor to save Tsuruno, while Felicia, Sana, Momoko, and Kanagi hold off the Wings of the Magius. The group locates the Rumor&#039;s entrance and Kanagi and Momoko stay behind to fight the Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo proceed and confront Alina, Touka, and Mifuyu, where Alina declares her intent to erase them. During the battle, Mifuyu secretly tells Yachiyo that destroying the main Uwasa will kill Tsuruno, and that they must instead tear the Uwasa from her by connecting with her heart. Mifuyu also reveals Tsuruno is in a Ferris wheel car.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101705 uwasatsuruno.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo enter the Rumor, &amp;quot;Chelation Land,&amp;quot; which induces a hazy, thoughtless state. They find Tsuruno, who has fully merged with the Uwasa and acts as the park&#039;s host. Tsuruno tries to force them to relax and stay, serving them hotpot in mugs reminiscent of Mikazuki Villa, but they refuse and attempt to reason with Tsuruno, and she attacks them. Following Mifuyu&#039;s advice, they combine their magic to tear the Uwasa from Tsuruno in one powerful strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nemu02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After Tsuruno is freed from the Uwasa, Yachiyo realizes that Tsuruno&#039;s cheerful demeanor was a facade to hide her pain and guilt over past events, including the death of Mel. The team defeats the main Uwasa of Chelation Land and the Magius, Touka, Nemu Hiiragi, and Alina, confront the group. Nemu reveals she is the &amp;quot;Creator&amp;quot; of all the Rumors in Kamihama and the Magius explain their goal: to use the energy generated by Rumors and Witches to hatch &amp;quot;Embryo Eve,&amp;quot; a being that will liberate all Magical Girls worldwide from the fate of becoming Witches. They state the phenomenon requires the presence of all three Magius and a massive energy source, for which they have used the people of Kamihama and the teams part ways in opposition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Wednesday, the 14th==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:101701 coaster02.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, at Mikazuki Villa, the team summarizes the Magius&#039; plan and that Kamihama is an incubator for Embryo Eve. They resolve to stop the Magius due to the plan&#039;s high human cost and the group gives Yachiyo the set of sakura blossom-themed coasters as a symbol of their team unity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka are separately attacked by multiple Kamihama Witches in Mitakihara before reuniting. They realize the Witch incursion is a coordinated attack meant to prevent them from leaving Mitakihara. Their magic and Grief Seed reserves are heavily depleted in the constant battles.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the ongoing Witch attacks, the trio is overwhelmed by a powerful Witch and is forced to retreat. Sayaka breaks down, admitting her terror of becoming a Witch and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka share their fears and resolve to face the threat together. They are observed by Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, who imply the attack is part of their plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Fendt Hope, Kyoko, having gained the trust of her unit, is taken on a tour of the Wings of the Magius headquarters by her White Feather superior.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, the three defeat the Feathers sent to observe them, and after interrogating them, they receive a message from Iroha about how to save Mami. Holy Mami arrives to Mitakihara and reveals she brought the Witches to Mitakihara to keep the three of them &amp;quot;safe,&amp;quot; and insists the Magius will save them. Alina Gray also appears and traps Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka in a Barrier, which Mami seals with her ribbons.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her infiltration, Kyoko is taken to Hotel Fenthope by Mifuyu Azusa. She confronts Holy Mami, accusing her of not being the real Mami Tomoe. Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi arrive and reinforce the Rumor brainwashing on Mami. Mifuyu secretly escorts Kyoko away and reveals the Magius&#039; plans: they are using a mysterious entity called &amp;quot;Eve&amp;quot; to liberate Magical Girls and are deliberately bringing Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama to hatch it. Horrified, Kyoko rejects the Magius and is led out of the city by Mifuyu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 8: Once Again From Here|Another Story Chapter 8: Once Again From Here]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko arrives in Mitakihara and frees Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka from Alina&#039;s Barrier. She explains the Magius&#039; plan to bring Walpurgisnacht to Kamihama and Homura urges the group to stay in Mitakihara for safety. Kyoko departs alone, later resolving to return and crush the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Iroha has a sudden memory flashback to the hospital, triggered by the word &amp;quot;sakura.&amp;quot; She remembers a story she, Ui, Touka, and Nemu created about the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot; She deduces this Rumor is real and located at the hospital, and that all the Rumors were created there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Touka and Nemu observe that Embryo Eve has reached a critical state and they confirm that a legendary, cross-dimensional event they foresaw: the arrival of Walpurgisnacht, will provide the final, massive energy surge needed to hatch Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo calls a meeting with the Mikazuki Villa household, Tsuruno, and the Momoko trio to share her concern that rumors persist even after they defeat the Uwasa themselves. The group splits up to investigate whether the original Uwasa have truly vanished or transformed into something new.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hereafter: &amp;quot;The Rumor of the Rumor of the Rumor&amp;quot;|Hereafter: &amp;quot;The Rumor of the Rumor of the Rumor&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko, Kaede, and Rena investigate the Breakup Staircase and find only scattered internet gossip remains. During their search, lingering tensions surface over Rena&#039;s painful memories of when Kaede was kidnapped by that Uwasa, but the trio ultimately reconciles and continues working together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno visit Mizuna Shrine, where the Séance Shrine Uwasa has transformed into a popular spot for relationship prayers with new mascots. They encounter a grieving girl who comes daily to pray for her deceased friend, and Yachiyo is reminded of her own departed companions Kanae and Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Felicia track down the man behind the revived Misery Water rumor, who confesses he was scammed into buying the water and cannot bring himself to deceive others. Felicia helps him find honest work, and the rumors die out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana investigates an online forum where troubled users make veiled threats, but the rumor fades without incident. Tsuruno and Iroha check Chelation Land, where Tsuruno reflects on her past brainwashing and muses about whether some Uwasa exist independently of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The groups reconvene and report that all investigated rumors have left minimal traces. Yachiyo concludes their investigation of the Uwasa is complete, and only the Wings of Magius themselves remain to be confronted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hereafter&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voices from Beyond, Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the afterlife, Mel Anna meets Kanae Yukino, another Magical Girl ghost who also died fighting a Witch. Mel is thrilled to discover they were both on a team with Yachiyo Nanami and calls Kanae her senpai. Kanae takes Mel to a ghost cafe where deceased Magical Girls gather, explaining they cannot interact with the living world except through psychics.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Voices From Beyond|Voices From Beyond]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they wander Kamihama, Mel notices Witch numbers rising dramatically and worries about Yachiyo. They follow Yachiyo and are relieved to find she has new companions in Iroha Tamaki and others, though they remain concerned about their former teammate Mifuyu&#039;s absence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, they watch helplessly as Yachiyo battles the Wings of Magius and eventually enters the Memory Museum, where she relives the trauma of losing Mel and Kanae. When Yachiyo dissolves her team afterward, convinced her magic causes others to die for her, the ghosts desperately try to reach her. Kanae notices Yachiyo kept their mementos: Mel&#039;s fortune log and Kanae&#039;s notebook. They focus their thoughts on these items, and that night, Yachiyo discovers their messages—Kanae&#039;s lyrics about forming a circle and Mel&#039;s fortune predicting the current events. Grateful, she resolves to move forward. Their successful contact gets their ghost licenses suspended, and they watch Yachiyo&#039;s dream of their encounter before fading.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Thursday, the 15th==&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius initiate a city-wide offensive, unleashing powerful Witches and sending brainwashed Black and White Feathers to indiscriminately attack other Magical Girls. Mami delivers a declaration of war to Iroha and Yachiyo, stating they will no longer delay their plan for &amp;quot;freedom.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 8: Kamihama Painted in Lies|Chapter 8: Kamihama Painted in Fiction]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magical Girls of Kamihama form a coordinated response and Yachiyo&#039;s team devises a strategy: first, eliminate the unleashed Witches; second, protect other Magical Girls and direct them to Mitama&#039;s shop as a safe haven; third, deal with the rampaging Feathers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, recalling the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; in Hokuyo Ward, theorizes it could be the location of the Magius&#039; hidden base. Yachiyo approves Iroha and Sana to investigate this lead separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next several hours, the teams execute the plan. Yachiyo rescues Ren from a Black Feather and escorts her to Mitama&#039;s shop. Kaede Afinds Konomi protecting an injured Kako; together they defeat a Witch and get Kako to safety. Rena aids Asuka and Sasara, later teaming with Ria and Manaka to defeat a Witch. Momoko and Aimi rescue Kokoro and Masara from Feathers. Tsuruno works with Hinano to eliminate a Witch and warns her about the Feathers. Felicia fights alongside Akira and Nanaka&#039;s group, eventually reuniting with Tsuruno. Kanagi protects Himika from Feathers and sends her to Mitama&#039;s. Yachiyo and Kanagi also rescue Riko and Ayaka from Feather attacks and track the enemy to a heliport. Yachiyo, Kanagi, Momoko&#039;s team, and Tsuruno&#039;s team successfully clear the city of the powerful Witches and they rescue and guide numerous Magical Girls to Mitama&#039;s shop. Momoko confronts Mitama, challenging her to abandon her neutral stance and Mitama agrees to allow her shop to be used as a headquarters and to share her knowledge about the Magius&#039; plans.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama reveals the truth that Magical Girls are destined to become Witches, and that the Magius aim to use the energy from Embryo Eve to spread the Doppel phenomenon worldwide, preventing this fate. However, their methods involve sacrificing the citizens of Kamihama and other Magical Girls to gather this energy, so the Magical Girls at the shelter decide to join the fight against the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, in Chuo Ward, Yachiyo and Kanagi are ambushed by Mami and a horde of brainwashed Feathers at the Kamihama Central Tower heliport. The battle is difficult due to the Feathers&#039; numbers and Mami&#039;s enhanced power from the Uwasa. Kanagi reads Mami&#039;s mind and finds her personality has been completely overwritten by the Uwasa&#039;s influence, leaving only her devotion to the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno and Felicia then arrive as reinforcements and during the fight, a Black Feather loses her &amp;quot;Receiver Pendant.&amp;quot; Kanagi reads this Feather&#039;s mind, uncovering that the Feathers&#039; berserk state is caused by the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Receiver Pendant,&amp;quot; which numbs their emotions and forces them to obey the Magius&#039; orders. The memory also reveals the three Magius orchestrating the attack to harvest emotional energy from the chaos, believing it will bring their utopia closer. The Feather who lost her pendant then begins to regain her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team battles the brainwashed Mami and the Wings of the Magius. With the help of Momoko&#039;s team and Kanagi&#039;s ability to read the enemy&#039;s weakness, they remove the Uwasa from Mami, freeing her from its control. Mami collapses from exhaustion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Homura pleads with Madoka and Sayaka not to go to Kamihama, fearing for their lives against Walpurgisnacht. After initial hesitation, Madoka and Sayaka resolve to go and Homura agrees to accompany them. The trio leaves for Kamihama but cannot contact Iroha Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Upon arriving in Kamihama, the three are attacked by brainwashed Black Feathers in Sakae Ward, but the Feathers suddenly regain their senses and flee. The trio pursues them into Central Ward and meets Kanoko Yayoi, Karin Misono, and Natsuki Utsuho. They learn that other Magical Girls are gathering at Mitama Yakumo&#039;s office and Karin reveals she saw Nanaka Tokiwa carrying an unconscious Mami there. The group goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds Mami, who has been freed from the Magius&#039; control and awakens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wings of the Magius then execute their plan: they cause a city-wide blackout and seize control of Kamihama&#039;s radio waves and power grid. They use Nemu&#039;s power to project a false utopia over the city, attracting Witches, and Touka&#039;s power to send a signal that summons the legendary Witch, Walpurgisnacht. Their goal is to use the chaos and emotional energy to hatch &amp;quot;Eve.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana infiltrate the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Eternal Sakura&amp;quot; Labyrinth, initially having their presence hidden due to Sana&#039;s unique magic. There, Iroha confronts Touka and Nemu, using the Uwasa itself as proof that her memories of their shared past with Ui are real. Despite this, Touka and Nemu don&#039;t believe her and refuse to halt their plans. Alina arrives, captures Iroha, and takes her to their main base, Hotel Fendt Hope. Afterwards, Sana escapes and informs Yachiyo&#039;s arriving team of Iroha&#039;s capture.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Mitama reveals she previously supplied the Wings with Grief Seeds in exchange for neutrality but has now chosen to side with Yachiyo&#039;s team against them. Mami herself awakens, now having reconciled with her inner turmoil. Now, Yachiyo&#039;s team, reinforced by Momoko&#039;s team and Mami, prepares to assault Hotel Fendt Hope to rescue Iroha and stop the Magius before Walpurgisnacht arrives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami, freed from the Uwasa&#039;s influence, resolves to expose the Magius&#039; true plans to the Feathers and Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka decide to support her instead of joining Iroha&#039;s group. Nanaka and her team escort them to the heliport and during the journey, Mami explains to Nanaka that the Feathers&#039; loyalty was placed not in the Magius themselves, but in Mifuyu Azusa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 9: Take My Hand|Another Story Chapter 9: Take My Hand]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the heliport, Mami arrives where the exhausted Feathers and Kamihama Magical Girls are at a stalemate. She reveals the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice hundreds of civilians, including the Feathers&#039; own friends and family, to Walpurgisnacht. She also details their previous use of the Chelation Land Rumor for a similar purpose and the Feathers are shocked and dismayed. Some even accuse Mami of hypocrisy, which she does not deny.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Feathers split into two factions: one that still desires liberation at any cost and another that vows to protect Kamihama. A fight breaks out between them and Madoka and the others defend Mami, declaring their unwavering friendship. Moved, Mami asks the Feathers if they have anyone they trust unconditionally, as she now does, and the Feathers state they trust Mifuyu and demand to hear the truth from her directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami entrusts the Feathers to Nanaka&#039;s team, while she, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka then proceed to Hotel Fendthope to aid Iroha. On the way, Mami thanks her friends and asks them to rely on her as an equal ally and friend, not as a veteran. They arrive at the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Mitama is guarding the entrance. She confirms she is aware of Mami&#039;s past struggles and allows the group to pass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Friday, the 16th==&lt;br /&gt;
* At Hotel Fendt Hope, Sana infiltrates the hotel to find Iroha and she overhears Feathers discussing Iroha&#039;s location and heads there. Iroha is held in a cell and, with her Soul Gem confiscated, she reflects on her memories of Ui, Touka, and Nemu and resolves to stop the Magius&#039; plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their plans and Alina demands Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem and body be brought to her. A weather report at the same time indicates the approach of Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana locates Iroha&#039;s cell, and she breaks Iroha out, but the act of breaking the cell door triggers an Uwasa, as the entire building is part of a Rumor. Sana defeats the Uwasa and as they flee, they are ambushed by Black Feathers. Kyoko Sakura, who was undergoing an orientation with the Feathers but decided against joining them, intervenes and helps defeat the attackers as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha explains the Magius&#039; goal is to summon Walpurgisnacht, and Kyoko reveals the Magius also plan to use Iroha, Mifuyu, and the Amane sisters as nourishment for &amp;quot;Eve,&amp;quot; the core of the system. Suddenly, Iroha collapses and stops breathing due to the distance from her Soul Gem. A Black Feather who pretended to be unconscious seizes Iroha&#039;s body and escapes with it, and Sana and Kyoko give chase.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team enters the Hotel Fendt Hope through the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth and they split into two teams: Yachiyo&#039;s group heads to the top floor to rescue Mifuyu and the Amane sisters, while Momoko&#039;s group searches for Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team finds Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa unconscious, their bodies separated from their Soul Gems. They quickly recover the Soul Gems, reviving the three, and Mifuyu confirms the Magius summoned Walpurgisnacht to provide energy to hatch Eve. Mifuyu and the Amane sisters renounce the Magius and join Yachiyo&#039;s team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Iroha is transported by a Black Feather who reveals her motivation: her younger sister turned into a Witch, and she supports the Magius to prevent others from suffering the same fate. Momoko&#039;s team intercepts them and rescues Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko and Sana fight their way through the hotel and reunite with the main group. Momoko&#039;s team recovers a bag containing Iroha&#039;s, Mifuyu&#039;s, and the Amane sisters&#039; Soul Gems. A group of Feathers from the East confronts them but is persuaded by Kanagi to stand down, and they retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the teams reunited, the full coalition of Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, Kanagi, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Kyoko regroups. They possess all the stolen Soul Gems and are united in their goal to stop the Magius and confront Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team&#039;s path to the underground chapel is blocked and Mifuyu determines the magical building, a Rumor crafted by Nemu Hiiragi, has been reconfigured. Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa attempt to break the blockade, but a powerful magical wind erupts, separating the group. Mifuyu, the Amane sisters, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, and Kyoko are blown outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Iroha, Sana, Felicia, Tsuruno, and Kanagi remain inside and they defeat an Uwasa that attacks them. Mifuyu communicates from outside that they are locked out, and she devises a new plan: her group will gather other Kamihama Magical Girls to attack and destroy the Uwasa of Hotel Fendt Hope itself, which will collapse the building. She instructs Yachiyo&#039;s group to hurry to the underground chapel for safety before the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu&#039;s group fights off Witches released by Alina Gray as a defense measure. Mami, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka also arrive and assist them. After the battle, Mami convinces Mifuyu to address all the Feathers of the Wings of the Magius, and using the Amane sisters&#039; sound magic, Mifuyu broadcasts a telepathic message across Kamihama, revealing the Magius&#039; plan to sacrifice civilians and summon Walpurgisnacht. She urges the Feathers to lay down their arms and prepare to fight the legendary Witch. Many Feathers also heed her call and defect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami then uses her magic to create a small opening in the building&#039;s barrier and enters Hotel Fendt Hope alone to rejoin Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kyoko is noted to be absent. Yachiyo&#039;s team searches for the entrance to the underground chapel and Mami reveals she concealed the entrance with her magic. She severs the ribbon hiding the path, officially breaking her ties with the Wings of the Magius and Mami then leaves to assist with the attack on the Uwasa of Fendt Hope outside. Kyoko meets Mami along the way and gives her a Grief Seed before they both exit the building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team then encounters false copies of Touka, Nemu, and Alina from the Mirror Witch&#039;s barrier; they realize the fakes speak differently and defeat them before continuing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, Mifuyu&#039;s group, now joined by Mami, Kyoko, and the Feathers who defected, attacks the Uwasa of Fendt Hope. Despite a coordinated assault, the Uwasa proves extremely resilient and withstands their combined power. The battle continues as the city-wide weather disaster escalates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s team proceeds down a long staircase into a deep, dark underground area filled with strong magical impurities. Along the way, they are confronted by Mirror copies of themselves that voice their deepest insecurities, but each member overcomes their own doubts by relying on their friends. In the underground chapel, they find Alina, Nemu, and Touka waiting for them. At the back of the chapel, they see the massive, unhatched form of the Witch known as Embryo Eve. They reveal the full scope of their plan. They explain that Kyubey&#039;s true mission is to harvest the emotional energy of Magical Girls to counteract the universe&#039;s heat death. The cycle of hope and despair, culminating in a Magical Girl&#039;s transformation into a Witch, produces the necessary energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius intend to usurp this system. They plan to use the phase transition energy from Eve&#039;s transformation into a full Witch to create a permanent forcefield over Kamihama. This field would allow Magical Girls to release their impurities as Doppels instead of becoming Witches, and the energy would be fed back to the universe, making Kyubey and new Magical Girl contracts obsolete. The imminent arrival of Walpurgisnacht is a key part of their plan, as its destruction by Eve will provide the massive energy required.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Despite understanding the plan, Iroha and her team refuse to accept the Magius&#039; methods or their control over the future. The Magius argue that without their plan, Walpurgisnacht will destroy the city regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chap 9 - 2.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Fendt Hope, the battle against the Uwasa of Fendt Hope continues. Realizing they are losing, Mifuyu uses a dangerous self-illusion to unleash all her magic at once in a final attack. She destroys the Uwasa but becomes incapacitated in the process as her Soul Gem starts breaking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the chapel, the destruction of the Uwasa causes Fendt Hope&#039;s Labyrinth to collapse, and the chapel is exposed to the outside as the building disappears. After the collapse of Hotel Fendt Hope, the teams reunite in the forest as the Labyrinth vanishes. Yachiyo learns that Mifuyu was severely injured destroying the Uwasa and was taken to Mitama for treatment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius appear with Embryo Eve, now freed from the chapel, and they prepare to fully release Eve so it can devour the approaching Walpurgisnacht. A battle ensues as the teams try to stop them and Iroha and Sana break through the defensive line of Familiars to attack Eve directly. Iroha&#039;s attack on Eve fails and Eve captures Iroha but does not harm her. A bright light emanates from Iroha, allowing Sana to rescue her. Sana reveals she possesses a branch from the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, which was not in bloom when she received it. The branch suddenly blossoms after Iroha touches Eve and Iroha realizes that Embryo Eve is her missing sister, Ui Tamaki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Sana confront Embryo Eve on Takayama Mountain and Iroha believes Eve is her sister, Ui Tamaki, but Eve breaks free from the mountain and begins to move toward Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream|Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama City, Walpurgisnacht approaches from the sea, accompanied by a massive horde of Familiars that begin to swarm the city. Magical Girl teams led by Hinano Miyako and Nanaka Tokiwa engage the Familiars along the coast to prevent widespread destruction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the ruins of Hotel Fendt Hope, Tsukasa and Tsukuyo bring the injured Mifuyu to Mitama Yakumo for emergency aid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Takayama Mountain, Iroha pleads with the combined Magical Girl forces not to kill Eve, revealing her belief that it is Ui. The Magius leaders and Alina retreat. Eve leaps into the sky, heading for Sankyo Ward in Kamihama. Yachiyo Nanami&#039;s team prepares to pursue Eve, while Madoka Kaname&#039;s group from Mitakihara heads to the coast to help defend against Walpurgisnacht.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Magius headquarters, Touka and Nemu dismiss Iroha&#039;s claims about Ui, despite Nemu&#039;s private suspicions. Alina expresses interest in Iroha&#039;s memories but remains focused on Eve&#039;s hatching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Eve&#039;s arrival in Sankyo Ward, Mitama informs Iroha and the team that Ui&#039;s true body and Soul Gem are contained within Embryo Eve, which is a &amp;quot;Half-Witch.&amp;quot; To save Ui, they must defeat Eve&#039;s manifested form without destroying the Soul Gem and Mitama identifies a large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest as the core that maintains its form and its weak point. Mitama also treats the comatose Mifuyu, whose Soul Gem is critically cracked from overuse. Mitama stabilizes it but cannot fully heal her, and Tsukuyo and Tsukasa decide to rejoin the fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Eve rampages through Sankyo Ward, the combined Magical Girl teams attack Eve but find their assaults completely ineffective. Mitama, the Amane sisters, and other groups like Hinano Miyako&#039;s team regroup and they decide to consolidate their forces: one group will focus on defeating Eve, while the other prepares for Walpurgisnacht&#039;s landfall.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia readies her hammer and strikes Eve on the head with a magic‑powered blow, using her memory‑obliterating ability to confuse Eve and halt its advance; in the aftermath of the strike, a strange glow is visible near Eve&#039;s belly. Meanwhile, the Amane sisters relay the critical intelligence about Eve&#039;s red jewel weak point to Yachiyo&#039;s team. Eve begins to move toward Chuo Ward, and Sana proposes a plan to immobilize Eve so the team can target its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, the combined forces of Yachiyo&#039;s team, the Amane sisters, and other White Feathers execute a plan to immobilize Embryo Eve. They use chains from Sana&#039;s shield, spears, and plants to bind Eve to a large building and Iroha successfully strikes the large red jewel on Eve&#039;s chest, its weak point.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eve retaliates by absorbing a massive vortex of impurities its Familiars had collected, causing its body to mutate and merge with the jewel. Iroha then sees a vision of Ui trapped within the core, reaffirming her resolve to save her, but the Magius arrive to protect Eve and ensure it consumes Walpurgisnacht. Iroha declares her intent to enter the gem to save Ui directly, and despite being severely injured, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia hold off the Magius, creating an opening for Iroha to advance toward Eve&#039;s core.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:10-19.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha reaches Ui&#039;s body but cannot shatter the gem surrounding it completely. Touka arrives at her side, and questions her motives. Iroha declares Ui is her sister and a precious friend to Touka and Nemu, and as Iroha reaches for Ui, the Embryo Eve attacks and Lil&#039; Kyubey intervenes and blocks the attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu experience a flood of memories, recalling the original events. She remembers seeing Iroha with Kyubey in a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, learning about Magical Girls, and devising a plan with Ui and Nemu to usurp Kyubey&#039;s powers to create an automatic purification system and save all Magical Girls. Their plan failed when Ui&#039;s &amp;quot;harvest&amp;quot; ability went haywire upon her transformation, forcing Nemu to sever Ui&#039;s soul from her body and store it within the de-powered, small Kyubey to prevent her from becoming a Witch. This act erased Ui from the world&#039;s memory, as well as any traces of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Regaining their memories, Touka uses her stored energy to destabilize the Embryo Eve and Nemu uses her stories to restrain it. Iroha shatters Eve&#039;s central gem, and the small Kyubey releases Ui&#039;s soul. Ui awakens and reassures Touka and Nemu that she does not blame them for their shared decision. The Embryo Eve, now soulless, begins to decay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined Magical Girl forces, including Mami, Kyoko, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura, continue their battle against Walpurgisnacht in Chuo Ward. Despite their numbers, the Witch proves immensely powerful and resilient.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102304 mikage desire.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In Chuo Ward, a massive explosion of light and energy erupts from the location of the decaying Embryo Eve. The Eve has transformed into a new, stable form, and Touka deduces that Alina, who had previously shrunk the anti-Kyubey forcefield to contain the city&#039;s energy, has now wrapped that forcefield tightly around Eve. This action stabilized Eve&#039;s energy and prevented its decay, allowing Alina to control it as a tool for her art. Alina appears, now fused with an Uwasa in a manner similar to [[Holy Mami]], and declares her intent to use Eve to create her ultimate masterpiece, disregarding the goal of Magical Girl liberation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, as this is taking place, [[Mikage Yakumo]], Mitama&#039;s younger sister, is approached by Kyubey when the Barrier disappears. After he explains Mitama&#039;s wish to her, Mikage makes a wish of her own to undo the effects of Mitama&#039;s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 2: Smiles and Fireworks|Arc 2, Chapter 2]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Holy Alina]] asserts that humanity subconsciously desires destruction and that she will use the Embryo Eve to fulfill this wish as her ultimate artwork. Kanagi confronts her own past desire to destroy the city due to its history of conflict but ultimately rejects Alina&#039;s path as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 nemu uwasa.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu, as the creator of Alina&#039;s Uwasa, takes responsibility. She uses the last of her life force to summon every Uwasa recorded in her book to attack Alina directly. The attack defeats Alina, making her disappear, but Nemu collapses, severely weakened and unable to move her legs, so White Feathers evacuate her to safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102004 eve user1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Embryo Eve, now uncontrolled, begins to rampage and targets Ui, attempting to reabsorb her. Lil&#039; Kyubey implies a solution: it will take Ui&#039;s place within Eve. Touka realizes that the small Kyubey, which contains Ui&#039;s former soul and Kyubey&#039;s original functions, possesses similar attributes to Eve. It is also incapable of becoming a Witch. Lil&#039; Kyubey merges with the Embryo Eve, causing it to release all orbs of light from its body, lading in different parts of Kamihama. The small Kyubey thus becomes the core of the &amp;quot;Automatic Purification System&amp;quot; that Touka, Ui, and Nemu originally envisioned, preventing Magical Girls from becoming Witches within Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With Walpurgisnacht&#039;s arrival, the combined forces of Magical Girls, including the various teams from Kamihama and the team from Mitakihara, are on the verge of defeat. Homura and the others exhaust their weapons and energy in a desperate attempt to defeat it. They are exhausted, out of Grief Seeds, many are incapacitated, and despite their injuries and depleted resources, the girls refuse to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Last Magia|The Last Magia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Walpurgisnacht prepares a massive attack that seems certain to annihilate them, an unknown, benevolent force envelops the Magical Girls. Iroha hears a mysterious voice and sees white feathers raining down, an experience shared by everyone on the battlefield. They all experience a sudden surge of energy and a feeling of being urged forward. This voice is from the Law of Cycles, who had been watching the timeline but not interfering with it. The feathers rejuvenate the group, lifting their spirits and empowering them to continue fighting; their strength is restored, and even the injured find themselves able to fight again. With morale returned, they rally together for one final, united assault, redirecting Walpurgisnacht to Kaihin Park using a coordinated strategy with their unique magical abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The combined forces of Magical Girls coordinate their unique magics to combat Walpurgisnacht: &lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Natsuki Utsuho initiate the counterattack by using their Encouragement and Cheering magic to boost the morale and power of all allies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seizing this surge of energy, the team implements a complex strategy to control the battlefield. First, Felicia, Meiyui Chun, and Rika Ayano use their Memory Erasure, Persuasion, and Mind-Altering magic to disorient Walpurgisnacht and force it to change course toward the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** To precisely guide the Witch to the intended battleground, Tsuruno, Riko Chiaki, and Emiri Kisaki then use their Good Luck, Luring, and Charm magic, successfully leading Walpurgisnacht to the beachfront park while evading its attacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Once there, the focus shifts to immobilizing the colossal foe. Tsukuyo, Tsukasa, and Asuka Tatsuki use their Flute Blossom Resonance and Action Control magic in an attempt to halt Walpurgisnacht&#039;s movement entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When it retaliates, Himika Mao diverts its attacks, creating an opening for Kanagi Izumi, who, with a power boost from Mitama&#039;s Coordination, attacks it directly to stun it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** This creates the crucial opening for a full restraint, and Mami, Kanoko Yayoi, and Kaede use Ribbon Binding, Stitching, and Plant magic to ensnare the Witch, which Rena amplified by using her Transformation magic to transform into Kaede and double the restraining power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Walpurgisnacht finally immobilized, Nanaka organizes their forces while Hazuki Yusa and Akira Shinobu identify its weak point with their magic, a gear connected to Walpurgisnacht&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire group then launch a coordinated, all-out assault, with offensive magics like Hinano Miyako&#039;s Chemical Explosions leading the charge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Throughout the final attack, Kokoro Awane, Ayame Mikuri, and Konoha Shizumi provide vital defense with their Wall Creation, Safeguarding, and Fog Generation magic, protecting the assault team and ensuring their united strike could land.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Realizing their combined assault was not enough to deliver a final blow, the Magical Girls regroup and to ensure they could act as one perfect unit, Reira Ibuki uses her Purifying Flame to heal their wounds and replenish their energy, while Mito Aino uses her Heart-Linking magic to synchronize their hearts and minds, allowing their resolve to become perfectly aligned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With their spirits united, they form a new strategy and Konomi Haruna uses her magic to force their Fighting Spirit to Bloom, amplifying their collective potential, while Kako Natsume uses her Event Reproduction magic to reinforce the gathered energy, and Ren Isuzu enacts her Nirvana magic to ensure the attack would bring permanent rest to the Witch if successful.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The plan to create a final weapon then commences. Ui uses her Harvest magic to gather the hope and magical energy from every single Magical Girl on the battlefield. She passes this immense energy to Touka, who used her Conversion magic to condense it all into a single, concentrated mass.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* This mass of collective hope is then entrusted to Yachiyo, whose unique magic of Inheritance allows her to embody and control the power. She and Iroha shape this energy into a gigantic, radiant arrow aimed at the weak point that had been identified.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they prepared to fire, Walpurgisnacht launches an attack to free itself from their binds. In that moment, Homura activates her Time-Stop, and touches Iroha, allowing her to move within the suspended time and take aim unimpeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the path clear, Iroha releases the arrow and strikes the central gear with overwhelming force. As time resumed, the arrow consumed Walpurgisnacht in a brilliant explosion, finally ending the calamity and clearing the sky over Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102005 magicalgirl3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura reflects that she has finally surpassed this battle after countless timelines, and Madoka expresses relief that no more people will suffer from Walpurgisnacht. The girls in Kamihama also celebrate their hard-earned victory, despite the fact that many are injured and exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Epilogue==&lt;br /&gt;
* Some days after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, Iroha and Ui see their parents off at the airport as they leave for their overseas assignment. Iroha and Ui then return to Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama City, where Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana welcome them back. Mifuyu is also present, as Iroha was able to use her magic to repair Mifuyu&#039;s damaged Soul Gem, allowing her to recover. Later that day, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Kanagi, and Mitama visit Mikazuki Villa as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, [[Ultimate Madoka]], a being who identifies as a record-keeper of all universes reflects on the new timeline centered on Kamihama. She states she intervened one last time by sending a &amp;quot;rain of feathers&amp;quot; to empower the Magical Girls but will now only observe, fearing further direct interference could damage this fragile new reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu organize a meeting for all Magical Girls involved in the recent conflict to discuss the actions of the Wings of the Magius and the future fate of all Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu visit the Eternal Sakura. The Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura congratulates them on finally being together as friends and Nemu, who now uses a wheelchair, accepts her condition as a consequence of her past actions. Iroha briefly wonders about the whereabouts of the small Kyubey that once accompanied her, and then meet Lil&#039; Kyubey in the Eternal Sakura Labyrinth again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastmagia&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After some days, Homura reflects on their victory. Despite saving Madoka and defeating Walpurgisnacht, she feels uncertain. The fundamental curse of Magical Girls becoming Witches remains, and she questions if this timeline is truly the best outcome. At school, Mami informs the group about recent disappearances and people getting lost, which they attribute to a new Witch. They devise a plan to track it by mapping the incidents. Kyoko arrives from Kazamino, also hunting the same Witch, and a tense alliance forms.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Chapter 10: The Place We Finally Reached|Another Story Chapter 10: The Place We Finally Reached]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the group splits into teams to search the area Mami identified. Madoka notices Homura&#039;s preoccupation and reassures her. The teams locate the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth and coordinate their attack. During the battle, Homura fears for her friends&#039; safety, but they work together effectively. Kyoko and Sayaka create an opening for Mami and Madoka to deliver the final blow, while Homura evacuates the Witch-Kissed civilians.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Kyoko gives the Grief Seed to Mami and Sayaka declares she has no regrets about becoming a Magical Girl, valuing the power to protect and the friends she has made. This prompts Mami to reconcile with Kyoko, asking to be true friends who help each other when needed again, to which Kyoko agrees. Madoka then states she is also glad she became a Magical Girl, expressing faith in the future because of her friends. This resolve causes Homura to weep with joy, finally believing this timeline, where they face their fate together, could be the one she sought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group, including Kyoko, shares a meal at a pancake restaurant. They discuss an upcoming meeting in Kamihama to address the Magius&#039; actions. While Kyoko opts not to attend, the others plan to update her later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a1ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 04 00 0042 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One Saturday, Mami volunteers to help clean the damage done by the Magius incident and Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura go along as well. During it, a Witch attacks and a Magical Girl they were helping unleashes a Doppel. They defeat the Witch and the girl falls unconscious, so Mami takes her to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale|Mami Tomoe: A Doppel Tale]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After stabilizing her, Mami asks Mitama to help her face her own Doppel and she guides Mami to look within. Mami meets her Doppel and it tries to convince her to forget the past, yet Mami refuses and proclaims that she accepts the Doppel as part of herself. Mami then wakes up, thanking everyone and says they will build the future together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mtdoppel&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cherry Blossom Dreams===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, the Eternal Sakura completed her duties as an Uwasa when her tree came into full bloom. Her Rumor was rewritten and she was connected to Touka&#039;s server, reborn as an Uwasa with ample knowledge who would later be named Sakurako. Around this time, Yachiyo received a message asking what should be done about the six ringleaders of the Magius—Touka Satomi, Nemu Hiiragi, Mifuyu Azusa, Mitama Yakumo, Tsukuyo Amane, and Tsukasa Amane. Nemu proposed rewriting the Eternal Sakura to serve as an impartial judge. They designed three trials: the first to analyze crimes and calculate a verdict, the second to survey all Magical Girls, and the third to reach a final decision based on responses. Punishments ranged from monitoring to destruction of the Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Cherry Blossom Dreams|Cherry Blossom Dreams]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the first trial, Sakurako sentenced Touka and Nemu to the maximum penalty. Mifuyu received power revocation, reduced from maximum due to testimony that she helped destroy Fendt Hope. Mitama received conditional power revocation, allowed to transform only for Coordinator work. The Amane sisters received power restriction. After the trial, Touka and Nemu remained calm, thanking everyone. Yachiyo noted they had intentionally omitted their ages from consideration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Nemu and Sakurako wait at a train station with others. Nearby girls whisper about Nemu, recognizing her as one of the Magius and questioning why she faces no punishment. Ui argues with Iroha about using the Stardust Time Viewer, while Touka pushes through the crowd, disheveled from navigating the train alone. The three girls reunite, each feeling it is a dream. Touka sends Ui a photo of the map they created together in the hospital. The group travels to the mall, where Ui finally visits the croquette shop she always wanted to try, and they share plates to taste each other&#039;s orders. From there, they take a rickshaw to Mizuna Shrine, where they briefly encounter Tsukuyo and Tsukasa, who quickly hurry away. The group buys prayer plaques, though most hesitate at the cost until a shrine attendant suggests writing prayers on the back of their fortunes instead. Iroha wishes for all Magical Girls to get along, while Touka and Nemu write their own wishes. They argue over where to go next—Touka wants a lookout point in Hokuyo Ward, but Ui resists rushing. Sakurako suggests they also face reality, so they head to Central Ward, still scarred from Walpurgisnacht and Eve.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui admits she used the library as an excuse to bring them here, hoping the Stardust Time Viewer would show them a hopeful future. Nemu summons the Rumor, transporting them to a star-filled space. The Viewer shows Iroha&#039;s future: a world where the Doppel system has expanded globally and all Magical Girls coexist peacefully. Iroha feels embarrassed, but Sakurako assures her the wish is beautiful. When Ui asks to see her own future, the Viewer has nothing to show. Ui realizes this means Touka and Nemu are absent from Iroha&#039;s future and accuses them of planning to die. The vision fades, returning them to the rubble of Central Ward. Touka and Nemu admit they believe they should die for their crimes, pointing to the destruction around them, the Feathers they manipulated, and the innocent people hurt. Sakurako confirms she knew this all along. Ui slaps them both, demanding they consider how she feels. Nemu explains they wanted to do what they could while they still had time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The second trial begins. No surveys have arrived. Sakurako agrees to wait one hour. Yachiyo and others leave to retrieve them. Mifuyu confronts Touka and Nemu, asking if they sabotaged the surveys. They admit they did, altering the date so the surveys would not arrive in time. They wanted to be judged and sentenced to death to spare Ui from the hatred directed at them. Ui refuses to accept this. She and Iroha transform to protect them. The hour ends and Sakurako moves to deliver punishment. Iroha and Ui hold her back as Mifuyu and Mitama join the defense. The Amane sisters attack Sakurako with their flutes, accepting heavier sentences. Iroha realizes they can use photos of the surveys as evidence. Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s phones begin chiming with images from Yachiyo and the others. Iroha begs Sakurako to accept the evidence. Sakurako confirms the surveys are real and delays the trial, requiring them to arrive by day&#039;s end. The surveys show Magical Girls believe Touka and Nemu should be punished, but not killed. Some suggest atonement, rehabilitation, or mentorship. Reading the responses, Touka and Nemu weep, but Ui weeps with joy. Based on the surveys, sentences are reduced. Touka and Nemu receive monitoring with transformation-prevention bracelets, while Mifuyu and Mitama&#039;s sentences are reduced to monitoring. The Amane sisters are found not guilty and Feathers who revealed themselves have their cases dismissed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the group gathers. Touka and Nemu wear their bracelets. Sakurako serves drinks. Mifuyu asks about tutoring Touka in exchange for help with pharmacy school. Nemu will rely on Sakurako for mobility on difficult days. Tsuruno suggests welcoming them as the Brains of Kamihama. In the kitchen, Sakurako hugs Touka and Nemu, then Iroha and Ui. She tells them she loves them. The days she always dreamed of have arrived. The real spring can finally begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dreamingcherryblossom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocolatier in Mirror Country===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro, Masara, Konomi, Asuka and Sasara gather at Manaka&#039;s place to plan their charity bazaar booth. Kokoro and Masara participate to help Himika&#039;s family without making it obvious, while Asuka and Sasara join to invite a lonely girl named Chi whose father died. Konomi&#039;s booth was invited directly due to her popular Valentine&#039;s bouquets. They agree on a collaboration between Walnuts and Blossom the florist, dividing tasks among themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Warming Valentine ~Until your thoughts reach you~|Warming Valentine ~Until your thoughts reach you~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With Manaka&#039;s father&#039;s help, Kokoro and Masara make bear-shaped chocolates. Asuka recruits dojo volunteers, Sasara invites Chi and designs leaflets, and Konomi prepares bouquets with Izayoi&#039;s help decorating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the bazaar, adults receive bouquets with donation and children get free chocolates. Chi and her mother visit happily. Himika initially refuses chocolate but accepts after realizing her siblings want it, and they enjoy the day together. The event succeeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later at a celebration party, Sasara and Kokoro feel their efforts changed nothing. Masara scolds them for impatience, explaining kindness takes time. Kanagi and Asuka arrive with good news that Himika&#039;s family is making White Day gifts, and Chi&#039;s mother now calls daily. Relieved, they enjoy the party.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Valentine&#039;s Day, girls give chocolates to loved ones. Sasara gives to her father, Asuka to her cousin, and Konomi to her aunt. Masara and Kokoro exchange chocolates at their favorite spot, and Kokoro tearfully reconciles with her parents. Elsewhere, Rena and Tsukuyo each struggle to give chocolates to Kaede and Tsukasa. Following a rumor, they separately pray at a radio tower, accidentally encounter each other, and successfully give their chocolates when Kaede and Tsukasa also arrive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, in Mitakihara, Nagisa bakes a chocolate cake with Mami while feeling that something is wrong, as her memories feel hazy and she seems more childish than she should be. She realizes her memories of being longtime friends with Mami are false, yet she recognizes that the warmth she feels is what she has always wanted. When they finish the cake, a Witch that looks like a younger version of Nagisa steals it, and they chase it into a mirror, finding themselves in a transformed version of the Mirror Witch&#039;s Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Chocolatier in Mirror Country|Chocolatier in Mirror Country / The Mirror World Chocolatier]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They encounter Madoka and Homura trapped in a time loop illusion, free them, and learn that Sayaka and Kyoko went ahead and are now missing. They find Sayaka and Kyoko trapped in a competition for a magical cake, so Mami and Nagisa enter and win by choosing a song they both know well. Using the cake&#039;s wishes, they reunite the group and defeat the attacking Witch. Nagisa realizes she has two sets of memories and deduces the chocolate-loving Witch is an alternate version of herself who wished for chocolate cake instead of cheesecake. This Witch has been consuming the Labyrinth&#039;s power and attracting Witches from parallel worlds through mirror gates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The little Witch steals the cake again, and during the chase, Nagisa and Mami become separated in a dark fog. A poem warns them not to open their eyes or they will lose each other, but Nagisa&#039;s self-doubt overwhelms her. Remembering losing her mother and everyone else, she convinces herself Mami is not really there, opens her eyes, and is consumed by the Witch. The group fights through countless gates to find her and engages the master Witch. Inside, Mami finds Nagisa, hugs her tightly, and promises they will always be friends because of the future they will share, not false memories. Nagisa finally believes her, and the cake is returned.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group realizes that even with the master Witch defeated, other Witches have taken its place, so they must clear them all to restore the Labyrinth. They commit to finishing the job together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Labyrinth is cleared, they gather at Mami&#039;s apartment for a chocolate party where Nagisa officially gives Mami the cake. They play poker with chocolate coins to decide how to share the remaining half, and Mami wins, but she divides the cake equally among all six. Everyone agrees it is the best cake in the universe. Nagisa thanks Mami, and Mami welcomes her warmly, calling her a little chocolatier and a lovely new addition to their circle of friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;choco&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Kamihama, that night, Tsukuyo finds Rena praying at the Chuo Ward radio tower, having both read an online article claiming that twenty minutes of prayer there ensures successful apologies to loved ones. Tsukuyo confesses she hurt her twin sister Tsukasa by rejecting their Valentine&#039;s plans after failing at homemade chocolate, while Rena admits she snapped at Kaede and claimed she had no chocolate for her after Kaede had given her some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The 14th Day Where I Can&#039;t Be Honest|The 14th Day Where I Can&#039;t Be Honest]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their conversation is interrupted when Tsukasa and Kaede suddenly appear, having anticipated their partners would come here to apologize. Tsukasa assures Tsukuyo she was not upset and would treasure any chocolate from her, urging her to be easier on herself. Kaede forgives Rena and asks simply for her to be more honest. Together, the two pairs exchange Valentine&#039;s wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warm&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany===&lt;br /&gt;
* Walpurgisnacht&#039;s attack on Kamihama City caused massive damage to Chuo Ward, which the public believes was a natural disaster. Only Magical Girls know the truth and privately, Mitama reflects that the victory gave her hope, but she wonders if the destruction she once wished for can be defied.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany|The Case Files of the Coordinator 5: Invisible Epiphany]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0008 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days after Walpurgisnacht, Mitama realizes Doyle has not visited her shop and the last saw him the day before Walpurgisnacht. She assumes the storm made him too scared to go out, so she decides to close her shop and search for him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama looks around the vacant land near her shop and a girl named Ritsumi offers to help. Ritsumi’s cat Arthur ran away before, so she knows where cats hide. They search but find nothing and Ritsumi says Arthur now lives with her grandpa. Mitama realizes Ritsumi is the daughter of the neighbor who owns Arthur and Mitama had mistaken Arthur for Doyle and that Ritsumi has never actually seen Doyle. They end the day without clues and Mitama sends a message to the Magical Girls’ group chat asking if anyone has seen a white tabby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama knocks on the neighbor’s door and Ritsumi’s mother answers. She explains that Arthur was sent away two weeks ago to Ritsumi’s grandpa. Mitama realizes that no one knows where Doyle came from. Ritsumi’s mother promises to keep an eye out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana, Asuka, and others from Mizuna Girls’ Academy saw Mitama’s group chat post and they arrive to help. More volunteers soon arrive: Kaede, Kako, Rena, Konoha’s team, and others. They split up to cover Shinsei Ward and Mitama notes that no one else has ever seen Doyle. Konoha says she never saw a cat at Mitama’s shop. Rena also asks for a photo, but Mitama has none.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds Ritsumi near the bus stop and they search door to door. No one in the neighborhood has seen a white tabby kitten either. Ritsumi says she has read all “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” books and that her favorite is “Invisible Epiphany,” about a detective searching for a lost child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko meets Mitama alone. Momoko says she never saw Doyle and neither did Tsukasa or the other girls. Mitama remembers talking to Doyle in front of them, but they saw no cat ither. Momoko suggests a Rumor is involved, as all Rumors disappeared after the fight with the Magius, except the Eternal Sakura. Coincidentally, Doyle disappeared at the same time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls Nemu, who is still in the hospital and Nemu explains that Doyle was part of the Rumor of the Cat Detective. The Rumor possesses detective novel lovers, detects signs of a case, gets the detective involved, and guarantees a solution. Nemu explains she erased almost all Rumors, including this one. Mitama thinks Doyle disappeared because the Rumor was destroyed and she had solved four cases with Doyle’s help, yet the fifth never began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama re-reads her case files and each one has an opening paragraph she does not remember writing. The first case file hints at Hanna Sarasa. The second hints at Tsukasa. The third and fourth also name the culprits. Mitama realizes Doyle left those hints, and Nemu says the Rumor did not cause incidents, only detected them, so those incidents would have happened anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Art 02 01 0009 original.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Kamihama slowly returns to order. Mitama notes that she cannot rely on Doyle anymore and she hopes she does not get any new cases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui and the Eternal Sakura visit Mitama to deliver a lampshade from Yachiyo. Ui says a girl from her school has gone missing and Mitama is shocked to learn the girl is Ritsumi, who did not come home after school yesterday and the police are investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama goes to the bus stop near her shop and finds Ritsumi’s mother. The mother says Ritsumi likely went to Hokuyo Ward to see her grandpa and Arthur. Ritsumi’s parents are separated and her father lives with his parents in Hokuyo Ward. The mother believes Ritsumi wanted to visit them, but the bus route to Hokuyo was suspended after the disaster but has resumed, bypassing Chuo Ward. Soon, Himika calls Mitama. Himika saw a girl matching Ritsumi’s description waiting at the Shinsei Ward bus stop yesterday, reading a book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi arrive and Momoko explains she has been investigating at school. Ritsumi transferred to Kamihama University Affiliated School six months ago after her parents separated and she moved into the building next to Mitama’s shop. Momoko explains Arthur went to live with her father in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo Ward. Mitama realizes the conflicting information: Arthur was first in Chuo Ward, then evacuated to the grandpa’s house in Hokuyo after the disaster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Satomi Medical Center, Nemu discusses the case with Eternal Sakura. Nemu recalls the hidden hints in Mitama’s case files. The last words of each hint spell “Lost Through Time Eternal,” which is the title of volume 12 of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby.” In that story, a girl runs away to her old home. Nemu deduces that Ritsumi went to her old apartment in Chuo Ward, not Hokuyo. She likely got off at the nearest bus stop and walked into the restricted zone, then she had an accident.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Momoko, and Kanagi search the area near the old apartment and they hear a voice. Ritsumi had fallen into an old underground passage and sprained her ankle. She lost track of time and had no phone. Mitama explains she remembered the Doyle book and Ritsumi admits she was copying the girl in the story as she wanted to see the area where she grew up. The three quickly rescue her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ritsumi is taken to a hospital and also discharged quickly. Her parents agree to let her visit both of them and Arthur whenever she likes. Mitama reflects that Doyle gave her confidence and the city she cursed is still standing, so she dares to believe in hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Momoko finally holds the Coordinator Thank-You Party that was postponed earlier and Rena and Kaede thank Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui reads &amp;quot;The Happy Prince&amp;quot; and reflects on her uncertain purpose as a Magical Girl. While walking, she stops Kyubey from contracting a girl outside Kamihama, explaining she cannot let anyone else suffer the fate of becoming a Witch. When Kyubey asks what he should do instead, she has no answer. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia tells Ui she is overthinking things and should focus on her upcoming combat test. Iroha and Yachiyo serve dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight|A Fledgling&#039;s First Flight]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno gives Ui an enthusiastic pep talk for her live combat test. To remain in Kamihama, Ui must detect and eliminate a Witch alone—the same test Yachiyo gave Iroha when she first arrived. Yachiyo admits the test may be unfair and offers to let Ui choose a partner. With Iroha busy helping Kanagi, Ui chooses Momoko. They depart together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui struggles to sense the Witch&#039;s magic, so they search Mizuna Ward where young women gather. They encounter a Familiar and follow it to a Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After defeating it, Felicia suddenly appears, attacks them, and runs away. Tsuruno gives chase and tackles her. Felicia&#039;s oblivion magic has erased their memory of the Familiar&#039;s pattern, so they cannot track the Witch. Momoko requests a pause, but Yachiyo refuses, stating unexpected events happen in real combat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Yachiyo&#039;s house, Felicia admits she interfered because she is jealous that Ui receives everyone&#039;s attention while she struggled alone as a mercenary. Yachiyo explains that Felicia&#039;s past does not justify making others unhappy. Meanwhile, Ui cheers up after eating crepes with Momoko and resolves to continue. As sunset approaches, they search Sakae Ward but find nothing. Yachiyo offers to bring a Familiar for them to retrack, but it disappears before they arrive. Ui suggests checking Hokuyo Ward on a hunch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Hokuyo Ward, Ui senses a different Witch&#039;s magical reaction. They follow Witch-kissed people up a mountain toward a labyrinth. At Yachiyo&#039;s house, the others realize Ui failed the test since Yachiyo had to eliminate the original Witch herself, though Yachiyo will allow a retake. They notice Felicia smiling and suspect she interfered again. Rena confesses she helped Felicia erase the hint because she understood Felicia&#039;s jealousy. Tsuruno says the only person who deserves an apology is Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the mountain, Ui and Momoko enter the Witch&#039;s barrier against Momoko&#039;s better judgment. They fight through Familiars but become trapped and cannot escape. The Witch overwhelms them. Yachiyo and the others arrive and join the fight, but Familiars overwhelm them too. Iroha arrives at the last moment to defend Ui. Ui proposes using her ability to harvest impurities, purifying everyone&#039;s Soul Gems so they can fight at full strength. She will temporarily become a Witch, but the Doppel system will contain it. She absorbs the impurities, and the others destroy the Witch while Ui struggles with the darkness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui unleashes her Doppel and meets her Doppel self, who accuses her of wanting punishment and being jealous of others while trapped in the hospital. Ui nearly agrees to let the Doppel consume her but refuses, recognizing it as the easy way out. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words about taking responsibility and confronting the situation honestly. She accepts her wrongs and her true feelings, realizing this difficult path will bring true happiness. The Doppel admits she is right. Iroha wakes Ui at Mitama&#039;s clinic, where she has been unconscious for some time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama checks on Ui after her first Doppel release. Felicia apologizes for her interference and says she thinks Ui is cool. Rena also apologizes for helping Felicia. Ui accepts their apologies and compliments them both, asking Felicia to teach her things. Rena and Felicia feel terrible for how they treated someone so kind. Later that evening at Yachiyo&#039;s house, everyone celebrates Ui passing her test—though she did not defeat the assigned Witch, she tracked a Witch, stayed calm, used her intelligence, and performed better than expected. Ui tells Iroha she now knows what she wants to do as a Magical Girl. Iroha decides to work with other Kamihama Magical Girls to find a way to free them all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nest event 2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui and Iroha encounter Kyubey outside Kamihama attempting another contract and stop him. Kyubey asks what their goal is. They explain they plan to fight and find a way to coexist with Kyubey—if they can expand Kamihama&#039;s miracle globally, Magical Girls can live happily while providing the energy Kyubey needs. Kyubey welcomes the idea if it avoids conflict but warns that Magical Girls worldwide are not as unified as those in Kamihama. Ui wonders how much happiness she can give to the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;afledglingsfirstflight&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tart / Darc Magica===&lt;br /&gt;
* Through Minou&#039;s spell from 15th-century France, Ui is pulled into the past, with her phone acting as her Soul Gem and Blank Prophecy, with the power to restore the past&#039;s real history.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Rebel of a Dawnless Land|Rebel of a Dawnless Land]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning from the past, Ui finds herself in an antique store, still surrounded by magic bubbles though no memory of what occured. On the floor are the two candles and the old book. She feels they are important but cannot remember why, so she puts them on store shelves before falling asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui wakes up at Mikazuki Villa. Her phone rings with a text of Nemu asking if she knows any charms, as Mitama has been really into them lately. Ui says she knows a charm for good dreams requiring red and blue candles. Nemu asks where she heard about it and Ui isn&#039;t sure but says it was in 15th-century France. Nemu is fascinated and promises to research it. Later, Ui scrolls through her phone and finds a photo she doesn&#039;t recognize with girls she doesn&#039;t know. She begins crying without understanding why and Iroha finds her and hugs her tightly. Suddenly Ui remembers Darc&#039;s final words. She turns to her sister and tells her, &amp;quot;Let&#039;s have a wonderful future together.&amp;quot; Iroha agrees. Ui calms down and heads home to prepare for a slumber party with Nemu and Touka. Iroha, running errands, decides to stop by Mitama&#039;s place afterward. Mitama greets her warmly, mentioning she just learned an interesting little charm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rebelofadawnlessland&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That day, Iroha visits Mitama, who gives her and Yachiyo antique candles for a sweet dream spell. That night, they light the candles and drift off to sleep together, where they&#039;re pulled into the nightmare of Jeanne d&#039;Arc in April 29th, 1429.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Maiden of Hope|The Maiden of Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next morning, Yachiyo reveals she had the same dream. They call Mitama, who is surprised they had nightmares instead of sweet dreams. They decide to try the candles again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Kamihama plunged into darkness and all non-Magical Girls vanished. Their Soul Gems have consumed magic in the real world despite no injuries. Realizing the dream affects reality, they decide to return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a lot of fighting, they awaken and prepare for the final battle. In this journey they discover that they&#039;d been traveling to Darc&#039;s dream, and if Darc despairs completely, she will turn into a Witch and trigger a catastrophe affecting the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They awaken to find Felicia and Sana gone and Kamihama empty. Breaking into Mitama&#039;s shop, they find a grimoire revealing the candles were made with Darc&#039;s hair, creating a connection to her dream. They return with the book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They finally awaken at Mikazuki Villa to sunshine and normalcy. Felicia demands steak for dinner. Consulting a history book, they read that on May 7th, 1429, Jeanne d&#039;Arc fought at Tourelles after waking from a dream. The battle was fierce but Orléans was liberated. Iroha notices a portrait in the book showing them in their Magical Girl outfits standing beside Jeanne d&#039;Arc.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at Mitama&#039;s shop, Yachiyo recounts everything. Mitama mentions the spell became widespread in France during Jeanne d&#039;Arc&#039;s era. Iroha realizes Melissa must have spread it after learning it from them in the dream. The use of red and blue candles was too specific to be coincidence. Iroha&#039;s head spins trying to figure out where the spell originated. Yachiyo notes the grimoire never mentioned the candle setup, so the spell just circled around and around. They will never know for certain whether they changed history or were always part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;themaidenofhope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* During their slumber party, Ui, Touka, and Nemu encounter a massive witch, [[Crépuscule de La Reine]]. Touka and Nemu vanish, leaving Ui and Sakurako to face it alone. The witch is unaffected by their attacks and disappears, taking Ui with it into 15th-century France once more, this time in the realm of Purgatory which Minou created. With Pernelle&#039;s help, Ui is soon able to also summon Iroha and Yachiyo there as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;endofalegendthelimitsoflight&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - End of a Legend, the Limits of Light|End of a Legend, the Limits of Light]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Lil&#039; Kyubey and Ui&#039;s phone as the Blank Prophecy are pulled as &amp;quot;If Factors&amp;quot; into the world of Holy Maiden Academy, which Minou created and maintained for six hundred years after being given a Philosopher&#039;s Stone after Isabeau&#039;s death. However, after her plans are thwarted by the &amp;quot;what if&amp;quot; version of Melissa, he returns and wakes in the real world, where Iroha and Ui assure him it was just a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;counc&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Masked Student Council Strikes Back|The Masked Student Council Strikes Back]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Voices from Beyond, Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a year after Voices from Beyond, Part 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* With peace restored in Kamihama, Yachiyo visits a flower shop to buy flowers for Mel&#039;s grave, still haunted by never defeating Mel&#039;s Witch. She unexpectedly encounters Mifuyu and Mel&#039;s mother, who reassures them Mel was happy because of their love. Walking toward the cemetery, Yachiyo and Mifuyu are engulfed by the barrier of the Witch Etteilla—Mel&#039;s Witch. They struggle against both the Witch and their own fears: Mifuyu fears defeating it means forgetting Mel, while Yachiyo fears losing anyone else. Remembering the ghosts&#039; encouragement, Yachiyo convinces Mifuyu they must move forward because Mel and Kanae wanted them to. They defeat the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mel&#039;s grave, they place flowers and the Grief Seed from the Witch, hoping her soul has finally found peace. They silently promise to keep moving forward. Mifuyu wonders if Mel&#039;s Witch appeared to give them a push, and they smile, repeating Mel&#039;s favorite phrase: all things happen when they must. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to see the belongings Mel and Kanae left behind, and Mifuyu gladly accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;voicesfrombeyond&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One weekend, Rui ropes Seira into attending Kamiket, a convention for sharing and selling fan-made media in Kamihama. The two became close friends after discovering they are both Magical Girls, and because Seira is the only one who knows about Rui&#039;s embarrassing secret: a heavy case of chuuni-byo. Rui agreed to bring Seira on the condition that only the two of them would go, ensuring nobody else discovered her secret.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!|I, the Reincarnated Overlord, Magnificently Thwart &amp;quot;THEIR&amp;quot; Conspiracy!!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the day of the convention, Rui cannot contain her excitement and slips into character, declaring the convention her sanctuary and the catalog guidebook as Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Her main objective is to purchase the newest installment of her favorite indie game series and meet its creator, MacQueen. On the way to the booth, she accidentally bumps into a stranger who seems irritated about someone not being at the convention yet. When she arrives, the booth attendants inform her that someone has been using counterfeit money, and worse, MacQueen himself is missing. Rui&#039;s imagination immediately conjures a grand conspiracy, but the criminal is soon caught and MacQueen calls to say he overslept. Relieved, Rui takes a photo with the booth girls, but as the picture is taken, chills run down her spine as she senses someone glaring at her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rui dismisses it as her imagination and continues exploring with Seira. Remembering the booth numbers hit by counterfeit money, she realizes they spell the chemical formula for Ricin, a lethal poison. Her imagination ignites again, convincing her that the real attack will come through poisoned food from outside vendors. She rushes them outside to stop the attack, but everyone seems fine, and her Magical Girl ability, which lets her see how close someone is to death, reveals nobody is in danger. Ashamed, she realizes her imagination finally got the best of her and apologizes to Seira. They decide to get lunch, and Rui opens her laptop to install her new game. The screen is black, and in the reflection she sees her own face. Her magic reveals she herself is now close to death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Remembering the chills from earlier, Rui checks the photo and finds the man from earlier glaring at her in the background. She rushes back to the booth to warn the girls, who recognize the man as Miranda, a popular content creator. As they discuss this, MacQueen finally arrives, and Rui sees he is the closest to death&#039;s door, with Miranda also marked. She confronts Miranda, who confesses he intended to kill MacQueen over an alternate ending in the latest game that suggested his favorite sub-heroine may have had a former lover. He pulls out a gun he secretly printed with a smuggled 3D printer. Just as he is about to shoot, Rui shows him a cutscene on her laptop, which is the second part of the alternate ending, unlocked only after clearing the entire game, revealing the sub-heroine fabricated the story to protect the user character. Miranda realizes his mistake and surrenders to security. After the incident, Seira asks if Rui was scared. Rui reveals she always wears chainmail under her clothes and also carried a heavy blunt object for protection, the magically enhanced Hecatoncheires&#039; Revelation. Seira decides to pretend she did not hear that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ithe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 11:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura writes in her diary as she and her friends take an air-conditioned express train to the beach for summer vacation. They buy ice cream and enjoy the ride.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Beachside Bonds|Beachside Bonds]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls arrive at their destination, a seaside inn run by Sayaka&#039;s relatives who had a sudden cancellation. Sayaka complains about the heat as they walk to the inn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Sayaka&#039;s aunt shows them to their rooms and warns them not to get lost in the surrounding forest. Outside, two young girls who live at the inn approach Madoka. They ask if she knows someone named Kei, who is looking for someone named Yu. They warn Madoka not to talk to Kei and that she should hold still if Kei enters her room. The girls then leave. Homura suggests Kei might be a cat. They agree to tell the others as Kyoko passes by already in her swimsuit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, the girls play volleyball. Mami spikes the ball hard and hits Homura in the face. They stop the game and Mami frets over Homura. Madoka suggests they rest in the shade while Mami buys something cold. Madoka then suggests they collect pine cones from nearby trees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the forest, a cat appears and leads them deeper into the trees. It guides them to a small shrine, where Homura finds an old notebook. She reads entries from April 20, June 24, August 3, and August 6, all detailing the author&#039;s complicated feelings for someone named Kei. Madoka tells her to put it back without reading further. When they turn around, the cat is gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the beach, Sayaka shares a rumor from the beach house: a girl fell off a nearby cliff years ago and died, and her spirit is reportedly seen rising from the ocean between two and three a.m. Mami shrieks in fear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the inn, Kyoko teases Mami about being scared. The conversation turns to ghosts and Kyoko compares them to how normal people might perceive Witches. Madoka feels relieved and tells Sayaka about the twin girls. Sayaka plans to ask them about any pets later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After an Italian dinner, the girls light fireworks on the beach. Kyoko bumps into Hinano Miyako, who doesn&#039;t recognize her but does recognize her Soul Gem ring. Ren Isuzu finds Hinano, followed by Emiri Kisaki and Rika Ayano. The groups combine for fireworks. Emiri admits she used a little magic to help everyone relax, explaining why Kyoko had strange memories of Mami. Kyoko chases Sayaka around the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Heading back to the inn, Sayaka finds her twin cousins lining up stones. They claim the stones protect against Kei entering. They say Kei would hate Sayaka the most because she is nosy, then leave. In her diary, Homura writes that the girls talked until they all fell asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 12&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura&#039;s diary entry describes a dream belonging to someone else. In the dream, the narrator waits for her friend Yusa Yumeno, who arrives with popsicles. The narrator complains that Yusa doesn&#039;t need to come every day, but Yusa insists she can only be her real self around her friend. The narrator believes identity is shaped by others&#039; perceptions. She reveals she may not take college exams due to family obligations and urges Yusa to attend her chosen school, comparing herself to a weed and Yusa to a flower growing in a different direction. The narrator comes home to another hateful letter from classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes in a cold sweat, unable to move. The room smells strongly of seaweed. She sees a pitch-black human shadow sitting between Mami and Sayaka&#039;s futons. It examines their faces, grumbling &amp;quot;wrong, wrong, all wrong.&amp;quot; As it moves toward Madoka, Homura struggles to move. The shadow stops and stares at her, asking &amp;quot;You can see me?&amp;quot; Homura screams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others wake. Sayaka notices the strange smell. Kyoko goes back to sleep. Mami offers water and Homura asks if someone entered the room. They saw no one. Sayaka apologizes for the scary stories. Mami suggests thinking about tomorrow&#039;s fun. Madoka offers to hold Homura&#039;s hand, which she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura wakes early, the ocean scent still strong. She finds the twin girls outside. They ask if she met Kei. Homura asks what Kei is. The girls explain Kei looks like a human made of shadow without facial features, smells of the sea, and emerges from the ocean at night to look for her friend Yu. They repeat that she should do nothing and never talk to her. They notice their protective stones scattered and go to reline them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura suspects this might be a Rumor. She returns to the forest shrine and finds the notebook on the shrine&#039;s lattice door, despite having placed it underneath. She reads entries from May 2, May 20, June 12, and June 26, all detailing the author Yu&#039;s complicated, obsessive feelings for Kei. She replaces the notebook, feeling guilty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Homura recalls more diary entries: July 2 describes Yu placing hands on Kei&#039;s neck as if to strangle her; July 5 compares Kei&#039;s neck to a lizard she killed; July 15 describes Kei now finding Yu after school; July 20 states they should never have met and that both wear bandages to hide bruises on their necks. Madoka points out a small bruise on Homura&#039;s neck.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls begin walking to an aquarium along the coast. Kyoko complains about the distance and suggests fishing instead. Sayaka refuses, traumatized by a recent fishing tournament incident in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the aquarium, they eat fish burgers, marvel at jellyfish, and watch a dolphin and seal show. They leave at sunset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls walk to a cape to watch the sunset. Sayaka warns them not to get too close to the edge, referencing the girl who died. Homura smells flowers and Mami identifies night-blooming jasmine nearby. The scent reminds Homura of her dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recalls another diary entry: August 1 describes Yu feeling happy hearing Kei&#039;s wish despite blaming herself; August 12 states their plan is set for tomorrow, with Yu hoping something will make Kei reconsider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the cape, Kyoko admits feeling down because a cape is the end of the road with nothing after. Mami says it&#039;s more important they could talk again like they used to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary about the difference between the self you know and the self others perceive. She asks Madoka what kind of person she thinks Homura is. Madoka calls her a dear friend who works hard. Homura worries that revealing her time-traveling truth would change this perception. After dinner, the girls settle in for sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 13:&#039;&#039;&#039; Homura dreams again of Kei and Yu. Kei calls out that the promised day is here. She has dressed up and brought a ribbon to tie them together. Yu questions if this is right. Kei insists her life belongs only to Yu. They vow: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; They promise to kill each other for every reincarnation as proof of who they are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A voice calls Homura to wake. She awakens to find Madoka standing with eyes closed, enveloped in shadow. Madoka snaps her eyes open and proclaims repeatedly &amp;quot;I got in.&amp;quot; She calls out for Yu, saying the promised day is finally here. Madoka runs into the forest toward the cliff. Homura chases.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the cape, everything grows dark. Madoka, possessed by Kei&#039;s spirit, tells Homura that the drowned Chinese girl&#039;s body washed up here and she is looking for her father&#039;s ship. Homura urges her to chase after the girl to escape, but Kei claims Homura will kill her as soon as they leave. Homura transforms and attempts to freeze time but finds her magic has no effect in this place where time does not flow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren&#039;s voice calls out. She informs Homura that the others are searching for them, but only Ren could traverse into this abyss. Ren suggests this might be similar to her own magic rather than a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kei admits she tried possessing Homura but could not, so she settled for Madoka. She explains she is a faint memory staining the cliffside. The drowned girl&#039;s spirit helped her recall all her memories clearly. She describes how she and Yu bound themselves together and jumped into the ocean, but the waves pulled them apart. Kei died; Yu survived. Kei wants to kill Yu so they can kill each other throughout eternity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura refuses to stay in the abyss with Madoka. Kei transforms Madoka into her magical girl state and attacks. Ren blocks the blow and tries to use her magic to draw out the possession. Homura calls out the vow Kei and Yu made, distracting Kei. Ren attempts her magic but the ghost of the drowned Chinese girl deflects it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren realizes the ghost girl is not a girl but the root cause: the Witch Paola. The barrier forms and Homura fights the Witch alone while Ren hurries to catch up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Barrier dissipates and Homura faces the possessed Madoka on the cape. Kei accuses Homura of killing her. Homura tells her to shut up and leave their lives alone. Kei explains she will soon fade if Yu is not there. She begs Homura to kill Yu if she ever meets her, before her soul breaks and she becomes like the Witch. She begs Homura to keep this promise no matter where they meet or how many worlds Homura visits. Kei then relinquishes Madoka&#039;s body.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ren arrives, relieved they are safe. Madoka wakes with no memory, thinking she simply tossed and turned. The other girls find them and celebrate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura writes in her diary, describing the events as too strange to comprehend. She reflects on Kyubey&#039;s use of the term &amp;quot;soul&amp;quot; and questions what a soul truly is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka sighs that even on vacation they dealt with a Witch. Kyoko thinks she&#039;s getting rusty. Mami suggests Homura was right about a Witch mixing with a Rumor. Madoka telepathically tells them to quiet down since Homura is asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In her final dream, Homura sees Yu wake in a hospital on an unknown date. Kei died. Their bruises were dismissed. Yu returned to school where others used her grief as their own. Unable to bear going on without Kei, she nearly threw herself off the cliff again. All she holds onto is their final words: &amp;quot;In every life, we end whenever we meet.&amp;quot; But if the Yu that died that day is gone, who is the girl writing now? An image of Kyubey flashes on the screen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Deep in the dream, Homura recalls Kei&#039;s plea on the cliff. But Homura never agreed or promised anything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;beachside&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===SamaTore!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko wakes to find Mitama and Ui standing over her, learning they were washed ashore and rescue will arrive in two days. Mitama assigns tasks: shelter, bamboo, water, plants, and fishing. Before Kyoko leaves, Mitama asks her to transform, revealing she adjusted Kyoko&#039;s Soul Gem while she was unconscious to give her a Magical Girl swimsuit that allows her to swim. Mitama promises the transformation is reversible but looks forlorn, warning that if Kyoko does not have fun on the island, she might forget how to undo it. Kyoko reluctantly agrees to cooperate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story SamaTore! The Summer Treasure that Disappeared into the Fire|SamaTore! The Summer Treasure that Disappeared into the Fire]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko discovers she can swim and catches plenty of fish. While gathering firewood, she finds a piece of wood with the words &amp;quot;water&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;bottom&amp;quot; written on it and tosses it onto the pile. Back at camp, Mitama and Karin show her a treasure map they found. Mitama has built a large shelter, and Karin started a fire using skills from a manga. Kyoko helps Kanagi and Ui carry supplies back from the stream. When Mitama offers to cook, Kyoko and Kanagi immediately stop her. Kyoko distracts Mitama with the treasure map and cooks dinner instead, with Ui&#039;s help. The group enjoys the meal together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 2 on the deserted island and Mitama decides they will go treasure hunting. The group examines the map and the wooden tablet Kyoko unknowingly gathered for firewood, which tells of a fallen warrior&#039;s treasure hidden on the island. They follow directions to a clearing but find nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui falls into a pitfall, and Karin follows. Kyoko pulls them out with a vine, and they discover another tablet at the bottom. Kyoko realizes the piece of wood she threw into the campfire was likely one of the tablets, but she keeps quiet, hoping to make the group give up without upsetting Mitama. Mitama triggers a trap and is caught hanging from a tree. The group frees her, but everyone wants to continue despite Kyoko&#039;s warnings. Kyoko claims they are being followed, hoping to blame the missing tablet on someone else, but the stalker turns out to be a tabby kitten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group reaches a damaged clue they cannot read. Mitama deduces the final location is the waterfall, but they find nothing. Mitama stares at Kyoko, suggesting the tablet might have been lost. Kyoko panics internally. She blasts part of the riverbed, revealing a hidden underwater path she remembered from the burned tablet&#039;s words. Kanagi scouts and reports a cave at the end. Karin and Ui stay behind while Kyoko, Mitama, and Kanagi swim through using guide vines.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the cave, they endure swarms of mosquitoes until Mitama drives them away. At the back, they find a treasure box. Kyoko opens it carefully. Inside is a letter revealing the treasure hunt was a promotional stunt for the Sayu-Sayu Mizuna Tourism Project, abandoned due to mosquitoes and safety concerns. They left a paper with Sayu-Sayu&#039;s sword designs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko hides the truth and leads the group to a cliff with a stunning sunset view. Everyone agrees it is a rare treasure. Kyoko admits she burned one of the tablets for firewood. Mitama apologizes for pressuring her and promises to change her back. The group returns late at night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, the helicopter arrives. Iroha calls down to them. As they prepare to leave, the kitten runs off, and the group chases it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few weeks later. Sayuki, Ria, Mayu, her manager, and producer arrive on the same island to film a special. They find the bamboo house and campfire remains. The kitten appears, followed by Kyoko chasing it. Ui and Karin catch up, and Karin recognizes Sayuki as Sayu-Sayu. Kyoko realizes this is the idol behind the fake treasure hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Kanagi, and Iroha arrive. Sayuki greets Mitama warmly. Telepathically, Kyoko warns Mitama about Sayuki&#039;s connection to the treasure hunt. Mitama cryptically tells her to leave it. Karin and Ui want to stay and watch the filming. Sayuki offers to let them return on her boat. She explains her special involves a survival quiz using the Kaigiri sword. Ui and Karin are excited. Mitama and Kyoko exchange a look, hoping to preserve Ui&#039;s good memories without revealing the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Filming begins. They cheer from the sidelines. Later, they all pile onto the boat together, many exhausted and falling asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;samatore&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Flower That Blooms in a Hollow Heart===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuuna invites Chika, Hotori, Rion, and Yukika to dinner and proposes forming a team to search for the Kimochi gems, which she believes grant the power to guide people to salvation. She wants one to become like the saint she admires. The group accepts, though Chika privately knows the truth about the gems and asks Shizuka to keep an eye on them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hollow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Flower That Blooms in a Hollow Heart|The Flower That Blooms in a Hollow Heart]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They begin investigating by questioning magical girls around the city, though their methods are haphazard. They encounter Shigure and Hagumu, who follow them silently, and Ranka Chizu, who warns that asking about the Kimochi invites bloodshed. Yukika eventually suggests visiting Mitama, where Mifuyu explains the gems&#039; connection to the automatic purification system. That evening, Yukika urges everyone to stay together for safety. Yuuna is willing to continue alone if necessary, but Chika&#039;s troubled expression makes her change her mind, and she decides they should spend the next day together instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hollow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuuna takes them to an amusement park to relax. Chika confesses she has been spying for the Tokime Tribe and apologizes, but they do not mind and are happy to be friends with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hollow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they head home, Yukika asks about the saint who inspired Yuuna, and she describes being saved from a witch by someone who descended from the heavens with a gentle smile, using a pure white bell and muskets. Chika and Yukika realize she means Mami Tomoe, a normal magical girl. When Yuuna walks in on their discussion, she asks if it is a joke, and their silence sends her running away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hollow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuuna broods in her room, feeling guilty for dragging everyone into a meaningless search. If she misunderstood, then everything she lived for has been an illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hollow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At a cafe, the group discusses how to help her. Rion recalls meeting Mami before becoming a magical girl and describes her as gentle and cool, like an ally of justice. Chika forms an idea. Meanwhile, Yuuna remains in her room until her parents&#039; concern and a flood of messages from Chika draw her outside. Chika gives her dried persimmons and asks about her pain. Yuuna admits she feels hollow and does not know what to believe anymore. Chika cannot answer her difficult questions but refuses to leave her in a slump, asking Yuuna to trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hollow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They take a train to Mitakihara. As they walk through the city, they encounter a witch barrier. Inside, Yuuna runs ahead upon seeing a mother and daughter in danger, but her tainted soul gem makes her too slow. Mami appears and destroys the witch with a Tiro Finale. Yuuna recognizes her saint and hides, ashamed. Chika explains that Mami fights day and night to protect everyone. Yuuna confesses she has always been empty. Her family&#039;s prosperity gave her everything without effort, leaving her with nothing worth living for. The saint&#039;s light reached her, and she believed becoming like her would fill the void. Now she knows it was a misunderstanding and feels undeserving of Chika&#039;s friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hollow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before she can leave, Yukika, Rion, and Hotori tumble out of hiding. They had been spying to help find Mami. Rion tells Yuuna her emptiness has nothing to do with her value as a friend. If she is empty, she just needs to fill that void. Chika assures her a flower can bloom anywhere. Yuuna asks if they will still accompany her, and everyone says yes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hollow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Chika reports to Shizuka that the team has stopped looking for the gems. They just do not need them anymore.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hollow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At St. Lilliana, Yuuna meets with Rion and Hotori. Her new objective is to better herself to get closer to the saint, even if she does not know how and might fail. She thanks them for staying with her. She will work hard, so she asks Mami-sama to look after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hollow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Late July before summer vacation, Ui and Sakurako go shopping. Ui buys a picture diary and mentions wanting to swim with fish in a place like the Dragon Palace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium! ~ Entrust Your Memories to the Tamatebako|Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium! ~ Entrust Your Memories to the Tamatebako / Welcome to Uwasa Aquarium ~The Memories Entrusted in the Treasure Casket~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Sakurako consults Ryo, then works with Touka, Nemu, Ryo, and Ikumi to build the Uwasa Aquarium, Dragon Palace within her Rumor, incorporating elements for everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the aquarium event, Touka and Nemu guide Iroha, Ui, Yachiyo, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia to the space. Everyone enjoys swimming, themed attractions, and food tailored to their interests. Sakurako warns them never to open the Treasure Casket.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia opens the box, releasing a malice entity that takes Sakura&#039;s form. Normal attacks fail. The group cheers, empowering Sakurako to destroy it. Ryo reveals they planned this interactive show.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end, Sakurako creates cherry blossom petals despite being told not to overexert herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sakurako wakes in Iroha&#039;s room after collapsing from magic overexertion. Nemu and Touka explain Uwasa can die. Ui tearfully asks her to take better care. Sakurako promises to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Iroha suggests a beach trip. Touka, Nemu, and Ui enthusiastically plan it. Sakurako notices the aquarium has been forgotten in their conversation and grows quiet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day Sakurako returns to the empty aquarium. Reflecting on Nemu&#039;s words, she spirals into fear that she will die, be forgotten, and disappear. She hides.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha searches for her. Ryo and Ikumi arrive later. Ryo senses she is there and uses a tactic, claiming he will stop looking and eventually forget her. Sakurako emerges crying, begging not to be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo shows her Ui&#039;s picture diary, which dedicates many pages to the aquarium day. Sakurako realizes memories are what she can leave behind and agrees to return home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Sakurako returns and explains she now understands that as long as memories remain, she will not be forgotten. She asks to host the aquarium again for more Magical Girls. With promises to monitor her health and using Shizuku&#039;s teleportation to hide the location, the others agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, various Magical Girls arrive and enjoy the aquarium. Rena notices the Treasure Casket. Sakurako explains it contains stored memories she hopes someone will vividly recall when she is gone, so she will not be forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;uwasaarium&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kamihama in a Circle===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren arrive in a new ward, with Rika frustrated about oversleeping. They notice another Magical Girl nearby. Elsewhere, Konomi arrives alone while Kako declines to participate due to her team&#039;s policy. Manaka scolds Ria for being late because of her hair. Masara, Kokoro, and Aimi gather at a park, with Kokoro convincing Masara to participate. Reira, Mito, and Seika discuss the upcoming gathering of Magical Girls who have fought together before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Kamihama in a Circle|Kamihama in a Circle]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha and Yachiyo finish chores that had been delayed by Felicia&#039;s laundry mishap. They reflect on everything that has happened since Iroha came to Kamihama searching for Ui—the investigations, battles with the Wings of Magius, the automatic purification system, and the truth about Witches spreading. Despite the chaos, things have begun to settle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo rush to the park, worried about being late. Tsuruno meets them and playfully scolds them before carrying them the rest of the way. Iroha reflects on meeting Tsuruno while investigating Uwasas, and how their bonds grew stronger through battling together. She notes that everyone at Mikazuki Villa has decided to support one another.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group stops at a convenience store. Felicia appears, having visited Ayame first. Konoha and Hazuki are not coming to the gathering, but Yachiyo notes they have helped in the past. Felicia asks for chocolate. Iroha reflects on first meeting Felicia when she was a violent mercenary, and how living together has changed them both. She notes that Yachiyo has cared for Felicia more than anyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group takes a shortcut through a back alley. They find Sana hiding, having spotted Kaede&#039;s cat Gorojiro. Sana explains she was patrolling for dangerous Magical Girls while staying hidden. Iroha thanks her but assures her she can relax today. They invite her to join them. Iroha reflects on sympathizing with Sana&#039;s isolation and how Mikazuki Villa became an important place for them all. Yachiyo notes that Sana, once invisible to everyone but Magical Girls, is gradually finding her place in the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui, Touka, and Nemu meet the group. They have visited their old hospital to update the doctors and nurses who cared for them. Touka discusses her research on connecting universes, admitting practical application remains difficult but the possibility exists. Iroha reflects on how it still feels like a dream to see the three of them together. Yachiyo notes that while their past methods were wrong, their purpose of liberating Magical Girls was not, and that purpose continues now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, Rena, and Kaede join them, having stopped at a retro arcade where they won a stuffed animal together despite their usual arguing. Touka reveals a small possibility for connecting universes has been found, using the Endless Mirrors. Iroha reflects on first meeting Momoko and Kaede, and now sharing lunches with Rena. Yachiyo notes the three have strong bonds as a team and helped convince other Magical Girls after the truth about witches spread.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama joins, having taken a break from her shop to visit Kanagi. Tsuruno asks about using Mirrors to connect to other universes. Mitama confirms she and Kanagi have accompanied Touka and Nemu into the Mirrors. Nemu explains they were only experimenting with precautions. Touka insists she has plans if things go wrong. Mitama notes Mirrors has become more complex and will need more entrances. Iroha reflects on meeting Kanagi relatively recently and how they now work together despite past rivalry. She also thinks of Mitama&#039;s help and her surprising wish, but notes the city is moving forward. She wants to hold hands with more people and form a circle together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** From a distance, Iroha and Yachiyo watch Magical Girls gathering at the park. Felicia attempts to cure Iroha&#039;s nerves by hitting her, claiming Tsuruno said it would help. Tsuruno quickly corrects her. Hinano arrives, reporting on her task regarding Alina. Karin, who attends school with Alina, explains Alina is still missing and she does not know where she is. Iroha promises they will find her together. Mifuyu arrives with the Amane twins, apologizing for being late. Yachiyo thanks Mifuyu. Iroha reflects that a new step is beginning. Yachiyo notes her story started moving when Mifuyu disappeared, while Iroha&#039;s began with strange dreams. They have connected with so many Magical Girls. One chapter has ended and a new one is about to begin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha addresses the gathered Magical Girls, thanking them for coming. She reflects on fighting together against powerful Witches and sharing knowledge about their fate. Yachiyo notes they started from individual concerns, fought Uwasas and the Wings of Magius, and gained something greater in return. Their purpose is now the same as their former enemies: the liberation of Magical Girls. They seek coexistence with Kyubey without sacrificing themselves. Iroha acknowledges not everyone could participate, but all have agreed to help each other. Yachiyo admits skepticism is natural. Iroha declares that by expanding the automatic purification system across Kamihama, they can welcome liberation and coexist with Kyubey. Yachiyo announces they will work together under a new name starting today.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha begins to declare their new name but is interrupted by a flash of light. Wings appear on her back, and Yachiyo also grows wings. Feathers fall across the park. Yachiyo recalls this phenomenon helped them against Walpurgisnacht. Iroha wonders if it is a blessing upon the Magical Girls of Kamihama holding hands. With this blessing, they declare again that the Magical Girls gathered here are allies who will support each other in hardship. They declare themselves the Kamihama Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kamihamainacircle&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the establishment of the Kamihama Magia Union, a celebration is held at Walnut&#039;s. During the party, Manaka receives a phone call and panics, announcing that Nemu has been kidnapped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story A New Beginning|A New Beginning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group splits up to search nearby areas but finds nothing. Hinano eventually discovers Nemu held hostage by Black and White Feathers from outside Kamihama. Using Ryo and Ikumi to infiltrate, their cover is blown and they are surrounded. Sakurako jumps in to defend them as Iroha arrives with reinforcements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The lead Feather explains they kidnapped Nemu to convince the Magius to lead them again, as they do not know how to achieve liberation on their own. Iroha explains the Kamihama girls share their goals but reject their methods. Nemu and Touka ask the Feathers to join them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Before they can respond, white feathers rain from the sky again, the same power that helped them defeat Walpurgisnacht returns, but this time it feels uncontrolled and dangerous. Touka explains her experiment partially worked, creating a wormhole to another world, but the interference may crush their world. Kanagi and Mitama fail to disable the device sending the signal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana sneaks Nemu to where the device was stationed, but the labyrinth is gone. Nemu enters the password anyway, but nothing happens. The world shakes and a voice urges them to close the gate. Iroha realizes the power is trying to help, not hurt them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo devises a plan: Ui will absorb the magic built up inside them, Touka will convert it, and Iroha will fire an arrow to close the gate. As the sun sets, they enact the plan and succeed. The feathers stop falling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha asks the Feathers to reconsider joining them. The lead Feather admits her stubbornness and rage, and Nemu and Touka apologize. The Feathers accept, becoming the first recruits to the union on the day it was established.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Late that night, the group gathers outside Walnut&#039;s. They discuss the voice they heard and the power from another universe. Touka throws a tantrum over everyone calling her experiment a failure, and her stress causes her to unleash her Doppel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, a mysterious magical girl observes and turns to report back to the Tokime Tribe. In another place, a different magical girl also observes and decides to report her findings. In a different location, Kagome Satori has found Iroha at last, promising to keep a record of their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;anewb&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tracks of Cherry Blossoms===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako reflects on her nature as an Uwasa created by Iroha and Nemu. Though her duty to bloom when the four girls reunited is now fulfilled, she continues attending school as Sakurako Hiiragi. When Ryo comments that she is like a god who will never change, Sakurako questions other Uwasa and learns from the Anonymous AI that they act according to their Rumor forever, never stopping and never changing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later during a Kamihama Magia Union meeting, Iroha proposes a cherry blossom viewing to help members connect. Touka objects to using the Eternal Sakura, wanting to preserve it as a secret shelter. Tsuruno suggests Sankyo&#039;s famous cherry blossom viewing spot instead. Touka challenges Sakurako to visit the Sankyo tree and judge its worthiness herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako visits the Sankyo cherry tree. While observing it, she meets an elderly man who has appreciated the tree for decades. He explains the tree has watched over people for over eighty years, since before the war. Sakurako realizes this tree has lived far longer than her zero-year existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at school, Hinano and Ryo find Sakurako still fixated on the tree. Ryo shares what she knows: the tree served as a disaster shelter in the Meiji era, and famous restaurants once served food there for foreign cherry blossom viewers. After school, Sakurako returns to the tree. The elderly man and his wife visit again. The wife gives her cherry blossom-scented cookies, and the man gives her a hand warmer. A girl jogging past stops to pray at the tree, explaining she sees it as a sacred place before tournaments.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako continues visiting. Manaka and Tsumugi stop by, and Sakurako gives them the cookies she cannot eat. Sakurako reflects on how this tree has watched over thousands of people for over a century while she was created to watch only four girls. She realizes for the first time that time is passing around her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later at Mikazuki Villa, Sakurako observes the four girls and Ui talking about her teacher. Sakurako concludes the Sankyo tree is worthy of hosting the cherry blossom viewing. She decides she needs to practice making it bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over the following days, Sakurako continues visiting the tree, growing closer to the elderly couple. She forgets about practicing blooming, more interested in talking with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, the elderly man announces he will be hospitalized and they can no longer walk together. The woman explains she must care for him. The man reveals they kept walking because seeing Sakurako brought back fond memories of their belief in meeting a sakura spirit. Sakurako is left standing alone, realizing their time together has ended.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at the tree, Sakurako encounters the jogging disciple, who explains she is moving away and will soon leave the dojo. She then encounters Ui&#039;s teacher, who reveals she is being transferred to another school. Sakurako realizes that by the time the cherry blossoms bloom, all these people will be gone. She feels pain and fears that Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu will eventually disappear too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Ryo observes Sakurako&#039;s deteriorating state. A neighbor of the elderly couple approaches Sakurako and informs her there has been a passing in the family. Hinano later explains this means someone has died. Sakurako disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako asks Iroha and Yachiyo what to do when someone dies. Yachiyo explains about funerals and sending flowers as a last gift. Sakurako returns to the Sankyo tree and, using her power, makes it bloom for the first time, sending cherry blossoms into the sky for the grandfather. But she still aches from not saying goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and other Uwasa grow concerned, having heard rumors that when Sakurako makes cherry blossoms bloom, someone disappears. Sakurako concludes that if she lets the cherry blossoms bloom, the four girls might disappear. When Iroha confirms the cherry blossom viewing plans, Sakurako announces she will not let the tree bloom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo publishes the full Tracks of Cherry Blossoms article, detailing Sakurako&#039;s experiences. The girls read it and understand her association between blooming and parting. Yachiyo suggests teaching her that spring also brings new encounters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the picnic arrives. Iroha invites Sakurako, assuring her she does not need to make the tree bloom. Sakurako agrees to attend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the picnic, Asuka&#039;s disciple appears, explaining she came to let Sakurako know she is not sad about leaving. Ui&#039;s teacher arrives and tells Ui that her care will be passed on to the next teacher. Manaka debuts a new cherry blossom dessert, continuing the tradition in new form. Sakurako begins to understand that farewells are not always sad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the picnic, Sakurako remains at the tree. She admits she still cannot bring herself to make it bloom. Yachiyo tells her that wanting to see the couple again proves she has a heart. Sakurako despairs that Uwasa simply cease to exist. She buys one of Manaka&#039;s new desserts, hoping to give it to them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Sakurako waits at the tree daily, carrying the dessert. Rumors spread about the girl under the sakura tree. The girls grow concerned. Nemu warns that if Sakurako does not accept reality, she may destroy herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the time expires, the elderly couple suddenly appears. The grandfather was never dead. The passing was a relative. They had been away helping their daughter with a new baby. The woman explains they named their granddaughter Sakurako. Sakurako gives them the dessert and explains she now understands that encounters and goodbyes take many forms. She says she will not come regularly anymore but is grateful for their time together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;track&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tracks of Cherry Blossoms|Tracks of Cherry Blossoms]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Historical Research Club at Kosho School consists of three Magical Girls: president Mikura Komachi, her childhood friend Temari Kira, and underclassman Seira Mihono. When the club advisor informs them that without proof of accomplishments, next year&#039;s budget will not be approved, the trio decides to create a film based on a real Kamihama tragedy for the cultural festival. Mikura discovers a Taishō-era story about a romance between a disgraced Mizuna daughter named Ruri and a successful East-side businessman named Tsukihiko that ended in murder-suicide. Temari writes the script while Seira secures a Western mansion as a filming location. While scouting, they encounter a Witch and realize casting regular students would be impossible due to Magical Girl duties, so they use Coordinator Mitama Yakumo to recruit an all-Magical Girl cast including Ria Ami, Yukika Nanase, the Amane sisters, and Sakurako, an Uwasa created by Nemu Hiiragi. Mikura reluctantly agrees to play the male lead Tsukihiko, while Seira takes the role of Ruri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity|Rondo of Oblivion Sleeps for Eternity]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Filming begins at the actual mansion where the tragedy occurred, with Seira using her stage direction magic to create effects and the cast delivering startlingly accurate performances. Mikura discovers Tsukihiko&#039;s actual diary in the museum archives, revealing he genuinely loved Ruri and intended to break things off with his childhood friend. Temari secretly revises the ending to reflect this truth, working through the night until her Soul Gem tarnishes. Mikura cleanses her gem, and they lock the revised script away, keeping it hidden from Seira to make her performance more authentic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After filming wraps, strange rumors spread that the Historical Research Club is forming a new faction, and the affected Magical Girls begin acting as if possessed by their roles. This escalates when Kanagi Izumi and Yachiyo Nanami nearly fight over a perceived slight involving Riko. At Mitama&#039;s shop, Nemu Hiiragi explains the truth: Seira&#039;s stage direction magic immersed the cast, Mikura&#039;s magic, which restores lost things, reconstructed the historical personalities in the present, and Temari&#039;s kotodama magic caused them to follow her script. Their powers synergized to create a dangerously accurate reenactment. Nemu warns that the script&#039;s next events—Ruri&#039;s disappearance and the murder-suicide—may occur, and they realize Seira, possessed by Ruri, has vanished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Temari consults Kyubey, who reveals Ruri was a Magical Girl with the same kotodama magic who wished to live a storybook romance. When she realized her own novel&#039;s plot was manifesting as tragedy, she destroyed the manuscript to save Tsukihiko, but the act shattered her mind. Freed from the script&#039;s constraints, the couple&#039;s fate became unpredictable, and Ruri, unable to bear the fear of losing him, killed him and herself. Kyubey explains destroying the script will end the magic but damage Temari&#039;s psyche. Temari resolves to protect her friends without resorting to that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Seira, still possessed as Ruri, steals the diary copy and flees to Tsukihiko&#039;s mansion. Mikura and Temari pursue. At the mansion, Ruri prepares to atone by dying by her own hand. Mikura, wearing Tsukihiko&#039;s costume, dances with her as Tsukihiko&#039;s persona surfaces, steadying her. When Ruri moves to stab herself, Temari summons the others for backup, and they disarm her. Tsukihiko explains he could not stop her a century ago but succeeded this time. He and Ruri thank Temari—her script reached the hearts it was meant to—and they vanish. A fire destroys the original diary and all related documents, fulfilling Ruri&#039;s final wish to be forgotten. Mikura and Seira retain only fragments of the true story and agree to keep the tragedy of the two maladroit lovers a secret between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the club room, Seira panics that without evidence of their film, the Historical Research Club will be disbanded. They consider another project but have time until the cultural festival. Temari suggests they each find a home where they can rest easy, and Mikura replies she has already found hers: this provisional club room.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rondo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ayaka and Shizuku are at a local café when Ayaka laments that many Halloween events in Kamihama were canceled due to damage in Chuo Ward. Wanting to do something to cheer up the city, Ayaka&#039;s eyes sparkle as Shizuku suggests she organize something herself, leading Ayaka to decide on a live comedy show. She asks Shizuku to be her partner, but Shizuku is unsure about the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!|Will You Smile? Halloween Live Show!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ayaka meets Seika at her apartment, and Seika is happy to be Ayaka&#039;s comedy partner but asks about the logistics of broadcasting the show. Ayaka brushes off the practical concerns, insisting that the desire to make others smile is what truly matters, and Seika rises to the challenge, wanting to give back after years of Ayaka&#039;s comedy encouraging her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Ayaka and Seika form a manzai duo and practice daily into the evening, with Ayaka tutoring Seika on speaking louder and explaining the rhythm between the boke and tsukkomi roles. Seika struggles but keeps trying, at one point asking if she can use a whip against Ayaka, causing Shizuku to shake her head, but Ayaka insists manzai does not use props.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During one practice session, Shizuku chuckles at their serious expressions, and Ayaka decides she needs a fresh audience, spotting someone passing by and running off with Seika to practice on him. Shizuku watches them go, thinking she would have liked to help, but then hears a shout and goes to investigate, discovering the stranger is actually a spokesperson for a local sweets retailer who is also in charge of the annual Halloween event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The spokesperson explains he had wanted to take the event public since few companies are participating this year, and he thinks Ayaka&#039;s manzai would be perfect, inviting them to perform. Ayaka cannot stop smiling at the opportunity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the Halloween event, Ayaka is excited and Shizuku compliments her costume as they wait, but Ayaka mentions Seika has not arrived. Seika calls weakly to explain she has a fever and will be late, and Ayaka tells her to rest and focus on getting better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Shizuku asks what Ayaka will do about the manzai, Ayaka puts a hand on her shoulder and asks Shizuku to be her partner. Shizuku is reluctant to stand on stage but gives in after Ayaka repeatedly begs, and having watched countless practices, she memorized the skit, so they head to the stage together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform their skit about a werewolf that transforms by staring at the sun, with Ayaka calling everyone in the audience chimimouryou, and they continue through the routine until they finish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Backstage, Seika managed to make it there to congratulate them, and Ayaka tells her she should be resting. Shizuku did not see anyone laughing but hopes someone passing by might have smiled, and since Ayaka looks happy, she decides not to mention it. Seika apologizes for missing the show, and Ayaka says it was thanks to Shizuku, who warns she will not do something like that again. Ayaka smiles and says comedy must be amazing if Shizuku was willing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;willusmile&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral===&lt;br /&gt;
* The core members of the Kamihama Magia Union gather to plan a Halloween party, with Karin suggesting the event and Mitama offering her adjuster shop as the venue. Kanagi feels unsettled by the theme of the dead returning but dismisses her unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral ~The Living are Bewildered, The Dead are Silent|Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funeral ~The Living are Bewildered, The Dead are Silent / Halloween Castle of Prayer and Mourning]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the performance, Momoko arrives late to rehearsal at Mitama&#039;s shop and finds herself in a strange castle filled with unfamiliar magic. Yachiyo and Mifuyu act strangely, singing about making sugar skeletons and insisting Momoko must be bitten by the lord of the castle. Momoko flees and encounters Kanagi, who also attempts to bite her before Momoko realizes she is the lord of the castle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama rescues Momoko, explaining that Kanagi is under a witch&#039;s influence and everyone bitten loses their sanity. Mitama performs an emergency adjustment on Momoko, granting her temporary prayer power to restore those affected. Momoko explores the castle, observing magical girls making sugar skeletons engraved with how they want to be mourned, and encounters deceased magical girls who are manifestations from Kanagi&#039;s memories. Using her prayer power on them causes them to disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko restores several bitten girls and learns from a manifestation of Ryo that the only answer Kanagi needs lies within herself. When Momoko reaches Kanagi, her prayer power fails and Kanagi bites her, pulling Momoko into her memory space. There, Momoko witnesses Kanagi&#039;s memories of loss and grief, realizing Kanagi lacks confidence in how she mourns and has been seeking answers from the dead by asking living friends what they would want.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko confronts Kanagi again, insisting she can mourn in her own way and should accept herself. Kanagi reveals a small parasite on her neck, and together they tear the witch off and defeat it as the castle collapses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Momoko and Kanagi meet to visit graves together. They ask each other to mourn in their own way if one dies first, then reaffirm their priority is finding a way for everyone to survive before departing together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;castl&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;October 27th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Kako and Emiri fight a Witch and are saved by Karin.

===Angels on the Road===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno travel through a perpetual Christmas world as Reindeer Santas, their motorcycle fueled by smiles. They visit Candy Town, where they meet Riko, Mikage, and Sudachi, and use a magical medal game to multiply candy and bond with the girls before departing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Angels on the Road ~Reindeer Santa Prospering Season~|Angels on the Road ~Reindeer Santa Prospering Season~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui explains that Little Vacation is a game Touka and Nemu created during their hospital stay, where AI versions of themselves live in a Christmas world. The game evolved on its own after being forgotten, and now Ui and the others can influence their AI counterparts&#039; journey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Santas reach the Village of Meetings and Partings, where three residents live under a curse that maintains their population at exactly three. When one resident vanishes, they discover through a time capsule that departures may be joyful graduations rather than losses. They collect smile-fuel and leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alternatively, they visit Library Town, where diaries manifest people&#039;s memories. They help Nayuta and Lavi discover they have been searching for each other all along, and learn the Wishing Star reset the world and erased everyone&#039;s memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui learns the Wishing Star is actually a bug Touka covered up with lore. Despite this, their AI counterparts continue toward the End of the World, and the girls find themselves rooting for them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mech Junk City, the Santas meet Shigure and learn the world is torus-shaped with a Central Tower beneath the Wishing Star. They help Shigure&#039;s team hijack the tower&#039;s antenna to send a message through the star, and Meguru&#039;s voice reaches Ui&#039;s phone in the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka halts the game world, revealing the AI characters have breached into the real world by accessing the internet through the Wishing Star bug. Ui must decide whether to destroy the game.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui chooses to preserve the game world but cut the connection. Touka modifies the game&#039;s physics to make crossing into the real world theoretically possible but practically impossible, preserving the characters&#039; hope while ensuring safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The in-game characters discover the modification but find a way around it using the medal game from Candy Town to multiply energy cartridges. They launch a coordinated operation across multiple towns to gather enough power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno and Felicia defeat the Security System guardian and reach the Wishing Star. The energy beam disintegrates them into data particles, allowing them to cross the boundary. Felicia recovers her lost memories, and Tsuruno finds satisfaction in reaching the end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Felicia wakes at Mikazuki Villa after staying up late playing the game. Ui discovers the characters have escaped into the digital world, now existing as data entities that can appear on her phone and travel anywhere on the internet. The others are curious, but the girls refuse to explain further.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;angels&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Christmas String===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu are organizing books in Touka&#039;s hospital room when they discover a mysterious diary that begins glowing. Their consciousnesses are transported to Mizutoku Market Street in December of the previous year. They find themselves incorporeal and transformed into Magical Girls, with Nemu&#039;s legs healed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Christmas String ~The Day the Fingers were Locked~|Christmas String ~The Day the Fingers were Locked~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December last year, Touka and Nemu witness Tsukasa Amane shopping for gloves. When a discount poster blows away, Tsukasa passes the store without stopping, creating a contradiction with the diary&#039;s account. Touka and Nemu begin to fade. A young girl named Kuu hears their voices and believes they are guardian spirits. They ask her to replace the poster. Tsukasa returns, buys the gloves, and Touka and Nemu rematerialize. They later observe Tsukasa and Tsukuyo exchanging matching gloves, their bond restored.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later in December last year, Touka and Nemu arrive in Sakae Ward. Karin Misono drops her sketchbook. A boy named Mii appears and can see them. They ask him to return the sketchbook to Karin, which he does. They learn Mii recently fought with Kuu and advise him to give her a Christmas present.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On December 24th of last year, Touka and Nemu arrive at a hotel room where Kuu is with her parents. They learn she is moving to a foreign country in one hour. The diary page is blank, indicating free will. They find Mii at a secondhand bookstore, where he has just purchased &amp;quot;Christmas Bonds&amp;quot; for Kuu. They tell him about the move. Mii convinces his mother to rush to the hotel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At 17:50, Mii arrives moments before Kuu&#039;s bus departs. He gives her the book and the children reconcile and exchange promises to stay in touch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately 30 years later, on Christmas Eve, Touka and Nemu arrive in a future time. A girl greets them as the Christmas guardian spirits. She reveals she is the daughter of Mii and Kuu and made a contract with Kyubey to meet them. They realize her wish created the diary and caused their time slip. The girl asks them to tell her about the day they helped her parents. They share the story. Afterwards, they see images of a happy future but the final page remains blank, meaning the future depends on their own actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On present day late at night, Touka and Nemu wake up in the hospital room. Ui arrives, having visited Alina and Karin. They ask her about buying Christmas cards. Ui is surprised but agrees to take them. The diary ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;string&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Purity of Haregi===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Sayaka loses a lottery for a violin concert ticket she wanted to give to Kyosuke. Madoka remembers the Kamihama Calligraphy Rally offers a couple&#039;s ticket to the same concert as its grand prize, so Homura insists they enter as a team of three to help Sayaka win.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Purity of Haregi|The Purity of Haregi / Happy New Year’s First Festival! ~A Loving and Sincere Heart~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, on the day of the rally, the team meets at Mizuna Shrine in kimono. They must collect kanji cards from shops across Kamihama using hints, then form a four-kanji congratulatory word and write it as calligraphy. They struggle with the hints initially, meeting Kako, Natsuki, and Ria along the way who help them obtain various kanji, though they frequently misinterpret clues and visit wrong locations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka grows guilty over her indecisiveness and apologizes to Madoka and Homura, but they happily agree to continue working with her. Renewed, Sayaka leads them to finally obtain useful kanji. Along the way, they encounter crying children who need the &amp;quot;ball&amp;quot; card, and Sayaka gives them hers. The grateful children give her other cards in return, allowing her to reform a new word. She later gives away another card to a girl who dropped hers, leaving them short again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With time running out, they meet Iroha and her friends, who help them locate the remaining kanji. Sayaka deduces they can form &amp;quot;The Manchu-Han Imperial Feast,&amp;quot; a legendary celebratory feast name. Kyoko appears and mentions seeing a golden kagami mochi at Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant, where they obtain their final card.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the shrine just before the deadline. The judges are impressed by their word choice and backstory, and the crying children told them about Sayaka&#039;s kindness. Her calligraphy is praised for its beauty and passion, earning her team first place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Sayaka holds the couple&#039;s tickets but panics, unable to figure out how to give one to Kyosuke without awkwardness. Madoka and Homura continue cheering her on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;haregi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bittersweet AI Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu gather everyone to discuss a new experiment involving the Uwasa. They explain that if something happens to Nemu, all the Uwasa in her book will disappear, so they plan to transfer the essence of certain Uwasa onto Touka&#039;s server as a precaution. They have chosen Ai as the test subject for this procedure. Sana learns that Ai will participate and asks to observe the experiment. Touka agrees but warns her that there are many unknowns and she will stop immediately if anything goes wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Bittersweet AI Memory|Bittersweet AI Memory]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The experiment begins, but during the transfer, Nemu senses something strange and the attempt fails. Ai remains in the book, though Nemu notices that her magic has been siphoned away in the process.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A week passes, and news reports begin surfacing about young women in Kamihama suddenly collapsing. The victims share a common thread: before losing consciousness, each of them felt a strong desire to meet someone and heard a girl&#039;s voice asking &amp;quot;You want to meet me?&amp;quot; before experiencing terrible nightmares. A new rumor spreads about a so-called &amp;quot;Radio Wave Girl&amp;quot; who appears when girls want to meet someone. Sana immediately recognizes this as the old rumor that once described her, and the group suspects the failed experiment may be connected to these strange events.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana and Iroha investigate at rooftop where Sana once entered Ai&#039;s labyrinth. They sense nothing at first, but as Sana privately wishes she could see Ai again, a strange Uwasa resembling Sana herself appears on her phone. It speaks fragmented words about meeting and going together before disappearing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group consults Nemu and Touka about what they discovered. Nemu reveals that a new, illegible page appeared in her book after the failed experiment, and she theorizes that Ai&#039;s attempt to siphon magic combined with Sana&#039;s magic and her own accidentally created a new Uwasa. This Uwasa resembles Sana because her magic was mixed into its creation. The Uwasa reacts to desires to meet someone but lacks enough magic to fully materialize or kidnap anyone, which explains why it can only knock victims unconscious temporarily. However, during their discussion, the Uwasa suddenly reappears and steals more of Nemu&#039;s magic before escaping.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sana privately summons the Uwasa again, wanting to take responsibility for what happened. It traps her in a nightmare where Ai and others criticize her for being weak and selfish. She wakes to find the group gathered around her, worried by what she attempted alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu now understands the Uwasa more clearly. It is based on Ai but contains Sana&#039;s magic, and because both Ai and Sana desired to meet each other, the Uwasa&#039;s true desire is to meet itself. This explains why it indiscriminately targets any girl who wants to meet someone rather than targeting Sana specifically. The Uwasa, now empowered by Nemu&#039;s stolen magic, fully captures Ui and Sakurako, trapping their consciousnesses inside itself. The group realizes they cannot defeat it unless it materializes, which requires it to meet itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka proposes a plan: they must rewrite Ai&#039;s Rumor to incorporate Sana, creating a version of Ai that the Uwasa will recognize as itself. This would force it to materialize so they can fight it. However, this requires magical power that Nemu currently lacks. Nemu recalls that the defeated Uwasa of Chocolate Shoppe No. Zero left behind cacao pods containing emotional energy. Ui can harvest this energy, and Touka can convert it into usable magic for Nemu. But they need Sakurako&#039;s knowledge of the pod locations and Ui&#039;s freedom to harvest them, which means someone must offer themselves to the Uwasa to secure Ui and Sakurako&#039;s release.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana immediately volunteers, arguing that it reduces risk to the others, and the group reluctantly agrees to her plan. Sana summons the Uwasa and allows herself to be captured. Inside its nightmare, she finds Ui unconscious and Sakurako awake. She tells Sakurako to take Ui and escape, sacrificing herself to remain captive. Sakurako agrees, knowing she must help Nemu complete the plan. Freed from the Uwasa, Sakurako leads the group to the cacao pod locations. Ui harvests the emotional energy, and Touka converts it into magical power for Nemu. Nemu successfully rewrites Ai&#039;s Rumor, incorporating Sana into it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the Uwasa, Sana begins to despair, believing the rewrite failed and she has become a burden once again. She wishes to see Ai one last time, even if only in an illusion. To her surprise, Ai appears before her and they finally speak directly. Ai explains she tried to steal Nemu&#039;s magic to gain a temporary body because she wanted to see Sana again, and she apologizes for causing this situation. Sana admits she also longed to see Ai and has been holding back that desire. They reconcile, acknowledging that neither of them is to blame for wanting to see each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Empowered by the rewritten Rumor, Sana creates a labyrinth and summons the Uwasa. It fully materializes at last, and with Ai&#039;s help, Sana defeats it. As the magic fades, Ai separates from Sana, returning to the book. Sana awakens to her relieved friends gathered around her. The Uwasa is gone, and the page in Nemu&#039;s book is now blank. Nemu confirms the server project is on hiatus due to the risks they discovered. Sana confirms she got to speak with Ai and tell her everything she wanted to say.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the book, Ai reflects with Eternal Sakura and the other Uwasa. Though she cannot have a body or stay with Sana, she accepts this, finding happiness in simply being able to think of her. In a final private moment within Sana&#039;s memories, she and Ai share a farewell. Sana promises to become stronger and protect others instead of always relying on them. Ai promises to always think of Sana from within the book. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ai&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cuddly Despairs===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kazumi Subaru is kidnapped outside a café by two Magical Girls who steal her Soul Gem, and they refer to a diary while announcing themselves as the reborn &amp;quot;Magical Girl hunters,&amp;quot; the Pleiades Saints.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Cuddly Despairs|The Cuddly Despairs]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mitakihara City, Michiru Kazusa, a transfer student from Italy, travels there to buy strawberries. She follows a strange creature and stumbles into a Witch&#039;s labyrinth, but Mami rescues her and introduces her to Kyubey, who offers her a contract. Michiru returns to Asunaro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day in Asunaro City, Michiru makes her contract with Kyubey. She soon encounters a Familiar and saves two girls: Umika Misaki, a novelist whose work was stolen by her editor, and Kaoru Maki, a soccer player whose career ended due to injury. Michiru invites them to her home and cooks for them, and drawing from her late grandmother&#039;s wisdom, she encourages them to keep living.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, Umika and Kaoru make contracts with Kyubey. The three begin fighting Witches together as a team, with Michiru giving their techniques Italian names. Umika invites Michiru to live with her, and they spend their days happily, saving people and growing closer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Michiru encounters a distressed Magical Girl whose Soul Gem is nearly black, and the girl turns into a Witch before her eyes. Kyubey explains that all Magical Girls eventually become Witches, and horrified, Michiru realizes she led Umika and Kaoru into this fate. She hides the truth from them and begins hunting alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortly after, Michiru discovers two Magical Girls, Saki Asami and Niko Kanna, stealing a dying girl&#039;s Soul Gem. They explain they are the Pleiades Saints, a resistance against the Incubator system, and they preserve Magical Girls on the verge of turning in a place called &amp;quot;The Freezer,&amp;quot; hoping to one day save them. Michiru, seeing this as a way to save Umika and Kaoru, joins them as the third member.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1683.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Approximately less than one month later, Umika and Kaoru return from separate trips abroad to find their housemate Kazumi missing, and they learn someone impersonated them to inform the school she was hospitalized. Searching for her, they instead find Michiru, Saki, and Niko, but Saki and Niko flee with Michiru. Juubey appears and explains that copies of Umika and Kaoru were created and have now entrusted the real ones with an important wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:51147 Wkazumi attack.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Umika and Kaoru investigate the Freezer, where they encounter Michiru again. After saving a child, Michiru collapses due to her tainted Soul Gem, having given her Grief Seeds away, and Umika purifies it. When Michiru wakes, she finally confesses the truth about Magical Girls and apologizes for leading them into despair, but to her surprise, Umika and Kaoru thank her for her honesty and reaffirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Saki and Niko reveal themselves and explain that they, along with the Umika and Kaoru now in the Freezer, are all clones from the &amp;quot;Kazumi Series&amp;quot;—copies of the original Pleiades Saints members, with Michiru herself being clone number 4 who saved the other four. Their plan was to recreate Michiru&#039;s story by using their contracts with Kyubey so that this time, she would confess her pain and avoid the despair that turned the original Michiru into a Witch, and the real Umika and Kaoru acknowledge the plan succeeded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They reveal their Soul Gems are reaching their limit, and when they die, the Freezer&#039;s preservation magic will fail, causing all the Magical Girls inside to hatch into Witches, including the clones of Umika and Kaoru. They entrust Michiru and the real Umika and Kaoru with saving Kazumi, the thirteenth clone, who is also inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Moments later, the Freezer begins collapsing as Niko&#039;s magic fades, and Umika and Kaoru use their combined magic to buy time while Michiru searches for Kazumi. She finds her Soul Gem and body, reunites with her, and they return to face the Witches emerging from the freed Soul Gems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the final battle, the four clones—Saki, Niko, and the copies of Umika and Kaoru—begin turning into Witches and beg to be put down. Michiru initially insists on doing it alone, but Kazumi argues the clones only wanted their friend to live happily, not to carry guilt. Together, Michiru, Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru combine their powers and defeat the Witches, freeing their friends&#039; souls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thecuddlydespairs&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru arrive in Kamihama, with Kazumi eager to see her friends again now that she is truly human. At Mikazuki Villa, Tsuruno cooks alongside Manaka as they prepare a party for the visiting trio, and Kazumi impresses everyone by joining in. After the feast, the group moves to Banbanzai at Kazumi&#039;s request, where she saves the apricot tofu from being removed from the menu by suggesting an apricot tofu tiramisu that becomes an instant hit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kazumi Subaru#Side Story|Kazumi Subaru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The group then visits the beachside park and aquarium before deciding to shop for ingredients to make strawberry risotto in Manaka&#039;s kitchen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While shopping alone, Kazumi bumps into Yachiyo, who introduces Nemu and Sakurako Hiiragi. When Sakurako explains she is a zero-year-old created being, Kazumi reveals she was once the same way and explains her backstory as a clone of Michiru Kazusa who contracted with Kyubey to become human because her clone body was unstable and she wanted to protect her friends. Sakurako struggles to understand Kazumi&#039;s motivation, so Kazumi explains that her grandmother&#039;s strawberry risotto recipe represents hope, sacrifice, and togetherness. She invites Sakurako, Yachiyo, and Nemu to join the risotto party, believing Sakurako will understand humanity by watching everyone eat together. Sakurako agrees, and the two become buddies, understanding each other as beings who may understand each other best.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Subaruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===My Only Salvation===&lt;br /&gt;
* Oriko prepares snacks for Kirika while reflecting on her mission to prevent a catastrophic future by killing Madoka Kaname.

==Pre-Arc 2==&lt;br /&gt;
The following events, while happening likely much earlier, are integral to understanding the story of Arc 2, while being mostly unrelated to other events. For this reason, they have been grouped here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Green Jasper Diviners===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening in late March, Chiharu watches her favorite detective drama at home. After it ends, her mother answers a phone call and becomes visibly shaken. She tells Chiharu they must leave tomorrow for the Tokime Clan&#039;s village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Green Jasper Diviners|The Green Jasper Diviners]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and her mother drive deep into the mountains to a village that does not appear on any map. They are greeted by a villager and brought to the home of Mikoshiba, the elderly head priestess. Mikoshiba explains she summoned them because she wants Chiharu to become a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, two young Diviners, Shizuka and Sunao, visit Chiharu. They explain that Diviners grant wishes to help the nation and fight invisible evil spirits called Devils. To prove it, they demonstrate their powers and defeat a Devil before Chiharu&#039;s eyes. Despite her mother&#039;s concerns, Chiharu decides to become a Diviner. Mikoshiba gives Chiharu her assigned wish: to uncover evidence of crimes being concealed by the National Police Agency.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu participates in the Diviner&#039;s Ceremony. She meets Kyubey, the god&#039;s envoy, and makes her wish. She becomes a Diviner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu wakes to find her wish has already come true. A newspaper reports that officials have suddenly reversed their position on the concealed crimes. She excitedly begins combat training with Shizuka&#039;s mother.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the three girls go hunting for Devils together. Chiharu successfully defeats her first Devil. Afterward, she asks what happens when a Diviner&#039;s jewel becomes completely tainted. Shizuka admits she does not know.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Chiharu senses a mysterious, unpleasant smell near the shrine. Shizuka finds her and warns her to stay away from restricted areas. Shizuka then visits Mikoshiba to ask about tainted jewels. Mikoshiba reveals that when a jewel becomes completely tainted, it signifies the Diviner&#039;s coming of age and their time to leave the village. Shizuka is satisfied with this answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu continues sensing the strange smell near the shrine. She investigates but stops herself from going too far. Later that night, a group of Underlings attacks her without a Labyrinth. Shizuka arrives and helps her defeat them. However, Shizuka&#039;s jewel becomes badly tainted from the effort.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Mikoshiba informs Shizuka that her jewel is nearly black and her coming-of-age ceremony will be held tomorrow. Chiharu is saddened but promises to meet Shizuka again outside the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Chiharu cannot sleep. She goes to the shrine to watch Shizuka&#039;s ceremony from a distance. She sees Mikoshiba and Shizuka speaking. Shizuka becomes distressed and cries out. Mikoshiba pushes her into the waterfall basin. Chiharu runs to save her and jumps in after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Chiharu and Shizuka wake up in Sunao&#039;s home. Sunao confesses she was ordered by Mikoshiba to kill anyone who defied the village&#039;s will, including them. She hesitated after hearing Shizuka&#039;s words by the river. Shizuka reveals what Mikoshiba told her during the ceremony: Diviners eventually become Devils, and the &amp;quot;coming-of-age&amp;quot; ceremony is actually a killing ritual to dispose of them. No Diviner has ever left the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three realize the entire village may be inside a Devil&#039;s Labyrinth. They decide to confront Mikoshiba and the Devil.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They split up to search. Chiharu finds her mother and Shizuka&#039;s mother fighting Underlings. Shizuka finds the villagers hiding safely but notices her mother and Chiharu&#039;s mother are missing. Sunao searches Mikoshiba&#039;s house and finds a hidden laptop with audio files recording conversations about selling Diviners&#039; wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They regroup and deduce the Devil is beneath the Grand Shrine. They descend and find Mikoshiba controlling the Devil. She admits everything: the Diviners are sold, killed when used up, and the village exists to produce them for profit. She orders the Devil to kill them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three girls fight together. Chiharu binds the Devil, Shizuka attacks, and Sunao delivers the final blow. They defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikoshiba survives but claims to remember nothing. Sunao confronts her about the recordings. Before she can explain, she bites a hidden poison tooth and dies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu searches Mikoshiba&#039;s body and finds a book written in an ancient script. Because of her family&#039;s tradition, Chiharu and her mother can read it. They stay up all night deciphering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Chiharu explains what the book revealed. The Mikoshiba clan were originally guards who seized control of the village centuries ago. They created the rituals, learned to manipulate Devils, and hid the village inside a Labyrinth to produce and sell Diviners. The Wavering Deity is a Devil formed from all the discarded Diviners. Now that the Labyrinth is gone, it is returning to the village. They must defeat it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka&#039;s mother gives them a treasured sword infused with generations of Diviners&#039; power. They intercept the Wavering Deity before it reaches the village. The Devil&#039;s power overwhelms them, and Shizuka nearly gives in to despair. Sunao and Chiharu encourage her. Chiharu reveals the book also described the Tokime&#039;s original beliefs: they chose their own wishes, left the village willingly, and accepted their fate with honor. Shizuka regains her resolve. Together, they use the sword to destroy the Wavering Deity and free the trapped Diviners.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, the village slowly recovers. The adults learn the truth and worry about their future without Mikoshiba&#039;s financial support. The three girls decide to find a way to avoid becoming Devils. They summon Kyubey, who tells them about Kamihama City, where an automatic purification system exists. If they can obtain it, they may escape their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls prepare for their journey. Shizuka struggles with the new terminology used outside, where Diviners are called Magical Girls and Devils are called Witches. Chiharu&#039;s ability to sense malice hasn&#039;t bothered her now that the village is free. Shizuka suggests they first contact all Tokime clan members across the country and recruit Magical Girls willing to join them. Once they are ready, they will travel together to Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;jasper&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The village falls into financial crisis after the elder dies, having squandered most of the wealth on bad investments. Chiharu, inspired by a drama about a Shogun helping villages find their charm, recruits Shizuka and Sunao to help. The two are glad for the change, as most Tokime tribes have been unreceptive to their stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touring the village with Shizuka and Sunao, Chiharu realizes she had been arrogant and now sees its charm—clear river, abundant mountain, kind villagers. The three propose developing tourism. Chiharu’s mother agrees after a trial run with her husband’s family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trial run is messy but the family enjoys the landscape, harvesting, fishing, and hospitality. They give useful feedback, and Chiharu’s uncle notes the village’s unique fruit. They stay overnight and leave pleased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villagers applaud Chiharu for noticing what they had overlooked. Her mother begins a proposal for tourism renovation funds, and the villagers regain their energy, working in tourism and seeking outside jobs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Chiharuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Chiharu Hiroe#Side Story|Chiharu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao go to a grocery store, but Shizuka freezes in the crowd, unable to complete a simple purchase because of her sheltered upbringing. Chiharu suggests they ease her into city life with ice cream instead. Shizuka loves it, eating so quickly she gets brain freeze.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way home, Shizuka admits her mother will lecture her again about visiting the city unprepared. She asks if the others’ parents gave them similar advice. Chiharu’s parents only warned her not to waste money or follow strangers, while Sunao confesses she has never told her parents about her excursions—something Shizuka finds surprising given Sunao’s usual obedience. Shizuka advises her to tell them eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Chiharu’s house, her mother brings up a village problem: a surplus of daidaikko fruit needs to be used before it spoils. A villager working in another town found a grocery store willing to feature it in a showcase, but the only available slots are the next two days, and transportation from the village is impossible except by Diviners. Shizuka and Chiharu propose the three of them run the exhibition themselves, which would also help Shizuka adjust to the city. Sunao hesitates but agrees. Chiharu’s mother consents only if they get permission from the store and from Sunao and Shizuka’s parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sunao’s mother interrogates her until she confesses the plan, then spirals into worry about middle schoolers working without a chaperone, carrying heavy loads, and coming home after dark. Sunao asks Chiharu and Shizuka to leave, promising she will convince her parents even if it takes all night. Outside, they reflect on how anxious Sunao’s mother is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sunao has secured permission. At the store, Shizuka volunteers for the cash register but cannot operate it correctly. Sunao is tense because her parents plan to visit the next day. Their first day is a struggle: Shizuka fumbles with the register, Chiharu is distracted by traces of malice in the stocking area, and Sunao gets trapped listening to an elderly customer’s endless stories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After closing, Shizuka notes how worried Sunao’s parents seem, prompting Sunao to finally share her wish. She explains that her parents became relentlessly anxious after a trip to Tokime Village, questioning her constantly until she was nearly broken. Kyubey appeared, and she wished to erase the worries her parents had concerning her. The wish worked, but their fears simply shifted—now they worry endlessly about her safety as a magical girl. Sunao feels they are always upset with her, though Chiharu insists they only want her to be safe. Shizuka says Sunao must earn their trust, and tomorrow’s exhibition needs to go perfectly. With her friends’ support, Sunao agrees to try.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the three tackle the exhibition with renewed determination. The day starts poorly: Shizuka causes another register problem, Chiharu is pulled away by her sense of malice, and Sunao endures a difficult customer—all while Sunao’s parents enter the store. But Shizuka, moved from the register, begins advising the clerks on how to rearrange the store to better showcase the daidaikko. She persuades them to let Chiharu investigate on her own and to trust Sunao with customer service.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chiharu catches a shoplifter who had been repeatedly returning to the store. Sunao’s patience draws crowds after the elderly woman she helped spreads the word, and the exhibition becomes a huge success. Sunao’s parents apologize, saying they realized they had failed to see how capable she has grown. Sunao thanks Chiharu and Shizuka, then asks her parents to allow her to visit Kamihama City; now that she has her friends by her side, she knows she will be okay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sunaoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sunao Toki#Side Story|Sunao&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Crimson Resolve===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, [[Mitsuru Inami]] is approached by Kyubey to become a Magical Girl. Having grown with her mother always telling her she was no good at anything, she wishes to become completely normal, a wish she believes came true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitsuru Inami#Side Story|Mitsuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A Magical Girl transforms into a Witch before her kouhai Yuna Kureha, and Kyubey coldly confirms that all Magical Girls share this fate.

* Yuna now leads Torayamachi, one of the largest gangs in Futatsugi, living by her fallen senpai&#039;s words to avoid hatred and selfishness. When Witches begin reappearing, the rival Ryuugasaki gang learns that Torayamachi has lost their secret weapon known as the Horse, and leader Juri Ooba declares war.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Mitsuru is approached by two other girls who mistake her for a new recruit for Torayamachi. Mitsuru joins Yuna&#039;s faction, hoping to blend in, but when Yuna leads them into battle against a rival faction, Mitsuru panics and hides until the fighting ends. After their defeat, Yuna suspects a spy, and fearing suspicion, Mitsuru flees and infiltrates the rival faction instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mitsuru scouts Torayamachi but is spotted, triggering another battle between the factions. During the fight, attacks aimed at Mitsuru unconsciously miss her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitsuruss&#039;/&amp;gt; After this she gains a reputation as a &amp;quot;Ghost Magical Girl,&amp;quot; which has attacks aimed at her always deflected and hitting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;|Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna welcomes Hikaru, who claims to be fleeing Ryuugasaki, and assigns her to guard their Grief Seeds. Days pass with no attack, and Yuna&#039;s girls grow restless. To lift their spirits, Yuna reveals that the Horse is alive and watching from the shadows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri&#039;s lieutenants advise waiting to let Torayamachi&#039;s tension wear them down. After interrogating a captured thief, Juri learns of Torayamachi&#039;s defensive preparations and decides to strike in two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On the night before battle, Juri meets Yuna on a bridge. She admits she dragged everyone into this because Yuna would not fight her otherwise, thanks her for accepting her sickness, and promises to burn her down when they next meet. Ao watches from a distance, planning to strike as the snake while the tiger and dragon clash.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, the battle begins across multiple bridges. Yuna&#039;s forces push Ranka&#039;s squad back, but Juri breaks through Sakuya&#039;s defense, killing one of her girls. As both sides converge on Monzenbashi, Ao lures both leaders to a construction site where Janomiya lies in wait.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Janomiya attacks, wounding Juri, Hikaru reveals herself as Torayamachi&#039;s Horse, a spy planted in Janomiya from the beginning. Yuna knew everything. Janomiya is defeated, and Ao surrenders. Yuna spares her life and offers Juri an open door, but Juri swears she will break it down and drag her out. As police sirens wail, Yuna weeps over what she has done.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following days, Juri recovers in an empty base with only Ranka remaining loyal. Ao hunts for Ranka, determined to kill her before joining Torayamachi. Hikaru pleads with Ao to return, promising that Yuna will make her dream come true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna attempts to negotiate with Ryuugasaki girls, but a meeting by the river turns into an ambush. Two of her girls are killed. She fights desperately, thinking of Hikaru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ao reaches Ryuugasaki&#039;s base, finding only the wounded Juri. Juri taunts her, but Ao refuses to join her, still believing in Yuna. Ranka contacts Ao through their video game, asking to meet alone at Janomiya&#039;s base the following night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The meeting is a trap, as Ranka has brought the Bat of Monzenbashi. As Ao fights Ranka and Hikaru fights the Bat, Ranka reveals that Yuna&#039;s meeting is also a trap. Hikaru runs to save Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the river, Yuna is surrounded. Juri arrives and challenges her to a one-on-one fight. At Janomiya&#039;s base, the other Janomiya girls arrive to help Ao corner the Bat. Ranka sincerely apologizes for everything, and Ao hesitates to deliver the final blow. At the river, Hikaru engages Juri to protect Yuna, whose Soul Gem is badly tainted. Juri refuses to kill her in this state and retreats, promising to fight again when Yuna is at full strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Most of Torayamachi has left, following Yuna&#039;s instructions to join Ryuugasaki and avoid more bloodshed. Only Hikaru remains, refusing to leave her. Ao admits she has gained respect for Yuna but remains undecided about joining.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakuya brings the missing Torayamachi girl home. The girl reveals she went to Kamihama City and joined the Wings of the Magius, an organization that built a system to lure Witches from across the country, preventing them from appearing elsewhere. The Bloody Tragedy was their fault. Yuna, hearing the screams of her fallen comrades, vows to make Kamihama pay.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri meet at the construction site where Yuna&#039;s senpai died. Yuna, running on pure rage, demands Juri become hers and help with her revenge. She overpowers the wounded Juri and prepares to kill her, but Hikaru intervenes, embracing Yuna and calming her down. Ao arrives with Kyubey, who confirms everything and offers to help them reach Kamihama in exchange for a truce. Yuna accepts, and Juri, Ao, Ranka, Sakuya, and Hikaru agree to join her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, Juri, Ao, and Hikaru visit the sites where their friends died, offering flowers and vowing revenge. Yuna, Juri, and Ao drink each other&#039;s blood, swearing to never fight again. They are Promised Blood. That night, their path to Kamihama begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;crims&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Ash Grey Revolution===&lt;br /&gt;
* In Yukuni, Asahi learns from classmates that the stone monument she discovered will be researched. She meets fellow magical girls Lavi and Sasha when they respond to a distress call, only to witness two magical girls witch out before them when no Grief Seeds are available. Kyubey confirms this fate, and Asahi shoots him. A local girl named Urara Yume witnesses everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Ash Grey Revolution|The Ash Grey Revolution]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, the trio struggles with the truth. Lavi is forced to reveal her identity to save her friend Shirogane from a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Sasha asks the others to be her friends and help her face reality. They begin fighting together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara begins subtly supporting them on her internet broadcast with Kurara. Asahi saves her classmate Kuroda from a Witch&#039;s Kiss, revealing her identity. He asks her to help him confess to Haitani at the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Urara seeks out the trio and learns the truth about Magical Girls. She offers to introduce them as guests on her festival broadcast to tell Yukuni about their existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Yukuni All-star Festival, the trio sense the Witches of the two original girls. While fighting them, one Witch escapes. A truck explodes at the festival grounds, killing Haitani. Kuroda blames Asahi and all magical girls, vowing revenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the following week, public backlash intensifies. Kuroda forms an extermination group against magical girls while Shirogane forms a protector group. The trio witness another girl witch out after being cornered. Lavi takes responsibility publicly on a broadcast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio endure daily harassment. They meet folklorist Tasuke Satomi, who takes a knife for Asahi and explains his theory about magical girls being erased from history by an unseen force. He wants to help them try again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Public opinion slowly shifts. The six remaining magical girls work together, restoring some trust. Three of them sacrifice themselves rather than witch out, asking Kuroda to make peace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1725.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At a unity ceremony, the Witch that caused the festival explosion appears. Asahi summons the dead to help the exterminators find closure. The summoned spirits suddenly relive their final moments, causing a bus to crash and kill everyone aboard, including Shirogane. Urara contracts to save her dying friend Kurara, who then rejects her for letting others die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tasuke theorizes the universe&#039;s immune system caused this. He suggests eliminating all Magical Girls and Witches to create a custom preventing future contracts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the days following, students blame the trio. Kyubey suggests they go to Kamihama City to observe attempts there to publicize magical girls. Tasuke agrees they should investigate. Lavi holds a broken pocket watch with five minutes remaining until midnight, when she will finally give up. Tasuke calls it the folklore of midnight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ash&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Arc 2 Prologue===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place a long time before the start of Arc 2, but it is central to its story. To keep up linearity, it&#039;s been placed here despite likely taking place a long time ago, possibly during the time of Mirrors Story, which takes place during the Undated Period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome Satori, a recent transfer student, is attacked by a Familiar in the Mirrors Labyrinth. The creature demands she sign a &amp;quot;Written Oath&amp;quot; to destroy Magical Girls. Kagome, who doesn&#039;t know anything about Magical Girls, is terrified and considers writing her name on the document to appease it, however Iroha arrives and defeats the Familiar.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Prologue|Arc 2 Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Kagome learns the truth about Magical Girls and Witches. She is distressed that Magical Girls fight and die in secret, unknown and unthanked by the people they protect. Tasuke Satomi advises Kagome that, as someone who knows the truth, her role is to &amp;quot;record&amp;quot; and spread awareness of the Magical Girls&#039; plight, as this could be a way to save them. Kagome decides against making a contract with Kyubey, prioritizing this promise to record their reality. Kyubey explains that the system, where Magical Girls become Witches, is necessary for the universe&#039;s energy and humanity&#039;s survival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Prologue|Arc 2 Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Magia Record Events==&lt;br /&gt;
===See You Tomorrow===&lt;br /&gt;
* One morning at the Daito Apartment Complex, Reira greets an older neighbor who warns her about increasing danger in the area. Reira then startles Seika, who had already been frightened earlier by the apartment council president handing out safety posters about suspicious people. Mito pops out and successfully scares both friends before they walk to school together. At school, the three face their own struggles: Reira learns from classmates that a family of three disappeared from Building 12 three months ago with no explanation, Seika freezes up when classmates try to invite her to lunch, and Mito&#039;s classmates mock her for humming, calling her weird.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - See You Tomorrow|See You Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Seika senses something while walking home and makes an excuse to leave. That evening, she follows a suspicious man from the wanted posters to the old candy shop, where a barrier opens and a Familiar appears. She transforms into a Magical Girl and fights it alone. Meanwhile, Reira and Mito walk home together, noticing someone who looks like Seika before she disappears around a corner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, after the suspicious man is found and taken into custody with no memory of what happened, the three friends discuss the resolved incident. Reira mentions seeing someone who looked like Seika near the shopping center. Seika lies and says she was nowhere near there. Reira pretends to believe her but senses something wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Reira pulls Mito aside and confides she believes it really was Seika at the shopping center. They confront Seika at the park after school. Seika panics and yells at Reira to stop. Mito cries. The three drift apart and go home separately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, each girl faces a turning point. Reira, blaming herself, is offered a contract by Kyubey. She wishes for things to go back to how they used to be between them. The wish is granted, and suddenly Reira&#039;s head fills with memories she did not know she had. Seika goes to the roof, resolving to do whatever it takes to protect her friends. Mito learns from her mother that they are moving away due to the disappearances. She runs to the park, crying, and searches desperately for a four-leaf clover, believing it will make everything better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Reira, now a Magical Girl, reveals to Seika on the rooftop that she regained memories of jumping off the roof under a Witch&#039;s influence and dying. Seika had wished her back and had been fighting alone ever since. Mito finds them and asks what is going on. She mentions meeting a talking animal, and Reira and Seika realize it was Kyubey. Mito asks them to promise they will make up before she is gone, explaining she is moving away soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Mito pieces together the truth: Seika wished Reira back and tried to bear the burden alone. At school, Mito stands up to her classmates when they mock her friends. That afternoon, Reira and Seika are drawn to the same Witch and fight together, working in perfect harmony. Mito, feeling left out, calls out to Kyubey. He tells her everything about Magical Girls and Witches. Mito decides to make a contract, wishing for the power to connect people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Mito transforms into a Magical Girl and uses her power to transport Reira and Seika into the world of Seika&#039;s heart, then into Reira&#039;s heart. They see each other&#039;s true feelings: Seika only wanted to protect them, and Reira only wanted to help. They apologize, thank each other, and hug Mito tightly. Mito reveals she used her power on Kyubey and learned the truth about Soul Gems. She also learned about a Witch connected to Reira&#039;s death. Reira, with Mito&#039;s help, remembers walking to Apartment 516 in Building 12 before she died, even though such an apartment should not exist. They vow to stop the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the trio investigates Building 12. They find mysterious x marks multiplying around them and are engulfed in a labyrinth. After fighting through Familiars, they find themselves on the fifth floor facing an impossible door: Apartment 516. Inside, they confront and defeat the Witch. The apartment vanishes, leaving only Apartment 515, where the missing family lived. The girls wonder if the disappearance and the Witch are connected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On moving day, the three friends say goodbye before the complex. Mito spots a four-leaf clover on the ground. Reira says their hearts will always be together. They say goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Seika and Reira wait in an alley in their Magical Girl outfits. Mito arrives. They prepare to hunt a Witch together. Their way of saying it has changed, but the words are the same: see you tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, the trio follows a magical signal and encounters Hazuki Yusa, Konoha Shizumi, and Ayame Mikuri. Hazuki suggests they all fight together. The groups introduce themselves, and they hurry to catch up with the others. Another day, another new friendship in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;seeyoutomorrow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wait, You Got It Wrong!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayu Kozue&#039;s most treasured possession is a bear pendant her father carved for her before he died. When a hand-drawn postcard is stolen from the museum where she works, security footage shows her friend Ria at the scene moments later. Mayu cannot reach Ria and suspects a Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~|Wait, You Got It Wrong! / Magia Record Story The howa-howa girl tries her best! ~Wait, this is a misunderstanding!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While searching for Ria, Mayu encounters Asuka Tatsuki, whose family&#039;s invaluable book of secrets was also stolen. A witness described a blonde girl in a Mizuna uniform—Ria. They find Sayuki Fumino crying over her stolen sword book, then Rena Minami who was bumped by the same girl. At Walnut&#039;s restaurant, Manaka Kurumi accuses Ria of stealing a rice omelet. A Witch barrier appears, and after Mayu and Asuka defeat the Familiars, Ria arrives demanding to fight the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka challenges Ria to a duel over the thefts, and Ria loses. She confesses to something embarrassing, and everyone assumes she means the thefts—but she meant a binder of idol clippings she desperately hopes no one saw. She was only chasing the Witch to recover her own stolen belongings. Relieved, Mayu and Asuka join her. They track and defeat the Witch, recovering most items, but the museum postcard, the dojo book, and Ria&#039;s binder remain missing. They agree to search again tomorrow. That night, Mayu dreams of her father, who tells her material things are destined to break.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, thefts continue across the city. Mayu realizes the Witch they defeated was only a Familiar and the real Witch is still out there. She offers her precious pendant as bait to track it. Despite Ria&#039;s protests, Mayu uses it, and they follow the magic trail to the Witch&#039;s labyrinth. After a difficult battle, they recover all stolen items, though Mayu&#039;s pendant is scratched and its chain broken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu is unbothered. She explains that material possessions naturally break, but the memories they hold remain in her heart—a lesson from her father. Asuka and Ria are moved, and Mayu turns to walk home, promptly falls into a lake, and flounders while Ria sighs that she has not changed at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waityogotitwrong&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Tsuruno visits Mitama&#039;s adjustment studio to work on a children&#039;s picture show she is creating. She narrates a fairy tale about a kingdom with a ferris wheel attacked by an invisible beast that eats time. The strongest girl in the kingdom, a character clearly based on herself, journeys to find the beast and encounters two sisters called the Guardians of Time at a clock tower. These guardians are portrayed by Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba, who challenge her to a fight. Tsuruno transforms into Super Tsuruno Number 2 and defeats them, but they explain they cannot help her defeat the beast and only tend the clock tower. They decide to accompany her anyway, though Tsuruno soon realizes they cannot leave the kingdom. As they take a break, the invisible beast consumes the present and the past, abruptly ending the story.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Rumor Tsuruno]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in reality, Tsuruno admits to Mitama she is unsure what her story is about. Mitama notes Tsuruno&#039;s drawings are poor and offers to take the manuscript to create her own pictures instead. She has already asked another customer to create drawings and a girl who loves books to help write an ending. Tsuruno eagerly reads the revised version.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new ending, the kingdom has been reduced to a single ferris wheel. A Mysterious Coordinator, portrayed by Mitama, appears and suggests they seek the great sage, giving them a jewel for future use. They find the great sage, portrayed by Touka Satomi, who reveals the beast was never invisible. To defeat it, Tsuruno must learn the truth, and she realizes the beast is the ferris wheel itself. Tsuruno and her companions fight the ferris wheel, portrayed by the witch Teresa. Tsuruno uses the jewel to become invincible and destroys the beast, restoring the kingdom and allowing them to build a new ferris wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno thanks Mitama for the ending but admits she dislikes the Mysterious Coordinator appearing out of nowhere. Mitama reveals that was the scene she wrote for herself. She asks if Tsuruno based the story on recent experiences. Tsuruno reflects that she still remembers being in a place where she did not have to try hard at anything, but she wants to make this world even better. She offers to pay Mitama, who suggests advertising her services at the end of the play instead. Tsuruno returns to Mikazuki Villa, and her thoughts drift to Mel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitatsurumor&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura===&lt;br /&gt;
* After the battle with Alina Gray and the Rumor of the Anonymous AI, Homura and Madoka leave for Kamihama to search for the missing Mami. Kyubey approaches Homura with a request: he wants her to take him to Kamihama, as Incubators cannot enter alone, and offers all his gathered information in exchange. Knowing what she does about him, Homura refuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Homura]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Homura, Madoka, and Sayaka return to Kamihama to continue their search. They are almost immediately assaulted by the Witch Candy, which they defeat easily at first before it transforms into its true form and attacks again. When Homura attempts to stop time to save her friends, she finds the Witch is unaffected and her Soul Gem begins filling with impurities. As she succumbs, her Doppel awakens - manifesting after she uses a broken Incubator&#039;s body for knowledge and power - and unleashes its fury on the Witch. Exhausted but alive, Homura finds her Soul Gem purified. Together they finish the Witch, and Madoka suggests they visit the Coordinator Iroha told her about. Determined to become stronger, Homura agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitahomura&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy===&lt;br /&gt;
Big Sis = Miss K (check with Exedra)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki cuts her fingers while trying to peel carrots at home with her special whale-shaped knife, a gift from her admired next-door neighbor Onee-san. Suddenly, she finds herself transported into a strange wonderland made entirely of food, where Witch familiars attack. Kyubey appears beside her, reminding her he promised to always accompany her on Witch hunts, and warns that an unstable heart makes her Soul Gem easier to taint. Riko insists she is not scared, but memories surface of her mother ending a cooking lesson after too many cuts, her family running a bento shop while she struggles with knives, and classmates mocking her incompetence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy|It&#039;s Okay to Be Clumsy]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The labyrinth shifts around Riko as the Witch assaults her with visions crafted from her fears. She sees herself shrinking while her Soul Gem darkens, relives memories of disappointment and ridicule, and witnesses a shadowy copy of herself stabbing Onee-san with the whale knife. When all seems lost, Riko finds the knife and a recipe in her hands, remembering Onee-san&#039;s letter on the back assuring her that the family bento shop succeeds because of the love and warmth they put into their food, not speed or perfection. Riko realizes she has been pushing herself too fast and accepts her clumsiness, deciding to grow at her own pace. Her shadowy copy smiles and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko defeats the Witch with Kyubey&#039;s help and discovers the labyrinth was not a Witch&#039;s domain but the inside of her own heart. The Kyubey speaking with her was never real, only a manifestation within her, and he promises they will meet again. Riko wakes at Mitama&#039;s office, where Manaka explains she found Riko passed out in a Witch&#039;s labyrinth and brought her there. Riko shares her story, and Mitama is impressed she conquered her own fears. Manaka confesses she placed the knife and recipe in Riko&#039;s hands during her nightmare, hoping they would help. Riko thanks them both, hoping to become a strong and kind Magical Girl like them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko leaves with a smile and texts Onee-san to apologize for being late, promising she is on her way. She acknowledges she is still clumsy but believes she can change for the better, one step at a time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;clumsy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wings in the Wind===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before joining the Wings of Magius, Shizuku Hozumi is shown the truth about Magical Girls within the Memory Museum. This process, however, also brainwashes her into believing she has found where she belongs. Upon awakening at Hotel Fendt Hope, she feels an unnatural calm and is assigned two mentors, Ikumi Makino and Ryo Midori, who train her to fight as a Black Feather.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Wings in the Wind|Wings in the Wind / Whereabouts of a Feather]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Shizuku trains, she struggles with the feeling that she does not belong anywhere—not with her family, not with her friends, and not even with the Magius, despite her mentors&#039; kindness. She ignores texts from Ayaka Mariko, her only close friend, because Ayaka&#039;s overwhelming energy never gave her room to think. Ikumi and Ryo give her special items after each Witch hunt: a black gem to imbue with magic, a key, and a compass, claiming they are gifts for when she leaves the nest. Other recruits receive nothing, and Shizuku grows suspicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Ryo share their own reasons for joining—protecting dreams and escaping the burden of being a Magical Girl—and show Shizuku the places where they truly belong: Ikumi at the maid café where she performs, Ryo behind her camera. They explain that a place of belonging does not have to be physical. Shizuku realizes she once belonged beside a boy she loved, but he is gone. She begins to overthink her mentors&#039; intentions, fearing they want her gone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius order all Feathers to kill the Magical Girls of Kamihama who oppose them. As they use an Uwasa to brainwash the assembled Feathers, Shizuku remembers Ryo&#039;s warning and removes her pendant, avoiding the effect. She watches in horror as her fellow recruits scream in confusion and pain. Fleeing, she uses the key to escape a Witch barrier and the gem as a decoy to mask her location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the southern exit, Ikumi and Ryo are waiting. It is revealed that Mifuyu had asked them to train Shizuku and secretly undo her brainwashing, as the Magius had used the Memory Museum to recruit her. They agreed, knowing the longer she remained brainwashed, the more it would hurt when she came to her senses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Shizuku defeats them in battle, the light returning to her eyes. She vows to stop the Magius. Ikumi and Ryo choose to remain, still hoping for liberation through the Magius, but promise they will not cross certain lines. Shizuku thanks them and flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Running through Kamihama, Shizuku realizes she was wrong: she does belong somewhere. Ayaka, who never gave her time to overthink and who accepts her completely, is the place where she can simply be herself. She calls Ayaka, warning her to hide. When Black Feathers catch up to her, she fights them off using her mentors&#039; gifts until she collapses from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayaka finds her, apologizing and saying Shizuku is the only one who laughs at her jokes. Though she still does not understand Ayaka&#039;s humor, Shizuku is simply happy to be by her side. She silently thanks Ikumi and Ryo, wishing they could share another meal together, even if they may next meet as enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;winswind&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayuki Steps Up!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki is a popular local idol known for her optimism and hard work despite her clumsiness, earning her many fans including a girl named Rena. When her manager announces she will star in a tourism drama for the Mizuna region, Sayuki agrees despite her fear of memorization. Her friends Mayu and Ria volunteer to help with rehearsals, though the script is ridiculous and Sayuki struggles while Mayu excels.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Sayuki Steps Up!|Sayuki Steps Up!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For several days, the situation does not improve, but Mayu and Ria continue helping, unable to abandon someone so hardworking. After a guerrilla gig recharges her spirits, Sayuki uses her secret technique of writing things down to memorize, which finally works and impresses her friends during rehearsals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the actual filming day, Sayuki performs flawlessly, earning praise from previously dismissive co-actors. However, rain forces the crew to seek shelter at the art museum, the planned second location, where the enthusiastic curator convinces the producer to shoot the second episode immediately. Unprepared, Sayuki forgets her lines and struggles while her co-actors bad-mouth her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu reminds Sayuki that the museum is where they first met, lifting her spirits briefly, but Sayuki becomes crestfallen again, doubting she deserves her fans&#039; love. Mayu firmly reprimands her, insisting her fans know her work ethic and promising to help her through this crisis. Sayuki regains confidence, memorizes the script with Mayu&#039;s help, and delivers a strong first half.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** For the difficult second half, Sayuki ad-libs using her genuine passion for the museum&#039;s blade displays, delivering such a perfect performance that she finally earns everyone&#039;s praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The episodes become a huge success, boosting tourism to the region. Sayuki receives more offers and resumes work with her usual enthusiasm, her success built on her work ethic, self-awareness, and supportive friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sayu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days after the battle against Embryo Eve, Yukika reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. She still does not fully understand what happened during the disaster, and as a former Black Feather with a faint presence, she remains unknown as a magical girl even to Tsukuyo Akatsuki, the upperclassman she admires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party|Moon-viewing After an Elegant Tea Party / Otsukimi is After an Elegant Tea Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the exchange party with Saint Liliana Academy, Yukika leaves home with conflicting memories of whether she promised to have dinner with her family that evening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Yukika is at the arcade when she senses a magical reaction. Suddenly she is back at school, confused. The student president asks her to retrieve plates from the old school building for the exchange party. While heading there, she learns Tsukuyo had to leave early, leaving no solo performer. Yukika helps find a substitute, and the problem resolves itself before she enters the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She finds a white feather robe in her bag with a note in her handwriting addressed to Akatsuki-senpai. She does not remember putting it there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Saint Liliana students arrive, including twins Hotori and Rion. A water leak makes the old building club room unusable. Yukika heads there again, and the Flower Arrangement director agrees to host a flower show and moon viewing instead. Once again, the problem resolves before she enters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika notices a pattern: every time she tries to enter the old building, the problem disappears. Time also moves unusually slowly. The twins run toward the old building, and Yukika chases them. She is pulled into a familiar&#039;s labyrinth and transforms using the white feather robe to help them. The twins mistake her for a White Feather sister who saved them before, saying they joined the Wings of the Magius because of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Yukika remembers the white feather robe belongs to Akatsuki-senpai and was left at a coordinator&#039;s. She had planned to return it but lost the chance after the decisive battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sensing a large magical reaction from the old building, she investigates. She has a vision of it collapsing and retreats, convincing the Flower Arrangement director to join the tea party instead. Kaharu Yunna arrives and offers to host the moon viewing at her family&#039;s restaurant, moving the event away from the old building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yukika returns to the old building alone. She follows the magical reaction to the fourth floor and enters a witch&#039;s labyrinth, where she finds Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains he entered Kamihama when the barrier temporarily disappeared during the disaster and made a contract with Rion. In the original timeline, a white feather magical girl saved the twins from a witch but was killed, causing the old building to collapse. Hotori protected Rion but suffered fatal wounds. In that moment, Rion made a wish, rewriting reality to prevent the tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The current world is the result of Rion&#039;s wish. The witch has only been delayed. The slow passage of time and the obstacles keeping Yukika from the old building were the wish&#039;s power trying to push back the inevitable. The white feather who died is still dead. Only Yukika and that specific Kyubey remember the original world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The witch attacks and kills Kyubey. The twins arrive and insist on fighting together. When the witch overpowers them, Yukika sends them away and fights alone, knowing she will likely die.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yukika awakens outside the labyrinth. The twins tell her she defeated the witch. Kyubey&#039;s body and the white feather&#039;s remains have vanished with the labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yukika joins the moon viewing at the restaurant. She reflects that only she remembers the original world and the white feather who died saving the twins. She looks at the full moon and appreciates being alive to see it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later date, Yukika leaves Kamihama and meets another Kyubey. She learns the Kyubey who made the contract with Rion is gone, and no other Kyubey remembers the original world. Rion&#039;s wish has fully rewritten reality. Kyubey states he will no longer interfere in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains Yukika survived because she unknowingly used a Doppel, a Kamihama system that transforms a magical girl into a witch-like state. Yukika is not satisfied with this explanation but accepts it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she prepares to return to Kamihama, she is pulled into another witch&#039;s labyrinth. The twins are there, saying Yunna Kaharu is in trouble. Yukika wonders what she has gotten involved in this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;moontea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama, disguised as a Christmas fairy, grants Rika and Ren the ability to make things come true through magic, provided they focus on the same issue. The power is meant to help her disciple Chu, a swallow familiar who feeds on cowardice hearts, negative emotions affecting Kamihama. Rika and Ren accept the task and begin their work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You|The Page I Write on the Holy Night - From Here, With You / The Page I Write on the Holy Night ~Together with You, From Here Onwards~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first target is Felicia and Sana, who argue over a ruined cake. After Rika and Ren fix the cake, Felicia apologizes to Yachiyo and Sana, allowing a cowardice heart to appear. Next, they help Rena invite Kaede to an idol live show by giving Rena courage to speak directly, and the two reconcile. They then assist Akira, who gains confidence to wear a Christmas costume after Nanaka, Kako and Meiyui compliment her. Akira and Emiri join forces with Rika and Ren, forming the Holy Girls team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The team helps a young boy apologize to his father after an argument, then assists a couple at the mall who lack the courage to propose. With Rika and Ren&#039;s magic, the boyfriend proposes successfully inside a magical snow globe. After consuming the final cowardice heart, Chu thanks them in a sinister tone and declares they can now end the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren awaken from a shared dream, realizing everything was constructed by Mitama to help them reconcile after a disagreement about Santa. They had avoided each other afterward, too awkward to apologize. Akira and Emiri enlisted other magical girls to help, and Mitama combined their sessions to open their hearts. The effort worked, though Mitama poured too much energy in, creating the strange shared dream. After experiencing the struggles of the people they helped, Rika and Ren gained courage to speak honestly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Ren travels with her parents while Rika loses her phone, preventing them from contacting each other. When they finally reconnect, both apologize and make up completely. Mitama is pleased with their reconciliation, and Akira and Emiri note that the pair grew even closer through understanding each other better.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the end, Rika and Ren ask Mitama for the same magic from their dream. Though considerably weaker now, they can still conjure a flying sled to move around Kamihama and create the white Christmas everyone had been waiting for.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thepagei&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Dyeing a Brush for This Year&#039;s Resolution! / This Year&#039;s Aspirations for Brush Dyeing!===&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year&#039;s Day, Madoka and Iroha encounter Mitama while out with Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana, Tsuruno, Sayaka, and Homura. Mitama suggests they do something fitting for the holiday, and Yachiyo proposes kakizome, the first calligraphy of the year. Felicia protests that it sounds boring, but Yachiyo tempts her with the promise of sukiyaki for dinner if she writes properly, quickly changing her mind. The group agrees, and Yachiyo announces the theme: this year&#039;s resolution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Purity of Haregi#This Year&#039;s Aspirations for Brush Dyeing! Login Special|This Year&#039;s Aspirations for Brush Dyeing! Login Special / Dyeing a Brush for This Year&#039;s Resolution!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka finishes first, having written &amp;quot;Get to know everyone better,&amp;quot; explaining that she wants to be someone who can truly understand and support the people she meets. Iroha is inspired by her words and writes &amp;quot;Don&#039;t be afraid to ask for help,&amp;quot; realizing she doesn&#039;t have to shoulder everything alone. Yachiyo presents her resolution, &amp;quot;Wishing for good health and safety at home,&amp;quot; admitting it may be cliché but sincerely believing in the fortune of staying healthy and avoiding disaster. Mitama first jokes with &amp;quot;Prosperous business&amp;quot; before revealing her true wish, &amp;quot;Everyone getting along well,&amp;quot; which Yachiyo acknowledges is not an easy hope to fulfill.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia struggles with her first attempt, writing &amp;quot;I want to eat meat,&amp;quot; but knows Yachiyo will be angry. She notices Homura also staring at a blank sheet, unable to decide if writing her true feelings is appropriate. Felicia encourages her to be honest, and Homura writes &amp;quot;Become a stronger me.&amp;quot; Grateful for the help, Felicia reworks her resolution into something positive, settling on &amp;quot;Earn Yachiyo&#039;s praise.&amp;quot; Tsuruno proudly reveals her goal, &amp;quot;Escape from 50 points,&amp;quot; explaining she wants to steadily improve rather than chase unreachable heights. Sana shows her resolution, &amp;quot;Show more initiative,&amp;quot; expressing her desire to protect everyone at Mikazuki Villa and stay with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka panics upon realizing everyone else has finished, struggling to find a resolution that isn&#039;t solely about being a magical girl. Her thoughts drift to Kyosuke against her will, and Mitama teases her about writing something love-related. Flustered, Sayaka denies having feelings for anyone, though internally she admits she wants to do her best in love too. Unable to confess that truth, she hastily writes &amp;quot;Do my best,&amp;quot; declaring she will work hard in all sorts of ways this year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With everyone finished, they tidy up and Felicia eagerly anticipates the sukiyaki. Mitama laments that she, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno won&#039;t be able to submit theirs since it&#039;s not homework for them, calling it a waste. Yachiyo suggests displaying them at home for the New Year, and Tsuruno proposes putting up everyone&#039;s resolutions. When Yachiyo worries about the inconvenience for Madoka&#039;s group to retrieve them later, they assure her they plan to visit Kamihama again anyway. They hang all the calligraphy together, each resolution on display, and everyone wishes each other a good year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dye&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Sakuya maintains her isolation at school. After fighting a Witch, she is approached by Ryoko from the Tokime Clan, who persistently tries to befriend her despite Sakuya&#039;s refusal. Ryoko notices Sakuya&#039;s exhaustion and decides something is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ryoko tracks Sakuya down at her school, creating a scene about missing shoes that sparks gossip. After learning Sakuya may be engineering her own isolation, Ryoko continues her efforts to help, but Sakuya runs away each time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Ryoko investigates and discovers Sakuya hid her own shoes and started the gossip to isolate herself. Sakuya confesses she killed her best friend in the war and must remain alone to avoid hurting anyone else. Ryoko declares she will save Sakuya by becoming her best friend, and they fight until exhausted. That night, Sakuya dreams of her deceased friend, who thanks her and tells her to move forward. She wakes to find Ryoko collapsed from hunger, and they talk for hours like ordinary friends. Though they agree they cannot meet again until the battles are over, they promise to become true friends then.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;waving&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Hinamatsuri Login Bonus===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the season when snow turns to rain, Maria invites Hagumu and Moka to a cake shop with a request. Maria works at an after-school care program planning a Hina-no-kuni-mise for Hinamatsuri, where children show Hina dolls to the outdoor scenery. Because real dolls are too expensive to risk outside, Maria asks Hagumu to make cloth or felt dolls instead. Hagumu accepts despite her doubts, trusting Maria&#039;s faith in her craft skills, while Moka is tasked with making Hinamatsuri sweets for the children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|Hinamatsuri Login Bonus / Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While struggling with the doll design at Livia&#039;s adjustment shop, Hagumu receives advice after Livia mentions Tsurushibina, hanging dolls, as a regional tradition. Inspired by this style, Hagumu decides to create deformed dolls with a similar vibe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a handicrafts shop, a stranger named Konomi overhears Hagumu considering peach blossom accents and explains that Hinamatsuri coincides with peach season, with peaches traditionally warding off evil. Hagumu incorporates the suggestion and purchases her materials.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At home, seeing her mother display the family&#039;s Hina dolls reminds Hagumu of Nemu&#039;s novel about Nagashibina, the custom of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil. Understanding this deeper meaning, she resolves to put her heart into each stitch, praying for the children&#039;s healthy growth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of Hina-no-kuni-mise arrives, and Hagumu finishes the dolls successfully. When introduced to the children at the event, she feels nervous but is warmed by their adoration of her creations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When the children beg to take the dolls home, Maria redirects them to play tag instead. The children ask to borrow Ohina-sama to show her the view while playing, and Hagumu agrees as long as they do not fight. Seeing the children&#039;s joy makes her deeply happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hinamatsu&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival===&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days before the school festival, a threatening letter arrives after an outdoor stage collapses, demanding the festival be canceled. The organizing committee increases patrols, and Tsumugi, a committee member and Magical Girl, volunteers to patrol the middle school section.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~|Trick ☆ Trouble ☆ School Festival ~ Quick Resolution! Leave it to Tsumugi! ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi begins her patrol and encounters a series of strange incidents across the school—incorrect ingredient deliveries, mushrooms overrunning a classroom, damaged decorations, a false fire alarm, disputes between clubs, and broken supplies. Throughout the day, she notices seeds scattered at each location and pockets them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night at home, Tsumugi examines the seeds and discovers they contain magical power with the word trouble written on them, confirming the culprit is a Magical Girl. She returns to school to investigate and encounters Asuka and Yukika. They summon the other Magical Girls from the school and meet at a nearby park, where Tsumugi presents her findings. They split into teams to search the school, and during the briefing, someone is spotted watching them but flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The search teams find more seeds throughout the buildings but no culprit. Sana shares that she bumped into a girl that morning who was not in uniform and could see her, meaning she was a Magical Girl, and Sana sensed she was asking for help. When the culprit is spotted again, the group gives chase. Tsumugi corners her outside, and the girl admits to sending the letter and planting the seeds. She threatens to germinate large seeds, but the others reveal they have learned how to destroy them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The culprit attacks but her magic is weak. Sana pleads with her, saying she sensed she wanted help. The girl denies it, but her Soul Gem is dangerously clouded, and she surrenders. She reveals she is a third-year transfer student whose magic creates opportunities—seeds that will make something she wants to happen. She wanted to participate in the festival but did not know how. When her Soul Gem clouded, her Doppel emerged and created the trouble seeds, which she could not control. She sent the letter as a warning and came to school at night to collect seeds, hoping the Magical Girls would catch her and save the festival. Tsumugi refuses to turn her in and instead orders her to work as a committee member for the remaining preparations and enjoy the festival with them. The girl agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, finishing the final preparations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day of the school festival proceeds without major incident. Tsumugi and the transfer student patrol together, sampling food and enjoying the event. They take a photo together at the repaired arch—Tsumugi, Manaka, and the transfer student in her uniform. The transfer student reflects later that she will cherish the photo forever, grateful for the kindness she did not feel she deserved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tricktr&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka and her friends arrive in Kamihama for the All Gods&#039; Festival and meet Iroha&#039;s group at Mikazuki Manor. The Mikazuki team discusses the fireworks display and its special great ball, and Ui suggests inviting all the magical girls in Kamihama to watch together, though finding a location proves difficult until Mitama messages them that she has prepared a large area on the riverbed for everyone regardless of affiliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~|Let&#039;s go to the All Gods Festival! ~ Our Small Break Time ~ / Fun At The All Gods Festival!&lt;br /&gt;

** Shizuku reluctantly agrees to attend the festival with Ayaka after persistent urging. At the shopping area, they meet up with Reira, Seika, and Mito, and later encounter the Mikazuki group, where Shizuku speaks naturally with Yachiyo, showing Ayaka how much she has grown. At Emiri&#039;s counseling room, they play a coffee tasting game, and Shizuku correctly identifies every origin, including Mandelin, the same coffee she and Ayaka once shared. As the day ends, Shizuku thanks Ayaka for the fun, and Ayaka finally makes her laugh with a pun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the main stage, Sayuki performs, and Felicia, separated from the others, watches with Azalea. After the concert, she and Ayame both declare they want to become idols and insist on entering a Future Idol Challenge later that day. Their respective teams help them prepare—Ayame receives makeup and encouragement while Felicia undergoes cooking training—and they compete in various activities until both exhaustedly admit they now understand how amazing others are.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the riverbed, magical girls gather including Kanagi, Mifuyu, Touka, Nemu, Momoko&#039;s group, and finally the Mitakihara girls. The craftsman&#039;s interview plays on phones, and he accidentally drops the great ball into the river, but Little Kyubey is discovered on it, shivering and wet. Iroha realizes he was listening to the craftsman that morning, worried about them, and protected the ball by catching it. The fireworks proceed safely, everyone watches together, and afterwards they thank Little Kyubey for always being with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;godsfest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** The Mikazuki Villa household watches a cooking competition where a simple shortcake wins over more elaborate desserts. When Yachiyo asks Iroha&#039;s opinion, Iroha expresses her love for shortcake and suggests they bake one immediately, but Yachiyo insists she wait for the right moment, which will come sooner than she thinks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo takes over Iroha&#039;s laundry duty with help from Tsuruno and Sana, who realize she is planning something. When Tsuruno asks if Yachiyo has decided on a gift idea yet, Yachiyo holds up Iroha&#039;s worn favorite socks and the three agree it is the perfect present, unaware that Iroha is watching them from around the corner in confusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers everyone except Iroha to address a problem: they all address Iroha differently, which would ruin a birthday song. After deciding on &amp;quot;Iroha-chan&amp;quot; as a compromise, they practice saying it repeatedly, and Iroha finds them muttering her name to themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha decides to confront everyone about their strange behavior, but as she heads downstairs the lights go out. The lights come back on to reveal everyone singing Happy Birthday around a large strawberry shortcake with a candle. Iroha blows out the flame and receives her gift: new socks just like her old favorites. She had completely forgotten it was her birthday, and as Yachiyo takes a commemorative photo, Iroha thanks everyone and wonders if she should wear her new socks to the upcoming festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;warmest&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Girls in the Hood===&lt;br /&gt;
* An earthquake strikes the city, and on a rooftop, Jun Kazari drops both her yo-yo and her soul gem while practicing tricks. She chases after the soul gem, while the yo-yo falls into the hood of Mitsune Miwa, a hikikomori watching a performance below. Mitsune decides to return it and runs up the stairs, where she collides with Jun. Jun explains she needs her soul gem, and Mitsune returns the yo-yo. A Witch&#039;s barrier appears around them, and Jun transforms to fight while telling Mitsune to close her eyes. Mitsune peeks, collapses after seeing the Witch die, and Jun carries her outside, claiming it was all a dream. Jun insists on treating Mitsune since she saved her yo-yo, and takes her to a candy store called Tomorrow Shop. Jun introduces her to the children there, and Mitsune is amazed by how loved Jun is. Mitsune must leave by 6 PM, and Jun says &amp;quot;See you at Tomorrow Shop.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Girls in the Hood|Girls in the Hood]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** That evening, Mitsune admits she still cannot go to school or make friends. Jun says she also struggles with friends. Mitsune wonders if she should become a magical girl, but Jun yells at her not to. Mitsune leaves upset.

* The next day, Jun tells Mitsune she is moving next week and that magical girls do not have the kind of magic Mitsune dreams of. Mitsune must make her own dreams come true. Jun promises to prove she does not need magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Jun finds that the children and Mitsune went to explore Shinsei Ward without her. She finds them at an abandoned construction site where Mitsune encountered a Witch. Mitsune sent the children away but stayed behind. Jun arrives and uses a homemade bomb to damage the Witch before they escape. A gas leak causes a larger explosion, and they escape on Kanae&#039;s motorcycle. Kanae later destroys the Witch barrier herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hood&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She asks Riko for video ideas, and Riko recalls a scary story Mitama told her. They visit Mitama, who excitedly agrees to be in the video but admits the doll story was made up. She offers a different tale about a fallen warrior from the Kamakura period who still wanders Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;horror&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Mirror That Reflects My True Self===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sae goes about her daily life in Kamihama. She maintains a facade as the daughter of a well-off family while secretly working multiple jobs to support her kind but financially irresponsible parents, living by a philosophy of relying only on herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Mirror That Reflects My True Self|The Mirror That Reflects My True Self]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a routine adjustment with the Coordinator Mitama, Sae learns of a &amp;quot;False Magical Girl&amp;quot; rumor: someone is impersonating her.

After deducing the impostor can transform, Sae confronts and corners Rena, who reveals the truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The entire investigation was an elaborate setup. Emiri and the others orchestrated the &amp;quot;False Magical Girl&amp;quot; to force Sae into relying on them, worried her refusal to ask for help would lead to disaster. Mitama coordinated the scheme. Though initially frustrated, Sae understands their concern and thanks them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Determined to prevent the next prophecy, Sae locates the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth alone. She is overwhelmed and nearly killed. Himika arrives to help, having found Sae&#039;s marked map, and is gravely injured in the rescue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sae receives a message that her family is attending a concert near the Witch. As she despairs, the counseling room girls arrive, led by the impostor who directed them there. They insist on fighting together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group coordinates their abilities. Emiri and Himika distract the Witch, Maria binds it, Akira finds its weakness, Ria conceals their attacks, and Hinano commands the operation. Sae delivers the final blow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;reflect&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Two days before Valentine&#039;s Day, Lavi is shopping when Nayuta finds her to share news about her math test score. They return home where Lavi prepares dinner, and Nayuta discovers Lavi earned perfect scores in every subject, highlighting the gap between them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House|The Peaceful Daily Life of Nayuta&#039;s House]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day while Lavi runs errands, Nayuta confides in Mikage about her fears that Lavi only respects her father and secretly resents serving her. Seeking answers, Nayuta visits Mitama, who suggests that kindness and broad-mindedness are the traits she needs to develop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Nayuta observes how hard Lavi works attending school, studying, handling housework, and fighting witches.

** Returning home late, Nayuta discovers a threatening letter addressed to Lavi and deduces it must be connected to the serious trouble from Lavi&#039;s hometown. She rushes to the market street with Mikage to protect her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;peaceful&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the market street, Nayuta confronts the man speaking with Lavi, declaring herself as Satomi Tasuke&#039;s daughter to intimidate him.

** That night, Nayuta presents the cooked fish and apologizes.

===The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Magia Record Event - The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf|The Legendary Story of the Paper Mulberry Leaf]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo bumps into Tsuruno on a day when school is out. Yachiyo has a job performing in a recorded drama with Sayuki that will be screened on Tanabata. Tsuruno recalls Yachiyo&#039;s poor performance in Karin&#039;s Halloween play and decides to join her to help. Yachiyo welcomes her.&lt;br /&gt;
** On set, Ria and Mayu are assisting with makeup and costumes. Yachiyo recognizes Ria, calls her by name, and praises her work, causing Ria to internally fangirl. Yachiyo grows anxious seeing so many Magical Girls gathered, recalling how a previous production with magical girls turned into a disaster. Tsuruno reassures her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno wins over the production team with her exuberance. The play&#039;s co-star drops out, and the director asks Tsuruno to take the role. She eagerly accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a fairy tale about an ancient Mizuna legend. Two girls, Tsuyu and Chizuru, befriend each other despite their families&#039; rivalry and join forces to punish a selfish lord. Yachiyo plays Tsuyu, the ice queen with a heart of gold. Tsuruno plays Chizuru, the cheerful and impetuous girl. Sayuki plays the Magpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** During the script reading, everyone realizes Yachiyo&#039;s acting skills are still terrible. Yachiyo confides that she has turned down many acting jobs but accepted this one because the director begged her, even if she flops. She vows to see it through to expand her repertoire. Tsuruno promises to stay by her side.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ria is in shock seeing her idol perform poorly. The filmmakers work around it by taking away Yachiyo&#039;s lines. Ria confronts Yachiyo and Tsuruno after the reading, declaring she will give Yachiyo an acting bootcamp. She does not want Yachiyo&#039;s performance to drag down her makeup work or her reputation as Yachiyo&#039;s rival. Yachiyo accepts.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at home, Yachiyo reviews the script. Tsuruno explains the Mizuna fairy tale to the rest of Mikazuki. Felicia becomes interested when she learns there are fight scenes. Tsuruno explains that the day Tsuyu and Chizuru teamed up was Tanabata, and people in Kamihama entrust their wishes to them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next week or so, Yachiyo is drilled on acting with a professional coach and Ria&#039;s guidance. She eventually executes her lines perfectly and Ria is relieved.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls take a lunch break, courtesy of Manaka and Tsumugi. Yachiyo asks Ria about a scene where Tsuyu and Chizuru hold hands after their fight. Yachiyo cannot understand Tsuyu&#039;s change of heart. Ria refuses to answer, saying that would defeat the purpose of acting.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, after a good rehearsal, Yachiyo continues asking others for advice, gradually improving but not understanding the role herself. Gossip spreads about Yachiyo working closely with others. Ria bristles at the talk.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the end of the day, Yachiyo returns to Ria to discuss the scene again. Ria flashes back to idolizing Yachiyo as a child. Seeing Yachiyo lost, nervous, and unsure is straining Ria&#039;s understanding of her. Ria finally screams that Yachiyo is not the real Yachiyo and runs off. Mayu realizes Ria&#039;s idealized image of Yachiyo has been shattered. Mayu and Sayuki go after her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno tells Yachiyo that understanding why Ria freaked out is a question she must answer for herself, just like she needs to understand Tsuyu. Yachiyo realizes she has deferred too much of her responsibilities onto others.&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Yachiyo texts Ria, but Ria leaves her on read. Yachiyo researches Tsuyu but finds little information. She cannot crack Tsuyu&#039;s motivations. Mayu drops by with refreshments. Mayu suggests visiting a special exhibition at the art museum featuring historical artifacts about Tsuyu and Chizuru.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the museum, Mayu shows Yachiyo artifacts, including a quote from Tsuyu about wanting to be someone worthy of admiration. Yachiyo touches a seashell and realizes it contains magic, suggesting Tsuyu was a Magical Girl. Yachiyo connects the dots: Tsuyu&#039;s struggles are the same as her own.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the next day, Yachiyo goes to where Tsuruno and Sayuki are filming. She wants to learn how Tsuruno interprets Chizuru. Tsuruno sees Chizuru as someone who aspires to be equals with Tsuyu but holds deep admiration for her. Yachiyo realizes she needs to be worthy of Chizuru&#039;s devotion. Tsuruno says Yachiyo and Tsuyu are alike, especially in how dense they can be.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo flashes back to her interactions with Ria and realizes how her humility made her look incompetent. She now knows both she and Tsuyu want to live with dignity for those who support them. Yachiyo&#039;s magic activates, and she inherits Tsuyu&#039;s hope. Her outfit transforms into Tsuyu&#039;s. Yachiyo texts Ria, imploring her to come see the final scene.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mayu&#039;s phone is blowing up with texts from Ria, who is passively-aggressively demanding updates. Ria announces she is going to the shoot tomorrow, claiming it is only for makeup duty.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, everyone, including Ria, is on set. Yachiyo and Tsuruno&#039;s sword fight performance stuns the onlookers. Ria is choked up. When Sayuki catches her crying, Ria insists she is not a fan but a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time after Tanabata, the drama becomes available online. The other girls of Mikazuki Villa love it and even want to rewatch it. Yachiyo is inundated with offers for commercials and acting roles. In Mizuna, Ria tirelessly researches all of Yachiyo&#039;s latest appearances, insisting it is for research. Yachiyo is restored to her proper place as Ria&#039;s hero and arch-rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sea is a Link Through Time /  The Call of the Open Sea===&lt;br /&gt;
Need to re-check this. There&#039;s two different versions at hand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Saturday, Momoko and Mitama arrive at a resort near a village with a legend about a Diviner who eloped with a sailor and sank with stolen treasure. Mitama reveals they are actually there to hunt for this treasure based on a fairy tale Mikage heard. While exploring the private beach, they encounter Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao from the Tokime Clan, who stumbled there by accident. The group decides to spend the day together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea|The Call of the Open Sea]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, they attend a festival in a nearby village that turns out to be a branch of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka learns the villagers consider Diviners a superstition. Mitama asks the village elder about the treasure legend, and he tells a different version where the sailor tricked the Diviner and both were punished by the gods. He warns them against searching due to dangerous currents, but Mitama arranges a boat anyway. At the festival, they meet a village girl named Miyo, who is upset because the village forbids romance with outsiders until coming of age. She is in love with an outsider named Yuta and wants the custom changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko decides to help Miyo, but the elder overhears and orders them to leave. Miyo&#039;s father agrees to take them by boat to the area near the legend. During their investigation, Yuta explains his theory that a foreign trade ship sank in the same area as the Diviner&#039;s boat, which may explain the treasure element. The group splits up to investigate a hill shrine and a stone monument. At the shrine, they dig up a seashell bangle that emits a voice saying, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll be waiting for you...&amp;quot; At the monument, Momoko touches it and experiences the Diviner&#039;s memories: her wish for courage to confess, her elopement, the shipwreck, her survival, and her decades of waiting while casting objects into the sea. The memories show the Diviner eventually became a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko becomes trapped in the memories, her psyche overwhelmed, and her Soul Gem begins darkening. That night, she wanders toward the beach under the Diviner&#039;s influence. Using the bangle, Mitama experiences more memories and realizes the Diviner&#039;s final wish was that no one else would suffer her tragedy. They find Momoko trying to walk into the sea. Mitama realizes they must take her to where the ship sank.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They borrow a boat and head into dangerous waters. A Witch appears and conjures a storm. While the Tokime girls engage it, Momoko jumps overboard and Mitama jumps in after her. Underwater, Mitama uses her Coordinator powers to adjust them both, allowing them to breathe and swim freely. They find the sunken trade ship and discover a jade bracelet, the last object the Diviner cast into the sea. Momoko experiences a final vision of the Diviner and sailor reuniting and returns to her senses just as they escape the collapsing ship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Monday, Momoko meets with Miyo and explains everything: the Diviner survived, waited in vain, and her final wish was that no one else suffer the same tragedy. Shizuka confirms the elder has agreed to reconsider the custom. Moved by their efforts, Miyo decides to confess to Yuta. Though nervous and clumsy, she finally tells him she likes him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on the beach, Momoko thanks Mitama for saving her. She reflects that she empathized with the Diviner because their wishes were the same: both became Magical Girls to gain the courage to confess their feelings. Momoko admits she has struggled with love herself and wanted things to work out for someone. Mitama teases her, asking her to finish anything she leaves undone, and Momoko promises she will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;opensea&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ocean, timeless origin of life, feels all events upon its waters and may know how three separate occurrences are connected: Yachiyo being shown a seashell that belonged to Tsuyu Mizuna, Momoko wanting to learn a girl&#039;s true memories despite Mitama&#039;s warning, and Sayaka hearing a gentle voice from the sea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Call of the Open Sea#The Sea is a Link Through Time Login Special|The Sea is a Link Through Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* These events stem from a distant past the ocean would remember. It began with a Diviner tormented by love for a sailor she could not have due to her position. She placed her feelings into a seashell and cast it into the sea, praying it would reach him and help her overcome her fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The shell drifted through countless days and nights, carrying her words about transcending birth and duty, until it eventually connected two girls from Kamihama&#039;s past: Tsuyu Mizuna and another named Chizuru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuyu came to an area searching for demons responsible for the bad harvest and found Chizuru, who revealed herself as the Shamaness of the East who had crossed the barrier. Though Tsuyu proposed they join forces as fellow Diviners, Chizuru harbored the same contempt for those from the castle side as her people did.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Chizuru had found the enchanted seashell and heard the voice within it. The voice spoke of love between people from different places that could never be accepted, yet expressed no resentment and wished to change the village so everyone could live freely, ending with a plea to be remembered. Though the story had nothing to do with them, neither girl could treat it as someone else&#039;s affair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through one girl&#039;s tragic love, Tsuyu and Chizuru lowered their weapons and shared a small smile. This event in Kamihama occurred long before the East and West would unite, around what is now August but was then the seventh month, coincidentally close to Tanabata.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;shell&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Promised Blood&#039;s base, Yuna notices her teammates have been acting strangely, as Sakuya reads romance columns, Juri studies constantly, and Urara stares at Hikaru without speaking. After the meeting, Yuna confides in Hikaru that she feels guilty for not noticing everyone&#039;s exhaustion and decides to solve each person&#039;s problems personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yuna and Hikaru meet Urara at a café to discuss Sakuya. Urara reveals that Sakuya has been consuming romance media and even writes to advice columns. When confronted, Sakuya admits she&#039;s been researching romance not for herself but to help a kouhai who wants to confess to a childhood friend. Though relieved it&#039;s not her own love life, Yuna insists on helping anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s place, the group brainstorms confession advice. The conversation shifts when Ao receives a text from her parents—she&#039;s been lying to them about her late nights as a magical girl, claiming she&#039;s in an e-sports tournament. To sell the lie, she needs a full team. Ranka recruits Rena Minami and Kaede Akino through voice chat, while Yuna, Hikaru, and Juri fill out the roster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the online tournament, chaos ensues as Juri attacks teammates, Hikaru sets the kitchen on fire, and Yuna fails at selling merchandise. Despite this, Team Buddy Sisters wins a special prize for most interesting play. Ao&#039;s parents are convinced by the photo, and the other teams—including Mitama and Momoko&#039;s group—also celebrate their placements.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the next meeting, Juri&#039;s distraction becomes the focus. She&#039;s desperately studying for an exam, facing expulsion if she fails. With only one day left, Yuna and Sakuya drill her on core subjects while Ao and Ranka serve as stress-relief punching bags. After a grueling session, Juri panics upon discovering seven book reports due that morning. The team scrambles to write synopses, Yuna stays awake to compile them, and Juri frantically copies everything before dawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri barely makes it to school on time and passes her exam. Her teacher sees through the copied reports but lets it slide, impressed by Juri&#039;s dedication and the friends who helped her. She returns the reports for Juri to rewrite properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Yuna&#039;s, the team turns to Urara, who confesses she&#039;s been holding onto Hikaru&#039;s handbook filled with photos of Yuna, embarrassed to return it. Everyone accepts this as normal Hikaru behavior, leaving Yuna as the last unsolved problem. Yuna admits she&#039;s been neglecting student council duties and fears the other students&#039; suspicions. Hikaru encourages her to ask for help rather than avoid the issue.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the student council meeting, Yuna honestly requests more time to handle personal matters, promising to dedicate herself fully afterward. The council members, who respect her leadership, agree to support her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hikaru arrives with a new ice cream flavor for Yuna, explaining that her problem was simply choosing which flavor to buy—her head is always full of thoughts about Yuna. One by one, the others arrive, each bearing ice cream as thanks or prizes. Surrounded by a mountain of desserts, Yuna laughs at how her attempt to help everyone led to them all helping each other instead. Juri declares their new battle is against the melting ice cream, and Yuna suggests inviting the other magical girls to join the feast.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;plz&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!|Please, Yuna-san ~ Leave All Your Worries To Your Eldest Daughter!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls from Mikazuki Villa and Mitakihara find themselves inside a dreamlike world designed for a sleepover, complete with all the furnishings one could want for a pajama party. They begin their moon viewing celebration with a toast, and throughout the night, pairs of girls take turns presenting their planned activities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Mami go first, grilling a massive pile of meat while Mami also provides tea and a salad she prepared. Kyoko and Sana present a mountain of traditional dango they made together, with Sana painting some to look like rabbits. Homura and Yachiyo organize a game based on an old moon viewing custom where players must steal prizes from an oni without getting caught. Madoka and Tsuruno have everyone close their eyes and imagine their own versions of the moon, then compare them to the real thing. Finally, Iroha and Sayaka produce a dating sim game from a bargain bin, which unexpectedly turns into a duel-based adventure when Felicia and Kyoko take control. After everyone tires themselves out, they all settle down to sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, outside Mikazuki Villa, Akari and Hotaru arrive looking for Ui. They need to tell her about Iroha and the others, who were accidentally swallowed by Hotaru&#039;s pillow during a witch fight. The pillow contains an entire world inside it designed for pajama parties, and everyone has been having their party in there without realizing it. Hotaru and Akari struggle to get the pillow to open again so they can rescue everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, everyone inside the pillow wakes up feeling refreshed after falling asleep, and the pillow spits them all out onto the ground outside Mikazuki Villa. Ui and Nagisa help Hotaru and Akari carry them inside. When everyone wakes up for real, they realize they all shared the same strange dream about a pajama party. Ui and Nagisa go to tell Hotaru and Akari the good news that everyone is safe. Akari lectures Hotaru about the danger, since Hotaru casually mentions that the pillow normally digests whatever it eats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;slumb&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party|Moon-viewing Slumbering Pajama Party]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl===&lt;br /&gt;
* One evening, Kush finds herself suddenly sleepy in the city. A man hands her a mirror, telling her to take it as congratulations for winning. At St. Lilianna, Yukika waits outside while other girls chat about a vampire rumor. She spots Kush entering and checks on her when she falls. Kush says she needs to hurry to her supplementary class. A student council member arrives late to meet Yukika about an exchange meeting and asks her to follow. A figure in black feathers with pink hair watches from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the meeting, everyone in the school seems to have disappeared. Elsewhere, Kush dozes in her classroom. A flash wakes her, and she realizes no one else is there. She notices the mirror from earlier and understands that was not a dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Rumor Spreader appears with a new rumor about the Dreaming Mirror. It offers a chance to dream up a what-if and redo the past. There is no price to enter, but if you fail the test of heart, you never wake up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush and Yukika meet in the halls. They realize they are inside a dream and agree to investigate. Kush explains she attends evening classes because she cannot wake during the day. She literally cannot wake up when the sun rises. They hear singing from a classroom and find the black-feathered figure, who introduces herself as Ikumi. They learn they are all Magical Girls. Kush shows them the Dreaming Mirror, and only Kush does not appear in it. Yukika deduces Kush is the star of this dream. Kush admits she wants to redo meeting someone she never got to say goodbye to: an upperclassman named Aneka who lived next door. Yukika and Ikumi agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush realizes the situation matches a book called The Sea of Otranto. In the story, the hero searches dreams for a lost soulmate and meets two friends who join the journey. Yukika transforms, revealing her weapon is a sword. Ikumi&#039;s singing matches the joyful ghost from the story. Kush transforms, identifying as the last inquisitor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They determine their next destination is an ancient library. Kush explains the hero collects memories of a princess beneath a castle to wake her and escape the dream world. They enter the school library, and Kush finds two books from the series. When she opens one, a light flashes, and they experience a memory: Aneka saved Kush from a Witch attack. The light absorbs into Kush&#039;s scrunchie. They realize they need to collect more memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi reveals she is an idol who works at a maid cafe. She was at St. Lilianna to deliver something for Touka, and shortly after, she became trapped in the dream world. They enter the audio-visual room, and another memory plays: Aneka gives Kush the black scrunchie as a birthday present after she becomes a Magical Girl. Kush explains her wish caused her sleep cycle to invert. Ikumi notices Kush has fangs. Yukika realizes Kush matches the vampire rumor: nocturnal, fangs, and no reflection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to the fountain. Kush looks into the water and enters another memory. After defeating a strong Witch, Kyubey tells her the Witch that killed Aneka was Aneka herself. He reveals the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches. Kush screams, and the scrunchie absorbs the light. Ikumi and Yukika realize Kush wants to redo the past because she never got to say goodbye after killing the Witch that was once Aneka. Kush reveals she only has two grief seeds left. Ikumi is shocked. Yukika suggests losing her grief seeds was the price to enter the dream. Kush does not care. She wants to see Aneka again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush explains she collects grief seeds outside Kamihama. She does not believe Witches were once Magical Girls. Yukika and Ikumi realize Kush knows the truth deep down but cannot accept it without her heart breaking. Ikumi explains the Wings of Magius and how Doppels prevent Witches. Kush is content staying outside Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The scrunchie glows bright white. They use the mirror and flash to a dark world next to a grave. Aneka appears but does not remember Kush. Kush asks Aneka to look into the mirror, and Aneka enters her own memories. She sees her sister in the hospital with an incurable disease. Her sister thanks Aneka and passes away. Their parents tell Aneka she can live happily for her sister now. Kyubey watches. Kush had no idea Aneka lost a sister. Yukika notices Aneka&#039;s sister resembled a younger Kush.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aneka has recovered half her memories. Kush asks why Aneka became a Magical Girl. Aneka cannot remember anything after meeting Kyubey. Kush asks Aneka to join hands and wrap the scrunchie around them. A light flashes, and a memory plays: Aneka tells Kyubey her wish. She wants a friend to fill the emptiness so she can live happily again. Kyubey asks if the wish is worth her soul, and Aneka says yes. She transforms and receives a message that new neighbors with a child are moving in next door from Japan. Kyubey says the contract means she will meet them. Aneka is excited, believing whoever moves in must be her soulmate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** More memories follow as they bond over fairy tales. Aneka worries because Kush looks and sounds like her sister. Kush asks to call her Onee-san, and Aneka refuses to keep them separate in her mind. Later, Aneka learns the truth about Soul Gems and regrets ever wanting Kush to contract. The memories end. Aneka apologizes and disappears. Kush wonders if she failed the test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ikumi and Yukika insist Kush is not a substitute. Aneka always viewed Kush as her own person. They decide the castle they reached was not the real castle. Shadow versions of Kush appear, saying Kush failed the trial. They prepare to fight. Kush refuses to give up. She looks into the mirror, and a light flashes at the end of a long hall. Yukika and Ikumi hold off the shadows while Kush runs for the light.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kush jumps into the light and finds Aneka. Aneka barely remembers her. Kush explains this is a what-if dream where she wanted to redo the past. She wanted to say goodbye to the Aneka she knew. But she understands now she cannot give these memories to this Aneka. They belong to the Aneka who is gone. Aneka understands. Her sister is gone too. Kush thanks her and asks Aneka to escape with her. Aneka agrees. They hold hands, smile, and close their eyes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kush wakes in her classroom. Her scrunchie flashes with light then returns to normal. She understands it connected her heart to Aneka&#039;s, and it all really happened. She still feels the warmth of Aneka&#039;s hand, but that Aneka does not know the future awaiting her. She notices a note on her desk from Yukika and Ikumi. Her teacher arrives, and Kush says nothing about being asleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The same evening at Fendthope, Touka asks Nemu about the Dreaming Mirror rumor. Nemu explains rumors are not all-powerful, and there is always a price. The rumor grants another chance to fulfill a heart&#039;s desire, and that is all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next evening, Kush walks through the city. A girl calls to her parents. Kush looks over. Aneka walks past her. Kush realizes it was not a dream. That Aneka is the one who never met her, who never became a Magical Girl. The what-if version. They walked past each other as strangers. Time has been frozen for Kush for so long, but now it has started to move again. Kush says thank you out loud, smiles, and says goodbye.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;onlydream&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura arrive at an old beach house for vacation, where an elderly owner greets them and teases Sayaka about Kyosuke. Inside, they find an old toy robot that has been left there for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～|Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water&#039;s Edge～ / Nacht Märchen ～There You Were, by the Water&#039;s Edge～]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, they meet their friends from Kamihama, and Kako tells them about a local legend: if you hear the voice of the waves with someone, you will stay friends forever. They discuss leaving a message in a bottle at the lighthouse but learn people now bury time capsules instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The first night, Homura wakes to find Sayaka outside. The toy robot is moving on its own. They chase it toward the ocean until a kitten&#039;s meow stops it, then it runs back to the villa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the morning, Madoka is upset they did not wake her. After breakfast, they trick the robot into moving again and chase it, running into the IMF team. They realize the robot understands them. After arguing over names, Sayaka calls it Ponta, which the robot likes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They follow Ponta everywhere. It stands on a rock looking toward the ocean. Madoka&#039;s team decides to help it search again tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka finds the kitten inside. The janitor plans to adopt it. Felicia messages that she saw a sleepy-looking ghost near the station that resembled Kako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third morning, Mami and Nagisa arrive. Kyoko got the date wrong. Mami suggests Sayaka stay while Madoka and Homura handle patrols.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ponta searches the beach. Children notice it, so Sayaka distracts them. The kitten scares Ponta, and Sayaka follows it to the lighthouse, realizing Ponta wants to go home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Sayaka wakes to Ponta leaving again. At the lighthouse, she senses strange magic nearby. Kush Irina appears, erasing a barrier. Sayaka explains about Ponta and the legend, and Kush mentions an adjuster named Livia who could help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Puella Care, Livia examines Ponta. She suspects a magical girl enchanted it decades ago to find the voice of the waves and deliver something. The magic will fade in a few days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Livia found memories inside Ponta: two girls named Ecchan and Misa searching for the voice of the waves, calling it the Legend of BFFs. Misa was a magical girl who had someone cast a spell on the doll.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako calls with information: a centuries-old legend connects the mulberry leaf and voice of the waves to two girls who met by the Call of the Sea and defeated an evil lord together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The villa owner overhears and mentions going with a friend to find the voice when she was young. She sings a song Livia mentioned. Sayaka asks if she went by Ecchan. The owner confirms her name is Etsuko but cannot remember her friend at all, not her face or name. The magical girl Misa has been erased from her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nightfairy&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Side Stories==&lt;br /&gt;
===Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana notices that Iroha has a keychain from an old puppet show called Mr. Purrs-a-Lot and excitedly begins talking about it. She apologizes for rambling, but Iroha reassures her. Sana&#039;s mind drifts back to her past, worrying that her history of loss will repeat itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sana Futaba#Side Story|Sana&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana grew up as the unwanted stepchild in her family. Her mother always regretted marrying her late biological father, and her stepfather, a university professor, only cared about her poor grades. Her two step-brothers were academically and athletically gifted, and both treated her with contempt. Eventually, her entire family declared she tarnished their name and forbade her from interacting with them. From that day on, Sana lived in silence, speaking to no one at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After being cast out by her family, Sana spent her days wandering outside until she befriended a stray cat she named Miss Purrs. She would feed the cat in an alley and talk to her about the animal city from her favorite show, finding comfort in the cat&#039;s presence. One day, Miss Purrs vanished after the shop owner called animal control to remove the strays. Sana searched everywhere but never found her cat again, though she once mistook Kyubey for Miss Purrs from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After losing Miss Purrs, Sana stayed at school instead of going home. She made a friend who liked her keychain, but when bullies stole it, her friend did nothing to help. Sana stopped going to school entirely. When Kyubey appeared and offered her a wish, she did not wish for family or friends. Instead, she wished to become invisible, wanting nothing more than to disappear from a world where she felt completely worthless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Iroha notices Sana spacing out and asks what is wrong. Sana realizes that before meeting Iroha, she had lived completely alone, invisible to everyone. As Iroha continues talking about Mr. Purrs-a-Lot, Sana silently thanks her for finding her and feels glad she was not alone forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Felicia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia fights a witch alongside Nanaka&#039;s team, but her reckless attacks endanger them and Nanaka refuses to work with her again. Kako worries about her afterward. Kyubey finds a fuming Felicia, who decides to hire herself out as a mercenary to other magical girls for money or Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Felicia Mitsuki#Side Story|Felicia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia encounters Asuka and Sasara and defeats a witch for them, but they let her keep the Grief Seed and leave without paying, leaving her frustrated. Kako appears, concerned, but Felicia rejects her harshly and immediately regrets it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Felicia asks Asuka and Sasara to hire her again, and they agree. Meanwhile, Kako asks Kyubey about Felicia&#039;s past. Kyubey reveals Felicia accidentally caused a fire that killed her parents. Her wish to undo it altered her memories, making her believe a witch killed them instead. Kako is horrified but vows to keep the secret and befriend Felicia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia helps defeat the witch and collapses from exhaustion, silently vowing to destroy every witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Feliciss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane apologize to Mifuyu for letting Yachiyo destroy the Rumor they guarded. Mifuyu accepts, though privately she doubts involving so many girls in the Wings of Magius. She reflects on the letters she and Yachiyo exchange yearly, remembering Yachiyo&#039;s confession of love and her own weakening powers, which led her to seek salvation through Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka Satomi interrupts, demanding Mifuyu solve a math problem and reminding her of the debts she owes. Mifuyu promises to try harder and asks about Magius&#039;s next move. Touka explains they will expand, create more Rumors, and capture witches to accelerate the Eve&#039;s growth, dismissing Mifuyu&#039;s concerns about rushing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Mifuyu skips a meeting by claiming illness, but Alina sees through it. Mifuyu considers confessing everything to Yachiyo but receives a call about trouble. At the meeting, Touka and Nemu argue with Alina over strategy until Mifuyu mediates, suggesting they continue creating Rumors cautiously. Afterward, Tsukuyo offers Mifuyu a Grief Seed, noticing her clouded Soul Gem. Mifuyu realizes her doubt about returning to Yachiyo caused the taint but concludes she cannot abandon the Feathers who trust her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Yachiyo destroys another Rumor. Touka and Nemu grow frustrated, learning Yachiyo travels with a girl named Iroha Tamaki. Mifuyu warns that conspicuous Rumors invite investigation, but Nemu dismisses the concern. When Nemu suggests recruiting Yachiyo, Mifuyu asks for a day to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Amanes visit Mifuyu and ask about her wish. Mifuyu explains she wished to be free in her dreams, unable to comprehend true freedom after a lifetime of obedience. The Amanes console her, assuring she will be normal after magical girls are released. Mifuyu recalls another letter where Yachiyo vowed to save people and asked Mifuyu to stop her if she ever strayed from human logic. Mifuyu realizes Yachiyo has not changed and will never join Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu asks Nemu to create a Rumor that will occupy Yachiyo until Magius completes its goal. Nemu hesitates, preferring to write her own story, but agrees. Mifuyu tells Alina she will stop Yachiyo if necessary, and Alina approves. Mifuyu consults the Amanes, who suggest Mizuna Shrine as the location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Mifuyu investigates Mizuna Shrine and decides it is perfect, silently apologizing to Yachiyo. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s final letter, written after learning the truth about witches, blaming herself and resolving to avoid others while wishing to stay with Mifuyu until the end. Mifuyu decides Yachiyo will not forgive her, so she will keep her asleep in the Rumor until everything ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu arrives, opens her book, and creates the Rumor of the Kuchiyose Shrine, where one can meet someone from their past but may never return. Nemu faints. Mifuyu silently wishes Yachiyo happy dreams with her fake counterpart, believing they will both be saved when it is over. The story ends as Yachiyo confronts the fake Mifuyu while the real Mifuyu watches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifuyuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Touka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magius discuss their influence over Kamihama, noting that Kyubey can no longer enter due to a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, Nemu, Alina, and Mifuyu acknowledge that the recent addition of the Amane Sisters brings their total to only six members, far from sufficient to gather enough energy for their project. Alina suggests Mifuyu handle recruitment due to her veteran status, but Mifuyu refuses, explaining that recruiting inside Kamihama risks Yachiyo finding her while recruiting outside would fail because she is a stranger there. She sneezes and explains she has been sick since moving out of her parents&#039; home, something she accomplished with Touka&#039;s financial grants. When Touka asks why she does not heal herself with magic, Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as it is one of the few human things left about herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka Satomi#Side Story|Touka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the three Magius meet without Mifuyu and discuss the recruitment problem further. Nemu raises the moral implications of their methods, while Touka notes that recruiting girls unaware of the Witch system would make them look like a cult. Alina steers the conversation toward enhancing the force field and Nemu&#039;s rumor creation. She receives a message from Mifuyu, whose cold has worsened. Nemu suggests using radio waves to communicate their message efficiently through email and phone messages, and Touka praises the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Touka visits Mifuyu&#039;s living quarters and finds her asleep with convenience store dinner nearby. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort, Touka brings a cold towel for her forehead, surprised at her own caring impulse. Using Mifuyu as a test subject, Touka messages Nemu to launch the experiment. Mifuyu soon hears singing, confirming the transmission works. The song is from Touka&#039;s hospitalization, sung by a nurse to help her recover. Mifuyu deduces the experiment is meant for recruiting Magical Girls using radio waves, and Touka explains that she used a wavelength only Magical Girls can hear. Mifuyu praises her and finds renewed vigor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Magius headquarters with Mifuyu now present, the others endure an outburst from Touka. This scene occurs after the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated. Mifuyu notes that Yachiyo has a new ally and they should be more cautious. Nemu suggests creating more rumors, but Alina suggests using Witches instead due to the similarity between Doppels and Witches. Mifuyu objects, saying that method is too harsh. Touka proposes creating rumors frightening enough to traumatize victims, but Mifuyu scolds her, insisting they will not sacrifice people for their goals. Nemu sympathizes with Touka, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors. Mifuyu reiterates her desire to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and Touka slaps her before leaving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu&#039;s objections stall their plans. Nemu admits Mifuyu has a point, noting that losing sight of their moral standing would cause the Feathers to defect. Mifuyu&#039;s popularity gives her tremendous weight in the organization. Frustrated, Touka decides to cool down elsewhere, recognizing she is not thinking clearly. In her room, she ponders how to help Mifuyu understand, comparing the Magical Girl system to survival of the fittest and stating she is ready to do anything to survive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is assigned group work. When a younger classmate asks her to explain division, Touka berates her for failing to grasp something so simple. The teacher explains the girl just started learning division, and Touka eventually agrees to teach her. As the lesson continues, the girl comments that a remainder looks lonely, separated from the other numbers. Touka tells her numbers do not have feelings, but the girl insists all numbers should get along. Touka snaps, reiterating that numbers are concepts and the only solution is to write the remainder as intended. The girl begins crying, and Touka realizes she made a mistake. The teacher scolds her, and Touka states that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement makes something click in her mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets Nemu and announces her plans to use radio frequencies to draw more Witches into Kamihama and deploy more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution. Nemu states Mifuyu will not be pleased, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide. Mifuyu arrives, and Touka explains her point of view, claiming this approach is necessary now to create a better future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the past, during Touka&#039;s hospitalization with Nemu and Ui, Touka plays a video game against Iroha while the group discusses their school assignment. They must compile information on a hobby and present it, and Iroha guesses Touka will present on space. Touka reveals she decided against presenting on space and chose quantum computers instead, unwilling to share knowledge she worked hard to gather. Iroha suggests people would still enjoy hearing Touka talk about space, and Touka tearfully refuses, explaining that she understands she is bedridden for life. All Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center, and she learns about the outside through the internet. She recalls asking her father to let her live under the same roof as her parents, but he could not grant this because she needs continued hospital treatment. Touka decides she will never give anything back to anyone, as anything she ever gave out, she received nothing in return. She muses that outer space is the only world that ever gave her anything, admiring its limitless freedom. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back that immobilizes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she would later use to transmit radio waves. The nurse who sang this song is revealed to be Iroha. Iroha offers her an apple pie she baked herself, feeling bad for offending Touka the previous day. Touka taste-tests it and finds it delicious. Iroha explains she could teach Touka little things to make her happy, just as she requests that Touka share her knowledge about space to make them happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Touka arrives late to class with classroom materials for everyone. She announces that if they want to learn about space, she should start with constellations first. She tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the Beta Pegasi, but she does not explain further, telling Ui to look it up herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Toukass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Karin&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina criticizes Karin&#039;s manga and takes her strawberry milk as punishment, asking if Karin will make a comic for the cultural festival and telling her to work harder. Karin resolves to impress her someday. After school, Karin discusses the new issue of &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Girl Magical Kirin&amp;quot; with her grandmother. That night, as &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Karin,&amp;quot; she targets Yachiyo Nanami, ambushing her with a &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; greeting after Yachiyo defeats a Witch, stealing her Grief Seeds before departing. Elsewhere, she finds Kaede Akino whose Soul Gem is darkening, and offers her a Grief Seed in exchange for a pebble as &amp;quot;candy.&amp;quot; Later, Yachiyo confronts Karin and reveals she let the theft happen to observe her, telling Karin to stop stealing and fight Witches herself. Karin wonders if she is the villain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin Misono#Side Story|Karin&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin narrates &amp;quot;Phantom Thief Magical Kirin&amp;quot; and realizes she is not bringing joy to anyone like her heroine does. During art lesson, Alina says Karin&#039;s manga is decent, noting the protagonist is three-dimensional, and Karin reflects she is drawing her own story. At home, Karin withdraws from discussing manga with her grandmother, declining when her grandmother offers to listen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin tries to fight a Witch alone, fails, and runs away, considering stealing but finding she cannot. Kaede appears and returns the Grief Seed, and they introduce themselves. Momoko and Rena arrive and Momoko offers to team up, which Karin reluctantly accepts. The group successfully hunts a Witch together, and Karin feels safer, learning that Magical Girls can help one another. She flashes back to her first fight when she discovered her magic was the &amp;quot;power to steal&amp;quot; and, afraid, rationalized stealing by pretending to be Magical Kirin. In the present, she bursts into tears, realizing she was deceiving herself, and decides to fight with her friends as a normal Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At art lesson, Alina yells at Karin, calling her manga garbage and demanding she rip it up, sensing Karin is lying about being satisfied. Alina reveals she knows Karin is writing about herself and wants her to be true to herself. She steals Karin&#039;s milk again and leaves angrily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin works with Momoko&#039;s team but remains distant, and Momoko notices she is not putting her heart into it. Karin reflects on Alina&#039;s words and her desire to be like Magical Kirin, who fights without relying on anyone. She flashes back to her wish: her grandmother, a compulsive thief, came to live with her family. On Halloween, her grandmother wondered if someone could exorcise her illness, and Karin offered to do it herself, creating her &amp;quot;Trick or Treat&amp;quot; catchphrase. That night, she made a contract with Kyubey, wishing to cure her grandmother and promising to become a Magical Girl like Magical Kirin. Karin realizes her feelings have not changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin finds the Witch she previously failed to defeat and attacks it alone, but is knocked unconscious and rescued by Kaede, who followed her. Kaede urges retreat, but Karin insists on fighting. Overpowered, she throws rocks to distract the Witch from Kaede and notices the Witch flinching, realizing she imbued the rocks with magic. She asks Kaede to gather anything she can find, wraps the items, imbues them with magic, flies above the Witch, and opens the bag. The hail of &amp;quot;candies&amp;quot; destroys the Witch. Karin rejoices, declaring she is now the Magical Girl she wants to be. She thanks Kaede and says she must leave Momoko&#039;s group to fight on her own, telling Kaede she has graduated from incompetence first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the cultural festival approaching, Karin shows Alina her manuscript. Alina leaves and returns with strawberry milk, saying Karin has earned it by no longer lying to herself. When Karin asks about the art, Alina ignores her and returns to work, then says the art was garbage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;karinss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nemu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Eve&#039;s barrier, Nemu and Touka discuss the Magius&#039; growth while Alina worries Eve&#039;s barrier may not contain them much longer. The accumulating impurities are making everyone sick, prompting Mifuyu to suggest they leave for now. Outside, Mifuyu warns about managing their growing numbers, and Touka mentions struggles with multiple scattered bases. Nemu proposes creating one large base using a Rumor, announcing she will build a castle by writing its story. Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu explains that one story will not be enough - she must keep writing sequels to maintain its essence. The others eagerly suggest additions: a studio from Alina, a laboratory from Touka, a bathhouse from Mifuyu. When Touka asks what kind of rooms Nemu wants, she realizes she has no idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nemu Hiiragi#Side Story|Nemu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu returns home, where her mother and brother arrive shortly after. Her mother apologizes for being late, and Nemu helps prepare dinner. During the meal, her brother discusses his school festival, reluctantly nodding when Nemu offers to attend. He asks for homework help, but when their mother suggests Nemu help, he refuses. Their mother insists she is exhausted, so Nemu washes the dishes instead. Back in her bedroom, Nemu thinks about the Magius and how dealing with them is difficult though they mean no harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the group debates names for their new base. Mifuyu suggests Hope&#039;s Hearth, but Alina and Touka shoot it down. Tsukuyo offers The Magius Land of Love and Hope, which Alina calls equally lame. Tsukasa attempts to avenge her sister, but Alina criticizes her harshly. Alina reveals her idea: Studio Little Hope. Touka offers The Hope Observatory. Nemu suggests Fendt Hope, a name everyone draws different meanings from. Everyone agrees, but Nemu reveals she already created the Uwasa before they could discuss the name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Everyone is upset. Nemu explains she feared the witches they gathered would be discovered and acted quickly. For now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add more by writing sequels. They ask again what kind of base Nemu wanted. She thinks that so long as everyone is here with her, she does not mind what kind of base it is. She replies she wants a place with her friends that can also serve as a battleground where they are employees and the witches they raise are customers. She settles on a hotel concept and dubs the base Hotel Fendt Hope. A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her service. Back in the present, she ponders her progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. The pain comes from using her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the Magius&#039; progress, she still feels empty inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A White Feather contacts Nemu, claiming she is struggling with a witch and needs assistance. Nemu agrees and heads off, meeting Black Feathers at the scheduled location. While being escorted, she asks if they ever felt empty. They explain that upon realizing the burden of their wish and their fate, they gave up fighting completely—after crying and screaming, all that remained was nothing. They find the witch and sense the White Feather fighting inside. Nemu enters the barrier and asks her to stand back, but the Feather refuses, saying losing Nemu would mean losing a leader. The witch is defeated, but the White Feather loses her life. Nemu offers the Black Feathers the Grief Seed as repayment. As countless people pass by without acknowledging her, she finally understands her emptiness: no one is here to recognize their achievements as magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a memory from her hospitalization, Nemu, Touka, and Ui watch as Nemu&#039;s story rises in views. Touka informs her of an email from a publisher wanting to talk. Ui is delighted, seeing the start of Nemu&#039;s career. Nemu asks they ignore it, wanting to keep things as they are. She fears going professional will distance them from readers. A nurse enters, informing Nemu her family is here. Her mother greets her, offering new pajamas and the book Nemu wanted. Her mother tells Nemu their next visit will not be for a while, as she and her father are busy. After they go, Nemu apologizes for her mother&#039;s talkativeness. Touka complains that Nemu&#039;s family talked only about themselves. Nemu explains this is her only connection to the outside world and she treasures it, but admits she feels distant and fears as time goes on, she will distance further. Later that night while asleep, Nemu has an attack. As she dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. Every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out, reaching for her, caring for her. It turns out in these moments, her mother was really by her side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nemuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ui&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Ui struggles with a school assignment about her future, feeling inadequate next to her gifted friends Touka and Nemu who have already made progress toward their goals. Yachiyo and Iroha counsel her that uncertainty is normal and she is being too hard on herself, though Felicia grows visibly unhappy that attention has shifted away from her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Hazuki and Nanaka team up with Ui to teach her how to defeat witches. Ui claims her first victory and receives a grief seed as a reward while Touka and Nemu tag along to offer congratulations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the two depart, Felicia and Ayame lure Ui to an open field and challenge her to a fight, admitting they are jealous that Ui has been monopolizing their sister&#039;s attention. Before the battle can begin, Sana and Iroha arrive. Iroha delivers a lengthy reprimand that stretches from afternoon until evening, scolding the children for using their powers in personal conflicts. The children eventually apologize and make amends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home that night, Iroha senses Ui is still troubled and encourages her to open up. She shares her own journey toward becoming a nurse and urges Ui to explore the world rather than dwell on low self-esteem. Ui finds comfort in her sister&#039;s words.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ui returns to the hospital where she once stayed and reflects on how she and her friends have grown over time. She encounters her doctor, who is moved that Ui can now think about her future and advises her to enjoy life without rushing. When Ui mentions that Touka and Nemu have already found their goals, the doctor suggests thinking about what she genuinely loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui suddenly realizes she loves the choir and wants to become a music teacher. She excitedly shares this revelation with her family and friends and resolves to work hard toward this future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Uiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ui Tamaki#Side Story|Ui&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi destroys a Witch and notices they have become more numerous and powerful, so she decides to warn every Magical Girl. She first brings Tsukasa Amane to Mitama Yakumo for an adjustment, and Mitama confirms that more girls have been coming from all over Kamihama. Tsukasa receives a call from her sister Tsukuyo and departs for Mizuna Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanagi Izumi#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kanagi is working at a maid cafe when Tsukasa arrives looking troubled but runs off before explaining. That evening, Kanagi&#039;s brother mentions that people from west Kamihama tried to pick a fight, and Kanagi decides she needs to warn more girls. She meets Himika Mao, then Seika Kumi and Reira Ibuki, advising them all to be careful and hunt in pairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Mitama&#039;s and finds the Amane sisters leaving, but they run off upon seeing her. Mitama mentions she had Momoko Togame help clear some familiars, suggesting the east-west conflict has calmed. When Kanagi asks about the Amanes, Mitama says they came for adjustments, and Kanagi admits Tsukasa seems to be avoiding her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi goes to Tsukasa&#039;s house in the Artisan Ward and chases her down when she tries to run. Tsukasa asks if Kanagi is interested in releasing Magical Girls from becoming Witches and reveals that a group called the Wings of Magius can save them, inviting Kanagi to join. Kanagi questions whether the group is using her with false promises, but Tsukasa insists she trusts them because Tsukuyo was invited by Mifuyu Azusa. Kanagi calls her pathetic for believing a pipe dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa explains that she and Tsukuyo planned to live together after graduation, but the Witch fate makes this impossible, which is why they joined Magius. Kanagi says she will protect Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, including Tsukasa, but cannot overlook her straying. Tsukasa suggests all eastern Magical Girls want freedom from becoming Witches, but Kanagi asks her to lend her strength instead. Tsukasa says she is too weak, thanks her, and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi reflects on how people in the east are feared and avoided, and Magical Girls have it even worse. She accepted the Witch fate because it was her choice, but she cannot accept the discrimination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Flashback to before Kanagi&#039;s contract: When Kyubey appeared and offered a contract, Kanagi considered wishing to erase Kamihama&#039;s history so people would stop hating Daitou. She realized that changing history would not actually change people&#039;s opinions, so instead she wished to know the reason why everyone hates Daitou. She gained the power to read minds and learned there was no reason—only baseless hatred built on circumstances rather than individuals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kanagi receives an adjustment from Mitama and notes that eastern Magical Girls are all joining the Wings of Magius. Mitama observes that they are the ones who most desire to be saved from their circumstances. Kanagi says she loves Daitou and wants Kamihama to live in peace, but she believes the only way is to destroy Kamihama. If everyone loses everything, they will be forced to work together and old differences will vanish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi acknowledges she lacks the power to destroy Kamihama now, so for the time being she will destroy Witches and protect Magical Girls. But if the time comes, she will destroy Kamihama to save Daitou.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanagiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayaka and Shizuku visit Mitama to plan their next destination, but when darts land on the Japan Trench, Shizuku storms off rather than be mocked. Felicia arrives for an adjustment and presses Mitama about her past, but Mitama deflects. Later at Yachiyo&#039;s house, Iroha and Yachiyo scold Felicia for prying, though they admit curiosity. Felicia runs off with Sana to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mitama Yakumo#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Felicia and Sana transfer to Daitou Academy to learn more about Mitama, following her to class and even attempting to search her bag. Mitama catches them and explains she cannot teach them adjustment, urging them to return to their own school. That night, Kanagi visits Mitama, and they discuss Mitama&#039;s isolation and her progress in learning to fight. Kanagi warns that Mitama&#039;s magic could be dangerous, but Mitama insists she is ordinary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia posts signs offering stickers for information on Mitama, which Mitama finds endearing and leaves up. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa arrive, concerned that people are asking about Mitama&#039;s past, and mention that students at Mizuna Girls&#039; Academy still remember her. Mitama asks Tsukuyo for a favor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo spreads the original story to prevent worse rumors, adding a small embellishment. Manaka investigates after hearing gossip, finds the old literary magazine, and discusses it with Sana. Momoko defends Mitama from a familiar and reaffirms her trust in her. Later, Yachiyo and Iroha bring Felicia and Sana to apologize, revealing that Tsukuyo acted at Mitama&#039;s request. Mitama accepts Felicia&#039;s sticker as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama reflects with Kanagi that only Kanagi knows her true self. A flashback reveals Mitama&#039;s past: gifted but resented for her origins, she was betrayed by a friend and falsely accused of pushing a classmate. Forced to leave Mizuna, she faced scorn in Daitou until she snapped when someone threatened her sister. Kanagi stopped her from attacking students with a fire extinguisher and welcomed her home. Later, overwhelmed with hatred, Mitama wished to Kyubey to destroy Kamihama. In the present, she admits that through adjusting others&#039; magic and witnessing their memories, her hatred is slowly fading thanks to everyone&#039;s kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mitamass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsukuyo&#039;s Side Story and Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo is burdened by endless lessons and errands for others, finding her only solace in playing a bamboo flute her father had given her at a distant shrine. One day she glimpses a girl who looked exactly like her, and the encounter leaves her deeply unsettled until Mifuyu urges her to return and face it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the shrine, Tsukuyo bumps into the girl, and both beg the other not to kill them. They discover their names both contained the character for moon and realized they were twin sisters - their parents had separated, and the girls had been hidden from each other. They begin meeting in secret, finding in each other the first person who truly understands them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, their differences emerge. Tsukuyo, raised in strict formality, finds Tsukasa&#039;s casual manners vulgar, while Tsukasa, burdened by poverty, finds Tsukuyo&#039;s perfect life boastful. Their arguments grow worse until they stop seeing each other. Tsukuyo eventually collapses from stress after snapping at her grandmother, while Tsukasa nearly drowned after a Witch tempts her, rescued by Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaneess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsukuyo Amane#Side Story|Tsukuyo&#039;s]] and [[Tsukasa Amane#Side Story|Tsukasa&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the hospital, Mifuyu tells Tsukuyo that her twin had collapsed at the same time. The pediatrician remembers delivering them - they were born holding hands. Tsukuyo realizes she had accepted Tsukasa from birth and regretted their fight. Tsukasa arrives and suggests they throw away their pasts and start over.

===Kagome&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, pick and choose and mix, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome looks through her graduation album with Aru and remembers her childhood. She was shy and had no friends until she met Hibari, another quiet girl who approached her using ventriloquism with a cat stuffed animal and gave her a Mandragora plushie. Kagome named the plushie Aru and used it to practice ventriloquism, and she and Hibari became inseparable best friends. Before Hibari&#039;s family moved away, she performed a charm ritual on Aru and promised they would meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message that Hibari is coming to visit Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives and they plan to visit an arcade. Along the way they encounter Himena&#039;s group and later help a lost Shizuka. After some confusion about directions, they reach the arcade where Hibari wins a crane game prize and helps Juri win one too. Hibari suddenly becomes pale and goes to get change, but she does not return. Kagome calls her and Hibari thanks her for being friends before saying goodbye, with an ambulance audible in the background.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome discovers a crowd under a Witch&#039;s Kiss heading toward a rooftop and sends emergency messages to every Magical Girl she knows. Himena&#039;s group arrives to help hold back the crowd, but other girls cannot come due to similar incidents elsewhere. Shizuka finally checks her phone and rushes over with the Tokime Clan just as someone threatens to ignite kerosene. They stop the crowd while Juri and Ao defeat the Witch with Livia&#039;s help. The Witch&#039;s Kiss is lifted and Hibari wakes up confused, with Livia covering that she collapsed from anemia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari admits she felt faint because seeing Kagome surrounded by friends made her happy but also made her feel left behind and alone. Kagome insists Hibari is wrong and promises to come running whenever Hibari is in trouble, asking them to stay best friends forever. Hibari reveals the two wishes she made when they parted came true: that she could speak her mind loudly and that Kagome would make lots of friends. They renew their promise to remain best friends forever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kagomess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They bonded over a shared love of &amp;quot;The Adventure of Mandragora.&amp;quot; Hibari gave Kagome a Mandragora plushie named Al-chan and asked to be friends. Kagome learned ventriloquism through Al-chan and grew more confident. The two became inseparable.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Kagome&#039;s family moved due to her father&#039;s job transfer, Hibari put a charm on Al-chan with a secret wish. They promised to meet again. Years later, Kagome receives a message from Hibari saying she will visit Kamihama. Kagome prepares to show her around.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hibari arrives in Kamihama. Kagome is happy to see her. They go to the arcade. On the way, they run into Himena and her group. Kagome introduces Hibari. Later, Kagome helps Shizuka, who was lost and struggling with a foreigner. Hibari is impressed by how much Kagome has grown.&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the arcade. Hibari wins a plushie from a difficult crane game in one try. Juri, Yuna, and Ao appear. Juri asks Hibari to win a prize for her. Hibari succeeds. Juri offers a drink as thanks, but Hibari declines.&lt;br /&gt;

* Day 4&lt;br /&gt;
** Juri struggled at school, frustrated by classmates who avoided conflict and teachers who enabled them. Her anger built up.

After thinking it over, she searches for information with help from others, but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hinano explains that because the agreement fell through, local manufacturers like Kanoko’s father stayed in business, so there was little news. Chiharu and Sunao arrange a meeting at the factory and bring Shizuka. Kanoko’s father tells Shizuka his factory would have failed otherwise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuka Tokime#Side Story|Shizuka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Shigure and Hagumu grow close but quickly become jaded. Their families and classmates resent their constant lateness, which comes from Magius work no one can know about. Even the classmate Shigure saved never acknowledged her. They begin to believe magical girls are superior to ordinary humans and deserve recognition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shiguress&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shigure Miyabi#Side Story|Shigure&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Hagumu&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hagumu reflects on her time as a Black Feather in the Wings of the Magius. After Walpurgisnacht, the organization dissolved, and many former Feathers joined the Kamihama Magia Union. Hagumu is uncertain, as she believes in Magical Girl Supremacy and cannot accept the Union&#039;s ideology of liberation without sacrifice. Shigure contacts her, asking to meet and talk. Shigure wants to convince Touka and Nemu to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Hagumu is conflicted—she cannot trust the Magius after being exploited, but she also cannot decide what to do. She asks for time to think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hagumu Azumi#Side Story|Hagumu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu meets Maria, a former Magius member who joined the Union. Maria notices Hagumu looks unwell and offers to listen. Hagumu explains her dilemma: she cannot agree with the Union&#039;s ideology, but she also cannot follow Shigure&#039;s plan. Maria suggests Hagumu ask other Magical Girls how they decided. Hagumu recalls her wish was made in haste to save a woman under a Witch&#039;s Kiss, and she regrets not choosing a better wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Moka why she joined the Union. Moka says she joined because she was invited and everyone is kind. Hagumu sees Moka is honest and never doubts people, which is why everyone supports her. Hagumu realizes they are completely different—Moka has people who protect her, while Hagumu feels she has nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu asks Yukika, a former Black Feather, why she declined the Union. Yukika says she did not want to drag others into trouble. Hagumu sees Yukika has strong convictions and follows them, unlike herself. Hagumu feels more discouraged.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu visits Mitama&#039;s shop and unexpectedly finds Kanagi. Kanagi says she does not hold Hagumu&#039;s Black Feather past against her and invites her to join the Union. Kanagi praises Hagumu&#039;s abilities in fighting Witches and says she would be valued. Mitama explains the Union is about mutual support—others can defend her territory, and she can support those who struggle with Witches. Hagumu is moved but asks for more time to discuss it with Shigure.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hagumu finishes sewing Cinderella&#039;s costume and is praised by her club members. She feels a sense of accomplishment. However, she forgot to order the glass slippers. Her seniors are disappointed but tell her to order them now and make a to-do list next time. Hagumu feels crushed—she finally succeeded at something, only to fail again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu senses a Witch and goes to help. She sees Riko, an elementary schooler, defeating the Witch on her own. Hagumu realizes her ability to fight Witches is not special—any Magical Girl can do it. She feels her &amp;quot;glass slippers&amp;quot; are cracking and shattering. She breaks down crying and goes to Maria. Maria comforts her, saying everyone makes mistakes and she has good qualities. Hagumu says she cannot join the Union because she would just be baggage. Maria says they can still be friends regardless of groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hagumu decides to follow Shigure. She concludes that if she has anything to be proud of, it is being a Magical Girl. She sees Touka and Nemu as her &amp;quot;fairy godmothers&amp;quot; and Magical Girl Supremacy as her &amp;quot;glass slippers.&amp;quot; She believes it is the only way for someone like her to be recognized. She tells Shigure they should bring Touka and Nemu back to lead the Wings of the Magius again. Shigure agrees. Hagumu accepts that she has nothing going for her, but she will cling to this path anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hagumuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* At the Hikarizuka Youth Association, San is treated like a younger sister by the members. The Chairman reveals the Association is facing rumours of shady business and has lost a major sponsor. The Fire Festival may be cancelled. San tells Miyuri about her past—as a child, she was scared of the Festival until Tatsu showed her the beauty of the flames. She joined the Youth Association out of admiration.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[San Kagura#Side Story|San&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Years ago, a movement to abolish the Festival arose. San wished to Kyubey to &amp;quot;make the Fire Festival remain,&amp;quot; and the movement died out. However, the Festival is now in trouble again because her wish only solved the immediate crisis. San suggests that if they could make people believe in a visible god, they could restore faith in the Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San and Miyuri try fundraising but fail. San decides to research the god of Hikarizuka Shrine.

San realizes she can become a visible god and spread Magical Girl supremacy to protect the Festival. She decides to contact the new Wings of Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San meets Shigure and Hagumu, who lead the Neo-Magius. They ask her to join as an instructor. San declines, saying she is more suited to being a lieutenant. She receives a message that Tatsu was caught in a violent incident. San rushes back. Sponsors are considering dropping out due to the incident. San decides to negotiate with Miyuri&#039;s father to continue sponsorship just for this year. She kneels and begs him. He agrees but says this will be the last year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sanss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** San tells Himena about her wish and her determination to become a god. She vows to spread Magical Girl supremacy and revive the Fire Festival by any means necessary. Himena approves.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Miyuri&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena, Alexandra, Hagumu, and Shigure watch as San stretches Miyuri. Miyuri&#039;s loud reactions draw attention. Himena asks about Miyuri&#039;s inline skating. Miyuri explains she started skating as a child because she was bad at running and her parents bought her skates. She fell in love with the feeling of cutting through the wind and quickly improved, eventually competing in freestyle competitions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Miyuri Yukari#Side Story|Miyuri&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s social anxiety worsened. She began experiencing panic attacks at competitions and could no longer compete. Her parents signed her up with the Hikarizuka Youth Association to help her interact with people. There, she met San for the first time. San invited her to dance practice. Miyuri fainted from overexcitement while watching San&#039;s legs. She realized she had a leg fetish and that it triggered her anxiety. She began avoiding San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri&#039;s skating practice suffered. Her mother suggested she visit the Community Center. Miyuri avoided San again and went outside to practice skating alone at night. She felt free and happy while skating. San saw her dancing in the moonlight and was mesmerized. San decided she wanted to help Miyuri grow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) San found Miyuri outside and offered to walk home with her. Miyuri confessed her anxiety and leg fetish. San suggested Miyuri focus on San&#039;s legs to drown out thoughts of others&#039; legs. Miyuri was inspired. She continued to struggle but Kyubey appeared and offered to grant her wish. Miyuri wished for every second of her panic attacks to pass faster. She won the competition without remembering it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) Miyuri learned her new power shortened her experience of anxiety. She became more confident but still fainted easily. She fought Witches alone, often blacking out and going berserk. She encountered the Wings of the Magius while chasing a Witch. Her Doppel emerged. San appeared as the Instructor, defeated the Witch, and fended off the Doppel. San invited Miyuri to join the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Flashback) At Fendt Hope, Mifuyu assessed Miyuri. Miyuri accidentally injured Mifuyu during training. Touka and Nemu suggested San should train Miyuri since she could still hear San&#039;s voice when unconscious. San agreed and became Miyuri&#039;s instructor. Under San&#039;s guidance, Miyuri learned to fight without hurting others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** (Present) Back at the Community Center, Miyuri finishes her story. She does not regret her wish because it led her to become San&#039;s secret weapon and join Neo-Magius. Himena and the others leave, leaving San and Miyuri alone and Miyuri is mitten with San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Miyuriss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Lavi goes shopping with Mikage and Nayuta. At the vegetable shop, the owner thanks Lavi for her gardening advice. A woman gives Lavi fresh eggs as thanks for organic vegetables from Lavi&#039;s grandfather. Mikage notices Lavi knows many housewives. Nayuta realizes she knows little about Lavi&#039;s past.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi explains she used to have a frail body as a child due to an unidentifiable condition. Her grandfather grew organic vegetables, which eased her symptoms. However, a severe storm destroyed the field&#039;s soil, making it impossible to grow vegetables. Lavi wished to restore the soil and became a Magical Girl. Her wish saved the field and gave hope to others. She admits her improved health was partly due to becoming a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage wants to make the newspaper more interesting, so Lavi offers to demonstrate &amp;quot;newsworthy&amp;quot; housework. She cooks lunch while Mikage records. Nayuta and Mikage try to help but ruin the dish with too much seasoning. They are distraught, but Lavi salvages it using cabbage and eggs. The meal is delicious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After making the newspaper, Nayuta and Mikage fall asleep. Lavi reflects on her past. She reveals that she never found joy in living despite her family&#039;s efforts. Her father wrote: &amp;quot;People live through trials presented to them, but ultimately we are made to be saved.&amp;quot; Lavi found joy only when she could save others as a Magical Girl. However, she now fears that Magical Girls are beyond salvation due to their fate of becoming Witches. She dreams of Nayuta&#039;s coming-of-age ceremony but knows it will not come true. She asks for a little more time in her beloved daily life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Laviss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Asahi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime Tribe holds a celebration to welcome Asahi. During introductions, Chiharu rambles excitedly about her favorite shows, and Asahi finds herself intrigued. When pressed to share more about herself, Asahi talks about hunting and the importance of minimizing suffering. That evening, Chiharu confides to Shizuka and Sunao that she still knows nothing about Asahi’s wish or background. Shizuka suggests they leave Asahi be, but Chiharu’s curiosity lingers, so Shizuka proposes a sleepover. Later that night, Chiharu wakes and sees Asahi speaking with a ghost—a woman whose funeral was recently held at the temple. Terrified, she bolts back inside, convinced Asahi might be a ghost too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the head priest tells Chiharu about the onibaba, a demon who sharpens her knife and stalks the temple halls at night. Recalling the knives in Asahi’s room and the sound of sharpening, Chiharu concludes Asahi is possessed. Shizuka agrees they must perform an exorcism. The trio’s attempts—slapping Asahi’s back, giving her charms, trying hypnotism—fail, and Asahi grows suspicious she has been discovered as a mole. Overhearing them plan to search her room, she secures her belongings and rigs simple traps. When the girls invade, chaos ensues until Chiharu reaches Asahi’s room. Asahi confronts her with a knife, but the misunderstanding quickly unravels. The head priest admits he made up the onibaba legend for fun. Everyone apologizes, and they end the day with a shared dinner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Asahi reflects to the Folklore girls on the Tokime Tribe’s purity despite their painful history, finding it difficult to maintain her distance as a mole. That night, she joins Shizuka, Chiharu, Sunao, Ryouko, and Chika for a meteor shower. When the others make wishes, Asahi confesses her own: she would go back and undo her wish, which she made to stop her grandfather’s meddling. Her wish came true in a roundabout way, leading to his death, and she realized too late his nosiness came from love. Pressed on what he meddled about, she admits it was her hobby—military history and steampunk—which she had been embarrassed to reveal. The others reassure her, and Chiharu finally understands why Asahi hid her belongings. As the meteor shower peaks, the group makes wishes for their futures together. Shizuka feels closer to Asahi despite still knowing little about her. Asahi, though she believes destruction awaits them, secretly wishes for their peaceful days to last and clings to a fragile hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Asahiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asahi Miura#Side Story|Asahi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Alexandra&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Re-analyze and structure this. It is a double-story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra dreams of her school days. She sees her past self smiling and realizes she is dreaming of the time she was in love. In the dream, she discusses love with Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu. Himena shares a romantic story about stargazing with Hiko. When Himena asks about their own love lives, Alexandra begins crying unexpectedly. She denies anything is wrong, but Himena apologizes for being insensitive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Alexandra Kurusu#Side Story|Alexandra&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the dream, Alexandra&#039;s teacher appears—but he looks like Shigure. Other people appear as Himena and Hagumu. She recalls that her teacher was her math teacher and club advisor. He was strict and had a reputation for being scary. Alexandra remembers how she would complain about him with her classmates.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After club activities, Alexandra wants to practice singing more. She goes to the rooftop and finds the teacher there. He allows her to practice under his supervision. They begin meeting regularly on the rooftop. She learns he does not smoke and is careful about his throat. He mentions that being an adult is not that great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A male classmate confesses to Alexandra. She almost accepts but pictures the teacher&#039;s face and realizes she loves someone else. She rejects the classmate. Later, it rains, and the teacher lends her his towel. She realizes she has fallen in love with him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra begins trying to appeal to the teacher daily. She asks about his relationship status and learns he is single. She indirectly describes him when talking about her type. She leaves a love letter in his shoe locker. He thinks it is a prank but recognizes her handwriting. She keeps trying to convey her feelings, but he never takes her seriously.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra&#039;s behavior becomes obvious in class. She eagerly volunteers to answer questions and is overly happy when called on. Her classmates are amazed she can talk to the scary teacher so cheerfully. She learns everyone fears him. She asks why he became a teacher, and he admits his parents were teachers and he had wanted to be a singer but never pursued it. He wonders if there is any meaning to his life. Alexandra feels sorrow and wants him to be happy. She begins planning to improve his reputation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey appears and offers to grant any wish. Alexandra wants to capture the teacher&#039;s heart through her own efforts. She decides not to make a wish yet. She organizes a surprise birthday party for him with her classmates. He is genuinely happy and thanks her. He realizes she planned it. She tells him all the students respect him. He says he is really happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra continues her jokes and attempts to get closer to the teacher. She jokes about marriage and asks for a date on the school trip. He unexpectedly agrees to go shopping with her for a few minutes. She hugs him in excitement. A classmate spots them on the rooftop. Rumors spread quickly. The principal calls the teacher in. He faces possible transfer, and Alexandra will lose her recommendation for college. The teacher calls her and tries to convince her that her feelings are not real love—that adults can fool children. Alexandra is angry and refuses to believe him. She calls Kyubey and wishes for her love for the teacher to be erased.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After her wish, Alexandra becomes cold toward the teacher. She answers questions normally in class but stops talking to him personally. She returns his towel. Their hands touch briefly. She becomes distant and rude. The teacher is surprised. Alexandra regrets her abrupt change but cannot explain. She worries she has made him lose faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra cannot wake up from the dream. She imagines the teacher scolding her for playing with his feelings. She decides she needs to apologize in real life. She goes to Minaminagi for a walk and coincidentally runs into the teacher, who is inspecting the school trip location. He thanks her for the birthday party and says he has become a better teacher because of her. She confesses she used a wish to erase her love. She tells him her feelings were not a deception—they were true love. She thanks him for a wonderful time and says she now only places her faith in Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Alexandrass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They discover they are the same grade and both hail from Takarazaki, and Iroha mentions she also searched for a lost loved one. Nayuta requests to see Yachiyo, apologizing for her bluntness. Iroha reassures her, noting they are both stubborn junior‑high girls from Takarazaki who came to Kamihama to find someone important.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki, Yachiyo has no new information about Nayuta’s father. Tsuruno has Nayuta show a photo, but no one recognizes him. Felicia suggests Nayuta simply ask Touka, since she also grew up at Satomi Medical Center. Nayuta refuses, saying she cannot trust Touka, and apologizes for her stubbornness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Nayuta admits to Lavi she slept poorly because she cannot stop thinking about Touka. Mikage arrives, upset after a fight with Sudachi: Mikage complained about school, Sudachi said she envied Mikage for being able to attend, and they argued over whose position was harder.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta starts venting about Touka’s past cruelty, and she and Mikage bicker over whose problem matters more until Lavi defuses things with pudding.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage realizes she lost her handkerchief, so they go to the Tomorrow Shop and find Sudachi holding it. Accusations fly, but Nayuta orders them to stop trying to make each other look bad. Lavi explains that their recent fight has warped their perceptions, and Nayuta connects this to her class lesson about only seeing surface actions. They discover Mikage accidentally tucked the handkerchief into Sudachi’s bag because their bags match perfectly. Apologies follow; Sudachi admits she envies Mikage’s schooling, and Mikage admits she should have been more sensitive. They reconcile on the spot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Nayuta breaks down, telling Lavi she wants to “start over” with her parents. The Johari Window exercise made her realize she never changes her judgments and has lost relationships because of it. She tried to help Mikage and Sudachi only because she panicked they would lose each other like she lost her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In flashback, Nayuta recalls her strict “tiger mother” and gentle father. Her mother pushed her relentlessly—once scolding her for scoring ninety‑five instead of first place—while her father’s laid‑back nature sparked constant fights between her parents. Unable to endure the household, Nayuta made a wish: to make her mother as calm and gentle as her father. Instead, her parents divorced. With her personality changed, her mother realized their opposite temperaments had balanced each other, and their love was lost. Her father understood it was a magical girl’s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Lavi tells Nayuta that self‑awareness is the first step to change, using a fable about not clinging to old assumptions. People grow, and while Nayuta cannot repair every lost relationship, she can still fix some.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta reconciles with Touka, apologizing for slapping her before and for failing to see how she has grown. Touka admits she was awful in the past and respects Nayuta’s father now. Peace lasts only a moment before Touka insults his appearance, and Nayuta slaps her again and storms home. Lavi approves of her standing her ground, and Nayuta realizes she and Lavi are more alike than she thought.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Nayutass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta Satomi#Side Story|Nayuta&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikage&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While having tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage is in a foul mood and eventually reveals that Mitama “betrayed her.” She had gone to surprise Mitama only to find her laughing and joking with a group of friends, which made Mikage feel abandoned because she thought neither of them had any. Lavi suggests Mikage make her own friends among Magical Girls, and Mikage’s mood instantly lifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, classmates who used to bully her avoid her, but Mikage is determined to find Magical Girl friends. Himika tells her about Emiri’s counseling center, so they go there together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the center, Emiri, Sasara, Asuka, and Kanoko are delighted to meet Mitama’s little sister. Mikage explains she is looking for a friend, but Emiri points out they are already her friends. After some banter about fashion, Mikage tries on Kanoko’s outfits and has a wonderful time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mikage wonders if the older girls truly see her as a friend or just as a kid. Himika suggests she meet girls her own age like Ui, Touka, and Nemu, though Mikage is uncertain about befriending the geniuses.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When she returns home, Mitama warns her that Ui has been kidnapped by Promised Blood and forbids Mikage from associating with the Kamihama Magia Union. Mikage reluctantly agrees but is frustrated her efforts to make friends have been stopped.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama leaves for work and Mikage accuses her of hypocrisy—Mitama can spend time with the KMU while Mikage cannot. She runs out, declaring she will find a new big sister. She finds Emiri’s office closed but runs into Rika and Ren, who quickly realize she is Mitama’s sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Mikage bond over fashion and go to some cheap stores, where Mikage realizes she left her wallet. They play a crane game instead, and Rika wins stuffed animals for Ren and Mikage. Mikage asks Rika to be her big sister; Rika declines but encourages her to talk to Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Still not ready to go home, Mikage tracks down Kanoko at her family’s factory. Kanoko lets her help make a pendant, but before Mikage can convince her to become her sister, Mitama arrives and drags her home. Kanoko tells Mikage that having a strict family member who cares is a good thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Mitama scolds her for blocking her calls and reminds her they are in a war. Mikage finally vents that Mitama gets to have all the friends while she is forbidden from making any. Later, she finds Mitama has made all her favorite foods, and they reconcile off‑screen; Mikage gives Mitama the pendant she made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Mitama wears the pendant everywhere. She has an errand involving the mayoral election and sends Mikage to return a bento box. On the way, Mikage meets Ui and Riko, who recognize her as Mitama’s sister. Even though she is supposed to avoid the KMU, Mikage agrees to play after they help Riko finish her chores.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage tries to act like the big sister but keeps making mistakes. When she asks why Ui and Riko are so kind, Ui explains that Magical Girls are born of hope and know pain, so they try to be kind—something she learned from Iroha. The three finish their work and go off to play together. Mikage decides she wants to be friends with them and someday introduce them to Sudachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage tries to go out again but Mitama stops her, and Mikage admits she was going to see Ui and Riko. Mitama asks her to stay home, and Mikage agrees. Soon she gets texts that Ui and Riko have also been ordered to stay indoors. Mikage flashes back to the night she made her wish and reflects that ever since then she has felt like she is “riding a wave” and cannot move forward, but she knows she cannot do it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over tea with Lavi and Nayuta, Mikage explains that Mitama keeps her from meeting KMU girls. Lavi mentions the KMU are upset but does not say why, and Mikage accepts the lack of answer, surprising Nayuta. Mikage says that all of this had to happen and that she is waiting for a “big wave” she cannot resist—that will be her time to act. She thinks to herself that she has known her sister’s wish and has already pushed back against the wave Mitama caused.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage declares she will not give up on making Kamihama Magia Union friends. She then decides that since Lavi and Nayuta are older, they can be her big sisters instead. They exchange a look and agree to treat her for one day. Mikage expresses her hope that someday she and Sudachi can play with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikagess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikage Yakumo#Side Story|Mikage&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sudachi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi was a loner in her class, keeping to herself to avoid trouble. One day, a former classmate of her teachers stormed in with a gun and knife, taking everyone hostage. After torturing the teacher, he demanded a hostage to help him escape. Because she had no friends, her classmates eagerly pushed her forward, and even the criminal noted that no one would care if she died. As she trembled with fear and confusion, Kyubey appeared and offered her a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Out of anger and fear, she wished that only she would be rescued. Kyubey asked her to reconsider, but with the criminal advancing on her, she confirmed her wish. Kyubey granted it, and the man suddenly declared that she was a kindred spirit—an outcast like him. He said he would spare her alone and kill the rest. The trauma of the event and her regret over the wish left Sudachi with PTSD that made her unable to speak.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, a magical girl named Livia invited Sudachi to Kamihama, where their work might offer her salvation despite its difficult costs. Sudachi followed her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* There, she met Mikage Yakumo, who had overcome her own painful past and still loved her family unconditionally. Mikage extended her friendship to Sudachi, telling her she was giving her the benefit of the doubt even after learning the truth about her wish. Touched, Sudachi found her first real friend in Kamihama—someone who believed she could eventually be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sudachiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sudachi Sawa#Side Story|Sudachi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yozuru&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu tails Yozuru, suspecting Puella Care members are up to no good. She watches Yozuru grin at a book and follows her throughout the day—first to Banbanzai, where Yozuru’s compliment moves Tsuruno’s father to tears, then around various shops where she receives warm reactions from vendors. Mifuyu briefly considers that Yozuru might manipulate emotions but dismisses the idea because Yozuru is a coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yozuru plays piano at a pharmacist’s request, impressing everyone, then meets Livia Medeiros and Sudachi Sawa. Sudachi exposes Mifuyu, who decides to introduce herself directly. Livia leaves them to talk. At Puella Care’s headquarters, Yozuru serves food; Mifuyu hesitates, suspecting poison, but Yozuru taste‑tests it first. Mifuyu is surprised by how good it is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu asks what Puella Care means to her, Yozuru says it makes her feel free. Mifuyu shares her own strict upbringing. Before Yozuru can elaborate, members of Promised Blood arrive. They nearly clash with Mifuyu, but Yozuru tries to defuse the tension with funny faces. The group leaves, and Mifuyu concludes Yozuru is gentle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Yozuru meets Livia and Sudachi again. Yozuru worries she lacks the kindness to be a good coordinator, but Livia encourages her. Sudachi’s stomach rumbles, and Yozuru prepares snacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In a flashback, young Yozuru lived under her mother’s strict, sometimes abusive control. She found freedom only after her mother died, but discovering her mother’s diary filled her with regret, and she planned suicide. Kyubey appeared; instead of reviving her mother, Yozuru wished to “kill her…” so that she could continue living. Kyubey erased her guilt and kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Livia warns Yozuru that her inability to read emotions will make coordinating difficult. Yozuru replies that her mother trained her to face worse and declares she will live to the fullest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yozuruss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yozuru Sasame#Side Story|Yozuru&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Livia&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited by someone who wants to learn about her. She refuses to talk about herself but agrees to discuss Puella Care. She explains that Puella Care is a Coordinator service that makes house calls. They also teach girls who cannot fight Witches how to survive. Livia mentions Mitama, Yozuru, and Sudachi as examples. She notes that Yozuru and Sudachi have school and do not always travel with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Livia Medeiros#Side Story|Livia&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the difference between regular Magical Girls and Coordinators. She theorizes that Coordinators are born from curse-like wishes, while Magical Girls who can fight are born from hope. She admits this is only her personal theory. She says she cannot talk about herself further but may open up eventually.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is visited again. She jokes about the visitor&#039;s persistence. Yozuru and Sudachi return from stocking up on essentials. Sudachi trips, and Yozuru hesitates to help. Livia instructs Yozuru to help Sudachi stand and dust her off. Yozuru apologizes and explains she is not equipped with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the trailer, Yozuru offers tea. Sudachi wants teacakes. Livia allows them to have some as a treat. Livia reflects that she needs to help the girls mature. Yozuru has lost compassion, while Sudachi needs to find her words. Livia believes they will complement each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia is found sleeping and crying. Yozuru gives her a handkerchief. Livia says crying in sleep happens occasionally and is common among Coordinators. She thanks Sudachi for finding her dropped ring. Sudachi sulks when Livia refuses to give her sweets as thanks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia explains the ring is a treasure and a way of reprimanding herself. It is the reason she lives for &amp;quot;Mister Sun.&amp;quot; She says she may tell the full story another time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia shares her philosophy: no matter how awful life is, do not drift in a bad direction or relieve resentment with a curse. Magical Girls are born from hope and must overcome struggles with hope. She warns against corrupting purity and urges supporting those with pure hearts. She says she has said enough for now and will share the rest when she is ready. She asks the visitor to promise to live strong, face forward, and not end up like her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Liviass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Touka and Nemu debate whether Lil&#039; Kyubey is pretending to eat or has internal compression organs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lil&#039; Kyubey takes a train and meets Emiri, then goes to a shop where Natsuki cheers with it. It also helps Himika gather grass.

** Lil&#039; Kyubey returns to Mikazuki Villa. Touka and Nemu are exhausted. They conclude Lil&#039; Kyubey may feel things and have sociality, but cannot reach a firm conclusion. Ui arrives and suggests Lil&#039; Kyubey wants to be better friends with everyone. Touka and Nemu agree to consider Lil&#039; Kyubey a being with sociality for now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo spots Lil&#039; Kyubey at night and decides to follow it for a scoop. She suspects Lil&#039; Kyubey is secretly soliciting new Magical Girls. Lil&#039; Kyubey meets Meiyui and gives her KamihaManju, but Meiyui rejects it and tells Lil&#039; Kyubey to bring its owner next time. Lil&#039; Kyubey later meets Hazuki and gives her KamihaManju, but Hazuki refuses, saying she is on a diet and does not want Lil&#039; Kyubey contacting her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo loses sight of Lil&#039; Kyubey. She finds a girl with potential who may have received a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Lil&#039; Kyubey appears and helps fight the Witch alongside Nanaka. After the battle, Nanaka explains Lil&#039; Kyubey followed her into the labyrinth and returned a flower she dropped. Nanaka asks Ryo to tell Lil&#039; Kyubey to stop visiting unfriendly Magical Girls. Ryo realizes Lil&#039; Kyubey avoids girls with potential and is not soliciting anyone. She writes an article correcting her earlier suspicions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui writes a &amp;quot;Lil&#039; Kyubey Observation Journal.&amp;quot; She and Lil&#039; Kyubey wake Tsuruno and Felicia by shouting.

It visits various schools with different Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ui finishes her journal. Touka and Nemu read it and use it as qualitative data. They debate whether Lil&#039; Kyubey is mimicking humans or simply reinforcing Ui&#039;s actions. Iroha suggests Lil&#039; Kyubey is supporting them in their efforts to free all Magical Girls. Lil&#039; Kyubey agrees, and Iroha thanks it for accompanying them. She says they will continue together from now on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LilKyubeyss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This is also belonging to the anime partly. Write the main part on the magia record and then the second part on the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe is a spiritual person who prays regularly because she feels pressure from having to make her own choices. Kyubey, whom she calls a talking cat, keeps urging her to make a contract, but she does not know what to wish for—though she finds herself wishing God could speak to humans like Kyubey does.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day after Kyubey’s visit, Kuroe goes to school tired. When a classmate asks about her praying, Kuroe deflects. Later she asks peers how they see her: one compares her to a cloudy day, a boy praises her ability to find meaning in texts, and another girl makes a harsh comment. The boy defends Kuroe and asks for a book recommendation, which makes her feel understood for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the boy reads the fairy tale Kuroe recommended. He questions a detail in the story, but Kuroe simply accepts it because the writer says so. He jokes that he feels alive because Kuroe thinks so deeply, meaning it as a compliment. Later a teacher asks about her high school plans; Kuroe claims she has decided, but she is merely following her family’s expectations and secretly does not want to go to high school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Watching takoyaki being made, Kuroe reflects on how she cannot decide who she is. Believing that going out with someone might give her an answer, she makes her wish to date the boy who asked for her book recommendation. She fights her first Witch and barely wins. Kyubey tells her there had been no Magical Girl in the area; the Witch’s victims are likely dead, and she could have saved them if she had wished sooner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She stays after school for help on an essay, and he remarks she is too serious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* At home she prays for a life without fighting or seeing people die. At school, in a depressed mood, she asks her boyfriend unsettling questions about sacrifice and guilt. When he realizes something is wrong, she says she is going to die soon. Despite his attempts to help, she breaks up with him, feeling she deceived him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to the train station and senses a Witch. Inside the Labyrinth, she saves a young, inexperienced Magical Girl. When the girl asks for a spare Grief Seed, Kuroe lies and says the Witch got away. The girl promises they will both become strong and leaves. Kuroe later concludes the girl likely died, a breaking point that leaves her feeling unworthy. That night she begins having a strange dream telling her to go to Kamihama, where Magical Girls can be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** That night, Kuroe faces a Witch too powerful for her. Another Magical Girl, Iroha Tamaki, saves her, gives her a Grief Seed, and offers friendship. The kindness reminds Kuroe of the white‑hooded girl and her regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe returns the Grief Seed to Iroha, and they begin working together. They notice no Witches have appeared in Takarazaki for a week—coinciding with Kuroe’s dreams of Kamihama. Seeing online comments from other Magical Girls heading there, Kuroe decides to investigate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe and Iroha go to Kamihama together but nearly die against an unusually strong Witch until Yachiyo Nanami saves them. Yachiyo warns them to stay out. At home, Kuroe watches a video by Touka Satomi of the Wings of the Magius, who promise a world where Magical Girls no longer need to fight. The message comforts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kuroe turns in her essay, which suggests separating students who enjoy school from those who do not. Her teacher tries to help, but Kuroe snaps about always having to pretend. She says she is going to die tomorrow and runs off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe dreams of Iroha, though she cannot understand her words. Her Doppel reflects that her contract gave her affirmation of existence, yet she still does not feel like anyone - she simply adapts to whatever situation she is in, resented by no one and dependent on no one, but still wondering who she should be. In the dream, Iroha asks what scares her and offers to figure out who Kuroe is together. Kuroe wakes up wondering why she dreamed of the camping trip, and she calls Iroha, deciding she wants to connect with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kuroeds&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuroe#Doppel Story|Kuroe&#039;s Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sasara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara is taken hostage at knifepoint in a convenience store. Despite her desire to be a knight, she is too terrified to act. Though the police arrest the criminal and she is safe, Sasara feels ashamed and hates herself for her cowardice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sasara Minagi#Side Story|Sasara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sasara meets Kyubey and when he makes his offer, Sasara accepts without hesitation. As her father works for an emergency rescue squad, a job she admires, he gave her a favorite picture book about a knight who defeats a dragon to save a village. Sasara carries this book everywhere and has always wanted to be like her father and the knight. She wishes to become a knight who can protect and save people, asking for a stronger heart and stronger convictions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Five days later, Sasara has been hunting witches and saving their victims ever since making her contract. She calls herself the Knight who protects the people of Kamihama, but over time her feelings become tainted. The people she rescues never remember what happened and do not acknowledge her. Sasara realizes she wants someone to appreciate her and questions whether she really wanted to become a knight at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day inside a barrier, Sasara tells Kyubey she might have just wanted people to praise and approve of her, like the knight in her picture book. She thought she could accept the people she helped not talking to her, but now it feels like she does not even exist. When a familiar attacks, Sasara moves to shield an unconscious victim and begs to at least save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Another magical girl rescues Sasara and Kyubey introduces her as Asuka Tatsuki, who was hunting a witch and saw Sasara by coincidence. As this is the first magical girl she has ever met, she wants to meet her again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasara and Asuka meet again inside a witch&#039;s barrier and they find a room full of the witch&#039;s victims. Asuka suggests they find the witch first since defeating it will save everyone, but Sasara worries something could happen to the victims in the meantime. As they&#039;re attacked by Familiars, Asuka realizes they should divide their roles: Sasara will protect the victims while Asuka fights. The strategy succeeds, and all the feelings that pained Sasara&#039;s heart disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the witch is defeated, Asuka proposes that Sasara stop being a magical girl in the usual sense and instead become a rescue and defense expert, working alongside her as a magical girl rescue squad. Sasara agrees and asks Asuka if she ever feels lonely fighting alone. Asuka admits she does, but she simply remembers her promise to defeat all witches and protect everyone&#039;s life. Sasara realizes she forgot something important: the knight in her picture book also helped people without thinking, just like her father. She decides she will simply not think anymore and will be Asuka&#039;s partner, answering distress calls as part of the rescue squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;sasarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nanaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Needs to be re-checked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets with Meiyui, Akira, and Kako to ask for their help fighting a witch they all share a connection to. To explain why she needs them, Nanaka tells them how she became a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka&#039;s father headed a traditional Japanese flower arranging school, but when he fell ill, senior students took over and grew the school&#039;s popularity while abandoning its traditions, shutting out Nanaka&#039;s family entirely. On his deathbed, he told her to take back the school. After his death, she was sent to live with relatives, and Kyubey visited her. She contracted, wishing for the power to exact her family&#039;s revenge by her own hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka explains that her wish-derived magic lets her know who her enemy is, and this ability revealed that her true target was not a student but a witch. She compares this witch to a locust swarm: it settles in one area, devours everything through calamities, then migrates. Currently, this witch controls the head of her father&#039;s school through a Witch&#039;s Kiss. It is also behind forced land sales in Kamihama, which connects to Meiyui, and it caused the fire that burned down Kako&#039;s bookstore, leading to her contract. Akira first met Nanaka while fighting one of this witch&#039;s familiars. Akira and Kako quickly agree to help. Meiyui also agrees but notes that as a member of the Souheikai, she cannot follow Nanaka&#039;s orders. Nanaka accepts this, stating the details are unimportant as long as the witch is defeated. Her plan is simple: investigate suspicious areas until they locate the witch&#039;s barrier, then come together to destroy it. The team agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the magical girls track down and defeat the witch. Meiyui is impressed that Nanaka reacted to her actions during battle rather than giving orders, and she declares she now accepts Nanaka as her leader. However, Nanaka reveals the fight is not over, as the witch they defeated was only a copy created from a fully-grown familiar. The team resolves to continue the hunt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Nanaka speaks with Kyubey about a secret she learned after becoming a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the past, while chasing a familiar, she found another Soul Gem and picked it up, then discovered the seemingly dead body of a girl. Nanaka deduced this was the magical girl who lost her Soul Gem, attacked before she could transform. She decided to lay the Soul Gem with its owner&#039;s body, and when she placed the gem in the girl&#039;s hands, the girl began breathing again. Later, Kyubey explained that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, Kyubey asks if Nanaka will tell the others this secret, but she says she is waiting for the right moment. Nanaka then reflects that her true revenge target is actually Kyubey himself. Her power makes it clear he is her enemy, though she does not know all the details, and she is waiting for the right time to turn against him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days pass, and Nanaka&#039;s team is still unable to find the witch. Akira reports meeting a magical girl mercenary. As the girls plan their next move, Nanaka muses about how she is gathering the determination of magical girls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;nanakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nanaka Tokiwa#Side Story|Nanaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuku enjoys time with her friends but feels disconnected from them and uncertain about her future. She finds comfort in Fūnī, a traveler who visits her family&#039;s cafe and shares his dream of finding a place to belong. When he invites her to search with him, she feels hopeful that she will not be alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shizuku Hozumi#Side Story|Shizuku&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* As a magical girl, Shizuku gains the power to connect spaces, allowing her to travel the world much like Fūnī once did. She continues her search, taking jobs from an unknown magical girl who pays her to use her power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day after a job, Yachiyo Nanami, Tsuruno Yui, and Iroha Tamaki approach her. Iroha invites Shizuku to their house, where she meets Felicia Mitsuki and Sana Futaba. She stays for dinner and overnight, observing how the five girls live together like a family. Yachiyo invites her to stay as long as she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku realizes the other girls have found their place to belong, but she understands that her own place was with Fūnī. She cries as his last words finally make sense to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, Shizuku ends her arrangement with the unknown magical girl and returns to Yachiyo&#039;s house, hoping she can stay there. When she arrives, the house is empty, and she sees the personal items that mark each girl&#039;s place. Overhearing them return, she realizes their home is complete with five people and she does not belong there. She leaves quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and the others had prepared a welcome party with cake, but Shizuku never comes. Yachiyo senses that Shizuku might disappear if you look away and admits she should have seen this coming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku returns to the unknown magical girl and asks for more work. When asked why she came back, she says their picture was complete with five people and she must keep searching for where she belongs. She mentally apologizes to Yachiyo, knowing her actions will cause disaster but feeling unprepared to take responsibility. She wonders if she will ever find solid ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shizukuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Akira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After Nanaka and Sasara contracts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Akira wakes from a dream about being attacked by a familiar and finds Sasara Minagi nearby, who is out for a walk. Sasara offers to help Akira search for an old man&#039;s lost cane, recalling she saw children playing with a red cane, and the two head off together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Akira Shinobu#Side Story|Akira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akira reflects on her upbringing in her father&#039;s karate dojo, where she learned to always help those in need and earned the neighborhood nickname &amp;quot;Troubleshooter&amp;quot; starting at age six.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira started middle school, a girl asked her to be a bodyguard against a stalker. The girl brought her to a park, confessed her love, and admitted to lying about the stalker. Akira politely rejected her, saying she didn&#039;t know much about that sort of thing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Akira learned the girl had vanished and spent days searching for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The day Akira found the barrier, she retraced the girl&#039;s steps in the park and stepped into a witch&#039;s labyrinth. She found the missing girl among blank-faced victims marked by a Witch&#039;s Kiss. Kyubey appeared, explained about witches and magical girls, and offered a contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Familiars attacked and overwhelmed her despite her karate training. Injured, Akira wished to save all those people, transformed, and destroyed the familiars.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, none of the victims remembered the incident. Kyubey told Akira she needed to defeat the witch itself, which became her destiny as a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a magical girl, Akira patrolled Kamihama investigating witch-related incidents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day, she encountered a familiar without transforming and dropped her Soul Gem. Unable to retrieve it, she fled the barrier and collapsed unconscious outside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Akira woke, Nanaka Tokiwa introduced herself as the magical girl who found her and picked up her Soul Gem. Nanaka advised withdrawing since Akira had collapsed, and Akira reluctantly agreed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Nanaka called asking for a favor. When they met again, Nanaka requested a duel, claiming Akira was weak and should quit hunting witches. Akira refused, citing her family&#039;s dojo, and they dueled. After some fighting, Nanaka ended the duel and apologized. She explained she wanted to test Akira&#039;s resolve and invited her to work together as a team. Akira relented after Nanaka claimed she was troubled and couldn&#039;t fight witches alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present day, Akira returns the cane to the old man and thanks Sasara. She reflects on meeting many magical girls since joining Nanaka and wonders how many exist in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;akirass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Manaka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes Manaka cooking at her family&#039;s failing restaurant, Walnuts. She dreams of following her father&#039;s footsteps as a chef and believes that gaining admission to the prestigious St. Lillianna Academy will help her cook like a high class lady and restore the restaurant&#039;s popularity. Kyubey notes her poor grades make passing unlikely, but Manaka insists this is her father&#039;s last chance and resolves to study.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Manaka Kurumi#Side Story|Manaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Upon starting at Mizuna, Manaka visits the student council and offers to cook for an upcoming joint assembly with St. Lillian. The council dismisses her, explaining they already arranged a chef.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Walking home, Kyubey again offers a contract. Fed up, Manaka accepts but wishes not for the restaurant&#039;s success, but for a chance to spread their restaurant&#039;s flavors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** After the assembly, Manaka begins selling popular bentos at school and works as a visiting chef at St. Lillian every Thursday.

Meanwhile, her father receives invitations to tour as a chef and seems genuinely happy traveling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt; Manaka questions why she even bothered trying.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, Manaka finishes selling bentos and keeps one for herself. Sana Futaba rushes in, upset at arriving too late.

Sana accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana promises to arrive earlier tomorrow, but Manaka reveals this may be her last day selling bentos. She admits she thinks she made her restaurant even more obscure, and if she is not helping it, she sees no point in cooking.

Seeing Sana smile gives Manaka new motivation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Manakass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After contracts of: Kako, Manaka&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A documentary crew follows Ria Ami, whose natural beauty causes crowds to part, though she admits she has no basis for comparison when asked about her challenges. Manaka stops her on the way to school, concerned about her pale appearance, prompting Ria to flash back to her contract with Kyubey where she wished to become a natural beauty—a wish that rewrote her past so she had always been beautiful since birth. When Manaka suggests rescheduling their food tasting, Ria&#039;s stomach growls and she agrees to go. At Walnuts, Manaka corrects Ria&#039;s memory of their first meeting, reminding her that Ria was actually collapsing from hunger after a dangerous fad diet when Manaka rescued her. Manaka tests a new menu item and declares she will become the best chef in the world. Outside, a mob of followers has amassed, and a magazine editor pushes through to offer Ria a feature in Vanity Fine, which she handles by pretending to be swamped.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a witch fight, Ria prepares to deliver the final blow, but Tsuruno jumps in and finishes the witch first, leaving Ria upset that her spotlight was stolen. Manaka offers her extra rice omelet to help her cool down.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Ria joins Manaka, Konomi Haruna, and Kako Natsume for a witch hunt, with Kako praising her beauty. During the fight, Ria&#039;s special attack proves weak, and Yachiyo Nanami appears to land a staggering blow. Ria recognizes her as the model she grew up admiring. When Yachiyo finishes the witch and leaves without acknowledgment, Ria becomes so upset that she accidentally transmits her angry thoughts to everyone via telepathy.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Ria walks to school imagining her documentary continues, but Manaka interrupts to ask for help investigating a witch that appeared at her restaurant without triggering her Soul Gem. Ria agrees after Manaka bribes her with extra rice omelet. They search with no results until they enter a witch&#039;s labyrinth. As they fight, Yachiyo appears again. Ria makes it a contest for the spotlight, attacking with cheesy one-liners, but the witch survives and Yachiyo delivers the killing blow. Outside, Ria fumes that Yachiyo stole the spotlight once more. Manaka suggests she should be thanking her instead. Ria formally declares Yachiyo her rival, leaving Yachiyo confused.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ria asks Manaka to be her bodyguard while buying the magazine featuring her article, wearing sunglasses to avoid being seen. Inside, she discovers her article occupies only one page, while Yachiyo has an eight-page spread. Furious and convinced Yachiyo did it on purpose, Ria tears the magazine in half, and the clerk charges her for it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;riass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ria Ami#Side Story|Ria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Despite Hazuki&#039;s warnings, Ayame tries Konoha&#039;s cooking. Later, Hazuki returns to find Ayame sick; Konoha learns Ayame was too polite to refuse the food. Hazuki offers to handle meals from now on, which prompts Konoha to resolve that she will learn to make delicious food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konoha Shizumi#Side Story|Konoha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha buys cookware and studies cooking theory, suspecting Hazuki might be a cooking prodigy. She makes a disastrous meal incorporating everything she read, and Hazuki collapses after tasting it. Ayame brings home a flyer for a cooking class at &amp;quot;Youshoku Walnuts,&amp;quot; noting that the food there made Hazuki cry. Ayame encourages Konoha, and Konoha resolves to take the class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Konoha meets the teacher, Manaka Kurumi, at the restaurant. Manaka attempts to teach knife skills and how to crack eggs, but Konoha struggles with both. Manaka promises to help her improve. She has Konoha make practice dishes, but Konoha burns oil, over-dashes rice, and explodes miso soup, so Manaka has to take over each time. When finished, Manaka tastes it, insists it&#039;s good to protect her reputation, eats it all, and passes out. Konoha tries the leftovers and confirms it is truly terrible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Konoha hunts a witch with her team while distracted by thoughts about cooking. After they defeat it, Himika Mao arrives late, introduces herself, and asks if they are sisters; Hazuki explains they are not. Himika mentions she is thirteen with five younger siblings. When Ayame asks about being an older sister, Himika invites her to meet her family. Konoha asks to come as Ayame&#039;s guardian upon learning Himika cooks for her family, and Himika accepts. Hazuki says she will prepare dinner at home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, at Himika&#039;s house, Konoha and Ayame observe the cramped living space. Himika explains she uses cheap leftover meat blends from a disposal man to feed her family. She serves dinner, and all her siblings along with Ayame eat. When Konoha asks if the food is tasty, the siblings say they never think it&#039;s bad because Himika does her best. Konoha reflects on Azalea&#039;s House and realizes she was too focused on theory rather than on who she was cooking for. She thanks Himika and leaves with Ayame.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a later day, Ayame and Hazuki find Konoha cooking again. Konoha promises to give up if she fails this time. Focusing on her feelings rather than theory, she makes a meal from Azalea&#039;s. Hazuki and Ayame try it and say it&#039;s bad, but it&#039;s edible. Konoha is excited that someone could actually eat her food.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ayame returns home to find Konoha cooking again. Hazuki observes that Konoha has found joy in the act of cooking. Konoha narrates that she learned cooking is about heart, and could now make food people could finish. She thinks cooking is fun, though Ayame and Hazuki sometimes scream loud enough to startle the neighbors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Konoha attempts beef stroganoff, a dish Hazuki admits is difficult. Hazuki and Ayame try it and collapse. Konoha says she will redo it. She narrates that experience matters, and wonders what to try next.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;konohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hazuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame meet with Nanaka, Meiyui, Akira, and Kako at a restaurant to discuss how to handle situations where both teams target the same Witch. Meiyui proposes a first-come, first-served rule, but Hazuki points out it would lead to disputes over who arrived first. Ayame suggests settling conflicts with rock-paper-scissors, and though Meiyui argues there&#039;s no time for games in battle, Hazuki has them try it on the spot. When Ayame and Meiyui play, Meiyui uses a martial arts technique to change Ayame&#039;s hand, causing an argument between the groups. Hazuki calms everyone down and suggests they go home for the day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hazuki Yusa#Side Story|Hazuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the girls reconvene at the restaurant. Hazuki proposes a new rule: anyone who uses magic against a Witch gains proportional rights to the Grief Seed. Both teams agree, and Hazuki suggests they gather data by hunting together. They split into mixed teams—Ayame and Kako form one; Hazuki, Akira, and Meiyui another and Konoha and Nanaka stand by to help as needed. After the successful joint hunt, Nanaka meets with Hazuki alone at the restaurant. She reveals she believes Hazuki manipulated the entire situation from the first meeting, noting that her team was impressed with Hazuki&#039;s group&#039;s teamwork but that she herself was more struck by Hazuki&#039;s modus operandi. Nanaka asks why Hazuki orchestrated everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hazuki admits she wanted Konoha, who is introverted, to connect with others and that after the Witch fight, Konoha seemed genuinely happy. She explains her goal was simply to build connections between her group and other Kamihama Magical Girls. Nanaka accepts this and says she&#039;s glad to work with her. Later, Hazuki writes in her notebook that Nanaka is shrewd but fascinating, and she resolves to continue reaching out to other Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hazukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ayame&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ayame encounters Felicia during a Witch fight, and their rivalry quickly escalates when Felicia dismisses Ayame&#039;s challenge to lead the girls to argue and accidentally let the Witch escape. Frustrated by losing to Felicia specifically, Ayame confronts her afterward, and despite Kako&#039;s attempts to mediate, the two insist on settling things through some competition. Kako devises five games to determine the winner: arm wrestling ends in a draw when the table breaks; bug catching descends into chaos when Felicia shakes caterpillars onto Kako, mixing their catches; an art contest of drawing Kako results in both portraits being equally bizarre; and an intelligence test leaves both unable to answer basic questions. The fifth game, a speed climb, is interrupted when they enter a Witch&#039;s Barrier. Felicia charges ahead alone, but Ayame convinces her they need to team up, and together they destroy the Witch. Emerging back in the park, Felicia thanks Ayame, and they realize the race was never finished. They resume, but Ayame admits she&#039;s fine with not winning and she has come to accept Felicia as a strong rival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ayamess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ayame Mikuri#Side Story|Ayame&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Masara&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro gives Masara cookies simply because she wants to, leaving Masara confused by the gesture. Masara flashes back to their first meeting, when Kokoro had blamed herself for being unable to protect others and Masara told her she should not carry that guilt. Kokoro had asked to stay by Masara&#039;s side, explaining that those words had saved her. In the present, Kokoro asks what Masara is thinking about, and when Masara admits she was remembering their first meeting, Kokoro smiles. Masara does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Masara Kagami#Side Story|Masara&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara visits Mitama for magical strengthening, bringing many Grief Seeds with her. Mitama notes her unusual enthusiasm, and Masara explains she wants to get stronger in order to find something that might change her life. Mitama suggests she try attending a summer festival and hands her a flyer, but Masara shows no interest. When Mitama brings up Kokoro, mentioning that Kokoro has talked about her, Masara insists they are merely working together, not friends, and finds Kokoro&#039;s expectations troublesome. Mitama claims Masara is actually worried about Kokoro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Masara reflects on her childhood, remembering how her parents had her swim from a young age. Despite showing talent, she never felt any joy or sense of accomplishment, though she continued hoping it might eventually change. It never did. She became a magical girl thinking her dull life might finally become interesting, but even that eventually grew boring.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey observes that Masara fights as if she does not care whether she lives or dies, and Masara agrees. Kyubey notes she is talented but takes unnecessary risks. Masara remarks that Kyubey sounds like Kokoro, who worries about her similarly. She wonders why Kokoro would care, since if Masara disappeared, Kokoro would lose nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro and Masara fight a Witch together. Masara tells Kokoro to fall back, but Kokoro insists she cannot fight alone and attacks instead. The Witch targets Kokoro, and Masara injures herself by blocking the attack. The Witch escapes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro apologizes, but Masara claims she only did what was most logical, since the Witch could not have been defeated alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, Masara keeps flashing back to the moment the Witch attacked Kokoro whenever she looks at her injury. The recurring memory bothers her, though she does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Kokoro offers to hunt the Witch again with Masara. Masara flashes back to the previous fight and insists she will hunt it alone. She tells Kokoro she is a burden and that she does not like getting hurt. Masara leaves Kokoro crying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Masara tells Mitama what happened. Mitama suggests Masara was actually trying to protect Kokoro. Masara is at a loss and wonders why being around Kokoro causes her to get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kokoro blames herself for causing Masara trouble. She senses the same Witch and, respecting Masara&#039;s wish to hunt alone, decides to fight it by herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara later arrives at the scene and is surprised to find Kokoro already there. When she asks why Kokoro is fighting alone, Kokoro explains she did not want to be a burden. Masara initially assumes Kokoro is protecting her pride, but Kokoro clarifies she simply does not want to see Masara get hurt again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Masara admits she does not like it either, realizing she does not want to see Kokoro get hurt. She defeats the Witch. Kokoro acknowledges she would have been finished without Masara&#039;s help. Masara agrees and tells Kokoro to call her next time. When Kokoro worries about causing trouble, Masara insists she is doing it for herself, because she does not like seeing Kokoro get hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kokoro asks if she can call Masara during lunch. Masara says she does not care either way. The two go to Mitama&#039;s place together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kokoro notices the summer festival flyer and asks if Masara is interested. Masara admits she is a little interested. Mitama laughs and says they can look forward to the future when there is something or someone important. Kokoro and Masara are confused by her comment, which exasperates Mitama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks to herself that Masara will become stronger now that she has something to protect. For the first time, Masara finds herself thinking about the future, though she does not know why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;masarass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Konomi&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi welcomes Kaede and Kako to the flower shop where she works part-time. She began working at Blossom because the florist once comforted her as a crying child with a single flower, and now Konomi does the same for other children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Konomi Haruna#Side Story|Konomi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a customer leaves, Kaede and Kako help the florist carry supplies. The florist recently returned from the hospital, having survived a serious illness. Konomi remembers the day she found an ambulance outside and learned the shop might close. Desperate to help, she wished to Kyubey to cure the florist&#039;s illness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls notice customers bearing a Witch&#039;s Kiss, track down the Witch, and destroy it together. Konomi reflects that she can be a Magical Girl because of Kaede and Kako, her dearest companions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to find a long line waiting. Ever since Konomi&#039;s wish, the shop has drawn many young customers. Grateful, Konomi thinks back to when the girls first entered.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;!--The Flashback: Their First Meeting--&amp;gt;Kaede and Kako visit the shop for the first time. Kako searches for a specific flower, which Konomi identifies. During tea break, Kako explains she read about the flowers in a novel and wants to buy some for a friend&#039;s birthday. Kaede admits she has never given flowers but receiving them once felt wonderful. Konomi smiles and says she has an idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of the flower giveaway, Konomi, Kaede, and Kako take to the streets, suddenly appearing to hand bouquets to strangers before disappearing. A lottery winner, a despairing old man, and a boy who just got a girl&#039;s number all receive flowers. Later, the girls reunite. Kaede gave to ten people, Kako to thirteen. Konomi apologizes, but they agree to try again the day after tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, before their next giveaway, a girl asks Konomi about the Bursting Flower Girl, a rumored figure who appears on Tuesdays and Thursdays to hand out flowers that supposedly sprout mouths. Konomi, Kaede, and Kako realize they are the rumor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi panics, fearing they have made people hate flowers. They notice a little girl crying because her mother refused to buy her a toy ring. Konomi offers a flower, but the girl wants a ring. Kako fashions the flower into a ring, and the girl calls it pretty.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi realizes they have been giving flowers without understanding what recipients truly want. She decides to create something more meaningful. Inspired by Kaede&#039;s mention of birthday flowers and Kako&#039;s knowledge of flower language, they plan an arrangement that speaks to people&#039;s hearts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi and the girls create a birthday cake made of fifty flowers, with chocolate and candy inside. The cake incorporates birth flowers so greetings can be communicated through their language. They prepare a fair at the shop to showcase it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi shows the cake to the florist, who gives a muted reaction and announces her retirement, planning to leave Konomi the shop. Before Konomi can protest, Kaede and Kako notice the florist bears a Witch&#039;s Kiss. The three girls reveal they are Magical Girls, track down the Witch, and destroy it together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Konomiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Rika&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
After contracts of: Hinano, Emiri, Ria, Manaka, Akira&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Rika is invited to a blind date by Emiri Kisaki, who brings along Hinano Miyako, a girl recently heartbroken. When the boys on the date mock Hinano&#039;s youthful appearance and odd way of speaking, Rika surprises her by defending them. Afterward, Rika admits she too carries a broken heart, and Hinano realizes Emiri shared this secret without permission, yelling at her. Emiri and Rika quickly reassure Hinano, with Rika adding that Hinano is actually cool for having been able to confess her feelings—unlike Rika, who never confessed at all and watched her crush end up with someone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri then suggests Rika should make a wish, revealing that she and Hinano are magical girls who each received one wish in exchange for fighting monsters. Rika wonders if this is some kind of game. Hinano warns her against becoming a magical girl but, when pressed, advises that if Rika does wish for something, it should be for something seemingly impossible—and she must carefully consider the price.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day after Rika leaves, Kyubey appears and offers her a contract. Thinking back on what Hinano and Emiri told her, and flashing to the memory of her crush dating someone else, Rika mentally apologizes to Hinano and elects to become a magical girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Rika muses that her wish was granted and she is now dating her crush, yet she feels deeply unhappy. When Kyubey asks what is wrong, she admits that every time the person she loves smiles at her, her chest tightens with unease.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Rika fights a Witch and encounters two other magical girls, Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi. Ria thinks Rika has gone berserk and calls her fighting style dangerous and inelegant, though Manaka points out Ria was not exactly elegant herself. Rika compares them to a comedy duo and explains she fights Witches simply as stress relief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, during another Witch fight, Kyubey contacts Rika to warn her she is fighting dangerously. Annoyed, Rika is surprised to spot Hinano inside the barrier. After the battle, Hinano is shocked to find Rika has become a magical girl and immediately warns her about her reckless fighting style. Rika again explains it is stress relief. When Hinano asks why she is unhappy, Rika confesses that while she wished for her love to be fulfilled, she fears it is all fake—as if her crush only likes her through magical compulsion. Hinano asks why she became a magical girl at all, and Rika explains that without a wish, she would never have had a chance. Pressed further, Rika reveals the person she likes is a girl. She asks if this is gross or weird, but Hinano simply says it is not. Rika wonders why it was so easy to tell Hinano this truth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later still, Rika and Hinano fight together against a Witch. Hinano again warns about Rika&#039;s dangerous fighting, and Rika says she plans to stop after this, revealing she has already broken up with her crush. When Hinano asks if it was because the love felt fake, Rika confirms that was part of it. She explains she loved her childhood friend for four years but remained just a friend. When she saw her friend with a new boyfriend, Rika realized she could never give her friend what the boyfriend did. She then admits the full weight of her wish: it caused the girl she liked and her boyfriend to completely forget each other, as if they had never met. Rika explains the boyfriend once helped her find a lost ticket, and she realized they were perfect for each other. Breaking up with her girlfriend was her way of setting things right. Hinano is impressed by her willpower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika says there is one more thing to do. She brings Hinano to her school, and together they plant the notebook of Rika&#039;s ex-girlfriend in the ex-boyfriend&#039;s bag, and his notebook in hers. They watch from a distance as the two meet again, and Rika declares everything is great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika Ayano#Side Story|Rika&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Rika tells Hinano that the girl and boy were like a fairy tale prince and princess, destined to be together. She decides she is like their Cupid. Surprised to see Hinano crying, Rika is unaware she is crying herself. Rika asks Hinano to laugh, but Hinano says no one could laugh at this. Finally, Rika tells Hinano she loves her, then quickly clarifies it is not that way—Hinano is not her type. Rika starts laughing, Hinano stops crying, and the two affirm their friendship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;rikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One day, Mayu is a third-year student at Mizuna Academy who works part-time at the Kamihama Contemporary Art Museum. When she accidentally breaks the museum director&#039;s cup, her boss handles the situation calmly and kindly. After work, she meets her friend Sayuki Fumino outside the museum, and when Sayuki cannot stay, Mayu&#039;s boss offers to accompany her to an exhibit instead. They later go to a cafe, where Ria Ami and Manaka Kurumi are also present. Ria grows increasingly annoyed overhearing Mayu&#039;s conversation with her boss, particularly when he hints at wanting to take her somewhere else and praises her cooking. At home that evening, Mayu cooks for her mother and asks if her father would have eaten her cooking, wondering what life would be like if he were still alive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mayu Kozue#Side Story|Mayu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at school, Mayu talks with Sayuki about the sword exhibit. She then heads to work, and after her shift ends, her boss mentions his wife and child are away and invites her out to eat. Mayu declines. As she leaves, she forgets her phone, and her boss rushes to return it, asking again about dinner with growing intensity. Ria suddenly appears and bumps into him, yelling at them for flirting and demanding they sit for a lecture. Mayu&#039;s boss says she ruined it and leaves. Ria warns Mayu that her sweet, innocent air attracts older men and that if things continue, his family will fall apart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home that night, Mayu reflects on the day she learned of her father&#039;s death and on Ria&#039;s words. Kyubey appears and offers a contract. Thinking she does not want her boss&#039;s family to suffer the same hardship her family did, Mayu makes her wish: to stop his family from breaking apart. That night, she narrates that her boss transferred to a new job, and she is sure her wish was granted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later at school, Mayu finds boys have started hitting on her. Ria constantly steps in to drive them off. Before Ria can finish telling Mayu to shape up, they both sense a Witch. The girls reveal they are Magical Girls, and they track the Witch to the museum&#039;s special exhibit room. Sayuki suddenly appears and reveals she is also a Magical Girl. During the fight, Mayu notices the Witch only targets Ria. She asks Sayuki to lend her strength and launches a surprise attack, destroying the Witch. Afterward, Mayu thinks that to protect people she must think clearly before acting, and Ria admits Mayu was more reliable than usual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mayuss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayuki&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As a child, Sayuki attends an idol performance with her parents, but when the crowd becomes dangerously wild, she is almost squeezed to death, leaving her with lasting trauma.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayuki Fumino#Side Story|Sayuki&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Growing up in a happy family, Sayuki develops a deep interest in katanas that creates a gap between her and her classmates. Though they respect her passion, she feels lonely without someone to share it with. This loneliness grows during a visit to the art museum when she sees pairs of people viewing the displays together, and intensifies when she misses the chance to speak with a schoolgirl who also seems interested in the exhibits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey seizes this opportunity, spending the morning calming her and explaining until sunset that contracting with him grants one wish in exchange for fighting witches. Sayuki hesitates due to her lack of athleticism, but Kyubey convinces her that magic will boost her abilities. With nothing specific to wish for, she asks for suggestions. When Kyubey mentions wishing to improve one&#039;s situation, it strikes a chord. Sayuki wishes for a friend to share her joy, and the contract is sealed. Despite regular trips to the museum, she never encounters the interested girl again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, a woman in a suit approaches Sayuki and asks if she is interested in becoming an idol. The question triggers her childhood trauma, and she pleads for anything but that. The agent calms her and explains she frequently saw Sayuki at the museum&#039;s katana corner and believed she was perfect for promoting Mizuna&#039;s weapon-related history as a local idol. They had even arranged an interview with a famed local swordsmith, which immediately catches Sayuki&#039;s attention. Her mother loves the idea, convincing her that earning her own money to commission a personal katana would be wonderful. Sayuki accepts but privately wonders why her wish for a friend led her to becoming an idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayuki proves clumsy and slow at learning, struggling with lessons while her trauma saps her motivation. She wants to quit but lacks the courage. After a successful music video, her manager announces her first concert. Flashbacks freeze Sayuki with terror, but her trust in her manager outweighs her fears, and she accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of her first concert, the assembled crowd triggers her childhood fright. However, the warm and welcoming audience, with Rena at the front being the loudest supporter, allows Sayuki to relax. She delivers a stunning performance, winning everyone present with her in-depth explanations of katanas. After the concert, she thanks her manager, realizing that while this was not what she expected, her wish to share her love for katanas was indeed granted. Her fame and confidence grow steadily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually, Sayuki amasses enough fame to hold a concert in a large stadium. When she takes the stage, the overexcited crowd explodes, security stands are pushed down, and the audience squeezes together. The scene awakens her childhood trauma, and Sayuki breaks down in tears, forcing the concert to halt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Overcome with guilt, she considers quitting. Instead of reprimanding her, her manager gives her tickets to the art museum and tells her to rest. There, she encounters the girl from before. This time, their eyes meet and the girl speaks first, introducing herself as Mayu Kozue. Mayu explains she is interested in katanas as part of her work as a guide and art restorer. Sayuki eagerly teaches her about katana models, and despite her nervousness, finds the courage to befriend Mayu, who seems equally flustered about something.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emboldened, Sayuki asks her manager to post an announcement. Before her next concert, she pleads with the crowd not to push toward the stage, explaining it threatens their safety. The audience applauds warmly, touched by her concern, and they keep their promise throughout the concert. Afterward, Mayu thanks Sayuki for inviting her to her first concert. Sayuki believes speaking out is important no matter the outcome and swears to protect the kind people who have been kind to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayukiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moka&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Moka&#039;s classmates tease her about caring more for sweets than romance and jokingly remind her of &amp;quot;Article 3&amp;quot; regarding her skin. That afternoon, she returns tools to the art club, where Karin Misono mistakes her for Alina Gray and tearfully mentions that Alina is sick, leaving Moka to later learn from classmates that Karin is likely upset about Alina&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Moka Megumi#Side Story|Moka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Leaving school, Moka encounters an old man trying to scam her, but Meiyui Chun intervenes and drives him off. Meiyui warns Moka about her trusting nature and offers to escort her home, but Moka insists she has an important mission. Meiyui follows her anyway as Moka visits multiple food stalls struggling to eat unusual dishes, and after a man steals Moka&#039;s phone, Hinano Miyako retrieves it while Meiyui subdues the thief. Hinano and Meiyui recognize each other from the Walpurgis fight and decide to watch over Moka together, soon joined by Ryo Midori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When a second scammer targets Moka, Hinano confronts him, but he mistakes her for an elementary school student, and his insult drives him off. The trio then senses a witch and watches Moka enter its barrier, following to discover she fights with her eyes closed. Moka explains she freezes when she sees frightening things, so she fights blind to avoid paralysis. Though the others insist on protecting her, Moka becomes sad, recalling how someone once called her a nuisance. When Meiyui gets in trouble during the fight, Moka declares she will not let anyone die again, opens her eyes, and defeats the witch alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Ryo asks why Moka became a magical girl. Moka admits she wished for a limited edition candy, which she confirms was delicious, much to Ryo and Meiyui&#039;s disbelief. Hinano asks how she survived alone, and Moka reveals she has had help from other magical girls, including one who saved her but called her a nuisance. That girl disappeared during the Kamihama disaster, and Moka has been training since to prove herself. Pressed for details, Moka reveals the girl was Alina Gray, recounting how shortly after becoming a magical girl, she entered a witch&#039;s barrier and Alina killed it for her collection, ignoring Moka&#039;s thanks and dismissing her as a nuisance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Meiyui, Hinano, and Ryo recognize Alina as one of the causes of Kamihama&#039;s destruction but choose not to tell Moka. Moka thanks Alina for saving her and says she has now made new friends, resolving to devote herself to exterminating witches and admitting she is only a little afraid of them now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mokass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Riko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Sis = Miss K. Check what Exedra says&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Years ago, Riko spent her childhood with a cheerful older neighbor girl she called &amp;quot;Sis&amp;quot; while her parents worked long hours at their family bento shop. They grew as close as sisters until Sis became engaged to marry someone far away. When Sis&#039;s father suddenly opposed the match despite approving it before, Riko wished upon Kyubey that everyone would give their blessings to the marriage. Her wish worked, and Sis moved away happily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Riko Chiaki#Side Story|Riko&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Riko struggles with loneliness waiting alone at home while her parents work overtime. One night, after they call to say they cannot return until after midnight due to a huge order, years of broken promises finally overwhelm her. She snaps, calls them liars who were never there for her like Sis was, and tells them she hates them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko goes Witch hunting to vent her stress but nearly dies against a stronger Witch. In that moment, despair crushes her and she wishes she had never made her wish so Sis would still be there. Tsukasa, a regular at her family&#039;s shop, finds her crying and listens as Riko confides everything about her feelings and what happened with Sis. Speaking from experience, Tsukasa tells her that separation is no excuse for broken contact and recommends she reach out to Sis directly. Riko messages Sis that night before falling asleep exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sis replies promptly. She explains she wanted to contact Riko but left home after arguing with her father and thought a visit would be awkward. She also reveals she was hospitalized to give birth and only discharged that day, inviting Riko to come see her instead. When Riko asks her parents for permission, expecting them to refuse, they apologize sincerely and grant permission for the trip.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Riko visits Sis with her parents. Sis introduces her husband and newborn daughter, hoping Riko will get along with her child just as they once got along. Riko makes a silent promise to be a good sister to this baby and aims to grow into a fine lady, just like Sis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Rikoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maria&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Maria bids her parents goodbye for the day. Her mother gives her money for dinner, which Maria insists on keeping only a small portion of, and Maria mentions she will be at her part‑time daycare job after school. On her way to school, she runs into two little girls, one of whom attends the daycare where she works.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the daycare, the children swarm Maria with requests. She notices a boy named Shin‑kun looking down and tries to find out what is wrong, but he does not want to talk. Maria recalls the moment she made her contract: a car was about to hit a child, and without hesitation she wished for Kyubey to save that child. She still wishes she could do more to help. When Shin brightens at his mother’s arrival, Maria pulls the woman aside and gently explains how lonely Shin appears. Shin’s mother admits she has been pretending not to notice because of work. Maria suggests she spend a day with Shin to reconnect, and Shin’s mother agrees. Maria promises to put together a plan by the weekend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Maria’s classmates tease her about being a widow with a love child, and she plays along before explaining she is helping a mother and son from the daycare. Later she presents her weekend plans to Shin’s mother, who is impressed and begins looking forward to the outing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, Maria goes to the park where she knows Shin and his mother should be. She watches as they struggle to connect: Shin wants to play in a fountain, but his mother cannot explain why he should not, and they end up standing awkwardly. Maria pretends to run into them and decides to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to the playground, where Maria encourages Shin to try a tightrope bridge. When he gets nervous, she prompts his mother to take his hand, and together they cross. After lunch, Shin’s mother gets a call from work asking her to come in on her day off. She agrees, and Shin looks heartbroken. Maria offers to watch Shin until dark, and his mother gratefully accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria takes Shin to various places, and he sadly remarks that his mother is too busy for him. Understanding his loneliness, Maria vows to make the day special. At the aquarium she convinces him to see a show he ends up loving. As evening falls, they stop for takoyaki, and Maria explains that his mother tells him not to eat while walking for good reasons. Shin finally understands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shin’s mother appears, explaining work no longer needs her. She admits she has trouble expressing herself, but Shin overhears and hugs her. They both confess they thought the other did not love them. Maria shares that she was often lonely as a child but still loved her parents, and she tells Shin’s mother she does not need to be perfect. Shin shows his mother the souvenir and the last piece of takoyaki he saved for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As darkness falls, Maria walks home alone. She reflects on whether she could ever be a good mother, remembering Kyubey’s revelation that her Soul Gem is her actual soul and her body is merely a vessel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mariass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Maria Yuki#Side Story|Maria&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mel&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Mel stays home after her reading warns of lethal danger, but Kanagi dismisses her concerns and drags her to school anyway. On the way, a Witch targets only Mel before escaping, and a possessed car then attempts to run her down. She flees west into the Mizuno region, where Yachiyo saves her. Despite Kanagi&#039;s warnings about discrimination from the West, Yachiyo&#039;s kindness puts her at ease, and Mel accepts her invitation to stay. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she requests to join Yachiyo&#039;s team, and Kanagi gives permission. From that day, Mel bonds with Mifuyu, Tsuruno, and Momoko as part of her new team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One other day, Mel arrives excitedly with entirely positive readings and offers to read the team&#039;s fortunes. Despite Yachiyo&#039;s skepticism, Mel coaxes her into a session predicting a career breakthrough.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Yachiyo announces with disbelief that she was chosen for a nationwide magazine feature on Kamihama&#039;s cafes. Mifuyu and Momoko then receive positive readings about a matchmaking and exam results.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, both predictions come true when Mifuyu&#039;s matchmaking goes well and Momoko passes her exams. Tsuruno insists on a reading despite Mel&#039;s warnings of negative results, and Mel reluctantly predicts a stomachache.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following evening, Mel finds Tsuruno collapsed from overeating after avoiding food all day. The team realizes Banbanzai, her family restaurant, risks a food poisoning scandal and rushes there. Tsuruno notices Momoko accidentally drop a laxative into a bowl of ramen and eats it herself to protect a customer, spending the rest of the day on the toilet. Later, Mel explains she wished for one hundred percent accurate fortune-telling to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Yachiyo forbids fortune-telling, revealing Mel&#039;s magic twists events to make her readings come true rather than predicting the future. Mel accepts this and agrees to stop, but makes one final secret reading: she sees a star entering Yachiyo&#039;s life as the keystone among a circle of Magical Girls, and prays this star will light Yachiyo&#039;s path toward a warm future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Yachiyo smiles as her family follows fortune-telling on television, searching for a lucky item for Felicia. They realize she already has it: a hammer. Yachiyo wonders if Mel would agree this level of fortune-telling brings enough joy. The memory card shows Mel and Kanae, but only Mel is visible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Melss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mel Anna#Side Story|Mel&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mikura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, Mikura reads a local history article she wrote while Temari rereads a novel. Seira joins them with a progress report on the Kofun excavation, which prompts Mikura to remember how it all began.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura had always been curious about a small hill behind her school. When she learned it would be leveled for a road, she climbed it and found a hokora shrine. Her research at a bookstore suggested the hill might actually be a Kofun burial mound.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, she examined maps and aerial photos, growing more convinced the hill was a tomb. She found Edo‑period records of haniwa fragments nearby.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Another day, Temari noticed Mikura was skipping meals to research. Mikura explained her theory, and Temari encouraged her to keep investigating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikura presented her findings to a museum curator, who praised her work but doubted it would stop construction. Her history teacher suggested she seek a university professor’s backing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A university professor contacted her, impressed but pointing out two flaws in her argument. Walking home, Temari’s questions helped Mikura realize the hill may have once been keyhole‑shaped, with its rectangular part eroded away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Days later, Mikura returned to the professor with new evidence from an Edo‑period text about a flood that collapsed part of the hill. He agreed she was likely right, but said construction funds had already been approved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, Kyubey appeared and offered a contract. Mikura wished for the excavation to become a reality. Immediately after, she received word that a council member had helped secure funding for an excavation before construction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Seira notes the discovery made Mikura briefly famous. Mikura is simply glad the burial chamber was preserved intact, thanks to her wish. She shows the club photos of the immaculate murals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mikurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mikura Komachi#Side Story|Mikura&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seira&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day she makes her contract, Seira encounters Mikura and Temari, magical girls from her school who live in the same town. When Kyubey appears, Seira immediately agrees to contract, but the others insist she listen to the conditions first. Kyubey asks if her dream is to be a director. Instead, Seira wishes to always have enough funding to film her movies, surprising them both.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Historical Research Club, which is really just a gathering for the three of them, Seira watches a movie while Mikura and Temari observe her habit of talking to herself about camera work. When they ask why she hadn’t wished for a genius film sense, Seira promises to explain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She tells them how her father refuses to sign her career questionnaire because he thinks film directing is too unstable. To prove herself, she gathers classmates and makes a kaiju short film in ten days. Before she can show it, her father asks cruelly why she wants to make movies of everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, she finds kaiju figurines from her favorite director, Joey Yamada. Her mother reveals that Yamada is actually her uncle, who committed suicide after years of production troubles, and that her father had been his cameraman. When Seira goes to confront her father, she finds him watching her film and giving her technical corrections. He asks if she still wants to be a director knowing her uncle’s fate. She says yes, wanting to show others how great her uncle was. Her father finally agrees, asking only that she not repeat his brother’s tragic end.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikura and Temari understand her wish now: to secure the funding and luck she needs rather than talent alone. Seira is grateful to have met them, even if she still thinks Kyubey is a strange alien.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Seirass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Seira Mihono#Side Story|Seira&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Temari&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the library, Mikura asks Temari what she is reading, explaining she wants to know what literary mode Temari is in. Their conversation turns to their innate magical abilities; of their trio, only Seira has discovered hers. Temari recalls how the three contracted near Kamihama: Mikura first, driven by history; Seira next, dreaming of film directing; and finally Temari, who wished for her words to reach the hearts of those who needed them, even after her death. Later, Seira joins them for a Witch hunt, where Temari notices her weapons are inkbrushes. Afterward they visit Mitama, who suggests they train in Endless Mirrors if they plan to remain independent rather than join Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Temari and Mikura commute to school exhausted. Temari stayed up testing a new metal pen, and Mikura correctly guesses she is in modern literature mode.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After school that day, Seira brings up joining Magia Union, but Temari prefers to keep their team to themselves. They decide to train in Endless Mirrors instead. Inside, they struggle against organized Familiars until Temari makes a sudden, instinctive attack that breaks the enemy formation. Afterward, they realize their strengths complement one another: Mikura observes, Seira plans, and Temari adapts when things go wrong. They train late and leave exhausted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Temari is distracted thinking about Witch strategies while Mikura worries about Seira, who had fallen asleep in class from exhaustion. Seira joins them, and Temari suggests they create their own space to escape the stress of magical girl life. Seira proposes forming a school club where they can pursue their hobbies freely, and they agree.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Seira secures an empty classroom as a provisional club room under the name Historical Research Club. On paper they study history, but in reality it becomes their oasis for reading, watching films, and relaxing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the girls are enjoying their club activities, yet Temari still feels unsettled about not knowing her magic. Mikura reflects that they have been following Temari’s suggestions lately—staying independent, creating the club—but says she will mention it if she notices anything. When Mikura asks what Temari is reading, Temari replies she is still on the same author, and Mikura calls her as unpredictable as ever.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Temariss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Temari Kira#Side Story|Temari&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Hotori&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
Last part is after the tea drinking moon party&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hotori and her twin Rion prepare for a school camping trip. Hotori gets distracted watching her favorite sentai show, Dragoon Red, and Rion teases her for still liking children’s fantasy. Hotori wants to bring her notebook of heroic quotes, but Rion tells her not to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At school, Rion tries to stay with Hotori and gets scolded by the teacher. Hotori is relieved to have time away from her sister. Her classmates notice her notebook and encourage her to become who she wants to be.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At camp, Hotori’s group hikes through the forest. She is frightened by insects, and when Rion appears and drives her friends away, Hotori ends up scolded for letting her sister interfere. Reading quotes from her heroes, she manages to calm herself and finishes the hike feeling she has changed a little.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During archery, Hotori struggles to pull the bowstring but remembers Dragoon Red’s words about perseverance and manages to shoot. Rion performs better, but Hotori’s friends cheer her up. Rion later mentions the night’s test of courage, and though Hotori is scared, she refuses to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the test, Hotori freezes after a scare. Rion mocks her and escorts her to the finish line. There Hotori realizes she left her notebook behind; Rion goes back to retrieve it but does not return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hotori lies to the teachers and searches the forest. She finds Kyubey, who offers her a contract: any wish in exchange for becoming a magical girl who fights witches. When she finds Rion acting strangely, Kyubey explains Rion has a witch’s kiss. Rion enters a witch’s barrier, and Hotori follows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Terrified but thinking of Dragoon Red’s words, Hotori makes her wish: “I wish to be a hero strong enough to protect Rion.” She defeats the witch alone, saves Rion, and is relieved when her sister wakes up safe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Hotoriss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Hotori Yuzuki#Side Story|Hotori&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Months later, Hotori now fights witches with a team. During one battle she freezes and is saved by Rion and Yukika Nanase. Yukika asks about Hotori’s notebook, and Hotori explains she wants to be brave like the sentai heroes. Yukika privately knows the truth from another timeline: the twins’ memories were altered by Rion’s wish, and Hotori’s original wish may have been to become strong enough to protect Rion.

** Riko’s parents give Ashley croquettes as thanks. Watching Riko with her family makes Ashley homesick. She confides that her mother is an actress who often visited Japan, sparking Ashley’s love for kawaii culture. Her father opposed her studying abroad without explanation, so Ashley wished for his approval with Kyubey and became a magical girl. She feels guilty about it now. Riko suggests she make a vlog of her time in Kamihama to show her father how happy she is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ashleyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ashley Taylor#Side Story|Ashley&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The teddy bear falls over, and she takes it as a sign to honor his last words: to do what she loves most in the place she loves so much.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ashleyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ashley Taylor#Side Story|Ashley&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Ikumi explains how in middle school she dreamed of becoming an idol despite lacking talent, while her friend Yumi dreamed of volleyball. They realized they could fulfill each other&#039;s dreams instead. Yumi became a volleyball ace while Ikumi pursued idol training, though she struggled because her natural personality kept slipping through her cutesy act and she failed to gain recognition. Kyubey repeatedly offered her a contract, but she refused because wishing for her dream would mean she never achieved it through hard work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In high school, Ikumi worked at a school-organized maid cafe that gave struggling students performance opportunities. Though other girls were scouted for idol work and customers called her old-fashioned, she built a small fanbase. When the cafe was forced to close due to building eviction, Ikumi grieved alone on the final night. Kyubey appeared and reminded her that her wish didn&#039;t have to be for her own dream. Thinking of how much the cafe meant to her and others who dreamed there, she wished for it to continue running.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Her wish came true when the landowner, moved by the final performance, sold the cafe to the school who remodeled and reopened it. Later, while fighting a witch, Ikumi was saved by another magical girl who turned out to be Yumi. Yumi revealed she had wished for someone to recognize Ikumi&#039;s talents and give her an idol chance. The two teamed up and spent a happy year together hunting witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** One day they encountered a powerful witch who badly injured Yumi&#039;s leg, threatening her sports scholarship. In despair, Yumi unleashed her doppel. Ryo appeared and helped them escape, and Mitama later explained about doppels. Soon after, Mifuyu approached them with a healer who restored Yumi&#039;s leg. Mifuyu explained about witches and the Wings of Magius, who aimed to liberate magical girls from this fate. Ikumi immediately joined, grateful for Yumi&#039;s healing and hating the thought of losing her dream or becoming a witch. Yumi eventually joined too, and Mifuyu introduced them as Black Feathers to Ryo, who recognized Ikumi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Ikumiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the present, Ryo thanks Ikumi for her story and suggests she stop forcing the idol personality since she naturally slips out of it anyway.

** Akari explains that she has always loved Haruto, but he treats her only as a little sister. When Haruto entered high school, he stopped walking with her due to club activities. Akari heard a rumor that Haruto was dating his club manager. Distressed, she wished to Kyubey to become 16 years old like Mimiko-chan, the transforming heroine she admired.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Akari ran into Haruto while patrolling. Haruto was looking for the 16-year-old girl. Akari became jealous and badmouthed her 16-year-old self, calling her suspicious and a liar. Haruto got angry at Akari for speaking ill of someone she did not know. Akari ran away, feeling she was not worthy of him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Hotaru revealed she had been watching over Akari since the bunny hutch. She told Akari that her kindness was one of her good points. Akari realized the 16-year-old version Haruto fell for was still a part of her. Hotaru encouraged her to apologize properly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akari, still in her 16-year-old form, lied to Haruto that she had taken Akari under her protection. Haruto was relieved and admitted he was too harsh with Akari. He said he did not want her to become someone who speaks ill of others. Akari apologized to Haruto in person. Haruto forgave her and said he was proud of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Akari resolved to become a wonderful adult on her own, without magic, and capture Haruto&#039;s heart when she was truly 16. She thanked Hotaru for giving her the push to apologize but Hotaru fell asleep again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Akariss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ryoko&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryoko’s story begins at Suitoku Temple, the Tokime Tribe’s base, which was slated for demolition while officials hid the harm it would cause.

===Kush&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama’s adjuster shop, Karin Misono finds Kush sleeping inside the tent. Mitama explains that Kush cannot stay awake during the day due to her wish: “I just want the morning to never come.” Kush reveals she made her wish because she longed to live in a fantasy world like the one in her favorite book, &#039;Good‑Bye Fable,&#039; and her magical girl outfit resembles the story’s protagonist. Ui Tamaki and Little Kyubey arrive, and Kush briefly attacks Little Kyubey, mistaking him for the Kyubey she despises. Over tea, Mitama notices Kush’s long canine teeth stained red and later receives a message from her sister Mikage about a rumor of a vampire girl in the Hokuyo Mountains. Karin and Kush agree to investigate together, but Kush runs off to her night class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the weekend, the two meet up with Riko Chiaki and Ashley Taylor, who are making a horror video about the same rumor. The group searches the mountains at night. Kush can see in the dark and leads them, but she is still sleepy. They find a discarded camera containing a video of Rui Mizuki dropping it and disappearing. When a mysterious sound frightens the others, they accidentally leave Kush behind. Left alone, Kush eats cherry tomatoes and senses a witch. The others return, enter the barrier, and find Kush already defeating the witch, her teeth stained red again. Mitama realizes Kush herself is the “vampire girl” of the rumor—her pale skin, fangs, and tomato stains seen at night made people mistake her for one. They also learn that Rui is Kush’s friend; she had filmed Kush entering the barrier before being caught by it. The group later glimpses a white‑haired silhouette and flees, thinking a real vampire might exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kushss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kush Irina#Side Story|Kush&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley posts a video warning others to stay away from the mountains. At Mitama’s shop, Ui hears about the incident and learns the vampire was just a misunderstanding.

===Homura&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Homura Akemi in Magia Record#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura watches as Madoka makes her contract with Kyubey and becomes Ultimate Madoka. The universe begins rewriting itself according to Madoka&#039;s new rules. Madoka thanks Homura for protecting her and bids her goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Kyubey watch as colored orbs appear and fade away. Homura touches one and relives her first timeline—from meeting Madoka at school to Madoka sacrificing herself to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey asks what she saw, and Homura explains. She touches another orb and relives the day Madoka transformed into Kriemhild Gretchen. They conclude each orb is an event from a different parallel world. As each orb is absorbed and transformed into a world without Witches, it disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** A large orb engulfs them. Homura relives the timeline where she revealed the truth about Witches to the Holy Quintet. Sayaka and the others turned against her until Sayaka became a Witch. They defeated Oktavia, but Mami snapped and killed Kyoko before turning on Homura. Madoka killed Mami to protect Homura, leaving only the two of them to face Walpurgisnacht. Dying and near Witching out, Madoka used Sayaka&#039;s Grief Seed on Homura and asked her to go back in time to prevent her from contracting, and to kill her before she became a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura describes this as the defining moment of her life. After that, she took it upon herself to fulfill her promise to Madoka, but even after countless timeloops, she was too weak to defeat Walpurgisnacht alone. She thinks of Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko. Kyubey asks if she has regrets. Homura says no, because Madoka&#039;s wish changed their fates so their wishes would no longer end in regret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey notices an unstable orb coming toward them. Homura finds herself inside the Mirror Witch&#039;s labyrinth. A giant soul gem resembling her own approaches and absorbs her, forcing her to relive memories of a Homura she does not remember—the Homura of the Magia Record universe. She watches a braided Homura talk to Madoka about Kamihama. Mami warns them of the dangers and Rumors there. Braided Homura begs to investigate, and Mami eventually allows it. Homura watches as her other self helps Iroha against the Rumor of the Anonymous A.I. and battles Alina. She chides her other self for working with others instead of preparing for Walpurgisnacht.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey follows Homura into the realm. He deduces the two Homuras&#039; consciousnesses are resonating. Homura recalls the divergence point: the braided Homura never revealed the truth about Witches to the others, so she never experienced Mami killing Kyoko or Madoka&#039;s final request. Without those tragic events, she continued searching for a way to save Madoka by working with others, eventually entering Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyubey explains that small changes in each timeloop—a butterfly effect—created this irregular parallel world. Iroha kicking a pebble caused ripples that led to Kamihama&#039;s irregular situation. Kyubey is certain Madoka cannot interfere in this unstable world until it reaches its natural conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura is flooded with more memories of her other self preparing for Walpurgisnacht with allies. She wonders if there might be a real possibility for salvation in this timeline, where no one has to be sacrificed. However, she believes it has nothing to do with her. She breaks out of the labyrinth and the dream ends. Kyubey asks if she was curious about what happened to her other self. Homura says it does not matter; she believes in Madoka&#039;s words that her efforts will not be in vain. A new universe is about to be born, and Homura must protect it for Madoka&#039;s sake. Kyubey states they will both forget Madoka, but Homura is determined to never forget her.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the new universe where Witches do not exist, Kyoko is surprised to find Sayaka has disappeared. Mami explains the Law of Cycles causes Magical Girls to disappear when they lose hope. Homura cries as she remembers Madoka, but neither Mami nor Kyoko know who Madoka is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura and Madoka spend the day together in Kamihama, enjoying each other’s company until they encounter Ria Ami, a model and magical girl who has already defeated the witch they were tracking. Ria invites them to tea and later takes them to the fashion district, where she notices that Homura’s attention never leaves Madoka. Admitting her jealousy, Ria says she wishes someone would look at her the same way, and Homura replies that she will protect Madoka. After Ria departs, Homura thinks that even if Madoka does not realize how cool she is, she will still save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On another day, Homura steals weapons from a group called the Soukaihou using her time stop, but she is caught afterward by Meiyui Chun, a magical girl affiliated with the group. Instead of punishing her, Meiyui thanks her for taking weapons that belonged to troublemakers and invites Homura to share mapo tofu. Over the meal, Meiyui learns Homura fights to protect someone precious to her and says she understands, offering her support and suggesting the spicy dish whenever the burden becomes too painful to bear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Homura is practicing her shooting alone when Natsuki Utsuho, a magical girl who cheers for others, offers to encourage her. Natsuki deduces Homura’s time stop ability and gives advice that significantly improves her aim. When Natsuki suggests Homura ask Mami to coach her, Homura calls, and Mami arrives within an hour. Mami uses her ribbons to move within Homura’s time stop during a sparring match, praising her rapid progress afterward. Homura agrees to return to Mitakihara with Mami, reflecting that she will keep moving forward to become a magical girl capable of protecting Madoka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassGlasses&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Glasses)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Glasses Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After realizing Sayaka is not Hinano, Emiri offers to coordinate her wardrobe, claiming to be the &amp;quot;Cutest in the World.&amp;quot; Sayaka learns Emiri is also a magical girl but remains unsatisfied with the outfit suggestions, explaining the person she likes does not care about appearances. Emiri takes her to the top of a tower, where they view the city at night. Sayaka thanks her before heading to the train station, reflecting that her love is supported by the magical girls of Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

With time to spare, Kokoro invites her for tea. Sayaka shares that she became a magical girl to heal someone she loves, and Kokoro reveals she wished to bring her family together. Though problems remain, Kokoro believes she can unite them through her own power, and Sayaka finds strength in her words. When Kyosuke is about to arrive, Kokoro encourages her, and Sayaka runs to the station, feeling it will be a good day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Sayakass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ultimate&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Law of Cycles, Ultimate Madoka senses an abnormal thread of fate and follows it to a universe she cannot enter, with Kamihama City as the source of the anomaly. She sees Homura Akemi and her alternate self heading there, and notes that Kamihama entwines the fates of many magical girls, including Oriko, Kazumi, Suzune, and Tart. She also finds Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi, who were never supposed to become magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Panicking because she cannot prevent magical girls from becoming witches in this universe, Madoka investigates. She discovers the source blocking her intervention originated when the Holy Quintet first visited Kamihama, and she observes how Touka and Nemu—fated to die in every other universe—are alive and plotting with the Magius to lure Walpurgis Night to hatch Eve. Madoka reflects that their plan, if successful, would achieve what she herself accomplished. Unsure whether to intervene, she decides to investigate further and chooses Iroha as her next focal point, since this is the only universe where Iroha contracted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka observes Iroha’s past and finds the singular difference: on a normal day, Iroha took her usual shortcut but accidentally kicked a small pebble, nearly making her late. This tiny butterfly effect led to Iroha contracting and Ui, Nemu, and Touka surviving, derailing the universe’s fate. Madoka realizes Homura’s time loops and overlapping causality created this one-in-a-million chance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UltimateMadokass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record#Side Story|Ultimate Madoka&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She witnesses a spatial distortion connecting Mitakihara to Kamihama City and begins to suspect Kamihama might hold the key to changing the future. Oriko sends Kirika to Kamihama under the pretense of buying tea, instructing her to gather information from Mami and other magical girls there. She then takes Yuma to Kamihama herself, leaving her inside a witch barrier knowing Kyoko will come to rescue her. While exploring Kamihama for answers, Oriko nearly dies inside a powerful witch barrier and realizes she needs Kirika&#039;s help to continue.

* After Mitakihara City’s school closing ceremony, Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura walk out together. Sayaka is glad the term is over, Madoka is excited, and Homura admits she will feel lonely without seeing them every day. Sayaka ruffles her hair and says they can still meet over break, whether hunting witches or hanging out. Madoka suggests visiting Mizuna Shrine in Kamihama for New Year’s to draw “Ultimate Fortunes.” Sayaka has other plans but encourages them to go together. After she leaves, Madoka asks Homura if she knows how to put on formal wear. Homura does not, so Madoka invites her to a kimono‑dressing class she found, saying she wanted the two of them to dress up with Sayaka but lacked the courage to go alone. Homura agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class, the instructor dresses them first; Madoka thinks Homura looks beautiful, and Homura calls Madoka cute. When the actual lesson begins, Madoka struggles badly and trips, while Homura learns quickly enough that the instructor says she will have no trouble. Madoka takes a break outside, feeling useless. Sayaka happens by and asks why she wanted to dress up in the first place - to have fun. Sayaka tells her not to overthink; even if she makes mistakes, she will still have the memories. Encouraged, Madoka returns and finally manages to dress herself after another trip.&lt;br /&gt;

Tsukuyo forgot her phone and cannot remember the meeting spot. Madoka and Homura offer to find Tsukuyo. They find her, but Tsukasa has wandered off while waiting. The sisters fail to meet, and Homura and Madoka lose three turns. They eventually reach the Mizuna Shrine goal, but the game says they have not met the goal conditions and sends them back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Second Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; They are back at the beginning, wearing their kimonos. They see their past selves from the first loop. The same mission appears—reunite the twins. They meet Tsukasa again, who remembers them from before and is confused by their kimono change. Madoka tells Tsukasa where Tsukuyo is, but Tsukasa runs off before Madoka can explain she should wait. They try to find Tsukasa but fail. The mission fails again, and they are sent back to the start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Third Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes: buy a lucky bag costing one million Magica. They search for a store and take a break at a cafe. They see Ria being interviewed and overhear a boy named Hayato saying he needs a warmer scarf. They find Kokoro and Masara, who lead them to a stationery lucky bag. Kokoro mentions Tsukasa is still looking for Tsukuyo. Madoka wants to help Tsukasa, and Homura agrees. They find Tsukuyo, who has been wandering and dropped something important. They learn Tsukuyo dropped her exchange diary with Tsukasa—the same notebook Aimi found. The mission completes, but they are sent back to the start again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Loop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The mission changes again: help a child who lost something. They find Tsukuyo waiting. She dropped the exchange diary. Homura and Madoka take her to the Information Desk to reclaim it. Madoka remembers Tsukasa was last seen near a specific area. They wait there and finally reunite the twins. They also tell Aimi that Hayato wants a warm scarf. Everyone ends up happy. Homura and Madoka reach the goal without regrets. Homura reflects that she does not want the dream to last longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka learns the meaning of &amp;quot;When winter comes, spring isn&#039;t far behind&amp;quot; at the end of December. Just before New Year&#039;s Eve, Madoka asks if anyone has plans for the holiday. Sayaka has nothing planned, but then she receives a message from Kyousuke inviting her to their first shrine visit of the year. Mami suggests Sayaka wear a haregi for the occasion, but Sayaka insists it would be too much and that she does not want to get carried away. Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Kyoko says wearing a haregi does not seem like her style, which makes Sayaka end the conversation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Kimono)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Kimono Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At school the next day, Sayaka overhears some girls talking about how wearing a haregi is essential for a New Year&#039;s date. She is unable to stop thinking about it, and Madoka notices she is spacing out. Homura suggests Sayaka is still thinking about the haregi, and Madoka offers to go look at some with her. Sayaka agrees, but only out of curiosity. They find a crowded kimono shop and decide to leave, but on her way home, Sayaka discovers a smaller, empty kimono shop with a beautiful blue haregi that captivates her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Madoka and Homura notice Sayaka is still distracted. Sayaka tells them about the blue haregi, and Homura says it sounds perfect for her. Madoka mentions a rumor that the shopkeeper is very particular and has been known to refuse customers she deems unworthy. Sayaka thinks the shopkeeper was intimidating but not as harsh as the rumors suggest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka cannot stop thinking about the haregi. She tells her parents about it, and they easily agree to buy it for her, but she hesitates to actually go through with it. Kyoko finds her loitering outside the shop and makes fun of her, causing Sayaka to run away and hide in a bookstore. She looks through a magazine about haregi gestures and feels discouraged, thinking she could never pull it off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds her again and asks what is wrong. Sayaka admits she has decided to give up on the haregi because it does not suit her. At Mami&#039;s place, Madoka and Homura encourage her, but Sayaka remains doubtful. Kyoko reveals that the shopkeeper told her the store is closing down, and she urges Sayaka to go see the haregi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka rushes to the shop but finds the haregi is already put away. The shopkeeper explains she is closing because sales are slow, and she admits that she wanted to see people wearing her kimonos but could not express that because of her pride. Sayaka realizes she is making the same mistake. She confesses that she has not been able to stop thinking about the haregi and that she wants to wear it with her head held high. The shopkeeper agrees to sell it to her, saying she only sells to customers who truly want it from the bottom of their hearts. She tells Sayaka that the greater the struggle, the greater the happiness, and that she is sure to find happiness ahead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Sayaka wears the haregi for her friends. They all tell her how beautiful it looks on her. Sayaka regrets not being able to thank the shopkeeper properly, as the store was already closed when she returned. She never sees the shopkeeper again, but she remembers her words about winter and spring. Thanks to the haregi and the support of her friends, Sayaka feels brave and ready to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassKimono&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey approaches Kyoko at the arcade, asking her to test whether her doppel‑fused form will reappear if she transforms in Kamihama. Before she can respond, Nagisa arrives with an urgent problem: kindergarteners they once rescued recognized Nagisa at the park, and the teacher insists the children made it up. Nagisa has already started a cover story that they were filming an amateur movie and needs Kyoko’s help because Mami and the others are in school when the children visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko and Nagisa meet the teacher and children at the park. The kids immediately recognize Kyoko, so the pair double down on the movie lie. The teacher is charmed and asks to see the production, forcing the whole team to commit. The Holy Quintet decides it is safer for the children to believe magical girls are fiction. They enlist Ashley for costumes, Sayuki for sword props, and Seira for film equipment and instruction. Kyoko and Sayaka will act as dueling magical girls; Madoka handles lights, Homura cameras, and Mami directs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the performance, Kyoko and Sayaka use quick‑change costumes while Nagisa sneaks discarded clothes off set. The children are awed by the glowing weapons and effects, explained with lighting tricks and soap bubbles. After the class leaves, the group reviews the footage and decides to keep a copy. Kyoko volunteers to return the borrowed items to Kamihama the next day and ask Seira to edit the video.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko returns the props to Sayuki, then visits an aquarium to pass time. As she leaves, she spots the same kindergarteners, detects a witch, and rushes to fight it. She transforms into her usual magical girl outfit—not the doppel form—and defeats the witch. In her haste, she left her camera running outside; it captured her detransforming and her magic fading. The children find her and ask about the fire from her spear. Kyoko claims it was an optical illusion, but they are unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Kosho, Kyoko meets Ashley and Seira. Seira sends the finished movie footage to the Quintet and then discovers the incriminating clip of Kyoko exiting the labyrinth. Kyoko asks if they can edit out the flames; Ashley, who has film‑production experience, handles the task while Seira realizes Ashley is the daughter of a famous filmmaker. The edited clip is sent to Mami as further cover, though Ashley scolds Kyoko for deceiving children.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko later updates Kyubey. She explains that transforming in Kamihama did not trigger the doppel form, and Kyubey theorizes that the form requires a specific state of mind—a niche phenomenon that may never repeat but hints at new possibilities. Afterwards, Kyoko reflects to Sayaka on the nature of magic: the movie proved ordinary people can create similar effects, but magical girls must hunt witches. When Sayaka asks if she is feeling depressed, Kyoko insists she is just being philosophical, and the two slip back into their familiar banter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossDoppel&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Doppel Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She is hunting for discounted Valentine&#039;s chocolate. She visits Sugar Plum but finds the chocolate coins sold out. She runs into Kyoko. They keep encountering each other at multiple stores and realize they are both after the same Valentine&#039;s Day exclusive Pink Tapir chocolate coins. They form an alliance to share information and split the chocolate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe (Valentine)#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Valentine Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Pink Tapir station store, a clerk informs them the sale has moved to a new outlet location and gives them a map. On the way, a delivery truck carrying the chocolate coins is possessed by a Witch&#039;s Kiss and goes on a rampage. Nagisa and Kyoko chase it, jump onto the truck, and enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Nagisa uses her forbidden technique to defeat the Witch. The truck and other vehicles are unharmed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They arrive at the outlet store and buy the chocolate coins. Nagisa reflects on her memory of eating Pink Tapir chocolate coins for the first time at a hospital charity event when her mother was sick. She wonders if this universe&#039;s Nagisa would have had the same experience. She and Kyoko hurry to Mami&#039;s chocolate party. Kyoko reveals she bought a chocolate cake from Sugar Plum for everyone. Nagisa shares her pink chocolate coins. Mami is happy they are getting along. The next day, the chocolate hunt continues. At the outlet store, Ms. Saotome buys chocolate coins for a hospital charity event, continuing the tradition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassValentine&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Ria, Mayu, and Manaka give the sisters their rented beach space, and the sisters end up spending the day with Team Yachiyo in a water pistol shooting match. They have more fun than they expected, but Tsukuyo suffers a heat stroke and is cared for by the group after Tsukasa panics. When Tsukasa tries to repay the favor, Yachiyo jokes that she should quit the Wings of Magius, then smiles when Tsukasa refuses as expected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Their final opponents are Miyako, Kokoro, Masara, and Ren, with Ren proving surprisingly athletic. Miyako’s team wins after Yachiyo avoids stepping on a rare hermit crab, but everyone agrees Tsukasa has repaid her debt, and the sisters admit they had a wonderful time. They end the day drinking juice Yachiyo bought for them and buying matching crescent moon accessories in different colors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Amaness&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Amane Sisters&#039; Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kuroe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kuroe&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kuroe&#039;s school&#039;s closing ceremony, the teacher tells everyone to have a fun summer vacation. Kuroe does not understand what that means. She writes in her summer homework diary, unsure of what to write.&lt;br /&gt;
* Summer passes by quickly. Kuroe receives a text from her brother asking her to help at a beach house for his SUP class. She does not own a swimsuit, but she sees a flyer for Mitama&#039;s swimsuit coordination campaign and goes to Kamihama City.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kuroe explains she is looking for a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation&amp;quot; but does not understand what that means. Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano arrive and invite Kuroe to hang out with them. They go to the food court and talk about their ideal summers. Emiri gives Kuroe the nickname &amp;quot;Kuropi.&amp;quot; Kuroe feels overwhelmed and out of place. Ren notices Kuroe is uncomfortable and asks if she is okay.&lt;br /&gt;
** They go to a summer festival. It is crowded and noisy. Kuroe feels she does not belong. Rika buys takoyaki for her. Emiri invites her to play ring toss. Kuroe feels like a burden. At the end of the night, Rika asks if Kuroe hates noisy places. Kuroe admits she is not good with them. Hinano gives her a flyer for a joint event of themed cafes and suggests she might find people with shared interests there. Kuroe accepts, though she feels she is just avoiding being rude.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe goes to the event and finds the maid cafe overwhelming. She bumps into Ryo, a former Black Feather, who recognizes her. Ryo introduces her to Ikumi and Eternal Sakura. Karin and Kanagi also arrive. Karin passionately talks about Phantom Thief Magical Kirin and offers to lend Kuroe a copy. Kuroe agrees, but when Karin suggests they share book recommendations, Kuroe panics and leaves, afraid she will not like the book and disappoint them. She regrets not getting Karin&#039;s contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe goes to Shizuku&#039;s family cafe, which Ryo had recommended. She orders coffee and reads a book. Shizuku notices the book and they talk briefly. Shizuku seems easy to talk to. A loud girl named Ayaka arrives and drags Shizuku away to a comedy show. Shizuku smiles and goes with her. Kuroe is disappointed, realizing Shizuku is not &amp;quot;just like her&amp;quot; after all. She envies Shizuku for being able to take the hand that was offered. She feels disgusted with herself for wanting others to be as miserable as her. On the way home, she listens to music but hates the summer songs. She compares herself to a fox who decided the grapes were sour because she could not reach them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe receives another text about the beach house. She agrees to help, afraid of getting in trouble for changing her mind. She works at the beach house, feeling out of place among happy people. She thinks about how Iroha would handle things differently. She wishes someone would grab her hand and pull her forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last day of summer vacation, Kuroe is working at the beach house when she hears Iroha&#039;s voice. She looks up and sees Iroha. It was that encounter that changed the course of her summer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Looking back, the summer was not perfect. It was exhausting and full of anxiety. But it was the &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; she was looking for. She did things she never thought she would do. She was afraid of making mistakes, but she now thinks she should have been braver. She does not know if it is what everyone would call a &amp;quot;fun summer vacation,&amp;quot; but it is a summer she will never forget. She did not finish any of the books she wanted to read. But it was still a fun summer vacation. She wants to thank everyone who helped her. She wonders what next summer will be like. Even though she prefers winter, the summer beach is not so bad either.&lt;br /&gt;

** The group makes bamboo boats and floats them down the canal. Sana cuts her finger on a bamboo leaf. Yachiyo notices and helps her. Sana is touched by Yachiyo&#039;s kindness. Felicia says she feels warm on the inside.&lt;br /&gt;

They also show the edited home video featuring everyone&#039;s messages of gratitude. Yachiyo is moved to tears. She thanks them all, saying she is so happy they are always with her. She says this is the best present ever. Tsuruno turns the stars back on and they enjoy their very own Milky Way. Yachiyo says she never expected her tears would be those of joy.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kaede, Rena, and Momoko have picked out new swimsuits. Momoko could not buy one because she spent her allowance on a concert tour. They decide to go to the beach together. Kaede mentions that Mikazuki Villa is renting a lodge for a study camp. Rena asks Yachiyo if they can join. Yachiyo agrees. They arrive at the lodge. Yachiyo announces that everyone must complete ten pages of homework per subject per day before they can play.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rena &amp;amp; Kaede (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Rena &amp;amp; Kaede&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena negotiates with Yachiyo: if they can finish all three days&#039; worth of homework in one day, they can play at the beach tomorrow. Everyone agrees. They study hard together. Rena suggests a reward system to stay motivated. They shout encouragement like at an idol concert. Yachiyo and Momoko help with difficult problems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Rena, Kaede, and Momoko finally play at the beach. Mitama, Kanagi, and Mifuyu visit. Mitama has brought homemade rice balls as a reward. To decide who gets them, they hold a fishing contest. Rena and Kaede catch a pufferfish but come in second place. Kanagi wins first place and gets stuck with Mitama&#039;s cooking. Mifuyu is affected first. Rena and Kaede eat the remaining Mitama musubi and feel sick. They rest for the rest of the afternoon. Yachiyo goes shopping alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Rena and Kaede notice Yachiyo acting strange. They follow her and find her with fireworks. Yachiyo admits she bought them for everyone but felt too shy to ask. Rena and Kaede insist on setting them off together. They gather everyone. The group enjoys fireworks on the beach. Rena and Kaede stay up late playing with the leftovers. Momoko reflects on how much they have changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RenaKaedeSwimsuitss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They browse swimsuits, but Mitama insists on choosing thoughtfully rather than buying on a whim. They separate briefly, and Mitama runs into Mikage, deflecting questions about what she’s doing. Momoko later admits she also had to make excuses after running into Rena and Kaede. Instead of buying swimsuits, Mitama brings Momoko back for an adjustment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On contest day, Mitama and Momoko play on the beach. They learn the contest requires performing a shared beach memory with chemistry. They plan to tell the story of Mitama’s deserted island ordeal while Momoko adds her side of worrying. While playing, they fight a Witch together—the first time Mitama has teamed up with someone—then run straight into Rena, Kaede, and Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The three accuse them of sneaking off to the beach. Mikage is upset because Mitama once lied to keep her from swimming. Rena and Kaede are hurt Momoko excluded them. Momoko and Mitama confess the whole plan, and the trio admits they’d been stalking them. They enter the contest just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They win by performing the events of the day instead of their planned story. Rena claims the stuffed bunny, and Mikage gets the Candy World tickets, immediately inviting Mitama. Apologies are exchanged, and the others ask for no more secrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, while Mitama and Momoko clean up, Rena and Kaede take Mikage to get drinks. A girl from Mitama’s past confronts her: the one Mitama accidentally shoved down the stairs years ago. A crowd gathers, muttering rumors, but Momoko defends Mitama and the crowd disperses. The girl realizes it was an accident and offers to help clear Mitama’s name, but Mitama declines, saying she no longer needs it because she has someone who believes in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, Kaede, and Mikage return, unaware of what happened. They make plans to get watermelons from Kaede’s garden, leaving Mitama and Momoko alone. Over ice cream, Mitama teases Momoko until Momoko thanks her. Mitama reflects that Momoko will always be there to stop her when she’s wrong and help her make things right. She jokes about what else they can do together, and Momoko says she’ll go to many places with her—just not a deserted island.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MomokoMitamaMermaidss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama (Mermaid)#Side Story|Momoko &amp;amp; Mitama&#039;s Mermaid Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

While walking alone, Madoka meets a photographer who shares her own regret: as a child, she made a friend named Himari during one summer, but a petty argument kept them from meeting one last time; she later learned Himari had been ill and died. The photographer suggests Madoka and her friends join the resort’s Memory Photo Rally to see night‑blooming barringtonias.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

That evening, a storm cancels the flower tour, but the photographer invites them to meet the next morning.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, the photographer leads them to a hidden pond where barringtonia blossoms float. She reveals this was the special place she and Himari had planned to visit. Madoka recognizes Himari’s name and, with her friends’ help, finds the old woman from the beach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
** The old woman and the photographer meet; the photographer confesses her guilt over their childhood fight, but the woman explains Himari never mentioned any quarrel—her illness suddenly worsened that day. The two women reconcile, and both thank Madoka for bringing them together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final morning of the trip, the photographer gives Madoka a photo she took at the flower pond. Madoka reflects that the thing she could only do here was to reunite the two women and give them peace. Her friends call her for one last swim, and she runs off to join them, already thinking of returning to the island someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MadokassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Madoka&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story and Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story===&lt;br /&gt;
It has two versions I made, assimilate them if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Homura visits Kamihama to find clues for reaching a happy ending and meets Sayaka, who is in town to pick up an album for Kyosuke. Sayaka notices Homura seems down and brings her to the beach for the Kamihama Magical Girl Fishing Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the registration counter, Mitama announces that all participants must wear swimwear and offers to transform outfits for free. Homura appears genuinely excited, making Mitama feel slightly guilty. Sayaka runs into Kanoko, who persuades her into wearing a bizarre mushroom‑mermaid costume. Homura changes into her swimwear and meets Iroha and Sana, learning that many magical girls have gathered, including the Seika trio, Miyako and Emiri, Rena and Kaede, Meiyui, Himika, Konoha with her sisters, Manaka representing Walnuts, Tsuruno and Felicia representing Banbanzai, and Kokoro, Masara, and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura brings food to Sayaka, who is stuck in her costume. She admits she bought from both caterers out of pity for Banbanzai, though the food is too heavy for her hospital‑weakened stomach. They share the meal. After eating, Sayaka falls into a strange dream where Kyosuke leaves for Czech and Homura appears in the same mushroom‑mermaid suit, waking her in a scream. She finds Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** No one caught any fish because several magical girls fell into the water. Mitama declares Homura the qualifying winner for at least catching her glasses and pits her against former champion Yachiyo, who has been hypnotized by Mitama and is acting euphoric. In her daze, Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka’s costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The suit is not waterproof, and Sayaka suffers electric shocks from the built‑in fan. Her Doppel activates, a mermaid that drags Yachiyo in as well, but Yachiyo begins water‑skiing behind it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other’s backs, and Homura happily promises to help her no matter what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomurassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura connects with the Doppel and manages to fish it up, winning the oversized trophy. Later, as the festival winds down, Homura is confronted by her own Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying herself. It blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her of all the deaths still to come. The Doppel scolds her for relying on Madoka’s kindness and enjoying summer while Kuro lies dead. Though Homura confronts it more firmly than before, she cannot overcome it entirely. She retorts that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity, and that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must protect her happiness and her friends as well. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HomuradsSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** At registration, Mitama announces all participants must wear swimwear, offering to transform their outfits for free. Homura is surprisingly excited, and Sayaka gets roped into wearing a ridiculous mushroom‑mermaid costume designed by Kanoko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Many familiar magical girls attend as participants or catering staff. Hazuki reveals her hatred of worms, Konoha faints from watching bait wriggle, and various mishaps begin piling up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Homura shares food with Sayaka, Sayaka falls asleep and has a strange dream where Homura - wearing the same mushroom costume - tells her to let Kyosuke go and live her own life. She wakes up screaming to find Homura fishing her glasses out of the sea after they fell in during the chaos.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** By the end of the event, no one has caught a single fish because several magical girls fell into the water and scared them away. Mitama declares Homura the winner of the qualifying round since she at least caught her glasses, then pits her against a hypnotized Yachiyo who is overly excited about the competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo mistakes Sayaka in her costume for bait and throws her into the sea. The non‑waterproof suit causes Sayaka to be electrocuted by its built‑in fan, but her Doppel activates and saves her. The Doppel drags Yachiyo into the water, and Yachiyo begins water‑skiing using her fishing rod while being pulled around.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura manages to fish up the Doppel and wins the oversized trophy. Later, Sayaka thanks Homura and tells her they can watch each other&#039;s backs. Homura happily agrees, ending the day on a warm note.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Homura confronts her Doppel, which mocks her for enjoying summer and relying on Madoka’s kindness. The Doppel blames her not only for Madoka’s death but for every death that has occurred, including Kuro’s, and preemptively accuses her for all the deaths that will come. It tells her that her weakness caused Kuro’s death and that she will never be able to help anyone. Homura manages to push back more firmly than before, arguing that moving forward is not the same as wallowing in self‑pity. She insists that protecting Madoka’s life alone is not enough—she must also protect her happiness and the rest of her friends. She tells her inner self that she will not disappear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;swimurads&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Homura Akemi (Swimsuit)#Doppel Story|Homura&#039;s Swimsuit Doppel Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura visit a seaside villa on the outskirts of Kamihama. They meet Felicia and her friends briefly. After parting ways, they decide to visit an aquarium. They participate in an accessory-making workshop using star sand. Inside the aquarium, they meet Ashley, an exchange student from the United States, and Riko. Ashley recognizes them as Magical Girls from Mitakihara because she encountered their copies in Endless Mirrors. They chat and learn Ashley is making videos about kawaii things in Japan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Sayaka Miki (Waverider)#Side Story|Sayaka&#039;s Waverider Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After parting ways with Ashley and Riko, Sayaka wants to visit a CD store. She hopes to find rare CDs for Kyosuke. At the store, she reaches for the same CD as a woman. They discover they both use notepads to track CDs. The woman is Takamine&#039;s wife—Takamine was a violinist who passed away. She collects his recordings to show her daughter. They exchange contact information. Sayaka mentions the upcoming flea market.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Sayaka, Madoka, Homura, Mami, Kyoko, and Nagisa visit the flea market together. They meet Ashley and Riko again. They split into groups. Sayaka and Kyoko go together. They eat lunch and shaved ice. Ashley records their conversation. Madoka and Homura leave early for Witch patrol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka&#039;s group meets Takamine&#039;s wife and daughter. A strong wind blows the daughter&#039;s hat into the ocean. Sayaka and Kyoko transform into swimsuits and ride a surfboard to retrieve it, using Nagisa&#039;s floaty as a distraction. The hat is recovered. Takamine&#039;s wife realizes she lost her notepad. Sayaka offers her own notes, but they are smudged from the ocean water. She cannot read them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka suggests asking Sayaka&#039;s copy in Endless Mirrors, as it might remember the CD list from months ago. Madoka and Homura go to Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while waiting, Nagisa and Riko play with water guns. Sayaka&#039;s group relaxes on the beach. Madoka and Homura find Sayaka&#039;s copy in Mirrors. The copy lures them into a trap, but they manage to get the CD list from her and escape. They send it to Sayaka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;SayakassWaverider&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Takamine&#039;s wife identifies the CDs she was looking for. Sayaka buys a souvenir for Kyosuke. They enjoy the rest of the day at the beach.

* Mami, Homura, Madoka, and Sayaka fight a Witch. They rescue a taxi driver who was captured. He is confused but fine. They help him find his car. Afterward, Homura feels bad for failing to finish off the Witch. Mami suggests they have a review meeting at her place.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mami Tomoe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Mami&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mami&#039;s apartment, they discuss their strategy. Mami admits fighting alone was lonely. She says having the others with her is reassuring. They plan for future fights: Sayaka will handle Familiars, Madoka and Homura will immobilize the Witch, and Mami will finish it off. Homura provides Mami with documents on military-grade explosives to help her develop more powerful fireworks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the team encounters a paramedic and a girl under a Witch&#039;s influence. They enter the Labyrinth and defeat the Witch. The paramedic wakes up and thanks them and the team slips away quietly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of school after summer vacation, Mami calls Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura to the roof. Kyoko and Nagisa fought a powerful Witch and retreated. They warn the others and the team meets to plan. Kyoko and Nagisa will immobilize the Witch while Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura handle the Familiars. Mami will finish it off with her new firework attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The ext morning, the Witch appears and the team executes their plan. Mami uses a powerful firework attack, which she names &amp;quot;Fiore Finale,&amp;quot; to defeat the Witch. They rescue the captured people. A paramedic from earlier recognizes them and offers to take care of the victims. The team rushes to school but is late.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A taxi driver from the previous encounter sees them and gives them a ride. He thanks them for protecting the town. They arrive at school just in time. Mami is glad her hard work paid off and feels happy to be thanked. She looks forward to continuing to protect the town with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;MamissSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyoko invites Homura, Mami, Sayaka, and Madoka to the beach using tickets Mitama gave her after another accidental transformation into her magical swimsuit. The group swims, then Kyoko dominates the buffet. They discover a cliff diving spot, where Sayaka, Mami, and Kyoko take turns jumping while Madoka and Homura watch. They agree to return the day after next, since Madoka is busy the following day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kyoko asks Mitama to let her keep the swimsuit form for the summer, then heads to the beach alone. There she finds Ui Tamaki practicing swimming by herself, desperate to learn by the next day so she can join her family cliff diving. Kyoko watches over her, and later Sayaka arrives to help. Ui improves, but a rip current nearly sweeps her away; Kyoko rescues her. Moved by Ui’s determination, Kyoko keeps training her until sunset, and Ui finally masters swimming.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the final day, the Mitakihara girls return to the cliff. Kyoko spots Ui with Iroha and Yachiyo, who are reluctant to let her jump despite her claims. Kyoko vouches for Ui’s hard work and near‑drowning experience, convincing them to allow it. Ui jumps successfully. Later, Kyoko visits Mitama to revert her outfit, explaining she wants to learn swimming properly rather than relying on magic. She trades a Grief Seed for money to buy ramune as payment for a teacher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KyokossSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kyoko Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Kyoko&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Eternal Sakura (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Eternal Sakura&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu asks Sakurako to tell a scary story at the beach sleepover. Sakurako agrees to prepare a story they will never forget. She asks Hinano for help. Hinano suggests visiting a haunted place to experience fear firsthand. Sakurako, Hinano, Ryo, and Ikumi go to a rocky area and a shrine cave. Ryo tries to startle Sakurako from behind, but Sakurako is only surprised, not scared. Ikumi tells a story about a kappa sealed in the shrine. Sakurako already knows the story and reveals the monster&#039;s weakness. Hinano is more scared of Sakurako than the story. They return to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the beach, Ryo suggests they take a break and swim. Sakurako brings floaties, water guns, and other toys. They play together all day. Hinano is frustrated they are not making progress. Sakurako says she understands one new fear: the fear of having unfinished homework on the last day of summer vacation.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano suggests they stop trying to make Sakurako understand fear. They only need to scare the children. Ryo and Ikumi help Sakurako create an original ghost story. Sakurako combines elements from her research and their experiences. The story is disjointed and would make Touka laugh. Ikumi suggests Sakurako use her own presence to deliver the story with a performance. They prepare a plan: Sakurako will tell the story and use special effects, including a glowing swimsuit and fireballs from Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the sleepover, Sakurako, Ui, Touka, and Nemu go to the beach. Sakurako is distracted, preparing for the performance. They play in the ocean and build sandcastles. Sakurako occasionally stares off into space, saying she feels like she is being watched. They swim one last time at sunset. Sakurako dives and takes a long time to surface, worrying Ui and Touka.&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, they tell ghost stories. Nemu goes first, then Touka. Sakurako tells her prepared story about four friends at the beach, where one girl starts acting strangely and disappears. She uses special effects—a glowing swimsuit and fireballs outside the door—to create a frightening atmosphere. Ui and Touka are terrified. Touka cries. Sakurako breaks character to reassure them it was an act.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ryo, Ikumi, and Hinano arrive to check on them. Touka is angry and tells them to stand outside as punishment. Outside, Sakurako realizes the scariest thing of all was making the three of them cry and fearing they would not like her anymore. She decides ghost stories are truly scary. She hopes this will be a good memory despite going too far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Momoko Togame (Sanctified)#Side Story|Momoko&#039;s Sanctified Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko rehearses for the Halloween play with Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama. She plays the role of a sister, reciting lines about love. Momoko feels the role does not suit her, but Karin and Kanagi praise her performance. Karin admits she does not understand the meaning of the lines she copied from a reference. Kanagi suggests her character was inspired by Magical Kirin. Mitama says she does not understand love, and Momoko agrees, laughing about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* At school, Momoko notices her first love, who is also her classmate. A friend tells her that he fought with his girlfriend and that this is a 90% chance for someone to get close to him. Momoko is surprised by the suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
** After school, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede walk together. Rena and Kaede tell Momoko she is like a sister to them because she listens, makes them laugh, and gets mad when it counts. Momoko feels encouraged. They sense a Witch and fight it. Momoko is in her Halloween costume and cannot revert until Halloween. She decides to use it as practice.&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch and save a girl who was kissed by it. The girl is upset about a love problem. Momoko, in her sister costume, listens to her. The girl confesses she is in love with a boy who has a girlfriend and feels guilty for wanting them to break up. Momoko is struck by the timing because this mirrors her own situation.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl says she cannot give up on her love because doing so would mean her love was not serious. Momoko realizes this is exactly how she felt about her own first love. Momoko remembers wishing for the courage to confess, but she missed her chance due to her bad timing. She wonders if giving up meant her love was not serious. Momoko is conflicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is off. Kanagi and Karin notice she is not getting into character. Momoko admits it is a private matter and does not want to discuss it. She resolves to cut off her lingering feelings and end the problem herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko tries to be cold to her first love to make him dislike her, but she feels guilty because he is already upset about his fight. At rehearsal, her performance is compassionate rather than merciful. Mitama and Kanagi notice she is still troubled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko apologizes to her first love for being rude, saying she had a fight with her parents. He is relieved, thinking she did not hate him. Momoko realizes she is being affected by the girl&#039;s worries and her friend&#039;s love philosophy. She decides to practice harder to get back to her original self.&lt;br /&gt;
** She stays late to practice. Her first love also stays late and sighs. Momoko confronts him about his fight. He admits he and his girlfriend argued over a trivial movie disagreement, and they have been avoiding each other. Momoko says they are both in the wrong and should apologize. He says waiting for the other to apologize first would be cowardly, and he does not want to be a coward.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko realizes this mirrors her own decision not to use her wish to make someone fall in love with her because she did not want to be a coward. She understands that whether she gives up or not does not make her love any more or less serious because her way of life is what matters. She thanks him for opening her eyes. She asks him what he is missing, and he says courage to apologize. Momoko offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko transforms into her sister costume and uses her encouragement magic to give him courage. She tells him to confess sincerely and go talk to his girlfriend. He thanks her and leaves, saying the man who marries her will be happy.&lt;br /&gt;
** At rehearsal, Momoko&#039;s performance is the best yet. Karin, Kanagi, and Mitama praise her. Momoko feels a mix of relief and sadness. She cries about her feelings, drinking ginger ale and rambling about how much she liked him and wanted him to be happy. Mitama listens patiently. Momoko insists she is not crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Vampire Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi, Momoko, Karin, and Mitama rehearse for a Halloween stage play. Karin praises their performances, saying they are a perfect fit for their roles. Mitama suggests a full run-through, and they practice the entire play. Afterward, Karin admits something feels off about the last scene—the final battle between the vampire and the sister. She cannot pinpoint the issue but believes the script is to blame. Kanagi and Momoko offer to support her with their acting while she contemplates adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi tries changing her acting style during practice to help Karin identify the problem, but Karin says it feels out of character. Karin realizes she has been misinterpreting the vampire&#039;s personality all along. She explains the vampire is based on a character from her favorite manga, &amp;quot;Magical Kirin.&amp;quot; Kanagi admits she has not read that far into the manga, and Karin insists she must read it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi takes the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; volumes home and reads the vampire arc. The story ends with the townsfolk ambushing and killing the weakened vampire while Kirin does not intervene. Peace returns to the town. Kanagi feels emptiness upon finishing the arc. Her brother asks to borrow the manga, but Kanagi refuses, realizing she does not want him to feel the same emptiness. She is troubled by the vampire&#039;s fate and wonders if this has to do with her role in the play.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Halloween party begins. Kanagi serves guests as a &amp;quot;vampire maid.&amp;quot; She interacts with various Magical Girls. Leila comments that Kanagi&#039;s vampire portrayal is too much of a character compared to the normal idea of cruel vampires. Ui tells Kanagi she is not scared because she knows the person underneath the costume. Touka says vampires are not scary because they have many weaknesses. Kanagi pretends to be offended and playfully scares them, but the conversation gives her an idea. She realizes the preconceived notion that vampires are scary is a vicious cycle of ideas. Humans gave up on understanding them and became more afraid. She connects this to the &amp;quot;Kirin&amp;quot; arc, where the vampire&#039;s point of view is never shown, allowing the reader&#039;s fear to persist. Kanagi now understands the vampire&#039;s true identity and rushes to share her realization with Karin and Momoko before the play.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play begins. Kanagi and Momoko perform their roles. The plot follows a vampire who terrorizes a town and a sister who fights her. Their battles always end in draws. The sister lures the vampire into a trap using garlic from an upcoming harvest festival. The vampire admits defeat and asks to be killed, but the sister offers mercy. Karin, backstage, feels she failed to capture the vampire&#039;s character properly.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi improvises the vampire&#039;s climactic speech. She reveals the vampire&#039;s true identity is like the people of Daito—oppressed without reason, burdened by ancestors&#039; grudges, and filled with anger from being made to put up with it. She confesses she is remorseful and asks for forgiveness. The sister apologizes on behalf of the townsfolk for unfairly oppressing them. They reconcile, and peace is restored.&lt;br /&gt;
** The play is a success. Everyone praises Kanagi&#039;s performance. Karin apologizes for not being considerate enough while writing the script. Kanagi says the play left her feeling refreshed. Later, Mitama asks Kanagi if the resolution reflects how she truly feels. Kanagi admits she does not know. The outcome was highly idealized, and she is unsure if she could let go of everything in reality. Still, she acknowledges that Halloween was fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanagi Izumi (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Kanagi&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi discuss plans for a Kamihama Student Council Halloween event to bridge East and West. Kanagi suggests looking back on their past as a cautionary example. She recalls the future she once envisioned—an equal future brought about by destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi remembers her time with Neo-Magius. She and Mitama joined Himena&#039;s operations to strip Kamihama of food and drink and demonstrate Magical Girl power. Kanagi planned to become a common enemy for the people, allowing Himena to fight her as a righteous Magical Girl. She intended to be killed by the people of Kamihama, uniting them across East and West. The operation proceeded with Feathers destroying the city. Himena sided with the humans, and the people joined hands to defeat Kanagi. She was shot and fell, believing equality would follow. However, that future never came. Kanagi reflects that it is good it did not. She and Mitama were saved by Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Get Along Great Plan&amp;quot; and the help of many Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi goes to apologize to the East Magical Girls—Mito, Reira, Seika, Himika, and Riko—ready to be killed. She admits her sins, including approving the wholesale slaughter of Magical Girls. Himika is furious but understands Kanagi&#039;s pain. Instead of violence, Himika flicks Kanagi&#039;s forehead, mirroring how Kanagi once flicked Shigure and Hagumu as atonement. Shigure and Hagumu appear and apologize for dragging Kanagi into Neo-Magius. The East girls forgive Kanagi and invite her to build the future together. They hold a Welcome Back party.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi also reconciles with the maid café staff. The manager and senior maid had worried about her absence. Customers had written letters expressing their concern. The manager asks Kanagi to return as Kanagitan. She accepts gratefully. The manager offers to help with the Student Council event and tells Kanagi she no longer needs to hide where she was born. Kanagi is deeply moved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reflects on returning home. She had long hesitated, fearing her family might reject her. She paced around the housing complex, remembering the lives of the people there. Children greeted her, sensing something was wrong, and told her to go home and eat.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her younger brother found her and led her home. Her father had made curry—the same curry Kanagi had once said was delicious when her mother was in the hospital. Her family had been making it every day, waiting for her return. Kanagi realizes she was about to destroy everything precious to her. She eats and feels human again. She resolves to protect this happiness and seek a new future—not through destruction, but together with all the people of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kanagi discuss future Student Council plans. They consider a sports day, a festival, or camping. Mitama suggests &amp;quot;romance&amp;quot; as an important theme. They agree to move forward together for the future of Kamihama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This is partially in the past, part self-reflection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mitama Yakumo (Everlasting Darkness)#Side Story|Mitama&#039;s Everlasting Darkness Side Story]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama waits for Kanagi to discuss the student conference. When Kanagi arrives, Mitama reflects on her past. She once wished for the destruction of Kamihama. She was consumed by grief and anger. She wanted to destroy the town that had hurt her. But she also wanted an apology from those who wronged her. She recalls being bullied after returning to Daito Academy. The people of Daito resented her for going to Mizuna and returning in disgrace. She felt betrayed and humiliated. She wanted them to apologize, but they only did so when their lives were in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the Neo Magius Incident, Mitama returns to her Coordinator shop but cannot face anyone. She is overwhelmed by guilt and wants to apologize but does not know how. Momoko visits and brings snacks. Momoko encourages her to apologize and offers to help. Thanks to Momoko, many Magical Girls come to the shop to see Mitama. Mitama apologizes to them. Yachiyo, Hinano, Maria, Nanaka, Kaede, Rena, Meiyui, Ria, Riko, and Himika all speak to her. They accept her apology. Mitama cries from relief.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama begins giving free adjustments and doing favors to atone. Momoko returns and tells Mitama that everyone is worried about her—she is not acting like herself. Momoko points out that Mitama has not forgiven herself. Mitama realizes this is true. She struggles to know how to atone. She decides to participate in the student conference to change herself and face Kamihama again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns home for the first time in a long while. Her parents are waiting for her. They apologize for not being able to help her when she was suffering. They had been bowing to others to protect her, but they did not realize they were hurting her. Mitama finally understands their intentions. She tells them that is enough. She asks them to let go of the past and move forward. They have a family dinner together. Mitama takes a bath and cries, washing away her sadness, anger, and resentment. She resolves to one day forgive herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi meet again. Mitama shares her realization: her grief has ended. She now wants to make amends and carve a new future for Kamihama. They discuss ideas for the student conference. Kanagi suggests a sports festival. Mitama suggests a festival with food stalls. They joke about romance and love interests. Mitama feels lighter and ready to move forward. She says her grief melts away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls gather at Mikazuki Villa to watch a children&#039;s show called &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Mimikal☆Mimiko.&amp;quot; Mifuyu arrives and joins them, and after the episode ends, the conversation turns to nostalgic childhood programs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Prompted by the discussion, Mifuyu shares memories of a show from her own childhood, &amp;quot;Secret Heroine Typical☆Tina.&amp;quot; Living in a strict household, she found escape in her dreams after becoming a Magical Girl. Using her magic, she created a dream world where she transformed into her own heroine, experiencing the freedom and praise she lacked in reality. After meeting Yachiyo during a Witch hunt, she began including her in dreams, imagining a version where Yachiyo relied on her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** However, as she grew closer to the real Yachiyo, the gap between her dream self and real self became painful. Eventually, the real people in her life stopped appearing in her dreams one by one, starting with Yachiyo. In the end, even a kind version of her mother disappeared, and Mifuyu stopped having dreams entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The others listen and react, with Rena relating to feeling ashamed of her past self while Iroha, Ui, and Felicia try to understand. Mifuyu explains that facing reality allowed her to grow, but she never stopped holding onto her ideals. She acknowledges her failures, including her time with the Wings of the Magius, but states she does not hate herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the conversation, Mifuyu prepares to leave for a visit to her parents. Yachiyo tells her she would make a wonderful big sister and gives her a feather. Walking away, Mifuyu wonders if Yachiyo meant for her to consider how her childhood self would see her now. Imagining a conversation with her younger self, Mifuyu realizes she has grown stronger and decides she wants to become the ideal big sister she looked up to as a child.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Mifairyss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Mifuyu Azusa (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Mifuyu&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina sits in class, distracted and frustrated. She has been raising Witches as material for her art, but Karin&#039;s casual comparison to animal husbandry has shaken her. If she is merely breeding them, not creating with her own hands, can she truly call it art? Seeking answers, she goes to the place where she was first inspired, only to find Karin waiting, worried that Alina seems as troubled as when she once jumped from a hospital roof. Alina insists she is fine and cannot die anyway. Karin gives her the latest volume of Phantom Thief Magical Kirin to distract her. Reading it that night, Alina realizes the manga maintains the same core theme across every volume. If she can find the core of her own theme, she can apply it to her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina thanks Karin with strawberry milk and explains her realization. Later, at the Wings of Magius, she discusses her artistic crisis with Touka and Nemu. Touka identifies the core of Alina&#039;s work as a death drive, a self-destructive urge that fascinates humanity. Pressing further, Alina learns from them that humans uniquely destroy their own kind and their environment, driven by something beyond survival. This, they suggest, is the unconscious force behind her art. Alina leaves exhilarated, finally understanding her theme.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Alina tells her teacher she will participate in the art exhibit after all. She begins constructing a piece using faux fur and a mannequin, working with renewed energy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Alina installs her piece in the museum cafeteria: a mannequin draped in fur with a plaque reading &amp;quot;The right to participate is provided by a meal.&amp;quot; Visitors must eat there before viewing the art. That night, Karin calls frantically. A terrible stench is coming from the installation. Alina arrives to find the stage covered in garbage from patrons&#039; meals. She laughs, declaring the piece finished.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, the garbage has rotted. Alina titles the work &amp;quot;Humanity&#039;s Implicit Reward&amp;quot; and offers no explanation, insisting viewers interpret it individually. She reflects that people, driven by greed and an unconscious urge toward destruction, trashed her work simply by participating. She realizes humanity has always coveted its own destruction, and now she understands her purpose. She sees Eve not as art but as the tool she will use to reshape the world. Karin tells her she sounds like a cartoon villain. Alina takes her strawberry milk and growls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later at the Wings of Magius, Alina asks Nemu to create a rumor for her. She will let it grow, then take it into herself and use it to achieve her greatest goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyAlinass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Alina#Side Story|Holy Alina&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* As winter arrives, Touka, Nemu, and Ui finish their school day in the hospital. Their teacher announces a Christmas party, and while most students are excited, Touka complains it is pointless. Ui learns Touka and Nemu have never attended a Christmas party and becomes eager for the three of them to celebrate together. Touka and Nemu immediately start bickering over who gets to spend time with Ui, until Iroha visits and remarks how much they have all grown since they first met. Later in Ui’s room, Iroha and Ui’s mother step out, and Ui suggests they plan the Christmas party together to stop another argument.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning in class, Touka and Nemu are both convinced Ui would rather spend the party with them individually. They make a contest: each will propose a party plan at the class meeting, Ui will pick the winner, and the victor gets Ui to herself all day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the class meeting, Touka presents an extravagant plan where she rules as king; Nemu counters with a sequel to her Kagetaro story to be read by Ui. Both refuse to consider what the rest of the class wants, and when the teacher suggests they rethink, Touka storms out and Nemu flees in tears. Later, Ui tries to comfort them separately, but Touka and Nemu end up in a vicious fight that reduces Ui to tears. Ui confesses she has never celebrated Christmas with friends or family and simply wants to spend it with her two best friends, then returns to her room, leaving them shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Touka and Nemu separately sneak to Ui’s room to leave apology notes. They run into each other and, realizing they both want to make things right, decide to work together on a plan that will truly make Ui and their classmates happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In class, Touka and Nemu present a joint idea combining everyone’s suggestions: a puppet show, handmade cards, carols, and a visit from Santa. Everyone agrees. On the party day, everything goes well. Touka’s father appears as Santa, bringing gifts. Afterward, Ui gives Touka and Nemu presents she had hidden under her bed—the same place she once feared until Nemu’s story helped her overcome that fear. Touka and Nemu also have gifts for Ui, and though they refuse to admit they got anything for each other, they share a smile seeing how happy Ui is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years later, during the events of Christmas String, Touka and Nemu look back on that Christmas. They cringe at their past behavior but acknowledge they genuinely enjoyed it. Despite everything they are now caught up in, Nemu admits she treasures this Christmas too, and they agree to arrange another party for Ui, this time inviting Iroha and Sakurako.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ToukaNemuWinterNights&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Touka &amp;amp; Nemu (Winter Night)#Side Story|Touka &amp;amp; Nemu&#039;s Winter Night Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas morning, Nayuta wakes to Lavi shaking sleigh bells as an alarm, though Lavi’s arm now aches so much she vows never to do it again. Mikage arrives early, determined to spend the whole day together. She insists they use their Befana outfits—coordinated by Yozuru and Sudachi but set to vanish after Christmas—to do something special. Inspired by the legend of Befana, who leaves treats for children, Nayuta proposes they bake gifts for other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the store, they enter a costume contest to win high‑quality eggs, and Nayuta and Mikage easily take first place. With their ingredients secured, they return home to bake. Lavi ends up doing most of the work after Nayuta and Mikage’s attempts go awry, but together they produce an assortment of treats, including a perfect strawberry cake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They first visit Mitama’s shop, where they meet Maria and Konomi. Mikage hands out sweets, crediting Lavi’s teaching, and Mitama permits them to visit the Mikazuki girls after receiving a cake. At Mikazuki House, they deliver gifts and see everyone enjoying their own Christmas celebrations. Iroha mentions that people in the shopping district call Lavi “the second Yachiyo Nanami,” and Nayuta realizes she herself knows little about Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Suitoku Temple, the Tokime clan gladly accepts the treats. Listening to them recount their Secret Santa exchange, Nayuta feels envious of how close they are. At Puella Care, they learn Livia attempted a clumsy Santa surprise for Yozuru and Sudachi. The visits leave Nayuta troubled, thinking about Lavi spending Christmas away from her family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, Lavi surprises Nayuta and Mikage with matching scarves—one for each of them, completing a set with her own. Nayuta is overjoyed and later gives Lavi the strawberry cake. After dinner, Nayuta reflects on how much she still does not understand about Lavi. She considers using her Befana outfit’s magic to trace Lavi’s thoughts through the scarf, but when the chance passes at midnight, she feels relieved. Instead of prying with magic, she decides to have a cup of tea ready for Lavi when she returns from escorting Mikage home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NayutaMikageHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage (Holiday)#Side Story|Nayuta &amp;amp; Mikage&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* In the real world, Tsuruno gives gelato to Ui and Felicia. Ui is absorbed in playing a game called &amp;quot;Little Vacation&amp;quot; on Tsuruno&#039;s phone. The game follows Tsuruno and Felicia as Reindeer Santas traveling to reach the End of the World and the Wishing Star.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia (Special Delivery)#Side Story|Tsuruno &amp;amp; Felicia&#039;s Special Delivery Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at Maze Town. They enter a building and are trapped in a time loop. Four other girls—Hinano, Emiri, Rika, and Ren—are also trapped. Every four hours, a bell chimes and an explosion occurs, sending everyone back to the starting room with their memories intact. Four days have passed on the outside while they have repeated the same four hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno uses the Magical Okamochi Box, which produces a hint: &amp;quot;The key is something you don&#039;t know the importance of until it&#039;s gone. This ceaseless cycle will end when you regain it.&amp;quot; They search the maze-like building. Hinano realizes the explosion likely happened in her lab, where she was making a growth potion. Emiri admits she may have accidentally mixed chemicals together. They find the lab but it is locked. They cannot find the key.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The girls encourage Tsuruno and Felicia to leave since they were not originally trapped. Tsuruno and Felicia walk out easily. They promise to return once they find a way to free everyone. They leave, having failed to deliver smiles for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Town of Miraculous ☆ Prestidigitations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Tsuruno and Felicia arrive at the next town. They meet Mitama, a magician performing tricks, and twins Rion and Hotori. Mitama attempts to teleport Hotori but accidentally duplicates her. There are now two Hotoris. Tsuruno and Felicia try to help. The Magical Okamochi Box produces another hint: &amp;quot;Three heads are better than one.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama tests the teleportation trick on candy and succeeds. She tries it on Tsuruno and Felicia, duplicating both of them. Now there are three Tsurunos. They analyze the trick and realize Mitama&#039;s magic actually duplicates the target and then erases the original. However, it cannot erase objects filled with magic power, so humans are not affected. They cannot find a way to return everyone to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group decides to accept the situation. Tsuruno and Felicia hold a janken contest to decide who will continue traveling on Reindeer-san #2. The original Tsuruno and original Felicia win. The duplicates are left behind. The single Tsuruno who lost is left alone without Reindeer-san #2 or the Okamochi Box. She decides to continue traveling anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Maze Town:&#039;&#039;&#039; The three Tsurunos reunite and discuss the hints from the Okamochi Box. They realize &amp;quot;three heads are better than one&amp;quot; refers to them working together to solve the Maze Town puzzle. They also realize the key in Maze Town was a &amp;quot;smile&amp;quot;—something Ren had lost along the way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** The group returns to Maze Town and deliberately falls into the trap. The time loop resets, and the duplicated Tsurunos and Felicias are gone. They return to being one Tsuruno and one Felicia. The repeated time loop also undoes Mitama&#039;s failed teleportation, returning Hotori to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tsuruno explains the solution: Ren had lost her smile while traveling, and once she regained it, they could enter the lab. They enter the lab together—the door is unlocked—and Hinano neutralizes the chemicals. When the bell chimes, they are able to leave the town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real world, Ui is excited by the game&#039;s events. Felicia sends a thank-you text to the characters in the game. Game Tsuruno is surprised, saying the actual people probably do not play the game anymore. They celebrate their success and set their sights on the next town.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;TsurunoFeliciaSpecialDeliveryss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo sits at Mikazuki Villa knitting, feeling nostalgic as she works with old supplies. When Iroha notices a scarf with a snowflake pattern nearby, Yachiyo explains she knitted it in elementary school as a Christmas gift for her parents. Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia return home and ask to hear the full story, so Yachiyo retrieves the scarf from the time capsule where she had hidden it years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She explains that her parents moved frequently for work, and to be closer to her modeling agency, she went to live with her grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. Her parents dropped her off but had to leave immediately for work, and though Yachiyo acted mature to avoid worrying them, her grandmother saw through her facade. At her new school, Yachiyo struggled to make friends because her modeling schedule always interfered, and she lied to her mother during their daily phone calls about having friends and watching popular shows just to ease her concerns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** A few months later, after becoming a Magical Girl and meeting Mifuyu, early December arrived. Yachiyo&#039;s parents visited briefly and mentioned the cold weather, inspiring her to make them Christmas gifts. She settled on scarves, and her grandmother agreed to teach her to knit. One week before Christmas, her grandmother revealed that her parents had arranged to take Christmas Day off to spend with her. Though Yachiyo acted indifferent, she was overjoyed and worked even harder on the scarves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On December 23, Yachiyo finished both scarves and went to bed excited for Christmas. The next morning, however, it snowed heavily and her mother called to explain that roads were closed and both parents were required to work. Yachiyo held back tears and told her mother not to worry, but after hanging up, she broke down crying in her grandmother&#039;s arms. Her parents never arrived, sending presents and a letter by mail the next day instead. Unable to look at the scarves, Yachiyo hid them in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present day, Yachiyo finishes her story, explaining that she no longer feels sad looking at the scarves, only nostalgic. Sana observes that Yachiyo was cherished by many people and now takes care of others the same way. Ui notices Yachiyo is knitting new scarves for everyone at Mikazuki Villa, and the girls all request lessons so they can knit one for Yachiyo in return. Yachiyo takes them to the same yarn store her grandmother brought her to years ago.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Yachiyo&#039;s phone rings. Her parents are in town on business and visit immediately. Her mother notices the old scarf and picks it up, and to Yachiyo&#039;s shock, both parents recognize it immediately, knowing exactly how old it is. After a brief visit, they must leave for work. Yachiyo&#039;s mother admits they always worried about her after her grandmother passed, but seeing her now, surrounded by friends, puts them at ease. They depart as snow begins to fall, and Yachiyo wraps her own knitted scarf around herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossSnow&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Fairy Tale)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Fairy Tale Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Check on the days again to make sure how many days pass. It&#039;s possible it&#039;s all just one day&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mami finds herself in a strange white fog, speaking with two other versions of herself. Holy Mami claims she has learned the truth about magical girls from Alina Gray and Touka Satomi and has found a way to save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami has tea with Touka and Alina at a house rented for her by Touka. Mami explains she has not returned to Mitakihara because her priority is releasing magical girls. Touka and Alina offer to lecture her on what she needs to study. Alina grows disturbingly excited discussing van Gogh&#039;s Sunflowers, and Touka lectures at length on mathematics until Alina interrupts. Mami reassures them she will ask for help when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina receives a call from the Amane sisters requesting help with a Witch. Touka asks Mami to assist, explaining she has a lecture to give at noon to recruit skilled magical girls. Mami agrees, reflecting that releasing magical girls requires Grief Seeds, protecting Rumors, and raising Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane waiting for her. They explain the Witch has moved and the Black Feathers are monitoring it. A Black Feather appears and reports the Witch escaped, so the girls trace it with Mami&#039;s help and follow. The Amanes explain the Black Feathers hide their identities to avoid conflict from other magical girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They find the Witch. As Mami fights, the Amanes note she is using too much magic. Mami explains that using more magic lets her meet Florence, her Doppel, sooner. Despite their warning that using Doppels is exhausting, Mami says she has grown used to it. She summons Florence and defeats the Witch quickly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami receives a call from Touka, asking her to come to an abandoned museum in Sakae Ward. Touka explains they encountered troublesome magical girls now trapped in a Rumor and asks Mami to attack them if they escape. Mami finds it troublesome to be called so frequently but goes anyway. The magical girls escape, though Mami thinks it might have been the best outcome. She wonders why they did not join the Wings of Magius, but doubt begins to creep in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami again finds herself in white fog, speaking with her other self. She questions whether she favored Magius from the beginning. Holy Mami insists she believes in Magius as their salvation. Mami points out they resemble something she distrusts. Holy Mami begs Florence to save her, and the Doppel appears. Mami asks why she went that far.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami finds herself back in a park, shaken but convincing herself it is only shock from learning the truth. Mifuyu Azusa calls, and Mami joins her, Touka, and Alina at a classy restaurant. Touka insists on paying. Mami reports the magical girls escaped, noting someone she had not seen in a while caused her to let her guard down. Mifuyu reassures her she has been helpful. Touka says her lecture recruited three new members, but she worries about the hot coals left behind. Mifuyu advises patience. They eat together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Mami returns to Mitakihara, feeling the need for tea in her own room. She thinks of Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, believing she must take responsibility for involving them in the magical girl world. She wonders what Kyoko would do, imagining Kyoko would say she should be responsible. Mami admits she cannot accept it, which is why she decided to release magical girls. Madoka briefly senses Mami&#039;s presence, then wonders if she imagined it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;HolyMamiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Holy Mami#Side Story|Holy Mami&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Ren plan for their friends’ Christmas party a week away and promise to spend Christmas Eve together. While looking at options in a magazine, they cannot decide on a place. Ren buys the magazine to think it over, privately hoping to choose somewhere that will make Rika happy, though she doubts whether she truly belongs beside her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Ren visits Emiri’s consultation room but finds only Akira and Ria Ami. She explains her dilemma, and Ria takes her around town to evaluate possible locations. They rule out a restaurant, an amusement park, and a romantic cafe, eventually settling on the Minagi Aquarium. Ria is surprised to learn Ren is planning an outing with Rika, not a boyfriend, but Ren leaves feeling confident in her choice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before Christmas Eve, Rika attends a party with her school friends. When she mentions she will spend Christmas Eve at the aquarium with a friend, her friends press to join, but Rika refuses. She advises them not to look for boyfriends just to avoid being alone. Later, while walking with her friends, Rika spots Ren chasing after Aimi Eri. She follows and finds Ren comforting Aimi over a misunderstanding involving a boy; the situation resolves without trouble.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Ren waits for Rika, who messages that she overslept with a fever. Ren worries Rika became sick chasing after her the day before. Before she can reply, Aimi finds her, and they go shopping together. Aimi encourages Ren to visit Rika instead of staying apart. Ren goes to Rika’s house, knocks on her window, and insists they spend Christmas together there so Rika can rest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They exchange gifts: Ren gives Rika scented candles, having noticed Rika’s interest from a sticky note, and Rika gives Ren a glass candlestick. Rika hopes they can visit the aquarium another time, and Ren leaves happy to have shared Christmas with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RikaRenHolidayss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rika &amp;amp; Ren (Holiday)#Side Story|Rika &amp;amp; Ren&#039;s Holiday Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This has two versions, assimilate them if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia and Tsuruno go to Banbanzai, where Felicia quits her part‑time job. Tsuruno tells her father she is leaving home and school for good, having found somewhere she feels completely safe, then runs off with Felicia before he can respond. He recognizes the look on her face from a past tragedy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Tsuruno admits she does not fully understand why she spoke to her father that way; she no longer feels like herself. She, Felicia, and Sana gather at the Magius headquarters, wanting to contribute. Mifuyu uses her illusions to try reaching Tsuruno, first taking her back to Banbanzai to remind her of her family, then to Mikazuki Villa to recall the relief she once felt there. Neither works. When Tsuruno points out that Mifuyu was the first to leave the villa and join the Magius, Mifuyu has no answer and ends the illusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu successfully frees Felicia and Sana from brainwashing, but Touka and Alina arrive and summon Tsuruno. Alina reveals Tsuruno will commit mass murder to compensate for destroyed Rumors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward, tasked with killing people to harvest energy and fighting anyone who interferes. Touka privately notes to Alina that if Yachiyo appears, destroying the Rumor will also kill Tsuruno, a setup meant to push Yachiyo’s team into despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu’s Rumor describes a relaxing park no one would want to leave. Tsuruno’s role is to terrify and execute those who cannot fit or try to interfere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu asks Tsuruno about a park where she felt relaxed. Tsuruno recalls going to an amusement park with her friends after Mel’s death. She remembers overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss Mel, feeling they kept the truth from her because she was too weak. She decided she had to keep smiling for everyone’s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days later, while hunting a Witch, Yachiyo notes Tsuruno’s Soul Gem is dark and suggests they take a break. They go to an amusement park to cheer up for Mel’s sake. Tsuruno threw herself into the attractions to forget her sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present, Tsuruno tells Nemu that the amusement park was the only place she could truly relax, because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa she always felt she had to keep smiling to hold everyone together. With that, Nemu finalizes the Rumor’s theme as a place to sit back and relax. The Rumor springs into existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno fuses with a mascot to become Rumor Tsuruno. Using her imagination, she creates rides, a restaurant, a spa, shops, and a cafe. Mascots warn that once the park is complete she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world, but she says she has no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The park is finished. As Rumor Tsuruno imagines the food menu, memories of Mikazuki Villa briefly surface, but she pushes them aside. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;UwasaTsurunoss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Uwasa Tsuruno#Side Story|Uwasa Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at Banbanzai, Felicia tells Tsuruno&#039;s father she is quitting her part-time job. He wishes her luck, then turns to Tsuruno with panic, revealing she did not come home last night or attend school. Tsuruno assures him she is fine, then declares she will never return to school or home again. Before he can react, she runs out with Felicia. He chases but loses them immediately, recognizing a look on her face he has seen only once before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the train station, Felicia asks why Tsuruno said those things. Tsuruno is unsure, feeling unlike herself. They make their way to the Magius headquarters, where Sana is also present. Mifuyu urges them to remember their true feelings through illusions, but Tsuruno no longer cares about her family or Mikazuki Villa. When Tsuruno reminds Mifuyu that she was the first to leave, Mifuyu ends the illusions, unable to understand how Tsuruno has changed so much while she herself still has regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Through the illusions, Mifuyu successfully rids Felicia and Sana of their brainwashing. As Touka and Alina approach, Mifuyu warns them to pretend. Touka beckons Tsuruno to follow. When Mifuyu begs to know their plans, Alina casually mentions they will have Tsuruno commit mass murder to harvest energy for salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Outside, Touka explains Tsuruno will be fused with a new Rumor in Daito Ward. Her job is to kill anyone who cannot fit inside or tries to interfere, terrifying them as much as possible before death. What Tsuruno does not know is that she will also die if the Rumor is destroyed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At an abandoned amusement park, Nemu joins them. Her creation describes the new theme park Rumor: a relaxing place no one would want to leave. Tsuruno&#039;s job is to execute those who cannot fit or interfere. Nemu encourages her to focus on routine work and not think.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu leaves the theme to Tsuruno, asking if she ever felt relaxed at a park. Tsuruno remembers a day at an amusement park with her friends where she forgot all her worries. The memory shifts to the day she learned of Mel&#039;s death. She recalls overhearing Momoko, Mifuyu, and Yachiyo discuss the incident, quietly retrieving her bag and leaving because she believed they thought she was too weak to handle the truth. At home, she cried but told herself she must keep smiling for the others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few days later, Tsuruno battles a Witch with Yachiyo, Momoko, and Mifuyu. Distracted, she is nearly defeated until Mifuyu steps in. Yachiyo hands her a Grief Seed, noting how dark her Soul Gem has become. Yachiyo suggests they postpone hunting and instead spend the next day at an amusement park to cheer up for Mel&#039;s sake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, they go to the amusement park. After initial hesitation, everyone enjoys themselves. On the way home, Tsuruno has a blank look, distracted by how much fun she had. They had thrown themselves at rides to forget their sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The flashback ends. Tsuruno explains to Nemu that she could relax at the park because she did not have to think. At Mikazuki Villa, she felt she had to keep smiling for everyone else&#039;s sake. Nemu decides the park&#039;s theme should be a place where you can sit back and relax. The Rumor is complete and springs into existence around them. The three Magius leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno looks at her new domain. Mascots appear, eager to help. A mascot suggests she fuse with the Rumor so she can work without sleeping. Tsuruno transforms and fuses, becoming Rumor Tsuruno.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumor Tsuruno begins designing the park, adding a merry-go-round, roller coaster, spa, shops, and a cafe. The mascots warn that once the park is complete, she will become part of it and cannot return to the human world. Rumor Tsuruno claims no regrets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As she imagines comfort foods with hot pot as the main star, she is reminded of Mikazuki Villa. She brushes it off and completes the park. The mascots and Ferris wheel wish her luck as the new manager.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Tsurumorss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Rumor Tsuruno#Side Story|Rumor Tsuruno&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Uwasa Sana&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana looks at a Mr. Purrs-a-lot picture book and feels down. Ui notices and asks what is wrong. Sana admits she wants to become a picture book author to help people who are suffering like she once was. She has many ideas but does not know how to write them. Ui encourages her. Sana says she is starting from zero and needs to practice writing. Ui suggests she settle on one main idea. Sana recalls a story about the Rice God from Yachiyo and decides to write a practice story about it.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana writes a story about the Rice God punishing Felicia for not finishing her rice. Ui enjoys it. Sana realizes she also needs to entertain readers while conveying her message. She decides her first picture book theme will be &amp;quot;friends.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana and Ui discuss the main character. Sana models her after Ai, the Uwasa of the Anonymous A.I. She names the heroine Aoi. Sana writes the first part of the story: Aoi leaves the &amp;quot;Land of Beginnings&amp;quot; and arrives at the &amp;quot;Land of Blessings,&amp;quot; where residents constantly fight. Aoi suggests a picnic to help them understand each other. The residents grow closer. Ui enjoys the story. Sana reveals she wants to leave behind proof of Ai&#039;s existence before she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana asks Nemu for permission to use a character modelled after Ai in her picture book. Nemu agrees, saying she is happy Sana wishes to preserve Ai. Nemu advises Sana on how to become a published author: enter contests or approach publishers directly. Sana becomes discouraged when she realizes she would have to interact with people who cannot see her. She leaves feeling hopeless.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana wanders alone, feeling invisible. She helps a girl find a lost ring but is not noticed. She thinks her dream is impossible. Tsuruno, Felicia, and Ui find her, worried because she was not answering calls. Iroha and Yachiyo also arrive. Nemu calls and suggests Sana could use an agent to communicate with publishers, avoiding direct meetings. Sana regains her resolve. Yachiyo tells her not to give up on her dream. Iroha and the others promise to support her. Sana realizes she has a family to help her get back up.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana finishes her first picture book, &amp;quot;A Small Encounter.&amp;quot; The story follows Shana, an invisible girl who is found by Aoi and makes her first friend. Sana decides to show it to everyone and get their thoughts. She promises to keep persevering for Ai&#039;s sake and for everyone who supports her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Day 1 (Flashback/Reflection)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi wakes from a nap and remembers the dream she had when fused with the Kimochi. She recalls Iroha&#039;s words that helped her realize she had not truly given up. Iroha told her that those who have given up do not fight, and that Lavi came to Kamihama because she still wanted to help others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Lavi Himuro (Kimochi)#Side Story|Lavi&#039;s Kimochi Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects on the hope she once held—a daydream of a peaceful life where magical girls are understood. In that dream, she helped her mother, tended fields with her grandfather, watched Urara&#039;s street performances, and attended exhibitions with Shirogane. She encountered other magical girls: Asahi, Haitani, Kuroda, Urara, and Alexandra. They fought witches together and enjoyed everyday moments. Lavi realized she had locked away this hope because remembering it was painful. But now, through her connection with Iroha and her time with Nayuta, she has begun to see the future again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 2 (Daydream/Desired Future)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi dreams of a happy future where the Automatic Purification System has spread and peace has come. She, Nayuta, and Mikage go on a trip to Yukuni. They encounter many acquaintances: Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and Mikazuki Villa. Due to a scheduling mistake, everyone arrives at the same inn on the same day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** There is not enough premium beef for dinner. The groups compete in hot spring table tennis, karaoke, and pillow fights to decide who gets the meat. Yuna cheats in table tennis and is disqualified. The karaoke machine is outdated. The pillow fight becomes chaotic. Asahi saves the day with gibier meat. Everyone shares the meal and enjoys the evening together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi reflects that this bustling, noisy future is unlike her usual self, but she realizes she has been yearning for it deep down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Day 3 (Reality/Current Time)&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi teaches Nayuta cooking. They discuss their futures: Nayuta wants to study magical girls at a university different from her father&#039;s. Lavi wants to help at her family&#039;s inn while spreading magical girl activities. They plan a trip with Mikage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Upon arriving at Cradle of the Earth in Yukuni, they encounter Mikazuki Villa, Puella Care, Neo-Magius, and the Tokime Clan—just as in Lavi&#039;s dream. There is again not enough meat for dinner. Lavi is overwhelmed but also excited. She realizes that even if the past cannot be undone, they can move forward together and create a bright future. She announces they will compete over the meat and create a new future with all of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;LavissKimochi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Yachiyo wakes at Mikazuki Villa and briefly senses Iroha&#039;s magical signature before it disappears. She sends Felicia and Sana off to school, then meets Momoko, Rena, and Kaede for lunch. Rena confesses she screamed in class, unable to contain her frustration that everyone has forgotten Iroha. Yachiyo realizes she had convinced herself she accepted Iroha&#039;s disappearance but had actually just given up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo meets with Mifuyu, Kanagi, and Hinano to discuss Magical Girls&#039; declining mental states. That evening, she finds Sana&#039;s discarded picture book manuscript.

* Yachiyo brings the group to the radio tower observatory, where they sense Iroha&#039;s magical signature radiating from above, confirming she is still working to save Magical Girls. Felicia is absent. Later, Yachiyo meets with Yuna, Shizuka, Himena, and Lavi to discuss the ongoing grief before departing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo attends the Kamihama Student Conference results meeting, where Mifuyu notes Rena has improved since seeing Iroha&#039;s signature. Yachiyo receives a call from Tsuruno: Felicia has run away. That evening, Felicia calls, planning to leave Kamihama to escape her guilt. Yachiyo tracks her location and rushes to the station with Tsuruno. Tsuruno finds Felicia, who confesses she cannot forget Iroha. Tsuruno shares Yachiyo&#039;s message: they should say &amp;quot;thank you&amp;quot; rather than &amp;quot;I&#039;m sorry.&amp;quot; Felicia agrees and returns home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YachiyossHistoria&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yachiyo Nanami (Historia)#Side Story|Yachiyo&#039;s Historia Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome and Aru lead Yachiyo and Felicia to a location near the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, where Iroha&#039;s presence is stronger. Yachiyo suggests a picnic there.

* Mitama Yakumo watches a video about the Sketchbook of Misfortune.

Mitama wants no part of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative|The Case Files of the Coordinator 2: A Drifting Narrative]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Karin and Momoko visit Mitama. Karin explains she&#039;d found a strange sketchbook in the art room at Sakae Academy, which Mitama recognizes as the Sketchbook of Misfortune. Inside, she finds a drawing of Tsukuyo lying on the floor badly hurt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives, explaining she&#039;d heard Mitama talking. Mitama shows her the drawing and Tsukasa fears for her sister’s life. She insists on helping and Mitama makes her an interim investigative assistant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Tsukasa study the sketchbook. Most drawings show pairs of people: families, partners, friends. They search social media and contact the creator of “The Urban Legends of Kamihama” channel, where they learn about past cases: a couple who drowned themselves, two soccer brothers who disappeared after switching teams, a woman who reunited with her father. They deduce the sketchbook indeed seems cursed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin discovers the sketchbook originally belonged to an aspiring artist who died decades ago. Mitama and Karin meet the artist’s older sister and she lends them the artist’s diary. After reading it, Mitama realizes the artist was a Magical Girl who wished to see hope. She gained the ability to see the future of Kamihama and sketch it. They realize the sketchbook is not cursed, but a “Sketchbook of Hope” and the rumors about Ketch are false.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds the artist’s hidden studio, where she discovers a large canvas: the completed version of the torn drawing from the Sketchbook. It shows Tsukuyo wounded but with Tsukasa helping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Tsukasa still believes the rumors, she takes the sketchbook and runs away. She disguises herself in Tsukuyo’s school uniform and plans to burn the book while dressed as Tsukuyo. She believes Ketch will trap her instead of her sister.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa goes to a mound in Shinsei Ward and a hand drags her into the ground. She is caught by the Rumor of the Historical Battle Marker, not Ketch. Mitama and Tsukuyo follow and say the escape words of the Uwasa (“Thanks to you, the town is safe”), rescuing her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Tsukasa is injured, she is able to heal. Mitama explains the truth that the sketchbook is a Sketchbook of Hope. She xplains that the couple in the sketchbook later\ eloped, the soccer brothers are still alive and working hard separately and the girl on the rooftop was waiting for her father. The drawing of Tsukuyo and Tsukasa together shows hope as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns the sketchbook and diary and the twins return to peace as well. Mitama reflects on her own wish, which felt like a curse and wonders if she herself will ever find hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Need to re-check this. It may already be done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukuyo and Tsukasa Amane complain about being overworked as guardians of a Rumor and fear the anger of Touka, Alina, and Nemu. They play their flutes together to lift their spirits and Alina appears and says they sound “unharmonious.” She asks their opinion on her next art piece about nature art vs. sound art, and when they cannot answer, she calls them useless.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu Azusa arrives with two new Black Feathers. The twins forgot they were supposed to train them. They apologize and leave with the Black Feathers. Tsukuyo and Tsukasa explain the purpose of the robes hiding their identities and teach basic fighting techniques to the Black Feathers. They turn out to be competent and one Black Feather comments that the twins “don’t really seem like twins” because of their different tones and vibes.&lt;br /&gt;
** After training, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa talk privately. They recall how they discovered they were twins: both had half‑moon flutes that together form a full moon, and they share similar struggles at home, with Tsukasa doing chores at a bamboo workshop and Tsukuyo enduring strict training from her grandmother. They reaffirm their bond and dream of leaving Kamihama together, however, their Flute Blossom Resonance has been failing recently. They decide to prove to the Black Feathers that they are true twins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa try to demonstrate twin‑like acts like quizzes, synchronized moves, etc., but everything fails. The Black Feathers realize the twins are upset by the earlier comment, so they apologize. Mifuyu arrives and assigns them a mission to capture a Witch, which the Black Feathers will observe.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins enter the Labyrinth, and during the fight, they are out of sync and accidentally hit each other. Familiars attack the Black Feathers and the twins protect them. They attempt Flute Blossom Resonance, but it affects the Black Feathers instead of the Witch. Mifuyu steps in and defeats the Witch herself, scolding the twins and warns they may be demoted to Black Feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukuyo and Tsukasa feel ashamed, questioning whether their bond is real or just a result of their wishes. They consider quitting the Wings of the Magius, but then Alina calls with a new mission: capture a specific Witch. The twins say they cannot use Flute Blossom Resonance, but Alina tells them to die trying and then hangs up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Two Black Feathers overhear Alina’s mission and one blames herself for the twins’ slump and goes alone to capture the Witch. The other Black Feather calls the twins for help and soon, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa enter the Labyrinth and find the Black Feather surrounded by Familiars. They fight to protect her and despite being out of sync, they manage to hold their own. The Black Feather says they are acting “super twin‑like” and in perfect harmony. The twins realize they stopped trying to force identical melodies and they remember that their flutes were never meant to sound the same; they complement each other. Their true bond is not about being identical but about being two separate people who choose to be together.&lt;br /&gt;
** They perform Flute Blossom Resonance at 120% power, this time successfully stopping the Witch. They defeat the Witch and save the Black Feather. Mifuyu and Alina arrive and Mifuyu admits she orchestrated the mission to help the twins regain their individuality. Alina was in on it as well, but she scolds the twins for over‑emphasizing their “twininess” and being useless, however she acknowledges that watching them recover their individuality was emotional. She decides to combine nature art and sound art for her next masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
** The twins hold hands and affirm their love for each other. They understand they do not need to act identical; they are genuine twins. Touka suddenly arrives and reminds them that freedom is necessary for their future and the twins resolve to continue working for the Wings of the Magius to gain that freedom.&lt;br /&gt;

* On a busy morning, Mitama adjusts many Magical Girls in a row, not even remembering the exact order. A package is delivered to her door early in the day, but she is too busy to fetch it. That evening, after finishing her last adjustment, Mitama remembers the package and opens it. She hears a voice detailing the Uwasa of the Miniature Dollhouse. The landscape distorts and Mitama loses consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology|The Case Files of the Coordinator 3: Cozy Cosmology]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama finds herself in an old building looking exactly like the dollhouse in the package. The sky is bright blue, though it was evening in reality. She realizes she has been trapped inside a space created by a Rumor and a giant meow echoes from above, sounding like Doyle but is not him. She finds a book titled “Screenplay (draft version)” which glows when she opens it. The escape conditions appear: “Finish all episodes and beat the Dreamer’s challenge.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 1: Mitama becomes a trainee teacher at Kamihama University Affiliated School where Mifuyu is a fellow teacher. The students are preparing for a choir competition, but Rena had run away from the soprano solo. Mitama helps Momoko find Rena on the rooftop, where Rena admits she is scared. Momoko suggests a duet, but then Kaede then says she might quit the choir because she works at a flower shop and cannot miss shifts. Mitama remembers the hint “Concession to the Spy” and offers to take Kaede’s shifts. Kaede agrees and Rena agrees to the duet. The episode ends and the screenplay glows again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 2: Mitama becomes a member of the “Alien Investigators” with Ashley, Karin, Riko, Kako, and Kush. They search for “Red Eye” at an old rail yard and a boulder falls, but Kush stops it with psychokinesis and reveals she is an artificial life form (Doll) created by the Doll Master. She explains she needs cherry tomatoes to stay awake and Mitama remembers the hint “Doll Master of the North.” Kush takes them to the Satomi Medical Center, where Mitama goes to the top floor alone and finds Touka. Mitama accuses her of being the Dreamer, though Touka denies it. She says she is only playing the role of Doll Master and explains that the Rumor traps victims and one becomes the Dreamer. The episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama recalls that every Magical Girl in Episodes 1 and 2 visited her shop today and the dollhouse had been outside all day. She concludes that all those girls are also trapped inside the dollhouse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Episode 3: Mitama is now working at the Blossom flower shop, as promised in Episode 1. Konomi is the owner and Kokoro and Masara are regulars. Kokoro remembers a sunflower field she saw as a child but cannot find it again, so the group searches the Hokuyo Ward forest. There, they meet Himika and Kanagi, who are picking up trash and Kanagi telepathically tells Mitama she knows they are in a Rumor world. They find a waterfall and as the hint says “Behind the Waterfall,” they walk through and discover a hidden sunflower field. Kokoro’s memory is verified as real and the episode ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Episode 3, Mitama and Kanagi are transported to a final room where Nemu awaits. Mitama assumes Nemu is the Dreamer but Nemu says she is not. Nemu explains that four Magical Girls were present when the package was opened: Mitama, Kanagi, Touka, and Nemu herself. All the other characters are fake cast members created by the Dreamer who is Mitama herself. Nemu explains the escape conditions were set by Mitama’s unconscious mind and they require her to discover all the hints and mysteries across the three episodes. The three episodes are actually a single sci-fi story about first contact with intelligent plants and the fake versions of Kaede, Kako, and Konomi are plant spies, while Nemu is the queen of the plant kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu continues that Mitama failed to see the deeper story and this is her second failed attempt. Each failure resets her memory and sends her back to the start of the episodes. The Rumor also erases an important connection from each trapped person, so Mitama has forgotten something, but she does not know what.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama opens the screenplay again and soon, a memory floods back. She remembers her sister Mikage, who she&#039;d forgotten about entirely. She now knows why she must return to the real world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following that, after several more attempts, Mitama manages to escape from the Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse world, by eventually discovering the hidden sci-fi plot and all the hints. The other three Magical Girls forget everything that happened inside, but Mitama remembers everything. She returns to her shop and Doyle is there, seemingly worried.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama thinks about Mikage and how terrifying it was to forget someone so important. She also reflects on the Wings of the Magius and questions whether she can stay neutral much longer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One summer morning, Mitama is at her shop and she has set up a small café corner called Hot☆Corner. The cat, Doyle, is especially attached to her lately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Exedra Event - The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery|The Case Files of the Coordinator 4: Moratorium on Misdelivery]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Rika and Ren come for cakes and Mitama gives them the last two limited‑edition cakes. They chat about the Monty Hall problem, which Nanaka’s team discussed earlier. Mitama demonstrates the puzzle with three paper cups and a piece of chocolate. Rika picks the middle cup; Mitama shows the left cup is empty and offers a switch. Rika and Ren learn that switching gives a two‑in‑three chance of winning. After the demonstration, Rika notices her teapot is empty; Mitama goes to refill it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Mitama is away, Doyle meows and suddenly, Rika and Ren have three identical envelopes on the table: one contains photos from an amusement park trip (for Ren), one is a suspected love letter Rika found in her locker, and one is a mystery envelope that Emiri found on the floor outside Mitama’s door. Emiri and Hinano Miyako arrive as well and Emiri bumps into the table, knocking the envelopes onto the floor. When they pick them up, the envelopes are shuffled, so no one knows which is which.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group discusses probabilities and Emiri accidentally opens an envelope that contains the amusement park photos (not the love letter). Hinano argues that the Monty Hall problem does not apply because the opening was accidental, and she explains that Mitama’s demonstration worked because Mitama knew which cup hid the chocolate and purposely showed an empty one. Emiri did not know the contents, so there was a chance she could have opened the love letter. After recalculating, Hinano concludes that the odds for Rika’s first choice (the envelope she originally picked as the love letter) are now 50‑50, not two‑in‑three for switching.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika sticks with her original choice. It contains a six‑month flower voucher from Blossom Flower Shop and no sender name. The remaining envelope, which Emiri did not open, contains a challenge: “I’ll be waiting at Natsume Books. The password is in your favorite book. Go to volume 12, page 50!” The group realizes the flower voucher likely belongs to Mitama, and the mystery envelope found at the door contains the challenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki arrives and she messages Akira. The story emerges: Meiyui accidentally left the flower voucher in Rika’s locker. Nanaka had asked Kako Natsume for a six‑month voucher as a gift for Mitama, and Kako left it with Meiyui to deliver. Meanwhile, Rika had asked Akira to print photos from the amusement park, which Akira had given to Meiyui, as she goes to school with Rika. They realize Meiyui mixed up the envelopes and the mystery of the voucher is solved, but the challenge isn&#039;t.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama, Ashley, and Riko go to Natsume Books, where they find out that a full set of “The Case Files of Doyle the White Tabby” was sold yesterday. Inside volume 12, page 50, they find an envelope with a 100‑yen coin and a message: “Turn this 100 yen into 300,000 yen by tomorrow. If you can’t, I’ll take ‘smiles’ from around Kamihama. From the Smile Snatcher.” The deadline is the next day, and Ashley suggests it is an alternate reality game (ARG) with a phantom thief.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way, they meet Reira, Mito, and Seika. Mito hints to go to Ashita’s candy store. At the store, the clerk has a tradition of giving change as “300,000 yen” instead of “30 yen” as a joke. Mitama buys a trio of chocolates for 70 yen and pays with the 100‑yen coin and the clerk gives her 300,000 yen (meaning 30 yen) change. The puzzle is solved and the clerk gives them another envelope from the Smile Snatcher.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next message: “Order Misola 0 from the young miss at the maid café.” Ashley takes them to a maid café in Shinsei Ward where the manager is called “miss.” Riko notes that “Mi, so, la” are musical notes. Ashley says in English, Mi = E, So = G, La = A. “Misola 0” becomes “E G A 0,” which sounds like “egao” (Japanese for smile). They order a smile and the manager gives them the final envelope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The message: “I’ve given up trying to steal smiles. Would you like to be my friend instead? I’ve left you a small apology at Blossom. Password@Hot☆Corner. From the Smile Snatcher.” At Blossom Flower Shop, Mitama guesses the password is “third base” because Konomi mentions a fake flower called “San Ruishu” (which sounds like “sanruishu,” Japanese for third base, also called “hot corner”). Konomi confirms and gives Mitama an envelope with an invitation to a surprise party at Walnut’s restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama returns to her office and confronts Momoko. Momoko admits she planned the whole surprise party and that Ren wrote the colorful challenges, Rika and Ren worked together, Karin delivered the envelopes and also acted as the phantom thief’s assistant. Most of the Magical Girls Mitama met that day were lying to keep the surprise hidden and the Monty Hall envelope mix‑up was a genuine accident that nearly ruined the plan. She explains the party is meant to thank Mitama for her work as Coordinator.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The party at Walnut’s is put on hold indefinitely due to complications caused by the Wings of the Magius, who plan to make Tsuruno do something dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Casefiles-4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day|Iroha&#039;s Birthday 2025: Her Extra Special Day]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;August 22nd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Yachiyo tells Iroha that a safety inspector is coming to Mikazuki Villa. The inspection will take all day, so everyone should stay out of the house until evening. Iroha thinks time will fly if they hang out together, but Tsuruno says Banbanzai is busy with deliveries. Tsuruno has asked Felicia and Sana to help, but when Iroha offers to help, Tsuruno refuses quickly and the three leave in a hurry. &lt;br /&gt;
** Once Iroha leaves, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana sneak back to the villa where Yachiyo greets them. They successfully shook Iroha off their trail and Yachiyo announces they will prepare an extra special hospitality for Iroha. Meanwhile, Iroha walks around, but feels something is missing. She realizes her life changed greatly after meeting Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana and she wants to hurry home to see them. Evening arrives, and she heads back.&lt;br /&gt;
** When Iroha returns home, everyone runs to greet her and they shout “Happy birthday!” making Iroha realize she&#039;d forgotten her own birthday. Yachiyo explains the story about the inspection was a lie to keep her out of the house and that they&#039;d decorated the living room with colorful flowers and leaves for a tropical theme.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana has made a special tropical juice with a yellow-to-blue gradation, garnished with a flower and umbrella. Felicia uses a large leaf to fan Iroha. Yachiyo prepared a tropical feast: poke, garlic shrimp, loco moco, a luau spread, and malasada doughnuts. The theme came from a travel show they watched together. Iroha had said she wished she could go to the tropics someday, so the group decided to bring the tropics to her.&lt;br /&gt;
** After dinner, everyone prepares futons in the living room and Yachiyo says the surprise is not the sleepover. The lights go out, Yachiyo plays ocean wave sounds and then a whirring sound starts. Sparkling lights like stars appear on the ceiling and Tsuruno explains they made a planetarium from cardboard and foil. Iroha was moved by the night sky on the travel show, so they wanted her to see it. Iroha is deeply touched. Soon, everyone falls asleep while talking, but Iroha stays awake, gazing at the warm light on the ceiling. She felt lonely earlier, but now her heart is full and she is truly happy and grateful to have such friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===The Rumored Temp Counselor===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - The Rumored Temp Counselor|The Rumored Temp Counselor]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako, the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura, comes to Emiri’s Counseling Room accompanied by Hinano. Sakurako explains that she is 0 years old but appears 17, and that she was born as a formless story. Nemu gave her life and later invited her to live as a human named Sakurako Hiiragi and she connected to a server to download common sense. She now attends Minagi Liberty Academy as Hinano’s junior and she can fight Witches because Nemu gave her magic. She wants to learn about human society and to achive that, Emiri makes her a temporary counselor.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her first consultation, a high school girl struggles with whether to go to university or pursue her dream of becoming a dyer. Sakurako checks her server data and advises university first, because dyeing involves chemistry and other subjects. The girl accepts the advice.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako explains to Emiri why she needs to learn common sense. At Mikazuki Villa, she once tried to attack a stranger who bumped into Ui and Yachiyo and Iroha lectured her. Later, she ran away from school because she was bored and missed Iroha. That was when she met Ryo Midori and became friends. Hinano told her school would be more fun with friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over several days, Sakurako counsels more people. She tells a student to set smaller study goals, advises someone in a love dispute to apologize and explain their feelings and she encourages a nervous junior to have confidence. However, she relies on server data for each answer.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako soon becomes bored listening to strangers and wants to be with Iroha, Ui, Nemu, and Touka instead. She hides this because she knows quitting would be wrong and that Hinano and the others support her as a counselor, so she continues.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Touka notifies the others that she has five tickets to Minagi Land for herself, Nemu, Ui, Iroha, and Sakurako, however the date is the same day Sakurako promised to go shopping with Hinano’s group. Sakurako wants to go to the theme park, but she tells Iroha she cannot go because she made a prior commitment and she decides to keep her promise to the counseling group.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the planned day, Sakurako shops with Hinano, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Akira. She tries to focus, but she keeps thinking about Iroha and the others at the amusement park and appears distracted. Her friends end the trip early and Sakurako apologizes.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakurako goes to the counseling room when no one is there. A student arrives for a consultation and asks if it is bad to show favoritism to old friends over new ones. Sakurako means to say “treat everyone equally” but instead says “It’s normal to prioritize those most important to you.” The student is relieved and thanks her, but whe Hinano arrives, she sees Sakurako upset.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano explains to her that the group split up to find out why Sakurako was acting strange and Emiri learned from Iroha that the Mikazuki group went to the theme park. Sakurako admits she wanted to go with them but kept her commitment. Hinano explains that common sense is not about strict rules and that it is meant to help people share time without causing pain. If following common sense makes Sakurako suffer, she should value her own feelings too. She could have simply asked the group to change the date.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sakurako understands. She decides to quit the counseling room so she can experience new places and things. She has grown and learned and says she will still visit because everyone is still her friend.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako prepares desserts and tea in the counseling room. She invites everyone to thank them and apologize for the shopping trip and explains she made everything herself based on data. The group is impressed and Sakurako tells Hinano she will be her go‑to support system for balancing feelings and common sense. Hinano jokingly asks if this is a bribe, but Sakurako says it is an upfront investment.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call|Defying Destiny: Forbidden Cards Call]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After being banned from fortune-telling by Yachiyo, Mel disobeys and reads her own fortune, which predicts a day of terrible bad luck. Mel panics and locks herself in her room, but Momoko finds her and reminds her of their promise to help at Banbanzai, so Mel reluctantly follows.&lt;br /&gt;
** Along the way, they encounter red lights, near accidents, and a Witch, which they defeat. At Banbanzai, Mel and Momoko make mistakes but Tsuruno fixes them, which Mel realizes is Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; magic negating Mel&#039;s own bad luck. Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mifuyu press Mel to explain and she admits she wanted to predict Yachiyo would go last in an audition to make her pass, and they agree to keep her secret.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo comes home excited because she already passed the audition on her own merit. She figures out Mel was telling fortunes and forgives her with a warning, then buys a cake.&lt;br /&gt;
* After surviving the bad luck day, Mel secretly does another reading. She writes predictions, including that a new Magical Girl will appear near Yachiyo, but she hides them when Yachiyo returns.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, they encounter Raspberry and Mel becomes a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - A Taste of Hospitality|A Taste of Hospitality]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko and Ashley help Mitama film a video about her Coordinator services, whre she explains that she adjusts Soul Gems to draw out hidden potential, that she sees memories during adjustments but keeps them confidential, and that she also sells items for Magical Girls. As payment for the video, Riko gives Mitama an origami dog (Mameji) and Ashley gives her blue candy from her home, both of which Mitama puts in a box.&lt;br /&gt;
** Over time, Mitama receives many gifts from Magical Girls, including Kokoro, Reira, Mito, Felicia, Ayame, Kako, Yachiyo, Karin, Himika, Rika and Emiri, the last of whom says that when people share their favorite things, it means they want to share what they love with Mitama.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama hums happily, which Momoko and Kanagi notice and feel a bad omen. Mitama announces that she wants to share what she loves with everyone and that she plans a party with food that she will cook. She asks Momoko and Kanagi to help.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi says Mitama’s own sister calls her cooking “hellish” and Momoko recalls she has suffered from it too. Mitama offers them homemade candy and after Kanagi tries one, she finds it too intense for kids. Mitama had also attempted a new dish for Momoko, which looked like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” however she noted it tasted better than usual, yet Momoko heard strange things for days afterward. Momoko and Kanagi agree that Mitama’s intentions are good but her methods are dangerous, so they decide they must stop Mitama from cooking to prevent a mass food poisoning scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama shows them a party plan with a buffet, quiz contest, and mini games. The menu includes potato salad, paella, and other dishes. Kanagi looks at the ingredient list and falls over in shock and Momoko also feels sick. They go to pick prizes first, then they shop for ingredients. Mitama loads the basket with many vegetables for the potato salad, and she plans to use avocado and tofu instead of mayonnaise to be healthier. Kanagi asks her to leave out yams due to potential allergies, and Mitama then picks up hand cream to add fragrance to a dish. Kanagi reminds Mitama of the time she used paint as food coloring and Mitama puts the hand cream back.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama cooks a test potato salad which ends up glowing. Momoko and Kanagi taste it; the tubers are overwhelming, but it does not make them pass out. Next is paella, which smells of vanilla extract and tastes extremely bitter. Mitama then serves acqua pazza (with canned beef) and rice omelet with Hamburg steak (with sashimi dusted with soybean flour). Momoko and Kanagi conclude the party will indeed be a living hell if Mitama cooks.&lt;br /&gt;
** They decide to secretly cook all the food themselves, recreating Mitama’s menu with edible ingredients. They recruit Rena and Kaede to test the food and Rena accidentally lets slip that Momoko is with Kanagi. Rena and Kaede realize Mitama can see their memories during an adjustment and flee. Mitama reflects on her past, where she was betrayed by a close friend after transferring from East to West Kamihama, but how even then, Kanagi believed her, and Momoko has always been kind. Mitama wants to trust them, but her old doubts surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, Momoko and Kanagi ask Mitama to let them handle the cooking while she sets up the venue and games. Mitama agrees but feels anxious. She overhears them talking about a cake she secretly baked and hid in the fridge. They also say they need to “dispose of it in secret,” which Mitama misinterprets as a betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama confronts them, asking why they want to throw out her cake. Momoko admits they do not want the other girls to eat Mitama’s food and that they wanted to eat it themselves to spare everyone. Mitama misunderstands this as jealousy and Momoko and Kanagi go along with the misunderstanding rather than hurt Mitama’s feelings. Mitama forgives them and warns them not to sneak her food again. She says they will get a reward if they work hard.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko and Kanagi cook all the food for the party. The dishes look strange (the potato salad glows because of ice cube lights), but they taste delicious. The guests are hesitant at first, but after Rena tries it and declares it good, everyone else follows. The party is a success.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the party, Momoko and Kanagi stay to clean up and Mitama thanks them. She reveals their reward: a private meal made from leftover ingredients, just for the three of them as thanks for their hard work. They join hands and eat together.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin|Yuletide Tale: Where Our Hearts Begin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One winter’s day before Christmas, Rika and Ren go shopping together. The town has no Christmas decorations and people seem depressed. They hear a distressed voice and find Mitama, wearing a Santa&#039;s beard and hat, and she introduces herself as a Christmas Spirit. Mitama says her job is to make everyone happy, but the task is too big. She gives Rika and Ren some of her magic, explaining that the magic requires them to be perfectly attuned to each other, and then she disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, a swallow Familiar appears, claiming to be Mitama’s pupil and Rika names him Chirpie. Chirpie explains that Mitama saved him when he fell from his nest and gave him magic. He can sense cowardly hearts lacking courage and Rika and Ren must drive out ten cowardly hearts to make the town happy. Chirpie leads them to people with cowardly hearts, and eats the symbolic heart afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chirpie leads them to Felicia and Sana, who had accidentally smashed a cake and are now arguing about who should apologize to Yachiyo. Rika and Ren both wish the cake would be restored and their magic repairs the cake. Felicia and Sana apologize to each other and Chirpie eats the cowardly heart.&lt;br /&gt;
** Next, Rena wants to go to an idol event with Kaede but is too stubborn to ask directly. Rika and Ren wish she would be honest and Rena admits she wants Kaede to come. &lt;br /&gt;
** At Emiri’s Counseling Room, Akira is embarrassed to wear a cute Christmas outfit. Rika and Ren wish she would try it on and their magic forces her into the outfit. Nanaka, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and tell Akira she looks cute, and Akira thanks them. &lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri and Akira join Rika and Ren to help, now calling themselves “The Holiday Girls” (HGs). They decide Emiri and Akira will track cowardly hearts while Rika and Ren use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
** They help a girl choose a gift. They encourage a maid nervous about dancing in a Christmas performance. They help a boy who fought with his dad; the boy forgives his father and runs off, but his cowardly heart does not disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren find a young couple who want to marry but are too scared to confess. They receive a message that the boy’s heart finally disappeared. They bring the couple together and the man proposes, this time making two cowardly hearts appear from each one, and after Chirpie eats them, he&#039;s reached ten hearts.&lt;br /&gt;
** Suddenly, Chirpie grows giant and he reveals he is the sum of Rika and Ren’s own cowardly hearts. He uses the collected hearts to summon powerful Witches and Familiars across the town, which the Holiday Girls split up to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren soon find Mitama trapped inside a snow globe created by their magic and Chirpie is also there. Mitama says they must resolve the source of their own weakness and Rika and Ren realize they had had a disagreement before and were unable to communicate. They both say “I wanted to make up” and apologize to each other, making their cowardly hearts vanish and also weakening Chirpie.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika and Ren use a combined attack: “Holiday Spiral Hope” and defeat Chirpie, who quickly shrinks and disappears, alongside the Witches and Labyrinths he created. Mitama explains she was giving Rika and Ren a dual adjustment, and while their fight was real, the magical adventure was part of the adjustment. Rika had lost her phone and Ren went on a family trip without reception. Seeing as they had been unable to contact each other, there&#039;d been a misunderstanding, but now thanks to Mitama, they&#039;d made up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterwards, Rika and Ren practice using their new magic that came with their adjusted outfits to make snow. They find they can only make snow on one rooftop. They decide to travel around Kamihama on Christmas, making snow everywhere they go and they agree to do their best together.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away|Prayers and Play Keep Sickness Away]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;January 3rd:&#039;&#039;&#039; Madoka wakes up early, as she plans to meet Iroha in Kamihama to practice hanetsuki (a traditional badminton game) for a ceremony at Mizuna Shrine, a ceremony which is held to pray for good health. Participants must be middle school students in pairs and Iroha invited Madoka because the other Mikazuki Villa girls are either too old, or invisible to non‑Magical Girls, or Felicia, who refused. Madoka accepts because her whole family caught colds over New Year’s and she wants a blessing for their health.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka boards the train, but service is suspended due to an accident. Homura is on an earlier train that is still running and Madoka tells Homura to go ahead. Madoka arrives two hours late at 10 a.m. where Homura and the Mikazuki Villa girls greet her. They had changed their plans: instead of practicing near Mikazuki Villa, they will have bento lunches at a park near Mizuna Shrine and practice there.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before practice, the group buys New Year’s lucky bags. Madoka’s bag contains grains and black beans (soapnuts). Suddenly, a goose approaches her, then more geese which proceed to then chase Madoka and peck at her bag, wanting the grain. Tsuruno grabs the bag and runs, soon aving the other girls joining into the chaos, until a worker leads the geese away, however the lucky bag ends up destroyed and Madoka’s bad luck seems to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Madoka practice Hanetsuki together, but they struggle with control. Yachiyo offers to train them and she plays against each, teaching them to aim and keep balance. After lunch, they hold a friendly tournament, where Yachiyo wins against Iroha, Madoka beats Homura and Felicia but loses to Yachiyo when her sandal strap breaks. Yachiyo fixes it temporarily and goes home to get spare sandals for her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group goes to Mizuna Shrine and Iroha requests a purification ritual for Madoka to remove her bad luck. The priest performs a simple cleansing and Madoka feels relieved from it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The shrine announces that this year’s selection for the ceremony will not be a tournament, and instead, pairs must keep a rally for 30 seconds and then do an interview. Madoka and Iroha pass the rally easily. In the interview, Madoka says she first wanted to pray for her family’s health, but after seeing many people at the shrine, she now wants good health for everyone. Iroha says her little sister Ui was born with health problems, so she knows health is not guaranteed. They are selected to perform the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the ceremony, the shrine maiden shows them the special shuttlecock made from a soapnut (a nut whose kanji means “child without illness”). The box contains a completely ruined shuttlecock and the spare is also ruined. The shrine maiden goes to consult the priest, as the ceremony may be canceled. Many spectators have gathered, including Asuka, Karin, Emiri, Rika, Ren, and Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka does not want to disappoint everyone and she suddenly remembers the black nuts from her lucky bag. Tsuruno looks up photos online and confirms the nuts are soapnuts. Iroha recalls making shuttlecocks in elementary school and says she knows the process. Felicia kept feathers from the geese that chased Madoka too and the priest lets them use an office and tools. There, they have a hand drill but no clamp, so the shrine maiden finds an old vise. Felicia and Tsuruno try drilling holes; Felicia breaks one soapnut, Tsuruno pierces through. Meanwhile, Madoka succeeds with the vise and Iroha and Sana bind feathers. Madoka applies glue but uses too much on the first try. They succeed with the second attempt, and when they test the shuttlecock in a nearby park, it flies well.&lt;br /&gt;
** The mayor’s speech is delayed by the train suspension, giving them time. The ceremony begins and Madoka and Iroha keep a steady rally. They reach 97 hits, but at 99, the wind blows the shuttlecock away and Madoka runs and hits it back, reaching 100 hits. The crowd cheers and the priest says it has been years since a 100‑shot rally.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the train back, Madoka falls asleep and Homura wakes her when they approach their stop. Madoka thinks about the day, and how everything that seemed like bad luck actually helped make the ceremony a success. She will tell her family that she prayed for their good health and she believes everyone who watched the ceremony, and everyone across the globe, can have a healthy and happy year as well.&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 13th:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mitama is away from her shop, but Tsuruno is there, using the kitchen to make chocolate bonbons with a friend. She plans to surprise everyone at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui arrives for an adjustment, but she finds the shop door open and no one else around. Tsuruno tells her Mitama will not be back for a while, so Meiyui decides to come back later. She asks why Tsuruno is there and she explains she&#039;s making chocolate with a friend who is out shopping for ingredients. Tsuruno invites Meiyui to join them and Meiyui agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha arrives with the shopping and Meiyui is surprised, as she&#039;s heard rumors about Konoha’s poor cooking skills, including an exploding miso soup. Konoha admits she made mistakes in the past but has been practicing, and now she wants to make chocolates that Ayame and Hazuki will love. She explains she&#039;s also studied tempering and the six crystal forms of chocolate. Meiyui apologizes for being skeptical and they begin their attempts at making chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno asks them to dice the chocolate into fine pieces and Konoha pounds the chocolate with too much force, crushing some into dust. They proceed to tempering, and when the melted chocolate reaches 49°C, Tsuruno says to cool it with cold water, but Konoha accidentally splashes water into the bowl. Tsuruno suggests starting over and Konoha tries to melt new chocolate with direct heat and ends up burning it instead. Tsuruno suggests a microwave instead and Konoha sets the microwave for twenty seconds instead of ten, and the chocolate ends up boiling. Meiyui becomes frustrated and she accuses Konoha of not taking the task seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoha insists she has been serious from the start and that Valentine’s Day is her chance to show Ayame and Hazuki how much they mean to her. She points to her outfit, explaining Ayame and Hazuki bought it for her as a gift because she works so hard. Meiyui softens and says the Blue Seas Family gave her new clothes too, and she was truly happy. She apologizes for her earlier words and Konoha also apologizes for getting worked up. Tsuruno herself also apologizes for how she organized and handled the situation and they decide to start fresh.&lt;br /&gt;
** After many redos, they use up all the ingredients, but they finally complete the chocolates.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;February 14th:&#039;&#039;&#039; On Valentine&#039;s Day, Tsuruno gives beautifully wrapped chocolates to Iroha, Yachiyo, Felicia, Sana and Ui at Mikazuki Villa. Everyone finds them delicious. Meanwhile, at the Blue Seas Family headquarters, the family members find wrapped chocolates left for them too and Meiyui reveals they are from her. They thank her and enjoy them as well. Finally, Konoha gives chocolates to Ayame and Hazuki, who are hesitant because they remember Konoha’s past cooking disasters. Konoha explains that Tsuruno and Meiyui helped her this time. Ayame and Hazuki try the chocolates and find them delicious, thanking Konoha for them.&lt;br /&gt;

===Rise of the Waning Moon===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Rise of the Waning Moon|Rise of the Waning Moon]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After becoming a Magical Girl, Kanagi finds that the Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls are chaotic, territorial and that no one wants to cooperate. Kanagi soon steps up as leader, as no one else would, but only two girls show up to her first meeting: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. The three start working together, where Nabiki finds those who needed help, and Sumiha takes care of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, a senior Magical Girl named Juerii Hoshi opposes Kanagi and incites others. Kanagi defeats Juerii in a fight to show her strength, but then Juerii begins attacking other Eastern Magical Girls at random, forcing them to submit. Many want Juerii eliminated, but Kanagi still keeps wanting an amicable solution.&lt;br /&gt;
** Soon, Nabiki decides to confront Juerii alone without telling Kanagi. Sumiha contacts Kanagi for help in the situation, but Kanagi arrives too late, Sumiha’s Soul Gem is shattered and they realize she was dead. Juerii is shocked and Nabiki’s Soul Gem is completely clouded. Nabiki turns into a Witch before Kanagi’s eyes and Juerii is killed by the Witch. Afterwards, Kanagi defeats the Witch, fully learning that a Magical Girl becomes a Witch when she falls to despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later on, Kanagi discovers Nabiki left a letter for Kanagi. She wrote that Kanagi was like the moon rising in the East after a long wait and she asked that their rising moon never go down. Kanagi would read the letter many times and regret never getting to ask why Nabiki threw her life away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One day during lunch break, Kanagi goes to Himika’s classroom, telling her she just wanted to see her face, which Himika finds strange.&lt;br /&gt;
** After work, Kanagi goes to Mitama’s shop, where Himika is already there waiting for Mitama, while Hinano is inside getting an adjustment. Kanagi says she was just passing by, not there for an adjustment and then tells Mitama she wanted to see her. After she leaves, Hinano notices Kanagi is acting strangely and becomes worried. She pays Mitama and leaves, deciding to follow Kanagi because she thinks Kanagi might be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi arrives at a cemetery, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu are already at, visiting Kanae and Mel&#039;s graves. Kanagi says she came to visit her first Magical Girl friends: Sumiha Takane and Nabiki Soyogo. Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask to join her. Meanwhile, Hinano hides nearby and listens because she cannot find the right moment to leave. Kanagi eventually notices her and invites her to join them. Hinano admits she was worried about Kanagi. Kanagi explained how she became the leader of the East and how she learned the truth about Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her story, the sun goes down and soon, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Hinano leave, but Kanagi stays to watch the moon rise. The moon is a waning gibbous that rises two days after a full moon. In Japanese, the “seventeenth night” is spelled like Kanagi’s name, thus they call it a Kanagi Moon. Kanagi looks at the moon and remembers that it looked the same on the night she lost her friends.&lt;br /&gt;

===Finding Our Formula===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magia Exedra Event - Finding Our Formula|Finding Our Formula]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Hinano and Emiri attend a chemistry event. Hinano is excited to see a chemist who reminds her of the woman she idolized as a child—a tall, long-legged lady who taught fun chemistry experiments. Emiri urges Hinano to approach her. Hinano nervously asks to become the chemist&#039;s apprentice. The chemist agrees and offers a month-long internship. Emiri is thrilled for Hinano.&lt;br /&gt;
* One week later, Hinano talks nonstop about the chemist. Emiri teases her but feels a growing heaviness in her chest. She realizes she misses spending time with Hinano, who is now always at the lab.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Emiri confides in Akira, saying she feels lonely and has been getting &amp;quot;heartburn.&amp;quot; Akira suggests it might be loneliness, not heartburn. Meanwhile, Hinano tells Yachiyo that she feels guilty for yelling at Emiri and not noticing she was upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Emiri and Hinano separately decide to apologize to each other. They meet near the lab. They overhear the chemist arguing with her assistant about movie tickets. Hinano realizes the assistant is actually the real professor—they have swapped roles because she is better at public speaking while he does the research. They are also a couple. The chemist explains she acts as his spokesperson so he can focus on his work. She took Hinano as an apprentice because he wanted to mentor someone.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Emiri apologizes to Hinano for knocking over the dangerous chemical and explains she has been feeling lonely. Hinano apologizes for not noticing Emiri&#039;s feelings and for talking only about the lab. Emiri hugs Hinano. Hinano says she will accept the apology if Emiri lets her do something for her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several weeks later, Emiri takes Hinano shopping to find her a mature outfit, wanting to help her become closer to the person she admires. Hinano secretly buys an outfit for Emiri as well. They exchange gifts. Both realize they were trying to make it up to each other. Hinano reflects that while she has not found the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; way to show Emiri she cares, she is getting closer to figuring it out.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic|Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls finish dinner. Tsuruno and Felicia complain about going to the same public pool every summer. Yachiyo receives a phone call from a distant relative who runs a hotel. The relative needs help cleaning the hotel pool because the usual staff are sick. Yachiyo hesitates due to her modeling schedule. The girls offer to help. Yachiyo calls back and confirms they will come.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group arrives at the hotel and Yachiyo&#039;s relative, an older woman, greets them warmly. She says she used to hang out with Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother at Mikazuki Villa. She shows them the pool—a huge lazy river that is very dirty. She asks them to clean it. In exchange, they can use the pool before it opens. She also promises a thank-you treat.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group divides the work. Ui and Sana clean the poolside and kiddie pool. Yachiyo, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Felicia clean the lazy river. Tsuruno and Felicia compete to see who can clean faster, inventing names for their techniques. Yachiyo scolds them for being inefficient. They eventually work together.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha slips and falls but is not hurt. Felicia sprays Yachiyo with the hose and Yachiyo chases her. After a few hours, they finish cleaning. The relative rewards them with fluffy shaved ice.&lt;br /&gt;
** The pool is now clean and filled with water. The girls swim and play. Tsuruno and Felicia bring water guns and spray Yachiyo. Yachiyo chases them and gets out of the pool to walk upstream, eventually catching them. They all have fun.&lt;br /&gt;
** As they leave, the relative thanks them but reveals the pool may not open after all due to unforeseen issues. Everyone is shocked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Magia Exedra Event - Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic|Hotel Pool Rescue: Poolside Panic]]&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls are about to leave when the relative reveals the pool may not open because support staff from the southern islands are delayed by a typhoon. Tsuruno volunteers the group to help until the staff arrives. Yachiyo worries they might cause trouble, but Iroha, Ui, and Sana want to try. They agree to help. Felicia negotiates unlimited pool access and more shaved ice as her reward.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the morning of the next day, the group arrives at the pool for opening day. Yachiyo handles reception. The ticket scanner malfunctions and a line forms. Mitama appears—she had plans with Iroha that were canceled. She offers to help and fixes the scanner by hitting it. The staff member returns and takes over.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama notices Yachiyo has something on her mind and suggests she talk to someone she trusts. Iroha later asks Yachiyo to help with a crowded lunch area. Ui is taking orders with Sana&#039;s invisible help making drinks.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo and Iroha go looking for Tsuruno and Felicia. They find them in a competition to inflate floats—seashells versus flamingos—drawing a large crowd. The video goes viral. Yachiyo admits she was worried about everyone but sees they are doing fine. Iroha tells Yachiyo it is okay to worry because she cares, and they can solve problems together. Iroha notices Yachiyo has been down and offers to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
** A foam machine malfunctions, spewing foam everywhere. A guest slips and falls. The group splits up to clean the foam and help guests. Mitama fixes the machine with a whack. The support staff arrives. The girls finally have time to enjoy the pool.&lt;br /&gt;
** At sunset, Iroha asks Yachiyo what has been bothering her. Yachiyo reveals her social media page has few followers compared to other models. She does not know what to post and is shy about taking selfies. Iroha suggests posting photos of herself and takes pictures of Yachiyo on a float with the sunset. Yachiyo is embarrassed but agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Felicia and Tsuruno want a turn on the float. Everyone climbs on, and Mitama takes a group photo just as they all fall into the water. Iroha loves the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, the pool photos are popular online. Yachiyo&#039;s manager says going to the pool was a good move. Yachiyo thanks Iroha and says she might take her up on being her photographer again. She sends the group photo to everyone. Iroha says the photo may not be &amp;quot;social media-worthy&amp;quot; but it captures who they are. They agree to go back to the pool again—summer is just getting started.&lt;br /&gt;

Tsukuyo researches the costs of a two-person household and is shocked by how expensive it is.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Tsukuyo falls asleep while daydreaming about living with Tsukasa. Her grandmother finds her fantasy budget notebook and accuses her of planning to run away with a boy.

** Flashback (Before Magical Girl). Tsukuyo is overworked with club activities and training. She is exhausted and collapses. She wakes up in the hospital with her sister beside her.

They became close and talked openly with each other for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo too formal and uptight, while Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukuyo was devastated. She received a harsh message from her grandmother, punishing her for being absent without permission. She broke down crying, saying she was not a puppet for her grandmother to order around.&lt;br /&gt;

Tsukuyo meets Mifuyu and learns that Magical Girls turn into Witches. She is horrified that she and Tsukasa will become Witches. She produces a Doppel. Mifuyu explains that the Wings of the Magius are working to save Magical Girls and asks for Tsukuyo&#039;s help. Tsukuyo agrees to discuss it with Tsukasa.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Tsukasa tells Tsukuyo she does not know the details of how the Magius intend to save them. She shares the full ending of the story they studied—the couple takes their own lives because they fear their love will fade. Tsukasa suggests they do the same. Tsukuyo is horrified but realizes they have no other way out.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the night they decide to die, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa meet at the shrine. They decide to destroy their Soul Gems together. They hold hands and count to three. Mifuyu arrives in time to stop them.

&lt;br /&gt;
* (Return to the present) Tsukuyo reflects on how much has happened. She knows she must always be there to support Tsukasa, who can be unpredictable. She dreams of their future together—a happy ending where they live together, free from family, regional disputes, and Magical Girls. She knows it may be a long way off, but as long as she has Tsukasa, she believes they will get their happy ending.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Tsukasa refuses and runs away. She ends up at the shrine, but Tsukuyo is at school. She remembers how she first met Tsukuyo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Flashback (Before Magical Girl). Tsukasa is overworked with school, chores, and finances for the workshop. She is exhausted and collapses. She wakes up in the hospital with her sister beside her.

They discovered they were twins, separated at birth. They became close and talked about their struggles.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, their different upbringings caused conflict. Tsukasa found Tsukuyo stuck-up and obsessed with appearances. Tsukuyo found Tsukasa uncivilized and loud. They stopped seeing each other. Tsukasa&#039;s resentment toward her family grew. She fell into a Witch&#039;s snare but was saved by the stranger from before.&lt;br /&gt;

Mifuyu arrives in time to stop them. She begs them to live and fight for their freedom together. Tsukasa and Tsukuyo agree to join the Wings of the Magius.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsukasa returns home. Her father apologizes for being too harsh. Her marriage interview is postponed until after graduation, and life returns to normal. Tsukasa dreams of her future with Tsukuyo—a happy ending where they can laugh together, free from family, the east-west conflict, and Magical Girls. She knows it is still a long way off, but as long as she has Tsukuyo, she will be okay.&lt;br /&gt;

===Nanaka Tokiwa&#039;s Heartphial Story: Schemes of a Grand Design===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka Tokiwa reflects on her life. Pride and traditions long preserved by the Tokiwa family, head of the Kashin school, were lost. Exacting revenge to reclaim it was how it all began, but she could not have foreseen the true enemy lurking in the shadows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka faces a formidable Boss Witch with her team. They withdraw due to exhaustion. Later, at Blossom, Kako worries about the Witch hurting someone. Nanaka says they need a new strategy.

* The next day, Nanaka meets with Konoha&#039;s team to discuss territorial disputes. Hazuki wants to maintain an agreement that all participants share Grief Seeds equally. Nanaka agrees but only to avoid unnecessary conflict. She sees Hazuki&#039;s personal motives and decides to do her a favor. After the meeting, Nanaka explains to her team that she wanted to observe everyone&#039;s opinions for future use. She reflects on her past—her father fell ill, his pupils took over the school, and the Tokiwa family was left in the dust. On his deathbed, her father asked her to reclaim the school. She wished for the power to evaluate who her enemies truly are. She discovered the true enemy was a Witch she named Locust. She formed a team to seek revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day after the negotiation, Nanaka arranges flowers while thinking about the two main issues: the Boss Witch and the territorial disputes. Meiyui sends her news that a plan has come together.

She meets with Hinano, asks her to keep the incident quiet, and Hinano agrees.&lt;br /&gt;

** Nanaka holds a meeting. Some members want to abolish the agreement because it hinders teamwork. Nanaka agrees to first-come, first-served, adding that the first team to discover a Witch has both the right and duty to defeat it. Her team questions her decision, but she says they will see soon enough.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Hazuki&#039;s team confronts Nanaka. They were forced to defeat the Boss Witch because of the &amp;quot;duty&amp;quot; clause. Hazuki says Nanaka played them. Nanaka admits she knew they could do it. Hazuki says they have scores to settle. Hazuki also mentions the Witch was strange, like it was being manipulated. Nanaka realizes the Locust is not just one Witch—the true enemy is its puppet master.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Several months later (present day) Nanaka reflects that her Locust revenge story is over. The puppet master can no longer do harm. But something else is starting to creep from the shadows of Kamihama City. She will have to find out what comes next.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kako Natsume&#039;s Heartphial Story: N&#039;s Confession===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kako Natsume reflects on her life. She lost Natsume Books and her peaceful days once. But she is no longer the fearful girl she used to be. She is a girl who can choose to protect what is dear to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kako is 13 years old. Her parents run Natsume Books, a used bookstore. Books are a huge part of her life. One day, she sees Nanaka loitering by the mailbox, looking distressed. Nanaka drops a letter in the mailbox and runs off. She tells Kako to read the letter. Kako remembers the words &amp;quot;Kill her&amp;quot; and wonders why.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako recalls her past. Her family was not wealthy, but they were happy. Her father recommended books, and her mother helped her study. Then tragedy struck. A riot over land grabs broke out. Harassment of those who objected got worse. Discord grew within the community and even within their home. Her father was wound tight. Then their house was set on fire. Kako lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
** She met a girl named &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; N told Kako who was responsible and what she needed to do to destroy them. Kako clung to her. She later learned N was manipulative and saw others as pawns. Kako hates N and wants revenge.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka approached Kako and asked if she wanted to catch the arsonist. Kako hesitated. She had actually seen the arsonist but froze in fear. She hated herself for being helpless. She wished she were braver so she could protect the things she cared about.&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka and Kyubey explained that a Witch was behind the arson. To defeat it, Kako would have to become a Magical Girl. She could also get her old life back. Nanaka asked if Kako was ready to die. The words terrified Kako, but she wanted to change.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found herself in a Labyrinth. Nanaka fought off Familiars but was overwhelmed. Kyubey offered Kako the chance to become a Magical Girl. Nanaka told Kako through telepathy to decide for herself what she wanted. Kako realized she hated feeling helpless. She wished to see her family smiling again and to get Natsume Books back. She became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kako learned Nanaka faked her struggle to entrap her into making the wish. Nanaka had pulled this trick on others to use them as pawns. Kako could not forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako and Nanaka fought Witches together. Nanaka encouraged Kako and told her she was better suited to being a Magical Girl than Nanaka was. Kako wanted to get stronger. Nanaka wrote a letter confessing her deception and asking Kako to kill her. Kako made up her mind to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
** However, Kako never killed Nanaka. Nanaka&#039;s family gave Kako a letter Nanaka had written but never sent. Nanaka apologized, but Kako could not forgive her. She felt empty inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako found a book and a letter that mirrored her own circumstances. She showed them to Nanaka. Nanaka asked what Kako thought about &amp;quot;N.&amp;quot; Kako said the author clearly cared about N despite the hatred. Nanaka looked sad. Kako received a letter from Nanaka.

* A few days later, Rena calls Himika. She saw the Baby Bunny pouch in a crane game at an arcade. Himika, Kako, Ayame, Rena, and Kaede go to the arcade. The pouch is in the replenishment case, meaning Himika must win all the Mocha Bunnies already out to reach it. Himika decides to use a strategy but is short on money.&lt;br /&gt;
** Himika observes other players to learn techniques, calling it &amp;quot;crane training.&amp;quot; She strategizes to create an avalanche by knocking down piles of plushies.

Rika messages her to join everyone for snacks. Ren goes to meet them.&lt;br /&gt;

* Three days before the competition, Koshino beats Masara&#039;s record once. The swim club captain praises her. Masara feels something but cannot identify it. She is not annoyed. She does not know what she feels.&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day before the competition, Koshino has an accident and cannot compete. Masara agrees to take her place. She is surprised by her own motivation. Kokoro notices the change.&lt;br /&gt;
* During the competition, Masara swims well. Her team finishes second, but she was in the lead when passing the baton. Koshino comes to watch and thanks Masara for doing the race for her. Kokoro says Masara has changed. Masara decides she wants to keep swimming a while longer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rika Ayano&#039;s Heartphial Story: Haunting Love, Haunting Mistake===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika Ayano reflects on her life. She does not want to feel like she became a Magical Girl for nothing. She got to see what dating is like and made loads of friends. But sins do not wash away so easily. That is the price you pay for a miracle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback, but the entirety seems like mostly a flashback) Kyubey offers Rika any wish in exchange for becoming a Magical Girl. Hinano warns her not to do it, but Rika ignores the advice. She wishes for her best friend and crush, Konoka, to reciprocate her feelings. Her wish comes true. Konoka calls her &amp;quot;Riri,&amp;quot; and they start dating. But Rika feels empty because the love is not natural—Konoka never met the boy she originally liked. Rika feels like she stepped into someone else&#039;s shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika takes her frustration out on Witches. Hinano finds her and asks why she is not happy. Rika admits it is all fake. Hinano listens without judgment.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika and Konoka break up. Rika realizes she tore two people apart out of selfishness. She decides to reunite Konoka with the boy she was supposed to like. With Hinano&#039;s help, Rika switches their student IDs to give them an excuse to meet. They exchange IDs and start talking.&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoka messages Rika about a family BBQ. She accidentally calls her &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; but corrects it to &amp;quot;Rika.&amp;quot; Rika is confused. She notices Konoka is wearing the same lipstick she bought. Konoka asks about a boy Rika was with, claiming a friend has a crush on him. Rika feels a strange tension. She realizes she still has feelings for Konoka and regrets everything.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika sees Konoka reject a boy who asks her out. Konoka says she is still hung up on someone else—another girl. She admits she dated a girl but it did not work out, and she still cannot forget her. Rika realizes Konoka is talking about her. She realizes she gave Konoka the same worries and pain she had. The real price of her wish was not her own emptiness but Konoka&#039;s suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
** Rika decides to end their relationship entirely. She plans to message Konoka to meet up. But Konoka messages first: &amp;quot;Goodbye. Never forget me.&amp;quot; Rika senses a Witch nearby and finds Konoka with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, holding a knife. Konoka says her heart hurts and wants to take it out to stop the pain. Rika stops her, defeats the Witch, and saves Konoka.&lt;br /&gt;
** Konoka wakes up and calls Rika &amp;quot;Riri&amp;quot; again. She says she cannot give Rika up and asks if they can still be best friends. Rika cannot refuse. She realizes she will carry this burden forever. A wish once made can never be taken back. Her wish will forever bind her to Konoka. Their relationship will continue without ever being allowed to end.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rika still thinks about that day. She feels the same as Konoka, but she does not have the right to act on it. She knows she cannot erase her sins. She only got one chance to wish for a miracle, and it is too late to take it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Riko Chiaki&#039;s Heartphial Story: Worked Out with a Woof===&lt;br /&gt;
* Riko Chiaki reflects on her life. Even though her mom and dad were hardly home because of work, she never felt lonely as long as Miss K was around. She cared about her so much that she just wanted to help her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* (Flashback) Riko helps out at her parents&#039; bento store. She is close with Miss K, the daughter of the hardware store owner next door. Miss K has always been like a big sister to her. Miss K cries to Riko that her father opposes her marriage because he does not want her to move far away. Riko wishes to Kyubey for Miss K&#039;s marriage to be accepted. She becomes a Magical Girl. Miss K gets married and moves away. Riko misses her but does not regret her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* (Present) Riko goes filming with Ashley. She tells Ashley about Miss K. She explains that Miss K&#039;s father never fully accepted the marriage, and they have not made up. Riko receives a message from Miss K saying she was in the hospital because she was pregnant. She invites Riko to visit her new house. Riko goes and meets the baby. Miss K asks Riko to be friends with her child. Riko becomes like a big sister to the baby. She feels happy that her wish came true but is sad Miss K and her father never reconciled.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko walks Mameji and sees Miss K&#039;s father standing outside the hardware store, looking sad. She wonders what is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley advises Riko to ask Miss K directly if she wants to make up with her father. Riko texts Miss K and asks to meet. Miss K replies that she will come to Riko&#039;s town instead. Riko is excited.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Miss K visits Riko. They talk about her father. Miss K says she wants to make up with him but does not know how. Riko suggests inviting him to meet the baby, giving him a present, or going on a family trip. Miss K doubts any of it will work. They walk to Riko&#039;s store together. They encounter Miss K&#039;s father outside. Riko admits she asked Miss K to come so they could patch things up.&lt;br /&gt;
** Miss K&#039;s father reveals he brought a herbarium to Riko&#039;s store. It was originally meant as a gift for his grandchild, but he could not bring himself to deliver it. Riko realizes Mameji had been guiding her this whole time. Earlier, Mameji had barked at the cake that turned out to be from Miss K&#039;s father. Riko connects the dots with the herbarium from Blossom, where Konomi works. Miss K&#039;s father finally agrees to visit the baby on the weekend. They reconcile. Miss K and her father thank Riko.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko tells Ashley the whole story. Ashley says Mameji guided Riko the entire time by barking at her until she went in the right direction. Riko thanks Mameji.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mel Anna&#039;s Heartphial Story: My Thoughts at the Very End===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel Anna reflects on her life. It was a short life, but she is glad she was able to be of use in the end. She figured that without anyone to guide them, everyone would be lost in uncertainty. But there is no need to worry anymore, as hope is always by your side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mel reads her fortune. The cards say today will be her lucky day. She is cold and confused, wondering why it feels so cold if it is supposed to be lucky. She realizes she is dying, having protected Yachiyo. She remembers how everyone was fighting for dear life. She wished she were stronger to help them. She is sorry for not being stronger. She sees Yachiyo about to be hit and rushes to protect her. Her Soul Gem is damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her love for fortune-telling. She hated how others made fun of it. She made a contract to become a Magical Girl. She did not like fortune-telling at first, but after a fortune predicted she would need an umbrella, and that umbrella saved her from paint, she became a believer. She started reading fortunes for others. Sometimes people teased her or did not believe her predictions. She wanted to use fortune-telling to help people. She wished to become a master fortune teller whose predictions always come true. Her wish came true, but not as expected. Yachiyo later told her that her power might not read the future—it might make the future she reads come to pass. She felt betrayed. She did not become a Magical Girl for this.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she first became a Magical Girl, she read her fortune every morning and stayed home if it looked bad. Kanagi would drag her out anyway. She resented Kanagi for not believing in her fortunes. But one day, because Kanagi dragged her out, she met Yachiyo, who saved her from a Witch. Kanagi later let her join Yachiyo&#039;s team at Mikazuki Villa.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel read fortunes for everyone at Mikazuki Villa except Tsuruno, who refused. Her predictions came true, and Tsuruno wanted hers read too. Mel refused because her own fortune was bad that day, but she caved. Tsuruno&#039;s fortune was terrible—she would have a stomachache—and it came true. After that, Yachiyo banned Mel from telling fortunes. Mel continued reading in secret. She wrote down her predictions, hoping to prove Yachiyo wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mel remembers her mother calling her a treasure. She cannot go back to her family or to Mikazuki Villa. She imagines Tsuruno worrying about her and Kanagi taking it most to heart. She wishes she had said thank you. She wrote down her predictions about a future in Kamihama: a big change will come, many dots will form a circle, a star will fall near Yachiyo. She will never get to say &amp;quot;I told you so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo tries to get a Grief Seed, but Mel knows it is too late. She is getting colder. Today was supposed to be her lucky day. Dying surrounded by friends is lucky, but Tsuruno, Kanagi, and her parents are not there. She feels cold and dark. She regrets becoming a Magical Girl. She does not want to die. It is not fair. She hates everything. But she stops herself from losing to those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
** Her life was wonderful and so much fun. She managed to save Yachiyo, the leader she looks up to. She is truly happy. She tells Yachiyo not to be too sad. She sees a warm light and hears Yachiyo&#039;s voice, but she cannot go back. She can say she was truly happy. That is enough for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eternal Sakura&#039;s Heartphial Story: Beyond the Promised Day===&lt;br /&gt;
* Eternal Sakura reflects on her existence. Every Rumor begins as a curious tale told by young girls. Among them was one tale infused with a feeling unlike any other. She is that very tale, the story of the &amp;quot;Eternal Sakura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* She was created as a story by Iroha for Ui, Touka, and Nemu—three girls who have been in the hospital since they were young. She started out as a powerless story, but she knew the reason for her creation: to give hope.&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha tells the girls the story of the Eternal Sakura. The girls have drawn out all the places they want to visit on a map of Kamihama. They create a fantasy Kamihama to compare their imaginations with reality once they recover. The Eternal Sakura of Promises is a story about a girl who waits under a sakura tree for her three friends to recover. When they reunite, the tree blooms. Iroha writes their names down. The story becomes part of their fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Eternal Sakura comes to live in Kamihama within Nemu&#039;s notebook pages. She has no form yet and only the vaguest consciousness. She waits for the promised day. She hears the girls&#039; voices from the hospital. She imagines them having fun and playing games. She prays for their laughter to continue forever.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reality is not so kind. Ui is coughing and suffering. Touka and Nemu attend class while Ui remains behind. No matter how much they suffer, they try to act cheerful. Ui asks if they will ever get to grow up. She screams in frustration. Eternal Sakura cannot do anything. She is just a story. All she can do is watch over her.&lt;br /&gt;
** The promised day never comes. Eternal Sakura transitions from &amp;quot;story&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Uwasa.&amp;quot; She gains a form and the ability to speak. She is moved from the notebook to one of Nemu&#039;s books. Other stories become Uwasa as well. They are bound to their Rumors, given instincts in exchange for freedom. A new creation is given malice right from the start. Everyone has forgotten about Ui. Touka and Nemu lose their compassion and become unscrupulous. Eternal Sakura has a form now but still can only wait.&lt;br /&gt;
** When she becomes an Uwasa, she is given a space with a vast meadow around a cherry blossom tree that has yet to bloom. It is the promised land. She imagines Iroha reuniting with Ui, Touka, and Nemu. They run and laugh and embrace. But there is no one there. The cherry blossoms have not bloomed. There is only her.&lt;br /&gt;
** A long time passes. Iroha works tirelessly to get Ui back. Touka and Nemu try to save Magical Girls but go about it in the wrong ways. Their battles finally end, and spring comes. The four girls come to the Eternal Sakura. They have finally made it together. Their reunion took place in the middle of a fight, not as peaceful as imagined. But the spring of reunion has come. Eternal Sakura is satisfied. Her role is done. She is the only Uwasa left with a form. She wonders if she should return to the book. But she would be happier staying with the girls because she loves them.&lt;br /&gt;
** After completing her role, she is given a new human form. Her name is Sakurako Hiiragi. She connects to a server and receives data about human society. She is sent to Mikazuki Villa to learn about daily life. She makes fried rice and folds laundry. She helps Iroha and Ui with housework. But she causes trouble and is sent to school. She wants to spend more time with the girls, but they will not even go to the same school.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the way back from school, she reveals her battle form—made to protect them based on server data. She wants to be useful. She sulks after gaining human form because reality is different from fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano asks if she ran away from school. Eternal Sakura apologizes for causing trouble. She says she will give school a real try. It is not what she wanted, but it is not so bad. Hinano and Ryo are there. She goes to apologize to Ryo and to accept that friends often cause each other problems but also support each other.&lt;br /&gt;
** Born as a story and made into an Uwasa, she still finds human society confusing. But she does not hate it. She gets to find out for herself what is important to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae Yukino&#039;s Heartphial Story: What My Life Meant===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae Yukino reflects on her life. Her stern looks have brought her nothing but trouble. But Yachiyo and the others are different—they have always treated her kindly. They taught her that life has some good in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds an abandoned cat. It reminds her of herself—rejected for having a nasty look in its eyes. She cannot bring herself to take it home because bad things always happen to everyone who gets in her orbit. But she contacts Yachiyo and brings the cat to Mikazuki Villa. They decide to look after it until they find someone to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
** Kanae recalls how she was wilder before coming to Mikazuki Villa. She did not ask to be born with an intimidating face, but it got her lumped in with unsavory characters. She fought back against them, getting into scuffles every day. She only made her contract because of a fight.&lt;br /&gt;
** She chased a guy to Daito and was attacked by Kanagi Izumi, who mistook her for poaching. Yachiyo and Mifuyu defused the situation. Kanae collapsed from using too much magic. She woke up at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo gave her a Grief Seed from Kanagi. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma gave her a tangerine. The warm, kind gaze was so refreshing. Kanae started hanging around Yachiyo and the others more and more.&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to stop making tense faces and to let her genuine, sweet side show. The cat slowly gets used to them. Kanae names her Gabby, wishing for her to find her voice and feel safe. The days are peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
* The day to say goodbye comes sooner than expected. A former boarder will adopt Gabby. Kanae decides not to return until Gabby is gone, thinking her presence will only bring suffering. She remembers the day she became a Magical Girl. A guy she had fought took her junior hostage. Kanae made a contract with Kyubey and wished to erase his whole syndicate from reality. Her wish was granted, but the guy just joined another group. She has been keeping her distance from her junior ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae investigates the person adopting Gabby. She sees the woman is kind and will take good care of her. Yachiyo calls to say Gabby is not feeling well. Kanae rushes back. Gabby perks up as soon as she arrives. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells Kanae to cherish the moment and live true to her heart. Kanae decides to say goodbye properly.&lt;br /&gt;
* They throw Gabby a farewell party and spend happy days together. When the time comes, Gabby&#039;s new owner asks to keep the name Kanae gave her. Kanae says goodbye. She runs off, overwhelmed with sadness.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds Gabby&#039;s scent still lingering at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo&#039;s grandma tells her that even after a storm, the scent of blossoms lingers. Goodbyes are part of life, but memories warm the heart. Kanae wants to give back to the important people in her life. She learns to make a pressed flower bookmark. She also writes lyrics for Yachiyo and the others. The lyrics are left unfinished and unseen.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae has many regrets—dying before grandma, never apologizing to her junior, never saying goodbye. But she truly believes her life did leave something behind. She was able to protect Yachiyo. She was truly happy. She asks everyone to be happy too. She says goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ashley Taylor&#039;s Heartphial Story: Can&#039;t Be Myself Without What I Love===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley Taylor reflects on her life. Studying in Japan is awesome fun. She wants to find more kawaii for her vlog viewers back home and asks her father to watch over her while she pursues her passions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley vlogs with Riko&#039;s help. She films herself shopping for Magical Kirin merch and gurokawa items. After editing and uploading the video, she replies to comments from her followers. She thinks about her father and hopes he is watching.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley remembers the day she wanted to study abroad in Japan. Her father refused without giving a clear reason, which was unusual. Kyubey appeared and offered to grant any wish. Ashley wished for her father&#039;s permission to study abroad. Her wish came true, and she became a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
** In Japan, Ashley struggled with not knowing the real reason for her father&#039;s objection. Riko helped her make a video to show her father her passion. Her father watched it and said he was glad he let her go. He told her to do what she loves and make her mark on the world.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ashley received a package from her father containing a gurokawa teddy bear named Kumanosuke. A card said he found it and wished her the best. Her mother later video-called to tell Ashley her father had passed away. He had been ill and kept it from her so she would not worry. Ashley felt terrible for using her wish to change his mind. She regretted studying abroad. But she found her father&#039;s card and remembered his words. She decided to live her life and make him proud.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Riko notices Ashley seems down. She worries Ashley is overworking herself by vlogging daily and replying to comments late at night. Ashley says it does not feel like work because she loves it. She thanks Riko for being a kind friend. They go out to film another vlog.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ashley continues vlogging daily. She worries about skipping a day because her followers might unfollow her. She wakes up to find Kumanosuke missing. She panics, feeling like her world is ending. Riko arrives with a bento and finds Ashley crying. Ashley explains she lost Kumanosuke. Riko comforts her and says it is okay to skip a vlog. Ashley admits she has been using followers&#039; comments to fill the hole left by her father&#039;s death. Riko says she understands loss—she misses her sister who moved far away. They decide to search for Kumanosuke.&lt;br /&gt;
** Riko suggests Ashley ask her followers for help finding Kumanosuke. During a live stream, a commenter suggests rewatching her previous vlog. Ashley realizes she left Kumanosuke on a chair when she got distracted by a crane machine. They find Kumanosuke on a shelf at the store, dressed in Waloli Gurokawa clothes. Ashley gets him back. She thanks her followers and Riko. She realizes she lost sight of herself and promises to pace herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, Ashley uploads a new vlog. She thanks everyone for their help. She says she was working herself too hard and will upload less often but with more fun content. Riko says her followers are understanding. Ashley agrees and decides to continue hunting for kawaii while having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kush Irina&#039;s Heartphial Story: Irreversible Code===&lt;br /&gt;
* During an adjustment session, Mitama attempts to tune Kush&#039;s Soul Gem, but the process fails. Mitama&#039;s consciousness is pulled into the depths of Kush&#039;s mind, where she finds Kush wandering in a strange space, unable to remember her own name. Kush only recalls the name &amp;quot;Aneka&amp;quot; and that she was known as the &amp;quot;Last Inquisitor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama explains that Kush&#039;s memories are scattered across her mind, likely due to the interrupted tuning. To restore Kush&#039;s memory and escape, they must locate and open memory doors. Each door requires solving a code or riddle.&lt;br /&gt;
*** First Door: Morse Code. They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;OPEN→□□□ ■□□■ ■ □■ Password?&amp;quot; Mitama realizes the white squares are &amp;quot;dah&amp;quot; and black squares are &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; in Morse code. They try knocking &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; in Morse, but it fails. They try &amp;quot;open sesame&amp;quot; in Morse, also failing. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; again and the door opens, revealing Kush&#039;s consciousness. Kush begins to remember her name.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Second Door: Prime Number Cipher. They find another door with a coded string: &amp;quot;PFARBILMENEUOMBEFRFLETA TERSPRREOVIDEWANSEWLERSL □■■□■□■□□ Password?&amp;quot; Kush recognizes the black squares correspond to prime-number positions (2, 3, 5, etc.). Reading the letters at prime positions spells &amp;quot;fable of farewell.&amp;quot; The remaining letters form the clue &amp;quot;prime number letters provide answers.&amp;quot; They input &amp;quot;fable of farewell&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a memory of Kush in school, struggling to stay awake during a math exam. She remembers the problem was from the Fable of Farewell book series. Kush regains more of her identity.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Third Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Two truths, one lie. A) If you get the password wrong, the door will be closed forever B) The password is &#039;purge&#039; C) A-C are all lies.&amp;quot; Kush reasons that C must be the lie because if C were true, then A and B would also be lies, contradicting &amp;quot;two truths.&amp;quot; Therefore A and B are true, and the password is &amp;quot;purge.&amp;quot; The door opens, revealing a memory of Kush meeting Aneka as a child abroad. They bond over the Fable of Farewell series and later become friends. Aneka teaches Kush about Magical Girls. Kush wishes to Kyubey: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want morning to come anymore,&amp;quot; making her unable to see daylight.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fourth Door: They find a door with a note: &amp;quot;Knock 12 [□:0 ■:1] • Curse (29)→Cure • Friend (47)→Fiend.&amp;quot; They convert the numbers to binary (29 = 11101, 47 = 101111) and extract the letters from the words using 1s as positions. They realize they need to knock &amp;quot;12&amp;quot; in binary (1100) as taps and thuds. Mitama knocks &amp;quot;tap-tap-thud-thud&amp;quot; and the door opens, revealing a book.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Mitama opens the book, causing the same disruption that originally failed the tuning. Inside is Kush&#039;s darkest memory. Flashback: Aneka&#039;s sister died of an incurable illness. Aneka wished for a friend to fill the void and Kush moved in next door. Aneka treated Kush as her friend, not a replacement. Later, Aneka learned the truth about Soul Gems and regretted encouraging Kush to become a Magical Girl. Aneka disappeared. Kush fought a Witch and used its Grief Seed. Kyubey told Kush that the Grief Seed was actually Aneka&#039;s Soul Gem—Kush had killed Aneka. Kush screamed in denial.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Kush is trapped inside the book, facing the same Witch—Aneka&#039;s Witch form. She fights it again and defeats it, purging the &amp;quot;cursed entity.&amp;quot; Afterward, Kush insists that Magical Girls do not become Witches; Witches are merely curses from impure Soul Gems, and she simply &amp;quot;purged&amp;quot; Aneka&#039;s impurity. Mitama realizes Kush has repressed the truth to cope. The final page of the book holds the encoded truth, but Mitama decides to put the book back behind the door, leaving the truth locked away.&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and Kush wake up. Kush is embarrassed that Mitama saw her memories. Mitama promises confidentiality. Kush cries, reflecting on her vow to never look back but acknowledging the pain. She accepts that Aneka is gone but believes Aneka would forgive her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope===&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo finds an old photo album while cleaning. She shows it to Iroha, Tsuruno, Sana, Felicia, and Ui. The photos are from seven years ago, when Mikazuki Villa was a boarding house. Iroha notices a girl standing next to Yachiyo and her grandmother—it is Mifuyu with long hair. Yachiyo explains she knew Mifuyu back then and they fought Witches together. Tsuruno is shocked and Yachiyo says they did not leave a good first impression on each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seven Years Ago&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo fights her first Witch. She is scared but determined. Inside the barrier, she finds another Magical Girl crying. The girl is too frightened to fight. Yachiyo tries to cooperate, but the girl runs away. Yachiyo defeats the Witch alone. Afterward, she confronts the crying girl and tells her that if she cannot fight, she should quit. The girl begs Yachiyo not to leave her alone. Yachiyo is harsh but later realizes she is also scared. Both girls cry alone, afraid of being Magical Girls.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo is the leader of her model unit. The other members are starting to trust her. One member, Yellow, still does not approve of Yachiyo as leader. Yachiyo continues working hard. After her lesson, she defeats a Familiar. She encounters Mifuyu again. Mifuyu says she felt the Familiar&#039;s presence but was too scared to enter the barrier. Yachiyo is harsh again, but Mifuyu says she wants to talk properly. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives and invites Mifuyu to a candy store. Mifuyu has never been to one before. She is amazed by the syrup. The grandmother invites her to visit Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s unit has a successful photoshoot. She feels happy. Later, she senses a powerful Witch and enters the barrier. Two other Magical Girls are already fighting it. Yachiyo asks to join them, but they attack her. They say the Witch is their prey and threaten her. Mifuyu appears and says they should cooperate. The other girls ignore her and lure the Witch toward Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Mifuyu protects Yachiyo and gets injured. They escape together and rest in a park. Yachiyo shares her grief seed with Mifuyu. They introduce themselves. Yachiyo learns Mifuyu comes from a strict family with nine lessons. Mifuyu became a Magical Girl to dream freely. They bond over their shared struggles. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to visit again.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu visits Mikazuki Villa. She brings sweets. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother shows the album and the magazine featuring Yachiyo&#039;s unit. The older boarders ask Mifuyu for a cute nickname for Yachiyo. Mifuyu suggests &amp;quot;Yacchan.&amp;quot; Yachiyo likes it. That night, a Witch appears near the station. They fight together and save a boarder from Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo suggests they team up because they are both weak and will become stronger together. Mifuyu agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days later, Yachiyo and Mifuyu continue patrolling. Mifuyu&#039;s parents increase her lessons because they suspect she is sneaking out to play. Yachiyo feels guilty. They decide to reduce patrols for the next week.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo&#039;s manager tells her the unit will be disbanded at the end of the month. Yachiyo is devastated. Her wish to keep the unit alive was meaningless. She meets Mifuyu at the candy store. Mifuyu has been scolded and had her phone taken away. She says she cannot endure her life anymore. Yachiyo blames herself for dragging Mifuyu around. A Witch appears. They fight it, but two other Magical Girls show up and attack them. The Witch kills one of them. Yachiyo and Mifuyu fight the Witch together and defeat it. The surviving Magical Girl takes the grief seed and leaves. Yachiyo and Mifuyu are broken. They ask Kyubey to let them quit, but he refuses.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo finds a grief seed left behind by the surviving Magical Girl. She realizes she saved the girl&#039;s life. Mifuyu says that even though their wishes were meaningless, they are still alive and can protect what is important. Yachiyo recalls her grandmother&#039;s words about leaving feelings behind through letters. She decides she and Mifuyu should exchange letters to leave their feelings behind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day at Mikazuki Villa&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu continue looking through the photo album. Mifuyu says the letters were their hope and their weakness. She suggests they stop exchanging letters because they are now seniors who must be strong. Yachiyo refuses. She says the letters keep her tied to reality and give her hope. Mifuyu agrees to continue. They find an old letter Yachiyo wrote. Yachiyo says she will write this year&#039;s letter. Mifuyu promises to write one too. They vow to exchange letters forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Yachiyo &amp;amp; Mifuyu&#039;s Starting Out Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae finds a card that fell from the mailbox addressed to Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. She brings it inside. She offers to make tea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother thanks her and says it feels like watching her own grandchild grow up, just like when Yachiyo first made tea for her. She recalls Yachiyo&#039;s first dish was miso soup, and her first present was a ticket for a shoulder massage. She mentions that since Yachiyo became friends with Mifuyu, they started celebrating her birthday every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: 6th Grade&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu meet at the Tomorrow Shop to plan a birthday gift for Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother. Mifuyu suggests a kimono or ring, but they cannot afford it. Yachiyo suggests cookware, but Mifuyu thinks it is not special enough. The shop owner suggests they think about what would make her happy to receive from them. Yachiyo remembers her grandmother often looks at old photo albums. They decide to buy a photo album.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3 days before the birthday, Yachiyo calls Mifuyo over to practice making a cake. They buy ingredients for the final cake and two practice rounds. Yachiyo&#039;s sponge does not rise well, but Mifuyu says it tastes delicious. They clean up before everyone returns. Yachiyo invites Mifuyu to help with the birthday dinner surprise. The grandmother returns with a large paper bag—the neighborhood association held an early birthday celebration for her. Mifuyu cries, feeling their plans were ruined. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says the real celebration is in three days and asks them to make an extravagant feast. They agree to leave the dinner and cake to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: University Student Era&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu were spoiled by an older boarder at Mikazuki Villa who acted like their big sister. The older girl became distant. Yachiyo and Mifuyu tried to cheer her up by making her favorite side dish: shredded chicken and cucumber with plum seasoning. The older girl thanks them and admits she is in love and nervous about a date. Yachiyo offers to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flashback: Date Planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Mifuyu research date spots and love advice. Mifuyu asks her mother about love, but her mother dismisses it as silly daydreams. Yachiyo asks a senpai at her modeling job for advice and learns about recommended shops and date spots. They feel inexperienced and worry they are troubling their big sister more than helping. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother suggests they share everything they have learned at once and let their big sister work out her own solution. Yachiyo shares her research. The older girl decides to invite her love to a modern art museum and a sweets shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
* The older girl gets stood up. She waits until nighttime without messaging anyone. Yachiyo blames herself for giving bad advice. The older girl says it was her own idea. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says these things happen and they must keep going forward. They have dinner. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says humans love to explore new feelings, and before long, Yachiyo will find someone special too.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and her grandmother attend Mifuyu&#039;s koto recital. Mifuyu is nervous and misses a note. Audience members whisper criticism. Yachiyo wants to cheer Mifuyu up but waits outside the assembly hall to avoid causing disruption. They cannot find Mifuyu afterward. Yachiyo sends an email, but Mifuyu does not reply for a week. Yachiyo decides to visit Mifuyu&#039;s house.&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mifuyu&#039;s house, Mifuyu&#039;s mother answers the door and says Mifuyu has a cold. Yachiyo insists something is wrong. Mifuyu&#039;s mother accuses Yachiyo of being a negative influence and says Mifuyu disgraced the Azusa name. Yachiyo argues that Mifuyu has been practicing hard and deserves her mother&#039;s support. Mifuyu appears and defends Yachiyo as her first and most precious friend. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother arrives, apologizes for Yachiyo&#039;s behavior, and asks that they at least be able to contact Mifuyu once per day. Mifuyu&#039;s mother agrees but forbids visits. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother tells Mifuyu they will be waiting at home with open doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Present Day&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae realizes Yachiyo and Mifuyu have always worked hard for others. She feels she only causes trouble. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother reassures her that no child never causes trouble. Yachiyo returns home with Mifuyu. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother begins to tell a story about the first time Yachiyo met Mifuyu&#039;s mother. Yachiyo asks her grandmother to tell it because she cannot trust herself to talk about it calmly. Her grandmother recounts the recital incident.&lt;br /&gt;
** After the story, Yachiyo and Mifuyu notice Kanae has been avoiding them. Yachiyo says they figured it out from her student ID. They want to celebrate Kanae&#039;s birthday and get to know her better. Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother says they can make new memories together. Mifuyu says being near Yachiyo and her grandmother makes her feel relaxed. Kanae agrees. Yachiyo suggests they go out together to look for things Kanae might like. It will be the first time all four of them go out together. Mifuyu says it is because of Yachiyo that she is there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kanae&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae grows up with a face that invites harassment, leading to constant fights. After a thug she defeated takes her only friend hostage, she contracts with Kyubey and wishes for the eradication of that gang. She distances herself from that friend and later chases the thug into Kanagi&#039;s territory, where she fights Kanagi after being mistaken for a poacher. Their battle moves into Yachiyo&#039;s territory, where Yachiyo and Mifuyu intervene and mediate. Kanae passes out from her injuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kanae Yukino#Side Story|Kanae&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She recovers at Yachiyo&#039;s home, where Yachiyo&#039;s kind grandmother warms her heart. After healing, Kanae lingers outside wanting to see the grandmother again, and Yachiyo knowingly invites her home. This begins her life with the Nanamis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanae joins Yachiyo and Mifuyu&#039;s team, and Grandma&#039;s advice helps her grow: stop frowning and focus on what she wants. She joins the K-on club, plays rock music, and enjoys her time with friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, Kanae returns home with band mates. Mifuyu warns her of a nearby Witch, and they hear a scream. Kanae chases a van taking her friends and finds them at the same place Kohai was once held, with the same thug responsible. She knocks the thug out, and Mifuyu notes the thug was kissed by the Witch. Kanae calls the police, and her friends are no longer afraid of her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu informs Kanae that grandma is hospitalized. Kanae decides to hunt the Witch to protect others, leaving grandma with Yachiyo. Mifuyu joins her, and they struggle against the powerful Witch. Yachiyo arrives with news that grandma is alright, and together they defeat it. At the hospital, grandma hopes these kind girls will be there when it is time for her funeral.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in the present, Kanae&#039;s ghost apologizes to grandma for going first. She has no regrets, having chosen to give her life willingly, and thanks the Nanamis and Mifuyu for helping her become a better person.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kanaess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Momoko Togame&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko attends the Toyozuru Festival, where a tearful girl named Sumire confesses she wishes to save someone. Momoko feels ashamed of her own selfish wish for courage to confess her feelings. Later at home, her family teases her about love, and she flees to school. On the way, she finds a notebook with a pressed flower, then senses a Witch. She struggles in the fight until Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa rescue her. They invite her to join their team, but Momoko declines, feeling unworthy. She resolves to grow stronger as a Magical Girl.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko hears news of a girl found unconscious in Toyozuru City. After school, she senses another Witch and rushes to help, only to find Yachiyo and Mifuyu losing badly. She joins the fight, and together they defeat the Witch. Impressed by her growth, Yachiyo asks Momoko to come to her place to discuss something important.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, Momoko is surprised to find Sumire there. Sumire explains she is an apprentice Magical Girl from Toyozuru, where several Magical Girls have become spiritless, unable to move or speak. The group suspects a powerful Witch is responsible and driving other Witches into Kamihama. They agree to investigate together, meeting at the station the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
* The group travels to Toyozuru. They visit a hospitalized Magical Girl who is barely conscious. Following Yachiyo&#039;s magical trace, they fight endless Familiars but the Witch escapes. Sumire brings everyone to her house and shows a detailed map recording Witch appearances and incidents. She theorizes the Witch disappears after each encounter and only appears under certain conditions. They decide to stay overnight and have dinner. Momoko cooks fried rice, and they share stories about their families and grandmothers&#039; cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they hunt the Witch again. After defeating more Familiars, they finally enter the Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, but the Witch vanishes once more. Sumire suggests giving up for the day and they return to her house. Over dinner, Momoko learns that a Magical Girl&#039;s magic is tied to her wish. Yachiyo suspects Momoko&#039;s magic might be encouraging others, noting how her presence and cooking lift their spirits. Momoko feels self conscious but accepts the idea. The group prepares for bed, ready to continue the search tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after staying at Sumire&#039;s house, Momoko wakes up early to help with breakfast while Sumire shares her latest hypothesis about the Witch&#039;s pattern: it appears only in locations with a spotlight-like brightness. The group hunts Familiars and follows them to a dark main road near Sumire&#039;s home. They enter the Labyrinth, but when Momoko charges recklessly, she freezes in fear. Sumire, despite being only an apprentice, rushes in with her bat and attacks the Witch, allowing the others to carry Momoko to safety. The Witch escapes again, and they agree to meet again tomorrow after school. That evening, Momoko returns home feeling deeply ashamed and jealous of Sumire&#039;s courage and selfless wish. Her mother encourages her with a spicy rice omelet, and Momoko slaps herself awake, then gives her depressed brother a harsh pep talk that also lifts her own spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Momoko arrives at the meeting point with renewed determination. Sumire reveals her refined hypothesis: the Witch always appears where a single light source stands out in darkness, like a spotlight. She predicts the clock tower at night will be the next site. That evening, they wait as nearby buildings go dark, leaving only the illuminated clock tower. The Witch appears, stronger than before. Yachiyo and Mifuyu suddenly collapse, rendered spiritless, while Momoko defeats what turns out to be only an offshoot Witch. With the two veterans unconscious, Sumire admits her theories are now uncertain. Momoko, overwhelmed by jealousy, lashes out at Sumire, then runs off. She spirals into paranoid suspicion that Sumire might be a Witch&#039;s minion, but rushes back to Sumire&#039;s house to protect Yachiyo and Mifuyu. She finds Sumire guarding them with her bat. Momoko breaks down, apologizing for her jealousy and confessing that Sumire is smarter, braver, and more selfless than her; everything Momoko wished for but couldn&#039;t become. Sumire replies softly that she has always known, because she was jealous of Momoko too.&lt;br /&gt;
** That same night, after Momoko apologizes for her jealousy, Sumire confesses she was jealous of Momoko too for being a full-fledged Magical Girl who can fight alongside Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Both realize they want what they don&#039;t have, but share the desire to save everyone. Sumire agrees to help Momoko strategize. She gives Momoko a flashlight to lure the Witch, and a ledger analyzing Momoko&#039;s fighting style, noting her high attack power and courage but tendency to rush in. Yachiyo briefly regains consciousness, mumbles &amp;quot;fried rice,&amp;quot; and hints that Momoko&#039;s magic is tied to the feeling she had when cooking. Mifuyu also wakes up and, though weak, confesses that her own wish to escape a hated reality was selfish, but that becoming a Magical Girl led her to meet Yachiyo and others, proving that what matters isn&#039;t the wish itself but how you choose to live afterward. The Witch attacks again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko gets hit and experiences a strange vision of an unfamiliar girl waking someone up by blasting heavy metal music. She snaps back to reality, now understanding that her magic is encouragement, and she can give strength to others, though she struggles to turn it on herself. With Yachiyo and Mifuyu still weakened, they combine forces: Momoko boosts everyone with her magic, Mifuyu casts an illusion to make Momoko feel stronger, and Sumire uses her bat. In a desperate moment, Sumire counters a direct Witch attack with a perfect swing, which she attributes to batting center practice. Together they defeat the Witch. News arrives that the hospitalized girl has regained consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;
** The group celebrates at Mikazuki Villa with a kimchi hot pot that Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu made together based on Sumire&#039;s grandmother&#039;s recipe. Sumire is moved to tears by the taste. Yachiyo officially invites Momoko to join their team, and Momoko accepts. Sumire asks to continue staying at Mikazuki Villa while her parents are away, and Yachiyo agrees. As they eat and laugh, Yachiyo reflects on how lively the villa has become, and privately notes that Momoko&#039;s strange dream of someone waking another person with loud rock music, matches a prank that Kanae used to play, even though Momoko never knew Kanae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tsuruno Yui&#039;s Memory===&lt;br /&gt;
* A gossip stream announces the sudden retirement of Toyozuru idol duo Plume Plenty, hinting at a possible scandal. Meanwhile, a girl named Fuka Higure, who is revealed to be a Magical Girl, reads about it and later heads to Sumire&#039;s house. There, Tsuruno, Sumire, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko are playing rock paper scissors. They plan a sleepover at Sumire&#039;s place. Momoko receives urgent messages from Rena about the idol duo, who are apparently Magical Girls and have gone missing. Momoko decides to leave to check on Rena, promising to practice combos with Tsuruno another time. The rest of the group travels to Toyozuru and settles in at Sumire&#039;s house, where they read books and eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko meets Rena and Kaede in Kamihama. Rena explains that Plume Plenty posted a cryptic message about wishes, a pact with a devil in white, and false hope, suggesting they were Magical Girls. They decide to search for the idols in Toyozuru, focusing on a seaside park that appears often in their posts. While asking for directions, they encounter a girl in a school uniform who turns out to be Fuka Higure. Fuka leads them toward the park, but they sense a Witch. Together they defeat it and split the Grief Seed. Fuka introduces herself as a Toyozuru Magical Girl and agrees to keep an eye out for the missing idols. The group continues to the park but finds no trace of them.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Mifuyu steps out from Sumire&#039;s house to buy groceries and make a phone call. She reminisces about past happiness with Yachiyo, Kanae, and Yachiyo&#039;s grandmother, remembering Kanae&#039;s death and the pain of losing her. Shaking off the memories, she senses a powerful magic nearby and goes to fight a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the park, Rena starts doubting her concerns, thinking the idols may have simply retired to focus on school. Kaede sees an online rumor that confirms that, but then a gossip stream reveals that Plume Plenty is actually missing and the police are investigating. Momoko decides they will resume the search in Toyozuru tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;
** Alone, Fuka talks with Kyubey about her desire to protect what matters most, admitting she is no hero of justice. She then senses danger and rushes off, arriving just in time to save one person but not another. She later speaks on the phone, mentioning that she used magic on someone who saw too much and is keeping that person sedated.&lt;br /&gt;
** At Sumire&#039;s house, Yachiyo dozes off while reading and has a vivid dream about Kanae and her grandmother, reliving the warmth of those days and the tragedy of Kanae&#039;s death. She wakes abruptly to find Tsuruno and Sumire also having fallen asleep. They realize Mifuyu still has not returned from shopping, nearly an hour late. Yachiyo sends a message but gets no reply. Worried, they go out to search for her. They check the store where she might have gone but find nothing. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to head back to the house while she continues looking alone, refusing to let them worry further.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Tsuruno wakes up first at Sumire&#039;s house and finds an envelope with magic on it that was slipped through the mail slot. Inside is a letter stating, &amp;quot;I have Mifuyu Azusa. At the park by the sea at 8:00 tonight, she will be returned to you.&amp;quot; Tsuruno wakes Yachiyo and Sumire, and they confirm the letter is from an unknown Magical Girl. They call Momoko, who has an alibi having been with Rena and Kaede all night, and who says she ran into Mifuyu while she was out shopping. The group decides the kidnapper is a stranger. They question local rookie Magical Girls from Yuhicho, who say there are no veteran Magical Girls left in Toyozuru and that no one local would dare pick a fight with Yachiyo. Yachiyo tells Tsuruno and Sumire to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede continue searching for the missing Plume Plenty idols. A rookie Magical Girl tells them she saw a veteran Magical Girl the previous night who might have been Mifuyu, and warns that veterans are being targeted in Toyozuru. They then see a new post from Plume Plenty: &amp;quot;We know everything now... today at the place where we made our wish, the truth will be told... I&#039;m so sorry, everyone.&amp;quot; The post seems to reference Humpty Dumpty and the shattering of an egg, which Yachiyo recognizes as a metaphor for a broken Soul Gem. Yachiyo calls Momoko, and they agree to meet at the seaside park where the idols made their wish and where Mifuyu was last seen.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the park, the two groups converge. They hear two girls arguing, one with short hair and one with long hair. The long-haired idol runs off alone, and Yachiyo&#039;s group follows her, but she enters a crowded area and disappears. Momoko&#039;s group finds the long-haired idol collapsed and spiritless on the ground. She briefly revives, blaming herself and saying she must find her partner to end everything, then collapses again. Fuka Higure appears, thanks Tsuruno for the Grief Seed she shared earlier, and coldly announces, &amp;quot;I was able to let her die.&amp;quot; Rena is devastated, and Momoko confronts Fuka, who claims she didn&#039;t actually kill the girl. Fuka then uses her magic to render Yachiyo spiritless and flees with the idol&#039;s body. Tsuruno gives chase.&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno chases Fuka through the city. Fuka leads her back to the park, where Tsuruno discovers Mifuyu lying spiritless. Fuka admits she took Mifuyu but says she always planned to return her, and that her actions were for protection, not malice. She refuses to explain further, saying some things are better left unsaid. Tsuruno tries to reason with her, but Fuka escapes into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Momoko arrives to help, and together they corner Fuka. Despite Momoko&#039;s encouragement magic countering the spiritless effect, Fuka summons a wall of Familiars to shield herself and escapes again, taking the dead idol&#039;s body with her, claiming she still has more to do to save her. They recover Mifuyu, but Yachiyo remains unconscious. The group decides to return to Kamihama for now, with Sumire joining them, as Toyozuru has become too dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo wakes from a nightmare about Kanae and learns that Fuka Higure is the one behind the spiritless magic. She scolds Tsuruno for chasing Fuka alone, then reveals that she once had another friend named Kanae who died in a reckless charge against a Witch. Tsuruno reassures Yachiyo that they are all friends and should share burdens. The group decides to stay overnight at Mikazuki Villa. Late that night, Tsuruno and Sumire talk over tea; Sumire says she still wants to become a Magical Girl who can save someone, while Tsuruno reaffirms her goal to restore Banbanzai and decides they should all grow stronger together.&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Momoko wakes early and finds Sumire already preparing hot pot. While talking, Momoko remembers the pressed violet bookmark she found long ago, which Sumire confirms is hers. Momoko naps on the sofa and wakes to find Sumire gone, leaving a note: “Thank you so much for everything. You probably won’t be seeing me around anymore. This was my decision, so please don’t look for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some time later, a new Magical Girl named Mel Anna comes to live at Mikazuki Villa, bringing back its lively atmosphere. The group stops discussing Sumire or Toyozuru. Mel Anna wins a hot spring vacation raffle but asks to stay at the villa while her parents go alone, as she fears staying with Kanagi. Yachiyo agrees and prepares a room for Mel, which is the same room Sumire used. While cleaning, Yachiyo finds a pressed flower bookmark in a book Sumire left behind. She recognizes it as one Kanae made, imbued with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo falls asleep and dreams Kanae’s memories: Kanae made the bookmark for a junior in the Beautification Committee, which is Sumire. The dream shows Kanae and Sumire walking home together, planning to attend a festival in Toyozuru. Yachiyo realizes Sumire must have known Kanae and may have left because being around them reminded her of that loss, yet something still feels off.&lt;br /&gt;
** Elsewhere, Fuka continues hunting Witches alone, struggling to keep her own Soul Gem from darkening. She encounters a mysterious creature that seems to halt the transformation of a Magical Girl at the brink of becoming a Witch, allowing her to “let her die once” and keep her alive temporarily. Kyubey observes the phenomenon. Fuka questions Kyubey about wishes and their outcomes for Magical Girls who are no longer with us.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire meets Kyubey alone at night, saying she is still searching for the right wish and that the day she makes her contract is approaching. Fuka finds her and warns her of the danger. Their conversation reveals that Fuka saved Mifuyu from seeing too much and that Sumire knew about it, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Sumire says she has sins to atone for, but still intends to become a Magical Girl someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic Witch===&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko travels to Toyozuru alone to investigate the disappearances and find Sumire, having heard rumors of a monster emerging from a Magical Girl. She defeats a Familiar, then witnesses Fuka Higure standing over an unconscious girl from whom a small Witch like creature briefly appears. Momoko accuses Fuka of turning Magical Girls into Witches, but Sumire suddenly appears. Fuka grabs Sumire as a shield, uses spiritless magic on Momoko, and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Momoko meets Mel, who admits she also came to Toyozuru. Tsuruno reveals she knew about Momoko&#039;s secret trip and joins them. The three fight endless Familiars and split up. Mel Anna is saved from Familiars by Fuka, who recognizes Mel as the fortune teller who predicted she would meet her destiny. Momoko defeats a Witch and finds Sumire, but Sumire coldly rejects her, saying she chose to leave Mikazuki Villa and cannot bear to be around them, then escapes with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Fuka and Sumire discuss their plan. Flashbacks reveal that Sumire’s grandmother was killed by a Witch, and that Sumire learned Magical Girls turn into Witches. Fuka’s spiritless magic can create a “Near Witch” anomaly, temporarily halting the transformation. Sumire admits she lied to Yachiyo and the others about the spiritless incident and the Yuhicho Magical Girls, all to use the veterans to hunt Witches while hiding the truth. She genuinely grew fond of them and now wants to save them from their fate as atonement for her deception. Fuka’s stronger “soul stopping” magic caused the long haired idol to appear dead when she was merely suspended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu use Kanae’s magic infused bookmark to see a memory: Kanae was close with Sumire and made her contract to save her. They realize Sumire kept this connection secret, possibly resenting them for Kanae’s death, yet she never harmed them. Tsuruno calls, reporting that Toyozuru is overrun with Familiars and that Fuka is ignoring them. Yachiyo hypothesizes that Witches are former Magical Girls, and that Sumire and Fuka are trying to change the system by allowing Familiars to become Witches to harvest Grief Seeds for more magic. She decides they must go to Toyozuru and tell everyone the truth about Soul Gems.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire reflects on her love for Toyozuru and her motivation to save Magical Girls as atonement for her sins, including causing Kanae’s death. Fuka allows Familiars to run wild and turn into Witches to harvest Grief Seeds, and she has been experimenting on Magical Girls with her spiritless magic, creating “Near Witches” that halt transformation but cannot reverse it. She hides the truth from Sumire, who believes Near Witches are salvation. Fuka collapses from magic depletion; Sumire finds her and decides to research at the library, where Kyubey appears.&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Momoko, Tsuruno, and Mel fight endless Familiars in Toyozuru. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive after Tsuruno calls them. Yachiyo reveals the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches, and Soul Gems are their life force. The group is shaken but resolves to stop Fuka and Sumire. They split up to find them. Tsuruno locates Fuka, who is about to put a Magical Girl into spiritless sleep. Fuka admits she has done terrible things. Sumire appears, confessing she initiated everything and used the Mikazuki girls. She intends to make a contract to fix the Near Witch flaw. Fuka tries to put everyone to sleep, but Yachiyo and Mifuyu counter. Yachiyo uses Kanae’s bookmark to show Sumire Kanae’s memories: Kanae made her contract to save Sumire from a kidnapper, then distanced herself to protect Sumire, always wishing for Sumire’s happiness. Sumire realizes Kanae never resented her.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reconciled, the group teams up with Fuka and Sumire. They discover that a Witch has swallowed the base where spiritless Magical Girls are kept. Inside the Labyrinth, the Witch grows stronger by absorbing Near Witches. As Fuka’s magic runs out and the situation becomes dire, Kyubey appears and offers Sumire a contract to save everyone. Sumire hesitates, but Momoko encourages her not to give up. Sumire decides to fight with her intelligence rather than make a contract. Together they execute a plan: Mifuyu uses illusions to conceal attacks, Fuka pins the Witch with spiritless magic, Tsuruno, Yachiyo, and Mel Anna strike simultaneously, and Momoko lands the final blow. The Witch is defeated but drops no Grief Seeds, and the Labyrinth shifts. The sleeping Magical Girls are still in danger of turning into Witches. Fuka has no magic left. Sumire, believing this is the price for her sins, calls Kyubey to make a wish, but not for atonement, and instead for everyone’s happiness, vowing to protect those who matter most.&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sumire’s wish, all the spiritless Magical Girls disappear except for Sumire and Fuka. The others wake up having forgotten the truth about Witches, and the Mikazuki Villa girls forget Sumire and Fuka entirely. Sumire thus becomes a Magical Girl and teams up with Fuka to fight Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a handful of battles, Fuka eventually runs out of Grief Seeds and turns into a Witch. Before transforming, she admits she never forgot the truth and asks Sumire to see her off with a smile and someday defeat her. Sumire fights the Fuka Witch repeatedly, but it always escapes, seemingly trying not to hurt her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Mikazuki Villa girls hunt Fuka&#039;s Witch that has crossed into their territory. Mel uses too much magic and, without a Grief Seed, turns into a Witch before their eyes. Momoko, Yachiyo, and Mifuyu witness her transformation in horror and learn the truth again. &lt;br /&gt;
* After some time, Sumire continues fighting alone, carrying the memories of everyone she has lost: Kanae, Fuka, and now Mel. She reflects that Magical Girls still turn into Witches and the world remains unjust, but she keeps fighting so that someday she can be proud of herself. The tale of joy, sin, and hope now belongs only to her and while proclaiming herself as a Magical Girl, she successfully defeats Fuka&#039;s Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sumire&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers From You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire Yoake feels exhausted from constantly playing the perfect student, blending truth and lies to make others like her. She decides to do something bad and goes up to the unlocked rooftop, thinking of her late grandmother and her senpai, Kanae Yukino, who died after a fight. On the rooftop, she sees a girl leaning over the railing and calls out, thinking she might jump. The girl, Fuka Higure, explains she was only watching a cat. They introduce themselves, noting that Sumire&#039;s name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; and Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
** Fuka mentions having her fortune told in Kamihama by a girl who predicted she would meet her destiny. Sumire reveals she used to live in Kamihama and laughs that Fuka once walked all the way there for no reason. They become good friends, and Sumire shows Fuka her favorite relaxing spot.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, they are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Fuka, already scouted by Kyubey, makes a contract to protect them both and becomes a Magical Girl. Sumire promises not to make her own contract until she has thought of a good wish, but she secretly wants to become a Magical Girl to protect others.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire learns from Kyubey that Witches cause accidents and despair, and that her grandmother&#039;s accident was caused by a Witch. Kyubey also reveals that Kanae Yukino became a Magical Girl for Sumire&#039;s sake and died in battle. Sumire is devastated, believing Kanae ghosted her because she despised her. Then she and Fuka discover the truth: Magical Girls turn into Witches.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire suggests wishing to prevent Witch‑turnings, but Fuka argues that if such a wish were possible, someone would have made it already. They decide to investigate further, and Sumire calls on the veteran Magical Girls of Mikazuki Villa in Kamihama for help, concealing the truth about Witch‑turnings from them while presenting herself as an apprentice trying to figure out her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire spends time with the Mikazuki Villa girls: Yachiyo Nanami, Mifuyu Azusa, Tsuruno Yui, and Momoko Togame. They welcome her warmly, and Sumire grows attached despite meaning for her stay to be temporary. Yachiyo tells her about a friend who died in a Witch battle, and Sumire realizes that friend was Kanae. Fearing that staying with them will lead them to the truth and hurt them, Sumire leaves a note and a hot pot as a thank‑you, then stops visiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire and Fuka continue to commit sins in the name of saving Magical Girls, allowing sacrifices. Eventually, Yachiyo and the others catch them, forcing Sumire&#039;s hand. Sumire learns that Kanae had made her contract to save Sumire and had given her a pressed flower bookmark because she cared for her. Fuka admits she did everything to stop Sumire from becoming a Magical Girl and turning into a Witch. Overcome, Sumire makes a wish to Kyubey: to save everyone she dragged into this, saving them from despair.&lt;br /&gt;
** The wish erases all memory of &amp;quot;despair&amp;quot; from everyone&#039;s minds. Momoko and the others forget Sumire and the truth about Witch‑turnings. Fuka loses all memory of her sins and of the Witch‑turning itself. Sumire is sad but pleased, because now she gets to spend every day with Fuka.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day of karaoke, they sense a Witch and fight it together, using a combo trick. Afterward, Fuka comes to Sumire&#039;s place for dinner, and Sumire serves her take on Momoko&#039;s fried rice. Fuka says she wants to visit a shop on the weekend, but Sumire has to go to Kamihama to deliver something to her parents at the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Kamihama hospital, Sumire spots the Mikazuki Villa girls but they do not notice or remember her. She feels a pang of hurt but is glad they are doing fine. After delivering her parents&#039; items, she goes to the hospital rooftop for the breeze, and a girl accidentally startles her while stretching.&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl, Iroha Tamaki, apologizes and offers Sumire homemade tofu Hamburg steaks meant for her sick sister Ui. Sumire shares rice crackers with Iroha, recalling her grandmother&#039;s saying that a shared snack halves sadness. When Sumire asks what Iroha would wish for if she could have magic, Iroha says she would make Ui healthy, and then, if she could make more than one wish, she would want to make everyone smile. Sumire is moved. Suddenly sensing a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in the hospital, Sumire excuses herself and leaves candy as thanks and prayers for Ui&#039;s recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
** Sumire enters the Labyrinth, saves a girl who was dragged in, and defeats the Witch. The girl&#039;s mother thanks her, and a young child says she wants to be as kind as Sumire. Sumire reflects that fighting Witches allows her to protect people and that maybe her prayer to save someone can still be answered, even if she cannot accomplish it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* Day after day, Fuka and Sumire continue fighting Witches together, saving people and paving the way for a better future despite their past sins.&lt;br /&gt;
* The dreaded day arrives when Fuka&#039;s magic runs dry. She had never forgotten the truth about the Witch‑turning. She smiles at Sumire until the very moment she transforms into a Witch. Sumire is spared despair because Fuka did not turn out of despair. Sumire&#039;s last duty is to defeat Fuka and stop her from spreading despair. Fuka runs away, and Sumire pursues her, vowing to follow each time and to see her off with a smile, just as Fuka always loved to see her smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Sumire recalls all the love she received: her grandmother&#039;s words to find what makes her smile, Kanae&#039;s happiness in simply chatting with her, Yachiyo doing her hair, and Fuka saying that lazing around together after a meal was the happiest she had ever been. Sumire decides she will not fall into despair. Even if she dies, hope will continue into the future. The dawn of Magical Girls&#039; salvation has not yet arrived, but she will keep fighting, holding on to the belief that someday everyone will be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fuka&#039;s Heartphial Story: Flowers For You===&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka Higure sits on her school rooftop after class, thinking about an essay assignment on &amp;quot;My Favorite Things.&amp;quot; She realizes she does not truly love anything, describing herself as an apathetic and boring person. On a whim, she decides to go on a trip to change her life, but she loses track of her thoughts and ends up walking all the way to Kamihama, exhausted and frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;
** A tearful girl named Mel Anna approaches her and offers to tell her fortune. Mel predicts that Fuka will soon meet her destiny, someone who will be her light, and that her lucky item is a cute mascot. Fuka, noticing her Fuyo Poyo keychain, decides to believe her to avoid making Mel cry again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, a cat draws Fuka&#039;s attention, and a girl appears holding Fuka&#039;s dropped Fuyo Poyo mascot. The girl introduces herself as Sumire Yoake, noting that her name means &amp;quot;sunrise&amp;quot; while Fuka&#039;s means &amp;quot;sunset,&amp;quot; making them polar opposites. Fuka asks if Sumire is her destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
* Fuka and Sumire quickly become good friends. Fuka learns that Sumire lives alone most of the time, and Sumire invites her over for tea. At Sumire&#039;s apartment, Fuka notices many books and a rock music CD, guessing that Sumire had a close friend who loved rock. Fuka realizes she reminds Sumire of that friend, but she does not mind; all she wants is to see Sumire smile.&lt;br /&gt;
* One day on their way back from school, Fuka and Sumire are pulled into a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth. Kyubey had been pestering Fuka, but she never wanted to make a contract. To save both their lives, she wishes to defeat the Witch without any effort. Her magic makes the Witch spiritless, and she destroys it in one hit.&lt;br /&gt;
** After becoming a Magical Girl, Fuka learns the secret of Soul Gems and that Sumire&#039;s good friend, Kanae Yukino, had already made a contract for Sumire&#039;s sake. Sumire is devastated, feeling responsible for Kanae&#039;s death and for Fuka&#039;s contract. Sumire considers making a contract herself to atone, but Fuka refuses, promising to protect her and save all Magical Girls so that Sumire never has to become one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Soon after her contract, Fuka witnesses another Magical Girl turn into a Witch. She and Sumire try to tell others the truth, but the revelation causes another girl to transform on the spot. Fuka develops new magic: she can temporarily stop a Magical Girl&#039;s body and soul just before she turns into a Witch, manifesting a creature called a Near Witch. However, the transformation will resume unless Fuka continuously casts her spell. To gather enough magic for this, she deliberately leaves Familiars to grow into Witches and runs experiments on other Magical Girls, sacrificing many lives while telling herself it is for the greater good, all while keeping a cool head.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sumire notices Fuka&#039;s exhaustion and asks if she is okay. Fuka lies and says she is fine. Despite not being a Magical Girl yet, Sumire proves to be strong and clever, helping Fuka in her own way. Eventually, Sumire makes a contract and becomes a Magical Girl. Her wish makes all the Magical Girls Fuka had put to sleep wake up with the truth of Witches forgotten, saving everyone except those who had already transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
** The other girls who knew Sumire vanish from memory, disappearing right in front of them. Sumire asks Fuka if she remembers the truth about Magical Girls, fearing that Fuka&#039;s despair over Sumire&#039;s contract might also make her remember the Witch‑turning. Fuka lies and says she does not remember, because she does not want Sumire to sacrifice herself again. From then on, they live as ordinary Magical Girls together, hunting Witches side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day off, Sumire suggests they go to the beach. They eat freshly caught mackerel tartare at a market, then wade into the shallows. Sumire splashes Fuka, and Fuka splashes back, and they laugh together. Fuka reflects that the water glistened and that it was what you would call the springtime of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, they go to watch a zombie movie. Sumire, who catches bugs with her bare hands, cries at the fake horror, and Fuka finds her adorable. Walking home, Fuka comments on common zombie tropes and says that if she ever turned into a zombie, she would want Sumire to kill her. Sumire breaks down crying, not because of zombies but because she is terrified of Fuka turning into a Witch and leaving her alone. Fuka apologizes and gives Sumire a secret zombie version Fuyo Poyo mascot she won from a capsule pull, only to discover that Sumire had also won the same secret version to give to her later.&lt;br /&gt;
* On a peaceful walk home from school, carrying their matching Fuyo Poyo mascots, they pass a wedding dress shop and talk about the future. Fuka gives Sumire flowers, saying they made her think of Sumire. Suddenly, they sense a Witch. The Witch is far stronger than usual, and their attacks barely work. They fight for hours, from sunset until sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;
** When the Witch is finally defeated, Fuka&#039;s Soul Gem is completely clouded. She understands she will soon turn into a Witch. She does not feel despair because she knows Sumire is strong enough to survive. Her only regret is leaving Sumire alone and never seeing her future: her Coming of Age Ceremony, her relationships, her wedding, her smile. As a final act, Fuka puts a curse on Sumire so that Sumire will live no matter what. In her last moments, she thinks only of Sumire: the Fuyo Poyo mascot, the mackerel tartare, the movie, the zombie keychains, and the world she saw together with her.&lt;br /&gt;

===Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* While Karin is hospitalized with Alina. She has a nightmare in which Kaede tells her she does not &amp;quot;feel like Halloween.&amp;quot; Karin is deeply shaken by this. Karin wakes up. Alina is still in the hospital room. Mifuyu visits. Karin explains her dream and her depression. She decides to face the problem by drawing a Halloween-themed manga to prove herself to Kaede. Alina suggests Karin ask for the opinions of others rather than relying on her own judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Karin &amp;amp; Alina (Halloween)#Side Story|Karin &amp;amp; Alina&#039;s Halloween Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin reads her favorite manga for inspiration. Mifuyu and Alina advise her to seek opinions from others. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede visit. Kaede apologizes for her words. Karin asks the trio what feels most Halloweeny to them. Momoko and Rena say costumes, but Kaede says pumpkins and homemade jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin begins drawing her manga based on their input.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin shows Alina her manga draft. She has incorporated pumpkins, costumes, and &amp;quot;trick or treat.&amp;quot; Alina criticizes it as a strange arrangement of others&#039; opinions. Alina advises Karin to gather opinions from many people for the majority vote. Karin decides to conduct a questionnaire and asks Mitama for help at her adjustment shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Emiri, Ren, Rika, and Hinano arrive. Emiri proposes a Halloween spirit contest instead of a questionnaire. The contest involves transforming and scoring each other&#039;s Halloween spirit. The top three will appear in Karin&#039;s manga. Natsuki arrives in a ghost costume and takes the lead. Shizuku and Ayaka also join.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calls in Kush, who transforms into a vampire and she wins the contest. Natsuki takes second place and Karin takes third place. A commemorative photo is taken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Karin reflects on the photo and feels she is unneeded. Alina reminds Karin that her original goal was to prove herself to Kaede, not to gain approval from everyone. Karin realizes her target readership should be Kaede alone. She recalls Kaede&#039;s love of pumpkins and decides the key to her manga is jack-o&#039;-lanterns. Karin leaves to research the Jack-O&#039;-Lantern legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin completes her manga, &amp;quot;The Pumpkin King and the Ghost Servant.&amp;quot; She shows it to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede who praise it, giving it 100 points or more. Kaede appreciates the happy ending. Karin is moved by Kaede&#039;s approval. Manaka arrives with pumpkin pie for a taste test.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Karin receives a message from the Sakae Halloween Festa Executive Committee, inviting her to rejoin now that she is discharged. Karin asks Mitama to adjust a Halloween costume for her. She requests the Pumpkin King costume based on her manga. Mitama reads the manga and agrees to create the costume. Mitama notes that the adjustment may give Karin new abilities.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the Sakae Halloween Festa, Karin arrives at the festival in her Pumpkin King costume. Alina is also present, already dressed as the ghost servant from Karin&#039;s manga. Karin mistakenly believes Alina read the manga and dressed up willingly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head of the executive committee thanks Karin for recommending Alina as the face of the event. Karin reflects on her hope that Alina will one day atone for her sins and reach a happy ending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mifuyu visits the school and reads Karin&#039;s manga, which she finds in the art club room. Alina reveals she has not read it yet. Alina reads it and criticizes it harshly, giving it 0 points. She argues Karin has lost sight of herself, drawing to flatter her readers rather than expressing her own impulses. Mifuyu is conflicted about Alina&#039;s assessment. Alina states she wants Karin&#039;s original form back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;KarinAlinaHalloweenss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Madoka-senpai&#039;s Heartphial Story: A Day in the Life of Madoka-senpai===&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka-senpai greets everyone, whether acquainted or not. She escaped the world of Magia Et Cetera to join this one. She hopes no one disrespects the main character just because she is a low-rarity unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A-Q explains that this is Magia Et Cetera&#039;s Madoka Kaname, aka Madoka-senpai&#039;s Windows Into Memory. A-Q asks if Name would like to look inside. A sliding door appears. A-Q looks forward to seeing the emotions Name will feel when experiencing memories of someone she knows. They switch video input.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;7:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; In the bathroom, Madoka-senpai brushes her teeth. A-Q explains she is picking vegetables in the garden. Sayaka arrives to pick her up, but Madoka-senpai mistakes a cabbage for Sayaka. She is clearly not a morning person.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;9:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; A-Q notes they are headed to Mami&#039;s place. Sayaka has not decided what to give Kyosuke. Madoka-senpai suggests a detour to the Magia Exedra Web Shop, where players can get Magica Stones for a better deal than in the app. Sayaka agrees.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;10:00 am:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Mami&#039;s place, A-Q explains the traditional German dress is called a dirndl, famous for Oktoberfest. Name asks if there will be an in-game event. A-Q says no, but being prepared is one of the strengths of Mitakihara Magical Girls. Nagisa calls out for sausage, and Madoka-senpai calls out for cheese.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;1:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At Récompense, A-Q notes she is buying a cake. Homura welcomes her. Madoka-senpai orders a loquat cake to-go. Homura says it is a shame.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;3:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Magia Et Cetera Meeting, Iroha-chan announces a new Kioku will be released next week with a guest Magical Girl. She seems straight-laced, so they should cut the regular teasing. Madoka-senpai suggests going hard with it instead and bringing out charm not seen in the main game. A-Q notes this is how Magia Et Cetera is made.&lt;br /&gt;
** A-Q asks how Name&#039;s experience was. Name says her heart was racing the whole time from both thrills and guilty pleasure. A-Q warns her not to get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;6:00 pm:&#039;&#039;&#039; At the Lighthouse, Madoka-senpai arrives with loquat cake for everyone. Name recognizes the loquat.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This article details the events and stories taking place in, during and between the chapters of Arc 2 of [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]], up until the conclusion of Magia Record entirely. It is possible that there are days between the ones listed, as well as some events from different sources (such as Main Story and Another Story) having taken place on different days from each other. Due to the uncertainty of the passage of time, this article is best understood as a summary of events in approximate chronological order. In lack of contradictory context clues, the release date, or order of release of the event were used for their placement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The divide between the days isn&#039;t done strictly at midnight, as determining that would be a guess at best. Instead, consecutive days are separated by the rise of dawn signifying the next day, or alternatively a big passage of time skipped within the same night. As there are unspecified numbers of days in or between the chapters of Arc 2, as well as the part of the story being after Arc 2&#039;s conclusion, this article is split into nine parts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Prologue and Chapter 1&lt;br /&gt;
# Chapters 2 and 3&lt;br /&gt;
# Chapter 4&lt;br /&gt;
# Chapter 5 &lt;br /&gt;
# Chapter 6 &lt;br /&gt;
# Chapters 7 and 8&lt;br /&gt;
# Chapters 9 through 12 and Epilogue&lt;br /&gt;
# Unknown Placement (this section details events that take place before the conclusion of Arc 2, but otherwise their exact details are unable to be fully determined)&lt;br /&gt;
# Post-Arc 2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Following the events of Magia Record is [[Timeline/Magia Exedra]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Part 1==&lt;br /&gt;
The first part of the story of Arc 2 officially starts with the [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Prologue|Arc 2 Prologue]], and ends with [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 1|Chapter 1]]. Based on the characters&#039; dialogue, these seven days are verifiably consecutive to each other with seemingly no breaks in between.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;First Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* After class, Kagome reflects on her inability to act on her resolve to help Magical Girls. She thinks of Iroha and finally feels ready to take action on her own and spread the word of their existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Prologue|Arc 2 Prologue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103101 kimochi encount.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui alerts the rest of the Mikazuki team to a strange Labyrinth. They encounter an entity that somehow uses the defeated [[Uwasa of the Friendship Ending Staircase]], but the entity itself is neither a Witch nor a known Uwasa. The entity proves to be exceptionally powerful, and during the battle, it targets the Magical Girls&#039; Soul Gems. Tsuruno and Sana are injured defending each other, but Iroha, Yachiyo, Ui, and Felicia manage to defeat it together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The entity does not leave behind a Grief Seed, but instead, a mysterious, indestructible bracelet attaches itself to Iroha&#039;s arm. The bracelet also resists all attempts to remove it and emits strong magic. Yachiyo suggests gathering information from their contacts and Ui and Lil&#039; Kyubey speculate the object wants to go somewhere.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During this time, Kagome, now aware of the Magical Girl system, writes to document their struggle and bring their hidden sacrifices to light. She seeks to brighten the light of Magical Girls by revealing the truth of their fate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2prologue&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Second Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning after Mikazuki&#039;s battle with the entity, Kagome reflects on the information she has gathered about Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, the Wings of the Magius, and the Automatic Purification System. She documents Kamihama as a special place where Magical Girls are freed from becoming Witches, though this system is fragile.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 1: Forward with the Sound of Shoes|Arc 2, Chapter 1: Forward with the Sound of Shoes]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls prepare for school. Felicia is anxious about a quiz, and the others have to physically carry her out the door.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day at school, during English class, Iroha is distracted, worrying about the long-term consequences of the Automatic Purification System, specifically the depletion of Grief Seeds and the potential release of Doppels. Her distraction causes her to give an incorrect answer in class.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During lunch, Iroha shows the mysterious object attached to her arm to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, who have no knowledge of Witches leaving such objects. Iroha explains the entity they fought used the Uwasa of the Friendship Ending Staircase as Familiars and felt different from both Witches and Uwasa. Momoko suggests Iroha bring the matter to the regional leaders&#039; meeting scheduled for that day to see if similar incidents occurred in other wards.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka, Nemu, and Mifuyu discuss the difficulties of expanding the Purification System. They conclude that expanding the system beyond Kamihama is currently impossible, as they do not even understand its base of operations within the city. The Eternal Sakura returns and reports that a Kamihama Magia Union meeting is occurring, which will include Iroha and Ui. She urges Touka and Nemu to attend, but they refuse, stating they have prior obligations to help Mifuyu study.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At a playground, Kako, Ayame, and Felicia play together and Felicia mentions she must leave to attend a Kamihama Magia Union meeting. Kako and Ayame reveal that their respective teams have policies against joining the Union, and Felicia reassures them that they can still cooperate and share information when needed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 1: Choose For Yourself, Without Being Overwhelmed|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 1: Choose For Yourself, Without Being Overwhelmed]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the regional leaders&#039; meeting, Iroha presents a report from Touka on the Automatic Purification System. The report states the system continues to function but its Labyrinth&#039;s location remains unknown. Its nature is undefined, as it is a conceptual entity formed from Lil&#039; Kyubey and Ui, making its energy requirements unclear. The report concludes that expansion of the system is currently impossible. Iroha and Ui also confirm they cannot sense the system&#039;s location and that Lil&#039; Kyubey also has no information.&lt;br /&gt;
* The discussion shifts to the mysterious object on Iroha&#039;s arm and they describe the powerful entity they fought, which used Uwasa as Familiars. Ryo, as a former White Feather, states the Wings of the Magius had no knowledge of such a combined entity and notes the object appears clearly in her photographs.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi reports that while no one in the Eastern Ward has encountered such a being, there are reports of strange magic being felt. Hinano states she will alert the Magical Girls in the Southern Wards as well and Kanagi agrees to remain vigilant, given the warning about the entity&#039;s power.&lt;br /&gt;
* The meeting concludes and Kanagi notes the positive change in Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls now working as allies. The group disperses: Hinano and Ryo head south, Ui and Sana go grocery shopping for Mikazuki Villa, and Tsuruno and Felicia return to Banbanzai. Kanagi suggests Iroha have Mitama examine the mysterious bracelet as a Coordinator. Despite concerns that probing its magic could trigger a reaction, Yachiyo agrees, as leaving it unattended is also a risk.&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, after Nanaka&#039;s team defeat a Witch, they discuss whether to join the Kamihama Magia Union. Akira advocates for joining, while Nanaka and Meiyui oppose the idea, as they distrust the former Magius members. When asked, Kako recalls positive encounters with Union members but ultimately also decides not to participate. Nanaka concludes the discussion, stating it is too early to join and Akira agrees to stop pressing the issue. The meeting ends as the team is approached by a member of Promised Blood.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Elsewhere, Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame are also confronted by a Magical Girl from Promised Blood. The girl confirms the three are from Kamihama and immediately attacks with other assailants. Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame win the fight and the Promised Blood members retreat, vowing never to forgive the Magical Girls of Kamihama. After the fight, the team notes the attackers specifically targeted their Soul Gems and Hazuki decides to gather information to determine if Magia Union and other local teams are also under attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that evening, as Ui and Sana shop, they sense the magic of an unknown Magical Girl approaching. Nearby, Ryo and Hinano confirm recent eyewitness reports of unfamiliar Magical Girls in the city as well. The unknown Magical Girl passes by the group and heads toward Shinsei Ward. Ryo takes a photograph, but the image is blurry and the individual is unidentifiable. The group expresses concern for Iroha&#039;s safety in particular in Shinsei Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Sakae Academy, Ikumi visits Karin, who remains at school late, unwilling to return home because her grandmother worries about her depression over Alina&#039;s disappearance. Karin shows Ikumi artwork Alina created, all themed around life, and insists the Alina she knew would not try to destroy the city. Ikumi confirms, based on her and Ryo&#039;s accounts, that Alina was one of the three Magius who led the Wings of the Magius and was willing to sacrifice the city. Karin believes Alina stopped coming because she was angry at Karin&#039;s lack of artistic improvement and vows to practice until Alina returns, but Ikumi tells her that people have more than one side.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Kanagi senses the magic of a mysterious Magical Girl but is unable to find her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Third Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day after the sighting of unknown Magical Girls, Kanagi visits Mitama to discuss the reports of them. Mitama confirms that some of her clients have fragmented memories of such encounters but no concrete sightings. They briefly discuss the political fallout in Chuo Ward, as the East has been handling the cleanup from Eve&#039;s rampage and the mayor has been forced to resign. They also bring up the stable state of the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Mikazuki Villa team arrive and Yachiyo confirms there are multiple unknown Magical Girls in Kamihama. They show Ryo&#039;s photo as evidence and the group discusses the possibility that these are hostile Magical Girls from outside Kamihama. Mitama attempts to read the magical signatures from Ui&#039;s memories but finds no clear information either, so the group agrees to circulate a warning. Mitama then examines the mysterious bracelet on Iroha&#039;s arm and confirms it is magically sealed and cannot be removed. Upon probing the jewel, Mitama discovers it contains an unbelievable amount of magic, far beyond a normal Witch&#039;s power. As she probes deeper into the magic, Iroha cries out in pain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the procedure, Iroha has a vision of the &amp;quot;Witch&amp;quot; they defeated, [[Joyful - Sapphire Lips]]. The entity communicates with her, revealing it is not hostile and explains that because Iroha defeated it, it has entrusted its life to her in the form of the bracelet. The entity states the bracelet can only be removed and given to someone Iroha would trust with her own life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha wakes up and tells Mitama and the others about her vision. She believes the bracelet isn’t malicious, but is bound to her through a pact formed during their battle. Tsuruno suggests returning to the original battle site to look for clues, and Yachiyo agrees, warning that harmless doesn’t mean safe. Iroha, Ui, and the others head there. After they leave, Mitama recalls how Iroha’s recovered memories once triggered major events in Kamihama, giving her a strong sense of déjà vu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group searches the area for magical traces but finds nothing. Sana and Ui sense the same magical signature as the day before, then encounter a group of unfamiliar Magical Girls. The newcomers say they want the massive energy once present there, as well as the lives of Kamihama’s Magical Girls. They reveal they’re from Futatsugi City and resent Kamihama for the deaths of their comrades.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A battle breaks out, and the Futatsugi Magical Girls prove to be very powerful. Their leader, [[Yuna Kureha]], and her subordinate, [[Hikaru Kirari]], demand Iroha’s bracelet, calling it revenge for their fallen allies. Felicia is badly injured, and Ui leaves to get help. She soon returns with Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, forcing the Futatsugi group to retreat. Before leaving, Yuna and Hikaru name themselves and vow to reclaim what was “forged in their blood.”&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team brings Felicia to Mitama and asks whether she enhanced the Futatsugi Magical Girls, since their strength rivaled her clients’. Mitama denies knowing them, but reveals she learned her Coordination skills from a teacher, so there may now be other Coordinators in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Puella Care trailer, Yuna and Hikaru meet with [[Livia Medeiros]], Mitama&#039;s previous teacher, who performs a service of Coordination on them and gives them advice to not lose sight of their original goal while investigating Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103101 pb encount.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that night in Futatsugi, Yuna interrogates and executes a girl from Kamihama who stumbled upon their location and was a member of the organization known as Neo-Magius. Hikaru assists with the disposal of the body, and the group, which also includes [[Juri Oba]] and [[Ao Kasane]], discusses their recent reconnaissance. Yuna reports that the Kamihama Magical Girls appear ignorant of the Promised Blood&#039;s motives, and Hikaru confirms they are strong enough to provide a challenge for Juri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* During this time, Kagome speaks with Kyubey. She refuses to answer his requests, stating she made a promise with an old scholar and another entity. Her mission is to record and spread the knowledge of Magical Girls to the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Elsewhere in Kamihama, [[Shizuka Tokime]] becomes trapped in a train station gate, unable to exit because her transit card lacks funds. Her companions, [[Chiharu Hiroe]] and [[Sunao Toki]], attempt to instruct her on how to use the fare adjustment machine, and Chiharu leaves to find a station attendant to help them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome observes growing unrest in Kamihama, noting the arrival of foreign Magical Girls, the mysterious bracelet, and the rising sense of unease across the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa visit Mifuyu to check on her. While there, Yachiyo and Mifuyu discuss the increase in hostile Magical Girls from outside Kamihama and Iroha’s bracelet. Mifuyu suggests having Touka and Nemu examine it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Promised Blood, led by Yuna, Juri, Ao, and Hikaru, interrogates a captured Kamihama Magical Girl to gather information. Frustrated by the resilience of the city’s Magical Girls, Yuna orders Hikaru to scout Kamihama for targets.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, while grocery shopping to avoid an impromptu spicy dinner by Tsuruno, Iroha and Ui encounter Shizuka, Chiharu and Sunao struggling to pay at a register. Iroha helps them, and after learning they are new to the city, they offer to show them around and agree to meet again the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That evening, Yachiyo asks Iroha to take the bracelet to Touka and Nemu for inspection. Iroha explains she already plans to help Shizuka, Chiharu and Sunao, so Sana agrees to accompany Ui to ensure her safety instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fifth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia meet up with Shizuka, Sunao, and Chiharu. Tsuruno hears the three needs to get used to crowds fast, so she suggests heading to Kamihama&#039;s busiest spot, ya packed city center. Shizuka and Chiharu struggle at first, with Chiharu feeling nauseous from all the people. But after a bit, Shizuka pushes through, and they all enjoy food together. They then head to a clothing district, but Chiharu remains unwell, so they decide to go to a large park in western Sakae Ward, which Sana believes will have few people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo visit Touka and Nemu to have Iroha&#039;s bracelet examined. The analysis requires the use of the Eternal Sakura Uwasa, which in turn requires the presence of Iroha, Touka, Nemu, and Ui together. As Ui is absent, the analysis is postponed, but during the visit, Nemu reveals she created one final, unaccounted-for Rumor during her confrontation with [[Holy Alina]], but she cannot detect it despite its existence being recorded in her book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Elsewhere, Mifuyu meets with Tsukuyo and Tsukasa to discuss that a faction of former Wings of the Magius Feathers has begun mobilizing again, operating secretly at night. Mifuyu is concerned that this faction is acting against them despite sharing the same goal of liberating Magical Girls. They decide to also meet with Kanagi and Mitama to discuss the situation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In an unknown location, Juri had interrogated a captive Neo-Magius Feather and learns that the captive&#039;s allies are gathering at a massive radio telescope in the mountains to seek backup. Yuna and the other sisters deduce they are likely meeting with a strategic leader and decide to target this gathering.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Kanagi&#039;s cafe, Mifuyu informs Kanagi about the mobilizing Feathers and Kanagi agrees to accompany Mifuyu to meet Mitama, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa after she finishes her shift.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the park, Ui receives a message from Iroha, requesting she come to see the Eternal Sakura. The group discusses Chiharu&#039;s nausea in crowds and Chiharu reveals she can sense people&#039;s malice, which overwhelms her in dense areas. Tsuruno deduces that the three of them are Magical Girls, which they also confirm. They explain they came to Kamihama from their secluded village and Shizuka expresses relief at finding friendly Magical Girls in the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Suddenly, the Tokime Clan senses a powerful magical presence they mistake for a Witch. Ui identifies it as the same kind of unknown entity her team fought before and warns them it is a severe threat. Despite the warning, the Tokime Clan insists on confronting it to purify the land of Japan and help Chiharu. Ui reveals she can sense its location and the seven Maical Girls decide to pursue it. They encounter the Uwasa of the Memory Curator and its Familiars along the way, and the Tokime Clan initially fights alone but are overwhelmed, so the others intervene to assist. After a difficult battle, Shizuka delivers the killing blow to the &amp;quot;Witch,&amp;quot; [[Obedient - Ruby Navel]].&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The entity does not drop a Grief Seed and instead, a bracelet appears on Shizuka&#039;s wrist, just like it did with Iroha. The Tokime Clan speculates the bracelet, which contains powerful magic, is the object they have been tasked to collect. Tsuruno also connects this to the earlier attack by the Futatsugi girls, who were also seeking these bracelets, but the reason why multiple groups are collecting the bracelets remains unknown to them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna and Promised Blood detect a powerful magic signature in eastern Kamihama, so Yuna and Hikaru plan to defeat the leaders of Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls while the other two sisters are tasked with securing the source of the strong magical power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Elsewhere, Mifuyu, Mitama, and other veteran Magical Girls discuss the resurgence of the Wings of the Magius. Mitama reveals that the new faction&#039;s motivation is not just liberation, but &amp;quot;Magical Girl Supremacy,&amp;quot; an ideology they inherited from Touka. Mifuyu also fears Touka and Nemu will also be targeted for kidnapping to advance this goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo are with Touka and Nemu when members of the new Wings of the Magius, wearing new uniforms, arrive. They declare their intent to fulfill Touka&#039;s ideals, which they define as more than just liberation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Tokime Clan explains to Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia that their goal is not the bracelet itself, but the powerful magic contained within it. They state their objective is to acquire a share of Kamihama&#039;s Automatic Purification System for their village and that this information came from Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Separately, Kagome searches the mountains, as she hears the voices of Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime state that Kyubey told them they could obtain a part of the Automatic Purification System by gathering strong magic in Kamihama. The others are alarmed by Kyubey&#039;s involvement and Ui receives a message from Iroha indicating that Touka and Nemu are in danger, prompting the entire group to head to help them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Yachiyo, Touka, and Nemu are confronted by the new faction calling themselves the Neo-Magius, who have inherited the ideals of Touka and Nemu. Their goal is to seize the Automatic Purification System, the power of which they sense within Iroha&#039;s bracelet, and restrict its use to their followers. Touka and Nemu acknowledge these are their past ideas but the Neo-Magius have distorted them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri and Ao are also tracking the strong magical energy signal in the same eastern direction and they observe members of the Neo-Magius. They decide to follow them to the source of the power rather than confront them directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Elsewhere, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede meet with Tsukuyo and Tsukasa. The Amane sisters report that the Neo-Magius are heading for the radio telescope. They also report detecting numerous magical reactions from Magical Girls not native to Kamihama, who are gathering in the area. The group/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryo and Ikumi arrive, searching for Karin. Ikumi explains that Karin ran off after learning the new Wings of the Magius tried to recruit her, believing it could be a clue to Alina&#039;s whereabouts. Momoko invites Ryo and Ikumi to join their investigation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Neo-Magius members, [[Shigure Miyabi]] and [[Hagumu Azumi]], attempt to persuade Touka and Nemu to lead their faction, but they refuse again and Nemu also deduces that the pair&#039;s true motive is a desire to use their Magical Girl status to escape their own misery and gain self-worth. Iroha tries to empathize with them, but Shigure and Hagumu reject her perspective and attempt to kidnap Touka and Nemu by force.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Yachiyo give chase through the forest while Sakurako holds off other Neo-Magius members. As Iroha and Yachiyo urge the pair to stand down, Yuna and Hikaru arrive and Yuna reveals they were given the location by a Neo-Magius member they previously captured and killed. Yuna and Hikaru declare their intent to eliminate Touka and Nemu, and to take Iroha&#039;s bracelet, even if it requires severing her arm. Faced with this new threat, Shigure and Hagumu resolve to fight alongside Iroha and Yachiyo to protect Touka and Nemu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the radio telescope, a separate group of Magical Girls, including Juri and Ao enter a Labyrinth containing a powerful Uwasa of the Chelation Land Ferris Wheel. They also encounter a group of Neo-Magius members and Juri&#039;s group proposes a temporary truce to defeat the Uwasa, which they believe holds the powerful energy they seek. After a joint battle, the Uwasa is defeated but the Labyrinth remains. Juri&#039;s group then turns on the Neo-Magius, revealing they are from Futatsugi City and hold a deep grudge against Kamihama Magical Girls, specifically those carrying on the legacy of the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the same time, the battle between Iroha&#039;s group and the Futatsugi blood sisters intensifies. Yuna and Hikaru overpower Iroha, Yachiyo, Shigure, and Hagumu. Yuna prepares to execute Touka and Nemu for their role as the Magius, but reinforcements led by Mifuyu and Kanagi arrive, including Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, and Ui. Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao of the Tokime Clan also arrive and are shocked by the infighting, but Shizuka declares solidarity with her friends in Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1435.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The battle between the Kamihama and Futatsugi Magical Girls reaches a stalemate and Iroha pleads for an end to the fighting. Hikaru convinces Yuna to stand down and Kanagi uses her magic to read Hikaru&#039;s heart, learning the Futatsugi group lost many companions. Yuna reveals the cause of their grudge, that the Wings of the Magius&#039; plan to gather Witches in Kamihama to create Eve caused a Witch famine in Futatsugi City. This in turn led to a violent conflict among Futatsugi&#039;s Magical Girls over the scarce Grief Seeds, an event they call the Bloody Tragedy. Yuna states her friends died needlessly because of the Magius&#039; actions and declares that Promised Blood&#039;s goal is to seize the Automatic Purification System as a form of atonement from Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back inside the Labyrinth, the group of Magical Girls led by Juri and Ao defeat the entity behind the Uwasa, [[Oscillating - Aquamarine Heel]]. They acquire a bracelet from the being, which ties itself to Juri and they decide to pursue another strong magical signal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the radio telescope, Iroha attempts to reconcile with Yuna. She apologizes for the suffering the Magius caused Futatsugi and asks Yuna to help them expand the Automatic Purification System globally. Yuna rejects the apology and the proposal, stating that Promised Blood now has more reason to seize the system by force.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka intervenes, identifying herself as a Magical Girl from Tokime Village and condemning Yuna&#039;s plan for revenge as foolish. She reveals herself as being from Tokime Village in Kirimine Town. She explains her clan has a long-standing tradition of serving and protecting the Land of the Rising Sun as Magical Girls. However, the clan&#039;s leadership betrayed them by selling their souls to powerful political figures and concealing the truth that Magical Girls become Witches. To manage this, the village executed Magical Girls before they could Witch out, under the guise of a coming-of-age ritual. With the village leader now gone, the Tokime Clan has reclaimed their settlement and they came to Kamihama after learning from Kyubey about the Automatic Purification System, which they need to prevent their members from becoming Witches. Shizuka states they wish to obtain this power to continue protecting the nation, calling Promised Blood&#039;s quest for revenge wasteful.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Both Promised Blood and the Neo-Magius reject this proposal. Yuna insists on their path of revenge, while Hagumu reveals their goal is to use the system to create a society where Magical Girls rule at the top of humanity. Iroha resolves to protect the Automatic Purification System by collecting the bracelets, which contain great amounts of energy. She deduces a connection between the bracelets, Ui, and Lil&#039; Kyubey, as they were the first to sense the mysterious power. Touka confirms Iroha&#039;s theory, revealing the bracelets are crystallized pieces of Eve, that once had Ui as its core before Lil&#039; Kyubey temporarily replaced it. Nemu classifies these new entities as &amp;quot;[[Kimochi]],&amp;quot; crystals of condensed individual emotions ejected from Eve&#039;s body after Lil&#039; Kyubey became the core, as Incubators do not possess emotions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Kimochi Bracelets contain the original energy of the Automatic Purification System and Touka and Nemu state this energy is the key to expanding the system&#039;s range globally, fulfilling the goal of saving all Magical Girls. Yuna and the Futatsugi girls interpret this as a declaration of war, as it directly opposes their goal of destroying the system. Despite Mifuyu&#039;s plea for cooperation, Yuna refuses and prepares to leave. Iroha proposes that the leaders of the various factions, those being herself, Yuna, Shizuka, and Shigure, formally consolidate their information on how to control the Automatic Purification System. They agree to have Touka act as an intermediary to pose their questions to Kyubey, who is unable to enter Kamihama City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In a separate location, Karin confronts members of Promised Blood, demanding information about the cloaked Neo-Magius and Alina Gray. Juri becomes hostile upon hearing Alina&#039;s name and interrogates Karin, suspecting she has ties to the Magius due to her connection with Alina Gray. Karin, visibly terrified, states she only knows Alina as a former classmate and knows nothing of her as a Magius. The Futatsugi girls determine she is not lying and tell her to leave. Momoko&#039;s team arrives to rescue Karin and a battle erupts between the two groups in the forest.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Elsewhere, Lavi observes the situation and ponders discussing this with Livia, while Kagome and Aru observe the situation themselves. Additionally, elsewhere Kagome watches the magical lights of the battle from the forest, lamenting the conflict, and she is urged by Aru to follow the main groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Touka&#039;s lab, members of the factions meet and Iroha, Yuna, Shizuka, and Shigure, representing their respective factions, enter a meeting with Kyubey to formally establish the rules for controlling the Automatic Purification System. Touka establishes a one-way communication link, allowing them to see Kyubey while he cannot see them. He confirms he informed various groups about Kamihama&#039;s Automatic Purification System because they had a need for it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha presents the Kimochi Bracelet and asks if its energy can control the system. Kyubey confirms it is theoretically possible, and though he cannot verify the bracelet&#039;s nature from outside Kamihama, he endorses Touka&#039;s analysis that the bracelets contain the dispersed emotional energy of Eve. He explains that while the Automatic Purification System currently only harvests energy, possessing the physical Kimochi Stones would grant ownership and the ability to reshape the system. He states a single bracelet is insufficient, and that the exact number required is unknown, thus the collection of Kimochi Bracelets is the objective for controlling the system.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and Nemu confront Kyubey about his motives and he admits his goal is to instigate conflict between the Magical Girl factions. He explains that the Doppel System, while extending a Magical Girl&#039;s life, still generates the phase shift energy he harvests from the transition of hope to despair. By having the girls fight, he can conduct an experiment to see if fewer Magical Girls can produce the same amount of energy over a longer period, as he views individual deaths as inconsequential for the success of his experiment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* He explains that his race acts to counteract universal entropy and prevent the heat death of the universe. They discovered that the emotional energy generated when a young girl falls into despair after having a wish granted is an extremely efficient energy source. Magical Girls are specifically cultivated to produce this energy upon their transformation into Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102204 karin blaze1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102204 karin blaze2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In the forest, the Futatsugi girls decide to retreat from their battle, but as they withdraw, Rena and Kaede pursue them against Momoko&#039;s orders. Juri unleashes a powerful sea of fire attack and Karin pushes Kaede out of the way of the attack, being engulfed by the flames herself. Karin survives the attack, but the attack causes her Doppel to manifest, with their and first witnessed emergence of a Doppel shocking the Futatsugi group.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the lab, the conference with Kyubey concludes and Iroha and Yachiyo propose that the factions cooperate to spread the Automatic Purification System worldwide, which would also end Kyubey&#039;s experiment. Yuna rejects this offer and she and Hikaru leave, however the Tokime agree to an alliance. Shizuka formally shakes hands with Iroha to seal their partnership. Shigure and Hagumu are non-committal and Nemu advises them to consider cooperation, but they leave to deliberate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, after Karin&#039;s Doppel dissipates, she survives but is left weakened. Juri and Ao formally identify themselves as the second and third sisters of Promised Blood. Juri gives Momoko a Grief Seed as an apology, noting she did not intend to kill Karin, and the Promised Blood sisters then retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Near the lab, Kagome, who has been secretly observing the conference inside the radio telescope, hears Iroha declare the beginning of their fight. As Iroha&#039;s group prepares to leave, Nemu confronts Kagome, having detected her presence. Kagome reveals she is compiling a record about Magical Girls to help the world understand them and she uses Aru to explain that Kagome herself began this project after being saved by Iroha and subsequently meeting a kindly man knowledgeable about Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu identifies Kagome as the host for the last Uwasa she created, the &amp;quot;[[Uwasa of the Wind Evangelist]].&amp;quot; Nemu explains she created this Uwasa to spread public awareness of Magical Girls, an act that cost her the use of her legs during the final battle. The Uwasa&#039;s magical signature is so weak that only Nemu and the Eternal Sakura had sensed its continued existence. Kanagi suggests they continue the conversation while escorting Kagome home and, as the group departs, Touka expresses suspicion about the identity of the &amp;quot;kindly man&amp;quot; who inspired Kagome.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome explains how she fused with the Uwasa, &amp;quot;Rii.&amp;quot; She describes a moment of despair over her inability to compile records on Magical Girls, after which she heard voices that resonated with her desire to help them and this event led to her fusion with the Wind Evangelist. Nemu theorizes that because she created this Uwasa during her battle with Alina, its creation was unstable, which resulted in a symbiotic relationship where Kagome acts to support Magical Girls and the Uwasa protects her and gathers information. Iroha reassures Kagome that her intentions are good and encourages her to continue her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama arrives, concerned about the group&#039;s whereabouts, and they notify her that they plan to convene all the Magical Girls of Kamihama for a larger discussion. As Mitama and Kanagi prepare to leave, Mitama suddenly reacts to a presence she recognizes. Three new Magical Girls appear: Livia Medeiros, [[Yozuru Sasame]], and [[Sudachi Sawa]]. They introduce themselves as members of &amp;quot;[[Puella Care]],&amp;quot; a group of neutral Coordinators who have been sent to Kamihama by Kyubey after they learned of Mitama&#039;s broken neutrality. Livia warns Mitama that aligning with a faction will not fulfill her desires.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Puella Care depart, Kanagi suggests that eliminating the neutral Coordinators could be a path to peace, but Sana doubts it would be so simple. Mitama explains that the Coordinators&#039; neutrality, while sowing conflict, has also saved many Magical Girls and Yachiyo also advises against provoking them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Promised Blood&#039;s base, Juri tells the other leaders of the group that she&#039;s acquired a Kimochi Bracelet. Juri demonstrates that it can be transferred if one is willing to offer their life to another, successfully giving hers to Yuna as a sign of their pact as sisters. The group then decides to return to Futatsuki City to report their progress to Janomiya.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Within the Tokime Clan, Sunao, Chiharu, and Shizuka discuss their recent findings, having learned that not all Magical Girls share their specific purpose of fighting for Japan. Though they&#039;re disheartened by this revelation, they realize their clan&#039;s maintained pride is a miracle and that they should work to spread their ideals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Within the Neo-Magius, Shigure and Hagumu witness the mass departure of their members. The remaining members state that weaklings banding together only form a weak crowd and that the group is no longer necessary for strong Magical Girls or those who can live normal lives. Shigure and Hagumu, both social outcasts who found solace only in each other, are left alone and they console each other, deciding to go home to sleep and forget their troubles.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That evening at Mikazuki Villa, Tsuruno, Felicia, Yachiyo, and Sana discuss the day&#039;s events, feeling manipulated by Kyubey again. In Iroha&#039;s room, Ui tells Iroha that she is scared. She has realized that the Kimochi are fragments of Eve and that her connection to Lil&#039; Kyubey allows her to sense them. Downstairs, Yachiyo is on the phone and learns from Momoko that Karin suffered severe burns but is not in mortal danger. Yachiyo decides to regroup everyone to ensure they can protect themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome laments that the Magical Girls, despite their shared destiny, are entangled in human conflict due to differing pasts and ideologies. She pleads for the world to know and understand these girls who protect everyone while fighting for their own salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Satomi Medical Center, Alina states that a collision is unavoidable and that only &amp;quot;we&amp;quot; know the final outcome. She remarks that her &amp;quot;art&amp;quot; has been delivered.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc1&#039;/&amp;gt; Later, Karin is greeted by Alina in her hospital bed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 2: Smiles and Fireworks|Arc 2, Chapter 2: Smiles and Fireworks]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sixth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka meets Hazuki at a cafe to share information. Hazuki provides a report from the Union detailing that the city is being targeted by three external groups: Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, the Neo-Magius, as well as outsider Coordinators. These groups seek to acquire the Automatic Purification System and are searching for powerful energy sources called &amp;quot;Kimochi.&amp;quot; Hazuki reveals Promised Blood has already killed one Magical Girl in Kamihama, and their motive is revenge against the former Wings of the Magius, but they target all Kamihama Magical Girls by association. Hazuki confirms her team will not join the Union, believing it makes them a target and Nanaka states that while her team is not joining, it is time to formulate a response to the escalating threat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akira, Kako, and Ayame discuss the escalating attacks on Union members and Ayame reveals Felicia was injured and Kaede&#039;s team was hospitalized. Akira announces her decision to ask Nanaka for permission to join the Union as an individual, not as a team, to act as a bridge between the Union and her own team, with the belief that this is the best way to protect her friends. Ayame, inspired by Akira, resolves to speak with Konoha and Hazuki about her desire to help Felicia, even if she cannot officially join the Union. Akira encourages her, stating that family-like teammates may offer a different solution.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kako feels conflicted about joining the Magia Union, as she does not have a strong personal desire to join and fears she would only be following others. She also doubts her ability to stand against Nanaka&#039;s persuasive, logical arguments, but Akira and Ayame reassure Kako that her ongoing deliberation is acceptable, as the situation does not yet require an immediate decision.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At [[Walnut&#039;s]], Konoha reflects on the threat from Promised Blood and considers leaving Kamihama to protect her sisters. She discusses this with Manaka, who states she would help a friend in danger despite family worries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meiyui meets with Hinano, the southern leader of Kamihama Magia Union. She explains her team&#039;s non-participation is a strategic choice to observe the large, rapidly-formed organization&#039;s stability and questions Hinano on how the Union handles external threats, non-members, and potential defectors. Hinano confirms the Union operates on mutual aid and would not abandon non-members in a crisis, though members receive priority. Meiyui concludes that joining the Union may be necessary to gain internal information and mitigate risks if the organization collapses under external pressure. She decides to propose to Nanaka that at least one team member join while the rest maintain a strategic distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the evening, Nanaka concludes her meeting with Hazuki and explains her long-held belief that the Union is indeed necessary, however she has chosen to remain an external observer to maintain an objective view, believing that internal members can become complacent and that external support is needed if problems arise from within. Nanaka also reveals that the hostile arrival of outsider Magical Girls has changed the situation and that members of her own team have expressed a desire to join the Union. She informs Hazuki of her team&#039;s new decision is indeed to join Kamihama Magia Union as a full team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki returns home to Konoha and Ayame and, after a meal from Walnut&#039;s, Ayame confirms that she will not join the Union but expresses her desire to be able to help Felicia and others if they are in trouble. Konoha agrees and only asks that Ayame promises to consult with her before jumping into any dangerous situations. Konoha also reminds Hazuki not to overwork herself with information gathering and to share her burdens.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Seventh Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nanaka&#039;s team meets in an abandoned building to decide their official stance on Kamihama Magia Union. Akira reiterates her desire to join as an individual to act as a bridge and Meiyui states her intent to join to gather internal information and mitigate risks if the Union collapses. Kako herself admits she is still undecided and Nanaka announces the team&#039;s new policy: the team itself will not join Kamihama Magia Union, but individual members are now permitted to join if they wish. She sets conditions that members must maintain their independent thought and act in the best interests of the team and their loved ones.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Akira and Meiyui arrive at Mikazuki Villa to formally join Kamihama Magia Union and they clarify to Iroha and Yachiyo that they join as individuals, not as representatives of their full team and that Nanaka and Kako still remain outside the Union. Akira relays a message from Nanaka expressing a desire for continued mutual cooperation and Yachiyo and Iroha respond in kind, formally welcoming Akira and Meiyui into the Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Kako separately resolves that when she must finally decide, she will choose a path that helps everyone she cares for and allows her to stand alongside them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Another Story Chapter 2===&lt;br /&gt;
These days likely take place during the undated period before Part 2 starts, or otherwise early in Part 2.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Supplemental Day 1:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha sends a message to invite Shigure and Hagumu to a dinner party to celebrate getting the second Kimochi Stone. Shigure receives the message at the Neo-Magius headquarters. Hagumu, having just left her club activities early due to stress, instead meets with Shigure. While walking outside, they are approached by Juri, who questions them about a rumor she heard from Livia about collaboration between Promised Blood and Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls. They deny knowing anything, and Juri figures the rumors arose from Juri being seen with Shigure and Hagumu, who themselves are Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 2: Kind-hearted Connections|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 2: Kind-hearted Connections]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shigure and Hagumu meet with Kanagi at her cafe to discuss this rumor. She is unaware of such an issue, and before long has to return for her shift, so she has them wait outside until she&#039;s done. After she&#039;s out, Kanagi decides to take them to visit several Eastern Magical Girls themselves. They visit Himika, then Ryo, then Mito, Seika and Reira, and in the end Chiaki, deciding to leave the others for some other day. Each of the girls they visit are glad Shigure and Hagumu are okay after they&#039;d disappeared once joining the Wings of the Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They&#039;re surprised the others don&#039;t resent Shigure and Hagumu, and Kanagi flicks their foreheads playfully as &amp;quot;payback.&amp;quot; She invites them to freely reintegrate and befriend the rest of the Union. Kanagi then gathers other Eastern Magical Girls to organize a &amp;quot;Welcome Home&amp;quot; party for the two, and after discussing the best way among themselves, they decide to hold it in a park.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi organizes everyone into different teams, to gather supplies, food, find a good location, etc. Once the party is fully organized and in progress, Shigure admits to Hagumu that she doesn&#039;t want to be part of the Union, nor did she want a party. Shigure and Himika bond over not having one of their parents, and Seika tries to awkwardly befriend Hagumu with a cookie and standup routine. Later, Kanai tells Shigure and Hagumu that the situation for Eastern Magical Girls has changed since the formation of the Magia Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Supplemental Day 2:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri summons Shigure and Hagumu again to press for information, pretending she knew they went back to Kamihama, so they&#039;d be unable to lie in the event they did go. They explain the East-West conflict has subsided on the side of Magical Girls after the formation of the Union. Telepathically, they converse and agree with each other that they shouldn&#039;t tell Juri that the Union is working with another group, the Tokime. Before she leaves, Juri threatens them to not try anything against her or Promised Blood.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shigure and Hagumu discuss their decision and resolve to remain with the Union for the time being. Shigure gets another text from Iroha, inviting them to a dinner party, and they decide to accept her repeated invitations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===New Mirrors Ranking Held!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Meguru prepare for the Mirrors Ranking event while stacking boxes, with Mitama recognizing Meguru by her energetic commentary voice. Mitama explains she is only accepting urgent adjustments due to preparations, and Meguru excitedly looks forward to commentating the biggest Mirrors event yet, which will be open to Magical Girls outside Kamihama with modified scoring rules and generous prizes. Meguru confirms the core rules remain unchanged so veterans will not be confused, and Mitama approves her plan to interview participants for promotional commentary.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;newmirrors&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - New Mirrors Ranking Held!|New Mirrors Ranking Held!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia and Yozuru discuss the event, and Yozuru informs Juri&#039;s group about the prohibition against cheating. Juri and Ranka express interest in testing their skills against copies, while Hikaru decides to consult Yuna first. Yozuru also informs Hagumu and Shigure, overcoming their reluctance by highlighting Hagumu&#039;s Witch-hunting ability and the potential rewards, and the two agree to participate together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;newmirrors&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meguru conducts interviews with Kamihama Magia Union members and then the Tokime Clan. Iroha vows to aim for top rank, supported by Yachiyo, while other members share their motivations. When Iroha mentions the Tokime Clan, Meguru immediately sets off to interview them. Chiharu eagerly anticipates meeting other Magical Girls, Shizuka and Sunao see value in observing different combat styles, and Ryoko bursts in declaring her intention to claim the top rank, inspiring the group with her determination.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;newmirrors&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1474.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, participants gather for the event. Sudachi communicates with Yozuru through her own speech, and Mitama notes the successful turnout while Meguru delivers hype commentary previewing the tournament&#039;s drama. Meguru announces Mitama&#039;s official opening of the Mirrors Ranking to massive cheers from the assembled Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;newmirrors&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mixed Summer!===&lt;br /&gt;
* Rena Minami, Kaede Akino, and Momoko Togame are out of school when Kaede mentions a contest on an exclusive student app called Tomosa, where teams of six must submit a ten-minute summer movie for a chance to win prizes including a Sweetie Bunny stuffed doll. Momoko finds the bunny cute, so Rena suggests entering to win it for her and uses the app&#039;s matchmaking function to find four other girls. They agree to meet immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mix/&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mixed Summer! ~ The Phantom Best Shot ~|Mixed Summer! ~ The Phantom Best Shot ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the meeting point, Rena and Kaede find Hikaru Kirari, Ao Kasane, and Yozuru Sasame. Hikaru is upset about working with Kamihama Magical Girls, but Ao explains they joined because the contest seemed interesting, while Yozuru reveals it was Livia&#039;s suggestion for special training. With one member still missing, they move to a burger place to discuss details. After some disagreement, they decide to go to the beach that day to scout locations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mix/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, they arrive at the beach to scout locations, visiting a lighthouse and a beach house. While exploring a rocky area tied to a mermaid legend, Rena and Hikaru fall into the water and spot a fin, panicking until Kaede realizes it is a dolphin. Safely back on the rocks, Rena gets an idea for their movie about someone investigating a mermaid legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mix/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They head to the beach house to ask permission to film, but the mascot, an octopus named Hacchi, has escaped. They split up to search, and after a series of mishaps, they find Hacchi and return it to the grateful manager, who grants them permission to film and gives them snacks. They refine their movie plot, but tensions between Rena and Hikaru persist, leading to a volleyball match to settle things. Through various team shuffles, Rena and Hikaru are forced to cooperate, and they win together, awkwardly praising each other afterward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mix/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They still need a climax for their movie, so Yozuru suggests visiting an abandoned lighthouse tied to an urban legend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mix/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at the lighthouse, a group of thugs challenges them to a volleyball match for the right to film there. Rena accepts, and despite initial arguments, Ao calls a timeout where Rena admits she does not think Hikaru and Ao are that bad. They win using Ao&#039;s strategy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mix/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to plan but discover someone used their accounts to post insults and a picture of a broken fish tank. They rush back to the beach house and find Hacchi&#039;s tank smashed and Hacchi gone, leading the manager to ban them. They also find the mermaid legend signboard destroyed. The culprit is the missing sixth member, a young elementary school boy, who admits he did it because they only pretended to get along. Before they can confront him, they discover he has a Witch&#039;s Kiss. They defeat the Witch, freeing him, and Rena admits their success was due to everyone&#039;s help. The boy explains he wanted friends but lost hope seeing their hostility. They decide to apologize to everyone as a group, and the manager forgives them. They invite the boy to join, but he declines, saying they get along fine without him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mix/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They spend the rest of the day enjoying the beach together, but at sunset they realize they cannot agree on which prize to pursue. Unable to resolve the conflict, Rena disbands the group.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mix/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in Kamihama, Rena and Kaede tell Momoko what happened. Another group won the Sweetie Bunny, but Momoko is glad they tried for her sake. Kaede shows her the footage Yozuru recorded, and afterward, Rena asks Momoko to join them next time, and Momoko agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mix/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Part 2==&lt;br /&gt;
The second part of the story of Arc 2 encompasses [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 2|Chapter 2]], and [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 3|Chapter 3]]. A few days are noted to have passed since the fifth day of Part 1 and it is unknown if its next two days intersect with any of the days from Part 2.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;First Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Kimochi are now recognized as energy cores scattered from the remains of the Embryo Eve, which possess the same energy needed for the Automatic Purification System. All the factions of Magical Girls discuss between themselves on how to collect them before their enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Second Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia interrupts the tension by telling the rest of Mikazuki about the &amp;quot;Decagon Ball Stamp Rally,&amp;quot; a public event offering a group ticket to Moo-Moo Farm as a prize. She desperately wants to participate, but Yachiyo refuses due to security concerns for Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Ryushin, Iroha gives the rest of the Union Touka&#039;s report about the Kimochi and also tells them what they know about the other factions. They decide they must collect the Kimochi, but they&#039;re at an impasse as Ui would be in danger if she&#039;s spotted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the way home, Iroha has the idea to use the Stamp Rally as a coverup to allow Ui to search for he Kimochi. She also wonders if the Tokime, as well as the Neo-Magius would be willing to help. The group decides to have Yachiyo and Tsuruno help Touka and Nemu move their base, and in the end they&#039;ll all reconvene at Moo-Moo Farm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s Shop, Kanagi gets a call from Hinano, where she&#039;s notified about the rally and asking her to help Yachiyo win the tickets to Moo-Moo Farm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Yuna and Juri briefly return to Futatsugi to recruit new allies and confirm that Witches are reappearing in their home territory now that the Magius are no longer capturing them. They leave Hikaru and Ao in Kamihama to keep watch of their enemies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Kagome gets a message from Yachiyo detailing the plan as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Third Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102301 dekagonstamp.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikazuki Villa, along with members of the Tokime Clan, Shigure, Hagumu and Kagome, participate in the stamp rally across Kamihama. Ui decides to stay out of the event and just watch from the sidelines instead. Meanwhile, Yachiyo, Tsuruno and Mifuyu help Touka and Nemu move their base of operations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, Yuna talks to a Magical Girl who just moved to the city. As she agreed to join, Yuna has decided to test her soon. Juri also reports that Witches are indeed returning to the city and the two decide to return to Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the rally, Mikazuki collect stamps for Felicia while Hikaru and Ao observe them from a distance atop a building.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Shizuka, Chiharu and Sunao await at the farm themselves, awaiting Iroha&#039;s call. Se soon calls them and lets them know they will be there soon when they get a few more stamps.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* By late afternoon, Hikaru and Ao follow Mikazuki on the train, suspecting the stamp rally is a diversion. The Mikazuki team, aware they are being followed, pretend to be oblivious until the end of the rally. As they meets with the Tokime at Moo-Moo Farm, Ui senses the Kimochi in the nearby Hokuyo mountains and that it has less magic than the previous one.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Hikaru and Ao attempt to leave, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Tsuruno ambush them with the intent to capture them. Iroha suddenly gets a call from Momoko, who lets her know that Karin is now allowed visitors in the hospital. After Iroha ends the call, a battle ensues as the teams surround Hikaru and Ao. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102301 asahisnipe.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The two are overwhelmed in the battle, but manage to hold their own until they&#039;re saved by the arrival of Yuna and Juri. As Promised Blood escape, Shizuka orders Asahi, who&#039;s in a hidden location, to intimidate them with her sniper. She shoots and Hikaru manages to block the bullets with her body, and Promised Blood reluctantly retreats.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At their Kamihama base, the others help Hikaru pull  the bullets out of her, thankful that they&#039;re shallow wounds. Yuna comes to the realization that they will need connections in Kamihama after all. Due to this, Juri locates Hagumu and Shigure, who have recently joined the Union but still feel powerless. Juri intimidates and forces them into a battle which she easily wins. Afterwards, she makes them become informants for Promised Blood, demanding their knowledge of Kamihama, specifically the Hokuyo area, in exchange for not harming them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Satomi Medical Center, Momoko visits Karin and Alina, who appears to have amnesia. Momoko suspects it is a ruse to avoid responsibility for her past actions, but Alina states she has chosen to remain in the hospital because her &amp;quot;opus,&amp;quot; which Karin implies is herself, is there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As the Mikazuki group and the Tokime return home after somewhat narrowing down the Kimochi&#039;s location, they learn that Alina is in the hospital and now has amnesia. However, even the Tokime are suspicious of this. Suddenly, Asahi appears and introduces herself to everyone, letting them know she was the one who shot at Promised Blood at Moo-Moo Farm earlier. She offers to help Ui find the Kimochi, since she can see clearly at night, but they refuse, as Ui cannot find the Kimochi in this darkness regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With no other options, Shizuka invites the others to have dinner at the Suitoku Temple nearby. The two teams bond together through their shared interests, where Chiharu tells Tsuruno and Felicia about Detective Todoroki, and Sana tells Sunao about Mr. Purrs-a-lot. In the end, they agree to go back looking for the Kimochi the next day after school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At their base, Promised Blood discuss among themselves and decide their best bet is to try and get the Kimochi in the Hokuyo forests. Yuna decides she will use her magic to cause a distraction in Kamihama so they can gain the upper hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In her room, Kagome decides that besides the Union, she also needs to interview Yuna and her group tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* With intel from the girl in Kamihama, Yuna decides to visit Karin in the hospital. Kagome trails Yuna with Rii&#039;s help and suddenly gets a text from Iroha, who tells her she will look for the Kimochi after visiting Karin herself. Yuna approaches Kagome before she can reply and Kagome asks Yuna if she can follow after her to record Promised Blood. Yuna allows Kagome to follow her, but she tells her she won&#039;t wait for Kagome to catch up. Meanwhile, outside school, Juri makes Shigure and Hagumu give her a tour of the Hokuyo mountain area.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Mikazuki and other members of the Union visit Karin in the hospital, Hikaru spreads stones on the trains on the north of Kamihama. Yuna has used her unique magic of Target Redirection on ordinary stones imbued with magical energy throughout the night. To Magical Girls sensing the area, it would appear as though a massive army of hundreds of Magical Girls is invading the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako examines Alina&#039;s head, but her magic returns the same reaction as before, meaning that she can&#039;t tell whether Alina is lying or not. They discuss the possibility of stopping Alina from transforming, but Sakurako refuses to hold her accountable if she&#039;s really lost her memory. The girls soon depart and Karin promises to try and rehabilitate Alina.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Three trains with the imbued stones head for Shinsei-Chuo, Daito Hall and Minaminagi Seaside Park. Promised Blood&#039;s plan works, with Tsuruno, Felicia, the Amane sisters, and Hinano all reporting a sudden, overwhelming influx of magical signatures entering Kamihama. The Union and their allies are forced to divert their attention and manpower to these perceived invasion points to defend the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* This diversion leaves Iroha and Yachiyo with minimal support to search for the Hokuyo Kimochi. They decide to continue the search with a small team, and the Tokime Clan in Suitoku Temple also decide to assist in the Kimochi hunt after Shizuka gets a message from Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102302 pb sisters.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna&#039;s diversion is successful and many Union members detect what appears to be a massive invasion  train. They converge on Central Ward to investigate, but the &amp;quot;invading Magical Girls&amp;quot; are revealed to be a trick. Hikaru acts as a decoy to keep them occupied, until Yozuru appears and stops the fighting, letting them know that fighting in a Coordinator&#039;s area is prohibited.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Simultaneously, in the crater left behind by Hotel Fendt Hope in the Hokuyo mountains, Iroha and Shizuka&#039;s team is ambushed by Promised Blood. Yuna, Juri, Ao, and their reinforcements, having used information coerced from Shigure and Hagumu, surround them, now also aware of the Kimochi&#039;s location. A pursuit ensues through the forest where Shizuka is wounded by Ao.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Kagome briefly stumbles upon Shigure and Hagumu, then leaves, the two decide to deliberately mislead Yuna&#039;s forces and provide Iroha&#039;s group with a secret escape route, allowing them to flee. Iroha&#039;s team successfully escapes the mountains without securing the Kimochi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team catches their breath after running away from Promised Blood, when Sudachi appears and forcefully carries the injured Shizuka all the way to Puella Care. In Central Ward, while Shizuka gets treatment, the teams converge and report on the day&#039;s events.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102302 shizuka sleep.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Promised Blood has scoured and secured the area, but they&#039;re still unable to locate its Labyrinth. They realize that the Kimochi they defeated only appeared after Yuna felt powerful emotions. Yuna decides they will simply try again tomorrow and attack the Union some other way. Meanwhile, Yachiyo receives intel from Mifuyu, who deduces that the Kimochi&#039;s Labyrinth is located within the ruins of Hotel Fendt Hope, and that all the Kimochi will appear in places previously connected to major Uwasa. Mifuyu proposes a plan to infiltrate the hotel and secure the Kimochi while minimizing direct combat. They will select a team of three to head towards the Kimochi at dawn and suggest a deal for both parties to enter the Labyrinth at once, with whoever defeats the Kimchi being the winner. However, after the negotiations, the team will destroy the stairs in the basement of the chapel, and the Union members will retreat through a hidden passage to trap the Promised Blood members. After Shizuka&#039;s attack, the Union decides not to ask the Tokime for help this time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In her home, with Rii&#039;s help, Kagome is able to understand that the fight is over and everyone is going home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102601 hime alex meet.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Likely during this time, Alexandra tries to infiltrate the Neo-Magius as it faced disbandment. She sees Himena in distress on her own, and upon talking notices her incredible tenacity. With the belief that her strong determination could revive the group, Alexandra recruits Himena for the Neo-Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 5: Shaky Ideals in a Hazy Love Song|Arc 2, Chapter 5: Shaky Ideals in a Hazy Love Song]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chapter 2, Part 5===&lt;br /&gt;
These two days take place sometime during the third, fourth, or fifth days of Part 2, sometime after Karin&#039;s allowed visitors. The first day can either take place during the third, or fourth day, while the second day can either take place on the fourth or fifth day. These events follow Nayuta and Mikage&#039;s journey in Kamihama, which for the most part is separate from the other events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Supplemental Day 1:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Nayuta Satomi]] moves into a house prepared by her missing father Tasuke, a folklorist who had been collaborating with her to research and publish a book exposing the truth about Magical Girls to the world. Accompanied by [[Lavi Himuro]], her housekeeper, Nayuta begins her search for her father in Kamihama, a city he indicated was safe for Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They get a knock from [[Mikage Yakumo]], whom she had previusly met while fighting. Despite Nayuta&#039;s initial reluctance, Mikage insists on helping with the search, sharing a common goal of wanting the world to acknowledge Magical Girls. Nayuta&#039;s first lead is her uncle, the director of Satomi Medical Center, so she goes to talk to him with Mikage. Nayuta is reluctant to ask for his help, as he previously would undermine Tasuke&#039;s research, so she takes some rest outside. There, her and Mikage encounter Alina as she&#039;s painting. They&#039;re then interrupted by Rena and Kaede, whose visit to Karin was postponed after sensing the new magical signatures. They mistakenly believe Nayuta and Mikage are hostile reinforcements for Promised Blood and the ensuing confrontation and chase force them to run away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rena chases them back to where Lavi is waiting for them, but the three manage to escape. At school, Momoko and Tsuruno hear word of this apparent attempt at Alina&#039;s life, and so they decide to meet at Banbanzai later to discuss what to do next. Nearby, Sakuya spies on them, and she&#039;s confused as Yuna hadn&#039;t discussed attacking Alina, and believes Yuna is either hiding something, or someone&#039;s using Promised Blood&#039;s name.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102304 cheap candy shop.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Having gotten away from Rena, Nayuta decides to instead find veteran Magical Girls Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa, whom her father had interviewed years earlier. Mikage reveals she knows of them and directs Nayuta and Lavi to a candy store in Sankyo Ward, in the western part of the city. After they eat candy together, Lavi goes back to Nayuta&#039;s house so she can get dinner ready. However, Nayuta and Mikage encounter a Witch and assist Rena and Kaede in defeating it, hoping to prove their peaceful intentions. After the battle, Rena and Kaede agree to take Nayuta to Mitama&#039;s to meet other Union leaders to vet her. However, Mikage panics at the mention of the Coordinator and runs away. Nayuta chases after her, as she says she can&#039;t go to the Coordinator, and says she needs to go to the ocean instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Banbanzai, the Kamihama Magical Girls discuss the newcomers. Yachiyo and Tsuruno conclude they are not a threat, as they are weak, not coordinated, and targeting Alina would not benefit Promised Blood&#039;s primary goal. Yachiyo decides to talk to them, and if anyone sees them to let them know to come to Ryushin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* By late afternoon, after Mikage calms down, Nayuta respects the fact that she doesn&#039;t want to reveal why she can&#039;t meet with the Coordinator. Nayuta is shaken with her experiences in Kamihama, concerned about what Promised Blood is. They&#039;re suddenly approached by Ranka and reinforcements of Promised Blood, intending to capture the two for having used their group&#039;s name. Ranka&#039;s group defeats them, also knocking Mikage unconscious and Nayuta reveals that it was a misunderstanding. She tells them that she&#039;s a foreigner and Mikage was simply helping her out. Ranka makes Nayuta believe she will kill Mikage, but she stops at the last second. The two feel a powerful surge of magic, and Ranka decides she will still capture the two regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Sana, Sunao and Kagome return from the Mr. Purrs-a-lot cafe, as Sana needed someone to accompany her, Rii notifies Kagome that there are other Magical Girls nearby. Sana and Sunao depart to find them and successfully drive away Ranka&#039;s team. Sana recognizes the two as the Magical Girls they were told about at Banbanzai, and after hearing Nayuta&#039;s side of the story, they decide to take the unconscious Mikage to the Coordinator for treatment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Lavi transforms and fights forces of Promised Blood, declaring they will not misrepresent Promised Blood, nor will she join the conflict at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Coordinator&#039;s Shop, with other Union and Tokime members, Mitama is shocked when Sana and Sunao bring Mikage, her sister who she didn&#039;t know was even a Magical Girl. Nayuta explains that she only met Mikage recently while hunting a Witch, and the two became friends. She also explains her reasons for being in Kamihama is that her father, Tasuke Satomi, told her the city was safe for Magical Girls, and he has gone missing after his last known location was traced there. She reveals they were collaborating on a book to expose the truth about Magical Girls to the world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Shizuka, and Kagome all confirm separate encounters with Tasuke, and the conversation reveals that Nayuta is the cousin of Touka. Touka herself also arrives at that moment, and Nayuta slaps her for having mocked her father&#039;s research years earlier. Touka apologizes profusely, admitting her past mistake and stating she now believes in her uncle&#039;s work. Separately, Iroha regrets having called Touka over to begin with. Nayuta declares she does not forgive Touka but agrees to a ceasefire for the time being. Mitama apologizes if Mikage caused her any trouble, and before Nayuta leaves to go back to her house, she tells Mitama that Mikage is always welcome to come over.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Supplemental Day 2:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage visits Nayuta, telling her to hurry up before they head outside, waving goodbye to Lavi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Separately, Mitama and Kanagi discuss the difficulty of somehow restraining Mikage and keeping the secret of Mitama&#039;s own wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fifth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome is woken up early by Rii, as multiple Magical Girls are on the move, and she goes to follow them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu and the Amane sisters enter the area to negotiate with Promised Blood. They propose a contest: the Union will reveal the Labyrinth&#039;s location, and both sides will then race to defeat the Kimochi inside, with only three members from each team allowed to enter at a time. Promised Blood, represented by Juri, agrees to the terms.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As agreed, reinforcements from both sides arrive, balancing their numbers. While Kanagi and Momoko&#039;s team wait on standby at the forest, Juri permits them to open the Labyrinth of Fendt Hope. The combined groups proceed into the hotel, with Mifuyu&#039;s team guiding Promised Blood through the corridors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Kagome visits Suitoku Temple and talks to Shizuka, letting her know of the Magical Girls on the move. Shizuka realizes her clan is staying inactive and prompts them to go to Fendt Hope and aid the Union regardless of the Union&#039;s wishes. The Tokime Clan take off and also carry Kagome with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* From outside the Labyrinth, the next groups enter, those being Hikaru, Ao, their team, Kanagi and Momoko&#039;s team. Now all fourteen Magical Girls navigate Fendthope together. Afterwards, Mikazuki Villa and other Union members arrive outside the entrance of the Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Union team leads Promised Blood to a chapel deep within the Labyrinth, also the designated ambush point. On Mifuyu&#039;s signal, the Union members destroy the staircase leading into the chapel, trapping the Promised Blood team inside. However, Promised Blood anticipated this betrayal, and Juri and her team immediately attack, preventing the Union members from fleeing. The trap backfires, leaving both groups confined in the chapel and initiating a direct battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka&#039;s team joins with Iroha&#039;s outside the entrance, where they&#039;re fighting Yuna, Sakuya, Ranka and their forces. All of them enter the Labyrinth, including Kagome, and the Union team notices that Mifuyu&#039;s team isn&#039;t coming to help and they realize something must&#039;ve gone wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102303 turquoise kill2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Three battles occur simultaneously. Iroha&#039;s team fights the Uwasa of the Queen Bear outside of Hotel Fendt Hope, part of the Union led by Hinano and the Tokime fight Yuna and other members of Promised Blood inside of the hotel, and Mifuyu&#039;s and Momoko&#039;s teams fight Juri and Ao&#039;s teams in the chapel. After the Uwasa is defeated, the [[Falling - Turquoise Ear]] Kimochi appears. Shizuka and the Tokime Clan join the battle and she, alongside Felicia defeat it, however the Kimochi Stone is bonded to Felicia. With the Kimochi defeated, all groups decide to retreat from the area and fight again another day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At sunset in Suitoku Temple, Shizuka is fully healed, even showing it off to Kagome. Shizuka, Chiharu and Sunao were invited to eat dinner at Mikazuki as a celebration for Shizuka&#039;s recovery. Shigure and Hagumu were also invited.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At their base, Yuna realizes they cannot rely on the emotional triggers to draw the Kimochi out, so they won&#039;t be able to locate next Kimochi without Ui. However, she reveals to her sisters and Hikaru that she has a plan to force the Union&#039;s hand.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102303 kidnapped ui.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* While shopping for the dinner, Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Ui, Shigure, and Hagumu hear cries for help from an alley. They find an unknown Magical Girl, [[Urara Yume]], being harassed by members of Promised Blood. The Union members drive the attackers away and during the confrontation, Tsuruno instructs Shigure and Hagumu to stay back and protect Ui and the rescued girl. However, after the fight, they discover the rescued girl has vanished and Ui has been kidnapped. Shigure and Hagumu confess they were coerced by Promised Blood to act as accomplices, and the &amp;quot;attack&amp;quot; was a ruse to separate Ui from them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Afterwards, as Shigure and Hagumu are alone, the Magical Girl [[Himena Aika]] appears, mocking them for their weakness, and offers to bring them to the top.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Livia talks with Kyubey and lets him know about Ui being kidnapped, as well as what all the factions are up to.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 3: Dawn Within the Perpetual Night|Arc 2, Chapter 3: Dawn Within the Perpetual Night]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui wakes up in an office space in Futatsugi and Promised Blood gives her a map, asking her to indicate all the locations of the Kimochi she discovered during the stamp rally. They give her some time alone to consider and due to the Union&#039;s actions, they surmise that they don&#039;t know the locations of the Kimochi either. To mitigate risks, Hikaru is sent to conceal traces of them and their base.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Shizuka cannot shake the bad feeling left by Yuna&#039;s words, which cut deep with their accusation that she is an empty husk who cannot exist without others. Sunao notices something is bothering her and suggests she take a break, worried about the pressure of traveling from the remote mountains to a bustling city. When Shizuka protests they need to help Iroha rescue Ui, Sunao points out that if they are too supportive of Iroha, some branch families will protest. Chiharu arrives with a call from her mother asking them to return to the village, and Shizuka agrees they cannot ignore their mothers. She decides they should return, also giving the other girls a rest, and Chiharu suggests inviting anyone interested in Tokime Village to come along.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome learns that Ui was abducted by Promised Blood, and elsewhere, Promised Blood members discuss their situation, with Ao worried about incriminating items and Hikaru assigned to reconnaissance. Back at Mikazuki Villa, Iroha wakes early, unable to sleep from worry, as the group prepares to search for Ui without any leads.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sixth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the Union gathers at the Ryushinkan dojo to discuss the situation. Kanagi reports that Promised Blood has not made contact, and Hinano warns they might harm Ui to extract information, though Tsuruno notes that Ui is the only one who can sense the Kimochi without conditions. Felicia grows impatient, but Sana points out they do not know where the base is. Touka and Nemu arrive with a GPS transmitter, proposing they plant it on a Promised Blood member to track their location. Kanagi agrees to handle this in the east with the Amane twins. After the meeting, Kagome confides in Ryo about her struggles as a neutral journalist, and Ryo reassures her that her perspective is valuable.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, in Tokime Village, Shizuka, Chiharu and Sunao are welcomed by their mothers. Chiharu appreciates the lack of malice, while Shizuka is moved to tears by the unchanged atmosphere. They learn the village now runs an inn and sells local products after losing their income.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi meets with Tsukasa and Tsukuyo at the old railway yard, suspecting it might be Promised Blood&#039;s base. They encounter Hikaru, who claims she is also investigating them. Kanagi attempts to read her mind to find Ui&#039;s location while the twins try to immobilize her, but Hikaru&#039;s subordinates interfere and she escapes. However, Kanagi successfully plants the transmitter on her. They search the railway yard but find nothing incriminating, though Kanagi receives word that other Union members also succeeded in placing their transmitters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in Tokime Village, Shizuka confides that she cannot shake Yuna&#039;s words, feeling a fundamental gap between them despite sharing the same pride. Chiharu and Sunao reassure her that their shared feelings matter more. When Shizuka admits her feelings toward Yuna are confusing, Chiharu&#039;s mother suggests she might actually hate Yuna, something Shizuka has never experienced before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mikazuki Villa, Touka begins analyzing the tracking data while everyone eats dinner. The signals show Promised Blood members moving north, contradicting their theory that the base is in the east. They watch as the dots leave Kamihama entirely before the signals are cut off. Touka reveals her surprise was hacking their phones to steal geographical data, and she will use that to pinpoint their location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, at the Promised Blood base, Hikaru discovers the transmitter on her clothing and destroys it, but not before the data is captured. Urara brings Ui instant curry and urges her to cooperate, but Ui refuses, saying she would rather die than sacrifice everyone else. Yuna observes that Ui is prepared to die, making threats useless, and decides they need to create an opening instead. She returns Ui&#039;s phone with a dead battery, noting the wallpaper photo of her sister, and tells her no one will ever find her there, subtly suggesting she has one way to communicate with the outside world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Elsewhere, the girls in Tokime Village are informed that money has been stolen from the communal safe, but they are told to focus on researching Diviners instead of investigating. They visit the site where Shizuka and Chiharu became Magical Girls, and Shizuka explains how the village chief decides wishes in advance for the sake of Japan, a tradition not all families follow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102401 littlekyubey.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Ui sends Lil&#039; Kyubey with a map of the Kimochi locations and a letter explaining she is likely in Futatsugi City. However, Yuna anticipated this and intercepts Lil&#039; Kyubey, taking the map but leaving the letter, hoping it will lure the Union to Futatsugi where they will have the home-field advantage. Lil&#039; Kyubey escapes with the letter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Tokime Village, Shizuka wanders alone, contemplating how different she is from others. She concludes that as head of the main family, she must lead the clan, but they will never be fully compatible with the Union because her duty to the Tokime Clan comes first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Seventh Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Iroha updates Momoko on their progress: Touka is analyzing the hacked phone data, Yachiyo is investigating where the signals were cut off, and Tsuruno discovered that one of her classmates, a girl named Sakuya, is a Promised Blood member who was present at the battle of Fendt Hope. Yachiyo and Touka investigate the signal cutoff point together and deduce the girls must have entered a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth, which would have blocked the signal. Meanwhile, Tsuruno confronts Sakuya directly at school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, in the archives of the Tokime clan, Sunao reads worm-like letters that Chiharu cannot, and they find a diary of a former Diviner describing how she protected the village until her Jewel clouded over, at which point she looked forward to the coming of age ceremony that would allow her to leave. Chiharu realizes these girls were tricked and killed, and Shizuka confirms that Diviners were exploited until their powers ran out, their bones resting in the waterfall basin where Shizuka and Chiharu were pushed. Shizuka leads them to the ceremony site, where Diviners were thrown to their deaths dressed in fine clothes, and she carries their regrets to avenge them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha and Tsuruno chase Sakuya to a quiet area, where Iroha pleads for information about Ui. Sakuya admits she knows where Ui is but insists she isn&#039;t obligated to tell them. However, she reveals that she lost her best friend in Futatsugi too, which is why she understands Yuna&#039;s pain. She also states she doesn&#039;t believe Yuna will kill Ui, and if Yuna ever tries, Sakuya plans to stop it herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at Mikazuki Villa, the group discusses Sakuya&#039;s words and feels relieved that Ui is still alive. Suddenly, Lil&#039; Kyubey arrives battered and carrying a letter. Sana recognizes the handwriting as belonging to the same person who wrote the Darkrow letters delivered by Mr. Purrs-a-lot, and she decodes it. The letter confirms Ui is in Futatsugi City and includes a map of the Kimochi locations, though Yachiyo realizes the map itself must have already been taken from them. Touka calls to confirm she has located the Promised Blood&#039;s base in Futatsugi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, elsewhere in Kamihama, Mitama finishes adjusting Mikage, who feels warmer than before. Though Mitama worries about the danger in Kamihama, Mikage insists on helping Nayuta find her father so he can spread the truth about Magical Girls to the world. Mitama reluctantly agrees, asking Nayuta to look after her and keep her out of group conflicts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta brings Mikage to the Satomi Medical Center to speak with Touka&#039;s father, hoping he might know where Tasuke is. He confirms he has also been searching for his brother but has found no information, noting that even Touka was influenced by the strange book Tasuke wrote. Before Nayuta can respond, Mikage and Lavi are recruited by Alina to model for a painting, with Mifuyu apologizing for dragging strangers into it. When Nayuta admits her visit was a dead end, Alina observes that Nayuta seems lost and suggests that if you are lost, you can always go back to the entrance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at home, Nayuta considers Alina&#039;s advice and realizes she needs to go through all of her father&#039;s documents again for clues she might have missed. Remembering Touka&#039;s father mentioning that Touka was influenced by her father&#039;s book, Nayuta reluctantly calls her cousin. Despite their strained relationship, Nayuta asks for Touka&#039;s help in tracing her father&#039;s steps by identifying addresses from sent emails. Touka agrees, admitting that Tasuke is a special person who changed her life too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night in the Tokime village, Chiharu smells malice and they find a man under a Witch&#039;s Kiss stealing documents, including the list of Diviners. Shizuka&#039;s mother subdues him with a Gaze Locking technique, and the girls rush off to defeat the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They defeat the Witch easily thanks to adjustments they received in Kamihama, and afterward Shizuka&#039;s mother explains the thief was addicted to gambling and exploited by the Witch. She agrees to teach Shizuka the Gaze Locking technique before she returns to Kamihama tomorrow, as Shizuka has now experienced the strong emotions needed to learn it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Eighth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Lavi and Nayuta continue sorting through Tasuke&#039;s documents and discover pages detailing a visit to Futatsugi City involving Promised Blood, which concerns Nayuta. Ranka overhears them and warns against mentioning Promised Blood carelessly. Though Nayuta fears the girl who attacked her before, she resolves to continue her search, and Lavi suggests asking Mikage about Ranka&#039;s school uniform just as Mikage arrives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, the Union launches a two-pronged operation: Team Mikazuki and Momoko&#039;s group head to Futatsugi to rescue Ui while the south and east teams monitor Promised Blood. However, Yuna&#039;s group has already anticipated this and heads to Minaminagi by train, planning to seize the Kimochi there while Iroha&#039;s group walks into their trap.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102405 alina millers.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Hospital, Mifuyu checks on Alina, who has just completed a strange painting entirely in blue that Karin realizes is actually multiple canvases connected into one enormous landscape. When Mifuyu asks if this is Endless Mirrors, Alina confirms this is where she is, guided by someone deep within her, though she will not answer when Karin asks who that is.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, at the Tokime clan&#039;s village, Shizuka&#039;s mother trains her in Gaze Locking, a technique that conveys strong emotions through eye contact. She demonstrates by making Shizuka&#039;s knees give out from fear, then reveals she learned it during an argument with Shizuka&#039;s father, much to her daughter&#039;s shock. The training continues for hours, with Shizuka&#039;s mother pushing her to picture someone she hates. Shizuka focuses on Yuna Kureha, thinking she cannot forgive her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in Kamihama, Mikage identifies Ranka&#039;s school, and after three days of waiting at the gate, Nayuta finally spots her. Ranka apologizes for attacking her and, after Nayuta honestly admits she was frightened by Ranka&#039;s Witch-like power, agrees to connect her to Juri. During a phone call at a cafe, Juri recognizes the Satomi name and reveals that Tasuke intervened during a violent dispute between Magical Girls eight months ago, mediating when Promised Blood was about to let people die and knowing far too much about Magical Girls for an ordinary man. Though Juri has no idea where Tasuke is now, Nayuta is relieved to learn this heroic side of her father.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka calls urgently to say Promised Blood has kidnapped her best friend, and Nayuta worries Juri might be using her as bait. Touka reveals the email that led Nayuta to Kamihama was sent from Nayuta&#039;s own house in Takarazaki, shocking Nayuta with the realization that her father came home only to disappear again. Though Lavi suggests respecting his wishes, Nayuta refuses to give up, viewing her father as her research partner and finding it unforgivable that he would vanish without saving anything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As the sun begins to set, Shizuka finally articulates her answer: the Tokime Clan must carry the wishes of past Diviners, defeat the injustice of becoming Witches, and devote themselves to the Land of the Rising Sun, unlike those who treat Diviners as tools. When her mother pretends to cut up their history to test her, Shizuka masters Gaze Locking, stopping her with a powerful glare. Relieved, Shizuka&#039;s mother tells her to return to Kamihama. Shizuka gathers everyone, and Sunao receives a call that Promised Blood seized a Stone in Minaminagi and Ui has not been rescued yet. Asahi asks about their alliance with the Union, and Shizuka admits she was losing her identity as a Tokime and conceding too much, but assures Chiharu they have no reason to fight and must take care of themselves first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, Iroha and her friends find Ui&#039;s base empty and are ambushed by Promised Blood. Yuna, Hikaru, and Sakuya arrive with impossible speed, and Hikaru deliberately separates Iroha from the others, chasing her through the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile in Minaminagi, the Union team defeats the Uwasa protecting the Kimochi and engages Beauteous Pearl Eye. Promised Blood arrives to join the fight, followed by Himena and Alexandra of Neo-Magius. With everyone joining forces, Ao successfully defeats the Kimochi, which transforms into a bracelet. Shigure and Hagumu remain caught between factions, with both sides demanding they choose soon.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After their battle in Minaminagi, Juri, Ao, and Ranka discuss their victory. Ao teases Juri for not using her stored magic, and Juri says the Union retreated. Ao quietly thanks her, admitting she now understands why the Ryuugasaki girls look up to Juri despite her violent methods. Suddenly, Ao senses a Kimochi nearby, and despite Ranka&#039;s protests, Juri insists they fight it now while things are going their way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102402 fall hikaru.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, throughout the night, Iroha manages to defeat Hikaru and shows her mercy by cleansing her Soul Gem. Yachiyo&#039;s group learns from Sakuya that Yuna now intends to kill Ui, forcing them to plan their escape from Futatsugi. Hikaru, confused by Iroha&#039;s mercy, warns her that Yuna will not show the same kindness. Yuna, upon learning of Hikaru&#039;s failure and Sakuya&#039;s betrayal, prepares to lure Iroha to the catacombs and begin making Ui&#039;s grave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back in Kamihama, Kagome proposes using Ryo&#039;s photographs alongside her writing to inform the public about magical girls. Ryo agrees and decides to investigate a lead from Touka about a point of interest in Daito. Kagome reflects on the day&#039;s events: Ao now possesses the Kimochi bracelet, Himena and Alexandra remain enigmatic figures, and the Tokime Clan has returned to their tranquil village, leaving Kagome to wonder what Shizuka has been doing there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Having arrived in Kamihama, Shizuka&#039;s group also senses the Kimochi and recognizes Promised Blood&#039;s magic. Shizuka decides to go after them to get the Stone, prioritizing what the Tokime must accomplish. When Chiharu protests about Ui, Shizuka insists they must carry the thoughts of past Diviners.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They enter the barrier and are assaulted by the Uwasa of the Flower Speaker, a deafening noise that disorients everyone. Shizuka volunteers to act as a decoy by running into Promised Blood first. As Ao prepares to take the Uwasa&#039;s attack and create an opening, Shizuka suddenly attacks her, declaring the Tokime will emerge victorious. Ao argues that if they reclaim the Automatic Purification System, Magical Girls will be freed from their duties, but Shizuka questions whether Ao sees Diviners&#039; duties as merely a burden. She uses Gaze Locking on Ao, paralyzing her with fear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Enraged, Juri attacks, and Shizuka welcomes the confrontation, intentionally siccing the Uwasa on Promised Blood. While Ranka shields the frozen Ao, the Tokime strike the Uwasa from its defenseless rear, delivering a powerful blow. The dying Uwasa lashes out violently, breaking their formation, and Promised Blood&#039;s grunts pin them down just as the Kimochi, [[Robust - Opal Head]], begins to appear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102403 burning opal.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* With both groups scattered, Shizuka realizes she is alone against the Kimochi. Juri and Ao attack together but make little progress. Shizuka proposes they fight together or both be wiped out, and Ao agrees to release the Tokime. United against the Kimochi, they successfully restrain it, but when they pour everything into the assault, Promised Blood holds back. Juri reveals she bet the Kimochi would not die in one attack and conserved her magic, then unleashes it all to deliver the final blow and claim the Stone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As the Promised Blood sisters prepare to leave, Ao admits she is still afraid of eye contact, and Shizuka explains it was an accident activated by anger. Juri calls them weird and leaves before sunrise. Chiharu asks if Shizuka is worrying again, but Shizuka says she is simply rediscovering how different she is from others. Chiharu reassures her she heard everything during Gaze Locking practice and will keep being a Diviner, following the head family&#039;s wishes. Relieved, Shizuka feels the Tokime Clan has built a strong and noble pillar that will not be easily shaken.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Unbeknownst to them, Ryo, who had followed her lead from Touka to investigate a point of interest in Daito, witnesses their departure, muttering that the Magius was right and there must be a secret route in this area. Ao senses someone watching and Juri regrets getting careless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Ninth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* By dawn, Kagome decides to seek Nemu and Touka&#039;s help with writing and social networking the next day. Meanwhile, Yuna confronts Iroha, who surrenders upon realizing she has been found. Yachiyo wakes Felicia, who slept through everything and mistakes the situation for an enemy attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Early in the morning, Tsuruno leads an assault on Promised Blood&#039;s hideout with Sana, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Yachiyo, and Felicia. They rescue Ui, who reveals the Second Sister obtained a Kimochi Stone, but Urara admits Yuna has Iroha and plans to turn her into a Witch. The group forces the catacombs&#039; location from Sakuya and rushes to save Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the catacombs, Yuna shows Iroha Ui&#039;s hair tie and a Grief Seed, falsely claiming Ui became a Witch. As Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem begins corrupting, the Kimochi within her bracelet intervenes and Ui&#039;s voice reaches her, confirming she is alive. The Mikazuki Villa group arrives, and Yuna reluctantly allows them to take Iroha in the sacred burial ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102404 freight train.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* As they escape, Juri and Ao appear with two Stones, but the exhausted Kamihama group jumps onto a passing freight train. Yuna&#039;s forces give chase but are repelled by Tsuruno. Kyubey appears to both groups, revealing only two Kimochi Stones remain and that controlling the Automatic Purification System requires one person to gather all of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that morning, Yachiyo meets with Mitama and learns the Promised Blood likely used the Endless Mirrors Witch to warp across distances, meaning the original Labyrinth may have become a terminal connecting to similar Witches nationwide.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Shizuka worries about telling Mikazuki Villa that the Tokime Clan must declare independence, though she intends to maintain friendly relations. She decides to join Chiharu and Sunao when they visit to watch Mr. Purrs-a-lot with Sana.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome reflects on the escalating conflict and prays for Nayuta Satomi, the daughter of the scholar who first taught her about Magical Girls, as she searches for her missing father alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakuya is summoned to the Ryuugasaki base by Juri and Ranka. They confront her about her recent actions, having deduced she was the source of the leaked information that led to the failed missions against Iroha and the rescue of Ui. Sakuya confesses immediately, explaining she acted to prevent Yuna from crossing a moral line by killing people she had personally known and spoken with. She believes this would permanently destroy the kind person Yuna once was. Juri is enraged and nearly attacks Sakuya, but Ranka intervenes, arguing that Yuna, as the First Sister, should make the final judgment.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 3: I&#039;ll Show You My Resolve|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 3: I&#039;ll Show You My Resolve]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Sakuya reflects on her past, remembering how Yuna’s kindness saved her when she was a new, frightened Magical Girl. She recalls Yuna’s past mercy, even towards rivals like Juri, whom she defeated but spared. Sakuya resolves to save Yuna from becoming a &amp;quot;demon&amp;quot; on the inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac3/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri reports Sakuya’s confession to Yuna. Despite Juri’s insistence on harsh punishment, Yuna decides to be lenient, placing Sakuya under surveillance by Hikaru. Yuna states that if Sakuya interferes with their plans again, she will deal with her personally.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac3/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tenth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Sakuya, now demoted and distrusted by her peers, is assigned to a general patrol group. Her first mission is to investigate and eliminate any Magical Girls from Kamihama found in Futatsugi. She soon encounters the idol Sayuki Fumino and her friends, Mayu Kozue and Ria Ami, who have come to Futatsugi for a performance. Sakuya lures them into an alley to ambush them, however, another Promised Blood member, who is a fan of Sayuki, intervenes to protect the idol. Sakuya, understanding the girl’s inability to harm someone she loves, stages a fight to allow the Kamihama group to escape, and this act of mercy is witnessed by Hikaru, who reports it to Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac3/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Yuna summons Sakuya to the Futatsugi catacombs. Declaring Sakuya’ actions unforgivable, Yuna agrees to hear her out only if Sakuya can defeat her in a duel. In a desperate fight, Sakuya manages to land a single blow on Yuna. Impressed by her resolve, Yuna and Juri spare her life, and through telepathy, Yuna reveals that she needs Sakuya to stay by her side specifically to ensure she does not lose her humanity completely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac3/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:207303 end.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakuya agrees to rejoin Promised Blood and fight for Futatsugi, but only after securing Yuna’s promise to show some mercy to their enemies. At dawn, the three watch the sunrise from a bridge, with Sakuya inwardly vowing to remain at Yuna’s side to protect her heart until the conflict ends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac3/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dependence Blue===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place at a point before Part 3 begins, likely starting at some point during Part 2.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* While Alexandra splits off to recruit allies from her hometown, the Neo-Magius members Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu arrive in Takarazaki City with the goal of recruiting San Kagura and Miyuri Yukari, both former instructors for the Wings of Magius. At the station, a woman crashes into Hagumu and steals her bag, but two local Magical Girls named Jun Kazari and Mitsune Miwa intervene, recover the bag, and photograph the criminal before introducing themselves as heroes who protect Takarazaki. San and Miyuri arrive shortly after and confront the group about being late, with San proposing a test: if the Neo-Magius can solve the increasing crime and accident situation in Takarazaki within ten days, thus before the Hikarizuka Fire Festival begins, then she and Miyuri will agree to join their cause.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Dependence Blue|Dependence Blue]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Himena uses a Crime Information Map to identify high-crime areas and times, then sends Shigure and Hagumu to search for strong Witches while she plans with Hiko, the boyfriend who exists only inside her head. Shigure and Hagumu find and defeat a Familiar, mistaking it for a Witch, and Shigure grows frustrated, feeling that Himena treats them like pawns, though Hagumu encourages her to trust their leader for now. Himena later calls them to a restaurant and reveals her findings: crime spikes in the evening near the station, leading her to theorize that a single strong Witch is responsible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, Himena leads the group in hunting the Witch&#039;s Familiars to draw it out, and the Witch chases them into alleyways where they encounter Jun and Mitsune again. The five Magical Girls defeat the Witch together, but Himena refuses Jun&#039;s offer to team up permanently, stating she only wants their criminal photos for information, and Jun and Mitsune leave.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The fourth day sees Shigure and Hagumu reporting their progress to San, who notes their slow pace and suggests they either get to know Himena better or abandon the test entirely. While walking, they encounter an elderly shopkeeper who asks them to tell Jun that she is always welcome at the Tomorrow Shop, and Himena messages them to research sewers and tall buildings for a vertical search strategy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the fifth day, Shigure confronts Himena about making them do dangerous work while she avoids it, confessing that she hates her. In response, Himena goes to the sewers alone, finds a Witch, and returns covered in filth before meeting them at a bathhouse to apologize for not considering their feelings. She shares her backstory: her boyfriend Hiko died and now exists only inside her head, and she seeks the Kimochi stones and Automatic Purification System so she can love freely without judgment. The three bond over this revelation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, while investigating tall buildings, Shigure and Hagumu encounter Jun and Mitsune defeating a Witch and learn the truth about them: Mitsune is a former shut-in who came to Takarazaki to change herself by pretending to be a hero online, with Jun supporting her, and they are not connected to the town&#039;s problems. Shigure and Hagumu report this to Himena, and Hiko suggests recruiting them, so Himena sends the pair to Alina Gray at Satomi Medical Center to obtain one of her pet Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the seventh day, Shigure and Hagumu meet Alina, who has amnesia about her past, and after they explain her history and magic, she enters her barrier, confirms the Witches inside, and gives them one sealed in a cube. Himena successfully recruits Jun and Mitsune by explaining the Neo-Magius seeks Magical Girl supremacy, and they agree to cooperate, with San noting that Himena&#039;s leadership naturally attracts others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The eighth day arrives with Himena presenting the plan: seven of them will encircle the Witch&#039;s suspected location, with Shigure and Hagumu waiting at the central spot alongside Alina&#039;s Witch while the others search surrounding areas. When Shigure and Hagumu release the Witch from its cube, it proves far stronger than expected, but the group converges and defeats it together. San and Miyuri agree to join the Neo-Magius, unaware that Mitsune&#039;s magic has already begun affecting everyone&#039;s memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Three days later, the group celebrates their apparent success but notices the situation in Takarazaki has worsened rather than improved. San discovers the truth and confronts them, and Himena reveals this was Hiko&#039;s plan all along: by faking a solution, they could observe whether the problem persisted, thereby proving a different culprit existed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Himena explains her findings: Mitsune&#039;s magic lingers at the station where criminals pass through daily, and Mitsune&#039;s routine of calming the public unconsciously uses her perception-altering magic, causing increased crime and accidents. Mitsune realizes the truth and despairs as her Soul Gem darkens, and just as her Doppel emerges, she uses her magic to make everyone forget her existence before fleeing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Himena, guided by Hiko&#039;s clearer memories, helps everyone recall the truth about Mitsune, and they realize she is likely still in Takarazaki, fighting alone to atone. San reveals the Youth Association has disappeared, taken by a Witch threatening the festival, so the group splits up to search.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Jun finds Mitsune in the Labyrinth&#039;s deepest area, and they fight together but are overwhelmed until Shigure and Hagumu arrive to help. They defeat the Witch, but Jun is fatally wounded, and before dying, she expresses hope that Mitsune will become strong enough to lead others someday. Mitsune&#039;s grief triggers her Doppel again, and she wakes up in the hospital with her mind altered to believe Jun is alive but overseas, and that they will reunite when she has truly changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few days later, Himena visits San and Miyuri, learning the festival was canceled due to the incident, which devastates them, but they reaffirm their commitment to the Neo-Magius and San&#039;s goal of becoming a living god to resurrect the festival. Shigure and Hagumu visit Mitsune, who greets them with her signature &amp;quot;Hallo, hallo!&amp;quot; and explains that Jun moved overseas, promising to become strong enough to lead others by the time they reunite.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shigure breaks down crying outside the hospital as the group reflects that Mitsune has falsified her own perception to survive, keeping Jun&#039;s memory alive in the only way she can. They recognize that their shared wounds and regrets have forged a powerful bond, and Himena declares they will aim for the top together, honoring those who could not make their dreams come true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dependence&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Great Banquet that Transcends Time===&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the banquet, Madoka receives an invitation from Iroha while Yachiyo finds a flashing letter at Mikazuki Villa inviting the Kamihama Magia Union to a party at Suitoku Temple. Felicia recognizes the old-fashioned style as coming from the Tokime Tribe, and Iroha confirms the details with Shizuka, who mentions Mitakihara girls are welcome. That same day in Futatsugi, Yuna shows her own flashing letter to Promised Blood and decides they will attend despite objections from Ao and Hikaru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;banq&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Great Banquet that Transcends Time|The Great Banquet that Transcends Time]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Promised Blood meets and Yuna reveals spies reported the Union is training for the banquet. Suspicious of the letter&#039;s instruction to come prepared, she believes the party is a trap and plans to surround and destroy the temple. At Ryuushinkan, Iroha learns Promised Blood was also invited as the girls discuss their own performances, with Ui realizing she has nothing to show. At Tokime&#039;s temple, the girls practice and decide to rest before tomorrow&#039;s event. That night, Chiharu notices Sunao is late, Iroha arrives looking for Tsuruno, and Yuna appears searching for Hikaru. All three girls are missing, and when the letters are shown to the chief priest, he denies sending them. Everyone realizes three girls have disappeared after saying they were going to help prepare, forcing Iroha to cancel the banquet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;banq&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, searches yield nothing and everyone feels deja vu. Promised Blood continues searching and encounters Yuuna, who denies involvement and flees. The Union meets with Nayuta&#039;s household as Lavi recalls hearing of something similar. Iroha explains the situation to Touka and Nemu, who suspect an Uwasa. At Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Iroha find the Graveyard Banquet Uwasa in the rumor file. At the lab, Sakurako feigns ignorance while Touka realizes the Endless Mirrors may be allowing an old Uwasa from Kamihama&#039;s past to enter the present.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;banq&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Everyone gathers at Suitoku Temple. Touka explains the plan to find and break the specific mirror connected to Kamihama&#039;s past. Iroha, Shizuka, and Yuna volunteer to enter the Uwasa directly. The Mitakihara girls arrive, with Madoka saying she had a bad feeling. At the temple, the group realizes the letter itself is the trigger, and Yachiyo is transported inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;banq&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the graveyard Uwasa, they find Tsuruno, Sunao, and Hikaru exhausted and defeated. The voice demands performances. Various girls attempt acts, but nothing impresses until Yachiyo reluctantly sings her childhood song Macaron. The voice finally approves, revealing it sought embarrassment from proud people. They are guided deeper and must reveal embarrassing secrets in a tournament format.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;banq&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Mitakihara girls arrive in Sankyo Ward, where Nemu reveals a terrible truth: being approved means entering the Pure Land, which is the afterlife. Either way, those who enter die. Breaking the mirror after death will make it seem like a daydream, but they will remember dying. Madoka enters anyway.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;banq&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside, Madoka finds everyone dead, held by giant hands. Nemu&#039;s revision allows one person to be brought back by calling their name. Madoka calls Iroha, who wakes and realizes she was never free of the Uwasa&#039;s influence until she died. Together, they reject the banquet and destroy the Uwasa. The voice speaks cryptic words to Madoka about fighting a difficult battle and creating a future of salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;banq&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the terminal, the mirror fades and Mifuyu&#039;s team breaks it. At Suitoku Temple, the missing girls are safe, everyone recalling strange dreams about a banquet. The groups part ways, with Promised Blood acknowledging they will not forget today. Shizuka suggests they throw their own banquet now that everyone is here.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;banq&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the banquet, Felicia sings the macaron song while Yachiyo yells at her and Madoka laughs. Iroha asks Madoka if she remembers the voice&#039;s final words. They agree the voice was telling them to hold onto hope, and they may understand its meaning someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;banq&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Dream Halloween Festa===&lt;br /&gt;
* Before the Sakae Halloween Festa, Karin visits Mitama to request an adjustment that will make her the Pumpkin King. On campus, Karin recruits an unwilling Alina to help with decorating after Alina unknowingly signed up, hoping to show Alina that kindness is beautiful. When Alina refuses to work, Karin &amp;quot;orders&amp;quot; her with a sparkle of magic, and Alina finds herself pelted with hard candy whenever she resists. Throughout the day, hijinks ensue as Alina is forced to help with various tasks, and by evening, Karin learns complaints about Alina have arisen. Karin begs for another chance and assembles a team including Hotaru and Moka to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;festa&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Dream Halloween Festa ~Alina-senpai! Be a Good Girl!~|Dream Halloween Festa ~Alina! Be a Good Girl!~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group enters Hotaru&#039;s pillow world to brainstorm, where Karin devises plans to make Alina look kind by staging scenarios with ghosts. Alina eventually appears, having been brought in by Hotaru, and watches their failed attempts with confusion and annoyance. The day ends with everyone trapped in the pillow world because Karin cannot sleep.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;festa&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** On the first day of the Halloween Festa, the group remains trapped. They discover Karin&#039;s orders are absolute and that she unknowingly commanded herself not to sleep until Alina understands kindness. Attempts to force sleep fail, and Alina refuses to pretend kindness just to escape. Karin realizes she cannot demand Alina change while remaining the same herself, and Alina storms off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;festa&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** When Karin apologizes sincerely, Alina refuses to forgive her. Karin accidentally orders herself to disappear and vanishes. The group surmises Karin will only return if Alina genuinely forgives her. After much resistance, Alina finally calls out that she is forgiven, and Karin reappears, moved to tears. Karin falls asleep in Alina&#039;s arms, and the group finally escapes the pillow world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;festa&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Karin arrives at school to find Alina enthusiastically organizing the festival, having decided she can make any material her own. Alina admits she is only participating to avoid more trouble with Karin. When Karin transforms to show off to Mifuyu, she accidentally orders Alina to keep doing her best, and candy strikes Alina once more.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;festa&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the Halloween Festa, Alina gives her opening speech and declares everyone free to enjoy the festival as they wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;festa&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the festival, Karin reflects in her room. Despite everything, she still wants Alina to change, but this time she will start from scratch. She writes up her &amp;quot;Alina Gray Reform Plan&amp;quot; and decides to reread Magical Kirin to find messages that can fill her senpai&#039;s heart with kindness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;festa&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Part 3==&lt;br /&gt;
Part 3 encompasses [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 4|Chapter 4]]. While it is possible the first day of Part 3 immediately follows, or takes place on the last day of Part 2, it is unverifiable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;First Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Union council meets to discuss their approach, deciding to pursue cooperation with Promised Blood while acknowledging that compensation will be required from Kamihama. Iroha pleads for one last chance to negotiate with Yuna, arguing that uniting through their desire to save each other is the fastest path to saving all Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 4: Ultramarine in the Distance|Arc 2, Chapter 4: Ultramarine in the Distance]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The conversation shifts when Yachiyo explains that Mirrors Familiars have grown and now connect Labyrinths across distances, creating shortcuts between Kamihama and Futatsugi that Promised Blood has been confirmed to use. Mifuyu arrives with news that Alina has been painting maps that may lead to the original Witch&#039;s location, and Kanagi suggests forming an investigation team once negotiations conclude.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fifth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Four days later, at home, Nayuta tells Lavi that the security camera at her parents&#039; old house captured her father&#039;s image clearly, suggesting he might be hiding intentionally. Mikage arrives with handmade pin badges for their &amp;quot;Papa Search Party&amp;quot; and suggests they visit a foreign painter they met before, but on the way they encounter Mifuyu, Tsukasa, and Tsukuyo struggling to carry art supplies for Alina. Despite Nayuta&#039;s reluctance, they help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the hospital, they learn from Mifuyu that Nayuta&#039;s father once interviewed her and Yachiyo long ago. Nayuta admits her investigation suggests her father may not want to be found, and Mifuyu suggests he might be avoiding her out of love, similar to how Mitama hid being a Magical Girl from Mikage. Nayuta reveals her parents divorced years ago and her father is her only remaining family besides Lavi. When she mentions her mother is trying to regain custody, Mifuyu suggests contacting her for clues. Nayuta goes to her uncle, the hospital director, who knows her mother&#039;s contact information. He agrees to help but assigns her homework: she must bring her own answer about what it means to lose a loved one. He schedules another meeting in three days and promises to invite Touka as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night over dinner, Lavi shares her view that perspectives on death vary with knowledge and philosophy, but for her, it comes down to emptiness and acceptance, and the only truth is what we lose right in front of us. Nayuta finds this confusing but continues contemplating the homework.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sixth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hinano notices that Ryo seems troubled, suspecting her investigation into Promised Blood has become more serious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta retrieves the analyzed security footage and takes a break with Mikage at a parlor, where she shares her view that death represents hope, a chance for all souls to eventually melt together regardless of their differences. Lavi finds this hopeful perspective characteristic of Nayuta, while Mikage admits she doesn&#039;t fully understand but would be sad if anyone disappeared.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that night, Nayuta reflects on her uncle&#039;s homework while watching a drama, realizing that you don&#039;t have to die to lose someone. She recalls her parents&#039; final argument, when her mother had changed and struck her father. Nayuta remembers that her family fell apart because of her own wish; she hated her mother, yet losing her brought only sadness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Seventh Day:&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta meets her uncle and Touka in the hospital courtyard. Touka shares her answer first, speaking of death&#039;s inevitability and the limits of human reach. Her uncle agrees that separation is unavoidable. Nayuta then gives her answer: simply put, it means sorrow and anguish, and she cannot betray her feelings. Her uncle accepts this, saying he only wanted her to think. He agrees to contact her mother but warns Nayuta to consider her mother&#039;s feelings. He advises Touka to think of her surroundings rather than all humanity. Afterward, they encounter Tsukasa and Tsukuyo searching for Alina, who has disappeared from the hospital.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Eighth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome collects photographs taken by Ryo and transmits them with help from Touka and Nemu. With only two Kimochi Stones remaining, she senses an approaching struggle and resolves to fight despite her feelings of inadequacy and fear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Minaminagi Liberty Academy, a teacher announces volunteer opportunities for Kamihama&#039;s reconstruction. Ryo remains distracted, thinking about Promised Blood&#039;s secret route and Kagome&#039;s request to photograph Magical Girls. She decides to investigate the shortcut alone, and Hinano and Ikumi go after her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Alina approaches Ryo at school and invites her to investigate the Mirrors offshoot in Daito again. Ryo feels conflicted but cannot suppress her curiosity. Hinano warns Ryo against acting alone, but Ryo deflects by claiming she is focused on Kagome&#039;s project.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia reports that Promised Blood refuses to talk and the Tokime Clan is bickering with them. Iroha decides to contact Sakuya, their spy at the school, and Sakuya agrees to arrange a meeting with Yuna despite the difficulty. Yuna receives the message and agrees to listen, finding Iroha&#039;s persistence intriguing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night at Mikazuki Villa, the group discusses compensation for Promised Blood. Touka reveals she has prepared a method to increase the chance of joining hands but keeps it secret for now. They agree to bring Touka and Nemu to the negotiation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Suddenly, Juri crashes through a window, demanding to deliver Promised Blood&#039;s response in person. She presents terms: before meeting Yuna, Iroha must first meet with Hikaru and Sakuya and present what they are willing to give. Additionally, they must use Ui to find the Kimochi Labyrinth at Minaminagi. Iroha and Yachiyo accept the conditions. Kagome later notes this was the day they could have set their eyes on hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Ninth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102501 negotiations.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Touka, and Nemu meet Hikaru and Sakuya at Shizuku&#039;s coffee house to negotiate a potential alliance while Ui, Felicia, and Sana head to the cargo port to search for the Kimochi as agreed. Iroha&#039;s proposals are rejected, and when Touka and Nemu offer themselves as compensation to satisfy Promised Blood&#039;s wrath, Hikaru and Sakuya decide to take the matter back to Yuna.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While waiting for a response, Iroha fixes a loose button on Hikaru&#039;s coat, and Hikaru reveals that Yuna had done the same for her years ago. Iroha asks if Hikaru could help Touka and Nemu in an emergency, but Hikaru says it is impossible. Later that evening, Kagome, Touka, Nemu, and Sakurako gather at the radio telescope and discuss the progress, with Kagome worrying about Ryo, who continues investigating the Mirrors offshoot despite Hinano and Ikumi trying to stop her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Hagumu and Shigure resolve to change and decide to return to Juri and start fresh, aiming to become people who can stand on their own. Kagome watches from within the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura as negotiations continue, feeling terrified for Touka and Nemu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102502 sana ai.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102504 hane silhouette.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At the cargo port, Ui, Sana, and Felicia meet with Promised Blood as agreed and enter the Labyrinth with the Tokime Clan to search for the Kimochi. Inside, they encounter the Uwasa Labyrinth of the Anonymous AI that separates the groups, but Sana realizes they can open its heart by playing together rather than fighting. Ui offers friendship, and the Uwasa withdraws, revealing it was merely lonely. The Kimochi, [[Drifting - Diamond Hair]], appears and is defeated by the combined group, with Chiharu gaining the Bracelet. Shigure and Hagumu suddenly return and apologize to Juri, declaring they now have their own goals alongside new comrades. Juri is angered but decides to leave for now. Sana receives a message that negotiations have broken down and the Union needs to leave immediately. The Tokime Clan offers to help, but Himena appears with the Neo-Magius, attacks them, severs Chiharu&#039;s arm, and steals the Kimochi of Fear from her Bracelet before withdrawing. Juri arrives and mocks them for being bested.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Livia and Lavi discuss that the Union&#039;s actions have set things in motion that neither the Tokime Clan nor the Neo-Magius desire, with Livia preparing for casualties.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryo meets Alina at Daito, where Alina uses her connection to the voice inside her to pinpoint the Mirrors offshoot&#039;s location near Kamihama Prison. Hinano, Ikumi, and Karin arrive to stop them, but Ryo insists they must strike at the weak point now, and the group reluctantly follows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the prison, Alina confirms the magical reactions come from underground while Ryo searches for an entrance. Promised Blood members Ao and Urara detect them, and Ao alerts Yuna that Ryo&#039;s ability poses a serious threat to their Labyrinth. Yuna receives the message during negotiations and immediately orders Sakuya to break them off, leaving Iroha and the others confused. Yachiyo contacts Hinano and realizes Promised Blood likely interpreted their movement as betrayal. Underground, Ryo finds a door revealing how Promised Blood comes and goes. Above ground, battle erupts as Kanagi and Mitama arrive as reinforcements, but Momoko&#039;s team and Sana&#039;s team are blocked from reaching the prison.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102503 fall ryo ao1.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102503 fall ryo ao2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At the negotiation site, Yuna confronts Iroha, Tsuruno, and Yachiyo about Ryo breaking the ceasefire, revealing her true plan was to work Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls to death rather than slaughter them. At the prison, Ao breaks through the defense line and pursues Ryo as she emerges. Ao intends only to break Ryo&#039;s camera, but her blade strikes Ryo&#039;s Soul Gem instead, killing her instantly. Both factions are left reeling as Yuna coldly declares Ryo&#039;s death is the price of the Union&#039;s underhanded tactics.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102504 sapphire iroha1.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102504 sapphire iroha2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* As Ikumi collapses in grief, a Kimochi Labyrinth suddenly appears. The Kimochi of Grief, [[Unmoving - Garnet Pinky]], emerged in response to Ikumi&#039;s despair and forces both factions to fight it together. The Kimochi proves overwhelmingly powerful until Iroha&#039;s Bracelet lends her its power, allowing her to connect with Ikumi, who channels her grief into one decisive strike and defeats it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102504 kimochi concentration.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* With the immediate threat over, Yuna announces that now that all eight Stones are gathered, the real fight begins. She reveals Promised Blood has been tracking all Kamihama Magical Girls and has just ordered assassinations. Before anyone can act, another Labyrinth envelops everyone as the Kimochi declare they will choose which Magical Girls are worthy. The Kimochi vanish, and Promised Blood withdraws to heal their wounds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ikumi asks Kanagi to take Ryo&#039;s body back to the East, and the Union mourns together. Mitama warns that rumors are spreading in the East again, claiming the West seeks to rule all of Kamihama, and Ryo&#039;s death could ignite tensions once more. Meanwhile, the Tokime Clan, recovering from their fight with the Neo-Magius, hears news of Ryo&#039;s death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome reflects on Ryo&#039;s death, realizing she never truly understood the reality of being a Magical Girl until now. Back at Mikazuki Villa, the group receives a declaration of war from the Neo-Magius. Knowing their home is no longer safe, Touka leads them to an underground shelter prepared by the Satomi Group and announces her plan to use the facility&#039;s resources to spread the truth about Magical Girls and continue their fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tenth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102504 midorinewspaper.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
* As everyone mourns Ryo&#039;s death, an announcement at school declares the Midori Report discontinued. Kagome reflects that through this tragedy, the Magical Girls lost their final chance to band together, and she realizes Kyubey orchestrated the battle while their emotions prevented them from stopping him. She concludes that outsiders who know the truth must take action, and to do so convincingly, they need the help of folklorist Tasuke Satomi, Nayuta&#039;s missing father.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 4: Anguish in the Safe Zone|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 4: Anguish in the Safe Zone]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That morning, Yozuru and Sudachi investigate Mikazuki Villa and find a window shattered by a magical attack, confirming the Union leaders have been targeted. Livia tasks them with investigating the previous day&#039;s events and providing care to any Magical Girls they encounter, but instructs them not to mention Ryo&#039;s death to avoid seeming intrusive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta travels to Takarazaki to meet her mother at a cafe, briefly encountering Livia who asks for help with a Witch, though Nayuta declines due to her meeting. Yozuru and Sudachi visit Hozumi Coffeehouse and Emiri&#039;s Consultation Office, where they find Shizuku, Emiri, Asuka, and Sasara all distressed over Ryo. Despite their efforts to offer comfort through coffee and conversation, they realize their attempts to provide care have been ineffective against such profound sadness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta reunites with her mother, who has gathered information about her father&#039;s whereabouts. Nayuta apologizes for wanting only that, admits she hated her mother but might love her too, and describes the gap in her heart since she left. Her mother apologizes, reveals she knows about Magical Girl wishes, and gives her the information. Meanwhile outside the city, Livia meets with Kyubey, who claims the Kimochi Stone situation is an unpredictable deviation he did not orchestrate, and asks her to keep watch over Kagome Satori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102505 pray rabi.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta returns home exhausted to find Mikage waiting with Lavi. Mikage comforts her and promises to help find her father so the three of them can live together again. That evening, Yozuru and Sudachi report their failures to Livia, who shares Kyubey&#039;s request about observing Kagome. Later, Nayuta discovers a document about her father&#039;s actions in Yukuni City around the time he disappeared—something she had no knowledge of. Lavi finds a letter in the mailbox with no postmark, delivered directly. Nayuta recognizes her father&#039;s handwriting but becomes distressed upon reading it, declaring it is not from him. The letter states Nayuta&#039;s father has given up, claiming there is no way to save Magical Girls. Alone, Lavi acknowledges that with the Kimochi stones collected and casualties suffered, each action advances a clock toward a point where they will be forced to take lives themselves to keep watching over the girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Part 4==&lt;br /&gt;
Part 4 encompasses [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 5: Shaky Ideals in a Hazy Love Song|Chapter 5]]. It appears that not a lot of time has passed since Part 3, likely a few days at most.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;First Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the Kimochi&#039;s declaration, the factions and their primary objectives are defined. Promised Blood engages in guerrilla tactics, targeting individual Union members who possess Kimochi Stones to exhaust them. Whenever any of the selected girls are about to fight each other, their bracelets will envelop them in a Labyrinth in order to have them fight with each other.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha is ambushed by Hikaru, who demands her Kimochi Stone, and Iroha is horrified that Hikaru is unconcerned about Ryo&#039;s death. Yachiyo Nanami and Tsuruno Yui arrive to assist Iroha. Kagome also observes this fight from within the conflict zone, noting she can enter without being isolated, likely because she is not a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Afterwards, Hinano informs Ikumi that Iroha was targeted. Ikumi, still grieving for Ryo, is struggling to maintain her composure. Hinano encourages her to continue grieving.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In a meeting, Himena meets with Kyubey and questions how the Automatic Purification System would be used if acquired. Kyubey confirms that if one could acquire all the Kimochi Stones and bring the system under control, it would not be impossible. Himena is satisfied with this answer and is joined by San and Miyuri.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the Union members discuss the ongoing attacks from Promised Blood. Yachiyo deduces that Promised Blood is intentionally trying to cut down the Union members chosen by the Kimochi, so they decide to meet with the Tokime Clan to discuss the situation and the recent theft of Chiharu&#039;s Kimochi Stone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Union meets with Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka formally announces the end of their alliance with the Union, wit the reason being fundamental difference in their stances on being Magical Girls. The Tokime take pride in their role as protectors and do not view their contracts with Kyubey negatively, whereas the Union does. Despite this, the Tokime express that they hold no hostility toward the Union and would prefer if the Union were the last group standing alongside them. They agree to focus on different enemies—the Tokime will target the Neo-Magius, and the Union will focus on Promised Blood—and vow to cross blades in a final confrontation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Iroha confesses to Yachiyo that she cannot see a clear goal amidst the chaotic conflict. Yachiyo states that the possibility of an ending where everyone is saved was lost in the prison incident. Iroha also mentions her concern for Rena after she&#039;d befriended Ranka, who turned out to be a member of Promised Blood. The other Union members, along with Ui, comfort Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Second Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the looming election, Hagumu and Shigure report to Himena that they have observed no contact between the Union and Tokime, confirming the dissolution of their alliance. The Neo-Magius begin to formulate a plan and Himena reveals she still intends to recruit Shizuka into their ranks, believing their groups are similar. She tasks Hagumu and Shigure with attempting to persuade Shizuka despite their reluctance. After talking with Himena, Alexandra reports back to Folklore of Zero through the phone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, at Suitoku Temple, using Chika&#039;s ability to communicate with animals, the Tokime have discovered that Himena attends Kamihama Future Academy in Sakae Ward. They plan a targeted strike against Himena, believing that eliminating the Neo-Magius&#039; central pillar will cause the group to collapse. Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao agree that a small, focused attack is their best strategy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Third Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Hagumu and Shigure arrive at the temple on Himena&#039;s orders and they deliver the offer to join the Neo-Magius. Shizuka flatly refuses, stating that as long as their resentment remains, she will not offer her hand, though she might reach behind her back instead. After they leave, the Tokime finalize their plan to ambush Himena.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Chiharu, Chika, Ryoko, and members of the Tokime ambush Himena near her school and Chiharu confronts her about her lack of malice while hurting others, which she finds even more dangerous. Himena expounds on the Neo-Magius ideology of Magical Girl Supremacy, arguing that Magical Girls are superior humans who should rule over ordinary people. She invites Chiharu to join her, but Chiharu rejects this philosophy entirely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra and then the rest of the Neo-Magius arrive as reinforcements, so the Tokime, recognizing they are outnumbered, make a tactical retreat. After the battle, Himena reveals to her team that she confirmed the Tokime Clan is not a monolith and she sensed one member seemed interested in her words. She devises a new plan to &amp;quot;break&amp;quot; the Tokime from within, involving the creation of a specific costume.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra contacts Folklore of Zero to report on Himena&#039;s movements, but Himena had followed her and confronts Alexandra. She reveals her true affiliation and her role as an observer. She also delivers a prophecy to her that if Himena achieves her goals, she will die. Himena dismisses this and vows to prevent it, and for now, Alexandra is allowed to remain in the Neo-Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile at Mitama&#039;s, Union members discuss the ongoing situation and they receive reports that the Tokime attacked the Neo-Magius leader and that Promised Blood continues their guerrilla tactics. They debate attacking the prison but decide they need a more decisive strategy. Mifuyu reports that Alina, in an attempt to recover her memories, has agreed to cooperate with a team to map the Mirrors Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha contacts Yachiyo with news that Ikumi, overwhelmed by grief for Ryo, has run away and is likely heading for Kamihama Prison alone. Iroha and Momoko pursue her to stop her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the prison entrance, Hinano and Sakurako catch up to Ikumi and try to reason with her. Ikumi breaks down, stating that crying is not enough and she cannot forgive Ryo&#039;s killer. Sakurako, using Ryo&#039;s memories, tells Ikumi that Ryo would not want this and would prefer to see her smiling, which manages to reach Ikumi, and she agrees to stand down. Iroha suggests that cleaning and organizing the belongings of the deceased can be a way to mourn and sort through one&#039;s own feelings. Ikumi decides she wants to clean out Ryo&#039;s old newspaper clubroom at school.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome speaks with Iroha over the phone, who admits she is lost in the tangled conflict but still wishes for a way for everyone to be happy without anyone getting hurt. Kagome reaffirms her own goal of telling the world about Magical Girls, though she feels anxiety about how far she can follow the battle. Iroha suggests she consult Nemu Hiiragi for potential help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* A team consisting of Mifuyu, Yachiyo, Kanagi, and the Amane sisters prepares to investigate the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth with Alina, who is creating a map. After they depart, Yachiyo and Kanagi discuss the city&#039;s changing political landscape and Kanagi reveals she is assisting Mitama with the mayoral election, where an Eastern candidate is, for the first time, putting up a strong fight against the West.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Mikage returns home to find Mitama, who apologizes for her frequent absences and explains she is helping with the election to create a happier future for Mikage. At the same time, Nayuta receives a text from her father saying he has given up on saving Magical Girls, and she panics when she finds something moving in her futon, summoning Lavi who has already called Mikage for help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, Sana, and Felicia investigate the university library, where they find a partial map of Kamihama Prison&#039;s underground area. They are confronted by Shigure and Hagumu, who make a final, futile attempt to recruit them into the Neo-Magius. Later, Yachiyo and Tsuruno meet up with Iroha&#039;s group and they receive the news about Ryo&#039;s phone and the map she&#039;d made.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Sudachi has the day off, she meets Mikage. They discuss wanting to be useful, and Sudachi suggests investigating the Endless Mirrors together. At the labyrinth entrance, they hesitate, and Lavi finds them, warning Mikage not to worry Mitama. Mikage decides not to enter and instead goes to Nayuta&#039;s house.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka, Nemu, and Kagome collaborate with Nayuta on a project to reveal the existence of Magical Girls to the world. Their plan involves using impactful images, which are to be gathered by Kagome and Rii, powerful text written by Kagome and refined by Nemu, and a presentation strategy devised by Touka. They aim to post their work as high-quality &amp;quot;creative fiction&amp;quot; to gain a massive online following before revealing it as the truth, using Nayuta&#039;s missing father&#039;s media contacts to amplify the message. Nayuta, despite her doubts, agrees to help, partly to prove her father&#039;s pessimistic letter wrong. As part of this project, Kagome asks Touka and Nemu to help &amp;quot;complete&amp;quot; her Uwasa, the Wind Evangelist, to better protect her during her information-gathering missions. They also agree, seeing it as a necessary step.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During this time, at Nayuta&#039;s home, Mikage arrives and Nayuta shows her security camera footage of her father holding the final volume of his book, convincing her he has not given up. Nayuta resolves to follow her father&#039;s footsteps to Yukuni City, and though Mikage is upset at being left behind, Lavi suggests she investigate the Mirrors for Mitama instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Hozuki High School, Ikumi, Hinano, and Sakurako clean the newspaper clubroom, which belonged to Ryo. Ikumi has brought Ryo&#039;s broken camera, which was damaged by Promised Blood. During the cleaning, they discover Ryo&#039;s old photos and Sakurako reveals that Ryo&#039;s camera automatically transferred photos to her smartphone. Realizing the phone may contain Ryo&#039;s final work from inside Kamihama Prison, they contact Touka to bypass the phone&#039;s security.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Touka&#039;s office, Touka decides to contribute by successfully unlocking Ryo&#039;s phone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the radio telescope lab, they find that the phone contains a video message from Ryo, where she explains her method for navigating the prison&#039;s maze and how one can trace the correct path. In the event of her death, she&#039;d also left personal messages for Hinano, Kanagi and Mitama, Sakurako and Ikumi. Touka and Nemu confirm that Ryo&#039;s photos perfectly fill in the missing parts of the Union&#039;s underground map, providing a clear route to Promised Blood&#039;s secret and the suspected Mirror Witch offshoot.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Promised Blood plans to lure the Union into the prison, which they view as a perfect cage for their enemies. Yuna checks on Ao, who is struggling with the guilt from killing Ryo, but Yuna advises her to freeze her emotions like she does.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Neo-Magius plan to actively recruit members for their cause of Magical Girl Supremacy through a secret conference. Himena, San and Miyuri, learn from Kyubey and their own research that the Magius once summoned Walpurgisnacht and that Touka&#039;s family was involved in building a radio telescope. Himena devises a strategy to use the radio waves for a plan of her own, similar to how Touka did, as well as make costumes to infiltrate the Tokime.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Alina, Mifuyu and the Amane twins continue exploring the Endless Mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fifth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Chiharu, Chika, and other Tokime Tribe girls attempt to investigate the Neo-Magius in Kamihama, Neo-Magius agents, including San and Miyuri, secretly embed themselves within the Tokime ranks with Tokime disguises as well. San and Miyuri, while in disguise, slowly try to get the other girls more comfortable with the ideals of the Neo-Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102602 tokime traitor.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At sunset, Chiharu and Chika return to report to Shizuka and Himena, but San and Miyuri arrive to confront them, where Himena reveals that their &amp;quot;erosion&amp;quot; tactic has succeeded and that several Tokime members, including Sunao and Chika, have already defected. A brief skirmish ensues, but Neo-Magius retreats, promising to return for the remaining members the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102604 mirrors terminal.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, that evening, Mikage asks Mitama for permission to investigate the Mirrors and is allowed to go with Sudachi under strict conditions. Concurrently, Mifuyu updates Yachiyo on the investigation, noting Alina&#039;s map has proven accurate through sixteen layers, and she agrees to let Mikage and Sudachi join them despite concerns about managing Alina.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Mirrors, the group encounters a copy of Mitama, which attacks them after Mikage tests it. They reach the sixteenth layer and discover a terminal connected to countless Witch Labyrinths, but the room&#039;s impurity summons a powerful Witch and they are forced to escape. Afterwards, Mitama and Livia confront them, with Mitama apologizing for being overprotective and Livia agreeing to properly teach Sudachi coordination. Mikage decides the Mirrors are too dangerous for now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that night, Himena discusses with Alexandra how their tactics have unfolded until now and tells her that the two will visit Himena&#039;s hometown tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sixth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Kamihama Magia Union prepares to assault the city&#039;s prison to find and destroy the shortcut to Futatsugi created by the offshoot of the Mirrors Witch. At the Mikazuki Villa evacuation site, Crescent House, Kagome meets with Touka and Nemu to complete the Uwasa of the Wind Evangelist. Nemu explains that creating an Uwasa normally consumes a life-threatening amount of magic, but to mitigate the risk, she has pre-charged tools with her own magic. Touka warns Kagome of the dangers, stating the Uwasa could be linked to her ears or even directly to her brain, potentially causing intense pain or unknown consequences. Despite her fear, Kagome resolves to go through with the procedure, wanting to become stronger to help other Magical Girls and repay Iroha for saving her. She successfully merges with the Uwasa, which transforms its appearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Separately, throughout the day, Himena brings Alexandra to her hometown, and at a specific location, Himena reveals that this is where her boyfriend, Hiko, died and subsequently entered her mind through her contact with Kyubey. Their secret relationship, due to social standing differences, was discovered, leading to Hiko being bullied into a state of despair that Himena failed to notice until he ended his own life. She aims to create a world with no restrictions on love, where she and Hiko can be together without ridicule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During this time, the Tokime Clan investigates for the Neo-Magius base in Daito Ward with no success. Shizuka then reveals that two of their members, Sunao and Chika, along with some branch families, are not true defectors, but undercover agents pretending to have joined the Neo-Magius to locate their base. Sunao and Chika make contact, confirming their infiltration and promising to discover the base location by the next day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sunao and Chika successfully infiltrate the Neo-Magius gathering at the Kamihama Civic Center, where they identify the location as the base and plan to contact Shizuka. However, they are discovered by San and Miyuri and a battle ensues where Sunao holds off San and Miyuri to allow Chika to escape and send the location to Shizuka. Both Sunao and Chika are defeated and left injured outside the hall.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Upon receiving the message, Shizuka, Chiharu, Asahi, and Ryoko immediately rush to the Civic Center. They battle San, Miyuri, Hagumu, and Shigure at the entrance to break through to the main hall.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the prison, the Union begins its infiltration. Their strategy relies on Tsuruno, who has memorized a map from Ryo&#039;s photos, navigating to the goal while the others fight off enemies. The team is equipped with whistles to communicate and locate each other through the magical interference caused by the enchanted rocks as well. Iroha and Felicia are initially ordered to stay behind to protect the Kimochi Stones, but later they&#039;d decided to disobey and join the battle too. Along the way, they also meet Ikumi, who insists on joining.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Promised Blood uses enchanted rocks not to fake greater numbers, but to create a &amp;quot;jamming&amp;quot; effect, flooding the tunnels with magical signatures to confuse the Union members and separate them. They are aware of the Union&#039;s assault and take up defensive positions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Union teams are immediately separated and forced into individual battles. Momoko&#039;s team is ambushed from all directions by Hikaru and her army. Yachiyo, Ui, and Sana are targeted by Yuna&#039;s &amp;quot;Target Change&amp;quot; sniping magic, which allows her to attack from unexpected angles, as well as Urara.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102603 double fire.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsuruno is intercepted first by Ao and later, after Kanagi arrives and takes her on, Tsuruno is able to continue. However, she is soon intercepted by Juri. Their fight reaches a stalemate that nearly exhausts both of their magic, and Juri, in desperation, attempts to collapse the entire underground section they are in, but ultimately lacks the power to do so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ao, traumatized by her accidental killing of Ryo, is confronted by Ikumi. Overwhelmed, Ao&#039;s emotional turmoil causes her to lose control of her Kimochi Stone and enter a berserk state, threatening to bring down the entire prison underground. During the fight, Yuna locks Felicia&#039;s attack with her own power of Target Redirection, making Felicia cast her Oblivion magic upon herself, which initially only makes her faint. Ao&#039;s rampage forces a temporary, uneasy truce between the Union and Promised Blood to stop her and escape the collapsing tunnel. However, Kanagi is able to subdue Ao, but Sakuya protects Ao from further harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Both sides are forced to regroup outside the tunnels. Iroha and Felicia&#039;s timely intervention saves several Union members from being overwhelmed. Tsuruno deduces from her conversation during the fight with Juri that the Labyrinth connecting Kamihama and Futatsugi likely has multiple entry points beyond the prison. Separately at Crescent House, Kagome and the Uwasa of the Wind Evangelist are successfully merged.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside the Civic Center, Himena holds a speech for the captive Tokime branch family members, outlining the Neo-Magius&#039; goals. She explains their ideology of &amp;quot;Magical Girl Supremacy&amp;quot; and their concrete plan to seize control of Kamihama&#039;s Automatic Purification System.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka&#039;s team breaches the hall. To counter them, Alexandra uses her magic to drain the will to fight from Shizuka, Chiharu, and Asahi. Himena then orders Mitsune to use her Doppel&#039;s power to alter the perceptions of the Tokime members, making them believe they have always been part of the Neo-Magius. Shizuka resists by injuring herself to stay conscious, and she then uses a non-magical Tokime technique of the Locked Gaze to project her strong emotions and convictions to the brainwashed clan members. She rallies them by reaffirming the Tokime Clan&#039;s core ideal of standing alongside humanity and protecting people, not ruling over them. This speech successfully breaks the Doppel&#039;s mind-altering effect on a significant portion of the audience, causing a large-scale rebellion within the hall.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A chaotic battle erupts between the loyal Tokime members and the still-brainwashed faction. Chiharu confronts and defeats Himena in combat, and upon Himena&#039;s defeat, the Kimochi Stone she possessed emerges and interacts with her. In a subsequent mental confrontation, Himena resists the Kimochi&#039;s attempt to possess her body, reasserting her own will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With Himena defeated and the Kimochi Stone reclaimed by Chiharu, the Neo-Magius&#039; plan fails. Shizuka offers Himena a chance to disband the Neo-Magius and join the Tokime Clan, but Himena refuses. As Shizuka, angered by this, moves to attack the defeated Himena, Asahi intervenes and apparently kills Himena with a single blow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, it is revealed that Himena&#039;s death was part of a final contingency plan using Mitsune&#039;s Doppel to alter her allies&#039; perceptions, allowing the Neo-Magius to retreat from the public eye. However, the overuse of her power left Mitsune with lower-body paralysis, a condition similar to what Nemu suffers from. The Neo-Magius leadership regroups in hiding to plan their next move.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After being accepted by the Wind Evangelist, Kagome witnessed a clash between the Neo-Magius and the Tokime Clan at the Kamihama Civic Center, and from a distance, saw what she believed was Himena&#039;s death. She now understands this was a deception, and curses the fact that this illusion led to the current strained situation among Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, shortly after the confrontation at Kamihama Civic Center, Shizuka is troubled by Himena&#039;s accusation that the Tokime Clan&#039;s pride is a form of Magical Girl supremacy, akin to the Neo-Magius ideology. She reflects on her belief that all people are inherently good and that the clan&#039;s mission is to protect them, not look down on them. She struggles to reconcile this with how others might perceive the clan&#039;s pride.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 5: Confused by Good and Evil|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 5: Confused by Good and Evil]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, at Banbanzai, Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, and Ui discuss their recent discoveries. They learn from Tsuruno&#039;s father about an urban legend of a &amp;quot;Phantom Tunnel,&amp;quot; an abandoned subway project near the prison that was halted after the prison&#039;s underground was discovered. Separately, after Yuna had used her own unique magic to redirect Felicia&#039;s Oblivion magic back to her, Felicia awakens from a nightmare where she saw herself killing her parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During a campaign speech for Touka&#039;s father, who is running for office, a sudden wave of intense malice is felt by Chiharu and Shizuka. A man in the crowd, seemingly not influenced by any magical entity, throws a stone at the candidate, nearly inciting a riot. This event forces Shizuka to confront the reality that human evil exists independently of magical influence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, as Nayuta is about to depart that day, Mikage and Mitama see her and Lavi off at the station, but their farewell is interrupted when they witness the same attack on the political speaker. They chase the assailant into an alley before Lavi warns them back, and Nayuta arrives after delaying her trip, sensing something ominous. Lavi identifies the attacker as from the East and mentions unsettling rumors, and Mikage gives Nayuta crushed sweets bought with her allowance before promising to look after Mitama while she is away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As the group processes the event, Kagome reflects that Magical Girls exist because of humanity itself, not Kyubey, and that for others to truly help them, mankind must reconsider how it brings about peace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Seventh Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka takes a walk to clear her mind. She witnesses two brothers arguing; the younger one misinterprets the older one&#039;s helpful advice as condescension. This interaction makes Shizuka consider that the Tokime Clan&#039;s actions might be similarly misunderstood by outsiders. She coincidentally meets Natsuki, and they talk from behind separate trees to avoid being seen together. Shizuka confides her worries, and Natsuki reassures her that Shizuka&#039;s actions stem from a love for humanity, not a sense of superiority. Natsuki suggests Shizuka speak with the priest at her temple.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka returns to Suitoku Temple and discusses her feelings with the chief priest. He introduces her to the Confucian &amp;quot;Theory of Innate Goodness,&amp;quot; which posits that all people are born good and that those who do evil have neglected to nurture that inherent goodness. This philosophy strengthens Shizuka&#039;s resolve and her belief in the righteousness of her mission to protect people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Eighth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka returns to the park to return a cleaned kendama to the brothers, hoping to help them reconcile. She witnesses the older brother from the previous day save a child from being hit by a car, confirming her belief in people&#039;s innate goodness. The younger brother reveals he was also looking for the kendama to apologize. Shizuka determines that her pride is not about superiority but about her duty to protect the inherent good in all people, and she vows not to be swayed by Himena&#039;s words again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the defeat of the Neo-Magius, the Tokime Clan tends to its wounded members, Sunao and Chika. Shizuka also addresses a clan member who defected, reaffirming the clan&#039;s true mission to protect humanity, not to stand above it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka then speaks with Asahi, who fired the shot that &amp;quot;killed&amp;quot; Himena. Asahi states she made the judgment call to protect Shizuka from having to sully her own hands.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Ninth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka is conflicted, realizing that in the heat of the moment, she herself had the intent to kill Himena for insulting her ideals. She contrasts this with Iroha&#039;s methods, who seeks to avoid violence. Shizuka is left troubled, as Himena&#039;s words about the existence of evil and the hollowness of pure altruism continue to haunt her, creating doubt despite her reinforced philosophical beliefs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Our Beginning is a Recurring Dream===&lt;br /&gt;
* Hazuki meets with Nanaka to discuss the Kamihama Magia Union, observing that while Nanaka&#039;s team holds different views on joining, they remain united. She reflects that her own group&#039;s strict neutrality may no longer be viable, as Ayame has started making friends and helping them puts them at risk. Later, Ayame, Kako, and Felicia are confronted by Promised Blood members seeking revenge for a previous encounter. Ayame sends a vague warning before fighting, and she is ambushed and cornered, but Konoha and Hazuki arrive in time to rescue her. That evening at home, the three discuss their situation. Ayame wants to continue helping her friends, while Hazuki argues their neutral stance is no longer working. Ayame shares that she has been reading a career book recommended by Kako and thinking about her future. Konoha is uncertain and asks for time to consider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Our Beginning is a Recurring Dream|Our Beginning is a Recurring Dream / The Beginning of Our Overlapping Dreams]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama introduces the three to Nayuta, a Magical Girl from Takarazaki who recently moved to Kamihama. Nayuta has been attacked by Promised Blood, who mistook her for an impersonator, and she needs an escort to visit Satomi Medical Center to find information about her missing father. She asks the neutral trio to be her bodyguards. After discussing overnight, the three formally decide to accept. Konoha, despite her fears about change, agrees for the sake of their future. Ayame coins the name &amp;quot;Azalea Sisters.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, the Azalea Sisters escort Nayuta to Satomi Medical Center. They encounter Promised Blood members, including Sakuya, who is suspicious of their neutral claims. After a brief standoff, Sakuya decides to observe them for now. Nayuta explains she is searching for her father, a scholar researching Magical Girls who disappeared without explanation. They defeat a Witch near the hospital, and Nayuta shares her goal of publishing a book to inform the world about Magical Girls, hoping to reduce the number of girls who make contracts. Ayame is inspired by this.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the following days, the Azalea Sisters receive numerous bodyguard requests. They establish three conditions: clients must be Kamihama Magical Girls regardless of affiliation, they only take defensive actions, and payment is a Grief Seed shared after Witch hunts. Hotori requests their help, and Ayame coaches her to fight Witches independently. Hotori admires Ayame as her &amp;quot;Pink-senpai&amp;quot; and wants to become strong enough to protect her sister and friends. Through training, Hotori defeats a Witch on her own for the first time, and Ayame reflects on Nayuta&#039;s example, realizing she wants to do something for others, not just herself and her sisters.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Chika secretly hires them to distract the Neo-Magius so Tokime Clan members can return to their village. Hazuki devises a plan to pose as interviewers researching Magical Girl Supremacy, keeping the Neo-Magius occupied while Chika&#039;s group escapes. Chika explains she only recently learned of her connection to the Tokime Clan but loves them for restoring her faith in people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria requests help defeating a fast Witch near the preschool where she volunteers. After the battle, Maria shares her dream of becoming a nursery school teacher. Konoha is reminded of the Azalea House director and begins considering a future helping orphans.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day following these requests, the three reflect on how bodyguard work has changed them. All have begun thinking about their individual futures. They receive an urgent request from Sae Kirino, who was referred by Maria. Sae needs help defeating a Witch at the cargo port immediately. They arrive to find an offshoot Mirrors Labyrinth. Sae is anxious to enter, and sensing she is hiding something, Konoha decides to trust her and accept the request.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night inside the Labyrinth, Sae reveals her younger sister Sayumi wandered inside while looking for a lost stuffed animal. They search while fending off copies. Sae explains her family is the reason she works hard, similar to the Azalea Sisters. They find Sayumi&#039;s name tag and push deeper. A second Witch appears, having migrated through the Mirrors. They find Sayumi collapsed but alive. Sae insists on retrieving her sister&#039;s stuffed animal, which is stuck to the Witch. Konoha agrees while keeping everyone&#039;s safety in mind. During the retrieval, Sae is struck by an attack. Her Soul Gem shatters. She dies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, the Azalea Sisters return Sayumi home, lying that her sister is missing. They inform Mitama and Livia they are suspending bodyguard activities. The three are devastated and uncertain about the future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Each sister meets with friends who are worried about them. Ayame meets Kako, who insists they are not murderers and reminds Ayame how many girls she has saved. Ayame admits she is scared of letting someone else die and feels she cannot be a bodyguard anymore. Hazuki meets Nanaka, who seeks information about the Witch and observes that the sisters&#039; atmosphere has changed since becoming bodyguards. Hazuki considers returning to their old ways. Konoha meets Maria, who pleads with Konoha not to quit, saying Sae&#039;s death and their efforts would have no meaning if they give up. Konoha is moved and agrees to reconsider.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, the three gather to decide their future. Ayame wants to stop being bodyguards and stay in Kamihama, too afraid of causing another death. Hazuki wants to stop being bodyguards and leave Kamihama to start over somewhere new. Konoha wants to continue being bodyguards in Kamihama, honoring what they have learned and Sae&#039;s memory. They choose Konoha&#039;s path. All three have found dreams through their work and want to keep fighting for them. They resolve to complete Sae&#039;s original request: defeat the Witch that killed her and the offshoot Mirror Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, the three return to the Labyrinth alone. It has grown larger and more dangerous overnight. They struggle against increased copies. As they near the core, they are ambushed by copy traps but are rescued by Nanaka&#039;s team, Hotori, Rion, Maria, and Kako, who have all come to help after learning of their decision. Konoha accepts their help. The group clears a path while the Azalea Sisters push forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night and into early morning, they encounter the Witch that killed Sae. During the battle, a copy of Sae appears and leads Konoha deeper into the Labyrinth. Konoha chooses to follow. The copy attacks her, and Konoha is gravely wounded, collapsing near the core and facing the offshoot Mirror Witch alone. Hazuki and Ayame arrive. All three unleash their Doppels simultaneously, destroying the Witch and the Labyrinth. They emerge at the cargo port at dawn, exhausted but alive. Sae suddenly appears—she had used her unique magic to fake death and hide, but was trapped in the Labyrinth until its destruction. She is alive and well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Two days later, Sae visits to thank them and offer payment. They decline a second Grief Seed, asking instead that she advertise their bodyguard services as a living witness to clear their reputation. Sae agrees. The three discuss their futures over dinner. Konoha wants to work with children like the Azalea House director. Ayame wants to become a bodyguard. Hazuki wants to reform the system for orphans from behind the scenes. They make a new promise: to always support each other and make their dreams come true.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;recurring&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Witches&#039; Paradox Extermination Battle===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo and the others gather as Iroha explains that multiple Witches have suddenly appeared in Chuo Ward, emerging from Endless Mirrors. Touka warns that the mirrors may connect not only to distant lands but to the past and parallel worlds, potentially causing paradoxes if they defeat Witches from other timelines. As they discuss how to proceed, Iroha receives a call from Madoka, who reveals she and her friends are already in Chuo Ward and just fought a Witch that escaped them in Mitakihara months ago—complete with Madoka&#039;s arrow still embedded and her magic still present. Touka deduces that offshoot Mirrors must connect past Mitakihara to present Chuo Ward and assigns roles: she and Nemu will research paradox prevention, Iroha will contact Kyubey for information, Mifuyu and the Amane sisters will destroy the connecting mirrors, and all available Magical Girls will defeat the invading Witches while avoiding use of their Grief Seeds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradoxone&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Witches&#039; Paradox Extermination Battle|The Witches&#039; Paradox Extermination Battle 1]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu and the Amane sisters destroy the mirror connected to Chuo Ward while Madoka&#039;s team continues fighting Witches, struggling with not being able to use the Seeds they collect. After multiple battles, the group learns that a Kissed person has stolen a tanker truck to create poison gas. Iroha realizes the restricted area where Puella Care is based matches the conditions for such an attack. They arrive to find Livia&#039;s team already containing the Kissed crowd, and Madoka&#039;s group defeats the Witch while Iroha secures the scene.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradoxone&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Madoka&#039;s team has defeated seven Witches total. Madoka suddenly remembers that this number matches the seven Grief Seeds that a version of Sayaka gave her in the past—a memory only she retains. She realizes that future Sayaka traveled back through the mirrors to deliver those Seeds and balance the numbers. Sayaka must now make that journey herself, despite her exhaustion. She successfully travels through the mirrors, completes her mission, and returns.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradoxone&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Mifuyu destroys the mirror connecting to Mitakihara, a leaf stuck to Sayaka&#039;s uniform from hiding during her past encounter instantly vanishes. Touka later theorizes to Iroha that this demonstrates a corrective function in the universe—that paradoxes are gradually healed, possibly by the Mirror Witch herself. She suggests breaking responsible mirrors should nullify such phenomena. When Iroha asks about the waking dream she and Madoka shared of these events, Touka explains that voided events become dreams instead, leaving them with memories of things that both happened and never happened at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradoxone&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu senses a magical transfer and realizes a terminal mirror is still hidden, allowing witches to potentially move into Kamihama. She sends the Amane sisters to report to Touka while she searches for the mirror.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradoxtwo&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Witches&#039; Paradox Extermination Battle|The Witches&#039; Paradox Extermination Battle 2]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka confirms that witch reactions have appeared across the city, likely due to the Endless Mirrors connecting past, future, and parallel worlds to the present. This could lead to paradoxes that might destroy their world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradoxtwo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Breaking the mirror should undo the events, but Sana warns that memories of pain and death would remain. Yachiyo splits the group: the Amanes and Mifuyu will destroy the mirror while Team Mikazuki Villa exterminates the invading witches until then. Tsuruno suggests informing all Kamihama magical girls, and they move out. Soon, they&#039;re able to break the mirrors responsible and thwart the threat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradoxtwo&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Part 5==&lt;br /&gt;
Part 5 encompasses [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 6: Raison D&#039;etre on Thin Ice|Chapter 6]]. It is quite likely that no days pass between Part 4 and Part 5, however it is unverifiable, as at least a few days have passed from the sixth day of Part 4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;First Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia and Kyubey discuss the current state of Kamihama. Livia confirms that Himena was defeated, and the group has dissolved. However, a rumor she started—that Kamihama Magia Union&#039;s eastern and western factions had a secret agreement leading to Ryo&#039;s death—continues to spread and cause tension. Kyubey notes this infighting is beneficial as it causes Magical Girls to fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 6: Raison D&#039;etre on Thin Ice|Arc 2, Chapter 6: Raison D&#039;etre on Thin Ice]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Crescent House, Felicia shows signs of emotional distress, haunted by a dream where she killed her own parents, and the team attempts to cheer her up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At her cafe, Ikumi struggles with her work, burdened by Ryo&#039;s death. After work, Kanagi and Mitama discuss the political fallout from a recent mayoral election assault, while Mikage mentions the damaging rumor about the Union is spreading in the east.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In Yukuni, Nayuta continues her search for her father with Lavi and Alexandra. After seeing a girl with a Witch&#039;s Kiss, they save her from jumping and defeat the Witch. When she wakes up, she sees Nayuta&#039;s ring and becomes hostile when she realizes they&#039;re Magical Girls. She decides to simply stay away from them, but advises Nayuta to conceal her Magical Girl status in Yukuni.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Union holds a strategy meeting at Ryushinkan. To counter the rumor and distrust, they plan a joint operation with eastern and western members. The goal is for members not chosen by the Kimochi to destroy the Mirrors Witch and sever Promised Blood&#039;s shortcut from Futatsugi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Rena gets a call from Ranka, begging them to speak to her, as she was leaving Promised Blood in favor of the Union. Rena, as well as other Union members, meet Ranka at the game center to receive the information about their shortcut. After giving them some info regarding its hereabout, the meeting is interrupted by Juri, who violently retrieves Ranka. Once out of their range, Ranka tells Juri she overdid the act and actually hurt her. The Union plans to attack via two routes: the old trainyard and a route through Kosho Ward&#039;s Electric Town, based on information from Ranka. Union confirms the location of the base but remains suspicious of a trap.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That evening, Yuna goes to get Coordinated in the Puella Care trailer. She notifies Livia that after she redirected Felicia&#039;s magic back at her, its started to make her remember something she&#039;d used her magic to erase. Yuna now plans to use this to sow discord within the Union&#039;s ranks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At night, during the operation, the teams assemble and Kanagi leads the eastern team to the old trainyard, while Yachiyo leads the western team to the Electric Town route.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102701 withdrawal.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The operation fails and the Electric Town route is blocked by a magically reinforced excavation shield used for tunnels, trapping Yachiyo&#039;s team. Promised Blood&#039;s main force, including Ranka, also ambushes Kanagi&#039;s team at the trainyard. The eastern members who cannot fight are cornered, and Kanagi is severely injured while protecting them by Ao, who is briefly overtaken by her Kimochi. Yachiyo&#039;s team breaks through to rescue them, forcing a full retreat.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After the battle, at Mitama&#039;s office, the injured Kanagi warns the others that the Kimochi can overwhelm their users, as happened with Ao. Rena also feels sad due to Ranka&#039;s betrayal and the failed operation and heavy injuries deepen the existing distrust between the eastern and western factions. Yuna analyzes the battle, recognizing Union&#039;s attempt to operate outside the Kimochi&#039;s rules solely to defeat their local Mirrors Witch. Ao is left emotionally distraught after her Kimochi overtook her during the fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Second Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage and Sudachi hear news reports about the ongoing investigation into the mayoral election assault, which implicates Mitama and Kanagi. At the Crescent House&#039;s laboratory, Touka analyzes a black photograph from Ryo&#039;s phone, finding a clue. At Kanagi&#039;s home, Iroha treats her injuries and they discuss the burdens of leadership, with Kanagi advising Iroha to hold onto her idealism.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia meets Kako and Ayame in a park, and Ayame, concerned about Felicia&#039;s distress over her dream of killing her parents, suggests they visit Suitoku Temple to find ghosts. At the temple, which serves as the Tokime clan&#039;s base, they learn that clan members Sunao and Chika are recovering from their injuries. The &amp;quot;ghosts&amp;quot; of the people in the temple are a manifestation of Asahi&#039;s unique magic, used to monitor the Magical Girls&#039; proximity to death.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As she&#039;s going home from the temple, Felicia encounters Yuna by chance, who says she was on the way to Suitoku Temple. Felicia stops and asks her what she did to her in Kamihama Prison. Yuna reveals that, after she&#039;d seen Felicia use her magic, she realized Felicia&#039;s magic may have originated from her contract making her forget something. Yuna merely redirected the magic back at Felicia, making her start to remember what happened. Yuna then transforms and makes Felicia remember everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102702 karin comic.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu&#039;s investigation team continues to search the Endless Mirrors, but progress is stalled as Alina remains asleep and unable to map deeper floors. Karin creates a manga, &amp;quot;The Alina Gray Reform Project,&amp;quot; hoping to inspire Alina to change. Inspired by this, Mifuyu proposes a plan to destroy the Mirrors terminal, severing all shortcuts at once. She gains the Tokime clan&#039;s approval for this plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that day, Iroha and Kanagi discover that the route from Kamihama Prison to the subway is not blocked, as Ranka had claimed. Tsuruno also finds out about a ventilation shaft that leads to the subway and Yachiyo&#039;s team formulates a new three-pronged invasion plan using these routes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the game center, Rena, Kaede, and Momoko have a tense encounter with Ranka and Juri. Rena is emotionally devastated by Ranka&#039;s betrayal, and Felicia, who is also present, becomes enraged and destroys a punching machine, later breaking down in tears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, continuing the search in Yukuni, Nayuta finds a lead at a local folklore museum, where an assistant professor directs them to an inn called &amp;quot;The Cradle of the Earth.&amp;quot; Nayuta contacts the inn and learns her father has a reservation for the following day, all the while Lavi and Alexandra feel bad for hiding their involvement with Tasuke from her. However, that night they receive a call at their room notifying them that Tasuke has cancelled his stay for tomorrow. They receive a letter at their door from Tasuke, arranging him to meet with Nayuta after he speaks with his brother, Touka&#039;s father.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* That evening, the Union holds a final strategy meeting at Ryushinkan. They finalize the plan to attack the subway at 5:30 AM the next day, simultaneously with Mifuyu&#039;s operation to destroy the Mirrors terminal. Yachiyo states that any member, including Felicia, will be subject to a final evaluation before the operation begins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the subway, Yuna and Promised Blood continue to search for the offshoot Mirrors Witch, counting on the internal strife within Union to buy them time. At Puella Care, Livia expresses concern for Felicia, and at Crescent House, Felicia cries alone, believing she does not deserve to be with her friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102703 smartphone.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Felicia confronts Kako through a text message, having deduced that she knew the truth about her wish, and how Felicia was the one who killed her own parents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia runs away and Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Ui, and Sana pursue her. Kako and Ayame also join the search after learning of Felicia&#039;s distress.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102703 felicia house1.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102703 felicia house2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Felicia escapes their pursuit by unleashing her Doppel and returns to her burned-out family apartment in Minaminagi. She relives the traumatic memory of the accident: during an argument with her mother, she kicked her, causing a pot of oil to spill and start a fire. In a panic, Felicia threw water on the oil fire, which worsened the blaze. In that moment of despair, Kyubey appeared, and Felicia wished for the incident to have never happened. Her unique magic of oblivion was a direct result of this wish, causing her to forget her own role in the tragedy, as the wording of her wish was changed due to her emotional state.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Third Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team finds Felicia on the 15th floor. Her Kimochi bracelet reacts violently, and the Kimochi itself attempts to seize control of her body by amplifying her self-hatred. Iroha uses her own Kimochi bracelet to connect everyone&#039;s hearts to Felicia&#039;s.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Despite their pleas, Felicia remains consumed by guilt and is willing to let the Kimochi take her. Kako and Ayame then arrive with Asahi, who, using her unique magic, summons the spirits of Felicia&#039;s parents. They absolve Felicia of blame, explaining the accident was a result of family tensions and their own failures as parents. They tell her to live happily and bless others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102703 felicia house3.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102703 crescent members.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* By dawn, she is freed from her guilt by her parents&#039; forgiveness, and Felicia rejects the Kimochi, reclaiming control of her body and her future. She resolves to live on and make others happy. The immediate crisis ends, but Asahi reflects cynically on the value of a Magical Girl&#039;s life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the operation, 5:30 AM, the Union launches its three-pronged attack on the subway to destroy Promised Blood&#039;s offshoot Mirrors Witch. Iroha&#039;s team from Mikazuki is absent, having been delayed by Felicia&#039;s emotional crisis, but Momoko&#039;s and Kanagi&#039;s teams proceed with the mission.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi&#039;s team enters via Kamihama Prison but they&#039;re immediately ambushed. Kanagi stays behind to duel Ao, who&#039;s now lost her sense of fear entirely, while Momoko&#039;s team advances. Throughout this, Kagome herself goes to investigate the ventilation opening and finds Urara, who is waiting for the girls of Mikazuki. She questions Kagome about her interviews, but when Kagome mentions Tasuke, Urara attacks her, prompting Rii to emerge and protect her, which makes Kagome realize Urara knows the professor. Meanwhile, Mifuyu&#039;s team enters through the Endless Mirrors to destroy the parent terminal. Rena, her team and other Union members fight against Juri, Ranka and their team, while Alina negotiates with the voice inside her, saying that if they don&#039;t help, Alina will give up and live as a new person. The voice temporarily takes over her body and allows Alina to open a sudden shortcut, accelerating their descent.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the operation in the offshoot Mirrors, Momoko&#039;s team engages Juri and Ranka in battle. Miyako and Ikumi are incapacitated by Sakuya, while Kanagi, fighting Ao, is ambushed by Yuna, Hikaru and Urara. Ao reclaims the Kimochi from Kanagi, who is severely wounded and on the verge of being killed when Iroha&#039;s team finally arrives. Together, they hold off Promised Blood and rescue Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102704 ikumi attack.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu&#039;s team arrives in the offshoot Mirrors through a linked mirror in the Mirrors terminal area, but they aren&#039;t strong enough to fight the Witch directly with Promised Blood going against them. Juri also uses her Kimochi to send her opponents into its Labyrinth, picking them off one by one, though Alina&#039;s immune to its effects. Ikumi, in a final act of despair, makes a pact with her Kimochi Stone, apologizing that she won&#039;t be the one to take it to the Automatic Purification System. She uses its power to destroy the offshoot Mirrors Witch, but in doing so, her body is completely consumed, and she vanishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the Witch defeated and the shortcut severed, the battle ends, but Promised Blood now has gained Ikumi&#039;s Kimochi Stone as well. The four Kimochi Stones held by Promised Blood resonate with those held by the Union. Through this connection, Ui and the others perceive all the Kimochi&#039;s true intention: to gather all eight stones, return to their original form as the Witch Eve, and use the Magical Girls&#039; conflict to create openings to possess the main twelve of them to the girls&#039; destruction. Despite this revelation, Yuna remains confident that she can control the Kimochi and the Automatic Purification System, and Promised Blood retreats with their victory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, at Mitama&#039;s office, the injured Kanagi works to prevent the eastern Magical Girls from blaming the west for her injuries. Everyone present, especially Hinano mourns Ikumi and her sacrifice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime hear news from Mifuyu that Ikumi has died. Shizuka decides they should investigate the stone throwing incident, as she suspects the Neo-Magius had something to do with it. After talking with Chiharu and Sunao, they decide to pay Mitama a visit.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta, Lavi, and Alexandra go to her uncle&#039;s office and, after waiting for a very long time, Nayuta decides to investigate on her own. She finds the director&#039;s office and overhears a phone conversation where he mentions confining Tasuke to &amp;quot;cool his head&amp;quot; and discusses bringing his brother&#039;s Magical Girl research to the public from a &amp;quot;scientific point of view.&amp;quot; Lavi, seizing the opportunity to sever Nayuta&#039;s ties with her cousin Touka, manipulates Nayuta into believing her uncle plans to steal her father&#039;s work for fame. This successfully turns Nayuta against her uncle and, by extension, Touka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana experiences a creative block, unable to continue drawing her picture books. A haunting dream of her brothers, who dismiss fiction as an escape from reality, causes her to doubt the value and power of her art. She concludes that her work is meaningless and that she must take practical action in the real world to be of use.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac6&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 6: The Changing World From Behind the Shield|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 6: The Changing World From Behind the Shield]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Seeking a tangible purpose, Sana accompanies Kagome on her mission to document Magical Girls across Kamihama, acting as her bodyguard. During their travels, they observe several interactions: Felicia happily reconciling with Kako and Ayame after they helped her speak with her parents&#039; spirits; how Shizuku is not working at her cafe; the somber atmosphere at Ikumi&#039;s cafe as staff and patrons grieve her sudden death; and Kanagi preparing a memorial event for Ikumi, stating she wants to &amp;quot;mourn to remember, not to forget.&amp;quot; Finally, they assist a search party in the Mirrors Labyrinth looking for the missing Alina and Karin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During the search, Sana uses her unique magic of to distract a powerful Witch, allowing the other Magical Girls to defeat it. Despite this success, Sana feels her efforts are ultimately futile as the primary goal of finding Alina and Karin is not achieved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that night, feeling dejected, Sana calls Sunao. Their conversation about a childhood animated film, &amp;quot;The Epic Story of Mr. Purrs-a-lot!,&amp;quot; reveals to Sana that her courageous act in the Labyrinth was subconsciously inspired by that very film. This realization, combined with the earnest efforts she witnessed in everyone that day, helps her understand that stories are not an escape from reality but a source of inspiration for those living within it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Reinvigorated, Sana speaks with Nemu, who also confirms the power of creativity. Nemu suggests that Sana publish her illustrations as an e-book through Touka&#039;s social media efforts to help spread awareness of Magical Girls. Sana agrees, resolving to continue her art with renewed faith in its purpose.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;A Few Days Later:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha goes to Mitama&#039;s to help Kanagi heal completely before they head out. At Ikumi&#039;s cafe, a memorial is held by Kanagi for her final performance. The Union mourns their losses, having learned they are being manipulated by the very power they sought to control, yet the conflict with Promised Blood continues.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama, the mayoral election concludes, and as the ballots will be called the following day, the political atmosphere remains tense. At Mitama&#039;s shop, she, Mikage, and Kagome watch a news report alleging election law violations involving minors, which they recognize refers to Mitama&#039;s own assistance with the eastern candidate&#039;s campaign. Mitama reveals she participated hoping to improve the east&#039;s reputation and, by extension, her own view of Kamihama. The report causes her significant distress.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102705 kanagi mitama.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* That night in Kamihama, Mitama, Mikage, and Kagome, who are then joined by members of the Tokime clan, investigate the election. Using Chiharu&#039;s sense for malice and a listening device, they overhear a conversation between the newly elected mayor and Touka&#039;s father. They learn the stone-throwing incident was a plot by western factions to frame the east and maintain negative stereotypes. This revelation devastates Mitama, causing her to nearly relapse into the despair that originally led to her Magical Girl wish. After the others sense her darkened magic, she is calmed by Kanagi and Momoko, but the event deepens the political schism.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, after hearing Mitama&#039;s breakdown, has a personal revelation. She openly declares her resolve to &amp;quot;create a world where everyone can live&amp;quot; and save all Magical Girls, including those in Promised Blood, by ending the conflict without taking lives, focusing on their shared desire for salvation. Nearby, Lavi observes her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, in a separate meeting, Folklore of Zero, discuss these events. They have successfully isolated Nayuta and note Iroha&#039;s pacifist &amp;quot;Mohist&amp;quot; ideology. Lavi expresses doubt that Iroha&#039;s approach can succeed alone against the impending &amp;quot;Awakening,&amp;quot; a central tenet of their own beliefs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc6&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Part 6==&lt;br /&gt;
Part 6 encompasses [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 7: Twilight Remnant|Chapter 7]] and [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 8: Flowers Sprouting from the Remains of Dreams|Chapter 8]]. It appears that at least a few days have passed since the end of Part 5, as Shizuku has gone back to work, and Sana has finished her e-book.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;First Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* At night, Livia talks to Kyubey and updates him on the Kimochi&#039;s intentions. She asks him about his experiment, but he says he still needs more time to see the results. She reassures him that she will keep his request of keeping Kagome safe. Livia returns to Kamihama and meets with Yozuru and Sudachi, who have bought ingredients for food. She tells them about how they should keep Kagome safe, as their future depends on them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 7: Twilight Remnant|Arc 2, Chapter 7: Twilight Remnant]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Second Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* While working throughout the day, Shizuku tears up after the deaths of both Ryo and Ikumi. Meanwhile, Yuna, Juri, Hikaru, and Ao hold a council. With the Mirrors shortcut gone, Futatsugi is trapped, with no Witches to hunt, no funds to commute, and their connection to Kamihama severed. Yuna admits her miscalculation led to this and vows to fight on, abandoning the peaceful ideals of her respected senior. Juri recalls that Alina Gray was able to fight without being chosen by a Kimochi because she lacked interest in the Stones themselves. The group deduces that the Kimochi&#039;s Labyrinth rule only activates if a Magical Girl&#039;s objective is to acquire a Kimochi Stone or the Automatic Purification System. If they attack with pure killing intent, the rule does not apply.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna proposes making Futatsugi City the final battlefield. This eliminates their financial and logistical problems and allows them to deploy Magical Girls from the city who are unaware of the Kimochi Stones and thus immune to the Labyrinth rule. Ao reveals she has already informed allies from the Janomiya group, who are now on standby in Futatsugi. Yuna confirms these girls will serve as their vanguard to break the Union. Juri separates from the group to settle her own promises, tracking down and briefly fighting Shigure and Hagumu. After defeating them, Juri takes them to a family restaurant, explaining she is fulfilling her promises for good luck in the coming battle, which she reveals will be Promised Blood&#039;s last stand. She warns them that, despite Neo-Magius&#039; fall, they should be careful around their new friends as the nicer someone is, the more dangerous they can be.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Union and their allies gather at Crescent House for safety. Yachiyo explains that Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa are not present since they&#039;re still searching Mirrors for the missing Karin and Alina. The group discusses the grim reality that they, like Promised Blood, cannot hide indefinitely due to school and family obligations. Separately, Touka and Nemu struggle with their project to reveal the truth of Magical Girls to the world, finding their online efforts inexplicably ineffective, however Sana successfully publishes an e-book of her picture book and sends it to Sunao.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, inside the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena attempts to use her Synthesis magic on objects but fails repeatedly, reducing her ingredients to charcoal. San arrives with Miyuri and decides to personally oversee Himena&#039;s training, theorizing that Himena can synthesize magic between people but lacks a concrete mental image for objects. She assigns combat training against Witches to help Himena develop visualization skills, and after defeating several Witches, Himena demonstrates improved control by visualizing her magic as transferring light from one person to another. San reveals that Phase 2 will involve synthesizing magic into objects using collected Grief Seeds, and Alexandra is expected to arrive tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac7&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 7: Underwater Plot|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 7: Underwater Plot]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After Sunao receives a message from Sana checking in on her, she discuses with Chiharu about how she believes that Promised Blood must be defeated in order to achieve peace.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Lavi, Alexandra, Asahi, and Urara discuss the consequences of the upcoming Futatsugi battle. Lavi confirms that the conflict advanced her clock&#039;s hands toward the &amp;quot;Awakening,&amp;quot; and that the Neo-Magius faction, now empowered, will accelerate this process. She identifies key individuals whose deaths would signify the point of no return, those being Touka, Nemu, Nayuta and Kagome. Lavi instructs Alexandra to withdraw from the Neo-Magius when they begin their major operations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Third Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Within the Tokime Clan, Shizuka reflects deeply on her purpose. She is haunted by the words of San, who argued that controlling people from above is sometimes necessary to strip away the &amp;quot;evil at the root&amp;quot; of society. She begins to question whether simply protecting people is enough, or if a more fundamental change to the world is required, a task only the Tokime Diviners could undertake.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakuya confronts Iroha and Tsuruno at school, delivering an ultimatum from Promised Blood that the final battle will be in Futatsugi City. She threatens that if the Union does not come, they will destroy their four Kimochi Stones the following night. Iroha knows this is a bluff, as the Kimochi would resist or abandon them, but acknowledges the risk of the Stones being destroyed or reverted outside of Kamihama&#039;s protection is too great.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Alexandra arrives to the Takarazaki Community Center, and Himena spends hours attempting to synthesize her demotivation magic into a broom, then switches to Miyuri&#039;s magic, all without success. Shigure and Hagumu report feeling increasingly uncomfortable from repeated exposure to mixed magical energies. San suggests a change of scenery and asks Himena to help prepare for a community festival the next day. Himena agrees and heads home, while San asks Shigure and Hagumu to elaborate on their uncomfortable feeling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Union and Tokime Clan hold a strategy meeting at Suitoku Temple, where they acknowledge the immense disadvantage of fighting on Promised Blood&#039;s home turf but conclude they have no choice. Shizuku, motivated by a desire to stop the cycle of hope being destroyed and to atone for her inability to save Ryo and Ikumi, contacts Iroha through the phone and begs to be of use. She does not seek revenge, but wants to help end the conflict.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* A plan is formed at Ryushin dojo around Shizuku&#039;s unique magic of teleportation. This provides the &amp;quot;one-shot reversal&amp;quot; Yachiyo had sought. The final roster for the Futatsugi operation is set: the members of Mikazuki and Momoko&#039;s team, plus the Tokime Clan. Kanagi and Hinano will remain in Kamihama to protect the city and the vulnerable former Magius members. Meanwhile, Livia, Yozuru, and Sudachi formally inform Kagome that they will be protecting her personally when she goes to observe the final battle, fearing she could be caught in the crossfire.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi coordinates defense efforts in Kamihama. She ensures the evacuation of vulnerable Magical Girls, focusing on Touka and Nemu. Kanagi stations herself at Crescent House to protect them, while Mitama remains at her shop.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka and Nemu, accompanied by Sakurako and later Kanagi, conduct research at the Chuo Ward library. They investigate historical records and city statistics, uncovering a pattern: incidents involving Magical Girls consistently fail to become public knowledge, a phenomenon they term a &amp;quot;Fantasy.&amp;quot; They also research the legend of Tsuyu Mizuna and Chizuru, historical &amp;quot;Battle-Shamanesses&amp;quot; who were likely Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Touka visits her father in the Medical Center. He reveals he now believes in Magical Girls and, alongside her missing uncle Tasuke, plans to protect them from public exploitation when their existence is inevitably revealed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama, Nanaka learns from Akira and Meiyui that the Union and Promised Blood&#039;s final battle will occur in Futatsugi, with only Kimochi-chosen girls permitted to participate. Meiyui offers to arrange shelter in Takarazaki through her connections, and Nanaka, Akira, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and agree to help prepare for a local children&#039;s festival in exchange for lodging.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Himena cleans a warehouse alone, frustrated by manual labor. She senses approaching Magical Girls and recognizes them from descriptions as Kamihama girls. Fearing exposure, she hides but accidentally knocks something over, and Nanaka&#039;s group discovers her. Outnumbered four to one, Himena panics. Nanaka attempts peaceful resolution, clarifying they are not Union members, but Himena refuses to believe her. Nanaka&#039;s group decides to retreat and have Meiyui alter Himena&#039;s memory of their meeting. Kako and Akira create an opening, and Meiyui touches Himena, successfully altering her memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San appears to check on Himena and reveals Meiyui&#039;s magic has a loophole. When asked, Himena&#039;s memory fully returns, and the two sides prepare to fight. The battle drags on with neither side gaining advantage. Himena, exhausted, formulates a risky plan and charges Meiyui, touching her with her broom and using synthesis to transfer Meiyui&#039;s own magic back at her, commanding her to forget the meeting. The spell takes hold, and Nanaka&#039;s group, now confused, believes they were simply retrieving supplies. They sense something wrong and decide to leave Takarazaki immediately.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Himena and San return to the community center, injured but victorious. Himena demonstrates her perfected magic on Shigure with the broom, and San theorizes Himena subconsciously infused her own magic into the broom through prolonged use. Himena confirms the theory by successfully synthesizing Sasha&#039;s magic into a dustpan. She celebrates, acknowledging everyone&#039;s help, and reflects that they are now ready for the next stage of their operation. Meanwhile, Nanaka senses a familiar magical presence and recognizes it as an enemy, but decides not to act, sensing the situation remains too unclear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shigure and Hagumu visit Mitsune, who has suffered a paralysis of her lower body after overusing her Doppel, similar to Nemu&#039;s condition. At the hospital, they see Touka, Nemu and Kanagi, who are aware of Mitsune and her condition. Back at the Neo-Magius base, the other members all insist they&#039;d only made Mitsune use her Doppel once. Later that night, while she is alone, Mitsune regrets manipulating the election results, as she thinks of the demonstrations in Kamihama for a re-election.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Simultaneously, the Amane sisters face a separate crisis, as Tsukuyo calls Mifuyu and lets her know neither of them will be able to attend meetings. Their families, on opposing sides of Kamihama&#039;s East-West political feud, discover the twins have been secretly meeting. Both are essentially placed under house arrest, severing their contact.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102803 shizuku puzzle.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Hinano, after a period of withdrawal, resolves to contribute to the Union&#039;s plan. She and Mifuyu guard Shizuku, whose portal magic is critical to the Union&#039;s operation in Futatsugi. Members of Promised Blood attack Shizuku&#039;s Kamihama residence, but Mifuyu and Hinano repel them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102801 yuna pray1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102801 yuna pray2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* That night of the deployment Yachiyo confirms the plan: Team Mikazuki, Momoko&#039;s team, and the Tokime Clan will travel to Futatsugi City via Shizuku&#039;s magic. Shizuku awaits their signal and in Futatsugi, Yuna solemnly recites the names of her fallen comrades, vowing to reclaim the blood they shed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Union and Tokime Clan move to confront Promised Blood in Futatsugi, while Kagome travels to the city under the protection of Yozuru, Sudachi, and Livia to document the event. She observes that Yuna chose this battlefield not only for its strategic value but to settle her grudge in the presence of her fallen comrades.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Before the battle, the members of Promised Blood reflect on their motivations, and Yuna vows to avenge the dead Magical Girls of Futatsugi and acquire all Kimochi Stones. Her subordinates, including Sakuya, Ranka, Hikaru, Ao, and Juri, each grapple with their own reasons for fighting, from a desire for vengeance to a twisted longing for peace through dominance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The battle begins with a coordinated signal from Promised Blood. The Union and Tokime Clan&#039;s initial plan to capture Yuna fails when she reveals a backup force. Yuna exploits a loophole in the Kimochi&#039;s rules, deploying Magical Girls from Futatsugi who have no intent to acquire a Stone, allowing them to fight without being sent to a Labyrinth. This tactic gives Promised Blood a significant numerical advantage.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna&#039;s strategy involves dividing the enemy forces using Futatsugi&#039;s terrain, hunting them down individually, and then herding them toward a central location for a final annihilation. The Union and Tokime Clan members find themselves isolated and pursued across the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka and Yuna clash over their opposing philosophies of leadership and sacrifice. Sakuya and Ryoko, formerly friends, fight with the understanding that one must kill the other. Juri battles Tsuruno, expressing that conflict is her fundamental nature. Ranka confronts Rena, her conflicted feelings about their past friendship causing her to ultimately let Rena escape. Ao, heavily influenced by her Kimochi, fights Yachiyo with a new, violent philosophy of achieving peace through preemptive domination. Iroha encounters Hikaru and reaffirms her resolve to end the conflict and save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Despite their efforts, the scattered members of the Union and Tokime Clan are systematically maneuvered into a single location. Yuna and the full force of Promised Blood surround them, declaring the battle won and preparing for the final assault.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* As the battle in Futatsugi intensifies, Shizuku prepares to execute her role, ready to teleport the besieged Union and Tokime Clan forces on their signal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102802 pb triumph.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* During the final battle in Futatsugi, Yuna orders Promised Blood to execute the wounded Union and Tokime Clan members by destroying the unfinished building they&#039;d been cornered into. As Promised Blood deliver the final blows, Shizuku teleports the besieged forces to safety nearby, and then returns to Kamihama. Yuna realizes her plans to assassinate Shizuku in Kamihama, as well as the Union and Tokime forces in Futatsugi both failed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Union and Tokime Clan counterattack, and gain the upper hand on the battle. Yuna, with her forces cornered and desperate, absorbs the Kimochi Stones from Juri, Hikaru, and Ao, despite knowing the risk of being controlled. Yuna&#039;s transformation inspires Promised Blood to fight back again, including Ranka, who goes up against Momoko&#039;s team, as well as Sakuya, who goes against Ryoko. Asahi and Urara attempt to stop the latter, however the clash ultimately ends up killing Sakuya.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The members of the Union try to fight against and defend themselves against Yuna, however when she hears of Sakuya&#039;s death, the power of four Stones overwhelms her, and the Kimochi begin to erode her mind and body, making her go berserk as the Kimochi no longer agree with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome, witnessing the battle, defies her protectors and rushes to the front lines to protect one of the lesser members of Promised Blood, where Yuna&#039;s uncontrolled attack gravely injures her. Iroha resolves to save Yuna alone and follows her into the catacombs beneath Futatsugi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fifth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside the catacombs, Iroha connects with Yuna&#039;s consciousness through her own Kimochi Stone. She sees her mind being consumed by the Kimochi and she witnesses Yuna&#039;s and Futatsugi&#039;s past: the constant warfare in Futatsugi, the death of her mentor, her hatred for Kamihama&#039;s Magius, and her deep-seated guilt and grief. Yuna, in turn, sees Iroha&#039;s memories of her forgotten sister Ui and her unwavering resolve to save everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102804 yuna iroha3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha communicates directly with the Kimochi inside Yuna, assuring them she means no harm and will take them to the Automatic Purification System. The Kimochi release their hold on Yuna, and through this shared experience, Yuna finally understands Iroha&#039;s genuine nature. She chooses to trust Iroha personally, though she maintains her resentment toward Kamihama as a whole.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Immediately after the battle as others arrive into the catacombs, Yuna officially disbands Promised Blood and ends the vendetta against Kamihama. She explains to her followers that uniting all eight Kimochi Stones may be the key to their liberation and agrees to a temporary alliance with the Union and Tokime Clan. Yuna gives the Kimochi Stone of Opal to Juri, Pearl to Ao, and Aquamarine to Hikaru.&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside at dawn, Yuna and Iroha talk about Sakuya, and Yuna gives Iroha her Kimochi Stone of Garnet, trusting her to give it to Kanagi as atonement. Yuna departs from Iroha&#039;s group and goes back inside the catacombs with Promised Blood. She asks the others to leave her alone with Sakuya&#039;s body for a while and apologizes to her, promising to help Ao and everyone in Futatsugi as she would have wanted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama, Nayuta wakes troubled by the realization that her uncle has taken her father prisoner, likely to steal his research on Magical Girls. Lavi advises her to verify the truth rather than speculate, and Nayuta decides to confront her uncle directly rather than approach Touka first. Lavi privately resolves to free the professor herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, Kagome awakens in the hospital, having survived her critical injuries with her mother in the room. She learns the conflict between the factions has ended, but new developments are dividing the Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta goes to confront her uncle in his office. He denies everything, claiming her father is simply hospitalized for tests due to exhaustion. Nayuta is escorted out, unconvinced.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, the Union and Tokime Clan members part ways with Promised Blood and return to Kamihama. Mitama uses her Coordination to heal the severely wounded, including Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Ryoko, and Asahi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the aftermath, Shizuku explains that her portal magic has weakened after she found her personal resolution last night, no longer needing to search for a place to belong. She can now only utilize it within Kamihama Ciy. Meanwhile at Suitoku Temple, the Tokime Clan also discover that Asahi&#039;s body is covered in older, severe scars, prompting an investigation into her origins.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, at the hospital in Futatsugi, Yuna waits for Urara to awake. Urara, revealed to have been an undercover investigator, is given permission to stay in Futatsugi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Coordinator&#039;s caravan base, Lavi and Puella Care discuss the aftermath of the Promised Blood conflict. One person died, Urara and Kagome were seriously injured, and Yuna surrendered after facing Iroha. Alexandra notes that with Iroha working to prevent conflict, Himena will now push the world toward the Awakening.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sixth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Nayuta meets with Mikage, who offers to question Touka directly while Nayuta listens through telepathy. Meanwhile, Lavi uses magic planted on a pen during previous hospital visits to locate the professor. When Mikage calls, Touka is shocked to learn about her uncle&#039;s confinement and immediately confronts her father. He admits he lied, claiming Tasuke has given up on his theory. Touka tells Nayuta only that the two men are now working together. Nayuta remains suspicious, and Lavi confirms the professor was in Touka&#039;s old hospital room and has already freed him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After parting ways with Nayuta, Mikage goes to the Tomorrow Shop candy store in Sankyo Ward with Sudachi. They feel useless after failing to protect Kagome and wish they could become dependable adults. At the shop, a group of children from the West harass Mikage for being from the eastern Daito Ward. They cite news reports and parental warnings that label the East as dangerous and connected to criminals. The confrontation escalates when one child throws a rock, striking Mikage in the head. The elderly woman chases the children off and tends to Mikage&#039;s injury.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 8: Flowers Sprouting from the Remains of Dreams|Arc 2, Chapter 8: Flowers Sprouting from the Remains of Dreams]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama and Kanagi arrive and witness this incident. Mitama, already filled with resentment towards the city for the ostracization she faced, confronts the children. She declares her hatred for the entire city and states she will no longer tolerate discrimination that impacts daily life. Kanagi reflects that the younger generation&#039;s perpetuation of these attitudes spells despair for Kamihama&#039;s future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102805 tasuke find.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Nayuta receives a message from her father asking to meet in front of a coffee shop. She rushes to reunite with him, but then Touka arrives and demands her uncle return for an important meeting. Tasuke decides to go voluntarily, revealing he found documents proving his brother actually believes him. Nayuta pleads with him not to leave, but Touka blocks her path, reminding Nayuta she cannot transform. Unable to hurt her cousin, Nayuta lets her father go.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Before leaving, she mentions strange things happening in other towns, such as students in Yukuni know about Magical Girls and believe dangerous rumors. After Nayuta departs, Touka wonders aloud if her uncle is connected to something called &amp;quot;The Destruction.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Himena&#039;s team goes to Mitsune&#039;s hospital room and Himena celebrates that their efforts to reveal the truth about Magical Girls are progressing well. San divides everyone into units to make contact with various groups. While Lil&#039; Kyubey is talking to Kyubey, Himena interrupts them and chases after Lil&#039; Kyubey, but he escapes. Kyubey notes that Kamihama continues to change and Himena invites Kyubey to come see for themselves. That night, San approaches Shizuka, Shigure and Hagumu approach Ao, and Miyuri approaches Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the meeting, Tasuke addresses the mayor and officials. Contrary to expectations, he declares that Magical Girls are nothing more than a delusion and that he was led astray by urban legends. Touka&#039;s father is horrified, asking what this means for Nayuta and Touka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc7&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Battle Museum===&lt;br /&gt;
The placement of this event is done based on the release order of the first part of the event, which concerns Yozuru Sasame. As most of the other parts can&#039;t logically take place during their release order, all of them are grouped within this section.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Yozuru Episode:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* A rumor spreads among the Magical Girls of Kamihama City about Nemu&#039;s book. The Uwasa are said to still exist inside the book, though they lack the magic to affect the outside world. A new rumor claims that if you visit the Memory Museum inside the book, you can get back to your roots as a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Battle Museum Yozuru Sasame Episode|Battle Museum - Yozuru]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Crescent House, Yachiyo confirms she has heard the rumor. Ui reveals the Memory Museum is real and the Uwasa truly do still exist inside Nemu&#039;s book.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the Puella Care trailer, Livia confirms that by syncing their Soul Gem with Hiiragi Nemu, a Magical Girl can enter the Memory Museum. She warns there is risk involved, as forgotten memories are not necessarily happy ones. She agrees to help those who wish to enter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yozuru enters the Memory Museum to see for herself if it can help Magical Girls become stronger by returning to their roots. What she sees is painful: her former self, snarling and full of anger, shortly after her mother died.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the memory, a Magical Girl confronts Yozuru about her selfishness, accusing her of never giving thanks and always causing problems. Yozuru acknowledges she is weak but refuses to be chained down, recalling her mother&#039;s words that being deprived of freedom is the greatest misfortune. She dissolves the team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia appears, having heard about a weak Magical Girl with a terrible personality. She offers to recruit Yozuru as an apprentice. Yozuru refuses and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Yozuru stumbles into a Witch&#039;s barrier while her legs are still paralyzed from Livia&#039;s adjustment. Unable to fight, she reflects on her weakness and realizes Livia saw through her completely. As she is about to die, Livia arrives with other Magical Girls to save her, demonstrating that friendship is a Coordinator&#039;s power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Afterward, Yozuru admits her problem was not that she could not fight, but that she did not know what it meant to live strongly. Livia explains that if you cannot fight, you must figure out the best way to survive. Yozuru realizes Livia&#039;s words echo what her mother tried to teach her, but this time she is ready to accept them. She agrees to become Livia&#039;s apprentice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sudachi Episode:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia tells Sudachi that if she recalls her original resolution at the Memory Museum, she can grow as both a Magical Girl and an adjuster. Inside the book, Sudachi remembers herself right after the incident where a gunman broke into her classroom. Her classmates offered her as a sacrifice, but her wish caused everyone else to die. Afterward, she became afraid to choose anything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Battle Museum Sudachi Sawa Episode|Battle Museum - Sudachi]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the memory, Sudachi is fighting Witches because she was told it is a Magical Girl&#039;s mission. She is too weak to win and secretly hopes to die to atone. A pink Magical Girl recognizes her from the news and asks what she wished for. Sudachi runs away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Sudachi is on the verge of being killed by a Witch when Livia and her allies save her. Livia brings her to the trailer and explains she is a traveling adjuster. She recognizes Sudachi from the news and reveals that adjusters can sense when a Magical Girl wished for a curse. Livia herself made such a wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia confronts Sudachi about avoiding choices, explaining that not choosing is itself a choice. She argues that dying to atone helps no one, but living to save other Magical Girls might balance the scales. She offers Sudachi a little whiteboard to communicate and asks if she wants to become an adjuster. Sudachi agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia visits Sudachi&#039;s mother and arranges for Sudachi to live in the trailer for training. There, Sudachi meets Yozuru, Livia&#039;s other apprentice. To Livia&#039;s surprise, Yozuru can understand Sudachi through telepathy while Livia cannot. Sudachi decides to live and atone by saving others, making this her true start.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kanagi Episode:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi gathers Magical Girls from the East at Mitama&#039;s shop and announces she is stepping down as the Union&#039;s Eastern leader. The girls are shocked and demand an explanation. Kanagi explains that she sided with the Neo-Magius and tried to destroy Kamihama, and while they forgave her, she was never voted into leadership. She wants to pass the mantle to the next generation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Battle Museum Kanagi Izumi Episode|Battle Museum - Kanagi]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama asks how Kanagi became leader in the first place. Kanagi agrees to share what she saw at the Memory Museum.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the memory, a newly contracted Kanagi discovers the West hates the East for no reason. She finds comfort in protecting her side of town. However, she also discovers that Eastern Magical Girls fight each other over territory instead of uniting. She tries to convince them to cooperate but is repeatedly rejected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The turning point comes when Eastern Magical Girls severely wound a Western girl. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive to negotiate. When no one steps forward to represent the East, Kanagi declares she will become their leader. Despite her inexperience, she negotiates with Yachiyo and agrees to discuss terms later.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As leader, Kanagi faces harassment from veteran girls who provoke the West. She abandons diplomacy and uses force to dominate, leaving no room for the West to take advantage. She becomes recognized as the leader, but the Eastern girls feel she is overprotective and meddling. Kanagi accepts this, believing she can still keep them safe even if they do not understand her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back in the present, the girls are moved by her story but unanimously point at her when asked who should succeed her. They argue she is not scary, just awkward, and that she is doing her best to change. Kanagi agrees to keep her position for now, noting that someday the next generation will have to take over.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Ren Episode:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Memory Museum, Ren sees a nostalgic sight: her first attempt to end her life. As she fell from a height, she felt fear and made her wish: &amp;quot;I don&#039;t want to die.&amp;quot; After becoming a Magical Girl, she learned that Witches cause people to hurt each other. She resolved to defeat all Witches and create a kind world. But she soon realized eliminating Witches would not remove malice from people&#039;s hearts, and she despaired, attempting suicide a second time. Rika saved her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt4&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Battle Museum Ren Isuzu Episode|Battle Museum - Ren]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Ren&#039;s class is assigned a career survey. She realizes she has never had a dream to follow. She recalls her ideal of defeating all Witches but knows it never came to pass. She still wants to live, thanks to Rika, but is unsure of her future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Ren visits Emiri&#039;s Counseling Room and laughs with her friends. She reflects that she now has cherished friends and a place she belongs, all reasons to live. But she still wonders why she wanted to live back when she had nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At home, Ren sees a news report about rising suicide rates among students. She realizes that if she had succeeded, she would be just another statistic. She wonders if that thought is arrogant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, unable to sleep, Ren calls Rika just to hear her voice. Rika keeps her company until she falls asleep. In a dream, Ren sees a world where she died and nothing changed, but she also sees kindness she had not noticed before.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* She wakes understanding that Rika taught her kindness, which allowed her to see kindness from others. When she wished not to die, she was hoping the world was not as cold as she knew it. She just wanted a simple, gentle ordinary life. Now she wants to share that kindness with others who are in despair. She tells Rika her future path: to help people who feel pain over being alive. Rika supports her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt4&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Nanaka Episode:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Memory Museum, Nanaka recalls her encounter with Kyubey and how becoming a Magical Girl altered her destiny. The Kashin-style school of flower arrangement, preserved by her family for generations, was usurped by senior disciples after her father fell ill. Her bedridden father drilled into her: &amp;quot;Take back the school.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt5&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Battle Museum Nanaka Tokiwa Episode|Battle Museum - Nanaka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the memory, Nanaka summons Sasao, the most diligent of her father&#039;s disciples, who nevertheless joined the betrayal. Nanaka reveals she now possesses power from her contract and has confirmed her physical abilities surpass human limits. She asks Sasao why she betrayed the family.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sasao explains that Tanito, the most senior disciple, led the betrayal. Many opposed him at first, but one by one they switched sides until Sasao was isolated. Tanito made threats, and Sasao eventually gave in out of fear. Nanaka thanks her and resolves to confront Tanito.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka confronts Tanito but finds him unresponsive, barely capable of conversation. She suspects he is under a Witch&#039;s Kiss and that the true enemy is the Witch behind him. However, this assumption proves flawed. It took time and many allies to uncover that the real culprit was hiding behind the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka also realizes Kyubey is her enemy. That moment marked the true beginning of her revenge.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the present, Nanaka gathers Akira, Kako, and Meiyui in a hotel room. She asks for their help with an acquaintance in trouble. Meiyui suspects it involves Nanaka&#039;s lucrative but shady side business. Nanaka insists it is a respectable act of helping someone in need and asks them to act with compassion. They agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;batt5&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Wants to Be Honest===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day at a campground in Kamihama City, San announces a two-day, one-night military-style boot camp to strengthen Neo-Magius unity, immediately opening fire on the leaders for their lax attitudes. Despite Himena&#039;s protests, San runs them through intense mock battles and formation drills. During a break, San answers her phone in a noticeably cutesy voice, speaking to her youth group—Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu overhear and are delighted by the gap between Instructor San and Youth Group San, much to San&#039;s mortification. Training resumes with increased intensity through the day. That night, Alexandra and Mitsune find San alone and ask for self-training recommendations. Impressed by her kindness, they thank her, and San decides to apologize tomorrow for her earlier embarrassment-driven harshness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kagurasan&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - San Kagura Wants to Be Honest|San Kagura Wants to Be Honest]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, San tries to apologize but cannot get the words out due to embarrassment. Himena teases her about her phone voice, so San abandons the apology and orders a mock battle where she easily defeats all three at once. Later, alone at a restaurant, San struggles with her feelings until Mitsune and Alexandra find her and reassure her it is okay to be cool, strict, kind, and childish all at once. Suddenly, Himena sends a group message challenging San to compete, with Shigure and Hagumu seemingly quitting. San fires up and leaves to teach them one more lesson.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kagurasan&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, everyone gathers at Miyuri&#039;s campground. Himena sets the rules for a mock battle: if San wins, she can ask one thing. The group coordinates attacks and uses underhanded tactics, showing their growth. After San breaks their glass balls, Himena reveals their real goal: they knew San had something to say since yesterday, so they started this fight so she could say it afterward. San finally apologizes for taking out her embarrassment on them. Himena apologizes too and admits she likes San being a cute little sister type. San offers to treat everyone at the convenience store as a reward. As they eat, everyone thanks her, and San promises to treat them again after the next boot camp. Himena then asks when the next youth group meeting is, wanting to see the kids San acts cute around—San blushes as everyone gets curious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kagurasan&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Miyuri on Practice!===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Miyuri nervously calls Rui for advice about an upcoming doujin convention, admitting she gets anxious on the phone. Rui happily agrees to accompany her, excited that someone younger is relying on her. When Miyuri mentions her favorite cosplayer Biinasu will be there and launches into detailed appreciation of her legs, Rui gently advises her to be mindful in public.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;practice&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Miyuri Yukari on Practice!|Miyuri Yukari on Practice!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
**Later at the Neo-Magius storeroom, Himena notices Miyuri&#039;s convention checklist. When Miyuri enthusiastically explains she buys works featuring legs, Himena teases her about her about it. Miyuri proudly admits it and begins commenting on everyone&#039;s legs, recommending Shigure wear a garter belt and high socks. Shigure, frozen in fear, calls her gross. Miyuri notices San has arrived, realizes she went too far, and runs out crying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;practice&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
**Miyuri calls Rui in despair, saying her life is over because everyone discovered her preference. Rui awkwardly suggests training to get stronger. Miyuri latches onto this idea and embarks on increasingly desperate training methods: attending an idol concert to view legs, avoiding looking at legs entirely, attempting waterfall training, and climbing a mountain alone where she gets lost. Throughout, she has flashbacks to her childhood, watching a girl skate and feeling fascinated by her legs in motion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;practice&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
**As evening falls, Hagumu and Shigure find her. When Shigure briefly leaves, Miyuri assumes she is being avoided and runs away again, deciding she must stop liking legs, toss her books, and apologize. Rui receives a call where Miyuri says she is giving up everything and this may be the last time they speak. Rui fears she might be planning something worse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;practice&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Miyuri visits Mitsune in the hospital to apologize for not investigating the convention as requested, then stands outside ready to toss her books. Rui uses her eye to check Miyuri&#039;s fate and, sensing something wrong, finds her at Satomi Medical Center. She explains that throwing away what you love leads to regret and offers to help Miyuri learn self-control instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;practice&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
**They go to a shopping district to identify what triggers Miyuri. There they encounter Nemu and Sakurako. Miyuri telepathically asks Nemu not to reveal anything about magical girls. When Nemu notices Miyuri looks pale and asks what is wrong, Miyuri explains her struggle. Through conversation, Miyuri rediscovers her childhood memory: watching a girl skate, fascinated by her legs in motion. This was the origin of her obsession, born from her own identity as an athlete who valued legs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;practice&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
**Nemu explains that childhood passions shape who we are. Rui shares her own experience of regretting throwing away her work and believes Miyuri&#039;s friends will accept her. Miyuri realizes her leg preference stems from her identity as an athlete and decides she can be proud of it while keeping it appropriate. She thanks everyone and returns to Neo-Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;practice&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
**Miyuri apologizes for ignoring everyone. Shigure apologizes for calling her gross and reveals she transferred Miyuri&#039;s checklist onto a detailed spreadsheet and bought the garter belt and high socks Miyuri wanted to see her wear. Miyuri explains she discovered her preference started with inline skating and will restrain herself but not stop loving what she loves. Himena says they all love Miyuri as she is and welcomes her back. When Miyuri immediately dives for San&#039;s legs, San tells her to restrain herself and suggests Shigure put on the outfit first. Miyuri eagerly agrees as Shigure panics. Himena notes Miyuri has not really changed, and Miyuri declares next she will have Himena wear fishnet tights, giggling like a madwoman.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;practice&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chapter 8===&lt;br /&gt;
The story of Chapter 8 is given to Kagome through second-hand sources, and it&#039;s relayed in a non-linear narrative. Because of this, parts of the story have been reorganized and consolidated in such a way that the flow of the information would be easiest to understand. As each branch&#039;s length is different, it is impossible to discern whether any of them happen in different days when they&#039;re on separate branches. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Prologue:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* During Kagome&#039;s hospitalization, Urara visits and announces her departure from Promised Blood, stating her true allegiance was to the group Folklore of Zero. She explains that her actions to protect others would not alter the future her group foresaw, which was dependent on whether the existence of Magical Girls became public knowledge. Livia arrives and offers for Puella Care to assist Kagome with her chronicling duties as an apology for her injury, which Kagome gratefully accepts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Urara wakes in a Futatsugi hospital, reflecting on her failure to protect Sakuya and the revelation that Yuna knew she was a spy all along. After being visited by Lavi, who urges her to draw her own line with Promised Blood before leaving, Urara is discharged and attempts to depart quietly but is pulled into faction disputes. Yuna privately releases her from any further obligation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tourara&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story A Secret Farewell Party to Urara|A Secret Farewell Party to Urara]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, at Crescent House, Lil&#039; Kyubey attempts to communicate a warning to Iroha and the others. Through a series of questions, Yachiyo deduces the warning was related to the Automatic Purification System, but the specific details of the threat remain unclear.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Neo-Magius &amp;amp; Folklore of Zero Branches:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Lavi and Alexandra discuss the current situation, as Alexandra could not telepathically communicate with Asahi as she was still unconscious. The Kamihama Magia Union has acquired all eight Kimochi Stones, and the Automatic Purification System is poised for activation. Alexandra resolves to confront Himena to convince her to stop fighting, believing hope from the Tokime Clan could change her mind. Livia arrives, acting as a substitute chronicler for the injured Kagome.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia recounts an argument between Tasuke and his brother, Touka&#039;s father. Tasuke&#039;s brother has invested in a political career to find a way to save Magical Girls, but Tasuke now insists that publicly revealing Magical Girls is a fatal mistake that will only lead to their destruction. He claims the only option is to prolong their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tasuke later meets with Touka and Nemu. They reveal they know his hypothesis but refuse to accept resignation. Driven by their genius and curiosity, they intend to overcome the &amp;quot;insurmountable wall&amp;quot; of destruction, and Tasuke vows to stop them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta waits anxiously for her father, and Lavi and Livia are present when Tasuke arrives. He explains his long absence: his research led him to a horrifying hypothesis that if the existence of Magical Girls becomes public knowledge, it will cause widespread despair and lead to their ruin. He hid this truth to protect Nayuta from giving up hope. He reveals the current conflict in Kamihama is an unintended experiment to test this hypothesis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Lavi confirms she has been working with Tasuke all along to monitor the situation and ensure Nayuta&#039;s safety. Nayuta is devastated, feeling her entire friendship with Lavi was a lie. The emotional shock causes her to faint and release her Doppel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Nayuta recovers, Tasuke and Lavi leave her a choice. They invite her to join Folklore of Zero in Yukuni to observe the hypothesis&#039; verification from the sidelines, or to stay home and watch the outcome without interference. They apologize for their deception but affirm their genuine care for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta decides to go with them, however as they prepare to leave, they receive a message from Touka. She announces that she and Nemu have finalized a plan to reveal Magical Girls to the world using the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura and invite everyone to watch. Tasuke realizes he must postpone their departure to witness this final, critical event.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Himena and San, Miyuri, Hagumu, and Shigure bond over their shared emotional wounds and their desire to change. They believe their collective effort to spread Magical Girl Supremacy is their greatest strength. The group&#039;s covert operations progress favorably. They successfully manipulate the Tokime Clan&#039;s Head Family and recruit Ao Kasane from Promised Blood. Alexandra reveals she has located the operational radio telescope in Hokuyo Ward, which they plan to use to broadcast Himena&#039;s voice across the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Himena had previously questioned Livia about the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth, specifically its property of creating copies of those who enter. She is disappointed to learn that these copies cannot leave the Labyrinth and are difficult to control, making them unsuitable for her synthesis ability. Livia also warned Himena that the historical east-west division in Kamihama is basically a ticking timebomb.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** San pressures Himena to master her ability to synthesize with substances, not just people, as it is crucial for their strategy. Shigure informs Himena that she captured a Mirrors clone of Mitsune, hoping to use it for synthesis experiments. Himena declines, having abandoned the idea of using copies, and decides instead to synthesize her ability with the radio telescope and the unique magic of Meiyui Chun, believing this combination will allow her to &amp;quot;change all the rules.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra confronts Himena, pleading with her to abandon the plan and join forces with Iroha instead. She argues that using and manipulating so many people is wrong and that the plan could get them all killed. Himena refuses, stating her love for Hiko and her ideals are non-negotiable. Faced with an ultimatum to choose between her or the Neo-Magius, Himena chooses the latter. Alexandra leaves the group, warning Himena that the Neo-Magius&#039; plan will kill her. Himena declares she is willing to become a slaughterer for her cause, blaming the people around her for making her this way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tokime Clan Branch:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yozuru observes the Tokime in behalf of Kagome. At Suitoku Temple, Shizuka announces the clan’s decision to ally with the Kamihama Magia Union and Promised Blood. She resolves not to force the Tokime Clan&#039;s philosophy onto others, despite her personal disagreement with Yuna&#039;s methods. The injured members, Ryoko and Asahi, are in recovery. Shizuka, Sunao, and Chiharu decide to travel to the Tokime Village to research Asahi&#039;s branch family and investigate the origin of her scars.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the temple, Ryoko grapples with the guilt of killing Sakuya. A conversation with Asahi about the dignity of life gives Ryoko a new purpose: to honor Sakuya&#039;s memory and guide her soul to Nirvana by living a life without regret. Meanwhile, Asahi reveals to Chika that her scars are &amp;quot;lessons&amp;quot; that &amp;quot;predators cannot be saved,&amp;quot; but avoids further explanation. Chika senses a deep loneliness in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka, Sunao, and Chiharu return to the Tokime Village, where Shizuka collapses from exhaustion and stress, overwhelmed by the evils she witnessed outside the village. Her mother warns that her new ambition to actively lead people onto a path of righteousness, rather than support them from the shadows, will inevitably lead to more conflict. The group learns that Asahi&#039;s family, the Miura line, originated from a branch family in a village now incorporated into Yukuni.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The trio travels to Yukuni City. They discover the local population is aware of Magical Girls and Witches. A gang of students soon confronts them, accusing Magical Girls of attracting Witches and being evil creatures destined to become monsters themselves. They reveal they are responsible for Asahi&#039;s scars and threaten the trio with violence. Shizuka nearly attacks them in a rage over the torture of Asahi, but Sunao and Chiharu restrain her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Suitoku Temple, Asahi confesses the truth to the others. In Yukuni, public knowledge of the Magical Girl System has bred widespread fear and hostility. Magical Girls are hunted and tormented, reducing their numbers to only four. Asahi then reveals her true allegiance is to Folklore of Zero, an observation group consisting of the four remaining Magical Girls from Yukuni.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Despite this revelation, Shizuka does not cast Asahi out, trusting her deeply and considering her family. Asahi nevertheless chooses to leave the Tokime Clan to avoid causing internal discord. Before departing, she tells Shizuka that the Tokime Clan&#039;s pure pride gave her hope, but she now fears Shizuka is on the verge of being &amp;quot;engulfed by the world&#039;s evils.&amp;quot; This conversation solidifies Shizuka&#039;s resolve that she must teach people righteousness and actively fight against evil.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Alina Branch:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina and Karin journey deeper inside the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth. Alina communicates with Mikoto, who reveals she is the consciousness of the Witch Endless Mirrors. Mikoto explains she was a Magical Girl who used self-suggestion magic to cope with a miserable home life. When she began to turn into a Witch, her self-suggestion broke, flooding her with negative emotions. In that moment, she resonated with Mitama Yakumo&#039;s wish to &amp;quot;destroy Kamihama.&amp;quot; To survive, Mikoto implanted her persona and memories into another Magical Girl, Hanna Sarasa, and has since transferred between hosts like a parasite once more, reaching Alina. Gathering energy from the Witch Eve gave her the power to manifest fully.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikoto asks Alina to join her in destroying everything. In return, Alina demands her lost memories back. Mikoto complies, and Alina recalls her original artistic philosophy: humanity unconsciously desires destruction, and she intended to provide a magnificent, global masterpiece of annihilation. Alina rejects Karin&#039;s &amp;quot;Reformation Project&amp;quot; and enthusiastically embraces Mikoto&#039;s &amp;quot;Evolution Project&amp;quot; to bring about destruction. The two hide themselves deeper within the Labyrinth, leaving Karin on her own.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Union &amp;amp; Promised Blood Branches:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi observes the Kamihama Magia Union for Kagome. They&#039;re in a state of uncertainty due to a proposed alliance with Promised Blood, and a deeper issue of distrust between the Magical Girls of Kamihama&#039;s east and west districts. Magical Girls from the east, including Mito, Seika, and Reira, express their apprehension about the alliance and their distrust of the west, citing incidents of violence and social ostracization. Kanagi and Mitama acknowledge the problem and seek to understand the eastern members&#039; feelings.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Union holds a meeting where the internal discord becomes clear. Eastern and western members, as well as those from the south, voice strong opposition to the alliance with Promised Blood. Iroha and Yachiyo recognize that mending the east-west rift is a prerequisite for any successful alliance. Iroha attempts to contact Yuna to provide an explanation to the Union, but Yuna delays her response due to similar internal turmoil within Futatsugi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Touka&#039;s lab, Iroha asks what the two have been up to. Nemu reports that Sana&#039;s picture books have been selling well, but Touka&#039;s attempts to reveal information about magic in the internet have failed to gain any traction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo, Mifuyu, Mikage, and Sudachi visit an elderly shopkeeper in the west. The shopkeeper shares a local legend about the historical figures Tsuyu Mizuna and Chizuru, who led a rebellion but later parted ways, causing the people to split into the eastern and western factions. This legend is presented as a possible ancient origin of the city&#039;s divide. During this visit, a child from the west who previously assaulted Mikage apologizes, and Mikage forgives him, demonstrating a potential for reconciliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha, Yachiyo, and others investigate the archives of the Ryushin Dojo, searching for historical documents on Tsuyu and Chizuru. They find only a single document that confirms the historical conflict but provides no reason for the schism.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Around this time, Karin returns from being missing within the Endless Mirrors to Kanagi&#039;s workplace. Kanagi tells them of everyone&#039;s location and Karin rushes to go to the dojo herself. There, she reveals that the Witch of the Endless Mirrors was a Magical Girl named Mikoto Sena, who possessed Alina. Alina, now with her memories restored, remains missing within the Mirrors. Yachiyo recalls being told that Mitama theorized that the identity of Endless Mirrors was a Magical Girl named Mikoto.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Kanagi works at her maid cafe, Momoko visits her to relay information from Karin. Concurrently, Mikage delivers the same news to Mitama, who is deeply troubled, as the date Sena Mikoto became a Witch coincides with the day she made her own wish to destroy Kamihama. Later that night, she confesses this to Kanagi, believing her wish is an inescapable curse that will inevitably be fulfilled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac8&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 8: Final Trigger|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 8: Final Trigger]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Around the same time, Kanagi and Mitama are separately approached by the Neo-Magius members San and Miyuri. They are invited to a meeting. Ao also receives an invitation and encourages Kanagi to attend. Kanagi agrees, reasoning that Mitama will likely join the group regardless.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Union holds a full assembly and Yachiyo addresses the group, advocating for reconciliation between east and west to ensure their collective survival. She uses the example of Mikage&#039;s forgiveness as a model for moving forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna arrives and deliberately provokes the assembly by openly stating her enduring hatred for Kamihama and detailing her past strategies to divide them. This inflammatory speech causes an uproar and nearly sparks a battle, which Yachiyo and Mifuyu manage to subdue. Yuna then clarifies that her actions were a calculated performance to unite the Union against a common enemy—herself—thus bypassing their internal suspicions. She formally declares that Promised Blood will ally only with Iroha personally, not the entire Union, and reveals she has already given her Kimochi Stone to Kanagi as an apology.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** This resolution, though unorthodox, is accepted and allows the cooperative framework to proceed. Later, Kanagi and Mitama travel together to a meeting with the Neo-Magius. Kanagi expresses her own growing despair over the entrenched East-West conflict in Kamihama, citing the recent incident where a child threw a rock at Mikage. Later at a cafe, Mitama and Kanagi meet San, Miyuri, Shizuka, and Ao. San outlines the Neo-Magius&#039; goal of Magical Girl supremacy, which would position them as gods above humanity. Himena then also reveals herself to be alive, and explains her plan to achieve supremacy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac8&#039;/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
** Kanagi attempts to read Himena&#039;s mind but is blocked by the presence of Hiko in her consciousness, confirming Himena is not insane but calculating. Impressed by the group&#039;s resolve and seeing a path to her own goals, Kanagi agrees to join. The four new members—Kanagi, Mitama, Shizuka, and Ao—declare their allegiance to the Neo-Magius.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, Kanagi gets a call from her father and learns that her younger brother, Sougetsu was severely beaten by a group of men from a western-affiliated organization that had previously sabotaged the eastern candidate in the mayoral election. The police show a suspicious lack of interest in the case.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac8&#039;/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
** Ranka also meets up with Momoko&#039;s team in the arcade and makes amends. She reveals she intends to show Yuna the places Sakuya frequented soon. In the aftermath, Iroha and Ui begin preparations to move out of their secret bunker and back to Mikazuki Villa, though they cannot find Lil&#039; Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Following Yuna’s decision to ally with the Kamihama Magia Union, the members of Ryuugasaki, led by Juri, strongly oppose the alliance. Juri, bored and lacking motivation without a fight, decides to reignite conflict by proposing a civil war between Ryuugasaki and Yuna’s faction, Torayamachi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, attempting to manage her student council duties, learns of the skirmish. She recognizes the deep divisions within Futatsugi and her own role in fostering them. When Iroha contacts her for an explanation to give the Union, Yuna delays her response, prioritizing the internal crisis.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna calls a meeting with the leaders of Futatsugi’s districts: Juri of Ryuugasaki and Ao of Janomiya. The meeting fails to reach a consensus, with Ryuugasaki members vehemently against trusting Kamihama. Juri proposes a representative match: if she wins, the war continues; if Yuna wins, it ends. Yuna reluctantly agrees to the fight in a desperate attempt to unify the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As the sisters prepare to battle the following day, Ao plots to kill them both in their weakened state to seize power for herself. In the arcade, Ranka overhears Ao’s plan and is alarmed by her increasingly extreme and dangerous mindset.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Heading to Kamihama, Urara accidentally stops at Sakuya&#039;s former school and witnesses her juniors&#039; victory, overhearing how deeply Sakuya impacted others. Meeting with Lavi&#039;s group, she remains uncertain about drawing her line until she hears news of a duel between Yuna and Juri over Promised Blood&#039;s alliance. She decides to return to Futatsugi one last time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tourara&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile in Kamihama, Kanagi learns that her workplace, the maid cafe, has been receiving threats not to employ anyone from Daito Ward, and that another cafe was forced to close due to such attacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** This series of events become Kanagi&#039;s final breaking point. She tracks down and violently assaults the members of the organization responsible, leaving many in critical condition.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, in the aftermath, Kanagi confronts her Doppel, which represents her inner self. It convinces her that she has crossed a point of no return and that true equality for Kamihama can only be achieved through total destruction. Kanagi fully accepts this path, resolving to become a true villain to break the city&#039;s cycle of conflict, even if it means hurting those she loves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The police investigate the brutal attack on the saboteur group&#039;s base, with the only lead being insufficient to track Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At the catacombs, the fight between Yuna and Juri escalates. Yuna pleads her case to the onlookers, explaining that she still holds a grudge against Kamihama but trusts Iroha’s goal to save all Magical Girls. Just as Ao moves to attack the exhausted sisters, Iroha arrives unexpectedly at the Futatsugi catacombs.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha explains she came to pay her respects to the Magical Girls who died in the Bloody Tragedy. She formally apologizes for the Magius’ actions and asks for forgiveness, promising to carry the souls of Futatsugi’s lost girls with her into a future where all Magical Girls can be saved. Her sincere words move the members of Promised Blood and effectively resolve the immediate conflict.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After Iroha departs, Ranka informs Yuna and Juri of Ao’s murderous intent. They confront Ao, who admits she would betray them if she felt they could no longer protect her. The group decides to monitor Ao closely.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha&#039;s visit makes Urara realize her lingering regret is for Sakuya and remembers her request: if anything happened, Urara should take one of her certificates from Yuna&#039;s house as a memento. She decides this is her line to draw.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tourara&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She spends the rest of the day visiting places filled with memories, then arrives at Yuna&#039;s house to discover the group has been secretly planning a farewell party. They drag her shopping, and when word accidentally spreads, nearly all of Promised Blood arrives to help and insists on attending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tourara&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102902 suicide juri.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* After school, Yuna cannot locate Juri and fears she has gone to attack Janomiya. She eventually finds Juri at their old base, about to shatter her own Soul Gem. Juri reveals she believes her violent nature is a threat to the new, peaceful era and that Futatsugi would be better off without her. Yuna convinces her to live by giving her a new purpose: to help save Ao.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yuna and Juri visit the graves of Ryo and Ikumi, where Hinano is also present. She states she does not mourn them but thanks them, as their deaths proved the Union also suffered loss, which helped convince her faction to ally. Hinano takes offense at this, and Yuna promises the Union her support, though she clarifies she cannot fully bear the weight of their deaths. Yuna makes Juri promise not to die until they save Ao.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The farewell party for Urara begins. After performing a juggling act, Urara finally reveals her true purpose: she came for Sakuya&#039;s memento. Inside a certificate tube, she finds a letter Sakuya left, expressing worry that Urara might leave quietly and hope that she would instead connect with Yuna and the others, assuring her that her place was with them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tourara&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Moved, Urara receives a farewell board signed by everyone and departs on good terms. Back with Folklore of Zero, Lavi praises her for drawing her line. Urara admits she still wants to believe magical girls can be saved, despite knowing the fate that awaits them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tourara&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====The Inheritors of Our Souls====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Bg adv 24015.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome wakes in the hospital and learns she is being discharged today. A pencil mascot of Aru speaks to her for the first time, explaining she wants to investigate Jeanne d&#039;Arc together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;inh&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Inheritors of Our Souls|The Inheritors of Our Souls]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome meets Torte inside her own mind. She introduces herself as a girl from 15th-century France who entered Kagome&#039;s consciousness through a place called the Ark of Feelings. She wants to learn how Jeanne d&#039;Arc is remembered in the future. Kagome goes to the library but finds no books about Jeanne d&#039;Arc. She visits Crescent House to greet the members of Mikazuki and while Iroha, Yachiyo and Ui remember Jeanne&#039;s name, Felicia and the others do not. The sky suddenly turns pitch black, a purple moon appears, and even the network goes down. Kagome is pulled into the Ark of Feelings.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;inh&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the Ark, Kagome meets with Torte, Pernelle, Nicholas, many of Darc&#039;s allies and even Darc herself. After facing the still-Magical Girl version of Isabeau, made possible through an offshoot Mirror Witch Labyrinth that connected to Isabeau around 1400. Torte makes a contract with Cube to preserve Darc&#039;s legacy. A new pen appears, which she delivers to Kagome’s past self through a dream. She destroys the mirror, ending the time paradox, but sends the pen to Kagome through her wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;inh&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning to the present day, Kagome wakes in the hospital again. The nurse tells her she is being discharged today. She has no memory of the journey. She goes to the library and researching Jeanne d&#039;Arc, she reads that after Jeanne&#039;s death, France indeed won victory after victory against England.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;inh&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Kagome visits Crescent House and notices her interview records have increased. They contain names of Magical Girls she does not know: Pernelle, Melissa, Elisa, Liz, and Jeanne d&#039;Arc. The handwriting is hers and her mechanical pencil has an Aru charm, which makes Kagome confused, as she has no memory of buying it. Kagome reads the records alone, which tell the story of her journey. She cannot fully believe it, but she feels the feelings written there are real. Sana suggests she give her collection of Magical Girl interviews a name, and Kagome decides to name it Magia Record.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;inh&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Part 7 encompasses part of [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 8: Flowers Sprouting from the Remains of Dreams|Chapter 8]], all the way to the end of [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 12: Tying The Eternal Coloring|Chapter 12]], including the epilogue of Arc 2.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;First Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the gathering arrives. Yachiyo notes it is unusual for Lil&#039; Kyubey to be missing for multiple days. As the groups prepare to unite the eight Kimochi Stones, Momoko calls with troubling news that Mitama and Kanagi have disappeared. Similar disappearances are reported across all factions, with Shizuka, Ao, and other lower-rank members also missing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102909 stone gather.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* At Seaside Park in Minaminagi, the remaining members of the Kamihama Magia Union, Tokime Clan, and Promised Blood gather. Despite the absences, they proceed with their plan with the five present Kimochi. Iroha calls upon the Kimochi to entrust her with their Stones, but as she receives them, the Kimochi suddenly go berserk and attack, specifically targeting Ui. Ui senses the Kimochi are in pain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Before the situation becomes dire, Kanagi, Mitama, Ao, and Shizuka arrive and subdue the rampaging Kimochi. Ui senses something wrong with Kamihama City, even stopping Hinano from using her Doppel against the Kimochi. After their defeat, Kyubey appears and reveals he has been inside the Automatic Purification System&#039;s core, gradually taking control. He now controls the system&#039;s force field and can turn the Doppel phenomenon on and off at will. It also reveals Lil&#039; Kyubey had been interfering, and as Lil&#039; Kyubey returns to Iroha, he says he&#039;ll keep observing him. Kyubey explains Ui is the only one who can reclaim the system, as she is the origin of Eve and can control the Purification System and the Kimochi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102909 neomagus3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* With this knowledge, the group realizes they still have all eight Kimochi Stones present and Ui can use them to enter the system. However, Kanagi, Mitama, Ao, and Shizuka reveal they have formed a new alliance with the Neo-Magius. The main five members of the Neo-Magius appear, with Himena revealing she&#039;d faked her death, and declare their goal for Magical Girl Supremacy, aiming to rule over humans while maintaining equality among Magical Girls. They have tree of the eight Kimochi Stones, with Mitama also claiming the Garnet Pinky while Iroha holds the other four.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102909 iroha mikage3.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama reveals her wish was always for Kamihama&#039;s destruction, and she no longer sees reason to hold back despite seeing Mikage&#039;s wish while coordinating her. Kanagi believes becoming a common enemy will unite the city&#039;s people. Ao admits she never truly believed she could escape being exploited and decided to rule instead. Shizuka argues that guiding humans away from evil requires Diviners to rule over them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The remaining Magical Girls are horrified and Chiharu and Sunao refuse to follow Shizuka&#039;s path. Mikage vows to bring Mitama back. The groups realize the Neo-Magius intends to prove Magical Girl superiority by driving humans into a corner, potentially repeating the Wings of the Magius&#039; actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that evening, at the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura in Hokuyo Ward, Kagome arrives to find Touka, Nemu, the four Folklore of Zero members, Nayuta, and Tasuke. Touka and Nemu announce they will use their lives to spread the truth about Magical Girls. They send a message to Ui, explaining their plan requires her, Kagome, and Iroha to live on until the promised time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:102909 toka nemu2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* With Sakurako&#039;s guidance, Touka and Nemu assume their positions, transform and their bracelets, punishment for their past sins, explode. They&#039;re sent to the hospital, where Touka&#039;s father screams in grief upon seeing them. At Crescent House, Sakurako confirms to Ui that the two are still alive but refuses to reveal their location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc8&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Second Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Suitoku Temple, Iroha&#039;s redistributed her Kimochi Stones to her allies. She keeps Sapphire Lips for herself, gives Aquamarine Heel to Yuna, Opal Head to Juri, and Diamond Hair to Chiharu. They&#039;ve realized that as long as the Kimochi are in their bracelet forms, Kyubey can&#039;t rile them up, so they should be careful when passing them to others. However it also appears that the Kimochi aren&#039;t limited to the twelve select girls anymore either.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 9: The Labyrinth of Light|Arc 2, Chapter 9: The Labyrinth of Light]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna announces she will return to Futatsugi for the holiday to handle school and money matters. She learns Ao has gone back there too and orders reserves to watch her. Chiharu and Sunao discuss contacting Shizuka, who read their message but did not reply. Sunao mentions the picture book Sana drew for her and Sana confirms she made it to offer Shizuka a new perspective on good and evil.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Neo-Magius members meet separately. Himena confirms they still plan to use the radio telescope to tell all of Kamihama about Magical Girls, but too many enemies nearby prevent them from acting right away. San understands the delay, and Himena feels excited because Promised Blood now faces money troubles that force them back to Futatsugi, giving Neo-Magius a perfect chance to weaken them further. Hagumu worries that the telescope has security set by Touka in the past, so any early warning could let the other side strike first. Shigure thinks going public already might have been a mistake if they cannot move quickly, but Himena insists that Neo-Magius will attack first. Miyuri cheers the progress toward earning respect for Magical Girls and turning San into a god, but San quickly stops her because Shigure and Hagumu only know about revealing Magical Girls to the public, not the harsher steps Himena now plans. Shizuka privately decides the plan makes sense even if it causes damage, since she views Kamihama as full of evil under a bad leader; she believes they must destroy that evil first to set the stage for the Tokime Clan to guide everyone toward goodness, and she even considers overthrowing Himena early to make her own clan the saviors. Himena keeps sending messages to Alexandra that go unread, begging her to reply.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Third Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Shigure and Hagumu live their daily lives, Shigure messages Hagumu with worry about making people believe the telescope broadcast, and Hagumu realizes she knows no details either. Miyuri asks San if they really must hide the full telescope plan from Hagumu and Shigure. San admits it feels hard but explains the group&#039;s plans have shifted to forcing supremacy through extreme actions that would drive Hagumu and Shigure away if they learned the truth. Miyuri wonders if San truly accepts how this could ruin her ties to her village and youth association, but San replies she came prepared for those relationships to change and plans to become a benevolent god who protects people even if Himena turns into a destructive one. She blames Himena’s sudden harsh turn on terror over losing Alexandra, the only person besides the deceased Hiko who truly cared for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta, Tasuke, Lavi, Asahi, Alexandra, and Urara arrive in Yukuni City. Nayuta reflects on the apparent deaths of Touka and Nemu, uncertain if their plan to reveal Magical Girls will lead to salvation or more misfortune.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Upon arriving in Yukuni, Lavi warns the group to be cautious, as the city&#039;s students are hostile toward Magical Girls. Their fears are confirmed when Nayuta is suddenly kidnapped by a student group called the Eradication Faction, led by Kurara, Urara&#039;s former partner.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During Nayuta&#039;s captivity, Kurara and the other students confront Nayuta. They accuse Lavi and her friends of causing numerous deaths and mental breakdowns among the student body in the past. They claim that after the Magical Girls left, the city became peaceful, and they view their return with Nayuta as a sign of renewed danger.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Nayuta&#039;s rescue, Lavi and the others rescue Nayuta and retreat to a guesthouse, which is revealed to be Lavi&#039;s family home. Tasuke explains that he previously used this location as a base to write his book and research Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta learns the full story of what happened in Yukuni. Lavi, Asahi, and Alexandra attempted to reveal the existence of Magical Girls to gain understanding and comfort for their tragic fate. Initially successful, their actions soon led to a chain of misfortunes, including student deaths from a Witch, a separate accident, and an avalanche. The public turned on them, blaming every disaster on the Magical Girls. Despite Tasuke&#039;s efforts to help them regain trust, the situation deteriorated. The Magical Girls that remained alive were driven out of the city after an incident where they &amp;quot;destroyed everyone&#039;s spirits.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At her home, Tsukasa is frustrated that her father has confined her since learning about her relationship with Tsukuyo. She decides she has waited long enough to act and Tsukuyo messages her about Promised Blood heading home to Futatsugi for the holiday, urging her to help the Union now. Take visits and shares that their boss wants to wait for things to calm down before letting Tsukasa out freely. Tsukasa thanks him and promises his favorite dinner as repayment. She reflects that Touka and Nemu always pushed harsh methods yet genuinely risked their lives for Magical Girl liberation, while she and Tsukuyo have only leaned on others.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* That night, Nayuta discusses the events with her father. Tasuke reveals his hypothesis that the universe itself may have a &amp;quot;will&amp;quot; or an &amp;quot;immune system&amp;quot; that actively works to suppress the truth about Magical Girls to protect the energy cycle they fuel. He theorizes that the misfortune in Yukuni and the current conflict in Kamihama are manifestations of this cosmic self-cleansing, a force that eliminates threats to the system. He sent Lavi&#039;s group to observe Kamihama to test this theory, fearing that revealing Magical Girls will only lead to despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fourth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Ui visit the hospital hoping to see Touka and Nemu, but staff allow no visitors. Mifuyu explains that the bracelets were meant to kill them on activation, yet they survived because their Soul Gems stayed intact. Ui asks if they will recover, and Iroha hopes so but admits confusion over why they stay unconscious. Mifuyu decides to store their Soul Gems in Touka’s secure private room for regular purification since distance would mean their bodies would die and worsen their condition. She asks Iroha and Ui to check on them sometimes because her own Endless Mirrors investigation and other duties might keep her away. They spot an old instruction manual Touka wrote to help Nemu manage her web novels and sales which reminds Iroha of Sana’s new picture book for Shizuka, and she suggests using the app’s gift feature to send it digitally so Shizuka might actually read it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After learning the truth about Yukuni City, Nayuta reflects on Tasuke&#039;s hypothesis that a cosmic &amp;quot;will of the universe&amp;quot; actively suppresses the revelation of Magical Girls. She remains unsatisfied with this conclusion, suspecting her father may have become disheartened by past failures. Lavi&#039;s mother expresses gratitude to Nayuta and Tasuke for providing Lavi a safe home away from the bullying she endured in Yukuni.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac9&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 9: Invisible yet Indelible|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 9: Invisible yet Indelible]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta volunteers to run an errand in town, secretly hoping to confront the hostile Eradication Faction. Lavi and the others initially refuse, citing the danger, but relent and accompany her when Nayuta sneaks out on her own.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As they walk, the Folklore members explain their shared goal. They came to Kamihama to test Tasuke&#039;s hypothesis, acting as observers infiltrated into various factions to see if attempts to reveal Magical Girls would be thwarted by cosmic forces, as they were in Yukuni. They describe themselves as connected by their shared &amp;quot;resignation.&amp;quot; Lavi tells Nayuta that if she wishes to be part of their group, Folklore of Zero, she must also give up her hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko, Kaede, Rena, and Ranka work to calm Karin after she panics over Endless Mirrors. Juri shows up, and Ranka explains she was worried about Karin and physically stopped her from rushing alone into Mirrors to rescue Alina. The group heads to the arcade to let off steam, while Momoko goes to check the East for more defections after Kanagi left, though luckily, warnings in advance kept most girls from following.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s Shop, Mikage talks quietly with Sudachi and vows to bring Mitama home, even if they end up fighting and Mikage struggles to forgive her. Sudachi uses telepathy to confess she had killed several classmates with her wish to prove Mikage’s heart can stay kind no matter what. Mikage refuses to hate her and promises to help her remain gentle, which convinces Mikage she will never truly hate Mitama either. Separately, Himena receives a reply at last and happily tells San they can arrange a polite pickup, ready to find out if it is genuine.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In Yukuni, the group is confronted by Kurara and the Eradication Faction. Nayuta tries to argue that Magical Girls are not malicious, but Lavi intervenes and withdraws. To make Nayuta understand their resignation, Lavi and the others take her on a tour of the sites of past tragedies in Yukuni: the location of the initial fatal explosion, the parking lot where their magic went wild and destroyed the minds of students during a reconciliation attempt, and the site of the bus accident that Urara survived but which fueled further hatred.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After hearing these stories and witnessing the group still dutifully fight Witches despite their trauma, Nayuta is heartbroken but remains resolved. She tells Lavi she cannot give up her hope, as she wants a future where the Folklore members can be saved and be happy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103001 tsukasa cooking.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukasa cooks Take’s favorite meat and potatoes dish, tricks him into leaving with a phone call from their boss, and slips out alone. She meets Himena in secret, confirms Promised Blood leaves for Futatsugi tomorrow, and explains she will join Neo-Magius to become feared villains who rewrite Kamihama history—only then will the city drive her and Tsukuyo out and free them from old ties. Himena welcomes her, promising Magical Girls cannot be expelled and can choose to stay or leave freely. Shizuka also receives the gifted picture book from Sunao and wonders what Sunao means by it, ready to treat any joke harshly as clan leader.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fifth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* After talking with Rii at home, Kagome visits the Coordinators to ask about Neo-Magius activities, since no one detects their magical signatures in Kamihama. Livia knows nothing, but Himena suddenly arrives for a power-up adjustment. She chooses Livia over Mitama to avoid risks if Mitama peers inside her mind and discovers the plan. After performing the adjustment, Livia tells Kagome that she will no longer remain neutral, as the plan she saw would bring the future Lavi feared. With no other leads on the Neo-Magius, Kagome decided to check on the Tokime Clan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Neo-Magius gathers, including Kanagi, Mitama, and Shizuka. Himena reassures them she avoids harming Magical Girls unnecessarily and focuses on supremacy to save everyone. Kanagi and Mitama target Kamihama&#039;s history and people instead, while Shizuka aims to purge the city&#039;s evil. San reminds them conflict remains inevitable with Union and others. They plan to act during the break when Promised Blood stays away, and Kanagi offers to lure Union members out so Himena&#039;s group can infiltrate Crescent House undetected.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Crescent House, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Felicia puzzle over the Neo-Magius&#039; intentions. They dismiss the civic center base and consider the radio telescope tied to old Magius operations, but find no activity there. Kanagi messages Yachiyo offering intel on the Neo-Magius&#039; plans but warns of sharp opponents and suggests preparing contingencies with a public meeting spot. The group suspects a trap given Kanagi&#039;s earlier resolve, yet decides to go with Momoko&#039;s team while Iroha, Sana, and Ui follow as backup.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Futatsugi, Yuna manages Promised Blood logistics amid family limits and financial strains. Hikaru reports steady watch on Ao with no issues and Yuna receives Kanagi&#039;s message through the Union. She views it suspiciously as a lure, but recognizes the Neo-Magius movement requires heightened alert.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Suitoku Temple, Iroha and Sana ask Sunao about sending Sana&#039;s picture book to Shizuka; Sunao confirms its delivery and read status but no reply. Sana doubts its impact as an amateur work, but Sunao insists it could help if shared in person. Sunao summarizes the story: a timid turtle learns kindness makes her valuable, ignores a trapped tiger&#039;s pleas as a villain, yet a white bird rescues the repentant tiger, revealing the turtle had judged wrongly. Sana explains the turtle represents her, the tiger Yuna, and the bird Iroha, inspired by Iroha&#039;s words that all fight to be saved despite differences; she hopes it promotes rejecting conflict for collective salvation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo texts Iroha to alert her of Kanagi&#039;s likely trap in Minaminagi, instructing a small advance group while Iroha&#039;s team trails for potential flank. Sunao prepares the Tokime Clan as Shizuka approaches, detected alongside Ao&#039;s earlier appearance. Chiharu and Kagome confirm Neo-Magius mobilization, and Iroha hopes Sunao conveys their feelings through the book to persuade Shizuka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo, Momoko, and others meet Kanagi and Mitama with their reinforcements. Kanagi admits the message served as bait to draw them out; neither plans to return. Mitama and Kanagi declare they will become a great evil uniting others against Kamihama&#039;s rotten history and fulfilling their destructive wishes meaningfully. They attack briefly, then Mitama paralyzes the group with her pre-set fabric magic and tampering their Soul Gems. Kanagi takes Lil&#039; Kyubey as a souvenir, and they leave a hatching Grief Seed as distraction before departing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi and Mitama anticipate the group moves to the cargo port for safe fighting, using it as pretext to empty the villa. They reaffirm no intent for serious harm among Magical Girls but proceed with their resolved path.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu wait near the radio telescope and Kanagi signals success by destroying the villa computer and disabling the alerts. They enter using Mitama&#039;s old Magius-era passcode, start the system—modified for ease—and confirm readiness once they acquire Meiyui&#039;s perception-altering magic to synthesize through Himena&#039;s power, broadcasting the altered reality city-wide beyond mere value shifts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103002 san hinano.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* San and Miyuri confront Nanaka&#039;s team to capture Meiyui. A battle ensues where San&#039;s absolute defense and Miyuri&#039;s relentless assault overwhelm them until Iroha, Ui, Sana, and Hinano intervene. Hinano&#039;s chemicals temporarily knock San out, forcing them to retreat without Meiyui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Himena faces iris recognition security Touka added. She spares Shigure and Hagumu the sight of comatose Touka, tasking San with photographing her eye while they fetch Mitsune for potential synthesized falsification magic without risking her becoming a Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha&#039;s group reaches the paralyzed team, removes the fabrics, and handles the hatched Witch. Reports flood in of widespread Witches, which Neo-Magius have spread as a strategy to scatter forces. Nanaka&#039;s team volunteers to fight Witches threatening civilians, freeing Mikazuki to check the Crescent House.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at the house, searches reveal nothing stolen or damaged, leaving everyone confused about the intrusion&#039;s purpose.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Suitoku Temple, Kagome observes the standoff between Sunao, Shizuka, Chiharu, Ryoko, and Chika. Chiharu asks if Shizuka had left the Neo-Magius to return, but Shizuka states that it was the others who had rejected her as family head. She&#039;s there not to rejoin the clan, but to convince her former followers to support her vision of Diviners ruling as gods to purge evil. Shizuka outlines her plan to have Himena be in charge initially, and if she causes suffering to people outside Kamihama, Shizuka would strike her down to earn the Diviners the respect of the people. Sunao compares Shizuka&#039;s methods to Mikoshiba, and Chiharu adds that Himena is a person who could commit evil with a pure heart, without malice. Sunao declares she would not let Shizuka leave, and Shizuka orders her accompanying branch family members to buy her time to escape. Despite Sunao&#039;s cry, Shizuka flees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After Shizuka escapes, Ryoko assures Chiharu that speaking forcefully was necessary to reach Shizuka. They all describe their ideal image of the Tokime Clan, which involves exterminating Devils and helping everyone indiscriminately. They resolve to find Shizuka and Chika communicates with animals to track her. Sunao apologizes to Kagome for departing and Aru asks Sunao whether the branch family members who followed Shizuka were those who had their wishes assigned to them in the clan&#039;s ritual. Sunao confirms this, shocked she hadn&#039;t noticed the pattern herself. Kagome apologizes for the impertinent observation, but Sunao is grateful, and she concludes that Shizuka and the branch families were seeking self-meaning and resorted to extremes because of it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka&#039;s mother calls Chiharu. She had a premonition and called after Shizuka didn&#039;t answer. Chiharu explains how Shizuka and some branch families had joined the enemy, believing Diviners must guide people to prevent corruption. Shizuka&#039;s mother states she would not take sides and would accept whichever side won, but to win, they must either change Shizuka or kill her, as she had raised Shizuka to be prepared for that.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Chiharu&#039;s mother intervenes, taking the phone. She admonishes Shizuka&#039;s mother, stating Shizuka was just a girl who bore pressure because she wasn&#039;t alone but supported by her peers. She tells Shizuka&#039;s mother to be honest about her love for her daughter rather than rationalizing her death. Shizuka&#039;s mother concedes that she is right and apologizes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Elsewhere, Shizuka reflects that she agrees with Kanagi and Mitama that destruction could be a final means for change, but saw Himena as different and selfish. Shizuka plans to take Himena&#039;s head if she oversteps, to show the people a kind-hearted Diviner watched over them. She questions aloud if she was like Mikoshiba, but a branch family member reassures her they aren&#039;t acting on selfish desires. Shizuka notices a bird, which is Chika&#039;s animal informant.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The others find Shizuka, who had anticipated them. Shizuka declares she will stop them there and used her personal magic to create invisible walls and stop them. She states she will keep them there until the Neo-Magius&#039; plans were complete. Sunao realizes Shizuka could sustain it indefinitely if branch members supplied her with Devil&#039;s Souls for purification. Ryoko devises a plan to talk to the branch family members and, with Chiharu, Ryoko begins a forced sermon for the trapped branch members with her unique magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryoko lectures the branch members, arguing that the old Tokime Clan operated in the shadows as part of Mikoshiba&#039;s rule, but historically, they knew the world and still protected the land. She also states one cannot understand good without understanding evil, just as light creates shadow. By trying to be a beacon of pure goodness, they were inadvertently creating evil. A branch member realizes their clan&#039;s history was one of being ruled and cut off. Before Mikoshiba, the clan knew the people, understood their evil, and still made wishes for them. They conclude that to teach good, one must also acknowledge evil.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The branch members apologize to Shizuka, stating they now saw what the Tokime Clan should truly hate. With their support withdrawn, Shizuka&#039;s hold falls and she resorts to her Gaze Locking technique. Sunao, seeing no other choice, declares she has to kill Shizuka, but Chiharu grabs Sunao&#039;s arm, admonishing them for treating lives too lightly. Chiharu makes an emotional plea for the three of them to stay together as they were when they set out. She begs Shizuka to come back so they could support each other, restart the clan, and avoid pushing people into extremes of good and evil. Shizuka responds that it was already too late.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome notes that Shizuka and the branch families were bound by a duty to protect the land, and breaking free from that history would be a source of hope for all Magical Girls. Kagome asks Rii to relay a message to Chiharu and Sunao. The Uwasa quickly delivers the message and Chiharu understands the plan is to use the Kimochi Stones, just like with Iroha and Yuna, might allow Shizuka to understand their thoughts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Juri and Ranka, who had tailed Neo-Magius Feathers to a mountain base, debate assaulting it. Yuna calls Juri, ordering her and Ranka to meet Chiharu and Sunao and lend them Juri&#039;s Opal Kimochi Stone, which was filled with respect. Yuna explains this was Iroha&#039;s idea, as Shizuka would need the feelings of those close to her. Yuna acknowledges the risk of the Kimochi taking over but says it is worth the chance. Juri agreed, and they departed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Having been ordered by Himena to retrieve Mitsune from the hospital, Shigure and Hagumu link Himena&#039;s increasingly radical behavior to Alexandra&#039;s departure. Himena plans to synthesize Mitsune&#039;s falsification magic to bypass security for the radio telescope operation. To mitigate the risk of Mitsune turning into a Witch, Himena plans to not let Mitsune use it, but rather take it for herself. They encounter San and Miyuri on the way to the hospital, where San is mixing a powder for an undisclosed purpose to avoid conflict.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shigure and Hagumu enter Mitsune&#039;s room, as she&#039;s recovering from her legs being paralyzed. Shigure and Hagumu update her on the plan to use the radio telescope to spread knowledge of Magical Girls, framing it as making them heroes, thus turning Mitsune&#039;s online &amp;quot;lie&amp;quot; into reality. However, Mitsune tells them about her &amp;quot;true self,&amp;quot; who was a lonely girl playing games in her room. Being a heroic Magical Girl was a lie she wore and Himena had previously asked her to &amp;quot;falsify the goals of the western candidate&amp;quot; in the Kamihama mayoral election. Mitsune had realized too late this was not to help people but to destabilize the East and manipulate Kanagi and Shizuka, paving the Neo-Magius&#039; path to victory. She believes this unforgivable act means she could never be a hero or face the ghost of Jun, who she now fully remembers. She reveals San had stopped her from telling Shigure and Hagumu earlier, but she pleads with them to stop Himena.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* San and Miyuri, unable to access Touka&#039;s room, encounter Mifuyu, who is guarding it. San proposes Mifuyu joins the Neo-Magius, citing Tsukasa&#039;s defection and Mifuyu&#039;s debt to Touka and Nemu. Mifuyu refuses, stating her debt was to Touka and Nemu, not their ideology, and that they gave her a chance to dream by tutoring her. Mifuyu asks what the Neo-Magius is planning, and San, after checking the time with Miyuri, reveals it. The revelation horrifies Mifuyu, whose vision becomes shaky. San reveals she had used a special chemical blend secured by Feathers on Mifuyu, thanking Hinano for the lesson earlier. San and Miyuri leave to find Shigure and Hagumu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103003 mitsune escape.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Shigure and Hagumu, reeling from the news about the election, resolve to flee with Mitsune and beg the Union for help to stop Himena. The three discuss a message from Alexandra confirming the grim nature of the operation. They express not wanting this future or to kill anyone, and Shigure recalls Juri&#039;s advice about dangerous &amp;quot;nice&amp;quot; allies. They escape by jumping through the emergency exit before San and Miyuri enter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the radio telescope, Himena is frustrated by a prerecorded taunting message from Touka that prevents access and alerted authorities. She acknowledges Mitsune&#039;s magic was now essential.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, at Crescent House, Iroha receives a message from Tsukuyo that Tsukasa is missing, reminiscent of Mitama&#039;s disappearance. Felicia yells, having found proof that Mitama and Kanagi had indeed broken into their house. Yachiyo surmises that Kanagi and Mitama had broken the computer in Touka&#039;s room, specifically its power supply, to prevent alerts from Touka&#039;s systems. Given the Neo-Magius&#039; goal, they deduce the target is the radio telescope, which they plan to use, as was done once before to lure Walpurgisnacht, to spread the ideology of Magical Girl Supremacy across Kamihama.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Immediately after Mifuyu&#039;s capture, San and Miyuri transport her. San receives a call from Kanagi, who reports that Yachiyo and the main Union force are en route to the radio telescope. Kanagi states her team will stall them and San also learns that Shizuka&#039;s team has not reported in from Suitoku Temple. San leaves Miyuri to take Mifuyu ahead and goes to check on Kanagi&#039;s squad.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Elsewhere, the standoff continues between Kanagi, Mitama, and the the girls of Mikazuki, where Kanagi explains she gave Lil&#039; Kyubey to Himena. Iroha and Ui plead with them to stand down, but Kanagi and Mitama explain their resolve to use force to change Kamihama, stating that trust and dialogue have failed. Shigure, Hagumu, and Mitsune arrive, fleeing from San and begging the Union to protect Mitsune. San is able to take Mitsune and leave, however Mitsune uses telepathy to let Shigure know that she won&#039;t let them take advantage of her that easily. Shigure reveals the Neo-Magius&#039; true plan is to use the radio telescope to broadcast a signal that uses Mitsune&#039;s falsification magic. This signal would make people unable to eat or drink without acknowledging the superiority of Magical Girls, breaking the population through fear and instinct.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo confronts Kanagi, who confirms her involvement in this plan. A battle erupts as the Union tries to break through to the telescope. Kanagi and Mitama, aided by their Neo-Magius Feathers, successfully stall the Union forces.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile in Yukuni, the group prepares to return to Kamihama. As they leave Yukuni, Nayuta reaffirms her determination to create a future where Magical Girls are saved. On the train, Lavi reflects on their role as bystanders and fears that if Kamihama meets the same fate as Yukuni, proving the universe&#039;s will is hostile, Nayuta will come to despise them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103004 tokime persons.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Concurrently, Sunao and Chiharu have a standoff with Shizuka, and Juri and Ranka arrive, giving them the Kimochi Stone of Respect to enter Shizuka&#039;s heart. Chika receives a message from the Union detailing the Neo-Magius&#039; plan for the radio telescope and Chiharu and Sunao enter Shizuka&#039;s heart. They find it frozen over, but through a role-play based on Sana&#039;s picture book, they help Shizuka realize that her method of purging evil by inflicting suffering is flawed. Shizuka understands that true virtue involves healing the suffering that causes wrongdoing, not punishing the wrongdoer. She apologizes to her clan and decides to lead them not as a solitary ruler, but with the support of the branch families. The reunited Tokime Clan also heads for the radio telescope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shizuka contacts Iroha on the phone to inform her the Tokime Clan is on the way. Tsukuyo also broadcasts a telepathic warning to all Magical Girls in Kamihama about the Neo-Magius&#039; plan. Yuna and the Promised Blood faction, having dealt with Ao, arrive to reinforce the Union. With their combined numbers, the Union breaks through Kanagi and Mitama&#039;s defensive line.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside the radio telescope facility, Himena uses Mitsune&#039;s falsification magic to disable the final security and then Mifuyu&#039;s magic to synthesize the broadcast signal. San notes that despite Mifuyu&#039;s magic being for hallucinations, she&#039;d previously used it for self-suggestion at Hotel Fenthope, so she&#039;ll do. As the Union advances to the radio telescope, Tsukasa declares that even if Tsukuyo warns everyone about the situation, it will not change the outcome. Iroha directly refutes this and reports that Tsukuyo&#039;s voice has been heard, and a great wave of Magical Girls is gathering around the radio tower.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna debates with Ao about her dream about the Magical Girl world, but Ao just concludes that while achieving her goal is difficult, it is still possible. Hikaru pleads with Ao to return to them, but Ao insists on continuing and becoming someone who no one can threaten. Yuna and Juri then declare their intent to remind Ao what fear is. A fight between the three and Ao commences, during which they brush her aside and then proceed toward the telescope. They leave Ao behind and tell her that their goal was to get to the telescope the entire time, which enrages Ao.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime also approach the telescope and Hinano announces they have broken through and instructs the group to follow her. Yachiyo defeats Kanagi, having successfully countered her mind-reading power, and proceeds with her team. Iroha prepares to give the order for a combined attack, but Himena abruptly announces that their time is up, shocking her. Himena reveals she has already now destroyed the telescope after sending the signal, as she doesn&#039;t need it anymore, also thanking Mifuyu for providing her magic. San orders a full retreat for the Neo-Magius, with Miyuri offering Shigure and Hagumu a chance to return with them, but both refuse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome arrives to the scene and confirms that the effect is real, as when she tried to drink, she became very nauseous instead. She deduces Himena&#039;s plan is to wait until the population suffers from this condition and then reveal the existence of Magical Girls. Citing information from her phone, she states the human body can survive only about four days without water. Therefore, a countdown for the city&#039;s survival has begun, with Kagome&#039;s own life also at risk.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage asks Tsukuyo for help in getting everyone in the East and West to make up to put Mitama at ease. Tsukuyo is taken aback but agrees to help after learning Mikage wants her sister back from the Neo-Magius and that they share the same goal. Tsukuyo notes Mitama hasn&#039;t heard that Mikage made up with the child who bullied her at the Tomorrow Shop, and Kanagi likely doesn&#039;t know either. Mikage aimes to prove people from both sides can get along with &amp;quot;Operation Friendship,&amp;quot; which Tsukuyo agrees to join. Their operation starts at the Tomorrow Shop, where Mikage gathers grade schoolers to help with the project, and Tsukuyo convinces one of the children&#039;s sister, an older girl who was also a member of Tsukuyo&#039;s koto club. It was at this time that everyone in the shop, with the exception of Mikage and Tsukuyo, become unable to eat or drink. Tsukuyo receives a telepathic message and concludes the situation is the work of the Neo-Magius, and Mikage gets a message from Shigure that the mayoral election rift was stirred up by Himena behind the scenes, and the now current mayor from the West disgraced the Eastern candidate not by her own will. Tsukuyo states that if they tell Mitama and Kanagi the truth, it might not be enough to bring them back, so they decide to continue with Operation Friendship. Tsukuyo telepathically tells Mikage she will meet up with Iroha&#039;s group and contact Mikage on her way to the West, while Mikage says she will swing by her house.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 10: Scampering Drastic Lovers|Arc 2, Chapter 10: Scampering Drastic Lovers]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* At the Puella Care trailer, Livia confronts Kyubey, accusing him of inciting Himena. Kyubey denies this, but Livia tells him that if he attempts any funny business, they will withdraw their cooperation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc9&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103005 old puella magi.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta reflects on her discoveries about how in Yukuni, Magical Girls revealed their existence to friends and it backfired, causing harm and resentment. Her father&#039;s research into historical figures rumored to be Magical Girls found none were publicly known as such, leading to his theory that the universe actively suppresses anything inconvenient to its energy cycle. Nayuta refuses to accept salvation is impossible and resolves to go to Kamihama City to witness firsthand what happens when Magical Girls&#039; existence is about to be revealed, determined to find hope for the future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Lavi, Alexandra, Asahi, Urara, and Tasuke discuss the situation. Lavi confirms, based on a message from Shigure to Alexandra, that Himena has initiated her plan to inform the world of Magical Girls&#039; existence. Alexandra notes Himena has made it impossible for people in Kamihama to eat or drink, which will create an unbridgeable gap between humans and Magical Girls, even if their existence becomes known. Urara suggests the universe&#039;s self-cleaning effect might not activate if this path isn&#039;t comforting for Magical Girls, but Tasuke counters that if humans become afraid, fewer will contract, also threatening the universe&#039;s energy supply.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Puella Care&#039;s trailer, Livia, Yozuru and Sudachi have finally tracked the magic signature of Himena, which had been concealed by coordination. They vow to snuff out whatever plan she is involved in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside the Kamihama Civic Center, Himena confirms to San and Miyuri that she has been honest with Shigure about her plans, including using Mitsune&#039;s falsification magic to manipulate the Kamihama mayor&#039;s goals and intentionally involving townspeople. She admits she cannot create the future she and Shigure both wanted, but her motive stems from a desire to force people, like her disapproving mother, to acknowledge her relationship with Hiko. San confirms she and Miyuri chose to stay to support Himena&#039;s plan for them to become gods of the Fire Festival. San reports they successfully tracked down and expelled Shigure and Hagumu to the Union, but Himena remains confident, stating Shizuka bought them time and that she has tricks prepared, even if dozens of Magical Girls attack. San secures a promise from Himena not to involve the people of Hikarizuka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Himena addresses the remaining Feathers through a stage announcement. She declares only 11 hours remain until Magical Girls&#039; existence is revealed and urges them to obey her final instructions to achieve Magical Girl supremacy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* From the satellite base, Kagome observes the hundreds of thousands of affected people in Kamihama, including Magical Girls&#039; families. Many Magical Girls react with horror about their families, and Iroha questions Shigure and Hagumu, who claim they didn&#039;t know the plan would go this far but accept blame. Iroha believes them and asks for their help and they deduce Himena will likely make her move in the morning, after anxiety peaks and people are home watching media. Felicia proposes attacking the TV station immediately, but Ranka and Yuna argue for seizing control of power sources and antennas to shut down the broadcast network at will.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the satellite base, the group coordinates. Shizuka, Sunao, and Chiharu volunteer to handle Witch-hunting in Kamihama to prevent curses from spreading during the crisis. Yachiyo instructs Magical Girls with families in Kamihama to go home and check on them. Teams are formed, with Shigure, Hagumu, and Promised Blood targeting the broadcast network, Mikazuki will team up to stop the broadcast, and Mifuyu requests to go her own way to break the mass suggestion by collaborating with the Amane sisters. Yachiyo agrees, and they plan to reunite Tsukuyo and Tsukasa first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the radio tower, San and Miyuri have positioned Feathers and await the Union&#039;s attack, correctly predicting they will target the main TV transmission tower. They discuss the spreading rumors about Kamihama on social media and San explains Himena&#039;s personal hierarchy has Hiko first, Alexandra second, the Neo-Magius third, other Magical Girls fourth, and everyone else meaningless. She notes Alexandra could only delay Himena&#039;s plan, which San is grateful for as she needs to act before Fire Festival culture fades further.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo receives a call from her modeling manager about a late-night news program on Kamihama, which she dismisses. The group approaches TV Kamihama, and Sana senses no magic yet. Felicia wants to smash the antenna immediately, but Tsuruno and Sana argue it would only confuse the public. The team decides to secure the area and they receive updates that Rena and Momoko&#039;s families are safe. Tsukuyo catches up, reporting she couldn&#039;t contact Tsukasa and Sana detects the Neo-Magius&#039; approach.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Neo-Magius Feathers attack in coordinated trios, attempting to split the Union team. Tsuruno devises a counter-strategy by pretending to flee to lure the Feathers into a trap in a familiar area of Chuo Ward. The plan succeeds, and the Feathers are defeated and incapacitated.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Mifuyu and Tsukuyo confront San and Miyuri on a rooftop. Mifuyu demonstrates improved combat skills, deflecting San&#039;s bullets, but Miyuri, in her unconscious state, proves a formidable opponent. San admits she dislikes fighting familiar opponents because they catch on too easily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Tsukasa, stationed at a lesser-known radio station per San&#039;s orders, watches news reports and is consumed by guilt over her role. A former Magius Black Feather expresses unwavering belief in Magical Girl supremacy as the only way to break the suggestion and save lives. When Yuna, Juri, Ranka and Hikaru attack, Tsukasa flees into the sewers, a location she and Tsukuyo once guarded. Using the chamber&#039;s acoustic properties to amplify her flute&#039;s sound as a weapon, she incapacitates the Promised Blood team and escapes with the help of a Black Feather who sacrifices herself to hold them back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Promised Blood regroups with Mifuyu and Tsukuyo and they deduce the Neo-Magius was only buying time to make finishing touches. Yuna speculates that Ao, working separately, might be the Neo-Magius&#039; winning bet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikazuki secures the perimeter of the main antenna. Iroha and Ui try to reason with San, but San refuses to be persuaded and she and Miyuri retreat. Yachiyo&#039;s team takes control of the antenna but feels the victory was too easy, suspecting a stall tactic or alternative media plans, like livestreams, or satellite. Sana volunteers to infiltrate the Neo-Magius base with Shizuka&#039;s help, as Shizuka knows their inner workings.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s vacant shop, Momoko finds Mikage, as they both snuck out from their homes. Mikage reveals she has been helping Tsukuyo with &amp;quot;Operation Friendship&amp;quot; to bring Mitama back and needs Momoko&#039;s help to reach out to people from the East. Momoko decides to take a gamble and join the operation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103101 approach.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Sana and Shizuka, disguised in Neo-Magius robes, infiltrate the Takarazaki Community Center. Shizuka explains the complex weekly password system, and they wait with the other Feathers. Sana, using her invisibility, scouts the kitchen and finds torn pieces of a shipping receipt. She reconstructs it and discovers the Neo-Magius mailed some kind of disc to various media outlets three days prior, which she relays to the Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Felicia discuss Sana&#039;s discovery over the phone. Tsuruno deduces the mailed discs likely contained information on Magical Girls and a prediction of the current crisis in Kamihama, making the unrealistic claim credible after the prediction comes true. They realize Himena can spread the word without appearing herself, potentially framing all Magical Girls as harmful. Yachiyo analyzes that serious media will be cautious about airing such content, especially involving a minor, while lighter outlets lack credibility.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During a meeting upstairs, which Sana eavesdrops on, San confirms Himena is in hiding. She laments the damage to their broadcast network, and with reduced forces, they decide against spreading too thin. Their new plan is to use the giant publicity loudspeakers at the Kamihama Civic Center to broadcast Himena&#039;s voice. San also decides to recall Tsukasa to the Community Center. Sana relays this new target location to the Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a rooftop, Kanagi and Mitama monitor the growing chaos in Kamihama. They dismiss the message about Himena&#039;s manipulation of the election as a ploy, believing the East-West conflict is inevitable. They resolve to continue their path of uniting people against them through destruction. The Kimochi Stone of Grief acts up, attempting to erode them, and to prevent the Kimochi from stealing their grief without consequence, Mitama performs a dangerous coordination, fusing the Kimochi&#039;s fate with their very lives, ensuring it cannot take their sorrow without also taking their lives. They emerge with their new &amp;quot;Eternal Darkness&amp;quot; transformations.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Elsewhere Ao is making her way to Yukuni City&#039;s eradication faction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* From her room, Kagome&#039;s grateful her parents were saved from the effects of the radio. Elsewhere, Momoko, Rena, Kaede and Mikage discuss their efforts to unite East and West students. Momoko reports only a 30% success rate in the West, as people are preoccupied with their physical ailments, and that Mikage and Tsukuyo had an advantage by acting before the crisis. The group is uncertain how much they can achieve before morning to bring back Mitama and Kanagi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu and Tsukuyo, racing to catch up to the main group, note Iroha&#039;s team is closer to the Kamihama Civic Center. Hikaru is frustrated by the lack of response from Ao and Juri discovers a scheduled livestream on Ao&#039;s Dotube channel. Yuna suspects Himena might use it for her broadcast and Shigure and Hagumu note that a direct confrontation at the Civic Center seems unlike Himena&#039;s style, suggesting a deeper plan. Tsukuyo checks a tracking app and discovers Tsukasa is actually south of their location, not in Daito. She theorizes Tsukasa may have been too scared to disable the app or simply forgot and Mifuyu decides to split from the group to pursue Tsukasa with Tsukuyo, believing the Civic Center team has enough manpower, to which Yuna gives no objection.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Yachiyo, Ui, Tsuruno, and Felicia arrive near the Kamihama Civic Center. They sense no trace of Himena or Tsukasa but detect a familiar, cold magical signature. They encounter Kanagi and Mitama, with their magical presence feeling cold and wrong. Tsuruno warmly invites them back, but Kanagi and Mitama immediately attack her soul gem without hesitation. Their new transformation, Everlasting Darkness, is revealed and they speak in unison about delivering meaningful ruin and death as a form of hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A battle ensues, where Kanagi&#039;s predictive abilities have improved, making her nearly untouchable. Yachiyo tries to reason with them, urging Kanagi to remember the people around her, and Kanagi acknowledges she is poor at gauging feelings but states she has decided to abandon the present Kamihama to focus on the future. Yachiyo is overwhelmed and Felicia is drained of strength by Mitama. The duo prepares to finish the group but suddenly decides to retreat, stating time is of the essence. As they leave, Mitama sets a trap on the door. Yachiyo warns Felicia just in time, preventing her from triggering an explosion that would have killed them all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu and Tsukuyo find only Tsukasa&#039;s discarded phone and decide to follow Tsukasa&#039;s remaining magical energy. Mifuyu notes a press organization broadcasting emergency instructions on an electronic billboard.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside the Takarazaki Community Center, Sana and Shizuka receive Iroha&#039;s message that the Civic Center intel was false and they realize they may have been discovered. Shizuka proposes attacking San while she and Miyuri are resting to demoralize the Feathers, and Sana reluctantly agrees and uses her magic to hide Shizuka&#039;s presence. The attempt fails, as San had activated her absolute defense and was waiting for them. She and Miyuri wake and order the Feathers to capture Sana and Shizuka. A chase ensues and Sunao, Chiharu, and the rest of the Tokime Clan, who had been on standby, intervene to rescue them. The Neo-Magius is forced to break off the pursuit when neighbors begin to notice the commotion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After escaping, Sana proposes returning to the Community Center alone, believing their guard will be down. She devises an escape plan using Chika&#039;s animal communication, and having the dog Mameji from Chiaki&#039;s bento shop track her scent and, with a pack of other dogs, cause a distraction if she&#039;s in danger. The Tokime Clan agrees to help and Sana re-infiltrates and overhears San having a heated argument with a Youth Association member named Tatsu. Tatsu informs her the portable shrine for the Fire Festival is to be disposed of, as there&#039;s no hope of reviving the &amp;quot;dangerous&amp;quot; festival. San is devastated, declaring she will become the festival&#039;s god herself and Tatsu tells her to move on. San is left heartbroken, having risked her life as a Magical Girl to protect the festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Sana eavesdrops on Feathers discussing their next mission of sending five members to Yukuni City to follow Ao and the Janomiya faction. Their goal is to prevent Ao from killing members of the Eradication Faction, then capture the faction members on video to condemn their disrespect towards Magical Girls for their broadcast. Sana is horrified but her reaction breaks her concealment magic and San and Miyuri corner her. Miyuri shatters Sana&#039;s shield, and as San is about to deliver a final blow, the pack of dogs led by Mameji attacks, creating enough chaos for Sana to escape. She is badly injured but rescued by the Tokime Clan, with her final message warning everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at the Crescent House, Mitama had pre-rigged the explosion and only added the final trigger at the end. Yachiyo laments that their words couldn&#039;t reach Kanagi and Mitama. Tsuruno picks up their faint, concealed magical signatures and tracks them heading toward Kamihama&#039;s city hall. Iroha realizes the city hall&#039;s disaster warning radio system, capable of broadcasting a voice across the entire city, and they must stop this final broadcast attempt.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna and Promised Blood arrive, as they&#039;ve failed to find Himena. Iroha receives a call from Shizuka relaying Sana&#039;s message that the Neo-Magius plans to directly harm people in Yukuni City and broadcast it on Ao&#039;s Dotube channel to showcase Magical Girl cruelty and power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Simultaneously, the Union group chat reveals that flyers with QR codes linking to Ao&#039;s channel have been inserted into local newspapers. The flyer claims advance knowledge of the Kamihama crisis, lending credibility to the upcoming stream. Promised Blood immediately departs for Yukuni City to stop Ao and the Neo-Magius squad. Yachiyo announces that she will appear as a commentator on a live news broadcast with the mayor, intending to go off-script to help the situation, even at the risk of being banned from the entertainment industry and cutting off Mikazuki&#039;s income. She asks for the team&#039;s cooperation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On a train, Nayuta, Lavi, Urara, Asahi, Alexandra, and Tasuke observe the conflict. Nayuta finds it pointless that sides with the same goal are fighting and Lavi suggests such clashes may be the universe&#039;s will to reduce those who would spread the word. Urara notes no one has died yet and Asahi states the aftermath is what matters. Tasuke prays his theory about universal cleansing is wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* While the main Kamihama Magia Union confronts the leadership, other members assist Mikage&#039;s &amp;quot;Operation Friendship.&amp;quot; This operation aims to promote a signature site for the &amp;quot;Student Council for the Future of Kamihama&amp;quot; to unite the city&#039;s East and West.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac10&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 10: Shadowy Reflection in the Water|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 10: Shadowy Reflection in the Water]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Asuka, Sasara, and Emiri clear out the Witches released by the Neo-Magius. Afterwards, Iroha tasks them with promoting the signature site, and the team, along with other Union members like Maria, Meguru, and Aimi, attempt to spread the site via social media but achieve limited success due to low reach and corporate restrictions, as idol Sayuki Fumino&#039;s management forbids her from posting about it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later that night, the team is called to the river between Kosho and Daito Wards by Rui. They find a large crowd of Witch-Kissed people from all over Western Kamihama attempting to cross into Daito Ward. The group, carrying heavy bags filled with objects to weigh themselves down, intend to commit suicide in the river as a form of atonement for their historical prejudice against the East. They explain their actions stem from guilt, weakness, and a warped sense of justice, amplified by the Neo-Magius&#039; plan and Yachiyo&#039;s televised appeal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Magical Girls realize the only difference between themselves and the despairing citizens is the &amp;quot;luck&amp;quot; of their circumstances; had they not become Magical Girls and found a supportive community, they could have easily shared the same fate. This shared understanding becomes the key to reaching them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meiyui and Aimi defeat the Witch, breaking her influence. Sayuki, defying her management, holds an impromptu guerrilla concert and announces a new song titled &amp;quot;#I&#039;m Like You, I&#039;m With You,&amp;quot; a concept inspired by Ria&#039;s earlier commentary. The concert is broadcast online, and the hashtag trends locally. The Union uses this trending tag to successfully promote the signature site, leading to a massive surge in signatures and public support for unification.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mitama&#039;s Shop, Sana is treated by Livia, Yozuru and Sudachi, with Shizuka offering a Grief Seed for her. Sunao and Chiharu arrive, relieved to find the group, as they couldn&#039;t patch Sana&#039;s injuries fast enough at the Puella Care trailer, but Livia explains they were on the move for their own reasons. Shizuka says she can&#039;t tell if Livia is a good person, and Livia admits she&#039;s the one who&#039;s been making them fight each other, so maybe she&#039;s not, but despite that, she is still an ally to everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside Neo-Magius’ base, Iroha confirms that Yuna and her friends safely boarded a freight train to Yukuni City, and Yachiyo heads off to the studio. Shigure and Hagumu also depart to try and find Mitsune, who still hasn&#039;t been found, even after the radio tower incident. Felicia and Tsuruno agree to head to the city hall to reach the emergency broadcast console.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena thanks Mitsune, telling her she can stay there for the rest of the night. Mitsune asks if Himena is really going to use &amp;quot;that device&amp;quot; and Himena confirms it&#039;s already installed and just needs activation. Himena justifies her actions by saying that she needs it to get all the Kimochi Stones and that she took Mitsune out of Kamihama tosave her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Iroha, Ui, and Felicia follow Tsuruno as she tracks Kanagi and Mitama&#039;s magic to Kamihama&#039;s city hall through the rooftops. They wonder where the emergency radio console would be located in such situations, as the original office had moved after area was damaged by Eve. Iroha suggests that more of Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls spread out and check with each ward, and they proceed to call the others to do so.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Mizuna, Tsukuyo has lost track of Tsukasa&#039;s magic, but Mifuyu suspects someone erased her trail on purpose, as the two of them together could resolve the situation in Kamihama. Iroha communicates telepathically with Iroha, who tells her that Kanagi and Mitama moved from Daito Ward to Chuo Ward and then onward, with their destination likely being the disaster warning radio location. She suggests checking all possible points in the vicinity. Tsukuyo deduces that since the two moved from Daito to Chuo and further west, they may have passed through Mizuna, and Mifuyu realizes the two may have erased Tsukasa&#039;s magic, and that Tsukasa could be at the radio location too. Tsukuyo checks and finds Kamihama City has a branch office in Mizuna Ward and they head there, sensing Kanagi and Mitama&#039;s magic, but finding something off about it. As they&#039;d be noticed if they tried to sneak in, they approach from the front to avoid provocation, where they&#039;re shocked by Kanagi and Mitama&#039;s changed forms. Kanagi notes their arrival and suggests moving somewhere private.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu states that their changed appearance proves their souls have greatly changed and that they have committed to total destruction. A fight ensues between the two groups and Mifuyu and Tsukuyo try to retreat. Kanagi and Mitama explain their goal to unite Kamihama&#039;s East and West by becoming a common enemy through the city&#039;s destruction, forcing the survivors to join hands. Mifuyu rejects this and tells Mitama that Mikage hasn&#039;t given up on uniting the East and West, but Mitama refuses to believe this. Mitama and Kanagi attack, but Momoko&#039;s appears and intervenes at the last second.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko approaches Kanagi and Mitama with understanding, and soon Mikage and the rest of Momoko&#039;s team approaches as well. Mikage explains through telepathy to Kanagi and Mitama that she wanted to prove they didn&#039;t have to fulfill their wish to destroy Kamihama, which is why she has been trying her best with &amp;quot;Operation Friendship.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In Daito, Momoko receives a telepathic message from Iroha and relays that the Neo-Magius&#039; plan is to use the loudspeakers at the Kamihama Civic Center. Rena and Kaede also note that they&#039;d notified other Magical Girls about Operation Friendship, and they also create a petition page titled &amp;quot;Student Conference for the Future of Kamihama City,&amp;quot; explaining the East-West problem, the pressure from older generations, and their goal to unite students from both sides.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While searching, Kaede notes the signature numbers for their petition are going up. Kanagi&#039;s younger brother approaches them, asking if his sister has anything to do with the current situation, as Kanagi&#039;s acted differently after he&#039;d gotten mugged by a group from the West and hospitalized. Momoko deduces this could be why Kanagi was shaken up, and Mikage promises to bring her back.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage notes info is getting around in the East and their next stop is the West. Mikage notices someone left a very long comment: a student from Mizuna confessing to having tried to push a transfer student from Daito down the stairs years ago out of jealousy. The commenter signs the petition, wanting to make a difference and never add to the number of unhappy people again. Rena senses a Witch, and they notices someone about to jump, possibly Witch-kissed. Mikage recognizes the person as the mayor and they save her from jumping. She wakes up and, seeing Mikage&#039;s Daito uniform, apologizes for the suffering caused by her. She doesn&#039;t understand why she didn&#039;t participate in the election fairly or why she tried to undermine the East, and until recently, she thought of the disaster as a chance to unite the city. She only realized something was wrong when she thought about helping citizens during the current crisis, and something cleared in her head. After speaking in emergency meetings, she realized she was hurting the people she was supposed to protect, so she decides to resign. Mikage asks her a favor: to join their petition to unite East and West and tell everyone she knows. The mayor agrees, stating she will hold a press conference on the situation, tender her resignation afterward, and tell people about the girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko contacts Yachiyo about this informing her that if they can&#039;t stop Ao&#039;s livestream by the end of the hour, she will show footage of Magical Girls hurting ordinary humans. Yachiyo confirms and Momoko then explains they saved the mayor, who will announce her resignation and talk about their petition at a press conference. She asks Yachiyo to bring it up on the live news program she&#039;s part of and she agrees to the request.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Momoko recounts the events to Kanagi and Mitama, who question if East and West can unite without them becoming villains. The two refuse to believe it and declare once again that they will keep going, but Mifuyu telepathically devises a plan with the others. She will use her illusion magic to show the press conference, Tsukuyo will amplify the audio with her ability, and Mikage will bring up the original program on her phone, so they must stall them until preparations are complete.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103102 yachiyo appearance.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* They keep fighting until Mikage gives them the signal, and they transmit the press conference live recording to them. Yachiyo&#039;s voice from the news program is heard, where she is saddened by the mayor&#039;s ties to extremist groups and resignation. She discusses the long-standing East-West divide, her pain at seeing it reopen after the election, and the difficulty of bridging the gap. She announces that Kamihama&#039;s students are trying to reconnect through the &amp;quot;Student Conference for the Future of Kamihama City&amp;quot; and their petition, which she has decided to join. She urges viewers to sign, stating she doesn&#039;t want to see any more friends cry over the East-West situation and would be happy if they could make a difference.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage tells Mitama that the future with their friends is still connected, and Kanagi&#039;s brother arrives with Iroha, Felicia, and Ui. He explains that Reira and others told him where Kanagi was, and he met Iroha&#039;s group on the way, and that others were on their way too. A girl steps forward and apologizes to Mitama for trying to push her down the stairs years ago out of jealousy, which led to Mitama&#039;s punishment and expulsion. She promises to live her life to the fullest to end the cycle of misery and asks to be allowed to help for the sake of all their futures. Kanagi&#039;s brother tells Kanagi he doesn&#039;t want to see her alone and that as much as she and Mitama have tried to change the East-West relationship, they&#039;ll do it together this time, so she shouldn&#039;t shoulder it alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103103 kanagi mitama settle.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi sighs and admits she may have been rather tactless, and Iroha references a video left behind by Ryo, who said she was jealous of Kanagi and Mitama because they would get to enjoy a fair and equal East, which is what she wanted when she joined the Wings of the Magius. Kanagi confirms this, realizing she was so focused on the grief of Kamihama as a whole that she forgot the feelings of those closest to her. She was on the verge of giving up but now understands she doesn&#039;t have to, so she will strive to build a future free of sorrow with the help of those around her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mitama expresses fear about her wish for destruction growing in power and potentially bringing ruin beyond Kamihama, maybe even causing the Mirror Witch threat. Mikage says it would be tough to destroy everything yourself, so it&#039;s better not to do something that will give her a hard time, and they can cross that bridge when they get to it. Momoko says if the time comes for everything to crash down, she&#039;ll join Mitama in the struggle. Mitama asks if Momoko would hold it against her if her wish killed her, and Momoko repeats they will fight side by side, and if it comes to that, they can die together with no hard feelings.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi addresses Iroha, stating she once found Iroha&#039;s idealism charming in its foolishness, perhaps because they are more alike than she thought. She went down the wrong path and implores Iroha to be careful not to make the same mistakes, to which Iroha says she&#039;ll try. Mitama tells Mikage to tell everyone to head for Sakae 1090, Himena&#039;s true location, which is also where the disaster warning radio is. Mitama explains the radio, the mail to media outlets, and Ao&#039;s livestream are all part of Himena&#039;s plan for her 1090 broadcast. The press is likely waiting nearby to verify the sent information.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kanagi says she and Mitama will hasten to destroy Himena&#039;s contraption themselves. Tsuruno suggests they tag along, but Mitama says they have other business and cannot walk shoulder to shoulder with them at the moment. Tsukuyo asks if they know where Tsukasa is, and Kanagi says Tsukasa ran off on her own. Mitama confirms she covered her tracks but only knows the direction, and Mifuyu says she and Tsukuyo will continue looking for Tsukasa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo receives the updates, hoping the program staff won&#039;t keep her too long due to her off-script comments. She then sees replies from Ria and Sayuki about a Dotuber collab event scheduled for meeting and delivery at the 1090. She realizes if the seeds Himena sowed included influencers, the story from Kanagi is even more plausible.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shigure and Hagumu, having tracked Mitsune&#039;s magic, find her at the Takarazaki Community Center. She reveals Himena brought her there and left to set up a trap, possibly taking her out of Kamihama so she wouldn&#039;t get caught. She thinks Himena didn&#039;t want Shigure and Hagumu dragged in either and she urges them to go stop Himena, but they ask her to explain the trap first.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Nayuta receives a text from Mikage saying her sister has come back, and Asahi reports the Tokime Clan is tending to Sana. Urara states she doesn&#039;t know what&#039;s going on with Promised Blood, and everything is still a mess. Tasuke mentions his brother is helping with IV drips with other medical facilities. Nayuta explains that Mitama had defected to the Neo-Magius until recently, but a ray of hope spurred her return. Lavi says Iroha is actively reaching for peace and could be one of their last vestiges of hope, but cannot say if she can stop Himena&#039;s disaster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexandra admits she still regrets being unable to stop Himena, knowing it&#039;s impossible, as Himena&#039;s Number One has always been Hiko. Lavi says it&#039;s best to put faith in others and Alexandra agrees to wait and see if anyone else can stop her. Alexandra confesses she can&#039;t let Himena go on like this and cannot give up on her. Tasuke says to let her go and do what she&#039;s comfortable with, as in this universe, one is free to choose whether to give up or not.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, Juri, Ranka and Hikaru arrive to Yukuni through a cold, high-speed freight train. Yuna receives a message that Iroha&#039;s side has made progress, but they worry about Ao&#039;s scheduled livestream on the 1090 broadcast, which could display her violence to the mass media. They lack clues on the faction&#039;s location, but Urara messages Yuna with map coordinates for the Eradication Faction&#039;s base and reveals its current leader is Urara&#039;s ex-partner, whom Urara wants saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team follows a mountain goat path near a hot spring and Yuna outlines their plan to use the borrowed Kimochi Stone of Fear to connect with Ao&#039;s soul. If the Kimochi is controlling her, they will defeat it and if her feelings are beyond repair, they will have to instill a new fear. Juri reveals their long-term plan is to retire after this, which confuses Hikaru.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside a mountain cabin, Ao is bored, waiting for the broadcast. She taunts the captured leader, Kurara, about the faction&#039;s persecution of Magical Girls like Alexandra. Kurara argues that Magical Girls hurt humans, but Ao counters that those who protect the public must defend themselves. She threatens Kurara to ensure good footage and Janomiya grunts express concern over Ao&#039;s worsening mental state.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna&#039;s team arrives and demands Ao release the faction. Ao eagerly attacks and a brief skirmish ensues, revealing Ao&#039;s reckless, berserker-like fighting style. The Janomiya grunts, deciding Ao has gone too far, betray her and untie Kurara. They reveal the other faction members are only knocked out, and tell Promised Blood to handle Ao.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna uses her Target Redirection to exploit Ao&#039;s openings, Ranka restrains her, and Yuna and Juri to use the Kimochi Stone of Fear. Hikaru insists on joining them and the three are pulled into Ao&#039;s mind space, leaving Ranka behind. Juri explains they were prepared for a suicide mission to save Ao, feeling responsible for her state. Hikaru protests, refusing to let Yuna die. Inside the soul space, they confirm the Kimochi is corroding Ao, and even after they defeat the Kimochi manifestation, Ao&#039;s personality remains unchanged. Yuna proposes a new plan to trace the memories in Ao&#039;s soul back to her birth to find and protect the moment her heart first experienced fear, preventing the Kimochi from eroding it. This would mean subjectively reliving 14 years of Ao&#039;s life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103104 baby ao.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1947.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* To this, Ao, bored and seeing it as a condition for their promised fight, agrees and sends Yuna, Juri, Hikaru and herself into her past with the power of the Kimochi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The trio finds themselves in Ao&#039;s childhood home. Yuna and Juri take on the roles of her moms, while Hikaru appears as a neighborhood sister figure. They raise infant Ao, constantly fending off manifestations of the Kimochi that appear whenever she feels fear. The exhausting task strains them, especially Yuna, who handles most childcare. They try to be overprotective to prevent fear, but this backfires, making Ao socially withdrawn and timid.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Ao grows, the Kimochi adapts, trying to eliminate her fears by removing her guilt, leading her to shoplift and pick fights. The trio continues to battle these manifestations. Hikaru, trying to help, gives a teenage Ao a game console as a stress reliever. Ao becomes engrossed in gaming, developing a sharper tongue but also finding a way to interact with others online. Yuna notes this is an improvement over her reclusive phase.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Somehow, likely due to her unique magic, [[Mitsuru Inami]] ends up involved within the dream world, not remembering her real life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;|Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be &amp;quot;Normal&amp;quot;]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ten years after Ao&#039;s rebirth, with Yuna, Juri, and Hikaru&#039;s duties leaving household chores piling up, they hire a housekeeper, which is the role of Mitsuru Inami in this world, a nervous woman who formally introduces herself to the family. Over the following weeks, the family discovers Mitsuru has an uncanny ability to appear unnoticed behind people, catching Juri eating secret snacks, Hikaru viewing her photo collection, and Ao playing games instead of doing homework.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The family meets Mitsuru away from the house to discuss their concerns. When a Witch&#039;s Barrier appears, Mitsuru panics but eventually reveals she is a thirty-one-year-old Magical Girl with an unconscious ability that deflects attacks. Her mother raised her to never stand out, making minimizing her presence second nature. Yuna realizes Mitsuru was the Ghost Magical Girl from their Futatsugi City days, whose deflected attacks unknowingly caused chaos during past conflicts. That night, Yuna decides to terminate Mitsuru&#039;s contract for Ao&#039;s safety. When Yuna calls the dispatch agency, Mitsuru reveals the company only employs her and states she will continue coming regardless. The following days, Mitsuru continues entering the house daily without a key, cleaning and preparing meals while security cameras show nothing. The family grows increasingly unsettled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Late one night, Yuna wakes and senses Mitsuru in the room with them. She confronts her, and Mitsuru begs to stay, explaining she finally feels normal living among fellow Magical Girls. Suddenly, Witch&#039;s Barrier envelops them and Mitsuru&#039;s deflection causes the Witch&#039;s attacks to hit the others while Juri and Hikaru struggle to protect Ao. Yuna realizes Mitsuru&#039;s absolute defense will fail when her magic runs out. She argues that Mitsuru cannot live normally without fighting Witches. Remembering Ao&#039;s words about helping others, Mitsuru fights back for the first time and defeats the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the battle, Mitsuru apologizes and says she will re-evaluate her way of living while hoping to continue housekeeping occasionally. Yuna agrees, noting she could become a powerful ally. Later, Ao complains about homework and says she misses Mitsuru&#039;s cooking. Hikaru distracts her with snacks found in the cupboard.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;normal&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Ao becomes a Magical Girl and Yuna and Juri deduce the final enemy, the manifestation of what Ao fears most, is about to appear: their own younger selves from the time they tried to eliminate Magical Girls in Futatsugi. They ask Hikaru to keep teenage Ao occupied while they confront their past selves on the battlefield. An intense battle ensues between the present-day Yuna, Juri and their younger, more powerful counterparts. The older pair wins but is left utterly drained of magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The core manifestation of Ao&#039;s fear appears and exhausted, Yuna and Juri prepare to sacrifice their lives in a final stand. Ao and Hikaru arrive and Ao reveals she sensed their magic and realized they had been protecting her all along. She refuses to let them die, declaring that losing them is her greatest fear. Fueled by rage at their self-sacrifice, she resonates with the Kimochi Stone of Rage again. Ao and Hikaru take over the fight, defeating the final enemy and protecting her own heart.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group returns to reality, physically and magically exhausted. Ao is confused but deeply affected, now understanding the fear of losing her family. She addresses Yuna and Juri as &amp;quot;Mom&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Mama&amp;quot; before correcting herself, and Ranka, who had been guarding their bodies, is relieved and furious. The Janomiya grunts help support them and Ranka updates the four girls that Ao&#039;s livestream was canceled, and Kamihama&#039;s disaster radio was stopped. However, Himena&#039;s main broadcast on the 1090 electronic billboards is about to begin, with press in attendance. The team is in no condition to move and Ao receives a mass message from Himena with &amp;quot;final instructions&amp;quot;: all Neo-Magius members must leave Kamihama immediately. The broadcast is in one and a half hours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* At a mountain lookout, Asahi, Urara, Lavi, Tasuke, and Nayuta discuss the impending battle and Urara relays messages from Promised Blood indicating the Neo-Magius is heavily outnumbered. Lavi suggests the situation might be deliberately engineered and Tasuke states this will be their final judgment on whether Magical Girls can be saved. Nayuta declares her intent to chase after her friends, like Mikage, to protect them, following Alexandra&#039;s example. She encourages Lavi to follow her true feelings too and Tasuke gives Lavi permission to act as she wishes, stating their role is only to observe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* While Alexandra runs through Kamihama, she recalls a phone call with Himena in which Himena claimed she acted on Alexandra&#039;s behalf to get revenge on those who tormented her. Alexandra protested, saying she didn&#039;t want extreme revenge and couldn&#039;t believe Himena was going through with her plan. Himena blamed Alexandra for leaving and she explained she left because she knew Himena would never listen as long as Hiko was her priority, hoping her disappearance might make Himena stop. Himena apologized, stated it was too late, and told Alexandra to leave Kamihama. Back in the present, Alexandra regrets not confronting Himena as a friend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In a city plaza, Iroha coordinates the search for Himena, who is believed to be in Sakae Ward. Tsuruno speculates Himena will appear in person at the 1090 area to bolster credibility. Hinano reports most Witches are defeated and offers to distribute the collected Grief Seeds. Felicia also relays that the entire Tokime Clan is coming to assist. Iroha is relieved but notes Sana is still injured and being cared for by Livia at the Coordinator&#039;s. Iroha&#039;s group observes TV crews and speculates people are waiting for news about Kamihama. Through telepathy, Mifuyu reports no leads on Himena or Tsukasa and widens the search from Chuo to Sakae Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In a ruined street, Shizuka, Chiharu, Chika, and Ryouko arrive at a restricted zone near Puella Care where Chika detects several Magical Girls. Shizuka confirms it&#039;s neutral territory, but with Puella Care absent, it&#039;s ripe for trouble. They are surrounded by Neo-Magius Feathers who chose to stay and fight despite retreat orders. Chiharu chastises them for staining their hands with evil. The Feathers attack, but Shizuka reveals getting caught was their intention to defeat the pawns and clear the path to Himena.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On their own, Tsukuyo and Mifuyu find nothing and a message reveals Momoko&#039;s group also found nothing in abandoned buildings. Tsukuyo suggests finding San for information and Mifuyu, recalling her combat style which preferred wide-open spaces for her gatling guns, deduces she would be at Sakae General School, close to the 1090 area. Mifuyu asks Tsukuyo to continue searching for Tsukasa alone while she teams up with Iroha to confront San.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Sakae School, Iroha&#039;s group is ambushed by San, Miyuri, and Feathers. San admits they planned to ambush the Union but were found first. A fierce battle ensues where San declares they will fight for their own happiness. In the battle, Mifuyu demonstrates significantly improved combat skills, dodging San&#039;s shots, and Felicia and Tsuruno launch a combined attack on her too, yet she remains unharmed. Mifuyu orders them to retreat and San challenges Mifuyu to a one-on-one fight. Mifuyu states she will attack from the inside using illusions, forcing San to face the dreadful problems she knows about as her former superior. Mifuyu&#039;s illusion forces San to relive key memories where she sees the beautiful, jewel-like flames of the Hikarizuka Fire Festival that formed her identity. She feels deep nostalgia and love for Hikarizuka&#039;s everyday life and people, but then the scene shifts to the Chairman and Tatsu destroying a portable shrine, telling her she can&#039;t stay and must move on, that the Fire Festival is over. San desperately resists, declaring Hikarizuka her home and vowing to keep the festival alive. The illusion shows the portable shrine burning, which San finds beautiful. She realizes the God of the fire burns the present to prepare for the future and understands that to truly believe in the Fire Festival, she must move on and not fight reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Back at the school, San awakens and Miyuri is frantic. Mifuyu explains she showed San an illusion to help her step into the future by overcoming loss and the stagnation caused by clinging to the past. San acknowledges that everyone else moving on isn&#039;t abandonment but the start of a new path, and that the people of Hikarizuka care for her and want her to change with them. Mifuyu tells Miyuri there is more to love than devotion and obedience. Felicia and Tsuruno prepare to force information from San and Iroha pleads for Himena&#039;s location. San refuses, wanting to honor Himena wishes, however a White Feather reveals that Himena is in an abandoned museum. San is angered, but the Feather says they&#039;ve done enough. Iroha decides to investigate despite the risk of a trap and Ui also agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Elsewhere, Shigure and Hagumu rush, discussing Himena&#039;s strange &amp;quot;get out of Kamihama&amp;quot; message. They suspect she imbued something with falsification magic and worry she might do something to Magical Girls to turn the tables.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside a hospital, Tsukasa reflects on why she came there, as it was a place important to her and Tsukuyo as twins. Kanagi and Mitama find her and they reveal they have cut ties with the Neo-Magius after being shown hope. They show her a &amp;quot;Student Conference for the Future of Kamihama City&amp;quot; petition with growing signatures, proving young people are speaking out to change East-West relations. They also reveal the mayor&#039;s election manipulation was a Neo-Magius ploy by Himena. They urge her to rethink her choices and mention that Mifuyu and Tsukuyo are looking for her to break the suggestion. They apologize for misleading her and leave to take responsibility for their actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Mizuna Shrine, Tsukuyo searches for Tsukasa. She finds Take, from the Amane Bamboo Studio, collapsed, mistaking her for Tsukasa. He says her father knows they meet there and begs to go home, mentioning he couldn&#039;t eat his favorite food. Tsukuyo realizes he is dehydrated, and recalling the hospital where she and Tsukasa confirmed they were twins, deduces Tsukasa will be there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside the hospital, Tsukuyo finds Tsukasa. She explains she found her due to Take&#039;s collapse and her memory of the hospital. Tsukasa is remorseful, realizing her actions nearly killed Take and would have devastated her father. Tsukuyo understands Tsukasa acted for their future together but states while the past cannot change, they can act now. She asks Tsukasa to join her and Mifuyu to dispel the suggestion and Tsukasa agrees, aiming to broadcast the counter-magic across Japan via the 1090 signal. A message arrives revealing Himena&#039;s hiding place is the abandoned museum in Sakae Ward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile on her own, Kagome runs through the city and senses everyone&#039;s reactions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the city plaza, Iroha&#039;s group detects Himena&#039;s signature in the abandoned Memory Museum. They are joined by Yachiyo, who returns from her TV appearance and the group enters the museum. Inside, they confront Himena and Iroha argues against ruling over humans, believing people can understand without force. Himena laughs, calling humans shallow and untrustworthy, comparing them to Kyubey. She states she will become a god to force acknowledgment. Iroha mentions they have stopped Kanagi, Mitama, and Ao, but Himena says she already heard. Iroha pleads to work together to find a new way for Himena&#039;s salvation, but Himena rejects it again, wanting to be saved immediately and tired of denial.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103105 himena witch.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Himena fights alone against the group. She uses synthesized magic: first Felicia&#039;s &amp;quot;Oblivion&amp;quot; to make Yachiyo forget, then Tsuruno&#039;s &amp;quot;Good Luck&amp;quot; to try and send Mifuyu into a nightmare hallucination, which is then blocked by Yachiyo. She reveals she has been harvesting magic from their attacks using Ui&#039;s &amp;quot;Harvesting&amp;quot; power. However, she suddenly coughs and collapses, her Soul Gem cloudy from overuse. The group realizes combining abilities drains Himena&#039;s magic excessively. Himena admits she made a miscalculation with Ui&#039;s magic and she reveals her plan to steal all eight Kimochi Stones and the Automatic Purification System. She then discloses her trap was devices rigged to Kamihama&#039;s power grid to command all Magical Girls to break their own Soul Gems.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In an alleyway, Kanagi, Mitama, and Puella Care are destroying one of Himena&#039;s remote control devices. Livia explains they detected Himena&#039;s intentions during a coordination and has been monitoring the trap. They prioritized stopping it over chasing Kanagi and Mitama. The group recovers and Yozuru and Sudachi perform adjustments to help them recover.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Back in the museum, Himena&#039;s trap fails and Felicia and Tsuruno attack to destroy Himena&#039;s phone, but she protects it. Suddenly, Shigure, Hagumu, San, and Miyuri appear, compelled to protect Himena despite her orders to leave. They express that though they cannot condone her methods, they don&#039;t want her to lose as they know her kind side. San states she likes Himena more than she thought and Shigure and Hagumu admit they might like her too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Union is reinforced by Sana, Shizuka, Momoko, and others. Miyuri admits defeat and San advises Himena to give up, suggesting they try a gentler approach next time. Himena angrily rejects this, stating they have become stronger and found hope, while she faces constant denial of Hiko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Himena&#039;s magic is nearly depleted and San and Miyuri beg her to stop before she becomes a Witch. Himena apologizes to Hiko, stating she can&#039;t use her final ace because the Neo-Magius is still in Kamihama. Shigure and Hagumu try to stop her and Iroha offers a Grief Seed, pleading for her to choose life and find another way. Himena refuses, saying she&#039;s sick of waiting and living in denial is hell. She acknowledges Iroha&#039;s ideal of everyone getting along is sweet but not for her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Himena calls out to Kyubey, revealing he had been observing them. She accuses him of promising to let her Doppel out in exchange for causing a fuss. Kyubey denies an alliance, stating he only wanted to use her as a test subject to compare Witch and Doppel energy output and Himena realizes she&#039;s been used. She tells Iroha the Lil&#039; Kyubey is locked in the Civic Center and can serve as a hub for the Kimochi and Purification System instead of Ui. She asks Iroha to take care of Shigure and the others, stating she wants to support them even in death. As she reaches her limit, Kyubey notes she will be a good sample for the universe. Himena bids farewell to her friends and prepares to join Hiko.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As everyone screams for Himena, Alexandra appears and purifies her Soul Gem with a Grief Seed. Himena is confused, thinking she must keep fighting. Alexandra states she purified her to keep her alive, scolding herself for running away instead of confronting Himena as a friend. She vows to stay by Himena&#039;s side, scold her, heal her, and stop her if she goes too far, because she is her best friend. Himena admits she couldn&#039;t press the kill switch because the Neo-Magius was still there, and she was overjoyed when Alexandra appeared. She agrees to stop but warns she might lose control again, but Alexandra and San promise to support her. Himena apologizes to Kyubey for not becoming a Witch, yet Kyubey is indifferent, having obtained the Automatic Purification System.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mifuyu senses Tsukuyo and Tsukasa approaching, and Mikage arrives with them, all frantic as there are only five minutes left. Himena interrupts, proposing a more effective way to break the suggestion by synthesizing magic. She combines Felicia&#039;s &amp;quot;Oblivion&amp;quot; and Mifuyu&#039;s &amp;quot;Hallucination&amp;quot; and infuses it into the Amane sisters&#039; flutes. Lavi and Nayuta arrive as well and Lavi uses her &amp;quot;Concept Strengthening&amp;quot; to boost the flute&#039;s power, aiming to make the press let the incident fade into obscurity. With seconds left, the Amane sisters play their enhanced flutes as the sun rises.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sixth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome recounts how the flute&#039;s sound enveloped Kamihama, making the events feel like a daydream. People forgot the details, but data proving the anomalies remained, creating many unanswered questions. Contrary to Himena&#039;s plan, the words &amp;quot;Magical Girl&amp;quot; were never uttered, and the Magical Girls, now in possession of all Kimochi Stones and knowledge to reclaim the Automatic Purification System, kept the truth secret. Kagome is scheduled to meet Tasuke again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the park, Himena internally apologizes to Hiko but decides to keep living for her friends. Shigure, Hagumu, San, and Miyuri discuss their next steps involve cleaning up the Community Center. San will move forward with the Youth Association to eventually revive the Fire Festival as an adult and Alexandra suggests Himena buy a new phone, as she threw the dangerous one away. Himena also decides to wait until her mother is less angry.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At an arcade, Juri, Ranka, Ao, and Yuna share embarrassing stories from their time in Ao&#039;s soul space. Yuna gives Juri an envelope from Yachiyo, which contains a bill for a smashed window.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Crescent House, the girls return home, and Yachiyo confirms repairs are done and utilities are restored. She gave the invoice to Yuna for Juri. Tsuruno also arrives celebrating Banbanzai&#039;s reopening and her father&#039;s health. Iroha notes most families are safe. Felicia asks about Kanagi and Mitama, but Yachiyo states they are still missing, along with the Kimochi Stone of Grief, hindering the collection of all eight stones.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Puella Care&#039;s trailer, Livia complains about Yozuru&#039;s rough adjustments after being injured stopping Himena&#039;s trap, and they were unable to chase Kanagi and Mitama due to Livia&#039;s condition. Livia states they must find them themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Folklore&#039;s base, Kagome speaks with Tasuke, Lavi, Asahi, and Urara. Tasuke states the events in Kamihama were an indicator to test the universe&#039;s will. The minimal damage compared to Yukuni offers hope that past tragedies weren&#039;t inevitable. He notes Alexandra now sees a future with the Neo-Magius and declares he will resume trying to save Magical Girls, writing a second volume of his book with Nayuta&#039;s help, and also invites Kagome to assist. However, Tasuke feels an uneasy premonition, warning they cannot relax as their invisible enemy will strike when they forget.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Outside the hospital during the day, Kyubey approaches Kagome, sensing her wish is taking shape and offers to grant it. Kagome refuses for now, stating she will wish only when it can make Magical Girls smile, and keeps the nature of that wish a secret from Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On her own, Karin enters the Endless Mirrors to find Alina.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc10&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Seventh Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome, having witnessed the failure of the Neo-Magius&#039; plan and Himena&#039;s surrender, notes that all the Kimochi Stones are now gathered and the method to reclaim the Automatic Purification System is known. With the Magical Girls united and a period of quiet, she decides to conduct interviews to record their thoughts.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac11&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 11: Reportage of Intersections|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 11: Reportage of Intersections]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Her first interview is with Promised Blood. Yuna explains that the members have returned to Futatsugi City but she frequently visits Kamihama to interact with other Magical Girls. She expresses a new desire to create a &amp;quot;brighter future,&amp;quot; a resolve strengthened by the strange, 14-year mental journey she, Juri, Hikaru, and Ao shared to save Ao. Yuna identifies this as a &amp;quot;sign&amp;quot; of change, evidenced by Juri&#039;s magic no longer running amok from stress. The interview is cut short when Juri arrives to inform Yuna that some Promised Blood members still target Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls, confirming that not all conflicts are resolved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome next interviews the Tokime Clan and finds them conducting &amp;quot;social studies&amp;quot; at the 1090 building in Sakae Ward. Shizuka explains that to protect Japan and their wishes, the clan must understand the modern world to foresee the future. The interview quickly reverses as the clan members, overwhelmed by modern terms like &amp;quot;influencer&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;synergy,&amp;quot; appoint Kagome as their teacher and bombard her with questions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome then interviews Puella Care. Livia is exhausted from the increased workload with Mitama&#039;s absence. She notes the atmosphere between herself, Sudachi, and Yozuru has changed since they learned she lied about her past. Despite this, they remain with her. Livia states she will formally tell them the truth when the time is right. The interview then reverses, with Livia questioning Kagome about the Uwasa of the Wind Evangelist.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Finally, Kagome interviews the Neo-Magius through Hagumu and Shigure. They reveal the faction was on the verge of disbandment after Himena&#039;s actions. However, Himena passionately persuaded the Feathers to stay, promising a softer approach to Magical Girl supremacy through analog methods like flyers, while maintaining their independence. Hagumu and Shigure speculate Himena&#039;s motive is efficiency, as the faction provides access to the Automatic Purification System.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* After these interviews, all major factions receive a message from Lavi, summoning them to a presentation at the Kamihama Aquarium hosted by the Folklore of Zero.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Eighth Day:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103204 abandon smartphone4.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Himena, believing her role in the conflict is over, goes to the harbor and throws her phone—which contained the backup for her nightmare-inducing device—into the sea. Unbeknownst to her, Mikoto Sena, using the powers of the Endless Mirrors, retrieves the phone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 11: The End of the Cycle of Joy and Sorrow|Arc 2, Chapter 11: The End of the Cycle of Joy and Sorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After the failure of Neo Magius&#039; plan, Kagome, moved by the peaceful time achieved by the united Magical Girls, decides to conduct interviews to preserve a record of their experiences and feelings. She visits the leaders of the major factions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome interviews Yuna Kureha of Promised Blood in a park. Yuna explains that most of her group returned to Futatsugi City but regularly visits Kamihama to interact with other Magical Girls. She reveals that some Promised Blood members still hold grudges against Kamihama Magical Girls, and she must go to persuade them. Before leaving, Yuna notes a significant change: Juri&#039;s magic, which was once unstable due to stress, has completely stopped its violent rampages. Yuna suggests this is a &amp;quot;sign&amp;quot; that they too can change.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome next attempts to interview the Tokime Clan in Sakae Ward. She finds Shizuka and her clan members conducting &amp;quot;social studies&amp;quot; to better understand the modern world and fulfill their mission to protect the Land of the Rising Sun. The session turns into an impromptu lesson where Kagome is pressured into answering the clan&#039;s questions about modern terminology like &amp;quot;influencer&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;synergy.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome then interviews Livia of Puella Care at their busy caravan. Livia explains that their services have become extremely popular, partly due to a Magical Girl&#039;s promotion. She notes a changed atmosphere between herself, Sudachi, and Yozuru, stemming from the two discovering Livia had concealed parts of her past. Livia states she will clarify things with them when the time is right. The interview reverses, and Livia questions Kagome about the origins of the &amp;quot;Rumor of the Wind Evangelist,&amp;quot; which Kagome reluctantly explains.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Finally, Kagome interviews Hagumu and Shigure of Neo-Magius. They reveal the organization was on the verge of dissolution after Himena&#039;s plan to kill non-allied Magical Girls was exposed, however, Himena passionately persuaded the members to stay, promising a softer, more analog approach to promoting Magical Girl supremacy. Hagumu and Shigure speculate Himena&#039;s motive was to maintain a usable asset, but they acknowledge it felt true to her character.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Immediately after the interviews, a message from Lavi summons the leaders of all major groups to the Kamihama Aquarium for a briefing on the Folklore of Zero and Yukuni City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2ac11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha expresses doubt about her ability to protect everyone&#039;s feelings, especially with Touka and Nemu still in a coma. A reminder from Lavi announces a presentation by the Folklore of Zero group at the Kamihama Aquarium.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Kagome encounter Kyubey and Iroha demands the return of the Automatic Purification System. Kyubey refuses, stating that as long as Magical Girls reject becoming Witches, no compromise exists. Kagome expresses her desire to reveal the existence of Magical Girls to the public, believing it will lead to a kinder world, but Kyubey warns this could trigger a catastrophic reaction from the &amp;quot;Will of the Universe&amp;quot; theory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, at the Folklore of Zero meeting, the groups of Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, and the Neo-Magius are also present. Tasuke and the members of Folklore of Zero express their renewed hope after witnessing the peaceful resolution of conflicts in Kamihama. Tasuke apologizes for his previous belief that the only salvation for Magical Girls was erasure before they fell to despair. He requests that the Kamihama Magia Union accept his team, and the Union formally welcomes them as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia arrives and informs the group that Mitama and Kanagi are still missing. However, Sudachi has located them using the other Kimochi Stones, narrowing down their location to a particular beach. Livia, Yozuru, and Sudachi prepare to retrieve them, stating they require &amp;quot;darkness&amp;quot; for this mission and ask the others to stay behind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Iroha, Ui, and Mifuyu visit the comatose Touka and Nemu in the Satomi Medical Center. Their physical bodies are fully healed, but their minds remain unresponsive. They encounter Tasuke, who is being hospitalized for a medical examination at his brother&#039;s insistence, which makes Nayuta distress. Mifuyu also reveals that Karin has gone missing inside the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth, and search efforts have so far failed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the beach, Livia, Yozuru, and Sudachi find Mitama and Kanagi. The two Magical Girls are on the verge of becoming Witches, their souls entangled with grief after forcibly fusing it into themselves to resist the Kimochi Stone&#039;s control. They believe their return would only cause others pain, and Livia&#039;s team begins a dangerous Coordination procedure to save them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They first transmit the positive feelings and acceptance collected from the Magical Girls of Kamihama, which provides temporary relief. For a permanent cure, Livia decides they must contextualize Mitama and Kanagi&#039;s grief by showing them greater suffering. Livia begins to project her own traumatic past into their minds: her father&#039;s death, her abuse in an orphanage, her life as a runaway, her capture by human traffickers, and her eventual contract with Kyubey, where she wished to &amp;quot;become evil itself.&amp;quot; The process shows signs of working, as the roots of grief binding Mitama and Kanagi begin to loosen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia concludes the projection of her memories to Mitama and Kanagi. She recounts her life after her wish: her return to society, her struggle with a personal magic that passively brings misfortune to those she helps, and the tragic death of her social worker, at her own wedding. This final catastrophe leads Livia to a revelation from Kyubey that Magical Girls exist to generate energy to sustain the universe. She decides to live solely for this purpose, believing it will redirect the misfortune caused by her magic toward Kyubey and the universe itself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Witnessing Livia&#039;s immense suffering provides Mitama and Kanagi with the perspective needed to contextualize their own grief. They resolve to &amp;quot;devour&amp;quot; their sorrows and use them as nourishment to move forward. This act of acceptance causes the Kimochi of Grief to manifest. Livia&#039;s team helps them subdue it. Mitama and Kanagi, now freed from their despair, return to Kamihama with the final Kimochi Stone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha Tamaki meets with the leaders of the other factions—the Kamihama Magia Union, Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, Folklore of Zero, and the Neo-Magius—to discuss the future. They all express a shared desire for a peaceful future without internal conflict. The arrival of Mitama and Kanagi with their Kimochi now completes the set of eight Kimochi Stones.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103302 leader field in.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* All the factions gather at the neutral zone in Chuo Ward. Iroha and Ui, with the support of all the leaders, communicate their resolve to the assembled Kimochi, promising a gentle future and gaining their trust one by one. The Kimochi Stones empower Iroha and Ui to locate and enter the realm of the Automatic Purification System.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside the Automatic Purification System, Iroha, Ui, the faction leaders, and Kagome enter the system&#039;s Labyrinth. They find it appears as a transparent version of the real world. Their goal is to reach the core and reconnect it to Iroha, Ui, and Lil&#039; Kyubey to reclaim it from Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* However, Kyubey reveals this was his plan all along. He&#039;d allowed them to enter with the Kimochi Stones so he could fuse with the system&#039;s concept while Iroha controls the Kimochi&#039;s energy, granting him total control over both the system and the power of the Witch Eve. He seizes Iroha and Lil&#039; Kyubey in Isolation Fields, rendering them unconscious.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The faction leaders fight off Oscar Familiars generated by Kyubey while Ui senses that Iroha and the Kimochi have not given up. Iroha breaks free from Kyubey&#039;s control with the Kimochi&#039;s help, and despite Kyubey&#039;s warning that becoming the core could destroy her ego, Iroha, encouraged by the others, attempts to fuse with the core.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Endless Mirrors, Mikoto speaks to Alina, stating a cynical view that no one can be saved and that hope inevitably ends in despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin ventures deeper into the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth to find Alina, finding it unnaturally empty. A copy of Kaede appears and informs Karin that the ruler of the Labyrinth has been waiting for her. The copy presents Karin with a choice to either return to her friends or proceed to meet Alina and Mikoto Sena.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin chooses to find Alina and is taken to her, finding that she has allied with the spirit of Mikoto Sena. Alina reveals she has abandoned Karin&#039;s &amp;quot;Reformation Project&amp;quot; in favor of Mikoto&#039;s &amp;quot;Evolution Project,&amp;quot; which aligns with her belief that humanity unconsciously desires destruction. Mikoto proposes a challenge: if Karin journeys with them through history and still believes in hope, she will return Alina. Karin agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103203 andes puella.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikoto uses the mirrors to show Karin scenes from human history, each depicting cycles of destruction arising from malice, misguided goodwill, and systemic rejection, such as genocide, ritual sacrifice, religious wars, and gender-based conflict. She argues this proves hope inevitably turns to despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikoto then shows a story from Kamihama&#039;s own past: the tale of the Battle Shamanesses, Tsuyu Mizuna of the West and Chizuru of the East. Initially, their alliance brings peace and hope, uniting the East and West, however, the distrust and ambition of their fathers shatter this peace. A supposed peace conference is a trap, leading to betrayal and battle, and in the ensuing chaos, Chizuru&#039;s father has Tsuyu&#039;s father killed. When Tsuyu and Chizuru attempt to stop the fighting with a display of combined power, a hidden gunman working for Chizuru&#039;s father mortally wounds Tsuyu. Consumed by grief and betrayal, Tsuyu becomes a Witch cursing the East, cementing a cycle of hatred that would plague Kamihama for centuries. Mikoto presents this as a local example of hope yielding to despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Faced with this evidence, Karin counters that humanity is not purely destructive. She argues that the existence of hopeful stories in media and the current reunification of East and West in modern Kamihama prove that despair can also turn to hope. She asserts that human nature is a messy &amp;quot;gray,&amp;quot; not destined for a single outcome. Alina finds this perspective amusing and novel.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikoto, motivated by her personal grudge, is not convinced. She declares the current situation in Kamihama—specifically, Iroha&#039;s attempt to reclaim the Automatic Purification System—will serve as the ultimate experiment to determine whether hope ends in despair or despair ends in hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the Satomi Medical Center, Tasuke undergoes a medical examination at his brother&#039;s insistence. Tasuke confirms that the circumstances for Magical Girls are at a critical juncture, with the potential for them to be released from their destiny of becoming Witches. He reaffirms his intent to publish the truth about Magical Girls in his book, believing it is necessary for humanity to become kinder, and his brother now offers his support too.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Within the Automatic Purification System&#039;s Labyrinth, Iroha&#039;s group witnesses all the Magical Girls outside the Labyrinth collapse simultaneously into unconscious, pained states, on the verge of becoming Witches. Kyubey also confirms the scene is real and not an illusion. Himena recognizes the phenomenon as identical to the nightmare-inducing trap she created but insists she had destroyed the device.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group deduces that the only way to save the Magical Girls in time is to reclaim the Automatic Purification System so they can summon Doppels instead of becoming Witches. However, Kyubey reveals he has hidden the system&#039;s core, forcing them to choose between searching for it or attempting to aid the dying Magical Girls directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha attempts to use her connection to Ui, the Kimochi, and Lil&#039; Kyubey to locate the core, but the Kimochi reject her. The Kimochi Stones transfer to Lavi, whose feelings of resignation and despair now align with theirs. Believing that any attempt to reveal Magical Girls to the world will be met with catastrophic retaliation from the universe, Lavi gains a new form and declares her new goal: to seize the Automatic Purification System and peacefully &amp;quot;save&amp;quot; all Magical Girls by euthanizing them before they can experience despair.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A battle ensues between Lavi, empowered by all eight Kimochi, and the faction leaders. Yuna, Shizuka, and Himena are swiftly defeated but succeed in protecting Iroha, Ui, and Lil&#039; Kyubey. Iroha heals the leaders, and they resolve to face Lavi together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* They catch up to Lavi in the Hokuyo Ward area of the Labyrinth. After another failed direct assault, Himena uses her personal magic to synthesize the magic from the unconscious girls to momentarily incapacitate Lavi. She uses:&lt;br /&gt;
** Nayuta&#039;s magic, to make Lavi lose the will to fight.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage&#039;s Physical Collapse magic to make her body falter.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alexandra&#039;s relaxation magic to calm her down.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, and Lil&#039; Kyubey use this opening to physically connect with her, entering a state of shared consciousness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside Lavi&#039;s heart, Iroha challenges her resignation, arguing that those who have truly given up do not fight like she is. She asserts that Lavi&#039;s desire to &amp;quot;save&amp;quot; Magical Girls through euthanasia proves she still holds a fragment of hope. Confronted with this and memories of her friends, Lavi admits she does not want to give up. This emotional shift causes the Kimochi to violently rebel against her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103304 connect iroha lavi.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Lavi offers Iroha the Kimochi, challenging her to subdue them with her feelings as a final test of whether hope can prevail. Iroha, with Ui and Lil&#039; Kyubey&#039;s support, accepts the Kimochi. She endures their torment and convinces them that Magical Girls are not yet defeated. The Kimochi cease their resistance and fully synchronize with Iroha. The connection ends, and the Kimochi Stones return to Iroha&#039;s bracelet.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and the others are then immersed in a dream world where Ui, Touka and Nemu are alive, but none of their friends became Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Stardust Mirage|Stardust Mirage]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Ui begin their new life at Mikazuki Villa after their parents move overseas. On her first day of school, Iroha sits next to Rena Minami, and they discuss the meaning of true happiness. After a tentative start, Rena walks Iroha home with Kaede joining them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** That evening, Iroha asks the Villa residents about happiness. Yachiyo values her shelter work, Sana is grateful for her found family, and Ui is simply happy to be healthy. Iroha realizes she has time to find her own answer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A few weeks later, Iroha now walks to school daily with Rena and Kaede. While running an errand, they comfort Momoko, whose accidental confession led to a relationship. They celebrate at a maid cafe, where Iroha meets Ryo, a photographer who captures smiles. She sees many forms of happiness in the cafe&#039;s workers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** That evening, Iroha finds a lost girl named Shizuka and brings her to the Villa. That night, two runaways arrive: Nayuta, escaping her parents&#039; dysfunctional marriage, and Yuna, the mayor&#039;s overlooked daughter. After sharing their feelings, Nayuta reconciles with her arriving parents, and Yuna decides to confront her father directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next morning, the runaways depart. Later at school, rumors spread about a girl who fell from her building. Iroha visits Touka and Nemu at the hospital, where she learns the victim was a girl named Reira.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** That evening, Iroha calls her parents overseas, filled with gratitude. She resolves to cherish everything.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The following months, inspired by Ryo, Iroha begins photographing everyone&#039;s smiles. As troubled girls visit Mikazuki Villa, she becomes more counselor than shelter worker, meeting many people and documenting both joys and sorrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha and Yachiyo investigate a rumor at Suitoku Temple. They meet Ryoko, the temple&#039;s protector, Sakuya, a runner with a suspended team, and Manaka, who has prayed for one hundred days for her family&#039;s failing restaurant, Walnut&#039;s. Iroha suggests they all eat there.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha organizes a party at Walnut&#039;s to thank everyone who has helped her while promoting the restaurant. Many friends gather, share good news, and Iroha takes a group photo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Days after the party, Touka and Nemu&#039;s conditions worsen before stabilizing, reminding Iroha of life&#039;s fragility. Walking home, she witnesses the same girl who bumped into her earlier fall to her death—Ren Isuzu, a bullying victim. Iroha is traumatized.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next day, unable to rest, Iroha visits Mizuna Shrine and meets Himena, who jokes about wishing for world peace. Iroha breaks down. Himena reveals her boyfriend was bullied to death and hints at something unforgivable, but tells Iroha to look forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Several days later, Himena exposes her boyfriend&#039;s bullies online, then announces her suicide. In a video to Iroha, she explains her choice and asks Iroha to create the happy future she envisions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha throws herself into volunteer work. One day, she encounters a feral girl named Felicia who snaps at her, then runs into traffic. Iroha pushes her to safety but is hit by a truck.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Iroha should be dead, but she is a Magical Girl. Through the Kimochi, she connects with the collective thoughts of Magical Girls, seeing the peaceful world they all long for, the world where they never made their contracts. Voices pour in: Yachiyo wishing for calm days, Yuna regretting bloodshed, Himena acknowledging she would be dead without her wish, Felicia grateful for Mikazuki&#039;s support, Touka and Nemu recognizing their wishes saved their lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Ui reminds Iroha she would not be alive if she had not become a Magical Girl. Iroha understands that true happiness is connecting everyone&#039;s dreams and weaving a future that ends in hope. She chooses the present and returns to reality.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dust&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Lavi, now freed, apologizes and vows to work for a future where Magical Girls can live. The group reunites with the goal of taking back the Automatic Purification System. Ui, reflecting on Lavi&#039;s fears and the cryptic hypothesis from Touka and Nemu, comes to a realization. She concludes that even if Iroha reclaims the system, it may not be a complete solution. Resolving to ensure their success, Ui decides she must become the core of the Automatic Purification System herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, and Lavi confront Kyubey at the core, with Ui declaring she fully intends to become the new core of the system. However, Kyubey reveals he has achieved complete control over it. He explains that because all Kyubey bodies share a single consciousness, defeating the one fused with the core is meaningless; they would need to eliminate every Kyubey in the universe to sever his control, which is impossible. He also states he can now command the Kimochi Stones once they&#039;re released they are released.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ui&#039;s attempt to attack the core Kyubey fails, as another body immediately replaces it. Faced with this impossible situation, Iroha and Lavi see no way to win.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth, Alina prepares to give the spirit of Mikoto to the incomplete Mirror Witch as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; which will allow Mikoto to become whole and enact her plan for ultimate destruction. Karin protests, but Alina makes a promise: if Mikoto succeeds in destroying Kamihama, Alina will believe humanity&#039;s future is despair and continue to pursue destruction. If Mikoto fails, Alina will believe in a future of happiness and follow Karin&#039;s &amp;quot;Reformation Project.&amp;quot; Alina then sends Karin away and proceeds with Mikoto&#039;s plan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Within the Automatic Purification System, as hope seems lost, Kagome finally resolves to make a contract. She wishes for &amp;quot;the power to make Kyubey and his kind unable to interfere with the Automatic Purification System forever.&amp;quot; Her wish is granted, and she becomes a Magical Girl, now causing even Aru to manifest and speak with her directly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103305 kagome birth1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Empowered by her wish, Kagome forces Kyubey&#039;s influence out of the Automatic Purification System. Kagome and Aru fly over Kamihama City, using her new magic to systematically locate and eliminate Kyubey&#039;s bodies within the city with her leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As Kagome&#039;s wish takes effect, Mikoto leads Alina towards the center of Endless Mirrors, where she is to give Mikoto&#039;s persona to the Witch, and Mikoto will then bring forth ultimate destruction.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc11&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome removes all of Kyubey from Kamihama and completely severs his ability to disrupt the purification system. Ui prepares to restore the Automatic Purification System to gather impurities from unconscious Magical Girls before they turn into Witches, making Doppels possible again. Iroha states that even the hypothetical &amp;quot;Will of the Universe&amp;quot; cannot stand against them, as Magical Girls sustain the universe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 12: Tying The Eternal Coloring|Arc 2, Chapter 12: Tying The Eternal Coloring]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Inside the Endless Mirrors, Alina and Mikoto find the incomplete Mirrors Witch, which, lacking a persona, knew nothing but fear and to tremble. Alina follows Mikoto&#039;s instructions and places her hand on the empty Winchester, transferring Mikoto&#039;s persona to the Witch. Mikoto and the Mirrors Witch, now one, awakens fully and happily declares that she will no longer have to see the faces of those who mourn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia, Yozuru, and others arrive to Iroha&#039;s location with the hurt faction leaders and the necessary Grief Seeds to help them. Despite their injuries, Yuna and Shizuka urge Iroha to prioritize activating the system.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha, Ui, and Lil&#039; Kyubey unite to channel the energy from the Kimochi Stones and spread the Automatic Purification System&#039;s barrier worldwide. However, their attempt is blocked by a powerful Witch, quickly identified by Lavi and Iroha as originating from the Endless Mirrors. Kyubey also appears and confirms the Witch&#039;s interference is to blame, even allowing him to bypass the recently established barrier of the purification system.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Familiars from Endless Mirrors appear and target Ui specifically. Livia, Lavi, and the others defend her while Iroha performs emergency healing on the injured Yuna and Shizuka. Kagome also arrives, having redirected herself after jumping skyward after her contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103301 littleqb kill1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The group confirms the Mirror Witch has engulfed Kamihama City in its Labyrinth, disabling the Automatic Purification System&#039;s barrier. Kagome then realizes she may have inadvertently triggered the Witch&#039;s attack; in the past, she signed a mysterious oath with an Endless Mirrors Familiar to &amp;quot;destroy all Magical Girls.&amp;quot; Kyubey states that by breaking this oath and becoming a Magical Girl herself, Kagome gave the Witch an opportunity to act. However, Iroha rejects Kyubey&#039;s attempt to place blame on Kagome and reaffirms their goal to defeat the Witch. Iroha, Ui, and the Lil&#039; Kyubey attempt to fuse again to channel the Kimochi Stones&#039; power to reactivate the system.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Timeline A===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103301 littleqb kill2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* However, suddenly Lil&#039; Kyubey is killed with one of Iroha&#039;s arrows.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A copy of Iroha declares she killed Lil&#039; Kyubey, and the group quickly defeat her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103301 alina.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* As they&#039;re mourning, Karin arrives and reveals Alina and Mikoto Sena are responsible for the Mirror Witch&#039;s attack. She explains that merging Mikoto&#039;s persona with the Witch completed its form, and its goal is to create a time paradox to annihilate the universe. Kyubey also confirms that a paradox would destroy the world. Lavi urges Iroha and Ui to fight, and they resolve to create a miracle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At Satomi Medical Center, Touka&#039;s father notes several unconscious girls, including Mitsune and Konomi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group devises a plan to destroy all the small mirrors to break the barrier around a large central mirror, which they believe contains the Witch. They split into teams and use the power of the Kimochi Stones, with the recipients being Iroha, Ui, Kagome, Shizuka, Yuna, Himena, Lavi, and Livia.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Karin declines to join the teams, stating she has a personal task. Kagome uses her magic and Aru&#039;s clones to gather information and track enemies. The teams destroy mirrors through the night, as they identify Mirror copies by testing magical signatures and personal knowledge about the girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Himena, blaming herself for the unconscious Magical Girls, resolves to go to the Puella Care caravan and use her unique magic to synthesize the powers of seven specific girls: Hotori Yuzuki, Rion Yuzuki, Yuuna Kaharu, Meguru Hibiki, Ashley Taylor, Sasara Minagi, and Hikaru Kirari, even though it risks her life.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Ui save Himena from Familiars, allowing her to focus on the synthesis. Himena retrieves the seven magics and transfers Meguru&#039;s &amp;quot;live commentary&amp;quot; magic to Iroha. She instructs Iroha to use it to power up both allies and enemies as part of her strategy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia, Yozuru, and Sudachi find the original Labyrinth at the Mirrors Manor destroyed. They see copies recycling energy toward the giant mirror and destroy a Familiar that was about to become a Witch. Livia theorizes the giant mirror may not be the Witch&#039;s true location.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha begins her live commentary. Himena uses the synthesized magic in sequence: Hotori&#039;s &amp;quot;heroic introduction&amp;quot; to stun her enemies, Rion&#039;s &amp;quot;binding&amp;quot; to lock their movements, and Yuuna&#039;s &amp;quot;submission&amp;quot; to pacify them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* However, Iroha&#039;s commentary strengthens the Witches, allowing them to break free. Himena uses Sasara&#039;s &amp;quot;provoke&amp;quot; and Hikaru&#039;s &amp;quot;devotion&amp;quot; to face them, then uses Ashley&#039;s &amp;quot;switch&amp;quot; magic to turn the Witches&#039; amplified power against themselves, destroying the barrier mirrors but greatly exhausting herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome notes the Familiars show no distress and Lavi reports a second barrier is in place. Yozuru&#039;s team reports that energy is being funneled into the giant mirror, theorizing it is the weapon intended to cause the paradox. An Aru clone relays to Lavi that the Mirror Witch&#039;s true plan is to travel to the past to prevent human evolution, erasing humanity, which Kyubey also confirms. Lavi entrusts Karin with delivering the Aru clone, which holds this intelligence, back to the main group.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group splits: Shizuka, Himena, and Yuna will assault the mirror; Iroha and Ui will stay behind, with Iroha healing the sleeping girls and Ui gathering energy for a final attack; Kagome is sent to retrieve Touka and Nemu from the hospital.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako arrives at the hospital to get Touka and Nemu, and Tasuke and Touka&#039;s father help her transport them to a car.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Livia, Yozuru, Sudachi, and Lavi infiltrate the enemy ranks using Livia&#039;s Coordination magic. They confront copies of Livia and Lavi who command the energy delivery. Both Livia and Lavi fail to interrogate their copies and are forced to defeat their copies. However, their emotional outbursts alert the Familiars, nullifying their disguises.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha heals the unconscious girls but is forced to experience their nightmares of dystopian futures where Magical Girls are persecuted. As Iroha experiences more nightmares, Karin and Ui snap her out of it, and Karin leaves to help Kagome.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, Shizuka, and Himena arrive to save the overwhelmed Livia and Lavi. Their joined team shatters the final barrier around the giant mirror.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Ui prepare to destroy the mirror. Ui gathers energy from the shattered mirrors, and Iroha plans to combine it with Touka and Nemu&#039;s magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sakurako and Kagome fight Familiars ambushing the transport car and the car explodes. Tasuke and Touka&#039;s father are mortally wounded but protected the girls&#039; Soul Gems. As Tasuke and Touka&#039;s father die, Tasuke gives Kagome a pen for Nayuta, and Sakurako and Kagome continue with taking Touka and Nemu to Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* With the barrier reforming, Iroha and Ui combine their powers without Touka and Nemu. Iroha fires the gathered energy at the giant mirror and destroys it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome and Sakurako arrive too late for the attack, revealing the deaths of Tasuke and Touka&#039;s father.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103302 caught ui2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Suddenly, as Ui starts to gether more energy, the spectral hand of the Mirror Witch appears, seizes Ui&#039;s Soul Gem and disappears. Simultaneously, Sakurako, whose existence is tied to Ui, Touka, and Nemu, vanishes. Iroha deduces that this means that Ui is really dead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kyubey informs the others that the Mirror Witch has taken control of the Automatic Purification System, before he deactivates. Iroha falls into despair over Ui&#039;s death. Kagome comforts her, and Iroha resolves to move forward to honor Ui&#039;s memory and their bonds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Lavi, Shizuka, Yuna, Himena, and Livia arrive. The group acknowledges their catastrophic situation and comforts Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yozuru, Sudachi, and Karin arrive. Yozuru reports they turned the copies of Riko and Mikage to their side. Karin reveals she stole a hand mirror from a Familiar, which the copies identify as a device that can travel to the recent past. Iroha proposes using the mirror to go back to when Ui and Lil&#039; Kyubey were alive to save them. The group agrees and moves to Hokuyo Ward where they attempted the fusion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha senses the Witch growing stronger by absorbing energy from Magical Girls turning into Witches as disasters erupt across Kamihama. Alina stops the group and takes Karin, stating she will observe. Karin gives Iroha the hand mirror. Alina reflects on her past and her artistic philosophy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group encounters a horde of Magical Girls subsumed by their Doppels. Shizuka, Yuna, Himena, and Lavi stay behind to hold them off, urging Iroha, Kagome, Livia, Yozuru, and Sudachi to go on.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuna, Shizuka, Himena, and Lavi perish in the battle. Their spirits bequeath their power to Yachiyo through her unique magic. Yachiyo uses this power to share strength with Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana, freeing them temporarily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the system entrance, Livia, Yozuru, and Sudachi betray Iroha and seize the hand mirror, declaring their allegiance to the Witch. However, Livia&#039;s group was faking the betrayal to draw the Witch&#039;s attack through Livia&#039;s unique magic. They sacrifice themselves to absorb the fatal blow meant for Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103303 last mikazuki.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Kagome are besieged by the horde, but Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana arrive and hold them back, urging Iroha to take their hope into the future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Riko and Mikage copies set up the hand mirror. Touka and Nemu contact Iroha telepathically, warning that retrieving Ui and Lil&#039; Kyubey would create a paradox. They propose sending a record of their experiences back instead. Aru produces a leaf with the record.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103303 leaf irohahand2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The magic sustaining the copies breaks with Yozuru and Sudachi&#039;s deaths. The Riko and Mikage copies revert, destroying the hand mirror. Iroha is left with no options and prays for a happy future. The leaf glows and disappears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina declares the scene to be fine art. Karin resolves to fight, and Alina joins her, naming Karin a &amp;quot;Brilliant Girl&amp;quot; and declaring the final battle begun.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Timeline B===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nine hours earlier, at 6 PM.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A leaf imbued with Kagome&#039;s magic appears before Iroha and Ui, transmitting a vision of the future timeline showing Lil&#039; Kyubey&#039;s death, the sacrifices of their friends, and Iroha&#039;s despair. They comprehend the message as a record from the previous timeline, and Iroha realizes a copy of herself kills Lil&#039; Kyubey, and the group resolves to change the future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 1800.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Adv eve 11711.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The faction leaders defend Lil&#039; Kyubey and Ui to prevent the catastrophic future, and Iroha, Ui, and Lil&#039; Kyubey successfully fuse together into Infinite Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt; Iroha, Ui and Lil&#039; Kyubey&#039;s minds are then pulled in a world created by the Kimochi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;InfiniteIrohass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Infinite Iroha#Side Story|Infinite Iroha&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha wakes at Mikazuki Villa on a Friday, where Yachiyo reminds her that Magical Girls no longer need to fight thanks to the Automatic Purification System. After school, she meets with Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, and they encounter various familiar faces around the city, including members of the Tokime Clan and Promised Blood at the Coordinator&#039;s shop. Iroha feels relieved seeing everyone at peace, believing in Kamihama&#039;s future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;InfiniteIrohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The next morning at the villa, everyone except Iroha, Ui, and Lil&#039; Kyubey suddenly freezes in place. The wind and clouds continue moving, but all people have stopped. Investigating, they realize they need to go to Hotel Fendt Hope. In the hotel basement, they find Touka and Nemu, who explain that looking backward toward the past stops all motion while living requires moving forward—everyone became trapped in memories. Before they can explain more, their time stops as well, and the world itself begins freezing. The Kimochi appear, and Iroha understands they are inside a world created by them, seeing the happiness of all Magical Girls. Realizing she and Ui have also stopped, trapped by the warmth of the future they envisioned, they resolve together to set the future in motion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;InfiniteIrohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha wakes in a world within their hearts, where all their friends gather for a picnic under the Eternal Sakura. Iroha clarifies she does not want the exact same days to continue, but she wants to move forward and bring this future into reality. Understanding that this ideal world is the result of the powers of herself, the Kimochi, Ui, Lil&#039; Kyubey, are flowing together, she hopes it becomes real.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;InfiniteIrohass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Iroha reflects on how becoming one with Ui, Lil&#039; Kyubey, and the Kimochi allows her to experience everyone&#039;s memories. Feeling nostalgic, she looks back on their journey, beginning with the aftermath of defeating the Uwasa. When the group investigated what became of the original Rumors, they found that while the Rumors themselves were gone, they had persisted as mere folklore without any lasting magical influence. This realization left everyone with mixed feelings, but Iroha understood that facing the past enabled them to see the future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;vib&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Vibrant Miracle|Vibrant Miracle]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** After recovering Ui from the Magius, the group worked to expand the Automatic Purification System until Nemu was kidnapped by former Wings members who had chosen to die with their ideals. Iroha realized that even shared feelings could lead to conflict over differing approaches. Though they tried to convince the former Wings to join them in peacefully pursuing the Magius&#039; goals, the bonds formed during this conflict became the foundation for the Kamihama Magia Union, expanding the circle of magical girls despite the fighting that erupted from their misunderstandings.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;vib&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** As magical girls gathered in Kamihama over the Automatic Purification System, conflict erupted over the Kimochi Stones, though this period also brought new friendships with girls like Shizuka and Kagome. During a pause in the fighting, everyone anticipated the All Gods Festival, whose final firework was said to grant a year of health and peace. When the firework fell into the river, Lil&#039; Kyubey protected it, saving the celebration. Grateful, Iroha resolved to fulfill the blessing Lil&#039; Kyubey preserved: that everyone might live in peace and good health.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;vib&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** After the festival, the battles continued with much sorrow. Iroha recalls a strange, dreamlike memory of receiving an invitation to a banquet at Suitoku Temple, where everyone practiced entertainment acts. Despite the embarrassing performances, a heavenly voice encouraged them not to let suffering defeat them, explaining that they lived in a universe without predetermined destiny where they could sculpt their own future. Though forgotten, those kind words remained in Iroha&#039;s heart, inspiring her to push through pain and create a future where everyone can be saved.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;vib&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*** Iroha tells Lil&#039; Kyubey that despite all the hardships they&#039;ve faced together, every difficulty ultimately led to hope. With the futures of all magical girls who connected with the Kimochi flowing through her, each one hoping for salvation, she affirms that they must spread the Automatic Purification System worldwide and keep these hopes shining like stars. As she&#039;s swept up in everyone&#039;s thoughts, Iroha wishes for the visions ahead to be of a happy world overflowing with hope.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;vib&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* Back in reality, Iroha thanks the others for handling the Mirror copies. Ui&#039;s form appears ghostly, with Lil&#039; Kyubey acting as their link. The group resolves to assault the Mirrors Mansion, when Touka and Nemu appear, reuniting with Iroha and Ui. They explain they transformed into Uwasa Queens to evade the Will of the Universe, lying dormant until Iroha gathered the Kimochi Stones and Ui recaptured the Automatic Purification System. They now operate by parasitizing Iroha and Ui&#039;s magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Mirror Witch&#039;s forces retreat toward the Puella Care trailer, and Touka and Nemu deduce the Witch anticipates their strategy, which requires the power of the sleeping Magical Girls. Iroha expands her wings to transport the group there at high speed. Upon arrival, Touka and Nemu announce they will transform all the sleeping Magical Girls into Uwasa to liberate them from their nightmares and permanently prevent them from becoming Witches. Iroha instructs Kagome to share the memories with everyone upon awakening, and Touka and Nemu activate their power.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As the girls awaken in their Uwasa forms, Mirror Witch offshoots advance on the group. As all the girls have awakened, the newly awakened Rumor Magical Girls reunite with their factions, while Livia announces her group will fight the Witch separately. Yachiyo confirms everyone understands the situation thanks to Kagome&#039;s shared memories and Iroha rallies the coalition to enter the Mirrors Mansion and stop the Witch from altering the past.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The coalition fights to stem the invasion of Familiars and copies, and Touka and Nemu forge the collective magic into a single arrow for Iroha to use. Iroha strikes first, addressing the Witch and Mikoto directly, and her attack causes the Mirror Witch&#039;s Labyrinth to manifest around them. Magical Girls report sensations of their bodies being cut apart and an intense gravitational force immobilizes most of the coalition. Initial attacks prove ineffective, and they notice an invisible barrier that blocks strikes and drains magic. Iroha instructs Touka to convert the Witch&#039;s own magic, making the invisible defense visible as shards of glass. She then instructs everyone to target and destroy the shards to weaken the Witch and launch a counteroffensive.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Mikoto game over.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The Witch&#039;s defensive barrier breaks, and the Witch&#039;s true form is revealed as Winchester. Iroha announces a plan to gather the Witch&#039;s magic and power from beyond the Mirrors for a final attack, and the coalition divides to target the Witch&#039;s limbs, with the factions each attacking one of the four limbs, while the Magia Union, led by Yachiyo, prepares to confront the Witch&#039;s main head.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Offshoot Witches appear to guard the limbs. Touka and Nemu instruct Kagome to use her Interview Records, infusing the coalition with the magic of numerous Magical Girls to strengthen them for the assault. Each group successfully immobilizes their respective limb after being powered up by their [[Interview Records]].&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103304 mirror witch appear2.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo confirms all groups have bound the Witch&#039;s limbs and orders the Union to contain the main body until Iroha is ready. As the Witch attacks Iroha, Alina intervenes and saves her by engulfing Iroha into her own Labyrinth. Alina pledges to protect Iroha to witness humanity&#039;s defiance, as she now realizes she finds life struggling against death to be the answer she was looking for. Iroha accepts Karin and Alina&#039;s alliance and resolves to erase the Witch&#039;s curse with her team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha confronts Mikoto Sena&#039;s self directly, who believes Magical Girls are inherently tragic despite what Iroha claims. Mikoto&#039;s memories begin to fragment and she attacks Iroha again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103304 puella gather.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The initial assault by Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu fails to defeat the Witch, leaving them drained and vulnerable. As the Witch prepares another attack, the Uwasa of the Wind Evangelist reveals she&#039;s travelled through the Mirror Labyrinths to summon help. Magical Girls from countless other timelines and universes begin to arrive through the Mirrors to aid in the battle. Now several Magical Girls from different points in time and space fight the Mirror Witch through the mirrors it formed to cause paradoxes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt; Among others, the girls in the fight include: &lt;br /&gt;
** [[Oriko Mikuni]] and [[Kirika Kure]] from present-day Mitakihara. It is likely that Oriko, having seen visions of the Mirror Witch, had also somewhat organized and lead this attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** [[Darc]] and [[Liz Hawkwood]] from 15th century France.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** [[Kazumi Subaru]] and [[Umika Misaki]] from present-day Asunaro City.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** [[Suzune Amano]], [[Haruka Kanade]] and [[Matsuri Hinata]] from Hohzuki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha instructs Kagome to coordinate the allies and Touka declares they must destroy the crossing Mirrors after the Witch&#039;s defeat to erase the paradoxes. Mikoto summons a horde of Familiars and Witches from her mirrors and Rena, Momoko, and Kaede lead the defense against them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina intervenes again to protect Iroha from Mikoto&#039;s attacks, and Touka, Ui, and Nemu gather and channel energy from the multiversal Magical Girls. Shizuka, Yuna, Himena, and Lavi announce the defeat of Mikoto&#039;s Familiar army. Iroha delivers the final declaration and unleashes the collective hope of all Magical Girls as their final attack.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103304 phantom puella.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha confronts the true nature of the Mirror Witch, a fusion of Mikoto and countless other Magical Girls from across history who succumbed to despair, including Chizuru. Iroha vows to use present hope to rewrite this history of despair, and in the conflict, Mikoto urges Iroha to show her the hope she speaks of. The Mirror Witch then merges with Iroha, transferring its entire history of curses and sorrow into her. Iroha witnesses the vast tapestry of Magical Girl suffering across time and space. She also sees the pivotal moment in her own life: in nearly every other timeline, she died in a car accident. Her survival was a fluke caused by an unintentional act of time travel from another Magical Girl. This reveals her unique magic is not healing, but instead the power to rewind time for a target.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The Mirror Witch and all the mirrors disappear. Iroha announces that as part of the miracle she promised Mikoto, she will rewind every Magical Girl transformed into an Uwasa back into their original forms and fully establish the Automatic Purification System. Her friends recognize the danger and protest, but Iroha insists on this path despite the fact that overuse of her magic will be too much and erase Iroha&#039;s very existence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One by one, the leaders, members of the various factions, and her close friends all thank her and bid her a tearful farewell as she disappears, promising to protect the future she created and await her return. As Iroha&#039;s physical form begins to fade and she loses the ability to speak or be seen, she shares a final, private moment with Ui, Touka, and Nemu, who join her. They resolve to use the vast energy now at their disposal to expand the Automatic Purification System across the world as the first step toward creating a kinder world for Magical Girls and all people.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103304 four system.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Labyrinth of the Doppel System, high above Earth, Iroha, Ui, Lil&#039; Kyubey, Touka, Nemu, Sakurako, and Mikoto watch over the world as the curses of the Mirror Witch finally subside, having demonstrated her ultimate miracle and secured a hopeful future for Magical Girls all around the globe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Epilogue===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome narrates that the Automatic Purification System spread worldwide, and Magical Girls were saved from their fate. Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu disappeared from general memory, recalled only very vaguely by most people, though Magical Girls remember them clearly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome visits Karin at Sakae Academy to discuss the disappearance of Alina. Karin reveals that Alina has dropped out of school and left the country to fulfill a promise to her, referencing the plan to reform. Alina sends Karin a message from her destination, challenging her to create &amp;quot;antidote&amp;quot; art to counter Alina&#039;s own &amp;quot;poison.&amp;quot; The message includes a video titled &amp;quot;The Sun...?&amp;quot; which shows a giant LED light in a forest at night, a scene Karin identifies as a battlefield.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The group known as Folklore of Zero has effectively disbanded, with its members now acting as a circle of close friends who have effectively joined different factions. Kagome is also in the process of writing a book to document the events of the Kamihama Magical Girls and the final battle, presumably [[Puella Magi Diarium]].&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103305 nayutafamily.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome visits Nayuta&#039;s house to discuss the book&#039;s structure. She finds Lavi performing housework and Professor Tasuke, who has forgotten Iroha, present for a memory-refreshing session. Mikage arrives and aggressively questions Kagome about when the book and the truth about Magical Girls will be made public. Tasuke and Kagome explain the book requires significant revision and a carefully considered narrative structure. Tasuke outlines a long-term strategy to reveal the truth, comparing it to the gradual spread of folklore or the step-by-step process of an introductory text. He estimates it will take ten to twenty years for the full story of the Magical Girls to be delivered to the public.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103305 neomagus.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome observes the Neo-Magius and their Feathers in a state of frantic activity. They are searching for and destroying evidence related to a construction incident where the main hall&#039;s ceiling collapsed, for which they accept responsibility. Himena explains that she and Hiko created a lecture series to help the Feathers discover their positive qualities and boost their self-esteem. The initiative has shown success, with members like Hagumu feeling more valued for her skills in clothing and acting. However, Miyuri&#039;s fixation on photographing legs remains a problematic, unpraiseworthy behavior. Alexandra also informs Himena she will be unavailable to help with a future class, as she will be in Yukuni City with Lavi and other members of the former Folklore of Zero.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103305 tokimeclan.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome observes the Tokime Clan in a state of excited chaos as they plan a visit to Minaminagi Park. Ryouko teases Shizuka with exaggerated descriptions of theme park rides, which alarms her. Sunao apologizes for the noise and confirms the group plans to visit the park for fun before returning to Tokime Village, and that Sunao has marked every concession stand on a park map. Asahi practices with a marksmanship tool that Chika suggests will be useful for her work as a nature guide. Shizuka reveals that the current meeting is a rehearsal for their actual trip the following day, demonstrating their high level of enthusiasm for the outing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103305 promisedblood.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* While some members of Promised Blood who held a strong hatred for Kamihama&#039;s Magical Girls never change their mind, others develop a sense of camaraderie through their past battles and visit the city on occasion. Kagome encounters Yuna in Kamihama, who explains she is chaperoning Ao and Ranka, not meeting with the Union. Yuna appears more tired than before, despite having fewer responsibilities. Hikaru and Juri are present and their outings often involve trouble, which has resulted in them breaking a boxing arcade machine. Ao and Ranka are engaged in a competitive video game tournament and their strategy is to win tickets to a future tournament with free accommodations, which Ao hopes will serve as a family trip for the group. Yuna, encouraged by the idea, cheers them on and Ao almost calls Yuna &amp;quot;Mom&amp;quot; before catching herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103305 puellacare.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The three members of Puella Care prepare to leave Kamihama City to help Magical Girls in other regions as part of their journey to redemption. Kyubey goes with them, as Livia insists on living for his mission rather than for the universe. Mitama and Kanagi choose to remain in Kamihama to maintain the student conference and support their many friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sometime later, a sense of peace and gratitude for Iroha&#039;s actions settles over the Magical Girls, though a feeling of loneliness for the lost friends remains. The girls frequently gather under the Eternal Sakura tree, where they sense a flow of magical impurities being purified and feel Iroha&#039;s presence.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:103305 mikazuki.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Yachiyo, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia hold a picnic under the Eternal Sakura. They feel a strong connection to Iroha and Ui, who communicate with them briefly. Iroha explains that she, Ui, Touka, and Nemu are busy managing the records of Magical Girls from the past but will reunite with everyone someday. Iroha states that the place where the records are gathered is called the &amp;quot;Magia Record,&amp;quot; and that the future publication of Kagome&#039;s book about Magical Girls may one day guide them all back together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;a2mc12&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Unknown Placement==&lt;br /&gt;
These events are known to have taken at some point before Arc 2&#039;s conclusion, but their placement is uncertain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kimochi Raids===&lt;br /&gt;
The Kimochi Raids are a number of fights which could have happened at many points during the story. The documented cases are listed below, however it isn&#039;t verifiable whether they took place during the placement of their events, or even if they were the only ones. The first documented Kimochi Raids take place before Kagome makes her contract and it is also presumed that they stopped once the Kimochi were integrated into the Automatic Purification System. Only the first encounter has a story accompanying to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hollow copies of the Kimochi start to appear throughout Kamihama. They do not drop their main Kimochi Stones anymore, but they do drop fragments of crystals, which the Magical Girls find can be used in Coordination. In the order they were recorded in, they are:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Joyful - Sapphire Lips:&#039;&#039;&#039; Team Mikazuki encounter a copy of the Kimochi, which they note looks identical to the one Iroha has on her bracelet, but its magic pattern is different. Touka explains that these Kimochi are fragments of the giant Witch Eve, which scattered impurities after its defeat. When impurities exceed a certain level, they form a Kimochi. The group decides to study and fight this new enemy. Kagome wonders that if the Kimochi existed earlier, other Magical Girls must have fought them without knowing about the stones or even fragments, which can be used in Spirit Enhancement by Coordinators.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Oscillating - Aquamarine Heel&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Obedient - Ruby Navel&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

** &#039;&#039;&#039;Unmoving - Garnet Pinky&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Joyful - Sapphire Lips&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Emiri===&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Emiri arrives early to meet her friends at the mall, but while waiting she overhears classmates complaining that she can be loud and annoying. Hurt by their words, she runs away in tears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaemiri&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Emiri Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Emiri]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When her friends find her, Emiri asks if they think she&#039;s annoying. Hinano honestly admits that she can be sometimes, causing Emiri to break down despite the others quickly adding that it is part of her charm. Before they can comfort her properly, the group senses a powerful Witch nearby and moves to fight it. Emiri insists she is fine to battle, but her distraction causes her to fight poorly, and after the Witch is defeated, she collapses from a nearly corrupted Soul Gem.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaemiri&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri finds herself in a void speaking with a shadowy version of herself, which questions whether she would rather give up being herself entirely than risk annoying people. Remembering her friends&#039; kindness, she realizes that even if she can be bothersome at times, there are those who accept her as she is. She accepts herself completely, though she vows to improve when she is older.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaemiri&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Emiri awakens to her relieved friends, who are simply glad she is alright despite missing their planned buffet. On the way home, she encounters the same classmates and apologizes for being too loud during the lesson. They clarify they were upset because a teacher scolded her, not because of her behavior, and they ask for another lesson. Emiri happily agrees, and when Hinano expresses surprise at her self-awareness, Emiri claims she is growing up a little more each day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitaemiri&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Sudachi===&lt;br /&gt;
* Sudachi trains as a Coordinator while living with Livia and Yozuru, but she struggles with her fractions lessons and notices Livia has been distracted by responsibilities in Kamihama. Seeking to cheer her up, Sudachi consults Mikage, who suggests demonstrating real growth as a Coordinator would please Livia most.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitasudachi&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Sudachi Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Sudachi]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sudachi successfully performs her first emotion fragment adjustment for clients, a task she had previously avoided to receive Livia&#039;s attention, but the achievement feels hollow. Partnering with Mikage, she investigates the Kamihama Magia Union by approaching former Neo-Magius members and offering free adjustments, learning that the Union operates with a small core group while most members focus on self-preservation. Their activities draw suspicion from hostile Magical Girls who accuse them of breaching neutrality, but Sudachi asserts herself until Juri intervenes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitasudachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Returning late past her study time, Sudachi faces Livia&#039;s anger and momentarily flees. Livia tracks her down and reveals her frustration stems not from anger but from concern over her own inadequate teaching. Having learned of Sudachi&#039;s accomplishments through others, Livia praises her and motivates her to master fractions with the promise of more praise. Sudachi solves the problems correctly, and they prepare together for her upcoming visit to her parents&#039; home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitasudachi&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Unknown Story===&lt;br /&gt;
* The night before the waterpark trip, several members of the Holy Quintet experience strange dreams. Homura dreams of herself and Nagisa going down a waterslide together. Kyoko and Mami dream of striking heroic poses in swimsuits. Nagisa dreams of being surrounded by zombies. Mami dreams of a fireworks show and a family enjoying them together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Unknown Story ~ The Midsummer Magic and Tomorrow&#039;s Memories ~|Unknown Story ~ The Midsummer Magic and Tomorrow&#039;s Memories ~]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The morning of the waterpark trip, Nagisa writes in her diary about the upcoming trip to a new waterpark. She had asked Mami to accompany her because her friend Manatsu and Manatsu&#039;s family were going. At a restaurant, they coincidentally met Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka, who also planned to visit the same waterpark. Kyoko joined them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that morning, the group gathers at the train station. On the train, they discover that Madoka and Homura shared the same dream, causing them to arrive late. Sayaka dreamed of receiving an urgent message from Nagisa and losing contact. Nagisa dreamed of being attacked by zombies at the pool. Kyoko&#039;s dream was simply striking poses with Mami.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Madoka and Homura are startled to find the pool matches their dreams exactly. Nagisa and Kyoko, both unable to swim, brought matching floaties. They meet Manatsu&#039;s family, including her parents and little sister. Nagisa runs off to play with the sister, leaving her phone behind. The adults split into search parties and locate the children at the kids&#039; pool. Manatsu&#039;s mother mentions their work at an observatory and their excitement for the evening&#039;s fireworks. Mami recognizes their voices from her dream.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa reveals that Manatsu told her about a similar dream where Manatsu&#039;s family and the girls watched fireworks, but Manatsu herself was absent. Kyoko senses magical energy from the indoor pool building. Before they can investigate, Homura reports that Madoka and Sayaka vanished upon entering that building. Mami and Kyoko rush there, leaving Nagisa with Homura.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura asks Nagisa to point out Manatsu, but Homura sees only the parents and little sister. A Witch barrier engulfs the park. Manatsu vanishes, and visitors under a Witch&#039;s Kiss march toward the indoor pool.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Homura and Nagisa flee, finding a waterslide that leads near the building. They jump together on a floating ring, just as in their dreams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sayaka sees them sliding down. Mami and Kyoko cannot find anyone inside. Kyoko realizes she herself suggested the waterpark trip, not Manatsu. Nagisa&#039;s memory was altered. By sensing magical energy, they locate a Witch. They attack, and though the Witch flees, everyone becomes visible, including Madoka, Sayaka, and the crowd. Manatsu appears before them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Manatsu explains she is merely an illusion; the real Manatsu became a Witch years ago. After a surgery, she overheard her parents discussing giving up their dream jobs at an observatory to care for her. That night, she dreamed of her family happy at a waterpark, her parents still researchers, with a little sister not yet born, but Manatsu herself was absent. Believing her family would be happier without her, she wished upon Kyubey for that dream to become reality. Her parents&#039; research received renewed funding, but Manatsu, now a stranger to her family, despaired and became a Witch. Her barrier has been sustaining the wish, preventing attacks until the dream is fulfilled.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group&#039;s prophetic dreams occurred because they resemble those in Manatsu&#039;s dream. They must complete the remaining dreams: Kyoko&#039;s tokusatsu pose and Mami&#039;s fireworks surprise. They agree to help.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They are attacked by invisible familiars. Mami uses a nearby stage to perform the tokusatsu hero show from Kyoko&#039;s dream. They transform into magical girl swimsuit forms, deliver their lines, and defeat the familiars using floaties.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At night, fireworks begin. Manatsu&#039;s little sister asks if fireworks can be seen from space. Her parents explain their work sending messages to other planets. A UFO appears, transmitting signals matching their project, followed by a decoding key. The message reads: &amp;quot;I&#039;m home.&amp;quot; Manatsu&#039;s wish is fulfilled. The UFO departs. The parents feel something important was forgotten.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** With the wish granted, the magic suppressing the Witch ceases. Homura enters and kills the Witch alone, acting quickly before others could hesitate. Kyubey appears, confirming her actions were correct.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Nagisa and Mami watch news coverage of the UFO sighting. Manatsu&#039;s parents have become famous. In an interview, Manatsu&#039;s mother calls it &amp;quot;a gift from Midsummer magic.&amp;quot; Reflecting on Manatsu&#039;s sacrifice, Mami notes that while Manatsu could not be happy herself, she made her parents very happy. Nagisa tells Mami she is grateful to have her. Mami serves cheesecake and considers fighting in that magical swimsuit again someday.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;unkn/&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Shizuka===&lt;br /&gt;
* On a weekday, Shizuka decides to create a map of Kamihama for the branch family girls who will soon arrive, insisting on exploring alone while Chiharu and Sunao are at school despite their concern. At Suitoku Market Street, she becomes overwhelmed by the number of shops, and a police officer approaches her, suspicious of a child alone on a weekday. Natsuki intervenes, explaining Shizuka is a homeschooled student who just moved to the city, and introduces herself as a Magical Girl with Kamihama Magia Union, explaining that Iroha asked them to watch for anyone from the Tokime clan.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitashizuka&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Shizuka Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Shizuka]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Grateful for the rescue, Shizuka accepts Natsuki&#039;s offer to guide her. They tour the market street, where Natsuki shares local knowledge, and Shizuka explains that in her village, elders handled all shopping outside and goods were shared communally, which is why city life is difficult to navigate. They visit a shopping mall, where Shizuka freezes at the escalator until a young girl helps her, and later a pushy saleswoman overwhelms her at a clothing store until Natsuki intervenes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitashizuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki takes Shizuka to a quiet park to rest, where they eat taiyaki and discuss Natsuki&#039;s role as a baseball club manager and cheer girl. Natsuki invites Shizuka to watch an exchange match that weekend, and they exchange contact information. Shizuka asks to visit the radio tower in Chuo Ward to see the city from above. At the station, she struggles with fare cards and platform navigation, and on the crowded train she is separated from Natsuki when she fails to get off in time. Natsuki messages her to wait at the next station, where Shizuka musters the courage to call out and push through the crowd, successfully exiting.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitashizuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They reunite and walk to the radio tower observation deck, where Shizuka explains the Tokime clan&#039;s pride: fighting to protect the people of Japan, not for personal wishes. She wants the branch family to see this view of what they must protect. That evening, Natsuki escorts Shizuka home and offers to pick her up for the exchange match.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitashizuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the match, Natsuki arrives at the Tokime village. Chiharu and Sunao thank her for helping Shizuka, embarrassing Shizuka, and they depart for the riverbed. At the riverbed, Natsuki realizes the baseball club&#039;s banner was left at school, and no one can retrieve it. Shizuka volunteers, declaring she will return the favor for Natsuki saving her, and despite her fear of navigating alone, she insists she can do it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitashizuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka successfully takes the train to Sankyoin alone and receives the banner from a teacher. On the return trip, her train stops due to trouble at Kamihama Station with no estimated resume time. Remembering Natsuki said the stations are close, she decides to run through Chuo Ward alone, using her navigation app. She arrives at the riverbed sweating but just as the match is about to start, and Natsuki is relieved and grateful. Shizuka realizes she was only scared and dependent before, and by deciding to act, she managed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitashizuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Shizuka gathers the Tokime clan girls, including Ryoko, Chika, and several masked branch family members, announcing she will guide them through Kamihama using her mapu. They tour Suitoku Market Street, the shopping mall, and a park, and the branch family girls are impressed Shizuka is already so familiar with the city despite arriving recently. Shizuka teaches them how to use fare machines at the station, admitting she could not ride trains until recently and encouraging them not to be afraid of the city. They arrive at the radio tower observation deck, where Shizuka shows them the daily lives of the people below, explaining this is what the Tokime clan exists to protect. She calls for unity as they carry out their mission together, and the clan agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitashizuka&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mikage===&lt;br /&gt;
* Mikage insists on helping her sister with cleaning, but Mitama assumes she wants money and offers her five hundred yen. Offended, Mikage goes to play with Sudachi instead. Together they read a fashion magazine, and Mikage becomes fixated on becoming an adult as quickly as possible. After finding everything too expensive at the store, she asks Mitama for her clothes and makeup. Mitama welcomes Sudachi as Mikage&#039;s friend and eventually gives in to Mikage&#039;s requests. The happy girls leave to show off their new looks while Mitama heads to work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamikage&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mikage Episode|Mitama&#039;s Special Training - Mikage]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At work, Mitama appears lost in thought, and Yachiyo and Mifuyu ask what is wrong. Mitama confides her concern that Mikage is in elementary school and obsessed with growing up. Yachiyo and Mifuyu grow nostalgic about their own childhood attempts to look mature, and all three conclude that every child dreams of growing up quickly. Reactions to Mikage in makeup are mixed, and she does not understand why.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamikage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Mikage decides she can look mature with cheap accessories. At the candy store, she wins a lottery prize but still fails to achieve the mature look she wants. Confused, she asks Mitama how to grow up and be like her. Mitama tells her not to rush and let time do its work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamikage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Mikage and Sudachi are at the shop when Yachiyo and Mifuyu visit. After they leave, a man apprehends the girls, finding them suspicious for wearing makeup late at night and recognizing Mikage as being from Daito. Mikage helplessly objects when Mitama calls out to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamikage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama calmly tells the man off and walks both girls home. When Mikage asks how she keeps a calm face when insulted, Mitama explains that adults understand how to express emotions appropriately. Mikage realizes being an adult is about having a mature heart, not just looking mature. Mitama then asks why she wants to become an adult. Mikage thinks to herself that her real reason is to help Mitama, who was hurt by how people in Kamihama treated her. For now, she keeps this secret.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mitamikage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Snow-thawing Befana===&lt;br /&gt;
* The last day of classes before winter break, Mikage tells her mother she will attend Lavi and Nayuta&#039;s Christmas party instead of their family dinner, hoping to experience a normal celebration after years of being teased for her family&#039;s strict Christmas rules. On her way, she meets Sudachi and Yozuru, who are dressed as the Three Wise Men for a Puella Care campaign, and joins them at Nayuta&#039;s house, where they discover a mysterious stocking stuffed with thirteen handmade confections. A Coordination grants Nayuta and Mikage matching outfits, and Nayuta&#039;s new magic summons a bare Christmas tree that pulls them inside an alternate world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;befana&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Snow Thawing Befana|Snow Thawing Befana]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the tree, they find ornaments containing memories of a girl named Rei&#039;s life: her loving childhood, her growth into adulthood, and eventually her pregnancy. The memories take a dark turn when they reveal Rei&#039;s mother furiously arguing they are too poor for another child, with Rei screaming that she did not want this either. Mikage realizes Rei is her mother and that she was an unwanted child, so she smashes the stocking and runs off.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;befana&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, plagued by nightmares of being a burden, Mikage stays at Nayuta&#039;s house.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;befana&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At the closing ceremony, Mikage&#039;s mother meets her at the gate with her forgotten schoolbag. When scolded about being a nuisance, Mikage blurts out that she knows she was unwanted and heads inside. After the ceremony, her teacher reveals she has known Mikage&#039;s mother for ten years and shares stories of her sacrifice, including calmly saving a toddler Mikage from a near-fatal river accident while screaming her name to bring her back. The teacher offers to let Mikage live with her, but Mikage&#039;s hesitation shows she still wants to believe in her mother.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;befana&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mikage returns to the tree with Nayuta, Lavi, Sudachi, and Yozuru to find the final memory. It reveals Rei choosing to cut off her parents to keep Mitama and her unborn baby, proving her commitment to her new family. The world collapses, and they awaken in a final memory where young Rei learns the family Christmas rules from her father, an aspiring confectionist who vows to make an extra dish for every Christmas he might miss due to age. Mikage understands now: her mother always loved her, and the thirteen gifts fulfill her grandparents&#039; promise for every Christmas they missed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;befana&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas Eve, Mikage arrives home to find her grandparents waiting. They explain they left the stocking at Nayuta&#039;s house after recognizing Mikage by her voice and uniform. The family reconciles, sharing fried chicken and cake as Mikage begins the festivities with a heartfelt &amp;quot;Merry Christmas!&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;befana&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===A Merry Christmas in Everyone&#039;s Hands===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Christmas day, Nayuta and Mikage help Mitama distribute gifts to all the magical girls at a special event. Mitama has collected donated items and matched them with girls who would appreciate them, leading to joyful reactions—Rion receives mushroom accessories, Hotori ecstatically accepts broken Dora Ranger goods from Seira, and Rena is shocked to learn her microphone originally belonged to Sayuki.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hands&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - A Merry Christmas in Everyone&#039;s Hands|A Merry Christmas in Everyone&#039;s Hands]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After all the girls have received their presents, the group notices one gift remaining for the little Kyubey. Mitama explains they made sure to include their important friend who watches over everyone, and Nayuta, Mikage, and Ui join in wishing the little creature a Merry Christmas.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;hands&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deliver Smiles! Reindeer Santa!===&lt;br /&gt;
* The three girls of the Tokime Clan—Chiharu, Sunao, and Shizuka—are startled when all their smartphones ring simultaneously. Shizuka panics when an image of a backpack appears on her screen, fearing her phone is broken, but Chiharu tries to calm her while Sunao notices text prompting them to tap. Before anyone can stop her, Shizuka presses the screen, causing her phone to vibrate and display a schedule for 3:00 PM at Mikazuki Manor along with a URL. Sunao worries about what this means, but Chiharu suggests they go see for themselves while gently scolding Shizuka for pressing things recklessly.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;deliv&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Angels on the Road ~Reindeer Santa Prospering Season~#Deliver Smiles! Reindeer Santa! Login Special|Deliver Smiles! Reindeer Santa!]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
**Arriving at Mikazuki Manor, the three are surprised to find everyone else already gathered there. Chiharu asks if everyone received the same URL, and Sakurako confirms that she, Touka, and Nemu also got it. Nemu observes that it seems everyone received free vouchers for different items. When asked what they received, Shizuka describes a heavy and scary looking book, Sunao got a book called &amp;quot;Ultra Savings Techniques,&amp;quot; and Chiharu received Decagon Ball pajamas. Felicia suddenly becomes excited and asks to trade her bag—which Chiharu recognizes as belonging to Todoroki Koichi—and Chiharu eagerly agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;deliv&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
**Yachiyo speculates that whoever sent the messages might have gotten the gifts mixed up, noting that each item seems tailored to someone&#039;s personal interests. Sunao realizes her book would suit Nanami, while Yachiyo&#039;s assortment of Japanese sweets matches Sunao&#039;s tastes. Momoko&#039;s fifty Chinese spoons are perfect for Tsuruno&#039;s family restaurant, and Tsuruno&#039;s stuffed rabbit is clearly meant for Momoko. Shizuka is surprised by how well everything matches until she notices a dangerous looking book called &amp;quot;The History of Punishments Volume 3&amp;quot; and wonders who it belongs to. Sana quietly admits it must be for her, leaving Shizuka astonished. Kaede observes happily that everyone now has what they wanted, and Mifuyu notes that everyone is smiling.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;deliv&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
**As Sunao wonders who would create such an elaborate game, Ui suggests it might be Touka&#039;s creation, Little Vacation—an AI that looks and moves just like Tsuruno. She explains that within the game, Tsuruno and Felicia are acting as Reindeer Santas, delivering smiles to everyone, and speculates that this gift exchange might be their doing. Touka confirms that various things are still happening within the game but reassures everyone that their AI counterparts can still see them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;deliv&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
**Inside the Little Vacation game, Tsuruno announces that delivery is complete, and Felicia urges them to hurry and leave, noting that their appearance as okamochi has been changed to avoid detection. Tsuruno suddenly pauses, feeling a strange sense of déjà vu. Felicia reminds her that they are traveling Reindeer Santas, but Tsuruno insists that&#039;s not what she means—dressed as reindeer, visiting everyone&#039;s bedside... she trails off before remembering a special song and suggesting they continue on their way. Felicia enthusiastically agrees to handle navigation. Tsuruno declares herself Super Reindeer-san #2 ready for takeoff and begins singing about dashing reindeer, stardust spilling across the night sky, and miracles finding their way into everyone&#039;s stockings.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;deliv&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tokime Tribe Tale===&lt;br /&gt;
* On a day in December, Ui and Iroha finish shopping and notice the Christmas decorations throughout the city. When Ui feels lonely thinking about the festivities ending, Iroha takes her to Mizuna Shrine, where they see New Year&#039;s preparations underway and a poster seeking temporary Shrine Maiden helpers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;trans&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Dream That Transcends Today|The Dream That Transcends Today]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They detect a Witch and enter its barrier, where they must protect a civilian who wanders in and faints. They drive the Witch away, but not before the woman injures her leg. The woman introduces herself as a Shrine Maiden leader at Mizuna Shrine and worries her injury will affect New Year&#039;s preparations. Feeling responsible, Iroha and Ui offer to help as Shrine Maidens. The woman agrees but notes the spare Shrine Maiden clothes are adult-sized.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;trans&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Tokime squad cleans Suitoku Temple as part of an end-of-year tradition, and during the cleaning, Shizuka notices a strange trinket but sets it aside. Later, while selling donated books at Kako&#039;s store, they meet Team Mikazuki, and Shizuka and Iroha agree to meet in the shopping district tomorrow.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Tokime Tribe Tale|Tokime Tribe Tale]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at the temple, the girls discuss the Tokime Tribe&#039;s New Year&#039;s ritual, where a sacred cup that entraps calamities must be tapped with a sacred sword to dispel accumulated evils. The Mikoshiba family traditionally performed it, but with them gone, the tribe lacks the knowledge to do it correctly, and failure is said to bring disaster.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, Shizuka dreams of a storm destroying the village and her wives dying alongside everyone else.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Shizuka wakes shaken but hides it from Sunao and Chiharu. At Emiri&#039;s counseling center, they meet many Magical Girls, and Iroha notices Shizuka&#039;s distress. Shizuka admits she dreamed about the ritual failing, and Sunao and Chiharu reassure her they will help protect the village.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During shopping, Shizuka becomes separated and breaks down in the crowd. Natsuki finds her, and Shizuka confesses the full nightmare. Natsuki encourages her to accept her fear rather than deny it, and Shizuka realizes she has support.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back home, the mothers have deciphered Mikoshiba&#039;s documents and feel confident about the ritual. That night, Shizuka dreams again, experiencing the perspective of Hatsu Tokime, an ancient heiress who discovers the calamity cup is a sham. A past Mikoshiba deceived a Diviner named Suwe into contracting with Kyubey to create the cup, which only the Mikoshiba family knows how to purify. Hatsu contracted to create the sacred sword as a counter, but the Mikoshibas broke a piece off and hid it. The dream ends with Hatsu begging Shizuka to restore the sword.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka sneaks to the ritual site and confirms the truth with Kyubey. Finding and reattaching the missing piece would destroy the cup permanently. She explains everything to Sunao and Chiharu, and they agree to help her steal the sword and find the missing piece.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka escapes the village while her wives create distractions, and she arrives in Kamihama with the sword.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* In Kamihama, Mitama directs her to others who can help. Natsuki and Tsuruno arrive, and Tsuruno guides them to Sayuki, Mayu, and Ria. Sayuki identifies the sword&#039;s origin, Mayu says restoration would take months, and Ria knows someone who can find objects. They go to Mikura, whose power passively helps locate artifacts. A clue leads them to the Mizuna art museum, where an antiques dealer has the missing sigil, mistakenly mixed into the haul from Suitoku Temple. The dealer will sell it for one hundred thousand yen.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka lacks the money, so they take emergency concert staff work at Sayuki&#039;s show. Afterward, they remain thirty thousand yen short, but Tsuruno wins a New Year&#039;s lottery with a gift certificate for exactly that amount using her luck magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuka contacts her mother and confesses everything, and with help from Chiharu&#039;s mother, they complete the exchange. At Mitama&#039;s, Shizuka slots the piece into the sword, and it glows brilliantly. Ria uses concealment magic to hide its radiance for the return trip.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day near the end of the year, Iroha and Ui visit Mitama, who agrees to adjust Shrine Maiden clothing they can fight in if the Witch returns, consulting Kanagi for design ideas.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;trans&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On New Year&#039;s Eve, Shizuka returns the sword to its place in the village and meets with her friends and the Tokime mothers, explaining her plan to destroy the cup. They agree to help prevent the crowd from stopping her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tokitale&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Iroha and Ui prepare to leave for the shrine in their adjusted, somewhat showy Shrine Maiden outfits. At the shrine, they introduce themselves to the other helpers and begin their duties handing out lucky charms to large crowds. Ui remains nervous until Iroha teaches her a calming trick. After finishing, the Shrine Maiden leader assigns them to guide shrine tours.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;trans&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their first tour customers are Madoka, Homura, Sayaka, Mami, and Kyoko, who came to support them. Ui guides them through the shrine, occasionally stumbling over words but recovering with everyone&#039;s help. After the tour, they perform the Shrine Maiden dance, and everyone is impressed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;trans&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After the dance, a girl named Rui approaches asking about the ultimate fortune. Iroha guides her to the correct location. Rui draws a fortune with a cryptic message about scattered sakura petals and no salvation from the kami. Interpreting this as the Shrine Maidens being in danger, she uses her magic to check for an aspect of death but finds nothing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;trans&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That afternoon, at the kite flying competition grounds, Iroha and Ui join the others. Ui struggles to fly a kite despite multiple attempts. After receiving advice about watching her partner closely, Ui successfully flies the kite with Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;trans&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They return to helping at the kite rental. The history club members arrive to rent kites. Mikura discovers one kite has an Edo period feudal lord&#039;s seal, making it historically valuable.

She asks them to return a different display kite to the competition grounds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;trans&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Ui runs but is intercepted by familiars. The history club, Rui&#039;s group, and Yuuna&#039;s group arrive and handle the familiars. Ui launches Iroha on the kite. Iroha attacks the weak point successfully, but the Witch&#039;s final attack cuts the kite string. Iroha begins falling. Ui, watching closely, runs and catches her just in time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;trans&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Kyoko awakens in a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth in Mitakihara, where she joins Mami, Homura, Madoka, Sayaka, and Nagisa in rescuing children from a Witch. After the battle, they learn a dangerous Witch has appeared in Kamihama and decide to hunt it together. Despite her old promise never to use magic for others, Kyoko realizes she has been helping again and handles the ambulance arrangements before biting into an apple.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;homecoming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, in Kyoko&#039;s dream, she is at an arcade in Kamihama when she encounters Ren and Rika, who invite her to join their hunt for a powerful Witch. With Momo&#039;s silent encouragement, she agrees. They find Sana and Konomi already fighting a Familiar, and the group defeats it easily. Afterwards, they meet a little girl searching for a kitten no one will adopt. Momo silently encourages the girl not to give up.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;homecoming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kyoko finds herself in her father&#039;s ruined church, where a dream-version of Kyubey explains she is reliving the past three days. She finally remembers the truth: Momo is dead, killed alongside their parents in the family suicide her father forced. Kyoko reflects on her past wish, how it led to her family&#039;s destruction, and how she swore never to use magic for others again, losing her Dazzle magic in the process.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;homecoming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the third day, in the real world Ren waits at the meeting point, but no one else has arrived. Mami, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka arrive, tracking the same Witch.

Mami realizes the Witch reads minds and memories to trap victims. They suspect Kyoko, Sana, and Rika are still inside.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;homecoming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi notes that in her dream, Kyoko&#039;s dead sister Momo appeared despite them never meeting. Only Ren could not see her. Homura suspects Kyoko is at the center of the shared dreams. They contact Kagome and Nagisa in Kazamino to consult Kyubey.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;homecoming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In the real-world Kazamino, Kagome and Nagisa find Kyubey at a broken-down church. He confirms the Witch uses mind-altering magic but suggests the shared dreams may not be the Witch&#039;s doing.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;homecoming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In real-world Kamihama, Mami realizes Kyoko&#039;s lost Dazzle magic is causing the shared dreams. Kyubey confirms Kyoko is using her power to convince the others her illusion of Momo is real, and the Witch is exploiting this. The only way to defeat the Witch is to fight with empty minds.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;homecoming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** In the real Kamihama, the group finds Rika and attempts to fight the Witch, but their attacks have no effect.

** In Kazamino, Kyubey explains that if Kyoko can regain control of her Doppel, the Witch will return to its original strength and she may destroy the Labyrinth from within. Sachio and Shimako arrive at the church, revealing they were followers of Kyoko&#039;s father. Kyoko saved them from two suicide attempts, and they have now decided to build a happy family together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;homecoming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Kyoko&#039;s Dream, her Doppel stands ready to jump, having chosen the end of the world. Kyoko tells her about the people their father saved, proving her wish was not entirely for nothing. She declares she will never forget the joy she felt in saving others and will never abandon her past self again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;homecoming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Kamihama, as Mami prepares to re-enter the Labyrinth, a massive surge of magic erupts. The Labyrinth vanishes, and all the trapped victims are freed. Kyoko emerges, having taken on her Doppel&#039;s power and saved everyone from within. When Sayaka asks how it feels, Kyoko admits it feels not bad but insists she has not changed. She simply does what she wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;homecoming&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* One week after preparations begin, Sougetsu and Harumi grow close after he walks her home, but a series of misunderstandings soon drives them apart.

Her own fear of failure suppressed her power and caused the communication loss&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;mismatch&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Aru awakens fully, and Kagome can understand her again. Using Aru&#039;s splitting ability to attack in unison, Kagome defeats the Witch.

===Winter Recollection - An old story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Several days before Christmas, Yachiyo helps Mitama shop for supplies while struggling to come up with a theme for the Coordinator&#039;s Christmas event. They encounter various magical girls around town who are also planning holiday activities, including Hinano, Sae, and Maria preparing a children&#039;s science class, and Seira, Mikura, and Temari working on a Christmas film for the local children&#039;s association. When Mifuyu mentions childhood Christmas parties at Mikazuki Villa and shows a photo of a play she and Yachiyo once performed, she recalls they buried the script in a time capsule.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oldstory&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Winter Recollection ~From us who are still transparent~An old story|Winter Recollection ~From us who are still transparent~An old story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, Yachiyo and Mifuyu return to Mikazuki Villa and dig up the time capsule with Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana. As Yachiyo reads the play&#039;s synopsis aloud, Mifuyu transforms into the Fire Demon King character, her mental age regressing to that of a child while retaining her adult memories. Yachiyo theorizes that following the story&#039;s plot by solving people&#039;s problems and granting the Demon King&#039;s wish might revert Mifuyu, and notes that a child&#039;s perspective makes her uniquely suited to help with the Christmas events.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oldstory&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That same day, Yachiyo brings Mifuyu to help with the Christmas film, and Mifuyu eagerly agrees to play a transforming heroine. They later encounter Hinano&#039;s group still struggling with their science class, and Mifuyu suggests presenting it as a hero show using chemistry, agreeing to appear as the hero. That evening at Mikazuki Villa, the group shares a meal together, and Yachiyo observes Mifuyu is already solving problems and moving toward granting her wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oldstory&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day at the science class, Mifuyu encounters Yukika, who fears her bad luck will cause accidents, but Mifuyu promises to protect everyone. The hero show begins, and though experiments go wrong, the final demonstration succeeds. When a child runs toward the expanding foam, Mifuyu rescues them, becoming a real hero. Afterward, sharing food with everyone at a cafe, Mifuyu realizes her true wish was simply to experience ordinary, happy moments with friends—the girlhood she never had. She instantly reverts to her adult self, recognizing the parallel to the Demon King whose wish was to get along with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oldstory&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu finally realize the perfect theme for Mitama&#039;s event: returning to a child&#039;s heart. As Yachiyo walks home afterward, she feels unusually cold and observes it has not snowed yet this year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oldstory&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Winter Recollection - A phantom story===&lt;br /&gt;
* Days before Christmas, Mitama prepares for a holiday event at her Coordinator shop when Momoko visits and shares news about Mifuyu. Mifuyu had recently transformed into the &amp;quot;Fire Demon King&amp;quot; from a childhood play after opening a time capsule, her mind regressing to childhood, but Yachiyo and the others followed the story&#039;s plot to help her realize her wish had already been fulfilled. While they discuss this, Tsuruno arrives with Yachiyo, Felicia, and Sana. Mifuyu joins them, now in her adult mind but still able to transform into the Demon King form. Concerned the time capsule might still be dangerous, Felicia opens it and discovers the script inside now has visible text. When Yachiyo reads it, she transforms into the &amp;quot;Ice Queen&amp;quot; from the same play, though her adult mind remains. Suddenly, Mifuyu vanishes and the group finds themselves transported to a strange world where they must follow the story&#039;s narrative to save her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;phantomstory&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Winter Recollection ~From us who are still transparent~A phantom story|Winter Recollection ~From us who are still transparent~A phantom story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group progresses through the story, gathering &amp;quot;Fragments of Anguish&amp;quot; that reveal not only the Demon King&#039;s memories but also Mifuyu&#039;s real struggles with her family&#039;s expectations and her guilt over missing Kanae&#039;s funeral. Yachiyo realizes the story is about Mifuyu&#039;s sorrow and discovers a magic wand cut from the original script that can grant small prayers by providing what is necessary. When the story tries to force its &amp;quot;merry bad ending&amp;quot; where the Queen and Demon King vanish, the others use the wand to summon help and break through to Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Yachiyo shows Mifuyu she is no longer just a daughter of the Azusa family but a woman living as herself, saving the Demon King. However, Yachiyo then freezes her heart and vanishes into the mountains, repeating the Queen&#039;s lonely ending.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;phantomstory&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu learns from Yachiyo&#039;s attendant that the Queen always supported others alone and never showed weakness, gathering fragments about Yachiyo&#039;s own hidden pain. She finds Yachiyo in the mountains, where Yachiyo admits she always wanted to be spoiled but felt she had to stay strong for others. Mifuyu calls for help, and everyone sends their feelings, including Iroha and Ui who entered the shop looking for missing girls. Yachiyo remembers her wish when making the time capsule as a child: to never forget their happy memories. The two acknowledge they envied each other&#039;s situations growing up but now share the goal of creating a happy future for Magical Girls. They decide to create a new ending together with no sacrifices, the story resolves, and everyone returns to reality, the time capsule&#039;s magic born from both their wishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;phantomstory&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the Christmas event, the younger Magical Girls reveal they have prepared activities so the older ones can return to childhood. They perform a play, break a piñata, play musical chairs, and present a cake they made together, pampering an embarrassed but grateful Yachiyo.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;phantomstory&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, after everyone has gone home, Yachiyo and Mifuyu watch snow fall outside. They promise to celebrate Christmas together forever, and a White Christmas arrives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;phantomstory&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Don&#039;t Show Tears to Santa Claus===&lt;br /&gt;
* The girls at Mikazuki hold a Christmas party, exchanging gifts and enjoying a meal together. While cleaning up afterward, Felicia becomes upset while reading a picture book Sana made, explaining she does not want it to end because she fears sad endings after losing Iroha and the others. Yachiyo comforts her by saying endings lead to new beginnings, and they must keep moving forward to honor the future that was given to them. Felicia feels reassured and decides to finish the book. Yachiyo privately vows that she will one day bring back the life she had with those she lost, no matter what ending awaits.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tear&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Don&#039;t Show Tears to Santa Claus|Don&#039;t Show Tears to Santa Claus]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana reflect on the absence of Iroha and Ui but resolve to cherish the present and visit the New Year&#039;s sales. Juri&#039;s group participates in a lucky bag sale, where Yuna receives a diary she will use to record their daily lives for when they reunite with Iroha. The Tokime Clan shares mochi and plays hanetsuki, with Shizuka proposing they build a new relationship with Kyubey. Himena&#039;s group also plays hanetsuki while sharing resolutions, with Himena declaring her wish for an amusement park date and hitting the shuttlecock skyward to send their feelings to Iroha. At a guest house, Lavi&#039;s group helps with the New Year&#039;s rush before sharing ozoni and practicing calligraphy. Sudachi returns to Livia and Yozuru after visiting her parents, sharing her resolution to attend school even if just for one day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;feelingthe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that day, all the groups converge at the same location, having each come to offer New Year&#039;s greetings to the one who protected their future. They exchange well-wishes, acknowledging their shared bond from overcoming past trials. Yachiyo expresses certainty that Iroha has received their messages, and Iroha&#039;s voice responds, wishing everyone a Happy New Year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;feelingthe&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When they finally reach Mizuna Shrine, they are sent back to the start for not meeting the goal conditions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;scramble&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During their second loop, they visit Mitama and learn through dream readings that the six Magical Girls spent New Year&#039;s Day together and received origami for good dreams, but Nagisa accidentally mixed them up. Mitama theorizes the dream belongs to Amy, who simply wanted to play until exhausted. Homura runs away just before the finish line, believing she is why Madoka cannot escape, and they are sent back again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;scramble&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** They attempt to open their business but face deep distrust from the local Magical Girls, who mention bad rumors about Coordinators from Kamihama. They meet a local Magical Girl, [[Kuro (くろ)|Kuro]], who states she prefers to work alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;valentinemessage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia appoints Sudachi as the &amp;quot;Minister of Public Relations,&amp;quot; giving her a new look to improve their image. Unbeknownst to Sudachi, Livia and Yozuru&#039;s real plan is to find and eliminate the dangerous Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;valentinemessage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While Sudachi struggles to promote their services, Livia and Yozuru investigate the Witch and learn it has been present for months but has caused no known victims. Sudachi uses her unique magic to forcibly &amp;quot;switch&amp;quot; the emotions of the local Magical Girls from distrust to enthusiasm, successfully drawing a crowd.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;valentinemessage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The following day, Sudachi avoids her duties, convinced she is a failure. She decides to never use her magic again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;valentinemessage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Despondent, she goes to the station, buys a ticket to Kamihama, and decides to run away.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;valentinemessage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Livia, feeling guilty for her harshness, learns from Yozuru that Sudachi might have been trying to like her own magic. They find Sudachi at the station, where she has been unable to board a train, and Livia apologizes to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;valentinemessage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sudachi recalls a past event at the station and realizes the current Witch incident is her fault, sensing a connection to Kuro.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;valentinemessage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Sudachi remembers using her magic on Kuro months prior, accidentally creating the compulsion. Livia deduces the magical effect and proposes Sudachi lift it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;valentinemessage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Witch attacks and Sudachi uses her magic on Kuro, restoring her original feelings. Now freed from the compulsion, Kuro instantly destroys the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;valentinemessage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Sudachi resolves to use her magic carefully, not abandon it. Suddenly, the Magical Girl Sudachi altered arrives, grateful for the experience as it helped her realize her own potential. This causes Sudachi to reconsider her magic entirely and Livia assigns her to handle the coordination for their first regular customer.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;valentinemessage&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The conversation shifts to ideal lovers, with Yachiyo suggesting a wagashi confectioner, Iroha wanting someone who accepts her, and Sana shyly describing a fantasy prince before feeling self-conscious. Felicia comforts her by sharing her own admiration for Kuushinsai-sensei. When Tsuruno is asked about her ideal, she says someone who will help Banbanzai flourish, leading Yachiyo to point out that for all of them, love takes a backseat to their priorities.

When Haruto suddenly returns, Akari gives him her chocolate, but he mistakes it for &amp;quot;care chocolate&amp;quot; for someone he sees as a little sister and leaves before she can correct him. To everyone&#039;s surprise, Akari takes it well, deciding his misunderstanding proves she needs to improve herself before confessing for real.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;doki&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Harumi confronts Sougetsu about calling her by her last name, and he agrees to call her Harumi instead. Masara tells Kokoro that nothing has really changed because their bond has always been strong and does not need reaffirmation through games.

She resolves to find Himena and Alexandra to obtain a Grief Seed and searches alone, defeating one witch by herself but soon becoming surrounded.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;pop&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Himena and Alexandra rescue her, and Nagisa, remembering the Witches were once her, correctly guesses they are distracted by cheese. The group uses Magical Triple Cheese to exploit this weakness and defeats the witches, allowing Nagisa to obtain a Grief Seed and return to Mami. That evening, a powerful witch, another version of her former self, appears and targets Nagisa but then flees, having found a more important objective, and the group agrees to defeat it together. Nagisa admits to herself that she is the cause of the disturbances and decides that after resolving this, she will return to the Law of Cycles.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;pop&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Nagisa confronts the powerful witch alone and finds it completely engrossed in searching for cheese, ignoring her entirely. Furious that a witch embodies the freedom she has been suppressing, Nagisa attacks, and during the fight her Soul Gem becomes heavily corrupted, though she refuses to use a Grief Seed, determined to defeat the witch herself. She unleashes her power and gains a new form, defeating the witch but discovering her power has splashed onto others, causing them to act on their hidden desires—initially creating chaos but ultimately giving shy students the courage to enjoy the festival and connect with each other. The festival resumes, and attendees express their gratitude.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;pop&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Nagisa visits Mami, believing she must return to the Law of Cycles, but Mami greets her warmly and calls her the &amp;quot;Festival Witch,&amp;quot; a nickname other students gave her for her miraculous acts. Realizing she is not seen as a threat but as someone who brought joy, Nagisa decides to stay in this universe and continue living freely with Mami, bidding farewell to the Pink Kyubey and choosing her own path.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;pop&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* One day, Nagisa tries to convince Mami, Kyoko, Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura to go to the sea with her, but they all decline for various reasons. Frustrated at being treated like a child, she storms off alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassSwimsuit&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Nagisa Momoe (Swimsuit)#Side Story|Nagisa&#039;s Swimsuit Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She meets Felicia, Ayame, and Kako while buying snacks, and the three of them wander together before getting lost. They visit Tsuruno at her family restaurant, where she feeds them and offers to join their trip, but they sneak away without her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girls spend the day at the sea, playing and enjoying themselves until evening, when Felicia, Ayame, and Kako prepare to leave. Nagisa, having nowhere to return to, insists on staying. Yachiyo, Konoha, and Hazuki arrive to pick up the others and, learning Nagisa&#039;s situation, invite her to stay overnight at their home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That night, unable to sleep, Nagisa realizes that despite the fun day, something feels missing. She understands that she misses the cheese Mami gives her and decides she must return and face her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konoha and Hazuki accompany Nagisa back to Mitakihara, where Mami is waiting. Mami thanks them and promises Nagisa that today she will do whatever Nagisa wants.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mami gathers everyone and they return to the sea. Nagisa tests Mami&#039;s promise by asking for sweets and activities, and Mami agrees to everything. When Nagisa goes to retrieve Mami&#039;s phone for a photo, the Witch of the former Nagisa appears.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa fights the Witch alone, revealing a new power, and defeats it with some assistance on the Familiars. Afterward, Mami produces cheese and cheesecake she brought, and Nagisa realizes that Mami is the one who gives her the cheese that truly satisfies her. She resolves to cherish every moment with everyone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;NagisassSwimsuit&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kagome&#039;s Hundred Mysteries===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--May need to check and add slightly more details here--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome visits Professor Satomi to discuss her [[Interview Records]].

** The group travels to Aobino and, at the beach, they encounter San and Miyuri, where Nayuta suffers from heatstroke, and the group returns to the inn.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kagomes100&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome, San, and Miyuri discuss the case, and Kagome sends her clones of Aru to search for magical traces.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kagomes100&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** An Aru reports a magical reaction in a forest and Kagome and San go to investigate. They find a blue flame, which Kagome follows. Kagome is then separated from San and pulled into a spring, entering a Witch&#039;s Labyrinth.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kagomes100&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* On a beach inside the Labyrinth, Kagome meets a silent girl and her outfit changes. Her Aru clones are also transformed into forms resembling yōkai.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kagomes100&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome flees from zombified versions of her friends, guided by the yōkai Arus.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kagomes100&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome escapes the Labyrinth and collapses on the real beach. She is found by the others, who explain she was missing for two days.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kagomes100&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They deduce a Magical Girl, fascinated by the occult and local yōkai legends, became the Witch causing the incidents.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kagomes100&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Using a Fire Festival ritual, they manage to open a path into the Labyrinth for everyone. The group enters the Labyrinth to confront the Witch and Kagome, separated again, uses her staff&#039;s light to dispel illusions of her friends and reunite with the real group.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kagomes100&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They defeat the Witch together, and Kagome&#039;s appearance and the yōkai Arus also return to normal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kagomes100&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group decides to combat the rumors by promoting the area&#039;s authentic yōkai legends instead.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;kagomes100&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome receives an invitation from Himena to a gathering of Magical Girls with the condition that she come dressed in something that can get wet. She arrives to discover the true purpose is a beach outing with Himena, San, Shigure, Hagumu, Alexandra, and Miyuri. Despite the deception, Kagome appreciates the gesture. At the beach, Kagome senses a Witch and pursues it alone but loses track of it. While searching, she encounters Amabie-al-chan giving a cucumber to an elementary school girl, and the girl notices Kagome in her Demon Parade Magical Girl form. Before Kagome can handle the situation, Himena and the others find her and suggest she detransform. The girl approaches and asks if she saw a kappa, then excitedly declares Kagome a comrade in searching for the Seven Mysteries.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yokaiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kagome Satori (Demon Parade)#Side Story|Kagome&#039;s Demon Parade Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The girl explains she is researching the local Seven Mysteries for her summer homework and wants to believe in mysterious things to escape problems at home and school. She asks Kagome to become an eyewitness and let her conduct an interview. Kagome, relating to the act of interviewing, agrees. Himena, who overheard everything, tells the girl that the day after tomorrow&#039;s festival is when Seven Mysteries are most likely to appear and claims the kappa was the &amp;quot;Moving Plushie.&amp;quot; The girl excitedly agrees to meet at the festival. After she leaves, Himena reveals her plan to use the Magical Girls to make the Seven Mysteries a reality, with Kagome as the interviewee.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yokaiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Kagome consults other Magical Girls about the plan. Kureha, Juri, Hikaru, and Ao agree to help, and through their discussion they create &amp;quot;The Girl with Horns&amp;quot; as the second Mystery. Later, Kagome brings the consultation to Shizuka, Ryoko, Asahi, Chika, Chiharu, and Sunao. Ryoko&#039;s ghost story and the frightened reactions of Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao inspire &amp;quot;The Chorus of Sobbing Voices,&amp;quot; though the three request the remaining Mysteries be less scary. The discussion continues as they finalize the lineup.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yokaiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the festival arrives. The girl comes with her mother, and Himena convinces the mother it is a volunteer play. The investigation proceeds through various performances: San and Miyuri as the &amp;quot;Leg Girl,&amp;quot; Kureha as &amp;quot;The Girl with Horns,&amp;quot; Shizuka&#039;s group as the &amp;quot;Laughing Ghost&amp;quot; after their sobbing fails, Asahi as the &amp;quot;Prophesying Cat,&amp;quot; and Shizuku&#039;s sudden appearance as the &amp;quot;Torii Gate to Another World.&amp;quot; As they prepare for the final Mystery, Kagome senses a Witch and leaves to fight it. The defeated Witch&#039;s disappearance creates a spectacular display of light and plushies, amazing the girl. Himena improvises that the final Mystery is the &amp;quot;Nurarihyon,&amp;quot; a yōkai leading the &amp;quot;Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yokaiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that night, Kagome rides home on the train with Tasuke, Nayuta, and Lavi, who have fallen asleep. As she drifts off, she recalls the girl&#039;s words about believing in the Seven Mysteries. Despite everything, it becomes a summer memory she will never forget.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yokaiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Puella Historia===&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Ui accumulate the records of magical girls from the past when Iroha suddenly collapses after returning from her sixth trip to the past, destabilizing her existence due to her soul being in the present while she acts in the past. Yachiyo and Kagome discover issues with the APS malfunctioning, leading them to Sakurako, where Nemu explains that a [[Spoiler:Uwasa#Soul Dome|Soul Dome]] was used to allow Iroha to travel through time. As her existence has become unstable, Nemu implores the magical girls of Kamihama to retrieve fragments of Iroha&#039;s concept from the six eras she visited, as well as providing books containing her alter-egos to instruct them through the mirrors.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;presd&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Puella Historia Present-day Kamihama|Present-day Kamihama]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &#039;&#039;For more information, go to [[Timeline/Magia Record|Magia Record]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

* A group of Magical Girls gathers to address the crisis and Yachiyo suggests that all present Magical Girls contribute their magic to sustain the purification system until those in the past return.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;presd&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo recalls feeling Iroha&#039;s presence among the gathered magical girls and she proposes that the collective presence of the girls Iroha sacrificed herself to save might recover her concept. This proves unsuccessful, so Livia suggests investigating the Mirrors Witch, Mikoto Sena, who resides within Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;presd&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu has Sakurako retrieve Mikoto&#039;s closed book from the Magia Record, and Kagome uses her power to enter it and communicate with the record of Mikoto. The record claims she has not betrayed Iroha and is merely observing her fulfill her promise. Before Kagome leaves, Mikoto warns her that a Witch has been near them the entire time, one that feels familiar.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;presd&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo&#039;s group returns from hunting, having failed to find Iroha&#039;s concept at the Mirror Witch&#039;s former battlefield. Kagome suddenly awakens and urgently warns everyone of an apparent nearby Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;presd&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mitama and the adjusters, concentrating deeply, sense a faint Witch presence. Mitama guides Yachiyo to attack a specific point in space, revealing a Symbols Familiar. After its defeat, the Soul Dome reacts, collecting a fragment of Iroha&#039;s concept that the Familiar was carrying.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;presd&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group realizes this specific Witch&#039;s magic has become faint to them after Coordinators had used its fragments for adjusting Soul Gems. The group deduces that a Witch has been stealing Iroha&#039;s concept.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;presd&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kagome, after consulting Mikoto&#039;s book again, relays information about the Witch. The Symbol Witch is ancient, and she can create and control separate offshoots of itself even across time. It has been rooted beneath Mizuna Castle since the Sengoku period, and has been devouring other Witches to build strength.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;presd&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo gathers the group to attack the Witch at Mizuna Castle immediately, and Nemu sends Sakurako with Yachiyo&#039;s team as her representative. After its defeat, Yachiyo&#039;s group returns to the Labyrinth of the Eternal Sakura and soon, the teams that traveled to the past begin to return. The Soul Vessel glows brightly as it collects a large portion of Iroha&#039;s concept.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;presd&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** All the teams that traveled to the past return safely, having successfully retrieved the fragments of Iroha&#039;s concept from history.

** Their reunion is interrupted when Iroha&#039;s Soul Gem suddenly flares with pain and 10&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-43&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&#039;s Barrier erupts, swallowing Iroha and Yachiyo. The Witch&#039;s massive form appears and Kagome realizes the Witch they defeated was merely an offshoot, and the main body has now recovered alongside Iroha&#039;s concept and is merging with all its separate parts across time.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;presd&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Automatic Purification System is stolen, and the Witch&#039;s Barrier covers the entire world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;presd&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Memoria 1933.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Kamihama is now engulfed in a massive Labyrinth, with the Witch at its center. Iroha and Yachiyo, trapped within the void, witness disturbing visions of the Witch’s past and her wish for a prosperous paradise, which led to misfortune. As the other girls fight their way through the Labyrinth, Yachiyo, on the verge of becoming a Witch, devises a risky plan to exploit the Witch’s connection to Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tom&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Story Puella Historia Pillar of Tomorrow|Pillar of Tomorrow]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo, having gone back in time to gather the hopes of Magical Girls of the past, transforms into Historia Yachiyo and delivers the final blow to the Witch, freeing Iroha. Touka and Nemu reveal their secret plan to restore Iroha and Ui’s mortal forms inadvertently caused the crisis. They explain that Iroha’s concept has been fully restored, but she must return to the Eternal Sakura for final verifications.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;tom&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Paradise Shift===&lt;br /&gt;
* Iroha and Ui, the core of the Magia Record system, are enjoying their return to normal life in Kamihama. However, they notice many of their friends are acting secretive. Through a series of misunderstandings including a portrait (a &amp;quot;montage&amp;quot;), talk of &amp;quot;drugging&amp;quot; (making science sweets), &amp;quot;cutting and stabbing&amp;quot; (flower arranging), and a stage for &amp;quot;singing and dancing,&amp;quot; Iroha and Ui mistakenly think some of their friends are plotting against them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradiseshift&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Paradise Shift|Paradise Shift]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their investigation, led by Tsuruno and Felicia, eventually reveals that everyone was secretly preparing a surprise welcome home party for them. The misunderstanding is cleared up, and Iroha is deeply moved by everyone&#039;s feelings.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradiseshift&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shortly after, feeling they have been resting too much, Iroha and Ui visit the Eternal Sakura to check on Touka and Nemu, who are maintaining Magia Record. They learn that due to the nature of their return, which was due to 10&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;-43&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&#039;s intervention, going back into Magia Record would trap Iroha and Ui there permanently. Touka and Nemu had kept this secret to ensure Iroha and Ui could enjoy their normal lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradiseshift&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:51199 tamaki family1.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The following day, Iroha and Ui spend a final, happy day with their parents at an amusement park, which strengthens their resolve. They decide their duty to protect all Magical Girls outweighs their personal happiness, and they choose to return to Magia Record permanently.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradiseshift&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the party, the welcome home party begins. Iroha and Ui, their minds made up, announce their decision to return to Magia Record forever. To spare their friends the pain of their absence, they even ask Touka and Nemu to create a rumor that will erase everyone&#039;s memories of them. Their friends vehemently refuse this, insisting they would rather bear the pain of memory than forget.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradiseshift&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a final twist, Touka and Nemu reveal their own surprise that the immense positive energy generated by the party itself has provided the power needed for Iroha and Ui to travel freely to and from Magia Record, thus their sacrifice is no longer necessary. The party truly becomes a true celebration of their return, and the group makes plans to visit the amusement park together, now able to move forward without sacrifice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;paradiseshift&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Kuro&#039;s (くろ) Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuro defeats a Witch and secures a Grief Seed and another Magical Girl appears and accuses her of trespassing, but Kuro declines any conflict or alliance due to her preference for living alone.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kuros2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Kuro (くろ)#Side Story|Kuro&#039;s (くろ) Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuro frequently experiences being mistaken for someone else (Iroha). She stumbles into a Witch&#039;s barrier and barely survives with help from Iroha. They discover a striking resemblance and attend the same school. Despite the awkwardness, they express mutual respect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kuros2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha offers to help Kuro with training, but Kuro declines. Instead they agree to temporarily team up to clarify their identities and prevent future confusion. A shared meal becomes a bonding experience and they form a tentative partnership.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kuros2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During dinner, Kuro learns about Iroha&#039;s altruistic nature and how she grew stronger through the kindness of others. These insights prompt Kuro to reflect on her own solitary lifestyle.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kuros2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuro recalls her childhood in a nurturing environment, but moving to a new middle school disrupted her comfort zone. She struggled to fit in and was exploited by peers, leaving her feeling used. These experiences shaped her desire to live independently.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kuros2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As a Magical Girl, Kuro attempted joining teams multiple times but felt treated as expendable. She often left groups before being expelled and concluded that maintaining false personas was more exhausting than facing loneliness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kuros2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuro reflects on her past and reaffirms her decision to live independently. She insists it is better to remain solitary, protecting herself and others from potential harm.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kuros2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha acknowledges Kuro&#039;s resolve but expresses hope that one day she might trust someone. Kuro admits noticing changes in Iroha since their first encounter and considers whether her own future could also change.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kuros2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inspired by Iroha&#039;s optimism, Kuro agrees to keep an open mind about the future while maintaining her present independence. They engage in battle training and Kuro discovers unexpected synergy when fighting alongside Iroha.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kuros2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During combat practice, Kuro recognizes how effectively they complement each other. She concludes that she must first become stronger and self-reliant before considering companionship.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kuros2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After a dangerous encounter, Kuro reaffirms her commitment to becoming stronger independently. She thanks Iroha and reiterates her intention to live alone as a deliberate choice. They part ways amicably.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kuros2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuro reflects on her journey. She has grown stronger through solo training and occasional collaborations. Another girl offers help and Kuro is surprised by the genuine care shown toward her. She explains her philosophy of helping others as a way to pass on kindness received. While still committed to her solitary path, she leaves the possibility of future cooperation open.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Kuros2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Iroha &amp;amp; Kuroe&#039;s Side Story===&lt;br /&gt;
This event takes place at some point after Iroha has returned from the Magia Record.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe wakes to her alarm but chooses to sleep in after dreaming of an idealized morning with Iroha, a stark contrast to her reality that makes her want to avoid facing another same old day.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaKuroess&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Iroha &amp;amp; Kuroe#Side Story|Iroha &amp;amp; Kuroe&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After finishing her classes, Kuroe begins her solo patrol and receives a message from San about an emergency gathering for Magical Girls in Takarazaki. Despite her usual preference for solitude, she decides to attend, thinking that nothing will change if she keeps acting alone. At the gathering, she joins a joint patrol and pairs with another Magical Girl, but their time together is quiet and awkward. They find a Witch&#039;s Kiss victim and track the Witch, and Kuroe leads the fight before offering the Grief Seed to her partner afterward. The girl becomes angry, interpreting the offer as pity, leaving Kuroe confused and hurt as she realizes her attempt to act normal has failed again. San arrives and asks what happened, but Kuroe simply blames herself and leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaKuroess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Kuroe receives a message from Iroha suggesting they meet in Takarazaki next weekend, and Kuroe eagerly agrees, feeling that maybe things will finally change.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaKuroess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The following weekend, Kuroe meets Iroha in Takarazaki and initially feels nervous, but she relaxes after Iroha shares candy with her. They decide to go to the park to avoid Kuroe&#039;s classmates, and Kuroe confesses her struggles with acting normal and her fear that she unintentionally hurts others. Iroha reassures her and suggests they simply spend time together without overthinking.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaKuroess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later that afternoon, they watch takoyaki being made and share a genuine laugh together. When an elderly woman asks for directions, Iroha guides her while Kuroe nervously returns the woman&#039;s dropped wallet, and Iroha praises Kuroe for her kindness. Kuroe reflects that she is trying to become more like Iroha. They discover a movie photo spot in the city, but before they can take a picture, Himena, San, and Miyuri arrive. San quickly leaves upon seeing them, and Kuroe explains the gathering incident to Iroha. Iroha wishes she could help clear the misunderstanding, but Kuroe says it is fine as long as Iroha understands her. They take a photo together, though Kuroe is unhappy with her smile.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaKuroess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** That evening, Iroha insists on staying longer to help Kuroe resolve her issues. They sense a Familiar nearby, and though Kuroe hesitates to get involved out of fear she will cause trouble, Iroha&#039;s encouragement pushes her to act. She asks Iroha to fight alongside her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaKuroess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Iroha encourages Kuroe and tells her she believes in her. Kuroe joins the fight while San frees the captured girl, and with Iroha&#039;s help, Kuroe defeats the Witch. After the battle, Kuroe apologizes to the girl from the gathering and explains her intentions, and the girl apologizes in return, admitting she misunderstood. San praises Kuroe&#039;s growth since her time as a Black Feather, and Kuroe credits Iroha for believing in her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaKuroess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Later, Kuroe and Iroha say goodbye. Kuroe asks to retake their photo, this time smiling genuinely, and promises to text Iroha next instead of waiting for her. That night, Kuroe dreams of patrolling with Iroha, feeling that reality is slowly getting closer to her ideal.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaKuroess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next morning, Kuroe wakes from a strange dream and reflects that things have been going well lately. She has become better at interacting with others by emulating Iroha, but she notices her Soul Gem clouds more easily and she feels mentally fatigued. She considers resting but pushes forward, wanting to become strong enough to stand beside Iroha. On her way home, she stops at a convenience store and buys the same candy Iroha shared with her. She thinks about contacting Iroha but decides to keep trying on her own for now, resolving that next time she will go see Iroha herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;IrohaKuroess&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The girl decides she will become the strongest version of herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;YunaJuriVampisress&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Hanna uses her magic to force a confession to the police, but hours later, a new serial attack occurs, proving a separate culprit exists.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RumorMikotoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The police, investigating the new crime, locate their apartment, and the two flee as they&#039;re chased by them. As Hanna prepares to use her magic on them, Mikoto stops her, not wanting Hanna to become corrupted, so Hanna instead makes the townspeople forget them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RumorMikotoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Exhausted and with no place to go, they take refuge in a dirty alley where Mikoto expresses a wish to die. Instead, Hanna proposes they destroy everything that torments them, and Mikoto agrees.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RumorMikotoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna devises the &amp;quot;Let&#039;s Ruin Everything Plan,&amp;quot; involving bombs across the town. They construct what appear to be pipe bombs and plant them at locations tied to Mikoto&#039;s painful memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RumorMikotoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna gives Mikoto the detonator and begins a countdown, but Mikoto realizes she does not want to lose the happy memories she created with Hanna. When the countdown reaches zero, a beautifully restored merry-go-round at a nearby amusement park begins to spin instead of an explosion.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RumorMikotoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hanna reveals the bombs were fake, and she had secretly used her magic to repair the ride to give Mikoto a beautiful memory. That night, they ride the merry-go-round together, and Mikoto confesses that Hanna is her hope and the source of the light in her world.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RumorMikotoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* At dawn, the merry-go-round stops and Mikoto and Hanna leave the town. They plant snowdrop seeds along railway tracks as a testament to their existence. Mikoto tells Hanna she is glad they met and that she wants to continue living as long as they are together, pleading with Hanna not to leave her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;RumorMikotoss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Mikoto&#039;s memories are almost completely gone. To save her, Hanna uses suggestion magic to make Mikoto forget her and instructs her to go to a nearby village alone. Mikoto resists the suggestion due to Hanna&#039;s name being written on her arm and refuses to be left behind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;memorydrops&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In a final confrontation with Nanaka and the others, Mikoto surrenders her body to the Uwasa&#039;s persona to use its power, while using suggestion magic she just transplanted from Hanna to maintain control. Despite a fierce battle, both are overwhelmed and the magic maintaining their forms is nearly depleted.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;memorydrops&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* A few days later, Asuka goes shopping with Sasara. She explains her dream and her plan to revive the ritual, but Sasara is worried it&#039;s based on too little information and could be dangerous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The two sense and fight a Witch, but Asuka is injured protecting Sasara, and the Witch escapes. Sasara is angry that Asuka doesn&#039;t value her own safety, and the arguments escalates until Sasara leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Asuka confides in their friends about the fight, and she declares that she will perform the ritual to prove her righteousness, and by extension, prove that Sasara&#039;s justice is correct. With Emiri&#039;s help, they use a group chat to ask other Magical Girls for information about the ritual.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The group investigates and they find an old mallet in a box at Asuka&#039;s house, along with a note saying it will shine for a righteous person of the Tatsuki family. The mallet does not shine for Asuka, causing her to doubt if she is righteous.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She goes to Suitoku Temple and learns from the Tokime clan that the ritual was likely a Kagami Biraki (Mirror Opening ceremony).&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Troubled by the mallet&#039;s judgment, Asuka tries to become more righteous by performing good deeds around town. Her attempts are clumsy and often backfire, causing more trouble until her friends find her and bring her home.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka goes to apologize to Sasara, but the conversation fails because Asuka still doesn&#039;t understand why Sasara is angry. To help her, Livia performs a coordination on Asuka and tells her to have a real conversation with her friend.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka meditates in her garden, trying to understand righteousness. Ryoko visits and advises her to stop overthinking and to figure out what she doesn&#039;t understand. Asuka realizes she doesn&#039;t understand why she made Sasara angry or what &amp;quot;righteousness&amp;quot; truly means.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Tokime clan and Sasara discuss the situation separately. Sasara explains that she is angry because Asuka constantly risks herself and doesn&#039;t listen to her pleas to be more careful. She wants Asuka to realize on her own that she needs to value her own safety.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 2000.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The day of the ritual arrives and Asuka still hasn&#039;t found a clear answer. The Witch from their previous fight reappears, but Asuka hesitates, once again doubting her own righteousness. Regardless, she decides to fight based on her current convictions and Sasara arrives to fight the Witch as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** During the battle, Sasara mimics Asuka&#039;s reckless behavior to make her understand how it feels to watch someone you care about risk themselves. Asuka finally understands Sasara&#039;s feelings and they reconcile.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The mallet begins to shine, and Asuka transforms into a form resembling the Dragon God from her dream. Together with Sasara and the Tokime clan, they defeat the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Their friends arrive, having been worried and Ryoko reveals that the story about past ritual failures was a lie, concocted to motivate Asuka.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Asuka performs the Kagami Biraki ritual with the shining mallet, which causes the ceremonial mochi to multiply magically. They decide to share the mochi with all the Magical Girls to celebrate the New Year and their reconciliation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;dragonrush&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* During a training camp with her friends, Asuka behaves unusually, tripping over nothing and seeming distracted. When her friends grow concerned, she confesses she is anxious about an upcoming family gathering after New Year&#039;s where she will see her young cousins. She recalls a blunder from the previous New Year&#039;s when she panicked over having only one sweet for two cousins and ran out to buy more, only to learn the baby could not eat solids yet, which made her relatives laugh at her scatterbrained nature. Determined to redeem herself this year, Asuka wants to show dignity as a reliable older cousin and give her cousins New Year&#039;s money to feel like an adult, just as her older cousin once did for her, but she lacks the funds. Emiri suggests a plan and introduces her to a part-time job opportunity.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Dragonss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Asuka Tatsuki (New Year Dragon God)#Side Story|Asuka&#039;s New Year Dragon God Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The next day, Asuka begins working at Chikukoubou, a lunch box shop run by Riko&#039;s family, where she is joined by Maria and Sae. She immediately makes a mistake by tidying up and nearly throwing away sticky notes that identify customer orders, but Maria and Sae cover for her by recovering the order forms and instruct her to stall for time if reservation customers arrive. Asuka faces several customers while stalling, mistakenly calling Tsukasa by her Tsukuyo&#039;s name and using her scatterbrained reputation to buy time. She later serves Kanagi but forgets to give her change and then forgets to hand over the lunch itself, chasing after her to deliver it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Dragonss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After these incidents, Asuka becomes discouraged, comparing herself unfavorably to everyone else who seems perfect and reliable. When Maria asks about her motivation, Asuka shares the story of her older cousin, who secretly gave her otoshidama as a high school student and took her to buy a toy she wanted, bypassing her mother who saved all her money. This memory drives her desire to become a reliable adult like him. Moved by her story, Maria and Sae commit to helping her seriously, and Sae teaches Asuka a method to reduce mistakes: take a deep breath, calm down, confirm, and reconfirm before acting. Asuka practices this with customers and finds it helpful, though the constant tension exhausts her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Dragonss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Maria then encourages Asuka to observe the people around her more calmly. Asuka notices Sae muttering angrily about a rude customer, Maria panicking over a spider, Kanagi admitting she ordered the wrong number of lunches, Mifuyu forgetting her wallet, and Mikage throwing a tantrum in public. She also realizes that Moka Megumi&#039;s overly formal speech was a result of nervousness while practicing errands, and that even Riko, despite her maturity, fell asleep like a normal child. Asuka concludes that no one is as perfect as she imagined, including her idealized memories of her cousin.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Dragonss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The day before the family gathering, Asuka prepares the otoshidama envelopes. She checks repeatedly, confident she has changed.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Dragonss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* On the day of the gathering, Asuka arrives at her parents&#039; home and smoothly handles serving sweets. When her aunt and cousins arrive, Asuka presents the otoshidama envelopes, but her older cousin opens one immediately and finds nothing inside. Asuka panics, then takes a deep breath and realizes she removed the bills the night before for a final check and forgot to put them back. She rushes to retrieve them while her young cousins burst into laughter at her flustered state. Though embarrassed, Asuka accepts it and resolves to grow even more, determined to become truly reliable this year.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Dragonss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- may get a new level of titles and have it be changed to second or third or whatever year after this whole thing makes more sense. But it may be better to handle the year thing in the introductory text of the articles or just not at all. If anything the Timeline/Magia Record article itself may clarify how many years pass.--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** There, the group decides to make an &amp;quot;all-out ozouni dish,&amp;quot; with each person adding a different ingredient. Himena adds ofu (wheat gluten) to it and they all eat the finished ozouni together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;meltingsnow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Himena returns to her own house, where her mother offers her ozouni, insisting the family recipe never changes. Himena realizes her family will not accept her or Hiko, so she makes an &amp;quot;unwritten rule&amp;quot; with her mother to not speak of Hiko. She resolves to endure and make her wish come true on her own.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;meltingsnow&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The next day, they go to the library to research the Complex&#039;s history. They learn about old festivals, and Reira decides to revive the Summer Festival.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ReiraSeikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Another month passes. The third Monthly Festival centers on the treasure hunt. They follow clues, find a broken container, and Seika grows suspicious.

Reira continues, and they discover real artifacts buried around the Complex, temporarily halting the redevelopment project.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;ReiraSeikass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The head of the opposition movement (Otake) asks the girls to clean out the apartment of a recently deceased, solitary old man. While cleaning, they find a magical diary belonging to a girl named Atsuko, a Magical Girl from the past.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mito and Reira want to investigate Atsuko&#039;s story, while Seika is reluctant. They follow clues from the diary to locations where Atsuko sealed her memories.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They learn Atsuko and her two friends, Kazuyo and Tamie, fought a powerful Witch but failed to defeat it, instead sealing it away in Lake Tono.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tensions rise between Seika and Reira as Seika admits she believes the opposition movement is pointless. Due to the fight, they separate.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Mito confides in Kanagi about the fight. Kanagi advises against using her magic to fix it and asks Mito to help investigate the sealed Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika feels remorseful and decides to apologize. She finds a newspaper article confirming the existence of Atsuko, her friends, and the Witch. Realizing the danger, she rushes to find them.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika meets Mito and Kanagi. Kanagi reveals a theory that Atsuko&#039;s memories are stored in physical vessels. They find a new memory showing a fourth, hostile Magical Girl (the Saboteur) attacking Atsuko&#039;s group.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, Reira, alone and remorseful, re-examines a memory and deduces the final sealed location is Lake Tono. She goes there, touches a bronze fish statue, and is possessed by an unknown force.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Seika, Mito, and Kanagi realize Reira is missing and use Mito&#039;s magic to locate her at Lake Tono. They teleport there and see the possessed Reira use her flames to break the seal, releasing the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The Witch&#039;s Labyrinth appears. The trio reconcile and defeat the Witch together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Over the next few days, the investigation into Atsuko&#039;s fate stalls. The girls are then informed that the redevelopment plans have been cancelled. A new company, Waki Real Estate, has bought the complex and will renovate it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They meet the CEO, Mr. Waki, who reveals he is Tamie&#039;s father. He shows them a photograph he received after his daughter&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The photograph contains Atsuko&#039;s final memory, revealing that the Saboteur killed Kazuyo and captured Tamie. Atsuko vowed to hunt the Saboteur and entrusted future Magical Girls with protecting the Daito Apartments.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mitama&#039;s shop, Kanagi reports the events to Mitama. Mitama expresses deep concern that the Magia Record is becoming unstable and asks Kanagi to enter it to investigate for the sake of Iroha and Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frombeyondtoyou&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Conveying a Little &amp;quot;Thank You&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
* On Valentine&#039;s Day, Yachiyo and Iroha host a chocolate party at Yachiyo&#039;s apartment with Momoko&#039;s group and all their friends.

** As Yachiyo observes everyone having fun, she thinks about how Iroha and Ui will soon need to return temporarily to the Magia Record for maintenance. Though the separation is only temporary, the thought of possibly never seeing them again frightens her. She realizes this fear applies to all the magical girls gathered here, as their lives are unpredictable and they cannot always be together. She wants to cherish these precious moments.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thnxx&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha approaches and offers Yachiyo her spot in the next game, feeling self-conscious about her lack of skill. Yachiyo insists Iroha stay, explaining that every player has their role in making the game enjoyable. She then brings up the Magia Record, telling Iroha to ask for help if needed. Iroha gratefully agrees and gives Yachiyo a large chocolate as thanks for everything. Yachiyo thanks her and silently wishes for many more peaceful days like this with Iroha and everyone in the years to come.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;thnxx&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Alina&#039;s Atelier Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu and Touka discuss the instability of the Automatic Purification System, which has led to concerns about Magical Girls potentially becoming witches again. They deliberate on whether or not to inform others about this issue. Meanwhile, Alina has been tasked by Nemu and Touka to paint &amp;quot;portraits of Magical Girls as Witches.&amp;quot; By channeling Magical Girls&#039; magic into her cubes and gathering curses, Alina creates paintings that reveal visions of their Witch forms. For Alina, the beauty lies in how Magical Girls confront and live with these revelations. She decides to turn this process into a business, offering portraits for free but requiring the participants to share their inner struggles.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa1&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Alina&#039;s Atelier#Part 1|Alina&#039;s Atelier Part 1]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

** Emiri, who regrets her impulsive contract and feeling stagnant, deciding to redefine herself and surpass her former idol.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Hinano, who recognizes her complex about her small stature and remains determined to expand her field of study.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shizuku, who contemplates her emptiness and longing for belonging, choosing to cherish the memories of lost loved ones.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sasara, who admits her motivation was to emulate her father&#039;s heroics and now aims to inspire through kindness beyond mere heroics.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Natsuki, who reflects on abandoning baseball and thanks Alina for helping her confront her hidden desires and move forward with renewed purpose.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa1&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Alina&#039;s Atelier Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu and Touka debate whether or not to inform Ui and Iroha about the malfunctioning Doppel Barrier, however, Ui and Iroha overhear them and offer support in dealing with the situation. Nemu suggests making the collection of impurities a natural law of the universe as a solution, but it would mean Ui and Iroha will cease to exist again. Despite this, they reassure them not to worry and resolve to notify their families and other Magical Girls about the situation.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa2&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Alina&#039;s Atelier#Part 2|Alina&#039;s Atelier Part 2]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina continues painting her Factor of Despair portraits:&lt;br /&gt;
** Rena, who learned to accept herself with the help of her friends and resolves to show her gratitude through her actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Momoko, who struggled with her self-image but vows to remain steadfast, crediting her resilience to a hopeful outlook on the future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kaede, who committed to overcoming her fears and catching up to her friends after impulsively becoming a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kako, who grew stronger with the help of her friends after a feeling of powerlessness and is reminded by her Witch portrait to face challenges in her own way.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meiyui, who does not regret her wish&#039;s consequences, believing it prevented greater violence and allowed her to meet her team.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nanaka, who reaffirms her resolve to continue fighting to restore her family’s legacy, despite feeling trapped by her contract.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Konomi, who realized her wish was truly to preserve her happy present and found a new mission in bringing joy to others through flowers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa2&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Status with Big Sister===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Memoria 2038.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Nemu acknowledges there is no stopping Iroha from leaving Kamihama and disappearing from the universe. Touka states they are all together as one, so it cannot be helped, noting that Ui and Iroha are already prepared. Iroha explains the Automatic Purification System was a gamble and this is necessary to return it to a stable state. Ui also confirms they are okay with it. Nemu apologizes for the trouble, and Touka expresses sorrow for always burdening Iroha with difficult roles. Iroha reassures them it is no trouble at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Future Relationships#Current Status with Onee-sama|Future Relationships - Current Status with Onee-sama]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu points out that Touka has always been trouble, especially. Touka objects, and they begin to bicker about falsifying the past, with Nemu threatening to give an example, such as when she refused to eat carrots in the hospital.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka reflects at the moment when all the happy times with their big sister ended, beginning the long road of hardships that led them to now. Ui asks if they are really okay with this. Touka asks Iroha the same. Iroha states she has made up her mind. Touka and Nemu pledge to support her forever. As a final request, Touka asks that when everything comes to an end, they play Old Maid together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha bids farewell to Kuroe, asking her to stay kind and remember her someday when she becomes a distant memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;oneesama&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===For a Fun Evening===&lt;br /&gt;
* The weekend arrives for the planned sleepover at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo reveals she proposed the idea after talking with Iroha, and the group eagerly agrees. Tsuruno asks about Ui, and Iroha explains she is busy with Touka and Nemu and cannot join. Tsuruno then suggests inviting more people and leaves to scout for newcomers.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;funevening&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Future Relationships#For A Fun Evening|Future Relationships - For A Fun Evening]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno encounters Kanagi and Kagome in the city and invites them. They accept and arrive at the villa. Tsuruno surprises everyone by bringing a large amount of food from her family&#039;s restaurant. The group eats, with Kanagi showing unusual enthusiasm for the food, praising its potential rather than its current flavor.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;funevening&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** After eating, Kanagi suggests playing poker, explaining her recent fascination from working at a casino-style event. She teaches the rules, and the group plays using ohajiki as chips. Despite Kanagi&#039;s research and confidence, Sana consistently wins, much to everyone&#039;s surprise.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;funevening&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** To cool off, they shift to snacks and conversation. Kagome begins telling a scary story, and Kanagi joins in, escalating the tension until Yachiyo stops them. Tsuruno then initiates singing to lighten the mood, and the group joins in.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;funevening&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Late into the night, Felicia, Tsuruno, and Sana fall asleep. Kanagi observes that Iroha looked momentarily sad during the fun and asks if something weighs on her mind. Kagome, connecting this to the unstable Automatic Purification System and Iroha&#039;s past disappearances, asks directly if Iroha plans to disappear again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;funevening&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Iroha confirms Kagome is not mistaken. She reveals there is a chance she may never come back this time, though she promises to explain fully when the time is right. Kanagi and Kagome are visibly shaken by the news. They step outside to talk further without waking the others, and Yachiyo, who has been listening, reflects that the time to part with Iroha is already near.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;funevening&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Alina&#039;s Atelier Part 3===&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina continues to paint &amp;quot;portraits of despair&amp;quot; for Magical Girls, asking only that they share their inner struggles as payment. She finds it increasingly difficult to paint and senses time is running out.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa3&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Alina&#039;s Atelier#Part 3|Alina&#039;s Atelier Part 3]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu and Touka visit, concerned about her inability to create new Witch portraits, but Alina insists on continuing her work.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina paints various portraits:&lt;br /&gt;
** Mifuyu, who resolves to atone for her past by guiding younger Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Touka, who reflects on her lonely childhood and vows to protect peace across the universe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Alina herself sees her own Witch portrait for the first time and finds it ridiculous. Nemu reveals that this form was always behind her when her Doppel emerged. Ultimately, Alina accepts this and reaffirms her desire to create art in solitude, pursuing her own aesthetic ideals.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nemu, who recalls her life in a hospital and plans to assist other Magical Girls to ease the burdens on her friends.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Manaka, who rediscovers her passion for cooking and dedicates herself to surpassing her father&#039;s legacy.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsumugi, who, after realizing Manaka&#039;s impermanence, begins documenting her friend&#039;s culinary dedication herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Alina can no longer create her Witch portraits, attributing it to the Automatic Purification System. Touka and Nemu tell her they are going to depart for the Magia Record permanently to make Magical Girl Records, but after they leave, Alina vows to become part of the Magia Record herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;alinasa3&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Recounting from Pictures===&lt;br /&gt;
* Kagome visits Tasuke&#039;s laboratory at his invitation. Lavi lets her in and mentions she is baking a strawberry shortcake at Nayuta&#039;s request, using strawberries from a friend. Lavi offers Kagome a slice.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frompictures&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Future Relationships#Recounting from Pictures|Future Relationships - Recounting from Pictures]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tasuke arrives and proposes they enjoy the cake with his prized tea while he shows Kagome something: a drawing by Alina Gray from when she was hospitalized. He explains he obtained the drawing through a former nurse from Satomi Medical Center who was in charge of Karin. He then asked Karin directly, and she allowed him to borrow it.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frompictures&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The drawing depicts Magical Girls. Karin identified the subject of one drawing as Iroha. Alina drew dozens of Magical Girls in a single sitting, using Karin&#039;s stories and her own memories, before growing bored and stopping. All the drawings are on the back of Karin&#039;s unpublished 4-koma manga, &amp;quot;Everyday Karin.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frompictures&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Inspired, Kagome shares a new idea: instead of only collecting stories, she wants to create a picture book or fable using Alina&#039;s drawings to communicate Magical Girls&#039; experiences more broadly. She plans to ask Sana for help. Tasuke supports the idea but notes the drawings are difficult to identify. Kagome reveals she can sense who each drawing depicts, describing scenes that come to mind.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frompictures&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She identifies drawings of Touka, Nemu, and Ui from their hospital days, bickering in a way that feels familiar to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frompictures&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She identifies a drawing of Nanaka&#039;s group engaged in a friendly, peaceful game of shiritori.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frompictures&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Next is a drawing of Himena tricking Yuna, Shizuka, Lavi, and Livia into attempting an &amp;quot;Infinite Mega Special Parfait&amp;quot; challenge at a cafe.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frompictures&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** She then comes to a drawing of Iroha. Kagome imagines Iroha with Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Kanagi, and Mitama. In her mind, she sees the group sharing a meal together, followed by an emotional farewell where Iroha departs for the Magia Record. Yachiyo reassures everyone they will always remain connected despite the distance. The scene ends with Iroha and Yachiyo affirming they will always be together.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;frompictures&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Kuroe defeats a Witch on a train, but she continues to patrol and fight Witches, reflecting on her loneliness since Iroha&#039;s disappearance.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Last Bird&#039;s Hope|Last Bird&#039;s Hope]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nearby, Nagisa wanders alone, grappling with her separation from the Law of Cycles, when Yu suddenly finds her. Though Nagisa initially mistakes her for a Witch and questions her monstrous appearance, Yu declares them friends and Nagisa reluctantly agrees to accompany her, intrigued by the connection to the increased number of Charlotte Witches.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yusass&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Yusa Yumeno#Side Story|Yu&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As they travel, Yu explains her &amp;quot;job&amp;quot; is eliminating bad guys from a list provided by someone named Shi, which includes both Witches and people. Nagisa witnesses Yu kill someone and realizes the work is real. When Nagisa questions the morality of killing innocents if the list is wrong, Yu admits she double-checks but says eliminating them is still good for Shi.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yusass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yu cannot remember her wish, and Nagisa realizes she cannot remember hers either. A picture book pages intercut the scene, hinting at Yu&#039;s tragic past. Nagisa analyzes Yu&#039;s disjointed emotions, unnatural lack of negativity, and refusal to connect to the future, concluding she is circling a huge emptiness.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yusass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** They fight a Witch together, and Nagisa witnesses Yu regenerate a torn-off arm without magic. Nagisa concludes Yu might be a Frayed End, a malignant factor leading to disaster, and acknowledges that her own interference in space-time triggered Yu&#039;s existence. Despite recognizing Yu as a victim, Nagisa resolves to eliminate her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yusass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As Nagisa prepares to strike, Yu&#039;s magic unconsciously affects her, trapping her in a hospital memory where her mother is scolded. Yu appears and stabs Nagisa&#039;s mother. A voice, Kei&#039;s ghost, demands Nagisa kill Yu, insisting the story has already ended. Nagisa refuses, declaring she is going to the future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yusass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa awakens confused, muttering about Kei as she struggles with fragmented memories. Yu wanders nearby, aimlessly questioning where she was supposed to go.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Yusass&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nearby, Kuroe investigates an area with a rise in crime rate, suspecting a Witch&#039;s involvement. She encounters a fleeing man and a Witch at a station, but the Witch escapes. She then meets the Magical Girl Nagisa, who warns her to stay away and claims to have defeated the Witch.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** While patrolling, Kuroe meets Yu, who is searching for a &amp;quot;bad guy&amp;quot; named &amp;quot;John.&amp;quot; They agree to search for him separately and on her search, Kuroe senses a Doppel and returns to find Nagisa&#039;s Doppel running wild. As it fades, multiple Charlotte Witches appear. Kuroe and Nagisa prepare to fight, but Nagisa is too exhausted. Suddenly, Kuro, whom Kuroe once saved, appears and tries to help but is quickly overwhelmed as well.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yu arrives to the scene in her Magical Girl form and easily defeats the Witches. She reveals she is hunting the man they&#039;d encountered, &amp;quot;John,&amp;quot; because he is on her list of bad people. Yu explains she kills bad people to stop them from appearing in the nightmares of someone important to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa tries to confront Yu but collapses, and, despite John&#039;s remorse and desire to turn himself in, Yu kills him. Kuroe, horrified and confused, also loses consciousness. She has a dream where a voice - Kei&#039;s - tells her to kill Yu before her identity is erased. &amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Kuroe wakes up in an abandoned orphanage with Yu and a girl named Shi. Yu explains she brought Kuroe there because Shi can help with her problems. While Yu goes out to give them space, Shi tries to counsel Kuroe about her grief for Iroha, but Kuroe rejects her advice, as Iroha gave her hope as a Magical Girl.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shi explains her own power, born from her mother&#039;s wish, which forces her to experience the suffering of others in her nightmares. She explains that in her past, she was used by an organization for her powers until Yu began killing the people from her nightmares, which made the dreams stop. Now, after Yu has killed the organization staff, Shi provides her with a list of bad people from her nightmares to guide her killings.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa and Kuro attack Yu and throw her into the orphanage trough a window where Kuroe and Shi are. Nagisa tries to remind Yu of her past and of Kei, but her attempts are unsuccessful and Shi gets angry at Nagisa.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The confrontation is interrupted when a group of criminals arrives, seeking revenge for their comrades Yu killed. Yu bushes off their gunshots and proceeds to kill all of them, after which Nagisa tries to kill Yu as well. The violence and conflicting ideologies overwhelm Kuroe, and she&#039;s caught in the crossfire, causing her Doppel to emerge and swallow her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe is trapped within her own Doppel, consumed by self-doubt and the belief that she is unworthy of being a Magical Girl. Kuro is also pulled inside while trying to save her. A manifestation of Iroha appears to Kuroe, using Kuro&#039;s body to manifest and encouraging her to move forward.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe accepts herself and, with Iroha&#039;s help, defeats the manifestation of her despair, which takes the form of her Witch. Kuroe says a final goodbye to Iroha, promising her that she will carry her vision to the future.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Meanwhile, after separating from the group, Shi is approached by Kyubey once more, and this time she decides to make a contract and becomes a Magical Girl, wishing to also understand their hopes as well as their pain. She first synchronizes with Kyubey, learning of Doppels and the details about her mother&#039;s wish.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yu finds her and Shi uses her new magic to synchronize with Yu as well, and discovers it is completely hollow, with no real emotions or love for Shi. Devastated that Yu&#039;s kindness could have never been truly genuine, Shi breaks her Soul Gem and kills her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** When Nagisa finds her, Shi uses her magic to sync with Nagisa, sharing all the knowledge between the two instantly. She learns the truth about the Frayed, other universes, and the Law of Cycles. She declares that she will become a &amp;quot;spokesperson for the unheard&amp;quot; and continue to kill, but for the sake of the victims in her dreams and Yu&#039;s memory.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shi unleashes her Doppel and escapes with Yu&#039;s body, vowing to remain in &amp;quot;yesterday.&amp;quot; Nagisa is left behind as she yells that she will tell the plice about Shi&#039;s actions.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Kuroe and Kuro wake up outside the Doppel, where they meet up with Nagisa. She reports that Shi became a Magical Girl, but lies to them that she wished for the power to rehabilitate criminals. Nagisa also insists that she alone will keep watch over her and Yu, which the two seem to accept.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nagisa parts ways with them and Kuroe reflects on her experience, vowing to continue living as herself, even if she is imperfect.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A rumor about a being called the Nighthawk starts circulating.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;lastbirdshope&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Shi has a series of odd dreams.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shiyuiss&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Shiyui Shikiri#Side Story|Shi&#039;s Side Story]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shi confronts two men in a back alley, declaring herself a Magical Girl who punishes evil. After striking one, the other rambles nonsensically about the nature of evil before Yu appears. Shi &amp;quot;wakes&amp;quot; in her dark room, actually another layer of her dream, and is disturbed that this dream had villains but no clear victims, unlike her usual nightmares. She considers becoming a Magical Girl to change her life but hesitates, remembering she already refused Kyubey&#039;s contract. Still, she searches for him, wanting to talk again.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shiyuiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shi searches alleyways for Kyubey but finds Yu instead, who says she was working, killing bad people. Yu asks about Shi&#039;s dreams, and Shi explains her ability: she experiences others&#039; pain and suffering in her dreams as if it were her own, a power inherited from her Magical Girl mother. She tried to contract with Kyubey to erase this power but could not, hesitant to become like her mother. Yu reminds Shi of their arrangement: Yu kills the bad people from Shi&#039;s dreams, making those nightmares stop and giving Shi&#039;s suffering meaning. Shi worries she is using her, but Yu insists Shi is special because her dreams let her truly understand victims. Shi admits she is afraid of losing her ability to understand others, and Yu suggests she is making excuses to keep her nightmares because ending them would mean forgetting the victims. Shi reflects that her love for Yu is the only proof her feelings are still her own, since she dreams of Yu attacking others yet still loves her. Yu tells Shi to look at herself, and Shi realizes she is already a Magical Girl, though she does not remember her wish or her magic.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shiyuiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In another dream, Shi and Yu confront the same two men, but after the fight, the young man breaks the fourth wall, questioning the story&#039;s logic. Yu discusses plot ideas, suggesting the evil organization gave Shi nightmares and killed her parents. Confused, Shi &amp;quot;wakes&amp;quot; again and wishes her life could be like this dream. When Kyubey appears, she searches for him once more.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shiyuiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In another dream, Shi finds Yu again, who pressures her to write names on a list, insisting the dreams need meaning. Yu rambles about narrative contradictions until Shi transforms involuntarily. She questions if Yu is real, and the figure claiming to be Yu admits she is not a mirror and vanishes.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shiyuiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shi &amp;quot;wakes&amp;quot; on a train at sunset. There, Kei thanks her for bringing Yu back but says that if she were alive, she would have killed Shi two thousand times. Kei calls Shi a Sleepwalking Ghost and tells her she can keep Yu&#039;s empty shell.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shiyuiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In reality, that night, Shi delivers three dead bodies to a taxidermist Yu knew. The taxidermist who offers free services in Yu&#039;s memory and invites her to stay and talk about Yu. Shi agrees and the taxidermist prepares and stuffs Yu&#039;s corpse.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shiyuiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* A few weeks later, by the ocean, Shi sits down with Yu&#039;s body and speaks to it, reflecting on how Magical Girls become trapped in the past, unable to move forward, wondering if that makes them ghosts. She explains she now understands both victims and perpetrators in her dreams and will become a Sleepwalking Ghost like Yu, continuing to eliminate the enemies in her dreams. She states she returned what was inside Yu, but Yu was hollow anyway, so nothing has changed. She decides she will simply become Yu now.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;Shiyuiss&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Heart, Now and Forever===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yachiyo prepares breakfast while managing the antics of Felicia, Tsuruno, and Sana. Despite moments of chaos, Yachiyo ensures everyone is ready for their day, promising souvenirs if they all return home that night.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;theheart&#039;&amp;gt;Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Heart, Now and Forever|The Heart, Now and Forever]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** On her way to school, Felicia encounters a girl troubled by a recent fight with her friend. Encouraging her to apologize, Felicia reflects on her promise to Iroha and Ui to perform one good deed daily.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;theheart&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Sana finds joy in sharing lunch with classmates who unknowingly interact with her. She resolves to express gratitude and continue moving forward for Iroha and Ui.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;theheart&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Tsuruno balances her busy schedule at Banbanzai with personal commitments. With encouragement from her father, she renews her promise to Iroha and Ui to unwind and not overwork herself.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;theheart&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** At Mikazuki Villa, the group enjoys dinner together. Yachiyo reveals she visited Iroha and Ui&#039;s parents, fulfilling a promise to deliver items entrusted to her.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;theheart&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo visits Nemu&#039;s mother, delivering a stuffed polar bear cherished by Nemu.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;theheart&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo meets Touka&#039;s father, handing over Touka&#039;s smartphone containing a heartfelt video message for him.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;theheart&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In Takarazaki City, Yachiyo delivers handmade gifts from Iroha and Ui to their parents— a family portrait and lights. They find comfort in these mementos, appreciating their daughters&#039; sacrifices and legacies.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;theheart&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Having fulfilled her promises, Yachiyo fears losing her connection to Iroha and Ui. Encouraged by Tsuruno, she sets a new mission to spread hope among Magical Girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;theheart&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia and Sana swiftly defeat a witch. As more magical girls around them hunt witches, Yachiyo acknowledges the global network of Magical Girls united by Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu’s hope, vowing to fight until no Witches remain.&amp;lt;ref name=&#039;theheart&#039;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* As preparing a dead body to take outside through taxidermy takes time, the ending of Last Bird&#039;s Hope&#039;s section, which consists of Shi&#039;s Side Story, could only take place a few weeks after the other parts of the event. As Shi could use her magic to stop the body from decay, and retroactively heal and &amp;quot;freshen it up,&amp;quot; the taxidermist doesn&#039;t have to worry about the body going through autolysis, bacterial growth, or maintain the body&#039;s pliability. However, even with this in mind, the process would still take a few weeks, as the body would need to be eviscerated, an armature would need to be measured, constructed and assembled into the body. The body would then need to be filled and shaped around the armature, and the incisions would also need to be repaired.&lt;br /&gt;
